ass hole

hey buddy, you just parked in my reserved spot and racked up about ten moving violations.

sorry mate, I guess I forgot you yanks drive on the wrong side of the road.

There are plenty of other places to park.

Mark Richfield, and you are?

Steve Miller.

pleasure, looks like we're going to be colleges. Off to a lovely start

Mark walk with me

I wanted to get you all in one room today to make a few announcements.

what's up Stevo? Who's the new guy?

I don't know. I'm still trying to figure that one out. What's Parsons up too?

I heard this guy is well connected and for Roland.

come on, that Foist account is totally up for grabs.

I would also like to formally introduce Mark Richfield. Mark. I hired him yesterday.

He has a great resume and personally, I like his style.

that account is not for grabs.

I've been working on that account for three years now. Parsons knows that.

I'm with you Steve, I don't like this guy. I don't like him at all.

Our account associates are being flown there next week for a team building retreat.

this is mandatory so please confirm with Amber

we fly out on Friday morning , and we fly back on Monday

and when we get back to town, we're gonna be a team.

an arming! we're gonna be the roughest toughest ad agency in town.

hey boss, can we talk?

what's up?

well I've been here for five years. You know I've worked my ass off.

I started in Cable ads and I've handled some of our biggest clients. I've done well.

What's your point Steve?

I assumed that the Foist account be handed down to me once Roland retired. I'm the one.

Stop right there. you did start in cable. you're lucky you started here at all.

you were a cop with no experience in advertising what so ever.

I hired you on a hunch. I had a gut feeling about you

I hired you because I thought if you could get someone to sign a confession

you could get them to sign a contract.

I haven't made any decision on the Foist account yet, OK?

OK. fair enough Harold. but I've worked on this account for years

and words out now there's this new high flayer nosing around the office.

you mean Mark Richfield? He's not nosing around, he's here because I hired him.

if you think I'm not working up to speed..

Steve , stop. I have no complaints about your work. are we good?

oh we're good

Well, Ms. Bakewell, I think that's all we need from you

Thank you very very much. We look forward to another three years with you.

Thank you Steve and you never disappoint me

oh Thank you, We'll see you soon, OK bye bye

Just signed three more years with Bakewell

Well done. Good Job. Mark, grab a glass for Steve.

Mr. Richfield just signed a contract with rolls. We're going international.

to me...

baby, we have nothing in common.

don't say that

it's true, you never want to go to the opera or the theater with me

and I can't sit through another dodger game

well we're not always going to like the same things

we don't like any of the same things

yes with you, yes with you

baby, it's over, I'm going to Pilate

hi, sis

hey, what are you doing?

no, don't tell me, I know, you're running or drinking beer on the couch.

I'm running

liar, don't fall asleep on the couch

what's up?

are you still coming to mum and dad's?

I said I'm coming. It's not for like a month. so drop it

go to bed. love you

good night Laura. thanks.

Miller you missed the fun of the plane

not a very team oriented of you

what are we supposed to be doing here?

role playing and I'm up. I'm the devil and I need to sell you a new soul.

sell me a soul? don't you mean buy?

it says selling , mate

alright everybody start

I can tell you aren't whole

really?

There's a hole in you. A place where you have a need.

One only needs to look and see you are a very unhappy man

I'm fine

Look, I'm only trying to heal you

give you happiness, make you whole again.

you just need to allow me.

It won't take long, just a matter of a time.

trust me

trust me and I'll give you everything you need..

time, OK good let's take a quick break

you used the oldest trick in the book, using sex to sell

don't you use it?

no, it's not my style, plus it gets you in trouble

you like a bit a trouble officer Miller..

what did you call me?

I heard you were a cop before working here

yeah, I was but I'm not anymore

Jesus I need a beer

me too, it's time to get this party started.

not me, I'm hitting the hay

I bet they'll have a bunch of bullshit planned for us tomorrow.

me too, I plan on being on my toes tomorrow

if I can sleep in this heat.

it's flaming hot.

well Officer Miller, we did miss you on the flight

it's a brilliant invention the airplanes

actually safer than automobile.

yeah, drop it Richfield.

this room should be fun, like being stuck in a lion's den

good morning everybody, I hope we are all ready for a touch exercise.

you're going to use your brains and you bronze to build a fence on this ranch.

now this isn't just a competition, but an exercise in leadership

now your boss Mr. Parsons has chosen Steve Miller to help motivate the group

shot me now

hello roomy, so you're our leader and what will you make us do?

build the fucking fence

divide yourselves into two teams

you're going to build one fence together, there are two posts on either side.

you have to work together to get the remaining post in the ground at the right level.

the exercise ends when both teams have come together in the middle.

The team with the most post in the grounds wins. Alright everybody begins.

alright guys let's go two teams, let's go Richfield, Janet, Kevin, jay, Cindy over here on this side

everyone else with me over here let's go. let's set up shop

I know I'm not a very good leader, I just took over

and I know that wasn't the point of the exercise.

Look Steve, it's a team building exercise, you don't have to shoulder it all yourself

I could motivate them to do anything

but you lead by example and you showed them that it could be done

come on let's get you bandaged up

you're one tough mother fucker Stevo, way to make us all look like wimps.

you made yourselves look like wimps

physical power means nothing, especially in advertising

you know what? you're just a pussy, Richfield

and you're just a control freak who takes this all much too seriously

I haven't seen you smile once since I I've met you.

you have to have a laugh sometimes.

what are you reading

a manual for tomorrow's hike. it's dangerous out there

look for your colored flags, don't take anybody else's if you come across it.

Play fare and we'll see you back here in a couple of hours.

Get going, get your flags and get back. You have three hours.

let's go. let's take a look at the map

alright looks like we're heading north.

Charlie, which way is north?

this way

this way? well, let's give it a try.

I think we should go that way

you think. got us bloody wondering and you think it's that way. give me the map.

right, there's a bunch of juniper trees over there and a hill over there and a pinion

what the hell's a pinion?

it's a snake, I remember that from biology class in high school

we walk a few meters that way and there should be a flag marking the spot

how far is a meter?

what the fuck man, we should be at our goal by now

everyone just calm down, Charlie give me the compass.

Charlie, this compass is broken, couldn't you tell?

give me the map

lemme here has lead us in the wrong direction

oh fuck off

so where the hell are we Richfield?

please tell me we're not lost

we're not bloody lost

yes thanks to you we're bloody lost

thanks to me? I take over for one minute and no it's my fault we're lost!

I give in. I vote we stay here for the night.

it's getting dark and we are literally just wondering in the desert

we can't stay here, we'll die out here and I ain't getting bit by a fucking pinion

a pinion is a tree, you idiot

and we're not going to die. haven't you guys ever been camping?

yeah, at a camp ground with an outhouse and a tent, I'm out, Charlie

I'm with Kevin, I like the urbane jungle not this shit. you guys are staying? I'm not lingering

maybe we should go with them

then go, they have no idea where they are going

and you do? you know where we are going?

relax, someone will be by before we know it

relax, somebody will find us, let's just stay here..

are you kidding? nobody is on their way you're bloody idiot.

what about coyotes and snakes and bloody scorpions? I read about it in the manual.

alright, look I told you not to worry, are you really that soft and pampered that you can't just

lay out in the desert for a few hours and cool off?

I'm very pampered as a matter of fact. My parents have entitlement and breeding.

I'm not accustomed to roughing it , ever.

you think you're so bloody macho that you can run over everyone around you

well you can't run over me.

What are you talking about?

Please. the team exercise. You didn't motivate anybody.

you used it as an opportunity to flex your muscles.

It was complete arrogance.

You know what, you're the arrogant one, you couldn't even bothered to lift a figure

it was a team exercise and you made it perfectly clear that you didn't need any body's help.

you can't , you can't leave me alone

I won't

bloody freezing

it's amazing how the temperature dips after the sun sets

don't you feel cold?

yeah but I'm just not bitching

stop playing bloody hero

you don't get stars like this in LA

you can't see much of anything but smog

I use to love star gazing as a kid

did you? not shooting birds in the wood

what kind of monster do you think I am?

I don't know you well enough to guess

yeah well I'm actually a nice guy

you have that on your curriculum vitae

my what?

your resume

yeah I know what a CV is alright!

I didn't get where I am today because I'm a freaking idiot

and where are you today officer Miller?

lost in the freaking desert

you're lost too

well you got us lost copper

the compass was broken

sorry to offend an officer of the LAPD!

you're going to hit me. you were going to hit me

go ahead and hit me, you want me? pick me?

you have fucking courage Richfield

go ahead, I know you've wanted to

You're so fucking paranoid that I'm going to take your precious Foist account.

did you know that Parsons promised it to me? it was a condition of my God damn employment!

I'm bloody boiling now

Richfield, you are high maintenance

you're right about that

Mark, are you gay?

no, that was um... and you?

no, I'm not. that was the first time that has happened. truly

me too

ah, did you see that?

yeah, I saw it.

There is a place in LA where we can see stars.

it's on the coast ,north of Malibu

what the hell is that?

sounds like a jeep

water?

we're over here

I'm a filthy mess

hey, we're over here. hey!!

they're fine. I told you they're fine

are you OK guys?

we're good Harold, calm down. now listen

we have to find Kevin and Charlie alright?

they made it back last night

Kevin and Charlie made it back?

yes

Charlie? Kevin and Charlie made it back!!!

yes

come on, let's go

I'm going to take a shower

hey Steve!

hey, it's Mark too. all of survivors

hey we need a picture

Steve, where are you going?

I'm gong to head out. I've got a long drive ahead of me

oh man, today's the last day. no more contests. no work

no one's going to be in the office until Tuesday

I really need to go but you guys have fun, alright

hey, I'm proud of you. Mark told me that he wouldn't have survived without your leadership

no, that's not true, it was a team effort

be safe

alright guys, I'll see you later, bye

hey what's up guys? how was the flight?

good and the drive?

it was fine. I raced home and missed all the traffic

I bet Kevin and you guys would kill each other

oh you know we're recovered. Team building and all that

well gents, back to work

see you at three o'clock Stevo

what's happening at three?

Mark said there is a big announcement

Foist?

must be. He sounded pretty smug. Sorry bro

Steve, you proved to be a great leader and more importantly a survivor, and Mark,

first you bring us Rolls international then we thank you by getting you lost in the desert.

you were a real trooper this weekend. I'd like to be the first to congratulate you, Mark.

because I have on good authority . our own Mark Richfield is engaged to be married.

married?

yes, thank you, my fianc�e Sharon and I are to be married

and you're all invited to the wedding, new job, new accounts and a new wife

Steve, let's take a walk.

Steve I've made a decision in the Foist account. you're the first to know

I understand Sir

relax, it's yours. you're the man for the job

don't you think you've earned it?

yes yes of course sir, I thank you.

I really appreciate that. that's great news.

I'll have Rolland sit down with you and hand over the files, paper, most of it

only need to be scanned and shredded

has Mark been told about Foist yet?

like I said, you're the first to know

do you mind if I'm the one who break it to him?

not if you're gonna rub his face

no no, of course not

hey, you got a minute?

what for?

just to talk

what is there to talk about?

business

alright get in here if you're going to linger in the hall like that

you like me in your office, don't you?

yes, I do

come here.........

closer

Steve, this is crazy

closer

I.. I can't.......

I can't, ....I can't do this

yeah, I gotta go

hey, what's up man? Amber, I'm going to lunch. I'll be on my cell, OK?

can I help you?

yeah, sorry the gate was wide open.

I work with Mark at Parsons and company. is he home?

no, he's at work, who are you?

I'm Steve Miller, I'm sorry he just wasn't at his desk today. and you are?

and you are?

I'm Jack. do you want to come in?

no, that's OK, I'm just trying to track down Mark. it can wait.

so are you in advertising as well?

no, I'm an attorney

my ex is a lawyer

oh, what's his name?

her. Sonya Knight. you probably don't know her

I do. I love Sonya. smart lawyer

small world

tell her Jack Larsen says hi

well I better be going

you want to come for a swim? it's hot as hell out

no, I'm good. I didn't bring my bathing suit

should I tell Mark you stopped by?

I'll see him around. Thanks. it's very nice to meet you Jack

nice to meet you

Sonya Knight

hey Sonya, it's me

Steve, I'm surprised to hear from you

well I thought you said that you never wanted to speak to me again

no, I said we can still be friends. what's up?

I have a question for you about a lawyer

oh, doing some detective work?

sort of.

do you know an attorney named Jack Larsen?

yes, why

is he gay?

why do you want to know that?

it's too complicated to explain

yes, he's gay and as far as I know, he's out. why

I knew it

what the hell is going on? you sound like your dad

no, don't bring up the past Sonya, I gotta go

so you're going to hang up? just like that?

listen I don't wanna argue with you.

not gay, huh Richfield?

what do you want?

I want you Richfield

why were you at my house? it was really inappropriate

why did you tell me that you weren't gay?

cuz I'm not gay

Mark!

my roommate said you were snooping around my house

oh, your roommate

yes as hard as it is to believe. Jack is one of my oldest friends

and it's none of your business but I've known him since college

and you don't fuck him

no, I don't.

he's gay yes, but I'm not , I have a fianc�

does she know you're gay?

what's the difference to you Miller?

I don't know.

Maybe because we screwed around in the desert ?

and I can't stop thinking about it.

neither can I. ...

please stop touching me...

oh you're both here.

I just wanna make sure that there was no bloodshed over the Foist account

what?

Foist, you told him?

yeah, of course, we we're having fun

good, good. nothing personal Mark

yes of course, best man won

alright fine

Harold, a word.. Harold!

Sharon, what are you doing here?

I thought we had lunch? we scheduled a few hours this afternoon to take care of wedding details

look love, I'm very busy

you're always busy. why can't you take some time off to come to lunch?

is this the lucky lady?

I hope so. hi

Steve Miller, I work with your fianc�e

well actually Steve, we were just heading to lunch. can it wait till this afternoon?

It can wait as long as you want, Mr. Richfield

great. lunch then my pet?

Steve, why don't you come with us?

no, he's rather busy

actually my schedule is just opened. I'd love to

we have wedding details to discuss Steve. I'm sure you will be bored

she's pretty

would you please leave?

am I invited to your wedding?

yes, the whole office is now please, make some excuse

sorry there was a line..

so what do you think? roses or lilies?

I think the only time a man should pick some flowers is for his mum on mother's day

well I would mind a little help sweetheart. planning a wedding is a lot of work

I'm working hard too Sharon, to make money to pay for this wedding. work with Jack

I'm marrying you, Mark, not Jack

well, speaking of money, what would you say about helping me out with Foist account?

Foist?

come on. share. split the commission

is the commission big?

if we pull this off then the commission will be huge. we'll split it fifty/fifty.

That'll be a nice little nest egg to start off your life together

the problem is that Rolland has his files in Pasadena.

you know how paranoid he gets. so he's dropping off all the paper work at my house this afternoon.

so can I steal your fianc�e? just for the evening

I haven't agreed to anything

convince him, Sharon

well I really should go and meet Rolland. come by my place after lunch.

and congratulations

hey Rolland, thanks for bringing all the files

no problem Steve. I trust you with these

oh Rolland, come on inside and have a seat. I'll be right there

what the fuck was that about?

Mark I just want your help with Foist

you don't want my help, you need a shrink

come on, Rolland's really screwed up. cents of organization is really appealing and I can't do this alone.

You just want to get me next to you so you can get down my trousers.

No, I need your brain for this. Besides, he's inside right now

Rolland, he's inside?

yes and he brought all the files

why should I help you? you've got the bloody account

because I need you

Rolland, Mark is going to help me out

you need help? I never needed any help

just to get me organized

right, I'd like to go through all the old paper work to shred .Anything over five years mind you

we're shredding paper works?

yes if it's old and out of date. it's good idea to purge it

if you think so. I never get rid of anything

are their web based ads up to date?

as far as I know they are. we do mostly print and TV media

and the list of products is complete as far as you know?

no I don't think so. we've got some new items. I'm waiting for the information on those

you know what? don't you let us handle it Rolland

why don't you go home and get some rest

sure, it's my last week anyway

no problem, we'll go through some more stuff and you can help us out in the office tomorrow

sure, sounds good

you know I actually found some useful stuff in these files, this is an official document from the EPA in 1997.

Turns out all Foist products scored really really well.

all the ingredients are plant based. they are 100% biodegradable.

they've been in the business since the 1940's before the industry started using all those nasty chemicals

and the ingredients are still the same today.

and no one ever thought to explain this?

Rolland certainly didn't

read this label, it's cheap.

we need fresh images from their original product. talking back in the glory days

I remember when they came out with these bottles

right! you bring back that retro feel

good thinking Mark

you know I've got it. here's a tact. Foist green since 1946. The other guys, well

they're just green with envy. what do you think?

I think it's genius

maybe it's just brews talking

speaking of which, where's the loo?

you can use the one in my bedroom

now where did you get that?

I found it in your closet. I still can't believe you're a cop

yeah, have you ever been arrested?

not lately

bloody hell

why don't you get up Mr. Richfield?

you don't have to do this

that's what they always say

I'm going to keep you locked so you can't get married

get the fuck off me. take these off. now!

why would you say that?

well ,are you getting married to prove a point? do you even love her?

yes, I love Sharon. I can't believe I'm even discussing this with you.

all my life people thought I was gay

even my own father.

well I'm not, I'm getting married for Christ sake!

This is absurd! I can't believe I even came here

is it absurd that I felt something in the desert?

or maybe that you felt something too

this shit isn't me, Mark. this, this is me. Mark...

wake up , because it's not absurd. it's the truth.

why don't you just get it over and come out of the closet?

and you Steve? what about you?

are you OK?

Sharon is infuriated with me, she left me three messages and Jack two

hello Charlie

you two look like you just climbed out of the sack

you're mistaken, I'm engaged to be married

sure, listen, personally I don't give a shit. this is LA.

I don't know how it is in England but out here nobody cares who you fuck.

it's funny watching you two pretend like nothings going on.

but it won't be funny at your wedding.

I can explain

where the hell were you last night?

at Steve Miller's

the cop?

ex cop

cop? what cop?

the man we had lunch with the other day. we got a new account together

we have a deadline. I'm sorry I fell asleep

you fell asleep with Steve Miller?

I feel asleep on the couch

I did not know what's going on with you, but let me tell you, you will not humiliate me.

we are getting married in a week

at the club

yes Sharon of course we're getting married next week

at the club

hey dad, how's it going?

it's going I suppose you want the dark meat

hey you look good son

let's grab you a beer

just ignore him, he's just an old retired cop

he didn't retire Laura, he get fired for pointing a gun at me

I remember Steven. I do but we're just trying to move on. you know. you're here aren't you?

I don't know why. he'll never change and I'll never forgive him. I'm just here for you.

Thanks. have you heard from Sonya?

yeah, we talk but we're just friends

I'm sorry Steve

don't be sorry, it's for the best, we were too different

and actually I think I'm in love with someone else

really? who is she?

well she is a he Laura, I'm in love with a man

what??

I know , at first I thought it was just sexual but he's amazing

maybe you're just confused

I'm not confused, I've never been so sure about anything

I just mean , first Sonya and now a guy?

I wasn't confused about Sonya and I'm not confused about Mark either

I love who I love

does he love you?

I think so, but he's engaged to be married to a woman

Steve..

I know, I know..

but we have something, I'm crazy about him

do you want your chicken or not?

I think you just want a hot dog

Mark, I've been calling you all weekend. what's going on

are you ready? I have also updated the contract renewals as well. 25%

going in without me

without you? no

you got everything under control,you don't need me

Steve, this is your account, our account

Richfield, you ignored me all weekend.

I'm gonna go in there but after this you're on your own.

you can have the fucking account

With our competence of campaigning and your new logo

we feel we can push Foist parts farther than they ever gone before. Global. Foist going green.

that was great. this is exciting stuff. Steve, you're kind of quiet. anything you would like to add?

no Sir, Mr.Foist. Mark here has said it all

well I like it. when do we get started?

please stop touching me

what? I'm living in the moment, that went well

have you called off the wedding yet?

it's not like that, it's my responsibility, it's my duty

are you serious? just drive me back to the office. otherwise I'll get a cab

no...stop! I'll drive you back

Steve, how did it go? where's Richfield?

he's on his way back now with the contracts.

We signed a spectacular deal. you're going to be very pleased

excellent

on that note Harold, I need a week

you're OK?

yeah, I'm fine. I'm just tired. The lawyers still need to go over everything with the contract

so there really not much I can do right now.

yeah, OK Richfield can cover for you. you cover for him when he goes on his honeymoon. Have a good week

hey Mark

Kevin

is it your the bachelor party tonight?

no, no bachelor party for me. I think that's American tradition

your loss. This is your last chance of freedom

how did you find me?

North Malibu. where you can see the stars at night.

Look Steven I know you want to be alone

I needed to find you, I can't stop thinking about you

what are you doing here? getting married tomorrow

I know, but I needed

what? you needed what?

you're just lost. you don't know what you need

I need you. I need you , my lover

for what? so I can watch you and Sharon have a life together?

so you can turn me into another Jack?

I know, I'm so sorry,I would just ...

I would lose everything Steve, I would lose everything

you know I love you man, I love you, I love you.

I love you too

I can't . I can't...I can't.. I can not do this.

Mark.... Mark!!

hey Stevo I thought you were out of town

yeah I just got back. catching up on a few things so there's less bullshit next week

no thanks man um you better count me out for this one.

I can't . the last time we saw each other. he was...

Steven, you're the one who told me

black or white, man or woman

you just love who you love

go get him

but

but nothing, if you think he loves you even a tents as much as you love him.

there is only one thing to do

I have the ring, you have your boutonni�re, I think that's everything.

are you OK? it's normal to be nervous. don't worry

I need a drink

just pour it!

are you sure you want to go through with this?

no I'm not bloody sure

then don't. don't do it Mark. it's that guy isn't it?

what?

the guy, the guy you work with

Steve...

I have to go through with it. after all the planning and the expense.

making sure and wait until I was ready. a fortune on the reception.

I have to go through with it.

Mark, you know I I've always loved you. I want what's best for you

and I love Sharon but it's a commitment. a marriage.

I'm just saying if it's not her, it's not me, maybe it's Steve...

as this time grew I learned to love you and cherish you

Mark!

I'm so sorry Sharon,

I should call this wedding off.

months ago.

I just didn't have the courage.

but I do now.

I'm so sorry

but I know in my heart it's the right thing to do.
