I'm going to ask you one more time
0:05
Where were you during 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. I already told you
0:09
I was at Raphaelie's place. We watched a movie. We fooled around a little bit
0:14
We went to bed. You're lying. Stop lying. You were at the cottage when Meredith was murdered
0:20
No, I wasn't. Please. I just want to go home. Liar! Why did you murder Meredith
0:25
Your boyfriend already choned on you. I don't know why he would do that. I was with him the whole night
0:29
You're not going anywhere until... Okay, stop, stop, stop. That was terrible. What's wrong
0:34
I actually thought that was your best take. MC, I hate to throw a monkey wrench in things
0:39
but like my third favorite British game show, it's not me, it's you
0:43
When you signed on to be my reader for my self-tape for the untitled Amanda Knox true crime biomusical
0:48
you were agreeing to the highest of professional standards. You are not just a reader
0:52
You are a lifeline. You are a rock. You is kind. You is smart
0:57
You is important. And I can't help it if you're the only one. who came to my open call
1:01
Rachel, you posted a notice on backstage looking for a reader saying you were Annette Funnicello
1:06
I've been to Hawaii. Listen, I have to cook a frittata before tonight's liberals who look like
1:13
Republicans' progressive dinner party. Do you want to try another take? No, I'll just have O'Chune record it for me later
1:21
That reminds me, though. I am starving. Do you want anything? Besides reclaiming my dignity? No
1:30
Why? I've been using this new app called Eatable, and every time you order a meal, you get points
1:36
and then you exchange those points for prizes. I've never felt more proud to be an American
1:41
What kind of prizes? Well, I'm only five points away from a free bottle
1:45
of specially for kids' pediatric nutrition shake. I've been doing this for two weeks now
1:50
and I am in the zone. Rachel, it sounds to me like you're addicted
1:56
Addicted. Who's addicted? I've only ordered Typhoon. And four times a day, I'm perfectly fine
2:02
Rachel, just please be careful. Addiction is a disease. Sometimes I still shudder when I think back
2:08
on my crippling history with substance abuse. Hi, yes. I am going to get half a pound of the lamb kebabs
2:14
and a large number seven. Thank you. Okay, have a great day
2:18
Love you, kisses. Bye. Woo! I am Robinous. Let me just say how much of an honor it is to be here today
2:36
Sir Ian McKellen is one of my biggest heroes. Sir Ian McKellen is not one of my clients
2:43
I know, I'm just saying he's one of my biggest heroes. Anywho, thank you so much for having me today, Mrs. Riley
2:49
Please. Mrs. Riley is what you call my estranged aunt who once contracted rabies on a trip to Yellowstone
2:55
You call me, Maxine. Sorry, it's the whole high school thing. I really just can get used to not call me
2:59
calling my elders, Mr. and Mrs. or mom by accident. Regardless, Mr. Spatiman, here's the deal
3:05
I watched your real, and I must admit, even though 75% of it appear to be you weeping openly
3:12
to various episodes of This Is Us. I was intrigued, sir. Intrigued and impressed
3:18
Here's the deal, old pal, so... Austin. Right. I'm interested in representing you as a client
3:23
I think you have the three magic ingredients. Potential. I think you have potential to inspire..
3:28
to inspire many a Disney Channel wannabe star, perhaps some eager newsboys wearing checkered caps on a jaunty angle
3:37
and perhaps even a fair number of middle-aged, Talbot-like character actors. That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, Maxine
3:46
Now, where do I sign? Not so fast, pony boy. There is one caveat
3:55
In all my 85 years as a talent, agent, I have never once signed a single thespian who didn't have an equity card
4:05
But I don't have an equity card? I am an ornate minister, though
4:09
Who isn't, kids? Listen up. If you want to sign with me, you've got to prove yourself
4:16
And you've got to be legit. But the only way to get an equity card is by working 50 hours at a registered theater
4:22
My boy, there is another way. Follow this map. A single equity card, annual potential representation, are marked by an axe
4:58
Wait. All I need to do to get an equity card is just..
5:02
Find one. Man, why has no one told me this before? Because it's a perilous journey, my boy, the likes of which you have never seen
5:13
Now, if you want this, you've got to prove your medal. You've got to prove to me your desire
5:18
Most normal work-a-day Joe's would rather do three regional productions of Fiddler
5:22
if we're embarking on a quest they're dangerous. And those shmactors, Mr. Sparlyman, are not my clients
5:28
Now I must warn you You may never come back from us
5:39
Please. I've been to Black Tap. I think I know my way around this city
5:45
Don't go too far. I'll be right back, Mom. Maxine! You can call me, Mom
5:55
Many have. have. Oh, God, it was you
6:13
I was hoping when I knocked on this door again that maybe I was hallucinating
6:17
and I was actually knocking on a door on Central Park West or someplace where they actually tip, but..
6:21
But nope, you're at a white girl's apartment in Harlem. Now, where's the grub
6:25
Here's your Chinese. And here's your prize. A nutrition shake for children
6:35
Thanks, Vince. Always a pleasure. Later. Rachel, listen. I usually try not to get involved in the personal lives of my clients, but this is your third order today
6:48
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's 10 a.m. Yeah, but it's like midnight right now in Australia, and by that clock I haven't eaten at all today, Vince
6:57
Rachel, when I first started delivering to you, you didn't know my name
7:02
And I'm awful at names, so that's really a win. When I first started, your apartment smelled like apples
7:08
and now it smells like open tins of takeout. That's my new air freshener
7:17
Oh. Rachel, I'm not just saying this because our headquarters are in Brooklyn
7:24
and I'm the only delivery boy who has the patients to come over here
7:27
I'm saying this because for some odd reason, I care about you
7:32
and I really think you need help. But I'm so close to getting enough points for a free tube of Honecker wrapping paper
7:39
I will give you a free tube, Rachel. It's not the same
7:45
I'm not addicted, Vince. I can quit whenever I want. And then, there's a little girl who's drunk on a victim
7:52
I mean, I haven't even experienced a musical montage where I'm essentially ordered takeout yet
7:57
Rachel, you're addicted
8:27
All right, Austin, you're gonna live forever. You're gonna learn how to fly. Hi
8:38
All you need to do is just to figure out this map. Can't be too
8:43
My, how uneasy I feel. Rachel! Rachel
8:57
I have a nice homemade meatloaf for you. Okay, well, I didn't make it, but the ladies at the food pantry weren't even looking
9:10
Rachel? Rachel? Rachel, I have a beautifully nutritious meal, which I plan on being the first of many
9:22
Oh, ha, I'msy. What is going on in here? Are you trying to hobble this man
9:27
Oh my god, no! I was just showing him my Kathy Bates impression
9:31
until I was so rudely interrupted. This is true. But I am holding him hostage
9:36
until he agrees to start delivering to me again. This is also true
9:40
Rachel, holding people hostage is wrong. Oh, please. The only thing wrong is that smell
9:45
What is that? Meatloaf. Oh, my God. Where are my mirrors? O'Toole, MC made you dinner
9:55
Rachel, someone in here needs a serious talk. to. The slotted spoon can catch the potato
10:16
The greater the good, the hard of the blow. Wait, were we supposed to have these prepared
10:23
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Good day, little boy
10:35
Good day, Mrs. Chicago girl. Where are you off to, so? Hurriedly
10:40
To the actor's equity headquarters. And what might be there? An equity card
10:45
It's almost pilot season, and mother's special sign me if I'm able to retrieve one. Sorry, Maxine
10:51
And where might this equity headquarters be located? According to the map she gave me, it's just another quarter of a leap further into Midtown
11:00
Just past the TGI Fridays. And how does one receive this equity card The mother says all I need to do is just follow this path and then uh we give it to me
11:12
Sorry, uh, vaccine. Why do I keep doing that? Intriguing. You know, an equity card sure can change someone's life
11:21
Yeah, I know. That's why I'm doing this. Sure can promote a girl from pamphlet holder to swing, perhaps
11:32
Yeah, perhaps. Listen, how about I just take one of these and I hear Josh Peck is the new Billy Flynn and would want to miss that, so..
11:47
Good day, Mrs. Chicago girl. Good day. Little boy. Okay
12:17
All right. This way. A little more. Just a little bit more
12:25
Are you ready for your life to change? You bet. I can't believe Eatable chose me to be their new spokesperson
12:31
and just a few hours after they canceled my membership. This has been a whirlwind of a day
12:35
And as Darren Chris once told me, it gets better. Okay, sit down
12:41
Ooh, a little bit too. All right. Now, open your eyes. Oh, wow
12:50
Who'd have thought that all the most important extras in my life are also execs at eatable
12:54
Oh, we're not executives, honey. No, this is an intervention. I've always wanted to be a presenter of Broadway con
13:01
No, no, not a convention, Rachel, an intervention. Unfortunately, that's true, honey
13:09
My name is Heather, and I am a life coach. Your friend over here called us all and brought us up here
13:15
and asked me to lead the charge. You know, I had an opening after my 4.30 got mad cow disease
13:22
Did you know that was still a thing? So, here I am
13:27
To rid you of that devil within this app. Marie Claire, I told you I wasn't addicted
13:32
Rachel, we all really care about... Shut up, Ava Madison. I thought you got ridden off last week
13:39
It's all right, sugar. I, too, have struggled with addiction in my past
13:44
You know, back in my day, I was a concubine to a very satanic little drink
13:50
Hell, if I even saw it, it would trigger me. But it worked, and I prayed
13:57
And most importantly, I sang. Hit it, Tasty Cake. It's a long road to recovery, as everybody knows
14:18
And that goes for bros in tennis shorts to friendly eskimos. Yes, we've all got our demons who destroy us ounce by ounce
14:28
So there's 12 steps to redemption, but just one step that counts
14:35
Knock it off, Rachel, cut the crap. Your face is deep in Satan's laugh, but no, it's all the red man's trap
14:44
So stand and walk away. When hell's reserved a spot for you, say Satan, baby, I'm a true
14:53
And hell is not a game that my folks play. At least that's what my neighbor Mort would say
15:04
Because when you've got step number one, you're gonna be okay. Yeah. Yeah
15:14
Yeah. Quick
15:25
What floor is Actors' Equity? Oh, God. I'm actually just filling in for a friend who's out with mad cow disease
15:32
Did you know, that's still a thing? Let me check. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
15:40
Oh, wait, no, this is Binder L through Z. One second. Hooked on a book on a TV show like Guiding Light or Daddy-o
15:52
Are those still on? How should I know? Hell, I don't watch TV
15:58
Is this a good inequity? No, this is Mommy and Me kickboxing? Ah! Ah
16:08
Get hooked on kindness or on home, or crack cocaine or even dope
16:17
or choking yourself with a rope. Red leather, leather, red leather, get old, red leather
16:24
Is this actor's equity? It could be. But eatables more treatable so look in the mirror and set that girl free Okay Is this a Stagatra Indeed No not you guys
16:47
See that it go! The sun is out, so say hello, and taste it's in candace and glow
16:55
Girl, you could use a tent. Yeah. With them with friends to hold your hand
17:00
you'll make it to the promised land. And now I'll rip, and just because I'll..
17:33
When you've got step number one, you're gonna be okay. Yeah, Rachel
17:54
Thank you so much. You are all so right. Food delivery apps are the devil
18:01
And I may not know any of your names. but you have all saved my life, and much more importantly, my waistline
18:08
Anytime, Pudin'pop. Now who's paying? I'm here in my equity cards. Spatterman
18:15
Raiter? You made it! Well, here you go, Ziggy! Wait, this is actually Actors' Equity? Why is it just an empty room with chairs
18:31
Oh, Actors' Equity is just a minute. Yeah, that there is just an index card with some Sharpie on it
18:38
Aren't you a motivational speaker? Motivational speaking pays the bills, but fulfilling young performers dreams of becoming actors, equity members is my passion
18:49
You know, I'm just a freelancer now, but I hope to make equity card distribution a full-time job in the very near future
18:57
That's a job? Honey, have you ever seen The Bachelor? Aspiring dolphin trainers a job
19:03
I'm here, my everything! Looking for this. I guess you could say I could do it alone. Hachah
19:12
Do you get it? It's a Chicago reference. You win this round, little boy
19:23
But I'll be back. On another note, everyone comes to Chicago featuring Pete Dittie's Billy Flynn
19:31
Uh, I thought it was Josh P. I thought it was Josh Pack. These stunt cats change every hour
19:37
So long. What are you? What are you? Well, isn't this great
19:50
Spatterman got his equity card. Mm-hmm. And Rachel is cured of her crippling addiction
19:56
Mm-hmm. I just don't you guys love when everything works out? I'm happy for you. Spatterman
20:03
Oh, thank you so much. But I'm happier for myself! I have rid myself of the eatable app and the only thing I have to show for it is this bottle, especially for KidsPedia Show Nutrition Shake
20:12
Is that? Is it what? Give me that shake! Oh, is that the drink
20:17
I've missed you, sweet master. We should go. Get out! Yeah, we should go
20:25
Back it up, back it up, back it up, back it up, back it up, back it up, back it up, back it up, go. Excerism! Oh
20:32
Hello. Hello. I'm here to audition for the ad. My name's Rachel Ravelle
20:54
Actress, singer, and newly sober, dog whisperer. Amazing. If you want to just take a look at the side, that'd be amazing
21:01
That'd be amazing. Of course. Thank you so much for your support during this trying time
21:06
It's just so great to be back up. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No
21:18
No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. Run. No! No
21:41
