Californication 4x04

Hank has finished the script for the movie adaption of his novel, and Runkle is so excited he could pleasure himself. They have a meet and greet with Stu and Zig (resp. the producer and a potential investor). Things start to go from weird and wonderful to bizarre and brutal when Zig invites them to his mansion for a reading of some scenes. Zig, too, gets overly excited and starts to give a face ride to one of his sister-wives – and then excuses himself as the sister-wives continue making out on the couch. Hank and Stu are too high, but Runkle gladly takes one of the sisters for a ride – except that she is distracted by Zig’s pet monkey. When it starts throwing its feces, Runkle tries hitting it, gets bitten, tries to shake the monkey off his arm and kills it as it flies through the room. The sister shrieks hysterically and accuses him of murder. Although Stu has a serious case of the giggles, he demands that Runkle apologizes to Zig to save the deal. Hank finds the investor hanging on the bathroom door: death by auto-erotic asphyxiation. Not much later Runkle gets tased by a police officer, Hank punches him out. Hank then hits on his attorney who agrees to handle the mess and keep it out of the tabloids. None of this phases Hank one bit, but when he drops off Runkle he spots Karen flirting with another man. That hurts Hank every which way.
