House of Lies s02e04 Episode Script

Previously, on House of Lies Hi.
Hi! Hi.
You know, you got your cute little vegan chef.
Come on, this isn't you, Monica.
Me? My name is Julianne Hofschraeger, and I am the interim CEO.
You think your house is a better place for me to be, but you keep not showing up for me, Dad.
Not-not showing up? What am I supposed to do? Are we not sitting here right now? A lot of weird stuff happened that night.
I blacked out, so Did we? I don't remember, either.
Fucking animals.
You don't want to run to him? You don't want to give a quick run? Okay, Roscoe, it'll be great.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa.
Marty, Marty.
Yeah.
I'll see you later, buddy.
All right, bye-bye.
Look, Marty.
He's coming and we're nowhere.
Doug, will you just take a breath? Okay? Clear out a conference room and start chunking out some shit.
We'll call it a work session.
Listen to yourself.
Clean out-- We don't have a clean conference room? This is the worst day of my life.
Douglas, shut the fuck up, okay? It's Matt Damon.
He's used to living in a yurt with uncircumcised refugees.
I'm sure a couple pieces of paper are fine.
I just I want it to be perfect.
You know? I-I Why didn't he give us some more notice? I could've made some sexy regression models, could've gotten permission from Admin to get that deluxe bagel and lox spread we sometimes get; he would've loved that.
Shit.
This just occurred to me.
We could've gotten treats from Sweet Lady Jane.
"Treats.
" Could've been special.
Now it's not, it's ruined.
The whole thing's ruined.
Probably just wants to hire us to pimp out his new charity, right? Chances are, he's meeting with every consultancy in town.
So this is what we're gonna do.
And tell me if I am correct.
We're gonna let him do the talking.
That's correct.
Then we're gonna flatter the fuck out of him.
Also correct.
Because he is an actor.
He just wants to be loved.
That's the most correct.
Mm.
No.
All right? You know why? Because he's not like that.
He's unique.
Om Nom, you little bitch.
Wow, you really are a go-getter.
I am.
Aren't I? Yeah.
You okay? I'm good, I guess.
Well, you look good, there's that.
Thank you, Marty.
Hey, you haven't, um had any more flashbacks, or Oh.
memories? Nope.
The well is dry.
Whew.
Good.
Yeah.
No, it is, it's good.
Yeah.
I mean, me, too.
Not-not a one.
Nothing.
Okay.
Well, look, uh we got about 20 minutes before Damon shows up, so let's get it together.
Who? Matt Damon.
Ma what are you talking about? You haven't heard about this? No.
His business manager's a friend of Julianne's.
He's on his way over here.
Wha? Wants to explore looking into starting a foundation, probably he wants a brain dump, He's probably meeting all over town.
Okay.
You okay? Yeah.
You need to stop by the salon? No, I'm good.
Three, two, one.
Oh, shit.
Doug the Gugg is at a loss.
Doug the Gugg is at a loss.
And that does not happen, it I mean, you can't do a statistical model.
You can't do it, it's not possible.
in half an hour, it's not possible.
One can't! One cannot! He's gonna explode.
There are too many variables.
What kind of, uh, charity does he even want to start? Did he ever say? Nope, not to me.
Is it a-- what are you doing?-- a grant model? An awareness model? Or is it, like, uh, designed for longevity, or a single iteration with a defined endgame scenario? Oh, what theGoddamn it! Hey, Doug, you forgot to actually shit yourself.
Marty.
Hey, buddy.
Ooh, hey.
So, um I know that I don't need to tell you how much it would mean if you could bring Mr.
Mattie D onto the Galweather team.
Yeah.
Oh! I don't know, seems like kind of a brain drain.
I mean, look, an actor and his cause? I don't see a lot of possibilities for monetization in that.
Oh, yeah.
True enough.
Yeah.
True enough.
But it would be major Wall Street Journal porn.
Wow.
Great publicity.
That's your porn face? Hot.
Ah! Wow.
Shake that off.
e-mail you all the information about the solar panels.
I mean, you'd be amazed.
I mean, unless I'm just an idiot, which is totally possible.
No.
Oh, my God, I'm sure you're not.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
It's not a big deal.

Right.
Right? Uh, well, you guys know why I'm here, right? Yeah.
I, uh, do a lot of philanthropic work and was looking at starting something new and, uh, given your, uh, your reputation and your your ability to identify symbiotic partnerships, I just kind of figured if we kind of got together, maybe we could just turbo-charge this whole thing, and we could really do a lot of good.
I think that's really wonderful.
No, it's nothing, really.
It's like look, if I can't take this little bit of, you know you know, whatever, stardust, and-and, uh, and make something real out of it, then I mean, what the hell am I doing? - Yeah.
Absolutely.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
But anyway, sorry to ambush you guys, but I but I did want to know where you are, and what you're thinking.
Uh, Doug, you want to take it? I don't need much notice, uh, Mr.
Damon.
Believe me, you're dealing with one of the masters of the, uh well, art form really, if you think about it, in statistical modeling.
Cool.
Yeah.
Nothing I can't handle.
So why don't you do something? Right! Okay.
Yeah.
Nothing to it, it's easy.

Uh Listen, about tonight, I Yeah, I was hoping you could take maybe me and Dylan to the batting cages? The batting cages? You and Dylan-- who's Dylan? He's my homeboy, kind of.
He's epically badass.
And he's really into the batting cages, so I kind of promised him you'd take us.
Uh, Jeannie? She's pretty cool, yeah? Totally.
Yeah.
You know, she's crazy about baseball.
I don't know if you knew that.
You know, I just had a thought.
What if Jeannie took you and Dylan to the batting cages? Shut up.
I'm just saying, what if? Yeah.
You want me to try to hook that up? Yeah.
Okay, cool.
I boned your mentor, but, I mean, you're demoting me to babysitter? I'm not demoting you to shit.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, princess, two grand.

It has to do with the fact that we need to close the business.
Okay? I love that you have so much integrity.
Yeah.
You're a team player.
Yeah, I am.
Thank you, Jeannie.
You're welcome.
Cash? Don't push it.

What do you want me to be? You want me to be your humorless lesbian wife? I just want to take a little nap.
Just a really short nap.
Okay? A couple minutes or something.
Is Monica sleepy? Monica's trying to be sleepy but, um Monica's getting less sleepy.
How about "hot hookup" instead of "humorless wife"? I think I could go for that.
Yeah? Yes.
Dylan's our star pitcher and he also plays shortstop.
Wait till you see, Jeannie.
He's, like, amazing at baseball.
Come on, guys.
So what are your turn-ons and turn-offs? Excuse me? Turn-ons: long walks on the beach, crunk hip-hop beats, The Great Gatsby.
Turn-offs: back hair, mullets, running out of margarita mix.
Did you memorize that? Miss July.
Mm.
In case I ever run into her.
Yeah, uh I liked The Great Gatsby.
Are we gonna bat or what? My lady.
Check it out, Dylan.
I made contact.

Baseball's not really my thing.
No? But Dylan really liked you, huh? I guess.
Think he thought I was cool, too? Having been around a decent number of guys, I can tell you with confidence that your friend Dylan is a douche bag.
And you, you're, like, the best.

Not cool.
Oh, come on, Marty.
Fuck you.
Is little Marty jealous of little Matty? Come on, let's be honest.
You know what, I'm gonna tell you.
You are the most arrogant hypocritical bullshit artist I've ever encountered, okay? And I deal in wholesale quantities of bullshit on a daily basis.
Your pile of-of-of-of qu-quivering need and insecurity is only slightly outpaced by your in-fucking-sanely over-bloated ego.
It's unbelievable.
Hey, I'm sorry.
Spaced out for a second.
What did you say? Bye, Matt.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, you guys are leaving? Yeah.

Marty, where's, um, where's Matt uh, where's Matt Damon? Did you offend him in some way? Ha.

You got to tread lightly.
Very sensitive.
