Okay, can we strip that
light just a little bit more?

Little more, little more.

Yeah, yeah, there! Let's not go nuts.

I spent way too much on Botox for that.

Okay, so, Ava, I stay seated, um,

until the fertility run, which
is right after the broken foot.

Uh, sorry, I think
Claus collector is first.

Oh, crap! I forgot. Yes, yes, okay.

So it's broken foot,

uh, debt collector who
looks like Santa Claus,

- then fertility.
- Yes.

I'm never gonna remember all this.

Just bring your notebook onstage.

Oh, oh, oh, no way.

Never happen, not in 2,499 shows, no.

Right, but, again, this is
a different kind of show.

I mean, I think having
the notebook up there

makes it feel way more raw

like coffeehouse vibes, you know?

- Coffeehouse vibes?
- Yep.

Terrific. Oh, I know.

I'll get them to attach the
bathroom key to a big chunk

of wood, you know, with
a little leather strap.

Of course the reversible
jacket is a priority for us.

She's just been busy with...

Yes, I know.

Understood. No, no,
you should not call her.

You know she loves to
shoot the messenger.

Let me figure out a way to bring it up

to her delicately, and
I'll get back to you.

And I saw those old photos
of you, so maybe also...

Okay, talk soon.

I'll look like Joan Baez.

Okay, don't bring a notebook.

I'm trying to help you. Just a reminder.

Hey, um,

I actually have to get going
to my doctor's appointment.

You're leaving now?
We barely got started.

Yeah, um, but it was the only
appointment that I could get.

It's just a routine post-op
thing, you know, no biggie.

Major complications are very rare,

but there can be pain,
uh, bleeding, um...

I read somewhere vaginal discharge...

Please, just... yeah, fine.

Thank you. Just go. It's okay.

- All right.
- But do me a favor.

Will you stay off WebMD?
It's bad for your personality.

Copy that.

I'll see you at the
run-through tomorrow.

Okay, thanks. Great. Love you, bye.

Oh, finally.

So Roy is threatening
to downgrade the jackets

to digital-only if we delay the launch.

- What?
- I know.

Nightmare scenario, but we
may be able to appease him

with an in-studio appearance.

Oh, God, Roy is so dramatic.

He's like Nancy Kerrigan
after that whole...

- Brutal attack?
- Yeah.

Okay, well, I can't keep
kicking the can down the road,

so since Ava's gone,

can we please meet tonight
and schedule something?

Marcus, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I can't. I've got promo photos.

I've got to prep for the press tomorrow.

Okay.

Why don't you just go
and enjoy your free time?

O... kay.

Very scary when she tries to be nice.

Okay, let's go back to one.

Gary!

Ah, Jesus, I'm not gonna miss
the drunks that work here.

- Hey, how's it going?
- Ugh, so good.

Everyone in L.A. has such good style.

I can't tell who's HAIM
and who's just three people.

HAIM is actually on
tour right now, so...

Ugh, I love that you know that.

Bryce Dallas Howard's
in the bathroom, though.

Oh, my God.

She's actually been
in there a long time.

Oh.

Well, I'll have whatever she had.

- I can't disclose that. Sorry.
- Oh, my God, of course. Sorry.

That's on me. That's on me.

Um, I'll just have, like,

an iced matcha latte with
elderberry syrup, please.

- Okay, that'll be $11.58.
- Oh, my God!

That is so expensive. I love it.

- Bump those 10%.
- 10%. Got it.

Hey, Deb.

- You got a second?
- For you? No.

I come as a friend.

I hear you're doing a whole new hour.

For your final show?

- Mm-hmm.
- Come on.

What is that?

- Oh, so now you're a critic.
- Deborah.

This show's gonna be a big hit.

A lot of important people are coming...

people who know something
about art, like Steve Wynn,

- Manny Azenberg...
- Steve Wynn's blind.

He put his elbow through a Picasso.

Whatever.

Look, this is your
final show on this stage.

I know you're upset. I know
that things are changing.

But don't do anything that you'll regret

just because you're mad at me.

You know, I just don't want
you to embarrass yourself.

Oh, well, thanks for looking out for me,

you condescending piece of shit.

And you've always had my back.
That way, it's easier to stab.

By my calculations, this is my theater

till Saturday, so get the hell out.

Wow. Okay.

Oh, it's, uh, my theater, Deb.

Get the fuck out.

Have a good show.

So sorry about the wait.

Your food will be out very soon.

Oh, I have been eating
buffet food for months.

It's an honor to wait for food
that has not been prepared yet.

Okay.

Oh, order for Ruby.

- Just a moment.
- Thanks.

- Hey.
- Oh, my God, hey.

What are you doing here?

Well, I'm only in town for 24 hours,

and I was craving the
mussels from this place.

Also, I know this was,
like, our favorite spot,

so it probably seems like
I came here to run into you,

but I didn't plan for that to hap...

I mean, it did happen,

but, you know, take that
up with the universe.

Dude, stop. It's great to see you.

It's great to see you, too.

Are... are you eating alone?

That's not a very you thing.

Yeah, you know, I am.

I've had a lot of practice as of late.

And besides, you know what?
It's probably for the best,

because I just ordered the entire menu,

and no one should witness
what I'm about to do.

There you go.

Hey, can you actually plate this?

I'm gonna eat at the bar.

Sure.

I want to witness it.

Okay. I warned you.

Can I get you a snack?

You didn't finish any of your dinner.

No, no. I'm fine. I'm just working.

Maybe try one of the
CBD tinctures I gave you.

A couple drops. Tiny, tiny.

Yeah, no, no, no, thanks. I'm good.

- You can go home.
- Okay.

Oh, my niece, she doesn't want
the comp ticket to your show.

She has plans with her roommate.

I don't think it's her roommate.

I think it's a girlfriend, but...

- I'm... I really need to work.
- Oh.

- Good night.
- Okay, good night.

It was rough at first.

Sometimes it's still brutal.

But, you know, at least now
we kind of get each other.

And I actually think the show
we're writing is really good.

Wow. Have you become a person
that respects their boss?

That or I have Stockholm
syndrome, which is fine.

- I love Swedish culture.
- Mm-hmm.

It usually comes with free health care.

Anyway, um, how's, uh, Kelly?

Uh, I literally hate to
tell you you were right,

but, um, we broke up a month ago.

- Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
- Mm, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

No, but, like, seriously,
I-I really didn't mean...

No, no, it's... it's fine.

You know, my schedule was insane,

and then when I was home, we
just fought all the time, so...

I totally understand
why you didn't reach out,

but if you do ever need to talk,

you know you can call me.

I promise, I know not to send you

unsolicited pornography anymore.

- Oh, you do?
- Yes.

Obviously, I still would, but
you would have to ask, so...

There's something different about you.

I... you know, I have been dressing

in a way that de-emphasizes

the size of my hands,
but other than that...

Uh-uh, you're not spiraling
or making me spiral.

Um, I don't know.

I think maybe I'm, like...

happy?

Oh, God, I sound like you

after you did mushrooms
with that witch in Idyllwild.

Oh, no! Mm-mm.

That was insane. I
was very happy, though.

So the interview...

- Yeah.
- Is tomorrow.

Tomorrow, yeah. Um, oh, my God.

It would be so incredible
to work with them.

They're so cool, but...

I don't know. I'll probably say
something stupid to mess it up.

Oh, stop. You know you're charming.

It's annoying, actually.

Ugh.

Um, what are you up to now?

Bricker's hosting this whiskey tasting

before he goes on Whole 30

for that Bob Dylan biopic he's doing.

Wow, that was the whitest
thing I've ever said.

Yeah, even I think that.

Well, I'm sure you'll have fun.

It'd be more fun if you came.

Or, um, we could skip
the tasting altogether

and go back to my place.

Fuck.

I want to.

And I'm in physical pain saying this,

but, ah, I think I got
to go back to my hotel

and do some homework.

I want to be prepared for tomorrow

instead of my usual move,
which is just wing it

and hope they don't call me on it.

I get it.

Maybe I'll be back in L.A. soon.

I hope so.

Me too.

Yeah, can you just stay
on the line until I'm sure?

Okay.

- Oh, hi.
- Hi.

- Can I help you?
- Oh, sorry. I live in 4A.

This is my stuff. I'm just
looking for my Fenty Pumas.

You know the ones with the gummy soles?

Well, that's interesting
because I live in 4A.

Oh, shit. You're Jordan, the subletter.

- Yeah.
- Sorry, I meant I own 4A.

I'm Ava. I tried knocking earlier.

- Yeah, I was in the shower.
- Whoo!

Got 'em.

Sorry.

I got to get to an interview,
and I need to look cool,

hip, young but also not
trying too hard, you know.

So I popped back here,

get the Fenty Pumas
with the gummy soles.

Yeah, I heard that before.

- Uh, you know
what? - Uh-huh.

Since you're here,

do you mind checking out the bathroom?

The skylight will not close.

Oh, my God, I didn't know
that thing opened. Cool!

But, no, I got to get to this
meeting, and I'm already late.

So nice to meet you, Jordan.

Siri, text Kayla.

Yeah, hi.

Did she just say she was
there for an interview?

- Yeah.
- Huh.

Midday martini?

Ugh, do I look completely exhausted?

- No.
- I couldn't sleep.

Marty tells me that I'm going to
embarrass myself with this new show.

What does he know?

His job is just a series
of high-cholesterol lunches.

Clearly, the show is stressing you out,

and there's no shame in
going back to what works.

No, no, no. Ava and I have
worked too hard on this.

Well, about Ava, uh, I don't know

if you should be putting
all your trust in her.

Okay, you know what? What
is it with you and her?

Are you seriously
jealous of a 25-year-old?

Jea... No.

Is it really about the material,

or is it the fact that it
was her idea and not yours?

Huh, okay.

You know, you're absolutely right.

Uh, your material is not my department.

I have plenty to do.

You have plenty to drink.
I'll let you get to it.

Uh-oh, union strong, baby!

Oof, not today, girl.

Hell, yeah, C stand.

Deborah.

There's a lot fewer
jokes in this whole thing,

a-and I'm afraid that
without pausing for laughs,

it's all gonna feel way too short.

I mean, I could be up
there for 32 minutes,

and then what?

Jesus, I picked up 'cause I
thought it was an emergency.

It is! I mean, we've
never even run the show

with a full house before.

It just... it just feels too rushed.

Well, I think it's long enough,

but we can practice the pacing
at the run-through later today.

No, I don't want to wait till 5:00.

Just come over now, and we'll do it.

I really don't think that's necessary.

Plus, I'm at the doctor.

I thought your
appointment was yesterday.

Yeah, well, they ordered
some bloodwork on...

uh, my blood, so I'm back.

I don't know. It just...

I just keep imagining myself up onstage,

and, uh, it's just silence.

You've been through way
worse than silence, Deborah.

Plus, the show is good,
like, really fucking good.

You should be proud of it.

I know I am.

Trust me.

Okay, okay. I do.

Okay. I got to go. I'll see you at 5:00.

Okay.

It just feels like she's just so raw.

Do you know what I mean? I think it's...

- Oh, there she is!
- Hi!

I'm Ava. So nice to meet you.

Sorry I'm late. The
traffic was terrible.

Oh, our assistant checked
in with your manager.

She said you had a pregnancy scare.

Ugh, Kayla.

Um, that's actually
my manager's assistant,

and I-I haven't had sex
in a while, actually.

And he used a condom,

and, uh, the next
morning he killed himself.

Wow! We heard you had
a dark sense of humor.

Ugh, not a joke. Let's do this meeting.

Finally, I've called you three times.

Sorry, I got a new phone,

but Kayla set it up with her iCloud,

so I saw a lot of pictures
I never should've seen.

Uh, anyway, I've been
in HR all afternoon.

I'm so sorry. What's going on?

Well, Deborah found out
that Ava went to L.A.

for that interview, and she's pissed.

Hold on. I don't know
what you're talking about.

- What interview?
- Wait, you're asking me?

Hey, uh, it was me. My bad.

I-I'm... That was my fault.

Marcus, hold on. Wait.
What are you talking about?

I'm so sorry... I
totally forgot to tell you

I set up that meeting behind your back.

You set up a meeting
for Ava behind my back,

when she's working for Deborah,
one of our biggest clients?

What are you doing?

I'm hip-pocketing Ava. You
told me to take initiative.

You can't hip-pocket my clients!

They're my clients! Please,
get out of here, okay?

- Leave!
- Lo siento, papi.

Stop calling me papi!

I'm really sorry.
Really so... Got to go.

Okay, Marcus, I am caught up.

Um, how do I fix this?

Well, you can start by
calling her and apologizing.

So, when people are on
a roll at a slot machine,

they'll often piss and shit themselves

instead of getting up.

So, if you're ever passing
through, watch where you sit.

- Americans are disgusting!
- Oh, we are.

Can I get you guys anything else?

Oh, um, I would love a Diet Coke,

uh, from the fountain, please.

- You got it.
- Thanks.

Okay, well, we shouldn't
keep you here all day

just because you're fun to talk to.

- So we loved your sample.
- Loved it.

Thank you. That's so nice to hear.

Our producers would absolutely kill me

for giving away leverage here, but...

in our minds, you're hired.

- Oh, my Go... Are you serious?
- Yep.

Amazing! Thank you.

We're gonna start in a couple of weeks,

and, uh, we are renting

a beachfront bungalow in Santa Monica

- to write out of.
- It's gorgeous.

- Uh, the beach?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay, I'm getting my pussy waxed.

Oh, my God, I love it!

Oh, that's brilliant. You are so fun.

We just cannot wait to
hear more of your stories.

Oh, I've got stories.

There is so much about
Vegas people don't know.

Oh, no, um, we meant about your boss.

Yeah, our show is about a bitch PM.

- Yeah, prime minister.
- Mm-hmm.

We believe that true feminism
is being able to just say

that some women are cunty monsters.

You know, we want to
showcase that on TV,

and we feel like you've
got a lot of experience

with a nightmare boss.

Oh...

that's it?

That's... that's what the show's
about, just some shitty woman?

Well, it's a well-observed
character study...

- It is, yeah.
- Of a shitty woman.

Mm-hmm. Oh, you know, actually,

we heard this story that she ditched you

in the middle of the desert one time.

Is that true? Because that
is positively biblical.

It's exactly what we're looking for.

Well, you don't really know her.

Look, Ava, we're simply commenting

on the culture that calls women crazy

by looking at a
legitimately crazy woman.

You know, the whole thing
is like an examination

- of women who are...
- Crazy.

- Yeah, there we go.
- Got it.

Um, you know what?

I...

I don't think this job is for me.

Hold on. You're going to pass
on this just to keep working

with an insult comic?

She's not an insult comic.

She's actually really good.

Doesn't she have a whole
run about Malala's face?

Well... yeah.

- We took a chance on you.
- Mm-hmm.

The network didn't want
us to meet with you.

- We pushed back!
- We did.

Oh, whatever.

Fuck them, and fuck your show,

even though I'm sure it'll
be fantastically successful

because your accents make
everything sound smarter

than it actually is.

I don't need your job.
I'd rather have my dignity.

- Ugh!
- Holy shit! Are you all right?

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm good. It's all good!

Hey.

Your Diva cup fell out of your bag.

Ah, thanks.

- Ooh.
- Well...

Hi, Jimmy.

I got two minutes
till my next interview.

I just wanted to say I
am so sorry about Ava.

I had no idea she was coming to
L.A. to interview for that job.

I had nothing to do with it.

Andy's here from the "Las Vegas Sun."

I just wanted to explain
that it was Kayla.

- She's truly an absolute idiot.
- Okay, thanks for the call.

Could you just give me
one more second? I just...

- Um, got to go.
- Okay.

Kayla, oof, bad.

So, Deborah, everybody is talking

about this new show of yours.

What can you tell me about it?

Good, good, good. Well, um...

I will be telling the
untold, most intimate stories

of my personal life that no
one has ever heard before.

So it'll, uh...

it'll be a real change of pace,

a real, um, change of, uh, tone.

Uh...

You know, you, uh... you asked
me a question a few months ago

about my ex-husband, Frank.

He had just died, and I
believe I said, "No comment."

Well, actually, you made
light of my dandruff problem

and told me to fuck off,

so we really don't have to go there.

No, I want to.

I want to talk about it.

A lot of people think that
Frank started my career.

He didn't.

But we did start our careers together...

and it was a dream.

And when you share a sense
of humor with someone,

it's like finding someone
who speaks your own, you know,

private little language.

And you make each other better.

But his...

ambition got in the way,

and he left me,

and I was so scared

because I thought I needed someone else

and that I would never find
anyone like him ever again.

But then I found stand-up.

Thank God.

You know, everyone thinks
that stand-up is so scary

because you're up there all alone,

but it is the least scary
thing in the world...

'cause no one can disappoint you.

Isn't that a little lonely, though?

It's just true.

We come into this
world completely alone,

and that's how we leave it.

Most people spend their whole lives

pretending that's not true...

but I don't pretend.

I never have.

Hey. Uh, where's Deborah?

There was supposed to be a run-through.

- She canceled it.
- What?

Yeah. Like I just said, she canceled.

Hey.

Hello.

You canceled the run-through?

Yeah.

Got to keep it fresh.

Really? 'Cause I thought
you wanted to practice.

How was your doctor's appointment?

It was fine.

I-I barely remember
it 'cause it was so...

fine.

Great.

Want to help?

Sure.

Hey.

Hey.

Do you have any extra
gloves or anything?

No.

Okay, so I need you to hold the tail.

It's a little slippery.

I wouldn't want to cut off one
of those really long fingers.

Wow, this is gross.

You'll get used to it.

Thanks.

Yeah.
