actually houses out there

that have hallways? Like, you don't need

to go through someone's
bedroom to get to the kitchen.

[GROANS] Sounds boring.

[NOISEMAKER BLARES]

What is this? What are you doing?

Your father called this morning,

and he said he wants to
come for your birthday,

but I wanted to check with you first.

Oh, my God.

Mom, you are adorable,

but don't worry. He's not coming.

No, he called from the road,

and he said he's gonna get
here right about dinnertime.

[SIGHS] Okay, sure.

But I actually have plans tonight,

so even if he were
coming, which he's not,

- I wouldn't be here.
- Ooh.

Where are you going? What are you doing?

Just going to a party
that this guy is throwing.

- I might stop by.
- Hmm.

This guy. Is it Brodie?

[GROANS] You know what, Mom?

- Hmm?
- For my birthday,

could you just give me
the gift of boundaries?

Mm.

Even if it's just for the day.

Sure, I'll try anything once.

I just want to say be careful,

'cause those cute boys
who know they're cute...

- Oh, my God, Mom.
- It's trouble.

Trouble, trouble.

Okay, can you go now?

Boundaries. Go, go, go.

Wait, I'm, like, serious.

I know you're serious now,

serious yesterday morning

and the morning before that.

I prefer nighttime Julian. She's fun.

Okay, what if Brodie finds out?

Yes, that's usually what happens

when a teenager has sex with someone.

But I've been ignoring
him for three weeks now,

and he still isn't getting it.

And by "ignoring him,"
you mean answering him

with the bare minimum effort

and sending the occasional meme?

Yes.

I think you should
tell him how you feel.

Duh, you little bitch.

I can't tell him today
'cause it's his birthday

and we have drag wrestling.

And you would never do
something so selfish.

Shouldn't you be at work right now?

You're right.

Him not knowing about
us is so much easier.

Noah, there's no us
for him to know about.

We're just f*cking.

What a f*cking shitshow.

So tell me again how that was easier

than just telling Mingus

you didn't want to be their boyfriend.

[CHUCKLES] I couldn't do it.

I just...

Mingus...

Makes me feel like I'm a good person.

It's kind of sad how a
teenager is the only one

who could look at me
with, like, high regard.

Hi.

Look, I have no experience with this.

Most of the time, I'm
pretty self-contained,

you know?

I've had to be.

So I don't really know
how to handle messiness.

What are you saying?

I've slept with a lot of guys.

I mean, more than some
people would think,

but you're the only man
I've ever woken up with.

And that scares me.

I have a proposition for you.

Oh, I can't do meth. I
have a weak constitution.

[LAUGHS] You're so dumb.

If you promise to stop saying

that each time we have
sex is the last time,

then we don't have to
tell Brodie anything.

Maybe we don't have to
tell Brodie anything yet.

Wow.

- He really never came, huh?
- Hmm.

Did you have fun at the party?

Um...

You want some cake?

Yes. Yes, please.

Oh, my God. [CHUCKLES]

So what happened?

Mm, well...

I realized...

I am so my mother's daughter.

Mm, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Depends on the day.

[LIGHT SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]

But mostly a good thing.

Okay.

Happy birthday, Mingus.

[LAUGHS] Happy birthday, me.

[LAUGHS]

- It's really good.
- It is.
