Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:09,778 --> 00:01:12,489
So you want to work for Uber.
2
00:01:13,698 --> 00:01:15,450
I have one question for you.
3
00:01:16,451 --> 00:01:17,994
Are you an asshole?
4
00:01:21,956 --> 00:01:23,708
Sorry, one sec.
You got a thing?
5
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:26,419
Quentin has a thing, yeah.
Addresses the safety issue.
6
00:01:26,461 --> 00:01:28,713
Fuck that. We don't have time
for safety bullshit.
7
00:01:28,755 --> 00:01:30,965
We got taxi commissions
across the land
8
00:01:31,007 --> 00:01:32,592
trying to chip our beef.
9
00:01:32,634 --> 00:01:34,761
We got journalists trying
to infiltrate our shit.
10
00:01:34,803 --> 00:01:36,304
-We got--
-We got passenger safety issues
11
00:01:36,346 --> 00:01:38,139
-that we need to address--
-Graves, here,
12
00:01:38,181 --> 00:01:40,934
is what my mom would call
a piece of work.
13
00:01:40,975 --> 00:01:43,603
This guy answered a tweet
that I sent on a whim
14
00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:45,105
looking for a killer.
15
00:01:45,146 --> 00:01:47,482
I made him CEO...
for about three minutes,
16
00:01:47,524 --> 00:01:49,317
until I realized
this was a real company.
17
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:51,111
Then I took the job.
18
00:01:51,152 --> 00:01:53,613
And now he does this and that,
some important things.
19
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:55,657
Apparently he's our new
safety czar.
20
00:01:55,698 --> 00:01:58,243
Safety? Dude, you know how many
rides we're doing every day.
21
00:01:58,284 --> 00:01:59,786
It's over a million.
22
00:01:59,828 --> 00:02:01,579
No matter how we vet
these fucking drivers,
23
00:02:01,621 --> 00:02:03,289
there's gonna be a guy
who had a bad morning,
24
00:02:03,331 --> 00:02:04,874
he got horny,
he forgot to jerk off,
25
00:02:04,916 --> 00:02:06,459
he makes a pass at a passenger.
26
00:02:06,501 --> 00:02:08,294
Suddenly that's my fault?
27
00:02:08,336 --> 00:02:10,130
The press makes it out
like getting in one of our cars
28
00:02:10,171 --> 00:02:11,714
is like walking
through Times Square
29
00:02:11,756 --> 00:02:13,299
at 2:00 in the morning in 1976.
30
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:15,593
There's more important
shit than safety--
31
00:02:15,635 --> 00:02:17,345
TK, you're gonna love my nuts.
32
00:02:20,849 --> 00:02:22,142
It solves the public
perception problem
33
00:02:22,183 --> 00:02:24,102
and adds to the bottom line.
34
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:28,231
It's a Safe Rides Fee, TK.
35
00:02:28,273 --> 00:02:30,817
We drop those words in the app,
add a dollar to every ride.
36
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:33,945
We can make a--
37
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:35,488
like a driver training video
or something,
38
00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:36,739
and the rest of it...
39
00:02:38,032 --> 00:02:39,284
Wow.
40
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:41,327
I do love your nuts.
41
00:02:41,369 --> 00:02:43,454
Let me English this
shit up for those of you too
42
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:46,374
trusting of a smiling face
to get the actual fucking drift.
43
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:49,502
That Safe Rides Fee provides
one thing and one thing only,
44
00:02:49,544 --> 00:02:51,504
and it ain't a safe
motherfucking ride.
45
00:02:51,546 --> 00:02:53,840
It's your money in their
goddamn bank account.
46
00:02:53,882 --> 00:02:55,884
Just because they hide it
in the fine print of an app
47
00:02:55,925 --> 00:02:57,385
don't mean it ain't a scam.
48
00:02:57,427 --> 00:03:00,555
That is some
Michael fucking Eisner shit.
49
00:03:01,806 --> 00:03:03,224
Matt, what do you think?
50
00:03:04,976 --> 00:03:08,021
It seems maybe misleading.
Is that okay?
51
00:03:08,062 --> 00:03:10,481
"Is that okay?" Yeah, dude,
it's fucking brilliant.
52
00:03:10,523 --> 00:03:11,858
Do you know the name
Michael Eisner?
53
00:03:13,359 --> 00:03:15,195
It's the guy that ran Disney.
54
00:03:15,236 --> 00:03:18,364
When he first started, parking
at the theme parks was free.
55
00:03:18,406 --> 00:03:19,866
His first year on the job,
56
00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:22,202
he starts charging
$1 per car to park,
57
00:03:22,243 --> 00:03:23,494
goes up and up and up
from there.
58
00:03:23,536 --> 00:03:25,371
People freak the fuck out.
59
00:03:25,413 --> 00:03:27,040
They're, like,
kicking and screaming
60
00:03:27,081 --> 00:03:28,791
and "This is un-American,"
but what did they do?
61
00:03:28,833 --> 00:03:30,293
They kept parking
at fucking Disneyland
62
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:32,295
because they want to see Goofy.
63
00:03:32,337 --> 00:03:34,339
I mean, they need to see Goofy.
It's for their kids, right?
64
00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:38,134
We are Goofy, and Minnie
and fucking Mickey Mouse
65
00:03:38,176 --> 00:03:39,552
all rolled up into one.
66
00:03:39,594 --> 00:03:42,472
Once we get them in our car,
67
00:03:42,513 --> 00:03:45,225
we can charge whatever
we want to the next time.
68
00:03:49,437 --> 00:03:53,107
You have the green light
on the Safe Rides Fee.
69
00:03:53,149 --> 00:03:56,069
Dude, that is hundreds
of millions of dollars,
70
00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:57,779
those three words together.
71
00:03:57,820 --> 00:03:59,280
Nice work.
72
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:05,912
You didn't answer my question
from before.
73
00:04:05,954 --> 00:04:07,747
Are you an asshole?
74
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:14,462
I just-- I know that look
on your face.
75
00:04:14,504 --> 00:04:16,422
You're like, "I think I know
what I want to say,
76
00:04:16,464 --> 00:04:19,008
but I'm not sure
if I should say it."
77
00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:20,760
I recognize that look.
You know why?
78
00:04:20,802 --> 00:04:23,388
Because before all of this,
79
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:24,973
it was on my face too.
80
00:04:40,321 --> 00:04:42,532
What do you think?
Gray or...
81
00:04:42,573 --> 00:04:44,534
Gray?
82
00:04:44,575 --> 00:04:46,119
They called it charcoal
when I bought it.
83
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,121
-Looks gray to me.
-Okay.
84
00:04:48,162 --> 00:04:50,331
I really don't think you can
go wrong within the three shades
85
00:04:50,373 --> 00:04:52,458
of the color palette
you're debating.
86
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:54,335
How is it?
87
00:04:54,377 --> 00:04:56,504
-Mm-mm.
- What?
88
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:01,342
So, what do you know?
89
00:05:01,384 --> 00:05:03,594
-About Bill Gurley?
-Mm-hmm.
90
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:06,139
Well, Benchmark is one
of the top venture capital firms
91
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:07,724
in the whole valley.
92
00:05:07,765 --> 00:05:10,101
If they invest in us,
we are minted.
93
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:13,396
If they pass,
then we stink like roadkill.
94
00:05:13,438 --> 00:05:15,148
And Bill Gurley
is the shot caller.
95
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:18,067
Shot caller.
96
00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:20,320
He's actually
literally a baller.
97
00:05:21,362 --> 00:05:23,948
Literally a baller.
98
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:26,409
-Played in college.
-You gonna talk sports with him?
99
00:05:26,451 --> 00:05:28,619
I think he'd be more
into his Valley highlight reel.
100
00:05:28,661 --> 00:05:29,829
Don't you think?
101
00:05:29,871 --> 00:05:31,331
-Uh, eBay?
-Yeah, exactly.
102
00:05:31,372 --> 00:05:32,749
They put in
six and a half million.
103
00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:35,335
Oof. What's it worth now? Four?
104
00:05:35,376 --> 00:05:36,669
Five billion.
105
00:05:36,711 --> 00:05:39,130
Yeah, if Benchmark comes in
on UberCab,
106
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:40,965
-we are--
-Minted. You said.
107
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:42,425
-Yeah, yeah.
-You get upped.
108
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:44,427
-They open the books.
-Made.
109
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:46,095
This has got to work.
110
00:05:46,137 --> 00:05:47,680
I don't know, though.
111
00:05:47,722 --> 00:05:49,349
He's just gonna see a guy
in his lame jeans
112
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:50,850
and these fucking shoes.
113
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:52,518
I don't know
what these shoes are.
114
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,020
Nah, he'll see
you're a dun-colored mare.
115
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:56,814
-What?
-From Raise High the Roof Beam?
116
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:58,524
Salinger. Don't worry,
you'll read it later.
117
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:00,902
What it means
is your ideas will matter.
118
00:06:00,943 --> 00:06:04,072
Not your clothes.
He'll see that.
119
00:06:04,113 --> 00:06:05,907
What are you doing tonight?
120
00:06:05,948 --> 00:06:08,117
Reading up on this new
cancer drug
121
00:06:08,159 --> 00:06:09,786
before I get ready to take
it public.
122
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:11,579
I'm just gonna throw this guy
so much attitude,
123
00:06:11,621 --> 00:06:13,247
he won't even pay attention
to the clothes.
124
00:06:13,289 --> 00:06:15,958
Don't be the Winston Wolf cool
version of Travis.
125
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,418
Be open.
126
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:20,671
Show him that you're vulnerable,
127
00:06:20,713 --> 00:06:22,548
and need his money
and his protection.
128
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:32,850
-This could be the one, Bill.
-Could be.
129
00:06:32,892 --> 00:06:35,978
Leaves a lot of room for the
other side of that wager, Bill.
130
00:06:36,020 --> 00:06:38,231
Is that where you land, Fenton?
131
00:06:38,272 --> 00:06:40,233
Just a little less bullish
than he is.
132
00:06:40,274 --> 00:06:42,068
We're talking about committing
millions of dollars
133
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:44,862
and our reputational capital
on this guy.
134
00:06:44,904 --> 00:06:47,156
To his product.
And it is a great product.
135
00:06:47,198 --> 00:06:49,075
Yep, UberCab is solid.
136
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:50,868
Tech could really
be something.
137
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:52,203
And we like this space.
138
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:55,832
But why not Cabulous
or Taxi Magic?
139
00:06:55,873 --> 00:06:59,252
How do we know this Kalanick guy
is the chosen one?
140
00:06:59,293 --> 00:07:01,295
So we got point.
What's counterpoint?
141
00:07:01,337 --> 00:07:03,756
He's the counterpoint.
I made the original point.
142
00:07:05,716 --> 00:07:09,011
Look, Bill, something is going
to pop in the space.
143
00:07:09,053 --> 00:07:11,097
-This guy's reputation--
-You know how it goes with me.
144
00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:13,975
Travis and I start completing
each other's sentences, well...
145
00:07:15,893 --> 00:07:18,479
Look, a unicorn will take flight
in this sector.
146
00:07:18,521 --> 00:07:20,648
Someone will make a hundred-X
return on their investment.
147
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:24,277
But is this Travis guy the kind
of person who can ride one?
148
00:07:24,318 --> 00:07:27,405
I'll just be like one of those
sheriffs in the Westerns.
149
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:30,158
Stand back six paces
and stare him right in the eyes.
150
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:32,285
And shoot him?
151
00:07:34,328 --> 00:07:36,372
You know, at Benchmark Capital,
we don't shoot founders.
152
00:07:36,414 --> 00:07:37,748
We leave that to Sequoia.
153
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:39,375
Here he is.
154
00:07:40,668 --> 00:07:42,795
Mr. Gurley.
155
00:07:42,837 --> 00:07:44,714
Just Bill.
156
00:07:46,924 --> 00:07:49,135
Everybody's got the numbers
on the company,
157
00:07:49,177 --> 00:07:50,803
so I'm not gonna
grill you on that.
158
00:07:50,845 --> 00:07:52,805
All that studying for nothing.
159
00:07:52,847 --> 00:07:56,559
But I do want to understand
how it is that you see yourself
160
00:07:56,601 --> 00:07:58,728
growing into the role of CEO.
161
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:00,938
Not every founder can.
162
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:02,690
First day out of high school,
163
00:08:02,732 --> 00:08:05,318
LeBron James had a meeting
at Reebok.
164
00:08:05,359 --> 00:08:07,195
He took the bus there.
It's all he could afford.
165
00:08:07,236 --> 00:08:08,779
And he was sitting
at the longest
166
00:08:08,821 --> 00:08:11,616
conference table in the world
with the CEO.
167
00:08:11,657 --> 00:08:14,160
And they're talking,
and LeBron notices,
168
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:16,120
oh, the CEO's starting
to write something.
169
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:17,705
And then the CEO gets up
170
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:19,415
and he walks the length
of this whole table,
171
00:08:19,457 --> 00:08:23,211
and he drops a check
in front of him for $10 million.
172
00:08:23,252 --> 00:08:25,671
Now, it's only
the two of them in there,
173
00:08:25,713 --> 00:08:27,673
and, uh, LeBron's only 18.
174
00:08:27,715 --> 00:08:29,842
And the way he tells it,
he almost took the check, right?
175
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:31,427
He almost started crying.
176
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:33,137
It was everything he ever worked
for in his life
177
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:35,431
just suddenly made manifest
in front of him.
178
00:08:35,473 --> 00:08:36,724
But he didn't.
179
00:08:36,766 --> 00:08:38,267
He stood up
and he walked out.
180
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:39,644
Strong move.
181
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,854
Yeah, the man understood
his value, right?
182
00:08:41,896 --> 00:08:44,273
And eventually,
he signed for much more
183
00:08:44,315 --> 00:08:45,983
with the place
he wanted to be: Nike.
184
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:49,111
But first, he had to ride
the bus a few more times
185
00:08:49,153 --> 00:08:51,030
to get to the Bentleys
and the PJs.
186
00:08:51,072 --> 00:08:53,032
But you're not walking out.
187
00:08:53,074 --> 00:08:54,367
No.
188
00:08:54,408 --> 00:08:57,119
Because you're not just some VC.
189
00:08:57,161 --> 00:08:59,163
You're Nike.
190
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:00,540
And I know it.
191
00:09:02,625 --> 00:09:04,418
You know, maybe we don't sell
each other tonight.
192
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:05,670
Just...
193
00:09:05,711 --> 00:09:07,380
We just talk a bit.
194
00:09:07,421 --> 00:09:09,674
If I were selling you,
you'd have your wallet out.
195
00:09:13,594 --> 00:09:15,096
No, I'm-- I'm--
196
00:09:15,137 --> 00:09:17,431
I'm here in the spirit
of connection.
197
00:09:17,473 --> 00:09:20,977
And in that spirit,
I'll tell you,
198
00:09:21,018 --> 00:09:26,857
I believe I have underachieved
in my potential as a leader.
199
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:29,569
But if I had a mentor,
like you...
200
00:09:31,946 --> 00:09:34,240
there is no limit to where
this thing could go.
201
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,246
How do you think your
drivers would describe
202
00:09:40,288 --> 00:09:41,998
their relationship
with the company?
203
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:43,833
There we've done it right.
Our drivers--
204
00:09:43,874 --> 00:09:45,626
-Are your army.
-That's what I was gonna say.
205
00:09:45,668 --> 00:09:47,670
Our army. And I believe
an army with a full belly--
206
00:09:47,712 --> 00:09:49,463
Is an army that can win.
Yes.
207
00:09:49,505 --> 00:09:51,090
Yes, sir, and that part,
208
00:09:51,132 --> 00:09:52,883
it's not just
self-serving either.
209
00:09:52,925 --> 00:09:55,595
It's a big part of
the whole motivation for me.
210
00:09:55,636 --> 00:09:58,598
I really believe this service
can be a true value,
211
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:00,516
can be so good
for so many people,
212
00:10:00,558 --> 00:10:02,435
so many groups of people.
213
00:10:02,476 --> 00:10:03,936
Ever since the very beginning,
214
00:10:03,978 --> 00:10:05,438
from the first time
I had the idea.
215
00:10:07,982 --> 00:10:09,609
Well, from...
216
00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:12,945
um, from when Garrett Camp
and I had the idea.
217
00:10:12,987 --> 00:10:14,405
I bet.
218
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:16,282
We were in Paris
219
00:10:16,324 --> 00:10:18,451
at the top
of the Eiffel Tower.
220
00:10:18,492 --> 00:10:21,537
And I remember
it just came to me in a burst.
221
00:10:21,579 --> 00:10:24,123
I saw a way to upend
the wage slavery
222
00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:25,791
of the taxi business.
223
00:10:25,833 --> 00:10:28,794
You know, to democratize
the entire industry
224
00:10:28,836 --> 00:10:31,797
for the good of those
hardworking drivers
225
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:34,091
as well as for the passengers.
226
00:10:36,010 --> 00:10:37,970
I saw it all from above.
227
00:10:38,012 --> 00:10:39,972
A new form
of transportation, yes,
228
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:43,142
but also a way for people
to make it on their own terms.
229
00:10:43,184 --> 00:10:45,603
You know,
a mom who can just work
230
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:47,480
while her kids are at school,
231
00:10:47,521 --> 00:10:50,107
or a dad who can
turn off the app
232
00:10:50,149 --> 00:10:51,984
when it's time
for family dinner.
233
00:10:57,698 --> 00:10:59,992
So, yeah, that's the basic idea.
234
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:02,828
It's people driving people.
A car always within minutes.
235
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:05,081
A private chauffeur,
but only when you need it.
236
00:11:05,122 --> 00:11:06,666
So the cost is minimal.
237
00:11:06,707 --> 00:11:10,336
A real disruptor
for the taxi space.
238
00:11:11,962 --> 00:11:13,464
I just need an operations
type to run it,
239
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:16,676
and there's no one better
than you.
240
00:11:19,553 --> 00:11:21,806
Yeah, you might--
you might have something.
241
00:11:21,847 --> 00:11:24,016
A lot of work
to make that real, though.
242
00:11:24,058 --> 00:11:25,559
A lot of work.
243
00:11:27,061 --> 00:11:30,856
And Garrett contributed
a lot too, absolutely.
244
00:11:30,898 --> 00:11:32,233
Well, it's good of you
to make sure
245
00:11:32,274 --> 00:11:33,526
that he shares
in the credit.
246
00:11:33,567 --> 00:11:35,403
Of course, yeah.
No, you got to.
247
00:11:35,444 --> 00:11:36,904
Right?
248
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:40,199
But at that point,
it was just a matter
249
00:11:40,241 --> 00:11:42,076
of getting the angel investors
onboard and, you know,
250
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:43,703
when they saw how sticky
this product is--
251
00:11:43,744 --> 00:11:45,705
What do you say we get
into the real questions?
252
00:11:45,746 --> 00:11:47,081
Sure.
253
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:51,669
Are you willing to work
with the outside money?
254
00:11:53,587 --> 00:11:56,340
Listen to wise counsel?
255
00:11:56,382 --> 00:11:59,260
I will always listen,
and I'll take good ideas.
256
00:11:59,301 --> 00:12:01,637
But I will never
take orders.
257
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:02,888
I can't.
258
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:12,898
Good.
259
00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:14,650
I don't give orders.
260
00:12:14,692 --> 00:12:16,861
Good.
261
00:12:16,902 --> 00:12:18,738
What else do you need to know?
262
00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:28,205
How sticky is it?
263
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:29,749
Really.
264
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,422
If someone rides twice,
we have them for life.
265
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:52,271
That's some evening.
266
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:54,315
I might've had
a one-few too many.
267
00:12:54,356 --> 00:12:56,108
I think I might leave
my car here tonight.
268
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:57,943
Hey, taxi!
269
00:13:02,072 --> 00:13:04,950
You know, I have a solution
for this particular problem.
270
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:10,998
Now, these things
rebooted everything, right?
271
00:13:18,964 --> 00:13:20,132
And...
272
00:13:27,181 --> 00:13:28,390
What, you just...?
273
00:13:28,432 --> 00:13:30,392
Yeah, like magic.
274
00:13:33,187 --> 00:13:34,396
Travis?
275
00:13:49,912 --> 00:13:51,330
Very nice.
276
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:56,001
You moved to the city
after Scour?
277
00:13:56,043 --> 00:13:58,170
Yeah. That was my--
my first startup.
278
00:13:58,212 --> 00:14:00,464
Peer-to-peer media
file sharing.
279
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:02,007
That didn't turn out?
280
00:14:03,342 --> 00:14:04,552
No, it didn't.
281
00:14:04,593 --> 00:14:05,845
Because of Mike Ovitz.
282
00:14:05,886 --> 00:14:08,222
You shopped the fucking deal.
283
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:11,517
In the world I come from,
that name made titans weak.
284
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,979
Now, Silicon Valley
gets to deal with him.
285
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:16,772
You refused to close terms
for months.
286
00:14:16,814 --> 00:14:18,816
You said you were gonna invest,
but the money never came.
287
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,484
We were bleeding out,
so eventually,
288
00:14:20,526 --> 00:14:22,278
I had to go looking
for other sources of funding,
289
00:14:22,319 --> 00:14:23,946
and then you fucking sued?
290
00:14:23,988 --> 00:14:26,365
That's what you do when
you're getting screwed.
291
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:28,117
You're getting screwed?
292
00:14:28,158 --> 00:14:30,661
You sued your own company
so it would take your money,
293
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,204
but it's money
you didn't want to give.
294
00:14:32,246 --> 00:14:36,375
A child can never understand
the motives of a man.
295
00:14:36,417 --> 00:14:39,628
Just as the samurai
can never question his lord.
296
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:42,214
You know to this day, in Japan,
297
00:14:42,256 --> 00:14:45,217
if a salaryman screws up
at work, he says,
298
00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:48,512
"I offer to cut my belly open."
299
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,848
They own their mistakes.
300
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:52,391
They don't blame
their betters.
301
00:14:52,433 --> 00:14:56,186
I am not, and I will never be,
a salaryman.
302
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:57,771
That's true.
303
00:14:57,813 --> 00:15:00,524
Salarymen at least, uh,
have a steady income.
304
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:03,235
Yeah, they also live
by a code which you do not.
305
00:15:03,277 --> 00:15:05,863
I mean, you leaked the story,
and now no one will touch us.
306
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:07,823
You drove a fucking stake
through the heart of this--
307
00:15:07,865 --> 00:15:09,325
That's right.
308
00:15:09,366 --> 00:15:11,535
And it'll just go
on and on, boyo,
309
00:15:11,577 --> 00:15:15,748
until you have no choice
but to sell it for parts.
310
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:19,376
Nobody shops a deal
on Mike Ovitz.
311
00:15:19,418 --> 00:15:22,254
And when you look back
on it all,
312
00:15:22,296 --> 00:15:24,298
you'll only have
yourself to blame.
313
00:15:50,157 --> 00:15:52,451
You're just gonna
let the car go?
314
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:54,078
How are you gonna get home?
You're not sleeping here
are ya'?
315
00:15:54,119 --> 00:15:55,621
No, I'll just get another one.
316
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:57,581
It's easy.
317
00:15:57,623 --> 00:16:00,417
Boss doesn't pay?
How does that work for morale?
318
00:16:00,459 --> 00:16:03,671
I'm paid in full.
It's a frictionless
experience for every passenger.
319
00:16:03,712 --> 00:16:06,298
Credit card's on file.
You just get out of the car,
get on with your life.
320
00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:08,676
It should feel like it's free.
It's just easy.
321
00:16:08,717 --> 00:16:10,469
Tip?
322
00:16:10,511 --> 00:16:13,263
No, our rev share is so good,
our drivers don't need tips.
323
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:14,723
Hell.
324
00:16:14,765 --> 00:16:17,893
Bill, I just want to tell you
325
00:16:17,935 --> 00:16:19,687
I am not going to lose
my company
326
00:16:19,728 --> 00:16:21,522
from the inside ever again.
327
00:16:21,563 --> 00:16:23,691
You can rest easy,
because at Benchmark--
328
00:16:23,732 --> 00:16:26,151
Yeah. You don't fire founders.
329
00:16:26,193 --> 00:16:28,696
There we go finishing
each other's sentences.
330
00:16:28,737 --> 00:16:29,947
So are we doing this?
331
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:32,408
You need my money, right?
332
00:16:32,449 --> 00:16:34,702
I don't need shit.
333
00:16:36,620 --> 00:16:38,998
I'm gonna take this thing the
whole way with or without you.
334
00:16:39,039 --> 00:16:42,209
Well then,
you do it without me.
335
00:16:51,051 --> 00:16:52,970
You don't need to do that.
336
00:16:53,012 --> 00:16:54,346
I see you.
337
00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:56,432
I get there's no company
without you.
338
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:01,395
So about my money?
339
00:17:01,437 --> 00:17:04,106
I would like it, yes.
340
00:17:04,148 --> 00:17:05,983
Yeah, one last question.
341
00:17:07,401 --> 00:17:08,694
Threshold.
342
00:17:10,904 --> 00:17:14,700
This whole private cab thing...
343
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:18,954
in the long run...
344
00:17:18,996 --> 00:17:20,205
it's gonna be
declared legal?
345
00:17:22,541 --> 00:17:24,001
Bet your ass.
346
00:17:27,838 --> 00:17:29,465
All right, that wasn't
the last question.
347
00:17:29,506 --> 00:17:31,050
This is:
348
00:17:31,091 --> 00:17:32,718
The W always has cabs
waiting outside.
349
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,219
You paid them not to be around,
didn't you?
350
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:36,889
What the hell do you think?
351
00:17:38,849 --> 00:17:41,477
But you, you weren't really as
drunk as you let on, were you?
352
00:17:41,518 --> 00:17:43,270
-What the hell do you think?
353
00:17:44,354 --> 00:17:45,898
I think...
354
00:17:45,939 --> 00:17:48,150
you're my new VC.
355
00:17:53,447 --> 00:17:55,407
That's what I think too.
356
00:18:02,331 --> 00:18:04,541
Guys, big news.
357
00:18:04,583 --> 00:18:07,211
Bill Gurley and Benchmark
is an investor.
358
00:18:08,253 --> 00:18:09,797
Okay.
359
00:18:09,838 --> 00:18:11,757
Well, that sounds--
that's good, right?
360
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:14,259
-Dad, like I just got
signed by the Dodgers.
-Hey, hey!
361
00:18:14,301 --> 00:18:16,345
Don't touch me, I'm too hot.
You're gonna burn yourself.
Like that!
362
00:18:16,386 --> 00:18:17,930
-Okay, mister.
363
00:18:17,971 --> 00:18:19,723
How about a hug hello
before you start braying?
364
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:21,391
He's excited.
365
00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:23,644
You used to get that way
when you closed a huge sale.
366
00:18:23,685 --> 00:18:25,938
That's why you were
such a killer.
367
00:18:25,979 --> 00:18:28,148
Well, I just want him to know
that he does not have to have
368
00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:29,650
good news
to come and visit.
369
00:18:29,691 --> 00:18:31,401
We're happy
to see you anytime.
370
00:18:31,443 --> 00:18:33,445
And we miss you.
371
00:18:33,487 --> 00:18:34,822
Okay.
372
00:18:34,863 --> 00:18:36,406
But, Trav, you are a killer.
373
00:18:36,448 --> 00:18:38,158
-Just like your mama.
374
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,369
This is--no, it's really big.
It's a big deal.
375
00:18:40,410 --> 00:18:42,704
Yeah, the press is gonna have to
write something nice about you
376
00:18:42,746 --> 00:18:44,414
for a change.
377
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:46,458
Uh-huh. Yeah, maybe not yet,
but they will.
378
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:47,918
Sounds good, though.
379
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,087
So how much of a piece
does this guy get?
380
00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:53,298
His company gets a chunk,
but the valuation goes up.
381
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:55,050
And I'm still
the majority owner, Dad.
382
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:57,052
How's Angie?
How come she's not here?
383
00:18:57,094 --> 00:18:59,388
Well, she, um...
384
00:18:59,429 --> 00:19:00,639
-Hey.
-What's up, big bro?
385
00:19:00,681 --> 00:19:01,807
How you doing, Cory?
386
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,018
Heard the next
Zuckerberg was in town,
387
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:07,146
-so I figured I'd come say hi.
-You say that with a tone of
388
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:08,814
sarcasm, but I bet Randi
Zuckerberg didn't.
389
00:19:08,856 --> 00:19:10,399
That's why she got
that big chunk of preferred
390
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,817
in the friends and family round.
391
00:19:11,859 --> 00:19:13,193
My piece is locked.
392
00:19:13,235 --> 00:19:14,444
Is it? Are you sure?
393
00:19:14,486 --> 00:19:16,321
-Trav!
-What? Me? Him?
394
00:19:16,363 --> 00:19:17,865
The fuck did I do?
395
00:19:17,906 --> 00:19:19,700
Fine, I'll be
your doting sister.
396
00:19:19,741 --> 00:19:21,869
I'll knit you a hoodie,
so you look just like him.
397
00:19:21,910 --> 00:19:24,454
Why don't we just
let it die, okay?
398
00:19:24,496 --> 00:19:26,373
Sure thing, Zuck.
399
00:19:26,415 --> 00:19:27,875
All right, enough.
400
00:19:27,916 --> 00:19:29,459
You know, your brother
just cut a big deal
401
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:31,253
to bankroll his company.
402
00:19:31,295 --> 00:19:33,046
-What, the cab thing?
-It's a capital investment.
403
00:19:33,088 --> 00:19:34,631
It's not a bankroll.
There's a difference.
404
00:19:34,673 --> 00:19:36,717
-Congrats, Trav. Sounds good.
-Thank you.
405
00:19:36,758 --> 00:19:38,760
You know,
Cory's kicking butt too.
406
00:19:38,802 --> 00:19:40,345
Cory, show him the thing.
407
00:19:40,387 --> 00:19:42,973
-Uh, no, it's silly.
-Oh, come on.
408
00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:45,475
-All right.
-What's that, a body cam?
409
00:19:45,517 --> 00:19:47,144
Yeah, the squad got them
from the company,
410
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:49,563
and we mounted them
to our helmets last shift.
411
00:19:49,605 --> 00:19:51,023
Look, look at that.
412
00:19:51,064 --> 00:19:52,733
Oh, the poor little thing
looks dead.
413
00:19:54,234 --> 00:19:56,320
No, look, it's coming around.
414
00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:59,448
A real American hero, huh?
415
00:19:59,489 --> 00:20:01,867
Yeah, how cool that both
of my boys are kicking ass.
416
00:20:01,909 --> 00:20:04,828
Yeah. You show that clip
to the ladies, watch out.
417
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:07,664
Oh, what would you know
about that, Donald?
418
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,958
-I used to.
419
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,627
All right.
420
00:20:11,668 --> 00:20:13,462
Breakfast is ready.
421
00:20:17,925 --> 00:20:19,968
Oh, Cory, do me a favor.
422
00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:22,387
Give me a copy of that clip.
I'd love to show it at work.
423
00:20:22,429 --> 00:20:23,889
Yeah, you should
send it to me too.
424
00:20:23,931 --> 00:20:24,848
I'm gonna show it
to people and be like,
425
00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:26,516
"I know that guy."
426
00:20:26,558 --> 00:20:28,435
That's what a supportive
brother does.
427
00:20:28,477 --> 00:20:30,687
Good, you can get in on the
friends and family sloppy joes
428
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:32,105
-down the station.
-Sweet.
429
00:20:32,147 --> 00:20:34,399
Cory, Trav,
430
00:20:34,441 --> 00:20:36,193
we have one family breakfast
431
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:38,570
every three months
at this point.
432
00:20:38,612 --> 00:20:41,073
Could we maybe chill
on the cage match?
433
00:21:01,051 --> 00:21:02,886
We have hardly
seen you lately.
434
00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:04,763
Where is my son
hiding you?
435
00:21:04,805 --> 00:21:07,015
-We've been busy.
- You work too hard.
436
00:21:07,057 --> 00:21:09,851
That's the problem
with you Silicon Valley types.
437
00:21:17,317 --> 00:21:19,611
Are you sure that
you're taking care of you
438
00:21:19,653 --> 00:21:21,697
and not just him?
439
00:21:21,738 --> 00:21:23,573
You know,
he can be pretty consuming.
440
00:21:23,615 --> 00:21:26,118
Yes, I know.
I'm okay. Really.
441
00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:27,786
-You sure?
-Mm-hmm.
442
00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:30,289
Welcome to the Rider
Appreciation Party.
443
00:21:30,330 --> 00:21:34,126
I am legit super pumped
to be here tonight
444
00:21:34,167 --> 00:21:36,003
and to be part
of this company.
445
00:21:37,838 --> 00:21:39,089
You know, I wish--
446
00:21:39,131 --> 00:21:41,341
I would be so happy
447
00:21:41,383 --> 00:21:44,761
if I could just make
all of your lives frictionless.
448
00:21:44,803 --> 00:21:47,597
Right? Can you imagine, like,
if you wanted a raise,
449
00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:49,683
and you didn't even have to say
anything to your boss,
450
00:21:49,725 --> 00:21:51,768
you just look at him and boom,
there it was.
451
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:53,312
-You know what I mean?
452
00:21:53,353 --> 00:21:55,647
Or like if you wanted a date,
just swipe right
453
00:21:55,689 --> 00:21:58,692
and there's the other party
in your room, down for whatever.
454
00:21:58,734 --> 00:22:00,110
Right?
455
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:01,737
-Now, unfortunately,
456
00:22:01,778 --> 00:22:04,489
I cannot control all of these
experiences, or not yet.
457
00:22:04,531 --> 00:22:07,826
But what I can control
is the experience
458
00:22:07,868 --> 00:22:10,912
of getting from one end of town
to the other end of town
459
00:22:10,954 --> 00:22:12,831
with no hassle on either end.
460
00:22:12,873 --> 00:22:14,458
You're in, you're out.
461
00:22:14,499 --> 00:22:16,168
You don't have to touch
your cash or your wallet
462
00:22:16,209 --> 00:22:17,502
or your credit card
or the driver.
463
00:22:17,544 --> 00:22:19,171
So drink up,
464
00:22:19,212 --> 00:22:22,341
because DUIs
are a thing of the past!
465
00:22:25,052 --> 00:22:26,261
Great time, you guys!
466
00:22:29,389 --> 00:22:31,808
Hey, thanks.
467
00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:33,477
-That was so good.
-Oh, thank you.
468
00:22:33,518 --> 00:22:35,020
Where's Cory?
469
00:22:35,062 --> 00:22:37,022
He, uh...
470
00:22:37,064 --> 00:22:39,858
Wow! Okay. I'm--
I'm gonna get some air.
471
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:41,777
-You want me to--?
-No. No, it's all right.
472
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:44,404
If you wanted Cory here,
473
00:22:44,446 --> 00:22:45,906
you could have
invited him directly.
474
00:22:45,947 --> 00:22:47,657
I invited all you guys.
475
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:49,201
Don't make everything a test.
476
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:51,036
It shouldn't fucking have to be.
477
00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:05,342
You're doing it
all wrong, son.
478
00:23:06,551 --> 00:23:07,719
You don't recognize me?
479
00:23:09,638 --> 00:23:11,765
My name's on some
correspondences
480
00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:14,059
that will put you
out of business.
481
00:23:14,101 --> 00:23:16,728
Oh. You're Pearson?
482
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:18,688
The transportation guy
for the city.
483
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:20,315
Pearson. Randall Pearson,
that's right.
484
00:23:20,357 --> 00:23:21,900
And I'm telling you,
you're fucking up.
485
00:23:21,942 --> 00:23:23,318
You know,
486
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:25,028
I've heard that so much
in my life.
487
00:23:25,070 --> 00:23:27,030
I should get it tattooed
on my ass and take a picture,
488
00:23:27,072 --> 00:23:28,573
make it my profile photo.
489
00:23:28,615 --> 00:23:30,075
But you know
what I'm gonna do instead?
490
00:23:30,117 --> 00:23:31,576
I'm gonna keep
building my company,
491
00:23:31,618 --> 00:23:33,495
and then you can get
an ass tattoo that says
492
00:23:33,537 --> 00:23:35,914
"Travis Kalanick
is a better man than me."
493
00:23:35,956 --> 00:23:37,666
No tattoos for me, thanks.
494
00:23:37,707 --> 00:23:39,334
'Cause I have some
personal pride.
495
00:23:39,376 --> 00:23:41,878
-Do you? Working where you work?
-Listen, Travis,
496
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,715
let's try and act sane
for maybe five minutes
497
00:23:45,757 --> 00:23:47,592
like a couple
of goddamn grownups?
498
00:23:49,094 --> 00:23:51,263
I represent some
very powerful individuals
499
00:23:51,304 --> 00:23:52,597
in the taxi
and livery business.
500
00:23:52,639 --> 00:23:54,433
People who don't take too kindly
501
00:23:54,474 --> 00:23:55,934
to their drivers
being stolen.
502
00:23:55,976 --> 00:23:58,311
Even less so when
it's their customers.
503
00:23:58,353 --> 00:24:01,231
You know, as the head of
the San Francisco Municipal
Transportation Agency,
504
00:24:01,273 --> 00:24:03,400
your mandate is to represent
the public,
505
00:24:03,442 --> 00:24:05,360
not powerful individuals.
506
00:24:05,402 --> 00:24:08,572
Yeah, well, the public interest
is served by having available
507
00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:11,116
and inexpensive taxicabs
readily av--
508
00:24:12,409 --> 00:24:13,618
Uh-huh.
509
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:15,912
Look, Travis,
510
00:24:15,954 --> 00:24:18,457
this can go
so hard for you.
511
00:24:18,498 --> 00:24:22,127
Buried in fines,
lawsuits, jail.
512
00:24:22,169 --> 00:24:26,423
Or you can win huge
with me.
513
00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:28,758
Give them your tech.
514
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,137
Put it in their cars,
in their fucking taxis.
515
00:24:32,179 --> 00:24:33,763
Join forces.
516
00:24:33,805 --> 00:24:36,224
They'll make it
real sweet for you.
517
00:24:36,266 --> 00:24:39,311
You'll end up controlling
so many medallions.
518
00:24:39,352 --> 00:24:42,939
They'll be jingling in
your pockets like loose change.
519
00:24:42,981 --> 00:24:45,984
I think this must have been
what it was like
520
00:24:46,026 --> 00:24:48,487
when Homo sapiens were
running around together
521
00:24:48,528 --> 00:24:50,322
with Neanderthals.
522
00:24:50,363 --> 00:24:53,492
You're asking me to trade
my fire for your fucking club.
523
00:24:53,533 --> 00:24:54,618
No, thanks.
524
00:24:54,659 --> 00:24:55,994
You're making a big mistake.
525
00:24:56,036 --> 00:24:57,662
I'll put that
on my other ass cheek.
526
00:25:06,087 --> 00:25:07,589
Yeah, no, I get it.
No the thing is,
527
00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:09,007
When I say I get it,
that means I get it.
528
00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:10,717
Okay.
529
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:12,385
This is the kid you're
interviewing for the job.
530
00:25:12,427 --> 00:25:13,970
Great. Pull up a chair.
531
00:25:15,013 --> 00:25:16,973
Here is my question for you.
532
00:25:17,015 --> 00:25:18,600
Are you an asshole?
533
00:25:18,642 --> 00:25:19,768
Sorry.
534
00:25:19,809 --> 00:25:22,270
-Are you the CEO?
-I am.
535
00:25:22,312 --> 00:25:23,647
This is an order
to cease and desist
536
00:25:23,688 --> 00:25:25,190
all taxi and livery operations.
537
00:25:25,232 --> 00:25:27,067
-You arresting me?
-Not at this time, sir.
538
00:25:27,108 --> 00:25:29,027
But if you continue
in violation of city ordinance,
539
00:25:29,069 --> 00:25:31,029
we'll be back.
540
00:25:35,992 --> 00:25:37,494
This is bad, TK.
541
00:25:37,536 --> 00:25:39,287
-This is a cease--
-We're not ceasing.
542
00:25:39,329 --> 00:25:41,206
- And desist--
-We're not desisting either.
543
00:25:41,248 --> 00:25:43,458
- It threatens up to--
-Yeah, I see.
544
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:45,043
There's penalties.
545
00:25:45,085 --> 00:25:48,380
Up to $5,000 per instance
of UberCabs operation.
546
00:25:48,421 --> 00:25:49,965
"Instance" meaning
each ride.
547
00:25:50,006 --> 00:25:51,967
Ninety days in jail
per day
548
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:53,885
the company remains in operation
past the order.
549
00:25:53,927 --> 00:25:55,345
That's me in jail?
550
00:25:55,387 --> 00:25:57,389
Yeah, that's you in jail, man.
551
00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:59,849
Anything you could sign
so it's you instead of me?
552
00:25:59,891 --> 00:26:01,685
Jesus, no.
553
00:26:01,726 --> 00:26:03,603
I-- I mean, I can-- No--
554
00:26:03,645 --> 00:26:05,397
I'm fucking kidding, Gil.
Don't worry about it.
555
00:26:05,438 --> 00:26:06,773
But I am more
Emerson than Thoreau.
556
00:26:06,815 --> 00:26:08,024
I do not want to go to jail.
557
00:26:11,278 --> 00:26:12,737
Hey, everybody!
558
00:26:12,779 --> 00:26:14,072
You heard about this already?
559
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:16,116
I want you to know this...
560
00:26:16,157 --> 00:26:19,494
truncheon of the
crooked establishment,
this object of fear,
561
00:26:19,536 --> 00:26:21,329
I want you to know this is not
our death warrant.
562
00:26:21,371 --> 00:26:23,415
This is our goddamn
birth certificate, okay?
563
00:26:23,456 --> 00:26:25,584
This means we are alive
in this world,
564
00:26:25,625 --> 00:26:27,168
and we are growing the fuck up.
565
00:26:27,210 --> 00:26:29,129
It's a sign of validation.
566
00:26:29,170 --> 00:26:30,505
And it's a sign
that we are scaring
567
00:26:30,547 --> 00:26:32,299
the taxi and livery industry,
568
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:34,009
and the transportation agency,
569
00:26:34,050 --> 00:26:36,094
and the status quo shitless.
570
00:26:36,136 --> 00:26:39,681
This is validation...
571
00:26:39,723 --> 00:26:42,434
of our standing as...
572
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:45,061
disruptors.
573
00:26:52,902 --> 00:26:55,447
Austin, how's it going
with our future drivers?
574
00:26:55,488 --> 00:26:56,698
You're getting them?
575
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:58,116
Got a bunch.
576
00:26:58,158 --> 00:26:59,743
Did you settle
with the city?
577
00:26:59,784 --> 00:27:01,411
Oh, no, no, we're
not settling with the city.
578
00:27:01,453 --> 00:27:02,787
We are taking this city!
579
00:27:02,829 --> 00:27:04,456
-Are you sure, TK?
580
00:27:04,497 --> 00:27:06,333
You know what they say
about fighting city hall.
581
00:27:06,374 --> 00:27:08,877
See, this is the thing
about changing the world.
582
00:27:08,918 --> 00:27:10,962
The world never wants to change.
583
00:27:11,004 --> 00:27:13,131
It's gonna dig in its heels
and tell you no
584
00:27:13,173 --> 00:27:15,258
and try to crush you.
585
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:18,386
Fortunately for us, we are in
the world-changing business.
586
00:27:18,428 --> 00:27:20,055
At least I am.
I was built for this!
587
00:27:20,096 --> 00:27:22,474
They want to fight?
Oh, I love to fight.
588
00:27:22,515 --> 00:27:24,976
You want to know
who wins fights?
589
00:27:25,018 --> 00:27:26,895
Whoever wants it more.
590
00:27:26,936 --> 00:27:30,148
And who do you think
wants this more?
591
00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:31,399
Them?
592
00:27:31,441 --> 00:27:33,109
Or me?
593
00:27:35,403 --> 00:27:37,238
Let's fucking go!
594
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,657
Come on!
595
00:27:41,534 --> 00:27:43,495
Let's fucking go!
596
00:27:49,834 --> 00:27:52,087
Let's fucking go!
597
00:27:54,547 --> 00:27:56,299
Penny, get me a meeting
with the mayor
598
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:57,926
and order more iPhones.
599
00:27:57,967 --> 00:27:59,928
We need to ratchet up
enlisting more drivers.
600
00:28:01,221 --> 00:28:03,556
Made me wise
601
00:28:07,477 --> 00:28:12,148
But I'm not
About to give thanks
602
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:17,153
Or apologize
603
00:28:17,195 --> 00:28:19,197
Shape up, boys.
604
00:28:19,239 --> 00:28:21,408
I need five minutes.
Nah, fuck that.
605
00:28:21,449 --> 00:28:24,119
You need the five minutes
that I'm about to give you.
606
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,704
What is this, huh?
607
00:28:25,745 --> 00:28:27,038
We don't have time.
608
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,915
Of course you don't have time...
609
00:28:28,957 --> 00:28:30,500
because you're
indentured servants...
610
00:28:30,542 --> 00:28:32,293
if you're human at all.
611
00:28:32,335 --> 00:28:34,254
Because really, you're more
like hamsters on a wheel.
612
00:28:34,295 --> 00:28:35,714
Who are you calling a rodent?
613
00:28:35,755 --> 00:28:37,298
No, no, no.
614
00:28:37,340 --> 00:28:39,843
You're making
yourselves rodents.
615
00:28:39,884 --> 00:28:43,304
Look, you got to run, run,
run all day long
616
00:28:43,346 --> 00:28:45,306
just to make enough fares
to cover your nut
617
00:28:45,348 --> 00:28:46,599
during your shift,
618
00:28:46,641 --> 00:28:47,976
with pissed-off customers
619
00:28:48,017 --> 00:28:49,894
because the commission
hiked the fares,
620
00:28:49,936 --> 00:28:51,896
or to pay off the loans
on your medallions,
621
00:28:51,938 --> 00:28:54,190
or the consortiums
that own the medallions
622
00:28:54,232 --> 00:28:55,734
on the hacks that you drive.
623
00:28:57,777 --> 00:28:59,362
Or to make enough
from the limo company
624
00:28:59,404 --> 00:29:01,072
so that your piece is enough
625
00:29:01,114 --> 00:29:04,617
so you can afford some
food pellets and wood shavings
626
00:29:04,659 --> 00:29:06,703
for your cages
at the end of the week.
627
00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:08,496
Tell me I'm wrong.
628
00:29:08,538 --> 00:29:10,874
So, yeah, you can.
629
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:13,835
You know, hustle out there
and get at it.
630
00:29:13,877 --> 00:29:17,672
Or you could stay here
for five minutes
631
00:29:17,714 --> 00:29:19,716
and hear about being
your own boss,
632
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:21,301
and driving with a company
633
00:29:21,342 --> 00:29:22,719
that's gonna change
your fucking lives.
634
00:29:29,309 --> 00:29:31,102
I could use a change.
635
00:29:32,395 --> 00:29:35,315
Enmity gauged
636
00:29:35,356 --> 00:29:37,650
United by fear
637
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:41,237
Time to endure
638
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:46,451
What I could not forgive
639
00:29:52,081 --> 00:29:53,458
We're making progress.
640
00:29:55,919 --> 00:29:57,420
I didn't say you were wrong.
641
00:29:57,462 --> 00:29:58,797
Just what you're saying
is irrelevant.
642
00:29:58,838 --> 00:30:00,006
Here.
643
00:30:01,508 --> 00:30:02,759
Mayor?
644
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:03,968
Nothing yet.
645
00:30:04,010 --> 00:30:05,303
Try again.
646
00:30:08,807 --> 00:30:10,934
We don't have to tell you
just how much in contributions
647
00:30:10,975 --> 00:30:12,310
our clients have made.
648
00:30:12,352 --> 00:30:13,728
No, you don't.
649
00:30:13,770 --> 00:30:15,063
Then you tell us something,
650
00:30:15,104 --> 00:30:16,481
like what you're gonna do,
651
00:30:16,523 --> 00:30:18,149
because right now,
this goddamn company
652
00:30:18,191 --> 00:30:20,902
is stealing drivers
from legitimate taxi and livery.
653
00:30:20,944 --> 00:30:23,238
It's chipping away
at a legacy business.
654
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:25,740
There are two jobs you want
in this city:
655
00:30:25,782 --> 00:30:27,784
the mayor's and mine.
656
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:30,995
I'm like Robert Moses
in The Old Man in Chinatown.
657
00:30:31,037 --> 00:30:32,997
You really think I'm gonna let
some tech weasel
658
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:34,833
grab my dick like a baton,
659
00:30:34,874 --> 00:30:36,459
twirl it around
in Golden Gate Park?
660
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:38,545
What's your next step then?
661
00:30:38,586 --> 00:30:41,714
What are you going to do?
Question mark.
662
00:30:41,756 --> 00:30:44,175
What I'm gonna do is drop
a thermonuclear device
663
00:30:44,217 --> 00:30:46,010
right on top of their heads.
664
00:30:46,052 --> 00:30:49,973
The San Francisco Municipal
Transportation Agency has those?
665
00:30:50,014 --> 00:30:51,558
Close enough.
666
00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:54,519
Right now, I expect
a duck-and-cover drill
667
00:30:54,561 --> 00:30:57,689
taking place
over there at UberCab,
668
00:30:57,730 --> 00:31:02,443
right before the mushroom cloud
turns them all into dust.
669
00:31:02,485 --> 00:31:05,738
Tough to have a car service
without any fucking drivers.
670
00:31:10,243 --> 00:31:11,536
All right, what?
671
00:31:11,578 --> 00:31:12,996
What's the emergency?
672
00:31:13,037 --> 00:31:14,330
It's the fucking drivers.
673
00:31:14,372 --> 00:31:15,707
They're defecting.
674
00:31:15,748 --> 00:31:17,208
That's what the incentives
are for.
675
00:31:17,250 --> 00:31:19,210
-Pay them more.
-Gil said we can't.
676
00:31:19,252 --> 00:31:21,713
And without those incentives,
they're leaving in droves.
677
00:31:21,754 --> 00:31:24,841
-They're going back to taxis.
-That's Randall fucking Pearson.
678
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:26,384
He's making his last stand.
679
00:31:26,426 --> 00:31:28,136
Gil, why are you cutting off
the incentives?
680
00:31:28,177 --> 00:31:30,138
Because we don't have
the money to pay them.
681
00:31:30,179 --> 00:31:33,182
And without drivers, we'll never
have any fucking money.
682
00:31:33,224 --> 00:31:35,476
-Right?
- He can't, TK.
683
00:31:35,518 --> 00:31:39,397
We don't have it. Our burn rate
is bleeding the company dry.
684
00:31:39,439 --> 00:31:41,774
Maybe it's time
we make a deal with Pearson.
685
00:31:41,816 --> 00:31:43,902
Maybe we do just license
our tech, combine our forces--
686
00:31:43,943 --> 00:31:46,404
Wait, wait. That's giving up.
Are you fucking insane?
687
00:31:46,446 --> 00:31:48,364
No, that's not insane.
That's reality.
688
00:31:48,406 --> 00:31:51,367
Because we're down to smoke
and mirrors and promises.
689
00:31:51,409 --> 00:31:54,412
I don't know how we're gonna
keep the lights on next month...
690
00:31:54,454 --> 00:31:55,872
Okay.
691
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:57,916
...unless we make some
kind of a deal
692
00:31:57,957 --> 00:31:59,334
-with the taxi commissi--
-Okay, okay.
693
00:32:01,336 --> 00:32:02,962
Okay.
694
00:32:04,422 --> 00:32:05,673
All right.
695
00:32:05,715 --> 00:32:07,967
We are not that kind
of company
696
00:32:08,009 --> 00:32:10,178
that just bends over
to the status quo.
697
00:32:10,219 --> 00:32:12,430
We fuck the status quo, right?
698
00:32:12,472 --> 00:32:16,517
Now, I'm hearing a lot about
what surrender looks like.
699
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:19,354
Looks like me on my knees with
Pearson pissing in my mouth.
700
00:32:19,395 --> 00:32:20,688
We're not doing that.
701
00:32:21,981 --> 00:32:23,441
Tell me what victory
looks like.
702
00:32:30,490 --> 00:32:34,702
Well, I guess we can't,
or we wouldn't be sitting here.
703
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:38,748
All right,
we're gonna take money
704
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:39,958
from other departments.
705
00:32:39,999 --> 00:32:41,209
We have.
706
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:47,465
Stop paying the vendors
just for a minute.
707
00:32:47,507 --> 00:32:48,716
Gurley.
708
00:32:50,510 --> 00:32:51,928
Go to him,
ask him for another check,
709
00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:53,471
just to ride us out
through this fight
710
00:32:53,513 --> 00:32:55,181
with San Francisco Transport.
711
00:32:59,394 --> 00:33:01,229
That's the one thing
I can't do.
712
00:33:02,397 --> 00:33:03,648
We'd look like fucking idiots.
713
00:33:03,690 --> 00:33:04,899
Or I would.
714
00:33:04,941 --> 00:33:06,776
Like we're failing.
715
00:33:06,818 --> 00:33:08,152
Because we are.
716
00:33:10,321 --> 00:33:11,489
So that's it?
717
00:33:12,782 --> 00:33:14,158
That's all you got for me?
718
00:33:16,536 --> 00:33:18,830
Buy a Powerball ticket. I...
719
00:33:18,871 --> 00:33:22,834
This company, my life,
720
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:24,794
is on the line here
right now,
721
00:33:24,836 --> 00:33:26,421
and you motherfuckers...
722
00:33:27,672 --> 00:33:30,341
Yeah, and all of you too!
723
00:33:30,383 --> 00:33:32,969
You just leave
everything to me, right?
724
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:34,679
You just come to work,
725
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:37,181
and you lounge around
with your thumbs up your ass.
726
00:33:37,223 --> 00:33:39,183
You don't do anything.
727
00:33:39,225 --> 00:33:41,352
You don't fucking
bleed for it.
728
00:33:41,394 --> 00:33:44,355
You're not--
you're not super pumped.
729
00:35:27,542 --> 00:35:29,460
Hi, Travis.
730
00:35:29,502 --> 00:35:31,045
Hey, Mom.
731
00:35:31,087 --> 00:35:32,296
What's going on?
732
00:35:32,338 --> 00:35:34,382
I was just thinking about Cory.
733
00:35:34,423 --> 00:35:36,634
How do you sleep at night,
him doing what he does?
734
00:35:36,676 --> 00:35:38,094
Well, once you have kids,
735
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:39,929
you don't really
sleep a full night again.
736
00:35:39,971 --> 00:35:42,306
You'll see that one day.
737
00:35:42,348 --> 00:35:43,683
Seriously, though.
738
00:35:46,352 --> 00:35:47,979
Seriously.
739
00:35:53,025 --> 00:35:55,653
This is not about Cory, huh?
740
00:36:04,453 --> 00:36:06,330
Yeah, I know, uh...
741
00:36:08,207 --> 00:36:09,375
I, um...
742
00:36:11,544 --> 00:36:12,753
I yelled.
743
00:36:12,795 --> 00:36:14,088
Aw.
744
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:15,923
At Angie?
745
00:36:15,965 --> 00:36:17,175
No.
746
00:36:17,216 --> 00:36:18,426
Everybody.
747
00:36:18,467 --> 00:36:20,219
Travis, you can't do that.
748
00:36:20,261 --> 00:36:22,221
-Aw.
-Yeah, I know.
749
00:36:22,263 --> 00:36:24,182
I don't-- I don't know
what the fuck's wrong with me.
750
00:36:24,223 --> 00:36:26,017
I don't know
why I keep doing that.
751
00:36:26,058 --> 00:36:29,145
It's just like why can't
they just watch what I do
752
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:31,314
and do what I say and--
753
00:36:31,355 --> 00:36:33,274
and believe what I know,
754
00:36:33,316 --> 00:36:36,819
and why can't they just
fucking trust me?
755
00:36:39,655 --> 00:36:40,865
What did you yell about?
756
00:36:43,242 --> 00:36:45,286
We're up against it.
757
00:36:45,328 --> 00:36:48,372
I thought the company
was doing great.
758
00:36:48,414 --> 00:36:50,124
It is, kind of,
759
00:36:50,166 --> 00:36:51,667
but there's this thing
called burn rate,
760
00:36:51,709 --> 00:36:53,544
and, um...
761
00:36:54,754 --> 00:36:55,922
Yeah.
762
00:37:00,593 --> 00:37:02,136
I need more money.
763
00:37:02,178 --> 00:37:03,387
Like, now.
764
00:37:06,933 --> 00:37:08,851
Can you go to a bank?
765
00:37:08,893 --> 00:37:11,437
No. Not for this much, no.
766
00:37:11,479 --> 00:37:13,439
What about your investor,
Gurley?
767
00:37:20,279 --> 00:37:21,822
You have not asked him?
768
00:37:24,617 --> 00:37:27,119
No. No, I can't go to him.
769
00:37:30,665 --> 00:37:32,041
If I went to him right now,
770
00:37:32,083 --> 00:37:33,334
he would just think
I was a fuckup.
771
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:34,961
He'd see these numbers...
772
00:37:36,379 --> 00:37:37,672
and he'd just shut me down
773
00:37:37,713 --> 00:37:39,090
and probably sell me off
for parts.
774
00:37:46,222 --> 00:37:50,601
Okay, your brother is great
at the thing he does.
775
00:37:50,643 --> 00:37:52,270
It's a straightforward thing.
776
00:37:52,311 --> 00:37:55,606
Hard to do, easy to measure.
Your thing isn't.
777
00:37:55,648 --> 00:37:57,942
But you're also great at it.
778
00:37:57,984 --> 00:38:00,695
You brought
this Bill Gurley in,
779
00:38:00,736 --> 00:38:02,947
you built a company
that he liked.
780
00:38:02,989 --> 00:38:06,659
So now, you got to do
what Cory does with his guys.
781
00:38:06,701 --> 00:38:09,495
You got to treat him like
you're all on the same team.
782
00:38:09,537 --> 00:38:13,249
You know, tell him what's going
on and what you need.
783
00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:15,793
What if he says no?
784
00:38:15,835 --> 00:38:20,131
Sometimes, to get what you want,
you got to give what you want.
785
00:38:20,172 --> 00:38:22,967
You're wondering
why they don't trust you.
786
00:38:23,009 --> 00:38:24,760
Well, believe me,
787
00:38:24,802 --> 00:38:27,596
they're wondering the
same thing about you.
788
00:38:27,638 --> 00:38:32,601
Why should Bill Gurley trust you
if you don't trust him?
789
00:38:47,450 --> 00:38:49,285
The burn rate.
790
00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:51,954
I'm, uh, hesitant
to talk about it.
791
00:38:51,996 --> 00:38:53,205
I can see that.
792
00:38:54,957 --> 00:38:57,126
Also, I wanted to come here
793
00:38:57,168 --> 00:38:59,670
and have a conversation
face-to-face about it.
794
00:38:59,712 --> 00:39:03,716
Um, the money we are spending--
795
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:05,760
spent, we spent it, I did.
796
00:39:07,178 --> 00:39:08,888
Is to get the riders
in the car--
797
00:39:08,929 --> 00:39:12,183
All startups that are expanding
go through serious burn.
798
00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:15,394
What are we
dealing with here?
799
00:39:15,436 --> 00:39:17,813
I'm reluctant
to say the numbers.
800
00:39:20,066 --> 00:39:22,276
Um, here...
801
00:39:33,913 --> 00:39:35,706
Well, Jesus.
802
00:39:35,748 --> 00:39:39,043
I can see why you would think
that's unsustainable.
803
00:39:39,085 --> 00:39:40,252
Is that what you think?
804
00:39:43,214 --> 00:39:46,300
I think that top sheet's about
as ugly as a horned toad's ass.
805
00:39:46,342 --> 00:39:48,177
That sounds ugly.
806
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:50,721
You ever seen
a horned toad's ass?
807
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,476
Can you picture
Joakim Noah's jumper?
808
00:39:57,019 --> 00:39:58,687
Fugly. Yeah.
809
00:39:58,729 --> 00:40:00,689
This is like that.
810
00:40:00,731 --> 00:40:02,400
You're wondering
whether this is the moment
811
00:40:02,441 --> 00:40:04,652
I shoot you or sell
your company for parts?
812
00:40:04,693 --> 00:40:07,154
Yeah, just hearing you
say those words--
813
00:40:07,196 --> 00:40:10,074
You know, if I don't
give you this funding,
814
00:40:10,116 --> 00:40:11,867
the people you work with,
they're gonna start
815
00:40:11,909 --> 00:40:13,911
updating their résumés and
they are gonna light out.
816
00:40:13,953 --> 00:40:16,414
Hell, even if I do,
they probably already started.
817
00:40:16,455 --> 00:40:18,249
So let me ask you, is that you?
818
00:40:18,290 --> 00:40:20,668
Smart, talented guy.
819
00:40:20,709 --> 00:40:22,503
Are you looking
for a soft spot to land?
820
00:40:22,545 --> 00:40:24,922
Me? No fucking way.
821
00:40:24,964 --> 00:40:27,007
No, this is the hill I die on.
822
00:40:27,049 --> 00:40:29,677
There is no other company
startup or otherwise for me.
823
00:40:29,718 --> 00:40:31,220
This is all I've got.
824
00:40:31,262 --> 00:40:34,056
Good. What did I tell you
from the beginning?
825
00:40:34,098 --> 00:40:35,641
No way I sell it out.
826
00:40:35,683 --> 00:40:37,268
-Is that because I'm a good guy?
827
00:40:37,309 --> 00:40:39,395
No. I mean, I am a good guy.
828
00:40:39,437 --> 00:40:41,939
-That's not the reason.
829
00:40:41,981 --> 00:40:44,275
Does the heroin dealer giveaway
the first taste of his product
830
00:40:44,316 --> 00:40:47,486
out of the goodness
of his heart for free?
831
00:40:47,528 --> 00:40:49,780
No, he does not.
832
00:40:49,822 --> 00:40:51,115
This is that.
833
00:40:51,157 --> 00:40:52,783
We put as much money
as we need to
834
00:40:52,825 --> 00:40:54,827
into getting people
into those cars,
835
00:40:54,869 --> 00:40:56,120
and we got them.
836
00:40:56,162 --> 00:40:58,289
We charge anything we want.
837
00:40:58,330 --> 00:41:00,624
Cigarettes, the best
business in the world
838
00:41:00,666 --> 00:41:02,001
till people start getting sued
839
00:41:02,042 --> 00:41:03,419
and having to pay
for the settlements.
840
00:41:03,461 --> 00:41:05,588
But what we're
doing with UberCab
841
00:41:05,629 --> 00:41:07,965
sure as hell isn't giving
anyone cancer.
842
00:41:08,007 --> 00:41:09,758
So you're gonna keep
bankrolling us?
843
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,677
-You're gonna come in for more?
-Grow or die.
844
00:41:14,013 --> 00:41:17,808
Listen, it wasn't easy,
you coming in here like this.
845
00:41:17,850 --> 00:41:19,435
I get that.
846
00:41:19,477 --> 00:41:21,604
And I appreciate it.
847
00:41:21,645 --> 00:41:23,647
I respect that.
848
00:41:23,689 --> 00:41:25,065
We're partners.
849
00:41:25,107 --> 00:41:26,817
And you got your check.
850
00:41:26,859 --> 00:41:28,027
Thank you.
851
00:41:31,363 --> 00:41:32,823
I want you to have something.
852
00:41:34,366 --> 00:41:36,660
A full access card.
853
00:41:36,702 --> 00:41:39,205
You come and go at
UberCab as you please.
854
00:41:39,246 --> 00:41:40,539
You're one of us.
855
00:41:45,085 --> 00:41:46,337
Travis.
856
00:41:46,378 --> 00:41:47,838
This money...
857
00:41:49,256 --> 00:41:50,591
it'll only go so far.
858
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:53,844
This is the last of it.
859
00:41:57,014 --> 00:41:59,308
You hardly touched
your bento box.
860
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:00,893
Yes, I'm sorry.
861
00:42:00,935 --> 00:42:02,603
You usually crush the tempura,
not even that.
862
00:42:04,063 --> 00:42:05,356
Just not hungry.
863
00:42:05,397 --> 00:42:07,316
You sounded
so excited earlier
864
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:08,901
after talking to Gurley.
865
00:42:08,943 --> 00:42:10,653
Yeah, guess it wore off.
866
00:42:10,694 --> 00:42:12,029
Reality set in.
867
00:42:14,406 --> 00:42:16,158
Why don't you leave this
here and come home?
868
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,118
-Get a few hours sleep--
-Nah, sorry.
869
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,829
I'm just gonna stay till I can
think of a way to take the city.
870
00:42:20,871 --> 00:42:22,665
This is our
proof-of-concept moment.
871
00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:24,708
You know, last go-round before
we're out of dry powder,
872
00:42:24,750 --> 00:42:28,712
and the mayor
won't even talk to me.
873
00:42:31,090 --> 00:42:34,385
Look, you know your history.
874
00:42:34,426 --> 00:42:35,928
And you know people.
875
00:42:38,889 --> 00:42:41,475
Reagan showing strength
to Gorbachev in Geneva
876
00:42:41,517 --> 00:42:44,603
by going without his coat
in the freezing cold, right?
877
00:42:46,063 --> 00:42:47,940
Gates promising
he'd deliver the OS
878
00:42:47,982 --> 00:42:50,359
before he even started it.
879
00:42:50,401 --> 00:42:53,237
Hamilton agreeing to move
the actual White House.
880
00:42:56,991 --> 00:42:58,867
Power is fluid.
881
00:43:00,494 --> 00:43:02,329
Use that.
882
00:43:04,623 --> 00:43:05,791
Use all of it.
883
00:43:55,633 --> 00:43:56,925
The riders.
884
00:43:59,011 --> 00:44:00,304
They're not just
what we need.
885
00:44:00,346 --> 00:44:01,805
They are our power.
886
00:44:01,847 --> 00:44:04,141
We enlist them
against the politicians.
887
00:44:04,183 --> 00:44:05,684
Get the mayor to talk to me?
888
00:44:05,726 --> 00:44:07,561
No, he's gonna beg me
to talk to him.
889
00:44:07,603 --> 00:44:09,438
We need to let
those fuckers in office know
890
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,066
that the voters
are with us.
891
00:44:12,107 --> 00:44:14,234
What do you do when
you get kicked in the balls
892
00:44:14,276 --> 00:44:15,819
by a hobnailed boot?
893
00:44:15,861 --> 00:44:17,446
Roll around and groan?
894
00:44:17,488 --> 00:44:18,906
Well, the motherfuckers
who run startups,
895
00:44:18,947 --> 00:44:20,574
this motherfucker,
896
00:44:20,616 --> 00:44:23,327
eats it with a smile
and keeps on going.
897
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,128
I'm at peace, I'm the man
898
00:44:33,170 --> 00:44:36,840
Buying stocks on the day
Of the crash, yeah
899
00:44:36,882 --> 00:44:39,843
On the loose, I'm a truck
900
00:44:39,885 --> 00:44:43,430
All the rolling hills
I'll flatten them out, yeah
901
00:44:45,015 --> 00:44:46,767
More petitions coming in.
902
00:44:49,645 --> 00:44:51,188
Uh-huh
903
00:44:51,230 --> 00:44:53,857
It's evolution, baby
904
00:44:58,904 --> 00:45:00,656
There's no top.
905
00:45:00,698 --> 00:45:02,366
We didn't have enough
to fill the last boxes.
906
00:45:02,408 --> 00:45:04,952
Yeah, but still,
that's a lot of signatures.
907
00:45:04,993 --> 00:45:07,705
Yeah, but a pyramid
has to have a point.
908
00:45:23,262 --> 00:45:25,055
Really, TK? Ringers?
909
00:45:25,097 --> 00:45:26,849
-Yeah.
- What if they check?
910
00:45:26,890 --> 00:45:28,892
Then we become baristas.
911
00:45:28,934 --> 00:45:30,811
Well, shit,
I already tried that.
912
00:45:30,853 --> 00:45:32,855
Didn't really work out.
913
00:45:32,896 --> 00:45:34,565
Point.
914
00:45:34,606 --> 00:45:36,233
Okay.
915
00:45:38,944 --> 00:45:41,071
You said it loud and clear
with these petitions.
916
00:45:41,113 --> 00:45:42,823
Now, say it even louder.
917
00:45:42,865 --> 00:45:44,575
Let us ride!
918
00:45:44,616 --> 00:45:47,494
Let us ride! Let us ride!
919
00:45:47,536 --> 00:45:48,996
Let us ride!
920
00:45:49,037 --> 00:45:50,247
The mayor
is willing to meet.
921
00:45:50,289 --> 00:45:51,498
Yes.
922
00:45:52,624 --> 00:45:53,834
I'm going in!
923
00:45:57,129 --> 00:45:59,256
Don't worry,
I have prepped the mayor
924
00:45:59,298 --> 00:46:03,010
as to exactly how we feel
about your little enterprise.
925
00:46:04,261 --> 00:46:06,305
But at the risk
of having you
926
00:46:06,346 --> 00:46:09,183
clutter up our offices
any further,
927
00:46:09,224 --> 00:46:11,268
I figured I'd say hello.
928
00:46:11,310 --> 00:46:12,978
And a quick goodbye,
929
00:46:13,020 --> 00:46:14,438
because as Mr. Pearson said--
930
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,064
Horseshit.
931
00:46:19,777 --> 00:46:21,487
There were piles of it
all along the streets
932
00:46:21,528 --> 00:46:23,280
of this fine city, from Lombard
down to Lincoln Way.
933
00:46:23,322 --> 00:46:25,073
Literally horseshit.
934
00:46:25,115 --> 00:46:29,369
Until the horse and carriage
got replaced by the streetcar.
935
00:46:29,411 --> 00:46:32,456
You don't think those teamsters
were bitching back then?
936
00:46:32,498 --> 00:46:34,625
Because they were,
but John Geary,
937
00:46:34,666 --> 00:46:37,211
the first mayor of this town,
he saw the future.
938
00:46:37,252 --> 00:46:39,046
And he made it so.
939
00:46:39,087 --> 00:46:40,756
Of course, the future
doesn't last, right?
940
00:46:40,798 --> 00:46:42,424
And pretty soon,
Jitneys came into fashion,
941
00:46:42,466 --> 00:46:44,468
which obliterated
the cable car,
942
00:46:44,510 --> 00:46:46,220
turned it into
a tourist attraction.
943
00:46:46,261 --> 00:46:49,056
But that's because
the mayor then, James Rolph,
944
00:46:49,097 --> 00:46:51,099
he saw that for a nickel,
945
00:46:51,141 --> 00:46:53,894
you could take a Jitney anywhere
you wanted to go in the city.
946
00:46:53,936 --> 00:46:56,104
As long as you don't mind riding
along with some other lugs
947
00:46:56,146 --> 00:46:57,898
and stopping
wherever they want to stop,
948
00:46:57,940 --> 00:47:00,943
which is why the Jitney gave way
to the buses and the BART,
949
00:47:00,984 --> 00:47:03,195
and of course,
taxicabs, right?
950
00:47:03,237 --> 00:47:06,824
Blessed taxis, in which you can
ride princely and alone
951
00:47:06,865 --> 00:47:08,200
as long as the meter
is running.
952
00:47:08,242 --> 00:47:10,494
And as long
as the medallion owner
953
00:47:10,536 --> 00:47:13,705
and the San Francisco Municipal
Transportation Agency
954
00:47:13,747 --> 00:47:15,332
takes their bites.
955
00:47:17,334 --> 00:47:20,754
So for a while times were fat,
and everybody ate.
956
00:47:20,796 --> 00:47:23,257
But just like all those other
modes of transport,
957
00:47:23,298 --> 00:47:25,175
eventually the dying day comes.
958
00:47:25,217 --> 00:47:29,596
And that is where we are today
with Mayor Ed Lee in charge,
959
00:47:29,638 --> 00:47:32,182
and now it's his chance
to glimpse the future,
960
00:47:32,224 --> 00:47:33,517
usher it in,
961
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:35,018
because this is what
we are offering.
962
00:47:35,060 --> 00:47:37,437
This is the future
of passenger traveling
963
00:47:37,479 --> 00:47:40,065
in a private vehicle for a fee
964
00:47:40,107 --> 00:47:42,192
driven by a private citizen
who earns that fee.
965
00:47:42,234 --> 00:47:45,654
It is winners and commerce
on both sides of the equation.
966
00:47:46,989 --> 00:47:48,991
The question
you have to ask yourself is:
967
00:47:49,032 --> 00:47:51,118
Does Mayor Ed Lee wanna
go down in the history books
968
00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:52,870
as an innovator,
969
00:47:52,911 --> 00:47:55,038
or does he want to let
these beautiful streets
970
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,458
of San Francisco get flooded
with horseshit one more time?
971
00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:00,294
Because that is what the SFMTA
972
00:48:00,335 --> 00:48:01,587
and the taxi lobbies
are peddling.
973
00:48:02,671 --> 00:48:03,797
Horseshit.
974
00:48:27,988 --> 00:48:30,616
The city has been taken!
975
00:48:38,248 --> 00:48:39,708
Great. That's great.
976
00:48:39,750 --> 00:48:41,585
Full stop. But--
977
00:48:41,627 --> 00:48:43,670
Okay, wait, you can't say
"full stop" and then say "but."
978
00:48:43,712 --> 00:48:44,963
That's...
979
00:48:45,005 --> 00:48:47,215
But what about the fines?
980
00:48:47,257 --> 00:48:49,718
No, dude,
the mayor loves us now.
981
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,887
He's gonna push legislation
our way, all right?
982
00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:53,722
Future fines unlikely.
983
00:48:53,764 --> 00:48:57,100
Great. So prior fines?
984
00:48:57,142 --> 00:48:59,394
Pearson was there.
985
00:48:59,436 --> 00:49:02,981
I think he thinks
we still owe the money.
986
00:49:03,023 --> 00:49:04,816
Oh. What'd he say?
987
00:49:04,858 --> 00:49:07,277
"You still owe
the fucking money."
988
00:49:08,612 --> 00:49:10,530
Great.
989
00:49:12,991 --> 00:49:15,577
I think this is gonna be a great
thing for the both of you.
990
00:49:15,619 --> 00:49:17,204
For everybody.
991
00:49:22,125 --> 00:49:24,628
Full access? Nice.
992
00:49:24,670 --> 00:49:27,756
That's the kind of relationship
I build with all my founders.
993
00:49:27,798 --> 00:49:30,509
If the door isn't open
to me and vice versa,
994
00:49:30,550 --> 00:49:32,177
something's wrong.
995
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:38,934
So, what does Travis
think of this?
996
00:49:38,976 --> 00:49:41,478
We'll find out
when I tell him.
997
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,188
Look, if we do
what you're saying,
998
00:49:43,230 --> 00:49:44,982
-and we pay these fines--
-Yeah, and if we don't,
999
00:49:45,023 --> 00:49:47,025
we're right back in those waters
where we drown.
1000
00:49:47,067 --> 00:49:48,819
-Okay, well I'm not paying them.
-Then they're gonna take
1001
00:49:48,860 --> 00:49:50,487
the fixtures off the ceiling
to sell them.
1002
00:49:50,529 --> 00:49:52,155
We're in a vise.
1003
00:49:52,197 --> 00:49:53,949
Whoop. There it is.
1004
00:49:55,534 --> 00:49:56,743
Perfect.
1005
00:49:56,785 --> 00:49:58,036
Come on in.
1006
00:49:58,078 --> 00:49:59,413
Might as well do this
1007
00:49:59,454 --> 00:50:01,123
while we still have
office furniture.
1008
00:50:01,164 --> 00:50:02,791
Sit down.
Where did we leave off?
1009
00:50:02,833 --> 00:50:05,085
You asked me a question
1010
00:50:05,127 --> 00:50:06,503
that I didn't have
a chance to answer.
1011
00:50:06,545 --> 00:50:08,296
Great. And what is the answer?
1012
00:50:08,338 --> 00:50:10,507
Hey, I understand
congratulations are in order.
1013
00:50:10,549 --> 00:50:13,176
Bill. Yes, they are.
1014
00:50:13,218 --> 00:50:15,095
Good to see you.
1015
00:50:16,555 --> 00:50:18,098
Who's this?
1016
00:50:18,140 --> 00:50:19,850
This is the answer
to your burn rate problem.
1017
00:50:19,891 --> 00:50:22,811
Meet Emil Michael,
best dealmaker in the valley,
1018
00:50:22,853 --> 00:50:24,688
and your new raise wingman.
1019
00:50:26,398 --> 00:50:28,692
Now that you've, uh,
taken over San Francisco,
1020
00:50:28,734 --> 00:50:31,486
it's time that we, uh,
go to the outside investors,
1021
00:50:31,528 --> 00:50:33,155
tackle the other cities.
1022
00:50:33,196 --> 00:50:35,198
Grow or die, right?
1023
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:38,410
Welcome aboard.
1024
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,664
Bill, thank you so much.
1025
00:50:42,706 --> 00:50:44,708
Your support is--
1026
00:50:44,750 --> 00:50:46,376
it's just always
so appreciated.
1027
00:50:46,418 --> 00:50:48,253
Anything I can do to help.
1028
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:49,671
Take care.
1029
00:50:50,881 --> 00:50:52,591
I'll let you get to it.
1030
00:51:09,858 --> 00:51:11,359
What the fuck are you
really doing here?
1031
00:51:11,401 --> 00:51:13,487
You a spy?
You here to replace me?
1032
00:51:13,528 --> 00:51:15,030
Whoa, I'm...
1033
00:51:15,072 --> 00:51:16,907
I'm just here to help,
like Bill said.
1034
00:51:16,948 --> 00:51:18,325
Yeah, I've heard
that bullshit before.
1035
00:51:18,366 --> 00:51:19,743
It's not happening
in my company.
1036
00:51:21,953 --> 00:51:24,247
I don't expect
you to trust me.
1037
00:51:24,289 --> 00:51:25,957
I expect you to test me.
1038
00:51:28,543 --> 00:51:29,753
Give me that.
1039
00:51:32,130 --> 00:51:34,382
We have to respond to this
bullshit by end of business,
1040
00:51:34,424 --> 00:51:36,927
or else this company
that you're spying on right now
1041
00:51:36,968 --> 00:51:38,136
won't exist anymore.
1042
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,725
What do you got?
You're this big dealmaker.
1043
00:51:43,767 --> 00:51:45,102
You make us a deal,
1044
00:51:45,143 --> 00:51:46,603
get us out from under
these fines,
1045
00:51:46,645 --> 00:51:48,647
settle us out,
pennies on the dollar, what?
1046
00:51:54,945 --> 00:51:58,657
The San Francisco MTA
regulates taxicabs.
1047
00:51:58,698 --> 00:52:03,995
And so, yeah, UberCab
is up to its ass in fines
1048
00:52:04,037 --> 00:52:06,414
and facing
existential threat.
1049
00:52:14,297 --> 00:52:15,632
- Gil?
- Yeah?
1050
00:52:15,674 --> 00:52:17,884
UberCab,
1051
00:52:17,926 --> 00:52:20,137
and all of its corresponding
regulatory problems
1052
00:52:20,178 --> 00:52:23,098
and liabilities
is hereby shut down,
1053
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:24,641
inoperative and defunct.
1054
00:52:27,519 --> 00:52:29,062
Okay.
1055
00:52:29,104 --> 00:52:30,480
Why didn't I think of that?
1056
00:52:30,522 --> 00:52:32,274
A crucial question
for another day, Gil.
1057
00:52:32,315 --> 00:52:34,067
So we're not
a cab company anymore?
1058
00:52:34,109 --> 00:52:35,986
You never were.
1059
00:52:37,529 --> 00:52:39,322
So no cab regulators can reg us.
1060
00:52:39,364 --> 00:52:40,574
Sharp.
1061
00:52:41,366 --> 00:52:42,909
Ginsu sharp, yeah.
1062
00:52:42,951 --> 00:52:45,078
We are a ride-sharing service.
1063
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:46,746
-They're gonna say that's fraud.
1064
00:52:46,788 --> 00:52:48,790
-I mean, it might be fraud.
-Why?
1065
00:52:48,832 --> 00:52:50,375
Because I'm not willing
to recognize
1066
00:52:50,417 --> 00:52:52,294
that some taxi authority
has jurisdiction over us?
1067
00:52:52,335 --> 00:52:53,962
Let them call it fraud
and you know what?
1068
00:52:54,004 --> 00:52:57,549
To the end, Gil,
re-paper us as a new entity
1069
00:52:57,591 --> 00:52:58,800
called Uber.
1070
00:53:02,762 --> 00:53:04,181
Uber... what?
1071
00:53:04,222 --> 00:53:05,432
Yeah.
1072
00:53:05,473 --> 00:53:08,018
Nothing. Just Uber.
1073
00:53:11,730 --> 00:53:13,940
When I came into this,
I was ready to break shit,
1074
00:53:13,982 --> 00:53:16,109
because that is what
revolution requires.
1075
00:53:16,151 --> 00:53:18,028
But you know what?
I forgot that for a second.
1076
00:53:18,069 --> 00:53:21,364
But our new friend Emil here
just reminded me.
1077
00:53:25,577 --> 00:53:26,953
-Go.
-Okay.
1078
00:53:34,544 --> 00:53:36,546
I'm supposed
to say yes, aren't I?
1079
00:53:38,006 --> 00:53:40,467
That I'm an asshole.
1080
00:53:45,180 --> 00:53:46,890
Well, I am.
1081
00:53:46,932 --> 00:53:48,391
I'm an asshole.
1082
00:53:54,898 --> 00:53:56,775
That's the right answer.
1083
00:53:56,816 --> 00:53:59,236
Because if you're not,
you'll never make it at Uber.
1084
00:54:04,157 --> 00:54:07,577
We should hire this guy up.
1085
00:54:07,619 --> 00:54:09,537
Kelsey, can you bring him
to Gil?
1086
00:54:09,579 --> 00:54:12,332
Make sure he signs an NDA.
1087
00:54:12,374 --> 00:54:13,708
Congratulations.
1088
00:54:14,334 --> 00:54:16,211
Go.
1089
00:54:19,172 --> 00:54:20,799
All right, bro,
are you ready?
1090
00:54:23,510 --> 00:54:26,054
'Cause next, we're taking
New York, and then Paris,
1091
00:54:26,096 --> 00:54:30,183
then Berlin, then Mumbai,
and then Tokyo,
1092
00:54:30,225 --> 00:54:32,894
and then rest
of the fucking world.
1093
00:54:32,936 --> 00:54:35,605
Then we take Berlin
1094
00:54:42,487 --> 00:54:45,448
I'm guided by a signal
1095
00:54:45,490 --> 00:54:47,617
In the heavens
1096
00:54:50,245 --> 00:54:53,415
I'm guided by
This birthmark
1097
00:54:53,456 --> 00:54:54,958
On my skin
1098
00:54:57,961 --> 00:55:00,964
I'm guided by the beauty
1099
00:55:01,006 --> 00:55:03,800
Of our weapons
1100
00:55:05,844 --> 00:55:08,596
First we take Manhattan
1101
00:55:11,975 --> 00:55:14,477
Then we take Berlin
1102
00:55:17,897 --> 00:55:22,694
I'd really like to live
Beside you, baby
