You got to free up some cash.
You got to spend money to make money.

:05:03
- Right?
- Exactly.

:05:06
Like the time that MrFlournoy
Used the company MasterCard
To pay for that hooker.

:05:10
and she used the card numbers
and stayed at the St. Regis for,
what was it, three months?

:05:14
- That's unsubstantiated gossip.
- That's $50,000.
That's somebody's salary.

:05:18
That's somebody who's going
to get fired because Craig
has to pay women to fuck him!

:05:21
Jesus!
:05:23
I mean, calm down.
Nobody's getting fired yet.

:05:26
- [ Scoffs ]
- That's why we're having everyone...

:05:29
write out a job description mapping
out in detail how they contribute.

:05:33
That way management
can assess who's valuable--

:05:37
And who's expendable.
:05:39
It's just business.
:05:42
I've been writing
for this magazine for 14 years.

:05:45
- You've been here how long?
A whole month?
- I'm one of the good guys, Les.

:05:49
I'm trying to level with you.
:05:52
This is your one chance
to save your job.

:05:57
[Carolyn] There is no decision.
You just write the damn thing.

:06:00
- [ Lester ] You don't think
it's weird and kind of fascist?
- Possibly.

:06:03
- But you don't want to be unemployed.
- All right.

:06:05
Let's just all sell our souls
and work for Satan 'cause
it's more convenient that way.

:06:07
Oh, could you be a little bit
more dramatic, please, huh?

:06:10
So, we finally
got new neighbors.

:06:13
You know. If the Lomans
Had let me represent them
Instead of the Real Estate King.

:06:17
that house would never
have sat on the market for six months.

:06:20
Well, they were still mad at you
for cutting down their sycamore.

:06:22
Their sycamore?
Come on.

:06:25
A substantial portion of the root
structure was on our property.

:06:28
You know that.
How can you call it their sycamore?

:06:30
I wouldn't have the heart to just cut
down something if it wasn't partially
mine, which, of course, it was.

:06:35
......[Stereo: Instrumental]
:06:38
[Woman Singing]
...Bali Ha'I...

:06:41
... They call you......
:06:44
-......[Continues. Indistinct]
- Mom, do we always have to listen
to this elevator music?

:06:50
No. No, we don't.
:06:53
And as soon you've prepared a nutritious
yet savory meal that I'm about to eat,

:06:57
you can listen
to whatever you like.
