House of Lies s02e06 Episode Script

Previously on House of Lies U.
S.
national bank has requested a sit-down with a team headed specifically by you.
Ah.
I mean, I don't have to tell you how valued you are here at galweather.
You are one of our stars.
My God.
I have a 94% match with a shy Sarah.
Doug.
That's your match? When I'm through with the job, I'm staring at a boatload of cash.
And what happens when you leave galweather? If you ever leave? What's that supposed to mean? And you met your husband.
Yes, Kevin.
He's amazing.
He's smart.
I'm a I'm a lucky girl.
To think that your boss tried to talk me out of hiring you.
Um My-my boss what? Enlightened leadership.
Team enhancement.
These are the hallmarks of the apex program.
Now, during our stay here, we are going to be hearing from some of the brightest minds, the most forward thinkers, leaders in the field of cutting-edge corporate innovation.
Simply put, this weekend is a game-changer.
The apex institute.
Galweather stearn's latest attempt at distancing itself from its sordid past.
So we pay these assholes a fuck-ton of our hard-fleeced money so they can sell us the same old antiquated bullshit about team building and leadership skills, repackaged as the future in corporate ingenuity.
It's all part of the "new ethics.
" Spearheaded by this woman.
Julianne hofschraeger.
That wolf in Gucci clothing that tried to Judas me on the U.
S.
national bank consult.
Now, I can either stir up a shit storm of epic proportions over this, or I can just sit back and smile and nod, collect my riches, while she tries to convince us that we've entered into an era of new values based leadership.
Tallyho! It is a new era at galweather stern.
An era of responsible, values based leadership.
A time for us not simply to survive, but to thrive.
As a family.
All right, guess we gotta do this bullshit.

You're a big fucking idiot, Doug.
It's that shallow? Ooh, God, is the heating on? Ugh! Take it, just get it all off.
Yeah, can you? I've got it, yeah.
You know, it's my fault really if you think about it.
I should have just been honest with them, you know? Yeah, they they wouldn't have bullied you into doing it.
Bullied? What? I don't think I was exactly bullied.
Really? So, what, you volunteered? Even though you don't know how to swim? Well, no.
Come on.
It's a little more complicated than that.
Oh, sounds like it.
You're gonna be late for your party.
Our party.
Yeah, I don't think I should go.
No, it's no problem, honestly.
I'm just gonna say you're a new hire.
I don't want to go, Doug! What? Why not? Honestly? Yeah.
Because the people you work with are assholes.
No, they're not.
Yeah, and they don't respect you, yeah.
And I don't wanna be around them.
They listen to me.
They do respect me.
It's a consultant thing.
They kinda have their own way of doing it.
Okay, well, I don't think they were being very respectful when they knocked on our door while we were having sex.
Well, in fairness, they did wait until we were finished, so I'm sorry.
And they weren't respectful of you at your Boat race thing.
I know.
And Clyde certainly wasn't respectful of me when he hit on me.
Clyde hit on you? When I was laying out by the pool.
Were you wearing that, that sexy little pink two-piece? What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Hold on.
That's not what I mean.
You just look so sexy in that thing.
You do.
And, and, listen, I know Clyde, all right? He talks a very big game, but I honestly don't think he would "hit on you" hit on you.
Mm-hmm, okay.
He offered to rub sunblock on my tits.
Well, that's kind of like a handshake for Clyde.
Oh, Doug.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why I do it.
Honestly, you-you act like these people are better than you, and they're not.
You're smarter.
Well, yeah.
Yeah, you're more handsome, okay? You're better than them.
And the fact that you don't see it kinda makes you seem like a putz.
I'm gonna go get ready.
Okay.
And what's gonna happen when the raft breaks? You're gonna start drowning.
Hey, have you guys? Hey, hi.
Hey.
Have you guys seen Marty? Why? Um, 'cause I want to know.
Well, he's not back yet.
Well, fuck him then.
Let's have a party! Let's get some shots.
Let's do one more! Gotta hear it.
Give me one Marty b-school story.
Oh, yeah.
Come on.
More, more, more, more.
He made me a mix tape once.
Marty made you a mix tape? Shut the the fuck up.
Marty kaan? Did you guys remember that song, "I swear"? Are you kidding me.
Yes, or course.
You know what? You know what? I bet he went to the all-4-one's version over the far superior John Michael Montgomery.
Oh, my God, I'm gonna make you a mix cd.
Daddy! Oh, there he is.
Marty! You guys seem to be having a good time.
Tamara was actually just telling us what a sweetheart you were in b-school.
I am putting all your shit out there tonight, honey.
That's fantastic.
Did you use to bring her coffee when she was up sleepy all night studying? Mm-hmm.
How you used to go to poetry slams together.
How you made her an admittedly flawed, but nonetheless thoughtful mix tape.
: You loved Tamara! You loved Tamara! I got a little bit drunk.
Yeah, we could tell.
Yeah, what started all this? I was just saying how much this party reminds me of the ones we had at b-school.
Really? Well, unless there's a keg of natty ice somewhere and Monica's passed out in the corner, I don't think this is anything like b-school days.
Oh, okay, well, maybe I just wanted to reminisce.
And now, I think I want to dance.
Oh, boy.
Marty, do you want to dance? Marty, come dance with me.
Dance, Marty.
No, no, no, not unless I get caught up with you guys first.

Wha? That's he's just kidding around.
Well, thank you, Doug.
Sorry.
Zanna? Why would you have to lose weight to blow me? Doug? What the fuck was that? I would like to know why you don't respect me, Clyde.
I don't know, maybe it's 'cause you're a fucking cockblock? No, no, no, I mean it.
A real answer.
Why don't you respect me? Are you being serious? Yeah.
All right, here it comes, Doug.
This is what you want-- Doug, I respect you.
Then why would you hit on my girlfriend? Is that what this is about? Doug, I'm not trying to steal your fucking girlfriend.
Yeah, because you couldn't steal my girlfriend.
Aw I I can, I can if I wanted to.
You know, Clyde, most people here think that you're just a selfish asshole.
But not me, I've never thought that-- you know what I think? I think that you're a sad, deeply insecure little man, who has to tear people down just to feel better about himself.
I do think that you are a good person, but I feel truly sorry for you.
Yeah.
Is this what you're like when you start getting laid, man? 'Cause honestly I don't like it.
Well, I do.
