Original subtitles

Do you think I'm broken inside?

Someday some guy's gonna get so far under your skin, he's gonna rot there.

You look really uncomfortable in that dress.

Who are you? I'm Steven.

Marco, what's your name?

I'm Lucy Albright.

Who is that? That's Steven's girlfriend.

Ex -girlfriend.

I'm not sleeping with anyone else. How am I?

Just shit with Steven.

I feel like I'm actually going crazy. And this show has come up with your

story we workshopped in January. Can you prove you wrote it? Steven, there's a

lot of shit he's not telling me.

You're probably not imagining things.

Hey, I'm Macy.

Are you my roommate?

Macy got in an accident last night.

Watch out!

This other car came out of nowhere.

I didn't know it was Macy. Drew was there the night Macy died. You cannot

anyone. I really wish you didn't tell me the flower that you drew for Macy.

This other car came around that corner really fast. It was Drew.

Nobody knows that anyone in that car or Drew doesn't even know he should not be

here. I wrote a letter to the dean about me. I swear I didn't. No one else

knows. Just you and Steven and her.

You know that I wouldn't do this. I'm not going to trust anything you say. Can

you please get out?

Do you think Steven could have written it?

Why, no, of course not.

You're fucking lucky I care enough to keep it to myself.

You tell people about me, and you're also admitting that you've been lying to

everyone all fucking year.

Have you really not noticed how much I like you?

Did I tell you about my trip with Evan's parents next month?

They seem really sweet.

You're going to come to the city this summer, and you're going to work for my

dad's firm.

He's going to make sure you get into any law school you want.

Why do you still want to help me?

Because I love you.

What can I do? Get drunk with me. You need to shut my brain off.

You know I'm really happy for you, right?

Yeah, of course I know that.

I'm never going to get used to saying the word fiancé. Hi, lady.

And to Evan's parents, Valerie and Paul, this has been such a beautiful day.

Thank you for hosting this.

You're supposed to wait for the cheers.

And I have to thank my best friends, Pippa and Lucy.

They're the ones who convinced me to pursue Evan in college after he

tried to friend zone me.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you can laugh, but it's true.

No, it's not.

Yes, it is.

Hey,

are you sure you guys don't want to sleep here tonight?

It's such a long drive.

No, I don't think so. Max and I have some stuff in the mornings.

When are you two moving in together anyway?

Soon. Yeah, soon, for sure.

Too bad you have to work today, especially since it's a Saturday.

And what about you?

What about me?

You're seeing someone. It's obvious.

I am genuinely so single right now.

I think you're lying.

I'm hanging out with this girl, but we're not dating. It's just sex, and I'm

saying anything more about it.

Guys, we're cutting Steven's hair.

Fine, fine, fine.

You don't fucking touch the clippers.

Okay. As long as I get to trim your bald.

I'll get the clippers.

Let me get just a second in.

Oh, stop, Wrigley.

Oh,

hey.

Hey. Sorry.

Did you need the bathroom?

No, no, I was just fixing my makeup.

Okay.

Hey, are you having fun?

Yeah.

Yeah, everyone's super nice, so... That's good.

I can't do this.

I've been trying today for Steven, but I know he wants everyone to be cool

and...

I just need you to know I will

never forgive you for any of it.

Hi.

Did I just, like, chain you to a piece of furniture while you stay another day?

I wish.

My classes start Monday. No, I'm already having separation anxiety. I know. I

know. I'm going to miss you so much.

Thank you for taking care of me all summer.

Of course.

Are you nervous about going back?

No.

Well, if that little gremlin even looks in your direction, you call me.

Same goes for cunt girlfriend.

I'm not even worried about him. Honestly, I was in some sort of

last year.

He was always bad. I just ignored it, you know?

And Diana did me a favor. She did?

Mm -hmm. He's rancid. Yeah.

Hey, Lydia.

Mom said the food's almost here.

Finished packing, Chris?

Almost. You have to take care of him at school. And please make sure he doesn't

date anyone, Lane. I got you.

And I still can't believe you chose Baird over Colgate.

Well, the girls are hotter at Baird.

They seem so happy.

That's cute.

So cute.

The first week or so, there might have been a bit of a learning curve, but

everyone at the firm had positive feedback.

Thanks, Daddy.

This has been such a great summer.

It really has. Thank you. You did good.

But none of that matters unless you ace the LSAT. I can get you a million

letters of recommendation.

If your LSAT scores aren't good, you might as well not even apply anywhere.

I'll be right back.

Just go to the restroom.

Hey, I just got to tell you, I really appreciate everything you've done for me

this summer. It means a lot, and thank you so much for this iPhone.

I love it. Listen, Steven, you're a smart kid, but I'm not blind.

I saw how you operated over the summer. You're only honest when it serves you,

and you're a very skilled manipulator, which is fine in moderation.

But I'm telling you now, if you are not able to control that part of yourself,

it is going to get you in a lot of trouble.

And I have no interest in my daughter being anywhere near trouble.

I totally understand.

I completely understand.

I really do.

Sorry about that.

Not at all.

So, senior year.

Yeah.

You excited?

Oh, yeah.

It's going to be great.

a coffee you didn't have to do that i wanted to oh my god i can't believe you

got a single i know i'm just so relieved i'm across the hall from you guys again

i don't know what i would do it's gonna be so fun

It's amazing.

It's like I have a computer in my pocket. What?

How's the camera?

Oh, my God.

How's the camera? Watch this.

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

I'm adorable.

I know.

Hey, I got that. I got that. I got that. What are you doing? I got it. It's

heavy. I got it. I got it.

It's all right. Are you going to be this romantic all year?

Just don't want you to hurt your knee.

Thank you. I already heard it. I fell off a deck, remember?

Just go easy on it, please.

Oh, fuck, fuck. What, what, what?

Oh, I'm fucking with you.

I'm sorry.

Oh, wow, your face.

Come on.

Hey. Ah, Evan.

You're such a handsome young man. Good to see you, man.

Hey. Hey. What's up, man?

What happened?

Missed you.

Yeah, you too.

How's the new spot?

Yeah, it's great. You guys got to come by later.

How's the team? You get clear for anything?

Yeah, no.

Coach doesn't want to risk me getting hurt again.

Everyone's scared of getting sued.

Yeah, sorry, man. No, it's fine.

I'm still going to help out with the team and, you know, learn about it and

coaching and whatnot, so it's good. It's good.

Team's having a barbecue tomorrow. You guys got to come.

Yeah, sure. Let me ask Bree to make sure she's cool with it.

Wait. You need brief permission?

No, I don't need our permission, but, you know, like... Lame.

I'm just trying to be good.

Well, how's Drew?

How's he doing?

I don't know. He's not speaking to me.

I gotta shit!

Hey, man, it's probably just better if we don't ask about the Drew stuff, you

know?

Why? Is it still that bad?

No, yeah, he's trying to fix things, but Drew pretty much blames him for

everything still, you know?

He regularly acts like he's fine, but it really upsets him when people... ask

him about it so wow yeah yeah okay honestly last year was fucked in general

know probably better if we just forget all of it yeah you're probably right

Do you guys think I'm crazy signing up for Marion's class again? I feel like

still thinks I'm an absolute freak.

Why did you sign up?

To redeem myself?

I'm sure you'll be fine.

I hope so.

She's hosting this poetry thing at her house tomorrow, and I really don't want

to go, but I feel like I should show face.

I could sign up for the class if you want, so you don't have to go alone.

Wait, are you serious? You would do that? Yeah. I need an English credit

I'll go to the register tomorrow.

My God, you're such a good friend.

How is Santa Barbara? You've barely talked about it. Are you and Evan, like,

getting married?

Definitely not.

This has been kind of a weird summer.

Weird how?

I don't know.

I guess Evan, he's been different.

Like, he's uncomfortable all the time. I don't know if it was being around his

parents or something I did.

I don't think it's anything you did.

Yeah, probably just a different environment. I'm weird as fuck around my

parents.

I just miss how it used to be.

Hey, is Evan coming tonight?

Yeah, he's going to meet us there.

He's pre -gaming with Wrigley and Steven.

Cool.

Cool, cool, cool.

Love that.

Have you spoken to Wrigley at all?

No. I'm not exactly his favorite person. In fact, I think I am his least

favorite person.

Sorry. It is what it is. I just hope we can be civil.

Steven, on the other hand, I will skin alive.

Agreed. I still can't believe he did that to you while you were wearing a

coconut bra. I mean, the disrespect is unparalleled.

Honestly, guys, Diana did me a favor.

I'm not even upset about it anymore.

It's like being away from him, the hypnosis wore off.

Honestly, Diane did me a favor.

You said that twice.

What?

Nothing. You seem really good.

Yeah, I just wanted to focus on school this semester and I didn't want to talk

to guys.

All right.

I'm ready. Let's take a shot.

Are you going to leave it like that?

Like what?

Your makeup. You only did one eye.

What?

Fuck. How did I even... I'm sorry, Kai.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. Are you okay?

How did I do that?

Please.

Shots? Yes.

I don't think he's here. Don't worry.

Lucy!

Lucy, hey!

This is Free, Pippa. Hi. Hello, Lydia's brother.

Nice meeting you.

I lost my roommate somewhere, so I'll find you guys later. Yeah.

Go. Have fun.

Bye.

He's a freshman.

I said nothing. Hey. Hi, you found me.

You look good. Thank you.

Hey, say hi to us, too.

Hi, Pippa.

Hey, Lucy. Hi.

So, uh, how long you guys with me? We just got here.

I missed you.

Evan.

Hey. Oh, hey. Wow.

You're back. Yeah, man. Did people miss me? Some people. Yeah.

Yeah. Jesus.

Uh, this is Leo. He was studying abroad last year.

This is my girlfriend, Bree.

Hi. That's Pippa. Hey. And that's Lucy.

Hi.

Hey, nice meeting you guys.

I'm going to go to play some pool in Denmark.

Come find me later, yeah? Yeah. All right, be sure. Nice to meet you guys.

to see you, man.

Are you friends with him?

Yeah, kind of.

Hey, there's a faster bar this way. Oh, okay. Yeah, let's go.

Hey, you want to stay in this line? I feel like I've really committed to it.

Okay. Okay, yeah.

Hey, I really missed you.

I miss you, too.

Hey,

you, Pippa, out of the line.

What? Are you serious?

Yep, no drinks for you.

Bye.

Fuck off.

Ew.

Come on, there's going to be a keg somewhere.

Idiot football fuck.

Months later and they're still on my ass.

I'm sorry.

That's gross.

We're not going to look at that, okay?

We're just going to walk away.

Are you okay?

Hello.

Hi. Did you find your roommate?

No, I didn't. Kind of gave up on that, actually.

It's Pippa, right?

Yeah. Hey, I have to pee. Are you okay? Totally.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. It's fine.

Can I get you a napkin?

No, no, no, it's fine.

Are you sure? Oh, hey, Lucy, right?

Yeah. Yeah, you're Evan's friend.

His girlfriend's friend. Right.

That's a firm distinction there.

He's my friend, too.

You were abroad last year?

Mm -hmm.

Yeah, I was in Paris.

Oh, nice.

Yeah. We kind of sat around here.

Because you were gone? Because I was gone in Paris.

Yeah. It was.

Yeah, oh, my God.

It's so nice to meet you.

You're right.

You're crying.

So do you speak French?

No, no, I speak English.

Very loudly, apparently.

Very loud in Paris, according to French people.

I always felt like French people were assholes. Is that true?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah,

they're the worst people in the world.

Apart from Americans, they're just awful.

You know what? I bet they'd be nice to you.

Why is that?

Because you speak at an appropriate volume.

Hey,

I'm going to go find my friends.

All right.

I'll see you. Bye, Lucy.

So, why does the whole football team hate you?

I broke the quarterback's heart.

He's totally devastated.

clearly right well i'm sorry it's fine it's totally normal to have a group of

guys just blindly hating you well you don't seem very hateable

Evan, can we talk for just a second?

I really don't think we need to.

Evan, please, just give me two seconds and I will avoid you for the rest of the

year, please.

Come on, can you really not even make eye contact with me?

Make sure that you're not going to say anything to Brie.

Of course not.

I love Brie.

I do too.

It feels great, doesn't it?

Hi. Hi.

How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

I'm also good.

How's your summer?

It was good.

Yeah, I was in the Hamptons mostly.

Oh, that's nice.

I was working in the city.

Oh, good.

With Diana and her dad's law firm.

Oh, at the firm? That's so great.

Yeah.

You're doing a really good job pretending not to hate me.

I'm not pretending.

Really?

Really?

That's surprising.

Look, we don't have to talk about any of it, okay?

I'm happy. You seem happy.

Fine.

Well, good for you.

Finally found something else to worry about.

Yeah. Yeah.

Everyone makes mistakes freshman year.

It was good to see you.

Lucy.

I don't, uh... I don't buy it.

I bet you've been thinking about me.

Awesome.

It doesn't work anymore, Steven.

It's just I had some issues going on last year that affected my work.

What kind of issues exactly?

Personal family stuff.

Did somebody die?

No. Was there some sort of severe injury?

No, but... Then I'm afraid I can't make an exception.

Families do tend to exist as do the issues that come with them, but we need

get on with things regardless.

It's the last tense where it's final, all right?

I'll see you in class.

Look, I'm sorry, but the class is full. You can sign up for it next year. But

it's really important that I take it this semester.

Well, then why didn't you sign up for it over the summer when everyone else did?

But it's really... The class is full. You can sign up for it next year.

You're right.

I'm so sorry.

I know this was really stupid of me, but my parents are going to kill me if I

don't take this class.

I'm just like a total fucking disaster. I mean, it's only the first day and I

keep fucking everything up. All right, fine.

I'll add you to the class. Just keep track of your deadlines for now. Thank

Thank you. You're such a lace saver.

I thought we were going to dinner. That was the plan.

No, I know, but it's a favor for Lucy.

She needs me to go with her. She's scared of her teacher.

It's a long story.

I don't get why this is such a big deal. I could meet you afterwards.

It's fine.

Hey, guys.

Bree, what's up? How was your summer?

I'll see you later.

I love you.

Love you, too. Fuck you, Steven.

Yeah.

What is the attitude about?

None of Lucy's friends like you, dude. It's pretty inevitable.

No, not her attitude with me, her attitude with you.

Sense of friction.

Oh.

Just a stupid argument.

I don't think you two ever argued.

Yeah, well, she canceled plans.

And they're important.

That's not the point.

It doesn't matter.

You can still talk to me. I'm your friend.

It's just part of a bigger thing.

It's been weird all summer, like, I try and do something nice, and she says I'm

being weird and trying too hard, so I try and do something else, and she says

the same thing.

Well, why are you trying so hard?

I just want her to know I love her.

Okay. Doesn't she already know you love her?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess.

Never mind.

Oh, my God.

You cheated?

What the fuck? Why would you say that? What are you talking about?

But you did, right?

No, okay? Jesus. All right.

What the fuck?

Evan, you're a good guy, but you're a terrible liar.

I know a guilty conscience when I see one, and you have been wreaking them

ever since you stepped foot on campus. What's going on?

Okay, yeah, once.

Beginning of summer, all right?

I feel so sick, man. I've never felt like this before.

It's all right. Calm down. This is okay. This happens.

No, it doesn't. Not to me.

Who was it?

Just some random girl.

I was drunk.

I can't even look at Bree.

You know, she thinks I'm such a good guy.

You are a good guy.

You're such a good guy, it grosses me out sometimes just because you do one

shitty thing that doesn't make you bad.

Right?

Psychologist is when you do stupid shit.

You don't have to beat yourself up. It's going to be okay.

It really is.

All right. Yeah, thanks.

Thanks. Yeah, I appreciate that. Of course.

Now stop being a weirdo to your girlfriend.

All right?

That's all you got to do.

I've never been in a professor's home before.

I feel very prestigious about it. I know. I'm a fan.

Thank you for coming with me. Of course.

Well, I think I hurt Evan's feelings dancing on him.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

No, just that you've canceled on him for me.

I sent him a cute text or something.

Gorgeous. I know.

That must be her husband.

You should go talk to her.

I'm going to get a drink.

Okay.

Get some fresh air. Okay. Keep ahead of yourself.

Marianne? Lucy.

Hi. Wow.

Good to see you. Yeah, you too.

Your house is gorgeous.

Thank you.

Yeah, I just wanted to say thank you for letting me in your class this semester.

I know that I messed up last year, but I've really worked through

a lot of stuff.

Sorry.

And how are you doing now?

I'm doing really good.

Good. Yeah, very happy to hear that.

Just relax and have a glass of wine.

Okay.

I'll see you.

Sorry, I didn't realize anyone was out here.

Were you coming out to smoke?

I was, yeah, but I'll leave you alone.

If you want to smoke, smoke. I don't care.

I forgot my cigarette.

Well, you can have one of mine.

Well, I guess this was going to happen eventually.

Are you even in Marianne's class?

No, but I'm a fan of Jane Hirshfield.

Who?

Jane Hirshfield.

The poet doing the reading.

The reason this event is.

Happening in the first place?

Let's see.

Wow, that's nice.

Nice?

I'm sorry, why do you think that I owe you niceness?

Actually, the nicest thing I could do right now is walk away without saying

I really feel. Look, I'm sorry you got your feelings hurt, but Dean and I...

have a long history that you were never a part of.

And that's just what it is.

Deep down, you have to know you two weren't right for each other.

I do know that.

I know a lot.

Trust me.

There's quite a performance you gave earlier with the registrar, your

Oh, I'm not sure what that was. I was just really emotional

today.

Don't you worry.

Those weren't real tears. You were putting it on the whole crying bit.

Come on, be honest.

I really wanted him to let me in the class, and he was being a dick about it.

So I figured the easiest way to deal with him was to start crying.

Is that a normal tactic for you, then?

Acting more helpless than you actually are?

Some men respond better to little girls.

Oh.

That's very sick.

Probably true.

See you in my wife's class?

Yeah. It was her class I was trying so hard to join.

Oh, well, she'll be exceptionally flattered to hear that.

Oh, God, no. You can't... You can't tell her. That would be so embarrassing.

Okay.

I won't.

What?

Yeah, well...

I should get back in there.

It's very nice talking to you.

What's your name, by the way?

Bree.

I'm Oliver.

Hey.

Hi.

You were already asleep when I got in last night.

You love that thing more than me.

Close, yeah.

No, I don't.

I saw Lucy last night.

Did she say anything?

Nothing too interesting.

But she did try to, like, warn me or something.

Warn you about what?

You.

She told me she knows a lot about you or something.

I think it was her attempt at being cryptic.

That sounds like the kind of dramatic thing she would say.

How did it make you feel?

Turn you on?

You sound really mysterious.

So for your first few assignments, I'll pick a universal theme and ask you to do

whatever you like with it.

And for the first week, I'll ask you to write about loss.

Would anyone like to share their work out loud?

I'll read mine. Yes, Katie?

She couldn't forgive him for leaving.

Because a million times before, he told her he wouldn't.

She left the door open and said he could go. He could choose.

The world or her.

He always chose her.

Until his feathers began to fall.

The sickness was spreading.

Birds can't live forever.

Her parakeet was splintering into pieces.

She left the door open to his cage, and he still chose her. But his body was

choosing to leave. One feather at a time, it was choosing to go.

When he'd chosen morning, as the sun came in,

Glittering green, iridescent while he watched for her.

When he chose an afternoon, light as a feather against her skin.

And night, wonky.

What happened in there?

I don't know. I don't know.

Did Marianne seem weirded out?

A little bit.

I should talk to her. I should go. I'm going to go talk to her. Okay.

Yeah. That's a good idea. Fuck.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm so sorry for running out like that.

I really don't want to cause any issues this year, and I don't know what came

over me, but it's not going to happen again.

I promise.

I'm sorry.

Lucy.

Yeah.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You've got to be honest with me and tell me what's going on with you.

Listen to me.

You and I sat in my office last semester listening to your mother giving a very

detailed summary of her sex life, which in my 20 years of teaching was a first.

So I think we've been through enough awkward moments. You can cut the

and tell me what's going on with you.

Yeah, last year was weird.

It was.

There's someone who really pissed me off last year, and I promised myself that I

wouldn't let him get to me.

And I was so happy just not to think of it at all this summer.

But now that I'm back, it's just... not as easy, and I'm trying to

just rise above it all, I guess.

You can't rise above something if it's hitting you up inside, Lucy.

What do you mean?

I mean that sometimes taking the high road is overrated.

Especially if it means bottling everything up and driving yourself

at you.

Yeah.

I just want to throw myself into work. I'm so embarrassed about how I did last

year.

Are you looking for some extra credit?

Yeah, of course.

Well, I might have something for you.

Okay. I'm writing a book.

Wow.

Yeah.

It's all very, very exciting for me, but, you know, I'm one of those bizarre

people who prefer to write everything longhand.

I just... I don't know, I just think it's not the same being at a keyboard,

so... I need someone to transcribe it for me.

Would you be interested?

Yes. Yeah, that would be amazing.

Great. Okay.

So you had a meltdown and she offered you extra credit?

I mean, I managed to laugh and cry within 15 seconds, so she was probably

impressed.

But she felt extremely sorry for me. Yeah, probably that.

Let's go sit with the hot guy.

For you guys, not for me.

Uh,

yeah, sure. Hey, hi.

Hey. Hi.

How's your guys' day?

Are you guys high? No, no, I just had a little bit of a psychotic break. Oh, in

the first week?

Yeah, I moved quickly.

Hey, guys.

Leo, back from China.

No, France.

Lucy, I've been thinking about you a lot lately.

And I realized I owe you an apology.

Okay, I'm really sorry for hurting you so badly last year.

I embarrassed you, like, over and over and over again, and you kept forgiving

no matter what. I'm sure that made you feel terrible about yourself.

That probably eroded any sense of dignity you had. That's my fault.

And I own that.

The thing is, I knew that I was still in love with Diana.

And it was so fucking wrong of me to use you like that.

So deeply shitty of me.

So anyway, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry.

Okay.

See you around.

You're right. I am still mad.

And I know you probably love that, but I swear to God, Steven, if you keep

fucking with me, I will destroy your life.

And you can go tell everyone I wrote the letter. I don't give a fuck. I will

tell everyone what you did in the car that night, starting with Diana, and I

will do it so happily.

Hey, I'm gonna head out, okay?

Okay.

Love you. Thank you for coming. I'm going to go too, actually. Yeah.

Okay.

Congratulations. You guys are both okay, right?

Of course.

I love you.

Love you.

Bye. Love you. Bye.
