It was lovely, dear.

He was a special man.

- SUZE: Oh, yeah?
(indistinct chatter)
- She skipped class.
- Is anyone gonna
check on her?
- Is Rue in her room?
- Yeah.
- She hasn't opened the door.

Don't just stand here

Rue?
- Hey.
- RUE: Hey.
(sniffs)
These were my dad's.
How are you feeling?
Yeah.
I... found this poem,
and I thought of you.
RUE: If it's
C.S. Lewis, I can't.
- No, it's not. I promise.
- Every hospice nurse says
that "Grief is a long valley."
Yeah, but that's
not the full quote.
Yeah, well, it's enough for me.
Well,
the second part's
kind of sweet.
RUE: What is it?
Uh, "A winding valley
where every bend...
may reveal a new landscape."
That's not that bad.
Can I read this to you?
Uh, yeah, I'd love that.

It's called
"Let This Darkness
Be a Bell Tower"
by Rainer Maria Rilke.
"Quiet friend who
has come so far,
"feel how your breathing
makes more space around you.
(light music playing)
"Let this darkness
be a bell tower
and you the bell.
"As you ring, what batters
you becomes your strength.
"Move back and forth
into the change.
"What is it like,
such intensity of pain?
"If the drink is bitter,
turn yourself into wine.
"In this uncontainable night,
"be the mystery
at the crossroads
of your senses,
"the meaning discovered there.
"And if the world has
ceased to hear you,
"say to the silent
earth: I flow.
To the rushing water,
speak: I am."

LEXI: (narrating)
I knew Jade had
been doing drugs,
but it wasn't until that day,
at her dad's memorial,
that I realized they
were a greater comfort
than I ever could be.
Maybe that's
a silly observation,
but I was only 13.
It was the summer before
I started ninth grade...
back when we thought we'd
all be friends forever.

RUE:
For the last few months,
Lexi had been talking
to Fezco every day.
But I still don't understand
what the play is actually
about, though.
LEXI: (on phone)
It's about friendship.
Well, that's nice.
Everybody's gonna love that.
Yeah, I-I mean, I hope so.
I just-- I keep
second-guessing myself
and getting anxious, like,
if people are gonna think
that it's good or bad,
or if it's gonna
upset people or not.
But why would anyone
be upset by it?
LEXI:
Oh, you know, it's, it's
based on real people.
FEZCO:
Yeah, you really strokin'
the bee's nest with that one.
- Am I?
- I mean...
if someone invited me
to a play, and...
they didn't even tell me
I was a character in it?
I'd definitely
have some questions.
LEXI:
Like, bad questions?
FEZCO:
Depends on the play.
LEXI:
Well, would you
be upset by it?
FEZCO:
It depends on the play.
- Right.
- FEZCO: And the intentions of
the person who made the play.
My intentions are good.
FEZCO:
Then you ain't got
nothin' to worry about.
But... what if they think
my intentions aren't good
when in reality they are good?
Well, that's what
I call a quandary.
LEXI:
What's the answer?
Uh, wait, what was
the question again?
(whispers)
Like, what happens if
Cassie sees the play
and thinks I'm being cruel,
even though I'm not?
Well, how about you just
don't invite her then?
No, she'd get so mad.
FEZCO:
Even more mad than if she
actually saw the play?
That's-- I don't know.

LEXI:
Okay, this might kinda be
a weird and embarrassing
thing to admit,
but I think the most defining
moment of my adolescence
was when my sister
went through puberty.
(cymbals, drumbeat)
- Uck, I look disgusting.
- (audience laughs)
Hey, Hallie,
I'm in the middle
of somethin'.
It's just this dress
is so not flattering.
- LEXI: Hallie, I'm kinda
puttin' on a play right now.
- HALLIE: What?
LEXI:
Like, there's
an entire audience
waiting for me
to continue talking.
- HALLIE: Where?
- (scattered laughs)
(quietly) Right here.
Oh, (chuckles).
Hi. Wow.

Whatever.
The point is,
I couldn't wait
to go through puberty.
Wow, wow, wow!

- MOTHER: Look at you!
- I feel like a big baby.
- Hallie...
I've been on this planet
for 38 goddamn years,
and I have never seen a baby
with knockers like yours.
(laughing)
HALLIE:
Mom, that was the grossest
thing I've ever heard you say.
MOTHER: (laughs)
Okay.
Lights, 12, go.
Look, I know being informed,
smart, hardworking, and curious
are all very
important qualities,
but imagine having
all of those qualities
and also being hot.
So, if Hallie was
433 days older than me,
then all I would
have to do is wait...
433 days,
and I'd look just like her.

To be honest,
I'm not really
the kind of person
who wants to be
known for their body.

I think before high school
we should think about
all the things we don't
like about ourselves...
and then change them,
so we can be, like,
like, different,
cooler people.
I don't think we
need to be cooler.
LEXI:
Well, we should at least
try and know what's cool.
JADE:
Yeah, but that shit, like,
changes all the time.
LEXI:
That's what makes
it hard to follow.
JADE:
Yeah, but I think
it's a good thing.
But... what if
we get excluded
from things?
That's also
a good thing.
- Really?
- Yeah.
My dad says
he refuses to be
a part of any club
that would have
him as a member.
LEXI:
Well, that's cool.
Yeah, don't tell anyone.
They'll fuckin' ruin it.
Jade was the first person
who made me feel okay
about not being cool.
Lights, 10, go.
LEXI:
I just feel like in 10 years,
technology's gonna
get really scary,
and we're all gonna
wish we'd never used it.
What are you
talking about?
Well,
all these tech companies
are simultaneously
developing artificial
intelligence and robotics,
so it's only a matter
of time before they
become the new
military-industrial complex
and start making killer robots.
I think there's
a big difference
between taking selfies
and killer robots.
Yeah, maybe now,
but that gap will close.
But anyway,
back to where I was.
We talked and laughed
for hours that night.
I miss those days.
It was before my dad left
and Jade's dad died.
Before Jade got
into heavy drugs,
and before I got
inside my head.
It was before
we grew apart,
and before I started
doubting myself
every time someone
would ask me if Jade
was my best friend.
"Let this darkness
be a bell tower...
and you the bell."
(bell rings)
Feel like I don't
know anything about
your life anymore.
I'll tell you
when you get back.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Um... do you ever worry
as you get older...
you'll have
less and less
memories of Dad?
Yeah.
GIA: How do you stop
that from happening?
You can't.
I... I remember
a couple of days before
you passed away...
you told me...
that if I ever wanted
to be with you...
all I would have to do
is close my eyes...
and we'd be together.
You said that...
memories exist
outside of time.

All right, girls?
It's time for bed.
It's supposed to be me.

Oh, that's supposed to be me.
All righty, beauty queens.
It's time for bed. Good night.
MOTHER: (whispers)
Good night, sugar pops.

HALLIE: Marta...
Marta:
Yeah?
HALLIE:
You can sleep in
my bed if you want.
My parents used to fight
all the time, too, so I get it.

You can stay here

MADDY:
Open the fucking door, Cassie.
Open the door
and tell me it was worth it.
You owe me that.
(doorknob rattling)
Open the fucking door, Cassie!
What kind of fucking
friend are you?
What the fuck?
This isn't
about Nate.
This is about
you and me
and our friendship,
and if you wanna
throw it away,
then fine.
'Cause I don't wanna be
fucking friends with you.
KAT:
Come here, babe.
Let's go.
I'm just sick of it.
I'm sick of it.
He put me through hell
and now he's with
my fucking best friend?
Like, what the fuck?

- When is it gonna end?
KAT:
It's fucked up.
(door rattling)
MADDY:
Open the fucking door, Cassie!
Open the fucking door!
KAT:
She's not gonna open it.
Let's just go.
MADDY:
Open the door!

- KAT: Maddy, come on.
You're a fucking coward.
You're a fucking coward,
and I would've never
done this to you.
I would've never
done this to you.
