Hey, hey, Titus.

Uh, look what finally came.

An award?

Pour je?

[clears throat]

In 1967, Sidney Poitier...

[stammers] Titus, these are Artie's ashes.

Oh, okay. I see it.

[Lillian] It just took forever

to get the body released
'cause in Norwegian,

the word for "cremate" is the same
as the word for "shoot at the moon."

Huh? And it's been tough waiting for him.

I just want Artie to be at peace

'cause, you know,
our last days together...

weren't exactly perfect.

Of course I don't support his politics!

I'm just telling you those were
the best steaks I ever ate.

Oh, but you won't drink carbonated water
that was made in the settlements.

He died later that day.

Well, as much as I love not being
the ashiest person in the room for once,

this place does not need any more ghosts.

Titus, I keep telling you, there are--

Then why do I wake up
every morning fully slimed?

Well, I-I'm gonna scatter his ashes today.

He wants to spend eternity

in his old summer camp
on the Lower East Side.

Yeah, Camp Schmutz
for Jewish Boys and Their Mothers...

which is probably, you know,
a condo or something by now,

but as long as he's gonna be
in the right spot,

he'll be at peace.

FYI, when I die, I wanna be placed

in that Bodies exhibit
so that I can be thin and looked at.

- Oh.
- Good morning.

Oh, hey.

Well, I'm off to scatter Artie's ashes.

Oh, I'm sorry, Lillian.

FYI, when I die, I wanna do that thing
that Princess Diana did,

where the whole world mourns

and people put teddy bears
in front of your palace.

That's class.

Uh, yeah.

Now, why hasn't my favorite client
been answering his phone?

Because I'm out of datum. You heard me.

I'm on a datum plan. Just the one.

Not like you call with good news.

I got you that stock footage gig.

Is that what that was?

- [dance music playing]
- [siren wailing]

Is this gonna turn into a porno or not?

And it never did.

[sighs]

At this rate, I'll never become a star.

And if I'm not a star,
how will I ever get Mikey to notice me?

I declared my love for him
on a boat, Jacqueline.

I can't just show up now and act
all Contempo Casual.

Well, I'm doing the best I can,

but no one takes me seriously.

I don't have an office.

I only have one client,

and no one has heard of him,

even though his name is ridiculous.

Forget about him! I need a job.

It shouldn't be this hard.

There's so much television.

This is what TV Guide looks like now.

Ooh.

These shows all sound fake.

SMILF? Billions? Shameless?

I fell asleep against
the wall the other day

and they posted over me
for something called...

"Ray Don-ah-van."

Who or what?

Maybe you should lie and say
I'm on one of those shows. Who would know?

Or, even better...

we say you're the star of a show
that we've made up completely.

[gasps] How much is our fake wig budget?
Double it.

[slurping]

What's wrong, Kimmy?
You can talk to me, girlfriend.

Thanks, C.H.E.R.Y./L.

It's nice to have another gal
in the office.

Hey, I'm not just a Cybernetic Human
Empathy Response Yuko/Lamp.

I'm also your friend/lamp.

I thought this job would be
all planning birthday parties

and keeping things fun, Kimmy-style.

I got everyone T-shirts!

[employees cheer]

[Kimmy laughs]

Work is fun! [laughs]

But now Zach wants me to fire Kabir.

That's not fun.

You want my advice?

Chardonnay.

[Titus] Kimberly.

We need to borrow a nerd.

What? No, you can't just--

I'll tell you why.

We're making a poster

for Titus' new,
completely made-up hit TV show.

It's called The Capist.

It stars "moy" as a superstrong
crimes fighter who owns a cape store.

Also, there's a handsome white guy in it--

for believability.

[Titus] The point is,

we need a contuter and someone who knows

how to talk to the contuter
and make it do posters.

Fine. Whatever. I've got my own problems.

Like what?

...he said, as an excuse
to get close enough

to eat her fries.

[Kimmy] Zach says I have to fire

one of the coders,

just for doing his job bad.

So there'll be an open desk?

I know he deserves it.

Kabir is always late.

Speaking of late,

why did these guys program me
to get a period?

Men.

[scoffs]

But I never wanna make people feel sad.

I'm not an Eeyore. I'm a Pooh!

I'm a big ole Pooh.

Oh, sweetie. Firing people is easy.

You hide some of your jewelry
in their purse,

and then when you "find" it,

bam!

Who are the cops gonna believe?
You or some red-haired idiot?

No. There has to be a better way.

A Kimmy way.

That's why Zach hired me
in the first place.

I can fire Kabir but still
make him feel good, not embarrassed.

I just...need to cover up the bad news
with lots of nice stuff.

I could get him his favorite smoothie
and let that wash it down.

Ha. Like when you trick a Titus

into taking his medicine
by covering it in peanut butter.

If you think I don't suck
the peanut butter off pills,

you are dreaming.

[gasps]

[Kimmy] That's him.

Wish me luck, T-Bird.

You.

You're making us a poster.

Cool. CMYK or RGB?

Shut up, nerd. You're ruining it.

- May I help you?
- Oh.

[stammers] I got a dentist appointment

or whatever it is you guys do here.

Um, unrelated: is there a fountain
or a lap pool I could scatter nothing in?

Snoke House is a members-only club.

Gentlemen. Your guests are waiting for you
in the prostitute lounge.

Ugh. Fine, okay. Uh, how much
does it cost to join this dump?

The initiation fee's $100,000.

To walk into a building?

I used to get paid to walk into buildings
back when I was robbing banks.

Oh. Well, okay.

I give up,

'cause I scare off easy.

[mischievous music playing]

[in Russian accent] Hello.
Am stripper for rich-guy party.

Am okay with you kill me.

You're stripping on Peter Thiel's
dudes-only indoor yacht?

Ugh.

[giggling] Hey!

It's me, Cyndi Lauper,
and I just wanna have fun.

Holy crap!
Cyndi Lauper just killed that stripper.

Run, Cyndi!

Kabir, could I see you in my office,
please?

Alone?

I wanna make you feel good.

Okay?

Ah!

Wow!

You've got really nice eyes.

What color is that? Brown?

Hey, relax. [chuckles]

Look, the reason I called you in here

is to tell you that I like you, Kabir.

I like seeing you every day.

But maybe work
isn't the best place for that.

Maybe our friendship belongs...
in the night hours.

Do you get what I'm trying to say?

Okay.

I don't want you to feel embarrassed.

Embarrassing stuff can happen to anyone.

Uh-oh!

Would you look at that?

Now, this thing's not gonna suck itself.

No, thank you.

Okay, then.

You're fired.

Titus, it's Mikey! From the boat!

Hello, Michael. How are you?

Still Italian?

Very.

Dude, I had to call
'cause I saw posters for your new show.

- Oh, did you, now?
- They were all over my neighborhood

and everywhere along my commute,
and now there's a bunch at my work site.

[chuckles] How embarrassing.

I can't wait to see it on...

the Funness Channel?

"Chammel," yes.

Well, I just wanted to call and say
I'm glad you're doing so good.

Maybe I'll see you around.

[stammers] You know,
it's funny you called,

because my character is a capist

by day, as you know,

but in the night hours,

he's a construction man like you.

Maybe you could give me some pointers.

Jeez, I don't know anything
about night construction work.

I mean, how do they even...

Lights! Of course.

Okay, come by the site whenever.

[stammers] Are you still
around the corner?

Yeah, we accidentally built the bank
inside the Starbucks

instead of the other way around,
so we had to start over.

Cool, cool.

Maybe I'll pop over on a turnaround.

[clears throat] That's lunch!

Enjoy the scrod truck,

Full of business worms ♪

Zach!

What in the big city
is Kabir still doing here?

I hired you so that I wouldn't
have to talk to anyone, and now look.

I'm talking to a third person today.

My Lyft driver asked me
if the temperature was okay,

and then Kabir filed a sexual harassment
complaint against you.

What? For why?

"Mr. Lahti was ordered
into Ms. Schmidt's office,

where she complimented
his physical appearance,

gave him an unwanted back rub,

exposed herself,

and then told him, quote,

'This thing isn't going to suck itself.'"

And it didn't. I had to do it.

And I sucked it dry.

Kimmy, this is a problem.

No. It's all a misunderstanding.

Kabir took everything the wrong way.

I was just trying to fire him
in a fun, Kimmy way.

That's what people love about me.

Up top, T-Man.

My name is Tyler,
and I don't like to be touched.

None of us do.

And after what you did to Kabir...

we're not gonna take it anymore.

Take what anymore?

[dramatic string music playing]

Kimmy coming!

[all screaming]

[laughing in slow motion]

[scoffs]

No. You know what? [scoffs forcefully]

You guys just don't like fun.

[clicks tongue] Okay, whatever.

A complaint has been filed,
and as the head of HR,

I will be placing me on leave
while I conduct an investigation of me.

[defeated music playing]

Thank you for calling me back.

Oh, yes, Titus is very comfortable
working with eels.

So the hammer...
that has nothing to do with ham?

That's a common misconception,
but it's actually for whapping stuff.

Here, you try it.

Like this?

[chuckling] No.

Oh, man, this is such a relief.

I was worried it was gonna be weird
after the boat

and with me seeing somebody,
but then I called you!

So it can't be a trick.

And look at me,

a consultant for a TV show like all
those sex criminals they hire on SVU.

Hey.

What's Greg Kinnear like?

Who?

...is the guy on the poster. [scoffs]

Of course.

We didn't just do an image search
of "white guy, not scary." [laughs]

Well... [clears throat] In real life,

he is exactly like he is in that movie.
You know, with him and that person?

Stuck on You?

Mm-mm-hmm.

Oh, man. I can't wait to see you two
on-screen together.

Mm. Well, I know how loyal
you are to Verizon.

After what the "can you hear me now?"
guy did to them?

I'm not gonna put them through that twice.

But unfortunately, Verizon doesn't carry
the Funness Chammel.

It's a shame,
'cause you'd love all that action.

I shoot my first big fight scene tomorrow
with Gr... eg.

But the poster says you guys are partners.

Talk about drama.

Yeah, but we're gonna submit as a comedy
'cause it's a half hour.

Hey, I'm actually free tomorrow.

If anyone in the union has a birthday,
everyone gets the day off.

Can I come visit the set?

Sure. I'll just have my assistant give you
the deets.

[chuckles]

Uh, his name, you say? Uh...

Table... wood... rat birth!

Tablewood Ratbirth.

Hey, Lillian.

Thought you were going downtown
to scatter your boy.

I tried, B,

but his old summer camp
is some D-bag private club now.

They wouldn't let me in.

That keeps happening!

You know that strip joint on 248th?

The Nipple Basement.

Yeah, it's a Soho House now.

[chuckles] Oh, "So-ho House."
And that's not a strip joint?

Huh.

I don't wanna beat a dead horse,

- but if I did, I couldn't.
- Mm.

They're all gone now
due to gentrification.

Oh, I don't know.

All these rich white folks coming in
has been pretty lucrative for me.

We've gone from selling rock
to selling powder.

- MAGA, right?
- Hmm.

Speaking of which...

[pensive music playing]

[cell phone buzzes]

Titus, the poster is working!

I've spoken to a dry cleaner

who's interested in hanging your head shot
between two Belzers.

Also, are you still allergic to eels?

I don't have time to say yes or no
to that question!

I promised Mikey he could
visit set tomorrow.

He wants to meet that white guy
from the poster.

I'm screwed, Jacqueline! Like a screw!

I know construction stuff now.

Why did you have to bring Mikey into this?
This isn't about your love life.

This about building a fempire!

Female vampire? Lose-lose.

But... if I could get pictures
of you "on set" with Greg Kinnear,

then upload them to a contuter,

cut to: you're on Talk Stoop,

and taxi passengers are seeing your face

while they angrily
press the screen to turn it off.

But how are we gonna find
the white guy from the poster?

His son goes to Buckley's old school.

Buckley's now at a military academy
for peculiar children.

But Greg always brings his boy,
Kinnear, to morning drop-off.

"Kinnear Kinnear"?

It's a family name.

If we could just get you two together,
even just for a few seconds,

then that eel safety video is yours.

What?

"A hostile work environment"?

- "Unwanted physical contact"?
- [door squeaks open]

"Terrible celebrity impressions"?

[as Christopher Walken?]
Can you... buh-lieve-uh... uh-this?

[gasps softly]

What have you done,
Kim-Kimmery-Kim-Kimmery-Kim-Kim-Karoo?

I don't know.

I mean, it's not like I'm a Weinstein
or a Spacey

- or a the president.
- That doesn't matter.

Even Kimmies have to watch
their step these days.

There's a reckoning going on,
and it is important--

and as overdue as the library book
I've been using as abs.

- But I'm not a--
- This is not about you, girl.

This is about your coworkers
and how they feel.

But mostly, it's about me.

[voice breaking]
Because this happened to me.

So you give Mr. Frumpus what he wants,

and you get what you want:

one of the best TV jobs in New York.

[Titus clears throat]

[eerie string music playing]

Titus, I'm so sorry.

But that's not what I did, is it?

[inhales] Look.

I know you're just a sweet girl
who don't know how to act...

Like Britney Spears in Crossroads?

But every time you walked
into that office,

you made those nerds feel scared

and powerless,

like... Britney Spears in Crossroads.

[metallic clank]

Reverend coming!

[panting]

- Hide!
- [yelps]

[the Reverend] Tube alert!
I just finished my mash-up

of "Un-Break My Heart"
and "Bird is the Word."

But the time signatures are so different!
[gasps]

How was that flashback?

Was I there? How did I look?

Oh, no.

If that's how I made my coworkers feel,
I'm a monster.

I just thought hugs and high fives
and T-shirts were good things.

All I ever wanted to do
was make the world a better place.

But I guess now I'll fire people
and not care if they're sad.

And I'll be Johnny Paycheck,

just working for the weekend
like a rat on the old hamster wheel!

No, Slim Kim.

You need to find a way to make work fun

while also respecting
people's personal space.

But that's Kimpossible!

Is it?
Remember when you first moved in here?

What are we doing today?
I wanna ride an escalator.

[screeches] Lillian!

I'm a very prickly gay man,

and not just because I fell into a cactus

while stealing apples
from a botanical garden.

When you moved in here,
you had boundary issues.

But I learned to respect
your personal space,

and we still have tons of fun here. See?

[Titus giggles]

I know what I have to do.

Wow, a real Hollywood TV shoot.

Wait, is that the camera guy?
He's just using his phone.

Well, yes.

People watch shows on phones, so you have
to shoot on them as well, otherwise--

Your nose would be, like,
the whole screen.

That makes sense.

And action!

Okay, here we are. Well, listen.

You have yourself a great day,

and remember, your dad,

Greg Kinnear, loves you.

All right.

- Punch me. Do it.
- Whoa!

Uh... you-- you want an autograph?

Or a hot meal?

Okay, listen.

My ex-boyfriend over there thinks
I'm a big-shot actor filming a scene.

Man, I can't believe
Greg Kinnear is doing TV.

He has an Oscar nomination.

It's a passion project for him.
His mother was a capist.

Cool. Hey, what is a capist?

Shh, we're rolling.

Well, that is quite a story, Titus.

What can I say?

- I love love.
- [Titus gasps]

So, yeah,

just tell me how I can help.

Well, I kind of told him
it was a fight scene.

- Oh! Oh, okay.
- So just, you know...

[Greg] Yeah. Say no more.

- Just...
- Yeah.

[clears throat]

[both grunt]

- [grunts, gasps]
- Oh! Uh...

Did he see it? Did he buy it?

Yeah! Go, Capist!

[man] Quiet, please!

[whispering] I think so.

Well, Artie...

you're finally gonna
be able to rest in peace.

[door squeaks open]

[laughs]

Hey, what? You lightweights done already?

Yeah, I'm supposed to testify
to the SEC in 20 minutes.

Oh, really?

Instead of skiing up Party Mountain?

Noice!

Just promise me you'll do all of it
while you're in there, okay?

Is the pope a homo?

[laughter]

Now we're both at peace...

and I made 1,200 bucks!

[laughs] Ooh, this is the most fun
I've had disposing of a body since...

Oh, well, just don't make me choose!

Kimmy coming!

Good morning, coworkers.

Kimmy. You're back.

Is everything... okay now?

Because you made Tyler so nervous,

he pasted his admin password
into the release notes

for the new beta! [chuckles]

Well, Zach,
I've concluded my investigation.

And I've found a way
to give everyone a happy ending.

[bright music playing]

[man] Uh, because that's the only thing

that can destroy the Wall.

[man] But what's the science

behind White Walker Drogon
breathing blue fire?

[man] Um, for starters,

Viserion is the ice dragon.

And it doesn't matter,

because if Bran is the Night King,
I'm done!

[scoffs]

Hey, you must be Mikey.

- [gasps]
- Yeah.

I've heard a lot about you from my costar.

Wow! Greg Kinnear knows my name.
That's as good as it gets.

[chuckles] That's awesome.

Look, I got a grown man's
birthday party I gotta get to,

but this was a treat,
and I'm glad this all worked out.

Plan? [stammers] What plan?

I mean me and you.
It's just cool that we can be friends now.

It is cool.

Maybe I'll call you
when I get my next monthly datum.

[Greg] Wow.

Hey, I know this was just a goof,

but this was-- it was really fun, Titus.

Remember when we were kids
and we would just... pretend?

Well, I never stopped. [chuckles]

And I dig that twisted brain
of yours, mister!

We'll do it again for real sometime.

Wait. Like, "for real" for realsies?

Yeah. Yeah, why don't you write
this Capist thing up?

We'll take it out together.

YouTube Brown just bought ten episodes

of "literally anything" from me,
and I don't have anything in the pipeline.

Jacqueline White, White Talent.

Titus would love to be
in the Greg Kinnear business.

Okay, get me a script in a week or two.

We get paid to dream.

Oh, my God. I did it.

Will you reach out to Greg

and let him know
I can't make his deadline?

[sinister percussive music playing]

[man] Consider it done.
