This is where it all began, gentlemen.

The birthplace of Hooli.

Peter Gregory's mother's garage.

That was Peter's workstation.

This was mine.

Things sure have changed.

But in a way, they've stayed exactly the same.

As we forge our new path together,

we must remain focused on what's really important...

not material success or wealth,

but this, the spirit of innovation...

a few coders, some ramen, and a dream.

And that is why I brought you here.

All right. Let me show you the rest of the place.

(whirring)

Gilfoyle: Ah. You've got a garage inside your garage.

Impressive.

I'll move you in as soon as construction is complete.

It's going to be exquisite.

Frank Gehry has really outdone himself.

Yeah. Frank is the fucking best.

He does all my buildings.

Richard: Okay, guys. We're all set up.

Shall we?

Yes! Let's do it, of course.

Richard: All right. So, in building this peer-to-peer Internet,

the paradox that we're up against is

that people won't want to participate until the quality is high,

and the quality won't be high until, um...

and the quality won't be high

until we have a lot of people opt in to the network,

so that presents a little bit of a-a... a unique...

Continue.

Oh. Uh, okay.

It presents a bit of a problem what with

that we kind of need to build... Oh.

Uh... (stammers)

Richard, everything okay?

I don't know. Is it?

Oh, sorry. Guys, Bryce. Bryce, guys.

Uh, actually, we've met.

Oh. Hey, Donald.

Uh, it's Jared now.

- So, Gavin. Bryce is...? - (machine beeps)

- Very discreet. - (whirring)

Keep going. This is great.

Uh, is Bryce your assistant?

No, of course not. He's my transfusion associate.

Which is?

Are you really not familiar with parabiosis?

Can't say that I am.

Well, the science is actually pretty fascinating.

Regular transfusions of the blood of a younger, physically fit donor

can significantly retard the aging process.

And Bryce is a picture of health.

Just look at him. He looks like a Nazi propaganda poster.

Oh.

Ed Chen threw this whole thing just to suck up to Laurie.

Monica...

this is not a baby shower.

This is a coup.

Ed Chen didn't throw this party to impress Laurie.

He threw it to oust her.

Which brings us to our one final, crucial question.

What value can we offer now to the user

to entice them to download the app and opt in to our network?

And the answer is...

the brand-new Pied Piper app.

The app will take all of the data

on a person's phone and compress it,

freeing up 20 percent more storage.

They can have half of that free memory,

while we will take the other half,

walled off on their phone, for our own future use.

- It's a win-win. - Gavin: Mmm.

That's very well thought out.

Well done, gentlemen.

So, when do we announce?

Announce what?

Richard, when I do something, it's news.

Don't you think you want to lean into that?

We'll announce, rack up huge user interest,

and then do a massive public launch at scale.

Uh, no. We planned this under the assumption

that it would be rolling out quietly

and not really talking about our ultimate intentions.

Besides, rolling out at scale is a completely different model

with vastly different technical and business challenges.

And we're not prepared for that. No. I think we'd all agree

that a... a stealth rollout would be best for this one.

Mmm.

(inhales sharply)

Gavin: Bryce?

Did you have a thought?

Uh, well...

you know, it just seems like a missed opportunity.

I mean, shouldn't you figure out

how a big launch would work

before you just say no to it?

- Hmm. - Or... Or not.

You know, it's not my company.

That is so true.

You know, Richard, Bryce makes a good point.

Why don't you guys just whip up an alternate launch plan

with a big public rollout, and then we can compare apples to apples.

Gavin, all-all... all due respect.

This plan took two weeks to develop.

Hard work is the price of greatness,

so let's get to work.

Woo!

Well, this meeting was just absolutely fucking great!

Richard, Donald... Goldfoil!

(breathes deeply)

Woo! (laughs)

Go team!

Woo!

Uh... the fuck just happened?

- (clears throat) Hey, Bryce? - Yeah?

Wh... uh, next time you're at a meeting of our company,

of which you are not a part of in any respect,

can you please keep your little ideas to yourself?

I'm... I'm sorry. I'm just... I'm just trying to be helpful.

Richard: Well, you weren't, at all.

I mean, we had him on our side,

because I'd basically just convinced Gavin

that a stealth rollout was the best idea.

Uh, you know, well, I...

It's just a stealth rollout doesn't sound like the way to go to me.

Do you have any idea what that kind of stress

could do to his cortisol levels?

And therefore, my cortisol levels?

Y... Yeah. Well, uh, he's not technically in the company,

and he kind of just butted in, so...

Is your ego so fragile

that if someone disagrees with you,

you have to demean them?

I want you to go and apologize to Bryce immediately.

Why should I apologize?

Why should I be in business

with someone who treats support staff with such contempt?

You can tell a lot about a person's character

by how they treat the little people, Richard.

My career choice?

You think that I moved out here to be a blood boy?

Yeah, but you probably thought that I was just, you know, some dumb jock.

we never get taken seriously in the tech business

by people who look like you.

You're biased.

Whoa. Hang on. I am not biased. Okay?

Aw, come on! Hey, the whole business is biased!

I mean, that's the only way that a good-looking guy like me
