w-when you promise things

to people I-I can't do,

w-when y-you set me up

to f***in' fail

so you could hold on

to a time slot

for a show that you

h-haven't even written yet

about nurses, Glen?

Glen, w-why are we doing

a show about nurses?

What the f*** do you

know about a nurse?

Or anybody who works hard

and gives a sh*t about their job?

Hmm?!

Paula...

What do you want me to say?

I mean, I'm sorry.

If you wanna farm it out,

we can farm it out, you wanna...

We'll hire somebody else

to produce it.

F*** you, Glen.

That's bullshit.

I'll f***ing do it.

But I'll tell you what,

you better be ready.

You better sh*t out

twelve episodes.

We have 'em.

- What's that?

- We already did the pilot.

Because I'm telling you what.

That show is gonna be

on the air in September.

Because I do

what I say I'm gonna do.

Even if it was you

that said I was gonna do it.

But I tell you, if you ever

promise a show on a timeline again

without talking to me first,

I would f***ing quit.

Okay, so... I mean, good.

So, we're gonna do it.

I-I, y-you had me worried

you weren't gonna do it

when you came in here.

So, we're good. Right?

I mean... Paula, I'm sorry.

Come on. I'm really sorry.

She seems upset.

Ah, she'll be all right.

Hey, what show is the horse

over the ocean thing for?

Doesn't matter.

- Hi, honey!

- Hi, Daddy!

Hey, how are you?

You having a good time?

Yeah, um...

Hey, Daddy, is it okay

if I stay here a few more days?

Oh, honey, you're missin'

a lot of school.

Daddy, i-it's senior year,

it doesn't matter.

I know that you said that,

but I don't know, China.

Why don't you just come home?

Um... hold on...

Daddy, listen, um...

this is really good for me.

I really need this right now.

But if you have to say no,

it's okay. I-I totally understand.

No, I mean, just, let's-let me

let me think about it

- and then we'll talk later, okay?

- Okay.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

- Okay. Bye, Daddy.

- Bye.

Hey, uh...

didn't China just come

home from spring break?

Yeah. She went back

to Florida this week.

S-so you let her go back.

She...

Yes, I let her.

And-and now, she uh, she wants

to stay a little bit longer?

Yeah.

So, do you ever

say no to her?

I didn't just,

I didn't just say yes to her.

Well, you didn't just

say no, either, now did ya?

Mother, may I

Oh, mother, may I

Mother, may I

suck a dick?

Yeah?

Dick Welker's on the phone.

Okay.

- Glen?

- Hi, Dick.

Hey, I heard your nurses

show got picked up.

That's a f***ing boner!

Uh, yeah, we're pretty excited.

No, it's all good, and I'm

gonna make your day perfect.

I've got your lead.

No, the lead is cast, Dick.
