Oh, my God. Look at this.
She has risen!
No, no!
I was never dead.
TMZ got a bad tip.
They issued a retraction this morning.
But they said they carried your body off a boat in Singapore,
and you didn't make it.
What?
They said they carried your body off a boat in Singapore,
and you didn't make it.
No, yeah.
No, no, no, I didn't make it to the hospital.
I came to in the ambulance. I had them reroute me to my hotel.
- Oh, hallelujah. - Thank You, Jesus.
We didn't want to believe it, but it made sense because of your--
you know, your breakdown.
My breakdown?
Yeah, at "Late Night."
It was all over the news that you went cuckoo.
- Deborah Vance is alive! - Yes! Oh, yes!
Motherfuckers!
These headlines are horrible.
"How Deborah Vance lost her way and lost 'Late Night' in the process."
Oh, "Diva down.
Talk show host's bizarre behavior raises serious concerns."
Ever since you went to Singapore,
Bob Lipka has been smearing you in the press.
But I defended you in all the comments with my burner--@JoyceGoldblattChang.
Oh, my God.
"Deborah Vance's on-air break--
why they cut the feed before her meltdown."
- What? - That's a bad one.
Oh, "Once an arsonist, always an arsonist--
Deborah Vance burns down 'Late Night.'"
God, I knew that social-media detox was gonna bite me in the ass.
First I was tagged in some very unflattering photos.
Now this?
There are hundreds of these.
Where are all the articles calling me a free-speech warrior?
Well, there were some positive ones, but they've been buried.
Of course, 'cause that bastard owns almost every news outlet.
- Oh, my God. - I think we've all read the stories.
Speaking of.
And, yeah, it's tragic.
Of course, I wish Deborah had spoken to us first, but, hey, it is a tough gig.
Not everyone's built for it.
We all just hope she gets well.
- "Gets well"? "Gets well"? - "Gets well"?
No wonder the obituary was so bad.
They needed someone to blame, so they blame me, the crazy lady.
It's the fucking house fire all over again.
We need to sue, okay?
And we need to get these websites to issue a retraction.
- I don't think that's gonna-- - No.
- Damage is already done. - Fuck.
We need to shift the narrative with something bigger than all of this.
Like what?
I'll figure something out.
- So how you guys been? - Good.
I think we should do a couples costume for Halloween.
Well, what are you thinking?
- Bart and Lisa or-- - Knock, knock.
Hey.
- May I? - Sure.
Regret to inform you
that Jeff Dunham is signing elsewhere.
Fuck! But the meeting went so well.
I even got along with his stupid-ass puppet.
All of our meetings go well, and then they find out
we can't do business with Bob Lipka's companies, and they ghost us.
Well, it doesn't help that our client list is older, female, and losing bone density
by the minute, Jimmy.
You don't have to tell me twice.
We lost two clients to bad falls this month alone.
It's sad, and I don't want to visit the hospital again.
Parking is a nightmare.
I didn't want to tell you this, but we lost Lassie.
The dog signed somewhere else?
No, I mean, we literally lost her.
She ran away. And she's not fixed, Jimmy.
She's probably taking loads from every pittie
from here to Santa Clarita, that stupid whore.
All right, look, I know this isn't popular.
No one's gonna want to hear this,
but I think we should revisit the conversation
- about downsizing this office. - No. We're not downsizing.
Don't make me say that again.
Kayla, the office, the rent, the phones, the insurance--
it costs $30,000 a month to be here.
It's worth it. We're projecting success to the industry.
I mean, there's already nasty gossip going around about us
ever since you beat the shit out of Bob Lipka.
I didn't beat the shit out of him. I just knocked his phone out of his hand.
We had a little scuffle.
The assistant Slack is still abuzz, boss. Not good.
If we move now, it's a death knell.
Okay, fine.
It's Damien.
He says Deborah wants to have lunch in Vegas this afternoon.
Oh, my God, the last-minute flights are gonna be so expensive.
- This is what I'm talking about. - Do you know what's free?
Your BMW, which I just had vacuumed. It's spotless.
You could eat an omakase off the dash.
Sure, but if we're gonna drive and be there by lunch, we've got to go now.
Road trip.
I'll drive. Don't worry. I just got my license.
- "Just"? - Shotgun.
Okay, I guess I'll sit in the back of my own car?
Wake up!
I figured it out.
What time is it?
Actually, what day is it?
Every obituary leads with a person's greatest achievement or failure.
That's why I need a win, a legacy-defining win
that they cannot spin!
Okay.
I refuse to be remembered on other people's terms--
as a quitter or the person who killed "Late Night"
or some hysterical woman.
I have worked too hard, and I have fought far too long.
I will be remembered for my accomplishments.
Yes.
So I have decided to EGOT.
- EGOT? - Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony.
No, I know. Well, actually, I didn't.
I thought the G was for Golden Globe, but I love that.
- I love that. - Oh, good.
I kind of assumed you'd think it was crazy.
No. I think it'd be crazy if you did not do that.
- Right? Great. - Yeah.
Come on, get up. We're having lunch with the team. Now!
Lunch? I'm still on Singapore Standard Time.
A midnight snack could be good.
That's right, it's me. I'm alive.
It's hard, but it's worth it.
I mean, I know EGOT is ambitious, but I'm already halfway there.
I have a Daytime Emmy for hosting "Bagongle."
- Yes. Oh, my God. - "Bagongle."
- Yeah. - Wait, what?
Oh, "Bagongle" was a game show on the USA Network in 1992,
where celebrities played Boggle on a constantly shaking floor.
So funny.
And I already have my Tony for producing.
In a post-coital haze, Eric Idle convinced me to put some money into "Spamalot."
Anyway, I already have my T and my E.
So now I need you to get me my O.
- O is for Oscar. - No, I know what O stands for.
I just meant, oh, like a reaction.
- Oh, that's crazy. - Yeah, wow.
Anyway, Deborah, I'm gonna have to review your contract,
because I have to see what you can even do legally.
- Boss man, permission to speak. - Sure.
Now, the network paid out Deborah's contract,
and they did it all through her exclusivity clause, not the noncompete.
Technically, she can't do anything scripted or paid--TV, film, no new media.
They control her socials, no live public performances.
And the contract specifies Florida law governs.
And because Deborah already signed her injunctive relief clause,
if she violates the contract,
they can come at her with a restraining order or worse.
- You memorized all that? - Inadvertently.
I mean, someone recently told me they thought I was autistic.
- That was me this morning. - Oh, yeah.
Anyway, she can technically still film something now,
as long as it's not released until the noncompete is over.
I like this young man.
- The thing about an Oscar is-- - No, Jimmy, it's not that difficult.
I mean, award voters love it when funny people go dead serious.
- Yes. - Just find me my Mo'Nique moment.
- Well, I can set you up-- - Oh, now, on to the Grammys.
Tragically, I have been nominated for my stand-up records seven times.
- I have never won. - "Seven"?
I think it was seven.
"Not a Vance in Hell," "Under The Knife, Over The Drama,"
"Live at the Mall of America," "The Olestra Diaries,"
"Live Free or Diet," "The Deb Commandments,"
and "The Best Things in Life Are at Sears: Deborah Vance Live Sponsored by Sears."
- So, yeah, seven. - Robbed.
Now, I know I can't do stand-up right now, so I'm taking a different route.
I'm gonna compete in the Best Audiobook category
by recording my memoir.
You wrote a memoir? That's great.
Well, no, not yet, but I happen to know the best writer in the world.
Tony Kushner.
Hey, what about me?
You can't write my memoir. You're too obsessed with me.
It's cool.
I gave up on developing my prose skills when I realized Gen Alpha can't read.
All right, everybody, let's go.
G-O stands for Grammy, Oscar.
- Yeah. - I'm not scared.
- A Grammy and an Oscar? Ava-- - No, I know, okay?
But you don't understand how bad it got in Singapore.
She was sleeping all day. She was drinking till noon.
Jimmy, she wore Crocs in public.
- Did the Crocs have a heel? - No.
But she keeps her heels on during surgery.
Yeah, so that's why, whatever she wants to do,
- we need to get on board, okay? - Okay.
Yeah. And you know what?
I guess she has done crazier things, right?
Yes, of course.
She can do anything. We can do anything.
Speaking of which, I need you to write and sell
a huge international hit that has potential for sequels.
- Can you do that? - I...
Look, I would never normally pressure a client to help our firm financially,
but we really need it.
We've had a tough few months.
Jimmy, she gave up the show for me. You know, I have to stay and help her.
- I'm sorry. I-- - No, no, no, I get that.
Actually, I did finish my "Mall Girl" script in Singapore.
- I could send you that. - Amazing. Okay, great.
You send that to me, and I guess...
I'll go get Deborah an Academy Award.
Perfect.
Great to see you.
Mr. Kushner, I just want to say it's such an honor
to observe the writing process of one of my heroes.
I mean, "Angels in America" was just, yeah, so formative for me.
Oh, that's sweet.
She's just shadowing, so feel free to ignore her.
I often do.
So, Tony, where do we start?
I'm thinking a chapter a day, 15 chapters,
we should be able to wrap this up in two weeks, easy.
We're gonna need far longer than that. I really believe in an immersive process.
Okay.
Well, I don't tend to love those whiny childhood parts
of most celebrity memoirs.
But then again, I was a very strong child.
I held up my own head at three months old--
my little blonde head.
- Oh, wow. - I know.
That would make a great opening sentence. Quote--"I was born blonde."
I actually want to start way before that.
Since your people descend from Scotland, I've been reading
"The Lion in the North: One Thousand Years of Scotland's History."
Did you know that your eighth great-grandfather
was a prominent figure in the Battle of Glen Fruin?
I didn't.
It's really fascinating stuff.
It starts with the MacGregor clan.
They were in a feud with the Coughlin clan over cattle thefts and land thefts.
This is, like, at the beginning of the 17th century,
when James VI, who was a big homo,
moved to England to become James I.
And it was the start of the Jacobian era
and the translation of the King James Bible...
Thank you.
Okay, what if Deborah produces a documentary short?
That's got to be an easy category, right?
There's no way Deborah's getting into that category this year.
I mean, do you see how many ongoing wars we have going on right now?
There's at least a nominee coming out of each.
Unless Deborah wants to drag a film crew through the Congo, it's not happening.
- God, this is impossible. - It is.
Is it, though? Because correct me if I'm wrong--
there already is a movie with early Oscar buzz
that Deborah has a connection to.
Which one?
The Fatty Arbuckle movie, Jimmy.
The one you're producing. Hello?
Hi, yeah, no, that's the only project we have
without Deborah or a rabid dog attached.
Absolutely not. No.
And dare I say, I'm proud of my work on it.
- Thank you very much. - It's an award-season dream.
I mean, it's a biopic.
It's got famous actors playing against type.
It's a period piece. It's got everything. She just needs a small part.
Do you know that Beatrice Straight won the Oscar for "Network,"
despite having only five minutes of screen time?
- Five minutes. - I didn't know that.
Had no idea, but it doesn't matter. We're already finished shooting.
- Don't we have to do reshoots? - No, we are doing additional photography.
- Reshoots. - Great!
We are doing additional photography. It is different than a reshoot.
- Different thing. - Christopher Plummer was nominated
for a performance done entirely within additional photography.
Thank you.
Wow, how do you know all this stuff?
Once I started learning about Hollywood, I couldn't stop.
Such a fascinating mix of culture and business and art and history.
It's America.
I mean, maybe if she was Australian, I could see it.
But, no, look...
the Arbuckle movie is the only thing that's going well for our firm.
- I can't mess it up. - All right, whatever you say.
Maybe she could learn sound mixing
and rise to the top of her field in the next two weeks?
- The worst idea I've ever heard. - Hey, there are no bad ideas, but--
No, it's okay. I probably shouldn't have said anything.
Fuck!
You got to be more sensitive to her, okay?
Kayla. Kayla, honey, it's okay.
You know what? There are no bad ideas in a brainstorm.
And it's really hard to get an Oscar.
Okay, so today let's start with high school.
I was gorgeous, smart, and popular.
College, same. Now, that's when Frank came in.
Before we get into that, let me just play you something.
And I stood there shivering in my pajamas...
I think this is the soundtrack for the first chapter of the book.
And when it was all over, I said to myself--
Books don't have soundtracks.
No, the soundtrack I'll listen to while I write that section of your life.
Oh, my God, that is such a cool way to do it.
God, when I write, I just change out of my sleep pajamas
to my daytime pajamas.
Maybe close your eyes to really feel it?
I don't know.
I have a Pulitzer.
Ooh, wow.
This does feel good.
Right? She gets it.
Oh, I love this song.
Hi, Tony.
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends
Then let's keep dancing
Oh, Fatty, I can't be alone.
I wish I could hold you just one more time.
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but Deborah actually would be better for this part.
Yeah, anybody would.
- Let's cut. - Cutting.
I'm sorry, guys, I'm really having trouble accessing the emotions today.
No, no, no, darling, you're doing fantastic.
We love it.
I hate it. She's so bad.
Yeah, she's been horrible all day.
Do you think that maybe she'd be better
if we put peanut butter on the roof of her mouth?
- What? - We recently did the "Lassie" reboot.
- She's kidding, I think. I hope. - I'm not kidding.
Look, I hate to say this, but I do think we should recast her.
- You do? That's a good idea. - Oh, fuck.
I mean, this movie's about a comedian, right?
And it's leaning a little maudlin.
I think you should put a comedian in the role.
Right?
What about Deborah Vance? It's an interesting idea.
Does she act at all?
Are you kidding? She was the lead of "Who's Making Dinner?!"
Groundbreaking sitcom in the '70s?
- She's great in that. - And you know what is crazy?
Her story is exactly like Fatty's.
I mean, she was cast aside by the public.
She was maligned, but then she rose from the ashes.
It's actually really good for the narrative,
and I think she'd be amazing in the part.
That was very inspired, Kayla.
- That's a great idea. - I just totally came up with it.
Didn't she go crazy or something recently?
No, no, no, that was a coordinated smear campaign.
- What the hell are you talking about? - That is absolutely false.
I can tell you as her manager, all those things you've read--
Something not true. She's sassier than ever.
Okay, great. I love it.
- Let's do it. - Okay.
- Awesome. - Oh, my gosh.
And you have to fire Esme, because I'm not good at being direct with people.
- You're a director. - I know.
Okay.
Great. Cool.
- Moving on, everyone. - All right, moving on.
Moving on.
God, I can't believe you're recording the book already.
Oh, no, no, the book's not happening.
- I fired Kushner. - You fired Tony Kushner?
No, Deborah.
God, I was gonna slowly develop a relationship with him
over the course of years and then eventually ask him to read my script,
and he was gonna love it.
You know how it is with men.
If they're not moving at your pace,
it just gets boring and painful after a while.
Okay, so why are we in a recording studio, then?
I had McKinsey run the numbers
to see if I could still get a Grammy this year.
Deborah, we talked about you not using McKinsey.
You said I could do it if it was for a good cause.
- No, I didn't. - Well, it is, and I did.
Apparently, it is an incredibly weak year for one Grammy category.
Regional Mexican Music Album, including Tejano.
And?
And if I'm featured with the front-runner and they win,
which they will 'cause it's a weak year, I get my G.
Hey, Deborah, we're ready for you.
Thanks.
Okay, wish me luck.
- Did you know about this? - Yes.
Buenos dรญas.
- Hi, hi. - Hello. How you doing?
- Good. - All right.
Yeah.
Hit it.
Oh, God, I hate firing people.
- Let's do good cop, bad cop. - I'll be bad cop. They're sexier.
Okay. Just... Okay.
We should see a concert soon. I'm kind of in the mood for a concert.
- All right. - Come in.
- Hi, there. It's Jimmy and Kayla. - Hi.
- Yeah, hi. - Hi.
- We need to talk to you, honey. - Okay. Sure. Come on in.
Oh, thank you so much for welcoming us into your space.
Of course.
We should start by saying that you, madam,
have been just so punctual.
Of course I'm punctual.
That being said, you're bad!
Your acting's ass, and you're being outperformed by a dead corpse, mama!
Okay. Sorry about her. Give us a second.
That was insane, but, honestly, it's on me.
I should've never let you be bad cop.
- You be good cop. - Okay.
Kind of an oxymoron, though. Fucking pigs.
Just be as nice as you possibly can, okay?
Okay. I'll be the nicest girl in the whole world.
Sorry about that, hon. I'm super bipolar.
Oh, my God. I did not know that.
Yeah, I'm really sorry about that.
But, unfortunately, I do have some bad news.
Okay.
Are those your real lips?
If so, your boyfriend's one lucky son of a bitch.
I have a wife.
Oh, gay ass.
Listen, there's no easy way to say this.
You are being recast.
- What? - Oh, my God.
You are terminated effective immediately.
Please pack up your things and return your costume and the wig cap.
- Fuck you, Jimmy! Seriously? - What?
I mean, this is so unfair, right? Insane, wrong.
Let's get the union involved. You jackass!
No, we're not getting the union involved.
We're just recasting. It happens every day.
No, I mean, seriously, you've been mistreated in the workplace.
- No, she hasn't. This is just recasting. - It happens every day in Hollywood, okay?
- I've never seen something like this. - It's a tough business.
It happens a lot, okay?
Unfortunately, this decision is final. You're fired.
But you're also signed by us as a client.
Really?
- Kayla. - I am seeking representation.
Well, you found it with Schaefer & LuSaque.
- Welcome to the family. - Oh, Jesus--
Oh, my God.
Yeah, we should definitely get a dinner on the books.
Dinner, dinner, dinner.
I consider myself a playwright who's learned to write screenplays,
or perhaps I should say, I'm a playwright who's learned to write screenplays
for Steven Spielberg.
Hello.
Oh, hey. What's up?
I've been thinking.
The real way to cement my legacy
is for me to primary AOC.
What do you think?
Yeah. Yeah, totally. That sounds good.
I guess we would have to get you a New York address first in the Bronx.
That could be cool. We could hang out there. I heart New York.
I would love to hang out in New York City a lot more.
- I would love that. It would be great. - Okay, that's it.
- What is wrong with you? - Nothing.
What are you talking about?
You're not challenging me in your normal
"well, haven't you ever considered" Ava way.
I'm just trying to be supportive.
Well, I don't need a yes-man. I need a no-woman to ignore.
Okay, well, fine.
Yeah, things got really dark in Singapore,
and it was really scary seeing you that way.
And now you're back, and you're motivated,
and it's just nice to see you getting out of bed every day excited.
Well, okay.
But, you know, I do sometimes need you to be honest with me.
Okay, well, I don't think performing Tejano music
is how you want to rewrite your legacy.
ยฟPor quรฉ no?
I just--I don't know that, like, trying to find some loophole to game the system
in an obscure awards category is what you want to be remembered for, is it?
Maybe.
I mean, this noncompete could be a blessing in disguise.
I could discover something new I'm brilliant at, my true calling.
I mean, look at Woody Allen. He's a gifted clarinetist.
Doll, Woody Allen is not gonna be remembered for playing the clarinet
or the movies or the bucket hat.
It's gonna be the other thing, okay?
And you are gonna be remembered for comedy, because you're a comedian.
You said it yourself in your final monologue, remember?
Oh, God, I don't remember what I said.
- I certainly haven't watched it. - Yeah, well, maybe you should.
Okay, what is the biggest achievement for a comedian?
- Beating a rape trial. - Seriously.
Hosting a late-night show.
Come on. Anything else?
Selling out Madison Square Garden.
Okay, great.
But I can't do that.
- I can't perform. - I know.
And I don't know how to get around that.
I don't know what to do.
So you have a bump but no pitch.
Yeah. I'm sorry.
Yeah, me too.
I'm going to bed.
- Good night. - Good night.
What?
Ava!
No results. Unbelievable.
Yeah, they've taken down every "Late Night" clip.
This is criminal.
Hang on.
Oh, shit.
What?
They took down "My Bad," too.
What?
Why would my special be gone?
Because it's on their streamer. Bob Lipka controls that, too.
They fucking scrubbed everything.
Everything.
Everything that we have worked on for the past five years is gone.
They're not just rewriting me, they are erasing me!
I'm so sorry.
You know, the last time the press smeared me, I just let them.
I leaned into it, but not this time.
This time I am writing my story, 'cause you're right.
I am a comedian.
And I'm doing comedy, and I'm doing it tomorrow night.
Totally. Super support you. But how are you gonna--
Call Jimmy, manager.
Being let go is a normal part of the business.
- Yeah. - I'm sure she'll be okay.
Thank you, Orna.
But, again, I do want to revisit working on your boundaries with clients.
Yes, I've been thinking about that a lot, and I...
Oh, shoot. You know what? Deborah's calling.
Same time next week? Great.
Hey, Deborah.
Hi. Hi, hi, hi. I hope it's not too late.
No, no, this is great. I actually want to talk to you.
I just figured it was too late for you.
Are you ready for your close-up, Miss De-Vance?
- What? - I got you a part.
Your Oscar is just one great performance,
nomination, flawless campaign, and win away.
No, I'm over that. Don't need an Oscar anymore.
No, yes, you do. You need it.
You told me you needed it, and we recast somebody.
We're putting you on the call sheet right now.
- Jimmy, I'm doing stand-up tomorrow. - Oh, no. You're sundowning, darling.
You cannot perform.
No, I'm gonna do a secret show. We're gonna confiscate phones.
Well, no venue's gonna agree to that.
They don't have to.
I know a guy.
Password?
Hermรจs Kelly 28 croc, gold hardware.
Follow me. You made it just in time.
Phones, please.
If your babysitter calls, Damien here will handle it.
And if you try to sneak in a device, you will be Tased.
- They are good. - Follow me and watch your step.
We are not liable if you fall, ladies!
Open any hard candy now.
So help me God, if I hear a rustle, you're gone.
Sit.
Right this way.
Front row, best seat in the house. You do have to sit on the floor, though.
- Sorry about that. - Did you get your mom yet?
- The Arbuckle movie is freaking out. - All right, let me try her again.
I'm so sorry, everybody. I'm so sorry.
Cut.
Oh, it's my son calling. He's been trying to reach me.
Hi, honey. What's going on?
You know that we shoot until midnight every night.
I know, I'm sorry. Just listen.
I got you a role in the Fatty Arbuckle movie.
- Okay. Say more. - Here's the only issue.
We lose our location Saturday, so we have to shoot tomorrow.
Can you be off book for eight pages by morning?
Baby, are you kidding? I'm in soaps.
I could be off book for "Hamlet" in 20 minutes.
Oh, great. Okay.
Oh, the show's starting. I got to go. I'll text you.
All right. Love you.
- Okay, my mom is in. She's gonna do it. - Yes.
Deborah, Deborah, Deborah!
Deborah, Deborah, Deborah!
Deborah, Deborah, Deborah!
Deborah, Deborah, Deborah!
Deborah, we love you!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Here I am, back from the dead.
You know, when a man does that, he's the Son of God.
When a woman does it, she's held for questioning at LAX.
The only other time I was mistaken for a corpse
was when I let a straight man do my makeup.
You know, when you're away from the spotlight...
...you have time to think about what really matters.
The spotlight!
God, I am glad to be back!
Oh, can I try the kitty cat?
That is fierce.
- Stunning. Stunning. - Look at that.
Excuse me. Are you Deborah Vance?
Yes, I'm alive.
And you've been served.
Bitch!
Shit, there's a video of you from the show online.
I can't believe Bob's people found it so quickly.
Looks like we're going to court.
- Ma'am, we need that ring back. - She'll give it back when she's ready.
Free Deborah! Free Deborah! Free Deborah!
Let us through! Let us through, please!
Deborah! Deborah!
Deborah, your comments on today?
Deborah.
- Ms. Vance. - Deborah, care to comment?
- Move back! Move back! - Back up!
Coming through. Come on, guys, back up.
We've just learned the judge has ruled that due to ComStar's investment
in promoting Deborah Vance as the host of "Late Night,"
the clause barring her from performing is, in fact, enforceable.
A temporary restraining order will be put in place
until a full trial can be set.
This is a huge loss for Ms. Vance and her team.
- We'll be covering-- - Deborah, Deborah!
Okay, give us some space, please. Just stay back.
Free speech is under attack in this country.
And today I have been told that I cannot so much as perform
one single joke,
or I will go to jail.
But they can't censor me forever.
The moment that my contract expires, I will be speaking my truth.
In fact, I'll be shouting it at my comeback show
at the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.
Thank you.
Excuse us, guys. Excuse us, please.
Back it up. Back up. Give us some room. Thank you.
- The Garden? - Yep.
It's the ultimate win for a comedian.
And if I sell it out, I'll be one of only a handful who've ever done it.
And that will be my legacy.
You know, for a woman who can't be on camera, you just got a lot of airtime.
Wait, you leaked that video, didn't you?
No.
I did.
- That was a great pitch. - We had to announce somehow.
Oh, my God.
