Dre: In America,
talent rises to the top.

In spite of a system
set up to keep us down,

the special ones
are undeniable.

And it doesn't take long

Then it's time for The Show.

[Elevator bell dings]

After years of hard work
and toil,

I finally got my call up

from Urban
to General Marketing.

The spot with the biggest
budgets and the broadest reach.

Finally, I've got my seat
at the table.

You're in my seat.

Oh!
My ... My bad, my bad.

Okay, there you are.

I'll just move down here
to this one ...

That's Erica's seat.

Yes, Erica.

Okay, is...

Uh, is...

Uh, is, uh, you know,
this one cool before I ...

Okay. Cool.

Alright.

My seat at the table.

♪

- Hey, Dre.
- Hey.

Good to see you
settling in.

Uh, everyone's pretty loose
about the seating

around here
except for James.

He won't share his chair
or his urine,

no matter how badly your son
needs it for his parole officer.

Everybody, uh, I'd like you
to welcome Dre Johnson.

We just promoted him
from Urban.

Hey, what's up?

"What's up?"
[Laughs]

Oh, you can take the man
out of Urban,

can't take Urban
out of the man, huh?

[Laughter]

Now, this guy's always
got a seat at the table.

Griffin Cameron-Hopkins.

He had his first national
commercial before he turned 21.

What kind of guys gets to have

national commercials
that young?

Let's just say
they don't look like me.

And they get labeled
"eccentric" instead of crazy.

Morning, Griffin.

Namaste.
[Crunching]

Everybody, I'd like
to make an announcement.

This is going to be our team

that's gonna be handling
the Hyundai IONIQ 5 account

for the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl?!

Oh, hell, yeah!

Mama, we made it!

First one, huh?

[Chuckles] Uh, no.

Please.

I'm just hyped about

the electrification
of America's roadways.

I mean, whoo!

Outstanding, Dre.
Mm.

That's the spirit.

Now, equally as important,

does anyone here have
a boat crash attorney?

Not boat-to-boat,
but boat-to-marine hospital.

Anybody?

Nobody, huh? Yeah.

I don't see it, Grandma.

You telling me this carrot

isn't the spitting image

Mm...
Mm. Mm.

Hey, what's up, guys?

Ooh!

Is that a new necklace?

Nate Capadouca
gave it to her.

He's 6'1", his parents let him
live in the guest house,

and every teacher
fears him.

Ah. He likes Diane.

That is so sweet.

- It is, isn't it?
- Uh-huh.

- Hm.
- Wait, Diane!

Why did you put that
in the trash?!

Come on, Mom, it's obvious
that it came out

of a gumball machine.
What?

My American Girl doll
had nicer jewelry than that.

That's right, never lower
your standards, baby.

Accept a cheap necklace today,
tomorrow,

he's putting your name
on a business loan

for his record label.

Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whatever happened to
"It's the thought that counts"?

You know, back when I used
to live on the commune,

if I had a crush on a boy,
I would make him a potato doll.

That way,
he knew that I liked him

and that I could keep him
alive in a famine.

See, Mom is right.

The material gift
isn't important.

And besides,
women these days,

they don't care
about diamonds ...

They want something
that comes from the heart.

- Right?
- Exactly.

What do you think of Nate?

Well, I think it's a shame
that his gift game is trash

because he's actually
kind of cute.

Baby,
find you an ugly man

who's ready to spend
the coin!

Oh, that's what
Ms. Harrelson did,

and now she doesn't have to
teach math anymore.

See, see, see?
That's what I'm talking about.

Don't listen to your grandmother
or your brother.

If you think you like Nate,

then I think you
should give him a chance.

I guess I can go on
one date.

Whoo! I love it.
You're not gonna regret it.

I have a feeling you're gonna
have a really good time,

and that he might
surprise you.

Alright, well, how about you let
Grandma give you some cash?

In case you want something more
than water with your meal.

Don't hang out with scrubs.

After years of struggling

it was finally
my time to shine.

Play ball!

We could do
a talking lemur.

I like it.
Put it on the board.

Okay, I've got something.

How about we parody the idea
of a Super Bowl ad?

The Hyundai IONIQ 5
on a bag of corn chips.

Then the IONIQ 5 as a soda can
on the beach.

And then we land
on two customers, alright,

who are checking
their charging SUV

as they stand in line ...
and get this ...

at an action film starring
the Hyundai IONIQ 5.

And the tagline says,
"It's Electric."

Boom.

Anybody got
anything else?

Strike!

Eh.

What about a pair
of friends planning

to take a trip
in their new SUV?

[Gasps] Board it.

Board that?

Uh, okay, alright, guys,
uh, you know what,

maybe I didn't
explain it quite right ...

No, we heard.
Parody ad.

[Ball thuds in glove]
Strike two!

What else
are we thinking?

Griffin: The ad...

...should be nothing more
than a single plant

just pushing its way
through the concrete.

Then, as time passes,

more plants push their way
through the concrete

until you can't even see
the concrete.

Just...a lush,
verdant landscape.

Wow.

Inspired.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

And the voiceover says,
"Regenerate with Hyundai."

A little on the nose.

Strike three!

My first at bat went worse

than 50 Cent's first pitch.

Aaah! Oh, God!

Mm-hmm.
Alright.

How did the rest

Well, um, he paid,

or a really good friend.

I remember the guy
that I was closest to

back when
I was in med school.

We went on
a couple of dates,

and it didn't work out
romantically,

but he ended up being
one of my closest friends.

Does Dad know
you're friends with a man?

That's not the point.

The point is that you don't know
how this is gonna go, honey.

Unless you give
Nate a second chance.

Yeah, okay.
Right?

I guess I can give him
one more shot.

That's what
- I'm talkin' about!
- Yeah.

Ruby: Well, suit yourself.

Just don't let him take you
on a picnic, okay?

What's wrong with a picnic?

Nothing says "broke man that
you need to leave right away"

like someone
asking you to eat

cold supermarket food
on a blanket!

I got to go
cancel something.

Oh, my God.

I think picnics are lovely.

Things hadn't gone

I needed to tend to my wounds
and heal my bruised ego.

But you get to look at Rainbow

so I don't know
what the big deal is.

Get over it.

Not my mug.

I'm talking about
I've lost it...

my ability
to do this job.

- Oh.
- Some pretty boy upstairs is showing me up

because my creativity
is gone.

Oh, Dre, you're just hitting
a creative block.

It happens to us
all the time.

Same thing happened
to my band.

You remember last year
when I pitched

that Homestead Mayo spot
where it's actually

just a bunch of kids swimming
in a pool full of mayonnaise?

That was terrible.

It was a logistical
and sanitary nightmare,

is what
the client called it.

But it was the best
that I could do in my slump.

No one's gonna ask
about my band?

How do you guys
get out of them?

Bow had been the biggest
supporter of Diane

giving humble Nate a chance,
and then this happened.

Are you sure it's a fake,

It had a "Made in China" tag,
and there was a note inside

describing the factory conditions.

Oh! Unh-unh!

I want to give him a shot,
but it's really hard

when his gift
is a human rights violation.
