PREVIOUSLY ON ENTOURAGE BILLY WALSH Drama, I want to tell the story of an American dream... I want you [to play the lead role] DRAMA Billy, that's genius! I'm in. SLOAN I can't keep dropping my charity meetings just because you're too busy. ERIC Sloan... MIA So it's a streaming service? TURTLE Nah, honey, it's a music availability enterprise. VINCE Federico - I would be honored to do this movie. BRIAN WILLIAMS Film star Vincent Chase. The latest target of internet hackers. ARI LLOYD! EXT. LOS ANGELES - NIGHT Credits. INT. THE BOY'S PAD Turtle sits with a HIGH QUALITY APPLE LAPTOP and iPHONE 7 in his lap watching TMZ. Maybe he's smoking too. We take the show in from Turtle's view. The TMZ LEADER is asking his staff about the latest developments. Note: Hire intern to absorb some TMZ and re-write this scene to better reflect the reality of the show. TMZ LEADER Now, we've gotten a lot of details about Vince Chase from these leaks. The depression following his obsessive relationship with Mandy Moore, the rehab notes that tell us just how bad his addiction was, and lewd texts between the Gatsby star and everyone from waitresses to starlets to Oscar winning actresses and executives. TMZER #1 -And the emails that show his then-agent, now Warners exec Ari Gold strong arming Vince into movies that producers and directors clearly didn't want him in - Smokejumpers - TMZER #2 Let's not forget the nepotism - his refusal to work with a real manager allowing his talentless pal Eric Murphy into Hollywood... The clause in his contract that guarantees his brother John Chase a role in every movie. TMZ LEADER I guess we know why there was a speaking role for Jazz Age Bozo #4 in Gatsby... Drama walks in, sees what Turtle's watching - maybe even catches a bit of what was said about him on the show - and is his usual blend of angry and offended. TMZ BABE #1 But I think that's sweet - that he still looks out for his childhood friends... DRAMA Turtle! What the FUCK are you doing? TURTLE Just catching up on the news. DRAMA The news? Turtle, this is TMZ bullshit. TURTLE So? DRAMA (taken aback) SO? Could you be any less helpful? TURTLE hits a button, switching the TV input to PORNOGRAPHY. The camera lingers on the TV as two women bone and make sensual noises. DRAMA Great. Baby Bro's in trouble and you're here jerking off. TURTLE turns the TV off. TURTLE First of all, you're just mad that TMZ ain't mention your starring role in "Miners." Secondly, relax Drama. You know I'm just planning our counterattack. DRAMA Unless there's a new definition for planning - TURTLE Look, we gotta know what's out there. I got TMZ on the TV, I got Twitter on constant refresh on my iPhone, and I'm going through Reddit on the laptop. DRAMA, looking mollified, plops down on the couch next to TURTLE and looks over his shoulder at the laptop. DRAMA So, what're they saying about the Chase boys? TURTLE Drama, they ain't talking about you. And I dunno - there's a lot happening. Ya got #TeamVince who'd support Vin no matter what - it actually gets a little creepy - then you've got privacy rights advocates, people with no opinion, commentators who hate celebrities, posters who just hate Vince, homophobes, sexists, communists, fascists - Regardless, it doesn't matter to these folks. I've been trying to support Vin using different usernames, but it's such a massive event -

DRAMA We Chase men don't do things small - unlike E - TURTLE I think the only way we can have an impact is to do an AMA. We have to let the public see Vince the way we see him. DRAMA Yeah, we'll fight all these motherfuckers. TURTLE That's MMA, Drama. TURTLE shakes his head while DRAMA just kinds of sits there and we ride out the punchline before we cut to INT. SHAUNA'S OFFICE SHAUNA How the fuck could you let this happen, Eric? E Me? I'm just the manager. How the fuck did you let this become a national news story, Shauna? SHAUNA As much power as I have, Eric, I don't control the press. The media's not going to just sit around an not report on Hollywood's biggest star. VINCE So what are we supposed to do? SHAUNA Right now, you do nothing. No Twitter, no trips with Quentin to the New Beverly. I don't even want you to Snapchat. E Great, Shauna, so we're paying you for nothing. SHAUNA Listen you little lucky charms- hoarding prick, I wouldn't expect you to have learned this at Sbarros School of Management - E Semesters at Rutgers - SHAUNA What's the difference. Anyway, at Stanford we learned about a little something called the Streisand Effect. It's a pretty complex principle, so listen closely. If you keep trying to cover up something, more people will pay attention. The conversation will continue. If you ignore it, let the press pick a different flavor of the day - poof. E So we're just supposed to wait? SHAUNA Yes. Less is more, Eric. And fortunately, there's been nothing all that damaging from the leaks. A few fake names uncovered, some nasty emails, a few treatments leaked, but nothing incriminating. Everyone knew Ari was a conniving asshole already, and most of what's out there makes Vincent look pretty good. But leave it to me. Anyone has any questions, I'll handle them. What you need to worry about is the day-to-day shit. We can assume that all Vince's covers are blown, all of his favorite clubs are swarming with paparazzi, and fans are staking out the various properties. You have to avoid those places like Jack White avoids sunlight. Vinny looks like he's taken Shauna's advice to heart, but then acts like the daring Vinny Chase we all came to know and love. VINCE So what, Shauna? I'm just supposed to stop living my life? Isn't that exactly what these hackers want? SHAUNA It's not clear what they want, Vincent. The only information we have is that these files were dumped onto Reddit by users Charybdis, BlackManta, and OCMaster. You don't need to stop living your life. Just don't go to Sayers or Lure anytime soon. Besides, it's just for a little while. E Okay, Shauna. We'll keep a low profile. How long before this blows over? SHAUNA The fuck do I look like, Katie Couric? Who knows? We just need another story - say, how does Drama feel about leaking some nude pics? E You know he's sensitive about his legs. SHAUNA What about Turtle? Is his music business close to overtaking Spotify? Or what if he and Drama got badly injured? That'd buy some sympathy at least. E I'll pass that along. E and VINCE stand up, ready to roll out. E Thanks Shauna. SHAUNA Stay sharp, Eric. Take care, Vincent. As the two walk out, Shauna reminds them..... SHAUNA And remember, silence is golden! The door closes and we cut to INT. BOARD ROOM We're looking at the Time Warner board. ARI GOLD is under attack by board member SANDRA KIM. ARI is trying to be a bit more tactful as the CEO and CHAIRMAN OF A BILLION DOLLAR MULTINATIONAL BUSINESS.

SANDRA We trust you Ari. We just don't know how long this Vincent Chase thing will go on. Or how deep it goes. Maybe it's best for you to take a little vacation. Recuse yourse- ARI Recuse myself? Sandra - ladies and gentlemen of the board - I'm the CEO - and chairman - of this corporation. SANDRA That's exactly why- ARI I know that you think I'm biased because I came up from Hollywood, but to me, the revenue from the Vincent Chase movies is a drop in the bucket. I simply believe it would draw more attention to the parent company - questions from the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times rather than the Hollywood Reporter and Variety - if I were to step down. In my career, I've been through - pardon the language - some real shit. I've had the corporate rug pulled out from under me, had former employees try to expose my..... direct approach, and even fought Gary Busey one-on-one. And you know what I've learned from all of that? What pearl of fucking wisdom I've fisted oysters to get? Just this. People will criticize assholes briefly, but they'll never tolerate a quitter. OLD WHITE BOARD MEMBER #1 Give 'em hell, Ari. OLD WHITE BOARD MEMBER #2 We're with you. ARI looks over at Sandra, recognizing that this will be a KEY CONFLICT of this season. The two will be locked in a corporate struggle until Sandra is destroyed or turned into an ally. With the leaky corporate dam temporarily plugged, we turn back to..... INT. THE BOY'S PAD TURTLE So when do you want to do this Ask Me Anything, Drama? DRAMA Whoa, there's a whole Johnny's Bananas page? TURTLE That's not a page, Drama. That's a whole subreddit. DRAMA Sweet. Uh - I don't know. I'm going to be pretty busy going over the new idea with Walsh. TURTLE Nice, how's the auteur's creative process? DRAMA It's amazing, Turtle. There hasn't been anything like this since the Sopra- I'm sorry. TURTLE Nah, it's cool. I'm glad that Jamie's doing well. And I'm happy for you Drama. DRAMA Thanks, Turtle. The script's a fucking mess, though. Billy's a genius but all he's got is like 5,000 pages of scrolls and parchments and shit. TURTLE The crazier the genius, the better their work. Look at Einstein, Van Gogh, Cage. DRAMA John Cage? The experimental mu- TURTLE Nah, playa. Nic Cage. DRAMA Oh, yeah, well Walsh's certainly crazy enough. I just gotta keep an eye on him so he doesn't - We hear glass breaking elsewhere. TURTLE What the fuck? DRAMA You heard that too? DRAMA grabs a convenient baseball bat. Then there's a time-killing scene of Turtle and Drama creeping through the house. Drama makes comically serious military gestures to Turtle who ignores them - or possibly makes jerkoff gestures in return - like the cool guy he is. This culminates in Drama and Turtle stopping at a corner to coordinate their action. They jump out to face the presumed intruder while yelling the next lines simultaneously. DRAMA I know kung-fu! TURTLE (MAKES VOCAL GUNFIRE NOISES) Cut to the boys' perspective, revealing the intruder to be none other than Sundance Winner Billy Walsh. WALSH Hey! The Karate Kid! And Steve Rifkind! The fuck? Don't you boys answer doors anymore? TURTLE Sorry Billy, we didn't hear ya. WALSH Yeah, I'm sure you get selective hearing when you're busy banging each other. Anyway, Drama, sorry I let myself in but I need to talk to you about the project. DRAMA No problem, Billy. As a matter of fact, we were just discussing it- WALSH I thought I swore you to secrecy. DRAMA I crossed my toes.

BILLY Alright, so I've got a sense for the main character, a killer first season arc, and I've been playing around with some regional slang. There's just something missing, though. DRAMA Have a seat and we'll brainstorm. Turtle grabs a bong labeled "Medellin." INT. E'S CAR I've said it before about Vince's car, but it applies to E's car to a slightly lesser extent. This car makes a dick relatively hard and a pussy kind of wet. Oh, maybe there's a car seat in the back though to reflect E having a child with Sloan. Because Entourage is nothing if not attentive to character details. E So, back to the house? VINCE Fuck no, I'm starving. Let's hit Don Peppe's. E Don Peppe's? Vince, you heard Shauna. You're supposed to lay low. The first place the paparazzi will look for you is Don - VINCE E - since when did we let other people dictate what we do? E Alright, but let's make it quick. Outside shot of the car speeding by, reminding us that we're just spectators in this fast-paced world. INT. THE BOY'S PAD DRAMA So he's got a fear of being broke and an obligation to his family..... (Pauses to think) What if there was a manipulative mother or overbearing father?

BILLY Sopranos! DRAMA Oh. Uh..... Nagging mistress? BILLY Boardwalk Empire. DRAMA Fuck. TURTLE What if..... (takes another hit off the Medellin) What if he's got a best friend. Who's not part of the mob. And he tries to stop him? BILLY Hmmmm. And he'd have another criminal associate. DRAMA Devil and Angel on each shoulder. BILLY Like Miles Teller in Whiplash DRAMA Or Chris Pratt in Guardians. BILLY (pauses) I love it. Thanks boys. Billy picks up his parchments. BILLY I gotta get back to it. My creative juices are flowing and now I just have to ejaculate them out on the page. Billy runs out, slams the door behind him. Brief pause, then..... DRAMA God, I hope that was a metaphor. INT. ARI'S OFFICE As CEO AND CHAIRMAN OF AN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY, ARI now has an even nicer office with many FINE THINGS, a better view, and maybe nicer-looking people walking around outside of it. Ari's Assistant aka Kid Cudi aka "Lloyd" enters. "LLOYD" Mr. Gold, Ms. Kim's here to see you. ARI What does she want now? "LLOYD" I don't know, she just said it would be a brief chat. ARI Well, show her in. "LLOYD" shows Sandra (who's very cordial) in, then exits like the servant he is. Ari is more guarded. SANDRA Ari! ARI Sandra. SANDRA Look, Ari, I just wanted to say I'm sorry about my suggestions during the meeting. It was nothing personal, I was just looking out for our corporate..... ARI Oh, nothing personal? The way your tried to forcibly retire me? SANDRA Merely temporary- ARI (mimics "merely temporary") Maybe I should call for your temporary leave. Or maybe it'd be good for you to get a better sense for the many facets of the company. Perhaps a few month tour, starting with our plants in Ecuador..... SANDRA Ari, I was worried that you weren't looking at the situation rationally. I know that you've been with him since the beginning, but your loyalty to Vince Chase is-

ARI You're questioning my loyalty? The same loyalty that kept Clint Eastwood with us? The same loyalty that makes sure we don't lose any of our other cash cows? SANDRA Yes, but that's just one part of- ARI And what about your loyalty? You got on the board because you were old business school buddies with Jeff Bewkes at UCLA... SANDRA Stanford, actually- ARI Get the fuck out. Lloyd! SANDRA Alright, Ari. But it's only business. Sandra exits with his back to ARI, while Ari flips her off. ARI Lloyd, I want you to keep tabs on our friend Sandra. She doesn't get a cup of coffee without you recording it. She takes a shit, I want you to describe the bowel movement to me. "LLOYD" Yes, Mr. Gold. ARI And get me Dana Gordon on the phone. Ari sits down, somewhat pensively. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown..... INT. DON PEPPE'S Vince and E chat at their favorite Italian eatery. E Boy am I glad you used that Avion money to get Don Peppe's out here. VINCE I'd have done it just for the baked clams. You know, it's so tough to get real Italian out here. E Really takes me back to Queens. VINCE The [Insert Queens thing], [Queens thing]..... E Turtle getting chased out of 5 Pointz. VINCE (chuckles everyone's favorite Vinny Chase laugh) Don't you ever miss it? E Do I miss managing a Sbarros? Living with my ma? VINCE You know that's not what I meant, E. Remember when I was down after Smokejumpers? Remember how much fun we had back East, just hitting clubs and seeing everyone from the neighborhood? Everything's so monotone out here. There's no spice, no character. Don't you worry that Patrick's going to grow up without any of the adventure that we had? E That may be true, but Sloan's family is out here. Plus, we've been out here, what, 15 years? That's a long time, Vince. VINCE Yeah, although you can take the boy out of Queens, but you can't take the Queens out of the boy. INT. THE BOY'S PAD Drama paces around Vincent Chase's spacious and well-furnished living room while Turtle reads to him from a nice APPLE BRAND laptop. DRAMA Alright, so whadda we got?

TURTLE OrkneyWarrior wants to know when Viking Quest is coming out on BluRay. DRAMA Uhhhh..... Not soon enough. TURTLE The Gokstad says "Mr. Chase, Twin Peaks. Arrested Development. Viking Quest? Any chance my favorite show will get picked up for another season?" DRAMA A Viking never reveals his plans. When the time is right, all shall be revealed. TURTLE Joey72 said "Five Towns sucked di-" DRAMA Next! TURTLE JessMancini called you a prick. DRAMA Jess Mancini? From Staten Island? Still mad about that post-assfucking bike ride, huh..... Don't write that. TURTLE Alright, finally. JCAquaman wants to know how you and Vince get along. Want me to respond that you mooched off him for yea- DRAMA Tell 'em I always loved hanging and acting with my little bro. I used to take him along to auditions and he - he'd cover for me when I'd get in trouble with ma. Not only is he a great actor and friend, he's the best brother a guy could ask for. TURTLE Good response, Drama. That oughtta remind people about how great Vin is. There's about a hundred people writing VICTORIES, then Escobar asks what it was like on the set of Medellin. DRAMA Tense. Tough. Too many geniuses can ruin the stew, but Vince was a champ through it all. I think the people are beginning to appreciate and understand what he did and what a complete actor he is. Not only that, be he defused a lot of potential catastrophes. TURTLE Alright, let's wrap it up. Last one. We've got one from Ronald1 about Johnny's Bananas being the new Simpsons or one from Vince4Prez asking how Vince feels about the leak. You wanna do the Simpsons one? DRAMA Nah, tell him thanks for the compliment and say that I hope we do 30 seasons. But tell Vince4Prez that while we're upset about the violation of Vince's privacy, we appreciate the support offered from all over. I can't speak for Vince, but to whoever did this - tell them Johnny Chase is coming. INT. DON PEPPE'S E and Vince are eating delicious baked clams at Don Peppe's. E So, you haven't really mentioned it, but how's Sophia taking all of this? VINCE Pretty well. Luckily, it's not on every station in Africa the way it is here. E And did she offer any advice- VINCE Same as Shauna, lay low..... Two babes walk up to the table, interrupting Vince and E's conversation. It's really the height of rudeness, the boys were just trying to have their lunch and live their lives. But it is introducing some women into this sauseej-filled season. BABE 1 Hey Vince, remember us? VINCE Sorry, I don't..... BABE 2 Maybe this will jog your memory..... Babes lift their shirts. Or maybe drop their pants. Whichever way, photographers come out of the woodwork and start snapping pictures. E Vince, we gotta get out of here. A paparazzi shoves E, E punches him. A brawl ensues, which we see in long shot before we cut to the credits. De La Soul's "In the Woods" plays. Don't worry, we'll get to Turtle's music business soon.
