calls the school,

and Ankit almost gets

thrown out of the school...

So sad.

Liz, he cared so much.

[Ankit]

'Cause I was an overachiever.

[Daisy] Yeah. Yeah, it was bad.

Yeah, you got voted

for most talented,

not for most likely

to succeed, so...

Oh, yeah,

and what were you voted?

You were voted most

likely to be on "SNL."

- Oh, what happened to that?

- That was a lifestyle choice.

I didn't let the yearbook

be my guidance counselor.

[laughs]

Oh, I'm good. I'm good.

I'm totally good.

- Daisy?

- What?

There will be a time

when the bong comes around.

Oh, yeah?

- There will be a time...

- Okay.

When the bong doesn't

come around.

Then what?

Oooh!

[Liz laughs]

[Chase] All right.

Don't tell my mom, okay?

[water bubbling]

- Nice one.

- [coughing]

F***.

I made her her first piece.

It was a turquoise elephant,

and you'd smoke

out of the trunk.

Oh, God, what the sh*t

is this chair?

F*** you.

I made that pillow.

Hey, be nice.

She just quit her job,

and she needs some tenderness.

Oh, yeah, yeah,

I heard about that.

- I heard about that.

- Thank you.

[Liz] Daisy.

Let me thread the needle here.

This has been

a really shitty Thanksgiving.

Listen, you, lean back.

- Follow my breath.

- Okay.

I just lost my job

a year ago, too.

Oh, you did?

And now I'm self-employed,

and you can say whatever you

want about my profession.

Oh, my gosh, that's

what I should...

I will say whatever I want.

That's, like, totally

what I need to be doing.

That's good.

I'm self-sufficient, b*tch.

I'm self-sufficient.

- Oh, yeah, come on.

- Thank you, cheers.

And it's, like,

the highest level of aspirations

that you can have as a man.

What do you do?

Uber.

[laughter]

- Okay, so strategy games...

- Uh-huh.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna lay it

on the line for you.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Lay it all on the line.

Okay, so you have these

little dudes, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- You're either orcs or robots.

Of course.

And you have to gather

these minerals,

and you use the minerals

to build an army.

Okay.

But in my game,

you're basically...

you just gather the minerals.

Huh.

Like "Mario Kart."

- What? No.

- [laughs]

That's exactly

what "Mario Kart" is about.

What are you talking about?

I'm trying to educate you here.

Jeez.

- [gasps]

- Oh.

[women talking indistinctly

in the distance]

[laughs]

You're such a boy.

Excuse me, lady, I'm a man.

Uh-huh, Mr. Video Games.

Okay.

You don't respect what I do.

You're being sensitive.

No, I mean, admit it...

you think you're saving mankind

and I'm rotting kids' brains.

I don't have to be

into the things you're into

to like who you are.

I don't know.

I don't know about that.

- [grunts]

- What?

[laughter and chatter continue

in the distance]

Well, entertainment

is something I believe in.

It's not just something

I'm into.

It's my mission...

like your mission

to clone Stepford Wives.

[laughs] Shut up.

Okay, so...

this video game

that you're making

is for the greater glory

of mankind.

Oh, now you shut up.

I just want to know

about your mission.

- I am a man on a mission.

- Ah...

You're good with me,

you're good with my mission.

Okay, good luck.

[mutters, laughs]

Hey, there are girls

who are into that.

I had one once,

but, you know, when girls...

Mm-mm. Shh, shh, shh.

Okay.

Hmm.

What's your favorite music?

Black Crows.

I don't like 'em.

[Ele]

All right, kids, kids, come in.

You have to see this.

[Ana] Come in here right now.

[laughter]

God, our moms.

Well, she's not

driving us home.

Let's...

Yeah.

You two should stay.

We have a guest room.

Okay.

[acoustic guitar music,

Daisy humming]

Shower me with love

That's warm and open

I'll grow to be

the tallest tree

I will lift you up

If you would let me

Hold my hand

And plant the seed

The world can tell me no

But I dream

about everything

People come and go

But you play hide-and-seek

Inside my dreams

Can you find me, love?

I'm waiting here for you

Can you see me?

Will you be the one

That hears my secrets?

I'll whisper them

So keep them safe

Every branch that breaks

We're always learning

Thinking over

Each mistake

And I have been shot down

But I grow taller every day

You and I both know

That hide-and-seek

is just a game

Can you find me, love?

I'm waiting here for you

Oh oh

Can you see me?

Can you see me?

[Daisy humming]

Can you find me, love?

I'm waiting here for you

Can you see me?

Can you see me?

Can you see me?

Can you see me?

[applause and whistling]

Wow.

You've gotten better

since Burning Man.

Oh.

Thanks. It's a new one.

You have to come visit me

at Berkeley.

I could get you, like, some

practice gigs a couple places,

and you can open for me.

It'd be really fun.

Oh, God, I wish.

Let me ask you a question.

What's keeping you in LA?

Yeah, yeah, you quit your job.

You're not seeing anybody.

You haven't bought

into the housing market

or some sh*t, right?

I mean, maybe it's time

that you... I don't know...

- just move back...

- Explore.

Hung out with your homies

who have your back,

live big, dream big

like you used to.

YOLO.

Yeah.

That'd be nice.

I read that, like,

you're only as successful

as the average of your

six closest friends, right?

But...

when we come together,

we form this elevated

electric-magnetic field.

Bullshit.

[Marcus]

No, you can measure it.

How do you measure it?

They have devices.

What, do I have

an electromagnetic field, then?

You definitely have

an electric-magnetic field.

[Liz] Okay, go back

to your bean bag, please.

I'm sick of bean bags.

I know you're, uh,

preoccupied,

- but I'm gonna...

- [sighs]

I'm gonna keep

you company, okay?

I shouldn't have drank.

That happens to everybody.

Your problem is

you're too repressed.

Pachamama's got you now.

You remember that Hawaii trip

my senior year?

[chuckles]

Wow.

It's like you have a glowing

halo around your head.

You know, I've always

had feelings for you...

Shut up, Chase.

Stop.

[footsteps approaching]

- Hey.

- Hi.

You okay?

She's fine.

[Liz] You ready?

Yeah.

[Chase]

Hey, I really liked your song.

[soft music]

Grandpa?

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

We're gonna get

a real one tomorrow, remember?

Let's just go

to bed, okay, Grandpa?

I want to tell you a story.

There was once a boy who worked

on a ranch for his folks.

Down the road from the ranch,

this neighboring farmer...

he owned a strawberry field.

And that farmer...

he had a beautiful daughter.

And the boy fell in love

with her the instant he saw her.

He hadn't known her

for two weeks,

and that ranch boy...

he knew this was it.

And when the farmer said no...

He stole her away on his horse,

and they rode

over the strawberry fields,

and they started...

a whole new life together

that very night.

But then when...

When things went south...

Money.

You know, things that...

Things that get

in the way of life.
