Vince’s ‘Lost in the Clouds’ cash has landed the crew in new digs, a $30k-per-month rental in the hills, but while E struggles to locate the place, actress Anna Faris rear-ends his Aston-Martin. When he gets back to the house, E tells the guys that he and Anna had “a moment” when she gave him her phone number – too bad the digits turn out to be off the mark. Turtle suffers a disappointment as well, announcing that his favorite strain of marijuana has gone extinct. Vince promises to share his stash of the dwindling weed, which Turtle nearly loses during a traffic stop later that afternoon as he returns from the supermarket with some random hotties. E manages to track down his own lady, using a star map to find Anna’s house and finally acquiring her insurance info. He drives her to a meeting – her car fared worse than his in the accident – and when she insists on his opinion about a script she’s attached herself to, E wins her over with an honest assessment of its flaws.
At the Gold house, Ari’s spotlighting a few flaws doesn’t go over so well. A producer from ‘The Young and the Restless’ calls to ask Mrs. Ari to reprise her role as Kendall Scott, and Ari tries to dissuade her by warning, “You left the show when you were 25, and they shoot in High Def now.” Karma comes back around to bite him, though, when he learns his wife will be making out with a hot young Latino named Javier on the show. Ari bribes the young actor with a future in film, but when Javier shies away from kissing Mrs. Ari, she seizes him in a lip-lock. Later, she explains to Ari that all she really wanted was for him to think she’s still sexy. “You’re the beautiful mother of my children,” he tells her as he throws her on the bed.
E thinks he’s en route to some star-studded romance himself when Anna calls to set a dinner date. He meets her, but it turns out she already has a boyfriend and wants to hire E as her manager. When E gets back to the house, Drama taunts him for thinking he had a shot with a celebrity, and all Vince can say is, “She wants you to be her manager? Interesting…”

Season 04: Episode 50 - Gary’s Desk
By admin | August 8, 2007
Directed by: Julian Farino
Written by: Ally Musika
Now that E’s leapt off of Vince’s mountain-climbing movie because of Walsh, he decides to jumpstart his management company with some office space. Vince and the guys mock his new headquarters – a cubicle on the sketchy side of town – but then hunt for a surprise gift to spruce up the place. The perfect piece, a $42k desk once owned by Robert DeNiro, comes at an even higher cost when a sales rep tells the crew that Gary Busey has already laid claim to it. The madcap actor/artist agrees to relinquish his rights, but only if Drama will help him show “The Unseen Faces of the Familiar” by posing for him. Drama takes one on the chin to secure E’s present, but the desk won’t fit through the doorways of his low-rent office.
While E awaits a call back from Peter Jackson’s video-game division, none of the other industry players he approaches have a clue who he is. Even the ad department at Variety laughs him off when he tries to put the word out. Shauna helps the upstart manager by hooking him up with a reporter at the trade magazine, meanwhile Ari has his own business issues to juggle. Hustling to prepare for an annual meeting with top-tier client Mary J. Blige, Ari runs into drama between Jeff and Jim Jensen, a set of twin brothers working for him. It turns out Jeff slept with Jim’s wife. Clearly one of them must go, but Ari finds himself forced to punish the victim because Jeff consistently out-earns his cuckolded brother. Jim, who happens to be Blige’s favorite staffer, drops the scandal at her feet after cleaning out his desk. The R&B queen follows Jim out the door, so Ari fires the remaining twin for good measure. Meanwhile, E’s company strategy doesn’t pan out much better. In the Variety article Shauna arranged, the reporter trashes him as a product of Hollywood nepotism, and the fancy new office Vince sets him up with (primarily to accommodate the desk) only underscores E’s dependence. But just when the manager can’t sink any lower, Peter Jackson returns his call, eager to work with Vince – and glad to have a representative besides Ari to deal with.
