Jared and Owen Go To T.R.A.F.F.I.C.

Jared

And what if I don't want to give up on
him?

P'fro

You don't call.

Jared

But you said I shouldn't call if I
wanted to give up on domaining .

P'fro
 
Right.

 Jared

So I don't call either way.

P'fro

Right.

Jared

So what's the difference?

P'fro

The only difference between giving up and
 not giving up is if you take his call.
 when he  wants to call you back.  See, you
 can't do anything to make him want to
 call you back.  You can only do things to
 make him not want to call you back.

Jared

So the only difference is if I forget
about him or pretend to forget about all the good times
we had building Name.com.

P'fro

Right.

Jared

Well that sucks.

P'fro

It sucks.

Jared

So it's almost a retroactive decision.
So I could, like, let's say, forget about
him and when he calls me back make like I
just pretended to forget about the buy out.

P'fro

Right…or more likely the opposite.

Jared

Right…  Wait, what do you mean?

P'fro

I mean first you'll pretend not to care,
but then you will remember people think
you got rich from the buy out and then,
eventually, you really won't care.

Jared

Unless he writes me a big check for my new idea.

P'fro

Ah, see, that's the thing.  Somehow he
won't come back with a big check.

Jared
 
There's the rub.

P'fro

There's the rub.

Jared

Thanks, man.  Sorry we always talk about
the same thing all the time…

P'fro

Hey man, don't sweat it. I understand I work here
for the beer and the hot women.

INT.  Jared'S Home – NIGHT
                         
Owen
(over phone)
 Hello?

 Jared

 S'up Owen?

 Owen

Hold on,other line
(returning to line)
That was Caroline.  We got two parties lined up
 at TRAFFIC.  One's for a modeling agency.

Jared

I don't know…

Owen

Listen to me, baby, there are going to be
industry players who want you there.

Jared

Owen, I don't feel like going to Traffic
I got shit to do to get my career restarted…

Owen
Listen to you.  I got meetings with a bunch of Venture Capitalists for Spoo.ch
and I'm going.  You gotta  get out with some industry peeps.You
can't sit home thinking about Bill.

Jared

I don't know…

Owen

I don't know, I don't know- listen to
you.  We're gonna have fun.  We
gotta get you out of that stuffy
office.

Jared

We're gonna spend half the conference walking
around the Hotel looking for this party
and then leaving cause it sucks, then
we're gonna look for this other party you
heard about.  But, Owen, all the parties
they all suck.  I spend half
the night trying to talk to some domainer
who's eyes are darting around to see if
there's someone else she should be
talking to.  And it's like I'm supposed
to be all happy cause she's wearing a
Go Daddy press pass.  Half of them are coupon hunters
who wouldn't be worth the trouble to get them to switch.
They are there for the swag, a tshirt, a keychain,free domains
with ppc income.  I'm not gonna be one of those
assholes, kissing their ass to try my Nabber.  It's fucking depressing. Some
flipper who gets a chubby for a .99 .com code from a company that isn't half the company Name.com
is,is gonna use me?  It makes me want to puke.

Owen
                       
You got it bad, baby.You need Vegas. This conference will be good for you.

Jared

What are you talking about? Its going to suck

Owen

VEGAS.

Jared

What Vegas?

Owen

We're going to Vegas.

Jared

When?

Owen

May 29, Baby.

Jared

You're crazy.

Owen

Relax, I will drive Jared..

Jared
 
I'm not going to Vegas.

Owen

Shut up- yes you are. We have to go to Cali for a spooch meeting anyway.

 but this is Vegas.

Jared

I miss Bill, he left and is travelling the globe, the loonies  on Twitter
think I cashed out big time, well let me tell you Owen, I didn't.

Owen

Jared

Do you think we should talk about Domain Nabber
and how we don't send our catches to auction ?

Owen
 
Only unless its going to get you a handjob.

Jared

What the Fuck ?

Owen

I don't think Domain Nabber is sexy enough, plus we got spoo.ch

Jared

Yeah well I am sure a lot of nerds here do something else in six seconds

Owen

He's back, now that is the Jared I know and love.

Jared

Jared

European Woman
 
Well I have 3000 Euros to get started

(Owen whispers to Jared again, "Oh shit she thinks we are gigolos)

Jared

What did you have in mind ? 3000 Euros is a nice number

European Woman

Well I hear good things about the Germans

Jared

The Germans ? We are not German

European Woman

Owen

Owen

Hostess

So what do you guys do ?

Jared

I am the community evangelist for Name.com

Hostess

You are the community what ? Are you on TV asking for money ?
Scamming little old ladies out of their pension check ?

Jared

No, community evangelist, I spread the word of Name.com

Hostess

So what do you do handsome ?

Owen

I am a movie producer, technologist and I once was a stand in for Ben Stiller, from the back.

Hostess

Nice, so do you and your con artist friend want bottle service ?

Jared

Yeah, because my handsome friend as you called him hit
for $2250 with $50 he found that some old lady dropped on the floor.

Owen

We don't need bottle service, we will go to the bar.

Hostess

Have a good night handsome

Jared

What about me ?

Hostess

Stop ripping off old ladies.

(The boys move to the bar)

Jared

I want to get out of here, I still can't believe Bill has not called me
since he sold the company.

Owen

He is a busy guy, he will call when he has the time.

Jared

Put the yoga mat down and call, its easy.

Patron
