You can be good at your job and enjoy yourself.

My father's story's over.

Doesn't look like it's over. You know, I get

She thinks I'm gonna lose her fortune.

Well, you're gonna have to do something about that.

Well, honey, you're the one that told me

Now what do I do with this fucking thing? Huh?

Why don't you fuck one of those waffles?

Okay, maybe I will.

Matter of fact, I might fuck the whole breakfast.

The waffles and the fruit

and the goddamn bagel and the omelet.

Don't you fucking touch my omelet.

Oh, the omelet's the first thing that's getting fucked.

Don't you fuck my omelet.

-Really? -Mm-hmm.

Mm.

There's no pedals in the shower.

probably much smaller, I'll assume.

[sighs]

God, it's beautiful, isn't it?

That's not the word I would use to describe it.

[Charlie] You know that its formation

is a result of tectonic events

a billion or more years ago.

You know, we're sitting right now on a shallow sea.

And there was this massive evaporative event,

and then this became an inland sea,

connected down to the ocean by what we call the Hovey Channel,

formed during the Permian period, hence the name.

There was massive marine life in this sea, massive.

And that marine life is now the oil we all seek today.

We're eating breakfast on the ocean floor.

Isn't that something?

Yeah.

And you?

-Me? -Mm-hmm.

-A lawyer. -Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

So, you like to fight.

I like to beat people who underestimate me.

Underestimate you?

Which is everyone.

Who underestimates you?

I mean, y-you scare the shit out of me.

You're smart, you're beautiful,

you got a chip on your shoulder the size

of this drilling rig here.

You don't act very scared.

I like to overcome my fears.

Oh, is that what you've been doing?

You know what, I'm a big believer

in only getting involved with women way out of my league.

Ah. [chuckles]

Okay. And why is that?

If you don't feel like you deserve what you got,

you'll always work hard to deserve it.

[snorts]

-What? -Wow. Okay.

You know, I bet the ladies really lap that shit up.

Well, I've never actually been with a woman

way out of my league till you,

so this is the first test of that theory.

Oh, now I'm a theory?

No, you're not. You're not a theory.

You're very much real. You're actually...

I'm shocked this is even happening.

Look, you're cute,

good cook and a better kisser,

but the $40 body wash, that's the reason I'm sitting here.

Sixty-seven.

Oh. Well, that makes me like you even more.

[chuckles]

Can we shift gears?

Back to bed?

Different gear.

I want to get you in front of the president and principal

and walk them through getting this well producing.

Well, I can walk them through getting it drilled,

but I-I can't guarantee it'll produce.

But you said drilling for gas was more forgiving.

It is. If the reservoir is proven.

Now, this-this is a wildcat.

I mean, there is gas in the region.

This is a very likely spot for it,

but there's no guarantees for that.

We know where

-the well produced. -Right.

Well, it stopped producing because it blew out.

Because of a hurricane.

Hurricanes are on the surface.

The well is 30,000 feet below.

I... I need a no-bullshit assessment.

What are the odds that we reach the gas field?

Well, look, I've glanced at the seismics,

and I need to study the reservoir,

-check the production history-- -What are the odds?

Ten percent.

♪ low, dramatic music

[sighs]

We are spending $400 million on this drill.

You know, diamonds aren't expensive because they're rare.

They're expensive because they're hard to find.

It's the same with our business.

Look, I'm the very best at what I do.

If there's gas in that field, I will find it.

Just give me time to glance over the seismics, and--

-Sounds like a guarantee. -Mm-mmm. It's a belief.

I need more than a belief.

I can't give you that. Anyone who says that they can

is lying to you. You know,

Wildcatting-- it's a belief and nothing else.

I don't know what wildcatting means.

It's risking it all.

Chips to the middle.

Fortune or failure, caution to the wind. All on a hunch.

That well produced for eight years. We know gas is there.

You know gas is there.

Then the well blew, started pumping water.

Did the pocket collapse? Were you in a small reservoir?

Were you on the edge of a big one?

I mean, production had little decline.

Hints at a big one, but you don't know.

That's wildcatting.

Now, you can take all your money to Vegas

and get better odds, but if these hit,

you're not measuring in MCFs, you're measuring in TCFs.

I don't know TCF.

Rebecca, you work for an oil company.

How can you not know what a TCF is--

I'm not a petroleum geologist.

I'm a fucking litigation attorney.

You are the geologist,

so would you be so kind as to tell me what the fuck a TCF is?

A million cubic feet, MCF. Trillion cubic feet, TCF.

An MCF of natural gas trades at 375,

so... [sighs]

you do the math, 'cause I can't count that high.

But if it misses...

-we're out $400 million. -Yeah.

That's wildcatting.
