(S03E04) Drop everything. Ari Gold has officially come up with the most perfect, most vulgar, most offensive, yet hilarious, insult EVER. It's flawless. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: cunt muscle. It just rolls off your lips. For instance, "Hey (your friend's name), stop being such a cunt muscle." Go on, give it try. I've used it dozens of times and the episode only aired thirty minutes ago. It's that good. Now give yourself a second to take a deep breath (because all our lives are clearly better now that this phrase is in our collective verbal lexicons) and then continue reading.

The rest of the episode dealt with Vince's dream project officially becoming a reality. Now that Aquaman is a bona fide hit, studios are just throwing multi-million dollar projects at Vince. But only one matters to Vince. Medellin: The Pablo Escobar Story. Vince and E have been drooling over this project since they first heard about it during the first season (they took Queens Boulevard instead). Vince sees it as his Scarface. It's all within his reach as long as he can charm the pants off of the film's producer, Phil Rubenstein.

This becomes a difficult proposition when someone steals an original Shrek doll from Phil's mansion while Vince met with the guy. No doll, no film. It was Dom. We all know it's Dom. Except Dom wouldn't admit it until Vince finally called him on it. Ari even tried to bluff Dom with a fake surveillance video. Regardless, it looks like the Dom era is over. Man, I hated that guy. While Vince was clearly angry with him, he still cut Dom loose with some padding. Dom walked with the yellow Hummer and a fully paid apartment. Not bad, but I didn't get why? Couldn't Vince have just said, "Get the hell out?"

So the guys return the doll to Phil and the next morning Ari receives the offer for Vince to play Pablo. Except there's one giant problem. Aquaman II just got the greenlight and it has the same start day as Medellin. I wish I had to make choices like that. It's Fourth of July weekend. My biggest conundrum has been hamburger or hot-dog.

I will say though, great episode. Definitely back to form after last week's lousy installment. Might be due to the fact that show creator Doug Ellin co-wrote this one. But in honor of Dom's departure, it only seems appropriate that he had the best quote of the episode.

Dom (referring to Lloyd's preferences): "If the Oriental even looks at me, I'm takin' him down."
