Generation (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Desert Island - full transcript

On the way to San Francisco, the group rallies to make the most of unforeseen circumstances. Nathan and Arianna face an awkward truth, while Greta and Riley struggle to connect. Later, Chester's admission to Sam sends them both sp...

...so yes, you can safely surrender
a baby 72 hours after it's born.

And this one smelling like very fresh
pussy, so we good there.

Literally all I can smell is
the placenta. Is it leaking ?

So just hand the baby over, no
questions asked, that's it ?

They literally cannot ask you
any questions.

God, fuck, why can't there
be that law for my parents?

And yes you have 14 days
to change your mind.

No, baby, don't worry.
I'm not changing my mind.

We talked about this, you need to go to
someone who wants to take care of you.

Please just let them be socially
conscious. And feminist !

Someone who stands up
to heteronormativity



and unrealistic body expectations,

and systemic racism.

And animal abuse.
Oh yes !

You know what you want in life.

And you're going to ask for it.

one week earlier

Some of my best lays have been
in roadside motels.

Hi there. I called about the rooms ?
Because our bus broke down ?

You're not sex trafficking these kids,
right ?

What ? No.

Young lady,
are you being sex trafficked ?

No.
Why does everyone always ask me that ?

Okay. Credit card ?

So. Surprise.
This isn't the Castro.



But... sometimes being queer is about
resilience.

Some might even argue that's really
all that it's about.

We are resourceful, quick on our feet,
and...

And...

Screw it !

Chester, J.

Riley, Greta.

Naomi, Arianna.

Nathan... Cooper.

Delilah, Christina.

Luz, Lily.

- Nope. I don't share.
- That puts three in a room.

- Okay. Also, they're freshmen.
- Can Delilah sleep with us ?

Sure.

You and me homie.

Oh they got golf !

You like women's golf ?
So fucking hot !

There's a stain on the ceiling
that looks like Jesus.

Give me some beer, come on !

Motherfucker !

Is this dinner ?

Well, it's either this or a French
Hawaiian fusion place called

Bonjour Kauai
that really screamed drug front.

But this vending machine
doesn't wanna see me win.

Alright. Watch this.

Thank you.

Yes !

You're magic !

Proteins, carbs and greens. Ain't
nobody getting scurvy on my watch.

- Greens ?
- Yeah.

Remind me,
you got a degree in education right ?

You paid someone to be this bad
at your job ?

Yeah. That's right. And remind me,

you got your degree at the famed
Norwegian University of Coont, right ?

- Holy shit. He went there.
- Yeah, I really did.

- Instantly regretting it.
-.I won't tell.

Thank you.

That's what friends are for.

You disappointed about San Francisco ?

The thing about Paris is Burning is,

it was made by some rich white woman
who took on black and brown stories.

And like, did she really share the gold
with them ?

I was gonna ask her about it,
and that probably woulda made you mad.

It would not, assuming you weren't
going to be a bitch about it.

- I'm always a bitch.
- Eh. Two-thirds of the time.

Oh the shade !

- What about the other third ?
- You know what I think. I told you.

- What ?
- You know.

No, seriously - what ?

That you're the person I wish
I had been when I was younger.

I know,
I just wanted to hear you say it again.

Text everyone dinner's ready.

I dare the last person to jump
in the pool to belly flop !

It's Delilah !

What ?

Belly flop !

Do I really have to do this ?

Make sure to spread eagle !

Let her at least hold
her titties down !

Which look amazing by the way !

Okay, okay.
Shit fuck cunt dick.

The worst thing I ever did ?

Probably
the time I pretended I had cancer

to get a free ice cream cone
from Baskin-Robbins.

I'd pretend to be Make-A-Wish to get to
the front of lines at Disneyland.

- Lady Majora !
- Lady Majora !

Lady Majora !

Guys, guys. Come on.
Come on, stop.

Sorry !

Let's move this into my room.

Damn. Straight boys really be putting
their tongue anywhere, huh ?

Um...
I dare you to

trade shirts with Naomi.

Are you fucking kidding me ?
You asshat.

- I was admiring it.
- 'Cuz it's a fucking cute top.

Yeah ! Striptease !

Okay, my turn, my turn.

Nathan...

- Truth or dare ?
- Dare.

- But something about you scares me.
- It should.

I dare you,

Arianna and Chester to three-way kiss.

- I'm down.
- What ?

Fine. But I'm recording

and if any of you tell anyone
I will release it to the world.

Fuck, I'm out of storage.
Can you record for me ?

- Please don't make me do this.
- I need you to. Please.

- Are you ready ?
- Yeah.

Coming in hot,
coming in hot !

Oh my God !

I'm gonna be saying,
this is disgusting.

- Arianna, literally, stop. This is...
- Shut the fuck up !

Oh my God !

What the fuck, and you guys were all on
me for a toilet seat ?

- You know I'm coming for you.
- Yeah.

- Dare.
- You literally never pick truth.

Nothing good ever comes
from telling the truth.

I dare you to use your fake to buy
a bottle of wine from the lobby.

Yes, I love you !

- Let's go.
- It was nice knowing you, Naomi.

Come with me ?

- Can I go again while we're waiting ?
- Sure.

Chester. If the world was ending,

and you had to pick one person to be
stuck on a desert island with,

who would it be ?

Wait - there is someone, who is it ?
Do we know him ?

- No.
- Okay, so we know him.

Yeah sure, it's Idris Elba.
Guys I'm bored - let's be done.

What's the point of playing this
if you're not going to tell the truth ?

Dude, leave him alone.

Are you kidding me ?
Look what you did !

I'm sorry.
Do not look at me...

Guys ! Ten minutes to lights out !

Honestly I'm not even mad about
missing out on slutty clubbing

in San Francisco. Cuz Cooper's tongue
on that toilet... Fuck.

That was definitely
not his first time.

Damn, wish I was that toilet seat.

- Oh shit !
- What ?

This is bad. This is really bad.
I think I want to fuck Cooper.

- Oh bitch !
- Yes !

You haven't touched a dick.

- What ? Every detail immediately.
- Okay.

- I fucked J !
- Actually fucked fucked ?

Yeah, I don't know, he's so sweet
and so Zen in that hot way.

- And...
- Spill it.

He kept asking for consent over
and over, which was so hot,

and I was like yes yes yes

all this enthusiastic consenting makes
me want to fuck you so hard right now.

- What was it like ?
- Amazing.

I mean kinda fast cuz
he also had to pull out but amazing.

But then we decided not to date so
we wouldn't lose each other as friends.

But like, I don't think I'll ever want
to be friends with Cooper

so we could just hook up but
ugh I don't know !

Is he just a douchey jock
who wears Abercrombie ?

Stop, stop, stop.

- Hi.
-Hi.

- Nathan's in the shower.
- No. We have a question for you.

Why don't you ever say anything
in any of the meetings ?

- You guys talk a lot ?
- Fair.

- So are you gay or what ?
- You can't ask that.

I'm straight.

- You wanna know why I go ?
- Yes.

My brother's trans.
I mean, he used to be my sister.

But my parents are freaking out and are
being major assholes to him.

Them ? Or him.
Sorry.

I think he said both are okay.

So I wanted to, you know, learn.
Figure out what I could do.

How come you never said before ?

No one asked.

- Want to ask me anything else ?
- I don't think so.

Later, I guess.

- Okay, later.
- Bye !

This is bad. I literally want to
fuck him more than ever.

- He obviously wants you.
- He does not. Does he ?

I have to pee so bad. But
Abercrombie. Ew.

- Do you think ?
- I could ask Nathan.

We're supposed to
hook up tonight anyway.

Girl stop. He cannot get between us.

I just... Whatever. It's fine.

Say it.

I'm sorry. I think
he's stringing you along.

What ?

No. I'm stringing him along.

Fuck. Do I have to be mad about this ?

What about that kiss ?
It didn't seem very equal to me.

Fuck. Show it. Show me the kiss.

Tittysucker, you're right.

- I need to talk to Nathan.
- He's in the shower.

Do you like Chester ?

Can I finish showering ?

Wait !

You were right.
Fuck, guys !

You deserve better. I once caught him
jerking off to a girl

from a college admissions catalogue.
He's gross.

"Hi, I'm a man.
I take everything I want.

I'm just a selfish,
shitty bitch boy-man."

"Hi, I'm another man.

I just want to stick stuff in holes
and punch myself in the face."

Me too, me too, me too !

Matriarchy !

- Was that us ?
- Yes ! Put it out !

We have to hide !

I dare you to use your fake to buy
a bottle of wine from the lobby.

Yes, I love you !

It was nice knowing you, Naomi.

- Come with me !
-Can I go again while we're waiting ?

Chester...

If the world was ending,
and you had to be stuck...

To be ostriched I take that
as a sign of aggression.

I have a high tolerance for pain.

But... And I'm a sub too...

- Yeah, but who's asking ?
- I might be asking.

Maybe I'll get a late checkout.

Wanna just go back to the room
instead ?

Guys !
Ten minutes to lights out !

Sorry !

What ?

Stop !

- What ?
- No...

No, what are you doing ?

- Aren't we ?
- No !

I don't want this,

I'm not like you,
I don't just hook up.

That's not what I - Jesus.

Why would you even say that ?
What is happening right now ?

If the world was ending and you had to
pick one person to be stuck with,

who would it be ?

Wait - there is someone, who is it ?
Do we know him ?

- No.
- Okay, so we know him.

Yeah sure, Idris Elba.
Guys I'm bored - let's be done.

What's the point of playing this
if you're not going to tell the truth ?

Leave him alone.

Are you kidding me ?
Look what you did !

- Have you been there a while ?
- No.

I just came down to tell you
that it's time for bed.

- Can I have one more minute ?
- Yeah.

I bought a star once.

- That's so normie of you.
- It was for a friend.

I was going to his birthday party
one year,

and I forgot to get him a present.

And he can be such a bitch about things
like that.

So I snuck into the bathroom
and bought him the star online.

But turns out he loved it.

He was the one who killed himself.

- Why ?
- Why does anyone do anything ? But.

He was a lot - in the best way.

It takes energy to be a lot.

I think he ran out of energy.

- I get it now.
- Yeah.

And you telling me you're a lot

and sending me that picture the first
damn day of my job...

saying this is what lonely looks like.

- Only cuz I knew you'd understand.
- I do understand.

- I know you do.
- Just.

Make sure you let people in sometimes.

I have let someone in.

He's got gentle eyes.

"So I could picture a whole future."

Please tell me that wasn't you.

I didn't know. If you knew.

You need to go to bed.

Wait. Wait !

- Can you stop for a second ?
- No !

What do you mean, no ?
That conversation proved it.

It was proof. Once you strip it all
away - all the bullshit society stuff -

we can be something.

It's not bullshit. It's very real.

I could lose my job. Or worse.
Do you realize that ?

- No that's not gonna happen.
- What world do you live in ?

We'll figure it out. We have to.
Because it was all there. You know it.

You saw me on the inside, and I saw
you, I saw it all.

A whole future.
Like you said...

I never said that. I need you to tell
me you know I never said that.

We think the same. Frostys and death
jokes - you want to be me,

and you're all these things I want
to be.

And I see you.

You have to know how beautiful that is,
right ? I mean, you have to.

Enough. You have to stop.

You don't know me...
And you just...

- You have to stop.
- But that's where you're so wrong.

That weird shitty moment in the
diner with the MAGA freaks

you just looked at me, we didn't even
have to say a word,

we have this whole unspoken story
together.

We have no unspoken story
except the one in your head

and you can't even see how wrong it is.

Wait !

If the world was ending, and you had to
pick one person

to be stuck on a desert island with,
who would it be ?

This isn't a fucking game, Chester.

You are a high school student
and I am your guidance counselor.

- Because I would pick you.
-Go to your room, or you get suspended.

And I know that you would pick me,
except you're afraid. You're afraid

cuz this whole fucked-up world is made
to keep people like us apart.

That's not what this is. You're a kid.

- No, I'm not. I'm not.
- Stop.

You don't have to be afraid.

Say it. Say you would pick me.

Please.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

Fuck !

I would not pick you.
