Olympia: What's your name, baby?
Sabi.
7ven: You're a part-time nanny
And a four times a week bartender?
Are you in the right place in your life?
Bessy and I were feeling like
They might not need a nanny anymore.
Move to berlin with me.
What?
We leave Monday.
Do your parents know that you're trans?
Sabi: My mom, like she's kind of trying.
Raffo: You don't want to dirty your...
Uh, outfit?
Paul: Bessy got into an accident on her bike.
Is she okay?
She's non-responsive.
Aqsa: You can't not go to berlin.
Sabi: It just feels wrong to not be here for her,
For them.
Paul: You need to stop telling yourself
How badly this family needs you.
Deenzie: You will never regret the sacrifices you make
To help people.
Raffo: You wear makeup and care for children.
If you're not a girl,
What are you?
Sabi: I am not going out for them.
Aqsa: He's gonna go straight to dad
Who's gonna freak out and take a giant shit all over mom!
Sabi: And in one way it's bad
And in another way it's bad.
7ven: Bessy opened her eyes, sabi!
Oh my god, what happened now?
Sabi: You're like really super important to my life.
Like really, really vital to my just standing here.
So if you die, I will murder you.
Paul: Ah, maybe we can connect on Monday?
I will see you on Monday.
Not asleep.
Hiiiiii.
You staring at me
Thinking I'm asleep
Is creepy, though.
Honestly, I don't care.
I'm just so happy that you're alive.
Not that I thought you were gonna die.
I'm kidding.
I totally thought you were gonna die.
How are we today?
My legs feel like they're not mine.
I-I was talking to a nurse earlier
And she kept saying you're "top percentile",
Which I think means you're winning.
Yay!
Um...I got you a present.
[gasps] aw, yay.
You are the best.
Here.
Ohhhh, blondy.
And how are we today?
Oh, you know, good.
I cheated death, don't make me dig.
Well, you know, I'm, um...
Just worried about my mom.
My dad's coming home from dubai and I just,
Whatever, I just felt like
She was doing so much better without him.
[sighs] marriage is stupid.
Anyway, I'm fine.
You're alive. Everyone's alive.
You know, when I woke up for a second,
I saw paul and I was like,
Who dat?
But when it dawned on me I was like,
I married a dude?
A white dude?
Oh nooooo [laughs].
Would you do it?
Marry a white dude?
No. Marriage.
I mean, how am I supposed to know?
I haven't even like experienced normal love.
What is normal love?
You know, easy, uncomplicated,
Probably what rachel mcadams has.
Rachel mcadams?
Yeah. Rachel mcadams for sure has a simple
And pure love in her life.
And to be clear, not like "normie" love.
She's obviously cooler than that.
What's going on with what's-her-face?
Oleander?
Olympia.
Um, she used to like,
Gimme way more attention,
But I get it, she's like busy
And like,
I embarrassingly jump at the chance to like,
Hang out with her whenever she's free,
Which I know is bad but, like,
Whatever,
I dunno.
It's what I want with everybody,
Not just my romantic relationships,
With like family and friends,
With all the loves I have.
Just I want that uncomplicated rachel mcadams love.
That's doable, right?

I got so effed last night.
Why are you walking us to school?
I was up so I called my only friend who gets up before noon.
Haven't slept at all.
A good after party comedown can be sublime.
I mean it's super empowering
That you're like living life out loud,
But also unhealthy,
Which is the opposite of empowering.
Aren't you worried about cognitive decline?
Are you ninety?
Sabi: Hey, you know, that's a pretty weird phone call to get.
If someone makes you feel weird like that
You should just hang up.
Good to know.
Just, click, rrrrrrrrr...
What's that sound?
Oh my god it's a dial tone.
What's a dial tone?
This is far enough.
Sabi: What?
But the school is still like a block away.
Game thingy.
Bye!
Bye.
They're embarrassed to have a nanny.
I wanna respect your need to make a living
But those kids are basically adults.
Look at henry.
He's shang-chi now.
Sabi: Why do we all have to go to the airport?
It's like standard brown code.
You have to be there.
I mean, are you sure he's coming?
He could be holding out for a cheaper flight again.
Maybe he'll never come.
Sabi, you cannot bail on me.
Sabi: If I do go and he calls me sick or something,..?
Or psychotic...? I'm walking.
That means you're coming?
Sabi: What does mom think of me maybe not going?
Raffo: I support whatever decision sabi makes.
Seriously?!
Raffo: What's wrong with that?
You would never support whatever decision I make
About anything.
Don't tell me what I would and wouldn't do.
I think if mom is good with me not going
Then you should be too.
Aqsa: Okay, fine.
Also fyi, your rent cheque bounced.
Sabi: Ah, deenzie hasn't paid me yet.
Can't talk right now but will.
Byeeeee!
Oh, what is happening?
My dad is-
Sorry, I'm having blood sugar issues.
I need carbs.
[happy rhythmic music] [7ven loudly munching]
So my dad is-
I've been dming with this instagram model.
Their name is arrow.
I'm head-over-blundstones for them.
Met them on a new dating app called nonbi.
Have you heard of it?
How aggressive do you need me to be right now
To get to talk about myself?
Omg, sabi.
Your dilemma is so pointless it makes me wanna weep.
Listen to me hard:
There are no pros or cons to going to the airport
To receive daddy.
Go if you want.
Don't go if you don't.
Thank god it's that simple
And I have like no feelings to process.
[sighs] I'm sorry.
Process. Go.
Ohmygosh, process.
The first time in my life, I feel, like, solid.
Like I'm actually making choices as who I am.
That's so good.
But the whole reason my dad's coming home
Is 'cause he is freaked about me
And that's gonna like mess with my new vibes.
[chuckles] you're letting your dad decide how you be?
And you're wasting precious alive-time
Worrying about shit that hasn't even happened.
Tell me, do you know what the future is?

Hmm, it's deenzie.
Hmm.
Hey, what's up?
[quirky downcast music]
Hey, yum.
I don't understand.
The-the bar is closing?
What's there not to understand?
I didn't pay rent,
We didn't get our liquor licence renewed,
The doors close or I go to jail.
How are you, 7ven?
Fine?
Hmm.
Deenzie, why didn't you pay rent?
Deenzie: Well I was trying to get blood from a stone again
Then I realized, wait.
I have a little money saved,
I don't have to keep doing this.
Oh, good. You're here, sabi.
Who's that?
Oh my god, is that wolf?
Are you wolf?
Dad doesn't know the password to this laptop.
Deenzie: I do know the password,
I just don't want you digging around in the account.
Who's wolf?
Sabi: Deenzie's offspring.
I didn't know you had offspring!
A goodie!
I didn't ask him to come.
Wolf: He told me the doors were closing a couple days ago
And I came as soon as I could.
Okay, um, wait.
How long have you known about this?
A while.
Not that long.
You know what, I'm gonna go.
Because I'm starting to have uncomfortable feelings.
Nice meeting you.
Weather is so unpredictable.
Ah, true.
Where is the wall?
Which wall?
Oh, we are doing renovation.
Mumtaz: Hmm.
Imran bhai knows?
He doesn't know, does he?
[raffo clears throat]
Sabi: So much debt over so many years.
It's hard to keep a bar like this alive.
So many lines of credit.
[sighs] I-I can't let this place close.
Wolf: Well, without some sort of super immediate cash infusion,
We got no choice.
7ven: Hey, I can call this guy I know
That runs a fund that invests in art ventures.
Sounds smart.
I don't understand.
Sabi: There's like a lot of freaky queers and misfits
And like alternative-y gender queers
Who have nowhere else to go without this place.
Aw, that's unfortunate.
7ven?
Yes, bryce?
Bryce: You look good.
Did you call me 'cause your friends need money?
7ven?
Maybe.
Bryce: I don't do that.
I don't bail failing businesses out.
Call me when you have a thing to pitch.
