but I kinda like it.

Oh, come on.

These are not our people.

I know, but I've met

some cool ones.

- [gliss]

- Ruh-roh.

What poor girl's life

are you ruining now?

Oh, wouldn't you like to know.

- I would like to know.

- [laughing]

Yeah.

Ugh.

Come here, give me the...

Okay, so here.

This is great.

I just had an idea.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna play,

but you're gonna play,

and I'm gonna drink,

and we're gonna see

what we can do. Ready?

- Yeah, okay.

- Here we go. Are you ready?

- Yeah.

- And...

[laughing]

One more time. I'm sorry.

Wait, just wait.

Let me take a sip.

Okay, now I'm gonna sound

like I got whiskey voice.

- Are you ready?

- Mm-hmm.

Oh, baby, you're hungry

Running all over the town

I came all the way

from this hot hellhole town

Oh

Oh, yeah

I got them

old whiskey blues

[laughs]

Well, my mama don't know,

but, honey

What she don't know

ain't gonna hurt her

- [Becks laughing]

- This hurts my fingers.

Oh, you p*ssy.

F***ing p*ssy, man.

[sighs]

This bed is so hard.

Where did you get it?

It's the guest bedroom.

We didn't exactly splurge.

If I bought a Serta

and swapped it in,

you think Mitch would notice?

He didn't even notice

when I cut my hair last year.

I would notice.

This isn't about him.

I'm just a boring housewife

who's bored

with her boring life.

Such a clich.

I'm sorry.

Am I boring you now?

No. God.

I was taking it easy

'cause you're a newbie,

but I got a pocketful

of all kinds of weird sh*t.

- Shut up.

- Nope, it's too late.

It's too late.

Gotta step up my game.

Do you...

you...

have...

an old-timey washboard?

[giggling]

A fun house mirror?

[giggling]

And an oversized slingshot?

It's gonna be good.

It's gonna be good.

[kissing]

[moaning]

[guitar]

DAVE:
Come over here.

[laughs]

In a minute

I'm gonna tell you

- You're my beard, man.

- I'm your beard?

The way I feel tonight

[laughing]

But I'm asking

from the bottom

Just where the shadow ends

- Breakfast, homies.

- Honey, that's so thoughtful.

I wanna hold you, babe

Still, I'm never

gonna understand

PETE:
Morning.

You see that baby?

Baby James Franco.

Eww. Maybe that was

James Franco.

Maybe living like a baby is

one of his new art projects.

[laughs]

He is so good.

- Or not.

- It's impossible to tell.

- Sh*t.

- What?

Ehh, just a friend

canceled a thing.

Mm, that is not a friend

"sh*t."

Mm-hmm, you're right.

It's never gonna

work out anyway.

Uh-oh, you fall for

a straight girl again?

She's married.

To Mitch Cunningham.

Mitch...

Mitch the B*tch?

That f***ing a**hole?

Oh, man,

if Mom ever found out...

Good thing she still considers

suicide a mortal sin.

God, she's so hot.

She's all sweet and innocent

in a sexy-as-f*** way.

I take back

what I said about leaving.

You have to stay.

This is too good.

I want constant updates

on the drama.

Can you take something serious

for once in your life?

Can you?

I mean, she's married.

That's a lot of people

to f*** with, Becks.

Well, she's unhappy.

I don't think it's gonna last.

Well, you know,

who am I to judge?

If it feels like

the right thing to do,

follow your heart

and all that sh*t.

BECKS:
You could

always name a song.

You could put

some wicked harmony on...

All that sh*t

Ah, gotta go.

What, the sh*t friend

uncanceled?

Hey, are you gonna

be home later?

I don't know. Why?

Wait, why?

Oh, no, you're not

bringing her home.

- Hey, bye.

- Eww.

Leave a sock on the door.

BECKS:
How did I not know

I was gay?

[laughing]

I feel like I'm having sex

with a high schooler.

[laughing]

Well, I did have sex in here

when I was a high school.

- Really?

- Oh, yeah.

Granted, there was

a lot more dick involved.

[laughs]

What was Dave like

in bed anyway?

It was fast and gross.

And it wasn't even him,

you know?

I just... I don't know...

I just never felt comfortable.

It just didn't feel right.

Not like with you.

[sighs]

Hey.

What happened?

I don't know what I'm doing.

[sighs]

What?

Hey.

Tell me, what's up?

[sighs]

You're gonna leave,

and I'm going to be

right back to where I was.

- What if didn't leave?

- Oh, please.

You've had one foot out the door

since you got here.

I don't know.

[sighs]

I'm sorry.

If I stayed,

would you want to be with me?

Hey.

Wanna try something?

- Yeah?

- Mm-hmm.

From your secret pocket

of lesbian tricks?

[laughing]

It'll be fun.

[gasps]

Oh!

Mom!

Jesus Christ.

[Elyse crying]

Have mercy

Have mercy

Shadows on the windowsill

If I have to break

your heart

Then I will

No, I'm good, I'm good.

Release me

Oh, God.

Release me

I can have another drink.

Hi, this is Elyse.

I'm not here right now,

but if you leave me a message,

I'll call you back

as soon as I can.

Thank you.

[beep]

Hey, Elyse, it's me.

Can we talk about this?

All right, call me back. Bye.

Are you gonna bail

without saying goodbye?

You know I can't handle

Mom drama.

You saw her?

I heard her crying

in her room all night.

F***.

I told you, she's not ready

for that kind of stuff.

All the new clothes in the world

are not gonna change the fact

that she's still Mom.

I wasn't trying

to do that, Pete.

I love you, Becks,

I really do, and I love Mom,

but I'm telling you, she's

better off here without us.

How the f*** would you know?

You left right

after the funeral.

Are you gonna bring that up

every time I see you?

All you ever do is run away.

Some families are just

better off apart.

Where did you read that,

Shitty Sons Weekly?

God. Bye.

[ding dong]

Oh, hey, Becks.

Hey, uh...

I'm sorry.

Elyse isn't here.

Did you have a lesson today?

You know what?

She's at the mall with her mom,

- but I can give her a call.

- No, uh...

That's okay.

I got my schedule mixed up.

I think I forgot

my guitar anyway.

You okay?

Yeah, just busy, I guess.

Mm. Nothing a beer can't fix.

- Come on in.

- No, I gotta go.

Come on, I've been wanting

to talk to you anyway,

so this is perfect,

come on.

You follow the Cards?

A little.

No, not really.

Well, they're killing it

this season.

Best team in baseball.

So yeah, I just wanted

to take a chance

to thank you for giving

Elyse these lessons.

She's like

a different person now.

No problem.

I don't know

how much she told you,

but we've been trying to have

a kid like for a while now.

I don't want to get into

all the medical stuff,

but it's been hard.

I didn't know.

Oh, yeah.

She's been down a lot lately.

She feels like,

I don't know, a failure?

[scoffs]

Now she sings around the house

all the time.

She practices guitar

when I go to bed.

So I guess these lessons

have been a nice,

I don't know,

distraction, I guess.

Glad I could help.

Oh, do me a favor.

Don't tell her that I talked

to you about any of this.

I don't want her to think

I was talking about her,

you know, behind her back.

Yeah.

Hey, whatever it is

you're doing, keep it up.

Hi, Mom.

[Ann sniffles]

Your brother left...

without saying goodbye.
