Oh!

NICO: She's my ex. Things are done with us.
Whitetinos living their best life

NARRATOR: This is the Quaraouiyine Mosque in Fez
and it's still the heart of religious life here.
It was founded in 859 by a woman
both as a religious and an educational establishment.
Still the moors, huh?
Uh-huh.
[ TV playing ]
I'll worry about these, but you do still have
to worry about those until you tell me otherwise.
Nobody asked you to do those.
If I don't they'll just sit here for three more days
stinking up like you.
Do you think now would be a good time to start talking
about starting a chore wheel?
[ scoffs ]
Now you're going to school me about chores,
when for how many months this place has been spotless,
- no thanks to you? - Oh, good!
LYN: Our third roomie is here.
Maybe we can ask her opinion about a chore wheel.
Sorry, about a what?
Mari, don't listen to her.
This place is nasty.
All I ask is that each of us--
Oh, my God. Listen to you.
This is so funny.
If--If you want, I can do the dishes.
In fact, um, I-- it just takes me two minutes.
I can--I can do it right now.
Thank you, Mari.
I hope you're so embarrassed.
Mari, please leave it.
Tonight couldn't be more important for the bar.
We've sold tickets already.
We have actual people coming.
And I know you're not having a crisis.
You're just doing all of this to punish me,
- And that's just-- - Yes, Lyn.
As always, this is all about you.
[ TV playing ]
Hey, you okay?
Oh, yeah, um...
Mari, you don't have to do this.
I'll get up and take care of them.
No, it's okay.
Um, is it weird that I like doing the dishes?
It is kind of weird.
[ both laughing ]
[ watter running, dishes clatter ]

Thank you so much.
You can leave the power washer right here,
but it would be great if everything else
could be put inside.
Is that everything you needed?
- [ car door closing ] - Oh, my God.
So many thank yous.
We would never have been able to rent any
of this without you, so thank you
for the kind donation, councilman.
You're out there today in this little--
You trying to make me jealous in front of my guys?
Shut up.
This is me in work mode, all right?
Who do you think is actually gonna wash the paint
off the side of the building? La sad girl up there?
Nope. It's these guns.
Oh.
Well, you know I can get one of my guys to do it for you
so you don't have to. In fact, oye,Felipe--
No, no, no, hey, no, no, no.
Rudy, I wanna do this. Seriously.
I don't love this.
You're gonna be out here all wet T-shirt contest,
and I know this neighborhood. I know my people.
Well, what do you think is gonna happen?
I'm on my block.
It's not you I don't trust.

Okay, this is a new color on you.
No, look, I'm not doing the macho thing.

Not if you're out here in a public space.
Why are you recording me?

Yeah. It's coming right off.
Hey, we're having this concert tonight.
It's a Jarina De Marco concert.
Do you know her? You should come.
It's right here at Vida tonight.
We're trying this whole new thing.
It's gonna be amazing. Stop by.
Or not.
To sing, like, really melancholy shit.
How does it look?
Hey, this is some nice stuff you got a hold of.
Is it? Oh, good.
I thought it was, but I wasn't sure.
Hey, girl. Are you ready to man that bar?
I sure am, Miss Spring Break.
I'm all yours today.
I just turned in my dissertation, so...
Oh, man, congratulations.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
It's a monkey off my back.
That's so good.
I mean, my committee's still gonna make me do rewrites, so--
Hey, Nico, do you think you're gonna need more help--
I'm so sorry, M. I'm just--
I have a one-track mind today.
That's okay.
But, yeah, do you think you might need another
pair of hands behind the bar?
I mean, is Emma not coming to help out?
Emma who?
No, I got a zombie living up there.
We can't count on her.
Let me see who I can call to come help out.
ROCKY: Pero why, man?
Then when school lets out, what do I do?
Ay, I'm sure there's someone that can give you a quick ride.
[ vacuum whirring ]
Hey. Hey!
Your Subaru is parked down the street.
Walk over there and get it.
Rock, you know I don't wanna go back there.
Not until I--
Not until you go stick your nose where it doesn't belong
so you can go over to the sisters with a big,
"Ta-da. Guess what?"
It's not even like that.
Then why are you trying to stir shit up?
This is for me, Rocky. Okay?
This isn't for nobody else.
I just need to make sure that what your cousin said
is really true because if it is,
then that means that that man has been living here
this whole time.
Which means that Vida lied to me.
This whole time, she lied to me.
And she lied to them.
Come on. You can't be late to work.

Hey, why is the detergent out? Are we hitting the gallery?
No, we're coming after that Hernandez Cortez clan
from that Vida bar.
Did you see what Mikey got today?
Esas pinche sell-outs.
They took down a community mural and put up
an offensive-ass beer ad.
And now they're trying to have that chipster concert.
Pero fuck that. Uh-uh.
We're putting that coconut Becky on notice.
Wait, wait, Yoli, what about Brobeck and Dog Shit Pink Nipples?
I thought we were going after that fucker.

doesn't mean we're gonna forget about that fucker.
