[♪ "Burning Bridges" by Sigrid playing]

[speaker]
I have had to let go of someone to grow.

The first thing that comes
to mind is my best friend.

I have let go of many people in my life

to go through to the next phase.

I have zero regrets about it.

The most important person on Earth is me.

I, like, stormed out at one point.
I was really proud of myself

because, like, when I stormed out,
I didn't trip or anything like that.

I was really worried
I was gonna fuck up the exit,

but it was-- it was a 10.
It was a 10.

♪ Oh, sometimes you just can't fix it ♪

[Melissa Jackson] You see what I'm saying?
I'm out of my comfort zone because

the thing is old Mel doesn't take risks

'cause old Mel was
comfortable being small.

But, not anymore.

like a handful of sunflower seeds.

I am a snack.

That's right.

- Well...

- Just like the world has spit me out.
- No, no, no.

- Okay. [grunts] Be honest. [sniffles]
- Always.

Do these shoulder pads
make me look like a linebacker?

Mel, you look--

You look--

- You look like--
- Judge Judy!

Come on, man. Judge Judy wear a robe, bro.
Sit down, man.

Where you going looking
like the CEO of the Tarmac?

I was gonna take this High Flyers class,
but...

it's stupid! I mean, what was I thinking?

I am not management material!

Mel, uh-uh, we're not doing that today.
Look at me. You are a boss-ass bitch.

- I need you to say it, come on.
- Boss-ass bitch, so...

A little bit about me. Carlos Chavez,

AKA Carlos Frutas.

I wanted to work at JFK because...

because they were offering a job,
and I needed one.

- You know? [laughs] Um...
- Oh, yeah.

A manager that's had
a big impact on my life

was Vinny, my manager
over at Pizzeria Queens.

- He taught me how to meditate.
- Sure.

Enough about me.
Tell me about Ms. Jackson.

Oh, she is not interesting.

And I don't hate dogs.

I just hate other people's dogs
when they're assholes.

Jesus, a blazer?

Who died and gave you a talk show?

Actually, I, um,
need to tell you something.

Okay. I'm...

I'm scared. [laughs]

Uh...

Look, I know I said that I wouldn't, um...

but I started the management class today.

What? I--

I never ask you for anything. J--

- Just this one thing, and y-you--
- I know.

You know how complicated
my relationship is with my dad.

Fuck, especially now.

I know, but this was
a good opportunity for me,

and I had to put myself first for once.

Yeah, for once.
Lately, everything is about you.

What?

I'm in a real relationship
for the first time ever. [weak laugh]

I met Ben's parents last week.

I've never met
a boyfriend's parents before.

Boyfriend?

Yeah!

Rory, you've only been
seeing him for a month.

So what if we're moving fast?

Who cares? The point is

you don't give a shit.

You're changing.

Good.

I don't wanna be that person anymore.

I-I wanna be better!

Ever since the accident, I--

Oh, my fucking God! Mel...

Not the accident again.
Okay, it sucks that this happened to you,

but it's been over a month, okay?

You're fine. You need to move on.

I fucking died, Rory.

For three full minutes. Dead.

So, don't tell me to move on.

If you had been a better friend,

i-if you had have been there,

instead of ditching me on my birthday,
maybe none of this would've happened!

I'm sorry, Mel, but y-you can't punish me

for not knowing that
you died for three minutes

wh-when you hid it from me.
I'm not-- I don't read minds!

You made ditching me a fucking sport!

When we were supposed to go to Hamilton,

you called and canceled
at the last minute.

Hamilton?

Or when I begged you to
come to my cousin's baptism,

you had a stupid waxing appointment,

and that was more important
to you than me!

Mel, I can't be there for you
every second of your life.

- Okay?
- It's not every second!

I-It's being there when it matters!

It's the fact that when
I asked you to co-sign

for my fucking stupid hospital bill,

you said no!

- I needed you!
- You always need me!

[♪ "Friends That Break Your Heart"
by James Blake playing]

[soft crying]

Do you know how hard it is
being your only friend?

Do you?

Pretending like I don't
have a social life,

just to make you feel better about yours?

Being the only thing that stands
between you and your...

loneliness! Fuck, Mel!

I am not your boyfriend!
