[CAMI] Wow, that looks dangerous.
[GALLINO] It is dangerous.
But there's a beauty to it.
60-40 with a 30% promoter off the top.
I don't loan to lose.
That sounds like a good deal.
We're not done negotiating yet, Cami.
We're done now.
It's my new goal in life, Tommy,
to have you trust me.
[T.L.] Should take me back to the home.
This ain't working.
Did he know Mama?
Did he call her an addict
or something? 'Cause it's true.
[COOPER] How much
do engagement rings cost?
You know what,
you come by the house.
I'm gonna give you my engagement ring.
You understand that
a romantic relationship
with an M-TEX employee
violates the stipulations
of your contract?
You can be good at your job
and enjoy yourself.
You know that, right?
Your grump of a son won't dance with me.
I guess I got a dance or two left in me.
My father's story's over.
Doesn't look like it's over.
You know,
I get the sense she don't trust you.
She thinks I'm gonna lose her fortune.
Well, you're gonna have to
do something about that.
Because when those sharks
smell her doubting you,
they're gonna poison her
with reason to get rid of you.

[WAITRESS SCREAMING]
- Uh, who the fuck are you?
- Waitress,
waitress! Don't rape me!
I'm not gonna rape you.
The fuck's wrong with you?
Tommy, put your dick away.
Don't be scared, darling.
That wasn't about you. [CHUCKLES]
He eats Cialis like M&M's,
runs into door jams
all morning with that thing.
Son of a bitch.
So sorry about that.
- Oh.
- Okay, just leave the tray.
Uh, thank you.
Go ahead.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Nice.
What are you doing, sneaking
fucking hotel workers in here for?
I was trying to surprise you
with breakfast in bed.
Well, you sure as shit did.
That is not the best angle
of your ball sack, I might add.
I'd scream, too. You know,
you've really got to love a man
to look at him from there.
Poor thing.
If she wasn't a lesbian
when she walked in here,
she's a fucking lesbian now.
Where you going?
Getting dressed.
When my husband flashes the waitstaff,
it kind of kills the mood.
Well, honey, you're the one that told me
to take an extra pill last night.
Now what do I do
with this fucking thing? Huh?
Why don't you fuck one of those waffles?
Okay, maybe I will.
Matter of fact, I might fuck
the whole breakfast.
The waffles and the fruit
and the goddamn bagel and the omelet.
Don't you fucking touch my omelet.
Oh, the omelet's the first thing
that's getting fucked.
Don't you fuck my omelet.
You better order another one
because it's fucked.
Way to ruin the weekend, Tommy.
The weekend just started, babe.
And you already ruined it.
- quiet, contemplative music ♪
- [DOOR CLOSES]
Buenos días.
Mm. Buen día a ti.
¿Dormiste bien?
I did. [CHUCKLES]
Why are we speaking Spanish?
I've been practicing.
I can see that.
Well, I just figured,
it's your first language.
I should know how to speak it.
And when you start talking shit,
I'll know what you're saying.
[CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]
Do you know French?
- No.
- Hmm.
Guess I better learn that then.
It's important I'm able to talk shit
about you without repercussions.
It's the corner shop
of any healthy relationship.
"Cornerstone," babe.
Oye, no necesito que corrijas
cada palabra que uso mal.
Okay, what does that mean?
[CHUCKLES]
Looks like I don't have
to learn French for a while.
[LAUGHS]
How was Isabel?
Isabel was a trap.
Did you survive it?
She taught me how to make salsa.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Salsa roja or verde?
Both.
Mm.
You did more than survive.
Two down, one to go.
Mm. You're on the clock, flaco.
Don't make me wait forever.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SHOWER RUNNING]
I want it to be special when I ask.
Having done this once before,
the asking isn't what makes it special.
The wedding doesn't either.
The wedding's for everyone else.
We make the marriage special.
We make every day special, Cooper.
And it's a lot harder than it sounds.
Understand?
I'm trying really hard to listen,
but you're naked and
it's got my brain pretty jumbled.
Men.

Morning.
Morning. You hungry?
Um
I
No? Not a breakfast eater?
[CHUCKLES] No, I I have breakfast.
It's typically
- a juice blend
- Uh-huh.
some yogurt, açaí,
blueberries, if they're wild.
Well, we don't have any of that.
What do we have?
Coffee?
1Sure.
Barefoot.
That's really living
on the edge in West Texas.
- Dirt feels good.
- Oh, yeah?
Till it doesn't.
When something under you
stings the shit out of you.
[CHUCKLES]
When I overcome my shame,
I'll need some help
understanding the mechanics
of the travel trailer toilet.
[LAUGHS] Well, the pedal
is on the floor.
It's like a car.
Below the seat,
you push it halfway down,
it fills the basin.
All the way down flushes it.
Thank you. How about the shower?
There's no pedals in the shower.
It's just like the one you got at home,
you know, just probably
probably much smaller, I'll assume.
[SIGHS]
God, it's beautiful, isn't it?
That's not the word
I would use to describe it.
[CHARLIE] You know that its formation
is a result of tectonic events
a billion or more years ago.
You know, we're sitting
right now on a shallow sea.
And there was this massive
evaporative event,
and then this became an inland sea,
connected down to the ocean by
what we call the Hovey Channel,
formed during the
Permian period, hence the name.
There was massive marine life
in this sea, massive.
And that marine life is now
the oil we all seek today.
We're eating breakfast
on the ocean floor.
Isn't that something?
Yeah.
And you?
- Me?
- Mm-hmm.
- A lawyer.
- Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
So, you like to fight.
I like to beat people
who underestimate me.
Underestimate you?
Which is everyone.
Who underestimates you?
I mean, y-you scare the shit out of me.
You're smart, you're beautiful,
you got a chip on your shoulder the size
of this drilling rig here.
You don't act very scared.
I like to overcome my fears.
Oh, is that what you've been doing?
You know what, I'm a big believer
in only getting involved
with women way out of my league.
Ah. [CHUCKLES]
Okay. And why is that?
If you don't feel like
you deserve what you got,
you'll always work hard to deserve it.
[SNORTS]
- What?
- Wow. Okay.
You know, I bet the ladies
really lap that shit up.
Well, I've never actually
been with a woman
way out of my league till you,
so this is the first test
of that theory.
Oh, now I'm a theory?
No, you're not. You're not a theory.
You're very much real.
You're actually
I'm shocked this is even happening.
Look, you're cute,
good cook and a better kisser,
but the $40 body wash, that's
the reason I'm sitting here.
Sixty-seven.
Oh. Well, that makes me
like you even more.
[CHUCKLES]
Can we shift gears?
Back to bed?
Different gear.
I want to get you in front
of the president and principal
and walk them through
getting this well producing.
Well, I can walk them through
getting it drilled,
but I-I can't guarantee it'll produce.
But you said drilling for gas
was more forgiving.
It is. If the reservoir is proven.
Now, this-this is a wildcat.
I mean, there is gas in the region.
This is a very likely spot for it,
but there's no guarantees for that.
We know where the well produced.
Right. Well, it stopped
producing because it blew out.
Because of a hurricane.
Hurricanes are on the surface.
The well is 30,000 feet below.
I I need a no-bullshit assessment.
What are the odds
that we reach the gas field?
Well, look, I've glanced
at the seismics,
and I need to study the reservoir,
- check the production history
- What are the odds?
Ten percent.
[LOW, DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[SIGHS]
We are spending
$400 million on this drill.
You know, diamonds aren't
expensive because they're rare.
They're expensive
because they're hard to find.
It's the same with our business.
Look, I'm the very best at what I do.
If there's gas in that field,
I will find it.
Just give me time to glance
over the seismics, and
- Sounds like a guarantee.
- Mm-mmm. It's a belief.
- I need more than a belief.
- I can't give you that.
Anyone who says that they can
is lying to you. You know,
Wildcatting it's a belief
and nothing else.
I don't know what wildcatting means.
It's risking it all.
Chips to the middle.
Fortune or failure, caution
to the wind. All on a hunch.
That well produced for eight
years. We know gas is there.
You know gas is there.
Then the well blew,
started pumping water.
Did the pocket collapse?
Were you in a small reservoir?
Were you on the edge of a big one?
I mean, production had little decline.
Hints at a big one, but you don't know.
That's wildcatting.
Now, you can take
all your money to Vegas
and get better odds, but if these hit,
you're not measuring in MCFs,
you're measuring in TCFs.
I don't know TCF.
Rebecca, you work for an oil company.
How can you not know what a TCF is
I'm not a petroleum geologist.
I'm a fucking litigation attorney.
You are the geologist,
so would you be so kind as to
tell me what the fuck a TCF is?
A million cubic feet, MCF.
Trillion cubic feet, TCF.
An MCF of natural gas trades at 375,
so
[SIGHS]
you do the math,
'cause I can't count that high.
But if it misses
- we're out $400 million.
- Yeah.
That's wildcatting.

Were we meeting today?

Please.
You want to have a seat?
- I'm too upset to sit.
- Upset about what?
[SIGHS] I met with Charlie.
Charlie?
Offshore driller?
I thought he went by Charles.
He introduced himself as Charlie.
Oh. To me, it's always been
Charles. Interesting.
Not that interesting. And not relevant.
He says that there's no
guarantee that the drill site
will successfully strike the gas field.
Well, there's never any guarantees.
So many issues could impede success.
He's not talking about impeding success.
He says the likelihood
that we are successful
is ten percent.
Well, that's wrong. Our
success rate on land is higher,
and horizontal fracking
an almost certainty,
- but still
- He seemed pretty certain.
That was producing before the hurricane.
That is number two.
Hurricane didn't cause the blowout.
The timing was a coincidence.
Then what caused it?
This is starting to make more sense.
Monty weighed the odds
between drilling and litigating
and decided he had better odds in court.
If we refuse to drill,
how would you fight this?
Look, I don't know
how Monty convinced them
to pay the claim directly,
but neither do the plaintiffs.
If they did,
they would have presented that
or at least declared it
in the court filings.
That's their case.
As it stands, all we have is
an insurance company
that altered its own policy
with no damages.
The insurance company is
spending 400 million regardless.
Okay.
I think we litigate.
The goal being dragging it out
as long as possible
until we recover the money
from the funds
or the workovers are online
and we can pay out a settlement.
And I need this before a jury.
I don't need a mediator
applying logic here, I need 12
blue collar workers who will equate this
to getting in a car wreck
and the insurance company
sending the check to them
instead of the bank.
I'll write up a change of venue request.
I'll notify plaintiff's attorneys.
Don't notify anyone.
I need Charles to explain this to Tommy,
and then we all need
to explain this to Cami,
and she will be harder
to convince than a judge.
Well, I'll get everything prepared.
When we have the green light,
I'll pull the trigger.
I'm just printing out
something for you to sign.
[REBECCA] What am I signing?
It's a
conflict form.
And what is the conflict?
A romantic relationship with a coworker
who is your subordinate?
[TENSE MUSIC]
Nobody calls him Charlie.
Is it your position that there is
no romantic relationship?
I would not say romantic.
Would you say sexual?
Charles will need to sign as well.
[REBECCA] And the indignity continues.
There is no indignity
and there is no judgement here.
Fine. I'll take it to him.
That could be perceived as coercion.
Please.
This goes on my record.
If I'd slept with him, I'd be the one
signing it and it would go on my record.
I'm just looking out for
the best interests
of the company, Rebecca.
So now you present it to the board.
Correct.
Well played, Counselor.
- I'm not playing.
- Yeah, I can see that.

Oh, God.
Hi, Rebecca.
There's my little pirate's wench.
[CHUCKLES]
Mm, love you.
- Thanks, Mom.
- [CHUCKLES]
Thank you.
I swear,
that girl is wound tighter
than Dick's hatband.
Yeah.
Do you mean like a cock ring?
Honey, get your head out of the gutter.
No.
Dick was a king whose crown didn't fit.
[TRANQUIL MUSIC]
There was a king named Dick?
Dick is short for Richard.
Oh, goodness, let me tell you, honey,
somewhere, back in the old days,
there was a man named Richard
who went by Dick
and must have been hung like
a Georgia plow mule.
[AINSLEY LAUGHS]
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [ENTRY BELLS JINGLE]
It cooling off at all out there?
[SHORT CHUCKLE] Eh, not much.
[CHUCKLES] It's not even June.
How can I help you, hon?
I-I'm needing some roses.
Okay. How many?
How much are they?
Uh, well, it depends on
which ones and the type of arrangement.
Well, I-I don't really
need an arrangement.
I'm really just need the flowers.
I'm thinking
a little more volume-driven.
Oh, like petals in the tub,
that kind of thing?
Uh, mine's just
more of a trail of roses.
Oh.
Well, you know what?
I have a shipment,
it's a little past its prime,
but there's a pile of 'em and I
can let you have 'em for cheap.
Say, two dollars a stem?
Yeah, o-okay. I'll take a hundred.
Okay, come on back, I'll show you.
[LANGUID MUSIC]
[ENGINE STOPS]
We're home, Pop.
Hey, Pop, wake up, we're home.
Hey, Pop, wake up.
- Hey, we're home.
- What the fuck?!
Goddamn!
The fuck the matter with you?
I tried to wake you up
three fucking times.
Pulling on my fucking mustache.
I'm gonna have to get you
one of them ear trumpets,
- like the English wear.
- Yeah, fuck you.
[SIGHS] Good God almighty.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
What you doing sneaking around
the neighborhood?
Are you all right?
Did somebody die or something?
I had sex with one of your geologists.
I thought you should hear it from me.
Okay.
Well, what do you want me to say,
"Nice job, way to go, how was it"?
I don't I-I
What are you looking for here?
I signed the conflict disclosure form
and I just [SNIFFLES]
I want you to consider
what I've accomplished for this company.
I don't give a shit
who you jump in the sack with,
I really don't.
It violates the workplace conduct
[LAUGHS] Are you shitting me?
Did you ever go to
man camp on a Friday night?
They're running girls and booze
and God knows what else
in and out of that place
like it's a fucking cattle sale.
The whole place
is a workplace violation.
So, this guy does a really good job
and you catch him
fooling around or whatever,
you don't fire him.
Now, this guy does a bad job,
you have to fire him
no matter how much you like him.
Deal?
Deal.
Okay. Hey, by the way,
Saturday night is typically taco night,
and there's no dress code,
so if you're hungry
- I'm fine.
- You sure?
Thank you.
Hey, Rebecca.
Who had you sign this paper?
Nathan.
[LIVELY MARIACHI MUSIC
PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]
Oh, thank you. [CHUCKLES]
Just one.
I wish every night was taco night.
[TOMMY] It is, 300 miles south of here.
[LAUGHS] Hey, bud, you want a beer?
- Yeah, sure.
- [ANGELA] Is that Tommy?
Yeah, hi, honey.
Can I have a word with you, Nate?
You sure you want to poke this bear?
It is a workplace violation, Tommy.
She works 12 hours a day.
I mean, where is she gonna meet
somebody if it's not at work?
You think she's gonna
find the man of her dreams
at the damn Patch Cafe?
- Be that as it may
- Look, there are
a lot of people
I don't mind calling enemies.
She is not one of 'em.
And you don't want her
laying awake all night
trying to figure out
ways to get your ass back.
It goes to deeper issues
we're facing, Tommy.
You know what,
I don't want to talk about it.
I'm off the clock, and from now on,
starting today, I'm gonna enjoy my life.
You ain't enjoying life today.
You can eat it or fuck it,
I don't really care.
Come on. Come with me.
Let's go take a walk.
[ANGELA EXHALES]
[DOOR CLOSES]
You know what I realized today?
What a gift it is
to have you back in my life.
[TENDER MUSIC]
You're a beautiful tornado
of a gift, honey.
And I know I damn sure don't deserve it.
Damn sure don't.
But I got it.
I just want to thank you for it.
I love you, honey.
[SIGHS]
You didn't say anything about my tits.
They're a perk, I can't lie to you.
I just want to be loved.
You are.
And wanted.
Oh, you are.
And worshipped.
All of it, honey. You got all of it.
And showered with gifts
and a house in Fort Worth
and something on the beach.
I'm a Pisces, baby.
You know, I'm just
I'm a little fish who's stranded ashore.
I'm on it.
[SNIFFLES, SIGHS]
[SNIFFLES]
[SIGHS]
Now can I have a taco?
Oh, you can have a taco,
you sexy son of a bitch.
[CHUCKLING]
They're the only grown-ups I know
that love and laugh and
and they kiss like teenagers.
Why is that?
[NATHAN] I'm not sure
"grown-up"
is the right term for their behavior.
I ain't never seen nothing like it.
Maybe that's the secret.
Never grow up.

[ROMANTIC MUSIC]
This is it, isn't it?
Where do you want me?
Uh, b Just follow the roses.
[CHUCKLING SOFTLY]
Why are you so nervous?
I already said we should do this.
Well, I've just noticed this pattern
of you changing your mind
pretty quickly.
I don't change my mind.
Circumstances change
and I change with them.

Circumstances are always gonna change.
