If we don't do this,

Sophie will actually quit.

The Roland can print

Sophie's order.

No, but I can't figure it out.

Well it's not my fault that you

keep wasting your shift time.

Whatever.

Just please just help me.

Please?

f*ck, I know, ok?

I'm sorry.

This time it really is

an emergency, ok?

What's the emergency?

Becca. I think we should

end things.

Did you hear what I said?

[cell phone chimes]

Are you f*cking kidding me?

What?

You're breaking up with me?

I have been like perfect.

Becca, just listen.

Like the perfect girlfriend.

Ok?

That's a little exaggerated.

What more do you want?

Time? Honesty?

I told you.

I've been busy hanging

out with Zoe.

I know that's total bullshit,

Becca.

If you don't trust me-

No, Clem, you're the one

that doesn't trust me, ok?

I-

You are keeping me

out of your life!

Maybe! Maybe, yeah.

That's not what I want.

We're done, Clem.

I'm breaking up with you.

You're dead to me.

- Becca, don't be like this.

- Dead to me!

Fine, you want to be this-

Oh what?

Like you've never deleted

an ex before.

Where are you?

You look great.

Rebecca.

Oh.

It was a trap to come

meet you.

Come with me.

She'll be a while.

Are we not gonna talk

about the fact that Mah Mah

is apparently Beyonce?

Mah Mah says you seem

to be distracted,

and sad lately.

I'm fine. I'm handling it.

That's what your mother

always says.

Great.

It's it's a compliment

to be similar to your mother.

Show her some respect.

Like you and your secretary?

Your mother knows

And I know everything

that she does.

That What?

We don't judge one another.

We're honest.

♪

What, are your names

on that or something?

No.

Ok, cool story, Dad.

When the Chinese were

first allowed in the country,

they were charged an extra fine,

a head tax.

It bankrupted the poorest of us

who were just trying to find

a new world to rebuild in.

Years ago, government

apologized.

Promised to pay back the

descendants of the families.

But still, they were tricky.

Your mother and I called

families all across the country,

for weeks, months.

Translating and helping them

through all the legal jargon.

Teaching them how to get

their money back.

And then a bunch of them

turned around and-

Donated it back

into the community.

To this centre.

But our family didn't pay

a head tax.

So, you and Mom just

called around

for strangers, like, for free?

Your mother and I understand

that true strength

comes from family

and community.

And even friendship.

That's how you leave

a legacy.

We survive together.

We succeed together.

We're strong together.

[sighs]

[cell phone chimes]

Oh sh*t! Oh f*ck,

oh sh*t!

We totally did it!

Situation handled by me!

Oh my god, you should

have seen it,

I tricked all the police

officers!

[screaming]

[Sally] Ow!!

Shut the f*ck up, Sally.

You're being so f*cking loud.

Hey, Zoe.

Hey, Rebecca.

Let's go straight

into the kitchen.

[heavy breathing]

Your shirt's inside out.

Hm?

Your shirt.

Oh. Hm. Mm hm.

So his name is Jerome and he

asked me if I've had water.

So, this time I'm like, yeah,

I could have some water.

So he leaves to go

get me water-

Sally.

And then he comes back

and he's like

"I like your shirt."

And I'm like, oh my god!

Are you a Savoyer?

What's a Savoyard?

We're like totally gatekeepers

of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas.

- Operettas

- Then what?

So, long story short,

he's not.

Not what?

Savoyard.

So after Jer,

they send in Robin,

and she's maybe like

- Sally, what the f*ck happened?

- Five foot

- We don't need to know that.

- I swear

Guys, guys, guys!

This is like the fifth officer

that's been in to chat with me.

- Sally

- Mmmhmm.

You said that something

happened, right?

So did you change the story?

Ok, a little.

Did you know that 40

percent of kids

as early as 15 years

old are drinking?

And underaged drinking

and motor impairment

are the leading cause

of preventable death

for the age groups of

15 to 25-year-olds?

Did you memorize that?

That, you memorized?!

Sally. Sally, what

are you saying?

I told them the truth.

Like, that is a crazy statistic.

And there literally

is a bad guy.

Our Phantom in the shadows.

We're all lured in by

the promise of money.

- We?

- Who's we?

Oh my god, not "we."

We like the royal we.

[exhales] He lures innocent kids

into doing his dealing.

Now that I've been caught,

he's gone totally radio silent.

Ok.

And you guys,

they totally bought it.

I just have to check in

with a guidance counsellor,

just like you said, Rebecca.

They totally let me

off the hook.

- Wow.

- Yeah!

Actually, could I get

some water.

- I I can't.

- Yeah.

So, Sally bought that

we all quit?

You, me and Sophie?

It's pretty cool of Sophie

to keep the secret.

Just we don't have to talk,

ok?

[sighs] Fine.

Oh, hey.

Hi, Tryst.

What's up?

What happened

to your hand?

Oh, this?

Yeah, I don't know.

Why don't you tell me.

Yeah, when were you

going to tell me

that Sally was f*cking arrested,

huh?!

- Wha?

- How do you know-

What does that have anything

to do with your hand?

Did your hand-

Da! Da! Da! Da!

Wrong answer.

What the f*ck?

Time is up.

Wait, what are you doing?

- What are you Tryst?

- Tryst!

- What are you doing!

- Oh my god!

I am not f*cking around,

ladies!

Do you understand that?

Yeah. No one is f*cking

around here except for you.

- What the f*ck!

- Stop touching our sh*t!

Oh, your sh*t?

This is your sh*t?!

No!

- This is all your sh*t?

- Leave the squad alone.

No. Trystan, no.

Trystan, I swear to god,

if you even touch RBG.

Well, I mean, it is mine.

- It's mine!

- It has my name on it.

It was shipped to me

and I signed for it.

I bought it!

Well, you owe me 20K easy

for helping you set

all this stuff up.

All this stuff is my stuff,

Tryst!

Ok, everyone just chill out.

Tryst, let us just pay you back.

Or is there another reason

why you're so f*cking pissed?

You don't f*cking

listen to me ever!

That's why I'm f*cking pissed!

This is not about me!

This is about you and you

f*cking up a good thing!

You are the only one that

is pulling the plugs here!

Oh, Zoe, I am way

beyond talking.

I am way beyond it.

This is my space and I need you

two to get the f*ck out of here

before you get us all k*lled.

- What are you-

- Who the hell-

Get the f*ck out!

Now!

What the f*ck?

f*ck you, Tryst!

Who the f*ck does

he think he is?!

This is our business!

Becca.

He smashed AOC.

AOC is healthy and alive

in congress.

That was just a printer.

Those printers are like the

only thing I've ever bought

that I actually care about.

AOC, Ilhan, CORI.

I get it. I get it.

We're girl bosses.

We are more than girl bosses,

Zoe, ok?

We can be more,

we can be

Woah, woah, woah.

It's ok. It's ok.

[cell phone vibrates]

Who's calling you?

Uh, nobody.

I'm really sorry about

what I said to you.

It wasn't about you, it was just

my own insecurities and..

You knew that and I still

lashed out at you.

I took our friendship

for granted.

Oh, Jesus me,

that's pretty heavy.

I know, but just let me finish.

I was just trying to think of

the meanest thing

that I could say to you.

But I didn't mean any of it.

Ok?

I'm really sorry.

[cell phone vibrates]

Look, Zoe. I'm really sorry,

ok?

Uh I'm sorry too.

Yeah.

I did the whole

self-therapy thing,

and, looking back,

she gave me nothing.

[chuckles]

Ok, well, um, I should probably

get going.

Ok.

But, um, everything

will be ok.

Alright?

Mmmhmm.

- Ok.

- Bye.

Ok. See ya.
