[Sean] You realize
that's your show.

The father is a con man.

Shifty.
Conniving.

- The son is a cop.
- I kind of like that.

- I could see me playing a cop.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.

- You're the father.
- No fucking way.

I'm not playing that asshole.

It's the better part.

Yeah.
I'm the father.

It's Merc
who's the villain here.

Don't be mad at me.
Be mad at him.

I think there's enough mad
for both of you.

- QVT...
- Oh, Jesus.

wants you to front a line
of Matt LeBlanc vests.

- What do I have to do?
- Nothing.

You stand there in your vest.

You take a few calls.

You watch the tote board go up.

It's like a telethon,
only you're the disease.

How soon would this happen?

As soon as the little children

finish sewing the buttons on.

It's not really kids
making them, right?

No!

Hey, what are you doing here?

Uh, the pitch?

- We're supposed to go over--
- Yes, yes.

Yes.
[laughs]

- How was the show?
- Ugh.

We had to stop tape.

You know the black girl
on the end?

She got a fungal infection.

Had to drop out.

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.

They think she caught it
from the bats.

There were bats?

Oh, yeah.
I'm telling you.

This shit ain't
Wheel of Fortune.

Uh, so, whenever you're ready,
we could, um...

Oh, yeah, yeah.
I am ready. Go.

Okay. Well...

We're gonna start
by talking about how

right now,
in the television landscape,

there's really nothing
with a great, complicated

father-son relationship.

Hey, my vests are here!

Parakeets have
a longer attention span.

These are the ones
I'm selling on QVT this weekend.

Is this the first time
you're seeing these?

- Yep.
- What if you don't like them?

Well, I'm allowed to kill

all the ones
I really, really hate.

And what about the ones
you only sort of hate?

They get to become
genuine Matt LeBlanc vests.

- This isn't bad.
- Oh.

It has a remarkably
abrasive quality.

Can this technically
be called a fabric?

Who cares?
It just has to look good on TV.

- Much like you.
- Ah, ha-ha.

The patterns are
certainly lively.

I like a garment
that can cause a seizure.

Hey, these guys
know what sells.

Are they giving off
a sort of...

[sniffing]
...toxic--

Well, it's probably
just the bags.

Could be the vests.

Yep.
Could be.

Right.
So, back to the pitch?

Ah. You know what?
I'll hear it at the pitch.

Want to grab dinner?

- I'll go change.
- [Beverly] Fine.

We'll wait for you
out in the hall.

Anything to get away
from that smell.

It's like a fashion statement
and a gas leak.

[chuckles]

♪♪♪

And then he walks
into the empty garage,

and there's just a note,
and it says,

"Thanks. Dad."

And we see the frustration
on William's face.

And then we cut to Dick

driving down the coast...

- in the Lamborghini.
- Ahh.

And that's the end of the pilot.

- Great.
- So great.

Mmm.

And there's definitely
a procedural element each week.

You've got crimes and cases
and standalone stories.

But at its heart
is this complicated,

damaged,
wonderfully fucked up

father-son relationship.

[Sean] Even though
William absolutely knows

that his father is a devious,
manipulative shit...

- Thank you very much.
- [all laughing]

...he's so charming and clever

that he always
draws him back in.

And that's basically the show.

[applause]

[Helen] I think it's
really interesting.

- Very.
- Mmm.

There's a lot more comedy
than I was expecting.

It's really more of a dramedy.

Oh, well,
it-it doesn't have to be.

Oh, no, that's
actually good for us.

Oh, good.

God knows if anyone
can write dramedy.

[laughing] They're funny,
but not always.

[Roger] We think it's
a great project for Matt.

- Really unexpected.
- [Helen] I totally agree.

- [Helen] I also really like--
- You're leaking.

- What?
- You're leaking.

[Helen] ...explore that
even more, and maybe bring in--

Oh.

Excuse me.
I have to go pump.

Every time she says that,

I think I'll never get
an erection again.

[scattered chuckling]

Okay.

- [Helen] I think we're good.
- [Sean] Yeah.

I say we move
forward with this.

- [Sean] Oh, great!
- [Andy] Oh!

- [Eileen] Wow.
- [Helen] Thank you so much.

- [all] Yess!
- [Matt] Great.

[Helen] Actually, Beverly...

if you could hang
for a minute.

I'd love to have
a quick chat.

Oh.
Absolutely.

[sighs]

Feels like I've been called

into the headmistress' office.

I need you to convey
a message for me.

All right.

Tell your friend
she's making a big mistake.

I assume you're talking
about Carol,

as she is the queen
of big mistakes.

Would you care
to be more specific?

She filed
a sexual harassment suit

against the network.

Really?

Apparently, I "harassed" her.

I think you can drop
the "air quotes."

I was there.
[scoffs]

You know--
no, never mind.

What?

No.

Sean would kill me.

Then definitely say it.

You totally brought this
on yourself.

Excuse me?

You took this
wonderful relationship,

and you absolutely wrecked it.

She really cared for you.

You were the first boss
that actually made her happy.

Uh, I think if anyone got in
the middle of our relationship--

Oh, please.
[scoffs]

I know you'd like
to believe that,

but I have never,
ever been interested

in Carol or women.

Oh, don't give me the eyebrow.

You are basing this
entirely on a haircut,

which is...

it's so clichéd
and stereotypical.

- It's--Carol loved you.
- She said that?

Not in those words, but I know
it's true, and you...

got paranoid and crazy,

and you broke her heart.

Wow.

By the way,

it wasn't just the haircut.

Meaning?

I got a vibe.

- A vibe?
- Yeah, I felt it.

[scoffs]
Sorry, no vibe.

Look, I get it.
I was married.

It's a big leap.

Nope. No leap.

- No vibe, no leap.
- Fine. Whatever.

But for what it's worth...

I think the haircut
is pretty hot.

- Yeah, right.
- I'm telling you.

- It's functional.
- Bullshit. It's strong.

I like the way
it frames your face.

Well, that's-that's very kind.

I'm not kind.
I think it's sexy.

[stammers and snorts]

Right. Very good.
[stammers]

Nice...
[clears throat]

chat.

[exhales]

♪♪♪

[phone ringing]

Hello.

How fun was that?

Obviously, we have
different definitions

of the word "fun."

[chuckles]

I was thinking we should
send something nice

to Matt from the three of us.

Does he drink champagne?

I'd say you're safe
with any liquid

that doesn't come from a tap.

And why are we
sending this now?

Just congratulations.

You know, his company's
first time at bat,

and they sold something.

His company?

His production company.

Matt has a production company?

Shooting LeBlancs.

Isn't that hysterical?

Again, we have different
definitions of the word--

So when you say

his production company
sold this--

Right.
His company's producing it.

He's an executive producer.
So is Roger.

Wait, his agent
is an executive producer

on our show?

He's his manager now.

- He switched.
- He switched?

So he could be an executive
producer on your show.

Why do you think he was
at the pitch this morning?

I don't know.

Why are any of you anywhere?

[chuckles]

Also his partner Evan Shimkin.

- Whose partner?
- Roger's.

Is an executive producer
on our show?

Have you not met Evan?

No, we've only seen you
three times.

[laughs]
Roger and Evan are partners.

They're Riskin Shimkin.

[Beverly] And what exactly

will "Riskin Shimkin"
be doing on our show?

Nothing.
Don't worry.

You'll never see them.

And they get paid for this?

Well, they have to get paid.

- So they do nothing...
- Uh-huh.

- and still get the title...
- Yes.

- and the money?
- And points.

- Points?
- Right.

[Beverly] And these points
come from?

You.

Why can't they come
from Matt's points?

Well, they do,
but Matt's points come

from your points.

So do we have any points left?

Absolutely.

Just not as many.

Unbelievable.

Anything else we should know
but don't know?

I don't think so.

Oh, FYI, Matt wants
a shared "created by" credit.

F-U, FYI!

I don't appreciate
being spelled at like that.

He didn't create anything.

- No?
- No!

He bought office supplies.
He made sandwiches.

He wrote a few words
on the board.

We created the show.
We developed it.

We invented the characters.

He never even heard the bloody
pitch until this morning.

So what should I tell them?

- No! No!
- No! Tell them no!

Yeah, he's not gonna get
a "created by" credit.

You don't get something
for nothing.

Unless you're Evan Shimkin.

[lively ringtone plays]

[phone beeps]

Yo.

So I just got a call
from Eileen.

- Who?
- Their agent.

You just spent
45 minutes with her.

Yeah, so?

They're saying no
to the "created by" thing.

What?

Bullshit.

I've been part of this
every step of the way.

Who do you think bought
the fucking pads and pens?

I'm just telling you
what she said.

The whole thing is based
on me and my father.

Doesn't get any more
"created by" than that.

I hear you.

Yeah, well, push back.

Tell 'em it's a deal breaker.
Fuck them.

[Sean] Hello?

So I just got off with Roger.

- And?
- Yeah, it's a deal breaker.

- What? No!
- What?

Matt feels that because
the show's based

on him and his father--

That's ridiculous.

That's like saying
the bear should have

a piece of The Revenant.

[Eileen] Absolutely.

- I mean, he's just being piggy.
- Uh-huh.

This is the one thing
he doesn't get.

[Matt] They came up to my ranch.

I was in the room with them
the whole time.

- We were all pitching stuff.
- I get it.

[Matt] And who the fuck are they
to say no?

What have they done?

One failed series

and a thing
they walked away from?

He's a '90s TV star
coasting on fumes

from a show
that's been off for 13 years!

He's a game show host!

Selling waistcoats
on television!

And he gets to dictate
all the demands?

They're being assholes,
and I'm gonna tell 'em.

- Do not tell them.
- I'm gonna tell 'em.

- I'm gonna tell 'em right now.
- No.

Listen to me.
Don't poison the water.

I will sort this out.
That's what I do.

Let me get into it with Roger.

You make nice.
I'll solve this.

I hate this!
I hate it!

I always said
he was a monster.

It's fucking bullshit.

- Hey!
- Oh! Greetings!

[both laugh]

Oh, yeah.

- Hey! Yeah!
- All right!

- Let's celebrate this thing.
- Yeah.

Let's do it.

I have several other

I never said
I didn't like Jews!

Semitic.
Not anti-Semitic.

Oh.

All right, that's it.

I've left
enough apology messages.

I'm not gonna say it again.

I'm leaving the food.

By the way,
there's a chocolate babka

that will make you convert.

Oh, and I spoke
to Helen about you.

[dog barking in distance]

What did she say?

- Good morning to you.
- Talk.

She told me about the lawsuit.

I'm very impressed.

Yeah, well, I need the money.

What else?

Just that she thinks
you're making a big mistake.

Why? 'Cause no one
will ever hire me again?

Oh, wait.
No one's hiring me now!

Look.

- I know it's been hard.
- It doesn't matter.

- Meaning?
- Meaning I'm done.

I'm going back to Michigan.

To do what?

To have the damn baby.

So you're still planning
on having "the damn baby"?

Yup.

What about Merc?

Fuck Merc.

So you're doing this
by yourself?

My mother'll help.

And you know what?

This baby won't fire me.

This baby won't cheat on me.

This baby will love me.

Unconditionally.

For now.

I can't think of anything
more conditional

than how I feel about my mother.

And your mother's
okay with this?

I don't know.
We're not talking.

Ah.

Check the freezer.

What am I looking for?

Dope.

Last Christmas,
my dealer gave me a free ounce,

so I hid it,

but I was stoned
when I did it, so.

Got it.

Anything?

Frozen peas,

looks like it could've been
a chicken breast,

and ice cubes.

Shit!

Try behind that painting.

Seriously?

It's not like you were hiding
diamonds from the Nazis.

You know,
if you're here to judge,

you can just take
your Chewbacca and go.

Chocolate babka.

Oh. That actually sounds good.

- Mmm.
- You realize...

you're not having
a pilot baby

that you can simply cancel
if it doesn't test well.

This baby is gonna run,

whether it's good or not.

I know!

You think I haven't given this
a lot of thought?

Then why are we still searching
for your stash?

Not everyone says
it's bad for you.

I Googled it.

There's a gray area.

You don't want to have a baby

in a gray area.

[imitating Beverly] You also
don't want to have a baby...

We should set up

just the three of us,
so we can go over

where we are
with Matt and Roger.

And our partner,
Evan Shimkin.

Exactly.

And where are we
exactly?

[Eileen] Well,
I just said to them,

"Guys, listen.

These are two highly regarded,
award-winning writers.

They had the original idea
for this show.

They created the characters,

they developed the story,

and they feel strongly
that they have earned

a sole 'created by' credit."

- And?
- Yeah, they're not budging.

Brilliant.

And this is all coming
from Matt?

Absolutely.

- Fucking Matt.
- So what do we do?

I think we've just got
to bite the bullet.

- So is that it?
- Pretty much.

So then we don't need
to have lunch.

Yeah, it's bullshit.

It's like someone tried

Then why
are you going there?

It's a positive life choice.

Can we change the subject?
I don't want to talk about me.

Words I thought
I'd never hear.

So, what's up with you?

How's the show?

- You really care?
- Hmm.

We got to talk
about something.

Well, he's still insisting

on "created by" credit.

So?
Give it to him.

For what?
He didn't do anything.

So? No one reads
the credits.

And chances are your show's
gonna die anyway.

Oh, loving those hormones.

You know how many shows
make it past the first year?

And out of those,
you know how many

actually make money--
I mean real money?

It's like buying
lottery tickets.

Just get
a big producer fee up front

and a nice penalty
if they cut the order short.

Let him have
his fucking credit.

Just make your show.

You're very good at this.

[scoffs] Lot of good it's
gonna do me in stupid Michigan.

- Then why--
- Bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah.

You know,
you're really starting to show.

I ate the whole babka.

Oh.

[woman]
Take a close look at this.

Just look at the craftsmanship.

Every single stitch
on this Matt LeBlanc vest

is done by hand.

Hey, I wouldn't put
my name on it

if it weren't a beautifully
constructed garment.

And it really, really is.
Just look at the detail.

[Matt] If you watch me
on The Box...

[woman] And who doesn't?
[laughs]

[Matt] Then you know
I love a well-made vest.

Wanker.

[Matt]
When I was designing them,

that was very important to me--

What are you watching?

No!

Apparently,
he's a designer now.

He designed these.

He said these fabrics
"speak" to him.

He actually said those words.

Oh, my God,
don't do this to yourself.

- Who are you talking to?

in that gunsmoke!

- What are you doing?
- Still here.

- Whenever you're ready.
- No, no, no.

If you are about to do

what I think you're--
no, listen to me.

No, Carol made
a really compelling argument

for letting this go.

Do not do something--

from sunny California.

Hello, Sean,
and thank you

for shopping

It's a thrill.

[woman] Is this your first time
shopping with us?

It sure is.

I'm just so excited

to own a Matt LeBlanc original.

just love that accent?

Why do English people
always sound so smart?

Not always.

So, Sean, what is it

about these fabulous
Matt LeBlanc vests

that caught your eye
this afternoon?

Well, they're just smashing.

[stammers]
Oh!

Um, so, tell me, uh, Matt,

you say you designed these
all yourself?

Uh-huh.

Well, of course you did.

You would never take credit

for anything you didn't do.

[woman] So, Sean,

which of these beauties
do you want to get in on today?

Oh, it's so difficult to decide.

I just wish I could touch them.

They all look
so deliciously abrasive.

Yeah.
They are pretty rugged.

[Sean] I bet they are.
If you ask me,

there's nothing like a waistcoat
that could take...

- ...the paint off a car.
- [Beverly gasps]

[woman]
They're definitely manly,

confident,
and very, very classy.

Of course they are.
They reek of class.

Speaking of which,
tell me about the smell.

[woman] The smell?

Yeah, they look like
they give off a nice...

Ah, why don't we
just take another call?

I think that's a good idea.

- One last quick question.
- No--

Matt, uh, you were saying,
um, earlier

about the craftsmanship.

- Uh-huh.

It'll ding
when he writes.

These may still be dirty.

Should we text him?

It just makes us
seem so needy.

- We are needy.
- I know.

But it's too pathetic.

These are dirty.

He's got to have read it by now.

Well, you don't know.

He's like a goldfish.

The minute we leave
his field of vision,

he forgets we exist.

So maybe a text
to nudge him a bit?

- No.
- No?

- No.
- Aah!

- I'm texting.
- Fine, text.

How about, "Thoughts?"

You know, nonchalant, one word.

"Thoughts," question mark.

Or maybe, "Thoughts," comma,

"you inconsiderate fucker,"
question mark.

That's a little more emphatic
than I was going for.

I have no problem with that.

Maybe he was in an accident.

He could be dead
for all we know.

He'd better be.

[Sean] Hello?

[Eileen] Hi, guys.

I just heard from Roger.

And?

He spoke to Matt.

And?

He's passing.

- He's what?
- Who's what?

- Matt.
- Is passing?

Right.

[Sean] He can't pass.

He co-created it.

I know.

So, so, so that's it?
He's, he's, he's just passing?

Well, there is an upside.

He wants his name off it,

so now you can have sole credit.

When did this happen?

Right after he read it.

[whispering]
Cobb salad.
