Good talk, homeboy, good talk.
So, the guy who fell off the cell tower Yeah, the Vic's name is, uh, ray marburger.
Yeah, I wouldn't call him "Vic," Doug.
It means, uh It means "victim.
" I understand what the fuck it means.
Yeah.
He worked for one of p&g's bush-league subcontractors.
And they're trying to prove that the subcontracting model was put in place to avoid liability Right.
Which, of course, it was.
Of course it was.
I'm the one who pitched it, remember? Oh, God, I was kind of "the man" after that p&g consult-- but you probably knew that, right? Yeah, look, we all remember it, Clyde.
That was when your mom sent us that tin of cookies.
: If you could even call them that.
Do not talk about my mom's cookies.
Well, how about I call them "dog biscuits," 'cause that's what they tasted like.
Doug, you know what, my mom worked a 60-hour work week, so I'm sorry if her cookies didn't meet the standards of your fucking dog-biscuit-eating palate.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Was that a bit below the belt? Well, so was hitting on my girlfriend, asshole.
Oh! Doug's balls Well, the love of a good woman will do that to a man.
Am I right, ta-Marty? Huh? Tamara-Marty? It's one of those uninames.
Like kimye or Brangelina.
No.
I thought of that.
Hey, you know, Sara and I have been, uh, looking for a couple to hang out with.
Oh, my God.
Thinking this trip might be a good chance for the two of us to Bond or something.
Just two guys loving love.
Yeah? And here's where Clyde says Shut the fuck up, Doug.
That's what he says.
Nope, can't hear him, can't hear a thing.
Yeah, I heard that.
Yeah.
You did hear that, huh? Yeah, but not that.
Oh, really? I'll give it to you one more time.
Shut the fuck up no, I'm not listening shut the fuck up to you, not listening Here you go.
Cup of Joe.
Oh.
Kind of-- but thank you.
That's fine.
Ugh, yuck.
Do you know, if we lived here, that would count as quality ass? That.
Clyde thinking he's better than everyone else yet again.
Not everybody.
But her, yes.
Why? That woman is not an indication of everyone in Omaha.
Kid, wait one second.
I got to ask you a question.
What do the girls look like in your class? They're all kind of gross.
"They're all kind of gross.
" He got a bad class; Big deal.
Listen to me-- you should move to L.
A.
And, kid, it gets better.
"It gets better"? You know that's a psa for gay teens? A struggle is a struggle.
Doesn't matter what you say Sorry to keep you.
Neil savage, counsel for p&g.
Oh.
Doug guggenheim.
Clyde oberholt.
Would you like a coffee? No, thanks.
I'm fine.
Mr.
kaan is already being deposed.
Yeah.
I'm just here to prep you for tomorrow.
Any questions? Yeah.
Like a million.
Uh, any land mines I need to watch out for? I'm kind of nervous.
Doug, we're not getting water-boarded here-- I don't think you have to worry about land mines.
Oh.
Uh Oh, shoot! It got it on my folder and everything.
Excuse me for a second.
I know.
Goodness! I apologize for my friend.
Well, I'll bring you up to speed.
Uh, the guy's widow has a pretty effective narrative.
Mm-hmm.
Works two jobs, single mom, she's been, uh, sitting in on some of the depositions, and she's been educating herself via the goddamn Internet.
She brought the kid, too.
Smart play.
So, Mr.
oberholt, you came up with the subcontractor business model, right? I did.
That was me.
But to cut costs; I'm not a safety expert.
Well, they're gonna try to put you in the crosshairs on this.
That's crazy-- I didn't force this guy to get a job climbing cell phone towers.
And that's p&g's position.
Good.
These guys are adrenaline junkies trying to get high for minimum wage.
And even with the so-called questionable safety regs, there's no way his wife proves p&g was negligent.
P&g's tracks are covered, thanks to your Is "genius" too big a word? Uh, Neil, okay Brilliant, what you've done.
So, what's going to happen to, um her and the kid? Ah, she hired some high-profile local attorney, but he's in over his head.
Yeah.
She's a single mom, works at a stop and go.
There's a 25-grand insurance payout on the table.
That's more money than she's ever seen.
It's business.
It's business.
How are the kids? Oh, they're great.
They're up north with my mom.
That's nice.
You know, we don't always have to talk about my kids when we're alone.
We don't? Whew! Especially when I know that that's not really what you want to talk about.
You and Marty sleeping together is none of my business.
You're right, it's none of your business.
But that's not what I was talking about.
Oh.
I was talking about him opening up his own shop.
He told you? Because it was Kind of my idea.
So, are you leaving galweather, too? To go with Marty? That's funny, apparently.
No, it's just, you know, I'm-I'm not 14 chasing around some boy I like just because.
Yeah, new firm, I don't know.
High risk, high reward, right? Yeah, well, you know Marty-- he's got nine lives.
I don't know how many I have.
Yo.
Hi.
Look what the cat dragged in.
What's up, little brother? Oh.
Roscoe was looking for those.
Yeah.
His music sounds like shit with those earbuds.
He's really into mixtapes now.
Yep.

Oh, it's really good to see you.
You want to know a secret? Depends.
What if I told you that I know you used to masturbate to me when you were younger.
Marty told me.
Yeah.
You were in heavy rotation.
Yeah.
What if I told you that I used to think about you and touch myself, too? Shit, you should've let a brother know.
I'm all about family ties.
Oh, really? Yeah.

Be reasonable.

Just give me a little bit.
Stop being a child.
I'm a fucking child? Look how you're dressed, you fucking idiot.

I'm not going to sleep anyway.
Fine, that's your prerogative.
Keep the lights on, okay? The depo is at 7:00 A.

Here we go.
Let's nip this in the bud right now.
Yes, I am happy.

This has nothing to do with you and Sarah! What's it about, then? You tell me.

Shut the fuck up.
The duvet? What? The-the deposition? No.
No.
The duvet? The deposition? It's Well, look, I get it.

I'm-I'm kind of a little freaked-out, too.
Oh, you're a little freaked-out? Yes, I am.
Okay, tomorrow, I have to defend myself on something that I put into motion.
That's me.
I did it.
And now we have p&g, which just covers us like a fucking corporate veil.
That's a good thing.
No.
That's what we do.
Yeah, well, it's fucked-up, okay? We don't even think about what happens when we leave.
We don't give a fuck.
I don't give a fuck.
And honestly, most of the time, I'm fine with that.
Corporate downsizing.
People lose their jobs.
That's what fucking happens, and everybody knows that's the way the world works.
I can't stop that.
That's what it is.
Right.
But someone died because I want to make partner before I'm 35.
What? No.
No, that's not Yes.
That's what you That you can't No.
That's a very simplistic way of-of There were other factors you're not thinking about.

You know, uh, when I was sad, my mom used to open up the Doug-hug emporium.
Doug-hug emporium? That's right.

Yeah, I wouldn't call him "Vic," Doug.
It means, uh It means "victim.
" I understand what the fuck it means.
Yeah.
He worked for one of p&g's bush-league subcontractors.
And they're trying to prove that the subcontracting model was put in place to avoid liability Right.
Which, of course, it was.
Of course it was.
I'm the one who pitched it, remember? Oh, God, I was kind of "the man" after that p&g consult-- but you probably knew that, right? Yeah, look, we all remember it, Clyde.
That was when your mom sent us that tin of cookies.
: If you could even call them that.
Do not talk about my mom's cookies.
Well, how about I call them "dog biscuits," 'cause that's what they tasted like.
Doug, you know what, my mom worked a 60-hour work week, so I'm sorry if her cookies didn't meet the standards of your fucking dog-biscuit-eating palate.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Was that a bit below the belt? Well, so was hitting on my girlfriend, asshole.
Oh! Doug's balls Well, the love of a good woman will do that to a man.
Am I right, ta-Marty? Huh? Tamara-Marty? It's one of those uninames.
Like kimye or Brangelina.
No.
I thought of that.
Hey, you know, Sara and I have been, uh, looking for a couple to hang out with.
Oh, my God.
Thinking this trip might be a good chance for the two of us to Bond or something.
Just two guys loving love.
Yeah? And here's where Clyde says Shut the fuck up, Doug.
That's what he says.
Nope, can't hear him, can't hear a thing.
Yeah, I heard that.
Yeah.
You did hear that, huh? Yeah, but not that.
Oh, really? I'll give it to you one more time.
Shut the fuck up no, I'm not listening shut the fuck up to you, not listening Here you go.
Cup of Joe.
Oh.
Kind of-- but thank you.
That's fine.
Ugh, yuck.
Do you know, if we lived here, that would count as quality ass? That.
Clyde thinking he's better than everyone else yet again.
Not everybody.
But her, yes.
Why? That woman is not an indication of everyone in Omaha.
Kid, wait one second.
I got to ask you a question.
What do the girls look like in your class? They're all kind of gross.
"They're all kind of gross.
" He got a bad class; Big deal.
Listen to me-- you should move to L.
A.
And, kid, it gets better.
"It gets better"? You know that's a psa for gay teens? A struggle is a struggle.
Doesn't matter what you say Sorry to keep you.
Neil savage, counsel for p&g.
Oh.
Doug guggenheim.
Clyde oberholt.
Would you like a coffee? No, thanks.
I'm fine.
Mr.
kaan is already being deposed.
Yeah.
I'm just here to prep you for tomorrow.
Any questions? Yeah.
Like a million.
Uh, any land mines I need to watch out for? I'm kind of nervous.
Doug, we're not getting water-boarded here-- I don't think you have to worry about land mines.
Oh.
Uh Oh, shoot! It got it on my folder and everything.
Excuse me for a second.
I know.
Goodness! I apologize for my friend.
Well, I'll bring you up to speed.
Uh, the guy's widow has a pretty effective narrative.
Mm-hmm.
Works two jobs, single mom, she's been, uh, sitting in on some of the depositions, and she's been educating herself via the goddamn Internet.
She brought the kid, too.
Smart play.
So, Mr.
oberholt, you came up with the subcontractor business model, right? I did.
That was me.
But to cut costs; I'm not a safety expert.
Well, they're gonna try to put you in the crosshairs on this.
That's crazy-- I didn't force this guy to get a job climbing cell phone towers.
And that's p&g's position.
Good.
These guys are adrenaline junkies trying to get high for minimum wage.
And even with the so-called questionable safety regs, there's no way his wife proves p&g was negligent.
P&g's tracks are covered, thanks to your Is "genius" too big a word? Uh, Neil, okay Brilliant, what you've done.
So, what's going to happen to, um her and the kid? Ah, she hired some high-profile local attorney, but he's in over his head.
Yeah.
She's a single mom, works at a stop and go.
There's a 25-grand insurance payout on the table.
That's more money than she's ever seen.
It's business.
It's business.
How are the kids? Oh, they're great.
They're up north with my mom.
That's nice.
You know, we don't always have to talk about my kids when we're alone.
We don't? Whew! Especially when I know that that's not really what you want to talk about.
You and Marty sleeping together is none of my business.
You're right, it's none of your business.
But that's not what I was talking about.
Oh.
I was talking about him opening up his own shop.
He told you? Because it was Kind of my idea.
So, are you leaving galweather, too? To go with Marty? That's funny, apparently.
No, it's just, you know, I'm-I'm not 14 chasing around some boy I like just because.
Yeah, new firm, I don't know.
High risk, high reward, right? Yeah, well, you know Marty-- he's got nine lives.
I don't know how many I have.
Yo.
Hi.
Look what the cat dragged in.
What's up, little brother? Oh.
Roscoe was looking for those.
Yeah.
His music sounds like shit with those earbuds.
He's really into mixtapes now.
Yep.

Yeah, I have had a lot of Sushi lately, haven't I? Thank you.
Oh, it's really good to see you.
You want to know a secret? Depends.
What if I told you that I know you used to masturbate to me when you were younger.
Marty told me.
Yeah.
You were in heavy rotation.
Yeah.
What if I told you that I used to think about you and touch myself, too? Shit, you should've let a brother know.
I'm all about family ties.
Oh, really? Yeah.

What is this feeling that you do that makes me so attracted to you? Nope.
No.

Be reasonable.

Just give me a little bit.
Stop being a child.
I'm a fucking child? Look how you're dressed, you fucking idiot.

I'm not going to sleep anyway.
Fine, that's your prerogative.
Keep the lights on, okay? The depo is at 7:00 A.

Here we go.
Let's nip this in the bud right now.
Yes, I am happy.

The duvet? What? The-the deposition? No.

Oh, you're a little freaked-out? Yes, I am.
Okay, tomorrow, I have to defend myself on something that I put into motion.
That's me.
I did it.
And now we have p&g, which just covers us like a fucking corporate veil.
That's a good thing.
No.
That's what we do.
Yeah, well, it's fucked-up, okay? We don't even think about what happens when we leave.
We don't give a fuck.
I don't give a fuck.
And honestly, most of the time, I'm fine with that.
Corporate downsizing.
People lose their jobs.
That's what fucking happens, and everybody knows that's the way the world works.
I can't stop that.
That's what it is.
Right.
But someone died because I want to make partner before I'm 35.
What? No.
No, that's not Yes.

You know, uh, when I was sad, my mom used to open up the Doug-hug emporium.
Doug-hug emporium? That's right.
