masquerading as disclosure.

It's what you know about

yourself without my help.

Your postman knows

more about you than this.

I want more.

This week, I want secrets.

Things other people don't know.

Things you don't know... yet.

Because, you see,

the clues to who you are

are buried in those secrets.

It's like hidden gold under

a twenty-foot pile of horseshit.

Nobody wants to dig through it.

But guess what?

It's in there. The truth.

Waiting patiently under

all the horseshit

that is the build-up

of our silly little lives.

So...

go in and get it, people.

Dig for the truth.

And people, please.

Spelling. It's important.

Get it right.

So...

I'll see you next week.

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

You're up.

This was your mother's favorite show.

I waited too long to marry.

I should have done it in my twenties.

I'm too set in my ways.

I've treated Nina

like a possession,

one of the things I've struggled for,

like my company,

my clients, my abdomen.

I work harder on my abdomen

than I do on my marriage.

You know why?

Because this will be

the David Lilly Agency, that's why.

Because every

single person we have here

would be devoted

to advancing your career.

Come on, David.

I talked to you last week.

You said you'd think about it.

You're unrepresented right now.

Yeah, Jack,

I thought it through,

and I'm gonna pass

and say thank you.

All right.

I understand that.

That's perfectly reasonable.

But will you

at least do me the honor

of passing to me in person

on the floor of

the Lakers game tonight?

Hold on a second, okay?

Hey, Brynn.

- Brynn.

- What?

You have play rehearsal tonight?

- Why? Who is that?

- It's Jack Giamoro.

He wants to know if I want

to go to the Lakers tonight.

Come on.

The hell he does.

He knows you left your agent.

He Just wants to sign you.

What's going on?

Tell him you have to

take care of the kids.

Listen, Jack, I'm sorry.

I cannot do it tonight.

Brynn is in this play,

and tonight she's got rehearsal,

so I'm stuck with the kids.

The kids.

- Game over.

- I understand that.

It's more important than any of this.

Good for you.

Listen, buddy, I would benefit

from spending some time with you.

What's he saying?

So, Just selfishly,

will you have lunch with me this week?

Okay, Jack.

Sounds great.

Thank you. Okay.

All right, I'll talk to you soon.

Take care of yourself.

All right.

Piece of sh*t.

Well, he trumped you with

that stuff with the kids.

By the way, the Laker game?

Jack, come on.

You sound like a fool saying that.

Every agency has got

Laker floor seats now, so...

Anyway, you've got a bigger problem

than not signing David Lilly.

Phil Balow.
