Selenite
1 [AMARA.]
Previously on Get Shorty Max Kisbye would be perfect for this lead.
[MAN.]
He's, um, relapsed.
[KISBYE.]
I would be forced; to correct you, sir! As of today, we have 30 days to pay our supplier.
[ED.]
His name is Moises; He's with LA.
You did good.
You're Mormon, so no sex before marriage.
So, my idea, we get married, and pretend it never happened.
This is the divorce papers? This was the safest arrangement.
You're gonna take her away from me.
I've actually been reading this book.
It's about getting lost and finding your way out.
It's called Wylderness.
Are you saying I'm lost? What you pulled off right there, that's a Christmas miracle.
- Yeah? - You took a one, and you turned it into a solid five.
Out of fucking 10? - We can sell it? - Are you kidding? But it's not good.
You know what I'm excited about? Our film.
You're off the movie.

I need you to find me Max Kisbye's manager.
What's wrong? I got an e-mail saying that Kisbye isn't coming to the premiere.

Yeah, really got some clarity on things.
Think I found the next project I'm gonna do.
That's great! Also, our situation - Yeah? - Yeah.
I realized that I don't like having to schedule time with my own daughter, and I hate that you're the one making the schedule, so I'm gonna agree to this divorce, but I'm not gonna give you custody.
Miles Don't do this.
I have been apologizing to you since the day we met, haven't I? For work, for every little thing.
But that's done.

Hope it doesn't come to that.
Give Emma my love.

Previously on Get Shorty Max Kisbye would be perfect for this lead.

He's, um, relapsed.
[KISBYE.]
I would be forced; to correct you, sir! As of today, we have 30 days to pay our supplier.
[ED.]
His name is Moises; He's with LA.
You did good.
You're Mormon, so no sex before marriage.
So, my idea, we get married, and pretend it never happened.
This is the divorce papers? This was the safest arrangement.
You're gonna take her away from me.
I've actually been reading this book.
It's about getting lost and finding your way out.
It's called Wylderness.
Are you saying I'm lost? What you pulled off right there, that's a Christmas miracle.
- Yeah? - You took a one, and you turned it into a solid five.
Out of fucking 10? - We can sell it? - Are you kidding? But it's not good.
