Generation (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - The Last Shall Be First - full transcript

Good morning.

I went ahead and let Mrs. Takahashi
know she'll be your new counselor.

You should see her today,
there's a suspension form to sign.

And I want you to have someone
to talk to.

I think this makes the most sense.

... a form of indentured servitude

that was developed as a condition of
debt bondage.

And serfs could be
bought and sold and traded

so there were some similarities
to slavery. But there was usually...

Hi.

- You okay ?
- Okay.



Okay. Cuz you seem, like...

Where's Magic Mike ?

- Is that what people call me ?
- No. No one calls you that.

A lot of shit went down
and I really can't tell anyone else.

- I need to talk to you about it.
- Yeah...

I'm sick of being all Mary Poppins save
the world for everyone, you know ?

Like, it's not my job.

Yeah.
But we're just worried about you.

And you're not responding to
anyone's texts,

and no one knows
why you pulled the fire alarm.

- I told you it was a joke.
- Okay...

For real ?

Oh shit you scared me.

You gonna be here for a while ?



I have next period free.

You don't normally look like this.

Yeah, I'm not in a real chatty
how ya' doin' kinda mood right now.

I can tell.

It's good how you speak your
mind and all - who are you ?

I'm Bo. Sorry.
I'm intimidated,

and when I get intimidated
I always say the wrong thing.

Once I asked my freshman crush what
it felt like having divorced parents.

And that was me trying to flirt.

- I intimidate you ?
- You intimidate everyone.

No I know.
How come I've never seen you before ?

- We've had three classes together.
- Really ?

Sorry.

So... What happened
with your freshman crush ?

Oh he was straight.

"A person is a person when they are
good sometimes but not always,

and loved regardle..."

Ss.

They only suspended me four days
but it was a shitty four days.

And I can't miss any more school
so I'm back.

But like, barely.

Why'd you pull the fire alarm ?

Cuz I was loving too much
and in all the wrong places, and...

But that's the nature
of my personality, you know ?

Yeah.

Actually, no.

All of my knowledge of love is drawn
from things you'd judge me for.

Like what ?

Do you know Anju and Kafei
from Legend of Zelda ?

Yeah, you're right.

I think of everyone's personalities as
Dungeons and Dragons alignments.

Is that like, good, evil, neutral...
whatever ?

Which one am I ?

Chaotic good. I think.

- What about you ?
- Neutral good.

- Is that bad ?
- Do you want to be neutral ?

I mean,
like, right now in this moment ?

I got class.

Wait. I don't really get
Dungeons and Dragons.

- It's not surprising.
- You saying I'm a judge-y bitch ?

Yes.

But I mean, right ?

I don't play much anymore, but

I love that you can be a Halfling druid
with a five strength

but roll a twenty
and boom you killed an ogre.

I don't know,
I find randomness kinda hopeful ?

Yo, what's up ?

Where's the crop top at ?

Yeah, no sparkle today ?

- Are they bothering you ?
- Nah I'm good.

We're just like, where's Chester ?

- Are you sure you're okay, man ?
- I'm just waiting on some Cheetos.

- What's up with him ?
- Said he wants some Cheetos.

- He must be depressed or something.
- He off his game ? He looks weird.

Yo I can hear you.

- This is too sad. We gotta fix this.
- Let's try this !

Hey it's International Chester Day !

Hey ! Shirts off everybody !
Come on !

Shirts off for Chester !
Come on !

Come on, for Chester !

Yeah, yeah.
Let's go baby, shirts off !

- Nipples out !
- Turn up the music !

Tits out for Chester !

So problematic !
Chester doesn't even like tits !

Damn you're right.

Dicks out for Chester !

No ! Worse !

- Take it out !
- Crop top !

- You can get a little gay !
- It's not gay !

Come on !

Chester !

Come on, dude !

Would you ever wanna hang out ?

- No. Do not. Please do not do that.
- Wasn't that the whole thing today ?

Like to just go out and do it ?

Yeah,
but not in the way you're thinking.

But when you dared us to kiss,
Chester was the first one to say yes.

He wanted to kiss me.
And you saw he was into it.

- I don't know actually.
- I do. I was kissing him.

I don't want to tell you
not to put yourself out there.

I just don't think you should

in any way do
what you're thinking of doing.

- I should just call him.
- Wait.

He likes it when there's zero bullshit.
Hello ?

Wait I think I got his voicemail.

Hi, it's me, Nathan.
That was insane today.

Just so awesome and...

Awesome.

I texted you a couple times while
you were suspended just to, like,

see how you were doing.

Not like you should've texted me back
or anything.

What happened on the trip
with the kiss and everything,

just so you know,
I'm not with Arianna anymore.

Hang up !

So award for most
rambling message ever but, like...

You know, I...
I think you're really cool.

Like who would not want to fuck their
clone if their clone was you, right ?

I would wanna fuck myself
if I was you.

Meaning I would want to fuck myself,
if myself was you.

I hope that doesn't sound creepy.

Google how to delete a message
you're leaving.

I guess what I really am trying to say
is that, like...

I know that, like, on some level
you're up there and I'm down here.

And there is every reason in the world
that we would not work out, but...

Sometimes opposites attract, right ?
So.

I don't really know what else to say
except that, like...

I know that you were probably hurting
this week

and I would have given...

anything

just to come over
and make you feel better.

I don't know if you remember, but when
we first met at Riley's party

you put your arm around me and
it was...

It was everything !

Okay. Crazy psycho-crying happening
now, but...

It's just that...

Sometimes I want to put my arm
around you too.

And make you feel that way.

Like how I feel about you.

I don't want to use the word love,
but...

You have got to be fucking kidding.
It's gone !

Tittyfuck cuntnugget. Can you guys
go to Gardenwalk after school ?

As long as I'm home by 8.
My dads have a standing Friday sex date

and I have to put their Passion pen
back before they know I took it.

Yeah, I want to. It's just ugh, malls.

AC and capitalism...
You know ?

But I mean, Potato Corner.

- Can I just say I hate kids ?
- They scream and take things from you.

I have massive hunger pains.

Fuck ! Hot Dog on a Stick looks
so good right now.

- It's meat. No, I can't.
- Just do it ! No one has to know.

I want it so bad. No.
No meat. I can't.

- Taste this chip.

- It's so good !
- Oh, my God !

I want to do that.

I need to get off !
I have the worst stomach ache !

Just stay on because my phone
was out of storage

but it just uploaded to the thingy
so now I can film you.

My dads are here.

Love you.
Love you the most.

It's probably cramps
but I have to go to the bathroom.

- I'm gonna meet you at Sephora okay ?
- No. Please come with me. Please.

Fuck this cramp !

- You okay ?
- I'm in so much fucking pain !

Sephora's going to close.

...the service in here sucks.
And I'm being raped by pop-up ads...

Bitch, I love you !

It's coming out !

- Hi.
- Hi.

Fuck you !

You ready ?

You can safely surrender
a baby 72 hours after it's born.

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

- Me neither.
- No, J and I talked about this.

And you need to go to someone
who wants to take care of you.

God, this no questions asked thing
is genius !

You can do it at a hospital,
a police station...

- Fuck the police !
- Fire station.

Seriously the first time
I achieved orgasm

was to an Australian
Firefighters calendar.

Over there.

Oh God,
I'm literally sweating right now.

Y'all look crusty.

Hi, tiny human.

This was mine.

My Nonna never throws anything away
and we glad for it now.

Sorry you had to be born.

But hey - look at all of us.

We didn't ask to be born either and
we're making it work.

There you go...

- We're going to a firehouse.
- Yes !

I just need to get something
from my house first.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Miss ya at this end of the table.

Miss you too.

Would you ever wanna hang out ?

- Did you get my voicemail ?
- What ?

- Did you get my voicemail ?
- No.

Oh wait, no, yeah, I did.
I'll look into it later.

No, it's fine,
you can just delete it.

Oh honey
now I am definitely listening to it !

I'll be really quick.

Delilah's
Do not touch !

I got it, I got it.

Thank God. Cuz I've done enough today.
I am nobody's auntie.

Hi !
I know, I know.

It's okay.

You're okay.
Hi ! Hi !

Hi !
Hi, baby !

I'm a savage okay

Classy, bougie, ratchet

Okay

Sassy, moody, nasty
Okay

Acting stupid,
what's happening...

Yes, what's happening ?

Sassy, moody, nasty

You're killing my lullaby vibe.

Sorry.

I know...
I'm a savage...

It's okay, it's okay...

Okay, I'm ready.

- So, nearest firehouse or... ?
- Yeah...

It's just - yes to a firehouse,
but I don't know which one.

I'm assuming whichever one we choose
someone local will adopt him.

And sentencing this kid to a life in
Anaheim seems straight-up criminal.

D, I definitely don't wanna rush you

but it's getting late
and my mom's starting to freak out.

Also, the longer we're out, the more
likely we are to get pulled over

and then we're fucked.

Okay.

Nearest firehouse. Let's go.

"Jesus is the reason for the season" ?

Are we sure we wanna leave the baby
here ? Getting home-schooling vibes.

So like no. Definitely not here.

I mean, where other than Oakland
do unicorn lesbians live ?

I'm looking up best places in
California for queers

besides San Francisco.
Okay ?

Wait, Laguna ?

"Sunny beaches and secluded coves,

Laguna is Southern California's most
alluring beach town."

What kid's like life ain't perfect but
at least I got secluded coves ?

What is going on with her ?

I don't know, but
I feel like something happened.

What ?

Oh shit.
My phone uploaded at the mall

and the video of you guys kissing
Chester is on the family iCloud.

No way.

Why does iCloud never work and when
it does screws up your whole life ?

- Did she tell my dads ?
- Do I answer ? I have to answer.

Hi. Why are you talking to me about
this and not Nathan ?

Do you not see
how problematic that is ?

My service sucks, goodbye.

Problematic is literally
my new favorite word, thank you.

- I'm sorry.
- Bitch don't even. iCloud is a cunt.

And I mean - my dads can't be on me for
threeways, right ?

She's calling me from the landline.

And she's FaceTiming me !
She is literally double-fisting us !

First, where in the name of God
are you ?

Do you know how worried I've been ?
And where is your brother ?

- Hi, Mom.
- Oh thank God ! Where are you ?

- Just out.
- Hey, girl, I just wanted to...

- She froze.
- Should we just turn our phones off ?

No. I think I should deal.

- No, we have to go.
- I don't want her calling the cops.

I saw that video. Okay ?

- How do you like them apples ?
- Mom, can we just talk ?

No, no ! We cannot just.
This is it !

You two are coming home
right this minute.

When you walk through that door,

I'm going to come down on you so hard
it'll make your head spin.

No more Mrs. Nice Mujer, okay ?
Are you listening to me ?

I am going Old Testament,
it's gonna be an eye for an eye.

Why do you always wanna make m
the enemy ?

- You just said eye for an eye.
- Because you drove me to it !

Fuck, I can't...
Listen to me.

I am really trying my Brené Brown best,
okay ?

To stand here in my vulnerability.

- I am a human.
- And so are we. We're not just kids.

We are, but...

Now we're helping the less fortunate.
And that is something you taught us.

So please stop thinking you did such
a bad job as a mother. You didn't.

- We'll get back in touch with you.
- No !

- Is she going to call the cops ?
- Probably.

Go to Settings, Location Services,
Find My Friends, Turn off Bluetooth.

We'll get back in touch with you.
Iconic.

I'm so sorry, but
my aunt is starting to freak out.

Where you wanna go, boo ?

Okay, secluded coves and
sunny beaches it is.

I couldn't have...

You know... done...

Just thank you,

No. You don't thank your sisters.

I'm adopted.

- Oh I wasn't sure.
- Yeah.

It's this whole thing
with my birthparents

where like if they had not got stuck
at a red light

they would've made it to the CVS
before it closed

and then they would've got a condom
and I wouldn't have been born.

And then my birthmom was choosing
what family to put me with

and was gonna go with some family
in Idaho.

But I guess she wasn't really vibing
them and...

That day her horoscope was like
stay away from potatoes.

So she was like, oh

I love Will and Grace. I should just
go with the gay guys in California.

And even if it's fun telling my dads
I'd be so much happier in Idaho,

I definitely wouldn't.

Clearly I'm not a God person...

But with stuff like that...
it just makes you think.

How it all kind of happens
like it's supposed to.

It's really good what you're doing.

This is my favorite shirt.
I want you to have it.

Piss on the patriarchy

Look at that !

I also want you to have

this transformative justice manual
and this Audre Lorde book.

Let's tuck 'em under here.

Hold up.

Hi.

May you always be loved regardless.

I've been carrying this
since 4th grade.

May it keep pain away.

You ready ?

That fireman was fucking hot.

I miss us.

Yes.
