Hey, mom.

Studying harder?

Probably studying.

Both.

Well, right here.

Oh, that's good.

Here, I can use some tea.

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

No problem.

So is it really that tough?

I never think I'm back to school at my age.

Oh, hey.

I mean, you were the one who told me to follow my dreams.

Now it's your turn, right?

Oh, yes, but you are smart and I'm getting old and my memory and my concentration is

different now, you know.

Oh, hey, I mean, it can't be that bad.

Let me see what you're studying.

Oh, yes, check this.

Yes, can you help me with this?

It's so difficult to me and I need to improve my English.

I mean, it doesn't look that tough.

Yeah, you think?

I think maybe you're just getting a little overwhelmed, you know?

And I have the exam next week, so I need to memorize some things and then the pronunciation.

Hey, hey.

Yeah.

You're getting yourself worked up.

This is no problem.

I am so lucky to have a step mom like you.

I'm lucky to have a step mom like you.

You know what?

I think what you could use is probably a little back massage to loosen you up.

Oh, yes, it could be because it makes me so stressful.

Here.

Oh, I study.

You do some studying while I give you a little massage.

How's that sound?

It's all right.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Hey, Ma, before I give you massage, I just want to let you know you're an inspiration,

You know, going back to school after all these years, trying to do your best.

You've inspired me.

And so I just I just hope that I can inspire you to.

I mean, I don't mean to make you feel embarrassed or anything.

I just you've done so much for me.

So like, I want to be able to help you to.

You are so cute.

But you know, it's so hard to me studying English.

But I think your father is so proud of you.

Well, I'm proud of you, Ma.

Oh, thank you so much.

So needs to make money for my show.

So it's so important this exam.

Well, you know, I know this is important to you.

Well, you're important to me.

So I just want you to know that.

OK, thank you to support me.

Of course.

Here, let me take a look at this.

Yeah, because it's so different in Spanish like in English.

So I don't know.

Oh, yes.

Listen, listen, it's not that hard.

OK, let me take a look at this.

It's so hard for me because I don't understand where I put this because in Spanish it's in another way.

OK, I see what's happening here.

Let me take a look.

Yeah.

So you see this question mark here?

You don't need it there.

You don't put any question marks before the sentence in English.

In fact, that character doesn't even exist in English.

It's only at the end.

Only at the end.

And so that's if you're asking a question.

So if you're trying to like, if you're screaming or yelling or making like a strong statement, you put exclamation point at the end.

Just at the end.

So let me see you try.

OK.

So I know this is so important because I want to help your father and I need to graduate because we need to pay a lot of bills.

So this is so important.

That's exam.

But it's so hard for me.

It's OK.

Listen, one sentence at a time.

All right.

Let me see you write one sentence right now.

OK.

And then you put it at the end.

Yes, that.

Perfect.

Yeah.

There you go.

I know it's tough right now, but you know, perfect.

You help me a lot.

Thank you.

I mean, it's the least I can do.

Right.

You've helped me so much.

So I want to be able to help you too.

And you know, you're going to college for a reason, right?

Yeah, I need to improve my English.

So maybe you can get a better job, too.

Right.

Yes.

This is the most important reason that I am a study.

Here.

Let me reheat your teeth for a little bit.

Oh, yes.

And I'll bring it back to you.

OK?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I keep going.

You keep working on this.

Yes.

I'm going to help you some more.

All right.

Thank you.

Hey, Ma.

You look really good.

Just want you to know.

Thank you.

That's not a problem.

I am going to go heat this tea for you, all right?

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

Plus, while that's heating, I'm going to go ahead and grab you a book that I think will

help you.

Oh, really?

You know?

What book?

It's just English for ESL.

You know, ESL, I mean, English is the second language.

Just give me one moment, all right?

And I'm going to go grab it, all right?

OK.

I think your father will be so proud of you to help me a lot to study.

Oh, please.

I'm happy to help.

Listen, you start doing English better, you get your degree, and the sky's the limit from

there, right?

Oh, yes.

You're right.

Thank you.

All right.

So I'm going to go ahead and grab that book for you.

OK.

I'll wait for you.

All right.

Love you, Ma.

Thank you.

I'll go grab it.

OK.

I think I got it.

Yep.

There it is.

All right.

Here, Mom.

Oh, my God.

It's so big and heavy.

Yeah.

I mean, learning isn't light, so neither is that book.

I can read all the books in one day.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Don't read the whole thing.

No, that's not even realistic.

Just read what you can.

Maybe try to get through a couple chapters, right?

Yeah.

I can read all the books in one day.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Don't read the whole thing.

No, that's not even realistic.

Just read what you can.

Maybe try to get through a couple chapters, right?

OK.

I promise to start tonight with all of this.

Oh, my God.

No, just one chapter at a time.

Just take it slow.

Digest everything that you can digest.

All right?

Oh, thank you for helping me.

You are the best.

Stop some air.

All right.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Can you put me my tea, please?

Ma, it's in the microwave.

I'm going to be late for class.

Can you just grab it when you get the chance?

Yes, it's cold.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

Of course.

All right.

All right.

I'm going to go drop to class now.

All right?

OK.

Be safe.

Love you, Ma.

Bye.

Love you.

I love you.

Hey, Ma.

How's the book coming along?

It is so hard, but I read that 700 pages.

Wow.

And I take some notes for the charter.

What, 700?

Yeah.

700 pages.

Wow.

And I take some notes for the charter.

Yeah.

Well, 700 is pretty good, Ma.

A lot, I know.

But I keep studying, so.

It's pretty hard that you're reading so much.

Yes.

So what is this?

So.

What is this?

So.

What is this?

So.

Oh.

What is that?

The word?

Large?

Large.

OK.

Large, that is all.

Because I'm in the shadow.

And.

You're doing a really great job getting through this book, though, for sure.

Oh, yes, she is so certain.

Oh, yes, I take a note about these.

I don't know.

Oh, you're taking a lot of notes, Mom.

Yeah, you're doing really good.

You just got to keep reading and you'll understand all the words.

Are you still having trouble with the book?

Are you getting the hang of it pretty well?

I don't know.

You've got me all alone.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Ten.

Oh.

Which word?

Oh, this word.

Come on.

Keep doing that. I'm gonna bust.

You know, honey, what time you see?

Almost five.

Yeah, but...

I have a cloud with a security.

Don't stop. Hold on.

I need to leave.

Here, I need to leave.

Hold on. Hold on.

Oh, fuck.

Mmm.

Wow.

Oh, Nick.

Oh, my God.

Wow.

Look at my face.

Oh, I need to change because I have my class soon.

And it's close to five, so I need to leave right now.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

I'm gonna go take a shower and put on a fresh pair of clothes.

Yes, better.

Oh, yeah.

I'm gonna go take a shower.

Okay.

I'm gonna go take a shower.

Hey, mom.

What you doing?

You're starting class already?

Yes, in two minutes.

I have a class and I'm soon meeting.

Oh, wow.

Do you think the whole class is gonna be in attendance?

Yes, I need this class because it's for my extra credit.

Oh, okay.

So only students that want extra credit.

Yeah, yes.

All right.

I need for this.

So I'm starting old.

Well, you think you might need some help?

Oh, if I need you, I call you.

Thank you.

I mean, well, I was thinking maybe I can keep you company at least.

Oh, I don't know because my class is in one minute.

But oh, maybe, maybe.

Yes, I need you.

Yeah, for sure.

Especially maybe if you need some help understanding some of the words and stuff.

Yeah, I can help you with that at least.

Yes, I think it's a good idea.

Here, please.

Well, I'm here.

So whatever you need.

Thank you.

You're so cute.

You need any help with that?

Oh, no.

Thank you, Nikki.

I can't believe.

So how soon does your class start?

Oh, I think in two minutes.

Yes.

Okay.

Well, make sure you're logged in.

Yes, I have to put this.

Hey, Mom, relax.

Slow down.

Yes, I need to relax.

Geez, you're tense.

Yeah, I know.

So, so important.

And I don't know.

That's what I'm here for, you know.

Just to help you calm your nerves.

Yes, but the class coming soon.

And I hope I'll be ready for this.

I'm sure you're ready for it.

You've been studying so hard.

You're so cute, but you know this exam is important.

Relax, Mom.

It's going to be okay.

Yes, but the class, I think, almost in one minute now.

And now.

And now.

Oh, you know, before the class starts, you should take your pants off.

What?

You should take your pants off before the class starts.

But the teacher is there, so I know I can't.

I'm going to see, and it'll help you calm down a lot more.

But I don't know.

Mom, they're not going to see, and I promise you, it's going to calm you down a lot.

Take your pants off.

That's fine.

Okay, that's good.

And the panties.

What's the point in taking your pants off if you don't take your panties off?

The class.

They're not going to see anything.

Don't worry about them.

See, that's the problem.

You're worrying too much, Mom.

Okay, I'll follow you.

Let me take care of you.

I'll follow you, okay?

There, yeah, let me take care of you.

I'm trying to help you out here.

Okay.

There's nothing there.

Okay.

Let me check here.

Oh, I see the class is almost at the start.

Oh, Nicky.

I'm not distracting you too much.

Thank you for your help and your books helped me a lot to study.

I told you that book would help you.

Yeah, I was reading it all night.

Are they all signed in now?

Yes.

So I think soon.

You know, I think I have an idea.

What idea?

I have an idea.

What idea?

I have an idea.

You know, I think I have an idea.

What idea?

To take those pants off all the way off and turn around.

Okay.

You're still going to be doing the class and they're not going to know.

Don't worry about it.

Okay.

Give me those panties.

Oh, yeah.

Just the panties are fine.

That's good stuff.

So are you logged in now?

No, so sorry.

Hi.

Hi, everybody.

Yeah.

Yeah, it looks like everybody's on now.

Yes, I need to put my code on.

This will help relax all those nerves.

Don't worry, you'll get that extra credit.

You've been studying so hard.

Yes, you know, it is so important.

Are you logged in yet?

Oh, yeah.

I'm in my class now.

Okay, good.

Well, turn around for me.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm here.

I did my homework.

Exercise one.

Okay.

Yes, it was easy.

I was reading a book.

Okay.

Let's see.

Hopefully this will help you with that extra credit.

Your book helped me a lot.

Okay.

Bring that asshole closer to me.

Yeah, it's a little better.

Uh-huh.

B, C.

Okay.

Look at you.

Why am I an academic?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God.

I'm really, really.

Oh, first step.

Yes, first step.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Oh, thank you for giving me this extra credit.

Oh, my stepson gave me a book and this helped me a lot.

Oh, wait, are you doing a book report, ma?

Yeah.

Oh, why do you say so?

I can help you with that.

Yeah, help me a lot with your book.

Thank you.

Well, like, you got to get the title in, right?

Uh-huh, yeah.

And the author.

Uh-huh.

And?

Do you have that?

Uh-huh.

Is there a central character?

Yes, please tell me.

Well, I mean, I don't know.

I didn't, I mean, I gave you a book to help you,

but what about the book that you're reading a story, right?

Yeah, but I don't remember the title of the story.

You remember?

Yeah.

It's not my book, but you definitely want the title.

Yeah, no, I know, I know, I know, I know.

You want the central character?

Yes.

You got to write all that down.

You got to make sure you have that.

Uh-huh.

So, yes, perfect.

Ah.

Now, is there a conflict?

No, no, Shazi, don't remember the tense.

Um, but I think it's not so important.

So, I cannot fill this with the page.

And, oh, yes, my Sanchez here.

What about the antagonist?

Is there, like, a clear antagonist?

Yeah, this is so hard for me.

You're doing great, relax.

Yes, so, I think that I graduate so soon.

There we go.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

You got all that written down, right?

Yes, I think I complete everything,

so I only, I want to review one more time, and that's it.

All right, review it.

So, yeah, um, perfect.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, yes.

You know, Nicky, honey, that it's so important for me.

Hey, Mom, a degree does not measure success or intelligence.

Yes, but please, let me do by myself.

Oh, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

I'm close to it.

Let's see this.

Oh.

Oh, I need this because it's so important.

I mean, yeah, it's pretty important, I guess, but don't stress that much about it.

Yes, you know, I am, my English is not very looking forward,

but...

Well, you know, if you have trouble with your English,

I'm sure there's still a lot of other jobs you can take on.

Yes, you think.

Of course.

Oh, Nicky, let's just back.

Oh, hi, teacher.

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

What's next?

Essay.

Uh-huh.

500 words.

Okay, okay, yes, I'll do it.

So, Nicky, can you help me with this, with the essay?

500 words?

Yes.

No sweat.

Okay.

You gotta make sure you start off with an intro, though.

Please, help me.

Okay, teacher, yes, yes.

Bye-bye. Bye.

Okay. Bye.

Nicky, can you help me to do this report,

but I wanna do by myself,

so I need to a little help from you.

Well, it's a 500-word essay, right?

Yeah, but how can I start with this?

Well, you need to start with an introduction.

Introduction?

Yeah, well, what's your essay about?

All right, next, after introduction?

Yeah, well, that's what you go in,

that's what you put in introduction.

After that, you wanna have probably good two

or three body paragraphs, right?

Uh-huh.

With supporting arguments?

Okay, arguments.

Introduction, arguments, and?

Well, and then you need to have a closing statement at the end.

I think it's close.

How many words?

Well, you said it's 500, right?

It's 500, oh my God, it's a lot.

It's not that bad.

No?

No, it's like page and a half.

Yes, so, okay, so I wanna start introduction

about talking by myself.

Well, it's about the book, right?

Oh my God, where is my mind?

Yeah, okay.

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Relax, ma.

Here, take this.

Whew.

That's an argument.

That's the second part.

Oh.

Mm-hmm.

Whew.

Uh-huh, and okay, I remember this about the characters.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh, and that part.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Let me see what you got so far.

Yeah, review this, so maybe you can...

These are good notes, these are good.

Yeah?

Yeah, keep going.

Okay, I'm doing right?

Yeah, you're doing right.

Uh-huh.

Oh, Nicky, thank you for your help.

Yeah, you're doing great.

You got all the highlights in there and everything.

Keep it up.

Thank you so much.

Yes, happy to help.

Oh.

Oh, you feel so good.

You think your nerves are getting a little calmer now?

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Ah.

Hmm.

Ooh.

Oh.

Ah.

Ah.

Oh.

There you go.

Yeah, keep writing those notes.

Mm-hmm.

I'm blistered down.

Yeah.

Mm.

Oh.

Ah.

Mm.

Yeah.

Oh.

Ah.

Mm.

Mm.

Oh.

Ah.

Oh, Nicky.

Mm.

Oh.

Oh.

I don't know what I'm reading.

No book.

What do you mean?

That's why I don't remember the book.

I'm sure you remember the book.

You got writer's block.

Listen, why don't you sit up,

give yourself a chance to refresh.

Yeah.

Get back to it.

Yeah.

Okay.

Ah.

Mm.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

There you go.

Ah.

Ah.

Give me a second.

What would this...

Just give yourself like a moment

to recalibrate your head, you know?

Oh.

I would read these.

I mean, sometimes you need a little break, you know?

Otherwise, you're not going to get anywhere.

You can't draw water from a rock, right?

Oh.

Okay.

Let me...

All right.

Let me just...

Let me just...

Let me just...

Here.

Yes.

I mean, what do you got so far, ma?

Yes, I have a review.

All these chapters.

Uh-huh.

Yes.

The highlighter.

Oh.

Well, what do you have so far?

Like, you highlighted and...

Yes, I forget about the characters,

so the description.

Oh.

Oh.

And that's all you got right now?

Yeah, but this is a bunch of stuff, so...

Well, it's okay.

It's okay.

This is just a rough draft, you know?

No.

The final draft, we're going to type, you know?

Come on.

Why is it right here?

I think you just need to be more patient with yourself, Mom.

Oh, yeah.

It seems to be leaving me.

Oh, shit.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, me.

That's so good.

Oh.

Oh, me.

So how's it going now?

Memory jog?

I want to win.

Yeah.

I'm going to jog that memory, Mom.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

I love that book.

Are you almost done, Mom?

Yes.

Yeah?

Oh, yes.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, me.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

You got to get that thing finished, Mom.

Oh, yeah.

If you want to get that extra credit.

Yes, that credit.

Oh, that book is so nice.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Oh.

So how many paragraphs do you have so far?

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Oh, me.

Come on, Mom.

You got to finish that work up.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, you're going to want to review that soon.

You're so kind.

So I think I'm done.

I need to write that idea in my notebook now.

Uh-huh.

Oh.

Yeah.

Oh.

Here, why don't you show me the notes?

Oh, yeah.

Let me see what you got so far.

Yeah, check this.

Check my notes.

I mean, you got a lot of stuff filled out so far.

Yeah?

Yeah.

And check the words, please.

It actually looks like you're getting the hang of it.

I don't know why you're being so hard on yourself.

Oh.

I mean, I think this looks great.

Yeah, it's...

Yeah.

Everything is okay?

Uh-huh.

You know, it's so far, there are no actual errors.

You're just getting so nervous.

But this is so important.

I know, but...

I feel so down.

But like, getting so nervous like that and getting so overwhelmed

isn't going to help you, ma.

Oh.

I think you just need to relax about it.

Like I've been saying.

What do you say?

Oh, that feels so good.

Oh, you feel me a lot, so I want to help you now.

Every time you say that.

Oh, I'm just trying to help, you know?

That's what I'm here for.

If you're close to me, I will not be close to you.

Mmm.

I guess you're really happy with how much I've helped you.

I like this.

Oh, the night cream.

We're not done yet, so don't forget that.

What the fuck?

So, ma.

Something we really gotta do is we gotta pound this information into you, you know?

Why? Yeah.

It's gonna be hard. It's gonna be rough.

But it's the only way to get that in you.

Here, why don't you get up on top?

We can pound it into you some more.

Yeah, funny.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, my God.

That feels really good.

Oh, yeah.

Niki, you think you're absorbing the knowledge a little better now?

Jeez, my ass is so wet.

What is this?

Careful.

Be careful, Niki.

You're putting my phone on the same...

Hurry up.

Oh, my God.

Here.

Oh, my God.

You really shouldn't have too much concern.

You're so smart.

I think...

And, you know, you're beautiful.

You're the best stepmom out there.

You are my best stepson.

And you heal me alone.

That's what I do best.

Oh, my God.

You know I love you, ma.

I love you too.

I just want to help, you know?

But, you know, we can't tell Dad about this tutoring, right?

No.

It's our seriously.

Can you keep that seriously?

I'll keep it. You keep it too.

Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, baby, if you do really well on that classic,

can you borrow the car?

Oh, yeah.

You can't have it.

Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I need to write.

You need to write what?

Using my laptop.

Oh, yeah.

Go ahead.

You got this.

Yeah.

Let me check.

Go on. Check it out.

Yeah.

It's fresh in your head.

Here. You need your notes.

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.

Perfect.

This is the...

Okay.

Oh, my God.

Oh.

Don't forget the punctuation.

Oh, my God.

Yes. I never forget.

Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Don't forget to review those notes.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Uh-huh.

Mm.

I say it's coming along all right now, Mom?

Almost now.

I'm really glad you're starting to understand it now.

Yeah. Oh, thank you.

I just had to pound it into you, you know?

Not a good deal.

Oh, yeah.

Mm.

Stick one. There we go.

Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah.

Mm.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Hey, Mom. Yeah?

You might want to close that laptop for a moment.

I'm thinking about the count again.

Oh, yeah? Yeah, I'm gonna try.

Oh.

Mm.

Oh.

Oh.

Mm.

All right, slip off.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

Mm.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Count that as an A+.

Mm.

Mm.

Ah.

Mm.

So what do you think?

You think you got the hang of it?

Oh, wait.

Ah.

You missed that sound the best one.

Ah.

Say that again when you have an A.

Ah.

You have my best

steps.

Thank you

for helping me a lot.

Just, hey,

don't tell Dad, okay?

No. Keep secrets between

you and me.

So you got it just about done now?

Almost done.

That's great. Hey, you want some more

tea, Ma? Oh, yes.

I need it.

All right, well, let me take a sip first and I'll pass you the other.

Okay.

Oh, thank you

for your help for everything

and you are the best one.

Hey, that's what I'm here for, Ma.

That report,

it was the best one.

Hey, just get straight

A's, all right? You get the degree

and then you let me borrow that car.

Let me think about it.
