[V.O.] It's one thing to dislike your parents. It's not like you have a choice. But if you dislike your kid, well, that's sort of your fault.

And like with Jules, right? Like, when I first met her, I was just immediately in love.
In love?
Yeah. When you say it out loud, it kind of sounds small.
What's a bigger feeling than love?
Loss.
You think?
Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I don't know, maybe that's what it was, right? Like, as soon as I saw her, I was just immediately afraid to lose her.
[Lexi notices Cassie doing her makeup in their bathroom in the middle of the night]
Why are you awake at 4 a.m?
Why are you awake at 4 a.m?
[V.O.] Cassie decided to wake up at 4 a.m. that morning to get ready for school. She needed to clear her head. And for those three hours she spent getting ready… she only thought about one thing. There was also something refreshing about the amount of time she was putting into herself. She loved the ritual, the attention to detail... the anxiety and excitement she felt in her stomach. And even if Nate pretended not to notice her. It was her way of telling him that she was his.
True or dare?
Dare.
Yo, Jules. I dare you to take a piss in the middle of the street.
Alright. [gets out vehicle] Sure, yes! [Elliot chuckles] Gender-fuck me, please!
Wow!
Jules!
Wow!
Okay, all right!
Oh, shit!
Ohh.
[Jules starts pissing]
Oh. Okay, Jules. [Elliot chuckles]
[laughs when a vehicle is oncoming] Hey! Car! [motorist honks]
Oh... my God. [turns to face Elliot's vehicle]
[repeatedly] No...!
[repeatedly] Not on the car...!
[walks up to jock and two friends] Hey, look, I, uh, I noticed the way that you’ve been lookin’ at me you know, past couple days, and I... I wanted you to know, I too, I’m into scat play, and if you wanted to, like, poop on each other–
JJock
What the fuck?!
[The jocks shout and chase Ethan]
Oh shit, oh shit, oh!
Oh, my God.
JJock
I’ll fuckin’ kill you, goddammit!
If I were a genius, I’d figure out a way to do drugs for free. What if I am a genius? I’m a fuckin’ genius, Fez.
...
Is that so?
It is fuckin’ so because I came up with an amazing fuckin’ plan.
And what would that be, Rue?
All right, so [clears throat] ...all you would have to do is front me, like, $5,000 worth of drugs, okay? And–
Hell the fuck no.
Okay, well, before you say no, you kind of have to let me finish, right?
Hell the fuck no.
Okay, why do you keep saying that?
I did not like the way that the plan started.
Okay, well, you have to let me finish the fucking plan.
No.
Yes. You–
Hell the fuck no, Rue.
Fuck it. I give up. Whatever. I’ll just take my fuckin’ business elsewhere. It’s your fuckin’ loss, man.
Hell the fuck no.
[loitering in hallway with Rue] That’s a good-ass plan.
Thank you. Fuckin’ Fez didn’t even wanna hear it.
Why not?
Ego shit, man. [to Lexi in hallway putting up flyers over the official "Oklahoma" play production calling for auditions of her original play also entitled Oklahoma] Yo, Lex, what're you doin'?
Oh, just putting up fliers for this play I'm doing.
What play? [V.O.] The only thing is... Lexi hadn't told anyone about the play... including Cassie.
I'd actually love for you to read it. [aloud] Yeah, for sure. Just, uh, send it to me. [enters washroom]
[enters washroom] Hey, Rue-Rue.
Hi, Cass. Wait, are you in the play?
What play?
Lexi's play.
What do you mean, Lexi's play?
Uh, the play that Lexi wrote.
"Oklahoma".
What?
The play's called "Oklahoma"?
No, the drama club's doing "Oklahoma."
Oh my god. Do I look like I'm in "Oklahoma"?
Why would your play be set in Oklahoma?
[facing Rue with Lexi making a slash throat (meaning; stop talking) gesture behind her] You thought I was auditioning for "Oklahoma"?
I haven't read it, so...
[Lexi frantically makes waving gestures (meaning; PLEASE stop talking) behind her] Are you making fun of me, or did you actually think I was auditioning for "Oklahoma"?
[walks up with Kat] Why the fuck would you audition for "Oklahoma"?
I'm not!
Then why the fuck do you look like you're auditioning for "Oklahoma"?
Do I?
Yes.
Has everyone read "Oklahoma" but me?
"Oklahoma"'s not like a play you read.
Rue, are you on drugs?
Yes.
You relapsed?
Wait, what?!
Oh, I've just... nah, I've just been smokin' a little bit of weed.
Wait, I don't understand. If you're not auditioning for "Oklahoma," then why do you look like that?
Like what?!
Like a country music star.
In a good way or a bad way?
Bitch, you better be joking. Are you okay, Cass?
No! Yes, fuck it! I am in love with Nate Jacobs and he is in love with me! And don't you fucking give me that look, Maddy, because I didn't fuck your boyfriend! You two were broken up for three weeks and three days before we even had sеx, so I didn't betray you! Plus, you guys are terrible for each other and you know I'm right and you guys can all judge me [turns head over left shoulder to Rue then back at Maddy and Kat] if you want, but I do not care! I have never, ever been happier!
[V.O.] But she didn't say that. In fact, it was much weirder. She just stared straight ahead like she's doing now and didn't say a word.
I think being single's really stressing you out.
No, I don't think so.
I hate it.
Really?
Yeah. I think Nate really fuckеd me up. [Theo gasps] I said, "Messed me up."
TTheo
No, you didn't.
What do you mean?
I keep trying to figure out if I feel worse now than I did when I was with Nate.
I mean, you were really unhappy.
Like, I remember how the good parts felt. But when it was bad, was it really that bad? Or am I just telling myself that because I'm lonely and bored?
[shakes her head] No, you... you deserve someone who's passionate and loving. Who yearns for you, and–and can't wait to see you, who... who you're not gonna fight with, and just who's gonna love you. Like... really, truly love you.
Yeah... I don't know. [to Theo] Do me a favor... when you get older, don't be an asshоlе to girls you like, okay?
I know you and your drug addict friend. That girl... who tried to extort my son.
What?
Because of what I did to her friend.
The fuck are you talkin' about, man?
You know, the blonde.
Who? Jule?
[sighs] Look, man. I didn't know she was 17.
...You tellin' me you had sex with Jule?
FFaye
Who's Jule?
What the fuck, man?
FFaye
Do I know Jule?
The fuck are we even talkin' about right now, bro?
FFaye
Jule... Jule, Jule.
I just want the disc.
What disc?!
Of Jule and I.
Yo, you recorded that shit?!
I didn't know.
You didn't know that you were recording?
I fucked up.
Obviously, man! Yo, who the fuck even told you I gave a shit about this anyway?
My son.
Your son? The one that's in love with Jule?
FFaye
Aw, that's cute.
That's not cute, man. What the fuck?
What?
What kinda weird-ass father-son shit is goin' on around here, bro?
...I'm extremely confused.
You're confused? I'm fuckin' confused, bro!
FFaye
Me, too.
Now as a beloved character that a lot of people are rooting for, I feel a certain responsibility to make good decisions... [side-eye into camera] but I relapsed. In all fairness, I did say in the beginning I had no intentions of staying clean. But I get it. Our country's dark. And fucked up. And people... just want to find hope.
Somewhere.
Anywhere. And if not in reality, then in television. Unfortunately, I'm not it. [takes a sip of cough medicine directly from bottle]
So, Rue, the $64,000 question is… What’s in the suitcase?
School books.
Ah, is that why you’re in that getup? You became an honors student?
I’m not in the mood for a lecture.
Lecture? I like to think we have conversations.
Yeah, I’m sure you do.
Okay, what? Did a hornet crawl up your ass or something? What’s wrong with you?
Look, I’m–Man, I’m not trying to hear a fucking lecture about how my life would be better if I stopped doing drugs, or believed in God or Allah or whatever the fuck.
Okay, well, you’re the one lookin’ like a Jehovah’s Witness. I just don’t think that there’s Bibles in that suitcase.
Shut the fuck up, man.
Wait, wait, wait. Excuse me? "Shut the fuck up?" Don’t play that shit with me. I've always accepted you for who you are: The good, the bad, and the ugly. Don't tell me to shut the fuck up. I'm not some parent you can just treat like shit.
Yeah, well, good thing nobody's really looking to you to be a fucking parent.
Yo! Excuse me? [uncomfortable pause] Excuse me?! [scoffs] When I sit across from you and tell you something about my life, you don't get to use that shit against me. You cross that line again, we're done. You talk back right now, we're done. One more fuckin' disrespectful word outta your mouth and we're done, you hear me? HEY! YOU HEAR ME?!
Or what, Ali? You gonna hit me?
Does that feel okay?
Yeah, it feels amazing. [V.O.] I don't think you understand how much I love Jules. The only problem is, I took so many narcos, I literally can't feel a fucking thing.
Is there anything you want me to, like... do differently?
Nah, nah. It's amazing.
Rue, you keep saying that.
I know, 'cause this is amazing.
I feel like you ruined me forever.
Why does it sound romantic when you say it like that?
I love you.
I love you, too.
Why did you love me?
I still love you.
But why?
'Cause you're smart and cruel... but not really.
Not really smart?
Not really cruel.
...It's funny you say that because it's something that I didn't really realize until after we broke up. [pause] Did you know that I loved you? I'm not talking about obsession or fighting or fucking. I'm talking about love. Did you feel loved by me?
I don't know.
[Cassie sitting on Nate's bed while Nate is in the bathroom]
But you knew I had feelings for Maddy.
But I didn't know you were gonna get back together with her.
How many times do I have to tell you that we're not back together?
Right, you just hung out and talked about love.
Oh, Jesus fucking Christ.
If I would've known you were gonna get back together, I wouldn't have done this.
That's a lie!
It's not a lie!
You have this image of yourself as so fucking sweet and innocent... but it's bullshit. If you were a fucking sweet person, you wouldn't have fuckеd your best friend's boyfriend.
[shakes her head] You two were broken up.
That is a comfort to nobody but you.
I can't do this.
What, you wanna go tell Maddy?
Maybe I will.
You're afraid that I'm still in love with Maddy, so you're gonna do whatever the fuck it takes to destroy that. This isn't about being a fucking good person, Cassie, or being a fucking good friend. This is about you getting what you want. [pause] You can fucking leave, or you can get into bed. It's up to you.
You know what you don't realize, Nate? Is I don't care what happens to me. I don't care how angry Maddy gets. You two shouldn't be together. You're toxic.
How would you know?
Because she's my best friend, and I'm in a relationship with you. She's not good for you, you're not good for her, and I will do everything I can to prevent it.
Maddy, that's literally fucking insane! [Cassie gasps] Madd... Cassie, I s–
See?! This is what I'm talking about!
I–I said Maddy because we're talking about how fucking crazy Maddy is, which you can't seem to fucking comprehend!
No! What you don't understand, Nate, is I AM CRAZIER!
That's not something to be fucking proud of, Cassie!
No... but it is something you should be scared of.
[quietly] What the fuck? What the fuck!? You can't fucking blackmail me into a relationship with you!
Blackmail means you don't have choices. But in reality, you do have choices. You just have to own up to the consequences of them!
That is the LITERAL FUCKING DEFINITION OF BLACKMAIL! If you don't do this, I'm gonna do that! That is blackmail!
FINE, IT'S BLACKMAIL! I don't care! It doesn't change anything!
It's fuckеd up!
You know what's fuckеd up, Nate?! You telling me that you love me, and then going and being in a relationship with my best friend!
...OH, WHAT THE FUCK?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
[calmly] Okay. Bye.
[sighs when Cassie leaves the bedroom] For fucking...
[Cassie walks down the stairs as Nate tries to stop her from leaving]
Cassie, stop. I love you.
[Cassie stops for a moment, then continues walking downstairs. Nate punches the wall in anger.]
[enraged] I RAISED YOU! I DID! OKAY?! AND YOU DON'T EVER FUCKING SCARE ME LIKE THAT! [calms down] You're not a good person, Rue. [Rue grins and chuckles] You smiling? Really? You're proud of that?
You know what’s a shame, Mom? My dad’s dead. Kinda keeps you from admitting what a shit fuckin’ mother you are. [scoffs] “Oh, poor Leslie. Her daughter’s an addict, but, you know, her dad did die.”
[Rue walks into Gia's bedroom]
You hear that, Gia?! You hear that?! I don’t wanna put too much pressure on you, but you’re probably gonna have to be a fucking neurosurgeon, or maybe an astronaut because if not, then Mom is zero for fucking two. And that means that it might actually just be her fucking fault.
GGia
Rue, stop!
Yeah, that means, maybe, she actually fucked up!
