Oh, that's fine. I always hated that house.

I keep things quiet.

Great. That was it.

Okay. Fine.

I'm sorry. Didn't mean to ruffle you.

Not much.

Just bought a crib.

Whoa, a baby?

Yeah, you know,

I just wrote "coke."

Sorry.

I'm so sorry, ma'am.

Totally. That's insane.

Oh, okay. I see what this is about.

Someone is jealous

Well, Dory and I don't need your permission

It is what it is.
You need to let go of the past.

Oh... are you...

Okay, come on. Marc, we were kids, okay?

And I'm sincerely having

who left who at the altar.

No, no.

I'm just kind of worried about Dory.

She's been kind of MIA recently,

and I just wanted to
know where you saw her.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about her.

I saw her in this delicious ice cream shop

in this little town in
Massachusetts called Babyfoot.

- It's adorable.

It's shaped like a baby's foot.

[MOUTHING WORDS]

[LAUGHS]

Did she seem like she was
in any danger or anything?

No, not at all.

She looked really happy. Great wig.

And we had a really
incredible conversation.


She did scream,
"Dory is dead" and then run away from me,

but, you know, I think that was my fault.

I'm so weird socially... [PHONE CUTS OFF]

We're going to Babyfoot.

No, I don't think it is the Dory girl.

This woman is old. Provincial.

Oh, and there's a room full of chains.

I don't remember them being

Huh. Wow.

Well,
it looks like someone has been living here.

Oh, so creative.

Oh, he could have been
such a successful artist.

Well, there it is.

No, don't worry.
I'll take care of everything.

Hi, sweetheart. I have a question.

There used to be a candy
bar with a big hole in it.

It was long and thin but thick enough

for there to be a stable hole in it.

Do you remember what I'm talking about?

I've been on the hunt for it for years.

Well, I don't know. We got muffins.

We... yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure.

Is there anywhere,
maybe back there, that you...

and we'll pay her off.

Unless, of course, she's just thankful,

grateful for such a wonderful experience,

and then maybe she won't want anything.

Well, $ , , $ , . I don't know.

I mean,
I don't know what kind of person she is.

Hi. I want gas.

I want all the gas that you have.

That's my car right out in front,

seen her around town.

You know, we're very concerned about her.

To pack up our entire lives and start over.

Why? What's happening?

Okay, I'm only just now

And she's our friend, so...

Portia, what on Earth are you doing?

Ugh, Drew.

I'm doing promotional stuff for my movie,
okay?

They're, like,
making me post this official announcement

of myself playing Dory on my social media.

Anyway, it's just, like,

showbiz stuff you wouldn't understand,
Drew... no offense.

Okay, don't talk. [LAUGHS] Okay, thank you.

Hi, everybody!

I'm so excited to share with
you an exclusive first look,

sneak peek of my
transformation as Dory Sief

in "Savage: The Dory Sief Story,"

directed by the genius Lassie Kazar,

who won a Ladypants Award for
"Einstein in Miami."

Oh, my God, right? But yeah.

So you can regard this post as
the official cast announcement

of me playing Dory Sief.

[LAUGHS]

And just to share a
little bit with you guys,

sh**ting has been going so well

and it's just been so incredible to, like,

- No.
- Oh, God, sweetie...

But Elliott, I heard this rumor

they were gonna recast
me with Selena Gomez.

- Excuse me?
- Yeah, and so,

I was, like, freaking out,
and I just thought

I gotta get ahead of this,
and if I do something about it,

then I'll be, like,
reclaiming my destiny or something,

and now that I did it, I just feel like

that was a really bad idea.

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t. Do I delete it?

No, no, no, no, no. Do not delete it.

Do not let them control you.
Just turn your phone off.

- Turn it off.

- Okay, let's go.

- Okay. Good?
- Yup.

Great.

- I don't believe it.
- What happened?

No, not you, Richard.
Someone slashed my tires.

Clearly,
they're jealous of unapologetic wealth.

Hey,
I can get that fixed for you if you want.

Might take me about half hour or so.

All right. Fine, fine, fine, fine.

Just take it out of the $ , .

Okay,
now what am I gonna do for half an hour?

Well, there's a sex
museum right over there.

[FAINT POP MUSIC PLAYING]

Babe, can you please take the wig off?

It's making me uncomfortable.

Elliott, I can't take the wig off, okay?

I just tried, and it's glued and it, like,

- ripped my extensions out.
- Okay, okay.

Also the director just texted
me that it's worth $ , ,

and if I mess it up,
they're taking it out of my pay.

So don't make me feel worse about it.

Turn your phone off.

I don't wanna turn my phone off,

because people are congratulating me.

Hi.

So this is a picture of our friend,

and we just had a few questions
about where they are now.

This picture was taken here on Thursday,

so we were just wondering if was possible

to speak to someone who was
maybe working on Thursday.

Are you guys friends with Jay-Z?

I'm sorry?

I saw your New York license plates.

Do you guys know Jay-Z?

No, we don't,
but if you could please just tell us

who was working here on Thursday,
that would be great.

Yeah, that was me. I saw that girl.

Oh, cool!

Did she seem like, you know,

she might be in trouble or anything?

Like, was she alone or...

She was with some lady with,
like, an old vibe.

Like,
she had red hair with a white streak in it.

And she said they were friends.

She said it, like, a million times.

- That's so weird.
- Yeah, who...

Why would Dory be, like,
friends with an older woman?

Are you guys scared of a t*rror1st att*ck,

or is that over now?

Seriously, Richard,
I do not know what possessed me

to buy property in this surf-and-turf town.

- [INDISTINCT]
- Oh, a penny!

Oh, what a shame to let that go.

Portia, why would you give her your number?

Now she's gonna try to move in with you.

'Cause I remember what it
was like to be her age once.

You remember how this goes? Huh?

- "Find a penny, pick it up"...
- Pick it up...

"Kiss your brother till he's all grown up."

[LAUGHS]

Hmm.

Hi, there.

You're back.

I thought you hated it in here.

Well, I've never been in here in my life.

You were here with your friend on Thursday.

You were pouty.

All right, look.

I don't know what you're talking about,

but I'm choosing to be offended.

Now this young woman
is who I'm looking for.

Maybe you've seen her around town?

She might have been with a
charming young man named Chip.

Hmm?

She has a mop of brown, curly hair.

And we're very worried about both of them.

Wait, you're here looking for her?

She was just in here looking for you.

What? When? Where?

Like, two New York minutes ago.

- Where?
- Over there. Right there.

[FAINT POP MUSIC PLAYING]

You guys, can we go back and get ice cream?

[GASPS] Richard, it's the Dory girl.

Oh, my God, she's
here. sh*t, I need my car.

Go get her!

Do you guys think maybe we
should just go to the police

and ask them if they know who
the older redhead lady is?

Yeah, and if they don't know anything,

we can just drive around town all day.

It's so small.

I mean, it took us two seconds

to drive around the whole big toe.

Shut up, shut up! Red hair, white streak!

- Red hair, white streak!
- Drew, follow her!

- Go, go, go!
- Okay, okay, okay.

The Dory girl is with a group of people.

If I follow her, she may lead us to Chip.

I'm not running,
because I don't wanna look suspicious.

And also, my doctor told me to stop running

when I'm wearing heels.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Careful, Drew. Don't spook her.

I'm stalking a woman.
I'm going one mile per hour.

Of course it's gonna look spooky.

- Just drive normal.
- If I drive normal,

I'm gonna pass her!

God, Drew! Well, then do something else

so it just, like, makes it seem normal.

What else could I be doing?
I'm driving the car.

Just pretend like you're
brushing your teeth.

- Do we have a toothbrush?
- Brush your teeth!

Why would I be brushing my teeth?

- Brush your teeth!

Hurry, hurry, hurry. All right.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,
stop, stop, cease, cease.
