[soft mystical music]

[old film playing]

[woman screaming]

[man]: You will freeze as you
watch a warped scientist

when his bloody scalpel
probes the forbidden secrets

of a woman's flesh.

You will flame
at the stark ritual

of a beautiful girl's
last searing dance

as tragedy forever mars
her loveliness.

You will cringe
as the demented doctor

experiments with a girl's
trusting innocence.

[phone clicks, swooshes]

A mad creature born
of the atomic age

now shackled to a world
of rotting bodies

and violent deaths.

A sadist, a criminal,

a depraved animal
more ferocious than Jekyll,

more monstrous
than Frankenstein,

more bloody than Dracula.

Um, I'll do a large
popcorn and Red Vines.

That's an unusual choice.

Thank you.

[woman screaming in film]

I don't think I've actually
ever seen someone buy Red Vines.

Okay.

I guess you're wondering
why we sell them, then,

if nobody buys them.

Thanks.

[man on film]: Forever closer

comes the She-Creature.

[light guitar music]

[phone dings]

[♪]

[Margot]: Hey. Where are you?

My room, obviously.

Taylor, did you even
go outside today?

Why would I do that?

No, I had to stay here
and moderate.

Which subreddit
is this again?

The Vagenda. Get back here.
Help me with this.

Okay. If I'm not back
in five minutes,

call campus security.

Haha. Bleak.

Being a girl is so fun. Bye.

Bye.

[insects chirping]

[distant dog barking]

[bottle clinking on pavement]

[dog panting]

Hey, boy.

Hey.

You all alone?

Okay, okay.

Good boy.

[dog panting]

[thunder rumbling]

I don't know.

We can try.

But you have to be
so good, okay?

Okay.

What do you think
you're doing?

Oh, hey, Laura.

How's it going?

It's about to start
pouring, so...

So let's just bring
some weird dog into the dorm?

He's not weird.
He's abandoned.

Look, he's, he's not
gonna bother anyone.

You know the rules, Margot.

No pets, ever.

[sighs]

Come on.

Thanks.

[rain pattering]

[woman speaking softly]: Please.

[dog whining]

Help me.

Help me.

[tense music]

Help.

[dog whining]

Help.

[loud thud]

[eerie music]

[light clicks]

[growling]

[barking]

[gasps]

[knocking]

Hey.

Just making sure you didn't
sneak that dog back in.

[scoffs]

[eerie music]

[door creaks, closes]

And since I'm the founder
and moderator,

it's my job to protect
its integrity.

Right.
You don't want some dumb forum

that's just girls
discussing sex tips.

Right, since that's just
internalized misogyny,

and it's boring, and stupid.

Okay, but get this:
my co-moderator, LadyTalk,

suddenly chimes in,
citing a statistic

that 76% of women
are "into" dick pics.

Really? 76% sounds high.

First of all,
why would LadyTalk,

my co-moderator,
let's not forget,

even bring up
the dreaded dick pic

knowing how hard we've worked
to create a safe space?

And then I think to myself,

"What self-respected femme
even names herself LadyTalk?"

She's trying to be
ironically old-fashioned?

She's a guy.

You think LadyTalk is a guy?

Huh. So now what?

I'm gonna call his ass out.

Will you eat in the room
tonight with me

and help me with this?

I can't tonight.
I gotta work.

Just call in sick.

Margot, will you call in sick?

♪ Well you are
such an easy evil ♪

[funky music]

♪ Such a sensuous sin

♪ Sometimes I don't know
where I'm going ♪

♪ Till I've been

♪ Taken in

♪ Such an easy evil

[music fades]

♪ Such a promise of fun... ♪

[eerie music]

S-sorry. You scared me.

Well, people choose
to be scared.

Did you see the queen?

She still has her wings.

That means
she's still a virgin.

Really?

Usually a girl
that popular is,

you know, active.

It's up to her to decide
when to copulate.

Maybe she doesn't
want to be rushed,

and the male
will have to obey.

She'll fly off and mate
with many partners.

A whole colony
for her pleasure.

[chuckling]

I hope you don't mind
I opened this.

I saw the box
was from Tarquinia.

Oh, yeah,
generally I don't allow it,

but you're my favorite,
you know that.

These are very precious bones.

For example, what do you make
of this crack, hm?

Doesn't seem like
a natural fracture.

Mm-mm.

It's almost like
someone sawed it.

Do you think she was
offered up as a sacrifice?

The tomb of the wolves
was in the business of death,

torture, sacrifice,
and, of course, eroticism.

If all that happened to her,

hope she was reincarnated
as an ant.

Better yet, in a queen bee.

When the male
penetrates the queen,

he loses his penis.

In the act of pulling out,
he gets disemboweled and dies.

The act of copulation
is their doom.

[old film playing]

[man in film screams]

[man]: Under his spell,
she was both herself

and another being,

the She-Creature
seeking life sustenance

from the stolen
heartbeats of others.

You came back.

I did.

Large popcorn
and, uh, Red Vines.

[man in film]: She was a woman
born to be loved,

and two men wanted her.

One, a man whose
powerful math mind

controlled her every reflex,
except her love.

The other willing
to fight any odds...

$9.50.

I know.

You're getting better
at your job.

Managed not
to insult me this time.

Well, I'm up
for promotion, so...

Enjoy the movie.

Thank you.

[man]: Such as few people
have known,

and only those
who see it can believe.

[film continues indistinctly]

I don't really know
what I'm going for.

I know he's a killer.
And now you are traveling...

[woman]: What's wrong?
You're a tough guy.

Go ahead and cream me.

Break my arm. See if I care.

I'm just gonna keep it
for a little while.

You're an ogre,
just like my father.

He won't let me stay out late
or play records or anything.

[man]: Your father won't
let you stay out late?

No, he's terrible.

Once, I was at a party,
and it didn't end till late.

He called the cops.

Can you imagine?

He had the whole
police force...

I was hoping you'd find me.

I know.

[man]: Where is it
that you live, Carol?

[Carol]: Over on Armana. Why?

Oh, no, uh-uh.

You thought I'd tell you
where I live?

Not me. Not ole Carol.

The night is young,
and I'm not hittin' the rack

till I get a little action.

[man in advertisement]:
I eat popcorn.

Everybody eats popcorn.

It tastes real nice.

Get yourself some now
at our refreshment stand.

Yum, yum.

It's time for a tasty
and refreshing snack.

[upbeat music plays
in advertisement]

Oh, hey.

So fun fact about
"American Graffiti."

Mackenzie Phillips was 12
when she made that film,

which probably violated
child labor laws,

but she is really funny

and, you know,
precocious for 12.

Yeah. Yeah, listen, uh...

Concession Stand Girl...

Why don't you give me
your number?

Look at that, he owned it.

Are you defending

Who says he's a troll?

And people lurk in forums

BitchPerfect.

Yeah, but that's
clever and funny.

Ladies, final dress is...

[sings]: Tonight!

[normally]: I need you to help
us spread the good word

if you can.
That would be so helpful.

Thank you, babes.
- Sure.

Sure. Would love that.

[phone clicking]

Is that that guy
Robert again?

Wait, you never said
where he goes to school.

He's, like, 25.

I'm sure he just works.

25, but he's still, uh...
he's still cute, right?

Ish. He's, like, super tall.

But I like tall.
- You love tall.

And his eyes are nice.

They crinkle.
- Yeah, 'cause he's old.

What about the texting?
He got good banter?

It's good so far.

He's smart and funny,

and he has cats,
Yan and Mu.

He's at the vet
with them right now.

A caretaker.

God, Yan and Mu
are so hilarious.

How can cats be funny?

Well, I mean,
Robert's hilarious.

- Oh.
- Yeah, when he's talking

like them.
- Pause.

He does cat voices?

Oh, that is adorable and sexy.

Mrow!

Wait, you're setting clear
text boundaries, right?

- Oh, my God, Taylor.
- I'm dead serious.

Remember what we said?

I won't double text, okay?

- Don't double text, ever.
- I got it.

And let one text, at least,
go unanswered a day.

Okay, he needs to understand
that you're setting the rules

and he's lucky you're
acknowledging his existence.

I get it.

Thank you.
- Good.

Or you could just have
a good time with him.

I mean, Dave and I,
we barely knew each other

when we joined the Madrigals.

Hm, and look at you now,
you're a character

that doesn't even have
their own name.

You're just the Baker's Wife.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Uh, my character doesn't
have a name either.

I'm just the Baker.

At least you have a job.

My point is,
Dave and I were just real easy

about it when we first met,

and look at us.

We've been in love ever since.

[both singing]: We changed...

We're strangers...

I'm meeting you
in the woods.

Who minds.

What dangers.

I hope we'll get

Hey.

Uh, how's it going?

Good. You?

Uh, yeah, it was, like,

two miles from that...
that, uh, parking lot.

Told you it's far.

Yeah, it's-it's a trek.

Um...

So as promised...

Bamm-Bamm Fruity Pebbles?
[chuckles]

Yeah, I had to go to two
different Krogers to, uh...

to find that,
and then the 7-Eleven for the...

the rest of the treasure.

That's so sweet.

So I'll hand this
off to you and...

Do you want to come in?

We can eat,
but only at this table.

You know, everything in here's,
like, 3,000 years old.

Yeah, it's very "Nosferatu."

Right?

Did you know
we did a vampire series

just last month
at the fourplex?

Yeah, yeah,
you included "Blacula."

Well, I didn't
include anything.

I just made the popcorn.

No, my point is,

"Blacula" doesn't belong
in the vampire category.

It belongs in blaxploitation.

Yeah, obviously,

and I did mention that
to the owners at the time.

[clock ticking]

Do you want...

Sure, yeah. Thanks.

You said you were starving,
so I got a bunch of...

Red Vines. Of course.

Ooh, I think
the Slurpee spilled a little.

Yeah, it's wild cherry.

Mm.

My favorite.

And this is...

It's a frog lighter
with a cigarette in its mouth.

So cute.

I don't smoke.

- Me either.
- Good.

Yeah.

Ow.

Stupid ant, bit me.

[loud thud]

Dead.

Murdered.
- Yeah.

Must've escaped
from the colony.

The queen's the big one,
with the wings.

Oh, that's just storage.

[eerie music]

[clock ticking continues]

[phone clicking]

[Robert]: What's this?

They're Etruscan artifacts.

- Etruscan artifacts?
- Yeah.

Pretty sure
they're just human bones.

They're both, from Tarquinia.

- Tarq...
- Italy.

Where they recently discovered
a non-funerary burial site.

Mm. Buried with no funeral.

Sacrificed.

Fucking dark, I know.

See this first skull?

It was probably a slave
who was decapitated.

Then just her body was buried

at the base
of the temple wall.

Her body meant
to provide support,

in a sacrificial annihilating
kind of support way.

[door clicks]

[ominous music]

Why did you shut the door?

I-I didn't.

It-it shut on its own.

Doors don't just shut.

No, I-I guess this one did.

It must've slipped from
the thing that was holding it.

[door rattles]

I think it's locked.

Or...

[ominous music]

I did it on purpose

because I'm actually...

a werewolf.

[chuckling]

Good idea for a series
at the fourplex,

werewolf movies.

Yeah, and the filing cabinet
scene from "The Howling,"

that's about
to happen right now.

I just meant a door
doesn't just shut

or lock on its own.

[door rattling]

You sure you didn't close it?

Here, can I...

[Margot panting]

[grunting]

Hold still.

Don't make this hard.

[Margot gasping]

Hey, hey.

Just... just take it easy.

No, get off me!

Just let me, okay?

[thudding]

[gasping]

[glass shattering]

[ominous music]

Seventeen years
I nurtured this colony.

I know, and I'm so sorry.

Here, here is the queen,

dead.

Dead, whoever you are.

Sorry, uh, Robert,
this is Dr. Zaballa.

Dr. Z, this is Robert.

I was...
I was just stopping by, uh,

but I'm... I'm so sorry
about... about that colony.

That was a thing of beauty.

The worker ants, they fought
hard to defend the queen.

They're all females.

Right.

Oh, you know that?

Are you a myrmecologist?

- Myrmecology is...
- Is the study of ants, I know.

Um, I'm not, but I do...
I know a bit about them.

Then perhaps you know

that the males did nothing
to defend the queen,

but they dug their own grave,
haven't they, Robert?

Because a colony
without the queen will die.

[clock ticking]

I just wanted to say thank you

for the great snacks.

No problem.

So my fall break
starts tomorrow,

so I'm gonna go back
home for a while.

I hope you'll text me.

Will you?

I...

Look, it wasn't you
that made me react

like that, okay?

I'm really sorry.

And...

I hope tonight doesn't count
as a first date.

Oh, we don't have to count it.

Let's not count it.

Hot washcloths on the bites,

to stop the itching.

Don't use ice, okay?

Okay.

Have a safe trip back
home, and, uh...

I'll see you soon, sweetheart.

Who are you texting?

Oh, is it a boy?

Oh, she's finally

Mm-hmm.
His name is Robert.

My first affair was with

You're having an affair?

Could we please focus

In six hours.

You are not old enough
to have an affair.

Okay, can we all just
stop saying "affair"?

It's not even what this is...

yet.

And Robert is a very
interesting man.

[Kelly]: Oh, a man.

So he's older?

Maybe he's mature.

Or maybe he's not.

In fact, Robert and I
might even move in together.

We'll have a sweet little home

where people will want
to come over and hang out

'cause it's so warm
and inviting and nonintrusive.

Okay, you're texting a man

that you're gonna live with.
I want to talk to this Robert.

Hey, Ernie, honey,
could you give us that little,

um, card that you wave
to start the car?

Kelly, honey,
this is my birthday.

Stop hammering me
about the damn car.

Oh, about tonight,

I don't want any reference
to which birthday this is,

okay, no announcement
about the fact

that I got one foot in the box.

You've got 300 pounds of ice

in the shape
of a six and a zero.

[door clicks]

Let it melt.

[phone swooshes]

[Kelly]: Why not?
It'll make him so happy.

[Margot]: Because I don't
want to sing tonight,

and it's a dumb song.

Dumb?
Marilyn Monroe sang this song.

Yeah, well, things have
changed a little

since Marilyn's day.
- Oh, you know, don't make--

don't make me tired.

I-I read.

I talk to the girls at the gym.

Yeah, things have changed
on the surface,

which means they haven't
really changed at all.

That's something that girls
your age don't understand.

Oh, my God. Here we go.

"Girls my age."
- Yes, girls your age.

I don't know,
you're so self-involved.

You're so entitled.

I mean, is it,
is it your birthday,

or is it Ernie's birthday?
- Are you serious?

I just said I didn't want
to sing the song.

It's weird.
It's uncomfortable.

Oh, well, you know what?

Things aren't always
100% comfortable.

Get over it.
And you know what?

If you, if you want
to get along with a man

and not be alone
your whole entire life

and build a relationship
that actually lasts,

make peace with a little
discomfort now and then,

a little compromise, okay?

I wish, I wish I had known that

the first time around,
with your father.

- Mom.
- He thought he wasn't

my number one,
and there's a few things

I should've done
to let him know.

Mom, it's not
your fault he left.

It isn't.

You know, I get it.

If you don't want to sing,
we won't sing.

I think I really like him.

- So?
- Hm?

What about you?

Anyone special?

- Um...
- Any... any guys?

Oh, yeah, right,

last time we talked,
I was exploring sex with men.

Um...
- You're not still?

Uh, what I've realized,
actually, is...

I'm an ace...

Uh, which is what
asexuals call themselves.

Do you remember
when we were together

just how, like,
out of my body I was,

how I could never really,
like, enjoy sex?

So I thought I must be gay,

and so then I tried that,

and then that was just,
like, even weirder.

Like, all of this, like,
bizarre pressure to,

like, perform and to,
like, be this, like,

sexual Tarzan or something,
and it felt awful.

So then I looked it up,

and it turns out
that being asexual is,

like, a real thing,

and since then,
I've just felt this relief

because I finally don't have
to pretend to like sex anymore.

Is-is that okay for me to say?

- Oh, my God, yeah, of course.
- Okay.

Of course. I...

But it's not like it was
because of, like, you.

If you'd been the hottest
girl in the world,

I would've still been, like...

And-and not that you're not.

Not that you're--
- Okay.

- Because you are.
- Clay, I get it.

Okay.

Stop looking mortified.

Somebody's got to stop you.

You know, I could really

I'm worried he misinterpreted
a text I sent.

Text you sent?
What does that mean?

No. A pic?

No. What...

Tit, ass, pussy?

What?
- No, of course not.

Look, it doesn't matter

I just don't want
to play games with him.

Right, so you'd just rather

Seriously, this is me

- So difficult sometimes.

You could be a little

Come on, admit it. Sometimes

Occasionally, maybe.

Stop that.

Stop what?

My hands are dirty.

My hands are dirty too.
What are you afraid of?

Afraid?

You're trembling.

I'm not trembling.

You like me

There are no scoundrels

I happen to like nice men.

I'm a nice man.

No, you're not. You're--

Sir, sir, I've isolated
the reverse power flux
coupling!

[laughing]

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Oh, you're perfectly
welcome, sir.

[action music plays]

[indistinct chatter]

So, uh, do you want
to get a drink or...

We could get a drink, I guess.

If you want.

What's up?

Nothing.

Just tired.

I'm sorry. I g...
Yeah, I guess you hated it.

It's the first romantic movie
I ever saw, so I-I figured...

It was about sharing,
it was about sharing

something with her that I love

that's romantic because...

Because your feelings
for her are romantic.

Margot is bright.
Margot is sophisticated.

She knows about movies.

She goes for the subtitled
stuff, like Japanese films.

Maybe she's just
smarter than me.

And that's intimidating.

You don't have to apologize
for the movie.

There were lots of great
moments in it,

like, uh, when Leia says
"I love you" and Han says...

- "I know."
- Yeah.

Classic, right?
- "Hahn. Hahn."

- "Hahn?"
- You said "Haan."

- Sorry.
- Yeah.

Um...

Yeah, I love that.

It was a good idea,

and a drink
is an even better idea.

Okay.

Now we're talking.

So where do,
where do you like to go?

I like Sonny's.

Sonny's, the student ghetto?

I'll take you someplace better.

I'm sorry.

Don't, don't be sorry.

I'm the one that's sorry.

You must think
I'm such an idiot,

crying 'cause
I didn't get into a bar.

No, no, no, no.

No.

No, I don't think that at all.

I must look awful.

There was something
about that cool,

crisp autumnal air

and the tears
rolling down her cheeks.

She was just so open

and so vulnerable

and so incredibly sexy.

She had never looked
so beautiful.

What you were discovering
in that moment

was the depth of your longing.

Oh, 100%.

Tell me about the kiss.

[Margot]: I know this is your
hour and I'm crashing...

Go on.

I can handle it.

[exhales]
- It was a terrible kiss.

To be honest,
it's hard to believe

a grown man could be
this bad at kissing.

But at the same time,
I suddenly felt a tenderness,

I guess you'd call it.

I mean, here he is,
older than me,

and yet already,
I know so much more

about kissing than he does.

Hey, hey.

- Hey. No, I'm sorry.
- Easy.

Hm.

But what was that
a tenderness, Margot?

Or was that sensation a shift

in the power dynamics
between you two,

a shift that wound up
in your favor?

in my own superhero movie.

Yeah, maybe we should call you
Homo "Ha-bee-lees" Girl.

Homo Habilis? Nice.

Homo "Ha-bill-iss."
I knew that.

[Margot chuckles]
I definitely knew that.

I can read a human
evolution chart.

You had one in your lab.

So, uh, what's your
kryptonite, then,

Homo Habilis Girl?

Well, Homo habilis
was the main diet

of large predatory animals.

Ouch.
[chuckling]

Ah, well, I don't think
there are any superheroes

whose weakness is being
somebody's dinner.

Good. I like to think
I'm original.

To Homo Habilis Girl,
an original.

[chuckles]

I'm not saying I will
have sex with him.

I'm just saying if I did,

I think he'd really
like it, because--

Okay, this is gonna
sound kind of bad,

but I think he may not be
all that experienced.

[Taylor]: Dude, you're drunk.

Okay, I'm not drunk.

I've had two beers.

Three, max.

Wait, he's a terrible kisser.

Why are we even having
this conversation?

Because, okay,

maybe the sex
will be like the kiss,

you know, clumsy and sort of...

Mauling.

You can hear yourself
now, right?

But on the other hand,
I think he'd be...

[traffic whooshing]

Margot.

I know that sounds
really bad, but...

[footsteps]

Wow.

This is the worst
life decision I've ever made.

[urinating]

[Robert]: Well, what do you
want to do now?

Want to watch a movie?

I must have something
with subtitles.

Actually, I think I have
a bootleg "Working Girl"

from Belgium with English--

[movie playing]

[woman speaking French]

[man speaking French]

Sorry.

It's okay.

[woman speaking French]

How old are you?

33.

33?

Yeah, is that...
is that a problem?

No, it's not a problem.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Okay.

I mean, I was gonna--
I was gonna tell you,

but I wasn't sure
how you'd take it.

[Robert chuckles]

Okay.

[sighs]

To tell you the truth,

I was actually really worried
when you went home...

You know, for break...

Because...

I kind of thought
that we were together--

I mean, I know it
was mostly text,

but I thought that we were
starting something, and then,

well, I guessed that you were
committed to me

or not commit-- But, like,
a little committed to me.

And so...

you went home,
and then this weird loop

kept playing in my head
that was like,

a girl as pretty as Margot,

she definitely went out
with some stud boyfriend

in high school,
and I kept thinking,

she's definitely gonna
hook up with this guy,

despite what's happening
between us,

and then you sent that--

that photo of your breasts,

and then you said
it was a mistake,

and I thought,

that's definitely for that
fucking total douche boyfriend,

and, you know,
you're probably considering

fucking him if you weren't
already fucking him.

And now I know that was...

obviously wrong, and I should've
just trusted you.

My former boyfriend
is asexual now,

as in doesn't want to have sex
with anyone ever again.

[Robert scoffs]
- Well, that's--

that's good to know, because I--

I think we're really
good together.

I mean, I had a good
time tonight.

Didn't you?

Yeah, I did.

- Yeah.
- Um, but I should...

probably go now.

N-no.

No, you got to stay over.
- I can't.

No, I'll make you scrambled
eggs in the morning.

Thank you, but, um,
my roommate will be worried.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

Right. Got to get
back to that dorm.

Yep, 'cause that's...
that's where I live.

[engine revving]

[Robert, softly]:
Why don't you like me?

Why don't you like me?

Why don't you like me?

Answer me!
Why don't you like me?

Why don't you like me? Why?!

[thunder booming]

[seatbelt clicking]

Here I am.

Hey.

Glad we got to go on our date.

Guess that was our date.

Okay.

[keys jingle]

[phone dings]

Oh, God.

[soft music]

[indistinct chatter]

So... how was it?

Great, if you like a guy

that spends ten hours
a day on YouPorn.

So what was his go-to move,
the reverse squatting cowgirl?

Don't make me relive it.

Or that awful hand thing

where their fingers are,
like, moving so fast

that your vagina
starts to smoke?

[chuckles]
- What is that?

Right now, I just have to
figure out what I'm gonna do.

Block his number.

That's a little harsh,

and even if I did ghost him,
how long till he got the hint?

Maybe his messages
will keep coming forever.

Maybe they'll never end.

Were his cats at least cute?

I never saw them.

Like, never?

Uh-oh. That's...

That's not good.

It is weird, isn't it?

Why would he lie
about having cats?

Because liking cats makes
a guy seem nonthreatening,

harmless, sensitive, even.

He lied because that's how
he wants you to think he is.

Think about it.

He's hiding something.

[phone dings]

So fucking not.

[groans]

[breathing deeply]

One of us has to die.

[horn honking, tires screeching]

[man clears throat]

Hey, Robert, my workload has
become really overwhelming

since I added
Pre-Columbian Histories

to my already packed schedule,

so I really need to focus
on my studies right now.

It's actually quite serious,
because my parents

have threatened
to "turn off the tap,"

their words, unless I
keep up an A average.

Wait, I'm sorry,
have you had a stroke?

I know.

It's... it's too long.
I need to cut it.

Uh, yeah, you need to put us
all out of our misery

and just say,
"I'm not interested."

I can't say that, Taylor.

We had sex.
I have to say more.

- No, you don't.
- I do.

He's a nice guy,

sort of.

And what did he really
do that's so wrong

except be bad in bed

and maybe lie about having cats?

In a way, I kind of miss him.

Okay, my head
is gonna explode.

Not the real Robert, obviously,

but the guy I was texting
with when we first met.

I really liked that guy.

Yeah, it's easy to like
a text chain. It's not real.

Hey, I never opened
the video he sent me.

Great, now's your chance
to delete it.

You're trembling.

I'm not trembling.

[Margot]: It's sort of sweet.

It was the first movie
we saw together.

It's the only movie
you saw together.

He was really into this scene.

I happen to like nice men.

Leia's rocking
that mono-braid,

but my favorite
was always the side buns.

That's exactly what I said,

not that Robert
was remotely interested.

Oh, wait, there's more.

Wow. It's a montage.

- "Blade Runner"?
- Yeah, classic scene.

Rachael tries to run,
Deckard throws her

against the blinds,
forces her to say, "Kiss me,"

and then shoves
his mouth on hers,

and then she falls in love.

Jesus.

"Last Crusade,"
Indiana berates Elsa,

forces himself on her,
and then she says,

"How dare you kiss me?"

And then, of course,
she kisses him.

I guess this is just
Robert's idea of romance.

Taylor!

No. Taylor!

[grunting]

No, come on, Taylor,
this isn't funny!

Taylor, I'm so serious
right now.

I'm really, really, really,
really, really serious, Taylor!

You're welcome.

Oh, my God.

He's gonna read that.

It won't kill him.

[soft music]

[gun clicks]

You okay? What do you need?

I think I have a vape.

What are you doing?
We don't vape.

You're right, we don't.

You're sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

[phone rings]

Oh, my God.

You did this. You read it.

Okay.

Uh, okay.

"Okay, Margot.

I'm sorry you don't want
to see me anymore.

I hope I didn't do
anything to upset you.

You're a sweet girl,

and I really did enjoy
the time we spent together.

Let me know if you
change your mind."

That's it.

Margot, it's over.

Oh, my God, thank God.

You handled this well.

You're a good girl.

I'm sorry. Nope, sorry.

It's too soon. You're right.

[all singing]: Happy birthday
to you! Hey!

Happy birthday to you! Hey!

Happy birthday, dear Beth.

[harmonizing]: Happy birthday
to you.

I miss my bedroom.

- This is fun.
- Is it?

And look, there's no costumes
or mime makeup this year.

I could be a mime.

I'm trapped at a party.

Look, if you want
to go, just leave.

I heard that. No, no, no.

No one is leaving.
[chuckling]

Dave's still setting up...
[singing]:... the karaoke room!

Get ready.
- Taylor, what do you think?

You, me,

"The Confrontation"
from "Les Mis"?

We could sing it.

And you're shaking your head no.

- No.
- I di... Never mind.

Speaking of confrontations, though...

Taylor, why don't
you tell everybody

what you've been up to
with your forum thing?

Taylor has been weeding
out masked men

on her subreddit, the Vagenda.

Wait, wait, wait.
What's a masked man?

Ugh, James Madley.

Wait, did I tell you
that he started

this new subreddit
that he's calling, wait...

wait for it... Man Feminist.

James Madley? I know him.

He's a super chill guy.
He's in my comp lit.

And he's a Lyft driver.

Yeah, is he the orange car
that's always parked

outside the North Gate?
- The North Gate.

Well, that's kind of cute,
actually, isn't it?

You know, guys talking about
feminism with other guys?

- Mm.
- It's progress.

Is it, or is that
just blind dudes

leading even more blind dudes?

You should be a guest
moderator on his sub.

Yeah, and then they'd at least

have one female voice in there.

- Yeah.
- Progress.

Yeah, no, that's a great idea.

Let's just reward him for lying.

Really good idea, guys.

[chuckles]

What?
- Okay, well,

if it's gonna be a mud fight,

I'm gonna need more booze.
- Yes, please.

- I'll come.
- You want one?

Yes, please. Yep.
Double shot. Thank you!

Yes, happy birthday.

[indistinct chatter]

The bar's that way.

It's him.

What? It's who?
Oh, my God, he really is old.

- No, don't look!
- Who? Him?

- Where?
- Don't look.

Oh, it's the guy at the theater.

Yeah, yeah, I told you about

that whole debacle, remember?

- Right.
- I don't know if he saw me.

Yeah, guy who said he had
cats and didn't have cats...

- Yeah.
- In the end.

- Look, I'm just gonna go.
- No, we'll all...

We're all gonna go, come on.

Come on, guys. Get up. Yes.
Come on, let's surround her.

Everyone just be subtle
and normal.

What?

Which one is he?

for ten minutes.

Did he approach you?

Not physically,
but he could see me.

Actually, I'm not sure if he
could see me through the doors,

but he knows my hours, so...

[ominous music]

You're gonna say he didn't
break the law.

- He didn't break the law.
- Okay,

but I also don't want to be
the next episode

of "Homicide Hunter."

"Harassing predator
singles out young woman,

pursues her,
cops ignore her complaints,

until she's found in a trash bin
behind the local Kroger's."

Or the story goes,

"Average Joe likes young pussy,

gets frustrated when she doesn't
like him back,

drinks too much,
calls her a bad name,

drives to her work to try
to plead his case, chickens out,

then figures next time,
he'll pick a less hot girl."

does do something

to break the law

- And that just zaps him?
- Yeah.

The Vipertek VTS-989,
what we got here,

it's our best seller.

Fully rechargeable.
- Mm, no, that's not gonna work.

She's at 4% with her
phone on a good day.

All righty.
We could keep it simple, then.

Two words: Smith & Wesson.

- A gun?
- A gun, gun?

Kelvin, when you
go home at night,

what planet is that?

Do you realize that you're
more likely to get shot

if you're carrying a gun,
with your own gun?

Look, ladies, I just want
to help you both feel safe.

How can I do that?

I just need to know
if I'm overreacting

or if there really is a guy
out there after me.

At least this way,
we're ready for anything.

God, this is so intense.

Are you sure a tracking device
is even legal?

Kelvin said it depends
on the state.

Oh, we're quoting Kelvin now?

Taylor, I have
to do something.

And if Robert is out there
planning to hurt me,

I have to be able to stop him,

and to stop him,
I have to know where he is

at all times.

Right, but that just means

that you have to get
that thing on his car.

Yeah.

I have to get this thing
on his car soon.

Party!
[screaming]

- Motherfucker!
- I know. A hot dog,

it's horrifying.
Cecilia is having

a You Are What You Eat Party.

You gotta come.
- And we even got you costumes.

You almost gave us
heart attacks.

Which is so fucking rude.

You just barge in here,
taking up every inch of space

with your loud, entitled voices

and your obnoxious,
meaty costumes?

I was gonna be an avocado.
[laughing]

Taylor, we're fine.

They're just inviting
us to a party.

Did they ask if we wanted
to be invited to a party?

We are.
We... We are now.

Uh, we could...
Yeah, if you want to come.

I'm sorry, we were just
in the middle of something.

What? Don't apologize to them.
Why are you always

apologizing to dudes?
- Relax.

Why do you have to make
everything into some epic

battle in your own mind?
It's exhausting.

Kyle and Lucas didn't
do anything wrong.

Clearly, this is a bad time.

So we'll be in the lounge if...

- Sorry.
- Yeah, sorry.

We'll knock next time.

What the fuck was that?

What is going on?

Why are you always
against me recently?

Nobody is against you.

God, that's all
I'm saying, okay?

Good.

Although I'm also saying
that sometimes you make it

really hard for me
to be for you.

Oh, really? Oh, well,
I'm always there for you, so...

- What? No, you're not.
- I am.

I just took you
to get weapons.

Okay, let's be honest
about what I really am to you.

A pair of ears.
A captive audience.

- Are you joking?
- No.

You're only there for me
when I agree with you.

Th... It's... Without me,
you're literally just, like,

floating around in some
YA fantasy novel.

Like, I ground you.
Do you understand that?

I'm always trying
to protect you,

because I understand
the real world, and you don't.

What, from your virtual cave?

Where no one has real names?

Where no one's a real person
because you're all too afraid

to actually step out?

Oh, right,
like how you stepped out?

How'd that go for you?

At least I tried to connect
with another human.

What do you ever do except hide?

Fuck you.

This is bullshit.

Good luck with your
Robert problem, Margot.

Can't wait for that call.

Why would I bother calling?
[door slams]

You'll be too busy posting.

[sighs]
Fuck.

[ominous music]

[ominous music continues]

I don't want to talk to you,
but I left my charger

in your room.

Margot?

Oh, my God.

[ominous music]

[dog growling]

[rattling]

Hey. Hey. Who are you?

Hey.

What are you doing?

I know that dog.

Go. Go.

That dog was outside
my dorm weeks ago.

[Margot breathing heavily]

You've been following me.

I don't... I...
What is that?

What is that in your hand?

What is that in your hand?

Give it to me.

[spraying]

[screaming]

[thuds]

[ominous music]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We need to go to the
Alphabet Streets immediately.

- Okay.
- There's this guy named Robert.

My friend is with him right now.

I-I don't know his address
or his last name,

but I just have a really bad
feeling about this, okay,

so we're just gonna
drive to the Alphabet Streets,

and we can start looking.

Okay, all right, all right, um,

all right, just breathe.

You might want to buckle up.

You know, my name's, uh...
my name's James, by the way.

[Robert]: Fuck.

What do I do? What do I do?

What the fuck
is the matter with you?

Why am I inside your house?

You were trying
to put a tracker on my car,

because apparently,
you want to see me in jail.

This is insane.
I'm just gonna go.

You're not gonna go.
You're not going anywhere,

not until I have a plan,

until I figure out
how to fix this total,

god-awful,
disastrous mess you put us in.

Everything is ruined now.

If I let you out of here
looking like that,

you're probably gonna get your
wish, and I'm gonna go to jail,

no matter what I say
about what happened here.

Everybody believes the woman.

- Trust me, they don't.
- Oh, no.

You want to see how much
of a liar you are?

"I told my parents this morning
they will meet you soon,"

with a... an emoji face
blowing a heart kiss.

"Break is boring. Good news,

we'll be in same
zip code again soon,"

with two thumbs up.

You remember sending that?

"Thank you for being
so kind last night.

You're my new favorite person."

"Today you were
my first text and my last.

Let's make this every day,"
with three questions marks

and a blushing face
with little hearts.

I went through all the texts;
there's 156 texts

that say, "I'm into you,
Robert. I like you, Robert."

Why'd you say those things?

Why did you say them
if you don't mean them?

And why'd you let me blubber on
like some lovesick asshole

when you obviously loathe me?

- I don't loathe you.
- Stop lying!

What about you?

You were stalking me.

I was stalking you?

What, a guy can't see a pretty
girl and want to meet her?

Okay, yeah, I...
So I followed you,

but only so I could
run into you.

Is that... is that a bad thing?

I mean, is that a bad thing?

I-I... Am I some kind of bad guy

'cause I just want to--
I want to fucking meet a girl?

I want to meet a girl in life
and not on a fucking app?

I don't want to meet them
through my screen?

Am I such a bad guy?

I'm sorry that
I found you attractive,

and maybe if you'd liked me,
like I thought you did,

you would've found that romantic
and not, you know,

not creepy, and it could've
been our story.

What?

The fucking origin story

that our best man
would've told at our wedding.

And by the way,
you had your eye on me, too,

at the movie theater,
didn't you?

Be honest!

Just say it! Say it! Say it!

Don't play games.

Don't play games
anymore with me.

You can't say shit,
you can't say a goddamn

truthful thing
in your fucking life.

Dumbass teenager.

You just fucking manipulated me.

I was honest.

At first.

But the night we spent here,

we just had such different experiences.

Wh-what do you mean?

You had a bad time?

What? What... What did I do?

I didn't fuck you well enough?

You should've told me that!
Tell me!

Well, when you were
texting me after,

I was just trying
to spare your feelings.

Fuck.
[hand thudding on wall]

I'm being way too loud.

I'm being way
too loud right now.

This is... This is not a--

Ugh, my eyes.

Oh, your eyes? Well,
that's also your fault entirely.

Please, can I just have
some water for my eyes?

You need saline solution,
not water.

Oh, my God, you've had
girls mace you before?

Go on. Go on.

What, so this
is a regular thing?

I'm a nurse.

Not that you ever
bothered to ask.

I don't know, maybe Ambien
mixed with Klonopin,

and I just dose you,
and I drop you off on campus,

and... and you don't
remember how you got there,

and it'd be as if this whole

hideous nightmare
never happened.

That's your plan?

That is not a good plan.

Well, because there
is no good plan.

There is no good plan.

If you walk out of here
looking like that,

it's over for me, right?

I cannot trust you.
- Yes, you can.

No, I can't!

Look, why don't we
make a pact?

- A pact?
- Yeah.

You let me go...

You let me go, I never speak
a word of this to anyone,

and we... we both forget
we ever knew each other.

Ha.

- That could work.
- No. No. No.

Robert, look, if you drug me
like some super predator...

Oh, God.

...they will lock
you up for good.

[ominous music]

Oh, my God. my eyes.

[crying]

They're burning.

Can I please just have
some of that solution?

Please, please,
I'm in so much pain.

Don't fucking move.

[ominous music]

[dog barking]

911, what's your emergency?

Hello?

No--

Hello?

[grunting]

Fuck.

[glass shattering]

[panting]

[Margot screams]

Stop. Stop.

[screaming]

[Robert groans]

[grunting]

[screaming]

Shut up! Shut up!

Get in here!

Get over here!

[screaming]

Come here. Stop.

[grunting]

Shut the fuck up. Shut up!

[Margot screaming]

[panting]

Shut the fuck up.

Shut up! Shut--

[Robert shouts]

Fuck!

[high-pitched ringing]

[glass shattering]

[tense music]

[cat meows]

[inaudible struggle]

[tense music]

[screaming]

[electric zap]

[Margot]: Get off me!

Enough!

[flames whoosh]

[smoke detector beeping]

[startled shout]

[coughing]

[Robert]: Hey! Hey!

[coughing]

Come on.

Come on! Come on!

Help! God!

[coughing]

The drain.

Come in.

Margot! Come in.

Are you fucking crazy?
You got to trust me!

Come on.

Trust me! Come on!

[coughing]

[screaming]

Open it! Hey!

Robert!

Let me in!

Robert! Let me in!

Okay, turn off Adams
onto Buchanan.

Then go down Cleveland.

Okay, what we looking for?
[sirens wailing]

Oh, my God, there's a fire.

Wait, drive toward the fire!

What? Seriously,
drive toward it?

[sirens wailing]

[fire truck horn honking]

Is your friend in there?
- I don't know. I don't know.

I don't even know
if this is the right house.

[sirens wailing]

[sounds cut out abruptly]

[soft music]

[birds chirping]

[indistinct chatter]

We didn't find anyone.

No, she hasn't responded to my
texts or calls or anything.

Did... did you check
everywhere?

It's good news
we didn't find her.

Hey, Taylor.

Why don't you let me
take you home?

I won't... I won't charge you.

I think you might
already know me.

I'm BitchPerfect.

It's nice to finally meet you.

Hey, Chief. We found
something in the basement.

Margot?

[panting]

All right.

[grunting]

We got a pulse!

On both of 'em!

Come on, let's get 'em up.

[oxygen hissing]

[Taylor]: She's up.

[Ernie]: Oh, thank God.

Hi.

I-I'm gonna go get your mom.

Uh, she took a Valium,

and she's sleeping
in the lounge.

She's so stressed about this.

[Taylor]: It's really not about
Kelly right now.

Look, I'm-I'm gonna be
right back. Your mom...

your mom is gonna
be so relieved.

You know,
and I'm relieved too, obviously.

[Taylor]: Hi. You're okay.

[uplifting music]

[birds chirping]

I don't know why
you want to look at this.

Robert Holt is taillights now.

Okay, he's gone.
It's done. It's over.

He quit his job
at the hospital.

The woman at the desk
said he moved to the coast,

didn't leave any
forwarding information.

Who knows if that's true
or not, though?

Maybe he told her to say that
in case I came looking.

One of these days,
you're gonna have to tell me

what really happened that night.

Come on. We're late
for pickleball. Let's go.

[man on film]: Then,
out of the swamp's depths

again appears horrifying,
mysterious creatures.

You've seen it, right?

- Me?
- Yeah, you know how,

like, places have, like,
employee recommends

and stuff like that?

Do you recommend
"The Apartment"?

Embarrassingly,
I haven't seen it.

You haven't seen it?
It's, like, a classic.

I mean, you know, they told me
that if you don't see it,

they're gonna fire you,
but you...

I think they show
it two nights,

so you still have tomorrow.

Well, thank you.

- Yeah.
- I'll get on that.

- No, you should.
- Mm-hmm.

[man]: To gratify their
destructive desires.

[woman screaming]

Hey, Girl Who Should See
"The Apartment," um...

Why don't you give me
your number?
