that I'm not gonna fit in at first,

4

I always fit in, just very subtly.

Hmm.

00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:23,356
I bet you didn't think that Chelsea Clinton
was gonna fit here, but she totally did.

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,858
She has always been one of my heroes
because she's such a strong woman

8
00:00:25,943 --> 00:00:28,236

9
00:00:28,445 --> 00:00:30,446
Chelsea Clinton doesn't work here anymore.

10

I just... I don't see you here.

12

Well, maybe you just don't see me here
because I'm not here yet.

to be focused on the future.

Also, in terms of being a team player,

32
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:39,015
it's problematic
that you lack a certain sensitivity.

Seriously, the system is broken.

an excerpt from his story,

172

a couple of you have registered
complaints about something.

173
00:09:19,142 --> 00:09:23,145
Apparently, one of you
left a letter to the class in the cubbies.

174
00:09:24,356 --> 00:09:25,481
JEFFREY: I haven't checked mine.

175
00:09:25,649 --> 00:09:29,026
I was away camping with my fraternity
and I haven't been back yet.

176
00:09:29,736 --> 00:09:31,028
- Who wrote the letter?
- It doesn't matter.

177
00:09:31,112 --> 00:09:32,154
It was Hannah.

178
00:09:33,365 --> 00:09:35,115
It was me. I'm the one who wrote the letter.

179
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,660
I signed the letter.
I'm not ashamed of the letter.

What did the letter say?

181
00:09:41,998 --> 00:09:46,335
The letter is a sincere and heartfelt apology
for my behavior last week at the poet party.

182
00:09:46,962 --> 00:09:50,089
I think I became a little exorcised

183
00:09:50,173 --> 00:09:53,175
in trying to share my beliefs
and I would like to start anew.

184
00:09:53,343 --> 00:09:54,969
So this is me starting anew.

185
00:09:55,470 --> 00:09:58,055

187
00:10:01,142 --> 00:10:02,726
Why were you offended, Logan?

188

in an environment that feels like a minefield

00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:15,614
"where anything I do or say
can be misconstrued."

192
00:10:15,699 --> 00:10:17,366
- It's sort of a run-on sentence.
- Sort of?

193
00:10:17,742 --> 00:10:19,994
Jeffrey, why don't we not
workshop my apology?

194
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:24,456
I think that takes us down a dangerous road,
workshopping each other's emotions.

195
00:10:24,666 --> 00:10:27,501
But, Hannah, it's not really an apology.

196
00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:29,211
It's actually super defensive.

197
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:34,133
"And now I find
that I cannot think or write clearly

198

It doesn't even make sense.

202

Well, now I can't defend myself
from what you just said

203
00:10:46,104 --> 00:10:47,938
because you already called me defensive.

204
00:10:48,106 --> 00:10:51,233
So if I'm to defend myself,
I'll seem even more defensive.

205
00:10:51,401 --> 00:10:53,652
So you're saying
that it's our fault you can't write?

00:16:50,426 --> 00:16:52,386
No matter what happens to anyone else.

335
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:55,138
What do you mean,
"No matter what happens to anyone else"?

336
00:16:55,223 --> 00:16:57,683
I don't know.
I'm just... I'm upset because you're upset.

337
00:16:57,767 --> 00:16:59,184
Yeah, but now you seem
way more upset than me

338
00:16:59,268 --> 00:17:01,561
when I'm the one who should
actually be really upset.

339
00:17:02,397 --> 00:17:03,897
All I'm saying is just that sometimes

340
00:17:03,981 --> 00:17:07,275
the stupidest fucking decision in the world
is the right decision for you.

341
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,612
I don't know,
I've made a lot of stupid decisions, so...

342
00:17:10,697 --> 00:17:12,406
Well, no one else has to live in your mind.

343
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:14,825
Only you.

344
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,327
Okay?

345
00:17:18,913 --> 00:17:20,288
It's tiring.

346
00:17:23,292 --> 00:17:25,877
Wait, why are we going to Forest Hills?

347
00:17:25,962 --> 00:17:29,297
I get my boxers and my T-shirts
at a specific department store

348
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:30,882
and that's where it's located.

349
00:17:30,967 --> 00:17:33,385
That's literally the saddest thing
I've ever heard in my life.

350
00:17:33,469 --> 00:17:36,555
It's a ritual, Shosh, okay? It calibrates me.

351
00:17:36,639 --> 00:17:38,140
It's very uplifting. You should try it.

352
00:17:38,224 --> 00:17:39,641
No. No.

353
00:17:40,101 --> 00:17:42,978
No, I'm putting my foot down.
We are not going to Forest Hills.

354
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:48,567
This is a beautifully constructed T-shirt.

355
00:17:49,318 --> 00:17:50,652
Are you fucking kidding me?

356
00:17:50,945 --> 00:17:54,114
- Yeah, the stitchwork is really wonderful.
- $70 for a fucking T-shirt?

357
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:55,949
Do you know how much my T-shirts cost?

358
00:17:56,033 --> 00:17:58,368
- I don't want to know how much...
- I get a four-pack for $12.

359
00:17:58,453 --> 00:18:00,912
- Okay, how long do they last?
- It's not supposed to last very long.

360
00:18:00,997 --> 00:18:02,330
It's supposed to breathe and wear down.

361
00:18:02,498 --> 00:18:04,249
If you're being honest with yourself
from your inside,

362
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:05,625
does it feel different than your other T-shirts?

363
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:09,921
I just want a six-pack of cotton boxers.
That's all I want.

364
00:18:10,006 --> 00:18:12,299
Ray, you have been wearing
the wrong T-shirts for years,

365
00:18:12,383 --> 00:18:16,219
and a T-shirt,
a T-shirt says who you are to the world.

366
00:18:16,637 --> 00:18:18,096
Your entire life,
you have been telling the world

367
00:18:18,181 --> 00:18:19,639
that you are a loser who doesn't care.

368
00:18:19,724 --> 00:18:21,892
And that's not true anymore.
I watched that happen.

369
00:18:22,810 --> 00:18:24,019
You made that happen.

370
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:30,442
Um...

(DRESSING ROOM DOOR CLOSES)

372
00:18:32,737 --> 00:18:33,945
So, Ray...

373
00:18:36,741 --> 00:18:39,659
I've been following you around all day
waiting to tell you something.

374
00:18:39,869 --> 00:18:41,787
I thought you were following me around
'cause you're unemployed

375
00:18:41,913 --> 00:18:42,913
and you're restless.

376
00:18:43,289 --> 00:18:44,372
Uh, well, yes.

377
00:18:44,707 --> 00:18:47,459
Uh, but I've also been wanting
to tell you something for a while,

378
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:50,462
and, um, I keep trying to tell you
in all these different ways

379
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:54,716
and it just keeps coming out wrong instead,
like, in stupid ways.

(DOOR OPENS)

381
00:18:57,762 --> 00:18:59,387
Okay, try me.

382
00:19:01,390 --> 00:19:02,849
I'm the reason that our relationship ended.

383
00:19:03,768 --> 00:19:06,812
I wasn't ready,
and I was unkind and very rude,

384
00:19:07,230 --> 00:19:10,232
and generally acted in a way that I, um,

385
00:19:10,525 --> 00:19:12,567
don't want to be remembered after I die.

386
00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:15,737
And, um, you were a good boyfriend,

387
00:19:15,947 --> 00:19:17,739
and, um, I did love you.

388
00:19:17,865 --> 00:19:19,241
I was in love with you.

389
00:19:20,243 --> 00:19:21,910
And people always talk about
how love is like, you know,

390
00:19:21,994 --> 00:19:23,662
the strongest emotion, but I was scared,

391
00:19:23,746 --> 00:19:26,998
and sometimes that's even stronger
for some people.

392
00:19:27,083 --> 00:19:28,166
Like, people like me.

393
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:31,962
Look, I know I'm not easy, okay?
You don't have to say all this.

394
00:19:32,129 --> 00:19:33,880
Well, no, I mean, you're not easy.

395
00:19:33,965 --> 00:19:36,508
No, you're, like, actually
kind of awful sometimes

- Thanks.
- I don't know.

But I hope that someday
I can show you how much I did love you.

- No, I mean, like, that ship has sailed.

Ew. So, you don't think that
I'm too simplistic?

428
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:21,112
No, I think you're
the perfect amount of simplistic.

And you don't think that I'm too blunt, right?

430
00:21:22,615 --> 00:21:23,823
You would tell me
if you thought I was too blunt?

431
00:21:23,908 --> 00:21:26,993
Or is asking someone
if you're too blunt being too blunt?

where all this anger comes from.

00:24:48,863 --> 00:24:51,364
But, so, then maybe
you dumped her preemptively

502
00:24:51,448 --> 00:24:54,367
because you knew
that she was eventually gonna dump you.

Hi.

Hi. Who are you?

I'm Mimi-Rose.

Can I help you with something?

Okay.

Wait, are you Hannah?

- Hey.
- Hi.

522
00:26:39,139 --> 00:26:41,015
That was a stiff hug. I feel, um...

523
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:45,520
Disoriented. Is, um...

524
00:26:47,231 --> 00:26:53,361
My couch is gone. My television as well.
Is this your roommate?
