Coming up next week
on The Golden Bachelor...

I'm really excited to get back
to Philly for my hometown visit.

I run a bar with my kids
and my kids' friends.

And my roommate, who is also
one of my kids' friends,

who we thought was my kid.

But we chucked his real dad off a
cliff. He was already soup by that point.

Anyway... I want us all to have a
nice dinner, get to know each other.

It's gonna
be a really classy affair.

Mmm.

We look forward to it.

So join us next week as we travel to
Philadelphia for Frank's hometown visit.

Well... you know
what this means, guys.

- What?
- We gotta get our shit together.

- All right.
- I don't know. I don't get it.

Like, why is he doing this?

Oh, who knows?
You know, fame, attention.

Maybe he just wants to bang a
bunch of old ladies. It doesn't matter

'cause what does matter is how we come
across when those cameras are rolling,

right? I mean, this is prime
time TV we're talking about.

And we pop on something like this, all
our hopes and dreams could come true.

I mean, hell... we live in a
country where reality television

could be a pathway towards
being the president.

Yeah.
But what's with the scripts?

Oh. Yeah, so Frank said that he
wanted to have a really classy dinner.

And, you know, we've struggled with
that a little bit in the past, admittedly.

So I just jotted
down some lines...

some small talk for us to, you
know, talk about over the dinner,

so that we can stay away
from some of the danger zones.

I feel like this is gonna feel
too scripted, you know?

- Yeah, I mean...
- Well, it is.

Shouldn't it be a little bit
more off the cuff?

- No.
- Yeah. Like...

Like, the other day I was
walking down by City Hall,

and I noticed this coyote
was following me.

- Really?
- Right down Market Street,

- in broad daylight.
- In Market Street?

So I turned to this coyote.
I got on my haunches,

'cause you gotta get down
on your haunches.

You gotta meet them where they are.
And I'm like, "Why are you following me?"

- Yeah!
- I said, "Back off,

or I will stick my thumbs into your
eyes." Which I've said to you before.

No, I don't think we should be regaling
audiences with tales of animal abuse.

- It was following him.
- We're not.

- I was the hunted, he was the hunter.
- Okay. Well...

Dennis. Dennis. How come
I don't have any lines?

You do.

"Hi, I'm Dee. Frank is
a great dad." That's it.

- It's all you need.
- No. It's not... It doesn't pop.

How am I supposed to pop with
this? No, I need to be slinging zingers.

You guys, I have a new one about
a Chinese guy and his optometrist...

Oh, God. No. Dee, stop doing
that. No race jokes, no edge.

- You know, actually, no comedy at all.
- What?

Well, we've moved past comedy
as a society.

We don't want it anymore,
we've decided.

You know, it makes us think too much
about, you know, our current condition.

And then, really, we don't want
to think about ourselves

because it makes us feel bad
about ourselves.

- It's confusing.
- So we project onto the people

that are making us think,
and we cancel 'em.

- We get mad.
- I'm with Dennis.

- Go woke, go broke. Right, Dennis?
- Yeah, for sure, man.

No. Uh, well, no. That's the
opposite of what I'm saying.

It sounds
like what you're saying.

That's pretty much
what you're saying.

It's not. No. She said...

- We're already broke.
- Yeah.

No, what I'm saying is
if we go woke...

- We'll go broke?
- We pop.

I want to know what all these,
uh, creams and bottles are.

- These... What are we doing?
- Ah. Yes. Um, glad you asked, Charlie.

Um, those are various shampoos
and tanning creams.

And, uh, yeah, got some Nair hair
removal in there, for any unsightly hairs.

What, me?

- Probably.
- Well, sure. Yeah, you.

Uh, but, you know, all of you.

- Here's an idea, actually.
- No, not me.

What if instead of getting
all clean, I get more dirty.

And then Frank's like,
"Oh, my God, he's dirty.

I'm concerned about him,"
you know?

You guys just aren't
getting it, okay?

You're not getting it. All right, this is
bigger than just looking good, okay?

The most important thing here
is to not look bad.

Hollywood actually has a system
for this already in place.

It's called the testing process.
They get together. Focus group,

and they... Well, actually, we did a focus
group for the last Thunder Gun movie,

- if you guys recall.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.

And they score us on a scale
of one to one hundred.

Then we just keep refining
the dinner over and over again,

until finally we land on the
most perfect versions of ourselves

that will appeal to the widest
possible audience and offend no one.

That is how you make great art.

Okay. Thank you all for coming.

Uh, so some of you have
done these before, for movies.

And for some of you,
I know it's your first time.

But, in a bit
of an unorthodox move,

we will be watching
a live performance today,

in preparation for the show
The Golden Bachelor.

Okay, so let's begin
the, uh... The show.

Um...

- Tell 'em not to clap.
- Excuse me?

Well, it's, you know, it's not a
play. So, they shouldn't clap or,

you know, laugh out loud
or groan or anything like that.

No. How are we supposed to know
what they think is funny? Let 'em laugh.

Okay. They can laugh,
but, you know, no claps.

I think we should keep the
claps so we know what they love.

Oh, God. Jesus Christ. Dude,
you really overdid it on the tanner.

- Well, it's a farmer's tan.
- You're not a farmer.

But my guy is.

Your guy? What guy?

You know what? Just start.

Right. Uh... So, let's begin.

Okay.

Well, here we are.

Mmm.

Sure can't wait to see Frank.

I can't wait
to meet the lucky lady.

If Frank likes her,
I'll like her.

So, where are they?

Well, our lovable old pal Charlie is
on his way over with them right now.

- Oh. Speak of the devil.
- Huh.

Here they are.
Come on in, guys. It's open.

He's so bald.

Hello, everybody.

Frank, Frank's date, come on in.

Thanks, Charlie. I'm starving.

Um, me too. Because I'm a slut
who likes to shove things in her mouth.

Oh.

Right.

So... Whoo!

What a day.

You guys will not believe
what happened to me.

Okay. Well, I'm sure
it's a very interesting story.

But we don't want to hear it,
because we're here to talk to Frank.

I wanna hear Charlie's story
because he looks crazy.

No, no, no, no. You don't want
to hear his story,

because you were gonna
tell us more about yourself.

- What happened to you?
- -You were gonna tell us more...

- Yes.
- You were gonna tell us

- more about yourself.
- I'm Mac. Uh, I love Jesus,

and therefore am not gay.

- What?
- I am a farmer, and I plow the fields.

And that's why I have this farmer's
tan, which plays in the fly-over states.

- That's good.
- And I live with Dennis in a friendship,

man-to-man, nongay role.

- Oh, okay. Yeah. Let's not...
- Right, Dennis?

The more he tries to hammer it home,
the more it sounds like we do do it.

- There is no gay here.
- It's irrelevant. He's gay, I'm straight.

- They just live together.
- Yeah. Which is totally normal

- for two middle-aged men.
- Right.

- They like when I'm funny.
- Don't refer to them.

They like when I'm funny.

- Did you notice that?
- No.

Hey, you guys wanna hear the
one about the Chinaman's doctor?

- No, no. Hang on.
- They don't.

That is so racist.

I yelled at a coyote the other day.
Would anyone like to see a reenactment?

Yeah?

- This is a good story.
- Yeah. It came at me, and I was like...

- Tell 'em what you said.
- I was so super cool.

I was like, "Later, bro."

No, you screamed at it.

Well, this was a goddamn nightmare. I
mean, Charlie, what happened, dude?

I confused the shampoo
with the Nair hair removal.

And then, you know, it came off.

Jesus Christ, man. And, Mac,
why are you back in the closet?

I wanted to appeal
to the fly-over states.

Go woke, go broke.
That's what you always say.

I don't say that,
you say that, all right?

And people were confused, all
right? They think we're a couple.

Oh. Okay. Well, maybe
America is ready for us.

There is no us. Mac, stop
trying to groom me, okay?

And please stop saying,
"Go woke, go broke."

What'd we get?
What was our score?

- Twenty-two.
- Out of what?

Out of a goddamn 100!

- Oh, is that low?
- Yeah... That's very low.

This is exactly
what I was talking about.

That's why I had a script.

That being said, you know, some of
these comments are a little bit confusing.

I mean, like, they didn't like
when I said, "Speak of the devil."

I didn't like that either. You
know, you shouldn't speak of Satan.

- And you said, "speak of the devil."
- He was speaking of the devil.

- I heard that too.
- It's a figure of speech.

- Mmm. You were speaking of Satan.
- Yeah.

America doesn't like that,
and I don't like that.

- I don't like to represent...
- I was speaking of the person...

So who tested the highest?

Well... Mac and Dee tested
the highest, which is crazy.

- Oh!
- Oh, yeah!

- Well, well done.
- I didn't say you tested high.

I said you tested
the highest, you know.

Unbelievably, they thought Dee was funny,
except for the goddamn Chinaman comment.

Which was completely
inappropriate, bitch.

Listen, I can take a note. I'll go
woke and I'll switch to clean comedy.

How about no comedy at all,
okay? That's what's woke.

I mean, awaken to the fact
that you're just not funny.

- Hmm.
- Nah.

- Dennis, what'd they like about me?
- Yeah.

This one wanted to hear more
about your bad boy tendencies?

- These have to be a mistake.
- I am a bad boy.

Yeah. So you're gonna stick
with the straight thing?

- I don't know. We'll see.
- It's working for you.

- What'd they think about me?
- Well, they thought you had cancer.

Why?

- Because you do look like you have cancer.
- -Mmm.

And they were confused
about the volleyballs.

I mean, they didn't know
what that was.

That's crazy.
What else confused them?

Goddamn everything! I mean,

they were very confused about mine and
Mac's living arrangement for some reason.

Hey, uh, quick question.
Who scored the lowest?

Oh.

Uh...

- That's just completely unclear.
- Can I see that?

- Just for a second.
- You know... No.

You're not gonna get
any information from it, Dee.

- It was Dennis.
- It was Dennis?

Yeah, of course it was. Yeah. They
thought he was bossy and he looked old.

I mean, somebody has
to be the boss, right?

- Of dinner?
- "Why was the old man so bossy?

He looked haggard."

No, no, no. You're...
Now you're making stuff up.

"His features were so sunken,

it was hard to concentrate
on the story."

Old? Haggard?
No, these are...

No. That was a lighting thing.

I gave you guys the best lighting
because I knew I looked the best,

and I wanted you guys to look
good too. And I wanted them to...

They... No. Old? Come on.
That's completely insane.

Get your shit together!

Okay. Thank you all for coming.
Uh...

Most of you are new, and I think some
of you may have been at the last show.

I guess you wanted to see this
again. That's... That's good, I suppose.

Uh, well,
for those of you who are new...

Ooh.

Great crowd out there.

- What are you wearing?
- Oh.

I'm going for the bad guy
in Commando look.

You know, like,
"Who's straighter than that?"

Dude, you look
like Freddie Mercury.

Oh, cool. He's like
the straightest man alive.

He couldn't have been more gay. I
mean, he was in a band called Queen.

You know what? If you want to look
straight, go grab the duster or something.

- What's with the face tape?
- This? Well, it's just, you know...

It's a way to kind of tighten
the skin up a little bit.

Give me a more youthful
appearance. You know what I mean?

Okay.

What is this?

It's just a clean comedy look.
It's classic.

Can we not, okay?
I mean, a rubber chicken?

- Are you ser...
- Yeah. Come on.

- Is this tape coming off? Goddamn it.
- You got tape on your face?

- Yeah, and it's not sticking very well.
- I think you need more.

You think I need more of it?

Well, yeah. You said you wanted
to look youthful, yeah?

Yeah. I don't want to look crazy.
Maybe I'll just tighten it up a little bit.

- Yeah.
- A little bit. Yeah.

- Yeah. Okay. All right.
- Yeah.

So, without further ado,
let's begin.

Oh.

Stop.

Oh!

Uh-oh.

Well. Here we are. Uh... I
sure am excited to see Frank.

Oh, gosh. I can't wait
to meet the lucky lady.

Yeah. Frank likes her,
I'll like her.

- Okay.
- Yeah. I wonder where they are.

Oh, well, our lovable old pal Charlie's
on his way over with them right now.

- Oh.
- Look at that.

Speak of the...
Speak of the guy.

Mm-hmm.

Here they are. Oh, it's open.

Hello, everybody.

Say hello
to Frank and Frank's date.

Heya, gang.

- I'm getting paid for this, right?
- Yeah, yeah.

Well, come on in. Hey, Charlie.
How you doin', man?

Not sure why you're doing
that accent, you know?

Pretty confusing, you know. I
must not have heard you correctly,

because you are from right here
in Philadelphia.

- No, that's not true actually.
- It is.

No, I'm from Eastern European
territory.

Uh... So, what's for dinner?

Beet soup, I hope.

- Stop it.
- What are you doing?

I'm just talking
in my natural European way.

I like it, because white people
doing funny accents is not woke.

I thought we were doing woke.

Shut up!

Sorry about that.

So, Frank and Frank's date,
I'm Dennis.

Um... I live here with Mac in a totally
age-appropriate and platonic relationship.

But like you, Frank, I hope to
meet my special someone someday.

Meh.

Yeah.

- Where the hell did that come from?
- Oh.

Oh, okay. It was funny.
It was funny.

When I'm not palling around with
Dennis platonically in the bedroom,

I like to strap on my leathers
and perform badass stunts.

Would anyone like
to see a backflip?

Okay. Well, hey now,
let's not encourage him.

He can't actually do one.

- He can't.
- Right? No, he can't.

So, guys, guess how much me
and this broad banged boots?

Tell 'em, honey.

- What are you doing?
- Do I have a line?

- No.
- I didn't get a script.

No. Artemis, can you stick
to the script?

The script's a little thin,
so I'm trying to just ad-lib.

What are you doing?

I'm doing a goddamn backflip.

You can't stop me.

Because the power
of Christ compels me.

- Badass.
- Stop.

Oh, no. Oh.

Seventy-five.
Am I reading that right?

- Yeah. That's a big improvement.
- Wow. We did great.

It was a goddamn circus.
What are you guys talking about?

No... Charlie,
why did you do an accent?

Well, dude, I look weird.
I don't feel like myself.

So I figured
I'd be someone different.

Like that funny cousin in Perfect
Strangers? Remember that guy?

- Yes.
- Yeah. No, I like you doing a character,

but don't make it funny.
I got the jokes covered.

- Oh. Do you, Dee?
- I'm the funny...

Do you? Because this card says,

"The one in the plaid suit
seemed sad and desperate.

And I was only laughing
because I was so uncomfortable."

Oh, yeah?
You know what this one says?

- What?
- "What's with the angry man

with the old face who's
constantly yelling at his boyfriend?"

I could not have made it more
clear that he's not my boyfriend!

- You kept saying it over and over.
- Oh, my God.

And how could I possibly
look old? I mean, no.

Who scored the highest?

I think you did.

Oh, yeah? Let me see.

"I love when the vampire slayer busted
out the crucifix on his old vampire lover."

Me? "Old vampire lover"?

Let's lean into that. Yeah,
I can be like a vanilla Blade,

and I could stab you in the
heart with the crucifix and be...

- Stop! Goddamn it.
- And then you kiss...

For the love of God, stop.

Okay, all right. You know what?

You two will
limit your exchanges

to "hello," "yes" and "no."
And that's it.

And the rest of you will refrain from
doing accents or personas of any kind.

I will do all the costumes,
hair and makeup.

And there will
be no other surprises at all.

And so help me God,
we will get this right!

I mean, I get a vampire vibe
off that, right?

- Do you not?
- We're gonna get slashed.

Yeah,
like a Count Dracula thing.

Okay. Thank you all for coming.

I see mostly familiar faces,
so welcome back.

That crowd is amped.

- Yeah, well...
- Oh, yeah?

Too bad Dennis cut
everything they liked.

Come on, Dee. No, trust me. Trust me.
Guys, this is exactly what America wants.

Didn't it start, like, here, and then
go up and over? Like it would...

No, no. I mean,
you're not a werewolf.

I'm thinking of Teen Wolf,
aren't I?

- I think so. Yeah.
- I'm just blown away, man.

I just, like, don't know how you
got the wig that good, you know?

Like, do you wear a wig?
This is crazy, dude.

Do I wear a wig? No. Nonsense.

- For real, though. Do you?
- Stop!

Dude. All right, fine, man. I'm
just thinking, it's so good, man.

- Just...
- All right, the show's gonna start.

Do you have time to do
yourself, and then we'll get going?

What do you mean? I did do me.

- Oh, you're all done?
- Yeah, I put the... Do I need more tape?

Uh... Well...

Oh.

- We should bow. We should bow.
- Absolutely.

- No, don't bow. Don't bow.
- But they're clapping so much.

I know. Don't, like... Don't
even notice that they're there.

- You take my chicken?
- Mm-hmm.

Mac. I bet you have a boom box
under that table, don't you?

- Nope.
- Yeah, you do. Let me see it.

- I don't have one.
- Let me see it.

- You better do it, dude.
- Just do it.

I was...
I was gonna play a cool song.

- Let's see what you were gonna play.
- It was fun and cool.

- Kid Rock. How fun.
- Bawitdaba...

But we're not doing that. This
is gonna be a classy evening,

so I came prepared with
something a little different.

Oh.

There we go.
Isn't that nice?

- I guess.
- Yeah.

Well, here we are.
I'm so excited to see Frank.

Yeah. Uh... I can't wait
to meet the lucky lady.

Mmm.

- If Frank likes her, I'll like her.
- Yeah.

So where are they?

Oh. Here they are. Speak of...
It's open.

Well, hello. Hey, guys.

Welcome. Come on in.

Yeah, close the door.
Yeah. Good.

- Like we rehearsed.
- Hello.

Hello.

Wonderful. Well, I'm Dennis.

And, uh, this is my apartment.
I live here with my friend, Mac.

My longtime friend.
But not eternal, you know.

'Cause we're not vampires.
Obviously.

That... That'd be crazy. Um...

But, yeah.
Soon to have our own places.

Uh, but not because we're poor. Uh,
but because we're economically savvy.

And... But still quite young.

Oh, Dee, you-you were saying?

Hi, I'm Dee.
Frank was a great father.

No.

You got a great sense
of humor, Frank. No.

Hey, Charlie. You had a...

Oh. Uh...

Shoot, do I have a line?

No, you were just gonna say
something off the cuff, I think.

Uh, I don't remember what it...
I'll make something up. Um...

Hey, Frank's date.
Where are you from?

Uh...

Hello, hello.

- Yes. Hello, hi. Hi, hello. Yeah, hi!
- Hello.

- Hi!
- Hi! Hello!

What is this?

It's, uh...

Well, you don't talk. I mean,
what are you doing, man?

The audience never talks
to the cast of the show.

Perhaps a flip
to lighten the mood?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

No, no, no, no, no.
You're not gonna do a flip.

Because it doesn't make sense to do a flip
in the middle of a dinner for no reason.

- Let your boyfriend flip.
- Yeah!

- He's not my boyfriend!
- I'm with this guy. Let him flip.

What are you doing?

- Stop it.
- And add one flip. You know what I mean?

- Let him do just one flip.
- All right, I'll do one. A quick accent.

No, you're not listening!
You don't understand!

You're not getting this.

We are not lovers.

We're simply roommates, you see.

It's not so difficult to
understand. Not so difficult at all.

Two men entwined only by the walls
that house us and the passage of time.

That is all. Nothing more.

We are all classy men
and women alike.

But none more classy than me.
Refined and dignified

and not the least bit abnormal
in any way.

I need you to see this.

Yes?

All is well
and palatable and good.

You must know this

and you must reflect it as such
on the cards that you've been given.

Do you understand?
I need this of you.

You must make it so.

There was another show...

by the name of Family Fight

and I was not properly
represented on that show

and I cannot and will... not abide
another failure of that magnitude.

I just need you to see me as...
I am.

I need this.
I need this from you.

I...

I need this from you. Please.

This is amazing.

What the fuck's he doing?

So that's why you've been so crazed?
Because you panicked on Family Fight?

Yes, dude. You don't
understand the humiliation.

I hope for your sake
you never do.

Dee, how'd we score this time?

- Oh.
- Uh...

- Three.
- Three what?

The number three
out of a hundred.

- That's it?
- Yeah, they hated it.

Dennis scared
the shit out of 'em.

Well, look, man, forget it.
Like, can we just be us, okay?

We're trying to please everybody
and, like, that never works, man.

Like people need
to get ya or they don't get ya.

- You know what I'm saying?
- Yes.

All right. Yeah.

Does anybody else think it's weird
that they haven't showed up yet?

- That who hasn't showed up?
- Yeah.

Frank, the producers.
The entire TV show.

I mean, we've been doing this
whole thing for a while now.

Oh, shit. Yeah, they should've been
here by now. What's it been, like, a week?

It's been a month.

- We've been doing this for a month?
- Yeah, it's been a month.

- I think it's been a solid month.
- Look up the show. Look it up.

I'm gonna look it up.
Give me a sec.

That episode aired
two weeks ago.

- That's the hometown visit?
- Yes.

What the...

This is a big day for me!
I can't wait to see my...

Oh! There's my family. Ah!
It's so, so nice to see you.

- Dad.
- It's so good to see you.

- Guys.
- What the...

- Who the hell are these people?
- He replaced us.

- He replaced us?
- -It is so good to see you.

They would never do anything
to embarrass me in any way.

- Dude.
- Yeah.

I guess he went woke.
And he didn't go broke.
