[Papers rustling]

Is she gonna say something?

[Files rustling]

Why the hell did you think this plan was gonna work?

[Mouth full] It was a good plan.

Ron.

Hey, Nate.

Jay. Hey. Good to see you.

How are you, Jay?

Gene: You are gonna love this.

Yeah, sure we are.

This place is electric. Do you feel it?

All I feel is the hollow corporate bullshit.

Nate, this Gupta guy is a damn visionary.

Trust me, Gene, he's not, okay?

And this whole "Guru of Business" thing he's pulling?

It's an insult to his entire culture.

Man: [Amplified voice] Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm P.F.R. welcome to our new C.E.O., Mr. Gupta!

[Cheers and applause]

Thank you! Thank you.

Please. Please!

I'm only kidding. Keep going. I love it.

[Laughter]

[Cheers and applause continue]

Oh, Jesus.

Okay, okay, be seated.

You know, human beings are in a constant search for a defining moment.

Hopefully, for P.F.R. and every single one of you, I can provide that moment right now.

Holy sh*t. Is this guy for real?

Shh.

My defining memory occurred 20 years ago, when I led my dearest friends...

[Click]

On an expedition of K2...

[Scoffs] Jeez.

Including noted martial artist Chuck Norris.

After six glorious hours atop the world's most.

[Choir harmonizing]

Dangerous mountain...

We moved to our descent.

But it was not so decent.

[Laughter]

Plagued by treacherous weather, my most trusted Sherpa, Lobsong, got his leg stuck in the black pyramid.

[Audience member gasps]

Now, of course, I wanted to rescue him, but Chuck Norris begged me not to.

"Don't go, Gupta!" He said.

"It is su1c1de!"

He thought I was wrong, but I ignored the Texas Ranger named Walker because I knew I was right.

And as the snow and ice pounded against my face, I hacked off Lobsong's leg using only my crampon.

What?

And it was in that single moment when I discovered my mantra.

"What's right is right."

Choir: ♪ What's right is right! ♪

Gupta: What's right is right!

Choir: ♪ What's right is right! ♪

What's right is right!

Choir: ♪ What's right is right! ♪

Well, that doesn't mean anything.

Shh!

But don't take my word for it.

Take Lobsong's!

[Voice breaks] What?

Gupta: Came down...

[Cheers and applause]

Screaming for help.

[applause]

He would be dead.

[Cheering loudly]

You were so right, Gene.

This guy is a dipshit.

Right is right!

Yeah!

I saved him!

You did!

Thank you. What's right is right.

What's right is right! Right?! Right?!

[Exhales deeply] I tell you, you find Gupta, and it is nothing but beach all day.

Ohh, I can't wait.

I'm gonna order a glass of wine and lay there and relax.

It's gonna be great.

I love you so much.

Women: Hey, Nate.

Seriously? Seriously?

What? I...

You were just looking at the teenagers.

No, she's well into her 20s.

I work with her. She's a P.F.R. rep.

Oh, that's what you guys do here.

You get wasted and you look at teenagers.

No, they are vital to the company's success.

Hey, girls, how are you?

Again, stop looking at them! God!

What? They're literally everywhere.

Where would you like me to look?

I don't know, maybe just look at me.

Is that super hard for you?

Oh. Are you P.M.S.-ing?

Oh, my god. It is so offensive when you ask me that!

I'm sorry. Are you?

No! I'm M.S.-ing.

Baby, you know you are the only woman I will ever, ever look at. Okay?

Okay.

Nate? Nate Parker!

Aah! [Laughs]

Hey! Ooh.

What is up?!

Nothing.

Melissa. We met in Denver.

Last year's convention.

Right!

Yeah!

Right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. How are you?

Oh, my god, we got so high that night.

Robin: Oh.

Do you remember? [Laughs]

Uh... I wanted to see what legal weed tasted like.

Tastes just like illegal weed, I think.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Let me tell you, this guy pulls the trigger.

We all wanted to go to bed, and this assh*le...

[Laughs] He was like, "not tonight!"

"We're totally pulling the trigger!" [Laughs]

You taught me so much that night, dude.

Oh.

Yeah.

Uh, anyway, it was great to see you...

Yeah!

Melissa. Yeah.

No, you don't go anywhere, 'cause I gotta hear more about this pulling of the trigger.

It's nothing. It's a stupid expression.

Wait. Um, what?

I live by that sh*t now, Nate.

You do?

Like... it's, like, my mantra.

Okay, what does it mean exactly?

Nothing.

Well, it means when the good angel is on my shoulder, and it's, like, time to stop...

Yeah.

That's when I...

Ow.

[Laughs] Pull the trigger!

Oh! [Laughs] You pulled the trigger!

That's so good to know!

Yeah!

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, uh, uh... Gupta.

Gupta... have you seen him at all?

'Cause that's why we're here.

Oh! No. Total bummer. Didn't you hear?

No.

He's not coming to the convention. He bailed.

What?

Yeah.

Uh... that's impossible.

No, he's totally M.I.A.

I'm sorry, dude. You really loved him, didn't you?

That's all right. This weekend...

We're gonna pull the trigger, right? Gupta or no Gupta!

[Snaps fingers]

No, we're not doing that. Bye-bye.

[Footsteps depart, indistinct conversations]

It's not what you think it is.

I... what is this?

It's not this, it's this.

So, by the way, what was your plan, anyway?

I want as going to talk to him. He's a reasonable man.

Sit him down and just go...

That's it? No, no plan "B"?

You... you can't have a plan "B" or else you give up on plan "A" when it... sucks.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, mom, you didn't have a plan "B" when you had us.

Well, that's because it wasn't on the market yet, sweetie.

What?!

She doesn't know what that means.

She can look it up!

Yeah, I'm looking it up.

No, you're not looking it up. Don't look it up.

Jared and Delilah: I'm looking it up.

Please don't look it up.

Don't look it up.

[Sighs] What are we even doing here?

You're miserable at that job.

Just... let's just find you a new job.

Oh!

Yeah.

Oh, why didn't I think of that?

Yeah.

I mean, I'm only 40, with no appreciable skills and an overinflated salary.

I'll say, "Hey, workforce, give me a new job."

Relax. We would be fine.

Oh, no, we would not.

Yeah, we would.

Everything changes.

These expensive highlights? Goodbye.

Go in the sun. Lemon juice.

Velodrome membership.

No.

That's gone.

No, no. The track is where I keep my ass.

I know, and it's a great ass.

You love my ass.

It's just gonna...

Ohh. I could work.

You do you wanna work?

No.

Right. You see?

No, I I... I like our life.

I love our life, and I hate the idea of starting over.

I know. That sounds exhausting.

Okay, well, then let's just get your job back. Let's do it.

How? He's not here.

He's at this racetrack.

What?

What?

Yeah, 30 minutes ago, Gupta said he was, "getting ready to spend the entire afternoon riding these beauties."

That's not far from here. Maybe we should go.

Yes, we should go, dummy. That's plan "B." Let's go.

Yeah, we're not going.

Yeah, you are because we're going, so let's all go.

We're tired of driving.

Well, you can't stay here alone.

In the last week, we've been arrested, chased by truckers, had g*ns pointed at our faces, watched you marry a pedophile...

That's true. I did that.

Yeah, I think we can handle an afternoon by ourselves at this resort.

Mm-hmm.

Hi. Hi, I'm sorry. I just... I need to talk to Mr. Gupta.

Sorry.

I've been traveling.

I am unable to answer your call ...

Straight to voice-mail?

Yeah. Her battery's probably dead.

Or she's probably having an affair with that billionaire boss of yours.

She's not.

I'm on my fifth marriage.

Honey, straight to voice-mail is the only clue I ever gave.

Why would you get married five times?

Because my husbands were sh*t. It's called the upgrade game.

Is it?

Nate!

Babe!

Wow! Is that your wife?

Yeah.

When you make love to her, it must look like a walrus suffocating a goddess.

Mm.

She's like a perfect 10.

How in the hell did you get with her?

What are you talking about? I'm a 7.

[Scoffs] 4 at best.

No, my personality brings me up to at least a 6.

Oh, are you saying your personality brings you up?

Yes. Yes, it does. Is Gupta there?

Yeah, and he's way better-looking than I thought.

[Chuckles] She's upgrading, Nate.

Who is this? Who are you? Hi.

Hi. I'm Nate's friend Brad.

She's not my friend. What... Your name's Brad?

[Scoffs] Short for Bradget.

[Whispers] Right.

Great. Hey, you have to keep him there until I can figure out a way to get in.

How... how am I supposed to do that?

I don't know. Just do something. Flirt with him.

Oh, yes. You know what?

He's holding court with a bunch of models...

Oh.

So I'll just, you know...

Okay, well, think of something else then.

What? Whoa. Wait. I'm a really good flirter.

It's models.

You're probably gonna wanna say "I'm sorry" for that one.

Yeah, you might wanna listen to your friend Brad here.

Please, we need a plan.

I have a plan.

What?

I got a plan.

What?

I'm pulling the trigger.

What does that mean?!

Sounds like she's gonna get split. [Chuckles]

Ew.

Yeah. And Chazz, like, "likes" all of my posts.
