[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Wow. You just got dumped by someone
who you weren't even dating, Linds.
Let's take a second to think
about that. It's pretty impressive.
I just don't get it. Wh
Everything was going so well.
In hindsight, maybe a
mistake to rub his nose
in the fact that you
cavorted with another man
like a common street whore.
Jesus Christ, Mom.
You know, he went home
with somebody else, too.
TOM: Excuse me.
He fornicated with one other
partner that he admitted to.
Who knows the real total?
That's why I recommend a
comprehensive venereal panel
as soon as possible.
Why do I even care, you know?
The whole point of this was that
it was supposed to be casual.
Because you love him, Lindsay.
You've loved him from the
moment his tears fell on those
blotchy, under-moisturized
cheeks of yours.
[SCOFFS] Okay. Maybe
I like him. A little.
- Finally, she admits it.
- It's like pulling teeth.
Hey.
Remind me, bitch. Why are you here?
Oh no, Lindsay, not her.
Did you seriously come all
the way to New York City
to find a cute little boyfriend?
Some cubicle-dwelling dweeb
you could snuggle up with
to watch Party of Five?
There's no need to drag the
Salinger siblings into this.
'Cause I thought you
came here to find you.
To meet bad boys, and
make bad decisions,
and end up in terrifying situations.
Maybe not terrifying, but.
Okay. Lindsay? You
don't know this person.
She said a mean thing to
you once about a beverage
Your Diet Coke is
oppression in a can ♪
and it's become an obsession.
You don't even know her name.
Oh yeah? Well, I know her soul.
- Oh, for God's s
- Uck!
- Yuck, Linds.
- The soul is a myth.
LINDSAY: You know, I used
to see you at parties,
and you would just be sitting
there in the corner just
reading Anaïs Nin, and smoking cloves,
and glaring at everybody.
Y-You didn't care what anyone thought.
And that's all I did was care.
- That's a good thing.
- Look, bitch.
It's simple, okay?
Miguel is over.
Miguel and his nine-to-five,
Brooks Brothers slow march to the grave,
which means you have a choice to make.

KEVIN: This was all my idea, you know?
Chad told me The Great
Gatsby's Rachel's favorite book.
I said, "Dude, do a Gatsby-themed
rehearsal dinner at your parents' place
- in Bridgehampton. She'll freak."
- MIGUEL: Nice.
And guess what? She freaked.
- Wow.
- Yup.
Oop, there they are The happy couple.
I hear they tried to fuck you.
Uh, you know, I'm getting pretty
close with Squez, the juice company,
and I think there might
be some legs there.
Yeah, well, you oughta
talk to Dick about it.
Because Dick Waltham wants to
hear about an eight-figure deal
from a second-year analyst?
Ugh, Jimmy. Jimmy, Jimmy.
This weekend?
That man is not the CFO
of Winnicott Douglass.
He's just Chad's dad,
father of the groom.
And you are not a second-year analyst.
You are his son's close
friend and trusted colleague.
Could you introduce us?
[SCOFFS] I could.
But if you really wanna
impress the old man,
you'll nut up and do it yourself.
This is it.
You are not gonna allow anything
to stand in your way this weekend.
You march up to that
old fucker right now
and tell him that
Hey I know that chick.
♪
Random Lindsay.
Miguel.
What are you doing here?
- There goes the fuckin' weekend.
- This asshole again? Really?
I'm here for the wedding.
For Charles's wedding?
- You mean Chad?
- I don't know.
Derek just said it was
his cousin, Charles.
Who's Derek?
- Hey.
- Oh, fuck. He's huge.
This is, um, Derek.
- Derek, this is Miguel.
- I'm, I'm Miguel. Nice to meet you.
How long have, uh, you two been dating?
[SCOFFS] No, we're not
dating. We don't do labels.
Yeah labels are for grocery stores.
For items that need labeling.
- DEREK: God, you're amazing.
- [LINDSAY CHUCKLES]
Wow, cool. Where are your costumes?
Like we're gonna dress up
for a fucking costume party.
- Stop thinking about her.
- I'm not thinking about her.
- Oh, oh, I see another brown person.
You're not the only Nope. Waiter.
I'm not gonna feel weird about that.
- You already feel weird about that.
- Okay, stop. Look, he belongs here.
Hey you belong here, buddy.
What?
Oh! There he is. Look alive.
CHRIS: Jimmy Jam-A-Rooney.
- ORSON: Ah, fuck.
- How goes it? So good to see you, bud.
- Hey, Chris.
- CHRIS: Heard about your juice biz.
I think I may have found a client, too.
Nothing as cool as juice, obviously.
My dad's best friend runs
Pringles? Do you know Pringles?
This Machiavellian motherfucker!
- Yeah, Chris, I I've heard of Pringles.

room and work on his writing.
- He's an amazing writer.
- CHAD: Hey!
Who wants to dance with
my beautiful fiancée, huh?
Oh. Oh, I see someone.

- And the smallest thing they do makes you feel ♪
- He seems great Derek.
He's brilliant.
He just had his second piece
published in the Village Voice.
About the new politics of grammar.
Oh wow.
See, I'm not even caught up
on the old politics so.
What was my life like
before you were there ♪
You know, you were the one that
said that you wanted to be friends,
but you didn't, by the way,
'cause I called you several times
to hang out and I left messages.
Guess I just assumed you
didn't really wanna see me.
- Well, I did.
- CHAD: Oh yeah!
Random Lindsay and
Jimmy. Old school, baby.
SINGER: Something about
you I already seem to know ♪

actually know your name?

Someone forgot their 1920s attire.
I am 1920s. I'm a vagrant.
- Have fun.
- DEREK: See ya, man.
You wanna dance?
No.
You look beautiful.
[DICK AND GUEST CHATTING]
DICK WALTHAM: He's just
been an absolute standout
from the second he started.
- Last quarter, especially.
- GUEST: Thank you.
DICK: Anyway, we're so
thrilled you could make it out.
- Talk to you a little bit later.
- Thank you.
Mr. Waltham.
Um, Miguel Jimenez,
sir. Second-year analyst.
I'm actually a friend of Chad's
and colleague, a trusted colleague.
Pleasure to meet you.
Um,
I don't mean to talk business
on an occasion like this,
but I just had to tell you
I know it's usually a three-year track
from analyst to associate, but, um,
I'm ready now.
How do you figure that?
I'm better than any
other analyst you have.
[CHUCKLES]
And
I'm on the cusp of securing a major deal
with an up-and-coming juice company.
Nantucket Nectars reported
$80 million in sales last year.
Snapple?
Had almost 800.
The company I'm talking with,
I firmly believe,
has the potential to
compete with both of 'em.
[BELL RINGING]
Find me later. We'll talk after dinner.
Sounds good.
[GUESTS CHATTERING]
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
[GROANS] Beef medallions? This
evening could not be more grotesque.
Yeah. I-I didn't even know they
were doing rehearsal dinners anymore.
It's, like, what is it, 1973?
DEREK: Huh, exactly.
How's your children's book?
You said you were gonna
maybe start working on one?
I-I had an idea once that maybe I
would write a, a children's book.
I thought you said you were
writing an existential horror story
about the monstrosity of nature?
Yeah.
As a children's book.
Mmm, what do you do, Miguel?
I work with Chad,
actually, at Winnicott.
[GROANS] I'm sorry.
Oh, it's just banking, you know, it's
I mean you've seen what
it's done to my family.
I guess not everyone can afford
to be a writer for the Village Voice.
Well,
cultural critic and predatory capitalist
aren't the only extant
career paths available.
- Where is it you bank, Derek?
- [DEREK SCOFFS]
I don't have that kinda money.
No, sorry, I meant your trust fund.
- He doesn't have a trust fund.
- N Well, no, no, no. It's
Look, my, my parents set one up for me,
but, uh yeah, I don't control it.
No, right. You just use it to
fund your writerly lifestyle.
[CHUCKLES]
Have you seen this baby genius ♪
He'll bring you such joy ♪
He's my smart, smart,
smart, smart, smart ♪
You have any cocaine here?
Somewhere in the house?
- MIGUEL: Hm.
- Gentlemen, we're, uh,
headed to the cabin for some cigars.
You in?
Dick asked to make sure
you were there, Jimmy.
Then I guess I have
to be there, don't I?
Hey, wait, I'm sorry. So, is
your name Miguel or is it Jimmy?
- That's just a nickname.
- It's because of his last name:
Gym-en-ez.
Um, so then wouldn't it
be pronounced "Jimenez"?
It, it doesn't matter, all right?
- Cigars.
- No, it does matter, though,
because this guy right here is
actually being pretty racist.
- Derek, I I don't think it's right
- Is it, is it racist?
- Am, am I, am I racist?
- N-No. No, you're not
Yeah, bro, very racist.
I'm sorry, Miguel.
Man, if I were you, I'd
be standing up for myself.
What he's doing, it's not right.
You actually have no idea
what you're talkin' about,
so why don't you just
shut the fuck up, Derek?
Whoa.
DICK: Everything okay here?
Yeah Yeah, no, everything's,
um, everything's fine.
We're heading over to the cabin.
Right?
Maybe you should take a walk instead.
Cool down.
Walk with me.
Hey I was just tryna help.
LINDSAY: Miguel.
Miguel Miguel, will you stop?
Look, I'm sorry for what
happened in there, okay?
No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry
your boyfriend's an asshole.
He's not my boyfriend.
What happened to you?
Because the Lindsay I knew
was excited about everything.
In love with everything.
This is who I've always been.
This is exactly the person
that I've always wanted to be.
Wow. Congratulations, then.
That must be really nice.
You don't get to dump me
and then just show up three
months later and start
Dump you?
You were the one who didn't
even wanna be in a relationship.
- You wanted casual.
- No, you said you wanted casual.
Because I knew that's
what you wanted me to say.
You said that you wanted
to be friends. You ended it.
I ended things because I was terrified
I was falling in love with you!
[LIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
That's when I thought I knew you.
And this person now? I don't know her.
I don't know her at all.
Were you really falling in love with me?
I have to go.
- Why did I say that?
- She tricked you. Again.
Just like with the crying.
You need to focus the fuck up.
Get your head outta your
ass and back in the game.
Let's go find that cabin, you
walk in, you drop to your knees,
- and you grovel.
- Are you joking? It is too late for that.
You did the only thing, the one
thing you are not supposed to do:
you scared them.
The next time you see those men,
you tell them exactly what Mrs.
Woodruff told your father and me
at your third grade
parent-teacher conference.
[BRANCH SNAPS]
ORSON: The fuck was that?
What she said was, "Mr.
and Mrs. Jimenez"
- Oh, my God.
- "your son is gonna be President
of the United States someday."
Okay? That's the kind of
brilliance we're talking about here.
She was talking about me
running for student council.
ROSIE: As a stepping stone.
[ALL YELLING]
What an arrogant,
self-righteous butt wipe.
He's like Pedro on The Real World,
if all Pedro did was yell at Puck
for putting his finger
in his peanut butter.
Whoa you're siding with Puck?
Uh, yeah.
Miguel never got you.
Not like I do.
Not like Derek does.
You're a badass bitch just
like me who doesn't give a fuck.
But
- I do give a fuck.
- Mm-mm.
I give a lotta fucks, actually.
You don't know me at all,
and I-I don't know you.
My mom was right. I-I
don't even know your name.
It's Liz probably.
I don't think I wanna be
friends with you anymore.
We were never friends.
Exactly.
DEREK: I wanna trust you.
I'm just so scared you're gonna hurt me.
- Ah, ah! Wh
- I don't know what happened.
We got to the cabin,
and Chad and Kevin asked
if I wanna try something really fun,
so of course I said yes
because I like really fun stuff.
They blindfolded me, put me in the suit,
shoved a ghost pepper in my mouth,
and told me to run like the wind,
and if I stopped running,
even for a second,
they said they would know,
and I would have to
swallow the ghost pepper
Was, was Miguel I mean,
did you see Miguel down there?
He never showed up Lucky bastard.
Miguel?
Miguel?!
Miguel?!
- Miguel?!
- MIGUEL: Lindsay!
Miguel?!
Hey. Hi.
You came to find me.
Well, yeah. You, you told me
you were afraid of the woods.
You remembered that?
Of course.
I don't wanna scare you,
but there's a bear
somewhere around here.

he went home.

- DEREK: Hey.
- I'm here. 'Sup.
- LINDSAY: Hey.
Hey. D-Money has arrived.
Someone forgot their 1920s attire.
I am 1920s. I'm a vagrant.
- Have fun.
- DEREK: See ya, man.
You wanna dance?
No.
You look beautiful.
[DICK AND GUEST CHATTING]
DICK WALTHAM: He's just
been an absolute standout
from the second he started.
- Last quarter, especially.
- GUEST: Thank you.
DICK: Anyway, we're so
thrilled you could make it out.
- Talk to you a little bit later.
- Thank you.
Mr. Waltham.
Um, Miguel Jimenez,
sir. Second-year analyst.
I'm actually a friend of Chad's
and colleague, a trusted colleague.
Pleasure to meet you.
Um,
I don't mean to talk business
on an occasion like this,
but I just had to tell you
I know it's usually a three-year track
from analyst to associate, but, um,
I'm ready now.
How do you figure that?
I'm better than any
other analyst you have.
[CHUCKLES]
And
I'm on the cusp of securing a major deal
with an up-and-coming juice company.
Nantucket Nectars reported
$80 million in sales last year.
Snapple?
Had almost 800.
The company I'm talking with,
I firmly believe,
has the potential to
compete with both of 'em.
[BELL RINGING]
Find me later. We'll talk after dinner.
Sounds good.
[GUESTS CHATTERING]
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
[GROANS] Beef medallions? This
evening could not be more grotesque.
Yeah. I-I didn't even know they
were doing rehearsal dinners anymore.
It's, like, what is it, 1973?
DEREK: Huh, exactly.
How's your children's book?
You said you were gonna
maybe start working on one?
I-I had an idea once that maybe I
would write a, a children's book.
I thought you said you were
writing an existential horror story
about the monstrosity of nature?
Yeah.
As a children's book.
Mmm, what do you do, Miguel?
I work with Chad,
actually, at Winnicott.
[GROANS] I'm sorry.
Oh, it's just banking, you know, it's
I mean you've seen what
it's done to my family.
I guess not everyone can afford
to be a writer for the Village Voice.
Well,
cultural critic and predatory capitalist
aren't the only extant
career paths available.
- Where is it you bank, Derek?
- [DEREK SCOFFS]
I don't have that kinda money.
No, sorry, I meant your trust fund.
- He doesn't have a trust fund.
- N Well, no, no, no. It's
Look, my, my parents set one up for me,
but, uh yeah, I don't control it.
No, right. You just use it to
fund your writerly lifestyle.

He's my smart, smart,

You have any cocaine here?
Somewhere in the house?
- MIGUEL: Hm.
- Gentlemen, we're, uh,
headed to the cabin for some cigars.
You in?
Dick asked to make sure
you were there, Jimmy.
Then I guess I have
to be there, don't I?
Hey, wait, I'm sorry. So, is
your name Miguel or is it Jimmy?
- That's just a nickname.
- It's because of his last name:
Gym-en-ez.
Um, so then wouldn't it
be pronounced "Jimenez"?
It, it doesn't matter, all right?
- Cigars.
- No, it does matter, though,
because this guy right here is
actually being pretty racist.
- Derek, I I don't think it's right
- Is it, is it racist?
- Am, am I, am I racist?
- N-No. No, you're not
Yeah, bro, very racist.
I'm sorry, Miguel.
Man, if I were you, I'd
be standing up for myself.
What he's doing, it's not right.
You actually have no idea
what you're talkin' about,
so why don't you just
shut the fuck up, Derek?
Whoa.
DICK: Everything okay here?
Yeah Yeah, no, everything's,
um, everything's fine.
We're heading over to the cabin.
Right?
Maybe you should take a walk instead.
Cool down.
Walk with me.
Hey I was just tryna help.
LINDSAY: Miguel.
Miguel Miguel, will you stop?
Look, I'm sorry for what
happened in there, okay?
No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry
your boyfriend's an asshole.
He's not my boyfriend.
What happened to you?
Because the Lindsay I knew
was excited about everything.
In love with everything.
This is who I've always been.
This is exactly the person
that I've always wanted to be.
Wow. Congratulations, then.
That must be really nice.
You don't get to dump me
and then just show up three
months later and start
Dump you?
You were the one who didn't
even wanna be in a relationship.
- You wanted casual.
- No, you said you wanted casual.
Because I knew that's
what you wanted me to say.
You said that you wanted
to be friends. You ended it.
I ended things because I was terrified
I was falling in love with you!
[LIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
That's when I thought I knew you.
And this person now? I don't know her.
I don't know her at all.
Were you really falling in love with me?
I have to go.
- Why did I say that?
- She tricked you. Again.
Just like with the crying.
You need to focus the fuck up.
Get your head outta your
ass and back in the game.
Let's go find that cabin, you
walk in, you drop to your knees,
- and you grovel.
- Are you joking? It is too late for that.
You did the only thing, the one
thing you are not supposed to do:
you scared them.
The next time you see those men,
you tell them exactly what Mrs.
Woodruff told your father and me
at your third grade
parent-teacher conference.
[BRANCH SNAPS]
ORSON: The fuck was that?
What she said was, "Mr.
and Mrs. Jimenez"
- Oh, my God.
- "your son is gonna be President
of the United States someday."
Okay? That's the kind of
brilliance we're talking about here.
She was talking about me
running for student council.
ROSIE: As a stepping stone.
[ALL YELLING]
What an arrogant,
self-righteous butt wipe.
He's like Pedro on The Real World,
if all Pedro did was yell at Puck
for putting his finger
in his peanut butter.
Whoa you're siding with Puck?
Uh, yeah.
Miguel never got you.
Not like I do.
Not like Derek does.
You're a badass bitch just
like me who doesn't give a fuck.
But
- I do give a fuck.
- Mm-mm.
I give a lotta fucks, actually.
You don't know me at all,
and I-I don't know you.
My mom was right. I-I
don't even know your name.
It's Liz probably.
I don't think I wanna be
friends with you anymore.
We were never friends.
Exactly.
DEREK: I wanna trust you.
I'm just so scared you're gonna hurt me.
- Ah, ah! Wh
- I don't know what happened.
We got to the cabin,
and Chad and Kevin asked
if I wanna try something really fun,
so of course I said yes
because I like really fun stuff.
They blindfolded me, put me in the suit,
shoved a ghost pepper in my mouth,
and told me to run like the wind,
and if I stopped running,
even for a second,
they said they would know,
and I would have to
swallow the ghost pepper
Was, was Miguel I mean,
did you see Miguel down there?
He never showed up Lucky bastard.
Miguel?
Miguel?!
Miguel?!
- Miguel?!
- MIGUEL: Lindsay!
Miguel?!
Hey. Hi.
You came to find me.
Well, yeah. You, you told me
you were afraid of the woods.
You remembered that?
Of course.
I don't wanna scare you,
but there's a bear
somewhere around here.
Hey,
he went home.
