01x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

It's been weeks.

It's become obvious that
this is just not for you.

And I'm not getting
what I want either.

What do you want?

[Benny] What do
you think I want?

My lovin's.

Yeah, your lovin's.

I tried to have sex with you
last time, but you ran away.

Apparently I can't handle
my street psychedelics.

[Tab] I just thought it
was gonna make you horny.

I'm always horny for you.

You didn't even have to try.

Tab, if being in a relationship
with me felt normal to you,

we'd have done it by now.

I like you.

I really do.

I think you're a special guy.

But I don't wanna turn you
into something that you're not.

[Tab] I just need some time.

What you need

is a new plan.

Drop to the right.

[Clark] Do you wanna
hang out after this?

[Bud] Where?

[Clark] My place.

I don't think so.

So, that was a one time thing?

It was Grindr.

But we know each other.

And I wanted to get with you
before I saw you on Grindr.

[Bud] We have months
of classes together.

Why complicate things?

[Clark] Well, I thought
it was pretty simple.

You're the one who's
making things complicated.

You're out of
step with the time.

Yeah, I guess I am.

- Hi.
- What's the matter?

Daddy dumped me.

Where does it hurt, baby?

[Tab] Nowhere.

Well, that's probably
why he dumped you.

Sugar flows both ways.

[Tab] Yeah, I know.

I'm not lending you rent.

I don't need more money.

I just needed more time.

Tab, it's not for everyone.

There's no shame
in liking girls.

I like Benny too.

What are you saying?

Like, like him?

Like him?

[Tab] Yeah, kinda.

You're full of surprises.

I liked hanging out with him.

Like talking about stuff and
legal precedents and music.

All the songs that I like,

they're already songs
when he was young.

Just but no rap.

Well maybe you
could be friends.

You think like, he'd hang
out with me like, for free?

You can ask.

Oh, look at you.

I'm interested.

- Is that a daddy?
- Yup.

When do you want to?

Wait, did it not work
out with number two?

Oh, I'm still gonna
see Gus for now,

but we don't have much in
common, so I'm still looking.

Tonight, yes.

Seven.

Okay, eight.

So you're juggling daddies.

Actually, Mickey
didn't pay his phone bill

so he is using my phone

and I just made him a
date with a sexy Greek.

- Really?
- Sexy to me.

Well, he looks Greek.

Huh.

Mickey.

What?

Wakey, wakey.

Early bird gets the worm.

I don't want your worm.

It's not my worm.

Have your shower
and get dressed.

You can thank me.

I made you a date with a daddy.

Chop chop.

That's a little too
Dickensian orphan.

We want him to think you're
financially disadvantaged

but not living in
a refrigerator box.

What do you know
about this guy?

He earns 200,000 a year.

Doing what?

That's a little vague

but a good conversation
starter on your date.

Does it say anything specific?

Is he married, traveling,
anything I need to know?

Why not just
wear a garbage bag?

It says his favorite song

is "Do That To Me
One More Time."

Am I supposed
to know that one?

I take it at face value.

How do I know this guy's
not like a serial k*ller?

Check the freezer as
soon as you get there.

He's burly and seems butch.

I'd have taken him for
myself, but he wants a top.

So he's a bottom.

That's something specific

That is not specific.

He didn't say power bottom

or hungry bottom or dirty
bottom or toothy bottom-

Stop.

If he doesn't fall
for you instantly,

then he's a stringy bottom.

Oh god, man.

So, what can I get for you?

Soda water.

This is really weird, right?

A little bit, yeah.

You're a really handsome guy.

Thanks.

You too.

I wasn't bad like
when I was your age.

So what are you looking for?

Like, in an arrangement?

Something uncomplicated.

You can be
uncomplicated, can't you?

I guess so.

Good.

Let's just hang
out, talk for a bit.

I don't need your
whole lot of biography

or anything like that.

We can talk about news,
history, sports, arts,

whatever you want.

Let's just see how we get along.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

In fact, let's get a
little something to eat.

Just enough to stay
in a good mood.

Not enough to get
tired, bloated.

Sounds like a plan.

Excellent.

When my father found out I was
having sex with a maitre de,

he told me to get out

never come back and then I
wouldn't inherit a thing.

So I told him I'd tell my mother

he was screwing the hostess.

The widow two doors up,
my third grade teacher,

and two other women that
I knew about at the time.

And then I'd still inherit
half of everything he owned

after my mother divorced him.

So he looked at me and he went,

"You're getting a promotion."

[both laughing]

Eventually, I did
inherit everything.

Three restaurants and a boat.

I gave half of it to my
sister, which I regret now.

I have to deal with
her idiot of a husband.

I should've just given
her half the money

to do with as she wanted.

Hindsight's 20-20.

What about you?

Well, I never met my dad.

So not a lot of
good dad anecdotes.

Not your dad, you.

You have any goals?

Did you study?

What you wanna do?

School wasn't really
for me, you know.

I could never really
make it to class.

Ah, too much partying.

Basically, yeah.

I learn better on my own.

I like to read.

[Costas] So what do you
wanna do with your life?

I have no idea.

- Party and read?
- Yeah.

Yeah, that sounds awesome.

Wouldn't pay the bills though.

Wouldn't really pay for the cush

or the books for that matter.

Well, let's see.

Maybe we can pay to
read and dream about it,

for a little while at least.

Are you g*y?

I don't think so.

Straight?

That's so passe.

I'm too young to be straight.

Yeah, fair enough.

Well, anything else you
wanna know about me?

I guess it's about time.

We should make a decision.

What do you think?

Should we give this a try?

[birds chirping]

- Mommy.
- Hey, bud.

[Bud] I brought laundry.

[Fern] Stir this a minute.

So, Bud, did you get a new job?

Not no.

Odds and ends, bits.

I was just checking
your bank account balance

the other day and noticed
a few sizable deposits.

Round figures.

$300, three times.

Why are you checking on me?

Just making sure
you don't starve.

I've checked your bank
account balance every month

since you were seven.

Well, at a certain
point, you stop.

Like, you don't walk
me to school anymore

or wipe my butt or-

Do your laundry?

Does she do your laundry?

Thought so.

Where's this
money coming from?

Are you selling drugs?

What? No.

Are you selling your a*s?

You are.

It's not like the
way you're saying it.

Oh my God.

Is this how I raised you?

I don't know how
to answer that.

It's a really bad idea, Bud.

You're not related to me.

Larry is part of this family.

[Bud] Your family, not mine.

This stops now.

[Bud] It's none
of your business.

I'm not supporting this.

So, you're on your own.

Oh, and the second installment
of tuition's due next week.

So good luck with that.

You're cutting me off?

How is that supposed to help?

When you stop whoring,
then you can come see me.

I'll always be a
wh*re in your eyes.

Bud.

He hasn't had a
job in like, a year.

So what's he do for you
that you pay for his room

and board and entertainment?

Hmm?

So, I guess you did
raise me this way.

[Bud sniffing]

[both moaning]

Yes.

[both moaning]

Yes.

[Gus humming]

♪ I love you

[Buds mom] Bud. Baby,

I wanna explain the
difference between my marriage

and what you're doing.

♪ I love you

Yes, I do a lot for Larry,

and I pay for things for now.

The difference is, I love him.

♪ I love this night

Driving.

Well, if I drink the
whole bottle by myself,

I'm gonna get pretty silly.

[Benny] You don't have to
drink the whole bottle, Tab.

What do you mean?

Hey, Tab!

Sarah.

'Sup?

'Sup, girls?

Is Mickey around or?

[Tab] Nah.

Bud here or you're just
hanging out with your friend?

Just hanging out and
bumped into my old teacher.

Oh, cool.

Well, have fun catching up.

Can you tell Mickey he can
pick up my shift on Saturday?

I tried his phone but...

He didn't pay the bill.

I figured.

All right, I'll see you later.

- See ya.
- Bye.

[classical music plays]

You mad at me?

Why would I be?

I don't know.

You're ashamed
to be seen with me.

I'm not.

You said it was your teacher.

Well, you are.

Aren't you?

I didn't want her
telling people.

Does anybody know about me?

My roommates.

Do they know my
name or where I live?

No.

Well, does anyone know about me?

No one at all.

And if we were out and
saw someone from your work,

like a judge or something,

wouldn't you make up a story?

Yeah, I would.

Sorry.

♪ Give me one kiss goodbye

♪ Don't try to
make for a while ♪

♪ Oooh
