WeCrashed (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

Adam, I will honor and cherish you
through all life's adventures.
Wherever we go, we'll go together.
Two cosmic voyagers bound together
by a transcendent love.
All my life, all your life,
and all our past lives
have led us to this moment.
Without you, I am nothing.
Mazel tov!
Yay!
Whoo!
Yay! Yay!
- Thank you.
- Oh, my God.
And the purple. Are you effing kidding me?
Only Rebekah.
A $15 million investment?
On a $45 million valuation.
But we're just getting started.
Just getting started.
Hey. Is Gwyneth coming?
Oh, no, she couldn't.
She's busy shooting Country Strong.
That's the business we're in.
You're acting again?
Yeah.
Great.
James, my brother. Come. Come, come, come.
Tequila shots. Make them doubles.
Okay, a toast. Lehayim!
What happened to teaching yoga?
That seemed like such a good fit.
Well, acting has always been my calling.
But I had to abandon it
in order to return to it,
if that makes any sense?
40,000 square feet?
Forty. Just signed the lease.
Best views of the Empire State Building
in all of Manhattan.
- Hi.
- Hi, sweetie.
Is Gwyneth Paltrow coming?
No.
- Do you mind if I tell you a quick tip?
- Of course.
The first rule
of commercial real estate is,
"It's not what you can see.
It's who can see you."
And the second rule is, you know,
"You gotta find the right banker."
You're gonna need one of the big boys.
Goldman or J.P. Morgan.
Who's yours?
Risakov and Associates.
Hi.
Do you mind if I steal him?
- No, no, no. Go ahead.
- All right.
- Hey, is Gwyneth coming?
- No.
This is for you. A gift.
Thank you, Daddy. Thank you.
Daddy, it's too much.
- It's for a home.
- No, it's too much.
Daddy.
It's a dad's job
to take care of his little girl.
Thank you so much.
It's my job now, Bob. My job.
- But just in case.
- Adam.
- Daddy, you--
- Enjoy.
Thank you so much.
- Do you have a tissue?
- I do.
- I'll get you some tissue.
- Thank you so--
One million dollars?
- What are you talking about?
- He--
- You need to slow down.
- Just what kind of a check is that?
He gave the same to my sisters.
- I--
- I mean, that was a long time ago.
I don't know where he got this from.
You okay?
- No, no, no.
- I just-- I wasn't expecting it.
This is a-- We're gonna have a home.
All right.
- I'm so happy.
- You should be.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
- What are you drinking?
- Tequila.
- What kind?
- Whatever they're serving.
I think we can do a little better
on your wedding day.
- Two 1942s.
- Coming up.
We got off on the wrong foot.
I can provide for her, Bob.
Okay? My company was just valued
at 45 million.
Okay, you never congratulated me on that,
by the way.
Can't buy a home with a valuation.
Well, you can buy a home with the money
that comes along with a valuation.
Did you get it? The money?
It's coming. It's coming. It's coming.
You know, she was so excited
when she told me about it.
My cousin Ron,
on the board of directors
of the New York Real Estate Association.
- You met him.
- Yes, Yoda.
Taught me a big lesson today.
"It's not what you can see.
- It's who can see you."
- See you.
That's right.
Ron, why don't you tell Adam
about Yevgeny Risakov's investments.
Yeah, did he do the thing
about the 18 cents?
Yeah-- It's a lucky number.
Lucky? Yeah, you will be lucky
if you get the 18 cents.
If you're gonna take care of her,
take care of her.
Oh, my God!
Okay, okay, okay.
Adam!
Yeah!
Whoo!
Adam!
Whoo-hoo!
Adam.
Adam.
Miguel.
Okay. We talk to a lawyer,
- and we get out of the lease.
- No, no, no.
We're not talking to a lawyer,
and we're not getting out of the lease.
Okay, we'll sublease then
and just cut our losses.
No, we're not subleasing either, Miguel.
Okay, then we'll call Randall,
and we'll convince him
- to set up a Greendesk here.
- We're not calling Randall.
This isn't Greendesk. This is WeWork.
- This is nothing, Adam.
- This is everything!
We might still get the money.
Yeah. You can't pay the rent with "might."
Miguel.
We use the Greendesk money.
I mean, that's everything I have.
That's my kids' education. That's my--
It's my first house. It's my retirement.
Miguel, you don't have a mortgage.
You don't have a wife.
You don't have kids.
All you have is me! You understand? Me.
Listen.
You bet on me once.
I'm asking you to bet on me again.
The Greendesk money,
it keeps the lights on.
Light.
Okay, all right, so how do we--
How do we pay for the renovations
of this shithole?
God made the world in seven days.
I'll get the money before then.
I promise.
You know you're not God, right?
You have to admit,
I do look a bit like him.
The kitchen and bathrooms
are completely redone,
but they managed to maintain
all the pre-war charm.
Does it have a key?
To the park? Of course.
Units in this building
don't come on the market very often.
I love it.
I… I don't know.
Wha--
I'm sorry.
Can we just have a moment, please?
- Of course.
- Thank you.
Adam, come on.
I don't know. I just think
there's something better we can do
- with your father's money. Yes.
- Better how?
Better than… an apartment
with a key to Gramercy Park?
Yes. We can invest in our future.
I don't even know what I would tell him.
I mean, do you-- I don't think
you fully appreciate what he--
what he went through to-- It's--
Tell him you believe in your husband.
This is for us.
Get out of it.
Rivka, it's not gonna happen.
Not gonna happen.
This looks like
more than a million dollars to fix.
Well… $1.5 million. We think.
Where are you going
to make up the difference?
The Greendesk money.
So everything?
Well, yes.
Adam, tell me you've got this.
Adam, tell me you've got this.
Tell me you've got this.
I…
Tell me you've got this.
Tell me you've got this.
Tell me you've got this.
Tell me you've got this.
Tell me you've got this.
Tell me you've got this.
Tell me you've got this.
- I…
- Say it.
Say it. Adam.
I've got it. I've got it.
I've got it.
I got it.
Okay.
I mean, it says
there's another 500 square feet in here.
Okay, come on.
Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
- What the hell?
- Wow.
Keep the swing. Lose the dildos.
Hey, wasn't Rebekah supposed to come here?
Rebekah.
Wasn't Rebekah supposed to
light some sage?
You know, the ceremony?
She's not answering her phone.
How many more hookers
gotta fall out windows
before the mayor admits
we got a killer on the loose?
They're called streetwalkers, ignoramus.
And cut.
- What? No "ignoramus"?
- No…
And we're moving on. Next setup.
Okay, got it.
Can you go and play back
the scene from before this?
Yeah. They should check it.
And we're gonna move on from this.
But I think it's the take before.
- Monica.
- Yes.
I just had to say thank you
for the opportunity.
Please. You know,
I was a big admirer of your uncle.
Could we have playback again please?
Did I give you everything you needed?
Or-- Yes.
I loved your Cherry Orchard
at Lincoln Center. I just--
- It blew my mind.
- Well, thank you.
So inspiring.
- Well, thank you.
- Yeah.
I miss the theater.
I mean, not that I'm not grateful.
Oh, no. Hey,
you gotta pay the bills, right?
- Yeah.
- Speaking of which,
if you ever need me to come back, I'd be…
Well, honey, your character just died, so…
- Okay, well, maybe, like, for a flashback?
- Okay.
You know, I love to play.
We cannot put the bathrooms there.
- Why?
- 'Cause there's--
- You're right in front of the windows.
- That's the point.
Listen.
Do you have a degree in architecture?
A degree?
I don't need a degree
to understand where the bathroom goes.
But you don't understand
where the bathroom goes.
Would you trust a doctor
who didn't have a degree
to slice your stomach open?
- Doctor? You're not a doctor.
- I'm a doctor. Would you just let--
Let me choose where the bathrooms go.
- They go, I go. See?
- Come on.
If people are coming in, okay?
They go over here. I need them
to keep the whole thing to the side.
- Hi, guys.
- No, no, no. Not there.
- Guys! Guys.
- I don't need a degree--
Don't you have 40,000 square feet
to work in?
Yeah, there's mold.
No. We don't know
if it's the good mold or the bad mold.
So-- Just to be clear.
There is no good mold. It's the bad mold.
Do you mind if we
do a few interviews here?
For the flow, you know.
I don't know.
Can I come into your space
and do my work there?
Yes. Yes!
- Come, come! Anytime. Come. Come anytime.
- Fine.
- Soon as we figure out what the mold is.
- There is no good mold.
So, my husband is leasing this building,
and he said that I could use this floor.
Now, I know it's rough and industrial,
but I'm thinking we could be, like,
an American Donmar Warehouse.
I-- It's--
This space. I haven't seen walls
this far apart since I left Texas.
Can you imagine
how long you would have to wait
before some establishment male
artistic director gave you free space
to do what you wanted to do with the show?
Can you imagine what we could do
if we didn't ask permission?
What would you do with this space?
Rent free?
I'd do Chekhov. I'd do The Seagull.
- Or Three Sisters?
- Yeah.
Oh, my God. This is incredible.
I mean, can you feel it? Can you feel
the energy that we're creating here?
Yeah.
So… yes?
- That's a yes.
- Yes!
I have always wanted to play Masha.
I think you'll make a wonderful Masha.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
What do you think when I say "workspace"?
Productivity.
Quiet.
Just a few more questions on my end.
Do you match 401(k) contributions?
No.
So, IT is central
to the office environment,
so the hours are sort of
"whatever it takes."
Best quality?
I'm always on time.
- You have a dental plan?
- No.
- Do you have a stand-up desk?
- No.
Well, if IT is central to your mission,
why are you paying so little?
Mom, I can ask my own questions.
- Casual Fridays?
- No.
- Private restroom?
- No.
I want the experience for my résumé.
I don't care about the money.
- Hey!
- Shouldn't say that in a job interview.
Welcome. Welcome.
- How old are you?
- Sixteen.
He's a man.
Okay. I'm in.
Jacob, what do you think when I say
"workplace"?
Cubicles,
ugly furniture, bad fluorescent lighting…
death.
Exactly.
Look, I get it.
It's a good concept.
"Good"? It's "good"?
- It's a great concept.
- It's great.
- All right.
- It's great.
It's a great concept. It's very cool.
It's very progressive. I'm into that.
The thing is… I--
I have an offer for 10K more
from another company.
- 10K more.
- Hey, can you watch my laptop?
Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
So I'm--
She just asked me to watch it. I don't--
Did you just take-- Do you know her?
Jacob, listen to me.
People deserve better than this.
Better than tiny tables,
spilling coffee on your laptop.
Better than hunting for an outlet
like a truffle pig
or waiting in line for half an hour
for a bathroom key
to see only God knows what.
- Right.
- Okay?
Better than hoping a complete stranger
will keep an eye on your $2,000 laptop.
But don't believe me.
Believe our investors.
We're three months old, Jacob.
And we have a valuation of $45 million.
So my question for you is,
would you rather have $10,000--
$10,000 or 10,000 shares of Facebook?
- Sorry, can I just take a couple days…
- Sure.
- …just to sort of go over--
- No, no, no.
No. We want bold, decisive people
at WeWork.
Right now, in or out?
In or out?
- I don't know, but--
- Ya'aqov.
- Yeah?
- Don't let me down. In or out?
In.
- I'm in.
- Welcome.
- You're in!
- I'm fucking in.
Welcome, my brother. Welcome to WeWork.
- Yeah, let's do it.
- We'll see you Sunday.
- I'm in. I'm in.
- Yes. Welcome.
Are you serious?
I was just demonstrating a point.
Got to be a better alternative to this.
Do you even know what this is?
- A shit place to work.
- With bad coffee.
This is community.
That's why people are here.
I've listened to your sales pitch
all afternoon.
And people don't care
about the tiny tables.
They don't care about power outlets
or the line for the bathroom.
They just don't wanna be alone.
Congratulations. You're hired.
Thank you. I have a job.
No, you don't.
You're sitting at the coffee shop
at 2:00 p.m. on a Thursday.
Okay, I don't.
Do you really think
you're the next Facebook?
No, I don't think it.
I know it.
Come build tomorrow with us.
We're going to change the world.
I know it's still under construction,
but if you follow me, I have some layouts
and some mood boards I can show you.
No, no, no, no. Kombucha.
It's like magical tea, but with a mother.
We think it can be like
an American Donmar Warehouse.
A what?
Dad. Dad!
- Are you kidding me with this?
- We're gonna fix that.
My eyes!
- No, no, no. Miguel?
- My fucking eyes!
- Call 911!
- Adam?
- Adam!
- Oh, my God. I'm sorry.
Adam, are you okay?
We're fine. He's okay.
- It's fine. I'm okay.
- I am not okay.
- I've been sandblasted!
- It's okay.
- Run it under some cold water.
- God.
So, this is where my money went?
It's gonna look amazing
once construction's done.
- Sure, sure. Looks great.
- It's-- It really--
Dad, stop it. Stop.
It's funny. People think
New York real estate is about views.
It's not. As you know,
it's not about what you can see.
It's about who can see you. Right?
That's our superpower.
People like you and me, immigrants,
sons of immigrants,
we see things that other people can't.
Well, bro, I love the coworking model.
- Good. Good. I love it too.
- I do.
But Bear Stearns was a tenant of ours,
for Chrissake.
I mean, my parents, Georgina…
they're old-school.
Any company less than 200 years old
seems risky to them.
A coworking start-up,
they'll never go for it.
But, hey, you keep in touch, okay?
You come back to me when you have
more of a track record. Okay?
I'll give you a call in 200 years.
- 200 years.
- 200 years.
- Okay.
- Don't forget.
Is this Georgina?
That's Georgina with George.
Georgina and George.
And the fraternity?
That's Sigma Tau.
- Sigma Tau?
- SoCo was my pledge name.
- Sigma Tau, wow.
- Dude, I don't remember half of it.
That's how good it was.
Some of the best years of my life.
- You never remember a thing.
- I choose not to remember.
- Yeah, well…
- Otherwise, my wife would kill me.
- It's another story right there.
- Yeah, right?
Hey, do you want to have a drink?
I would love to,
but I gotta catch a train.
Stavros, I just lost the perfect building,
and you just lost the perfect tenant,
okay?
I think we both deserve a drink.
Honestly, I can't.
SoCo would have had that drink.
Yeah, well, SoCo didn't have a newborn.
You have to get home to breastfeed?
Bro, that's low.
I'll walk you to the train.
It's a work drinks, Mama, okay?
Just stop worrying. It's one drink.
No, no, no, Mama. It's not--
No.
- Four drinks. Maybe five.
- I know him, okay?
- No. Stop.
- Mama, it might be six.
No, I'll be home soon, okay?
He's never coming home, Mama!
- Poor SoCo. Poor SoCo.
- Dude.
He must be hanging his head
in shame, my friend.
What's that supposed to mean?
Here you are, a grown man
having to ask your parents' permission
to stay out late on a school night.
Do you have to tinkle?
- I can take you to the restroom.
- No, no.
We do family dinners
every Tuesday and Thursday.
Only Tuesdays and Thursdays. That's it?
Why not the whole week?
- It's normal.
- Make everyone happy.
At least we know who wears the panties.
It's not your mother.
It's not your father.
- I think it's you, all right? What's that?
- Hey, no. Hey.
No, no, no. You're wrong.
- Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
- It's--
Am I wrong,
or you just don't like to hear it?
Check.
No, no, you're wrong.
They gave me everything.
Except the power to be your own man.
Listen.
I understand. I do.
My parents, they sacrificed for me.
They gave me everything as well.
But we owe it to them
to make bold, brave decisions.
You understand?
Yeah.
Stavros, take out the lease.
Go ahead, take it out.
Take it out, take it out.
Give me the lease. Come on, come on.
You say your parents gave you everything.
Pay them back by making a great deal.
You'll thank me.
Yeah. Fuck it.
- Yeah. Fuck it.
- Fuck it.
- Fuck it. Fuck it.
- Fuck it!
- Fuck it. Fuck it!
- Fuck it!
- Fuck it.
- Fuck it!
- Fuck it, huh? Yeah.
- That's it, my man.
You see? The Greek Gods,
they didn't strike us down.
- No.
- Bartender! Bring another one.
My new landlord is paying.
Am I?
"They fly and will continue to fly,
however philosophic they may become.
And it doesn't matter how philosophical
they are, so long as they go on flying."
- "But still, isn't there a meaning?"
- "Meaning?"
"Here, it's snowing.
Where's the meaning in that?"
"I think man ought to have faith
or ought to seek a faith
or else his life is empty. Empty."
Yeah, okay, I'm gonna--
Let's stop for a minute here.
Just everybody, take a second.
Rebekah, come here.
Let's just have a little powwow.
You're holding that skirt
like it's gonna get away from you.
- Just a little-- You know, it's been--
- I know. You need to let that go.
- You need to let that go.
- Okay.
Because Masha is a woman like you,
- no different from you.
- Okay, she's like me.
She's in a different place
- in Russia in 1901.
- She's in Russia.
She's trapped in a dying society.
She's desperate to break free.
But she is as smart, as passionate,
as bold as you are.
You need to put yourself into this.
- Be bold. Be brave. Let it out.
- Okay. Okay.
Okay. Let's take it again.
"One of them is gone forever,
and we are left behind
to try and begin our life anew."
- "Calm down, Masha."
- No, sweetie, that's not the right line.
- No, it's the right one.
- No, it's not the right line.
- I can see it's here. I can see.
- I was rehearsing all day.
- It's not the right line.
- I'm reading it.
Look again.
It's fine.
Oopsie.
- I had the two big speeches mixed a bit.
- I know. I know. It's--
Well, you do from left to right…
- Honey.
- …we do from right to left.
And with my head,
I might as well read it upside down.
Honey, you're doing great.
Just cue me back in, please.
You want me to read the line by
Chebuttkin, right?
Chebutykin, yes, please.
- Che-booty-kin? Che-booty-kin?
- Don't. This is serious.
- Adam, don't. No, don't.
- Did you say Che-booty-kin?
- No, no, no. I like him even more.
- Adam. Adam.
- Please, this is serious. Please.
- Chebutykin. Okay, okay.
Look, I don't understand
why you need to practice so much
over and over and over again.
You're a great actress. You're a natural.
Well, Monica's friend
is Dana Brunetti's CE, so--
- A CE?
- It's a creative executive.
And she knows all of these agents
and casting directors and--
I don't even know if they're gonna come.
Of course they'll come.
They'll come and they'll see what I see.
That you're a star.
A galaxy.
The universe. Okay.
The big bang.
A good bang. No, no.
A great bang.
Okay, from the top.
We don't just want you to work here.
We want you to find
your business partner here.
We want you to find
your life partner here.
The only problem
with all this incredible progress
is I won't be able to ride my bike
in here anymore.
No, Adam, go around, go around.
That's my wall…
paper.
Stavros, my brother, I'll be right there.
Well, it's green.
- Yes.
- Matches your shirt.
Who is that?
Our new landlord for our Midtown location.
- We don't have a Midtown location.
- Yeah, well, we do now.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Look, I know you would have tried
to talk me out of it.
Yeah,
because we can barely keep this going!
The lease terms, perfect--
Enough! Adam, stop it!
Stop doing this for once!
Just get out of it.
Miguel, hang some wallpaper,
change your diaper.
I'll be over there
- making our dreams come true.
- Yeah, if you go through with this lease,
- I walk.
- No. No, you won't.
Fuck you.
Everything okay?
No, it's just a lovers' quarrel.
Could I talk to you for a sec?
What a night. What a night.
My God, I was feeling it the next day.
God, my brain… was gone.
Yeah, totally. But…
Look, bro… this is a little embarrassing.
No, no, no, no. What do you--
But about the other night,
I got a little more drunk than I meant to.
I think we both did.
Yeah, right.
And I heard what you were saying,
and that's shit that I gotta deal with.
Yeah. Hey, well…
But I came here
to ask you to do me a solid
and rip up that lease.
Rip up the lease?
Yeah.
Okay.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Really?
- Really.
Oh, God. Thank God.
And we're cool?
We're cool.
- You're a good dude.
- Well…
You're a good dude.
You know, when I told my parents
who I'd leased to, they shit a brick.
Can you imagine?
What is that supposed to mean?
I mean, you guys aren't even
a real company yet, so, you know?
"Not a real company."
- No--
- Stavros,
what happens when this gets out there?
What do you mean?
That when Stavros Gatakis makes a deal,
it means nothing.
Your business card might say president,
but we both know it's all pretend.
Mama and Dada, they run the show.
Stavros, New York City real estate is a--
It's a very small pond.
If this were to get out there…
Good to see you, my new landlord.
Stavros!
Miguel.
I know I'm not God.
Because I can't do it without you.
You know that. I'll see you inside, okay?
See you in there!
Shit.
You gotta line up the pattern.
I know you have to line up the pattern.
That's what I was trying to do.
Father died one year ago today.
Your saint's day, Irina.
It was very cold, snowing, in fact,
and I never thought I'd live through it.
But now, a year has gone by,
we don't mind thinking about it,
and you're back to wearing white.
Why remember?
On the curved seashore,
a green oak stands.
Around that oak is a golden chain.
A golden chain.
What the fuck?
You're in a funny mood today.
Where are you going?
- Home.
- That's odd.
Are we doing accents?
Never mind.
I'm coming back in the evening.
Goodbye, my darling.
Once again, I wish you well and happy.
In old days, when Father was alive,
we always had 30 or four--
or 40 officers.
Amazing.
Amazing, amazing, amazing.
I closed my eyes.
I thought I was in Moscow.
Thank you.
I couldn't keep my eyes off of you.
Thank you, my love.
Little more rehearsal next time.
It was really something.
Yeah, it was great.
You made the space alive.
- You gave it something special.
- It was.
- Thank you for all of this.
- Worth it.
- Honey.
- Hey. Hey.
- Hey, we did it.
- Yes.
That was-- You know, you gotta start
somewhere, and you were very good.
It's only gonna get better and easier.
- Really great.
- Thank you.
Okay, I'm gonna head back up.
I'll meet you at home, okay?
Okay, thanks for coming.
- Okay. Of course.
- Love you.
Wouldn't miss it.
- Love you. Love you more.
- Love you.
- Love you. Okay, bye.
- Love you. Okay.
We have Four Loko, we have tequila,
we have a Fruit Roll-Up.
I know who that goes to.
Listen to me. Twelve hours till showtime.
And we can do a lot in 12 hours.
- Are you with me?
- Fuck yes.
- I said are you with me?
- Yes!
- Are you with me?
- Yes!
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Let's go, baby!
Adam!
I don't know. Here we go.
Adam!
Here we go. Pull that.
Pull out these couches, then kind of
have them facing where the sun sets, but--
Yeah. Here it comes.
Wait. Winner.
- You get a rematch.
- You know what, I--
…go and have their coffee.
I'm telling you,
I've been around the block.
You can never go wrong…
Okay, okay,
I'll show you where the light is.
- Why didn't you answer your phone?
- Give me five minutes and I'll be down.
- Now. Let's go! Come on. No!
- Okay, it's expensive. Be careful! Mom!
Cheers.
- Come on, we're late!
- I'm coming!
- Come!
- I told you, I have a calc midterm today.
Now, do you see the yellow wire?
The blue one is plugged in the trunk.
The double-banded green wire.
Okay, that's it. I can't do this.
I'm calling you an Uber.
Mom, can you turn it down?
- No, it's her favorite song!
- Turn it down!
It's pink.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
Look at what we did.
What you did.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not getting away with that.
We've been working too hard.
Yes. Okay--
- Yeah-- Yeah, okay. Okay, okay.
- Okay.
Now we're ready.
In two minutes, everything changes.
This isn't a place for people
to punch in and out.
It's a place for people to connect.
To belong.
And when people feel that here,
when they feel that energy,
they'll tell their friends.
And their friends will tell their friends.
And their friends will tell the world.
- Yes.
- The swing.
- Okay. You ready?
- Yeah.
And pretty soon, pretty soon,
two locations will seem
like a distant memory.
To the future.
Lehayim.
- Lehayim.
- Lehayim.
WeWork!
WeWork! WeWork!
WeWork! WeWork! WeWork! WeWork! WeWork!
- WeWork!
- Whoo!
- Okay.
- Whoo!
Lesley, did we unlock the doors?
Yeah.
It's unlocked?
Because sometimes it sticks.
Yeah.
It's open.
You sure?
Yeah.
It was like this revelation.
I was never meant to be an actor.
Actors are selfish.
And, "It's all about me. Look at me,
clap for me, pay attention to me."
Anyway…
these are for you.
Give them to a worthy student.
- Well, thank you.
- Thank you.
It's such a shame
we're gonna lose the space.
What? We're losing the space? Why?
Didn't someone--
Yeah,
WeWork has to start rehabbing this floor.
But we've committed to artists
that are already rehearsing.
Can they at least keep their dates?
Probably.
Probably?
Fuck me.
- Next time, next time.
- Okay, okay. Fine.
Hello.
- How's your day?
- It was good.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- You almost done with your meeting?
- No.
It's just one meeting after another
and another and another.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
And special…
You're beautiful.
Thank you.
Here it is. Here it is.
Here?
Here.
Adam, you didn't say the dinner was here.
Oh, right!
- This is the apartment that you loved.
- This is the apartment.
- The one with…
- …the view of Gramercy Park.
Yes, all right.
Now we're gonna have dinner here.
- I didn't remember the address.
- I'm so glad that now I found out.
- Should we just…
- Okay. Yeah.
Honey. This isn't the right apartment.
- No, no, no. It's the right one.
- Honey, there's nobody here.
What are--
I said dinner,
but it's more of a housewarming.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my-- Can we afford this?
No, but we will. We will.
It's five bedrooms, but--
Rivka.
Thank you. Thank you.
No, no, no, thank you.
There's five bedrooms.
- Five bedrooms?
- Yes, one's a bit small,
- so I thought maybe a meditation--
- Nursery?
And when the heel finally snapped shut,
it almost cut off the tip of her finger.
Blood was spurting everywhere.
The look on the buyer's face was--
It was a disaster, a complete disaster.
What-- So, did you make the sale?
Of course I made the sale.
You know, I'm sitting here,
and I'm listening to you,
and all I can do is think three things.
First, "God, he's got great hair."
Second, "I'm looking at a WeWork sign."
Now, that's your second location, right?
Second location. Very proud.
Second location.
Yeah, it kinda feels a little like
you're targeting potential investors here.
And what is the third thing?
"Aren't his feet cold?"
No, seriously, you chose a location
across from one of
the world's biggest investment banks.
Am I onto something here?
It's not what you can see.
It's who can see you.
So, how many locations is WeWork
hoping to open in New York?
Who leases the most amount of space
in New York City right now?
Well,
I think that would have to be J.P. Morgan.
Say hi, Mr. Dimon.
Mr. Dimon, we'll overtake you
in three years. Three years.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No disrespect.
But I am completely serious.
The future of work, it looks different.
There's a new generation out there,
and it's big. You understand?
And they don't think like their parents,
they don't dress like their parents,
they don't work like their parents.
Why would they want
their parents' offices?
Right?
Young people want it to be fun,
exciting, inspired.
And fortunately for us,
our landlords immediately,
in every location,
immediately shared that vision.
WeWork is not just a company.
It's a movement.
It's millions and millions
of people saying,
"I don't just want to make a living."
They want to make a life.
Well, I definitely want to come back
as you in my next life.
Scott.
Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Neumann.
Thank you.
I don't think I understood
a word that you said,
but I really wish I'd said it first.
- I'll take it as a compliment.
- Do.
- Thank you.
- Adam.
Bruce Dunlevie, Benchmark Capital.
Bruce.
I want a tour.
Absolutely.
Some people just have it.
