[Hunter laughs]
[Ginny] I don't elicit the same reaction my mom does.
-Padma, that was tight! -[chuckling] Thanks.
-What did you think? -Yeah, it was fine.
OK, well, I gotta go. I told Marcus I'd pick him up.
-[Brodie] Later. -[Padma] Bye.
Yeah, see ya.
-Padma's great. Her voice adds to 3SB. -[Brodie] Hell yeah!
I didn't realize how much you guys sucked when you had Jordan.
That blows his mom made him quit 3SB.
Whatever. It's an upgrade. Padma's crazy hot.
-She is? -Super hot.
With Padma, we might actually win Battle of the Bands this year.
-Dude, we gotta pick our song. -I know.
It has to be "Child's Play."
[Hunter] Padma's range on "Adderall Brains" is killer.
"Adderall Brains" is the worst song name in the history of song names.
It sounds like Billie Eilish.
I like Billie Eilish.
Of course you do. That makes complete sense to me.
-[chuckles] -You're a little bitch.
Die, sucker, die.
Press, I think you're the last person in the world
who should encourage their own violent tendencies.
Hunter said you used to throw rocks at squirrels at recess?
-[chuckles] -[Press] All right.
New girl's got teeth. Watch out for them later, Hunt.
-[Brodie snickers] -Press. Not cool, bro.
[Brodie sighs]
[Brodie] I need snacks.
Hey, do you think, uh, Marnie still has those Hebrew Natties?
[Press] Uh…
[Press] We got apples…
Why are you friends with Press? He's such a douche.
Press stuck it out with me when I was on Adderall,
and I was, like, a total zombie for three years…
[sighs] …which is why we should start with "Adderall Brains."
It has… It has a message.
Sorry.
[sighs] I'm sorry. We've been talking about this all night.
It's OK. I know Battle of the Bands is important to you.
[chuckles] Yeah, it is, but…
so are you.
-Oh yeah? -[Hunter] Yeah.
I got this for you.
Pride and Prejudice.
You picked it for a free read in Gitten's class.
-Yeah, but I already own it. -That's my sister's copy.
She took an Austen course last semester at Tufts.
It's all noted up. I thought you could take a look at it for inspiration.
Thanks.
I really liked it. I dig Austen's writing. It's very tongue-in-cheek
with the way she takes a wink at the audience with her characters.
Yeah. Jane's a crafty bitch.

[Paul] Hello, everyone, and welcome to our fundraiser committee meeting.
Now, the school year is upon us… [chuckles]
…which can only mean one thing,
the annual back-to-school fundraiser for Bankler Elementary.
We will be holding our fifth annual bake sale.
Cynthia?
I'm so excited. [chuckles]
The annual back-to-school bake sale is one of my very favorite events,
and as a member of the Neighborhood Club, I am thrilled to offer it
to the school board as a venue.
-Wow. Thank you. -[crowd murmuring]
[Cynthia] My pleasure, really. So I was thinking…
What's the whoop-de-whatever about the Neighborhood Club?
Well, you know the Soho House in LA, New York, London?
-No. -Right. I forget you're Elly May Clampett.
It's one of the most exclusive clubs in Massachusetts.
-[Cynthia] …using all-natural ingredients… -Why?
[clicks tongue] Well, it was founded in 1890 as a tennis club
and a place for members to gather for social events.
There's an interview process, a yearly fee, a vote… It's a whole thing.
-But why? -For tennis and social events.
-Oh, OK. -And I will be making my vegan cheesecake.
[woman] Ooh!
I don't want fighting over it this year.
-[laughter] -Last year we raised 5K.
5K with cakes and pies!
Let's do even better this year.
Yes. Let's.
Georgia, did you have a question?
Sit down, Elly May.
What if we do a casino night?
You can raise serious money with poker.
Well, it's, um, an interesting suggestion,
but, um, the bake sale really is a town favorite.
Oh! Um…
Yes, I am going to have to agree with Cynthia on this one.
The bake sale has become a true highlight of the year for Wellsbury,
and I didn't forget about your vegan cheesecake. [chuckles]
OK, so, that's settled.
Let's take five and then come back and talk strategy and logistics, OK?
[indistinct chattering in background]
[Georgia sighs]
Oh, hey. Don't take it personally about Casino Night.
It wasn't a bad idea, per se--
I didn't take it personally.

Georgia! A minute, please?
[Georgia] Yeah.
[woman] I'll handle it.
[Paul] Georgia, you know Erica from HR.
Hello.
This is an informational conversation.
Paul, can you tell Georgia your concerns?
When I was babysitting Austin,
I saw several credit cards
in his name.
This isn't an accusation. We wanted to have a conversation.
[clicks tongue]
Austin's father, Gil,
is currently in jail.
[clicks tongue]
I'm sorry.
[breathes shakily] This is emotional for me.
He embezzled from his company.
We moved to Wellsbury for a fresh start,
but more heartbreak followed
when I found out that Gil used Austin's social security number
to open multiple credit cards.
He stole from his nine-year-old son.
What kind of a monster does that?
[Georgia sniffles]
[sighs] I'm mortified, but if you wanna look at my bank statements--
-No. -That's not necessary.
Um…
But this is clearly a personal matter and will be confidential.
If you need any help, I'm here.
[Paul] Thank you, Erica.
Georgia, I am so, so sorry that you had to go through that. I had no idea.
I trusted you in my house with my kid.
You shoulda asked me before you brought in HR.
I know. I know. You're right. I should have.
I'm just under a lot of pressure right now. I need you to understand that.
Look, I wanna be governor by the time I'm 40.
And in order for that to happen, I have to get reelected. But… [sighs]
…that's an excuse, and I hate excuses.
So I am so sorry.
-I should've told you first. -Yeah, you should've.
I love this job, but if you don't think I'm an asset, just say, and I'm gone.
No. Of course I think you're an asset. Your contributions have been invaluable.
Do you mean that?
Yes! You have great ideas.
Great ideas like Casino Night?
Wow.
OK. That was good. I see what you did there.
I get that the bake sale is tradition, but it comes down to the money.
We stand to raise much more money for the school
with a big, flashy event like Casino Night.
No, it comes down to manpower.
Have you ever thrown an event of this magnitude?
It is a massive undertaking.
-I just did Sophomore Sleepover. -Uh-huh.
Come on. It's a power move. What would the governor do?
Paul, don't make me give you the lemon speech again.
[footsteps approaching]
[knocking on door]
I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
I just wanted to go through the bake sale prep with you.
Yes. No, Cynthia, I'm glad you're here.
We were just having a discussion about that,
and I have made an executive decision on the matter.
This year we will be doing Casino Night instead of a bake sale.
-I don't understand. -It comes down to money, Cynthia.
And we stand to make much more with a casino night.
[Georgia] Hmm.
I hope your offer to host the event at the Neighborhood Club still is good,
though, because I know all you want is what's best for the kids.
[chuckles softly]
Great.
Thank you so much, ladies.
Don't take it personally, Cynthia.
[sassy music plays]
[Georgia tuts, sighs]
It's the cottontails.
We're at the end of breeding season. You should probably put up a fence.
Hey, you're not selling your house, are you?
Selling?
I just bought it.
There was this guy in the neighborhood the other day.
Was he tall, black, muscular?
No. But who's that? [chuckles]
No, this was just a guy interested in the house.
-Said he was a potential buyer. -What'd he look like?
Oh, he was incredibly handsome.
That's really weird. He said he was gonna come over and talk to you.
Huh.
Uh, is Ginny still at yours?
Yeah. Max invited the girls over.
MANG.
Sounds like a ripe vagina.
Mm. It's disgusting. It's the grossest word ever.
I just don't have the heart to tell them. [sighs]
-They're so cute and innocent. -[chuckles]
I could hear their giggles down to the kitchen.
-Aww! -[chuckles]
[giggling]
[woman on laptop] Oh, yeah!
OK, OK, OK! Please turn it down. Turn it down.
-Turn it down! -OK.
[giggles] Oh my God.
Nothing's happening. I mean, a lot's happening, but there's no plot.
It's so slimy! Like, why are they so wet?
That's not an attractive pose. She's just splayed.
She has a really nice body though.
This was definitely written and directed by men.
Oh yeah! And there's, like, no foreplay whatsoever.
It's just like… [grunts]
Oh God. Is sex really that fast?
-If you hate orgasms, yeah. -Oh, Norah! Slut!
OK, you know what? Jordan and I waited two years before we had sex.
I'm kidding. You know how sex-positive I am.
-I'm positive I wanna have sex. -Wait. Norah, you have orgasms?
-Yeah, but not from penis penetration. -Penis penetra… [retches]
Uh, excuse me, I'm the gay one. Penis penetration. [retches]
-This conversation's giving me hives. -Really? It's kinda turning me on.
-How does it happen, then? -He makes her call him Daddy!
No. He usually goes down on me.
-[Maxine] Man, Jordan's such a good guy. -Yeah.
Wow.
Kinda sounds like Hunter isn't doing any of this.
[sighs] We've kissed, like, three times.
No tongue. That's it.
Seriously? You guys have been dating for a few weeks.
-It's weird, right? -He hasn't even grabbed a boob?
He hasn't even grabbed a boob.
-Thanks. -Here for you.
-Maybe he's not attracted to me. -Probably.
What? No! You're totally gorgeous.
So, are you masturbating furiously waiting for him to make a move?
Masturbating is so gross.
-Yeah, I don't get it. -[chuckles] Me neither.
[woman moaning on laptop] Yeah!
-[moaning intensifies] -Oh!
Oh!
That's a fun new orifice.
[porn playing in distance]
[woman moaning loudly]
[Ginny] See? This is the problem with porn.
It gives guys a messed-up view of sex and never prioritizes female pleasure.
That's why guys never have any idea what they're doing.
[woman moaning furiously on laptop]
-[phone chimes] -[Norah] Oh.
-It's Brodie. -Brodie. Why is Brodie texting you?
He wants to know if we're going to Battle of the Bands.
-It's all they talked about last night. -Oh, I'm so excited about that.
Sophie's definitely gonna be there. Her rock god friend Scott's performing.
-He won last year. -Sorry. I'm confused.
Why were you with Brodie last night?
They wanted to keep it small.
-They were rehearsing. -Oh! [clicks tongue]
Hey, Norah, now that Jordan's out of 3SB, it looks like Ginny took your spot.
Who's Padma, anyway? She a good singer?
Yeah. She's good. Hunter thinks she's killer.
[Abby] Hmm. Interesting.

Lydia Bennet is described in the book
as "untamed, unabashed, wild, noisy, and fearless."
My free read project
is Internalized Sexism: Why We Don't Like Lydia Bennet.
The unsung feminist of the book is Lydia.
She's more an agent of free will than even Elizabeth
because she bucks society's rules and acts of her own agency.
So, why do we judge her so harshly?
Because she's a slut.
[students snickering]
Yes, Brian. Tell us more about the views of feminism you've formed
while jerking off to Gal Gadot.
[students chuckling]
But you can't deny Lydia's actions were rash and ill-advised.
Stop shaming her.
Stop…
shaming Lydia Bennet?
OK! Ginny convinced me.
Lydia Bennet is hundo a feminist.
She almost took her whole family down. It was immature.
Women get a million different messages on how they're supposed to be.
-It's confusing. -You need to calm down. You're aggressive.
[woman over PA] Ginny Miller, please come to the office.
Really, Mom? Taking me to the gyno? Putting me on the pill?
Did you need to do that in the middle of a school day?
Sure did. You have a boyfriend you're sending topless photos to.
Mom. Oh my God.
Which tells me two things.
One, you make stupid decisions when it comes to men,
and two, you're gonna have sex soon.
Don't I get to decide if I go on birth control?
-[Georgia] Sure don't. -You're such a bad feminist.
Yeah, that's me. Back to the kitchen. She was askin' for it.
Tramp, whore, nag, bitch. Get in the house, please.
Hunter and I aren't having sex because I'm disgusting.
What?
How do you do it?
How do you always know what to say,
and what to wear, and how to do the cleavage thing?
The cleavage thing?
[chuckles] You mean, have cleavage?
In case you haven't noticed,
I'm 30 and single with two kids from two different guys.
Does that look like the ideal, picture-perfect picket fence to you?
You think I know what I'm doin'? Nobody knows what they're doin'.
You are not disgusting.
You are…

It's art. She wore leggings yesterday, and I died.
I'm dead! I'm deceased.
Just cremate me and put me on the mantle. We've been texting.
She actually cares about things, like the planet and other people.
She's been teaching her sister to bake. Isn't that so cute?
-Max, you're not meant to be back there. -How are you and Hunter?
Ugh! He still hasn't said anything about the picture. It's weird.
I don't think I'm good at the sexy thing. That's Georgia's expertise, not mine.
Yeah, Georgia is insanely hot. [chuckles]
Sorry. Not sorry. [giggles]
-OK, I wanna talk more about Sophie now. -[sighs]
I wanna talk about Sophie 100% of the time. 100% of the time.
When you think about it that way, I showed great restraint.
[Ginny] I got two Mexi-Melts, one regular, one with sweet potato,
and two turkey burgers, one gluten-free bun.
Oh! [chuckles]
Sorry. This is the gluten-free bun.
Max, you realize you don't actually work here, right?
Obviously, but table six needs their check,
and table eight wants wings before happy hour's over. [chuckles]
Sophie. Two years ago.
She is my Venezuelan fantasy woodland princess.
-Max, you can't be back here. -Bali does not look real.
I know, right? But David Bowie had his ashes spread there, so it is.
You guys know David Bowie?
Duh! From Shrek.
From Shrek.
-Shit. -What?
Is it the picture of her and that girl kissing from 2018?
Don't worry about it. I looked into it.
Their Venmo payments stopped months ago, so it's fine.
I liked it.
-What? -[Ginny] Shit.
I can… I'll undo it.
No, Ginny. Oh my God. Too late. Notifications.
[gasps] I just liked a photo from two years ago. Oh my God.
I can't go to Battle of the Bands. She's gonna think I'm a stalker.
-[Joe] Table three's ready to order! -Table three's gonna have to wait, Joe!
Look, Max. Maybe… Maybe it's a good thing, right?
I mean, honesty's good.
-She's gonna know I like her. -You text all the time.
-Doesn't she already know? -No!
We don't talk about how hard she makes my nipples!
We talk about her dumb sister Sasha. Oh my God.
-I know. I'm sorry. I know. -[Maxine fake sobs]
Farm-fresh salad…
please.

Hey, creep. Good to see you.

Oh, do you know Scott?
Oh…
No.
Oh, so you're actually a stalker.
Yeah, but in, like, a cute way?
Yeah. In a very cute way.

Hey, uh, can we talk?
I feel like you're maybe mad at me.
You didn't say anything after the photo.
I feel like you don't really like me.
What?
-Are you kidding? -[Padma] Hey!
Hunter, let's go. We're on next.

It's a high honor for one kid only.
Bidding starts at…

This just in! We have another principal for the day.
We can have two winners.
Sold at ten grand each. Congratulations, ladies.
-OK. -[scattered whooping]
Ladies and gentlemen, we still have one item left up on the docket,
and that is Cynthia Fuller's famous cheesecake.
Oh.
[Cynthia chuckles]
You know what?
I know how hard my friend Cynthia worked on this.
I'm not leavin' here without it. I bid 100 bucks.
Good night, everyone, and thank you for a legendary event.
[crowd murmurs indistinctly]
Principal for the day? Inspired.
[Georgia chuckles]
In ten minutes, we quadrupled what we did last year.
You continue to surprise me, Georgia.
A woman ill-prepared is set up for failure.
[chuckles softly]
[clicks tongue]
What?
-What? -Uh… [chuckles]
-[man] Mr. Mayor, can I borrow you? -[Paul] Of course, yes.
-I'm sorry. Duty calls. -[Georgia] Hmm.
-Congratulations! -[Georgia giggles]
-Did that guy talk to you? -What guy?
The guy who was interested in your house. He was here tonight.
-[woman] Ellen Baker? -[Ellen] Oh, hi!
How are you?
I love your dress!
[microphone feedback]
So, I'm not normally the one who sings the songs. [chuckles]
I leave that up to the very talented Padma.
[man in crowd] Yeah, Padma.
[Hunter] But tonight I'm making an exception.
Something happened to me recently,
or rather…
someone happened.
Ginny, something's happening.
[Hunter] Ginny Miller…
this song's for you.
This is the most romantic thing that's happened to me.

I loved the song.
I read all of Pride and Prejudice just so we could talk about it.
I'm, like, really behind on my homework. That, mixed with the song, and--
I feel like an idiot.
About the picture,
I just wanted you to know that I respected you. [chuckles]
OK, but I put myself out there, and I just felt judged.
Shit. I didn't think of it like that.
I'm sorry.
I just want you to think that I'm hot.
Believe me,
I think you're hot.

[tense music plays]
[sighs]
[clicks tongue] You've gotta be shittin' me.
[Ginny] I used to think my mom was an expert at men,
but now I think she might not know how to love.
The only man I've ever seen her truly love is my dad, and that never ends well.
You can't fall in love if you always have your guard up.
-[Hunter] Lydia is a trope of frivolity. -[Ginny] That's where you're wrong.
She didn't know Wickham was a dick clown. She thought she was marrying for love.
That was totally feminist for the time.
At least we can agree, Wickham is a dick clown. [chuckles]

I'd love to.
OK. Great.
I do have to talk to Erica. There's a code of conduct form.
