To give us a taste of what’s in store, the two recorded a series of promos with cast member Kenan Thompson. Decked out in holiday-themed sweaters, Tina and Amy show that they’re totally on their game—and will likely be very comfortable back at their old stomping grounds. Some of their humor comes at the expense of Thompson, who they “squeeze until the candy comes out” and force to dress up as a snowman. It’s going to be a big weekend for the duo, because their movie _Sisters_ comes out on Friday. ## Transcript I'm about to read from Paula Pell's diary. Ready? And the penmanship is one of a serial killer. Sisters are originated from me sort of searching to come up with a movie idea to write. And I was looking through my journal from when I was 13. Holy ****. And a lot of the film is based off her experience with her sister. He said, let me show you something. My sister in my journals were wildly different. You could just tell reading them who was getting action and who was humping their pillow. That **** is juicy. February 19. May 31. April 21. First, a description of myself. I'm 13 I have blueish, greenish eyes and have a [ LAUGH ]. What is this? A heavy build. Unfortunately. Bless her heart. He will look back and squint his little eyes in a hate look and so do I. I'm not even kidding, does this say, kindness is masturbating to me? Oh, that's fun. I wish I was kidding. My journal is not without sexual energy and a lot of curiosities. Making out is. Is the big thing at Saint Rays. Dares started to involve two people smooching. It's hot. One thing I noticed a lot tonight is that I was being very physical. This is a sexy book. In the way of touching. [ NOISE ] There's a treasure a map. This is the Paula I know, oh ****, motel hell, okay, now I believe this is Paula's. I've always been a little off color. And I have a very strong sense of humor. ****, that first beginning thing is so funny. [ LAUGH ]. I'm still laughing. Last entry. In two more days, I will be done shooting my first movie I wrote myself. It was filled with old friends I love to laugh at and some new friends who have found their way into my heart. I wish this movie could be a nine- hour miniseries. But, it'll be a little shorter than that, good news for all the moviegoers. I don't wanna leave this house, but I know deep down that home is a feeling. And I will carry this feeling for the rest of my life. Get off the phone with your boyfriend, we gotta go to bed. Good night, sis. Good night, Paula. [ MUSIC ] Stop snoring.
