[SONG ENDS]

Oh, what do we have here?

Oh, my God, do not open that!

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa,
hold on.

Wow. You would look this good
in your damn yearbook picture.

Wait, did you quote Twilight?

I was being ironic.

Uh-huh, don't look like
you're being ironic to me.

Well, it reads as ironic now.

So I win.

It's like the great
philosopher/poet S. Meyer said,

"I decided as long
as I'm going to hell,

I might as well do it
thoroughly."

Hmm, oh, shit.
Everybody watch out.

- We got a Twilight-quoting
badass over here.
- [CHUCKLES]

Come here and I'll show you
how badass.

- [DOOR OPENS]
- [JORGE] Hello?

Okay, all right.

A couple that gets along
while they're moving.

This is disgusting.
You're making me sick.

- Good to see you too, bud.
- Mm.

Hey, if you are gonna throw up,
can you do it

- on that rug over there,
so we don't have to take it?
- Hey!

I just want to set
some expectations now, though.

I will not be much of a help.

Lifting stuff,
not my thing.

I did, however, get you a gift.

A Bible?

You know, cause you guys are
moving in together,

living in sin.

Qué escandalo.

- Okay, Pope Jorgito.
- Hey, hey, hey, open it.

Okay, okay.

[ALL] Ah...

- [LAUGHTER]
- Love it!

[JORGE] Come on,
it's not a real Bible.

- Thank you. Mm!
- You're welcome.

You know, you're the last man
I lived with.

Yeah, and it's gonna be
exactly the same,

just with less Destiny's Child
choreographed dance mixes.

Probably. Although...

[GRUNTING RHYTHMICALLY]

Okay. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Hey, hey, hey. Hey.

I'm the funny one around here,
so...

- Mm, okay.
- All right, relax, funny man.

- Mm-hmm.
- All right, I'm gonna
go down to the truck

- and load it, okay?
- Okay.

- Love you.
- Mmm! Love you, too.

Oh. Um...

I'll-I'll be back.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. See you soon.

[LILY SIGHS]

Okay, if that's him
when he walks out the door

to go downstairs,
I don't even want to know

what happens
when he goes to work.

Oh, yeah, there's not a surface
in this apartment

we haven't had sex on.

Jorge, everything feels
so right and easy!

I mean, there are
no "I told you so's."

We rarely disagree.
We both want the same things.

And best of all, he cleans
without having to be asked.

- Do you know how hot that is?
- I do.

I do, in fact, know
how hot that is. I just...

Lil, I was just wondering,

do you think that
it's a little fast?

You're sweet to be concerned.

But I'm really happy.

Forget about me.
I mean, look at you.

Today is a huge day.

I still can't believe
you finally convinced papi

to launch your food truck.

I mean, I am nothing
if not persistent.

- Well, I am proud of you.
- Thanks.

Although, I'm also pissed at you
for stealing all the primos.

You know cousins is one of
the perks of being Latino.

Yeah, free labor, zero guilt.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Let's take a shot. Come on.

Thank you, again,
for seeing us today.

Yeah, we were surprised
you didn't want to reschedule,

you know,
because of the holiday.

I don't consider
the Fourth of July a holiday.

This nation was built
on bloodshed and stolen land,

and I'm supposed to crack open
a cold one

with the boys to celebrate?

Please.

The Constitution makes it
very clear.

This day is for white men
who own property,

and I'm a Black lady.

Who rents.

So, how's this last week been?

Uh...

i-it went pretty well.

Well, we did have
a couple of bumps.

I was driving,
and I saw a couple of runners,

and it took me right back
to that place.

But we talked about it,

and I feel like
we got through it okay.

Yeah.

And I was glad
that he brought it up.

Great.

You're discussing things
as they come up.

So, how did things go
as far as physical intimacy?

We're hugging more.

Have we moved past hugging yet?

You have indicated to me
that physical intimacy is

what both of you want, and
there has been no progression.

It's just that it's been
really busy at the restaurant.

And our son is, um,
starting a food truck.

Today, actually.
It's very exciting.

And our daughter is moving in
with her boyfriend.

- It's-it's a really hectic
time for our family.
- Yeah.

Sounds like a lot of excuses
to me.

You're clearly avoiding sex.

If you want, I can provide
an assignment that might help.

Okay.

I want you to spend one day

completely focused
on each other.

No family, no restaurant,
just the two of you.

And to help move things along
in the bedroom,

or wherever you two feel
most comfortable making love--

- no judgement here,
I've heard it all--
- [SCOFFS]

I want you to try these.

Dice?

They're sex dice.

You give 'em a roll,
and whatever comes up,

that's what you do.

It's pretty sad that
we have to use dice to have sex.

And yet, here we are, Jorge.

Here we are.

♪ ♪

♪ Whoo, I woke up early...

We're gonna be there in,
like, ten minutes.

Baby, I'm not in a rush.

Besides,
my chauffeur is cute as heck.

- [LAUGHS]
- Stop it, I'm already getting
too pink as it is.

Ugh, I'm so excited
for you to meet Charlie.

I know. I finally feel ready.

This is gonna be so cute.

Is there anything I should know?

Um, well, they're really
into drawing,

so just be prepared to be
their model.

Ah, this is gonna be
such a great day.

Your friends are coming.
I already cleaned out the pool.

The weather's perfect for all
the shenanigans on the beach.

Ooh, beach shenanigans?

- [CHUCKLES]
- Yeah, not that kind,
but let's...

- Yeah, let's circle
back to that.
- Oh. Hmm.

There's this silly
group of games

that the neighborhood puts
together every Fourth of July.

And this year is the year that

Charlie and I are finally gonna
take the three-legged race.

We did pack the extra strength
sunblock, right?

Yes, my poor blanquito.

Two bottles, SPF 600,
so you can keep that pale shade.

- Thank you.
- [LAUGHING]

I work very hard on this.

[DOOR CARS CLOSE]

What? This is insane.

[CHUCKLES] Damn.

And I'm over here in
my dollar store chanclas.

Come on.

♪ ♪

[BUSY CHATTER]

[JORGE] Wow.

The cousins really did do
a good job.

Maybe I should pay them.

- You don't pay them?
- And... post.

There's no likes.

We're not getting any likes,
'cause I'm a failure

- and this isn't gonna work out.
- Okay, okay.

People are gonna come.

The truck's amazing, you know.

You just have to trust
all the hard work you've done.

Oh, when are
your parents coming by?

Oh, I told them that they're
not allowed to come today,

because I don't want them
to see anything

until it's completely perfect.

Like, I cannot let papi down.

All right? Like,
if this does not work out,

- do you understand what that
means?
- Jorge. Jorge, stop.

Alternate nostril breathing.

It's happening
in three, two, one.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Thank you.

I feel better.

God, just how are you so calm
all the time?

I mean, you've been waiting
to hear about this promotion

for, like, months, and you've
barely even broken a sweat.

Honestly,
I've just found that

spinning out is not productive
for me.

I'd rather save my energy
for the good stuff.

Like being here today
with my badass boyfriend,

as he opens
his amazing food truck.

[CHUCKLES]

What would I do without you?

You're never gonna
have to find out.

- Back to work.
- Yes, boss.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Guess who went to
your favorite juice place?

Are you trying to win
"boyfriend of the year?"

[CHUCKLES]

You're worth it.

Look at you, almost done,
only a few boxes left.

And the couch.

- And the couch?
- Mm-hmm.

I didn't realize
we were taking the couch.

I don't think you have space
for that.

Oh, we will
after we get rid of yours.

Get rid of my couch? [CHUCKLES]

Why would we get rid of
my couch? It's newer.

Plus, yours is so old,
it carries around

those strawberry candies
that only grandmas know

- where to buy.
- But mine is much
more comfortable.

See?

Plus, it's just plain dumb
to get rid of

a perfectly good couch.

Okay.

How about this?

We bring the couch,

see what looks better
in the space,

then we decide.

Okay, so, you want me
to carry an entire couch

down a flight of stairs,
lift it six feet into a truck,

drive it across town, lift it
two more flights of stairs,

just to see if it looks better?

Yep.

I'll call my parents
and have them swing by

and help us lift it
at your place.

Hmm? We got this, no problem.

We can handle anything, hmm?

Okay.

Hickey?

Get the fuck out of here.

- Oh, damn.
- [SIGHS]

I thought we were too old
for hickeys.

These dice might be
on to something.

[GIGGLES]

Well, I was saving this
for a special occasion.

I just didn't know that occasion
would be X-rated Yahtzee.

[CHUCKLES] Okay.

Shall we, uh, roll for sex?

[LAUGHS]

Okay. [CLEARS THROAT]
I'll go first.

Lick.

Feet.

Okay, not to start off
on the wrong foot, literally,

- but that's-that's
not a turn-on for me.
- Me, either.

Plus, I haven't been
wearing socks all day.

-I wouldn't want to put you
through that.
- Oh, no, no.

- [CHUCKLING]
- Okay.

- Do over.
- Yeah.

[LAUGHTER]

Massage.

Leg.

Now, this I can do.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Uh, okay.

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- Okay. [GRUNTS]

[BOTH CLEAR THROATS]

Ready?

- [CHUCKLES] Okay.

♪ ♪

That's nice.

[BOTH GIGGLE]

Real nice.

- Mm.
- [CHUCKLES]

Uh, you keep doing that,
and I'll roll.

Okay.

Kiss neck.

- Okay. [LAUGHS]
- [GIGGLES]

Oh, yeah, baby.

Oh, I like that.

- [PHONE RINGING]
- [GROANS]

- Let me just put it on silent.
- Okay.

Oh, it's Lily.
I should get it.

Oh, no, no, no.
We'll-we'll call her back.

- Okay.
- Oh, wait, she's moving.

- You should get it.
- Okay.

Hey, Lil, what's up?

Oh, yeah, no.

Of course.
We'll be right there.

- See you soon.
- [SIGHS]

They need our help.

But... [CLEARS THROAT]

...it should only take
a few minutes,

and then we'll be right back.

This was good.

Really good.

Okay, we'll help the kids
and then straight back here.

We can do both.

But only for 30 minutes.

- I'll-I'll set a timer.
- Okay.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Um, babe, I...

I know that you have to change
right now, but...

don't think you're not gonna
put that back on later.

If only so I can
immediately take it off.

Okay.

[LAUGHS]

[SIGHS]

Where are my pants?

[BIRDS SQUAWKING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

I didn't even know I had lemons
in my house.

- You didn't. I came prepared.
- Oh.
- Dad!

Charlie!

Oh, I missed you, kid.
How are you?

- Good.
- Okay, Sol, Charlie.
Charlie, Sol.

You two are the coolest
people I know, by far.

It's so nice
to finally meet you.

I've heard only
the most marvelous of things.

Yeah, cool.
Hey, it's nice to meet you, too.

Thanks for letting me crash
your weekend with your dad.

I bought you a present.

It's a Polaroid camera.

Always wanted one of those
when I was your age.

Thank you.

Why don't we break it in
with a group selfie?

- [CAMERA CLICKS]
- Love it.

I'm gonna go get some things
from the other freezer.

- There's another freezer?
- Yeah.

And you two, you just relax,
get to know each other.

This is so great.

Oh, I'm so happy!

So, I was thinking
maybe we could...

'Kay, I'm gonna go unpack.
Later.

♪ ♪

I still say the couch should
have gone in last,

so we can pull it out first,
but I'm easy breezy.

You know, that's like
your fifth time saying that.

I wouldn't describe that
as easy or breezy.

Help has arrived!

Wow.

Now we won't have to
buy toilet paper. Ever.

- [CHUCKLES] Thank you, papi.
- [JORGE SR. CHUCKLES]

Well, you know we don't like
to arrive empty-handed,

and it's all we had
in the garage.

Okay,
so we only have 30 minutes,

but we are here to help,
whatever you need.

Well, unfortunately,
we need you for the couch.

So we have to move
all these boxes first.

I can't believe you brought
that old couch.

Santiago's is so nice.

What are you talking about?

Lily's couch is the most
comfortable couch in the world.

You cannot throw away
a perfectly good couch.

Hmm?

[BIRDS SQUAWKING]

Wow, bon appétit.

Enjoy.

- [PHONE RINGING]
- Oh. [GROANS]

The hospital said they'd only
call if there was an emergency.

I'm so sorry.

I'll be, I'll be right back.

So, I hear you like to draw.

Oh, my God, yeah.

It's, like,
my favorite thing to do.

If he invented a time machine

and went back
to when I was eight.

Oh. Okay.

But I got to tell you,
I'm digging the hair.

Those streaks, so cool.

Eh, I want to shave it all off.

- Just haven't convinced my mom
yet.
- Been there.

My dad's been super cool
about everything.

My mom, too.

She just loves helping me
dye and style my hair

and stuff, so...

Um, no, totally. Of course.

I just meant,
it could be nice talking to

other queer people about it.

I have some of my friends
coming through later.

[SINGSONGY] Some of
my queer fam.

We can all hang out
if you want.

I'm good.

All my friends are queer, too,

and how old are you all anyway,
like, 50?

I know this is
the worst possible timing,

but... [SIGHS] I have to go
back to the hospital.

I'm so sorry.

I totally get it.

Besides, it'll be great
bonding time. Right, Charlie?

Whatever. The beach isn't going
anywhere, I guess.

Thank you both
for understanding.

See, this is why
you're my favorites.

Okay, I'll be back
as soon as I can. Mwah.

- [BEATRIZ CHUCKLES]
- [LILY] Okay.

- Whew.

I like it.

Are we looking
at the same thing?

- Mom, Dad, care to weigh in?
- Oh, no, no, no.

- No.
- No, no, no.

Oh! And that is
our 30 minutes.

- [ALARM STOPS]
- Saved by the bell.

Ah, but they still have
some boxes to be brought in.

And you know I hate
to leave a job unfinished.

Yes, but we have that other job,

that is also unfinished.

Of course, you're right.
We should go.

- Mm-hmm.
- We got to go, guys.

Yeah. Adios.

Oh, my God, guys,

- thank you so much for helping.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Okay. Oh, no problem.

- All right. We got it.
- Oh, that's great.

Uh, I haven't seen
Lily's room yet.

Where's she staying?

I'm kidding. [LAUGHS]

Dad!

[BUSY CHATTER]

Excuse me.

Are you seeing this?
Am I a genius?

- Or am I a genius?
- Wow.

The pendulum of emotion
from which you swing.

- Stop.
- [CHUCKLES] But yes.

Yes, you are.

Congrats to you.

No. Congrats to us.

Everyone is loving
your "Build-A-Buzz."

I mean, it's almost like we make
a perfect team or something.

Huh. How about that.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Oh, wait,
I got to capture this moment,

so I can remind you
how much you love me

the next time I forget to
put dryer balls in the laundry.

- Oh, my God, Jorge, uh...
- What?

I got the job.

You did? Oh, my God!
Holy shit! This is amazing!

- What?
- Yeah. [LAUGHING]

This is, like,
the best day ever.

We're kind of like a power
couple, now, I feel like.

Move over Sarah Paulson
and Holland Taylor.

- Oh, dibs on Sarah Paulson.
- [CHUCKLES]

Oh, shit.

Oh, babe,
you can have Sarah Paulson.

Holland Taylor is totally as
chic as fuck. Like, it's fine.

No, no. The offer is
for a different placement.

Where? In, like, a different
part of town or something?

No, in, like,
a different part of the country.

- Oh.
- It's in Los Angeles.

Oh, shit, babe.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Yeah, but you know what?
It's all good.

It's all good, because
you can totally leverage this

to find something else here.

You know, like, what about
that bougie place that's

- down the street...
- W-Wait, whoa,
what do you mean?

I mean, this is
a great opportunity.

It would practically double
my salary.

Yeah, but it's in L.A.

You're not...

you're not actually considering
taking this, are you?

Jorge, this could be a huge
turning point for my career.

I...

So you'd leave Portland.

I at... I at least want
to think about it.

You do realize that
leaving Portland

means leaving me, right?

Okay. Yeah.

I am doing the work, Bea.

But I got to be honest,

I can't stop picturing you
with that guy.

What are you picturing?

Us running side by side?

Because that's all we did.

Oh, believe me, I wish I wasn't,
but it's all I think about.

Him and his Harvard sweatshirt,

talking about
digital ad campaigns,

hitting all four quadrants,
whatever the fuck that means.

Oh, my God, did you google him?

You are feeding your brain
garbage.

Why are you doing that?

Because I can't go and stab him,
that's why.

Jorge, you need to stop.

You keep treating me like I had
an actual affair

and was having sex with him,
when you know I wasn't.

- But you would have.
- You don't know that!

I have taken responsibility
for my part in this,

and I have apologized
a thousand times

for putting myself
into a messy situation.

And I am doing the work
of finding my way back to you,

but you have to stop
playing victim

to an affair
that never even happened.

It's still betrayal,

Okay, and perhaps
when we're done unpacking,

I can unpack a little
something-something.

[CHUCKLES] Dude,
you don't know my life.

Just because we're both queer

doesn't mean
we have to be BFFs.

My dad really likes you,
which is great.

Because, before you, he was
kind of this huge sad sack,

and you seem chill, I guess,

but I think he's got it drilled
into his head

that you and I are gonna have
some immediate, magical bond

just because we both hate
the gender binary or whatever.

I hear you, but so what

if they are not immediately
obsessed with you?

Now, I know you have
this compulsive need

- to be adored by everyone...
- I do not.

You can't even go to
a restaurant

and enjoy a meal if you think
the waitress doesn't like you.

Okay, and don't you
still deliver treats

to the hospital
staff workers every week?

Baby, you've been there
over a year.

I think they fucks with you
by now.

They work hard.
They deserve it.

Most people do love you,

and that's why you're so
unprepared for this moment.

Okay, so I'm not great
at being disliked.

But who is?

I mean, I just don't get it.

I come bearing gifts and smiles

and all types of queer
and trans anecdotes.

Like, what else
does Charlie want from me?

Sol...

have you ever thought
to ask Charlie that?

Ask them what they want?

[SIGHS SOFTLY]

Okay, look,
the good thing is,

there's still time
to bounce back, okay?

The day is still young.

So young, it's still going
to GSA meetings

- as a straight ally.
- [LAUGHTER]

Also, hello.

You've witnessed and been
a part of enough queer drama

- to know that transness alone
doesn't make us all friends.
- Mm.

So...

I think we need to be
a little more curious

and make less assumptions.

You're right.

Cute!

- [SANTIAGO] Wow. Amazing.
- [LILY GASPS] This is huge!

You're a star!
We all knew it.

- Hey.
- Hey, buddy.

- How's it going?
- Everything's great.

You know, I would normally
let you guys cut,

but you're not paying,
so you're gonna have to wait.

- Okay. Okay.
- That's fair.
- I'll see you guys later.

- [BUSY CHATTER]
- [MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]

[GASPS] Oh, my God.

Andres and Anni are
getting married!

[SANTIAGO] Oh, yeah, that.

You know,
he just wanted to cash in

- on the free fireworks.
[LAUGHS]
- Wait.

I can't believe you knew
about it and didn't tell me.

That's-that's so exciting!

- Is it?
- You don't think it's exciting

that your best friends in
the world are getting married?

I think you're hangrier
than I am.

No, no, I just think
marriage is stupid.

I think it's impractical,
it's expensive,

totally unnecessary.

[CHUCKLES] Hold up.

Are you saying
you don't want to get married?

I do not.

Like... ever?

Correct.

So, what,
we would just be, like,

boyfriend and girlfriend
in our 60s?

"Oh, how long have you guys
been married?"

"Oh, no, we've been dating
for 37 years."

Look,
I think it's totally possible

for someone to be committed
without being married.

It's just a piece of paper.

Oh, really?

So, what about your diploma?

Or the deed to your car,
or, I don't know,

a hundred-dollar bill?

Those are pieces of paper, too.

It's the meaning
that's important.

It's almost as if
our society functions

on meaningful pieces of paper.

Yeah,
that's a fundamental flaw.

[SIGHS]

Okay, don't make me seem
unreasonable

for wanting a thing
that most people want.

I want a commitment that
the person I'm vowing to spend

the rest of my life with
will do the same.

You know those vows are
meaningless, right?

People break them all the time.
I mean, you-you do know that?

Okay, not my grandparents
or my parents.

Well, great.
So maybe we should just

act like everything is okay,
just like they do.

- Excuse me?
- Look, I saw
your parents fighting.

Your entire family
hides everything,

'cause God forbid anyone
ever admits something's wrong.

If something were wrong,
I'd know about it.

Okay, just because
your parents got divorced

doesn't mean
every marriage is stupid.

And they ended up back together.

- If anything,
you should be hopeful!
- Hopeful?

I-It's one thing
to be hopeful,

but it's a whole nother thing
to live in a fantasy world.

I think it's crazy to me that
people make a promise today,

based on who they're gonna be
20 years from now,

when they have no idea
who that person's gonna be.

Holy shit.

I gave up my apartment
and half my shit

because I thought we were
on the same page.

I thought your skepticism
and your negativity

were about protecting yourself

because you've been
hurt so much in the past,

but this...

...this is actually who you are.

And I don't know
how I feel about that.

Lil, what's up?

Hey, Santiago.
What can I get you guys?

The tacos de lengua are fire
today, man.

You know what? Uh...

I lost my appetite.

I'm gonna go for a walk.

I didn't mean to pull focus

this is a dream opportunity

- It's what I want.
- Yeah.

I guess I just hoped that

It does.

And that's why I want you

Move with me to Los Angeles.

Henry,
I can't just leave my family.

And this truck, I just started.

I love you.

Please come with me.

Hey, mind if I sit with you?

It's a free country.

So, I've been
pretty annoying, huh?

You're right,
I don't know your life.

You're a part of this amazing
and bold generation,

and things are
a lot different for you

- than when I was your age.
- What were things like for you?

I mean, everything just wasn't
as out and open as it is now.

None of my friends were queer

or at least weren't
talking about it, either.

And I didn't see queer
or transness

reflected anywhere around me.

So this weekend... [CHUCKLES]

Guess I just tried to be
the adult I wish I had.

I'm not mad at you or anything.

It's not...

It's not really about you.
It's just that...

this house is
pretty special to me.

Here,
things have always been easy,

even with puberty and all
the weird body stuff last year.

I could come jump in the pool
and just float.

In the water, I don't have
to be a boy or a girl,

or dress a certain way,

or worry about what people see
when they look at me.

I just am.

You know what's weird?

What?

You're saying you didn't have
enough support

when you were a kid, and...

and I kind of feel
like I have too much,

which I know is a privilege,

but I also don't need
my mom constantly sending me

some random trans person's
Etsy shop.

- So...
- [LAUGHS]

So, I guess it was just a lot
to come here

and have you all-all up
in my grill.

My bad.

Okay. [CHUCKLES]

So, confession.

I do,
I do still like drawing.

[LAUGHS]

Like, a lot.

[CHUCKLES] Wow.

Maybe I can show you
some of my stuff later.

- I would like that.
- [WHISTLE BLOWS IN DISTANCE]

[EXHALES SHARPLY]
I can't believe it.

My parents leave town,

- and I do drugs. [LAUGHS]
- [CHUCKLES]

We did drugs.

We're so bad.

- You feel anything?
- No.

Just so I don't make
any more assumptions,

what do you want
for the rest of your life?

Last we checked in,

we wanted to retire together,

maybe get a place by the coast,

help Lily and Jorge
with their kids.

Do you still want those things?

You know what?

It's just nice to be asked.

[CHUCKLES]

And yeah, I like that plan.

Sounds lovely. [CHUCKLES]

But...

I also want to be
a person that, like,

does crossword puzzles
and actually finishes them.

Hmm.

What about you?

I want to completely refurbish
another car.

Another Mustang.

But I wouldn't drive it,
I would just sit in it

and breath in the smells.
Just... [INHALES]

[SIGHS]

Oh! And I can sit
next to you, in the car,

and do my crossword puzzles.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

Yeah, I like that.
