[Macie] We're going to see Steven tonight

At Stratus tonight, okay?

We're going to see Steven tonight

At Stratus tonight, okay?

We're going to see Steven tonight

At Stratus tonight, okay--?

[Abby] Enough, Macie!

[Megan] My sister ah... my sister Abby

Is taking my sister for the day

So that's a little different

I'm not used to that.

[Woman] Oh yeah you watch her a lot?

- Yeah, I have her all time. All the time.

[Woman] All the time?

- Mmmhmmm

- [Abby] Macie!

Macie!

- [Macie] Yeah?

- Seriously? I'm in there two minutes.

You can't just sit in the car like I asked you?

- But there was a cat, Abby.

- There was a cat? Come on.

- Yeah there was a cat.

It didn't have a collar or nothing.

- You just don't want me to have any input

Or... or, or any authority with her.

- Oh tragic.

- We have to go back, I think it was homeless.

- Listen Macie, there's a lot of homeless cats, okay?

It's a fact of life.

- Yeah but this one was gray.

- What? Pump your gas.

- You have her one day a week.

One day a week, Abby.

One day you have to worry about.

- It was a gray one.

- It was a gray one?

- And it had a little orange spot.

- An orange spot, huh?

- Right on it's head.

- Here, take the bag, get in the car.

- I glad your getting your life together lately

And trying to be active in her's

But she needs the routine.

- What?

- What?

- What? Dude, she likes cats. You don't like cats?

- [Megan] Abby?

Abby?

Don't tell me you've been drinking.

I swear to god if you're drinking right now...

- How can you say that?

I've been clean for three goddamn years.

- I have to ask.

- No you don't have to ask. You don't have to ask.

Not after three years.

- This-this-this doesn't look right.

- Macie come on, I'm trying here.

Look it's really really good.

- It's not how Megan makes it.

(crickets)

(Spanish guitar)

(Somber Spanish Lyrics)

- Some things are just...

Hard to know where to start you know?

- What's going on?

- We got word that your dad...

Your dad passed away today.

I'm sorry I don't like just blurting things out

Like that, I just didn't want you to hear it

In the hallways from the kids.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

- You're dad passed away.

- No...

(Crying)

- [Woman voice] You try to start somewhere blank,

somewhere clear, somewhere clean.

You try to start somewhere empty.

You leave your mark and trace it.

You feel the ink seep into your fibers.

You try to see where it's going, what it leads to

and keep returning to where it came from.

You see your past and your present,

your future all transpiring now.

You think of Hamilton, and Sylvia, and Evangelion.

You imagine death so much it feels more like a memory.

You reach out to every branch of your fig tree.

You feel sick.

You feel disgusting.

You feel separated by translation.

You recognize yourself better

in the faces of those who only see a piece of you.

- [Man] Are you gonna want a hit of this?

- Fogs the windows.

- [Man] You look like you could use a little fog.

- "I saw my life branching out before me" (mumbling)

- [Man] Listen, I'm planning to burn,

and then hate watch Iron Fist.

(Multiple voices whispering Sylvia Plathe's Bell Jar)

I'm not kicking you out, but.

- [Woman] "And another fig was Europe, and Africa,"

"and South America" (muttering).

- [Man] I'm not married to Iron Fist.

And I just feel I should get through it

if I'm gonna watch all the shows in sequence.

- "And I saw myself sitting in the crotch"

"of this fig tree, starving to death"

"just because I couldn't make up my mind which of these"

"figs I wanted to choose,"

"I wanted each and every one of them,"

"but choosing one meant loosing all the rest"

"and as I sat unable to decide the figs began to wrinkle"

"and go black, one by one they plopped"

"to the ground at my feet."

I'm gonna go.

- Cool.

(footsteps thudding)

- [Woman] You say buh 100 times.

You say buh exactly 100 times.

You are a strong centered woman.

You don't take shit.

You can take a beating and keep on keeping on.

You don't need money.

You don't need men.

You need a tight purple leather jacket

with a western black rhinoceros on the back.

You need slicked back hair.

You stand before the storm.

- Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh.

Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh.

- [Woman voice] You see lightning.

- Buh, buh, buh, buh.

- [Woman voice] You see a street lamp.

You see your mother's taco cat air freshener.

Meow.

You see your steering wheel.

You see your knuckles.

You touch the steering wheel.

You touch your keys.

You touch Ryan's plastic gumball ring.

(breathing heavily)

You touch your lip.

You hear his voice. - Sanya.

- [Woman] You hear his voice.

- [Ryan's voice] Sweetheart.

- [Woman voice] You hear his voice.

- [Ryan's voice] It's time to wake up.

- [Woman voice] You smell his scent on his breath.

(heavy breathing)

You smell the taco cat air freshener.

- Meow.

- [Woman voice] You feel.

(blind whirring)

- [Ryan] Sanya?

Sanya, it's time to wake up.

- No, I'm sleeping.

- [Ryan] Sanya.

- Sanya's not here.

(Ryan scoffs)

- [Ryan] Come on sweetie, it's time to get up.

I brought coffee.

- "Coffee is for closers."

- [Ryan] Come on, we promised each other up by seven.

- Well, I lied.

I lied to you and I lied to myself.

I'm a liar.

- [Ryan] Listen, if I'm up, you have to be up.

- No.

You should... you should come back to bed.

- [Ryan] (chuckling) Okay, come on, that's not fair.

That's not fair, Sanya. Come on.

- Ryan, my feet are cold.

- [Ryan] Oh, your feet are cold.

- Mm-hmm.

I need you to keep 'em warm.

- Sanya, come on, if I get back into this bed

our whole day goes right out the window.

- Ryan,

my feet.

- Sanya,

your socks.

- You're a terrible boyfriend.

- (scoffs) Now I'm a terrible boyfriend.

- Absolutely terrible.

- [Ryan] Oh, I'm a terrible boyfriend.

I'm a terrible boyfriend.

Alright, I'm a terrible boyfriend.

- Well, what are you doing, they're cold.

- [Ryan] I'm gonna warm them, hold on.

(Ryan's hands smack and rub together)

(Ryan exhales loudly)

- Hmm. - Mm?

(Ryan exhales loudly) - Okay that feels weird.

That feels weird.

- [Ryan] It's working though, right?

(Ryan exhales loudly) - Ryan, please get back

into bed, why are you fighting this?

- [Ryan] Sanya.

- Ryan,

please.

- [Ryan] Okay, okay.

- Just for five minutes.

I just need, I just need five minutes.

- All right, come here.

- Five minutes.

- Night, night.

Just five minutes.

- No, no night-night, five minutes.

(footsteps thudding)

(hairbrush rustling)

(people chattering) (footsteps thudding)

- [Woman] Ah, Marie-Antoinette has deigned us

with her presence.

(voice drowned out by exclamations).

- Getting a hug!

- Oh?

Hi.

- Sit, sit sweetheart.

- You know I'm not really hungry.

- [Man] She'll take a mimosa though.

- Keys, keys.

- I'll be fine driving mom, it's one mimosa.

- Ha, not the way Cheryl makes them.

- I need your car today.

- To look for jobs yes? - [Sanya] Yes.

- Here. Try this.

(Sounds of light rain)

- Oh my God, that's really strong.

- [Man] I told you.

- [Woman] Come here, let me add some more juice.

- No more juice.

- Oh, just a splash.

- [Woman] We'll carpool together today

- [Old Woman] I can't, I have to pick Reggie today.

- [Woman] Oh, that's right.

What's this about getting a job?

What happened to doing the princess for the kiddies?

- [Nadine] Pristine Princess Parties.

- No no, it was called Pretty With the Princesses.

- Pristine Princess Party, Mom, they just said it.

- [Josey] Well what happened to it?

- She lost it.

- [Everyone] She didn't lose it!

- I didn't lose it!

- Mom you know I didn't lose it.

- Some lady complained because she didn't have the rights

from Disney.

- But what happened to the princesses?

- [Woman] The company folded them.

- We know who it was too.

- We don't know for sure, Mom.

- It was that bitch.

- Here, start with the bacon and egg.

- [Woman] It doesn't matter who it was,

- [Mom] Of course it matters!

I raised you better than that.

Stop being confrontational just for the sake of it.

What, someone wrongs you and you don't do something

about it? You might as well bend over

intentionally for round two.

- Right up the ass. - Josey!

- [Nadine] "Right up the ass!"

- Right up the ass.

No you can't call her a that Mom,

she's a human being.

- It was that Samantha Needleman.

She's just jealous because her daughter is a troll,

and our Sanya is the spit and image of Elsa from Frozen.

- [Nadine] Maybe if she puts little effort into it.

- And now, the first round of French toast.

- We don't eat toast.

- [Mom] God this whole family with keto.

- 72 pounds Mom!

(women screaming)

72 pounds.

- Well I am not going on keto.

- [Nadine] 72 pounds.

- [Sanya] How can you even lose 72 pounds?

- [Mira] Well maybe five to ten.

- You're perfect.

- [Woman] Not that I'm one to talk.

I just mean to find a man.

- No one is going keto in this house.

- [Mira] Well are we allowed to bring up the boy?

- [Man] Come on Mira,

asking if you can bring up the boy is bringing up the boy.

- And that's game.

- No,

sit.

We eat carbs in this house.

I cook with carbs.

Carbs are my happy place,

that's how I express love.

Okay?

Eat the French toast.

(people laughing)

- Keys please.

- We both need our cars today.

- I'll drive her to her interviews.

- [Mom] Your sister can drive you.

- I'll do my errands in between.

- [Nadine] You're coming to my party either way right?

- Looks like my day has written itself.

(Thunder rumbles, everyone laughs)

- Oh come on Ryan, no man left behind

Choppers up! - Choppers up!

Move move move, that pizza's getting cold.

- Just remember, we need to stop at the liquor store.

- Yes, yes, yes I know.

Liquor store, house, pizza while putting away groceries

and don't open that box.

- I'm not gonna open the box.

- Alright because we'll be home in less than ten minutes.

- I know, I'm not opening it.

- I saw you opening out there.

- Okay, I'm not opening it.

- You're gonna let all the heat out, it's gonna be cold!

- I know, I'm not opening it!

- Ryan, I am witnessing you opening it, with my own eyes.

- Well maybe you should be taking your own eyes

and watching the road.

- Then stop opening it.

- Okay, what about this?

I'll feed you a slice while you drive.

- You take out a slice out of that pizza,

I will headbutt your spinal cord so hard

I'll paralyze you for life.

- Okay that's ridiculous, your head isn't strong enough

to do that.

- Get away from the pizza. - Ow!

- Get away. - Okay, that's not even

headbutting. That's not even,

that's like aggressive nuzzling-

You are driving! You are driving!

- I will run us off road for that pizza.

Don't you think I won't.

You just wait to wait until we get home,

I'm gonna nuzzle your face so hard.

- Right face.

- I'm gonna nuzzle your face so hard

while you wash all our dirty dishes.

- Yeah, I'm going to dry 'em too.

- Yeah, you are, and you know what?

You're gonna vacuum the floor,

cause we got guests coming tomorrow.

- IMA vacuum that floor.

- You're gonna vacuum that floor while doing lunges.

- That floor girl, that floor's gonna have no crumbs.

No crumbs.

I'm gonna be so limber.

- Good you're going to need to be limber for what's next.

- Uh! You know it.

- Cause next you're gonna stretch up really high,

and clean all our ceiling lamps.

- Yeah, you mean where all the dead bugs collect?

- Mm-hmm. Where all the dead bugs collect.

- That's up really high, I don't think I'm tall enough.

- Yeah, you're probably have to stand on a chair.

- Are you gonna brace that chair?

- Ohhhh...

I don't know.

- You know, cause that's really a two person kinda job.

- Well I guess that depends on whether you've been...

naughty

or not.

- Oh I have been.

I have been so naughty.

Or ah... or ah... very not, not, naughty...

whatever has you bracing that chair

cause you know I don't-

honestly I really don't wanna fall.

- Such a compelling argument Ryan.

(umbrella rustling)

(car door slamming)

- [Nadine] How'd it go in there?

Kinda thought that might happen.

You got one more on you?

I was just texting Freddie

and there's an open warehouse position at his job

- Okay I cannot take anymore rejection today, Nadine.

- [Nadine] I get it.

- Okay, just way too much negativity

and I feel like I'm gonna shake apart into a

million pieces over all this.

- [Nadine] Stop being overdramatic.

- This isn't fair Nadine!

- [Nadine] What isn't fair? - I shouldn't have to look

for a fucking job.

- [Nadine] I need you to calm down. I'm sitting right-

- Mom was right. Mom was right.

It was that fucking bitch.

That fucking whore cunt.

Samantha who fucking told on me like the

miserable

fucking-

- [Nadine] Oh my god! Stop hitting my car!

- I was five minutes late, Nadine. Okay five minutes.

Five fucking minutes

I swear to Christ, now I know I'm late sometimes

I know that about myself

but it was five fucking minutes.

You know how well I sing "Let it Go."

You know it. You know I fucking kill it.

And those kids love me

and I'm the one who gets a Cease and Desist,

it is fucking bullshit!

- It fucking sucks but cool it!

- I am allowed to be angry.

- Yeah you're right.

Absolutely you are.

You're allowed to be angry.

But you're not allowed to throw a temper tantrum

like a five-year-old who didn't get her way.

And you're not allowed to hit my godamn car.

- I'm sorry I hit your fucking car.

Alright?

- I need you to calm down

cause I need you to go to this frickin' job interview

that Freddie set up for you.

- With all due respect, it was very nice of Freddie.

- It was very nice of Freddie.

- It was. It was very nice of Freddie-

- It was very nice of Freddie.

- To pull some strings and get me the interview.

- You're going.

You're going.

- But I am not going to this fucking job interview.

(pages ruffling)

- [Archie] My uncle wants me to have more

interview experience so

I hope you'll bear with me as I conduct my first interview.

- [Mr. Enderman] Thank you.

- Definitely.

Definitely.

- Well I'm Archie, Mr. Endermam

and you are

Saniay Bu...

I'm not gonna be able to pronounce that.

- Suh-nee-a Bel-u-sov.

- Bel-u-

- Bel-u-sov.

- Beluzov.

Is that Russian?

- Mm-hmm.

- You don't look Russian.

- Russian, Irish, Corsican, Romanian, Czechoslovakian

and Mongolian.

- Wow, regular mutt.

Purebred American here, but

that's cool, that's cool.

So it says you

went to Princeton.

For mathematics.

So are you a genius?

- Only on paper.

- So,

skills,

board games?

You make board games? - Mm-hmm.

- Wow, so tell me about your games.

- Okay. Good Archie.

Now this is warehouse work.

Have you ever done warehouse work before?

- Some. Some.

- Well I see you don't have any gaps in your resume,

until recently,

Archie pay attention!

You don't have any gaps,

but you also haven't lasted in any of them more than a year.

Is that right? I mean except for Pristine Princess Parties,

- Well that was actually my business.

- Dressed up as a princess.

- Is there an actual question you'd like answered

or do you just enjoy mocking me while you narrate my resume

because you can easily use it to train your nephew

without wasting my time or taking my face away

so thank you and have a nice day.

(footsteps clicking)

Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh.

- [Woman voice] You say buh.

You say it 100 times.

You say it exactly

100 times.

You need a tight purple leather jacket

with a western black rhinoceros on the back.

You stand before the storm.

You stare into its darkness and you see

nothing.

(sobbing)

You see the floor.

You see your knees.

You see your hands.

(heavy breathing)

You see the sink.

You see a soap dispenser.

You touch the tears on your face.

You touch your keys in your purse.

You touch Ryan's plastic gumball ring.

You touch your lip.

You hear his voice. - Sanya.

- [Woman Voice] Your hear his-

(door banging)

- Someone's in here.

(door banging)

I'll be right out.

(door banging)

- Can you lift over 15 pounds?

- Yes.

- And can you repeat the same task all day,

for hours on end?

- Yes.

- Alright, then you're hired.

- Well... Thank you.

- Assuming your pay and other details,

are to your satisfaction

they are nonnegotiable.

You can start on Monday. Not this Monday mind you.

(speaks unintelligibly)

- Well thank you Mr.

Enderman.

Nadie, Nadie, Nadie, I got the job!

I got it, yes I got it!

Yes, I'll be out, I'll be out in just a minute.

Well, I don't have money for a new dress.

(chill music)

- [Woman Voice] Next time,

on Price of Faerie Tales.

- I know

this isn't where you want to be right now,

But, I'm really glad to have this time with you.

(controllers clicking)

- You are out son.

- Sanya, you in?

- Yeah, yeah I'm not playing fucking Toad
