in Africa, didn't you?

At Groton, this guy's name

comes up all the time.

Tommy wins this award,

Tommy's banging so-and-so.

The past few years,

I haven't heard the name.

Which is, frankly, quite a relief.

I feel like less of a loser.

Porty, uh, my two friends I was telling

you about, Edward and Isabella.

Porty McCabe.

Porty McCabe.

Tommy, you're kind of

rolling deep.

(WHISPERING) I mentioned

them in my email.

Porty, come on.

Tommy.

I'm sorry.

They're my friends.

I thought it was a party.

It is, it is.

But it's kind of a work party.

So it's...

You brought us to a work party?

Yeah, yeah, but it'll be fine.

It'll be fine, come on.

Come on!

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

You're protecting the jam.

I get it. But...

...I don't want to

mess this up

because I don't know

what's going on.

(WHISPERING) You're doing fine.

Just don't leave the tent.

Keep Porty occupied.

Oh. And don't drink

the champagne.

I have to go.

Can I get you a drink?

No, I'm great.

You are great, aren't you'?

IZZY:
I guess a match

isn't in our future.

I like hard courts.

You're too young

to know better.

Edward, this is Rory Houston.

He's on

Mr. McCabe's board.

Nice meeting you, sir.

Edward Eneicher.

I didn't realize you

had a glass, honey.

Want some champagne?

Thank you.

Have you felt the fake grass

courts with your bare feet?

It's impossible to

tell the difference.

That's why

there's such a fervent

pro-life movement

in this country.

I don't follow.

Everything else

is dead or dying.

Even the grass is fake.

We should probably go find...

Porty.

Excuse us.

Cool it.

Here you go.

Bob, Sarah. This is my stepfather.

This is his party.

Robert. Is this your friend

from boarding school?

I went to public school.

Me, too. I believe in pulling

yourself up by your bootstraps.

Nothing to stop you

but laziness and terrorism.

ROBERT:
(CHUCKLES) Where did

you find this firecracker?

It's nice to see so many people in uniform.

You're in the military?

I work in

the private sector now.

Robert is being modest. He's

the McCabe in McCabe-Grey.

The pharmaceutical company.

Mmm-hmm.

Excuse me.

Sir?

Can I use your phone?

Yes, but this one's actually dying.

I have one in my room.

You want to...?

Wonderful.

This way.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Just a minute!

(KNOCKING CONTINUES)

WOMAN:
Our Vice President,

Paige Williams.

(PEOPLE CLAPPING)

Tonight we're

happy to announce...

...the government will be supplying

our miracle drug, Denoxin...

...to every man

and woman in uniform.

(GUESTS CLAPPING)

Allow me to

introduce our CEO...

...who has led this particular charge

and welcomed us into his home.
