[English]

♪ (ROCK MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

(CROWD CHEERING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Ticketing's running smoothly. Mobile purchasing seems stable.

That's good.

Russ.

-Hey. -I fucked up, Richard.

Why did I make one dollar worth a billion Russbucks?

I mean, everyone wants to be a billionaire,

but they didn't earn it, so are they gonna feel bad about themselves?

I mean, why would I do that? I guess because I'm an asshole and I wanna have a bad festival.

No, no. Russ, don't worry about it.

-Everything is amazing. -Yeah?

Yeah. I tell you what, why don't we see the hologram?

The hologram's ready?

It's up.

Yeah, let's go see the hologram.

-Okay. Come on. This way-- -Fuck yeah!

-RUSS: Fuckin' hologram! -(RICHARD CHUCKLES)

RICHARD: See. There he is.

Okay. Yeah, that's pretty sweet. (CHUCKLES)

Fist bump!

Dry hump!

Double guns!

Wait, what's he doin'?

Richard, what the fuck?

Well, uh-- uh...

Once more people show up, the network effect will--

It will stabilize it, I-- I promise.

Do you swear? Because one time I threw a party,

and David Copperfield said it was beat.

Promise me that this will not be beat.

It won't be beat.

-Okay. -Yeah.

(SIGHS) Okay. Thanks.

I know, I know. Why did I wear these pants?

Part denim, part leather. Pick a lane, Russ.

Fuck, I'm gonna change my pants.
