Poppy, there you are. Good. Listen up.

Where else would I be? I'm stuck here.

I worked with you for too long, and now
I'm too crazy to work anywhere else.

This isn't a job.

It's a prison.

Oh! These are prison bars.

Yeah.
I didn't get what you were going for.

I feel like if you just add
a little bit more shading in here

then that would probably do it.

- Sure.
- Great.

What do you want, Ian?

Listen, Pop, I know that these past
few days have been a little bit...

weird. But...

I just wanna let you know that
I've been thinking about it and I...

I have two words that
I think are going to change everything.

Blood Ocean.

What is that?

I don't know. But it's cool, right?

I just came up with it, so...

Why are you so happy?

Didn't you just have
a massively unsuccessful reunion

with your estranged son?

And now you come bouncing in here
wanting to talk about a new feature.

Is it a feature? I mean,
maybe it's a weapon! Or a new biome.

Ooh, maybe it's a way for you to deflect
from having to deal with your emotions.

No. No, I'm not deflecting, all right?

I am focusing on the one thing
that actually matters. The game.

Great. Well, when you figure out
what Blood Ocean is,

come in here and tell me,
and I'll code it,

because I have no control over my work
or my life.

I'm just trapped here.

Great! Yes. I love this new attitude,
Poppy. I'm very excited.

I'm just gonna noodle.
I'll get back to you.

Oh, Pop. I just...
[taps glass]

just had one small idea.

If you just separated these bars
a little bit more,

I think people would actually know
what you're going for.

Great. Okay. Cool.

[theme music playing]

[typing]

Work harder! [chuckles] Just kidding.

Uh, hey, guys. Fellas and Michelle.

Can I get everyone's attention?
Uh, listen.

It's no secret that we have had
an incredible year here at Mythic Quest,

and management wanted
to give you guys something special

to let you know how much
we appreciate all your hard work.

We're getting bonuses?

Well, no. No. But you are getting this.

Jo?

[ice-cream truck song plays]

Ding-a-ling-a-ling! Ice-cream man!

Guys, I got you an ice-cream machine! Huh?

And you can eat
as much soft serve as you want.

And none of that Froyo crap. I mean,
this is the real deal. This is dairy.

Okay. That's it.

David's shitty ice-cream machine
has forced our hand.

Representatives from each department

have been meeting in secret
for the past six months,

and we are exercising our right
to enter into collective bargaining.

I'm sorry?
I don't think I follow what you're saying.

They're unionizing.

We're unionizing. Bitch.

- [switch clicks]
- [music winds down]

- [dog whines]
- [woman] Oh, my God!

[deep male voice] Mea culpa.

[Dana] Hey there, Danimals.

- I know I've betrayed your trust.
- [meows]

But I love Mythic Quest,
more than anything,

and I never meant to hurt it
or the people that I work with.

And I'm no corporate shill.
I'm one of you, I promise.

I wanna hear you out
and answer your questions.

[pinging]

Okay. These aren't questions.
These are comments.

And general insults.

Oh, my God. Uh, haven't heard that one.

[clicks tongue] Or that.

Please don't. You guys are better than...

Oh, my God!

Mmm.
Did someone just post my phone number?

[scoffs] That's not my real number,
so don't even bother.

[ringing]

Okay. You know what? I'm signing off.

- [tiger roars]
- [woman] Wyld D.

And cut. [chuckles] That was great.

That was brutal. Why am I still
doing this? I am getting crushed.

Yeah, but your numbers
are actually growing.

It's all about the hate-watch now, right?

It's about the hate-like, the hate-follow,
the hate-hate.

People miss public executions.

In my day, when critics savaged my books,

and they did so often
and with great enthusiasm,

I could simply
throw the newspaper in the trash.

- I wasn't picked apart at...
- [crowd shouts]

- [screaming]
- Christ's wounds! What are they doing?

[Dana] Murdering me.
They do it every time I respawn.

[phone rings]

- [crowd shouts]
- [character screams]

[Brad] You're fucked.

[man] No!

- [animals growling]
- [man groans]

[Ian] What is the staff complaining about?

The game has never been more awesome.

They're complaining about the hours
it takes to make it that awesome.

The extended crunches for Raven's Banquet,

the shovel rebuild,
the Dinner Party patches,

the building of the coliseum
for the Masked Man fight.

It takes as long as it takes
to make the game great.

- According to you.
- I'm the creative director, Poppy.

That's my job. I get to...

Hey!
David's running this meeting. So shut it.

Thank you, Jo.

Now, look. We are staring down
the barrel of a mutiny here, okay?

So we need to talk strategy.

I want to open up the budget
and look at that.

Ian, I wanna look at that with you.

- He doesn't do budgets.
- I don't do budgets, David.

You don't do... You don't do budgets.
You don't do phones.

- What do you do, Ian?
- Blood Ocean.

- Blood Ocean.
- "Blood Ocean"? What is that?

What... Is that like a... ocean of blood?

- He doesn't know.
- I don't really know, but it could be.

- Let's get a team on it.
- Right now? It's 2:00 in the morning.

- He doesn't do time.
- It's 2:00 in the morning?

What are these people still doing here?

You forced them to be here
in case you have a brilliant idea

or just... mash two words together.

Look, we cannot afford
to-to maintain an office like this.

See, this is why it is your fault, Ian.

David, it's your job to wrangle me.

And if you can't do that,
then technically this is your fault.

What, I'm like a wrangler at a rodeo?

You know?
Wrangling you like some wild bull?

Jo, write that down.
David called me a "wild bull."

- I already got it.
- Great.

No, don't put that down.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I got a solution.

- It's for Blood Ocean.
- It's a potion.

The Blood Ocean potion.

Ian's close to a breakthrough.

No, Jo, don't encourage him.

What happened? We were doing so well.

I'm drawn to power,
and I'm sensing a shift.

There is a shift. I feel it too.

There's no shift. Uh, see, what happened...

You've been standing the whole time,
even though I called the meeting...

I'm gonna stand, and then, let me...
let me restart.

- David. I'd prefer it if you sit.
- [Poppy groaning] No.

What's wrong, Pop? Y-You look tired.

I'm physically, emotionally
and spiritually exhausted.

That's not good. Pop,
why don't you just go home, rest a bit?

'Cause I need you sharp.

Come back in like eight to ten hours.
That cool?

- Whatever you say, Ian.
- Great.

Good luck, Pop. Thank you.
Thank you for everything today.

- Thank you.
- Awesome.

- Is she okay?
- Yeah, she's fine. She's fine.

She... You know what?

She's just really stressed out
about getting Blood Ocean perfect.

[rooster crows]

- Hey, Rache.
- Hey. I was watching. Are you okay?

I quit the stream.
The backlash was never gonna end.

Oh, shit, dude. I'm so sorry.

But hey, you know, at least
you get to come back to testing, right?

I thought so, but I just talked to Carol,

and I guess
there's no job to come back to.

What? No, no, no.

You can... We can just move Lou.

He's not gonna leave.

And I don't blame him.

- So wait. You're leaving Mythic Quest?
- I guess so.

No. No, no. You can't be leaving.
This is happening too fast.

I'm sorry, Rache. I gotta go.

A security guard? Is this necessary?

It's company policy or something.
I think it's to make it less dramatic.

Less dramatic? Wait. Wait!

Getting perp-walked through the office
like a criminal is less dramatic?

How is this less dramatic?

Somebody help. Do something.

This isn't supposed to be this way.

Stop, stop, stop. Dana.

Dana, don't go. Don't go.

They got a better shitter down on two.
I'm gonna blow that thing up.

Dana, I'm gonna fix this!

Carol, you need to fire Lou
and give Dana her job back,

because he has said vile things to me.

Oh, my God. Did he sexually harass you?

Well... no. He turned me down
when I was coming on to him.

I wasn't coming on to him,
but he thought I was.

Then he was super rude about it, but...

I didn't wanna have sex with him,
but he thought that I did...

But I don't. Does that count?

No. In fact, that's refreshing.

Well... If you can't shitcan Lou, then
can you at least give Dana a new position?

Creating a new position requires
budget redistribution

and many, many things that have nothing
to do with the office of Human Resources.

God damn it, Carol,
what do you even do here?

I'm so glad you asked, okay?

Because I have been trying to get
everyone to read these pamphlets I made

- that very clearly explain that I...
- My God!

Michelle, first off, I wanna thank you
for coming to the table,

and let you know that management
is committed to smoothing things over

and making sure that...

I'm sorry. I'm just tired from working.

- It's a tactic. Yawn back.
- Jo, no. We don't need tactics.

Okay, look, Michelle.
We're on the same side, okay?

So just tell me your demands.
Jo, make sure to get these down.

We want overtime pay.

The workers are grist for the mill!

Jo, please!

I'm sorry. My assistant
has very anti-union sentiment.

It does not reflect our own beliefs.
Please, go ahead.

That's it.

That's it?

Oh.

Okay. Well, great.

I thought you were gonna ask
for stuff like profit sharing, so...

Can we get profit sharing?

You're not very good at this.
Maybe you should get Ian to help.

Look, I don't need him, okay? I...

Let me ask you something.

Why do the employees love Ian so much?
Huh?

You realize he's the one
that's causing you overtime.

Yeah, but he's right. That's what it takes
to make the game great.

We don't wanna work less,
we just wanna get paid for what we do.

You get what you get
and you don't get upset!

Jo.

Michelle, what you're asking for
is totally reasonable.

And so,
I am going to back the employees on this,

- because you guys deserve it. Here we go.
- [dial tone]

What are you doing?

I'm calling corporate, and I'm gonna tell
them if they want their biggest game,

they're gonna have to increase the budget,
so I can pay you guys overtime,

'cause you deserve it.

They won't listen to you.

Uh, corporate and I exchanged some words
after the Masked Man fight,

and, uh, if I'm being honest,
now I think they're a little afraid of me.

He told them to French-kiss his dick.

[line ringing]

Yeah.

[woman]
Bonjour. Jacques and Jean-Luc's office.

Uh, yeah. It's Brittlesbee.
Get the guys on the phone for me.

Please hold.

[French music plays]

You know what? Uh...

You ladies might wanna take off.
I might use some, uh, choice language.

[in Southern drawl] Get going.

[door opens, closes]

- [phone beeps]
- [man] Hello, David.

Jacques and Jean-Luc. Let's talk.

[office chatter]

Gather round, peasants!

Your superior, who earned his post
through merit and hard work,

has seen it fit
to reward your disobedience with mercy.

Right now,
he's on the phone with corporate,

telling them to cave to your demands.

[inaudible]

[Michelle] Wow, this might actually work.

Yeah, of course it's gonna work.

- [voice shaking] I got fired.
- [crowd gasps]

- What?
- I got fired.

They-They don't see this as a union issue.

They see it as a mismanagement issue.

And they said that
the source of the problem is me,

and so that I could pack my shit and go.

What about our overtime?

I don't know, Michelle. I didn't ask
about your fucking overtime, okay?

To a company
that doesn't employ me anymore.

I was too busy getting my ass chewed out
by a couple of French Canadians.

[exhales]
You have your whole lives ahead of you.

Uh, some of us are
43-year-old white guys...

[sniffs] ...who have to find another job.

And that used to be easy, by the way,
it is not really easy right now, okay?

[sniffles]
Uh, which is good, which is good.

I know. It's good, it's good.

But, you know,
it's not good if you're Dave Brittlesbee.

For those of you who believe in me
as executive producer,

I wanna ask you right now,

would you feel comfortable walking out
and striking with me, uh, to save my job?

Anyone raise their hand if you could.

No? Nobody? Guys?

[woman] Hmm.

Nobody. Unbelievable.

So much for being a collective, huh?

[sobs]
God. I'm so screwed. I gotta call my wife.

- Ex-wife.
- Shut up, Jo!

Where's Ian?

[theme music plays]

[pocketknife clicks]

[grunts]

Yeah.

- [music stops]
- Hey, man. You all right?

- Huh?
- You all right?

Oh, yeah. It's, uh...

I'm doing a Blood Ocean thing.
It's for a video game.

Shit,
you can't go in there with an open wound.

Yeah, you're gonna get sick.

I don't do sick.

What does he mean he doesn't do sick?

What the fuck? What a dick.

[theme music plays]

- [banging on door]
- Poppy. Poppy, let me in.

- [ringing doorbell]
- Poppy! Poppy, let me in.

- Poppy, Poppy, Poppy.
- [banging]

Hey. We gotta talk.

- Blood Ocean.
- Nope.

- I figured it out.
- No.

- All right, Pop.
- No!

- Get out of my house!
- Goddamn, you are actually strong.

...discuss it. You're gonna like it.

There's no escape. I can't escape.

What happened to your finger?

Oh, it got infected.

Apparently you're not supposed
to go into the ocean with an open wound,

on account of the microbes
from all the human feces, or some shit.

Anyway, that's what they told me
at the hospital.

You were in the hospital?

Yes, but that's actually a good thing,

because while I was there
with this very serious infection,

I started to feel dizzy, you know?

And, like,
that's kind of when I'm at my best

because that's when the muse just,
sort of, starts sending me something.

And all of a sudden I hear it.

[whispers] I hear it as a whisper.

May have been the voice of God.
I don't know.

She says... She says,

"Blood Ocean is a disease."

Ian...

that is actually pretty good.

Yes! Yes, yes! Okay.

- Let's get you to a workstation, 'cause...
- No. I can't. I can't.

I can't do it anymore. I give up.

Look, Pop, I know that I can be difficult
to deal with, but so can you.

But we're like The Beatles, you know?
[sighs]

Big egos clash, and we fight all the time,

but you can't deny that together
we make masterpieces.

I'm sorry, The Beatles
are a rock band from the 1960s who...

I know who The Beatles are.

Oh. It's just you didn't know
what Weird Science was.

The Beatles and Weird Science
are not the same thing.

The point is
that the struggle is worth it.

Look. Come on.
Let me show you something.

[typing]

Right now there are 11 million people
playing Mythic Quest.

Eleven million people could be
doing anything with their lives,

and they're choosing us.

Poppy, you can't give up.

The world is better
with The Beatles in it, and you know it.

The Beatles, huh?

Yeah, The Beatles.

Sure, I could write the lyrics
and the music and everything,

but it would sound completely different
without the drums.

[inhales] Wait, I'm Ringo?

Well, yeah. Of course you're Ringo.

Somebody's gotta keep the beat.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

You couldn't even give me
one of the good Beatles!

O-Okay. It's not The Beatles.
It's something else...

No, it is. It's whatever you say it is.
It's The Beatles.

I am a paintbrush.
You're the creative director,

so we're all just held hostage
to your every whim.

That's why it's always
gonna be your world.

Did you know that David got fired?

Your staff are revolting.

Mythic Quest is crumbling around you,

and you're just letting someone else
take care of it.

You are so self-absorbed that
you can't see you're fucking this game up,

just like you fucked up your kid!

No.

You're right.

No, I didn't mean that.

It's okay, Poppy. You're right.

- No. I didn't...
- I'm sorry.

I... I got confused.

There were too many metaphors!

- [drums beating]
- [thunder rumbles]

- Brad, I need your help.
- "Brad, I need your help."

Stop that. Look.

Dana got let go. Like, from the company.

Okay. So?

So? Can't you manipulate the situation,
somehow?

You know, Carol said something
about maybe creating a new position,

- and I thought that...
- Wait. Creating a new position.

- What are you even talking about?
- I don't know, man.

I'm just... I'm trying to do something
for somebody I care about.

Don't you care about anything?

Actually, I do. Thank you for asking.

Mmm.

What do I care about?

[sighs]

Are you familiar with... DuckTales?

[thunder rumbles]

What?

DuckTales. It's a cartoon from my youth
that had a profound impact on me.

Scrooge McDuck, the, uh, wealthy,
swashbuckling patriarch of his family,

owned a money bin.

It's this silo-like structure

that was so full of gold coins
and other currency

he could swim in it as easily
as a poor duck could swim in water.

It's my dream to build my own money bin,

so I too can bathe in my hoarded wealth.

What the fuck are you talking about?

That's what my architect said to me,

but then I wrote him a check
and he got right to work.

You see, Rachel,
that's the thing about money.

Its value is meaningless,

unless it brings you happiness
in the form of things you love.

Like becoming a cartoon duck?

Owning people.

Owning them in the way
that makes them do ridiculous things

like build you a money bin or
a skyscraper with your name on top of it.

My pursuit of money
is only the pursuit of ownership.

Not in things, though. In people.

This is bullshit, Brad, okay?

This is your fault. You need to fix this!

My fault? I gave her a dream job,
which she accepted and you encouraged.

It's not my fault that she...

Oh. Wait a minute.
You don't... You don't know, do you?

Know what?

[clicks tongue]

Apparently some web sleuths
found a reflection in her glasses.

The glasses
I believe you told her to wear.

Whoops. The Nebula Award.

And from there it was just a hop, skip
and a coordinated online campaign away

from connecting The Nebula Award to C.W.,

C.W. to Ian, Ian to MQ,

MQ to Dana, Dana back to MQ,

and then of course,
Dana to corporate shill.

I was just trying to help.

I...

[thunder rumbles]

[phone dings]

Call Montreal.

[phone voice] Calling Mom.

No, don't call Mom.

- [phone dings]
- Call Montreal.

[phone voice] Calling Monica.

Fucking Mo... Oh, fuck. Forget it.

- [theme music plays]
- [wind whooshes]

[chickens clucking]

[exhales]

[elevator dings]

- [office chattering]
- [upbeat music plays]

[David]
Come on. And look, we got toppings here.

Yeah, there's all kinds of toppings.

Get whatever you want. Yeah.

Hey, Poppy! Ding-a-ling-a-ling.
You want some ice cream?

What is going on?

Oh, Ian called Montreal,
and he got me my job back.

Yeah, and he got all the workers
their overtime pay.

Yeah, he did it. He fixed everything.

Of course he did.

He's the best! Ding-a-ling-a-ling!

[computer man groans]

[coughing, retching]

It's transmitted through contact
with a certain elven species.

The pain! The pain!

My God.

[theme music plays]

[soldiers crying, shouting]

Blood Ocean.

[screaming]

It's beautiful, Pop.

It better be.
I stayed up all night building it.

Why?

[screaming, music stop]

Because... someone has to call the shots,

and get all the glory,

and someone has to keep the beat.

Yeah.

I know that because
I already said it to you last night.

I know. I'm repeating it back to you,

'cause I know you love
the sound of your own voice. I'm say...

I will be Ringo, you fucking dick.

That's great. Great news, Pop.

- I do have one small tweak.
- Sorry, you have a tweak?

- Yeah.
- Mmm, you have a tweak.

So, I've, uh...

I've only spent seven years
coming up with this personal epiphany,

but... you have a tweak!

- Great! You have a tweak!
- Yeah.

Hey, great news, everyone!
Ian's got a tweak!

Poppy,
will you be my co-creative director?

What?

Will you be...

my co-creative director?

How would that work?

You can't have two creative directors.
Who's gonna call the shots?

We both will. Equal say. Equal partners.

I don't believe you.

It's just talk. It's all just talk.

It's gonna be exactly the same
as it's always been. I know that it will.

[sighs]

Can I show you something?

Come here. Check this out.

I found this when we first moved in.

The people that were here before us signed
it when they were building their game,

but he fucked it all up
'cause he didn't listen to his partner.

I don't wanna do that anymore.

So...

You want me to stab you?

What? No!

I want you to carve your name
into the column.

- Oh!
- You don't get the metaphor that I'm...

- I don't know!
- Will you be my... Dr. Bean?

I gotta be honest.
I still don't know what that means.

Doc and Bean! It says Doc and Be...

How are you not getting the metaphor?

Carve your name in and then we're
carved in stone and then that's a...

Right. Right. I get it now.

Move.

Give me the knife.

Hey.

Ew. Why so glum?
It's a day of celebration.

I don't really feel like celebrating
being at this job today, Lou.

No, no, no. Not this. Me.
I got a promotion.

- Wait, what?
- I know.

Some moneybag upstairs shoved
a bunch of cash into the budget,

created a whole new job.

Director of quality consistency
or some shit.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.

And I know that power's an aphrodisiac,
so don't try to again with me.

Okay? It's getting sad.

[mouths words] Thank you.

[mouths words] I own you.

Did he just say, "I love you"?

No. He said, "I own you."

Oh. What?

["Welcome to the Black Parade" plays]

Today marks a new chapter
in the history of Mythic Quest.

A new beginning.

So with that, I would like you to welcome
your new co-creative director, Poppy Li.

You're on, kid.

[music continues]

[office cheers]

[cheering continues]

[music continues]

- [phone ringing]
- [grunting]

- Hello?
- It's not working!

Poppy is a monster,
and I refuse to work with her!

Ian? Wait, what's going on?

This was a massive, massive mistake.

Listen, she's gonna call you. She's
gonna call you, and you cannot answer it.

- She's calling me, man.
- [phone ringing]

David, David, David, David.

Do not answer the phone.
I absolutely forbid you to...

[groans] I fucking hate him, David,
and I will not work with him!

Oh, my God. Please just let me sleep.

No. No, you can't sleep, David.
You gotta get down here and fix this!

No. No. Listen. You guys gotta get
in the same room and hash it out.

Oh, we're in the same room.

- Hey, David.
- Get over here and fix this!

No. I-I can't drive, okay?

I took a Xanax and drank a bottle of wine,
just so I could sleep.

Fine. Then Jo will just come pick you up.
Jo, go get him.

Hey, David. I'm heading out to you now.
Put your shoes on.

No, Jo. Jo, do not come to my house.

- Stop telling me what I don't understand.
- Uh, guys.

- There are so many things that you don't...
- Guys.

- [beeps]
- [sighs]

Okay. I'll be right there.
