"What's going on with those espadrilles?" "We'll get them in when Pham fixes the strap problem." " They'll still be fucking unwearable." " I know." "Okay, so..." "Gadzooks wants 5500 pieces shipped for spring." " 5500?" " Mm-hmm." "5500 units of Crisp?" "Kirsten:" "Yep, and because you guys have never worked with us before or had an order of this size, we want Crisp to use a manufacturer that we trust." "Yeah, we'd like for you guys to use Yosi." "Kirsten:" "Keep it in the family." "I'm sorry, who's Yosi?" "He's Nancy's husband." "I thought you guys knew him." "You're married?" "Yes, of course." "He does manufacturing for three brands in our store already, so he ships to us regularly, on time." " It'll be a piece of cake." " His flight gets in at 11:00." " I can set up a meeting this afternoon." " Perfect." "Yay!" "You guys are gonna love Yosi." "Right, Nancy?" "He is the best." "Yosi- that's an Israeli name, right?" "I think so, yeah." "Are all Israelis Jewish?" "I don't know." "That's your motherland right there." "How you don't know about your own peoples?" "I'm a reconstructionist Jew." "The Upper West Side is my motherland." "I'm just trying to get a read on this dude." "You don't think it's a conflict of interest that he's working with his wife?" "Yeah, maybe, but doesn't really seem like we have a choice, do we?" "It's just a little shady to me." "I mean, what if something were to happen with the order?" "Is Yosi gonna have our backs or his own wife's?" "What's gonna happen with the order?" "Shit always happens." "I fucked Nancy last night." "You almost had me." "That's funny." "Hello." "Nilda here?" "They moved out last week." "Nilda, one of your buddies is here." " Hi." " Want to come outside?" "Come in for a second." "For real?" "Ma, this is Tiffany." "She's having problems with her moms." "Can she stay with us for a little?" "If her mom says okay, she can stay on the couch." "Come on, ma." "Angelo slept on the couch." "That's the rule in my house." "You said Angelo had to sleep on the couch 'cause you don't want me getting pregnant." "Me and Tiffany aren't getting pregnant." "What?" "What do you mean he ain't gonna re-up?" "It's not about pregnant." "It's about proper." "I'm closing a major deal today with Vert America and you knuckleheads can't get $500 from a bodega?" "That lying motherfucker said what?" "Oh, excuse me." "Jabar:" "Cruz is freaking out." "He said some dreads came in, took everything off the shelves and poured it out in the aisles- something about it being anti-Jamaican." "That's bullshit, man." "The dreads told Cruz that they want to sit down with you." "What do you want me to tell them?" "You tell them I don't negotiate with terrorists." "Seriously, David, man the fuck up." "Yeah." "No, you can afford the ring." "I don't know." "I guess you just don't want to marry me." "No, honey, I do know what I'm talking about." "Yes, I check your online banking." "Okay, listen, I can't really talk about this right now." "I have somebody in my office." "Mm-hmm." "Ooh, infuriating." " Hi." " Hi." "You look awfully peppy today." "I am, thanks." "I have a story idea for you." "Oh, go." "I went to this dinner party last night out in Bushwick." "And it was for these fashion guys." "You know the New York Neanderthals?" "Okay." "They live in this huge Victorian." "And they grow their own grapes and pickles and" "Cool." "What else you got?" "So after dinner all of us get on bikes and we start riding." "No no no no, I'm saying what other ideas do you have?" "That sounds a little too grungy." "Robin, I think this is a really great idea for us." "No." "But I do have something else super fun for you to write." "Sheila Shapiro just opened a storefront- a wonderful little caterer in Union Square- called Noshables." "I want you to go meet her, give me 500 words on it." "And please, Rachel, be nice to her." "Don't hostile-face her." "I'm hoping she gives me a deal on my wedding cake, if I ever fucking get engaged." "Pussy boy." "Maybe I'll get a desk like this for our office." "Would you stop fucking around, Cam?" "Get up." "Which one of you two is Ben Epstein?" "Hey, Yosi." "It's nice to meet you." "You motherfucker." "You designed my favorite fucking sweatshirt and I don't have the license for Crisp." "You're killing me with that talent." "Cam, nice to meet you." "Nancy says great things about you." "We love Nancy." "Yeah, everybody loves my wife." "Come on, I'll take you on a tour." "When I first started working with Christian Noshables, he had just left Lee, not a pot to piss in." "Now he owns Michael Jackson's house." "People call me a starmaker." "I'm not bragging, but I've made a lot of people rich and famous." "No, Enzo, I told you, use the chain stitch hem, huh?" " Si si." " Come on, let's go." "I found him working at the Ferragamo store in Rome 10 years ago, brought him here and gave him an opportunity." "Now Enzo is the best tailor in New York City." "See, that's what I love to do- find talented young people and help them grow." "Maybe there's an opportunity for you to grow here." "Hey, Peter, hold on." "Okay, so what did you have in mind?" "Well, we start with the Gadzooks deal and go from there." "But with your talent, I believe Crisp could do an Ed Hardy." "$150 million in sales, no rhinestones." "Huh." "Well, how would the Gadzooks deal work?" "I cover all production costs." "You don't go in your pocket for a dime." "Then we split the profits 50/50." "And depending on where we source the loopwheeler cotton, you should take home $200,000-250,000 on this one." "Come on, guys." "I want to show you something." "This is the first thing I did when I bought this building" "I built a basketball court." "I love this game." "I briefly played pro in Israel- the best three years of my life." " Cam:" "Whoo!" " Thank you." "So here are the terms for you to review and here is a little something to show you how confident I am about the future of Crisp- an advance against future earnings." "Cam:" "$10,000?" "Yosi, would it be cool if Cam and I just discussed this and then got back to you?" "Oh sure." "You're smart guys." "The ball is in your court." "Thank you." "And my wife is throwing a birthday party for me tomorrow night- a big one." "I hope you can make it." " Most definitely, yes." " Yeah, sure." "♪ Symmetry ♪" "♪ nobody cares ♪" "♪ when I look around ♪" "♪ I can feel it spinning... ♪" "Announcer over P.A.:" "Attention, ladies and gentlemen." "This train will now be running express to Brooklyn." "Next stop, Borough Hall." " Let me ask you a question." " Yeah." "If Kapo okays the contract, do you think it'll look desperate if I cash my advance today?" "So now you don't think it's shady to work with a husband and wife anymore?" "I do, but whatever." "Hey, everybody's in bed with everybody, right?" "Yeah." "And I" " I was in bed with Nancy last night." "You said that joke already." "Yeah." "And this morning too, man." "I'm serious." "No, you didn't." "Yeah." "You fucked her?" "That's fucked up, Ben." "I know, I know." "Why would you do something so stupid?" "I don't know." "I wasn't thinking, all right?" "The one time you decided to wild out, it's a woman that we're in business with." "And she's married." "I didn't know she was married, okay?" "We were just- we were wasted in the back of the cab and it happened." "Well, we can't work with Yosi now." "I mean this changes everything." "No no, it doesn't change anything, 'cause it's never ever gonna happen again." "I swear to God, Cam." "This order can make us, man." "Yeah, I get it, okay?" "That's why I'm gonna talk to Nancy and I'm gonna" " I'm gonna" "It's all gonna work out, okay?" "I promise." "I'm gonna make you real proud at the event today." "Watch." "I'm feeling real good." "Just don't set no kids on fire." "Yeah, hello." "Who's this?" "Everton Thompson of the East Flatbush Caribbean League." "You might remember me from your event on Chrystie Street." "How'd you get this number?" "Look, I'd like to discuss Rasta Monsta and the insensitivities to the Caribbean community that you demonstrate with each sale." "Do you know who I am?" "Yes yes yes yes, I do, brother." "That's why" "Look, I think we should sit down and discuss things before they get out of hand, eh?" "We ain't discussing shit." "You can go kill yourself, man." "Pretty straightforward." "And this is a good move for Crispy Crisp World Enterprises because you guys are spending nothing out of pocket to make 5500 hoodies which, according to this, would cost around 50 grand." "And is there a provision in there that says it's gonna cost us money if Ben bangs Yosi's wife?" "What?" "Really?" "No." "Where do you want to go to lunch though?" "Because we're treating." "Pick someplace expensive." "No no no no." "Gentlemen, no." "Pick a place that has a decent bottle of Brunello." "That's my shit now." "Wow, look how bougie Cam's getting." "I think I liked him better when he was Dominican." "Oh, Dominicans can't enjoy good wine now?" "Mr. Kaplan, I'm Special Agent Bush with the F.B.I." "This is Special Agent Ferguson." "We'd like to ask you some questions, sir." "You know what?" "If you guys could just give me five minutes." "I'm in the middle of a very important meeting right now." "Unfortunately, we cannot." "Okay, you know what?" "Why don't we-?" "We could just take this into the conference room." "I guess I'm going to be late for that lunch." "Save me some of that Brunello, all right?" " Mr. Kaplan, please stop talking." " You're gonna be fine." "Yeah- no, I'm good." "They're just bringing me up for questioning." " That's it." " Please stop talking." "You guys, please don't forget about me." "Please." "Oh shit." "Okay okay." "All right, what we have to do- we have to cash our advance checks and then we'll just bail him out." "You don't need to be bailed out of questioning." "He'll be home by tonight." "You never knew anybody who got brought in for questioning?" "I don't know." "I do now." "Hey, Tim." "Rich girl!" "Please do not gentrify this neighborhood." "Our drug dealers have a hard enough time affording cool sneakers as is." "You don't have to worry." "I'm not moving in." "I hope you're not here to take advantage of me." "I seen a woman rape a man once." "It was in Amsterdam- with some popsicle sticks and some gaffer's tape." " It was very traumatizing." " Hi." "Um, no." "I was wondering if you'd let me write an article about you for "Biscuit Magazine."" ""Biscuit Magazine"?" "What's that?" "It's a women's lifestyle magazine." "It's where I work." "I'm sorry to hear that." "Why do you want to write an article about me?" "Well, the magazine says it wants to be all about sort of that handmade, homemade sensibility, you know, like D.I.Y. stuff." "And I was like, "this is it," you know, here in this really sexy way which I feel like will like help sell magazines." "You will help." "I am sexy." "You get an expense account over at "Biscuit Magazine"?" "Yeah, we do." "You want me to- you want me to buy you a steak at Luger's First or something?" "I got a better idea." "Okay, so how many tattoos do you think you have at this point?" "Oh, I don't know." "Too many." "I kind of have an addictive personality." "Yeah, your addiction's gonna put my kids through college." "Really?" "Don't start with me, motherfucker." "Oh, I'm so sorry I'm so late." "Hey. that her harem pants look like M.C. Hammer pants." "She did not think this was funny." "She had a total nervous breakdown, screaming, crying, literally snot bubbles coming out of her nose." "It was totally fucking disgusting." "So I'm sorry." "I'm here." " How are you?" " I'm good." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "Listen, for what it's worth, I thought you were divorced." "Oh really?" "Well, I'm not." "Yeah, but are you like married married, like monogamous married or-?" "I mean, was last night- was that- was that a normal thing or-?" "Last night was totally drunk and stupid" "I mean nice, whatever, but, Ben, I'm married." "I am married married." "Okay, but now I'm gonna be working with Yosi and" "Yeah, but don't worry about it." "What happened last night has nothing to do with working with Yosi." "I'm a big girl." "I can handle my shit." "I assume you can do the same?" " Yes." " Yeah?" "Obviously it will never happen again." " Of course not." " Yeah." "I'm the Rasta Monsta, motherfucker." "I love this shit." "Yeah." "Yo." " What's up, man?" " How are you doing, man?" "All right." "Man, I hate to do this to you, but Wilfredo's not skating today." "All day I've been getting emails and messages, some guy named Everton Thompson, telling me," ""Rasta Monsta is a scourge on all Caribbean people."" "There will be serious ramifications" ""on all or any retailers who support this racist beverage."" "Come on, man, the guy's a lunatic." "Don't listen to that stuff." "Is it?" "'Cause I got people here picketing." " I also got the news here too." " Man:" "No Rasta Monsta!" "Are you serious?" "You want me to have my guy remove them right now?" "I'll have him remove them." "Rene, this isn't the lower east side, you know." "I can't have rastas threatening my soccer moms." "Come on, man." "Those ain't real dreads." "They're not even real rastas." "They're imposters." " Come on now." " Look, Rene," "I feel we can still sell a lot of product if we roll it out right." "But you gotta clean up this mess before we buy another can." "I'll clean it up." "Don't worry." "I'll" " I'll" "Eddie." "Set up the sit-down." "Wilfredo, we're leaving." "Yo, what happened?" "I didn't even get to skate yet." "Yo, Rene, I can't let my fans down." "They need me." "Yo, hold up." " You gotta shut your eyes." " What is this?" " With your hands." " No." " So three..." " Come on." "...two, one." "What the shit?" "Look at your little griddle cake jump-off with the little syrup." "Word up." "I like that." "When are you into tattoos?" "That's dope as hell." " Do you like it?" " Yeah, I love it." " What?" "It's cool, right?" " Yeah." "I mean if this doesn't give my story a personal dimension," "I just- I don't know what will." "Right." "Wow, that's dope." "Is it tender?" "Do you think Ben's gonna like freak out when he hears that I've written a story about the Neanderthals?" "I mean, he's clearly not their biggest fan." "Uh, is everything you do centered on Ben?" "What?" "I don't know." "I'm just saying like it seems you have a knack for being involved with people in his orbit." "I don't think that's true." "Really?" "Or is it why we're having this relationship?" "Are we having a relationship?" "I mean, we're having something." "And at this point I just really want to know what the deal is." "Domingo, I love hanging out with you, but as far as like a relationship," "I mean, I'm just not looking for that." "Are you?" "No." "No." "I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page." "Cool." "Look, I mean, my store has to maintain a certain cache of designers and no offense, but Gadzooks?" "No offense to Lulu D, but Gadzooks bought 5500 hoodies." "You, Missy, bought two." "5500?" "That's your price?" "No." "They're buying 5500 units." "Best believe we're grossing more than that." "Oh my God, you're such a happy little sellout." "This is Crisp blowing up on our own terms." "It's not like they asked us to put pink polka dots on the hoodies." "Just be careful." "Look at what happened to Zoo York." "They were started off super cool and now they're half off at Marshalls." "Personally I just prefer smaller brands that feel handmade." "We gotta keep it real at Lulu D." "Well, I guess it's easy to keep it real when you got a millionaire father to bail you out." "Uh, actually, dick," "I run a successful business." "What makes you think I've ever taken a penny from my father?" "Well, have you?" "Of course I have." "Shit, I would too if I could, but my pops is the brokest dude I know." "Look, I'm really sorry we have to end our business relationship." "Oh good." "I like our new relationship way better." "Oh, do you?"

"Welcome." "Would you like a drink?" "I didn't make up the name Rasta Monsta." "It's a company that I bought to make a legitimate business for myself- a business I've worked very hard to maintain." "Now I respect your concerns, but it's an energy drink celebrating the inner strength of the Jamaican people." "We don't mean no disrespect by it." "Yeah, well, you know what?" "We feel disrespected." "So we need to just come up with a creative solution, that's all." "If you want me to adjust the marketing down the road, we can talk about it down the road." "Unfortunately, Rene, we- we need to remedy the damage that you're presently doing in the Caribbean community." "How do you want to work this out?" "You could unwrap one of those Escalades and donate it to the East Flatbush Caribbean League." " An Escalade?" " Yeah." "And that'll get you to stop?" "That and 10% of your profits each month donated to our youth outreach program." "You just picked the wrong guy to shake down." "You ever heard there's no such thing as bad press?" "Make all the noise you want, you know." "I live for this type of shit." "Make all the noise I want, huh?" " What the fuck is this?" " I think you know what it is." " I think I don't." " Marijuana tincture spray." "So now is this the kind of press you want to get back to your parole officer?" "I mean, 'cause if it is, hey, you know what?" "You end up back in jail, convict." "I got nothing to do with this," "God as my witness." "And if you ever come after my business again, there'll be no sit-down." "There'll be a funeral, brother." " Hey." " Hey." "Hi." "Cam:" "Happy birthday." "50 is the new 30, right?" "Oh yes." "I'm so glad you boys came." "Don't you look handsome, Ben?" "Yeah, well, you know, I had to come correct for my man Yosi." "Excuse me just for a second." "Pharrell, I want you to meet some friends of mine- my new discovery." "Cam and Ben" " Pharrell." " Cam:" "Nice to meet you." " How are you doing, man?" " Hey, big fan, man." " Nice to meet you." "Nancy:" "They have a company named Crisp." "They make really beautiful hooded sweatshirts and t-shirts." " What's up, Yosi?" " I think you'll love them." " Okay." " Yo, love the music, B.B.C. You're a real inspiration." "I used to work at Barneys and when B.B.C. first came out- those full-zip hoodies changed the game." "Oh man, thank you." "I'm glad you liked it." "This man is a visionary." ""Get your bling like your Neptune sounds." "Zing zing zing."" "Nancy:" "Okay." "Good luck with Crisp, man." "I like the name." " Ben:" "Oh thanks." " Cam:" "Nice meeting you." "Well, we didn't wrap it, but I'm glad to say we want to work with you." "We couldn't ask for a better production partner, not that we had a choice." "This is fantastic." "I'm- the best birthday present so far tonight." "We are going to make some very cool sweatshirts and a lot of money, huh?" " We'll toast to that." " All right."
