[SINGERS HARMONIZING.]
It's Showtime tonight [BLAIR.]
Previously, on Black Monday You borrowed money from actual villains who will cripple us.
[MO.]
All you have to do is keep Blair in the dark until he marries that Georgina chick.
- Hi there! - [DAWN.]
I didn't hate your Blair plan; - I hated that you didn't tell me! - How do you guys get it done? I just don't feel like there's enough hours in the day.
- Cocaine.
- Should I try some? [INTENSE MUSIC.]
You know what? Fuck your dad! I would rather fuck my father! I broke up with Tiff! [MELLE MEL'S "WHITE LINES" PLAYS OVER SPEAKERS.]
- - - [VOICES WHOOPING.]
- Fuck.
Yes! Bass Ooh ey Work Ooh, white lines Vision, dreams of passion Blowin' through my mind And all the while, I think of you I'm not getting a real "I made a huge mistake and I'm rushing back to my fiancée" vibe off him.
I mean, it's gonna be tough to do the Georgina play - without the Georgina.
- Nah, it's fine.
You know, it's He's just making cash for the first time.
I mean, you remember the moneymoon period, Dawn.
[MO.]
He'll get sick of this shit.
- [SNORTING.]
- [MO.]
It's like when the nuns caught me smoking.
They locked me in the closet.
They made me smoke a whole carton of cigarettes till I didn't want another fuckin' cigarette - as long as I lived.
- Hmm.
- Ticket to ride - [DAWN.]
Fuck this.
It's been a month, Mo.
We gotta step in.
No, no, no he's gonna get it outta his system.
Don't worry about it.
- [THUMP.]
- [GASPS.]
- Come on, Blair.
- [DAWN.]
Come on.
- [MO.]
Yeah.
Ha.
Hey, hey, kid.
- [DAWN.]
Oh, yeah [DAWN.]
Guys he's gonna be okay? [MO.]
Oh, good.
You gave us quite a scare, Blair! [CHUCKLING.]
Hey, buddy, I'd say being dead for a song and a half kinda qualifies as hittin' rock bottom, don't ya think? [DAWN.]
Hey, maybe we should call Tiff? - [MO.]
Let's call Tiff, buddy.
- [DAWN.]
Let's call her.
Let's call her.
[WHEEZY INHALE.]
Fuck that bitch.
Rang dang diggedy Dang di-dang Okay.
"Fuck that bitch" isn't the best start, but Blair is a puss.
Deep down, he still loves Tiff.
We just have to remind him of that, and he'll take her back.
I'm way ahead of you.
And these are Contestants for the Manhattan Pageant.
Jesus.
Are you still doing that dumb shit? Dawn, it's a venerable Wall Street tradition to auction off the most eligible pit trader.
Look, just because I moved upstairs doesn't mean I forgot where I came from.
It's a very prestigious honor to be asked to emcee this thing, you know.
- You're emceeing? - [LAUGHS.]
Hey, well, when you set the all-time auction record, baby By having a couple of trick hos, as in tricka-mo-niasis? get into a bidding war over you with your money? It's for charity! The Afghani Mujahideen are in the fight for their lives with these Russian bastards.
Fine, fine, fine.
What does this have to do with getting Blair and Tiff back together? It is a honeypot, Dawn.
A honeypot? Hogan's Heroes.
Classic con.
Look, we just have to convince Blair that Tiff is dating a newer, hotter guy.
He's gonna get jealous, and he's gonna want her back.
And there is no hotter guy than Jackson Polack.
Ha.
Yeah, the traders call him that because he's Polish and he splatter-painted half the town.
[SCOFFS.]
Ehh.
I get it.
Face: ten.
Body: ten.
Brains: Polish joke.
Exactly.
Guy'll do anything for a buck.
- [ZIPPER WHINES.]
- Foolproof.
So your plan is foolproof because it worked on a sit-com? Everything works on a sit-com.
There's two different TV shows with little black midgets playing rich white people's kids.
- Come on! - [LAUGHS/HUFFS.]
Can we just please try it my way for once? Let's just talk to the kid about the power of love.
The Huey Lewis song? How's that gonna help? Keith! Yo! What's up, boss? Is so weird calling a chick a boss.
It's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Listen, I need you to take these big payments over to the Yakuza.
Little behind on my loans.
Uh, Do-Mo arigato - Stop it, please.
- Jesus Christ.
You know, actually, I have tics to a show tonight, so maybe I can drop this off tomorrow? Oh, yeah, that's no problem.
I don't mind getting my dick teppanyaki'd by the Yakuza - [DAWN LAUGHING.]
- 'cause you wanna go see Starlight Express for the tenth fucking time.
It's layered, okay? Ha.
The whole show is actually a young boy's dream as he kind of teeters on the cusp of manhood [SIGHS.]
Ah.
Fine.
Is it me, or is he getting weirder? He's definitely getting whiter.
- Thank you, Kyle.
- [BEEP BEEP.]
It's so cool you live in a hotel.
- You're like Eloise.
- [SOFT R&B ON STEREO.]
I don't know who that chick is, but, yeah, it's pretty nice.
You know, it's just temporary, till I get my own place.
- I been lookin' around.
- For the last 15 years.
Do they give you, like, a monthly rate or something? Mm-hmm.
So Blair, how are you? I can't imagine how hard it must be to be apart from the love of your life.
Iiiit's pretty great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
- Yeah? - Tiff's been living with her parents uptown, so I get to do - whatever, whenever.
- [MO LAUGHING.]
Last night, I ordered ethnic food.
- Oh, hard to argue with that! - Oh! [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
But I will, because, Blair, love is dope.
Ah, exactly.
Ethnic food you know, it gets old.
Except falafels.
Now, those fuckers are built to last.
Like true love.
You know? And it doesn't come around often.
Trust us: you don't wanna be the 40-year-old guy in the club that everybody feels bad for.
Well, I-I don't know that they feel bad for the guy so much as they wanna high-five him, you know, for not settling.
You know what I'm talking about, right? No! Blair wouldn't be settling.
I mean, Tiff is his soul mate just like Spencer is my soul mate.
I agree with the Tiff part of that sentence.
I'm just saying that, you know, sometimes it's brave to be alone instead of, you know, settling for the first lame-ass doctor that you lay eyes on that satisfies your parents but not you.
Sexually.
I'm sorry is Tiff the limp dick doctor - in this scenario? - You know what? It is brave to not jump off a roof when your best friend is a robot.
Well, if Short Circuit has taught us anything Blair, everyone needs someone to share life with, someone to share a bottle of wine with at the end of a shitty day and toast to not dying alone in a hotel room.
With a fuck machine in - [MO.]
Jesus Christ.
- [DAWN.]
A coke-induced haze - [DAWN.]
What the fuck? - [BLAIR.]
What the fuck? Yeah.
That the fuck.
I'm sorry that you had to find out like this, kid, all right? I got a friend over at Page Six, the socialite beat.
Is Tiff like out there? Yeah, I'm afraid so, champ.
Word on the street this guy's hung like a hose.
You mean horse.
I do not.
I mean, I know I broke up with her, but I just didn't expect this this soon I [STAMMERS.]
- I gotta go find her.
- Yeah.
'Scuse me.
See ya, buddy.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- [LAUGHING.]
Right? - Mission accomplished.
- No.
Let's go celebrate.
Cedar Tavern.
- What do you say? - I am going home to my husband.
You wanna bag all this up for him? You know, I appreciate a man with hips.
Oh, good.
'Cause he's got those.
Enjoy fucking Kyle.
Jealous! [DOOR OPENS, THUDS SHUT.]
[SOFT R&B CONTINUES.]
- [BEEP BEEP.]
- Y-you can't take that kinda shit to heart, Kyle.
Just let it roll off your back.
[THE CARS' "DRIVE" PLAYS.]
[BEEP BEEP.]
Tiff? - Spence? - In the bedroom, babe.
Hey, bring us a bottle of wine, yeah? ["DRIVE" CONTINUES.]
Who's gonna tell you when It's too late Kyle? I'm home.
Kyle? Who's gonna tell you things Aren't so great? Papa Bear, I've been naughty Hey! I thought we were gonna get busy.
Oh, babe, I'm so full, I can hardly move.
[CHUCKLES.]
You can do stuff to me if you like.
- Who's gonna drive you home - Mm-mm.
Tonight? Who's gonna pick you up [TIFF.]
Would you get me a paper towel? - Dip it in some cold water.
- [JACKSON.]
I'll even - wipe it off of you.
- Ooh! You don't wanna lick it off? And scene.
That felt really good.
You think Body Heat's a weird movie to audition with? [TIFF.]
I just really wanna get into this acting class.
Maybe I'd loosen up if we had sex again.
- Ah.
- Yeah.
Then we can clean up all the laundry that we knocked over - when we had sex in the hall.
- [JACKSON.]
Yes! Ohh [BOTH MOANING.]
To your dreams - [TIFF.]
Rrr! - [JACKSON.]
Rrr! [TIFF.]
Ah ahh! Mo, we've got a problem.
Yeah, you're damn right we do the Yakuza killed Kyle! - [GASPS.]
- Where the fuck is Keith? - I been trying him all night! - He just skipped in singing show tunes.
Look at this shit.
I had it translated.
It's something Kyle would have done.
He loves languages Loved languages.
Oh, fuck me! - They never got their money? - No! - Keith! - Keith! Hey.
You screamed? What happened with the drop? The Yakuza never got their fucking cash! Whaaat? That doesn't make any sen You just save it for the Yakuza that I'm sending to your house to get their money outta the fillings in your children's goddamn teeth! That's pretty dark.
Your Rachel's godfather.
- Go handle it! - On it.
Mo, I'm sorry.
All robocide aside, but we've got bigger issues.
Bigger than me getting my dick chopped off? You're gonna be broke.
[EDGY MUSIC.]
[LAUGHS.]
This fuckin' day! What the fuck did you do? The Yakuza didn't get their money.
I asked you to do one simple thing.
- Whaaa - Oh, don't "whaaat?" me! 'Cause I was just in there "whaaat" ing Mo! Look, this chick Geena I been mackin' on beeped me 69-1-1.
That's an oral emergency.
- I had Wayne do it.
- [LAUGHS.]
Wayne? - Yeah.
- Wayne's a test tube baby! Why the fuck would you do that? Same reason you had me do it, so you could go see fuckin' Starlight Express again? - [LINE RINGING.]
- It's layered, okay? Greaseball represents the twilight of the [TOGETHER.]
Industrial Revolution - before it got - [WAYNE.]
You got the Wayniac.
The Yakuza didn't get their money! - Whaaaat? - [KEITH.]
No.
Nope, Wayne.
- Where the fuck are you? - [WAYNE.]
Home sick.
[SNIFFLES.]
Jeez! Hey, unrelated to that, I just wanted to let you guys know how much fun I've had workin' with you.
You're not just good.
- You're golden.
- Are you dying? Is that the Golden Grahams slogan? [PA.]
This is the final boarding call for flight Wayne are you at LaGuardia? No, man, I told ya, I'm at the movies.
You just said you were home sick.
Tell me you did not take the VIG money that we owe murderers and put it all on the LaGuardia Spread.
[WOODENLY.]
This call has been disconnected.
- [BEEP.]
- Fuck! Fuck! What's the LaGuardia Spread? You! Are there any abnormally huge positions - open on Wayne's account? Go! - What? Wayne's a day scalper.
[KAREN.]
He never trades anything larger than Oh, God! Wayne's long 100,000 contracts of feeder cattle? - [KAREN.]
On margin.
- [KEITH.]
Fuck! What's the LaGuardia Spread? My name's Karen, by the way, - if you guys - [KEITH.]
Shut the fuck up, Karen! [MO.]
Hey, there he is.
- How'd it go, slugger? - Well, it was a night of passion between Tiff and this, like, Polish centaur.
And now she doesn't wanna get back together with me.
How'd she meet someone so fast? You have to help me.
Please? [DAWN.]
Blair, this is totally fixable.
You take her to a super-romantic spot and just I want you to tell her how you feel.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah, like that'll work.
Well, it worked for you.
You took me to the Cedar Tavern, And you poured your heart out that night after work.
Remember? I hate to admit it, but that's what did it for me, your vulnerable side.
I don't remember that.
And I don't have any sides.
I'm all edge.
You don't remember telling me that you were the last guy in your junior high to get pubes - and how it totally defined - Nope.
No, no, nope, nope.
Don't remember that.
Hey, listen, Blair.
You wanna get Tiff back, you know what you need? Good, old-fashioned honey pot.
- [DAWN.]
Ugh, God.
- Like Hogan's Heroes.
Like Hogan's Heroes.
Exactly.
Foolproof.
Except when it makes shit worse.
Well, it worked on you, didn't it? There's no way you would have shown up at Cedar Tavern that night if you hadn't seen me makin' out with that Oreo model.
I think you're supposed to say "mulatto" now.
Yeah.
She was a print model for Oreo Cookies, asshole.
Uh, no, she ate Oreos.
I mean, she was fat.
- Jealous.
- You know what? She had shit to do with it, and fine.
- Honeypot it is.
- Great.
And I'll be the honey.
Great.
Just as I intended it.
- Great.
- [MO.]
Great! So I will get Tiff's boyfriend to bring her to watch him tonight in the Manhattan Pageant, and you two kids can do your thing.
- Great.
- Great.
Wait.
How do you know who he is or that he's in a pageant? Jesus Chris, kid, did you ask this many questions when you watched Hogan's Heroes? Yeah.
It's a sit-com that takes place - in a Nazi concentration camp.
- Mmm.
That's fair.
Remember that guy who could fuckin' pull - the handkerchief through his nostrils? - Yeah.
Bo Melp! What happened with that maniac? Who the fuck knows? Same thing with Sammy Marsh, Len Burger, and Chippy Cox.
When you're down to your last stack and you're all outta moves, there's always one last play if you're crazy enough to try it.
You take a huge position out on the margin I'm talking about a crazy fuckin' long shot you pack a bag, you head to the airport, and you call the floor.
If you're lucky, you come home a hero.
If you're not, you don't come home ever.
You get on a plane, and you fuckin' disappear.
But Wayne has a family.
- Bo Melp had two.
- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
Damn.
The LaGuardia fuckin' Spread.

[DAWN.]
I mean, you've seen Teen Wolf.
When the guy turns into an animal, he starts dunking, break-dancing, turning on white women, scaring the shit outta white men.
My favorite line from that movie is, "I'm not a fag.
I'm a werewolf.

- Wherever he is.
- [BLAIR.]
Ha ha ha ha ha.
[TIFF.]
Listen, I just came over to say I don't want things to be awkward between us, Blair.
And I'm hoping that eventually you and I could be friends.
You do? For once in my life, I need to focus on myself.
On Tiff.
For once.
So good-bye, Blair.
Nice to meet you.
That bow makes you look skinny.
[DAWN.]
Oh, thank you.
You should get one.

Tonight was just the first step, you know? It might take a little [BALLAD CONTINUES.]

- Oh! - Ah! Oh, my God.
Tell me.
Tell me that you just brought Dawn here - to make me jealous.
- Yes.
Did it work? Of course it worked.

Part of me didn't know whether I should be jealous of her or of you, and that part of me - was my Hot Pocket.
- Yeah, your little Hot Pocket.
- [BLAIR.]
Yeah - [MO.]
Hey.
Is this wrong? I mean Tiff's sort of the worst, and Blair's not.

I didn't wanna disappoint you, and honestly, sometimes you can be a little bit scary.
I know I can, and I'm sorry.
I'm working on it with my numerologist.

Oh, my God.
You've gotta be Tiff the one and only.

[WOMAN.]
killed today by a food-borne illness found in beef.
Mad cow disease is affecting livestock across Canada and the U.
K.
, causing one of the biggest beef recalls in history.
The outbreak of mad cow disease forced supermarkets across the U.
K.
to dispose of the tainted beef.
Resupplying the market with safe beef from the U.
S.
is causing the demand to skyrocket.
[MEN LAUGHING.]
It is my distinct honor to present these brave Mujahideen warriors - with a check for $44,250.
- [CROWD WHOOPING.]

[SINGERS HARMONIZING.]
It's Showtime tonight [BLAIR.]
Previously, on Black Monday You borrowed money from actual villains who will cripple us.
[MO.]
All you have to do is keep Blair in the dark until he marries that Georgina chick.
- Hi there! - [DAWN.]
I didn't hate your Blair plan; - I hated that you didn't tell me! - How do you guys get it done? I just don't feel like there's enough hours in the day.
- Cocaine.
- Should I try some? [INTENSE MUSIC.]
You know what? Fuck your dad! I would rather fuck my father! I broke up with Tiff! [MELLE MEL'S "WHITE LINES" PLAYS OVER SPEAKERS.]
- - - [VOICES WHOOPING.]
- Fuck.
Yes! Bass Ooh ey Work Ooh, white lines Vision, dreams of passion Blowin' through my mind And all the while, I think of you I'm not getting a real "I made a huge mistake and I'm rushing back to my fiancée" vibe off him.
I mean, it's gonna be tough to do the Georgina play - without the Georgina.
- Nah, it's fine.
You know, it's He's just making cash for the first time.
I mean, you remember the moneymoon period, Dawn.
[MO.]
He'll get sick of this shit.
- [SNORTING.]
- [MO.]
It's like when the nuns caught me smoking.
They locked me in the closet.
They made me smoke a whole carton of cigarettes till I didn't want another fuckin' cigarette - as long as I lived.
- Hmm.
- Ticket to ride - [DAWN.]
Fuck this.
It's been a month, Mo.
We gotta step in.
No, no, no he's gonna get it outta his system.
Don't worry about it.
- [THUMP.]
- [GASPS.]
- Come on, Blair.
- [DAWN.]
Come on.
- [MO.]
Yeah.
Ha.
Hey, hey, kid.
- [DAWN.]
Oh, yeah [DAWN.]
Guys he's gonna be okay? [MO.]
Oh, good.
You gave us quite a scare, Blair! [CHUCKLING.]
Hey, buddy, I'd say being dead for a song and a half kinda qualifies as hittin' rock bottom, don't ya think? [DAWN.]
Hey, maybe we should call Tiff? - [MO.]
Let's call Tiff, buddy.
- [DAWN.]
Let's call her.
Let's call her.
[WHEEZY INHALE.]
Fuck that bitch.
Rang dang diggedy Dang di-dang Okay.
"Fuck that bitch" isn't the best start, but Blair is a puss.
Deep down, he still loves Tiff.
We just have to remind him of that, and he'll take her back.
I'm way ahead of you.
And these are Contestants for the Manhattan Pageant.
Jesus.
Are you still doing that dumb shit? Dawn, it's a venerable Wall Street tradition to auction off the most eligible pit trader.
Look, just because I moved upstairs doesn't mean I forgot where I came from.
It's a very prestigious honor to be asked to emcee this thing, you know.
- You're emceeing? - [LAUGHS.]
Hey, well, when you set the all-time auction record, baby By having a couple of trick hos, as in tricka-mo-niasis? get into a bidding war over you with your money? It's for charity! The Afghani Mujahideen are in the fight for their lives with these Russian bastards.
Fine, fine, fine.
What does this have to do with getting Blair and Tiff back together? It is a honeypot, Dawn.
A honeypot? Hogan's Heroes.
Classic con.
Look, we just have to convince Blair that Tiff is dating a newer, hotter guy.
He's gonna get jealous, and he's gonna want her back.
And there is no hotter guy than Jackson Polack.
Ha.
Yeah, the traders call him that because he's Polish and he splatter-painted half the town.
[SCOFFS.]
Ehh.
I get it.
Face: ten.
Body: ten.
Brains: Polish joke.
Exactly.
Guy'll do anything for a buck.
- [ZIPPER WHINES.]
- Foolproof.
So your plan is foolproof because it worked on a sit-com? Everything works on a sit-com.
There's two different TV shows with little black midgets playing rich white people's kids.
- Come on! - [LAUGHS/HUFFS.]
Can we just please try it my way for once? Let's just talk to the kid about the power of love.
The Huey Lewis song? How's that gonna help? Keith! Yo! What's up, boss? Is so weird calling a chick a boss.
It's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Listen, I need you to take these big payments over to the Yakuza.
Little behind on my loans.
Uh, Do-Mo arigato - Stop it, please.
- Jesus Christ.
You know, actually, I have tics to a show tonight, so maybe I can drop this off tomorrow? Oh, yeah, that's no problem.
I don't mind getting my dick teppanyaki'd by the Yakuza - [DAWN LAUGHING.]
- 'cause you wanna go see Starlight Express for the tenth fucking time.
It's layered, okay? Ha.
The whole show is actually a young boy's dream as he kind of teeters on the cusp of manhood [SIGHS.]
Ah.
Fine.
Is it me, or is he getting weirder? He's definitely getting whiter.
- Thank you, Kyle.
- [BEEP BEEP.]
It's so cool you live in a hotel.
- You're like Eloise.
- [SOFT R&B ON STEREO.]
I don't know who that chick is, but, yeah, it's pretty nice.
You know, it's just temporary, till I get my own place.
- I been lookin' around.
- For the last 15 years.
Do they give you, like, a monthly rate or something? Mm-hmm.
So Blair, how are you? I can't imagine how hard it must be to be apart from the love of your life.
Iiiit's pretty great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
- Yeah? - Tiff's been living with her parents uptown, so I get to do - whatever, whenever.
- [MO LAUGHING.]
Last night, I ordered ethnic food.
- Oh, hard to argue with that! - Oh! [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
But I will, because, Blair, love is dope.
Ah, exactly.
Ethnic food you know, it gets old.
Except falafels.
Now, those fuckers are built to last.
Like true love.
You know? And it doesn't come around often.
Trust us: you don't wanna be the 40-year-old guy in the club that everybody feels bad for.
Well, I-I don't know that they feel bad for the guy so much as they wanna high-five him, you know, for not settling.
You know what I'm talking about, right? No! Blair wouldn't be settling.
I mean, Tiff is his soul mate just like Spencer is my soul mate.
I agree with the Tiff part of that sentence.
I'm just saying that, you know, sometimes it's brave to be alone instead of, you know, settling for the first lame-ass doctor that you lay eyes on that satisfies your parents but not you.
Sexually.
I'm sorry is Tiff the limp dick doctor - in this scenario? - You know what? It is brave to not jump off a roof when your best friend is a robot.
Well, if Short Circuit has taught us anything Blair, everyone needs someone to share life with, someone to share a bottle of wine with at the end of a shitty day and toast to not dying alone in a hotel room.
With a fuck machine in - [MO.]
Jesus Christ.
- [DAWN.]
A coke-induced haze - [DAWN.]
What the fuck? - [BLAIR.]
What the fuck? Yeah.
That the fuck.
I'm sorry that you had to find out like this, kid, all right? I got a friend over at Page Six, the socialite beat.
Is Tiff like out there? Yeah, I'm afraid so, champ.
Word on the street this guy's hung like a hose.
You mean horse.
I do not.
I mean, I know I broke up with her, but I just didn't expect this this soon I [STAMMERS.]
- I gotta go find her.
- Yeah.
'Scuse me.
See ya, buddy.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- [LAUGHING.]
Right? - Mission accomplished.
- No.
Let's go celebrate.
Cedar Tavern.
- What do you say? - I am going home to my husband.
You wanna bag all this up for him? You know, I appreciate a man with hips.
Oh, good.
'Cause he's got those.
Enjoy fucking Kyle.
Jealous! [DOOR OPENS, THUDS SHUT.]
[SOFT R&B CONTINUES.]
- [BEEP BEEP.]
- Y-you can't take that kinda shit to heart, Kyle.
Just let it roll off your back.
[THE CARS' "DRIVE" PLAYS.]
[BEEP BEEP.]
Tiff? - Spence? - In the bedroom, babe.
Hey, bring us a bottle of wine, yeah? ["DRIVE" CONTINUES.]
Who's gonna tell you when It's too late Kyle? I'm home.
Kyle? Who's gonna tell you things Aren't so great? Papa Bear, I've been naughty Hey! I thought we were gonna get busy.
Oh, babe, I'm so full, I can hardly move.
[CHUCKLES.]
You can do stuff to me if you like.
- Who's gonna drive you home - Mm-mm.
Tonight? Who's gonna pick you up [TIFF.]
Would you get me a paper towel? - Dip it in some cold water.
- [JACKSON.]
I'll even - wipe it off of you.
- Ooh! You don't wanna lick it off? And scene.
That felt really good.
You think Body Heat's a weird movie to audition with? [TIFF.]
I just really wanna get into this acting class.
Maybe I'd loosen up if we had sex again.
- Ah.
- Yeah.
Then we can clean up all the laundry that we knocked over - when we had sex in the hall.
- [JACKSON.]
Yes! Ohh [BOTH MOANING.]
To your dreams - [TIFF.]
Rrr! - [JACKSON.]
Rrr! [TIFF.]
Ah ahh! Mo, we've got a problem.
Yeah, you're damn right we do the Yakuza killed Kyle! - [GASPS.]
- Where the fuck is Keith? - I been trying him all night! - He just skipped in singing show tunes.
Look at this shit.
I had it translated.
It's something Kyle would have done.
He loves languages Loved languages.
Oh, fuck me! - They never got their money? - No! - Keith! - Keith! Hey.
You screamed? What happened with the drop? The Yakuza never got their fucking cash! Whaaat? That doesn't make any sen You just save it for the Yakuza that I'm sending to your house to get their money outta the fillings in your children's goddamn teeth! That's pretty dark.
Your Rachel's godfather.
- Go handle it! - On it.
Mo, I'm sorry.
All robocide aside, but we've got bigger issues.
Bigger than me getting my dick chopped off? You're gonna be broke.
[EDGY MUSIC.]
[LAUGHS.]
This fuckin' day! What the fuck did you do? The Yakuza didn't get their money.
I asked you to do one simple thing.
- Whaaa - Oh, don't "whaaat?" me! 'Cause I was just in there "whaaat" ing Mo! Look, this chick Geena I been mackin' on beeped me 69-1-1.

- It's layered, okay? Greaseball represents the twilight of the [TOGETHER.]
Industrial Revolution - before it got - [WAYNE.]
You got the Wayniac.
The Yakuza didn't get their money! - Whaaaat? - [KEITH.]
No.
Nope, Wayne.
- Where the fuck are you? - [WAYNE.]
Home sick.
[SNIFFLES.]
Jeez! Hey, unrelated to that, I just wanted to let you guys know how much fun I've had workin' with you.
You're not just good.
- You're golden.
- Are you dying? Is that the Golden Grahams slogan? [PA.]
This is the final boarding call for flight Wayne are you at LaGuardia? No, man, I told ya, I'm at the movies.
You just said you were home sick.
Tell me you did not take the VIG money that we owe murderers and put it all on the LaGuardia Spread.
[WOODENLY.]
This call has been disconnected.
- [BEEP.]
- Fuck! Fuck! What's the LaGuardia Spread? You! Are there any abnormally huge positions - open on Wayne's account? Go! - What? Wayne's a day scalper.
[KAREN.]
He never trades anything larger than Oh, God! Wayne's long 100,000 contracts of feeder cattle? - [KAREN.]
On margin.
- [KEITH.]
Fuck! What's the LaGuardia Spread? My name's Karen, by the way, - if you guys - [KEITH.]
Shut the fuck up, Karen! [MO.]
Hey, there he is.
- How'd it go, slugger? - Well, it was a night of passion between Tiff and this, like, Polish centaur.
And now she doesn't wanna get back together with me.
How'd she meet someone so fast? You have to help me.
Please? [DAWN.]
Blair, this is totally fixable.
You take her to a super-romantic spot and just I want you to tell her how you feel.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah, like that'll work.
Well, it worked for you.
You took me to the Cedar Tavern, And you poured your heart out that night after work.
Remember? I hate to admit it, but that's what did it for me, your vulnerable side.
I don't remember that.
And I don't have any sides.
I'm all edge.
You don't remember telling me that you were the last guy in your junior high to get pubes - and how it totally defined - Nope.
No, no, nope, nope.
Don't remember that.
Hey, listen, Blair.
You wanna get Tiff back, you know what you need? Good, old-fashioned honey pot.
- [DAWN.]
Ugh, God.
- Like Hogan's Heroes.
Like Hogan's Heroes.
Exactly.
Foolproof.
Except when it makes shit worse.
Well, it worked on you, didn't it? There's no way you would have shown up at Cedar Tavern that night if you hadn't seen me makin' out with that Oreo model.
I think you're supposed to say "mulatto" now.
Yeah.
She was a print model for Oreo Cookies, asshole.
Uh, no, she ate Oreos.
I mean, she was fat.
- Jealous.
- You know what? She had shit to do with it, and fine.
- Honeypot it is.

And I'll be the honey.
Great.
Just as I intended it.
- Great.

Great! So I will get Tiff's boyfriend to bring her to watch him tonight in the Manhattan Pageant, and you two kids can do your thing.
- Great.
- Great.
Wait.
How do you know who he is or that he's in a pageant? Jesus Chris, kid, did you ask this many questions when you watched Hogan's Heroes? Yeah.
It's a sit-com that takes place - in a Nazi concentration camp.
- Mmm.
That's fair.
Remember that guy who could fuckin' pull - the handkerchief through his nostrils? - Yeah.
Bo Melp! What happened with that maniac? Who the fuck knows? Same thing with Sammy Marsh, Len Burger, and Chippy Cox.
When you're down to your last stack and you're all outta moves, there's always one last play if you're crazy enough to try it.
You take a huge position out on the margin I'm talking about a crazy fuckin' long shot you pack a bag, you head to the airport, and you call the floor.
If you're lucky, you come home a hero.
If you're not, you don't come home ever.
You get on a plane, and you fuckin' disappear.
But Wayne has a family.
- Bo Melp had two.

You do? For once in my life, I need to focus on myself.
On Tiff.
For once.
So good-bye, Blair.
Nice to meet you.
That bow makes you look skinny.

- Yeah, your little Hot Pocket.
- [BLAIR.]
Yeah - [MO.]
Hey.
Is this wrong? I mean Tiff's sort of the worst, and Blair's not.
Yeah, well, I can give you 60 million reasons why it's right.

I love you.

I didn't wanna disappoint you, and honestly, sometimes you can be a little bit scary.
I know I can, and I'm sorry.
I'm working on it with my numerologist.
