00:07:54,557 --> 00:07:57,226
Yeah, that's the sweet spot
right there.
178
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,353
You know, you should do this
for your boyfriend,
179
00:07:59,437 --> 00:08:00,396
get him good and hot.
180
00:08:00,396 --> 00:08:02,023
I'm sorry, what was that?
181
00:08:02,023 --> 00:08:03,482
Yes, ma'am,
you can cancel at any time.
182
00:08:03,566 --> 00:08:05,109
You'll get the first issue
next week.
183
00:08:05,193 --> 00:08:07,445
Hope your daughter likes it.
184
00:08:09,363 --> 00:08:11,282
If she's as political
as you say, I'd recommend
185
00:08:11,282 --> 00:08:13,284
getting a "Newsweek"
subscription instead.
186
00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:15,578
There's a revolution coming,
and we're still publishing
187
00:08:15,578 --> 00:08:17,580
puff pieces
about David Cassidy.
188
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:19,290
Hey ya, honey.
189
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:21,584
What are you doing here?
190
00:08:21,584 --> 00:08:23,544
Oh, I came to kidnap you.
191
00:08:23,628 --> 00:08:26,756
Nah, you put where you work
in your magazine, dummy.
192
00:08:27,673 --> 00:08:29,091
- You read my magazine?
- I did.
193
00:08:29,175 --> 00:08:30,676
What, you think
I'm illiterate or something?
194
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,261
- Well--
- Look, it's not Proust.
195
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:33,721
It's pronounced "Proost."
196
00:08:33,721 --> 00:08:35,431
Do people enjoy your company?
197
00:08:35,431 --> 00:08:37,266
Not really.
Look, you've got to go, okay?
198
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:38,643
My co-workers are G-rated.
199
00:08:38,643 --> 00:08:40,144
They wear sweater sets
and pearls.
200
00:08:40,228 --> 00:08:41,729
Oh, come on,
those sweater girls are all
201
00:08:41,729 --> 00:08:44,357
freaks on the inside,
you can trust me on that.
202
00:08:44,357 --> 00:08:45,942
Hey, come to Mort's, 1:00.
203
00:08:45,942 --> 00:08:47,235
Let's talk business, okay?
204
00:08:47,235 --> 00:08:48,611
You think I'm just
gonna show up
205
00:08:48,611 --> 00:08:50,071
for some mystery meeting
in a diner,
206
00:08:50,071 --> 00:08:51,239
like I have nothing better to--
207
00:08:51,239 --> 00:08:52,782
So, we're up in Lake Havasu,
208
00:08:52,782 --> 00:08:54,200
and we're shooting
these two chicks
209
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,285
for the cover of "Asian Asses,"
210
00:08:56,369 --> 00:09:00,122
and I got this really sexy kind
of Vietnam rice paddy angle
211
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:03,626
and my makeup boy, Richie,
knocks the bag of film
212
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:04,794
right into the water.
213
00:09:04,794 --> 00:09:06,545
- Mm.
- So we got to shut down
214
00:09:06,629 --> 00:09:08,047
as he goes into town,
215
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:09,632
and the chicks start bitching,
you know?
216
00:09:09,632 --> 00:09:11,175
- They do that.
- "Doug, how long
217
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:12,802
is this gonna take?
It's so cold out here."
218
00:09:12,802 --> 00:09:14,887
So guess what I did.
219
00:09:14,971 --> 00:09:17,306
Re-evaluated
your entire existence?
220
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:18,516
I gave them the only thing
221
00:09:18,516 --> 00:09:20,142
that I had to read in my car,
222
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:22,687
which was your magazine.
223
00:09:22,687 --> 00:09:25,106
Your centerfolds read
"The Matriarchy Awakens"?
224
00:09:25,106 --> 00:09:27,108
Also not illiterate.
225
00:09:28,693 --> 00:09:30,194
Did they like it?
226
00:09:30,278 --> 00:09:32,488
Not that it matters.
I'm just curious if they--
227
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:34,365
It blew 'em away.
228
00:09:34,365 --> 00:09:35,700
- It did?
- It did.
229
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:36,993
It's been three weeks,
and they're still
230
00:09:36,993 --> 00:09:38,077
talking about the articles.
231
00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:39,537
And one of 'em even hit me up
232
00:09:39,537 --> 00:09:40,871
about a raise
because of something
233
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:42,373
that you wrote
about the pay gap.
234
00:09:42,373 --> 00:09:43,708
- Well--
- I mean, she's not
235
00:09:43,708 --> 00:09:44,959
gonna get it.
236
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:48,170
Look, I got a lot of readers. Men.
237
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:49,880
And they write to me
all the time,
238
00:09:49,964 --> 00:09:53,009
and they say,
"Doug, shit's changing."
239
00:09:53,009 --> 00:09:55,011
You know,
"Chicks are changing."
240
00:09:55,011 --> 00:09:56,387
So I got to figure out,
you know,
241
00:09:56,387 --> 00:09:57,847
what to do with that,
what's next.
242
00:09:57,847 --> 00:09:59,307
And then I started thinking
243
00:09:59,307 --> 00:10:01,559
maybe I got to stop talking
to the men.
244
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,520
Maybe--maybe I should be
talking to the women.
245
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,063
You want to talk to women?
246
00:10:06,147 --> 00:10:07,398
Well, there's a lot
of you out there,
247
00:10:07,398 --> 00:10:09,692
and I'd like a piece
of that pie.
248
00:10:09,692 --> 00:10:11,444
Oh, you're not suggesting
that you publish
249
00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:12,570
"The Matriarchy Awakens."
250
00:10:12,570 --> 00:10:14,530
[laughing]
Oh, God no.
251
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:16,032
I mean,
not in its current form.
252
00:10:16,032 --> 00:10:17,199
Hey, don't get me wrong,
it's good.
253
00:10:17,283 --> 00:10:18,659
It's just you got a challenge.
254
00:10:18,743 --> 00:10:20,536
And the tone,
it comes across as shouty.
255
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:21,871
When I'm reading it,
I feel like
256
00:10:21,871 --> 00:10:23,247
a fucking teacher
is yelling at me.
257
00:10:23,331 --> 00:10:24,707
Well, who cares
how it makes you feel?
258
00:10:24,707 --> 00:10:25,916

to make people think.
259

You got to hide the medicine.
260
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:29,378
It's like when you give a pill
to a dog,
261
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:31,714
you dip it
in peanut butter first.
262
00:10:31,714 --> 00:10:35,134
So my question is,
what's our peanut butter?
263
00:10:38,846 --> 00:10:40,890
- I'm sorry, are you waiting--
- It's nude men.
264
00:10:40,890 --> 00:10:42,683

00:10:55,613 --> 00:10:56,906

Of course, I do--feminism.
274
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:01,827
Making shit fair and equal
for the chicks.
275
00:11:01,911 --> 00:11:04,872
So tell me this,
how is it fair and equal
276
00:11:04,872 --> 00:11:09,460
that a guy has twelve places
to go to see a pair of titties,
277

but a gal has no place
to go to see a dong?
278
00:11:12,088 --> 00:11:14,256
Gals do not want
to see a dong.
279
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:16,425
Oh, they don't?
Now how do you know?
280
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,094
- Because I am one, so.
- Mm.
281
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:20,471
Well, would you like
to put money on it?
282
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:22,765
- What, you mean, like a bet?
- No, honey.

an office and a staff

00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:34,777
Didn't you tell me that cost,
like, 50 grand?
287
00:11:34,777 --> 00:11:36,278
- Maybe.
- Joycie!
288
00:11:36,362 --> 00:11:37,613
That's a lot of money.
289
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:39,615

00:14:04,552 --> 00:14:06,679
thank you so much
for this opportunity?
349
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,558
I mean, to learn from someone
like you is just--
350
00:14:10,558 --> 00:14:11,809
oh, Doug didn't tell you?
351
00:14:11,809 --> 00:14:13,185
I'm working for the magazine.
352
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:14,395
I'm your new
centerfold coordinator.
353
00:14:14,395 --> 00:14:16,146
- Oh!
- Okay, tour time.
354
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:17,856
What is
a centerfold coordinator?
355
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:20,526
I don't know, I made it up.
Doesn't it sound fancy?
356
00:14:20,526 --> 00:14:22,194
Okay,
so it's basically just like
357
00:14:22,278 --> 00:14:23,612
any other regular old office.
358
00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:25,948
We have Art Department, Editorial.
359
00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:28,075
That's Shipping, Accounting.
360
00:14:28,075 --> 00:14:30,119
Ugh.
Ignore Gerry.
361
00:14:30,119 --> 00:14:31,870
He's just mad
Doug pulled the plug
362
00:14:31,954 --> 00:14:34,039
on his magazine idea
to do yours.
363
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:35,791
Your accountant created
a magazine?
364
00:14:35,791 --> 00:14:37,376
Yeah.
You know Doug.
365
00:14:37,376 --> 00:14:40,379
He thinks a zillion-dollar
idea can come from anyone.
366
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:43,132
This is all
our photo editing and--
367
00:14:43,132 --> 00:14:45,092
Is he rouging
that woman's breasts?
368
00:14:45,092 --> 00:14:46,719
Oh, yeah.
369
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:48,512
Um, nips don't read pink
under hot lights,
370
00:14:48,596 --> 00:14:50,347
so we have to--huh.
371
00:14:50,431 --> 00:14:52,683
Richie, are we gonna have
to put makeup on dicks?
372
00:14:52,683 --> 00:14:54,685
Mm, one can only hope.
373
00:14:54,685 --> 00:14:56,312
[both laugh]
- That's Richie.
374
00:14:56,312 --> 00:14:57,688
- Oh.
- He's our makeup artist,
375
00:14:57,688 --> 00:14:59,356
but he's gonna
be your photographer,
376
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,066
'cause none of the other guys
want to shoot wieners.
377
00:15:01,150 --> 00:15:02,860
Don't worry,
I know my way around a camera.
378
00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:04,695
I've been photographing
my lovers throughout the years.
379
00:15:04,695 --> 00:15:06,530
- Oh.
- Ooh, I love this ensemble.
380
00:15:06,614 --> 00:15:08,991
Oh.
Enchanté.
381
00:15:10,868 --> 00:15:12,911
Morning.
382
00:15:17,207 --> 00:15:18,542
Doug.
383
00:15:18,626 --> 00:15:20,085
Hey, look who made it.
384
00:15:20,169 --> 00:15:21,629
You look beat.
Long drive?
385
00:15:21,629 --> 00:15:23,255
How's a cup of coffee?
386
00:15:23,339 --> 00:15:24,757
A cup of tea would be divine.
387
00:15:24,757 --> 00:15:26,842
Oh, I'm not the secretary.
I'm just Black.
388
00:15:28,594 --> 00:15:30,179
I'm so sorry.
It was actually the way
389
00:15:30,179 --> 00:15:31,805
that you were pouring the
waters that I thought that--
390
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:33,349
Reminded you of the help
at your tennis club?
391
00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:35,017
No.
Uh--ah, well,
392
00:15:35,017 --> 00:15:36,644
we are members
of a tennis club,
393
00:15:36,644 --> 00:15:41,357
but the waitstaff there
is mostly Mexican, um--
394
00:15:41,357 --> 00:15:43,108
[both laugh]
395
00:15:43,192 --> 00:15:44,526
She's fucking with you.
396
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:46,695
Tina's my secretary
going on ten years.
397
00:15:46,779 --> 00:15:49,406
- Oh, that's very funny.
- Racist.
398
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:53,702
All right, fuckers, here's
our timeline, lean and mean.
399
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,454
A week to produce
a test issue?
400
00:15:55,454 --> 00:15:57,581
That is way too fast.
- Well, we got to boogie
401
00:15:57,665 --> 00:15:59,249
if we want to be the first
out of the gate, right?
402
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:00,459
You think
there's a second nude
403
00:16:00,459 --> 00:16:01,919
feminist magazine in the works?
404
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:03,462
If there's not now,
there soon will be.
405
00:16:03,462 --> 00:16:05,589
Centerfold ideas, shoot.
What do we got?
406
00:16:05,673 --> 00:16:07,007
Bambi, go ahead.
407
00:16:07,091 --> 00:16:08,550
Um, I was thinking,
408
00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:10,678
what's the number one thing
women find sexy?
409
00:16:10,678 --> 00:16:12,429
- Intelligence--
- Motorcycles.
410
00:16:12,513 --> 00:16:14,890
Picture this:
tricked out Harley,
411
00:16:14,890 --> 00:16:18,977
big, muscley model with a juicy
boner draped over the throttle.
412
00:16:19,061 --> 00:16:20,270
- Mm.
- What's the caption?
413
00:16:20,354 --> 00:16:21,563
- "Wild Hogs."
- "Greasy Riders."
414
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:23,941
- Oh.
- Ooh, I got it.
415
00:16:23,941 --> 00:16:25,943
"Rode Hard and Put Away Wet."
416
00:16:25,943 --> 00:16:27,736
- Ooh, yes.
- That's the one.
417
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:29,238
- Bambi, that's genius.
- That's really good, Bambi--
418
00:16:29,238 --> 00:16:30,656
Yo--ah--this is just
419
00:16:30,656 --> 00:16:32,408
not quite what I had in mind.
420
00:16:32,408 --> 00:16:34,702
It's a great first try though.
421
00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:37,037
- What's wrong with it?
- It's just, how do motorcycles
422
00:16:37,121 --> 00:16:38,414
relate to feminism?
423
00:16:38,414 --> 00:16:41,166
Are erections consistent
with our philosophy?
424
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:44,503
If--if our goal is
to level the playing field
425
00:16:44,503 --> 00:16:47,423
between the sexes,
then should our penises
426
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:48,966
be ready to assault?
427
00:16:48,966 --> 00:16:51,760
Or--or should they be
approachable and unassuming,
428
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:56,223
draped gently on a thigh,
tucked away, under a throw?
429
00:16:56,223 --> 00:16:58,767
I think you're missing
the point of a centerfold.
430
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:00,436
No one cares about philosophy.
431
00:17:00,436 --> 00:17:03,981
The only question that matters
is, does it turn you on?
432
00:17:03,981 --> 00:17:06,150
That is a question
for the ages,
433
00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:07,693
which we could debate
for months.
434
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:09,778
Well, we wouldn't want
to do that, now would we?
435
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:12,656
Well, we wouldn't want
to rush into things either.
436
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:13,949
You know,
we should give this magazine
437
00:17:13,949 --> 00:17:15,242
the thought it deserves.
438
00:17:15,242 --> 00:17:16,326
- And I think we are.

"Lady Chatterley's Lover,"
441
00:17:19,413 --> 00:17:21,957
and then we have
the "Kinsey Report,"
442
00:17:21,957 --> 00:17:23,751
Volumes 1 and 2.
443
00:17:23,751 --> 00:17:27,129
And last summer's bestseller,
"Our Bodies, Ourselves."
444
00:17:27,129 --> 00:17:32,134
There is an eye-opening
section on vulvas, page 93.
445
00:17:34,553 --> 00:17:35,929
Great.

00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:44,521

I think that's the point.

You were pretty happy
then too.
