It's hard for us to disappoint someone that we love.
- Are you sure you're not mad? - Bye, Ted.
Hey, you look great.
Going on a date?
Oh no, it's just a class.
Must be a pretty fun class.
I really like you.
I like you, too.
I can't... We can't. I'm sorry.
Brendan, in college,
every single minute of your existence
-is entirely up to you. -
- -You can come study with me. - -
You asshole! Get the fuck out of my room!
Mm. Oatmeal from a hot plate.
Nothing but the best for my friends.
I think I'm gonna go home this weekend.
- See my family. - That's good.
What was I thinking?
- He drank Muscle Milk. -
- I should've known. - This is not your fault.
I know.
Oh, my God. Are you kidding me?
- Hi. - Eve. Good to see you.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Just making a little pit stop.
- Sure. - Hey, sit down. Keep me company.
- Oh, no, that's okay. - No, no, no, come on.
You do something with your... your hair?
No.
Oh, whatever it is, it's... keep doing it, 'cause it's...
uh... it's working.
I, um... I ran into Bethany today,
she told me about the...
Yep, she told me.
Small world.
I didn't know that you guys were...
We weren't.
I... I guess we just got sloppy or something.
Mm. Well, she seems really happy about it, so...
Yeah, yeah.
It's definitely a curve ball.
And we just have a lot on our plate as it is.
I really didn't expect to have two kids
- at this point in my life. - Three kids.
You'll have three kids, Ted.
- You know what I mean. - No, I know what you mean.
So, I think I'm gonna eat this at home,
but it's nice to run into you.
- Congratulations. - Yeah, thanks.
I wish you could've come to see me earlier
- in the semester. - I did.
No, I mean when you first started running
into difficulty. I would've advised you
to drop Econ, and focus on your other courses.
Okay, but, like, what do I do now?
Well...
You could withdraw from the courses
that you're failing.
Or you can try to buckle down and complete your work.
Is that still in the realm of possibility?
Yeah.
I dunno.
I'm pretty far behind.
You should probably discuss it with your parents,
- and come up with a plan. - Okay.
I'm gonna do that. Thank you.
If it's any comfort to you, Brendan...
this happens a lot.
College is a big leap, and not everyone's ready.
Okay, thanks.
- Hi. - Hello.
I got divorced ten years ago.
It's better late than never though, right?
That'll be 12.50.
Now that's a bargain.
Hello?
Hi, are you busy tonight? I'm having a... well, a party.
- Oh, sounds like fun. What's... - EVE FLETCHER: Oh, good.
Would you mind inviting the class?
I don't have everybody's contact info.
What's the occasion?
Eve?
Are you there?
- -Hello? - -
Eve, what's...
- Slow down, jerk. - Fuck.
Hey, look, Chloe, I am right outside.
Uh, I don't know, will you just please talk to me?
Just... Please.
Brendan.
Yo.
Hey, uh, listen, man, Chloe wants you to leave.
She says you're creeping her out.
- Sh... You're in there with her. - Yeah.
You shouldn't be here, man, what are you...
I shouldn't be here, I... She won't answer my texts,
- or my calls. - Can you blame her for that?
I'm...
I'm trying to apologize.
And I don't really know how to do that.
Brendan... It's a little too late for that,
- okay? - Oh, come on.
- I didn't mean to like... - It doesn't matter.
No one cares what you meant.
Okay?
Wow.
This looks so great.
Yeah, you like it?
I mean I think we're good on balloons.
Well, I don't think you can ever really have enough balloons.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Oh, it does feel weird though, throwing a party for myself.
No, it's good, and you need to celebrate
'cause it's a big day.
Ooh. Ah...
- Wow, okay. - Oh, go, sit down. Relax, okay?
Okay, could you grab my pills for me on the counter?
- I'm sorry. Thank you. - Yeah, of course.
- Thanks, Amanda. - Yeah.
Oof, wow. Oh...
- Here. - This is embarrassing.
No, no, no, you're fine.
Oh.
- Thank you. - Yep, oh, God.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
Do you mind if I join you?
- Oh, are... are you in pain? - Yeah, sometimes.
Sure.
Thank you.
Thanks again for... I mean, this is...
It's so sweet, I really appreciate it.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Thank you for the invite.
I've not been to a party in a while.
- Really? - Yeah.
I need to make new friends.
That sad?
Well I'm... I'm really glad you came.
Yeah, me too.
And don't worry, I'm not gonna... Not gonna kiss you again.
Well, it's your party, so I think you can kiss
whoever you want.
I got it.
- I, oh... - No, no, no, no, I got it.
Thank you.
♪ Wish I knew what you were Looking for ♪
Yeah, it's just... I should've done this years ago.
Thanks, Jane.
- But... - What took you so long to do it?
Uh, I just felt like I was stuck with it, you know...
- Like it was just... - Right.
I know that feeling. It's hard to overcome.
Oof.
Does Brendan know?
I was gonna wait until he got home for Thanksgiving.
- Right? - I think.
Thought it'd be better in person. Oh...
- You want me? - Do you mind, Amanda? Thank you.
- Thank you. - Is Brendan your... is he your...
- Uh, it's my son. - Oh.
Yeah.

This way I'll be able to focus on my orgo tonight.
Hey... Good luck with your polymers.
See ya.
Gonna take a shower...
- Oh, fuck. - Oh, uh...
You okay?
I don't plan on...
Thank you for coming to this. Oh, it's so lame.
- No, it's not. - Yes, Jane.
- It's cute. - They're nice people, though.
So sweet, this is the whole class?
- Yeah, it's this. - The lot of 'em?
This is the lot of 'em.
So are you guys still gonna go on that trip then?
My God.
I didn't cancel it. So...
Guess it's... ocean view, here we come.
Hey, that's something.
- I don't know what I'm doing. - No, but it sounds... okay.
It's something.
Maybe I should take a class.
Yeah, I think you would love it.
- You don't have to do this. - It's really okay.
Everybody gets homesick. I've been home three times
this semester.
- - Miss my mom's cooking.
I know, it's just a long way to go.
I like driving at night.
But you're paying for gas.
Hey, why don't we try these?
Awesome.
- Yeah, and, oh... - Great party.
Thanks, guys.
- Hey. - Hey.
Um, I'm really... Really glad that you came.
Yeah.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Not really.
Yeah, me neither, but... I thought I saw one today.
- -Yeah? - - Yeah.
That's how I hurt my foot.
I thought I saw a friend of mine who had... died.
Tried to... walk closer, and then I fell, and I...
sprained my ankle.
And when I got up he was gone.
Wow. Were you scared?
No.
- Oh. - It was just...
a lot.
I can imagine.
Well...
You know, um... I... I... I took your advice.
There's this girl that I work with, and,
I just started talking with her.
- Okay. - Like the way I talk with you.
And... and... and you're right, it's really not that hard.
- See, I told you. - Yeah.
Yeah, you were right.
- Is she cute? - Yeah. Yeah.
She's not really my type.
But she's cute.
Hey, sorry to bother you.
No, please.
- I mean, we're just talking. - Oh, yeah...
You have your driver's license, right?
- -Yes. - Okay.
We're going on a liquor run.
Oh, that's okay, Amanda, we're good.
No, no, no, this party need tequila.
- Okay. - So, let's go.
We'll be back soon, come on.
Do you need any cash or anything?

No. Is that weird for you?

No, they're my friends.
