You're the smartass
Duplass Brothers, aren't you?
How does the work break down?
What do you do?
All of our filming
happens right on the set.
-Very organic, in the moment,
like a therapy session.
Right.
We're improvising,
we're trying things,
we're getting upset and nervous
'cause it's not working.
We have a breakthrough.
"Holy sh*t!
This is so exciting!
It wasn't even in the script.
Let's go get it."
You know,
it's like the best version
in this moment,
Right.
with the people we got
and where we're at.
We know what the scene
is supposed to be,
so let's just, like, see
what happens.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi, I'm Naima,
I'm playing Natalie.
-How are you doing?
-Hello, good. How are you?
-Good. Welcome to set.
-Thank you.
Mark and Jay wanted
to talk to you before...
Yes, of course.
I wanna talk to them.
-Oh, thank you.
-Read this.
-And you don't get anything.
-Yeah.
I feel like all dentists
are like that.
-Hi, guys. Hi. Sorry.
-Hey.
-Hey. Jay. Nice to meet you.
-How are you?
Naima. "Nima,"
if you can call me that.
Naima, thank you
for being here.
We loved your tape,
it was awesome.
Oh, thanks. I'm so glad.
I'm such a big fan
of you guys. I'm...
Yeah, I'm just honored
to be here.
We're huge fan of yours.
How's life? What's going on?
You know, I've been up
all night, just kinda...
getting ready for this.
-Oh, boy.
-Yeah.
-We're kind of like--
- We're pretty easy
about everything.
We can totally get something.
-Hey.
-Oh, hello, geniuses.
Hi, sweetheart.
These guys are
Lindsay and Kamal.
-Kamal.
-Naima. You can call me Nima.
-Hey. Lindsay.
-Nima.
Uh, welcome to the set.
So we were talking
and doing the scene yesterday.
-It just felt a little...
It was different.
-Yeah.
It was f***in'
incredible.
with the onion rings,
don't you think?
-I know it's just like a prop--
-Onion rings?
onion rings in the scene.
It was kind of
specifically noted.
-Oh.
-I don't even remember.
I think we just learned
maybe the onion rings
aren't that important.
-Right, yeah.
This is the first time in life
that onion rings
aren't important.
-Right.
Yeah, yeah.
There were a number of people
who wanted to talk to you.
Nobody wanted to talk to me.
Yes, they did.
And I think
there were, you know,
a lot of different things
going on tonight.
Tell me one...
What was the most...
Who was the cutest guy?
Okay. I know before we had
the whole thing,
where I was like,
you were pumped
that they went to the gay club.
It was a first time thing,
but, clearly,
things have changed,
and maybe less about
the onion rings?
Yeah.
I think the thing
to remember is that
Kamal is crushed
when he comes in,
and you need to respond
organically to that energy
and let go of the old version
of the scene.
I thought that...
all it took was me
to know I was gay,
and then I'd be gay.
But I don't know how
to talk to anyone. I don't--
Are you gay?
-Yeah.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, let's pause
for a second, guys.
-We're gonna pause real quick.
-We're gonna just come in
real quick.
Still rolling. Still rolling.
Well, just, while, like...
Um...
- Lindsay.
-Yeah, when Lindsay
if she makes it more clear...
-Right.
-...that she's hitting on him.
Your soulmate is coming undone
and you're here for him.
-Yes.
-Yeah, right?
And the more you can just be
an empathetic, open human being
that is receiving emotion,
that's all we need.
- He's in a great spot,
so once...
- Okay, okay.
Everybody good?
Let's get quiet on the set.
And, Naima,
you're just chilling.
How many have you put down?
I don't know,
but it is double figures.
Yeah!
Onion rings
without the onion
in the middle.
That's the worst part.
The onion is where
all the calories are, by the
way.
Hi. How's it going?
Hey, what's up?
Is it okay if I join you guys?
Yeah. Of course, yeah.
Ah.
Sorry it was a little
intense in there.
-No.
-Yeah.
I mean, it's just...
It's hard to get everyone
on the same page, you know?
Especially when it feels
like a little forced.
Mm-hmm.
I really feel like
with Kamal and, uh...
-Lindsay.
-Lindsay, right.
It's just that we have
I think.
We could, you know...
That's...
and stuff like that.
I mean, at the end
of the day, you know,
we're happy with what
they're giving us,
-and it works for us.
-You are? Okay.
I mean,
all I can say is,
Jay and I were part
of a writers room one time,
and we got some notes
on our scripts,
and we went in and...
we told our showrunner
for an hour why he was wrong,
and why everything
he was telling us was idiotic.
And it didn't really
go well for us.
And we now realize
that we were probably being
a little defensive
and a little scared,
and that's okay.
I mean, we've kind of realized
that a lot of times
when you feel scared
or whatever,
the precipice of, like,
an emotional breakthrough.
Yeah, I'm not...
I feel good.
I feel okay,
um, about it.
I had never been
on a set like that,
'cause, like, on commercials,
it's not like that.
But, like, the way
that Mark and Jay work,
it was like very...
