01x02 - Chase Goes to a Premiere

[bunniefuu]

- [phone chimes]
- Hey, cuties!

I'm about to hit the red carpet
with my manager Streeter.

- Say what's up, Streeter.
- What's up!

Shout out to the Lord Jesus Christ

- and Sony Pictures.
- And Sony Pictures.

For letting me and my fam come
to the "When in Gnome" premiere.

Swipe up for tics.

God, why are we even going to this?

Um, because it's
a hot, cool movie premiere.

Why would we not go?

I just thought my first premiere

would be for a movie
that I was actually in.

I'm gonna get
one of those red carpet pics

with a Getty Image watermark,
send it to all my Ohio friends.

- You still talk to them?
- Starting tonight, hopefully.

Damn it.

I don't think
I got this fart commercial.

My agent said they were deciding today.

You two are very sexy people.

[together] Thank you?

bucks, you let me lick your foot?

Oh, my God.

Absolutely.

Ew, Brooke, no.

What? It's bucks.

It's not like I have to lick a foot.

I meant the boy.

Hm?

[sighs] It is $ .

[upbeat electronic music]

Hey, everyone, look over here.

You're not gonna want to miss this.

ChaseDreams, . million followers

across all social media platforms.

He sees you. Please, see him.

- [indistinct shouting]
- [camera shutters clicking]

Let's squeeze in a little
math homework real quick.

- [keys clacking]
- There it is, yeah, yeah...

- [phone chimes]
- A-plus.

- [chuckles]
- Yeah.

Hi.

Oh, congratulations on your wedding.

Oh, no, uh, we're here for the premiere.

Um, our tickets say "general admission,"

but I know that... Sharon wanted
us to walk the red carpet.

You mean Shauna?

[softly] Damn, that was so close.

Nice try, but we can't let
just anyone on the red carpet.

Oh, [soft groan] we're not...
we're not "just anyone."

[soft laugh] We're the Dreamses.

- We are Brooke and Cary Dreams.
- No, I... I'm Cary Dubek.

I'm an actor on my own.

I got into NYU, actually.

I couldn't go, but I got in.

I'm not sure
that's worth saying out loud.

Chase Dreams! Ashley from "Pop Goss."

- How are you?
- I'm good, Ashley.

- How are you?
- I'm great.

Now, tell our readers, boxers or briefs?

I don't know, whatever my mom buys.

[soft chuckle] Aw, cute. Red or yellow?

Red, but yellow's tight too.

Awesome. Israel or Palestine?

Um, I think they're both dope

and should just keep
being true to themselves.

- Yes, absolutely.
- Oh...

The situation's very complicated.

[distant traffic whooshes]

Damn it.

Let's just go in the main entrance...

Cary, we must live every day

like it's the last day
that Chase is famous.

Ooh, I have an idea.

Follow me. Act confident.
Grab something.

What?

[camera shutters clicking]

Hurry, hurry, hurry-hurry-hurry, hurry.

[British accent]
Ugh, another red carpet!

And... and I brought napkins.

Chase, what's your
favorite thing to snack on

when you're jamming out to music?

Um, I don't know. Everything's good.

Okay, well, we're streaming
live on Bagel Bites TV.

So can you say Bagel Bites?

Oh, yeah. Bagel Bites!

Okay, great, but
can you say it in a sentence

like, "I'm Chase Dreams and
when I'm jamming out to music

I love to eat Bagel Bites!"

I'm Chase Dreams and
when I'm jamming out to music

- I love to eat Bagel Bites.
- ...eat Bagel Bites.

Okay, great. Congrats on
whatever it is you do.

- Thanks.
- Haley!

Why is everyone wearing jeans?

I thought they were rich.

Oh, yeah, I think if you're rich,

you can just wear jeans to things.

[sighs] I want to be rich
and wear jeans to things.

- Next.
- Pick someone you look like.

Hi. I'm Tinsley Mortimer
from "The Real Housewives."

And I'm... Ellen DeGeneres.

Nice try.

Please walk back by the bushes

where absolutely no one
will photograph you.

Ellen.

Right this way.

I'm just gonna stick with Tinsley.

Thank you though.

This is bullshit.

I can't believe
Tinsley Mortimer didn't work.

I mean, is it really
that hard to believe

that she would be here?

- That is rude to Tinsley.
- [sighs]

Why isn't my agent calling me?

What's his name again? Shrimp Scampi?

"Skip Shamplin."

Didn't he almost boil to death
or something?

Yeah, he fell asleep in a hotel hot tub.

- [snickers]
- [soft laugh]

See, we're laughing. We're having fun.

Tonight's gonna be great
'cause we're hot,

we're cool, and we're k*lling it.

Oh, hey, remind me, need to find a guy

to go home with tonight
'cause I don't have a house.

I thought you were crashing at work?

I got fired
because one of the bitch agents

found my underwear in the oven.

Chase! Hi!

- Hey.
- Hey.

Oh, my God, how's your first red carpet?

Oh, I can't believe they flew you

all the way out here for this.

It was fun. Streeter's hair melted.

- BOTH: What?
- Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey.

Hi. Streeter. Nice to meet you.

I'm, uh, Chase Dreams' manager.

Yeah, no, we met last week.
We had a full meal together.

Oh, uh, gay brother.
And, uh, girl sister.

Right... oh, you guys
aren't getting married, are you?

Because that would be bad optics
for this guy right here.

Although love is love is love is love,

as, uh, Linda Manuel once said.

It's uh, "Lin-Manuel Miranda."

Lin-Manu... who's Linda Manuel then?

- And why do I represent her?
- Okay, buddy, let's get a pic.

- Yeah.
- Mom wanted to see our outfits.

- Let's do it.
- Yes, oh, let's get a picture!

Okay, here you go, Casey.

- It's "Cary."
- Huh?

Take a sh*t. Here we go.

Everybody say,
"Streeter's less of a manager,

more of a friend."

Please make your way into the theater!

"When in Rome" is about to begin.

I mean, uh... uh... ooh!

Kevin, you had one job. [soft chuckle]

"When in Gnome" is... is about to begin.

Okay, here we go.

The thing is, they want
to make a decision by tonight.

So they'd like you to do
one more read, okay?

They were hoping you could
be a little less, uh,

a little less colorful.

Yeah, uh, yeah,
what do you mean by colorful?

Uh, just, uh, a teensy less

Okay. I mean, the line's just

You know how like,
in real life, you're gay?

- Yes.
- Well, the ad guys love that.

In fact, one of the guys
wanted me to tell you

that his brother is also gay.

- Cool.
- But the thing is

they think that
the character is straight.

You know, because if you're gay

and you're at a party

- Whoo!

I mean, that's a lot
for an audience to digest

Their head's going,

you could read it straighter.

Um, sure, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I just...
I really want to get this.

Um, I know I haven't, um,
booked a lot in a while.

Oh. I'm just assuming.

Anyways, the movie probably felt so long

I'm an actor, uh...

I actually went to

[urinal flushes]

But I'm in New York now,
mostly doing theater.

Or I... I want to

Hi, I'm Brooke.

I was gonna wear jeans to this
'cause I'm rich,

but I just thought that was too obvious.

So that's why I'm in this huge gown.

talking about not having a job.

Well, not like fun fun,
but, you know, party fun.

- What is... what?

Party fun, when everybody at a party

just agrees to perform fun at each other

and it's the collective effort
that makes it fun!

You know, like, uh,
like this little model girl.

She's not having fun fun.

[soft laugh] Yes, I am.

Okay... yeah, but you know,

when you're alone with
your thoughts in bed tonight,

you're not gonna look back
at this party and think,

"That was fun fun."

[soft laugh] Yes, I will.

I'm having the time of my life.

And I'll think back often to
just how much fun this all was.

Okay, well, she's a model.
She doesn't know her own brain.

I'm not a model. I'm an EP on the film.

Jesus.

Okay, well, your movie's r*cist.

[hip-hop music playing]

Yeah, so now
I'm focusing on theater mostly.

- Cool, um...
- I think.

Do you know where
all the celebrities are?

I thought Tinsley Mortimer was here.

Oh, uh, I think
she got turned away at the door.

Oh, I could have sworn I saw her.

I haven't seen ChaseDreams yet either.

I wanted a picture.

- You did?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I mean, I haven't...
I haven't seen him in a while.

But if I do, I'll send him your way.

- What was your name?
- Brittlyn.

And thank you.

I love ChaseDreams.

He's, like, the cutest boy
in the whole world.

Cutest boy?

Everyone's saying I should incorporate,

but I don't know if it's worth it.

I think it is, 'cause you could deduct

all your business expenses.

Think about every time you fly.

I just feel so dumb about this stuff.

Like, should I get an LLC or an S Corp?

What do you have?

Um, you know, actually...

I don't... I don't think...
I'd get either

in this climate.

Hey, Streeter, I can't find you guys.

- Can you put Chase on?
- Chase can't talk right now.

- His neck is bound.
- What?

Yeah, I'm just trying to keep
his Adam's apple under control.

Gotta keep that neck
looking young and slick.

- Ew, don't do that.

Where are you?

Uh, we're on a plane to Pittsburgh.

She loves this kind of stuff.

She's probably having fun
around here somewhere.

wanted a photo with Chase,
but I guess whatever.

Brittlyn? Oh, my God.

That would have been huge for Chase.

Anyway.

I actually did
a lot of theater in college.

Um, yeah, I was weirdly in a main stage

my freshman year, which was
sort of a big deal.

Um, yeah, and this was
the theater school

where Patrick Wilson's cousin went.

I... I didn't know him, but...

We really had to produce an actual event

- and then sh**t at it.
- [Male Voice] Hold.

I... quit.

[upbeat music]

Hey everybody, welcome to
The Other Show, I'm Sarah.

And I'm Chris.

And we're here talking about episode two

of The Other Two with Drew and Helene.

- Yay!
- Hi!

[everyone talking over each other] Hello.

So this episode is
Chase Goes To A Premiere.

Hey cuties, I'm about
to hit the red carpet

with my manager, Streeter.

Say what's up, Streeter.

Wazzup!

So this episode, a lot
of our season takes place

at big events for Chase and
this is the first one of those

where we had to produce a movie premiere

and then we sh*t our episode at it.

It was unbelievable.

We just wanted it to feel legitimate,

Because we wanted to
help legitimize Chase

and the world that these
two doofs are entering.

You know how like in
real life, you're gay?

Yes.

Well, the Ad guys loved
that, in fact one of the guys

wanted me to tell you that
his brother is also gay.

Cool?

[Agent] But the thing is,

they think that the
character is straight.

More than years ago
I went in for an audition,

I don't even know what it was for,

but all I had to do,
I didn't have any lines,

I just had to pantomime
laying fertilizer.

I just had to mime laying
fertilizer and say no lines,

and then when I was done they were like,

"That was great, that was great."

So I think this is sort of like,

a suburban guy, think he's got a wife,

so I was trying to get a little more,

basically saying a little straighter

- [Drew laughs]
- without saying it, and I was like,

how do I mime laying
fertilizer straighter?

Though, I can see it was
probably pretty gay.

[everyone laughs]

So I was like, what do I do?

So then I just did it again
but I was sort of like...

[Chris grunts repeatedly]

And I just coughed and cleared
my throat because I was like,

I guess a straight person would
cough more while he did it.

And then I got it and I've
been in those commercials

for years, you've seen it.

[everyone laughs]

It's played for comedy that
you had to re-sh**t this

audition and do it less gay...

- Yeah.
- ...but then at the very end

where you feel guilty that you
allowed yourself to do that.

Yeah, you kinda see
Cary sort of dealing with

internalized h*m* at the end

- with the waiter being like,
- Yeah.

he's... he's like...

oh, no, no, no, for me it was
just, they wanted it louder,

you know, and like...

I've dealt with that in real life,

you know, where you're self-hatey.

Being a q*eer actor,
you're trying to get,

navigate this world that's
a very difficult area

that you make missteps
in and it's like...

Well, it's like, what do
other people want you be?

But then regardless of what
they want, will I allow myself

to change because of
what I think people want?

Yeah. I feel for Cary. I feel like...

to talk about the characters, you know.

I feel for Cary.

But it's like, you know...

He's in like a tough, you know,

because you're like,
oh, I need this money,

Totally, totally.

I'm gonna throw myself out the window.

No, I like that it never
occurred to him when his agent

was like, do it again, less gay.

He's like, okay, that's
what you gotta do

- and then you're like, oh, duh.
- Yeah.

- [Chris groans] It is...
- Yeah.

- ...rough.
- Yeah.

It's so sad!

Your daddy's...

dead!

[Brylyn weeps] Oh, no!

My daddy's dead?

Kate Simses plays Brylyn.

We really, going into casting,

couldn't tell if we should cast young

and make them look older or cast older

and just be like, they're .

I guess we didn't know what
was gonna work comedically.

Kate made me laugh so hard,

it was so hard to keep a straight face

when she was going into like,

bursting into tears
about my daddy being dead

and her face was just so,
like she was so deeply,

and even in-between takes,
Kate is such a sweet person

that the whole picture
was just unbelievable.

Yeah, because the idea of
that character is very broad

or almost sketchy so we were trying

to make sure it's still grounded,

but she was so good and like,

so funny but still real even
though it was so preposterous.

She's great, I loved her.

- Brooke, thank God.
- Here.

This party is not fun.

Yes, it is.

I'm having fun.

This episode also has my
favorite unspoken joke in it,

which is: you get
drinks for you and Cary

and you guys meet back
together and you give him

the little pink martini glass
and you drink the whiskey,

[Male Voice] Oh, I'm...

I'm auditioning for a commercial.

The fun thing about
that fart commercial is

this is the third time it's been written

- Yeah.
- We tried it once with Paul Rudd

and once with Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

It went really well at the table

and then at dress rehearsal it ate sh*t.

d*ed.

- Right.
- so it's very subtle and small and just

a huge audience, it's not gonna work.

- Yeah.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus,

and it got pulled, it didn't work again.

And we were like, you know what?

Drew Tarver.

Paul Rudd couldn't make it work.

[Drew] I make it work.
