Chase: Hey, Gats!

How did you get into the biz?

Woman (Australian accent): Well, I was in a church...

An ayahuasca church in Brazil, and halfway through the ceremony I looked down and I was like, "Whoa, I'm really close to the ground, and I also have paws."

And then I was like, "sh*t, I'm a dog."

And when I got back to the city I thought, "I have to work with dogs, and I am a dog."

Chase: Uh, well, yeah.

I've never been to church in Brazil.

Um, but it sounds really spiritual, so...

Listen, I hate to run, but I am late.

Uh, if he pushes you around on the walk, just give him a smack on the behind, okay?

You know what? I think we're gonna have a great time.

Uh, bye.

Hey, hey! Stop.

That's right. You stop right there.

Yeah, man, I just took a look at the future.

It's pretty f*cking terrifying.

If you are feeling sad about the future, I can make you feel happy about the present because I just met the most amazing bubble man, and he told me about this crazy bubble show that is going down in Astoria Park at 4:30...

Astoria?

...and I think...

Yes, Astoria.

What, you find the Pulaski Bridge a little too strenuous?

I think you can handle it.

The Guy: No, it's not that, really.

Listen.

Why don't you just jump on your bike, come to Queens, we'll smoke, and then we'll watch the show together, huh?

Don't pretend you don't love Queens.

What about the other doggies, they good?

Oh, the doggies were so good.

But you know what was better than the doggies?

The bubble man.

Bubble man.

All right. But before we do bubs, where do you want to do this?

In there.

You sure?

Oh, yeah.

All right. Sounds good.

In case you didn't notice, it smells like sh*t in here.

I did notice.

It's like, do your dishes, man. Just do 'em.

Or at least put them in the fridge until you're ready to do them.

I mean, that's what I do.

Yeah, that's also an option.

Mm-hmm.

So you got me on the clock for bubs.

It better be good, man.

Oh, sh*t. That's a lot of expectation.

I don't want to build him up too much.

It's kind of more of a conceptual thing.

It's like, here's this guy, and he's just invented this job where he just goes out makes bubbles, makes people happy.

That's pretty cool, I guess.

And so I was thinking, maybe I should learn to do some bubs?

Yeah, bartender, uh, mushrooms, dog-walking, bubs.

Yes, please.

Yeah, thanks.

Really, I just... I think we're good here.

I'm sorry I let you down.
