F*** you, Glen. That's my China.

Her mother's retarded,

and her father's a douche,

but she's got me.

And I don't need your permission

or "thanks for staying in her life".

China and I are bros.

And you can shove your boundaries

up your back puss hole.

- Seriously.

- I-okay. I got it.

I'm ready.

Chine, who do you love more?

Me or your dad?

You, obviously.

Goodbye, Daddy. I love you.

- Where do you wanna go?

- Cipriani's.

Oh.

Oh-ho-ho!

Oh, my-oh, what the f***?

What the f***?!

What?

Hang on, I'm sending this to you.

Okay.

Oh.

Oh, there's an ad.

You gotta watch the ad.

Okay.

- Oh! Oh, Jesus!

- Ah!

What the hell?!

What the hell?

What the f***?

Oh!

Did you tell the network

they could have that show

for the fall?

They-they wanted it for the fall.

The fall, Glen?

H-h-how are we gonna

get the show staffed,

and cast, and shot,

and cut in time to air

in September, when you haven't

f***ing written it yet?

I'll get-I'll get it written.

Get it written?

Glen, it's April.

W-why did you put us

in this position?

Because that's what they had open.

They had a slot in the fall,

and so I grabbed it.

So we have another show on the air.

Isn't that what we want?

To stay working,

to say on television?

They want the show for the fall.

If we can't do it,

th-they push us to mid-season.

But don't you see what

this does to the company, Glen?

What this does to me?

'Cause I like to try to do the things

that we say we're gonna do.

Yes, Paula, and you do.

You do it every time.

That's why you're a rock star,

and that's why you're my partner.

No, no, Glen, I'm not a rock star.

I just work. And I never complain.

Right? You tell me you need

a horse dangling from a helicopter

over the ocean. I don't ask you

what you need it for.

I just go out and I f***ing do it.

I-I go out and I find a-

a pilot and an aircraft.

I find a-a slimy animal handler

who is willing to dangle

this f***ing horse

off a helicopter

over the ocean.

An experience from which the animal

will never recover, by the way.

And we r-rig them out on a barge

and we go out and we f***ing shoot it.

Because you told me it was

"essential to the storyline."

Jesus, I never saw that.

What show is that for?

No, no, you didn't, 'cause he cut it.

And no one will ever be able

to explain to that f***ing horse

why it had that experience.

Well, we gave $10,000 to PETA.

Great. The horse will

never see that money.

I don't think horses

remember, do they?

Look, Gle-,

I-I would die for you, Glen.

You know that. I-I-I'm sworn to do

that like a s-f***ing knight in armor.

I know.

But when you pull bullshit like this,

w-w-when you turn

my own ability against me,
