VINCE: Do you remember our old
English teacher, Big Booty Judy?
[all groan]
JULIO: Big-ass nalgas.
Whatever happened to her?
She died.

FELIPE: Damn.
Yeah, I guess that ass finally quit.
[laughter]
[coughing]
- JULIO: Oh, shit.
- What the fuck?
JULIO: Dawg, what the fuck happened?
I went to go see Slayer last month
and I got my teeth knocked
out in the pit. [laughs]
Dawg, you're 33 and you're
still getting in the pit?
Fuck that, I can't do
standing-only shows anymore.
My knees need seats.
Hey, you wanna hit that, Julio?
Nah, I'm good with this.
Damn, all healthy and shit?
VINCE: Hey, respect.
I'm not touching anything either.
Christina broke up on my ass again
'cause I keep getting fucked up.
I'm trying to win her back,
so your boy's on good behavior.
Man, you've been saying
that shit since high school.
Fuck you, bitch.
Hey, Julio, you and
Maggie back together yet?
Nah, fool, we broke
up for real this time.
- Ohh.
- See, fool, I told you.
You owe me 20 bucks.
[Felipe chuckles]
What the fuck? You
fools were betting on me?
Shady-ass fools.
Alright, I gotta go pick up my kid.
Anyone wanna hit this before I go?
- No, fool, I'm good.
- Thanks, man.
- Fuck it, let me take one hit.

Nah, nah, nah, I'm not gonna
get cross-faded, relax, alright?

Should we kill her?
Yeah, maybe bury her
ass out in Palmdale?
Can we put her in your

Turn their body fat into soap.
Then lather ourselves up

Sounds like a spa day.
- Who do you know here?
- I work with Angie, she dragged me out.
This party's kinda lame, though.
Yeah, it is.
Why the fuck are we here?

Let's do it then, you ain't down.
Hey, playboy, I wanna play.
Oh, shit.
Damn, look at this fool coming

I've been on hold for an
hour and a fuckin' half
with the city already, so, no,
you may not put me on hold again
unless this is hell
and you're the devil,
in which case, go right ahead.
So you meet the kid yet?
Nah, it's chill.
There's no drama, you know.
Damn, you're like a dad already,
but you look like a grandpa.
And once you have kids of your own,
you're gonna give 'em
your shitty Jack disease.
Jack disease?
Dawg, you don't remember that movie Jack
starring that fool Mrs. Doubtfire,
where he's a little kid,
but he looks all old?
Shit is a underrated banger.
Damn, I wouldn't mind
having kids of my own.
[sighs] We could watch Jack together,
show 'em all the classics.
You can have my three
annoying-ass kids.
Them motherfuckers bad.
You have kids?
Damn, I didn't know that.
CHEF PERCY: Well, maybe you would
if you ask me something
about me every now and then.
All y'all do is talk about yourselves.
"My rooster" this, "my world
traveler girlfriend" that.
Sometimes hanging out with y'all

Hey, Teresa, don't kill

TERESA [over phone]: Listen,
Julio, I have a huge ask.
I-I've literally tried everybody
and I'm so sorry to call.
You okay? What's up?
TERESA: Do you think you
can pick Aurora up at school
and take her to soccer practice?
Wait, you're fucking with me, right?
TERESA: No, I'm for real.
I got a surprise mandatory
training session at work.
It's fucked up, but I won't be
available for the next few hours
and her fucking dad's not picking up.
[sighs] I'm so sorry.
I-I wouldn't be asking if you
weren't the absolute last resort.
Hey, no big deal.
All I gotta do is pick her
up and take her to practice?
TERESA: Oh, my God, thank you so much.
I'll call the school and tell them
you're coming and text you the info.
You got it. Hey, go get trained.
- TERESA: You're the best. Bye.
- Bye.
Julio, I need you to drive
me to the city permit office
to pick up our sidewalk dining license.
Actually, I can't, I'm
picking up Teresa's daughter.
Wait, the chick you're dating has a kid?
Yeah, but it's casual.
I'm just giving the
kid a ride, no big deal.
- No big deal?
- [dramatic music plays]
Are you fuckin' stupid?
- What?
- MINISTER PAYNE: Here's what's gonna happen.
You'll get close to the kid, then when
it doesn't work out with the mom, bam.
The kid is traumatized.
Years later, that kid's
gonna be in therapy
crying to some shrink about how
their life didn't turn out right
because their mom once dated a loser
who lived in a garage
and stunk up the bathroom.
I don't stink up the bathroom.
Julio, I live with you.
You're rotting from the inside.
Fuck, what do you think I should do?
Look, kids are like cops.
The less you have to deal
with them, the better.
So you maintain boundaries
with this kid, okay?
Don't get to know it.
Don't get too close to it.
Don't ask it any questions.
Don't even look it in the eyes.
Just keep it hydrated.
It'll be okay.
Okay, boundaries, got it.
And hydration.
Hydration is key.

JULIO: Boundaries,
and keep her hydrated.
Give her water, that's all you gotta do.
Fuck, why did I agree to do this?
I'm a fuckin' idiot.
I should throw myself off a bridge.
Are you Julio?
Yeah, are you Aurora?
- Yeah.

WOMAN [over radio]:
The advanced surgeons

That's just commercials.
JULIO: Yeah, but these are
my favorite commercials,
they're really good.
What do you do for work?
JULIO: Don't worry
about it. Drink water.
I'm not even thirsty.
You don't have to be
thirsty to drink water.
I wish I drank more
water when I was a kid.
I would have better skin.
- My skin is fine.
- Oh, lucky you.
Yeah, I am lucky.
Yeah, I know, I said that.
[indistinct chatter over radio]
- [softly] Weirdo.

Hey, just dropping her
off. What's going on?
Yeah, practice is canceled.
An airplane spilled jet
fuel all over the field.
- Wait, what?
- COACH: Yeah, it happens every couple years.
This neighborhood is
directly under a flight path.
But I mean, they can
still practice, right?
- I mean
- No.
The field is probably
all nice and lubricated.
Imagine how fast they'll be able to run.
You'll run really fast, huh?
COACH: Absolutely not.
The oil seeped into the ground
and now the field is a
mass grave for gophers.
They'd be stepping all
over them, tripping on 'em.
They would really
interfere with the game.
Gotta stop volunteering in
these shitty-ass neighborhoods.
Puta madre.
Hey, I'm gonna call your mom, okay?
Come on, let's go.
Hey! So, um, practice is canceled.
Um, so what ended up happening
was an airplane dumped like jet fuel
or some shit on the, on the field.
But we're all good here.
Nothing to worry about.
You know, it's not a big
deal. It's no big deal.
But, um, I'm just kind of, you
know, I'm wondering what to do.
So when you get a chance,
you know, give me a call.
But it's no big deal.
But just call me as soon as you
get this, but it's no big deal.
Okay.
Do you have keys to your house?

Good for you dating that woman.
Doing something good

It's not a big deal, huh?
No, it is a big deal, Julio.
This kid is a part of your life now.
You need to take that seriously.
Hey, you guys know that there's, like,
a female child in the living room?
I'll give you 20 bucks
if you look after her.
Money up front. Pay me, stupid.
Yeah, great, just pass her along
to be somebody else's problem.

- ROCIO: No drama?
There's a fucking preteen in there.
She's crying, I'm out.
She's crying?
Fuck.
Yeah, I'm taking Mom to the eye doctor.
Do the right thing, Julio,
you're a fucking dad now.

- What about you, still living with your mom?
Nah, I moved out.
Actually accomplished my dream
of opening up my own café.
You wanted to open up a café?
Yeah. You probably forgot all
those times I mentioned it to you.
MAGGIE: Hmm.
Why are you in a makeup store?
I'm actually a father now.
See that little girl over
there, Aurora, she's my daughter.
You know, I didn't post
about it on Instagram
because I don't need
the validation of likes.
Being a father is rewarding enough.
You mean stepdad?
Oh, she actually calls me Dad.
Why create boundaries?
Why don't you introduce me?
Oh, we're actually raising
her not to speak to strangers.
Ahh, lucky you know me then.
Lucky me. Oh.
I'm all done.
Hey, mija, this is my friend Maggie.
Hi, sweetie, you look so pretty.
Sorry you're stuck
with your stepdad today.
I'm actually having a great time.
Thanks again, Dad.
Well, what do we have here?
A princess in the makeup section?
What an honor.
Oh, and what's this?

Oh, actually I forgot
to eat lunch today.
I'm starving.

haven't gotten your eyeshadow yet.
They don't have my color, dear.

That is mascara.
You know what? I'll
leave you guys to it.
Good luck. Can't wait to
see the kids on Instagram.

Don't feel bad. It's not a big deal.

you for handling all this.

go wash up for dinner.
Thank you.
I guess I owe you now, huh?
Don't be a freak about it though.

I don't mind. You know,

I don't know. You like me.
Guess I'm just likable like that.
Aurora doesn't like anyone.
Must be my fun personality.
No, that's definitely not it.
Look this is turning into a big deal.
Wait, I thought you said
it wasn't a big deal.
TERESA: It wasn't, but now it is.
My kid liking you is a big deal.
My kid meeting your mom and asking you
to stay for dinner is a big deal.
There's a line we're about to cross.
So, either you stay for
dinner and it's a big deal
or you gotta go right now.
And if you gotta go, that's
fine, that's okay, really.
- I could tell her something else.
- I'll stay, all good.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Good.
Because I took a
pregnancy test this morning

What?
