Dua Lipa's Dollhouse date night
As the scene unfolds, Hernández's character is immediately struck by the hundreds of Sonny Angel dolls lining the walls.
"They're companions for 25-year-old working women," Lipa explains. However, she assures him that he won't need to compete with her 650+ dolls for her affection—just one.
Cue Bowen Yang, dressed as one of the said dolls. Oh, and the Challengers soundtrack.
“I haven’t seen the movie,” Hernández admits, to which Yang replies: “Well, don’t worry, 'cause you’re about to live it.”
Impressed by their quick and engaging conversation, Dua Lipa turns up the music and leaves to get a snack while her date continues to banter with her Sonny Angel doll.
"Finally, two boys who can actually keep up," she says, returning with a plate of churros for them to munch on. She sits between them and asks them to kiss. Little does her date know that he's about to become part of her collection.
