WOMAN (OVER PA): Sorry to announcement to passengers on Delta Flight 4251 to Atlanta.

The flight has been delayed due to bad weather conditions.

The flight crew has arrived at the gate, and the ground crew will be deicing the wings of the aircraft...

Here you go. Happy Holidays. Thanks.

WOMAN: Just what I need. Thank you.

Here you go. Happy... Oh. Happy Holi... Get a real job.

I need a real job, too. Thank you.

I said I wouldn't, but that edible really kicked in.

I don't get it. I mean, it looks fine outside, but they're saying there's a Nor'easter with a b*mb cyclone in New York.

Don't say b*mb in the airport.

I mean, okay, but they're not gonna let us, like, fly out in that, right?

I don't know. I don't think you should be reading those weather apps, man.

They're trying to sensationalize to draw ad traffic.

Yeah. Well, not all of us can just, like, get stoned and check out like you can. Oh yeah.

(MUMBLES): Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(SIGHS) You got any more classic quotes from your dad?

Um, no, they all sound the same.

Yeah, I'm sure they do.

WOMAN (OVER PA): We regret to inform you that American flight 1487 with service to Phoenix Sky Harbor International is canceled.

(CROWD GROANING) Hell yeah.

Cancel culture wins again.

What, you didn't wanna go?

I mean, I'm not trying to get on a plane in the first place, let alone one that's going into a b*mb cyclone. Well, you just said b*mb.

(HUSHED): We gotta stop saying b*mb. (PHONE BLOOPS)

Okay, here's the plan.

I say we go back to my place in Brooklyn, and that way, you don't have to go all the way back uptown just to come back downtown tomorrow morning. I mean, I can just meet you back here tomorrow, that's also fine.

You could just also see my new place, meet my new dog.

No? It'll be fun.

You're just gonna go to your dorm and spend the night alone? Yeah, hopefully.

Come on. We'll go to my place, we'll do a little Hanukkah thing.

We'll make latkes.

We make matzo ball soup.

ILANA: I don't know. Oh, I know. I like this plan.

I like it a latke.

ILANA: Uh-huh. Stop.

♪ Oh, I like latkes, lots of latkes ♪

(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING)

WOMAN (OVER RADIO): Merry Christmas. It's gonna be...

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

WOMAN: No, grab all three! She wanted the whole pack.

Hey. DESTINY: Don't pet that cat.

Why? Is it diseased?

DESTINY: (SCOFFS) I can't with you right now.

Ladies and gentlemen, please pass the empty baskets back once you're done with them. Thanks so much.

Enjoy your day!

(DESTINY GRUMBLING)

(BABY CRYING) (PHONE RINGING)

PAM-ANNE: You need help? DESTINY: Oh.

I got it, I got it, I got it.

(BABY CRYING) Aw, hey!

DESTINY: ¿Hablas inglés? Okay, hi.

We have a reservation for four nights starting tonight, but our connecting flight in was canceled due to weather here in New York.

We'll be on the first flight tomorrow, but are we out the money we paid for tonight?

(QUIETLY): I would yell. I'm not gonna yell.

Why can't we stay in a hotel?

Because I pay rent here.

And why is it called a crash pad?

That's a terrible name. Oh, I don't know.

Well, at least I can meet some of your friends.

Girl, I don't know these people!

PAM-ANNE: What?

Isn't everybody Delta? DESTINY: Pam, I don't know! Stop!

THE GUY: Your sister visited my last apartment, but you're the first one in the family who's actually ever been here, so welcome.

Did you just leave that burning?

Oh. No, that's the, uh, the dog-sitter, it looks like.

Stupid.

Yeah. Okay, that makes two.

Can I take your coat? Yeah.

Um, did, uh, Dad tell you that Margaret d*ed?

No. I'm sorry. She was such a good dog.

I know. She was old. She was, like, 16, but it was still definitely sad.

Yeah, it happens.

(SIGHS) So, this is the house that weed built.

This is a carriage house built by a Dutchman in the 1800s, most likely, but I can afford it because it doesn't have a certificate of occupancy, so, shh! Hmm.

And you'll be staying here. Mm.

No one's ever slept up there. It's fun. I do not know about going up and down this ladder.

The ladder's safe. Okay, but you just said no one's slept up there before, so how would you know?

I don't know. Uh, yeah.

Oh! You know what?

I joined this community garden this year.

It was a really good summer.

I made pickles.

I made all these pickles. I grew all of this food.

Do you want a pickle? Do you want... Take any one.

Um, I don't really do pickles.

Well, do you do Judaism? 'Cause that's part of it.

And then I got plant world over here.

This is money tree.

It's hard to k*ll. Dracaena.

I'm even growing some stuff. Check this out.

This is a sesame.

I just dropped in a f*cking sesame seed.

(DOOR SLAMS, MAN GRUNTS)

ILANA: Cool. Oh!

Hey! You're gonna love this. CHAD: Hello?

Here's my little baby! Oh!

(FOMO GROWLS)

(HIGH-PITCHED): Nice to see you!

Ilana, this is Fomo. Hello, Fomo.

THE GUY: Hey. Hey. How are you, my baby?

I'm sorry about your flight. Oh, I'm not. It's okay.

Uh, Chad, this is Ilana. Ilana, this is Chad.

He's my, uh... Chad.

ILANA: Hello. That's nice. Hello.

THE GUY: Yeah. So, you live in Arizona?

No, I live, uh, here.

Yeah, she's going to Barnard. CHAD: Mm!

I know of it. THE GUY: Yeah.

Aw, she likes you, Ilana.

CHAD: You like living here? Um, it's fine.

(FOMO WHINES) She doesn't really go below 110th Street.

Why would you? ILANA: That's true, yes.

CHAD: Oh, I'm glad I got you here.

Um, I have some preemptive concerns about your babies in the closet.

Uh, let's... (ILANA CLEARS THROAT)

... talk about that over here. Oh. Okay.

ILANA: So cute.

I think you might have spider mites.

No... Yeah.

This "mite" be a problem. (THE GUY CHUCKLES)

THE GUY: Where? CHAD: See what I'm saying?

Well, under here, I think these are little webs...

THE GUY: That's impossible, man.

I f*cking sprayed it with an insecticide.

This isn't supposed to...

CHAD: Okay, I mean, I'm not a doctor, but I think...

Hi. These are weed plants.

Mm. Cool. Yeah, just keep breaking the law.

THE GUY: Uh... I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

It's almost legal, though, truly.

Fomo, are you coming with me?

THE GUY (QUIETLY): So, that's my narc side of the family.

Her dad is, like, a total f*ckin' narc.

He actually told on somebody at the Tom Petty concert for smoking weed.

This is your brother? Yeah. Like, during that "Roll Another Joint" song, like...

What tour was that?

Tell her, tell her, I'll be home soon, and Annie May, don't...

Some folks are going to a place called Austin's.

Okay. We should go!

It could be fun!

Hey, that's my bed.

Sorry.

JENNIE: I was gonna wrap it as soon as I got there.

Can you, can you do it?

Wrap it and hide it from him?

Why you locking up your rings?

JENNIE: ... birthday paper and Christmas paper.

PAM-ANNE: I feel weird being here.

Can we please get a hotel room?

Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry, they are.

Okay, well, you can have my bed, and I'll just take the couch.

No, you can take the bed. I'll take the couch.

You could at least pretend to fight me on that. Damn.

I'm gonna need you to be real quiet, ladies. Thank you.

It's fine. (SIGHS)

I can sleep on my yoga mat.

Ho, ho, ho! Ho, ho, ho!

I've got some mulled wine for you ladies here.

So, where were you supposed to be today, Cesar?

Oh, I was supposed to fly to Nashville to see my boyfriend, Ephraim, but he got rerouted to Charlotte. It's a whole mess.

Aw!

Well, maybe you can get there tomorrow.

Oh, I don't know, honey, you know?

They're talking about winds all night and all morning, and more snow.

I-I just don't know.

Oh.

THE GUY: Did you see Chernobyl?

ILANA: I did. Really good show.

Yeah? It's very crazy that we almost f*cked up, like, almost everything in that one town.

I mean, they did f*ck up everything.

THE GUY: Yeah, but it... you know, like, nature still bounced back from Chernobyl, right?

We won't survive, but the Earth will.

Kind of beautiful, I guess.

It's very beautiful.

(TRADITIONAL CHINESE MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)

How are those working for you?

Um, yeah. I mean, so far so good.

It's, like, the best combo they've found for me, so...

Great. You do talk therapy with it, too?

Um, yeah. I still talk to the woman I was seeing in high school.

Really? On the phone.

That's very lucky, man.

I don't know if I would say I'm lucky.

I don't know, man.

If I had, like, a f*cking therapist in high school, I would've been... Not a stoner?

(INHALES) Uh...

Maybe so.

This soup is f*ckin' the sh*t.

Dude, this soup is f*ckin' awesome, right?

I mean, it's fine.

I like it. It's just, like, not the best I've ever had.

Well, give me top three soups. Go. Um... chicken noodle... Mm-hmm. matzo ball... That's basically chicken noodle, more or less. And then like egg drop, probably. I should've ordered that.

Maybe next time. I like a lentil soup. Next time.

Lentils make me gassy. Well... you got "lentil illness".

Wait. Wait, hold on, hold on. Are you...

We're at dinner. Well, I just know you're always on the clock, so I don't know what you're doing.

You know, maybe, maybe you're working.

No, we're at dinner, dude. Okay, fine. I'm waiting on the phone with the airline, but I found a flight out of Newark at noon tomorrow, which I think I'm just...

No, please don't. Please stop. - So, I'm gonna book it, and I suggest you show up three hours early

Stop, stop. First of all, you lost me at Newark.

And second, we can get there five hours early tomorrow, man.

Oh!

My family is super Catholic and super strict.

I don't know them anymore.

But we always had a huge tree, and I would love to go to Christmas Eve service.

JENNIE: Mm. Mm-hmm.

I go to Hillsong...

Isn't that the Justin Bieber church?

Yes. He came to service once. KALEN: I don't "belieb".

But... but, I-I'm a Christian.

I'm on the path, but I don't respect what your family did to you, and I don't respect how people are treating you.

God is God.

Christians in the US, they don't believe in, um, science, right?

Science was my favorite subject in school.

(LAUGHS) Um, I just don't really talk about it with Caleb very much 'cause it's... he's very, um...

Yeah.

What about your friends from school?

Um... Do you still talk to them on, like, Instagram or whatever?

I don't use social media. Really?

That's impressive. I mean, I feel like I'm, like, messed up enough already, and social media would just make it worse.

You're not messed up. I-I have accepted that I am, and it's just, like, something that runs in our family.

It just sucks that I got stuck with the Uncle Jonah gene.

Oh, I thought I got stuck with the Uncle Jonah gene.

I think it's kind of bullshit, man.

Like, any time any person in the Mann family is going through a hard time... and all of a sudden, there's this boogeyman of Uncle Jonah and his mental illness that hangs over us and it makes us feel like what we're feeling is wrong.

Yeah. Everyone just says that I remind them of him.

I want you to eat that donut.

(LAUGHS)

I'll take a donut. Yeah, there you go.

Yeah.

I just... I feel like my parents are scared of me, and I don't even know what they would be scared of, but, eh...

Here's what I found in the past 15 years, since I've been gone.

Is that all of the people that our family said was weird, or, like, f*cked up, are just kind of normal people, and they just don't match with our family's version of normal.

You know? Yeah. Yeah.

They're very judgy.


Yeah.

Why do you think I said I worked at Vimeo for all those years?

Did you not? No!

(ILANA LAUGHS) No. I had a client who I used to deliver to who worked there, and I thought the building was cool, but no.

And guess what?

I'm f*ckin' good. I'm happy.

I really like what's going on.

(SIGHS) Until I tell anything about my actual life to those people, and then I'm made to feel like I'm not fine, and I'm told that I'm not fine.

Yeah, I can relate to that.

Yeah, I'm sure.

But you know what? There's nothing wrong with us.

We're not broken, and we don't need to be fixed.

We're all just, just trying to maintain, and we each got our own way of doin' it.

We've been DMing for a few months.

Is that why you wanted to go on this trip?

So you can meet some guy from Instagram?

Uh...

What did I do? CESAR: Nothing.

People get jealous when other people are having sex.

It happens to me all the time.

You know, I watched something, right, about these men, and they... and they claim to be veterans, and they, and they screw lonely women out of all their money.

LUCY: Yeah, I saw that.

You'll be snorkeling for catfish if you're not careful.

I gave up my seat. Told them I'm having a personal emergency, so, you know, the truth. Someone is absolutely gonna call me out for this vest.

Dude, it's kosher. She's registered to you.

All right. Don't stress.

I mean, I'm stressed that you haven't picked anywhere yet.

That's part of the fun.

(MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER PA)

Oh, what about Tokyo?

It's pretty cold there. I feel like you'd need to buy, like, way warmer clothes than you brought.

Yeah, I think I want somewhere warm.

Yeah. Uh, I mean, you should definitely stay somewhere south of the equator then.

(GASPS)

New Zealand!

Mordor!

Wow. That's awesome.

Okay, this is a very expensive and long 30-hour trip.

Just do it. You know what? Thirty-hour trip.

I will give you some Klonopin, and then you can watch, like, 20 movies, or however f*cking long that is, and eat some Chex Mix, and then at the end of the 20 movies, you'll be there.

Okay. Here you go.

I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna get on the next flight to Auckland.

You should do it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Aw yeah.

MAN (OVER PA): Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. At this time, we'll begin boarding American flight...

All right, baby. Come on, Fomo. THE GUY: Let's go.

Good girl!

(ANNOUNCEMENT CONTINUES INDISTINCT)

Well, baby. (SIGHS)

Have fun out there.

It's just gonna be a couple weeks, okay?

You're gonna see her again.

I know. I'm just getting used to this joint custody thing.

Take care of that eye, please, 'cause if that eye goes... Yes.

... it's all over. Right. Fair enough.

I had fun. That was fun. (FOMO WHINES)

Yeah, it was.

(BARKING) Aw, you ready to go, girl?

Don't you forget about me.

Don't, don't, don't. Well, thank you for this, seriously.

For real, thanks. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. I'll talk to you.

All right, Fomo. Okay.

Bye, Uncle Rufus.

Bye, Ilana. Come on.

Bye, Fomo.

(MAN SPEAKING OVER PA INDISTINCTLY)

We are now inviting those passengers with small children and any passengers requiring...

(SIGHS)

Please have your boarding pass and identification ready.

Regular boarding will begin in approximately 10 minutes' time.

Thank you.
