Hey, Kim, do you mind if we grab a cup
of coffee?

What happened to the coffee maker we
bought you as a housewarming gift?

Oh, actually, Kim, you didn't buy us the
coffee maker. You bought us the coffee

pot. You are the coffee maker.

Hey, Greg, what do you think about the
big rumor?

The rumor that you moved next door? So
far, there's been no evidence to back

that up.

No, it worked. There's a rumor that the
studio is going to be taken over.

Greg, is it true?

Of course not. If the studio was being
taken over, I'd have heard about it.

Savitsky tells me everything.

Which is great, except when he comes
back from Vegas, some things need to be

kept between a man and his massage
therapist.

Makes you think, though. I mean, if
there was a takeover, they might make

changes. Yeah, you know, with new
management, maybe the guards could get

more leverage. We could finally get that
voice -activated gate lifter we've been

lobbying for.

Really, Jimmy?

It's too much to push a button?

Carpal tunnel is no joke, Christine.

I want to be able to play with my
grandkids when this job is over.

Stop slinking around out there. You'd be
the world's worst ninja.

You're like Crouching Tiger, Annoying
Dragon.

Sorry, sir. I just have a question.

I don't want to sound paranoid or
anything, but I've been hearing some

going around, and, well, do you know
anything about there being a takeover

at the studio?

A takeover?

Who told you that?

Well, it's just been going around
amongst some lower -level people. Is it

No, no, no. Please.

Nothing is changing around here. Nothing
at all.

Great. That makes me feel a whole lot
better. I was beginning to think that I

was out of the loop, you know.

Never, Warner. Nothing happens around
here behind your back.

Well, thank you, sir. Sorry I wasted
your time.

Where's the chair?

What chair?

I'm sure I was just sitting down here.

Yes, but I believe it was Indian style.

What the hell is going on around here?

All right, there's going to be a change.

The board has brought in some guy named
Paul Mercer to be in charge.

They're moving me down the hall and
giving me another title. Well, why

you tell me any of this?

I couldn't tell anybody. If I did and
their stock traded, I could go to jail.

And in jail, getting points in the back
end means something totally different.

Stuart?

Greg?

I guess with a new boss coming in, we
won't have to compete over who's going

be Stavitsky's right -hand man.

Well, I never thought of it as a
competition story.

It was always me.

That's interesting, because just the
other day, he told me I reminded him of

of his sons. Oh, really? Which son?

The one that stole his rare coin
collection to support his OxyContin

the transsexual bulimic that he tries to
keep hidden away in Amsterdam?

Gentlemen.

Hello, sir.

You can ask Savitsky. I'll take the new
guy. What do you know about him?

Well, just that he worked at Disney.

Mr. Mercer.

Stuart Nichol, it is an honor to meet
you.

I really respect what you did over at
Disney.

Really? I never worked at Disney.

Hello, sir. Greg Warner, Vice President
of Business Affairs.

When Mr. Savitsky used to run the
studio, I was his right -hand man. Of

I've heard a lot about you.

And this is Mike Worley.

He is my right -hand man.

Nice to meet you.

Oh.

So you already have a right -hand man?

Yes, he does.

And you're in my seat, Junior.

Mercer?

Savitsky, I hope this little change in
power isn't awkward for you.

Please. I've been around long enough to
know that these things happen.

The important thing in this business is
to roll with the changes.

What's wrong with this coffee?

We switched to tea.

Son of a bitch.

Cheerio. Obviously, when there is a new
boss, there are going to be some

changes.

And this morning, Mike, he boosted the
morale of some of our lower -level

employees by giving them meaningless
bumps in title.

For example, our janitors are now...
Cleaning associates.

That's very nice.

Thank you.

My idea.

Somebody call security?

Ah, yes. Thank you.

Please, stand by the door, officer.

Sergeant.

Sergeant Hughes, you made us sergeants,
remember?

You made us all sergeants.

Paul, I don't think you need to have
security guards at our meeting.

This place is pretty safe. In fact, we
haven't had a real incident since the

time Anne Heche broke into Stage 18 and
tried to drive the Starship Enterprise.

That's true. I mean, the only time you
call security is if we're locked out of

our office. Or, you know, we need
someone to escort it off the lot because

were fired.

Please tell me you're locked out of your
office.

Listen.

This isn't easy for me.

But since I have Mike here and he serves
the same function as Greg and Stuart,

well, somebody has to leave.

Well, I know the metric system, sir. I
mean, you know, just in case we're

switching.

Metric is a skill I have.

Some might say I have it by the kilo.

You can relax, Greg. Due to your
exemplary record, I'm keeping you.

Unfortunately, Stuart, I'm letting you
go.

George, don't look at me. I'm sucking on
Earl Grey down here.

Unfortunately, that's not all.

George, I'm letting you go, too.

What? I'm sorry. I would have told you
sooner. But you know what these studio

lawyers are like.

You can't just fire me.

I've been working my ass off this studio
for over 12 years.

It's been my life.

Because of this place, I've lost three
wives, a full head of hair, and a liver.

What do you want me to say, George?

It's just business.

Yeah, well, this is just business, too.

Warner, you're coming with me.

What's that?

You're coming with me.

What? Where?

Anywhere we want.

Ever since the rumor this takeover
started to leak out last week, I've been

flooded with offers to run other
studios.

I groomed this kid, and I'm taking him
with me. Oh, so take him.

Mike and I flipped a coin between Greg
and Stuart anyway.

What?

Officer.

Sergeant.

Sergeant.

Get Stuart back here. Right away, sir.
I'll check the break room. There's a

chance he's peeing in the coffee pot.

Wait a second. You flipped a coin? I
thought you kept me because of my

record. Yeah. Heads one, tails nothing.

That's how you're going to make major
decisions around here? Quite frankly, I

didn't think it was that big of a
decision.

Thank you.

You know what? You can keep him. I don't
want to work for some jerk who's going

to decide my fate by the flip of a coin.
And I'm certainly not going to work for

someone stupid enough to fire a legend
in this business like Mr. George

Savitsky. You tell him, Warner.

I got a lot of good days left in this
town, and you better believe there will

no greater one than the day where I get
to watch you fail. And fail you will.

George Savitsky will always be on top in
this business, and I will be right

there standing beside him.

Mr. Savitsky?

Come on in, Warner.

Are you okay?

I'm okay. They say it was just an
anxiety attack.

And you feel they've been thorough?

Oh, are you kidding? I've been prodded
and probed and fondled so much, I feel

like I should go to confession.

That makes me feel better. This morning
I thought you were a goner. I'm fine.

And thanks for your loyalty.

It took a lot of guts to say what you
said in that boardroom this morning.

I was just following your lead, sir.

So... What's next for us? You want to go
over to Paramount? You want to start a

bidding war with Fox? You want to get
some investors, start our own studio?

I'm quitting show business and devoting
myself to charity work.

Excuse me?

Look, Warner, this anxiety attack was a
real wake -up call.

This business was slowly killing me. I
need to make a change in my life while I

still can.

But, sir, I left my job for you. I
thought we were going to be partners.

Well, we still are. Come with me. We can
work in a homeless shelter.

You know, we've done well. It's time to
start giving back. Give back, but I'm

not done taking.

Well, you do what you want, but I'm out.

Good luck, Warner.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, and by the way, do me a favor.

Don't tell anyone about my plans for
leaving show business.

Why, are you having second thoughts?

No, I'm having a two o 'clock sponge
bath from a nurse who wants to be an

actress.

Okay, kids, go wash up. It's time for
school.

So, uh, you want to come by work today
and have lunch with me?

I thought you had to go with Logan on a
field trip today.

Oh, no, no, no.

Logan's not allowed on any more field
trips.

Last month at the firehouse, he kept
laughing every time they said flame

retardant.

Good morning.

You know you're dressed for work and you
don't have a job, right?

I had a professor in business school
that said even when you're out of work,

have a job, and that job is to go out
and find work.

And you have to wear a suit for that?

Wow, your imaginary boss for your
imaginary job is a real imaginary

He also said dress like a loser and
you'll be a loser.

One day I don't wear a suit, the next
day I'll be wearing jeans, the next day

I'll be in a pair of sweatpants sitting
on the sofa watching Oprah eating

Captain Crunch out of a box.

Man, I remember those days.

Me, Opa, and Captain Crunch are the
closest I've ever come to a threesome.

Well, sounds like your professor gave
some really good advice.

So what are you going to do today? Call
a headhunter?

I've already done it. There's nothing
out there.

Are you going to go meet your contacts
from some of the other studios?

Nope. Don't have any.

You'd think somebody who'd worked in
town for as long as you would have made

some contacts.

Yeah, you'd think that, wouldn't you?

So, what are you going to do?

I don't know, Kim.

The professor said put on a suit. He
didn't give me a lecture about what you

should do when you throw your whole
career down the crapper.

Come on. You'll get another job. Not
like that one. I don't know what I was

thinking. It was the perfect job.

Well, so go get it back.

Oh, yeah. After what I said to Mercer in
the boardroom the other day, there's no

way. There's always a way. Greg, do you
know how many jobs I've had to go back

and beg for after I've been fired for
doing stupid things?

It's true.

Yeah. You're looking at the guy who
thought he could save space at the pet

by putting the bunnies in with the
snake.

But I apologized, and they took me back.

And the next week, when I put the snakes
in with the mongoose, I apologized

again.

Why shouldn't they take you back?

Who's found more ways to save the studio
money than you?

Nobody. Right. And at the end of the
day, it's a business.

Greg, I'm telling you, if you go in
there, you apologize for what you said,

you remind them of how talented you are,
there's no way they don't take you

back. You really think so? I know so.
You just gotta march in there, and you

gotta refuse to take no for an answer.

I'm sorry, but you can't come on the
lot. You're just going to have to take

for an answer.

Well, you're the one that told me to
come down here.

No, no, no. Your friend Jimmy told you
to come down here.

I'm Sergeant Hughes.

Sergeant Hughes was told by his
supervisors, who were watching from that

right over there, that you are now
considered a Code 45 and you are no

allowed on the lot.

Well, then that's it. I give up. I guess
I'll just go home.

No. Dude, you can't quit now.

But you just told me I can't get on the
lot.

No. Sergeant Hughes told you you can't
get on the lot.

When I turn away from the camera and I
talk like this, I'm Jimmy.

When I talk like this, I'm Sergeant
Hughes.

What are you talking about?

Well, that depends on who you're asking.

I'm telling you to go home.

I'm telling you to find another way in.

This is pointless.

I hope you're happy you wasted half my
day.

Oh, cry me a river. It's not my job to
help jerks like you.

Good luck, buddy. I'm rooting for you.

Hey, Kim, how you doing?

Great. Christine's waiting for you. Hey,
did Greg stop by?

Yeah, he didn't talk to you?

No.

Oh. All right, well, listen.

If you see him, you've got to give him a
message from me.

You've got to tell him there's loose
dirt under the west wall if he wants to

a tunnel.

Oh, and tell them I said it like this.

Of course, I'm terribly sorry, but...
Oh, no, please will you tell Tom Cruise

that in the UK that is what we call a
cigarette?

Code 45.

Warner, how are you?

Very good, sir. I just stopped by to
talk to you. Did you just say code 45?

Excuse me?

I just thought I heard you say code 45,
which is the security code for there's a

crazy man on the lot.

Oh, what do you mean? Like right now on
the telephone?

No, no, no. I said Colt 45. You see, we
just relit a movie on the rap industry,

and what better way to keep it real than
with some malt liquor?

You're just stalling until security
comes to get me, aren't you?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Come with me. What? Hands behind your
back.

Hey, could you pretend I'm cuffing you?
I forgot my handcuffs on my bedpost.

Sir, I know you were just covering, but
a movie about the rap industry is a

fantastic idea.

I mean, if you need someone to spearhead
the project, I'm very tapped into that

world.

Really? Yeah, I mean, in fact, rappers
aren't drinking malt liquor these days.

They're drinking Cristal.

I don't know where you're getting your
research from, but last night on MTV

Cribs, P. Diddy was drinking hypnotic.

Really? Well, thank you, Mike. For
shizzle me nizzle.

Good morning.

Greg, your pants don't match your
jacket.

You're wearing two different suits.

So what? I'll just take off the jacket.

I'm just pretending my imaginary job
that it's Casual Friday.

Listen, I hope you're not going to try
to sneak on the lot today.

I got your picture posted at every gate.

Don't worry, I gave him a really nice
candid shot from your wedding.

I didn't want to cut the picture, so you
might want to let your Uncle Rob know

that he can't come on the lot either.

This is serious. You need to perk up
here.

You have to get a job.

Let's face it. We've grown accustomed to
a certain lifestyle, and it's your

function to maintain that lifestyle.

It's not my only function.

It kind of is.

You don't cook. You don't clean.

You can't fix anything.

Well, I'd like to at least think there's
one other function that I'm pretty good

at.

You know, upstairs.

Enjoy.

Be sure to stick around afterwards for
the entertainment.

I'm going to read a few chapters from
Charlotte's Web.

Okay, now listen, just focus.

If you can light his competitive fire
for Hollywood, you're back in business.

Okay, got it. Hey, check it out.

This is our squeegee guy from our
offering. I better go say hi.

How you doing, Mr. Savitsky?

Warner! Good God, did you blow through
your entire savings in four days?

Come here, I'll give you some peas.

Oh, not these.

I'll get you the good ones that the
volunteers eat in the back. No, listen.

To tell you the truth, I've been
thinking about what you said about

and I came down to help out.

Well, that's fantastic!

Well, tell you what, why don't you grab
some of that Salisbury steak and put it

in the blender?

Not everybody down here has the chompers
for tough, cheap meat.

I gotta ask you, with all the off -ramps
in the city, why do you work at ours?

You know, it's demographics.

The poor got no cash, the rich got no
compassion.

I like your neighborhood.

Just enough money and just enough guilt.

Plus, there's a big bush where I can go
pee at.

Well, I guess you haven't been reading
the trades, have you? Nope, not a peep.

Well, it's just as well. They just keep
talking about this Paul Mercer and all

the big projects he's got going.

Now he's doing this thriller where a
tornado hits during an earthquake, and

you think it can't get any worse, it
starts to hail.

That was my project.

That was going to be my Armageddon.

Well, not anymore, sir. Now your project
is to make sure nobody's arms are

getting in the gravy.

Tell me, who's who again?

John and I are drifters.

Larry's a bum.

What's the difference?

Drifters move from place to place, but
they're usually looking for work. Well,

bum stays in one place and just begs.
Oh, okay. I thought drifters were the

that carried sticks with handkerchiefs
on the end.

No, that's a hobo.

Okay, well, so who's more desirable, a
drifter or a hobo?

You know, like, who do the bag ladies go
for?

The one that doesn't have the lights.

Listen, Paul talk's a good game, but
unless he lands a star, he's got

Well, that's just it. He's close to
signing Jack Nicholson to a three

deal. What?

I've been working on Nicholson for the
past year.

If he signs, it's because of me.

Must be aggravating to hear all this
about Paul Mercer.

It's infuriating.

Sir, you're spilling soup all over the
place. I don't care about the soup,

Warner. I've worked too long and too
hard to let some limey fish and chip

come along and make me out a fool.

Well, unfortunately, there's not a lot
we can do about that now, sir.

What? Of course there's something we can
do. We can go to another studio and

crush Paul Mercer into the ground.

Yes, we can, sir. Yes, we can. What was
I thinking of retiring?

This is my town.

And I'm not going to stand by and let
that twerp win the game that I invented.

I'm the champ.

You are the champ, sir.

And you can tell Variety they got a new
page one.

Stuffing Ski's coming back.

And I'll be standing right beside you
all the way.

Sir?

Champ?

Day 12 of unemployment.

How's Greg holding up? Not bad.

He seems to have found a new routine.

Kim, get in here. Oprah's doing her
favorite things.

Bring Kleenex.
