01x04 - If You Want a Friend, Get a Dog

[bunniefuu]

♪ We're gonna take over ♪

♪ Whoa, let me shout ♪

♪ Let me shout ♪

♪ We're gonna take over, yeah ♪

I feel this is a more appropriate time
to talk to you about something.

It's not bad on you.

It's just to let you know what's going on
behind your back.

Oh... f*ck.

Um... Sara texted me, and she says,

"Noel said do not bring Peggy
to the open house at the new hotel.

I do not want any drama.

Noel and Peggy do not get along,
and I don't want to deal with it."

Really?

We gotta figure out
where this is coming from.

Is it Sara? Is there a problem with--
I-I don't know what's happening.

That's so f*cked up.

Something shady is going on.

I don't want him to hurt my listing
by telling you, you can't come.

Yeah.

But not even saying it to your face.
Saying it to Sara.

That's the facade he puts on.

[Peggy] Noel's one person in front of us,
another behind our backs.

That's fine on a social level,
but don't f*ck with my business.

For her to keep you from the property

when you're the one
that might have a viable buyer,

someone that's credible--

Listen, it's gonna affect her wallet

-and yours.
-And mine, please don't.

I'm not. I'm gonna go through you
going forward...

Go. I want you to know
what's going on behind the scenes.

'Cause it's personal to me now

because they're keeping brokers
from my listing.

-Don't you dare do that sh*t.
-That's f*cked up.

[upbeat song playing]

[Peggy] f*ck that sh*t.

♪ Waiting for something to happen ♪

♪ Don't let me get to the clappin' ♪

♪ I be the one
Who be movin' the music ♪

♪ I'm provin' this is more than rappin' ♪

[Peggy] I'm not sure why Noel
wants to keep me away,

but I don't give a sh*t.

I don't need
to be part of the boys' club.

be part of the girls' club.
I don't need to be part of any club.

I'm of my club,
and that's all that matters.

[upbeat song continues]

-Hi.
-Hi.

Oh, my gosh.

This is amazing!

-[Anna] Come in.
-You did a good job.

[Peggy] I would bring interior designers
to either help renovate or stage a home.

In this, Chloe and Anna
brought me on to this project

to work with their owner, Joey,
who's seeing the finished product today.

This Wainscott house is a masterpiece.

It's traditional architecture
meeting ultimate design.

Chloe and Anna fully renovated
this entire house

with the owner from top to bottom.

Five bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms,

over 5,500 square feet, a huge kitchen,

the living room space
has these amazing Nano doors

for indoor-outdoor living.

The backyard is an entertainer's dream.

A 20-person pergola, a gunite pool.

Everything you want
in classic Hamptons living.

I'm speechless. This looks so good.

The owner had so much fun working with
Chloe and Anna in designing this house

that it piqued her interest
in flipping houses.

So my goal is to get this listing,

and we could start flipping houses
as a female-girl-power team

and take over the Hamptons.

[Peggy] I like this little corner.
It's so peaceful and zen.

It calms you down.
I had an anxious morning.

-[Anna] Why?
-[Peggy] Just real estate.

Pointing fingers,
you're the one to blame.

-Oh, my God.
-Hi!

-Hi!
-[Joey] It looks so amazing!

Hi, beautiful. How are you?

-I can't wait to see it.
-I know. It's really cool.

You've been involved
in the process,

but there's things you haven't seen.

Start in the living room.

[Peggy] This is amazing!

[Joey] I love it, and I love
how the table came out.

Can you see that these two women
are not a man and a woman?

-Those look great.
-[Chloe] Yeah.

You did the beams differently.

-Yeah.
-[Peggy] What's beautiful

is that you combine the history
of the home,

like, the historic with modern comfort
and just sexiness.

[Anna] Yeah.

[Peggy] I'm excited to see the next room.

What is this? Can I sit on it?

Six hundred pounds of person
can sit on it.

Oh, my God, this is amazing.

When you lie here,
you can actually see the pool.

It makes it more like beach-y
and, like, fun.

[Joey] I love it.

All these open
for the indoor-outdoor living?

-That's great.
-Yeah.

Just so you know, Peggy,
these floors are heated underneath.

-Oh, nice.
-Yes.

[Anna]
That's a good selling point.

They can sit in front of the fireplace
and think about life.

[Chloe]
Thinking about life?

Ooh, I'm thinking about how
I'm going to sell this place.

-[laughter]
-I'm thinking of that.

So, you guys purchased this property
a few years ago.

[Joey] What we bought it for
and what we put into,

we're now the most expensive house
on the street.

Right. 'Cause you purchased it
around four-ish.

Right. And then we put I think, like, two.

I think if you put this just under eight,
that will put this property on the map.

It makes sense.

The most important part
of this entire process

is getting that price out,
and then let me handle the rest of it.

Okay, good. That works.

[Peggy] This is why
I'm here in the Hamptons.

I'm not here to focus
on the inter-office politics.

I'm honestly here to sell homes
and make money.

I could be your broker on the next and
figure out some way of working together.

Yeah, that's a given.

The dream team right here. Girl power.

♪ Me and the girls make the world ♪

[upbeat rock music playing]

[J.B.] Jimmy and I have been working
with two big Hamptons developers,

Max and Michelle Breskin.

-This is their summer home.
-[security system] Disarmed.

[J.B.] Whoa!

This is a lot of house.

You walk in,
you're in this wide open space.

Eight bedroom, eight-and-a-half bath,
10,000 square-foot house

that sits on just over an acre.

Big pool, hot tub, sunken tennis court,
a movie theater.

I mean, it's a one-stop shop.

The first listing we did for the Breskins
was the Captain's House.

We added just subtle layers throughout.

A lot of antique pieces
and different textures.

[J.B.] Anna and Chloe did a fantastic job
staging the home.

Very cool.

I really like it.

[J.B.] In order to help us sell this home,
we needed highlights.

So, Jimmy and I brought in
Anna and Chloe again

just to spice it up a bit.

We're showing Max and Michelle
the finished product.

I'm excited about
listing this property with Jimmy.

I'm gonna be a part of the commission
when this thing sells.

It's like what every rookie agent
wants to hear. I'm ecstatic.

Let's gauge reactions. If they have
questions, we can speak to something.

A lot of the items
definitely do help a little bit.

The Breskins have given me
their whole portfolio.

There's a lot of pressure

because it can impact future deals
and future properties.

Hopefully, they like it.

-There they are.
-Hi.

Hey.

[J.B.] A little bit different
than when you last left.

Yeah.

Very different.

-Let's go through and take it from there.
-Sounds good.

Michelle is the interior designer
for her homes,

and she's tough.

This needs to go...

-[J.B.] Okay.
-...now.

And move this table,
like, a little in that corner.

[Jimmy] Okay.

-Hustle.
-[Jimmy] We'll put in the guest room.

[J.B.] Got it.

And I think we need
to get rid of this lamp.

[J.B.] Let's head to the piano room.
Take a look.

[Michelle] Okay.

Frankly, I'd be embarrassed
to bring a buyer through,

the way it's furnished.

[Michelle]
We had it furnished 70 percent.

We just needed that extra layer

to make it really feel like
this perfect Hamptons house.

We let them run with it,
maybe too much.

Right. The furniture needs to go.

[Jimmy] So in here, they swapped out
the table and the chairs.

Anything that catches your eye?

It's a lot of florals and pastels.

The black leather
is not something I care for.

The table, you sort of lose it
in the scale of the house.

That was my idea.
I wanted a smaller table

so it's easier to flow.

[Max] That didn't really happen here.

Behind you, there's a leaf light.

It's a nice piece,

but it takes away from clean openings
that we tried to create.

Well, there's definitely some things
they were trying to add.

But it's not doing anything
to elevate the space.

And that vase over there
needs to be removed.

Let's continue.

I feel like this room was bright before,
and now it feels gloomy and dark.

[Max]
It could be the office furniture.

[Jimmy] This piece is pretty cool,
the mirror.

This is definitely a piece
that people would talk about.

I want people to talk about the house,
not necessarily one piece of art.

There are a lot of features in the home
that already make it memorable.

I don't feel like
it's doing anything for the space.

I understand.

We'll get this right
before buyers get here.

-Good.
-[Max] All right.

-Thanks.
-[Jimmy] Thank you.

First things first,
get the old furniture back in place,

and let Max and Michelle decompress.

Should we swap out these chairs?

I'm pretty sure I heard the words
"office furniture" in the dining room.

We should switch them out.

We need to get this fixed
'cause I can't lose their business.

[J.B.] If real estate doesn't work out,
we could be movers.

[Jimmy sighs]

♪ Go ♪

-[man 1] White wine?
-[man 2] Please.

-[Sara] Hi.
-Great listing, guys. Congrats.

Thanks, buddy.

[Michael] Today is open house for
the hotel that me and Sara are hosting.

Blu Mar. This $15 million property
has a hotel,

a restaurant with a five-star
Michelin chef, and a nightclub.

Beautiful outdoor seating with patio

to see all the people walking by
on Main Street,

one of the hottest spots in the Hamptons.

[Noel] Yo!

-How are you?
-[Peggy] Hey.

[Noel] Good.

[Peggy]
I don't care if Noel wants me here.

I'm not leaving.

-You need more wine.
-[Chloe] I do.

-I'm not driving.
-[Michael] There you go.

I'm good to go.

We have a couple buyers coming by,
so I don't think I should be drinking.

No, it's probably best.

[laughs]

[Peggy] Whatever Noel and Sara
have against me,

it's not gonna affect my business.

-Sara talked sh*t about me.
-Why?

-Why?
-Her and Noel.

-Really?
-What?

After all the sh*t we've been through.

-I'm pissed.
-[Chloe] I can see it.

I'm wondering why she would
have something against you.

I just think there's probably
jealousy and animosity.

Remember when I was saying,
"She's a nice girl"?

f*ck that sh*t.

I'm more upset about Noel than anything.

-I get it.
-Is Noel friends with her?

I have no idea.

How do you know he's talking sh*t then?

I have written proof.

This is sturdy.

-[Michael] I think he'd hang with me.
-Comfortable.

You break it, you buy it.

-All right!
-[J.B.] I really expected it to go

-like this way when you got on.
-Thanks, bro.

[indistinct conversations]

-[Peggy] Noel?
-[Noel] Yeah?

[Peggy] I was gonna take you aside.
There's shittiness going on.

What did you hear?

Whatever it is,
I can clear it up really quickly.

I didn't hear it.
I saw it in black and white.

-What?
-Sara messaged Fulfree about coming here.

Apparently, Sara didn't want me to be here
'cause there's drama between us.

-No, no.
-Let me finish for a second.

-Yeah.
-She continued on, she proceeded with,

"There's too much drama
between Peggy and Noel.

Noel doesn't want Peggy there."

-No.
-So my thing is this...

-what are you hiding?
-I'm telling you.

That's not true.

So what is Sara saying?
I'm gonna pull Sara aside.

Whatever issue,
I don't think it has to do with me.

-I was offended--
-Yeah.

I did tell her I didn't wanna
inject between the two of you.

So there is issue?

Look, I don't really wanna dive too much
into my and her personal conversations.

You don't need to.
I care about what was said about me.

Sara must know that there's some type
of drama between you and I. By who?

-I think Sara...
-I didn't tell her.

...sort of talks to everybody, right?

So, whatever she heard,
she heard through everybody else,

'cause I'm a very private person.

So, I wouldn't share... If you and I
have a problem and we hugged it out,

that was it.
We moved on from there.

Me and you have no problems.

I don't know about the two of you.
Don't know how she feels.

She's a little bit maybe threatened?

I don't want to say that,
put words in her mouth,

talk about what
we talked about privately.

So my thing is this:

I want a team around me
that has my back.

I don't want people
talking sh*t about me.

If you have a problem,
I'd rather you just come to me.

Sure. Sure.

I've been getting nowhere with Noel.

I just want to get to the truth
and clear up all this mess.

Sara? Mind if we just talk real quick?

-Yeah.
-Are you guys leaving?

-[Chloe] I'm gonna go ride bikes with J.B.
-Yeah.

[Chloe] Yeah.

-[Noel] And I'm going to watch.
-[chuckles] All right.

So...

-What's up? How's everything?
-Not good.

It's recently been brought to my attention

that you've been talking
negatively about me.

And to be honest with you,
it actually f*cking hurt.

A: it was really surprising.

It really hurt me
'cause I considered you a friend.

I'm confused on this conversation,
where it's prompted from.

So, have you ever talked negative
about me?

-I have not.
-You never have?

I don't know you that well.

We could bring Fulfree and discuss,
'cause I asked him if I could.

I've never done anything.

Okay. I honestly thought
you were a sweet person...

-I have buyers here.
-Let me finish. No one's around.

It's fine. Let me finish.
I thought you were a sweet person.

As of today, I have zero...
I do not wanna be associated with you,

and I would appreciate it if my name
never comes out of your mouth.

-If you'd like, we--
-I'd love to work with you.

You're yelling, and you're the one that
has buyers here. Just to let you know.

-I'd love to work with you.
-I don't wanna.

-I've never had issues.
-Right. So, you are--

So, Noel, right now, just told me
that you talked about me...

-negatively.
-I never talked about you.

Okay, so would you like
to bring Fulfree in, and Noel?

-Sure, you can bring them in.
-Okay.

I am. Just give me a second.

You can sit. We'll bring them.

-I feel like...
-Fulf.

-I feel he would watch soccer.
-[Peggy] I need you.

Apparently, she never said
a thing about me not coming.

Oh, funny.

-[Noel] k*lling it.
-[Sara] What?

-I don't know what's going on there.
-I don't know what's going on.

Who is that?

They're talking sh*t about me.

She's an agent. Co-worker.
We all work together.

She was the one yelling.

I don't know the situation. I don't care.

-This is gonna make me look bad.
-No.

I just don't care.
I'm pointing at her clients.

-I don't want her talking about me again.
-That's fair.

Are we gonna go for a tour?
Or is she gonna leave?

-We're gonna get you that tour, ASAP.
-Michael.

-[Michael] What the f*ck?
-We should squash this.

We should,
so just explain where it came from

-and just say you're sorry.
-Where did that come from?

-Why didn't you want her?
-I don't care what your endgame is,

or that you don't want me in real estate
or whatever the f*ck it is,

I'm not going anywhere.

You are officially the fakest person
I've ever met.

Like, I am so hurt by you, after I heard--

-I wanna apologize. Please let me.
-Let me finish.

Your apologies, right now, I cannot hear
'cause I am so f*cking livid with you.

You hurt me so beyond belief.

This hurts me because I have no idea.

Hey, Peggy.

-It was all about the property.
-Peggy, Sara, let's do this.

-We've got clients standing nearby...
-That's fine. It's done.

[Noel] Now we should apologize to them.

-What's going on?
-Can we have a tour?

-[Sara] I wanna do a tour.
-Can we do the tour?

[Michael]
Let's not talk about this in front of Ira.

-[Noel] Let's. Where are we going?
-Come.

Every once in a while,

a woman comes along
who changes everything,

who helps me to see my flaws,
and my failures, and my blind spots.

Peggy is not that woman.

Let's be real. I'm sick of this bullshit.

Couldn't care less
what the issue is with you.

I get a text saying that Peggy--

I told Sara,
"You don't want Peggy, deal with Michael.

-Leave me out of it."
-Okay. Sara?

-[Sara] Pardon?
-Come here.

Transparency.

So, what was the reason
for the text saying...

for Peggy not to come?

Were there other things in that message?

Reasons why you didn't want me there?

-[Sara] Zero.
-Was "drama" involved?

-No, there's no drama.
-[Peggy] Hmm.

Interesting. So, what the f*ck
is the truth?

-I'm a bystander.
-[Peggy] No, you're not.

No, you're not. You always do that, dude.

Who said they don't want Peggy there?

Who said it?

Uh... don't look at me.

[J.B.] I am beyond embarrassed
to be a part of the situation.

The way they're acting is the most
unprofessional thing I've ever seen.

It's a spectacle. It's crazy.

Can we squash it right now,
or do we need to table it?

But we need to get back to what we do,
which is entertaining clients,

bringing them through the properties.
Serious.

Like, it's gone out of control today.

-Ridiculous.
-100 percent.

[Michael] Let's move on.

-What's going on?
-I have no idea.

Why can't you just be honest
about what happened?

If it was Noel
that had a problem with Peggy,

if that's the case,
then you gotta expose him.

It's not fair for you to look bad.

When Peggy...
I guess, a couple of weeks ago,

Peggy was showing a buyer
for one of Noel's listings.

-Okay.
-Something came up and...

-This is good. Let her hear.
-Can I listen?

This is the truth. So...

So, I guess something happened
a few weeks ago.

You were showing
the Amagansett oceanfront,

and I don't know what was said
because I, obviously, wasn't there,

but I think Noel just felt there was
a little bit of drama between you guys.

-J.B.
-Did you f*ck this sh*t up?

-Did you do this?
-I don't know how--

Did you do this?

Noel just wanted
to kinda do his business separately

to avoid what he felt was drama.

Now, I don't know
if there was drama or not...

[Michael]
He created more doing that.

-That's what I said to you.
-[Sara] My apologies.

"I wonder if it's the drama with Marine."

[J.B.] This is crazy.

She's got way too much dip on her chip.

-The truth always wins.
-[Michael] Yeah.

You're speaking your truth.
If this is the truth,

I apologize for flipping out on you.

Oh, my God.

Lord, please take this cup from me,
let it pass.

[tense music playing]

-[J.B.] What's up?
-[Noel] Trying to stay focused on money.

-Jimmy just closed on, um...
-[Noel] Nichols?

-Narrow.
-Narrow.

-[J.B.] 3 weeks on market.
-[Noel] Really?

When I first met Jimmy,
I was the one like, "This kid's arrogant."

After a couple months, I get it.
He brings in deals.

-He's always scheming somehow.
-Scheming somehow.

That's partly why I'm on his team.
[laughs]

-I see what you did.
-I was thinking too.

You did a very good thing.

Um, the other thing. Are you--
Everything okay with Sara and...

Peggy? That was insane the other day.

That was a bad look for everybody.
I was ashamed to even be there.

I'll probably limit my exposure
to things like that in the future.

For sure.

I don't know how I got caught up in that.

Like, they're just a little bit,
not concern, they're just like...

trying to figure it out, man.

I had a mentor when I was young
who gave me four pieces of advice,

and this guy was running
a $800 million company.

Don't talk about your sex life,

about how much you have in the bank,

don't talk about, like
your deal you're working on,

and never share doubts.

That was his four pieces of advice
that he gave me.

I can understand that. I get it.

We had this class in high school
called Human Relations class,

and there is this dreaded day
in this class

where all the kids sit in a circle,
and they talk about...

They share something with the class
nobody else knows.

Some of these kids shared

some really deep and impactful things
in their life.

I fretted this day. You want to know why?

I didn't-- I didn't have anything
that I felt worth sharing

that was gonna be as dramatic
as the next person.

I was that fortunate in that regard, um,
in just my upbringing.

My phone is open for people to talk

business and deals and transactions.

I won't even let that sucker ring.
Money's on the other line.

You're gonna hear "hello."

But if it's about other stuff,
who doesn't like who, and text messages,

and all this other crazy stuff,
you can kinda leave me out of that stuff.

[J.B.] Oh, bonjour!

-[Noel] There you go. Oui.
-[J.B.] What's up?

What's up?
You guys speaking French?

[J.B.] I told you I'm going to Montreal.

[Michael] Oh, yeah, of course.

-[Michael] Hey, Peggy.
-Hey, guys.

-What up?
-How are you?

-[J.B.] How're you?
-[Peggy] Good.

-I like the dress.
-Thank you.

Noel? Like, I have a question for you.

-Oh, yeah, what's up?
-Like...

I straight-up asked you at the hotel.
Like, do you have a problem with me?

Uh-huh.

Don't be dismissive already.

I'm listening because this is
going to go right back to where it was,

which was silly la-la land, but go ahead.

It was not.
What was silly la-la land? The hotel?

-The entire thing. That was kind of...
-So why would you tell someone

you don't want me present at a showing?

-Flat out.
-Um...

Let me say this.

I was very, very disappointed
in that entire scenario.

I think you went about it the wrong way.

I told you in private that,

"She's a bit maybe insecure,
maybe you threaten her."

It has nothing to do with Sara.

Just be straight up.
You've never been real with us.

I've told you a thousand and one times
I have no issues with you.

All of a sudden, now I do

because of how you deal with other people
when you think that there's an issue.

My viewpoint of Peggy at this point is

maybe she's someone who sort of thrives
on the drama,

maybe it kind of gives her the energy.
Whereas I'm the complete opposite.

This is very draining
and unnecessary for me.

So, I'm hoping to get past it
once and for all.

If we're gonna be working this close,
it's just transparency.

If we had a conversation,
everything was good,

but there's underlying things going on

where you'd just don't want to tour
with Peggy at the same time...

I've said, like, seven times now
that's not the case.

That was made up.

I just didn't wanna, you know, uh,
add fuel to the fire in that moment.

I wasn't gonna help you guys
team up on Sara.

What, "team up on Sara"?

I have no problem with Sara. Never have.

[Peggy] Don't dare say that.

-It doesn't make sense.
-[Noel] You seemed frustrated with Sara.

You allowed this to occur at your own
listing that you're representing.

-How?
-You didn't stop it.

-I told--
-You didn't stop it.

How do you want me to stop it?

"This is my listing.
This is unprofessional--"

Don't ever question how I do business.

-Why not?
-No. Don't question how I do business.

-I know how.
-You do? Good.

I absolutely do. Okay?
Put your money where your mouth is.

[Noel] One of my hesitations
to working in an office

in the first place is getting caught up

in sort of the interpersonal drama,
the personalities...

Here I am in the midst of one.
So, I really want to put this to bed,

get everything back
to where it needs to be.

You think I can control what time
that conversation was gonna happen?

You think I wanted it to happen
during the open house?

Maybe happen a little bit later
or a different day?

[J.B.] All I know is, Mike, like,

from my standpoint,
that sh*t cannot happen.

Like, what happened there
was embarrassing.

This is f*cking crazy.

We have to figure out a way
to stick together.

And even if we are different,

even if, you know, Peggy's talking sh*t
behind your back

or vice versa, or whatever it is,
we need to figure out a way to squash it.

We should all learn that we can't control

what people say about us
behind our back,

and if people talk about us
behind our back, let them talk about it.

[Michael] This isn't people.
This is internally our team.

We don't need this crap.
Unfortunately, you're causing a lot of it.

If your actions were different,
we wouldn't be having this conversation.

The only thing I could've done--

Sounds like what you wanted me to do
was to help you guys call out a co-worker.

She's been at this company
longer than I... I just got here.

She was calling you out as well.
She called you out.

[Noel]
That's why we're not friends anymore.

-You defend yourself?
-I don't like to talk to people who--

-At least have the truth out?
-No, because--

Because you don't know the truth,
'cause you're so phony.

Peggy, that's a great line. Um...

You're putting on
an amazing act right now.

You just don't like it when people
don't want to feed in to your drama.

[Peggy]
You're just switching this around

so you can look like a good guy,
and you're the soul of this.

That's how you feel about me.

-That's how everyone feels about you.
-Okay.

That's how everyone feels.
I'm okay with that.

I come from
"want a friend, buy a dog."

Michael. Fulf. Come here.

Being part of a team
teaches you discipline.

That's really where you learn, um,
how to be, you know, a man,

and how to really, like, step up
and be successful in life.

[Michael]
Are you kidding me?
