A heartwarming scene in \u201cWill & Harper\u201d takes place at SW Steakhouse inside Wynn Las Vegas. Former \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d star Will Ferrell and his best friend, Harper Steele, make a stop there while road-tripping \u00a0across the US in the new Netflix documentary.<\/p>\n

Steele met Ferrell when both joined \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d on the same week in 1995. Steele was hired as the show\u2019s head writer.<\/p>\n

The reason the road trip is Netflix-worthy is because Ferrell used to know Steele by the first name Andrew. Shortly before the documentary begins, he came out as transgender to Ferrell. So the two decided to explore the US, and their new relationship, as they test how accepting strangers are when they meet a transgender person.<\/p>\n

For their dinner at SW, Ferrell dons a ridiculous disguise purchased earlier that day at a Las Vegas Goodwill store.<\/p>\n

The disguise is intended to prevent the two from benefiting from celebrity treatment but also to siphon attention away from Steele, who is not yet comfortable appearing in public as her new self.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis whole trip, obviously you\u2019re taking the heat off me, and that\u2019s just not the life of a real trans person,\u201d Steele tells Ferrell over dinner. \u201cBut when I was in the Goodwill today, I just felt way more comfortable, and that\u2019s a bit of a result of this trip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their server, John, seems to have been tipped off to Ferrell\u2019s presence long before the \u201cAnchorman\u201d star\u2019s fake moustache detaches from his face, however.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m David Abernathy, I managed Bette Midler for a little while, and Air Supply,\u201d Ferrell introduces himself to John, who smiles a little too widely.<\/p>\n

After John disappears, Ferrell asks Steele: \u201cDo you think John knows it\u2019s me?\u201d<\/p>\n

Steele replies: \u201cJohn is suspicious, let\u2019s be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

This dinner goes markedly better than one they had at another steakhouse, the Big Texan State Ranch in Amarillo, Tex., which led to Ferrell breaking down and apologizing on the car ride to the next town.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I let you down in that moment,\u201d Ferrell says through tears. \u201cI was like, \u2018Oh, shit, \u2018We gotta worry about Harper\u2019s safety.\u2019\u2026 That\u2019s where I just\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWill and Harper,\u201d which also stars \u201cSNL\u201d album Wille Forte, Molly Shannon and Kristen Wiig, is currently streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
