"normally wear in their day-to-day lives as lesbians--"
American Auto
"Americans-- as lesbian Americans."
American Auto
"But I'm a lesbian and I'd wear what they're wearing."
American Auto
"Great."
American Auto
"And I'm pretty sure one of them isn't even gay."
American Auto
"But, hey, you're the boss."
American Auto
"I'll throw bolo ties on them if you want me to."
American Auto
"Mm. You know what? It's fine. Ah, I love it. Thanks again."
American Auto
"Thank you."
American Auto
"Okay, so there's a chance that one of the actresses"
American Auto
"playing a lesbian could be straight."
American Auto
"So don't lots of straight people play gay characters?"
American Auto
"I mean, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hanks, Channing Tatum?"
American Auto
"Mm-mm."
American Auto
"I don't think Channing's ever played gay."
American Auto
"He's just a good dancer."
American Auto
"It's just--it's complicated right now"
American Auto
"because we're already under the spotlight."
American Auto
"We don't need a story getting out that even when"
American Auto
"we do have a gay character, we cast a straight actress."
American Auto
"It's hard. - What about Hugh Jackman?"
American Auto
"Did we ever get an answer on that one?"
American Auto
"[clears throat]"
American Auto
"Can we just focus on one issue at a time?"
American Auto
"Fine."
American Auto
"I mean, you said there's a chance"
American Auto
"that she might be straight. Can we ask?"
American Auto
"Ooh, absolutely not. That's a real legal red flag."
American Auto
"So no asking."
American Auto
"Are you really putting that under your sleeve?"
American Auto
"You know the sun ain't a tick."
American Auto
"It don't just get in the crevices."
American Auto
"So to sum up, if we ask a straight actress"
American Auto
"to play a gay character, we get in trouble"
American Auto
"but if ask her if she's gay, we also get in trouble?"
American Auto
"Yeah."
American Auto
"Cyrus, what do you think we should do?"
American Auto
"Well, on one hand, I don't feel comfortable"
American Auto
"being the voice of the entire gay community."
American Auto
"On the other hand, they just put out dessert crepes"
American Auto
"and I really wanna get one"
American Auto
"before they've all been picked over."
American Auto
"So..."
American Auto
"[voice muffled] Good luck."
American Auto
"I got a shot list."
American Auto
"If it's helpful, it's--"
American Auto
"There you go. That's-- - Wow."
American Auto
"Yeah, that would be the car, the blue one."
American Auto
"And then all the arrows would be the cameras."
American Auto
"Great, well, you hang onto that,"
American Auto
"and I will--I'll let you know if I need it."
American Auto
"Yeah, no. I like living life. I like that."
American Auto
"- Yeah. - Just let the creativity flow."
American Auto
"I got this when you need it in my hands."
American Auto
"So are we recasting?"
American Auto
"I can place a rush call to another actress,"
American Auto
"but it'll take one to two hours."
American Auto
"We'll have to decide now."
American Auto
"Do you know what it's called when someone pretends to be"
American Auto
"something that they're not? Acting, right?"
American Auto
"So Johnny Depp is not a pirate."
American Auto
"Do we have to recast him"
American Auto
"so we don't offend pirate Americans?"
American Auto
"If we recast,"
American Auto
"how do we make sure we get an actual legit lesbian?"
American Auto
"Okay, look, just to be absolutely clear again,"
American Auto
"we cannot ask anyone about their sexual orientation"
American Auto
"as a condition of employment."
American Auto
"Reese Witherspoon did not go to Harvard Law School"
American Auto
"to win back her boyfriend."
American Auto
"Okay, what if we tell the casting people"
American Auto
"that we want accurate representation?"
American Auto
"And when you say accurate, maybe wink a little bit"
American Auto
"so they kinda know what you mean."
American Auto
"I'll be talking to them on the phone."
American Auto
"It's okay. Just wink with your voice."
American Auto
"Just be like, "We need an accurate lesbian.""
American Auto
"Sorry, one question, what are we supposed to do"
American Auto
"with the actress that we currently have?"
American Auto
"Because obviously, we can't let her go for being not a lesbian."
American Auto
"Is there somewhere else that we could find to put her?"
American Auto
"Stick her wherever you want. I don't care."
American Auto
"I'm here till 6:00."
American Auto
"Uh, just a heads up, we lose the child actors"
American Auto
"in about four hours, so we might wanna keep that in mind."
American Auto
"Great, that's super helpful. Thank you so much 'cause"
American Auto
"what we need right now is more pressure."
American Auto
"Okay, so do we care what race the actress is?"
American Auto
"- Doesn't matter. - Well, white."
American Auto
"What?"
American Auto
"Well, 'cause her partner is white."
American Auto
"So?"
American Auto
"Well, doesn't matter to me personally, but there are,"
American Auto
"you know, people out there who have old fashioned views."
American Auto
"And hey, they buy cars too. So--"
American Auto
"Is what you're saying that"
American Auto
"when it came to casting our two other couples,"
American Auto
"you specifically paired white with white and Black with Black"
American Auto
"because you wanted to make sure"
American Auto
"that we pandered to segregationists?"
American Auto
"Please tell me that is not what you are telling me, Frank."
American Auto
"You know."
American Auto
"Okay, we're gonna mix things up."
American Auto
"Dads, switch cars. Moms, stay where you are."
American Auto
"Moms, you're good. Dads, gotta move."
American Auto
"We're still at driver's side though?"
American Auto
"Yes, men still behind the wheel."
American Auto
"No. No, no, no."
American Auto
"This time--this--this--this--"
American Auto
"this time, the woman drives."
American Auto
"Yeah."
American Auto
"She should let the director say that stuff."
American Auto
"[quirky music]"
American Auto
"♪"
American Auto
"Hi, I just wanna say"
American Auto
"that everyone is loving what you're doing."
American Auto
"- Really? - You are..."
American Auto
"[clicks tongue] Knocking it out the park."
American Auto
