00:09:00,081 --> 00:09:01,791
You're picking me up, right?
175
00:09:01,791 --> 00:09:04,377
- [Harper] Gonna pick you up in the city.
- All right.
176
00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:07,755
- Hey, I'll see you in New York, okay?
- Okay. Bye-bye.
177
00:09:08,339 --> 00:09:09,840
[adventurous music playing]
178
00:09:16,722 --> 00:09:18,099
[engine starts]
179
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:35,449
[Harper] We have
16 days out there on the road.
180
00:09:35,449 --> 00:09:39,662
I'm sure a lot of things will come up,
but... it... it's weird.
181
00:09:39,662 --> 00:09:41,622
We are good friends. [chuckles]
182
00:09:42,373 --> 00:09:45,293
But are we?
Like, it's a weird thing to say.
183
00:09:46,168 --> 00:09:48,004
I was always Harper Steele.
184
00:09:48,004 --> 00:09:50,339
So Will was always
friends with Harper Steele.
185
00:09:50,881 --> 00:09:55,011
But there was this persona
that he was also friends with
186
00:09:55,011 --> 00:09:57,597
that I don't particularly like
or need right now.
187
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:59,849
Harper, I made it onto the flight.
188
00:09:59,849 --> 00:10:01,100
Um... [clicks tongue]
189
00:10:01,642 --> 00:10:03,227
All systems go.
190
00:10:03,227 --> 00:10:06,981
[Will] So many of us don't know
what the rules of engagement are.
191
00:10:06,981 --> 00:10:10,610
And in terms of our friendship
and our relationship,
192
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,820
it's... it's... it's uncharted waters.
193
00:10:13,863 --> 00:10:15,281
I'll see you later. Bye.
194
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:22,496
[Harper] I don't know why
he picked some weird spot.
195
00:10:22,496 --> 00:10:25,958
Maybe it's just a celebrity thing.
He doesn't like to be out in the open.
196
00:10:28,419 --> 00:10:30,588
What the fuck? Oh my God.
197
00:10:32,173 --> 00:10:33,007
[Will] Yeah.
198
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:35,217
You made it.
199
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:39,847
- [car door closes]
- Thanks for picking me up.
200
00:10:39,847 --> 00:10:42,350
- [Harper] What is this?
- Yeah. Van Cortlandt.
201
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:43,601
- Oh, that's--
- Remember?
202
00:10:43,601 --> 00:10:45,519
- [Harper] Oh, hey, old buddy.
- How are ya?
203
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:46,479
I do remember.
204
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:49,899
- Remember all our--
- Yeah, we golfed up here two times.
205
00:10:49,899 --> 00:10:51,901
I still have my... my card.
206
00:10:52,693 --> 00:10:54,403
My New York City golf permit.
207
00:10:54,403 --> 00:10:56,656
- [Harper] Wanna get in a round?
- Let's get in a round.
208
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:58,699
- [Harper] Okay. Oh Jesus.
- [laughing]
209
00:10:58,699 --> 00:11:01,661
- You look great, by the way.
- [Harper] Oh, hey, thank you.
210
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:02,912
I love your jacket.
211
00:11:02,912 --> 00:11:05,373
- I'm an expert packer.
- Oh yeah. That's--
212
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:08,125
- There we go.
- Yeah, no. That'll stay.
213
00:11:08,125 --> 00:11:09,251
[both chuckling]
214
00:11:10,044 --> 00:11:11,712
I can't wait to get in this.
215
00:11:13,881 --> 00:11:15,299
How does this baby handle?
216
00:11:15,299 --> 00:11:17,009
- [Harper] Uh, shittily.
- [laughs]
217
00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:20,429
- [Harper] It handles shittily.
- Shag carpet everywhere.
218
00:11:20,429 --> 00:11:22,723
- [Harper] So comfortable.
- Oh, it's so luxurious.
219
00:11:22,723 --> 00:11:25,184
- [Harper] So luxurious. Let's go.
- All right, let's go.
220
00:11:25,184 --> 00:11:27,103
["Amoreena" by Elton John playing]
221
00:11:36,904 --> 00:11:40,533
I'd say we're gonna leave the city,
but I wanna have breakfast with my kids,
222
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:42,702
and then we'll hit the road after that.
223
00:11:47,248 --> 00:11:51,210
[Will] I'm excited to see your kids again.
I haven't seen them in a long time.
224
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:52,169
[E] Hey!
225
00:11:52,169 --> 00:11:53,462
- [Harper] Hey!
- [Will] Hi, guys.
226
00:11:53,462 --> 00:11:55,840
- [E] Good morning.
- [Will] Good morning.
227
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,134
- [E] How you doing, buddy?
- Good to see ya.
228
00:11:58,134 --> 00:11:59,969
Emma, I haven't seen you...
When was the last...
229
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:03,889
I saw you at SNL one time, I think,
like, maybe three or four...
230
00:12:04,432 --> 00:12:06,684
- Before the pandemic.
- [Will] I met you even before that.
231
00:12:06,684 --> 00:12:08,686
- You guys were all super little.
- [Emma] Yeah.
232
00:12:08,686 --> 00:12:11,731
And at one point,
you brought out a little tiny saxophone?
233
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:12,648
- I did?
- Yeah.
234
00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:14,859
And you started doing a bit, like...
235
00:12:14,859 --> 00:12:16,902
[singing] ♪ Playing in a family band ♪
236
00:12:16,902 --> 00:12:18,028
- Really?
- And then--
237
00:12:18,028 --> 00:12:21,532
- I didn't know you could play.
- [Will] Then I played a little instrument.
238
00:12:21,532 --> 00:12:25,745
And you two just stared at us like,
"This is not funny, nor is it good."
239
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:28,038
[all laughing]
240
00:12:28,038 --> 00:12:30,249
- [Will] Now here's the dilemma.
- [Harper] Okay, uh-oh.
241
00:12:30,249 --> 00:12:31,834
- There's a Greek omelet.
- Yeah.
242
00:12:31,834 --> 00:12:33,502
And there's an Athenian omelet.
243
00:12:33,502 --> 00:12:35,004
- [Will] The--
- [giggling]
244
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:37,256
- [server] Hello. Take your order?
- Hello.
245
00:12:37,256 --> 00:12:38,758
- Yes.
- [server] What shall I get you?
246
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:42,136
- Okay.
- Do you have sis-- some tzatziki?
247
00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:44,054
- Yeah, we do.
- [Will] Oh!
248
00:12:44,054 --> 00:12:47,099
- It's a Greek diner.
- For the table. Tzatziki for the table.
249
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:49,226
- [Harper] No--
- No, not for the table.
250
00:12:49,226 --> 00:12:51,687
- [server] Thank you so much.
- Thank you. Thank you.
251
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,691
Um... uh... What... So...
252
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:58,235
I wanna be clear.
253
00:12:58,903 --> 00:13:01,155
Harper, you still... Harper's still Dad.
254
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:03,532
Harper's still Dad, still Pop.
255
00:13:03,532 --> 00:13:04,533
- [Will] Pop.
- Pop.
256
00:13:04,533 --> 00:13:06,118
But pronouns, she.
257
00:13:06,118 --> 00:13:07,453
- [E] She.
- [Emma] Yeah.
258
00:13:07,453 --> 00:13:10,706
Harper's still Dad because she said
she was Dad, you know?
259
00:13:10,706 --> 00:13:14,251
How... how did you give the news?
Did you guys all get together?
260
00:13:14,251 --> 00:13:15,544
- [Harper] No.
- No, email.
261
00:13:15,544 --> 00:13:16,837
- Just like you.
- Oh.
262
00:13:16,837 --> 00:13:19,256
I was at Popeyes.
I was picking up my biscuit.
263
00:13:19,256 --> 00:13:21,342
- [Will] Right.
- And I go, "Holy shit."
264
00:13:21,342 --> 00:13:23,385
- [Will] Holy shit.
-"I gotta pull over for this."
265
00:13:23,385 --> 00:13:27,556
[Emma] I mean, when the divorce happened,
we kind of knew a little bit.
266
00:13:27,556 --> 00:13:31,310
We got that note about... from Harper
about how we might find women's clothes.
267
00:13:31,310 --> 00:13:33,437
She was wearing women's clothes.
I was like, "Okay."
268
00:13:33,437 --> 00:13:38,609
And then after that, we got the full,
you know, "I'm using she/her pronouns."
269
00:13:38,609 --> 00:13:40,820
- [Will] Yeah.
- So it felt gradual to me.
270
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:42,238
It didn't feel like a shock.
271
00:13:42,238 --> 00:13:44,073
For the most part,
272
00:13:44,073 --> 00:13:46,408
you guys just took it in stride.
Or was it--
273
00:13:46,408 --> 00:13:49,036
- It was easy to accept immediately.
- [Will] Right.
274
00:13:49,036 --> 00:13:50,663
But, um, for me,
275
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:54,500
I think I had a moment of, like, um...
276
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:57,461
My dad was
my only sort of masculine representation,
277
00:13:57,461 --> 00:13:59,880
and so I sort of idolized that
in a weird way.
278
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,508
Still my dad, but I think, for me,
279
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:05,469
the only thing I lost
was that masculine figure,
280
00:14:05,469 --> 00:14:07,346
but you don't really need it.
281
00:14:08,556 --> 00:14:10,641
- [server] Food is here!
- [Will] Gorgeous.
282
00:14:10,641 --> 00:14:12,601
- You're gonna love it.
- [Will] You called it.
283
00:14:12,601 --> 00:14:16,063
- [server] And tza-tza-tza-tza...
- Yes. Everyone, get your own.
284
00:14:16,063 --> 00:14:18,858
- Yes! Tza... Yeah, tza-tza-tza...
- [server] Tzatziki!
285
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,276
[laughter]
286
00:14:20,276 --> 00:14:23,237
- [Will] Aah.
- [Harper] You guys know what we're doing?
287
00:14:23,737 --> 00:14:24,613
- Yeah.
- [Harper] Okay.
288
00:14:24,613 --> 00:14:27,616
Are you guys worried about me
on this trip at all?
289
00:14:28,284 --> 00:14:31,495
[child 1] I think I'm more worried
about your mental health.
290
00:14:31,495 --> 00:14:33,747
I'm more worried
about your physical safety.
291
00:14:33,747 --> 00:14:34,665
- [Harper] Yeah.
- Like...
292
00:14:34,665 --> 00:14:39,962
But also, the things you love scare me
sometimes. Being in the middle of nowhere.
293
00:14:39,962 --> 00:14:41,046
- Yeah.
- Especially--
294
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:44,008
I'm actually learning to be
a little more afraid of that stuff.
295
00:14:44,008 --> 00:14:45,676
After this transition, it's scary.
296
00:14:45,676 --> 00:14:48,262
I'll be honest, I wrestle with, like,
"Why am I doing this?"
297
00:14:48,262 --> 00:14:50,723
And, um, at first, I was like,
"I'm not gonna do it."
298
00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:53,142
And then I just started to think about,
299
00:14:53,142 --> 00:14:57,021
like, well, coming out
was really hard for me,
300
00:14:57,021 --> 00:15:00,107
and, um, it may be... stupid,
301
00:15:00,107 --> 00:15:04,612
but I felt like that might be a good way
for me to come out more, basically.
302
00:15:04,612 --> 00:15:05,654
- Yeah.
- [Harper] Like...
303
00:15:05,654 --> 00:15:08,198
Does it help to know I take jujitsu?
304
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:11,035
- Yeah.
- [Will] Twice a month.
305
00:15:11,035 --> 00:15:13,829
Could you demonstrate something
or send a video?
306
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:15,623
'Cause I... I... I don't see it,
307
00:15:15,623 --> 00:15:18,083
but I could... I guess I could see it, but...
308
00:15:18,083 --> 00:15:21,378
I usually don't like to do my practice
on a full stomach.
309
00:15:21,378 --> 00:15:22,421
- Okay.
- [Will] Yeah.
310
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:23,923
All right. Well...
311
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:25,674
- Yeah. Uh...
- [laughter]
312
00:15:26,508 --> 00:15:28,385
Yeah, we gotta get going, but I really--
313
00:15:28,385 --> 00:15:30,346
I could talk to you guys
on the phone tomorrow.
314
00:15:30,346 --> 00:15:31,931
- Yeah, sure.
- All right, yeah.

- I love you. Bye.

- Hey.

- I love you.
- I love you so much.

319
00:15:43,233 --> 00:15:46,612
- [Will] By the way, for the record...
- [Harper] Yeah, for the record.
320
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:48,989
I'm very excited
to be on this trip with you.
321
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:50,950
- Oh good. Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Oh yeah.
- Right?

Back to where it all started,
where we first met.
326
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:03,253
- Have you been back in the buil--
- No.
327
00:16:03,253 --> 00:16:04,296
Wow!
328
00:16:04,296 --> 00:16:08,467
By the way, when we see Lorne,
let's both hug him, like, way too long.

330
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:10,803
You can do that.
331
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:13,430
- You can do it too.
- Okay, all right.
332
00:16:13,430 --> 00:16:15,641
[both] Oh!

- Oh, look at this.

we went downstairs to lunch.

just something about the two of us

where we were
kind of on the same wavelength

in a lot of different ways--
364
00:17:42,686 --> 00:17:45,856
[Will] I do remember
I was trying to get to know everyone.
365
00:17:45,856 --> 00:17:48,692
And there was a group of people
looking at me or like,
366
00:17:48,692 --> 00:17:51,820
"We don't get what this guy does.
He doesn't seem that funny."

Will Ferrell was a dud.

I knew that Will was not the dud.
370
00:17:59,203 --> 00:18:01,663
[Will] You were just an ambassador for me

[Harper] We've been around each other

in a lot of circumstances
that are very strange.
376
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:16,386
My whole writing career,
my whole creative life,
377
00:18:16,887 --> 00:18:21,016
I performed as a character named Andrew.
That's the way I think about it, at least.
378
00:18:22,142 --> 00:18:26,605
And so coming out to my friends
was especially hard.
379
00:18:27,856 --> 00:18:31,652
And I really can't tell
if they think I'm Harper.
380
00:18:31,652 --> 00:18:34,947
I think they might think
that I'm still Andrew,
381
00:18:34,947 --> 00:18:36,323

I like truck stops.

And then I was driving down

456
00:21:47,014 --> 00:21:49,266

wet cardboard to me.

- Yeah.
- It sounded like, "Ugh. This is wrong."

- Wow.
- And I was like--

00:22:20,505 --> 00:22:24,301
- You literally had a visceral reaction.
- I did. I said it out loud.
468

I was saying them out loud.
I said, "Harper."

what would you do?

My real name is John William.
474
00:22:41,026 --> 00:22:44,112
- But my folks called me Will.
- Yeah.
475
00:22:44,112 --> 00:22:45,697
And I remember in first grade,
476
00:22:45,697 --> 00:22:50,410
there were six or seven kids
who either had the name Mike or Steve.
477
00:22:50,410 --> 00:22:51,328
Oh, okay.
478
00:22:51,328 --> 00:22:52,913
And I just was like, "Please."
479
00:22:52,913 --> 00:22:55,499
-"Why can't I be a Mike or a Steve?"
-"Or a Steve."
480
00:22:55,499 --> 00:22:59,002
- Those names were cool and tough.
-"Why do I have this weird name?"
481
00:22:59,002 --> 00:23:01,213
- And hard. Yeah. I would--
- Like Steve.
482
00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:02,297
"What's up, Steve?"
483
00:23:02,297 --> 00:23:03,423

Ooh, I'm nervous.
499
00:23:44,631 --> 00:23:45,882
[Harper] Yeah, me too.
500
00:23:45,882 --> 00:23:49,261
The next 15 minutes, we could be
talking with President Joe Biden.
501
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:52,889
- How do you think we're getting in there?
- 'Cause of this.
502
00:23:53,432 --> 00:23:54,433
- The moneymaker.
- Yeah.
503
00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:57,811
Is the president in there?
We just wanna say hi to the president.
504
00:23:57,811 --> 00:23:59,354
Hey! Joe!
505
00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:01,231
No, no, he's not there.
506
00:24:01,815 --> 00:24:03,775
["Wires" continues playing]
507
00:24:05,861 --> 00:24:08,363
[Harper] You know, for years,
I crossed this country in a dress,
508
00:24:08,363 --> 00:24:09,906
but I never let anyone see me.
509
00:24:11,116 --> 00:24:12,909
So if I had to get out and get gas,
510
00:24:12,909 --> 00:24:16,329
there's this furtive,
and embarrassing, and hurried attempt
511
00:24:16,329 --> 00:24:18,165
to throw on
a pair of overalls or something.
512
00:24:18,165 --> 00:24:20,500
- And look like a guy and--
- [Will] Yeah.
513
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:23,462
[Harper] I used to bring
an emergency set of clothes with me.
514
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:26,798
The fear of having a cop pull me over
for a speeding ticket...
515
00:24:26,798 --> 00:24:27,716
[siren wails]
516
00:24:27,716 --> 00:24:29,050
...and be dressed as a woman was...
517
00:24:29,050 --> 00:24:30,469
- It was horrible.
- [Will] Right.
518
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:31,761
[Harper] Now... [chuckles]
519
00:24:31,761 --> 00:24:33,972
...going out into the world just as me,
520
00:24:33,972 --> 00:24:38,268
without any chance
of going stealth as Andrew again,
521
00:24:38,894 --> 00:24:43,315
I will see the country that I love
as myself, which I've never done.
522
00:24:43,315 --> 00:24:45,567
[poignant music playing]
523
00:24:51,781 --> 00:24:55,785
If you don't mind, I'm gonna take a second
here to look through some old journals.
524
00:24:55,785 --> 00:24:56,912
Okay.
525
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:00,707
Whoa, look at your journals.
526
00:25:01,875 --> 00:25:03,752
When did you start journaling?
527
00:25:03,752 --> 00:25:07,964
It wasn't till I felt
my life was kind of falling apart.
528
00:25:07,964 --> 00:25:12,177
And this one, uh,
it's called "Journal Number One."
529
00:25:12,177 --> 00:25:15,555
It's called
"Unmentionables and Other Private Stuff."
530
00:25:17,057 --> 00:25:19,392
[Will] Why did you type it
instead of longhand?
531
00:25:19,392 --> 00:25:23,063
[Harper] I did it
because I wanted to just put it down.
532
00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:25,357
- Bad writing and all. Mistakes.
- [Will] Yeah.
533
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:27,484
- Run-ons.
- [Harper] All kinds of mistakes, yeah.
534
00:25:27,484 --> 00:25:32,447
- [Will] Stream of consciousness, yeah.
- This one's about my therapist.
535
00:25:33,782 --> 00:25:36,201
"My therapist today
batted down my silly notion
536
00:25:36,201 --> 00:25:38,411
that I might be a girl instead of a boy."
537
00:25:38,411 --> 00:25:40,330
- [Will] Wow.
-"She's not buying it."
538
00:25:40,330 --> 00:25:42,832
"At one point,
she said I was living in fantasy."
539
00:25:42,832 --> 00:25:43,750
[Will] Wow.
540
00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:46,670
[Harper] "The weird feelings
of sickness and dread I described to her
541
00:25:46,670 --> 00:25:50,090
while I'm dressed in my male clothes
didn't make any sense to her."
542
00:25:50,590 --> 00:25:53,969
"She needed me to describe the feelings
to her, which I couldn't."
543
00:25:53,969 --> 00:25:56,263
"She seemed to think
dressing up like a woman
544
00:25:56,263 --> 00:25:59,182
has a lot of defiance and anger in it."
545
00:25:59,182 --> 00:26:00,725
"She's got a theory."
546
00:26:00,725 --> 00:26:03,478
"I, on the other hand,
am losing faith in theories."
547
00:26:04,521 --> 00:26:08,191
- Let's see. That's seven years ago.
- [Will] Wow.
548
00:26:13,446 --> 00:26:15,365
[poignant music fades]
549
00:26:15,365 --> 00:26:18,201
- [Harper] I'll get snacks. You get chairs.
- All righty.
550
00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:20,495
[distant quacking]
551
00:26:22,831 --> 00:26:25,667
[quacking, squawking]
552
00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:35,051
[Will] You got us a lot of stuff.
553
00:26:35,051 --> 00:26:37,929
Well, we're on the road, buddy.
Pringles. You like Pringles?
554
00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:41,099
- I do. I love Pringles.
- I didn't know which Pringles you liked.
555
00:26:41,099 --> 00:26:43,310
You ready for this one? Fuego.
556
00:26:43,310 --> 00:26:44,436
[snickering] Okay.
557
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:45,520
[both chuckling]
558
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,733
- I am not having Fuego Pringles.
- Yeah, you are. Yeah. Yeah, you are.
559
00:26:49,733 --> 00:26:51,568
Oh, Scorchin' BBQ.
560
00:26:51,568 --> 00:26:52,819
[both chuckling]
561
00:26:52,819 --> 00:26:56,156
- Oh, part of the Scorchin' line.
- That's-- Oh yeah. The whole Sco--
562
00:26:56,156 --> 00:26:58,450
- [Will] We've gotta ration these.
- [both laugh]
563
00:26:58,450 --> 00:27:00,619
'Cause we may never
run into another Walmart.
564
00:27:00,619 --> 00:27:02,912
[Will] 'Cause in case
we have a... a flat tire,
565
00:27:02,912 --> 00:27:03,997
we gotta ration.
566
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:05,332
[Harper] Yeah, exactly.
567
00:27:07,375 --> 00:27:10,462
Uh, I was gonna ask you
'cause I was thinking about it. Um...
568
00:27:11,212 --> 00:27:16,718
Were you a little worried about
how to talk to me when I came out to you?
569
00:27:20,388 --> 00:27:24,017
Sometimes, I think
that... people who aren't trans,
570
00:27:24,017 --> 00:27:27,479
I think they're sometimes afraid
to say the wrong thing around me.
571
00:27:27,479 --> 00:27:29,481
- That's what I'm getting at.
- [Will] Yeah.
572
00:27:29,481 --> 00:27:31,775
And I didn't know when I first saw you,
573
00:27:31,775 --> 00:27:35,320
and I was just curious
if there was anything there that--
574
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,447
I probably was...
575
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:41,660
um...
576
00:27:42,952 --> 00:27:45,580
- Yeah, probably a little nervous.
- [Harper] Okay.
577
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:47,707
- [Will] In the sense--
- I mean, I was nervous.
578
00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:50,293
- I'm in a dress.
- Yes.
579
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,961
It's like... That was terrifying.
580
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:57,842
Yeah, I... I... I guess I was...
I was worried about what... If there...
581
00:27:57,842 --> 00:27:59,678
What the new ground rules were.
582
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:02,389
- [Harper] Okay, yeah.
- If there were any.
583
00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:06,059
- [Harper] Yeah.
- Uh, if it was... um...
584
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:09,354
You know.
585
00:28:11,064 --> 00:28:15,527
Yeah, just how much
had quote/unquote changed,
586
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:17,821
or was the same or what, you know.
587
00:28:17,821 --> 00:28:20,782
[Harper] Yeah, that's a difficult one,
the changing and the sameness and--
588
00:28:20,782 --> 00:28:23,034
There are no ground rules with friends,
I'm telling you.
589
00:28:23,034 --> 00:28:24,369
That's what I need you to know.
590
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:25,787
- But that's what--
- Yeah.
591
00:28:25,787 --> 00:28:29,499
- You immediately put me at ease.
- Yeah.
592
00:28:29,499 --> 00:28:33,503
Yeah, I don't... Well, 'cause I...
'cause I know there's no ill intention.
593
00:28:33,503 --> 00:28:37,006
So whatever you say,
I could not possibly be angry.
594
00:28:37,632 --> 00:28:39,175
- Yeah.
- [Harper] Um...
595
00:28:40,677 --> 00:28:43,054
What else did I get here, buddy?
I got more Pringles.
596
00:28:43,054 --> 00:28:44,639
Philly Cheesesteak.

[Will chuckles]
598
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:49,144
- [man] Man! You're the man!
- [Harper] What about the woman?
599
00:28:49,144 --> 00:28:50,478
What about the woman?
600
00:28:50,979 --> 00:28:53,815
- You're still the woman.
- [Will] Yes! Still the woman! Yeah!
601
00:28:53,815 --> 00:28:55,358
- [man] Whoo!
- Whoo!
602
00:28:55,358 --> 00:28:58,153
- [man laughs]
- ["Wildflowers" by Tom Petty playing]

[engine starts]
604
00:28:59,487 --> 00:29:01,448
[Harper] Oh, there she goes. Gah!
605
00:29:01,448 --> 00:29:04,951
- [Will chuckles] She's back in business.
- Back in business, oh yeah.
606
00:29:07,412 --> 00:29:08,413
Is there some reason
607
00:29:08,413 --> 00:29:10,999
why we're not stopping
at greasy diners every morning?
608
00:29:10,999 --> 00:29:14,586
- [Will] I don't know.
- It's my favorite kind of restaurant.
609
00:29:15,462 --> 00:29:18,423
The mecca. We are in the mecca.
610
00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:20,675
Hey there.
611
00:29:21,176 --> 00:29:24,095
- [Will] Hi, how are you? Thank you.
- [server] Sit wherever you like.
612
00:29:24,804 --> 00:29:26,222
[Will] Kimberly, you like it all?
613
00:29:26,222 --> 00:29:29,142
- Our best one is, we got the All-Star.
- Yeah.
614
00:29:29,142 --> 00:29:32,103
- Done deal. That's what I'm getting.
- Two eggs, wheat, white, raisin toast.
615
00:29:32,103 --> 00:29:35,607
Bacon, ham, or sausage.
You get a waffle or a biscuit and gravy.
616
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:36,941
- Two of those.
- Absolutely.
617
00:29:36,941 --> 00:29:38,693
- Wait.
- No, no, no, no, I'm just kidding.
618
00:29:39,527 --> 00:29:40,862
And how about you, sir?
619
00:29:41,863 --> 00:29:42,739
- Ma'am.
- Ma'am.
620
00:29:42,739 --> 00:29:45,074
- [Kimberly] Ma'am. I am so sorry.
- That's okay.
621
00:29:45,074 --> 00:29:48,953
Ah, but that's quite all right.
I'm gonna get the, um, All-Star Special.
622
00:29:48,953 --> 00:29:51,748
All right. Thank you very much.
And I'll take your menus.
623
00:29:51,748 --> 00:29:52,957
- You're welcome.
- Great.
624
00:29:52,957 --> 00:29:53,875
[Kimberly] Yeah.
625
00:29:55,126 --> 00:29:56,252
I have an order.
626
00:29:56,252 --> 00:30:00,298
I don't like being misgendered that much,
but what can I do, pal?
627
00:30:01,424 --> 00:30:04,260
- It's, uh...
- [Harper] You know what?
628
00:30:04,260 --> 00:30:05,595
It's gonna ha-- I mean--
629
00:30:05,595 --> 00:30:08,056
It is gonna happen.
You know what you should do?
630
00:30:08,056 --> 00:30:11,392
You should go, "What do you want,
little lady who's a woman?"
631
00:30:11,392 --> 00:30:14,604
- Huh. "And for the little lady."
- [Harper] "Now for the little lady--"
632
00:30:14,604 --> 00:30:16,356
- You don't have to.
- The little lady.
633
00:30:16,356 --> 00:30:18,983
- [Kimberly] Who has wheat?
- Uh, I got the white.
634
00:30:18,983 --> 00:30:20,985
- I got the wheat.
- Wheat? There you go.
635
00:30:21,986 --> 00:30:25,240
You excited for the game tonight,
by the way?
636
00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:27,992
I'm excited. But I'll be honest.
637
00:30:27,992 --> 00:30:31,788
Walking through all those bros
in a bro-ey environment
638
00:30:31,788 --> 00:30:34,374
has been my hardest part of my--
639
00:30:34,374 --> 00:30:37,168
- Right.
- My, um, transition.
640
00:30:37,168 --> 00:30:39,546
I was that person.
I went to basketball games.
641
00:30:39,546 --> 00:30:41,464
- I know... I know the culture.
- Right.
642
00:30:41,464 --> 00:30:43,216
And I'm gonna go back in that culture,
643
00:30:43,216 --> 00:30:46,845
and there's a lot of that still in me
that does not like what's happening.
644
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:50,265
- [Will] Yeah.
- And I'm not totally comfortable with it.
645
00:30:50,265 --> 00:30:51,808
[suspenseful music playing]
646
00:30:51,808 --> 00:30:53,560
- [Will] Here we go.
- Here we go.
647
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,604
[Harper] When I walk
into that basketball stadium...
648
00:30:56,604 --> 00:30:58,982
- You look fantastic.
- [Harper] Oh, thank you.
649
00:30:58,982 --> 00:31:01,192
- [Will] I love the jacket.
- I worked on it.
650
00:31:01,192 --> 00:31:04,737
...I am a woman,
and that's how I need to be seen.
651
00:31:04,737 --> 00:31:08,533
But I'm not sure...
It's just they may not see me that way.
652
00:31:09,033 --> 00:31:10,451
This is an odd thing to say.
653
00:31:10,451 --> 00:31:12,620
- I may not see myself that way.
- Mm-hmm.
654
00:31:12,620 --> 00:31:14,289
[Harper] But you sort of running point
655
00:31:14,289 --> 00:31:17,417
makes this a fuck of a lot easier
than if I was just alone,
656
00:31:17,417 --> 00:31:20,086
and I gotta keep that in mind
throughout this trip.
657
00:31:20,086 --> 00:31:23,464
'Cause, obviously,
I'm getting a little free pass here,
658
00:31:23,464 --> 00:31:25,884
but I'm not saying
it's not gonna be difficult.
659
00:31:25,884 --> 00:31:27,927
[suspenseful music continues]
660
00:31:33,975 --> 00:31:38,146
[Harper] I gotta tell you,
we've been to a lot of Laker games.
661
00:31:38,146 --> 00:31:39,063
[Will] Yeah.
662
00:31:39,063 --> 00:31:42,984
[Harper] I've never seen Jack Nicholson,
I've never seen Leonardo DiCaprio,
663
00:31:42,984 --> 00:31:45,904
I've never seen Vince Vaughn
at a basketball game
664
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:47,739
sitting next to their trans friend.
665
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:50,783
- [Will] Right.
- [Harper] I've just never seen it myself.
666
00:31:51,409 --> 00:31:53,453
[buzzer sounds]
667
00:31:56,664 --> 00:31:57,540
[player 1] Yo!
668
00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:02,253
It's so complicated
because I used sports all the time
669
00:32:03,379 --> 00:32:07,634
to let people know that I was not a woman.
670
00:32:08,635 --> 00:32:13,598
I mean, not that women can't like sports,
but I was trying to... you know...
671
00:32:14,265 --> 00:32:17,143
- Yeah, try-- You were always-- Yeah.
- I was trying to be that guy.
672
00:32:17,143 --> 00:32:19,145
[Harper] By doing that all the time,
673
00:32:19,145 --> 00:32:21,564
I did learn a lot about sports,
674
00:32:21,564 --> 00:32:24,025
and I do kind of like it. [chuckles]
675
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,986
[buzzer sounds]
676
00:32:26,986 --> 00:32:28,696
- [Will] Oh!
- [cheering]
677
00:32:28,696 --> 00:32:30,198
- Yeah!
- Yes!
678
00:32:31,115 --> 00:32:32,283
Wow.
679
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:35,244
[announcer] All right, Pacer fans,
I need you to cheer.
680
00:32:35,244 --> 00:32:37,121
- I got a special guest.
- [cheering]
681
00:32:37,622 --> 00:32:40,124
Let me hear you, Pacer fans!
682
00:32:40,124 --> 00:32:41,876
[cheering, whistling]
683
00:32:41,876 --> 00:32:43,670
What do we think of the Sixers?
684
00:32:43,670 --> 00:32:45,213
[Pacer fans booing]
685
00:32:45,213 --> 00:32:47,173
What do we think of the Pacers?
686
00:32:47,173 --> 00:32:48,341
[Pacer fans cheering]
687
00:32:48,341 --> 00:32:50,510
- Sixers!
- [Pacer fans booing]
688
00:32:50,510 --> 00:32:54,138
- Pacers!
- [Pacer fans cheering, whistling]
689
00:32:54,138 --> 00:32:57,600
I wanna thank you, Indianapolis.
I'm here with my friend Harper Steele.
690
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,686
- She just transitioned.
- Wait, we're off. We're off.
691
00:32:59,686 --> 00:33:01,771
- [woman shouting indistinctly]
- [Harper] We're off.
692
00:33:01,771 --> 00:33:04,232
Indy, you've showed us nothing but love.
693
00:33:04,232 --> 00:33:06,484
- [chuckles] We're off.
- Thank you!
694
00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:07,777
[man] Woo-hoo!
695
00:33:08,945 --> 00:33:11,322
[commentator 1]
Great to see Will Ferrell here.
696
00:33:11,864 --> 00:33:13,199
Uh, there's the governor.
697
00:33:13,199 --> 00:33:16,035
[commentator 2] Just over there,
kinda trying to get him off the court
698
00:33:16,035 --> 00:33:17,662
so we can start the game.
699
00:33:18,705 --> 00:33:22,208
So you're working your way across
the country? How do you end up here?
700
00:33:22,208 --> 00:33:24,877
[Will] Harper and I
have known each other for 30 years,
701
00:33:24,877 --> 00:33:28,131
and we're, uh,
we're going across the country.
702
00:33:28,798 --> 00:33:32,176
- To basketball field houses or anything?
- No, this was just--
703
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,805
This is our first
professional sporting event
704
00:33:35,805 --> 00:33:37,432
since Harper's transition.
705
00:33:37,432 --> 00:33:41,227
So the Pacers were nice enough
to allow us access.
706
00:33:41,227 --> 00:33:44,272
[commentator 1] Pacers have the ball
to start the quarter up one.
707
00:33:47,150 --> 00:33:49,902
- [fans whistling, cheering]
- [man] Oh man, it's started.
708
00:33:50,403 --> 00:33:52,822
Wait, was that the governor of this state?
709
00:33:52,822 --> 00:33:53,740
Mm-hmm.
710
00:33:57,118 --> 00:33:58,286
What's his name?
711
00:34:01,664 --> 00:34:02,582
Eric Holcomb.
712
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:04,876
- Holcomb?
- Yep.
713
00:34:04,876 --> 00:34:06,085
Where do you see that?
714
00:34:06,085 --> 00:34:07,754
[solemn music playing]
715
00:34:07,754 --> 00:34:10,423
[reporter 1] We start
with breaking news out of Indianapolis
716
00:34:10,423 --> 00:34:13,342
as Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb
signs a bill
717
00:34:13,342 --> 00:34:16,387
banning all gender-affirming care
for minors...
718
00:34:16,387 --> 00:34:19,807
[reporter 2] A number of bills relating
to health care, access to bathrooms...
719
00:34:19,807 --> 00:34:23,811
[reporter 3] More than 70 LGBTQ bills
have been filed in the Texas legislature.
720
00:34:23,811 --> 00:34:25,772
[reporter 4] ...makes Kansas the 20th state...
721
00:34:25,772 --> 00:34:28,524
[reporter 5] North Dakota's governor
signed a bill into law...
722
00:34:28,524 --> 00:34:31,694
[reporter 6] ...provide a legal definition
of sex across the Tennessee code.
723
00:34:31,694 --> 00:34:34,530
[reporter 7] ...law would
"preserve biological sex as a distinct..."
724
00:34:34,530 --> 00:34:39,744
[reporter 8] Transgenderism must be
eradicated from public life entirely.
725
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:41,162
[solemn music continues]
726
00:34:46,751 --> 00:34:49,420
- [Will] Here's where I dropped the ball.
- [Harper] Oh, okay.
727
00:34:49,420 --> 00:34:54,383
I obviously didn't anticipate
meeting the governor of Indiana.
728
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:55,468
Oh, yeah.
729
00:34:55,468 --> 00:34:58,429
- And I... He asked what we were doing.
- Right.
730
00:34:58,429 --> 00:35:01,390
And we told him,
and he seemed... he seemed to---
731
00:35:01,390 --> 00:35:03,142
- Okay with that.
- Be, "Oh, great."
732
00:35:03,142 --> 00:35:06,521
And I... I wish I had
the wherewithal to go, like,
733
00:35:06,521 --> 00:35:09,232
"What's your stance on trans people?"
734
00:35:09,232 --> 00:35:10,191
Or "What's..."
735
00:35:10,191 --> 00:35:12,443
I actually didn't know
he was the governor,
736
00:35:12,443 --> 00:35:15,530
and then, later in the conversation,
someone said something--
737
00:35:15,530 --> 00:35:18,366
And I did. I heard, like,
"I want you to meet the governor."
738
00:35:18,366 --> 00:35:20,159
- Oh!
- And I'm like, "Oh."
739
00:35:20,159 --> 00:35:21,994
This must happen to you a lot.
740
00:35:22,578 --> 00:35:24,622
The photo you don't wanna be in.
741
00:35:24,622 --> 00:35:25,665
[Will] Yeah.
742
00:35:25,665 --> 00:35:27,917
- I don't get that very often.
- [Will] Right.
743
00:35:27,917 --> 00:35:32,004
And someone comes in, and there's
someone down there on the floor snapping.
744
00:35:32,004 --> 00:35:33,798
"This person's with Will Ferrell."
745
00:35:33,798 --> 00:35:36,509
But then I'm in this photo
with this governor,
746
00:35:36,509 --> 00:35:38,469
and I don't know his politics.
747
00:35:38,469 --> 00:35:40,346
- Right.
- And, uh, I mean...
748
00:35:40,346 --> 00:35:42,640
- That was the thing. That was...
- No--
749
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,100
That was my negative take--
750
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:46,561
That was the one place
where I was like, "I should've..."
751
00:35:46,561 --> 00:35:49,564
Just to see what he happened to say.
752
00:35:50,314 --> 00:35:51,149
Yeah.
753
00:35:51,774 --> 00:35:53,943
[Will] So walking into that arena...
754
00:35:53,943 --> 00:35:54,861
Yeah.
755
00:35:55,361 --> 00:35:57,155
- 20,000 people, right?
- Yeah.
756
00:35:57,155 --> 00:35:58,573
[Will] How did that feel?
757
00:35:59,699 --> 00:36:03,369
I know that all of this
is going to make it easier for me
758
00:36:03,369 --> 00:36:05,538
to walk into these kind of places later.
759
00:36:06,122 --> 00:36:07,456
I did it. It's done.
760
00:36:07,456 --> 00:36:11,335
I'm sort of looking for some of that
a little bit more on this trip.
761
00:36:11,335 --> 00:36:16,215
Like, I'm gonna have to peel off
a few times and just--
762
00:36:16,215 --> 00:36:18,551
- [Will] Sure.
- So I can feel what it feels like.
763
00:36:18,551 --> 00:36:19,635
By yourself, right?
764
00:36:19,635 --> 00:36:21,345
- Yeah, of course.
- Yeah.
765
00:36:21,345 --> 00:36:23,055
[pensive country music playing]
766
00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:29,395
[Harper] It's fascinating to me.
767
00:36:29,395 --> 00:36:32,565
There's so many trans people out here
all around the country,
768
00:36:32,565 --> 00:36:34,817
living their lives in these places.
769
00:36:34,817 --> 00:36:35,735
[Will] Yeah.
770
00:36:36,402 --> 00:36:37,737
[Harper] To me,
771
00:36:37,737 --> 00:36:41,699
connecting with more people like that
would be something I would like to do.
772
00:36:43,075 --> 00:36:44,493
Oh, we're heading to Peoria.
773
00:36:44,493 --> 00:36:47,705
There's, uh, a woman there
we're gonna meet named Dana Garber,
774
00:36:47,705 --> 00:36:50,208
who, um, transitioned later in life,
775
00:36:50,708 --> 00:36:56,464
and she has been deeply involved
in the trans community in Peoria,
776
00:36:56,464 --> 00:36:57,882
which is fascinating to me
777
00:36:57,882 --> 00:36:59,508
because I did not know...
778
00:36:59,508 --> 00:37:00,426
Of course.
779
00:37:00,426 --> 00:37:01,969
...any trans people growing up.
780
00:37:01,969 --> 00:37:02,887
Yeah.
781
00:37:08,726 --> 00:37:11,145
[Harper] Thanks for having us
in your city, in Peoria.
782
00:37:11,145 --> 00:37:12,313
[Dana] Yeah.
783
00:37:12,313 --> 00:37:13,940
Are you from here originally?
784
00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:16,317
- Yeah, this is Pekin right here.
- [Will] Okay.
785
00:37:16,317 --> 00:37:18,110
And I've been here my whole life.
786
00:37:18,110 --> 00:37:19,028
- Oh wow.
- [Dana] Yep.
787
00:37:19,862 --> 00:37:22,031
[Harper] Did you transition like me?
788
00:37:22,031 --> 00:37:23,407
Ki-- I'm 61. So...
789
00:37:23,407 --> 00:37:25,368
- And I'm 65.
- [Harper] Okay.
790
00:37:25,368 --> 00:37:29,205
I started... I came out to my family
when I was 55.
791
00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:30,873
Okay. Wow. Okay, so it's--
792
00:37:30,873 --> 00:37:32,875
- [Will] So very similar to Harper.
- [Dana] Yeah.
793
00:37:32,875 --> 00:37:37,463
I know from my own experience,
but I'm gonna guess that was really tough.
794
00:37:38,089 --> 00:37:39,757
- Yeah. [chuckles]
- [Harper] Yeah.
795
00:37:40,258 --> 00:37:43,928
Yes. So I knew a long time ago
that, you know,
796
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:46,847
that I should have been a girl.
797
00:37:46,847 --> 00:37:48,849
On my first day of kindergarten,
798
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:52,103
I walked in and I sat down with the girls.
799
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:55,273
So the teacher's talking about
class rules, you know.
800
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:57,608
- Yeah.
- So she took us to potty.
801
00:37:57,608 --> 00:37:59,068
And I got in the girls' line.
802
00:37:59,068 --> 00:38:01,570
She grabbed me by the hand
and said, "No, baby."
803
00:38:01,570 --> 00:38:04,156
"You gotta go in the boys' line.
You're a boy."
804
00:38:05,074 --> 00:38:07,285
And everybody started making fun of me.
805
00:38:07,285 --> 00:38:09,287
So I got, like, a panic attack,
806
00:38:09,287 --> 00:38:12,248
and I went in the bathroom,
threw up and everything.
807
00:38:12,248 --> 00:38:15,084
And the teacher came in there,
like, "Are you sick?"
808
00:38:15,084 --> 00:38:17,545
And she called my mom,
and my mom came and got me.
809
00:38:17,545 --> 00:38:21,340
And I... I told her what had happened.
And she said, "Honey, you're a boy."
810
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:25,136
"You can't go in there with the girls.
You got different body parts and stuff."
811
00:38:25,136 --> 00:38:27,346
- And I didn't know that, you know?
- [Harper] Right.
812
00:38:27,346 --> 00:38:29,098
It wasn't about body parts.
813
00:38:29,765 --> 00:38:32,059
You know,
it was about who I am in here, so...
814
00:38:32,059 --> 00:38:35,021
You know, it's like,
what was wrong with me, you know?
815
00:38:35,021 --> 00:38:39,191
I used to pray to Jesus
every night when I was in grade school,
816
00:38:39,191 --> 00:38:42,820
you know, fix me or kill me,
one or the other, you know?
817
00:38:42,820 --> 00:38:44,322
- It was horrible.
- [Harper] Yeah.
818
00:38:44,322 --> 00:38:47,241
[Dana] It was like,
"Why am I like this?" You know?
819
00:38:47,241 --> 00:38:48,868
[gentle music playing]
820
00:38:49,702 --> 00:38:54,749
Got in a really bad place mentally,
and I got pretty suicidal for a while.
821
00:38:54,749 --> 00:38:57,001
- [Harper] Yeah.
- And I thought the only way...
822
00:38:57,501 --> 00:38:59,879
I thought,
"I don't really wanna die," you know,
823
00:38:59,879 --> 00:39:03,424
"but I don't
wanna go on like this either."
824
00:39:03,424 --> 00:39:05,843
So that's when I started counseling,
825
00:39:05,843 --> 00:39:09,138
and my counselor was really awesome.
826
00:39:09,138 --> 00:39:13,476
She's more like, "If you wanna do this,
then try it," you know?
827
00:39:14,143 --> 00:39:18,689
Because I wasn't living
my auth... authenticity, you know? So...
828
00:39:18,689 --> 00:39:19,607
[Harper] Yeah.
829
00:39:19,607 --> 00:39:23,986
Um... Now, my experience was that I had a...
kind of not a good therapist.
830
00:39:23,986 --> 00:39:26,030
- You know how that works sometimes.
- Yeah.
831
00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:28,157
And, uh, much later,
832
00:39:28,157 --> 00:39:30,993
I got a... a better-- A gender therapist,
833
00:39:30,993 --> 00:39:32,536
and we kept talking.
834
00:39:32,536 --> 00:39:35,289
And it was still a year,
but once I got to...
835
00:39:35,289 --> 00:39:37,792
my est... my first estrogen pill...
836
00:39:37,792 --> 00:39:39,001
This is silly to me.
837
00:39:39,001 --> 00:39:40,544
- I'm sure any person...
- [Dana chuckles]
838
00:39:40,544 --> 00:39:42,838
But that first estrogen pill
is like, "Ta-da!"
839
00:39:42,838 --> 00:39:45,216
"Magic! Ah, this is
the most amazing feeling."
840
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:47,426
- You're not feeling anything for months.
- Wow.
841
00:39:47,426 --> 00:39:50,429
But I just like...
mentally, I was just like... like,
842
00:39:50,429 --> 00:39:53,265
"Why did I wait so long?
I love this." You know?
843
00:39:53,265 --> 00:39:54,767
- [Dana] Me too.
- [Harper] Yeah.
844
00:39:57,353 --> 00:40:02,441
[Will] Have you faced hate
in this community at times, or--
845
00:40:02,441 --> 00:40:04,527
[Dana] I think I've had a few incidents.
846
00:40:04,527 --> 00:40:07,321
My voice gets me misgendered a lot,
and I just--
847
00:40:07,321 --> 00:40:09,907
- [Harper] I hate-- I hate the voice.
- [Will] You hate your voice.
848
00:40:09,907 --> 00:40:12,910
- I really do like passing.
- [Dana] Yeah.
849
00:40:12,910 --> 00:40:17,081
[Harper] And I would love to pass.
I just... The voice was killing me.
850
00:40:17,081 --> 00:40:22,169
I don't really want
this low, male voice, you know?
851
00:40:22,169 --> 00:40:24,713
I... I did that, too, for a while, you know.
852
00:40:24,713 --> 00:40:27,508
- I went to this vocal therapy course.
- [Harper] Yeah.
853
00:40:27,508 --> 00:40:29,927
[Dana] Sat down one night,
and I'm really thinking,
854
00:40:30,594 --> 00:40:33,639
was I doing this for me
or for society, you know?
855
00:40:33,639 --> 00:40:34,974
[Will] Wow, right, right.
856
00:40:34,974 --> 00:40:38,144
And I... No, I'm doing it
for everybody else but me.

00:46:28,577 --> 00:46:31,371
- [Eleanor] Good to see you.
- This is my friend Will Ferrell.
987
00:46:31,371 --> 00:46:32,998
- Hi, Will.
- [Will] How are you?
988
00:46:33,499 --> 00:46:35,501
Oh, should this be a housewarming gift?
989
00:46:36,001 --> 00:46:37,878
[Eleanor] Oh, thank you.
990
00:46:39,046 --> 00:46:41,381
- [Will] Do you like Pringles?
- [Eleanor] I love Pringles.
991
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,635
All right, just around the corner.
992
00:46:44,635 --> 00:46:47,095
[Harper] Okay.
Bathroom in there, by the way.
993
00:46:47,971 --> 00:46:49,932
- Thank you. This is great.
- [Harper] Yeah.
994
00:46:50,432 --> 00:46:53,769
Eleanor, what was your reaction
when you got the news?
995
00:46:53,769 --> 00:46:55,187
I was totally surprised.
996
00:46:55,687 --> 00:46:56,522
Um...
997
00:46:57,272 --> 00:47:02,194
And I think my reaction was... sorrow.
998
00:47:02,694 --> 00:47:03,779
[Will] Uh-huh.
999
00:47:03,779 --> 00:47:05,864
And the reason I felt sorrow
1000
00:47:05,864 --> 00:47:11,870
was I thought about how much pain
Harper must have suffered over the years.
1001
00:47:12,579 --> 00:47:15,123
And also knowing, like, immediately
1002
00:47:15,123 --> 00:47:18,126
how stressful that moment was
of coming out.
1003
00:47:18,877 --> 00:47:23,465
And so the most important thing to me
was not to be so careful in my response
1004
00:47:23,465 --> 00:47:24,967
but to respond quickly.
1005
00:47:24,967 --> 00:47:25,884
You did.
1006
00:47:25,884 --> 00:47:29,388
So she knew
it's not something I need to think about.
1007
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:31,598
- I'll talk to you more later.
- [Will] Yeah.
1008
00:47:31,598 --> 00:47:35,978
I think what you said,
which was so... heartening...
1009
00:47:35,978 --> 00:47:39,064
[chuckles] ...was, "Oh good.
I've always wanted a sister."
1010
00:47:39,565 --> 00:47:41,775
- I did say that, yeah.
- [Harper] That's what you said.
1011
00:47:41,775 --> 00:47:43,193
Pow. Just like that.
1012
00:47:43,777 --> 00:47:47,739
I was gonna tell a funny story,
though, because I always think of this.
1013
00:47:47,739 --> 00:47:49,992
I think it was around eighth grade.
1014
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:55,455
Eleanor gave me a pair of her bell-bottoms
that she didn't want anymore,
1015
00:47:55,455 --> 00:47:58,292
and they were white, frilly bell-bottoms.
1016
00:47:58,792 --> 00:48:02,462
And once I got 'em,
they were my favorite article of clothing.
1017
00:48:02,462 --> 00:48:04,339
I wore them all around. I loved them.
1018
00:48:04,339 --> 00:48:07,885
And I went to the skate park
with my skate friends.
1019
00:48:07,885 --> 00:48:08,886
- [Will] Yeah.
- Uh...
1020
00:48:08,886 --> 00:48:12,472
And we skated around that night,
and I was feeling good in my white--
1021
00:48:12,472 --> 00:48:14,683
- [Will] In your white bell-bottoms.
- My bell-bottoms.
1022
00:48:14,683 --> 00:48:18,770
And, uh, I come out of that skate park,
and it's like, uh...
1023
00:48:19,855 --> 00:48:23,066
"Hey, we gotta come back next week.
They're doing it again next week."
1024
00:48:23,066 --> 00:48:26,612
And someone goes,
"Yeah, but don't bring those faggy pants."
1025
00:48:26,612 --> 00:48:27,529
[Will] Oh.
1026
00:48:27,529 --> 00:48:31,408
And, uh, the pants disappeared
right at that moment.
1027
00:48:31,408 --> 00:48:34,286
There's no part of you that was like,
"Shut up. These pants are cool."
1028
00:48:34,286 --> 00:48:38,290
[Harper] So many times in my life, some,
probably, effort for Harper to get out
1029
00:48:38,290 --> 00:48:39,708
was just squashed.
1030
00:48:39,708 --> 00:48:41,460
- Yeah.
- [Harper] Over and over again.
1031
00:48:41,460 --> 00:48:45,088
And I just remember that one
kind of clearly. So...
1032
00:48:45,631 --> 00:48:48,300
Uh, Eleanor,
you haven't touched your Pringles.
1033
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:51,219
- Sour cream and onion.
- [Eleanor] Oh, I totally forgot.
1034
00:48:51,219 --> 00:48:54,389
Are you familiar with their Scorched line?
1035
00:48:54,389 --> 00:48:55,766
- [Eleanor] I'm not.
- Yeah.
1036
00:48:55,766 --> 00:48:58,101
- That might be too much for me, yeah.
- [Will] I think so.
1037
00:48:58,101 --> 00:48:59,853
- Oh, why thank you.
- [Harper] Mm.
1038
00:48:59,853 --> 00:49:01,355
- Oh, a little taste of--
- Oh.
1039
00:49:01,355 --> 00:49:02,773
Oh. Don't-- Oh!
1040
00:49:02,773 --> 00:49:03,690
[Will] Mm.
1041
00:49:04,191 --> 00:49:06,693
- [crunching]
- And where did these come from?
1042
00:49:08,111 --> 00:49:10,614
[Harper] We got them at a Walmart.
It was in Indianapolis.
1043
00:49:10,614 --> 00:49:13,450
They taste different.
You can tell they're from Indiana.
1044
00:49:13,450 --> 00:49:17,412
- [Harper] Oh yeah, definitely.

cute Harper Steele when she was confused.
1052
00:49:35,222 --> 00:49:37,766
And this is probably around the age
1053
00:49:37,766 --> 00:49:39,977
where I started to feel
just kind of weird.
1054
00:49:39,977 --> 00:49:40,894
[Will] Yeah.
1055
00:49:40,894 --> 00:49:44,523
[Harper] And, uh...
you just start to think to yourself
1056
00:49:44,523 --> 00:49:47,192
that, uh, everyone feels the same way.
1057
00:49:47,192 --> 00:49:48,819

I used to ride a unicycle.

This is the house that I grew up in.
1071
00:50:43,331 --> 00:50:46,501
I used to skateboard. Did all
my early skateboarding tricks out here.
1072
00:50:46,501 --> 00:50:49,588
- I used to do my pole-vaulting this side.
- Down this, like...
1073
00:50:49,588 --> 00:50:52,591
Yeah, we had this--
I had-- My mother built a little--
1074
00:50:53,091 --> 00:50:55,677
Uh, she helped me build
a pole-vaulting mat
1075
00:50:55,677 --> 00:50:58,055
out of a bunch of potato sacks and--
1076

- Yeah. Choo.

But in the backyard was where...
1078
00:51:02,517 --> 00:51:04,269
- The puck was. Yeah.
- [Will] Okay.
1079
00:51:04,269 --> 00:51:08,273
And I'd smack it, and I'd--
You know, seven feet.

What was I gonna do all summer,
play with other people?

[both laughing]
1083
00:51:16,531 --> 00:51:19,785
I came home from City High one day,
and I was just kinda bored.
1084
00:51:19,785 --> 00:51:22,496
So I started acting like I was drunk
on the way home.
1085
00:51:22,496 --> 00:51:24,247
- [chuckles]
- And-- Oh, I could ride that.
1086

Hey, can I ride that?
1087
00:51:26,541 --> 00:51:28,877
Do you mind if she borrows your unicycle
just for a second?
1088
00:51:28,877 --> 00:51:29,795
[kid] What?
1089
00:51:29,795 --> 00:51:32,047
Could she just ride your unicycle
for a second?
1090
00:51:32,047 --> 00:51:32,964
Why?
1091
00:51:32,964 --> 00:51:35,050
- She knows how to ride one.
- [kid] Sure.
1092
00:51:35,050 --> 00:51:36,468
- Yeah, thanks.
- Oh, that's awesome.
1093
00:51:36,468 --> 00:51:38,261

so it might be a little hard.

so when I fall, it's gonna be good.

about being able to ride a unicycle.

00:51:48,438 --> 00:51:50,315
Is that your mode of transportation,
pretty much?
1099
00:51:50,315 --> 00:51:52,651

in junior high.

00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,847
Just... I don't know, I just thought--
I... I... I never asked you, like...
1147
00:53:47,390 --> 00:53:48,350
[Harper] Okay, go.
1148
00:53:48,850 --> 00:53:50,310
- Go.
- How... how are your boobs?
1149
00:53:50,810 --> 00:53:52,187
- As if--
- Now you got boobs.
1150
00:53:52,687 --> 00:53:53,813
I love my boobs.
1151
00:53:54,397 --> 00:53:58,276
When you woke up from that s-- Was it--
1152
00:53:59,110 --> 00:54:00,779
I like to think it was like...
1153
00:54:02,113 --> 00:54:03,198
[both chuckling]
1154
00:54:03,198 --> 00:54:05,951
Was it just like the heavens
were sing... in a way?
1155
00:54:05,951 --> 00:54:09,329
I joke that I did puberty
in about four hours.
1156
00:54:09,329 --> 00:54:10,330
[Will chuckles]
1157
00:54:10,330 --> 00:54:13,291
But... as soon as I woke up,
1158
00:54:14,751 --> 00:54:15,669
I was like,
1159
00:54:17,504 --> 00:54:18,463
"This is amazing."
1160
00:54:18,463 --> 00:54:19,381
Yeah.
1161
00:54:19,381 --> 00:54:23,718
Every time I've done something that's
made me feel better in my own body--
1162
00:54:23,718 --> 00:54:25,095
- Yeah.
- For myself--
1163
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:27,973
- [Will] It's amazing.
- There's-- It... it... it... it's been...
1164
00:54:28,848 --> 00:54:31,559
- [Will] Exhilarating. Yeah.
- Yeah. Guns a-blazing.
1165
00:54:31,559 --> 00:54:34,020
- [Will] Yup. That's great.
- So...
1166
00:54:34,020 --> 00:54:37,357
- So that was my experience with the boobs.
- Okay. What-- Okay.
1167
00:54:37,357 --> 00:54:38,858
So this... this is a big one,
1168
00:54:38,858 --> 00:54:41,820
but... but maybe, you know,
maybe we save this for later.
1169
00:54:41,820 --> 00:54:43,363
You are a friend of mine.
1170
00:54:43,363 --> 00:54:46,324
I invite any friend of mine
to ask me these questions.
1171
00:54:46,324 --> 00:54:48,326
I am not afraid to talk about it.
1172
00:54:48,326 --> 00:54:53,290
Do you foresee wanting to have
other physical augmentation?
1173
00:54:55,917 --> 00:54:57,627
- Possibly.
- [Will] In the future.
1174
00:54:57,627 --> 00:55:00,880
[Harper] When I first started
thinking about transitioning,
1175
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,674
in terms of bottom surgery,
1176
00:55:02,674 --> 00:55:04,801
I was like, "Well, I'm 61."
1177
00:55:06,136 --> 00:55:07,721
"I'm not gonna be a--"
1178
00:55:07,721 --> 00:55:12,350
"I'm not out there
with a super active sexual life, really."
1179
00:55:12,350 --> 00:55:13,310
[Will] Yeah.
1180
00:55:13,310 --> 00:55:16,104
- But there's also the dysphoric side.
- [Will] Yeah.
1181
00:55:16,104 --> 00:55:21,484
Looking in a mirror and seeing something
that doesn't fit with how I feel.
1182
00:55:21,484 --> 00:55:22,485
- So...
- [Will] Yeah.
1183
00:55:22,485 --> 00:55:23,903
- [Harper] I don't know.
- Yeah.
1184
00:55:23,903 --> 00:55:25,905
- [Harper] That's a tough one to answer.
- Right.
1185
00:55:25,905 --> 00:55:29,492
But, uh... Was there
any more boob questions you needed?
1186
00:55:29,492 --> 00:55:32,287
- [Will] No, but I did wanna ask, however--
- Okay.
1187
00:55:32,287 --> 00:55:34,164
Have you been to the--
1188
00:55:34,164 --> 00:55:37,876
have you been in Nordstrom's Rack
since you've gotten your own rack?
1189
00:55:37,876 --> 00:55:40,253
- Very good. Very-- Very good.
- Ha-ha!
1190
00:55:40,253 --> 00:55:42,714
And Will Ferrell wins
the Best Joke of the Year award.
1191
00:55:42,714 --> 00:55:46,718
Thank you. I knew as soon as I said it,
I got Best Joke of the Year.
1192
00:55:46,718 --> 00:55:49,262
I hate analyzing comedy
because it kinda ruins it.
1193
00:55:49,262 --> 00:55:51,306
- In this case, it won't.
- You gotta break it down.
1194
00:55:51,306 --> 00:55:53,141
- You do-- [chuckles]
- [Will] You gotta.
1195
00:55:53,141 --> 00:55:56,895
-"Harper, What exactly did he do there?"
- But let me explain how he got there.
1196
00:55:56,895 --> 00:55:58,605
Will started with,
1197
00:55:58,605 --> 00:56:01,316
"When you got your new rack."
1198
00:56:01,316 --> 00:56:03,360
The connection is, "Did you go..."
1199
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:04,861
"...to Nordstrom?"
1200
00:56:04,861 --> 00:56:06,529
- Ah!
- [both chuckling]
1201
00:56:06,529 --> 00:56:08,782
- [Will] God. Wow.
- And the two racks, different racks.
1202
00:56:08,782 --> 00:56:11,159
One of them's different,
but they're the same rack.
1203
00:56:11,159 --> 00:56:12,535
- [Will] Wow.
- Yeah.
1204
00:56:12,535 --> 00:56:14,913
[upbeat music plays]
1205
00:56:20,126 --> 00:56:22,796
- [Harper] Thank you.
- [Will] Seen any famous people today?
1206
00:56:22,796 --> 00:56:23,880
- [woman] No.
- [Will] Okay.
1207
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,673
- [woman] Just you.
- [Will chuckles gleefully]
1208
00:56:25,673 --> 00:56:27,967
- [Will] Yeah! Whoo!
- [Harper] Yeah!
1209
00:56:30,178 --> 00:56:32,472
- [Will] Fireworks...
- [Harper] Fireworks world!
1210
00:56:32,472 --> 00:56:34,808
- [Will] This is gigantic.
- [Harper] Oh my God.
1211
00:56:34,808 --> 00:56:36,726
[music continues]
1212
00:56:37,685 --> 00:56:41,815
- Holy Nishiki!
- [laughs] I want something dangerous.
1213
00:56:41,815 --> 00:56:43,233
[Will] Ooh, Gator Gun.
1214
00:56:43,233 --> 00:56:45,944
Yeah, that's it.
Honey Badger. It's the Honey Badger.
1215
00:56:45,944 --> 00:56:46,945
- Set it down.
- Yep.
1216
00:56:46,945 --> 00:56:49,155
Pull the fuse,
or pull the sticker off the fuse.
1217
00:56:49,155 --> 00:56:51,449
- You're gonna light that, then run away.
- Light, and book.
1218
00:56:53,076 --> 00:56:54,327
[music continues]
1219
00:56:54,327 --> 00:56:56,287
How many clean undies do you have left?
1220
00:56:56,788 --> 00:56:58,832
I'm getting down to the...
1221
00:56:58,832 --> 00:57:00,333
- [Harper] Nitty-gritty?
- Yup, yup.
1222
00:57:00,333 --> 00:57:01,459
[music continues]
1223
00:57:16,349 --> 00:57:17,934
[music fades out]
1224
00:57:21,980 --> 00:57:25,775
[Will] So...
we're heading to Meeker, Oklahoma.
1225
00:57:25,775 --> 00:57:26,734
[Harper] Uh-huh.
1226
00:57:27,485 --> 00:57:30,864
[Will] And this is in the category
of places you would have visited
1227
00:57:30,864 --> 00:57:32,407
and not thought twice about.
1228
00:57:32,407 --> 00:57:34,826
And so what are you feeling?
What are you thinking?
1229
00:57:35,326 --> 00:57:37,954
I'm nervous and anxious, like...
1230
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:41,666
You know I love these kind of places.
1231
00:57:41,666 --> 00:57:46,463
You know that I spent my life
driving back and forth across the country,
1232
00:57:46,463 --> 00:57:48,256
going to little towns like this,
1233
00:57:48,256 --> 00:57:50,967
stopping in bars,
drinking, meeting people.
1234
00:57:50,967 --> 00:57:53,761
But I just don't know if I can anymore.
1235
00:58:01,352 --> 00:58:02,187
Okay.
1236
00:58:03,271 --> 00:58:07,275
[Will] So you-- You're gonna call me
if... if it's feeling dicey.
1237
00:58:07,275 --> 00:58:08,443
I'm gonna-- You know what?
1238
00:58:08,443 --> 00:58:11,154
- I'm gonna put it on speed dial.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1239
00:58:11,154 --> 00:58:13,198
- [Harper] And you come running in.
- Yep.
1240
00:58:13,198 --> 00:58:14,991
[Harper] With that mug of yours.
1241
00:58:15,783 --> 00:58:18,328
- [Will] I could go in with you right now.
- No.
1242
00:58:18,328 --> 00:58:22,081
I would feel better if that were the case,
but I just wanna try this thing.
1243
00:58:22,081 --> 00:58:25,543
I'm not gonna have an exper--
I won't be able to try this on my own.
1244
00:58:25,543 --> 00:58:27,420
- I might as well try it now.
- Yeah.
1245
00:58:29,964 --> 00:58:30,798
Oh...
1246
00:58:31,883 --> 00:58:33,801
[tense music playing]
1247
00:58:43,186 --> 00:58:44,354
[inaudible]
1248
00:58:46,064 --> 00:58:47,524
[tense music continues]
1249
00:58:59,118 --> 00:59:00,787
[tense music building]
1250
00:59:03,206 --> 00:59:05,041
[bar music, noise fading in]
1251
00:59:12,340 --> 00:59:14,133
- [Harper] How you doing?
- [woman] Doin' well.
1252
00:59:14,133 --> 00:59:15,927
- How you doing?
- I'm doing good.
1253
00:59:16,594 --> 00:59:17,720
What's your name?
1254
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:18,638
Dominique.
1255
00:59:18,638 --> 00:59:21,891
- Dominique. Harper Steele.
- [Dominique] Harper Steele.
1256
00:59:21,891 --> 00:59:23,184
What's going on?
1257
00:59:23,184 --> 00:59:24,435
[woman] Who are you?
1258
00:59:24,435 --> 00:59:26,563
My name's Harper. Who are you?
1259
00:59:26,563 --> 00:59:27,689
I'm Mama T.
1260
00:59:28,565 --> 00:59:29,440
You're Mama T?
1261
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,985
- Oh yeah.
- All right. I heard about you.
1262
00:59:31,985 --> 00:59:33,111
- Yeah.
- [Dominique laughs]
1263
00:59:33,111 --> 00:59:35,989
I haven't heard about her.
Sorry about that.
1264
00:59:35,989 --> 00:59:38,199
- We's just messin' with you.
- Okay.
1265
00:59:38,992 --> 00:59:40,243
Y'all from Oklahoma?
1266
00:59:41,119 --> 00:59:43,079
No, no, no it's all right. I've been--
1267
00:59:43,079 --> 00:59:47,292
That's why I came in here.
I've been in a lot of bars in my life, so...
1268
00:59:47,875 --> 00:59:50,878
Trying to feel like if I can go back
to bars since I transitioned.
1269
00:59:50,878 --> 00:59:52,297
- That's the problem.
- [man 1] Yeah.
1270
00:59:52,297 --> 00:59:54,048
[music thumping in distance]
1271
00:59:55,425 --> 00:59:57,135
- [man 2] Whoa.
- [laughter]
1272
00:59:59,262 --> 01:00:03,725
- Oklahoma, thank you. Oh, thank you.
- [man 3] Harper, where you from?
1273
01:00:03,725 --> 01:00:06,769
- [Harper] I'm from, uh, Iowa.
- [Dominique] Iowa!
1274
01:00:06,769 --> 01:00:10,064
Yeah, Iowa, but I live in New York now.
1275
01:00:10,064 --> 01:00:13,234
- [Dominique] You're on the East Coast.
- I'm on the East Coast. Yeah.
1276
01:00:13,234 --> 01:00:15,445
[Dominique] How's that going for you guys?
1277
01:00:16,237 --> 01:00:17,405
Or gals. [laughs]
1278
01:00:17,405 --> 01:00:18,865
I... I-- Thank you.
1279
01:00:18,865 --> 01:00:23,578
I like... I like, uh, Iowa more,
but I can't make any money there.
1280
01:00:23,578 --> 01:00:25,288
- So...
- [Dominique] Oh really?
1281
01:00:25,288 --> 01:00:27,123
[Harper] Yeah, I write for TV.
1282
01:00:28,333 --> 01:00:31,794
I'm gonna text my friend.
He's parking the car out there.
1283
01:00:32,962 --> 01:00:34,297
- Hello?
- [Harper] Hey.
1284
01:00:34,297 --> 01:00:35,214
Hey.
1285
01:00:35,798 --> 01:00:37,008
- Come on in.
- Okay.
1286
01:00:39,385 --> 01:00:41,137
[Will] Hey. Hi.
1287
01:00:41,137 --> 01:00:43,556
[Harper] I want you to meet these guys.
These are my friends.
1288
01:00:43,556 --> 01:00:46,434
- Is this Will Ferrell?
- [woman 1] Yes, it is.
1289
01:00:46,434 --> 01:00:48,353
- [woman 2] For real?
- [woman 1] Yeah!
1290
01:00:48,853 --> 01:00:50,938
- This is my friend Harper.
- [Harper] How you doin'?
1291
01:00:50,938 --> 01:00:52,523
- Nice to meet you, bro.
- [Harper] Hey.
1292
01:00:52,523 --> 01:00:53,524
- Not a bro though.
- She.
1293
01:00:53,524 --> 01:00:55,610
- [Harper] It's a she, but that's okay.
- Oh. Sorry.
1294
01:00:55,610 --> 01:00:58,071
[Harper] That's all right.
You can try again.
1295
01:00:58,071 --> 01:00:59,322
- Yeah.
- [Harper] Yeah.
1296
01:00:59,322 --> 01:01:01,991
About a year and a half ago,
I transitioned.
1297
01:01:02,575 --> 01:01:06,454
And now Will wants to kind of go out
in the middle of the country with me.
1298
01:01:06,454 --> 01:01:09,290
- Oh my goodness. That's great.
- That's cool. Hey, it's...
1299
01:01:09,874 --> 01:01:12,043
I like your support for your friend.
1300
01:01:12,627 --> 01:01:15,755
No, that's amazing.
There's not a lot of that nowadays.
1301
01:01:15,755 --> 01:01:17,924
- You know?
- [Will] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1302
01:01:17,924 --> 01:01:19,676
I got a lot of... friends...
1303
01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,177
[woman speaks indistinctly]
1304
01:01:21,177 --> 01:01:23,221
[Will] Do you have a lot of trans friends?
1305
01:01:23,763 --> 01:01:25,431
- Not trans, but they are bi.
- [woman] I do.
1306
01:01:25,431 --> 01:01:28,393

these are Native American--
1309
01:01:32,814 --> 01:01:36,067
- They want to sing us a... Yeah.
- Native America, here we go.
1310
01:01:36,067 --> 01:01:39,320

1318
01:02:19,944 --> 01:02:22,155

- I tried to give you a bit of Oklahoma.

1337
01:03:35,645 --> 01:03:38,064
I used to come out

when I was... still a guy.
1339
01:03:41,567 --> 01:03:44,695
And then I transitioned,
and I got a little afraid because...

- You know what I'm saying. So...
- Yeah. No, don't be afraid.

- You know?
- [Harper] Yeah.
1344
01:03:58,709 --> 01:04:02,672
- [man] Don't worry about it. You know?
- No, I think that's... that's good to hear.
1345
01:04:03,172 --> 01:04:06,342
That's not how I felt. I keep hearing

Thanks, guys. Pleasure.
1350
01:04:20,565 --> 01:04:25,403
[Harper] I'm a little bit in shock.
And that's not on them. That's on me.
1351
01:04:27,989 --> 01:04:30,825
I'm not really afraid of these people.
1352
01:04:30,825 --> 01:04:31,993
[Will] Yeah, right.
1353
01:04:31,993 --> 01:04:34,829

I'm afraid of hating myself.
1354

[Harper] December 2016.

"I know some mornings, like this one."
1375
01:05:57,078 --> 01:05:59,580
"I wake up without any connection
to the world,
1376
01:06:00,081 --> 01:06:03,250
positive that to connect with
a woman or a man,
1377
01:06:03,250 --> 01:06:05,544
I would have to lie and hide myself."
1378
01:06:06,295 --> 01:06:07,880
"That is very depressing."
1379
01:06:09,173 --> 01:06:12,760
"I dream of a world where I can lay
my vulnerabilities out there -
1380
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,638
open for everyone
until they are my strengths."
1381
01:06:16,138 --> 01:06:17,556
"I am longing for this."
1382
01:06:19,809 --> 01:06:22,061
[Will] That's one of the things
I was gonna ask about
1383
01:06:22,061 --> 01:06:24,647
which we kind of haven't touched upon.
1384
01:06:25,356 --> 01:06:28,901
- I'm assuming you wanna start dating?
- Yeah.
1385
01:06:29,402 --> 01:06:31,070
- Yes.
- Right? And you wanna...
1386
01:06:31,862 --> 01:06:37,118
And you wanna go out
and go to the bar and pick up someone
1387
01:06:37,118 --> 01:06:39,829
or be picked up, that kind of encounter.
1388
01:06:39,829 --> 01:06:42,832
- I am a monogamous person.
- Yeah.
1389
01:06:42,832 --> 01:06:46,043
And I... I'm optimistic.
1390
01:06:46,043 --> 01:06:47,253
- [Will] Yeah.
- I'm 61.
1391
01:06:47,253 --> 01:06:51,257
But I would love to be
in a relationship again.
1392
01:06:51,257 --> 01:06:55,219
And are-- In your mind's eye,
are you interested in a trans woman?
1393
01:06:55,928 --> 01:06:56,846
- Uh...
- Sure.
1394
01:06:56,846 --> 01:06:58,639
- A man? Or... Yeah.
- [Harper] Sure.
1395
01:06:58,639 --> 01:07:01,225
- Sure. Yeah, sure.
- Okay, yeah. Gotcha. Okay.
1396
01:07:01,225 --> 01:07:05,229
I mean, for me, it sounds corny,
but the type is the one that--
1397
01:07:05,229 --> 01:07:07,398
- It's a blank canvas at this point.
- Yeah.
1398
01:07:07,398 --> 01:07:11,402
And the one that I can wake up
in the morning, drink coffee in bed,
1399
01:07:11,402 --> 01:07:14,321
and talk about the stupid movie
we watched the night before.
1400
01:07:14,321 --> 01:07:16,407
- That's the main thing. Yeah.
- That's--
1401
01:07:16,407 --> 01:07:18,617
I really have to say,
I know that sounds corny.
1402
01:07:18,617 --> 01:07:21,328
But I am waiting
for that experience to happen.

1459

The room started to feel
very... wrong to me,
1460
01:10:49,662 --> 01:10:54,416
and, I mean, the crowds
that come around you so quickly.
1461

I was feeling a little like
1462

my transness was on display, I guess.

that sort of made me feel... not great.

01:11:26,824 --> 01:11:29,201
I feel like I let you down in that moment.
1472
01:11:29,201 --> 01:11:31,078
- Oh, no, no, no.
- You know?
1473
01:11:31,078 --> 01:11:32,079
And... [hesitates]
1474
01:11:33,163 --> 01:11:35,040
I was like, "Oh shit. I got--"
1475
01:11:35,749 --> 01:11:38,210
[sniffles] "We gotta worry
about Harper's safety."
1476
01:11:38,210 --> 01:11:39,753
You know? Like, what... [sniffles]
1477
01:11:40,629 --> 01:11:43,882
That's where I just--
I feel like I-- Yeah.
1478
01:11:44,883 --> 01:11:45,843
[sniffles]
1479
01:11:45,843 --> 01:11:47,553
[solemn music playing]
1480
01:11:55,978 --> 01:11:59,440
[Harper] I was gonna read
some of the tweets we've been receiving
1481
01:11:59,440 --> 01:12:02,568
since we started this trip.
You wanna hear this one?
1482
01:12:03,193 --> 01:12:04,361
"Ah, very important
1483
01:12:04,361 --> 01:12:07,406
you have another gender bender
for the kids to see."
1484
01:12:07,406 --> 01:12:11,243
"It's so trendy and cool,
even Will Ferrell's doing it."
1485
01:12:12,161 --> 01:12:15,289
"It really sucks that Will Ferrell
shows up to his first Pacers game
1486
01:12:15,289 --> 01:12:16,540
with a trans woman."
1487
01:12:16,540 --> 01:12:17,791
"Who's that dude?"
1488
01:12:18,542 --> 01:12:20,377
Oh yeah, yeah. Here's a good one though.
1489
01:12:20,377 --> 01:12:22,629
"Will Ferrell stopped in Iowa City today."
1490
01:12:22,629 --> 01:12:25,382
"He and Ryan Reynolds are making
a road trip documentary
1491
01:12:25,382 --> 01:12:27,176
supporting trans kids and rights."
1492
01:12:27,176 --> 01:12:28,844
[chuckles] Ryan's--
1493
01:12:29,636 --> 01:12:32,556
I didn't realize
Ry... Ryan's a part of everything.
1494
01:12:32,556 --> 01:12:34,558
- Oh, here's one just about you.
- Okay.
1495
01:12:34,558 --> 01:12:36,101
- Wanna hear this one?
- Yes, please.
1496
01:12:36,101 --> 01:12:39,730
"Great,
a satanic Illuminati pedophile in Iowa."
1497
01:12:40,564 --> 01:12:42,483
[chuckles softly] And that's me?
1498
01:12:42,483 --> 01:12:44,568
Yeah. How do you feel about that?
1499
01:12:47,071 --> 01:12:50,866
It just feels ridiculous. I don't--
I have no emotional-- I mean...
1500
01:12:51,367 --> 01:12:55,788
That stuff, you can't underestimate
the damage that all that does.
1501
01:12:57,081 --> 01:12:59,792
When you're trans,
you ingest a lot of that shit,
1502
01:12:59,792 --> 01:13:01,377
and it sits in your head.
1503
01:13:02,044 --> 01:13:03,921
- Those tweets are in my head.
- Yeah.
1504
01:13:05,381 --> 01:13:06,965
[solemn music continues]
1505
01:13:17,267 --> 01:13:20,854
When... when hatred is pointed
at me and trans people,
1506
01:13:21,605 --> 01:13:23,899
they're like, "You're not a woman."
1507
01:13:23,899 --> 01:13:25,526
"You'll never be a woman."
1508
01:13:26,068 --> 01:13:30,280
Okay, I... you know,
I am a trans woman. I'm fine with that.
1509
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,242
- But I am feeling something, you know?
- Yeah.
1510
01:13:33,242 --> 01:13:35,869
And it's not unhealthy.
1511
01:13:35,869 --> 01:13:39,456
It's made me actually healthier
in many respects.
1512
01:13:39,456 --> 01:13:41,291
- Yeah, yeah.
- It saved my life, I think.
1513
01:13:41,291 --> 01:13:43,210
And I'm not joking about that.
1514
01:13:44,795 --> 01:13:48,715
Did you come really close
at any point to... to...
1515
01:13:50,092 --> 01:13:53,637
I know you had dark thoughts,
but suicidal though-- I mean, did you...
1516
01:13:55,097 --> 01:13:57,599
Was it that intense at times?
1517
01:13:58,851 --> 01:14:00,644
- Yes.
- Yeah.
1518
01:14:01,145 --> 01:14:02,729
- Yes, I, uh...
- Yeah.
1519
01:14:02,729 --> 01:14:06,525
[Harper] I'm gonna say...
six years ago, maybe,
1520
01:14:07,109 --> 01:14:08,652
I went to the gun place,
1521
01:14:09,486 --> 01:14:11,488
and... [chuckles] ...the guy,
1522
01:14:12,573 --> 01:14:13,615
he asked me, uh,
1523
01:14:13,615 --> 01:14:17,828
"Is it for, uh, targets,
or is it for, uh, security?"
1524
01:14:18,579 --> 01:14:21,498
And I was like, "Oh," uh,
'cause I know nothing about guns.
1525
01:14:21,498 --> 01:14:24,334
- Me neither. [chuckles]
- Right, and I'm like, "Um..."
1526
01:14:25,043 --> 01:14:26,920
"Uh... well, yeah, maybe both."
1527
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,381
"I'm in a kinda isolated house."
I'm trying to lie.
1528
01:14:30,382 --> 01:14:32,217
So I picked it up,
and I was looking at it,
1529
01:14:32,217 --> 01:14:33,802
and I was super scared.
1530
01:14:34,386 --> 01:14:36,096
- Golly.
- I walked out of there.
1531
01:14:36,096 --> 01:14:38,640
I was just like,
"Okay. I'm gonna come back."
1532
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:40,017
"I'm gonna think about it."
1533
01:14:40,017 --> 01:14:42,644
Up until the moment,
really, I transitioned,
1534
01:14:42,644 --> 01:14:44,855
I didn't wanna have a gun around me.
1535
01:14:45,397 --> 01:14:48,233
- Because it could be an impulsive thing.
- [Will] Yeah.
1536
01:14:48,233 --> 01:14:52,279
Because there was definitely moments
where I thought, "I wish I had that gun."
1537
01:14:52,863 --> 01:14:56,033
But the moment I transitioned,
1538
01:14:56,033 --> 01:14:57,618
all I wanted to do was live.
1539
01:14:57,618 --> 01:14:58,619
- Oh.
- Just live.
1540
01:14:58,619 --> 01:15:00,537
Live and... and continue on the path...
1541
01:15:00,537 --> 01:15:02,539
Oh my God. I got this free gift.
1542
01:15:02,539 --> 01:15:03,665
...being really who you are.
1543
01:15:03,665 --> 01:15:04,583
- Yes.
- Wow.

1547
01:15:43,539 --> 01:15:49,461
I feel such a strong
Albuquerque connection with Harper
1548
01:15:49,461 --> 01:15:52,839
because I was here working on MacGruber
1549
01:15:52,839 --> 01:15:56,343
when we all first found out
that you were transitioning.
1550
01:15:57,094 --> 01:16:00,931
And it was here
exactly one year ago today.
1551
01:16:03,475 --> 01:16:04,685
[Harper] I will say
1552
01:16:04,685 --> 01:16:08,355
part of me feels like I should have
made that decision 40 years ago,
1553
01:16:08,939 --> 01:16:11,358
but I wouldn't have met you guys.
1554
01:16:11,358 --> 01:16:15,529
I would not have gotten hired at--
started a comedy world, probably.
1555
01:16:15,529 --> 01:16:17,906
- I would have had a different life, so...
- Yeah.
1556
01:16:17,906 --> 01:16:19,908
Too many good things happened.
1557

the same thing I'm feeling? A little--
1558

- Wait. Hold on. Hold on.

and the journey that you've gone on,

- Of course it was!
1638
01:19:57,501 --> 01:19:59,753
- [man] You got some canyon.
- Oh, okay.
1639
01:19:59,753 --> 01:20:01,880
- Where you guys from?
- [woman] Syracuse, New York.
1640
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:03,089
- Oh, so--
- Oh!
1641
01:20:03,089 --> 01:20:04,257
I'm a New Yorker.
1642
01:20:04,257 --> 01:20:07,719
- New Yorker. We're on a road trip as well.
- Yeah.
1643
01:20:08,303 --> 01:20:11,139
- Harper transitioned...
- I transitioned, and we're just sort of...
1644
01:20:11,139 --> 01:20:14,184
We're kinda discussing
what that means for our friendship.
1645
01:20:14,768 --> 01:20:17,938
- Do you mind if I ask you a question?
- [Harper] Yeah, good. I would love it.
1646
01:20:17,938 --> 01:20:22,818
I'm just wondering how early you knew,
how early you wanted to.
1647
01:20:24,027 --> 01:20:25,779
I think growing up in Iowa,
1648
01:20:26,822 --> 01:20:29,908
it was so impossible
to think something like that.
1649
01:20:29,908 --> 01:20:32,702
- Uh-huh.
- [Harper] So I just think I couldn't--
1650
01:20:32,702 --> 01:20:35,372
I thought I was weird.
I knew something was weird about me.
1651
01:20:35,372 --> 01:20:37,040
I definitely knew that and...
1652
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:41,795
But I also came around to thinking
that... the kind of weird I was was normal.
1653
01:20:42,295 --> 01:20:46,383
So about ten years ago, it just started
to explode in me a little more.
1654
01:20:47,092 --> 01:20:47,968
- And I just--
- Wow.
1655
01:20:47,968 --> 01:20:51,388
I kept fighting it and fighting it
and talking to therapists and...
1656
01:20:51,972 --> 01:20:53,431
- Yeah.
- You know what?
1657
01:20:53,431 --> 01:20:55,934
- I'm a retired therapist.
- [Harper] Oh. Oh, okay.
1658
01:20:55,934 --> 01:20:59,145
I had a patient very early in my career,
1659
01:20:59,145 --> 01:21:02,524
so now we're talking... 30 years ago,
1660
01:21:02,524 --> 01:21:04,109
and he came in and said,
1661
01:21:05,443 --> 01:21:07,571
"I'm happily married. I love my wife."
1662
01:21:07,571 --> 01:21:08,488
[Harper] Yeah, yeah.
1663
01:21:08,488 --> 01:21:10,824
"But I dress in her clothes
whenever I can."
1664
01:21:10,824 --> 01:21:13,535
- [Harper] Yeah.
-"And I don't think I'm--"
1665
01:21:14,578 --> 01:21:17,163
"I don't... I don't...
I don't know what I am."
1666
01:21:17,163 --> 01:21:19,875
- Yeah, yeah. How did you work through it?
- Yeah.
1667
01:21:19,875 --> 01:21:23,378
- I was very closed-minded about it.
- [Harper] Yeah, yeah.
1668
01:21:23,378 --> 01:21:27,173
Sort of afraid
to go into really unknown territory.
1669
01:21:27,173 --> 01:21:29,009
- It was unknown to me.
- [Harper] Yeah.
1670
01:21:29,009 --> 01:21:32,596
Can I tell you, I had a therapist
like that that sort of stopped me.
1671
01:21:32,596 --> 01:21:33,680
Ah, I... [sighs]
1672
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:35,849
[Harper] And... and... and again, I'm not--
1673
01:21:35,849 --> 01:21:39,102
I stopped myself enough
that I don't blame anyone.
1674
01:21:39,686 --> 01:21:42,105
- Yeah, that's...
- I tried to be open and supportive.
1675
01:21:42,105 --> 01:21:45,233
But I know
that a lot of my subtle messages were...
1676
01:21:45,233 --> 01:21:46,443
[Harper] Of course.
1677
01:21:46,443 --> 01:21:49,613
- But I've got this my whole life.
-"But you love your wife and..."
1678
01:21:49,613 --> 01:21:51,114
[Harper] Yeah, I know. So...
1679
01:21:51,114 --> 01:21:53,533
-"You love your wife, your life."
- [Harper] Yeah.
1680
01:21:53,533 --> 01:21:55,660
-"Why would you do this?"
- [woman] You know?
1681
01:21:55,660 --> 01:21:58,246
- Surgery is a huge...
- [Harper] "Can you manage it?"
1682
01:21:58,246 --> 01:22:03,126
Yeah. I know that I was a blockade
in that man's-- in that person's life.
1683

[pensive music playing]

- Okay.
1685
01:22:16,848 --> 01:22:19,935
[Harper] If you named that beer,
what would the name of the beer be?
1686
01:22:20,852 --> 01:22:22,312
- There's no question.
- Yeah.
1687
01:22:23,271 --> 01:22:24,689
Cornelius Danderhoff.
1688
01:22:25,315 --> 01:22:27,859
- Your beer's called Cornelius Danderhoff?
- Mm-hmm.
1689
01:22:28,777 --> 01:22:30,195
- Keep that name.
- Okay.
1690
01:22:32,364 --> 01:22:35,241
This is Dolores O'Brien.
I'm gonna drink her all up.

But I wanna show you something.
1692
01:22:38,870 --> 01:22:43,124
I have something very special
for my good friend Cornelius Danderhoff.
1693
01:22:45,168 --> 01:22:47,003
- Oh!
- It's a coat.
1694
01:22:48,421 --> 01:22:49,756
It's a beverage jacket.
1695
01:22:50,256 --> 01:22:52,008
It's a... a beverage--
1696
01:22:52,008 --> 01:22:55,720
Well, I don't think of-- I actually don't
think of Dolores as a beverage.
1697
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,598
But I don't know
how you wanna think of it.
1698
01:22:58,598 --> 01:23:00,850
No, Cornelius is gonna love this.
1699
01:23:00,850 --> 01:23:02,435
Oh, just... huh...

01:23:03,436 --> 01:23:04,479

01:23:07,440 --> 01:23:10,026
You look adorable, Dolores.
1703
01:23:10,568 --> 01:23:14,322
This new jacket of yours
reminds me of my own.
1704
01:23:14,322 --> 01:23:15,657
You look adorable.
1705
01:23:16,241 --> 01:23:18,827
- Oh, Cornelius. That's so sophisticated.
- Cornelius.

01:23:20,412 --> 01:23:22,163
I have a surprise for you.

- [chuckling] Oh, Cornelius. Really.
1709
01:23:27,252 --> 01:23:29,587
- Cornelius, you need to lose a few.
- [laughs]

01:23:29,587 --> 01:23:32,799
- Well, help Cornelius lose a few pounds.
- I... [chuckling]

I would've liked my suit

when it comes to bathing suits.
1737
01:25:03,848 --> 01:25:07,852
I'd be a little more comfortable
in a perfectly fitting suit, I think.

I think you look great.

Thank you. I really--
I... I do believe that you mean that. Right?
1740
01:25:14,025 --> 01:25:18,571
The irony that I have done
so many shirtless things
1741
01:25:18,571 --> 01:25:20,740
and things in my underwear or in a Speedo
1742
01:25:20,740 --> 01:25:22,742
is that I'm a fairly modest person.

01:25:22,742 --> 01:25:24,494
No, I know that. I know that.

1746
01:25:30,416 --> 01:25:32,585
That's why I was excited no one was here.
1747
01:25:32,585 --> 01:25:37,841
'Cause I put the Speedo on, I used to be
kind of like comedically out of shape.

01:27:56,938 --> 01:28:00,191

- Yes.

Oh, David Abernathy.
Do we have a reservation tonight?
1821
01:29:25,234 --> 01:29:26,444
[Will] We do.
1822
01:29:26,444 --> 01:29:28,071
- Oh my God.

1823
01:29:34,619 --> 01:29:36,954
Oh, thank you, David.

01:29:40,041 --> 01:29:40,917
And there.
1826
01:29:42,710 --> 01:29:43,544
Thank you.

01:29:45,755 --> 01:29:46,923
Oh.
1828
01:29:46,923 --> 01:29:48,549
Good evening, ma'am. Good evening, sir.
1829
01:29:48,549 --> 01:29:50,718
- [Will] Hello.
- Welcome to the SW Steakhouse.
1830
01:29:50,718 --> 01:29:52,637
- [both] Thank you.
- What a pleasure to have you.
1831
01:29:52,637 --> 01:29:55,098
- Thank you.
- Thank you. I'm David. This is Harper.
1832
01:29:55,098 --> 01:29:56,808
Hi, David. Hi, Harper. I'm John.
1833
01:29:56,808 --> 01:29:58,434
- Hi.
- [server] Pleasure to meet you both.
1834
01:29:58,434 --> 01:30:00,520
- [Will] I'm David Abernathy.
- You're Dav-- Sorry?
1835
01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:03,398
- David Abernathy.
- David Abernathy. I'm John Bortles.
1836
01:30:03,398 --> 01:30:05,983
I... I managed Bette Midler
for a little while.
1837
01:30:05,983 --> 01:30:08,027
- [John] Oh wow.
- And Air Supply.
1838
01:30:08,027 --> 01:30:10,029
- Glad to have you.
- [Will] Wait.
1839
01:30:10,029 --> 01:30:13,866
- I believe we'd love... two Montagues.
- [Harper] A Montague.
1840
01:30:13,866 --> 01:30:17,370
Excellent choice. I'll get that started.
One of our signature drinks.
1841
01:30:18,371 --> 01:30:19,247
Cheers to, uh...
1842
01:30:19,247 --> 01:30:21,791
- [Harper] Cheers to our little experiment.
- Yeah.
1843
01:30:22,500 --> 01:30:24,627
I don't know if it's working or not.
I can't tell.
1844
01:30:24,627 --> 01:30:26,087
[Will] I can't either, but...
1845
01:30:27,922 --> 01:30:31,551
This whole trip, obviously,
you're taking the heat off me.
1846
01:30:31,551 --> 01:30:32,677
- [Will] Yeah.
- Um...
1847
01:30:33,845 --> 01:30:37,557
And that's just not the life
of a real trans person.
1848
01:30:37,557 --> 01:30:39,892
But when I was in the Goodwill today,
1849
01:30:39,892 --> 01:30:44,981
I just felt way more comfortable,
and that's a bit of a result of this trip.
1850
01:30:44,981 --> 01:30:46,524
- Yeah.
- For sure.
1851
01:30:46,524 --> 01:30:48,317
- Like...
- [John] Another cocktail?
1852
01:30:48,317 --> 01:30:52,321
Yeah, I would love a,
uh... just a glass of... of Cab.
1853
01:30:53,489 --> 01:30:54,365
Thanks, John.
1854
01:30:56,117 --> 01:30:58,995
[Harper] Okay,
it's a complicated subject for me.
1855
01:30:58,995 --> 01:31:01,414
Sometimes, the better my makeup looks,
1856
01:31:01,998 --> 01:31:03,833
the worse I feel about my face.
1857
01:31:03,833 --> 01:31:06,252
Well... But you look...
1858
01:31:08,296 --> 01:31:09,255
You look great.
1859
01:31:09,255 --> 01:31:14,385
But there's something about...
the slow process of getting
1860
01:31:15,553 --> 01:31:16,971
used to who I am...
1861
01:31:16,971 --> 01:31:17,889
[Will] Yeah.
1862
01:31:18,556 --> 01:31:22,143
...that the... "prettier" I get,
1863
01:31:22,852 --> 01:31:24,770
the more I see the flaws.
1864
01:31:24,770 --> 01:31:28,649
I know what you mean. It's like, "Okay,
I'm putting 'my best foot forward...'"
1865
01:31:28,649 --> 01:31:31,736
[Harper] Right.
And I don't feel like I... I can-- Yeah.
1866
01:31:31,736 --> 01:31:33,821
It's making me very self-aware of my...
1867
01:31:33,821 --> 01:31:35,031
[Will] Right.
1868
01:31:35,031 --> 01:31:37,533
...unfortunately, very masculine face.
1869
01:31:37,533 --> 01:31:39,744
So I look in the mirror, and I--
1870
01:31:39,744 --> 01:31:42,955
- It's like this is getting closer.
- [Will] Yeah.
1871
01:31:42,955 --> 01:31:47,084
But now I'm like,
"Wow, I got a... I got more to do."
1872
01:31:47,627 --> 01:31:51,339
But having spent almost two weeks
with you now, I'm just like...
1873
01:31:53,174 --> 01:31:54,175
I'm just sorta like...
1874
01:31:55,676 --> 01:31:56,969
"I'm just with Harper."
1875
01:31:58,179 --> 01:31:59,639
I'm forgetting...
1876
01:32:00,556 --> 01:32:02,058
- [Harper] The dead name?
- The dead name.
1877
01:32:02,642 --> 01:32:04,435
It's just getting fully...
1878
01:32:06,145 --> 01:32:09,440
replaced, and I don't... I don't know.
1879
01:32:09,440 --> 01:32:10,399
I mean,
1880
01:32:12,026 --> 01:32:12,944
thanks.
1881
01:32:12,944 --> 01:32:17,823
Do you feel lucky sitting across the table
from someone who looks like this?
1882
01:32:19,075 --> 01:32:22,495
I feel very fortunate
to be sitting across the table
1883
01:32:22,495 --> 01:32:24,664
from Bette Midler's old manager.
1884
01:32:24,664 --> 01:32:26,123
- [Will] Old manager.
- Yeah.
1885
01:32:26,123 --> 01:32:29,085
- Do you think John-- Oh, here comes John.
- [Harper] Okay, good.
1886
01:32:30,670 --> 01:32:32,421
You think John knows it's me?
1887
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:38,302
- [John] Nickel & Nickel Cabernet. Enjoy.
- Thanks, John.
1888
01:32:38,803 --> 01:32:39,804
My pleasure.
1889
01:32:40,638 --> 01:32:41,556
[Harper] Mm.
1890
01:32:42,598 --> 01:32:45,476
John is suspicious. So just be honest.
1891
01:32:45,476 --> 01:32:47,979
- [Will] John's onto me.
- Yeah, John-- [chuckling]
1892

1894
01:33:06,956 --> 01:33:10,960
Imagine someone
who goes on a trip with a friend
1895
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:12,795
and is up for anything and everything.
1896
01:33:12,795 --> 01:33:13,754
Stop.
1897
01:33:13,754 --> 01:33:16,799
And there's literally one thing
they wanna do.
1898
01:33:17,592 --> 01:33:20,595
- One fun thing. That's it.
- We've done so many good things.
1899
01:33:21,095 --> 01:33:23,764
One fun thing that they dreamed about,
1900
01:33:23,764 --> 01:33:25,558
that they journaled about.
1901
01:33:26,517 --> 01:33:29,186
You never said
you journaled about Dunkin' Donuts.
1902
01:33:29,186 --> 01:33:31,022
I did journal about Dunkin' Donuts.
1903
01:33:31,022 --> 01:33:32,231
"Dear journal..."
1904
01:33:32,231 --> 01:33:34,066
If I could go, today's the day.

"...I have discovered something called..."

"Something that's changed my life.
It's a place called Dunkin' Donuts."

- No. [laughing]
-"I finally found my... my place."

01:33:53,044 --> 01:33:55,713
- Whew.
- [Will] This feels like a long way to go.

1912
01:33:57,965 --> 01:34:01,510
- [muttering]
- Are you okay? Want me to take the other--
1913
01:34:01,510 --> 01:34:04,055
- Yeah, could you carry all this?

1917
01:34:19,111 --> 01:34:23,199
So... there's a few passages in my journal
1918
01:34:23,199 --> 01:34:26,243
that I just felt like
just talk to this very place.

1924

"I fantasize about owning
an apartment in Mojave, California."
1925

I found a house in Trona, California."

and I couldn't stop obsessing over it."
1930

"I offered to buy it,
1931
01:35:16,627 --> 01:35:19,588
and now it looks like I will own it."

01:36:04,633 --> 01:36:09,430
I bought it about six or seven years ago.

Yeah. Um...
1941
01:36:26,864 --> 01:36:29,200
And I just was looking for, uh...
1942
01:36:31,535 --> 01:36:33,329
some place to go where I could
1943
01:36:34,330 --> 01:36:35,998
get away from people and...
1944
01:36:37,500 --> 01:36:39,502
There's something I liked about this.
1945
01:36:41,003 --> 01:36:44,381
[Will] That it was just so...
so far away from everything else?
1946
01:36:44,381 --> 01:36:47,384
Yeah, it was just hidden
in a downtrodden community, and...
1947
01:36:47,384 --> 01:36:48,302
[Will] Yeah.
1948
01:36:49,553 --> 01:36:50,554
I felt I...
1949
01:36:52,848 --> 01:36:54,016
kinda fit in out here.
1950
01:36:54,016 --> 01:36:54,934

Yeah, so... [chuckles]
1967
01:37:36,725 --> 01:37:38,143
...I-- I kind of fancied,
1968
01:37:38,143 --> 01:37:41,981
um, a mid-century modern house out here,
and I would go to town on it.

I just don't want anything to do with it.
1974
01:38:31,196 --> 01:38:34,158
[Will] I was just gonna say,
what's... what's the plan now?

That was it. I was gonna--
That was my plan.
1979
01:38:45,836 --> 01:38:48,589
I had no... There wasn't any way
to make it work either,
1980
01:38:48,589 --> 01:38:51,050
because I would've been afraid
of these people, too,
1981
01:38:51,050 --> 01:38:54,803
so I just was gonna close the curtains
and walk around this house,
1982
01:38:54,803 --> 01:38:56,805
and it was a safe space.
1983
01:38:56,805 --> 01:38:59,975
- Were you able to ever, like, dress here...?
- Yeah. I mean, this was--
1984
01:38:59,975 --> 01:39:03,145
- I worked in there in women's clothes.
- Yeah.
1985
01:39:03,145 --> 01:39:05,147
And I brought women's clothes with me,
1986
01:39:05,147 --> 01:39:09,068
and I... sat out here at night
in women's clothes.
1987

Again, it's not the worst thing
that I was trying to be safe
2005
01:39:57,741 --> 01:40:00,953

were gonna react. I was scared.
2006

But no, I don't...
I don't want to do that anymore. I can...
2007
01:40:05,666 --> 01:40:09,294

that I'm not gonna let you have.

- [Harper] I mean, it's a long drive.
- Yeah. I know. [chuckles]
2125
01:46:26,630 --> 01:46:27,798
[Harper] You know?
2126
01:46:30,801 --> 01:46:31,635
Oh!
2127
01:46:32,719 --> 01:46:33,970
- Wow.
- [Will] That's great.
2128
01:46:38,767 --> 01:46:41,603
We've dropped these chairs
in some very nice places, haven't we?
2129
01:46:41,603 --> 01:46:43,271
- Yeah.
- The Grand Canyon.
2130
01:46:43,271 --> 01:46:45,148
- [Will] Yep.
- The Mississippi River.
2131
01:46:45,148 --> 01:46:46,358
[Will] Mighty Mississippi.
2132
01:46:46,858 --> 01:46:49,069
[Harper] On a-- In a Walmart parking lot.
2133
01:46:53,448 --> 01:46:55,659
- I will never forget this.
- Yeah.
2134
01:46:55,659 --> 01:46:57,661
We'll never forget this trip.
2135
01:46:59,121 --> 01:47:03,667
Because if it's in a week
or six months from now...
2136
01:47:03,667 --> 01:47:04,584
Yeah.
2137
01:47:06,586 --> 01:47:07,838
...the joy... [chuckles]
2138
01:47:07,838 --> 01:47:08,797
Yeah.
2139
01:47:09,464 --> 01:47:12,342
...the joy I'm gonna feel just seeing you.
2140
01:47:12,342 --> 01:47:17,889
Which I always felt, but it's like,
man, I really got close to my friend Will.
2141
01:47:18,557 --> 01:47:20,058
- [Will] I still...
- Yeah.
2142
01:47:20,058 --> 01:47:23,687
I'm gonna think of something tomorrow
that I forgot to ask you.
2143
01:47:23,687 --> 01:47:26,189
I'm gonna think
of a bunch of stuff I should've said
2144
01:47:26,189 --> 01:47:27,691
that I wanted to tell you.
2145
01:47:28,275 --> 01:47:29,651
- But...
- We have time.
2146
01:47:29,651 --> 01:47:32,028
- [Will] We have time and...
- I mean, yeah.
2147
01:47:37,868 --> 01:47:39,494
I got you a little present.
2148
01:47:41,246 --> 01:47:42,581
- [Harper] You did?
- Yeah.
2149
01:47:43,707 --> 01:47:44,708
Because one of...
2150
01:47:45,500 --> 01:47:48,962
We've obviously had
this back-and-forth on beauty.
2151
01:47:48,962 --> 01:47:49,880
Yeah.
2152
01:47:50,464 --> 01:47:53,508
- And... being okay with--
- Yeah.
2153
01:47:54,551 --> 01:47:55,927
With kind of, you know...
2154
01:47:57,804 --> 01:48:01,183
Whether it's makeup
or finding the right dress, it... it--
2155
01:48:01,183 --> 01:48:05,770
making yourself feel good
as a woman, beautiful.
2156
01:48:06,646 --> 01:48:09,441
So... I thought to myself,
2157
01:48:09,441 --> 01:48:12,277
"I know what I wanna get Harper
at the end of the thing."
2158
01:48:13,987 --> 01:48:15,739
Her own pair of diamond earrings.
2159
01:48:15,739 --> 01:48:18,325
- Not diamond earrings. Really?
- [Will] Yeah.
2160
01:48:19,659 --> 01:48:21,912
[chuckles emotionally, sniffles]
2161
01:48:21,912 --> 01:48:23,371
[tearfully] Oh my God.
2162
01:48:25,332 --> 01:48:26,166
So...
2163
01:48:29,377 --> 01:48:30,212
Just to...
2164
01:48:31,671 --> 01:48:32,672
[Harper sniffles]
2165
01:48:32,672 --> 01:48:35,383
Just as kind of obviously
a memory of the trip,
2166
01:48:35,383 --> 01:48:37,260
but just, like, it's okay to...
2167
01:48:39,095 --> 01:48:42,766
It's okay to feel pretty
and do nice, pretty things for yourself.
2168
01:48:44,100 --> 01:48:45,810
Oh jeez. [chuckles, sniffles]
2169
01:48:51,900 --> 01:48:53,193
[chuckles emotionally]
2170
01:48:53,193 --> 01:48:55,195
- I don't-- Jeez.
- [Will giggles]
2171
01:48:55,779 --> 01:48:58,073
It's just so cool. [chuckling]
2172
01:48:58,073 --> 01:49:00,283
- It's just so sweet.
- [Will chuckles]
2173
01:49:00,283 --> 01:49:02,702
- [both chuckling]
- [Harper] You know?
2174
01:49:02,702 --> 01:49:04,037
This is very special.
2175
01:49:05,038 --> 01:49:07,207
- I'm going in. I'm going in!
- [Will] Whoa!
2176
01:49:07,207 --> 01:49:08,333
[Harper chuckles]
2177
01:49:09,918 --> 01:49:11,586

2178
01:49:11,586 --> 01:49:13,088

Dolores.

[Will] Cornelius.
2181
01:49:20,053 --> 01:49:21,096
So what's next?
2182
01:49:22,806 --> 01:49:23,807
[Harper] For me,
2183
01:49:25,183 --> 01:49:27,310
tomorrow, I'm running it back.
2184
01:49:27,310 --> 01:49:30,564
I gotta get back to New York,
so I'm gonna drive back across.
2185
01:49:31,481 --> 01:49:33,191
What are you doing, by the way?
2186
01:49:33,775 --> 01:49:36,361
[Will] I've literally got nothing.
I'm wide open.
2187
01:49:37,070 --> 01:49:40,031
- You wanna go back with me?
- Yeah, let's just run it back.
2188

- Take a new route.
- New route. Great.
2189
