[announcer on radio] It's another hot, sunny day today here in Southern California.
Yeah, I don't think you hear what I'm saying. You're fired.
I think that's what you're saying, but it's not what you mean. What you mean is...
-Really? -Yeah, the Van Beek. -Do you know it? -Mm-mm.
All the big swing bands used to play there. Count Basie, Chick Webb.
Anyway, it's a samba-tapas place now, so...
What's a samba-tapas place?
It's just a samba place where they serve tapas.
-Oh. -Yeah, so the joke's on... -History? -[laughs]
I don't know. That's LA. They just worship everything and they value nothing.
[man] We're about to roll. Stop, please, guys.
-You're rolling? -Yeah.
Yeah, I know. They shoot movies on my street all the time, so I know about movies.
I'm not dropping the chicken. You could maybe do it somewhere else.
-What are you talk... -Find a new spot.
It's gotta be the Van Beek. Well, it doesn't have to be the Van Beek.
I can't let them samba all over its history.
-[groans] -I can't do it. You can let them, but you refuse to.
Your play's incredible.
You know, the whole world from your bedroom.
What else do they want? Who's doing that?
-I'm doing that. -You're doing that.
Who was that guy at The Lighthouse?
The guy that offered you the gig? -Keith. -Yeah.
Why was it so weird between you two? It's always weird with him.
-Really? -Yeah.
But he seemed kind of nice 'cause he did offer you a job.
Are you gonna call him? No. No.
All right.
So... Here's what we know.
Yeah?
It's definitely "Chicken On A Stick,"
and your play is gonna be a triumph.
[Mia] It's a one-woman show, so it's just me... No, I mean, I'm acting in it, too.
You know?
I mean, I'm finally in something [stuttering] that people enjoy.
Since when do you care about being liked? Just 'cause I don't enjoy, it doesn't matter.
