RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (2010–…): Season 13, Episode 14 - Gettin' Lucky - full transcript
After performing in the season's last challenge, the queens react to seeing their baby photos and addressing their younger selves, and Rose and Symone receive messages of support from home.
This is not
RuPaul's Best Friend Race.
I feel very attacked!
Ooh, yes.
Well, we made it.
I have had everybody in this
goddamn place coming for me.
This isUntucked,
backstage at the competition
to become America's
next drag superstar.
Girl, if you're not
watchingUntucked,
you're only getting
half the story.
Break on the main stage.
All cameras re-po.
Thank you, queens.
I think we've heard enough.
While you untuck
in the werkroom,
the judges and I
will deliberate.
You may leave the stage.
I'm living my dream.
It has been a long journey,
honey, to get here,
and I made that shit happen.
I have earned my spot here,
and I wanna make it right
on into that grand finale.
I fucking killed it.
In my mind, there's no way
that I'm not going through
to the grand finale.
But you never know.
Anything can happen
in this competition.
Get all cameras up.
Copy that. Here we go.
Whoo-whoo.
- Oh, my goodness.
- My, my, my.
What a gorgeous day.
Literally the most gorgeous.
Yeah, well, it's not
that damn gorgeous.
Hey, baby.
While you girls
sit in those gowns,
I'm just gonna undo a little.
Oh, I'm so jealous.
Ooh.
Oh, must be nice.
That went by much better
than I thought it was gonna go.
Yeah.
We all got so much love,
and we all answered the fuck
out of those questions.
There wasn't, like,
a fucking bum answer out there.
It was all really,
like, personal
and, like, lovely.
Once those fucking
baby photos came out...
- I was out.
- Here we go.
Because I'm about
to lose it up here.
No, girl,
she pulled that photo out,
and I was, like, not me first.
I was, like, oh, my God,
I'm not ready.
I don't know what to do.
And I was, like...
- You were so cute,
- I was, like, Kade.
You were so cute.
You were so cute, and your
answer was really cute, too.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
I cry every single time.
No matter whose it is,
I don't care what season it is,
I cry every time.
That shit can get my ass.
You know, when the baby photo
came up on stage,
it just brought back
a lot of memories
of how unhappy I used to be.
And how growing up as a child,
if I would have know
where I was gonna be at 25,
I would have done things
so different.
But I am here at 25
because the way life
has played out.
And, damn, I've been through
some shit.
I've been drug
through the fucking mud.
Before I can sit up here.
And that's why the line
"hood to Hollywood"
is 100% me.
Yes.
But you were going through
on the stage, Miss Thing.
I don't know. It's just,
like, all of these moments
coming together
like you made it here
on this stage,
and then think about
how hard I was on myself
coming into this competition
and how hard I've been
on myself my entire life.
I wouldn't necessarily
change it.
It got me here,
and thinking about all that
and my journey here,
it's just emotional for me.
I'm just so proud of myself,
and I'm proud of all of us.
We did a fucking fabulous job
under unheard of circumstances.
- Yes.
- So it's just crazy.
And thinking about the kid
I was back in Conway
and the queen that I am now,
it's a beautiful thing.
It's just beautiful,
and it just makes me cry.
- You are a beautiful thing.
- Thank you.
Speaking of crying...
RuPaul.
RuPaul. Miss RuPaul.
Miss Ru-tall, Miss Ru, Mother Ru
got so emotional this week.
Yeah, I love that.
I loved it so much,
I can't even fathom it.
Girl, if I was not on
the amount of testosterone
I'd be sobbing, like...
But...
But, yeah, it's really amazing
because when she talks to me,
I just really feel like
she gets what I'm saying.
I just feel her support
from, like,
the bottom of her heart for me,
and it is just so magical
and it's everything
I've always hoped for.
All this is pretty new
for me, too.
My journey is really recent,
and just having it from you guys
is already amazing,
and then having Ru
just support me
and see my art for it is
is just...
it's just mind blowing.
My journey with my parents,
too, she mentioned.
That's what got her.
My parents did have a hard time.
They weren't raised
to understand that.
I feel like "trans" was not
even in their vocabulary.
And so at the time, it just felt
like the end of the world.
Being here, I realize that
it's my responsibility as well
to educate them,
and it took me
literally 21 years
to figure it out
and understand it myself,
and I was living it.
So the fact that I expected them
to just snap instantly
is so unfair.
And, you know, and they've shown
that they love me so much
and support everything I do
really fast.
- Werk.
- So I'm really proud of them
and I'm glad RuPaul sees it all.
And it is fab that you're
the first trans man on the show.
Just because us three,
we came from
the winner's circle,
with the hashtag.
But you were sent
to the porkchop loading dock,
but you're sitting here
in the top four, bitch.
There was never a doubt
in my mind that I would be here.
Mm-hmm.
I'm really proud to be
the only person from that group,
but I'm also not surprised,
because I always had
my eye set on this.
And also, it's important
because it shows ♪ that
you might have an off day ♪
♪ Hey, hey ♪
- Everybody has off days.
- And you've gotta get up.
And I love what you said
about, you know,
like, just keeping on
fucking getting up,
because seriously, like,
that's what life's all about.
I'm so happy that
I was able to do that here,
and that I'm fucking
sitting on these couches.
Oh, same.
With you bitches.
Tea.
I will say my breaking point,
where I realized I needed to,
like, get my shit together
and really put my head
in the competition
truly was the time
where me and Tamisha had the
altercation here in Untucked.
And that's why from that moment
when I went outside to cool off,
it was me telling myself,
bitch, you worked
really hard to get here.
Shut the fuck up,
pay attention,
worry about yourself.
And then from that point,
me and Tamisha were in
the bottom the week after.
I said, okay, I need
to not worry about
this little hee-hee,
ha-ha drama bull shit.
I need to really put myself
in the competition and focus.
And then the following week,
I was in the top with Symone.
And it just shows, like,
we're all gonna have bad days.
That day on Untucked,
I mean, y'all saw me,
I was going,
"Don't call me arrogant!"
And then that truly
was the breaking point,
and it really was in reality
a blessing in disguise.
Because, baby, here I am
in the top four.
Yeah.
Y'all, I keep thinking,
obviously,
just, like, every week,
we have a lip sync song
that we have to prepare, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- And, like, last year
there was a bottom two
lip sync to get to the top.
I can't see three and not four.
All day today
we've been worried,
because we could face
an elimination,
and that fucking sucks,
because we love this top four.
You know, every single season
is different.
It's so crazy
to think that, like,
either all four of us
go the grand finale,
or maybe three
go to the grand finale.
One of us could sashay away.
Maybe two of us
could sashay away.
Bitch, I don't fucking know.
Maybe Elliott With 2 Ts
is gonna come back
and vote one of us out.
You never know.
It could be the end of the road.
That's a crazy possibility
to think about.
There's been many gags.
We don't know shit.
Even if you don't have
a blood relative family
that is not your support system,
your chosen family
is very important.
My chosen family,
I don't even know
if I'd be here without them.
Girl.
Girl.
It'll be so hard for
not only us, but the judges,
because we all
fucking delivered.
And when it comes down to it,
we are going to deliver once
we have to go back up there.
I don't see the judges
making the decision,
but you just never know.
They could say, like,
you know what?
You've came to your end.
Mm-hmm, we just don't
see it for you, my love.
Can you imagine, after all this?
- Oh, it would be awful.
- Hey, Ross.
It's your wee brother Lou.
Aah!
I'm so excited for you.
I just know you're killing it.
I'm so proud.
The whole family is.
Beth and I are the proudest
siblings in the world right now,
and there's no doubt in my mind
that Mom and Dad
are the proudest parents
in the universe.
We know how hard
you've worked for this
and how much
you truly do deserve this.
And I do remember
about five, six years ago
watching RuPaul's Drag Race,
you told me that not only
could you do this,
but that
you would do this one day.
And, well, here we are,
and that's a whole
'nother thing, baby.
You are one of the most talented
people I've ever met in my life.
You are my big brother.
You are my hero.
It's your strength
in the face of adversity
which I admire most.
Your entire existence has been
a nonstop war to be yourself,
and there's not one battle
that you've lost,
because you are
one of the strongest people
in the universe.
We love you.
Go out there and kill it.
- Good luck.
- Oh!
- Aah!
- Oh, my God!
Can I just say
how beautiful it is
to see you cry right now?
I don't think I've seen you cry
all fucking season long.
Wow. That was, um...
That was really nice to see.
I love my little brother
Louis so much.
My brother has the most
wonderful things
to say about me.
It gives me a really big boost.
So whatever comes next,
I'm ready for that.
What's it like
to have that kind of support?
Yeah, your family
sounds so supportive.
Look, I am so privileged
with what I was born with.
So much love.
My family, like, they've always
been with me no matter what.
And the only tumultuous time
I ever faced with them
was when I came out
because I was so confused.
And everything that
I've been through in my life
just being gay,
I couldn't imagine
what it's like to not have
that kind of support.
Yeah.
But the love that I have
inside me from my family always,
it's something that is so easily
transferable and teachable,
and I really feel
like it's a gift.
It's amazing that you have that
support system back at home.
And you know what?
There are a lot of queer youths,
a lot of Black
and Brown queer youth
that don't have that.
You have it, and you wanna
teach it to everyone else.
That's the best lesson
you can leave from here.
If you don't leave
with the crown,
you can leave
with knowing I can go around
and spread the love
that I have to everyone else.
- Right.
- Back at home,
I have my drag family,
and I have a really good
support system back at home.
And it is important that
even if you don't have
a blood relative family that
is not your support system,
your chosen family
is very important.
My chosen family,
I would not be the same person
I am today without them.
And I don't think...
I don't even know
if I'd be here without them.
- Same.
- My chosen family
has inspired my life to
a degree I cannot even explain.
I'd agree. Same thing with mine.
I wouldn't be the same
drag queen that I am.
But I have them, I have my
chosen family, I have my mom.
It's really strange, because I
put up a wall with my mom a lot,
because I just felt
like she didn't understand,
and I feel like I had
to go through some things.
But recently,
especially being here,
I forgot how much I miss her.
And I really
fucking miss my mom.
But she is my biggest supporter.
Before I came here,
she was, like,
you have a tendency
to doubt yourself.
You've always been in your head,
and that's the thing about you.
But you go there
and you show them
exactly who you are
and you stun.
And if they don't like it,
that's okay, because I love you.
And I was like, okay.
My dearest Symone.
It's Mom.
Aah!
Oh!
Girl.
Girl.
And I really
fucking miss my mom.
My dearest Symone.
It's Mom.
Aah!
Oh!
I was both excited and nervous
when I found out that
you were on Drag Race.
Oh, my God.
Excited because this
is what we've been working for.
Nervous because I'm not there.
And for so long,
it was just you and me,
my other hip, my ride or die.
I've always said
that you were special,
and you would say,
"Yeah, right, Mom.
You're supposed to say that.
You're my mom."
But I knew that you had a light
that the world
was supposed to see.
I'm most proud of you
for stepping out of your box,
kicking the door down,
and achieving things
only most of us dream about.
And I'm glad that you discovered
what I've always known.
I'm glad you can see you.
The first time
I saw you perform,
I couldn't believe that
my baby was Mary J. Blige.
And I remember
the courage it took
for you to come out to me at 14.
And I wanted you to know
that I loved you
and I will still love you.
I love you
like I love pecan pie,
and you know
I love me some pecan pie.
Aah!
I love you,
can't wait to talk to you,
and hear everything.
And I'm glad I didn't cry.
But I did, bitch!
What the hell?
I don't even know her
and I feel like I miss her.
Finally, I get a message
from somebody from back home,
and it's my mom!
I miss her so much.
Moving out here was hard,
because I had to leave my mom,
and we've been ride or dies.
She is my rock.
And so not to talk to her
for this long period of time
has been really hard.
This is a good day
for some of you.
She has always been
my biggest cheerleader.
And like I said before,
I kind of put up a wall with her
because I felt like
I had to grow on my own.
But I needed that,
and I needed
kind of the reminder
that I'm special for my mom.
And I'm... I don't know.
Girl.
Girl.
I needed kind of the reminder
that I'm special for my mom.
And I'm... I don't know.
I love her so much,
and a lot of times,
I feel like she's all I got.
But coming through this
competition, I learned I got me.
And I'm a fucking star.
No, I'm really excited for you,
just because I know you
kind of before this.
Not crazy, but you were
kind of always shy
in very social settings,
and now you have
come into your own so hard.
- Girl, you...
- What can't I do?
Nothing's gonna stop you, bitch!
- Nothing!
- 10 minutes, queens,
10 minutes.
Oh, my God!
I am very proud
to be at the tail end
of this competition.
Because in some way,
I didn't know if I could,
I didn't know if I would,
and I did.
I'm very proud
of my journey here.
No matter what happens,
I am grateful for this.
I'm proud, 1,000.
I wanna make it to the finale
so fucking badly.
It would mean the world to me
to be there.
I have fought
so hard for it here.
So if I have to lip sync,
I'm going to destroy
whoever is next to me.
It's the only option.
I'm so close
with most of these girls,
so just the thought
of anyone going home,
like, scares me a little bit.
But at the same time,
I have fought too hard
to be here,
and I have so much more
to fight for.
Baby, this is
RuPaul's Drag Race,
and you just never know.
This is a season of gags,
and I know RuPaul
has something up her sleeves.
So right now I'm focused on
getting Kandy Muse to the crown.
Thank you.
All right, queens, follow me.
Back to the main stage.
Here we go.
Our last time!
Oh!
No, I think I'm good.
Welcome back, queens.
I've made some decisions.
Rosé,
Gottmik,
Kandy Muse,
Symone,
I want to see you all
lip sync for your life.
Ladies, I've made my decision.
Shantay you all stay.
I feel beyond.
What a fucking journey.
Baby, I feel over the moon
right now.
I'm going into the finale,
and no one can take away
my happiness right now.
Oh, my God, you guys!
We're top four in the finale!
Oh, bitch, yes!
I'm going to the fucking finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race!
I'm fighting for me,
I'm fighting for my community.
I am going to take this crown.
Aah! Top four!
And now we're going
to the grand finale.
The grand... and now
the real competition is on
because one of us
is about to be...
...is about to win
the crown, honey.
America's next drag superstar!
Top four, Season 13.
I love y'all.
- I love you all so much!
- I love you all.
Oh, my goodness, and I'm ready
to just fucking go for it.
Feeling so proud of myself,
and how fucking amazing
I've done,
and how hard I've fought
this entire competition.
I am this close to being
America's next drag superstar.
Rosé.
What are you not
gonna miss about me?
Comparing pores in the mirror.
Baby, there's no comparison.
I won that one.
I'm not gonna miss
your lovely crusty nails.
I'm not gonna miss...
I'm not gonna miss
any of you, so fuck it.
Mm! Goodbye.
I love a bitch.
This is the hardest thing
I have ever done.
It is so important to me
that I took a huge risk
and challenged myself,
and I did the damn thing.
I get to be on the grand finale
and lip sync for my life
to get the fucking crown.
I could not be happier.
I've always dreamed
of doing this.
Wow. You excelled in cursive.
Oh, girl, this bitch?
Yeah!
Oh, my God, we just did
a mirror message.
Oh, my God, it's so fun!
A girl from Conway, Arkansas,
came to L.A. to become a star,
and she makes it into the grand
finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
That is a mother fucking tale,
and I am so excited
that it's happening for me.
Like, that's nuts. That's crazy.
"Miss Paul, see you
at the finale, bitch!
"#BestTop4Ever.
"#tsstsstss."
"Love, Season 13!"
- Yay!
- Okay, bye.
And that's a wrap, bitch.

RuPaul's Best Friend Race.
I feel very attacked!
Ooh, yes.
Well, we made it.
I have had everybody in this
goddamn place coming for me.
This isUntucked,
backstage at the competition

Girl, if you're not

Whoo-whoo.

Yeah, well, it's not
that damn gorgeous.
Hey, baby.
While you girls

I'm just gonna undo a little.

Ooh.

I need to really put myself
in the competition and focus.
And then the following week,
I was in the top with Symone.
And it just shows, like,
we're all gonna have bad days.
That day on Untucked,
I mean, y'all saw me,
I was going,
"Don't call me arrogant!"
And then that truly
was the breaking point,
and it really was in reality
a blessing in disguise.
Because, baby, here I am
in the top four.
Yeah.
Y'all, I keep thinking,
obviously,
just, like, every week,
we have a lip sync song
that we have to prepare, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- And, like, last year
there was a bottom two
lip sync to get to the top.
I can't see three and not four.
All day today
we've been worried,
because we could face
an elimination,
and that fucking sucks,
because we love this top four.
You know, every single season
is different.
It's so crazy
to think that, like,
either all four of us
go the grand finale,
or maybe three
go to the grand finale.
One of us could sashay away.
Maybe two of us
could sashay away.
Bitch, I don't fucking know.
Maybe Elliott With 2 Ts
is gonna come back
and vote one of us out.
You never know.
It could be the end of the road.
That's a crazy possibility
to think about.
There's been many gags.
We don't know shit.
Even if you don't have
a blood relative family
that is not your support system,
your chosen family
is very important.
My chosen family,
I don't even know
if I'd be here without them.
Girl.
Girl.
It'll be so hard for
not only us, but the judges,
because we all
fucking delivered.
And when it comes down to it,
we are going to deliver once
we have to go back up there.
I don't see the judges
making the decision,
but you just never know.
They could say, like,
you know what?
You've came to your end.
Mm-hmm, we just don't
see it for you, my love.
Can you imagine, after all this?
- Oh, it would be awful.
- Hey, Ross.
It's your wee brother Lou.
Aah!
I'm so excited for you.
I just know you're killing it.
I'm so proud.
The whole family is.
Beth and I are the proudest
siblings in the world right now,
and there's no doubt in my mind
that Mom and Dad
are the proudest parents
in the universe.
We know how hard
you've worked for this
and how much
you truly do deserve this.
And I do remember
about five, six years ago
watching RuPaul's Drag Race,
you told me that not only
could you do this,
but that
you would do this one day.
And, well, here we are,
and that's a whole
'nother thing, baby.
You are one of the most talented
people I've ever met in my life.
You are my big brother.
You are my hero.
It's your strength
in the face of adversity
which I admire most.
Your entire existence has been
a nonstop war to be yourself,
and there's not one battle
that you've lost,
because you are
one of the strongest people
in the universe.
We love you.
Go out there and kill it.
- Good luck.
- Oh!
- Aah!
- Oh, my God!
Can I just say
how beautiful it is
to see you cry right now?
I don't think I've seen you cry
all fucking season long.
Wow. That was, um...
That was really nice to see.
I love my little brother
Louis so much.
My brother has the most
wonderful things
to say about me.
It gives me a really big boost.
So whatever comes next,
I'm ready for that.
What's it like
to have that kind of support?
Yeah, your family
sounds so supportive.
Look, I am so privileged
with what I was born with.
So much love.
My family, like, they've always
been with me no matter what.
And the only tumultuous time
I ever faced with them
was when I came out
because I was so confused.
And everything that
I've been through in my life
just being gay,
I couldn't imagine
what it's like to not have
that kind of support.
Yeah.
But the love that I have
inside me from my family always,
it's something that is so easily
transferable and teachable,
and I really feel
like it's a gift.
It's amazing that you have that
support system back at home.
And you know what?
There are a lot of queer youths,
a lot of Black
and Brown queer youth
that don't have that.
You have it, and you wanna
teach it to everyone else.
That's the best lesson
you can leave from here.
If you don't leave
with the crown,
you can leave
with knowing I can go around
and spread the love
that I have to everyone else.
- Right.
- Back at home,
I have my drag family,
and I have a really good
support system back at home.
And it is important that
even if you don't have
a blood relative family that
is not your support system,
your chosen family
is very important.
My chosen family,
I would not be the same person
I am today without them.
And I don't think...
I don't even know
if I'd be here without them.
- Same.
- My chosen family
has inspired my life to
a degree I cannot even explain.
I'd agree. Same thing with mine.
I wouldn't be the same
drag queen that I am.
But I have them, I have my
chosen family, I have my mom.
It's really strange, because I
put up a wall with my mom a lot,
because I just felt
like she didn't understand,
and I feel like I had
to go through some things.
But recently,
especially being here,
I forgot how much I miss her.
And I really
fucking miss my mom.
But she is my biggest supporter.
Before I came here,
she was, like,
you have a tendency
to doubt yourself.
You've always been in your head,
and that's the thing about you.
But you go there
and you show them
exactly who you are
and you stun.
And if they don't like it,
that's okay, because I love you.
And I was like, okay.
My dearest Symone.
It's Mom.
Aah!
Oh!
Girl.
Girl.
And I really
fucking miss my mom.
My dearest Symone.
It's Mom.
Aah!
Oh!
I was both excited and nervous
when I found out that
you were on Drag Race.
Oh, my God.
Excited because this
is what we've been working for.
Nervous because I'm not there.
And for so long,
it was just you and me,
my other hip, my ride or die.
I've always said
that you were special,
and you would say,
"Yeah, right, Mom.
You're supposed to say that.
You're my mom."
But I knew that you had a light
that the world
was supposed to see.
I'm most proud of you
for stepping out of your box,
kicking the door down,
and achieving things
only most of us dream about.
And I'm glad that you discovered
what I've always known.
I'm glad you can see you.
The first time
I saw you perform,
I couldn't believe that
my baby was Mary J. Blige.
And I remember
the courage it took
for you to come out to me at 14.
And I wanted you to know
that I loved you
and I will still love you.
I love you
like I love pecan pie,
and you know
I love me some pecan pie.
Aah!
I love you,
can't wait to talk to you,
and hear everything.
And I'm glad I didn't cry.
But I did, bitch!
What the hell?
I don't even know her
and I feel like I miss her.
Finally, I get a message
from somebody from back home,
and it's my mom!
I miss her so much.
Moving out here was hard,
because I had to leave my mom,
and we've been ride or dies.
She is my rock.
And so not to talk to her
for this long period of time
has been really hard.
This is a good day
for some of you.
She has always been
my biggest cheerleader.
And like I said before,
I kind of put up a wall with her
because I felt like
I had to grow on my own.
But I needed that,
and I needed
kind of the reminder
that I'm special for my mom.
And I'm... I don't know.
Girl.
Girl.
I needed kind of the reminder
that I'm special for my mom.
And I'm... I don't know.
I love her so much,
and a lot of times,
I feel like she's all I got.
But coming through this
competition, I learned I got me.
And I'm a fucking star.
No, I'm really excited for you,
just because I know you
kind of before this.
Not crazy, but you were
kind of always shy
in very social settings,
and now you have
come into your own so hard.
- Girl, you...
- What can't I do?
Nothing's gonna stop you, bitch!
- Nothing!
- 10 minutes, queens,
10 minutes.
Oh, my God!
I am very proud
to be at the tail end
of this competition.
Because in some way,
I didn't know if I could,
I didn't know if I would,
and I did.
I'm very proud
of my journey here.
No matter what happens,
I am grateful for this.
I'm proud, 1,000.
I wanna make it to the finale
so fucking badly.
It would mean the world to me
to be there.
I have fought
so hard for it here.
So if I have to lip sync,
I'm going to destroy
whoever is next to me.
It's the only option.
I'm so close
with most of these girls,
so just the thought
of anyone going home,
like, scares me a little bit.
But at the same time,
I have fought too hard
to be here,
and I have so much more
to fight for.
Baby, this is
RuPaul's Drag Race,
and you just never know.
This is a season of gags,
and I know RuPaul
has something up her sleeves.
So right now I'm focused on
getting Kandy Muse to the crown.
Thank you.
All right, queens, follow me.
Back to the main stage.
Here we go.
Our last time!
Oh!
No, I think I'm good.
Welcome back, queens.
I've made some decisions.
Rosé,
Gottmik,
Kandy Muse,
Symone,
I want to see you all
lip sync for your life.
Ladies, I've made my decision.
Shantay you all stay.
I feel beyond.
What a fucking journey.
Baby, I feel over the moon
right now.
I'm going into the finale,
and no one can take away
my happiness right now.
Oh, my God, you guys!
We're top four in the finale!
Oh, bitch, yes!
I'm going to the fucking finale
of RuPaul's Drag Race!
I'm fighting for me,
I'm fighting for my community.
I am going to take this crown.
Aah! Top four!
And now we're going
to the grand finale.
The grand... and now
the real competition is on
because one of us
is about to be...
...is about to win
the crown, honey.
America's next drag superstar!
Top four, Season 13.
I love y'all.
- I love you all so much!
- I love you all.
Oh, my goodness, and I'm ready
to just fucking go for it.
Feeling so proud of myself,
and how fucking amazing
I've done,
and how hard I've fought
this entire competition.
I am this close to being
America's next drag superstar.
Rosé.
What are you not
gonna miss about me?
Comparing pores in the mirror.
Baby, there's no comparison.
I won that one.
I'm not gonna miss
your lovely crusty nails.
I'm not gonna miss...
I'm not gonna miss
any of you, so fuck it.
Mm! Goodbye.
I love a bitch.
This is the hardest thing
I have ever done.
It is so important to me
that I took a huge risk
and challenged myself,
and I did the damn thing.
I get to be on the grand finale
and lip sync for my life
to get the fucking crown.
I could not be happier.
I've always dreamed
of doing this.
Wow. You excelled in cursive.
Oh, girl, this bitch?
Yeah!
Oh, my God, we just did
a mirror message.
Oh, my God, it's so fun!
A girl from Conway, Arkansas,
came to L.A. to become a star,
and she makes it into the grand
finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
That is a mother fucking tale,
and I am so excited
that it's happening for me.
Like, that's nuts. That's crazy.
"Miss Paul, see you
at the finale, bitch!
"#BestTop4Ever.
"#tsstsstss."
"Love, Season 13!"
- Yay!
- Okay, bye.
And that's a wrap, bitch.
