Oh, yeah.
Matthew, for the love of God, get off your phone.
- [Matt] Mm-hmm. - Put it down.
- Okay. Sorry. Just one second. I just... - [groans]
I left something at the office
and I'm organizing for someone to come here and drop it off for me.
- But I'm... I'm good now. All good. - Okay.
- Great. No more phone? - No more phone.
Terrific. All right.
So, tell me what's going on at the office.
Uh, you know, a lot, actually. It's, uh...
We got this, uh, Kool-Aid Movie and it's tracking very well.
- So that's really exciting. - Yeah.
And we have this thing, CinemaCon, this weekend
which, uh, we should actually come out of it with a lot of heat.
- Which is really great. So... - Hope so. Yeah.
...overall, I'm really... I'm excited about work. Yeah.
Oh, good. Good. And, uh, any dates? You dating?
Uh, no. And if I'm being honest, I'm...
[sighs]
I'm actually a bit lonely. You know, I...
[chuckles] I just work so much and...
Don't get me wrong, I mean, I really like the people I work with,
but I kind of feel like because I'm their boss
I'm not, like, really their friend, you know?
[parent] Pfft! Friends!
That studio is the most important thing in your life, and that's good.
You're about to win Comic-Con.
It's CinemaCon. You don't really win it.
- But you're... you're totally right. - [phone beeps]
Everything you're saying is right.
Uh, shit. Um, the person I gotta meet is here.
Um, why don't you order some, uh, dessert for us, you know?
- Dessert. Yeah. I'll get... - Ice cream, yeah.
- ...ice cream and layer cakes and all that. - Yeah, thanks.
Be right back.
- Gemma. - Yeah. Hey.
- Hey, I'm Matt. I know Dave Franco. - Hi.
- Awesome. - Great.
Thank you so much for meeting me here. I just... I'm so busy.
Just wanted to make sure I could see you
- before I head out of town. - Yeah. No problem.
- All part of the gig. - Great.
Davie tells me that you're all going to Vegas?
- Yeah. Yeah. - Should be fun.
Yeah. It'll be even more fun with the, uh, party favors.
- Yep. [chuckles] Sure will. Here you go. - Thank you so much.
You've done shrooms before, yeah?
Yeah. I'm huge into... into shrooming.
Big time. So, how, uh, how-how strong are these?
Two eighths in each one.
Two-eighths. So, .25?
Yeah. I mean, it's two eighths.
- Two-eighths. - Yeah. Two eighths.
Yeah. Okay. Got it.
- You cool? - Totally cool. Totally got it.
Thank you so much. Uh, here you go.
- Thank you. Really appreciate it. - Yeah.
- Have fun in Vegas. - Yeah. Thank you.
- [chuckles] - [parent] Ooh, Matthew.
- Mom. - What?
Who was that? She's cute.
Yeah. It's a nutritionist that Dave Franco introduced me to.
Oh. Good, 'cause you look fat.
- Thank you. - [groans]
You should try that Ozempic, you know?
- Works on everybody. - [Matt] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I hear it does. - [parent] Yeah.
I'm Matt Belloni, and you're listening to The Town,
which is going on the road, headed to Las Vegas for CinemaCon.
For those who don't know,
CinemaCon is the annual convention where every major studio
is given a day to present their wares for the upcoming year to theater owners.
Basically, the more the theater owners like the dog and pony show,
the more theaters each film can secure, and the more money it shall make.
The big X factor at CinemaCon this year is Continental Studios.
Oh, yeah.
[Belloni] Their entire slate has great buzz.
People even saying their tentpole, Kool-Aid, could be the next Barbie.
- Guess I'm now drinking the Kool-Aid... - Yes! It is, Belloni!
...on The Kool-Aid Movie.
They have huge celebs lined up for their presentation
and rumor has it Comworld CEO Griffin Mill
will even take the stage for the grand finale.
They're leaving it all on the field for CinemaCon.
Be sure to follow me and The Town for live updates.
[Matt] All right, everybody.
In honor of CinemaCon, I am pleased to present you all with Kool-Aid mimosas.
[Sal, Patty] Ooh!
Patty, this one has apple cider, just for you.
Apple juice and Kool-Aid? No.
- [Matt chuckles] - Cheers.
You should make a drink for The Silver Lake.
That's the one that's gonna win an Oscar.
- Yep. For me. But I'll thank you. - [all chuckling]
Thank you, Patty. I actually think we got it all this year.
We got prestige films like The Silver Lake, Alphabet City.
We got tentpoles like Kool-Aid.
Don't forget about Blackwing.
That surprise reveal is gonna fucking destroy.
Wait. Do we know if Zoë Kravitz can make it for the presentation?
Dude, she's on set in Bucharest but she's flying in, fingers crossed.
Oh, my God. That could just fucking put us over the edge.
We could, like, dominate CinemaCon this year.
Matt Belloni was talking about it on The Town.
- Wow, that's good. That's really good. - [Matt] Oh, man.
We are gonna party tonight like it's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
- [Quinn chuckles] - You've seen that one, right?
- No. No. - [Matt] Oh, my God.
We gotta add that to the list.
You would be amazed at how many of the classics she has not seen.
If by classics you mean your childhood VHS collection, then yeah.
She hasn't seen Mannequin. She hasn't seen Summer School.
You know what I mean? You gotta know films and the staples
if you're gonna be on set with these directors, you know?
- On set? - I got my first movie green-lit.
A Coralie Fargeat body horror.
[Matt chuckles] Okay, guys.
In all seriousness,
you know that Continental Studios means more to me
than anything in the whole world.
I talk about it in therapy quite a bit,
my mother likes to bring it up, you all actually bring it up a lot.
[chuckles] And, uh, well,
we're on the verge of having what could be our biggest year ever.
Really? Biggest?
I mean, yeah. Our biggest.
So, to Continental, everyone.
- [Quinn, Sal] To Continental. - [Matt laughs]
[Patty] Whoo.
- [Sal] Awful. - [Quinn gags]
- [Sal] So, so bad. - [Quinn] Gross. Fuck my asshole.
Ooh, yuck.
[Matt] Oh, my God. This party's gonna be crazy.
I'm getting so many RSVPs.
I fucking love when you're in party mode.
We deserve to blow off some steam.
- Especially in Vegas, baby. - Fuck.
- Swingers. I have seen that one. - Thank God.
I also have actual pharmaceutical-grade cocaine.
Like Keith Richards shit. So find me.
I actually got these shroom chocolates from this, uh, chick, Gemma.
She's a dealer to the stars.
- I'm sorry, you're gonna do drugs? - I am.
You barely smoke weed anymore.
How many times have you done mushrooms in your entire life?
- Four. - Wow.
- Fuck off. - This is so legendary.
Tripping on shrooms in Vegas is the top of my bucket list.
Wait, how strong are they?
Well, they're two-eighths which is...
Right, that's .25. It's a quarter. There's like a quarter gram in each.
- It's a microdose. - Yeah.
I was gonna put 'em out on a big platter, you know?
Like old-school Hollywood vibes 'cause we're in Vegas, baby.
Vegas, baby.
- Do it. Do it. - Say the line.
- Vegas, baby! [squeals] - Yeah!
You're so money, you don't even know it, Quinn.
Whoo!
[exhales sharply]
Come on. Look alive.
[Sal exclaims]
- Yeah. Look at that. - Fucking fantastic.
That looks so good, huh?
- Johnny. - She's stunning.
Jeez, that looks really good. Zac.
- My guy right there. Hilarious. - Oh, my God.
Patty.
- [Patty] Oh. Matty. - Come on.
- Look at that. - [Patty] Thank you.
- [Sal] So awesome. - It is beautiful.
- [Matt] So good. - [Quinn] Wow.
[Sal scatting]
[Sal chuckles] Fuck.
- [Matt] Holy shit. - [Quinn] My God.
[Maya] Welcome to my Thunderdome.
- This is fucking unbelievable. - Oh, my God. What?
- This is insane. - [Matt] Holy shit, Maya.
- [Maya] It's dope as fuck. I know. - Yeah. This is incredible.
Yeah, we're gonna be ready to go for this presentation 7:30 a.m. sharp.
- Nice. - Okay, to recap for you,
we got first up, Davie Franco.
He's gonna give us the trailer to Alphabet City.
Then there's gonna be lasers, smokes, sexy portal for Zoë K. to come through.
She's gonna give us Blackwing.
Uh, then we're gonna give you Patty.
Patty's gonna tease The Silver Lake.
Then we're gonna pan to Stoller who's gonna talk Kool-Aid.
Stoller throws to Matt.
Matt's gonna give us Griffin.
Uh, and then Griffin is gonna serve up the grand finale.
[all exclaiming]
Holy shit. That's awesome.
[Maya] Okay, slowly! Falling!
- [Quinn] Whoa. - [Sal] A little bit more. Boom.
- Gentle. - Tyler, this suit is crushing my balls.
Yeah, sorry. The person that made this rig definitely did not have dick and balls.
Okay. All right. Also, you gotta be delicate with this rig.
You can't flail around, okay?
Stoller! Yo.
- Hello. - [Matt] What's up, man?
- This is exciting. - Yeah, I'm so glad you made it, dude.
It's gonna be fun.
If you don't have plans tonight, you should stop by my suite.
I'm having a party with an old-school Hollywood buffet.
[all laughing]
- I'm all full. But... - Oh.
- [all laughing] - But thank you.
- I'm gonna chill out in the room. - Yeah, yeah. Cool.
But don't party too hard.
- Oh, we will. - Yeah. Sorry. Can't help it though.
- Good to see you, bud. - [Maya] We need Griffin to rehearse.
- Any eyes on Griffin? - Yes.
He is in the back of the theater and refuses to come out,
which is mad annoying 'cause I'm trying to go to sleep early.
- You know Daddy needs his beauty rest. - Okay.
Matty, could you light a fire under his ass?
- We need him to rehearse. - [Tyler] Thank you.
But do we really need Griffin to speak?
- [Maya] Patty. - That voice, it's so grating.
And what's with the phallic tusk thing around the neck? Where'd he get that?
- The Playboy Mansion gift shop? - Hey, Patty.
- [laughs] - I know you don't love Griffin
but we really gotta come together for this presentation.
- Oh, do we? - Yeah.
You worried about me? No. I'm almost grateful to the man, Matty.
I am. I'm a producer now.
- I won a Golden Globe, for God's sakes. - [Matt] Mm-hmm.
- Uh-huh. - [Matt laughs]
If it weren't for that myopic, chauvinistic a-hole,
- I wouldn't be living my best life now. - Great.
Okay? Zero bitterness.
I'm genuinely thrilled for you.
- Honestly. Great. Awesome. - Okay.
Okay. I'm gonna go grab Griffin.
Great job, everyone. This looks amazing.
- Thanks, Matty. We're gonna kill it. - [Matt] We're gonna kill it!
- Do it like Charlie's Angels. - Get in here, Patty. Get in here.
Mr. Mill.
- Hey. - [Griffin sighs]
We're, uh, all rehearsing down there if you wanna get in on that action.
We have a teleprompter, don't we?
I mean, I can just read it off that, right?
- Yeah. Uh, great. Uh, you... - Okay. Yeah.
You okay? Everything okay?
[sighs]
Matthew, do you know how old I am?
Sixty-five?
Uh, that's the target.
I'm 82.
- You are? - Yeah.
Holy shit, man.
You look fucking amazing. Oh, it's good.
- Whatever you're doing, it's good. - I know.
The point I'm trying to make is that it's been a long and a great run.
- Great. - And I still feel like I've got...
I've got more left in me.
I still wanna give it a go.
Yeah. Great. Is there any reason to think you might not be able to do that?
[sighs]
It's... It's... It's just that... that fucking hedge fund twat, Peter Blake,
has got his fingers up the ass of the Comworld board,
and he's trying to milk a sale of Continental Studios to Amazon.
- Amazon? - Yeah.
- Wait, really? - Really.
- They-They-They just bought MGM. - I know.
Isn't that enough for those motherfuckers?
No, no, no. They're vampires.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
If Continental is sold to Amazon, that means that we're all--
- I'm out. - Yeah.
- You're out. Your whole team is out. - [sighs]
And Continental's illustrious 100-year theatrical run is over.
- And Amazon gets the entire library. - [breathing heavily]
They get MK Ultra, they get Kool-Aid!
They get Blackwing.
They get everything.
And the studio as we know it is dead.
There-There-There has to be a way to stop that from happening.
Our slate next year is incredible. We're-We're gonna fucking crush it, man.
Yes. So say us, but the world has to know that,
otherwise the board has all the leverage.
This presentation. If this goes as well as I think it's going to,
we are gonna come out of CinemaCon
with more heat than any other studio in all of Hollywood.
I'm talking about billions and billions of dollars in projected revenue.
They cannot sell us
if we're about to have the best year in this studio's entire history.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Yes. I think you're onto something. - Yes. I am.
- If we project strength and growth... - Yes, yes.
...we can stave off those twats for a long time.
We will. We will stave off those twats.
- Stave off the twats! - Yes! We got this. Let's go rehearse.
No, no. Fuck rehearsal. I got some calls to make.
You make your calls. We got this though.
- We got this. Yes. Yes. - We got this. Go and rehearse.
We got this.
[panting]
We got this.
- [Griffin] Yeah! Whoo! - [Maya] Oh, yeah!
Okay!
[Griffin yelling]
Okay. So, you are telling me they just freeze a caveman without any logic?
These '80s comedies, they're all so coked up that just anything goes?
If you even begin to suggest that Encino Man
is anything other than a cinematic masterpiece,
- I'm firing you from this company. - No, no, no.
Brendan Fraser gives it the performance of a lifetime.
- Yes, he does. - But with the dance scene at the end.
- What is that? - That's the best part of the movie.
- You kidding me? - Wait, did you do shrooms?
Yes. I ate one square. I'm just seeing how I feel.
- Maybe I'll do more in a little bit. - Okay. I did some too.
But I-I also did some ketamine, so it kind of dilutes it.
Nice.
Are you sure it's okay that I get so fucked up?
Oh, I demand you get fucked up.
That's why I got a whole buffet full of drugs.
Before your generation ruined Hollywood this is what every party was like.
Cool people getting high as fuck.
That's why we're going old-school, baby.
Yeah. You keep saying that.
- Yeah. - Matty. Matty.
Are you aware of how out of control Griffin Mill is getting?
He's doing shots of cognac with David Franco.
He's getting wasted with the talent.
- I... Look, it's... Seriously? - [Dave] Cognac!
I've never seen anything like it.
It is disgusting.
And I'm someone who did lines off of Kevin Spacey's toilet.
What's gotten into that guy?
I don't know. He's just... He's having a good time, right?
I don't know. It seems a little dark.
I know it's funny coming from someone who's really fucked up,
but Griffin is a mess and he has a presentation in a few hours, so...
Yeah. I think that someone has to tell Captain Underpants
that he's gotta pull the brakes right now.
'Cause it's not professional. Doesn't look professional.
- Mm-mmm. - Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
It's not my job. [chuckles]
- It's bad. It's bad. - [Maya] Yes. It's your job.
- Okay. I'll do it. I'll do it. - [Sal] Thank you for handling.
- Hey, Mr. Mill. Hey. - [exclaims, chuckling]
- Maybe you wanna take it easy... - Oh!
- Matthew. - ...for the big presentation, you know?
Maybe you wanna ease off a little bit, am I right?
Ease off? Or you can mind your own fucking business.
- Here. Hey, man. - Yeah. No. I'm-I'm, uh...
- Baby bird me. - No. Okay, sir, look.
I think... I think... Look, sometimes when I have a big day the next day,
instead of doing hard drugs and getting blackout drunk,
I microdose shrooms.
There's no hangover. They're a little more mellow.
Maybe try something like that?
- There's a microdose in here? - Yeah.
- Microdose. Macro-dicky. - Oh, my God.
[laughs]
- You wanna try one? - No, I'm okay.
- Come on. Don't be a shithead. - I'm good. Okay.
- Come on. Look, they're good. - You seem fine.
- Here. Look.
- Try some. - [guest gasps]
- Fuck. Shit. - [Griffin] Come on.
- I'm taking the rest of these. - [Sal] What the fuck was that?
He's fine.
He's fine? You think that's fine?
'Cause I don't think it's a good idea
when men in their late 60s are taking big fucking fistfuls of drugs.
- No. It's hot. - Yeah.
Late 60s. Yeah.
Bro, what the fuck is wrong with you?
What? What's wrong... Nothing. I'm just...
I'm getting really... It got hot all of a sudden.
- No. You're not good. - Why did you do that?
- I don't know. [groans] - I'm really sweaty.
I'm just feeling... [inhales sharply] I think maybe the shrooms are...
- He's gonna throw up. - I'm not gonna throw up.
[gags] The shrooms are just kicking in a little harder
than I thought they were going to. I just need some air.
I haven't done them in a long time. I'm really just high, I think.
- Oh, God. - Aw, is baby having a bad trip?
Honey, we're all high as fuck. You just gotta...
You just gotta roll with it, bitch.
You're acting really weird. You're hiding something.
- I can tell. - I'm not acting. I'm not hiding anything.
Right there. I can see it in your eyes.
- What are you hiding? - I'm not hiding anything!
You gotta release the wave. You'll feel so much better.
- Release. Just release. Let it go. - Okay. Okay. Okay.
[Maya] Oh, not on this carpet. It's beige.
The reason Griffin's getting so fucked up
is they're trying to sell Continental to Amazon.
- [Maya shrieks, chuckles] Wait. - [Quinn gasps]
Are you fucking kidding me? [laughs]
Bro, how could you not tell me?
- Bro, bro, bro. - [Matt] I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I finally get a fucking movie green-lit and they scrap the fucking studio.
- Come on! - They're not scrapping the studio.
Look, everything is gonna be fine
because tomorrow at CinemaCon we are gonna give the presentation of our lives.
That's why I didn't tell you guys anything.
If this presentation goes off without a hitch, they can't sell us.
- Don't you see? They can't. - [Maya] No.
Our presentation is not gonna go off well.
Our CEO is fucked up, dude!
Listen to me. Listen to me.
You need to go tell Griffin he needs to go to bed for a few hours.
- Will you do it for me? - Better suck it the fuck up, boss boy.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
That came out so mean, but I just had a really strong microdose or something.
- Yeah, it is a strong microdose. - Handle this shit.
Okay, I'll tell. I'll tell him, but this Amazon thing,
this stays in our cone of silence, all right?
- Not a word to anybody. - The four of us and Patty.
- Don't tell Patty. She's doing so well. - Not going to... No.
She's flying high. She's finally back on her feet.
I don't wanna bring her down with this information, okay?
- We got this. We can fix this. Okay. - We got it. Go, go, go.
[Maya] We're fixing it. [sighs]
Should we follow him? We should follow him.
- Follow me. Come on. - [Sal] Let's go.
- Let's go. - [Maya] Okay. Yeah.
But, Matt. Matt. Matt.
- You're gonna take care of Griffin. - Yeah. I got it.
I got it, I got it.
[Quinn] Are you positive you're gonna do it?
[Matt] I'm 100% sure I got it. I'm good. I'm gonna do it.
- [Quinn] Go get 'em. - I got it, I got it, I got it.
- I don't got this at all, man. - It's okay.
- I don't know what to do. - Guess what? I got it.
You tell everyone security called, party's over, they gotta go home. Boom.
You want me to shut down the entire party?
- Mm-hmm. - Dude, I can't do that.
This is all I've ever wanted in my whole life.
This is the coolest party I've ever had.
Okay. Your other option is to tell Griffin he has to leave
and I know you won't do that 'cause you're a coward.
- I am. You're right. - So, you can do this.
Now, go, go, go. Strong guy. Strong guy. Strong, strong.
[panting] Okay. [exhales sharply]
Excuse me, everyone.
Um, I got a bit of a bummer of an announcement to make, but...
[gasps] It's Zoë Kravitz.
[breathes heavily] That's so cool.
- Zoë! You made it! - Hey, Dave. What's up?
- Whoa. Hey. [chuckles] - [laughs] Hey.
- What's up? - Oh, I'm so good! [chuckles]
Yeah, I'm jet-lagged. I couldn't sleep,
so I thought I would just, like, see what's up.
So, what? Is it, like, a weird party with a bunch of suits?
Wait, no, no, no. It's actually fun.
- Come on, I'll get you a drink. - Oh, that's okay.
I have that presentation thing in the morning, so I gotta be good. But...
- I'll have a water. - It's too late for me.
I'm going through the night and straight to the pres.
Maybe win a little money at the tables, Now You See Me style.
- [Zoë chuckles] - Oh! I gotta dance.
- Zoë. You made it. Hey. - Hey, Matt. Yeah.
- How's it going? You good? - Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.
- I'm excited about the presentation. - So glad you stopped by.
- [chuckles] - Yeah. [stammers] You okay?
Yes, I'm fine. I've just... [stammers] I've, you know, been-been-been partying.
- So, you see we got a full bar. - Right. Yeah.
We got snacks. We got a old-school Hollywood buffet,
uh, should you choose to indulge, you know what I mean? [chuckles]
- Totally. - Yeah. Cool. Cool.
- Okay. Um, I'll go have a snack. - Great. [chuckles]
Yeah. Hit up the old-school Hollywood buffet.
- Okay. Old-school. For sure. [laughs] - Yeah. You get it. [chuckles]
What the fuck was that?
Dude, I cannot end the party right now. Zoë Kravitz just showed up.
She flew here from Romania. She wants to hang.
Look, just-just-just give me ten or 15 minutes to chill with her.
You know, chat, and-and then I'll shut down the whole party, okay?
Ten or 15 minutes, yes. 'Cause remember, we're gonna lose our jobs.
- Yes, I know. - [Zoë] Hi. Hey.
That situation is bad, so can you handle that one, please?
Yeah. I'll deal with that. Okay. All good.
- [Griffin] Hey, you wanna bump this? - Um, I'm okay. Thank you.
You sure? You wanna meet me at sunrise? We can have ours...
[groans] Nachos.
Was that... Was he being weird just now?
- Mm-hmm. - Sorry about that.
- We have a whole plan at sunrise. - Okay. Good.
- Oh. You decided to, uh, partake. - Partake?
Yeah. In the chocolates. You're partaking in the chocolat.
- [chuckles] - Yeah.
- I'm eating some chocolates. [chuckles] - Yeah. Yeah. Cool.
Just don't eat too many chocolates.
Excuse me? I'll eat as many chocolates as I want, okay?
Oh, yeah. No.
- I'm not telling you how much to eat. - Oh, shit.
You changed your mind.
Let's go! Party till the presentation.
What are you talking about?
With the shrooms.
What mushrooms?
The shrooms in the chocolates.
These are mushrooms?
Yeah. Yeah. That's why it's a old-school Hollywood buffet.
That's why I kept saying old-school Hollywood buffet.
That means there's fucking drugs in the food?
Yeah. That's... [stammers] What-What else would that possibly mean?
- I don't know what the fuck that means. - Well, that's what it means.
It's old-school Hollywoo... Look, look, look. Look, [stutters] it's fine.
- The-They're a microdose, okay? - They are not a microdose.
They are. There-There's two-eighths of a gram in each one.
What? No. Two-eighths of an ounce.
What the fuck is two-eighths of a gram? That's not a thing.
Oh, my God. That explains why I'm so fucking high.
Did I just eat a scary amount of mushrooms or not?
Seven grams in each. [laughs]
Okay, okay, okay.
It sounds like a lot, but I-I had one...
[stammers] ...and it hit me strong but now it's very manageable.
I feel okay. I think... I think you'll be okay.
- I had three. - What?
- [gasps] Holy fuck! - Three?
That's too fucking ma... Oh, my God, dude! That's too many shrooms.
- You just had 21 grams of shrooms! - Oh, my God.
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. - Oh, my God. Matt.
- I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. - What the fuck is wrong with you?
- Why wouldn't you label these, dude? - It's an old-school Hollywood buffet...
Stop saying old-school Hollywood buffet!
Zoë in the house.
She just ate 21 grams of shrooms by accident.
There were seven grams in each chocolate.
- Don't act like it's my accident. - I'm sorry!
- It's your fault! - I apologize. I'm sorry.
- Is she gonna be all right? - Of course I'll be all right.
Why wouldn't I be all... Am I gonna be all right?
I don't know. You could get brain damage, maybe.
Brain damage? Is that a thing?
- I heard that is a thing! - It's not a thing. It's not a thing.
- No. I heard it! I did. - Don't freak her out, dude!
- Don't freak her out! - I'm freaking out.
- I'm sorry. - What do I do?
- Do I puke? Is it too late to puke? - I don't know.
- It's too... It's too late. - I think I should puke.
- No, no. I think I should puke. - Don't puke.
- [gags, coughs] - Go. Go!
- I don't wanna puke. - No, please don't.
- Oh, my God. - We should get her in a private room.
- Get you some air. - Private room.
Good luck, Zoë. You got this! Ride the wave, baby!
How long do these drugs normally last?
- Usually six to eight hours. - What time is it right now?
- It's 3:30 in the morning. Shit. - Okay. No, it's okay.
- I'm gonna be high for so long. [sighs] - It's okay.
Because it's 3:30 now, I actually feel pretty okay.
Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh.
- [Zoë imitates beeping, laughs] - [Sal chuckles]
This painting sucks.
- Hey, focus, focus, focus, focus. - Okay. Okay, okay. Yeah.
[stammers] Where is your room? We should get you back to your room.
- My room. My room is this way. - Let's go.
- It is across the casino. - All right.
- It is in the other tower. - Great.
- It's so far away. This place is huge. - Yeah.
- [laughing] - Jesus. Dude.
- [Sal] No, no, no, no. Whoa. - Jesus. Fuck.
- [Matt] It's okay. Come on. - Oh. Oh.
Why would they make a place so big? It's so silly.
It's so big. There's a spare bedroom over here.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - This way. Come this way.
- Yeah. We'll put you in here. - [Zoë] I like your dress a lot.
- It's very nice. Yeah. Right in here. - Oh, what a nice memory.
- Oh. Hey. No. We're done with that guy. - [Matt] Whoa. Right this way.
- Oh! This is nice. I like this. Yeah. - Yeah. It's great.
- It's all yours. - [Matt] You got a minibar, you have a TV.
- I'm gonna put this here. This is mine. - Got a whole setup. Great.
- I'm gonna put this here. Okay. - [Matt] Right there. Perfect.
- I'm gonna go here. - Perfect. Great.
- I need this. And... [sighing] - You're all set. Okay. You're good.
Look, I am so sorry I did this to you, okay?
- It's okay. I'm gonna be okay. - Yeah. Yes.
- I'm very angry... - Okay.
- ...but I'm not gonna be angry. - Okay.
[exhales deeply] I'm gonna ride the wave.
- Great. - I'm not gonna fight it.
- Don't fight it. - It's bad to fight it.
I've taken shrooms before.
- Not this many, but that's okay. - No one has.
- Yes. You're good. - I'm gonna be okay.
- Sal. Sal, am I gonna be okay? - [Sal] You're gonna be okay.
- You're gonna be okay. - Okay. Okay.
- I'm gonna be okay. - You're gonna be okay.
- I'm gonna be okay. Okay. - You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay.
- Yeah. - [Zoë] Whoo.
[both] She's not gonna be okay.
- Fucking shit. I'm so high right now. - Can't feel my fucking face.
Petra! Petra! Yo. Come here. Come here.
So, okay, Zoë Kravitz is taking a little snooze in this bedroom.
- Zoë Kravitz? - Oh, yeah, yeah.
So, i-if she, uh, leaves, just text me, okay? That's all.
Okay. Oh, my God, would it be okay if I asked her for a selfie?
No. [stammers] Don't go in that room.
[stammers] Just text me, okay? [pants]
- I forgot my phone in there. Shit. - Fuck. All right, go.
[Sal] No one gets in there.
Hey, just grabbing my phone.
- Yay, you're back! - Yeah. Uh-huh.
Oh, man, that was so intense!
The first hour was like... [exclaims] ...and then, I was, like,
this lost little kid in a forest and I was stuck for hours.
I couldn't get out, but then I realized the forest was inside me,
- and then I realized I am the forest. - [breathing heavily]
I am the forest, we are the forest, and I'm okay!
Whew, I feel good.
I feel ready to do the presentation. Let's go.
- It's been 30 seconds. - [pants]
- What? - Yeah.
- No! No! - Yes. Yes.
- I'll be back in several hours. - Oh, my God. No, no.
- No, you're good. You're good. - Matt, please don't leave me.
- You stay here. You're good. - Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- You're good. Yeah, ride it out. - Fuck! Fuck!
- The fuck are you doing right now, dude? - She's cool.
- What was that? - It's okay.
- Jesus Chr... [stammers] - She's gonna be good.
- You're good. Just... You seem okay. - Yeah. [laughs]
No one gets in, Petra.
- [Maya] Oh, what are you twanks up to? - [Quinn laughs]
- No, but seriously, where is Zoë Kravitz? - Mmm.
She's having a mental breakdown because he fucked up the math of the mushrooms.
There are seven grams per chocolate.
- [gasps] - Oh, my God! Oh!
Wait, is that why I am so fucking high?
[shushes] I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yes. I'm sorry.
- Oh, my God, you drugged me! - Zoë did three. She did three of 'em.
[gasps] Oh, my God. What's wrong with you?
You fucking trying to bump her off or something?
- It was a miscalculation. - Murderer!
I wouldn't have put them out if I'd known they were that strong.
- Oh, my God! Oh! - Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Okay, if... [stammers]
Okay... This better not fucking fuck up her presentation tomorrow.
- She'll be fine. - She's our only hope!
- Mathematically impossible! - It's fine. She'll be fine.
Griffin took so many more. He took like eight or nine.
Oh, my God, you're a fucking menace, Remick.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - I wanna fucking kill you right now.
- I'm sorry. - Okay, I'm cool. I'm cool.
- Okay. [pants] - Okay. Where is Griffin?
He's at the party somewhere still, okay?
- Oh, he is at the party? - Yes. Okay.
- Okay, we're gonna just corral Griffin... - Okay.
...and we're going to sober him the fuck up
so he can get ready for his presentation.
A man in his 60s should never be that high.
- No. - Eighties.
- What? - Griffin is 82 years old.
- [Sal] Shut the fuck up! - Yeah, he told me, yeah.
His heart is going to explode and it's gonna be your fault.
Don't say that to me.
- You're gonna be a murderer. - If his heart explodes tonight,
we don't know it's my fault. It could've been a coincidence.
Maybe his heart just exploded.
- We should find him. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Griffin. Griffin. Griffin Mill. - Griffin. Griffin. Griffin.
You guys looking for Griffin Mill?
Yeah, yeah. Where is he? Do you know?
Oh, man, he was just here.
[inhales sharply] All right, listen, listen,
he was like, "Fuck this noise!"
Grabbed a fistful of straight nacho cheese
and shoved it in his mouth with his bare hands,
just straight to the dome. It was so gross.
But wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Just l-listen, listen. [chuckles]
You're gonna love it.
Okay, so, I-I was like... I was just, like, gonna grab some myself.
I was gonna eat some, like, literally just... I was gonna do it.
And... And then I was like, nope.
- Where is he? - [Maya] Yeah.
He went out the front door.
- I don't fucking know where he went. - Great! Thank you. Perfect. Fantastic.
- Wait. Wait, wait, wait. - What?
I'm gonna order some fresh nachos from room service.
- You guys want anything? - No! Who cares?
- [Maya] I will split them with you. - Uh, I'll save you some.
Hey! Hey. Hey. Matty.
I just went into the back bedroom to make a phone call
and found Zoë Kravitz crawling on the rug and talking to an imaginary baby.
- What is happening? - [Matt] Okay.
Look, her and Griffin Mill might have accidentally ingested
much too many "crunchrooms"... mushrooms.
- They what? - They're too high.
Why didn't you shut this party down, Matty?
Because I desperately need people to think I'm cool.
Fuck! These things are making me too honest.
- Shit! - You're not cool!
- I know! - He's not cool.
- Where is Griffin? - Okay, guess what.
He... [exclaims] ...disappeared.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Do you not understand?
If a journalist or anyone outside of Continental
sees Griffin Mill freaked out on mushrooms,
that's all anyone's going to talk about.
They're gonna be laughing at us. Laughing at us.
We'll be the laughingstock of CinemaCon.
- That and the Amazon sale-- - Don't say that.
No, no, no, look, Patty, you're the only sober person we know.
Will you help us find him, please?
Okay. Go!
- Thank you. Thank you. - Great. Thank you, Patty.
- Griffin. - Griffin.
Look. Look. Look.
- That's a nacho cheese. [gags] - Yeah, no shit it is. Jesus.
Oh, shit, look. There's more. There's more.
[Sal] Holy shit!
- [gasps] - [elevator dings]
- [Maya] We're close. - Okay, okay.
Oh. There's more on the casino.
- We're gonna find him, okay? - That better be cheese.
We're gonna find him.
[Sal] Wow. It's bright in here.
Where'd these people come from? How is it this crowded at 3:00 a.m.?
He could be anywhere. He could be literally anywhere.
Oh, my God. This place is fucking huge.
- Griffin! - [shushes] No, no, no.
We don't want people to know he's missing. Keep it down.
How the fuck are we supposed to find him then?
- Griffin! - [Matt shushes] Keep it on the down-low.
[stammering]
Spread out. Fan out. Fan out. I'll go this way.
- [babbling] - [Patty] Maya, come with me, dear.
[groans, grunts]
Mmm. Mmm. Protein. Mmm.
[Sal] Excuse me. Excuse me.
- Griffin. Griffin. Where are you? - Griffin. Griffin. Griffin.
- Oh, fuck! Oh, my God. - [Quinn groans]
There's fucking journalists everywhere. I just saw Matt Belloni over there. Fuck!
- Okay, we should split up. - Do some coke?
- No! Fuck. - Fucking find him.
- We'll find him faster. - Go, go, go. Smart, smart. Go, go.
Okay. Griffin! Griffin. Mr. Mill? [breathes heavily]
- [dealer] Sir, you can't do that. - [Griffin] What was that?
Sir, you can't bet a lobster. Chips only.
What the hell has happened to Las Vegas?
- Mr. Mill? Hi. Hi, hi. - Huh?
Um, we're gonna get you cleaned up, okay?
- Why? - [grunts] Because--
Do your parents know you're in a casino?
- Yes. I am twenty... [mumbles] - [Belloni] Quinn Hackett!
Matt Belloni. Hi.
- [breathes heavily] Hi. How's it going? - Hi.
My favorite entertainment journalist, how are you?
My favorite up-and-coming executive.
Yes. Um... [stammers] Shouldn't you be in bed or something?
I mean, it's almost morning.
I'll probably stay up, maybe go to the gym to keep me awake.
- Of course. - Sleep on my flight.
Yes, you know, that is prudent and sensible.
Listen, I will see you tomorrow
and I am a huge fan of the podcast.
Okay. Bye-bye.
- Good luck with the presentation. - Yeah. Thank you, thank you.
[Quinn] No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Fuck! Fuck! [groans] No!
- Ready? [exclaims] - Yeah. [exclaims]
[shutter clicks]
- Let's go. Come on. - Perfect. Are you gonna post it?
G-man! Been looking all over for you.
- How you doing, bud? - [gasps]
- Oh. Who are you? [groans] - Oh, God. Oh, God.
Sal Saperstein, man, VP Production.
- Let's get you standing. - Oh, my God.
- [Griffin] I don't know you. - There he is. You found him.
- Hi. - Hi, Quinn.
- Yeah, hello, you sneaky little minx. - You know her name.
All right, we're gonna get him somewhere.
- My legs aren't working very well. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You gotta fire those quadriceps, buddy. - Oh, whoa.
- Come on. Oh, my fucking God. - Whoa!
[yelps] Oh, God.
- Oh, right leg. Right, good. Good. - I had a lobster.
You had a lobster? [chuckles]
- His name was Stuart. Yeah. - Aw. I love that. I love Stuart.
- Just sit him down, sit him down. - There we go. Nice and easy.
- Jesus Christ. - Are you a puppet?
- Uh, no. - You found him! Holy shit! Oh, my God.
God, he is so fucked up.
No, he-he-he's fine. Look at him.
If this old man's heart explodes, I am not lying to the cops for you.
You don't have to lie! I didn't do anything illegal!
- You overdosed him, man! - I didn't! He overdosed himself.
- Okay, get over here! Get over here. - He overdosed himself.
Okay, we gotta pull the plug on Griffin talking tomorrow.
- Look at the stars. - He cannot. He cannot.
We gotta say he has food poisoning or he... he twisted his ankle.
- Anything, but he is not speaking. - No, no, no, no.
Look, we've already announced him, okay?
- Oh, my God. - We have to project strength.
If this board gets any sense
that we are anything other than in complete control of this ship,
we are completely fucked.
- Okay? Okay? - He's right. He's right.
- He is presenting. He is presenting. - [Quinn] Yeah. Yeah.
- [Maya gasps] Where did he go? - [Matt] What the fuck?
I don't know where... Where did he go? He disappeared.
- Shit. Shit. - [Quinn] Oh, God.
- What are you seeing? - There he is!
[Sal, Quinn] Oh, my God.
- We gotta get him. Follow him. - [Sal] Go, get him.
- [all clamoring] - I'm going as fast as I goddamn can.
[all] Move! Move!
[Maya] Move! [groans]
- [Matt] Move. Fucking shit. - [Maya] Move. Please move. Oh, God.
- [Sal] Jesus Christ! - [Quinn] Griffin!
- This way. Follow this way. - [Maya] Stay on the gondola!
[Quinn] We'll be right there.
[all clamoring]
- [Griffin] Oh, buddy. - Hold on, Griffin, it's Sal.
- [Griffin] Hi. Hi. - [Maya] Just stay in that thing.
[Griffin] Wow.
[Quinn] Oh, God.
[Griffin] ♪ I'm in a boat That's all she wrote ♪
♪ Tickle my scrote And my dick will float ♪
[groaning]
Ow. God.
[exclaims] I have arrived.
[belches]
This will be where I disembark, Mr. Gondolero.
Thank you. [grunts]
I shall have to get you next time.
Griffin Mill. [chuckles] I found you.
Patty Leigh.
The bitch of all bitches.
Oh, my God, I can't believe I'm seeing you in the flesh.
Wait a minute. Wait, wait. Didn't I fire your ass?
- Uh, yeah. Yeah, you did. - [laughs]
That's what I thought. [cackles]
Hey, kid!
Hundred bucks if you let me use your phone for two minutes.
Hundred bucks? Hell, yeah.
Here you go. Here you go. Thank you. Thank you.
[clears throat, coughs]
[Belloni] Hello.
[in deep voice] Oh, uh, is this Matt Bologna?
- Belloni. - Uh, that's what I said.
Okay, uh, who am I talking to?
An... An anonymous source.
Ooh, mysterious. I like it. You got a scoop?
Oh, yeah.
Uh, come to the, uh, front of the Venetian if you know what's good for you.
Uh, I'm sorry, I can't understand a word you're saying.
[inhales sharply] I said come to the front of the Venetian
if you want the scoop of the year.
Be there soon.
[Griffin blowing]
[Griffin retching]
