Damn, bro.

ERIC: Dude, wait.

Yo... just, like, open your eyes
as wide as you can.

Open... open 'em
as wide as you can.

I'm trying.

- [laughter]
- What the fuck?

JOEY: Look at this guy.

Wait, so y'all are... y'all
are roommates?

- RYAN: Yeah.
- ERIC: Yeah.

- JOEY: Where are you from?
- ERIC: Houston.

JOEY: Oh, word.
We got a lot of Houston boys

up in here.
ERIC: Hmm?

JOEY: Yep.

Lizards are... crazy, man.

It's like a dragon
or some shit.

CODY: That's fucking Caspian.

He is my emotional support
animal.

- [snorts]
- Don't fucking laugh, bro.

MAN: Oh, no, no, no.

CODY: That lizard knows me

better than anybody, man.

I've had him for, like,
13 years.

MAN: I don't need to tell you
Omega's the only frat

you should even be considering
rushing right?

- CODY: Preach.
- My brothers always got

my back.
I know that shit in my heart.

It's Omega Kappa Beta
for life, baby.

And you know panties
always drop for the Omega.

CODY: Ay!
JOEY: All right, all right.

Yo, shut the fuck up.
Okay, okay.

All right, you're not
gonna sit here, man,

and fucking smoke my weed
and drink my booze

without telling me about you
banging your teacher, man.

What?

You didn't think
I wasn't gonna tell him that

a fucking legend was pledging?

- Come on.
Okay, Let me... let me

get this straight.
You nailed a hot...

- Mm, the hottest.
- The fucking hottest teacher

while you were her student?

You hooked up
with your teacher?

Yes, bro, like,
multiple times,

and then... bang...
sent her ass to jail,

like a fucking a savage.

RYAN: Holy shit.

JOEY: Yeah, bro, didn't she,
like, suck you off

in the janitors' closet
or something?

RYAN: How old was she?
JOEY: She got perky tits?

Perky tits or, like,
older titties?

- You know, titties taking a nap.
- [trills tongue]

- [laughter]
- Come on, bro. Come on, man.

You gotta give us some details,
bro.

We're starving, man.

- No, man, come on.
I'm good.

CODY: This is the best shit
I've ever heard in my life.

MAN: I bow down to you, bro.

CODY: Dude, we all
bow down to you, Eric.

Come on, it's fucking awesome.

- Just enlighten me, man.
Okay?

Did she have, like,
a full... full bush

or just, like, a little
itty-bitty landing strip?

MAN: Shit, yes, that.
CODY: All right, just cool it.

Yo, chill. Chill.
He doesn't wanna

answer the question.
Leave him alone.

Maybe he does.
Maybe he does.

Landing strip.

[all shouting excitedly]
JOEY: God!

Some real Omega shit,
right there, y'all.

CODY: Are you kidding me?
MAN: He's a psycho, man.

MAN: You're a champ.

He's a champ.
CODY: Get in there, bro.

MAN: Do it, man.
Hell yeah.

JOEY: Yes!

Oh, my God!

[moans]

[inhales sharply]

No way.

[panting]

What?

Shut up.

- No, what?
Tell me.

- [sighs]
- It's fucking astounding.

That's what.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, amazing.

[both panting]
Okay, just give me a second.

And then... just you wait,
mister.

[both chuckle]

How's that?

Yeah, it's nice.

WOMAN: I know who you are.

Yeah.
My name's Eric.

I told you at the party.

WOMAN: No.
[laughs]

No, I mean,

I know about
you and your teacher.

I went to Mayfield,
and it was, like,

a huge deal there.

I saw you at the party,
and I was like,

"Holy shit, it's him."

[exhales sharply]

Did she teach you to do
what you just did?

[softly]
Yeah.

Yeah.

She taught me
a whole lot of other stuff too.

You wanna see?

[indistinct chatter]

Thank you.

All right.
ERIC: Hell yeah.

CODY: Yeah, buddy.
[Eric laughs]

Little hair of the dog.

Cheers to a great night.

Mm, so I don't think
Logan's gonna rush at Cornell.

ERIC: What?

I guess they made him
crawl around

on all fours in front of
the Delta Phi girls,

and he fucking cried.

- ERIC: Oh, my God.
- [Cody laughs]

He called me last night.

He tried to play it off
all cool, like,

"Yeah, you know,
I just decided that

I'm not really that into it
anymore."

[laughs]

You talk to him lately?

No.
[clears throat]

No, not since school started.

CODY: Oh, shit.

Well, you should call him,
you know,

set his ass straight.

- Oh, for sure.
- This brisket's so good.

Hey, so you and that teacher,
you guys stay in touch?

- Nah.
- CODY: No?

It's fuc ked up how hard
they came down on her, man.

You know, it's not like she...
I don't know.

It's not like she, like,
took advantage of you

or some shit.

That's what I said.

You know,
it's what I've been saying.

CODY: Yeah, you know,
plus, I met her.

She was... she was cool,
you know.

So what?
She's a little older than you.

You liked her.
She liked you.

It's not a fucking crime.

They got her sitting
in, like, some

federal prison or some shit?

County jail.

CODY: Oh, dude,
that's... that's fucked.

ERIC: Dude,
you don't even know.

[sniffs]

No, she had to take
a plea deal.

She might not had to have
gone in at all

if we hadn't... well, if...

if I hadn't convinced her to,
like, skip town

for just us.

Um, but... I don't know.
It was messed up, dude.

[sniffs]
So stupid, you know?

Like...

[clears throat]

Prosecutor came down
pretty hard on her.

So...

- [sniffs]
- Oh, you know, man,

you can't control
that kind of thing, man.

- You know?
- Yeah.

Like, people just wanna
worry about shit that...

that they shouldn't be
worrying about, you know?

- ERIC: Yeah.
- It's like... it's like,

"Worry about fucking Syria

or, like, dog meat in China,"
right?

ERIC: Yeah.
CODY: Puppy meat in China.

[Eric chuckles]
Fuck.

This shit...

Yeah.

Honestly, man, I just try
not to even think about it.

CODY: You want another beer?

- Yeah.
- CODY: Yeah?

- Yeah, thanks.
- CODY: Maybe two more beers?

[Eric laughs]
All right.

Grab two more of these.

MAN: All right.
CODY: Thank you.

So Cody's been looking out

Yeah.
He's been great, really has.

And he's gonna be

Awesome group of guys.

I'm glad things
are going so well.

Yeah, they really are.

You start going
to counseling?

- Eric?
- Mom, can you not?

Come on.
We talked about it.

You were gonna go
when school started.

They have a great
counseling program there,

and it's free.

I just think this isn't
something that

- you can do by yourself.
- I don't know how many times

I have to ask you to please,

please don't bring this up
anymore.

Please.

Sweetheart,
what happened to you is not

something that you can
just handle...

Look, I didn't go through
anything.

I...

I'm just gonna say one thing.

- Okay, Mom, look...
- SANDY: No, you just...

- listen to me.
- Look, I'm really okay.

- SANDY: I need you to know...
- It's not...

- SANDY: That I am here.
- I'm having a great time.

- Okay? I...
- And when she gets out,

you're gonna need somebody
to talk to.

W... what do you mean?

SANDY: Prosecutor called.

She's getting released
in a couple days.

Okay.
All right.

- Honey, I'm so...
- Okay. Jesus Christ.

Mom, look, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

You know what?
I actually gotta go, all right?

I've got a paper due
in the morning.

Eric, don't do that.
Come on, stay.

No.
I just... I gotta go.

I really gotta get back.

Thanks for dinner.

[insects chirping]

[engine rumbles in distance]

[knocking on door]

- Hey.
- ERIC: Hey.

Hey, come in.

I'm really glad you texted.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

I owe you an apology.

I told my friends
about us hooking up,

and they said it was
really insensitive of me

to bring up the whole
teacher-student thing.

- And...
- Oh, no.

- It... it... it's fine.
- No.

No, I feel like an asshole.
Like, I... I told my therapist

about it, and she said that
we can build intimacy

without even having sex,

like eye contact or cuddling,
you know.

Like, you must have such
a weird relationship with sex.

No.
No, it's... I... I don't.

No, I mean,
you're a survivor and stuff,

and I'm a feminist.

And I think that I should be
an ally

to all survivors,
so I want you to know

that I'm here for you.
So whatever you need

and however you wanna feel
comfortable and safe,

- that's what we're gonna do.
- Okay.

WOMAN: So you're safe with me.

All right, thank you.
All right?

But I don't need to go slow,
though.

Okay?
I'm good.

WOMAN: Okay.
I... I wanna go slow, though.

Um, but we already had sex.

WOMAN: I know,
but now I wanna go slow.

So why the hell am I here?

Because you texted me.

Yeah, I texted you, "You up?"

That means "let's fuck,"
not whatever bullshit this is.

[door slams]

Walker, perfect timing, bro!

- ERIC: Yo, what's up, dudes?
- What's up, baby?

I should have texted
before I came over.

Are you kidding?
Bro, you are always

welcome here.
You want a roadie?

Yeah.
