We had to take turns being a table.

And we had to power it with our feet.

a little bit more, Reggie.
Maybe tomorrow you could take me back to--

It's a great idea.
Maybe we'll see Mr. Kotter and the Sweathogs.

who came up with the idea of reading contracts.
So I already told them you're my agent.

But that guy was poisoning everybody.

You know me.
- Not really.
But it's nice to see you.
Let's see the back. - All right.
- Okay.

But holla at me sometime.

And--and then again the other day

- Dig, tell you what.
I'm gonna help you lock this down.
- No, no, no, no, no. You don't need to do anything.
Just--you were telling me about how
you and Monica got together.
- Denise!
- Uh, hey, Reggie Dinkins!
- What's up, girl?
How your boy doing with the passing drills?
- He good.
- What you doing tonight?
You know, my boy Arthur lives with me

- Well, next time then, whenever I'm back in Sheepneck,
or you're in Northern New Jersey.
Or we could meet in the exact middle.
I looked it up on a map.
And it is the 9/11 Memorial.

Okay.
Well, see you around. - Yeah.
It's great to see you.
Oh. Oh, cool, very nice.
Yeah.
- Oh, good morning.
And here's your coffee, baby.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You look exactly like my girlfriend.
- Okay, Shane.
Thanks.

you turned down IDK for this place.
- Barry, what are you doing here?

But the "Crossover 3K" cover boy, Kyrie Irving,
IDK just sold his memoir,

I couldn't resist getting in on the deal.

And apparently, Akinyele got way more money
to use "Put It in Your Mouth" in the new Kirby game.
- Oh, we're happy with the offer,
but not the split.

I was thinking more like 100/0.
- Zero?

J, we wrote that song together.
- Well, my client says you used her GarageBand
on her laptop in a coffee shop where the baristas know her.
- Yeah.
This guy says you're trying to steal my song.
- Your song? Okay.
- Okay. Wait.
Barry, hey. Okay.
There's plenty to go around if we just work together.
- Oh, I thought you said you didn't want to work with me.
- Jynnysyz, Brina, look at your phones for a minute.
Is this about me not taking that job?
Come on.
- Do you know what you put me through?
I had to get all the IDK partners to sign off on you,
then email them to say you turned us down.
It was humiliating.
100/0, Monica.
That's our offer.
- Stack, stack.
- Okay.
Let's talk about your time in Green Bay.
- Cheese, cold.
Next question.
[phone buzzes] - Oh, sorry.

- Uh, it was my dentist wishing me happy birthday.
They have the wrong date.
They won't fix it.

Are you the blue?
Oh, no.
I know what this is.
You're treating that girl

You're obsessed.

you are wrong about us and me.
And then you can just stop interfering in my life.
