[Alice]
Do you really

live in L.A. again?

I live in a one-bedroom
in Koreatown

-with five other girls.
-Well, if you ever

need some space, I think

there's some extra bedrooms
in the back.

-Who's that?
-My wife.

-Sophie Suarez,
will you marry me?
-Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

[Nat] Today's Alice's day
to drop off the kids.

Oh, sh-- I'm sorry.

Did you want to take them?

Oh, no. It's fine.

That's not the point.

Would you want to
grab dinner later?

Sounds fun.

Yesterday, during a forum,
a man publicly accused

mayoral candidate Bette Porter

of having an affair
with his wife.

-Is that correct?
-That's correct.

-[reporters clamoring]
-Shame on you!

Ms. Porter. Bette.

Do you know how humiliating
it is to be your daughter?

-Are you high right now?
-We vaped.

[Bette]
Give me your phone.

You're grounded.

[Dani]
I am damn good at my job.

But I want to work
for someone I believe in.

And I came here today
because I believe in you.

You've started your professional
life in a compromised industry.

If you want to win,

I think you need me.

-What the fuck?

-Who's that?
-What is that? What is that?

-Did you order Postmates?
-No.

-[knocking continues]
-Oh, oh, Amazon.

-Amazon comes late. No?
-No, I didn't order anything.

-Okay.
-I'll check it out.

Are you-- Okay.
All right, I'm gonna come.

-[knocking continues]
-Maybe I should call the cops.

-No. We'll just go check it out.
-[dog barking in distance]

-[doorknob rattling]
-What if they see us?

[whispers]
I'm just gonna peek.

-[Gigi] Nat?
-[keys jangle]

I know you're in there.

-Just open the door.
-Ah, fuck.

[Gigi] You didn't need
to change the locks.

I just want to talk to you.

Can-- Hi.
Can you come here, please?

-Nat. Nat, hey. Could you...
-It's, uh, my ex-wife.

-Oh. Great. That's great news.
-[Gigi] Can you at least
look at me? Nat?

I thought we were about
to get murdered.

Is somebody in there? Who is
that? Who are you talking to?

-Go home, Gigi.
-Are you fucking kidding me?

-I said, go home.
-Oh, my fucking God!

-Should I be scared?
-No, she's mostly harmless.

[Gigi]
You fucking bitch!

-What is she doing?
-Not entirely sure.

-She's back.
-Wha-- Is she...?

-Does she have...? [stammers]
-She's holding...

-[hammering]
-[Gigi] Bitch!

Fine, you won't...

Okay, yeah, no, that's a hammer.
It's a hammer.

-[Alice] I'm calling the cops.
-[Nat] No-no-no-no-no-no.

She's... it appears she's
returning her wedding ring.

[Gigi]
There.

You happy?

-I hope you're fucking happy.
-[Alice] Wow.

She's really dramatic.

-She an actress?
-Fuck you!

Wow. Okay, she's fucking scary.

-[engine revving]
-[tires screeching]

I am so sorry.

This is not at all how I
expected our first night to go.

Yeah, no, it's fine.
It's fine.

-Should I go?
-No.

No. Please don't go.

So you were married
to that person?

Yeah. She's a really
great mom.

Oh.

-Should we...?
-I mean, I don't see why not.

[Sophie]
Oh, my God. Okay.

I'm inviting my whole family
to the engagement party--

aunts, uncles,
cousins, second cousins.

I mean, you know, it's last
minute, so, you know...

[both laughing]

I, uh, pray to God
that they don't all come,

but when there's free food,
odds aren't great.

Should I invite Alice?
I can't decide

what's less weird for her,
you know?

[exhales]
I have to tell you something.

What is it?

I got a new job.

-Oh.
-I'm going to run

PR for Bette Porter's campaign.

I get to be a part of something
that I actually believe in.

Well, you should've talked
to me first.

Oh. I thought that--

I thought that you'd be
happy for me.

And I thought that
we were slowing down.

Settling into
our lives together.

-I know I am.
-We are, but...

Yeah, but we talked before
I took the job with Alice.

Why should this be
any different?

[Micah] Guys, listen,
I'm taking José to Topolino

for our first date.

You know that fancy place
near La Mill?

I haven't actually told him
this yet, but I got

this gift card, you know?
So I just thought, like,

I might as well just use it
on this really cute guy

and have, like, a great date.

'Cause it wouldn't make sense
for me to go with you guys,

'cause I'd be, like, a third
wheel, and that'd be weird.

And-- shit, that's really dumb,
isn't it? That's dumb.

-No, no-no-no, it's not that.
-Now I'm thinking

that we probably shouldn't have
our engagement party this week.

Of course we should
still have it.

Yeah, but it might be
too much, though.

[Micah]
Okay, it smells like

stress sweat in here.
Is it me?

-No.
-Yeah.

[footsteps approaching]

Hey! Morning.

You're still here.

Yeah. You want some breakfast?

I, uh, I picked up some things
from the dollar store.

-[sighs]
-Oh!

And, um, also got you coffee.

There you go. How about that?

Thanks.

It's from one
of those packet things.

Good, right?

[chuckles]

So, I heard three voices

coming from your
room last night.

-How wasted were you?
-I wasn't.

Seriously, though,

no judgment.

I don't think
I've ever had sober sex.

I need that liquid courage,
you know?

Or, like, I can't even tell
if someone's into me.

Well, just try listening,
and they'll tell you.

That's deep.

[chuckles, sighs]

I think there...

there may have been...

-a little miscommunication.
-[doorbell rings]

[sighs]

You want me to get it,

or can I finish my sando?

All right, yeah.
Your house. You get it.

What?

Yeah, delivery
for Shane McCutcheon.

No, she's not here.

Who was it?

-What'd he want?
-Just was curious

-how long you plan on staying.
-One week.

Two max.

You know what,
let's not put a max on it.

Yes.

This place is beautiful.

If you need anything special,

He'll get you
anything you need.

Thank you, Pa.

Hey.

You deserve it, cariño.

You raised me well.

Thank you.

You raised me to
do what's right

and to be an
independent thinker.

And I've worked for you for
every day of my adult life,

and I couldn't be
more grateful.

But...

Bette Porter
offered me a position.

She wants me to run PR

for her campaign.

[Dani sighs]

Can you please say something?

What do you want me to say, hmm?

You want my blessing,
my permission?

You're not gonna get it.

If you think
she has something to offer you

-that I haven't given you here--
-Dad.

Take your things.

I'll make sure
someone walks you out.

I proposed to Sophie.

So that's good news, at least.

That's a lot for one morning.

Dad.

-Dad, wait.
-We're finished here.

Just because you have a day off

doesn't mean that I have
a day off. Good morning.

I could have taken care
of myself.

Well, you've actually proven
that's not entirely true.

Good morning.

Oh, look, that's for me.

-Thank you so much.
-You're welcome, Ms. Porter.

Oh, fantastic.

Okay, so, it's mailer day.

So, you sit here,

-and you're gonna put the--
-[sighs]

-Sorry.
-Okay. You're gonna put

these labels on these mailers.

Okay, how long
do I have to do this for?

Until they're finished.

Can Jordi come help?

[exhales]

I don't really want you hanging
out with Jordi right now.

Why? I didn't ditch
because of her.

Look, if you want to call
one of your classmates

to come help you--

I hate everyone
at that fucking school.

[sighs]

Well, then,
I guess you're on your own.

Okay.

And do me a favor?

Take it easy on the
fucking f-bombs, okay?

Thank you.

It just rubbed me the wrong way,
you know?

I feel like she proposed,
and then she fucked up.

Are you guys both gonna wear,
like, dresses?

Why you got to say it like that?

I don't know. I'm grossed out.

Fuck.

You know what's scary?

I've never actually seen
what a good marriage looks like.

My dad left
the day my sister was born.

Well, my parents kicked
me out of the house

and sleep in separate beds,

-so that's one way to do it.
-[knock on door]

-Network's here.
-[Sophie groans]

-What?
-[Sophie] Well,

we went rogue.
Won't they be pissed?

They can't be. We crushed it.

Aren't agents already

e-mailing you trying to get
their clients on the show?

-Yeah.
-[Alice] Yeah.

See? They're probably here
to celebrate me. Come on.

You got this.

It's all you.

And this is all me.

If Porter stands any chance
of winning this,

she needs to give voters
a reason

to look past
the Felicity Adams scandal.

If she can do that remains to
be seen. Her favorability...

Dani.

Hi. Great to see you.

Excited to be here.

Yeah, look, so, I'm just
gonna throw you right in.

We got a meeting in Bette's
office in five minutes.

-Okay?
-Okay. If you'll just point me

to my office
so I can put my things down,

-I'll be right there.
-[chuckles]

Just take any open desk.
It is not that kind of party.

♪ slow, dramatic music ♪

Whoa, sorry.

-[phones ringing]
-[indistinct chatter]

No, that's okay.

[Bette]
It's incredible, right?

Judy Chicago loaned it to me.

I've always loved her.

[chuckles softly]

I'll never forget the first time
I saw The Dinner Party.

She's always had
such a clear mission.

You know, like she never
deviated from the goal.

-It's inspiring.
-[exhales]

-Don't you think?
-Yes.

Shall we?

[Barry]
Bottom line is,

and I hate to be
the bad guy here,

but you can't change
your interview guest

at the last minute.

You can't just interview
your friends, right?

Well, I thought
it went really well.

-Didn't you?
-[Barry] You got lucky.

When we bought your
podcast, we bought a brand.

A poppy, fun, palatable
lesbian brand.

We want to build off that.

I do, too.
I really do. I...

It's just I'm a very...
curious person,

and I think
my audience is, too.

And I just want to give them
a little credit. You know,

I think we have a real
opportunity to make an impact.

[Barry] And we will
always be completely open

to your ideas.

But we got to stay true

to our season one
audience, right?

But they might be interested
in something more substantial.

[Drew]
It's unlikely.

-[laughs]
-[Alice] I'm...

I... Is there...?

[Barry]
This is Drew Wilson.

-Oh.
-[Drew chuckles]

-Big fan.
-[Barry] Drew has written

for Seth, Sarah

and all the Jimmys.

We want you to
get to know him,

see where he might be useful.

Take some of the
pressure off you a bit.

Let him help
maintain the brand

that your audience has
come to love, okay?

I am so sorry to interrupt,

but, um...

Uh, hmm. Yeah, I don't,
I don't know what that means.

Oh. Ri-- uh, his school called.

-Whose school?
-Eli's. Your, uh,

-stepkid?
-Oh. Oh.

[Finley]
Yeah, he's sick

and, uh, Nat's in session
with clients

and Gigi's away, I guess?

So, um...

So...

-so, me, then?
-Uh...

-Looking like it, yeah.
-Okay.

Everything okay?

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, it's a, it's,
like, a sick kid.

[Drew]
Oh.

Family comes first.

Well, it...

They don't h-have to, if...

[Barry]
Well, it's not a problem.

-Uh, Drew will fill you in.
-Yeah.

Um, cool. Well,
I am gonna go to school.

[soft laughter]

Thanks. Thanks. Okay.

All right, look,
you got to call Shane,

-'cause I am not
doing this alone.
-Copy that.

-And he better be
really fucking sick.
-Copy that.

[Drew]
Uh, so, where were we?

I absolutely hear you.
We should not

have gone over your head.
That won't happen again.

But we're getting some really
interesting interview requests.

And we're excited about that,
but you can't take

big swings like that
without our approval.

Well, Lena Waithe
wants to come on.

-She's perfect.
-And fun.

Uh, maybe we could, uh,
play a game with her.

Uh, Alice and Lena could, uh,

play a drinking game.

-We could do it blindfolded.
-Yes, yes, yes.

-[laughing]
-[babbling]

Yes, and she and Alice could
have an honest conversation

about the importance
of queer representation in film.

-Well, sure, sure.
-Yeah, yeah.

Uh, Drew will fill in
the details.

-Mm-hmm.
-Great get, Sophie.

[Pierce]
I think we dodged a bullet.

If we bring up
the affair again,

it becomes
a self-inflicted wound.

I think it's best
if we focus on our town hall

-at the LGBT Center.
-I hear you.

I'm concerned if we don't take
control of the narrative,

it'll bite us in the ass.

And what do you propose we do?

Get an on-the-record statement
from Felicity Adams.

She and a mediator
are available

-to come in today.
-[Pierce] Wait a minute,

-you already reached out?
-Sorry, I thought I was

-taking point on this.
-Wait, why would she agree

-to come here?
-[Dani] Well, I offered

a neutral location, but Felicity
seemed fine to come in.

I can push back if you want,

but I do prefer
that we do it on our turf.

-No, it's-it's fine.
-[Pierce] Bette's already given

an account of what's happened.

[Dani]
Yeah, But Felicity hasn't.

We want to get ahead
of any potential discrepancies

in your stories.

We need to protect
this campaign.

[Pierce]
Okay.

Let's circle the wagons.

-Bring her in here.
-Okay.

And, uh,
take her up the back stairs.

I know how to be discreet.

But do you know
where the back stairs are?

No, I don't.
[chuckles]

I don't want Angie to be here
when she comes in.

Kacey is taking a group out
to canvass,

so she can go with them.

Great. Thank you.

[Dani]
And, looking ahead,

is there anything else
I need to know?

Meaning?

Is there anything else people
could use against you?

You are scheduled to be
at Glassell Park Elementary

for a photo op in 45 minutes.

-Please have the car waiting.
-You got it.

Um, okay.

Well, I spent a night in jail.

Uh, civil disobedience.
The charges were dropped.

Okay.

I cheated on my ex-wife.

Does she know
you were unfaithful?

[laughs softly]
Yes. She knows.

-Anything else?
-A friend of mine

died by suicide on my property.

She drowned in my pool.

-Her name?
-Jenny Schecter.

S-C-H-E-C-T-E-R.

-Good luck.
-Hey, thanks.

-Call me if you need me.
-[Drew] I will.

[laughs] Except you won't
hear from me at all.

Okay, I'll see you.

Nobody likes
the new guy, right?

-[laughs softly]
-But I am excited

to be here with you ladies.

I'm just here to be helpful.

Sure.
[chuckles]

I'm gonna go find my office.

Ah, I-I think
it's that way, boss.

Definitely not that way.

Yeah, that guy's
a real bag of dicks.

-Mm-hmm.
-[groans softly]

I don't want to talk to Dani.

I think I need a drink.

I'll hang with you.

Uh, that's okay.

-[chuckles]
-I'm-a call my sister.

-All right?
-Okay.

-You take care, buddy.
-All right, I'll just...

No worries. I'll hydrate.

All good here.

-[phone ringing]
-[Shane] Okay, okay, buddy.

Okay. All right. Come on, Alice.

-The door, get the door.
-Alice, focus.

-Yeah. What do you need?
-Can you get me a bucket?
Please.

-Like, a what? Like, a--
-A bucket, Alice.

A bucket. What's a bucket?
Are you okay?

-Okay, yeah, yeah.
-[Eli] It hurts! Alice!

[Shane] Come on, Al, hurry up.
Please, this is not a drill.

He's gonna fucking blow
any second.

-[Eli] I'm gonna puke.
-Oh, a Crock-Pot?

-Would a Crock-Pot do it?
-Yes, a Crock-Pot!

I don't care. Just get me
something. Jesus Christ.

-Not my jacket.
-Oh, God.

Not my jacket, not my jacket.

[Eli groaning]

-Oh, God.
-Oh, my God!

Okay. Oh, God.

-Okay...
-Mm-hmm.

Oh, God, that smells so bad.

I want Mama.

Oh, yeah, no, I want her, too.

I know, I know, I know.
Can you get me a rag?

Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
Okay.

For the fucking kid,
not for you.

Oh, yeah.

You okay? It's gonna be
all right, all right?

It's gonna be all right,
all right?

Mommy's gonna come home tonight.

Yeah. Your mommy's
gonna come home tonight.

Did you get it all out?

-Did you get it all out?
-What are you doing?

-I-I, I d-don't know.
-You want to go lay down?

Yeah? All right.

You show me your favorite spot
on the couch, all right?

-[Alice] Okay.
-Here, just...

Yeah, mm-hmm. Okay.

[Shane]
All right. Uh...

-Is-- who is that?
-Hmm? Oh, he loves it.

-He loves it.
-Yeah? Okay.

All right.

There you go. How's that?

-Oh, yeah. That's good.
-Is that good?

All right.

All right.

[sighs heavily]

-[exhales]
-You okay?

[whispering]
How are you doing this?

-It's crazy.
-I mean...

kids are people.

But they're not. They're, like,
they're, like, half-sized.

They're, like, half-people.

[chuckles] Well,
I'm glad you called me, Al.

You should have had kids
with Quiara.

You're really good
at it.

[grunts softly]

I'm surprised
she didn't convince you.

She didn't.

You miss her
that bad, huh?

Oh, I'm okay.

[Bette]
Alice, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, that's never fun.

Yeah, but the Crock-Pot,

that was a,
that was a creative solution.

Yeah, you know I would come,

I just, I'm-I'm still here
at the office.

I'm waiting to see
how this goes.

-Yes. She's here.
-[door opens]

-Thanks for coming in.
-Don't be silly. I'll be fine.

Let me know
if you need anything else.

Well, uh, I'll buy.

Okay, you'll buy.

then just not pay for anything.

We could also just bail
and get coffee.

You can get me coffee
tomorrow morning.

Oh.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, it's, uh,
venison and foie grass.

[quietly]
Expensive.

-[bartender] Sure thing.
-Thank you.

[chuckles]

Hi. I'm, um...

and way out of my league.

I'm gonna go scout

Oh. Okay.

Mmm. Disgusting.

-Thank you.
-That'll be, uh, $18.

Mama's buying.

[hip-hop music playing]

Kids.

-[laughs]
-[Finley] Hey.

How are you? Uh, Finley.

-Can I, um, get you a drink?
-I already have a drink.

-[Shane] Oh, boy. Here you go.
-Copy that.

-Keep it open?
-[Shane] Yeah, sure.

[Finley]
I'm-I'm Finley. Do you, uh,

-want to have a drink with me?
-Hey, Shane.

-[Finley] Copy that.
-[Shane] Hey, how you doing?

[Tatiana]
I'm good. It's been a while.

[Shane]
It has. Yeah.

[Tatiana]
I was wondering...

[whispers indistinctly]

[clicks tongue]

Not tonight.

Hello. How's it going over here?

You guys need
another one of these, right?

Amstel Light?

Yes, that's right,
and some more of those.

I'll be right back.
How's it going over here?

-You guys need another one
of these, don't you?
-Hey. Uh...

-No.
-Great.

[Tess] Another round here?
Yeah, yeah, yeah?

Yeah, yeah? How about you?
How's your night going?

Over here playing
hard to get, huh?

No, no, no.

No, but really, I'm glad
you're here. I'm Tess.

[Shane]
Shane.

[Tess]
Girl, I know who you are.

Everyone in the city
knows who you are.

-You're, like, a living legend.
-No, no, no. No, I'm not.

How adorable is that?

You don't like that reputation.

Oh, come on, girls must love
that wall that you've built.

-Thanks, babe.
-Table 14.

[Tess]
But seriously,

I'm stoked that you're here.

I wish the whole bar was
filled with girls like us.

Party time, boys. Whoo!

-Can I get you something else?
-Who is that woman?

That's Tess. My girlfriend.

She's, uh,
she's good with people.

Not always with me.

[man]
Hey, can I get a beer?

Sorry.

Poor thing,
he's exhausted.

Well, I'm sure;
he puked everywhere.

Oh, that's why the Crock-Pot's
out on the curb.

Oh, yeah, that ship has sailed.

Thank you again
for taking care of him.

I know it must have
been hard.

Well, yeah.

I mean, I-I left a really
big meeting today.

Well, I'm so sorry.
It's not gonna happen tomorrow.

I called Gigi, and she'll
be here in the morning.

Oh. Okay.

What are you feeling?

I'm feeling like
a babysitter.

Okay, that's not a feeling.

Oh, no, trust me, it is.

-[phone clicks off]
-[scoffs]

Alice.

-Alice...
-Mm-mm.

Come on, talk to me.

Mm-mm.

Alice.

Okay, okay, you can't
have it both ways.

You can't ask me to be
more a part of their lives,

and then call in Gigi
when you feel like

I can't handle something.

You're right.
Those are confusing messages.

Can you please tell me
what you're thinking?

'Cause you really sound
like a therapist right now.

I'm sorry, okay?

I don't want you to feel
like a babysitter.

-Well, thank you.
-Okay, but I also

need you to be clear with me
about what you want.

I want you to want me

to help.

I hear you.

And I hear you.

Alice, do you want to
watch Eli tomorrow?

No, but thank you
for asking.

[laughs]
Okay.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry.

Okay.

-I love you. Okay.
-Love you, too.

Can I tell you about
my shitty day?

-Yes. Tell me everything.
-Okay.

So, um, his name is Drew.

-I hate him already.
-Mm-hmm.

[loud chatter]

Hi. Uh...

I'm Finley.

I just watched you walk up
and introduce yourself

to, like, five other women
in this bar.

Oh, I'm very friendly.

-Is that what it is?
-Yeah. [chuckles]

So... you want to
have a drink with me?

-I'm already having a drink.
-Please?

[both laugh]

All right, why not?

You, uh, have a tab open?

Is that--
is that how it works?

Well, I'm a P.A., so...

I mean, what do you do?
You got a job?

You know what,
I'll-I'll buy.

-Okay.
-Here.

-But you have to go do it.
-Deal.

Don't steal my money.

I can't believe I just
handed a stranger my wallet.

What am I doing?

[hip-hop music playing]

-♪♪♪
-[dialogue inaudible]

I need to get another
fucking drink.

Bro, you're good.

Hey, do you have any more,
uh, whiskey back there?

Ten's enough, buddy.
You're cut off.

-Come back tomorrow,
all right? Go home.
-Come on.

Come on, bud.
No, no, no.

-Don't be a buzzkill.
-Come on, dude.

-Give me some whiskey!
-Whoa!

-Stop, stop, stop.
-Let go. Oh, my God!

[grunts]

-[people gasping]
-[man] What the...?

Come on. Let's go.

-Let's go!
-Fuck you, man!

I thought this was
fuckin' America!

-Are you okay?
-Yeah.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

-Babe, you good?
-Yeah, I'm g-- Yeah.

-I'm so sorry about that--
-No, no, don't apologize.

-It's not-- it's no one's fault.
-You sure you're good?

-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.

[man] Yeah, there we go!
What's up?

Whew!

-Oh, my God, that was amazing.
-No, it's fine.

Thank you.
Let me get you another drink.

Um, hey, can we get a...
a bourbon.

It's on me.

-Oh, God.
-I'm s... I'm so sorry

that this place is
so fucking douchey.

Yeah, I hadn't noticed.

I'm sorry.

[laughs]

[groans softly]

This used to be a gay
bar, though, right?

Yeah.

-Years ago.
-Wow.

Damn, times have changed.

Yeah, Tess is always trying to,
um, buy out the owners,

turn it back
to what it used to be.

-She should.
-[laughs] Yeah.

Yeah, what we could do is
just rip the fucking TVs out,

switch the menu up
and clean the place up.

You know, it would be
the only lesbian bar

in the city?
Only one.

Well, then someone should just
buy it and you guys run it.

[chuckles]
Yeah. Yeah, they should.

No, I'm serious.

[man]
Hey, another round, please?

-I'll be back.
-[man whooping]

I feel pretty honored
you used your gift card on me.

[chuckles] You definitely
proved yourself worthy.

That single espresso
at the end--

never seen
anything like it.

-$78.50.
-And a 21% tip.

Very impressive.

I probably should tell you,
that was not my first gift card.

[laughs]

How long ago did
you transition?

About five years.

Were you always with guys?

No. But...

I don't really talk
about before.

Oh, of course.

[sighs]

I'm sorry I asked.

I want to tell you everything

about my whole life, I do.

It's just I-I haven't met
a lot of people

who don't squint and...

try to imagine
what I used to look like.

So I just don't talk about it.

But now I'm kind of afraid
to look at you.

You can look.

I'm not squinting.

Jordi.

I didn't know you were coming.

Hi, Ms. Porter.

Um... I just wanted to apologize
for the other day.

You know, uh, my family has
a different set of values,

so I didn't really realize

it was gonna be
such a big issue

for Angie to skip
school, but...

it won't happen again.

And I just want you to know

that you have
a really wonderful daughter,

and I love spending time
with her.

Well, thank you, Jordi.

I appreciate that.

And the next time you
want to spend time

with my wonderful daughter,

I'm gonna ask you
to ditch the pot, okay?

And do it
outside school hours.

Absolutely.

Okay.

[giggling]

[Bette] Our community is
disproportionately affected

by homelessness
in this city,

and in every city
across the country.

And you have
to ask yourself: why?

Why is that?

Well, our parents,
our parents kick us out.

Religious leaders

shame us.

And our so-called "friends"
abandon us.

So nearly half of all
homeless youth are one of us.

I want to help.

what you're thinking about.

Anyone?

Yes?

Um...

first off...

thank you.

I never saw nobody
that looks like you

call herself one of us before.

And...

n-not even
my own mother

thinks I'm part of her.

So...

I don't know.

Politicians are full of shit.

Excuse my French.

No, they're
completely full of shit.

It'd be... really great

if you weren't...

because it'd

I'm really sorry
about your mother.

Okay? That's her loss.

Really.

And...

I'm not gonna pretend that
our circumstances are identical,

but there are a lot
of similarities.

My father
never accepted me.

Ever.

he called my partner, the woman

Fucking kid made me sick.

Eli hasn't been sick
like that since he was a baby.

One time, he got so sick
he just stopped eating.

It was so
fucking scary.

He was dehydrated,

and we had to bring him
to the hospital,

and they stuck an IV
in his little foot.

Oh, that sounds awful.

Nat never told you
this story?

-Mm-mm.
-That was

actually the beginning

Nat realized he was
calling for Mona,

she was just a friend of ours,

We were.

-And then the baby
threw you under the bus?

Well, I am surprised
you could ever forgive him.

I dug up something

by one of Sophie's
favorite poets, Alix Olson.

-[mouths] I love you.
-"Living, we have learned,

can be both sloppy
and precise.

And so, you choose
your careful witness

to your silly little life.

You begin to trace
each other's journeys,

you begin to chart
each other's pace.

You start to notice
all the sweetness

and the details of their ways.

Because loving seeks
a language of solace.

It speaks volumes
about tomorrow

when you are fluent
in forgiveness.

Sometimes familiar
becomes magic.

Sometimes magic needs distance.

Sometimes space
is what shapes it.

And the shape is not instant.

Sometimes the horizon's
surprising.

And the view is worth risking.

And the risk is a long wait,

but this girl is persistent.

Sometimes a future just means

that each day is worth finding.

And this day is a presence,

and this moment is shining.

[moaning]

Sometimes her prayers
are just... soothing.

Sometimes her face
is just lovely.

Years,
years spent searching.

Sometimes people get lucky."
