Entourage Scene

INT. KOI JAPANESE RESTAURANT

Ari and Eric sitting at a table.

Ari: I had an unbelievable lunch with Dana Gordon. Script is coming in next week. And I think I
convinced her to attach Vinny before they get a director. I should get a fucking Pulitzer.

Eric: Ari, Vince doesnt wanna do Aquaman.

Ari: What do you mean he doesnt wanna do Aquaman? He hasnt read the fucking script.

Eric: Yeah but he has read Medellin and he wants to do that.

Ari: Whered you get that one, Josh Weinstein?

Eric: Little insecure, Ari?

Ari: Howd you get it?

Eric: Turtle found it on the subway, whats it matter? We wanna do it.

Ari: Ya and I wanna fuck Angelina Jolie, the only dierence is, I might actually have a shot.

Eric: We dont have a shot?

Ari: No. You wanna know why? Theyre out to a guy, I dont know if you ever heard of him, his names
Tom Cruise.

Eric: Tom Cruise is gonna play Pablo Escobar? The guys not even Hispanic.

Ari: Ya and Hillary Swank has a vagina and she won an Oscar pretending she has a dick. Thats what
actors do. They pretend.

Eric: Alright, I get it. So, what if Cruise passes?

Ari: Then they go to Brad Pitt. He passes they go to Keanu Reeves. Then on down the list.

Eric: And where is Vince on that last?

Ari: Hes not on the list.

Eric: How do we get him on the list?

Ari: You do Aquaman you stupid fuck. Before he did Born on the Fourth of July, Tom Cruise did
Top Gun. Hanks fucked a fish before he did Forest Gump. We need a commercially viable popcorn
flick like Matterhorn wouldve been. We can get Aquaman.

Eric: We can get a lot of things, Ari. And since Vince doesnt want to do Aquaman lets talk about
those things.

Ari: Really, we can get a lot of things. You know?

Eric: Yeah.
Eric: Yeah.

Ari: You know what the fuck we can get. You dont even know the name of your own fucking company.

Eric: Oooh. Stop cursing at Koi," youre embarrassing me.

Ari: You know whats embarrassing? Is that you are managing your best friend right out of the
business.

Eric: Thats not true. Youll be singing a dierent tune when you see Queens Boulevard.

Ari: We need a career intervention. Thats what we need. No more arguing. No more bullshit. Were
gonna sit down, the three of us, and Im going to lay out for you clearly what our options are. This
town is littered with the trashed careers of the once-upon-a-time movie stars. Dont let our boy be a
cautionary tale.
