DAVE (2020) s03e08 Episode Script
Met Gala
1
- DAVE: Oh, my God.
- Is this garlic hummus?
- DAVE: I like it.
- Should we, like, switch to tahini, or
- I think we should, like, uh,
- ketchup?
abandon all condiment-based
hand jobs just for a moment.
- You could be right. I don't know.
- We can reconfigure,
come up with something new fun to do.
What do you want to do next?
Uh, wash my hand?
Right this way.
- Yeah.
- You think you know my home, right?
- I think I do.
- You think you know me.
You think you know what I stand for?
- Where you going?
- Turns out you don't know anything
about my home.
Shut up!
Turns out I'm a
little bit of a mystery.
As is this secret passageway.
This is so much cooler
than a hummus hand job.
- DAVE: Yeah, we should probably wash up.
- Hi, I'm Dave ♪
I'm Lil Dicky ♪
Hi, I'm Dave ♪
- Who's Dave? ♪
- DAVE: I got her right here.
Yup. I have her. I have Huh.
No, I got her. She's a half-white,
- half-Chinese Jezebel.
- (LAUGHS)
Beautiful. Yup, got her.
Really dainty tattoos. Yeah.
I don't know what to do
with my body right now.
Oh, you're doing all the right shit.
This is like The Notebook,
but, like, way grittier
and way less idealized.
Is she gonna actually see this footage?
- Who's she?
- Oh. Emma.
Oh, I don't know. She
just left this here.
- Look at you.
- You know, The Notebook is such a basic
- You're basic for saying.
- You're better than that?
The Notebook is basic.
No, you're just a contrarian, you know?
Come here. I'm gonna shut you up.
Oh, what the fuck is this?
What?
That's my bear mace.
- Your bear mace?
- Mm-hmm.
(LAUGHS): To be fair,
that was supposed to go next to the bed.
Yeah, look, we'll put it in the closet,
'cause things like this
don't belong out in the
- This is not how we do it in Los Angeles, okay?
- Good call, Captain.
Yeah. And I'm not above
what I preach, you know?
We can't have crossbows
in the closet, either.
This was from tour. This will be moved.
- Oh, look at this.
- (CLOSET DOOR CLOSES)
- Is that my elephant?
- Yes, he made a friend.
- Oh, wow.
- Look.
DAVE: Oh, which one is he?
He's Oh, he's the sturdy one.
ROBYN: You know that you
don't actually own him, right?
You just you finance his survival.
And one day, me and you
are gonna go to Africa,
and we're gonna visit our boy.
- Stop.
- Yeah, it's our son,
and we deserve to see him,
and he deserves to see us.
You're such a good hands-on father.
- Oh, yeah?
- We need more of you these days.
- Mamma mia.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
(PHONE BUZZES)
- DAVE: Will you go one day with me?
- To Africa?
- Yeah.
- Are you kidding? Mm.
DAVE: Little bit of
a phone call going on.
Oh, my God. Mike will not
leave me the fuck alone.
What is it?
He wants me to get
fitted for the Met Gala.
- Uh, I got invited, and I
- Wait, what?
- Yeah.
- Wait, what?
- You're
- Oh, come on.
You got invited to the Met Gala?
(HIGH-PITCHED): Yeah. Yeah.
Why are you so high-pitched?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That's crazy. Wait, that's huge.
I-I don't get wrapped
up in this superficial
Hollywood pecking
order bullshit anymore.
That's old me. New me, way more into
something like you.
Turns me on thinking of
you walking up those steps
- with that ass. (LAUGHS)
- Yeah?
- Grab my ass.
- Mm.
- I can't believe you're going.
- I'm gonna grab your ass.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)
I mean, I asked him to
take it down, but he won't.
So, this is Beau Newman's TikTok?
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm so sorry, Delaney.
This stuff shouldn't
happen, but it does,
because boys are the worst.
Well, there's actually one of you, too.
- Of me?
- Yeah.
BEAU (ON VIDEO): Man,
Ms. Wernick, oh, my God.
Look at her titties.
I don't care how old she is, man.
I want to fuck her so bad.
They're popping while
I bend her right over.
♪
Beau!
Beau, need to speak with you.
- Yeah, what can I do for you?
- I just saw your TikTok.
- Dope.
- Okay.
I need you to delete the video of me
and of any other faculty
members or any other students.
Okay? Or you're taking
it up with the principal.
Is that clear?
Yeah, you want me to
delete it, Ms. Werdick?
- It's "Wernick," Beau.
- Yeah, that's what I said.
Uh, Mrs. Werdick.
- I said it right, right?
- (OTHERS LAUGHING)
(LAUGHING FORCEFULLY):
You're so fucking funny.
Funny Beau who wants
to bend me over a desk
and fuck me, right?
- Um
- Well, here I am.
Here are my big titties for the taking.
Right? Oh, you want to fuck me, Beau?
- You want to fuck me, Beau?
- PETERSON: Ms. Wernick?

(MUFFLED CHATTER)
DAVE: Al? Al? Al!
- Yes. Sorry.
- Clock in.
You know I don't pick an
outfit out without you.
Uh, sorry.
It's it's amazing. (CHUCKLES)
- It's the Met Gala we're talking here.
- Yeah.
We need to make a splash, okay?
- Yes. Yes.
- We need to do something big.
Like what Jack Harlow did.
Oh, my God. When he said "I love you"
to Emma Chamberlain on
the red carpet, I freaked.
I recorded it, rewound it,
recorded it, rewound it.
- I kept watching it ov
- What is the deal with this guy?
- Oh, my God.
- I don't understand.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
It's like, he's tall,
he's good-looking.
He makes Gen Z's pussy quiv. Who cares?
- Dave.
- JOHN-PAUL: Sounds like this guy cares a little bit.
This is my first reentry back
into society since the whole
- You didn't hang yourself?
- DAVE: Oh, no, not ha
- Yeah, yeah.
- You know b Like, whatever.
Everyone's gonna be wondering,
like, what is he up to?
What's his next move?
Who is Lil Dicky 2.0? Right?
Are we missing an opportunity to
make some kind of statement here?
You can bring attention to a-a cause,
- you know, that you care about.
- A cause.
Use your platform for good.
I used to not care at all
about what to care about.
Now I care about what to care about.
I just have no idea what to care about.
Ghosts.
Ghosts, it's ghosts. I'm sorry.
Right now? Right now, it's ghosts.
I've never encountered
any sort of ghost issue.
Okay, then I'll fucking kill myself.
What about climate change?
- Climate change?
- Hmm.
We have 11 years to stop the temperature
from rising 1.5 degrees Celsius,
and if we don't do that,
it will lead to catastrophic damage
that will lead to the
destruction of the Earth's
- Are you kidding?
- JOHN-PAUL: It is what it is.
How is no one talking about this?
- ALLY: People are talking about it.
- Everybody's talking about this.
How is this not, like,
leading SportsCenter every day?
Like, breaking news, we have ten years,
364 days left, like we have
Ooh, I love this for you.
Okay, yes, a look about climate change.
- Okay, okay, okay. Earth.
- Save the Earth. Save the Earth.
- I have it. I can't tell you.
- DAVE: What is it?
It's got to be a rush job.
- It's gonna cost you five times as much.
- Five?
But it's gonna be good, and
I really need this right now
- psychologically, like
- Al! Will you be in charge
of making sure that I
use my platform for good?
- From here on out?
- Wait, are you serious?
Yeah, I need someone to do
that. Who better than you?
You're the moral compass of life for me.
Would you take that honor, or
do you not have the bandwidth?
(CHUCKLES): Ban Bandwidth? Yeah. Yes!
I have bandwidth. I have bandwidth.
- Yeah?
- Yes, yeah, please.
- DAVE: Great.
- ALLY: Yes. Yeah.
CEO of morality.
Whoo!
- GATA: Yeah.
- CATHERINE: Okay, there we go.
- Don't scratch my baby.
- No, I promise you I will not.
- All right.
- (LAUGHS)
CATHERINE: All right.
- Aw
- All right, Moms.
- You want it back by 4:00 or 5:00?
- Oh, it's all good.
Do what you got to do. I'm-a
just get a ride from Elz.
Okay.
They really stole your shit
straight out the driveway.
I can't believe they took the car.
The whole block is getting worse.
- It's getting tricky over there, Moms.
- Yeah.
But don't you worry about me, baby.
You just focus up, okay?
They got me on this panel, just me.
- (LAUGHS)
- No LD.
- Can you believe that?
- Yes, I can.
- I love you, baby.
- All right, I love you, Moms.
You have Mm. You have fun, okay?
Ey, pray for me now.
- Oh, child Always.
- GATA: Whoo!
(LAUGHS) Oh, shoot.
Oh, yeah, look at this here, bruh.
I'm about to get my
William Shakespeare on
up in this motherfucker, bro.
- Thanks for coming, dawg.
- Of course. This is crazy.
This is like a real event.
I know, bro, they got stars
coming out, make a cameo and shit.
Dude, I didn't realize you were
like such a mental health expert.
What? (SCOFFS)
I'm about to win this shit, bro.
Gata, you know it's a panel.
There's no winners. There's just losers.
Bro, there's always
room for some gander.
I'm Black and bipolar, bro, seriously.
- They need a real nigga out here like me giving perspective.
- Do they?
What the fuck, dawg? I
thought you was out here
- supporting me, bro.
- I'm here to support you,
but I'm saying do they need
"a real nigga" perspective?
Or do they just need a
nigga up there, you know,
- to fit in with all the white people.
- I'm locked in for this shit, bro.
Cognitive dissonance. You hear that?
Cognitive dissonance.
Took me about a week
to memorize that shit.
I'm about to go backstage.
All right, bro. Good lookin'.
- Hey, I'm-a win this shit, bro.
- (EXHALES SHARPLY)
♪
DAVE: Great call on the
contact lenses, John-Paul.
I love this shit. I feel
like Bradley fucking Cooper.
Imagine someone walking
down the red carpet
with brown eyes? (LAUGHS)
- You look hot.
- I'm gonna send
a little pic to Robyn. She's
got the house to herself,
she might want to masturbate.
- (CAMERA CLICKS)
- Oh, Dave.
I didn't realize you had a girlfriend.
Eh not my girlfriend.
Definitely a special
person in my life right now.
But she lives in Wisconsin,
and we're kind of like,
in this, like, experimental
new phase of dating,
I suppose, but, uh
I'd say it's like casual sex
with, like, a fuckton of heart.
But you're thinking about her.
You're thinking about her all the time.
Even when you're not with her, right?
Eh, I don't think about her
at every moment, no. Should I?
I don't know, I feel like
casual sex is awesome, right?
It's kind of like, like
it's loose, it's hippie.
It's freeing, you know?
I mean, the specificity
in which they make love,
it's more than that,
it's uniquely intimate.
It's almost primal in its execution.
What the fuck are you talking about?
It's such standard fare with me and her.
It's like, missionary, girl on top.
It's good. I mean, sometimes we sweat.
That's emotional. That's a connection.
- There's something deeper.
- I look her in the eyes.
- And that means a lot.
- I haven't looked anyone
in the eyes before when-when I fucked.
We're the only animals
on earth that do that,
other than bonobos and gorillas.
- A bonobo?
- Mm-hmm. Like the pants.
You think she's sitting
over there, like, thinking,
"When's the day he's gonna
ask me to be his girlfriend?"
MIKE: Well, ma or-or wife.
Whatever. I can't really
focus on that right now.
There's too much potential
energy in the Big Apple.
Look at this. I'm getting fucking
dolled up for the Met Gala.
This is your new beginning,
a new birth for you.
- This is a big moment for my rebrand, and
- MIKE: Huge.
- Dave.
- DAVE: Yeah?
- Dave, my sexy boy.
- Yeah?
It's time to see the suit.
- (GROANS)
- I haven't slept in three days,
- but we got this all figured out.
- Show me.
- Okay. Well, you wanted big.
- Yeah.
I can give you bigger than
you've ever seen, baby.
- Okay.
- Okay, so,
here we have you.
You're walking down the red carpet.
You're looking cutie,
you're looking sexy,
- you're looking gorg-eanica, you're slaying.
- Well animated, yeah.
But is that all it is?
No. Not in John-Paul's world.
I don't do shit like that.
So, you're gonna get
to your trigger point.
- Trigger point?
- And you're going to yank on this chain,
which is gonna be in the back
attached to the accelerator
that will fire up,
and then you're gonna inflate.
Holy shit.
- JOHN-PAUL: Big. The world.
- DAVE: So okay.
- You're. The. Globe.
- The globe, yeah.
- Yes. Yes. Yes.
- Very cool conceptually.
So, big enough to where
it's knocking all that
JOHN-PAUL: We're talking 40 feet.
It's gonna take up
the whole entire space.
So if I was here, and
I pulled the thing,
and like, he was here, he would
Not quite like a bomb, but
somewhere in the middle.
- Like an airbag?
- Yeah, don't say "bomb."
- Like an airbag, exactly, yeah.
- Oh.
- Don't say "bomb" to the press.
- AVA: Don't say "bomb."
It looks like it's gonna
hurt a-a little bit.
- Yeah.
- For a few people.
It would hurt more if
the world wasn't saved.
- Yeah.
- Dave, I just need you to know
that you're gonna get
permanently banned.
So? You think I give a shit about
MIKE: He does not give a shit.
the Met Gala and all
these goddamn celebrities?
The world is exploding!
- Yeah.
- Or ending or you know
Whew! Oh, my God, we're
gonna be, like, the most
talked-about people in the world.
- In the world. Yeah.
- But for the world.

were a little confusing.
I had to understand my gender identity,
my sexuality
Sexuality? Oof!
That shit got me going crazy.
Did y'all know that
I'm a sex addict, too?
Check this story out.
One time, I was in
my car, bored as hell,
so I, you know, slide in a chick's DM,
tell her to come through, she pull up,
whoop-deep-whoop, yada, yada, yada.
But she didn't look nothing

Because the most visible
picture at this thing

What is the bathroom selfie?
Every year the coolest celebs
go to the bathroom at the same time
- and take a selfie.

- Hi.
- I'm Dave. Nice to meet you.
- Dave, nice to meet you.
You having fun?
Uh, not particularly.
- (LAUGHS): No.
- To be frank with you, no.
It's my first Met Gala,
and it's just not going
anywhere close to how I envisioned it.
Hey, honestly, these
things really stress me out.
- Yeah?
- I only came, my publicist forced me,
so I could promote my next movie.
Well, if it makes you feel any better,
I will go see that movie.
So the promotion actually worked.
Tell your publicist you've
got one customer locked in
to go see that new film.
- All right, I will
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna let her know, thank you.
- Yeah.
My publicist made me come here, too.
- Really?
- Yeah, I've got a publicist, as well.
What do you do, Dave?
I'm a rapper.
- Yeah.
- A rapper?
- Cool, right?
- Very.
- Yeah.
- So, like, you could write a rap about us
meeting like losers on the ground.
Couple of people chitchatting,
sitting Indian style.
I would knock it out of the park.
(LAUGHING)
I'm really bummed that
you're not having fun
- at your first Met Ball.
- Uh, well
What can we do to turn that around?
How can we make it better?
I mean, do you know anything
about this bathroom selfie thing?
- I feel so lame asking that.
- No, don't feel lame.
I felt the exact same way.
You just need someone
to get the ball rolling.
- Okay.
- So I'm gonna corral everybody up.
And you're gonna go to the bathroom.
Everyone comes in, and it's
gonna down just like that.
You really have that

- is because I came first.
- Mm.
Look at how you've modeled
your whole physicality.
I mean, surely you must hear it a lot.
I do know who you are,
and you're actually
the worst thing that's
ever happened to my career.
Hard to compete.
You know, just being
associated with you at all is
it's tough. I can't lie, but
I get through it, as you can see.
It's hard to be
associated with this level
of art.
It's a breeze at the end of the day.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
- Don't touch.
You can look, but you can't touch.
I'd rather touch almost.
I'll give it to you, you got hot.
Some people want to be hot,
some people don't, I get it.
"Ooh, I put earrings in."
If I wore those, I'd look like a woman.
- (SNIFFING)
- What are you doing?
Mmm.
You stink, bitch.
I like that.
(SCOFFS) Got beef?
'Cause I got a whole slab.
(HARLOW SCOFFS)
Pussy.
Okay.
"Slab"?
Thank you all so much
for joining us here today.
So, Demi, tell us, where do you stand
on the media's portrayal
of mental health?
Well, look, I've made my
fair share of mistakes.
And I love you, media,
but you love to tear us down.
Still if you've got a platform,
you have to stay open,
keep yourself accountable,
you know what I mean?
I agree, you got to
put your shit out there
- every day.
- Wait, we can curse?
- I want a do-over.
- (LAUGHTER)
Oh, yeah, you a fool, Demi Lovato.
And you got a cold-ass falsetto, but
that's what it's about though,
you know? Share your pain,
and somebody else
will share theirs, too.
Lot of people connect with me, honestly,
'cause I am bipolar.
- (AUDIENCE MURMURING)
- Oh, me, too.
I feel you on that.
I think it's about staying
true to your feelings.
For me, at least. You know,
when I was younger, things
were a little confusing.
I had to understand my gender identity,
my sexuality
Sexuality? Oof!
That shit got me going crazy.
Did y'all know that
I'm a sex addict, too?
Check this story out.
One time, I was in
my car, bored as hell,
so I, you know, slide in a chick's DM,
tell her to come through, she pull up,
whoop-deep-whoop, yada, yada, yada.
But she didn't look nothing
like her pictures though.
That's when I realized
I got sucked by a fat bitch
just to feel something.
And after I bust, I'm like, "Damn.
Nigga really got a problem."
(AUDIENCE WHISPERING, MURMURING)
What the fuck is Gata talking about
in front of all these white people?
Hey, do you, do you know him?
Uh, unfortunately.
Aw, man, your friend is awesome.
Uh, my name's Ted Shunim.
- I make reality TV.
- Elz.
I've got this new show.
It's a mental health
show called Nut Haus.
- He would be great.
- I mean, you could talk to Gata.
He'd do anything to be
famous at this point.
What, I'm supposed to be up
here keeping it real, right?
No need to whisper.
- Right.
- (AUDIENCE MURMURING)
And, um
uh, Mr. Steer, you've talked about
And I never met my dad.
And I call my aunt my
mom because she raised me.
Oh.
- GATA: That shit kills me every day.
- Mm.
I'm not gonna allow y'all
to sit up here and judge me.
Only God can judge me.
That's cognitive dissonance.
- That's beautiful.
- (APPLAUSE)
Thank you so much for
sharing that with us.
He's gonna be famous.
I want to save the Earth,
too, Al, I really do,
but, like, Don Cheadle's
here, Harlow (STAMMERS)
It's like, it's a lot. It's
an overwhelming situation.
ALLY: Look, it's not a lost cause.
Because the most visible
picture at this thing
is always the bathroom selfie.
I have no idea what that means.
What is the bathroom selfie?
Every year the coolest celebs
go to the bathroom at the same time
- and take a selfie.
- (SIGHS)
You've got to find out
when they're doing it,
get in there and pull that cord.
Well, how does it, how do I do that?
- I don't know how that fucking shit works.
- Um
excuse me, do you, do
you mind if I, um
just, uh, plug in here?
Thanks, Olaf, bye.
- Is that okay? Okay.
- Yeah.
- Thank you. Sorry.
- Yeah, take a seat.
There's, like, one outlet
in this whole place.
- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah, I could use a seat.
- Whew!
- Whew.
Oh, that feels better.
(EXHALES)
You okay?
Yeah, just
- can't see anything with this thing on.
- Oh, yeah.
I'm Rachel.
- Hi, Rachel.
- Hi.
- I'm Dave. Nice to meet you.
- Dave, nice to meet you.
You having fun?
Uh, not particularly.
- (LAUGHS): No.
- To be frank with you, no.
It's my first Met Gala,
and it's just not going
anywhere close to how I envisioned it.
Hey, honestly, these
things really stress me out.
- Yeah?
- I only came, my publicist forced me,
so I could promote my next movie.
Well, if it makes you feel any better,
I will go see that movie.
So the promotion actually worked.
Tell your publicist you've
got one customer locked in
to go see that new film.
- All right, I will
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna let her know, thank you.
- Yeah.
My publicist made me come here, too.
- Really?
- Yeah, I've got a publicist, as well.
What do you do, Dave?
I'm a rapper.
- Yeah.
- A rapper?
- Cool, right?
- Very.
- Yeah.
- So, like, you could write a rap about us
meeting like losers on the ground.
Couple of people chitchatting,
sitting Indian style.
I would knock it out of the park.
(LAUGHING)
I'm really bummed that
you're not having fun
- at your first Met Ball.
- Uh, well
What can we do to turn that around?
How can we make it better?
I mean, do you know anything
about this bathroom selfie thing?
- I feel so lame asking that.
- No, don't feel lame.
I felt the exact same way.
You just need someone
to get the ball rolling.
- Okay.
- So I'm gonna corral everybody up.
And you're gonna go to the bathroom.
Everyone comes in, and it's
gonna down just like that.
You really have that
kind of influence, huh?
I got them eating out
of the palm of my hand.
- Yum, yum, yum.
- Ah!
- Are you gonna be in this picture with me?
- No, God no.
No, no, no. I don't take
pictures in bathrooms anymore.
The elephant in the room is,
like, getting up is gonna be,
like, borderline
impossible in this outfit.
- Really?
- Yeah, will you help me up?
I can't.
I was hoping you would help me.
Ah, let's combine
- the inertia of
- Where are our publicists?
I know. Here, we can
if we just (GRUNTS)
- (SCREAMS)
- I got you.
- Sorry, sorry. Yes, I'm up.
- You okay?
- (LAUGHS)
- Should we do the plan now?
- Yes. Okay.
- Okay, copy you.
- Copying that.
- Rachel's on the move.
- Roger, you.
- I'm gonna go to the bathroom downstairs.
- Okay, yes.
- Across the hall.
- Go get 'em, tiger.
- Third door. Okay.
No, that's what I'm saying, I
just did it a couple hours ago.
Just handle it, please. Jesus Christ.
So I need you to get in there and
Hang on a second.
Okay, yeah.
I need somebody to get in
there and get rid of it, okay?
Get it out of there
before it opens tomorrow.
Yeah, big red letters
right by the crown.
Yeah, on the inside, Carla, you think
I scaled the outside of the
fucking Statue of Liberty?
No, you don't yell at me, okay?
This is your fucking job!
It's what I pay you for.
Why do you need to know what it says?
It doesn't matter what it sa
It says "fuck white people," okay?
Just get
No, I wasn't on fentanyl
again. Jesus Christ.
(WHISPERS): "Fentanyl"?

Fuck.

(OVERLAPPING CONVERSATIONS)

- Yeah.
- But it's better than pickleball.
- Okay.
CHEADLE: Because you can,
you don't have to be dressed.
- Right, that's true.
- Exactly.
KELLY: Dude, this has
become my favorite part.
- Let's do the selfie.
- Up yours.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Man, that food sucked.
Whoo! We look good, baby.
- Let's do it.
- (TOILET FLUSHES)
- Selfie time?
- What the fuck?
Whoa.
DAVE: No?
Wait (CHUCKLES)
Are we doing the bathroom selfie, no?
Were you waiting in the
stall for the selfie?
- (LAUGHTER)
- DAVE: No.
If you must know, I was taking a shit.
So
- Ah.
- Ew.
Shitting, he says.
(SNIFFING)
It's fine, guys.
Yeah, uh
I don't think this
guy was taking a shit.
- Wow.
- And I'm from Kentucky, so I know shit.
- That's facts. - Yeah.
- Yeah, he does.
What? What the fuck does that even mean?
Why would you lie about
that? That's so lame.
I'm not lying.
Do you guys want to smell
my asshole for proof?
- Uh, what do you want?
- No, gross.
- FOX: Ew!
- I'm sorry.
- Ugh.
- Criticism aside,
I owe you an apology from Germany.
I am sorry about what happened.
I don't blame you for the
Holocaust just 'cause you're
- a tall Aryan guy.
- That's not at all what I'm talking about.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I've never even been to Europe, dude.
Oh! You've never been to Europe?
- Wow. Really?
- Whoa.
HARLOW: Oh, God.
You would love Europe.
Okay, you don't know anything about me.
None of us do.
BARKER: You guys, shut
the fuck up, let's take
this fucking picture
before I lose my mind.
Please, please.
- Let's do this.
- Yeah.
Why don't you guys stand
right next to me, no, stand
right next to me.
Stand right next to me.
- Okay.
- DAVE: Right here.
- Yeah.
- Okay, remember
- You're gonna remember this shit forever.
- Okay.
- Whole world's gonna see this shit.
- KELLY: All right.
All right, so, uh,
how about "we run this city" on three?
Nice!
CHEADLE: All right, here we go. One,
(DISTORTED): two
three!
- ALL: We run this city
- Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Sorry. (GRUNTING) One more.
Oh, sorry.
You said you didn't want to
be in the bathroom selfie.
Oh, well, well,
one more for old time's sake.
Does my hair look okay?
It looks perfect.
CHEADLE: All right, all
right, let's do this.
One, two, three.
ALL: We run this city!

- All right.
- Another one?
- KELLY: Yes, sir!
CHEADLE: All right, I'm gonna go
hang out with some Black people.
Man, that was an exhilarating
mission, wasn't it?
Uh, yeah.
Thank you for, like,
going all out to set me up

- Oh, yeah, of course.
I mean, you're just you're so cute.

Yeah, I, um
do you live in L. A.?
- Yeah.
