You haven't gone yet, right?
What's your name?

-Benji. Yeah.
-Benji?

All right, let's go.

Hi, my name is
Benjamin Cornejo.

I'm here to audition
for the role of Pasqual.

Hi, I'm Jay Garcia,

and I'm auditioning
for the role of Pasqual.

-Pasqual.
-Pasqual.

-Pasqual.
-Pasqual.

- What's your name, bro?
- Oh, my name?

What's going on, y'all?
My name is Gio.

-Wala Prince.
-I'm Eddie.

Hello,
my name's Ernesto Garcia.

What do you know
about music videos?

I mean...

That they're fun,
they got crazy shit happening.

I don't know.

What's your favorite video?

Anything with Drake.

- Oh, you like Drake?
- Yeah, he's hot.

Okay.

Bro, what do you think it
takes to be a good director?

You have to be kind
to your crew,

your set.
You have to be really...

The blueprint, you know,
the plan.

You gotta know
what you're doing.

Creativity at the table
and being...

Allowing things happen.

My girlfriend almost dumped
me for dancing...

Push people around.

Being able
to experience life...

The setting, the lighting,
the characters.

And, uh, you know, I've been
in a couple porn sets, too.

Just, I didn't want
to throw it out there,

but I did a little background
stuff on that, too, you know?

All right, so, Miguel,
what do you think it takes

to become a great director?

Hey, bro,
I just gotta become you.

Your daughter
is gonna outlive you.

Everything goes well,
and it's a good life.

You're gonna live to be...

Well, if you use me
as a measuring scale,

you're gonna live to be
at least 75.

Those are a lot of moments
to make memories.

You know, the more robust

and successful you are
in your career,

the more it's gonna benefit
your family.

So you have to keep your eye
on the ball on that.

You just can't let it consume

and take you away
from the obligations

and the importance
of your family.

Oh, have I thrashed too hard
at James Blake?

Is she alive?

You gotta find her.

I think I got something.

Kinda feels like a hard thing.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

She's alive.

When do you think you're going

to clean out your office
so we can start,

like, moving the nursery?

Um, I don't know.

- What do you mean?
- Soon, soon.

We should make a plan

because I feel like all our,
all this stuff is, like,

piling up and there's
nowhere to put it.

No, I know.

And then it's like
we're living in, like,

cluster fest.

It's, like, it's,
like, interrupting my chi.

Well, I'll
start, I'll start today.

-I'll start this weekend.
-Today?

I'll start,
I'll do a little bit today.

Okay.

Who are you texting?

I'm just doing,
I'm sorry.

I wish
I was your phone

so you could touch me all day.

Jeez.

Got my little bull head.

I think we should try
to clear everything out

before they install
the wallpaper on Saturday.

Yeah, I know. I know.

So, this is a lot of stuff.

This is my life, you know?

This is my whole life
right here.

Why don't you
divide it into groups?

I'm moving my life away.
That's what I'm doing
right now.

Maybe it's easier
to divide it into groups of,

like, things you want
to keep, maybes, and then
for sure, yeah.

Okay, boxes, keep. Okay?

-Boxes, keep.
-I think the boxes are trash.

Absolutely,
boxes are being kept.

-Okay?
-The boxes are trash.

I can put my tax documents
in there. Okay?

I can get you a proper folder
to put into a drawer

for your tax documents,
not in a Nike shoebox.

That's literally trash.

It's not trash to me.

You touch your stuff
and I'll touch mine.

All right, well,
I mean... Okay. That's fair.

I mean, these guys
can go right here.

Are you sure?

Aren't those, like, handy
for hiking?

-When are we gonna hike?
-No, I mean...

We got a couple years
before we go hiking.

Well, if we don't need a hike,
then we should get rid

of all this camping stuff.

Unless we move into nature...

Yeah.

And we go on daily hikes

with our daughter
to the waterfall.

-Yeah. Well...
-Then you'll need these.

I don't know about that idea.

- What do you mean?
- I want to be...

You know, I want our kid
to be cultured,

you know? I want to be...

You can have culture
in nature.

Well, maybe, like,

the most extreme version is,
like, Idlewild.

But then, like, what about,
like, Altadena?

Yeah, but what about
my office?

-What's for?
-What about your office?

I'm gonna, like, live in a big
mountain and I have to go...

commute every day and...

Well, I mean,
get a new office.

Or just work from home.

Yeah, but what about
my partner? Like...

We're developing
this movie, you know?

Like, it's gonna be hard.

I feel like, it's like,
okay, I like that.

The idea is cool, right,
like, in theory,

but, like, it's not realistic
to me, you know?

I don't think...

I don't think I can do that,
you know?

-Okay.
-You want this?

No, but don't you use it?

Isn't it something you take
to your office?

No.

That's not bad.
This isn't bad.

This stuff feels good.

-Yeah, it's like--
-This stuff feels good to me.

It's postable.
I think it's postable.

-I think it's postable.
-Yeah, I think that's right.

-I think we have...
-You have to post it.

Yeah, I think we gotta put...
We gotta put credits
at the end.

Now that we know
how this works, right?

-Yeah. Right. Yeah, it's true.
-Right?

The whole point of this thing.

That's true. It's true.
It's true.

-It's for the cause.
-We gotta post the book.

We gotta put credits or
something here, or a title.

Yeah.

Because otherwise,
this just feels
fucking strange.

-You know what I mean?
-Yeah.

Oh, fuck.

And that's a cut.

Okay, moving on.

Let's look at this one.

Oat milk.
That's what I need.

-Woke milk.
-That stuff is great.

Yeah, dude. It's fire.

It's good for you, too.

-It's, uh, Raul. Yeah?
-What's that?

-Raul?
-No, no, no.

-Pasqual, actually.
-Oh.

No, no, no. Raul's my partner.

-He's over there.
-Oh, okay. Sick.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No,
we look similar. It's okay.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-What's up?
-What's up? What's up?

-Did you check the email?
-What email?

The Drake email.

You guys are always
on your phones,

but you guys don't check
your emails, bro.

What's up, man?

Drake video.
Looks like it's gonna happen.

What we doing, bro?

-Drake? Drake?
-Drake.

-What we gonna do?
-OVO Drake?

Yes, Drake, bro.

When do they need
the treatment?

They need it probably in,
like, two weeks.

Okay. What's the budget?

Budget? God's plan, bro.

-Yeah, all right.
-Open checkbook.

No, probably, probably, like,
a mil, something like that.

Well, when they trying
to shoot it, bro?

-February.
-February? Fuck, man.

Bro, I'm having
my fucking kid.

Who gives a fuck, bro?

Bro, I told you
about this already.

I know, but this is,
we gotta do this.

-This is Drake, bro.
-Yeah, bro, but...

Hey, look,
you telling me, man.

Look, I have a kid, bro.
You telling me

you can't figure out one day
to do this video?

Bro, I can't do it, bro.

Christine's already tripping,
bro.

Like, literally,
two days ago, I was like...

Hey, man, it's time
to tighten up them panties,
boy.

You gotta
tell Christine,

"Hey, Christine,
look, we're having a baby.

This baby's gonna cost money."
You like your BMW.

You like your other BMW.
You gotta make some money.

Yeah, that's facts.
That's facts.

Come on, man.
This is for clout, bro.

Like, I'm a clout monster,
bro. I need this.

We gotta do it.

You gotta work to support
the kid.

Come on, bro.
What about Raul
just doing solo?

-Huh?
-Raul can just do it solo.

Nah. So the thing is,
I already talked to them,

and they're like... I don't
know what happened, man.

I already tried to explain,
you know,

that maybe RJ's
the only one available,

that you need to step off.

But they said they need both
of you.

And I already told them, I'm
like, "Look, you know what?

"To be honest, guys,
you want RJ,

because he's
the better director."

I'm just kidding.

-It's alright.
-But...

I don't understand
why they like that, though.

I don't understand
why they need both of us.

Because it's called
Cliqua-Mundo.

Clique. Cliqua. Clique.

Alright, alright, alright.

It's funny how that happens.

You think you're getting
a duo, so you need a duo.

I mean,
it kind of makes sense.

You guys represent yourselves
as a duo.

Bro, I don't know, bro.

I was kicking it with
Christine two days ago.

We were already on this walk

and she was already, like,
tripping on it, bro.

-She was tripping on it, dude.
-Saying what?

She's just saying I need
to take more time off, man.

Like, when in February?

Is it in the beginning
of February?

-Yeah, probably right...
-The beginning of February?

Probably first week.

That's when the baby is due,
isn't it?

Yeah, we've already tried to
figure out days to move it to,

but they're saying that,
I don't know,

something about Drake
and, you know,

going to fucking Turks
and shit like that.

They said it has to be
the first week.

It would be dumb not to do it,
though, for real.

Yeah, we have to do it.
Absolutely.

Figure it out.

We're going
to make this whole...

Look, Pasqual,
we'll make this whole thing.

We can just show up
on the day.

We'll make
your call time right,

like, 10 minutes
before he shows up.

You know? You got to
be on a couple calls.

That's all you got to do, bro.
It'll be easy.

Just got to show face.
One day. Eight hours.

We'll put you on
an eight-hour time card, bro.

Oh, it's like what we did
with Usher.

Yeah.

Let's do this, man.
Let's do this.

Let's just get on the call.

Let's see
what they're talking about.

-Okay.
-Yeah, yeah.

Maybe, you know,

in a couple days, you'll grow
some balls, bro.

-Oh, my God.
-Tell Christine like,
"Yo, look,

I gotta do this, alright?"
This is Drake.

We're talking about
Drake, bro.

The biggest artist
in the world, bro.

-That's true.
-Alright, alright.

-We're going to do this, bro.
-Send us a song.

-Send us a song.
-We're going to do it, right?

-We're going to do it, right?
-All right. All right.

We'll figure it out.
We'll figure it out.

We'll talk after this.

-All right.
-All right, man.

Fuck, man.

-Boy, we got to do Drake.
-Yeah.

I don't know, man.

It's tough, man, it's tough.

How much do you remember from
when you were one week old?

Bro, I don't remember.

It's not about that, though,
dude. It's not about that.

It's about Christine, man.

I gotta be there for her,
you know?

I don't know.

We'll do the call.
I'll do the call.

I'll do the call.
We'll just see.

Hi.

You got a second?

Yeah. I'm on
my way to a photoshoot.

But just, yeah, real quick.
What's up?

It's like, uh, okay,
we got, like,

a really dope
Super Bowl project.

Like, a Super Bowl project.

It's with Asics and Dua Lipa.

Um, she's mixing with NCL.

in Montreal.

I'm about to burst any second.

What's the budget?

- It's $250K.
- $250K in two weeks?

Dude, no.

- No.
- You got Dua Lipa.

Let me think about this.
Alright, let me call you back.

Let me call you back
after this shoot.

Okay, I love you. I love you.

Bye.

Dude, there's no fucking way.

Like, $250K,
shoots in two weeks?

I don't even give a shit
about the Super Bowl.

Who cares about the Super Bowl?

I mean, what do you think?
No, dude.

It's, like, not even worth
my time.

Like, this is
so much more important.

Like, I can't even waste
a brain cell on this.

I love that.

How have you been, Graham?

Uh, been pretty good,
you know? Pretty busy.

How about you?

Pretty good. Pretty
good. Pretty busy as well.

Yeah, what
have you been working on?

I got hit up to do
this fucking Drake video,

actually, the other day.

- Drake? Wow.
- OVO.

You didn't tell me about that.

Well, we're, um, we're trying
to figure out the dates.

When does he want to shoot it?

They want to do it in February
right now, actually.

- February?
- Yeah, I know.

But that's when
we're having the baby.

No, I know. I know.

We're, we're,
we're working it out.

Okay, well,
can Raul just do it alone?

Well...

Not gonna miss that, right?

No, no, no.
That's the problem.

Drake or the baby?

I can't even believe
this is a thing.

Well, that's why
I didn't talk to you about it.

Your baby, Drake?

It's not even
on the same scale.

I know. I know.

Maybe if it was...

It is your career, though.

- It is my career.
- Oh, my God.

- It is my career.
- Romeo, sit.

That was good.

How do you want us?

Um, honestly,
it's working for me.

Maybe look toward the light,
Christine.

And, P, look, P, look
maybe toward her belly.

Beautiful.

Great.

Should've worked out more.

Do you wanna get a video?

No, uh, I wanna be there
for the kid. You know?

-Yeah.
-Maybe they can just convince

them Raul can do it.

And you can prep it
or whatever.

No, I know, but they won't.

It's like some
stupid political shit

-Ryan was talking about.
-Mm.

I think we're good.
I think we're good.

I've been reading
this book, right,

all these fatherhood books,

And this one guy described
this, this study that he did.

And he described it
as an amnesiac phenomenon

where he interviewed
all these fathers.

And these young fathers
within their first year

couldn't remember who they
were before having the baby.

It's been the thing that's
been fucking me the most,
I'd say.

It's like
the discontinuity in yourself.

Yes, yes.

Like I'm splitting into, am I
becoming a whole new person?

I'm not ready
to give this person up yet.

You know?
I'm not ready for it.

I'm ready for the baby.

I'm not ready
to get rid of me.

You know?

You seem a little stressed.

I'm stressed. Yeah.

Definitely stressed.
I got shingles, actually.

- You got shingles?
- I got shingles.

You see it? It's like this...

This little cut thing?

Yeah. It's like a teardrop.
I got shingles.

I thought it was
an old person disease.

No, no, no, no. I got it from
stress. I got it from...

This is the legitimate thing.
It's not...

It will never go away.

It's never gonna go away?

The doctor told me
it will never go away.

This is the rest of my life.

And I got it
in the second trimester.

Because I was so stressed.

Because Christine
was, like, struggling,

you know, in the pregnancy.
She's like, "I'm sick.

I'm sick.
I'm not feeling well.

I'm, like,
nauseous every day."

And I was doing
this fucking music video.

And I was traveling
all over the world just, like,

dealing with,
like, fucking famous people.

I just felt stupid. You know?

Like, I'm like, dude,
I should be with my partner.

- Yeah.
- But then once I did that,

I was like...
I feel like I was like,

Raul, "Dude, where are
you at?" You know?

It didn't, like,
alleviate the stress.

No, I kind of just dipped out
at one point

and just went
to spend time with her.

And that's when I got
the shingles.

- That's when I got it.
- That's fucking crazy.

It was when I went back
to see her.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's like a hole
in your nose?

There's a hole
in my nose. Yeah.

What do you mean?

It's like a cut that forms?

I don't know
how to describe it.

It was like a...
It's a deep...

It's like a nerve...
It attacks the nervous system.

So, like, I got it here
and it was, like, spreading.

It actually went to my eye.
It was pretty scary.

- Did you go blind?
- I didn't go blind.

- I can still see you.
- Obviously.

- I am still...
- Is that the risk?

That's the risk.
That's the risk.

Well, that's fucked.

Because that's also
your career right there too.

You know what I mean?

Music video directors,
they don't need eyes.

Yeah, true, true.
You just need grills.

Damn she's cute. Fuck.

Oh, shit.

Hey, you look better in person
than in your pictures.

I'm not gonna lie.

We should just go.

Yeah. All right, fuck it then.
Let's go.

You know, my Challenger looks
good with you in it.

Looks good with you.
Like it matches you, you know?

It matches me?

Yeah, like, you know,

you look good
on my passenger seat with me.

I thought you said
it matches me.

Yeah, like, it matches you.

Like everything about you,
like your personality, like,

you know, it goes with you.

That might be
a little...

Huh?

It might be a little bad

because I kind of want
to go home.

Alright, for sure.

Alright, let's go home then.

Hey, you can't be here, man.

It's private property.

Hey, this is private
property, my boy.

Um, I have to ask you
to leave.

This is, uh, private property.

Hey, uh,
you can't be here, sir.

All right, guys, which one
of you is Miguel?

All right, let's go.

My name is Miguel Huerta,
and I'm ready to become
Pasqual.

So you think you have
a good work ethic?

I have the best work ethic.
I don't feel comfortable

thinking that anybody
would ever outwork me.

I feel like it's just...

I don't know how to explain
it, but this is who I am.

It's the simple quote
of never give up.

Because I've never given up.

I've had millions
of people tell me

that I can't do nothing
in life,

that I'm not gonna go
anywhere,

that I'm just gonna be
washed up,

that I'm gonna have,
like, a 9:00 to 5:00,

that I'm just not gonna do
anything in life.

And this has given me
the opportunity

to prove them all wrong.

So, never giving up.
And look, I'm here.

Even though I might not get
the part,

I'm still showing up.
I'm never giving up.

Thank you, bro.
Thank you.

I, um...

So, I want to run
something by you.

- Okay.
- So...

Honest opinion.

So...

You know, we've been talking
about it.

I have an idea.
This Drake thing?

- The Drake video?
- Yes. Yeah.

So I was kind
of thinking, right?

Like...

The commissioners, they don't
know what I look like.

Right?
Because it's a new client.

They don't know
what I look like.

And, obviously,
I'm not gonna miss my birth.

- Absolutely not.
- Yes, of course.

Of course not.

You know... Like...

- Bro's a good friend.
- Yeah, yeah.

Big Drake guy.
Look at the guy.

- He is.
- He's an OVO guy.

He's a very big
OVO guy.

So, I'm thinking that,
like...

I'm gonna cast this kid.

- I found this guy.
- In the video?

I'm gonna cast
this kid to be me

and just pretend to be me.

For the video.
Basically, like...

It's like a surrogate
version of me.

You know? Like, it's like...

Maybe it's...
Is it in Curb or something?

I've seen it before.
But, you know...

I get, like,
a surrogate version of me.

He looks like me.

He wants to be a director.
You know?

I'm like...
It's like a mentor.

It's like a glorified mentor.
He's a shadow.

He's a shadow man. Yeah, yeah.

The shadow.
But he's the real...

It's not a shadow.

He's just pretending to be me.

I'm gonna give him
my Instagram handle.

I'm gonna train him
for a period of time.

-Okay.
-And then I can do the...

The video.

I can do the video
by not doing the video.

And I can be there
for Christine.

And actually be there
for Christine.

-Okay.
-I don't know.

-It's a little crazy, but...
-No.

-Or it's pretty good.
-Sounds insane, to be honest.

It sounds... It sounds like...

Sounds kind of dumb, dude.
I don't know that you, like...

-I'm just saying, like...
-But I'm just thinking...

Okay, go ahead.
I want to hear it.

No, I want to hear it.
I want to hear it.

I mean, it's just...

How, like...
He's gonna pretend to be you.

-He's gonna pretend to be me.
-It's not, like...

It's not, you know...

If it was, like, in a video
or something, sure.

But in real life,
that's just a lie, right?

Of course it's a lie.
But no one knows.

He's coming.
I think he's gonna come here.

-To the baby shower? Okay.
-Yeah, yeah. He's great.

He's great. I got this guy.

I found him on Craigslist.
He's in East LA.

-You found him on Craigslist?
-I found him on Craigslist.

I mean, he looks...
He's got a good look.

You'll see. When you see him,
you're gonna be...

I think
you're gonna be impressed.

Okay.

But I know.
It's a little crazy.

But I also just kind
of think that, like...

Dude, it's just...

Like this
music video shit, man,

it's, people do it with
their fucking eyes closed.

You know? You know that.

Yeah, sure.
How high are the stakes? Sure.

Right. Right?

But, also, it's like...

I don't know.
How does Raul feel?

You know what I mean? Like...

Then what if Drake wants
to do another video?

You're gonna
have to hire this other dude?

Well, I get him
to look exactly like me.

And then you just slip in and
hope that he doesn't notice?

People mistake me
and Raul all the time.

-That's true. It's true.
-You know?

It's a funny idea.
It's a funny idea.

You're a funny guy.
And it's a funny idea.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- It's good.

But it's,
it's a little insane.

It is a little bit.

- I got a present.
- Oh, hello.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- How are you?

-This is for the baby.
-Oh, thank you.

All right.
Nice meeting you, everybody.

-This is my son, Nolan.
-Hi.

- Nice to meet you.
- I'm Jennifer.

- Oh, you're Jennifer.
- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

This is Maddie.

-Hi.
-Hi, nice to meet you.

This is Miguel.

Nice to meet you, too.

You can handle your alcohol?

-Somewhat, yeah.
-Okay, good. Okay, good.

Like 80% sure.

80%? Okay. That's good enough.

Probably like 50%
with the Henny.

Oh, Henny makes you go crazy?

Yeah, Henny-thing's possible.

Oh, Henny-thing's possible!

Here's the thing,
to become a director...

-Yeah. Really?
-It's not that hard, bro.

It's not that hard.
Not that hard.

-You just gotta be confident.
-Confident?

You gotta be confident.
You're hardworking.

You told me
you're hardworking already.

That's great. That's step one.

Working hard.
Step two, confidence.

Even if you don't know
the answer, bro,

you just say, "Yes."

You just say you got it.
Just say you got it.

Never say that you don't know.

If you say you don't know
and you're a director,

everyone's gonna be like,
"Oh, fuck.

We're fucked."
You know what I mean?

You're just gonna be like,
"Oh, yeah, man, no worries.

We'll figure it out."

And then if you're really
worried, you just be like,

"Let me talk to my producer."

When you do music videos, you
gotta have a clean-ass cut.

Always. Always.

- Can't be looking dusty.
- That's a lot.

You know what I mean?

You look dusty, and they're
like, "Oh, this fool's a nerd.

This fool doesn't know
what's up."

Now, what's the thing?
What's the thing?

What's the thing
that I say when they ask you

if the video's gonna be good?
What do you gotta tell them?

It's gonna be awesome.

And it's gonna be a movie.

A movie. A movie.

It's gonna be a movie.

So here's one thing.

When you gotta go
to the bathroom,

-say "10-1." Just "10-1."
-"10-1"?

I don't know why,
you just say, "10-1."

That's crazy.

- That's crazy.
- That is crazy.

When you're wearing that shit

and when you're working
your security shift, bro,

you don't even need
a flashlight, bro.

Just that thing right there,
bro.

When the artist does it,
you don't want them to know

that you're rolling
the camera.

Because when you're like,
"Action,"

then everybody knows
you're rolling.

But if you go to the DP
and you say,

"Hey, 50-50,"
that's the low-key way.

You just press the record
button, he or she,

press the record button,
or they press
the record button, boom.

And now you got extra shit.

Oh, shit. Boom.

I feel like
a prince with this.

You are a prince, bro.
You're a fucking star.

You're a director, okay?
You are a prince.

-Back to one.
-Back to one.

-Fuck Vimeo.
-Yeah.

-Right?
-Uh-huh.

-Say it.
-Yeah.

-Say "Fuck Vimeo."
-Fuck Vimeo.

There we go.
That's what I'm talking about.

I feel like there's
this thing, like,

everyone's hitting me
out there,

like, "Yo, did you build
this shit yet?

Did you build this shit?"

I'm like, "Bro, I don't know
how to build this shit, bro.

I'm just trying to--
just fucking freestyling it
and over here,"

-you know what I mean?
-Well, yeah, of course.

It's like, yeah, I don't know.

Whenever you need help,
bro, I got you.

Nah, bro,
I appreciate you, man.
I appreciate you.

You know, I used to be
a stepfather.

That's why I kind of know
how to do all of this.

Wait, what?
You were a stepfather?

Yeah, for like a year.

I was, like, young and she
was, like, 20-something.

Wait, you were a stepfather
to children?

-Yeah, to two children.
-No way, bro.

-Yeah.
-No, deadass?

-I swear, I swear, yeah.
-No, bro. No, bro. No, bro.

-I have pictures to prove it.
-You have pics?

Let me see. Let me see.

Man, that's us babysitting
and then this is, let me see.

I want to get a good...

-Damn, what the fuck?
-Yeah.

Damn, you're a dad already.

-That's fucking crazy.
-Yeah.

That's crazy, man. What the...

Oh, shit. What's that?

What's up, fool?

Yo. Yo.

It's Miguel
He looks like me, right?

-Pretty good, right?
-Uh, yeah.

-Yeah.
-Exactly.

What the fuck?

He's gonna be me for the Zoom
call right now with Drake.

Because I can't be there.
I can't do the video.

I'm having the baby.

But I decided,
I figured, like,

this guy could just be me.

And we can do the job.

I'm still having the baby.
We don't have to say no.

So, yeah.
I got it figured out.

What does Miguel know
about directing?

What's he gonna say
on this call?

Oh, it's his dream, man.

He doesn't even know
that much shit, bro.

It's easy. This shit's easy.

Anybody can do this shit, bro.

These fools are
fucking idiots, man.

You just gotta sit there,
look like me, you know.

You do the talking, I gave him
some pointers, it'll be good.

It'll be good.
I think he's got it.

Should we talk
about this for a second?

The Zoom call's gonna happen,
like, right now.

-Just give us a second, okay?
-For sure. I got you.

All right.

Oh, okay. All right, man.

-Hey, you look good.
-Copy.

What the fuck?

You taught him copy, alright.
Great.

- I mean, alright, yeah.
- He's got the sauce.

He's got the sauce.

So, you want this dude,
you want this dude, like,

he looks like you,
but you want him to be in,

- in the Zoom?
- Yes, 100%.

- 100%.
- -Is he flexing right now?

I get that,
like, they want both of us,

so we're trying to figure out
a solution,

but, like, what's this dude's
level, though?

Is he, like,
a film student, at least?

Like, what's up with him?

No, bro, he's not, he's not,
okay?

But, bro, he's, he's from,
he's from East LA, you know?

-He's like us, right?
-Yeah.

And that's the whole thing
with Cliqua, right?

-We wanna, we wanna fucking...
-No, for sure.

We've been looking for,
like, we've been looking for,

like, someone to mentor,
but, like, I was thinking,

like, someone that, you know,
knows, knows film.

He has the drive.
He has the drive.

He has the drive.
I've been talking to him.

I cast, I, I interviewed tons
of people.

This fool is just, like,
dude, he's,

he's really
fucking down for it.
This is his dream, bro.

He's just never
had the opportunity
to do it before,

you know?
It's fucked up, man.

Like, this industry's
fucked up, you know?

Like, he'll never
have a shot, you know?

He'd never
have a shot otherwise.

-Yeah.
-I believe in him, man.

I really, I really think
he can do it.

And, dude,
these fucking OVO guys,

these guys are
fucking idiots, bro.

All their videos are fucking
trash, okay?

Our video's gonna be
the best one.

They're not gonna know
the fucking difference.

They're not gonna know
that he's not really me.

-Yeah.
-He looks exactly like me.

He's just gotta fucking play
the part, man.

And I've been coaching him.

I've, like, told him what
to say.

And, look, for the Zoom call,

I'm gonna stand over there,
okay?

-Yeah.
-I'll keep an eye on him.

-You take the lead.
-Yeah.

You take the lead.
But, you know, bro,

I think, I think,
look at this guy, man.

I mean, he looks like he's,
uh, I mean,

I think it works
in that respect, so.

-Yeah.
-I mean, alright, like,

I mean, if you're gonna coach
him right there,

let's just do it.

I mean, it's happening
right now,
so I think let's go,

and we'll figure it out.

-Just trust me.
-Alright.

-I trust you. Yes.
-Alright?

Yo. Hey, what's up?

Gentlemen.

Uh, Aubrey wanted
to join this call today,

but, uh, unfortunately,
he's unable to make it.

Jay just got back from Turks
with Aubrey,

and he's really, Aubrey's
the right-hand man,

so he's gonna be stepping
in today,

kind of speaking towards

all things Aubrey,
and, uh, and OVO.

Okay, cool. Cool.

Well, this is one half
of Click-A.

-This is Pasqual right here.
-What's up?

Nice to meet you guys.

Nice to meet you guys.

What's up, guys?
So, what's up?

What's up with this video?

Well, um, it's a big one.

We're really excited.

It's kind of a return
to form for Aubrey,

a return to his real
R&B roots.

Uh, the track
is called Head Over Heels,

and while we don't have
a fully robust creative,

we do have some ideas
that, uh,

we want to kind of
start things with

and seed things with.

So, Aubrey really likes
the idea of strippers,

first and foremost.

I think that's sort of like
the central thematic,

uh, movement of the piece.

Um, and what he likes
is strippers,

but maybe one
with really long hair.

Oh, you know
what's a good idea?

Probably, like, adding
100 Challengers to the theme.

Also, a thousand, a thousand
strippers, bitches everywhere,

just with Challengers,
and, like,

Drake just owning all
the challengers, and, like,

the bitches just
all over the Challengers,

and Drake with fire
all over that.

Bro, that would be crazy.
We just turn the fire purple.

-That's cinematic.
-Yeah, yeah. Let me finish.

Keep going, 12.
Sorry about that.

We're excited to get
this project kicked off,

and we know you guys are
the perfect fit,

so just keep an open mind
the way you always do.

Yeah, of course. Okay.

Uh, 12, can you speak
to the nails thing

that we were
talking about yesterday?

Yeah,
so another aspect that's

been really core
to kind of Aubrey's,

uh, image these days

is he's very, very focused
on his nails.

Nail art, uh, both elaborate
pedicures, manicures.

So, what he's looking
for is a lot,

it's very important to us
that we get a real focus.

Yo, hold on a second, Pasqual.

-Hold on a second.
-Sorry, Pasqual

is just really amped, dude,

because we're just such big
Drake fans.

He's just, like, really hyped
right now,

but we'll work on it
with you guys.

I'm hyped about Drake.

I'm glad to hear that,
but this is serious.

-This is serious.
-Yeah, of course. Of course.

We're serious guys.

Focusing on the nails.

You know, we really need

to be able to focus
on the colors of the nails.

♪ Yeah, you did say
you want me back ♪

♪ You're feeling sad now ♪

♪ Babygirl, I'm a dad now ♪

♪ Only time I dead beats
is whenever I rap now ♪

♪ You was on the center stage,
now you a background ♪

♪ I couldn't give you what you
needed if I wanted to ♪

♪ You couldn't give me ♪

Alright, guys.
We got 20 minutes.

That's it? 20 minutes.
We just got here.

Okay.

Alright, well,
let's get to it.

Alright, so we have
the seam up here, right?

I feel like that's a good spot
to do the stitch

to, like, extend the pole,
right?

Because the idea is that
you want this infinite pole

to, like, nowhere, right?
Like, goes into a black void.

Yeah.

And, like, the background's
already sort of black,

so I think, Nick,
maybe don't light back there.

And maybe we can put markers.

No, what we need
is to make this

into a Marvel movie-like
theme-like music video.

I need one stripper right here
from this pole

flying all the way to the pole
on that side,

jumping into that hoop,
twirling around.

alright, there
is a perfect music video.

Like, yo.

-Hello?
-Just pause for a moment.

Babe, where are you?

I'm on the scout right now.

I thought you
were going to be home soon.

No, I meant
I'm on a location scout.

Well, the crib is here.

And it's too heavy
for me to lift.

It's here today?

Yeah,
they delivered it early.

But can you come home
and bring it in?

It's going to get stolen.

Okay. alright.
Uh, I'll head over right now.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

Because, like, everything
you're saying makes

absolutely no sense, Miguel.

I'm going to keep going,
alright?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do your thing.

Alright.

So homeboy's
about this far, right?

Then how do we...

I gotta finish this, though.

How do we bring
the air vent so that

it comes down here
and he's like,

I guess you'll never see
the hair

and the person
in the same shot.
Like, in the same frame.

-Yeah.
-So wait, what?

-What's up?
-Yeah, that's good.

-What's good?
-That sounds good.

-Oh, now you're here.
-Yeah, yeah.

-Okay.
-Sorry, sorry.

-I had to take that.
-So, like, I think...

Hello,
can I help you?

- Hello.
- Oh, what are you doing here?

Oh, hi, uh,
Pasqual sent me.

He told me to get,
to build the crib.

Is he not coming?

No, he can't come.

He sent you?

Yeah, he sent me.
I'ma build the crib.

Alright, well, hurry.

Okay, well, you can
just leave the box,

um, maybe against
the wall or something.

Oh, yeah, of course,
no problem.

-Yeah.
-I got you.

And then Pasqual
to build it up.
Or we may hire--

No, it's okay, it's okay,
it's fine.

I will do it myself.

-You're going to build it?
-Yeah, I'm very handy.

-I'm very handy.
-Are you sure?

Yeah, of course.
I've been doing this as a kid.

Oh, my God. Okay.

Well, great. Well, thank you.

Just rest. Just rest.

Don't worry.
I got it under control.

Okay.

Like,
today I feel pretty good.

Yesterday I felt, like,
really big

where I was like, "Pasqual,

"I don't understand
how I'm going to have,

"like, eight more weeks
of being pregnant

or, like, whatever because..."

Maybe you'll
get some bed rest.

No, but it's good
to stay active, I feel.

Yeah.

I feel like my mom
never rested at all.

Are your feet swollen?

No, they feel okay.

I feel like I haven't gotten
any of that.

There was, like, one leg cramp.

I was like, "What is this?"

And how was that prenatal
massage that you got?

-It was amazing. Yeah.
-Yeah.

I definitely, like, want
to keep getting massages.

-I feel like it helps a lot.
-Yeah.

This is it.

-Oh. Hi, Miguel.
-Hi.

I finished your crib.

I don't know if you might want
to go check it out.

Okay. Cool.

-I wanna see.
-Cool.

Yeah. For sure.

-Do the wheels lock?
-Yeah, they do.

They have multifunctional,
you know, usage.

It goes, you know, like that,
back, go about 360.

It goes right here.

You know, it has,
go all the way around.

-Ooh.
-Do everything.

-Yeah.
-Cool.

-Nice and sturdy.
-Yeah, of course.

-Mm-hmm.
-I like it like that.

Yeah. Well, thank you so much.

Yeah. Thank you.

-Thanks for staying all day.
-Oh, of course.

Anytime. Anytime. I got you.

-Yeah. But cool.
-You know, whenever.

- Get home safe.
- Yeah, you too.

We ever been to
the same class?

I don't, I don't think so.

I'm pretty sure me and you
have chemistry.

Oh, my God. You're so funny.

Yeah.

Um, I also heard you're
working with Drake.

-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah, I'm a huge fan.

-Oh, for real?
-Yeah.

Do you think you could, like,
I don't know,

get me on set or something?

-To meet him?
-Yeah, I could get you on set.

-Yeah?
-For sure.

But the thing is,
you gotta show me
what you're working with.

Oh, like, to be, like,
a video girl?

Now, you gotta show me. Yeah.

Show you what
I'm working with?

Yeah, you gotta show
me everything. That's right.

Have the vignette here.

Alright, so...

-Subtle.
-Yeah.

Very subtle.

This is where we were.

And then?

-This is with the vignette.
-Mm-hmm.

Okay,
I think we can crank that.

Yeah, we could
definitely crank that.

-Maybe something more here?
-Yes.

-Yes.
-Maybe a little more.

A little more.

Yeah, that's looking better.

Yeah, and then here it is
compared to the other scenes,

so we can kind
of see how they play.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Yeah, I think that's working.
-Me too.

What's working about it,
Miguel?

Honestly, they both kind
of look,

um, I can't even tell
the difference.

Hmmm.

I've been trying to play nice.

I've been trying to,
like, get going with you.

I've been trying to,
like, get on board,

but it's not,
it's not fucking
working for me.

Like, this dude
is literally just copying
what you're saying,

and then you expect me
to show up on set.

Fucking Drake's
gonna be there,

and I'm gonna have a literal
idiot walking around,

like, fucking shit up for me.

And, like, I don't know.
This is our career.

This is, like,
what we're doing,
and you're just fucking, like,

just making a fucking mockery
out of it.

I don't know.
But, like, it's, I don't know.

But that was better
than the Zoom call.

He's doing better
than the Zoom call.

But, like, there's nothing
to fuck up.

He's just,
just me and you there.

Like, and Kaitlyn,
what is he gonna do?

-Yeah.
-Like, and, like, yeah,

I get that he looks like you
and shit,

but. like, I'm just,
I'm at a loss for words.

I don't fucking know.

I don't know what
the fuck we're doing,

-but, like...
-I'll talk, I'll talk to him.

Like, he's, he hurts
more than he helps, so...

Hello?

- Hi.
- Hi.

Oh, my God.
Guess what I did last night.

What?

I hooked up
with Miguel.

Oh, my God. How was it?

I know! It was
crazy, dude. He's wild.

Oh, my God!

Like a little monster.

But you wanna know what?

The fucked-up thing is

I literally think he stole
my necklace.

All you guys
gotta do is work hard,

believe in yourself.

Eat vegetables.
Remember to eat
your vegetables.

I can't believe Miguel.

He's such a fuckboy.

He better not have stolen
Jen's necklace.

If you see it, you should
get it back for her.

-I'll ask him about it.
-Okay.

Stop touching that thing.

Hey.

-Hi.
-Hey, how's it going?

Good. How are you?

I'm good. I'm good.

-Always good to see you both.
-Yeah.

-Yeah, likewise.
-How was the drive?

-Not too bad.
-It was okay.

-You know, besides
Santa Monica.
-Oh, my gosh. I know.

-Rush hour, right?
-Yeah.

These appointment times
are just crazy.

It's, like, right during
rush hour traffic.

Yeah.

I know how far
you guys drive to get here,

so I want to make it worth
your while.

-Thank you.
-Yeah, of course.

So, 36 weeks.
How are you feeling?

I feel good.
She's, like, really heavy,

so there's some
pelvic pressure, but...

Okay.

Yeah, I think other than that,
it's...

you know, we're excited
to meet her.

Yeah.

Kind of nervous about
the exit, but...

-Okay. Okay. That's normal.
-Yeah.

-It's all normal stuff.
-Yeah.

Yeah. You have great support.

-Yeah, it's true. It's true.
-With family.

Yes.

-And you, of course.
-Yeah, that's true.

Well, 36 weeks.

Your baby is the size
of a large cabbage.

-Oh, cool.
-Yeah.

-A little Cabbage Patch Kid.
-Oh, yeah!

-Yeah.
-Crazy.

Alright. So, Christine, I'm
going to ask you to lay down.

I'm going to do
some measuring.

-Yeah.
-Alright.

Super quick. Okay.

So, from top to bottom.

Alright. Right on track.

-Okay, cool.
-Yeah.

-Thank you so much for coming.
-Thank you.

And, of course, we'll see you
very soon.

-Okay.
-Alright.

-Okay.
-That's it?

Thank you. Yeah, that's it.
Everything's healthy.

-Everything's moving along.
-Okay.

And hopefully you won't hit
too much traffic going back.

Okay. Thank you so much.

Okay, of course. Bye.

Bye.

Oh, my gosh.

We drove, like, an hour
and a half to be here,

and that was literally
90 seconds.

I think we should take
some cotton balls and masks.

I'll get it. I'll get it.

What? What did you say?

Take some cotton balls
and masks.

Put it in my bag.

No, I'm not stealing.
I'm not a thief.

Look at the time
we had to get here.

Come on.

What?

You okay?

I feel kind of dizzy.

[Pasqual Really? You alright?

I just...

feel like I need to go back.

- Hi. Hello.
- Hey. Hello.

Alright, next.

Bro, she didn't even
fucking say her name yet.

We got other options.

Pasqual wants to see
the rest of the options.

Can you give us one
moment?

Miguel, if you disrespect
the fucking talent again,

I'm gonna fuck you up.

Bro, Pasqual wants...

Don't fucking say that.

We need... Like you
said, we need talent.

We gotta see
the other options.

This is not talent.
I know what Pasqual wants.

This is not what
Pasqual wants.

I'm telling
you right now.

Let her fucking
introduce herself

and then we're gonna go. Okay?

Just fucking let
the thing play out.

Alright, fine.
Go for it.

Hi, my name's Paula.
I'm from North Carolina.

I'm 23 years old, and I'm
auditioning for Rapunzel.

Okay, cool.

What kind of experience
do you have in acting?

I've been doing
like music videos.

I've done some commercial...

Can we get to the dancing?

We gotta see the action.
This is...

Miguel.

We're trying to get,
you know,

we're trying to see talent.

Is there music?

This is...
No, no music. This is NDA.

-Show something right now.
-Um, okay.

Just one second,
one second.

Yo, you keep interrupting,

we're gonna have a problem,
dude, please.

We need to see what she got.

This is getting
straight to the point,

is it not? We need to see it.

Run the show.

Yeah, I am gonna run the show.

Actually, I know exactly
what Pasqual wants.

Alright, action.

Okay.

Here's the part
where you direct, fool.

I am directing.
She got something.

I see it.

Could walk around like
in the stage if you want

a little bit.

Oh, bro, this is talent. Yeah.

Yeah.

It's gonna be a movie.

Let's audition this.

10-1. 10-2.

10-3-4.

Bro, where'd you get that,
man?

Don't worry about it.

-Did you buy it?
-Don't worry about it.

-I didn't see.
-Shall we?

-Oh.
-Let's do it.

Yeah, alright.

Alright, this shit's NDA, bro.

Alright?
Some NDA-ass shit right here.

Intro's too long.

He's getting into it.
He's getting into it.

♪ You must think
you know me so well ♪

It sounds like everything
he plays, man.

It's, like, repetitive.

Yo, we're listening to
the song, though, right now

so we can do the shot list.

Okay, but I'm saying it's
over and over and over again

the same freaking thing.
Drake, come on.

Switch it up.
What is this? Kindergarten?

Miguel. Listen to the damn
song first, bro.

You know what? Let's get into
the shot list, okay?

Let's just get--
Let's go to the shot list.

So can we? Can we get one
of the shot lists?

Yeah, let's go
to the shot list.
No, no, no, no.

Let's go to the shot list.

Let's go.
Let's see. Let's see.

Alright, so the first shot
we were talking about

was the stripper pole, right?

And doing, like,
the, doing the stitch,

and the mirror thing
and all that stuff.

So how do we want to do that?

I feel like
we should probably...

Yeah.
I say we do that on IMAX,

but forget
the whole mirror stuff.

That sounds like a lame idea.

We're talking about shots
and you're talking about IMAX.

That's what I'm saying.
I'm saying that's a lame idea,

whatever you're putting.

Get me my stripper right here.

Make her fly to the other pole

and throw her
in the little hulu bowl.

That's the shot.
That's the shot that we need.

What is so fucking funny
about this, dude?

We're trying
to fucking make a video.

It's Drake. It's important.

It's a good idea.

And you're literally,
like, swapping yourself out

for this fool right now..

-It's a good idea, right?
-He's talking about IMAX.

He's agreeing with me.

I'm sorry about this,
but this is a better idea

than yours
because I don't know...

Is this, like, funny to you
or some shit?

-Or like...
-It's not.

Or are you,
like, actually taking our
career seriously and shit?

It is. He's taking what
I'm saying seriously

because I actually have
a good idea.

Miguel, you don't know what
the fuck you're talking about.

I know what
I'm talking about.

I need this stripper
to be flying.

I need her to wear wings.

I need her to scream,
"I need everybody's
attention."

Okay, pause, pause,
pause, pause.

The first scene
is we're supposed to be

-on stage, right?
-Yeah.

And we're doing, like,
the fucking replacement.

And we're gonna, like,
extend the set.

-That's shot one, right?
-No, no, no, no.

-We're going to be on one.
-Let's not do that.

Are you gonna keep
interrupting or what, dude?

Who's gonna wanna watch
some lame-ass video?

Yo, what the fuck?

You're gonna make Drake...

Yo, yo, are you fucking
gonna seriously let this fool

hijack this shit this entire
fucking time we're here?

Because it's a good idea,
though.

-It's a great idea.
-Ooh! Alright.

Alright. Yo, yo, Pasqual.

Call me when
this motherfucker,

like, starts taking this
seriously.

And you too, for that matter,
'cause you guys are both--

Alright, alright, alright.
Look who's walking away.

-Go cry about it.
-Whatever.

-Miguel, fuck you.
-Alright, alright, alright.

That's enough. Okay.

Uh, yo.

Alright.
Let's focus on the real deal.

IMAX. It's a 3D.

He's got an opening shot.

It's okay. We don't need him.

Just Pasqual and Pasqual now.

Please leave
your message for 3-1-0...

Are you good?

Yeah, I'm good, bro.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

Okay.

Bro, I'ma need
a ride home. Is that cool?

-No, I got you. Of course.
-Yeah?

-I'll take you. Yeah.
-Alright.

I got it.

This shit means a lot, man.
This shit means a lot.

Dead ass, bro. No.
Dead ass, bro.

-Yeah?
-Like, this shit. Bro.

Like, okay.

You know, like,
you're filling in for me.

I know I gave you a lot.

I asked you to do a lot.
I'm proud of you.

But, like, if this shit goes
wrong, like, I'm fucked.

For real. Like, for real.

Bro, you got me.
Don't worry. Don't worry.

You got me.
I got you. I got you.

Baby?

No, I'm just sick of you,
like, and this project.

It's crazy.

Like, you hire
Miguel supposedly so
you can have more time

to spend with me
and this unborn child.

Right.

But then you're just spending
all your time with Miguel.

It's, like, absurd.

Well, I mean, I'm doing this

so that I can be
a full-time father.

That's the whole thing.

That's the reason
why I'm doing this.

But you haven't
even been here.

You're, like, being a father
to Miguel.

Like, where are you
in my life?

Where are you
in this baby's life?

Like, you're not here,

and when you are here,
you're on your phone.

You're not present.

You're thinking about this,
like, doppelganger project.

It's taken over, like,

not only your life,
but it's affecting my life.

And it's, like, instead
of nesting and, like,

being together
in this partnership

and getting things ready
together, you're gone.

I'm doing things by myself.

And you keep saying

that this is so you can
have more time with me,

but, like, ironically, you're
not spending any time with me.

And it's, like,
you keep telling me something,

but it never happens,
and I just feel like
I'm being gaslit.

Just like you keep telling me

you're going to fix
the laundry machine.

And it doesn't get fixed,
and it's been a week.

And I could have just hired
someone to fix it.

You want me to fix
the laundry machine?

I'll fucking fix
the laundry machine right now.

Okay, but...

You want me to go downstairs
and do it?

I'll fucking work on it, okay?
I'm sorry.

I've just been a little
tied up recently, okay?

I'm sorry.
I'm doing this for us.

That's why I'm doing this.

But it doesn't feel
like it's for us

because you're
literally not here.

It feels like you're doing it
for you because you're having

some type of midlife crisis

about aging out
of your music video career.

I'm not having
a midlife crisis, okay?

I'm just trying to make sure
that everybody's good, okay?

-I have a partnership.
-Everybody's good?

I'm here
being like, I'm not good.

Where are you?

I'm not good.

What do you need me to do?
What can I do?

Just, like, be here now.
Be part of this.

I am here.

Try--be my partner.

Okay, alright.
There goes the phone. Okay?

What do you want?

-I'm sorry about this.
-It's like...

-Okay? I'm sorry about this.
-Okay.

I'm gonna figure it out, okay?

I'll be here for you, alright?

It's just
a little rocky right now,

but it's gonna be fine.

I'm working it out, alright?

Okay.

No, I'm a cat, not a dog.

Softer.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Come on.

I'm hugging you like my mom.

Come on, you're being hard.

I'm sorry, baby.

Get the sides
so I don't have stretch marks.

Thank you, Papa.

How nice.

I'm full.

You're full?

Do you not like it?

No, I'm just full now.

-Okay.
-Do you want mine?

You wanna dance?

What do you mean?

Isn't it good for the baby?
Remember?

From the class?

That's true.

Remember,
that's what they said.

Okay.

I'm full and hungry
at the same time.

Hey, now do you need a little
more chicken?

No. I think I need a shake.

You need a shake?

Shake filet.

A Baskin-Robbins shake.

Two scoops coffee,
one scoop butter pecan.

Don't do that.

I'm sorry
about everything.

It's okay.

I'm here.

I just missed you.

-I missed you, too.
-Yeah.

Just take
the pressure off my back.

Can you hold my lower back?

Alright.

Mm..

'Cause you know what they say
in the class?

Mm-hmm.

You need to go out?

Do you have to go out?

Mm?

Oh, Papa.

You wanna go?

Papa?

Pasqual!

- Yeah?
- I think my water broke.

Really?

-Are you serious?
-Yeah, it's, like, wet.

- Oh.
- Are you okay?

Okay, let's go. Let's go.

-Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
-Let's go.

Yeah.

How do you feel
about today?

Not good, actually.

Fuck it.
Dude, I got the shits.

What do you mean
you have the shits?

Bro, I've been
shitting all fucking morning.

Do you need something?
You need, like, some Tums?

I think, like,
some Pepto

or something might help,
but it is not good.

- Not good.
- Yeah? You'll be okay?

Yo, what's up?
What's up, yo?

How y'all doing?
How y'all doing?

-Hey.
-How you doing?

Pasqual, Pasqual,

Man, should have done IMAX.
Hey where's the PA?

-Yeah.
-Thank you.

What's your name?

-Paula.
-Very heavy hair, Miss Paula.

Okay, so come over here.
So what we're gonna be doing

is we're gonna have you up
on this pole.

So the idea is that Drake
is gonna be here.

He's performing up
at our camera up there.

He's gonna be throwing
some money,

doing the music video thing.

Uh, the most important part
is you are his Rapunzel.

So we're gonna have you up as
high as we can on this pole.

And you're gonna be up there
just doing your thing.

Oh, yeah, let me let me
take your hair.

-Thank you so much.
-I got you.

Such a gentleman.

You got it?
And you can use this pole.

This pole is super safe.

So it's better
than the ladder.

It's like a fire pole.

We knotted your hair all up.

And then we'll
just find a place

so it's not weighing down
your...

Good.
Yeah, there we go.

Fuck.

Yo, alright, so he's about
to get here.

What are we gonna do
about this situation here?

Uh, we gotta make it blue
like the movie Belly.

No, bro. You cannot
make it blue because we...

Try blue. Try blue.

Miguel, you can't roto
the talent away.

-You can't roto--
-Listen to me. Listen to me.

It's not gonna work
with VFX, man.

-Like, for the millionth time.
-Check it out.

-Check it out.
-Yes.

Yes, it looks cool.

Yo, switch it back.
Switch it back

and let's, let's do something,
add something to the top.

So it gives it more shape
from up top.

Blue is so much better,
my guy.

-What's up, boys?
-Bro.

It's not gonna look good blue.

Nice to meet you guys finally.

Yo, what up, bro?
What's up, man?
Nice to see you.

-Is this the set right here?
-Yeah, it's the set.

Man, this is it. This is it.

We're here. We're, we're still
lighting the pole over here.

We're gonna make it blue
like the movie Belly.

We're not making it
blue like that movie.

We're gonna make it blue.

Um, yeah, but, like, so we're

still lighting
the set up right here.

-Uh.
-Yeah.

Can I get the boom on Drake?

-Thank you.
-Yo, what are you doing?

Hey, that's for you, my boy.
Look, this,

we need to hear your voice
because you have a good voice

and everything,
and it's cinematic.

Also, when you get close
to the stripper,

we gotta, you know,
hear the ass clap, you know?

Yeah.

You're funny, man.
Alright, we can do something.

It's gonna be a movie.

Alright. I'm excited.
