Yeah, fink, can you hold on? Excuse me, it's Los Angeles calling. I need to take this. Just two minutes. Of course. Can you hold one second? I'm getting on a boat. Thank you. Yeah. I mean, what do we know about this guy anyway? Is he a Spanish Dr. No? Is he into something strange? Allan did some research. Hold on. Allan, what does this guy do? He owns olive groves apparently. Also, he wrote this screenplay, and he wants Nick to star in it. Throw that in the fucking trash. Nick, you're fine. It's not like he's gonna want you to suck his dick or fuck his wife, or watch you watch him fuck his wife. I wouldn't think so. Relax. Have fun and give me a call when it's done. You can tell me all about it.

I'm not sure I understand. Look, if Javi wants me to suck his dick, or fuck his wife, or watch me watch him fuck his wife, that's a no-go. You understand? It's no bueno. I think so. Okay, and if Javi... I am Javi.
