This is the best day, the best time
and really exciting.

:12:06
Just one step away
from champion of the world.

:12:11
Yeah.
:12:12
- What about a whoop?
- A whoop?

:12:15
You know, real exciting,
then whoop, like a cheer.

:12:18
Walk toward us.
Give that a try.

:12:21
This is the best day, the best time
and really exciting.

:12:24
Just one step away
from champion of the world.

:12:30
Hey, pal, you mind stepping out
of my shot?

:12:32
Oh, this is your shot?
:12:35
- Hi.
- Low. Very low, Jackie!

:12:39
- Doug, can we take five?
- Who is this?

:12:42
l need five minutes. l'll meet you at
the dressing room. Outside the room.

:12:49
- l can explain...
- Oh, really?

:12:51
Well, go ahead. Explain.
:12:53
Explain to me how my deal
and my exclusive rights to your story

:12:57
wind up in the lap
of that idiot savant?

:12:59
He's a smart idiot, Gavin.
And it's a long story, so l...

:13:02
Let me give the abridged version.
:13:04
Once upon a time,
there was HBO!

:13:07
You know what, Jackie? For all of your
hustle and bustle and bullshit,

:13:12
the one thing that you always were
was honorable, in a very real way.

:13:16
lf you said something, you meant it.
And if you didn't say it,

:13:20
well, you meant that too.
:13:23
That's quite an attribute.
Not a lot of people have that.

:13:27
And now neither do you.
:13:34
- Wait, what is the problem?
- A little pre was the deal.

:13:37
No, pre with me. Post with Luther.
That was the deal, Doug.

:13:41
lf it was, it's not now.
:13:43
We got great stuff
with you, Jackie.

:13:45
But if we don't get Luther,
my audience won't bite.

:13:48
You become the latest waste
of tape.

:13:53
OK.
:13:55
That's nice, man.
:13:58
Hey, guys. Doug Doherty, HBO,
as if you didn't know.
