- Thank you.

This here is a--
a family fuck-fuck, so...

Ignore me.

LOGAN: Okay,
let's get this figured out

and then I can let you
get back to your fun.

Well, it might've been
a wasted trip.

Wanna give us a quick blast
of "New York, New York"
and fuck off?

Well, I-- I wanted
to say something.

Yeah? Reasons we should
vote through the sale?

It's-- No surprises there.

Unless you do it to the tune
of "The Girl From Ipanema."

Well, um, it's not that.
I mean, um, uh, aside from this,

um, I guess I...

I guess I just--

I-- I wanted you there a bit
at my party.

Holy shit.

- Did Dad just say a feeling?
- (SHIV CHUCKLES)

Well, you know, I just--

I thought maybe
it would be nice.

Oh, fuck.
Now-- now, it's all coming out.

Oh, my God,
Mr. Melodrama over here.

It's like a fucking telenovela.

Come on, guys,
he's trying something.

Look, you knew
I wanted Pierce

from way back.

And when I lost out...

that was not a good feeling.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah, no shit.

We practically had to walk back
from Albany.

Can we just-- I'm sorry.
Can we cut the shit?

It's obvious why you're here.

Your father wanted to address
the personal stuff

and not just launch
into the business.

Well, see,
this isn't personal, Dad.

Uh, this is a business decision.
This is about the money.

Look, you're smart to ask
about the money, you are.

But Matsson won't go there.

You haven't been around this,
but I've got done a good deal,

and you'll get enough
to do whatever you want.

I do ATN, you do Pierce.

It'll be a fresh start
for all of us.

It'll make things better,
and it starts there.

All you have to do is vote yes
and support the deal.

Do you know what he's offering?

You can separate the personal
and the business, you can...

- ROMAN: Hmm.
- ...reset your dynamic

- as a family.
- SHIV: Oh, super.

We gonna be just how we,
like, we used to be

and-- and-- and go on
summer vacay together

and drive down Route One
in an RV singing show tunes?

It may be
more complicated than that.

SHIV: Yeah, I mean, I guess

you're still
in the honeymoon period,

so... (CHUCKLES)
...getting your own show on TV.

Oh, are you not gonna be
on TV now? No?

SHIV: I'm sorry, is that not--

- ROMAN: Mm.
- Has he fucked you on that?

That'll happen, the fucking.

But congrats on losing
your betrayal cherry.

Enough.

I thought you'd be interested
in an apology,

- but that-- that's enough.
- SHIV: Wait, I'm sorry.

An apology?
We-- we missed that.

Look, I don't do apologies...

but if it means
so much to you...

then sorry.

There's nothing you could say
to me now

that I would ever believe.

This deal push could be worth
100 mil to us, Dad.

How many sorrys
do we get for that?

KERRY: Okay, to be clear--

What are you
actually sorry for, Dad?

- SHIV: Hmm.
- Well, I'm sorry

for the helicopter
for a start.

Oh! You guys, he's sorry
about the helicopter from today.

Well, that's the big one,
I guess.

- Are we actually
doing this, Dad?
- KENDALL: Okay.

'Cause I think, you know...

Seriously, what fucked
all this was when...

- with Mom and Italy...
- Yeah, okay.

I've had
certain thoughts about that.

Look,
with the best of intentions,

I, uh, I got the structure
of the holding company,

the ownership structure
of the, um, family trust.

There is a lack of clarity
and maybe,

maybe you got
certain impressions--

Amazing. You sure
you're not having that seizure?

I mean, he is trying, right?
And what you said

you were interested in
was an apology.

Okay, then. Anything else?

KENDALL: Come on, Dad.
What are you sorry for?

Sorry for fucking
ignoring Connor

- his whole life?
- Bit strong.

Hitting Rome when he was a kid?

Oh, no. I mean,
everyone hit me.

I'm fucking annoying.

For having Connor's mother
locked up?

Can we not do
a whole show trial here?

SHIV: What about advising Tom
on my divorce?

Yeah? I mean, that one...
That took effort.

That was above and beyond.

Tom asked me for advice.
I recommended someone

he could speak to.
You weren't around.

If you'd been around,
I would've offered you

the same advice.

But I can't help you
if you won't see me.

Look, the bottom line is
if we ask for more money,

- Matsson walks. I know that.
- No! You don't know that!

You don't know him!

You don't fucking
know everything!

Just 'cause you say it
doesn't make it true. (CHUCKLES)

Everyone just fucking agrees
with you and believes you,

so it becomes true
and then you can turn around

and say like, "Oh, you see?
See? I was right."

But that is not how it is.
You're a human fucking gaslight!

(SHIV SIGHS)

Fine.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Look, I-- I just want
to get us all together.

What you kids don't realize,
this is a good deal.

The world likes it.
It makes sense.

But deals have a habit
of disappearing

because pricks like Matsson
get pissed off or snap. This...

This is fucking real.

Okay, well, I think I can speak
for everyone, can I?

When I say,
"Go ask him for more money."

- But why?
- Just good business sense.

Gotta make our own pile.

- Right, Dad?
- Oh, come on!

Yeah, I mean,
it's what my gut is telling me,

and so I gotta listen to my gut.
It's-- it's all I got to go on.

You're not serious figures.
