Well, that -- what? Wait.
I-I [Chuckles.]
I don't understand.
Well, uh, he, uh -- he crashed here.
He was drinking like all night, and he -- whatever -- forgot his keys, I guess.
So he showed up at like 4:00 or so, and I-I just let him sleep it off here.
Oh, my god, it's so typical.
Yeah, he's an asshole.
Sorry, no.
You know, that's just He's -- no, he's okay.
We can still like him, right? Yeah, sure we can.
All right, well, we're here, so we can still -- cool.

Is that you're, uh, wearing? Um, I thought I'd add pants, but, yeah.
All right.
It's a toy store, right? I-it's a nice toy store So I'll wear nice pants, 'cause I'm sure all the kids who want toys will care.
You know what? Thank you.
You know, uh, slacks wouldn't hurt anything.
Uh, slacks don't exist anymore, mom.
Hey! I don't even think the word exists.
What's happening? Who's this? Who is Carson? [ Grunting .]
Is this heaven? Very funny, young man.
Billie tells me that you were out drinking all night.
No.
Not all night.
I stopped before dawn.
What a waste.
Mm.
Technically, a waste would be drinking all night, then throwing it all up.
That's a waste.
Drunk enough to sleep here at your sister's.
Stepsister's.
But, yeah.
I didn't even know you two were on speaking terms.
You haven't been for -- for a while.
No, yeah, we, uh -- we ran into each other at the thing you guys did -- the, um -- the renewal ceremony.
And I didn't get to tell you, but you looked beautiful, by the way.
And so, yeah, we -- we ran into each other, and, uh, we've been trying to -- you know, just trying to keep in touch.
That was a week ago.
Right, yeah, no.
Just seeing -- seeing how it goes.
[ Sighs .]
You know, don't -- don't let him use you, okay, sweetie? Promise me that.
I mean, his [Sighs.]
His father can be a user, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
You know, i think that depends.
You know, if the tree was on a hill, that apple could roll pretty far.
Um, shall we go? Come.
Yeah, don't let me, uh, stop you.
I got to get to work, so You still have that job? Yes.
Same one for five years.
Well, that's something.
It's something.
It's something nice.
Thank you, mom.
[ Sniffs .]
Anyway Have a good time at the toy store, okay? And make sure you spend a lot of money and don't worry about it 'cause it's just our inheritance, all right? And, um, thank you for letting me crash here last night.
That was -- that was very sweet Sis.
Sure, anytimeBro.
[ Chuckling .]
Okay.
Hey, I'll try not to make it a habit, all right? [ Laughs nervously .]
[ Laughs mockingly .]
Let's go.
Okay.
[ Door closes .]
Oh, god.
[ Sniffs .]
Hmm.
Hmm.
[ Rock music plays .]
[ Birds chirping .]
Can you just calm down for a second? No! No, I can't.
I really can't, okay? That was too fucking close.
That was too I know.
Fuck.
I mean, she had Carson with her.
Okay, so what? So what? Really? Well, I just think he's the last person we need to worry about.
I'm not really worried about him figuring this out.
Although [Chuckles.]
that would be amazing.
He would be like a junior detective.
Billy, come on! Okay? If she'd had her keys with her, she'd have walked right in on us.
Mm-hmm.
What if you'd been going down on me and Carson's standing right there? What about that? Then that would be awkward for all involved.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it didn't happen, did it? Well, thank god for that.
Look.
No, don't.
I don't fuckin' -- i don't want any stories or fuckin' bullshit rationalizations.
That was a wake-up call.
No.
That is -- that is what that was.
It's not that big a deal.
It's not! That answer [Chuckles.]
It just like really fuckin' scares me, okay? It terrifies me that I'm just, like, doing this on my own here.
You're not! I'm right here! Well, then don't say stupid shit if you're just gonna try to make me feel better.
I'm not trying to be stupid.
Well, I guess you're just a natural, then, I guess.
Ohh, burn.
I am seriously freaking out here and pissed off and freaking out and a lot of shit! Yes, I -- believe it or not, i get that now.
Why aren't you? I am, okay? It's weird.
I understand, and it could be bad.
But didn't we know this could happen at some point eventually? I guess, I guess.
You didn't? You guess you did? 'Cause I did.
Oh, good for you.
You get a gold star, and I get to just shit my pants.
Billie, stop.
Stop.
don't fuckin' tell me to stop.
I will -- I will stop when I fuck-- I will stop when I want to stop.
Fine.
It is fine.
It is fucking completely fuckin' fine.
Yes, it is.
Yes, I'm serious.
It is.
I know.
Me too.
don't, don't, don't, don't do that.
What? don't fuckin' play that game.
What?! Just mister like, calm and collected.
I'm not.
I'm just trying to balance you out a little bit.
Oh.
[ Laughs .]
I'm trying to be sensitive.
don't.
don't.
I fuckin' hate that shit.
What do you hate? What do you hate? Sensitivity? Yeah.
Yeah, sensitivity can suck my dick.
Okay, I mean, i think it's unlikely.
I think it's biologically impossible, but why not? don't worry about it.
You just forget all about it.
I'm just gonna deal with this on my own.
Hey, come on.
Nope.
Come on.
No, it's fine.
No, listen.
It's fine.
I left work to come and discuss this with you, so let's do it.
Let's discuss this.
Yeah, all you do is fucking crack jokes.
That is my way of coping.
Well, I don't like it.
Well, then you don't like me.
Thanks, Freud.
Oh.
Oh, that's funny.
So you get to crack jokes.
It's just not okay when I do.
Pretty much, yeah.
Well, that's not fair to anyone.
I don't think I'm ready for this, okay? What? Us being like this.
What? Fighting? Is a couple -- I don't care if we fight.
We didn't even tell anyone yet.
You can't even give it a chance? That's all you can do? That's it? Maybe so.
Yeah, I don't think I'm ready, okay? I just -- I just don't think i can do this.
Okay, fine.
People don't do it for a reason, get together when they're, you know, siblings.
Step! Whatever.
Whatever.
We are stepsiblings.
Well, fine.
Okay.
Look, we were curious.
I was.
Okay? And -- and we got to fuck around, and it was nice, all right? Hey, it was nice.
Thanks.
But now maybe we just leave it right there.
That's really how you feel? I guess.
All right.
I mean, maybe it's just the best thing for right now.
Hey, if you say so.
Well, don't just fuckin' agree with me to agree with me.
I'm not.
Tell me what you think.
I'll tell you what I think.
I think you're scared.
You're gonna run off no matter what I do, so I might as well protect myself.
You don't want to be with me, you don't have to.
You can go.
Just go.
Great.
Great.
See you at Christmas, then.

I stopped the guy.
I want to remember how many I had.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
I love it.
What's up? Nothing.
Which means that mystery guy you're fucking.
This is why we're friends, because you are a psychic person.
Yeah, that and the fact that you owe me about, mm, $6,000 worth of cash and clothes.
What? That's a lot of money.
And if we didn't see each other, I'd never get it, so That's fair.

Hello.
Stepsister.
Nice too meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Your name is Billie, too? Yeah, it's crazy, right? [ Chuckling .]
Wow.
I've always found it confusing, myself.
Our parents got together when we were a bitWell, young, but not so -- not so young that, you know -- is one of your names short for something, like William? No.
It is a little odd, yeah.
Really? Yeah, it is.
I know.
It's a coincidence.
[ Chuckling .]
Yeah, it is.
It is.
It is.
So, anyway, you guys here for a business-lunch date? Uh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We are, um, discussing some new story ideas.

It's a double issue.
For chisel? Yep.

Cool.
Really neat.
Yeah, it's okay.
Drew: Nice place to have a meeting.
I suppose you can write this off or something -- for business stuff.
Exactly.
Why don't you two join us, and then we'll cover your meal, too.
Sure, Denise.
That's a great idea.
Billy: Ah, she's kidding.
You don't want to? You don't want us to? I think we're kidding.
Are you kidding? She's kidding.
No, no, no.
Okay, well, yeah, they'd probably question us and we'd have to lie about it, so That's what I'm saying.
I think better we just keep it all above board.
Nobody gets hurt, you know.
Maybe next time.
Yeah.
[ Chuckles .]
Yeah.
Ha-have another.
I will.
Yeah, it was nice to meet you, though.
