Get one that's funny
but not too funny.

This doesn't seem to be
a joking matter.

They look like you.

I don't think getting my girl
a card with another family on it

is the right way
to go on this one, kid.

What about this one?

No. Cats.
Definitely, yeah, cats.

Right, 'cause I'm a dog,
a bad dog.

This one?

What's it say on the inside?

It says cool cats

and then there's some cats
playing musical instruments.

[laughs]

-That's stupid.
-I don't get it.

It's like cool cats, right?

It's a play on the word cats

because they're playing jazz
and back in the day

guys would refer to friends
or cool people as cats.

So, like cool cats.

Oh, yeah. Kind of like nigga.

No, wait, no. Why would you?
No. No. No. Okay?

-No. Don't say that word.
-Why not?

Because it's a bad word
for reasons you don't know yet

and if you say it again,
I'll hit you.

No, you won't.

[chuckles]

Yes, I will.

Ni... Ow!

I told you.

Can't hit me. I'm only nine.

-Does it hurt?
-Yes.

Good. You just learned
a very valuable life lesson.

Yeah, cause and effect.

Every action has a reaction

that you may or may not
be able to control.

You touch a hot stove,
you might burn your hand.

You run across the street
without looking,

you might get hit by a car.

You say the N word
around black people

you might get thumped
in the ear,

punched in the kidney, right?
But now you know,

you got to think about what
you do or say before you do it.

Makes sense?

Kind of.

Hey, listen. Hey, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have done that.
Let me see. Let me see.

Ow! What did you do that for?

'Cause it looks like you still
kind of want to say it

and I want you to know
what happens

if you even think
about saying it.

You'll thank me later in life,
I promise.

Okay, I won't say.
I won't think about saying it.

Geez! I'm sorry.

Hey, look, man. I'm sorry, okay?
Let me see.

-No, no, not this time.
-There you go, boom.

You know, fuck it.

I'll just get this one.

-You want anything?
-No, thanks.

Here. Put that on your ear.

[upbeat music playing]

[alarm ringing]

[phone beeps]

Uh, hey.

Oh, hey. Uh,

tell Katie to call me
when she gets up, yeah?

-I have to go to work.
-[Katie] I'm up.

Thanks for letting us
come over so late.

You are the best.

[tranquil music playing]

[Dr. Jones]
And how does that make you feel?

I hate when you ask me that.

[Dr. Jones] This is therapy,
Gabe. It's kind of
part of my job.

I don't know, fine, great,
terrible, empty. I don't know.

I'm single though, right?

I should be able to do
whatever I want to do.

I should feel great.
You told me that.

I think I told you that
you need to learn to let go

and be present and enjoy
the moment sometimes, yes, but--

You know, the threesome,
it wasn't even my idea.

It was theirs and yours.

It was not my idea.

Being single is just as stupid
as being in a relationship.

Like they rode away
on a scooter, Doc.

Like a regular ass scooter.

Why did you and Millie break up?

We're just taking a small break
right now.

Define that, a break.

We just, uh, we just...

We just got to figure
some things out.

[Dr. Jones] Okay, can you expand
on that a little bit more?

Gabe, what makes you happy?

You know anything about dreams,
animal dreams to be exact?

[Dr. Jones] A little, yeah. Why?

So, I had this dream
the other day

and I'm riding my bike
up this trail, right?

And it's starting to get dark

and I remember I got to get
to the top before the sun sets

because pretty soon
it's going to get too dark

to see in a little bit.

And, now, it's time to coast
back down, slowly at first

and then, all of a sudden,
I started picking up speed.

And there's potholes and cracks
and shit everywhere.

And on top of that, right,
my brakes stop working.

So now, here I am,
flying down this uneven path

with people all in the way

and I realize I either got to
just jump off this motherfucker

or I got to ride out
and just see what happens.

And I decide to jump.

And then, right before I jump,
I look over

and it's an elephant
running full speed

with a skunk on his back
staring right at me.

Then he puts his trunk out,
trips my bike,

I go flying in the air,

about to land on a pile of rocks
and probably die

and then I wake up.
What's that all mean, Doc?

-Do you have these dreams often?
-No.

[Dr. Jones] Animals in your
dream, all have various
meanings and symbolism,

but let me think on that
a little bit.

I'll get back to you next week.

Okay.

All right, time's up.
What's my homework?

[Dr. Jones] Your homework
is to really spend some time

and find the answer
to what I asked you.

[Gabe] Which is what?

What makes Gabe happy?

-I don't know.
-[Dr. Jones] I know.

That's why it's your homework.

-See you next Wednesday?
-See you next Wednesday.

[elevator dings]

Nice kicks.

[upbeat music playing on piano]

Hey, hon. Hi.

-How was your session?
-[Alec] Fine.

Good.

Good. Glad to hear that.

Well, I hope you're hungry
because Wednesday's--

Humpty hamburger day. I know.

Well...

[door opens]

Hey, there champ!
How's your session, huh?

[grunting]

-Fine.
-Fine, yeah.

It was.
That's what I like to hear, huh.

I'm going to go to my room
and work on my homework

until dinner is ready.
Is that okay?

Yeah, you don't need to ask
permission to do your homework.

Just do me a favor
and keep the door open.

[door closes]

-It smells good in here.
-Hmm.

[Randy] We have any hamburgers.

[teacher] That's a really
good job, Alec. Keep it up.

That's really good.

Okay, everybody, tomorrow we're
going to talk about

how all the slaves were freed
by Harriet Tubman.

Have a good lunch. Bye.

Hey, dick-breath.

Leave me alone, Jason.

I'll do whatever I want
dick-breath, my dad's a cop.

-My name's Alec.
-[Jason] It used to be.

Then I changed it
to dick-breath

and now,
now, it's shithead.

I'm pretty sure it's still Alec.

Nope, definitely shithead.

[Alec] Ow!

[kids laugh]

Get it. [laughs]

One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19...

[mumbles]

[upbeat music playing]

[Gabe] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's good. That's good.

That's what I'm talking about.
Right, well done, everybody.

You know what the time
is not for you. That's okay.

Yes, good job.
You're almost there. Let's go.

Ah, here we go. Get 'em.
Let's go.

Yeah, big dog. Bang it out.
Come on. We're almost done.

Okay. Eight...

Five, four, three, huh,
who wants to be sexy...

Two, one. That's time.
There we go.

Everybody get some water,
real quick, real quick.

Let's go. Good job.
Good job. Good job. Well done.

[sighs]

You know I started following her
on Instagram.

She posted a throwback Thursday

and she's had that butt
since she was a teenager.

Just a perfect butt
like Kim and Chloe.

It's not fucking fair.

I don't...

I don't think their butts
are real.

Whatever.

What do you even know
about butts anyway?

[woman 1] Ouch!

Why, what's wrong?

Oh, it's just my hamstrings
are really tight today.

Do you want to stretch it out
for me?

Uh, yeah. Sure.

You know, you don't want to
play around with hammies.

[woman 1] Right. Thank you.

It's just you are so good
at this.

Yeah, do you, um,
do you do home sessions?

All right, I think you're good.

[Gabe] Women are full of shit,
Doc.

I know we're not allowed
to say it now, but it's true.

Talking about,
"My hamstring's hurt."

I knew there wasn't nothing
wrong with her damn hamstrings.

You want to have a seat, Gabe?

Like, like nobody's happy
in a relationship. Nobody.

Why, why is she getting married
if she's out doing that, huh?

I'll tell you why
'cause nobody's happy.

She's not happy.

She's only getting married
'cause that's what society
tells you got to do.

You go out, you marry somebody
you barely tolerate,

you have some badass kids
to overcompensate,

then they grow up move out
the house, they stop calling you

and now you're stuck
with this person

who you didn't even like
for the rest of your dying days.

Oh, wait!
Unless you want to get a divorce

and then they just
take half your shit.

Oh, and even better, now you get
to watch the kids grow up

and make the same
stupid-ass mistakes you did.

And then you've just,
you just got to lie to them

and say stuff like,
"It'll get better."

Really, what you should say is,

"I never should have
gotten married, or had your ass,

or stayed at my job
as long as I did.

And now, I'm fat and old
and nobody cares

and just fucking
everybody's stupid."

[sighs]

[Dr. Jones] Are there any solid
examples of love in your life?

Yeah, yeah.
I love Twix ice cream bars.

And I'm being serious, Gabe.

Okay, my parents have been
married for 35 years

and love each other so much,
they sleep in separate bedrooms.

I've never even seen
my parents kiss.

You know what my mom did
last week

to show my pops
how much she loved him?

She purposely didn't pay
the cable bill

just so he missed game five
of the finals.

How's that for a solid
example of love?

Do you think you and Millie will
end up this way,

just like your parents?

[Gabe] 'm just saying
like "Love ain't enough, Doc."

And whatever love they had
is long gone.

My mom should have left my
father years ago and she didn't,

so now she resents him.

And my dad,
he's guilty about some shit

that happened a long time ago,

so whatever nonsense
my mother puts him through,

he just thinks he deserves it.

So, he won't leave either.

Like I said, everybody's stupid.

Is it possible that that's a
reason why you revealed to me

that you tend to
drive relationships away?

I'm saying like what if Millie
is really happy with me

and I'm really happy with her
and everything is great

and she still goes out and
fuck's a trainer from LA Fitness

and let's my cable get cut off?

There are plenty of
happy relationships out there.

You've got to water the garden.

There...

It can be fun if you're doing it
with the right person.

It just takes work.

What? No!

I hate when people say
that shit.

Relationships take work.
No, they don't.

You know what takes work?

Work, right?

I don't wanna go to work
and come home

and work on some more shit.
No, no, no.

I want my relationship
to be anti-work.

Fuck work and fuck gardens.

Gabe, you know, I, um...

did a little more research
on your dream.

Elephants, right?

"Elephants represent
a part of you

that may be having a tough time

letting something go
from the past,

or that you need to be
more patient

with something or someone.

Its trunk is also
a phallic symbol

for sexual needs and desires

yours,
or perhaps someone else's."

Conversely, the elephant's
introverted personality

may be a reflection
of your own personality.

Okay, so what about the
weird-ass skunk on his back?

[Dr. Jones] A skunk is an
interesting animal actually.

A skunk's natural defense
is to repel

without causing deadly harm.

So, the skunk could represent
you driving people away

or turning them off.

Okay. So why was the elephant
running so fast down the hill?

I don't know, Gabe.

Maybe things are moving
a little too quickly for you.

Maybe things are
getting out of control

and you don't like not being
in control, so what do you do?

You self-sabotage so no one else
can do it for you.

You repel.

It's a form of control
in and of itself.

It's like the student
who doesn't study for an exam

and then he gets an F
and then he convinces himself

that it's only because
he didn't study

that he received
a failing grade,

not because
he didn't know the material.

Failure to try
because of fear of failure

is worse than
trying and failing.

Whatever fears you have,

whatever thoughts
you're holding on to,

you have to find a way
to let them go.

Okay.

-Hi.
-Hey.

Damn, little man.
What happened to your kicks?

I don't know. I guess
I must have got them dirty

playing with my friends.

Huh.

Soap, water,
a little toothpaste,

-it'll get it right out.
-Really?

Yeah.

Huh.

-[Joanne] Good to know.
-Yeah.

[elevator dings]

[announcer 1 on TV] They meet
in the center of the ring

and here we go.

Alvarez, Walker.
I think this fight is gonna...

It's gonna be done
in the early round.

I think Alvarez is going to take Walker in the early round.

I know it's a five-round fight,

but I'm saying this round one
is going to be his round.

It's classic Alvarez.

And then round two
is going to be a--

[announcer 2 on TV] I fought Walker, I'm telling you

he's going to drag this thing
to five.

He's going to drag it to five.

He's got power in his hands

and he's going to
knock this boy out.

[announcer 1]
You may just be right.

Your fight with Alvarez is what Walker was watching all camp.

You have the best shot
with Alvarez.

I know Walker was looking
at your fight

and thinking
the exact same thing.

But I believe Alvarez, he is a Brazilian Ju-Jitsu black belt.

He is good at his job and there is no one more comfortable

in the middle of an octagon
than Alvarez.

[announcer 2] Walker is going to
be right there in the middle,

every single time.

He's gonna be able to take
all of Alvarez's shots.

I'm telling you
this is going to go five.

[announcer 1] And there's a
really great kick by Walker

and Alvarez is hurt.
Alvarez is hurt.

He is visibly hurt.

[announcer 2] He's got him
on the cage. He's got him...

And this is where Walker
is really damaged 'cause...

[announcer 1] And you can see
Alvarez really trying

to compensate for that pain.

[announcer 2]
He feels the--

[calm music playing]

Man, I don't know what
you had me doing last time,

but I'm still sore.

I could barely lift my guitar.

-Work?
-[Patrick] Yeah.

What was it?
The super spi... Super spina?

Supraspinatus.

-Super spi... Spina...
-Supraspinatus.

Supraspinatus.

Uh, it's great.

[grunts]

So, how's your business going?
It's good?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, it's good.

Just trying to get some
new clients

and, you know, get the word out,
but, yeah, it's good.

[Patrick] That's great.
Well, just let me know

if there's anything else
you need me to do,

more money or anything.

I got you.

Oh, no, no.
You've done more than enough.

Yeah, well, anything
for a friend of Millie's.

How is she doing by the way?
She's still taking pictures?

She's got such a great eye.

Yeah, no.
She's, uh, she's great.

She's started taking
a new photography class.

Pictures are getting
better and better.

-[Patrick] Oh, good.
-Yeah, now she's great.

So, I just bought
this green earth energy company

that helps turn old straws
and bottle caps

into cars and houses.

We're gonna launch it in
Portugal before our next tour.

I was thinking about
asking Millie to be

the artistic director
for the campaign.

-You think she'd be into that?
-Wow, to...

-Wow, in Portugal.
-Yeah.

-To go with you?
-Yeah.

Well, she took all
these pictures.

I took a year off

and she and I went backpacking
around the world,

all we had was what was
in our packs, in our pockets.

Here, check this out.

-Shot this in Bali.
-Hmm.

Have you been to Bali?

-Uh, no.
-It's amazing.

And then, um,
well, she caught this one

when we were on a sailboat
in Jakarta.

Have you ever been to Indonesia?

No.

You got to travel, Gabe.
See the world, it's incredible.

Here this one's my favorite.

So, we got caught
in a massive storm in Tahiti

and we weren't able to
leave that tent for two days.

-Millie.
-Okay, here we go.

-Workout time.
-Oh, sorry.

-Yep.
-Um...

-Yep, yep, you got it.
-Oh-ho-ho-ho.

[Millie] Oh, babe.
You are not gonna believe
some of the shots that I got.

I finally decided to get that
new R-Adapter for my Leica,

the one my cousin got me
for my birthday.

It is so dope, especially
when the sun is setting.

-Cool.
-Oh, and guess what else?

Kai got engaged.
Anthony finally proposed.

He hired this whole
like flash mob to do it,

so when they all started
dancing, he joined in

and then he got down on one knee
and popped the question.

Kai almost fainted,
it was so cute.

I got it on video
if you want to see it.

Okay.

What is it?

Is Marc trying to steal
another one of your clients?

I told you he's gonna keep doing
that if you don't say something.

That's nothing.

[Millie] Okay, you know
I know you too well for that.

Okay, look, if you wanted
something different,

I could have made
something different.

Nope.

Gabe, what is it?

Why'd you have to introduce me
to him?

No, Gabe. Come on.

-Please.
-I just can't figure it out.

-I cannot figure it out.
-Okay, look,

we have been over this
a thousand times.

He's an old friend that I knew
long before you,

mind you,
and I thought I could help.

You said you were over this.

Yeah, well, clearly,
I'm not over it

'cause this is what not over
it looks like.

I mean, what,
like what were you thinking?

Right, like how could I make
some not awkward shit

as awkward as possible?

Oh, I know, light bulb.

I'll introduce the guy
I'm currently dating

to my rich, successful,
ex-fiancé,

right, who's the rock star.

And then they can do business
together.

Yeah, that's genius.

Gabe will like that.

Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

I spend all of my time trying to
figure out how to piss you off.

Come on.

I did it for you.
You were trying to

get your personal training
business off the ground,

and you needed the money.

-To the a-hole.
-What?

What are you talking about?

He does free concerts
all over the world.

He donates half of his money
to not-for-profits

that go directly to women,
children, and Africa.

Yeah, tax write-off.

White celebrities always do that
shit when they wanna look cool.

Go off, adopt a little African
baby, fuck his hair all up,

take dumb pictures of him.

That shit ain't cool.
Don't make you a good person.

You know this is not fair.

Do I grill you about all the
women you've been with, huh?

I mean, you really want to open
that can of worms

'cause I don't think that
you do.

[scoffs]
I'm a little scared to ask

where you've been
or what you've been doing

since we've been on another one
of our little breaks.

Oh, you want to know
the difference, though,

I didn't love any of them

and it's different with you,
too, and you know it.

Okay, Gabe. Gabe, baby.

You, you've got to stop.

I'm not with him. I am...
I'm trying to be with you.

Patrick and I are just friends.
That is it.

No, no. You're not just friends.

That's your ex-fiancé.

He wants to take you on another
trip around the world somewhere.

You, him, and the camera,
taking pictures of him,

fucking serenading a dolphin.

Just tell me this though, right,

have we ever had sex
to one of his stupid-ass songs?

-Huh, we probably have--
-Oh, fuck you, Gabe!

Yeah, it's fucked up.

Who the fuck
do you think you are?

I mean you got me on this
twisted ass yo-yo,

breaking up with me
because you say you need space

and just when you're done having
space and done pouting about it,

we start hanging out again,
working to get back together

and then you pick a fight
with me

over the same old fucking shit
over again

just so you can break up
with me.

I mean, you know what, light
bulb, you're fucking awkward,

so don't put your shit on me,
okay?

I mean say what you want
about Patrick

but the only person who
makes me feel this low is you.

Nah, nigga.

[door closes]

Alec, hey, Alec.

We need you to come down to
the principal's office with us,

real quick.

Would that be okay?

Would you come with us?

[upbeat music playing]

What happened, Alec? Hmm?

Please talk to me.

What happened at school today,
honey?

Why did you do that?

[Randy] You know what,
you don't have to talk about it
if you don't want to

but that's
what Wednesdays are for.

You can let it all out with, uh,
Dr. Isaacs.

We're almost there.

Two, I even got you some
extra time for this session,

so you just take all the time
you need to be good to go, okay?

Turn around.
Just turn around, okay.

Turn around.
Everything's going to be okay.

Just keep facing the way
I'm facing him

and everything's
going to be fine.

[car door closes]

I just don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do, Randy.

There's something
wrong with him.

There's something wrong
with our son

and I knew it since he came out.

No, don't say that.
He's just a little different.

I was quiet when I was his age.
I'm fine, okay.

I turned out fine.
He's going to be fine.

He's just,
he's going through a phase,

he needs a little coaxing
out of his shell,

but he's strong,
my boy's a strong boy.

-[Joanne] My mother was right.
-[Randy] Hmm?

This is all my fault.

You mother's not right
about anything, Joanne, ever.

-Oh, Randy!
-I'm sorry.

You know he could have killed
that child. Do you know that?

Do you understand that
he could have killed him?

I mean, this is how
serial killers get started

and there are always
warning signs,

big glaring warning signs.

What if this is it?
What if Alec is a serial killer?

What would we do then?

We will love him just the same
as long as he doesn't kill us.

-[Joanne] Randy!
-I'm sorry.

Look, just relax. Relax.

I tell you what, let's go
to the farmers' market.

Is there one today?

We're gonna find one. I'm gonna
find a fucking farmers' market.

[suspenseful music playing]

How are you feeling today?

It's fair to say you seem down.

Well, 10 points for you.

Have you seen my wallet?
Did I leave it here?

I did. I left it out.

Would you like to talk about it?

What's to talk about?

Things are just fucked up
with Millie.

We'll just let it go
at this point.

Um, yeah. That's a wrap.

But where the fuck is my wallet?

[Dr. Jones] Why don't you
tell me what happened?

Are you married, Doc?

Well, I'm not here to talk
about my life, Gabe.

Okay, that's not what
you pay me for.

I'm here to talk about yours.

Okay, well, my life sucks,
fade out, the end.

Can we just... Can we talk about
something else?

I don't think your life sucks
from my personal perspective.

Look, you're alive,
you're physically healthy,

you have the beginnings
of a successful business.

You have a lot of things that
people work very hard for.

I can, uh... I can get your
supraspinatus right as fuck.

[Dr. Jones] Have you given
any more thought
to what makes Gabe happy?

Yeah, yeah.

Twix ice cream bars, remember?

Where the fuck is my wallet?

-Gabe?
-[Gabe] What?

Okay, I got to tell you
something.

Oh, wonderful!
What are you... Okay.

I'm damn good at my job.

I graduated top of my class.
I built my own practice.

Yeah, I don't see
what any of that

has to do with me.
This is my time.

It is quite evident to me
that you're full of shit.

Wow! Wow!

Yeah, you know, I definitely
don't pay you for that.

No. You think you pay me
to come in here,

listen to your problems,
and empathize with you.

And you want a gold star
because you're a black man

who took the difficult
but necessary step

to seek treatment
and better himself.

You want to be commended

because you think you're
coming in here and opening up,
but you're not.

What you really pay me for

is to unlock
a much deeper part of yourself

that is yearning to come out,
but that's impossible because,

well, you keep lying
to yourself.

So, go ahead. Keep it all in.

Bullshit me all you want.

I'll gladly keep taking
your money.

I rather enjoy
eating at Mastro's

but in the long run
it does you no good.

Hey, how much does my insurance
pay you?

A lot.

Yeah, damn. Obamacare, right.

Whatever, okay.

I am honest.

No, no, you're not.

See, you come here
week after week

and you say you're tired
of the same game

you've been playing
your whole adult life.

Gabe, you have a woman
who's ready

for what you say
you're ready for,

but instead of being a man
and putting in the work,

you waste time
betting and investing

in senseless relationships
just to prove the point

that there are no
sustainable relationships.

More failed tests
that you refuse to study for

and the more you fail,

the more you weave
this tangled web.

Yeah, like a retarded
Spider-Man.

Hey, keep telling your jokes.
You want to know what else?

-No.
-You're hurt.

You're afraid.

Of what?

Well, you don't want to end up
like your father

and you definitely
don't want to end up

with a woman like your mother.

So, there's rock
and a hard place and you.

You want to know what else?
You're hurt.

You don't even know how to cope
with what's hurting you.

You're so scared that
if you let your guard down

and you let someone in and they
see you, they see the real you,

flaws and all, you're scared
that they will still love you.

And you don't think
you deserve that love

because you live in the world

where you are constantly told
that you don't.

I'm here to tell you
that you do.

You deserve that love.

You deserve to be happy,

but you have to believe that.

Time's up.

Yeah, I'm tired of hearing
you talk anyway.

[tranquil music playing]

[panting]

[elevator dings]

[calm music playing]

What's up little man?
What you doing?

Just sitting.

Where's your grandmother?

She forgot to pick me up.
She's old.

Huh, well,
how you gonna get home?

I don't know.

I mean, do you live far
from here?

I mean, I can give you a ride.

Nay, I don't want to bother you,
Mister.

-Yo, what are you doing?
-Hitch-hiking.

It's what they do in the movies.

Yo, listen. No, nobody does that
anymore, man.

Look, it's cool. Just... I can
give you a ride home. Yeah?

-Okay.
-All right, come on.

[Gabe] No, no. Get in the front
seat, the front seat, the front.

-Oh, I'm Gabe by the way.
-Alec.

That way you're not roaming
with a stranger.

-Right.
-Put your seat back, relax.

So, where to?

Um, go out--
Go up here and make a left.

Oh, so, uh, how long have you
been in therapy?

Oh, it's about three
to four months.

Pretty new.
How about you?

Two years.

Two years?
How old are you?

-Nine.
-Nine?

Man, when I was nine,
I was running around outside,

getting bit by mosquitoes,
playing with my friends.

Kids need way more of that
these days. Fuck therapy.

-Pardon my language.
-It's okay.

I say that word sometimes.

Oh, you do?

Yeah, my parents
don't know though.

I say a bunch of words.

They think I'm real quiet.

I don't know why.

I guess I just don't
talk to them.

It's about how it usually goes.

Oh, make a right here.

Do you have any rap music?

What do you know
about rap music?

I like it.

My neighbor Tommy.

His older brother likes
rap music.

We used to sneak in his room
and listen to it.

I think I'll be a great rapper.

-[laughs] You know how to spit?
-Yeah.

No. No, man. That's... Not spit.

Spit like, like freestyle.

You know, make it up as you go.

Yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I'm the best.

-Really?
-Yeah, I'm the best in my class.

Okay, well, you know what,
let's see what you got.

[rap music playing]

Okay, yeah.

Do something,
do something with that.

Oh, okay. You got a mic too,
huh? Okay. Yeah.

♪ It's me, Alec
A.L.E.C. ridin' in a car♪

♪ Going real fast
Making it rain♪

♪ Twerk something, yeah ♪

Okay, yeah. No. No. No.

Stop. Stop it. Stop.
Stop that.

[Alec] I thought
I was doing good though.

Nah, you thought wrong.

Just, you know what?

When you think about rapping,
just don't, you know.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-[Alec] Start slowing down.
-[Gabe] Over here?

[Alec] Right over there, yeah.

Well, all right, little man.
It's fun hanging with you.

Yeah, okay.

See you next Wednesday?

-Yep, okay.
-Cool.

Wait, okay, could you just
wait here so I make it in okay?

Yeah, sure.

[cellphone dings]

[sighs]

Wait, what's wrong? Nobody home?

Yeah, nobody's there.

Probably thought my grandma's
gonna take me to her house

-and, yeah.
-Oh!

Well, what time do your parents
normally get home?

Around 6:00.

That is...
It's just after 3:00.

I can't leave you out here
for like three hours.

Are you hungry?

I'm starving.

Didn't really get to finish
my lunch at school.

All right.
Well, I left my wallet at home,

but I got about 17 bucks.

Let's see what we can get
with that?

-Deal?
-Deal.

All right.

[car engine revs]

[upbeat music playing]

[Gabe] Right, you really
were hungry, huh?

Told you, I didn't get
to finish my lunch.

Never fixed your kicks
like I told you either.

Nah, it's okay.

I'm going to get some
new ones soon.

Dad said if I join
a baseball team or something,

he'll give me some money.

He thinks team sports
will help me out.

I used to play baseball
when I was a kid.

I hated defense, but I loved
hitting things with a bat.

I still go to the batting cages
to this day when I'm stressed.

-You fast?
-I'm okay.

You know what?
Be a pitcher.

You don't have to be fast
to be a pitcher

and you make more money.

I don't like throwing
and catching.

Well, maybe you shouldn't
play baseball.

I really just want
some new shoes.

[cellphone vibrates]

Oh, crap.

[cellphone beeps]

[clicks tongue]

Wait! Is that Patty Nelson?

Yeah, that's Patty Nelson.

You're friends
with Patty Nelson?

-Something like that.
-Lucky!

Huh. Wait a minute!

[Alec] Hmm.

How'd you get that bruise?

Your parents did that to you?

No way. They believe in timeouts

and putting your hands
on your hips and stuff.

They never hit me.

You're getting bullied.

They did that to your shoes,
too.

I know bully work when I see it.

I used to get bullied
when I was a kid.

-You did?
-Yep.

Then you'll grow up,
start getting some muscles,

all that bullying stuff
will stop, promise.

No, not these guys.

[scoffs]

You got to see them every day?

Yeah, they're even
on the baseball team

my dad wants me to join.

One of the only good things
about therapy

being on Wednesdays is that

I don't have to go to their
stupid practice.

Wait, they have practice
right now?

Yeah, probably just
finishing up.

-Why?
-Come on.

-Where are we going?
-Just come on.

-I don't like surprises.
-Yeah, you'll like this one.

-I want to do it, man.
-Do it.

You don't think
I'm going to do it?

-I just said do it.
-I'll do it. You did it.

-I did do it.
-You don't think I can't do it?

You've been talking about
doing it for two years. Do it.

[Alec] That's two of them.
Luke and Kyle.

They once gave me a wedgie
so hard, it made me bleed.

Here, put this on.
Put this on like this.

Yeah.

No, on the ear like this.

Did she really take
half your stuff? Half?

I mean, no. She got
the whole house, all the kids,

the Range, not half of it,
the boathouse, the boat.

I mean...
I mean, come on.

-Let me just stare it.
-Look at that thing, man.

[suspenseful music playing]

Oh, damn it.

[Gabe] Come here, come here,
just gotta hand me out

[screaming]

I would let her take half
of anything from me.

[Gabe] Yeah, oh, yeah.
Come back. Come back. Come back.

Dad.

[Gabe] Hey! Shut up! Shut up!

Hey! Hey, get off my kid.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey.

[both groan]

[Alex laughs]

[Alec] You're such a joke.

[upbeat music playing]

[both laughing]

-That was awesome.
-Uh-huh.

Yeah, I bet they won't be
messing with your shoes anymore.

I was like pow, pow,
pow on his stomach.

Uh-huh. I think the other one
peed on himself.

Uh-huh, that's what they get.
Bullys.

Bullys.

Take that. You're good now.

-That was hilarious.
-Yeah.

All right, little man.
Had a crazy day today.

Yeah. Thanks for the help
and the ride.

Yeah, for sure.

I'll see you next Wednesday,
I guess.

Mm-Hm. Yeah, okay.

-Wait.
-Wait, what?

This...

This is not my house.

What do you mean
this is not your house?

We were just there.

Wait, I don't think this is
my neighborhood actually.

What do you mean
this isn't your neighborhood?

We were just there.
That's your house.

You don't know what
neighborhood you live in?

I do. I just... I've never been
in the front seat before.

Everything looks different
from up here.

Oh, my God!
All right, here.

Look, just call your mom

and I'll explain the situation
to her. It'll be cool.

I don't know my mom's number
by memory.

Okay, well, call your dad.

I don't either. Nope.

Well, dude, how are we supposed
to get you home

when you don't know
how to get home?

Like, can you explain
what your house even looks like?

I mean, this doesn't make
any sense.

-Well, it's big.
-Okay.

-Two stories.
-Okay.

And um, it's by the beach.

By the beach,
nigga, we in the valley.

[sighs]

-Alec, we're in the valley.
-It's okay.

I know you don't mean it
in a bad way.

You mean it like the rappers do,
like friends.

All right, look.
I got to get gas.

You got any money on you
at least?

No.

Got to go home, get my wallet,
get some gas

and figure out
how to get you home.

Okay.

This don't make no sense.

[upbeat music playing]

[Gabe]
Bro, what is she doing here?

[sighs]

Stay right here.
I'll be right back.

Okay.

Bailey, what are you doing here?

You haven't been getting
any of my texts?

Oh! Oh, I hope you die,
and your dick falls off.

-That's been you?
-Yes.

[Gabe] Right. Well, there's a
reason I deleted your number,

so, again,
what are you doing here?

I'm on break from work
and I've been waiting for you

to get home, so I can go in
and get the rest of my stuff.

What are you talking about?
You didn't leave anything.

[Bailey] Yes, I did.

I have a pair of earrings and
a scarf and I can't find them,

so they must be in there.

You didn't leave
your stuff here. I promise.

Can you just let me go in
and look for it?

I mean, it won't take long.

Bailey, you're tripping.

You know I don't have
your stuff.

[Bailey] Did you look
under the bed?

[Gabe] I don't have your scarf
and earrings, okay?

I mean, shit happens

when you're doing the
bucking bronco on the wall.

Come on, it must have fallen off
or something.

Just let me go in. Come on.

You have five minutes,

'cause I don't have time
for whatever this is.

Okay, five minutes. Damn.

-Five minutes.
-Five.

Come on, Alec.

[Bailey] I got time for this.

-Who is this little white boy?
-[Gabe] Don't worry about it.
Come on.

Just come on.

There it is.

Okay, right? So, as you can see,
clearly your stuff isn't here.

-Can you please go?
-Don't rush me,

those earrings meant a lot
to me.

I'm gonna go in the bedroom
and check.

It's where we would've
spent most of our time.

She smells like vanilla.

-Cocoa butter.
-What's that?

-What's what?
-Cocoa butter.

Oh, it's... It's like,
you know what, I...

I don't know what it is.

It's kind of like lotion,
but it's not.

Like black people use it
for everything.

Hmm.
Oh, is she your girlfriend?

No, no, no, no. She's just a
bunch of whiskey shots

and a mistake.
That's-- That's what she is.

[Alec] Hmm.

[Bailey] Gabriel.

I'll be right back.

Uh, Bailey. What are you doing?

I know somebody's been here.

Your room has never been
this fucking clean.

-Look at this.
-Okay, I need you to understand.

You look like a bona fide
crazy person right now

and it's actually making me
uncomfortable.

I don't care. I want to know
who you've been with.

[Gabe] Bailey, we haven't kicked
it in damn near two months.

I told you,
I got a girlfriend now.

Yeah, that was after
we had already had sex

a thousand times.

We had sex twice.

And then you went
and you got a girlfriend

and you didn't even tell me.

Me getting a girlfriend
was the reason

you and I stopped talking.

Do you not remember?

That's when you hung up.
It was the first time
you had texted me,

"Hey, I hope you die
in a fiery crash on 101 North
with your dick in your hands."

-Remember that?
-I was-- I was just upset.

Baby, let's just-- let's just
have sex and make up.

Bailey, stop.

What? What!
Is her pussy that good? Huh?

I know it's that little yamp
Millie. Is it her?

'Cause I went on her
little Instagram page

and I saw some love quotes
she posted

and I know it was about
your dumb stupid ass.

Okay, thank you very much.

Now it's time for you to go,
please.

Right this way. Uh-huh.

Are you two still
seeing each other?

It's complicated. Why?
Just go.

'Cause I'm pregnant
and it's yours.

-What?
-Yep, you heard me right.

Pregnant.

So, what you gonna do, Gabe?

You going to be a deadbeat
or are you gonna do what's best
for me and Gabe Jr.?

Oh, I got to get back to work.

Listen, I'll be back tonight,

so we can discuss
what the plan is gonna be.

My mom is not going to be
happy with you

but you're going to love her.

Okay, I'll see you later.

[door opens then closes]

Everything okay?

Whiskey.

Hey, isn't that the stuff
you were just talking about?

Makes you make bad decisions.

Is it any good?

[groans]

Can I have some?

[coughs]

See.

[sighs]

If it-- if it's nasty and it
makes you make bad decisions

then, um, why do you drink it?

That is a good question.

[sighs]

Oh, fuck this shit.

Oh, shit! Come on.

What are you gonna do with that?

Hit shit.

[upbeat music playing]

-You're gonna hurt yourself.
-[Gabe] Just keep them coming.

[panting]

Feel better yet?

-Not really.
-[Alec] Can I try?

I thought you said
you didn't like baseball.

I said I didn't like the bullies
that play in the team

and throwing and catching.

Never said anything
about hitting.

You know omission
is a form of a lie, right?

Your parents ever
teach you that?

So, like when you don't tell
your real girlfriend

that you got another girl
pregnant.

Is that like a lie?

[sighs]

If my son is anything like you,
I don't know what I'm gonna do.

[Alec] Nobody's like me.

But you just have to talk
to him, not at him.

That's why I ignore my parents.

That's why I go to my room
and play video games.

[panting]

Take that off.

What are you wearing that for
anyway?

Put that on.

Oh, yeah.

How do I do this?

You just see it and hit it.
It's pretty simple actually.

-Ready?
-No.

No, you got to--
you got to swing at it.

I told you I wasn't ready.

Well, if you stay ready,
you don't have to get ready.

-Ready?
-Sure.

[Gabe] Okay.

I quit! I'm done.

No, you can't quit.
I mean, sometimes you miss.

You just do it again.
It's okay.

-I don't want to try again.
-No, you have to.

I don't want to do it.
I don't want to do it.

-I don't want to do it.
-What the--

-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9--
-Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Boy, what the f--
Hey, boy!

You'll settle down
in this batting cage.

-What's wrong with you?
-I can't do it.

That's 'cause you're
running around yelling numbers

and not hitting the ball.

I need a timeout.

Hey, fuck a timeout.

You're gonna stand up here

and you're gonna hit
one of these balls, okay?

[Alec] Okay.

[claps] Come on.

Fucking timeout.

Now, here we go, all right?

It's okay. It's okay.
Don't go all Hulk on me.

Just try again, all right?

You can do this.

-There you go. There you go.
-Gabe, Gabe, I touched it.

-Yeah, you see that?
-I did it. Did you see?

Yeah. Yeah, I saw that.

Right, now, see look, when life
gets hard, you don't quit.

You stand in that box
and you figure it out, right?

[Alec] Yeah.

[both panting]

[Alec] What's wrong?

[groans]

I'm not ready to be a dad, man.

Not like this.

You'll be a cool dad.

My dad never does stuff
like this with me.

[phone vibrates]

It's Millie.

Millie.
Is that your real girlfriend?

I think so.

-Should I answer?
-Yes.

Okay, last question.

Should I tell her in person
or on the phone?

-Definitely in person.
-Yeah.

[beeps]

Hello. Hey.

Yeah, yeah.
I'm just finishing up
at the batting cages.

Hey, I need to, um, I need to
talk to you about something.

I can-- I can swing by.
Are you gonna be there?

Okay. Okay,
I'll see you in a bit.

-A card.
-What?

Get her a card.
Girls like cards, don't they?

Ow! What did you do that for?

You'll thank me later in life,
I promise.

Okay, I won't say,
I won't think about saying it.

Boom.

Here, put that on your ear.

[scanner dings]

Oh, oh, excuse me, sir.
Sorry, can you come back.

It's just the Bing Bong.

Oh, the Bing Bong
must be broken,

'cause, clearly,
I just paid for this.

I doubt it, man.

Let me just-- All right,
if I can-- let me just--

-What are you doing?
-[man 2] Make sure--

Get off me, man.
We got money.

I ain't taking nothing
from this damn store.

Yeah, I know you do, man,
but I just--

Come on. I got to--

Don't-- quit frisking me, dude.

Hey, man,
let's record this shit, man.

I just told you I didn't take
nothing from this damn store.

I'm going to call the cops.

Call-- call the cops, for what?

You just saw me buy this.
I didn't do nothing.

All right, well,
if you didn't do nothing
just let me frisk you, man.

-Come on.
-No.

I promise you,
if you touch me one more time,

I'm going to smack the shit
out of you.

[man 2] Ow.

Did you see?

Right? Right, I told him.

Yep, I heard you tell him.

Cause and effect.

Totally. Totally understand.

Called racist profiling.

We learn about that in school.

[Gabe] What?

Where the--

-Are you serious?
-You want some?

No. Give me that.

[brakes screeching]

[Gabe] I'm sorry I slapped you,
kinda.

But that's not why we're here.

I'm saying.

I took this without paying.

You took it.

That's-- that's why
the Bing Bong, 'cause--

-'Cause you took it.
-Mm-hm, genius.

Okay, so what do you want to do,
restock it or something?

No. Just tell me how much it is
so I can pay for it

-and I can go about my--
-You slapped me for no reason.

No, no, no.

Cause and effect
got you slapped, okay?

But that's not the point.

Trying to teach him
a valuable lesson.

Are you guys in like the Big
Brothers, Big Sisters program
or something?

You know I've-- I've seen that

but I've never seen
a black adult and a white kid.
It's usually like uh--

Hey, I don't want you to say
extra words.

Tell me how much this
fucking candy bar is

so I can go about my day, okay?

Well, there's no wrapper on it,
so I can't scan it.

Scan another one.

If I scan another one that's
gonna be a separate transaction.

So, I'm gonna have to
void this one out.

So?

So, my manager doesn't like
when I void things out.

He's going to slap you again.

Scan another bar,
tell me how much it is.

He's been having
a very, very bad day.

Alec!

Hey, how much is it?

Hand me a napkin out of
the glove compartment.

This.

Hand me the card.

You got a little chocolate
on your hands.

There's a little bit
around your thumb.

There's some on your wrist.

Just give it. It's fine.
Just give it to me.

Just give it to me.
Thank you.

So, what are you gonna say?

Like, I love you.
I'm sorry and a big jerk
or something like that.

What do you think?

I don't know.
I've never had girlfriends.

You're too young anyway.

Well, there's just one girl,
Sarah.

She goes to my school.

She's kind of like
my girlfriend.

Hmm.

Just I haven't told her yet so.

Yeah, no. I don't think you can
call her your girlfriend then.

Oh, but she is my girlfriend.

She is, yeah.

All right. Come on.

Wait, I have anything
in my teeth?

I can't tell.
Your gums are black.

Do all black people
have black gums?

I don't know.

-Why?
-Why what?

Why are my gums black
or why don't I know

if every black person
in the world has black gums?

The first one.

I don't know, black people
and white people are the same,
but different.

[sighs]

[Alec] Hi.

Can we come in?

So, Gabe, who's this?

I'm Alec.

You got any lemonade
or something?

Hi, Alec.

Whose little white kid
did you steal?

This is for you.

And as far as Alec goes, we go
to the same therapist building
on the same days.

We see each other
on the elevator sometimes

-after sessions.
-We're best friends.

He called me the N word earlier,
but in a good way.

-Really, Gabe? Really?
-It just slipped out.

-Have you been drinking?
-No.

[Millie] You just gonna lie
to me now?

You know I can always smell
alcohol on you,

you have thin blood.
[sniffs]

You've been drinking whiskey.

Okay, a little, earlier.

He gave me some, too.
It was gross.

I'm having a rough day, okay?
I'm grown.

I can have a drink
during the day.

Lapse in judgment
giving him some.
I'll give you that.

Anyway, Alec came to me
after a session.

He said he needed a ride home.
I offered him one.
I told him I'd take him.

I went to what I thought was
his house, but he was confused.

-Probably 'cause he's drunk.
-He's not drunk.

We went just like ninjas
and beat the crap out of these
two kids who bully me

-and then played baseball.
-Okay, that's enough, Alec.

Millie, that's not why
I came here, okay?

I really got to tell you
something.

What is it? Because I'm still
a little hung up

on you getting a 9-year-old
drunk.

We're not drunk, just warm,
that's what my dad always says.

[cellphone vibrates]

[beeps]

Gabe, what?
Why are you here?

I, um, I-- I-- I just really
need your help, okay?

We got to find out
where he lives,

find out where his parents are
so we can return him home, okay?

We?
Now all of a sudden we're a we?

Yes, we.
I need your help, okay?

[sighs]

Fine, let me get my purse.

We'll get you home, okay?
Don't worry.

Gabe.

What's this for?

Support.
It's what my friends do.

Oh, and I also got to tell you
something.

What?

Cause and effect.

You told a lie, so I hit you,
so you wouldn't lie again.

It's pretty good.
It's pretty good.

My therapist says
hitting when I'm mad is bad.

Well, she's right.

Doing anything when you're mad
is wrong.

What-- what are you mad about
anyway?

You're young, you got a
whole life ahead of you.

Getting mad comes later
in your 30s.

Today something happened.

What?
What happened at school today?

So, you know, how there are
three kids who are bullying me?

Yeah, we got revenge
on two of them at the park.

So, there's a third.

Okay, so.

I burned him.

I lit him on fire
in the bathroom.

This was just a small one,
to make him sweat a little.

I've been telling the teachers
that Jason was a bully.

They just said,
"Kids will be kids."

And you gotta stand up
to bullies.

That's what the commercials
always say.

So, I took a lighter
from my mom's purse,

put a little lighter fluid
from our garage

in this little syringe

that my mom used to
flush wax out of her ears.

[tense music playing]

Then followed him to the
bathroom and wet his new shoes,

then lit him on fire.

Is the kid-- is the kid dead?

No.
It just got up to his knees.

It was funny though.

He was running around
like a little girl.

My girlfriend Sarah saw him run
out of the bathroom
and down the hall.

Then I just smiled at her
and then just went back
to the cafeteria

and started eating my lunch.

Sometimes things just
had to be burned.

Okay, you guys ready?

Hey, what color are your gums?

All right. Let's get me home.

[calm music playing]

[Millie] Does any of this look
familiar to you, Alec?

I mean do you live by any, um--
any big landmarks or?

-Oh, yeah. I am actually.
-[Gabe] Oh, that's great!

Which one?

Um, there's a donut shop
around the corner.

Dude, there are a thousand
donut shops in L.A.

Oh, I found a good
one up on Vermont.

It's so good.

[cellphone vibrates]

[cellphone beeping]

My phone's about to go dead,
you have your charger on you?

This is your car, Gabe.

Why would I have
a phone charger?

You could just say no.

That would be
way more efficient.

Okay, you know what?
You can just--

[Gabe] All right,
I'm gonna swing by the gym,

I got an extra charger there.
It's right around the corner.

[sighs]

-Ah, Gabe.
-Hey, man.

Congrats, bro. Listen,
I want to hear all about it,

but I got a new client
coming up.

-Okay.
-All right.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Heard the news, so awesome bro.
I didn't even know.

What are you talking about?

Dude, your fiancée just told us
the good news.

You're getting married
and having a baby!

-Wait, wait, wait.
-Yo, I better be invited

-to the wedding.
-My fiancée?

Yeah, she's inside, showing
everybody your baby picture
and her baby picture,

trying to figure out
what the baby's gonna look like.

[weights clattering
and thudding]

[Bailey] Can you get me
a blue baby stroller?

-That's really what I need.
-Uh, Bailey. What are you doing?

Oh, hey, baby.

I'm just on the internet looking
for strollers for the baby.

Oh, can you believe some of
them come with three wheels?

Yeah, can I talk to you outside
for a second?

-Can it wait?
-No, it cannot wait.

Okay, and they say we get
hormonal when we're pregnant.

[laughs] It was so nice
meeting you, you guys.

Oh, okay.
What are you doing?

Why are you grabbing me
like that?

What are you doing, huh?

You can't just come up
to my job like that

telling everybody my business.

You're about to be a father,
Gabe.

You need to get that idea
wrapped around your head,
sweetheart.

And those colleagues of yours
need to know what's going on

because I'm not gonna be at home
raising a baby by my damn self.

So you might have to start
hiring some more people
around here or something.

[Gabe] Listen, Bailey!

How do I even know it's mine?
Hmm?

Are you?
Are you calling me a whore?

-No.
-[Bailey] Are you calling me
a whore?

No, but I'm saying,
I don't talk to you
for like two months, right?

I tell you I got a girlfriend
and all of a sudden...

-[Bailey] Wow.
-...you show up

and you're pregnant.
I'm just-- come on!

Who's that chick?

Oh, she's Bailey.

How do you know who Bailey is?

I met her at Gabe's house.

She and Gabe are going to have
a baby together--

What did you just say?

[Bailey] Just sticking your
thing wherever you feel like it

but when it comes
to responsibility,

you can't handle the heat.
So, what?

I guess I'm just supposed to
just start

tricking on the street now, huh?

Just sucking dick to put
Gabe Jr. through private school.
Is that what you want?

You want me to start sucking
dick for our son's school, Gabe?

-Oh, my God.
-What kind of father are you?

Look, Bailey,
I'm not about to have

this dumbass conversation
with you.

Not here.
Can you please just go?

-Please.
-Is it?

Is that Millie?

He wasn't happy about it.

That's why we came to your house
and Gabe got you a card.

I am begging you,
will you please leave.

-Oh, my God!
-[Gabe]
Right now is not the time.

You brought her here?

-Really?
-[Gabe] Look, babe, babe.

Wow. I can't believe you
right now.

Babe, we'll figure it out.

We'll talk about it later.

We'll figure it out, but could
you please just go now.

Please, for me.

Could you do that
for me, please?

-Okay.
-[Gabe] Okay.

But you better tell that bitch
what it is, Gabe.

-Okay, I will.
-Because I don't want her

-wrecking our home.
-All right.

-[Bailey] Okay?
-Okay. I understand.

And on the real,
if I wasn't carrying our child,

-I would whoop that ass.
-I understand.

-Tell her what I said.
-I will.

I'll call you later
or something.

Or something?
Gabe, don't get it twisted.

I'm gonna start needing some
money soon

'cause I'm starting maternity
leave any minute now, okay?

All right. Okay.

Give me a kiss.

I'll kiss you later.
I'll kiss you later.

Gabe, who's that?

-It's just this--
-Is she pregnant?

[sighs]

It's not what it looks like.
I promise.

[car engine revs]

Vroom, vroom, vroom.

Hey, good to see you, man.

Patrick, did I miss a session
or something?

What are you doing-- what are
you doing here with Mark?

Hey, Gabe. Um...

Look it-- it just really
wasn't working out

with you training me,
so I got a new guy.

This is Mark.

Hey, did you hear
Gabe's having a baby?

Congratulations!

What's with those bands?

-Let's get in.
-[Mark] Come on.

Is that Millie?

Hey, you look amazing!

[Millie chuckles]

What are you--
what are you doing here?

Uh...

I actually have no idea
what I'm doing here.
[scoffs]

Do you have plans right now?

I-- I got something I've been
dying to talk to you about.

Let's-- let's get some food,
we'll get a drink.

I'll-- I'll tell
you all about it.

Yeah. Yeah, I could use a drink.

[Patrick] Great.
Hey, Mark, I'm really sorry.

I-- I'm-- I'm gonna have
to reschedule, okay. Um...

-This is important.
-[Mark] Got you.

Yeah. I already, already
prepaid the ten, right?

-[Mark] You're good.
-I'll see you again.

-[Mark] Gotcha.
-Thanks.

-Grab your stuff.
-Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Okay.

[car engine sputtering]

Well, this is embarrassing.

This is why
I never drive myself.

Gabe, do you have a car?

Would you give me and Millie
a ride to my house?

Yeah, Gabe.
Could you do that
for Patrick and I?

[Patrick]
I'd really appreciate it.

Hi, um, hey,
who, who's this kid?

I'm... Wait. Who am I?

Well, you're Patty Nelson.

You're like the best
guitarist ever.

Well, thanks.
I'm flattered you think so.

Alec. That's my name. Alec.

Right on, Alec.

Hey, um, maybe it's best if you
turn around and face front.
Might be safer.

My parents make me sleep
with the door open.
They think that's safer.

He's going through some changes.

Yeah, but I'm in therapy
because I burned the kid
at school.

You burned a kid?

Okay, Alec, turn around.

That's Patty Nelson, the legend.

I know. Just turn around.
Just right now, turn around.

[screaming]

-Why?
-Alec, stop!

Alec, calm down!
Alec, calm down.

Calm down.
We already did this, bro.

We're not doing this again,
okay? Stop.

Can I ride the rest of the ride
looking at Mr. Nelson now?

I'd rather you didn't.

So, Gabe, did I hear correctly,
you're gonna have a baby?

Yeah, Gabe,
did we hear that correctly,
you are going to have a baby?

It's a little more complicated
than that I suppose.

What exactly is so complicated?
I mean, sex is pretty simple.

I mean, you insert A into B, you
drop a load off and then boom,

nine months later
you have a baby.

-What's so complicated?
-No, maybe,

maybe right now
is not the best time.

Oh, it isn't? It's not
convenient for you, Gabe?

What are you gonna save it all
for your next little
therapy session?

I mean, you are unbelievable.

You can open up to every person
on this planet except for me,

but you know what, actually,
it's fine.

Maybe you can explain
to Dr. Jones

how someone who's too afraid
to be in a healthy

and loving,
committed relationship,

thinks it's a better idea to
knock up a random chick instead.

-I mean that'll be,
ooh, that'll be a great session.
-[Gabe sighs].

Guys, this, uh,
kid is freaking me out.

I don't think he's blinked
the entire time
he's been staring at me.

Actually, you know what,
it's good.

Alec should hear all about
his new best friend.

That way he can grow up
to be just like him.

Look, no, everybody listen,
if we could just...

We get Patrick home, then we'll
find out a way to get Alec home.

I say we drop
the good son off first.

[Gabe] I'll explain all this
later, babe. I promise.

We, there you go again
with the "we" stuff.

We didn't raw dog
the squat-legged chick
back there in the leggings,

the one you got pregnant.

[Patrick] Oh, dude.
You got to wear protection.

There's diseases out here
that'll make your junk fall
right off.

My mom calls it
the willy [inaudible].

Got me out here making chicken
tacos, trying to hang out again?

And this whole time
you've got a chick pregnant?

-And you weren't gonna tell me.
-She does not...

-I don't even know if it's mine.
-[Millie] You didn't think
I'll find out?

-Unreal.
-[Dr. Jones]
How does that make you feel?

How does that make you feel?

How does that make you feel?

-How does that make you feel?
-[Millie] Gabe.

Gabe! Where you going?

[Gabe panting]

Gabe! Gabe! You're being
ridiculous, get in the car.

I can't get in the car.
I can't get in.

Why not? It's your car.
We can take you
wherever you want to go.

If I get... If I get back
in the car, I'll kill you all.

[Millie] Okay, you're not going
to kill anybody.

You're just having another one
of your anxiety attacks.

Nope, nope. This was real.

I'll kill you all
if I get back in the car.

-[Millie] Gabe.
Gabe, get in the car.
-No, I can't.

Gabe! Gabe!

Where the fuck is he going?

[sighs]

[scoffs] What a day!

You know, Gabe was pretty upset
when he heard
he was gonna be a dad.

What'd he say?

He said she was like a whiskey
mistake or something like that.

Yeah, pretty sure.

I know where he's going.

-Yeah?
-Mm-hm. Wednesday, right?

[footsteps approaching]

[panting]

-Gabe. Are you okay?
-Yeah.

Is someone chasing you
or something?

No, no. I'm fine, I just--

Are you, are you hurt?

Oh, it's just...
I just can't breathe.

All right, here, here, here.

Drink this.

You don't look... You know what,
I'm going to call somebody.

No, no. [coughing]
I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

I just can't breathe.

Okay, look, just,
everything's going to be fine.
Just take a breath.

[continues panting]

Look, this day has to be
the worst day of my life.

Okay, just tell me
what happened.

Okay, well, first of all, right,
I run away from my car.

I leave my, my ex, Millie,
with her ex-fiancé Patty Nelson.

I love that guy.

Yeah, and then, and then
I'd be riding around all day

with some, some kid
who just might be
the next Hannibal Lecter.

Oh, oh, and I,
I'm about to be a father.

Yeah, yeah.
I got some random chick
pregnant.

I don't even like her.
She shows up to my job.

I messed with her like
a couple of months ago.

She's pregnant.
She's keeping 'em and, yeah,
it's just, it's just all bad.

Okay, just take a,
take a second.

Hang on a minute.
Just, just take a breath.

Everything's gonna be all right.
You're gonna be fine.

No, no. I'm not gonna be fine.

You keep saying that shit
and it's not true.

Okay? It just keeps getting
worse and worse.
Everything sucks.

I'm not ready to be a father,
man, not like this with her.

I love Millie and I was really,
really trying to make it work

and this fucking thing happens.

Who's this kid that
you were hanging out with?

[Gabe] It's Alec. He's some kid
who goes to therapy
in the building somewhere.

Oh, God!

-Oh, God!
-Why? Why?

-What?
-Everybody, everybody,

everybody has been looking
for him.

-What?
-Yeah.

He didn't show up
for his session today,

so they've been looking all over
for him.

He's not missing,
he's in the car.

All right, Gabe, listen.
I need--

That motherfucker.

I need you to,
to bring him upstairs,
so I can, I can see him.

-Not that you would do anything.
-There's nothing wrong with him.

There's nothing wrong
with him, okay?

Except he burns little kids
at school.

I need to protect the safety
of this child. Can you please

-bring him up to here?
-Safety? He's fine.

-He's fine. He's fucking fine.
-[Dr. Jones] Okay.

[upbeat music playing]

[cellphone vibrates then beeps]

-Gabe. Gabe.
-[Gabe] Come here. Come here.

[Millie] Gabe, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Easy, easy.

-[Gabe] Come here.
-[Patrick] Hey, hey, hey.

You've been lying to me.

You said your grandmother forgot
to pick you up

because she's old
after your session.
But you never went.

Right. Right.

And then you took me on this
wild-ass goose chase

pretending you were locked out,
stealing candy and shit.

You got people thinking
you're fucking kidnapped.

I never should have picked
your ass up in the first place.

Well, Gabe, Gabe,
I think that's enough.

[Gabe]
Oh, what do you care, huh?

Right, you're leaving me anyway
without even hearing my side,

so you don't have to worry about
what I do anymore.

Now, listen, you're gonna
tell me where you live.

You're gonna tell me
what's going on.

You're gonna tell me right now.
I'm not playing anymore.

Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
I told a fib earlier.
I'm sorry.

I know where I live.
I just didn't want to
go back to my house.

My dad will keep
ruffling my hair,

my mom would keep looking at me
like she's about to cry.

They don't know me.

I just want to hang out
with you.
You're my only friend.

I just didn't want to go back
to my house, that's all.

[Patrick]
I would like to go home.

Dude, shut the fuck up, Patrick.

[sighs] Listen, it's okay, man.
It's okay.

We just got to get you home,
man. We got to do that, okay?

Maybe I could work
something out,

if you start playing baseball,
I could,

I could come to your game
or something.

You're my pal still.
You're my pal.

-Okay, promise?
-[Gabe] I promise.

[calm music playing]

[sighs]

I live at
11204 Sycamore Boulevard.

[sighs]

[ominous music playing]

Hey, man.

I'm sorry for that stuff I said
back there.

I, I didn't mean anything.
You didn't deserve it.

It's okay.
You are having a bad day.

[sighs]

I'm sorry, too.

I know.

[Gabe] Can we please talk later?

I think this is it.

-Can I help you?
-Yeah, I'm just...

You guys are probably looking
for Alec, so, I just...

All right. Hey, freeze! Let me
see your hands right now!

-Hands! Let me see 'em.
-Who?

-You. Put your hands up?
-Okay.

-Do not put them down.
-Okay.

-What the fuck is happening?
-Get on the car. Get on the car.

-What are you'll doing?
-[Millie] What are you
arresting him for?

Son, everything's okay.
All right?

-You're safe.
-I've been safe.
Gabe is my friend. No.

Okay, wait,
why are you arresting him?

-[cop 1] I need you people
to back up?
-You break my fucking arm,

-I'm gonna beat that ass...
-Stop resisting.

I'm not resisting.

Guys, this is a
misunderstanding.

-[cop 1]
I'm not gonna tell you again.
-Don't talk to her like that.

-Hey, shut up. Come on.
-[Millie] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

-Officer. Officer.
-[Patrick] This is a mistake.

-[Alec] He's my friend!
-Where are you taking him?

He's not the bad guy.

Alec. Oh, my God, honey!

Honey, are you okay?
We've been worried sick.

[Randy] That, that man,
he didn't touch you anywhere,
did he?

Tell them to let him go, dad,
tell them.

Yeah, let the police
do their job.
They're the heroes today, chief.

-Hi, hi. You're his parents?
-[Randy] Hi.

I'm Millie.
I'm Gabe's girlfriend.

I think this whole thing is a
huge misunderstanding.

Gabe would never hurt Alec,
they're friends.

Friends? No, a man in his 30s
and my child

don't need to be friends.
There's no misunderstanding.
Your boyfriend kidnapped my son.

-Okay, I--
-[Joanne]
Okay, we've been worried sick.

Oh, my word! Oh, my word!

It's Patty Nelson.
You're Patty Nelson.

Nelson, can I get
your autograph?

My friends at work are never
gonna believe this.

-Give me something to write on.
-It's not the best time.

And, and who do you think
you are?

What kind of grown man hangs out
with a 9-year-old all day?

You should be ashamed
of yourself.

Ashamed? What?
You don't even know your son.

You know, he doesn't even
like hamburgers, stupid.

-Come on.
-[Millie] Gabe,
hang in there, okay.

We're going to, we're going to
get you out of this.

Patrick has plenty of money.
We're going to figure this out.

Yeah, yeah. No.
Anybody's money but his.

-Anybody's but his.
-[cop 1] Hey, shut up!

-Patrick Nelson is the best.
-[cop 2] Get in the car.

-[Gabe] Fuck Patty Nelson.
-[cop 1] Get in the car.

Ma'am, let's get you inside.

You and your family don't need
to see this.

-Everything all right?
-Uh, yeah. We're getting there.
So, what happened?

Are you involved
in this kidnapping?

I mean, I know you're not,
but you're his girlfriend.

What do you know about this?

What do you mean what do I--

Alec needed a ride home from
therapy today, so Gabe took him.

Therapy?
Why does your boy need therapy?

He's, he's got some
behavioral issues.

He's just figuring out
who he is.

Um, and that monster
must have grabbed him
after Alec's session.

Today he's had a particularly
rough day at school.

He's probably emotional
and, you know,

that, that man
took advantage of it.

What happened with
Alec at school?

In a roundabout way,
he was the cause of an accident
to another student.

Alec burned a kid
for bullying him.
That's what happened.

Did this, uh, did this happen
at Burroughs Grade School?

Yeah, why?

Oh, my God! You little fucker!

-You little fucker!
-[cop 3] Joe, Joe, Joe.

My son Jason has second-degree
burns on his legs.

He's in a wheelchair
because of you.

-You fucking psychopath!
-[cop 3] Okay, Joe.

He gets to ride in a wheelchair?
Cool!

Cool, cool?

Cool? I'm going to kill you,
you little fucker!

Your fucking kid's a psychopath.
That's what he is.

You take that back!
Randy, do something.

-Huh?
-Okay, look, look, look.

Now we're all going to
forgive Detective Parlow.

Detective Parlow here
is a little emotional.

Either they don't know,
don't show,

or don't care about
what's going on in the hood.

Do not quote "Boys in the Hood"
to me right now.

Boy, you got to breathe.

You got two strikes.

[Patrick]
Look, two life-changing moments

where you taught me
that I'll never forget.

One, watching that movie.
Ricky should have
never stopped to pee.

It was right around the corner
from his house.

And, two,
nothing should be forced.

Nothing. I like Gabe.

He, he's a real nice guy
but he's a mess.

[Millie]
Patrick, maybe you're right.

Gabe is a fucking mess,
but he's my fucking mess.

And right now
he's in a lot of trouble.
And he needs me.

So, if it's okay with you
I'm going to help him
because I love him.

Do you think
you could introduce me?

Sir, no.

Autograph.

[Patrick] Oh, I...

[Randy] I'd really appreciate it
if you could make it
out to Randy

-with a Y.
-[Patrick] Oh, right.

Wait! Wait! No! No! No!
No!

Alec! Alec! Alec, No!

Do not burn that cop.

-[Joanne]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
-[cop 3] Joe, Joe, Joe!

-He, he, he burned him.
-[cop 3] Come on, Joe,

-remember your training.
-He fucked up.

[all scream]

-[Joanne] Really?
-[Millie] Are you, are you okay?

Okay, okay.

[cop 3] Okay, okay.
We got you, man.

[upbeat music playing]

[Alec] Dear Gabe, hi.

I hope you're doing okay.
I'm doing fine.

I've made a lot of new friends
at my new place.

It's a place for kids
to get better.

Sorry that I got arrested.

It was pretty cool though, huh?

I'd never been arrested before.

That day was one of the
best days of my life.

You're my best friend.
Write me back.

I'll be here for a little while longer.

They think it's good for me
since I have a fire problem,

but I don't want to set people
on fire like I used to.

-What's up, Jonny?
-Whatever, dork.

[Alec] That's the old me.

The new me is done with fire

because fire burns people
and things.

Well, hope to talk you soon.
Love you.

[Gabe] "Love you. Alec."

It seems as though Alec still
really cares about you.

Yeah, I guess so.
I mean, he writes me every week.

I kind of feel bad for him.
I think he's just a kid
trying to fit in.

How long does he have to stay
in the group home?

Two months.

He comes home pretty soon,
actually.

And your court session
the other day.

What, what,
what happened with that?

Oh. So, they dropped
all the charges
except for resisting arrest.

I mean I don't even know
how you get arrested
for resisting arrest.

That makes like, like
zero sense, but, surprisingly,

Alec's mom and dad bailed me out
of jail to say they were sorry.

And then they invited me over
for Salmon Saturday.

And how about you, Millie?

Uh, how have things been
since you moved in?

Well, Gabe's been much more open
with me.

I really appreciate him
for that.

And in turn it's made me feel
more secure with us.

And he gave me a key
when he got out of jail.
We're best friends again.

Yeah, when that cop was,
was punching me in the stomach

and the other one was twisting
my arm and almost broke it,

you know, I won't say my life
flashed before my eyes,

but I realized, in that moment,

I loved Millie more than anybody
I'd ever loved before.

And then I saw Alec
light that detective on fire

and sort of
lost my train of thought.

May I ask what happened
with Bailey and the baby?

[Gabe] Look at this.

Read that.

"Nigga, I ain't pregnant.
Just fucking with you.

Found my bracelet,
it was in my closet.

Love you. Call me."

Keep scrolling.

"Fuck you then!

I got a new man and I hope
you and your bitch die

from chicken pox."

Purple heart, knife emoji.

[Dr. Jones clears throat]

We got a restraining order.

Wow!

Yeah, but Millie and I,
we're doing good.

[Millie chuckles]

I know, time's up.

I'll see you, uh,
I'll see you next week.

Actually, Millie and I are
going on a little trip,

a little vacation
just, just us two.

So, we won't be back
for a few Wednesdays,

but, uh, give you a call?

I understand.

Oh, don't.
Honey, this is not our floor.

-Your therapist
is one more down.
-Whatever.

Come on. There's room.

No, no. It's okay.
We don't want to crowd y'all.

Oh, no, no. Don't be silly,
there's plenty of room.

-No, no. It's okay.
-Yeah, yeah. We're fine.

We'll just take the next one.

Oh, don't be silly,
just get on the elevator.

No, no. We are okay,
but if you're in danger,

I'm gonna need you
to blink twice.

Wait, blink, what, what on earth
are you talking about?

-I think she needs help.
-No, please. Please.

Hey, you know, come with us
if you want to live.

-Quick.
-Okay, okay, okay.

Look, now you're
just being rude.
Both of you.

I am not in any danger.
This is my son.

Wait. That's your son?

Yes, he's adopted.
It's a thing.

Oh, well, good for you.
Okay, you are going to heaven,

but all the same,
we don't want to ride down
the elevator with y'all.

What did we do to you, huh?

Besides try to be nice to you,
to be polite to you.

Answer her.

Okay, you know what?
There was a little white kid
named Alec

and he looks just like that one
you got right there.

And his little badass almost got
me put in jail for five years.

So, all the same, please take
your ass on down the elevator.

Wait, Alec?

Alec did this to me.
He made my leg all burnt up.

[woman 2]
That's why he's in therapy now.

He's had nightmares
since it happened.
Nightmares!

Ah that's what you get
for bullying.

Oh, and, by the way,
that's why I beat your
little friends up at the park.

Oh, and I hope
you have a terrible session

and don't terrorize your mother.
Bye.

-Really?
-What? Fuck that kid.

We haven't even left
therapy yet.

It's fine.
Let's just take the steps.

-Come on. I'll be better.
Come on.
