Foy?

Twa Sur Zhee Hey!

[FLASH WHINES, CAMERA WHIRS]

Thar boh banh.

RILEY: What's that?

Zee yut rue.

Oh, you want to be disemboweled
through the throat?

Foy?

[SIGHS]

Zee yut rue!

- [DRAWER CLOSES]
- Sure.

- [DOOR OPENS]
- CAROL: Hi! Jesus.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

Hey. Watch the potty mouth, okay?

Especially in here.

Aren't you staying at a friend's?

I have first few periods free,

so I just came to get some stuff.

Well, someone's a bit
unfriendly, isn't she?

Foy?

That means it's concerned. [CHUCKLES]

- Well, I need to get to school.
- Oh, I know.

My mind used to work like that, too.

"I need to get to school.
I need to get married."

Just a prison of needs
and people needing you.

And what about I need
to be happy, you know?

To be curious.

Why are those lesser needs?

Uh...

Yeah, I don't know.

Did Dad talk to you about Reno?

[SIGHS]

Hey.

Do you want to, like,
sit down and hang out for sec?

Hey, we could... we could watercolor.

Mom, what do you think about Reno?

Well...

Truthfully?

[WHEELS SCRAPING]

You can have it, if you want.

You from here?

I just got here.

This is the first time I've
seen the ocean in real life.

Like, today?

Yeah.

It's funny. I thought it was
gonna be this profound thing.

But...

it actually looks better on TV.

[SEAGULLS CRYING]

[FLASH WHINES, CAMERA CLICKS]

[SIREN WAILING, HORN HONKING]

She's a beaut, huh?

Why is it a she?

I don't know.

'Cause she's kinda fun and sassy?

Oh, you like fun and sassy, huh?

Whooooo!

[MUSIC STOPS, BELL RINGS]

Thank you so much.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

[BELL TOLLING]

NAOMI: [DISTANTLY]
And it doesn't hurt at all?

DELILAH: No. But you have to ask
for laughing gas.

ARIANNA: I actually like oral pain.

You know, like, when
something stings in your mouth

- and it feels good.
- Ooh. Kinky.

[LAUGHTER] Yeah, when I got
mine out, yeah, it didn't hurt at all.

Hmm. Really? It doesn't hurt at all?

- Hey.
- No. They put you under.

Oh, hey. You okay?

I just went to the beach.

- For real?
- Yep.

NAOMI: My mom's freaking out
over this pre-party.

[CHEWING LOUDLY] I'm just
not looking forward to her losing it

- with Cooper being there.
- [ZIPPER RASPING]

ARIANNA: Bitch, yes you are.
Y'all both live for this drama.

Excuse me?
I love f*cking with my parents.

It's just...

Where's Chester?

GRETA: With Bo maybe?

I keep texting him.

Yeah, I never see him.

He's all in on Bo right now,

trying to make up
for the fake dating thing.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Yeah, um...

Yeah, my dad just stressed me out

late last night and I got jittery,

so I couldn't sleep,
so I was just like,

"f*ck it, I'm gonna take pictures."

Me and Ana waited for you this morning.

Ah. I'm sorry.

I should've told you I was
grabbing stuff from my house.

- Sorry.
- N-No. It's fine.

It's just... we were worried about you,

just 'cause, I don't know,
you seem a bit...

f*ck. I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

Thank you for worrying, though.

Is there any normal afterparties?

I cannot spend the night
at Chelsea Mariano's

with no booze
and Taylor Swift sing-alongs.

What about my house?

My... My dad and Janelle
are in Reno next week,

and my mom has started
doing these sad...

"sleepovers" for divorced people.

So, I just have to get her out.

Yes.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- You really want to?
- [SCOFFS] Why not?

NAOMI: Okay, guys, my dad's here.

Say goodbye to my wisdoms.

Don't let the dentist molest you
when you're under.

Unless he's hot!

Oh, my God, don't say that.

[TUBA BLOWING]

SAM: [DISTANTLY] Doesn't it
feel like we're in a bad cartoon

with that weird tuba soundtrack?

Sorry, what?

I said, doesn't it feel like
you're in a bad cartoon

with that weird tuba soundtrack?

Oh, yeah. [CHUCKLES LIGHTLY]

- Hi.
- Hi.

Where are you?

Oh, sorry, sorry. I just...

I didn't sleep a lot last night.

Why?

Oh, I'm doing a -hour photo project.

Oh, where you, uh...
you take a photo every hour?

Mm-hmm.

On a school night?

Well, I-I couldn't sleep,
so I was just like,

"Let me take advantage of my time."

Why couldn't you sleep?

Um, mind racing, you know?

You missed a test today.

Oh, sh**t.

Um, I'm sorry.

I'll... I'll see if I can do a make-up.

With all the missed
classes and tests and things,

I had to call your house.

Oh.

- And I spoke to your mom?
- Mm-hmm.

And she said that you
weren't staying at home a ton

because you were
sleeping over at Greta's.

Also, is she Carol or Ginnie?

Uh, it's a whole thing.

Anyway, in guidance
counselor school, they...

they teach you that
this is kind of your basic

[SIGHS] four-alarm red flag moment

and you better follow up,
so I... I did.

But when I called Greta's mom,
she referred me to Greta's aunt,

and she told me that it wasn't
just a couple sleepovers.

- Mm-hmm.
- It's more you're actually staying there.

Uh-huh.

Uh, wait, I should go
to math because, um,

I don't want to be missing more class,

and I think there's a review.

Yes. Yes. But...

I'm just putting this together,
you know,

and I'm thinking there...

[DISTANTLY] there's something
bigger going on here,

something that might not
exactly be my place to talk about,

but which also might be exactly
what I'm supposed to talk about.

Okay, hey, Sam?

I'm fine with you just signing the slip

and then leaving it at that, okay?

- [BELL RINGS]
- I-I-I-I want to go to math.

I don't want to miss more class.

Why would Ana tell Sam
I was staying there?

Wait, what?

Why would she do that?

Uh, I honestly don't know
what you're talking about.

Okay, you don't know how she...
she ratted me out to Sam?

Okay, I don't know why
you're coming for me right now.

I haven't talked to her
since this morning,

when it was really annoying

you didn't bother to tell
us to not wait for you.

So, whatever this is, I have no idea.

But I'm pretty sure she told you
you could only stay with her

if everybody knew, so...

Okay, well, she could've asked me, uh,

before she told everybody about it.

Especially after I literally told her

how much everything
sucks for me right now.

I-I told her all of that.

Sucks? Like, in what way, exactly?

In so many ways
that you don't know about.

Yeah, no, I mean, like what?

Stuff I don't want to tell you.

Okay, so, more than your mom

taking away your pool house
or whatever?

What the f*ck is wrong with you?

I just don't get it. I just don't.

Like, my aunt gets you a
job and she takes you in

out of the kindness of her heart,

and you get mad 'cause
she won't lie for you?

[SCOFFS] Now you're freaking out at me

about nothing at all again.

'Cause I think I was
pretty f*cking cool

about that whole Luz thing.

Oh, yeah?

Do you?

ANA: I told you the rules.
I'm not here to lie for anyone.

So, if you want to, go get emancipated

and pay rent and be my roommate.

Then you don't have
to tell anyone sh*t.

Can you not just say you're sorry?

Like, can you not just say that?

"Sorry everything's
so f*cked up right now.

It's okay for you to just be here.

I'm not gonna kick you out."

I'm not kicking you out.

You're leaving.

Mi amor.

I think you're taking your anger
out on the wrong person.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Thank you for having me.

NATHAN: Of course. Come right in.

- [STRAINING] Can you take this?
- Okay.

The best part about tonight

is that you get to stay in my room

because my mom is
secretly hoping we'll hook up.

So, uh, that'd be you sticking
your tongue in my ear

and cumming in three seconds?

Mm. Yeah, probably.

But it'd be perfect you
'cause there'd be zero emotion.

I'd do anything to have
zero emotion right now.

MEGAN: Oh, honey.

I spoke to your mom
about you staying here.

She told me everything.

Come here.

Mm. Mm.

Mm. Mm.

Mm.

Do you know where Chester is?

He's not responding to my texts.

- I don't know.
- [SIGHS]

I thought you guys were good.

Yeah, we're fine.

Okay.

That means not fine.

I don't know what to say.

I mean, like, he broke up with me,

but it was never real
in the first place,

so I can't really be upset.

So, yeah, it's fine.

I'm really sleep deprived,

so reality's kinda far
away right now, but...

...fake things can seem real.

Yeah, sometimes, I-I was just,
like, in it with him,

and I was like,
"Oh, this would be really nice,"

but... whatever.

Yeah. [INHALES DEEPLY]

Don't tell my mom.
She doesn't know yet,

and she would just be so
f*cking happy and mean about it.

I hate mothers.

- I hate them.
- [CHUCKLES]

I'm never gonna become one.

- Yeah, you'd be trash.
- [BOTH LAUGH]

NAOMI: [WHINING] Ohhh!

I don't have any f*cking teeth, Dad!

[LAUGHS]

They took out all my f*cking teeth!

Oh, you took me to the dentist
and he took out all my teeth,

mothersucker!

- Is it okay to say that?
- Not really, no.

Ugh, f*cking religion.
You can't say anything.

Jesus. Help me.

By the way, this is a reason
you should never do dr*gs.

Ugh. I like dr*gs!

- Mom likes dr*gs.
- No, she does not.

Yes, she does.

She has so many pill
bottles in her bathroom.

That's a different kind of drug.
Come on, come on.

There is a tsunami coming
and you need to pack right now.

You need to put everything
you want in this suitcase,

right now.

- [MUFFLED, WHINY] Tonight?
- Yes.

- But...
- Now.

Go, go, go!

Ohh! We gotta go!

Freakin' tsunami!

RILEY: Just... Just... Just stay calm.

But... but... but... but... but fast.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- You need to hurry a little bit.

- You need to hurry.
- Hurry, hurry, hurry.

I'm trying! There's a tsunami coming!

- You need that? Okay.
- I can't! [WHINING]

Also... Also...

Listen, the boat is only
big enough for four people,

and so Jordan has to drown,

and you have to choose one other person

to drown with him, okay?

Wait, why me?

Because you're the most decisive.

- Yeah.
- That's so true.

- I am the most decisive.
- You are.

- You really are.
- And... And...

And also, if you want
to choose me, it's okay.

I-I won't be upset.

Mm. I think so?

[GASPS]

No, I pick Natalia.

I pick Natalia.

You... You...

You... You want Natalia to...
to drown with Jordan?

I think so?

I mean, she was such a
f*cking c**t at her wedding,

so yeah, Natalia has to go.

Wait, can I pick one

or can I pick one more to drown?

[CRYING] I'll never, ever be
friends with Billie Eilish.

[SOBS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Wait, who are you?

It's Cooper.

You texted me to come.

Oh, did I sext you?

Did I send you outrageously
inappropriate images of my body?

No. No. Here. Here.

I got you a Teddy bear
and I got you some flowers.

This is so cute.

You know who would love this?

Delilah's baby.

You should go to the fire station

and leave this for Delilah's baby.

Naomi, what are you talking about?

We just had this whole thing
where we, like,

convinced here
that there was a tsunami.

No, you were there, Nathan.

Delilah had a baby
in the mall bathroom,

and I was there with her,
and I almost threw up, and only

'cause I had eaten a Hot Dog
on a Stick, but I didn't.

Wait, hold on.
Delilah's Panda Express Girl?


N-No.

Um...

Well, actually... Okay.

Ugh! f*ck! You just...
You can't tell anybody.

- Like... Like, you really can't.
- I won't say anything.

She would die if you knew.

I will not say anything, okay?

[PILLS RATTLE]

- Oh, my God.
- What are you doing?!

The pain. I need another.

Or... did I just have one?

[DISHES CLINKING, PAN SIZZLING]

MEGAN: [DISTANTLY] Riley?

[LOUDER] Riley?

You want to grab some silver?

Oh, sure.

Oh, hey, would you, um, put this out?

We're have a special oriental stir fry.

NAOMI: Dad! That is so r*cist!

No, it's not.
It's the name of the dish.

- Dad, Riley is part Asian.
- Yeah, eh, look.

It says "Oriental Stir Fry"
right here on Epicurious.

You're not offended by that, are you?

Dad! I'm so sorry.

He's an old person.

- I'm not old.
- MEGAN: Okay!

How about this?

- Would you rather...
- [UTENSIL CLATTERS]

...be the first person
to explore a planet

or be an inventor of a drug
that cures a deadly disease?

- Interesting.
- NATHAN: Why do we have to do this?

Because Pastor Jeb
suggested that, you know,

if we could enjoy
each other as a family

and have conversations,
you know, that...

I don't know,
it might help us stay whole

and communicating and together.

NAOMI: And not bisexual.

MEGAN: Alright, now.

Hey, there's booze in the pantry.

Oh, good.

- NAOMI: Can I read one?
- MEGAN: Okay.

NAOMI: Would you rather have
consistently satisfactory

but unexceptional sex
with the love of your life,

or multiple, profound orgasms
with a complete stranger?"

MEGAN: Okay. I'll be in charge
of the book from now...

- [NAOMI WHINES]
- No. Come on. Come on.

- Time for another question.
- Okay.

MEGAN: So, planet or drug?

MARK: I think I'd go with, uh,

inventing the drug
because it's more lucrative.

Mm.

If people need something
to live, you can make a k*lling.

Remember that, you guys.

Riley?

Naomi, you don't need
to fold the napkins

into itty-bitty squares.

- NAOMI: Dad! Ugh!
- [BOTH SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

You telling me how to fold
is so patriarchy-y.

Women have been folding
napkins for hundreds of years,

and what have the men been
doing besides, like, making w*r

and burning villages and bad breath?

I asked you to fold the
napkins because I'm cooking.

[CHUCKLES] The man is cooking.
Isn't that good?

- Isn't that not being the patriarchy?
- Mark, don't be so argumentative

while she's recuperating.

So, Riley, are you going to
Winter Formal with anyone?

NAOMI: I'm going with Cooper.
And Delilah.

So, how's that for the
patriarchy, Mister Man?

Well, this is actually
an amazing opportunity

to talk about relationships in general.

Because as you know, a
relationship is between two people,

- not three, not four...
- MARK: Can... Can we just stop?

- and not have this conversation day and night?
- Mark, can I please finish my point?

Mark! Can we not censor
each other? Please?

Did you guys talk to Patrick
and Joe about threesomes?

Thank you, Naomi.

I'm just saying, you guys are obsessed

- with your kids' sex lives...
- What?!

- ...when you're the ones with problems.
- Oh.

Yeah, you used to have sex
so loudly and it was so gross.

- Excuse me?
- But at least you were having it.

Honey, I think you're a little loopy.

Where are all the f*cking purple dots?!

- Excuse me! Language!
- Okay, and upstairs we go!

Fine! Good night!

- Goodnight, honey.
- I hope you all have sex tonight!

- Okay.
- And also, you know what?

- Go to bed.
- I hope you don't!

- Okay.
- Ugh.

Great. Riley?

Oh, um, I will probably just go
alone to the Winter Formal.

We all know who
Nathan's not going with.

MARK: Yeah, come on. Come on.

Who are you not going with?

N-N-Nobody.

Are you not going with...

He broke up with me, okay?

Oh.

Sweetie.

I am sorry.

I am so, so sorry.

No, you're not. You're literally not.

This is exactly what you wanted.

You're obviously happy about it.

Why would you say that?

Of course I'm not happy.
Seeing you hurt?

I would never be happy about that.

Why? You thought I was going to hell.

What, aren't you happy that I'm not?

What kind of mother do you think I am?

I don't know.
You can speak for yourself.

Okay.

You know what? I will.

- Great. Great.
- Thank you very much.

You know what's so wonderful
about being a mother?

Besides the fact
that you're never right.

You're always wrong.

Is that you're just invisible,

except when you're
choosing the wrong cereal

or you're not merrily
congratulating your son

on every wrong choice he makes.

- Then everybody sees you.
- Uh, I will be right back.

You're not gonna
answer my question, then?

You want the truth?

Yes. Please.

I think you just want to be
angry with me for no reason.

What are you talking about?!

- [BOTH SHOUTING]
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]

You haven't given me a
kind word or a kind look...

- Cruel? That's not...
- Yes. Yes, it is.

MARK: That's actually not fair.

What? Are you defending him?

[VOICES RECEDING,
RILEY HYPERVENTILATING]

[ARGUING INDISTINCTLY]

I do nothing but listen to him!

- You don't!
- That's not true!

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING,
OBJECTS CLATTERING]

[PANTING]

MEGAN: Riley?

Are you okay?

Um...

I don't know.

I don't know, actually.

When I talked to your mom,

she told me a little
about what's going on,

about your dad moving to Reno
with his girlfriend

and how he wants you to go with him.

Did she... Did she tell you that...

...it's because my dad
doesn't think my mom

is able to take care of me right now?

Yes.

It's not true.

She wants me to go with him.

She wants me to go.

Sometimes...

I have this feeling like
I'm looking at myself

from the outside in.

Do you ever have that feeling?

You know what it is?

Because everyone has anxiety.

You know?

But not everyone has it the same.

[SIGHS]

[INHALES SHARPLY]

How about this one?

Would you rather be
able to change the future

or the past, just by imagining it?
