Reboot - First Season

- Hey. - Hi.

I'm sorry, but aren't you that actor from "Step Right Up"?

Yes, I am, yup, Reed Sterling, yeah.

Wow, wow, this is so exciting.

- We're from Indiana. - Ah!

Oh, we loved your show.

Oh, well it's, uh, coming back.

We're shooting episodes right now.

Oh that explains it. We saw your co-star here yesterday.

- Oh, which co-star? - Bree Marie Jensen.

She's staying at this hotel too.

- In fact... - Hi, honey!

I just saw her fucking tits.

Oh my god, would you tell those motherfuckers-

- to get their shit together? - She's from New York.

- Those are New York words. - Oh my god, I'm sorry,

- we're in the final dress rehearsal and Margo Martindale's top just fell off.

Oh.

- Bye. - Bye.

How, how's it going?

Well a pipe burst on the floor above me,

so I had to switch hotels.

Oh, that sucks, I'm sorry.

It's actually pretty nice here, and the timing's good.

I don't have to work today 'cause they're doing a pre-shoot.

Reed!

- Reed Sterling! - Uh, it's some fan.

See, I told you.

Right there, that's Bree Marie Jensen.

- Thank you so... - Hi.

Thank you, wow.

Wow, uh, yeah, Bree's here.

She must be staying here too.

The, the studio, the studio put me up here. I had no idea.

Reed!

Okay, I'm gonna let you go-

- 'cause it seems like she really needs you.

- No, she doesn't need me. - I need you!

- Oh wow, okay. - Reed!

Oh my god, you know what would be so fun?

What if it turned out that you two had adjoining rooms?

- Okay... - It'd be like a Neil Simon play,

but with fucking.

- Okay, Nora. - Okay, I gotta go, I gotta go.

Reed!

Yes.

See those guys over there.

Yes, I do.

I've been watching them since they checked in.

And is that what was so important-

- that you felt the need to hail me like a cab?

Yes, here's what I'm thinking... red jacket, widow.

Her dead husband was a rich Texas oil magnate.

- Okay. - Man bun is her interior designer,

- probably from Paris, and tracksuit is her masseuse-

and she never travels without him-

- after sustaining an injury falling off of a horse-

on her very own ranch.

Oh god.

You're still playing that game.

Yes, come on, you used to love it. Who are they?

Well, I don't know who they are,

- but I... - Yes?

...am an actor who's going to the gym.

- Reed. - Yeah, so.

Oh, and by the way, just because you have a cane-

- and a man bun does not mean you're from Europe.

So where's he from?

Brazil, Kinshasa, Malaysia... nope, nope,

I'm not playing this game.

- You played it. - I did not play it.

- You just played it. - I did not play it.

I just don't understand why we can't order sushi for lunch.

'Cause the studio won't pay for it.

Even if it's my half birthday?

What is that, is that like a millennial thing?

I think all generations love sushi.

So anyway, thank you so much again.

Um, these things can be really weird,

but I wanted to do the right thing.

Oh, in the world of HR, not even in the top 10 of weird.

- Right, right. - Yeah. You handled it perfectly.

Oh, oh my god, though, it, it, it was nothing,

- I mean, you made it, you made it easy, so yeah.

- Just doing my job. - Well, as a human,

I thank you for your resources.

Forget, forget I said that. - No, you're really, you're really funny.

- Oh, thank you. - Yeah.

- It was nice meeting you. - Nice meeting you too,

- and thank you, again... I already said that over there so...

- Ah, goodbye. Bye. - Okay, Bye.

- Yeah, bye-bye. - Bye.

Look at you!

Who's your little friend?

No, that's not, no, no, no, that's not my friend.

She's, uh, that's Mallory from HR.

I mean, maybe someday we'll be friends, I don't know,

I don't have a crystal ball.

Well, she's cute.

Um, okay, I wasn't thinking about that,

- we were more focused on a very important...

Alright so, so that, that's your type, good to know.

- I didn't... I never said that. - And why wouldn't she be?

She's an attractive woman, you're attracted to women.

There's no reason to get all weird about this.

I'm not making it weird.

You're the one making it weird, you weirdo.

- Me? - If you must know,

it was a very professional meeting-

because a certain coworker wants to know-

- if he can ask out another certain coworker, don't ask me,

I'm not gonna tell you who it is.

I never would've in a million years, but by the way,

- this asking out info, that could come in very handy-

for you and the looker from HR.

Oh, did you just wink?

I winked, yes, I winked.

I always wink when there's love in the air.

Oh god, oh, ugh, I'm very uncomfortable.

Don't feel un... why, what? God put us on this earth-

to fall in love, the gays too.

- Oh the gays, thank you. - The LGTV:s.

That's a brand of television.

Well, this has been life-altering. I'm gonna go to set.

Listen, if you ever want wardrobe to fix you up-

with a flirty outfit,

- they can hammer... - Oh my God, n...

Oh, what, what the L:s don't like to look sexy now?

Seems like a long way to go for a dream sequence.

I said the same thing but I was told-

- the flying represents the freedom Jake seeks-

from the pressure of his work life.

Very artsy.

Mm-hmm, all I'm hearing-

is that my nuts are gonna get wrenched.

Oh, BRB, bro.

- Hey. - Hey, what did HR say?

Yeah, it's cool, uh, you're, you're free to ask out-

- whoever it is. - Aw, sweet, I'm pumped.

This girl is really special.

Uh, yes, but company policy states-

you can only ask her out once.

Why?

Well, because if she doesn't say yes-

- and then you ask her again, it's considered harassment.

Wait, I only get one shot?

That's not fair.

Well, bud, life's not fair.

You know, I, uh, I'm stuck with a driver's license photo-

that makes me look like John C. Reilly.

Ooh, snacks.

I say we just dump the whole J scene.

You always wanna cut the J scene.

A surgeon cuts to heal.

You know, can I ask you young kids-

something a little delicate?

Okay, just a few injections in the forehead-

and some filler here and here.

Now he's funny. Something delicate about Hannah.

Here's my question, you guys travel in the same circle.

Is she seeing anybody?

Not really.

But like, has she ever had a serious girlfriend?

Um, now that you mention it?

I think she has some intimacy issues.

No, Hannah? Where the hell would that come from?

Oh god, he's serious.

What, oh, you think she's emotionally closed off-

because of me?

No, no, of course not.

No, that was probably the, the other father-

that she grew up without.

My father wasn't around and I went the other way-

and fucked everyone in Philly.

The '83 Sixers should've given me a ring.

It's a heartwarming story. Can we get back to Hannah?

Here's the thing.

I think she kinda likes this Mallory woman from HR.

So how do we find out if she's single-

or perhaps likes girls?

- Let's check her socials. - Oh, alright.

Okay, Mallory, Hulu, human resources.

Yeah, and just asking, has, has anyone read my draft?

- Hold on. - Got it, Mallory Bixby.

- Yes. - Yup, Google says she's 36 years old.

No mention of spouse.

- Okay. - I'll check Instagram.

I'll check Venmo.

She's ancient, I'll check Facebook.

Just saying, turned it in two days ago.

Yeah, you turned it in on a yellow legal pad.

She's still typing it up.

Okay, Mallory Bixby, lots of pics with friends.

- Alright. So? - And a dog.

- Ooh. - I like it.

No wedding ring.

There we go. I like that.

Uh-oh, arm-in-arm with a man.

- No! - Every time.

Wait, it's her brother.
