It's 1977...
the streets are full of trash
and the people ain't much cleaner.
We find ourselves at a grimy disco tech
called Studio 55.
[chuckles]
Police arrive to discover there was a grisly murder.
[gasping] Ooh, how grisly?
Oh, very grisly.
All right, now it's time
to draw cards to find out which characters we all play.
I'm Cloudy Skies,
a persnickety flight attendant who's unlucky in love.
Don't know what that's like.
You'd probably also struggle with my character.
Anita Hug, a loving granddaughter
who snuck into the club to respect her elders.
Ooh, I'm Dee Dee Bustier, a sexy secretary
ready to sleep, um... nap her way to the top.
I'm Pablo Picasso,
a wealthy artist turned restaurateur.
I don't understand this character.
I-I don't know how to play this.
Let's see. I'm the detective, Sergeant Bell Bottoms,
whose brother is the victim. [gasping]
Well, I'm going to find out
which one of you sick freaks did this to my brother,
Elton Dodd.
And I'm... the detective's wife.
Perfect.
Your soul mate chemistry
with your husband can not be denied.
Note: you and your husband could never be mistaken
for friends.
Uh, Pearl, why don't we just switch?
It's fine.
- No, it only makes sense. - No, no, I don't want to.
- Come on, let's-- - I'm the murderer!
[groaning]
Come on!
Sorry, I-
What we do now? The murder mysteries over.
I'm sorry, Freddie.
Guess that means the party's over, too.
You wanna share an Uber?
Jennifer R. will be out front in three.
What are you talking about?
You think a murder mystery party is all about the murder mystery?
That's right there in the name so.
But... Pearl and I have so many more things planned.
- You do? - We do?
Yeah, you tell 'em.
Oh, uh, she must mean my riff on Pin the Tail on the Donkey.
Only instead of a donkey, it's...
- A crow? - Oh, you've played it.
Hey. Hey. Where do you two think you're-
[gasping]
You're trying to do an Irish goodbye.
Wait. Is that offensive?
[both] The Irish are fine.
You know how important this party is
to Freddie's relationship with Pearl.
Then he, of all people, should know how important
this date is to my relationship with a woman I've never met.
We want to be here for Freddie, and we know how hard
you've worked on this, but face it.
Freddie's mama recapping an episode of Yellowstone
was the highlight of the night.
Well, there's also cake and a disco play list
and drinks that need to happen.
Fine. We will stay for cake and dancing
and okay, we'll drink heavily,
but after that, we are out of here.
Hey, I'm famished, who wants cake?
I'll get the candles.
Ah. No time, everybody sing!
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
-
I have always thought that song was too slow.
♪ Happy birthday dear Freddie Happy birthday to you ♪
No, give me the cake, you're gonna drop it.
Oh!
It's colder than I expected.
Is there at least some pudding in the fridge?
I ate it.
No, um, Millicent and your mom can just go bake you
a whole new cake.
Once again, the women take on the emotional labor.
You go make a cake for your son.
Uh. Now, uh, everybody dance to this awesome play list
that Pearl obviously made.
[music playing]
I said, "Everybody".
[music playing]
We're gonna die alone.
Mm-hmm.
[music playing]
That's too many eggs.
Uh-huh. [dolphin chirping]
You know, I flushed your fish donut down the toilet.
Uh-huh.
Will you stop flipping with Derek?
Grandma, I pray that one day
you find someone as kind and dope as Derek.
But until then, you just don't understand.
Oh, I understand
that you're going to put that phone down
and help me bake.
[dolphin chirping]
Millicent, do not flip that flipper.
Don't you flip.
[dolphin chirping]
Look, I'm sorry if I'm focused on the best thing in my life
that'll ever be and not some dumb cake
with way too many eggs in it.
But Derek's going to flip me back right... now.
Now. Now.
