[SONDHEIM'S "OLD FRIENDS" PLAYS]

INSTRUCTOR: What a beautiful
September morning.

Welcome to Strutting with Sondheim.

You know, a lot of people
think that Sondheim's

music isn't danceable or very catchy.

Well, they can go f*ck themselves.

All right, let's all partner up!

Remember, hand to hand, eye
to eye, actual emotions.

Let's make some human connections
today, people, okay?

Excuse me, where are
you going, Barcelona?

Partner up?

I'm not touching a stranger's hands.

Yeah. They'll be all clammy.

If I wanted clams, I'd
go to the oyster bar

and trick a day trader into
buying me some chowder.

[SCOFFS] You go to the oyster bar?

What are you, a prost*tute?

That's the nicest thing
anyone's ever asked me.

Ugh. Look at that.

"Dr. Doolittle 2."

I'm so glad, because I didn't feel "Dr.
Doolittle 1"

incorporated enough of Eddie
Murphy's h*m* stand-up.

You know, I heard in
this one we get closure

on that night he was a "good Samaritan"

and picked up that trans prost*tute

who later d*ed under
mysterious circumstances.

[LAUGHTER] Well, either way,

he's definitely gonna talk to animals.

SINGERS: ♪ Here's to us ♪

Aww, where we met.

This place should be a
New York City landmark.

Agreed. Okay, next stop on the
"Billy Farewell Tour" checklist,

there are two leather bars
we have to say good-bye to

before you leave for LA.

But one is a Sephora now.

We'll go anyway. I need mascara.

Hi! We're looking for the
Broadway Dance School?

Aw, you two are as
bright-eyed and bushytailed

as Gaby Hoffman when she goes
bottomless on "Transparent."

Let me give you a word of advice.

New York is gonna eat you
alive like it's Lea DeLaria

and you're a pretty new extra
on "Orange is the New Black."

Go back to Kentucky.

How did you know that my wife
and I were from Kentucky?

Bye.

[BRASH PUNK MUSIC]

f*ck! f*ck! f*ck!

What's wrong, Chinese New Year?

Did Malcolm Gladwell
post another podcast

explaining how comedy works?

I'm officially unemployed.

The website I do recaps
for just went under.

Hulk Hogan sued them too. He
was on a roll after Gawker.

Don't worry, Lunchables.

You know I'm the stable breadwinner.

In fact, since PBS moved
to Jupiter, Florida,

I'm even more invaluable.

Yeah, I guess.

PAT KIERNAN: Both the Zumba Madam

and the Cannibal Cop remain
in stable condition.

And in non-New York news, a
massive sinkhole in Jupiter,

Florida, has suddenly devoured
the PBS headquarters.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Oh, my god.

That's horrible.

On the upside, I never have to see you

in those corduroy shorts again.

- Noodles!
- Sorry.

Please. A little respect?

I just lost most of my colleagues.

We were never warned about
sinkholes growing up.

Back on "Gilligan's Island," it was

quicksand this and quicksand that.

[GROANS]

I have a powerful formative memory

of Ginger being tied to a tree.

Somebody got over the death
of his coworkers quickly.

So when you're seating a party,

you just want to check it off here

so you don't double-book a table.

You got it?

[MOANING]

I'm sorry. Um, I'm just gonna ask it.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Uh...

You're Tony Hale.

That's right. That's right.

So why have you decided to wait tables?

- Because...
- I'm Tony Hale.

You're Tony Hale.

[LAUGHS] I know. [QUIETLY]
I want stability.

Hollywood just chews you
up and spits you out.

My biggest regret was when I gave up

my lunchtime shift at the
Caliente Cab Company

after my second Emmy win for "VEEP."

Well, I'm actually about to move to LA,

and I'm gonna set that town on fire!

Oh, yeah.

I tried to set that town on fire too.

I made it look like an accident,

but the insurance agents know
every trick in the book.

Attention, work family!

I have some exhilarating news
that will wrap up my arc

of wanting to be on a reality show!

You got on a reality show?

No, you dirty dunce!

But I did get a final callback

for the reboot of "Supermarket Sweep!"

Yes!

"Supermarket Sweep" is a game show.

Yeah, but on it, I play
myself, which is real.

All I have to do is complete
an extensive personality test.

Matthew, that is so exciting!

[LAUGHS]

Okay, dial it down, Mary.

Behind with hot.

- [SCREAMS]
- Oh, my god.

Mummenschantz! Not again!

This makeup is just new technique

for avoiding facial recognition cameras.

Hey, sisters. This is Lola.

I'm gonna tell you
what you need to do to

walk through the streets of
New York City undetected.

First you're gonna need.

Scotch tape, black lipstick,

a tennis racquet,

and you'll definitely need a shirt

you don't mind setting on fire.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You haven't seen her makeup tutorials?

Okay, the camaraderie at
Caliente was so much stronger.

Laugh all you want, but the
CIA doesn't know that I went

to Chop't for lunch. Can
you say the same, Tony?

[CHUCKLES]

I cannot.

I went to Wendy's.

Can everybody gather around?
We have some news.

It's got nothing to do
with our baby, okay?

Gather around.

So Sephora is buying up
the entire neighborhood

and turning all the East Village

into a sprawling monster location.

ALL: What?

Our beloved café will soon
just be some Nars lipliners.

Avenue B is going to
become a giant aisle

of Kat Von D's liquid lipsticks.

That's a good lipstick.

What about the Stomp theater?

The Stomp theater will
remain the Stomp theater.

- Thank god.
- Wait a second. I'm sorry.

Sephora can't just come in

and take over an entire neighborhood?

Now that corporations are a
division of U. S. m*llitary,

they can pretty much
inv*de wherever they want.

- Panera Breads got nukes.
- Oh, my god.

D's Cafe is no more.

[WAILS QUIETLY] f*ck.

f*ck.

- Yeah. Yeah.

Welcome,

surviving members of PBS.

Thank you for meeting
me at my laundromat.

Let's dive in before my towels are done.

We need to go to Congress
to ask for money.

Well, it was Walt
Gleacher's job to testify,

and he d*ed in the sinkhole.

And all of his successors are dead too,

due to unrelated Florida mayhem.

So what are you saying, Gaby?

If you don't make a plea
to Congress, we're done.

Gaby, I have insufferable stage fright.

Are you okay with knowing
that we're never gonna run

another Wilco episode of
"Austin City Limits"?

Or broadcast Micky
Dolenz's one-man show?

No.

I'm not okay with that.

Good.

[DRYER BUZZES] Oh.

My towels are done.

Mom, if your AOL keeps crashing,

that's just God's way of
telling you to stop using AOL.

Please, don't evoke God.
Just fix my email.

Okay.

What's your password?

- Marilyn.
- Marilyn.

Mom, you have a lot of unreturned emails

in your trash folder from your editor.

"Where is the manuscript?"

"Final notice"?

[SIGHS]

Mom, your book is due tomorrow

or else you lose your deal.

I know! I know. I'm scared.

Well, you can't just ignore this

and hope it goes away!

Remember when I forgot to return.

"King Ralph" to Blockbuster?

And then as soon as I
realized it was late,

I hid it in the back of
my closet for six months.

Oh, I remember.

I bailed you out.

Now I have a $539 VHS
copy of "King Ralph."

[SIGHS]

If I don't hand in this manuscript,

it will be the first time in
my life that I've ever failed.

Help me, Julie.

This was my "King Ralph."

[SIGHS]

Brew a pot of coffee.

Okay.

Ah, wait. That's Esmerelda's job,

and she's got Lupus again.
That loafing Lucy.

Do you really need coffee?

Yeah, because we're gonna
stay up together all night

and we're gonna write your book.

In one night?

It's self help.

It's all anecdotal and catchphrases.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
I've got one.

"Nobody asked me!"

Yeah, we're not gonna use that one.

Listen, the secret to
writing is that you can't

write and judge at the same time.

You can either write or you can judge.

So it's a two-man job! Okay, great.

You write, I'll judge, and we'll

I guess they fracked this powder

You're a seasoned performer.

Okay, well, here's your first tip:

Never call a woman "seasoned."

And acting is just imitating

somebody else's acting, then
passing it off as your own

with Jack Nicholson,

or Mark Wahlberg did
with a pile of bricks.

Okay, that's good. Who shall I act like?

James Cagney?

who's forcing me to pretend

that I care that Billy is leaving,

even though you know I don't.

[ALL SCREAM] What the hell?

Calm down, you babies.

I just upgraded to this ski mask

because I learned that makeup

contains tiny transmitters
that report your location.

When you use products from the
United States of Sephora,

Uncle Sam knows exactly where you are.

Lola, please... it's Billy's night.

I got cast on "Supermarket Sweep!"

darling little movie about how
psychotherapy murders people.

And then they had me hold
these two little metal cans

Billy, what's going on? Talk to me.

What's going on is

TODD WAS RIGHT: Not saying good-bye

doesn't mean I'm not leaving.

I don't want to lose you.

I know I should say
something supportive,

but what's to become of me, Billy?

I don't want to be the
free radical of hags,

floating around without a partner!

Think about all the terrible gays

I could attract as a new best friend:

A guy that does autobiographical
shows at piano bars,

someone in fashion!

What about me?

What kind of nightmare hags
in LA am I gonna attract?

A burlesque dancer! A Groundling!

I'm gonna throw up.

- A Groundling, Julie!
- I'm gonna throw up!

A Groundling!

What if I come with you?

No, you can't come with me.
That's crazy.

Just enough time to get you settled.

I guess that would mean
that we'd never have to

say good-bye or deal with our feelings!

much I'm your only guest.

Yeah, that's exactly why
you're my only guest;

Not because Sheree Whitfield has been

stuck in an elevator for
the past 45 minutes.

I agree, my book is extremely brave.

I actually didn't...

Well, Andy, you do not get to spend

two months on top of "The New
York Times" bestseller list

if you're cowardly.

Marilyn, you are very
honest in your book about

the pursuit of happiness
without more antidepressants.

Honest.

What was your favorite
part of writing the book?

Getting my hair done,
and raising my rates...

well, and I mean helping people.

And I enjoyed being there
for the actual writing.

It's rare that you get to spend
so much time with your...

voice... without fighting.

I've been trying to become a writer

so I don't become my mother.

Now I finally have success as a writer,

and all I had to do is become my mother.

What are you watching?

That doesn't sound like
"Independent Lens."

I had to take a break
from PBS to watch my mom

on "Watch What Happens
Live" from last night.

She's gonna quiz me about it later.

Pencils down, Lady Foot Locker.

Breakfast is served.

You know, I don't mean
to sound ungrateful

I know you got me the
job and everything;

It's just recapping PBS shows for PBS

seems more useless than
shaving your p*ssy

before you go to a "Sound
of Music" singalong.

I can't disagree, but

a lot of people enjoy
PBS's Online Presence.

[SIGHS] When do I get paid again?

Ooh, funny you should ask, Senate Floor.

The government funding
just came through!

PBS finally got the check!

- Congratulations.

That says "TBS."

Yeah, they misunderstood.

That's why it says "Very
Funny" on the memo line.

Anyway, it's easy to change a T to a P.

I'm gone for 6 months,

and they turned the
Broadway Dance School

into an NYU dorm with a
Chase Bank in the lobby?

Yeah, the only thing that
never changes about New York

is people in New York talking about

how New York has changed.

Very true. Hey.

Todd's working late tonight.
Do you wanna go see a movie?

Yeah!

I'm in the mood for
something really awful,

like maybe something
from the Dirtyverse.

Ah, you mean like, "Dirty
Grandpa," "Bad Santa."

"Bad Moms," "Bad Teacher,".

"Horrible Bosses."

Yeah, "Crappy Cousin."

"Lousy Abortionist."

"Gross Ghost."

"Perverted Architect."

"Cunty Kid."

[LAUGHTER]

Should we really see "Dr. Doolittle 2,"

or should we just give that money

to The Gay Men's Health Crisis?

I'm having a Gay Men's Mental
Health Crisis of my own

just thinking about Eddie Murphy

talking to an alligator with
the voice of Kevin Pollak.

- [LAUGHS]
- What else is playing?

Well, if you're in the mood
to watch "King Ralph,"

I happen to own a very expensive copy.

- Oh, I love "King Ralph!"
- Yeah.

- I'm Billy, by the way.
- I'm Julie.

You know, I don't think
I've ever said this once

in my life, but it's nice to meet you.
