This sucks, and I can't feel my ass.
Oh, I see.
Oh, Mr.

Yeah, I guess.
[laughter.]
I'm gonna see if this guy wants some.
- Buttermilk biscuit? Yeah.
- Really? - Yeah, thank you so much, man.
- Homemade.
There's probably a lot of butter.
Hey, can I actually get a hit off of that blunt? [all agreeing.]
Once you pop, you can't stop.
[laughter.]
Can I call you Roger? Or is that too casual? Well, you are my chiropractor's step-daughter.
Hired solely out of nepotism, 'cause you know how hot I think nepotism is.
So hot.
I do have a meeting in Munich, but I can probably - Cancel that for me? - Push that around.
You're so important.
"If the right are the Nazis, "then the left is the Red Army, who were worse.
Stop with the lies.
" - Wow.
- That makes no sense.
You should probably just stop responding to her, right? No, no, no.
It's a fucking obligation to educate our ignorant, racist relatives.
True.
But maybe not on Facebook.
- I don't know, man.
- That's fucked.
I'm sorry.
That's the end of this.
Is that the last joint that we had? I think we're all out of wine, too.
You know, I can help on one of those fronts.
Lit.
Okay.
And we have some sparkling wine.
[cheering.]
[police radio chattering.]
Excuse me, sir.
Oh.
- That's your hammock? - Uh, yeah.
Is everything okay? You can't hang a hammock in the middle of the park.
Oh, okay, I can take it down.
You want me to take it down? No, you know what? Whatever.
It's cool.
Okay.
Hey, what are you doing? Why do you keep coming over here? You're being, like, um, so standoff-ish.
I just want to be with you.
Try something new.
Hang out with these - these peeps.
They're chill peeps.
- Let them be chill.
- I don't I'm not I just wanna - I want you to chill with us.
I don't want to, so have fun.
Now put your hand over my boob.
Oh, yeah, that's hot.
Mmm, no, let's keep this on, 'cause I don't know how to swim.
Oh my God, the eclipse is on the floor! When does totality happen? 2:44.
Which is in, like, three minutes.
I'm eating a bite of this tart I feel like I'm just staring at the sun.
Jed! What are you doing? Neil Delin Tigress, whatever the fuck his name is, said that I can use a colander.
Yeah, but you're not supposed to look up.
Then what the fuck am I supposed to do? [laughter.]
I think I'm going blind.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
[phone chiming.]
She's texting, she's texting.
- Oh, shit! - What? It's happening.
How do I know if I'm going blind? - Where your retina burns.
- Come here.
- What? - I need you.
Come here, come here.
Here we go! Just stand there, and just shut the fuck up and look up, okay? I think it's happening.
Ow, but it Ow.
Ow.
It hurts though.
Okay, look at me.
[sighs.]
Okay.
So, um I know that whenever we've talked about marriage, that I've been kinda weird.
Oh, whoa.
I think it's a bit of misogyny and gender roles - and stereotypes and - Yo! Turn off the music! And my parents are fucking weird, and like, everyone we know, like, fucks it up.
And I was just thinking about fucking it up, and that if I was gonna fuck up the rest of my life, that I-I would want you to be there.
And I just I love you! I love you so much.
I love you so much that it's it's stupid! And I just wanna Fuck! Um Do you wanna get married? - Yes.

You don't know how to read.
[cheering and applause.]
- Yay! - Eclipse! [cheers continue.]
She put a ring on it! Whoo! [giggling.]
[indistinct chatter.]

How did we get there? That is hella pretty.
I'm not gonna lie.
We're on that cake.
That means they were creeping on us all afternoon.
There was somebody taking pictures of us.
- I can't take it off? - No, you can't take it off.
That's exactly how Princess Diana died! I just find that a little bit creepy.
- Call it romantic - It's not romantic.
[Jed.]
All right, what if your boyfriend's trying to surprise you.
You're with your side dude, he has pictures of you with your side dude.
