Word: Generation Q
What if we bring to
light everyday queer stories?
I love it.
I did have something
to do with your breakup.
I care about you, Tess.
If you offered a real opportunity,
I would find that hard to pass up.
My donor, he's in kidney failure,
- and he needs a kidney.
- No.
- Shouldn't we hear her out?
- Look, you don't have
- a say in this.
- Babe, babe
That Bette, I don't how you
- ever married her.
- What?
We have to try to make this work.
- I'm just so pissed.
- You got through it.
Now we can focus on more fun stuff.
We're open to you
reaching out to Marcus.
Finley's not that bad.
- I know that. I love her.
- So do I.
I want you, Finley, I want you! ♪
- Oh, my excuse me.
- Dani? Dani
- I want to dance with you.
- Yeah. Of course. Yeah.
Not as friends.
Oh, fuck.
I told you I'd let
you know if my feelings
for you changed, and they have.
Ooh, fuck.
Ooh!
Should we, like
drink water or eat or something?
Yeah, yeah.
- Probably should.
- Okay.
But wait, wait. Maybe not.
Maybe not.
Tom's kind of great. No.
- I got it.
- No, no.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'm happy for you, Alice.
- You seem pretty smitten.
- Well, we'll see.
I mean, it has been a very
nice way to move on from Nat.
- Mm
- And Gigi?
Is probably playing head
games with someone else.
Yeah, yeah.
Did I summon them?
Oh, fuck.
They're both here? That is so gay.
You know what's super weird?
It's like together,
they're one big, giant ex.
But then one of them is your ex,
and then one of them is my ex.
Well, actually, the
other one is also my ex.
Yeah, well, it's really
some of your finest work.
Thank you.
Oh, shoot, I've-I've ignored him twice.
I've got to get this call.
- Hi, Isaac.
- Hey, Bette. I'm gonna go say hi
to be nice. I'll meet you by the car.
Okay. Be strong.
You're moving on. No, not you, Isaac.
- Hi!
- Hi.
What are you doing here?
I was having brunch with Bette inside.
- Oh. Wow. Great.
- Yeah.
- How are you?
- Good. Good-good.
- Very, very, very good.
- Good?
- Yeah.
- Good. Yeah. Me, too.
And I'm just here with Gigi going over
the schedule. We're not, you know,
- together.
- I didn't think you guys were.
- Yeah, I wasn't
- Yeah, I hope you don't
think that. It's just logistics.
Right, I know how you love those.
- Yeah.
- Yep.
- Okay, good seeing you.
- Yeah.
- It was great.
- Good to see you.
- Okay.
- This is nice.
- Mm-hmm, it's
great. Okay. - Okay.
- All right. Bye.
- Later, later.
- So how was that?
- That was nice?
Hmm.
Um that's new.
You got some new moves, huh?
Yeah. You like that?
Um
Oh, yeah!
I'm excited for
our charity event tonight.
Yeah, so I'm thinking
we do a $1K buy-in.
And then we can donate ten
percent to the MS Society.
It's amazing.
- You like it?
- Yeah, it's great.
Like, I
- feel like I'm gonna cry.
- No, no.
Don't, don't do that.
Okay, I won't.
But seriously?
Thank you for doing this for me.
- It's my pleasure, Tess.
- Okay. Um
I'm gonna go hang out with
my anonymous friends now.
- Okay.
- I'll call you after.
- Have a good meeting.
- Thank you.
Christ.
I don't know.
Maybe hearing about
what my donor's parents
did for a living would be cool.
Maybe, but are you sure
you want it to be so formal?
With, like, written-out
questions and everything?
Well, yeah. 'Cause what
if I freeze and forget
everything I wanted to ask him?
I guess.
Do you like this look?
Hmm?
- There's a suit version, too.
- Yeah.
So cute.
I just may not get another
chance 'cause I don't know
if my moms will let me
see him more than once.
Uh-huh.
Do you think he would tell me if he's
ever been arrested or
what his biggest regret is?
Oh, my God. What if he,
like, killed someone?
That'd be nuts.
Yeah. Totally.
Hey, you're def gonna come hang out
at the park tomorrow night, right?
For sure.
Cool.
- Are you?
- See ya.
Okay.
Bye.
Hi.
You came.
You said you had a real
offer, so here I am.
Can I get you some water or coffee?
No, thanks.
Just
Well, the CAC
is mounting a group
show of artists of color
whose work addresses Black Lives Matter.
- Hmm.
- I pitched the idea
of building the show around you.
Did they laugh in your face?
They most certainly did not.
I think I'll take that water now.
This is a good thing.
This is a museum show.
Guaranteed.
I, um
I was promised the world when I was 22.
I was a kid.
And I actually felt like I deserved it.
You did deserve it.
Then and now.
I had to walk away, though.
Before I ever had a chance
to really settle into my work.
- I mean, you were so young.
- Right.
And my whole sense of my self
was wrapped up in my work.
There was no separation.
So any kind of rejection was personal.
- Deep.
- I can understand that.
But now here we are,
30 years, pounds later
walking into this office,
hearing the great Bette Porter
say to me that, that
I can have it all back
if I get back on that ride.
You don't have to take that ride alone.
I will protect you.
I need you to understand
that I don't know
if I would survive that journey again.
I bare my soul in my work.
- My soul.
- I know that.
'Cause I can feel it.
Please.
Let me take care of it.
'Cause, truly, nothing
nothing has ever
made me feel so
seen as your work.
And that includes the new work.
I mean, you-you are reckoning
with your own queerness
and your own Blackness
in-in ways that I have
barely begun to unpack for myself.
I do it all for my son.
Whether she knows it or not, I
do everything for my daughter.
Okay.
"Okay," what?
Okay, I'm in.
I know.
I know, I can't believe it, either.
Yes, okay, yes.
We'll-we'll work out the logistics.
Yeah, I know it's gonna
be a quick turnaround,
- but we'll get it done.
-
All right, talk soon. Bye.
Hi, Carrie.
We're all suckers for a
good love story, right?
Well, these two
almost make me believe that
if you find the right one,
it can last a lifetime.
So it is my pleasure to introduce you
to Patty and June Healey-Waters.
This is the Quiet Rebellion.
I know you've been
together for 43 years,
but I don't know how it all started.
- Well
- I-I was a mail carrier.
And I had an apartment on Gardner.
- What are you doing?
- Hi.
We got to get out
there. We're missing it.
No, no. It's playing right here.
- Oh, God. Everything's wet.
- Oh.
I feel like my socks are
fucking plastered to my leg.
Get it off me.
- So gross.
- Ow!
- Ooh, oof!
- I'm sorry.
Okay.
Oh, God, ugh.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Oh, God, you look good.
We can stay back here, okay?
What are you talking about?
I want to see everybody
flipping out for you.
Oh, but what if it doesn't go well?
What, are you scared?
Of course I'm scared.
This is the moment of
my professional life.
I mean millions of people are
gonna see this thing that I made.
Hey. Hey, they're gonna
love it. Come here.
They are.
- Hey, you want to know why?
- Hmm?
It's important.
And it's also really fucking good.
- That's nice.
- It's true.
You're the bestest and the smartest.
- Yeah? Okay.
- Yeah, you know that.
Say more stuff.
And the sexiest.
And the best kisser.
Mm-hmm.
I'm so glad you enjoyed
that as much as I did.
Would you like to see more of those?
Okay, because my producer Sophie Suarez
worked her ass off on that segment,
and I am so proud of her,
so let's all give her
a big round of applause!
All right, everybody, that's our show.
And always remember, stay gay
and say no to patchouli. Thank you!
That was good, Alice. Really good.
Real? Oh, listen. I
can't take all the credit.
I have to give it to Sophie.
I'd like to congratulate her myself.
Okay, oh, great, great, great, come on.
Uh, listen, she would love that,
because she's kind of shitting
bricks in the greenroom,
and she'll be really relieved.
I always find if you surround yourself
with a more youthful staff,
it just kind of brings
a life and, and an energy
to the show that I
- Oh, shit.
- Everything okay?
Yeah, they're naked. They're, um
uh um
They're totally exposed.
Emotionally.
Oh, okay.
Well, maybe I can come back.
You know what? Now's not
a good time, but call
So I walk
by the car thank you car window
- Chicken?
- Sí, señora.
- Thank you.
- Walk by the car window
and I see her fucking head
popping out of the sunroof.
Oh, my God.
No, I literally
It took everything in me
not to knock on the window
and fuck with Alice a little.
You absolutely should've done it.
I mean, there will be plenty of chances.
That woman's love for
public sex knows no bounds.
So, we gonna talk about the other night?
I was hoping to just
skip over it, actually.
Okay.
She's a "lock it in the closet
and throw away the key" type.
My favorite.
No, I just
Um
If you don't feel the
same way, that's okay.
I'm a big girl.
I can handle it.
No, I just thought it was
kind of shitty, actually.
Me telling you I have
feelings for you was shitty?
Well
I had a fucking horrible night.
To see the two of them like that, it
- Mm-hmm.
- And then
you made me feel good.
But then I needed a friend.
So we're friends?
It-It's all just too fast.
- Okay. We can slow down.
- And it's Bette.
I don't think she'll care.
I would never want someone to
feel the way I did when Sophie
I don't think Bette had
very strong feelings for me.
I find that hard to believe.
If that's what this is really about,
you need to talk to her.
Hey, guys, what the fuck?!
Barry wanted to see you.
My God. He did?
I-I'm sorry.
Look, I'm so sorry. I-I-I just
got really nervous and then
Can this just be my fault?
I don't even work here anymore.
What is it about that couch?
Well, I think it's less about the couch
and more about the location of the room.
Right? I'll stop talking.
You know what, I like you two together.
I do. Big fan.
I just want to see less of it.
- We can do that.
- Copy. Less.
Febreze the shit out of
that couch before you leave.
- Absolutely.
- Copy. Febreze-ing.
Jordi's amazing for so many reasons.
But it-it just feels like we're
dealing with different stuff.
Mm. Like with my dad?
Exactly.
In the beginning she was cool.
But now she just seems preoccupied
with other stuff. Like prom and parties.
That seems kind of fun, actually.
Yeah, no, totally.
Um but earlier today,
I was trying to think of
questions to ask your dad
for when I meet him, which
you would think would be easy,
but it's actually super hard.
Well, if you want, I
can answer anything.
Or if you want help thinking of
questions, I could do that, too.
Yes, that's the type of stuff
I want her to say, but
- she just
- She doesn't.
Yeah.
Have you ever broken
up with somebody before?
Mm-mm.
Oh, man.
What do you want for dinner?
Uh
I could do Chinese,
pizza, mac and cheese.
- Your call.
- Do you know how to cook?
Yeah, I can make
stuff. What do you want?
No, I just
want to know if you can feed yourself.
Oh, I see.
Like a test.
No, that's not what I meant.
Think I'm like a big kid, don't you?
Well, you
kind of, sort of are.
Look, I know I'm not
as grown up as Dani.
- Okay.
- Or whatever, but my parents
kicked me out when I was 18, so
sort of different circumstances.
I never compared you to her, okay?
- Would never do that.
- It's fine, whatever.
If you got doubts about
me, I want to know.
I don't, okay?
It's just
- I
- What?
Look, we just know each
other in, you know, one
way, and I'm trying
to get to know you
in a different way.
Okay. What do you want to know?
I'm an open book.
Okay well
hmm.
Do you want kids?
Hell yes. Like a fuck-ton of 'em.
- Okay.
- What else you got?
Well what about
career ambitions?
Uh
I'm hoping this reffing kids' soccer
kind of turns into a real thing.
But
I'm also down to be a
stay-at-home baby daddy.
And, yes, before you even ask,
of course you can be my sugar mama.
Ooh okay.
What, you want me to
go to an online college?
Get a degree in the medical field?
I can do that.
- I've seen the commercials.
- Mm-hmm.
Uh, or I can, uh,
donate my body to science.
You know, bunch of blood
donating, medical trials.
Oh, I don't know why
I'm so stressed out.
I just want everything to be perfect.
I promise you it's
gonna be a great night.
I just want to move to an
island somewhere, you know?
Yeah? I don't know, I've always thought
about moving to the mountains in
Colorado.
That's the exact opposite of an island.
It's not gonna rain, is it?
I don't know, it might.
Well, what do we do if it does?
We get wet.
- Wow, look at this.
- Hey.
All right.
Look at us, all on time and shit.
- Oh, you like that?
- So responsible.
Look at that.
- Hey.
- Oh, no.
It's nice to see you two dressed up.
Or wearing anything, really.
Oh. Good one. Yeah, we deserve that.
Uh, well, thanks for being so cool.
I was just really horrified
by the whole thing.
Oh, my God, I've done
worse, first of all.
But there's a lot of
network people here,
so you can make nice.
- Okay. That's awesome.
- Sounds good.
Yeah, we got it.
Wow! Hi. Okay.
Are you, are you two?
We j Us? We just
hang out and stuff.
Oh. Yep.
Just hanging.
- Okay
- Sounds totally believable.
- Hey.
- Pretty much all we do.
So glad you guys made it.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- And you made it.
- Yes.
- Hi. Good to see you.
- Been a while, yeah.
Yeah, it has. Happy to be here.
Okay, well, I live to mingle.
Really ready to work
this room, so, um
We're gonna grab a drink, yeah.
Great. You crazy kids
have fun, though, huh?
Well, I'm, uh, gonna go to the bathroom.
Okay.
What's up with that?
- Nothing.
- Right.
Just two friends sharing
their love of trashy TV.
- You come in the same car?
- Yes. For the environment.
We're very into charity.
Oh, God.
Okay, it's just sex.
Look, I just, I hope you
both are on the same page.
Otherwise that's gonna get messy.
I know, I know.
But it's casual. It's really casual.
- That's good. What does Tom think?
- What are you, Oprah?
Well, fuck me for caring
about your well-being.
Jesus.
Oh, Al.
What?
- Look, look.
- What?
- Oh, my God.
- That has to be Pippa.
That has to be her.
Finally.
Oh, there they are.
Hey!
Alice, Shane, this is Pippa Pascal.
- Hi! Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- It is so nice to finally meet you.
- Oh, well, thank you
for allowing me to crash
your marvelous event.
Of course. I'm glad you could make it.
It's a really nice place
to bring a date, you know?
- Good lighting, romantic
- Um, actually
we are out celebrating the fact
that Pippa has agreed
to sign with the gallery.
- That's huge.
- Oh, congratulations.
Thank you, thank you very much.
No, thank you, 'cause this one,
she goes on and on and on and
on and on and on about you.
- Alice.
- Please tell me, I would love
- to hear more about that.
- I mean, that was just going on
- for months, right?
- I would say years.
- No ha, years.
- Definitely years.
"I wish she'd notice me. What can I do?"
- That sounds
- No.
Is that Carrie?
Oh. Yeah. She called and
asked if she could come,
even though Tina was out
of town. I couldn't say no.
Very nice of you.
There's no reason we
can't all get along.
- At separate tables.
- I got it covered.
We're gonna go try to find our table.
Very nice meeting you both.
- You, too.
- Pleasure to meet you, Pippa.
So, years, huh?
Well, I like her.
I have a really good
feeling about those two.
Yeah.
You ever seen Dumb and Dumber?
- No. Why?
- Shane.
- No reason.
- Shane.
Hi. Uh, I got to run inside.
See you in a bit.
Oh, yeah. Do your
thing. Hey, where's Nat?
Do y? Is there, like, a
long line for the bathroom?
- Bathroom's right there.
- Alice?
- Hmm?
- Hey.
- Oh, hey, Carrie.
- How are you?
- Good.
- Good.
- You look great.
- Thank you.
I just wanted you to know
I love the show this season.
- It's fantastic.
- Aw, that's really sweet.
I mean, a lesbian talk show host?
- That's me.
- It's unprecedented.
I know Well, there's Ellen.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.
But, yeah, after that,
I can't think of anyone.
It was like road wide open.
No, you're, like, paving
the way for everybody.
- Yeah.
- It's ama It means a lot
to a lot of people.
It means a lot to me.
Thank you. Have you been to a talk show?
- Never.
- I can get you tickets.
- Are you kidding?
- No. I could do I mean,
- I could call my producer and
- Oh, I would love it.
- Oh
- That's something. What?
I have to go to the bathroom.
I have to go to the bathroom.
- Okay, nature calls. I get it.
- Um
- listen, say hi to Tina.
- I will.
And also I'm gonna
get you those tickets.
Thank you so much, Alice.
- And a mug, if you want a mug.
- I'd love a mug.
- You think Alice is the top?
- No, Nat is in charge in the house.
- No. What? I can't picture that.
- Yeah.
- I thought she was fucking Tom.
- Me, too.
I was just gonna ask her how
riding the "D" was, but she
- Oh, God.
- Sophie!
- There you are.
- Barry, hi.
I'm sorry I missed you the other day.
I know, I'm sorry that
I missed you, really.
The segment is phenomenal.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'm-I'm super proud of it.
But, really, I wanted to thank
you for giving me the freedom
to-to find it, you know?
It's been super fulfilling, and
- I'm Sarah Finley.
- Barry.
Hey, I got an Uncle Barry.
Nowhere near as
good-looking as you, though.
I promise.
I, uh, I-I watched Sophie
put that segment together,
and I was blown away.
Uh, she's you know,
heart-in-my-gut kind of feeling.
- Thanks, babe.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Of course.
- You know, I responded to it,
too, which I think is impressive
considering I'm not exactly the, uh
- target audience.
- Right, 'cause you're
a straight white man in America, Barry?
- Oh!
- Hey, it's okay.
You can say it. We're in a safe
space, here, Bar.
Looks like we're running low.
Why don't you let me
buy you two a round?
Absolutely.
That's for you. Thanks so much.
- Thank you.
- Carrie.
- Hey, Shane.
- How you doing?
I'm good, thank you. How are you?
- I'm good.
- Great.
It's a beautiful evening. You
made this place look so great.
Yeah.
I don't like small talk. I just
wanted to check to see how you are.
- Me?
- Yeah, you.
I'm good. Really great.
Thank you. This actually helps
take the edge off a
little bit, right here.
- Full disclosure, Carrie.
- Yeah.
Um, took a friend to an AA meeting.
And I saw you there.
I know it's not my business, I just
I love Tina. She's family, so
- if there's anything I can do
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I was there for my OA meeting.
You know, for eating, not for drinking.
At least not yet.
Slippery slope. I am
allowed to have these.
96 calories. Vodka soda.
Cheers.
I am sorry, Carrie. I misunderstood.
No, no, yeah, I get it. I mean,
I would've thought the same thing.
You know, come on.
I'm a 60-year-old woman
who's been on
antidepressants half her life.
You know? It's got to be booze or food.
It's not gonna be sex, you know?
Although I've seen that bunch,
and they are not what you would expect.
Not my business either way.
I just, I want you to have a good night,
and-and just know the
secret's safe with me, okay?
Okay. Actually, Shane, it's
not really a secret, you know?
My life is kind of an open book.
Yeah, you know, I haven't been, uh
feeling like myself.
I've needed to go to a meeting
as I try to navigate your world.
- My world? What world?
- Well, um
like you, you know,
just you all, I mean
- Tina's friends and trying to
- Right.
- Right.
- Fit in.
It won't surprise you,
I don't think, to hear
that I'm still sort of
struggling with Bette Porter.
Yeah.
Look, that's a, uh
delicate situation,
and you just have to give it time.
Just every time I'm around
her, Shane, I feel like
I'm a different species, you know?
- You're not.
- I mean, I just,
if she got to know me,
I think she would really like me.
You got to give it time, all right?
- All right.
- Just-just be patient.
Yeah, I just feel like
I really want to try,
because, I mean,
something's got to change.
- Go slow, all right?
- Okay.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Yes, yes. Okay.
- Thank you. All right.
- Have a good night, Carrie.
- I'll see you downstairs.
- Can I get another one quick?
Okay, I can do this.
We can still be friends.

Will you go to prom with me?
Yes. Yes.
Oh, my God.
- Hey, Bette.
- Hey, Carrie.
Mind if I join you tonight?
Oh, I would have loved that.
But I'm here with a friend actually.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Okay.
It's so funny, I just
had a total flashback
of my high school in Staten Island,
that when I would ask all the cool girls
if I could sit with them at lunch,
they would just, like, you know,
whisper, "She's such a dyke."
Oh, God. I'm so sorry.
That was obviously not my intention.
Oh, no, I didn't mean that.
- At all.
- No, no, I know. Yeah.
Well, if it's any
consolation, I mean, I had
a similar experience
- but it was soccer camp.
- Yeah.
There were two girls,
and they would whisper
"Nigger dyke" behind my back.
They'd try to get me to sit in the back
of the bus as some kind of joke.
Wow.
Okay.
But it pissed me off, I got MVP.
No, good for you.
Anyway, we don't need to compete at
- the oppression Olympics, do we?
- No, no!
- Not at all, definitely not.
- No. Right. Good.
'Cause my plan was just to
sort of hang out with you
tonight and see if we could
maybe bond, you and me.
Uh, well, as I said,
I'm-I'm here with a friend,
so tonight's not really the night.
Seriously?
Really?
Look, I-I know I've
been harsh in the past.
Um, and out of respect for Tina
and you and my love for Angie,
I'm-I'm completely happy
to be totally civil.
But I-I think anything beyond that
is just totally unnecessary, you know?
Okay?
You know what, Bette?
On the way here tonight,
I was feeling really good.
You know, I had, like,
a bounce in my step.
I got this new outfit on, and
then I was up there and I saw you.
I just want you to know,
it does not feel good to be around you.
It really doesn't.
Feels like I'm a kid
in some kind of trouble.
Okay, that, to me,
sounds like that's your baggage.
- Okay. That's a good point.
- Yeah.
That's a really good point. I
I guess
that I just wanted
your, um, your blessing.
Maybe your just
acceptance would be nice.
You know what, if you think
what you have with Tina
is working, and you feel
really good about it,
then I don't see why you would care
what I think about you.
Right?
- Right.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Am I interrupting?
No. Not at all.
You have a good night, Carrie.
Here you go.
- Cheers.
- Yeah, indeed.
Hey!
Oh, Dani.
- Hey.
- Hi, we were just, um
In the stall together.
Yeah, that, uh, tracks actually.
You might want to get a
really good lather on those.
Is Gigi here with you?
No.
No, we're not
I actually wanted to ask Bette
whether she'd have a problem
if Gigi and I were to
- Oh. No, no, no, no.
- Oh!
I don't think she'd mind at all.
I don't think so. Yeah, not at all.
In fact, if you think
Gigi's gonna work for you,
I mean, you know, I'd be grateful.
You know?
We'd be grateful, I
think, is what she means.
Yeah, well, they just broke up,
so I want to be respectful.
No, I don't think she would mind.
Not a bit.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
And, for what it's worth,
um, Gigi's really into you.
- Oh.
- Yeah, I had lunch with her
the other day, and I haven't seen her
like this in a long time.
That's true.
Yeah.
Hey.
I come in peace.
Oh, boy.
Look, dude, I'm so fucking sorry.
- No, you're not.
- No, I am. Like
I hope I didn't
you know, fuck you up.
That's generous of you.
You're, like I-I'm
trying to be an adult,
and you're, like, the
most adult person I know.
I think that says more
about you than it does me.
But we're, like, the same age.
And I think the similarities end there.
You're also scary, really scary.
But I mean that as, like, a compliment.
Like, I think you're good at that.
Finley, what? What?
I just, I, um
I want to be better.
Like, how do I get it together?
Get a job?
Don't steal people's fiancées?
Yeah. I don't think that's it
Okay, I don't fucking know, then.
I'm so sick of people
thinking I have it together.
Because all that means is that
unlike you
people aren't inclined to
hold me when I need it most.
And if you ever use that
against me, so help me God,
I will actually kill you.
Can I hug you?
No.
Go get your girlfriend.
It's a good thing
that this is a charity,
or I'd pissed about
losing all that money.
Oh, no, no. It was
completely worth it to me.
- Really?
- To see you out of your element.
- Oh, my God. Really?
- Yeah. Oh, no.
I have a very deep sense of relief
that you are very bad at something.
Oh, that just, that's not even fair.
Yeah, I'm not even ashamed to admit it.
- Wow. Not even ashamed?
- No.
Let's get out of here.
Yeah, we went there, like, every summer.
Tell me you went to the
taco place over by the wharf.
Constantly. Oh, my God, it's amazing.
- Okay, I was working there.
- When?
- Every day.
- Really? Oh, my God.
We probably crossed paths. That's crazy.
- Thank you.
- Well
- Nice meeting you.
- It was a pleasure.
Oh, my God, that woman
at the bar asked me
if I thought you
looked like Alice on TV.
That's funny. What'd you say?
I said you were much prettier.
That's sweet.
So, do you want to finish these
and then go back to my place?
Aren't the kids, um,
with the sitter tonight?
Yeah.
I It's, like, the sneaking
around thing we're doing,
it's, like, fun and it's
sexy, but I just, I don't know.
All right, well, we don't have to.
Oh, God.
What is it?
Well, don't make me tell you
why this isn't gonna work.
But I thought
- we were doing this.
- What's changed?
- Nothing.
- Nothing.
- Right. Nothing's changed.
- So
So why would you?
I don't know. I It felt
familiar, it felt good.
Right. It felt good.
So why-why would we stop that?
- You know exactly why.
- I don't. No
I don't know.
You know why.
- Are you gonna cry?
- No.
No, don't cry.
Butch up a little.
Sorry.
Don't make me laugh.
Okay, I won't.
Okay, but you were acting so weird.
Yeah, 'cause I didn't want
to, like, blow the surprise.
Oh, yeah, it was definitely a surprise.
There was a lot going on.
It was awesome.
And honestly I'm kind of relieved.
What do you mean?
I thought it was
getting down to the wire.
And I thought I was gonna
have to go to prom alone.
Shut up.
Excuse me?
- Hi.
- Hello. I would still like
to play some more poker.
There's nobody here.
Oh, um, we're actually wrapping up
- for the night.
- Yeah? Oh, oh, oh!
I'm not done with that.
Right there. Thank you.
Wow, everybody's just
buzzing around here.
You know me? Did we meet?
- Yeah, we met earlier.
- Yeah, I'm Carrie.
- I'm an, I'm an attorney.
- Hi. Hi.
- Yeah, I'm a lawyer, so
- That's great.
I passed the bar in two states actually.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah, so, I have the money
and everything, and I would
like to play some more.
It's kind of late, though.
Um, maybe I could call
you a Lyft or something?
That would be very good
because my phone isn't working
because I don't know the password.
- Hey, Carrie.
- Hi, Shane.
- How you feeling?
- I feel all right.
Yeah?
I bumped into Bette Porter.
Yeah?
And?
It did not go good.
I'm sorry, Carrie.
Me, too, Shane.
Me, too, but I'm just gonna
I'm just gonna forget it ever happened.
- Are you okay?
- No, I'm fine.
I'm fine. I'm absolutely fine.
Maybe we should take her home.
I mean, I don't want her
throwing up in a Lyft.
Okay, so she can throw up in my car?
I mean
Phone, can you tell me my password?
- Carrie, Carrie.
- Yes?
How about we go home, hmm?
- When? Now?
- Now. I'm gonna drive you home.
- You are?
- Yeah, don't worry about that.
- You're gonna drive me home?
- Yeah, you're on the way.
- Thank Whoa!
- Oh. You good?
- Oh, no. I'm okay.
- Okay.
That was surprising.
Okay, all right, just through
that door right over there.
- Okay.
- You have everything?
- Will you get the chips for me?
- I didn't bring my chips.
- No, no. No, no, no, no
- I have my chips.
- I'm gonna take care, I
got it. - Tess-Tess has your,
- has your chips.
- I'll take care of it.
I did something naughty.
I talked to Dani.
What?!
- You did wh?
- Yeah, I did.
- No.
- I did.
I told her I was sorry
I fucked up her life.
Oh, my God
I know. It's bad, it's bad.
I just, I want it to be better for you.
That's so wrong.
What are you talking about?
I want to, like, you know,
fucking love you better, and
I felt like she might have
a heads-up on how to do that.
Oh, come on, she doesn't
know how to do that.
- Hey.
- Okay.
You love me better than anyone.
All right? You don't know that?
- No, I guess I
- What?
- Stop.
- You're drunk.
You are so charming.
Yeah, but not in, like, a good way.
Oh, come on, you charmed
the pants off of Barry.
I told him he was
good-looking. That's not
Yes. Yes. And he loved it.
And you were just yourself.
You know, that's hard to
do. I can't do that shit.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Mm.
I lose myself all the time.
Ooh. I lose myself at work
I lost myself with Dani.
But with you, it's just
I can just be myself with you.
And I
I don't have to think about it.
Mm. You're perfect.
Okay.
You're so perfect.
Mmm, you trying to stick some
tongue in, in a parking lot?
Hell yeah.
Mm. Mm-mm.
You're drunk, dude.
Mm
You're drunk!
You're drunk.
- Oh, did you, did I finish this?
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Yeah. That act
this actually checks out.
Are you okay to drive?
'Cause I'm I'm about to barf.
- Shit.
- Yeah, I got it, drunkie.
- You got this?
- Get in the car. You got it?
- Yeah.
- It's a long ten feet.
- You sure you can make it?
- I yeah.
Take your first left.
You're a lot more
dramatic than I thought.
I couldn't ask Bette.
Okay.
She seemed like she
had something going on.
- Bad timing.
- Yeah. Exactly.
And
I saw Nat and Alice.
Oh.
I mean
who are you?
You know who I am.
But why have you been
with everybody I know?
- Oh.
- I'm sorry, but
No, that is such an exaggeration.
I know, I know, but can I trust you?
I'd like to think so.
Because
I've been hurt.
What do you want?
Huh?
Is this real?
Are you real?
Come in.
Come in.
I can't. I can't.
Not yet.
It's real.
It's very real.
Jesus.
- Hey.
- Hi. Okay.
- Here, can you hold that?
- Yeah. I got it.
- Hey, Carrie.
- Do you need some help, sweetie?
- I love Tina.
- Take that, take that.
Hey, I know, I know you do.
- I love Angie.
- I know. I do, too.
- She's the greatest, isn't she?
- She's the greatest.
- All right, watch
- She's the best.
- Yeah.
- Everyone else is
I don't know, you
people are so beautiful.
I'm not like you guys.
Oh, no, no. Don't say that,
Carrie. Watch your step.
Watch your step. All
right, there's one more
- I'm all right.
- Okay.
Oh, boy. I wanted Bette to
say that I was good enough.
But I don't even think I'm good enough.
So why did I do that?
You know? Do you think I'm good enough?
Oh. Yes, we do. You're
just drunk, sweetie.
- Yeah, yeah.
- No. This is not just tonight.
People have always thought
that I'm sort of a problem.
Look, Carrie, we all feel
that way at some point.
We're gonna get you settled
and warm, and I promise
you it's gonna be okay.
Yeah, we're gonna get you water
- and a-a cozy bed.
- Yeah, yeah.
I don't think you guys understand.
You know?
I just can't live like this
the rest of my life.
I don't think I can marry Tina.
Okay, wait for me.
I'm gonna come get you.
All right, you go on ahead.
- You go in.
- Okay.
Oh, th Oh!
This is, uh, Kismet Russell's latest.
"Color Conversion." Okay.
All right, and now
What, uh, what are you?
Wait. You'll see. You'll see.
Oh, damn.
Oh.
Let there be light, yo.
I love it.
It's
It's amazing.
Yeah.
- Ah. Poor thing.
- I know.
- Were you that kind of drunk?
- Oh, no.
- I was much worse than that.
- Really?
Oh, yeah. No, come on.
She didn't break a bone
or a dish.
Well, look, seriously, thank you.
I truly couldn't have done that alone.
Shane.
- What?
- What?
- I can't look at you?
- Shit.
God, you're so hot.
Oh, now I know you're drunk.
No, I really mean it. You are.
I want you.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
- Like now.
- Oh, shit.
That feel good?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
Pull over.
Oh, my God!
What?
Oh, Christ, this fucking button.
Oh, man.
God, do you think they can see in here?
I think I have some hand
sanny in the glove compartment.
Fuck, I don't. Okay, that's fine.
Whatever. You can talk
your way out of anything.
You're okay.
You're okay, right?
Right?
