Season 04: Episode 45 - Malibooty
By admin | August 8, 2007
Directed by: Ken Whittingham
Written by: Rob Weiss
In a major role-reversal, Vince and the guys are crashing at Drama’s place. While Turtle tries to identify the senior Chase’s whacked-out health food - “What’s a psyllium husk, anyway?” - the man of the house returns, offering bagels and good news. Donna Devaney, an L.A. party girl from Drama’s surprisingly lengthy past, has finally agreed to hook up with him. Plus, she has a hot friend for Turtle. Vince and E aren’t sitting so pretty with the Medellin cut, so E tries giving Walsh some notes to spruce up the film. Predictably militant about protecting his vision, Walsh won’t cooperate, and making things worse, has already sent a print to the Cannes Film Festival. E runs to Ari for a solution and settles on the option to ditch Walsh by selling the movie to Harvey Weingard.
Vince rolls with his brother and Turtle, promising not to steal their thunder, and they couldn’t be more thrilled when he hops out at a stop light to join a random hottie in a convertible. She takes him to the home of her “family friend” to go swimming, which turns out to be Dennis Hopper’s beach house. Hopper and his buddies tempt Vince into placing a $100,000 bet - that he can’t cover - on a soccer game. The future holds less uncertainty for Drama and Turtle; their cougars are ready to pounce. Too bad for Turtle, Donna’s “hot” friend Marjorie is twice his age, not to mention twice his size. But, in a typical turn of Drama’s luck, Donna decides at the last minute to opt for Turtle, leaving Drama manhandled by Marjorie in the hot tub. Vince’s soccer win comes through, infusing him with some much-needed cash, but he and E still differ on the direction they want to take ‘Medellin.’ When E says Harvey made an offer of $25 million, Vince throws him for another loop: Cannes accepted the film. “Maybe you should watch it again,” Vince tells him.

Season 04: Episode 44 - The First Cut is the Deepest
By admin | August 8, 2007
Directed by: Doug Ellin
Written by: Mark Mylod
Vince and company return to L.A. after an Italian vacation that wiped out the last of their funds. Drama volunteers his new condo for his baby bro’s “welcome home” party, which Turtle slowly escalates from intimate gathering to all-out rager. While Drama scrambles to party-proof his pad, hiding furniture and padlocking the bathroom, Vince and E meet with Ari to decide which job to take next. Ari delivers the bad news that the industry has placed Vince on death watch; no one will sign him before seeing ‘Medellin’ in case the film bombs a la ‘Gigli.’ But Ari’s problems extend beyond business; some sort of hitch has threatened his son’s admission into the Briar Country Day School, which his daughter already attends. After charming, threatening and bribing his way to an answer from the headmaster, Ari finds out his cell phones and swearing have driven the school over the edge, and blackballing the son is the only way to expel the father. Ari yanks his daughter from class on his way out.
Vince and E try to speed up the ‘Medellin’ release with a visit to Walsh - who’s wearing the only cut around his neck - but the director tears off on a motorcycle to avoid showing them the film. After a day spent hunting for him, E calls from Vince’s party and shames Walsh into screening the movie. As soon as Vince and E leave the condo, Drama ejects the entire crowd, which resettles in Vince’s hotel room, a venue Drama couldn’t care less about destroying. Walsh sweats out the screening by performing calisthenics in the hallway, but after the flick Vince and E congratulate him on a job well done. On the way home, E asks Vince, “You didn’t really like it, did you?” Vince says he thought it was great, but E tells him, “I thought it sucked.” A call from Turtle interrupts the conversation. Anthony Michael Hall has urinated off of Vince’s balcony, and the hotel management didn’t exactly appreciate it. Adding “homeless” to their list of “broke” and “unemployed,” Vince and E head to Drama’s condo to sleep it off.
