So, obviously, that's the bathroom.
And the break room is down there
on the right, obviously.
- Um, what else? - REPORTER: (ON TV)
Amanda Waller will step aside
- as she faces upcoming congressional hearings.
- Oh, check it out. You're on TV.
REPORTER: The president
has appointed Rick Flag
as the new acting director
of ARGUS
- (SCOFFS)
- (REPORTER SPEAKING ON TV)
What?
That's not exciting to you?
I know Waller was all
about self-promotion,
but that's not really my bag.
Yeah, A-Dubs did have
her quirks.
- What?
- Dubs.
- W. Amanda Waller.
- Yeah.
You know,
this post wasn't my choice,
but I'm not sure the president
had any other options, so
My old pal Rick Flag.
- We're old pals now?
- Thought we were.
Are you sucking up to me
right now, Economos?
- Just a little.
- It's not gonna work.
Yeah, well, it was worth a shot.
And this is your office.
Uh, you need anything else?
- (DOOR CLOSING)
- Actually, yes.
I'd like to see a full report
of my son's death.
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) ♪
- Your son?
- Rick Flag Jr. was killed
in Corto Maltese.
I tried to get the files
immediately after it occurred,
but they said it was classified.
As acting director of ARGUS,
I'd like to take a look
at them now.
Is there a problem
with that, son?
No. I it's just
I didn't want, you know,
- it to be upsetting?
- Upsetting?
I think I can handle it,
Economos.
Of cour Of course, you can.
It's just that day
was complicated
and any actions taken
were under the order of Waller,
and most of us didn't even know.
Get me the fucking files, John.
Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

so I thought I'd stop by
and get my hair shit
You can't just come
into this place unannounced.
- I thought you were at work.
- KEEYA: It doesn't matter.
You need to text me
before coming over.
LEOTA ADEBAYO: Why?
Because that's
what civilized people do
when they break up, Lee.
Thought it was just time off.
What's the difference?
A lot.
Okay. (EXHALES)
I'm sorry.
Why are you going
to see that lunkhead anyway?
He ain't a lunkhead.
He's, like, being really
vulnerable lately.
Sexy new uniform.
You doing okay otherwise?
Other than what?
Other than having to wear
that uniform, I guess.
That's funny?
Man, you just
you're salty for no reason.
- Oh, for no reason?
- I mean.
No reason?
Okay, other than you changing
every single aspect
of our relationship,
every single plan
that we had, overnight?
We were supposed
to be going back to Gotham, Lee.
And now what?
You're staying here
to start a a a spy business?
People gotta follow
their dreams, Key.
- Even you said that.
- Yeah, not when their dreams
are leeching off
of somebody else's reality.

I appreciate it.
That's not what this is.

Did I just accidentally
sexualize someone
that you respect as a friend,
Economos?
It's fine. Whatever.
Well, it's just
'cause I was thinking about
tapping that ass

It's weird they got you
monitoring your own crew.
They do that, you know.
I know.
Make sure your loyalty is first
and foremost to the A.
- ARGUS.

You having a crisis
of conscience here, Economos?
No.
Is that why Bordeaux sent me
to babysit you?
I don't know, man. Look.
I'm just doing my job
like I do every day, okay?
- I don't give a shit.

with the parrot?
- That's an eagle.
- Hmm?
It's a bald eagle.
It's the symbol of America.
Are you telling me
you don't recognize
what kind of bird that is?
Okay, you obviously
have not read my dossier.
I have bird blindness.
(SCOFFS)
Bird blindness?
I can't tell the difference
between one type of bird
and another.
Okay, but a duck and an eagle
are totally different sizes.
Yeah, well, they look
the same size to me, man.
(SIGHS) What about,
like, a hummingbird?
Tiny bird?
Incredibly fast wings? Hovers?
ECONOMOS: Yeah, see?
Yeah, I only know
about that because I read it.
- ECONOMOS: Yeah.
- To me, they look and move
just like any other bird.
- Wow.

It's my sole weakness.

It's a dimensional portal
that leads
to 99 other universes.
- In your bedroom?
- It's my dad's bedroom.
Yours now?
Yeah, fucking mine now,
whatever. (SIGHS)
I don't use it much.
I let Eagly fly around
there sometimes
when it's too cold outside.
- It's my dad's.
- You never told me about it.
Never thought about it, Ads.
Jeez, it's not that big a deal.
Get the fuck out, it's not.
I grew up with it.
It's normal to me.
It's like you being a fucking
Christian Scientist or whatever.
- I'm not Christian Science.
- What are you then?
Well, I don't practice much,
but I'm Methodist.
- Oh yeah?
- LEOTA: Yeah.
I don't know
what the fuck that is!
Okay? Normal to you, but to me,
it's wacky Martian shit.
You cannot seriously be
comparing me being Methodist
to you having
a secret dimensional portal
- in your bedroom right now.
- I see your point!
Fine.
Fucking congratulations, Ads.
You're the winner
of the conversation.
We'll get you your gold medal
and your congratulatory watch,
and, you know,
your fucking many awards
to shower you with.
Let's all get together
and do a big
fucking dance routine.
Yeah, that's right. Great.
Just 40,000 people

just about how
fucking awesome you are
at doing conversations!
Shit!

I don't know. (BREATHES HEAVILY)

I had a rough night.
I don't want to make it worse,

- You want my advice?

Number one, this portal?
Don't use it because, somehow,

They're gonna treat you
like you're hiding
a nuclear weapon
in your house, Chris.
Just tell them you don't
know exactly what it is.
It's your dad's, or whatever.

they're going to use this

- No, I don't.
Super nerd.
Pokémon is plural, not Pokémen.
Well, I'm sorry.
Pokémen's grammar
is not my bag, man.
When, uh,
you were learning that,
I had two hot bitches
sucking my dick.
Mm.

Thank you. (CHUCKLES)
- Well, that's gross.
- What?
There was no time at all
between her flushing that toilet
and coming out of the bathroom.
That means she didn't
wash her hands at all.
- Okay.
- "Okay"? (SCOFFS)
Personally, I don't think
gonorrhea hands are "okay."
- What are you pissed off about?
- I'm not pissed off.
Fine, 'cause I don't
need it today, Adrian, okay?
Fine. Why am I here?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Dude, I fucked up.
Oh, I see. You're in trouble
and you call me.
But you have a party
and you fuck a bunch
of major hotties
and then you don't even
invite your best friend?
Why do you always pretend
like you're not pissed off
- when it's obvious?
- I'm not pissed off.
I didn't say I was pissed off.
Is it surprising? Yes.
Is it outrageous?
Absolutely, it is!
Yeah, I was depressed.
Okay? It was
a spur-of-the-moment thing.
I was just
drowning my sorrows in flesh.
It had nothing to do
with friendship.
And to be quite honest, Adrian,
you don't even
seem that into sex.
Dude, I'm not into sex
because, like, it's sex.
I'm into sex because,
like a lot of people,
it's an opportunity
to bond with my best friend.
That's not like a lot of people.
Well, I'm not a pervert,
is what I'm saying.
I don't quote-unquote
"like" sex.

going to that thing tonight?
- The thing with Smith?
- Yeah, I know what she means.
Yes. Why?
He says he'll be there
with bells on.
He said he'll be there
"with bells on"?
Well, I added the bells part.
Sounded more poetic.
Okay, Agent, don't do that.
Don't embellish shit.
Sorry, Chief.
It won't happen again.
Flag thinks
we should keep Economos
in the cold on this.
Okay.
SASHA BORDEAUX:
So, after he and Smith leave,
I'm sending you

to do a full scrub

Come back for something?
Yeah, he's going to a party,
a get-together with friends.
Oftentimes,
people will buy a gift
like a bottle of champagne,
a a housewarming thing.
Isn't a housewarming gift
solely for people
- who just moved into a new home?
- FLEURY: No.
It's any gift that you give
to someone in their house.
- It warms the house.
- No, it's not.
It's just for people moving
into a new place.
- That guy
- Vega.
- Vega. He's right.
- None of this matters.
The point is, is that when I go
to someone's house,
I will often buy a gift,
then I forget the gift.
And then I don't remember
until I'm halfway
to the place I'm going.
Well, personally, though,
I just say fuck it.
I forgot it.
I just want to party.
- Get lit.
- Yeah, I love to get lit.
Bonus, you can drink
the champagne afterwards
by yourself.
