-No, I-- nothing. It's...

-What? What?

It was a game. Okay?

We were 14.

You look different.

Good-- good different.

Thank you.

-Yeah.

Um, hey, you are

in law school now,

Um, my brother graduated

from Columbia last year, so.

-Really?

-Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

He was super miserable,

as I'm sure

you're familiar with--

-Yeah, sure.

-Yes.

But, um, he has

a really great job now.

-Ah, is he less miserable?

-No. [laughs]

-More, in fact.

-Yikes.

But so rich.

So here we go.

-I guess that's how that goes.

-Hey!

-I was about to roll a joint.

-Please. [chuckles]

-Hey, man.

-Yeah. Hey.

[indistinct chatter]

[Cal] You roll

the best little joints.

[Jacob]

I rolled this one earlier,

but I didn't get a chance

to finish it.

[Cal] That's the prettiest joint

I've ever seen.

-It's really nice, isn't it?

-[Cal] Yeah.

Um...

so Emily.

Yeah, she's great.

[Cal]

She seems great. Yeah.

-[Dan] So, Cal.

-Uh, yeah.

What are you doing

these days?

Well, I graduated,

um, in May.

And I'm, uh,

doing the acting thing, so.

-Acting?

-Yes.

-Awesome.

-Yeah.

Uh, do you have anything

coming up that-- like a TV show?

Um, I-- yeah,

I'm surprised

I am a-- a star suddenly.

Um, no.

Um, I, um, I'm just--

I'm focusing on my craft.

[Dan] Awesome.

Are you happy

your brother's home?

Yeah, both him and his ego.

Anybody want a hit?

Yes.

-Out the window?

-I mean, it's ideal,

but don't need to worry

about it too much.

Oh, isn't it pretty cool?

It's a nice view too.

-I really like it here.

-I'm glad.

I'm glad to be back.

-I'm glad you're back.

-Yeah.

-Okay.

-[man] You don't have to.

-[Jacob] No, it's all good.

[man] Okay.

S-- yeah.

Oh, there you go.

[Kit] So I saw

my ex was selling

his bed on Facebook

the other day,

and I had, like,

a complete panic att*ck.

Emily heard me

from across the hall

and came running in

thinking that someone had d*ed.

-It was crazy.

-That's awful.

-Yeah.

-It is so awful.

I'm so sorry

that you're going through that.

It's been pretty traumatic,

but this bed was, like, a symbol

of our relationship, you know?

-Yeah.

-[Kit] So.

I mean, it seems

like a lot of--

I feel like--

I just feel like beds are like--

I mean,

I feel like beds are symbols

of, like,

my past relationships.

Like, for different reasons.

[laughs]

-This is Cal.

-I'm Cal.

I'm-- uh, I'm Jacob's

best friend from home.

I'm Kit. I live here.

Amazing. It's beautiful.

[Kit] Thank you.

Thanks so much. Thank you.

-[Bobby] So beautiful. [laughs]

-Thank you.

Yeah, so do you know--

um, you know Emily

and that's how you know Jacob,

are you friends with Emily?

Well, we all went

to college together.

-So.

-[Cal] Cool.

[Kit] When I was looking

for a place to live,

Emily put me in touch

with Jacob

and the rest is history,

you know?

-Yeah.

-Gotta tap out.

-Oh, you're leaving?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Why?

Mikey.

-You'll be good.

-I'll be fine.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Okay, you have something

in your tooth.

Yeah. Yeah.

Go. Just right in.

You gotta really go.

I'm just f*cking with you.

I love you.

I will see you.

-I'm gonna walk him out. Okay?

-Yeah. Okay.

[Cal] What's wrong with you?

[door clicks open]

[Emily] Hi.

Uh, I-- I was

just walking Bobby out.

-Cool.

-He just left.

-Cool.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-It's nice out.

-Mm-hmm.

The apartment

is, like, so cute.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Yeah. I really like it.

And it's like-- it's much

more convenient for him.

-It's really close.

-Well, Long Island

isn't that far out,

he was like, what,

45 minutes away, right?

Yeah, but I mean,

this is like-- it's 15--

this is 15 minutes

to Midtown,

which is, I mean,

it's, like, two stops or one

depending on

where you're going on the seven.

-So for auditions and stuff.

-Yeah, definitely.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, it's better.

It's a good thing you got,

um, him and Kit connected.

-That's awesome.

-Yeah.

Yeah.

It seems like a good match.

It is. Yeah.

It's a funny story actually.

We, like, all met

doing college acapella together.

-Oh, my God.

-Just deeply--

I love Jay's group.

I saw them a few times.

And when they came to

Long Island, we had this, like--

well, he had them all over

sleeping at his house.

And, um, I've slept there too,

and it was a crazy night.

-It was fun.

-Those boys are wild.

-They're good boys.

-They're good boys.

-Yeah. They're rowdy.

-But they're loud.

-[laughs] Yeah.

-They're rowdy.

They are.

Truly, some of my

most stressful period--

like, the most

stressful period in my life.

Mm.

Collegiate a cappella.

-That's it for me.

-Yeah.

Aside from a few very

unfortunate pregnancy scares.

Well, you know

what they say about periods

-and I don't know.

-What?

The most stressful period's

the one you don't get.

Oh, this is--

yeah, that's true.

Yeah.

I didn't-- I'm sorry.

Do you smoke?

Do you want a cigarette?

Yeah. Yeah.

I have

my weird ear cigarette,

which you are

welcome to decline.

-Sounds delicious.

-They're menthols also.

Thank you so much

for offer offering.

That sounds...

Pretty girls never light

their own cigarettes.

That's what they say.

-[laughs]

-Yeah, it was about trees.

Um, I'm gonna head out.

[Kit] Oh, okay.

Great to see you.

-It was nice to meet you.

-[Kit] Yeah. Yeah.

-Okay. Um, bye.

-[all] Bye.

[Jacob] You headed out?

Um, yeah. Yeah.

I've been here

for, like, four hours, so.

-Totally.

-Yeah.

Well, we should--

we should catch up sometime.

I mean, not, like,

at one of these parties.

Um, Jay, this--

-Are you going?

-[Cal] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-I'm heading out.

-All right.

-Well, I'll catch you soon.

-[Cal] Definitely. Yeah.

-Yeah. Yeah. We'll talk.

Yeah, it was

nice meeting you too.

Thanks for coming.

-Get home safe.

-Yep. Yep. Yep.

-[Emily] Bye, Cal.

-[Cal] Bye. Have fun.

[door slams shut]

He's the most wonderful guy

That sounds bad.

[playing on piano]

He's the most wonderful guy

Guy

[playing on piano]

[siren wailing in the distance]

[exhales]

[phone line ringing]

[Jacob's voice mail]

Uh, hey, you've reached Jacob.

I'm not here right now

but if you leave a message,

I'll get back to you

as soon as I can.

Thanks. Bye.

Oh, my God, he's so hot.

He looks

just like Bonny Bear

or-- or any of the baristas

at Joe's Coffee.

What does Bonny Bear

look like though?

I don't think

anyone really knows.

It's just the general essence

of Bonny--

-Precisely, the aura.

-The aura.

-The aura. [laughs]

-Stop that.

Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!

That's Rachel Kleinberg.

Rachel. Rachel. Hi.

-Oh, my God! Bobby!

-[Bobby] Hi.

Hi, baby. How are you?

I'm doing so great.

How are you?

-I'm good.

-[Cal] Hi.

-Hey.

-[Cal] How are you?

[Rachel] I'm good.

It's so good to see you guys.

-How's postgrad life?

-Oh, it's amazing. I'm acting.

-Oh, my God. In what?

-Yeah. Yeah.

Anything

I can get my hands on.

[laughs] That sounds familiar.

-[laughs]

-Oh, what are you doing?

I'm actually in a workshop

for the new Gossip girl musical.

Oh, my God,

that's amazing.

How-- how--

how did you get that?

[Rachel] Um,

they put out a casting call

for athletically

inclined belters,

and I was like, "XOXO, me."

-Right?

-What! [laughs]

We don't wanna

keep you from your day.

-You seem really busy.

-[Rachel] Oh, no.

It was not a bother at all.

I'm so happy I bumped into you.

-It's great to see you.

-[Rachel smooching] Be well.

-Have a great summer.

-[Cal] Yes.

-Really good to see you.

-[Cal] Good to see you.

-[Rachel] Bye.

-[both] Bye.

-Don't be jealous of her.

-I am-- I'm not jealous.

-[cellphone chimes]

-Athletically inclined belter.

-XOXO, me.

-Me.

-[laughs]

-Oh.

[Emily] But, like,

you've never walked in

on your parents

having sex, right?

-'Cause that-- I haven't but--

-[Jacob groans]

-Excuse me. Would you like to...

-Jay?

-...share with the class?

-What's this now?

I've walked in on my parents

having sex thrice.

-Three times?

-Thrice.

-Three times.

-Literally.

No longer an accident

at that point.

No, it's not an accident.

Like, fool me once.

-Fool me--

-Fool me once--

His parents

have the healthiest sex life.

Okay, okay, let's change

the subject, please.

-I've almost walked in on them.

-Oh, my God. Jesus.

I will literally

never forget it.

It was after Passover

four years ago.

To be fair, we were drinking

a lot of Manischewitz.

Yeah.

Too much Manischewitz.

[Emily] Um, babe,

Kit wants to know

if we're going back

with her tonight or no.

-What should I say?

-Yeah, I have to.

I have to, uh, be at Schedler

tomorrow at 10:00 for callbacks.

-[Emily] Okay.

-What are you called back for?

Great Comet Tour.

-That's amazing!

-Wow.

They're doing a non-eq tour

before an equity tour?

-[Jacob] It's equity.

-That's amazing!

-Oh, you'll get it. 100%.

-Right?

-You know, we'll see. It's--

-Perfect.

-Just a call back.

-[Cal] No.

Yeah, babe.

You're gonna k*ll it.

Thank you so much

for helping out.

Oh, my God.

Of course. Thank you.

It's just the usual routine.

-Uh, dinner, wash up, books.

-Yes.

A little massage

if she needs one.

-Incredible.

-Bedtime.

-Yes.

-Okay?

Um, don't forget

to turn on the sound machine

and the nightlight.

And there's a $20 bill

on the counter

if you wanna

get yourself something.

-Thanks so much.

-Okay.

Love you.

You be a good girl.

I like my house.

I like it too.

Do you know my apartment

only has one room in it?

What?

Alice is a good girl

A good girl, a good girl

Yes, Alice is a good girl,

the best girl I know

'Cause she is so sweet,

and she is so kind

And she is so caring

to everyone she meets

[Alice] Cal!

[Cal] What's wrong?

The light?

[calm music playing]

[whispering] Okay. Good night.

Close your eyes. Okay.

-[phone ringing]

-Hello.

Hi.

Oh, um, not much.

I'm-- I'm-- I'm, uh,

working on acting stuff.

I'm working a-- a monologue.

This is objectively

the nicest,

like, kids' apartment

that I've seen.

Thank you.

I'm-- I'm-- yeah,

I'm definitely very lucky.

Yeah.

[chuckles] It's amazing

that you could afford it

on a photographer's salary.

That's incredible.

[both laughing]

Um, I'm gonna get us beer.

Do you drink?

-Okay. I'll get us beers.

-[Cal] Yes.

[Cal groans, sighs]

Did the lights

come with the apartment?

They're very cool.

[Emily] Um, they actually--

the overheads, yeah,

the overheads did.

[Cal] They're really,

really nice.

Um, but the-- the other ones,

like, all the lamps

and everything, that's Jay.

-He designed it.

-Yeah. That makes sense.

-[Emily] Yeah, he's good at it.

-So good.

When we were little,

he had this,

like, star lamp thing

and we would turn it on

and lay on Adrian's bed

and, like,

just lay and look at--

[Emily] That's a star projector.

-Yes.

-[Emily] Yeah.

I literally have it

in my room right now.

Oh, my God.

That is amazing.

Yeah. It's the f*cking best.

I love it.

[Cal] I heard

he took it to college.

Yeah.

That's super cool.

[Emily]

I-- uh, I must tell you.

I watched the web series

you made in college.

-Oh, okay.

-And...

and, uh, it's really good.

I watched a few episodes.

It's very funny.

-Thank you.

-[Emily] Yeah.

-Thanks. It's heady.

-[Emily] Yeah.

-Yeah.

-[Emily] Very weird. Very funny.

Um, my sister and I have an idea

for a web series

that we've been, like,

kicking around for a while.

-I've never done anything.

-What's your idea?

Um, so my sister has autism

and the idea was sort of,

like, a day in the life

with a bunch of different people

who are on the spectrum

and-- and sort of

following them around

and seeing what it is.

Yeah.

That's a really good idea.

Thanks. It was hers, not mine.

I can't take credit.

My brother

is actually

also on the spectrum.

-Yeah?

-[Cal] Yeah. Yeah.

-Yep, yep, yep. He's a genius.

-Yeah.

He's also,

like, weirdly formal.

-[Emily] Really?

-Yes.

[Emily] How so?

Like, at a family dinner,

if I haven't seen him

for a while, I'll, like--

Oh, sh*t.

Um, this is Jay.

-Do you mind if I take it?

-[Cal] No. By all means.

-Tell him I say hi.

-I will.

-Hello, baby.

-[Cal] Hi.

[Emily]

That's-- yep. That's Cal.

Yeah.

We're having a good time.

No, we're just chilling.

We're at my house.

Yeah.

Are you out already?

Well, okay.

Yeah. I-- f*ck.

I also, I got the, um,

confirmation email for Friday.

Is that still okay?

Babe, I told you.

No, it's fine.

No, it's-- I'm serious.

It's fine. It's fine.

Um, I have to go.

I'll talk to you later.

Yeah, I don't-- okay.

Perfect.

Okay.

I love you. Bye.

-[Emily groans]

-How is he?

He's good.

He's just, like,

a very busy person right now.

-So just scheduling.

-[Cal] Yeah.

-What are you scheduling?

-Just life. [chuckles]

-[Cal] Fair.

-Nothing in particular.

[Cal] Cool.

[Emily] Um...

what are you doing

Friday night?

Um...

I'm not sure yet.

-Why?

-You should model for me.

Oh.

Yes, I always look, like,

very strange in photos.

Like, my eyes

are just, like, really wide.

-I don't believe you.

-[Cal] I swear.

-You're an actor.

-Yes.

You can be

in front of a camera.

[phone ringing]

[sighs]

[phone ringing]

Hi. What's up?

Um, nothing much.

I am getting ready.

I'm taking pictures

with Em tonight.

Okay.

You need to chill.

One, they're not

new head sh*ts.

And two, if they were,

it'd be fine

because I look very different

than I looked six months ago.

[doorbell rings]

Um, okay.

I gotta call you back later.

Okay?

Uh, I'll talk to you soon.

I love you. Bye.

[box thudding]

Hello.

-[laughs] Oh, my God.

-[Cal] Hi. [laughs]

You look incredible.

I'm fully not wearing

pants right now.

I can see that.

You look f*cking incredible.

Let's go.

Let's do this.

[groans] Okay.

-[lighter clicking]

-Okay.

Can you--

did you get it?

It's not really going.

Let me get it.

You gotta learn

how to do this yourself.

I can be

an independent woman.

Yeah.

Stealing my lighter back. Okay.

I'm gonna do stills,

okay?

Yeah. Okay.

-What do I-- how do you--

-[Emily] Let me see.

How do you want me?

[Emily] Ah, just do

what you're doing.

Just have a little--

there we go.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hold on. Hold on.

If you just go, like,

a little bit back again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Perfect.

[Cal] Okay.

[camera shutter clicks]

[Emily] Yeah.

-You look amazing.

-Thank you.

[Cal] Everyone's mattress

is on the street.

[Emily] Everyone's like,

"f*ck this mattress.

I had no sex this summer."

-[Cal] It's cursed.

-[Emily] It's cursed.

-How does--

-[Emily] Yes, yes.

-Yes.

-[Emily] Do this--

What do you--

you're not even taking a photo.

I am.

-Like, what do you-- should I--

-[Emily] Yeah.

[gasps] You just

caught me off guard.

That's the point.

Go and then come back.

-Okay.

-Go and then come back.

[Cal] Okay.

I'm gonna strut in.

-[Emily] Yes. Strut in.

-Strut. Strut. Strut.

Yes.

-Yes.

-Okay.

Where-- where are you going?

["Fear" by Siv Disa playing]

I'm a little bit in love

With everyone

I've ever touched

Come a little bit undone

then disconnect

Before it comes to much

Never want to reach a goal

I just want to be in motion

Every path that could be,

that might be

Is until you settle on one

And is that fear

Or the knowledge

that the truth would break me?



Em!

And which is fear

The illusion or the pain

I think I can count on--

I think I can count on,

um, one hand,

maybe two hands

how many times I've smoked

a cigarette in my life.

How many of those

are with me?

-Too many.

-Too many.

More than half,

you think?

-Um--

-f*ck!

-I need to stop giving you--

-No.

-I like your cigarettes.

-Hmm.

My gross menthols.

I'm a bad influence.

-You're a fine influence.

-Stay away.

-Yeah.

-You're a good influence even.

-[scoffs] We'll see.

-Yes. Time will tell.

-Yeah. I'm trying to quit.

-Oh, you are?

-I'm trying to quit.

-You're doing a great job.

I'm trying to reduce.

I'm trying to red--

-Right, right, right.

-I'm trying to reduce.

I-- I-- I have since college.

I used to be, like, full on,

like, pack a day girl.

-But I'm not anymore.

-A pack a day?

Yeah, of menthols

with f*cking fiberglass in them.

I cannot see you

as a smoker.

What's this?

I mean, I can't see you

as a serious smoker.

I was. I was.

Like, every f*cking

stupid 22 year old.

I was like,

you know, I tried--

I started smoking

to try to impress a girl.

Didn't impress her.

Just started

getting lung cancer.

You dated girls before Jay?

Mm-hmm.

Well, like,

not, like, dated dated.

But many-- uh, many a crush

and many a smooch.

-You know.

-Yeah.

I-- um,

I like, um, half dated

a few girls in college.

None that I would

have called my girlfriend

'cause it--

it wasn't quite perfect.

Like, everything

wasn't quite right,

but, um...

-Yeah.

-Mm-hmm.

It was a good--

good time.

A good time. Yeah.

I think for me it was,

like, more of a timing issue

because... I don't know,

I didn't really,

like, embrace my queerness

or really, like,

uh, dive into it

until my senior year--

dive right in there--

until my senior year

of college though.

So I was like--

it was a short-lived moment

'cause second semester

I started,

like, casually hook up

with Jacob.

-Oh, okay.

-So.

-Yeah, well.

-He-- uh, then he trapped me.

-There you go.

-Right.

Well, RIP the lesbian

you might have been.

The missed opportunities.

I-- truly, I would've been

an amazing lesbian.

Why do you say that?

I-- because

I'm an amazing listener.

You are a good listener.

That's fair. That's fair.

-Women are a lot of work.

-We are a lot.

-Yeah.

-A lot of work.

Well, you know,

there's still time.

-[Cal] Well.

-Someday.

-[clears throat]

-Not if you're dating Jay.

I mean, the two aren't

necessarily mutually exclusive,

so.

What does that mean?

Well, like, I don't know.

I mean he-- last night

he was, like, talking

about maybe opening up

the relationship.

So we wanna do...

How do you feel about that?

Um... [sighs]

[Cal]

How do you feel about that?

I don't-- I don't know.

I don't know.

-Hmm?

-I'm okay.

-I love your camera.

-Yeah? It's my mom's.

Yeah.

It's really-- it's cool.

Can I--

uh, can I see it?

Can I take

a picture of you?

-I wanna take a picture of you.

-Why?

You took so many of me.

I feel like it's only--

Yes, 'cause I live

back here and-- fine.

-Oh. You give up so easily.

-Fine.

-I-- you deserve it.

-You just gave on--

You gave in real fast.

[Emily] You were making

a good argument.

I've been making you stand in

the street all day in a-- in a--

Like a street walker.

Beautiful outfit.

I'm wearing nothing.

-Okay.

-Where should I go? Here?

Yeah, right there.

The light

is pretty on your face.

Is it on?

-Because I put the green...

-Yeah.

...but it's not-- turn on.

-Um, hold on. Can I see?

-Yeah.

Yep. It d*ed.

[laughs] It-- it's dead.

Your opportunity

must wait till tomorrow.

She'll have more energy

in the morning.

[piano music playing]

There's someone

in the picture

Every now and then

It is really inconsistent,

but I figure...

Uh-- oh.

Sorry. Oh, I'm so sorry.

I forgot my lyric.

Do you mind-- um, can I

start over really quickly?

Sure.

Go-- whatever you need.

Thanks so much. Thank you.

I really appreciate it.

Thank you. Okay.

There's someone

in the picture

Every now and then

It is really inconsistent,

but I figure

Hey, that's men

I'm sure that this is normal



I should not be freaking out



Confusion is half

of what love is about

[guitar music playing]

I over analyzed

Believed your sloppy lies,

I need

To say g*dd*mn I tried,

I left my logic

Let you fool me

I was so gulli, gulli, gulli,

gulli, gulli, gulli

Gullible

Oh, so gulli, gulli, gulli

Gulli, gulli, gullible

[laughs]

Oh, that was so fun.

-[Cal] That was amazing.

-Thank you.

Can we go right now?

I have to be here

for, like...

one more hour.

Just one more hour.

I have to make rent.

-[Cal groans]

-It-- one hour, Cal.

I'm like...

Okay, okay,

okay, okay, okay, okay.

Just put this down.

[Cal] I don't know.

I just, like, need a burger.

Okay, let me just--

thank you, everyone,

so much for coming.

This was so sweet.

I really appreciate it.

Tip-- tip your waiters.

Tip the bartenders.

They're working

tirelessly for you.

And I will be here tomorrow.

Thank you.

[sighs] They love me.

[both] Encore.

[Cal]

They're gonna have to wait.

They will.

'Cause I'm here for you, baby.

Thank you, mister.

-What's going on?

-[Cal] Nothing.

-There's-- [laughs]

-Mi get-- [hums]

Mi get drunky with Em Em.

Um, and now

me have no prospects,

so that's where I'm at.

Why were you

drinking with Em?

[Cal] Well, okay,

actually it was super cool.

We had-- um, Em had this idea

for, like, a video photo project

and I got super dressed up

and it was,

like, Andy Warhol inspired

and it was just a really

f*cking fun and cool night.

Did you miss

your audition this morning?

[Cal] No, I didn't miss it.

I went. I went, I went.

I just, like,

wasn't feeling my A game.

So I didn't-- wasn't perf.

'Cause you drank last night.

[Cal] But it was, like, for art,

you know what I mean?

Are-- are you,

like, modeling now?

Do you think I can?

[Bobby] That's not what

I'm trying to say, Cal.

-I'm trying to get--

-No, I know.

I-- okay.

Let me, like, break it down.

It's-- it was, like, for art,

you know what I mean?

Like, it was an art project

that I got to be a part of

and, like-- I just...

You just what?

You're sacrificing

one thing for the other.

[Cal] Why are you concerned?

No, I'm not.

No, I'm not

sacrificing anything.

-It's, like, all related.

-[Bobby] But you are.

-No, I'm not. Not at all.

-[Bobby] Yes, you are.

You're just botched

your audition

because you were out

drinking with Em.

It wasn't that bad.

It's just-- I don't think

you understand, I feel like--

[Bobby] I'm not getting it.

Explain it to me.

It's pretty important to align

yourself with successful people.

Like, how else...

do you know--

I don't understand why--

[Bobby] Oh, now I get it.

No, that was clear.

That was crystal clear.

That-- like, that fell right in.

-Yeah.

-Bobby.

No, you're right.

If you gotta-- you got--

you should go hang out

with Em more, I guess.

I don't know, I'm sorry

I'm not a photographer.

[Cal] Oh, my God.

You're being so dramatic.

-I'm not being dramatic.

-You are!

It's just--

it's really frustrating

that you're coming to me

and you're complaining about

not having your sh*t together

and you're not working

on your sh*t.

I am working on my sh*t.

How are you working

on your sh*t?

Every single f*cking day

I'm working on it.

I need to go get a burger,

like, very desperately

because I f*cking

don't feel well.

Which I told you and I feel like

you weren't listening to me.

-[Bobby] Oh, my God!

-And so I'm gonna go--

I literally stopped playing--

stopped making my money

-Thank you.

-[Bobby] for you.

-I'm making time for you, Cal.

-Thank you.

I appreciate that.

Can we go f*cking eat?

[Bobby] Why are you

just brushing me off?

-I'm not! Oh, my Go--

-[phone chimes]

Oh, my f*cking God.

Bobby. Bobby.

I'm gonna be

in a f*cking gallery in Soho.

Wow.

-That is amazing.

-Yeah.

You can't say

that isn't amazing.

["Kelly" by Erika Levy playing]

I turn my cheek and I hope

you wanna [indistinct]

[indistinct chatter]

-[Cal] Hey.

-Oh, hi.

-[Cal] Cal.

-Kit.

[Cal] I know.

How are you?

I'm good.

How are you doing?

Good. Good.

This is amazing.

I know.

Have you gotten a chance

to look around yet or--

Uh, not so much.

I've been hanging out

by the door,

waiting to see

if anyone I like walks in, so.

[chuckles] Fair.

The woman of the hour.

-[Emily laughs]

-[Kit] Hi.

[Emily] Thank you for coming.

-[Kit] Damn, girl.

-[Emily] Right?

-Dude, it's you.

-[laughs] It's amazing.

[Kit] These look incredible.

Really.

-Congrats.

-[Emily] Thank you.

[Kit] Yeah.

[Emily] Look at this.

She said she couldn't model.

I think

she's just so good at her job.

[Emily] No, no.

Um, I think

I'm gonna get another one.

Can I--

do you want anything?

[Emily] I-- any--

any and all alcohol.

I've been too anxious

to-- to drink, so please.

[Kit] Got it.

A boat of champagne coming up.

[Emily laughs]

Yes. Thank you.

[Kit] Uh,

can I top you off?

-Yeah, that would be amazing.

-[Kit] Great.

Thank you very much.

That's so sweet.

-[Kit] Yeah.

-[Cal] Thanks.

You, uh--

how do you feel?

Pretty good.

-This is amazing.

-I'm glad you like it.

-Yeah, I love it.

-[Emily] Oh, good, good, good.

-That's important.

-[chuckles] Yeah?

-Wow.

-[Emily] Yeah.

You're a great muse.

Everyone loves this one.

Kelly, Kelly,

you know you wanna keep me

[Kit] There was one year

a bunch of friends and I

went to Cabo

for spring break.

-Oh!

-And it was basically,

just me and seven girls

-sobbing the entire time.

-Why?

Well,

just for various reasons.

Like, the first night,

I ended up eating something,

and, like,

was vomiting my guts out

for the entire night.

My roommate thought

someone had d*ed.

-[laughs] And, um, so then--

-[Jacob] What did you eat?

[Kit] Tacos, I guess.

-[Bobby] Cal, hi!

-Hi, baby. Hi.

-[Bobby] This is amazing.

-Oh, I know.

You came!

Oh, my gosh.

-[laughs] I ran, but I came.

-Thank you.

-You're a sweaty boy.

-I'm a sweaty boy, babes.

Honey, do you have

a shirt with you?

Yeah, but it's hot,

I was busking all day,

-and you know--

-I know. I know.

And then, I ran here,

and the trains were late,

but I'm here,

and I'm here with you.

-Yes, do you want--

-I thought you'd be happy.

[chuckles] Baby, do you wanna

put your shirt on?

'Cause the AC

is blaring in here.

I could, yeah,

you don't have to fan me.

[laughs] I could.

Where's the bathroom?

[Cal] Right there,

um, do you want me

-to, um, carry your--

-[Bobby] No, it's fine.

I'm good.

-[door shuts closed]

-[Emily] You're an insane--

[Kit] Anyway, she ended up

breaking up with her boyfriend.

-[Jacob] Really?

-That was-- that was very good.

[Cal] She did?

In a good--

like, a good way?

-I missed a lot--

-Yes, you did.

-Okay, you guys.

-She definitely needed to do it.

There's an amazing bar around--

like, around the corner-ish.

-I'm gonna call us a Lyft.

-Great.

Do you want--

do you wanna go?

Yeah,

I could use a drink.

I'm gonna call the--

he's a minute away!

Okay, I'm gonna go

stand in the street.

-Let's go.

-Thank you, baby.

Let's go, Kit.

Do you wanna come out?

-I'll meet you outside.

-[Kit] I'm gonna flag him down.

-You coming?

-Yes.

Um, I'll meet you

out there, okay?

Alrighty.

I'll see you out there.

See you out there.

Hi.

Babe?

[Bobby] Give--

give me a second, Cal.

-Jesus, I--

-[Cal] Okay.

-But I really have to go.

-[Bobby] You literally

just told me to change,

and I'm changing.

No, I know,

but I really have to go.

[Bobby] Cal,

I'll be out in like, a minute.

-I know. I'll f*cking leave.

-[Bobby] I'll be right there.

I'll text you, okay?

I love you.

-I gotta go. I gotta go.

-[Bobby] Cal?

[Emily] Hey, off we go.

The jumpsuit was ruined?

-Oh, I mean--

-No, you washed that.

-You washed that.

-I have seen her

-wear it multiple times.

-[Kit laughing]

Every time I pee myself,

I just immediately

wash my pants.

You do that,

like, really fast.

Yeah, no,

she still wears it.

-Oh, God.

-It's a jumpsuit.

I mean,

I wouldn't throw it out.

-Yeah, right?

-Wash it.

-Trauma. Yeah. [laughs]

-I'd wash it, but--

-Oh, my God.

-I assumed she did.

[Adrian]

Can I get you another one?

-Please. That'd be great.

-Okay.

["Prey" by M the Myth playing]

Draw some monsters

into death

Um, you guys,

I'm gonna get us sh*ts.

Tequila.

-I love that.

-Great, lady.

-Great.

-Yes.

Celebrate.

'Cause I can [indistinct]

Give me your lies

[phone chimes]

I'm trying [indistinct]

-Thank you.

[Adrian] Of course.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

Rip me to shreds,

I'll take my revenge

Got tricks up my sleeve

[Emily] Jacob,

I know you're not doing

another sh*t,

but I got you another whiskey.

-[Cal] Wow. That's incredible.

-[Emily] I know. I know, but...

we gotta get

to "piss my pants" level.

I didn't know

we were doing sh*ts.

Oh, my God!

-You just gotta drink.

-Here is to Emily.

Who gives a sh*t.

Who gives a sh*t.

To Emily

on her big day.

To you, guys.

Thank you for being here.

-To Emily.

-I love you, guys.

Cheers, cheers, cheers.

Know you need me,

know you got it

Ooh. I don't--

Know you want me,

know you need me

Know you got it bad

Know you want me,

know you need me

Know you got it bad

Give me your lies,

I'm not afraid

[indistinct lyrics]

One kiss

And you'll be my prey

Rip me to shreds,

I'll take my revenge

Got tricks up my sleeve,

so I say

One kiss

And you'll be my prey

I don't know

where my drink went, but...

[overlapping conversation]

[Jacob] I should have left--

I should have left

-about an hour ago, I--

-[Emily] Okay. Go.

Oh, yeah.

Don't-- please don't do this.

Don't do this right here.

-Please.

-But like, you're not gonna--

Yeah, that happens

all the time.

[Emily] I need you to--

can you just stay

for, like, 15 minutes?

-We'll all go.

-[chuckling] Yikes.

Yeah.

They argue a lot.

[Cal laughs]

[Cal laughs] Yeah.

[Kit] But anyway, so...

This girl's ferret

was so f*cking big.

I'm gonna head out.

Um, okay.

Yeah, I just have an

early morning, so, I gotta go.

-But, uh, I'll see you tomorrow?

-[Kit] Yeah.

-I'll see you at home.

-Cool.

-You okay?

-Yeah. No, I'm fine.

I just have to

be up for the callback

-in the morning.

-Let's hang this week, okay?

-[Jacob] Yeah, let's do it.

-Okay.

-[Jacob] All right, bye, girls.

-Love you.

[Jacob] You too.

I won't be

looking back for you

-[Cal] Hi.

-Hi.

[Cal] Are we getting drunky?

-[Cal] Um, four sh*ts, please.

-[Emily laughs]

Here we go.

-Four.

-Four.

You think I won't go,

just want you to know

That you f*cked it up

this time

This is overdue,

yeah, it's nothing new

'Cause I don't,

I don't need you

[Cal] I would, um...

I would go to,

like, the tea shop,

and get

three samples of tea.

-I remember so distinctly.

-[Emily] Yep.

[Cal] Three samples of tea,

drink it and be like,

-"I'm full."

-[Emily] "I'm so full."

[Cal]

"I don't need-- I'm good."

[Emily]

Yeah, I mean, that's--

[Cal] So f*cked up.

[Emily] And we convince

ourselves of that.

-[Cal] Oh, totally.

-[Emily] Like it's f*cking--

[Cal] Totally.

[Emily] I still--

I mean obviously, it's a--

it's a lifelong--

-it's a lifelong thing.

-[Cal] Yeah.

-[Emily] But--

-[Cal] It's bullshit.

-[Emily] Mm-hmm.

-You like, finish a meal now,

-and it's like--

-You're like, "Ah."

-Yeah.

-'Cause they tell you

you're not supposed

to eat everything

-on your plate or whatever.

-Which is bullshit.

Like, if you're hungry,

just f*cking eat.

Right.

-[phone chimes]

-It's crazy.

-It is crazy.

-And to like, not be able to,

-like, trust your hunger, right?

-Right. Right.

Freaking insane.

Um, hmm.

Are you going

to this party on Saturday?

-Adrian's party?

-The one on Long Island, yeah.

Yeah.

Woman, what?

I don't know.

I don't know.

All right. Okay.

-Okay.

-I don't know.

-I was thinking of going.

-[phone buzzing]

Who is bothering me? Oh!

-Hello.

-Jay?

Hi. No, I'm with Cal.

Yeah.

Well, how long

will you be, 'cause--

Yeah,

if we ordered Indian,

do you think you could

pick it up and bring it over?

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Right. I love you. Bye.

-Yes?

-He...

well, we are going to

order Indian food,

and he's going to

pick it up...

-Amazing.

-...for us.

-Is he coming over?

-Yeah.

All right.

In college,

I took this class

on, um, modern art

and, um, like,

monochromatic art.

-Oh, sh*t.

-And how, like, texture

informs the piece, right?

-It's very cool.

-So like, it's not just,

like, a red painting.

-The texture of this painting.

-Right, it is the texture of--

And how it reflects

against the room.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-And I-- before that,

I was like,

"This is not art."

Yeah, like,

it's creating environment,

which I feel like is--

but I keep-- I keep going

to these things

where it's, like,

it's a-- a hat,

but like, here's the opinion

-about it that makes it art.

-Right.

-And I don't know that I--

-This is not a pipe.

Right, but that,

I-- I understand.

-I love that.

-It's-- I love that.

-That's just like--

-Um.

Guys, if I'm being honest,

I kinda thought

that you might have got

something for me.

Well, you were just

at your parents.

-You ate lunch with them.

-Okay, it's dinner now.

I'm just-- you know,

I had like, a long commute and--

Baby, you can have--

here, have this.

-We have so much.

-Okay.

-Share-- share with me.

-Yeah. Share.

I'm putting

so much of this.

-[laughs] It's so good.

-I mean--

We're two. [laughs]

We're two people.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's for two.

Yeah, it's--

I'm eating all of this.

I'm just gonna

grab this spoon.

Oh, I just licked it.

[laughing] That's fine,

I think

we're okay with that, right?

-Oh, my God.

-Yeah. I guess so.

Um, how are your parents,

by the way?

-They, um--

-Haven't seen them in a minute.

-They're all right.

-Just all right?

Yeah, you know,

I think we're just, like,

getting to the point

where we just, like, realize

that our parents,

like, have these flaws.

Yeah,

but we're all flawed.

Yeah, but they're just, like,

not doing anything to change it.

Like they-- they're--

they have these flaws,

and they're very aware of them,

but they just--

No, I get it.

I get it, but like...

should they?

Do you know what I mean?

Like, should they?

But do you think

that we should, like,

just, like,

settle for mediocrity?

No, I-- but I also,

don't think having flaws

-makes someone mediocre.

-That's not what I'm saying.

-I'm just saying that--

-But you're implying it

in a sense, right?

No, I'm just saying,

like, we should always be

striving to improve ourselves,

and, um--

I feel like

that would be exhausting.

Hi, Dad.

Uh, good,

I'm, uh, just,

uh, home

applying backstage stuff.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and then,

I'm-- um, I'm gonna go

to a friend's in a bit.

Yes.

Okay, and I know--

I know I have to call her.

I told you I would.

I literally said I would.

And I told you

I was gonna call her and I am.

Oh, my God.

And I will. All right?

I have to go.

Oh, f*cking God.

I'm walking the wrong direction.

-Do you want more?

-Mm-hmm.

-Thank you.

-Sure.

That's probably good.

[laughs] It's a nice

big glass of wine.

[Adrian] Heavy pour.

That's, like,

right up my alley.

[Adrian] Great.

-[Cal] Mmm.

-[Adrian clears throat]

[Cal chuckles]

-What?

-Nothing.

You are...

-very impressive.

-[Adrian laughs]

-I was being sincere.

-Thanks. [laughing]

[Cal] You're welcome.

I don't know,

especially, like...

you've accomplished

so much.

And, like, oh, God, especially,

in regards to, like--

like, obviously,

I know you and Jay had

very different

family upbringings.

And you've both

accomplished, like...

so much, it's--

it's super impressive.

Mmm.

Yeah, I love Jacob.

He's a sensitive little boy.

[chuckles]

[keyboard clattering]

[laptop chimes]

[chuckles]

[calling tone ringing]

[Bobby's voice mail]

This is Bobby Cortez.

-Leave it here.

-[beep]

[Emily] The longest

I ever drove,

I actually didn't pee

for 13 and a half hours.

-[Cal] What?

-Oh, my God,

I just ran a stop sign.

[laughs] I got excited.

But I didn't pee

the whole time.

I was so proud

of myself.

[Cal] Why did we decide to get

40 bottles of Margarita Mix?

I don't know.

That's how much we needed.

I mean, fair.

Hello?

Ooh, can you

-get this for me please, Cal?

-[Cal] Yes.

[Emily] Thank you.

-Hit that doorbell.

-[doorbell rings]

[pop music playing from inside]

-[Emily] Hi.

-Hello.

Hi, so happy

you guys made it.

How are you?

Thank you for having us.

[Adrian]

Of course, come on in.

Your brother texted me

requesting the entire

-Frito-Lay aisle, so we got it.

-[Adrian] Wow.

We went on a spree.

We did just go food shopping,

but this is great.

-You good?

-Yep.

Here, here.

Let me take that.

Oh, thank you.

Is-- is he--

-Yeah, uh, right in the kitchen.

-Okay, cool.

-Hey.

-Hi.

Happy you made it.

Here. Let me get the door.

Oh, such chivalry.

Here, tag team.

-Nice.

-Bam.

[Jacob] What's he like

in class?

Like, what does he--

does he talk or...

I don't know,

he's like--

[Jacob] Is he, like,

talking to other students,

-or like, just like--

-[Rachel] No, he's just...

Hi, babe, hi.

-...sarcastic and like--

-[Jacob] Oh, that--

that-- that tracks,

actually.

I'm-- I'm Emily.

I'm Jacob's girlfriend.

-[Rachel] Nice to meet you.

-[Emily] Hey, nice to meet you.

-Ah.

-Show me.

-Four wing Three.

-Ooh.

-What does that mean?

-Okay. Don't look.

-Special?

-Don't look. Don't look.

-Am I special?

-An individualist.

-Okay. I like that.

-"Uh, they want

to express themselves

and their individuality

to create

and surround themselves

with beauty." [laughs]

Why are you saying it

like that?

Really funny

'cause it's really cheesy.

-It checks, though.

-Yeah, it does?

-Yeah, I like beauty.

-Okay, that fits.

It's kind of

a boring job, but--

-What are the perks?

-[Rachel] Well, like--

[man] The firm just

hooked me up with this, like,

-really sick apartment.

-Are you kidding?

-Yeah.

-[Jacob] Really?

-[Emily] Where?

-It's in LIC.

-[Jacob] That's where I am.

-It's pretty nice, right?

Yeah, that's,

like, a hidden gem.

-Like, not for long, yeah?

-Well...

Like, you just got

that amazing tour.

-Right? Like, that's amazing.

-[Dan] Dude!

-Hey.

-I almost accidentally

cockblocked your brother.

Cool, um, that's--

that's great, Dan, uh--

"We need to take care

of our emotional needs..."

-Emily!

-"...before attending

to anything else."

Oh, interesting.

[Jacob] Come on.

[Adrian]

"...to create an identity."

-[Jacob] Emily!

-Um...

I gotta go

to the bathroom really quick.

-Okay.

-Okay.

-I'll be back in a second.

-All right.

[Jacob]

Emily, can we talk?

[Emily] Can you just

give me a minute?

-Jacob.

-[Jacob] Hey, can you please

just come out

of the bathroom?

[Emily] I'm not coming out

right now.

Can you just f*cking give me

a minute, please?

Thank you.

[pop music playing distantly]

[Jacob] Okay.

[muffled conversation]

Emily?

[knocking on door]

[Cal] Hi.

[Jacob] Hey.

I thought-- I thought

you gave that to Em.

Uh, no, no, I just, uh--

I just got her her own.

Oh.

Oh, my God, I haven't been

in this room... [laughs]

...in ages.

[Jacob sighs] Yeah.

-It's been a while.

-Oh, my God. [laughs]

Oh. Hello.

[Jacob chuckles]

-Oh, our little hands.

-[Jacob] Mm-hmm.

What does BFFR mean?

-Did we mean "BFFL"?

-Really?

What?

You--

"best friends for real"?

Come on.

That was our thing.

-Sorry.

-[Jacob] I forgive you.

-Thank you.

-[Jacob] Mm-hmm.

Um, hmm.

[sighs]

We were very, um...

-weird.

-[Jacob] Totally weird.

-Yes. Cute.

-[Jacob] Very cute.

-Adorable, in fact.

-[Jacob] Mostly weird.

[Cal] More--

more cute than weird.

That was cute.

We were usually weird.

[laughs] I think

the ratio can be, uh...

I don't know.

I...

can't remember--

[sighs] I can't remember

the last time

that we were alone.

-That's weird.

-[Jacob] Hmm.

-Yeah. That is weird.

-Hmm.

[Jacob] Kinda makes me sad.

Same.

[grunts] How is Emily?

She is-- she is--

she's--

she's going to be fine, yeah.

-That was very convincing.

-[Jacob] She's--

-she's gonna be fine.

-Beautiful performance.

They pay to act?

Do you know,

surprisingly, they do.

-Weird.

-Very odd.

How are you, my love?

I am, uh...

-I'm good.

-Oh.

[Jacob]

I'm real good. Yeah.

-[Jacob laughs]

-Crushing it.

Let's talk

about something else. Please.

All right.

I wanna talk about--

hey, babe.

I wanna talk

about anything with you.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, so you, uh,

you can take the lead.

-That's...

-Don't f*ck my brother.

-...really hot.

-[both laughing]

You think so?

I can't even see you.

I don't wanna look at that.

[laughing]

Why do you own these?

-Where did they come from?

-You know...

you know,

I got really into Hellboy,

and these reminded me.

You know, I think

I remember that phase.

Yeah. It was a fun phase.

I kinda miss those days.

Let me see.

I'm curious.

Ooh, it's gonna be your next

Halloween costume, I think.

Are you into it?

I kind of see you.

-You look really close to me.

-Yeah, do I?

-Well, maybe 'cause I am. Yeah.

-Yes, 'cause you are.

[Cal chuckles]

Um. [laughs]

[Jacob sighs]

[laughs] You're dumb.

[Jacob scoffs]

What do you wanna

talk about?

Hmm...

-How about...

-How about?

Please,

don't f*ck my brother.

[laughs] Oh, okay.

We're back on that.

-Yeah.

-Okay. Hmm.

I'll, um, see your brother,

and raise you a girlfriend.

-Would that be better?

-Oh, no!

-Is that more preferable?

-No, that's so much worse.

-Less? It's worse? Oh, man.

-Actually, yeah. No, it--

-Not ideal?

-Not-- definitely not ideal.

-Both situations.

-Okay, cool.

What would be...

-ideal?

-[both chuckling]

You know, I feel like

I keep disappointing people.

I don't think

you're disappointing people.

No, I am, it's fine.

I think that people have

really big expectations for you.

-Well-- no, I just-- I--

-And--

It's-- I just

should've told Emily sooner.

We could have avoided

this entire f*cking thing.

What are you

talking about?

What did you-- what didn't you--

what did you do?

[laughs] What did you do?

I got the tour.

-Yeah.

-Wow.

Mm-hmm.

-Oh, my God.

-[Jacob laughs]

Oh, my God!

-I know. I'm excited!

-That is so huge, dude!

It's gonna be--

it's gonna be good.

Oh, my God.

That amazing.

It's gonna be a good year.

It's gonna be

a f*cking a-- amazing year.

-Yeah.

-That's so good.

This is so good. Wow.

Thanks, Cal.

Everything else

will figure itself out.

-Yeah.

-And the people that love you

will be here

when you get back.

-Okay.

-Which you'll come back.

I will.

I will come back.

-He always does.

-[both chuckling]

-Um--

-I miss you.

Well...

-I miss you a lot.

-I miss you too.

I miss you.

I'm...

um...

so, here's the thing.

[laughs]

I miss you, like...

All the time.

Yeah, like,

every single day.

-And I wanna talk to you...

-All the time.

Yeah, literally,

all the time.

I just-- I don't know.

I-- I wish...

I, um, haven't made

eye contact with you

in this long,

it's, like, a bit jarring.

-I--

-Why?

I don't know,

I just haven't, like...

we haven't, like, looked

into each other's eyes

in a moon.

Yeah, it's been kinda...

it's been kinda hard to.

[chuckles]

Fair.

I--

-Um...

-[Jacob] Um...

Um, I, uh--

-Wait. [chuckles]

-[Jacob] I-- I-- I--

Yeah.

-[Jacob] I-- I should--

-Hold on. Wait, wait, wait.

-Jay, hold on.

-[Jacob] I should see

-what's going on with Emily.

-Wait, Jay!

-Can you, please, wait.

-[Jacob] She's in the bathroom.

Yeah, I understand.

Can you just wait one second?

[Jacob] I gotta check on her.

[sniffling]

-[Cal sobbing]

-Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Come here.

Come here. Come here.

[Cal sniffling]

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

[laughs] Yeah.

Ew. [coughs]

-[both sniffling]

-Oh, f*ck.

[Emily sighs]

-[both chuckle]

-You look great.

[Emily sighs]

[sniffles]

[moaning]

[both moaning]

-I love you.

-I love you, too.

I'm in love with you.

I love you so much.

[Emily] I-- I have to go.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

["Beat07" by Siv Disa playing]

-You're back.

-[both laugh]

You wanna keep, uh--

I can keep reading the thing.

I know you did leave

mid-sentence last time,

and I was worried that

I f*cked something up, but...

-No, it's all good.

-...we can keep reading

-if you want.

-No, let's go get a drink.

And then,

you can tell me more about me.

Okay.

-[Cal hums]

-Oh!

Why do we do this

to ourselves? [laughs]

[Cal] [indistinct] so good.

-What?

-[Cal] I'm just gonna--

I don't know.

I'm not here right--

[calling tone ringing]

[Emily's voicemail] Hi,

this is Emily Elizabeth Walker.

I'm not here to answer

the phone right now--

[Dad] Could you please take your

dirty feet off the dashboard?

[Cal] My feet aren't dirty.

-[Dad] Your shoes are dirty.

-They're not dirty. They're new.

-How could you afford new shoes?

-Because I work?

-I work two jobs.

-Okay. I'm glad.

Excuse me?

All I said is,

"Okay. I'm glad."

I hope

you have two jobs.

I want you to work hard.

[Cal] I am working hard.

How do you have time to hang out

with your friends all the time?

Do you want me

to not have friends?

You want me

to just go to work,

and come home, and, like...

be a robot and,

like, what, go to a--

what do you want from me?

-Don't put words in my mouth.

-I'm not putting words

in your mouth,

that's what you said.

How do I have time to hang out

with my friends?

I want you

to work hard and succeed.

I am working hard.

Dad, I literally just graduated.

I-- I know. I was there.

Do you know

how hard it is?

Yeah, I really do

-understand how hard it is.

-Do not patronize me, please.

You just sound

like you're patronizing me.

-I'm not patronizing.

-You are, Dad!

You have no idea.

-No, I really do understand.

-No, Dad.

But you don't, because you have

this f*cking-- [groans]

Dad, you have this,

like, 9 to 5 job.

And you have this family

and your house,

and you get to, like,

go to work and come home,

and eat Panera Bread,

and watch

Dancing with the Stars.

And like,

I'm working all the time.

I work literally

all the time.

-I'm exhausted.

-You think I don't work hard?

Who do you think

pays for everything?

Dad,

it's not about you!

-Okay, honey.

-Can you not?

Honey, just relax.

I'm f*cking-- Dad.

I'm sad.

-[car beeps]

-Thank you.

Call me

if you need anything.

-I love you.

so when you're ready,

I'm going to ask everyone

to stand up from their chairs.

You are going to

pick a partner,

and go to sit somewhere

in the room facing your partner.

Do you wanna--

Um, yeah, sure.

[woman] Just look

at the person in front of you.

Just look at them.

This person doesn't expect

anything from you.

Just look.

Just notice.

No judgements.

Take them in.
