[BLAIR] ...what was weird is the storage unit.
Besides adults have storage units.
They store things,
like beach chairs.
And maybe she was getting out those stacks of cash for the gardener.
And the gun.
Yeah!
Hey, next time I get stuck in a loop like that,
you have my full permission to slap me.
Sterling.
- Sterling! - Slap you. Got it.
[SPEAKS SPANISH] Señorita Carolina?
[CLEARS THROAT] Señorita Carolina.
Since you're in such a talkative mood, come up and help me with this exercise.
Sorry.
Students, in preparation for your upcoming oral exam,
let's work on your conversational Spanish.
Who'd like to converse with Carolina?
[PERSON CLEARS THROAT]
Carlos, come chat with your girlfriend.
Señora O'Reilly,
we...
my and Carolina...
we to break.
We broke.
Uh...
We... no more love.
Now... not together.
Oh no! What happened?
[GASPS]
Maybe it was his difficult mother
and her obsession with protecting the family's sapphire business.
What?
Keep going. I'm noodling on an idea for a telenovela.
Hello, Carlos. You look nice today.
How was your evening?
Hi, Carolina.
I had in a good day... Night.
To...
I played guitar with my friends.
Uh... Music.
I am work. Worked?
Working.
I am working on a new song.
Uh... That's great.
I hope I can hear your song.
What is it called?
The song name is "Cozy Couch of You."
[CHUCKLING]
What happened in your night?
Uh...
Chloe has worms.
The pretty girl has many, many worms.
- [GROANING] - I'm sorry.
It's okay.
That flow state is where the real learning happens.
These skills will elevate you from basic
to telenovela.
Please take one and pass along.
Hi. I didn't know you were right in front of me.
All year.
It's my assigned seat.
I'll help her.
That dummy and her clumsy claw hands.
Ooh, don't worry.
I have gym next period.
I'll break into her locker and spit on her mouth guard.
[CHUCKLES]
[THEME MUSIC]
[VOCALIZING]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
Hey.
Hi. Sorry about the paper skurfuffle back there.
Whatever.
Paper.
Paper happens.
Yeah, to the blight of most rainforests.
Hey, we should talk. Don't you think?
- About what? - About us and what happened.
Something happened?
You thought that was nothing?
No.
[SIGHS]
Um... I'll come over after school today?
My mom went for a visitation with my dad this morning,
so she'll be going from pickling vegetables
to screaming at the wedding album for the rest of the day.
How is your dad?
Do you really care?
No. I mean, not about your dad.
I barely know the man.
I was more asking about how it was affecting you.
Like, do you talk to him?
I don't accept his calls
and I use his letters to line Sergeant Bilko's litter box.
Okay. Well, we can't do it at my house
because Blair's wonder twin powers
have been activated and are on high alert.
So we need to be on neutral, undetectable ground.
What about the Fun Zone?
Just two kids out for an Icee and a game of Dance Dance Revolution.
- I would never. - Street Fighter II?
Skee-ball?
I suppose the clacking of wooden balls
is somewhat satisfying.
Okay. See you there.
[PEOPLE SHOUTING]
Okay, guard the crease! Protect the crease!
Yes, guard the crease, sweetheart!
You don't even know what the crease is.
Of course I do. It's the circle around the goal.
Yeah, yeah. See? I'm not so sports illiterate, huh? [CHUCKLES]
Hey y'all!
Oh, my goodness. Hey! [CHUCKLES]
What are y'all doing here?
We're just watching the golf tryouts.
Gotta, you know, keep our eye on the stats
for when Luke snaps out of it and gets back on the team.
Well, we don't even know if he wants to play anymore so, you know...
Well, have you asked him?
No, have you? Hmm.
- It's good to see you, Bud. - Yeah, Anderson, it is.
Yeah, we've really missed y'all. [CHUCKLES]
They're always so great together,
- aren't they, hon? - Mm-hm.
Yeah. What's your antidepressant? Maybe I should switch.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
No. No magic pill here,
just good old-fashioned communication.
- Right, honey? - Yeah.
Well, we would love to have y'all over for dinner soon.
I really miss our double dates.
Oh, we'd love to.
How about tomorrow night?
Sure. Like, in between...
- [CLEARS THROAT] I'm not finished... - Good. That's great.
[BEEPING]
Maybe it's for our college fund
and she mistrusts banks?
Hey!
You said you'd wait for me so we could eat together.
Yeah, well, you're a little unreliable.
See, if I waited on you to eat
or stop talking about your mom,
I'd probably starve. To death.
- [BEEPING] - [SCOFFS]
Be more nice.
Be more reliable. Focus on us.
You're right.
My metalworks teacher has someone coming from MODA tomorrow,
I guess they have some kind of ongoing installation at the Museum,
and Mr. Philpott thinks my sculpture has a shot at it.
Hey, that's all kinds of amazing!
Mm-hm.
- What shirt are you wearing? - Oh, this one.
Is it new?
No.
Okay, well, I don't think I've ever seen it before.
I can't imagine what it feels like or smells like.
Yeah, well, you'd know if you weren't so damn busy.
You've worked every night this week.
That yogurt gig is seriously sidelinin' my game.
I promise that I will make it up to you tomorrow night.
It's going to be so great.
Probably the greatest date of all time,
if I had to guess.
Just promise you won't flake.
I swear on Sterling's grave.
But she's still alive.
Yeah, but she's, like, the purest person that I know,
so it holds a lot of weight even in the abstract.
I gotta go.
Hey, wear that shirt tomorrow
and don't wash it before, so it has double your smell.
All right, well, it works for me.
Bye, Blair Bear.
Bye, Miles Miles.

Blair thinks I'm helping Josie Wentz with her anatomy homework.
Which I did, for ten painful minutes.
She writes her letters from the bottom up.
She also crosses her sevens like an "F".
That girl will be lucky to get into Alabama.
I don't think we should even joke about something like that.
I meant, though...
did you tell anyone... about us?
That we're..
Gay?
We are?
I am.
How do you know, um, like, for sure?
In second grade, Adele Meisner told me she was moving to Arizona.
I ugly cried and swore that I was
going to run away from home and track her down.
Then her mom called my mom
because Adele felt...
threatened.
I was pretty intense back then.
Yeah, I mean, you're super chill now, so...
I...
But I get it. You were sad your friend was leaving.
There have been a lot of Adeles over the years.
I crush hard on girls...
and only girls.
It's a fait accompli.
Have you ever acted on it before us?
You're the first.
And, in case you're wondering,
no, I do not believe that God is going to smite me for being a lesbian.
He made me, along with narwhals and those tiny blue poison frogs,
so clearly he has a master plan.
I don't think I'm ready to fully label myself one way or another.
I like girls and I like boys, too,
but I don't like-like anybody right now...

When I think about you, which is, like...
all the time, I get dizzy and my maxilla goes numb. [CHUCKLES]

This doesn't change who we are at school.
We can't let on that we're anything but sworn enemies.
- [I NEVER HATED ANYONE MORE. - CHUCKLES]
Mm. And you can't tell Blair.
She's my sister.
You know how word spreads.
If one person knows, everyone knows.
This has to be kept a secret.
Unless... you don't want to do this anymore.
I do, very much.
Good.
Me, too.
[BLAIR] How could you keep this from me?
When did you first taste this flavor profile?
Um, like, a week ago.
Last week?
We implemented a 24-hour turnaround rule
on sharing information for a reason, Sterl.
I thought that was just for, like, major events.
If the discovery of a new and delicious topping combination
isn't a major event,
- then I don't know what is. - You're right, I'm sorry.
Once again, I wade through the mind-numbing, teen-themed vortex.
Yogurt toppings aren't teen-themed.
Yeah, they are all ages.
I wade through the all-ages vortex
to bring your attention to our skip.
Oh.
Adam Johanneson. Also known as "Fren-Z."
Oh, yeah.
I know him. He's the dude who's ripped off,
like, every major song hook for the past decade.
Yeah, well, this Vanilla Ice
is also guilty of trafficking heavy loads of drugs.
Got Yolanda out 150K.
Aw. Your eyes turn into little hearts when you say her name.
- Please, stop it. - Yeah, Bowsy.
You and Yolanda's name should get a room.
- Uh-uh. That's not why she left. - Now that's Michelle's gone, you could...
I made a decision for myself
to close that chapter of my life.
You pruned the roses so that new blooms could grow.
No.
Y'all are trippin'.
Yolanda and I are just keeping things professional,
and this is the most professional it's ever been.
She's never thrown me a big case like this before.
We've got a good track record going right now.
Okay?
Let's try not to screw it up.
You hear me?
All right.
This guy's job says...
"EDM DJ"?
All those letters supposed to mean something?
Yeah, you know, EDM.
You know, like:
♪ Everybody whoo ♪
♪ Whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo ♪
♪ Bed squeak, bed squeak, bed squeak Horn! ♪
♪ Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa ♪
♪ Call nine-one-one! ♪
That didn't help.
Yeah, EDM, it stands for Electronic Dance "Music,"
although I don't know if it can actually be considered music,
seeing as it's just pressing buttons, uh...
I'm genuinely asking.
Huh.
God, you're deep.
I don't say this enough.
I am so grateful to have you in my life.
Oh.
A person who makes me ponder and grow.
Oh, Blair, I'm so grateful for you, too!
- Hey, you know what I'd be grateful for? - Yolanda?
Someone to sweep up this mess of jimmies on the floor here
while I figure out how we gonna catch this ripoff artist.
See that there?
That's a broom.
Wow.
- Winner, winner, chicken dinner. - I didn't...
- Clean up the jimmies. - I didn't do that.
Oh, my gosh, look at that.
You're so much closer to the broom.
Thanks, Sterl. You're the best.

- Blair. - Yes.
Please agree to be my partner before Brenda with the not-so-great breath

Ooh.
Okay, I will totally save you from that.
Hey, I just partnered with Luke
because of Brenda and her bad breath.

- Hmm. Pinning that for later. - Whatever.
Our first lock-in meeting is today after school.
You know, if I don't show up
they're gonna assign me some lame job like vomit patrol.
- Ew. - [CELL PHONE BLEEPS AND DINGS]
- [SIGHS] - Oh.
"Be there or be dead."
Oh, no, he's learned how to use emojis just to threaten us.
That's serious.
We should be serious, too.
A job worth doing is a job worth doing well.
Ooh, Bible?
- Instagram. - Oh.
Grand Forces...
Hey, that's right by the O'Quigleys' on Peachtree.
I'll make my date there with Miles
so I can be with Bowser before, from 4:00 to 6:00.
And then you can come cover
when you're done with your lock-in meeting.
No vomit patrol.
Yes, great!
You know, we are really nailing this work-life balance.
- Mm. - Why do women complain so much?
It's super easy to have it all.
We might not know everything there is to know just yet.
We've got to be close.
The woman at Target did call me "ma'am" yesterday.
[GASPS] I'm telling you!
[BOWSER] That's far too much liquid consumption while on the job.
- [ROCK MUSIC PLAYING] - I'm fine.
We've been here a while.

Who's the VIP?

I'm letting it go. Letting it go.
You wore the shirt.
- [CHUCKLES] - Oh.
- It's nubbier than I'd imagined. - Yeah?
Yeah.
I am so happy to be out of the house.
- Really? - Yes!
My mom, when she is stressed, we are all stressed.
See, she has this fundraiser thing going on at the house tonight,
so we've been tiptoeing around.
We're not allowed to sit on the furniture,
for fear we might mess up the pillows.
[CHUCKLES]
She was wiping down my footsteps right out the front door.
Oh, my God. My mom is exactly the same.
It's, like, God forbid
people actually look like they live in the house
when company's coming over.
It's, like, our family is so tidy
- we don't even leave butt-impressions. - [CHUCKLES]
But when you think about it, butt-impressions are kinda nasty, though.
Yeah, especially when they're warm?
And then you sit on them.
Ew. Do you think someone left a butt-impression here before?
I don't know, but I'm about to.
Scoot over.
[GRUNTS] Scooch.
Yes, come over here and give me your butt-impression.
That's gross.
- All right, are you hungry? - Always.
Cheers, y'all. We made it.

Oh, y'all, it has been so strange not seeing Luke around the house.
Tell us, how's he doing?
He's gone full fruit and nuts on us.
- He carries around a guitar all day. - [DEBBIE] Oh.
He's wearing a ring on his thumb,
like he's the damn Governor of California.
Please don't shame our son for his creative expression.
Boys have feelings, too.
So do men.
Hm. Impossible to tell.
Well, I think it's just wonderful that he's picked up a new hobby.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Well, how about Sterling?
Oh, she's pretty good.
I mean, the girls are so busy with school
and their new job that we barely see them.
Bet you're taking advantage of all that alone time.
Mm-hm.
Well, you know, we do our best. [CHUCKLES]
[LYNN CHUCKLES]
Debbie, these glasses are gorgeous.
Thank you. Um, just William Sonoma.
- Hm. - Oh, Lord.
We don't need any more glasses.
Do you have any idea how many glasses we have in our cabinet?
We've had glasses from our wedding
that have probably never touched a person's lips.
Yeah.
I wasn't implying that I wanted new glasses,
I was just giving a compliment.
See, that's when you say something nice to someone.
Anyone?
That's new.
You know, I don't think I've ever heard about your wedding.
I'm sure it was gorgeous, knowing your taste, Lynn.
Too bad I didn't get to plan it.
[FORCED CHUCKLE] No, that honor was literally wrestled away from me
by my dearest mother-in-law.
[ANDERSON] Literally wrestled?
[SNICKERS] I've got to hear that story.
Well, my mama is the epitome of decorum.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, nothing says decorum like SPAM served at a reception.
- It was corned beef hash. - It was pig slop.
Yeah, you know what they say about mothers-in-law, right?
"Better a knife in the back,
so at least you don't have to see them when you die."
Mother's not that bad.
- Didn't say she was. - You implied it.
Maybe I did.
All right, uhhhh...
Uhhhh...
Or maybe... maybe I should get the loaded grilled cheese?
- What do you think? - Tomatoes, bacon and three cheeses?
That's all you.
Bring it all.
Chips and salsa, the grilled cheese,
the jalapeño poppers, and the swiss mushroom burger
with extra fries and a side of ranch.
Thank you so much, Elizabeth.
That is a ton of food.
No. Okay, a little bit, but we'll have a smorgasbord.
- A smorgasbord? - Yep.
I don't... I've never heard anyone say that in real life.
It's Swedish for “food-in-mouth adventure.”
- O... Okay. - [FORCED CHUCKLE]
Oh, my God, you know what I just realized?
I forgot to tell her how I like my burger cooked.
- I'll find her. - Oh, no, no.
You know what I've got to go talk to the chef directly.
I don't trust words to describe my preferred meat temperature.
It's weird. I have reference photos.
Be right back.

We've been open now about 26 years.
[BOWSER] Yeah, you can almost smell the talent.
- Uh, that's definitely weed. - [BOWSER CHUCKLES]

Is there another entrance besides this one?

Uh, let me sign for this and I'll come back.
This is the kitchen, bananas, you know, yeah.
Thank you.
Mm. Peanut M&Ms.
Hey, put those back.
Probably charge you four times
what you can get them for down at the Publix.
We're not actually renting space here.
Pretty sure these are free as a bird.
No. I'll get my own...
I'm not the one lighting money on fire,
letting the studio go unused. Z?
We talked about this. You may not use those words with me.
- Hmm. - Oh, my God, Bowser.
- What? - She is so into you.
You need to go flirt it up. Get in there.
No, stop it. You are seeing things, child.
Um, no, I am not.
Look, you're the one who told us that we needed to go undercover.
I've obviously killed it.
Now it's your turn to be Foxy Brown.
What?
I guess you would be more of a Fox-o Brown because you're a man.
Please stop. Don't ever do that...
- [WOMAN] Ready for the rest of the tour? - Oh, we are, but first,
I'm sorry, could I hit the ladies'?
Are you serious?
Yeah, I really overdid it with the liquids.
- Plus, you could... - Mm.
- [CHUCKLES] Yeah. - Follow me.

You're just trapped in a lie, that's all.

I refill that fancy bottle with soap from the dollar store.
Oh, life hacks!
Great, you know you should see Vernon wash his hands.
It looks like Dexter right after a kill.
He nearly scrubs them raw.
She's always telling me about the importance of building up antibodies.
- [CHUCKLES] - [DEBBIE] Well...
Just wish you would have told me where you wanted to go.
Honey! I hinted at Italy.
Please. I didn't want to be rude.
You know, we went out of the country.
- [VERNON] Mm-hm. - It was...
Overrated.
- Yeah, it was. - Mm-hm.
The food in Paris was...
The baguettes, hard cheese...
- like your tray out there. Different. - [LYNN] So much cheese.
It was just [MOCK RETCH] You know?
All right, y'all. Stop. Stop.
I'm sorry. We're...
We're fine.
We're just having a... a little...
[SINGS] A little nothing.
No, it's not nothing.
It's not.
Be honest.
- Stop. - No, no, no, no, no, come on.
You were honest about your dirty little dollar store soap secret.
Be honest. Huh, why stop there? Go on.
Stop it. It's not funny.
Deborah. They say that honesty is the key to all...
Hey.
It's getting late and, um...
Luke is afraid of the dark.
[LYNN] You know, I think I left the iron on.
We've got to go. We need to go.
It's dangerous.
- Thank you. - Thank you for the...
Hey, where were we?
No. No, where were you?
I texted you, I called you.
It took that long to explain "well done"?
Well, if you must know...
Oh, you're back.
Yeah, I'm back. [CHUCKLES]
You were gone for so long,
I was worried for Mr. Handsome here that you bolted.
Well, I didn't.
You two need anything else?
Uh, no, I think we're good.
Uh, one extreme brownie sundae, please.
We have to get a sundae,
or wait, are you more of a dark cherry chocolate cheesecake type of guy?
I could do either one.
Elizabeth, did I tell you that it's his birthday?
- [GASPS] - Yeah. Could you gather everyone up?
I wanted to have a real to-do.
One to-do, comin' up.
Why did you tell her that?
To give you something special.
Strangers singing to me on my fake birthday?
That's not special, Blair.
Oh.
I'm flubbing this way worse than our first date.
Maybe I'm bad at dates.
Maybe we should only go on excursions from now on.
- Or galavants, or trips to Hawaii. - [TABLE VIBRATING]
- What, is that you? - Oh.
- Restless leg syndrome. - [CELL PHONE DINGING]
Are those from your yogurt boss?
Are you're supposed to be at work?
What? No.
No, it's all good.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
I mean, because you're all over the place.
It's not new, but today you're especially pinball-like.
Mm-mm.
- I should cool it on the Cokes. [SIGHS] - [CELL PHONE DINGS]
God.
All right. Okay, go.
No, it's obviously important, just...
They're just having an issue with the fudge pump at the store.
And I'm the only one who can speak to Cathy
in her native language,
which is speaking in low undertones that she can hear.
- Right. - So, uh...
just give me two minutes, okay?
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[CELL PHONE BUZZES]
Hey.
Hi, I'm sorry, I have to go. Blair's already so pissed at me.
- Convince me. - What?
Convince me we can do this.
You take the affirmative. I'll take the negative.
You want to debate this?
Okay. Do you have a stopwatch or should I just self-time?
Just start.
Okay.
You're worried about what people will think,
but there's a lot of people who love us unconditionally.
With a post condition that we follow their rules for love.
Our parents will understand.
My parents are hateful bigots.
Ellen. Ellen can guide us.
Sweet pushover Ellen is going to take on the parents
of the private school elite who pay her bills?
There are more people living out in our country than ever before.
And yet I still hear the word "fag" around school, like, five times a day.
My sister will be supportive.
Your sister hates me.
Blair doesn't hate, she questions things she doesn't understand.
And I'm sure there's going to be a lot of questions
and maybe some...
irritation... [SIGHS]
...but you ignited something in me that I don't want to shut down,
and you say that you're not brave, but you kissed me back.
That was brave.
You could have just walked away.
You've already taken one leap,
let's keep going, together.
Oh, oh, boy. Well, well,
there's my little disappearing-reappearing shootin' star.
- Hey, Charlie, this is Blackheart. - Hi.
I've just been hearing about your massive plans.
Setting out to outsell Tay Sway?
Ambitious.
Mm-hm.
Yeah. Well...
ambitious is kind of my middle name.
Black "Ambitious" Heart.
You inspired this handsome man to break out of the hair metal genre,
which I have never heard described
with such raw, sexual passion.
I nearly got my lighter out and waved it in the air.
Well, we all have a first love, baby.
- Don't tease me. - Mm.
[CHUCKLES]
I have some amazing producers I'd love to hook you up with.
Matchmaking talent is my specialty.
It would help, though, if I could have a listen.
Have a listen to...?
You, my dear.
I have some people in mind.
Why don't we go into the studio right now?
- There's not a reason I can think of. - Here we go, then.
Check it again.
Um...
Check... check one, check... two.
I don't know, does, uh, does this feel s... stable?
Hey, give us some more depth.
She needs a stable bass to hold the sound.
You're the boss.
[CHUCKLES]
Dope!
Full depth. Should be good to go.
Uh... Okay. Um...
Uh, I don't know, maybe since I don't have my band
and... m... my instruments and all... All my things,
- maybe I should just... - Just sing. Sing.
Sing what you're feeling.
Go on, girl, let it go.

[BOWSER CHUCKLES]
So, who are you working with?
I know you've got some hot tickets on your roster.
- Nosy boy. - Aw.
I'm just having casual conversation
with an intriguing colleague.
My hot ticket is turning out to be more trouble than he's worth.
Oh.
These creative types, they keep you on your toes
with their wild ideas
- and their legal issues... - Right?
- You get it. - Mm-hm.
This morning, it was, "Let's get into the studio and record."
According to this last text,
now it's, "Get me on a flight to the Maldives."
Maldives?
Yeah.
- That's a sensual place. - Mm.
One could get into trouble down there.
God, I hope not.

Did you save me a bite of that cheesecake?
[GASPS]
Why are you playing me, Blair?
I'm not playing you. It's not like that.
Then what is it like?
I got caught up in something.
W... What?
It's not important.
I'm here now. I'm all yours.
No, no. See, I'm not asking you to be all mine.
I'm asking you to be straight with me.
Restless leg syndrome is a bedtime affliction.
I just Googled it.
Today got complicated. Look, I was...
No. This is about you!
You came over those flowers,
You're in there ordering up a fake birthday
like it's gonna make up for not being with me.
By the way, my metal piece got into MODA.
[SIGHS]
Holy shit! That's amazing!
Why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you ask?
You like complicated.
You like drama.
I'm not about that.
I'm not like that either.
I... I swear.
History tells a different story, Blair.
What are you saying?
Let me make this right.
Tell me where you kept disappearing to.
I can't.
Are you in some kind of trouble?
Uh...
Not usually.
[SCOFFS]
Damn.
All right, well, here's a reveal.
I run from trouble.
No, no, better yet, I walk away calmly,
as to not draw any undue attention to myself.
See, I... I like you, Blair,
but we're operating on different frequencies.
No. No! I can get on your frequency.
Where were you?
Right.
Okay.
It's been fun.
But this waiting around...
It's not for me.
I'm worth more than that.
Later, Blair Bear.
Miles!

Honey?

I'm... I'm allowed to have a damn feeling
without it being about you...
- [DROPS PAN] - It is about me, Anderson! It is about me.
It's about you and me.
Us, our family. Our choice...
to protect them at whatever the cost.
Isn't that what we promised each other?
Me in a white dress
with enough tulle to outfit an entire ballet troupe.
You in that matching plaid cummerbund and tie.
I loved our wedding.
Well, I loved our honeymoon.
[ANDERSON CHUCKLES]
I'm tired of all the lying.
This is the last time we have to push.

No, this is really it.

but goddamn, if it didn't work this time!
We got a nice, juicy lead. And we're gonna get this guy.
- Bowser, it's... - I know it's kinda late,
but, uh...
I thought maybe we could go out and strategize our plan?
- It's just... - [TERRANCE] Is that Bowser? [CHUCKLES]
Hey, buddy, you want in on some of this Indian food?
The garlic naan at this place will knock your socks off.
Did you know garlic was a powerhouse food?
Yeah, like, a natural, anti-fungal, antibacterial, antiviral...
Uh, Terrance and I got to working and...
Ah, save it.
Uh, hey, we got plenty if you change your mind.
Bowser!
Look, Yolanda.
[SIGHS] Terrance is all you really need,
so don't worry about throwing me any work.
You think I'm throwing you work like it's charity?
It doesn't matter.
Just...
take me out of your rotation.
Oh, it's like that.
Yeah, it's like that.
You don't get to be mad at me
for having a life that doesn't revolve around you.
That's not what I was asking for.
Oh, no?
You come here expecting me to jump at the chance to come out with you.
You pick me, you don't pick me...
You pick my sister?
And I'm supposed to just wait around, for what?
You to make your next poorly-timed decision?
For the record,
I wasn't expecting you to jump at anything.
I was hoping.
But you ain't got to wait around for nothing no more.
Take the Fren-Z case back, take them all back. I'm out.
[SCOFFS]
I'll make you chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.
I won't be hungry.
But maybe if they're there with extra powdered sugar,
I'll have, like, a bite.
[KISS]
[SIGHS]
It's all so stupid.
Everything is messed up and now he's gone,
and I don't want him to be gone.
Oh, baby,
- I know. - [SOBS]
Oh. You were real serious about him.
I tried to be, but...
it wasn't enough.
What do you mean, sweetie? What wasn't enough?
You know, time...
and attention.
Hm.
But I thought it was all working.
I thought I had it all figured out.
Mm.
Young love is hard.
Harder than old love?
[CHUCKLES]
Is that in reference to your daddy and me?
Are you guys okay?
You seem off... lately.
Or you're just both losing spatial awareness.
- [CHUCKLES] - Because you slam things on the counter
and it's been really hard on the ears.
You know, um...
one...
good thing that comes with old love
is your heart's muscle memory.
It can remind you of all the reasons why there was love to begin with.
It just needs to be jogged every now and again.
So, you're...
We're okay.
Okay.
I love you.
I love you, too.
