Do you have
a loose pelvic floor?

Excuse me?

The thing is,
there's a lot of money

in pharmaceutical ads,
but you have to have

the condition they treat

in order to legally
endorse them.

Uh, no, I do not have
a loose pelvic floor.

- Congratulations.
- OK. Irritable bowel syndrome.

- No.
- You never walk with a walker.

No, you're not blind.

Um, Von Willebrand's?

I don't even know what that is.

- OK, so maybe you have it.
- We can get you tested.

Because if you don't know
what it is,

- we should get you tested.
- OK.

Let's just circle that
as a maybe.

- OK.
- OK. Uh, bacne?

Little pimples all over
your back and your butt?

- No.
- Oh, herpes?

- Herpes?
- Herpes is young.

- Could be oral.
- OK.

Everybody has herpes.

Stop.

This is so depressing.

Clinically depressing?

You feel like
it's a medical issue?

'Cause we could use that.

How often are the happy days?

- Jesus.
- OK. Sorry.

Thank you.

Mm.

I hate seeing my girlina so sad.

God, this is so annoying.

I hate giving up.

We were so close.

Nobody hates it more than me.

But it's over, Jimbo.

It's a done deal.

You know what? No.

It's not over until
Jack Danby is on the air.

Damn straight.

We can sabotage.

I can find some dirt on him
to scare off the network.

Mm.

He's probably a nasty,
nasty boy.

Probably can't even come

without a fucking gun
in his mouth.

Yikes. Excuse me?

[chuckles]
I got this, my friend.

[laughs]
Whoo!

It's gonna be good!

Kayla, you left
your notebook and your...

your bag with your phone
and your inhaler.

[coughs]

[horns honking]

[upbeat music]

Ava! Ava!

Mom, I've been waiting
for 40 minutes.

I was playing slots
in the airport.

How Vegas is that?

- I love it here.
- Oh.

Should I move here
to be closer to you?

Mom, I'm moving
back to LA in two weeks,

and you've only seen
the airport.

Right.
Oh, and I brought your old

Abercrombie and Fitch
miniskirts.

Why?

Those are linked
to incredibly painful memories.

Well, I was gonna
throw them away,

but Priya says
they're back in style.

Who's Priya?

She's my roommate.

Mom, what?

Ever since the Vibamins
class action suit

didn't go my way, I have started

renting your room
for passive income.

OK.

Anyway, Priya's from Bangladesh.

She's getting
her graduate degree

in biochemistry from Brandeis.

She's a genius.

- Cool.
- Yeah, it's working out great.

She does the cooking,
I do the cleaning,

and then we go to a fun new
restaurant every Wednesday.

I always thought restaurants
were a waste of money,

but they're fun!

- Yeah, restaurants are good.
- Yeah.

Oh, before I forget,
Deborah's a size 7 shoe, right?

That's what
celebfeetfacts.com says.

Mom, please tell me
you didn't buy Deborah shoes.

No, slippers.

Everyone loves
a Christmas slipper, everybody.

And I needed to thank her
for inviting me

after I texted her
that I wanted to come.

[horn honking]
What?

Oh... oh, my God,
she's flipping us...

- Whoa.
- Ava, drive! Drive!

- I'm trying!
- She... look!

No, fuck you!

- Sorry. Sorry.
- God!

It's Christmas,
you motherfucker!

[upbeat festive music]

You've been waking up
when your alarm goes off,

right, sweetie?

Yeah, I'm doing really good.

Hard to believe, working
for that backstabbing bastard.

He is not a bastard, Daddy.

He's a great guy
and an amazing boss.

I love Jimmy.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

But you're doing
really, really good.

I heard Jack Danby's about
to be the new late night host.

- [chuckles]
- Let's celebrate that.

Well,
that's a relief, to be honest.

Why? Sexual assaulter?

Worse.

Wannabe dramatic actor.

Why is it that every comedian
wants to do some sappy drama?

If you want to be gay,
just be gay.

- Gays rock.
- Mm.

- [laughs]
- Get this.

He wanted to do
a Fatty Arbuckle biopic.

Who?

Fatty Arbuckle.

He was the biggest movie star
in the world in the 1920s,

in the silent era.

He was a comedian.

Well,
Jack's been on me for years

to try to get the rights
from the weird Arbuckle family.

Thank God I convinced him
to take this new gig.

- He let that go.
- Hmm.

Why is it
that every single client

that keeps the lights on
has to be

the biggest pain in the ass?

Oh, God, tell me about it!

ACAB...
All Clients Are Bastards.

[chuckles]

I'm surprised you wrap
your own gifts.

Nobody does French edges
like I do.

You could put somebody's
eye out with my corners.

So, um,

Kathy's definitely coming?

Yes.

How are you feeling about that?

Don't have
any feelings about it.

I'm doing it for DJ.

OK. Well, I'm nervous.

Don't be silly.
It's Christmas.

We'll be cordial,
I'll be a fabulous host,

and that'll be that.

Hey, Deborah,
the caterers are asking

if you want hard sauce
on the figgy pudding.

- Yeah.
- Great.

I will make sure
it's hard on the day.

You're making Damien work
on Christmas?

He doesn't celebrate Christmas.

He's a Jehovah's Witness.
That's why I hired him.

He doesn't do holidays, birthdays.

It's fantastic.

You need to get religion
to work for you

when you're trying
to get around labor laws.

Write that down.

[inhales sharply]

I don't think you want
that paper trail.

Fingers crossed.
[knocks]

No solicitation.

I'm a registered independent.

Oh, no, we're not solicitors.

We're looking
for a Mr. Larry Arbuckle, sir.

That's me.
What do you want?

Well, my name is
Jimmy LuSaque Jr.,

and this is Kayla Schaefer.

And we were hoping
to talk to you

about a potential film project
about your grandfather, Fatty.

I already told producers
I'm not interested.

But did those producers come
right up to your door, sir?

No! Which I appreciated.

Well, it's only because
we are so passionate.

And we really think
you should hear us out.

If you could just give us two
minutes of your time to talk.

I'm busy today.

But you can come back,
uh, Monday, 2:00 p.m.

Great. Oh, you know what?
Monday's Christmas Day.

That's the day I'm available.

Goodbye.

But no mezuzah.

That's weird.

I don't want anyone telling

- Oh!
- Careful.

- Ow.
- Oh, stop.

- Over here.
- It's burning.

Get some water on your face.

Oh, my God.

Here, I've got...
I've got a... here.

Here... here's a tissue.

Oh, God.

Oh.

- Is it better?
- No.

[mockingly]
No.

Ow.

[inhales sharply]

Listen, I...

I appreciate
you inviting me for DJ,

but she shouldn't have
forced it.

She didn't.

I was also hoping that
I could, you know, do this.

I don't think I can.

Debbie, you have so much.

- Oh, God.
- You have...

- Yeah.
- An incredible career.

You have a beautiful daughter.

You have a grandchild
on the way.

You've got six-sided crystals.

I just wish you could get over
not having Frank.

It wasn't just that he left me.

It was that you left me too.

I was really hoping
this would be nice.

But, um,

I'm just still so angry at you.

I don't want to be, but I am.

Well, that's something.

I thought you loved being angry.

You kidding?

Frown lines are
the hardest to treat.

[sighs]

I don't want it to be like this.

Mom wouldn't have wanted it
to be like this.

No, she wouldn't.

Well, maybe Christmas
wasn't the best time

to have tried this.

Maybe we could try it
some other time, just us?

Yeah.

OK.

Great.

And I'm sorry again
about the gingerbread house.

That was insane.

[laughs]

Sorry.

Ava, my God,
look at this right now!

I am in freaking "Willy Wonka."

Is... is there
a Willy Wonka town?

- Because I am in it.
- Ugh.

[chuckles]

Weren't you supposed
to, like, go visit sick kids?

Oh, shit.

- What time is it?
- I think, like, 8:00-ish.

Oh, God.
It's too late.

Visiting hours are over.

What are you gonna do,
you know what I mean?

I can't do everything.

Plus, they got clowns and dogs
and stuff to entertain 'em.

They're OK.

God, I gotta go to the bathroom.

I gotta go number three,
if you know what I mean.

[chuckles]

[laughs]

Have you seen
"Slumdog Millionaire"?

OK.
[scoffs]

I gotta be honest, Mom, this is
starting to feel really weird.

Like, you're, like,

fetishizing South Asian culture
or something.

Why would you say that?
I do not have a fetish.

That's a nasty word.

No, I... I just mean
it feels like

you're kind of appropriating it.

I mean, is it so bad that
I'm enjoying a new culture?

I'm trying new food,
I'm... I'm wearing this bindi.

You're not wearing a bindi.

Well, I...
shit, where's my bindi?

I... I had a bindi.

I... it fell off.

I mean, Ava, I mean, is it...
is it a fetish any time

a white person decides to take
an interest in a culture

that isn't their own?

Because then I'm proud
to have a fetish, OK?

I mean, it's hard being
an immigrant in this country

right now, at least according
to a little program

called "On the Contrary."

You don't watch
"On the Contrary."

Every Sunday.

And if I don't think
something's funny,

then Priya tells me
why it's funny,

and then I get it.

I mean, is that a fetish, Ava?

No. No, it's not.

It's, um, really nice, actually.

- OK.
- Thank you, Mom.

You're welcome.

And now I want you to try this,

because what I did is,

I dumped coriander
all over this fudge.

- [laughs]
- It's really delicious.

It's just like
your grandmother used to make,

except now with coriander.

- Uh...
- Right?

- Oh, my God.
- [gags]

- Oh, come on.
- No.

So Fatty said, "You know what
would make it really funny?

If you did it with a mustache."

[laughter]

And that kid was
Charlie goddamn Chaplin!

- [laughter]
- No!

Yes!

[laughter]

That is the best twist
I've ever heard.

Even better than an evil twin.

- [laughter]
- Evil twin? [laughs]

Kayla, sweetie,
would you give me

a hand clearing, please?

Absolutely, gorgeous.

Well, what do you think?

Honestly, I think you could
lose the dream sequence.

- Which one?
- All of them,

especially the sex dream
about Clara Bow.

And you know,
you might want to use one font.

Aw.

But look, I didn't know what
to expect in the beginning.

And obviously,
it could use some edits.

But I think it's actually
a really good script.

- Do you mean that?
- I do.

I mean,
you're an amazing writer.

I can't believe
it's your first script.

And the story is so compelling.

I really think you should think
about making this

with Jack Danby.

He's super-hot right now,
and attaching him

could get something
like this made.

I'll tell you what.

I don't know
this Jack character.

But after today,
I know this much, Jimmy.

I like you.

And no surprise
with a mother like that.

[laughs]

So I'll do it on one condition.

You produce it.

Oh. OK.

Sure. Yeah. Deal.

This Jack guy is really lucky
to have you as a manager.

Oh, he doesn't even know.
