Well, actually, our research has shown, overall, that diarrhea is the most preferable side effect

compared to, you know, the depression, suicidal thoughts, or even constipation.

Okay? Alright. Next question.

Oh, God. My boss just said diarrhea on stage. I'm going to have to call you back.

Uh, hello? Yes, my question is, when will this company stop the destruction it's causing,

not just to indigenous communities?

Okay. Okay. Alright.

I have the floor in the Peruvian Highlands to rare local plants, to fungi, to an entire ecosystem.

Can someone get security, please? I'm sorry.

No, we don't need security. Security, please. Look, Benny, we're not doing this.

Hold on. Hold on. Let me finish.

This company, your company, has destroyed fungal colonies that were there three million years.

This is a Banisteriopsis. Does that mean anything to you?

Security, please.

It's been here since before insects.

Hey, don't touch me. Do not touch me.

Don't touch the plant.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm sorry, everybody.

I'm exercising my rights.

My name is Marshall Cuso. I am a shareholder...

Oh, my God. Marshall?

Hey, excuse me.

If I disappear, investigate Reutical Pharmaceuticals.

If they attempt to harm me, they have harmed me in the past.

He'd be living with his mom.

Hey, easy. No need for that.

Oh, man.

Marshall? I thought that was you. Francis! It's Francis, from high school.

Oh, yeah. Hey, Francis!

You're alive! I heard that you died in a plane crash, or I...

No, no, that was misreported. I survived, obviously.

Oh, good. Wow.

Yeah. What are you... do you work around here?

Oh, I work for the CEO of this... company. It's urban planning.

Yeah, you have a plant.

Yeah, it could use some shade.

And I knew as I was doing it, it wasn't right.

Oh no!

Yeah, I maybe didn't peak in high school.

Oh yeah, well hey, I mean, I didn't either, right? I was such an idiot.

Then all of a sudden the world got very, very real.

I mean, I got all this student debt, and then my mom got dementia.

Oh, Frances, I'm sorry.

Sonia.

Yeah.

I remember your mother.

Oh yeah, well, she doesn't remember you or anything.

Okay, Francis, can I tell you a secret?

Uh, yeah, please.

Okay, just go with me for a minute.

What if there were a medicine that could heal, like, almost anything?

Well, yeah, that would be great, sure.

Yeah, right, but what if they didn't want you to know about it?

They? Sorry, who's they?

They is Big Pharma, it's the insurance companies, the government.

Think about all the people who make tons of money just from keeping us sick by keeping us unwell.

Yeah, that would be sick.

Yeah, it's a sick world.

What the fuck?

But there's a cure.

What the fuck?

Guy's name is Marshall Cuso.

He's the one playing with the pigeon?

Nah, don't let that fool you. He's a dangerous man.

Got a monopoly on some kind of new drug. Something very powerful.

It's plant based. Maybe a mushroom or a seed. It could be hallucinogenic, addictive, fatal.

They want it nipped in the bud.

They?

Okay, yeah.

Okay, so who do we got?

Right.

I have one free team, Capano and Harrington.

Great.

Are they any good?

Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake your body line.

Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake it all the time.

Work, work, work, Senora, work your body line.

Work, work, work, Sonora. Work it all the time.

My girl's name is Sonora. I tell you, friends, I adore her.

And when she dances, oh, brother, she's a hurricane in all kinds of weather.

Jump in the line. Rock your body on time.

Yeah, Capano. Yeah, Capano and Harrington. Yeah, yeah. They're good. They're good.

Capano and Harrington are good.

A mushroom.

Not just any mushroom. The caviar, the ghost orchid of mushrooms. I mean, the

chances of this growing naturally? Francis, it's like a one in a billion

Goldilocks situation. A special valley, isolated by mountains. The fog lasts just

long enough. The humidity is just right. The limestone in the soil is perfect to

produce a rare, specific kind of grass. And in this grass grows a very, very

intense mushroom and I found it. Kinda had some trouble getting out of there.

I also ended up with a pet tortoise.

Flat white for Gegary!

Gegary!

That has to be Gregory, right?

Anyway, I'm almost out of mushrooms.

Hey, what's up? For Gegary? Thanks.

So that really was his name, Gegary.

Marshall!

Right, sorry. I'm almost out of mushrooms.

And this valley is so special, but it's being destroyed as we speak.

This company Reutical Pharmaceuticals, evil people. They have a waste dump site just upstream.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, I've heard of those guys.

Their CEO is this, like, evil. I mean, he's not even smart enough to be evil.

Rick Krueger? He's just a functionary of demonic forces. He's like the devil's idiot butler.

Oh.

Then I started to understand. No one's listening because they didn't want to hear it.

I mean, Frances, look around.

Does this look healthy to you?

I mean, people are so lost and confused and upset,

and we spend more money than ever on healthcare,

and everyone's still sick.

The whole system is sick.

And this?

It's too powerful.

It would put everyone who profits off selling drugs

and keeping us sick out of business.

I'm so, I'm so sorry.

I just...

No, no, go, please, take it.

I should probably calm myself down anyway.

No, I just ran into somebody. I can be like 10 minutes or less.

Uh, yep. Yeah. Okay. Uh, see you soon.

Kapano, is Celery Carrot's cousin or a sibling? You don't have to answer right away.

Huh. Yeah. Okay, Agent Harrington, I think I finally figured it out.

Okay, I'll pretend I'm not listening.

Start here.

Dallas. Dealey Plaza, where Oswald shoots JFK.

Allegedly.

Now, Austin. You know the tower? Charles Whitman? He was messed up.

Next, Oklahoma City. What happened there?

The bombing?

Exactly. Timothy McVeigh. He was obsessed with what? With Waco.

Do you think my haircut makes me look like Timothy McVeigh?

Maybe not now that it's grown out.

No, I think it looks good.

But that's not all.

Colleen, first real mass shooting event in America.

Guy shot 27 people in a Luby's cafeteria.

How do you know all this?

Look at this, man. Shooter corridor right through here.

I'm thinking they're gonna send us up here or down here to stop the next one.

Look what I made. You see? That's smart. Finally some-

Cabano. Harrington. Follow me.

Are we going somewhere on the map?

Map? No, no, that had to do with the kids.

There were kids coming in. We were showing them the different-

Forget the map. Let's go.

But thanks to a Naplin, stains on my pants, they aren't one of my worries.

But thanks to a Naplin, stains on my pants, they aren't one of my worries

So, uh...

So, that's the take?

That's the one we're going to use?

Is Frances here?

Yeah, uh-huh.

Frances, do you like this?

Uh, for what it is, yes.

From a marketing perspective, maybe a bigger conversation?

Ugh, marketing. A lot of those types are going to have to get fired.

You know what, guys? Take a couple frames off the top.

Also, is the logo the old version?

Can we adjust it just so we have it?

Um, okay.

There you go, Francis.

Boy, you really know how to sell medicine

for geriatric incontinence and urine leakage, don't you?

Ha ha ha.

Just need your okay on the legal disclaimer.

Dry mouth, constipation, nausea,

stomach upset, stomach pain, blurred vision,

dry eyes, skin irritation, loose bowel movements,

disturbed sleep...

Does that... We have to say all that?

All the language came from legal, so...

Ugh, okay, well, how fast can you play that?

Here's 1.8.

Dry mouth, constipation, nausea, stomach upset, stomach pain, weird vision, dry eyes.

That's too fast. Sounds like an elf.

Try one unit less.

Do you want the part about the ice chips?

Jesus, ice chips? What?

To relieve dry mouth, suck ice chips, chew sugarless gum, drink water, or use a saliva substitute.

No, no, they're on their own for dry mouth.

We don't need some lady choking on an ice chip and suing us.

Okay, we're good. We're good. You guys good?

We're good. Frances?

Okay, so your dinner reservation. I printed it. I know you like physical paper.

It is on your desk and tomorrow's crossword is also in there. I got it early.

Just had a conversation with the board.

Ugh, Jonas Backstein. God, you don't want him not happy.

Those guys scare the shit out of me, to be honest.

Ugh.

God.

You know I haven't seen my wife in three weeks.

Weird part is, she hasn't complained.

So, shake-ups are coming. I'm not sure if we're going to survive.

If I'm going down, you're going down.

Rick, what would happen if I brought this company like a new product?

A new product? You mean like a drug?

Yes, kind of. I don't know. Still exploring. Just kind of hypothetical.

Well, if somebody brought something we can bring to market, I'd make that person very wealthy.

Oh, um, okay. Let me explore.

Well, hurry up, Magellan. Get me something by the end of Q3, and you can have my beach house.

Hey, this is Marshal Kuso. Please leave a message.

Hi, um, Marshal, sorry I missed you.

I'm not sure what happened, but it was so nice catching up with you.

Would you want to, I don't know, meet up again?

Maybe in the city, or I could come to you, or...

It'd just be really nice to see you again.

Okay.

Oh, it's Francis?

Bye.

Hey, Mr. Socrates.

I'm back from the city.

You'd hate it.

Oh, listen to this.

Hi. Um, Marshall, sorry I missed you.

Francis Applewhite. I haven't seen her since high school.

Can you believe that?

Doesn't she sound nice?

I don't know. Meet up again?

Oh, let me get you some food.

Okay, yeah, this hits.

What's this?

Italo disco.

One of my favorite genres.

Although, many of the top producers were, in fact, German.

Yeah.

Hmm. I thought they only made sausages and chocolates and shit.

Whatever. It's working.

Hmm.

Hey, let me ask you something.

This guy owns all the way back to that highway?

Yeah, like 2,000-something acres.

And that's from drug money?

He's done some wild stuff.

I did a dive on the guy.

Apparently at some point he analyzed barcodes in the New Hampshire lottery, figured out

which ones were winners, and won $11 million.

He was investigated, but apparently it was totally legal.

Did you not read the file?

Oh, I read the file.

He's an expert on quasi-node extraction.

He has three birds named after him in New Guinea.

He won the Halstrom Prize.

Uh, correction, he was runner-up for the Halstrom Prize.

See, that's why we're partners. I knew he was runner-up.

I was testing you. You passed.

Does this seem like an everyday drug dealer to you?

Job's a job. Warren's good.

Let's do this.

Hey, brainstorm with me for one sec.

If you wanted to, like, delete any trace of where you worked

It's like online, Facebook, LinkedIn.

Do you think that you could do that?

Uh-oh, who are you hiding from?

I just want to be more private.

So, okay, so I've been reading this interview

with a psychologist who thinks that sex

should be more like a form of play.

Yes, sorry, what were you saying?

Baby, just try looking into my eyes for like 30 seconds.

It's really good for like our chakra,

soul, sexual connection stuff.

Sorry, Nick. It's just there's like a work situation. I...

Hello?

Frances?

Yeah, yes, hi. Oh, where are you?

Um, actually, I'm in your neighborhood right now.

Really?

I know it's weird, but listen, can we meet up?

It's kind of urgent.

And just two things to mention. Some people are following me and I brought

my tortoise.
