Marty, I bought this house with the understanding
that this money was gonna come through.
I'm staring at a mortgage payment and utility bills.
Marty, I am utterly broke, OK?
Please get me my money.
I'm gonna have to resort to methods I don't wanna have to resort to.
Have I found Jesus? No. Son of a bitch is playing hard to get.
Please take me off the list of people to call.
-[sighs] -Slutty top.
Got it at that shop you stole from. Waffle? Toasted 'em myself.
What's this?
[Ginny] Sophomore Sleepover.
Welcome to Pleasantville.
If you've always had a Tempur-Pedic,
the notion of a sleeping bag on a gym floor is charming.
Mm. Ellen's running it. You can give her the money for my ticket.
Excuse me, miss. You have a job.
I start today after school. I don't have any money yet.
-[sighs] How much is it? -Hundred bucks.
To spend the night in a school you already go to?
You moved us to this white, rich-ass town. This is what they do here.
-These people are weird. -Totally weird.
All night in the high school?
-Sounds like a waste of a Saturday. -Mm-hmm.
This Saturday night is the most important night of my entire life!
I don't know what to tell you. You're grounded.
Mom, this is Sophomore Sleepover. This transcends grounding.
Why don't you understand that? I'll die if I don't go!
I'll die if I do go.
I have spent hours and hours working my ass off
researching hot dog vendors, glow stick suppliers.
If anyone gets to die, it's me.
We could all die together. As a family.
None of my friends are going.
You are actually the worst mother ever.
Why can't you be cool like Georgia?
I am pretty cool. Morning, neighbors!
Come in! Join us!
He says run, save yourself.
Oh! [chuckles]
I'm just here to get Ginny's ticket.
See, Mom? Ginny's going.
Would you like some breakfast?
[gasps] Wow, you're such a good mom!
Isn't she a good mom, Max?
Max, I think if you wanna prove
that you deserve to go to Sophomore Sleepover,
there are other ways to go about it than yelling at Ellen.
Yeah, stop yelling at Ellen.
That is some serious Jedi mind shit.
-Marcus, go to school, learn something. -[Marcus] You know I won't.
[Ellen] I wish I could put you in my pocket and take you everywhere.
I just had a thought. Why don't I chaperone the sleepover with you?
That way, you don't have to suffer all alone.
That would be amazing. I love it.
[chuckles] Oh, I'm gonna put Bev on the 2:00 a.m. door shift.
She'll be pissed.
Ooh.
[mouths] Thank you.
OK, so I think… I think that my mom might let me go to Sophomore Sleepover.
Ah, awesome! I don't wanna go without you.
Why do you still think everyone hates you?
Doesn't everyone think everyone hates them?
That's a good point.
And I can't even imagine not going. This is my big chance to flirt with Riley.
Do we have confirmation she's gay?
I don't know, but there's a vibe at rehearsal.
She's such a fine line between thespian and lesbian.
How are we getting booze for tomorrow?
Press, you wanna try that gas station that let you buy a 30 rack?
[Press] I don't want to too often in case he starts carding me.
We need to get stuff.
Can't Jordan get some from his mom's airline kits?
I don't wanna drink nips.
I like 'em. Feel like a giant!
[chuckles]
You guys gonna be one of those boyfriends and girlfriends
who shares everything in a gross way that reminds me I'm gonna die alone?
I mean, not that you're boyfriend and girlfriend,
or that you're gonna be boyfriend and girlfriend 'cause who knows?
We could get bombed by North Korea, and none of this would matter.
OK, I'm going to class.

Mm. Babysitters.com. Got a hot date?
Sophomore Sleepover.
I'm chaperoning, but I need a last-minute sitter.
There should be an app for this.
-Oh! -Hmm.
That's cute. Mm. [chuckles]
-No. No, no, no. -You'll love Austin.
-Yeah. -He's fun. He's easy. Goes to bed early.
You know what I love most about kids?
That I don't have any and don't have to take care of any. Oh!
-It'll be fun. -OK. You know what's fun?
Big Dick Saturdays at Trunks. That's fun.
-Sorry. -Nick!
Nick, I'm desperate.
[Nick] Oh, OK.
-So now you and your top match. -[Georgia] Please?
I already committed. Come on.
Georgia, how do I make this clear to you? OK, um, let's try this.
I don't buy green bananas because I don't like things that aren't ripe.
Children are just people who aren't ripe.
The answer is no.
[tuts, sighs]
[sighs]
So, you are chaperoning the sleepover, huh?
[chuckles] Only if I can find someone to watch Austin. It's…
[Paul] Um…
Well, I'm free.
I could watch him for you.
Really? You would do that?
[Paul] Yeah, I mean, I am a member of the school board,
so I understand how important Sophomore Sleepover is.
Plus, you know, I lawn-bowled with your kids, so we go way back.
-I couldn't ask you. -But you could ask me.
Listen, can't begin to imagine how hard it must be to be a working single mom,
but I hear it takes a village.
So…
You are a lifesaver.
You're sure you don't mind?
Yes, uh… it's… it's not a problem.
OK? Consider it handled.
-I really, really appreciate this. -Don't say another word.
All right.
-Hmm. -"You're a lifesaver."
[school bell rings]
Hey, Max. Uh, what time's rehearsal?
I think 3:00.
Oh my gosh. I love your ring.
-Your hands are super soft. -Thanks! It's my skin.
I'm amped for the dance number today. Fosse is so sexy.
[Max chuckles]
"It's my skin"?
See? Total vibe.
[Gitten] I know Sophomore Sleepover is this weekend,
but we will not be slacking.
Come on. I need walk, walk, pas de bourrée,
arms to the side, up and down,
roll it to the left, pop the booty, pop the booty, face, and face.
It's not hard, OK?
So, you know what? Why don't you do the next one and make it sexy?
I want everybody in the audience hot.
So, like our parents?

What's MANG?
MANG. Like Wang.
And can you just, like, not?
But I love you, and I'm super grateful to be here.
MANG, like mango.
Mom, no.
Maybe Ellen and I should make matching shirts.
Are you trying to embarrass me?
You're the G in MANG, and I'm embarrassing?
Jesus, lighten up.
Just don't talk about any of your ex-husbands or boyfriends, and,
oh my God, do not talk to my friends about their sex lives.
And don't flirt with the students or other parents.
And, please, don't hotbox a classroom.

I didn't realize I was a liability.
Fine. I'll stay out of your way, G.
[MANG squeals, cheers]
[Abby] Oh my God, let's go!
Hi, this is in case Avery… Bye, baby! …comes into contact with any peanuts,
and if you could just make sure that she's having fun. She's a little shy.
She has generalized anxiety disorder and had a lot of fear about tonight.
OK, thank you.
Oh, sorry.
I can't believe that we're responsible for over 200 kids tonight.
You'd think that you'd have to have a license to do that.
Got another EpiPen.
There anything we should be doing or checking or looking for?
Absolutely not. If we look for it, we might find it.
I have one and one goal only tonight, that everybody lives.
-I'm not worried if you're not. -Oh no, I'm very worried.
This is my worst nightmare.
[dance music plays]
OK, this is even better than I could have imagined!
Holy crap. This is carnival on crack.
So, I staked out a spot for us, scoped out the joint,
and came up with a game plan.
-I love a game plan. -Hey, I love a game plan too.
Here's my plan. Let's get weird!

No.

Last year was really rough on him.
-He struggles. -Oh.
Do you ever feel like parenting is just utter guesswork?

Yeah.

What's the weirdest face you can make? Huh?
Can you make a face weirder than this?
-Come on. Show me a silly face. -No!
My mom said it would be just the three of us.
Um... [trills lips, chuckles]
Austin, I'm not…
Whoa… I'm… I'm just here to help your mom out. That's it.
Were you helping her out at lawn bowling too?

Ooh!

I think I'll just stay like this.
What? No! We have to look the same for Insta.
Yeah, don't be a bitch like Abby with her jeans.
-Hello? -I really don't think--
Sorry, are we MANG, or are we MANG?
[Norah] Come on. Pony up.
[Abby] Sit down.
God, we look so cute! [giggles]
[Maxine] Aww. You and Hunter are the cutest.
It's warming the cockles of my cold, dead heart.
[Abby] Oh my God. Samantha's so jealous too.
We kissed in the photo booth, and we're streaking on Snapchat.
I think you're right. I think he does like me.
[Maxine sighs]
-What? Do you not think he does? -No, it's your hair.
Do you want us to help you fix it?
It's fine. I'll be right back.
-[Maxine] Want us to come with you? -[Ginny] No, I got it!
[snickers]
Then, I signed Norah up for the PSAT intensive
even though it means we have to move figure skating to Thursday nights
and flute to the weekends, but that's the sacrifice.
Are you sure we don't need to see if these kids
are sneaking off to drink or go have sex or…
Oh no. If we look for it, we might see it, and we have one goal only tonight.
-Everyone survives. -Yes.
Especially Bev, because I might casually murder her.
-[chuckles] -[phone chimes]
[Ellen] Oh.
Pizza's here. Good.
I just have to take this cashbox to the principal's office.
Let me take that for you.
Thank you.
You know, I went off all caffeine.
I feel so much better now.
It's wine, Bev.
Wine.

It really is the greatest sport. It's strategic. It's noble. It's--

I am riding out this lame sleepover.
It's not lame. It's fun.
Doing the Cupid Shuffle?
Nice hair.
Shut up about my hair.
Why is everyone so obsessed with my hair? Worry about your own hair.
Ooh, I'm tough and alternative and too cool for fun.
[Marcus] Is that your impression of me?
It's all wrong. I'm way more debonair.
I'm too cool for fun.
[chuckles]
Seriously, why aren't you into this? There's a freaking bounce house.
-None of my friends are here. -Or your girlfriend.
No, Padma isn't my girlfriend.
I don't really do girlfriends.
"I don't really do girlfriends."

I'm sure you could hang with Max and us.

No, thanks.

Slip another shrimp on the barbie.
[Abby coughs] OK!
Jordan! Truth or dare?
Truth.
Lame. Continue.
Jordan, where's the kinkiest place you've ever had sex?
Abby! You know the answer to this.
No! I know your answer to this. I wanna know Jordan's answer. Go!
-Don't do it. -I gotta do it. I gotta do it. I have to.
-Brodie's parents' bathtub. -[Norah groans]
While Abby and Max were sleeping in Brodie's parents' bed.
[Abby squeals] Oh my God!
Yes! I knew it!
Sorry, Norah. I knew you were in there. I heard you, you dirty animals.
Seriously?
Bro, poor Marty and Frank. They'll never know.
Jordan, you're up.
I dare you and Brodie to swap full outfits.
[Norah] Ooh!
[Norah squeals]
No. You're not stretching out my new Harbours.
Are you backing down from the dare? The dare doth not be denied.
Abby. Come on. Don't ruin it.
-[Jordan] No pants, no dare. -I'm not taking my jeans off.
-[Abby] OK? -[Jordan] Damn, chill.
Abs? You OK?
No, it's just stupid.
-[Norah] Abby! -[Abby] I'm out!
[dance music plays]
-Hey, Riley! -Hey, Max!
-Um, do you wanna go talk for a minute? -Yeah, sure.
Great.
Hey, what's up?
Hey. [chuckles]
Hey.
Right. OK.
So, basically, I don't think I'm imagining this thing that's going on between us.
I felt like I should just ask you straight out
because I really, really like you.
I think you're, like, stupid talented.
Like, it's stupid, and you've just been electric to work with,
so I felt I'd throw it all out there and see if maybe you were feeling it too?
Um…
[hesitates] Um…
-Max, I-- -Oh my God, no.
Seriously, don't worry about this. I'm probably just drunk or on acid
or having a seizure or something. Seriously, this is no big deal.
OK. [chuckles]
Um… Are we still gonna be good at rehearsal?
Yeah! Definitely.
[sighs]
Look, I'm sorry.
You're awesome, but I'm definitely straight.
I mean, I wish I wasn't because we would be the hottest couple.
Literally, all of the guys' heads would explode.
Yeah, can you imagine?
Uh…
I'm gonna go back to my friends.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll see you around.
[Riley] OK.
[door opens]
Hey, Max!
Hi, you look amazing.
[sobbing]
Max?
Oh…
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to--
Oh, honey. What happened?
I kissed a girl and… she didn't like it.
Oh!
Come on. Come on.
It's like there's this voice in my head telling me everything I'm doing wrong,
and I'm always just feeling really critical of myself
even though I know no one's paying attention.
Does that make sense?
Voices in your head?
Yikes, you should get that looked at.
I don't know.
Yeah, I get it.
Wellsbury sucks.
No, it doesn't.
I'm still figuring it out, but I've lived in a lot of places,
and Wellsbury does not suck.
This is the first place I've lived where it's cool to be smart,
and they want you to succeed.
They want you to fit into a neat, little, predetermined box.
If you don't take seven AP classes, they label you a problem,
put you on Adderall and Klonopin until you join the ski team.
You have a mom and a dad, a nice house,
and the ability to pursue literally any of your interests.
Check your privilege.
If your biggest problem is ski team--
So I don't have any valid problems because I live in Wellsbury?
-I didn't say that. -Yeah, you sorta did.
My, uh…
best friend died last year.
He, uh…
He got cancer.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
It doesn't sound fine.
[Marcus sighs sadly]
Everyone has shit.
Do you wanna talk about it?
Definitely not.
Damn, this got heavy.
Maybe we just need to chill out.
No! Stop!
-What? -[Ginny giggles] No! Don't!
[door opens]
-[Georgia] Come on. Two seconds. -[Maxine] Really, I'm fine.
[Georgia] Yeah, when I'm fine, I sob uncontrollably.
Just… I made such a fool of myself.
You put your heart on the line.
That takes guts.
[runs faucet] Love is a lot of things, Maxine.
Safe isn't one of 'em.
[Maxine chuckles]
Your accent makes everything you say sound so convincing.
Now get out there and have fun. Ignore Riley.
Indifference is the best revenge.
Thanks. Ginny's really lucky to have you.
[door opens]
[door closes]
OK, who's in here?
I was just with M.
I know I'm dealing with some fraction of ANG.
Peach?
That you?
-Hi, Mom. -Hey.
What are you doing hiding in here, weirdo? Why's your hair wet?
How many times have I told you not to let anyone touch your hair?
Almost done? I wanna get outta here.
This whole thing is some next-level rich people shit.
I've never seen anything like it,
but you look like you were enjoying yourself with Hunter. Ow!
[Ginny] Mom!
[Georgia] What? I'm being supportive.
Can we drop it?
Don't be ugly.
Why are you so mean to me today?
Am I that awful? Have I embarrassed you that much?
[sighs] Volunteered to chaperone for you, make sure you have a good time.
Please. You hate that I'm making friends
instead of hanging with you judging everyone.
You're jealous that I get to do this, and you didn't.
-That's what this is about. Am I wrong? -Excuse me?
Whatever, Mom.
[Georgia scoffs]
[man] OK. We're stopping here for lunch before we continue on to Fort Jackson.
That's yours.
No cheese.
One of you is lactose intolerant. Who is it?
[motorcycle engines rev]
-Thank you. -No problem.
What is all this?
Uh, a summer history thing.
Next stop on the tour of old dead guys who did racist shit is Fort Jackson.
Wellsbury High?
Oh yeah. It's in Massachusetts.
It was either this summer history tour or summer camp.
Juniors got the option to go to Prague, which is awesome,
but, uh, sophomores stay local.
Where's Prague?
Uh… It's… it's in Europe.
Y'all from there? Wellsbury, Massachusetts?
Yeah.
Shit.
-Don't cry over spilled condiments. -I'll cry if I damn want to.
I'm Joe, by the way.
Hi, Joe. I'm Georgia.
Georgia living in Georgia.
What?
Nothing. No, not confusing at all.
You guys, like, real rich or something?
Not really. Just normal.
These Ray-Bans?
Ah… I don't really care about all that stuff.
But seriously, I like animals more than humans.
I wanna have a farm with horses and everything.
-Always wanted to ride a horse. -[Joe] Oh yeah?
Yeah, it's real stupid, but when I was a little girl,
I imagined I had this horse named Milkshake.
Milkshake?
Hey! It's my imaginary horse.
Sorry, go on.
And Milkshake would follow me around, visible to everyone but me, and…
whenever I needed to get away, I'd just hop on her, and we'd fly.
-Milkshake could fly. -Of course.
[motorcycle engines revving]
[man] OK, let's get back on the bus. Next stop, Fort Jackson.
I gotta go.
Oh…
You can keep 'em.
Bye, Georgia.
I'll look you up if I'm ever in Wellsbury.
Yeah, OK.
Do you wanna go to Prague, little baby?
[indistinct chattering in background]
[Joe] Georgia?
Georgia?
Hello, Georgia?
Could use a little help here.
These hormonal monsters are insatiable.
How about a little less snacking, a little more helping?

Rejection sucks. Like, it really, really sucks.
I feel like she just took out my heart, did a little jig on it, sumo wrestled it,
taught it how to Dougie and shoved it back into my chest, you know?
I'm really sorry.
That didn't totally suck.
Are you kidding? That was lit.
Best night ever!
Yeah! The best. [chuckles]
Is that a burrito?
Yeah, I'll take it.
[slurring] …touch me like that.
Whoa! Abby, are you OK?
Is she drunk?
That was for you.
-She needed it more. -[Hunter chuckles]
I had a good time tonight. I think you're awesome.
Uh, yeah, me too.
I mean you, not me.
[both chuckle]
Cool,
'cause I wanted to ask you something.
You're smart and…
obviously beautiful.
[both chuckle]
[Hunter] And…
I was wondering if you wanna maybe be my girlfriend?
You wanna be my boyfriend?
[babbles incoherently]
[Ginny chuckles]
[Ginny] Uh…
Yeah, that sounds cool.
[Hunter] Oh man.
OK.
[chuckles]
-Awesome. -OK.
Ginny seems to be fitting in. You must be happy.
Oh yeah. I'm tickled pink.
-Oh shit! -[Joe] OK, all right.
Don't cry over spilled condiments.
I'll cry if I damn want to.
OK.
[woman 1] This was wonderful. Georgia, right?
-Yeah. -[woman 1] Amazing job.
My pleasure. Y'all take care.
Halle-freaking-lujah. Everybody survived.
I'm emotionally scarred and will never recover, but I'm glad they had fun.
Yeah.
[woman 2] Thank you so much. She had such a great time!
Of course.
Well, congratulations, Georgia.
You're a Wellsbury mom now.
Ginny, Max.
Thanks, Joe.
Yeah.
[Ginny] I don't buy that my mom doesn't believe in having big dreams.
I think she has the biggest dreams of all.
I know how badly she wanted this for me,
this life she never got to have,
the chance at a bright future,
great friends,
the right boyfriend,
a problem-free place.
[school bell rings]
[Gitten] Teach high school, they said.
It'll be fine.
She's gonna make it a whole thing.
Hey, Max! I was thinking we should start posting photos of us in character
to get people excited for the play, OK?
Aww, cute! See you in rehearsal.
[groans loudly] God, what is wrong with me?
Hey!
Max, right?
Sorry.
I didn't think anyone would be in here.
Yeah, I come here to study sometimes. It's quieter than blue.
-Yeah, sometimes I come here to cry. So… -[both chuckle]
It's very funny.
What's wrong?
[clicks tongue]
[sighs] I kissed this girl who's been sending me, like, super mixed messages
only to find out she's not gay, which sucks, and I'll never find love.
What's more messed up is she's acting like nothing happened,
which is worse, because something definitely did happen.
So I feel insane. So it sucked.
But… I don't know,
bouncy house was kinda fun.
[Maxine sighs]
Hey, it's her loss.
You're hot.
Maybe next time, you just need to kiss someone
that wants to kiss you back.
[chuckles lightly]
[folk pop music plays]
[Maxine] Oh my God. We're going.
Gin Gin. Whoa. Dying. I'm deceased.
Samantha is crying in chem now. Please be crying.
[Norah] Ginny, you're so photogenic.
I know.
Aren't we so cute?
