[girls shouting]

[volleyball thumping]

[whistle blows] JILL:
Okay, break, girls.

Really good work. Nice hustle.

I love to see that.
Drink plenty of water.

Uh, AA meeting's
in the cafeteria.

- Oh, no, no, no.
- Coach, it's me, Beth.

Beth Jones.

[chuckling] Oh, my God, Beth?

It's so good to see you.

[softly] The AA meeting's
are in the cafeteria.

Yeah, no, I'm not here for that.

I barely even drink anymore.

- Well, that's great.
- Hey, girls, this is Beth Jones.

She was an outside hitter
and one of the best

defensive players we ever
had here, effort-wise.

Yeah, and also just
in general, but...

How are you doing?

So great.

- Great.
- Really never better.

- Great.
- Yeah.

How's your mom?

Dead. She d*ed.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

So sorry.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I remember she was... she was
such a big part of your life.

Yeah, huge. Listen, so, Coach,

I have an exciting... No,
a thrilling idea for you.

- Okay.
- Okay.

So there was a time in
my life where volleyball

was just my greatest passion.

Well, that's nice to hear.

Yeah. And it's really
a lot thanks to you.

So basically,

all roads have kind of
converged in... in the wood,

and I took the path
that led to volleyball.

Uh, great.

You know, um, they
have an over 40 league

on Tuesday nights.
Maybe you could...

Okay, but no, I don't think
that I was meant to play.

I believe

that I was meant to coach.

Hm.

That's why I wanna coach
right here with you.

I'll assistant coach for free

for about four to
six weeks, you know.

Probably closer to four,
just 'cause it's free,

and, you know,
everybody needs money

and then I'll take
over as head coach.

- You know, Beth...
- [clears throat]

I really appreciate your
enthusiasm for the program,

but I have to say,

I... I don't think you're
being very realistic.

I know what's going on.

You don't think I have
what it takes anymore.

Well, let me tell you that I do.

Girls, line up! [Whistle blows]

All right, let's just get
you out of the way here.

All right. Hitting. Here we go.

Who's up? Let's go.

Show me what you got.

My eyes are open, I'm
seeing who's got what?

All right. Even better, defense.

Okay. Get down. Here we go.

- [screams]
- Oh, God, I'm sorry!

Oh, God. Listen...

- She's okay, right?
- She seems like a tough cookie.

- Listen.
- Yeah. Talk to me.

This team already has a coach.

Right, right.

- And that's me.
- Yeah.

And I'm not going anywhere
for a very long time.

All right, you want me
to break it to the girls?

- No.
- No. Right.

All right, well, I
think I'm gonna split.

Okay. They're coming.

I have to continue setting up.

Just sell them produce.

Hi, welcome to the
farmer's market.

Um, this is our farm stand.

Uh, I am Beth. I'll
be your server.

- Take it easy.
- Okay. Sorry. I'm nervous.

How much is your Swiss chard?

- Swiss chard.
- Oh, I love that question.

Yeah. Great question.

And great scarf.
Uh, Swiss chard.

Now, what is that?
Is that a cheese?

- It's, uh...
- Oh, yeah.

It's... here it is.
It's, um, it's $10.

Chard. Just because... well, no.

It's just... It's the
lush red stemmage,

which makes it more Swiss.

- Even more Swiss.
- That's actually true.

The darker stems give them
a nice beet-like flavor.

- Beet-like.
- Beet-like.

- Who doesn't like beets?
- What kind of a sick person?

- All right. Sold.
- Okay. Okay, great.

Um, so just take
like a bunch of them.

- Grab them, yeah.
- Oh, okay. Oh, okay.

And then you go like this.
That's how you do it.

[chuckles] Okay.
Did you need a bag?

- No.
- We recycle.

Oh, my God. Heroes, saints.

Okay. Thank you. [Laughs]

Thank you. See you next week.

Yes, we'll be here.

Thank you.

Enjoy the market.

[laughs] That was awesome.

We just ripped that woman off.

- Nice.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Do you guys have any leeks?

- I don't even have my period.
- Jesus, Beth.

Yeah, we have leeks
right here actually.

- Yeah. We're just having fun.

- Just the one?

- Namaste.
- Bhagwan.

Thank you. What's Bhagwan?

Oh, my God. Wild Wild Country.

You never saw that show?

It's about a cult.
This guy, like,

totally, you know,
like most cult leaders,

winds up just kind
of f*cking everyone.

You need a TV.

So I can watch
people join a cult?

Yes.

Oh, I mean, there's so
much more than that.

What's it called?

You can get inside the mind
of a serial k*ller, you know.

[grunts, laughs]

Or there's this doc

that you have to see where
all these nuns get r*ped.

- Well, I'm sold.
- [chuckles]

Yeah.

Why are we in this
shitty corner?

The woman who assigns the
spots doesn't like me.

How could she not like you?

My pigs escape onto
her land a lot.

- That was gonna be my guess.
- Uh...

You know what? Just
gimme a minute.

- All right.
- I think I'm good, John.

Hey, can we put
the reds in front?

We swap the, like...
I want to push the...

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

- That's a lot of blood.
- I'm good, it's gonna stop.

But I wanna switch. I
wanna push the reds.

So if we could maybe
move the reds up front...

- Okay, we will, we will.
- It's still coming out, I think.

- It's just slowing down.
- It was gushing at first.

- Let's pack it up.
- We're moving.

What?

- That looks better.
- Moving what?

- Oh, we're moving stands.
- The marmalade people sold out.

f*cking marmalade.

When we reset, reds up front?

Sure, Gerald. Yeah.

He's bleeding a lot.

How'd you do that?

Oh, I just told the
organizer that I had IBS,

so I needed to be
near the toilet.

- You lied?
- Well, yeah, I don't have IBS.

Yeah. So let's go.

Well, this is kind of our spot.

People know to find us here.

They'll find us up front,

'cause we'll be the first
stand that they see, okay?

Okay. Okay.

- Will you? Okay.
- 'Cause it is a little heavy.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

These red bamboo.

This is where we're talking.

Don't leave the f*cking money
just sitting here, guys.

I'm sorry. I'm
sorry, young lady.

- Absolutely.

- Two is fine.
- Two?

- For just the one.
- Okay. Two.

Okay. Thank you.

See you, Chris. Thanks.

- I love selling this stuff.
- Like, so much more than wine.

Yeah.

Maybe because this stuff
actually nourishes people.

Don't talk sh*t about wine.

- No, wine's great.
- It's good too.

You just have to be
okay with the fact

you're slowly poisoning
people to death.

BETH: Okay. Hey, Bob.

- Anybody see Elena?
- She took off with my flask.

- That's how it starts.
- I'll help you find her, Bob.

You good?

I was born good.

I'm going to take a leek.

- You take a leek, Bob.
- Come on, Bob.

She's probably in
the men's room.

I found her there last
week. JEN: [laughs]

I told you she was
here. I'm dying.

BETH: Oh, shut up. What
are you doing here?

Oh, you think we
were gonna miss this?

Why are you here? Okay. Move.

There's real customers
coming over here.

Say something farmery.

Hi, John. He's cute.

- Your hair's very curly.
- Do you have a perm?

- JEN: I don't.
- John.

JEN: Do people
get perms anymore?

- I don't know.
- Are you gonna buy anything?

How about just, like,
nice to meet you?

Like, these are my
good friends, you know?

Nice to meet you. JEN: Hi.

I'm gonna go get some more
cabbage from the truck.

Okay. Would you grab
some more fennel?

Yeah. JESS: Fennel, I'm dead!

Stop. Stop.

- Get John back over here.
- I wanna learn how to hoe.

- You are a hoe.
- Eat my ass.

Can you please?

This is like a
respectable market.

Okay? I'm sorry he was rude.

I don't know what that
was about the perm.

- JEN: I don't care.
- It was a little off, but...

I think I might really like him.

Oh, it's so adult.

Adult film. Gingham shirt.

- You guys are such assholes.
- Where's Maya?

I can't believe she's
missing this humiliation.

Oh, well, she's busy making
all the arrangements.

For what?

Oh, uh, you... you didn't hear?

What are you talking about?

Grandpa Don passed
away this week.

JESS: Sorry. JEN: I
thought you knew that.

No, I... I had a missed
call from her, but, um...

How long will the funeral
take, do you think?

Like an hour, I think.

I don't know. They
don't call it a funeral.

It's called a Homegoing Service.

- Like the person's going home.
- I like that.

Yeah. That's what Maya said.

I don't know why she didn't
want Jen and Jess there.

They're texting me.

Jess humped a table at
the farmer's market.

Maybe she's afraid she would
do something like that there.

I think I thought you were
gonna kind of dress up

a little more.

You know, I don't like
what the weather is doing.

Do you mind if we go check
on the boat really quick?

- No, we're late already.
- Yeah. We gotta go.

- Okay.
- It's just a funeral.

I think I thought you'd wear
like a suit or something.

I don't have a suit.

Maybe you should get one.

Do you believe in God?

[scoffs]

- Not really.
- Yeah.

But like,

you know, if I'm in like,
turbulence on a plane

or someone I know is sick,

I pray, you know, to God.

Do you believe in God?

Hm, no, not really. No.

I don't really ever pray,

but I kind of think
nature is God,

or something.
