My therapist said
I should have cake

for Susan's retirement,
but not alone.

I already had some.

Me too.
Come have more.

You're allowed to leave
your desk sometimes.

I do leave my desk sometimes.

Okay, Miss Employee
of the Friggin'...

Our new boss is like my age.

I feel like I haven't
achieved enough.

I was talking to my
therapist about this,

and my mom, of course.

I'm really gonna miss her.

-Who?
-Susan.

Oh, yeah!

You love Susan.

Hey, you! Come in!

Hey.

Susan...

I just wanted to say goodbye.

Mm.

Oh, I, um...

I know everyone
else left their cards,
you know, with the cake,

but I wanted
to give you mine.

Yeah, here.

Oh...

Wow.

Thank you, Rosy.

It's been nice
working together.

My go-to girl!

I know you'll go far.

Oh my God,
why would I have made it that?

Yeah.

No, I-I...

I understand.

Mm-hm!

I have to go.

Sorry!

Don't apologize.

Do you want a... hug?

Yeah!

Oh, thank you, darling.

Oh, you're an angel.

You tell your mother
you're an angel.

Take care.

Remember, this is your time

for you to take care of you.

Right, let's move onto
all fours for a moment.

And transition
into our restorative poses

on our backs.

Okay, we're gonna
stay in the swaddle...

It's okay.

There we go.

It's okay.
Just try to stay in it.

The swaddling, it can be
emotional for many of us.

Just try to stay in it, okay?

Oh...

Mm-hm.

Oh, actually try to stay--

try to stay in it.

Sorry. I'm sorry!

Sorry, sorry!

Can I get a coffee?

Yeah.

Okay, ready?

Here you go.

Hm.

Are you okay?

Okay, everyone!

I have big shoes to fill.

I know Susan was
much-beloved here,

and I look forward to
getting to know you all.

Oh.

Now, you guys
have a great day.

So, I see that you tried
to do the transfer online,

but since it's a large amount
it got flagged.

If you answer some
security questions,

I should be able to get
that in for you, no problem.

You sound super familiar.

Okay.

Um, so the name of the street
you grew up on?

Oh, God, why would
I have made it that?

Uh, Princess Street?

Correct.

Hey, did you
used to live there?

At the group home
on Princess?

Um...

Yeah, actually. Why?

Oh my God, is this Rosy?

-Yeah.
- No way!

Oh my God, Rosy,
you work at the bank?

Girl, it's Nola!

Hi! Yeah, I'm surprised
you recognize my voice.

Well, you were
pretty memorable.

You didn't recognize my name?

Here, hold on,
I'll send you a selfie

so you can see what
I look like right now.

Wait, is this
your real number?
Text me from your real phone.

Okay.

So, did you do independent
living after that?

Um...

Yeah, I did.
Did you?

Oh, one sec,
I'm taking a selfie for you.

So, my fosters adopted me,
technically,

but we don't talk anymore.

It's okay.
I've actually found belonging
with a new family.

That's why I need to transfer
some money to their account.

Um, okay.
Um, right!

I can help you with that.
Um...

So what's the name
of the account you're
transferring to called?

Is it a checking
or a savings account?

Uh, I think
it's a business account.

-But it's a family thing?
-Yeah.

Like a church
that's like a family.

Okay.
Yeah, if you're sure.

I like your dress.
You look great, by the way.

Now that we have
each other's numbers,

we should get coffee
sometime.

There's a place
I love on Richmond.

Yeah, maybe coffee.

I mean, I'm gonna
be pretty busy

with this family stuff,
but...

Sure.

Hey, you've reached Nola!

Call me back, or whatever!

Let me take care of you,
sweetie.

I want you
to close your eyes.

There you go.

Try to let me soothe you.

You're special to me.

I like spending time
with you.

Are you tired, baby?

That's okay!

I'll stay here
while you fall asleep.

Hey!
Offices are being rearranged
a bit with the new boss,

so now this is my desk.

We're sharing an office?

Is that not good?

No, it's fine!
It's good!

It's not you, I just...

don't like change.

I hope you girls aren't
complaining about me!

We aren't.

Okey-dokey.

Oh, relax!
He was kidding.

I think.

I have to make this right!

-Oh, Rosy.
-I'm sorry!

It's fine.
I was kidding.

I'm cool if you are.

Rosy, are you cool?

Yes.

Okay.

Listen, I'm new to this job.

Still trying to
figure things out.

You don't
have to try to please me.

It's clear
you do your job well.

Just, uh...

Hey, relax.

It's all good.

Yes, it is.

Rosy, you okay?

I've never
seen you this way.

We get benefits.

Maybe you should
see a therapist?

Or call your mom.

I talk to mine every day.

I know.

- I was supposed to see a therapist...
- but I aged out.

I'm sorry, sorry,
what are we talking about?

Never mind.

Aged out?
I've never heard that before.

Aged out of what?

Like, the system?

What system?

The foster care system.

Oh.

Ohh!

Oh!

You were a foster kid
in foster care?

Yeah.

Wait, what?

Yeah.

Shit!

So your parents are,
like, foster parents?

Um, no.

I aged out.

I turned 18.
I'm not adopted.

Oh, right.
Okay, cool.

So, who's, like,
your family now?

Yeah, I mean,
I guess, like...

- my friends
and the people here.

Well, that must be hard
because the people here suck.

And I mean,
you'd never know.

You're, like, thriving!

You know?
Like, like... phew!

Okay, I'm gonna
Google some statistics.

Oh! No, no, no,
that's okay.

-You don't have to--
-No, you're incredible.

"Foster care system,
its victims."

"Emotional consequences."

Holy shit.

There was only a 5% chance

you were gonna
finish post-secondary!

Uh, that's a win
in my books.

See,
impaired brain development,

physical, emotional--
God, PTSD?

Oh, girl, wow, you don't
have addiction issues, right?

-No.
-Social difficulty.

You don't have any of this!

Incarceration.

Reckless or violent behaviors.

I mean, that thing just now,
that doesn't count.

Uh, unemployment?

No.
Loneliness...

Wow, you're doing great
with most of this!

All this time...

I thought you were
just a basic blonde girl
who loved her job.

Thank you.

- Ah!
-You're more likely to murder someone

if you were in foster care.
Well, not you, but just
people generally.

Mostly if you're male,
though apparently since 2010

the gender
homicide gap is closing.

Ladies be killin' it!

Can you just
get adopted now?

I'm an adult, so no.

I'm sure if you Google it,
it's a thing.

Everything is a thing.

I think maybe for,
like, cults.

I found
a lot of support online

when I was getting
over my eating stuff,

and if you found parents,

you'd have something
to talk about with a therapist,

and you could go to therapy

and work on...

whatever that just was
back there.

It said on that list,

one of the symptoms

of being a grown-up
foster kid was loneliness.

What? That's not...

I'm not.

I mean...

like, I have other ways
of dealing with that.

Like dating.

You date?

So, you like
the coffee here?

Let me get that.

So, is there a reason
why you chose this place
for our date,

which is closing soon?

I live upstairs.

Do you have a condom?

I don't, no.

I didn't know we'd end up
at yours so fast.

I only met you there
to make sure

you weren't gonna kill me.

-You aren't, right?
-No!

Great!
I'll get a condom.
I have one.

Okay, wait,
hang on, hang on!

Uh...

Can I just be
with you for a sec?

Mm-hm!

Yeah?

You're really
sensitive to touch, eh?

Yeah, I guess.
Either that or I don't
feel anything.

I'm getting the condom.

I can't open them, though.
You have to do it.

Open it.

Yeah.

Can't open a condom.

Great.
Now take your shirt off.

-Mmm.
-Are you okay? Rosy?

Rosy, are you--
are you--

-Are you passed out?
-No, I'm not.

Rosy, I was inside you,
fucking you,

and you passed out, right?

I was-- are you-- hello?
Hey.

Look, I know
I didn't roofie you.

I'm not a rapist.
Am I just bad at sex?

If you're bad at sex,
you just get better at it.

Am I bad at sex?

No. No, sorry, no.

Do you have
some sort of condition?

No! God, no, I wish. No.

No, it's just I never take
these sleeping pills I have

and I took them
when I got the condom
and I guess it hit me hard.

You're not bad, really.
I was enjoying myself.

Why would you take
a sleeping pill

before having sex with me?
That's like roofieing yourself.

Yeah!

Honestly, I have
an intimacy thing, I think.

You're not a rapist
and you're not bad at sex.

I just meant unlike rapists,
at least people

who are bad
at sex can fix that.
I'm sorry.

You don't think sex offenders
can be rehabilitated?

No, I mean, I guess...

-Yeah, I do.
-Not to say that I am one.

Or was one.

Of course.

I just think some people
didn't get what they needed

and they can go out
and get it.

Everyone can be rehabilitated.

Sex offenders.

You know, you too.

Thanks.

Yeah,
I'm really sorry, again.

Obviously that
won't happen again.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Thank you.
Sorry, sorry.

Rosy?

Yes. Brian?

-Hi.
-Hi!

You found the place okay?

-Yeah.
-Great.

Uh, please sit.

Alright, here we go.

I've-- I've had those,
the crackers, yeah.

Do you want one?

-Yeah!
-Here you go.

Thanks.
That's really nice of you.

Anyway, just, I always hoped
that I would meet a...

like, a partner
with grown kids,

because I never wanted
to do any of the baby stuff,
you know?

So I was on
the site for a while
and just looking around,

and people on it, you know,
they seemed normal,

not trying to rip
me off or anything.

Um, so anyway,
I met a young guy

on the site
about a year ago.

He was great.
His name was Sean.

We did all kinds
of father-son stuff.

We went to ball games,
that kind of thing.

But he was 19.

He went abroad
to go to university.

He's in Sydney now.

We still email, sometimes.

He's, uh...

Anyway, he's great.
He was...

-That's great.
-Mm-hm!

You're the first person
that I've met like this.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

And so far, so good!

I just really
like those colors, you know?

- Yeah!
- Yeah.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks.
Oh, no, no, please,
I'm an adult.

Well, yes,
of course, but no.

I mean, come on,
that's not what this is.

If you were my,
you know, my child,

then I wouldn't
expect you to pay.

And that's what this
is supposed to be,
so fair's fair.

Right?

Can I give you a ride?

Oh, no, that's okay.
I can take the bus.

Okay.

Thank you
very much for dinner.

Yes, I'd love
to do it again sometime.

Whenever you're free, kiddo!

Is it okay that I
called you "kiddo"?

I mean, I would ordinarily
never call a grown woman,

a young woman who's grown,

an adult,
you know, "kiddo."

But given the way
we met and...

-No, it's totally fine.
-Great.

And listen,

you shouldn't feel the need
to be exclusive with me.

If you want to,
you know, reach out to other
people on the site,

I'm okay with that.

Thanks, and you, too.

Great.

Nice to meet you, Rosy.

Rosy, the woman
you were helping

with the transfer over
the phone yesterday...

Yeah?

You didn't actually
complete her money transfer.

Sorry, I, uh...

I was having an off day.

Did you want me
to complete that now for you?

Um, actually no,
hold off.

I'll get to it.

This is very nice.

It's a good choice.

Thanks.

I mean, I could not
believe that it was you.

I mean, I've been thinking
about this sweet girl

who hugged me
right when I needed it.

I wanted to know more
about you.

I just didn't know if
it was appropriate, ha!

Do you have
any kids yourself?

Real ones?

Why do you think
I was crying that day?

I didn't want to ask.

I have a daughter.

We are estranged,
unfortunately.

Um, how old are you?

Twenty five, you said?

Yeah, Alice is 29.

Married, which is why we're
estranged, if you ask me.

Hmm!

Do you talk to your dad,
darling?

Oh! Uh, no.

Um, he was never
in the picture,

then my biological mom
died when I was young, three.

-I'm so sorry.
-That's okay.

Then I had a grandma who was
next of kin but quite old,

so she went into
a retirement home

and I went into
the system when I was six.

Oh, wow.

It's fine. I wasn't really
beaten or raped or anything
like that, so, yeah!

I got that going for me.

-Well, that's great!
-Mm-hm!

Are you married?

No. Was.
Not anymore.

Nope, single now.

Hm, cool.

-And what do you do?
-I'm a high school teacher.

-Do you like that?
-Nope!

I love it.

I do.

Oh, teenagers, though, whew!

They grow up so much faster
than when I first started,

which I'm not saying is
necessarily a good thing or--

you just need to be
wherever you are at.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm going to go
to the washroom, and then
we're getting cake!

Everything good
with you both?

Oh, yeah.
Thanks, yeah.

My mom
is just in the washroom.

Helen?

Oh? Oh, um, if you're
wondering about these,

they're to manifest
employment opportunities.

I want to be farther
ahead professionally.

My mom says I just need
to be patient, though.

Cool.

Hey, I, um...

I Googled that thing
that you told me to.

You were right,
it's a thing.

I've been, like,

meeting older adults
who want, like,

relationships with younger ones.

Girl, what?!
That's amazing!

Have you met anyone yet?

Yeah.

This one woman, Jane.

Ooh, I don't know!

Should I text her?
Oh, no.

No, let's just wait
to see her tomorrow.

Oh, girl!

Show me the place where
you found these people.

Okay!

There's a man, too,

but I think
I need a mom more.

Although both a mom and a dad,
like the full set,

would be ideal.

Oh, girl,
I am so proud of you.

Jane is her name.

I just...

I just want to be, like,
really, really good to her.

Right.
And, uh...

And how are you
gonna do that?

I Googled "nice things
to do for your mom."

Thank you.

I, uh, I had an email from
my daughter this morning.

Oh, I thought
you were estranged.

Uh, we are, yeah.

Uh, but she likes to
send me mean emails

telling me she never
wants to see me.

I'm sorry.

Oh, yeah, thank you.

But that's why
it's so nice to be...

hanging out with you!

You are very sweet.

Thank you.

He was great.

foster care.

Ugh, for the last time,

no one beat or raped me.

So, I, um...

I met with another
young woman from the site
a few days ago.

She's 20, but, my God,

she seems decades
younger than you,

Rosy, not just five years,

and it made me realize

you're impressive.

You don't seem like you need

somebody to take care of you.

You're doing it yourself.

Thanks.

Sorry,
that was bugging me.

Yeah, I'm kind of
a perfectionist

about things, too.
My hair, weirdly.

How is my hair?
Is it okay?

- Looks great.
- Phew!

Good.

You have
nothing to worry about.

Neither do you.

So, are you seeing anybody?

No.

So, um...

I, uh... hmm.

Okay, this is, uh--

no, Rosy, look,

I really do want
to support and mentor

a young person
who needs my help.

But like I said before,
you, um...

you don't seem
to need it, so--

Oh, no, no,
you've only met me an hour.

I'm actually really unstable.

-Oh!
-Mm-hm.

Okay.

Um...

What I was gonna say

is that you seem
more like my peer

and that we have
a lot to talk about,

and I was gonna
ask you out.

Oh.

Yeah, sure!

-Really?
-Yeah.

Well, alright.

Cheers.

-So...
-So...

So, ordinarily
right now, um...

I'd give you a little,

you know, peck on the lips.

Just a terrible word, "peck."

Just-- and then
you could make it more

if you wanted
to make it more.

I mean, if this were,
you know, like a...

a "date" date,

which, you know, I kind of--
that's where it ended up,

I feel, you know?

But given how this night
started when we went
through that door,

I mean--

Uh...

Okay, then!

-Uh, see ya.
-See you.

Nola!

Sorry, I thought that
you were somebody else.

Hi, beautiful girl, it's me.

I hope you had a great
evening last night,

whatever you got up to,

and I hope you have
a great day today.

I'll talk to you soon,
darling.

Message will be saved
for 14 days.

Like, how far
did you get, you know?

Um, like, bases?

Like, yeah, like,
how far on the bases?

Um...

-One?
-Okay. Okay!

I don't know,
it was long and hard.

With, like, your dad.

Um...

But I thought you
liked the Tinder Dan guy.

I do, but...

I don't know!

I never texted him again,

and then last night
I just sort of...

went for it.

You, um,
you went for it, or...

you went with it?

I don't know!

That's a good question.

Um, hey, so by the way,

- I gotta tell you something.
- Um...

I got offered
a position at corporate,

and it pays almost
twice what I make now.

It's the professional step up
I've been hoping for, so...

Yeah, I, um...

I'm gonna start
there next Monday.

Helen, that's great!

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Oh? Yeah, yes!

I'm so proud of you.

Oh, I'm proud of you.

-Hi, there.
-Hi!

Hi.

-Uh, I have--
-Oh, yes, you do!

I'll take that, thanks!

Come in.

Oh, thanks.

Darling,
you're meant to sit!

Oh.

So...

Yeah?

Um, I don't know!

Oh, um...

I, uh, made you something.

What?

Oh, wow!

Thank you.

Oh, well, that is lovely.

I will-- I will
find a place for that.

It's a really kind thing
you did for me.

Is there anything
I can do for you?

It's...

What?

This is weird.

No, never mind.

No, what?

No.

What?

Do you maybe
want to, like,

brush my hair?

Yeah.

Sure.

Who'd you have dinner with?

Your hair looks nice.

Thanks.
Um, just a friend, Jane.

Cool.
How do you know Jane?

Actually, the same way
that I know you.

What?

I thought after we met
you decided you didn't
need to do that.

I mean, you're kind of
past that, no?

Past what?

Past needing
a mommy and a daddy.

You're 25 years old.

Have you met with other
people from the site recently?

No, actually,
though I would.

Why?

Well, because--
look, you're my peer.

You're my equal.

But guys, I think
they grow up slower.

I think from now on
I'm only gonna meet with guys,

and only under 25,
because otherwise it's weird.

So I'm weird?

I'm past it,
I missed my chance?

Hang on,
what are we talking about?

You're 25 years old.

You've missed
absolutely no chances.

Take it from me.

Am I missing something here?

You think that it's bad

that I met with
a woman from the site.

No!

No, not bad.

I just didn't think
you needed that.

That's all.
I mean...

when I think of you, I think
that you're all grown up.

That's all.

And I mean that
in the best way, obviously.

I mean, I find you
incredibly fascinating.

I find you just so sexy.
I can't even--

You don't really
know me, though.

But I'm enjoying
getting to know you.

Have you dated other girls
that you met on Adult Adoption?

No. Of course not!

What the fu--
Are you mad at me
for something?

-No, no!
-Did I do something?

-No, I just--
-Yes, you are!

You're angry with me
for some reason.

I'm not!
I just have to go,
I'm sorry.

Wait, wait.
Rosy, I'm sorry.

You have nothing
to be sorry for.

-Why?
-It's not you, I just...

I've been doing all the things,
I've been keeping myself busy,

I've been saying yes...

but I feel like I can't
hang onto anything.

Well, God, Rosy...

hang onto me!

Is this okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
I gotta go.

I'm sorry.

Have a nice night.

Hi!

Hi.

Hi, you've reached Jane.

I'm unavailable at the moment,
but if you leave a message,

I'll call you back.
Be well.

Oh, hi, Jane.

It's me.

I was just hoping
to catch you.

Thanks for last night.
That was great.

But I had a weird day,
like, a new office mate.

Yeah, I wanted to tell you
about it and, you know,

hear your voice.

I, uh...

love you...

and I'll talk to you soon.

Bye.

Someone came in here
looking for you the other day,

a girl like you.

Said she'd gone by your work,
too, looking for you,

but was nervous that she
would run into some man there.

Nola.

I don't know her name.

I don't even know
your name, but...

I knew she meant you,
though.

How?

-Because I know you.
-What, no!

Yeah, you make yourself known.

I see you going on
your sugar packets

and I pick up all your bits
of paper, but I say nothing!

If I'm not careful,
the sugar spills everywhere.

Were you in a car accident?

No! Why does everyone
ask me that?

You need to go back to yoga.

You have not come in
with your mat lately.

It's good for your
fine motor skills.

They're fine, actually,
since I started knitting.

And your general sense
of calm.

Do you always think something
bad is going to happen?

Like her.
You think she is bad?

You are clearly dealing with
something and so is your friend.

-I hope she is okay.
-Wait, what?

-Give me the money!
-Oh, my God!

Open the fucking register!

Okay, okay.
Just calm down.
Okay, okay.

It's okay.
Give her what you have.

Thanks for the help.
Sorry he's jumping
down your throat.

It's not cool.

That's not--
I'm not helping her,

I'm just trained in...

-Go lock the door.
-Are you okay?

It wasn't that much money,
I don't think.

You're late.

Sorry.

There's someone
here to see you.

Um, please sit down.

Nola, as I believe
she's known to you,

called here
in service to her family.

Yes.

Where is Nola?

Okay, I'll complete that
transfer for you, no problem.

Are you gonna
do the transfer?

No.

Okay.

I'm gonna go have
a little chat with Mark.

The number you have reached

is not in service.

Please hang up
and try your call again.

This is a recording.

Siri, play voicemail.

Siri, voicemail.

Hi, beautiful girl,
it's me.

I hope you had a great
evening last night,

whatever you got up to.

Rosy, hi.
What are you doing here?

-They said it was an emergency.
-It is, it is.

My friend, Nola, the girl
who I think is in a cult,

fuck, I don't know
what to do, and...

Okay, also, Jane isn't
answering my calls.

Rosy--
Um, sorry. Jane?

Jane not answering your calls,
that's not an emergency.

But maybe the other
thing is, though.

Why don't you check on Nola?

We'd have her address
on file at work.

Your work, I mean.

How long has
it been with Jane?

A couple days.
I know.

-Rosy!
-I know, I know!

It's just I don't
know what to do.

You're just a champ, Helen.

The best.
You can help me.

Yeah, okay.
Well, you don't
like change, I know,

and we don't work
together anymore,

but we can still
hang out sometime.

What? No.

It's not that.
It's that...

I'm not even a real person.

You are a real person.

-I'm pretty sure.
-I'm not!

I'm sorry, but what
does that even mean?

I'm not real!

I'm not anyone's kid.
I can't fucking do this.

I'm just so fucking empty.

Rosy, everyone's emp--

Everyone is empty.

No one, no one feels like
a whole person, I don't think.

And you, you have a really
solid reason to feel that way,

but that just means you need
to get less bogged down in it.

You're the one who told me
to go online and do this.

You're the one
who made this a thing.

I didn't make it a thing.

It was a thing before
I pointed to it and I said,

"Oh, look, there's a thing."

I...
I was trying to help.

I thought by pointing it out,
it might let you deal with it,

and-- and--
and I was trying to--

I-I'm sorry,
everyone's trying!

But I'm sorry that
you were never the center
of anyone's world,

and I'm sorry, you cannot
be the center of mine now!

Just st-st-st-st-st-stop!

Screw you.

I really care
about you, Rosy.

Rosy?

Yeah?

I have to get back to my day.

So why don't you text
that guy or something?

Because I have to get back.

I really care about you, Rosy.

Hi, you've reached Jane.

I'm unavailable at the moment,
but if you leave a message

I'll call you back.
Be well.

♪ Every time you look at me ♪

♪ Everything feels alright ♪

- Hi.
- Hey.

-I like your hair.
-Whoa!

Mm, I've had a crazy day.

Okay.

I want you to fuck me,

and I want you to
beat the shit out of me.

Will you do that?

-Are you into that?
-Like, consensually?

Yeah, obviously
consensually,

I just asked you!
What are you, stupid?

Are you okay?

Is this because you
were in foster care?

No!

-Did someone there hit you?
-No!

I'm sorry,
I don't wanna do it.

This is fucking sexism!

I'm sorry.

You admit it.

I don't think
it's what you really want.

And besides, I have to
consent to it too, okay?

Wanna take a bath?

You could fuck me
in there, hard?

No, like,
you just take a bath.

I can sit beside you or, like,
next to you if you want.

You can dip your toe
in there if you want.

-Whoa, whoa.
-Mm!

You can look at my tits
if you want.

-Okay, sweet.
-Yeah?

Yeah.

You gonna get in the tub?

Hi, you've reached Jane.

I'm unavailable at the moment,
but if you leave a message

I'll call you back.
Be well.

Hi, Jane.
It's me again.

Give me a call back maybe,
if you want.

Okay, bye!

Hi, you've
reached Mark Bonner

with Dominion Check Bank.
Please leave a message.

Hi, there.

I need to take
my first sick day.

Maybe tomorrow, too.

I'm not sure how to do it
and I think this is how.

Okay, thank you.

Bye.

Hey.

I am so sorry.

Yeah.

-Yeah.
-Um...

I was thinking...

I know it's not
the same thing, but...

I grew up without a dad,

and I had to teach
myself how to shave.

And?

What?

-Did you?
-Yeah.

Look at my face.
It's shaved.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, how did you do that?

-YouTube.
-Right.

I think now
is not a great time for me
to have a boyfriend.

Yeah, I'm gonna have
to agree with you on that.

Yeah.

I'm gonna leave.

Yeah, totally.

You have to go to
work anyways, don't you?

I'm actually
taking today off.

Oh, okay.

There's something
I have to do.

-You.
-Hello.

I'm looking for Nola.

Hmph!

Where's the money?

Yes, I work at the bank.

I just need to get some
information from Nola.

So, is Nola here?

You can tell her
that she has a guest.

Rosy?

Hey.

Would you like
to come inside?

Sure.

Nola?

It's okay.

I'm very happy here.

Can you get me
my money back?

Nola, I didn't do
the transfer.

We can get you out of here.
I can call the police.

No, no, I mean,

it's not like they're
making me stay here.

Aren't they?

No, I can leave.

We're not kids anymore, Rosy.

We can do what we want.

That guy seemed
right up in there.

Who is he?

He's, um...

Okay, fine, I have no idea
what I'm doing with my life,

but it's fine.

I think I don't want
to have a baby, but...

They want you
to have a baby?

Yeah, but, I mean,
it's not that weird.

He's just a person.

Yeah.
Yeah, he's just a per--

We've gotta get you
out of here!

You'll figure it out.
You still have your money.

You know what?
True.

Don't have
that dude's baby.

True.

I-I just...

I refuse to hurt his feelings,
though, okay?

He's just a person.

Just a person.

Yeah.

Okay.
Let's leave discreetly.

I know a way.

Okay.

We gotta go!

We gotta go.

I need
some fucking cigarettes!

Okay, yeah, that was--
that was pretty weird.

You know, you really
fucking saved me, Rosy.

You did it.
You didn't need me.

You just had to...

Yeah.

You look amazing,
by the way.

Thanks!

Yeah, it's a little
more me, huh?

Where you gonna go now?

Hmm.

I don't know.

Definitely not a family.

I have friends.
Um...

It's better to have
friends, anyway.

Can I-- can I stay
with you tonight?

Yeah!

God, you know, you're really
a fucking fairy godmother.

Hey, how'd you
meet him, by the way?

Some fucking website.
I don't-- I don't really
want to talk about him.

It was fun being bad
with you, though, huh?

Wait, hold on, aren't you
supposed to be, like, at work?

Yeah, and I'm, uh...

I'm kind of on holiday.

Cool. Well, wanna do
something tonight?

I was supposed to be
someone who'll win,

not to be... ugh!

Victimized.

You made me feel
like a winner.

Ah, so many people
make you feel like a winner

while victimizing you.

You ever notice that?

Rosy, you know,
they just fucking use you.

Fuck you like this.

You know?

But I'm still
fucking me, baby!

Pfft!

We should get an Uber.

Because I'm not a hostage.

I can call
a fucking Uber myself!

Can I use your phone?

- Nola?
- Huh?

I think I've, like...

taken a hostage.

My friend, Helen.

If she found out about
the deal with...

me... us.

You know, you're allowed
to fuck up with family.

Maybe-- maybe this friend
is that for you.

Hey, Rosy.

You're--
you're doing great!

You know?
Hey, you didn't get
taken by a crazy guy!

Yeah, but I'm the crazy
guy, Nola.

Helen's not my family,
anyway.

I can't make her that.

I'm sorry.

I do kind of have
a mom now, though.

Really?

I don't know.
Yeah, I think so.

That's awesome.

That's-- that's cool.

Is that, um, Jane?

Yeah, why?

Um, she called you twice.

What?!

Oh, see, can you just--
that's our Uber.

Come on and...

Are you coming?

Honey, come in!
It's unlocked.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Fucking life, eh?

Are you drunk?

Oh-- mmm.

Darling...

-Am I getting fatter?
-No!

You're a liar.

You're lying to me.

Where were you all week?

Here!
What are you talking about?

You didn't call me.

Oh, yes, you called.

I forgot.
I'm sorry.

And I emailed.

Mmm...

This gift.
The blanket.

I appreciate it.

Um, I just can't
find anywhere for it,

and I'm gonna be downsizing,

moving somewhere
smaller, so...

you can take it back.

Um, sure.

You will find it
a better home I'm sure.

Are you breaking up
with me or something?

What? No!

I do not operate that way.

But you have called
a lot this week.

I thought you said
you didn't get my calls.

-I didn't say that.
-So you were ignoring me?

-What?
-Why are you drunk?

Ah-ha, asking about me!

I do ask
about you usually.

What are you talking about?

-Do you hate me?
-Mm!

What?

I'm getting more.

The calls were too much?

Can you just answer
the question?!

It's not about the calls!

-You think I'm pathetic?
-Oh, my God.

You do!

I think you are...

self-pitying.

I know!

But you're meant
to take care of me.

-Says who?
-The Internet!

The thing you signed up for
on the Internet!

Moms aren't meant
to get day-drunk!

Oh, hmph!

You really don't
want the blanket?

I just don't have
anywhere to put it!

It's just gonna end up
in a box!

Did you make it for me?

Or for you to give to me?

Those two things
are the same thing!

I did not know what
I was getting myself into.

What the fuck?!

What?

My daughter sucks.

She's pregnant!

And I had to find out
from somebody else,

and I pretended
that I already knew!

Okay.

What?

That's horrible
and I'm sorry, but...

What?

You said you didn't know
what you were getting into
with me.

-I didn't!
-So fucking say that to me!

Don't tell me
what I can and cannot
say to you!

Why not?
It's not like you're my mom!

You fucking ignore my calls,
you say it's too much.

It is too much!

Well, I guess
that's my answer, then.

I was too much for all
my foster families, too.

I'm too much,
I'm fucked,

and that's why no one
has ever wanted me!

It's too much

because I have my own life!

Yeah. I get it.

It really is awful
about your kid and...

Yeah, I have to go.

Why?

You don't care.

You were meant to--

You were supposed to--

You made me need you
and... argh!

You've given me nothing!

I gave you a lot!

Yeah, but you've given me
something and not everything,

so actually it's worse
than giving me nothing.

I am a person, Rosy.

Hey.

I care.

And I can be here
in a way.

But I am
just a fucking person.

Yeah, I know.

I'm a person, too.

Yeah, you are.

I am.

Yup.

I know you are.

Hey.

I just wanted to check in
and see how you were doing.

Thanks. I'm fine.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

I send money home to
my parents in Moldova.

They are old,
there is no economy there,

so this month now I have
less money to send them.

But what can you do?

Yeah, what can you do?

We can say hi

when you come and drink
my coffee every morning.

Okay.

Rosy, by the way.

David.

What is that?

Oh, it's a knit blanket.

It's yours?

-Yeah.
-Hmm!

You want coffee?

-Yes, please.
-Mm-hm.

-Noroc!
-Thank you!

Oh!
Look at you!

Two in a row!

Hello?

Hey, Helen, it's Rosy.

Uh, listen,

I'm really sorry
about the other day.

Showing up at your work
like that.

I know that you worked
hard for that job, and...

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Hey, that's okay, Rosy.

Um, listen, I'm actually
on the other line with my mom.

-Can I call you back?
-Yeah, totally.

Listen to that
affirmation meditation

if you haven't yet.
Okay?

I gotta go, though.
Okay, bye.

Okay, thanks.

-Sure.
