Rona comes into a conference over the phone and talks about the casting. Soisson said, "It should be whoever is best for the role." However, "I want these guys in the film. When I like someone, it doesn't matter, is that the deal?" he asks. He keeps debating this nepotism ideal, because he believes in it, even though it'll look horrible for the studio. "Your credibility is shot," Soisson explains. "Rona looked at all the tapes." Then, tells him he didn't like any of his family and that he wouldn't approve any of them. "Why did they pick me?" John asks. "If they don't think the director should be involved in casting, that's just asinine." John continues to defend himself, but he's clearly outnumbered. He just doesn't get how casting works and Soisson gets very angry about it. He feels he is serving his own interests, which he shouldn't be as a first-time director, instead of serving the movie. As a temper tantrum, he begins to rip down his family's pictures from his wall. "The Gulagers don't have to do this, and I can do this alone. If they think it'll make it easier for me, if they think it'll make the project better, they're probably wrong," he whines.

John goes out with his family for dinner. He claims those working with him don't respect him. His father tells him that that's just the way it is in the industry. They discuss nepotism, his father even taking notes, and they overall don't get it. John won't back down though, and he thinks it's personal, but it isn't. He comes back to the studio, and tells Leahy that he wants to file to Los Angeles to meet Bob and Harvey Weinstein "owners of Dimension" to plea for his family to be in the movie. "I want you to direct this movie if those people aren't in it," Leahy says.

Rona is called and told about the plan. Soisson can barely get it out, it's ridiculous. "There's just no way this is happening," Rona laughs. Gulager comes in, the producers are laughing. Rona says if Gulager leaves New York, Dimension will shut down the production permanently.

Leahy goes to meet the Maloof brothers to see if they will become partners for Feast. They sit down with them and pitch the movie for real this time. Sean Bailet, who works for Live Planet, has an established relationship with the brothers and introduced Chris Moore and the rest of the team to the project. They all work hard to pitch the film. "We're trying to shoot a forty day project in twenty days," Leahy notes. "I was very encouraged by the meeting. If we can get Maloof Motion Pictures involved with Feast, it could be huge."

Chris Moore, Joel Soisson and Mike Leahy go out to lunch and joke about how they finally sat down with the Maloof brothers. They then discussed the casting issue with John's family and flying out to meet the studio executives. Moore can't believe that John wants to do that, and tells them that if they ever repeat the conversation or bring it up again, he will fire Gulager on the spot.
