- Roomie!

I don't think I see you, but you did look

different in every photo you sent me.

Carm, I'm in sort of, like,

a pink little crop moment.

- I think I see you.

- Really?

- Are you Latinx?

- Uh, Latinx?

Roomie-a*s b*tch!

Oh, my God. I love you.

She's so lucky ♪

Where are your parents? I wanna meet them.

I'm good with parents, I swear to God.

- Not mine but everyone else's.

- Oh. My parents, they, uh

they were crying so hard

and it was so embarrassing

so I was like,

"Scram."

f*ck.

I just sent my loser stepdad to go get

us another beanbag chair at Tarjay,

so now I hoped yours could

help me carry my vanity.

Our vanity.

I begged my mom, and she finally caved

and got us a GRÅFJÄLLET.

Okay, great.

Hey. Oh. Hey, papa bear. Hi.

Would you actually mind

carrying that to our room?

I'm just really exhausted carrying

these t*ts around.

There's the

last of it.

- Oh, my God.

- Oh. Benny, there's your sister.

Grace must have dropped 20.

And you thought her spending all

summer with Peter was a bad idea.

- No, I didn't.

- Sh-She looks like a different person.

- I didn't.

- Wow.

- Hey! Frisbee! Hit me!

- All right, watch out!

Sorry!

Nut sack.

- Are you okay?

- I'm good.

- Hi, Mom.

- You look fantastic, honey.

- Hi.

- Hey.

A million f*cking colleges

and you have to choose mine.

You know Dad made me.

Only 'cause you've never

made a choice of your own.

Mr. S, I don't know if

Grace mentioned it, but, uh,

for most of the summer I was

interning with Hawksworth Financial.

You know, Ben's gonna be

a business major as well.

Ah, smart man, Bento.

- Thanks. I I love business.

- He loves business.

I'm sad I didn't get

to meet your roommate.

His intro email said he rows crew

so, probably has crazy hours.

Yeah, I think that's it.

Oh, Mom, it's okay.

- Who will I be when you go?

- You'll be okay, Mom.

Sorry.

Okay.

Awesome. Yeah.

- Bye, Mom.

- I love you.

I love you too.

Oh, my God. She's still there.

I've seen that movie 500 times.

Okay, fine, I've seen it

I've never seen it.

Yo.
