"I have an appointment with my life coach, and..." "I still need to get in a nap before my set tonight." "I was gonna say you look tired." "I do?" "I don't know." "Do you?" "I don't know. [stammers] You said it." "I wasn't listening to the thing I was saying." "I don't wanna get overwhelmed again." "You can't." "You're right." "You've gotta slow down." "Am I going too fast?" "Everything's moving fast." "I can't keep track of anything." "I'm getting scared, Maria." "This is what I was worried about." "I can't get back on that Hollywood hamster wheel." "Getting sick again." "We can't afford to have you slip back to those depths from which you emerged." "I better just go." "Yes." "You go do you." "[theme music playing]" "[Maria] I'm a pterodactyl."

"I don't at all feel unnerved." "I love kids and their faces and skins." "I'm gonna get someone to hang out with them since I have to work." "Tell that person they are gonna have to hang out with me, too." "Because I'm spending all day with your children." "Really?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "You don't have to." "I do have to, because I love being busy with kids." "Have them bring friends." "Have their friends bring friends." "You know what, can you excuse me a moment?" "[muffled screaming]" "Maria, your kids are here." "We dropped them at craft services." "I need you to sign your SAG paperwork." "Okay, great." "I didn't know you had kids." "Well, they aren't mine."

"Uh, nothing." "Nothing at all." "Right." "Well, I'm doing a new movie, and I wrote a part in it just for you." "You know that you called Maria Bamford, right?" "Maria, you're doing that thing again." "What thing?" "That thing where you diminish yourself as a person and artist, 'cause you're afraid to accept that you have a unique and singular voice." "Oh, that thing." "I'm gonna tell you about the movie." "It's a double crossover sequel of Bridesmaids and Ghostbusters." "Feig is in, and it is called..." "Bridebusters?" "Actually, no." "We never thought of that." "Write that down, "Brides... busters."" "No." "We're gonna go Ghostmaids." "Ghostmaids." "Okay, here's the thing." "We've already got Melissa McCarthy," "Wiig, Schumer, and, in kind of a large supporting part, Nancy Reagan." "Oh..." "So, what do you say?" "You wanna make a movie?" "[mouthing] No." "[whispering] Why not?" "Do you know how much work this will lead to?" "Definite pass." "No way." "But it's a big movie with stars." "Sometimes you have to say no to the best when you need the rest." "[sighs] Goddamn it." "Judd, I can't do it." "Give the part to a charity." "Like the downtown women's center." "I can't give a job to a downtown women's center, 'cause it's an acting role for a person." "Are you freaking out again?" "No." "I'm healthier than I've ever been." "Maybe go to her house with some zinc lozenges and some old Mike Douglas DVDs." "The ones with Totie Fields she likes." "Church is gonna come over and follow up, okay?" "No." "You're the best." "I need the rest." "Thank you so much for thinking of me." "I treasure you, and I love you so very much." "Buh-bye!" "Maria, don't!" "Stop thinking, plea" "Oh, God." "Ugh." "See, that wasn't hard." "How do you feel?" "Deflated." "Yeah." "You know what deflation is?" "Ambition just leaving your body." "[sighs]" "Oh, it's so good to feel free from success." "[chuckles]" "[Maria] I grew up in a family that was obsessed with being productive." "While I was recovering at home, my mother made me mentor a young comic." "So, Maria, I watched your stand-up, and it was, like... it wasn't funny." "That's wonderful feedback." "What kind of comedy do you like to do?" "So, I like to change the words to Katy Perry songs." "So, here's one." "Mr. Sherman's such a jerk." "He always gives us homework." "Work, work, work." "Oh." "Okay, that's fun." "All my friends say I'm so hilarious." "And one time, I ate dog food at a party." "Sorry to interrupt, hons." "Your father and I were cleaning out the attic." "Not a euphemism." "And look what we found... your violin." "Play it and see if it still works." "Mom, I hate that violin." "Please burn it." "Oh, Kristy, she played so beautifully when she was just about your age." "Won all the competitions." "Come on, play it for Kristy." "No, Mom... no violin." "Oh, this one. [sighs]" "You'd think we held a gun to her head." "All right, fine, I'll play it." "Here are two of the world's smallest violins, playing just for you." "[Maria] Oh." "That's not the gesture you think it is, Mom." "Oh, I can't do anything right." "Ugh." "Moms, right?" "They're the worst." "The total worst." "So, your mom said that you wanted to, um..." "prepare for some contest at school?" "Yeah." "The winner gets an Applebee's gift card and is principal for the day." "I'm gonna make everyone eat dog food." "[Maria] Doesn't it annoy you that your mom is making you sit here with me?" "It's super annoying." "And she cut down my allowance, because we're," ""barely scraping by."" "What a bitch." "How would you like to stick it to your mom and all the other moms out there who are forcing their kids to do stuff they don't wanna do?" "Like, for example, play the violin." "I would love it." "When I am done with you, you are gonna have 20 tons of comedy napalm to drop on Mrs. Coombs, or whatever name your mom is calling herself by these days." "Kablam!" "[imitates explosion]" "Take that, motherfucker!" "I love it." "Send me that material?" "Yes, yes." "Goddamn it, she's funny." "Maria, hon, hi." "Candy Coombs, Kristy's mom." "[laughing] Oh, hi, Mrs. Coombs." "Your mom went to the cellar to grab some white wine." "Mmm." "We're celebrating." "Kristy won her comedy contest." "Oh, yeah." "In your face, Mrs. Coombs!" "I brought you a gift for helping mentor Kristy to victory." "Hmm?" "It's candy." "[groans]" "Like my name." "[chuckles] Candy." "Yeah, I get it. [scoffs]" "It means the world that you were willing to help mentor Kristy." "Between you and me," "I don't know how much time I have left for Kristy." "Oh, really?" "Not much time left for your child?" "Six months if I'm lucky." "I'm dying of pancreatic cancer." "[gasps]" "Yeah." "I haven't told Kristy yet." "[wheezing]" "It's stage four. [chuckles]" "Which is funny." "That's the stage she performed on last night." "The reason I was pushing for you to get involved is that I wanted to give Kristy a win before I die, and she loses everything." "We're having some pretty serious money trouble." "And I have no insurance." "[sighs] I couldn't afford it after her father shot himself. [chuckles]" "Oh, no." "You must hate me." "I helped your daughter develop an act that was very critical." "Watching that must've really hurt." "Not really." "I injected painkillers into my abdomen so I could sit upright during her set." "Oh, my God." "Yeah, Kristy ripped me a new one." "[both sigh]" "But... that's okay." "[groans]" "As long as she gets the victory, I can take the hit." "Because that's what moms do." "[clicks tongue]" "[Candy groans] -[Marilyn] Hey, Maria, you wanna join us?" "I'm just gonna pull some sausage from the meat raffle out of the freezer." "[sobs] I'm not worthy!" "Of freezer sausage?" "Somebody's getting their pyramid." "[Maria playing violin]" "Oh, Maria, the violin." "You still play like an angel." "Mom, I wanted to tell you something." "I haven't always been the easiest, and I just appreciate everything that you've done, and everything that I know you'll continue to do." "And..." "I, uh..." "Thank you for taking all the hits all these years." "Oh, you're welcome, honey." "You're welcome. [sniffles]" "Do you wanna burn that thing?" "Yes." "Yes." "Okay, let's go out back to the trash can and torch it hobo style." "[laughing] Yeah." "We'll get some of your dad's gayer shirts," "and we'll destroy them too." "Oh, great." "[Marilyn] Which ones do you wanna pick?" "Well, that one that's orange plaid..." "[Karl grunts] -[cell phone chimes]" "[Maria groaning]" "Oh, shit!" "I gotta go to Phoenix." "Why you gotta go to Phoenix?" "'Cause he's in Paris." "What?" "Joaquin Phoenix." "He needs my help in Paris." "Paris Hilton?" "What?" "Maria, don't be gross." "He's having a total mid-loaf crisis." "[chuckles] Needs my help." "Time to pay the bills, know what I mean?" "You specifically said not to pay the bills." "I was being metaphorical, Maria." "Everybody has to pay their bills." "In fact, you owe me $10,000." "[gasps] -[cell phone chimes]" "Ooh!" "That's my Uber." "Okay." "[Karl] Keep doing this until I get back." "You're doing great." "No, no." "No, no, no, no." "[gasps] Judd!" "[crying] Oh..." "Loaf legs!" "[continues crying]" "Judd, wait!" "Maria." "Yeah. [stammers]" "I told you not to come here without asking." "Okay." "You have to call ahead." "Yes." "Ooh, but I'm here." "You are." "Is there something you need?" "I was wrong." "I was, uh..." "just doing a bit when I said no." "'Cause, I" " I love comedy." "You love comedy." "Let's..." "let's work together. [exclaims] [sighs] I have bad news." "No." "I just gave the part to Sarah Silverman, like, 13 seconds ago." "No!" "[inhales]" "Oh, she's so good." "Okay." "So good." "Okay." "Couldn't you just call..." "takebacksies, Judd?" "Here's the thing." "Yes." "I hate to say this." "Yeah." "In this business..." "there are no takebacksies." "[gasping]" "I did that a couple of years ago..." "and I got fucked." "[softly] I don't wanna get fucked." "You are a man of honor, and I will fix this." "I will fix it!" "...came out of the pool, and he was completely dry." "No way." "Hey, you guys." "I was just in the neighborhood." "It's so crazy." "You look so pretty, Sarah." "So do you, Tig." "Um..." "I heard you are in the new Judd movie." "So cool." "Hey, I was just wondering, could I have the part?" "Because you have everything." "You have a hot English boyfriend." "You're Jewish, which is so cool." "And I was just thinking, I need the part." "I really need it." "I'll make you a deal." "Find all 25 items on that 25-item scavenger hunt list in two hours, the part's yours." "[gasps] Okay, thank you, so..." "Why do you have a scavenger hunt list just lying around?" "Maria, I'm high all the time, what am I supposed to do?" "Yeah, I'm totally high right now." "Just hanging out." "I don't even have a line in this scene." "Okay." "Clock time starts... now!" "Whoa!" "Hedge!" "Okay... okay, this doesn't count!" "Start the clock now!" "I'm doing this for a scavenger hunt." "Just kidding!" "I'm a cop." "Whoa." "Good job." "Thank you." "[straining] [both grunting]" "[Maria panting] -[donkey braying]" "I did it." "I got all the items on the list, Sarah." "Samesies, Tig." "Holy shit, Maria, I was kidding." "[laughing]" "I was doing my patented" "Sarah Silverman deadpan, you know, "you can't tell if I'm being real or not" thing." "Oh, you bitches!" "[continues laughing]" "Maria, you can have the part." "I don't need it." "I'm a female comedian, AKA a billionaire, right, Tig?" "Yeah, we're all very rich." "Wait, are you doing your patented deadpan thing again?" "[cell phone dialing]" "Judd, Silverdog." "I'm out of the movie." "Hold on." "All yours, babe." "Judd!" "[stammers] Judd?" "[whispers] Thank you, Sarah." "Judd, it's Maria." "Yes, Sarah doesn't wanna do it." "8:00 a.m. table read." "Okay, I'll be there." "I love you so much!" "Thank you so much, Sarah." "Thank you." "I owe you forever." "God..." "I started out, I got a loaf coach, thinking I needed to slow down." "Now I realize" "I needed to learn how to take care of myself, you know, to be a mother to me." "[braying]" "[panting] May I?" "May I?" "Of course." "[Maria] Thank you." "See you mothers later!" "Whoa!" "Hedge!" "Edit this out!" "[donkey braying]" "No!" "I missed the table read." "Oh, I'm a failure." "[Bert] Stop, Maria." "You may have failed to attend the table read, but you succeeded in something of far greater importance." "You mothered yourself, and now you are rested."
