Essex College?

Did you have to pick a school

that was , miles away
from me?

It's almost like I did
that on purpose.

I mean, Vermont?
Why's it even a state?

Bunch of potheads
making maple syrup.

I--I don't know, I'm just
happy that you made the time

[phone buzzing]
to drop me off at school.

Oh, okay, go on, honey.

It's just nice
to spend time with you.

[phone buzzing]
- Goddamm it.

Look, Jackie, I am dropping my
daughter off at college today.

That is the only thing
that matters.

Oh, CNN?
Okay, yes, put them through.

[whispers] Sorry.
[laughs]

Jake Tapper.
How you doin', sweetheart?


What am I commenting on
today?


[sighs]

Look, Beta,
I brought a surprise for you

to remind you of home.
It's Mr. Busby!

- Mom, are you serious?
- What?

You love Mr. Busby.

Mom, I'm not bringing my
teddy bear to college with me.

I'm years old, I'm in
the middle of my reinvention.

Not with the reinvention again.

Dad,
remember when Ben Affleck

got that giant back tattoo
of a phoenix rising up

from the ashes?

Is he in
"Manchester by the Sea"?

- Oh, very sad film.
- That's the other Affleck.

Look, that phoenix
made total sense to me.

Ben needed a change.

He needed to transform his life

with a permanent physical metamorphosis.

And so did I.

Four months ago, I was an
Indian loser with cystic acne,

sweaty armpits, and glasses.

But with Lasik procedure,
an Accutane prescription,

and medical-grade Botox
injected into my armpits,

I'm normal.

So should I throw
Mr. Busby away?

No, Mom, don't be stupid.

Just take him home and put him
on a shelf in my bedroom.

- Hey, there, kiddo.
- Hey, Dad.

Before we go inside,
I just want to say...

[crying]
- Um, Dad.

Don't cry, please.

You're the first Finkle
to go to college.

Dad, I need you not
to cry right now.

And I'm so proud of you.
You're such a special girl.

- Honey, honey--
- I haven't told you enough.

Why don't you go inside

and just
get yourself together.

Go sit in the car.

[rap music]

♪ ♪

Honey, you got to promise me
you're gonna be careful

because you're gonna meet
all kinds of, um, new people.

Are you saying that because
they're Middle Eastern?

That's so offensive.

I came here
because it's diverse.

We're from the whitest town
in the world.

Dad won't even eat tacos.
- Someone say tacos?

I can't handle that today,
my stomach is already a mess.

No, honey, no ethnic food.
I promise.

No, I meant rich people.
They can be a bad influence.

Do you remember
that Caleb Vicars boy?

He was two grades above you,
he got into Penn,

met some rich friends,
he got addicted to cocaine,

and got arrested...

[softly]
For selling his body.

- Mom!
- I don't want that future

for you.
- Yeah, Mom, I don't want to

become a prost*tute either.

[pop music]

[sighs] Something about
New England, isn't there?

Maybe it's the trees,
or the rivers, the air--

I just feel so alive here.

Dad, you're obsessed
with New England.

I mean, it's like you want
to have sex with New England.

Ha. That's not possible.

God, Esme and Francesca
haven't texted me back yet.

They probably have a ton
of new inside jokes by now.

You know, honey,
are you sure it's the best idea

to be roommates in college with
your friends from high school?

Shouldn't you branch out?

Dad, Esme and Francesca
are my soulmates.

Okay, they are literally the
best people I have ever known.

Okay, but what about
that time

that Francesca totally
abandoned you in Cape Cod?

She was having a really
tough time, okay?

Her dad just got audited.

Honey, I think
what I'm trying to say is

I don't think
Esme and Francesca

are the best influences on you,
you know?

They're kinda... assholes?

Dad, can you please not call
my friends assholes?

All right? And it doesn't even
make a difference, okay?

We're already living together.

Well,
if that's what makes you happy.

I mean, I guess
what's really important is that

my baby girl
is going to my alma mater!

I'm telling you,
after the next four years,

you're probably gonna want to
have sex with New England too.

Oh it's nice to meet you too.
These are my parents.

Carol and Dale.

- Hello.
- Great to meet you.

We're Irish.

Yeah, there's an
Indian restaurant in our town.

Never been.

I love your Seth Meyers poster.

You can really see his face.
- Thanks.

Yeah,
he's sort of my dream guy.

Double-thr*at
writer and performer on "SNL,"

just like I want to be.

It's like,
I want to have sex with him.

But I also want to be him.

Hey,
did you Google the other girls?

I obviously did.

Can you believe we're
living with Whitney Chase?

I know, it is so cool
that we're living

with a senator's daughter.

I bought
a copy of the Constitution

for her mom to sign.

Wouldn't it be nuts if, like,
two years from now,

we were all still
rooming together,

but she was like
president or something?

Oh, she's popular, sure,
I just don't think

she's respected enough
to be president.

Interesting. Ha ha.

I'd like to give
a quick rebuttal to that.

Senator Evette Chase from
the great state of Washington.

It is so lovely to meet
all of you.

- Hey, I'm Whitney.
- Oh, of course.

There you are, my daughter.

Oh, it's very exciting
to meet you, Your Honor.

You don't have to bow.

Can I take a photo with you
to put on the wall

of one of my restaurants?
- Maybe later.

Earl, can you close the door?

I have a few things
I want to say in private.

North Con Hall--
buncha great memories here.

One time,
I drank so many White Russians,

I threw up out
of that window right there.

- Ew, Dad.
- You're gonna love it here.

Yeah.

I already do.

It goes without saying,
I am a very public figure.

Oh, we get it,
we know all about your divorce.

Your ex sounded
like a real deadbeat.

- Thank you, he was.
- That's my dad.

Here's what I don't need.

I don't need to get woken up
in the middle of the night

by some frantic phone call
telling me Whitney

is getting high on opioids
with the roommates

and streaking across the quad
with their junk hanging out.

- Mom!
- Our Kimmy has never

touched dr*gs or alcohol.

She doesn't go out much.

I believe it.

And you don't have to worry
about me, Senator Chase.

I'm a committed student
eager to study the sciences.

Okay, that felt forced.
Look, I care about you girls.

Just don't embarrass me,
because then you're dead to me.

Oh, and if you could not tweet
for the next four years,

that'd be great.

Oh, my gosh,
you must be Leighton!

We're so happy to meet you.

I'm sorry,
who the f*ck are you?

- Leighton!
- What?

- Where are Francesca and Esme?
- Who are they?

Uh, my best friends
and my roommates?

Dude,
I think we're your roommates.

No.
[laughs] No, no, no, no.

Very nice to meet you all.

Have a great time in college.

What the f*ck is going on?

This is our roommate, Siddhartha.

We just showed up,

and they assigned us
with that random girl.

Trust me, we were
just as upset as you are.

Okay,
but how did this happen?

I mean, we filled out
the rooming questionnaire

the exact same way.
- I know!

Is it possible that maybe
you messed up your answers?

I mean, writing wasn't
your strong suit at Spence.

Excuse me!
She's a great writer, okay?

She wrote her Nana's eulogy--

I'll start.

Avalanche

I lost several relatives

for many days.

Next?

I'm scared of my stalker.

which are delicious.
- So cool!

Who else?

Um, I am a little nervous
about my work-study interview

tomorrow.
- Wait, you have a job?

Well, I applied for one.

Yes, great, Kimberly.

And don't worry, many students
at Essex have student jobs.

Who else has one?

Anyone?

I guess perhaps it is
just you here.

Cool.

Look, Frude,
I'm sure you're good at this,

but sharing our fears isn't--
- I'm scared because I'm gay.

I was in the closet
all through high school,

and I don't want to do
that again,

so I promised myself
I would tell everyone

the minute I got here.
Guys, I'm gay.

- Oh.
- Okay.

Oh, I'm gay too.
I've been out since I was .

It wasn't easy in Oklahoma,
but I had to be me.

all: Aw!

This is great.

We are learning so much
about our new gay friends!

[gentle acoustic guitar]

So, why did you all
pick Essex?

Oh,
I'm here for the "Catullan."

The college comedy magazine.

It's a big deal
in the comedy world.

A ton of writers on "SNL" got
their start on the "Catullan."

Cool! I came
'cause it's prestigious.

I'm gonna graduate summa,
and then I'm gonna go

to a tier one law school,

and then Max and I are gonna
move to DC

where we're gonna become
a power couple

like Kamala and Doug.

Are any of you
in relationships?

Oh, [scoffs] no, thank you.

I didn't come to college
to be tethered to some dude

I dated in high school.

Also, I never really dated
anyone in high school,

but I'm here,
I'm super sex-positive--

in theory more than
in experience.

And I am ready
to smash some Ds.

Max and I are waiting.
Not for any weird reason.

He's just not ready.
- He's not ready?

Oh, boys are born ready,
so something's up.

Yeah, is he, like, waiting
but also, like,

Oh, no,
it's nothing like that.

Yeah! We'll do it together.

Oh, memes, that's good too.

Wow,

You have a good personality.
- Oh, thank you.

Can I tell you something,
between us?

I have some issues
with the other work-study kids

that I manage.
[sighs]

They just have got
a lot of attitude.

Oh, well, I really need
this job to pay for school,

so the only kind of attitude

very clever.

Okay, everybody, huddle up.

Before we open, I'd like
you to meet our new trainee.

This is Kimberly,
and she loves memes.

[laughs]

In addition to other hobbies
and interests, you know?

Which I can't think of
right now, but I have them.

- Canaan.
- Lila.

Cool. I'm really excited
to be working

at Sips with you guys.

I--I'm sure we'll have
a "latte" fun.

[laughs]

I just want to say, you are
a wonderful little lady.

- Okay.
- Oh, is that the menu?

It is.

You know what could be
so cute is if we did

little chalk drawings
that changed every day.

Like, today,
we could do leaves.

Because it's September.

[gasps] I love it, yes.

Lila,
you're always doodling.

I want you to come in
a few minutes early

and decorate the board.

Why me?
She suggested it.

Well, you're artsy, you know,
so just have fun with it

and draw some g*dd*mn leaves.

[upbeat music]

So what did you say
your last name was again?


Murray, as in Murray library.
The library next door.

I slipped and fell there
last winter.

Broke my tailbone.
- I'm very sorry to hear that.

But can we please focus
on my problem?

It's extremely distressing
to be separated

from one's best friends.

Okay,
looks like you submitted

a personal habits survey

with Esme Schaffer
and Francesca Bromley

and got a % match-up
with both of them.

Exactly, but then there was
some glitch in the system,

or something, and they got
assigned with some random girl

with weird clothes,
bless her heart.

Well, in addition
to the survey, they also wrote

specific directions in
who they wanted in a roommate.

[nervous chuckle]
Specific how, let me see.

"Do not room us
with Leighton Murray"?

Why? Why the hell would
they write that?

I know.
You seem like such a joy.

Welcome to the "Catullan"
Perspective Writer's meeting.

We're the co-editors.
I'm Ryan, this is Eric.

We want to start
by saying thank you.

It's really great to see such
a big turnout.

That being said,
know this going in.

"The Catullan" is the most
selective extra-curricular

on campus.
- What about a cappella?

Hey, f*ck a cappella!

Look, sure, what Eric's
saying is technically correct.

But I think we're getting
ahead of things here.

Writing
for a comedy magazine is fun,

and we look forward to reading
your writing samples.

pieces, words,
no puns, I'm serious.

But rather than me telling
you why you should submit,

let's see what some of
our recent alums have to say.

I'm Oliver Roni, I wrote
for "The Catullan" last year,


and now
I'm a writer's assistant


on a new animated show about
a suburban white family.


Holy sh*t!

- $ if I make this?

Straight to you, cash now.

- Okay, ready?
- Go ahead.

- Oh, okay.

I'll give it to you,
I'll give it to you.

- Hey, Canaan.
- Hey.

- Do you like Jay-Z?
- Yeah, I--I guess.

Yeah, I mean,
I think his music is so dope.

And some would say
he's more than a musician.

He's like a prophet too.
- Okay.

Look, I just have to say,

I come from a small town
in Arizona,

and it's really exciting
for me to have a Black friend.

- Oh.
- Or, is it African American?

I don't know, 'cause there are
two schools of thought on that.

What--what do you think?
- Black is--is fine.

- Okay.
- Yes.

So, Black. Cool.

And what--what's it like
being Black at Essex?

Um, you know...

it's hard. Yeah.

You know, not a lot
of people here get me.

And how could they?

I mean, we've led such
different lives.

You know, I've never touched
cashmere before.

I don't really tell
a lot of people this, but...

my mom is addicted to cr*ck.

You know, that's my story.

And now I have to work
three on-campus jobs

just so I can send money
back to her and my baby sister.

And I just have to hope
she doesn't spend it on cr*ck.

Oh, my God,
that is just so much

for you to be dealing with.
- Yeah, yeah, but...

you know what?

It is nothing compared
to what Lila has been through.

I mean, that poor girl
has it so much worse than me.

What's Lila's story?

[chalk drops]
- g*dd*mn it.

What the actual f*ck, okay?

Do you guys have any idea
how humiliating it is

to be friend-dumped
in front of a clerical worker?

Believe me, Leight, we didn't
want it to be this way.

Well, we did want it
to be this way,

but it hurts to see you
so upset.

I don't understand.
I thought we were friends.

Uh,
what's with this f*cking pause?

Were we not friends?

I mean, we hung out, obviously,

but the truth is, we never
really felt like we knew you.

Yeah, you were always
so secretive or something.

It was like being friends
with a stranger.

What are you guys
talking about?

I literally
tell you everything.

I don't think that's true.

It's like there's this wall
with you.

No, there's...

God, okay, whatever!
Whatever, I don't care.

I'm--I'm sorry that I'm not
like an over-sharer

like every other girl
in our f*cking generation.

I just think
that you could open up more.

Okay, okay,
is this open enough for you?

- Hey, Lila.
- Hey.

I just want to say
I'm so inspired by you.

This morning
when my alarm clock went off,

I thought to myself, k*ll me!

But then I was like,
shut up, Kimberly.

If Lila can go through
what she's going through

and come to work,
you can get out of bed.

What exactly
am I going through?

I mean, you know,
it can't be easy with a baby.

And the baby's dad
being incarcerated.

'Cause prison isn't
just for the prisoner.

In a way, it's prison
for the whole family.

The f*ck are you
talking about?

I don't have a kid

and definitely not one
that's in jail.

Oh, but Canaan said--

And he knew
you'd believe it too

because you're some hick

Wow, Canaan,
you're such an assh*le.

Okay, to be fair,
it was pretty funny.

So it was all bullshit?

I bet your mom's not even
addicted to cr*ck.

No,
she's a paralegal in Maryland.

Are you mad
that my mom's not a crackhead?

I'm a freshman.

I was at "The Catullan"
Orientation the other day.

Sorry, there's literally
hundreds of people there.

I'm still reeling
from the emails.

So, I--I know you said
that we should drop off

our submission packets,

but I was wondering
if I could film mine

so you could hear it
in my voice?

Uh--

Or I could read it
to you right now.

Oh, no,
I really wouldn't like that.

Look, it's great
that you're excited,

but don't be too bummed if you
don't make the staff this year.

What?
Why would you say that?

It's just,
with all the freshman

and all the upperclassmen
that are reapplying,

uh, I don't know if there are
gonna be

that many female spots.
- Female spot--?

You haven't even read
all the submissions yet.

It's just a really
competitive year, you know.

A bunch of siblings of
staff members are submitting,

and we already have
two women on staff, so...

- Of, like, people.
- Look, I hate it too.

I would give anything

for Elizabeth Warren
to be president,

but... keep your chin up.

You know, if you love comedy,

there's like five other
improv troupes on campus.

Oh, and that one group,
the Pot Stickers, is all Asian.

So...

So, these are for you all.

Come on, open them.

apologizing

called you tacky,

Podunk, new-money jock.

Shawn Mendes, people tell me

Well,
I wanted to surprise you,

"The Catullan" is throwing one

I ran into the editor
this morning,

there's no reason to submit

any female spots this year.
