- [DIANA] So, was he there?
- [PIPPA] Yeah.
They were both there.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
You're doing a really good job
pretending not to hate me.
- I'm not pretending.
- Really?
- Really.
- Evan, he's been different.
Like, he's uncomfortable all the time.
- Oh, my God. You cheated.
- Okay, yeah. Once.
- Who was it?
- [EVAN] Just some random girl.
Chris! Guys, this is Lydia's brother.
- Hey!
- [EVAN] Oh, hey! Wow. This is Leo.
He was studying abroad last year.
Look, I'm sorry, but the class is full.
I'm just, like,
a total fucking disaster
That's quite a performance
you gave earlier.
I really wanted him
to let me in the class,
- so I figured to start crying.
- That's very sick. [LAUGHS]
- So, you're in my wife's class?
- [BREE] Yeah.
I'm really sorry for hurting
you so badly last year.
I embarrassed you over
and over and over again,
and I probably eroded
any sense of dignity you had.
[DOOR KNOCKING]
- What the fuck!?
- You're right. I am so mad.
And I know you probably love that,
but I swear to God, Stephen,
if you keep fucking with me,
I will destroy your life.

We own that, yeah ♪
Took many days and many nights ♪
[LUCY] Holy shit.
Wow.
They're so
- fancy.
- Yeah. You like 'em?
They're beautiful. Thank you.
D-Did you want something else?
No! No. I-I-I just
I've never had jewelry like this before.
No, you don't have
to do that. It's okay.
I can I can get you something else.
Evan, stop. I-I really love them.
- We're gonna go get a drink! Bye!
- Yep, we'll be back.
- [BAR CHATTER]
- [INDISTINCT SINGING CONTINUES]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi. Hi.
- Hi. Hey.
- Can I tell you something?
- Yeah.
- You're very attractive.
- Oh, my God. [NERVOUS LAUGH]
- What? We've all talked about it.
- That's
[SCOFFS] just not not true.
Your, uh, your friend's
she's shy. Isn't she?
- So shy. Classic introvert.
- Mm.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Why don't you just take 'em off?
I can exchange them.
You don't need to exchange them.
They're beautiful.
I'm just not used to
getting gifts like this.
I was just a little bit embarrassed
opening up something so fancy
in front of everyone.
Well, I wanted to do dinner
with just me and you,
and I would have
given them to you there,
but you wanted to do a group thing.
- Okay, that's not the point.
- [EVAN] Why do you seem annoyed?
I-Is it because I gave you the wrong gift?
No! It's because you're being so weird.
How am I being weird?
I-I'm just trying to make you happy.
I don't know!
Honestly, I don't even know
what we're talking about right now.
Hey! Why do you guys look so serious?
You're the birthday girl!
- [LUCY SHUSHING]
- What?
You know what?
This is becoming a weird night.
I should just go home.
Why don't you stay here with your friends?
You sure?
Yeah, it's fine.
- Love you.
- Love you, too.
[INDISTINCT SINGING CONTINUES]
[LAUGHTER]
[LEO] We should do this again.
- What, run into each other randomly?
- [LAUGHS] No.
You know what I mean.
Can I get your number?
You know what, actually?
And now, you have mine.
Yeah, look at that.
[INSECTS CHIRPING]
[LIGHTER CLICKS]
[QUIET OUTDOOR CHATTER]
[EXHALES]
Bree.
That was your name, right?
Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi.
How are you?
- Right now, irritable.
- Oh, okay.
What's, uh, what's "puss-wuh"?
Oh, uh, [LAUGHS] it's "poo-swá."
It was a-a gift from my friends.
We have this joke where, like,
puswa is the French word
for pussy.
[LAUGHING]
- Puswa. I like that.
- [LAUGHS] Thanks.
[APPLAUSE, CHEERING]
- What's What's going on in there?
- [EXHALES] Fucking trivia night.
Some of the other professors organized it.
I was just trying to have
a quiet drink on my way home.
Didn't realize.
Otherwise, I would steer well clear.
Yeah, you d-don't seem like
you'd be into trivia night.
Well, luckily no one smokes anymore,
so I had an excuse to sneak out.
I just snuck outta my own birthday party.
It's your birthday?
Yeah.
Why did you sneak out?
I was tired.
[EXHALES]
Actually, I just wasn't having any fun.
[SCOFFS]
That probably sounds
like a silly reason.
No, no. Sounds like the best reason.
Though, technically birthdays
should still be fun at your age.
What happened?
I had a stupid fight with someone.
My boyfriend.
Well, for what it's worth,
I had a pointless argument today as well.
So, why don't you humor me for a minute
and tell me about yours?
Make me feel better about mine.
Basically, I was embarrassed
because he got me these earrings,
and they're just
they're, like, the most expensive thing
that I've ever touched.
I don't know.
He got all weird because he thought
that I didn't like them,
and I didn't wanna make a scene,
but it became one.
And I told you it was stupid.
But, you didn't like the earrings.
No.
That wasn't the point.
Ah, it's frustrating
when people listen to you
without actually hearing
what you're saying.
Yeah. Yeah. That's
That's pretty much exactly what it was.
[BREE SIGHS]
Did that make you feel better
about your argument?
Oh, definitely. Yeah.
Mine wasn't nearly as stupid. [SNICKERS]
[LAUGHS]
Could I have a cigarette?
Sure.
[LIGHTER CLICKS]
[SIGHS]
[COUGHS]
[LAUGHS]
I don't really smoke.
- [FAKE SHOCK] No.
- [COUGHS]
[WEAK LAUGH]
The earrings look dumb, don't they?
May I?
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Ah, they don't look dumb.
But I'd say the sweatshirt's
more your style.
Well, that's time for me.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
Oh, and, uh,
happy birthday.
♪
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
How was Bree's birthday last night?
Fine.
[CLICK]
[CLICK]
Anybody fun there?
No. Just Pippa and
- Lucy.
- Mm, right. Great, cool.
I can't tell Bree who
to be friends with, dude.
I know. It's just irritating.
I break up with her,
she's just around
all my friends, you know?
- What are you worried about?
- [STEPHEN] Nothing.
I just don't want her talking about me.
That's all.
What could she possibly say that's worse
than the shit we already know?
[BOTH LAUGH]
Anyways, the whole night was a mess.
Me and Brie got in
a stupid fight about nothing, and I
- [SIGHS]
- [TAPS TABLE]
I just feel like a real piece
of shit, man.
And I know that I'm making it worse
by having these stupid fucking
arguments about nothing.
I'm sorry, dude. Fuck.
[PHONE DINGING]
What happened to your iPhone?
Uh, it got smashed.
- [EVAN] Fuck, man.
- Just a stupid fucking accident, yeah.
Sorry, man.
Hey, about the Bree stuff.
Listen. [SIGHS] Is she someone
you wanna be with, you know,
for good?
Yeah.
Yeah, she is.
Honestly,
maybe you should tell her the truth.
What the fuck? Are you serious?
Why the fuck would I do that?
My natural impulse is to lie.
Obviously,
that's what I did last year with Diana.
And in the end, that just created this,
like, bigger fucking mess.
I'm trying to be less of an idiot now.
And this is your genuine advice?
To tell Bree the truth?
[STEPHEN] You're gonna do what you want.
But what if you do end up,
you know, together in the end?
This is gonna be eating at you forever.
I mean, look at you
now. You're miserable.
Also, Evan, I don't wanna
freak you out, okay?
She might already sense it.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
I mean, maybe that's why
she's being so weird.
Maybe deep down, she knows it.
She's just waiting for you to say it.
- That's a good color.
- [LUCY] Is it?
I don't even know if it's good eye shadow.
- [PIPPA] That's cute. [LAUGHS]
- [DOOR OPENS]
- Hey.
- [LUCY AND PIPPA] Hey.
- Are you feeling any better?
- [BREE] Yeah.
Sorry I left so early. I
I just got really tired all of a sudden.
Hm
- Guess who Lucy's having drinks with?
- Who?
Leo.
That's great.
Okay. Okay.
What's going on?
I just hate how last night went.
The fight with Evan was so stupid.
What was it even about?
It's like he's listening to me
without actually hearing me.
You know?
And then, on the walk home, I
I totally humiliated myself
in front of Marianne's husband.
Wait, what? Where?
I just ran into him while he was smoking,
and he gave me a cigarette.
You shared a cigarette with a teacher?
You don't even smoke.
Well, it was nothing.
He was just giving me some advice.
He probably took pity on me
because of how embarrassing I looked
in my Puswa sweatshirt
and those earrings.
Oh, whoa!
Puswa's nothing to be embarrassed about.
[PIPPA LAUGHS]
Oh, my God. What?
Well, at one point, he
he reached over and took out my earring.
- Wait.
- What?
- He just wanted to see it.
- Just wanted to see it?
Holy shit, you're pregnant. [LAUGHS]
Stop. I-It's noth-a-thing.
It's noth? It's noth-a-thing?
Oh, my God, you're super pregnant.
- [BREE] Okay.
- [LAUGHS] Oh, my God.
You got drunk and let a teacher
take out your earring!
- Stop! Stop.
- [LAUGHTER]
Well, he was definitely flirting with you.
- Yeah, for sure.
- What? No.
Look, why would he even be into me?
Bree
I have rules, and one of those rules
is that a professor would never hit on me.
What does that even mean?
Yeah, what does that even mean?
- You're both pregnant!
- [LAUGHS] Okay.
- You're pregnant!
- [LAUGHTER]
[SOFT R&B MUSIC PLAYING]
- Oh! Sorry.
- Hey!
Is, uh, Stephen not here? [LAUGHS]
Uh, no, but this is Chloe,
- and she, uh, is a business major.
- [CHLOE] Hi.
[AWKWARD SIGH]
She's actually really nice. I promise.
Listen, after all the shit
Pippa put you through,
I'm just glad you're, uh,
getting out there again.
Well, uh, Stephen's out with Evan,
- but please, um, sit.
- [DOOR SHUTS]
- [DIANA] Okay.
- Have a seat.
Sit on down. Okay.
Am I sitting in sex?
- Aren't we all? [LAUGHS]
- Yeah, let's not.
- Um Excuse me.
- Oh.
- [OPENS, SHUTS MINI-FRIDGE]
- [BOTTLES RATTLE]
She's actually my tutor,
came over to help me study.
- [OPENS BOTTLE]
- Wow, that's new for you.
Yeah, you know, uh,
teachers used to go a lot easier on me
back when I was on the team. [SIGHS]
- Rude awakening.
- [NERVOUS LAUGH]
[DIANA] Um
Well, I-I should probably go.
Why? What happened?
No, I just, I don't want
Stephen to feel weird.
Weird about what?
That we're alone in a room together
while you're half naked.
And we slept together once.
[COUGHS] Uh
Come again? [LAUGHS]
W-We did?
Y-You're kidding, right? [LAUGHS]
Welcome week?
Freshman year?
Oh, my God!
- [AWKWARD LAUGH]
- Oh, my God!
Yeah! I'm so sorry.
Of course. I remember.
- Oh, don't, like, think about it.
- [LAUGHS] Okay. Sorry.
- You're the one who brought it up.
- [BOTH LAUGH]
Oh, no.
Uh, s-so Stephen knows about that?
H-He found out about it last year.
Um, he never talked to you about it?
No. Why? Was he mad? I-Is he mad?
No! It's totally fine. Um
He wasn't mad at you.
He was a little upset with me
for not telling him.
- You sure?
- Very sure. Mm-hmm.
[SOFT, TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Okay, I feel like
I should say something though.
No, no, no! Don't.
He'll be so embarrassed
if you bring it up.
Please promise you won't say anything.
Okay. Yeah. I won't.
[LAUGHING] He was nice.
- He was nice.
- Nice?
- He was.
- Oh God, please never describe me as nice.
Okay, how should I describe you then?
He was of average height and build.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
No mention of the jawline?
[LAUGHS]
No. Are you hitting on me right now?
Of course not.
- [QUIET BAR CHATTER]
- No. [LAUGHS]
It's, um, it's very polite
that you haven't mentioned
Stephen's whole speech
in the dining hall yet.
Yeah, what was that all about?
I mean, what did he do?
- He killed my dog.
- [LAUGHING]
[GIGGLES]
No, he was it was nothing.
We dated for a few months, but it was
not a big deal.
What about you and Stephen?
We dated for a few months,
- and it ended terribly.
- [LAUGHS]
No. Honestly, I've just
never liked the guy.
I've seen him be an asshole
too many times.
Yeah, I can understand that.
Yeah.
And he killed my five dogs
and murdered my family.
Oh, my [LAUGHS] my God. [LAUGHING]
Lucy, if you do not stop
smiling at me like that,
then I'm gonna have to kiss you.
- [GIGGLES]
- Alright, you fucking asked for it.
We'll serenade you
like you just can't lose ♪
You know we're aiming for you ♪
[SONG FADES OUT]
[DOOR OPENS]
Hi.
Hey. Hey.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, they look good on you.
[BOTH LAUGH SOFTLY]
Listen, I'm so sorry about last night.
No, I'm sorry.
You did a nice thing,
and I was such a dick.
I felt bad all morning.
No, you don't have to apologize.
It was all my fault.
I do. I shouldn't have said that stuff.
You've been such a good boyfriend.
And also, I really love the earrings.
Thank you.
Wait. Um
Sorry.
I need to talk to you about something.
Okay.
Uh, I think
I think I cheated.
You think you cheated?
[WEAK LAUGH]
- Don't joke like that. It's not funny.
- No, I'm not joking.
It was the start of the summer,
and it was a stupid drunk thing,
and I-I'm so, so sorry.
- I love you so much.
- You're being serious right now?
Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
- So what, did you, like, kiss someone?
So, you slept with someone?
Who was it?
Nobody.
I was wasted. It was some random girl.
Why would you
Why would you do that? I
Did I do something wrong?
No, Bree, it wasn't your fault at all.
It was all me, okay?
I'm so sorry. I-I love you so much.
So, this is why you've
been so weird all summer.
And then kept telling me
that I was being weird.
I just spent the last three months
thinking that I did something wrong
and you allowed me to
think that it was me!
I didn't mean to.
And then, you buy me these insane earrings
because you feel guilty?
And then, you make me feel bad
for not liking your pity gift!
- Bree, wait. Stop, please.
- No!
I don't wanna be in
the same room as you right now.
- Are you breaking up with me?
- I don't know.
[DOOR OPENS, SHUTS]
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[PROFESSOR] And we'll be covering those
market trends through the end of 2001,

[INDISTINCT]
[CLEARS THROAT] Hey, Professor Banks.
I was wondering, could I come by
your office later to discuss something?
[BANKS] Sure.
[QUIET CAFETERIA CHATTER]
How are you and Diana doing?
You guys doing good?
[STEPHEN] Oh yeah, we're great.
There's no drama or anything?

[WRIGLEY]
Your LSAT prep is ruining my life.
Come on!
You said that Diana's going out with
her friends. We could have a Halo night!
[STEPHEN] What's the team doing?
Uh, nothing, man.
They're just practicing at 6:00 a.m.
- You don't have to be there?
- I do, but I can be hungover
because all I do is sit there and watch.
Hey, if you gimme a little bit
of time here to study
and then I'll take the night off.
- Really?
- Yeah, but you have to be quiet.
And then, I gotta talk to a professor
about something,
and then I'm free.
- Wrigley.
- Can you be quiet? I'm trying to study.
Ugh, I'm just so fucking sorry.
- Can't even
- [DOOR OPENS]
Hello!
Oh, wh-what's wrong?
Evan cheated on Bree.
What?
Oh
Did he s-s-say with who?
Just some random girl
at the end of last year.
[PIPPA SIGHS]
Oh, my God.
The fuck.
Are you okay?
I just
I can't fucking believe it.
We'll stay in tonight
and have a girl's night.
- Yeah, yeah.
- No, no. You should go to the party.
Fuck that. We are not leaving you here.
Honestly, I just wanna be alone
and be depressed.
Okay, fine.
Then, we'll be depressed together
because we are not leaving you here alone.
Hey, would you get me a water?
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
Lucy, I do not wanna be
babied by Pippa all night.
You have to go to the party
and take her with you.
Okay, that's literally the best thing
that you can do for me.
- Hey No prob.
- Thank you.

h-hasn't been answering my calls.
I tried him a couple times.
- It's probably better to just leave it?
- [SIGHS]
I mean, he's my little brother. You know?
I know, but I think he's made it clear
he's not ready to talk.
You're just gonna piss him off
if you keep reaching out.
Just let him reach out to you.
Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right.
- Uh, that flip phone's making me sad.
- Me, too.
Maybe Diana's dad'll
get you another iPhone.
- [SHUTS PHONE]
- Lucy was the one that broke it.
She smashed it.
What?
She was having a tantrum, and
- she smashed it.
- Wow.
Okay. I didn't know she had it in her.
That's not impressive, Wrigley.
No, I know. I'm just saying that, um
- Wh-What did Diana say?
- [STEPHEN] I didn't tell her.
I don't wanna make it a thing, you know?
Right.
What?!
I'm just surprised you

Well, for what it's worth,
most guys are their worst
behaved at your age.
Him cheating doesn't have
anything to do with you.
I really don't expect
a lot from most people,
but I did with him.
I just, I keep thinking
that it's something I did.
If someone is capable of
doing something to one person,
then they are capable
of doing it to anyone.
- I don't know.
- Oh, I do.
I mean, whether or not
they actually do it,
that's just a matter of timing, but
it's definitely nothing you did.
Don't know if that's
supposed to make me feel better or worse.
Well, you know,
on the plus side, you're young,
you're at this whatever point
in your life.
- Whatever point?
- The things that are happening to you now,
these things are short, they're temporary.
They might seem like everything,
but then you get some distance,
and later on when you're
faced with experiences
that are actually terrible,
you'll look back at this and you'll laugh.
You think there's
a minimum age requirement
for people to have terrible experiences?
No. No, but I think your understanding
of the word "terrible"
changes the older you get.
Maybe for some people.
I've always had a pretty good
understanding of the word.
Okay.
When I walked in here before,
I didn't say that this was
the worst day of my life.
I said this was my worst day in a decade.
That's because the first decade
was way worse
than anything some college boy
could do to me.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm sorry.
- That's fine.
- No, I-I sometimes forget
I don't have to sound like
someone's professor all the time.
Yeah. [GIGGLES] Well
you're not my professor, so cut it out.
Noted. [WEAK LAUGH]
Were you this serious
when you were my age?
I was practically married
when I was your age. Well,
couple of years older maybe.
My first marriage.
- Your first marriage.
- Mm-hmm.
- So, you're currently on
- My second marriage.
Were you just too young
the first time around?

and I-I'm so, so sorry.
- I love you so much.
- You're being serious right now?
Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
- So what, did you, like, kiss someone?
So, you slept with someone?
Who was it?
Nobody.
I was wasted. It was some random girl.
Why would you
Why would you do that? I
Did I do something wrong?
No, Bree, it wasn't your fault at all.
It was all me, okay?
I'm so sorry. I-I love you so much.
So, this is why you've
been so weird all summer.
And then kept telling me
that I was being weird.
I just spent the last three months
thinking that I did something wrong
and you allowed me to
think that it was me!
I didn't mean to.
And then, you buy me these insane earrings
because you feel guilty?
And then, you make me feel bad
for not liking your pity gift!
- Bree, wait. Stop, please.
- No!
I don't wanna be in
the same room as you right now.
- Are you breaking up with me?
- I don't know.

Uh, nothing, man.
They're just practicing at 6:00 a.m.

because all I do is sit there and watch.
Hey, if you gimme a little bit
of time here to study
and then I'll take the night off.
- Really?
- Yeah, but you have to be quiet.
And then, I gotta talk to a professor

Then, we'll be depressed together

Hey, would you get me a water?

of doing it to anyone.

they actually do it,

it's definitely nothing you did.

supposed to make me feel better or worse.

on the plus side, you're young,
you're at this whatever point

- The things that are happening to you now,
these things are short, they're temporary.
They might seem like everything,
but then you get some distance,
and later on when you're
faced with experiences
that are actually terrible,
you'll look back at this and you'll laugh.
You think there's
a minimum age requirement
for people to have terrible experiences?
No. No, but I think your understanding
of the word "terrible"
changes the older you get.
Maybe for some people.
I've always had a pretty good
understanding of the word.
Okay.
When I walked in here before,
I didn't say that this was
