- Here's your chai latte.

- Can I get a large coffee to go?

- Soy cappuccino for David.

Uh...

Excuse me, sir? Sir.

Sir. Yeah, you. Sorry.

You do realize that you just cut

in front of a bunch of people, right?

I'm so sorry. I didn't know.

Did you not know?

I'm just in a big rush, so...

So you did know.

And I'm sure everyone here is in a rush.

Okay, is this really happening?

She was looking at the pastries,

so l just-- I thought...

It's not just her.

It's everyone behind her.

If you wanna ask every single person

if it's okay that you cut, be my guest.

Don't assume your time

is more important than others'.

Thank you for the lecture.

Have a great day, everybody. Not you.

American culture is dying, and there's

an unrelenting appetite in this country

for reality shows,

talentless pop stars like Riley Banks,

recycled, bloated movie franchises.

The more we consume crap,

the more we want crap.

You are what you eat.

It sounds utterly hopeless.

ls there an upshot?

I think there will be a groundswell

movement toward simplicity.

People will crave spiritual,

mental and physical nourishment.

It'll be back to basics.

Wow. A lot to chew on.

For more on this gloomy

but interesting subject,

look out for Celeste Martin's

new book, Shitegeist,

on bookshelves Monday.

I had dinner with the drama club.

Who's that?

Beth and Tucker.

They left in the middle of dinner

because they don't approve

of me and Jesse hanging out.

It is so judgy. We're fine. If we were gay,

we wouldn't be having this conversation.

We'd just be friends.

You are not ready to let go of each other.

There's nothing wrong with that.

There's nothing wrong with it.

I mean, what do you think?

Well, to be honest--

Oh, my God.

We're signing Riley Banks?

What the f***, Scott?

I just trashed her on TV.

That's why I wanted you to come in

It's a huge account.

We built this company so we didn't

have to sign accounts like Riley Banks.

You and I may not have a company

if we don't take Riley Banks.

I don't understand.

She's like a vagina and a hairdo.

She's releasing a new CD.

She wants us to do the branding

and merchandising.

Ugh. Fine.

I'm gonna go eat my feelings.

If you want my opinion,

I do think you should start dating.

Scott, I'm fine.

I have so much time. I'm not worried.

Do me a favor and get your f*** on

before you meet the next guy.

What is that? What are you doing?

Sorry. I was trying to be

your saucy gay friend.

Didn't feel good.

No. Don't. Mm-mm.

The economic climate

is real bad, man.

I think my business

is taking the hardest hit of all.

It's brutal. Is it just me

or is nobody talking about it?

You sell weed, Skillz.
