hwpWelcome back, boys.
As somebody once said...
theres a difference between a failure...
and a fiasco.
Watch your head.
Im fine.
A failure is simply the non-presence
of success.
Any fool can accomplish failure.
Im fine.
Im fine.
What the hells he doing here?
But a fiasco...
A fiasco is a disaster
of mythic proportions.
A fiasco is a folktale told to others...
that makes other people
feel more alive...
because it didnt happen to them.
Im fine.
Im fine.
Ill take you to Phil so you dont get lost.
Mercury Worldwide Shoes,
which is actually Phil...
contains some of Americas
finest artists masterworks...
seen only by people
heading for very important meetings...
a promotion...
or otherwise.
"We are not just employees,"
as Phil once said.
"We are denizens of greatness."
Phil says, "The world is full of those
who achieve through negativity...
"or theft.
"We succeed through original thought."
A shoe is not just a shoe.
It connects us to the Earth.
The right shoe can transport us...
make us believe
we are capable of more.
But there are sacrifices
for a goal like pure greatness.
Like birthdays
or last Christmas with my family.
...through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Dig in.
And no making fun of my cooking.
- This must be homemade.
- Oh, Dad.
Though we sometimes celebrate
odd things at Mercury...
like the day the Italians invented rubber.
Which they didnt, of course.
But thats beside the point.
Where exactly is Drew, anyway?
Weve contained magic in a shoe!
It was meant to approximate
walking on a cloud.
Hey, if you ever need anything
around here...
Im your girl.
Any true student
of functional shoe design...
is also a student of Phil himself.
He is a master.
And Phils innate wisdom
of what people want and need...
has never failed to date.
Im fine.
Hes also obsessed
with the number two.
These are Phils prized
two Norman Rockwells.
The pair of paintings that once hung
outside the White House office...
of John F. Kennedy.
And yes, the two treasured doors...
Phil once purchased from a church
on vacation in Tunisia...
and had sent back home for a total cost
too enormous to mention.
$ .
Each.
Just two more minutes
and I can send you in.
Because we have a moment here...
let me tell you that I have
recently become a secret connoisseur...
of last looks.
You know the way people look at you
when they believe its for the last time?
Ive started collecting these looks and...
Okay, hes ready for you.
Theres one right now.
How are you, Drew?
I wanted to jump out of the window
of that helicopter...
and just splatter on the trees,
to tell you the truth.
Dont do that.
Its only money.
The American psyche is in turmoil,
Drew, and we have miscalculated.
Im sorry.
I have no rulebook for this situation.
They tell me
that we are about to lose ...
million dollars.
I am...
ill-equipped
in the philosophies of failure.
Walk with me, Drew.
My basketball team.
They dont even know yet.
My Global Environmental Watchdog
project will have to go.
Sweet people.
We could have saved the planet...
but...
How do I make the concept
of $ ...
more real to you?
Its the operating budget
of a midsize country...
a small civilization.
Its big!
Its so big...
you could round it off to a billion dollars.
I cry a lot lately.
The promise of a global future...
pinned to a groundbreaking shoe,
your design...
with a new form of material,
launched this week to great fanfare.
And now, meeting a growing
international roar of laughter...
and rejection.
Enough to cause this memo...
from Jeffrey Barlow, CEO of DCS.
"This once highly-anticipated product...
"may actually cause an entire
generation to return to bare feet."
We are about to enter...
a free-fall plunge.
And the sound you hear
is the sound of shit hitting the fan.
Globally.
You hear it?
I wish there was something I could do.
Actually, there is.
In a room downstairs is a reporter
from Global Business Today.
We need to make him understand...
we hired you
from our National Scholarship Program.
We supported,
invested in your brilliance.
This was a very creative endeavor...
and I think you should stand up...
for your incredible work.
You okay?
Im...
Its a little bit like knowing the planes
going down before anyone else, isnt it?
- When does this run, a week?
- A week.
Come Sunday evening,
itll be on the stands.
Any last words?
And in that moment, I knew.
I know we hired you
at the last minute but...
Success...
Success, not greatness...
was the only god
the entire world served.
Home sweet home.
Eight years. Night and day.
Can you imagine?
An entire life wrapped up in a shoe.
Yello?
Drew? Its your sister.
I have some really bad news.
Could you call me tomorrow?
No.
- Could you call me a little later?
- No, honey.
Dad died!
He had a heart attack back in Kentucky.
He was still visiting Uncle Dale.
Mom is in total shock.
You have to handle this.
Youre the oldest.
Youre the responsible one.
I dont know why he went to Kentucky.
I dont know what the attraction was.
He was born there.
They never liked me there.
They never h
