- Christie Brinkley swears
by this thing.
She put her whole skin care
routine on Instagram.
Oh, and I practiced
my audition song
for the first time last night,
and I have to tell you,
I think it sounded better than
the original cast recording.
- I'm sure you're going to get
a very good part
in the school musical, sir.
- Good part?
What the fuck
are you talking about?
I'm gonna get the best part,
Owen.
I'm gonna get the lead.
These kids
don't stand a chance.
Okay, keep going.
I need a good contour.
- My apologies, sir.
That's what I meant.
And what musical
are you all putting on?
- We're doing "Oliver!"
I mean, how perfect is that?
- All set, sir.
- Ugh!
Thanks for nothing,
Christie Brinkley.
- I'm so sorry.
I really thought
I plugged him in last night.
- Well, you didn't,
and now he's dead.
They're going to notice.
- Notice what?
He's a fucking sock puppet.
- A scream here,
a drool there.
It's the little things.
- It's fine.
It's fine.
We just have to get
through breakfast.
"Well, hello, everyone!"
- You're being too obvious.
-
Relax.
- Morning, Grandpa.
- Hi, baby.
Someone sounds chipper.
- See?
- Could you be any louder?
- Yes.
- Philip, you have
to eat something.
We have audiences later today.
- Speaking of audiences, Mummy,
I was hoping we could have
a little audience of our own.
- No.
- But Mummy, it would be good--
- Move him.
- So, George, I heard
you're auditioning
for "Oliver!" today.
- Ugh.
- Why are there so many people
in our car?
And why does it smell?
- It's not a car, Harry.
It's a bus.
And it's not ours.
This is public transportation.
- Right.
And we're going to?
-
Work.
We're going to work, Harry,
because
HGTV cancelled our show
and we need money,
so now, I'm going to my class,
and you're--
- Yes, yes.
Going to my new job.
And you can't get work acting,
so now you're teaching it,
which kind of makes sense
and kind of doesn't.
Well, this is me.
Good luck.
- You too.
- Hi, Harry.
I'm Robert.
I'm a screenwriter.
And I'm also the shift manager
here,
and I'll be training you today.
- I'm very excited!
- Okay, let's just get into it.
What's your favorite drink?
We'll make that first.
- I really love tea.
I've always wanted to know
how to make it.
Is that too advanced?
- Tea is probably
our most basic drink,
other than water.
- I'd love to know
how to make that one too.
- You'd love to know
how to make water?
- Yes.
Why?
Is that like a week two thing?
- I don't even know why
I'm auditioning with you guys.
I mean, I'm obviously a lock
for Oliver.
I doubt anyone else here
is even a tenor.
- I--I mean, we're all tenors.
We're seven.
- Hello, children!
Welcome to auditions.
I'm very excited
to be directing
this year's musical.
Now, let's get started.
First up, we have
Sebastian.
- Uh, excuse me, Miss Kathy?
Yeah, hi. Sorry.
I'm actually on a
super tight schedule, everyone,
so I'm just gonna go right now,
if you all don't mind.
Thanks.
- Oh, of course, sir.
We know you're very busy.
- Hi. This is from
"Dear Evan Hansen."
It's about a kid
who's a real nobody,
like most of you.

- That was brilliant, George!
- Aw, thank you, guys.
Wow! Standing ovation.
I mean, I was pretty amazing.
Well, I think you found
your Oliver, Miss Kathy.
- I think you're right.
- Everyone else
can just be an urchin.
And I'm gonna need
an understudy
to cover for me in rehearsals,
so
how about you do that too,
Sebastian?
- But, George, you haven't even
heard me audition yet.
I was going to sing something
from "Spring Awakening."
- Aw, why don't you sing it
tomorrow, dear?
I think that was
a pretty tough act to follow.
- It was also a tough act
to listen to.
- Shh, you're gonna
get us both killed.
- It's all right, Greg.
It happens.
We've all forgotten
to charge him.
Let's fire it up.
- Can I do it this time?
- Well, the good news is,
it worked.
- Someone needs to reset
the circuit breaker.
- I'll do it.
- oh, Kevin.
Thank you.
- Pleasure.
Delighted to help.
- Let's get him out.

- Thanks for coming, O.
I'm gonna need all the help
I can get
now that I have to carry
this fucking show
on my back.
- Of course, sir.
Hey, guys.
Hey. Bad news.
You're actually
in my dressing room.
Oh, yeah.
Miss, can you start
moving your kids out of here?
I think there's space
in the hallway.
And take all your shit.
Great.
Now that that's taken care of,
let's do a mirror here,
a couch here, and vanity there.
What else?
Oh, let's see.
Let's see.
-Oh, maybe get me J.
-Lo
and Mariah's riders
and just add
what they have too.
- I can't take anymore
of this, Camilla.
How do I let her know?
How do I let Mummy know
that I wanna be king
if I can't even get a word in?
Oh,
I want to be king!
I want to be--
You're right.
I'm going into that office
and I'm going
to get my audience
whether she likes it or not.
Slap me again.
Again.
Harder.
-
Oi.
Keep it moving!
- Who's next?
- I am, Mummy.
- Don't let him in!
- Oh, hey.
I didn't know you were here.
- Hello, Mummy.
- So what can I do for you,
Charles?
- Too long have I gone
without an answer
to the one question
so dear to my heart.
- And what the fuck
would that be?
- I, uh
I just wanted to, uh
I wanted to know when--
- Well, what is it?
- When you wanted
to have dinner this evening.
- Get him out.
- Did you hear her?
Hey, keep it moving, bitch!
Next lad!
- Wow, look at
all these people.
You weren't kidding
when you said "Suits"
was a global
and cultural phenomenon.
- That's not my class.
It's an AA meeting.
- Oh. Where's your class?
- Right there.
Bye, guys!
Remember, listening is key.
- At least you had people.
- They showed up
for marriage counseling,
so I kind of made it that.
How was your first day?
- I was fired.
It was so hard,
but they did let me take
some expired cake pops home.
Want one?
- Yes.
♪
- Is my tea ready?
- Almost, sir.
- And you got the manuka honey?
- I did, sir.
- And you're stirring it
counterclockwise?
- Just like Mariah likes it.
- This tastes like
it was stirred clockwise,
but I'll let it go.
I wonder how Sebastian's doing.
Poor thing is probably
a ball of nerves.
It's not easy being
an understudy,
especially for me.
Oh, I wish you could've seen
my audition, O.
