1
00:00:01,656 --> 00:00:04,290
Oh, hey, Melissa. Hey,
Barbara. I'm baaaack.

2
00:00:04,353 --> 00:00:06,164
We're all back, kid.
It's a Thursday.

3
00:00:06,188 --> 00:00:07,906
Well, yeah, but I'm back back.

4
00:00:07,977 --> 00:00:10,163
Yeah, but wasn't your
first day back last week?

5
00:00:10,187 --> 00:00:11,581
No, it's today.

6
00:00:11,605 --> 00:00:12,916
Welcome back, Janine.

7
00:00:12,940 --> 00:00:14,209
Well, thank you, Mr. Morton.

8
00:00:14,233 --> 00:00:16,086
You know, for someone
fresh off maternity leave,

9
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:17,712
you look great. I
did not have a baby.

10
00:00:17,736 --> 00:00:19,798
I was working at
the school district.

11
00:00:19,822 --> 00:00:21,258
Sure.

12
00:00:21,282 --> 00:00:23,760
Ava: I have an exciting
announcement, Abbott.

13
00:00:23,784 --> 00:00:27,055
Today is the long-anticipated
return of one of our faves

14
00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:28,723
cinnamon buns in the cafeteria.

15
00:00:28,747 --> 00:00:31,851
Cinnamon is da winnah, mon!

16
00:00:31,875 --> 00:00:33,436
Good morning, everyone.

17
00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:35,146
Students: Good
morning. Hey, Alex.

18
00:00:35,170 --> 00:00:37,047
I'm happy you're
back, Miss Teagues.

19
00:00:38,465 --> 00:00:39,859
Thank you.

20
00:00:39,883 --> 00:00:40,902
Let's get started.

21
00:00:54,231 --> 00:00:56,501
Oh, great job, Esme.
Way to carry that one.

22
00:00:56,525 --> 00:00:58,503
We're gonna do great
things this year, guys.

23
00:00:58,527 --> 00:01:00,880
It's almost May.

24
00:01:00,904 --> 00:01:04,217
I've officially been back
teaching for 45 minutes.

25
00:01:04,241 --> 00:01:06,511
We've already played the
States game on the big map,

26
00:01:06,535 --> 00:01:08,263
done a math worksheet,

27
00:01:08,287 --> 00:01:09,723
and one of the students threw up

28
00:01:09,747 --> 00:01:12,100
from eating too
many cinnamon buns.

29
00:01:12,124 --> 00:01:14,102
I can't believe I was
ever not doing this.

30
00:01:19,965 --> 00:01:22,610
Hello! I missed that knock.

31
00:01:22,634 --> 00:01:24,195
It's good to have you back.

32
00:01:24,219 --> 00:01:26,322
Uh, those are nice. The
kids get those for you?

33
00:01:26,346 --> 00:01:28,408
Oh, no. Those are from my
friends at the district.

34
00:01:28,432 --> 00:01:31,953
Ah. Oh, um, do you still have
those glitter glue sticks

35
00:01:31,977 --> 00:01:33,747
I lent your class
back in September?

36
00:01:33,771 --> 00:01:36,458
Yes. Those were for me,
not my class. One second.

37
00:01:36,482 --> 00:01:37,917
Okay.

38
00:01:37,941 --> 00:01:39,836
I hid them in a
secret compartment.

39
00:01:39,860 --> 00:01:41,421
It was a shoe box.

40
00:01:41,445 --> 00:01:43,447
- Ah. Thank you.
- You're welcome.

41
00:01:46,825 --> 00:01:49,095
Mmm. Yum.

42
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:51,181
I missed this coffee so much.

43
00:01:51,205 --> 00:01:52,515
Really? I think it's
bleaching my gums.

44
00:01:52,539 --> 00:01:54,809
Oh, hush!

45
00:01:54,833 --> 00:01:57,187
I got to finish this
before book club.

46
00:01:57,211 --> 00:01:58,688
Oh, I have books. Can I join?

47
00:01:58,712 --> 00:02:00,648
No, you cannot join.
Admission is closed.

48
00:02:00,672 --> 00:02:03,068
Besides, the first
meeting is tonight.

49
00:02:03,092 --> 00:02:05,695
Well, who's in this
exclusive book club?

50
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:09,908
Me, Barb, Ava, Ms. Inez,
Mr. Johnson, Mr. Morton.

51
00:02:09,932 --> 00:02:10,932
Morton?!

52
00:02:12,601 --> 00:02:14,037
Barbara: Book club
was Ava's idea.

53
00:02:14,061 --> 00:02:16,498
She's become a voracious reader.

54
00:02:16,522 --> 00:02:19,292
And Ms. Inez told her
that she might enjoy,

55
00:02:19,316 --> 00:02:21,002
you know, discussing
them with others.

56
00:02:21,026 --> 00:02:24,589
And I love literature
and community.

57
00:02:24,613 --> 00:02:27,634
Even if she did name it AARB.

58
00:02:27,658 --> 00:02:30,386
Ava And Her Reading Bitches
going off tonight in the gym.

59
00:02:30,410 --> 00:02:31,805
This bitch is ready.

60
00:02:31,829 --> 00:02:33,390
I should be that bitch.

61
00:02:33,414 --> 00:02:36,059
Plus, I ordered Danny Wok's
and Morton's paying for it.

62
00:02:36,083 --> 00:02:37,769
That's a rotating
schedule, right?

63
00:02:37,793 --> 00:02:40,939
Sure. Anyway, I am hype.

64
00:02:40,963 --> 00:02:42,899
It will be a most
erudite discussion.

65
00:02:42,923 --> 00:02:44,442
Melissa: Yeah, I
flew through it.

66
00:02:44,466 --> 00:02:46,444
Even though it did kind of
give arsonists a bad name.

67
00:02:46,468 --> 00:02:48,988
Oh, please. Shh! I'm not done.

68
00:02:49,012 --> 00:02:50,532
You didn't finish your homework?

69
00:02:50,556 --> 00:02:51,783
Proud of you, girl.

70
00:02:51,807 --> 00:02:53,118
Janine: Well, what's the book?

71
00:02:53,142 --> 00:02:54,536
"Parable of the Sower"
by Octavia Butler.

72
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,745
Oh, I've read that!

73
00:02:55,769 --> 00:02:58,331
What an intense,
sad, introspect...

74
00:02:58,355 --> 00:03:02,377
We do not need this feminist
novel mansplained to us.

75
00:03:02,401 --> 00:03:04,337
Well, then why does Morton
get to be in the club?

76
00:03:04,361 --> 00:03:06,047
Because he's trying
to better understand

77
00:03:06,071 --> 00:03:07,424
the female perspective

78
00:03:07,448 --> 00:03:09,717
while he goes through
his trial separation.

79
00:03:09,741 --> 00:03:11,594
So, there.

80
00:03:11,618 --> 00:03:13,805
Yo, yo! Greggo my Eggo.

81
00:03:13,829 --> 00:03:15,598
Tonight I'm getting
dinner with this paramedic

82
00:03:15,622 --> 00:03:17,142
I've been seeing, Avi. Okay.

83
00:03:17,166 --> 00:03:19,269
And he's got this
super-chill coworker.

84
00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:20,645
He thought, oh, it might be fun

85
00:03:20,669 --> 00:03:22,480
if we made it, like,
a double-dateski.

86
00:03:22,504 --> 00:03:24,107
He asked if I had
a straight friend,

87
00:03:24,131 --> 00:03:26,609
and I was like, "I've
got the best one ever."

88
00:03:26,633 --> 00:03:30,280
You in? Um, you know...

89
00:03:30,304 --> 00:03:32,031
I am getting a little
tired of these apps.

90
00:03:32,055 --> 00:03:35,076
Why do you need apps
when you've got J-date?

91
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:36,744
Or, no, sorry.

92
00:03:36,768 --> 00:03:37,996
Yeah, let's do it.

93
00:03:38,020 --> 00:03:39,497
It's probably time
to shake it up.

94
00:03:39,521 --> 00:03:41,040
My last date kept using

95
00:03:41,064 --> 00:03:42,709
the wrong spelling of
"there" in every single text.

96
00:03:42,733 --> 00:03:45,044
You'd think she'd get it
right even by accident.

97
00:03:45,068 --> 00:03:47,255
Uh, anyway, I'll
see you T-H-E-R-E.

98
00:03:47,279 --> 00:03:48,631
Heck, yeah! Oh.

99
00:03:48,655 --> 00:03:50,258
You okay? Sorry, Quinn.

100
00:03:50,282 --> 00:03:51,551
- Very good.
- I did.

101
00:03:51,575 --> 00:03:52,784
All rise!

102
00:03:54,203 --> 00:03:55,847
Or don't.

103
00:03:55,871 --> 00:03:57,640
This book club is
now in session.

104
00:03:57,664 --> 00:03:59,684
Since this is my
first nerd hang,

105
00:03:59,708 --> 00:04:01,728
Roz, what do we do?

106
00:04:01,752 --> 00:04:03,771
Well, we can start
with everyone saying

107
00:04:03,795 --> 00:04:04,814
whether they liked the book.

108
00:04:04,838 --> 00:04:06,357
I loved it.

109
00:04:06,381 --> 00:04:09,027
It was so refreshing
to have a protagonist

110
00:04:09,051 --> 00:04:12,238
that actually put her
faith first in decisions.

111
00:04:12,262 --> 00:04:15,241
Yeah, and I love novels
about societal collapse.

112
00:04:15,265 --> 00:04:17,076
A world without laws?

113
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:18,953
Don't threaten me
with a good time.

114
00:04:18,977 --> 00:04:20,914
Well, I think we can all agree

115
00:04:20,938 --> 00:04:23,219
that some of the feminist
rhetoric was a bit over the top.

116
00:04:24,566 --> 00:04:25,835
Well, actually,
couple's counseling

117
00:04:25,859 --> 00:04:27,837
is going pretty poorly. Why?

118
00:04:27,861 --> 00:04:31,090
Okay, back on topic.

119
00:04:31,114 --> 00:04:34,636
Uh, let's imagine in a
post-apocalyptic society

120
00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:38,223
like this one, what skills
would you bring to the table?

121
00:04:38,247 --> 00:04:40,266
For instance, if pushed,

122
00:04:40,290 --> 00:04:42,393
I could strangle someone to
death with my bare hands.

123
00:04:42,417 --> 00:04:45,146
Pfft. Well, I have
a family history

124
00:04:45,170 --> 00:04:47,273
of doing what needs to be done.

125
00:04:47,297 --> 00:04:50,652
I can fish and throw a plunger
60 yards if it comes to that.

126
00:04:50,676 --> 00:04:53,905
My strength is my
faith and my voice...

127
00:04:53,929 --> 00:04:59,118
♪ To heal the sca-a-a-red ♪

128
00:04:59,142 --> 00:05:00,119
Amen.

129
00:05:00,143 --> 00:05:01,829
I'm funny, and I know science.

130
00:05:01,853 --> 00:05:03,540
You are not funny,

131
00:05:03,564 --> 00:05:05,875
and you know the periodic
table and plate tectonics,

132
00:05:05,899 --> 00:05:07,669
not how to filter water.

133
00:05:07,693 --> 00:05:10,255
Honestly, I'm pretty
shaky on plate tectonics.

134
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,363
Mm.

135
00:05:12,781 --> 00:05:15,677
Uh, what about you, Ava?

136
00:05:15,701 --> 00:05:17,512
I'd be leader, of course.

137
00:05:17,536 --> 00:05:19,556
You wouldn't be my leader.

138
00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:21,474
Why not? I've been prepping

139
00:05:21,498 --> 00:05:24,102
for environmental catastrophe
since I was 10 years old.

140
00:05:24,126 --> 00:05:25,645
I have a year's worth
of fresh water hidden

141
00:05:25,669 --> 00:05:28,106
in this very

142
00:05:28,130 --> 00:05:30,483
in a building that
I know someplace.

143
00:05:30,507 --> 00:05:33,027
Mm. Well, thank
you very much, Ava,

144
00:05:33,051 --> 00:05:36,155
but I think that my faith-based
governance would thrive

145
00:05:36,179 --> 00:05:37,448
in the end times.

146
00:05:37,472 --> 00:05:38,992
Yeah, right.

147
00:05:39,016 --> 00:05:41,536
Barb, you know I love you. Um...

148
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,830
Just that you're
a spiritual woman,

149
00:05:43,854 --> 00:05:45,832
and there are a couple
of stone tablets

150
00:05:45,856 --> 00:05:47,000
that might get in the way

151
00:05:47,024 --> 00:05:49,168
of the tough decisions

152
00:05:49,192 --> 00:05:51,421
that you have to make
in the apocalypse.

153
00:05:51,445 --> 00:05:55,008
So I think I better go it alone.

154
00:05:55,032 --> 00:05:56,950
Well... Can you dig a hole?

155
00:05:58,243 --> 00:05:59,846
Can you dig two holes?

156
00:05:59,870 --> 00:06:02,289
Yeah, Barb. How many
holes can you dig?

157
00:06:04,624 --> 00:06:07,729
Blood was spraying everywhere.
I was literally soaked.

158
00:06:07,753 --> 00:06:09,897
That is disgusting.

159
00:06:09,921 --> 00:06:11,274
It was totally disgusting.

160
00:06:11,298 --> 00:06:14,343
And so I-I applied the
tourniquet and, um...

161
00:06:17,304 --> 00:06:21,034
And he looks up, and he
says, "Did I look cool?"

162
00:06:21,058 --> 00:06:23,018
And those were the last
words he ever said.

163
00:06:25,228 --> 00:06:27,248
I know.

164
00:06:27,272 --> 00:06:29,334
No, I'm just kidding. I was
just kidding. Are you serious?

165
00:06:29,358 --> 00:06:31,544
Yeah, no, he was fine, yeah. I-I really
believed you right there for a second.

166
00:06:31,568 --> 00:06:33,588
We brought him to
the ER. He was fine.

167
00:06:33,612 --> 00:06:35,381
Probably. We don't
usually do follow-ups.

168
00:06:35,405 --> 00:06:38,051
Okay. What is the most blood
that you have ever seen?

169
00:06:38,075 --> 00:06:39,344
Trust me, I can handle it.

170
00:06:39,368 --> 00:06:40,887
"Gory" is literally in my name.

171
00:06:40,911 --> 00:06:42,930
Okay, you're weird,
which is perfect

172
00:06:42,954 --> 00:06:45,433
'cause so is Olivia.

173
00:06:45,457 --> 00:06:47,894
So, we are looking at
like a 45-minute wait.

174
00:06:47,918 --> 00:06:48,936
Gregory, keep your ringer on.

175
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,188
I gave your number
to the restaurant.

176
00:06:50,212 --> 00:06:51,856
Oh, should we get a
drink here while we wait?

177
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,524
They have darts.

178
00:06:53,548 --> 00:06:56,027
Oh, Jacob's banned from the
darts here, speaking of blood.

179
00:06:56,051 --> 00:06:57,403
Oh. How am I supposed
to get better

180
00:06:57,427 --> 00:06:58,988
if they won't let me practice?

181
00:06:59,012 --> 00:07:00,740
Gregory: It's just a liability.

182
00:07:04,434 --> 00:07:05,661
This place is packed.

183
00:07:05,685 --> 00:07:07,288
Does anyone see a
max-occupancy sign?

184
00:07:07,312 --> 00:07:08,623
Avi.

185
00:07:08,647 --> 00:07:09,999
You're right. We're
off the clock.

186
00:07:10,023 --> 00:07:12,085
I'll grab the first round.

187
00:07:12,109 --> 00:07:14,879
Is that Janine?

188
00:07:14,903 --> 00:07:16,464
Jacob: Oh, my Godot, it is.

189
00:07:16,488 --> 00:07:18,508
She looks amazing.

190
00:07:18,532 --> 00:07:19,532
Is she on a date?

191
00:07:22,202 --> 00:07:23,662
With Manny?

192
00:07:26,873 --> 00:07:28,810
And now, Janine is
back working at Abbott.

193
00:07:28,834 --> 00:07:29,811
Avi, you remember Janine.

194
00:07:29,835 --> 00:07:30,812
She punted the CPR dummy.

195
00:07:30,836 --> 00:07:32,605
Exactly. Let's go say hi.

196
00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:34,690
No, no, no, no. I
don't think we should.

197
00:07:34,714 --> 00:07:38,486
Um, no one wants to be on a
date around their coworkers.

198
00:07:38,510 --> 00:07:40,530
Well, Avi and I coworkers
and we're on dates.

199
00:07:40,554 --> 00:07:42,281
Same for you and Jacob.

200
00:07:42,305 --> 00:07:43,491
Yeah, and I-I'm not so
sure that it's a date.

201
00:07:43,515 --> 00:07:45,076
Janine would have told me.

202
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:46,828
Well, that's exactly why
we shouldn't go over there.

203
00:07:46,852 --> 00:07:48,871
I mean, she clearly
wants her privacy.

204
00:07:48,895 --> 00:07:51,499
Why are you so sure
she's on a date?

205
00:07:51,523 --> 00:07:52,858
Look at what she's wearing.

206
00:07:54,443 --> 00:07:56,337
Yeah, that's a freak'um dress.

207
00:07:56,361 --> 00:08:00,174
She's on a date.
God, and he's cute.

208
00:08:00,198 --> 00:08:02,909
See, Jacob? It's
a freak'um dress.

209
00:08:04,578 --> 00:08:05,745
And he's cute.

210
00:08:07,164 --> 00:08:09,749
♪ Every day ♪

211
00:08:12,210 --> 00:08:13,438
Not gonna get involved in all
of it. How are we gonna flow

212
00:08:13,462 --> 00:08:15,440
if no one's listening
to each other?

213
00:08:15,464 --> 00:08:17,483
That's the problem.
All I'm saying is

214
00:08:17,507 --> 00:08:20,719
at some point, cannibalism
becomes a caloric necessity.

215
00:08:22,846 --> 00:08:26,492
I-It feels like we all
had different takeaways.

216
00:08:26,516 --> 00:08:27,952
Which is okay!

217
00:08:27,976 --> 00:08:29,518
No, it's not. It's disgusting.

218
00:08:29,612 --> 00:08:32,924
The message of the book
was actually quite simple.

219
00:08:32,948 --> 00:08:35,093
His messages usually are.

220
00:08:35,117 --> 00:08:36,928
Oh, yeah, if you agree
that the message is

221
00:08:36,952 --> 00:08:40,223
human beings should rarely,
if ever, trust each other.

222
00:08:40,247 --> 00:08:42,684
And avoid California. Mm!

223
00:08:42,708 --> 00:08:44,519
Ava: I see why y'all didn't
want me to be in charge.

224
00:08:44,543 --> 00:08:47,064
You obviously lack
reading-comprehension skills,

225
00:08:47,088 --> 00:08:49,358
which explains a lot about this
school in general, actually.

226
00:08:49,382 --> 00:08:50,942
I-I-I have to say,

227
00:08:50,966 --> 00:08:54,237
usually reading discussions
expand the mind.

228
00:08:54,261 --> 00:08:56,448
But this seems to have only
reinforced your existing

229
00:08:56,472 --> 00:08:58,617
and troubling viewpoints.

230
00:08:58,641 --> 00:09:00,660
I'd rather die than
change my mind.

231
00:09:00,684 --> 00:09:02,412
It's the American way.

232
00:09:02,436 --> 00:09:04,623
Perhaps one-on-one conversations

233
00:09:04,647 --> 00:09:06,875
would be more fruitful.

234
00:09:06,899 --> 00:09:08,210
Factions, you say?

235
00:09:08,234 --> 00:09:10,087
Well, small discussion groups.

236
00:09:10,111 --> 00:09:12,714
Fine by me. Melissa
and Mr. Johnson,

237
00:09:12,738 --> 00:09:15,050
your shared nihilism seems
compatible, and... Mm-hmm.

238
00:09:15,074 --> 00:09:18,053
Roz, your ability to see
the best in everyone means

239
00:09:18,077 --> 00:09:19,554
that you'll thrive
under my leadership.

240
00:09:19,578 --> 00:09:21,431
And, Barbara,

241
00:09:21,455 --> 00:09:23,016
you think that
religion is the answer,

242
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,936
which makes you the only
person that will take Morton.

243
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,604
Okay, come on, Mr. J.

244
00:09:27,628 --> 00:09:30,524
I wanna hear more about your
philosophy on booby trapping.

245
00:09:30,548 --> 00:09:31,650
Nothing beats a
good old-fashioned

246
00:09:31,674 --> 00:09:33,527
pit of sharpened sticks.

247
00:09:34,927 --> 00:09:36,613
Greg. Greg.

248
00:09:36,637 --> 00:09:38,990
Yeah. Did you...
Did you hear that?

249
00:09:39,014 --> 00:09:41,326
Yes. That was hilarious.

250
00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:43,662
Oh. That I'm the oldest of four?

251
00:09:43,686 --> 00:09:45,080
Well, yeah, it was
the way you said it.

252
00:09:45,104 --> 00:09:46,540
I got to me.

253
00:09:46,564 --> 00:09:47,582
Oh, then you're gonna love this.

254
00:09:47,606 --> 00:09:50,544
I'm an only child.

255
00:09:50,568 --> 00:09:53,088
Oh, you're a tough
nut to crack, Gregory.

256
00:09:53,112 --> 00:09:54,631
I was actually triplets,

257
00:09:54,655 --> 00:09:56,633
but I absorbed my
siblings in the womb,

258
00:09:56,657 --> 00:09:58,385
and so my mom named me...

259
00:09:58,409 --> 00:10:00,345
Are you, um... you
feeling okay, buddy?

260
00:10:00,369 --> 00:10:02,556
Yeah. Yeah, I'm good. Okay.

261
00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:04,808
He's really just gonna
go sit next to her, okay.

262
00:10:04,832 --> 00:10:06,476
Well, you did say
they're on a date.

263
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:08,770
Yeah. I mean, of course, and,
like, it... it doesn't...

264
00:10:08,794 --> 00:10:10,355
Who cares? You know
what I'm saying?

265
00:10:10,379 --> 00:10:12,816
But, like, they must
be dating for a while.

266
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,278
And it's weird that she
wouldn't tell us, you know?

267
00:10:16,302 --> 00:10:17,904
You know what? He
must have been the one

268
00:10:17,928 --> 00:10:20,824
who sent those flowers
that were on her desk.

269
00:10:20,848 --> 00:10:22,826
Of course. Look at his beard.

270
00:10:22,850 --> 00:10:24,161
What does his beard have
to do with anything?

271
00:10:24,185 --> 00:10:25,454
That's a date beard.

272
00:10:25,478 --> 00:10:27,080
What is a date beard?

273
00:10:27,104 --> 00:10:29,082
I-I'm just saying he grows a
really nice beard, you know?

274
00:10:29,106 --> 00:10:31,543
And that's... that's
the kind of beard

275
00:10:31,567 --> 00:10:34,379
that you want to
be on a date with.

276
00:10:34,403 --> 00:10:36,673
Like, for example, Olivia. Hmm?

277
00:10:36,697 --> 00:10:38,258
You would be so much
more attracted to me

278
00:10:38,282 --> 00:10:39,593
if I had that beard, right?

279
00:10:39,617 --> 00:10:41,952
Oh, that's not
really... Definitely.

280
00:10:42,995 --> 00:10:44,431
Right.

281
00:10:44,455 --> 00:10:47,684
I identified with the
character's hyper-empathy.

282
00:10:47,708 --> 00:10:49,394
You know, you talk a
lot for a librarian.

283
00:10:49,418 --> 00:10:51,730
I can barely hear what
others are plotting.

284
00:10:51,754 --> 00:10:54,048
And I don't even think it's
even about the hentai anymore.

285
00:10:56,091 --> 00:10:58,320
Why don't I go and
get us some water?

286
00:10:58,344 --> 00:11:02,032
And, uh, no need to
pause while I'm gone.

287
00:11:02,056 --> 00:11:05,577
Heads up... we got a missionary
coming our way from Bible-town.

288
00:11:05,601 --> 00:11:07,746
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

289
00:11:07,770 --> 00:11:09,414
I'm just grabbing some
water for our group.

290
00:11:09,438 --> 00:11:10,916
You're grabbing?

291
00:11:10,940 --> 00:11:14,169
We don't take kindly to
thieves around these parts.

292
00:11:14,193 --> 00:11:17,464
Maybe you should try
praying for some water.

293
00:11:17,488 --> 00:11:19,591
M-Maybe we should all
come back together as a...

294
00:11:19,615 --> 00:11:21,635
I got the water!
Hey, what'd she do?

295
00:11:21,659 --> 00:11:23,094
Good distraction.

296
00:11:23,118 --> 00:11:24,721
Not what I was going for at all.

297
00:11:24,745 --> 00:11:26,598
I know. You're lucky
I'm such a brave leader.

298
00:11:26,622 --> 00:11:28,558
Now check me for wounds.

299
00:11:28,582 --> 00:11:32,062
I got Danny Wok's
for... Phoebe Morton?

300
00:11:32,086 --> 00:11:34,064
Oh, that's me.

301
00:11:34,088 --> 00:11:36,399
It's my wife's credit card, and
boy, does she love to remind me.

302
00:11:36,423 --> 00:11:39,194
Well, looks like

303
00:11:39,218 --> 00:11:42,364
the Good Lord
delivered once again.

304
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:44,991
Is that "Parable of the Sower"?

305
00:11:45,015 --> 00:11:47,118
I read that book.

306
00:11:47,142 --> 00:11:49,162
Well, how would you like
to join an alliance of

307
00:11:49,186 --> 00:11:52,290
independent barbarians scouring
the wasteland for resources?

308
00:11:52,314 --> 00:11:54,668
Hmm. Absolutely.

309
00:11:54,692 --> 00:11:56,878
I've been trying to
get fired all week.

310
00:11:56,902 --> 00:11:58,588
Barbara: Let's see
what's in the bag.

311
00:11:58,612 --> 00:12:00,757
Oh!

312
00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:08,265
Olivia, I'm sorry.

313
00:12:08,289 --> 00:12:10,809
I've been distracted,
and that's rude.

314
00:12:10,833 --> 00:12:12,686
But have you ever
bumped into somebody

315
00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:15,855
that you just didn't
expect to see?

316
00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:17,274
Actually, yeah.

317
00:12:17,298 --> 00:12:19,526
Uh, I responded to a call
at my piano teacher's...

318
00:12:19,550 --> 00:12:21,736
Is that... Is that
Tariq and Erika?

319
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,780
Is she on double
date with her ex?

320
00:12:23,804 --> 00:12:25,991
So you just know everyone
at this bar, then?

321
00:12:26,015 --> 00:12:28,493
Jacob, is Tariq dating Erika?

322
00:12:28,517 --> 00:12:30,036
I think he's still
dating Nick's mom.

323
00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:32,372
Uh, hello. Can I be
a part of this convo?

324
00:12:32,396 --> 00:12:34,457
Um, yes, I'm sorry. So sorry.

325
00:12:34,481 --> 00:12:36,710
You were saying
something about, uh,

326
00:12:36,734 --> 00:12:39,212
your piano teacher
and a call, right?

327
00:12:39,236 --> 00:12:41,381
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

328
00:12:41,405 --> 00:12:43,633
So, I'm going up the stairs,
and I'm looking around,

329
00:12:43,657 --> 00:12:46,052
and I realize the guy
looks so familiar.

330
00:12:46,076 --> 00:12:48,013
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

331
00:12:48,037 --> 00:12:51,891
Hey... Janine.

332
00:12:51,915 --> 00:12:53,768
Gregory?

333
00:12:53,792 --> 00:12:55,520
And is that Manny?

334
00:12:55,544 --> 00:12:57,814
Manny: Come on. That's
crazy. How are you?

335
00:12:57,838 --> 00:12:59,441
I'm good, bro. How are
you doing, Gregory Eddie?

336
00:12:59,465 --> 00:13:00,632
I'm...

337
00:13:03,648 --> 00:13:05,459
Good. I'm gonna...
Be right back.

338
00:13:05,483 --> 00:13:07,336
No. No. I'll be right back.

339
00:13:13,457 --> 00:13:15,352
What's up? Gregory
Eddie, what's up, man?

340
00:13:15,376 --> 00:13:16,686
Yeah, yeah. It's
good to see you.

341
00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:18,730
Hey, Gregory. What's
up? Are you... Hey.

342
00:13:18,754 --> 00:13:20,649
Are you on a double
date with Jacob?

343
00:13:20,673 --> 00:13:22,984
Yeah. Yeah, me and Jake are
on a... on a double date.

344
00:13:23,008 --> 00:13:23,961
I dunno know about
y'all, though.

345
00:13:24,126 --> 00:13:26,187
Did you just call
him Jake? I'm sorry.

346
00:13:26,211 --> 00:13:28,481
I did. I did. Yeah.
I did. Oh. Okay.

347
00:13:28,505 --> 00:13:30,692
But how we doing here?
H-How's... How's the date going?

348
00:13:30,716 --> 00:13:33,152
Yo, Talent Manager. What's up?

349
00:13:33,176 --> 00:13:35,321
Hey, uh, remember that
time you screamed,

350
00:13:35,345 --> 00:13:36,823
and then everybody
looked at you?

351
00:13:36,847 --> 00:13:39,117
Yeah. You're a
wild card, dude.

352
00:13:39,141 --> 00:13:41,160
Pretty normal card.

353
00:13:41,184 --> 00:13:43,955
That girl you're with is cute.

354
00:13:43,979 --> 00:13:46,791
Who? O-Olivia? Oh,
yeah, yeah, yeah.

355
00:13:46,815 --> 00:13:48,334
She's cool. She's great.

356
00:13:48,358 --> 00:13:50,587
She's, um, a hero,
actually. She's an EMT. Oh.

357
00:13:50,611 --> 00:13:52,422
Nice. But isn't it crazy
that we're all here

358
00:13:52,446 --> 00:13:55,091
at Rubensteins tonight just
dating it up, everybody?

359
00:13:55,115 --> 00:13:57,010
You here. You here.
I'm here. We all here.

360
00:13:57,034 --> 00:13:58,803
We dating. Erika: Well...

361
00:13:58,827 --> 00:14:01,139
Uh, no, not me. My
lady's at the house.

362
00:14:01,163 --> 00:14:02,765
She taking in a
Redbox right now,

363
00:14:02,789 --> 00:14:05,018
a.k.a. a case of
Merlot. Mm. Right.

364
00:14:05,042 --> 00:14:06,769
I'm here on official
PTA president business,

365
00:14:06,793 --> 00:14:08,688
meeting with Manny on
the district's tab.

366
00:14:08,712 --> 00:14:10,565
No, no, no. The district's
not paying for these drinks.

367
00:14:10,589 --> 00:14:12,400
Oh, well, someone with the last
name District bought these.

368
00:14:13,216 --> 00:14:15,528
Wait. I know you didn't think
I was on a date with Tariq?

369
00:14:15,552 --> 00:14:17,989
Oh, so only the people on the
right side of the booth are dating?

370
00:14:18,013 --> 00:14:20,074
No, Greg, none of
us are on dates.

371
00:14:20,098 --> 00:14:21,743
Nobody here is on a date, so...

372
00:14:21,767 --> 00:14:24,954
Oh, but you all are
dressed so well.

373
00:14:24,978 --> 00:14:27,206
We do look good.
I'll give you that.

374
00:14:27,230 --> 00:14:28,791
Erika and I are going out to
the hookah bar after this, so...

375
00:14:28,815 --> 00:14:31,419
Ah, okay. So why are
you here with Manny?

376
00:14:31,443 --> 00:14:34,881
We were just tying up some
loose ends at the district

377
00:14:34,905 --> 00:14:36,090
really quickly... Right, right.

378
00:14:36,114 --> 00:14:37,467
and Rubensteins
is the only place

379
00:14:37,491 --> 00:14:39,052
you can take your
laptop out after 5:00.

380
00:14:39,076 --> 00:14:40,386
Hey-oh. Oh, okay.

381
00:14:40,410 --> 00:14:41,888
I'm don't see a laptop, but, uh,

382
00:14:41,912 --> 00:14:43,806
you got up and you moved
to the other side, so...

383
00:14:43,830 --> 00:14:46,351
Oh, you have been
here a while. Mm-hmm.

384
00:14:46,375 --> 00:14:49,270
Okay. Well, Manny was just
showing me a text thread

385
00:14:49,294 --> 00:14:51,481
between him and the
superintendent. Mm.

386
00:14:51,505 --> 00:14:53,900
He keeps responding to all my
texts with Nelson Mandela GIFs,

387
00:14:53,924 --> 00:14:55,693
and I think it's fascinating.

388
00:14:55,717 --> 00:14:57,278
Fascinating. So fascinating.

389
00:14:57,302 --> 00:14:58,905
I want to know so
much about that.

390
00:14:58,929 --> 00:15:00,823
But then you popped
that mint and...

391
00:15:00,847 --> 00:15:02,492
Because we were
eating garlic bread,

392
00:15:02,516 --> 00:15:04,410
and I didn't want to be
bothering Miss Teagues. Yeah.

393
00:15:04,434 --> 00:15:07,622
So, it's actually pretty
delicious, if you want some.

394
00:15:07,646 --> 00:15:09,666
But your beard.

395
00:15:09,690 --> 00:15:12,418
Crumbs are inevitable, man.

396
00:15:12,442 --> 00:15:14,921
Damn, Gregory! Any
more questions?

397
00:15:14,945 --> 00:15:17,173
Rubensteins going
off on a Thursday!

398
00:15:17,197 --> 00:15:18,883
What's up, Brunchy Bunchers?!

399
00:15:18,907 --> 00:15:20,551
Oh!

400
00:15:20,575 --> 00:15:22,011
Together: Eat it up!

401
00:15:22,035 --> 00:15:25,139
Jake, um, so nobody
here is on a date.

402
00:15:25,163 --> 00:15:27,600
None of them are dating.

403
00:15:27,624 --> 00:15:29,477
Which is what you were
trying to tell me,

404
00:15:29,501 --> 00:15:30,770
and I should have
listened. Right, right.

405
00:15:30,794 --> 00:15:33,064
Oh, oh, the, um...

406
00:15:33,088 --> 00:15:34,524
We gotta... The...
Yep. Yeah. Okay.

407
00:15:34,548 --> 00:15:37,151
Our, uh, table
next door is ready.

408
00:15:37,175 --> 00:15:40,113
Um, but this was really great.
We should do this again.

409
00:15:40,137 --> 00:15:42,156
Do what exactly? All
right. Have a good night.

410
00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:44,617
Uh, all right, well,
now that that's done,

411
00:15:44,641 --> 00:15:47,745
Manny, what is the difference
between a BCC and a CC?

412
00:15:47,769 --> 00:15:52,083
And if somebody BCCs
me, who can CC that?

413
00:15:52,107 --> 00:15:53,501
Are you ready to go? I am.

414
00:15:53,525 --> 00:15:55,586
Okay. Let's...

415
00:15:55,610 --> 00:15:58,214
Y'all just marinate
on that, okay?

416
00:15:58,238 --> 00:16:00,174
Ava, you can't scarf
those wings all yourself.

417
00:16:00,198 --> 00:16:01,426
You're supposed to share.

418
00:16:01,450 --> 00:16:03,886
Mm-hmm. And why did
you give her the food?

419
00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:05,179
Well, she told me
she'd give me a raise.

420
00:16:05,203 --> 00:16:06,931
And you bought that?

421
00:16:06,955 --> 00:16:09,142
Oh, so now I'm only supposed to
believe women some of the time?

422
00:16:09,166 --> 00:16:11,644
Ooh. It is this behavior

423
00:16:11,668 --> 00:16:14,689
why we would never let
you lead us in a crisis.

424
00:16:14,713 --> 00:16:17,400
Nobody lets me do anything.

425
00:16:17,424 --> 00:16:19,861
Yet, here I am, doing things.

426
00:16:19,885 --> 00:16:22,155
That's why I'm a leader.

427
00:16:22,179 --> 00:16:25,223
Now, who will bend the
knee and kiss the wing?

428
00:16:26,892 --> 00:16:30,163
What... Have some self-respect!
What is wrong with you, son?

429
00:16:30,187 --> 00:16:32,498
Ava, we are not your
TikTok followers.

430
00:16:32,522 --> 00:16:35,543
We are all alphas.
Well, most of us.

431
00:16:35,567 --> 00:16:37,962
What? I'm an alpha. Woof-woof.

432
00:16:37,986 --> 00:16:39,630
You know, I shouldn't
have trusted my food

433
00:16:39,654 --> 00:16:42,152
to any of yo use anyway.
I'm gonna order my own.

434
00:16:42,181 --> 00:16:43,992
We closed a half hour ago.

435
00:16:44,017 --> 00:16:46,162
Wh... Why are you still here?

436
00:16:46,621 --> 00:16:48,180
Because we closed
a half hour ago.

437
00:16:48,251 --> 00:16:50,479
He's an integral part of
my splinter community.

438
00:16:50,503 --> 00:16:53,774
All right, all right. This
has gotten really weird.

439
00:16:53,798 --> 00:16:55,943
I can't believe
it's 8:00 already.

440
00:16:55,967 --> 00:16:58,070
I was supposed to pick
my kids up at 7:00.

441
00:16:58,094 --> 00:17:00,280
I've been thinking
of "Grapes of Wrath."

442
00:17:00,304 --> 00:17:02,366
I ain't read this.

443
00:17:02,390 --> 00:17:04,225
This is not how book
clubs are supposed to go.

444
00:17:06,769 --> 00:17:09,540
We were supposed to
be creating community

445
00:17:09,564 --> 00:17:11,834
around the shared
love of literature.

446
00:17:11,858 --> 00:17:13,877
And instead, we
just picked sides

447
00:17:13,901 --> 00:17:16,797
and refused to see each
other's point of view.

448
00:17:16,821 --> 00:17:18,841
Hmm. You know something?

449
00:17:18,865 --> 00:17:24,054
I'm starting to see Ms. Inez's
point of view very clearly.

450
00:17:24,078 --> 00:17:25,848
I'm leaving.

451
00:17:25,872 --> 00:17:28,058
Yeah, and for the first time
tonight, Barb, I'm with ya.

452
00:17:28,082 --> 00:17:29,935
Come on.

453
00:17:32,587 --> 00:17:34,648
Well, well, well.

454
00:17:34,672 --> 00:17:36,233
At least you all can recognize

455
00:17:36,257 --> 00:17:38,443
that I'm the only
one tough enough

456
00:17:38,467 --> 00:17:40,946
and smart enough to
lead in the end times.

457
00:17:40,970 --> 00:17:43,574
Followers always give up.

458
00:17:43,598 --> 00:17:45,784
Now, follow the other
losers outta here.

459
00:17:45,808 --> 00:17:47,661
Oh, do you feel that, Barb?

460
00:17:47,685 --> 00:17:49,246
Oh, I sure do.

461
00:17:49,270 --> 00:17:51,248
Yeah, that feels just
like I got a second wind.

462
00:17:51,272 --> 00:17:54,293
Oh, with such rich text,

463
00:17:54,317 --> 00:17:57,880
I could talk about
this book forever.

464
00:17:57,904 --> 00:18:00,382
Fine by me. This
is your simulation.

465
00:18:00,406 --> 00:18:02,176
I'm just living in it.

466
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,844
Hmm.

467
00:18:03,868 --> 00:18:06,805
Now, where were we?

468
00:18:06,829 --> 00:18:08,724
All right, our
tab's all closed up.

469
00:18:08,748 --> 00:18:10,184
Perfect, because
our table is ready.

470
00:18:10,208 --> 00:18:11,560
Well, it was ready
30 minutes ago,

471
00:18:11,584 --> 00:18:12,769
and I think they gave it away.

472
00:18:12,793 --> 00:18:14,271
But that means we
missed the rush,

473
00:18:14,295 --> 00:18:15,898
so we can just go put our
names back on the list.

474
00:18:15,922 --> 00:18:18,358
Actually, I-I don't know if
your friend is on a date,

475
00:18:18,382 --> 00:18:20,194
but you're not.

476
00:18:20,218 --> 00:18:22,112
I have to go.

477
00:18:22,136 --> 00:18:23,614
Hey, hey, hey, hey.

478
00:18:23,638 --> 00:18:26,992
Um, look, I'm sorry.

479
00:18:27,016 --> 00:18:29,077
Maybe I can still see
you around some time?

480
00:18:29,101 --> 00:18:31,038
Maybe.

481
00:18:31,062 --> 00:18:33,147
If you're in, like,
a serious accident.

482
00:18:35,983 --> 00:18:38,629
Hey, um, sorry tonight
got a little weird.

483
00:18:38,653 --> 00:18:40,714
Oh, no. This is the best
date I've ever been on.

484
00:18:40,738 --> 00:18:42,674
Your friend is so messy.

485
00:18:42,698 --> 00:18:44,617
Yeah.

486
00:18:50,456 --> 00:18:52,976
Oh, no. Hell no. What
are y'all doing here?

487
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,978
Ooh, ooh! Why does it stink?

488
00:18:55,002 --> 00:18:57,231
W-Where am I? What day is it?

489
00:18:57,255 --> 00:19:00,150
It's Friday, which means you
are all cleaning this up.

490
00:19:00,174 --> 00:19:01,818
The kids will be in here soon.

491
00:19:01,842 --> 00:19:04,696
Okay, fine, but before we go,
I think we can all agree...

492
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,406
That I am the leader

493
00:19:06,430 --> 00:19:08,158
that will best protect
us during the end times.

494
00:19:08,182 --> 00:19:10,285
We agree on nothing!

495
00:19:10,309 --> 00:19:13,121
Hold up. "Parable of the Sower"?

496
00:19:13,145 --> 00:19:15,541
Uh-huh. Well, you
missed the point.

497
00:19:15,565 --> 00:19:18,210
The protagonist... she does not
want to rule over her followers.

498
00:19:18,234 --> 00:19:20,504
She wants them to see the
counter intuitive truth

499
00:19:20,528 --> 00:19:24,049
that the only path to actual
survival is diversity.

500
00:19:24,073 --> 00:19:26,260
But I'm not here to talk about.

501
00:19:26,284 --> 00:19:28,220
Afrofuturist
speculative fiction.

502
00:19:28,244 --> 00:19:30,722
I'm here to heat
up cinnamon buns.

503
00:19:30,746 --> 00:19:32,391
Now, get the hell out.

504
00:19:32,415 --> 00:19:33,767
Okay. All right.

505
00:19:33,791 --> 00:19:36,019
All right. My back.

506
00:19:36,043 --> 00:19:37,837
Y'all just gonna
leave all this trash?

507
00:19:40,339 --> 00:19:42,526
Gregory, Gregory, Gregory.

508
00:19:42,550 --> 00:19:45,028
You sneaky little...

509
00:19:45,052 --> 00:19:46,697
Hey, guys! Gregory: Hey!

510
00:19:46,721 --> 00:19:49,449
Crazy running into
you last night.

511
00:19:49,473 --> 00:19:51,577
Three tipsy teachers
tearing up the town.

512
00:19:51,601 --> 00:19:53,328
Say that three times fast.

513
00:19:53,352 --> 00:19:55,414
Three tipsy teachers
towning up... Dang it.

514
00:19:55,438 --> 00:19:56,790
Almost.

515
00:19:56,814 --> 00:19:57,542
You and Erika have a good time?

516
00:19:57,566 --> 00:19:59,209
I did. I did.

517
00:19:59,233 --> 00:20:00,919
And let me tell you what,
there is no pre-game

518
00:20:00,943 --> 00:20:02,587
like closing out your old
district e-mail account.

519
00:20:04,655 --> 00:20:05,924
By the way, it is so
funny that you thought

520
00:20:05,948 --> 00:20:07,217
Manny and I were on a date.

521
00:20:07,241 --> 00:20:08,427
Yeah, it was hilarious.

522
00:20:08,451 --> 00:20:11,013
So, so funny. Yeah. Yeah.

523
00:20:11,037 --> 00:20:12,973
All right, well, anyway,

524
00:20:12,997 --> 00:20:14,599
I've got to go
clean off my desk.

525
00:20:14,623 --> 00:20:17,311
The old flowers from the
district have wilted.

526
00:20:17,335 --> 00:20:20,939
But, um, could I grab
some from your garden?

527
00:20:20,963 --> 00:20:22,149
Yeah. Please.

528
00:20:22,173 --> 00:20:24,526
Okay. Thanks.

529
00:20:24,550 --> 00:20:27,446
Mm-hmm.

530
00:20:29,930 --> 00:20:31,533
I know. Do you know?

531
00:20:31,557 --> 00:20:33,952
I know.

532
00:20:33,976 --> 00:20:35,394
So, what are you gonna do?

533
00:20:37,355 --> 00:20:38,498
I don't know.

534
00:20:40,191 --> 00:20:42,401
Fix your face. Sorry.

535
00:20:44,862 --> 00:20:46,089
Janine: Morning.

536
00:20:46,113 --> 00:20:47,674
Barbara and Melissa: Morning.

537
00:20:47,698 --> 00:20:49,885
Oh, Gregory. A jade
roller is usually

538
00:20:49,909 --> 00:20:51,428
made out of jade
and is a roller.

539
00:20:51,452 --> 00:20:52,721
Oh, this.

540
00:20:52,745 --> 00:20:54,389
I'm just touching
up my new beard.

541
00:20:54,413 --> 00:20:56,266
Me and Jacob decided to grow
'em out over spring break.

542
00:20:56,290 --> 00:20:57,643
Oh, yes.

543
00:20:57,667 --> 00:20:59,311
Yep. That is a...
That's a beard.

544
00:20:59,335 --> 00:21:01,146
Melissa: If you were in
my second-grade class,

545
00:21:01,170 --> 00:21:02,731
you'd have the
eighth-best beard.

546
00:21:04,465 --> 00:21:06,777
Yeah, Gregory, is
this beard in the room

547
00:21:06,801 --> 00:21:08,320
with us right now?

548
00:21:08,344 --> 00:21:10,489
All right, look, y'all, growing
a beard is not a sprint.

549
00:21:10,513 --> 00:21:11,948
Mm-hmm. It's a marathon.

550
00:21:11,972 --> 00:21:14,409
Yeah, but you can finish
a marathon, sweetheart.

551
00:21:14,433 --> 00:21:17,079
Freeway got the hood
on smash! Oh, no.

552
00:21:17,103 --> 00:21:18,330
Gregory, what the hell?

553
00:21:18,354 --> 00:21:19,998
I thought we were
doing this together.

554
00:21:20,022 --> 00:21:22,066
I forgot.

555
00:21:22,373 --> 00:21:24,434
Delicious.

556
00:21:24,693 --> 00:21:27,405
