"The All Out Fall Out" is the third episode of the fifth season of the American comedy-drama television series Entourage. It is the 57th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer Rob Weiss, and directed by co-executive producer Mark Mylod. It originally aired on HBO on September 21, 2008.
The series chronicles the acting career of Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star, and his childhood friends from Queens, New York City, as they attempt to further their nascent careers in Los Angeles. In the episode, Vince gets a gig at a birthday party, much to his chagrin. Meanwhile, Ari gets into a prank war with Adam Davies.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.58 million household viewers and gained a 1.0/2 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received extremely positive reviews from critics, with particular praise towards Ari's storyline.
Vince (Adrian Grenier) is informed by his accountant that his savings are running low and that he needs to get a job at any cost. He asks Shauna (Debi Mazar) for help, and she convinces him in taking part in a rich girl's birthday party. However, Vince is insulted by the treatment of the parents (Fran Drescher and Kevin Pollak), and decides to leave with the boys.
For his birthday, Ari (Jeremy Piven) receives a Ferrari. As he drives, he has an encounter with Davies (Jordan Belfi) and they bet $100 on a race to their offices, but Ari loses the race. Later, Davies sends two male strippers disguised as police officers to dance around Ari at his office, ruining a meeting with a client. Ari decides to get back at him by sending an explicit photo of his ex-girlfriend, but Davies is not only unbothered, but also sends a nude picture of Melissa (Perrey Reeves) from a lost film. Reaching his limit, Ari angrily goes to Davies' office to demand an apology. He initially refuses until Ari slaps him in front of his colleagues, humiliating him and finally apologizing.
Eric (Kevin Connolly) is told by Amanda (Carla Gugino) that Edward Norton received the script for Nine Brave Souls and he agreed to star in it if he can retool it. Vince is forced by Shauna and his accountant in returning to the party, with the promise of $200,000 just for singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". He starts singing, only to be joined by a drunk Drama (Kevin Dillon), after the latter drinks a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue whisky. Their performance is well received, although the party is ruined when Drama vomits over the birthday cake.
