Paul: Hey did she ever mention a-a friend named Penny?
Um, no.
Are you texting from Bessy's phone?
You're not pretending to be Bessy are you?
Oh my God,
that is so messed up!
Paul: He called it an emotional affair.
He made it sound like Bessy leaned on him.
I seriously wish they were just fucking.
You'd be amazed at how far we'll go
to both feel our feelings.
Aqsa: You're thinking about not going to Berlin?
It just feels wrong to not be here for them.
That family's going through a terrible time
and I'm helping them.
You wear make-up and care for children.
If you're not a girl, what are you?
Gender binary?
Did you look that up?
Deenzie: I just keep thinking about all that you're doing
for that family.
Stop hugging now.
Deenzie: You will never regret the sacrifices you make
to help people.

Just want to thank you so much for attending my "Ellen" party.
I am seeing way too many Pompeos out there
and not one DeGeneres, eh?
Okay, okay.
Now for those of you wondering about me,
I am Mary Ellen Pleasant,
19th-century African American entrepreneur,
and "mother of human rights".
Thank you, Googles.
Clap for me.
(clapping)
Uh, who are you?
Ellen of Troy.
That's a "Helen" not an "Ellen".
You're too OCD about your parties
and it's pronounced "Ellen" across the pond.
You feel it in the air, right?
The sexual tension?
It's thick.
Sabi: Um, no.
You see Little Miss Fat Ass over there?
Sabi: Oh yeah.
Which Ellen is she?
Ellen...something.
Something-something
fencing something.
I'm gonna fuck my Berlin trauma away.
Heal thyself.
I just have one little request:
um, can you be regular Sabi tonight and not

Good for you.
Can I leave a message on her voicey-voice?
Why?
Just thinking,
you never know who's going to come into your life
and like change it.
You think you changed Bessy's life?
And if anything were to happen to me
I'd want Bessy to have a message with my voice on it.
What could happen to you?
Penny?
Are you in-in danger of harming yourself?
Do you need someone to talk to?

Sabi: Um, yeah.
Which Ellen are you?
I'm the great American puppeteer
Ellen Van Volkenburg.
Oh.
Juan: What's your name?

Juan: Sabi.
Cool.
I'm Juan.
Sabi: Hi.
Juan: Hey.
Oh, you're yummy.
I am?
Juan: Oh yeah.
You're kinda gross.
Oh uh...
Sabi: But in a hot way.
Juan: All right, into it.
You remind me of this puppet I built last year.
Thanks?
It's a compliment.
All my puppets are stunning.
Sabi: You make puppets?
Imran: She is podiatrist.
Perfect for Sabi, huh?
Hello?
So why you don't say something?
If we couldn't fix up Aqsa for marriage
how will Sabi be different?
Imran: He's my son.
He always do what I say.
Imran: When necessary,
I know what to do to get what I want.
Even if I'm in different country.
TV Host: Would you really think that's amazing?
I want space.
In the house.

You know where we live?

I'm supposed to be relieved by that?
Meet me in the garage.

Sabi: Actually maybe no.
This is kind of hot.

I had a bad dream.
Talk to Dad about it.
Dad's not home.
What?
Henry: I looked everywhere for him.
The kitchen, the bathroom,
his bedroom.
Do you think he left us because we make him sad?
No, Dad wouldn't leave us.
Are we gonna get murdered 'cuz we're alone?
No, we're not going to get murdered, Henry.

Why obviously not?
Violet: I'm not going down there at night!
Okay, fine.
Just, uh, don't move, I'll be there in 20 minutes.
No!
Hey, I gotta go.
You were about to get your freak on.
Well it's the kids and it's weirdly serious.
Sabi, you were about to have sex.
Sex is food. Food is serious.
Well, the kids can't find Paul.
Did he die?
Violet: Oh my God, you think you might be dead?
No, no! He's not dead.
She-she said he might be in bed.
Alive. Sleeping. Hang tight.
I'll be there soon.
Bye.
7ven: Sabi!
Come back and get your nourishment.
You hungry?
I actually just ate.
And you triple-checked
all the doors in the house are locked?
Violet: Basically, yeah.
What does 'basically yeah' mean?
Violet: It means basically yeah.
Okay and the windows are shut?
Violet: Yeah.
So you're safe. Stop freaking out.
Henry, are you okay?
Henry: I'm eating tofu!

Wow. Does anybody sleep?
Hey my Lyft is here, I'm on my way.
Join me for a nightcap?
Yep.
So...
instead of harming yourself,
we talk.
So...
I talk?
Yes.
Talk.
I'm thinking about her non-stop.
Her lying in that bed like-
I dunno.

I can't focus anywhere I go.
Can I ask,
how did you and Bessy meet?

Paul: And after we came out of the play,
and I don't remember what the play was we saw.
I've never seen a play.
After the play we went for a walk
and she started talking about all her urban design stuff
that she was super passionate about.
Density, diversity and mix.
All the Jane Jacobs stuff.
Hm.
Paul: And I just-
I just, I knew then that I just,
I-I wanted to share this woman's brain
for the rest of my life.
Who's Jane Jacobs?
She's one of Bessy's heroes.
Did you have sex with her?
Jane Jacobs?
No, with Bessy.
'Cuz when I met you in the park you said you didn't
and that you guys were like friends
that just did stuff together.
Now I'm kinda feeling like you barely had a conversation.
You must have had sex with her
'cuz you're not that smart.
She would have trouble having a conversation with you.
Okay, yeah, we did.
We had sex.
A lot of sex.
Okay, that's clear, thank you.
(door opens)
Hey.
Hi.
I'm here. Um, you both okay?
Yeah.
What's up with all of this tofu?
Violet: We're thinking it was for school lunches or something.
This is your dad's phone, right?
Yeah.
Weird.
(loud chewing)
Henry, stop chewing like that!
Stop!
Sabi please tell him to stop.
All right, you're both going to bed now.
Okay?
And I'll wait here until your father gets home.
Okay.
Sabi: Bed. Now. Goodnight!
Violet: Goodnight!
Henry, I swear to God, leave your sister alone.
Thank you.
She was the instigator you should know.
Why would you tell me that?
I'm gonna drop some wisdom on you.
Oh, can't wait.
You need to embrace what the universe gives you, dawg.
If you fight everything, it hurts.
Resistance is what causes suffering.
Paul: You know what else causes suffering?
Your wife being in a coma
and not knowing if she'll ever come out of it
and her brain-dead sex-toy coming over and talking to you
like he knows shit about anything.
So take your board, Baby Tony Hawk.
And your flask.
Who carries a flask?
Actually, you know, give me the flask.
(Paul groans)
Sabi: What are you doing out here?
Do I smell pot?
Oh my God, you're high.
Oh my God.
Okay, wow, okay.
So you're like-you're like, high in your garage.
Do you know that your kids called me here
because they're like super freaked out
'cuz they think you've abandoned them?
Oh shit.
Hey, Sabi.
Um, hey.
You knew about him?
It's the middle of the night.
What are you doing here?
I'm here for your kids, like I always am.
You know, it's like two in the morning.
I don't work around the clock for you, Paul.
Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I-I, but I'm-I'm going through the greatest shit-storm
of my life and you know what, I'm trying.
Right, right, 'cuz you're the first person in history
to go through a shit-storm?
Paul: Okay, right.
So when you're done, you know,
judging the hell out of me as-as a person
and a husband and a father,
then-then maybe you could explain to me
how you walked around knowing that Bessy was smashing my heart
and-and-and you didn't tell me?
It's not my responsibility to tell you that.
He knows you.
What? You, like, met him?!
No! Oh my God. What?
I just, we just bumped into each other
in a coffee shop in the east end.
It was like super far east.
When am I ever that far east?
It was a total fluke!
You think I'm that kind of awful
that you don't need to consider my feelings?
This is my family, Sabi!
And somehow you know more about them than I do.
Maybe don't treat people like, I dunno,
like they're an extra in your movie, Paul.
We are all here.
We're like all going through shit.
Like, I had the chance to move to Berlin.
I could be living in Berlin right now but I'm not
because I wanted to be here for you.
I didn't ask you to do that.
I would-I would never ask you to give that up.
But you know what?
I-I didn't need you here tonight
because eventually I would have come in the house
and then everything would be okay.
So, you know,
maybe you need to stop telling yourself
how badly this family needs you.
Fuck you!
Shit, dawg, you would have loved Berlin.
