What's a stupid number?

What's stupid?

A "badillion"? I don't know.

Because 120 is stupid. Am I wrong?

120 is a stupid number.

But it's not really

a money thing right now.

Mr. Roy, someone's here to see you.

- Okay. Who's this?

- Hi, Kendall Roy?

Yeah, hi.

I was sent by Roman to burn some sage.

Excuse me?

It's auspicious.

I'm a business alchemist.

It's a gift, from your brother.

Will it set off the smokey alarms?

- Not usually.

- Not usually?

Hey, hey, motherfuckers!

- Roman.

- My guy?

Are you saging?

Well, we're concerned about the alarms.

Ooh, right, yeah, the bad juju.

Now, I can use essential oils.

Oh, I think just f*** off, thanks.

How ya doing?

Good. Good. Just finessing.

Mm. Finessing. Nice.

Bye.

He's good.

You okay, man?

Okay? Yes, I'm okay. Obviously.

Why would you even ask that?

I don't know. Just, you know.

Here? Man, I'm so over it.

I was a bad fit.

I was never a corporate

cock-suck anyway.

Besides, I never made it this

high in the f***ing building!

They stuck me in LA

with Old Father Time right here.

We were the pool boys, right, Frank?

F***in' banana cabana?

Good times.

So, what's the bid?

- What's the bid?

- Mm-hmm.

Well...

What? That's commercially sensitive?

I'm still on the board, man.

Going 125.

One-twenty-five?

- What?

- F***!

What? High or low?

- You're laughing. What?

- No.

- For Vaulter, right?

- Yeah.

Bit of content and a brand name?

Bit of content and a brand name

kinda's the whole game.

- Isn't it?

- Mm-hmm.

What are you laughing at?

I don't know what I'm talking about.

You're gonna be captain

of the ship soon enough.

- So I don't...

- Shh.

Oh, sh*t.

Sorry. F*** you, man.

Every intern on the street

knows that you're stepping up.

Seriously, congrats.

I'm just so pleased to be out of here.

This place was essentially a cage to me.

I should take off. F*** it.

Hey, congrats, man.

- Thanks for coming by.

- Mm-hmm.

Mwah.

Look at all this f***in' bullshit!

Mm, yes, mm, very serious, mm.

Love you, brother.

Good.

Right.

Just keep everything straight, okay?

Good.

By the way, we need another setting.

Another family member is coming.

- Marcy.

- What?

I'm heading out,

as ordered.

Great. Till 1:
00...

Fine. But in here, yeah?

I don't want a f***in' heart

attack from the surprise.

And I don't want anyone in my face

when I come out of the elevator.

Right. Distance.

Have them here. And, uh...

- What?

- Not too loud.

Do you want me to email you the

exact details of the surprise?

Yeah?

- I'll see you later.

- Yeah.

Right. Get your coat.

Yeah, yeah.

Richard, get him his coat.

Of course.

- Just double-check.

- Okay.

When were you gonna look at that speech?
