Mike, how are you?

Joe Turner.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to be rude.

But do you work for

Southern California Telephone?

No, no, I'm in sales at Calcom.

Just trying to close

a deal with Tony's office.

Do you know what this is?

Look, Mike, I'm just

doing Tony a favor.

I was heading to corporate.

He asked me

to pick up a package.

That's all I know.

Just have Tony send it back

through intercompany mail.

Will do.

Hi, Jane.

Jane, would you stick that

in the mail?

I'm late for a meeting.

Send it to Mike Leahy.

I owe you one.

Don't talk to your boyfriend.

I'm not talking to...

Can you hold on a second?

I don't know who that was.

Hey, boys.

Glad you called.

We brought some toys.

Yeah? Great. Love it.

Thanks.

We scanned the place.

It's clean.

Great. Yeah.

Of course it is.

Hey, I got the need to pee.

I'll be right back.

What a nice guy.

Yeah, what a tremendously

nice guy.

And really current.

He's the sh*t.

He's completely the sh*t.

Icebreaker is the sh*t.

Oh, all right.

Got a present for you.

Nice.

Let's see it.

I think you'll like this.

It's Christmas day.

Let's see it.

All right.

Whoo!

Where the f*** did you get this?

Where did you get this?

When you have something for us,

we'll have something for you.

We gots to go.

Oh, sh*t.

You told them about SAS?

How could you be so stupid?

The plan was I start a dialogue!

I did what I had to do.

You told me you could

deliver Mitnick,

but instead,

you tell him about SAS?

You know what that means?

Mitnick will now do anything

he can to get that system,

which means we have to shut

the system down!

He's already got it.

The system.

Lance.

I did my best.

Lance!

Where are you calling me from?

What?

Where are you calling me from?

My house, why?

If you're Mitnick and Lowe, what

would be the first phone number

that you would activate

with the SAS system?

Might it not be yours?

Uh...

Sh*t.

Oh, man, that is awesome.

That is awesome.

Oh, dude.

They're pissed at you.

They're gonna come

looking for you.

My probation's up in three days.

Yeah, they're gonna come in

3 days, minus 2 seconds.

I know.

Damn it!

Good morning, Osiris.

What time is your flight

to Washington?

Good morning.

You want some coffee?

Why don't you just

stay here and sleep in?

Like I ever sleep in.
