We finally get to do what we wanna do.
We're free from our kids.
Think about opening up to new things.
I don't-‐ I don't think my parents
were this upset when I went away for college.
I just think they kinda just went on with their lives.
- Yeah. - I just don't think they cared.
That's because they were... They were not as close with us
- as we are with our kids. - Yeah, right.
God, I... It's so weird. I went... I...
I went to the grocery store and I... I still bought...
cereal. Like, those... that... those huge boxes
of junk cereal.
I brought 'em home and then I was like, "Oh, right,
I don't need to buy this anymore."
Claire used to practice the cello every night
for an hour. And now it's just...
dead silence.
Just pure, dead silence. It's awful.
Eve? Are you dating anyone?
Um... No.
It's okay. She just has higher standards than the rest of us.
No, no, no. I just asked because there's this great guy
who I think you should meet. My husband's boss...
- Peter's divorced? - Oh, yeah. Six months ago.
But, I mean, this was a long time coming.
Okay, thank you, but I'm... I th...
Really? He's... Why not?
I will give it... Let me just...
I'll think about it.
Don't wait too long, or someone's gonna snap him up.
- I agree. I agree with her. - Thank you. That's it.
- Roy? - Mrs. Fletcher.
- Hi. - You look so lovely today.
Thank you, Roy. That's very sweet.
Uh... Uh... Are you going to water aerobics?
Yes. It's my favorite class.
Well, why don't I take you there?
- Thank you. - Sure.
Do you like oatmeal?
It's okay.
My son makes it every day for breakfast.
I can't even look at it.
Well, why don't you ask him to make you something else?
Oh, no, I don't eat that crap.
I have bacon and eggs.
Oh, good for you, Roy.
Come on, divas, you own this. All of this is yours! And back...
Mr. Rafferty!
Hey! Hey, what's up? Come on, get in.
All right, dip it low,
- and right, and left... - You know, Amanda.
- Okay, easy. - Woo! Right...
and left, to the side, and right...
And left, keep going. Right...
and left. Ooh! Grab it low. You're doing it! Yes, Roy, yes!
Work it, divas!
All right, let me see you shake it out. Shake it out!
And front... Ooh! And back! And front! Back!
Come on now, oh!
And now give the butt a lift. And down, and right!
Brendan, come on in.
So...
Why are you here?
Because you sent me an email.
You told me to come to your office.
Not here in the room.
I mean, why did you choose BSU?
Um...
Uh... Sorry. What were you saying?
Why are you attending this college?
- 'Cause I got in. - You sure did.
- Yeah. - Brendan...
What I'm trying to ask you is what do you want to get
out of your undergraduate experience?
Uh... A job.
Fine.
A job. What kind of job?
Like, a good one.
Like, something that pays, like, you know, like,
six figures or something.
Any particular area for this six-figure job?
Uh... Well, you're my advisor.
So, aren't you supposed to be... advising me?
That's actually what's happening right now.
Um...
Sorry, it's, uh, it's... It's my mom.
Yeah, of course, it is.
I'm sorry. Look...
I have a job to do here.
So, let's find out a little more about you, say.
How about extracurriculars?
Well, I'm hoping to go Greek.
But I have to wait til next year
'cause they don't allow freshman to rush.
Well, I wouldn't know anything about that.
Where I did my undergrad work, um, we didn't have frats.
Vassar.
- That must have sucked. - It didn't suck.
- Hm. - Brendan, do you realize
that in college every single minute of your existence is...
entirely up to you.
You have vast swaths of time
that you have to fill under your own steam.
Mommy isn't gonna be around to tell you what to do.
Okay.
So...
- Mm... We done? - Do you wanna be done?
Yeah, I wanna be done.
- Yes, we're done. - Great.
Good luck to you, Brendan.
Yes, thank you.
- Door closed, please. - Mm.
Good luck to you too, dipshit.
Uh-oh. Did we get a dud?
Uh... Yeah.
- Kind of sucks. - We haven't officially met yet.
I'm Sanjay.
I live across the hall from you.
- Brendan. - Nice.
Well, into the fray!
See you on the hall.
Uh... Cool office.
- Is that a map of the world? - All four corners.
Uh... All four awesome corners.
Come on in.
I am a junior cartographer.
- You must be Sanjay. - Yeah, yeah.
Hello. Wanna try an organic Popsicle?
- Uh... Okay. - Yes.
Maybe not that one.
Sure. Thank you.
Thank you. Yeah.
You like that?
Yeah.
Say you like it.
Did you like it?
Uh... It's okay.
Thank you.
Eve?
This is so weird.
I haven't seen you in forever, and now twice in one week.
Uh...
Yeah, this is so... This is so weird. Emily, hi.
Just don't buy any cereal though, right?
Right. Right.
You know that guy that... that you mentioned.
- Pe... Uh... Peter? - Mm-hm.
I could... You could totally give him my number.
Or I... You... I could... You know, you could give me his.
- Or whatever. - Oh, my G... Yes.
Oh, I'm so excited. You guys are gonna love each other.
Looking at who we really are or what we really want
can be terrifying.
It should be.
But that terror is what tells us that we've stumbled onto
something real. Something worth writing about.
So, I'm gonna go around the room,
and let's talk about what scares us.
Whatever comes to mind.
Curtis...
Uh... Off the top of my head I'd say...
black holes.
They freak me out.
The idea of being sucked into nothingness.
Well, now, that scares me too.
- Julian. - Um...
I'm scared of my anti-depressants
not working anymore.
I'm on anti-depressants. I guess I'm telling everybody that.
Thank you, Julian.
Barry?
Don't love a nuclear Iran.
Okay.
Eve... what scares you?
You know that f... feeling where you... are convinced
that you left the oven on, even though you know you haven't?
Um... Been having that feeling a lot
since my son went to college.
And I know it's not about the oven.
Then what is it about?
I don't know.
That's what scares me.
Hello.
Uh... Hi.
Uh... Yes. Is this Eve?
Mm-hm.
Uh... This is Peter. Uh... I got your number from Emily.
Oh, hi.
Uh... I hope you don't mind that I called.
Um... I'm not big on texting, and...
No, no, I'm gla... No. No, me neither.
No, I'm just... I'm so glad you called.
- Hi. - Well it's...
- nice to hear your voice. - Yes!
Hi.
Um...
Well, uh, so Emily tells me that you're, um,
in real estate.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I've been at Olive Branch Realty
for the last 12 years, if you've ever heard of it.
I... I think I have. Wait, Olive...
- Olive... - Olive Branch...
- Uh... Olive Branch? - Yeah.
Oh, yeah. That's the place, uh... That's downtown, right?
- Exactly. - Oh, yeah.
- Got a good reputation. - It does.
So, you have a son in college?
I do. He just started.
Uh... He's the best. We're really, really close.
Aw, nice. I have a daughter, she just finished up in May.
Oh, where'd she go?
Brown.
Where's your boy?
Uh... Broder State. He's a... a pre-med.
Wow, I'm jealous.
I love my daughter, but I'm pretty sure I just spent
half my life savings on her poetry degree.
Oh...
So, what do you think? You, uh...
wanna meet up and do this in person?
Yeah, I'd... Yeah. I'd love to.
Great.
Fantastic.

Look at the hula hoop girl.
Yo, what is Latinx?
Uh... It's "Latin-X."
It's, um... the way the Latin community
wants you to spell it now. It's like a...
way of being more inclusive, I guess.
- No, thank you. - Okay.
Um... I think I'm gonna go check out the Robotics Club.
Hm? Okay, yeah, well, I'll catch you for dinner.
- Yeah. Yeah. - All right.
- See you later, man. - Nice.
- Hey. - No.
- No, I was gonna ask you... - Uh-uh.
About your club.
Hi, guys. Are you interested in joining Vegan Club?
Wow, she hated you.
Nah, she's... busy.
I don't know. It seemed a lot like deep hate.
Oh.
I'm Chloe.
Brendan.
This your thing here?
Yeah, I stand here and ask people
if they have any family members with autism.
But a lot of people don't, so...
Mm.
I actually do.
- Who? - My father's son.
- So, your brother? - Uh... No, he's...
I guess. He's like... He's... uh... my half-brother.
Okay, well, that counts.
You should come to our support group.
We meet every Thursday.
Yeah. I'll, uh...
think about it.
And don't worry. You can stop by without knowing yet
if you think I'm hot enough to fuck.
Oh, no. I wasn't... I wasn't... I wasn't doing that.
- That's crazy. - Hi. Hi there.
- Do you have a family member with autism? - Yeah, I do.
Here's a pamphlet. What's your name?
Mike. So... What's this club all about?
Any hot weekend plans?
Uh... No.
- Nothing really. - Yeah.
Actually, I, um...
I... I am going on a... a date.
Tonight.
It's my first in a really long time.
That's cool, right?
Do you wanna see his pic?
D... Do you want me to see it?
- I don't know. - I wanna see it.
- Okay. Okay. - Yes, I wanna see it. Yes.
- Th... That's a normal thing. - Okay, here. Just...
Okay. He looks good!
- Really? - Yeah, he looks nice.
What do you mean, he's nice?
- I don't know... I... - I think he looks solid.
You know, like a...
You know what he looks like? He looks like that thing
that's on the top of, like, wedding cakes.
A cake topper?
Yeah, he looks like a cake topper.
- He does? - That's not bad.
- Well... - That's like ideal.
Right? Just like...
He... He looks good. And, you know what?
No one's ever had a bad experience
- with a cake topper. - Well...
I mean, some people might have.
I... I don't know how. And, you know what?
He could be the one, right?
I don't know.
Thank you.
Yeah, well, I didn't consent
to being bored out of my fucking skull.
I don't feel safe.
Stop.
Okay. I'd love to have two volunteers help me out.
Oh shit.
Thank you. Come on up.
Anyone else?
Fuck, that's harassment.
You over there.
The one forcing his friends hand up.
Come up here.
We're gonna do a little role-play about consent.
Okay?
You are Max.
You are Sam.
We're both guys?
That's up to you.
All that matters is that Max and Sam
have been hooking up this semester.
But on this particular night Max doesn't feel like it.
The question is, does Sam have the right to expect sex?
No.
- No. - No, dude.
No.
Hey, girl.
- What you doing? - I'm studying.
You look fucking hot.
- I wanna hook up. - I told you, I have to study.
Come on.
Hey. No means no. Don't pressure me.
I know you want it.
Okay. You don't have to do that for this.
Hm? Oh.
I'm not renewing my consent.
You need to leave.
Fine. Enjoy your stupid book.
Bitch.
Okay, that's enough.
...socially prominent young couple
plan to take a trip around the world.
- The paper's sending you? - No, I've quit the paper.
We're gonna have a last fling before we settle down
and become good old American parents.
But, Roger, you just didn't give up your job
on the paper for no reason at all?
Oh, darling, this trip's an inspiration.
Do you remember the honeymoon I promised you?
Well, we're gonna have it.
But things are different now.
- We've got to think about the baby. - Well, that's just it.
As soon as the baby comes we won't be able to go anywhere.
Besides, I want our baby born in the USA.
Maybe we can get to work and start that little paper.
Oh, but a trip like this costs a fortune.
- Did you get more than the 20,000? - Oh, shit.
Well, no. As a matter of fact, we didn't get the 20,000.
We sold the property for cash
and got 13,500.
Well, can you take a trip and buy a paper...
- ...and all that on 13,500? - Roy...
Don't forget there's still lawyers' fees,
deductions, stuff like that.
Just how much did you get, Roger?
I'm trying to tell you...
- Roy... - After the deductions, we got 10,000.
10,000?
George. This is Eve Fletcher.
Um...
I feel terrible, uh, leaving this on a voicemail,
but your father...
had another incident today,
and we are gonna need you to come pick him up.
I hope you know how much we all love your father here.
Um... But at this point
he... he needs more help than we can provide.
I'm so sorry.
