- Right.

Someone should put him

out of his misery.

Seriously.

No, I mean literally.

Someone should literally put

him out of his f***ing misery.

Angel.

You can go.

I will see you maana.

Okay.

But when they married

each other, she was a fatty.

She was, like,

50 pounds heavier than she is today.

I was like,

"Don't do it!"

Fat people are so funny.

- Gracias.

- You wanna come to my room tonight?

Yeah, I'm really tired.

- Hey, buddy.

- What did I miss?

I'm gonna check some e-mails,

and maybe hit the sauna,

after I punch out

a little CrossFit.

Then I'll see you guys

in the morning.

You sure?

Do you...

You know,

I'm gonna crash, too.

It's gonna be

an early flight, so...

- That's it then.

- Good night.

What is your problem?

You just f***ing left me.

Right.

Someone should

put him out of his misery.

No, I mean literally.

Someone should literally put

him out of his f***ing misery.

Well,

when the sale goes through,

that's the last you're gonna

see of Harold Soyinka.

He is on the 86 list.

Maybe they're gonna

give him severance,

but I just think they're gonna

f***ing clean house.

His wife

must be a real winner.

Actually, she is.

But when they married

each other, she was a fatty.

She was, like,

50 pounds heavier than she is today.

Okay.

Richard is supposed

to be my friend.

- It's unbelievable!

- Just unbelievable!

You have

every right to be upset.

I swear...

I know I'm not supposed to

touch the mini-bar,

but I'm going to do it!

You know,

I don't even care anymore!

I'm doing it!

I'm having the Merlot!

I feel horrible.

I should've told you

to your face.

What should you have

told me to my face?

- The e-mail.

- What e-mail?

Just go ahead

with what you were saying.

No, no, no.

What should you have told me?

You know the invisible

gorilla experiment, Harold?

Why is everyone talking about

gorillas all of a sudden?

There's this video, right?

Some people in black shirts,

some people in white shirts.

And you have to count

how many times

the people in white shirts

pass this ball back and forth.

This person in a gorilla suit

walks in the middle

of the group.

The experiment

is whether or not

you're so focused

on the ball

that you miss the gorilla.

You would've been part

of the group that missed it.

Missed what?

I'm having an affair.

I'm leaving you.

That's what the e-mail says.

You didn't notice the gorilla.

So,

the affair is the gorilla?

Yes.

What is the ball?

Is our marriage the ball?

I don't know what the ball is.

I'm not supposed to be

looking for gorillas, Bonnie.

I'm supposed to be

watching the ball.

That's my job.

Sorry!

Why am I always getting
