and you're making me nervous, Nadine.

Your upper arms

are breathtaking.

- Where are you going?

- Well, it's last minute,

but Brent called me,

the-the dentist one,

and he asked if I wanted to go

to Manzanita for the weekend,

and I thought, you know what?

I deserve to be a little

selfish once in a while, so...

Is that one of the, um, match.

Com guys? Yeah.

You should go for

as long as you want.

Very funny.

I'm gonna be back on Sunday.

Okay.

Just in time to surprise you.

I tried to call Darian, but he

must be in his AP study group.

Uh, I can...

I'll tell him.

Be good.

- Mm-hmm.

What?

Dibs.

Huh?

- Dibs, dibs, dibs.

- What are you even saying?

Mom's f***ing a dentist in Manzanita for

two days, so I called dibs on the house.

Ew.

Bye.

You are so sick for

saying it like that.

Mom's b*obs are jangling around a

dentist's face. See it, Darian.

See mom's titties all up

in that dentist's face.

He'll love that you have all

of your teeth in your mouth.

- Ooh, that should work.

- Yeah!

No way.

Where are you going?

Darian!

Yeah! Come on!

Darian!

You need to get all these

people out of the pool.

Excuse me. All of you

need to leave! Bye-bye!

Hey, no one's listening to you.

You said you weren't gonna drink until

after soccer. You failed, failure!

Dude, I'm not drinking. It's orange

juice, genius. How drunk is she?

I've had one drink, okay? Now you

get your friends out of the pool.

Uh, no.

Okay, then I'm

gonna call the cops.

Okay. Yep, you're cut off.

We're going upstairs.

Excuse me. I'm calling the cops.

Hey, you're retarded.

No, let's... beep, beep. Beep. Beep.

Beep. Beep, beep, beep.

I'm still dialing.

Hello. Operator?

Yeah, um, can you

please help me?

My brother is hurting me

in my no no hole.

Oh!

Why am I so grotesque?

- Shh. -How do you even like me?

What's wrong with you?

Stop.

I don't even like me.

I heard my voice on a voice mail

yesterday, and it was like,

"how can anyone stand

listening to you?"

Oh, you're just drunk

right now, okay?

I hate the way I look when

I talk or when I chew gum.

Don't ever

let me chew gum, okay?

Don't let me chew gum.

And then, I had

the worst thought.

I got to spend the rest

of my life with myself.

Shh.

Let's go to your room. Don't you want to

wake up in your bed tomorrow morning?

Hmm?

Don't you want to do that?

You don't want to sleep here.

Come on, Nadine.

Hey, is there any more

aspirin anywhere?

Maybe. Try... try that

thing over there.

- Hey, no, you don't have to. -Oh, it's...

it's cool. It'll just go faster, so...

All right.

So, what happened?

Uh, somebody let Baxter in

and he pissed.

Do me another quick favor? Can

you grab me those paper towels?

Cool. And just clean up

all this dog urine.

Yeah, right.

Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

What the f***?

Hey, just get out... get out of my room!

Stop looking, man! Just get out!

I don't know.

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

I swear I don't even

know what happened.

I don't even know

how it happened.

It was... I don't know. I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm just...

Just thinking.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Nadine, you can't just leave

without saying anything. Nadine.

You're my best friend and I love you.

It wasn't your fault.

You disgust me.

That's nice.

Go grow yourself a wispy

mustache, you pervert,

and stay away

from my friends, okay?

Did you just say

"friends" plural?

Your head is

too big for your body.

It makes you look ridiculous.

You'll never be able to fix it.

Mr. Bruner.

I didn't have a chance to do the

homework last night because...

Well, I don't know if you know

this, but my dad passed away.

It's just been really hard

to do anything.

Date of passing?

Sorry?

When, uh...

When did he die?

Um, 2011.

Ooh.

Mm. Yeah, I have a one-year expiration

date on freebies for the dead and dying.

Are you serious? There will

be other opportunities.

Your grandparents can't

stick around forever.

Have a seat.

Okay, class,

the young Mr. Lincoln.

Uh-huh.

Enjoy.

How was your weekend?

Mm.

It was... below average.

Yeah.

Okay.

How was your weekend?

Oh, I, uh... I golfed.

Well, like mini.

Like mini... mini golf.

Like...

I don't why I did that.

I'll pick that up.

Um, but yeah.

- Tim's fun park?

- Yeah.

I love that place.

We should go sometime.

Yeah, we should. But with

like... like a group of people.

Like... like with

like several... people.

That's right... no, it's...

Or just... just us.

Like just-just-just us?

Uh, yeah. You know.

Oh, yeah. Or a group.

Yeah.

Yeah, a group.

I think that'd be... i think that'd

be great. It'd be so much more fun.

Yeah.

Hey, I'm-I'm gonna catch up with you guys.

All right, man.

See you later.

Hey.

Hi.

Look, I-i just...

I want to say that, um,

you're my sister's friend, and what

happened the other night, you know...

Yes. Thank you.

It was so weird.

Yeah, it was just...

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It was all me.

It was...

Uh, ooh...

It's, uh...

Anyways...

Yeah.

Cool. I'll see you...

At the house or...

Around. Around.

Cool.

Hey, um...

I had a really good time

with you.

Me too.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's cool.

Continue.

Okay, that was...

That was weird.

That was, uh... that was

a weird thing to do.

Um...

Ahh.

What do you want me

to do, Nadine?

I want you to think about

how shitty this is for me.

I know.

What if I did this to you?

What if...

What if...

What if I liked your dad?

What if I gave

your dad a hand job?

Oh, Louis, wow, you look so hot

with that belt-phone of yours.

Wow. Oh, Krista, you're home early.

Okay.

Why... mmm. Why? Why?

Why do you even like him?

I don't know.

Yes, you do. Yes, you do.

Is it a girl thing. You hooked up with

him so now you're emotionally attached?

- No. -Are you unconsciously

mad at me, maybe,

and this like

some kind of revenge?

Nadine... are you unconsciously

mad at yourself

and this is some

kind of self-punishment.

'Cause if that's what it is...

will you... will you stop talking?

Because you're

driving me insane.

Please.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

He invited me

to a party on Friday,

and I want you to come with us.

Like, you're gonna go with him and

I'm gonna tag along. Yes. Will you?

I'm gonna have to see

if I'm around.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you for coming. What? No, no.

I'm having a great time.

Oh, hey. Look, maybe you guys

can f*** on the lawn later.

Please rise above

yourself, Nadine.

Please suck

several d*cks, Darian.

Here's a Miller.

Oh, hey, I want you

to meet some people.

What's up? This is Krista. Hi.

Hi. I'm Shannon. You were in my

chem class last year, right?

Yes, yes. Um, nice

to officially meet you.

Oh, my god. I love your outfit.

It's so cute.

Thank you very much.

I love your laces.

Thank you.

Hey, do you wanna play,

uh, beer pong?

Yes, I would love

to play beer pong.

I really don't know

a lot of people here, but...
