No mimes either.
Okay. Thank you so much.

All right, what's up?
Well...
Unfortunately,
there's no easy way to say this.
It's the least favorite part of my job.
Oh, God.
I'm sorry, but sometimes
these things happen.
And, listen,
you've done a great job here so far...
Yeah, I know I've done a great job.
Who do I have to speak to?
I can't get fired right now.
- I-I don't have any savings.
- Rita. Rita.
- I don't have anything to look for a...
- Rita.
Rita.
I am not f*ring you.
- But...
- Word has spread across Indian Country.
People know you and they trust you,
and there are two IHS facilities
who are making an offer
to you, Rita.
Come on down. Promotion time.
- [EXCLAIMS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
- You should've opened with that.
My heart's racing,
like, a mile a minute.
You'll be getting an email
later on today.
What are the jobs?
Community programming, event planning.
But they are for larger programs.
One in Oklahoma City
and one in Albuquerque.
- What, I have to move?
- It's more money.
A lot more money.
Long-term contracts. Stability, Rita.
I would accept in a
heartbeat if I was you.
We'll really hate to lose you, though.
But Tonkawa City, Rita.
[WHOOPING]

Money...
[CONTINUES SINGING]

Oh, sh*t. It was nice knowing you.
Can my cousin live at your house?
He can't pay rent, but he's
clean and tidy and stuff.
No, I haven't made a decision yet.
What's to decide?
Well, I've never left Okern.
Not for long, anyways.
And definitely not to live.
What's keeping you here? This job?
- All the cousins you can't date?
- [SIGHS]
- Bear?
- Yeah. Bear.
Oh, Bear's grown.
He'll be out on his own soon.
Bear, Bear is not grown.
Grown enough for you to do

I'll go anywhere.
I'll go to Kansas City.
I'll go to Washington, D.C.

That was me. The spirit.

What do you want?
To see you.
Or rather you see me.
Why?
Stop asking so many questions.
You're giving me a headache.

Larry. Does he have any openings?
Do you have an appointment?
What? No.
You need an appointment.

I still make appointments.

It doesn't count right now.
We're at work.
You have to have an appointment.

Take that, fill it out. Have a seat.
I saw Cookie last night.

Like, exactly the same way
I remember her.
Give me the clipboard.
I only do this for my friends,
especially friends
who are losing their sh*t.

It's been really,

I'm so surprised.
This is your first time here, right?
Uh, yeah.
[LARRY SIGHS]
Feel free to lose the glasses.
I know I'm glowing, but...
So, what brings you here today?
Uh, well, I guess
it started yesterday.
Um, I got a job offer.
A really good one.
Something I-I really didn't know
that I was working toward...
And you felt impostor syndrome over it.
Totally understandable trauma response.
We are Native, we have trauma...
No, not, not, not really.
I just started this, um...
Uh...
I-I, I started seeing my dead friend.
Uh... you what?
I started seeing my friend.
She's dead.
Y-You mean you felt her presence.
Right?
No, like she's up and walking around.
She was in my house,
in the flesh and blood.
Well... we don't see dead friends.
I mean, what's the point of being dead
if you can be seen again?
Maybe we manifest those people
that we really want to return again.
But it's in your mind.
I once thought that I saw
Lou Diamond Phillips
everywhere that I went.
But with therapy I realized
it was just this Hopi guy
who was in town working as a welder.
It was my trauma
that made that connection
because I had this particular...
[CRYING] strong response to...
...the major motion picture La Bamba.
I didn't want him
to get on that plane.
Ritchie!
Uh, Larry?
[SIGHS]
But we learn to work
through our trauma.
You see, Lou Diamond
Phillips wasn't real.
I mean, he's real,
but, like, it's not
like he was in town
working as a welder.
Uh... I don't know what
this has to do with me.
When you see the dead,
maybe it's you who needs something.
You think so?
[EXHALES]
I have a : , so...
- What, you kicking me out?
- Yeah.
I've been here for five minutes.
But you didn't have an appointment
and Bev asked me to squeeze you in.
You've been squeezed.

Ooh!
Already out.
This is gonna be easy.
[SIGHS]
What are you doing here?
Maybe I'm not here.
What did your psychiatrist say?
Well, he didn't believe me,
so I didn't push it.
'Cause you already know why I'm here.
No, no, I really, I really don't.
If you say so. How's Bear?
Why do you keep asking about Bear?
To see if you know.
He's fine, he's, you know,
doesn't remind me of Punkin anymore,

Is that why you came to visit me?
To eat catfish?
Catfish is life, you know.
Is that what you want? Life?
Well, uh...

Rita, are you okay?
I could call Bear,
I could call a doctor.
No, no, Rob, I'm fine.
You're obviously talking
to someone who's not here.
You've got two baskets of catfish.
Rob, we've known
each other a long time.
I know, we used to date.
[COOKIE CHUCKLES] What?
You just took me
to junior high dance, like...
What would you
call that if not a date?
I got you a corsage.
You taught me how to French.
Okay, that was a long time ago.
You didn't tell anybody
when my retainer fell out.
- [GROANS]
- And you could have told anybody you wanted to.
Okay, all right.
It's beside the point.
I just, I need you to, um...
I just need you to let this one go.
Please, Rob.
Okay.
[COOKIE] God.
Can't I just want to have
an awesome catfish dinner
with my girlfriend?
- How'd it go?
- [RITA] Sorry.
- She's toast.

an everyday occurrence
that I'm just seeing spirits
all over the damn place.
At one point in time I thought
we were gonna get married.
Wow.
This is just extra
'cause I wanted catfish.
I do need your help.
I just didn't know how to ask.
Just ask.

Yeah. We can do that.

No, no, no, I'm good, um...
Yeah, I think I'm

Um, just came to check something out.

How are things?
Uh, good.
Ask if she's happy,
not if things are good.
Are you happy?
Yeah. No complaints.
Now, tell her, from me...
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm good.
I'm good.
'Cause you seem a little...

I suppose I am. Do you mind if I...?

I don't know what I'm gonna do yet.
Promotion. That's... it's cool.
You're, uh, getting any perks?
Yeah, lots of perks.
I'd have to move, though.
Move?
Don't tell Bear. I don't know...

want to do all those things.
I hate the freeway.
