Friedken!
Come on, asshole, Let's go,
Yeah, Sorry,
Take it easy, fellas,
- All right, Vince, - Keep your head up, brother,
What were you thinking?
I mean, it's a miracle he's not dead,
I was,,,
I was just,
you know, wasted,
Uh,,,
But he's gonna be all right, yeah?
He's fucking paralyzed,
Vin,
What?
He's paralyzed,
Does he,,,
does he try to sue us now?
- Is he,,, - No,
'Cause we convinced him to take a payout,
Who's we? How much?
Half a million,
Huh,
Jesus Christ, Where are you gonna find that?
No,
Are you out of your fuckin' mind? No fuckin' way,
- The offer's 600, - Fuck you,
I made sure you walked away with something, A hundred grand,
You're gonna try to buy me outta this fuckin' restaurant I founded?
- It's mine, - You're burning it to the ground,
- Fuck you! - There'll be nothing left,
There is no fucking,,,
Okay, All right,
You,,, you win, You made your point, I fucked up, I'll be better,
Jake, Hey,
Do you hear me? I will be better,
Hey, look at me,
All right, guys, Are we doing this?
- Okay, - What a fucking shock you're behind this,
- Real surprise, - Great, great,
- Jake - Appreciate it,
- Here, - Look at me,
Vince, I need you to initial here, okay? Start right here,
And I need you to sign right here, Okay?
Initial here, and then sign here, Let's go,
Vince, come on, We got, like, ten of these to sign,
Let's go,
Hey!
Sign it,
- So what did he say? - We're fucked,
Twenty K in four days, It could be a lot worse, We can scrape that together,
Not that easy, I told you,
Jake, we use this place,
All the cash passing through here, we scrape a little off the top,
- We get creative, - Absolutely not,
Why not?
Because,,, because it's not a fucking piggy bank,
There are books, You know?
Take from the till, people will notice,
What's your solution? I'd like to hold on to a few of these,
I'm gonna text Andy, see if he can float us a loan,
Okay, and I'll call Matt,
Matt is an idea man,
Jake, I need a minute,
Oh, Well, we're right in the middle of somethin',
Now,
Please,
Oh, Really?
Does she wanna report it?
- She says she wants it behind her, - Okay,
Has this happened before?
What?
Of course not,
Jules didn't put his hand up Tanya's skirt?
- What?! - Anna said she told you, Jake,
What the fuck?
These are our employees, It's on us to take care of them,
- Yes, I know, - Do you?
- Yes! - Jake, you don't,
- Come on, Come on, - Jake,
Hey,
Look, what happened to Anna,,, is awful,
Yeah,
And,,,
I missed it,
I slipped,
All right,
From here on in,,,
we take care of our people,
- Absolutely, - All right?
- Yeah, - We do better,
- Yes, - From today,
- Yes, - And if Jules Zablonski ever sets--
He's done,
Let me show you somethin', Come on, Come,
Come,
Oh,
- I mean,,, - I mean,,,
Wow,
That's a statement, Mm,
Yeah,
- So sophisticated, - Mm-hmm,
I mean, for the salon, that'd be great,
I'm just not sure it fits with the concept,
No offense, It's like a whole thing,
You know?
With respect,
you start with a piece like this, and you design the concept around it,
Mm,
The point of owning a painting like this is not what you see in it
but rather what other people see in you
'cause it's yours,
Hey, there he is,
Hey, Andy,
I really appreciate you coming in on such short notice,
Do you want a coffee?
- No, no, thanks, - Water?
Nah, So, what's up? You need a loan?
- Sit down, - Yeah, sure,
Yeah,
What kinda rate can you offer me for, say, 200?
- Two hundred thousand? - Yeah,
That's steep,
- How soon do you need it? - Soon, Right away,
Now,
Well, you know, let me talk to my colleagues
because you've got very good numbers,
- So, you know-- - I want to keep it off the books,
It's for me,
- What? - Not the Rabbit,
Yeah, but, you know, that,,,
that's not how it,,, how it works, you know, You,,, you,,, you need collateral,
Well, you know me,
I'm good for it,
Yeah, yeah, no, you're good for it, for sure, but, you know, um,
you know, anything off the books, that's,,, that's gonna be a nonstarter,
You in some kinda trouble?
- I can give you four grand, - It's worth 15,
- If you wanna sell it, I can-- - No,
I'm coming back for that,
I need 4,400,
- That cashmere? - Yeah,
There's your extra 400,
Wow, you guys really shook out the couch cushions, huh?
- We're good though? - Yeah,
But this doesn't exactly instill confidence, boys,
Maybe we need to remind him what's at stake, huh?
- Maybe you need to shut the fuck up, - All right, We'll see you in a few days,
Bye now,
You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
Yeah, We need an insurance plan,
Let's rush you inside, You look freezing, You all right?
- We made the payment, We're gonna be fine, - What about next week?
- It'll be good, - The week after? Fucked,
- There they are, - Oh,
- Christ, - Hey, man,
- What is this? - Cain and Abel,
I know I owe you a call back, but it's not a good time,
I need you to make time, okay? We need to talk,
- All right, let's go inside, - Been a while, huh?
- All right, - Vince, give me a minute,
- Stay out here? - Yeah,
- Please, - What the fuck you doin'?
- Please, - Please? Fuck you, please,
Oh, You know what? Say hi to Lieutenant Dan for me, will you?
Fuck yourself, you piece of shit,
Get in there and do whatever the fuck you're doin',
You know, you might've checked in before you gave Vince back his keys,
Oh, he's just filling in for a bit, passing through,
- Hey, you wanna drink? You want somethin'? - No, I'm good, Let's sit,
All right, look, I know I owe you a peek at the books,
I j,,, I need a couple more days,
- No, I get it, man, You're busy, - Hmm,
- You could say that, - Yeah, so I asked Sheri to pull the books,
- Okay, - That's why I'm here,
There's some figures she can't reconcile, some money she can't account for,
Really?
Yeah, roughly $100,000,
Candy bar?
What's that?
Candy bar?
$8,50,
Thank you, What'd you say? $8,50?
Hey, man, that's a fuckin' Snickers bar,
It's for my, uh,,, fourth-grade basketball team,
Huh!
You're in fourth grade, pal?
It's so good to meet you, I'm Darryl Strawberry, How you doin'?
Why don't you go fuck off?
Oh, Yeah,
All right, this has not taken into account, uh, the freezer,
- The freezer? - The walk-in,
And the Viking, The,,, the new Viking,
Okay, so you're telling me that the money's there?
- Have you seen the lines? - Yeah,
- Of people around the block every night? - Of course,
- At dinner? - Yes,
The money's there,
Okay, all right, but,,, but just so we're clear,
there is no moving forward with The Pool Room
until the books show that we are whole,
A,,, all right,
What are you guys gossiping about? Come on,
And doesn't this bring back some memories here?
- Good times, - Got any paperwork you need me to sign?
Oh man, Jesus,
What the f,,, what the fuck happened to your finger, man?
This is,,, this is the craziest story, I'm,,, I'm halfway up your mom's ass,
and all of a sudden, just,,, You know? Just right off,
What a talent,
- Uh, but this one still works, - All right,
Hey, I need a few more days, I'll get you everything you need,
- Don't dawdle, - I know,
- Okay? - I know,
Okay, Pleasure as always, Vince,
Oh my God, Yeah, well, you're welcome,
What do you need a few days for?
Jake?
All right, keep it to yourself, but you watch your back with that fuck, Um,,,
Buddy, I have figured out
how we're gonna pay back Mancuso in full,
Really? How?
Do you remember Dad's Little League raffle?
- No, - Yeah,
- No, - Yes, Jake,
We need a little charity, you know?
So I've got the idea, I'm not gonna debate,
And when it works, you can go ahead and say it was,,, it was your idea,
you know, like you usually do,
And who knows, maybe it'll even help you with your little secret,
I want that light, Lord
- Please - Let there be light
Oh, let there be, oh Oh, let there be, oh
Oh, that light
- See, I want that light in my house - Oh, let there be light
- I want that light in my car - Oh, let there be light
- I want that light in my pain - Oh, let there be light,,,
- She's incredible, right? - Yeah, Yeah, I'd say so,
Let there be,,,
Hey,
What the fuck am I hearing about a thousand-dollar prix fixe?
Yeah, I'm sorry,
Uh, things are moving so fast, Vin and I are throwing a benefit,
Since when did Vince have a say in what happens here?
He doesn't, He doesn't,
It's for a high school, Charity for kids, Great PR,
But if you hate kids,,,
Fuck off, What do you need?
A showstopper for the menu,
Hey, uh, don't go crazy with the budget, You know, I need good margins on this,
Oh, so cheap and good? Wow, great idea,
You're the best, Rox, Thank you,
Yeah, Remember that when we're negotiating The Pool Room,
Oh, You got it, superstar, You got it,
Well, listen, send me the details,
and we're always down to come and support upcoming musicians,
- Come on, really? - Absolutely,
- We're there, - Raye, thank you, You're the best,
- Thank you, - Consider it done,
- Oh my God, - I'm gonna get back to work now,
Thank you, Raye,
If that was mom, I'm not going home,
- Yeah, did you invite Val to the party? - No,
- Good, let me do it, I wanna do it, - Great,
- Who else are we gonna invite? - Jules could come,
- There's a great idea, - No, it's not a good idea,
- Why? - What's the problem?
I don't wanna get into it right now, I,,,
N,,, Jules is off the list,
- So what are we looking for? - Not sure,
Inspiration,
I'm thinking about maybe a spin on cafeteria food,
What about prison food?
Obviously, we'll flip it on its head, but Jake said it's for high-school kids, so,,,
What?
Oh, so you think this thing's legit?
Have you met Vince?
You think it's a scam?
Listen, Mel says some scummy-looking dudes stopped by the Rabbit the other day
looking for Vince, so,,,
Yeah, I do believe it's a kind of fundraiser,
I'm gonna kill him,
Just have some sympathy, Vince is an addict,
I'm talkin' about Jake,
- Well, he's an addict too, - What the fuck's he addicted to?
His brother,
If I were you
I'd better watch out
Oh Christ,
When was the last time
That's those,
You did anything,,,
There it goes,
Right here,
Fuck,
- Hi, - Oh!
- Christ! - I'm so sorry,
- You scared me to death, - I'm sorry,
We don't want that, do we?
Mm,
- What are you doin'? This looks fun, - Yeah,
- Accounts, - Hmm,
For the, uh,
benefit,
Hmm, Let me see,
- No, - Mm-hmm,
- Goddamn, you are blind! - All right, give 'em here,
That's crazy,
Is The Pool Room real?
Trying, Why?
Do you have investors lined up?
Almost,
Yeah, I gotta close up a few loops,
This benefit is actually a big part of it,
So it'll be you and me, right?
- Yeah, - No one's in my ear, Just us?
- Nope, - And I can trust you?
You'll be honest with me,
And we'd be equals, right?
Yeah, That's why I asked,
Yeah,
I mean, we had so much fun putting this place together,
Yes,
- We really did, - Yeah,
- I remember, - Yeah,
I,,, I couldn't hang a picture straight without you,
I know,
Yeah, I think,,,
- I think we made a pretty good team, - That was the point,
That was the point,
It's Wes,
- What? - What?
- Well,,, - I'm just gonna,,,
Hey, babe,
No, I'm just,,, I'm at the store running errands,
What's up?
Oh, really?
Okay,
Okay, Well, I'll be home soon,
Okay, Yeah,
All right, bye,
At the store?
I should go,
- And you're sure about this, yeah? - Yes!
Maker's stole Pappy's recipe, I could send you the subreddit?
- No, no, I'm good, I trust you, - I still think you should call Jeffy,
- No, No, no Jeffy, - He's got his shit down tight,
- Matt-- - His cousin was an arson investigator,
I'm not burning down my parents' house, Forget it,
- Why? - What do you mean, why?
Even if it wasn't the worst fuckin' idea I've ever heard,
you think my brother would go for that crap?
What?
Oh, It's just,,, weird,,, seeing you take orders from him,
Oh,
- Doesn't that chafe your nuts? - No,
- Watchin' him run your show? - It doesn't, I got bigger problems,
Okey doke?
So why a lily?
Um,,, Lily's my sister's name,
- Oh, - Hmm,
What's she like?
She's like you,
She's an artist,
I keep telling her she should move to this neighborhood where you creative types are,
Yeah, where is she now?
Uh,,, she's out on Coney Island,
Oh, CI till I die,
My dad's from there,
Oh, your dad,,,
- Small world, - Yeah,
So you live around here, or,,,
Yeah, actually, I live, uh,
right next door,
- That's great, Makes things easy, right? - Mm,
Impressive,
Yeah,
- Hey, - Hey,
What's with the hot dog?
It's what I'm servin' on Saturday,
Right, Great,
- What, are you serious? - Yeah,
- Come on, - You're the inspiration,
It's actually very refined, The sausage has pork belly and foie,
- Mm-mm, - Oh,
So it just looks cheap?
Guys, can you give us a sec, please?
Uh,,,
Come on, I'm sure your hot dog's amazing, but this isn't a Yankees game,
- This party's-- - Is a scam,
To pay off Vince's debts,
- Hey, look-- - Jake, you are unbelievable,
Look--
One minute you are promising me that we're on the same team,
- We are, - That we're lookin' after our staff?
- What's that gotta do with Vince? - Are you fucking kidding me?
He almost killed one of our employees,
You wanna be a team?
You wanna run this back at The Pool Room?
Then I want Vince gone, Jake,
For good,
He's my brother,
Yeah, I know, It's complicated, I'm sure,
But I'm not going back to that
Animal House he was running,
You can wait till Saturday to tell him,
Consider it his going-away party,
Jake,
Yes or no?
Yes,
Careless in our summer clothes
Splashing around
In the muck and the mire,,,
Oh, you look incredible, I'm so glad you could make it,
Wait till you see what Roxie's cookin' up,
- Hey, - Hey,
Hey, Don't say I never did anything for you,
- Hi, - Remember Vin's brother?

Of course, That's great,
Uh, you're always welcome, Come on, get him a great seat,
Oh, don't worry, I brought my own,
Yeah, course!
Shit,
Scene of the crime,
That's so fucking insane,
At least your dad had the sense not to jump,
To be honest, I always thought he got kinda screwed,
That guy was a grown-up, No one made him jump,
I'm not saying your dad was a saint,
I'm just saying he was
dealt some bad hands,
And a million fucking excuses for everything,
All right, enough about him, How are you?
How's work?
Ugh, You want some ink?
- I don't know, What do you think? - Hi,
Didn't want 'em to get cold,
- See the apple doesn't fall far, huh? - Mm, Hmm,
Look at this, Huh?
Rooftop service,
So how you doing? You having fun?
- It's very cool, - Yeah? You hungry?
Yeah, I'm gonna take it inside,
Okay,

She's warming up,
Yeah? Real scorcher,
Tell me what you guys were talking about,
Old times,
Yeah?
Tough breaks,
I really appreciate you bringin' her here, You know?
Yeah, well, it's good to have you back,
Thanks,
You belong here,
Thank you,
Don't jump,
Yo, Jake, Have you met my boy, Ben?
- He made my chain, - Ben Baller,
- Nice to meet you, man, - Hey, man,
Ben's got a new line out, We wanted to throw a little somethin'-somethin'
to kick it off in the VIP,
- Yeah, When? - Yeah?

Actually, Yuki'll call you,
- Let's make it happen, - All right,
Mel? Mel? You're needed out front,
- Okay, - Yeah,
You saving that one for yourself?
Just saving her,
So there we are, up on the roof,
He bets me he can do it, I can't, I'm like, "After you, Vince,"
He's like, "You first, motherfucker,"
Finally, we agree we'll go at the same time,
Now, we're fucking hammered, Of course, We've been drinking all shift,
Great boss, this guy,
So we go to the end of the roof to get a running start,
Vince shouts, "Three, two, one," and we just book it,
I mean, I got cocaine courage, I'm runnin',,,
I'm runnin' as fast as I can,
And I get to the edge, and I jump,
Then I look behind me,
and the last thing I see as I am flying through the air,
this motherfucker's still on the roof,
So as I see it,
you owe me a jump,
And I am not leaving tonight until I get it,
Trevor,
um,,,
Jesus,
I'm kidding!
Fuckin' see his face?
Agh! Trevor!

Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
