The Studio 1x10

1. Yo! Dave Franco here.

2. Hi! I'm a little fucked up

3. but I'm gonna do my best to recap the last episode

4. because a lot of shit's gone down.

5. So the gang is pumped to be in Vegas for CinemaCon,

6. which is like a big convention

7. where the studios present their movies and shit, when suddenly

8. Griffin tells Matt that Continental is gonna be bought by fucking Amazon

9. and they're gonna lose their jobs, man.

10. But if they fucking crush the presentation

11. they can stop the sale and save their jobs.

12. Matt throws a wicked party

13. where Zoë Kravitz and the gang do way too many shrooms,

14. especially Griffin who's so fucked up it's fucking scary, man.

15. So they got to sober him up before the presentation

16. but they lose his ass at the casino.

17. And if anyone finds him all fucked up,

18. especially entertainment journalist Matt Belloni,

19. they'll be fucking fucked.

20. Patty ends up finding him.

21. But she doesn't know about the sale to Amazon

22. so she calls Belloni to come see Griffin all messed up

23. so she can get revenge on him for firing her.

24. Now, listen, I gotta hit the tables and win tons of fucking money

25. 'cause I can count cards and shit from those magic movies I was in.

26. So enjoy the fucking episode! Vegas, baby!

27. Aren't we sexy?

28. - Look over here. Play to camera. - Wow.

29. - Look at you. You're kinda hot. - Hi.

30. - Patty, meet Aphrodite. Aphrodite, Patty. - Yeah.

31. Get to know each other. Maybe we could do a threesome.

32. Could do.

33. Wouldn't you like that?

34. - Foreplay! Yeah! - Foreplay. Don't forget the foreplay.

35. Hey!

36. - Patty, have you seen Griffin? - Hi.

37. Oh, my God.

38. He's fucking eating her out!

39. - Jesus! Get him out of there. - Shit!

40. No! Leave him in there!

41. - Girl, what? - Patty, are you insane?

42. We need him in there for the presentation.

43. Don't touch him! Belloni's on his way here.

44. Belloni? But I just got rid of that guy. Why is he coming here now?

45. What are you doing, Patty?

46. - Get him the fuck down from there! - Help me!

47. - Help us! - Okay. You stay dry.

48. - Fuck, Patty, why did you do this? - We don't need him.

49. Look at him. He looks like my niece at Coachella,

50. but he's the devil.

51. He fired me and he ruined my life.

52. I thought you said you were happier.

53. I am. But that doesn't mean he didn't try to ruin my life.

54. Look, Patty.

55. If Belloni sees this, we are fucked.

56. You don't understand! They are trying to sell Continental to Amazon.

57. Sell Continental?

58. Yes.

59. - To Amazon? - Yes!

60. - They're gonna MGM us? - Yes!

61. So all of Continental will become a branch of a tech company?

62. Exactly. Exactly!

63. That's why me and Griffin and everyone have been freaking out so much.

64. If this presentation doesn't go perfectly and we don't project anything

65. other than the best fathomable predictions for next year,

66. I will be the last studio head in the history of Continental.

67. I didn't know that. I wanted...

68. - Matty, I'm sorry. - It's okay.

69. I'm sorry.

70. You know I love you way more than I can ever hate Griffin.

71. You heard Matty! Get him the fuck outta there!

72. We're trying!

73. - Is he breathing? - He's kinda breathing.

74. Jesus Christ.

75. If we don't get outta this CinemaCon without killing somebody,

76. it's gonna be a fucking miracle.

77. We gotta get him back to the room and get him ready.

78. How?

79. That hotel is filled with people who want us to fucking fail.

80. What are we gonna do? Carry him around like a fucking corpse?

81. Yes! Like a corpse!

82. We Weekend at Bernie's him.

83. It's a terrible movie, but the conceit is genius.

84. - Fuck my tits. That's fire! - Yeah!

85. Wait. That actually is a really good idea.

86. You're not seriously considering

87. we puppet his limp carcass across a casino floor?

88. Time for some movie magic.

89. - Yeah. - Fuck yes.

90. Bro, you gotta walk faster.

91. I'm walking as fast as I possibly can right now.

92. Okay, I'm gonna go to his room. I'm gonna get his bag.

93. - Great. Meet us in the suite. - Yeah.

94. Oh, my God. I'm so high. I can't believe we're doing this.

95. - Party people! - Hey, Davey!

96. Hey, what's up? You-You still going strong, man?

97. - Fuck yeah, bitch! - Great!

98. I just won, like, 50K at poker.

99. I took it off these dudes who were so pissed.

100. - Awesome. Great. - That's them! These are the guys!

101. - Oh, no. - You see how sad they looked?

102. - Yeah, they looked mad. - I'm sorry.

103. - All right. I'm gonna smoke a jay... - Nice.

104. and I'll see you at the presentation.

105. Also, whoever that dude is, he looks straight-up dead!

106. Fuck!

107. - Shit! Keep going. - He keeps touching my fucking ear.

108. - Matt, Matt, Matt effing Belloni. - Oh, my God. Help us.

109. - Oh, no, no, no. - Help us, Patty. Patty, help us.

110. - Hey, guys. - Hi.

111. - Hey! - Patty, how are you?

112. Matt Belloni! Hollywood's trusted teller of truths.

113. Speaking of truths, got any news for me?

114. Got to be a back out there in need of a stabbing.

115. You're wicked.

116. No, just your average uneventful CinemaCon.

117. Yeah.

118. Actually, now that I've got you,

119. I'm hearing some rumblings about a possible sale of Continental.

120. - Seriously, you believe that? - No.

121. That's just other studios planting stories

122. to distract from Matt's forthcoming triumph.

123. - Right, Matty? - Got a big year coming up, you know.

124. That is my uncle Ronaldo Saperstein.

125. - Yeah. - He owns three theaters in Long Island.

126. And he's really drunk 'cause he lost at craps.

127. - Yeah. - I hear you, Ronaldo.

128. Blackjack cleaned me out too.

129. - Yeah. All right. - Belloni, you're number one.

130. We'll see you at the... See you later! See you in the hall.

131. Good luck with the presentation.

132. Can't wait to see what Griffin Mill does up there.

133. - He's gonna kill it! - Okay, bye.

134. What happened? He looks terrible.

135. Yeah, no fucking shit.

136. How are things going with Zoë Kravitz?

137. She's been in with hair and makeup,

138. but she's still super high and acting strangely.

139. Great. Fantastic. We gotta focus on this guy for now.

140. - Hi, sir. Can I get you water? - Hey, hey, hey.

141. - Coffee? Anything? - I sort of... I'll just...

142. - I don't know what he's saying. - He's too fucked up to make any sense.

143. Open the bathroom doors. We gotta clean him off.

144. Get him changed and shit. This guy's gotta be on stage soon.

145. He stinks, man.

146. Oh, God Almighty. Here.

147. - Get him in here. - I'll try.

148. - Here we go. - Yeah. Yeah.

149. Great. Quick. Wash him off.

150. Take... Undress him.

151. - I'm trying to. - Get him undressed.

152. - I got his bag. Here we go. - Fantastic.

153. Yo! Sal, we got his clothes.

154. You got a fresh turtleneck?

155. - Yeah, we got a... There's a... - Yeah. Got it.

156. - ... there's a fucking... What is this? - What is that?

157. - It's a dickey or some shit. - It looks like a bra.

158. - Okay. What else do we need? - Clean underwear.

159. Okay. That's debatable.

160. - Why did you smell it? - It was instinctual.

161. - Sal, are you okay in there? - No, I'm not, Patty.

162. I'm having to stuff my boss's dick inside his Speedo,

163. and it's taking forever 'cause it's freaking huge.

164. - Of course it is. - I knew he had a big dick.

165. He walks like that.

166. - He's good. We're coming. - Okay.

167. - Here he comes. - And one, two, three.

168. Clap for him.

169. Wow. Look at him.

170. Beautiful.

171. - His legs are kinda wonky. - Get him to the couch.

172. - Get him over to the couch. - Please cover his nipples.

173. Is that a waist trainer?

174. You look very good. Very good. You're a big boy.

175. I like your little strut.

176. - Get him on the couch. - There we go.

177. - Get his pants on. Pants on. - Please!

178. Yes. Okay. Tuck those nipples in. Okay.

179. Okay, you guys seem like you have this under control.

180. We're gonna go check on Zoë Kravitz in here.

181. Matty, you gotta pull the rip cord on this madness.

182. - I cannot pull the rip cord. No. - You're not putting him on stage.

183. It's too late. We announced him. We can't show signs of weakness. We can't!

184. We're doubling down.

185. I don't wanna open this door.

186. No. 'Cause look, it's... Is... Matt, is this high?

187. - What is going on in here? - She won't come down.

188. She says it's too high.

189. It's so far away. They won't show me.

190. I don't know what to tell you, Zoë. It's not that high!

191. Can you show me?

192. - Because this is crazy. - For the love of God.

193. Zoë, darling.

194. - Zo Zo, can you see this shoe? - Yes, wow. Yes.

195. Well, that nightstand is only four shoes high.

196. Four shoes high?

197. What are you even saying?

198. All right. You guys seem to have this under control.

199. I'll leave you at it.

200. Let me know when you've figured all that out.

201. Maya. Hey, what's happening?

202. You're so fucking hot right now.

203. Come on.

204. I thought you guys didn't do this shit anymore.

205. - We don't. We're not doing anything. - You perv.

206. She's off the nightstand, but now she's under the bed.

207. But they think they can finish her under there.

208. Great. Fantastic. Perfect. I'll fucking take it.

209. We got his pants on but he is passed out again.

210. - Which is bad. - Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

211. - Get that stench out. The lips— - Holy shit.

212. Oh, fuck. We gotta sober him up somehow.

213. Cocaine up his nose.

214. - Does that actually work? - It worked in the movie Flight.

215. Where Denzel Washington did all that cocaine

216. and then he testified in front of the FAA!

217. Are we gonna Flight his ass right into the presentation?

218. - This will work! - Yes!

219. Yes, whatever. Just don't Old Yeller him.

303. - Break a leg, love. - "Zoë. Break a leg, love."

304. Zoë, the press is insane. This is gonna be great.

305. You just gotta go out there and read the teleprompter

306. for 20 seconds then we're home free.

307. We don't have to do that anymore because it doesn't matter.

308. - It does very much matter. - It matters.

309. No. Nothing... It doesn't matter. We're skin sausages.

310. No, it's okay. It's okay. We're skin sausages.

311. - Zoë, do you feel okay? - Skin sausages. "You feel okay?"

312. - What is wrong with you? - "What is wrong with you?"

313. - What the fuck is going on here? - "What the fuck is going on?"

315. - She's experiencing ego death. - She's fucking what?

316. - What the fuck did you do to my client? - Okay, okay.

317. - This is gonna sound worse than it is... - "It is."

318. - ... but I accidentally drugged her. - "Drugged her."

319. - With what? - It was an old-school Hollywood buffet.

320. - Exactly. That is a thing. - That's a thing? That's not a thing.

321. - It's a thing. - Look, it's just shrooms, okay?

322. Which she's done many times.

323. - Just not this many before. - "Just shrooms."

324. - This is the final fucking straw! - Final fucking straw!

325. There's no way she's going out there high.

326. Okay, it's time to roll the Black... the Blackwing presentation.

327. - We gotta do it right now. - But put Silver Lake first.

328. - Fine. - Patty,

343. No matter how many movies you've seen, you never forget that first one, do you?

344. Oh, no. I remember mine. My first movie was...

345. well, I know it was the... it was the one that made me wanna make movies, okay?

346. I was just seven or eight,

347. and my mother was having one of her spells.

348. Wow. She could cry.

349. And my father grabbed my little brother and me and said,

350. "Let's get the hell out of this house."

351. And within an hour, we were sitting in this magic building,

352. looking up at that gigantic, gorgeous face of...

353. You know who I mean. I th... I believe it was her first movie.

354. - Mary Pickford. - What? Mary Pickford?

355. How old would that make me? I just...

385. that she does not have to do anything that she doesn't wanna do

386. and she is excited about doing this briefing.

387. - She is. You gotta show up. - You're a manipulative prick.

388. - Where is Zoë? - She's fine. She's around here somewhere.

389. - Where is she? Where the fuck is she now? - It's fine. Zoë? Zoë! Zoë?

390. - Zoë? - Holy shit.

391. She hunts vampires by night.

392. A ruthless killer with a lust for justice

393. and the CIA's most secretive and deadly weapon.

394. An assassin who works in the shadows to keep the torch of freedom lit.

395. The one thing the kings of the underworld fear most

396. is the queen of the night...

404. is the auteur-director behind Kool-Aid, Nick Stoller!

405. Hello, everyone.

406. I'm writer-director Nick Stoller...

407. Thank you, guys.

408. - I'm going pee-pee. - I'm sorry?

409. - That's fucking disgusting. - Oh, no.

410. All right. You guys got this.

411. - That's on you. - Good job.

412. All right, Mr. Mill. We are on the homestretch now.

413. All you gotta do is walk out to that stage and read that teleprompter

414. - and we are good. Okay? - I'm so ready, Matthew!

415. - Great! - Yeah, baby!

416. - Goddamn it! - Oh, no, shit!

417. My legs are assholes!

418. I'm sorry, Matthew.

419. What about more cocaine?

420. - That could help. - No!

421. Let's just wheel him out there.

422. That will pose a lot of questions we don't have the answers to.

423. Okay. I know what to do with Griffin. Okay?

424. You get on stage. I've got you.

425. - Just go out there. - Matt, you got it.

426. You got it. We'll cover you.

427. - We believe in you, Matt. Go! - Yes, we all believe in you.

428. You can do it.

429. You're a Black Jewish queen. You're Zoë Kravitz.

430. - Okay, okay. Oh, my God. - Yuck.

431. Matty, have I told you what a great studio head you've become?

432. - No. - Well, I just did.

433. - Go kill 'em. - Thank you.

434. - Thank you. - ... becomes their only hope

436. she isn't just capable of breaking through walls,

437. she can break through ceilings!

438. Great job.

439. Nick Stoller, everybody!

440. As you've just seen,

441. Continental Studios has one of the strongest slates of the entire year.

442. Between our prestige films, our newest action franchise,

443. and our family summer tentpole,

444. we have something this year in theaters for absolutely everybody.

445. Look, I know we're

446. technically here to celebrate the movies, but

447. the truth is, there is no movies without,

448. you know, the people who make them.

449. And that's why I...
