(SIGHS)

Hey, Madison.

'Sup?

What are you doing right now?

Um, uh, studying.

I'm stuck in my house.

The doors are... deadlocked.

Do you have a crowbar
or something?

- (WHOOSHING ON VIDEO GAME)
- Yes!

Yes. Sorry.

I've just always wanted
a reason to use a crowbar.

Such a g-tool.

But yes, definitely,
I will come right away,

I'll just put my shoes on
and I'm off.

Cool.

(TAPS GLASS)

You didn't tell me
you guys were evicted.

(STAMMERS) What's going on?

Just pry the window open.

OK.

Just... just go harder.

Mm-hm.

Get in there.

This is, uh, starting
to feel like, uh, jail.

Nobody's calling the cops
around here.

Easy for you to say. You're
not the one with the crowbar.

(CHUCKLES)

- Oh! Ay-oh.
- Oh!

(VINCE LAUGHS)

(VINCE GRUNTS) Whoa.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- MADISON: Oh.
- (WINDOW DROPS, GLASS TINKLES)

Hey, also, do you have
a spare mattress?

(MADISON SNORES)

(VINCE SCOFFS AND SIGHS)

(MADISON MOANS)

(MADISON SNORES)

- (MADISON LAUGHS) You were.
- I don't stare at you.

- I could barely sleep because of you.
- No, you could.

- You snore.
- (MADISON LAUGHS)

- Actually, I'll catch you later, yeah?
- MADISON: OK, see you.

Hey, Reema.

Something's going down
with Madison.

She's been evicted.
She tell you?

She mentioned it,

but I didn't realise
something actually happened.

Who's she staying with?

Well, she slept at my house
last night.

On a mattress. FYI, she snores.
It's prehistoric.

I thought your mum had
a 'no girls' sleepover policy.

Mum was on the late,
so I snuck her in.

I couldn't just leave her
out on the street.

She has other mates, but OK.

Nothing happened.

It's OK, even if it did.

Hey, I'm running late, so...

(BOTH LAUGH)

- What about Meghan Markle?
- No, I don't...

I don't really have
an opinion about her.

I'm talking about her hair.

You would look so cute
with it straightened.

She doesn't look like
a genuinely happy person.

She's fakin' it!

(EXCLAIMS) We all fake it.

Dale! Try a new hairstyle.
Be a new Rosa!

I don't want to be a new Rosa!

I want to be me!

But with the part that feels
like sh*t cut out.

The sh*t part isn't you,
it's Matias.

So you think I should leave him?

Say it.

How good does this feel, huh?

Endorphins, vitamin D, oxygen -

you'll feel great in no time,
darling.

I feel fine.

You're the one
that wants the revenge body.

Why would I want a revenge body?

I don't want to know
the answer to that.

Well, if you must know, I've got
a work reunion coming up

and I've been asked to give
the retirement speech

to my old boss
and I don't even work there.

Which proves that
once you go Dom

you can never get enough Dom.

Didn't they fire you?

Well, it was a mutual decision
and I needed to spread my wings,

hence my Brover app.

All right, so this has nothing
to do with Birdie?

Why would you say that?

Because I've literally never
seen you exercise before.

Well, I've never seen you
exercise before.

OK, Dad, you're sounding
a little bit delusional.

Well, you're sounding
delusional too.

Well, Bowie told me
that Birdie ghosted you.

Well, Bowie can get stuffed.
I'm already over it.

Yeah, sounds like
you're already over it.

Dad...

Dad.

Dad, you don't have to walk
so fast.

Dad, stop!

DOM: You stop!

(DOM GROANS)

- Are you OK?
- 'Course.

Did you pull a hammy?

As if.

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING
AND MUSICAL FANFARE)

Oh, damn. Close.

Oh, hi, poppet.
Want to borrow the car keys?

Uh, no, I'm sleeping at
my friend's house.

- OK.
- Got your heart pills.

- They got legs.
- Yeah.

So, um, when do you think

they'll let us back
in the apartment?

(SIGHS) I think that ship
has sailed, sweetie.

Oh.

Yeah, cool.

No worries.

We'll find another place.

Something will pop up.

- Mm.
- You'll see.

When was the last time you ate?

DAD: Oh...

I'm getting you a burger.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait.

It's on Nellie.

Get something for yourself.
Keep the change.

Are you sure?

Plenty more
where that came from.

MADISON: OK.

Time to go, Vince.

I was looking for the bathroom.

- No, you weren't.
- Yeah, you're right.

I have superhuman
bladder control.

- Let's go.
- But is your dad OK?

Yep.

But does he know
about the eviction?

Der! Of course he knows.

Is he gonna help? Maybe stop
flushing money down the toilet?

As opposed to flushing
your freakishly big head?

(ROSA LAUGHS)

My God, he's so hot!

(BOTH LAUGH)

(ROSA IMITATES DOLPHIN CHATTER)

(BOTH LAUGH)

So you should go over
and say hi!

No, I'm married.

- Two margaritas for the ladies.
- ROSA: Yes, thank you.

- Can I get you anything else?
- No, bye.

You get a free pass.

- Use it!
- Mmm.

(SIGHS) Yeah.

Now go ride a f*cking dolphin!

(BOTH LAUGH)

- (LATIN MUSIC PLAYS)
- (WOMEN SPEAK INAUDIBLY)

- Hi.
- Hi, Rosa, how are you?

Tipsy. (GIGGLES)

We lost count of our margaritas.

- You know how that goes.
- I do, actually.

It's so great to see you.

We should get a drink sometime.

Yes.

No, but, yes, but I'm so busy,
you know?

Oh, come on. Just one drink.

How's tomorrow night?

My friends and I are coming back
here to see this amazing DJ.

You should join us.

- Yes... No, I'm... I'm busy.
- She's free.

(ROSA LAUGHS AWKWARDLY)

Sounds like
you've got nothing on.

Oh! (LAUGHS) Stop it.

You're making it sound like
I'll be going naked.

- No!
- (BOTH LAUGH)

(FOREST SOUNDS PLAY ON GAME)

Whoa.

Wow.

- Oh! Come on, Vince!
- What are you doing?

- Whoa! Ah, yep.
- (THWACK!)

- Back me up!
- Um, sure.

What? Who uses nuts
as weapons against squirrels?

Who comes to the forest

to fight against squirrels
in the first place?

- Vince!
- What? It's their forest.

- Ugh!
- Oh, we're the bad guys!

I see.

Grenade.

- (WILD CHITTERING)
- Oh! Arggh! Oh!

- (VIDEO GAME WHINES)
- GAME: You lose.

- All right.
- (VINCE SIGHS)

Let's give it another go.
I want you on point this time.

I'm kinda tired.

And ethically conflicted.

- Can we stop?
- And do what?

I don't know, chat and stuff?

(TV BLEEPS)

Does... your dad know
where you slept last night?

Because maybe if you told him
it'll help him realise...

Oh, my God, I'm 16.
I can sleep wherever I want.

In fact, I can do anything
I want.

Sure.

What do you want to do, though?

About your situation?

You mean besides taking
a ton of drugs

and maybe joining a cult?

Can you set up my bed?

(ALARM BEEPS REPEATEDLY)

(SIGHS)

(ALARM CONTINUES BEEPING)

(SIGHS)

Uce! Doin'?

(LAUGHS) Uce.

- How's J?
- Yeah, she's good, bro.

- That's good.
- What's the rush, man?

Discount devil wings
are on Tuesday.

Good one. No. I'm on a mission.

Madison left my house
last night and she's missing.

- Madison?
- Yeah.

- Left your house?
- It's not like that.

- Trust me, it's not like that.
- Yes, it is. Are you two...

- No, no, no, no.
- Are you?

She slept at my house because
her dad's in a tough situation

and I'm just trying to
help her out.

Oh, right.

She OK?

I don't know. I think?

She hasn't answered
any of my calls, so...

I don't know.

Well, maybe you should just get one of
the girls to check in for you, bro.

See, I didn't think about that.
That's a good one.

(BOTH SNIFF)

Are you all good? (LAUGHS)

Whoa. It's J.

- Yeah. All good. All good.
- Obviously.

- I should...
- You should probably...

- BOTH: Yeah.
- Anyways...

- Back on the mission.
- Later, G.

- Oi, keep me in the loop, yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, I got you.

- (BELL RINGS)
- Good luck, uce.

- TALIA: Hey!
- ZAC: Hey, yo!

Have y'all seen Madison?

Ooh, why are you asking?

I haven't seen her, that's all.

- Oh! You said it!
- I told you! I said it!

- ZAC: You actually said it!
- What?

- What?
- It's Madison, OK?

She does her own thing.
Try not to worry, lover boy!

Ahhh!

- You guys might want to check your radar there.
- Oh, yeah. - Sure, dude, yeah.

- Sure.
- Serious.

- Have you seen her or not?
- Why are you so worried?

- Why aren't you worried?
- Wait, did you mess things up?

- What's that supposed to mean?
- He messed things up!

- You guys are useless.
- Dude, we're kidding!

We're kidding!

- He used to be chill.
- So chill.

It's ringing.

Hey, Mads.

Just checking in,
making sure you're all right.

OK, bye.

What did she say?

She said, "Suck my cl*t."

(LAUGHS)

She sounds high.

I'm gonna go look for her.

You seem pretty invested.

She has no-one right now.

So you're gonna go skip school
to look for her?

I didn't even know
you guys were that close.

(SCOFFS) I'm allowed
to worry about her.

(VINCE ZIPS BAG)

All I'm saying
is everyone needs help.

Some of us need help moving
the blocks in the drama room

so we can rehearse after school.

Or just, like, hang out,
whatever.

Thank you for your help, Reema.

No worries.

Oh, my God, what was that?

Did I come across as
pathetically jealous or what?

Mm-mm, nuh. You just sounded...
platonically content.

This makes no sense.

I friend-zoned him.
Why am I so jealous?

(OLY SIGHS)

This is so embarrassingly
primal.

Maybe you need to redefine the
relationship in a way that works

so that you don't feel jealous.

- Yeah, totally.
- Yeah?

You could...

You could come up with a list of
no-go areas of conversation.

Like, talking about romantic
potentials, for example -

no go.

You could email him and you
could agree on certain terms,

sort of like a...
like an informal contract.

That just sounds like
I'd be turning into

a possessive girlfriend
without any of the authority.

I guess it's sort of
a grey area.

- Oh, my God!
- (SIGHS)

What's that test,
the Bechdel test,

where girls keep talking
about boys?

We're totally failing.

Oh, yeah!

(REEMA SIGHS)

(TRAIN PASSES)

(LOUD INHALING)

Ah, Vince! (LAUGHS)

Oh!

- About time!
- You were expecting me?

I wasn't not expecting you.

Nang it up, buddy.

All right, all cool.

Vince, Vincey,
best guy in the world,

Such an amazing friend.

Is everything OK?

Yeah, why?

You kinda left without saying
anything last night.

Oh, yeah, meh.

- (CHUCKLES)
- 'Meh'?

I was actually kinda
worried about you.

(LAUGHS) Chill, dude,
you're overreacting.

I lied to my mum for you.

(LAUGHS) You're worried
about that. OK, mummy's boy.

That's the last time
I ever help you, OK?

You know what? I take back all that
"amazing friend" stuff I said.

Are you serious, Madison?

Do you even know
what a friend is?

'Cause a friend is someone
who has your back.

And you can't have someone's
back if you're hurting them.

From now on, everyone's
gonna start considering me

and my feelings, OK?

I'm not just some limitless
source of... of niceness

that people can come, use
and abuse and ditch whenever.

I have limits too.

Wow.

You sure had that loaded.

- You sure that was for me?
- There's no-one else here.

Who else would I be talking to?

All right, whatever.

Now, if you don't mind,

we gettin' high!

(INHALES DEEPLY)

You should all be at school
anyway.

Dude, look who's talking?!

(LAUGHTER)

And then I say, "I think
I speak for everyone",

"everyone, that is,
except for Shelly." (LAUGHS)

Everyone laughs uproariously,
etc, etc, etc, then I bow.

What do you think?

- Who's Shelly?
- Shelly's his ex-wife.

- She still works there.
- Are you sure about that joke?

Uh, what's wrong with it?

Just the bit about the son being
a flake. It's not too harsh?

Why is it harsh? He's a flake.

That's why it's funny.

Right.

So his wife has left him.

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

He's about to be unemployed.

(LAUGHS) Absolutely.

And his son is a flake.

And?

Doesn't that sound
a little bit familiar?

To who?

To you.

Oh, come on, darling, you've got
to be nicer to your brother.

Dad, I'm not talking
about my brother,

I'm talking about you!

You have zero self-awareness.

Well, here's some self-awareness
for you.

You're a slow exerciser,

and I'm finished
and I'm going home.

All right, well, here is some
self-awareness for you.

You're actually not going home.

I'm going home and you're going
to that weird apartment.

Whatever.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,
welcome.

It's so wonderful
to be here tonight

with so... many of you
to celebrate

Eric's multiple
corporate achievements

before we send him off

into the post-work afterlife.

Now, uh, some of you
might think of this

as a... retirement speech,

but I prefer to call this
a living person's eulogy.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

And then everyone cracks up
into uncontrollable laughter,

and I am t...

Oh, Christ, Dom.

(SIGHS)

What is wrong with you?

Salud!

(LATIN MUSIC PLAYS)

Sí.

I'm just taking it easy.

It's just a night out,
like any other.

Huh! Like any other.

It's not like any other, is it?

This was a mistake.

- Come on, let's go talk to him.
- No, no. Maybe we should go.

- Let's go.
- HECTOR: Rosa.

- It's so good to see you.
- (ROSA LAUGHS WEAKLY)

I didn't think
you would show up.

No, well, you know,
I'm full of surprises.

I'm Liz, hi. Hi, how do you do?

Liz is a friend.
Well, we were actually married.

But as it turns out,
she's not into men.

(WOMEN LAUGH)

But we still share
a Siamese cat.

- That's so nice. (LAUGHS)
- It is, actually.

I love Siamese cats.

Oh, really?

(LAUGHS)

(LATIN MUSIC PLAYS)

Hector!

Four years down the toilet.

(LAUGHS)

You're terrible! (LAUGHS)

Sí.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

Get up!

(ROSA EXCLAIMS) No!

Matias, Matias.

...the best time ever!

Sí!

Ha! Ah!

No!

Rosa!

GIRL: I haven't got it now,
but I'll pay you back later.

I swear to God, I swear to
God, I literally, like...

Don't feel too bad.

According to Talia,
it's her shortest AWOL yet.

VINCE: I've been thinking.

I feel kind of used up.

Don't. You did the right thing.

Hell, if I needed help breaking
out of my house,

I would have chosen you too.

I've been thinking about us,
actually.

OK, look, I'll admit, I was...

...a bit jealous of Madison.

I didn't want to be.
I mean, it's so stupid.

It's not stupid when we both
know we should be together.

I wish I could go there, but...

...you know I can't.

I know.

I love hanging out with you,
Reema.

You're such an amazing friend.

I think you're
an amazing friend too.

It just hurts.

Like, a lot.

And I can't do it anymore.

Are you saying we can't be
friends anymore?

Yeah.

So that's it?

We're just gonna have to
ignore each other

till high school finishes?

I just think
it's the right thing to do.

For the both of us.

Vince...
