This conversation about weather

is really fascinating,

but lucky for me, we are here.

So, good luck.

Whatever happens, happens.

I told you, I don't really want it.

Just do me a favor?

Act like you do so that I look good.

- I can do that.

- Okay. Go get 'em.

This is great, by the way.

Watch it!

- Hey!

- You're still here?

Yeah. Well, it's my job.

Nice.

So, tell me, how'd it go?

They bought it.

You're safe for a little while longer.

Well, thank you. I owe you one.

This is from you.

It's your offer.

- Wait, I got it?

- They called about five minutes ago.

Congratulations. Offer expires at midnight.

Why didn't you just tell me

instead of texting me?

'Cause it's more dramatic.

Dylan, you are not gonna sh*t the bed.

I've seen your work. It's amazing.

It's a huge move.

Would you uproot your entire

life for a job? Be honest.

Well, no. For a job, probably not.

But for New York? Yeah, I would.

Which is why I'm not gonna

try to sell you on the job,

I'm gonna sell you on New York.

It's New York!

I've seen Seinfeld.

Not the bullshit tourist version.

Puppy dog eyes. Nice touch.

Yes! Come on.

Let me buy you a drink.

What's wrong?

What are you waiting for?

The light to change.

You LA folk are so cute.

Come on.

Come on, it's fine.

- See?

- Yep.

I'm gonna die.

Here we have Brooklyn Bridge,

downtown Manhattan,

and right in front of us, an outdoor bar.

Alcohol. Now we're talking.

You know, I like you.

I'll give you your choice of closes.

- What?

- How I close you on this job.

- Okay.

- So we got the flattery close.

Dylan, you are so good at what you do.

The take-it-or-leave-it close.

Man, I don't care if you take it.

I get paid regardless.

The sympathy close.

You see, my kidneys are failing...

Why do women think the only way

to get a man to do what they want

is to manipulate him?

History. Personal experience.

Romantic comedies.

Come on, you're here for a reason,

whether you want to admit it or not.

Yeah, to explore an option.

Who wouldn't want to know their options?

Someone who's in the perfect situation.

Are you in the perfect situation?

Job? Absolutely.

Everything else? None of your business.

Shaun!

- Jamie!

- Hey!

- Hey, what's up, baby?

- What are you doing here?

- Shaun White?

- You look great.

- You been working out?

- Nope. Just been eating a lot.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- You want a drink?

- Yeah!

- Let me get you a drink. Yeah?

- Okay.

- Careful! Careful.

- Sorry.

Hey, bro, that was like

a double McTwist 1260.

- Yeah, like the trick.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dylan.

Jamie, you want to get this guy

out of my face

before I break his f***ing skull?

Sorry, bro. No disrespect. I'm a huge fan.
