[V.O.] Ethan made plans with Kat to go bowling that night. Kat was depressed because she couldn’t figure out why she didn’t love Ethan. So she decided to make a list of pros and cons. But she couldn’t think of anything, which made her realize Ethan might not be the problem.
Mmm... [mimics shooting herself in the head and falls aside]
[V.O.] Kat hated herself. But the problem with hating yourself is you can’t really talk about it. Because at some point recently, the whole world joined a self-help cult and won’t shut the fuck up about it.
[in an online tutorial video] It’s not gonna solve all your life problems, but it is gonna solve... [Kat closes laptop]
[standing in bathroom doorway] Kat. You’re one of the bravest, most beautiful human beings I have ever seen.
[with her mouth full] That’s not true.
Yes, it is. I wish I had your confidence.
But I don’t, like... feel healthy.
Yes, you are.
No, like... seriously. I’m not.
Kat, you just have to love yourself.
But that’s what I’m trying to tell you! I fucking hate myself!
Every day you get out of bed... it’s an act of courage.
That’s easy for you to say. You don’t have, like, fucking mental problems.
Yes, I do. Why do you think I look like this?
Are you kidding? I wish my mental problems made me look like you.
Trust me, you don’t
Trust me, I do! You’re like the most beautiful person I’ve ever fucking seen.
Maybe by a white, cis-male, heteronormative standard.
[lies in bed and covers face with pillow] Oh, my God! Are you fucking joking?!
[rips pillow off and yells] Kat! Are you fucking serious?! That’s not you fucking talking! It’s the patriarchy!
It is me talking! You are not listening!
No! Society puts things into your mind!
I don’t care about society! I feel like shit!
Kat, you need to smash all beauty standards!
But I can’t even get out of bed!
You have to love yourself.
You need to find your inner fuckin’ warrior!
Become a bad bitch!
Just like you did last year!
But that wasn’t even real.
It looked real.
That was the point!
I found it inspiring.
[gets up out of bed] Shut the fuck up!
[chanting, repeatedly swarming and following Kat] Love yourself!
[goes into the bathroom, shouts with influencers following her, shouting and pointing] Leave me alone! Get the fuck out!
[Kat glances at phone and sees a text message from Ethan:
"Be there in 20 mins".
[She looks up and notices that all influencers disappeared]
Fuck.
