-Oh, Bryn.
Cute computer girl, weird hair, 12-inch platforms.
We're all friends, Bryn.
Even if you're new here, we're all friends.
We care about each other.
And that's stronger than money.
-You're making the right decision.
-I'm making the right decision for somebody.
-Hell, I don't know.
Write about Aaron almost making Derek pay 10 times more
in taxes than he had to.
-That's what you want me to write.
-That's what they want you to write.
-It was a mistake.
-It was a big mistake that would have cost me a lot of money.
-I think you should do it and then buy him a drink
-An "I'm sorry I stabbed you in the back in a public forum"
drink?
-What happened today?
-You know what happened.
-You want to talk about it?
-Not really.
-You know you work too much, right?
-You really should date someone before your tattoos
start to sag.
I heard sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations.
-Really, can it?
You think so?
-Don't get snippy with me.
I'm just saying.
I don't have to be here.
-I can't sleep.
-Bad dreams?
-No, I mean it's not practical.
I've lost almost a month's worth of work.
-And you feel guilty?
-Why should I feel guilty?
It's going to be that kind of day.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-Damn it.
Why can't I load anything?
Bryn, why can't I load anything?
Bryn?
Bryn!
-What?
-I can't load anything.
Is the server down?
-Oh, let me see.
Huh.
Server's down.
-Oh, really.
-Uh, I think we have a problem.
-What?
-It's really, really down.
-Like it exploded?
-Like it's not there anymore.
-So someone stole the server, and you
think that's your fault.
-I didn't say that.
I didn't have a backup.
I'm the administrator.
It was my responsibility to have a backup and I didn't.
So now we're all screwed.
-You lost more than anyone else.
It was your server.
-That doesn't change the fact that I'm incompetent.
-You think they won't like you because someone
broke into the office?
-No.
I think they won't like me because I'm
the smart weird girl who suddenly
lost her one redeeming quality.
-You lost half your project and a piece of hardware
that you can't afford to replace,
and you're worried about being popular?
Sure it's not something else?
-They're not going to do that, Aaron.
-Then make them do it.
A retraction, something-- I'm already
having to explain to my clients why I have to double-check all
my work for the last two months.
This is going to kill me, Jack.
-Oh, look.
It's Judas.
-Hey, easy there buddy.
-Let go of me.
What do you think I'm going to do?
-Let me buy you a drink.
-Are you serious?
-It's not like I made them write that you were neurotic
or that you had unattractive facial hair.
-No, you've been very kind to me.
-Everything I wrote in there was the truth.
Nothing was a lie.
It was about a business mistake that you made.
-How does that make it any better?
-Tell me you wouldn't do the same thing.
-I wouldn't do the same thing!
-Not even if it helped your business?
Not even if you had Jack show up at your doorstep?
-Hey, don't drag me into this.
-No, Mr. "Fix It Before I Lose Another Client."
-This thing was your idea?
-Do you know how big this was for Olivia?
This is what they wanted.
You're not a rock star.
No one will remember your name five minutes
after they read the article.
But this is huge exposure for her.
This is a business move.
Don't make more of it than it is.
-Answer the question, Jack.
-I may have guided her in that direction.
-Yeah.
You know, you're right.
You're right.
This is nothing, nothing personal.
Just a business move, [INAUDIBLE] you
and your big stupid, business face!
Hey, lunch later?
-Do you know that humans are basically predators?
-What does that have to do with anything?
-That's who you think you are.
-A person?
-A predator.
-He's married.
-Does a lion care if the gazelle is married?
-Are you saying I should eat him?
-Thanks for this.
-Sure.
It's the kind of thing friends do, right?
-I don't really know what friends do anymore.
-I don't think they meant to hurt you.
-No?
What do you think they meant to do?
-I think they meant to win half a million dollars.
-Yeah.
Well, I'm not going to play that game.
I don't care if I lose the stupid contest.
I want to be able to live with myself, you know?
-Yeah.
You're a good guy, Aaron.
-And always the ones that finish last.
-Not with me.
-Well, I hope you're the one judging the race.
-It was a moment.
I swear it was a moment.
And he's married.
-But nothing happened.
-I wanted something to happen.
-But nothing did.
So why should you feel guilty?
-Because maybe I have a conscience.
-Do you?
-I'm not going out there.
I can't do this anymore.
-Now we're getting somewhere.
-And what will he think?
-I don't care what he thinks.
I don't work for him anymore.
-He just pays you.
-To spy on my friends.
-Bryn, they're not your friends.
You're not the kind of girl who has friends.
You're the kind of girl who wears a spiked collar
so you stab people in the face when they hug you.
Go to your meeting and get your money.
-No.
-Are your friends going to buy your new server?
-I can finish without it.
-We both know that's not true.
Look, you're not the only one in this group playing games.
-So now I'm like Jack and Olivia.
-Oh no, of course not.
You're much worse.
Jack and Olivia never lied to anybody.
But you've been doing that since the beginning.
Why stop now, I say.
It's your parade, Bryn.
You can lead it wherever you like.
But aren't you a little tired of me
making you feel sorry for yourself?
[KNOCKING]

-Bryn.
-Don't.
-Are you sulking again?
-I'm done.
-Bryn, there's a reason.
-I said I'm done.
-There's no malice in this.
-They're my friends.
And I said I'm done.
-Then I'm pulling the contest and no one wins.
-Fine.
-That's my girl.
Now tell me what my little business
people have been up to.
-Here, I have something for you.
You've been served.
-All right.
I don't want to talk about money, or bankruptcy,
or the fact that I can't afford any of this.
-Jesus, woman.
What are you doing?
-I trusted you!
I slept with you!
-Scarlett, I am so sorry.
I didn't even know--
-Oh, you're the one.
You must be my worthless hack of a protege.
-$50,000 and we might not win?
-Justice works in mysterious ways.
Or maybe it was blind.
Either way, it's going to cost you a lot of money.
