- Hello people.
It's me, Jeremy again.
Today, I want to talk about fight or flight.
Now, when you hear fight or flight,
you're usually thinking about a threatening
situation where you have two options,
fight or flight.
Now, if you choose fight,
you're considered brave,
and courageous,
and bold.
But if you choose flight,
you're weak,
and soft,
and a coward.
Why is that?
Because isn't fight or flight
supposed to achieve the same goal?
To live?
And why do we worry so much about what other people think.
In high school, it's tough enough
without everyone judging you.
I guess all I want in life is to--
- [Miranda] Jeremy, dinner's ready!
- Coming mom!
You know what?
Forget it, alright?
(upbeat music)
I just want people to mind their own business
and just live the life that they wanna live.
You know, and I hope that one day
I'll be able to live a life I'm happy to live with.
To live out my own dreams.
Peace out, people.

- Hey Tiff!
- [Tiffany] Morning Jeremy.
- Hey!
Whoa, what's up with you today?
You seem happy?
- Well, it's my birthday in two days,
and I'm really excited to be 18.
- Okay, so is that why you're doing
a lot of selfies and posting?
- You know it.
- I'm excited for you, babe.
- Thank you!
All right, I have to go before Ms. Morris has a fit.
I think she just hates that
I look prettier than her in pink.
- Well, you look prettier in just about anything.
- [Tiffany] Stop. (giggles quickly)
- Boo!
- What the hell, Jules!
You scared me.
- I still can't believe you love Tiffany.
She's a fake, Jeremy.
When are you gonna realize that?
- Look, I know that you like Tiffany,
but she isn't gay, okay?
So you can just stop that.
- Yeah, me?
Like Tiffany?
- Yeah. - Yeah, in your dreams.
I think Alexis is better than her anyway.
- Wait, since when did you and Alexis,
you know, become a thing?
- It's been a few weeks now.
- Good luck.
But I don't need your advice, okay?
Just stay outta my business and I'll stay outta yours.
I got this.
- Hey Jeremy, look at me.
(giggles quickly)
- Jules, I told you to stop doing that.
- Sorry, I can't help it.
Your cheeks, they're kinda like a magnet for my hand,
plus I love doing it way too much.
- Go away, Jules.
- (sighs quickly) Fine.
But just remember I told you so.
- Hi.
- Oh!
Hi, Dr. Vasan.
I know, I know,
No cell phones, I'm putting it away right now.
- Wait a minute.
So how are you and your mom doing since everything?
- Oh, my mom's good,
I'm good, we are good.
We don't need him.
I'm gonna get to class, can't be tardy.
(Dr Vasan sighing quickly)
(emotional music)
- So Tiff, um,
you're going to homecoming with me, right?
- Hey!
Yeah, of course.
- Okay, so you can come by and have dinner
with me and my family tonight?
- Tonight?
I can't 'cause my brother's getting back from India,
so, rain check?
- Yeah, sure.
Next time.
- Yeah, next time.
- [Young Girl] Hey Tiff.
- Hey, call me later okay?
- So how about next week?
- Yeah,
let me get back to you on that, okay?
Hey!
I love you.
- Love you too.
- Oh hey, this is my ride.
We can do dinner, but you know what I'd really love?
- What's that?
- Sundae Shakes.
I love their cheesy fries.
- You got it!

(rap music over radio)
- [Driver] Say Miss, you model?
- Me?
Not really, but maybe one day.
- [Driver] Could have fooled me.
You might as well be one now.
- Why?
- [Driver] Have you seen yourself?
You're gorgeous.
- Thank you.
- Hey, wait.
A face like yours should be on billboards downtown.
I got a friend who runs an agency.
Would you be interested?
I could connect you two.
- An agency, like a modeling agency?
- Yeah, so what do you say?
- Um, I don't,
(laughs quickly) I don't know.
I'll have to think about it.
- Okay, look,
I only refer girls to him if I think they have something.
When I see you, I see something.
You could be a big star.
All you gotta do is just send him an email.
This could be your big break.
- Okay. (giggles quickly)
- Look, just email him,
tell him Richard sent you.
You could make some money out of it.
- Okay, thanks.
(upbeat music)
(pop music on radio)
- Boo!
(Miranda yells quickly)
- Boy, stop sneaking up on me like that.
Where have you been?
- Just hanging out with Tiffany?
- Oh, Tiffany.
How is she doing?
I seen some of her little selfies.
Is she keeping warm?
- (laughs quickly) Yes, mom.
She is!
You know, she just trying to be a model.
- Hmm, oh.
So I made some of your favorite, honey garlic chicken.
- [Jeremy] For real?
- Uh-huh, your dad will be home soon,
so clean your room and get started on that homework,
all right?
- All right.
(Miranda giggling quickly)
(pop music)
So how was work?
- Stressful.
But I will tell you what?
I sure am looking forward to our little vacation coming up.
- Me too!
- Ew, guys.
Ugh.
Stop.
- So son, how's school?
- It's fine, dad.
- You're going to homecoming, right?
- Yeah, with Tiffany.
- Tiffany?
Son, how many times do I gotta tell you?
You gotta watch out for girls like that!
- George.
Jeremy likes her, let it go.
- Baby, I'm just trying to protect the boy.
I don't wanna see him get hurt.
Sooner or later, she's going to leave him.
- Dad, you don't know that.
- Jeremy, eat your food.
George, leave him alone.
- Tiffany's not gonna leave me.
- All right, all right.
(tense music)
(door knocking loudly)
- Hey. - What do you want, Ethan?
- Thing is, help me out?
- What did I tell you about turning
up on my doorstep this late?
- You said to call, but I'm sorry,
I just figured you'd be good for it, if you don't mind.
- But I do mind.
- Please Hunter, come on.
Just a little.
I'll be out the door.
- Come on in.
(R'n'B Music)
I've been seeing your girl post a lot of selfies.
- What?
- Your girl.
She's been posting a lot of selfies.
- She's not my girl.
- For real?
What happened between you two?
I'm not gonna tell you again.
You better call next time.
- Yeah, sorry.
(eerie music)
(emotional music)
- Jeremy, Tiffany's fighting with Ethan!
- What?
(dramatic music)
- One more word about Jeremy and you're dead, Ethan.
- Who, that nerdy Black kid?
Tiff, he's a coward.
- What is your problem with him anyway?
It's not like he ever did anything to you.
- He didn't do anything to me?
He stole you away from me!
- We were over before we even started, Ethan.
Jeremy, come show Ethan that you're not afraid of him.
You know, you might look tough,
but you're pathetic.
Jeremy and I are together.
You're just gonna have to deal with it.
Besides, you're too self-centered to even care about me.
- What are you looking at?
If you've got any balls,
then step out from behind your girlfriend.
What's up?
(tense music)
- [Tiffany] (yells) Jeremy?
- See?
What a coward.
(Tiffany grunting angrily)
- All right, all right.
What's going on here?
You all need to get to class.
- (yells) Leave!
- Get to your classes.
(dramatic music)
- Come with me.
Ethan, what happened?
- Nothing.
- Coach Fields said you are not playing football this year.
Why not?
- I don't feel like playing.
- How are you and your father doing?
Ethan.
Sometimes the pain we feel leads us
to make destructive decisions.
- We done?
- Ethan.
There are some people who care about you.
My door is always open.
You can come here anytime if you need to talk.
- Nobody cares about me.
(emotional music)
- So Jeremy, what are you going to do?
- Huh?
- What are you going to do?
- I was gonna go to class.
I mean, I don't,
you know, hang out in the hallways--
- This is your senior year.
You are coming to in this year
with 4.2 GPA and a great attendance.
- Oh, I really don't know what I'm gonna do.
I'm sorry, is this about what happened earlier?
- Jeremy.
You are among the few students who have
a perfect grade point average in this school.
It says a lot.
Do you know what that means?
- I don't know, that I do a lot of homework?
- Valedictorian.
Not only that, it means you need to be a leader,
not be a follower.
- Not a leader, just a regular guy.
Got a great GPA,
and I can't even stand up for myself.
- Being a leader is not about fighting, but strength.
It's about you being an influence
and not being influenced by others.
You have to guide your peers and not to be led by the crowd.
You understand?
Go and think about it.
Now you can go to your class.
- About Ethan, okay,
I didn't think he was gonna come at me like that and--
- Enjoy the rest of your day.

- [Jules] Hey!
- Hey.
- Look at me, Jeremy.
What happened?
- I just hate fights.
- I know that, but Tiffany's pissed.
She feels like you embarrassed her.
- No, but I can't fight Ethan.
- [Jules] You know he's not gonna let this go.
- Yeah, I know.
- And Tiffany, what are you gonna do about that?
- Just gonna have to apologize to her, I guess.
- Okay, but not a plain apology,
a cute, sweet,
romantic apology?
- I don't know if I can do that, Jules,
but I'll try!
- (imitating Yoda) Do or do not, there is no trying.
(giggling quickly)
- Thanks Jules.
- Nah, keep your thank you's.
Just have your mom make me some of her honey garlic chicken.
- (laughs quickly) Done.
- But seriously, you can't let people punk you like that.
- Okay, I know,
alright?
I know!
- Well, at least you know.
Anyway, I gotta get home and do some studying.
I have a test tomorrow in history
and would hate to get an F.
See you!
- Hey Jules, wait.
Thanks.
- Jeremy, you know I didn't do hugs.
- Ah, whatever.
- Bye. - Bye!
(lofi music)
(phone pinging loudly)
Hey Tiff.
- Jeremy, stop!
- Sorry about what happened earlier, okay?
I just couldn't--
- What couldn't you do, Jeremy?
Fight for me?
Show Ethan that you weren't a coward?
'Cause yeah, you couldn't do that.
- [Jeremy] Look, it's not like that.
- I don't want to hear another word, Jeremy.
I thought you were special,
different from other guys,
and I guess you are,
just not in the way I thought you would be.
- Tiffany.
I know, okay?
And I'm not even too proud about what happened either.
Alright?
But just understand that sometimes I can--
- There's nothing to understand, Jeremy.
No, you're a coward.
You can't fight for me,
and you can't even fight for yourself,
and I'm done.
- Tiffany wait, okay?
- I wish it didn't have to come to this,
but today you proved to me that I need a man,
and you're still a little boy.
Even Ethan was willing to fight for me.
- Tiffany, just hear me out--
- [Tiffany] Goodbye Jeremy.
- Tiffany wait, let me just say--
- (yells loudly) No Jeremy, I'm done!

(lofi pop music)
You think I should do this?
(dog whining quickly)
(lofi pop music)
- Where were you?
- I was at a friend's house.
- Come inside.
What did I tell you about coming in this house drunk?
- I'm sorry dad, I wouldn't have come home.
I didn't know you were home.
- No, no, no.
Sorry is not gonna cut it tonight.
- Please, just...
(Tim grunting loudly)
You know the rules, boy.
- [Ethan] Dad, please!
- You need to understand the value of hard work, Ethan.
No more drinking and partying!
(Ethan grunting loudly)
- (yells) Dad, dad, please, please.
I won't drink again!
Please--
- How dare you raise your voice at me, shut up.
I thought I would give you a chance,
but you know what?
You are the biggest disappointment in my life.
You're grounded for a month.
I want you to come straight home from school.
You understand what I'm saying?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
- Yes, sir.
- I work hard, and all he does is drink and have fun.
(video game gun shooting loudly)
(door knocking loudly)
Who the hell is that?
Caitlin!
- Hi!
- Hey, what are you doing here?
- Actually, I brought you some
leftover apple pie from the get together.
I thought you and your son would like some.
- Yes, thank you.
That's very thoughtful of you.
- You're welcome.
- Would you like to come inside and have a glass of wine or?
- That is so sweet of you,
but I think I must pass.
I have already had too much tonight.
So.
- Come on.
Please?
Come on, just a glass,
or half a glass!
- All right, okay.
Half a glass can't hurt, so.
- Can't hurt!
(blues music)
- Hm, delicious.
- Thank you.
Yeah, my sister got it for me in France.
- That's amazing.
- You know, I could get you a bottle.
- Really?
I would love to share this with my husband.
Thank you, Tim.
- No problem.
- I should probably leave now.
Ah, it's getting late.
- Okay.
- Thank you. - Sure.
- So I will see you later then?
- Sure, you know where I live.
- Yes, thank you Tim.
- Don't mention it.
- Yeah.
What if I stop by again tomorrow night around this time?
My husband's in Canada for business, so.
- Yes!
Yes, that would be great.
- All right, well it's a date.
- It's a date.
- Okay, bye.
(comical music)
- Boo!
- Jules, I told you to stop doing that.
- Sorry, I can't help it.
Anyway, how are you doing?
- I just feel...
- Empty?
- Yeah.
- Hey, think positive.
One, because I hate negative people,
and two, because thinking negatively won't do you any good.
Look, Jeremy.
I get it.
I won't even tell you to forget about Tiffany or anything.
I just know you'll find someone better than her.
You know she's not the only fish in the pond.
- Jules, it's fish in the sea.
- Yeah, same thing.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Did you hear about Ethan?
- No, what happened?
- I heard he went to a party
the other night and came home late,
and his dad got pissed and beat the hell out of him.
- Really? - Uh-huh.
Nelson said he was with this guy, Hunter.
We've heard of him, haven't you?
- Yeah, I read about him in a couple
of newspapers like that before.
- Newspapers?
Seriously Jeremy, what century are you living in?
- Hey, quiet!
- Whatever.
Now Ethan didn't come to school today
and Nelson's too scared to go to his house and check on him.
- Man, I'm pretty sure Ethan would be okay.
I just hope he doesn't come back until after graduation.
- You know, I still feel bad for him.
Okay sure, he's a bully,
but what his dad did still isn't right.
- Forget about Ethan, okay?
Look, I need you right now.
All right?
And you're the only one that I can talk to.
- You're just mad that Ethan punked you, that's it.
But you know, I may have to agree
with Tiffany a little bit on this one.
- Jules, not you too.
- No, like,
believe it or not, she's right.
You are a bit of a coward.
- Bye Jules.
- No, look.
Can you just step it up and be brave?
Be that night in shining armor for Tiffany.
If not Tiffany, then for someone else.
The point is sometimes you need
to put up your fists and fight.
You know me.
No matter what, I'll always be here for you.
But Jeremy, you need to stop being so scared.
- Scared?
Don't you tell me about being scared.
You're the one that's scared to tell your parents
about what the piano teacher did.
- Can you two keep it quiet, please.
- Jules, look.
I'm sorry!
Way to go, Jeremy.
(emotional music)
- Ms Smith?
Is everything okay.
- Yeah, I just can't get this damn.
I can't get my locker open.
- Go and wait in my office.
Tell me the number.
- 17.
- [Mr Vasan] 17.
- 32.
- [Mr Vasan] 32.
- 17.
Open!
- Thanks.
- I know it can be hard to find
the words when you are hurting,
but sometimes it helps to try.
For all of us.
- Oh my God.
That feels so good.
Where did you learn to do that?
- I have always been good with my hands.
- I bet you are.
(tense music)
- I actually thought about going to school for this.
- Oh?
Oh!
(tense music)
(loud thumping music in distance)
(door knocking quietly)
(door knocking loudly)
(loud rap music)
- Where's Hunter?
(door knocking quietly)
- [Hunter] Who is it?
- Yo, it's me, Ethan.
- Come on in.
Woo!
Now that's what I call a kick.
So what do you need today?
- Just the usual.
I don't got it.
But I promise you, you know I'm good for 100.
I'll get it.
- You know I don't play about my money.
You know the rules.
First the money, and then you can get the candies.
- I mean, this is all I have,
all I've got right now.
- Are you seriously joking with me right now?
You think you can just come up here
and do whatever you please?
You think I'm gonna give you quality
stuff for a couple of dollars?
Huh?
- It's all I got.
- Then get the hell out of here before I
slice your balls off and throw them to her.
You'd love them, wouldn't you?
- I'm sorry, Hunter.
- Get out.
Get out!
(loud rap music)
- Hey!
- What?
- [Violet] What's wrong?
What do you want from me?
- What the hell happened to your eye?
Okay, don't answer,
but I can get you some candies if you want.
- How?
♪ Low, I don't want you low ♪
(car engine rumbling quietly)
- He's gone.
- Yeah, you sure he's got what we need though?
- Trust me.
- All right, where's it at?
- Look in the master bathroom, under the sink.
He keeps it in a black box with a red top on it.
(suspenseful music)
Hurry up!
- Why don't you wake up the whole
neighborhood while you're at it?
(tense music)
(car clicking loudly)
(dramatic music)
- Woo, it's cold.
Go on in, baby.
- It's so cold--
- Welcome to my house!
- Wow, it's beautiful.
- Let me take this off you.
Just traveling.
Anyway, how about it?
How about it?
(girl laughing quickly)
I can't believe that he pulled that off, can you?
- Oh my God, I can't either.
- While we're in, I am so glad Kendall introduced me to you.
- I'm so glad too.
- You look so hot in that outfit.
We can talk about that a little bit later.
But first talk about this.
(loud banging)
- Did you hear that-- - What was that?
- I don't know.
Hold still.
(tense music)
- Do you lure guys like that all the time?
- Lure?
Look.
- [Ethan] You almost got me killed.
- You gotta do what you gotta do to survive, right?
Wait!
(upbeat music)
There's no need to rush.
- What about Hunter?
- What about him?
He doesn't own me.
Why, are you scared of him?
- No, um...
I should go.
- Are you sure?
I've got the room all night.
- Yeah, yeah, I should go.
- All right, I'll see you around.

Jeremy?
Boy?
- Dad, I told you to knock before you come in.
- I did knock, and I called your name three times.
What are you doing, listening to that mumble music?
Listen, your mother and I are leaving first thing.
We'll be gone a week.
You can have one or two friends over, but no parties.
Understand?
- Alright.
- Listen, be careful wearing that hoodie around town.
You heard about what happened to that boy in Florida.
He was the same age as you.
So when you walking through this neighborhood,
don't have that hoodie up.
Some people might be scaredy scared of you.
- Scared of me?
Yeah right.
- Love you, son.
- Love you too, dad.
- Oh, one more thing.
Make sure--
- [Miranda] George, I'm ready!
- You know what, nevermind.
- Ugh, nasty.
(school bell ringing loudly)
(students chatting quickly)
- All right, all right.
All right, settle down.
Excuse me, thank you.
All right.
So today we're gonna do a little writing assignment.
(students groaning quickly)
(groans loudly) Come on, guys.
Believe me.
It's not going to be easy, but the topic is fear.
Many of us have one fear or another hidden inside of us,
and it could be the fear of spiders,
or the fear of darkness,
or even the fear of embarrassment,
but it is there.
And so what I want you to do is I want you
to write on the story behind that fear.
You guys get me?
- [Students] Yes, sir.
- Perfect!
All right then, if you have any questions,
please raise your hand.
Otherwise, take out your pens and your pencils,
and let's start writing.
Do not rush.
Let's get it done, people.
(melancholy music)
(upbeat music)
- Hey, Jeremy.
- Hey.
Hey, where's Tyler?
- Hey Jeremy.
- Hey Jason!
Nice costume, man.
- Yeah, thanks man.
You too!
I don't see your toast?
- Yeah, I haven't found him yet.
- Alright, well,
alright man, enjoy the party.
Look at this as your own house.
Not my words, Tyler's.
- Okay. - See you, bro.
(upbeat music)
- You got this, Jeremy.
You got it, just go over there.
Just say hey, how you doing?
Just do it, come on.
Hey.
Looks like I found my toast.
- Don't get me started.
This is my sister's, and it sucks.
I wish this party would just end.
- Hey, the party's not that bad.
They've got beer, they've got music.
- And there's Sheila and Tyler making out.
- So that's where he's been all this time.
- Like why can't they just do all of that in the room?
- Tell me about it.
- And that's why I hate parties.
Especially costume parties.
- You know, the party's not that bad!
I mean, sure,
they're over there feeding on each others faces,
but that's only because they've been going out for a while.
- So we have a Tyler fan here, huh?
- Okay, whoa.
No, he's just my best friend.
Okay, this party does suck.
- Yeah. (giggles quickly)
- So what's your name?
- You know, I'm actually not that comfortable
saying my name to a complete stranger.
- A stranger?
I think we shared more than 100 words,
which, yeah,
that makes us not strangers.
- It's Jules.
- Nice to meet you, Jules.
I'm Jeremy.
- Nice to meet you too, Jeremy.
- I'm sorry, I didn't.
I leaned in, you just got.
So do you know where the room is?
- Actually, I do.
(calming music)
- Damn, that was something.
- Yeah, it was.
- Can I tell you a secret?
- If you trust me enough?
- This was actually my first time.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
What's wrong?
- I gotta get home.
My mom's gonna kill me if I come home late.
- Okay, can I take you home then?
- No, it's all good!
Thanks though.
- Jules, hey?
It's dark out,
and there's a bunch of drunk
lunatics with fruit costumes on.
(Jules laughs quickly)
Look, I just wanna make sure that you make it home safe.
- Okay.
- You think it's too late to go trick or treating?
Oh, I know this great pizza place round the corner.
You know, maybe I could take you out sometime?
We could hang out.
- Hey Jeremy, there's something I probably should tell you.
- What is it?
- So the thing is...
I'm gay,
and I know I probably should have told you that before,
but I think I just figured it out.
- Was I that bad?
- No, no, no, no.
It wasn't you.
I'm sorry, Jeremy.
I ruined your night and your first time.
Stupid.
- No.
(sighs quickly)
No, it's okay.
I'm just glad that you told me.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I mean, not too many people are open about how they feel,
but I'm just glad that you trust me with that.
- I didn't think you'd be this understanding.
- And now you know.
And it was good either way, so--
- Oh, you are so stupid.
(emotional music)
(bell ringing loudly)
- Alright everyone, keep your papers,
but I expect your complete assignment
by the end of next week, okay?
Alright everyone, have a good day.
(phone ringing quietly)
- [Jules] (voicemail) It's Jules.
I'll give you a call back when I can.

Ethan?
Why do I even know where you live?

(Jeremy grunting loudly)
Come on!
You are home, Mr Miller.
- [Ethan] No dad, no!
- You better thank me later.
(upbeat music)
Yeah, you owe me.
You know, I should be home right now,
but here I am, taking care of your ass.
- You're awake!
- What are you doing in my house?
(yells loudly) What are you doing in my house?
- Listen to me--
- (yells) I asked you a question.
What are you doing?
- I dragged your ass home because you
was passed out in an alley, okay?
- I didn't need your help, man.
I don't need anybody's help.
- Okay fine, all right?
I'll leave!
Just stop this!
(dramatic music)
- You're dead.
You're dead
(emotional music)
(Ethan coughing loudly)
(Ethan sobbing quietly)
- Hey, it's okay man.
(Ethan sobbing loudly)
- If you're done, you can leave.
- You know, I could have left you out there to die,
but I didn't.
- So?
Think you did me a favor?
What do you want from me, man?
- Yo, I don't know what your beef is with me--
- You know what my beef is with you.
- Look man, let me just help you.
- Who have you ever helped?
Exactly, nobody man.
You think that seeing me like this makes you brave?
You're still a little bitch.
- Ethan,
you cannot keep living like this, man.
- Now the coward's gonna teach me how to live my life?
Is that what this is?
Get out, man.
Leave!
- Fine.
You know what?
I may be a coward, but you're still a loser.
- Yo, wait.
You're right, man.
I'm a loser.
I need help.
- I'm sorry, I didn't hear you,
'cause sometimes it gets like loud--
- I said I need help,
man, please.
- For the first time, Ethan,
we're on the same page, man.
- So how are you gonna help me, man?
- I don't know.
I mean, I'll figure out something.
I mean, what are you gonna tell your dad?
- I'll make something up.
- Why don't you go pack some clothes,
we'll go to my house.
- Your house?
No, no, no man.
I can't go to your house.
- Fine, goodnight.
- Alright, wait a minute.
Alright.
- And pack a toothbrush.

- Finally, come on in!
(upbeat music)
- Yeah, yeah.
Yep, that's right baby!
(laughs quickly)
Give me a sexier look.
Sexier.
Look a little to the right.
Hold that right there.
Ooh, that's perfect.
Don't move.
Ooh, hold that.
There it is.
Yes.
I think that we are done for today, Maya.
- [Maya] Excuse me.
- Damn, you must be the new girl?
- Yes, I'm Tiffany.
- [Isaac] Hi Tiffany.
- Hi.
- It is nice to meet you.
God, you are gorgeous.
- Thank you.
- Are you ready for the shoot?
- Yeah. - Awesome.
Let's go in the room in the back and get changed.
The outfits are waiting for you, okay?
- Okay, thanks.
- Not bad.
(Tiffany giggles quickly)
- Um...
- Oh my God.
- Thanks.
(camera clicking loudly)
Um, sir?
- Are you ready, Tiffany?
I need you to be natural.
Be sexy, okay?
- It's just that I'm a little uncomfortable in this outfit.
And I was wondering if maybe you could
give me something else to wear?
(tense music)
- Listen, girl.
There's absolutely nothing to worry about, okay?
I'm the best at what I do.
Most people are shy at first, but they get used to it.
Trust me, okay?
- Okay.
- Rachel?
Rachel!
Hi.
Will you please adjust her outfit
just the way that I like it?
- You shouldn't have come here.
- Thank you, thank you.
You still seem a little nervous.
Why don't I help you relax a bit?
- Ethan?
I got you some food.
- I don't want food, man.
- Yeah, but if you don't eat,
you will--
- I need drugs, man.
I need drugs.
(tense music)
(Jeremy coughing loudly)
- Ethan, Ethan, Ethan.
Hey, Ethan?
(Ethan coughing loudly)
(eerie music)
- [Ethan] Hey.
- Hey.
- What happened to me?
- You were really messed up.
- How'd you stop me?
- I didn't, I just left you.
I had no idea what to actually do, so.
- Obviously.
- Man, I won't lie.
I got scared.
- Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry man.
- Nah, it's okay.
I know how hard it must be for you,
but trust me, you're doing better.
You hungry?
- A little, yeah.
- I got some leftover spaghetti that my mom cooked.
(emotional music)
(doorbell ringing loudly)
- Jules?
- Hey Alex, what's up?
- My cousin's here, so I was hanging out with her.
What are you doing here?
- Oh, I just thought maybe you and I could go out.
- I'm so sorry, but I can't.
- You know what, it's okay.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I should have called you before.
Oh, these are for you by the way.
I hope you like them.
- I'm sorry Jules, but whatever this is,
I can't accept it.
I know you came here to hang out,
but I already love someone.
I'm sorry, but I just can't accept this from you.
But I think of you as a really good friend,
so hopefully we can continue with that, hmm?
- Okay.
Yeah, sorry to distribute you.
Goodnight, Alexis.
(sad piano music)
Gosh, why am I being so open?
Is it the beer?
- Nah, I don't think it's the beer.
I mean, we're friends.
I just think you trust me enough to talk to me.
- Yeah, I guess you're right.
- So your story?
- Yeah.
So it was about a year ago and I was taking piano lessons.
There were a lot of other kids there,
but I was the only one with an extra hour.
The dude taught me many tricks
and tips to help me learn the piano.
Then one day,
he just touched me.
I regret I didn't tell my parents what happened after that.
I just hate myself so much right now.
If only I'd had the guts to tell this to my parents.
- What are you waiting for?
They deserve to know more than I do.
- But I'm scared, Jeremy.
I'm scared that they'll abandon me
because I'm not the girl they thought I was.
- You gotta give them a chance, Jules.
I mean, at least.
Sure, they'll be mad,
but not because of you.
- You think so?
You think I should tell my parents what happened?
- Yeah.
Trust me.
You'll feel better,
and what's the worst thing they're gonna do?
Throw pie in your face?
- Oh, you're so stupid!
But thanks, Jeremy.
- Ah, no problem.
I'm just glad you're taking a wise man's advice.
- Okay, now this is unfair.
Now I feel like you have something to blackmail me with,
and I still don't have anything on you.
- Well let's keep it that way, shall we?
- Oh hell no!
I opened up to you, it's only right you do the same.
- When did this ever become a rule?
- Since tonight, and since that time you kissed me.
- Fair enough.
- Well, what is it?
- I just feel like you're gonna laugh, but,
you know you were the first girl I ever flirted with?
- Wait, what?
Wait, are you being freaking serious?
Huh.
I thought you were like a literal Playboy.
- Really?
Were my lines that good?
- Not really.
You just seem like a natural.
- Thanks.
If only you didn't tell me that you were gay,
I'd kiss you again. (laughs quietly)
You know, I think this makes us friends officially.
- Boy, we were friends in the moment we saw each other.
- Oh, I like that.
Okay, do you think we should get
that on t-shirts and sell them?
- Not a bad idea, friend.
- You think we should leave?
- No, I don't really want to go yet.
Thanks Jeremy.
- Yeah, no problem.
(emotional acoustic music)
- This is real drug, man.
For real.
- Yeah, everybody loves my mom's cooking.
- Where are your parents?
- In Vegas.
You should, um,
let your parents know you're here.
I mean, they may be worried.
- My dad doesn't care about me.
- What about your mom?
- She, uh. (coughs quickly)
She died a few years back.
- I'm sorry, man.
- Ever since then, my dad hasn't been the same.
I haven't been the same.
But dad literally hates me.
- I don't think he does.
He may just have a weird way of showing he loves you,
but I don't think he hates you.
- Yeah, he does.
Trust me.
You know why I hated you?
Ever since my mom died, Tiffany and I got really close.
Her dad left her mom around the same times.
We became each other's shoulder than lean on.
That's why I hated you, 'cause I blamed you.
I blamed you for taking away the only reason I had to live.
- I'm sorry, man.
I didn't know.
- It's over, you know?
I gotta deal with it.
It's funny how life works,
'cause now you're the only one that's willing to help me.
- Yeah, I know,
and you're the reason why Tiffany dumped me.
- For real?
(Ethan and Jeremy laughing quickly)
I guess we're even.
- Yeah, we're even.
- Good riddance to us.
God, when she got mad?
She's gnarly--
- Yeah she blew up, man.
Should have seen her.
- Jeremy!
Get up here and stand up for me!
(laughs quickly)
Wait, wait, wait.
Shortcut, shortcut.
Get knowledge.
(door knocking quietly)
- Who's that?
- I don't know, go answer it.
(door knocking quietly)
- Oh, you better not let Wave Chappelle win.
- Where the hell's my son?
(yells) Ethan, Ethan?
Ethan!
Where's my son?
- Ethan isn't here.
- Tell me where my son is right now,
or I will call the cops and put you behind bars so quick.
You have no idea the connections I have.
Ethan?
- With all due respect, sir,
Ethan isn't here, I don't know where he is--
- Don't lie to me, kid.
My neighbor saw you with him a couple of days ago.
You tell me where he's at right now.
Enough of this camp bullshit.
Ethan?
- Dad.
- Ethan, when did you get here?
- What are you doing here?
- What am I doing here?
The question is what are you doing here, Ethan?
- I came to hang with my friend Jeremy for a few days.
- Seriously, him?
- Yeah dad, my friend.
- Okay guys, look.
Let's take it slow and steady.
Mr Miller--
- Get out of here.
- What the hell, relax!
- This is enough, Ethan.
We're going home right now.
- I'm not coming home.
- What did you say to me?
- Okay, look, look.
Come on, we can just talk about this.
- [Tim] What did I tell you--
- Dad, stop!
You alright?
- Mr Miller.
Your son is a good kid, alright?
He deserves better than you.
- Enough, we're going home.
- No dad, I'm not coming home with you.
- What did you say?
- I'm tired of living under your abuse.
- What did you do to my son?
- Dad, I'm done living my life
like an addict who's got nothing better to do.
And Jeremy's done nothing but help me.
- You think you're better than me?
But you know what?
You're the biggest disappointment in my life.
- Oh yeah?
Well, I come from you.
- One more word and you're dead.
- You think I'm afraid of you?
I'm not scared of you anymore, dad.
You can't control me, you can't even control yourself.
Look at you.
- (yells loudly) Mr Miller!
Mr Miller, stop!
- Get off me, get off me!
(dramatic music)
Son of a bitch.
- Stop!
- Alright, come on.
- Hey, wait.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
- Oh no, oh no.
(vase smashing loudly)
- I'm gonna go get some rest.
I suggest you do the same.
Oh, hey.
Call the cops for me?
And an ambulance too?
- What are you gonna tell the cops?
- Self defense.
- Sometimes you gotta stand up and fight.
You gotta face your fears,
and tell it that you're done worrying,
you're done hiding,
and show the world who you really are behind that fear.
And once you do that?
The world becomes,
it becomes much more different.
And it becomes livable,
enjoyable, and you can,
(sighs loudly) you can just breathe.
Now, this is nothing that I'm just
speaking randomly or anything like that.
It's just, I lived it,
and I realized that fear?
It's nothing that to be afraid of.
- [Yoga Instructor] And arms lengthening down by your side.
On breath in, reach your arms--
- [Jules] Hey, mom?
- [Angie] Hey, sweetheart.
- Can we talk?
(triumphant music)
- You okay?
- Ethan!
- Do I have to do this?
- Yes.
Trust me, this is better than DIY treatment.
- Yeah, but I'm clean.
I'm good.
- Ethan, if you really wanna get better,
this is the right way and only choice that you have.
- Alright, alright.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, how can I help you?
- Hey, my friend here wants to get clean,
so can you tell us about the programs
that you guys have please?
- Of course!
Follow me and I'll take you to the counselor.
He'll help you decide which programs are best for you.
Right this way.
- Alright, let's go.
One.
Two.
- Man, shut up.
You're worse than my pops.
(upbeat music)
(door knocking quietly)
- Tiff?
What are you doing here?
- I just came to apologize,
because I know that I was harsh and I know that I hurt you.
Can you please accept my apology?
- What's going on, is everything okay?
- No, nothing's right.
Everything's kind of falling apart.
- Wanna go for a walk in the park?
- Yeah.
Please say something.
- What do you want me to say, Tiff?
Look, I'm sorry about what happened to you,
but why are you telling me this?
- Because there's nobody I can talk to.
- Tiffany, everyone loves you!
I'm pretty sure you can,
you got plenty of friends to talk to--
- Yeah, but there's nobody I can trust.
- Tiff. (sighs loudly)
- Look, I know I acted selfishly,
but can you please just give me another chance?
I promise that.
- No Tiff, stop.
- [Tiffany] I promise that I won't--
- Stop!
(Jeremy sighing loudly)
Look, the thing is,
even if I wanted to date you again,
I don't think that we should.
- Why?
- Because.
- Because you already love somebody else?
- No, it's nothing like that.
It's just I think that we just end up hurting each other.
- Look, I promise.
I promise I will never hurt you again.
- Tiffany, you can't promise that.
Look.
Look at me, Tiffany.
- No.
If you ever need me, you know I'll always be there for you.
Alright, but I think you should just
go and tell your mom about what happened.

- Hey, why do I feel like it's been
a long time since we last talked?
- Because it has been, silly.
- Jules, I'm sorry.
You forgive me?
- Never.
(giggles loudly)
Okay, what is up with you and Ethan by the way?
People are saying you beat up his dad.
- Ethan's actually a good guy.
I've been helping him out with a few of his issues.
- You know what'd be so good right now?
- What?
- Well, there's this pizza place not too far from my house.
Maybe you and I should go sometime.
- Like tonight?
- Well, if we rush,
we can get there before they close.
- Seriously?
Are you sure, Jules?
- Jeez, Jeremy,
you are terrible at this.
- Let's go before they actually close.
(upbeat music)
You know, I knew you was gonna come around eventually.
- Yeah, me too.
I don't know what it was though.
- It was my swag!
Jeremy got a lot of it.
- No, no, no, no.
That's not it.
I think it was the um
That avocado costume
