No, I'm not.
I don't have to.
Trust me.
I'm protecting them.
Okay? This is the humanitarian way to go about this, okay? So, you're going to live a lie? Trust me.
That ain't the way to go.
Eventually, it's going to catch up to you.
Your family is going to figure it out.
It's going to eat you up on the inside.
It's going to be like a lose-lose situation.
Lose-lose.
Those are my choices? I guess I'll lose, then, because, trust me, it is better than sending my parents into cardiac arrest.
So, how are you going to tell them? I was thinking about texting them.
Facebook, maybe? No? Okay.
You know what? Maybe it will be a little something like this, huh? Tell me what you think.
Mom? Dad? I need to tell you guys that I like guys.

Sorry to call you guys.
He's being a wuss.

Drinking beer.
That is hot.
Did you speak to them this morning? No.
But I know they're there.

Well, that's quite an adventure today.
Hmm.
I just can't stop thinking about all those people who couldn't make it home.
Marcy, I feel exactly the same way.
It's very hard.
I have this video of Shireen Razack's arthroscopic knee surgeries.
It's pretty doggone fascinating.
Sounds cool.
You know, I did my first knee this past week.
And why didn't you tell me? What was it, a meniscus? Actually, it was an ACL.
You did an ACL? Yes, sir.
How did it go? It was hard.
You know, like Billy Dugan says, "The hard is what makes it great.
" And I put blood on my face.
You totally bought it.
I'm so glad you're home, mija.
Me, too, Ma.
I made those tamales just for you.
The green chili and chicken? Mmm-hmm.
Aw.
These are so good.
Di.
Hey.
Hey.
I figure we've got to work all night.
It's kind of slow.
Yeah.
Turkey sandwiches.
You want one? Yeah.
Yeah? That would be amazing.
Come on.
Thanks.
Rough night? Yeah.
Hey.
What? Dad is going to kick your ass when he sees you.
Who do you think I stole it from? What? You are so smug.
Jeez.
When you think you know someone.
Yup.
So, are you going to stick around? I'll probably stay the weekend.
You going to stay tonight? Nah.
It's weird, Peter not being here.
Yeah.
I guess he's starting up his own tradition.
What? This is a tradition? Yeah, I don't know if I remember this right, or if I made it up, but Mom's stuffing, way better, right? Way better! What? Radishes? Mmm.
You think Dad and Marcy are happy? I don't know.
I mean, they're not miserable.
You remember how he was? Sure.
But I don't know.
It just seems like something's missing.
The older I get, the more it seems that way.
Yeah, I know how you feel.
Hey, Nance.
Rabbit? Hey.
So, uh So, Lefty's was closed, huh? No.
No, it wasn't closed.
I, um I just I don't know.
Nowhere seemed to feel like the right place.
So, you came here.
Yeah, I did, didn't I? Here I am.
You want to come inside? I'll make you some food.
No, no, no, no.
I feel weird.
That's kind of standard around here.
Come on.
The turkey is actually pretty good.
Come on.
What? What? What was your favorite show? Webster.
Why? It's funny.
Cheers me with your sandwich.
Cheers.
Happy Thanksgiving.
You, too.
Happy Thanksgiving.
So, here it is.
The stuffing is not great, but the turkey beats the hell out of Lefty's.
Thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving, Rabbit.
How? It's like a lobster at a restaurant.
Lobster at a rest This is not like a restaurant.
Lobsters don't run.
Okay? Okay.
I want a good turkey this year.
I want it fresh, not frozen, with all that chemical and junk on the inside.
Chemical? You don't know that.
This is like a crack house for birds.
Where are we even at? It should be perfect this year.
Okay? You know, I wasn't really there those other years.
And even when I was there, it was like I wasn't really there.
No, I know.
I get it.
I understand.
You hate yourself, so you're working it out at a turkey slaughterhouse.
I get it, man.
I get it.
I get it.
And shouldn't you be on a plane to Baton Rouge or somewhere, man? No, I pushed my flight back.
Took another shift.
Oh, See-See, I couldn't.
The turkeys, they were looking at me.
And I looked back at them I do not understand why you're making such a big deal out of this.
I'll just pick up a free range turkey from the market.
I know, but I just want today to be perfect.
Cameron, all I need is you here.
All right.
Love you.
Bye.
Turducken.
What? Tur You want to impress her? Get some culture in your life, and make her a Turducken.
De-boned turkey, you stuff it with a de-boned chicken, and then, you stuff that with a de-boned duck.
That's how we do it on the bayou.
Aye, monsieur! That's what we do.
That sounds like chicken incest, man.
What do you mean? That's Cajun, man.
Well, well, well.
You guys look bright, breezy and thankful this morning.
Oh.
They broke into the 25-year-old Scotch and talked medicine all night.
I am heartbroken that I missed that.
Morning, sweetie.
Morning, Daddy.
And when can we expect you? My shift is over at 3:00, so I guess I will come down right after.
Will you be bringing anyone? No, not this year, Marcy.
You're really going to come visit? Oh, girl, we are going to tear it up.
Oh, yeah.
He's here.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sure he's into that stuff.
For sure.
Okay.
That was my cousin, Vivian.
She is awesome.
Man! I haven't had a family Thanksgiving in three years.
Yeah? You would like her.
She would like you.
Yeah? Mmm-hmm.
Well, I know what conejo means.
And I'm 6'1", by the way.
Rabbit, come to dinner tonight.
Seriously, it's like nothing you've ever seen before.
You want to be thankful? This is the place.
No.
Sounds cool, but I've got my own traditions.
You sure? This is Vivian.
Wow! Mmm-hmm.
But I've got plans.
Sorry.
Really? Someone I don't know about? You don't know about any of them.

That's being generous.
Maybe.
Yeah, here you go, guys.
He's all yours.
Thank you, Nancy.
Embrace it.
Hey.
What's DBI? "Dirtbag Index.
" It's the number of tattoos, divided by the number of missing teeth added to the estimated number of days without a bath.
Wow.
That's gross.
Yeah.
You've got to love the nurses, hey? Hey.

You remember a lot, huh? I try to forget.
Sounds like you know the drill.
What about you? You know me.

But eventually, you're going to have to tell them.
No, I'm not.
I don't have to.
Trust me.
I'm protecting them.
Okay? This is the humanitarian way to go about this, okay? So, you're going to live a lie? Trust me.
That ain't the way to go.
Eventually, it's going to catch up to you.
Your family is going to figure it out.
It's going to eat you up on the inside.
It's going to be like a lose-lose situation.
Lose-lose.
Those are my choices? I guess I'll lose, then, because, trust me, it is better than sending my parents into cardiac arrest.
So, how are you going to tell them? I was thinking about texting them.
Facebook, maybe? No? Okay.
You know what? Maybe it will be a little something like this, huh? Tell me what you think.
Mom? Dad? I need to tell you guys that I like guys.
Like Elton John.
Full frontal, like Dude.

Oh, really? Hey, you guys.
What's up, guys? So, what's up? Oh, it's his leg? Yeah, look.
Sorry to call you guys.
He's being a wuss.
It's this leg here, right? Actually, I would say he has dislocated his kneecap.

I'll go grab a board.

Yeah, they were.
But I don't know.
You get older, and all that rivalry and testosterone just kind of mellows into Mild emotional abuse? Yeah, I guess.
Right now, they're sitting on the couch with their hands down their Steelers sweatpants, watching the game.
Drinking beer.
That is hot.
Did you speak to them this morning? No.
But I know they're there.
Just Okay.
So, this is how it goes, right? When you're a probie, all you want to do is get home for the holidays.
When you've worked this job for a few years You sign up to work them.

Is there anything else you need before I leave? I have everything I need.
Thank you.
Bye.
Let's go grab a cup of coffee.
Absolutely.
And, of course, leading that float is Hey, man.
And Rudolph with that red nose.
Yo.
So, what's your plan? They don't have any flights out until tomorrow.
And I gotta work on Monday, so How much vacation time you got left? Two months.
So, why don't you tell them then? I don't know.
I just I was just ready to tell them tonight, you know.
I built myself up and just Where are you eating? I don't know.
Yeah, I do.
Help me grab some of these groceries.
Yeah? Yeah.
Really? Yeah, really, man.
You're family.
Man, stop looking at me like that.
So, I'm family, huh? So, I'm, like, the black sheep of the family.
White sheep of the family.
Gay white sheep.
I think I'm liking that.
Okay.
My cousin saw you on the news, and she thinks you're super hot.
Yeah? And Mexican.
I'm not Mexican.
He's not Mexican.
Okay.
So, what are you, then? I'm not going tonight.
I'll see you in a little bit, okay? All right.
Why aren't you going? It's not my thing.
What, did you find another hook up or something? That's not cool, man.
Viviana's going to be super pissed.
It's not that.
I just I don't know.
I don't feel like being in a crowd tonight.
You know, my family's not a crowd.
You know what I mean.
Not really.
But enjoy whatever you've got going on.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm very thankful for you guys.
Happy Thanksgiving, Rabbit.
Captain.
Yo! Let's do it.
Where are you spending Thanksgiving? Um Happy Thanksgiving, folks.
Happy Thanksgiving, Captain.
Bye, Captain.
Hi.
My parents are on their way up from LA.
Flights were all booked, so they had to drive.
That's good.
I thought you might want this.
Thank you.
You ever lose someone? I still haven't found someone.
I don't know if that's better or worse.
I'm sorry.
Will you stay with me for a while? Yeah.
Yeah.
God, thank you for my beautiful family and my guest.
Thank you for the hands that prepared this meal.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Oh, Tyler, we're just so glad that you're here.
Really.
Yeah? Yeah.
You know, that means a lot to me.
And to be here, sharing this with you guys.
You know, Boone family, I love you, and I know that you guys love me.
Mmm.
And I'm part of the family.
And I'll always be a part of the family.
And I just wanted you to know that I am gay.
That was a lot easier than I thought.
Could you get those potatoes over there? This is good.
Well, that's quite an adventure today.
Hmm.
I just can't stop thinking about all those people who couldn't make it home.
Marcy, I feel exactly the same way.
It's very hard.
I have this video of Shireen Razack's arthroscopic knee surgeries.
It's pretty doggone fascinating.
Sounds cool.
You know, I did my first knee this past week.
And why didn't you tell me? What was it, a meniscus? Actually, it was an ACL.
You did an ACL? Yes, sir.
How did it go? It was hard.
You know, like Billy Dugan says, "The hard is what makes it great.
" And I put blood on my face.
You totally bought it.
I'm so glad you're home, mija.
Me, too, Ma.
I made those tamales just for you.
The green chili and chicken? Mmm-hmm.
Aw.
These are so good.
Di.
Hey.
Hey.
I figure we've got to work all night.
It's kind of slow.
Yeah.
Turkey sandwiches.
You want one? Yeah.
Yeah? That would be amazing.
Come on.
Thanks.
Rough night? Yeah.
Hey.
What? Dad is going to kick your ass when he sees you.
Who do you think I stole it from? What? You are so smug.
Jeez.
When you think you know someone.
Yup.
So, are you going to stick around? I'll probably stay the weekend.
You going to stay tonight? Nah.
It's weird, Peter not being here.
Yeah.
I guess he's starting up his own tradition.
What? This is a tradition? Yeah, I don't know if I remember this right, or if I made it up, but Mom's stuffing, way better, right? Way better! What? Radishes? Mmm.
You think Dad and Marcy are happy? I don't know.
I mean, they're not miserable.
You remember how he was? Sure.
But I don't know.
It just seems like something's missing.
The older I get, the more it seems that way.
Yeah, I know how you feel.
Hey, Nance.
Rabbit? Hey.
So, uh So, Lefty's was closed, huh? No.
No, it wasn't closed.
I, um I just I don't know.
Nowhere seemed to feel like the right place.
So, you came here.
Yeah, I did, didn't I? Here I am.
You want to come inside? I'll make you some food.
No, no, no, no.
I feel weird.
That's kind of standard around here.
Come on.
The turkey is actually pretty good.
Come on.
What? What? What was your favorite show? Webster.
Why? It's funny.
Cheers me with your sandwich.
Cheers.
Happy Thanksgiving.
You, too.
Happy Thanksgiving.
So, here it is.
The stuffing is not great, but the turkey beats the hell out of Lefty's.
Thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving, Rabbit.
