Raffo: Hello?

Live your life.

7ven: Whattup, whattup, whattup mortals?!

Just want to thank you so much for attending my "Ellen" party.

I am seeing way too many Pompeos out there

and not one DeGeneres, eh?

Okay, okay.

Now for those of you wondering about me,

I am Mary Ellen Pleasant,

19th-century African American entrepreneur,

and "mother of human rights".

Thank you, Googles.

Clap for me.

(clapping)

Uh, who are you?

Ellen of Troy.

That's a "Helen" not an "Ellen".

You're too OCD about your parties

and it's pronounced "Ellen" across the pond.

You feel it in the air, right?

The sexual tension?

It's thick.

Sabi: Um, no.

You see Little Miss Fat Ass over there?

Sabi: Oh yeah.

Which Ellen is she?

Ellen...something.

Something-something

fencing something.

I'm gonna fuck my Berlin trauma away.

Heal thyself.

I just have one little request:

um, can you be regular Sabi tonight and not

Sabrina the Teenage Mom?

(loud techno music)

(sirens wail)

(fridge door beeping)

(quirky ringtone chimes)

What?

Oh wow, still answering her phone?

What do you want?

Penny: I'm lit, yo.

Good for you.

Can I leave a message on her voicey-voice?

Why?

Just thinking,

you never know who's going to come into your life

and like change it.

You think you changed Bessy's life?

And if anything were to happen to me

I'd want Bessy to have a message with my voice on it.

What could happen to you?

Penny?

Are you in-in danger of harming yourself?

Do you need someone to talk to?

♪ No, I am not what you think

♪ why haven't you bought me a drink

♪ Cause you think you're the life of the party

♪ That's what you want me to think ♪

Juan: "Ellen" of Troy.

Sabi: Um, yeah.

Which Ellen are you?

I'm the great American puppeteer

Ellen Van Volkenburg.

Oh.

Juan: What's your name?

Um...Sabi.

Juan: Sabi.

Cool.

I'm Juan.

Sabi: Hi.

Juan: Hey.

Oh, you're yummy.

I am?

Juan: Oh yeah.

You're kinda gross.

Oh uh...

Sabi: But in a hot way.

Juan: All right, into it.

You remind me of this puppet I built last year.

Thanks?

It's a compliment.

All my puppets are stunning.

Sabi: You make puppets?

Imran: She is podiatrist.

Perfect for Sabi, huh?

Hello?

So why you don't say something?

If we couldn't fix up Aqsa for marriage

how will Sabi be different?

Imran: He's my son.

He always do what I say.

Imran: When necessary,

I know what to do to get what I want.

Even if I'm in different country.

TV Host: Would you really think that's amazing?

I want space.

In the house.

Main contractor ko hire karna chahathi hoon

to make more space.

Main floor.

Open concept.

(Imran laughs)

(speaking in foreign language)

Seriously speaking, how much will all this cost?

And who will pay for it?

Hello?

(loud techno music)

If you feel like your gonna hurt yourself

you have to come and see me.

Where are you?

Penny: Riding down your street.

You know where we live?

I promise I've never been inside.

I'm supposed to be relieved by that?

Meet me in the garage.

(soft techno music)

Juan: Want to take our masks off?

Sabi: Actually maybe no.

This is kind of hot.

You cool?

Sabi: Yeah.

Juan: You tensed up quite a bit.

Thank-thanks for noticing.

It-it's just been a while.

Juan: We can stop.

(soft techno music)

♪

I'm seriously cool with whatever.

'Cuz I'm your puppet.

Your 'Ellen' puppet?

(crickets chirping)

This is like....

awkward.

Vi, wake up,

Vi, wake up!

Ugh, what?

I had a bad dream.

Talk to Dad about it.

Dad's not home.

What?

Henry: I looked everywhere for him.

The kitchen, the bathroom,

his bedroom.

Do you think he left us because we make him sad?

No, Dad wouldn't leave us.

Are we gonna get murdered 'cuz we're alone?

No, we're not going to get murdered, Henry.

(soft techno music)

(soft moaning)

Juan: This good?

Sabi: Yeah.

Juan: God I wish I could kiss you right now.

Sabi: How bad do you want it?

Juan: A lot.

Tell me.

God I want to kiss you.

Take off your mask.

Thank God, he's actually cute.

(panting)

(phone ping)

(phone ping)

(phone ping)

Sorry, okay, sorry, I just, I need a second.

I just have to-

I'm totally cool.

I'm sorry.

(phone chimes)

At 1 AM?

Shit.

(boppy techno music)

7ven: What do you call that thing?

A foil?

A sabre?

A sword?

Sabi: You didn't check the basement?

Violet: Obviously not!

Why obviously not?

Violet: I'm not going down there at night!

Okay, fine.

Just, uh, don't move, I'll be there in 20 minutes.

No!

Hey, I gotta go.

You were about to get your freak on.

Well it's the kids and it's weirdly serious.

Sabi, you were about to have sex.

Sex is food. Food is serious.

Well, the kids can't find Paul.

Did he die?

Violet: Oh my God, you think you might be dead?

No, no! He's not dead.

She-she said he might be in bed.

Alive. Sleeping. Hang tight.

I'll be there soon.

Bye.

7ven: Sabi!

Come back and get your nourishment.

You hungry?

I actually just ate.

And you triple-checked

all the doors in the house are locked?

Violet: Basically, yeah.

What does 'basically yeah' mean?

Violet: It means basically yeah.

Okay and the windows are shut?

Violet: Yeah.

So you're safe. Stop freaking out.

Henry, are you okay?

Henry: I'm eating tofu!

(phone ringtone)

Wow. Does anybody sleep?

Hey my Lyft is here, I'm on my way.

Join me for a nightcap?

Yep.

So...

instead of harming yourself,

we talk.

So...

I talk?

Yes.

Talk.

I'm thinking about her non-stop.

Her lying in that bed like-

I dunno.

That's some nightmare shit.

I can't focus anywhere I go.

Can I ask,

how did you and Bessy meet?

Paul: And after we came out of the play,

and I don't remember what the play was we saw.

I've never seen a play.

After the play we went for a walk

and she started talking about all her urban design stuff

that she was super passionate about.

Density, diversity and mix.

All the Jane Jacobs stuff.

Hm.

Paul: And I just-

I just, I knew then that I just,

I-I wanted to share this woman's brain

for the rest of my life.

Who's Jane Jacobs?

She's one of Bessy's heroes.

Did you have sex with her?

Jane Jacobs?

No, with Bessy.

'Cuz when I met you in the park you said you didn't

and that you guys were like friends

that just did stuff together.

Now I'm kinda feeling like you barely had a conversation.

You must have had sex with her

'cuz you're not that smart.

She would have trouble having a conversation with you.

Okay, yeah, we did.

We had sex.

A lot of sex.

Okay, that's clear, thank you.

(door opens)

Hey.

Hi.

I'm here. Um, you both okay?

Yeah.

What's up with all of this tofu?

Violet: We're thinking it was for school lunches or something.

This is your dad's phone, right?

Yeah.

Weird.

(loud chewing)

Henry, stop chewing like that!

Stop!

Stop!

Sabi please tell him to stop.

All right, you're both going to bed now.

Okay?

And I'll wait here until your father gets home.

Okay.

Sabi: Bed. Now. Goodnight!

Violet: Goodnight!

Henry, I swear to God, leave your sister alone.

Thank you.

She was the instigator you should know.

Why would you tell me that?

I'm gonna drop some wisdom on you.

Oh, can't wait.

You need to embrace what the universe gives you, dawg.

If you fight everything, it hurts.

Resistance is what causes suffering.

Paul: You know what else causes suffering?

Your wife being in a coma

and not knowing if she'll ever come out of it

and her brain-dead sex-toy coming over and talking to you

like he knows shit about anything.

So take your board, Baby Tony Hawk.

And your flask.

Who carries a flask?

Actually, you know, give me the flask.

(Paul groans)

Sabi: What are you doing out here?

Do I smell pot?

Oh my God, you're high.

Oh my God.

Okay, wow, okay.

So you're like-you're like, high in your garage.

Do you know that your kids called me here

because they're like super freaked out

'cuz they think you've abandoned them?

Oh shit.

Oh shit.

Oh shit!

Hey, Sabi.

Um, hey.

You knew about him?

It's the middle of the night.

What are you doing here?

I'm here for your kids, like I always am.

You know, it's like two in the morning.

I don't work around the clock for you, Paul.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I-I, but I'm-I'm going through the greatest shit-storm

of my life and you know what, I'm trying.

Right, right, 'cuz you're the first person in history

to go through a shit-storm?

Paul: Okay, right.

So when you're done, you know,

judging the hell out of me as-as a person

and a husband and a father,

then-then maybe you could explain to me

how you walked around knowing that Bessy was smashing my heart

and-and-and you didn't tell me?

It's not my responsibility to tell you that.

He knows you.

What? You, like, met him?!

No! Oh my God. What?

I just, we just bumped into each other

in a coffee shop in the east end.

It was like super far east.

When am I ever that far east?

It was a total fluke!

You think I'm that kind of awful

that you don't need to consider my feelings?

This is my family, Sabi!

And somehow you know more about them than I do.

Maybe don't treat people like, I dunno,

like they're an extra in your movie, Paul.

We are all here.

We're like all going through shit.

Like, I had the chance to move to Berlin.

I could be living in Berlin right now but I'm not

because I wanted to be here for you.

I didn't ask you to do that.

I would-I would never ask you to give that up.

But you know what?

I-I didn't need you here tonight

because eventually I would have come in the house

and then everything would be okay.

So, you know,

maybe you need to stop telling yourself

how badly this family needs you.

Fuck you!

Shit, dawg, you would have loved Berlin.
