So you'd be cool

with at least that?

Me moving to your hood?

More than cool with it.

And I don't own the

neighborhood, so.

Yeah, I can live

wherever I want.

I don't need your

f***ing permission.

(laughs)

I am serious about this.

I know.

I wanna just

get my sh*t together

and like be.

I'm gonna read all your

smarty pants books,

at least half way, and

I'm gonna follow you to yoga

or meditation or whatever,

and I'm gonna start

buying organic and sh*t.

I'm gonna be your

happy hippy shadow.

(giggles)

Oh, hippies

don't cast shadows.

They're like vampires?

Vampires cast shadows, Cass,

they don't have reflections.

Oh, but would a vampire shadow

be seen in a mirror?

And what about vampire hippies?

What do they eat?

Beets?

That makes no sense, Margaret.

Yes it does.

(cheers)

Soon we're going to be able

to be ridiculous in person.

It's going to be great.

It's okay, let me take this.

I'm just gonna put

it down over here.

It's okay.

Sorry.

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

(crying)

It's still hot.

Do you, do you want

me to call anybody?

I did.

I mean anybody else?

Like who?

Like the police?

Whoever.

There's no one to call.

Except for my brother,

but that's why I

can't call the police.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

She gives him money.

He's a f***-up, but he needs it.

She would cut him off

just to get to me,

and I can't do that to him,

and I can't f*** with

her just to get to him,

I have to help him instead.

That's really not

your responsibility.

And it's not yours, either.

I'm sorry.

No, you're right, I get it.

It's complicated.

I'm sorry that I had

nowhere else to go to.

It's fine.

Why is it fine?

Why are you being so nice to me?

What, do you just feel so sorry

for the poor little black girl?

The tea smells good.

It is good.

It's probably cool enough

to drink right now.

F***, f***, f***, f***,

no it's not, it's not.

It's not cool enough.

I'll just leave it there.

Yeah.

We'll wait.

Yeah.

This what I got

to look forward to?

Huh, unfortunately.

Um, there is stuff to make

sandwiches in the fridge,

and feel free to take

whatever you want, okay?

Also, if you have any

trouble like finding anything

or if you wanna talk,

just text me, okay?

Actually, I'll just

call you later.

You don't have

to do that, okay.

I know, I know, I just

don't have any dinner food,

so we'll talk about

dinner, all right?

Okay, bye.

This was a good call.

Yeah, I thought something

dimple would be good.

Mm, how much do I

owe you for everything?

No.

No, really, how

much do I owe you?

Look, I really don't

have anywhere else to go.

I know.

I know that.

And I really appreciate

you letting me stay with you.

[Margaret] Vee.

Just let me finish.

Okay.

Sorry.

I just don't wanna crowd you

and I don't wanna

overstay my welcome.

[Margaret] That's

not why I was asking...

Just let me pay for

food this time, b*tch.

Okay.

Fine.

You dip your

fries in barbecue?

You don't?

It's delicious.

Barbecue's for meat.

You don't eat

barbecue potato chips?

I'll just stick to ketchup.

Where are you goin'?

I'm leaving.

I hope you and your ketchup

are very happy together.

What's wrong with you?

I'm just gettin' some water.

Do you want some water?

Sure.

I didn't know you were silly.

I don't care,

Marge, I wanna see it.

Why?

[Cass] Because

it looks beautiful.

It's out of your price range,

and it's a three-bedroom.

And there are

three of us here.

Woah, I can't.

I can't afford to

move yet, I mean,

I will but I can't do that.

I'm gonna go look at

it, and the two of you

can either come with me, or not.

Come on!

Square, uh let me double

check on the details.

I'm so excited to show

you this location.

Could be the start of a

really cool girl's club.

I'm offering you a chance to

get in on the ground level.

I like my place, Cass.

How much can you pay?

[Marge] Cass.

Are you comfortable

telling me?

I really like this place and

I can afford a big portion

of the rent.

Honestly?

Of course.

I don't know, maybe 500 tops.

She may not want

to live with you.

You may be putting

her on the spot.

I'm sorry, am I doing that?

Not really.

I don't not wanna live with you.

Mhm?

But with both of you.

Oh my god, you two.

(laughs)

You can't even move

for another month,

and this place'll

probably be gone by then.

Three weeks.

They'll save it for us.

My credit score's bomb.

And even if I do

have to pay extra,

it still represents

savings in the long run.

If you join us.

I don't wanna pay

an uneven share.

What if you get last

pick of the bedrooms?

Cass.

What?

She shouldn't have

to worry about that.

You need to start a new life.

Of course you should

be comfortable

with how that gets done, but

let people help you.

I'm not usually good

at helping people.

Ultimately, money is

such a minor thing.

Says the person with money.

Mhm.

Rowr.

I...

I would consider

signing if Mags does.

Ha!

Let's go this, Mags.

I am your destiny.

We are your destiny.

(puppy dog whimpering)

I don't know if I

can break my lease.

Ah!

My dear, we will wait for you!

Hey lady!

Do you wanna keep

talking on the phone

to a prospective client,

or do you wanna make money

right now?

I feel like this could

be really good for me.

For us.

I know I haven't been through

what Vee is going through,

or what Marge has been through,

and I'm thankful for that.

But maybe that means I can help.

Maybe when we live together,

if we talk with the

time, everybody's got

their own sh*t to deal with.

I'm not exactly the

picture of happiness.

A reset will be good.

Why wouldn't I wanna

live with my best friend?

And the more I get to know

Vee, the more I like her.

She's really f***ing smart,

and she's got a smart ass,

which is the best

kind of ass to have,

which makes her my

kind of roommate.

I hope Girl's Club doesn't

turn into book club though.

It might with those two

I could do wine and books.

That could be my contribution.

The wine.

I'm still afraid, yeah,

but I know it's gonna be

a long road, and

that it's gonna take

more than change to help me,

but I don't know,

maybe Cass was right.

I just need something for me.

A new life for me.

Or at least something

with potential.

That's all I know for now,

just that it won't be the

same as it was before.

So.

Are we gonna talk

about the groceries,

or?

Very funny, b*tch.

Very funny.

We'll see how it goes.

It might,

it will probably be good for me.

For all of us.

It's worth a shot.

It's something to do,

in addition to all the

searching and the talking.

Do you know why I

really said yes?

Why?

I'm not stupid.

I know Cass.

I knew something like

this might happen.

The idea gave me hope.

You know?

Finally.

Some real hope.

Something to be thankful for.

I mean, two people

who really get me,

two real people who will

always be there for me,

no matter what.

I feel that trust.
