Overcompensating

- Slutslayer?

- Oh, sh*t. Are you any good?

- Are you kidding?

- Carmen.

My name is TatianaDelRey.

Everything I do

revolves around you.

I don't think we

should be together.

- Would you come over?

- What would we do if I came over?

- You're really special.

- So are you.

You can at least say hi.

- I'm gonna go for it with Miles.

- Is your roommate still out of town?

Can we use the room?

Hello, old sport.

Everything and nothing

always haunts me ♪

My favorite uncle was g*y.

Cool.

Give him my best.

And you know, I don't even know

- if I officially am, you know

- Mm-hmm.

Like maybe I'm just

attracted to the person?

- Mmm.

- Like maybe it's j it's just Miles.

He is hot enough for that.

But we don't know that

he's definitely straight.

You know? He could have just

been doing with that girl

what I was doing with you where it's

kind of a Hail Mary and, you know,

just to, like, see if

maybe you you are

- What do you think?

- I think it's a classic

is he g*y or is he just British?

- Classic.

- But, wait, all of this

is why you lied about

- Titty-f*cking. Yeah.

- Mmm.

I was just confused.

And I wanted to tell you,

I really did, but I just

I don't even really

know what I am. So

Okay, let's take

this step by step.

Have you ever

kissed a guy before?

No.

- Never.

- Well then there you go.

Let's find a guy for you to kiss

- and see if you like it.

- No. But Miles is the guy I wanna kiss.

Although I am dressed like

a slutty Boy Scout and

- His idea, by the way. And nothing, so

- Mmm.

Safe to assume I'm not his type.

Okay, well, good news

on that bad news.

Benny, I'm your girl.

As someone that's had to get over

many a guy that was not interested,

trust me, hooking up with

someone is the second step.

Okay. What's the first?

Denial.

So whatever happened

with Miles, gone.

Done. Dead to us.

I want that. Give me that.

You're in good hands with me,

Benny. I'm kind of a professional.

- Okay.

- You're gonna kiss a guy.

Maybe.

Okay, well, um

I better go. I'm sorry.

Thank you, Carmen.

Of course.

Wait, we didn't talk

about your stuff.

Oh. Oh, my God.

- No, it's so not important and

- No, but what's going on?

Uh, nothing. Nothing. Truly.

Okay.

Yo, can you talk?

Being an ally to a g*y guy

who you sort of hooked up with

once but just came out to you.

- Awesome. All right.

- Me too.

And I will go.

- Text me when you get home.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Okay.

- Okay then.

- Perfect timing, Benny.

- Oh, hey.

Uh, thanks for letting

us, you know

- Yeah, man. All good.

- Yeah.

Uh, do you wanna chill later?

I was kind of thinking of some

film festival ideas and

- Definitely.

- Cool.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Sweet.

- See you, Clark.

- See you.

Yo.

You whack off into condoms too?

I'm on the edge of glory ♪

And I'm hanging on

a moment of truth ♪

Hi, Professor. Um.

I don't know if I belong

in the business program.

I just feel like I'm

really, really bad at it.

Oh?

This is my first B, like, ever.

Um, so I think it's a good

sign that I should drop.

Oh.

Listen, a B is good.

Over half these students

would literally pay for a B.

Some of their

parents even tried.

Is there something

else going on?

No.

No.

I don't care.

- Hi. There's my GBF.

- Hey.

- What?

- g*y best friend.

- Oh.

- Okay,

I've been doing some

extensive research,

and I'm not gonna let you

go over to some guy's place

and only be prepared for a kiss

when there's a chance you

will probably want to do more,

and he almost definitely will.

Okay? So we have

work to do, "gayby."

- "Gayby"?

- g*y baby.

Okay, we have a lot to cover if we're

gonna pop your h*m* kiss cherry.

And I think the most obvious

first, uh, thing

douching your butthole.

- That's the first thing?

- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

- That's good. How'd you think of those?

- Thanks.

- Let's go, Benny.

- Okay.

Are you ready?

No.

- I am with you all the way.

- Okay.

Prefs. Bears? Twinks?

I-I don't know. Um

Hailee's not gonna

walk in on this, right?

No, she has mono.

I heard that's going

around. It's really bad.

Well, she's patient zero.

She knew she had it, and she gave it

to ten guys at the Halloween party.

- Love wins.

- Mmm. Okay.

- Yeah.

- Top or bottom?

I-I don't know yet.

It's vers, okay. Daddy or boy?

It feels really weird

to say boy, so daddy.

Perfect. We're in.

- Swipe.

- Okay.

Oh, my God, it's f*cking George.

No, f*cking delete

that right now.

- Right now. It's not funny.

- Okay. Okay. Bossy bottom.

Why don't we put you on

Grindr? On incognito mode?

You don't even have to put a photo.

It's good for dipping your toes in.

How do you know all this?

I couldn't sleep last night and

just needed something to focus on.

Benny, I'm a f*g hag now.

I don't think you can say that.

Come on. Flex. Flex.

Your n*pples. They're not gonna

swipe for soft n*pples, Benny.

- This is Pride?

- This is when gays invented the parade.

We're gonna need to get you angel

wings, tube socks and a harness.

- Poppers.

- Okay.

No, no, no. No one's gonna

know you're g*y with that walk.

You gotta signal.

g*y signal. g*y signal.

It's in the neck.

It's in the hips.

She was really good.

f*ck Ross Mathews.

Sashay away.

Sashay away.

Oh!

I wouldn't quit him either.

I'm Michelle Williams in this.

Was that it?

- Yeah. Wanna do it again?

- Yeah.

Yeah, you f*cking twink.

What the f*ck?

Research.

Come on the floor, baby.

Okay.

Oh, hey. Actually, I would

love to ask you a few Q's.

- More research?

- Um, for a friend

who thinks he might be

g*y. I'm helping him.

I'm his f*g hag.

Yeah, sorry, can I not say that?

No, you should say that. Mm-hmm.

Also, did you know that

no one died at Stonewall?

- Yeah?

- Crazy!

Okay, so I have this friend

who shall remain nameless

- Benny.

- No. What?

Oh, my God. Definitely not.

No. He's not

He's actually, um

He's rumored to have

to have titty-f*cked me.

Well, when definitely-not-Benny

wants to talk about being

g*y, he can reach out to me.

Right. But it's not Benny.

No, of course. You said that.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, everything okay?

Free in an hour?

It's a date!

It's a Grindr date!

Wait, but, uh, we didn't

post that profile yet.

You know, it is

possible that we did.

But there's no face pics

so nobody knows it's you.

And he's so cute. Or at

least his abs and d*ck are.

I've been texting

as you. Very Cyrano.

And if you're open,

he's ready to meet with you at

his place off campus in one hour.

Okay, show me.

Oh. Oh.

Oh, my God. Okay.

That's impressive.

So I can say you'll be there?

No. Um

I don't know. Um

- Yes. Yes! What the f*ck?

- Yes! Whoo!

- It's so fun!

- Okay. Should I get ready?

- Yeah, you should get ready.

- Okay, yeah.

- For my date.

- For your date.

- With a guy. What the f*ck? Okay.

- With a guy!

Wow, I might throw up.

- "Condragulations," Benny.

- Thanks, Carm.

And maybe we watch just,

like, a little less Drag Race.

Noted.

- I'll text you after.

- You better.

If he doesn't k*ll me.

Okay. Bye, you.

Oh, my f*cking God.

Hi, Megan.

Hi, Benny, you definitely

heterosexual stud.

I think it's time.

Benny, wait. Are you sure?

Because that's a really big step

and you can't unring that bell.

- Uh.

- Should we try one more time?

Yeah. Yeah.

- Let's see.

- Yeah. Okay.

No.

- Nothing?

- It's awesome.

It's-It's so fun, but, um, yeah.

"Condragulations," Benny.

I am so supportive

and I am so, so proud.

Thank you so much, Megan Fox.

I'll love you forever.

Love you.

Don't be nervous.

- Benny?

- Nothing, I'm walking.

- Me too.

- Okay.

- Fine. Bye.

- Bye.

Benny, hi. What are you up to?

- Were you looking for me?

- No. Um, I have to go.

Hey, a B is good.

Not you, Mom.

Benny!

Bento. Sup, man?

Ooh. Jesus.

Blam, brother.

- Oh, blam.

- Hey, Benito, wanna go for a drink?

- Benny, hey.

- Oh.

- Have you been screening my texts?

- Um, no, I'm just

I'm super late for

something. Sorry, I gotta go.

Wait. Where are you going?

Oh, my God.

God, you are so cute.

Oh. So are you.

Benny, right?

- Yeah.

- It's a good fake name.

It's not, um

Why are you so nervous?

You're, like, sweating a lot.

Oh, yeah. I may be

sweaty but I douched.

Oh. Okay.

I didn't bring lube.

Oh, that's okay.

- Whoa.

- I don't know if I'm a top or bottom,

- Daddy.

- Okay.

You have to slow down. You're

starting to freak me out a bit.

Oh. Okay. Yeah.

- Yeah.

- It's okay. Thank you for the feedback.

You were so sweet on the apps.

Yeah, um

That wasn't me.

It was my friend.

She's, uh, helping

me get over a guy.

Aw, you sweet little "gayby."

Let me guess, it's

your first crush?

Yeah.

- It's awful.

- Mmm.

I remember my first crush.

- Davis.

- Miles.

Miles Davis.

God, I remember those

feelings so well.

Just, like, all you

want is to be held,

but you don't know if he is

- whatever, and you're scared to ask.

- Yes, exactly.

Yeah.

What happened with Davis?

Well, we fell in

love and got married.

- Davis!

- Oh, the girls were good tonight

and took all their medicine.

Oh. Hello.

Girls? You have kids?

Yeah, we have two Frenchies.

- Should I go?

- No.

No, no, no, no, no. We, um

We play together. We're open.

So this isn't cheating.

- We're both in on it.

- And there are rules.

Like we can f*ck whoever we want

when the other's out of town,

but the other person can't

know who the person is.

And we can never f*ck the same

person unless we're together.

And if we do f*ck separately,

it just can't be in this house.

Or a nice hotel.

- It should be a Hyatt.

- Or worse.

And we can never talk about the

sex unless the other person asks,

and then we have to be

very honest. Brutally.

That really saved

our relationship.

Well, he doesn't

need to know that.

No, but I guess I didn't need

to know that he was here.

I'm sorry about

him. He can be so

So what? No, no, no.

Enlighten me, Jered.

What can I be so

- The f*cking carpet!

- Our marriage is falling apart,

but you're worried

about the carpet!

I think you guys are just

having a communication issue.

Seems like you, uh,

really love each other.

Oh, what are you, a

f*cking therapist now?

Shut the f*ck up, closet case.

- You think you're so cute.

- He does.

- He does.

- Get the f*ck out of our townhouse.

Yeah.

God, I love when you

give dom-top daddy boots.

Yeah?

You like when Daddy

act a damn fool?

I f*cking love it when

my daddy acts a fool.

God, I'm the dumbest

bottom in the world.

You're so dumb, I bet you

don't even know how to read.

I can't read. I never learned.

- Open your mouth, I'm gonna spit in it.

- Ah.

Okay, guys, take care.

- I'm rooting for you.

- Why the f*ck is he still here?

Get out!

- No. Come on the Jonathan Adler rug.

- Yeah?

- Come on the rug.

- I bet that will help.

Yeah. The acidity.

Okay, so, I think I might be bi.

Like, just barely bi.

So is this the end of

operation kiss a guy?

- Maybe for now.

- Mmm.

Like, try it with a

girl one more time.

Wait, I may know just

the girl for you.

Awesome.

Yeah. I just, um, I have

to do one thing first.

Oh, you want me to go with you?

I'm good.

No, it's not. Can

we please talk?

N-No, no, no. No,

no, no, no, no, no.

So every single pledge

has a slide in here?

Yeah. For example, this guy,

he was a big nah from me

'cause he's on financial aid.

It just, like, stresses me out.

This guy's an Android user.

- Oh, my God.

- Yeah.

Wait. Who sees this?

Just the other committee guys.

Honestly, you shouldn't even

be seeing this right now.

We take it very seriously.

It's how we decide

who's in and who's out.

Well, that b*tch is

definitely not in.

Right?

We'll see.

What about him?

- He had huge n*pples.

- Ew.

This guy had a thumb ring.

- This is fun.

- Yeah.

Should we

- It's been like a week.

- Yeah, I know, it's just

Ah! Later, okay?

All right.

- Okay.

- Back to business.

Mmm, yeah.

And I know what you're thinking,

that he probably stopped

because he couldn't get hard,

but I really, really, really

don't think that's why.

He's been so attentive since the break,

and actually asking me questions,

which he never did

before, so I'm like,

- "Should I just have told him how I"

- Enough.

I never wanted to have a f*cking

stroke so bad in my life.

- You b*tch.

- When you f*ck,

this Peter makes

you come, right?

- Oh

- That's a no.

I mean I have come

with him, like, nearby.

Look, I'm old.

I don't have much time left, so

I'm just gonna cut right to it.

Peter is a loser.

He can't get hard.

He treats you like

you're nothing.

Even I can do better than that.

Why is it you think you can't?

- I just can't.

- Oh, sweetheart.

Yes, you can. Trust me.

You're funny. You're hot.

Your t*ts are for sh*t, but

Uh, Riley. Come over here.

What now, Janet?

Aw, Riley.

You know that's a girl's name?

Yeah, you mentioned that.

You remember Grace, right?

Yeah. Of course. Hi, Grace.

- Hi.

- You'd take her out on a date, right?

Janet!

And not in a sympathy f*ck way.

Anytime.

- See?

- Well, thank you.

And f*ck you. I

actually have to go.

I need a nap anyway.

Your boyfriend stories

are stronger than Ambien.

Well, don't die in your sleep.

Ah, I do love you, kid.

No h*m*.

Love you too.

I'm really sorry about that.

Sorry about what?

I told her like three weeks

ago I wanted your number.

You did?

Yeah.

I did.

- Should we get mocktails sometime?

- No.

"Tatiana, in Berlin,

waiting for you."

Hey, h*m*. You sh*t

in her mouth yet?

Do you have parents?

I guess that's a no. What

happened? She dump your fairy a*s?

No, no. It's just

It's kind of a

f*cked-up situation.

She's a freshman, Terry.

It's just not a good look.

Please tell me

you're her teacher.

Jesus, I'm a f*cking senior.

It's like a victory

lap year, you know?

You can f*ck a freshman

but you can't date one.

It's complicated. Why

am I talking to you?

Besides, my girlfriend, she's,

like, a total smokeshow.

Like, legit ten.

Send a titty pic.

Nah, but why can I have sex with the

girl I'm not supposed to be with,

but I can't have sex with

the one I should be with?

It ain't that deep. Just get some

pharmaceutical help and f*ck 'em both.

Terry6969,

you're a f*cking genius.

Don't be g*y.

I was doing some

research online,

and they were saying it could

be a generational thing.

Like, porn has ruined

the real stuff for us.

And, yeah, I'll admit Pornhub and video

games certainly have me all desensitized.

Like, when I was in high school, I

only jacked off to Family Guy porn.

It was funny. I

actually heard

there was some kind of pill

that helps with getting erections.

I-I don't know,

like, is that true?

I think I need something.

I think I need help.

Like Viagra?

Are you literally trying to pretend

you're not sure if Viagra's a thing?

Viagra, um

- I

- What? Vi Oh, yeah.

Um. Sure, that would that

would be great if that's possible.

You should know, by the way,

your antidepressants can

cause erectile dysfunction.

Don't go off them or anything.

It can cause some issues with

depression return and impulse control.

Would it be possible

to get a sample pill?

- Okay.

- Great.

Oh, yeah.

And you've never taken

this medication before?

- No.

- Okay.

I'm gonna need your date of

birth, then press accept.

- Okay.

- Okay. Just enter your date of birth,

initial.

Then sign with

your date of birth.

- Yo.

- Peter.

Oh um, mono's going around.

Yeah, so I'm just

getting checked.

- sh*t.

- What, uh What are you doing here?

- I gotta run, Benny B Ben Be

- Oh, okay.

"Bennie and the Jets." I'll see

you later. I'll see you tonight.

You like my pretty kitty?

Yeah, I love it.

My kitty is meowing for you.

You love it when she purrs?

Meow!

Why Viagra not working?

This kitty has claws.

"You must be aroused

for Viagra to work."

You were the only

two deemed worthy.

Now, to accept,

from the golden d*ck of Ra.

Okay. Yeah.

Here we go. Wait. Hold

I'm not f*cking joking.

It's an expensive garment.

It's dry cleaning only. It's

a f*cking pain in the a*s.

Now, suck!

Okay.

I'm thinking of you.

Oh, sh*t. Hey.

Um

I'm, uh, glad you're

f*ck you.

- What?

- I told you about my family.

I played Slutslayer with

you, which is sacred.

We had sex.

And I dressed up

as Tatiana for you,

and you made me feel

like a a f*cking fool.

Sorry. It's this weird time in fall

where it's cold, but then it's hot

Look, is this 'cause you

didn't get into Flesh & Gold?

So, I didn't? Oh.

f*ck it. I don't care.

But I do care that you

treated me like I was nothing.

I'm not.

You are.

You're a toxic f*cking gaslighter

with no future prospects.

You're peaking. But I'm

only just getting started.

What about this is making

you hard right now?

Oh. f*ck! sh*t.

Jesus Christ.

God. f*ck this sh

So, so, so good.

- Yeah.

- Really, really good.

Oh, I'm just gonna

Happy we're back.

Yeah.

- Come here.

- Uh, I'm gonna shower actually. So

Okay.

f*cking liar.

Game over.

Hey, babe, I'm gonna go smoke.

and I only came once. Also,

I'm unfriending you. Sashay away.

Yo, my dad just closed on a

condo for me in Murray Hill.

- Yo! That's what I'm talking about.

- Yeah, dog. Yeah.

Hi! I have six packs of

Magnum condoms and corn dogs?

Yeah, thanks, bro.

Five stars!

Magnums, dude?

That's sick. Tell me

more about your place.

Oh, man. It's tight. It's two

blocks away from Hawksworth.

You know, this is the

f*cking life, dog.

You'll get it too. Everybody does, but

well, everybody, but not Pete, you know?

Do you know what I mean?

g*dd*mn it. Not him.

- You gonna break up with Bridget?

- f*ck this place.

Yeah, yeah.

They're all a bunch

of f*cking losers.

And then what happened?

I was, like, rock hard from

Viagra, but also really upset.

I just wanted to get over Miles,

and instead I'm watching him

suck beer out of a

f*cking gold d*ck.

- Kinda awful, kinda hot.

- Exactly. Yeah.

So, I started to have a full

panic attack in the quad.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

I couldn't even kiss a guy,

or a guy and his husband.

So, instead, I ate a kitty.

But then I thought,

"Okay, Carmen said someone else

was how I'd get over Miles.

And I know someone who's himself, and

maybe that's contagious, you know."

I mean, if I can't kiss a guy yet, maybe,

for once in my life, I can just do

less.

Hi, I'm Benny.

I know.

I know.

We should hang out some time.

Sure.

- And I'm George.

- I know.

Bye, Benny.

- f*ck! Oh, that's so great.

- Mm-hmm.

Why'd you do all this?

All what?

I don't know.

'Cause I wanted to.

I don't think I'm bi.

I'm probably just

Well, now we can both enjoy

the highs and lows

of f*cking men.

I love that for us.

Yeah. Scary.

- Emily f*cked a g*y guy. Ooh!

- Oh, my God.

I don't know what to call

whatever the f*ck that was.

So

I didn't get into Flesh & Gold.

sh*t.

- It's cool.

- No, f*ck those guys. I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry if I pushed

you too hard too fast.

You know how I was saying

the quickest way to get over

someone is to focus on someone else?

I think I may have been doing

that with you and Grindr guy.

Oh.

Who were you getting over?

I f*cked Peter.

f*ck this place.

Everyone's gonna

read these slides.

I'm sorry if it hurts ♪

Floatin' in an atmosphere

hiding from the truth in fear ♪

Slowly we both disappeared

now it seems so crystal clear ♪

So in denial ♪

Oh, yeah ♪

You never really listen ♪

And when I'm gone a

part of you is missing ♪

I know it's complicated

letting go of feelings ♪

I really hope that

you'll forgive me one day ♪

I'm sorry if I hurt you ♪

I'm sorry if it hurts ♪

Oh, ooh ♪
