(gentle music)

(low battery tone
beeping) (typing)

(phone charging tone)

What? I'm at 5%.

Where's your charger?

You're in my room
right now, bitch.

(phone chimes)

Can you stay off
Grindr for one minute?

I haven't felt the touch of a
human cock for a whole week.

Leave me alone.

(phone chimes)

What do you think?

New York six, Austin ten?

Gross.

Since when are you
into older guys?

Since I'm probably
gonna need a sugar daddy

if I'm gonna live in
this expensive ass city.

That make you Rob
and Lindsay's sugar baby?

Stop.

How about I get off Grindr
and you stop texting Anna.

We're talking about rent.

Rent. What's that?

Fuck you.

It's your last day here.

Don't you wanna do
some New York shit?

Barely have enough
for the Uber tomorrow.

So, haven't you
seen those TikToks

where they go a
whole day in New York

without spending money for shit?

Like, we could totally do that.

I don't wanna do a
TikTok challenge.

It's not a challenge.

It's our last day together.

Jordan, we're not gonna
spend money on anything, okay?

Not a single cent.

Fire. Fire.

I'm honestly so surprised

at how much free shit
there is to do here.

Y'all should have come
to our free community event.

Oh my God.

Last week we did a
guided origami sesh.

Well, I'll come to the next one,

because you know what?

I fucking live here now.

Yeah, you do. Fuck, yeah.

(Ben and Jordan cheering)

Well, we're only doing the
classes once a month now.

Yeah, some randos may have
been stealing our furniture.

It's all love though.
It's all love.

Man, I feel so fucking alive.

Like, I feel like I'm not gonna
run outta shit to do here.

Like, I don't have to swim

and hike the same
three places on repeat.

What do you mean?
You love that shit.

No, but there's no
space to create there.

You know, like, there's
no community of artists

in Austin anymore.

I mean, ever since
Big Tech rolled in,

it's like there's no,
no counterculture.

- Counterculture?
- There's no fucking culture.

The city's dead.

Dead and buried.

RIP in peace.

- Rest in pieces Austin.
- RIP Austin.

Haters.

Why don't you come
and stay J-boy?

Split the room with Ben.

Nah, I don't think
Anna would like that.

What, you don't think
she'd ever leave Austin?

Nah, she's so rooted there
with work and her friends,

I don't think she ever would.

And... I don't think
she likes New York.

- Ooooh.
- What the fuck?

She says it makes her anxious,

and she doesn't
like the smell, so.

Rich bitch.

I'm sorry, what's wrong
with rich bitches?

Nothing.

No, nothing's wrong with them.

No, no, I love rich bitches.

No, they are,

like, they're so like, good

and like, they're beautiful.

- Oh. - And, and they're like,
oh my God.

They have great skin
and they're smart,

and they're funny.
(Camera shutter snaps)

And we let our friends live
rent-free in our apartments.

I knew I was
forgetting something.

(Lindsay chuckling)

[Anna] How was your last day?

It was fun.

Me and Ben did a
bunch of free shit.

Rob made a cheeseboard.

[Anna] Rob made a cheeseboard?

[Jordan] (laughs) Yeah, I know.

He's like a bougie
version of himself.

It's kind of weird, actually.

[Anna] Oh, did you
pay me for rent yet?

I uh, actually wanted
to talk to you about that.

Okay.

You know, work's been
really hard for me lately,

and I'm glad we're
staying at the place,

but I just don't know if
I'm gonna make enough

for next month's rent, you know?

So you want me to
pay rent this month?

[Jordan] Do you think
maybe you could help me out?

Okay.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I just, if I couldn't
pay rent for the month,

I probably wouldn't
have gone to New York.

We got the tickets
like six months ago.

But you're spending
money while you're there.

We're not.

Rob and Lindsay have been

(whispers) Rob and
Lindsay have been paying

for like, everything.

Okay.

Well, you have to
fly in four hours

so you should probably
get some sleep.

Okay.

Goodnight.

[Anna] Goodnight.

(sighs)

I'm so fucking stoked
you're here, buddy.

I'm getting college
flashbacks already.

Oh, do you remember senior year

when we made that
big ass grab bong?

(laughing) Holy
shit. Yeah, dude.

College was such a fucking blur.

You used to get so
horny when you smoked.

(laughs) Yeah.

Still do. Can't help it.

I was just thinking about
how we used to get so high

and you would let
me suck your dick

while you played Fortnite.

(coughing) Yeah, man.

That was crazy.

So, is Lindsey like cool with.

What?

I don't know, like, does
she know you used to do that?

Like, is she cool with you

doing stuff with guys?

[Rob] Yeah, man, I'm, (laughs)
I'm so fucking high, man.

I just...

(upbeat music)

(train screeching)

(Rob moaning)

What the fuck?

(Rob and Lindsey
arguing indistinctly)

Should I say something?

They've been talking
for like an hour.

Say what? What
the hell happened?

(wall tapping)

Uh, hey Ben, can we just talk
to you out there for a second?

He said you were cool with it.

I said she was cool with
me experimenting in college,

not doing stuff now.

Well, it sure looked
like you were fine

- with doing stuff now.
- I was confused.

I was smoking a lot of weed.

Yeah, I mean, so the
weed made you gay?

Okay, Ben, so I just
think the main issue here is

that it's just probably
not a good idea

for you to live here.

I...

What?

It's just not the vibe anymore.

Um... I sold everything I own.

I sold my fucking car.

I, I have literally
nothing back in Austin.

I, I just have like the two
bags in there and that's it.

He fucking started it.

How did I start it?

You touched me on the back.

You broke the touch barrier.

Fuck you guys.

Jordan, pack your shit.

You could still
stay here tonight.

Ben, we're not throwing
you out onto the street.

Why would you fucking do that?

'Cause I told you, that's
what I thought was happening.

And we used to fool around.

Ben, he's married.

So, there are plenty
of married people

who're in like ethically
non-monogamous relationships.

Don't be ignorant!

Maybe they'll
change their minds.

Are you joking?

(sobbing) I can't
live there anymore.

That was the most humiliating
moment of my entire life.

And I probably shouldn't
have said that thing

about Lindsey
being a Jew chaser.

Yeah, that was
really out of pocket.

(crying) I'm gonna to be
homeless. I'm gonna be homeless.

You're not gonna be
fucking homeless.

[Ben] Stop shaking me.

Hey, get your fucking
shit together.

It's gonna be all right.

We're gonna go back to Austin.

We're gonna fucking
go back to the apartment,

and we'll figure
out the rest there.

I don't wanna go back to Austin.

I'd literally
rather kill myself.

Don't say that.

I got you. Fucking got you.

(Ben crying)

Horniest man alive
can't stay off the dick.

Stop.

Rob? Really?

That was my frat
boy summer, okay?

(train screeching)

(gentle music)

(car trunk slams)

I gotta shit.

[Jordan] Hey, um, you
could just wait outside

for a second?

[Ben] What? Why?

[Jordan] I feel like I should
probably talk to Anna first.

- [Ben] That's so psycho.
- This isn't fucking sitcom.

[Jordan] Yeah, it's just, she
just might need some easing

into the idea of you being back.

[Ben] I gotta take
like a really big shit.

[Jordan] Ben, wait.

(door bursts open)

Hey.

Hi.

Did y'all go for a ride?

- Yeah.
- Hi.

Hi.

How was the move?

(Jordan sighs)

(gentle music)

That's so fucked.

[Jordan] I know.

They just changed their minds
last night after we talked?

Yeah. It's crazy.

God, I actually
feel bad for him.

What is he gonna do?

I don't know.

Do you think maybe he
could stay here for a little bit

until he figures it out?

Yeah, that's fine.

(chewing)

Hi.

Hey.

- How are you?
- Not good.

It's really shitty.

I actually feel like Rob and
Lindsay are terrible people.

Yeah, they are.

[Anna] Did you do
something or say something?

Okay.

- Well, oh, I'm just asking.
- No, I get it.

It's always gonna
be something I did.

No, I'm not saying
it's something you did,

I just... I mean...

There is something.

That doesn't make it
okay for them to ruin my life.

[Anna] What did you do?

What did you do?

[Jordan] Rob told
Ben that they were open.

[Anna] Do you
actually believe that?

[Jordan] What?
That they're open?

Do you really not see
how fucked up this is?

Really?

I'm not even asking
you to be cool with this.

I just need you to under... You
are asking me to be cool with
this.

You are asking me to
be cool with your friend

living in our apartment
for God knows how long.

(loud bang) (footsteps)

Where are you going?

Caleb's picking me up.

Fuck me for being vulnerable.

[Guys] Fuck New York.

(laughter)

I love New York.

Me too.

Oh, hey, no, no, no,
brother, fuck that.

You gotta delete
that fucking timeline

through your head right now.

It's not your life anymore.

This is your life, right now.

You're supposed to
be making me feel better.

Dude, New York's
not even that great.

It's expensive as shit.

Man, you would've hated
to live with Rob anyway.

He was the worst roommate.

Yo, true that.

That motherfucker
used Venmo request me

if I ate some of his goldfish.

And I've never ridden anyone
ass about rent or utilities

the entire time
we've lived here.

You don't pay for the utilities.

So they just flipped
on you just like that?

They didn't give you
a reason or anything.

They said some bullshit
about Lindsay's dad finding out

about it and not
wanting me to stay.

Yeah, like that
dude fucking cares.

He owns like 10
buildings up there.

Right?

(smoke detector chirps)

Man, when are you
gonna fix that shit?

Randy, I said I'd
get to it this week.

Will you please get
off my dick about it?

Can we just have a
good time? Thank you.

How can you be friends
with someone for 15 years

and not call them
out on their shit?

He's a messy person.

He doesn't always
think things through.

What? Like you?

He's family to me,
Anna. He's family to me.

I know that makes me cringe
to say, but it's fucking true.

Both of you need to figure out
how you're gonna coexist here

or else it's not
gonna fucking work.

While I pay rent
for both of you.

- Wow.
- Got it.

Fucking wow.

You know, maybe,
maybe this is...

Maybe this is good.

Maybe, maybe we're
supposed to do this

before we renew the lease.

What do you,

why would you say that?

We have two weeks to renew.

We said we were gonna renew

so what the fuck are
you talking about?

What the...

What is happening right now?

(Anna crying)

Anna?

You haven't had
a job since 2020.

You can't pay rent.

You don't have a five-year plan.

You don't even have
a one-year plan.

How the fuck are we supposed
to have a future together?

Is this fucking,

is this happening right now?

Anna, what the
fuck is happening?

I just, I think that I
should live in my own place

while you figure out your life.

I just, I don't like how
much we fuse together.

I feel like we should
have different lives

and separate finances.

We can do that together.

- We can do that together.
- Listen to yourself.

You can't exist without me.

Ben doesn't have to live here.

- Ben doesn't have to stay.
- This isn't about Ben. No.

We'll figure something else out.

This is about you.

This is about the fact

that you can't have
an adult relationship.

We're adults in a relationship.

What the fuck else do you want?

Fuck, fuck, fuck this!

This is gonna be hard.

We're just gonna have
to rip the band-aid off.

We're just gonna have to do it.

- Do what?
- Now.

Why don't you just stay
with Jordan and Anna?

She hates me.

And I feel like if
I stay with them,

I'm gonna be the
reason they break up.

I don't want that
blood on my hands.

Hey dude, why don't
you just stay here?

Cody's gone for like a month.

You could totally
crash in his room.

You sure that's a good idea?

[Caleb] Oh, don't even
think twice, dude.

Where you're fucking friends.

Really?

[Caleb] Mi casa
es tu casa, right?

I'm just being a bitch.

I'll be fine.

(smoke detector chirping)

(birds chirping)

(water running)

The fuck?

Jordan?

(water running)

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey. Hey, hey.

Jordan?

Hey, hey, hey, Jordan?

What the fuck is going on?

Jordan, wake up.

(slapping)

Maybe don't kill yourself
with your girlfriend's Ambien.

She fucking left.

Yeah, I can see that.

Was she in a hurry or something?

It all happened so fast.

I just.

Hey, hey.

Hey, it's gonna be
okay, all right?

It's gonna be okay.

I know you're freaking out
and you probably should be,

but we're gonna figure
this out together,

you and me, all right?

We're both fucking
(crying) broke.

Oh, wait, what do you
mean you're broke?

How are you gonna pay rent?

Anna was gonna pay for me.

We have to be outta
here in two weeks.

Fuck that.

No, let's get outta
here right now.

Let's go!

Right now?

Yeah, look at this place, man.

We can't stay here.

It's a shell of its former self.

It's bad fucking vibes.

We gotta get outta here.

Let's go.

(sighs)

Where?

(upbeat music)

(smoke detector chirps)

- [Ben] Hey.
- Hi.

[Ben] Sorry. I just
got your message.

Whoa.

It's not my room.

(kissing)

(washing machine chimes)

[Randall] Dryer's broken.

(sighs)

(camera clicks)

Very nice.

Now let's try one.

Just lean, just move your
head down just a little bit.

Yes. Just like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Perfect. (Camera clicks)

Nice.

Yes.

(bang)

(footsteps)

Oh, Señor Jordan.

- What's up buddy?
- Hey.

Hey, thanks for hooking
me up with that job today.

Are you kidding?

Thanks for covering for,
what the fuck is his name?

Kyle. Thank you.

You saved our bacon. I
appreciate you being here.

Of course, definitely.

Did you wanna see
some of the pictures I took?

No, I'm sure they're good.

That's all right.

You get paid by a company check?

Is that right?

Uh. Venmo. Venmo works.

Ugh. All right.

What's your name?

It's gonna be @Jordan.

[Curtis] Jordan.

Jordan Arriaga.

A-R-R-I

Two R's.

A-G-A.

It's TX.

TX.

And send. All right.

You're set. Thanks.

(computer booting up)

Hey, you know, I saw on the
website that y'all were hiring

for a full-time position.

You know, I'd really
love to throw my name

in the hat for that.

[Curtis] Buddy, don't, don't
ever listen to what they say

on the website.

They haven't updated
that shit in years.

No, we don't have a
full time position.

I'm sorry about that.

I can put you on a waiting
list if that's helpful, but.

Okay. Yeah. Cool.

[Curtis] All right.

Sounds good.

[Caleb] He's stressed,
bro. He's stressed, bro.

- He's getting lined up.
- He's fucking stressed.

- No, no, no.
- He's getting lined up.

[Caleb] Go, go, Dustin.

His hands are down.

His hands are down. Come on.

His legs are weak.

Take 'em. Take 'em.

Take that shit.

Take that! Go!

Fucking go!

(Rendall cheering)

- Fucking go.
- Good night.

That's fucking it.

That's what we're gonna
do for my birthday.

We're gonna do a fucking
championship fucking fight.

And we're gonna
do bestie rounds.

We're gonna do me versus you

and then we're gonna
do Ben versus Jordan.

- That is so fucking gay.
- (laughs) That's so gay.

[Randall] Is it gay to
have a theme for your party?

[Caleb] Yeah. Thank you, bro.

A coke and molly theme maybe?

Yes, please.

Yeah, I can make that happen.

(smoke detector chirping)

Randy, if you say a
fucking word, I swear to God.

No way, guys.

I got something.

(sports on TV)

Oh no fucking way!

(upbeat music)

It's fixed.

(everyone cheering)

Hell yeah.

[Randall] That's
fucking right, bro.

(upbeat music)

Where's your keys?

Have you given any thought

about what the fuck
is gonna happen

when Cody gets back tomorrow?

I don't know, we'll move
to the couches downstairs.

You know, for the last
two week I thought maybe

'cause you kept saying that
we'd figure it out together

that we'd figure
it out together.

We are figuring it out together.

Look, let's just talk
about it tonight.

But the party's tonight.

Ben!

Ben?

[Ben] Professor Gelman.

(chuckles) Just, just Ron.

I didn't recognize
you with the beard.

Wow, this is such
a great surprise.

You know, they don't have
pics on these delivery apps,

you know, they're so impersonal.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Wow.

Well, I'm sorry
to ruin your hopes

for your students' futures.

Come on. Stop it. Stop it.

We're all just doing
what we can, aren't we?

Ah, is the sweet green here?

So Ben, this is Arturo.

He's a grad student
in from Mexico City.

We're hosting him
in our guest house.

Yeah, we were just

(chuckles) Grading papers.

Grading papers, yeah.

Did um, did you say
you have a guest house?

We do. Yeah.

We just finished
renovations actually.

You want a tour?

No, I've, I've gotta
get back to work.

[Ron] Sure, sure. I got you.

Well, that means you
should definitely come over

for dinner then.

Oh, okay.

[Ron] You still got
my number, yeah?

Yeah, I do.

All right, well, hope
to hear from you, okay?

- Okay.
- Thanks for the grub.

- All right.
- Bye bye.

(app chimes)

(chuckles)

[Ben] Like this.

[Caleb] During class?
That's fucked up.

Feels kind of nice.

It did, but he
just had this like,

creepy over-enthusiasm
about my essays.

Like I could practically hear

his two inch boner springing up.

But anyways, he actually looked
kind of good with a beard.

And a hundred dollar tip,
that's like automatic hand job.

Ew. Have some class, bro.

No, I'm gonna have
to take the guest house

and be his live-in fuck slave

if I'm gonna save up
for New York at this rate.

All right, no friend of mine
is ever gonna be a slave.

You guys can just stay
here as long as you need.

Cody's coming back tomorrow.

You guys can sleep on the
couch as long as you need.

Well, then we should
probably text him

- before he gets here.
- All right, dude,

how about we just
clean up his shit first thing

in the morning and
then we'll talk to him

when he gets here, all right?

But right now y'all gonna do
this birthday molly with me.

- Okay.
- That's for you.

Are you sure?

- Fuck it.
- That's yours.

Where's Liz?

I dunno who the fuck
you're talking about.

It's like, I know that New York

is like everybody's fucking
place that they want to move to,

right, ut I've made my
peace with that, right?

Because like, I have
known my whole life

that I may have
been born in Texas,

but I'm sure as fuck
not gonna die here.

For sure, I feel
like dying anywhere

that's like not coastal
would be so tragic.

Like you were
meant for New York.

Oh my God, thank you
so much for saying that.

Yeah, man, I feel like
you were meant to be there.

I literally just said that.

Neil, can I say something?

I'm sorry, but you're
one of the only friends

from high school that we
still have that lives here

and like no one
else understands,

but like, you were the
first out gay guy that I met

even before Ben,
because Ben wasn't out yet.

And like, and like, I
really appreciate that

because I could finally
accept the fact that I was bi

and like, even though I
only want to date women,

I can still explore
that side of myself.

You know what I'm saying?

So sweet.

Yeah, he didn't though,

but like, that's okay.

It's the thought counts,

- right?
- Yeah. I did, I did.

I hooked up with that
guy freshman year.

I've just been in a
relationship this whole time.

Yeah, I'm bi and Neil's
the first guy I ever dated.

And the last.

(everyone laughing)

I'm gonna get water.

Okay.

Okay, is he okay or what?

(group chattering indistinctly)

(water running)

Hey Jordan.

Val.

- Hey, what's up?
- Hey.

Water.

Yeah, you know, I'd
say sorry about Anna,

but it seems like
you're doing good.

Yeah. Great.

It's been, what,
two months, right?

Two weeks, but you
know, I'm so great,

still so. (Chuckles)

Glad you didn't leave.

Like, LA sucks.

- Mm.
- Yeah.

Austin's basically LA at this
point, so why bother, right?

Is that why you guys broke up?

What?

Um

I'm sorry.

Did, did you like no know or?

Um.

Of course I knew. (Laughs)

I'm just fucking with you guys.

(everyone laughing)

Oh my God.

(upbeat music)

(indistinct chatter)

Hey.

My God, Abby.

Hey.

- I love you, Abby.
- I love you. Hi.

Hi.

- Lemme just tell you.
- Yeah?

If I could have your hair
cut, I absolutely would.

It's unbelievably perfect.

Hey Jordan.

- This is all perfect.
- Thank you so much.

[Ben] This is Kyra.
She sells hats.

This is Tristan. He sells drugs.

Hi. Can I just...

Selling drugs is the most
important job in the world.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

You hear that, babe?

I can teach you.

You have no idea
how good I feel right now.

I bet I do.

Drink some water, yeah. (Laughs)

I need to talk to you.

Will you come with
me for a second?

- Okay.
- Come on.

[Kyra] OK, bye.

What's going on?
What's going on?

Listen, I'm so fucking
overwhelmed right now,

but in the best way.

There is so much love out there.

And Anna, fucking
withheld her love, right?

- Yes.
- Right?

Mm-hm.

But everyone out there
loves me so much.

Everyone out there
loves you so much.

It's just so much.

(exhales sharply) Just,
fuck, I just need a second.

- I wanna move to New York with
you. - What?

I wanna move to New
York with you bitch.

You're just saying
that 'cause you're.

Fuck you. No I'm not.

Listen, I've been thinking
about this ever since Anna left.

All right, I know Austin.

I love it here. I know everyone.

I know where everything
is. I love everyone here.

But it's like, you're right,

I need to change my
whole fucking life.

We both do, so let's
just do it together.

Yes.

Holy shit, am I fucking
dreaming right now?

No, this is not a fucking dream.

This is fucking real.

Do you remember when
we were in New York

and you were saying that
we could go a whole day

without paying for shit?

- And we did that.
- We did.

Yeah, that was all us.

We fucking did that.

Exactly.

So it's March right now.

Uh-huh!

Well, what if we just
moved to New York at the end

of the year and we just
like spent the rest

of the year not paying any rent

and just like saving
up a ton of money.

Oh my God.

Wait. Whoa. Okay.
Wait. What do you mean?

Well, think about it, okay?

We're not paying any
rent here, right?

And when Cody comes
back, the guys will talk to him

and we can stay here for at
least two more months at least.

Right, okay, and then after
that, what are we gonna do?

Well, you just fucking said it.

- Our friends.
- Our friends.

Okay?

- Oh my God.
- They fucking love us.

We can just stay with them.

And, and we don't even
have to stay that long

because if we
outstay our welcome.

- We can just go some else.
- We just go somewhere else.

- Exactly.
- We can go somewhere else.

We're staying with
Caleb and Randy.

Yeah, but then we
can stay with Abby,

and then we can stay
with Neil and Joe

(knocking)

[Randall] Yo, what the fuck
are you guys doing in here?

- One second.
- Hold on. Hold on.

Here, look at me.
I fucking love you.

I fucking love you. I
fucking love this plan.

Oh my fucking God.

And look, it'll be like
a social experiment.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Let's fucking do it.

Let's do it together.

Let's fucking do it.

- Yes. Yes.
- Yes. Yes.

- All right. Guys.
- Guys.

What the fuck are you doing,

trying to keep me
outta my own room?

(everyone chattering
indistinctly)

Dude!

Oh fuck! I'm sorry.

Oh, we just washed these.

Randy. It's fine. Shut the up.

I'll wash it later.

Fuck you, man. You
mean I'll wash them.

But whatever man, I
don't give a fuck.

And I know you steal
my fucking Adderall too.

I don't know what
he's talking about.

(Ben snorting)

I fucking love it, dude.

I fucking love it.

Social experiment.

Back what I said.

Yo, yo, yo, how do you
guys come up with this shit?

I mean, look at our
lives, man, right?

Like, we don't
have shit going on.

We don't have shit to lose.

So it's like the universe
is just telling us

to roll with it.

And.

[Caleb] Cody, what the fuck
are you doing here so early?

I texted y'all in the
group chat yesterday.

What the hell happened here?

It's my birthday.

Can y'all not? It's
a family quilt.

Shit. Sorry.

[Cody] It's like a fucking
hurricane tore through this
place.

In my fucking room.

- Caleb said it'll be fine.
- He just gets like this.

They just gotta run it by him.

And maybe we can stay in here

or we can stay in
Randy's or we can stay.

Yeah, I'm fucking
telling them, dude.

[Cody] Who gives a fuck
about the smoke detector?

Hey guys. Um.

So, uh, Cody's being
just such a fucking asshole

and we're like trying
to talk to him,

but he's just like, um...

Fuck guys, I'm really sorry.

He's just like the biggest
fucking asshole on Earth.

And, and, uh... Fuck,
guys. I'm sorry.

What about our mattresses?

I'll just ask Caleb if
we can keep them here.

I was thinking we could
even try to sell them.

That'd be an easy hundo
at least for each of us.

Do you still think
this is a good plan?

Oh, fuck yes, I do.

Just trust me, all right?

(gentle music)

(traffic sounds)

(birds chirping)

I'll just be a second.

[Tristan] What's up guys?

What's up?

Hey.

Abby, I set a fucking
reminder on my phone.

It's been two weeks.

Okay, I will talk
to them, alright?

I just don't wanna kick 'em out.

I care about these guys.

They're going through
a rough patch.

Isn't the gay one your ex?

From like freshman year, yeah.

And also he's not
gay, he's bi, okay?

Is he though?

He broke your heart. Now he's
eating my fucking pistachios.

(Jordan coughing)

Hey, um, you ever need
any help running product or...?

Like, (chuckles) like a runner?

Yeah, like a runner.

Do you ever need any
help with any of that or?

No, man, I'm flattered,

but it's not that
big an operation.

It's just, I basically
just sell to my friends

and my friend's
friends. But um...

- Cool.
- Yeah.

No, that's cool.

- I'm sorry. Yeah.
- No, that's cool.

You ready?

[Tristan] Let's just stay here.

[Ben] Yeah, hang out with us.

(thunder)

(everyone laughing)

(Ben coughing)

[Kyra] Dude, are you okay?

(friends laughing)

Ben?

Ben?

Can we talk about
the plan again?

I said plan's simple, okay?

We just stay outta people's hair

and we do favors and
shit for them if they ask

and we focus on making money.

Yeah.

I just dunno how I'm
gonna do that last part.

You're creative.

Be creative.

Hey, hey.

Hey.

You need any help?

No, thank you. I'm good.

Teaching my class at
First Street today.

Oh, cool.

How's your day going?

I just updated my website
and portfolio, so that's cool.

That's good.

I've been looking for jobs,

but everything pays
so fucking little.

[Abby] Yeah.

Thinking about doing deliveries,

but then what would Ben do?

You know?

I just wanna get paid to
take my stupid little pictures.

Do you do video?

(intense dance music)

(kissing)

(moaning) You better get to it.

I gotta get back to work.

Let me eat your ass
first. I'll be quick.

Don't be too quick.

(Ben moaning)

What's your rent?

Oh, wait, don't,
don't, don't tell me.

Hey, I saw snacks downstairs.

Can anyone have those?

(bags rustling)

Honestly, it was
just great being able

to take pictures again.

[Ben] Oh, that's nice.

Yeah.

[Ben] Is she gonna pay you?

I don't know. We haven't
really talked about that yet.

[Ben] You need to ask her.

- I don't know.
- You should.

But they're like hosting us.

Yeah, but you gotta get
your fucking bag, dude.

(sighs)

(crickets chirping)

This is so good,
you guys. Thank you.

Of course.

We wanted to pay you back
for being such great hosts.

Yeah, thanks for letting us

use your groceries
too, honestly.

Of course, at least someone's
putting 'em to good use.

You know?

(everyone laughing)

I think Abby's subsisted
solely on 3AM Whataburger

for like all of freshman year.

Ah, yeah, that was my
eating disorder that year.

So yeah, that
sounds about right.

Thank you for bringing that up.

- Thank you.
- You were a mess.

I was a mess, probably
'cause I was dating you then.

[Ben] Hey!

What was that like?

[Abby] What?

Being his only girlfriend.

It was fun, yeah.

I got a lot of my good
sleeping T-shirts out of it.

You know?

- Fun?
- Yeah.

- Really?
- Yes.

You fucking hated me.

I didn't hate you. I didn't.

I didn't hate you.

I just, I thought you had a lot

of issues with
women, that's all.

Issues with women.
What the fuck?

[Abby] (giggling) What the fuck?

I don't have fucking
issues with women.

What do you.

- You don't?
- I don't. I don't.

Is that what all your
female friends are telling you?

Is that the feedback
you're getting?

(Ben belching)

Nice.

I don't wanna talk
about this anymore.

[Abby] Well, let's not
talk about it then.

Okay, great. Let's
change the subject.

[Abby] Let's change the subject.

What did you guys do today?

I taught one of my dance classes

and he came and filmed it.

- Really?
- Mm-hm!

- That's really nice.
- It was really nice.

Are you gonna pay him?

Huh! Okay. Uh...

So you guys said that you
would be out in two weeks.

Is that right?

(gentle music)

[Woman on TV] There's
nothing you can do

to convince me that God
did not take an extra day

to (indistinct).

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

(spraying)

(Neil clapping)

All right, it's
karaoke night, bitches.

Did he say karaoke night?

(indistinct chatter)

They're not fucking
working. They're dead.

Why did you not charge
it like I told to?

I couldn't find the charger.

The case is the charger.

Why did you not
put it in the case?

(Gio sighs)

(Neil imitates him)

[Richard] Okay, it's kinda
like a social experiment.

Exactly.

It's more of a survival plan.

A whole year, and you've
already crashed at three spots

in one month?

Well, the idea was
the calendar year,

so three months and three.

Three months. Three spots.

Does anyone have cigs?

(women laughing)

Dude, she picked
your clothes out for you?

No.

(women laughing)

She just helped me with
my fashion sense, that's all.

I totally get that.

It's like whenever me and
my ex broke up, I didn't.

[Lena] Drink, oh!

[Evie] Yeah, they're drinking
whenever I bring up my ex.

- That's so mean.
- Yeah.

[Lena] Friends keep
friends accountable.

Yeah.

I feel like if I
didn't have Ben,

I'd probably crawl into a pit
of despair and not come out.

Facts.

That's why I've been doing.

It's like no one tells you
that when you break up

with someone after four years,

it's like you're losing
your best friend too.

Yeah, exactly.

(Ben snorting)

Body by BJJ, baby.

Oh, I wish I could
get into that.

You should. You're
a fucking man.

Don't you just have that desire

to pummel another
man into submission.

Literally. No.

I wanna be the guy
that gets pummeled.

(Richards snorting)

Hey, do you think that
Jordan and I could ever crash

at your place?

Oh. (Laughs)

Yeah.

Mm. Nah.

Like, I just enjoy
my privacy too much.

No, look, it's cool.

I shouldn't even have asked.

(knock on door) - [Neil]
Let me in, you fucking cunts.

Line for the host.
(Chuckles) Come on.

I swear to fucking God,

if another Swiftie belts
their hearts out out there,

I'm going to get the
fucking gun. It's that serious.

Thank you.

Richard, have you
been working out?

Shit.

(Neil snorting) (door closes)

Sorry, there are people
fucking in my room.

Neil said I could lie
down here for a second.

No worries. I'm just grabbing
Neil's poppers real quick.

I did too much coke.

I think my heart's
gonna explode.

Here, do some box
breathing with me.

What's that?

It's a tactic used by Navy SEALs

to help regulate their bio
rhythms under pressure.

Just close your eyes.

Inhale for four.

(Jordan inhales)

Exhale for four.

(Jordan exhales)

And then (knocking)

- Hey.
- Hey kiddos.

Hey.

I was just getting my
shit together, box breathing.

Cool, have you seen how
crazy it's getting out there?

There are people
fucking in our room.

Boys. Boys, boys. (Chuckles)

Oh, room for one more?

Mmm.

I love my chosen family.

- Me too.
- Mm.

Now, can you please
help me get these faggots

out of my house?

(birds chirping)

What if I narrated every
single detail about having sex?

Do you think that's something

that would be
particularly interesting

or scintillating, Gio?

[Gio] I'm sorry, I
just asked about that.

[Neil] Have you ever heard
somebody explain a joke?

It's the worst.

[Gio] Okay. I
know. I, I'm sorry.

[Neil] Dumb fuck.

And here we have...

The "Rose Quartz."

These stones are
absolutely gorgeous.

Just 19.99.

Okay, okay, I get it.

I'm not finished.

I know.

I can't buy any of
these right now.

I just told you I
don't have any money.

You can sell these!

Like me.

And your friends
can join in, too.

Ben, Anna, they'd love it.

You already know what I think.

Don't start with
me about pyramids.

Mom, I'm sorry.

But what about the protein
shakes and the coffee?

Isn't it the same thing?

Alright.

That's your loss.

Do you think Anna would
like to hear about this?

I can give you a
brochure to show her.

We don't talk anymore.

She moved to Los Angeles.

Just because you broke up
doesn't mean that you can't be
friends.

You and Dad aren't friends.

Can you give me a ride
to where I'm staying?

Sure.

So what's Ben up to?

I'm sorry.

Babe, I'm sorry but
you're being fucking bitch.

Oh, hey, hey, just
leave that right there.

Gotta scan your ID first.

Oh, I left my wallet upstairs

so just fucking leave it, dude.

Okay, but then I'm
gonna need a tip.

I tipped you in the app already.

(sighs) Okay. Just one...

Hold on.

What's up?

Oh, hey.

(water running)

(music) (exercise
machines clanking)

(women chattering indistinctly)

So it's her friend's
apartment's gym.

Why the fuck did
you go back there?

Because I still have a key

and I can't afford
a gym membership.

Well, did she see you?

I don't know. I thought
she was in fucking LA.

Facebook's been trying to
get me to go out there forever,

but there's just no
fucking way it's happening.

What do you even do there?

Um, I'm a content supervisor.

What's that?

I don't know anyone who
uses Facebook anymore,

but apparently it's just
this cesspool of beheadings,

shootings, child torture porn,

people going absolutely fucking
sicko mode on each other.

And my team goes through a
portion of the traffic every
week

to weed out the
torture and porn.

But yeah, it's
super demoralizing

and actually really
spiritually upsetting.

But I don't know.

I'm basically numb to everything

by this point, so. (Chuckles)

So Gio, are you still
working at the library?

No, I got laid off,

so I've just been
helping friends out

with creative projects lately.

But I get to live my
house husband dream.

[Gio] You always make
me feel so dumb, like.

[Neil] Keep your
fucking voice down.

You disrespect is out
of control tonight.

Now don't look at me.
Look down at the ground.

(birds chirping)

[Woman on TV] Come
back to a neutral (indistinct).

(exhaling)

I love this chick.

Sorry, I asked Neil if I
could just work out here.

You're all good.

The stretches are
damn hard though.

You need a hand?

Yeah.

How's that feel?

(laughs) It feels good. Thanks.

I think that's good.

(sighs) What time
does Neil get home?

(kissing)

(Ben knocking on door)

Hello?

Hi, I'm your Munchr driver.

I just delivered your sushi.

Uh. Yeah, I just got it. Thanks.

Did you need help figuring
out the tipping function?

Um, I'm sorry?

I just, I noticed that you
didn't leave a tip in the app.

Um, I... Were you going to?

Hey.

Hey, just need to get
my laptop charger.

Sorry. My bad.

Oh dammit! I'm sorry.

(sighs)

(crickets chirping)

You guys totally fucked?

What?

Don't act like I haven't
noticed how flirty you've been

ever since we got here.

I felt like the wife would
get cheated on a gay porn,

and now you guys can't even
look each other in the eye?

(sighs)

- Oh, oh my God.
- Please.

You fucking dog.
You're an animal.

What, is that the first
guy in four years?

Have you even
fucked a guy before?

I'm obsessed. I need to
know everything, okay?

Every last nasty little detail.

I'm not telling you anything.

What? Why?

I tell you everything.

I told you how I threw
up on that guy's dick

'cause it smelled
like barbecue sauce.

Maybe I didn't
want to know that.

Well, you would tell me
everything about you and Anna.

That was different.

Look, you're making me
feel real weird about this,

all right, can you
please just chill out?

Please?

Okay, fine. I get it.

I still can't
believe you did that.

I mean, that's the first
cool thing you've done

since you've been
single honestly, fuck.

Fuck, wait.

- What?
- Well,

I think you may have really
fumbled the fucking bag

- for us here, dude.
- What do you mean?

Well, what if Neil finds out?

Or what if Gio tells him?

Well, that's not gonna happen.

It was a tiny little shared
moment between the two of us

and now it's in the past.

Well, he looks like you
just killed his entire family.

Are you coming
after me for this?

Seriously? You?

Are you totally incapable

of feeling like a fucking
hypocrite for once?

Okay, I am a
calculated risk taker.

I calculate the risk.

And I don't care if you think
that I just do whatever I want

because what you've done here

is another level
of carelessness.

So you calculated the
risk when you fucked Rob?

You are really fucking mean
when you're under pressure.

You know what, congratulations
on getting your dick wet

or ass, I wouldn't know 'cause
you won't fucking tell me.

(gentle music)

(crickets chirping)

I totally sympathize with that,

but like, if it's getting
hotter it's also kind of a vibe.

Like, I don't know, it just
makes me like so nostalgic.

Like summer vacation, like
windows down, music up.

Anyway, babe, why don't
you get off your phone?

You're making everyone anxious.

Oh my fucking God. (Chuckles)

I just had the craziest
fucking idea: Movie night. Ah!

Movie night. Movie
night. Movie night.

Like high school.

- Okay, sure.
- Movie night.

Movie night. What?

[Neil] You just listen to what.

[Gio] No, you listen,
you listen to me, okay?

(thud)

Ow, that's my head.

[Gio] Don't fuckin' say that.

I'm so fucking scared.

It's okay. I don't think
they're talking about you.

They're so fucking toxic.

We can't stay here.

I haven't slept a whole
night since we've been here.

[Neil] No, you(glass shatters)

[Gio] I'm sorry. I didn't
know I'd break it, okay?

[Neil] (yells) I fucking
got that at Epcot.

(tense music)

(zipping)

[Jordan] So where do we go now?

[Ben] I was thinking
maybe we should split up

for this next one.

[Jordan] What?

[Ben] I don't know, two of
us is just too many variables.

So I'm gonna try to
crash at this top's place

for the next couple days.

Are you fucking kidding me?

This was your idea.

What the fuck am
I supposed to do?

Sleep in the fucking car?

I can ask Scott if he'd
be cool with you staying too,

but I'm gonna need at least
tonight to sell him on the idea.

Man, fuck you.

(turn signal)

What are you doing?

No, man, we're so
close to downtown.

Just drop me off at his place.

I'm sure you'll
find a way there.

Get the fucking outta the car.

(door slams)

(sighs)

(birds chirping)

(Jordan knocking)

Like I knew it was
always gonna be hard

and like I thought I'd get over
it and like recover from it,

but like, just feels like
something broke six months ago

and like it's always
gonna be broken.

[Jordan] It won't.

It feels that way.

It's felt that way
for me too sometimes.

I mean, when me
and Anna broke up,

I felt like I was never
gonna be happy again.

And... I'm sure
I'll be happy again.

I mean, our relationship was
half as long as you and Amy's

I just need to stop avoiding it.

Like, I'm always
avoiding everything.

I mean like, look at
my fucking apartment.

- It's not that bad.
- Come on,

you're not gonna
hurt my feelings.

I feel like if I
clean everything up

and throw everything out,

it's like I'll admit that
she's like actually gone.

Hey.

(junk rattling)
Come on, come on.

I don't know what I was thinking
offering up my place to you.

I'm sorry, like, I guess I
just, I really want to help.

You are helping me.

Let me help you.

What do you mean?

I mean, I'll help you
clean your apartment.

Every time I get depressed,

I force myself to clean my
apartment, and it fucking sucks.

But after I finish, it's
like I instantly feel better.

You'd do that for me?

Of course I would.

so can you please go?

Can you like leave
like right now? Please?

Can you... Okay.

Can you like please go?

- Please.
- Okay. Okay.

Go. Please.

(gentle music)

(crickets chirping)

[Ben] You really don't
mind if I stay for a bit?

I think you might
be the first bottom

in history to ask that.

Rude.

No, I hate sleeping
alone anyway.

You know Dolly Parton
hasn't slept alone

since she was like 16.

Why would I know that?

It's romantic to
sleep in the same bed.

Yeah, yeah that's why I hate it.

Not like with you.

I just like haven't slept with
someone in the same bed

since my ex and I broke up.

Sorry.

That's fine.

I guess I've slept in the
same bed as Jordan too.

Who's Jordan?

My best friend.

(distant police sirens)

(knock on window)

[Man] You can't sleep here.

Um. I'm just waiting
for a friend.

[Man] You can't do that either.

It's 2 in the morning.

(police walkie talkie)

Hey, um, sorry,
I know it's late.

[Ben] No, I was awake too.

[Jordan] My place fell through.

Could I come over there?

[Ben] No man. My place
actually fell through too.

Do you wanna come pick me up?

Where do you wanna go?

[Ben] I was trying
to avoid this,

but you think you got a
three hour drive in you?

(gentle music)

(motorcycle engines)

Well, hello. Hey.

(laughs) Morning Dad.

How are you Benny?

What's going on? How are you?

Jordan, it's so good to see you.

It's so good to see you.

Well, how was your trip?

I only got your text
about an hour ago,

so I rolled accordingly.

That was about all I could do.

Don't get too excited, dad,
we're just here to do laundry.

Well, and this is
just a place to do it.

I've got a washer and a dryer.

You know, we've got all the
roll mop cons around here,

that's for sure,
I'll tell you that.

Hey, just go ahead
and drop 'em anywhere.

Now we're gonna go upstairs.

We're gonna go to my room.

Well, yes.

Oh, the Ben Coleman
Museum of Natural History.

You'll, you'll be
excited to know

that I haven't changed a thing.

Thanks Jeff.

- Jesus Christ.
- Man. I missed your dad.

Top or bottom, you
got a preference?

Wait. I'm afraid to ask.

(groans)

(gentle music)

(ducks quaking)

(water running)

[Jeff] Up and at
'em there, Jordo.

[Jordan] Hey Jeff.

(Jeff chuckles)

God, that smells good.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Now, in your many travels,

do you recall my critically
acclaimed... firehouse chili?

Oh my God, that's incredible.

- Amazing. Right?
- Wow.

Well listen, it's
not gonna be ready

for a country minute or so.

It's gotta reduce.

So if you're hungry,
there's leftovers in the fridge.

Thank you, Jeff.

What is it, a fucking school
holiday at the firehouse?

Dad said, you're only here
because you're homeless.

I'm not homeless.

Well, then where do you live?

Right now, here in my home.

This ain't your house, brother.

It's not yours either.

Y'all two living
here rent-free too.

I just got my own
place, dickhead.

And I pay utilities though.

Shut the fuck up, Andy.

- Shut the fuck up.
- Make me pay too?

I feel so sorry for you.

It's all right.
With your broke ass.

Jesus.

I get the whole prodigal
son thin you're rolling through,

but I mean, look at
your poor brothers here.

It's practically inhumane.

Look, I just don't
want you telling me how

to live my life or where.

Got a little joke for you.

Why did Jesus
Christ, our Messiah,

never moved to New York City?

Because he wasn't real.

No, but I get that an awful lot.

Because he searched
the entire town

and still couldn't find
three wise men and a virgin.

(everyone laughing)

It's like everyone he
encountered was stupid

and had had sex before.

- You get it, don't you, Andy?
- Screwed up lefties.

I got it, daddy.

- You got it.
- I got it.

All right. Good man.

I'm glad you get it.

(inhaling)

Dad, are you vaping?

It's CBD. It helps me relax.

Hell, with everything I read
about that city and Austin.

[Andy] Don't even
get me started.

[Dane] Yeah, Jordan, you
trying to come work out with us?

Hell yeah. At the firehouse?

No, dude, I don't go to
work when I'm off work.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, now we're
going to LA Fitness, baby.

- Ready to ride?
- What about me?

So what's been
like bumming around

with our ingrate of a brother?

It hasn't been easy, bro,
but we're making it work.

I'm honestly just worried about
how I'm gonna make money

while I'm here.

You just got into town, boy.

Just take it one step at a time.

Live in the moment.

There ain't nothing
better than getting high

after a nice pump, brother.

It's one of life's
most simple pleasures.

Taco Bell!

Didn't we just eat?

Please, no more country
music. (Car engine starting)

Seriously, man, you've
been talking smack all week.

Like we were gonna pound
forties in the parking lot

before we saw this movie.

20 minutes 'till show time.

Okay, all right,
all right. Let's go.

[Jordan] You want to come?

No, you guys go ahead.

You wanna help with the dishes?

(water running)

Dad, if you're gonna help,
you wanna gimme a little space?

(water running)

You know, you used to
be quite the little cuddle bug

when you were a kid.

I remember when you were 13

and you and Jordan
used to snuggle

and cuddle underneath the
blanket and watch movies.

I remember y'all
watching "Excalibur" often.

You know how special
a friend like that is, right?

There are gifts in life, Ben,

that you just can't take
for granted as a man.

And having a friend like
that is definitely one of them.

I know.

Do you?

Dad, your hands are all soapy.

Not anymore.

I'm serious, Ben.

A friendship like that, it takes
commitment on both sides.

It's a bit like a marriage.

Hell, it should be
stronger than a marriage.

And you can't be lazy about it.

It's really not that deep.

Yes, it is.

That boy is struggling like you

and you need to be there for him

just like he's been there
for you all those times,

all those so many
times in the past.

I need you to listen to
me on this one, okay?

I need to know that
you're hearing me.

I get it.

Okay.

(water running)

(crickets chirping)

[Commentator] Back
here in Houston,

time now for the McDonald's
McNugget of the game.

(phone buzzes)

Fuck! Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Thank you, God.

Oh my God. Thank you, Jesus.

What's going on?

I got approved for Sittr.

What's a Shitter?

It's this house-sitting app.

They're like really
strict about vetting.

I applied like two fucking
months ago, but I got in.

We're in.

[Jeff] Never thought
I'd see you so excited

about getting a job.

Dude, look at this place.

All right, we got
our first assignment.

Look, isn't that fucking sick?

It looks nice.

We can finally get out of here.

(dog barking)

(Jeff shushing)

They let you have one guest

as long as you scan
their passport,

I think, because they
want me to stay overnight.

It's this loaded
tech entrepreneur

and he's out of town
for the weekend.

What?

I don't wanna go.

What do you mean?

I mean like, what's the plan?

We stay at a rich
person's house for two days

and then what?

I mean... What are we gonna do?

Jordan, we're regressing
every day we stay here.

I can literally feel myself

moving backwards
through puberty.

Okay, then you can go
and I'll stay here.

What?

You can't stay at my
family's house without me.

That's weird.

Hurry up. Okay.

(upbeat music)

Bye Ben.

(everyone speaking indistinctly)

- Bye y'all.
- Okay.

(alarm pings)

Ew!

It looked better in
the pictures, okay?

Holy fuck!

Oh my God.

The, I, I swear to

of these fucking motion

I shit myself a little bit.

Tackiest all fucking shit.

All they have is
fucking Guinness.

(Ben yells)

(sliding door)

Who the fuck are you?

I'm April.

Who the fuck are you?

I'm April.

Are you supposed to be here?

My stepdad owns the house

and sometimes he doesn't
tell me when he puts it

on that stupid house
sitting app, so.

[Ben] You scared the
fucking outta me.

I'm sorry, I just, I
can't jerk off at my dorm

so I have to come here
and do it sometimes.

[Ben] So you're like a student?

No, I'm an RA.

[Jordan] Don't you have
to be in school to be an RA?

Obviously not.

So do you guys want to like
hang out or something maybe?

(thunder rumbling)
(rain spluttering)

You guys have been
friends for like how long,

you've never checked
your compatibility before.

Shut the fucking up.
You're a triple Taurus.

What does that mean?

And you're a Leo, right?

That means you guys are
like not compatible at all.

Okay, I don't get
what the big deal is.

It means that you're
like astrologically opposed.

It would be like if North
was friends with South,

that would be like
fucked up, wouldn't it?

Yeah, it'd be fucked up if
directions had friendships.

What is this? Fucking Pixar?

Well, if anything, wouldn't
that be one of the reasons

that we are such good friends?

No, actually,

because sometimes
like an earth sign

can extinguish a fire sign.

Meaning that like
y'all's problems

that you have are probably
coming from some past trauma

or like an unresolved
physical intimacy thing.

Wait, have you guys ever fucked?

No. No. Jordan is not my type.

That's weird because
you guys are like both

exactly my type.

What?

I'm just saying, can you imagine
how good the sex would be

between an earth sign, a
fire sign, and a water sign?

Like I'm gonna
slip off the couch

from how wet my pussy
just thinking about it.

No, thank you. No.

No, thank you.

I'm just saying if you guys
fucked and got it over with,

it would solve
all your problems.

What problems?

Yeah. What the fuck?

Why would you say that?

Whatever. I'm just
gonna get outta here.

Good.

Have fun, like fucking
jerking off in your dorm.

Yeah, we don't wanna
fuck each other.

(birds chirping)

(dramatic music)

(bottles clanking)

Geriatric millennials
like wine, right?

I like wine.

Shit makes me nauseous.

[Jordan] Where are you going?

Um, I'm going to
some guy's house.

Do you need to use the car?

[Ben] Nope. He's
calling me an Uber.

Damn, on your sugar
daddy shit again?

[Ben] You sure you're gonna
be okay here by yourself?

[Man On Laptop] I wanna
share a story with you

about how I became rich.

Imagine your life a year
from now, two years from now,

five years from now.

What's it gonna look like?

Imagine a life with less,

less stuff, less stress.

(dog panting)

(crickets chirping)

- Benny Boy.
- Hey.

Hey.

What you got?

I brought wine.

You shouldn't have.

Come on in. Come on, come on.

So I'd like you to
meet my partner, Erica.

Mmm. Hello!

Hi.

Ben.

I brought wine.

Thank you.

I didn't know you were married.

15 years.

Yeah, we met when we
were both copy writing

for the Austin Museum
group and now she runs.

And now I run the
damn place. (Laughs)

Where's Arturo?

Arturo had to go back
home for a family emergency.

Oh, so no one's
staying back there?

Not at the moment, no.

Why don't we take
this to the living room?

How's that sound?

[Jordan] You always
said you wanted to live

with your friends.

I know.

Yeah, I don't know how any

of them were living
together before.

There's just all this
unnecessary drama,

but it is just while
I figure things out.

LA's a really big commitment.

And like a few weeks
turned into a month

and then it turned
into three months

and now I'm just like forgetting

what my whole plan was
in the first place.

I know how that feels.

Are you like homeless?

(Jordan chuckles)

I mean, we've always
found a place to crash.

Ben was pretty good at
lining the spots up.

Some were better than
others, but it got pretty rough.

We went back home for a while
and stayed with his family.

Are you serious?

Yeah, that part was
kind of nice actually.

That's crazy.

I'm

I'm actually kind of
proud of you though

for sticking to a plan.

Yeah, I mean,

after this I don't really
know what I'm gonna do.

But...

(chuckles)

"When really the unbridled
eras of baseball players"

[Ben] Oh my God.

"Is as old as Rome itself."

[Ben] Oh my God.

It's a shame.

It's a real shame you're
not writing anymore.

I mean that.

There's a texture to your words.

Like a longing for a
an idealized male form.

That's what I feel.

[Rob] So powerful.

I was pretty horny
when I wrote that, yeah.

(laughs) You kids
love that word.

Mm, come here.

Come off that thing.

Take a load off. Have a seat.

Why aren't you still writing?

I thought about like
doing something with that

when I was at UT but
after I graduated, after 2020,

I was just like,

it was enough just to
like try to exist, you know?

- Mm.
- Wow.

My friend and I, we
came up with this plan

to crash at our friend's
places without paying any rent

for like the whole year.

It has been a lot
more exhausting

than either of us
thought it would be.

You know, I think it was,

it was Virginia Wolf who said,

"To write one must have
a room of one's own."

"To write one must have money

and a room of ones own."

[Rob] Yes. Money.

Which is money is
a huge part of it.

She was also talking
specifically about women.

- Of course, of course.
- That's part of it, yes.

But what I'm trying to say
is that like, look at it, right?

He's exhausted.

That's no way to live.

I mean, your whole
generation is so restless.

They feel the impending
doom of the future,

what little we have,

so that all they wanna
do is live these fast

and high anxiety
lives all the time,

even when you're having fun.

Right.

It's like they go to
shows and concerts and.

And it's too much.

It's like they just wanna
get trampled to death.

You ever hear the band Low?

Oh.

- We used to go to shows.
- Sit down in chairs. (Chuckles)

Can you imagine a
band doing that today?

Wow. No, that that's crazy.

(record playing)

- Chairs. - Haven't played this
in a while, babe.

Mm-hm! That brings me back.

[Rob] Yeah.

So what are you gonna
do about your lease?

Try to find a sublet.

They're gonna be so pissed.

(Anna laughs)

I am gonna have to kill 'em.

- Yeah.
- Mm.

Yeah, I don't think
there's any other option.

I'll help you.

Oh, good. Thank you.

Of course.

We can bury 'em in
our back actually.

Oh, great. Okay.

Yeah, it's a good
spot. Trust me.

(both laughing)

I am gonna ask you something

and I want you to
process it, okay?

Okay.

I know you have no
reason to trust me right now,

but just know that I've
been thinking about it, okay?

Okay.

So like, do you guys
think that you'd be cool

with someone staying back there?

Like just, just
for a little while?

Absolutely.

Of course we would.

Of course.

Being around young
people, so stimulating. (Laughs)

You're so tense.

Look at your drink.

- Come on.
- It's too full.

It's too full.

Drink, drink, drink.

(humming)

Drink, drink, drink.

(indistinct music playing
in the background)

(Erica laughing)

Come here.

(Rob and Erica laughing)

Oh. Okay. Oh.

(kissing)

(vomit splattering)

[Erica] Oh shit!

[Rob] Okay.

Get me some towels.

- Yeah.
- Hey.

Hey, hey, hey. It's okay.

(crickets chirping)

(birds chirping)

Did you sleep out here?

What time is it?

It's 10. Gotta check out.

I already packed your stuff.

I'm hungry.

(indistinct chatter)

I think I'm gonna like move
back home and save up

and then move to New
York once I figured it out.

Good man. Good for you.

Yeah.

I'll uh, figure out like a bus
ticket situation or something.

Maybe head out tonight.

Nice.

Is it weird that I kind of
wanna see the old place?

(footsteps)

It's fucking empty.

[Jordan] Wait, wait.

[Ben] What?

No.

Holy shit, this apartment
complex is such a piece of shit.

Has it been empty
this whole fuckin' time?

Looks like people have
been staying here.

Ooh shit.

It's noon.

(both laughing)

Fuck!

I hope this is the last
fucking time I move,

like one last time
and that's it.

Moving's a part of life.

You can't just not do it.

- That's impossible.
- Why not?

After this past few
months, I refuse.

I'm just gonna find
a place I love.

I'm gonna live there forever.

You can't just live in one
place for the next 50 years.

That's what old
people used to do

before the Great
Depression or whatever.

(Jordan laughing)

Fuck!

So what are you gonna do?

Um, I'm gonna work my
fucking ass off all summer

and then I'm gonna move to
the cheapest room in Brooklyn

that I can find for the fall.

That's smart, man.

[Ben] Yeah.

I um

I think I'm gonna move to LA

with Anna.

LA?

Fucking LA?

[Jordan] I knew you'd
be dramatic about this.

I'm not being dramatic

I'm not fucking
doing this with you.

I'm not being dramatic.

[Jordan] I'm not
fucking doing this

- with you.
- I'm not, (shushing)

I'm not being dramatic.

It's just fucking funny to me.

You're gonna end up
right where you began,

like the past three months

were just you fucking
circling the drain

and dragging me
along for the ride.

Forget how mean of
a fucking drunk you are.

I'm not doing this with you.

No, shit.

Yeah, you're not, you're
not doing this with me

because you're
bailing on our plan,

which is a really good
plan... Your plan.

And it could've worked
if you gave a fuck.

I'm taking a nap.

I didn't bail on shit...

Why are you naked?

[Ben] Because it's
200 degrees in here.

I didn't bail on shit, okay?

You told me in the car that
you wanted to move back home,

that you were gonna go
to New York on your own.

Yeah, and if you
wanted to be a good friend,

then you would've moved with me.

Why would I move with you?

We aren't having any fun or
anything, do you think we would
in New York?

Yes! Obviously, that was
the whole goddamn point.

Do you really think
things are gonna be better

between you and Anna in
LA? Because they're not.

Yeah, it's gonna
be the exact same

except I won't be there
to be your therapist.

No, it won't.

[Ben] Did she tell
you that last night?

Yes. Actually.

We had a good talk.
She apologized.

She wants me to go to LA
with her so we can be together.

And you're gonna do that?

[Jordan] Yes. I want to.

This is so fucking
predictable of you.

You're always doing this.

You're making the
safest possible choice

because you're fucking scared.

I am scared.

I'm not fucking like you.

I don't have any
other fucking choice.

You were always so scared.

You're scared of losing Anna.

You were scared of me
and us and everything that

(kisses)

What the fuck was that?

I don't know.

Just wanted to try that.

Did it make you feel anything?

- Not really.
- Me either.

Fuck! Why didn't it
make us feel anything?

I don't know.

Just didn't feel... right?

I mean, you're a good kisser.

Thanks.

Just felt weird,

and not in a good way.

Like incest vibes?

What? No. Jesus.

I just...

Why did you even wanna do that?

I don't know.

Maybe April was right.

Maybe we have all this
resentment in our systems

and we just needed to
get it out and just kiss.

She said we needed to fuck.

(sighs) I'm too drunk for that.

Me too.

Could get drunker.

(gentle music)

- You're drunker than me.
- You don't even feel any pain.

[Ben] I wish.

Come on. Here you go.

(Jordan growling in pain)

I don't wanna play anymore.

(gentle music)

Do you think I'm a bad friend?

Don't say that.

How come I feel like you
don't wanna see me again?

That's not true.

This year would've been
impossible without you.

I only made it through
because you were there for me

and all I wanted was to be
there for you in the same way,

but I never was, and I'm sorry.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

I'm just gonna miss you a lot.

You can always stay
with me when you visit LA.

I'm not fucking visiting LA.

(both laughing)

I'm trying to be nice.

Yeah, well, how about you
come visit me in New York.

I will.

You better have a
couch for me too,

- fucker.
- A couch.

I'm probably gonna be
sleeping under a staircase.

(Jordan laughing)

Suck it. We're spooning then.

You wish!

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

[Jordan] Hey, could you Venmo
me for the tacos yesterday?

[Ben] Yeah, how much were they?

[Jordan] 21.50, I think.

[Ben] 21.50 for tacos?

[Jordan] You had like five.

[Ben] Yeah, because I
thought you were paying.

[Jordan] Just send me 20.

[Ben] I filled your tank, bitch.

You should be paying me.

[Jordan] All right,
all right, shit.

You could at least
take me out to lunch.

[Ben] Fine, but we're
going somewhere cheap.
