Okay.

[laughing]

- Oh, wow.

- Take it easy. Okay.

- You had a little fall there.

- Yeah.

You're good.

- Because he's the good one.

- Alright.

- I think we got it.

- You're the good one.

- Uh-huh.

- You can't hear enough of it.

You're the good one.

[chuckles]

- You're good too. Sometimes.

- Aww, I'm okay.

- You wanna sit down?

- I don't wanna sit down.

That's a bad idea.

- You wanna lie down?

- I wanna... pee.

I just wanna pee

and then it's fine.

- I'm gonna go pee.

- You need a hand with that?

I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- You okay, buddy?

- I'm... I'm... I'm okay.

Yeah?

Then, they..

That's..

It's good.

Someone's gonna carry him

home tonight.

You okay, man?

Chris, what are you doing?

Chris!

Stop it.

Jesus! Are you..

- Get outta here!

- Damn it!

What are you doing?

- Oh, sh*t.

- Mom!

Okay, I'm going!

- I am sorry to you.

- Sit down.

- I'm so sorry.

- Whoa!

I... I'm...

Uh, it was like

a dog food commercial.

Oh, no.

It was

a dog food commercial

and, um, I was a..

- Wet or dry?

- Um..

Didn't get that far. That

was in the callback.

- You didn't get that far?

- Yeah, they had, like, plastic dog food.

And I was, like,

a dog owner

and I was supposed

to be with my dog, like

"You like it? I like it."

And, um, it was

so humiliating, right?

'Cause it was, like,

plastic dog food.

- Yeah.

- Was there a real dog?

No. It was a f***ing

shaggy puppet dog.

And I went.. I slumped over visibly.

I was just like..

[sighs]

And he put his hand on my

shoulder and he was like

"I know, man. I know."

- Oh, man, Chris.

- And then, that's it. That was..

Were you supposed to make a

face, like, you didn't like it?

- Or you liked it?

- No, you were supposed to like it.

It was, like, "Can you give me one where

you just really love this stuff?"

I don't understand

this commercial.

- Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

- The commercial is...

Yeah, it's their fault.

They're a bunch of idiots.

I came in

as a true artist.

It sounds like it's actually a

snack for dogs and, and humans.

I read the proposal, but for the

benefit of my colleagues here

can you explain, um, how you

see it as a hybrid of memoir

and, and history

of Shepard Stuyvesant?

Uh, well, it intersperses chapters

that are taken from my own life.

Yet I think, there's also a historical

and critical element that, um..

...that really, I think, kinda

marries itself to the memoir section

in a way that's unique and I

think will speak to readers.

Do you think

it will upset..

[elevator dings]

- They're all their life?

- I think so.

And I think that I'm trying

to speak to that line.

You're.. Are you

straddling that line?
