00:05Hi, Billy.
00:07Oh, well, text me when you're close, and I'll come down.
00:10Okay.
00:11Not out.
00:13Not possible off.
00:16No more shoe shopping on TikTok.
00:20Oh, fuck!
00:21Oh, God, you scared me.
00:23I thought you'd left.
00:23No, I've got to change my shoes.
00:25These heels are not like walking in sneakers.
00:29So, um, Val, um, uh, there's something I have to, I have to tell you.
00:37Yeah, uh-huh.
00:38I didn't want to bring it up last night because of that CNN mess, but, um, you're gonna see it
00:44now.
00:45See what?
00:47I got a tattoo at Burning Man.
00:49Oh, yeah, what, did you get a little marijuana leaf on your ankle?
00:52Yeah, I don't know how you're gonna feel about this, but it's something I feel very strongly about.
00:56I'm making a big deal over just a little mark!
01:01You'll never be able to go swimming again.
01:03I can, if I own what it says.
01:06Turn around, what does it say?
01:08Anywhere else.
01:09Okay, so you, what, didn't want to be at Burning Man that bad?
01:14No, I don't want to be here that bad.
01:17I'm not happy.
01:20I've done a lot of thinking lately and...
01:23You're leaving me.
01:24Yes, I'm leaving you and announced it with a tattoo.
01:28It says anywhere else, not anyone else.
01:31Okay, all right.
01:33But, Mark, look, it's just, I am here and you don't want to be here.
01:36Not here, here.
01:40Oh, right, okay, yeah.
01:42God, get out of your head.
01:43Change your head.
01:44No, just don't put words in my mouth.
01:46I'm stuck, Val.
01:47I don't like where I am.
01:49I got a tattoo as a reminder.
01:52Okay, just not sure it's a good idea to get a forever reminder that you don't want to be here.
01:58Well, what's your point?
02:00Well, when something's bad, you've got to move on.
02:03You can't just stare at it.
02:05You can't even see it anyway, Mark.
02:07It's on your back.
02:08Can you read backwards?
02:10Well, I wasn't going to get it on my face.
02:13I'm not a freak.
02:14That's right.
02:15You're not.
02:17Okay, Marky Mark, as much as I would like to not be anywhere else but here,
02:21I've got to meet Billy downstairs, and these shoes hurt, too.
02:25We're chasing down Polly G.
02:27What?
02:27Yeah, well, I need to get him on camera, admitting that he leaked the AI info.
02:33I don't know if this is wise, Val.
02:35Says the 62-year-old with fresh ink.
02:44Hi.
02:45Oh, Jane.
02:46Hi.
02:48You know it wasn't me, right?
02:50I do, yeah.
02:52Thanks for going on CNN.
02:55You even put on lipstick.
02:57No.
02:57A little.
02:58Yeah.
03:00So what are you doing here, Jane?
03:04Can I come back?
03:06What's happening to you now is wrong, and I want to defend you, but not do it for some corporate,
03:13conglomerate, HD, video, B-roll, filler content bullshit.
03:20I want to do it on my own, properly, with this.
03:26This is the camera that I filmed the lesbians of Tribalinko with.
03:30That's how serious I am about doing it.
03:33Is that the camera you won the Oscar with?
03:36Sure.
03:36Let's do it.
03:37Yeah.
03:38Okay.
03:39Aw.
03:39You better not be here to make a scene, Jane, because we've got some serious security now.
03:43This is James.
03:44He guarded Gaga.
03:46No.
03:46No scene, Billy.
03:47No.
03:48Uh, Jane and I talked it out, and she's using her Oscar camera to film me now, so we're good.
03:53Jane, I'm sorry about throwing you off the lot.
03:55I was protecting our business.
03:57Yeah.
03:57I'm sorry, too.
03:58I was protecting humanity.
04:00Yeah.
04:01Two good points, yeah.
04:02Jane, why don't you get in the front?
04:04Yeah.
04:07Mm-hmm.
04:09Okay.
04:09Uh, you have to get Polly G's face when he sees me, okay?
04:13The studio's gonna want to blame someone for the leak, and it's not me.
04:17Were you running a coffee tap?
04:19Patience has valid card.
04:21Polly said this was his haunt.
04:23Uh, I don't see him.
04:25It says he comes here a lot, so.
04:27Oh, look who's here.
04:29Valerie Cherish.
04:31Are you here to punch Polly G in the stomach again?
04:33Yeah, or did you come by to take away our livelihood in person?
04:37Oh, my God.
04:37They're all writers.
04:39Dava?
04:39Okay, look.
04:40Lotte for Dava?
04:41I get it, but taking this out on her is wrong.
04:45She is just an actress who was desperate for work, so she took a show, okay?
04:49She's desperate.
04:50I'm applying for a job at Costco right now.
04:52Okay, yeah, he's not here.
04:54Why don't we just go?
04:55Oh, I'm sorry.
04:56Oh, yeah.
04:57You've got a lot to be sorry for.
04:59You and your AI bullshit.
05:00Okay, you know what?
05:01That's enough, sir.
05:02It's enough.
05:03I'm talking to her.
05:04She's taken all of our writer money for herself, and I had to take my kids out of private school
05:10because I can't afford it.
05:11If you don't have money for school, then why are you spending $8 on a latte?
05:15Oh, my God.
05:17Fuck you.
05:18Sorry.
05:18Damn it.
05:19Oh, I meant to do this.
05:21Oh, my God.
05:22Oh, that's $16 that your kids are not going to get.
05:25All right, Billy, that's enough.
05:27No, let's just go before someone throws a scone.
05:30Oh, did you get your coffee?
05:32Good.
05:32We can go now.
05:33I have a boba for patients.
05:35Okay.
05:36All right, we're going to have to stop at my condo again so I can change.
05:40All right, I'm going to have him drop me off at home after that.
05:42I'm going to take a personal day after this.
05:43Oh, yeah.
05:44Val!
05:45Hey.
05:46Hey.
05:47What happened to you two?
05:49What happened?
05:49I'll tell you what happened.
05:51An angry writer just threw two grande ice frappelattes at us because you told everyone
05:57about AI in our show.
05:59No.
05:59No.
06:00I didn't tell anyone.
06:02In fact, I sent you a text.
06:03Did you not get it?
06:04She got a lot of texts yesterday, Pauly, most of them suggesting that she kill herself.
06:08Yeah.
06:08So maybe she didn't get yours.
06:09Right.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Billy.
06:12Yeah, whipped cream.
06:13I'll get it later.
06:13All right, well, you just take a napkin.
06:15Have a white one in the car.
06:16Oh, great.
06:17It's right here.
06:18Val, sorry this all happened.
06:20Really am.
06:21You don't deserve it.
06:22You don't deserve it.
06:22Yeah.
06:23I see.
06:23I got it.
06:24I did.
06:24I missed it.
06:25I missed it.
06:26I'm sorry I accused you.
06:27Nah.
06:28Yeah.
06:28No, I...
06:30I get why you'd think that.
06:32Why wouldn't you?
06:33All right.
06:34Yeah, yeah.
06:35Yeah.
06:35God.
06:35You know what?
06:36Come in.
06:38You deserve an apology.
06:39Come in.
06:41Nah, I'm good.
06:42Yeah.
06:43Please.
06:44Hey, just for a sec.
06:45Just to clear things up with the writers.
06:46You know what?
06:47I've...
06:48I've cleared things up with the writer I came to see.
06:52So.
06:54Okay.
06:56Hey, Val.
06:57Yeah?
07:00I got a job.
07:02Is it here?
07:03Yeah, I'm a barista.
07:04No.
07:06Not a stupid zombie rom-com for half my quote.
07:10But, uh, you know, it's writing.
07:12So.
07:15Yeah.
07:17Okay.
07:18Why are you thanking me?
07:20That day back in your set.
07:22You know?
07:23It just made me realize I like writing more than I, you know, like sitting in there bitching
07:26about not writing.
07:27So.
07:29I ate some shit.
07:30Yeah.
07:30And, you know, got a job on somebody else's show.
