01:53Um, hi. I'm inquiring about the open bartender job.
01:57Hey, I'm Nikki. Do you have any experience?
01:59Um, kind of. My grandparents drank a lot growing up.
02:03No
02:05I don't have time for training wheels
02:07I need someone who knows their way around the bar
02:11Please, I promise I catch on quick

04:01The
04:02The
04:04Lina, love, you're in control
04:08Such a mythic ear
04:10To think I ever had it on
04:15Got my new leather jacket that I slip on
04:20Not sure if it will fit
04:22Will it fit?
04:23But I'll stretch and move to the basics
04:27So you wanna take a ride
04:32Up the hill, down the horizon
04:38You've been moving in stranger ways
04:44You did good tonight
04:51Here's your cut of the tips
04:53Thank you
04:55Tonight was fun
04:57First time?
04:58Guilty
04:58Looked like you enjoyed yourself
05:00I didn't know drag shows were so much fun
05:03They were all really good
05:04Yeah, we started this a few years ago as an amateur night
05:07Now we sell out every Thursday
05:08Um, well
05:13Good night
05:14See you tomorrow
05:15Really?
05:17I got the job
05:18Yeah
05:18You got potential, Lucy
05:20Plus I can't fight the feeling that
05:22Maybe you need this more than anyone else
05:24Thank you
05:26Good night
05:27Well, well, well
05:40Where were you last night?
05:42I got a job
05:43Bartending
05:44At Blackstone's
05:45Interesting
05:47I'm off to work
05:49Will I see you tonight?
05:51I'm going to the bar for training
05:52But I'll be home for dinner
05:54I can cook
05:55That's not necessary
05:57I said you could stay here
05:58Till you found a place
05:59No obligations, Lucy
06:01I want to
06:03Okay
06:07I'll see you later then
06:08Bye
06:25I was also afraid to go
06:37I was kind of doing my contour like down
06:40I was doing it too low and it didn't look good
06:41End of story, okay
06:42I found my magic point on my face
06:46Where I can widen my nose
06:48And use the bonds of your face
06:51As a reference point
06:52Everyone's face is different
06:54Like Charlie Chaplin
06:56So my brow kind of naturally does it
06:57So we're going to follow that
06:59This trick blows my mind
07:01And I still don't really understand how it works
07:03But fuck me, does it work?
07:04Have you ever been to a drag show?
07:17I went once
07:19In New York City
07:20It was for a bachelorette party I think
07:22Why do you ask?
07:24The bar does weekly drag shows
07:26You should come
07:28You can watch a bunch of men parade around
07:30You dress and do their makeup better than me?
07:33No thanks
07:39I miss this
07:42Feels like old times
07:47Lucy, I'm glad you're excited about this new job
07:50I just wonder
07:53What are you going to do in the future?
07:55You're not going to be in your twenties forever
07:58Can you not do that?
08:00Do what?
08:01Mother me
08:02We always did this when we were dating
08:04Can't we just have a nice dinner that doesn't lead to a fight?
08:07Of course
08:08I'm sorry
08:10I'm sorry
08:12Yeah
08:16It's fine
08:18You don't have to be mad at me
08:20I'm not
08:21I'm not
08:22I swear
08:23You're mothering me
08:24You made me dinner
08:25And it's very good
08:27That's good
08:28You want some more of it?
08:29Yeah
08:30Okay
08:31I'm not going to finish it
08:32You just get me a top up
08:33Are you going to miss the cup?
08:34Seriously, thank you
08:35Of course
08:36This is nice
08:37This is nice
08:38This is nice
08:39And you look amazing
08:41In your cute little ruffle
08:56Give me this
08:57Give me this
08:58I'm going to miss
08:59I'm getting this.
09:29How long have you been dressing up in drag?
09:44Ten years.
09:46Why do you do it?
09:48Why does anybody get on stage, honey?
09:50The love of performance.
09:54But why dress up like a woman?
09:57Why not just, like, join a theater or something?
10:00Because she's a part of me.
10:04I don't know if that'll make sense to you or not,
10:06but I live my normal life as boring Kyle, the boring attorney.
10:12When I'm dressed as Cherry Lemonade,
10:15I get to express a different side of myself.
10:20It does, actually.
10:22A lot.
10:26Why are there so many more queens than kings?
10:28Because we're sexier, obviously.
10:31Men dressing in drag, well, that's been around since the Shakespearean times,
10:35but drag kings are still earning their place in the drag world.
10:40Also, just the demand.
10:41There's a higher ratio of women to men in the shows.
10:44Not so fast.
10:45Let's acknowledge women like Gladys Bentley and Ellis Shields,
10:48who had been performing in Crossdress since the early 1900s.
10:51All right, interview over.
10:55Don't you have a bar to keep?
10:56Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you.
11:00Attention, ladies and gentlemen.
11:03Showtime.
11:04In 20?
11:06Thanks, 20.
11:07Thanks.
11:07Bye.
11:19Bye.
11:21Yeah.
11:22Yeah.
11:23Underrated, underrated.
11:24We the underdogs.
11:25Underestimated.
11:27Underrated, underrated.
11:28We the underdogs.
11:30Underestimated.
11:30We the one, we the one, we the one, yeah, out of the darkness I rose up, golden mics
11:41told it's a gold rush, yeah, yeah, uh, honor and freedom I toast up, kicking game on the
11:46snare drum, hard on that beat, let it bleed out like sacrifices, cut it open emotions,
11:51spilling like oil and coasting, there are people, my mental, I'm pinning a pistol and
11:55shoot down the criticisms, individually I heard the voices that told us, yeah, yeah,
11:59throw dirt on my name and wish me the worst and scold us, yeah, shot through the heart and
12:04pray on my downfall, but young teeth prevailed on my outlaw, stand on top of the table like
12:09John Wall, got the cross on my chest like Olympic gold, rappers move on to feel like a jazz song,
12:14witness greatness, look up in the barn home, oh my god, oh my god, this is so disgusting,
12:29you know, Halloween isn't for another three months, right?
12:53never too early to find the perfect costume
13:23I'm sorry, this card declined, oh, um, turn this one, I'm sorry, would you like to sign up for a store rewards program and save 5%?
13:52may I?
13:58what's a natural beauty like you need so much makeup for anyway?
14:03I want to dress up in drag
14:05Walmart is cheaper
14:07will you help me?
14:14I won't
14:15pay back Saturday when I get paid
14:21but
14:23I think I know someone who can
14:27come on in, can I get you a drink, beer, water?
14:33water please
14:37come on in, can I get you a drink, beer, water?
14:42Come on in, can I get you a drink, beer, water?
14:51Water, please.
14:52Have a seat, I'll be right back.
15:09Yes.
15:12Thank you again for helping me out at the store.
15:17Oh, my pleasure.
15:20So, am I right to assume that you're gay?
15:25I am.
15:26Single.
15:28Recently dumped.
15:30She said I wasn't the same person she fell in love with.
15:34Well, are you?
15:36No.
15:38We all change.
15:39We grow.
15:40We outgrow.
15:43I know I'm different.
15:47I just haven't been able to explain it.
15:51Like when I came out and moved in with Harper, I started to shed my old identity.
15:59I guess I just feel like I haven't fully evolved into the new me yet.
16:04It takes time.
16:05Keep exploring.
16:06Are these your kids?
16:07Mine and my partners.
16:08How does your partner feel about you being a successful queen?
16:09Does he dress up too?
16:10Oh, hell no.
16:11And we're separated.
16:12Oh.
16:13Sorry to hear that.
16:14What happened?
16:15She did.
16:17Eight years ago when I started doing drag, it was more of a hobby.
16:20And he used to have this dad as his wife.
16:22Are you?
16:23Your dad?
16:24Is she?
16:25What?
16:26Is he?
16:27Is she?
16:28So, what's your dad?
16:30Sorry to hear that. What happened?
16:34She did.
16:39Eight years ago when I started doing drag, it was more of a hobby.
16:43And he was very supportive. He came to as many shows as he could, and he was my proudest muse.
16:51But when it started to become more like a full-time job, it became too much of a commitment.
16:57He said he wanted a full-time husband, and the children needed a father.
17:03Wow. I too can relate to feeling like you let someone down.
17:10We all make sacrifices. If you haven't yet, you will.
17:17Why are you helping me? The night we first met, you were so...
17:21Rude. Your word, not mine, but yes.
17:26I was feeling you out. Sometimes I feel people are quick to judge us.
17:31So, in defense, I was quick to judge you. And for that, I'm sorry.
17:38Oh, excuse me.
17:39Mya, meet Lucy. Mya is one of the best drag kings I know. Lucy, Mya.
17:54Hi, nice to meet you.
17:57So, Mya, Lucy wants to be in the next drag competition at the bar.
18:02Oh my gosh, congratulations. Have you picked out a name for him yet?
18:05What? How do I know who I want to be?
18:09It's not as much of who you want to be, but who you are. Deep down. Who else is there?
18:16This is your chance to set them free on stage.
18:19A switch flips when I hit that stage and I become this outgoing, over-the-top drag diva
18:26who can shake her ass better than Beyonce.
18:30Were your friends and family supportive when they found out?
18:33Of course, my friends were the ones that first encouraged me to dress in drag.
18:37That's the wonderful thing about our community. You won't be without support or inclusion.
18:42Have you told anyone yet?
18:43My parents still haven't accepted that I'm gay.
18:48I'm sure my mom prayed every night that this thing with Harper and I was just a phase.
18:54They would never understand this.
18:59Eric, mind if I steal her for a few?
19:00Oh, be my guest.
19:06I feel like you know what you want, Lucy, but you're scared.
19:11I just know I can't undo what people will think of me after they find out.
19:15Are you happy now?
19:18No.
19:21Well, if hiding who you are isn't making you happy, why not try living your truth?
19:25I tried. I moved in with my grandparents when I was 12 and they raised me, but it only drove my parents farther away.
19:35I understand. My advice, take it at your own pace. You can get involved with the local pride community,
19:41help out in pageants, and support philanthropic organizations.
19:45Ease into it. I promise you'll find all the support you need.
19:48Thank you, Maya.
19:53Lucy, will you be my drag son?
19:57What's that?
19:59Let's start with that pretty face of yours.
20:01I've had so much fun tonight.
20:17Fuck!
20:32Fuck!
20:51Fuck!
20:53Fuck!
20:54Fuck!
20:54Fuck!
20:59Fuck!
21:00What the fuck are you doing?
21:27Please tell me you did not sleep in your car last night.
21:29Where exactly did you expect me to go?
21:32I told you you could stay until you found a place.
21:37Three was kind of a crowd last night.
21:45Lissy, I'm sorry.
21:48Please come back inside.
21:57Nicky, do you have a pen?
22:10Yep.
22:14Lucy, Lucy, take a breath.
22:29Calm down and talk to me.
22:44What's happening?
22:47Can you talk to me, please?
22:49I can't stay knowing you're moving on.
22:53Well, where are you going to go?
22:57I put a deposit down on an apartment.
23:05Nicky said I can stay with her until I move in next week.
23:11Hey, I'm sorry.
23:24I'm sorry things didn't work out between us, Liz.
23:28Me too.
23:30You were right.
23:32I lost myself.
23:35And I know I can't make anyone else happy unless I'm happy with myself.
23:42I needed the tough love.
23:51Wow.
23:52I'm so proud of you.
23:57I'm so proud of you.
24:12I'm so proud of you.
24:18I'm so proud of you.
24:37Hi, Mrs. Rhodes, it's Harper.
24:55Look, I know you never exactly approved of Lucy and me, but that's not why I'm calling.
25:02Lucy needs you.
25:06She needs you.
25:08Come to Blackstone's this Thursday, 9 p.m.
25:12I'll let her explain the rest.
25:32What else?
25:33You look fantastic.
25:34Let's do a shop.
25:35Whatever you want.
25:36On the house.
25:37Strongest thing you've got.
25:38Coming right up.
25:39Cheers.
25:40Ooh.
25:41They look lost.
25:42Mom, Dad.
25:43What are you doing here?
25:45Well, Harper called.
25:48She said that we needed to be here, so here we are.
26:06We wanted to be here for you.
26:17Thank you for being here.
26:19I'm Jason Love, the real me, and I've never felt happier or more accepted for who I am.
26:28We may not understand this lifestyle, but life is short, and we don't want to miss out
26:35on any more of our daughter's life.
26:38We love you so much, Lucy.
26:40Next up, please welcome Blackstone.
26:42Oh, Jason, love to this day.
26:46That's me.
26:47I gotta go.
26:49Break the leg.
26:51I'm so nervous.
26:52I can't do this.
26:53I'm gonna be okay.
26:54That's the magic of it, honey.
26:56The minute that feeling goes away, it's time to hang up those wigs.
27:00Now, go.
27:01Have some fun.
27:02Come on.
27:27Underrated, underrated, we the underdogs, underestimated, we the one
27:31We the one
27:35Out of the darkness I rose up, voted my soul, it's a gold rush
27:43Honor and freedom I toast up, kicking game on the snare drum
27:47Heart on that beat, let it bleed out like sacrifices, cut it open emotions
27:50Spilling like oil and coasting, therapy for my mental, I'm pinning a pistol
27:55And shoot down the criticisms, individually I heard the voices that told us
27:58Throw dirt on my name and wish me the worst and scold us
28:03Shot through the heart and pray on my downfall, but Yanti prevailed
28:07On my outlaw, stand on top of the table like John Wall, got the cross on my chest
28:10Like Olympic gold, rap it smooth on the floor like a jazz song, witness greatness, look up
28:15In LeBron home, remember next time for you doubt us, that only made me
28:19Go John Jones, HGH I got the shortcut, got on my side
28:22You got bad luck, look at how they are, doubt us, how they doubt us
28:27Underrated, underrated, we the underdogs, underestimated, yeah
28:30Underrated, underrated, we the underdogs, underestimated, we the ones
28:35Yeah, yeah, we the ones
28:37We the ones
