he's gone.

-How's Ali doing, today?

-Freaking out.

Obviously.

-Oh, Ali, Jesus.

So sorry to hear the news.

-At least you didn't waste
eight years at this company,

like yours truly.

-Yes, it's very sad.

-Got that right.

Oh, do you mean Laurence?

Yeah, that's -- It's very sad.

-And also what it's doing
to morale out there.

And there are executives runningaround like headless chickens,

sending out their CVs...

-Maybe I should just go home.

You could join me...

-You don't have time for that.

-Why not?

-Because you're the only one
who can run this company.

Might be your last opportunity
to be company president.

-Oh, okay. I would --

I wouldn't become the president.-Yes, you will.

-No, because there's like eight
other executives ahead of me.

-But they're all men.

Now, if you were on the board,

dealing with
a sexual-harassment scandal,

would you want to be
looking to a man to take over?

-Oh, my God.

-What could we, um...

You should call every line
producer we're working with.

Tell them that
nothing has changed.

Production calendars,
call times,

they all stay right on schedule.

Then you should send
an inspiring e-mail

to the whole company --
-Wait, wait.

This -- This is --
-And don't call it a scandal.

It's a tragedy.

"Our hearts go out to the poor
women who have been victimized.

And also to Laurence,

who is a victim of
his own tortured mind..."

We should write this down.

"Why would I keep looking
for actors to represent

when the best actor I have
ever seen is my wife?"

-What?

-No, why would I
bust my ass trying to

get somebody else a job
when I can do that for you?

-No, I have an agent.

-Not a manager.

-Uh, well...
Maybe we should...

finish this job
before we start talking --

-See, that is why actors
do not represent themselves.

no, international news

watch women taking shits?

women sitting on the toilet.

I don't think
it was specifically

that they were...doing shits.
-Yeah, that's what I thought.

-Okay. And if the board wants
a female president,

which, admittedly, makes sense,
they're gonna want a name.

Dana Walden, Nancy Cotton --

-Have any of those women been
working here for eight years?

Do they know the nuts and bolts
on every project?

-Where the bodies are buried.

-No, they --

No, they don't,
and you need to point that out.

You need to go to Hamilton's
and to talk to --

What's his name?
-Charles Kerriman.

-You need to tell him to promotea CEO from within.

Someone with dedication,
passion, and loyalty.
