Original subtitles

Still studying, I see.

This is it. The big finals.

I just don't want to screw it up.

Well, I'd offer to help, but, you know, your stepdad is a college dropout, so...

Yeah, but look at all you've accomplished without a degree.

Well, yeah, I mean, you know, a lot of it was luck.

And a lot of it was hard work.

I know. My mom really did a good job when she was taking you.

It's just so confusing.

That Roman Empire, well, you know, that's not an easy topic.

For me, it's the dates.

Like, trying to remember the dates that things happened.

I don't even care, but, like, I've never been good with numbers.

That is a lot of information.

You know, I thought history would just be a bunch of reading.

But who told me I would have to retain this information?

You know, I think I want to drop out, too.

It's just been so stressful.

Well, I can see why it would be stressful. I mean, that's a lot.

It's so much.

All of this information.

Not to mention just being on a final. Wow.

Exactly. Brings back bad memories. Yeah, and I mean, she wants around like seven

to eight pages, but there's so much here. I would have to write a whole

I mean, I could go through seven to eight pages of talking about health and

disease during that time period.

I can see that.

This is ridiculous. I almost just want to look up and see if I can find any

previous reports.

But I know that she'll just fact check me.

You know, maybe you could help me study.

Like, quiz you or something? Yeah, I mean, I left my flashcards in my car,

so I'm too lazy to go grab them. Oh, I get that.

Yeah, but, oh.

Look at that, there's a whole section on going from a republic to an empire.

Oh, lamb.

I always thought it was going from an empire to a republic, you know?

Because they did have a senate, though.

I don't even understand what either of those are.

I think I've literally passed all my classes from Google.

I mean, Christian and, like, rising to power in the fourth century?

Talking about the Ottoman Empire.

I have no clue what's going on here.

There's so many empires. It's like these people had a power conflict.

Yeah, they were trying to grow.

Well, it doesn't seem like they grew very far.

Well, they were thwarted in the long run.

You know, I should really start paying more attention in class.

Probably, then it'd make your studying a little easier.

Yeah, but, like, it's third period, so it's the perfect time to nap.

And, like, the way she talks about history just, like, puts me to sleep.

I'm kind of drunk. And I always play these movies, and it's like the movies

don't help.

I'm not understanding anything any better.

Well, I'm just going to have to enhance your home study, I guess.

Yeah, I'm going to need a lot more help.

I'll help where I can.

There's just so much information.

I know. I see there's a whole section in there about the scientific renaissance

and the scientific revolution.

Jesus, what was going on in France?

Looks like the empire's adoption of Christianity led to the formation of

medieval Christianism? What even is that?

Well, you know more than I do. You're studying it. I'm just reading it.

I feel like studying it would mean I would have to know a little bit.

I'm sure you'd get the hang of it.

I plan on just sitting next to someone who I know would get up half the time.

That probably works.

I mean, it got me into college.

You know, we should probably just give your brain a break and relax for a

bit. I could use a rest.

Are we thinking TV?

Yeah, yeah. All right.

Here,

you can choose.

I'm so over reality TV shows.

Yeah, we don't have to watch that.

What about this one?

Oh, yeah. I'm cool with that. Zombies. Yeah, seems interesting.

Very brain -billing.

That looks pretty gory.

It could be a little.

Weird. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't think I've seen this series before.

No, me either.

Huh.

Well, it beats, you know, talking about history.

I haven't watched the zombies in a long time.

Yeah, it has been a minute.

I think the 2008.

Yeah.

Huh.

They're really going at it.

There's like a whole family of them out there.

Just defending it on their own, huh?

Never imagined being in a zombie apocalypse.

Oh my god.

That's insane.

That's a little crazy.

Who even writes these things anymore?

I don't even know if I understand what's going on in this movie.

They're getting pretty gory in there.

I swear, all zombie movies seem the same nowadays.

That seems pretty intense.

Wow, I can't believe they even had cars.

It's supposed to be an apocalypse.

Well, I'd have to keep them running.

Wow, there's like a whole pilot. There's no way they're going to get through

that.

It's been non -stop action the whole time. I know.

It's going to be insane.

That looks interesting.

Let's go down to the air.

You know, I'm kind of getting over this show.

There's too much going on.

Yeah. Well, I can understand that.

Maybe we should watch reality TV. Yeah, that one I thought. Half -Life or

something? That'll work.

Huh.

They always have catfights.

Seems to be the commercial with every one of them. So dramatic.

I know, right?

Oh wait, so those two are together.

Yeah, I think so. But honestly, knowing Housewives, she might be doing someone

else.

That's entirely possible.

It's like a family of swingers. Right?

I wonder if that's really their house.

There's no way she's cooking in that kitchen.

No. Housewives don't cook.

They hire someone to do it.

I guess this is what we're going to watch. I need to get comfortable and

and pay attention.

Yeah, there's so much going on here. They have such dynamic drama systems.

How many cars does one family need?

Apparently six.

That's insane.

Is that an indoor swimming pool?

Why can't we have one of those?

We don't have 12 people from our family living in there.

This is just our little poser house.

They all live separately.

We drive minivans.

Wait, so the father, the mother, and the brother and sister, and the uncle and

aunt all live in the same house?

There's no way. Yeah. All fake. Yeah, I think that's some bullshit.

Reality TV is just code for fake TV.

Well, they don't even remember that you did it at all.

No.

I would imagine it's just for the show.

I can't

believe

people watch this stuff like season after season.

They all wear pastels.

They dress kind of cookie cutter. It's all the same.

Well, I think it has to do with whatever's in fashion.

Yeah, I guess men wearing scarves fashion.

I'm going to notice they never show anybody's bedroom.

No. Or eating. They're never eating. They always go get food but never eat.

They do have nice taste in color tones for their house.

Lots of yellows.

It's supposed to be a happy color.

Like all the money wouldn't make them happy.

They go so many places in one day. Don't they know it stings?

You'd think they'd have to work in order to eat.

Keep up all that stuff.

Well, you know. Everybody seems to have a damn job.

Because they all got degrees.

Oh,

she

would hit a curb in a giant SUV.

steering wheel.

I bet it's heated too. She's got all the bells and whistles on that thing. I

know. I'm sure it's Elise.

Oh, maybe one day.

Oh my god, yeah, there's so much going on.

It's like if you miss one second, you won't know what's going to happen next.

I love

how

they pan in and out from different scenarios.

It was like one second we're in the SUV with the mom and the next we're back on

the golf course with all the dads.

Such a variety.

I think we've kind of fried our brain watching this stuff.

Maybe I can help you study a little more.

Yeah, I think I should get back to that.

All right, young lady,

let's get back to your work.

Yeah, I need to get back to studying.

It's so hard to concentrate.

I don't even want to learn this stuff.

There's so much to focus on.

You just gotta put your mind to it.

It's so nice of you to take the time to help me, though.

No, I wouldn't be doing anything else.

I don't want to go.

Yeah, that would definitely be helpful. You're so helpful. I'm such a miserable

physical learner.

Sounds good to me and it's good to hear that.

Watch the rest of that show.
