The TV Set
All right.
You're gonna park in A-106.
- Okay.
- So at the stop sign, make a right.
Another right at the panda.
It's on your left.
Okay. Thank you.
Tell me about it.
Remember Coach Roberts;
I have this recurring dream
about the guy.
and I have dentures.
Except I'm in my high school
gym class.
Everybody's the regular high school age.
I'm the only one who's ninety.
I'm going...
"Dad, get off my back.
I'm friggin' ninety, okay;"
Coach is yelling at me
and I'm going, "Give me a break".
Give me a break! Give me a break!
Give me a break!
"Give me a break!
I'm friggin' ninety!"
- Hi.
- Name;
Zach Harper.
- ID;
- Oh, yeah. Sorry.
This is my first
network session.
I'm kinda nervous.
"Give me a break!" What is with that
line; Give me a break. "Give me a break. "
"Give me a break.
I'm friggin' ninety years old!"
"I'm friggin' ninety years old,
okay homes;"
No, don't improvise.
They hate that.
"I'm friggin' ninety years old,
okay;"
Yeah, touch the hair.
Grab the hair.
"Okay;"
This is kinda counterintuitive,
you know;
to bring two guys...
when you know there's only one
that's right for the part.
You have to bring in another guy,
otherwise, they resent it.
Yeah, I know and I'm doing it...
But you know, maybe I should just
- I wouldn't.
- Why not;
Because I think they'd resent it.
They wanna feel like
the decision is theirs...
and at the end of the day it is.
But they're not stupid.
Richard, especially, has great taste.
That's why we brought
the project here.
If TJ is the guy,
they'll clearly see it.
What do you mean "if"; I thought
you said you agreed with me.
I do. I think TJ's great.
a little too hip for the room.
Too hip for the room; What does that
mean; Where did you learn that;
- In Manager School.
- What does that mean; Like too Jewish;
I think TJ's great.
I think Zach is good, too.
Zach is not even
in the same universe as TJ.
Zach would have to apply
for a visa...
- Zach! My man!
- What's up, man;
- How are you;
- Hi. Alice. We met...
- Yes.
- Oh, Alice, my manager.
- You met yesterday at the studio session;
- Yes. Nice to see you again.
- You, too. Again.
- Right, right.
- I'm nervous.
- Just try to relax, man.
- You'll be great.
- Thanks.
I don't know, any last thoughts
for me before we go in there;
Just try to keep it simple.
You know;
- Simple;
- Yeah. That's the main thing.
You don't have to do a lot
to get your thing across.
Totally.
- You understand what I'm saying;
- Yeah. Totally. Simple;
Okay. Thanks, Mike.
- All right.
- Thank you.
Yeah, it's such a great part...
I feel like I really get the guy,
you know;
- We'll see you in there.
- See you.
- Okay.
- Bye, guys. See you soon.
- This is so fucked.
- He's a sweet kid.
- Yes! That's why this is so fucked.
- I know.
Don't worry,
everything's gonna be okay.
Is your back acting up again;
- A little bit.
- You should try yoga.
You know what I'm gonna do;
He sets the standard.
And then I bring Zach in.
Now they're comparing him to TJ.
Clearly not as good.
- They go for TJ.
- Totally.
- Could we get Lucy Lawless;
- You mean...
Zena the Warrior Princess.
I love her.
Thanks, Jen.
I'm not terribly familiar
with her work.
this character as herself...
and she imagines someone a little less
conspicuously glamorous.
Who does she want;
She was thinking more of
a Hope Davis.
