You know what that means?

- No.

- That means when you spit in the sky,

it winds up in your face,

so what I'm telling you

is you don't ask me my business.

Are you kidding me?

I never give my secrets away.

Never, but when you get

a little older, kid,

I'll tell you some stuff,

but don't tell Lou.

Don't tell anybody, all right?

Now give that a shake.

Shake it up. Give it a shake.

There you go.

All right, you wanna

drizzle it on there.

Just drizzle it,

stick your pinky out like that.

The drizzle

becomes drazzle like that.

And that's where the love is.

Go ahead, put it on.

- There you go.

- What is taking so long, for crying out loud?

Ginny's about the pass out

over here from malnutrition.

- Hi, Aunt Tiff.

- Hey, munchkin. Keep an eye on these two.

They'll put too many onions

on the salad.

- It's two small onions.

- Two small onions, get out of here.

It's too many!

It gives me angina.

- You know this, come on!

- Honest to God, Marron.

You break my balls.

They're like grapefruits, Tiff.

Hurry it up,

you know you don't want us

ordering takeout, do you,

for crying out loud.

She had a box of wine

at the house.

She'll be drunk by the salad.

So, girls, how was your dinner?

It was delicious.

Alexis?

Fine.

Okay, hot plate coming through.

[GINNY]

Oh, what is this?

Fresh cannolis,

mascarpone cheesecake

- hot out of the oven.

- [WHISTLES APPRECIATIVELY]

You guys didn't make these.

You're singing like

a bird over here.

- What I tell you about secrets?

- I'm just kidding.

- Thank you for dinner.

- Our pleasure, our pleasure.

Uh, where you going?

Going to meet

with Sarah's friends.

Okay, fine.

Be home by 10:
30, all right?

10:
30, are you kidding me?

I got to stay out

later than that in New York.

That was New York.

Sarah gets to stay out

until 11:
30.

This is bullshit, Grace is gonna

be awake when I get home.

Alexis have a little respect

for your father.

I would.

But he's not here.

He's dead.

Still dying to have

one of those?

[LOU]

No. Who wants cannolis?

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

I'm super psyched you're here,

though.

We're gonna have

so much fun together.

I'm not staying long, right?

Why not?

I'm moving in with my boyfriend.

Wait, really?

He has his own place?

I mean, basically, like,

it's his parents' place,

but they are never there,

they're always traveling.

What does he look like?

Do you have a picture?

Is he cute?

Is he tall?

OMG, he's so cute.

[SIGHS] I'd give anything

to be like you

and get out of

this lame-ass town.

Hey, you guys want another beer?

I have one.

I'm gonna go pee, okay?

You want one?

Sure.

I'm Christian.

Alexis.

You want a drag?

No, I don't

I don't smoke.

I don't really drink either.

What's with the beer then?

Well, it's easier to pretend

you do then say you don't.

F***, I'm sorry.

I know it's, like, super early,

but I have to go.

Oh, come on, I have to go to.

I could walk you.

Yeah? Okay, cool.

- [FIGHT JAZZ

PLANO MUSIC PLAYING]

I can't thank you enough

for the house,

for just everything.

I'm so glad I've got you here.

So glad.

[CHUCKLES]

How's the transition going?

[SIGHS] It's strange.

It is strange, you know?

I'm not I'm still not used

to the no sirens

and no garbage trucks

at night, you know?

I would think

that would be a blessing.

You would think.

You would think.

But, uh, you know,

the silence just forces me

to be in my own head.

And I don't want to be there.

I want to be present.

My head is a bad neighborhood.

It's a ghetto.

It'll change.

Oh, yeah?

I hope so.

Grace seems to be adjusting

very nicely.

She's gonna love Robert.

- I hope so.

- Oh, yeah, she will.

He's an amazing teacher.

And, uh Alexis

How's she behaving,

generally speaking?

Generally speaking,

she's a big fat f***ing a**hole.

Like,

just the worst a**hole ever.

Generally speaking.

Well give it some time.

[GRUNTS] Now why do

you guys say that?

Why do old people say

give it time?

F*** off!

Old people say!

I'm just saying you have

the least amount of time.

It's just odd.

Just an observation.

Someday you'll fall

Like I did for you

[JAMES] Time to get up!

Alexis! Wake up.

Come on. Let's go.

Get up.

- What you want?

- Come on, you gotta get up.

- Get up.

- It's only 8:
00!

- What are you doing here?

- I'm aware it's only 8:00.

But you're gonna be late

for work, let's go.

I don't have a job.

What are you talking about?

You do now.

Now come on, let's go.

Over my dead body I have a job.

Over my dead body I'm paying

for your sh*t anymore.

Speaking of which,

if you don't move your ass

that computer and your phone are

gonna be a thing of the past,

- you understand me?

- [WHINING]

- What is

- Get out!

Jesus, it smells like

a barn here.

Reeks of cigarettes.

Meatball Parmesan

Mm.

Meatball Parmesan

Hey, there she is,

right on time.

She's all yours.

Go in the back.

Grab an apron.

Go.

- You could smile.

- [SIGHS]

Here comes this guy.

Hey, Zigzag.

You're two minutes late.

It happens again,

I take it outta your pay.

Yes, sir, my apologies

[STAMMERS MOCKINGLY]

Yeah, yeah.

Go stutter your way

back to the kitchen.

You eating a meatball sub

at 9:
15 in the morning?

Tiff, go ruin somebody's hair.

You wish you had hair

I could ruin,

you bald motherf***er, come on.

- Holy sh*t.

- Oh.

- Hi.

- Hey.

What are you

what are you doing here?

You know, just being forced

to work against my will.

Yeah, me too.

Well, no not forced.

More like persuaded if I ever

want to go away for college.

Anyway, I'm really glad

you're working here.

Okay.

[GASPS] There's my girl!

Hey, Lexi, bear.

Hi, Aunt Tiff.

So you know what?

I'm gonna do you a favor.

I'm gonna poach you

from this guy.

You come work for me

at the salon, you know?

Yeah, I think this is actually

gonna be fine, though.

- Oh.

- Hey, C, why don't you take Alexis in the back,

bring her up to speed

on walking the beat, huh?

- Yes, sir.

- It's not NYPD Blue, you meathead.

Wait, you're not gonna

introduce me to your friend?

Christian, James.

- Pleasure to meet you, sir.

- How you doing, Christ ooh, sir, I like this guy.

- Okay, that's enough.

- Who is this guy?

- Why are you blushing?

- Okay, bye.

Why is she blushing?

Okay, fine.

I'll be back

to pick you up later, okay?

[ALEXIS] Whatever.

Oh, boy. Good luck.

[WOMAN]

Yes, okay, yeah, no.

I'll call you later this week.

Okay, bye.

Do you make a habit of hovering

over women you don't know,

or is it my lucky day?

Oh, no, I

I wasn't lingering.

I'm just

I'm trying to find the

[STAMMERS] Spit it out.

I'm new on campus.

I'm trying to f

- Are you a student?

- No, God, no.

Whoa, is this school not good

enough for the likes of you?

What? No, I I just, um

You seem very nervous.

Are you all right?

Because I tend to have

that effect on people.

I'm fine, I'm just I'm looking

for the administration building.

Ah, I can see my

my sense of humor
