Because you are all out of

soya vanilla. They say "soya."

What's up, Carol? What do you want?

I got a lot of things to do.

All right. Fine, fine. I'm gonna

try the soft sell on this,

but you know that's really,

really hard for me.

Sister code, Dani. I really

need that Pouncer guy,

the Irish good-looking guy.

I need his accent

for my archives

because, really, it's one of the

accents that I struggle with.

- Really, Dani.

- No, no. No, Carol.

The news clips that I have,

they're too regional.

And in order to really

master a dialect,

you need to have these vowels.

Dani, come on!

- Fine. - You're just...

Did you say fine?

Yeah.

Great!

Oh, so, there's one

issue, though.

What?

Your manager has, like, a fake

restraining order on me or something

because the Bulgarian guy that I followed

out last time happened to be a diplomat.

I didn't know about it. It was a

thing... Wouldn't have done it.

God damn it, Carol!

Hindsight was 20-20.

What? What do you want?

What do you need?

Okay. So sister code. It's super

easy. All you have to do is...

I'm gonna drop off my

little interview questions

and the recorder and you

just press "Record."

Ask the questions. The

guy answers it. Done.

Sister code. Done deal.

Sister code.

What is this "sister code" thing

that you're doing right now?

What? Sister code?

"What? Sister code?"

Yeah, it's a new thing. I

was just trying it out.

Do you like it?

I don't know. I don't

really like it.

What? Ping-pong it a little bit.

Like I say, "Sister," you say...

I'm not saying it.

I won't push my luck. But you'll

do the interview questions?

Look, I'm going to do it.

Okay? I'm doing it.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

I love you. Sister code.

No.

Okay. Bye.

How did Mission Ireland go?

Yeah. Really good.

I'm gonna drop off the equipment

now. I can't believe she said yes.

Yeah, me neither. She could

lose her job if she's caught.

Oh, my God, you're so dramatic.

Yello.

- You booked that gig!

- What gig?

Welcome to the Jungle Gym.

Who did?

You did! The studio heard

the temp recording you did

and they want your voice

on the trailer, Carol.

But I'm a chick.

Yeah, I know. I'm

acutely aware of that.

The studio said they feel that

it's a "modern, quirky" choice.

- A what? - And that you're

perfect for the genre.

Children's romantic

comedy is a genre now?

Who cares? You just took a job,

a huge job from Gustav Warner.

I did?

Yeah. You just served up

a can of warning soup

to the Warn-dog himself!

I say next up, lemon

drop shots on me.

Are you excited or

trying to fart?

Hello? Carol?

Okay. All right. All right, then.

All right, let's get those shots.

All right, okay. I'll see you
