♪ ♪

Thank you guys.

I don't know what happened
over at Netflix,

but big mitzvah that you
brought it over here to Hulu.

- We're so happy to be here.
- [Jeff Greene] So happy.

So, let's, uh, let's talk tachles.

- What is that?
- tachles, real talk.

Let's get to it.

Young Larry. The rewrite,
liked it, didn't love it.

Oh, so you didn't like it?

- No, no.
- No, no.

That's not what we're saying.
I liked it. They liked it.

- Mm-hmm.
- They liked it?

Or they liked it?

- All three of them.
- I'm not nonbinary.

I'm only a they when
I'm with a group of people.

Are you plural?

No, I'm gay.

And there you have it.
So, casting?

- Yeah.
- I was thinking, for the role

of Uncle Moe, Ted Danson.

- Y-- you can't get away from it.
- [Jeff] No, he's everywhere.

[Larry] I can't get away from him!

Am I right? I mean, anything he
touches turns to comedy gold.

I don't know.
He's not really the right type.

We like Ted. But what do I know?
I'm just a Jew from the Valley.

You know, it's somebody we
could consider for sure.

- I'll tell you what, though.
- [Jake] Okay.

I've got somebody for Marsha Lifshitz

who's a discovery.

Oh. Wow. Okay.

And her name is Maria Sofia Estrada,

- and she's fantastic.
- Great.

I was just wondering, uh, is she Jewish?

Oh, you can't ask that.

- Uh-- Oh, okay. Um...
- [Jake] No, it's okay in this office. You can ask that.

Why can't she ask that?

I think it's illegal.

Get the fuck out of here!
"illegal"!

Well, well, listen, if you
like her, we like her.

Just-- can we see some tape?

- See what?
- [Jake] Tape.

That's the process, it's that, you know

we'd like to give it the old...

...network stamp.

- Yeah. Tape.
- [Jeff] Well...

- It's a visual medium, this TV thing.
- Yeah.

Uh, that's great, we'll get 'em tape.

We'll get 'em tape.

Yeah, we're gonna-- we'll
get you some tape.

- [Jeff] We'll get some tape.
- [Jake] Terrific. We can't wait.

- Thank you.
- [Jake] Great meeting. Really good.

And on behalf of everybody,
welcome to Hulu.

- [Jeff] Thank you very much.
- [Larry] Okay.

Or as we call it in this office, Jew-lu.

- Because it's my office.
- Yeah, only you do that, yeah.

- [Larry] All right.
- Hey, Larry,

come for Shabbos dinner
one of these weekends.

We had Bari Weiss last
Friday night. She's fantastic.

- Hmm.
- Ow.

- Did that guy ever do stand-up?
- Not to my knowledge,

and if he did, he
couldn't have been good.

God, he really leans
into that Jew stuff,

- doesn't he?
- Boy, oh, boy.

Just like a bad comic.
Every other word is

- Jew this, Jew that.
- [Jeff] Jew this, Jew that.

- Yeah, I know.
- Oh, my God.

Terrible.

Did you slam the door
on your, uh, way out?

- No.
- I just got a text

from them upstairs
saying, "Is Larry mad?

He slammed the door when he left."

No, I'm not mad. You know,

it's hard to gauge a door
you're unfamiliar with.

In the future,
I promise I'll try and be

a little more considerate
with my door closing.

Um, what the hell we gonna
do about this tape?

I mean, she's just...
She stinks to high heaven.

What about an acting coach?
Acting class?

Cheryl teaches acting now.

- You're kidding me?
- No. Great idea,

- let's ask Cheryl.
- Let's ask Cheryl.

- She'll keep it on the q.t.
- [Larry] Yeah. Absolutely.

- [Larry] Hello!
- [Cheryl David] Ha.

What are you doing here?

Uh, I have a little, uh, thing
I need to discuss with you.

- Why didn't you text me?
- I could've.

But then, you know,
I would've missed that--

That look of disappointment
wash over your face

when you opened the door,
and that was priceless.

- Do you wanna come in?
- [Larry] Sure.

All right. Please.

[Larry] What's that?
Hot dog eating contest?

This Friday? So disgusting.

[Cheryl] That's so gross.

You know, women do these now too.

- Hmm!
- [Larry] That would be fun,

to date a woman hot dog eater.
Take her out to dinner.

"I'll have a salmon.
She'll have 32 hot dogs!" Yeah.

Um, why are you here?

Well, you know that,
uh, pilot I'm doing?

Yeah.

- There's an actress in the show.
- Okay.

Oh, God, how do I even say this?
Well, she stinks.

- But you cast her?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Well, why would you cast
her if she's not good?

I can't get into all this now.
Suffice it to say,

she has to be in the show,

and she has to be better than she is.

- Okay.
- And we need to have a good tape

- for her, to show Hulu.
- All right, easy.

No. It's not gonna be easy.

I mean, we can set up the camera and--

- And make a nice tape for Hulu.
- Great.

- And they'll be thrilled.
- Yeah.

- Yeah, well...
- You know, we'll just, like,

work on the dialogue a little
bit, and we'll do some

serious character study.
Maybe do some vocal exercises

- that can help.
- Okay, please, spare me the bullshit.

Just... Thank you, thank you.

It's not bullshit. It's actually
technique that people--

You're welcome.

[Susie Greene] Andy, Cassie,
come on, make yourself at home.

Come get a drink.

So you guys are getting the emails

from my office every month?

- I don't read 'em, no.
- [Jeff] I don't read 'em either.

You're my business manager.
I pay you to take care of that.

- Okay, fine. Just wanna know the email's going through.
- Jeff?

Can you help me in the kitchen please?

[Harry] Mm-hmm.

Listen, I need some advice from you.

I met this girl a few
nights ago at a bar.

- She was so gorgeous, like...
- Wow.

- ...way outside my coverage.
- Nice, Harry, beautiful.

She just gave me her number,
so then I gave her my number.

- Look at you!
- But then, when I'm going home,

I just texted her, "Hey,
that was really cool.

Do you wanna maybe go get
a drink Thursday night?"

And she immediately replied, "Oh, yes."

Just... ...bam, right there.

Then I got greedy and I texted back,

"How about some food to
go with those drinks?"

Oh, no.

She hasn't texted me back in two days.

- Oh, God. You pushed the dinner.
- So, I-- I blew it, right?

I scared the rabbit away and ran at it.

The desperation came through.

- [Harry] It came through.
- You couldn't contain it.

I don't know what to do.
What can--

- Oh, boy. Harry.
- Do you have any ideas?

Well, you gotta send
her something funny.

- It's got to be funny.
- Something funny, okay.

Yeah, it's got to be a funny text.

- I think I might have something.
- What?

Say, "Actually..."

"I can't have dinner on Thursday."

Okay.

"Because I'm in a hot dog
eating contest the next day,

and I don't wanna ruin my appetite."

- It's funny.
- I'm gonna fucking send it.

You're saying "Hey, I fucked up." Okay?

- I fucked up 'cause of the--
- Yeah.

- Wait, wait, wait.
- "I fucked up, but here's--

Hey, but look, I'm a funny guy.

"I fucked up, but I'm a funny guy."

Let's see what happens.
God damn, yes.

Yeah, you like it?

Hey, nice to see you.

- Mwah.
- Thanks for having me.

- How's the mattress world?
- Still the mattress champ.

Just opened a new outlet in Victorville.

That's fantastic.

I'm putting super homies in
mattresses. I'm killing it.

- Wow.
- Honestly.

But the thing I'm doing now,

which is a little bit more
creative, is a hotel.

- What hotel?
- The Funkhouse.

It's Beverly Hills adjacent
so it's kind of a boutique.

It's an interesting space.

I wanna hear everything.
I got stuff in the oven.

- Go.
- Go get yourself a drink,

- and we'll talk later.
- Okay, sounds reasonable.

Thanks again for having me.
You look terrific.

I'm putting half of your
portfolio into cryptocurrency.

- Hey, guys.
- [Larry] Hey.

I'm kidding, it's all nerds and Nazis.

- Hey. Hi.
- Hey, hey! My man, how are you?

What's this about a hotel you're...?

- Yeah.
- You bought a hotel?

I'm doing the whole thing.
It's exciting, huh?

- That's amazing,
- It is. It's amazing.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you, thank you.

Well, you know, we'll see how
it goes, but I feel very good.

What-- what are you doing
about the minibar?

What do you mean, what am I gonna do

about the minibar?
I don't know, it's a minibar.

They're kind of fascinating
to me, the minibars.

You know, you go into the room,
you're kind of excited about,

"Oh, what do they have?"
Then you see some items,

"I don't know why they got that one.

What were they thinking about
with this thing?" You know.

- Can I ask you something?
- Sure?

- Suppose I, Larry David...
- Yeah.

...went shopping for your minibar

and picked out your minibar.

You know, this is a business,
it's not a hobby.

I'm really gonna open a hotel.

- No, I completely understand.
- I need people to--

Why is somebody better
at that than I am?

I know potato chips.
I know M&M's.

They told me not to open up a
mattress shop in Temecula.

They said it's all credit
card junkies and Supercross.

I did it, and guess what?
I'm slaughtering it.

If you think you can do it,
I think you can do it.

I'll go shopping, and then
I'll show you what I got.

Yeah. The answer for you is yes.

- [Larry] Wow.
- I wanna hear it.

- Hi.
- [Jeff] Hi.

- Come on in.
- Thank you.

I can't wait to see
what you come up with.

I gotta get to work.

[Freddy Funkhouser] And don't overthink it.

- [Cheryl] Larry?
- [Larry] Oh, hey.

Are you mad at me?

No. Why would I be mad at you?

I don't know, because
I'm doing you a favor

- and you slammed the door on me.
- Really?

You don't hear that as a
slamming of the door?

I didn't hear a door slam,
I'm sorry.

Okay, well, then you must be door deaf.

Hmm. It's interesting
that you would say that,

because I've always thought
my hearing was a cut above

- the average person.
- Is that right?

Especially disparaging
remarks directed at me.

- Uh-huh.
- "You fucking asshole."

I can hear that, like,
from 50 yards away.

"What a fucking--
I hate that fucking guy."

- You know, stuff like that.
- You can hear that?

- Yeah.
- Hey, everybody, supper's ready.

Let's go, let's eat.

- [Larry] Come on, cousin!
- All right, I'm up, I'm up.

Sit wherever you want.
Jeff, I want you there.

- All right.
- [Susie] Freddy, perfect.

- Thank you.
- Want me to-- Oh.

- Cass, you sit there.
- [Cassie] Here?

All right. Guess I'll sit here.

Look at this!
Look at your leopard...

So listen, I'm so happy
to have you all here.

- I wanna do a toast.
- Oh.

[Susie] I just wanna say
thank you all for coming.

- [Freddy] Thanks for having us!
- [Susie] And I wanna make a toast

- to friendship.
- [Cheryl] Susie!

- [Freddy] That's beautiful.
- [Cassie] Cheers!

- [Susie] Yes, to friendship.
- [Freddy] To friendship,

and to be with everyone.
Eyes, please!

- Cassie, Harry!
- Cheers.

Cheers.

Larry? You can't look me
in the eye and toast?

- Look you in the eye?
- [Susie] Yeah.

Towards what end?

Because that's what people do.

- [Larry] Get out of here.
- They look each other in the eye.

What is this? A seance?

We're raising people from the dead?

Come on, give me a break.

No, we're connecting and
having some intimacy.

I-- I don't need to connect,
okay? I'm connected.

- What are you afraid of?
- What does it do?

- You're saying, "Hello. I see you."
- You're saying "I see you."

[Susie] I acknowledge you.

- I connect with you. Right? To--
- [Cheryl] I connect with you.

Hello! I see you!

I acknowledge you!

I connect with you.

[Susie] Okay, very funny.
You made your point.

- I think you're rude.
- You see how stupid it is?

- [Susie] Yeah. I think you're rude.
- It is dumb, come on.

Ooh, so I'm in a bookstore
the other day,

- okay?
- [Cheryl] Yeah.

And I'm looking for a book about
Eleanor Roosevelt, okay?

And I'm looking, and
I'm looking under R.

Nothing. I go to the Es.

A book on Eleanor Roosevelt.
It was crazy, it was nuts.

Can you imagine?

You know what could have happened?

I'm not saying it's definite,

but maybe somebody new was working,

maybe somebody younger, and
they just didn't know?

You know, that's true.
I saw people there.

Some in their 20s.

Thirties too, couple.

Okay, maybe it's forgivable.

The important thing is you found it.

[Andy] I did.

And now you're reading
it, and that's great.

[Andy] They don't know the
Dewey Decimal System anymore.

They're not going to libraries.
They're going on their computer.

I decided to go to a
bookstore, and not go online.

- [Cassie] Have you seen this?
- We could get reclaimed wood.

That'll work.
From, like, a gym.

If you're doing a big room,
sometimes they don't have

enough of the same stuff that matches.

[Andy] if you go to the
right supplier, you do.

But I'll tell you what
I was thinking too.

There's a thing, there's resin.
Okay? It's two polymers.

[Cassie] Is it resin or rah-sin?

[Andy] No, it's resin, R-E-S-I-N.

[Cassie] Okay.
What does it look like?

[Andy] I guess, it's
whatever you want it to.

Cheryl, have you had to put
any new wood or flooring

in your house at all?

No.

[Cassie] That's another
thing we haven't decided.

Dark wood? Light wood?

M-- maybe you could stain the mahogany.

- But that would be silly.
- So, you know what, Larry,

will you meet me in the kitchen
for a second? I need your help

- with something.
- Sure. Of course.

[Cassie] I like the tiles
that look like wood.

[Andy] if you get heavy, heavy wood...

It's a fucking nightmare.

- Yeah, it's a disaster.
- It's a disaster.

It's a complete disas--
My dinner party, done.

You know why? Yeah.
Because Andy and Cassie

are in the middle.

- That's what it is.
- And they can't middle.

You have to be able to
carry the conversation.

- Yes.
- You have to be interesting.

You're the point guard there.
You're distributing the ball.

- They can't fucking middle.
- They can't middle.

- Look at-- look at that.
- [Cassie] ...whole family loves fishing now.

Andy loves it, I love it,
Skylar loves it.

I can't believe it.

- Do you like fishing, Cheryl?
- [Cheryl] No.

- Oh, my G-- Fishing?
- Yeah.

What, can we save this?

- I'll take care of it.
- [Susie] Thank you, Larry.

- It's the bucket of bait, okay, which is called chum.
- Right.

They call it chum,
I don't know why.

And she takes it, and she
puts it onto the hook.

- She knew what she was doing. She was born to it.
- Okay, okay.

- She's great.
- All right. Okay. I'm sorry.

This dinner's not going very well.

- Oh!
- [Larry] And the reason it's not going well

is because the wrong
people are in the middle.

What?

Yeah. You can't handle the middle.

- You're not a middler.
- Andy, not everybody

has the personality for the middle.

It's very presumptuous of you
to even be sitting here.

Freddy happens to be a great
middle, I know that.

I'd like Freddy and Cassie to switch,

and I'd like Andy and Larry to switch.

It's your house. I have
told these stories before

and got laughs!

- [Susie] Separated. Thank you, Cheryl.
- [Cheryl] You're welcome.

Anyway, let me just finish the story.

- No!
- No more boat.

- [Susie] We're done.
- I'll tell you later. Okay. I'll finish.

- All right.
- Okay.

This is how you middle. Okay?

Guess who I ran into today.

- Who?
- Callie Lang!

- [Jeff] No way!
- Get outta here!

Callie Lang?

I thought she was dead!

- Stage four, man!
- [Larry] No, no.

She survived her cancer.

- She's o-- okay.
- [Susie] Wow.

She's living in Bend, Oregon.

- Really?
- Bend, Oregon?

I got to tell you, some
of the best advice

I ever got in my life
was from Callie Lang.

When I was starting the business,

you may forget this, but I was
deciding, "Do I go chairs

or do I go mattresses?"

And she said, "Freddy, not
everybody wants to sit..."

- "...But everybody's got to sleep."
- [Freddy] That's right!

- Ha!
- And I never looked back!

I think I listened to it
because she was stage four.

It had, like, an impact to it.

I know. I had the same sort
of experience with her

because she was stage four,
we were having a long talk,

and she gave me some very good advice

and she said, "Don't
ever sign a prenup."

- Whoa!
- [Cheryl] And I didn't!

And it was very good advice.

That worked out very
well for you, Cheryl.

[Cheryl] It did.
It was very good advice.

- She was smart about that.
- [Harry] She was a sage.

She gave me some advice when
she was stage four, and she--

She's the one who told you
not to sign a prenup?

Yes, she had some sort of perspective

- that other people don't have.
- [Freddy] It's good advice.

[Susie] You know what she did
for us, Jeff, do you remember?

We were going through
that really rough patch

- and we were gonna split.
- [Jeff] Mm.

And she said, "Work it out, you guys

- are meant for each other."
- Aww.

"You're gonna have a long,
wonderful life and a marriage.

Cheers to that.
This is a great conversation.

- Cheers to that.
- [Andy] Bravo. Bravo.

- [Harry] To you and to you guys.
- [Andy] I'm happy for you.

Let me ask you this question,
what about stage three advice?

- What do you do?
- And death is not looming?

- What percentage?
- Twenty percent.

[Larry] Twenty percent, you
listen twenty percent.

- What about you?
- Sixty-forty.

Sixty-forty. Freddy?

That's a true coin flip for me.
I could go either way with that.

[Larry] Harry?

Well, I listen, but grain of salt.

- [Larry] Grain of salt.
- You couldn't pay me

to listen to advice from a stage three.

- Stage four only!
- [Susie] Wow!

Stage three doesn't get his ear!
I don't believe that.

Stage four!

You're good.

You're very good.

What is this?

Remember that woman that
I was texting with?

You said I should tell her

that I'm doing a hot dog eating contest?

Yeah. What-- what happened?

- She believed me.
- Oh, my God. You're kidding?

- No, I'm not.
- How could she believe that?

It's a joke. It's a joke.

But you know what happened was,

you gave me a lie so fucking crazy

that she's like, "Why
would he lie about this?

This has to be true."

- Huh!
- Who's the guy that said, uh,

the bigger the lie, the
more they believe it?

- Oh, Goebbels.
- Goebbels.

Yeah, you gave me a Goebbels-level lie.

- Seriously?
- Yeah. Well, I don't-- Yeah!

Are you saying I achieved
Goebbels lying status?

- Yeah, yeah, you're--
- Because Goebbels is the GOAT.

And you know what happens when
you use a lie from the GOAT?

Not only did she believe
it, but she's impressed.

She's, like, obsessed with it now.

She texts me all day, "When
did you get into hot dogs?

- Do you like pork or beef or--"
- Wow.

I'm so paranoid she's gonna
come over to my place.

I had to go to Eagle Rock
to a little trophy store

and have a trophy made up for
a hot dog eating contest

that I won in 1998 that I was never in.

What are you gonna do about
the hot dog eating contest?

- You're gonna be in the contest?
- Fuck no! I'm gonna--

I'm gonna keep this going
as long as I can.

Hopefully, we can hook up,

and then I can have my doctor
text me or call me and say,

"Oh, you know what,
because of your health,

I'm gonna have to recommend
that you drop out,"

I got to have-- Fuck!
I got to make up a doctor now!

- By the way.
- What?

I wouldn't be so fast to
drop the hot dog eating.

Clearly, this is...

This is the best thing
you've got going for you.

Well, um, here's your taxes.
Enjoy your refund, Goebbels.

Sorry, Harry.
I did the best I could.

Yeah, well, you did too good!

[Larry] Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey.

My man.

Hey, what's happening
in Mary Ferguson town?

I'm having a hard time finding
a new Mary Ferguson.

I'm surprised you found two.

Let me show you my ad
for the brand-new one.

Look at this shit.

"Do you love adventure?

Do you wanna travel to Asia for free?

Is your name Mary Ferguson?

If the answer to all three
of these questions is yes,

then contact Leon Black."

Perfect. I'm thinking about adding,

"I ain't about that bullshit."

Yeah, put it in,

because that will be a big sell.

That'll sell 'em for sure!

I'm posting this shit everywhere.

I'm putting this shit on, like, you know
how a motherfucker lose their dog?

I'm putting this shit on
fucking telephone poles

- and trees and shit.
- Who's looking at trees?

Nobody's walking down the
street looking at trees.

The nicest people in the world

are people who will return
a fucking dog to you.

Who's not gonna return a dog?
What kind of asshole?

I kept a dog for six years
one time, I found.

What? Did it have a collar?
Was there a number to call?

[Leon] Fuck yeah, it
had all the goodies.

So, why didn't you call?

Because I fucking liked the dog.
I fucking liked the dog.

You know how many times
I walked by

the sign on the fucking
tree that said "lost dog,"

and it was this motherfucker right here?

- That's cruel!
- I loved that motherfucking dog.

By the way, Larry,
I've got an idea.

It might be perfect for
your fucking minibar.

Really?

People go to hotels to
fuck, you understand?

Yeah, I understand,

but that's not necessarily
true, but go ahead.

So, I take all the
elements of an ED pill

and I infuse it into a beverage.

I call it tap water.

- Tap water.
- Based on tapping that ass.

I understand what it's based on, yeah.

That's what people go to hotels to do.

It's like an energy drink for your dick.

I really think you're
onto something there.

Good idea. Right?

- One of your best.
- Hey, man, you're missing out.

People love to stay hydrated and fuck.

- There he is.
- Oh, geez.

- [Andy] How are ya?
- What is this?

We were just taking a
walk and strolling.

- It's a beautiful day.
- Yup.

I thought we'd stop by, say hello.

And if you wanna join us, come.

- Meh.
- [Cassie] Come on!

I don't really like a purposeless walk,

but thank you.

What does that mean,
"A purposeless walk"?

The walk is the purpose.

The walk has to be the
secondary activity.

- It can't be a primary activity.
- Mm.

For example, you walk on a golf course,

it's a secondary activity.

The primary activity is the golf.

- Okay.
- All right.

She has something to ask you.

Uh we're having a dinner
party in two nights,

and we would really like it
if you would middle, please.

Please?

When is it?

Thursday night.

Ah, I...

- [Andy] Why? Come on.
- I can't.

- Come on. Why not?
- Why?

- Because I'm...
- What?

I'm in a hot dog eating
contest the next day.

- Oh, Larry, shut up.
- What?

- [Larry] True.
- No, you're not.

Seriously, I'm in a hot dog
eating contest the next day

and I can't eat that night.

- Yeah.
- [Andy] Not at all?

What if you just come and
you just don't eat?

Ah, nah, you can't sit
at a table and not eat.

- You feel crazy. Yeah.
- Hmm.

- [Larry] Yeah.
- That's...

Anyway, I got to go pick somebody up,

so I got to get going.

[Andy] Okay.

- [Cheryl] Hi, guys.
- Hi.

- [Cheryl] Come in. Come in.
- Maria Sofia, this is Cheryl.

- Hi, Maria Sofia.
- [Maria Sofia] Hi.

Really nice to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.

Nice to meet you too!

This house, beautiful.

- Thank you.
- You got your bag in the divorce.

Okay.

Um, this is my little makeshift studio.

- You can put your stuff down.
- Thank you.

I'll be there in one second.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

[Larry] Yes!

[Cheryl] Okay, Maria Sofia.

- I'm gonna record this.
- Okay.

And pretend like this is not even here.

- Okay. Okay.
- Okay?

Marsha, come out here.
I wanna talk to you.

Marsha steps out into the balcony,

weaving through the billowing laundry.

Um, you-- That--
You don't need to read that.

That is just, uh, action line.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry. That was weird.

- Let's start from the beginning.
- Okay.

Marsha, come out here,
I wanna talk to you.

- I'm right here!
- [Cheryl] Stop screaming!

Screaming.
I wasn't screaming!

Okay. Also, if it's in parentheses,

you shouldn't say it either.

- Fine. I got it. I got it.
- [Cheryl] Okay.

I wanted to talk to you
about that David boy.

Larry.

[Cheryl] Yeah.
That's his name, Larry David.

Well, what about him?

I feel like you're being
seductive right now.

You're talking to your mother.

Are we not close?

In real life, do you ever talk
to your mother like that?

No, I don't seduce my mom.
What is wrong with you? God!

I'm talking to her about
my boyfriend, aren't I?

Uh, I don't really care for him.
I think he's mentally disturbed.

He is not mentally disturbed.

And the worm.

Uh, I--
I saw that choice that you made,

and maybe it's time to
make a new choice.

- Like, what kind of dance?
- No, not a--

No I don't find--
You want a little bit of salsa?

Let's just keep going.
Let's just keep...

You want bald children with
no brains, go right ahead.

I don't have to listen to you.
If I wanna see Larry,

oh, I will see...

Larry.

Let's just take five.

You'd be surprised what motherfuckers
like in their-- in their minibar.

- [Larry] Black licorice?
- Perfect.

Yeah, I think so.
Okay. We got our first item.

- [Jeff] Olives!
- Black or green or both?

Maybe both.

[Leon] Fucking mushroom jerky.
They jerked a fucking mushroom.

Oh, figs!

I can't even believe how good this is.

This is...
Already, we're packed.

[Jeff] Oh, fudge!

Wasabi-flavored peas.

Huh? This is the best
minibar of all time.

Yeah.

Hello?

Hey. Yeah, I left my jacket
at your ex-wife's house.

Uh, can you call her and just
see if she can look for it?

Um... All right. Hold on.

[Maria Sofia] Okay. Thank you.

- Hey.
- [Larry] Hey, it's me.

So, um, Maria Sofia called me.

She thinks she left her
jacket at your house.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not here.

I haven't seen any jacket.

- [Larry] Okay. All right. Thanks.
- Okay.

Okay, bye.

- [Larry] It's not there.
- No, it's there.

She liked the flowers and
shit, so I don't know,

maybe she, you know, she doesn't
wanna actually look for it.

What are you suggesting, that
she's keeping your jacket?

Well, she said she liked it.

Now she's saying that she can't find it.

- So what am I supposed to think?
- Oh, my God.

Are you out of your mind?

You know what? It's my jacket,
and I'm gonna find it.

All right. Okay.

You know,
I hate to sound immodest,

but I don't think you're gonna
find a better minibar display,

not just in the country, in the world.

This is just amazing stuff here.

Do we love the sound of that,
Wasabi peas?

People love Wasabi peas.

They're gonna slide out that drawer.

- They're gonna freak out.
- Hmm.

"They got peas,
Wasabi peas!"

What else do we got here?
Oh, my God. What is this?

It's a parmesan crisp.

This is one of the
world's great crackers.

- There's parmesan in this!
- [Freddy] Mm-hmm.

- Parmesan! You like Parmesan?
- Mm...

Freddy I've seen you at
an Italian restaurant!

- I like parmesan.
- [Larry] Going like this with the parmesan cheese!

Come on. This, you're not
gonna find anywhere.

- That's true, not in a minibar.
- Mm-hmm, no.

[Larry] You're not gonna find
a parmesan crisp there.

No, you're not gonna
find that in a minibar.

Yeah, okay. Come on.

Figs? You ever seen that at a minibar?

No. Of course not. Why?
Nobody's thought of it!

I have! I have!

Do you like figs? You like 'em?

I'm not a-- I wouldn't
say I'm a fig guy.

- You like figs?
- Mm, I'm not a big fig fan.

I'm giving you gold here.

Figs! All right.
The coup de grâce.

Peppermint Pattie.

- Classic.
- It's classic.

It's a classic.
You like a Peppermint Pattie?

I can't say I'm a big fan.

I don't really like
Peppermint Patties, actually.

What do you eat?
What is your story?

You don't seem to like anything.

It doesn't matter what I like,

it matters what our customers like.

All right. So here's the
headline here. Okay?

We're liking this, but not loving it.

What do you mean? Who?

Well, we had a focus group in La Cañada,

and we let them enjoy the experience.

And we got numbers on all of this stuff,

- which could be helpful.
- Oh, you had a focus group, huh?

So if I talk to you about men
over 25 on, say, the figs.

Uh, about 15 percent.

Only about 15 percent of
the men are liking it.

Now, if you deal with educated men,

men that have four years of college?

Um, it's a little higher, at 20 percent.

But if you go to the uneducated men,

you know, high school or less?

Then it's lower
about eight percent.

Right. What we wanna try
to do is we want everyone

- at least in the 70s, 80s.
- Mm-hmm, exactly.

So the bottom line here is we
need a four-quadrant minibar.

So would you possibly be open to working

and collaborating with a co-curator?

Forget it, Freddy.
It's not gonna happen.

There's no co-curator.
I'm the curator.

This is my minibar.
These are my ideas.

And if you don't like it, I go.

I wish you could've been there
in La Cañada. 'Cause again...

- Okay.
- ...liking, just not loving the ideas.

[Larry] I think we're done.

Did you wanna take home the numbers?

[Larry] No, I really don't.
I'm really not interested.

- I'm sorry you feel that way.
- [Larry] Big mistake.

And you know what else?

I don't want you using any of my ideas.

I'll fucking sue you.

If you wanna suit up over the
minibar ideas, you can suit up.

You're just gonna be
throwing your money away.

What, are you gonna sue me
for the Peppermint Pattie?

- If you don't have the vision...
- [Freddy] I don't.

...to know how amazing a Wasabi pea

would be in a minibar,

I don't really want
anything to do with you.

Thank you for your time.

- Okay. All right.
- That's right. Thank you.

All right, let's go with the other guy.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- [Cheryl] Hi.
- [Larry] Hey.

- Hi.
- Hi, Maria Sofia. Come on in.

- How are you?
- I'm good.

- How are you?
- Good.

So, listen, I've been
doing a lot of studying,

reading up on the Jews.
They use their hands a lot.

So I think I would do,
you know, some, like...

Ah! Something like this.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

Okay. Why don't you go ahead

and get comfortable in the studio,

and I will be there in just a minute.

Good idea.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Um, she is the worst actress
I have ever seen in my life.

An eating disorder?

I mean, she reads her character's name

before she reads the line.
She reads the stage directions.

Larry and Marsha sit
at the table eating!

She also does weird things
with her body physically.

I mean, she's gyrating.

She's practicing her lines
and she's gyrating.

Look at her. Look.

Eat them latkes!

She's so awful.

Just get the best tape you
can and send it to casting.

- Okay? Please?
- Okay. Okay.

She was wearing the yellow dress!

Larry, she's gonna kill
your show like a cancer.

Like a cancer?

[Maria Sofia] Oy vey, motherfucker!

[Larry] You got it?

- Hey!
- Hey.

- Hey, what do you say?
- There he is.

- This is my friend, Jeff.

- [Larry] This is Marcos.
- Hello, Marcos.

[Larry] He is the world's greatest

So they say.

- Great. Thanks for coming.

Eh, poor guy.
He's got, uh, cancer.

- You know how bad it is?

Stage four.

Man.

Anyway, if you need any advice
about anything at all,

he's possessed with stage four wisdom.

- Stage four.
- [Larry] Yeah. He knows so much.

You mind if I ask him some questions?

Yeah, you should.

[Marcos] Hey, uh, Jeff?

- Yeah.
- I'm Marcos.

Um, I was wondering if I
can ask you a question.

- Now is the time.
- Yeah.

This place is doing okay, it's just,

I was wondering if you
had any advice on,

you know, taking it to the next level.

- Do you serve breakfast?
- We don't, no.

That would be an addition you need.

People love breakfast burritos.

You never have anyone turn
down a breakfast burrito.

Oh, my God. So true.

You want my own personal favorite?

- Please?
- Waffle and a breakfast burrito.

You wrap the waffle?

You wrap the waffle amongst itself.

And, uh, rice pudding.

And also, you're gonna have
to do a lot of social media.

- I'm not good at it, you know.
- [Jeff] You're not good at it.

If you don't like it, maybe you have

a son or a daughter who
enjoys social media.

I do have a daughter, but
she doesn't have time

for that stuff.
She's gonna be an actress.

You know, I've been in show
business a long time.

And I'm gonna tell you something
that I tell every parent.

Don't do it.

Don't allow your child to be an actress.

- Really?
- I've met many

- a good young actress...
- [Marcos] Yeah.

...whose life has been
ruined by the business.

That's what I feel.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

Man, I thought she was gonna
be a star, but, uh...

I guess I was wrong.

What are you gonna do?

Now, how about that taco?

I'll get you guys a taco.

- Thank you.
- [Marcos] Okay. Yeah.

[Jeff] Yeah!

[Marcos] What can I get you guys?

Okay. So, what's really
important about this

is the emotion behind it.

Think about something that makes you mad

while you're reading this
scene, okay? Can you do that?

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah, you've got a good attitude.

All right.
Let's do it from there, then.

Oh, he's got mailman
written all over him.

You want bald children with
no brains, go right ahead.

I don't have to listen to you!
If I wanna see Larry,

I am gonna see Larry.

You are a horrible mother.
I never wanna see you again.

Yeah.

And I know that you stole my jacket!

- What are you talking about?
- Oh, back up. Don't touch me.

- But wh-- I don't understand.
- You wanna touch me all of a sudden?

This is not in the-- What are
you saying? The jacket?

I don't know what you're talking about!

Cheryl, what are you doing?

Let her go.

- Ted!
- Get off me, Uncle Moe.

[Cheryl] Oh, my God!

What is wrong with you?

Hang on, Cheryl!

- Cheryl. I'm coming.
- [Cheryl] Oh, my God!

- I want my jacket back!
- [Ted] Let her go!

- Get off me!
I want my jacket back!

Bring it on!
I can take both of you!

[Cassie] Okay. Dinner is served.

Here you

We have no place cards.

- So wherever you'd like.

- [Andy] Just take a seat.

Susie, would you mind sitting
in the middle just because--

No, I'd rather sit here.
I don't wanna middle.

No, no, Andy.

Harry, if you'd like to...

Oh, I really don't feel like middling.

I probably can't see over those.

Oh, you know, where's Larry?
He's the middle.

- Larry should be the middle.
- I know, he's a great middle.

- He's always been good.
- He's supposed to be here.

He has a hot dog eating
contest tomorrow morning.

Wait! Is it the same

It's-- it's the-- yeah,

Please. Oh, my God.
I would love to see it.

- Um...
- [Cheryl] For sure.

Yeah. Oh. All right. Yeah.

- Oh, my God. This is gonna be so fun!
- [Susie] We'll be there.

Harry, why don't you grab
a seat in the middle

and you can tell us all
how it came about?

But you better not eat anything.

[Andy] Greg, come on, come on.
Over here. Please?

So, how are we doing so far?
I mean, J to J.

We're delighted.

- Delighted, happy, all of it.

And I hope we're in agreement
about Maria Sofia,

And we didn't like it.

- Ah.
- It happens.

We loved it.

- [Jake] I mean...
- Obsessed.

[Jake] We flipped for it.
She's incredible!

- The passion!
- Natural talent.

- Ugh, is she good.
- Future icon.

Well, I'm glad you liked it, but, uh--

I got to see it again.
I'm sorry.

It's-- I-- -Jake: No, no,
let me just show you this.

We've been watching it all
morning and just dying from it.

- No, but it doesn't--
- [Jake] Let's just watch it.

- I never wanna see you again.
- [Cheryl] Yeah.

- And I know...
- I mean...

...that you stole my jacket!

[Jake] That is acting.

I swear, I actually believed
she got her jacket stolen.

She did, yeah.

- Exactly.
- Yeah, yeah.

No, she really did.

And look at the physical comedy.

[Larry] No, that's not comedy.

She actually is in a fight.
It's not a comedy.

You can't teach that.

Here comes Ted. Here comes Ted.
There he is.

And there he goes.
What a takedown.

Maria steals it. She steals
the whole damn thing.

- I've never seen Ted--
- She's not stealing anything.

He doesn't know what to do,
'cause his girlfriend's

getting pummeled by this
maniac short order cook!

All right. Can you turn it off?

That's the show.

Alas, she's not gonna be
able to do the show.

She's quitting acting,

her father's not letting
her do it anymore.

It's sad. It's a shame.

- Okay, here's the thing.
- [Larry] Yeah.

I called her to tell her
that I was floored

- by this audition.
- Called who?

[Jake] Maria.
Her dad gets on the phone.

- A mensch, by the way.
- What?

And she's back. She's in.

You called her father?

It's all good.

What's the matter?

Is he mad?
