00:08:35,850 --> 00:08:37,852
So, where are we?

154
00:08:39,253 --> 00:08:40,654
-Here. Yeah.
-Hmm.

155
00:08:40,788 --> 00:08:43,257
People always forget
about the east side. [chuckles]

156
00:08:43,391 --> 00:08:46,894
These are all
the railways circa 1904.

157
00:08:47,595 --> 00:08:50,364
-Wow! So you can take
a train here.
-[chuckles]

158
00:08:51,165 --> 00:08:55,102
I wish. The passenger routes
ended about 1982.

159
00:08:56,370 --> 00:08:58,339
-You're from Chicago, right?
-Mm-hmm!

160
00:08:58,472 --> 00:09:01,375
Have you taken
the Southwest Chief to,
uh, LA yet?

161
00:09:02,109 --> 00:09:03,644
No, I haven't actually.

162
00:09:03,778 --> 00:09:05,514
-Never? Oh!
-No.

163
00:09:05,646 --> 00:09:07,715
That's one of the best trips
in the world. You must.

164
00:09:08,315 --> 00:09:10,017
-All right. [chuckles]
-[Mia] Kirby!

165
00:09:10,151 --> 00:09:12,053
Duty calls. Coming!

166
00:09:18,059 --> 00:09:21,862
You give that guy one inch
and he'll talk to you
all day about railways.

167
00:09:21,996 --> 00:09:25,699
Oh, no, I-- I love seeing
how people decorate their homes.

168
00:09:27,935 --> 00:09:32,640
So, are you ready to learn about
Ben's deepest, darkest secrets?

169
00:09:32,773 --> 00:09:34,642
-What?
-Secrets?

170
00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:37,344
[chuckling] Oh, so,
when I first met
Evan's brothers,

171
00:09:38,179 --> 00:09:41,382
-they had so much dirt on him.
-Who's Evan?

172
00:09:42,783 --> 00:09:43,984
My boyfriend, Ben.

173
00:09:45,186 --> 00:09:46,320
Did you not watch my--

174
00:09:47,188 --> 00:09:50,024
Whatever. He is perfect. Mm.

175
00:09:51,392 --> 00:09:52,927
So, what are Ben's secrets?

176
00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:55,029
-Okay, hey, come on.
-Oh, so he's obsessed

177
00:09:55,162 --> 00:09:57,264
-with architecture.
-Okay, yes, I'm aware of that.

178
00:09:57,398 --> 00:09:59,667
Okay, but that's not
even the half of it.
[laughs] One year,

179
00:09:59,733 --> 00:10:01,769
-for his yearbook picture...
-[groans]

180
00:10:01,902 --> 00:10:04,405
-...he dressed up
as Frank Lloyd Wright!
-Jeez.

181
00:10:04,539 --> 00:10:06,841
-What? You did? Oh!
-Yeah, well, I had the,

182
00:10:06,974 --> 00:10:11,546
-the blueprints, the patterns,
and the necktie. It was--
-Oh, stop!

183
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,681
-You need to show me
this picture. Yes.
-No, wait. Hold on.

184
00:10:13,814 --> 00:10:16,984
Stop acting so embarrassed.
It's kind of a humble brag.

185
00:10:17,118 --> 00:10:19,353
-He loves it.
-[Mia distantly]
Liz, did you set the table?

186
00:10:19,487 --> 00:10:21,222
That is Gordon's job!

187
00:10:21,355 --> 00:10:22,723
[Mia]
We don't have time for that.

188
00:10:22,857 --> 00:10:23,991
Okay, I can help.

189
00:10:25,826 --> 00:10:26,794
She's nice.

190
00:10:28,062 --> 00:10:30,097
-I'm sure Evan is
nice to meet too.
-He is!

191
00:10:30,231 --> 00:10:33,734
-Why? Are they just not...?
-[Kirby] Well, time's changed,
things change.

192
00:10:33,868 --> 00:10:35,669
-[Mia] Okay, do you have
all we need?
-[Ben] Oh, here.

193
00:10:36,270 --> 00:10:38,607
-[indistinct chatter]
-Oh, Mom, this looks so good!

194
00:10:38,739 --> 00:10:40,341
-Nobody's saying grace
or anything.
-[Ben] All right.

195
00:10:40,474 --> 00:10:41,576
-[Kirby] We're good?
-[Ben] Smells good.

196
00:10:41,709 --> 00:10:44,044
Hey. You Cassie?

197
00:10:44,178 --> 00:10:47,281
-Hi, yes!
Um, you must be Gordon.
-Yeah. Pleasure.

198
00:10:47,781 --> 00:10:49,316
-What's up, buds?
-Hey.

199
00:10:50,284 --> 00:10:53,087
Okay. Welcome, everyone.

200
00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:54,755
Thank you for making
the trip home.

201
00:10:54,889 --> 00:10:56,423
And a special welcome to Cassie.

202
00:10:56,558 --> 00:10:58,359
-Oh, thank you!
-[Kirby] To Cassie. Welcome.

203
00:10:58,492 --> 00:11:01,195
-[Liz] Yay! Yay!
-[Cassie] Thank you, guys.

204
00:11:01,328 --> 00:11:03,030
I'm just so happy to be here.

205
00:11:03,164 --> 00:11:06,000
-[chuckles]
-And how long are you here for?

206
00:11:07,168 --> 00:11:10,871
-Um, seven nights.
So, until the 29th, Friday.
-[Mia] Mm-hmm.

207
00:11:11,005 --> 00:11:12,740
-And the wedding is Thursday?
-Mm!

208
00:11:12,873 --> 00:11:14,808
-[grunts]
-[Mia laughs]

209
00:11:14,942 --> 00:11:18,045
-[Liz] I love weddings.
-Have you ever been
to a wedding?

210
00:11:18,179 --> 00:11:21,182
No, but that Mormon couple
that I went to high school with,

211
00:11:21,315 --> 00:11:25,419
they just got married.
They posted so many pictures.
Mom, they are so precious.

212
00:11:25,554 --> 00:11:28,389
-People post
so many engagement photos.
-On Facebook?

213
00:11:28,523 --> 00:11:30,791
-[scoffs] Who uses
Facebook anymore?
-[Kirby] I do.

214
00:11:30,925 --> 00:11:33,093
-I use it for the marketplace.
-Instagram now.

215
00:11:33,227 --> 00:11:34,663
Liz, do you think
you'll hang out
with any of your friends

216
00:11:34,795 --> 00:11:37,097
-while you're home?
-No! I mean, I'll probably

217
00:11:37,231 --> 00:11:39,767
run into somebody
in town or something.
It's always the wrong person.

218
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:40,868
Never happens to me.

219
00:11:42,336 --> 00:11:43,672
Shocker. I wonder why.

220
00:11:43,804 --> 00:11:46,140
-So, how did you two meet?
-Mm!

221
00:11:46,273 --> 00:11:49,009
-He told us.
-I know, Kirby,
but I wanna hear it from Cassie.

222
00:11:49,511 --> 00:11:52,379
Okay, sure. Um,
we were both in grad school,

223
00:11:52,514 --> 00:11:54,448
and we had no classes together,

224
00:11:54,583 --> 00:11:57,184
but, um, you know,
two months later, we were...

225
00:11:58,452 --> 00:12:01,855
-...at this place in LA
and, um-- Yes.
-The Long Haul.

226
00:12:01,989 --> 00:12:05,159
-[Ben chuckles]
-Um, which is
this bar in K-Town,

227
00:12:05,292 --> 00:12:10,397
it has, you know, dancing
and an outdoor seating area
and just, you know,

228
00:12:10,532 --> 00:12:13,000
-space--
-And y-- you never see anyone
you know in LA. So, it was,

229
00:12:13,133 --> 00:12:15,469
-like, immediately exciting.
-[Mia] Mm!

230
00:12:15,604 --> 00:12:17,938
-And Cassie, are you also--
-[Liz] So then, did he, like,

231
00:12:18,072 --> 00:12:20,074
-ask you out
after that or like--
-[Cassie] Yeah. So,

232
00:12:20,207 --> 00:12:22,977
we talked a lot and then,
uh, exchanged numbers--

233
00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:25,479
-And we went out
for drinks that week and, uh...
-[Mia grunts]

234
00:12:26,715 --> 00:12:28,449
-Yeah, it was,
it was really great.
-[softly] Yeah.

235
00:12:28,583 --> 00:12:30,985
It was really
refreshing to, um...

236
00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:34,154
...you know,
meet someone that way.

237
00:12:34,989 --> 00:12:37,124
-What way?
-[Gordon] Not on an app.

238
00:12:38,158 --> 00:12:41,328
Oh. Did you guys read
that article about dating apps?

239
00:12:41,462 --> 00:12:44,699
-Uh, no. What article was that?
-Oh, wait, no, it was a TikTok.

240
00:12:44,832 --> 00:12:47,001
But they say that,
like, dating apps,

241
00:12:47,134 --> 00:12:49,870
even though they,
like, expand your pool
of potential partners--

242
00:12:50,004 --> 00:12:51,905
-I'm still wondering.
And, Cassie--
-[Liz] Um. Excuse me.

243
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:53,140
I would like to finish my story.

244
00:12:53,274 --> 00:12:54,743
You've been
interrupting me all day.

245
00:12:56,544 --> 00:12:59,280
Well, if I don't interrupt,
I don't get to say anything.

246
00:13:00,848 --> 00:13:04,418
Anyway, uh... [laughs] I was
just wondering, uh, Cassie,

247
00:13:04,552 --> 00:13:07,421
are you also, uh,
a-- an architect?

248
00:13:07,555 --> 00:13:11,859
Oh! No. Uh, actually, I tried.
It just wasn't for me.

249
00:13:11,925 --> 00:13:14,495
So, um-- now I'm actually
in real estate.

250
00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:15,963
-[Mia] Mm!
-And she's really good at it.

251
00:13:16,096 --> 00:13:17,865
Well, I-- I'm still learning.

252
00:13:17,931 --> 00:13:20,134
That's a great industry.
It's very competitive.

253
00:13:20,267 --> 00:13:24,004
-[softly] Yes.
-Okay. That's all.
I just wanted to clarify.

254
00:13:25,272 --> 00:13:26,307
Liz.

255
00:13:27,509 --> 00:13:30,978
Oh, no. No, whatever. Whatever
I was talking about, anyway.

256
00:13:31,513 --> 00:13:34,181
Ooh, Kirby! You have outdone
yourself with this steak.

257
00:13:34,315 --> 00:13:37,251
-It is delicious.
-Thank you. I'll be
your sous-chef anytime.

258
00:13:37,384 --> 00:13:40,421
-[giggling]
-Ugh. [softly] That's gross.

259
00:13:45,192 --> 00:13:47,094
Cassie,
did you get enough to eat?

260
00:13:47,961 --> 00:13:50,732
Yes. Um. Yes.

261
00:13:51,231 --> 00:13:53,467
Sorry. Yeah. No, I just
don't eat meat. So this is--

262
00:13:54,803 --> 00:13:55,670
You don't eat meat?

263
00:13:57,071 --> 00:13:58,138
Did we know this?

264
00:13:58,740 --> 00:14:01,041
-Ben? I don't--
-Um, yeah, right.

265
00:14:01,175 --> 00:14:03,745
Sorry, I, I meant
to tell you guys, but I...

266
00:14:04,713 --> 00:14:06,648
...I realized on the way here
they didn't tell you,

267
00:14:06,781 --> 00:14:09,450
and by the time
I remembered to tell you,
we were already on the way,

268
00:14:09,584 --> 00:14:11,185
and I didn't wanna
throw off dinner plans,

269
00:14:11,318 --> 00:14:13,153
-but it's, it's fine,
we'll shop tomorrow.
-Yeah.

270
00:14:13,287 --> 00:14:14,388
Wait, wait. "We"?

271
00:14:15,055 --> 00:14:18,025
Uh, yeah.
I am now also a vegetarian.

272
00:14:19,794 --> 00:14:22,831
-Does that mean no eggs or--
-No. We, we can have dairy.

273
00:14:22,963 --> 00:14:24,365
-Eggs aren't dairy.
-You know what? I--

274
00:14:24,498 --> 00:14:25,834
I could fix
something else for you, honey.

275
00:14:25,966 --> 00:14:27,334
No, no, really. I promise,

276
00:14:27,468 --> 00:14:28,936
I am so used to making do.

277
00:14:29,036 --> 00:14:30,337
-So--
-Oh, I don't want you
to just make do.

278
00:14:30,471 --> 00:14:32,172
-I mean, Ben--
-Mom, it's, it's fine.

279
00:14:32,306 --> 00:14:33,340
-Really, please.
-Yeah.

280
00:14:34,007 --> 00:14:35,777
Please. I'm so good.

281
00:14:35,943 --> 00:14:37,812
I have plenty to eat
and I am just so happy

282
00:14:37,945 --> 00:14:40,080
-to be having home-cooked meal.
-[Mia softly] Yeah. Mm.

283
00:14:40,214 --> 00:14:41,616
Why did you become a vegetarian?

284
00:14:42,216 --> 00:14:43,951
-Dude.
-What? I'm curious.

285
00:14:44,451 --> 00:14:46,153
[sighs] Well, you know--

286
00:14:46,286 --> 00:14:47,622
No, I know why you are.

287
00:14:48,255 --> 00:14:49,456
Talking to Cassie.

288
00:14:54,161 --> 00:14:57,398
Yeah. Um... well,
a lot of reasons,

289
00:14:57,532 --> 00:15:00,067
but mainly just
the environmental impact.

290
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,468
-Oh, really?
-Mm-hmm.

291
00:15:02,069 --> 00:15:05,472
I mean,
you're not in LA anymore.
This is big ag country.

292
00:15:05,607 --> 00:15:07,474
Your food transportation
distance is nothing

293
00:15:07,609 --> 00:15:10,645
that could offset
the fuel emissions
you're trying to save, right?

294
00:15:11,412 --> 00:15:13,013
Oh. Uh, yeah.

295
00:15:13,147 --> 00:15:15,282
Do you get this
from somewhere local?

296
00:15:16,150 --> 00:15:17,017
Mia?

297
00:15:17,886 --> 00:15:19,486
Um, Safeway.

298
00:15:21,790 --> 00:15:23,157
[Gordon]
Do you like the fake meat?

299
00:15:24,358 --> 00:15:26,260
-I do.
-You know who owns
the majority shares

300
00:15:26,393 --> 00:15:27,729
of those companies now, right?

301
00:15:28,563 --> 00:15:29,463
Are you aware?

302
00:15:30,197 --> 00:15:32,466
Tyson, JBS, Cargill.

303
00:15:33,167 --> 00:15:36,336
-I thought you'd know that.
-Um, sure. But, you know,
they'll follow the money

304
00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:38,272
wherever the demand is, so--

305
00:15:38,405 --> 00:15:40,174
Sure. But what's
the big difference
if it's still feeding

306
00:15:40,307 --> 00:15:41,576
the same big
polluting industry? I mean,

307
00:15:41,709 --> 00:15:43,611
that's a classic
illusion of choice.

308
00:15:43,745 --> 00:15:46,681
It's-- kind of sounds like
consumer activism, honestly.

309
00:15:49,283 --> 00:15:52,821
Um, right. Well, it's just--
it's not the same product,
you know?

310
00:15:53,487 --> 00:15:57,725
Um. You know, it takes,
like, 600 gallons of water
to make a single hamburger.

311
00:15:57,859 --> 00:15:59,928
-[Mia] Oh, 600 gallons!
-[Kirby] I've heard about that.
It's a lot.

312
00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:01,295
Did you fly here today?

313
00:16:02,062 --> 00:16:03,665
-Yeah.
-[Gordon] Into Portland?

314
00:16:04,666 --> 00:16:07,267
-Uh, Pendleton.
-So that's two flights.

315
00:16:07,401 --> 00:16:09,036
Tell me, actually,
everybody, riddle me this.

316
00:16:09,136 --> 00:16:10,538
Wha-- what has
a bigger carbon footprint?

317
00:16:10,672 --> 00:16:11,840
-Two flights or a hamburger?
-[Kirby] All right. Okay.

318
00:16:12,039 --> 00:16:13,140
-Hold up there.
-Whoa! No, no, no, no.

319
00:16:13,273 --> 00:16:14,542
I'm just a little confused
on her position,

320
00:16:14,676 --> 00:16:16,778
so I'm trying to ask
a question to clarify.

321
00:16:16,911 --> 00:16:19,046
Yeah. No, I don't disagree.

322
00:16:19,146 --> 00:16:20,582
I think we should
all fly a little less.

323
00:16:20,715 --> 00:16:21,850
[Gordon]
Or not at all.

324
00:16:24,084 --> 00:16:26,654
-Well, I don't fly every day.
-Yeah, but you drive every day.

325
00:16:26,788 --> 00:16:28,322
Everybody drives
every day, Gordo.

326
00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:30,257
Not anymore.
People work remotely.

327
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:32,627
Sorry, Gordon.
What is it that, um, you do?

328
00:16:33,895 --> 00:16:35,262
Tech support.

329
00:16:35,395 --> 00:16:37,832
There's a JavaScript site
that I run beta tests for.

330
00:16:37,966 --> 00:16:40,334
Mm. Hey, Ben, could that
work for you? Tech support?

331
00:16:40,467 --> 00:16:45,472
What? No. No, Mom, that is
completely away from anything
that I'm trying to do.

332
00:16:45,607 --> 00:16:47,575
-And I need
something consistent.
-What, you can't keep up

333
00:16:47,709 --> 00:16:49,677
-with those taxes in Cali?
-Gordon--

334
00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:54,549
Nobody calls it Cali, okay?
Only tourists call it Cali.

335
00:16:55,382 --> 00:16:57,484
-[Gordon clicks tongue]
Whatever, I don't care.
-[softly] I call it Cali.

336
00:16:57,619 --> 00:16:58,485
Yeah.

337
00:16:59,286 --> 00:17:00,287
Is that true?

338
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:02,089
Do people really call it LA?

339
00:17:03,090 --> 00:17:04,826
-[all] Yeah.
-Yeah, Dad.

340
00:17:04,959 --> 00:17:07,160
-Was that a real question?
-[Liz] Oh, my God.

341
00:17:07,294 --> 00:17:10,230
-[Ben] I-- I don't think...
-[Mia] Kirby. He was joking.

342
00:17:10,364 --> 00:17:12,734
-[muffled chatter]
-[light melancholic music]

343
00:17:22,911 --> 00:17:24,311
[faint horn]

344
00:17:24,444 --> 00:17:25,345
[Ben]
Hear that?

345
00:17:26,714 --> 00:17:27,649
Train horn.

346
00:17:29,283 --> 00:17:31,553
-It's how I know I'm home.
-Sound like your dad.

347
00:17:31,686 --> 00:17:34,022
[chuckles] You know,

348
00:17:34,154 --> 00:17:36,390
I think they like you.

349
00:17:36,524 --> 00:17:37,491
[chuckles]

350
00:17:44,464 --> 00:17:45,934
Why didn't you
tell them that I'm--

351
00:17:47,334 --> 00:17:50,004
That we are vegetarians?

352
00:17:50,872 --> 00:17:52,406
[grunts] Look, honestly, I'm...

353
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,343
[sighs] I'm, I'm really sorry,
okay? I know it's--

354
00:17:56,476 --> 00:17:59,279
I was, I was jus-- I was
so focused on getting us here

355
00:17:59,413 --> 00:18:02,349
that I, I didn't
even think about it,
didn't cross my mind.

356
00:18:05,152 --> 00:18:08,422
But you were like,
"I've told them
everything about you."

357
00:18:09,023 --> 00:18:12,225
-[sighs]
-That just kind of feels
like a major oversight.

358
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,161
[sighing] I know. I know, but...

359
00:18:15,730 --> 00:18:17,665
...it's okay. We'll
grocery shop tomorrow, okay?

360
00:18:21,603 --> 00:18:22,937
Are you serious?

361
00:18:24,237 --> 00:18:26,941
I was just subjected
to a full-on
environmental debate!

362
00:18:27,474 --> 00:18:29,911
Yeah, that's, that's,
that's just his thing.
He's a know-it-all.

363
00:18:30,044 --> 00:18:31,546
I've never met
your family before.

364
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:33,380
What was I supposed to do?

365
00:18:33,514 --> 00:18:35,583
Uh, just don't give him
any attention.

366
00:18:35,717 --> 00:18:38,452
-[scoffs] Oh.
-I mean, he's--
No, hey. He's, he's 30.

367
00:18:38,586 --> 00:18:42,090
He lives at home. And honestly,
whenever he goes off like that,

368
00:18:42,222 --> 00:18:45,893
-I just, I just ignore him.
-Okay, well, I can't give
the silent treatment

369
00:18:46,027 --> 00:18:47,629
to your brother who I just met!

370
00:18:48,195 --> 00:18:51,431
That whole dinner
became the Gordo Show,
and Ben, you said nothing!

371
00:18:51,566 --> 00:18:54,102
I know. I know, I'm sorry. It--

372
00:18:55,503 --> 00:18:59,107
[sighs] Hey,
you said it yourself,
family is weird, okay?

373
00:19:01,009 --> 00:19:01,943
But...

374
00:19:03,377 --> 00:19:05,647
[deeply inhales] I don't know,
tomorrow's a new day.

375
00:19:11,653 --> 00:19:12,587
[softly] Yeah.

376
00:19:13,955 --> 00:19:15,288
Hey, it won't happen again.

377
00:19:17,058 --> 00:19:18,126
Okay? I promise.

378
00:19:21,863 --> 00:19:22,730
Okay.

379
00:19:26,634 --> 00:19:27,635
Happy, boo?

380
00:19:32,540 --> 00:19:33,541
[deeply exhales]

381
00:19:35,543 --> 00:19:36,476
[softly] Happy, boo.

382
00:19:43,450 --> 00:19:45,318
I, uh, I got you something.

383
00:19:46,754 --> 00:19:48,455
-Really? What is it?
-It's, um...

384
00:19:49,957 --> 00:19:52,126
...it's a little
housewarming gift.

385
00:19:53,628 --> 00:19:57,397
-What? We're not moving.
-No-- [chuckles] I know,
you, you'll see what I mean.

386
00:19:58,265 --> 00:19:59,634
Well, shouldn't you
just wait until Christmas

387
00:19:59,767 --> 00:20:01,703
-and then you can--
-No, no, it's for tonight.

388
00:20:04,806 --> 00:20:06,874
Mm, okay. Um...

389
00:20:08,142 --> 00:20:09,177
Can I have a hint?

390
00:20:10,111 --> 00:20:11,079
Yeah. You know...

391
00:20:12,345 --> 00:20:13,380
...all of a sudden,

392
00:20:13,848 --> 00:20:16,084
man, I'm getting really warm.

393
00:20:17,051 --> 00:20:18,920
-You could help me out of this.
-[laughs]

394
00:20:22,557 --> 00:20:23,791
[Ben grunts softly]

395
00:20:24,792 --> 00:20:27,662
Santa came
a little early this year.

396
00:20:32,767 --> 00:20:35,103
-Oh.
-I, I thought
you liked the briefs.

397
00:20:36,336 --> 00:20:39,107
Yeah, I-- I, uh, I do. Um...

398
00:20:40,975 --> 00:20:42,944
...have you been
wearing those all day?

399
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,479
-[softly] Mm-hmm. Surprise.
-[chuckles]

400
00:20:51,251 --> 00:20:53,521
-Can we...?
-[indistinct whispering]

401
00:20:54,354 --> 00:20:56,323
-[whispering] Sure?
We just got here.
-Yes.

402
00:21:01,863 --> 00:21:04,565
-I'm glad you're here.
-Yeah, me too.

403
00:21:04,699 --> 00:21:06,734
[gentle music]

404
00:21:13,207 --> 00:21:15,777
-I like the white underwear.
-I look boring.

405
00:21:16,611 --> 00:21:17,612
Not all of you.

406
00:21:39,767 --> 00:21:40,635
[deeply exhales]

407
00:21:47,642 --> 00:21:49,677
[light tense music]

408
00:22:27,048 --> 00:22:28,583
[softly]
Is there something I can do?

409
00:22:28,716 --> 00:22:29,584
No.

410
00:22:33,588 --> 00:22:35,122
I-- I thought
I would lighten the mood.

411
00:22:55,676 --> 00:22:57,712
It just feels like clockwork.

412
00:22:59,479 --> 00:23:02,283
Like, "Oh! Now, we're alone.

413
00:23:02,884 --> 00:23:04,719
Time to have the sex
I planned, you know,

414
00:23:04,852 --> 00:23:06,821
I guess a day
in advance by wearing...

415
00:23:07,822 --> 00:23:10,625
...some underwear all day"?
I don't know how to say
no to that.

416
00:23:10,758 --> 00:23:13,027
-I just feel like a frump.
-We j-- we just haven't had

417
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,996
that much alone time
together in a while.

418
00:23:15,997 --> 00:23:17,598
I'm with you in Oregon!

419
00:23:17,732 --> 00:23:21,602
No, I mean, like,
one-on-one time, without plans,

420
00:23:21,736 --> 00:23:23,971
-after work.
-After my work.

421
00:23:25,273 --> 00:23:27,474
[sighs] Come on,
you know how hard I'm looking.

422
00:23:31,979 --> 00:23:33,147
All day long...

423
00:23:35,482 --> 00:23:36,684
...I talk to people.

424
00:23:37,551 --> 00:23:39,987
It takes all of my energy.

425
00:23:40,855 --> 00:23:42,189
And at the end of the day,

426
00:23:43,090 --> 00:23:44,358
I'm just exhausted

427
00:23:44,491 --> 00:23:46,260
and I'm in recharge mode

428
00:23:46,394 --> 00:23:49,563
and I wanna relax
and have space.

429
00:23:49,697 --> 00:23:51,866
And we used
to be really good about that.

430
00:23:51,999 --> 00:23:54,101
Yeah, but we also used
to see each other more.

431
00:23:54,235 --> 00:23:56,871
That was in the early stages
of our relationship.

432
00:23:57,738 --> 00:23:59,240
I liked those early stages.

433
00:24:03,644 --> 00:24:07,848
Look, I know it might feel
a little... skewed

434
00:24:07,982 --> 00:24:09,717
because I'm not working, but...

435
00:24:10,918 --> 00:24:12,787
...hey, it's not
gonna be like this forever.

436
00:24:13,587 --> 00:24:16,123
All right? And I thought having
the stupid master's degree

437
00:24:16,257 --> 00:24:17,625
was gonna help, but...

438
00:24:19,527 --> 00:24:20,895
...it did get
between me and you.

439
00:24:26,067 --> 00:24:26,968
I'm sorry.

440
00:24:28,970 --> 00:24:29,837
[sighs]

441
00:24:31,305 --> 00:24:32,340
We need to talk.

442
00:24:33,140 --> 00:24:35,142
Wait, no. No, no, no.

443
00:24:35,276 --> 00:24:37,211
I, I, I said
I was sorry about dinner.

444
00:24:37,345 --> 00:24:38,879
It's not about that anymore.

445
00:24:39,447 --> 00:24:41,716
Okay, but we, we--
we just got here.

446
00:24:41,849 --> 00:24:43,017
That's what I said.

447
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,255
About the sex,
but you just couldn't wait.

448
00:24:48,389 --> 00:24:49,357
And now--

449
00:24:52,860 --> 00:24:55,096
I can't wait.
I don't wanna wait.

450
00:24:58,065 --> 00:24:59,400
[shakily] This isn't working.

451
00:25:02,003 --> 00:25:03,070
Not anymore.

452
00:25:05,339 --> 00:25:07,208
And I've known that for a while.

453
00:25:13,581 --> 00:25:15,916
And I've realized
that in order...

454
00:25:17,251 --> 00:25:18,786
[shakily exhales]

455
00:25:20,454 --> 00:25:22,923
...to have the independence
that I need,

456
00:25:23,591 --> 00:25:25,860
it means sacrificing
my relationship,

457
00:25:26,494 --> 00:25:27,995
which feels awful.

458
00:25:28,796 --> 00:25:32,666
And I feel guilty
for wanting nights to myself.

459
00:25:36,237 --> 00:25:40,608
And... we are always
rushing into the next plan.

460
00:25:40,708 --> 00:25:43,411
Yeah, because
if I don't make plans,
then we don't see each other.

461
00:25:43,611 --> 00:25:45,312
Yeah, I know.

462
00:25:47,681 --> 00:25:51,318
[shakily] And maybe it's because
I don't feel the way you do.

463
00:25:52,286 --> 00:25:54,255
And I've tried.

464
00:25:55,656 --> 00:25:56,824
I've been trying.

465
00:25:57,992 --> 00:26:00,995
Me being here is--
is, is me trying.

466
00:26:03,397 --> 00:26:05,633
Sorry. Yeah, I just--
I know how I feel.

467
00:26:07,068 --> 00:26:08,903
C-- what about--
[deeply inhales] what about

468
00:26:09,036 --> 00:26:10,638
all this Christmas stuff?
Like, we have--

469
00:26:10,738 --> 00:26:12,640
I think I should just
go be with my family.

470
00:26:12,740 --> 00:26:14,942
You... [shakily breathes]

471
00:26:15,076 --> 00:26:17,278
You always complain
about how stressful
your Christmases are.

472
00:26:17,411 --> 00:26:19,013
-That's, that's--
-[crying] Do you have
a better plan?

473
00:26:19,146 --> 00:26:21,215
Can we-- can we
just talk about this?

474
00:26:23,417 --> 00:26:25,186
This is us talking about it.

475
00:26:28,022 --> 00:26:30,057
[melancholic music]

476
00:26:40,668 --> 00:26:42,837
[water running]

477
00:26:46,907 --> 00:26:48,943
[crying]

478
00:27:27,414 --> 00:27:28,517
[sighs]

479
00:27:47,401 --> 00:27:50,171
Morning, early bird.
[chuckling] Sorry.

480
00:27:50,304 --> 00:27:52,873
I didn't mean to scare you,
I'm usually the only one up
this early.

481
00:27:53,374 --> 00:27:55,876
-Coffee?
-Oh, yes, please.

482
00:27:56,010 --> 00:27:58,412
How'd you sleep? Those beds
okay? They're a little old.

483
00:27:58,547 --> 00:28:00,047
Oh, yes, yeah. Um...

484
00:28:01,148 --> 00:28:02,316
Yeah, the beds were fine.

485
00:28:02,883 --> 00:28:03,851
Uh...

486
00:28:05,085 --> 00:28:07,589
Have you talked to Ben
at all this morning?

487
00:28:08,155 --> 00:28:10,525
-Sweetheart?
-Like, did he--

488
00:28:11,192 --> 00:28:14,563
he text you last night
or something?

489
00:28:16,163 --> 00:28:18,265
'Cause sometimes, I--
I'll do that, you know, when I,

490
00:28:18,399 --> 00:28:22,637
um, want my mom
to see something the next day.

491
00:28:23,771 --> 00:28:25,472
Sorry. It's weird. Um...

492
00:28:27,241 --> 00:28:30,945
It's okay. Uh, can I trouble you
for your Wi-Fi?

493
00:28:31,078 --> 00:28:32,913
Wi-Fi? Oh, my gosh,
I'm so bad at that,

494
00:28:33,047 --> 00:28:35,416
I usually need Gordon.
Um, you know what?

495
00:28:35,550 --> 00:28:37,418
Is it just a question
I can answer?

496
00:28:37,985 --> 00:28:40,054
N-- uh, well, no.
[stutters] Um...

497
00:28:42,122 --> 00:28:43,490
I'll just be right back.

498
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,268
[softly] Ben.

499
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,107
[in normal voice] Ben.

500
00:29:03,143 --> 00:29:05,346
-Okay. Get up, please.
-[grunting and sighing]

501
00:29:05,479 --> 00:29:07,582
-Hey.
-No, seriously.

502
00:29:08,148 --> 00:29:09,183
Oh, what's up?

503
00:29:10,484 --> 00:29:11,352
Really?

504
00:29:13,087 --> 00:29:14,021
Oh.

505
00:29:15,055 --> 00:29:17,424
I'm sorry. I--
I've forgotten in my sleep.

506
00:29:19,827 --> 00:29:21,161
[sighs] I'm so tired.

507
00:29:22,363 --> 00:29:24,832
[sighs] It's 7:37.

508
00:29:24,932 --> 00:29:27,569
Your, your mom's in the kitchen
right now, and she has no idea.

509
00:29:27,702 --> 00:29:29,203
And I-- I don't know what to do
'cause I don't have service,

510
00:29:29,336 --> 00:29:31,839
-I can't look at flights, I--
-Did, did you tell her?

511
00:29:31,939 --> 00:29:34,008
No, I didn't tell her!
These are <i>your</i> parents!

512
00:29:34,842 --> 00:29:37,211
Okay. Can I just ask
one more time? Can we--

513
00:29:38,345 --> 00:29:40,848
Can we just try to talk
about this, to work this out?

514
00:29:42,016 --> 00:29:44,318
Maybe. But not during Christmas.

515
00:29:46,153 --> 00:29:47,054
[softly] Okay.

516
00:29:48,022 --> 00:29:50,424
-Okay. Please. Sorry, but--
-Yeah. Yeah.

517
00:29:50,558 --> 00:29:52,026
I need some coffee first.

518
00:29:53,394 --> 00:29:55,429
[soft clinking]

519
00:29:56,864 --> 00:29:57,865
[inhales deeply]

520
00:30:07,308 --> 00:30:11,680
Uh, Mom, Dad, do you guys mind
if I borrow the car?

521
00:30:11,812 --> 00:30:14,481
Oh! Uh, seems okay. Mia?

522
00:30:14,616 --> 00:30:16,317
When's the last time
you drove in the snow?

523
00:30:16,450 --> 00:30:17,985
It has snow tires. I'll be fine.

524
00:30:18,118 --> 00:30:19,019
Where are you going?

525
00:30:19,853 --> 00:30:22,289
Um... uh, actually,

526
00:30:22,423 --> 00:30:23,957
can I check something
on your computer real quick?

527
00:30:24,091 --> 00:30:26,226
Uh, actually,
can you tell us what's up first?

528
00:30:27,361 --> 00:30:28,829
Yeah. Um...

529
00:30:29,897 --> 00:30:33,901
...well, so, um,

530
00:30:34,034 --> 00:30:35,969
this is gonna sound crazy,
but it turns out

531
00:30:36,103 --> 00:30:37,971
that Cassie needs
to go home for Christmas,

532
00:30:38,105 --> 00:30:41,175
so... I'm gonna take her
to the airport.

533
00:30:41,308 --> 00:30:43,511
-[Kirby] Today?
-You just arrived!

534
00:30:43,645 --> 00:30:46,514
I know. I'm, uh, so sorry.

535
00:30:46,648 --> 00:30:49,249
Um, I've been
so excited to come,

536
00:30:49,383 --> 00:30:51,452
and I-- I wasn't planning
for this, but just...

537
00:30:52,486 --> 00:30:56,524
...something came up,
so, uh, this is just
what I have to do now.

538
00:31:00,427 --> 00:31:02,731
-Can't you stay for,
like, o-- one more day?
-I know, I'm sorry, Liz,

539
00:31:02,930 --> 00:31:04,699
-I'll explain
all of this later, really--
-Okay, here we go.

540
00:31:04,833 --> 00:31:08,135
We get two flights,
9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
to Portland, as expected.

541
00:31:08,268 --> 00:31:10,505
-Too late for 9:00 a.m.
-Well, yeah. We'll get
the 12:00 p.m., no problem.

542
00:31:10,638 --> 00:31:12,373
-[Cassie] What time
does that land?
-[Ben] Oh, God!

543
00:31:12,507 --> 00:31:14,676
-There's no buy button.
-It's the airport website.

544
00:31:14,809 --> 00:31:17,311
Yeah, this is
where I got it before.
I see the flight number

545
00:31:17,444 --> 00:31:19,213
-and everything, but there's
no purchase button.
-Oh! You know what?

546
00:31:19,346 --> 00:31:21,649
-It might be full,
it's just a puddle jumper.
-Try standby.

547
00:31:21,783 --> 00:31:23,585
-You have to call for that.
-Uh, you know what?

548
00:31:23,718 --> 00:31:25,620
-Try for tomorrow too.
-Tomorrow?

549
00:31:25,754 --> 00:31:27,522
-It's hard to book
last minute, honey.
-Okay.

550
00:31:27,655 --> 00:31:29,323
You know what? I'm calling them.

551
00:31:29,456 --> 00:31:31,492
But wait! Uh, it says here
that there is a direct flight

552
00:31:31,626 --> 00:31:33,360
-from Pendleton to O'Hare.
-What?

553
00:31:33,494 --> 00:31:34,962
-What airline?
-Yeah. Um, Jetset.

554
00:31:35,095 --> 00:31:39,066
I'm not familiar,
but it's... $13,000?

555
00:31:39,199 --> 00:31:41,168
-[Mia] Ooh!
-It's a private plane company.

556
00:31:41,301 --> 00:31:42,970
Why would they have
that listed here?

557
00:31:43,070 --> 00:31:44,506
Might be your only option.

558
00:31:45,239 --> 00:31:47,241
God, I wonder
if they have a payment plan.

559
00:31:48,976 --> 00:31:50,010
I'm kidding.

560
00:31:50,978 --> 00:31:53,213
-[mumbles] What is so urgent?
-Hello? Hi. Um, I'm,

561
00:31:53,347 --> 00:31:55,817
I'm calling about availability
for the 12:00 p.m.
flight to Portland.

562
00:31:56,785 --> 00:31:59,754
Yeah, today.
Y-- yes. It, it wouldn't
let me purchase online,

563
00:31:59,888 --> 00:32:02,222
-so I was hoping...
-[man on TV] <i>I saw semi-trucks</i>

00:33:52,099 --> 00:33:54,669
-that I'm stuck here.
-[Ben] I'm not! I'm not,
okay. But, but look,

597
00:33:54,802 --> 00:33:56,470
-we, we can--
we can talk this out.
-[Cassie] Oh, my God! I don't--

598
00:33:56,604 --> 00:33:58,472
-Don't--
-We have so much time!
I, I know!

599
00:33:58,606 --> 00:33:59,908
I know, and it's, it's just--

600
00:34:03,545 --> 00:34:04,846
Oh! Did you guys break up?

601
00:34:06,146 --> 00:34:07,615
N-- no.

602
00:34:07,749 --> 00:34:08,783
Ben!

603
00:34:10,818 --> 00:34:11,686
It's--

604
00:34:17,759 --> 00:34:18,893
All right. Yeah, we-- we...

605
00:34:19,794 --> 00:34:20,862
[shakily inhales and exhales]

606
00:34:20,995 --> 00:34:22,129
...we broke up last night.

607
00:34:28,002 --> 00:34:30,939
No, guys, come on,
don't break up.
You could fix it.

608
00:34:31,138 --> 00:34:33,908
[shakily] I'm sorry, guys,
I-- really, I'm sorry.

609
00:34:34,042 --> 00:34:36,243
I didn't mean
for any of this to happen.

610
00:34:36,376 --> 00:34:39,179
Um, but I need to leave.

611
00:34:39,313 --> 00:34:42,149
Uh, he can explain.
Do not follow me.

612
00:34:49,156 --> 00:34:52,961
I, I just-- I can't...
[sharply exhales]
do anything right.

613
00:34:59,867 --> 00:35:01,903
[panting]

614
00:35:07,575 --> 00:35:09,510
[softly crying]

615
00:35:09,644 --> 00:35:11,679
[melancholic music]

616
00:35:43,511 --> 00:35:44,812
[rattling]

617
00:35:44,946 --> 00:35:46,547
[gentle music playing]

618
00:35:46,681 --> 00:35:48,215
This would have never
happened with Evan.

619
00:35:49,216 --> 00:35:51,586
How long have you
been dating this person?

620
00:35:52,219 --> 00:35:54,889
Three months.
But we met in Comm 102.

621
00:35:55,023 --> 00:35:57,925
So before we even started,
we laid out our expectations

622
00:35:58,059 --> 00:35:59,259
and our boundaries.

623
00:35:59,727 --> 00:36:00,995
We're both very assertive,

624
00:36:01,129 --> 00:36:02,897
so it feels like we've
been dating longer.

625
00:36:03,631 --> 00:36:07,501
Hey, um... uh, can I borrow
your room for a phone call?

626
00:36:07,635 --> 00:36:09,336
Oh. Oh! I think I got it!

627
00:36:09,469 --> 00:36:10,337
[Mia]
Sure.

628
00:36:10,470 --> 00:36:12,573
-[train rattling]
-[clicks]

629
00:36:12,707 --> 00:36:14,408
Oh, shoot!

630
00:36:15,242 --> 00:36:16,844
Hey, Sara. Yeah,
it's-- it's Ben.

631
00:36:17,545 --> 00:36:18,980
Yeah. Yeah. Cassie's Ben.

632
00:36:19,113 --> 00:36:22,650
-[Sara] <i>Hi.</i>
-Um, y-- yeah. Uh, how are you?

633
00:36:22,784 --> 00:36:25,753
Ar-- are you, um, are you,
you home for the holidays?

634
00:36:25,887 --> 00:36:28,455
<i>Yeah, I got</i>
<i>into Chicago yesterday,</i>

635
00:36:28,589 --> 00:36:30,490
<i>and I'm at our dad's house</i>
<i>until Christmas Eve.</i>

636
00:36:30,625 --> 00:36:31,893
[chuckles] Cool. Yeah.

637
00:36:32,727 --> 00:36:35,797
-Um, hey, so--
<i>-What's up?</i>

638
00:36:35,930 --> 00:36:38,833
Yeah. L-- listen, I, I,
I really need to talk to you.

639
00:36:38,966 --> 00:36:40,735
I kind of,
kind of need your advice.

640
00:36:40,868 --> 00:36:43,004
Next thing you know,
we're having
a full-fledged conversation

641
00:36:43,137 --> 00:36:46,674
about the future,
and then, out of nowhere,
she's just, like...

642
00:36:47,842 --> 00:36:51,278
..."I'm done." But I feel
like there's a way that we can--

643
00:36:51,411 --> 00:36:53,147
that we can get
through this. So...

644
00:36:54,082 --> 00:36:55,415
...how would you console her?

645
00:36:56,283 --> 00:37:00,822
<i>Um, this isn't really</i>
<i>the best time for me.</i>

646
00:37:00,955 --> 00:37:02,322
-Oh--
<i>-Do you mind</i>
<i>if I call you later?</i>

647
00:37:02,456 --> 00:37:03,858
-Yeah, yeah.
<i>-After I've, um--</i>

648
00:37:03,991 --> 00:37:05,358
Yeah, yeah, that's fine. Um--

649
00:37:05,492 --> 00:37:08,029
<i>-Yeah. Okay.</i>
-Yeah. Just, just call me back.

650
00:37:11,099 --> 00:37:12,466
[cell phone buzzing]

651
00:37:14,401 --> 00:37:15,302
[Cassie loudly]
Ben!

652
00:37:16,771 --> 00:37:17,772
Ben!

653
00:37:19,707 --> 00:37:20,975
You called Sara?

654
00:37:21,776 --> 00:37:23,644
I, uh-- okay, I, I was
just trying to get help.

655
00:37:23,778 --> 00:37:25,880
You have
your entire family downstairs.

656
00:37:26,013 --> 00:37:28,883
-I have no one. I let you--
-Okay, but she knows you. Sh--

657
00:37:29,751 --> 00:37:32,820
Ben, this is just unfair.
I let you handle
this with your family.

658
00:37:33,353 --> 00:37:35,590
[Ben]
Th-- they don't know
anything, okay?

659
00:37:36,724 --> 00:37:39,527
Cassie, I'm trying to be there
for you as best as I can, okay?

660
00:37:41,662 --> 00:37:42,530
[grunts]

661
00:37:43,931 --> 00:37:46,868
[Ben]
Cassie. Can you just-- [sighs]

662
00:37:47,001 --> 00:37:48,803
-[Ben loudly groans]
-[door shuts]

663
00:37:52,707 --> 00:37:53,641
[sighs]

664
00:37:54,242 --> 00:37:55,342
[door opens]

665
00:37:55,475 --> 00:37:56,511
[door bangs]

666
00:37:58,579 --> 00:37:59,547
[Mia whispers]
Kirb.

667
00:38:00,347 --> 00:38:01,381
Go.

668
00:38:05,553 --> 00:38:07,354
[grunting]

669
00:38:15,596 --> 00:38:16,496
What you doing there?

670
00:38:17,565 --> 00:38:18,766
Shoveling the driveway.

671
00:38:19,366 --> 00:38:21,202
[Kirby]
Ah, don't kid yourself.
Get a coat.

672
00:38:22,003 --> 00:38:24,471
-I'm wearing a coat.
-A real coat.
We're going for a walk.

673
00:38:26,541 --> 00:38:28,075
-Dad--
-I wanna show you something.

674
00:38:29,844 --> 00:38:31,612
Trust me. [laughs]

675
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,715
-All right.
-All right.

676
00:38:36,551 --> 00:38:37,384
Good job.

677
00:38:37,484 --> 00:38:39,486
[gentle music]

678
00:38:54,467 --> 00:38:55,536
Dad, what are we doing here?

679
00:38:56,537 --> 00:38:57,505
Wait.

680
00:38:59,439 --> 00:39:00,708
That's the 110 inbound.

681
00:39:00,842 --> 00:39:02,409
[distant rumbling]

682
00:39:02,510 --> 00:39:04,612
-Cool. I've seen it before.
Can we--
-Oh, oh, oh!

683
00:39:04,745 --> 00:39:06,413
-It's cold.
-Wait, wait, wait, wait.

684
00:39:10,952 --> 00:39:13,420
-[train horn blaring]
-What did-- she was saying?
What did she do?

685
00:39:14,487 --> 00:39:15,990
[loudly] What did she do?

686
00:39:17,124 --> 00:39:18,860
[inaudible]

687
00:39:18,993 --> 00:39:20,528
[shouts] Tell me what happened.

688
00:39:21,229 --> 00:39:22,897
[shouting]
She got mad about dinner.

689
00:39:23,798 --> 00:39:26,499
I tried to apologize,
but I made it worse.

690
00:39:26,634 --> 00:39:28,603
So then we fought
about the future.

691
00:39:28,736 --> 00:39:30,437
She feels stressed.

692
00:39:30,905 --> 00:39:34,742
I keep trying to do nice things,
but I keep making it worse.

693
00:39:35,610 --> 00:39:38,478
[crying] She was the most
stable thing I've ever had!

694
00:39:40,748 --> 00:39:43,450
It's taken me so long!
I can't find a job!

695
00:39:43,951 --> 00:39:45,887
My degree is useless!

696
00:39:46,020 --> 00:39:49,456
-Get it all out!
-[screams]

697
00:39:50,358 --> 00:39:51,359
Feel better?

698
00:39:52,126 --> 00:39:54,461
-No.
-[train rumbling]

699
00:39:54,528 --> 00:39:55,563
Now what?

700
00:39:56,564 --> 00:39:57,765
I don't wanna lose her.

701
00:39:58,299 --> 00:40:00,268
You trying to hold on
to that girl

702
00:40:00,467 --> 00:40:02,870
is like you trying
to stop that train.

703
00:40:03,938 --> 00:40:07,775
The only possible outcome is
to get your hand chopped off.

704
00:40:09,277 --> 00:40:11,078
It's a terrible analogy.

705
00:40:11,212 --> 00:40:13,080
Okay. Try this.

706
00:40:13,581 --> 00:40:16,317
When you're in a hole,
stop digging.

707
00:40:16,817 --> 00:40:20,154
Stop bugging her,
calling her sister, stop!

708
00:40:20,288 --> 00:40:21,889
Whatever you're doing, stop!

709
00:40:22,890 --> 00:40:25,393
You can't help it if you're
still thinking about it.

710
00:40:25,526 --> 00:40:29,429
But you can stop doing things.

711
00:40:44,979 --> 00:40:47,014
[soft rattling]

712
00:40:50,584 --> 00:40:52,452
[laughs] I got it, gu--

713
00:40:53,754 --> 00:40:54,655
[clicks]

714
00:40:56,824 --> 00:40:57,758
-What the heck?
-[clicks]

715
00:40:58,826 --> 00:41:02,830
Welcome to Vlogmas Day...
[soft popping] 23.

716
00:41:02,964 --> 00:41:05,633
As always, I'm your host,
Liz Russell.

717
00:41:05,766 --> 00:41:07,802
Today I learned something.

718
00:41:07,935 --> 00:41:09,937
Did you know the most common day
to break up with someone

719
00:41:10,071 --> 00:41:12,373
in the year is December 11th?

720
00:41:12,540 --> 00:41:13,708
I guess two weeks
before Christmas

721
00:41:13,841 --> 00:41:15,543
is just enough time
to cut your losses.

722
00:41:15,676 --> 00:41:18,045
But if you've made it
this far, don't worry,

723
00:41:18,179 --> 00:41:20,181
you're probably safe
through breakup season.

724
00:41:20,314 --> 00:41:22,183
And don't worry, Evan,
we're perfect.

725
00:41:22,316 --> 00:41:24,318
You're perfect.
I'm gonna FaceTime you later.

726
00:41:24,785 --> 00:41:27,054
[chuckles]
But not everyone is so lucky.

727
00:41:27,688 --> 00:41:29,690
You know, I'm kind of pissed
at my brother right now.

728
00:41:29,824 --> 00:41:31,759
He brought Cassie
all the way here.

729
00:41:32,593 --> 00:41:35,830
They break up, right? Day one.

730
00:41:35,963 --> 00:41:39,767
And now she's stuck
with us throughout
all of Christmas break.

731
00:41:39,900 --> 00:41:42,870
So much for a cute and fun
season finale. [chuckles]

732
00:41:43,004 --> 00:41:44,839
My DMs are open
for survival tips.

733
00:41:44,972 --> 00:41:46,207
[door opens and closes]

734
00:41:53,214 --> 00:41:54,181
There you are.

735
00:41:55,483 --> 00:41:56,350
Did it help?

736
00:41:57,585 --> 00:41:58,686
Mm, maybe.

737
00:42:00,187 --> 00:42:01,122
Eventually.

738
00:42:05,059 --> 00:42:06,160
[sighs]

739
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,504
-I'm getting punished for this?
-Oh, dude, do you think
I wanna be here?

740
00:42:15,636 --> 00:42:19,373
-Sleep on the couch.
-No! Dude, I'm gonna wake up
at dawn when my mom wakes up.

741
00:42:19,508 --> 00:42:20,841
It's five days. Suck it up.

742
00:42:20,975 --> 00:42:22,209
[sighs] Come on, man,

743
00:42:22,343 --> 00:42:24,078
this used to be
our room, remember?

744
00:42:24,211 --> 00:42:25,413
Yeah. You went to college.

745
00:42:25,613 --> 00:42:26,947
You weren't supposed
to come back.

746
00:42:27,081 --> 00:42:29,150
-It was, like, five years ago.
-It was seven years.

747
00:42:29,717 --> 00:42:31,085
I'm glad you're keeping score.

748
00:42:31,619 --> 00:42:34,088
I'm sorry that my life isn't
as perfect as yours, buds.

749
00:42:35,356 --> 00:42:39,960
Okay. [sighs] What if I...
help you clean up?

750
00:42:45,633 --> 00:42:46,535
Fine.

751
00:42:46,667 --> 00:42:48,702
[gentle music]

752
00:42:55,342 --> 00:42:57,278
Hey. Here.

753
00:42:58,412 --> 00:42:59,548
[softly] Thanks.

754
00:43:16,030 --> 00:43:18,065
[cutlery clinking]

755
00:43:18,666 --> 00:43:20,901
Do you guys remember that book,
<i>There's Something in My Attic?</i>

756
00:43:23,070 --> 00:43:25,906
I used to read it to you guys,
Liz thought it was too scary.

757
00:43:27,542 --> 00:43:29,477
Anyways,
that's what this feels like.

758
00:43:36,684 --> 00:43:38,352
There's also that movie,
<i>Aliens in the Attic.</i>

759
00:43:38,486 --> 00:43:41,489
Gordon, can you just stop being
a dick for, like, two seconds?

760
00:43:41,689 --> 00:43:43,090
-Hey--
-Stop being a little baby.

761
00:43:43,224 --> 00:43:44,992
You wanna know
how our argument started?

762
00:43:45,126 --> 00:43:47,328
It started with me having
to apologize for dinner.

763
00:43:47,461 --> 00:43:49,130
[scoffs] Okay, yeah.
I'm not gonna feel bad

764
00:43:49,263 --> 00:43:51,465
because you think
I'm the reason
that she dumped you.

765
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,701
That's on you, buds.

766
00:43:53,834 --> 00:43:57,572
[laughs] Also, hey, everybody,
look at Ben's plate!

767
00:43:58,706 --> 00:44:01,809
-I-- uh--
-It is local tonight.

768
00:44:03,043 --> 00:44:05,045
-Came from Hill Meats.
-If it was really your diet,

769
00:44:05,179 --> 00:44:07,248
-you'd stick to it.
-Stick to it?

770
00:44:07,381 --> 00:44:09,183
That's really funny, Gordon.
Remind me, what year

771
00:44:09,316 --> 00:44:11,852
-did you graduate college?
Hmm, I can't remember.
-Oh, okay, Ben--

772
00:44:11,986 --> 00:44:13,888
Honestly, man, if that's
your metric for success,

773
00:44:14,021 --> 00:44:15,723
wake up. It's an expensive
piece of paper.

774
00:44:15,823 --> 00:44:17,791
-It's a great experience.
-"Metric of success."

775
00:44:17,925 --> 00:44:20,961
-What's yours then, huh?
Was it-- is it career?
-Oh, play the hits.

776
00:44:21,095 --> 00:44:22,863
-[cross talk]
-Play the hits.
You have no girlfriend,

777
00:44:22,997 --> 00:44:24,798
-and you've got no job--
-...okay, you both--

778
00:44:24,932 --> 00:44:27,935
Both of you, stop that
right now. Listen. Stop!

779
00:44:29,069 --> 00:44:30,070
That's enough.

780
00:44:30,871 --> 00:44:34,808
Kirby, can you, like, give them
some kind of chore to do?

781
00:44:34,942 --> 00:44:36,977
-As what? A punishment?
-[Mia sighs]

782
00:44:37,111 --> 00:44:38,613
I wasn't gonna say that, but--

783
00:44:38,746 --> 00:44:41,081
-Make them wash the dishes.
-[sighs]

784
00:44:41,215 --> 00:44:43,851
-No, I'd rather do that myself.
-No. No, no, no, no, no.

785
00:44:44,752 --> 00:44:46,621
-You've been doing
enough already.
-[sighs]

786
00:44:47,855 --> 00:44:48,856
Okay.

787
00:44:49,456 --> 00:44:51,792
I need you guys to load
the utensils facing up.

788
00:44:52,259 --> 00:44:54,094
You have
to hand wash the pans, okay?

789
00:44:54,629 --> 00:44:56,797
Gordon can do it.
I cleaned his room today.

790
00:44:57,798 --> 00:44:58,667
Crybaby.

791
00:45:04,438 --> 00:45:05,574
Liz, will you help?

792
00:45:08,209 --> 00:45:10,211
[line ringing]

793
00:45:13,214 --> 00:45:14,815
-Mom?
<i>-Hey!</i>

794
00:45:15,617 --> 00:45:18,018
<i>So, did you make it</i>
<i>to La Grange?</i>

795
00:45:18,786 --> 00:45:20,555
L-- La Grande. Uh--

796
00:45:23,290 --> 00:45:24,626
Yeah, we made it last night.

797
00:45:25,627 --> 00:45:26,860
<i>I thought you would let me know.</i>

798
00:45:28,295 --> 00:45:30,931
<i>Anyway,</i>

799
00:45:33,033 --> 00:45:33,867
[clicks tongue]

800
00:45:34,468 --> 00:45:35,704
[shakily] Um, Mom...

801
00:45:36,804 --> 00:45:38,038
I broke up with Ben.

802
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:40,908
<i>You did what?</i>

803
00:45:42,009 --> 00:45:43,377
<i>Didn't you just get there?</i>

804
00:45:46,914 --> 00:45:50,451
[crying] It just wasn't working,
not anymore. [sobs]

805
00:45:50,585 --> 00:45:52,119
<i>Oh, my gosh!</i>

806
00:45:53,187 --> 00:45:54,656
<i>So, where does that leave you?</i>

807
00:45:54,822 --> 00:45:57,291
There's nothing I can do,
I'm, s-- I'm stuck here

808
00:45:57,424 --> 00:46:00,828
because I can't fly out
until the 27th. So...

809
00:46:01,395 --> 00:46:03,931
<i>-What are you going to do?</i>
-I don't know.
There's nothing I can do.

810
00:46:04,064 --> 00:46:06,635
[deeply inhales]
I've just been sitting
in their attic...

811
00:46:07,835 --> 00:46:09,103
...all day long, so...

812
00:46:09,236 --> 00:46:10,739
[sobbing] I don't know.

813
00:46:11,472 --> 00:46:16,711
<i>Well, I guess sometimes</i>
<i>you have to learn the hard way.</i>

814
00:46:21,115 --> 00:46:23,350
Why can't you ever
just say, "I'm sorry?"

815
00:46:23,884 --> 00:46:25,052
[Cassie's Mom sighs]

816
00:46:25,185 --> 00:46:26,588
<i>I am sorry.</i>

817
00:46:26,721 --> 00:46:29,624
<i>It sounds terrible.</i>
<i>Entering Christmas?</i>

818
00:46:29,758 --> 00:46:30,958
<i>But what difference</i>
<i>does it make?</i>

819
00:46:31,091 --> 00:46:32,527
I almost didn't
even call to tell you

820
00:46:32,661 --> 00:46:34,729
because I knew you would
just say something like this.

821
00:46:35,530 --> 00:46:36,864
You would just say,
"I told you so."

822
00:46:38,132 --> 00:46:39,333
<i>I know you're upset.</i>

823
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:44,038
<i>It sounds like this whole trip</i>
<i>was a little... impulsive.</i>

824
00:46:44,171 --> 00:46:45,172
No, it wasn't!

825
00:46:46,407 --> 00:46:49,209
And I don't want you to s--
just sit on the phone

826
00:46:49,343 --> 00:46:51,045
and critique me,
because I'm already...

827
00:46:51,178 --> 00:46:53,047
[shakily inhales]
doing that myself.

828
00:46:53,180 --> 00:46:55,015
Mom, sometimes
it would just be nice

829
00:46:55,149 --> 00:46:57,885
-to actually sit and,
and talk to you.
-[knocking on door]

-[loudly] Um, yes?
-[door opens and creaks]

831
00:46:59,654 --> 00:47:01,690
[Mia]
It's me. Are you decent?

832
00:47:01,889 --> 00:47:06,327
Um... [softly] Um, uh,
Mom, I'm gonna t-- text you

833
00:47:06,460 --> 00:47:08,228
whenever I figure out my plan,
okay? I got to go.

-Okay, bye. [sniffles]

00:47:10,331 --> 00:47:12,399
[loudly] Uh, yea-- uh, yes,
p-- You can come in.

836
00:47:12,534 --> 00:47:13,535
[door closes]

837
00:47:15,903 --> 00:47:18,506
Hey. I just brought you
a little dinner.

838
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,441
Oh, thank you,
that's so sweet, I could've--

839
00:47:20,575 --> 00:47:23,177
Oh, I know, but I could tell
that wasn't working.

840
00:47:25,613 --> 00:47:27,749
[sighs] So, did you talk
to your family today?

841
00:47:29,350 --> 00:47:32,821
[shakily] Yeah. Um, yeah,
I just talked to my mom.

842
00:47:32,953 --> 00:47:34,823
-Oh, I didn't mean to interrupt.
-No, no, it's okay.

843
00:47:34,955 --> 00:47:37,424
-It's, it's late
where they are, so--
-Okay, well,

844
00:47:37,559 --> 00:47:39,159
there's some more Tupperware
in the fridge, okay?

845
00:47:39,293 --> 00:47:40,461
-Mm-hmm.
-If you want a midnight snack.

846
00:47:40,595 --> 00:47:41,730
-Mm-hmm.
-[Mia] Okay.

847

-Oh, sweetheart!

00:47:46,534 --> 00:47:48,670
-Oh! Hey!
-[Cassie] Oh, no--

849
00:47:48,803 --> 00:47:52,339
-No, it's okay,
I ca-- I'm sorry.
-It's okay. Come here.

850
00:47:52,473 --> 00:47:53,675
[softly] It's okay.

851
00:47:55,242 --> 00:47:57,812
-[sobbing] I'm sorry.
-No.

852
00:47:57,945 --> 00:48:01,048
Don't worry. Hey, I'm a mom.

853

-[laughs]
-[chuckles]

854
00:48:04,652 --> 00:48:05,687
Okay?

855
00:48:06,453 --> 00:48:07,689
Oh, babe!

856
00:48:10,558 --> 00:48:12,761
-[sniffles]
-You know, we're gonna
figure this all out, okay?

857
00:48:14,962 --> 00:48:15,963
[softly] I got you.

858
00:48:20,535 --> 00:48:22,469
[distant thuds]

860
00:48:26,808 --> 00:48:28,610
Who still uses
a cable for internet?

861
00:48:28,743 --> 00:48:30,978
[deeply exhales] Out here,
it's the only fast way.

862
00:48:35,115 --> 00:48:36,016
Hey, um...

863
00:48:37,685 --> 00:48:39,587
...about earlier,
I-- I didn't mean to--

864
00:48:39,721 --> 00:48:40,822
Don't worry about it.

865
00:48:41,790 --> 00:48:42,657
[Ben]
Really?

866
00:48:43,591 --> 00:48:45,025
Nothing I haven't already heard.

867
00:48:47,529 --> 00:48:49,798
Hey, can I ask you something?

868
00:48:51,365 --> 00:48:52,232
Shoot.

869
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,270
-Without you being, like--
-Just ask, Ben.

870
00:49:00,307 --> 00:49:01,843
How did it go down
with you and Cristina?

871
00:49:02,409 --> 00:49:05,279
[deeply inhales and exhales]

872
00:49:05,412 --> 00:49:07,014
Are you trying to poke the bull?

873
00:49:10,885 --> 00:49:12,554
[deeply exhales] Well...

874
00:49:15,355 --> 00:49:17,759
...I mean, it's the most
brutal thing that I've
ever had to go through.

875
00:49:20,060 --> 00:49:22,029
Way worse than when
Grandpa Al died, and that--

876
00:49:22,129 --> 00:49:23,497
you remember how rough that was.

877
00:49:24,465 --> 00:49:26,033
But he was old,

878
00:49:26,601 --> 00:49:27,802
so it was like a...

879
00:49:28,937 --> 00:49:30,505
...a natural occurrence.

880
00:49:31,773 --> 00:49:33,040
I shouldn't
have brought her here.

881
00:49:33,708 --> 00:49:35,042
It would've happened either way.

882
00:49:35,175 --> 00:49:36,911
No. We love each other.

883
00:49:37,444 --> 00:49:39,881
Of course you do.
It still happens.

884
00:49:40,715 --> 00:49:42,449
And somebody realizes...
[blows sharply]

885
00:49:42,584 --> 00:49:44,084
..."Oh, this isn't right."
And then,

886
00:49:44,752 --> 00:49:46,721
it's basically impossible
to snap back.

887
00:49:46,855 --> 00:49:48,823
It was just some dumb mistakes.

888
00:49:48,957 --> 00:49:50,057
[Gordon]
I doubt it.

889
00:49:50,592 --> 00:49:52,226
She probably had to come
all the way out here to realize

890
00:49:52,359 --> 00:49:54,596
-that it wasn't working.
-Well, I can't resolve it

891
00:49:54,729 --> 00:49:56,196
while she's stuck here.

892
00:49:56,330 --> 00:49:57,832
[gentle music]

893
00:49:57,966 --> 00:50:00,635
Or worse, try to get over her.

894
00:50:00,768 --> 00:50:02,069
You're not gonna get over her.

895
00:50:02,135 --> 00:50:04,004
-What?
-Someone dumps you...

896
00:50:04,137 --> 00:50:05,540
[deeply exhales]
that's, "Good night."

897
00:50:06,608 --> 00:50:08,141
You feel that forever.

898
00:50:09,443 --> 00:50:11,546
Even if you find somebody new,
you know, you just--

899
00:50:12,346 --> 00:50:13,882
[deeply inhales and exhales]

900
00:50:14,014 --> 00:50:15,717
I guess you just get
better at managing it.

Make sure you're lined up
with the target.

And start with your arms
straight. Just like that.

1002
00:55:18,653 --> 00:55:20,487
-Okay. [sniffs]

over your head--

And, Liz, this is for you too.

not at your target,

So pretend there's a tree
behind this tree.

what, uh, what made you
come out today?

1050
00:57:49,570 --> 00:57:51,605
I just couldn't do
another day up there.

1051
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,642
-I'm glad you're having fun!
-Yeah.

1052
00:57:55,810 --> 00:57:56,844
Happy, boo?

1053
00:58:01,615 --> 00:58:02,850
Um, where to, next?

1054
00:58:03,718 --> 00:58:05,820
[Mia] Well, if we're gonna
shop for presents,
we better split up.

1055
00:58:05,953 --> 00:58:08,255
-I'm heading that way.
-Ooh, I wanna go
to the consignment stores.

1056
00:58:08,389 --> 00:58:10,191
The, uh, used bookstore
is pretty cool.

1057
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,462
-Yeah! I'm down
for the consignment stores.
-[gasps]

1058
00:58:14,595 --> 00:58:16,130
-Yay!
-Okay! You got two hours!

1059
00:58:16,263 --> 00:58:17,732
[birds chirping]

1060
00:58:17,865 --> 00:58:21,068
Looks like it's just
me and you, bro.

1061
00:58:21,602 --> 00:58:23,838
-[Christmas jazz music]
-[singer vocalizing]

1062
00:58:26,340 --> 00:58:29,844
Hey, how are you?
I think there's something wrong
with this transformer.

1063
00:58:29,977 --> 00:58:32,213
Uh, the train will run great
for a few seconds,

1064
00:58:32,346 --> 00:58:34,749
and then it just fails.
It's like it runs out of steam.

1065
00:58:35,883 --> 00:58:37,385
It's not real steam.

1066
00:58:37,885 --> 00:58:41,255
[laughs] Yes, I know that,
but, uh, what do you think?

1067
00:58:41,389 --> 00:58:43,257
Is there a reason
the current's not going through?

1068
00:58:46,927 --> 00:58:48,462
Ah! I don't know.

1069
00:58:48,596 --> 00:58:50,898
Oh! Golly. Um--

1070
00:58:51,032 --> 00:58:53,234
-Fast. Ready? Okay.
-Yeah. I love it.

1071
00:58:53,367 --> 00:58:55,469
-That's-- [laughs]
-Perfect. No, it's great!
It was so cute. It was so cute.

1072
00:58:55,603 --> 00:58:57,872
-Okay, this is
what I wanna show you.
-All right.

1073
00:58:58,005 --> 00:59:01,175
This is our mall.

1074
00:59:02,076 --> 00:59:04,745
-This is your mall?
-Kind of. Yeah. Yeah.

1075
00:59:04,879 --> 00:59:08,315
-No way!
-I mean, it's, it's not any big
brands or anything like that.

1076
00:59:08,449 --> 00:59:10,818
Mostly just, like,
small consignment shops,

1077
00:59:10,951 --> 00:59:12,853
but most of my closet
it's from here.

1078
00:59:12,987 --> 00:59:15,256
-Well, this is really,
really amazing, I mean...
-Right?

1079
00:59:15,389 --> 00:59:17,858
-...I've never seen
anything like this in LA.
-I know!

1080
00:59:17,992 --> 00:59:22,129
I know. Ooh, Clarence rack.
Speaking my language!

1081
00:59:22,263 --> 00:59:24,632
Yeah, well, this is
a hobby shop, I figured
you'd know your way around it.

1082
00:59:24,765 --> 00:59:26,634
-I mean, you got
a train part right there.
-I do know my way.

1083
00:59:26,734 --> 00:59:29,470
-I know my way around my shop.
-Oh, I'm-- I'm not saying
you don't,

1084
00:59:29,637 --> 00:59:32,073
I'm not saying you don't.
I love this place.
I just wish that, uh...

1085
00:59:32,206 --> 00:59:34,075
-We appreciate your business.
-...this darn thing would work!

1086
00:59:34,208 --> 00:59:35,743
Well, it doesn't, does it?
But, you know, tinkering is

1087
00:59:35,876 --> 00:59:37,144
what makes it fun.

1088
00:59:39,647 --> 00:59:40,981
There are limits to tinkering.

1089
00:59:42,083 --> 00:59:43,117
Oh, my gosh.

1090
00:59:43,684 --> 00:59:44,852
Liz, what about this?

1091
00:59:45,853 --> 00:59:48,389
-Costume party? [laughs]
-I think so.

1092
00:59:50,559 --> 00:59:51,659
Oh, my gosh!

1093
00:59:53,894 --> 00:59:56,363
I have to have th--
I don't have anything
in this color.

1094
00:59:56,497 --> 00:59:58,766
Oh, yeah. No, pink,
I could never visualize
you wearing pink.

1095
00:59:58,899 --> 01:00:00,901
-I have no idea
what that would be like.
-[laughs]

1096
01:00:01,035 --> 01:00:02,571
-It does look like you.
-Oh, thanks.

1097
01:00:02,703 --> 01:00:04,305
But I-- I don't know.
Every time I go out shopping

1098
01:00:04,438 --> 01:00:05,639
for other people, I always
end up finding things

1099
01:00:05,773 --> 01:00:07,475
for myself instead. [groans]

1100
01:00:08,075 --> 01:00:10,411
-Well--
-[sighs] Come this way.

1101
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,149
Dude, honestly, this is
so much worse than yesterday.

1102
01:00:15,282 --> 01:00:18,786
Like, she's having
so much fun with everybody
except me.

1103
01:00:18,919 --> 01:00:22,156
D-- And at ax throwing,
she was high-fiving everyone
and, like, cheering.

1104
01:00:22,289 --> 01:00:25,025
-And now she's hanging out
with Liz and, like, just--
-Hey!

1105
01:00:25,527 --> 01:00:27,661
-I'm not
hanging out with Cassie.
-Dude, you know what I mean.

1106
01:00:27,795 --> 01:00:30,297
Man, like, it's just--
it's... torture.

1107
01:00:30,431 --> 01:00:31,966
-I'm just--
-Man,

1108
01:00:32,500 --> 01:00:35,803
-all you talk about is Cassie,
Cassie, Cassie--
-Yeah,

1109
01:00:35,936 --> 01:00:38,305
-because I'm, I'm trying to--
-Well, switch it up
a little bit.

1110
01:00:38,439 --> 01:00:40,174
Like, buy a book or something.

1111
01:00:40,908 --> 01:00:41,942
Anything else!

1112
01:00:43,110 --> 01:00:44,778
Maybe there's something
on real estate that she'd like.

1113
01:00:44,912 --> 01:00:46,780
[groans] No, buy a book for you!

1114
01:00:46,914 --> 01:00:48,949
[train loudly rumbling]

1115
01:00:52,019 --> 01:00:53,187
[Kirby]
Oh, that's a beauty.

1116
01:00:55,356 --> 01:00:56,824
Slow and steady, you know?

1117
01:00:57,291 --> 01:01:00,427
Boy, if life was as steady
as that, huh? [laughs]

1118
01:01:01,028 --> 01:01:01,929
Oh, gee.

1119
01:01:02,730 --> 01:01:04,365
Could I talk to you
about something?

1120
01:01:04,498 --> 01:01:05,366
Yeah!

1121
01:01:05,966 --> 01:01:07,735
It's about Evan. He's great.

1122
01:01:08,335 --> 01:01:10,037
And we're both
great communicators.

1123
01:01:10,171 --> 01:01:12,873
And he is a very mature
college boy.

1124
01:01:13,874 --> 01:01:16,477
But because we established
our guidelines so early on,

1125
01:01:16,611 --> 01:01:17,745
I sometimes feel like--

1126
01:01:18,846 --> 01:01:21,182
Okay, like, for example,
he has this thing

1127
01:01:21,315 --> 01:01:24,218
where he doesn't like
to text, "I love you."

1128
01:01:24,351 --> 01:01:25,920
I mean, we say it
to each other all the time,

1129
01:01:26,053 --> 01:01:29,390
but-- all the time, in person,
but he thinks it's cheap...

1130
01:01:30,191 --> 01:01:31,926
...to text it,
which I totally get.

1131
01:01:32,059 --> 01:01:34,428
I respect that
and understand it, but...
[breathes deeply]

1132
01:01:34,563 --> 01:01:35,930
...with it being Christmas, I--

1133
01:01:36,931 --> 01:01:38,132
I haven't talked
to him in two days,

1134
01:01:38,265 --> 01:01:40,768
and all I wanna do
is send him that

1135
01:01:40,834 --> 01:01:42,537
without feeling
like I have to worry about it.

1136
01:01:44,271 --> 01:01:46,173
I don't know, maybe I'm
overthinking it or something.

1137
01:01:46,307 --> 01:01:47,576
Probably no big deal.

1138
01:01:47,775 --> 01:01:48,976
I-- it's like, all of a sudden,

1139
01:01:49,109 --> 01:01:50,579
everything I say

1140
01:01:50,778 --> 01:01:52,179
just makes this so much worse.

1141
01:01:52,313 --> 01:01:53,847
-There's a lesson there.
-It-- and it wasn't

1142
01:01:53,981 --> 01:01:55,349
even like this
a couple days ago!

1143
01:01:55,482 --> 01:01:56,850
Like... [sighs]

1144
01:01:56,984 --> 01:01:58,285
Maybe it was
and you didn't know it.

1145
01:01:58,419 --> 01:02:00,020
Dude, and that's
even more terrible,

1146
01:02:00,154 --> 01:02:01,789
'cause, like, if I--
if I couldn't tell

1147
01:02:01,855 --> 01:02:03,157
when her feelings change,
it's like I just--

1148
01:02:03,290 --> 01:02:05,793
I never had a way
of really knowing how she felt,

1149
01:02:05,859 --> 01:02:08,162
-which--
-You said it, not me.

1150
01:02:08,295 --> 01:02:09,430
Jeez.

1151
01:02:10,632 --> 01:02:12,066
[sighing] Oh, God.

1152
01:02:12,199 --> 01:02:13,535
I don-- I don't know
what to do. Like--

1153
01:02:14,201 --> 01:02:15,803
At every corner, every time,

1154
01:02:15,903 --> 01:02:18,038
I just try to do something
to make it better.

1155
01:02:18,172 --> 01:02:20,441
You know, sometimes,
the best thing to do
is nothing at all.

1156
01:02:21,442 --> 01:02:23,210
I can't, I can't
just do nothing!

1157
01:02:23,344 --> 01:02:26,013
The Buddha did. He just
sat around, got free rice.

1158
01:02:26,146 --> 01:02:27,414
[lively music playing]

1159
01:02:27,549 --> 01:02:28,816
And these guidelines are, like,

1160
01:02:28,916 --> 01:02:30,284
kind of the whole reason
we fell in love

1161
01:02:30,417 --> 01:02:32,621
in the first place.
[deeply inhales]

1162
01:02:32,820 --> 01:02:34,321
Now, I just
feel trapped by them.

1163
01:02:37,626 --> 01:02:41,696
I mean, i--
it's normal to evolve.

1164
01:02:42,564 --> 01:02:45,667
And what worked at the start
of your relationship
may not work forever.

1165
01:02:45,833 --> 01:02:47,368
And that's okay.
It doesn't mean it was wrong.

1166
01:02:47,501 --> 01:02:48,570
It just means...

1167
01:02:49,837 --> 01:02:51,573
...that you're changing
and growing.

1168
01:02:53,207 --> 01:02:54,308
You and Ben are?

1169
01:02:56,678 --> 01:02:57,545
Sorry.

1170
01:03:01,915 --> 01:03:03,017
[sighs]

1171
01:03:03,150 --> 01:03:04,151
Ben--

1172
01:03:06,987 --> 01:03:08,989
[gentle music]

1173
01:03:09,857 --> 01:03:11,191
You know, I really liked Ben.

1174
01:03:14,028 --> 01:03:16,864
He's smart and fun.

1175
01:03:19,033 --> 01:03:22,002
And we really both love LA,
even though a lot
of people rag on it.

1176
01:03:25,072 --> 01:03:28,610
But, you know, sometimes
things change and you realize...

1177
01:03:30,010 --> 01:03:31,546
...you don't want it anymore.

1178
01:03:38,485 --> 01:03:41,088
You don't want to be
with the same person...

1179
01:03:42,356 --> 01:03:43,525
...who always...

1180
01:03:45,926 --> 01:03:47,796
...acts like they did
when you first met them.

1181
01:03:48,563 --> 01:03:51,165
You know, it's important
to grow together,

1182
01:03:51,298 --> 01:03:54,234
and you hope for that,
but you can't... plan that.

1183
01:03:55,603 --> 01:03:57,971
So, you know, it either
works out or it just doesn't.

1184
01:04:00,441 --> 01:04:04,244
-So do I text Evan or no?
-[chuckles]

1185
01:04:04,978 --> 01:04:06,548
[Ben]
Man, I'm cold.

1186
01:04:06,681 --> 01:04:09,149
Your blood's gone thin,
you lost that winter tolerance.

1187
01:04:09,283 --> 01:04:11,385
Uh, this should melt off
by noon, though, don't worry.

1188
01:04:12,186 --> 01:04:13,688
Okay, let's go
to the liquor store.

1189
01:04:13,822 --> 01:04:15,122
-Won't help.
-The dispensary!

1190
01:04:15,255 --> 01:04:16,825
-Make things worse.
-Okay.

1191
01:04:16,957 --> 01:04:19,026
Well, what do you
recommend, then, sensei?

1192
01:04:19,159 --> 01:04:22,296
Mm. Let me show you something
that will help you, my son.

1193
01:04:25,132 --> 01:04:26,934
-Time.
-Yeah. Wow.

1194
01:04:27,034 --> 01:04:28,737
Brilliant.
That's really helpful.

1195
01:04:28,936 --> 01:04:31,105
Look, I know it sucks,
but it's truly the only way out.

1196
01:04:31,673 --> 01:04:33,675
Have you heard about
the time word origin?

1197
01:04:34,308 --> 01:04:37,211
-What?
-Okay, so if you measure
an hour as a unit of time,

1198
01:04:37,344 --> 01:04:39,480
the first way you break
that up is minutes.

1199
01:04:40,013 --> 01:04:42,316
-What's the next way?
-A second.

1200
01:04:43,551 --> 01:04:46,320
Oh, jeez. Dude,
that does not help me at all.

1201
01:04:46,453 --> 01:04:49,524
Yeah, I know, but wasn't
it nice to not talk about
what's-her-face for one second?

1202
01:04:49,657 --> 01:04:51,492
-[sighs]
-Rocked for me.

1203
01:04:51,626 --> 01:04:53,661
[engines rumbling]

1204
01:04:56,831 --> 01:04:59,199
[cutlery clinking]

1205
01:04:59,333 --> 01:05:02,136
Why do you wanna be
around somebody who clearly
doesn't wanna be with you?

1206
01:05:04,405 --> 01:05:07,007
[deeply inhales
and sharply exhales]

1207
01:05:07,141 --> 01:05:09,176
[light whimsical music]

1208
01:05:11,278 --> 01:05:13,648
-You wanna hear a story?
-Sure.

1209
01:05:15,449 --> 01:05:16,885
God, I remember like it
was yesterday.

1210
01:05:17,017 --> 01:05:18,787
[shakily breathing]

1211
01:05:18,986 --> 01:05:22,824
So, on our third date,
we, um, we go dancing.

1212
01:05:27,327 --> 01:05:29,898
<i>It's only been, like, a week,</i>
<i>so I wasn't sure if we were,</i>

1213
01:05:30,030 --> 01:05:32,232
<i>you know, actually dating</i>
<i>or just friends,</i>

1214
01:05:32,366 --> 01:05:36,003
<i>and I'm just--</i>
[sighs] <i>I'm, I'm all anxious.</i>

1215
01:05:39,473 --> 01:05:41,609
And, uh, I'm waiting for her
outside the bathroom.

1216
01:05:43,410 --> 01:05:45,112
<i>It's taking forever,</i>

1217
01:05:45,245 --> 01:05:47,214
<i>and there was no line,</i>
<i>so I thought...</i>

1218
01:05:48,516 --> 01:05:50,050
..."She's left. Boom.

1219
01:05:50,184 --> 01:05:53,120
Done, over, just like another
shitty dating app date."

1220
01:05:54,288 --> 01:05:56,891
[sighs] <i>So I'm doing</i>
<i>all these mental gymnastics.</i>

1221
01:06:01,028 --> 01:06:04,498
<i>And then... out walks Cassie</i>

1222
01:06:04,632 --> 01:06:06,868
<i>with two people that she</i>
<i>had never even met before.</i>

1223
01:06:07,034 --> 01:06:08,870
<i>And they were,</i>
<i>they were talking and laughing</i>

1224
01:06:09,036 --> 01:06:10,304
<i>like they were old friends.</i>

1225
01:06:10,772 --> 01:06:14,509
And... she's-- she's just--

1226
01:06:16,343 --> 01:06:17,812
<i>She's magnetic!</i>

1227
01:06:21,048 --> 01:06:23,952
It is, it is so... amazing

1228
01:06:24,084 --> 01:06:26,420
how effortlessly
she attracts people.

1229
01:06:28,923 --> 01:06:32,660
-And then... [deeply exhales]
we went back to her apartment.
-[muted]

1230
01:06:44,939 --> 01:06:46,240
[softly chuckles]

1231
01:06:48,141 --> 01:06:49,076
And?

1232
01:06:51,478 --> 01:06:54,516
And she's amazing.
That's the same person.

1233
01:06:55,683 --> 01:06:58,318
Yeah. Those good memories
will torture you for a while.

1234
01:06:59,086 --> 01:07:01,421
It's gonna feel even worse
when you realize that, for her,

1235
01:07:01,556 --> 01:07:03,558
-they're not
good memories anymore.
-[sighing] God.

1236
01:07:04,859 --> 01:07:06,628
Well, wh-- what--
what do I do with that?

1237
01:07:06,761 --> 01:07:08,095
-Like--
-Just slow down.

1238
01:07:08,863 --> 01:07:10,330
Stop counting the seconds.

1239
01:07:11,198 --> 01:07:12,700
Let's get you
to the minutes, buds.

1240
01:07:13,233 --> 01:07:14,201
Then years.

1241
01:07:14,836 --> 01:07:17,271
You're gonna spend a long time
hung up on all this stuff

1242
01:07:17,404 --> 01:07:20,107
that you wish you would've done
better or different.

1243
01:07:20,508 --> 01:07:23,745
Replaying stories in your head
over and over again.

1244
01:07:24,378 --> 01:07:26,581
Then you apologize
and they won't reply.

1245
01:07:27,247 --> 01:07:29,717
It'll feel like
all those memories
never even happened to her.

1246
01:07:30,417 --> 01:07:32,854
Then you really start to obsess,
and you get stuck in this loop

1247
01:07:32,987 --> 01:07:35,322
over and over and over
until you don't even remember

1248
01:07:35,455 --> 01:07:36,791
what it was like
to be with them.

1249
01:07:38,325 --> 01:07:40,360
[suspenseful music]

1250
01:07:41,863 --> 01:07:43,698
-Dude.
-[bell chimes]

1251
01:07:43,831 --> 01:07:45,365
Hey, Gordon, hey!

1252
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,502
-[grunts] Gordon!
-[bell chimes]

1253

chattering and laughing]

01:07:55,510 --> 01:07:57,377
-[woman] ...yeah--
-[Gordon] Cristina.

1255
01:08:01,049 --> 01:08:03,017
-Hey!
-Hey.

1256
01:08:03,150 --> 01:08:04,151
Hey!

1257
01:08:05,319 --> 01:08:06,386
Oh! Okay.

1258
01:08:09,323 --> 01:08:11,191
-[sighs] Claire.
-Hey.

1259
01:08:11,693 --> 01:08:14,361
Um, you remember my brother.

1260
01:08:14,494 --> 01:08:15,597
-Hey.
-Yeah, hey.

1261
01:08:17,230 --> 01:08:18,498
So, you're in town.

1262
01:08:18,633 --> 01:08:19,901
Yeah, um...

1263
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,669
[clicks tongue]
we moved our grandparents

1264
01:08:21,803 --> 01:08:23,337
into a retirement home, so,

1265
01:08:23,871 --> 01:08:25,707
it's just easier for us
to come to them.

1266
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,375
Yeah, that's amazing!
They're doing okay?

1267
01:08:28,509 --> 01:08:29,376
Yeah.

1268
01:08:30,912 --> 01:08:32,914
God. When was the last time
you were in La Grande?

1269
01:08:33,047 --> 01:08:36,084
Uh, forever ago, yeah,
since our parents moved.

1270
01:08:37,351 --> 01:08:39,854
-Not much reason to come back.
-No, no, I j--

1271
01:08:40,822 --> 01:08:43,357
-Hey!
-Hey, Liz. You,
you remember Cristina.

1272
01:08:44,191 --> 01:08:45,893
-Yep.
-Hey.

1273
01:08:49,229 --> 01:08:52,634
-The whole family.
-Yep. We're still
in the same place.

1274
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,202
Nice. I love that for you.

1275
01:08:57,739 --> 01:08:59,007
-[Cristina chuckles]
-[Gordon] Uh, well, uh,

1276
01:08:59,807 --> 01:09:01,208
-have a blast. Enjoy the--
-[Cristina] Yeah. Okay.

1277
01:09:01,308 --> 01:09:02,777
-Merry Christmas to you all.
-[Gordon] Yeah.

1278
01:09:02,910 --> 01:09:04,244
-All right--
-Yeah. Bye.

1279

[blowing]

1284
01:10:05,973 --> 01:10:07,108
Let me have some of that.

1285
01:10:08,076 --> 01:10:11,079
-You joking?
-Ain't my first rodeo.

1286
01:10:14,414 --> 01:10:16,249
But compared to the chicken shit
we used to smoke,

1287
01:10:16,383 --> 01:10:17,885
this legal stuff is wild.

1288
01:10:30,698 --> 01:10:32,633
She didn't ask me
one single question.

1289
01:10:34,969 --> 01:10:36,137
Not even, "How are you?"

1290
01:10:38,906 --> 01:10:40,742
It's like talking to somebody
that wants everything you say

1291
01:10:40,875 --> 01:10:42,275
to be the end
of the conversation.

1292
01:10:44,979 --> 01:10:46,413
Started to be expected.

1293
01:10:48,683 --> 01:10:50,218
You'd at least be curious.

1294
01:10:50,918 --> 01:10:52,153
Not if I ended it.

1295
01:10:55,556 --> 01:10:56,758
I was doing better too.

1296
01:11:00,762 --> 01:11:01,596
You know...

1297
01:11:02,597 --> 01:11:03,998
...when I split up
with your mom,

1298
01:11:04,132 --> 01:11:06,466
-I went to a very long--
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1299
01:11:06,601 --> 01:11:08,703
And then you met Mia,
and it was hunky-dory,

1300
01:11:08,836 --> 01:11:11,072
-happily ever after.
-I told you that.

1301
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:13,141
But...

1302
01:11:14,208 --> 01:11:15,442
...before I met your mom...

1303
01:11:17,078 --> 01:11:18,980
...I had to get over
this girl who had me

1304
01:11:19,113 --> 01:11:20,347
wrapped around her finger.

1305
01:11:20,480 --> 01:11:22,349
I wanted to marry her so bad.

1306
01:11:22,415 --> 01:11:24,786
I was following her
around like a lap dog.

1307
01:11:24,919 --> 01:11:25,953
She crushed me.

1308
01:11:26,921 --> 01:11:28,222
Was that the English teacher?

1309
01:11:29,157 --> 01:11:31,424
[laughing] God damn it!
You've heard this story?

1310
01:11:31,559 --> 01:11:33,694
-No, not that part.
-[chuckles]

1311
01:11:35,362 --> 01:11:38,766
Well, it taught me to be
a little bit more discerning

1312
01:11:38,900 --> 01:11:40,134
the next time around.

1313
01:11:40,268 --> 01:11:42,036
The next time around,
you got a divorce!

1314
01:11:42,170 --> 01:11:45,173
Yeah! Well, I--
it also led me to Mia.

1315
01:11:49,577 --> 01:11:50,745
You should've seen me.

1316
01:11:50,878 --> 01:11:52,513
I thought I'd hopped the freight

1317
01:11:52,647 --> 01:11:54,649
I'd be on
for the rest of my life.

1318
01:11:55,983 --> 01:11:58,953
[clicks tongue]
Definitely thought
I had that with Cristina.

1319
01:12:06,627 --> 01:12:09,063
Other thing that can help
is a change of scenery.

1320
01:12:11,232 --> 01:12:12,266
Is that so?

1321
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,202
I'm just saying that
when I got divorced,

1322
01:12:14,401 --> 01:12:17,004
I wanted to get out
of there so fast.

1323
01:12:17,138 --> 01:12:18,739
Are you insinuating
something, Dad?

1324
01:12:19,307 --> 01:12:20,174
Hardly.

1325
01:12:20,708 --> 01:12:22,510
What-- did Mia
put you up to this?

1326
01:12:22,643 --> 01:12:24,178
Mia's too nice to kick you out.

1327
01:12:25,179 --> 01:12:29,116
And... I enjoy your company,
if you can believe it.

1328
01:12:29,717 --> 01:12:32,520
-[softly scoffs]
-But... [sighs]

1329
01:12:34,188 --> 01:12:35,723
...I would be remiss...

1330
01:12:38,125 --> 01:12:41,128
...if I didn't say that
it can be a lot easier to...

1331
01:12:42,063 --> 01:12:45,432
...put stuff behind you
in a new environment.

1332
01:12:47,168 --> 01:12:48,769
I lived here
way before I met her.

1333
01:12:49,737 --> 01:12:51,005
It means change, kiddo.

1334
01:12:52,472 --> 01:12:53,975
It could be good
to change with it.

1335
01:13:01,315 --> 01:13:02,617
Smoke on that, why don't you?

[gentle music playing]

1339
01:13:33,881 --> 01:13:34,849
You need any help?

1340
01:13:35,482 --> 01:13:38,119
-Absolutely!
-You guys baking?

1341
01:13:38,252 --> 01:13:40,087
Ding, ding, ding!
You wanna join us?

1342
01:13:40,221 --> 01:13:42,623
Yeah! Ben, you bake?

1343
01:13:42,757 --> 01:13:45,492
-When I'm home, yeah.
-Yeah, he just usually
eats the frosting.

1344
01:13:45,593 --> 01:13:47,361
-[chuckling]
-Okay, well,
at least I didn't almost

1345
01:13:47,494 --> 01:13:48,963
burn the house down
with an Easy-Bake oven.

1346
01:13:49,096 --> 01:13:50,831
-[laughter]
-[Cassie] What?

If it's not in your room,
it's probably gone.

can keep their stuff here

of boxes in the garage.

-What's up?

1369

I texted Evan, "I love you."

1370
01:15:02,737 --> 01:15:05,373
And I wrote out
this whole thing explaining
why I was saying that,

1371
01:15:05,573 --> 01:15:07,408
but then I just
ended up deleting it

1372
01:15:07,575 --> 01:15:09,910
and saying, "Merry Christmas!
I love you, emoji, emoji."

1373

and happiness

1376

01:15:21,389 --> 01:15:23,024
Liz, it-- it's Christmas Eve.

You're telling me
he hasn't looked
at his phone in four hours?

1379
01:15:29,163 --> 01:15:30,865
Maybe you should just put
your phone on Do Not Disturb--

1380
01:15:30,998 --> 01:15:32,833
I can't stop thinking about it!

You guys have been together
for a long time.

1382

or break everything.
-Yeah, but we've never once

-broken our guidelines.
-Okay, well,

maybe you can just look at this
as a test or something.
