So what are you going to do on stage, a special thing
that I know you're talking to me?
Hm, should I just say your name?
Then people will know.
What if there's another Ellen in there, though?
Mm--
Call me Lil Ellen.
Lil Ellen?
Uh-huh.
Lil Ellen's in the house tonight?
Uh-huh.
Yo, yo, yo, yo!
Stand up, Lil Ellen.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
Hey, everybody, Lil Ellen's in the house tonight.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
Yo, yo!
I like it.
I think it's going to work.
Yes.
Yes--
I don't know.
--all of that.
All of that works.
OK.
What song is that note in, the one
that I'm going to have to hit with you during the show?
[TAKE TURNS VOCALIZING]
Let's harmonize.
[CHUCKLES] No, let's not.
Let's.
Let's do it right now.
[HARMONIZE]
That was weird.
[CHUCKLES]
No, you have to harmonize with me.
I'm the lead singer.
OK, fine.
[HARMONIZE]
[LAUGHTER]
No.
That was not bad.
No, I'm not good at harmonizing.
It was not bad.
I'm usually the lead singer.
Yeah, I'm the lead singer.
No, but usually I am.
But not today.
[HARMONIZES]
OK, I don't even know what to do.
[LAUGHS] See?
It's hard.
It's because I'm the lead singer.
It's hard.
I should get going.
[LAUGHS]
Thank you so much.
No, thank you.
OK.
It's always so good to see you.
OK.
Ooh, that's your move.
That's your move, Lil Ellen.
I used to do that.
[LAUGHS]
I don't know why.
[SIGHS]
[LAUGHTER]
What are you going to do from now until showtime?
I have a little routine that I do.
Right now, I'll go soundcheck--
Mhm.
--and take a nap, and get some work done on my neck,
and stuff like that.
What kind of dinner will you have?
Light.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
I got to go.
OK.
I do.
No, I know.
No, I've got a routine.
Oh, you have your routine?
Yeah, yeah, before I go see a show, I'll do a routine.
So what's your routine?
I'll get body work and--
Do you take a nap?
I do.
We're so alike.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
I'll eat beans.
Beans?
Yeah.
Protein.
Yeah.
Yep.
I wouldn't do beans before a show.
Yeah, well, that's you.
[CHUCKLE]
I know it.
OK.
I know.
I like your outfit.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
I like yours.
[LAUGHTER]
I know.
I'm going to go.
OK.
No, I really am.
No, you should--
No.
I--
Yeah, it's--
I do have to go.
I mean, before I was saying, I have to go.
Now I do.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHUCKLES]
OK.
[LAUGHTER]
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS] [SIGHS] I should go.
OK.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Nice seeing you.
Good to see.
