[officer] Yeah, it’s all clear. Our squad detonated it.

[officer] Yeah, it’s all clear. Our squad detonated it.

-We were very careful. -It’s a waste of time.

-Come on, sir, should we go? -Yeah, let’s go.

[sighs]

[Santos] Apparently, there was no bomb.

This ass hat just wasted everybody’s time.

I knew it was nothing.

-Yeah, you were very brave. -[bangs on door]

-Yeah, you were very brave. -[bangs on door]

[Santos] Marcus, get out here!

We know you made the whole thing up.

You’re full of shit.

Hey, maybe don’t go so hard on him.

What?

What?

It’s just White Marcus and I sort of

came to an understanding through this moving story

I told him.

Officer, take it.

Officer, take it.

I don’t--I don’t think we really need to...

Stand back!

-Have empathy! -Oh, my--

Freeze! Don’t move, White Marcus.

Freeze! Don’t move, White Marcus.

He’s sleeping. Wake him up.

He’s sleeping. Wake him up.

Oh, I do remember you now.

Oh, I do remember you now.

Yeah, your class was boring as fuck.

My class was not boring.

You were just asleep all the time.

Did it ever occur to you the reason

I slept in your science class was ’cause I was

I slept in your science class was ’cause I was

ahead of your shit.

Your dumbass class is remedial.

I go at a pace that works for everyone.

I go at a pace that works for everyone.

[under breath] Bitch.

Oh, my God. You are such a fuck.

You were a fuck all two years

-I taught you. -Dan--

-I taught you. -Dan--

And I knew you didn’t have a bomb.

-Okay, stop. -You know what? I would love

-to see you try to make a bomb. -Dan, come on.

-[Dan] Just to watch you fail. -[Jess] Dan, stop.

-[Dan] Just to watch you fail. -[Jess] Dan, stop.

I dare you to blow up the school. You know what?

I don’t even know why Dami dated you,

but I can see why she dumped you.

-You fucking loser. -[Jess] Okay, all right, Dan,

-You fucking loser. -[Jess] Okay, all right, Dan,

how about you just come over here.

-Take him away, officer. -Come on.

He is my least favorite Marcus of all the Marcuses.

He is my least favorite Marcus of all the Marcuses.

Just take a deep breath.

Bro, I bet nothing is even

about to happen to White Marcus.

about to happen to White Marcus.

Like most cops probably just going to take his ass

to Burger King or some shit.

[laughs]

Yeah.

Yeah.

Bro, I’m sorry. I thought you knew.

Like, my dad was there

in the church when your mom was going through it, bro.

in the church when your mom was going through it, bro.

It’s whatever.

I-I legit thought you knew.

I-I legit thought you knew.

I don’t...

[indistinct chatter]

[Jess] Thanks for not leaving me alone today.

It was all my fault. I expelled White Marcus.

It was all my fault. I expelled White Marcus.

It’s not your fault. Always blame the parents.

I would have kept giving him chances,

I would have kept giving him chances,

but, like, Principal Douglas was breathing down my neck

about White Marcus and all this bullshit about procedure,

and I--I should’ve listened to my gut.

and I--I should’ve listened to my gut.

The kid is a fucking idiot. He deserved to be expelled.

You’re just saying that ’cause he was mean to you.

You’re just saying that ’cause he was mean to you.

Yeah, fine.

Imagine if he did have a bomb, if I had helped...

Imagine if he did have a bomb, if I had helped...

Jess, it’s not your fault. It’s mine.

Jess, it’s not your fault. It’s mine.

I’m the one who left the back door propped open this morning,

which is how White Marcus snuck back in.

which is how White Marcus snuck back in.

Dan, the kid didn’t sneak through a crack door.

He walked through the entrance. He’s white.

[laughs] Oh, man.

For real?

Oh, fuck. That’s great.

Oh, fuck. That’s great.

Oh, that’s really good news.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I was feeling guilty for a second, Jess.

[laughs] What a beautiful day.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[laughs] That was close.

I swear to God, I almost felt bad.

Whew, thank Christ.

Whew, thank Christ.

It’s not your fault either, by the way.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks again, Dan.

W-would you wanna maybe get dinner later?

Was that your answer, the spitting?

Uh, no.

Uh, no.

No, it’s a "no," or...?

No, no. I’d get dinner.

Oh, okay. Cool.

Okay. Cool.
