Man, I appreciate you agreeing
to come work out for me.

Don't look nervous, man.
I got this, baby!

Seems like he may have
lost a step, huh?

MAN: A step or two.

I'm not an employee.
I built this company.

I work for me. I ain't changing,
do you feel me?

-(BONES CRUNCHING)
-Do you feel me?

-Yeah, ow.
-You're fired, mate.

( car alarm beeps )

Spencer:
Joe, I did what I did,

and I don't feel bad about it.

Joe:
Oh, my God.

Can you just admit
that maybe you were being

just a tad bit over-reactive?

What are you, crazy?

Lance is hardly
the victim here, man.

Plus, you said it best yourself.

We can be whoever we wanna be.

- Oh.
- So what do we need him for?

Yeah, well,
maybe I was wrong.

Besides, he's just
pullin' the same shit

we pulled at ASM--
wanting to do it his own way.

Ah, not quite, buddy.

He was effectively stealing
money from us.

I suppose, but was it stealing,

or was it just overspending?

All right, come on. You know
what? The debate is over.

What's done is done.

I know he was your boy,
but he's gone.

Get over it and get in.

( tires squealing )

Joe: You put your trust
in someone, you know?

You bank your career on it--

only to get kicked in the nuts
with a pointed shoe.

It's so disappointing.

All right,
he's fast and loose.

We don't need that shit
in our lives.

Yeah, no, totally.
So what do we do now?

Well, we stabilize
our client list,

and we rally the troops.

Spencer: Jess,
where is everyone?

This is everyone.

Everyone else went with Lance.

Where?

He started his own company.

Oh, fuck me!

Well, it was nice
meeting you guys.

No, no, no, no--

You're not going anywhere.
Hang tight.

I need you.

Yeah. Excuse us.

Is this a fuckin' joke?

It must be,
because I am laughing

my little scrawny ass off.

Spencer: We bought the company
and its assets from you, Lance,

so the ass you're laughing off
is owned by us.

Oh, well, then you're
gonna have to sue me,
aren't you, Spencer?

I will bankrupt you,
you piece of shit.

- Do you hear me?
- Well, as I understand it,

possession is nine-tenths
of the law, and currently,

I possess everything
that you want to keep.

Spencer over phone:
You have a non-compete, Lance.

Yeah, about that non-compete.

Why don't you say hello
to Kelly Slater?

Hey, Spencer.
I was gonna call you
on the way over here.

What's up,
my bald-headed brother?

- Talk to me.
- I'm staying with Lance, man.

You know I'm loyal to a fault.

What happened
to the kanikapila
we just had on the beach

with our 'ohanas,
what we talked about?

I don't let a good pig roast
get in the way of business.
Sorry, bud.

- I'm staying with Lance.
- Fuck that motherfucker!

- He's a piece of shit!
- No, no, no, Actually,
fuck you, Spencer.

Now, the GOAT,
or King Kelly as people

who actually know him
call him,

and I are just gonna enjoy
some post-wave good vibes

and talk about making
a lot of money

while you do whatever
you do as a hobby. Ta-ta.

Nobody fucking go anywhere.

We're going to fucking war.

( sighs )

Trainer:
One, two... one, two, three.

Damn. You are one angry
motherfucker today, Ricky.
What's up?

He hits like he hates
white people.

Nah, that ain't true, man.
I love you, Randy.

Jay:
I love you too, Randy.

One, two, three.

Thinking about
un-retiring, though.

Worked for me a couple times.

Actually, it worked
for you about six times.

Floyd, too.
What's the problem, Ricky?

There you go.

Well, how'd you feel
before you did?

Emotionally or physically?

Before you answer that,

let's consider
the source over here.

He's always off emotionally.

( both shouting )

I mean physically, man.

How'd you know whether you
still had the gift?

You never really know

until you get punched
in the face.

Are you joking, Randy?

- Do I look like I'm joking?
- No.

Jay: Rick, you're too pretty
to get punched in the face.

Shit. That ain't never
stopped me before, Jay. Huh?

But you gotta
really ask yourself,

what's your motivation?

Honestly, Ricky,

if your motivation is external--
money and cars--

you are done.

That's what you
asked yourself?

Yeah.

That shit's deep, man.

I like that shit.
Therapists ain't got shit
on y'all, huh?

Y'all should put that
in the class.

Oh, trust me.
We work on this

more than we work on this.

Gonna be real with y'all, man,

I'd much rather be playing ball

than sittin' around
in my Newport Beach mansion

waitin' to die.

How's that for motivation?

Let's get some more therapy.

Keep 'er goin'.

It's Strasmore.

Spencer Strasmore's my name.

Get me Tony Hawk.

Travis, I'm calling to tell you

we're making a couple changes
at the head office.

Shit. I'm not--
I love Lance.

He's fucking insane.
Sorry, Joe, I gotta jump.

I hope your fucking chute
doesn't open, ya dickhead.

Chutes are for pussies.

Tony. Just calling
to let you know

that we are no longer
working with Lance.

Yo, Strasmore, hold your pitch.

I don't wanna put you out there

any more than you already are.

Lance is the one
who gave me the idea

to do the video game
in the first place.

I wasn't gonna call it
"Tony Hawk's Pro Skater."

What the fuck were you
gonna call it?

- "The Bird's Nest."
- The Bird's Nest?

Aw, Tony. Jesus Christ.

Long story. Either way,

Lance has helped me build a lot
of parks for a lot of kids,

so I gotta roll with the guy
even though he is kinda douchey.

If things don't work out
between you guys,

you know where to find me, OK?
I'm always here.

Spencer, I've got Laird for you.

Laird, King of the seas. Listen,
my man. So we're not gonna be--

Laird: It's too late.
When I signed up
with the company,

I signed up with Lance.

You know my dad
always said to stick

with the wave that
you rode in on.

That's what I try to teach
my daughters, and, well,

I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't
at least give Lance

the benefit of the doubt.

It's there's
one thing I understand,

it's family tradition,
all right?

You give my love to Gabby
and take care of yourself.

- Where's Parker?
- No answer.

Well, keep dialing.

It's going straight
to voicemail.

- Think he's with Lance?
- I have no idea.

Make a list of people
who are staying and people
who are going.

I think that's
gonna be pretty easy.

Wait-- whoa.
Are you jumping ship, too?

Well, that depends.
Are you guys gonna
promote me to manager?

Holy shit.
Way to take advantage
of us when we're down.

Jess, get the fuck
out of these offices.

I'm only kidding.
Take an empty office. Congrats.

Great. I'll make sure we
take care of the phones

so people know we haven't
gone out of business.

We are never out of the fight,
Jess, right?

The fuck happened
to the TVs?

( sighs )
They've gone dark.

Where's the control booth?

It's right next door.

Let me know when you
get ahold of Parker.

Respect.

All right, bitches.
Let's get to work.

( phone ringing )

Major Teague!
How's your sunburn?

The sun didn't fuck me half
as bad as you did, motherfucker.

Jason:
What are you talking about?

You lying piece of shit.
I'll fucking kill you!

What the hell's going
on over there?

Is that Tiffany,
or is that Tasha?

Take a wild fucking guess.

Fuck you, too, Jason,

you conspiratorial asshole!

I'm guessin' it's Tiffany.

- Bingo.
- You got busted.

No, I didn't get busted.

Come out of there!

Your girl Donna put me on blast.

She put a pic up
on IG of me and Tasha.

The shit was framed
and filtered.

Why would she do that
unless you said something
to upset her?

Tiffany:
Come out of there, you pussy!

I ain't never coming out of here
with your crazy ass!

I didn't say shit about Tiger,
and that's the truth.

Be a man, Jason.

OK, of course I said something.

I'm an insecure fuck,

just like any other dude
would be

who found out their girl
was getting dicked

by the guy that won
four Masters.

- You need to fix this.
- ( banging on door )

Is it even fixable?

Donna gotta call Tiffany

and tell her that she
brought her on the boat

and I ain't know nobody
was coming except you.

( sighs ) Fuck.

You can't take care of it,
lose my number.

Tiffany: Cheater!
You think you can cheat on me?

- Abre la puerta!
- This bitch is crazy.

( distant phone ringing )

Un-fuckin'-believable.

Joe: There you go.
There's your answer.

They're all dead.

Hey! How's your
breakfast burrito?

It's delicious. It's vegan.

Oh, that's fantastic.
Let me ask you something.

Why the fuck are you
still eating breakfast?

No, I--
I already had breakfast.

This is an early lunch.

Do you have
a job around here,

or do you get paid to eat?

Geez, Spencer.
He's just a kid.

I'm sorry, sir.
It's just everything's on hold,

and no one knows what to do.

It's called work.
That's what you do.

You find a disc,
and you pop it in,

of somebody riding some sort
of board, and press play.

- It's not that simple.
- Oh, no?

You run things around here?

No. The guys who runs
things was fired.

- By who?
- By you. It was Lance.

I'm just the station manager.

Well, Mr. Station Manager,

can you tell me,
why isn't anything

playing on these screens?

Lance said go dark,
we went dark.

Everybody in the TV business

knows you don't
go fucking dark.

I'm not even
in the business.
I know that.

Maybe that's why Lance
wanted to go dark--

to do what's never been done.

Or maybe he just wants

to see how far he can push me

before I snap his fucking neck.

Look, I'm sorry.
I did not mean

to make you madder--

Hey, hey, hey!
Get your nose back

in the tofu scramble
and shut the fuck up.

All right, listen.
As everyone around here

can tell from our memo,

we had to let Lance go.

We're the ones in charge now.

What we want to see is something
on these screens.

What did you have in mind?

I don't give a shit.

Just make it pretty
and keep it going.

( phone ringing )

Joe:
What are you guys doing?

Come on. Make it pretty, and go!

Did you find Parker?

He's not picking up his cell,

but it looks like he's headed

down the PCH in his pickup.

How do you know that?

Jesse:
I hacked into his iPhone.

Well, I had his password,

so it wasn't that hard.

I bet you think
I'm a stalker now.

No, I don't.

I think you're a very
resourceful woman.

Cool. Can I get
another promotion

if I tell you where he stops?

Yes, you can, and I might even

be giving you my job soon.

Couldn't do without you,
Spency Spence.

- ( Joe laughing )
- Wake up.

That happened in reality!

♪ You know I'm comin' for ya ♪

( phone ringing )

Spencer:
Siz calling. Third time.

Avoid. Avoid,
avoid, avoid.

Like I do with Vernon

and fucking Odrick
and James Harrison.

Avoid him.

Siz, what's going on, brother?

I'm up to my ass
in acupuncture needles,

and they still don't
cause me as much pain as you.

So I'm assuming you heard.

Yeah. I heard you
fucked some shit up

for you and your investors.

I'm one of those, too,
just in case you forgot.

No, I have not forgotten.

We had a little problem
with our partner

because he is
a self-indulgent prick

and a pathological liar.

Well, that pathological liar

said you cut him out
of his own company.

- Where'd you hear that?
- From him.

Lance called me
in the middle of the night.

Your buddy Lance is calling
our investors now.

I've told you
he was a go-getter, right?

Not that that's
a good thing, but--

You know what
I'm talking about.

( sighs ) Siz--

Who the fuck buys
a business and fires the CEO?

It's like buying a team

and cuttin' your
All-Pro quarterback.

I'm the CEO now.
He left us no choice.

Sizzle:
That's bullshit.

As my girl says,

you always got a choice,

and she's right.

Lance is not the primary
asset of Sports X.

- The talent is.
- Shit. I got talent, too.

And my talent is my instinct
for protecting my investments,

and those same instincts
are telling me

you need to fix
this shit with Lance.

It's too late.
I already made
the decision.

It's in the best
interests of ASM.

Well, I guess ASM
ain't in my best interest.

Fuck it. I'm out.

Sell my shares.
Cut me a cashier's check.

We done?

You're the worst patient ever.

You validate?

What? What? He hang up on you?

He wants out.

Oh, fuck me.

( music playing )

There's our guy.

Yo! What up, my dudes?

Where ya been, bro?
We've been looking for you.

Yeah, I know.
I lost my phone

in the tsunami.

What tsunami?

The one tearing
through Sports X.

Ah, we take it you
heard from Lance.

Yeah, I know. He left me
a long, crazy-ass voicemail.

Kinda like an ex-girlfriend.

Can't underestimate that dude,
though, you feel me?

- Yeah.
- I'll be right back.
Just two seconds.

Listen, we got an amazing
plan in place, Parker, OK?

We want that to include you.

Next level shit.
Game-changing stuff, OK?

Parker, you can tell by the way
we handled that Coke deal,
we know what's up.

Listen. I know that we have a
slightly different vibe than you
and your crew,

but, I mean, we can still
feel you, you know?

You think
you can feel me, Joe?

Yeah, I can absolutely
feel you. Yeah.

Then what am I
feeling right now?

Uh... confused.

- Horny.
- Fuck. I shoulda said "horny."

I was gonna say it.
I was gonna say "horny."

Parker, look man. We wanna
continue to rep you,

and we're very confident that
we can do a great job for you.

Man, this ain't pigskin,
all right.

What makes you think you know
anything about what I do?

Oh, come on, man.
When those waves are firing

and the energy's moving,

you're out there
rippin' your turns,

I know everything
about what you do.

Plus, I'm part Samoan. Come on.

( chuckles ) This is
a charming motherfucker.

Right? He's part Samoan.

- Of course he is.
- Must be somethin'.

Look. We just want
the opportunity

to keep working for you,
you know?

Blow you the fuck up.

We're counting
on that happening.

I like you guys, all right?

I really do, so I'm gonna
be straight up with you.

All right, I'm not
going with Lance.

All right. Fantastic.

But?

But I'm gonna chill,

go no reps for a while.

Just give us a couple months.
That's all. Couple months.

Stop begging. It's all good.

You change your mind,
you know where to find us.

Appreciate that.
All right. I gotta go
get back to my friends.

- Go kick ass.
- Joe: Yeah.

- Yeah, so... appreciate it.
- Go.

Yep. All right, man.

- Take it easy.
- All right.

( sighs )

Goddamn it. I was gonna
say fuckin' horny.

What-- He's 19.
Of course he's horny.

( rap music playing )

( door shuts )

There he is.

TTD: What's up?

You all right, T?

Yup. You had fun
with your He-Men?

Yeah, did good, man.
Got some good work in, too.

So you should do
your organs a favor

and put it on your to-do list.

It's on there--
all the way at the bottom.

Did you get any advice
for your comeback?

- Some.
- Like what?

Punch me in the face.

What?

Is it so hard to understand
what I just said?

I said, "Punch me
in the face."

- Nigga, you crazy.
- You think I'm joking?
I'm not.

You asked me what I learned,
this is what I learned.

Now punch me in the face
before I beat your ass.

Don't hit me!

Oh, shit. You OK?

Might be ready.

It's time to have a real
conversation with Amber.

You done lost
your damn mind.

Forget Amber. You need
to have a real conversation
with a shrink.

You all right?

Fuck. Our lives are over.

That's a little alarmist,
Joe.

Yeah, well,
this ain't good, man.

I figure, best-case scenario,

we sell Sports X at, what,

a 7, 8 million dollar loss,
right?

But most likely
it's just gonna bleed and bleed

like a tumor
hemorrhaging in my ass.

That's OK. We got
a solution for this.

We just gotta find it. OK?

( sighs ) Lance was my contact,

this was my deal,
I brought him in.

I misjudged it. I'm sorry.

Absolutely not.
This one's on me.

It's my bad, and I never
should've let us

get in this shit
in the first place.

No, no. No chance. No chance.

I take full responsibility.

I had to see Lance
for who he really was,

not who I wanted him to be.

But it was a little hard
when you're rolling
at Burning Man

dressed up like
a fucking Martian

pretending to look
at art installations.

Goddamnit.
Hearing that out loud,

my priorities are
totally fucked.

Tell you what my old man
used to tell me.

Hey, Spencer, Spencer...
save it, OK?

Save it. I've listened
to all your stories

about your old man
and your brother and the--

I just-- I don't
have a family.

I don't have a family.

You know, I was only child,
both my parents are gone,

and, to make matters worse,
I killed my wife.

You did, didn't you?

I was just trying
to get your attention

with a big headline,
like you usually do--

"I'm an addict,
I come from poverty,

and my brother
committed hara-kiri--"

Don't fucking mock
my stories, man.

- I'm not.
- It's fucked up.

I'm just trying to tell you.

I'm not a former All-Pro.

I don't have 23-inch biceps
and a fuckin' horse cock.

I'm just speculating.

I had this, man.
I had this.

This was my chance
to be the man.

You got two things
you're great at.

( sighs ) Yeah, what's that?

Fearlessness
and self-awareness.

Don't overestimate me, pal.

If you like those qualities,
you can have 'em at cost,

because they don't
mean shit to me.

No. There's no need.

You've already
given them to me, Joe,

just by showing me the way.

You've made me aware enough

to realize that I overreacted

and I shouldn't
have clipped Lance...

and I'm gonna go
apologize to him.

( sighs ) Are you fucking
with me right now?

I wish I was.

Have I told you lately
that I love you?

Every day.

Babe. Babe.

Yo, I'm in here.

Hi, sweetie.

What are you reading?

Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean in."

I love that book.

Doubt you read it.

I haven't, but I support it,

you know, women empowerment,

females in the workplace,
sisterhood.

Exactly. So... what's up
with the Chanel box?

- Oh, this?
- Yeah.

Just a little something
I got you.

For real?

Aww. How sweet of you,
babe.

It's beautiful.

Do you like it?

I'd say you shouldn't have,
but you really should have,

and don't think this is getting
you a blowjob anytime soon,
by the way.

Babe, come on.

Are you ready to admit
that you were wrong?

That that girl shouldn't
have been on the boat?

And by you staying silent,
you're an enabler.

Might as well
be fucking her yourself.

Whoa. How did this
become about me?

Because it is.
You're complicit.

That's what
you're not getting.

You're right. I don't--

I didn't,
but what you don't get

is this is business.

Kisan's not my friend--

he's my client
that you put on blast,

and I can't even get him

on the phone until you fix this.

Sheryl would understand.
She's worth a billion.

Right. I hope you're not
asking me to apologize.

Of course not. I would never.

I want you to lie.

- Fuck you.
- Babe, just... call Tiffany,

tell her that you
invited Tasha. Please.

It's just business.
It's my business.

Please.

He hasn't missed a beat.

This guy's already operating
at full strength.

I wish he had been like this
with us in the first place.

Yeah, well,
getting fired can be
a great motivator.

Trust me. I've been cut
on several occasions.

Oh, I'll keep that in mind,
but I like my current job.

I wanna keep it.

( sighs )

- Hey. What's up, guys?
- Yeah, what's up?

What happened
to our call back, Nyjah?

Aw, man. I was out
car shopping.

Car shopping? Don't you have,
like, 16 cars already?

Yeah, bro.
I need a yellow one.

( chuckles ) Yeah,
you do. Fuck your cars.

Nyjah:
Fuckin' bullies.

You know, that kid
really can skate.

Yeah, Joe, uh,
I'm getting ready

to do something
incredibly uncomfortable,

so please don't speak.

OK. Forgiving is living.

Spencer:
Let's do this.

Oh, no. Oh, wow. This is--
This is amazing.

I knew I'd see you guys again,

but I assumed it would be
in a court of law.

Yeah, well, that would
make the lawyers rich.

I'd rather concentrate
on making me rich.

You're rich in spirit.

Thank you, Joe.

Although, it is
a little bit evil.

Now how's life at the chocolate
factory without Willy Wonka?

Augustus Gloop, did ya?

I gotta give it you, Lance.
I'm really impressed.

You really turned it up a notch.

Shit's poppin' off here.

- People often underestimate me.
- That's why I'm here.

I wanna tell you
that I've overreacted

and I was wrong to assume
that we didn't need you

and I apologize.

I'm sorry. Would you
say that again, please?

I said, "I apologize"
to you.

You were wrong, weren't you?

- He just said it. Lance...
- It's all right.

Now, well, listen.
I'm allowed to...

enjoy the moment
a little bit, aren't I?

To bask in the vitamin D-giving
rays of your apology,

just for a moment
to feel it?

What? That makes me terrible?

To put it bluntly, Lance,

we can't do this without you.

I appreciate your
acknowledgement, Spencer.

It's a little late, but it's
a step in the right direction.

I am so impressed
with this guy right here.

Constantly improving
right before my very eyes.

So, um, what do you say?

I mean, are you gonna
come back to work with us?

We'll make it fun for you.
We'll stay out of your way.

Well, that is
a very nice little offer,

but I think I've got
an even nicer one.

What's that?

I got new financing,

as even you can surely deduce

from all this bustling
activity.

So how about this?

I buy my company
back from you

at 50 cents on the dollar,

and you go back
to what you're good at--
football and finance.

Have a little moment,
a tête-à-tête.
Mull it over.

Ahh..

Joe: So what are you thinking?

As much as I hate
this motherfucker,

and as much as I hate telling
you this right now,

I think we should
take the offer.

- Cut our loss.
- Losses, plural.

- Tick-tock, tick-tock, fellas.
- Remember? A lot of 'em.

This is a sunset clause.

Let's take the offer,
get the fuck out of here, Joe.

Come on.

Yeah. Listen, hey--
may I run point

on the negotiations from here?

- Take us home.
- All right.

So... how about you
take that offer,

and you stick it straight up
your fuckin' ass?

That's a little reactive.

It's the only way
I like to be, really.

- Fuck you.
- ( laughing )

Fuck you. No sale.

OK, well, you guys
are making a mistake.

You know you guys
have got nothing, right?

You got a couple pieces
of whack talent

and a moderately
successful surf channel.

Lance:
Without me, you got nothing.

I know, but it's what we do.

We make it work. ( laughs )

I am Sports X.
