- Hi, Leighton. - Hi, Leighton.
- Wait, why'd you stop talking when I showed up?
Is it--Is it my glasses? I know they're ugly,
but my fucking mom forgot to send my contacts.
- No!
It's just surprising that you came.
- Well, I'm not really jazzed to watch soccer,
but I did want to come and support Whitney.
- You like Whitney?
- Yes, I like Whitney. She's our roommate.
- Do you like me?
- I guess. Stop asking me if I like people.
Everyone's fine. Anyway, I can't stay long.
I have to plan a surprise party for my brother's birthday.
- Oh, my God.
I didn't know Nico's birthday was coming up.
That's so cool.
- Yeah, I always plan his party.
And I have some really good surprises
in store this time.
- It'd be really great for me if I could get
the "Catullan" writers in for an exclusive event.
- Yeah, I'm sure my brother would love
to have eight nerdy writers hanging around.
No plus ones.
- But we are invited.
- Sure. both: Yes!
- Wait, they're pulling in!

- Oh, my God, it's Whitney!
Hey, girl! - Whitney!
all: [cheering] - You came?

Can we have some of your team's Gatorade?

where you feel like you have to pee
but nothing comes out? - Bitch, you have a UTI.
- Oh, my God, no!
- Did you forget to pee after sex?
- Are you supposed to do that?
- Someone didn't read their vagina's manual.
- Wait, are you having sex with someone?
Who? - Me?
Kimberly Finkle? Having casual sex?
[chuckles] That's a laugh.
- There are a lot of other ways to get a UTI.
You probably sat on a wet library chair
for too long. - Right, that's probably it.
Anyway, these cold bleachers are really helping
numb the area.
- Just a reminder, my friend Maya
is visiting this week,
so if we could talk less about infected genitals--
- No promises.
- Something's happening! Run, bitch!
Run!

when she found a box of condoms in his car.
And a Google search on his iPad that said "Is it illegal
