02x02 - Sort of 2gether

[bunniefuu]

The whole reason my
dad's coming home

is 'cause he's freaked about me,
and that's gonna like

mess with my
new vibes.

Aqsa, please take dishes,
okay?

Deenzie:
I didn't pay rent.

We didn't get our
liquor license renewed.

The doors close
or I go to jail.

Who's that?

Oh my god, is that Wolf?

Are you Wolf?
—Nice meeting you.

Bessy: You know, when
I woke up for a second

I saw Paul and I was like,

"I married a dude?"

You know she's gonna be
at rehab for a while.

No, this is-this is
just, uh, for when,

you know, they say
she can come home.

So FYI, your rent
cheque bounced.

Can't talk right
now but will. Byeeeee!

Imran: Together we give
your mother her open concept.

Father and son.

It's just that I'm like
super busy right now,

so I'm not sure that I can
accept your, um, job offer.

Bessy: What's going
on with what's-her-face?

Oleander.
-Olympia.

I embarrassingly
jump at the chance

to like hang out with
her whenever she's free,

which I know is bad,

but it's what I want.

Hey.
-What?

Nothing.

[gasping]

Oh my god, so fun.

Totally [sighs].

[slow electronic music]

I gotta go.

Oh, um [chuckles], already?

Olympia:
Yep.

[slow electronic music]

[sighing]

Hey, is it okay if I
start introducing you

to people as my,
um, manicurist?

I don't know if I'm
ready for that.

I know, right?
It's a big responsibility.

I like my nails.

Not too long,
pretty and functional.

How I hope to be one day.

Except I forgot the
most blingy part.

Bling?

I thought you had to go.

I always have
time for bling.

Okay.

[slow electronic music]

S-so you're going
to work, or?

No.

[slow electronic music]

You're so fun.

You're so fun.

Um, hey, so,

7ven and I are going to
some club tonight and-

Oh my god, I'm so there.

[muffled heart thumping]

♪ Ooh angel you ♪

Hm, that's good.

Saffron?

Mmhmm.

You're trying to turn
this house into a circus.

Orange walls,
untamed children.

You asked for
my opinion.

You don't want it,
don't ask.

Hiiiiii.

[soft electronic music]

Raffo:
Hi, my jaanu.

I thought you were
too busy to help me.

I changed my mind.

It's tuna casserole.

The kids made it for you.

Because it's
your favourite.

This is my favourite?
Of all the foods?

Heh.

Dr. Gutierrez

said this could
absolutely happen.

She predicted I'd be grossed out
by tuna casserole?

No, she said things
could feel strange.

For you.

Things you like
you might not.

For instance,
the tuna casserole.

I'm gonna have to eat
some of this, aren't 1?

The kids made it for you.

Okay.

[upbeat funky music]

Imran: Nobody
heads ba*ls like you.

We are talking about
soccer, right?

You were like Sunil Chhetri.

You remember?

He positioned himself
perfectly for the ball,

then he leapt up and headed
the ball slightly to his side.

Very good form...

passing it to
that Chinese boy.

Walter Jeong, I think
you're talking about.

He was Korean.

Changed the game.

Sabi: Um, okay, so I think
we could probably rip out

this drywall sooner
rather than later

so access to all this
wiring will be super easy.

[Bessy giggling]

Sabi: Right?
-Oh hey, Sabi.

Hey.

What's up?

You said you wanted a blanket.
Do-do you still want one?

Oh yeah. Yes.

Okay.

I can do that,
thank you.

Paul:
Okay, well, let me just-

No, it's all right,
I can do it just- Paul, just leave it!

I'm just gonna give-
—Paul!

We're-we're breaking up.

Um...

Bessy:
Paul and I are breaking up.

We're breaking up.
I thought Sabi should know.

Paul: The psychologist
laid this out.

Potential for
egocentric behaviour,

lack of empathy

and short term memory.

Oh wow.

She broke up with me
three times today.

Oh wooooow.

First time she called
me "Dan the Man".

Who's Dan?

Right?

I'm sorry you've had
to go through that

like over and over.

Have a good night.

Sabi: Thanks, you too.
Paul: You too.

Paul: I'm gonna go
grab stuff for dinner.

You wanna come over?

Sabi:
Mmmmm, no.

Paul:
You got any plans tonight?

Yep [sighs].

Hey, so I have some, like,

unsolicited opinion
slash advice.

Can I give it?

[mellow music]

Of course.

Um, even, even though the
doctor said what they said,

and even though
it's gonna hurt,

I feel like you,

or like "we",

but like you, um, have to
take her reality seriously

in order for her to
feel, like, okay.

For now. You know?

It-it'll probably
ride itself out.

-Hmm.

I'll be home very

Got it.

Can we just talk
about Dad for a sec?

I would love not to.

Mom says he thinks
that you are "untamed".

Right? I'm so "wild".

Okay, |I'm trying to understand
what your plan is here.

My plan?

With Dad.

I don't know, um,
like, exist.

Well, while you're existing,

I have to deal with him
dealing with you existing.

Um, I'm sorry,

how you deal with Dad is,
like, completely up to you.

Okay, well is
it also up to me

to deal with you
not paying rent?

What are we talking
about here?

Dad or rent?

Or just like,

all the ways in which I
generally disappoint you?

Oh no, please,

I love handling any
and all fall-out

from Sabi's
oh so hard life,

'cause apparently I
don't exist at all!

I don't know what to do.

Just-just-just tell me
what to do and I'll do it.

I don't know.

Are the nails necessary
when you go there?

♪ And I burn, burn, burn,
burn, burn, burn, baby ♪

I love my nails.

[upbeat dance music]
[group laughing]

Sorry!

Excuse me! Sorry!

Reckless!

Loving the nails.

Right? Olympia did them.

It's cute the way she's
putting her little stamp on you.

Everyone needs a sensei.

She's not my sensei.

What is she then?

Why do we have
to define it?

Ah, now you're
speaking my language.

[phone "wolf whistle" sound]
[upbeat dance music]

Ooh, somebody
wants me in them.

[moans]

Have you
been on NONBI?

It's a dating app.

You already asked me this. No.

And also if you're like
in true love with Arrow,

then why do you
need more NONBI?

Arrow understands
because they're famous.

Some people have a desire

to be wanted by
everyone constantly.

And with technology
that could be sustained.

If Arrow's famous then
why are we in line?

Influencer, then.

Of the internets
and my heart.

I'd rather meet humans

the way we've always
met each other.

Fighting for resources?

Better than getting
swiped by randos.

Where's Olympia at anyway?

[phone chimes]
Oh, Arrow's coming!

Oh my god! Oh my god!
How do I look?

Phenom, right?

Right? Right?

It's too late to text them.

Hey.

Oh, hi.

I was just gonna
knock on your door.

Violet:
Oh, what's up?

Are you okay with
holding down the fort

for an hour or so?

Where you going?

I'm just gonna bring
Mom something.

Is she okay?

Yeah, she's totally fine.

Just gonna bring
her little present.

Okay, yeah.

Bye.

[upbeat music]

And then she just like
dropped the b*mb,

"Paul and I are
breaking up."

Wow.

It was next level.

Like filter free.

She was like Jim Carrey
in "Liar Liar".

[upbeat music]
[background chatter]

What's your face doing?

What do you mean?

You look excited.

I'm not. It was sad.

The honesty was
kinda thrilling,

but also disturbing,

like seeing someone poo.

That's f*cked.

You're f*cked.

Because of the
pooing analogy?

You're being cynical about a
hetero-normative partnership

and not taking to
account that literally

everyone requires different
conditions to be happy.

Club-goer:
Hey, Arrow!

Oh, there they are!

Ahhhh, look how
gorgeous you are!

How hot are they?

Hiiii.
-This is my bestie, Sabi.

Does Arrow look familiar?
-Um...

'Cause they have tons of
followers on various sosches.

I do online interviews,

influencer networking,
IG modeling.

It's like high-key hard,
but so worth it.

I love making a
contribution to the world.
