| 0:00.0 | Sean Rad stumbles into the brush, barely keeping his balance. |
| 0:16.7 | He thinks he's outrun them, but he can't be too certain. |
| 0:19.7 | He stops. |
| 0:22.7 | The only movement is the sweat dripping under his t-shirt, which clings to his skin. I found it Tinder and all I got was the stupid |
| 0:28.6 | t-shirt. It reads, come out. I know you're out there. I'm not afraid of you. You think you can |
| 0:36.5 | intimidate me? I'm Sean fucking rad. I'm not afraid of you. You think you can intimidate me? |
| 0:40.2 | I'm Sean fucking rad. |
| 0:42.0 | I'm the king of Tinder. |
| 0:44.1 | Without me, you'd have nothing. |
| 0:48.9 | You know, several models have tried to hook up with me. |

| 1:24.0 | A girl co-founder? Gross, dude. And then when they broke up, oh, he texted her some gnarly stuff, but obviously, Sean was going to take Justin's side. Like, come on. They had to fire her, and now she was suing them. A founder, suing them. Well, not a founder, but you get it. She's suing them for sex discrimination. And then there's Barry Diller. Sean thought this guy was looking out for him. Sean wanted to be one of his pro-de-chees. He wanted to be in Dillers' killers. But he took advantage of Sean. The agreement they signed was bullshit. Barry knew Sean wasn't going to read the agreement. |
| 2:01.2 | Come on, it was boring. |
| 2:03.1 | And worst of all, oh, who? |
