1
00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:05,088
- Hey, Jack, the vending
machine's broken.
2
00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:07,275
- I know... I broke it. I
needed to speak with you,
3
00:00:07,299 --> 00:00:09,459
and I knew that was the
fastest way to get you up here.
4
00:00:09,676 --> 00:00:12,262
- You bastard! I trusted you!
5
00:00:12,554 --> 00:00:14,932
- Lemon... lemon!
6
00:00:15,224 --> 00:00:16,975
Is there any news about Tracy?
7
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:18,685
- As of this
morning, he was still
8
00:00:18,977 --> 00:00:20,395
saving lives in Africa.
9
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:22,773
- I'm doing god's
work here in Africa.
10
00:00:23,065 --> 00:00:24,065
Why, just yesterday,
11
00:00:24,233 --> 00:00:25,873
I kicked two naked
people out of a garden.
12
00:00:25,984 --> 00:00:28,570
- But Tracy, we need you here.
- Simba Rafiki!
13
00:00:28,862 --> 00:00:30,422
Click, click, click.
Yeah, that's right.
14
00:00:30,656 --> 00:00:32,741
I just put you in
your place in African.
15
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:35,536
- TGS with Tracy Jordan
without Tracy Jordan
16
00:00:35,827 --> 00:00:37,955
is an oxymoron... Like
"liberal government"
17
00:00:38,247 --> 00:00:39,247
or "female scientist."
18
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:40,666
- Or "Princeton football."
19
00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:43,252
- We were 4 and 3 in
Ivy league play last year.
20
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:45,462
Our quarterback, Henry Chang...
21
00:00:45,754 --> 00:00:47,005
It doesn't matter. The point is
22
00:00:47,297 --> 00:00:50,092
that without Tracy,
TGS is going on...
23
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:51,885
A forced hiatus.
24
00:00:52,177 --> 00:00:53,971
- Forced hiatus? Okay.
25
00:00:54,263 --> 00:00:56,348
So what should
I tell the troops?
26
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,517
- It's simple. Sit them
down individually.
27
00:00:58,809 --> 00:01:00,727
Tell them the network
still supports the show
28
00:01:01,019 --> 00:01:02,145
and that this is temporary.
29
00:01:02,437 --> 00:01:03,981
- But you're lookin'
out for us, right?
30
00:01:04,273 --> 00:01:06,066
Pounding on desks and...
31
00:01:06,358 --> 00:01:07,544
Doing whatever this is called.
32
00:01:07,568 --> 00:01:09,653
- Power wagging. And
I'm doing what I can.
33
00:01:09,945 --> 00:01:11,655
But I spent a lot
of political capital
34
00:01:11,947 --> 00:01:13,307
buying a new
network for Kabletown.
35
00:01:13,574 --> 00:01:14,884
- Is it TNT? Are
Rizzoli and Isles
36
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:15,534
friends in real life?
37
00:01:15,826 --> 00:01:17,494
- It's a small cable network
38
00:01:17,786 --> 00:01:19,454
targeted towards
gay male viewers.
39
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:21,290
It's called twinks.
40
00:01:21,582 --> 00:01:22,725
- That's the name
of your network?
41
00:01:22,749 --> 00:01:23,834
Isn't twink a term
42
00:01:24,126 --> 00:01:25,419
for a young, hairless gay man?
43
00:01:25,711 --> 00:01:27,254
- Nonsense. Twinks is an acronym
44
00:01:27,546 --> 00:01:29,590
designed to project
a positive gay image.
45
00:01:29,881 --> 00:01:32,092
"Twinks... television
with individuals...
46
00:01:32,384 --> 00:01:34,219
"Naive, kinky, shaved." Okay.
47
00:01:34,511 --> 00:01:37,347
If the network were
thriving, it would be one thing.
48
00:01:37,639 --> 00:01:40,142
But my programming
has yet to find its footing.
49
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:41,143
- Uck. No!
50
00:01:41,435 --> 00:01:42,144
Next!
51
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:44,438
Boring! Who?
52
00:01:44,730 --> 00:01:47,107
- Twinks could be
extremely lucrative.
53
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:49,067
Advertisers covet
this demographic.
54
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:51,403
When I was with D'Fwan
on queen of Jordan,
55
00:01:51,695 --> 00:01:54,573
he spent $4,000
on chihuahua outfits
56
00:01:54,865 --> 00:01:56,450
For himself.
57
00:01:56,742 --> 00:01:58,785
- Okay, well, don't
worry about TGS.
58
00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:01,204
I'll take care of this
hiatus thing myself.
59
00:02:01,496 --> 00:02:03,415
- Thank you, Lemon.
I'd like to help.
60
00:02:03,707 --> 00:02:05,751
But I'm afraid my
hands are tied...
61
00:02:06,043 --> 00:02:09,004
Is the only show anyone's
watching on twinks.
62
00:02:11,465 --> 00:02:19,306
♪ ♪
63
00:02:29,941 --> 00:02:32,653
- The important thing is this
forced hiatus is only temporary.
64
00:02:32,944 --> 00:02:33,445
We'll be back
before you know it.
65
00:02:33,737 --> 00:02:35,864
- Sidney, it's
Frank. TGS is dead.
66
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:37,866
Start booking me stand-up gigs.
67
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:40,398
How many black women's
colleges are there in the country?
68
00:02:40,661 --> 00:02:41,971
- What are you doing?
- You just said
69
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:43,235
we're going on a forced hiatus.
70
00:02:43,497 --> 00:02:45,540
I know what that
means... Time for plan "b".
71
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:47,376
Harriet tubman
school of nursing?
72
00:02:47,668 --> 00:02:49,544
Yes and yes!
73
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:52,464
- Well, good thing I kept
my teaching certificate
74
00:02:52,756 --> 00:02:53,465
so I can still sub.
Last time I taught,
75
00:02:53,757 --> 00:02:56,301
I was like Robin Williams
in dead poets society..
76
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:57,695
By which I mean I got fired.
- No, Pete.
77
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:03,392
This is only temporary.
78
00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:05,519
- Thanks for telling me, Liz.
79
00:03:05,811 --> 00:03:07,688
We'll get through this.
- Oh, thank you!
80
00:03:07,979 --> 00:03:09,815
Finally, someone
with some faith!
81
00:03:10,107 --> 00:03:10,774
- No.
82
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:14,069
I meant my jennababies
and I will get through this.
83
00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:16,279
I've been selling
these on QVC for years.
84
00:03:16,571 --> 00:03:17,571
It's my plan "b".
85
00:03:17,614 --> 00:03:19,241
This is Asian jennababy.
86
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:20,802
Excuse me, G.I.,
87
00:03:20,826 --> 00:03:21,886
do you miss your girlfriend?
88
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:22,619
I'm good at math.
89
00:03:22,911 --> 00:03:25,706
So it's not offensive.
90
00:03:25,997 --> 00:03:28,117
- Where you going... it's
just until Tracy comes back.
91
00:03:28,291 --> 00:03:29,977
- I'm going back to the
job I had in Holland...
92
00:03:30,001 --> 00:03:31,044
Police psychic.
93
00:03:31,336 --> 00:03:33,505
A Dutch TV show is based on me.
94
00:03:47,853 --> 00:03:49,271
- Come on, Sue.
95
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:50,998
You can't just leave
me here with Toofer.
96
00:03:51,022 --> 00:03:52,858
- Actually, I'm off, Liz.
97
00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:54,460
With my degree, I
can always go into
98
00:03:54,484 --> 00:03:57,446
architecture or medical
nanotechnology...
99
00:03:57,738 --> 00:03:58,881
- wait. What did you major in?
100
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:00,025
- Sorry. I don't understand.
101
00:04:00,157 --> 00:04:01,575
Oh... I see.
102
00:04:01,867 --> 00:04:04,077
At Harvard, we call
them concentrations.
103
00:04:04,369 --> 00:04:06,329
Ugh!
104
00:04:06,621 --> 00:04:07,621
You're my last hope.
105
00:04:07,706 --> 00:04:10,417
Please tell me you
know this is temporary.
106
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:11,918
- Of course it is.
107
00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:14,463
'Cause I'm gonna find
a way to save the show.
108
00:04:14,755 --> 00:04:17,215
Let me just take
out my idea journal.
109
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:18,507
Hmm.
110
00:04:18,633 --> 00:04:22,512
This just says bird Internet.
111
00:04:24,306 --> 00:04:25,557
- He said forced hiatus?
112
00:04:25,849 --> 00:04:27,392
Oh, man.
113
00:04:27,684 --> 00:04:29,227
That's bad.
- Simon, you're my agent.
114
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:31,581
You're not supposed to panic.
You're supposed to help me.
115
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:33,815
- Like how Fredward
helps out iCarly
116
00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:35,787
- no! Listen, everyone
here has a plan "b".
117
00:04:36,026 --> 00:04:37,906
If there's a real chance
that TGS could go away,
118
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:39,279
what is my backup?
119
00:04:39,571 --> 00:04:41,448
- Maybe something with vampires.
120
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:43,009
'Cause everything has
vampires nowadays.
121
00:04:43,033 --> 00:04:44,969
Have you seen the twilight
movies or vampires diaries?
122
00:04:44,993 --> 00:04:46,161
I'm not allowed to.
123
00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:47,764
- You need to get
me some meetings.
124
00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:50,248
- Would you be
willing to come in
125
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:52,000
for an Alpo commercial?
126
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:53,895
If you can get through the
audition without pooping,
127
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:55,420
it's yours.
128
00:04:55,712 --> 00:04:59,007
- I'm a human writer,
Simon. Find me a writing job.
129
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:01,551
- So, Jack, how's the baby?
130
00:05:01,843 --> 00:05:02,886
- Baby... Ah, yes!
131
00:05:03,178 --> 00:05:06,306
Baby... Black-Asian
bisexual youths.
132
00:05:06,598 --> 00:05:07,638
Those are viewers we want,
133
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:09,518
and twinks is
gonna bring them in.
134
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:11,269
- It's not a business
question, Jack.
135
00:05:11,561 --> 00:05:12,646
I mean your baby.
136
00:05:12,938 --> 00:05:14,439
- Your daughter.
- Oh!
137
00:05:14,731 --> 00:05:17,442
Of course, uh,
Liddy, she is adorable.
138
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:19,611
My night nurse swears
she calls me koskel,
139
00:05:19,903 --> 00:05:23,365
which in Trinidadian
creole means stranger.
140
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:25,097
- Don't let work be
everything, Jack.
141
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,160
Family's just as important
142
00:05:27,452 --> 00:05:29,252
as fixing that fellas
that like fellas network
143
00:05:29,287 --> 00:05:30,497
you talked me into buying.
144
00:05:30,789 --> 00:05:32,029
- I'm on top of that.
- Are you?
145
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:34,376
Jack, there's lots
of things I like...
146
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:37,212
Fishing, marches
by John Philip sousa,
147
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:38,964
telephones that
look like footballs.
148
00:05:39,256 --> 00:05:40,715
But there's one
thing I don't like...
149
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:41,633
Losing money.
150
00:05:41,925 --> 00:05:43,760
Now, I don't know if
my tone is conveying
151
00:05:44,052 --> 00:05:45,303
the fury I feel about this,
152
00:05:45,595 --> 00:05:47,347
but I am, pardon my French,
153
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:49,224
bonjour!
154
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:55,313
Now, that's a joke, but
I am really, really mad.
155
00:05:55,605 --> 00:05:58,400
- Look, Hank, I'm already
working on fixing twinks.
156
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:01,403
I'm remaking Knight Rider with
the Oscar Meyer wienermobile.
157
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:02,904
- It's okay, Jack.
158
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:04,916
You made a bad decision
and bought something
159
00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:06,157
you didn't understand,
160
00:06:06,449 --> 00:06:08,326
like when I bought
tickets for black swan.
161
00:06:08,618 --> 00:06:10,578
Remember when a movie
was just a fellow with a hat
162
00:06:10,704 --> 00:06:12,622
runnin' away from a
fellow with no hair?
163
00:06:12,914 --> 00:06:14,958
- No.
- The point is...
164
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:16,250
You failed.
165
00:06:16,418 --> 00:06:18,795
But unless there's
a gay Jack Donaghy
166
00:06:19,087 --> 00:06:21,715
locked up somewhere who
understands all this stuff,
167
00:06:22,007 --> 00:06:25,468
let's just chalk this
one up to never again...
168
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,470
And enjoy our lunch.
169
00:06:27,762 --> 00:06:29,806
- Hank...
170
00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:32,559
There is a gay Jack Donaghy.
171
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:35,645
His name is Devin Banks.
172
00:06:35,937 --> 00:06:37,647
Man: Are you okay?
173
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:39,649
- I sense something...
174
00:06:39,941 --> 00:06:42,944
A presence I've
not felt since...
175
00:06:48,867 --> 00:06:51,912
- Lemon. I've decided to hire...
176
00:06:52,203 --> 00:06:54,706
Devin Banks.
- Banks? But he's your Nemesis.
177
00:06:54,998 --> 00:06:56,183
That would be like
me hiring that mouse
178
00:06:56,207 --> 00:06:57,959
that keeps pooping
in my slippers.
179
00:06:58,251 --> 00:06:59,920
- Devin is the perfect
man to fix twinks.
180
00:07:00,211 --> 00:07:02,023
He's a gay shark, like
the actor who played jaws.
181
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:04,025
- But he's gonna come in
and try to ruin everything,
182
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:05,717
and everything is
already ruining itself.
183
00:07:06,009 --> 00:07:06,718
- Not this time.
184
00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:09,930
Banks put all of his eggs
in the Obama basket.
185
00:07:10,221 --> 00:07:11,821
When the administration
started to falter
186
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:13,934
because of our conspiracy...
187
00:07:14,225 --> 00:07:16,061
I mean, Obama's ineptitude,
188
00:07:16,353 --> 00:07:18,897
he tried to distance
himself publicly from, uh,
189
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:20,941
your president.
190
00:07:21,232 --> 00:07:22,592
- The recession
we're emerging from
191
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:24,736
was primarily caused
by lack of responsibility
192
00:07:25,028 --> 00:07:26,071
and accountability.
193
00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:28,073
Then he tried to
rejoin us capitalists,
194
00:07:28,365 --> 00:07:31,284
showed up at John Paulson's
sweet 16 billion party.
195
00:07:31,576 --> 00:07:33,536
Nobody would talk
to him. Not even Ira.
196
00:07:33,828 --> 00:07:35,598
Then he was all, "oh, I'll
just look at these books,"
197
00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:37,102
then pretended to
get a text and left,
198
00:07:37,207 --> 00:07:39,292
and we were all like
"whatever. We'll go to IHOP.
199
00:07:39,584 --> 00:07:40,704
And not tell him."
200
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:42,313
- Where is he now?
- I tracked him down
201
00:07:42,337 --> 00:07:43,588
to an address in Brooklyn.
202
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,423
He's on Linkedln, Lemon.
203
00:07:45,715 --> 00:07:47,801
He might as well be dead!
204
00:07:48,093 --> 00:07:49,133
So I throw him a lifeline,
205
00:07:49,344 --> 00:07:52,472
and he comes crawling
back like a, uh...
206
00:07:52,764 --> 00:07:54,140
Crab, I guess.
207
00:07:54,432 --> 00:07:55,432
What else crawls, Lemon?
208
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:57,519
- Babies, Jack. You have one.
209
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,145
- Hank Hooper
is a traditionalist.
210
00:07:59,437 --> 00:08:00,647
He had his first heart attack
211
00:08:00,939 --> 00:08:02,219
when he saw
pineapple on a pizza.
212
00:08:02,357 --> 00:08:05,193
He'll hate Banks and
his hairless nostrils.
213
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:07,320
And men should have nose hairs.
214
00:08:07,612 --> 00:08:08,612
- Hooper will hate Devin,
215
00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:10,383
and he'll never be able
to go over your head.
216
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:12,450
- Exactly. I'll pay him
for his ideas and, uh,
217
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:14,119
kick him out the door.
218
00:08:14,411 --> 00:08:15,745
- Speaking of TV ideas,
219
00:08:16,037 --> 00:08:18,081
would you buy a show
about a girl television writer
220
00:08:18,373 --> 00:08:20,959
trying to have
it all in the city
221
00:08:21,251 --> 00:08:23,294
and... also, she's
a vampire, I guess?
222
00:08:23,586 --> 00:08:24,586
- I like the end part.
223
00:08:24,754 --> 00:08:26,273
Lemon, why do you
have a blank note pad
224
00:08:26,297 --> 00:08:27,465
with "plan b" written on it?
225
00:08:27,757 --> 00:08:28,842
- Because I'm freaking out.
226
00:08:29,134 --> 00:08:31,177
I told everyone about
the forced hiatus...
227
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,929
- wait. You said
"forced hiatus"?
228
00:08:33,221 --> 00:08:35,849
- Yeah. I didn't know it
was code for canceled.
229
00:08:36,141 --> 00:08:37,493
- I thought we
understood each other.
230
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:38,517
- I thought we understood
231
00:08:38,643 --> 00:08:40,854
that you are never to think
that I understand anything!
232
00:08:41,146 --> 00:08:42,226
- And you have no plan "b"?
233
00:08:42,272 --> 00:08:44,272
I've been telling you to
prepare for the end of TGS
234
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:46,443
for the last two years.
235
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:48,337
- Well, there have been a lot
of amazing races on since then,
236
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:50,423
and I had to watch them and
go online and comment on them.
237
00:08:50,447 --> 00:08:52,207
- Here are your options...
You can go to L.A.
238
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:53,825
I've been to L.A. once.
239
00:08:54,117 --> 00:08:55,785
Olive just turns into barham?
240
00:08:56,077 --> 00:08:58,204
- Justice for Rodney King!
- How do I get to 10?
241
00:08:58,496 --> 00:09:00,498
It's the 10!
242
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:02,000
- Rodney King!
243
00:09:02,292 --> 00:09:02,917
- You can't afford
to be selective.
244
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:05,670
Opportunities for writers are
fewer and farther between.
245
00:09:05,962 --> 00:09:07,881
- What about opportunities
for storytellers?
246
00:09:08,173 --> 00:09:10,359
Beginning with the cave
paintings of lascaux, mankind...
247
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:12,802
- I can get you a meeting with
Nick Lachey for the sing-off.
248
00:09:13,094 --> 00:09:14,304
- I'll take it!
249
00:09:17,265 --> 00:09:18,808
- You here for the sing-off gig?
250
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:20,351
- Yeah.
251
00:09:20,643 --> 00:09:21,643
Do I know you?
252
00:09:21,728 --> 00:09:23,897
- You know my
work. Walk with me.
253
00:09:24,189 --> 00:09:26,399
I'm Aaron Sorkin. The
west wing, a few good men,
254
00:09:26,691 --> 00:09:27,691
social network.
255
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:29,069
- Studio 60?
- Shut up.
256
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,360
Do you know Nick Lachey?
257
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:31,112
I hear he doesn't even
let you sit in the meeting.
258
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:32,590
He just screams at you
to see how you react.
259
00:09:32,614 --> 00:09:35,033
- Wait, you're not really
applying for this job, are you?
260
00:09:35,325 --> 00:09:37,386
- Of course I am. You gotta
take work where you can find it.
261
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:39,120
Especially now.
Our craft is dying
262
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:40,765
while people are
playing angry birds
263
00:09:40,789 --> 00:09:42,165
and poking each
other on Facebook.
264
00:09:42,457 --> 00:09:44,185
What is poking, anyway?
Why won't anybody do it to me?
265
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:45,209
I'm cool!
266
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:46,771
- So it's really
that bad out there.
267
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:48,671
I mean, you're Aaron Sorkin.
268
00:09:48,963 --> 00:09:51,424
Speaking of angry birds, do
you know how to beat 11 -4?
269
00:09:51,716 --> 00:09:52,300
It's just a red guy
and a green guy.
270
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:55,136
- The key is do not use the
green guy as a boomerang.
271
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:57,268
- Did we just go in a circle?
- Listen, lady...
272
00:09:57,472 --> 00:09:59,700
A gender I write extremely
well if the story calls for it...
273
00:09:59,724 --> 00:10:00,724
This is serious!
274
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:01,518
We make horse buggies
275
00:10:01,810 --> 00:10:03,770
and the first model t
just rolled into town.
276
00:10:04,062 --> 00:10:05,915
- We're dinosaurs.
- We don't need two metaphors.
277
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:07,982
That's bad writing.
Not that it matters.
278
00:10:08,274 --> 00:10:11,903
- Mr. Sorkin, Mr. Lachey
will see you now.
279
00:10:12,654 --> 00:10:14,072
- Mr. Lachey, huge fan.
280
00:10:14,364 --> 00:10:16,199
Huge fan. I have
all your albums.
281
00:10:19,577 --> 00:10:22,038
- Oh. You'll be proud
of me, miss Lemon.
282
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:24,999
It is not easy coming up
with ideas to save the show.
283
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:27,085
But this morning,
I held up this sign
284
00:10:27,377 --> 00:10:29,671
in the today show window.
285
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:32,048
Now, I'm just waitin'
for the phone to ring.
286
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:35,093
- Kenneth, you may not
be able to save the show.
287
00:10:35,385 --> 00:10:36,487
- If you wanna save
this dumb show,
288
00:10:36,511 --> 00:10:38,471
you gotta get the fans involved.
289
00:10:38,763 --> 00:10:40,883
You know, like sometimes
people mail stuff to networks
290
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:42,326
to show how passionate they are.
291
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:45,562
They sent light bulbs to
save Friday night lights,
292
00:10:45,854 --> 00:10:47,272
hot sauce to save roswell,
293
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:49,524
and douche bags
to save entourage.
294
00:10:49,816 --> 00:10:51,943
- Okay. So we just need
to think of something
295
00:10:52,235 --> 00:10:56,281
that fans can send to
Hank Hooper that says TGS.
296
00:10:56,573 --> 00:10:58,491
Something like...
297
00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:02,662
Bird Internet!
298
00:11:04,581 --> 00:11:06,666
It's about time, cashmere.
299
00:11:06,958 --> 00:11:09,019
Did you find Chana's boppy?
300
00:11:09,043 --> 00:11:11,588
Was it at... Music adventures?
301
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,966
- Banks... What's become of you?
302
00:11:15,258 --> 00:11:16,426
- Nothing!
303
00:11:18,428 --> 00:11:22,223
These aren't babies.
They're organ farms.
304
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:24,017
Don't... look at me!
305
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:25,309
Devin...
306
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:27,353
Explain the gaybies.
307
00:11:27,645 --> 00:11:30,106
- I'm a househusband now. Happy?
308
00:11:30,398 --> 00:11:32,198
I married a shiny black
dancer named cashmere,
309
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,026
and we mixed our sperm together
310
00:11:33,318 --> 00:11:37,155
so no one would know
whose baby is whose.
311
00:11:37,447 --> 00:11:40,950
Now... have you had your
fun looking at the freak?
312
00:11:41,242 --> 00:11:42,702
- I'm here to offer
an olive branch.
313
00:11:42,994 --> 00:11:44,234
I'm working with Kabletown now,
314
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:46,050
and we've acquired a
network called twinks.
315
00:11:46,331 --> 00:11:48,791
I could use someone on
it full-time, a subordinate.
316
00:11:52,045 --> 00:11:55,131
You came all the way
out here to Brooklyn
317
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:57,926
to offer me, Banks, a job?
318
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:00,678
You must be desperate, Jack.
319
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:04,057
Twinks must be exploding,
and not in a good way.
320
00:12:04,349 --> 00:12:05,949
You thought that I
would lick your boots,
321
00:12:06,184 --> 00:12:07,184
but you need me.
322
00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:10,480
So now I'm gonna make
you let me lick your boots.
323
00:12:10,772 --> 00:12:12,041
- I'll keep you on
a very tight leash.
324
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:13,425
- Fantastic. Continue.
- I will not
325
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:15,085
gay set you up again,
so I'll be very clear.
326
00:12:15,109 --> 00:12:16,194
You'll be under me,
327
00:12:16,486 --> 00:12:19,781
and if there's one
slip-up, your ass is mine.
328
00:12:20,073 --> 00:12:22,784
- You couldn't resist coming
to see how far I'd fallen.
329
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:24,244
But that was your mistake.
330
00:12:24,535 --> 00:12:27,455
Down came the rain and
washed the spider out.
331
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:29,267
- No. You are the
spider. I am the sun.
332
00:12:29,457 --> 00:12:30,541
I dry up all the rain.
333
00:12:30,833 --> 00:12:33,103
- Yes! Freeing me, the spider,
to climb up the spout again!
334
00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:35,546
You bastard.
335
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:41,010
- Now... Who wants
some num-nums?
336
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:46,099
- Hey, Simon. What's up?
337
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:49,936
Any word from the sing-off?
338
00:12:50,228 --> 00:12:51,228
- It's a pass.
339
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:53,898
But Lachey hated you.
340
00:12:54,190 --> 00:12:55,984
- So what now?
- You're fired.
341
00:12:56,276 --> 00:12:57,986
- What?
- You're fired.
342
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:00,363
- Are you dropping
me as a client?
343
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:02,073
What am I gonna do?
344
00:13:02,365 --> 00:13:04,867
Jack can't help me. You
don't want me as a client.
345
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:06,703
I have no other skills.
346
00:13:06,995 --> 00:13:09,289
- Liz, I'm gonna tell you
what I tell my dog clients
347
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:10,820
when I drop them... Chuh, chuh!
348
00:13:10,957 --> 00:13:11,624
Chuh, chuh, chuh!
349
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:13,042
- Simon...
- Chuh!
350
00:13:13,334 --> 00:13:15,545
Chuh, chuh.
351
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:22,802
- Jack. We've been
waiting almost an hour
352
00:13:23,094 --> 00:13:24,637
for this Banks fellow.
353
00:13:24,929 --> 00:13:26,389
The only explanation
I can think of
354
00:13:26,681 --> 00:13:28,561
is that he keeps stopping
to perform good deeds.
355
00:13:28,599 --> 00:13:30,577
- No, he's pulling a power
play, right out of the gate.
356
00:13:30,601 --> 00:13:31,853
He's making us wait
357
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:34,355
so it looks like I have
no authority over him.
358
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:36,375
Well, I'm a straight
shooter, Jack.
359
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:38,199
Except at the urinal,
but that's just a little
360
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:39,986
shrapnel side
effect from Vietnam.
361
00:13:40,278 --> 00:13:41,612
So when it comes to business...
362
00:13:41,904 --> 00:13:44,699
I don't like these
kinds of games.
363
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:47,744
Boy, I hope my tone is
conveying how annoyed I am.
364
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:49,636
- You should be
annoyed, Hank, of course.
365
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:51,289
Devin's crude
attempts at manipulation
366
00:13:51,581 --> 00:13:53,333
don't work with a man like you.
367
00:13:53,624 --> 00:13:55,504
Banks is not a straight
shooter like you and me.
368
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:57,295
For now... We need him.
369
00:13:57,587 --> 00:13:59,107
But as soon as he
stops being useful...
370
00:13:59,255 --> 00:14:00,340
- we throw him in a ditch.
371
00:14:00,631 --> 00:14:02,675
- My apologies, gentlemen.
372
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:03,968
I tried to call,
373
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:06,304
but somebody spilled milky
all over daddy's phoney.
374
00:14:06,596 --> 00:14:08,139
Didn't you, little Mykonos?
375
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:10,641
Together: You brought a
baby to a business meeting.
376
00:14:10,933 --> 00:14:13,186
- I'm so sorry, but this
little guy's really sick.
377
00:14:13,478 --> 00:14:15,063
He threw up all over my jacket,
378
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:16,457
and I just couldn't
leave him, but...
379
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:19,442
Of course, I didn't want to
miss this fabulous opportunity.
380
00:14:19,734 --> 00:14:21,774
- I'm always just trying to
balance work and family.
381
00:14:21,903 --> 00:14:23,321
It's kinda what I'm all about.
382
00:14:23,613 --> 00:14:26,991
- Well, son, you're gonna
do great here at Kabletown.
383
00:14:27,283 --> 00:14:28,283
- Damn it!
384
00:14:28,409 --> 00:14:29,762
- You know, one
of my grandchildren
385
00:14:29,786 --> 00:14:31,221
is just about the same
age as Mike here.
386
00:14:31,245 --> 00:14:33,081
We should set up a playdate.
- How's tomorrow?
387
00:14:33,373 --> 00:14:35,792
- Uh, Hank, could Devin and
I just have a moment, please?
388
00:14:36,084 --> 00:14:37,085
- Of course!
389
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:40,004
I'll just entertain this
little bundle of Joy
390
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:41,964
with one of my
uncle Hank stories.
391
00:14:42,256 --> 00:14:44,926
The VC was everywhere.
392
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:46,886
Yes, they were. Yes, they were!
393
00:14:47,178 --> 00:14:49,389
- This is a new low...
Even for you, Banks.
394
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,058
Using your own baby
to get in with Hooper.
395
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:53,851
- I brought the
sexiest one, too.
396
00:14:54,143 --> 00:14:55,423
His cheekbones are like granite.
397
00:14:55,686 --> 00:14:58,189
And old Hank the family
man fell right into my trap.
398
00:14:58,481 --> 00:15:01,651
This isn't even baby
vomit on my jacket.
399
00:15:01,943 --> 00:15:04,070
It's mine! All mine.
400
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:06,072
- This... is not over.
401
00:15:06,364 --> 00:15:09,951
- Oh, look how much he
just loves his uncle Hank!
402
00:15:10,243 --> 00:15:11,702
- Whoosh went the flamethrower.
403
00:15:11,994 --> 00:15:13,434
"Medic! Medic!"
Cried the wittle boy!
404
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:20,878
- Oh! How was
substitute teaching, sir?
405
00:15:21,170 --> 00:15:23,464
- Oh, just like lean
on me... In that a guy
406
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:25,401
who looks like Morgan
Freeman swung a bat at me.
407
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:27,027
What are you doing
with those sugar cubes?
408
00:15:27,051 --> 00:15:29,929
- Starting a fan mailing
campaign to save the show!
409
00:15:30,221 --> 00:15:32,974
People will send sugar
cubes to Hank Hooper
410
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:35,017
to show that they're
sweet on TGS.
411
00:15:35,309 --> 00:15:37,145
I've already sent
about 100 of these,
412
00:15:37,437 --> 00:15:39,037
even though licking
an envelope is a sin.
413
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:41,107
Unless you're married to it.
414
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:43,901
So I had to marry each
envelope, and then divorce it.
415
00:15:44,193 --> 00:15:45,593
Which brings me
to my ninth point...
416
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:47,905
- so you're putting a
sugar cube in an envelope
417
00:15:48,197 --> 00:15:49,824
and then mailing
it to Hank Hooper.
418
00:15:50,116 --> 00:15:51,156
But then when he opens it,
419
00:15:51,284 --> 00:15:52,368
it will have been crushed
420
00:15:52,660 --> 00:15:54,954
into a fine, white powder.
421
00:15:55,246 --> 00:15:56,289
- I suppose so, sir.
422
00:15:56,581 --> 00:15:59,000
- Kenneth, do you know
what Anthrax looks like?
423
00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:00,751
I'm not with him!
424
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:02,043
God bless america!
425
00:16:02,086 --> 00:16:03,296
- Aah!
426
00:16:03,588 --> 00:16:04,881
My thorax!
427
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:06,841
- We never could have
found him so quickly
428
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:08,509
without your help.
429
00:16:08,801 --> 00:16:10,386
Thank you, mentaalist.
430
00:16:10,678 --> 00:16:14,140
- It is a gift... And a curse.
431
00:16:14,432 --> 00:16:15,432
In the TV show,
432
00:16:15,475 --> 00:16:19,270
you bang me in a
tulip field under credits.
433
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:27,986
- Mommy.
434
00:16:28,070 --> 00:16:29,070
What's that?
435
00:16:29,322 --> 00:16:30,823
- It's a toilet.
436
00:16:31,115 --> 00:16:33,075
Or woman. It's whatever
you need it to be.
437
00:16:33,367 --> 00:16:36,829
- No! People of the sidewalk...
438
00:16:37,121 --> 00:16:38,915
We can't give up
on the written word!
439
00:16:39,207 --> 00:16:40,708
We need stories!
440
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,377
Because I don't have a plan "b".
441
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:46,506
I have a degree in theater
tech with a minor in movement.
442
00:16:46,797 --> 00:16:48,925
Why did my parents
let me do that?
443
00:16:49,217 --> 00:16:51,302
- It's over.
444
00:16:51,594 --> 00:16:53,221
- Who's there? Show yourselves.
445
00:16:53,513 --> 00:16:54,972
- You're one of us now.
446
00:16:56,432 --> 00:16:57,892
Who are you?
447
00:16:58,184 --> 00:16:59,894
- Better to ask
who we used to be.
448
00:17:00,186 --> 00:17:01,872
People whose professions
are no longer a thing.
449
00:17:01,896 --> 00:17:04,815
Once... I was
called travel agent.
450
00:17:05,107 --> 00:17:06,210
- I was an American auto worker.
451
00:17:06,234 --> 00:17:07,818
- And I played dynamite
saxophone solos
452
00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:09,862
in rock and roll songs.
453
00:17:10,154 --> 00:17:11,948
- Come. We live
under the subways
454
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,075
with the CEO of Friendster.
455
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:17,328
- No! TGS isn't dead yet!
456
00:17:20,748 --> 00:17:21,999
- Morning, Jack.
457
00:17:22,291 --> 00:17:24,210
Oh, my. Empty coffee pot.
458
00:17:24,502 --> 00:17:27,129
Same cheap $300
tie as yesterday.
459
00:17:27,421 --> 00:17:28,881
Nose hair all askew?
460
00:17:29,173 --> 00:17:29,840
You've been here all night
461
00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:32,152
trying to figure out how
to fight back, haven't you?
462
00:17:32,176 --> 00:17:33,362
- How was your playdate
with The Hoopers?
463
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:33,970
- Oh, it was amazing.
464
00:17:34,262 --> 00:17:35,930
He has really
superlative tummy-time.
465
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:38,015
Oh! I almost forgot.
466
00:17:38,307 --> 00:17:40,518
Hank... uncle Hank...
Wants to expand overseas,
467
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:43,354
and he's chosen me to be the
face of the company in Europe.
468
00:17:43,646 --> 00:17:45,940
That's right. I've
been promoted.
469
00:17:46,232 --> 00:17:47,312
- But Europe is my purview.
470
00:17:47,358 --> 00:17:48,752
I was supposed to
go there next week.
471
00:17:48,776 --> 00:17:50,337
I was going to take a
picture where it looked like
472
00:17:50,361 --> 00:17:52,041
I was holding up the
leaning tower of pisa!
473
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:54,031
- Now I'll be
taking that picture.
474
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,409
Do you have idea
how strong I'll look?
475
00:17:56,701 --> 00:17:59,245
I vanquished you in one day!
476
00:17:59,537 --> 00:18:00,580
I was trapped in a world
477
00:18:00,871 --> 00:18:02,957
of wet wipes and
rectal thermometers.
478
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:04,768
Then the babies
came, and life changed.
479
00:18:04,792 --> 00:18:07,003
But you set me free, Jack.
480
00:18:07,295 --> 00:18:08,879
Now it's weekends in New York,
481
00:18:09,171 --> 00:18:11,799
then jet-setting around
the world in economy plus.
482
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:14,885
I'll be thousands of miles
away from the chaos in Brooklyn.
483
00:18:15,177 --> 00:18:16,929
Do you know what
it's like to have triplets?
484
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:18,490
It's just everything
times three.
485
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:19,974
Three pairs of
grabby little hands
486
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:22,893
smearing food all over your
brand-new chihuahua outfits.
487
00:18:23,185 --> 00:18:25,980
Three pairs of feet in
their weird, soft little shoes.
488
00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:28,441
Three Paris of eyes, Brown...
489
00:18:28,733 --> 00:18:30,401
Like my husband's.
490
00:18:30,693 --> 00:18:33,279
Three perfect little mouths...
491
00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:37,158
That smile every time I
walk through the door.
492
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:38,993
Three tummies...
493
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:41,996
That just want their
num-nums and zerberts.
494
00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:44,999
Oh, god, I just love
my gaybies too much.
495
00:18:45,291 --> 00:18:47,001
I can't leave!
496
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:49,128
- That's it?
497
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:51,631
You're just going to
talk yourself out of it?
498
00:18:51,922 --> 00:18:53,049
- I'm sorry, Jack.
499
00:18:53,341 --> 00:18:54,008
- But I had stuff planned.
500
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:55,885
I was going to
trading places you.
501
00:18:56,177 --> 00:18:59,138
- I was bailed out of prison
and told to come up here.
502
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:01,474
That was weak, Banks.
503
00:19:01,766 --> 00:19:03,126
- I don't expect
you to understand.
504
00:19:03,351 --> 00:19:05,031
You don't know what
it's like to have kids.
505
00:19:05,186 --> 00:19:06,228
- Actually, Devin, I do.
506
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,189
I have a baby daughter, Liddy.
507
00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:10,566
- And yet you still
managed to be here all night
508
00:19:10,858 --> 00:19:12,498
trying to figure out
how to bring me down.
509
00:19:12,652 --> 00:19:14,987
Well, damn, Jack...
510
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:16,279
You are strong.
511
00:19:16,364 --> 00:19:18,240
You're like dora's friend...
512
00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:20,618
Both: Benny the bull.
513
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:22,119
Thank you.
514
00:19:25,206 --> 00:19:27,583
Jonathan, call my car.
515
00:19:39,428 --> 00:19:40,930
- Okay. Here's an idea.
516
00:19:41,222 --> 00:19:43,474
We keep TGS going as a magazine.
517
00:19:43,766 --> 00:19:45,393
- Miss Lemon, it's over.
518
00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:47,561
I applied to transfer to news.
519
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:50,147
I'm sorry. I couldn't
save the show.
520
00:19:50,439 --> 00:19:52,316
- Here.
521
00:19:52,608 --> 00:19:54,527
I'm actually not that hungry.
522
00:19:54,819 --> 00:19:55,820
- That's funny.
523
00:19:56,112 --> 00:19:57,392
This is the same
place Mr. Jordan
524
00:19:57,655 --> 00:19:58,823
gets pizza from in Africa.
525
00:19:59,115 --> 00:20:00,157
- I'm sorry, what?
526
00:20:00,449 --> 00:20:02,302
- Oh, when Mr. Jordan
and I talk on the computer,
527
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:04,328
sometimes he's eating
this exact same pizza.
528
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:05,955
- Africa's great.
529
00:20:06,247 --> 00:20:08,457
We got Juju monsters...
530
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:09,749
Gum-gum trees...
531
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,252
And horsicorns...
532
00:20:11,544 --> 00:20:13,754
Which is a unicorn
with a horse's head.
533
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:16,674
- Kenneth, you beautiful goon!
534
00:20:16,966 --> 00:20:18,050
He's not in Africa.
535
00:20:18,342 --> 00:20:19,760
He's somewhere
in the delivery zone
536
00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:21,262
of Federici's pizza!
537
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:23,347
We can find him and
bring him back here,
538
00:20:23,639 --> 00:20:25,266
and no more forced hiatus!
539
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:27,184
- I did it! I saved the show!
540
00:20:27,476 --> 00:20:28,756
I won't have to go work at news!
541
00:20:28,894 --> 00:20:30,789
- And I won't have to be
the world's worst hooker!
542
00:20:30,813 --> 00:20:32,148
You wanna party?
543
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,276
It's 500 for kissing,
10,000 for snuggling.
544
00:20:35,568 --> 00:20:37,319
End of list.
545
00:20:37,611 --> 00:20:38,611
No!
546
00:20:39,864 --> 00:20:42,742
I'm hungry again!
547
00:20:50,291 --> 00:20:51,611
- Have you made
friends in Africa?
548
00:20:51,709 --> 00:20:54,336
- Oh, sure. Ladysmith
Black Mambazo,
549
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:55,796
Paul Simon, Invictus.
550
00:20:56,088 --> 00:20:57,757
- So what's the weather like?
551
00:20:58,048 --> 00:21:01,051
- Crazy. It's the snowiest
winter we had in years
552
00:21:01,343 --> 00:21:03,220
in New York... in Africa.
553
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:05,392
- Well, sir, I had a very
interesting morning...
554
00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:07,057
- uh-oh. It's nighttime.
555
00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:10,060
Gotta go to bed, or
I'll anger the gods.
556
00:21:10,352 --> 00:21:13,314
They must be crazy! Africa.
557
00:21:13,606 --> 00:21:15,608
- I probably should
have realized
558
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:17,485
he was in New York sooner.
559
00:21:17,777 --> 00:21:20,488
Bird Internet.
