1
00:00:17,976 --> 00:00:20,687
I've always believed in The One.
2
00:00:21,312 --> 00:00:23,356
That there's someone out there for me.
3
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,068
A perfect match, a soulmate.
4
00:00:27,152 --> 00:00:30,572
And for The One, I would do anything.
5
00:00:32,991 --> 00:00:34,868
I've had my heart broken more than once.
6
00:00:34,951 --> 00:00:37,829
Rot in there, you psychotic asshole.
7
00:00:37,912 --> 00:00:40,123
And things haven't always
been easy in my life.
8
00:00:41,791 --> 00:00:42,791
What did you do?
9
00:00:45,462 --> 00:00:50,258
But all that felt worth it
when I met Love Quinn.
10
00:00:50,341 --> 00:00:51,468
I wolf you.
11
00:00:51,551 --> 00:00:52,761
I loved her.
12
00:00:52,844 --> 00:00:55,722
I embraced all of her,
even the hard parts.
13
00:00:55,805 --> 00:00:59,142
All you ever have to do is keep
your brother safe. You failed.
14
00:01:00,769 --> 00:01:03,563
But I was wrong... about Love.
15
00:01:05,065 --> 00:01:07,776
Find a city. When you get there,
I'll help you get legal ID,
16
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:09,652
I will send you money, not abandon you.
17
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:10,612
Burn in hell.
18
00:01:10,695 --> 00:01:13,323
And by then, it was too late.
19
00:01:13,406 --> 00:01:14,824
We can be together now.
20
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:16,326
I don't think we can.
21
00:01:17,285 --> 00:01:19,704
- Really, really, truly.
- No, I'm pregnant!
22
00:01:20,830 --> 00:01:24,542
And then I realized
who I really need to protect.
23
00:01:24,626 --> 00:01:26,169
Our daughter.
24
00:01:26,252 --> 00:01:28,838
For her, I moved to some soulless,
25
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:30,882
wealthy suburb outside San Francisco.
26
00:01:30,965 --> 00:01:33,968
For her, I'd marry the monster,
her mother.
27
00:01:34,052 --> 00:01:38,431
For her, I'd lock myself into this prison.
28
00:01:39,057 --> 00:01:41,434
Not sure how I'm ever going
to get us both out.
29
00:01:41,518 --> 00:01:47,440
But there's one part of the old me
I can't quite shake.
30
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:50,110
I still believe in The One.
31
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:55,907
That the right person is out there for me.
32
00:01:59,744 --> 00:02:05,834
I never thought to wonder
what happens after boy gets girl.
33
00:02:06,876 --> 00:02:08,419
'Cause we know:
34
00:02:09,629 --> 00:02:11,756
"And they lived happily ever after."
35
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,509
Fade to black, roll credits.
36
00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:18,346
I should have asked more questions.
37
00:02:18,429 --> 00:02:21,474
'Cause I've been in
some harrowing situations in my life.
38
00:02:21,558 --> 00:02:23,351
But this?
39
00:02:23,434 --> 00:02:26,312
I could really use a map.
40
00:02:26,396 --> 00:02:28,231
Joe. Joe.
41
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:30,525
That's your cue.
42
00:02:31,526 --> 00:02:33,194
It's time to cut the umbilical cord.
43
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:39,200
But I've forged my way
in the dark before, I can do it now.
44
00:02:39,284 --> 00:02:40,702
I have to.
45
00:02:41,327 --> 00:02:43,663
To protect my daughter.
46
00:02:43,746 --> 00:02:45,748
Congratulations, Dad. It's a boy.
47
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:50,712
- It's a boy?
- Hey.
48
00:02:50,795 --> 00:02:52,964
- Hi.
- I'm fucked.
49
00:02:54,549 --> 00:02:56,009
And so is he.
50
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:10,690
- Careful. Careful.
- And what's our future president's name?
51
00:03:11,357 --> 00:03:12,525
Henry.
52
00:03:12,609 --> 00:03:14,235
Does he have a middle name?
53
00:03:14,777 --> 00:03:17,363
Forty Quinn-Goldberg.
54
00:03:17,447 --> 00:03:19,532
We were told it would be a girl.
55
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:21,284
Oh, probably just shy.
56
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:24,370
- Kept the goods hidden.
- Karma. God owed us a boy.
57
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:28,291
As I was saying, fucked.
58
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:43,848
Now that the baby's here,
59
00:03:43,932 --> 00:03:47,936
at least our white picket purgatory
feels logical.
60
00:03:48,603 --> 00:03:51,856
We moved to Madre Linda
for the schools, after all.
61
00:03:52,815 --> 00:03:56,861
When that patented NorCal fog burns off,
you can see for miles.
62
00:03:56,945 --> 00:03:59,155
Miles of nosy neighbors,
peering suspiciously
63
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:02,242
from behind lawn care equipment
and video doorbells.
64
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:07,038
But, hey, safest neighborhood
in the Golden State.
65
00:04:07,121 --> 00:04:09,666
And who wouldn't sell their soul for that?
66
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:12,794
We have everything.
67
00:04:12,877 --> 00:04:15,338
So he has everything.
68
00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:19,467
The perfect family,
funded by Quinn blood money.
69
00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:21,594
We wanted to get here all on our own.
70
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:25,265
You compromise when you have to,
when it's for them.
71
00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:26,849
Welcome home, Forty.
72
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:28,893
Maybe we can use his real name.
73
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:34,065
We're a family.
74
00:04:34,691 --> 00:04:38,903
Me, a boy and his mom,
who is usually great
75
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:41,489
but occasionally murders people
with her bare hands.
76
00:04:41,572 --> 00:04:42,949
What could go wrong?
77
00:04:45,910 --> 00:04:49,789
We've barely left the house
since that drive home from the hospital.

like an essay by Nicholson Baker.
81
00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:04,387
Tiny moments made magnificent.
82
00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:05,471
Yeah.

as written by Jean-Paul Sartre.
91
00:05:36,711 --> 00:05:37,545
Joe.
92
00:05:37,628 --> 00:05:39,630
Despite living in some Greek myth
93
00:05:39,714 --> 00:05:43,259
about pushing a boulder
of baby poop up a hill,
94
00:05:43,968 --> 00:05:46,846
it's incredible, the urge to protect.
95
00:05:47,472 --> 00:05:51,100
I feel it in my bones.
I would do anything for him.
96
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:53,811
"I thought of Gatsby's wonder
when he first picked out
97
00:05:53,895 --> 00:05:55,813
the green light
at the end of Daisy's dock.
98
00:05:55,897 --> 00:05:59,025
He'd come a long way
to this blue lawn, and it..."
99
00:06:02,111 --> 00:06:03,111
It's okay.
100
00:06:03,654 --> 00:06:07,408
What I don't feel is connection.
101
00:06:08,618 --> 00:06:12,747
The more I try to bond, the more he cries.
102
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:15,750
He knows we don't have it.
103
00:06:23,091 --> 00:06:24,926
- You okay?
- I'm fine.
104
00:06:25,009 --> 00:06:27,345
"I'm fine" is code
for "nipples are bleeding,
105
00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:28,805
hormones still a mosh pit,
106
00:06:28,888 --> 00:06:31,557
haven't slept in six months,
and have not begun to process
107
00:06:31,641 --> 00:06:33,684
the death of my brother."
108
00:06:33,768 --> 00:06:37,105
I'm here. Where's my perfect boy?
109
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:39,399
Look what Glamma got Forty.
110
00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:41,776
Also not processing Forty's death,
111
00:06:41,859 --> 00:06:45,321
Glamma Dottie,
who got a condo 30 minutes away.
112
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:47,740
Mom, his name is Henry.
113
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:51,202
Well, Henry smells like he needs a change.
114
00:06:51,285 --> 00:06:53,121
I'll do it. If you just, uh...
115
00:06:53,996 --> 00:06:55,998
take a few photos for my feed.
116
00:06:56,833 --> 00:06:58,835
- Okay.
- Though she is chronicling her grief
117
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:01,170
extensively on Instagram.
118
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:05,675
And her shaman officially confirmed
that Henry is Forty, reincarnated.
119
00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:08,177
Given how ecstatic he is
when she comes around
120
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:12,098
and how, well, not with me,
Dottie's Shaman might be right.
121
00:07:17,645 --> 00:07:22,358
At least I have a small remnant
of my former life.
122
00:07:29,532 --> 00:07:31,701
There's no bookstore
in this circle of hell,
123
00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:34,203
but I found willing buyers online.
124
00:07:34,871 --> 00:07:36,998
And I send the profits to Ellie...
125
00:07:37,999 --> 00:07:39,542
whenever I hear from her.
126
00:07:45,047 --> 00:07:48,384
On the rare occasion
we do venture into the wild, Forty...
127
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:53,389
No, no. Henry inevitably cries
before we're handed our lattes.
128
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:58,810
Aw.
129
00:07:59,896 --> 00:08:03,274
My twins had an oral fixation
for the record books.
130
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:06,569
Sherry, by the way.
131
00:08:06,652 --> 00:08:10,573
As in, locally famous momfluencer
Sherry Conrad.
132
00:08:10,656 --> 00:08:15,036
Her blog slash podcast slash brand,
Heart-Shaped Mistakes...
133
00:08:15,119 --> 00:08:17,997
Kill me... is a mecca
of humblebragging and superiority
134
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,916
fronting as hard-earned wisdom.
135
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:22,168
- I'm Love.
- Quinn-Goldberg?
136
00:08:22,251 --> 00:08:24,003
- And this is Joe?
- Yeah.
137
00:08:24,086 --> 00:08:27,507
And Mr. Handsome here is Forty, is it?
138
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:30,468
- Henry. It's Henry.
- Crazy it's taken months for us to meet.
139
00:08:30,551 --> 00:08:32,929
Yeah. Well, newborn, you know.
140
00:08:33,012 --> 00:08:35,348
Oh, my God. I completely understand.
141
00:08:35,431 --> 00:08:37,767
Glad we're able to run into each other.
142
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:42,522
We gotta get coffee together, Love.
I'll share all my secrets.
143
00:08:42,605 --> 00:08:43,648
That tone,
144
00:08:43,731 --> 00:08:47,318
warm with an undertone
of Peach-level condescension.
145
00:08:47,401 --> 00:08:49,695
You're doing great. Bye.
146
00:08:49,779 --> 00:08:50,947
Thanks. Bye.
147
00:08:51,989 --> 00:08:54,742
Like I need her approval. What the fuck?
148
00:08:54,825 --> 00:08:57,787
She's lucky I didn't stab her
in the eye. Let's go.
149
00:08:58,663 --> 00:09:01,499
Thing about trying
to keep a human infant alive,
150
00:09:01,582 --> 00:09:05,711
you can't afford to think too hard
about who you're in the trenches with.
151
00:09:05,795 --> 00:09:07,338
I'm in the trenches with a woman
152
00:09:07,421 --> 00:09:09,465
who jokes about stabbing someone
in the eye,
153
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:12,635
- but is actually perfectly capable of it.
- Want some?
154
00:09:12,718 --> 00:09:14,345
Mm. Thank you.
155
00:09:15,805 --> 00:09:20,560
I don't let myself think
about who Love is, what she is.
156
00:09:20,643 --> 00:09:24,564
My job is to be a good husband
so I can be a good father.
157
00:09:24,647 --> 00:09:25,773
Hey, Natalie!
158
00:09:26,649 --> 00:09:27,733
Hi.
159
00:09:47,253 --> 00:09:49,297
I don't get what her problem is.
160
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:52,967
- What? Who?
- Our neighbor, Natalie.
161
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:56,846
She didn't give us a housewarming gift,
nothing when Forty was born.
162
00:09:56,929 --> 00:09:58,973
Henry. Henry.
163
00:09:59,056 --> 00:10:02,018
Yeah, I think you're right.
She seems a little off.
164
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:09,358
What, did I kiss you wrong? Or...
165
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,861
No, no, I'm just tired.
166
00:10:11,944 --> 00:10:15,531
And this place is a mess.
And Sherry just said to my face...
167
00:10:16,157 --> 00:10:20,244
- basically, that I'm a mess.
- She's an idiot. Just lie down.
168
00:10:20,328 --> 00:10:22,830
I'll take care of this, take care of him.
169
00:10:24,957 --> 00:10:25,791
Shh.
170
00:10:25,875 --> 00:10:29,128
And there he goes.
Every time I touch him.
171
00:10:29,211 --> 00:10:31,922
Just fucking let me do it, Joe. Joe. Joe.
172
00:10:32,006 --> 00:10:33,007
It's fine.
173
00:10:34,091 --> 00:10:36,594
Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
174
00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:39,889
Hey, hey, hey.
175
00:10:39,972 --> 00:10:42,016
Why does my own child not like me?
176
00:10:42,099 --> 00:10:45,436
You know, babies can tell
when your heart's not in it.
177
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,731
- I... What...?
- No. I'm sorry. It's all in my head.
178
00:10:57,907 --> 00:10:59,283
Go fuck yourself.
179
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,502
Love's right.
My heart's not really in it.
180
00:11:10,378 --> 00:11:13,964
How could it be when you stole it?
181
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:15,840
Love?
182
00:11:17,885 --> 00:11:18,928
Hey, uh...
183
00:11:20,554 --> 00:11:23,683
we're running low on diapers,
so I'll be right back.
184
00:11:31,732 --> 00:11:35,820
Honestly, you're what's gotten me
through this imprisonment.
185
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:41,492
The green light at the end of my dock.
186
00:11:43,619 --> 00:11:46,497
Knowing you feel the same as I do.
187
00:11:48,249 --> 00:11:49,875
Hello, neighbor.
188
00:11:58,467 --> 00:12:00,428
I don't want it
to happen here like this.
189
00:12:00,511 --> 00:12:03,264
I want you some place luxurious.
You deserve that.
190
00:12:03,347 --> 00:12:06,392
The car is fine. Shut up and kiss me.
191
00:12:06,475 --> 00:12:08,018
Did you just read my mind?
192
00:12:21,907 --> 00:12:23,617
- Hey, neighbor.
- Hi, Natalie.
193
00:12:23,701 --> 00:12:27,455
You must be so under-slept.
I hear your baby crying all the time.
194
00:12:27,538 --> 00:12:30,332
- Oh.
- No, no. Babies cry. Just...
195
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:34,086
I get why you might be sleeping
in a grocery store parking lot.
196
00:12:34,170 --> 00:12:36,964
Here. I thought I'd save you a trip.
197
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:38,883
You've been watching me too.
198
00:12:38,966 --> 00:12:41,218
- Thank you.
- One more thing.
199
00:12:41,302 --> 00:12:44,847
Don't believe the bullshit
about breastfeeding preventing pregnancy.
200
00:12:44,930 --> 00:12:47,141
My sister got knocked up so fast.
201
00:12:47,224 --> 00:12:49,393
Friends tell friends. So...
202
00:12:52,521 --> 00:12:54,273
Are you flirting with me?
203
00:13:01,030 --> 00:13:04,533
Sure, the condom thing may be
a little joke from a neighbor
204
00:13:04,617 --> 00:13:06,952
with a mild taste for stirring the pot.
205
00:13:07,036 --> 00:13:10,414
Just friendly. Very friendly though.
206
00:13:10,498 --> 00:13:13,584
Exciting as that is, I have to be careful.
207
00:13:13,667 --> 00:13:18,339
I can't just walk out of this web.
The spider has my child.
208
00:13:18,422 --> 00:13:21,217
Also, truth? I've made...
209
00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:24,887
mistakes in the past.
210
00:13:30,267 --> 00:13:31,894
Would you be a mistake?
211
00:13:33,062 --> 00:13:34,438
Who are you?
212
00:13:37,733 --> 00:13:40,194
- Where are you going? Great, feed Henry.
- Oh, just...
213
00:13:40,277 --> 00:13:43,447
I got winded going up ten stairs.
I need to hit a gym.
214
00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:45,198
Shit.
215
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:51,789
Whenever I hang with Henry,
I'm reminded of two things.
216
00:13:51,872 --> 00:13:53,374
One, he hates me.
217
00:13:53,457 --> 00:13:57,378
Two, I have to protect him at all costs
from what happened to me.
218
00:13:57,461 --> 00:13:58,921
Joey!
219
00:13:59,004 --> 00:14:01,841
- Where's your mama now?
- Run, you little bitch!
220
00:14:01,924 --> 00:14:04,260
- Run, you little bitch!
- Come get some.
221
00:14:04,343 --> 00:14:06,011
- What are you scared of?
- Get him!
222
00:14:06,095 --> 00:14:07,680
Come on, Joey!
223
00:14:07,763 --> 00:14:08,973
Open the door.
224
00:14:09,056 --> 00:14:11,183
- You freak!
- Come get what's coming to you.
225
00:14:11,267 --> 00:14:13,936
- Boys! What's going on here?
- Teacher! Run!
226
00:14:14,603 --> 00:14:16,146
Boys! What did...?
227
00:14:22,403 --> 00:14:26,115
Hey, hey. Joe, Joe. Let me in.
Hey, it's me, it's me. Let me in.
228
00:14:28,784 --> 00:14:29,994
Dude, you okay?
229
00:14:31,036 --> 00:14:33,122
Bro, why do you do this to yourself?
230
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:35,291
- They're the ones who do it.
- You asked for it.
231
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:40,296
- Quit saying your mom's coming back.
- She is.
232
00:14:41,255 --> 00:14:43,173
If she cared, would you be here?
233
00:14:43,924 --> 00:14:45,301
- You don't understand.
- Fine.
234
00:14:45,926 --> 00:14:47,678
Just shut up about it, okay?
235
00:14:48,929 --> 00:14:50,991
- I don't see why...
- The rest of us are trying to deal
236
00:14:51,015 --> 00:14:52,975
with how no one fucking wants us.
237
00:14:53,934 --> 00:14:58,647
Face it. When our parents gave us up,
they threw us away forever, man.
238
00:15:01,984 --> 00:15:04,695
Natalie!
Oh, my God, look at this place!
239
00:15:04,778 --> 00:15:05,778
Who are you?
240
00:15:07,406 --> 00:15:10,784
On the surface, a realtor,
and you're good at it.
241
00:15:10,868 --> 00:15:13,287
You wanna make things lovelier.
242
00:15:13,370 --> 00:15:16,206
You left college early
when you met your husband,
243
00:15:16,290 --> 00:15:18,751
tech entrepreneur Matthew Engler,
244
00:15:18,834 --> 00:15:21,295
about whom there is even less to learn
245
00:15:21,378 --> 00:15:23,923
unless I wanna take the word of publicists
246
00:15:24,006 --> 00:15:26,342
paid to manicure every inch
of his online footprint.
247
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,511
Is this what you wanted?
248
00:15:30,304 --> 00:15:33,557
Marry someone older, busy, never home
249
00:15:33,641 --> 00:15:35,976
while you sell houses to rich assholes
250
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:40,022
and pick up his dry cleaning?
Is that love for you?
251
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:41,815
Do you love him?
252
00:15:41,899 --> 00:15:45,319
Do you long for something deeper, true?
253
00:15:45,903 --> 00:15:47,112
Like I do.
254
00:15:49,698 --> 00:15:51,426
- I know.
- I think someone...
255
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:54,453
- Like, I think maybe...
- Oh, Love Quinn!
256
00:15:54,536 --> 00:15:56,455
Come hither.
257
00:15:56,538 --> 00:15:59,875
- Hi.
- Hi. This is Kiki, and this is Andrew.
258
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:01,794
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
259
00:16:01,877 --> 00:16:05,339
Love's gorgeous baby boy is,
what, seven months?
260
00:16:05,422 --> 00:16:07,091
- Yeah.
- Oh, I miss that age.
261
00:16:07,174 --> 00:16:11,178
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Love, I was glad to see you in class.
262
00:16:11,261 --> 00:16:13,722
- Fucking kicked my ass.
- Oh, I know.
263
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:15,933
That class is for really fit people,
264
00:16:16,016 --> 00:16:17,977
but you'll get used to it.
265
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:22,356
- I had so much baby weight to lose.
- Same. I had quite the journey.
266
00:16:22,439 --> 00:16:24,817
I mean, much worse than yours.
267
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:26,527
It was. It really was.
268
00:16:27,611 --> 00:16:30,823
Is it just me
or is everyone calling me fat?
269
00:16:31,448 --> 00:16:33,200
- Oh, oh, no.
- No, no, no.
270
00:16:33,283 --> 00:16:35,619
And would that even be a pejorative?
271
00:16:35,703 --> 00:16:38,664
I mean, beauty doesn't have a size, Love.
272
00:16:39,623 --> 00:16:41,125
Come latte with us.
273
00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:43,002
- Yeah?
- Mm-hm.
274
00:16:44,086 --> 00:16:45,170
Okay.
275
00:16:45,254 --> 00:16:48,173
- Yeah, I could go for some coffee.
- Amazing.
276
00:16:48,257 --> 00:16:50,134
Great! We got a group.
277
00:16:58,392 --> 00:17:00,894
I might not have solved
the mystery of you yet,
278
00:17:00,978 --> 00:17:05,274
but I know one thing:
I wasn't wrong to be intrigued.
279
00:17:07,568 --> 00:17:10,612
Forgive the pun.
This speaks volumes about you.
280
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:13,782
I didn't even know
this hell-burb had a library.
281
00:17:20,456 --> 00:17:25,127
Libraries represent
the very best of civilized society,
282
00:17:25,210 --> 00:17:29,256
the housing of an egalitarian access
to knowledge.
283
00:17:30,007 --> 00:17:32,217
It's what separates us from the apes.
284
00:17:34,303 --> 00:17:38,807
And yet, it physically hurts to see
the condition of most of these books.
285
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:41,810
Mr. Mooney once said
the way a society treats its books
286
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:43,574
is the most accurate harbinger
of its fate.
287
00:17:43,604 --> 00:17:45,189
You see enough broken bindings,
288
00:17:45,272 --> 00:17:48,692
you know that Rome's burning
or will be soon enough.
289
00:17:49,818 --> 00:17:53,864
But there's still something to fight for
in this wretched world.
290
00:17:54,907 --> 00:17:56,742
Oh, what's little man's name?
291
00:17:56,825 --> 00:18:00,621
- Oh, it's Henry.
- I dated a Henry.
292
00:18:00,704 --> 00:18:04,249
- Henrys are great.
- Well, Henry thanks you.
293
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:05,501
Excuse us.
294
00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:07,836
Hard to be invisible
with the greatest lady magnet
295
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,589
in the history of the species
strapped to you.
296
00:18:16,303 --> 00:18:19,431
The Fifth Season, Gone Girl, Seabiscuit.
297
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:22,392
Okay, I'm stumped. Why those?
298
00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:24,019
Who are you?
299
00:18:24,728 --> 00:18:26,063
Oh, Henry, okay.
300
00:18:37,366 --> 00:18:39,201
All right, it's okay. Shh, shh, shh.
301
00:18:45,082 --> 00:18:47,376
- Hi.
- So are you gonna chase after her,
302
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:50,003
- or could I help you with something?
- Yeah.
303
00:18:50,087 --> 00:18:53,966
- I'd like to apply for a library card.
- You've come to the right place.
304
00:18:54,049 --> 00:18:55,175
Good.
305
00:18:56,385 --> 00:18:57,636
Fill that out for me.
306
00:18:58,512 --> 00:19:01,807
We have a great kids section
just in the corner.
307
00:19:02,516 --> 00:19:05,727
And... you can take that home with you.
308
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:09,231
Natalie picked it out for you.
309
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:15,737
You are flirting with me.
310
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:17,322
- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.
311
00:19:22,244 --> 00:19:25,956
When they start to crawl,
it's a miracle anyone survives.
312
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:29,334
I'm so blessed
we have three incredible nannies.
313
00:19:29,418 --> 00:19:32,504
Oh, my God.
It's twice as insane with twins.
314
00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:34,923
It's kind of why I started writing.
To just share.
315
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:38,802
So others won't make
the mountain of mistakes I did.
316
00:19:38,886 --> 00:19:41,263
Yeah. What is the name of your blog again?
317
00:19:41,346 --> 00:19:43,432
Oh, she's Heart-Shaped Mistakes.
318
00:19:43,515 --> 00:19:45,726
- You seriously haven't read it?
- No.
319
00:19:45,809 --> 00:19:48,228
- It's small.
- She invented momfluencing.
320
00:19:48,312 --> 00:19:49,938
- Don't be humble.
- No. It's fun.
321
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:53,817
I can stay home with my twins.
What do you do for work?
322
00:19:56,069 --> 00:20:01,366
- Well, I used to... I'm trained as a chef.
- Oh.
323
00:20:02,075 --> 00:20:03,660
Yeah, and I, uh...
324
00:20:04,953 --> 00:20:07,664
I haven't really had much time
since he was born, I guess.
325
00:20:07,748 --> 00:20:10,459
- Well, yes.
- Your job right now is to connect
326
00:20:10,542 --> 00:20:11,960
with your baby and your man.
327
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:15,714
So easy for you to say.
Has your vagina even recovered yet?
328
00:20:15,797 --> 00:20:19,426
- Oh, my God. You're embarrassing her.
- Don't be vagina-phobic.
329
00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:25,098
God! I wish someone would've told me.
Sex is hard to get back into.
330
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:29,353
- But connecting intimately? So crucial.
- Mm-hm.
331
00:20:29,436 --> 00:20:32,814
Endorphins, oxytocin,
it's incredible for the breast milk.
332
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:35,609
In fact, if you're not orgasming,
333
00:20:35,692 --> 00:20:39,238
your breast milk isn't doing it
for your baby's precious growing brain.
334
00:20:40,322 --> 00:20:43,158
- Well, we're all over that, so...
- Oh.
335
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:44,242
Okay.
336
00:20:48,330 --> 00:20:52,501
Tender Is the Night is widely
considered Fitzgerald's darkest work.
337
00:20:52,584 --> 00:20:54,670
It's about marriage and infidelity.
338
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:57,089
Invitation? Or a warning?
339
00:20:57,172 --> 00:20:59,591
- Okay. I finally got him down.
- Mm. Good work.
340
00:21:00,801 --> 00:21:03,512
And I got you...
341
00:21:05,555 --> 00:21:06,765
a pain au chocolat.
342
00:21:07,474 --> 00:21:10,269
Don't get me wrong.
This isn't some German fairy tale
343
00:21:10,352 --> 00:21:13,772
where a witch keeps me locked up
till it's time to eat me.
344
00:21:14,356 --> 00:21:16,692
Love is nice, giving.
345
00:21:17,651 --> 00:21:21,113
I fell in love
with a certain version of her.
346
00:21:23,490 --> 00:21:24,574
What do you think?
347
00:21:29,746 --> 00:21:32,916
- It's okay.
- Exactly. This is the best bakery in town?
348
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,585
Shoddy lamination. Too sweet.
349
00:21:35,669 --> 00:21:38,839
- Definitely didn't use French butter.
- Yeah. Yeah, banish them.
350
00:21:38,922 --> 00:21:41,174
Off with their heads. Done.
351
00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:55,022
- Hi.
- Hi.
352
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:07,075
Am I interrupting your reading?
353
00:22:08,076 --> 00:22:10,162
- No, no. No, you're not.
- Seems like I am.
354
00:22:10,245 --> 00:22:12,080
- Just come back. Come back, Love.
- Fuck.
355
00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:13,832
- Stay. Stay.
- No, Joe. Why?
356
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:19,254
- Why won't you talk to me?
- What? We talk...
357
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:21,673
Something is going on.
You're always distracted.
358
00:22:21,757 --> 00:22:23,800
- I'm not distracted.
- Why won't you tell me?
359
00:22:27,929 --> 00:22:28,930
I've got him.
360
00:22:34,144 --> 00:22:36,271
I'm gonna take him to his grandma's.
361
00:22:36,355 --> 00:22:38,565
- Love.
- No, don't worry about it, Joe.
362
00:22:39,608 --> 00:22:40,609
Enjoy the quiet.
363
00:22:57,542 --> 00:22:59,294
Where are you?
364
00:23:13,683 --> 00:23:15,685
- Hello.
- Hey, neighbor.
365
00:23:15,769 --> 00:23:17,187
Care for a drink?
366
00:23:19,272 --> 00:23:20,816
How'd you get my number?
367
00:23:21,358 --> 00:23:23,443
My husband, Matthew, works in tech.
368
00:23:25,612 --> 00:23:26,612
So...
369
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:29,699
not at all invasive tech.
370
00:23:30,867 --> 00:23:32,202
Why are you nervous?
371
00:23:32,285 --> 00:23:34,663
Got some checkered past
you're trying to hide?
372
00:23:36,456 --> 00:23:38,542
No, I'm not worried about me so much as...
373
00:23:40,043 --> 00:23:42,879
you know, the future of civilization.
374
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:44,422
Ah.
375
00:23:44,965 --> 00:23:47,217
Well, that's a lost cause.
376
00:23:49,219 --> 00:23:51,304
You know, I feel I should warn you.
377
00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:55,016
There's no such thing
as privacy in Madre Linda.
378
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:56,518
Including here.
379
00:23:57,686 --> 00:23:58,686
See.
380
00:23:59,688 --> 00:24:01,731
All the cameras in my house.
381
00:24:02,691 --> 00:24:06,653
One out here is broken. That's why
I spend so much time by the pool.
382
00:24:07,529 --> 00:24:11,950
It's the only place in this entire town
I don't feel like I'm being watched.
383
00:24:12,742 --> 00:24:14,202
Boop. Boop.
384
00:24:15,370 --> 00:24:16,371
There.
385
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:17,914
You want us to be alone?
386
00:24:17,998 --> 00:24:19,583
Even that's not really privacy.
387
00:24:19,666 --> 00:24:22,043
Matthew will see I turned them off
and wonder why.
388
00:24:23,336 --> 00:24:26,339
It's so weird,
I don't remember putting on a leash,
389
00:24:26,423 --> 00:24:27,424
just kind of...
390
00:24:28,216 --> 00:24:30,302
slipped around my neck at some point.
391
00:24:30,385 --> 00:24:32,429
You're a prisoner too.
392
00:24:32,512 --> 00:24:35,599
I guess
marriage isn't really built for secrets.
393
00:24:35,682 --> 00:24:38,185
Or people aren't really built
for marriage.
394
00:24:41,313 --> 00:24:42,313
Come with.
395
00:24:42,981 --> 00:24:44,232
I need another drink.
396
00:24:57,245 --> 00:24:58,371
To new friends.
397
00:24:59,873 --> 00:25:03,585
"Who can often have
a better time together than old."
398
00:25:03,668 --> 00:25:05,629
- You got my book.
- Hmm.
399
00:25:06,588 --> 00:25:08,006
- Oh, shit.
- Whoa.
400
00:25:09,841 --> 00:25:11,801
Here. Is that okay? Can I see it?
401
00:25:13,970 --> 00:25:18,225
Aye. Just put pressure on it.
That should stop the bleeding.
402
00:25:22,896 --> 00:25:24,689
Do you have a first aid kit?
403
00:25:25,524 --> 00:25:26,524
Yeah.
404
00:25:28,818 --> 00:25:30,028
It feels right.
405
00:25:30,111 --> 00:25:31,655
Taking care of you.
406
00:25:32,572 --> 00:25:35,367
There. I think you'll live.
407
00:25:35,951 --> 00:25:39,037
- Does it hurt?
- Nothing more wine won't cure.
408
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:51,716
You feel it too, don't you?
409
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:52,801
What?
410
00:25:54,261 --> 00:25:57,222
That feeling
when you're first with someone.
411
00:25:57,305 --> 00:26:00,267
All the tension, possibility...
412
00:26:00,350 --> 00:26:02,018
I wish I could bottle it.
413
00:26:03,645 --> 00:26:05,188
It's better than anything.
414
00:26:05,272 --> 00:26:06,272
I feel it.
415
00:26:09,192 --> 00:26:12,153
I thought it would stay, with Matthew.
416
00:26:14,239 --> 00:26:16,575
Do you think it inevitably goes away?
417
00:26:16,658 --> 00:26:18,076
I think if it's right...
418
00:26:20,078 --> 00:26:21,204
it stays.
419
00:26:22,872 --> 00:26:25,250
So how long did it stay with you and Love?
420
00:26:27,502 --> 00:26:29,296
It's hard to say. Um...
421
00:26:29,921 --> 00:26:31,631
I didn't know the real her...
422
00:26:32,966 --> 00:26:34,342
when I fell in love.
423
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:36,511
- I know how that feels.
- I got swept up.
424
00:26:36,595 --> 00:26:38,430
By the time I realized, it was too late.
425
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,768
I couldn't leave. I couldn't leave her.
426
00:26:45,228 --> 00:26:46,771
People leave all the time.
427
00:26:50,066 --> 00:26:52,152
Not Love.
428
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,197
Our daughter... We thought
we were gonna have a little girl.
429
00:26:56,281 --> 00:26:57,407
Anyway...
430
00:26:58,950 --> 00:26:59,993
I'm in it now...
431
00:27:00,994 --> 00:27:01,994
with Love.
432
00:27:02,537 --> 00:27:03,537
Are you?
433
00:27:06,583 --> 00:27:08,418
Kids aren't handcuffs.
434
00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:11,504
Matthew has a stepson.
435
00:27:12,756 --> 00:27:16,176
- We don't see him much.
- That sounds terrible, for the kid.
436
00:27:16,259 --> 00:27:17,927
It's fine, actually.
437
00:27:18,011 --> 00:27:19,054
You know why?
438
00:27:19,137 --> 00:27:21,806
People are happier
when they aren't lying to themselves...
439
00:27:23,058 --> 00:27:24,225
and everyone else.
440
00:27:24,309 --> 00:27:25,977
So, what are you doing here?
441
00:27:30,106 --> 00:27:32,525
- I can't leave him either.
- Oh!
442
00:27:34,736 --> 00:27:36,404
I can't do that to him.
443
00:27:37,947 --> 00:27:40,241
Even if it means I stay in this...
444
00:27:40,909 --> 00:27:45,580
Dwell Magazine, Twilight Zone
fucking purgatory forever.
445
00:27:46,331 --> 00:27:48,458
- Is it that bad here?
- Ha.
446
00:27:49,167 --> 00:27:50,710
If you're not careful,
447
00:27:51,628 --> 00:27:54,923
you'll start caring about private schools,
448
00:27:55,006 --> 00:27:57,884
stock portfolios,
start reading on a Kindle.
449
00:27:57,967 --> 00:27:58,802
Fuck.
450
00:28:07,394 --> 00:28:09,187
You wanna see my reading room?
451
00:28:16,152 --> 00:28:18,446
We've always slept in separate rooms.
452
00:28:18,988 --> 00:28:20,281
I'm an insomniac.
453
00:28:20,907 --> 00:28:23,159
Also, a slob.
454
00:28:26,705 --> 00:28:30,542
Everything suddenly feels real.
455
00:28:30,625 --> 00:28:34,170
I'm married but to the wrong person.
What if you're the right one?
456
00:28:34,254 --> 00:28:36,005
Hey, where'd you go?
457
00:28:37,006 --> 00:28:38,258
Get out of your head.
458
00:28:39,968 --> 00:28:41,219
Come here.
459
00:29:02,115 --> 00:29:04,409
No. Husband, father. I can't.
460
00:29:04,492 --> 00:29:05,492
I'm sorry.
461
00:29:06,327 --> 00:29:07,829
I gave you the wrong impression.
462
00:29:08,830 --> 00:29:10,832
- I'm pretty sure you didn't.
- No.
463
00:29:13,084 --> 00:29:14,878
I'm just looking for a friend.
464
00:29:16,463 --> 00:29:17,464
Shit.
465
00:29:24,262 --> 00:29:25,930
No, never again.
466
00:29:26,014 --> 00:29:29,225
I promised myself I would do this right.
467
00:29:29,309 --> 00:29:31,644
Love. Hey, I thought...
468
00:29:31,728 --> 00:29:33,396
I got there...
469
00:29:34,564 --> 00:29:36,941
and then I thought about seeing my mom,
470
00:29:37,025 --> 00:29:39,819
and I went and got Häagen-Dazs instead.
471
00:29:41,613 --> 00:29:44,324
Are you okay? You look a little flushed.
472
00:29:45,533 --> 00:29:47,285
I just had a drink with the neighbor.
473
00:29:47,368 --> 00:29:49,245
- Hmm.
- You're right. She's crazy.
474
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:52,832
Look, I'm sorry for running off.
475
00:29:52,916 --> 00:29:53,917
I just...
476
00:30:02,383 --> 00:30:04,469
I was just thinking about our vows.
477
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:07,555
Oh. Yeah.
478
00:30:08,181 --> 00:30:11,559
The ones we wrote on In-N-Out bags
on the way to the courthouse.
479
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:16,147
You said you would always share a bite
of your pastry with me.
480
00:30:16,689 --> 00:30:18,817
That's... That's so generous.
481
00:30:19,901 --> 00:30:22,612
- I am generous.
- You really are, and I'm an asshole.
482
00:30:22,695 --> 00:30:26,324
- No, you're not. You're just...
- I am. And it's been so crazy.
483
00:30:27,951 --> 00:30:30,328
And I was just thinking about that bite.
484
00:30:33,331 --> 00:30:34,624
And you were hungry?
485
00:30:36,751 --> 00:30:38,169
- Yeah.
- Me too.
486
00:30:47,262 --> 00:30:49,055
That feeling you wanna bottle,
487
00:30:49,138 --> 00:30:51,391
turns out, it can come back.
488
00:30:51,474 --> 00:30:53,911
Maybe this is what we were looking for
in each other, Natalie.
489
00:30:53,935 --> 00:30:55,520
What I needed from you.
490
00:30:55,603 --> 00:30:58,189
A way back to Love.
491
00:30:58,273 --> 00:31:00,567
Maybe, thanks to you,
492
00:31:00,650 --> 00:31:02,318
I can make this work.
493
00:31:16,666 --> 00:31:19,377
I should have told Sherry we were busy.
This is gonna suck.
494
00:31:19,460 --> 00:31:21,921
Something tells me
she's not someone you say no to.
495
00:31:22,714 --> 00:31:23,714
It'll be fine.
496
00:31:24,299 --> 00:31:25,884
I have you...
497
00:31:26,968 --> 00:31:28,011
and pie.
498
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:31,180
- Quinn-Goldbergs.
- Hey.
499
00:31:31,264 --> 00:31:34,434
- Step right on up.
- Here you go. This is for you.
500
00:31:34,517 --> 00:31:36,227
- It's gluten-free.
- Oh, great.
501
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:37,311
Yes.
502
00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:40,398
Fun fact,
Sherry had to post an apology video
503
00:31:40,481 --> 00:31:42,275
in August 2020 after it was discovered
504
00:31:42,358 --> 00:31:45,069
that she had a massive party
while the rest of us were home,
505
00:31:45,153 --> 00:31:46,988
clutching hand sanitizer.
506
00:31:47,530 --> 00:31:50,116
Rumor was, the whole neighborhood got
a secret vaccine
507
00:31:50,199 --> 00:31:53,494
manufactured for the Queen of England
and were thus immune to COVID.
508
00:31:53,995 --> 00:31:56,080
I don't believe in conspiracies,
509
00:31:56,164 --> 00:31:59,375
except when they're about
unfair advantages of being rich.
510
00:31:59,459 --> 00:32:02,170
Those are true.
Trust me, I married a Quinn.
511
00:32:02,253 --> 00:32:05,840
Go get you some Pinot.
It's from my friends' winery.
512
00:32:05,924 --> 00:32:08,343
They 3D-print their wine barrels.
513
00:32:09,761 --> 00:32:10,761
Hi.
514
00:32:15,850 --> 00:32:16,935
Thank you.
515
00:32:17,810 --> 00:32:20,939
Oh, that's Kiki and her husband, Brandon.
516
00:32:21,648 --> 00:32:25,401
And there's Andrew and his lawyer husband.
517
00:32:25,485 --> 00:32:27,028
I can't remember his name.
518
00:32:27,528 --> 00:32:28,529
Jackson.
519
00:32:33,076 --> 00:32:35,954
Andrew, Jackson. Now, that is unfortunate.
520
00:32:36,537 --> 00:32:37,789
Oh, my God.
521
00:32:40,041 --> 00:32:41,834
- How could I forget?
- They seem okay,
522
00:32:41,918 --> 00:32:44,545
if you discount the obscene
one-percenter bubble they live in.
523
00:32:44,629 --> 00:32:48,758
Mm. I have to discount that
or we'd have to guillotine both of us too.
524
00:32:48,841 --> 00:32:50,593
Then they're a nice couple.
525
00:32:53,513 --> 00:32:55,306
Contrary to our gracious host.
526
00:32:55,390 --> 00:32:57,016
Never trust a queen bee.
527
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:59,143
Let me show you around, Love.
528
00:32:59,227 --> 00:33:00,853
- Oh, thank you.
- Yeah.
529
00:33:01,688 --> 00:33:03,189
Ah, you must be Joe.
530
00:33:04,148 --> 00:33:05,942
Finally, we meet. Cary Conrad.
531
00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:11,406
'Cause is your life even a brand
without a perfectly imperfect soulmate?
532
00:33:11,489 --> 00:33:12,699
Oh, my God.
533
00:33:13,783 --> 00:33:16,661
Mission accomplished. I cannot tell
who the bigger douchebag is.
534
00:33:16,744 --> 00:33:19,747
- Nice to meet you.
- Let me show you the grill setup.
535
00:33:20,331 --> 00:33:21,332
Okay.
536
00:33:23,167 --> 00:33:27,213
A sea of awkward nerds made good.
Tech made the money, wives did the rest.
537
00:33:27,296 --> 00:33:28,840
Clothes, hair, Barry's Bootcamp,
538
00:33:28,923 --> 00:33:33,386
and they go from kid-stuffed-in-locker
to 21st-century master of the universe.
539
00:33:33,469 --> 00:33:36,264
- It's kind of sweet.
- Kiki tells Dakota, "Don't bother Daddy.
540
00:33:36,347 --> 00:33:39,517
He's micro-dosing ketamine.
It's his special time."
541
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,978
If you overlook the haze
of narcissistic delusion
542
00:33:42,061 --> 00:33:43,271
that just the right biohack,
543
00:33:43,354 --> 00:33:44,564
you'll live forever.
544
00:33:44,647 --> 00:33:47,942
It's all paleo. Well, keto, really.
545
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:51,362
I find when I I.F.,
I'm good on any amount of fats.
546
00:33:51,446 --> 00:33:53,406
- I.F.?
- Intermittent fasting.
547
00:33:54,365 --> 00:33:55,365
You don't?
548
00:33:55,742 --> 00:34:00,580
Well, I mean, obviously you must not
because you're genetically blessed.
549
00:34:01,706 --> 00:34:02,915
Let me get in there.
550
00:34:03,666 --> 00:34:04,666
Oh, yeah.
551
00:34:05,126 --> 00:34:06,753
Lucky. Super high metab.
552
00:34:07,378 --> 00:34:10,882
The guys come and train with me.
I'm a monster. You'll love it.
553
00:34:10,965 --> 00:34:14,302
Is he flirting with me
or inviting me to join Fight Club?
554
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,845
Help yourself to meat.
555
00:34:15,928 --> 00:34:17,055
I'll be back.
556
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:23,227
I didn't know
Lena and Chris were back from Paris.
557
00:34:23,311 --> 00:34:26,981
Oh, and apparently had the best time.
558
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:29,233
- They're open, the marriage.
- Oh.
559
00:34:30,943 --> 00:34:32,195
No judgment from me.
560
00:34:32,987 --> 00:34:33,987
Really?
561
00:34:34,614 --> 00:34:36,741
- None?
- I spent my summers growing up
562
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:39,952
on a commune,
so I got a big dose of all that.
563
00:34:40,036 --> 00:34:41,746
Whatever works, right?
564
00:34:42,663 --> 00:34:45,541
You are such a breath of fresh air, Love.
565
00:34:45,625 --> 00:34:47,043
I'm glad you moved here.
566
00:34:48,836 --> 00:34:51,339
- My pleasure.
- Oh.
567
00:34:51,422 --> 00:34:52,465
Hi.
568
00:34:52,548 --> 00:34:54,634
Natalie and Matthew Engler.
569
00:34:54,717 --> 00:34:58,137
- Oh, she looks amazing.
- She is a bad person.
570
00:34:59,597 --> 00:35:03,101
Matthew was married
to this incredible woman named Mimi,
571
00:35:03,184 --> 00:35:06,104
mother of his child, and then, well...
572
00:35:06,187 --> 00:35:07,688
He met Natalie, and...
573
00:35:07,772 --> 00:35:11,400
We're far too feminist
to ever say a woman stole a man.
574
00:35:11,484 --> 00:35:15,655
She's nice enough.
Great realtor, you know. A cheater.
575
00:35:15,738 --> 00:35:17,907
Good to know
when a person lives next door.
576
00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:18,825
Mm-hm.
577
00:35:18,908 --> 00:35:22,578
Oh, I must say hello to Les.
He's sourcing us a French bulldog.
578
00:35:22,662 --> 00:35:24,705
- I'm empty. I'm gonna go fill up.
- Okay.
579
00:35:29,794 --> 00:35:32,380
You're here, with him?
580
00:35:32,463 --> 00:35:34,257
Looking perfectly content.
581
00:35:34,924 --> 00:35:38,094
Was our evening nothing?
A mistake for us both?
582
00:35:41,430 --> 00:35:43,432
Ever sat in a virtual reality pod?
583
00:35:43,933 --> 00:35:45,977
- Joe?
- No, I can't say that I have.
584
00:35:46,060 --> 00:35:49,313
Oh, Cary's got one in his garage.
It's insane.
585
00:35:49,397 --> 00:35:53,151
Not even just for porn.
But also the porn is spectacular.
586
00:35:54,402 --> 00:35:56,696
We as a species
deserve to go extinct.
587
00:36:00,491 --> 00:36:02,827
So my friend Rachel in L.A.,
588
00:36:03,411 --> 00:36:07,790
she said the brother's a crackhead
who got himself killed.
589
00:36:07,874 --> 00:36:11,460
And the dad's shady too.
Apparently, Anavrin is a front.
590
00:36:11,544 --> 00:36:13,754
Money just papers over that garbage fire.
591
00:36:13,838 --> 00:36:18,050
And, of course, she took her daddy's cash,
bought a whole new life here,
592
00:36:18,134 --> 00:36:20,845
where the rest of us work
for what we have.
593
00:36:20,928 --> 00:36:22,430
- Amen.
- Amen.
594
00:36:22,513 --> 00:36:23,513
Hi.
595
00:36:24,390 --> 00:36:25,808
Can I top off your wine?
596
00:36:26,893 --> 00:36:28,561
- Hi.
- Oh, my God!
597
00:36:28,644 --> 00:36:29,644
Okay.
598
00:36:32,857 --> 00:36:37,069
May I state the obvious?
Sherry Conrad is a terrible person.
599
00:36:38,446 --> 00:36:42,033
- Can you fucking believe that?
- Who runs this town, so...
600
00:36:43,075 --> 00:36:45,828
you kind of can't
get righteously indignant
601
00:36:45,912 --> 00:36:48,748
unless you also wanna be lonely.
602
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:52,501
Well, I have friends.
603
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:54,587
Where, in L.A.?
604
00:36:56,047 --> 00:36:57,924
You need some here too.
605
00:36:58,758 --> 00:37:01,010
I assume you came here for the schools?
606
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:04,013
Well, now, you know those come at a cost.
607
00:37:04,555 --> 00:37:05,848
Pinot, please.
608
00:37:07,850 --> 00:37:09,769
Look, they hate me.
609
00:37:10,436 --> 00:37:14,232
Think I stole Matthew from their friend,
who by the way, was cheating first, but...
610
00:37:15,274 --> 00:37:16,901
Point is,
611
00:37:16,984 --> 00:37:19,904
everyone has to find their way
in Madre Linda.
612
00:37:21,822 --> 00:37:24,325
You mean, around Sherry and her mafia?
613
00:37:24,408 --> 00:37:27,495
It'll be easier
if you can get them to accept you.
614
00:37:27,578 --> 00:37:31,415
They just called my family a garbage fire.
I don't really see that happening.
615
00:37:31,499 --> 00:37:32,625
Okay. Fair.
616
00:37:34,794 --> 00:37:37,672
So do what I do. Get her to respect you.
617
00:37:37,755 --> 00:37:40,424
Authenticity scares the shit out of her.
618
00:37:40,508 --> 00:37:45,096
Do you, no apology, loud and proud,
and you'll cow her into,
619
00:37:45,179 --> 00:37:49,141
if not submission,
at least basic fake friendship.
620
00:37:50,017 --> 00:37:54,313
Okay, great. One problem.
I don't really know who I am these days.
621
00:37:58,901 --> 00:38:00,778
I just had a baby,
622
00:38:01,654 --> 00:38:02,863
and everything's a...
623
00:38:03,739 --> 00:38:07,159
There's nothing authentic
or intimidating about me.
624
00:38:07,243 --> 00:38:09,829
I'm just a stay-at-home mom going insane.
625
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:15,167
I guess there's some...
626
00:38:16,502 --> 00:38:18,045
things I need to figure out.
627
00:38:18,713 --> 00:38:20,506
So if you could do anything,
628
00:38:21,549 --> 00:38:22,800
what would you do?
629
00:38:22,883 --> 00:38:23,883
Just for fun?
630
00:38:25,344 --> 00:38:26,344
Okay.
631
00:38:27,471 --> 00:38:28,848
So this is stupid.
632
00:38:30,391 --> 00:38:33,060
But I have this fantasy
of opening a bakery.
633
00:38:33,894 --> 00:38:36,105
I'm a trained pastry chef in another life,
634
00:38:36,188 --> 00:38:39,525
and feels ridiculous to think about
in a town where nobody eats gluten.
635
00:38:39,608 --> 00:38:40,651
I eat gluten.
636
00:38:40,735 --> 00:38:41,736
Seriously?
637
00:38:43,446 --> 00:38:44,446
You know what?
638
00:38:45,448 --> 00:38:47,908
There's a space available
that might be perfect.
639
00:38:48,451 --> 00:38:49,452
Could be wrong.
640
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:52,246
Or this was fate.
641
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:54,373
Call me if you ever wanna see it.
642
00:38:55,666 --> 00:38:56,792
Thank you.
643
00:38:58,794 --> 00:39:02,381
It's really nice
to have an actual conversation.
644
00:39:02,465 --> 00:39:04,925
I can't believe
we've been living next door for months.
645
00:39:05,551 --> 00:39:07,511
Joe's seen more of you than I have.
646
00:39:07,595 --> 00:39:09,055
Oh, not really.
647
00:39:09,889 --> 00:39:13,642
I keep telling Matthew, I'd love to have
you both over for a drink sometime.
648
00:39:14,518 --> 00:39:16,937
It's crazy, we haven't had
either of you at the house yet.
649
00:39:17,021 --> 00:39:18,314
We'll do it soon.
650
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:22,234
Yeah, that sounds great.
651
00:39:23,486 --> 00:39:24,486
Definitely.
652
00:39:25,321 --> 00:39:26,155
What is wrong?
653
00:39:26,238 --> 00:39:28,366
I have been doing everything
for this family,
654
00:39:28,449 --> 00:39:30,242
and you've been fucking the neighbor.
655
00:39:30,326 --> 00:39:34,288
- What? Wait, what are you talking about?
- I'm not an idiot, Joe!
656
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:35,664
I'm not having an...
657
00:39:35,748 --> 00:39:39,210
Look, I don't know what she said,
but I told you the truth.
658
00:39:39,293 --> 00:39:42,421
We had a drink.
She started acting a little crazy. I left.
659
00:39:42,505 --> 00:39:45,841
Then you came home and fucked me
for the first time in six months.
660
00:39:45,925 --> 00:39:48,405
- What is that? A coincidence?
- Fine. I like that she flirted.
661
00:39:48,469 --> 00:39:50,739
Is that what we're doing now?
Policing each other's minds?
662
00:39:50,763 --> 00:39:53,391
- Are we not allowed to have a fantasy?
- Don't give me that.
663
00:39:53,474 --> 00:39:56,519
There's nothing simple about it
when somebody gets stuck in your mind.
664
00:39:56,602 --> 00:39:58,747
- I don't care if you fucked her.
- Sounds like you care.
665
00:39:58,771 --> 00:40:00,022
Are you obsessed with her?
666
00:40:01,816 --> 00:40:03,317
- It's not like that.
- Really?
667
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:05,111
- Yeah.
- You sure?
668
00:40:05,194 --> 00:40:08,656
I'm sure. Because it was like that
with you, Love! I married you.
669
00:40:08,739 --> 00:40:11,419
The man I fell in love with would do
anything for the ones he loves.
670
00:40:11,492 --> 00:40:13,744
I still would. I moved here.
671
00:40:13,828 --> 00:40:17,123
We're in this fake, plastic suburban hell.
672
00:40:17,206 --> 00:40:21,544
- We moved here for the baby.
- He was supposed to be a girl.
673
00:40:22,878 --> 00:40:24,755
What does that fucking matter?
674
00:40:24,839 --> 00:40:27,383
I don't even... I... I don't... It doesn't.
675
00:40:27,466 --> 00:40:30,136
It feels so emblematic
of getting it wrong,
676
00:40:30,219 --> 00:40:33,514
of feeling like I am gonna
fuck him up. Like he knows.
677
00:40:33,597 --> 00:40:35,599
He looks at me like I'm a monster.
678
00:40:36,892 --> 00:40:38,352
How do you think I feel?
679
00:40:39,019 --> 00:40:42,731
You remember what Forty said.
Five seconds before he died.
680
00:40:44,692 --> 00:40:47,445
That I'd be crazy if I ever thought
I could be a good mother.
681
00:40:48,571 --> 00:40:50,656
Well, he was out of his mind.
682
00:40:53,367 --> 00:40:54,577
Maybe he wasn't.
683
00:40:59,331 --> 00:41:00,331
We...
684
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:03,126
both...
685
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:05,838
have done bad things.
686
00:41:08,716 --> 00:41:10,634
I wanted to move here so that...
687
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:13,137
we could start new...
688
00:41:14,013 --> 00:41:17,808
be safe and never have
to do anything bad ever again.
689
00:41:19,226 --> 00:41:20,519
We get to choose.
690
00:41:20,603 --> 00:41:22,605
We get to choose. We are safe now.
691
00:41:23,189 --> 00:41:24,189
We're together.
692
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:26,108
I promise, no more.
693
00:41:27,234 --> 00:41:30,946
No more bad things ever again, okay?
694
00:41:32,281 --> 00:41:34,658
While we're telling the truth,
695
00:41:34,742 --> 00:41:37,119
you are a great mother.
696
00:41:38,746 --> 00:41:39,746
Thanks.
697
00:41:45,002 --> 00:41:48,297
Does that mean
I can stop reading Sherry's shitty blog?
698
00:41:54,136 --> 00:41:56,263
There's still time to bond with him.
699
00:41:57,848 --> 00:42:01,477
Try reading him something
other than Fitzgerald. He is a baby.
700
00:42:04,438 --> 00:42:05,981
Yeah, I'll give it a shot.
701
00:42:10,819 --> 00:42:11,904
Should we go home?
702
00:42:12,988 --> 00:42:14,323
Yeah, let's go home.
703
00:42:27,586 --> 00:42:29,547
- Hey, are we okay?
- Hey.
704
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:31,507
- He's been great all night.
- Okay.
705
00:42:31,590 --> 00:42:34,927
Go get some rest. I got him.
Really. I got him. I got him.
706
00:42:35,010 --> 00:42:36,637
- Thank you, thank you.
- Good night.
707
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:38,406
- Thank you, thank you.
- I love you, Forty.
708
00:42:38,430 --> 00:42:39,431
Oh.
709
00:42:40,182 --> 00:42:41,517
You're okay, Henry.
710
00:42:43,060 --> 00:42:46,438
"Happily ever after" looks
a lot different than I thought.
711
00:42:51,986 --> 00:42:54,488
And a family, the reality of one,
712
00:42:54,572 --> 00:42:56,240
might not be for everyone...
713
00:42:57,992 --> 00:43:00,494
but it's all I've ever wanted.
714
00:43:01,662 --> 00:43:04,832
So I'm gonna make this work.
No matter what it takes.
715
00:43:09,545 --> 00:43:11,171
Goodbye, you.
716
00:43:24,768 --> 00:43:27,271
Nineteen bucks? It's crazy.
I'll give you 2 bucks.
717
00:43:27,354 --> 00:43:31,275
This isn't a pawnshop, sir.
We don't negotiate late fees.
718
00:43:31,358 --> 00:43:34,153
Manager. I wanna speak to a manager.
719
00:43:58,969 --> 00:44:00,346
Hi, Natalie.
720
00:44:02,097 --> 00:44:03,097
Yep.
721
00:44:03,766 --> 00:44:07,770
Yeah, I wanted to see that place
you were talking about for a bakery.
722
00:44:11,482 --> 00:44:12,482
Amazing.
723
00:44:13,150 --> 00:44:17,738
"But he could not think
of a story to tell Frog.
724
00:44:18,572 --> 00:44:19,448
Then...
725
00:44:19,531 --> 00:44:20,532
Uh...
726
00:44:21,283 --> 00:44:24,703
Toad poured a glass of water
over his head."
727
00:44:28,957 --> 00:44:31,960
Am I the asshole here?
I'm sorry. That's a bad word.
728
00:44:33,587 --> 00:44:34,588
Is it me?
729
00:44:37,341 --> 00:44:38,550
I'm trying.
730
00:44:40,511 --> 00:44:42,346
I'm in over my head.
731
00:44:43,055 --> 00:44:45,933
He said, using an idiom
his son will never understand
732
00:44:46,016 --> 00:44:48,435
because it's impossible
to communicate with babies.
733
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:51,897
Yeah, right. Exactly.
734
00:45:01,198 --> 00:45:03,325
How are we supposed
to understand each other?
735
00:45:05,077 --> 00:45:07,162
How am I supposed to do this right?
736
00:45:09,164 --> 00:45:11,125
I wanna do this right, Forty...
737
00:45:11,208 --> 00:45:12,835
Henry. Henry.
738
00:45:12,918 --> 00:45:13,919
Henry, you see?
739
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,755
You're getting into my head.
740
00:45:21,093 --> 00:45:22,970
I'm gonna do everything I can.
741
00:45:26,473 --> 00:45:29,101
I just don't know what that means yet.
742
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:30,727
I...
743
00:45:41,822 --> 00:45:43,782
So wait, you don't hate me?
744
00:45:49,747 --> 00:45:51,749
Yeah, same here.
745
00:45:52,624 --> 00:45:53,625
Same here.
746
00:45:54,209 --> 00:45:55,919
Okay. Yeah, it's a good talk.
747
00:45:57,629 --> 00:45:59,131
Yeah, let's keep reading.
748
00:46:00,174 --> 00:46:01,174
Uh...
749
00:46:01,633 --> 00:46:04,136
"'Why are you pouring water
over your head?' asked Frog.
750
00:46:05,596 --> 00:46:10,309
'I hope that if I pour water over my head,
it will help me to think of a story.'"
751
00:46:18,358 --> 00:46:19,610
It's cute, right?
752
00:46:19,693 --> 00:46:22,154
Build-out's already mostly done for you.
753
00:46:25,866 --> 00:46:28,952
And the tenant left all the appliances?
754
00:46:29,787 --> 00:46:31,121
Kind of had to.
755
00:46:31,872 --> 00:46:33,290
Look, I'm not gonna lie.
756
00:46:33,373 --> 00:46:36,043
This town isn't exactly
the easiest market.
757
00:46:36,126 --> 00:46:38,086
Your stuff has to be good.
758
00:46:38,629 --> 00:46:41,548
- That, I'm not worried about.
- Then nothing to worry about.
759
00:46:42,382 --> 00:46:44,718
Except landlord has another offer.
760
00:46:45,969 --> 00:46:51,016
But he loves me, so sign
a 3-year lease today and you're golden.
761
00:46:52,726 --> 00:46:55,062
I already sent you papers to e-sign.
762
00:46:58,690 --> 00:47:02,069
- Can I...? Can I see downstairs?
- Yeah, let's go.
763
00:47:31,974 --> 00:47:34,268
Okay, so I know how it looks,
764
00:47:34,351 --> 00:47:37,145
but I was told this is
the best walk-in freezer on the market.
765
00:47:39,022 --> 00:47:40,816
Let me show you the other storage room.
766
00:47:55,622 --> 00:47:56,915
Permits are easy.
767
00:47:56,999 --> 00:48:00,085
So you can have
this place up and running crazy fast.
768
00:48:43,712 --> 00:48:47,883
Bottom line, in the right hands,
this place could be a raging success.
769
00:48:47,966 --> 00:48:50,469
So, what do you think?
770
00:48:54,932 --> 00:48:56,642
This is just the beginning, Henry.
771
00:48:56,725 --> 00:48:59,645
Frog and Toad are great. But wait
until you meet Pippi Longstocking.
772
00:48:59,728 --> 00:49:01,331
You'll freak out.
773
00:49:01,355 --> 00:49:03,148
I'm just leaving the library. What's up?
774
00:49:06,944 --> 00:49:08,946
Hey, Love. You okay?
775
00:49:09,947 --> 00:49:12,491
Um, Joe.
776
00:49:13,742 --> 00:49:14,868
What's wrong?
777
00:49:15,369 --> 00:49:17,412
I think we need to go to couples' therapy.
