Oh, my gosh.

Aren't you

Mm-hmm.
Are you not exhausted,

Boys.
Oh, yeah.
I am -- Ooh, I'm exhausted.
I am satisfied.
Okay.
Okay, yeah.
But I just need to look
at the internship page
because they post new ones
first thing every morning.
Obviously,
no fashion ones.
Plus, anything that's
just halfway decent
is gone by 10:00 a.m.
I mean,
at this point,
I think I'm gonna have to roll
with the -- what is it? --
the We Wash Doggy
Mobile Grooming internship.
Ah. Nope.
Spoke too soon.
That's gone, too.
I think it's so wild that Cal U
is sweating you
over these stupid
internship credits.
I mean, haven't you done
like five of them already?
Uh, two.
And technically,
I never finished them,
and without the credit,
I can't graduate.
Which is crazy, because I've met
my class requirements,
I have more than enough units
to graduate,
and my grades are fi--
well, okay,
my grades are decent,
but I was so excited
for the big luau tonight
and celebrating
finally seeing the finish line.
Instead, I'm just gonna
be stressing
about
this internship stuff.
What luau
are you talking about?
Uh,
Doug and Luca's luau.
They're calling in the
"Lil' Litty Luau."
Remember?
No.
I don't.
And I would because
I hate alliteration.
Uh, yeah, no, I'm not --
I'm not gonna go to that.
And I don't know
why you're going.
Isn't Luca the reason why you're
up at the buttcrack of dawn
applying for
a poodle-washing gig?
I don't know why
you'd still want to go.
You should be
mad at him.
Oh.
I am.
But it's my Senior year,
and I'm not gonna let Luca
stop me from going
to my last handful of parties.
Plus, fun fact, I --
I love fire.
And a luau has pigs
roasting over fire.
They have fire walkers.
They have fire eaters.
They have so much fire.
Yeah. You like fire.
I get it.
Come on.
Be the moth to my flame tonight.
Listen, even if I wanted
to go to this thing,
which I absolutely do
not want to go...
Hmm?
...I have to teach
my midnight class.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
We could
link up afterwards.
And I could give you
some litty lit lovin'.
You saw
what I did there?
You know what?
You're right.
I do hate alliteration now.
You loved them.
You literally loved them --
No.
Stop talking.
Doug said
he updated our budget.
I just need to know
if we have enough money
to properly execute
my vision for this luau.
Okay.
Well, let's check it out.
Dude, you've already
got like
500 confirmed pre-sales
for tonight.
Looks like you guys
are sitting pretty great.
Yeah, our Lil' Litty Luau
is gonna be lit...
literally.
I just wish Kervell
would hit me back.
Kervell?
Yeah.
My fire guy.
You do realize you don't need
a "fire guy" to make fire.
Peasant.
I just hope Doug got enough
security for tonight
'cause that sh*t
is going to be cuh-raaazy fire.
Like Hanukkah.
Oh, can you actually
hit up Doug to double-check?
I got to try
Big Kerv again.
Mm.
I don't know.
I mean, are you sure you're
gonna be comfortable with me
calling Doug, you know,
considering you had
such a big problem
with us texting?
No.
Pretty sure I have a problem
with you entangling with my boy.
And I'm pretty sure
I have a problem
with you telling me who I can
and can't entangle with.
Listen, I don't want
to infringe
on your advanced
educational experience,
but you're my sister.
Doug's my guy.
The three of us equals
a trifecta of greatness.
The two of you hooking up
could put our greatness at risk.
And to be honest,
the most important third
of this trifecta is you.

there's something
brewing between

Okay.
Nothing's brewing.
We're just friends.
And maybe at some point
something was a-brew...

And nothing.
You know, we had a few drinks.
Had a few mozzarella sticks.
Des showed up
in a dress.
And, uh,
brewing ended.
I'm sorry,

and I didn't think
I'd have a problem with it,
but when he showed up
wearing a dress,
it was game over
for me --
Now, look, before any of you
come for me -- Nomi --
I just want to say that I know
it's more of my issue
and not Des's issue,
alright?
But I can't imagine myself
having sex with someone
who also shops at the club dress
section at FashionNova.
Okay, well,
in Des's defense,
it seems like you can't see
yourself having sex with anyone,
considering the last person
you were with
was Doug
a year ago.
Look, Jazz,
zero judgment, okay?
I'm just -- I'm wondering
if this is less of a Des issue
and more
of a Doug issue?
[ Sighs ]
The only issue is figuring out
a way to break it to Des
that I'm not interested
without ruining the friendship.
Which is exactly why you need
to be honest and direct.
Just go down there and rip
that q*eer band-aid right off.
Okay. Okay.
You're right.
You're right.
I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna rip it off.
I'm gonna go do it.
