(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.

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)

(dog barking)

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)

[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.

(phone falls)

(suspenseful music)

(crickets chirping)

I am telling you, man,

this place is gonna be fucking sick.

(alarm pings)

What the fuck!

(keypad chimes)

(alarm pings)

(keypad chimes)

(door unlocks)

Ew!

It looked better in the pictures, okay?

Holy fuck!

Oh my God.

The, I, I swear to God, every time one

of these fucking motion sensor things goes off,

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.
