Sorry, I got started a bit early.
The potato's hungry today.

136
00:06:10,725 --> 00:06:12,977
because she refuses to give him a name.

137
00:06:12,977 --> 00:06:16,231

might I recommend Andrew?

138

‐ He's hot and funny!

139
00:06:19,359 --> 00:06:22,737
Did I say hot? I'm so sorry.
Um, it's the hormones.

beat us down the aisle.

In first grade, they had the cutest little
playground wedding.

your dress for the wedding

145
00:06:36,751 --> 00:06:37,877
so you guys can coordinate?

We just started dating.

00:06:39,587 --> 00:06:42,173
It's way too soon to talk about
Andrew coming with me.

It's too soon.

get to that movie.

Victor, this is Rahim.

00:07:02,151 --> 00:07:04,529
I'm not sure why he's wearing
an old‐timey bowling shirt.

155
00:07:04,529 --> 00:07:05,905
‐ Uh, my dad drove me here,

156
00:07:05,905 --> 00:07:08,491
so I had to get this polyester nightmare

157
00:07:08,491 --> 00:07:10,618
from my brother's closet.

a Blackpink shirt,

00:07:13,454 --> 00:07:15,331
but you can get away with
purple nail polish?

160
00:07:15,331 --> 00:07:19,752
‐ Uh, I told my parents the nails
are for drama club.

161
00:07:19,752 --> 00:07:22,964
They've been waiting for Creekwood's
production of Wicked for the past year.

162
00:07:22,964 --> 00:07:25,049
‐ You pretend that you're straight
by saying you're in a musical?

163
00:07:25,049 --> 00:07:27,010
‐ I already told you, I need advice.

164
00:07:27,010 --> 00:07:29,262
You know, from someone
who came out to their parents

165
00:07:29,262 --> 00:07:30,972
and had it go kind of okay.

166
00:07:31,973 --> 00:07:34,851
‐ Yeah, I'm not so sure
what Pilar has told you.
