It's time for the big shoot and New York comes out wearing a karate uniform and a spare wig from those duracell battery people commercials in the 90's. A board is laid out and she's supposed to chop it after taking a swig of the energy drink she's promoting, which is probably red bull in a can made by the prop department. New York, drama queen as ever, says that the stuff is gross and she has trouble keeping it down. Which makes me wonder - what if it isn't redbull and is in fact, some kobe beef cow's piss or something. New York confirms the suspicion when she asks if there's fish oil in there, and for her sake I hope there was.
On the other hand, she's showing a knack for a role in that New Jack City sequel she's always hoped for.
After the puking incident, New York goes for her big board break. They tell her that once she's done breaking the board she should say her lines, and the director laughs maniacally, channeling last weekend's improv class. But I think they can only take "Japanese Stereotype" so many times as a character before they stop laughing.
Hirarious.
After taking a swig of the nasty shit New York goes for a board break, but you can tell by the size of the 2 x 4, it's basically a way for her to mess up her hand. She valiantly continues to try so she can show Chuck that she doesn't give up easily, but after slamming her elbow, it becomes too much to take and she decides to go after the carpenter.
"You ain't gone sneak away from me you little ninja!"
Finally, the carpenter relents and gives her a board that actually breaks this time. New York nails it, and gets her line down perfectly. She leaves with a good feeling, but some real hunger after throwing up thanks to the fish oil.
How do you say, "I Love myself thiiiiis much" in Japanese?
Next week, we'll see if she gets a gig that wasn't an elaborate set up by the producers (not likely). Until then, gasmii!

Great recap, although I can't believe you didn't mention my 2 favorite parts. Even if it was scripted, it was hilarious when the director went apesh*t on the prop department guy. My other favorite part was when she expressed how nervous she was around the all-asian crew: "If I did something to offend them, they'd all know karate and go off on me" It amazes me how someone, even new york, can be this ignorant. Sometimes I wonder if she's for real, or just a character....any thoughts?

The commercial was totally an attempt to ape that commercial scene in Lost in Translation, including the director's loud "CUTO, CUTO, CUTO!" and action commands. And New York's quest for a japanese person in LA might be the most offensive 5 minutes on tv this year.
In response to tv freak: I too wonder this. I don't know, there are some moments in the show like the part showing New York in acting class where I feel like we are seeing the genuine her, even bordering on charming...bordering. Tailor Made is still with her, so there must be something there.

I take it they pulled you off of recapping this show due to its sheer lack of content. We'll miss you HayHor!!!
