KIRT:

You guys got booked!

HONEYBEAR: You threw

a skateboard through a window.

So would you rather have it be

that I did get arrested?

- Yes!

- Yes!

How much do I owe you?

You bailed me out.

Totally forgot.

I'm on this date right now,

with this girl, Ash.

I'm trying not to screw it up.

You're not screwing it up.

Where'd I leave my pens?

Your weed pens?

You got 48 hours. After that,

I can't protect you anymore.

I come bearing gifts.

Frankly, mushrooms

isn't gonna fix this.

Fine, it's like that then.

JANAY: Yo,

you need to watch your mouth!

Your boy needs to watch

his hands.

JANAY: I'll meet her,

wherever she wants,

I wanna hear her out.

YVETTE: I ended up

crashing at the party.

Donald had his hand in my pants.

JANAY: She's telling the truth.

How can you be sure?

He did the same thing to me.

- Can I help you?

You're welcome.

Perstephanie?

I didn't say anything

because we had just

started dating,

and I didn't want him to think

that I didn't like him

or that I wasn't down.

So, like

- Yeah.

I feel that.

- And

as much as I love the dude, I

I can't stop thinking

that I don't know.

If I had just known

more before, like

this wouldn't have happened

to Yvette.

- No, Janay.

You can't blame yourself

for that.

Look at me.

You can't blame yourself

for this.

It's not your fault.

- Maybe you could

say something to him now.

- Yeah, you're right.

I should talk to him.

- Yo, I have this crazy clip

of my homey

just eating sh*t on that spot.

- Doing what?

- Like, he he, like, landed.

He landed the ollie

and then did a powerslide

Bink just straight on his face.

- My G

- Hey!

- Hey.

- Yo!

How's it going?

Caught some clips, Honeybear?

- Yeah, I was just talking

to Janay about that.

- Where's Kirt?

- In a time-out.

- What is she, like, five?

- Basically.

Indigo.

- Thank you for bailing me out,

and I'll pay you back.

Okay.

- What's up, jailbirds?

- Bambi! What's good?

- You been good?

- Yeah, you know,

we had a time in there,

but whatever doesn't k*ll you

makes you stronger.

- Yo, my boy once offered

to suck a guard's d*ck

to use the bathroom solo.

- Come on, why you bringing

that up right now?

- What the f*ck?

- Yo, I'm serious.

- Yo, what's up with you

not posting Camille's bail?

- No.

- It's okay.

It's totally fine.

So sorry.

You should have offered

to suck the guard's d*ck

to get her out, right?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- Yo, that's OD.

- You ladies got jokes.

Okay.

Hey, we're going to Blue Park,

Camille.

You coming?

- Aw, come on, baby,

we're just playing.

- Yo, I know.

It's all right.

It's all good.

You coming with?

- Yeah, after I finish

my drink, I'll be there.

- All right.

- Catch y'all later.

All right, peace out, Camille.

- Anyways, um

- f*ck.

I think I have to go too.

- What?

We literally just got here.

What are you talking about?

Where are you going?

- I have a job.

- What job?

- The Tovah lady's modeling job.

- You took the job?

No.

- I didn't want to.

- No.

- But I have debt.

- My gosh.

What are you doing there?

Like,

what kind of modeling is it?

- I have no clue.

- Hey.

You guys going to The Dome

later?

- Nah.

Well, are you hungry?

I've been craving pierogis

all day.

- That was sick!

- Hey, my man, what's up?

- I'm not really

in a pierogi mood.

Okay.

Well, can I bum one?

- I'm all out.

Sorry.

Are are you, like, mad at me?

- Ready? Ready?

- Here I go.

- Why would I be mad at you?

- I can't feel bad about this.

- Ay, yo, Pink Kirt.

Let's go say "what's up."

- We saying "what up"?

- sh*t.

- Okay.

- What's up, Kirt?

- Heard you were in a time-out.

- What the f*ck?

- Yo, is that a gerbil?

You gonna put that up your butt?

- What?

No, it's a rat.

You're wildin'.

- Her name is Perstephanie,

and even though we just met,

we go way back.

- Wow.

Yeah, I know exactly

what you mean, Kirt.

- This girl, she's there for me

when nobody else is.

- Yo, I wanna be on your level,

bro.

- Facts, me too.

- It's crazy.

- You do?

- Yes.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- You're Honeybear.

You're Janay, and you're Indigo.

- Hey.

Indigo child.

- Yeah, don't get too excited.

We all indigos in a way,

sometime.

- You saved the day

with this one.

- Okay.

- No, but these taste real foul.

- Yo, how long they even take

to kick in?

30, 45?

Some sh*t like that.

- I don't know because I don't

understand time right now.

- Where did you get that rat

from, though?

- Time is an illusion.

- Yeah,

where'd you find the rat?

- She found me.

My gosh.

- What's wrong?

- Your happy trail.

It's not happy.

It's ecstatic.

Hair, makeup.

- Right here!

- Do either of you have

a degree in forestry?

You see this?

I love environmentalism,

but not on my set.

That bush has to go.

- You have to anticipate.

- Like,

I can feel when you do it.

I can feel your hands move.

- I don't like this game.

- So did you grow up vegetarian?

- No, I'm doing a challenge

for the year

by being vegetarian.

- That's it?

It's just a year?

- Yeah.

- And then you're just

gonna go back?

- Yeah.

- Do you do challenges?

Like, is that your thing?

- Yeah.

- What's the next one?

- No Instagram.

- My God.

I gotta do that.

I'm too addicted.

Come up here with me.

- I like the floor.

It's good for my spine.

- Made me feel like

I was special

Feel like a princess,

so very cool

The first time

you were talking to me

You made me feel like

I was special

- Hey.

- Hey.

- We don't have time

for that

- So what part of your spine

hurts?

- For boys like him

We don't have time for that,

we don't have time for that

We don't have time

for boys

- Are you wearing

strawberry ChapStick?

- We don't have time

for that

We don't have time

for that

We don't have time

for boys like him

We don't have time

for that

We don't have time

for that

We don't have time

for boys like him

- It's raspberry.

- We're just some

of the other girls

We're just some

of the other boys

We're just some

of the other girls

We're just some

of the other boys

We're just some

of the other girls

We're just some

of the other boys

We're just some

of the other girls

We're just

- You lied to me.

- I told you

about the comments, Janay.

- I'm not talking

about the comments.

That's not what

I'm talking about.

I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about Yvette.

You lied to me.

- Yeah, right.

Yeah, Yvette.

I should've figured, man.

- I know that

she's telling the truth.

Word?

You know that

she's telling the truth?

- Yes, I do.

- How? How?

- Because the exact same thing

happened to me

when we were together.

- Wow.

Whoa.

You're tripping, Janay.

You're literally on acid, man.

- I know that

she's telling the truth

because back when

we were dating,

I fell asleep and woke up

with your hands down my pants.

- I literally have no idea

what you're talking about.

You know, I didn't process this

for a long time,

and I think it was

because I was so mad at her

for bringing up my sh*t too.

- You literally just said it,

though, Janay.

We were dating.

We were together, were we not?

Do you not let dudes

you're dating cop a feel?

Yes, you do.

Okay, so I'm not perfect, Janay,

but I'm not some evil

r*pist dude.

I'm not.

And honestly, you never

said anything at the time,

neither did she, okay?

And if either of you had said

anything,

then I would have cut it out.

- But how do you say something

when you're asleep?

How?

- I just think it's crazy

that after all these years,

after f*cking doing

this terrible thing to you,

that Yvette Torrio,

out of all people,

gets inside your ear,

and now, all of a sudden,

I'm some monster.

- That's not what I'm saying.

- Then what are you saying?

- That's not what I'm saying.

- That is what you're saying!

What are you saying, then?

I know you, Janay.

You're a strong-a*s woman, okay?

You would never let

anybody me or anybody

Do some sh*t to you that

you wouldn't want them to do.

Am I right?

Yeah.

- Okay.

So you have to see

what she's doing right now.

She's trying to get

inside your head,

and obviously,

it's f*cking working.

I don't know why she's doing it.

Maybe she's f*cking jealous

or something.

I don't know.

But she's crazy.

She's f*cking nuts!

And now she's got you thinking

you're crazy.

Are you crazy?

Are you crazy?

No, I'm not.

No, I'm not.

- 'Cause you acting crazy.

- I was just

I was just so young.

- I was young too!

I was young too, man

but I would never

I would never do anything

to hurt you, Janay, ever.

You are my best friend.

- Yeah, you're mine too.

- No, she shouldn't be out here

past her prime.

That's some saggy sh*t.

- Let her live, bro.

She's feeling herself.

You're, like, sending her

bad vibes with your words.

And also, I know you love

your sisters and your aunties

and your grand-mamas.

They all females.

- Yeah.

- Right?

That's true.

- And Perstephanie's

a female too.

You love her, don't you?

- I f*cking love her.

- Yes, sir.

- Okay, then.

Yo,

if you wanna love the vag*na,

you best love the heart too.

You don't gotta be regulating

on that lady over there.

Yo, we love you!

- Yeah, we love you!

- We love you!

- Yo, I love you!

Yo, I think I really love her.

I think I really do.

- She love you too, bro.

Love you too.

- Hey, can we get more ghetto?

- You see that this sh*t

is f*cked up, right?

- They have a concept, I guess.

- But this is

cultural appropriation.

They're putting mad

black and Latin looks

on white girls.

- For two grand a day,

they can cornrow my bush.

- Bring me the black girl

the one with the tummy fur.

- Hey!

Hey.

Can I talk to you for a second?

- I'm about to leave.

What's up?

- Dude, why are you mad at me?

- I'm not mad at you.

Jesus.

I just told you that.

- But then why are you

being weird and, like

- How am I being weird?

- I don't know.

You're just acting different,

and I just wanna make sure

that we're good

and that we're, like

- I said "We're good,"

so we're good.

Why do you keep trying

to make this a thing?

See, I know this would happen.

Chicks always start bugging

over nothing.

- What?

I'm not I'm just asking you

if I did anything wrong.

- I'm

- You're gonna cry?

No.

- Dude, I seriously can't handle

the tears right now.

- Why are you being so mean?

Stop being so mean.

I'm not

- Why am I being mean?

- Yeah!

I didn't do anything to you.

I'm just trying to figure out

what I did wrong.

I didn't do anything.

What?

- This is just some, like,

third grade sh*t.

I

I'm over this right now.

I'm out.

- So thanks for walking me here.

You didn't have to do that.

- I know.

I wanted to.

sh*t.

- What?

Who are we hiding from?

- My dad.

- Why don't we just say "Hey"?

It's just your dad.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

Let's just go.

Let's just go.

- What?

- Let's just go.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

- So I guess you're not out yet?

- There's no "in" and "out."

I don't do labels.

- Okay,

I'm just trying to understand.

Is your dad conservative

or something?

- No, it's just it's how I am.

- What does that mean?

I mean,

you literally just grabbed me

and pulled me behind some pole.

- Look, I don't need

to explain myself.

Just because we hooked up

doesn't mean I need

to "process."

- Okay, that's mean.

Look, I know that this is not

a comfortable conversation.

We can just stop.

- Yeah, yeah,

we can stop right now.

Like, I'm done.

I don't wanna do this anymore.

I gotta go.

- Honeybear.

Are you serious?

Just like that?

Yo!

- Digging deeper

for a way out

- Nightfall comes

but we're not done

Falling further

- Let me guess.

Bambi sh*t, right?

What happened?

- Nothing.

Literally, nothing.

He won't tell me

what I did wrong.

I don't know why he's mad or

- Dude, it's Bambi

we're talking about.

He's a f*cking d*ck.

- Isn't he your good friend?

He's my boy,

but that doesn't mean

he's not a f*cking d*ck.

Look, I don't know

if this is gonna

make you feel any better

or worse.

I'ma be honest.

He's been doing this sh*t

forever.

And I understand how you feel,

Camille.

Honestly.

When he shines

that light on you,

it feels so f*cking good.

When he takes it from you,

that sh*t is ice-f*cking-cold.

You'll be all right.

Since a baby in her tummy,

Mama knew I was great

They can't play me

They know what not to take

When the times was rough,

I would look up and pray

Thank God I ain't have to

smack a b*tch today

My f*cking God.

- Smack a b*tch today

Thank God I ain't have to

smack a b*tch today

Yeah!

- Monday is blue,

Tuesday is green,

and Wednesday is orange.

- We don't play that.

- Janay always tries to say

that it's purple,

but she's wrong.

- You're both wrong.

Isn't it char-queese?

- Chartreuse.

- "Charq-queese."

- Chartreuse.

- Which which one

is chartreuse again?

- Don't you guys hate it

when you first start crushing

on somebody

and then all you wanna do

is just f*cking eat their face?

Like aggressively

eat their face?

- Yo, I used to talk

to this fine-a*s boy

from f*cking London,

and he had that accent.

And I don't know,

we were just laying in bed

one day,

and I was looking at him,

and I'm like,

"Damn, son, I just wanna

f*cking k*ll you right now."

'Cause I'm like,

"how can somebody keep f*cking

controlling me like this?"

And then I was like, "Damn,

I couldn't k*ll him by myself.

He's too big."

- Whaa!

- Twah.

- You know what else is rad?

The number five.

- Yo, you f*ck' right.

- So what color is blue?

- Low key.

- Yo, Kirt, what color is blue?

Right?

I'm like,

"What number is blue?"

- Yeah, color blue is blue.

- 22.

- 22!

She bust my head with that one.

- That's my life path,

number 22.

- What the hell that mean?

- Yo.

- Call it a vag*na.

- "vag*na" sounds worse!

- It's a medical term.

It's proper.

- I'd rather say "p*ssy."

Or "my little thing."

- No.

- Little miss thing?

- Worse. Worse.

- Who determines

what is harassment

and what is not harassment?

Is it the courts?

Is it you? Is it me?

- It's if I you feel harassed.

- Yeah.

- 'Cause if you don't feel

harassed, then it's not a issue.

But if you start feeling

harassment,

and you get uncomfortable

and you get to that point

where, like, I don't want to be

in this situation,

that's harassment,

and you have to

- And address it.

- I don't mind all catcalling.

- Yeah, I agree.

- Like, I don't know.

- I'm just not about to

"me too" some rando

for, like, telling me

my butt looks great.

- Hey!

I'm out chere.

Feelin' like a tree.

You blend in.

- My first kiss was a tree.

- You kissed a tree before?

- Yeah.

- Damn.

- You never kissed a tree?

Please touch my belly.

- Biscuits.

- Making biscuits!

- We gonna make biscuits, guys?

They wanna make biscuits.

- Meow. Meow!

Meow.

- Yo, what you meowing for?

She's a rat, not a cat.

- So

- You're probably scaring

her away.

- What the f*ck am I supposed

to do, then?

- She is scared!

She's hiding!

- So what am I supposed to do?

- My God!

Perstephanie!

- Yo, I

I think I found

one of her feathers.

- Yo!

Yo, I'm too, high for all this.

Yo, Kirt, maybe

you didn't lose her.

- What do you mean?

- Maybe she ran away.

Like you did.

- Wow.

My God.

I think I do get what you mean.

I lost my baby.

Pshh.

- But Perstephanie's

just a rat, yo.

- And so am I.

- Facts.

- You get it?

You get it?

- I get it, yeah.

- I get it, yeah.

- You're a rat.

- Right there, right there.

- Put it up, man.

Up. All right.

- Here we go.

- Yeah.

- Game, baby.

Here we go.

- We got your texts.

- Yeah, so, um,

I wanted to tell you guys

that I'm the rat.

- What?

- Just listen.

I met someone,

thought we were friends,

hung out all day,

shared a few laughs,

and when I looked up,

she was gone.

She ran off,

just like I did to you guys.

And, um, she was a rat

that I bought.

- Okay.

- Dude, are you high?

- Not that much anymore.

But what I'm trying to say

is that I f*cked up

and I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have ran off

and started sh*t at The Dome.

And it's my fault

you guys got arrested.

I know I need to be better,

and I know I need to relax.

And I'm really sorry,

and I hope you can forgive me.

- Come here.

- And you know you have to

apologize to Camille, right?

sh*t.

You're right, I need to find

that b*tch.

My God.

I feel like you should host

I tried that one time,

nobody came.

You're really gonna let that

Yo, stop stop!
