But, my, my parents

And they only met twice
before their wedding.

299

345
00:18:40,204 --> 00:18:42,748
BENJI: Oh, hey, thanks for, uh,
coming over so last minute.

346
00:18:42,748 --> 00:18:44,875
‐ Of course. Of course.
‐ I appreciate it.

347
00:18:44,875 --> 00:18:46,001
‐ Yeah, man.

348
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:56,261
‐ Victor. What are you doing here?

349
00:18:56,261 --> 00:18:58,597
‐ Uh, I was making sure you're okay

350
00:18:58,597 --> 00:19:01,767
'cause you never showed up
at school today.

351
00:19:01,767 --> 00:19:04,394
‐ Right. Got it. Um... [sighs]

352
00:19:04,394 --> 00:19:06,104
Well, Hank was just leaving.

353
00:19:06,104 --> 00:19:08,857
Uh, Hank, this is my boyfriend, Victor.

354
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:12,361
Hank's my, uh... my sponsor.

355
00:19:12,361 --> 00:19:16,073
‐ It's nice to finally meet you, Victor.
‐ It's, uh, it's nice to meet you, too.

356
00:19:16,073 --> 00:19:17,741
‐ See you later?
‐ Yeah.

357
00:19:23,121 --> 00:19:24,831
‐ I didn't know you had a sponsor.

358
00:19:26,625 --> 00:19:28,293
‐ Well, I do. [exhales]

359
00:19:30,879 --> 00:19:33,382
You want to come in?
‐ Yeah.

360
00:19:37,302 --> 00:19:38,428
[sighs]

361
00:19:42,850 --> 00:19:44,560
‐ Oh, my God. No password?

362
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,854
Old people are so bad at cyber security.

363
00:19:46,854 --> 00:19:48,397
‐ Whatcha doin' here, Lake?

364
00:19:48,397 --> 00:19:51,483
‐ I am going to post an offensive tweet
to Harold's account.

365
00:19:51,483 --> 00:19:54,152
Something just bad enough
to get him lightly canceled.

366
00:19:54,152 --> 00:19:56,822
Now, does Harold strike you
as more of a flat‐Earther,

367
00:19:56,822 --> 00:19:59,825
or Holocaust‐denier?
‐ Uh, Lake,

368
00:19:59,825 --> 00:20:03,620
I have always found your crazy
kind of endearing.

369
00:20:03,620 --> 00:20:06,248
Right now, I'm just finding it
a bit unnerving.

370
00:20:10,586 --> 00:20:13,505
‐ I can't lose Mia, Andrew.

371
00:20:13,505 --> 00:20:16,049
It was bad enough that seeing Felix
in the lunch room today

372
00:20:16,049 --> 00:20:17,926
almost gave me a panic attack.

373
00:20:17,926 --> 00:20:20,596
A week ago we were happy and in love,

374
00:20:20,596 --> 00:20:23,599
and now I don't even know
how to say hi to him.

375
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:27,603
I can't lose the other most
important person in my life too.

376
00:20:27,603 --> 00:20:29,104
‐ I hear you.

377
00:20:29,104 --> 00:20:31,565
Okay? I really do.

378
00:20:36,403 --> 00:20:38,655
‐ No, just‐‐ give that back!
‐ No.

379
00:20:38,655 --> 00:20:41,742
‐ Andrew...
‐ I'm sorry. You're in a very
dark place right now.

380
00:20:41,742 --> 00:20:44,203
‐ What the hell is wrong with you?

381
00:20:44,203 --> 00:20:46,079
Do you even care that she's leaving?

382
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:47,456
‐ Of course I do.

383
00:20:47,456 --> 00:20:49,666
Okay, look, the girl I love is getting
ripped away from me.

384
00:20:49,666 --> 00:20:52,711
There is nothing I can do about it,
and it is killing me.

385
00:20:53,420 --> 00:20:54,922
‐ You love her?

386
00:20:57,090 --> 00:20:58,342
‐ You love me?

387
00:21:01,386 --> 00:21:02,721
‐ Of course I do.

388
00:21:04,598 --> 00:21:06,225
‐ I love you, too.

389
00:21:08,268 --> 00:21:10,062
‐ So why don't you fight for us?

390
00:21:15,108 --> 00:21:16,985
PILAR: Hi.
‐ Hey.

391
00:21:16,985 --> 00:21:19,321
‐ I got you a coffee.
‐ Oh, thanks.

392
00:21:22,449 --> 00:21:24,076
‐ How was seeing your mom?

393
00:21:25,536 --> 00:21:27,538
‐ It was okay. Yeah, um,

394
00:21:27,538 --> 00:21:29,957
they, uh, got her on new mood stabilizers.

395
00:21:29,957 --> 00:21:32,209
So, that seems to be helping.

396
00:21:32,209 --> 00:21:34,670
And she really likes her new therapist.

397
00:21:34,670 --> 00:21:37,089
‐ That's great. Right?

398
00:21:37,089 --> 00:21:40,008
‐ Yeah. Yeah, no, it's just, um...

399
00:21:41,468 --> 00:21:42,928
It's so sterile.

400
00:21:44,054 --> 00:21:46,139
White walls, white floor.

401
00:21:46,139 --> 00:21:48,433
And everything she loves is off limits.

402
00:21:48,433 --> 00:21:53,647
No Millionaire, no weird knick‐knacks...

403
00:21:53,647 --> 00:21:56,942
Swedish Fish...
Why is Swedish Fish contraband?

404
00:21:57,985 --> 00:22:01,280
It's like they're taking away
everything that makes her who she is.

405
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,366
‐ Felix, it sounds like
she's getting better.

406
00:22:04,366 --> 00:22:06,827
And your mom is fierce.

407
00:22:06,827 --> 00:22:10,956
It would take way more than an inhumane
Swedish Fish ban to dull her sparkle.

408
00:22:10,956 --> 00:22:14,293
‐ [chuckles]
She's getting discharged next week.

409
00:22:15,711 --> 00:22:19,965
Yeah. She's really put in the work
this time. I'm proud of her.

410
00:22:19,965 --> 00:22:23,677
You should be.
You should be proud of yourself, too.

411
00:22:23,677 --> 00:22:26,680
How strong you've been
through all this?

412
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,600
It's pretty inspiring. Or whatever.

413
00:22:34,271 --> 00:22:36,064
‐ You always know what to say.

414
00:22:36,064 --> 00:22:37,900
‐ I know. I'm really smart.

415
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:39,109
‐ No, seriously.

416
00:22:39,109 --> 00:22:41,612
I mean, you act like you don't care
about anything,

417
00:22:41,612 --> 00:22:44,239
but you might be one of the most
thoughtful people I've ever met.

418
00:22:52,831 --> 00:22:53,999
‐ Uh‐‐
‐ Pilar.

419
00:22:53,999 --> 00:22:56,543
‐ I'm sorry. I‐‐
‐ No. No, no, no. Don't be.

420
00:22:56,543 --> 00:22:58,212
I, uh, you know, our, our friendship

421
00:22:58,212 --> 00:23:00,214
means the world‐‐
‐ I have to go.

422
00:23:00,214 --> 00:23:01,548
‐ Pilar, wait.

423
00:23:08,764 --> 00:23:10,265
MIA:
Um, Dad?

424
00:23:13,769 --> 00:23:16,772
Can we, can we talk?
‐ Of course, baby.

425
00:23:16,772 --> 00:23:18,607
[keyboard keys clicking]

426
00:23:21,568 --> 00:23:22,945
‐ Mom emailed me.

427
00:23:25,948 --> 00:23:27,199
‐ When?

428
00:23:27,199 --> 00:23:30,118
‐ Mmm, a few days ago.

429
00:23:30,118 --> 00:23:32,579
Totally out of the blue.

430
00:23:32,579 --> 00:23:34,915
[groans]

431
00:23:34,915 --> 00:23:37,751
‐ [scoffs] What'd she say?

432
00:23:39,545 --> 00:23:43,382
‐ Not much. Hi. How are you?

433
00:23:43,382 --> 00:23:45,342
Something about how the last few years

434
00:23:45,342 --> 00:23:47,928
have been really complicated for her...

435
00:23:49,346 --> 00:23:52,015
And that she'd love to hear from me.

436
00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:56,228
‐ Wow. Um...

437
00:23:56,228 --> 00:23:58,230
Did you respond?

438
00:23:58,230 --> 00:23:59,606
‐ No.

439
00:23:59,606 --> 00:24:02,776
I think about answering her every morning.

440
00:24:02,776 --> 00:24:06,905
But I just can't bring myself
to write her back.

441
00:24:06,905 --> 00:24:10,200
Even though I have,
like, a million questions...
‐ Yeah.

442
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,452
‐ Because I feel like...

443
00:24:12,953 --> 00:24:17,708
writing her back
would be, like, a betrayal to you.

444
00:24:19,585 --> 00:24:21,837
You know. She left. You stayed.

445
00:24:23,755 --> 00:24:25,674
You're my family. Not her.

446
00:24:28,510 --> 00:24:30,012
I choose you.

447
00:24:35,267 --> 00:24:37,436
So how come you never choose me?

448
00:24:40,314 --> 00:24:42,649
My whole life,
you've put your work first.

449
00:24:43,275 --> 00:24:46,361
Which I understand. Um...

450
00:24:47,988 --> 00:24:49,781
Because I know how much
it means to you,

451
00:24:49,781 --> 00:24:51,700
and I don't want to hold you back.

452
00:24:53,243 --> 00:24:55,954
[sighs] I never ask you for anything.

453
00:24:56,997 --> 00:25:01,585
But this is me asking now...

454
00:25:01,585 --> 00:25:04,171
This is me saying...

455
00:25:04,171 --> 00:25:06,548
just please, don't move us.

456
00:25:06,548 --> 00:25:08,759
Okay? Just this once...

457
00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:10,135
choose me.

458
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,476
‐ Um...

459
00:25:17,476 --> 00:25:22,105
I'll, uh... tell Stanford

460
00:25:22,105 --> 00:25:26,568
that my family is happy
right here in Atlanta.

461
00:25:29,696 --> 00:25:30,906
‐ Really?

462
00:25:31,740 --> 00:25:33,116
‐ Yeah.

463
00:25:36,537 --> 00:25:38,121
[chuckles]

464
00:25:40,541 --> 00:25:43,043
‐ Thank you.
‐ Of course, baby.

465
00:25:43,752 --> 00:25:45,254
[groans]

466
00:25:51,677 --> 00:25:53,428
Hey, Mia. Um...

467
00:25:54,847 --> 00:25:58,183
You know, you should answer
your mom, if you want.

468
00:26:06,275 --> 00:26:08,110
[sighs]

469
00:26:37,639 --> 00:26:40,517
‐ Isabel. Did we have an appointment?

470
00:26:40,517 --> 00:26:42,811
‐ No, we did not.

471
00:26:46,857 --> 00:26:48,692
You told Adrian that Victor,

472
00:26:48,692 --> 00:26:52,905
who he loves more than anyone
in the whole world,

473
00:26:52,905 --> 00:26:54,656
is going to Hell?

474
00:26:55,574 --> 00:26:59,203
‐ I did not use those exact words.

475
00:26:59,203 --> 00:27:03,207
I was just trying to explain that Victor
needs his family's help

476
00:27:03,207 --> 00:27:06,460
to find his way back to Jesus‐‐
‐ What Victor needs

477
00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:09,338
is for his family to love and accept him
for who he is.

478
00:27:09,338 --> 00:27:12,508
‐ Isabel, you and I both know
it is not that simple.

479
00:27:12,508 --> 00:27:14,885
‐ Actually, I think it is.

480
00:27:14,885 --> 00:27:18,680
Today, I saw Adrian accept his
brother without a second thought.

481
00:27:20,849 --> 00:27:22,976
I have been raised to believe

482
00:27:22,976 --> 00:27:26,021
a lot of ugly things, Father.

483
00:27:26,021 --> 00:27:29,024
Things that will probably take me
the rest of my life to unlearn.

484
00:27:29,024 --> 00:27:30,776
But I will unlearn them.

485
00:27:30,776 --> 00:27:33,570
And I won't pass them on to my kids.

486
00:27:33,570 --> 00:27:35,489
And no matter what you or the church say,

487
00:27:35,489 --> 00:27:39,243
I know in my heart that God
loves my son.

488
00:27:39,243 --> 00:27:44,957
My beautiful, perfect, gay son.

489
00:27:48,085 --> 00:27:51,129
You're gonna have to find a new
music director, Father.

490
00:27:51,129 --> 00:27:52,464
[keys clatter]

491
00:27:52,464 --> 00:27:56,260
‐ Isabel, I urge you
not to give up on God.

492
00:27:57,010 --> 00:28:00,180
‐ I'm not giving up on God.

493
00:28:00,180 --> 00:28:02,140
I'm giving up on you.

494
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,815
‐ Dr. Gallico. Yeah, Harold Brooks, here.

495
00:28:10,774 --> 00:28:13,610
I have.
I, I have given it a lot of thought.

496
00:28:13,610 --> 00:28:16,989
And I, I really appreciate the
opportunity, I do...

497
00:28:16,989 --> 00:28:18,782
And, uh...

498
00:28:23,704 --> 00:28:25,747
I can't wait to get to work.

499
00:28:25,747 --> 00:28:29,501
[laughs] Right...

500
00:28:29,501 --> 00:28:31,545
Yeah, California, here we come.

501
00:28:34,339 --> 00:28:35,382
Sure.

502
00:28:35,757 --> 00:28:39,011
[water running]
‐ Uh, your sponsor's kind of cute.

503
00:28:39,469 --> 00:28:43,724
I always expected sponsors to just be
these big, old, grizzly men,

504
00:28:43,724 --> 00:28:45,309
filled with wisdom.

505
00:28:46,935 --> 00:28:48,353
‐ He's straight.

506
00:28:48,353 --> 00:28:49,855
In case you were wondering.

507
00:28:49,855 --> 00:28:51,899
‐ I wasn't. I, I trust you.

508
00:28:55,819 --> 00:28:58,363
You can't just fall off
the face of the Earth.

509
00:28:58,363 --> 00:29:01,325
I was really worried today.

510
00:29:01,325 --> 00:29:02,868
[sighs]

511
00:29:02,868 --> 00:29:06,955
‐ This is exactly why I didn't want
to tell you I was in AA.

512
00:29:06,955 --> 00:29:08,832
‐ What do you mean?

513
00:29:08,832 --> 00:29:10,918
‐ Well, now every time we have a fight

514
00:29:10,918 --> 00:29:13,921
or I don't respond to a text,

515
00:29:13,921 --> 00:29:16,381
you're gonna think I'm off
getting hammered.

516
00:29:16,381 --> 00:29:19,468
‐ Well, I was right to worry,
wasn't I?

517
00:29:19,468 --> 00:29:21,553
I mean, you had to call your sponsor.

518
00:29:21,553 --> 00:29:23,514

520
00:29:33,232 --> 00:29:34,691
What's going on with us?

521
00:29:37,444 --> 00:29:38,612
‐ I don't know.

522
00:29:40,531 --> 00:29:44,576
‐ Everything was amazing,

523
00:29:44,576 --> 00:29:47,120
and now it feels like all we do is fight.

524
00:29:49,081 --> 00:29:50,082
‐ Yeah.

525
00:29:52,835 --> 00:29:57,506
‐ I've been thinking a lot about this
perfect day, from last summer.

526
00:29:58,757 --> 00:30:01,844
We had that picnic at Kennedy Park,

527
00:30:01,844 --> 00:30:05,472
and then after, we chased
the Mister Softee truck for 15 blocks

528
00:30:05,472 --> 00:30:07,391
so we could get soft serve.

529
00:30:08,642 --> 00:30:12,312
And the park was packed
but it felt like we were the...

530
00:30:12,312 --> 00:30:14,314
only two people in the world.

531
00:30:18,861 --> 00:30:20,404

537
00:30:49,725 --> 00:30:54,855
‐ Oh, I just‐‐
I needed someone to talk to.

538
00:30:54,855 --> 00:30:56,815
So I told him that we had a fight.

539
00:30:58,233 --> 00:31:01,028
‐ Did you tell him about my drinking?

540
00:31:04,406 --> 00:31:08,035
[sighs] Jesus, Victor.

541
00:31:08,035 --> 00:31:09,995
‐ I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I know I shouldn't have told him.

542
00:31:09,995 --> 00:31:11,997
But he's not gonna say anything to anyone.

543
00:31:11,997 --> 00:31:14,249
Okay? I can trust him‐‐
