Do we really have to

physically sit for our portraits?

Can't she just, like, look at a picture

on her phone or something?

- Okay, get out. - What? Why?

She needs to see you in the flesh

in order to capture your essence.

While you're still young and full of hope.

Her words.

Well, Conrad does not have hope, actually.

He's hopeless, but my hangover smoothie... it cures all.

Can you please just hurry up?

Just go back to bed, all right?

- All right, seriously, Steven, get out. - Oh, come on.

This is a delicate science,

and your heavy breathing is gonna break the yolk.

Okay. Okay, okay.

She hasn't painted you since you were little.

I think it'd be nice to have these portraits

- for when you're older. - Old. No.

When I'm older, I'm sure there'll be, like,

like, holograms or something I can watch of myself, you know?

Just sit for your portraits.

I don't see Conrad complaining.

He'll complain when he's conscious.

Hey. Here.

- Thank you. - Come on, man. Hurry your ass up.

All right? I can't be late for my first day of work.

- We won't. We're good. - Come on, man.

- Ooh! - Those old country club boomers

are gonna tip me so hard, man, they won't know what hit 'em.

- Oh! - Steven, I swear.

- What? - Come on, Laurel.

My boy's got to get that bread.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Belly, where have you been?

Is that a bruise?

Um, I-I bumped into someone.

You bumped into someone?

Doesn't look that bad.

Um, cereal?

- Yeah, hit me. - Sure.

Oh, my God!

Belly is gonna be a debutante.-

It's really not that big of a deal.

I'm sorry. Like, Belly?

Like, my sister? Like, that thing right there?

Shut up, cretin.

Okay, this is gonna be so much fun.

Just you wait. There is, uh... there's the tea,

the auction, the ball, of course, the rehearsal.

I got to write this down.

We need to go shopping.

This sounds... expensive.

Oh, don't worry, Laur. It's on me.

It was my idea after all, and we still need

to style you for your book party, so...

Belly, are you sure you want to do this?

It doesn't seem very you.

It's not.

Conrad, could you please be a little more supportive?

Now, which one of you is gonna be Belly's escort to the ball?

Not me. I went last year.

Yeah, and I swore off balls.

The dances, dude.

Wow, guys.

Stop fighting over me.

Um, I'm not going with either of you.

I am going to find my own date.

Wikipedia says debutante balls require instruction

in morals and social etiquette.

I'm going for a swim.

She could use some etiquette. Yeah.

No offense, Beck, but I don't feel like

a country club is the best place to teach Belly about morals.

Laur, times have changed.

There's a girl debbing this season,

and she's bringing her girlfriend as her escort,

and the club was fine with it.

How very progressive of them.

Here you are, Belly Button.

Well, hurry up! We have shopping to do.

It's not like I was getting any work done anyway.

Yeah, uh, it's-it's something.

Oh, you look like a princess.

- She looks like the Tooth Fairy. - Ah.

Look... at that detail.

Everybody's eyes will fall out of their heads

when they see our girl.

I love you so much, but you're ridiculous.

I love you so much, and I know I'm ridiculous.

Or what about this one?

Oh, no, no, no, that one's much too simple.

But it does seem more like Belly.

Laur, trust me, these girls go all out.

Oh, don't get my hair wet!

Hey!

Hey, Jeremiah.

Hey, Gigi.

I didn't know you were working here this summer.

Hey.

Billy, no choking, all right?

Jeremiah,

aren't you gonna save me?

Here you go.

- Thank you very much. Enjoy that. - Thanks.

- Don't forget to tip your waitress. - Oh.

- Hey, you're on break, kid. - Oh.

Uh, thank you.

Totally, yeah. I would, uh...

I would love to, uh, take you surfing sometime.

Dude.

- Oh, you fucked up. - What? What? How...

How could I have already fucked up?

Nobody's gonna want to hook up with you

after they see you in this.

You should've been a lifeguard with me.

- Oh. - And hardly anyone drowns.

God. Okay, well, I'll take the hairnet

if it means I don't have to live with my mom freshman year.

- Yeah. - All right.

- Fair enough. Fair enough. - See?

Take it in, Steven.

Honey?

Hey, hon?

Yeah?

Would you change and meet me out back?

I want to paint your portrait first.

Why me?

'Cause everyone else has things to do.

I have things to do, too, Mom.

I think you can spare a few hours for your mother, hmm?

- Sure. - Great.

I'll see you outside in ten?

See you there.

Put on something nice.

You see her?

- Hooked up with her. - Mm-hmm.

Him, lifeguard.

And, uh, the one in the blue

and the guy with the eyebrows.

Yeah.

Dude, you're such a slut, man.

Okay, I just like to kiss and be cozy with people.

Oh, yeah?

Never kissed her, though.

Yeah, keep it that way.

Okay, all right, Shayla's cute and all,

but I'd avoid getting sucked in.

- Sucked? Sucked into what? - To all that.

Girls in sundresses are my kryptonite,

but I've never let one talk me into being an escort.

Trust me, if Shayla asks you and you say "yes,"

it's gonna blow up your whole summer.

Yo, Steven, we need extra hands at the deb tea.

Pays double. Come on.

- Yeah. - Okay, yeah. All right, go get that bread.

- Yes, sir. - Cheers.

- Thanks, Mom. - Sure.

Belly?

I just want you to know

that if you decide you hate it or if the girls are mean

or even if the food is bad, you can text me.

I promise I won't say "I told you so."

- I'll be fine. - Humor me?

Use our code phrase, and I'll be right there.

Mom.

You remember it from when you were little, right?

- Lemon Jelly Belly. - Lemon Jelly Belly.

Have fun.

Hey.

Jeremiah.

Oh, my God. Uh, Belly.

Wow. I didn't even recognize you.

Tell me the truth. Um, do I look like a fool?

Um...

Uh, no, y-you look good. You look good.

Um, let me walk you over.

What?

- Nothing. - Uh, let's go.

Uh, are those... are those pineapples?

- Pineapples? - Pineapples, yeah?

No, they're flowe... Have you seen flowers before?

I-I have, but that is, for sure, a pineapple.

That's a nice pineapple dress you got there.

They have strawberry, raspberry, raspberry type cookies.

- Oh, they're to die for. - Okay.

I-I still never thought I'd see the day

where you were wearing a fascinator.

Jeremiah.

Paige.

Where's your shirt?

- It's always a pleasure. - Mm-hmm.

This is Belly.

I mean, uh, Isabel Conklin,

the young woman my mom told you about, my future wife.

She's late.

I-I-I'm so sorry.

You're at table two.

Are those those little Brie and fig jam sandwiches

- with the prosciutto? - Don't you dare.

- Okay. - Those are for the girls.

- Jeremiah, those are for the girls! - Just-just one.

Knock 'em dead.

Oh, my God.

That's the girl Conrad was kissing at the bonfire.

And that's the girl Steven was with.

Ugh. FML.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hey.

Lemon Jelly Belly.

Hey.

Hi.

Is that from the other night?

- Yeah. - Here, let me fix it.

- I think we're good. - Yeah?

Thank you.

So...

how's Nicole?

Mom, can we not do this?

Like, no. Uh, uh, you asked me

to come sit for this portrait, and-and I'm here,

and I'm sitting, and I'm more than happy to be here,

but can we not make this, like, a bonding experience, please?

Well, excuse me for trying to connect with my son

before he leaves for a year.

Belly looked really nice in her new dress.

Look, if you want to spend your summer

moping around, I can't stop you, but...

no more sleeping till 2:00,

no more day drinking.

I want you doing something productive.

You're getting a job.

Sure.

Great.

Now sit still.

Sit up.

I told my mom the only way I would do this

is if I could bring my girlfriend, 'cause I thought

it would be a deal killer, but the club has been

surprisingly chill about the whole thing.

- I'm honestly shocked. - Yeah.

Literally, Dara, I was expecting a conversion camp

to spring out of the bushes.

No. Lesbians and debutantes are, like,

- a completely juxtaposing idea. - Opposites.

- Yeah, but Cousins likes to pretend to be woke. - Mm-hmm.

Trust me. My family deals with it constantly.

- The things we do for college applications. - It's insane.

Don't worry, Marisa. You'll get in everywhere.

Wait. Where are you applying?

You know, the usual. Every Ivy minus Cornell.

- Mm-hmm. - Ithaca is so bleak.

I know. What about you?

Oh, Belly's only a sophomore. Right?

I think that's what Conrad told me.

Yeah, I-I'll be a junior in the fall.

So, is this your first summer here in Cousins?

No, I've been coming here for my entire life.

Yeah, she's, like, family friends

with Conrad and Jeremiah.

Uh, so are you and Jeremiah, like, a-a thing,

or are you gonna take him to the ball?

- Um... - Oh, my God, back off, Geeg.

- It was a question. - They're, like, basically

related, okay? You have nothing to worry about.

- I'm not worried. - Yeah, sure.

Keep telling yourself that, babe.

Gigi has had this thing for Jeremiah...

Ever since he got abs?

- Pun intended. Absolutely. - Relax.

I'm not into Jeremiah Fisher.

Yeah, and your noticing his abs?

- Ooh. - No.

She's too busy eye-fucking the waiter.

Dude, that's Belly's brother.

Oh, my God.

- Really? - Oh, that's gross.

So, what's it like to live with Jeremiah and Conrad?

- Yeah. - Conrad's so mysterious.

Hello, debutantes.

A few small housekeeping bits I'd like to go over.

We have a lot to look forward to this season.

Now, I understand some of you might think

that debbing is outdated.

It's something you're doing to appease your families.

But the Cousins Debutante Ball is a part of history.

Venerated, yet ever evolving,

it's a tradition you'll someday pass on to your own daughters.

It's a formal marking of this passage of time

between your teenage years and your adulthood.

One ends, and the other begins.

It's a journey generations of women

before you have taken.

Women who you can learn from and who can inspire you.

Debs, at each table is a big sister

who will guide you through the season.

So, please introduce yourselves.

Hey, little sis.

Hey.

Honestly, my parents made me do it last year

because, you know, like, all the women in my family have done it.

But my big sis was great,

and I actually ended up having a lot of fun.

So just don't be nervous.

Okay? Do you want some?

Um, no, thanks, I'm good, but, uh, I'll be right back.

- Oh. Okay. - Sorry.

What is that about?

Cam.

Belly. What are you doing here?

- Uh... - Wait. Are you a deb?

Yeah, I guess, technically, yes.

Cool. Nice.

I-I went down to the marina yesterday, but, uh, your boat

- had already left. - Seriously? Man.

Yeah. If you'd looked back toward the pier,

you would've seen a-a sweaty version of me

looking wistfully toward your boat.

Well, we never want you to be wistful.

You know, I think it's too late. The wistfulness has set in.

- No. - No. I might be wistful forever.

Okay, well, do you think going to a drive-in movie

with me tonight might help with the wistfulness?

Yeah, I think it would.

Cool.

Uh, you know what? Let me give you this.

You can put your information.

Um...

I think that should be good.

- Sweet. Yay. Cool. - There you go.

- So, I'll see you later. - Okay, yeah. Bye.

Bye. Have fun. See you later.

You look really cute.

You are gonna have so much fun tonight.

We're just going to see a movie.

You look nice, hon.

I can't believe crop tops are back.

Remember how I thought I was

such hot shit in that baby tee I wore freshman year?

Have fun tonight.

Are you not driving with us?

Um...

Didn't Belly tell you? She has a date.

Sorry, Mom.

- Um, his name is Cam. - Yeah, his mom works at the club.

Really nice boy, very smart.

Like, Harvard smart.

It's fine.

Of course you can go. I've dragged you to enough

of these book parties over the years.

Have a great date.

Thanks.

Do we need to talk about consent before you go?

Mom.

I kind of wish I weren't going to this party, either.

- No offense. - Quit being such a Debbie Downer.

You'll get inspired again. I know it.

Maybe I said all I have to say.

Maybe I don't have any books left in me anymore.

You haven't done anything since your divorce.

You got to get out there, replenish the well, have fun.

Go to parties.

Come on.

Full team, full team, full team.

Okay, I'm coming, coming right now.

Wait. You see one?

- Cracked one, cracked one. - Nice. - Got him.

See you guys later.

Damn!

Are you kidding? No.

Yeah, fine, just abandon the game completely, Jere.

You... look... hot.

Hey, hey, hey, stop flirting with my sister.

- Shut up, Steven. - No, you shut up.

Well, you look good, though.

You driving with, or are you meeting us there?

I'm not going to the book party.

I'm going to the drive-in.

With who?

- Dude, dude, focus. Come on. - Um...

Uh, okay. Bye.

All right, let me catch you up.

- Hi. - Hi.

You look... less wistful.

I, uh... I-I feel less wistful.

Okay, good.

What movie are we seeing?

Uh, it's some old movie called, uh, Sabrina.

Audrey Hepburn? Two brothers? That Sabrina?

- I think, so. Yeah. - Yeah? I-I love that movie.

- It got really great reviews. - Oh, cool. I'm-I'm sure it did.

- It's really good. - Yeah? Good.

Yeah.

And as had been traditional

on Long Island for the past 30 years,

the Larrabees were giving a party.

It never rained on the night of the Larrabee party.

The Larrabees wouldn't have stood for it.

There were four Larrabees in all:

father, mother and two sons.

Maude and Oliver Larrabee were married in 1906,

and among their many wedding presents

was a townhouse in New York and this estate for weekends.

Are you sure you don't want something to drink or...?

- Yeah, I'm okay, thanks. - Yeah.

Linus Larrabee, the elder son,

graduated from Yale, where his classmates voted him

the man most likely to leave his alma mater $50 million.

His brother David

went through several of the best Eastern colleges

for short periods of time,

and through several marriages

for even shorter periods of time.

He is now a successful six-goal polo player

and is listed on Linus's tax return

as a $600 deduction.

Life was pleasant among the Larrabees,

for this was as close to heaven as one could get on Long Island.

Don't drop it.

You can do it, all right?

Thank you.

I really liked it.

- You read my book? - Yeah. Yeah.

I thought it was, uh, really interesting

how you made, um, Iris an unreliable narrator.

In what way?

Just, uh, how the story she was telling us

about her marriage, I mean, so clearly wasn't the real story.

I'm not sure that's entirely true,

but okay.

Great to meet you, Cleveland.

- Can't wait for the next one. - Yeah. You, too.

So, what is the next one?

It's mainly about sailing.

Yeah, it's sort of a modern epic.

You sail?

Are you surprised? Is that...?

Kind of. I thought you were, like, a Brooklyn hipster.

- Ooh. - Do people say "hipster" anymore?

No.

But you're right. I don't sail.

You know, I am trying to learn.

You know, I like...

I like to write about things I know nothing about,

to completely immerse myself in new worlds.

And the problem is... I am completely lost at sea.

You see that boy over there?

Oh, yeah, the one who's been pounding chardonnay all night.

- Yeah. - Oh, Conrad?

Come over here.

Conrad, this is Cleveland.

He's writing a book about sailing

but also knows nothing about sailing.

Conrad's a great sailor.

You won a regatta last year, right?

Came in second, but...

Ah.

So, uh, do you teach?

You know, I could, uh, use some lessons.

So... yeah.

Did my mom put you up to this?

What? Why?

Typical.

A man of few words?

Apparently.

Um, here you go.

- Oh, thank you. - Mm-hmm.

You know, this shit is so boring. Can we go somewhere?

Yeah. Where?

We could go into town, I don't know,

buy some weed from that guy with the Rainbow Dash tattoo?

Nah, he got arrested last summer.

- Oh, shit. Really? - Yeah.

Yeah, we could go to the drive-in.

Dude, gross. No, I-I don't want to watch Belly hooking up

with some kid in the back seat of a minivan.

Yo, actually...

let's go to the drive-in.

Wait. Like... like, really?

Yeah. Why not?

- Yeah. Yeah! - All right, bro.

You're driving.

- Oh, yes. - Guys...

Get up. Come on.

Can, um... can I ask you a question?

Yeah.

Why marine biology?

Well, why not?

I just... I feel like it was a, um,

a phase that everyone goes through when they're little,

but y-you stuck with it.

Yeah.

There's a jellyfish with Benjamin Button's disease.

How do you say in French...?

- What? - Yup.

Scientists think it's immortal.

But nobody knows why, though.

This thing could be, like, the cure for cancer,

but how do you harness jellyfish cells?

I-I don't know. How do you?

I don't know either.

Nobody does. It's nuts.

And, um, eels?

Nobody knows how eels reproduce.

- Seriously. - Hmm.

The fact that eels exist, it's just, like, a complete anomaly.

- Really? - Yeah. It's wild.

And people don't know, you know, what's at the bottom

of the Mariana Trench either, so...

So many inexplicable things about the ocean.

I want to be able to explain them, some of them.

- Totally. - Sure.

Why are you looking at me that way?

All night long, I've had the most

terrible impulse to do something.

Well, never resist an impulse, Sabrina,

especially if it's terrible.

I'm going to do it.

Before last night, I'd only kissed boys

during spin the bottle, not in real life,

not because we both really want it,

but the way I feel right now,

this is what everyone talks about.

Hey, could you, um, grab me that drink, actually?

Maybe like a-a Cherry Coke or something else?

Yeah, it's no problem. Sounds good.

- Thank you. Yeah. - Yeah, I'll be right back.

Thanks.

What the hell do you think you're doing?!

Uh, just catching the end of our favorite movie.

- I mean... - You have no right! You have to go!

Oh, Belly, relax. We-we were just joking around.

Steven, if you don't leave, I swear to God

I will send everyone in this car your Dramione fanfic.

You wouldn't.

Oh, he spent an entire chapter talking about Draco's wand.

- Bro. - Oh, my God.

- Steven, come on. - You know, don't be embarrassed, man. Draco's hot.

- Drop it. Drop it. - Hey, seriously?

Please leave.

...or fallen through.

Let me put it this way.

- All right, let's go, guys. - What? - Wait. What?

- Are you kidding me? - Steven, drive the car.

You were the one who wanted to come, Conrad.

I seem to have missed something here.

Would you mind starting all over again?

Now, Miss McCardle.

Elizabeth, I hate to have to break the news to you,

but at this very moment, your fiancé David Larrabee...

Is late, as usual.

No problem. Hi, how can I help you?

Hello, everybody. Hello, darling.

Huzzah. Cherry Coke.

- Thank you so much. - For you. No problem.

I heard there was a board meeting going on.

- How is it? - It's good.

Sabrina? Who's Sabrina?

That name, that name.

She's on the boat, I guess.

What are you up to, hon?

Uh...

yeah, you know, just video games.

Don't stay up too late.

You've got work early in the morning tomorrow.

All right, Mom. Promise.

Had a really good time tonight.

Did you, also?

Yeah. No, I had a really...

I had a really great time, yeah.

I think I was just dehydrated before.

Okay.

Are you... hydrated now?

Yeah, very.

I don't want this night to be over.

Uh, can I, uh...?

Would it be cool to you if...?

- Can I? - Yeah, yes. Yeah.

- Uh... Yup. - Oh, yeah. Good idea.

- Thank you. I just... - Don't need those.

How was your hot date?

Excuse me?

Okay, relax. We were just having a little fun.

You guys are assholes.

Belly, come on.

All I wanted was to go to a drive-in with a guy

that I think is-is cute and sweet,

and... and you guys had to come and ruin it.

And us showing up, for, like, two minutes ruined that, really?

Grow up, Belly.

Why couldn't you let me have this one thing?

Huh? Admit it.

You knew what you were doing.

What? What was I doing?

Reminding me that you existed.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You cared where I was, who I was with.

No, I didn't. I don't care.

- Stop lying! - Stop being such a baby!

Oh, and you're such an adult?

You spent your Saturday night crashing my first date for fun.

Fine. Fine. Forget it.

Why don't you go smoke some more pot?

Why don't you go look in the mirror some more?

I wonder if this is the way all crushes die.

With a whimper, slowly, and then, just like that, gone.
