Ken Yeah. Buckle up, babe. Because Barbie Land is now Ken Land! And it’s gonna be just like Century City in Los Angeles, because they had it all figured out in Century City. The minute you get out of your car, you’re like, "I can’t believe how great this place is"!

Barbie No, no, no. They don’t have it figured out in Century City because we failed them.

Ken No, YOU FAILED ME! Out there, I was somebody. And when I walked down the street… people respected me just for who I am...

Barbie (Stereotypical Barbie) Basically, everything that men do in your world, women do in ours.

Ken (Beach Ken) Don't look at me!

Gloria It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful and so smart. And it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong. You have to be thin but not too thin, and you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also, you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining. You're supposed to stay pretty for men but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be very grateful, but never forget the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault. I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know.

CEO of Mattel Women are at the foundation of this company! There was a female CEO in the 90s and then another one... at some point. So that's two right there!

Ken (Beach Ken) To be honest, when I found out the ] wasn't about horses, I lost interest anyways.

CEO of Mattel If this got out, this could mean extremely weird things for our world. This would be catastrophic!

Ken I just don't know who I am without you.

Barbie You're Ken.

Ken But it's Barbie and Ken. There's no just Ken. That's why I was created. I only exist within the warmth of your gaze. Without it, I'm just another blond guy who can't do flips.
