New gun spins me around

New gun spins me around

New gun spins me around

Right there.

I like that.

Yeah, that's good.

Tom, turn your head a little

this way, eyes at the camera.

Kaleil, tilt your head

a little more.

Yes, right there.

Okay, I'm ready.

You guys leaving?

I'm going to start

an internet company.

Do you want twists or braids?

I- I don't want twists.

- Do you want braids?

- No, I don't want braids.

You want two open ponytails?

Yeah.

Okay. Well,

that's what you've got.

Okay, look at me.

Look at me.

It's okay.

They're actually...

If you look, they're pretty far off.

One's up in the front,

and one's in the back.

- Do you want them even? I want them even.

- No, no.

- No, I don't want them even.

- Don't move.

This is not good enough.

- Gonna get them more even.

- Even.

I know.

Life is tough, babe.

There's a lot of hardship

in life.

And one of them is

your father doing your hair.

That's one of the hardships

of life...

that little girls

have to deal with, just like you.

- How's that?

- It's beautiful.

What do you think?

Oh, my god! You're

wearing a suit that matches.

- I'm wearing a suit...

- And a tie. - And a tie.

I have an important announcement

to make.

And that is that we have

a new C.E.O.

He has recently left

Goldman Sachs...

and is now on full time

with public data systems,

Soon to be govworks.

- So, Kaleil, welcome to the team.

- Thank you, tom.

- We're glad to have you here.

- I want to, in the same vein,

Thank you guys

for your patience.

This is the beginning

of a great thing.

And I'm grateful to all of you

for the confidence in me...

that we're going to be able

to make this happen,

And we are going

to make it happen.

Just look at that

on the screen...

and tell me this is not

the brand of the 21st century.

Govworks. Com. We got it.

This is it.

Well done.

Do you use e-Mail?

Are you on the internet? - No.

- Do you use e-Mail?

- I really do. Yes.

You do?

Let me ask you a question.

We have a company.

We're choosing between two names.

One name is Govworks,

Or nextown,

N-E-X-T-O-W-N. - Nextown.

- If you were going to invest...

- In Nextown, that's right.

- Why?

- Sounds better. I don't know.

It just attracts me more.

I don't like government.

I don't like being

a company that's called "GOV".

Less than ten minutes ago,

we were slapping high fives,

And giving hugs

and spreading love.

And now you're ready

to quit the company.

What company

do you work for? - Nextown.

You work where? In the next

town? - No, no, do this with me.

What's the name of your

company? - Nextown technologies.

- I work for Govworks.

- What do you do?

We're an internet portal.

We facilitate interactions...

between local government

and their constituents.

We help government work.

Do you have $11?

I have four bucks.

This is "charge it day". - This

is the billion dollar start-Up.

We can't pay for dinner.

You know what?

Forget about investors.

What do you want?

I want the company to be called

unto Caesar. Com.

- That's the whole problem.

- Okay.

Hi, I'm Kaleil coming to sell you

a $2 million systems integration,

Uh, Mr. Mayor.

And I'm from unto Caesar.

Nice to meet you. - Yeah.

Come on, now.

I can live with it

because I love it.

At this point, Kaleil,

why don't you...

close your eyes or take a walk,

and come back with a decision.

Because that's ultimately

what you're going to have to do.

When you come back

the decision is going to be final,

And we're all going to be happy

about it. - I'm gonna go meditate.

I did what I do before...

every major decision in my life.

And that is sit and meditate.

And I decided that...

we are Govworks.

- And that...

- That's it.

Let's call it Govworks. Com

for now.

We're not entirely sure

it's gonna be it.

But you go to Govworks. Com

to do basically anything you do

With local government.

It's a tremendous market space.

It's a vertical market

of $586 billion.

When you look at parking

tickets in New York alone,

It's about

a $500 million market.

There's a lot of money sloshing

around in this marketplace.

To get a few crumbs means a lot.

We think we have a set...

of relationships

that can make this happen.

It's a matter of execution. You'll

get the money, you've seen that.

You'll get the money

and the team.

I think it's a business that

goes. Who's the competition?

The guys that potentially

keep me up at night...

You know,

sidewalk. Com or city search...

or somebody deciding

that they want to do this.

- That's why speed is king.

- Yeah.

First mover advantage...

They'll be like any other market.

There'll be two,

three people who make it here.

One who gets half the market,

Two other people

who share the other half.

And everybody else loses.

Kaleil.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

You need to get dressed.

You can sleep in the car,

but let's go.

You slept for two hours.

What more do you need?

You're a superstar. You don't need

more than two hours' sleep.

Come on.

Come on, get up.

Let's get out of here

in five minutes, all right?

I can't believe it, dude.

We're here.

You keep saying

we're in San Francisco.

This is not San Francisco.

This is silicon valley.

It's ringing.

Is that a cell phone?

- Hey.

- Hey, it's tom.

Hey, baby.

I want to pass on some good news.

I can hardly contain myself.
