It's an easy sauce.

And the foolproof way to get

a perfect consistency,

is to have the sauce like this when

you add the butter. And you know,

it sounds like a small thing, but

it's actually a really big deal.

-It uses an extra pot, but...

- God!

- This cautionary measure

may be seen to be necessary.

It's a lot like the souffle

we made on our last show.

It sounds intimidating, but once you get

the basics down, it's really simple,

and people will enjoy it.

So, let's get going.

First, we'll need

a few ingredients.

Prepare flour, heated milk,

and salt and pepper.

And that's it! That's your

bechamel sauce.

I know it's a really fancy name

for something really simple.

Gina:
And finally, I just

wanted to share a few images

from a series involving women

performing private

stereotypically female, uh,

domestic acts on the streets

of New York.

My work is always engaged with the

idea of gender performativity.

And here, specifically,

I'm looking to Cindy Sherman,

Nan Goldin and Lorna Simpson who

also interrogate social categories.

This series was shown last

year at the ICP triennial.

So that's... that's it.

And I... I just really wanted

to say, again,

how excited I am to be joining

this community of...

Well, fine minds.

Mack:
Hey!

Hi! It went great!

That's awesome, baby!

Congratulations!

Yeah, I mean,

they really liked it

and I met a few people.

See? You focus on the present

tense, good things happen.

- I'm proud of you.

- Thank you, sweetie. Bye.

Woman:
It's supposed to be

really nice.

Oh, my god, look! No glasses!

Oh, my god!

You actually look really, really

good without your glasses.

- Thanks! -But I mean,

I like them on too.

Just make sure you don't wear them

to Julie's end-of-the-summer party.

Um, okay.

- What're you gonna wear?

- I don't know.

Not your lion's t-shirt,

I hope.

You need to make those pajamas.

Both:
Make those pajamas!

Can I help you find something?

No, just browsing.

Browse away!

You know, actually, yes.

Contemporary fiction.

- It's right this way.

- Okay.

Are you looking for something

in particular?

No, just...

Just...

Actually, tenor sax.

Tenor sax?

By Marcus burns.

Definitely have never heard

of it.

- Okay. Thank you.

- But...

I can order it.

- No, that's okay. Thank you, though.

- Sure!

Group:
Missionaries!

Missionaries! We're on top!

Ambrosia,

your mom's on the phone.

Oh. Thank you, Mr. Hansen.

Julie:
Well?

That was good.

You know 2-bit

used to be a ho?

Yeah, I knew... I knew that.

She's rich now, I guess.

- Oh, my god!

- What happened?

I can't believe it!

She asked what we were doing, and I told

her that we were practicing our routine!
