Jenny Slate and Michelle Williams were hard at work, yet again, playing best friends on the Brooklyn set of their upcoming FX limited series, Dying for Sex.
On Tuesday, filming – which originally began March 4 – took place outside the real-life Garden Gourmet Deli & Grill.
For the scene, the 42-year-old SAG Award winner used a colorful psychedelic scarf to shield the 43-year-old Emmy winner as she sat on stacked boxes of Fiji Water and Blue Moon beer.
Jenny and Michelle then animatedly talked to a large mystery man, who appeared to be portraying the deli’s owner.
Slate and Williams were then joined by a female crew member to map out how they should play the outdoor scene.

The Dawson’s Creek alum stars as Molly, a woman diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer who leaves her husband of 15 years in order to explore her sexuality and heal past trauma with the time she has left.

Williams’ costume consisted of a black winter coat over a white-knit sweater, blue jeans, and black booties.
