The puppy here was asleep at the wheel.

Whoa, the puppy was not

asleep behind no wheel.

- What happened?

- You put four calls in to the guy.

He hasn't returned one

in three weeks.

Phil Balow's not calling me back?

Jeez, I must have been so crazy,

I didn't even notice.

Didn't we send him something?

That was last month

when he moved downtown.

Phil moved downtown?

Yeah. Him and Sela

got a loft downtown.

I guess they think the Westside

is too white or something.

Downtown?

Yeah, I don't get it either.

You know what?

I don't really get any of this, but, Jack,

fantastic Job signing David Lilly.

It's amazing watching

the master work.

Thanks, Fineberg.

You're the best partner

a guy could ask for.

Sounds to me like you're

about to lose Phil, Jack.

Goddamn it.

Phil Balow was the creator

of the situation comedy,

The DiPsy Doodle Show.

I can't afford a problem with Phil.

It's all a math equation.

I'm me because at any given time,

I have three Phil Balows.

Hey.

Jack! Jesus!

Sorry.

Did I catch you

at a bad time?

No. Well, yeah.

I mean...

No, you know, we're Just in the middle of,

you know, rehearsal.

Sure, sure.

What's up?

What's up?

You haven't returned

my calls in three weeks.

It's not like you, Phil.

I Just want to make sure

everything's okay.

Yeah, no, yeah.

Oh, no, yeah, no.

I'm good. No, I'm fine.

- You happy?

- No, yeah.

Yes, yes, no.

- Yeah. Yeah, no.

- Okay. All right.

It's all good, right?

I mean, that's the thing, right?

But... right.

But you know what?

I gotta do this, 'cause, you know...

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Right, right.

- So... Okay.

- All right. Great.

- Okay, man.

- Good to see you.

- Okay, okay, okay.

- All right.

I'll talk to you soon.

Okay. Okay.

- Looks good.

- Okay. Okay.

So, we can't say "vulva,"

but we can say "fallopian."

I don't understand.

I think "vulva" is fine.

Now, is it the product?

Is it because of Volvo

that we can't say that...

You have one new message.

Sent today at 6:
01 p.m.

Hey, Jack, it's Phil.

Look, I gotta talk to you.

It was tough today

when you came by.

Something's going on.

You know?

And it's Just not like me.

We've got to sit down.

You know, we been through

a lot together, you and I,

and let's talk in the morning.

Okay, we should talk.

He's leaving the agency.

I knew it.

What a life.

Jack! Jack!

L... I love these fish.

They... they make me happy.

Sorry.

How about some trousers?

Okay.

Yes.

Jack.

Yes?

I've been sleeping with Phil.

It Just happened.

He was obsessed with me.

And we'd get together and...

I lost control

and it happened.

But it's over, Jack.

I swear it's over.

I'm so sorry.

So that's what he's
