terrorist attack?

Should we flee?

[sighs]

L-I couldn't

sell the story.

L-I called and I pleaded

and I begged everyone I knew.

Who's everyone?

Post, The Times,

interview.

So none of the paparazzi

that were there-

none of them

printed anything.

No.

Not even a blog?

L-I tried.

[sighs]

Liv, I think if you want

to impact mass culture

in America, you need to take

this to the next level.

I think you need

to go really big.

National publicity stunts.

Viral campaigns.

Armies of women

in every single city.

I think you need

to make so much noise

that these policy-makers

have no other choice

but to listen.

With, I can't afford

to eat at a restaurant.

Where am I gonna get

the cash for a revolution?

We'll find the money.

We'll start a nonprofit.

We're gonna make it work.

We?

What do you mean, "we"?

What are you saying,

Snow White?

I'm saying I just lost my

job over this article,

I'm about to get evicted,

and I have nothing

left to lose.

You honestly believe that we can

change the laws in this country?

Yeah.

[car horn blaring]

[funky electronic music]

Orson!

Orson!

II:

Orson!

II:

Orson!

What's that on your head?

Check for f***ing $5,000.

Why'd you put it on your head?

That's a dumb place

to put a check.

Yeah; let's go pig out,

like, now.

Okay. Yeah. I'm down.

How much of that

did you see?

Like, all of it,

or just the end part?

[indistinct chatter]

Do you honestly believe

that we can change the laws

in this country?

Do you want to hear

a quote that sums up

my entire theory of life?

(Liv)

Okay

(With)

First they ignore you,

then they laugh at you,

then they fight you,

and then you win.

(Liv)

Who said that?

(With)

Mahatma Gandhi.

It's very optimistic.

Yeah.

I We got money I

I mean, money

isn't really real.

If you think about it,

it's like pretty colored paper

and lots of numbers

in a computer.

Uh, that's the single dumbest

thing you've ever said.

[laughs]

Money is 100% real.

Well.

It's the realest

thing I know.

This is real.

- That's for me?

- Mm-hmm.

You are such

a good friend.

[laughs]

For rent and cable

and 500 for all the takeout

you've been buying.

Well, I'm not gonna

take money for takeout.

Why aren't you gonna

take money for takeout?

What? Because that's

just me as a friend

buying you lunch.

- Just take it.

- I'm not-no.

Because no.

Just receive.

Fine.

Okay.

I'm not happy

about it,

and I'll hold

this against you.

[phone beeps]

Oh, Jim Black.

Jim Black?

Who's that?

Inquiring minds

want to know.

Yeah, yeah.

This DC PR guy that

I worked with at the paper

finally texted me back.

DC PR guy?

What do you mean you're

texting a DC PR guy?
