Yeah, we got
drinks over here.

There's volleyball
over there.

And... we got food comin'.

Don't worry.
I know y'all hungry.
There's food comin'.

Aight.

Moe:
Ah, shit.

It's two already?



This my third coat
of sunscreen.

You know you missin'
your whole backside, right?

I'm always facin'
the sun, though.

-(laughs)
-Well, you need to put
some on, too,

'fore you out here
lookin' like a strawberry.

-Yeah, you right.
Gimme some of that.
-Yeah.

Yo, this was a good idea.

Folks straight-up
frolickin' out here.

I, I didn't even
know we frolicked.

Shit, I was
frolickin' yesterday.

Ah, well, they frolickin'
on a empty stomach.

Ah, Suge was
supposed to bring
the meat for the grill,

and he still ain't here.

Typical Suge.



The princess is here.

-Ayeee! What's up, girl?
-What's up, y'all?

-Aric, I see you got
yo' boobs out today.
-(chuckles)

-'Bout time you got here.
-What's the problem?

It's not like
I was gonna help anyway.

-You want sunscreen?
-What's this?

This just
regular-ass Aveeno.

(Kelli laughs)

Girl, there's niggas
in bulk out here.

It's like Costco.

I don't know how
we gon' find this party.

All the Blacks
had the same idea.

Damn, we are a monolith.

I think that might
be Nathan's group
over there.

Niggas to the North
and the South?

Girl, the options
is lookin' good, too.

-(all laughing)
-Caught one bee on Bumble,

-and the bitch is back.
-(all laughing)

First of all,
I said the date was good.

The sex...
I fuck weird now.

I need to get more
reps in with somebody who
knows what they're doin'.

Oh, someone who knows
what they're doin'?
That would be me.

You know what?
I might be on my
spiritual shit,

but I'm here
to support you.

-And you.
-Ooh.

Are we open
for business?

-Kelli and Molly: Ahh!
-(Issa laughs)

Okay, yes, Tag Team!
I love that for y'all.

I'mma go try
to talk to Nathan,

and not cry
in his mouth.

Should ask him what
my tears taste like.

-I know they salty.
-Kelli: Didn't he walk out

on you in the middle
of the night?

Like my Dad.

Girl, it's been a week.
Still nothing?

I mean, we texted,
but not about that.

We both been
super busy, though.

All right then,
maybe just like,

ease into it.

Take your time.

-That's what I would do.
-Do y'all see this?

I knew as soon as I announced

this Nothing But Water deal

he'd have some
shit to say.

Don't even trip
off of him, okay?

He can have all
the emoji fingers he wants,

but his stuff sold out
because of who?

Mm, that part.
Everybody wants to be
successful on Etsy,

but not everybody's
ready for the fame.

Y'all right.

I ain't--
Let me stay
off this shit.

I am not
about to argue
with someone

who went
to Scared Straight
for high school.

(laughing)

(laughs) I didn't know
he went there, too.

♪ ♪

Man, I've tried
to get into juicin',

but they say you
still can't juice meat.

This--
(chuckles)

-Hey!
-Hey! Hey.

-Thanks for comin'.
-Yeah, great. And you?

(laughs)
You didn't ask.

How are you doing?

I'm just tryin'
to get my host on.

That's dope.

Every party needs a GHB.

That's,
"Great Host Boiii."

And this party's got you.

-Nathan: Thanks.
-Killin' it since...

before we got here.
(laughs)

-Yeah, thanks.
-(laughs)

We would love some alcohol.

I say, what's happenin'?
I'm Aric.

I got y'all.

I got, got drinks
right over here.

-All right.
-Okay.

Yeah.

The weather turned
out great, right?

What is it, like 74?

Nah, it's probably,
like 81, actually.

(chuckles)
What you think it is?

Oh, shit.
I should probably--

-You good?
-Mm-hm.

Partygoer:
Excuse me, rainbow girl.
Can you throw it back?

So, he's definitely
mad at me.

He's bein' so weird, right?

I mean, I don't know
his baseline.

I always thought
he was a weird nigga.

I thought that
was the draw.

We should've
talked earlier.

-Maybe I shouldn't have come.
-You want us to leave?

-And make things more weird?
-It might not be to him.

But then again,
I don't know his baseline.

Wait, Kelli,
you're drinkin'?

No! Booze is on snooze

until a bitch
is enlightened.

(laughs)
This is for you.

Loosen up.

You right, thanks.

Is Aric swipe right
or swipe left?

Well, let's not
choose just yet.

Everybody's still
in the runnin'

until they
disqualify themselves.

-Yes!
-Hoo-hoo! She back!

Yo! Who tryin'
to get busy

on the Spades table, though?

Oh, Spades!
(squeals)

Wait, is that like Pitty Pat?
I'll play if y'all teach me.

The cut-off is 16.
Ain't nobody teachin' you
Spades at your big age.

They said
I can't play.

-Guys against girls.
-Let's go.

(indistinct chatter)

I mean, I'm just,
I'm just, I'm ju--
Ahh! Bam!

Ahh!
(laughs)

We gon' take those.

Kelli:
Oh, I am gonna
take those.

(indistinct chatter)

You know what?
You gon' go 'head
and call us the librarians.

Why?
'Cause we got books!

-(indistinct chatter)
-Read 'em!

Oh, no.
They not fuckin'.

But they fuckin'.

Y'all lucky y'all
not some niggas,
'cause these size 14s

would be all up in yo' ass.

Mmm, size 14s, huh?

-Noted.
-Aric, what your feet
be lookin' like?

Probably drier than a bitch.

Barbers be the ashiest ones.

Damn, why you
comin' for me?

Kelli:
Don't worry 'bout it, baby.
I got cocoa butter.

Aric:
I wear a size nine.

Kelli:
Why you proud of that?

Also, round up,
nigga, round up

in public, shit!

Resha:
Is that Issa?
Hey, Issa!

Resha! Hey!

-You look so good.
-Oh, you too!

I almost didn't recognize you

(chuckles)
outside of your smock.

You think the water
looks cool?
It looks hella cold.

It looks real warm to me.

Say less.
Y'all comin'?

Go! Woo!

I bet she doesn't even
have to learn how
to swim with those.

She could just float.

That's Resha.

So, I just wanted
to check in.

Are we cool?

Nothin's changed for me.

Okay...

so we're still friends?

Yep.

Suge:
Aye, the wait is over!

Ah, shit.

Man, what happened
to the burgers

and the hot dogs you
was supposed to bring?

-I got all this mustard.
-I said I was bringin' food.

I ain't say nothin'
about no barbecue.

Now take this Domino's,
Nathaniel.

-(rumbling)
-(car alarm sounds)

-(indistinct chatter)
-(people screaming)

Man:
Oh, this a big one!

-You okay?
-Yeah, you?

I'm okay, too.

We made it.
We're bonded for life now.

Why the fuck would
you drop the pizza?

-It was a earthquake.
-What's that gotta
do with your hands?

-Yo, relax.
-Lifeguard:
Please evacuate the beach.

We're shutting down
in case of a tsunami.

-Are you serious?
-Tsunami?

I can't be
in another
tsunami, y'all.

I basically died.

Lifeguard:
I repeat, please

-evacuate the beach.
-I did, too.

Fuck a tsunami.
I'm just gettin' started.

(lifeguard continues,
indistinct)

(shouts):
Hold up, y'all! Y'all!

Let's hit a bar nearby!
Drinks on the shop!

Y'all wanna go
somewhere else?

'Cause we don't have
to go with them.

Um...

I'm still narrowin'
it down.

These niggas
is neck-and-neck
to see me nekked.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

Lifeguard:
Please evacuate the beach.

We're shutting down
in case of a tsunami.

(down-tempo music playing)

Hey, real talk,
I think I sensed that

earthquake before it hit.

I mean, I got chills,

-and then, five
minutes later, boom.
-(phone buzzing)

Oh, shit.
Aye, you at lot 10 right now?

Yeah, we had to leave 'cause...

yeah... yeah,
that's my bad, man.

We rollin' to Sharkeez, though.
You should come through.

Aight, bet.

Hey, Nate,
you think your girl's
homegirl was feelin' me?

Maybe. Ain't Johnny
tryin' to get at her?

Man, she wasn't
staring at Johnny.

Them big, sexy eyes
talkin' all that shit
with them sexy lips.

Damn. Wouldn't it
be a trip if I started
datin' your girl's girl?

Not my girl.

-She all over the place.
-What you mean?

She basically called
me over last week...

to cuddle.

Did somebody die?

Shit, I don't know.

We been friends over
the last year because

that's what she wanted,
and then, she pulled this shit.

Then she
show up today,

legs all out,
all oiled up,

talkin' about,
"We still friends?"

Women always quick
to friendzone you,

and then, want you to spoon
'em like y'all been fuckin',
but you haven't.

Exactly! Haven't!

And then, she started crying.

-Wait, what?
-So, somebody did die.

I didn't wanna do
that shit all night,

so I bounced.

Man, there must be
a reason she felt

comfortable
cryin' on you.

-What you mean?
-You do have that,

"Let me cry
on your shoulder"
energy.

You let her
friendzone you, bro.

Man, she don't know
what she want.

Bruh, she is rollin'
to the next spot.

She wants somethin'.

And, trust me,
it ain't no haircut.

Facts.

Aric:
Aye, I can't
wait to shake

Molly's fine ass up.

Hit it from the back.
Spin her around.

Give her a little part.

Get that scalp wet.
Slap that neck.

Aight, okay.

Ha ha, no.

See, I'm tellin' you.
That was no earthquake.

See, the government's
tryin' to test out
they kill switches.

-Kelli: Right! But like,
when the Earth was shakin'...
-(phone chimes)

I was already shook.

Issa:
Are you fuckin' kiddin' me?

Oh, girl, I am so hot
right now, I'm leakin'.

I had to step outside.

Right? Like, what the fuck?
Now I'm a fraud?

You know this nigga
was born in the Valley.

Suburbia niggas.
So, what you want me to do?

You know I can buzz down on him.
I'm in the hive.

You know what?
Don't even worry about it.

We good over here, baby.

We on salary now,
we gettin' money.

Quoia:
Girl, you right.

But you let me know

if you wanna start trippin'.

My bags stay packed--
Oh.

Oh, shit.

Issa:
Okay, bye.

That's why I buy a new
phone every other week.

Switch it up.
Shock the system.
Stay off the grid.

I call it
the three S's.

I wish the fourth S
was "silence."

Kelli:
I know I didn't
really die,

but it still made me
wanna look inward.

And then, you know
what I found out?

I got a lotta shit
goin' on inside.

-Ain't that part of the journey?
-Kelli: Mm-hm.

Resha:
It's like, at the end
of the day,

don't we all just
wanna be okay?

Kelli:
You know what?
Those are good questions.

Oh, shit.

I got a podcast
about questions.

You tryna be a guest?

Resha: Ooh, I love
existential shit.

Girl, I minored
in philosophy
before beauty school,

so I stay askin' questions
and turnin' over stones.

-Even heavy ones.
-Kelli: Oh, shit, honey.

My papa was
a rollin' stone.
I gotta unpack that.

(laughing)

Hey, Resha.
Quick question.

-Resha: What's up?
-You fuckin' Nathan?

What? Girl, no.
That's like my brother.

My blood.

But I bet he
could fuck good.

Are you tryin' to smash?
'Cause I could set that up.

I'll circle back
if I need you.

-Sounds good.
-Kelli: So, anyway, like

when my neighbor's
cat died,

it was like it,
it was mine.

-You know what I mean?
-Resha: I feel you.

Kelli:
And I still see his ghost.

-Resha: That's so deep.
-Kelli: You know what
I'm sayin'?

And I'm just like,
what does that mean?

If your pussy a ghost,

-is my pussy a ghost?
-Resha: Wow.

Kelli: Like, put that together.
You know what I mean?

Do you journal?

-Resha: I do. (exclaiming)
-Kelli: You do?

-Nah--
-But why did you
leave me like that?

Uh, well...

I mean, the taco trucks
was about to close.

What'd you want
me to do, Iss?

I guess I just expected you
to be there when I woke up.

I ain't know we
had expectations
for each other.

I probably shouldn't
have kissed you.

That was my bad.

No, no.
It's, it's my fault.

Uh, 'cause I shouldn't have
asked you to spend the night.

Well, then...

that's settled.

Ayeee!

(laughs)
Hey!

Thomas: Shiiit!

Aye, y'all see
Prison Bae over here?

-Can I get your autograph?
-(laughing)

-Shut the fuck up.
-He do look like him, though.

What's up, cousin?

Hey, Nathan.

Good to see you, Velma.

-Hi.
-Oh! Oh, shit, yeah.

This is my cousin, Thomas,

and this is, uh,
this is his wife.

(all say hello)

Hey, sorry about
the whole last-minute

-location change, man.
-Don't even trip.

Aye, you never
know where a night

with Nate Dogg
gon' take ya.

-Yeah.
-(laughing)

Might end up on the back
of a milk carton. (laughs)

(softly):
That's funny.

Uh, yeah,
so we just, you know,

chillin' here 'til
we get our food,

we gon' get
a real table.

How long are
you guys in town?

Oh, we live
in Lawndale.

Oh, you got
family here?

How did I not
know that?

Yeah, man, I, I stayed
with them for a minute,

before I moved in
with Andrew.

How about we catch up
to y'all with them shots?

(down-tempo music playing)

(indistinct chatter)

Houston people
really claim
Paul Wall like that?

Hell yeah, we used
to see Chamillionare

and him at the club
all the time.

Yo, remember when
we drove to South By
to see them?

And that one nigga
sold us them t-shirts,
but they said--

-Both: "Calamari-onaire."
-(laughing)

That sounds delicious.

Every-fuckin'-body
was at that party.

There was like
after-parties
in the parkin' lot.

-Wow!
-That was my whole
college soundtrack.

I even got a grill
'cause of them,
but it didn't fit,

so I kind of just
had to suck on it.

-Anyway, I know y'all had fun.
-We did...

until Nathan
abandoned my ass.

Oh, shit. Here he go.
I done apologized for this
so many times.

-Wait, what happened?
-This nigga just
ran off into the night.

He swore he was gonna
be their tour manager.

-I had to hitchhike home.
-Yeah, that sound like Nathan.

He be gone
with the wind,

like a little
light-skin leaf.

-Ooh.
-You do be wearin' leaf colors.

(laughs)
Look at him!
About to blow away.

-(blows)
-(laughing)

Well, I'm so glad
the wind blew him my way,

'cause I used to be
all over the place,

but he inspired me
to put down roots.

Turn me into a whole tree.
(laughs)

'Cause you had said leaf--
I was buildin'--

-It was an analogy--
-We got it.

Ah, shit.
Jason Derulo's havin'
a party in Palos Verdes.

You fuckin' lyin'.

(sings)
Jason Derulo.

(laughing)

You a fan of Derulo?

I'm a fan of parties.

So you tryna roll?

Damn, I wanna go,

but I gotta let my cat out.
You know how that is.

But you should come through.
Mr. Jingles is cool.

This nigga focused
on the wrong cat.

Hey, Aric...
I'll roll with you.

-Bet.
-Hey, Kelli, we tryna go--

(crying)
It is-- It's time

to find the answers,
you know?

Are y'all okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We good.

-Y'all go ahead.
-We're having
a breakthrough, y'all.

-I think we gonna need
some more taquitos.
-More taquitos, please.

Okay.

Aye, aye, you should come.
It's gonna be like

15 minutes
down the road.

Babe, you wanna go?

You know what?
You guys should just
go and hang out.

-You sure?
-Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm gonna go home,
relieve the sitter.
You guys have fun.

Okay?

-Yeah, I'mma walk her out.
-Okay.

-Bye, everybody.
-(all say goodbye)

Kelli (crying):
I had this dream,
and my Mom was in it,

and she was a hamster
on a wheel, right?

And I ain't have no food,
so I ate her.

So what does that mean?

You know,
like my past
is inside of me.

I don't know.

-You comin'?
-I think I'mma head home.

Lyft?
When you order a Lyft?

When your boy
started tearin' up
over not gettin' in.

(laughs)

Well, I mean,
I ain't gonna abandon you.

If that's what
you're worried about.

No, man.
I'm old now.

I don't have
your energy.

Aight.
I know Velma got you
on a tight leash.

Nah, she wanted
me to come out.

-She happy we hangin' again.
-You ain't gotta cover for her.

-I know she don't fuck with me.
-No, Velma loves you, man.

That's why she
kicked me out?

-No place to go.
-Come on, man.

I'm lyin'?

That wasn't on Velma.

What you mean?

Look, we don't have
to get into this tonight.

Nah, I mean,
we in it, bro.

To be honest...

I'm the one who
didn't feel comfortable
havin' you around.

I mean, you showed up
with practically no warnin'.

Then you'd be gone
for days on end,

or come home
in the middle
of the night.

You'd leave
the door unlocked.

I got kids, man.

That ain't me
no more, man.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry I didn't
tell you straight-up.
I just...

didn't really know
how to handle it,
or what to say.

And Velma thought
it'd be easier if we
just put it on her.

I gotta go.
We should keep talkin'.

I'll call you, okay?

Oh, he left?

Well, Molly's
gettin' us in.

Oh, Moe's inside
already, obviously.

Uh, yeah, I need a minute.

Oh... okay.

(down-beat music playing)

You okay?

I was manic when
I lived with them.

And I ain't know it
at the time.

And you haven't
told him yet?

Nah, I ain't
talked to them
since I moved out.

I just wanted him to see
I got my life together.

But fuck it.

Can't change how
nobody see me.

Yeah.

I get that.

Can't change how
you see me either.

What? Me?

Me crying wasn't about you.

It caught me off guard, too.

I guess I was
just overwhelmed.

Last year was
a lot for me.

And now, I feel like
I'm just always waiting
for the other shoe to drop.

I'm scared to get my hopes up.

And I...

I know I've been
afraid to admit it

because I don't wanna
look stupid, but...

I don't wanna just
be friends with you.

I don't wanna be friends
with you either.

-(rumbling)
-(car alarm sounds)

-You felt that?
-Yeah, I felt that.

Woman (shouts):
Earthquake!

(laughing)
