Teenage Bounty Hunters (2020) s01e06 Episode Script

[cell phone buzzes]
[exhales deeply]
[shouts indistinctly]
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
-What? I didn't hear my alarm go off.
-That's 'cause it's only 6:23.
Oh, give me my seven more minutes,
-for the love of the Lord.
-No!
I can't wait to tell you any longer.
Oh, no. Did someone die?
Please, don't let anyone be dead.
No one died, except my former child-self,
who was murdered by sex!
Miles and I had sex last night.
[squeals]
You've been waiting
for so long for this moment.
I don't even know
what you're gonna obsess over now.
Hey, shut up!
Well, tell me everything. How was it?
Okay, the first time was really slow,
and romantic, and sweet, and gentle.
Wait. The first time?
Yes. And then the third time
was really
this just surprised continuation
of the end of the second time,
but the fourth time was the best time.
You had sex four times in one night?
Mm-hm.
I didn't know that was possible.
Why was the fourth time the best?
Because that was the time I had an orgasm
while he was inside of me.
I had a sex-gasm.
-You did?
-Yes!
And it was, like, so different
than when I do it to myself, you know?
But it was also different than when
Miles made it happen with other stuff.
I can't really explain it.
It was, like, deeper.
I saw fireworks or, like, fire dancers.
People eating fire. I don't know.
What did you see the
first time you came with Luke?
Oh. Um
Like, balls of fire and God.
He asked about Chloe, he's so nice.
Cool.
I'm sorry that I asked about Luke.
Are you doing okay?
Oh, better than him.
Oh, my God, 27 text messages.
Poor guy.
Actually, props for his Bitmoji.
It's, like, really accurate.
I don't know what to say. You know?
Like I don't want him to hurt,
but I'm not actually feeling sad about it.
And I'm trying to. Like
Like, last night,
I watched a really serious movie
to try and make myself cry
and I just ended up
feeling really smart and happy
[scoffs] You never could have watched
that with Luke. He reads so slow.
I know he's, like,
"Why would I read a movie?
I don't drink meatloaf."
I think you made the right choice.
You deserve to be with somebody
who makes you feel
the way Miles makes me feel.
And how is that?
Like a grown-ass woman.
[theme music]
[vocalizing]
[Debbie clears throat]
Jugo de Naranja?
I went shopping
down at that Mexican market.
I think we all need to learn
to broaden our taste buds.
-[Blair] Mmm.
-[Debbie clears throat]
Okay, fine.
Girls [exhales deeply]
we're going to have to cut
some corners now.
[Blair] Now that what?
Now that I'm unemployed.
Your mother's pretty disappointed
about that, if you hadn't noticed.
Well, I'm not disappointed, honey.
I-- I want whatever makes you happiest.
Which, apparently,
is hunting deer on a weekday.
[Anderson] It could be dinner.
Besides, it's been nice to relax a bit.
Clear my mind.
Think about what I want to do next.
[chuckles]
Please don't leave me, honey.
Promise me you won't.
-Promise me, baby.
-[chuckles]
Promise me, please, promise.
Yeah. I promise. That's enough. [chuckles]
Anyway, Sterling's debate championship
is tomorrow.
Exciting, right?
[Debbie] Very exciting.
I wish you'd let your father and me come.
I'm sorry, Mom.
It's just, this one's a really big one
and I don't want to panic and fold.
And having you there
would only stress me out more.
Your mother's always had
that effect on people.
Wow. Mm.
[Anderson] I wa
[Anderson sighs]
[receding footsteps]
Uh, wow.
Mom and Dad
are both on their periods, it seems like.
Did you know that guys
can get their periods, too?
Like, hormonally?
Of course I knew that.
I know a lot of things.
And I know a lot of things
that you don't know.
Sex has made you
a little bit insufferable.
Listen up, forensics warriors.
As you know by now,
Willingham is hosting
the citywide tournament tomorrow,
and we're going to do what?
-Win!
-Oh. [squeals]
Now, "Winning isn't everything."
Said no one in this room, right?
Miss Johnson has graciously
volunteered to assist us.
I assume you have debate experience?
Oh, yes, sir.
Oh, my mail person
was leaving things behind my planter,
so I said, "Excuse me.
Could you please put my stuff in my slot?
Because we have gophers
and we have robbers."
And so we had
this whole little back and forth.
Oh, but now guess what?
She does what I ask.
On-- On most days.
Well, I can assure us all
that I know how to win a point
and let me tell you,
as the school's
first white female captain,
I am honored to lead you.
I miss Linda Chatterjee's grace
and unflappable cheer.
I miss her too,
but she has taken her formidable brain
and remarkably large overbite
-to the leftist coast at Stanford.
-[Ellen] Hm.
So, with the Lord's help,
we will soldier through.
I've prepared dossiers
on every school's forensics captain,
including this year's defending champion,
Craig Wu.
[Ellen] Ooh.
The dossiers include:
strengths, weaknesses,
marital status of the parents
and yes, perceived hotness
at their respective schools.
All of us need to be on point tomorrow.
We don't want any
screw-ups like last year.
[sighs]
Therefore, federal funding
for transportation infrastructure
-should not be guaranteed.
-[ticking]
Isn't improving ports
the most federal of responsibilities?
Federal government investment is needed
to maintain the US as a world leader
in global commerce.
-You make a great point.
-[timer beeps]
[man] Don't worry, Wesley.
Tomorrow's a new day,
so go get some sleep.
And all of you, if you come in here
looking bleary-eyed,
I will pin you down and Visine you myself.
[exhales deeply]
Girls, try to remember
that you're on the same team.
You used to be so close.
I'm sure you can find that again.
Just try.
Coach, I was thinking about
bringing muffins to the other teams.
I was thinking,
would you want to go in halfsies or--
[Ellen continues talking indistinctly]
We used to be on the same page,
like, all the time.
Did we?
Maybe I blocked it out.
Come on.
Remember in fifth grade
when we convinced Mrs. Willis
that we should have a lesson
on the cultural significance
of the "Bad Blood" music video?
Till that rat-faced Marcy Browning
reminded her of our quiz.
She was the worst.
Total narc.
At least I still got 100 on that quiz.
I got 95
because I spelled Quakers with a "C".
"Quackers".
It drove me crazy for, like, a month.
[both laugh]
We need to be
on each other's sides to win,
but after tomorrow, it's back to normal.
I.e., me knowing that you're fake
and being the only person in school
who can see it.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Did you know that the French
call the moment of orgasm
"The Little Death"?
Do you think cumming is like dying?
If it is, then I'm like a cat
with nine lives,
and I just used a big one.
[chuckles]
But I'm gonna need, like, 9,000 lives
if I die a little bit
every time I have a sex orgasm.
Ah, here it is.
Okay. I think we've reached a point
in our relationship
where I would like stronger boundaries.
The next time Miles and I have sex
I'm going to be, like
[grunting]
And then I'm gonna flip him over
and I'm gonna be like bam! Bam! Bam!
And then he's gonna be, like [moans]
And then I'm going to do this thing
with my hips that I read about,
and he's gonna be, like, [squeals]
Okay, I don't wanna hear anymore.
Wait, I'm just getting to the best part.
Then I'm gonna grab his neck
and I'm gonna pull--
Stop it!
Dude, what's up?
I lied, I've never had
an orgasm with Luke! I--
Oh, shit.
Oh.
[sighs] I'm so sorry.
I thought he would have hit the spot,
like, at least once.
You know what they say,
"Even a blind squirrel trips over a nut
every once in a while."
We only had sex six times.
Um [sighs]
Well, sex orgasms are really hard
for a girl.
I mean, did you ever get close
when he was going down on you?
We only did that one time
and, uh, it didn't feel very good.
One of the guys on his golf team said
that he should say,
"Peanut butter lumberjack,"
and he almost suffocated.
Um, why didn't you tell him what to do?
What? You can't talk
during sexual activities.
What? How else is he supposed to know?
The only reason I came with Miles
is because I told him precisely
how it works when I'm alone.
I literally wrote it down on my iPad
and showed him the notes
in between takes, I mean
-[gasps]
-Hold on.
Did you ever use that vibrator
that I got you?
Or read any of those articles
on self-pleasure?
They were great
stocking stuffers, truly
You've never masturbated.
Or had an orgasm.
At all.
No, and don't make fun of me. Or Luke.
We tried.
Hey, it's okay.
No judgment.
It's just
it's a great use of after-school time
and then also, you get to tell somebody
exactly what it is you like.
I would highly recommend doing it yourself
before you go out on the open road.
Who says I'm going to do that?
Why wouldn't you?
The world is your jizz oyster.
-Ew.
-Look around you.
You can have any guy you want.
I guess I am kind of curious
to see what it's like
to kiss someone else, like
maybe Darren Boggs?
Yes!
Ooh, or Brett McNease.
You could even touch his butt.
If you could get your hands
around that thing.
It's a monster.
I would never hook up with someone
from school, though,
so I can get called a slut again.
-Mm.
-I mean, me and God are cool.
But the Judgment
of the Willingham student body
is a different story.
[exhales deeply]
Hey, who says
he has to be from this school?
You can scroll through Geekster.
Hey, he's cute in, like,
a Space Camp kind of way.
-[Blair] Hm.
-Always go for the nerds.
They're the ones
who end up being the most successful.
Excuse me!
We plan on making our own money.
Sure, mija, but I don't live
in a zero-sum world.
Money, plus more money,
equals fuck you money.
-[Bowser] All right.
-Yes, it does.
Sent out mailers for free yogurt
to our list of low-rent Dekalb skips.
How do you know they're going to come?
Trust me, I've done this
a bunch of times in Florida.
Criminals are hungry, stupid people.
-That is a hurtful stereotype.
-I'm hungry, and stupid,
-and I'm not a criminal.
-So
tomorrow, when they show up
with their bogus coupons,
we arrest them.
And then once we get a good-sized group,
we'll load 'em up in here
and off we go to the county jail.
Wait, is that tomorrow?
I started this out with, "So tomorrow."
Yes, Sterling.
Dang it! I thought it was Sunday.
I have my forensics tournament tomorrow.
Your forgetfulness
is disappointing but not surprising.
So here's who the three of us
will be apprehending.
This guy is missing four teeth.
Also, he's only worth 100 dollars.
Well, you don't need teeth for yogurt.
And yes, only a hundred,
but an easy day worth of these folks
is a pretty penny.
Speak for yourself.
A hundred for y'all if you bring him in,
if you don't,
that's negative one-thousand for me.
-[inhales through teeth]
-Wow, your business cycle
really relies on Bowser being good
at his job.
That's why my black book
of bounty hunters is very thick.
I rely on Bowser,
Terrance, Chuck, Perry D,
Michael, Rojelio, Jorge
Okay, all right.
Enough naming your boyfriends.
I'm your favorite.
Not after this stupid plan.
Stupid? [chuckles]
-Mm-hm.
Instead of wasting whole days
chasing fifty buck skips,
they all come to us in one big bunch.
That's genius if you ask me.
Oh, Einstein.
Mm-hm. You're just mad
'cause you gotta get your hands dirty.
-[chuckles]
-Please.
The old Yolanda used to love that.
-Oh, gross.
-Ooh, like how?
Wrangling drunks in the club. Mm-hm.
[both chuckle]
I was a cop, and she was a bouncer.
-Yeah.
-That's before she got soft.
[gasps] You should talk, Krispy Kreme.
-[Bowser mumbles]
-Although, I do endorse this shirt.
Oh, you got love for Tommy Bahama, huh?
Well, any place that sells a burger
and a blouse is okay with me.
[Yolanda and Bowser chuckle]
What the actual heck?
She's basically
undressing Bowser with her eyes.
I think she was just
complimenting his shirt.
But it's hideous.
She obviously wants to get with him,
sex style.
Sex. She wants to have sex with him
and we need to clear the way.
But wait, he married her sister,
so if he sleeps with Yolanda,
it's like he's sleeping with his sister.
But in reality, Yolanda was already
his former wife's sister
when they did the dirty the first time,
so, technically, they've been doing
an incestuous ménage à trois
this entire time.
Wow, your brain works really quickly
when it comes to intercourse.
Yeah, it does.
Hey Bow-Wow,
I can't attend coupon day either
because I have to go support Sterling
and be her good luck charm.
[gasps] Aw!
I always lose in the first round.
Yeah, that's because I'm never there.
So, I guess you guys are
doing this thing together.
[chuckles] Oh, my gosh.
You guys are so cute.
-[cell phone clicks]
-[Blair] Ohhh.
I'll send it to you.
[gasps]
Oh. [chuckles]
Can I borrow this?
Depends. You gonna bring it back?
If the way I borrow Sterling's bras
is any indication,
probably in two to three years,
and may be stretched out a little bit.
-Fine.
-Thank you.
Thanks for coming with me tomorrow.
I really wouldn't mind
kicking butt for a change.
Don't be weird.
I just said that to give Yolanda
and Bowser time to get busy.
Really, I'm going to hang out with Miles,
make sweet love, and talk about
adult things like the Federal Reserve
-or doing laundry.
-Thrilling.
Hey! Hit me as hard as you can.
It's designed to stop bullets, not hands.
Just pretend that you're an immature
teenage bank robber
and I'm a sexy adult
FBI agent trying to stop you.
Okay, fine!
But I'm a grown-ass bank robber
with an opioid addiction
and a really tragic backstory.
Wait! Opioid addiction isn't funny.
Okay, fine. No addiction, just still
a really tragic backstory, okay?
[both grunting]
I can take you. Oh, my God!
[giggling]
[car approaches]
-Was that Mom?
-I think so!
Did she just see us standing
in front of an RV with bail bonds
-and me in a bulletproof vest?
-Looks like it.
Holy shit.
Oh, we're so busted!
-Mom knows we're bounty hunters!
-Mom thinks we're slacking off at work
We're bounty hunters!
That's what I was gonna say.
-Hey.
-Oh, hey, Mom. Hope you had a great day.
We totally did. We worked so hard.
Yeah, which you already know since
you saw us outside the yogurt shop today.
Yeah, you should have stopped and said hi.
We would have introduced you
to this wonderful, incredible woman
that Bowser knows.
Her name is Yolanda and she's a nun,
and she drives around delivering yogurt
to underserved youth.
She's bailing out hunger.
[Sterling]
Yeah, while also creating a bond.
You might have also noticed
that new vest that I was sporting.
It's from H&M,
their new Desert Storm collection.
What a deal.
[forced chuckle]
Right. Well, yeah,
and I would have stopped myself,
but I was having drinks
with the girls across town
and I was in a big hurry. [chuckles]
She got a promotion, Sheila did,
so we were celebrating.
Anyway Um
I know that I've been acting [giggles]
stressed out lately,
but I want you both to know
we are all good here.
-Okay?
-Okay.
Okay. Come here.
[chuckles]
[kissing]
Love y'all.
She was lying.
No, she wasn't. You're so dramatic.
Lack of eye contact,
quickly changing the subject,
and since when does Mom ride in an Uber?
She says that she hates them
because they smell like people.
What does Mom have to lie about?
I don't know,
but she's obviously hiding something.
We just have to figure out what it is.
No, we don't.
We both know Mom can be
a bit much sometimes
but actually, with all things considered,
she's been pretty cool to me lately,
and I think that she deserves
the benefit of the doubt.
Of course she's been cool to you.
You're her favorite.
I don't have that luxury.
I can see her way more clearly
than you can.
You're a parakeet
living in her gilded cage.
I look nothing like a parakeet.
An eagle maybe,
or, like, a really pretty hawk.
Nope. You're a tiny blonde parakeet
and I'm a sexy, wise raven
living outside the cage
with no access to bird food or water.
She's up to something.
I'm gonna figure out what.
Wow, you are really taking this
"sex-gave-me-X-ray-vision" thing
to a whole new level.
It's right there
in front of our faces, Sterl.
Or you're making it up out of boredom,
like that summer the pool shut down
and you thought that Mrs. Miller
across the street was burying a body.
[grunts]
Who gardens at one in the morning?
Like, nobody!
[people chattering]
Sterling! You look amazing.
I know you're gonna do great today.
And I
[groans] I can't.
I attempted to picture you
as someone I love and respect,
but it's too much work.
-Even God rested on the seventh day.
-Wu! Wu!
Wu! Wu! Wu! Wu! Wu! Wu!
Wu! Wu! Wu!
There he is. Craig Wu.
Last year's champion,
this year's roadkill.
And not the cute kind
where they look like they're sleeping.
[exhales deeply]
[people chattering]
Hey.
[cell phone ringing]
-[Blair] Hey.
-Hey.
Um, I don't know if I could
do this whole Geekster thing.
I mean, I'm excited to explore but I--
But nothing. Just pick one and hop on.
Okay. What does that even mean?
It means don't overthink it.
You've never even kissed another guy.
Just experiment.
You're in the driver's seat.
What?
Am I just supposed to walk up
to one of these guys
and be, like,
"Hey, do you want to make out with me?"
Whoa.
Your tongue is scratchy.
Like a cat's.
Did you like it?
Yeah, I did.
Wow. Thank you for broadening my horizons.
Good luck on your debate.
Welcome.
Morning.
I'm here for my free yogurt.
-Do you have your coupon?
-Yes, sir. Got it right here.
Uh-huh.
Well, if you just follow me into my office
and fill out some paperwork,
we'll get you your yogurt.
[chuckles]
Welcome to the party, my bro.
I'm gonna sue y'all, I really am.
Do I still get the yogurt?
Sure, we'll give it to you
on your way to jail.
I mean, everybody's parents have stuff
they don't want you to know about.
Doesn't mean it's all secret,
evil Darth Vader stuff.
Then why hide it?
Look, if she's spending
this much energy lying about it,
it must be serious.
Not necessarily.
Take my mom,
the first and only African-American
female senator from our district.
-Mm-hm.
-Check it, she doesn't know I know this
but before her last election,
she went to a tanning salon.
What?
Her media consultant
said that her skin tone
polls differently in different regions
based on the socio-economic makeup.
-I--
-Yeah, I don't know.
She had this big debate coming up.
Let's just say she went
from latte to mocha.
By the time we got to Bankhead,
she was black, no sugar.
-No! [laughs]
-[approaching footsteps]
Well, hello there, Miles.
I didn't know that you two
were here
alone. Hm.
Seems like I could have gotten
a text about that.
Uh, Dad's out back in the wood shop
whittling ducks.
Good, money right in our pockets.
Well, hello, Miss Wesley.
You look very nice today.
Oh, well, thank you.
You certainly know how to flatter.
[chuckles]
You must get that from your mother.
Always campaigning?
You know, I know that your mother
and I have different politics.
Oh, Lord, that straw ban
Makes it impossible to drink an iced latte
without messing up my lipstick,
but, nonetheless, I am so glad
that Blair can be around
different kinds of people and
absorb er-- different cultures.
[chuckles]
Oh. Uh, yes.
It's such a complete pleasure to be
black in front of your daughter.
Good.
Good.
Um, I'm gonna run out
and go do some errands. And you two?
We're just gonna hang out
and watch cartoons.
You know, childlike things.
Well, I'll be back in a little bit.
Oh, and, uh
[clicks teeth]
Leave room for Jesus.
-Yeah.
-Oh.
Got it.
[Blair] Bye.
[Debbie] Bye!
Let's go.
-What? Go where?
-[door shuts]
We're going to follow her.
She's up to something
and I want to figure out what it is.
Do we really have to be spies and shit?
I just wanted to kick it.
Think about it this way.
We actually are spies,
and we're on a super dangerous mission
to bring us closer
and closer.
It is very hard to argue with you.
Mm-hm.
And you get to absorb
more of my culture on the way.
Please erase that interaction
from your memory.
Mm-mm, no. It's already ingrained.
Please!
[tapping over loudspeaker]
Good morning, everyone.
And welcome to Willingham Academy
for the Southeastern Semi-Quarter
Regional Forensics Tournament!
[chuckles]
Whoo!
Okay.
Now, today's topic is:
Should governments be held responsible
for economic reparations
for their own country's
historical injustices.
I'm about to text everyone
their first room assignments
and their opponents
in tres, dos, unos
[cell phone bleeps]
[multiple cell phone alerts bleep]
[students cheering]
[Ellen] Whoo! Let's debate!
Remember,
you're the affirmative in this round
so affirm that dude's place in hell.
-Crusader-style!
-Got it, coach.
I know cross usually trips you up,
but don't focus on the curveball.
Just lean into it. Move when he moves.
Dance with him.
Sweet moves.
Why are you so relaxed?
You're usually crying hysterically by now.
I don't know, just feeling
as chill as a scratchy-tongued cat.
I don't know what that means.
Neither do I.
Just win.
Hello, opponent.
[timer starts ticking]
I affirm that government
should be responsible
for economic reparations
for their country's historic injustices.
Throughout our shared global history,
crimes against humanity
have had unintended consequences
that have yet to be remedied
My opponent has made some valid points,
and sure, in theory,
reparations are great.
But who decides
the definition of an atrocity?
Well, let's start with six million Jews,
fifty million Africans who died
in the Middle Passage,
and the genocide of the American Indians.
Are you saying the nature of these horrors
are up for debate?
No, no, no, no, no,
that's not what I'm saying.
You-- You--
You can't debate these kind of
[alarm beeps]
-[beeping stops]
-Time.
[sighs]
I won. I actually made it through
the first round.
Oh. I've never thought I would say this
to you at one of these tournaments,
but congratulations.
Thank you.
Are you on Ritalin or something?
Or did you go up a bra size?
No, why?
How are you getting all this confidence?
Just hitting my stride, I guess.
Uh, my dudes.
Could I trouble you for some water?
Yeah, you got to give us water.
Basic human right.
[Bowser] We don't have to do shit. Huh?
You signed your rights away
the day the lovely Miss Yolanda here
generously paid your bond.
We didn't even get any damn yogurt.
And you promised.
Well, you promised you wouldn't skip bail.
Do you remember that?
[loud thud]
[engine rumbling]
["Work It" playing]
My God!
Yay!
[people chattering]
Sterling. Yes!
[with British accent]
Many atrocities have proved the need
for just and impartial reparations.
For example, genocide of the Aborigines
is a classic tragedy
of epic proportions
[continues speaking indistinctly]

So, in conclusion, what my opponent said
-is forensically unsupportable.
-Mm-hm.
[all muttering]
You sure know how to work that ♪
-All right! Yes.
-Yes.
Thank you.
Oh oh.

Turns out Craig had his own dossier on me.
You got out-dossiered?
He said things about me
I've never told anybody in my entire life.
How does he know
I fell out of my canoe at camp?
I swam to shore by myself.
Why didn't you use your intel?
I was about to and then
he brought up my dad and I fell apart.
It sucks you're going through this.
It's all fine.
I'm still the team's first
white female captain,
and we are still going to win.
How? If Craig beat you,
what chance do I have?
[exhales deeply]
You were
never supposed to make it this far.
So, he doesn't have a dossier on you.
Your being a giant nobody
has finally paid off.
Thanks?
All you have to do
is use this last bit of dirt.
It'll be the final nail in his coffin.
H-- His mom slept with her trainer?
How do you know this?
I lift. I asked around.
Okay
Um How am I supposed to use this?
He's the affirmative.
Part of his case is built on
the personal anecdote
of his parents' divorce.
It's that weird thing
where you appear vulnerable
to appear strong.
He'll give you the opening you need.
I don't know if I can stoop that low.
He did it to me.
Besides, stooping low is something
you've proven yourself
very capable of in the past.
What's that supposed to mean?
Oh, please.
Back when we were friends in fifth grade
and you gave me away
to Jessica's group at recess.
What are you talking about?
You
We just stopped hanging out
and you started hanging out with Jessica
because you had more in common with her.
No.
You very specifically
and intentionally gave me away.
You, and Blair, and Hannah S, and Hannah G
were playing soccer
and I was going to sit on the swings
and memorize the Republican presidents.
Then you came up to me.
You took me over to Jessica
and you said, "April's in your group now."
And then you walked away.
I don't remember it like that.
I do.
I don't know-- I don't know what to say.
If that's true, then I'm so sorry.
It doesn't matter.
The past is the past.
We're all adults here.
-No, April. I want to talk about it.
-We just did.
So
if you have a shred of decency,
you will bring up
this boy's philandering mother
in front of his friends and family.
[ducks quacking]
I am so bored right now.
I can feel my hair growing.
Either she starts selling drugs
in the next five minutes,
or I'm going to run her over.

[cell phone bleeps]
[cell phone bleeps]
[cell phone bleeps]
[cell phone clicks off]
-Hey.
-Mm.
I have to get going.
I promised my mom I'd help stuff flyers.
I'm sorry.
We didn't even get to the end
of the mission
where we get to, like,
bang in Thailand.
[chuckles] Yeah, well,
that's what tomorrows are for.
-Oh, Yeah?
-Yeah.
Bring that red wig.
Okay. Only if you wear it.
-You want me to drive you home?
-No, the MARTA's right there.
Besides, you don't want to miss it
if she, like,
starts counting leaves or something.
Oh, yeah, everything's a joke to you.
Later.
Bye!
[door shuts]
[shouting]
[grunts]
[cell phone dings]
Officer said if you finish those BOBs
before five,
he can process before the shift change.
[both chuckle]
-That's great.
-Mm.
-Hey, thanks for sticking around.
-Did I have a choice?
[both chuckle]
Easy day, my ass.
Quit your bellyaching. You had fun.
Maybe. I guess we don't make
a half bad team.
Yeah, I always thought so.
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.
You have a funny way of showing it.
You're saying I'm funny? Thank you.
-[Bowser chuckles]
-[Yolanda sighs]
I'm saying if you had such a good time
with me that one and only night,
why didn't you lock it down?
Why didn't you ask me to?
I had to ask?
Well, I'm not a mind reader,
and you wasn't emmitin'
no commitment vibes.
And my sister was?
She at least acted like
she was interested.
Oh, please.
Miss Michelle was probably
still coming down from Burning Man.
Well, then you should have asked her
to save you a hit of whatever it was.
-And that would have changed things?
-I don't know, I can't time travel.
Or read minds.
-You know
-Mm-hm.
if you keep reminding me
of all the super powers I don't have
-Yes?
-you'll miss the ones I do have.
Like your brute strength?
And my winning smile.
Yeah, and I have X-ray vision.
I can see through shit.
-"I can see through shit."
-Yes, I can!
[sighs]
So, how is Michelle doing anyway?
Fine.
-Yeah?
-Mm-hm.
What is she up to?
[chuckles]
-You know Michelle.
-Mm-hm.
She's either visiting an ostrich farm
or trying to become an astronaut.
[chuckles] Yeah. She tried to convince me
once to grow crystals in our bathroom.
[chuckles] Said we'd make a fortune.
[Yolanda chuckles]
I should get going.
Hey, are you sure?
Yeah. Tow truck will be showing up soon.
My whole life's in that thing.
Yes, but in a hyper-capitalist framework,
reparations would be counter-intuitive
to a nation's productivity.
I'd contend that a nation's productivity
would improve
if its citizens could endorse
their government's morality.
Isn't that what this is all about, anyway?
What's right and what's wrong?
Take my parents, for example.
They got divorced.
It was amicable.
But only because my father
made reparations to my mother
for being absent for many years.
So you're contending that your mother
was the victim?
I-- I guess, but I mean
that the situation was resolved
because one party admitted guilt.
One party?
My point is that institutions
as small as families and as big as nations
can only move on with the truth.
I mean, don't you think when someone
was wronged in the past
that the offending party has an obligation
to address that grievance?
Even if it's years later?
You make a great point.
[sighs]
Wu! Wu! Wu! Wu!
Wu! Wu! Wu!
-We did it, boys! Yes!
-Wu! Wu! Wu! Wu!
Wu! Wu! Wu!
Hey! What was that?
Why didn't you drop
the trainer hammer?
I'm sorry, the moment came
and I just couldn't do it.
Oh, so, you can be mean when it helps you
but not when it might actually help me?
[sighs] You're right.
You're right, April.
You're right about a lot of stuff,
like the fact that I was your bully.
What are you talking about?
In fifth grade, we were close
and I gave you away and I'm sorry.
What?
I don't care about your stupid apology.
You know what's going on
with my family right now.
We have become the black sheep
of the entire community.
I needed a win.
Healing of our relationship
is bigger than a win.
Says the person who wins all the time!
-April--!
-No!
You screwed me over then
and you screwed me over now.
I didn't think our relationship
could get worse.
I was wrong.
Hey, I just wanted to congratulate you.
-Hope to see you next year?
-Thanks.

Uh hmm.
