Mindy Kaling celebrated her 36th birthday yesterday the way we pretty much all want to celebrate our birthdays—in pajamas, wearing a crown, eating McDonald's (opens in new tab), watching a scary movie. (No? Just me?)

But the actress also took the time to call out her friend Lena Dunham for a special birthday wish:

I would also love a dubsmash of @lenadunham doing a portion of @tomhanks iconic "there's no crying in baseball" speechJune 24, 2015

And Dunham did not disappoint. Even though it looks like she was in the middle of working on Girls, the actress/producer/writer/hero granted Kaling's wish—and made us all envious of Hollywood's propensity for cool-girl friendships.
