We Are Who We Are (2020): Season 1, Episode 5 - Right Here Right Now V - full transcript
I can't
believe they're getting married.
Tomorrow, he'll be on the C130.
It's not the way it used to be.
Something really is changing.
Are you a Muslim?
I used to be a lot of things.
I don't know who I am anymore.
Jonathan knows my name.
- Bye, Fraser.
- Bye, M... Major.
So, transgender is
like you go from female to male?
It's not that simple.
It's not even binary.
Harper.
Why do we keep buying
this honey-flavored shit?
Turns the milk a shade of beige.
Maggie, why do you always
buy the Honey Nut Cheerios?
I thought you liked the golden box.
Don't forget we
have that meeting
with the Italian
delegation this afternoon.
I can't. I have to help
with the new arrivals today.
You can't spare an hour to
save your wife's behind?
Mmm! Mm!
I love the smell of that hair.
It's
crazy. I told him, for that price,
they can keep
the heated mirrors.
And then they always try to
screw you over with the accessories.
Always.
They can't bamboozle me.
Fuck that.
Is Danny still sleeping?
Why didn't you teach that
boy to get out of bed?
Why can't you do it?
Danny! Danny!
Go tell him nicely!
Jenny,
please! You tell him. Danny!
- He's gonna be late. Danny!
- Could you please stop yelling?!
I'll stop when
I see him dressed.
Danny!
You might want to
have lunch at the mess hall today.
I have to show some
apartments outside the base.
You're not
coming to see the pickup?
...You're not
coming to see the pickup?
Oh shit.
Morning.
Danny, champion of the world!
Thanks for checking out my bike.
I won't be needing it today.
Hey, got a secret, bro? Huh?
Yes, so shut up.
Thought you were still asleep.
- I'm always up this early.
- That's news to me.
Bye. See you later.
- Bye, Mom! Bye, Dad!
- Hey!
- Where you off to so early?
- I gotta go.
Coming!
- Let's do this!
- Okay.
I'm picking up
the new truck today.
- What?
- The new truck.
I'm picking it up today.
Cool.
- Morning, ma'am.
- At ease, soldier.
Which background would you like,
ma'am?
The desert's fine.
Nowadays, we only
fight in the desert.
Try and relax your body as much
as possible and empty your head.
It helps to lower
your heartbeat.
Keep the stock firmly in
the pocket of your shoulder.
- The position and hold...
- Must be firm enough to support the weapon.
Good soldier. Aim.
Good job, soldier.
You're a natural.
It's good.
Mom, can I get a ride?
- I can't. I have to meet...
- Okay, sure.
After all these years,
I still don't know if I hate you or not.
I have an idea, actually.
Major Teixera has
offered to accompany us
on her morning off.
- Hey, Jonathan.
- Hello.
Hi, how's it going?
...plus, an induction microwave,
that is if you're comfortable
using one of these.
Seems more and more people are
refusing to use them these days.
I even use mine to make pizza.
But you have to know just
how long to keep it in.
Otherwise, the crust
becomes all, ah, soggy.
- Place got a nice view.
- Just take your time.
- Okay.
- And let me know.
- Yeah, will do.
- When you're ready,
pull the door behind you.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- What do you think?
- Yeah, they all look the same to me.
Do you really cook
pizza in the microwave?
No!
I just said it to reassure them.
- Don't you think it was reassuring?
- Very.
Very.
- What? -
- I like it here.
- So do I.
- - Get here.
What are you doing?
Taking this off.
I don't know!
One, two, three,
four! One, two, three, four...
Ah! What the fuck?
- Do you smell that?
- What've you been doing,
fixing an engine?
Your mother... is a legend.
No, no,
no. My mother is an alien sent to Earth
in order to destroy
the human race.
She just so happens
to be my mother.
And I've known
her since I was 5.
I can't believe this.
She's so wasted on you.
I am so wasted on you. I mean,
look at this outfit.
Also,
found this on the bulletin board.
- "Where are you, Harper?" So what?
- So wh...
How many Harpers are there in this school,
you dumbass?
Oh fuck!
There's a number.
Should I call it?
What are you thinking? She
actually thinks you're Harper!
Don't you dare call that number.
- You're an asshole.
- Good morning.
- - And you're in math class.
- Hey, what are you doing after lunch?
- I'm going to the post library.
Okay, let's get back
to where we left off last time.
The rigid transformation
of the plane.
A transformation is considered
rigid when it doesn't modify
the point distance
and the angle width.
It's a transformation that
doesn't modify the form.
There are four
types of isometry,
so who can tell
me what they are?
- Translation?
- Rotation?
Translation, yes.
In this case,
if we draw a quadrangle,
it could be a trapezoid.
We could drag our
trapezoid by its vertex A,
or we can rotate it
like Trish just said.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Fraser.
Huh. You're the first
person who brought it back
before the end of the month.
- What are you doing here?
- In fact, give me the book back.
- Can he take it out?
- Of course.
"The Kindly Ones."
Too long?
- Actually, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is longer.
- And you read it?
Yes. Well, only half of it.
Don't tell anyone that I
recommended it to you.
You know,
it's about a perverted Nazi.
His name is Max Aue.
It's a badass book.
I'm a badass.
So are you going to take it?
I'm a badass.
What an asshole.
Fuck! What an asshole.
So, what were you saying? Who?
They were gone by the
time the Carabinieri got there.
And the owner's descriptions
match up to
practically everyone.
Do you think it was
the same troops
that broke the windows
to the taco stand?
I don't know,
but they're animals.
Jonathan...
You need to show a little
compassion to our troops.
Life far from home
is full of emptiness.
I'm sure you can feel it at times,
a sense of emptiness.
Shall I call First
Sergeant Ramirez?
Nah, forget Ramirez.
Call Poythress.
In the middle of everything,
she slithers over
to the other side of the bed,
picks up the house phone,
- and says, "Give me room 514."
- Right.
"Who you calling?" I say.
"A friend," she says. So,
fine. They answer.
"Patrice," she says,
"it's me. I'm up here with a friend.
I could use a little help.
Could you help me out?"
So wait. So,
I don't know what the shot is.
All of a sudden,
hear coming from the phone.
So fine.
I'm pumping away. The
chick on the other end
is making airplane noises.
Every once in a while,
I go boom! And the broad
on the bed starts going crazy.
Moaning and groaning,
she's about to go
the whole long route. Humping and bumping,
she's screaming,
"Red Dog One to
Red Dog Squadron!"
All of a sudden,
she screams, "Wait!"
She wriggles out,
leans on the bed,
- pulls out this five-gallon jerrycan.
- Right.
Opens it up. It's
full of gasoline.
So,
she splashes the mother all over the walls,
whips a fucking Zippo out the flak suit,
and whoosh!
The whole room is up in
flames. So the whole fuckin' joint
is going up in smoke,
the telephone's going rat-a-tat-tat.
The broad jumps back
on the bed and yells,
"Now, give it to me! Give it to me,
for the love of Christ!"
I figure this broad is crazy.
I'm in the hall,
whole fuckin' hall is full of smoke.
Just above the flames,
I make out my broad. She's singing,
"Off we go into the
wild blue yonder!"
The elevator arrives,
and the whole fuckin'
hall is full of firemen.
- God, those fuckin' fire...
- That's enough, Cate.
She's almost done.
You are interrupting her
right at the apotheosis.
Why did you choose this passage?
'Cause you asked for
something old-fashioned.
- Yeah, let's christen this thing!
- Alright, so do it!
Three, two, one!
Okay, okay,
quiet down now! Look at me!
I'm the cowboy that's gonna
ride this beautiful horse!
Hey, look. There's Kritchevsky.
What the fuck does he want?
I ain't never
seen this dude smile.
Like he's always
sucking on lemons.
- I must bring you to the Colonel.
- Sure.
Here.
Number 802, you're up.
Get that right there.
Michiko Kakutani.
I have a
chili dog and large fries.
Michiko Kakutani.
Cheeseburger and fries? 86?
So, Michiko Kakutani said
that the book is unrepentant.
Now,
why would a Jew like Jonathan gimme a book
about a psychotic Nazi?
Seems a little
too... postmodern.
What?
I don't know.
- They're dating now?
- Number 92, your order's up.
- Wanna go? Wanna leave? - No.
Now, they're kissing. Okay,
let's go.
Cate!
You're upset.
No.
I love him.
I've always loved him.
Sure.
It's completely out of context!
Look at it at
the time. I'm not looking at anything now.
I'll look at it at the time.
What I've seen... what I've seen is so bad.
First of all...
Richard!
Heard you got a new truck!
I had a Chevy Silverado
when I was stationed in Albany.
- 450 horsepower?
- 420 horsepower.
- Alloy rims? - Right.
I had stock wheels,
regretted it over time.
- What's the payload?
- I can haul 1,500 pounds.
Excellent.
So listen,
we have a problem downtown.
What's the problem, ma'am?
How's your Italian, Richard?
I can get my point across.
Cate's Italian's perfect.
It's easier for kids.
I studied a little French in college,
and Portuguese,
of course, 'cause of my wife.
You speak Jenny's language?
I know how things were
under the previous commander,
but now we're gonna
uphold a higher standard.
Let's see what happens
with the Carabinieri, but
these show how the pizzeria
in Chioggia was ravaged
the night of the parade.
That's why you're gonna
apologize to this gentleman.
Me?
On behalf of your men.
They insulted America.
Just how do you know that?
I know my men, ma'am.
...is beyond the pale.
Congressman Carlos
Curbelo of Florida
says peaceful transfer of power
and acceptance
of election results
is fundamental to our
democracy and Constitution.
This cannot be undermined ever.
And Senator Lindsey
Graham said...
Here they are.
Richard was working
in Nigeria as a contractor.
It's okay.
He was strange.
That little baby suited him.
It was as if Danny was his.
- Can you price this for me?
- Sure.
Price
check at cashier number four.
Please price check
at cashier number four.
I was alone, I made a choice.
Was I wrong?
I like the smell of cumin.
Once, he told me he felt strange
because Danny's
become taller than him.
Ha, I told him most children
are taller than their parents.
...Me,
I'm taller than my own mother.
What about Danny?
Does he accept
Richard as his father?
It's hard to understand
what Danny feels.
Wanna sit here?
Coffee? - Jennifer: Yes.
- Do you want donuts?
- Always!
43. Number 43.
My aunty had to escape
at night from Kano.
She wasn't in that way.
That way how?
Homosexual.
But she had two
friends who were.
There, you're even punished if
you don't report homosexuals.
I'm not...
Hey, hey!
You're not that way?
Look! It's Danny! Danny!
He's with Valentina.
Was that his name already?
We decided on Danny.
Plain and simple.
Americans can't
pronounce Nigerian names.
What about you?
I'm Jennifer, plain and simple.
Order 47!
Are you done? Can I come in?
Shut the door. Shut the door.
- - Let me hold it.
- No! - Please.
...It's not gonna
turn you on or anything, is it?
No.
Don't squeeze it!
This is wonderful.
I wrote to her.
- Who'd you write to?
- Giulia.
The note.
Oh God, here we go.
- I'm ready.
- No, you're not. You're not ready in the slightest,
and none of the stuff that you're
thinking means anything anyway.
Then what does?
- And then cut that up...
- Dev Hynes isn't just a musical genius.
He's a genius. You
gotta read this interview.
- He was bullied in school.
- Mm.
All the most creative
people were bullied in school.
He says they called him a
misogynistic tranny online.
- I mean, that's absurd!
- Hm.
"I remember a
fight I got in with someone
"after I played the
show in Boston right after
the release of the
Blood Orange album."
- I also loathe Boston.
- Really?
"They're like,
'I love your music, man,
but why did you have to put
a fucking tranny on the... '"
Fuck them! - Caitlin: Uh-huh.
Oh my God, he's gonna
be playing in Bologna in December.
Hm?
Blood Orange? Really?
- This won't stay on.
- Practice makes perfect.
The more you do it,
the easier it'll...
Gimme your phone. We're going.
Okay, I put a reminder.
How the fuck are we
gonna get to Bologna?
Fuck!
- Gimme some more.
- No, you look good like that.
- No, I don't. It needs to be fuller.
- Wow.
Do you really think that being
male means... means knowing how
to shoot guns and pee standing
up and have shitty facial hair?
This is not what I
had in mind for you.
Surprise,
I exist outside of your mind.
You're cliché and retro.
Wear this.
Put it on.
Sorry your mother prefers
spending time with me.
Anything's possible. You know,
we get each other.
Surprise! You can go on your own,
you ungrateful bitch!
It's the hair. This fucking
hair! It's never gonna work!
You are your hair.
It's what people love about you.
Do you have clippers?
Clippers? Nobody
here has clippers.
- My dad does. - What? What...
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
No,
your dad's gonna kill us! Stop moving!
- Uh... - What?
...Let's go. Come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.
Hold on. Okay. Wear these.
He keeps them in here.
Okay, no...
Ah!
Here it is.
This is a terrible idea.
You know how to do it, right?
Of course I know how to do it.
Wait! No, no, no...
You have to use scissors first.
- What? - Scissors first.
Okay? And...
Gonna cut right here.
- How long have you been growing it out for?
- Since I was 6, more or less.
- Are we really doing this?
- Yes.
Okay...
I'll be grateful.
I'll be grateful for
the rest of my life.
Okay.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Holy shit.
- Holy fuck!-
Oh my God! Okay, okay, okay.
More, more,
more. Okay, I'm alright.
- Okay, okay, okay. -
Oh my God! Oh my God,
oh my God...
- Has it ever been this short before?
- No! No, it hasn't...
- Oh my... I just told you...
- Don't yell, don't yell.
Okay, okay, okay.
- What do I do? Razor?
- Uh, yeah. Yeah.
You better not have lice
or Imma fucking kill you.
- Sure, yeah. Okay. - Oh my God.
- Okay. Uh-huh. - You ready?
Three, two...
- - What the fuck?!
- Oh! Hold on.
- Okay, okay, okay. Ew.
Wait, hold on.
Here.
- Oh my God, oh my God!
- Holy shit!
Oh my God. Oh boy.
Oh my fucking fuck! Oh my God! Okay. Okay.
Fuck!
I can't believe we did this!
I can't believe
they're actually here.
- I can't do this. I can't do this.
- Yes, you can. Just do it.
Just do it.
Alright, wish me luck.
Where's Fraser?
He's at the movies with Cate.
Interesting family,
don't you think?
And that poor girl.
Why poor girl?
She's a complicated child
and they're a little... basic.
Am I basic to you?
You're my wife. Come here.
Gimme some of that beer.
- Where you been? - Danny...
- Did you spend the day with Maggie?
- I was out shopping.
How long have, um,
you and her been friends?
They are neighbors.
I try to be polite.
How is Valentina?
You know those women
aren't good people.
My father was a Muslim,
wasn't he?
Your father, Richard,
is a Christian.
How many things are you
gonna turn your back on
in a single lifetime, Mom?
Danny...
My father, Richard,
is in the garage!
Sweetheart?
I can't remember
the way you used to do it.
- You've never been good at these.
- Only with the right hand.
Cate used to do it, didn't she?
What, Lubabah?
You haven't called me
that name in 16 years.
- Lubabah. - Please...
don't say that name.
You know I'm here for
you. I'm always here for you.
Danny, too?
You said you'd always be there.
As if he was yours.
Haven't I always done that?
Has he ever lacked anything?
He's still waiting for you.
"Origin of Evil"...
Uh, one for "Origin of Evil."
What?
"Ouija."
The next screening's in,
uh, 40 minutes.
Naiomi.
What will the Ouija board say?
Theater 3.
I'd get an even
bigger size if they had one.
I only like
sweet and salty popcorn.
Sweet popcorn? That's weird.
Sitting up front?
Too close and my neck hurts.
- I'm gonna go to the back, okay?
- We're back here!
- Okay. See you later. - Bye.
- See him? - Oh yeah. Okay.
So now we share a mortal secret.
The origins of evil?
Going to the movie
theater alone together.
...So,
you want to be a fashion designer?
- Is that right?
- Who told you that? No, no, no.
I don't wanna be a fashion
designer. It's more like...
- I don't wanna be a fashion designer, no.
- It's more like what?
Explain.
Alright,
do you know Demna Gvasalia?
I'm afraid I don't.
Okay, well,
he's the head designer for Vetements,
and now he designs for Balenciaga,
okay?
And he's Georgian,
alright? So he remembers the war
from when he was a little boy,
and he does this
collection for Balenciaga...
And here, lemme show you.
Here. Alright? He...
brings the memory of war into...
He brings realism into
the fabric. Now do you see?
Maybe, but don't tell me that
you'd actually wear that stuff?
It's look like a dress!
Oh,
I'm kidding! It's interesting.
Seriously.
Stupid boy.
Now I understand
why your mom says
that you have a hard time
getting along with kids your age.
My mother doesn't know
a fuckin' thing about me.
You know,
I wanted to be a rock star.
Yeah. I planned
to be dead by 27,
be part of the club, you know?
And then what happened?
I was in Tel Aviv
with my mother.
It was me and her,
always me and her.
I was suffocating.
And so, when I was 15,
I said to her,
"Dear Mom, I'm going to
live with my father in Detroit."
Detroit seemed right for a musician,
right?
- And then what'd she say?
- She didn't speak with me for five years.
She was a hippie.
I just thought she
didn't care. She said,
"No one can really keep
anyone from doing anything.
You go,
but your father is a piece of shit."
So, I went to live in Detroit.
And it turns out, she was right.
My father was a piece of shit.
He had another family. I
was just getting in his way,
but he gave me the best
part of him: a passport.
At the age of 18,
I enlisted because the guy
at the recruiting stand
just wouldn't give up,
and all I wanted was
never to have a home again.
- I don't know a fuckin' thing about my father.
- These days,
fathers only matter to
those who don't have one.
Show me what you got!
Ah!
Woo!
Hey! What are you doing?
- Get off of there! -
- Hey! Who do you think you are?
- Whoa!
Come back here! Stop!
Hey! Hey!
Fraser?
Fraser, is that you?
What if we go back to
New York for Christmas?
How do you feel about that?
How was the movie?
She treated
me as if I was below her!
And she spoke to
me with the attitude of,
"I know what really happened
and that you had nothing do with it,
"but I'm gonna give you
shit because that's what I feel
like doing right now,
and I can!"
They're both looking down
on us! You didn't notice?
I'm not gonna let
anyone disrespect me!
We should move! I'm
serious! I don't wanna...
You raise your hands...
up to your ears...
And you say "Allahu akbar."
Allahu akbar.
And then you put your
right hand on your left wrist,
and you raise it closer.
And you start by
reciting Surah Al-Fatihah.
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
Sugaha...
It's 11:00. -
Where do you think you are, huh?
Did he make you do this?
Was this his idea?
Talk to me.
You're not leaving this house again,
do you hear me?
You're grounded for a month. I
don't want you to see those people.
They're just gonna
fill your head with shit.
You think you're smarter than me,
don't you?
But you're just a little girl.
You don't know a fuckin' thing.
You don't know a fuckin' thing.
You don't know a fuckin' thing
about what it's like in the
world for people like us.
But why'd you do it? Huh?
Answer me!
Daddy...
It's time we change this world
and ourselves.
In order to do that,
we have to know ourselves.
Are we really doing this?
Many times,
when we are teenagers,
we do something to our features,
to the way we look
that's some kind of flesh out
dramatically what
we are not able to say.
- Oh, my god. Oh, my god.
- Holy shit!
- Oh, my god. -
Oh my... fuck! Fuck! Oh,
my god. Okay.
I have never gotten my hair cut.
I've never had it trimmed.
I've nev... I was born
with a full head of hair,
so I'd... I don't know...
I didn't know what
my head looked like.
And I forgot for a
short period of time
that we were filming
a television show.
So, I started screaming.
It's really bad.
It was such
a thrilling experience,
and I love it so much.
Our subjectivity
doesn't necessarily happen
in the reflection of a mirror.
It happens in the reflection
of other people's gaze.
So,
once she has taken off the hair,
intuitively, she knows
that people will
look at her differently,
and that way of looking at her
will help her solidify what
she wants to be perceived as.
And there's so
much evolution there.
The thoughts that she's
had all her life probably
all add up,
and it's put into action.
And we both like commit it,
and we're like, "You have to be you."
I think she
definitely feels alone
mainly because she
fears of not being accepted.
And when you're not sure if
anyone else will accept you,
you kind of feel alone.
You don't know where to go
or who to turn to or who
you should actually talk about
- how you're feeling with...
- Mm-hmm.
...and finally finding
someone that just accepts you
for who you are regardless.
And, uh,
just doesn't question anything,
is really sweet. And
Caitlin found that in Fraser,
so she feels less alone with him and,
you know,
they're just being
alone together.
I know how things were
under the previous commander.
But now,
we're gonna uphold a higher standard.
That's why you're gonna
apologize to this gentleman.
Me?
On behalf of your men.
Richard doesn't like Sarah
from the very beginning.
You kinda see their
relationship get more tense
throughout the season.
He is not a fan of
her being in charge,
being his superior.
And definitely because
he is afraid of her influence
on his daughter,
and she's kind of taken his daughter
under her wing a little.
And the daughter's come
over to dinner a bunch,
and she's, you know,
befriended my son.
And, you know,
my son's a little bit of a wild card.
And he's very showy and...
And I think Richard is...
Is just very suspicious
- of our family in general.
- Very.
I don't want you to
see those people.
They're just gonna
fill your head with shit.
You think you're smarter than me,
don't you?
But you're just a little girl.
You don't know a thing about what's
it's like in the world for people like us.
That was a really big
moment where you see Richard
- kind of blow up for the first time.
- Yeah.
He's just really...
really angry,
you know, that she would do
something like this to herself
'cause he loves her, you know.
That's, like, his baby
right there.
The world is clearly divided
in two.
On one side, we have
the teenagers with their...
urgency of life and desire
and love and sexuailty
and in a way, free.
And on the other hand,
their parents,
they're the adult world,
where the attempt is to...
Is always to manipulate
feelings and urgencies
of desire issues.
How many things are you gonna
turn your back on
in a single lifetime, Mom?
I think that I am restless
in my life as a filmmaker
in trying to find the...
what makes someone.
It's less about being up to date
with the current,
and more about the old adage
of trying to understand
who we are always.
I believe that we all
go through processes
in which we really don't know
who we are,
and we really need to experiment
who we could be.
Because it's part
of the human nature
to be whoever you wanna be.
believe they're getting married.
Tomorrow, he'll be on the C130.
It's not the way it used to be.
Something really is changing.
Are you a Muslim?
I used to be a lot of things.
I don't know who I am anymore.
Jonathan knows my name.
- Bye, Fraser.
- Bye, M... Major.
So, transgender is
like you go from female to male?
It's not that simple.
It's not even binary.
Harper.
Why do we keep buying
this honey-flavored shit?
Turns the milk a shade of beige.
Maggie, why do you always
buy the Honey Nut Cheerios?
I thought you liked the golden box.
Don't forget we
have that meeting
with the Italian
delegation this afternoon.
I can't. I have to help
with the new arrivals today.
You can't spare an hour to
save your wife's behind?
Mmm! Mm!
I love the smell of that hair.
It's
crazy. I told him, for that price,
they can keep
the heated mirrors.
And then they always try to
screw you over with the accessories.
Always.
They can't bamboozle me.
Fuck that.
Is Danny still sleeping?
Why didn't you teach that
boy to get out of bed?
Why can't you do it?
Danny! Danny!
Go tell him nicely!
Jenny,
please! You tell him. Danny!
- He's gonna be late. Danny!
- Could you please stop yelling?!
I'll stop when
I see him dressed.
Danny!
You might want to
have lunch at the mess hall today.
I have to show some
apartments outside the base.
You're not
coming to see the pickup?
...You're not
coming to see the pickup?
Oh shit.
Morning.
Danny, champion of the world!
Thanks for checking out my bike.
I won't be needing it today.
Hey, got a secret, bro? Huh?
Yes, so shut up.
Thought you were still asleep.
- I'm always up this early.
- That's news to me.
Bye. See you later.
- Bye, Mom! Bye, Dad!
- Hey!
- Where you off to so early?
- I gotta go.
Coming!
- Let's do this!
- Okay.
I'm picking up
the new truck today.
- What?
- The new truck.
I'm picking it up today.
Cool.
- Morning, ma'am.
- At ease, soldier.
Which background would you like,
ma'am?
The desert's fine.
Nowadays, we only
fight in the desert.
Try and relax your body as much
as possible and empty your head.
It helps to lower
your heartbeat.
Keep the stock firmly in
the pocket of your shoulder.
- The position and hold...
- Must be firm enough to support the weapon.
Good soldier. Aim.
Good job, soldier.
You're a natural.
It's good.
Mom, can I get a ride?
- I can't. I have to meet...
- Okay, sure.
After all these years,
I still don't know if I hate you or not.
I have an idea, actually.
Major Teixera has
offered to accompany us
on her morning off.
- Hey, Jonathan.
- Hello.
Hi, how's it going?
...plus, an induction microwave,
that is if you're comfortable
using one of these.
Seems more and more people are
refusing to use them these days.
I even use mine to make pizza.
But you have to know just
how long to keep it in.
Otherwise, the crust
becomes all, ah, soggy.
- Place got a nice view.
- Just take your time.
- Okay.
- And let me know.
- Yeah, will do.
- When you're ready,
pull the door behind you.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- What do you think?
- Yeah, they all look the same to me.
Do you really cook
pizza in the microwave?
No!
I just said it to reassure them.
- Don't you think it was reassuring?
- Very.
Very.
- What? -
- I like it here.
- So do I.
- - Get here.
What are you doing?
Taking this off.
I don't know!
One, two, three,
four! One, two, three, four...
Ah! What the fuck?
- Do you smell that?
- What've you been doing,
fixing an engine?
Your mother... is a legend.
No, no,
no. My mother is an alien sent to Earth
in order to destroy
the human race.
She just so happens
to be my mother.
And I've known
her since I was 5.
I can't believe this.
She's so wasted on you.
I am so wasted on you. I mean,
look at this outfit.
Also,
found this on the bulletin board.
- "Where are you, Harper?" So what?
- So wh...
How many Harpers are there in this school,
you dumbass?
Oh fuck!
There's a number.
Should I call it?
What are you thinking? She
actually thinks you're Harper!
Don't you dare call that number.
- You're an asshole.
- Good morning.
- - And you're in math class.
- Hey, what are you doing after lunch?
- I'm going to the post library.
Okay, let's get back
to where we left off last time.
The rigid transformation
of the plane.
A transformation is considered
rigid when it doesn't modify
the point distance
and the angle width.
It's a transformation that
doesn't modify the form.
There are four
types of isometry,
so who can tell
me what they are?
- Translation?
- Rotation?
Translation, yes.
In this case,
if we draw a quadrangle,
it could be a trapezoid.
We could drag our
trapezoid by its vertex A,
or we can rotate it
like Trish just said.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Fraser.
Huh. You're the first
person who brought it back
before the end of the month.
- What are you doing here?
- In fact, give me the book back.
- Can he take it out?
- Of course.
"The Kindly Ones."
Too long?
- Actually, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is longer.
- And you read it?
Yes. Well, only half of it.
Don't tell anyone that I
recommended it to you.
You know,
it's about a perverted Nazi.
His name is Max Aue.
It's a badass book.
I'm a badass.
So are you going to take it?
I'm a badass.
What an asshole.
Fuck! What an asshole.
So, what were you saying? Who?
They were gone by the
time the Carabinieri got there.
And the owner's descriptions
match up to
practically everyone.
Do you think it was
the same troops
that broke the windows
to the taco stand?
I don't know,
but they're animals.
Jonathan...
You need to show a little
compassion to our troops.
Life far from home
is full of emptiness.
I'm sure you can feel it at times,
a sense of emptiness.
Shall I call First
Sergeant Ramirez?
Nah, forget Ramirez.
Call Poythress.
In the middle of everything,
she slithers over
to the other side of the bed,
picks up the house phone,
- and says, "Give me room 514."
- Right.
"Who you calling?" I say.
"A friend," she says. So,
fine. They answer.
"Patrice," she says,
"it's me. I'm up here with a friend.
I could use a little help.
Could you help me out?"
So wait. So,
I don't know what the shot is.
All of a sudden,
hear coming from the phone.
So fine.
I'm pumping away. The
chick on the other end
is making airplane noises.
Every once in a while,
I go boom! And the broad
on the bed starts going crazy.
Moaning and groaning,
she's about to go
the whole long route. Humping and bumping,
she's screaming,
"Red Dog One to
Red Dog Squadron!"
All of a sudden,
she screams, "Wait!"
She wriggles out,
leans on the bed,
- pulls out this five-gallon jerrycan.
- Right.
Opens it up. It's
full of gasoline.
So,
she splashes the mother all over the walls,
whips a fucking Zippo out the flak suit,
and whoosh!
The whole room is up in
flames. So the whole fuckin' joint
is going up in smoke,
the telephone's going rat-a-tat-tat.
The broad jumps back
on the bed and yells,
"Now, give it to me! Give it to me,
for the love of Christ!"
I figure this broad is crazy.
I'm in the hall,
whole fuckin' hall is full of smoke.
Just above the flames,
I make out my broad. She's singing,
"Off we go into the
wild blue yonder!"
The elevator arrives,
and the whole fuckin'
hall is full of firemen.
- God, those fuckin' fire...
- That's enough, Cate.
She's almost done.
You are interrupting her
right at the apotheosis.
Why did you choose this passage?
'Cause you asked for
something old-fashioned.
- Yeah, let's christen this thing!
- Alright, so do it!
Three, two, one!
Okay, okay,
quiet down now! Look at me!
I'm the cowboy that's gonna
ride this beautiful horse!
Hey, look. There's Kritchevsky.
What the fuck does he want?
I ain't never
seen this dude smile.
Like he's always
sucking on lemons.
- I must bring you to the Colonel.
- Sure.
Here.
Number 802, you're up.
Get that right there.
Michiko Kakutani.
I have a
chili dog and large fries.
Michiko Kakutani.
Cheeseburger and fries? 86?
So, Michiko Kakutani said
that the book is unrepentant.
Now,
why would a Jew like Jonathan gimme a book
about a psychotic Nazi?
Seems a little
too... postmodern.
What?
I don't know.
- They're dating now?
- Number 92, your order's up.
- Wanna go? Wanna leave? - No.
Now, they're kissing. Okay,
let's go.
Cate!
You're upset.
No.
I love him.
I've always loved him.
Sure.
It's completely out of context!
Look at it at
the time. I'm not looking at anything now.
I'll look at it at the time.
What I've seen... what I've seen is so bad.
First of all...
Richard!
Heard you got a new truck!
I had a Chevy Silverado
when I was stationed in Albany.
- 450 horsepower?
- 420 horsepower.
- Alloy rims? - Right.
I had stock wheels,
regretted it over time.
- What's the payload?
- I can haul 1,500 pounds.
Excellent.
So listen,
we have a problem downtown.
What's the problem, ma'am?
How's your Italian, Richard?
I can get my point across.
Cate's Italian's perfect.
It's easier for kids.
I studied a little French in college,
and Portuguese,
of course, 'cause of my wife.
You speak Jenny's language?
I know how things were
under the previous commander,
but now we're gonna
uphold a higher standard.
Let's see what happens
with the Carabinieri, but
these show how the pizzeria
in Chioggia was ravaged
the night of the parade.
That's why you're gonna
apologize to this gentleman.
Me?
On behalf of your men.
They insulted America.
Just how do you know that?
I know my men, ma'am.
...is beyond the pale.
Congressman Carlos
Curbelo of Florida
says peaceful transfer of power
and acceptance
of election results
is fundamental to our
democracy and Constitution.
This cannot be undermined ever.
And Senator Lindsey
Graham said...
Here they are.
Richard was working
in Nigeria as a contractor.
It's okay.
He was strange.
That little baby suited him.
It was as if Danny was his.
- Can you price this for me?
- Sure.
Price
check at cashier number four.
Please price check
at cashier number four.
I was alone, I made a choice.
Was I wrong?
I like the smell of cumin.
Once, he told me he felt strange
because Danny's
become taller than him.
Ha, I told him most children
are taller than their parents.
...Me,
I'm taller than my own mother.
What about Danny?
Does he accept
Richard as his father?
It's hard to understand
what Danny feels.
Wanna sit here?
Coffee? - Jennifer: Yes.
- Do you want donuts?
- Always!
43. Number 43.
My aunty had to escape
at night from Kano.
She wasn't in that way.
That way how?
Homosexual.
But she had two
friends who were.
There, you're even punished if
you don't report homosexuals.
I'm not...
Hey, hey!
You're not that way?
Look! It's Danny! Danny!
He's with Valentina.
Was that his name already?
We decided on Danny.
Plain and simple.
Americans can't
pronounce Nigerian names.
What about you?
I'm Jennifer, plain and simple.
Order 47!
Are you done? Can I come in?
Shut the door. Shut the door.
- - Let me hold it.
- No! - Please.
...It's not gonna
turn you on or anything, is it?
No.
Don't squeeze it!
This is wonderful.
I wrote to her.
- Who'd you write to?
- Giulia.
The note.
Oh God, here we go.
- I'm ready.
- No, you're not. You're not ready in the slightest,
and none of the stuff that you're
thinking means anything anyway.
Then what does?
- And then cut that up...
- Dev Hynes isn't just a musical genius.
He's a genius. You
gotta read this interview.
- He was bullied in school.
- Mm.
All the most creative
people were bullied in school.
He says they called him a
misogynistic tranny online.
- I mean, that's absurd!
- Hm.
"I remember a
fight I got in with someone
"after I played the
show in Boston right after
the release of the
Blood Orange album."
- I also loathe Boston.
- Really?
"They're like,
'I love your music, man,
but why did you have to put
a fucking tranny on the... '"
Fuck them! - Caitlin: Uh-huh.
Oh my God, he's gonna
be playing in Bologna in December.
Hm?
Blood Orange? Really?
- This won't stay on.
- Practice makes perfect.
The more you do it,
the easier it'll...
Gimme your phone. We're going.
Okay, I put a reminder.
How the fuck are we
gonna get to Bologna?
Fuck!
- Gimme some more.
- No, you look good like that.
- No, I don't. It needs to be fuller.
- Wow.
Do you really think that being
male means... means knowing how
to shoot guns and pee standing
up and have shitty facial hair?
This is not what I
had in mind for you.
Surprise,
I exist outside of your mind.
You're cliché and retro.
Wear this.
Put it on.
Sorry your mother prefers
spending time with me.
Anything's possible. You know,
we get each other.
Surprise! You can go on your own,
you ungrateful bitch!
It's the hair. This fucking
hair! It's never gonna work!
You are your hair.
It's what people love about you.
Do you have clippers?
Clippers? Nobody
here has clippers.
- My dad does. - What? What...
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
No,
your dad's gonna kill us! Stop moving!
- Uh... - What?
...Let's go. Come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.
Hold on. Okay. Wear these.
He keeps them in here.
Okay, no...
Ah!
Here it is.
This is a terrible idea.
You know how to do it, right?
Of course I know how to do it.
Wait! No, no, no...
You have to use scissors first.
- What? - Scissors first.
Okay? And...
Gonna cut right here.
- How long have you been growing it out for?
- Since I was 6, more or less.
- Are we really doing this?
- Yes.
Okay...
I'll be grateful.
I'll be grateful for
the rest of my life.
Okay.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Holy shit.
- Holy fuck!-
Oh my God! Okay, okay, okay.
More, more,
more. Okay, I'm alright.
- Okay, okay, okay. -
Oh my God! Oh my God,
oh my God...
- Has it ever been this short before?
- No! No, it hasn't...
- Oh my... I just told you...
- Don't yell, don't yell.
Okay, okay, okay.
- What do I do? Razor?
- Uh, yeah. Yeah.
You better not have lice
or Imma fucking kill you.
- Sure, yeah. Okay. - Oh my God.
- Okay. Uh-huh. - You ready?
Three, two...
- - What the fuck?!
- Oh! Hold on.
- Okay, okay, okay. Ew.
Wait, hold on.
Here.
- Oh my God, oh my God!
- Holy shit!
Oh my God. Oh boy.
Oh my fucking fuck! Oh my God! Okay. Okay.
Fuck!
I can't believe we did this!
I can't believe
they're actually here.
- I can't do this. I can't do this.
- Yes, you can. Just do it.
Just do it.
Alright, wish me luck.
Where's Fraser?
He's at the movies with Cate.
Interesting family,
don't you think?
And that poor girl.
Why poor girl?
She's a complicated child
and they're a little... basic.
Am I basic to you?
You're my wife. Come here.
Gimme some of that beer.
- Where you been? - Danny...
- Did you spend the day with Maggie?
- I was out shopping.
How long have, um,
you and her been friends?
They are neighbors.
I try to be polite.
How is Valentina?
You know those women
aren't good people.
My father was a Muslim,
wasn't he?
Your father, Richard,
is a Christian.
How many things are you
gonna turn your back on
in a single lifetime, Mom?
Danny...
My father, Richard,
is in the garage!
Sweetheart?
I can't remember
the way you used to do it.
- You've never been good at these.
- Only with the right hand.
Cate used to do it, didn't she?
What, Lubabah?
You haven't called me
that name in 16 years.
- Lubabah. - Please...
don't say that name.
You know I'm here for
you. I'm always here for you.
Danny, too?
You said you'd always be there.
As if he was yours.
Haven't I always done that?
Has he ever lacked anything?
He's still waiting for you.
"Origin of Evil"...
Uh, one for "Origin of Evil."
What?
"Ouija."
The next screening's in,
uh, 40 minutes.
Naiomi.
What will the Ouija board say?
Theater 3.
I'd get an even
bigger size if they had one.
I only like
sweet and salty popcorn.
Sweet popcorn? That's weird.
Sitting up front?
Too close and my neck hurts.
- I'm gonna go to the back, okay?
- We're back here!
- Okay. See you later. - Bye.
- See him? - Oh yeah. Okay.
So now we share a mortal secret.
The origins of evil?
Going to the movie
theater alone together.
...So,
you want to be a fashion designer?
- Is that right?
- Who told you that? No, no, no.
I don't wanna be a fashion
designer. It's more like...
- I don't wanna be a fashion designer, no.
- It's more like what?
Explain.
Alright,
do you know Demna Gvasalia?
I'm afraid I don't.
Okay, well,
he's the head designer for Vetements,
and now he designs for Balenciaga,
okay?
And he's Georgian,
alright? So he remembers the war
from when he was a little boy,
and he does this
collection for Balenciaga...
And here, lemme show you.
Here. Alright? He...
brings the memory of war into...
He brings realism into
the fabric. Now do you see?
Maybe, but don't tell me that
you'd actually wear that stuff?
It's look like a dress!
Oh,
I'm kidding! It's interesting.
Seriously.
Stupid boy.
Now I understand
why your mom says
that you have a hard time
getting along with kids your age.
My mother doesn't know
a fuckin' thing about me.
You know,
I wanted to be a rock star.
Yeah. I planned
to be dead by 27,
be part of the club, you know?
And then what happened?
I was in Tel Aviv
with my mother.
It was me and her,
always me and her.
I was suffocating.
And so, when I was 15,
I said to her,
"Dear Mom, I'm going to
live with my father in Detroit."
Detroit seemed right for a musician,
right?
- And then what'd she say?
- She didn't speak with me for five years.
She was a hippie.
I just thought she
didn't care. She said,
"No one can really keep
anyone from doing anything.
You go,
but your father is a piece of shit."
So, I went to live in Detroit.
And it turns out, she was right.
My father was a piece of shit.
He had another family. I
was just getting in his way,
but he gave me the best
part of him: a passport.
At the age of 18,
I enlisted because the guy
at the recruiting stand
just wouldn't give up,
and all I wanted was
never to have a home again.
- I don't know a fuckin' thing about my father.
- These days,
fathers only matter to
those who don't have one.
Show me what you got!
Ah!
Woo!
Hey! What are you doing?
- Get off of there! -
- Hey! Who do you think you are?
- Whoa!
Come back here! Stop!
Hey! Hey!
Fraser?
Fraser, is that you?
What if we go back to
New York for Christmas?
How do you feel about that?
How was the movie?
She treated
me as if I was below her!
And she spoke to
me with the attitude of,
"I know what really happened
and that you had nothing do with it,
"but I'm gonna give you
shit because that's what I feel
like doing right now,
and I can!"
They're both looking down
on us! You didn't notice?
I'm not gonna let
anyone disrespect me!
We should move! I'm
serious! I don't wanna...
You raise your hands...
up to your ears...
And you say "Allahu akbar."
Allahu akbar.
And then you put your
right hand on your left wrist,
and you raise it closer.
And you start by
reciting Surah Al-Fatihah.
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
Sugaha...
It's 11:00. -
Where do you think you are, huh?
Did he make you do this?
Was this his idea?
Talk to me.
You're not leaving this house again,
do you hear me?
You're grounded for a month. I
don't want you to see those people.
They're just gonna
fill your head with shit.
You think you're smarter than me,
don't you?
But you're just a little girl.
You don't know a fuckin' thing.
You don't know a fuckin' thing.
You don't know a fuckin' thing
about what it's like in the
world for people like us.
But why'd you do it? Huh?
Answer me!
Daddy...
It's time we change this world
and ourselves.
In order to do that,
we have to know ourselves.
Are we really doing this?
Many times,
when we are teenagers,
we do something to our features,
to the way we look
that's some kind of flesh out
dramatically what
we are not able to say.
- Oh, my god. Oh, my god.
- Holy shit!
- Oh, my god. -
Oh my... fuck! Fuck! Oh,
my god. Okay.
I have never gotten my hair cut.
I've never had it trimmed.
I've nev... I was born
with a full head of hair,
so I'd... I don't know...
I didn't know what
my head looked like.
And I forgot for a
short period of time
that we were filming
a television show.
So, I started screaming.
It's really bad.
It was such
a thrilling experience,
and I love it so much.
Our subjectivity
doesn't necessarily happen
in the reflection of a mirror.
It happens in the reflection
of other people's gaze.
So,
once she has taken off the hair,
intuitively, she knows
that people will
look at her differently,
and that way of looking at her
will help her solidify what
she wants to be perceived as.
And there's so
much evolution there.
The thoughts that she's
had all her life probably
all add up,
and it's put into action.
And we both like commit it,
and we're like, "You have to be you."
I think she
definitely feels alone
mainly because she
fears of not being accepted.
And when you're not sure if
anyone else will accept you,
you kind of feel alone.
You don't know where to go
or who to turn to or who
you should actually talk about
- how you're feeling with...
- Mm-hmm.
...and finally finding
someone that just accepts you
for who you are regardless.
And, uh,
just doesn't question anything,
is really sweet. And
Caitlin found that in Fraser,
so she feels less alone with him and,
you know,
they're just being
alone together.
I know how things were
under the previous commander.
But now,
we're gonna uphold a higher standard.
That's why you're gonna
apologize to this gentleman.
Me?
On behalf of your men.
Richard doesn't like Sarah
from the very beginning.
You kinda see their
relationship get more tense
throughout the season.
He is not a fan of
her being in charge,
being his superior.
And definitely because
he is afraid of her influence
on his daughter,
and she's kind of taken his daughter
under her wing a little.
And the daughter's come
over to dinner a bunch,
and she's, you know,
befriended my son.
And, you know,
my son's a little bit of a wild card.
And he's very showy and...
And I think Richard is...
Is just very suspicious
- of our family in general.
- Very.
I don't want you to
see those people.
They're just gonna
fill your head with shit.
You think you're smarter than me,
don't you?
But you're just a little girl.
You don't know a thing about what's
it's like in the world for people like us.
That was a really big
moment where you see Richard
- kind of blow up for the first time.
- Yeah.
He's just really...
really angry,
you know, that she would do
something like this to herself
'cause he loves her, you know.
That's, like, his baby
right there.
The world is clearly divided
in two.
On one side, we have
the teenagers with their...
urgency of life and desire
and love and sexuailty
and in a way, free.
And on the other hand,
their parents,
they're the adult world,
where the attempt is to...
Is always to manipulate
feelings and urgencies
of desire issues.
How many things are you gonna
turn your back on
in a single lifetime, Mom?
I think that I am restless
in my life as a filmmaker
in trying to find the...
what makes someone.
It's less about being up to date
with the current,
and more about the old adage
of trying to understand
who we are always.
I believe that we all
go through processes
in which we really don't know
who we are,
and we really need to experiment
who we could be.
Because it's part
of the human nature
to be whoever you wanna be.
