Post by bunniefuu »

[Baby crying]

Okay, so, yes, you can
safely surrender a baby

hours after it's born.

And this one's smelling
like very fresh p*ssy,

so we good there.

Literally, all I can smell
is the placenta.

Is it leaking?

So, just, like, hand the baby
over and no questions asked?

- No, they...
- That's... That's it?

They literally cannot
ask you any questions.

Aw, f*ck, why can't there be
that law for my parents?

A-And, yes, you have days
to change your mind.

No, no, no, no, no, baby.

Don't worry. I'm not changing my mind.

We talked about this,
and you need to go to someone

who wants to take care of you.

Please just let them be
socially conscious.

And feminist.

[Sing-song voice] Someone who
stands up to heteronormativity

and unrealistic body expectations.

Shh, shh, shh.

And systemic racism.

And animal abuse.

Oh, yes.

You know what you want in life.

and you're going to ask for it.

Ooh!

Hey, you know what?

Some of my best lays have been

in roadside motels.

Uh, hey there.

Called about the rooms?

'Cause our bus broke down?

You're not sex trafficking
these kids, right?

What? No.

Young lady, are you being
sex trafficked?

[Scoffs] No.

Why does everyone always ask me that?

Okay. Credit card?

Uh, um...

So, surprise.

Uh, this... this isn't the Castro.

But sometimes being q*eer
is about resilience.

Some might even argue
that's really all it's about.

We are resourceful,

um, we are quick on our feet,

and, um...

and, uh...

Screw it.

Chester, J. [Clears throat]

Riley, Greta.

Uh, Naomi, Arianna.

Nathan, uh, Cooper.

Delilah, Christina.

And...

Luz, Lily.

Nope. I don't share.

Okay, but that'll put three in a room.

Okay. Also, they're freshmen.

NAOMI: Can Delilah sleep with us?

Sure.

- Aah!
- Yay.

- Aah!
- Yay.

- Yay!
- I'm excited!

It's you and me, homey.

SAM: [Groans] Gimme something here!

Come on!

m*therf*cker!

[Bang, machine beeps]

[Banging, squeaking]

- Is this dinner?
- [Laughs]

Well, it's either this or
a French Hawaiian fusion place

called Bonjour Kauai.

Really screamed drug front.

But this vending machine
does not want to see me win.

Okay, all right. Watch this.

- Okay.
- [Coins jingling]

Thank you.

[Coins clinking]

[Keypad beeping]

[Machine whirring]

- [Thunk]
- Yes!

Okay. You're magic.

[Both laughing]

- [Microwave beeps]
- Proteins, carbs, and greens.

Ain't nobody getting scurvy on my watch.

- Greens?
- Yeah.

Remind me, you got a degree
in education, right?

Like, you paid someone
to be this bad at your job?

Yeah. That's right. And remind me...

you got a degree from the famed

Norwegian University of Coont, right?

[Laughs] Holy sh*t. He went there!

[Chuckles] Yeah, he really did.

And he's instantly regretting it.

- I won't tell.
- Well, thank you.

That's what friends are for.

You disappointed about San Francisco?

Um, the thing about
"Paris Is Burning" is, like,

it was made by some rich white woman

who took on Black and brown stories,

and, like, did she really
share the gold with them?

I was gonna ask her about it,

and that probably would've made you mad.

It would not have made me mad,

assuming you weren't gonna
be a bitch about it.

Oh, I'm always a bitch.

Eh, two-thirds of the time.

Oh, the shade!

[Laughs]

What about the other third?

Uh, you know what I think. I told you.

- What?
- You know.

No, seriously, what?

That you're the person I wish
I'd been when I was younger.

I know, I just wanted
to hear you say it again.

Oh, you know what?
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Text everyone. Tell them dinner's ready.

- Belly flop!

Belly flop!

Do I really have to?

- Yes!
- Belly flop!

NAOMI: Make sure to spread eagle!

Let her at least hold her titties down.

Which look amazing, by the way.

[Laughter]

Okay, okay, okay, okay!

sh*t!

Oh, God! f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

[All shouting]

The worst thing I ever did?

[Laughter]

Probably the time
I pretended to have cancer

to get a free ice cream cone
from Baskin-Robbins.

What?

Oh, I used to always pretend
I was Make-A-Wish

to get to the front of the lines
at Disneyland.

Labia majora.

- Labia majora.
- [Laughter]

[Louder] Labia majora.

Labia majora.

- Yeah! Whoo!
- Labia majora!

Labia majora!

Labia majora!!

- Labia majora!!

Guys, guys, guys, guys! Come on!

Come on, stop! Come on!

Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Okay, guys, um, let's move this
into my room.

ALL: Do it. Do it!

- Yeah!
- Do it!

- Yes, yes, yes.
- Yeah!

- [All shouting]
- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Ew, ew, ew, ew!

- [All screaming]
- Damn!

Straight boys really be putting
their tongues anywhere, huh?

Yes!

[All scream]

Um, I dare you to...

trade shirts with Naomi.

- Ohh!
- f*cking kidding me? Asshat.

[Laughter]

I was admiring it. So...

Yeah, 'cause it's a f*cking cute top.

Ooh! Yeah!

The strip tease.

Okay, my turn, my turn.

Nathan.

- [Laughing]
- Mm?

- Truth or dare?
- Dare.

But something about you
kind of scares me right now.

Yeah, it should.

I dare you,

Arianna, and Chester,

to three-way kiss.

[Laughter]

Um...

I'm down.

- What?!
- That is sick.

Fine. Fine.

But I'm recording.

And if any of you tell anyone,

I'm releasing it to the world.

- [Cellphone dings]
- f*ck. I'm out of storage.

Can you record for me?

Please don't make me do this.

I need you to. Please.

f*ck.

[Laughter]

Are you ready?

Yeah. Um...

- Ohh! Okay!
- Coming in hot!

- Oh!
- Yo!

- Oh, my God!
- [Laughing]

- I'm gonna be sick.
- Holy sh*t.

This is lit... This is disgusting.

Arianna, literally stop. This is like...

Shut the f*ck up.

Like p*rn.

- Ooh! Ooh!
- [Laughs]

- Wow.
- Ohh! Ugh!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Ah!

- I can't do this.
- Oh, my God.

COOPER: What the f*ck?

And you guys were on me
for a toilet seat?

[Laughter]

You know I'm coming for you.

Yeah, okay, fair.

Dare.

You literally never pick truth.

Nothing good ever comes
from telling the truth.

Okay, I dare you to, uh, use your fake

to buy a bottle of wine from the lobby.

- Actually, yeah.
- Okay.

Yes, I love you, I love you, I love you!

- Go, go.
- Let's go. Let's go.

- It was nice knowing you, lady.
- Come with me.

NATHAN: Can I go again while we wait?

ARIANNA: Sure, Nathan. Sure.

Chester.

If the world was ending
and you had to pick one person

to be stuck on a desert island
with, who would it be?

Wait, there is someone.

Who is it? Do we know him?

No.

Okay, so we know him.

Yeah. Sure. It's Idris Elba.

Guys, I'm bored with this.
Like, let's be done.

What's the point
of playing truth or dare

- if you're not gonna tell the truth?
- Dude, leave him alone!

[Bang]

- Oh, my God!
- Are you kidding me?!

- Look what you did.
- I'm sorry.

- [Knock on door]
- Do not look at me like that.

SAM: Guys! minutes to lights out.

ARIANNA: Honestly,
I'm not even mad about

missing out on slutty clubbing
in San Francisco.

'Cause Cooper's tongue on that toilet...

- f*ck!
- [Laughter]

That was definitely not his first time.

Def-in-it-ely.

Damn, I wish I was that toilet seat!

DELILAH: Oh, sh*t.

- What?
- What?

[Laughing] This is bad.
This is really bad.

I think I want to f*ck Cooper.

[Screaming, laughing]

Wait, you haven't touched a d*ck.

- Uh, she...
- [Snorts] What?!

Every detail. Immediately.

Okay, okay, um...

Uh, um...

- I f*cked J.
- [Laughing] Oh!

Actually f*cked? Like, f*cked f*cked?

Yeah, I don't know, he's so sweet

and so Zen in that hot way.

Say it! Spill it, spill it!

Oh, he was just asking
for consent over and over,

which was so hot.

And... And I was just like,
yes, yes, yes!

All this enthusiastic consenting
makes me want to f*ck you

- so hard right now.
- [Laughs]

[Scoffs]

- What was it like?
- Amazing.

I mean, it... I mean,
it was kind of fast

- 'cause he had to pull out, but amazing.
- Oh, my God.

- Yeah, but then we...
- [Laughs]

we decided not to date because

we didn't want to lose
each other as friends.

But, like, I don't think I'd
want to be friends with Cooper?

So we could just hook up.

Ugh, I don't know.

Is he just a douchey jock
that wears Abercrombie?

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

[Knocking]

- Ay!
- Shh!

- [Game playing indistinctly on TV]
- Hi.

Uh, hi.

Um... Nathan's in the shower...

No, uh, we had a question for you.

Why don't you ever say anything
in any of the meetings?

Um...

- you guys talk a lot?
- Fair.

- So, are you gay or what?
- You can't ask that.

COOPER: No, I'm...
I'm s... I'm straight.

You guys want to know why I go?

- No, that's okay.
- Yes.

Um...

my brother's trans.

I mean, he... he used to be my sister,

and my parents are kind of
[sighs] freaking out

and being major assholes to him...

I mean, them.

O-Or him. Uh, sorry.

I-I think he said, um, both are okay.

Um, so I wanted to, you know, learn

and figure out what I could do.

How come you never said before?

No one asked.

You guys want to ask me anything else?

I don't... I don't think so.

Um, well, later, I guess. [Chuckles]

- Okay.
- Oh, okay. Later.

- Bye.
- Bye.

[Screaming, laughing]

This is bad, I literally want
to f*ck him more than ever.

- Oh, my gosh.
- He obviously wants you.

DELILAH: He does not. Oh, does he?

I have to pee so bad.

But Abercrombie... ew.

- Do you think? Ugh!
- I can ask Nathan.

We're supposed to hook up
tonight anyway.

[Groaning]

Girl, stop.

You cannot get between us.

It just...

[Sighs] Whatever. It's fine.

Say it.

I'm sorry.

I think he's stringing you along.

What?

No. No. Okay?

I'm stringing him along.

f*ck.

Do I have to be mad about this?

What about that kiss?

It didn't seem very equal to me.

f*ck.

Sh-Show it. Show me the kiss.

Arianna, literally stop.

- This is like...
- Shut the f*ck up.


- Like p*rn.
- [Laughing]


- Ooh! Ooh!
- [Groans]

- Wow.
- Ohh! Ugh!


Oh, my God.

Tittysucker, you're right.

[Crickets chirping]

- I need to talk to Nathan.
- Yeah, he's in the shower.

[Game playing on TV]

[Water running, Nathan singing]

[Gasps]

Do you like Chester?

Um, can I finish showering?

ANNOUNCER: It's downfield.

Airs it out...

Wait.

Oh! Incomplete pass!

[Beep]

You were right. f*ck guys.

Oh! Ohhhh!

Awww.

You deserve better.

I once saw him jerk off to a girl

from a college admissions catalogue.

He's gross.

"Hi! I'm a man.

I take everything I want.

- I'm just a selfish..."
- Mm-hmm.

"...shitty, bitch boy-man."


"Hi. I'm... another man.

I just stick stuff in holes and...

and punch myself in the face."

[Grunting]

Me too, me too, me too.

[All grunting, shouting]

[Screaming]

- [Alarm ringing]
- [Yelling]

- Okay...
- Was that us?

Yeah. Put it out!

Put it out, put it out, put it out!

- We have to hide.
- Hide!

[Screaming]

NATHAN: I dare you to, uh, use your fake

to buy a bottle of wine from the lobby.

- Actually, yeah.
- Okay.

Yes, I love you, I love you, I love you!

[All cheering]

- It was nice knowing you, lady.
- Come with me.

NATHAN: Can I go again while we wait?

ARIANNA: Sure, Nathan. Sure.

- Chester.
- Mm?

If the world was ending
and you had to be stuck...

Have you been there a while?

No, no.

I just came down to tell you
it's time for bed.

Can I have one more minute?

[Chuckles] Yeah.

I bought a star once.

- So normie of you.
- It was for a friend.

I was going to his
birthday party one year,

and, um, I forgot to buy him a present.

And he could be such...

such a bitch about things like that.

So I snuck into the bathroom

and bought him a star online.

Turns out, he loved it.

He was the one who k*lled himself.

- Why?
- Whoever knows, right?

Why does... Why does anyone
do anything, right?

[Laughing] But he was...

he was a lot...

in the best way.

And it takes energy
to be a lot, and I...

well, think he ran out of energy.

- I get it now.
- Yeah.

And there's you telling me you're a lot

and sending me that picture
the first damn day of my job, saying...

- I'm sorry.
- ..."This is what lonely looks like."

- 'Cause I knew you'd understand.
- Yeah, I do understand.

I know you do.

Just... make sure
you let people in sometimes.

I have let someone in.

He's got gentle eyes.

"So I could picture a whole future."

Please tell me that wasn't you.

I didn't know if you knew.

You need to go to bed.

Wait. Wait!

It's... Uh...

Can... Can you stop for a second?

No.

What do you mean no? What?

That... That conversation proved it.

It was proof that
once you strip it all away,

all the bullshit, the society stuff,

we can be something.

It's not bullshit.

It is very real.

I could lose my job or... or worse.

- Do you realize that?
- No, that's not gonna happen.

- What world do you live in?
- We'll figure it out.

We have to. Because it was all there.

You know it.

You saw me on the inside.

And I saw you. I saw it all.

A whole future.

- Like you said.
- I never said that.

I need you to tell me
you know I never said that.

We think the same.

Frostys and death jokes.

You want to be me,

and you are all of these things
that I want to be.

A-And I see you.

I see you.

You have to know
how beautiful that is, right?

- I mean, you have to.
- You have...

You have to stop.

You don't know me, okay,

- and... and you... you just...
- No.

You... No, you just have to stop. Stop.

That's where you're so wrong,
because that weird,

shitty moment in the diner
with the MAGA freaks,

you... y-you just looked at me.

We didn't even have to say a word.

We have this whole
unspoken story together.

We have no unspoken story
except the one in your head,

and you can't even see how wrong it is.

Wait, wait, wait.

[Breathing heavily]

If the world was ending
and you had to pick one person

to be stuck on a desert island
with, who would you pick?

This isn't a f*cking game, Chester.

You're a high school student, and
I'm your guidance counselor.

Because I would pick you.

Go to your room,
or you will be suspended.

I would pick you.

And I know that you would pick me,

except you're afraid.

You're afraid because this...
this whole f*cked-up world

is made to keep people like us apart.

That's not what this is.

- You're a kid.
- No, I'm not.

- I'm... I'm not.
- Stop. No.

I... You don't have to be afraid!

Say it. Say it.

Say you would pick me.

Please.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

Look...

I would not pick you.
