Good Fortune (2025) Movie Script

1
Is this the line for "There Will Be Buns"?
You know it.
Any idea how long the wait's supposed to
be?
Uh, they said about two hours.
Wow. That's a long time
to wait for cinnamon buns.
Is this your first bun?
They're incredible.
I'm actually not that big on sweets.
Then why are you here?
Oh, I'm on TaskSergeant.
I'm actually getting paid to wait in line
for someone else.
Mmm, that... sucks ass.
Did you go to college?
Uh, yeah, I went to college.
Why are you a laundry man?
I'm not a laundry man.
I'm doing TaskSergeant.
Did you not do good in college?
Hey, yeah, I'm still waiting on those
buns.
They said it should probably be another
hour.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to be an archaeologist.
Let me tell you how that's gonna go.
You're gonna major in archaeology,
and then you're gonna get out.
And there's gonna be no archaeology jobs.
I've been an adult a long time.
You know how many archaeologists I've met?
Zero.
Okay, Arnold, meet...
your new desk.
So now you got no job, a useless degree,
and a ton of debt.
What happens then?
Well, I hope you like it here,
because guess what?
You're moving back home!
You need some money.
So you start doing TaskSergeant.
You take every part-time gig you can get.
You're working all the time.
But you never have enough.
I know you got a lot of big hopes.
I used to be a little Indian kid,
too.
But I got news for you, little man.
The American dream...
is dead.
Yeah, I probably shouldn't have said that
stuff.
So sorry, guys.
- All out for the day.
- What?
I'm gonna fuck this place with one star.
Hey, it's Arj from TaskSergeant.
Uh, I'm so sorry.
They actually sold out of buns.
Yeah, you won't get charged for the buns,
but please don't cancel the task,
because then I don't get paid.
And, you know, I did wait, like,
two hours.
Okay. Thanks for
understanding. Bye.
- There are my buns!
- Hey.
Oh, thank you so much.
Ooh, bag's still warm. Love it.
- See you soon.
- See ya.
Who's that guy? How'd he get some buns?
He's one of our investors.
Canceled? You said you weren't
gonna do that.
God damn it, David H!
Fuck my life.
Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
Sure.
Elena from Lumber.
Arj, floor associate.
Sometimes power tools.
Are you happy with the work environment
here?
No.
Exactly.
We know they can do so much better here,
and that's why I'm trying to start a union.
I'm just working here part-time,
save some money, and then I'm moving on.
Okay. Well, just because
you're not gonna be somewhere
forever doesn't mean
you can't make it better.
Nothing ever changes.
So what's your answer?
Give up?
I don't have an answer.
Okay, Arj.
Floor associate.
Best of luck to you.
Thank you.
Smellin' good.
Oh, you guys are at a sweet dinner,
oh, damn.
So there is my jam.
Um, okay.
Have a good night.
Hey, I got four.
You want some of mine?
- Yeah.
- All right.
Come over here, Elena from Lumber.
- You cool with these fixings?
- I am.
I went a little heavy on the green sauce.
That's always good.
So how you been sleeping, man?
You look a little tired.
Oh, thanks for noticing.
It's a new look I'm going for.
Sorry.
Uh, no, I haven't been sleeping that well.
You got any tips?
Actually, I do.
I've been using sleep stories on my phone.
Pretty much I just listen to this guy talk,
and he's so boring that I just knock out.
- I gotta give it a try.
- Works every time.
So what do you do all day when you're so
well rested?
I make furniture.
Yeah. That's why I
started working at Hardware
Heaven, so I can get
some of those discounts.
What about you?
What do you do?
Um, I'm an editor.
I edit documentaries, things like that.
I love documentaries,
what you working on now?
Right now I'm just doing freelance stuff.
I'm hoping to get another proper gig soon.
You'll get another one.
Keep your dreams alive.
I once dated a girl that had that tattooed
on her lower back.
Oh, yeah?
Where is she now?
I think she's dating this DJ.
Elena?
With the cinnamon bun guy?
Have you ever been to a rave?
No, I haven't.
Don't take the drugs.
I think I'll just take the drugs and just
not go to the rave.
What about that option?
Love that.
Hey, how is the new apartment?
Um, it's cozy.
Great, great.
I was talking to Aisha aunty.
Your little cousin Naveen got a really
good job at Microsoft.
He's making lots of money.
Good for Naveen.
Maybe he can help you to get a job.
I'm an editor.
I work on documentaries.
What am I gonna do at Microsoft?
Maybe you can do a documentary about
Naveen.
He's very smart, successful, well-dressed.
Okay.
Well, I'll think about it.

All right, everyone, let's gather around.
And there he was, this
lost soul, his head in his
hands, about to jump
headfirst into Niagara Falls.
As he lurked over the edge, panic filled
his eyes as he thought, oh no,
is this the end?
I put my arm on his shoulder and said,
Kenneth, I'm an angel.
My name is Azrael.
I'm here to save you.
I showed him what he had to live for.
Visions that reflected the hope his life
promised.
Cheering his son at a soccer game.
Holding his wife on the couch on a lazy
Sunday.
Playing in the park with his dog.
Shoelace.
I see now that my life was precious as it
was.
Thank you for showing me my path,
you are a special angel.
Martha?
Yes, Gabriel.
Is there any way I can have more
meaningful duties like Azrael?
I want to guide people.
I want to change their lives.
I want to save a lost soul.
To save a lost soul, you have to find a
lost soul.
Finding a lost soul is not easy,
Gabriel.
And showing them a path is...
it's incredibly difficult.
But I saw a person today.
His job is waiting in line.
He's ready to give up on his life.
But that's not your task, is it,
Gabriel?
How's the texting and driving going?
It's a lot.
People really love doing it.
What do you have this week?
Um...
I'm supposed to save a woman named Elena
who works at a place called Hardware Heaven.
She almost backs into a telephone pole.
But you're not gonna let that happen,
are you?
No, I'm not.
One step at a time.
Customer service needed in plumbing.
Last for customers only, sir.
You can't sleep here.
I know.
I was just about to go get some groceries.
Where?
Really?
Looks like you covered up your windows and
went to sleep.
I know that's what it looks like,
but... Let me catch up here again.
Okay.
Yo, Arj, my Indian brother.
What's going on, man?
Hey, what's up, Leonard?
You know, you don't have to mention I'm
Indian every time you say hi.
Oh, my bad.
You Pakistani?
Just forget about it.
Uh, you good?
Oh, yo, quick favor.
You got some toothpaste like a bar?
I'm all out.
Uh, yeah.
Here you go.
Aw, thanks.
Oh, you don't have the one with the little
whitening crystals, do you?
I got a big date tonight.
No, sorry.
What's up with this big date?
Oh, yo, this girl Susan, she works at the
CVS at McBurbank.
I asked her, I said, yo, why you smell
like blueberries?
And now we're going on a date.
That worked?
Hell yeah.
Dude, girls love it when you know smells.
That shows you know these things.
Try it.
Go up to a girl and be like, yo,
girl, you smell like a new car.
Girl, that's everyone's favorite smell.
Well, why didn't you tell Susan she
smelled like a new car?
Because she smelled like blueberries.
Yep, that makes sense.
I'll see you later, Leonard.
Just give me the toothpaste tomorrow.
Yo, later, man.
Arge?
Uh, yeah.
I'm here to clean out the garage.
Nice, nice.
I'm Jeff, a pledge.
Wait, were you at There Will Be Buns the
other day?
Yeah, love that place.
Line's pretty brutal, though, huh?
Hope so.
I'm an investor, so he likes a long line.
My buddy David Haberman, you know what he
does?
He pays a guy to wait in line for him.
You should try that.
Hmm.
That's a good idea.
Garage is this way.
How long you been doing task, Sergeant?
Uh, a few months.
Oh, gotta say, they've been a lifesaver
for me.
My assistant left a little while ago.
Whoa.
Is that a real 930?
The Widowmaker, right?
Uh, honestly, I have no idea.
I've never even driven it.
I can't drive stick.
What?
You gotta learn.
I will.
But first, the garage.
So, I need all this stuff put in these
plastic containers here, and I'd love it
if you could breathe some new life into
these pool floaties.
I miss this T-Rex.
He's my boy.
I gotta head back to the cold plunge.
What's that?
It's like a really, uh, freezing cold tub
of water.
And I sit in there for three minutes,
and then I run to my sauna for 15 minutes,
and then I go back and forth four times.
It's supposed to be very good for your
circulation.
Does it work?
Honestly, I have no idea.
Uh, if you need me, just knock on the
sauna.
All right.
Okay, let's get cold.
Fuck!
Time to plunge.
Holy fuck, look how clean my garage is.
Five stars, man.
Thanks.
Sorry, I got a bit peckish while you were
in there.
You want some burrata?
You a burrata boy?
Uh, not really familiar.
You're shitting me.
You.
You gotta try it.
It's the best.
All right.
Goddamn.
Yeah.
That is some creamy cheese.
Good shit, right?
Yeah.
I guess I am a burrata boy.
Welcome to club.
All right, ma'am.
Thank you.
Really.
Yeah.
Um, so are you looking for an assistant?
I am.
Would you ever consider me?
I mean, we just met, and, you know,
I got a lot going on in my life.
Yeah.
Like what?
My current to-do list?
Uh, fix my pool heater, get new house
slippers, get a disco floor for my party,
and find a shaman to take me on an
ayahuasca journey.
That really runs the gamut, but I can do
it.
You know what?
I really like your vibe.
And I am very digging this initiative that
you're showing right now.
Why don't we do a one-week trial,
see how it goes?
I'm in.
Nice!
Burrata boys for life!
Well, for one week.
If that goes well, then for life.
It's a good life.
Hey, ayahuasca.
I'm getting in with a shaman named Tammy.
I know it doesn't sound too shaman-y, but
apparently she's George Clooney's shaman.
Ooh, he seems very zen.
Yeah.
Book Tammy.
All right.
Jeff is in.
Uh-huh.
No, the non-alcoholic is in.
The beverage space is exploding.
Yeah, uh, that sounds good.
Yeah, just send me the deck.
I'll check it out tomorrow.
Thank you.
Did you salt the rim on this?
What are you, a magician?
Uh, disco floor.
I found these super-chill Armenian
brothers.
They can do it.
They just need to know how big a space it
is.
Uh, it's that whole room in there.
Oh, whoa.
You're having a disco floor in your house?
Yeah, it's, uh, my 40th is coming up,
so I'm gonna blow it out a little bit.
I've been working with this, uh,
dance choreographer, Shabie.
He's teaching me a whole routine and
everything.
Nice.
Right, so you go arm and back.
Yeah.
And then one.
Yo, Arch, will you film this in case I
want to watch it back later?
Yep.
Yeah, I got you.
Awesome.
Good.
Okay.
Ready?
From arms.
From arms, you go.
You.
Everybody.
In.
Love.
Yeah!
That was awesome.
You got that?
That was good.
Yeah, yeah.
My friends are gonna freak out.
I know you've been looking for something
special for your 40th.
I think I found the watch.
Check out this caseback engraving.
Oh, Pretty Baby.
I love that.
How much is Pretty Baby?
I'm gonna do it.
Jeff, cool guy can come fix a heater next
week.
Perfect.
So besides that, you just have that Zoom
in 10 minutes.
Oh, great.
Two things for you.
You got a parking ticket.
I put it downstairs in the kitchen.
Yes.
And I got you a company credit card for,
you know, expenses and stuff.
Whoa.
Sonoboss LLC.
The one and only.
Can I ask you something?
Yeah.
What the fuck do you do?
Oh, um, I run a VC firm.
We invest in smaller companies.
Hey, how's it going?
I was about to head over to pick you up,
all good?
Hey, look, I'm not one to flake,
but I was driving my cousin's car and I
was trying to send
somebody a video of this dog
doing back flips and I
backed into a telephone pole.
I'm totally fine, but I should probably
deal with this.
Oh no, I'm so sorry.
That sounds really annoying and kind of
cute.
Be careful texting and driving.
I will.
Is there any way we could do another day?
Like tomorrow even?
Of course.
Okay, see you tomorrow then.
Bye.
Bye.
Your session is complete.
See if you can bring some of this
mindfulness into the rest of your day.
Meditation over!
Did you finish unpacking all those clothes
I got?
Yeah, almost.
Love this guy.
Yeah, it's fresh, huh?
Yeah.
So, let me show you something real quick,
okay?
Sure.
So, God forbid, any shit goes down,
just want you to know...
I have a gun.
It's in this drawer right here.
Here's the safe.
The code is 1244.
Whoa!
I'm not a big gun guy.
I'll probably just hide if that's okay.
Hey, I'm not a big gun guy either,
but there was like a bunch of home
invasions in the neighborhood and I got
spooked.
So, Maurice, he's my gun trainer.
He says if someone's in your home, the
most important thing is do not hesitate.
You shoot first and you ask questions
later.
They could be on meth or something.
You don't know.
Troubling times, my friend.
Oh, also, I need you
to call Dunsmore and
make me a dinner
reservation for Friday night.
Just tell Matias I'm coming in.
He'll give me a nice table at the bar.
Um, sure.
Oh, by the way, I was gonna ask.
I actually got a date tonight.
Is it alright if I head out after this?
Yeah, you got a hot date?
What's the plan?
Uh, something low key.
Probably go get tacos.
Tacos?
What?
Do you not like this girl?
Yeah, I like this girl.
Do you not like tacos?
How did you guys meet each other?
Uh, we kinda met at a taco place.
And you're going for more tacos?
That's too many tacos, man.
That's an all taco relationship.
That's a lot.
Yeah, yo, go to Dunsmore.
That's nice.
She'll like that.
It's not too pricey, is it?
No, no, no.
Not at all.
And make sure you get the ribeye.
It's great.
So let's talk about the ensemble.
Is this what we're wearing on our date?
The coffee stain and all that?
I guess.
My little jacket.
I got this little jacket.
I bought it a while ago, and I haven't
returned it.
It's a little teensy on me, but it could
be perfect on you.
Yeah, you can borrow it for the date.
Ooh, it's nice.
Like a glove.
I feel like Kevin James in Hitch.
That makes me Hitch in Hitch.
Ha!
He's a cool guy.
Thank you.
I like your jacket.
Oh, thanks.
You look very nice, too.
Thanks.
Um, I'm so glad we did this.
Me, too.
Yeah.
At first, I kind of hated you.
What?
What did I do?
I mean, you were just so like,
I don't believe in much.
Oh, come on.
I didn't talk like that.
Oh, I don't know.
I know.
Yeah, that was you.
And now look at you.
Hey, guys.
How are we tonight?
Hey, how are you?
Good.
Thank you.
So what are we thinking food-wise?
My friend said we definitely have to get a
ribeye.
It does look very good.
Oh, it's a signature dish.
They grill it right on the fire.
It's so good.
All right.
Cool.
Cool.
Thanks.
So we usually say about three to four
plates per person.
All right.
Everything is shared, family style.
And we have some amazing wines, if
you want to talk to our sommelier about it.
Okay.
Cool.
I'll give you guys a minute.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
I am so good without the ribeye.
Yeah, it's a big stink.
Maybe we do the trout.
Trout sounds perfect.
Yeah.
I'm actually super
easy, and they said
everything's meant to
be shared, so let's share.
Yeah, let's share, family style.
Yeah.
It's a small family.
Just the two of us.
No kids.
I'm telling you.
I used to kill it in my school talent
shows.
Really?
What was your talent?
Dancing, everything.
Oh.
What did you sing?
Hey, team.
Here's the bell whenever you're ready.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Wow.
We should definitely split this.
No, no, no.
I'll get it.
You sure?
Yeah, yeah.
Don't worry about it.
It's my treat.
Thank you.
This was...
This was so lovely.
Hey, Args.
Hey.
You're welcome.
You get my email?
Are you all set for ayahuasca tonight?
Yeah.
Um...
Did you use my card to buy yourself dinner
last night?
I... I talked to your
accountant about that.
I...
I'm gonna pay you back right away.
I just got in a little bit of
a jam at Dunsmore, and
the waitress recommended
an expensive bottle of wine.
I didn't know what to do.
You can't do that.
I totally get that.
It won't happen again.
And I'm gonna pay you back as soon as I
can.
I'm really sorry.
Uh, we need to stop working together,
unfortunately.
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, I'm gonna pay you back,
man.
You told me to go there.
You said that it wasn't pricey.
Just don't make it weird, OK?
Just thank you for everything,
and I'm really sorry.
Uh, I'm sorry too.
I'm currently full.
Ah.
Have we done this before?
No.
The whole process takes about an hour and
a half, two hours.
Tonight, we're gonna be working with...
Magic mushrooms and ayahuasca.
Alright, the needle is going to go right
here.
Yo, get your little ass up.
You can't be sleeping no Denny's,
man.
I'm sorry.
And the outlets are off.
You ain't getting no juice to your phone.
Hey!
Did you see a golf park down here?
The one with the duct tape on the bumper?
Yeah.
It got towed.
Towed?
Why'd it get towed?
I don't know.
Am I dressed like a cop or a guy that
works at Denny's?
Denny's?
Parking tickets.
Yeah, that'll do it.
They're going to charge you for the
tickets and for the tow.
I'm sorry.
If I knew your night was going like this,
I'd have let you sleep some more, man.
His head's in his hands.
I knew it.
A lost soul.
Arch, I'm an angel.
My name is Gabriel.
I'm here to save you.
What?
Who the fuck are you?
How do you know my name?
Maybe you don't understand.
I'm an angel.
See the wings?
I've been observing you.
I know all about you.
I know you're living in your car.
I know you lost your job with Jeff.
What?
I even know that right
now there's a part of
you that thinks your
life isn't worth living.
But it's not true.
You have so much to live for.
Let me show you.
Holy shit!
What happened?
What is this?
Where are we?
Visions that reflect the hope your life
promises.
I know you've been having trouble finding
work now.
But look.
I get a job driving one of those delivery
trucks?
Yes.
Hey, Arch!
Don't forget the pee bottle, bro.
Why do I need a pee bottle?
Your deadlines are very strict and you
don't have time for bathroom breaks.
Hence, the pee bottle.
Okay.
But wait.
There's more.
I know you're living in your car now.
But look.
Elena and I move in together?
Um, technically, you both move in with her
mom.
Elena, Daryl and Mercedes are coming over
again.
So could you two sleep
in the living room and
fold the couch bed up
in the morning, please?
Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, has anyone seen my air fryer?
I can't find it.
For the millionth time, Jay, I didn't use
your air fryer.
I'm just eating spaghetti mine in my
business.
Oh, fuck it.
Who's that guy?
It's her sister, Patrice's
on-and-off-again boyfriend, Jay.
They live here, too.
Arsh, you mean using my body wash?
I'm missing some body wash.
Seems a bit crowded.
But you both eventually get steady jobs
and move to Texas.
Hey.
What's what they say?
He's gonna have to have the surgery.
Okay.
How much is it?
We can't afford it.
Then what's gonna happen to Dapper?
Does that mean we're
gonna have to... Oh.
Oh, no.
I'm so sorry, buddy.
We have to put the dog to sleep?
Yes.
Let's maybe get out of here.
That's what I have to live for?
Yeah.
What's wrong?
Why are you so upset?
Because my life sucks!
I mean, it's not the worst life in the
world, but damn, man.
Pee bottle?
Dead dog?
I did everything I was supposed to do,
and nothing's working out.
I'm going to be honest with you,
Arsh.
I'm not really supposed to be doing this.
What does that mean?
I'm overstepping my bounds as an angel.
Do you see how my wings are kind of small?
I wasn't gonna say anything, but yeah,
they're on the tinier side.
It means I'm lower order.
I'm normally only in charge of saving
people from texting and driving.
Wait.
You're telling me I have a brain?
Do you have a budget, Guardian Angel?
Kinda.
I'm just trying to help you.
I want you to have hope.
I need to show you that your life is
precious.
That it's worth living.
My life isn't precious.
My life is just in the service of people
like Jeff.
The people who actually get to live and go
on vacations and do coal plunges.
You think Jeff's life is the life that's
worth living?
Maybe I can show you that that life is not
all it's cracked up to be.
Sir?
Sir, are you okay?
What?
You must have fallen asleep in your car.
Yeah.
I fell asleep.
No problem.
Get home safe, okay?
Okay.
Good morning, Arch.
Would you like to go home?
Navigating to home.
Estimated drive time, one hour and ten
minutes.
Jeff?
You!
I was just upstairs unloading some
packages that came in.
Those house slippers you wanted arrived.
They're very cool.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
You good?
You need anything?
No, I'm good.
All right.
Uh, I need to go finish up.
Just let me know if you want anything,
okay?
Hey, Jeff.
Yeah?
Whose house is this?
Your house.
Enjoying your new life?
What's happened?
You wanted to have wealth and success.
Here you go.
Take a good look around.
See if Jeff's life is all it's cracked up
to be.
I'll check in on you at the end of the
week.
We'll assess.
But I'm still me?
Yes.
Your name is Arch.
You look like you.
But everything else is Jeff's life.
Both the good and the bad.
What happened to Jeff?
He has your life.
He thinks he's you.
So he's my assistant?
Yes.
So he has to do whatever I ask him to do?
Yes.
So I'm hungry and I want a snack?
He'll get it for you.
Hey, Jeff.
Chips and guac.
Coming right up.
My man.
I'm just going to head upstairs to your
room and finish unpacking those clothes.
All right.
Cool.
Enjoying the pool?
Gabriel the angel.
Can Jeff see you?
No.
Only you can see me.
Well, I got to say, so far, this is great.
You want to hit the pool?
Pop on some trucks?
Hey, Arch.
Just reminding you, you got this meeting
coming up.
You should probably get ready to go soon.
Meeting?
I don't know any of you.
I'm thinking about his work.
What am I going to say?
You wanted to see what this life is like.
Time to get to work, Mr. Mogul.
That's for you.
Oh, God.
Here we go.
Bon apptit.
Oh, my God.
The sushi's insane.
So sick, right?
They fly the fish in from Japan every
morning.
Very high carbon footprint.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Yo, did you check out that launch proposal
I sent over for the event next week?
What'd you think about that?
Uh... Looked good, I guess.
Yeah?
Great.
All right.
Well, yeah, that's all the business we got
to get to today, so what the fuck?
How's life?
Uh, same old.
Just working, coal plunging.
You?
Work has been crazy, man.
I had to fire one of my assistants,
Darren.
Oh.
Yeah, he's a sweetheart,
but I had this big event in
New York last week, and I
put him in charge of vibes.
And then I get there, and the vibes are
just super off.
Hate that.
Yeah.
Wrong kind of candles.
Ugh.
He didn't tag the liquor sponsor in the
media posts.
No!
The event was off a cliff.
The vibes were just tanked.
What was the scent he was supposed to get,
and what did he grab instead?
He's supposed to get sandalwood.
He got vetiver.
Oh!
The whole place smelled like shit.
Those aren't the same smells.
Everybody at the event must have been
furious.
Yeah.
But you know what, though, dude?
I've been reading a lot about,
like, empathy and forgiveness
in this new Jay Shetty
book, so blessings to Darren.
Ah, thank you.
Hey, let me get this.
Dude, no.
Put it on the company.
It was a business launch after all,
right?
Oh, yeah.
Why would we pay?
This was the best lunch I've ever had.
Thank you.
All right, we gotta go, though.
I gotta hit the Cartier store and get a
couple of nibbles.
Excuse me, sir.
Oh, hi.
Can I help you?
Yeah, I'm Grant.
You called me to check out the pool
heater.
Ooh, that's right.
What's the deal?
So, bad news.
The heater's busted.
Probably gonna have to replace it.
Probably, like, 30K for the heater,
another five for the install.
Okay.
Problems with your home?
Some pretty serious expenses.
Must be inconvenient.
Good thing I got a shit ton of money to
cover any and all problems that come my way.
Ha!
See you later, Gabe!
I'm off to the sauna.
So she doesn't remember me at all?
This version of you didn't exist until
today, so you have to reintroduce yourself.
Okay.
Elena from Lumber.
Uh, yeah.
You helped me find some lumber one time.
It was very helpful.
Oh.
Well, I'm glad it worked out.
How's it going over there?
In Lumber?
It's good.
I'm glad.
I was just over in plumbing.
It's a shit show.
I'm Arj.
Nice to meet you, Arj.
If you wanna funk, let me show you how.
Do you wanna funk with me?
Do you have any thoughts, food-wise?
Uh, I mean, we were looking at the ribeye.
Those look very good.
Let's do it!
If you wanna funk, let me show you how.
This wine is drinking great.
And this food is eating great.
Be careful.
You don't give me gout tonight.
It has been such a pleasure serving you
guys, uh, dinners on us tonight.
What?!
No.
What?!
Yes?
What?!
Oh, no.
Fascinating couple of days, I imagine.
Hey, what's up?
You need something?
I'm kinda busy ordering clothes.
So, what are you thinking?
The week is over.
Are you ready to go back?
Go back?
What do you mean?
Don't you see what's special about your
life as it was?
You see how superficial a life of wealth
and success ultimately is?
No.
But have you really reflected on your
experience?
Are you nuts?
I was living in my car.
Now I'm living in this giant house.
I can buy whatever I want, do whatever I
want.
But what about your job?
What about Elena?
What about the pool heater?
What the fuck about the pool heater?
I show you something to make you realize
your life is precious.
You see it, you go back.
You can't just stay.
So it's all over?
You're gonna make me go back?
No, I can't do that.
So if I wanna stay, I can just stay?
Yes.
I have to wanna go back.
That's right.
Then I don't wanna go back.
But you can't do that.
You just said I could.
Ah, shucks.
You guided someone?!
Gabriel, you're not supposed to talk to
people or be visible.
I know that.
Then why did you do this?
He was a lost soul.
I tried to show him that wealth wouldn't
solve all his problems.
And?
It seems to have solved most of his
problems.
Gabriel, you were supposed to help Elena.
What you've done has really changed
things.
She had to cancel her date with Arj,
and that set off a chain reaction.
The date went differently.
Arj lost his job.
And that's what's led us here.
You have to get Arj to go back.
And until you do, I have to take your
wings.
Oh, man.
Turn around.
Hey,
who wants some fresh bubbles?
Whoa!
Justin needs them bubs.
Elena needs some bubs.
Tell me what you think.
Be honest.
Don't lie to me.
Don't lie to me.
How's it drinking?
That's drinking nice.
Yes.
Jeff!
Come here, man.
Have some wine.
Have a little glass.
Oh, wow.
Here, have some.
Have fun.
That's really good.
Yeah.
I should get back to cleaning up,
though.
Good call.
Keep cleaning, Jeff.
Hey!
It's Gabriel!
Gabriel the angel!
Where's your little wings?
I lost them.
Oh, you've been a bad boy.
So no wings.
What does that mean?
People can't see.
You can see me.
I have less powers.
It's very embarrassing.
Uh-oh.
Listen, I know you like this life,
but may I pose a question?
Is this fair to Jeff?
Jeff?
Jeff's chillin'!
Is he?
What are you doing?
Why am I holding my own trash?
Why are you in my clothes?
What's happening right now?
What'd you do to me?
Oh, no.
What happened?
I gave him his memory back, but I think he
may have went into shock.
Is he dead?
No.
Definitely not.
Oh, shit!
Some dude just died!
Let's bounce!
He's not dead!
I hope not.
I did not know you were struggling to the
point that you needed divine intervention.
But you gotta switch back, man!
Give me my life back!
So, what?
I just go back to livin' in my car?
You lived in your car?
Yes, Jeff, I did.
Why do you think an angel got involved?
Cause I had too many roommates?
Okay, that's bad!
And I acknowledge that.
So here's what I'm gonna do.
If you switch back right now, I'm gonna
give you $200,000.
You spent more than that on one of your
watches!
You're lowballing me on your existence?
You live in your car!
I thought that'd be a lot to you!
I don't know... How
greedy are you, Dave?
I'm not greedy!
It's an opening offer!
That's how to go change a car!
This is your entire life?
Counter!
Make me an offer!
Time out, guys.
You can't do that, Jeff.
This is Arj's experience.
You might not remember anything.
What?
Okay.
How's this?
Switch back, or you are evil, and this
angel man will send you to hell forever.
Smite him!
I can't send someone to hell.
That's actually not my department.
Good God, man!
You are very unhelpful!
Listen.
I drive around L.A.
I see the homeless-houseless crisis that
has befallen us, and I did not know that
you were a part of that, and I don't want
you to be.
But that being said, I think stealing my
entire life is a little bit harsh.
You're not a bad person, Arj.
I know you don't want to hurt Jeff to have
a good life.
All right.
I'll switch back.
Yeah!
Fuck yeah!
But I want a few days.
For what?
To do some fun shit, okay?
Come on.
A few days.
Jeff.
You know what?
If that's what you feel you need,
I will do that.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay!
So, in the meantime, can I get a few grand
so I can get, like, a hotel room and shit?
Yeah, yeah.
Let's get you a nice suite at the Chateau
Marmont.
Or how about get fucked?
You fired me because I put, like,
$300 on your credit card.
Why don't you tough it out for a few days?
I see what's happening here.
Eat the rich.
Am I right?
You think because I'm a tech bro,
I can't live your life for a little while?
I can live your life in my sleep.
I came from nothing.
I'm self-made.
You came from nothing.
Oh, I came from very, very humble
beginnings.
What did your parents do?
My father was an orthopedic surgeon,
and my mother practiced law.
Hmm.
At a pretty big pharma.
Hmm.
But that is not the money that I got for
my cell phone tower thing.
Okay.
That came from my grandfather... who owned
newspapers.
You know what?
Enjoy the fruits of my hard work.
I'll be out there just fine.
Okay.
Well, what are you gonna do?
I'm going to give you some space and see
you in a few days.
Bye.
Hey, Jeff.
So, um, since I lost my wings,
I need a place to stay.
Can I move in with you?
I mean, I'm living in this yucky little
motel now.
What, are we gonna share a bed?
I'll go under the covers and you go over.
Or I'll go over and you go under.
Whichever you prefer.
What do you say?
Roomies?
I'll be right down.
So, like, could you fly?
Uh, no.
My wings are too small.
It's not the size of the wing.
Actually, it is.
Oh, that's too bad.
Checkout time.
Hello?
Hello?
One second.
Uh, checkout time.
Uh, I don't want a checkout.
I would like to stay here.
You want to stay?
You pay money.
How much money?
One hundred and twenty-five.
I don't have that much money right now.
If no, how about you check out?
How about I pay you by tonight?
Is that okay?
Okay.
Thank you.
We need to find a way to make some money.
Here you go.
Is there any update on the Huevos
Rancheros for Alex?
Uh, gonna be another fifteen.
Fifteen minutes?
I don't know, man.
I'm double parked over here.
You hear these honks?
These honks are for me.
Order for Alex.
Thank you.
What happened to fifteen minutes?
What do you want me to say?
I hate my life.
Thank you.
Come on, you can't double park.
Let's go.
One second.
Get a pet city job.
Sorry.
Let's go, go, go.
Shit.
Oh, shit.
You hit a car.
I know I hit a car.
I can see that.
I'm used to my normal car has cameras and
sensors and shit.
It beeps.
I need the beeps.
Pizza was yummy!
Five stars!
Nice!
They tipped you a dollar and fifteen
cents.
Dicks!
Jeff, Renee's getting antsy about her poke
bowl.
Yeah, tell her it's on the way!
Why does she need this poke bowl so soon?
Let's pick up some Pad Thai for Martin!
Can I use your restroom real quick?
Drivers can't use the bathroom.
Great, thanks.
Hold up, I'm ready for my food!
Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me.
You're serving this thing before me?
That's how the robots win, you know.
Jeff, Ashley's wondering where the
rigatoni is.
Yeah, well tell Ashley they gave her
rigatoni the last time and then they gave
me chicken parm and now I
gotta go back to the place to
get her rigatoni while they
make a whole new rigatoni.
Just tell her it'll be there soon.
Beep beep, look out!
I'm coming!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Where's the extra ranch, homie?
Oh, uh, I don't like pack the bags,
I just deliver them.
Okay, but I can't eat this amount of wings
with this amount of ranch, you understand?
I agree, that's not enough ranch,
but I don't know what to tell you.
Okay, well one ranch, one star,
bitch.
Please don't do that, fuck!
We made enough money, right?
Yeah, definitely.
As long as this lady lets us pay by phone,
we're good.
No.
No, no, no, no, no!
I don't get paid till the end of the week!
Don't these shitheads know I need this
money now?
You know with all we spent on gas?
We actually lost money today.
Where are we going to sleep?
Let's focus on the positives about the
car.
It's tight on space, but
since we've got separate
seats, it's like we each
have our own little beds.
Maybe we could put a little curtain up in
between for privacy.
Could be cute.
No.
No curtain, okay.
But will you promise to think about it?
Yeah, okay, I'll think about it.
You look... stunning.
You look ravishing.
Listen, I have a crazy question for you.
Do you want to go to Paris this weekend?
What?
Like, Paris, Paris?
This weekend?
Yeah.
I actually have, uh, the union meeting.
I can't, but is there any way we can go
another time?
Uh, it kinda has to be this weekend.
Why's it gotta be this weekend?
I can't really explain, but it just does.
Could you blow off the union thing?
It took so long to get everybody to
believe in this thing.
I don't want them to think I'm not
serious.
Ugh.
What is that noise?
It's... it's frustration, because
there's this one version
of our lives where we both
go to Paris this weekend.
We have this amazing time together,
and instead, you gotta stay here and fight
for better working conditions at hardware
heaven, and that sucks.
Why does it suck?
It's my life.
I didn't mean it that way.
I think you did.
I get it.
We live two different lives.
I'd live in my design studio and sleep on
a futon, and you sleep here.
But this is my life, and I have to fight
for it, whether you think it's worth
fighting for or not.
Ellie, I... No.
Save it.
I'm gonna go home.
Ah!
Got some snacks?
We have a problem.
What?
It's Arj.
I spoke with a colleague.
He had an accident.
He's in a coma.
He's in a coma?
What happened to him?
He was texting and driving.
What?!
I thought that was your whole thing,
to not let that happen!
I'm here.
I couldn't save him.
So what happens now?
We have to wait till he gets out of the
coma.
He has to be the one who wants to switch.
I agreed to switch lives
with him for a few days out
of the kindness of my heart
so we could have some fun.
This cannot be the deal!
I cannot be like this any longer!
I don't like it!
You go talk to your angel friends and you
fix this.
You fix this for me, okay?
I will.
Thank you!
Gabriel, you've been let go.
What?
I'm fired?
This is too big a mess you've created.
What happens to me?
You live out this life as a human.
There must be another way.
If Arj decides to switch back and have hope
for his life, then you and Jeff are fine.
But until then, you're human.
I already feel it.
I'm perspiring.
I need deodorant.
And my stomach feels strange.
I think... I'm hungry?
How will I know when I'm done chewing?
Oh, you've never eaten anything before,
huh?
Um, you know, I think you'll just know.
What if I choke?
I've seen it happen a lot.
Just eat the hamburger, okay?
Wow.
Yeah?
This is nice.
It's like nothing out of spirit.
Yeah, man.
No.
Have a chicken noogie.
There you go.
It happened.
See?
Instinct kicked in.
Oh.
Yeah.
I like this even more.
Yeah.
Have some milkshake.
Wow.
Jeff, could you imagine seeing
strawberries for thousands of years?
And never actually knowing the sweet taste
enclosed in those magical berries?
I can't imagine.
And in all fairness, that's a chocolate
milkshake.
What are we going to do, Jeff?
I'm scared.
We don't have any money, and I'm already
perspiring a lot.
So I looked up online how long the average
coma lasts.
Two weeks.
Not that bad.
You know?
So we just gotta make enough money to last
until this guy wakes up.
Tomorrow, I'll go to my old office.
I know everything about all the companies
they've invested in.
So I'll give them some insight that makes
me look like a financial genius.
They'll hire me on the spot.
It'll be enough money for both of us.
We'll be out of that motel tomorrow.
There you go.
There you go.
You're a big boy, huh?
Yeah, I'm a big boy.
You sure are.
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Did you get the job?
Does it look like I got the job?
No.
They accused me of
hacking into their files,
and then they basically
threatened to kill me.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Chicken nuggie.
Yes, of course I respect patient
confidentiality.
I just need to know, do you have any
Indian dudes there that are in a coma?
Yes, I've actually called many times.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
I don't think they're going to tell me any
more information about this.
It's been three weeks.
I've applied for one million jobs.
I either don't hear back
at all, or it's a scam where
people just want me to
send them pictures of my feet.
Are you listening to me, Gabriel?
Sorry.
The Internet is amazing, Jeff.
I want to help you find jobs, but I also
want to look at photos of baby elephants.
Huh.
Look at this guy.
Bathing in a river.
His name's Oliver.
I cannot financially support the both of
us anymore.
You have to get a job, Gabriel.
A job?
Yeah.
Wow.
I wonder what I want to be.
An architect?
A scientist?
Maybe I want to work with animals.
Oh.
Maybe I could work with baby elephants.
Maybe.
But probably not.
Come on, Gabriel.
You need to move more fast, please.
Do we do any other stuff, or is it just
dishes all night?
Just washing dishes all night.
My first check.
Felipe, my first check.
Good, Gabe.
You're shitting me.
Felipe, there's something wrong with my
check.
What's wrong with your check, Gabe?
There's not enough money.
Where's the money?
They're paying one number and then taking
a lot of money for all these other things.
Let me see, Gabe.
This money goes to the local government,
federal government, your insurance,
and your social security.
That's why it's less money.
I can't make enough money to live off
this.
You may need to get another job.
Another job?
I wash dishes all the time.
When can I do another job?
I don't know.
I have three jobs.
What?
I work here.
I'm a mechanic.
And I do a valet parking at an escape
room.
I thought a job gives me
enough money for all my
things and some extra
money to spend on fun stuff.
Sorry, Gabe.
This is how it is.
How you feeling?
I'm good.
It's a big day tomorrow.
You excited?
Yeah.
I'm ready to go home.
That's good.
So, listen.
Since you've been here, there have been two
guys who have been asking around about you.
Seeming a little bit shady.
One, curly hair.
Pretty bland.
The other guy, long hair.
Very attractive.
He's kind of like a bad boy with a soft
touch.
I know who you're talking about.
Yes, I know them.
Maybe give them a call.
They seem pretty concerned.
You could give the tall one my number.
That's fine with me.
Can I ask you something?
When people have accidents like this,
do they ever have memory issues?
Where's this place?
Stone Canyon Road?
That's my address.
Delivery for Arj.
He's out of the coma.
He's out of the coma?
Jeff?
What the fuck is he doing here?
Is my food the driver?
Hey, thanks so much.
What is happening right now?
You're out of the coma and you're ordering
ramen?
Why didn't you phone me, Arj?
They said this might happen.
Because of the coma, I've been having some
memory issues.
I'm so sorry, but I don't remember you.
You don't remember me?
The pamphlet.
Let me get you a pamphlet.
Here you go.
It's called Dissociative Memory Loss.
It's due to the medications they were
using to treat me after the accident.
It was a pretty serious brain trauma.
Are you fucking with me, man?
Do you actually not remember me?
Maybe we can try to jog my memory.
What's your name?
Jeff!
It's not ringing a bell.
You don't know who I am!
If you read the pamphlet, it could be very
helpful.
The duration of memory loss can vary
depending on the specific cause of the coma.
In some cases, memory may improve over
time with treatment.
In other cases, memory loss...
...may be permanent.
Wow.
That's no bueno.
Did you just say that's no bueno?
No fucking shit it's no bueno!
It's mooey, mooey, mooey no bueno,
Gabriel!
You know what?
I want to talk to God.
Get me God.
I want a meeting with God.
Right now.
That's above my pay grade.
Well, then who's your boss?
Who do you work for?
Martha.
Martha?
You work for an angel named Martha?
Martha.
What has happened to you, Gabriel?
You've just given up.
You're smoking cigarettes now?
Leave me alone, Jeff.
I like it.
It's all I have.
Please don't give up on me.
Do you want to wash dishes and smoke
cigarettes?
Or do you want to get your wings back?
You can get them back, man.
I know you can.
Just think!
This friend, Elena.
She was the one I was supposed to help
originally.
But I didn't, and she went off her path.
Maybe I can help her get back on her path.
And that'll help Arj get back on his path.
And then he'll want to switch back.
And then I'll get my wings back.
And then you'll get your life back.
That's what I want!
I knew you could do it, man!
Good job!
You can do this, Gabriel!
Hey, Gabriel, what are you doing there?
You break this over.
I need you, please.
You need to come back to your restaurant.
Okay, Felipe.
I gotta finish my shift first.
Thanks, man.
That right there?
That's the truth.
At a union at my last
job, all they did was
take money out of checks
and do nothing for us.
Kirby, how could you say that when that's
not even us?
Sounds like the same nonsense to me.
That's not the truth.
What is?
The truth is that one of our team members
had a panic attack on the floor last week.
Picking and choosing which bills to pay,
worried about getting evicted.
And I know she's not the only one that has
to deal with this.
I mean, guys, they're giving us more and
more double shifts, less training,
more responsibilities.
And what do we get for it?
25 cents a raise and a pat on the back?
It is very possible for this place to take
care of itself and the people in it.
But they keep giving us less and less
because we're okay taking crumbs.
So what's it gonna be?
Are we gonna take the crumbs?
Or are we gonna fuck them up?
Yeah.
And you know what else?
Why do we need to give money to taxes and
social security?
That money needs to go to fun stuff,
like chicken nuggies and milkshakes.
Milkshakes are good.
Chicken nuggies are good.
That's the truth.
And dogs.
I petted a dog for the first time the
other day.
Maybe they need to get benefits,
too.
They give so much joy, and what do they
get?
A pat on the head and a biscuit.
It's not enough.
We could do better.
And Hardware Heaven could do better.
For us and for the dogs.
Hey, brother.
What department you work in?
Oh, I don't work here.
I'm a dishwasher at an all-you-can-eat
Korean barbecue restaurant.
Am I not supposed to be here?
Yes.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
You okay, Gabe?
Hey, Felipe.
No, I'm not.
I'm just sad.
I messed things up.
That's why I got fired from my last job.
What did you do?
I was an angel.
I saved people when they were texting and
driving.
Oh, cool.
Nice.
Come on, Gabriel.
Maybe you can put your ring down.
You can be like this.
What do you want?
I want my old chop bag.
I want to fix what I messed up.
Then, let's do it.
You're a handsome, sweet man.
I believe in you.
But you are in a bad place.
We need to boost your spirits.
What are you going to do tonight?
After your shift?
I don't know.
Why?
Let's go dancing.
What do I do?
Just follow me.
Have some tacos.
Wow.
You were texting and driving?
What?
Hey, Gabriel.
That's my wife.
Don't make me get a horse.
Calm down.
That's my vehicle.
Thank you, Gabe.
I saved her.
This motherfucker stole my vacation.
I hope you're having fun.
Dear Value Foodzer Associate.
Next week, we are shifting to primarily
robo-delivery.
Your rating does not meet our threshold.
Your account is terminated immediately.
Fuck!
Fuck!
Fuck!
Jeff?
Yeah!
What's wrong?
This is too hard, man.
Like, how do people do this?
How is everyone not just miserable and
angry all the time?
I don't even have it that bad, and
I'm barely hanging on by a thread here.
In my old life, all I did
was go on vacation and
attend very, very easy
and pleasant Zoom meals.
I want that back!
Shit, it's the pigs.
Just what we fucking need.
Explain to me how I get my car back.
Go down to the impound
lot, pay all of your
unpaid parking tickets
and the impound fee.
Each day your car stays there,
impound fee goes up.
Great system.
Thank you.
This same thing happened to Arch.
What do you mean?
After you fired him, he went to donate
plasma, and then he passed out at a
Denny's, and when he woke up, his car was
towed.
Weird.
What are we gonna do?
I really don't know, man.
We have nowhere to live.
I have no job now.
We just really need some money.
What?
Pretty baby.
My watches.
We can get my watches.
Your watches?
Yeah!
Let's go!
What's going on here?
It's my birthday.
Oh.
Happy birthday.
No, it's Arch's birthday now.
He stole my 40th birthday party.
I don't even know my birthday.
Are you still going to be able to get the
watches?
Yeah.
He doesn't remember who we are.
It's fine.
This is actually good.
I sneak upstairs.
I still remember the code to the safe.
If I can get pretty baby, we're set for
life.
I still feel bad about the stealing.
It's not stealing, because all this is
mine!
Come on!
That's true.
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
You did this.
You ruined my birthday.
Yeah.
The watches.
Yeah, okay, okay.
There's some guys guarding the stairs.
I'm gonna do a lap, try to wait them out,
maybe hit that buffet table.
He even stole my caterer.
God damn it.
I'll be back.
You, you know, do your thing.
Blend in.
She smelled like blueberries.
I'll see you later, Leonard.
His friend from the gym?
Hello.
How are you?
I'm good.
Archie's dad?
Jeff?
No, Tanner, what the fuck are you doing?
Don't lean on the art, man.
This is someone's painting, for Christ's
sakes.
Why was I friends with these assholes?
Yo, Linda, what's up?
Hey, do I know you?
Oh, um, let's just say we knew each other
in another life.
Sick.
Yeah.
Do you know that guy?
He's got the long hair.
Yes.
Kinda tall.
Uh-huh, yeah, Gabriel.
He's an angel.
He's fucking hot.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go sit on his face.
That will really confuse him.
Is Jeff here?
Oh, no.
I've got some mushroom chocolates,
dude.
You want a nibble?
Ooh, chocolate.
Let's go.
Thanks.
Tastes funky.
Can I have another one?
Sure.
Go off, King.
Mmm.
Elena?
What are you doing here?
I am currently serving some salmon
crostini.
Happy birthday.
Thanks, but what's...
I started working for this catering
company on the side.
I didn't know it was your address,
so I got to the house.
Oh.
I gotta get back to work.
Nice dance moves, by the way.
So, how do you know Arj?
Wow.
I don't know if I can say.
Oh.
Can you keep a secret?
Oh, I love secrets.
Well, I used to be an angel, and I
switched Arj's life with Jeff's life.
Oh.
But then Arj didn't want to go back, and
that's how I lost my wings and became human.
Oh, my God.
Are we role-playing right now?
I want you so bad.
No.
Huh?
Oh, I gotta go find Jeff.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Forget about Jeff.
Tell me more secrets.
Yo, what you doing here?
You okay?
I shouldn't be here, Leonard.
This house, this party, it's not mine.
It's like I stole it from someone else.
The Native Americans?
No, not them.
Yo, anybody got set up like this,
they stole it from somebody.
Hey, did you see that server that had the
long hair?
The black girl?
Yeah.
Oh, because I'm black, you think I know
what she is?
You think I can track all the black people
at your party?
That's not what I meant.
We went out a while ago.
She's great, but I'm just too fancy.
Kind of pulled us apart.
You are fancy, but you got heart.
When you saw me, I was just some dude on
the street, and you got me an apartment.
You got me a custom-made tuxedo.
I'm over here eating salmon croissants.
I can't even pronounce the things I'm
eating.
Maybe she just don't know who you really
are.
Hey.
Hey.
Your party kind of winded down.
Yeah, I guess it did.
You okay?
Yeah.
What are you doing now?
Do you want to hang out for a minute?
I got to clean up.
Looks like they're pretty much done.
Come on, what, do you hate me now?
No, I don't hate you.
You know, you're the only
person here I wanted to
hang out with, and
everyone else is finally gone.
What do you say?
You want to dance?
We still got the disco floor.
You were right.
We should have gone to Paris.
Paris?
I thought I could make a difference,
but it was a waste of time.
That's not true.
I lost.
So what's your answer?
Give up?
You're in a huge house with a pool,
telling me not to give up.
To fight.
How can I fight a giant corporation when
I'm fighting just to get by?
My rent went up.
I lost my apartment.
I'm sleeping in my cousin's car,
Arj.
You'll never believe me, but I've been
there.
Even if you have, you're here now.
And it's beautiful.
Damn, I want to go.
I want to go to Paris, but...
I know what's going on on the ground,
down there.
And instead of being up
here drinking the fanciest
wine you got, I guess
I'd rather be down there...
fighting to get more people up here,
rather than just myself.
I gotta go.
Pretty baby.
You shot me!
No, Jeff!
Are you okay?
Why'd you shoot me?
You said don't hesitate!
Shoot first, questions later!
I thought you were a home invader on meth!
I said that?
You remember me?
When I brought you that ramen in Chiosa?
You remembered me!
I knew it!
I'm so sorry!
I'm gonna call 911!
I'm doing that, now!
I knew it!
You lied to me and you shot me!
You're a bad man, Arj!
I can't find my phone!
Use mine!
Arj?
Jeff, are you okay?
Gabriel!
Call an angel that deals with gunshots!
I have no way to contact them, and they
usually work in a different part of town.
I brought you into my life!
I gave you Burrata!
And then you took everything from me!
You lied to me.
You stole all my dance moves.
And then you shot me.
I'm sorry, man.
Why'd you have a gun in the first place?
I didn't think I'd be the one to get shot
by it!
Statistically, you'd be surprised.
Okay, not now.
Is that alright?
Why did you lie to me, Arj?
My life is hard.
Yours is really easy and fun.
Couldn't go back.
But... it's gone on long enough.
Gabriel, how do I switch back?
Well, you've told me.
If you want to switch back to your old
life, it should happen.
Why isn't it happening?
You want to go back because you feel
guilty about Jeff.
But you still don't feel your life,
your real life, is worth living.
You don't have hope.
Just to be clear, he does not
only have to want to go back,
which was what I thought we'd
been going for this whole time.
He has to be psyched about it?
Yes.
Well, why would that ever happen?
No offense.
I don't know what else we can do.
This has been a very stressful week.
May we go back to my house?
Technically, your house?
Our house?
For now.
Can I come?
Yes!
Like it?
Yeah.
I needed this.
It's the back and forth that really makes
the experience.
Yeah.
Should we plunge?
What's that?
Let's go!
Let's go!
You did it!
Two minutes!
You did it, Gabriel!
You did it!
Let's go!
I'm getting a poo!
Yep.
No!
Look, I've been shot!
I shouldn't do this!
I shouldn't do this!
Drive the Porsche?
Yeah.
I mean, I know how to drive manual.
You gotta learn.
I'll teach you.
You please do it.
It looks so fun.
Have a nice swim?
Martha?
Yeah.
I guess.
So, now Arch wants to go back,
but he still can't.
Wow.
I gave you...
the easiest assignment.
All you had to do was give someone a
nudge, they'd look right at the road,
and you were done for the day.
I know.
I just thought I could do more.
Oh, you certainly have done more.
You've been washing dishes, eating chicken
nuggies, smoking, drinking, making
speeches... Oh,
I've seen it all.
How do I get him to have hope for his
life?
I lived like he did.
I understand now why he didn't have hope
in the first place.
Gabriel, sometimes a lost soul doesn't
need an angel.
It just needs another person.
I don't understand.
I know.
But I have hope.
Hey, Gabriel!
You hungry?
Always.
Let's eat.
My two favorite things since I've been a
human are dancing and singing.
Dancing and tacos.
I've been a human way longer.
Still two of my favorites.
Mine too.
Helena?
Hey.
How's it going?
I'm good.
I'm just grabbing some tacos with some
pals.
How are you?
Good.
Here with the Hardware Heaven crew.
We just had a meeting and grabbing a bite
to eat.
A meeting?
We're gonna give it another go at
organizing the store.
You are?
Yeah.
I know I was down about it, you know,
last we talked, but... I don't know, man.
I just realized that change is difficult.
You're changing something, you know.
And no, we won't win right away,
but...
You keep fighting and fighting and
fighting and...
Because of that, you eventually do.
Hey!
I remember where I know you from.
You broke into the break room.
Uh, Milkshake and Chicken Nuggets got into
you, right?
Yeah, that's me.
How's it going?
Good.
Whoa.
Look at Gabriel go.
He's got some moves.
He really got into Cumbia.
Everyone learned to dance except me.
Gabriel.
What's wrong?
I'm a failure.
I've put you and Jeff in a terrible
situation.
It's all my fault.
What?
No, that's true.
You were just trying to help.
My boss told me I wasn't ready,
and she knew the truth.
What truth?
That I'm kind of a dum-dum.
A dum-dum?
You're not a dum-dum.
I'm a dum-dum, and I give up.
You can't give up.
You did.
But, Gabriel, I lost my job.
I lost my apartment.
I lost my job.
I used to be a celebrity.
I was a celestial being, and now I'm a
chain smoker.
I'm addicted to nicotine.
Yeah, but it's not over, is it?
I mean, you came down to show me that my
life's worth living.
Come on.
Let's go.
I tried, Arj.
But it seems you prefer to live in a giant
mansion with a pool to sleeping in your
car and eating protein bars.
But, Gabriel, I never wanted all that
stuff.
I just wanted enough.
Enough to be comfortable.
To not feel like I was struggling all the
time.
If I go back, will I have my car,
a job, anything?
No.
To all those things.
Well, that's pretty scary.
When I got fired, I was scared,
too.
I didn't know what was going to happen.
And a lot of times, it wasn't fun.
Sleeping in your car wasn't fun.
Being hungry wasn't fun.
Washing dishes wasn't fun.
But...
I love being human.
I love dancing.
I love tacos.
I love Felipe.
I love Jeff.
And I love you.
If I go back, what happens to you?
Will I ever see you again?
No.
My job would be done.
I'll be an angel again.
No more tacos.
Maybe I'll leave one out for you,
just in case.
What?
One time, I took my dad for tacos.
And I got him this shirt for his birthday.
And he just spilled green sauce all over
it.
Just completely ruined the shirt,
like a little kid.
And he still wears it sometimes.
Even with all the stains.
Because I got it for him.
He doesn't know who I am, Gabriel.
He just thinks I'm some
random rich guy that
gave him a bunch of
money and got him a house.
Why did he let you do that?
I told him he won a contest because he had
a cool money.
A mustache?
No.
I like this, too.
What?
Being with you.
Laughing.
It's one of the best parts of being human.
It is.
I just wish you had a different angel.
Azrael would never have let this happen.
Who's he?
He's a great angel.
Has giant wings.
Guides people.
He's a rock star.
I think I'd rather have
the guy that's really
into cumbia, chicken
nuggies, and psychedelics.
You're just saying that because I'm right
here.
Nope.
I'm saying it because it's true.
You're my angel.
And you're not Azrael.
You're Gabriel.
But you know what?
I love Gabriel.
I prefer Gabriel.
And I'm not Jeff.
I'm Arj.
And things aren't going well right now,
but... I gotta try.
I wanna see where it goes as me.
As Arj.
I think my life's worth living.
Hey, yo.
Are you okay?
Do you need a ride somewhere?
What?
Your car got towed, right?
Yeah.
Okay, I got you.
Just let me know.
Thanks.
Bet.
Hello?
Dad?
Hey, how you doing?
I'm good.
Actually, uh, I'm not good.
I, uh, I didn't get a new place.
And, uh...
I'm still struggling to find a job.
It's just bad out there.
A lot of people are having a hard time.
But you're going to be okay.
I believe in you.
Thanks.
Why did you lie before, though?
I don't know.
I guess I was embarrassed.
You're always talking about Naveen and
how much money he's making and... Oh, no.
Naveen is in big trouble now.
What?
He's being audited for tax evasion.
He and his friends were a bunch of crooks.
This is going to sound weird, but I'm
really happy to hear that.
And, Jeff?
Before we start, you wanted to bring
something up about food, sir?
Oh, I sure did.
We have to start treating these delivery
drivers better.
I'm talking benefits.
A definite redesign of that rating system.
And we are going to start paying them
more.
Way fucking more.
Why would we do that?
If they want to make more money,
they can just get a better job.
You know what I mean?
We can't all live the good life.
Yeah.
But the main reason we all
have it so good is because
there's a shit ton of
people that have it bad.
Very bad.
And we need them to have it bad because
it's what allows us to have it so good.
But you know what?
There is way more of them than there is of
you.
And one day, they're going to get pissed.
And they're going to get organized.
And they are going to burn down your
fucking sauna.
And they are going to shit in your cold
plunge.
And they, in general, are going to fuck
your shit up.
So fuck these food delivery robots.
Fuck this AI bullshit.
Fuck all of that.
And here's the good news.
If you don't like any of
this, I have the controlling
stake in this company
so you can get fucked.
Hey, Orange.
Don't forget your pee bottle, bro.
