He just walks inside with his wife. Nothing else happens other than the previews for the next week.

I could have sworn that is what Turtle (or was it Drama) called it too. But later they defenitly referred to the character as Brian. Weird. I wonder why they would do that.

My guess is that whoever wrote the CC script screwed up. Ryan and Brian do sound very alike so I chalk it up to the person doing the CC, not the episode script.

great ep

I was hoping Ari would have said to Lloyd when it's apparent the gig is up:

"This is your Zellwegger moment, don't fuck me up the ass here, Lloyd."

Great episode this week - next week's finale promises to be awesome!

Awesome episode. I've seen it twice, and Turtle almost certainly says 'Ryan' instead of Brian. I listened for it. Kind of strange. Loved Ari's breakdown and dance. Loved it.

"I was on CJ!"

Great episode.

great episode

Great episode.

As for the CC screwing up, it is no surprise. I have cc on often as my hearing sucks, and there are always a number of mistakes.

I love how Drama and Turtle were trying to be all covert in a huge yellow Hummer. "Was that our car?"

Well I certainly didn't expect Malcolm McDowell to be a continuously recurring character. Honestly, I'm surprised both he and Mandy Moore were on it as much as they were. I see Vince leaving Aquaman with Ari promising him everything as his number one (and only) client - which is the only way I could see Vince escaping the firm represting him. Now that Ari is out of the firm, his character can expand more which is nothing but good news since he is the funniest character on the show IMO.

So in one brief episode, Mandy and Malcolm are gone. Wonder where that leaves Sloan? Could be interesting to watch Ari begging Eric to milk Sloan for inside scoop on her father's firm.

I think Vince can leave his agent, manager, publicist at any time. Athletes do it all the time and I have heard of celrebities doing it as well. The pay for work already committed to would be an issue.

Does anyone see a scenario where Vince keeps Ari, and still does the movie? I think Cameron will end up dropping Mandy. Great episode though, I thought it was probably the strongest of the series.

What if Mandy goes to Cameron and asks out of the film first (before Vince has the opportunity to do so)? Wouldn't that be the ideal solution for Vince?

I think somehow Eric's relationship with Sloan will lead him to becoming part of the firm, or at least getting a job offer. Maybe he's offered Ari's position?

That was an awesome episode - and it was kind of long for this show as it ran over 29 minutes.

They should send this ep into the Emmy's for Piven. He's promise to Lloyd that he would always apologize just about had me falling out of my chair. I'm really looking forward to seeing Ari and Lloyd go solo and make it w/out the firm. Their relationship gets better every episode.

Ari was nice to his wife for the entire time she was on screen and didn't say anything bad about her the entire ep.

You know Ari will get payback on the young agent that fucked him over by spilling the beans to the old man. He never let Josh Weinstein get away w/ any of his shit, I'm sure this guy won't either.

Turtle and Drama were pretty amusing, too, and they topped it off by watching that damn movie.

They need to bring Sloan back a bit more.

I think Vince will end up doing Aquaman w/out Mandy - they'll end the season w/ him and boys heading off to the set w/ Cameron (or something like that).

I really can't wait until next season to see what Ari is up to.

Who was the young guy that screwed over Ari? Was it Adam? Isn't he Drama's agent? I wonder how that'll play out.

My thoughts on the Aquaman issue are that either Vince will leave it out of personal feelings and loyalty to Ari, or...Mandy gets replaced with Vince's friend and former Cameron associate Jessica Alba. Personally, after all of the lying and B.S. Ari has thrown at Vince, I I don't see why he would want to keep him.

I thought the was one of the best episodes of the series, and Ari's speech about leaving had me rolling. Piven should get an emmy for his performance.

Slightly off topic, I've been searching the threads around here, and does anyone know where to get a complete set of the pics that are usually posted here (like the one in the first post).

This is probably the closest you will get. Go to www.hbo.com/entourage , then just view each episode's guide, and go through the picture slideshow. I know this week's preview picture is in the slideshow, but I'm not sure if it worked that way for previous weeks.

EDIT: Actually, if it is just the preview pictures you want, use this link

and then just change the season and episode number to the one you want.

This is definitely the best episode of the series so far...I was pissing myself at this ep and sad but excited about next week. This show alone is worth the extra I pay for HBO and on demand each month.

That's his name - I couldn't remember earlier. Yes, he's Drama's agent.

I didn't really care much about the the Mandy stakeout, but the ending with Ari and Lloyd was great. I loved Lloyd's speech:

"Ari, I worked 18 hours a day to save up the money to put myself through Stanford Business School. While I was there, I cleaned the cafeteria during the hours I wasn't studying and still graduated top of my class, only to take a job delivering mail to unappreciative overpaid little ********ers. Then finally get the big promotion that would allow me to answer your phones, and be both racially and sexually harrassed for the next nine months. I know the end game, and you, Ari Gold, you are it. So stop your fucking whining and go into your gorgeous three million dollar house with your beautiful godess wife, and figure out how you're going to make both of our lives happen, tomorrow!"

Fuckin' A! Hopefully this means a little more material for those two. Maybe the extra 5 minutes per episode everyone keeps whining for.

Yeah, the previews show Drama trying to call him a few times, and Adam isn't calling him back.
