MILLIE: Okay.
I got some eggs coming right up.
Make you eggs.
-Madame, your breakfast. -[CHUCKLES EXCITEDLY]
Okay, let's braid your hair.
So, I have another little interesting tidbit.
[CHUCKLES]
Did you know that a hippopotamus' sweat is red?
-Can you imagine that? -[SQUEAKS]
Arm, please.
Arm.
Thank you.
I've got another good one for you.
You're gonna love this one.
Cats do not meow at each other. Only humans.
Now wouldn't you love to know what that's all about?
Okay, other arm. Thank you.
I don't know, maybe I made that one up.
-[STAMMERS] Uh-uh-uh. -There you go.
[CHUCKLES]
[SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING ON HEADPHONES]
[CHUCKLES]
I love you.
Goodbye.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
EBO: Hello, my young friend.
Little Miss Muffet.
Where you been hiding yourself?
Got a lot of pups for you today.
-Ah... -Ten dogs.
New National Geographic. Goldmine.
There's a Great Dane, and a golden retriever,
-and a Doberman Pinscher. -[CHUCKLES]
Have a lovely day.
Say hello to Grandmother, huh?
[CONTINUES LAUGHING AND HUMMING]
Hmm, seven is the only number from one to ten that has two syllables.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
That's right.
Interesting.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[THUDDING]
GEORGE: Hey.
[GROANS]
Hello, Music.
I'll be up to fix your air conditioner in a couple of minutes.
All right? Up you go.
Okay, yeah.
Thanks, Felix. Got it covered from here.
[HUMMING]

[WHIMPERING]
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
All right, Millie...
[WHIMPERING]
Okay.
[CRYING]
Okay. Okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Millie?
[CRYING]
It's all right. It's okay.
-She's just sleeping. -[MUSIC PLAYER CLATTERS]
It's okay.
GEORGE: Uh... All right.
My neighbor's... My neighbor's just passed out on the floor.
-She's not... She's not breathing. -[SIREN WAILING]
I can't feel her pulse. I think she's...
[SIRENS APPROACHING]
[MUSIC CRYING]
OFFICER: So I just have a couple more questions for you.
GEORGE: Sure.
Does she have any other family members that we can contact?
Family members?
[SIGHING]
-[MUSIC PLAYING INDISTINCTLY] -[SNORING]
Meeting's over, hon.
Mm...
Oh, I must have dozed off.
[SIGHS]
Everybody was just talking and talking,
and the next thing I knew I am dreaming.
Oh, of a beautiful, beautiful paradise.
Far away from here.
Come on, honey. Here we go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going, hold on.
Uh, one last thing.
Nudge from the judge.
Sign that.
-[PHONE VIBRATING] -[ZU SIGHS]
WOMAN: It's vibrating.
ZU: It's a little distracting.
Oh, shit.
Jeez...
George. Georgie.
What?
Yeah.
[WHISPERS] My grandma died.
Yeah, that's... That's pretty sad.
Um, let me call you right back.
Let me... Let me call you back.
Did your grandmother really just die?
Yeah, it's fine. I don't really know her very well.
Hey, do I have to do something to get one of those or can I just...
-Buy one? -You earn these.
I have to earn it.
Yeah, that's true.
That's how you do it.
I feel like that's kind of what I'm doing here.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
TV HOST: On a quest for a Radgical?
Wanna come along with me?
Sure you do. What could be better than this?
-Wanna give it a spin? -Ah.
Darn right you do.
Say it with me. One, two, three, Radgical.
[LAUGHS]
Knock-knock.
Surprise! [LAUGHS]
Hey, George.
Music.
-Hey! -[MUMBLES]
[SIGHS] It's been a while.
Nothing's really changed, huh, George?
Your grandmother left these papers in case of emergency.
Don't know what's in 'em. Rent's paid for 30 days.
She didn't happen to mention a will, did she, George?
[OBJECTS CLATTERING]
Oh, jeez. George, what did I ever do to you?
Well, for starters, you broke into my apartment.
Here we go. I made a mistake.
I thought it was my grandma's.
Then you tried to steal my television set.
I did steal your television set,
and I'm... I'm really sorry about that.
And then you fell off my fire escape.
Okay, First of all, I was drunk.
And high. Really high.
And second, I just wish you weren't still mad about that.
It was years ago.
That was five months ago.
Hey, I'm serving the time.
Look, you're gonna like this.
I'm one of you now.
GEORGE: Hmm.
Besides, my brief stay with the state was an eye-opener for me.
I am motivated now.
I'm a better person now.
-And I've got a plan. -Hmm.
Paradise.
I've got a plan, too. I'm going home. Been a rough day.
If Music needs anything, you know, I'm right down the hall.
Third fire escape to the left.
MUSIC: Ah-mm. [CHUCKLES]
-[MUSIC HUMMING] -[ZU SIGHS]
[MUSIC LAUGHING]
Well, you know what I like to do
when there's nothing else to do for the day?
-ZU: Hey, hey. -I like to sing a song...
-Can you hear me? -[MOANING]
Yeah, that's right.
-Music? -[MOANING]
It's me, Zu.
TV HOST: They're Radgical They're Radgicals...
ZU: I'm...
Oh, would you look at that?
I'm your sister.
Well, I'm your half-sister, technically.
Zu.
[MUSIC HUMMING]
When was the last time I saw you, Music?
-Maybe it was, like... -Go to bed.
TV HOST: See you next time, everybody.
I will go to bed.
Good luck on your mission.
-Whatever it is. -[DOOR CLOSES]
[LINE RINGING]
WOMAN: Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health.
Listen, do you guys do pick up?
Like, if I got a kid that needs to be picked up?
Or do I have to come in and... And drop her off?
WOMAN: Pick up? You mean like a laundry service?
No, we don't do pick up.
But... But, like, what if I wasn't here?
-But you are there. -But what if I wasn't?
But you are.
What if I wasn't?
[LINE DISCONNECTS]
Hello?
Whoo!
[LAUGHS]
[SNIFFS]
Hmm.
Scratch-and-sniff stickers in your will.
Incredible.
"Dear Kazu, there's no money.
"There is, however,
"a magical little girl, your sister,
"who could use your love and care.
"You won't remember this, but when she was little,
"she clung to you like a koala bear,
"like you were a tall eucalyptus tree.
"All she's got now is you."
[LAUGHS IN EXCITEMENT]
Mm.
[AMUSING MUSIC PLAYING]
Night falls
And I am Longing for your touch
Tears on my pillow
I gotta feel your love
Baby, don't leave me
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
[MUSIC STOPS]
[MUSIC RESUMES]
But you run Here you come
Into my arms
Here we are together
Once again
It's you and me for life
You and me for life
You and me for life
It's you and me for life
You and me for life
You and me for life
[MUSIC HUMMING]
Make you eggs.
-[SHOUTS] Make you eggs! -Ah!
-Make you eggs. -[SIGHING]
-What time is it? -Make you eggs.
-Make you eggs! -Stop! Stop.
[MUSIC WHIMPERING]
"Make you eggs" is not a time.
-Make you eggs. Make you eggs. -Oh! Okay, I got it.
-Make you eggs. -I got it.
It's "make you eggs" time.
-[SIGHS] -MUSIC: Make you eggs.
ZU: All right, Music,
something you should know about me.
I'm not a morning person.
Okay. Eggs a la Zu.
Bon appetit.
If you don't mind, I'm going back to bed.
Braid your hair.
What?
-What was that? -Braid your hair.
I don't have hair. It's too short. So I'm not...
Braid your hair! Braid your hair.
Oh.
-Braid your hair! Braid your hair. -Uh-huh. I know. I got it.
I don't know how...
Braid your hair. Braid your hair. Braid your hair.
-Braid your hair! -[CUTLERY CLATTERING]
-[CRYING] -Shh! I was just...
Hey! It's okay. Music, it's okay!
-It's... -Ouch.
-[MUSIC CRYING LOUDLY] -Shit.
Calm down.
Calm down! Calm down! It's okay.
Music!
[OBJECTS CLATTERING]
-[BANGS ON WALL] -Ow...
Oh, my God.
-[KNOCK AT DOOR] -Damn it.
Hold on!
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
[PANTING]
Hi there.
I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know how to do... [SNIFFLES]
Music.
-ZU: She's just freaking out. -It's your friend, Ebo. You know me.
Trust me.
I'm going to crush you now, and make you feel safe.
[MUSIC SCREAMING]
-Come on. -You're not hurting her, are you?
No, I'm not. I'm crushing her with my love.
-She will be all right. -[MUSIC MOANING]
[MUSIC SCREAMS]
I don't like that.
I don't like that.
[MUSIC MOANS]
You cannot hit yourself like that, Music.
-EBO: Okay? -[WHIMPERING]
Your friend Ebo doesn't want to see you hurt yourself like that.
-All right? -[STOPS CRYING]
How about some chewing gum? I know where you keep it.
[SOFTLY] Braid your hair.
Braid your hair.
All right.
I think I can do that.
[WHIMPERING]
Let's go.
It's all right.
Sit here.
Chewing gum.
As I was saying, I live next door.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I knew Millie very well.
If there is anything I can offer...
to help you in your time of need,
just let me know.
Can you move in?
[CHUCKLES]
I am close by.
All right, Music.
Let's get you a braid.
-[SIGHING] -EBO: Okay.
-And the blue one goes on this side. -[CHUCKLES]
EBO: I know that.
-EBO: Okay. -[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Let's get the other side.
[LAUGHING]
Ebo?
Ebo, yes. E-B-O.
And you are?
Really stressed out.
I'm really stressed out. [LAUGHS]
No, I'm Zu.
-Zoo? -Zu.
Kazu, but Zu, with a U.
-Z-U. -Z-U.
Zu.
All right, Music.
-We are all done. -[EXCLAIMS]
Very impressive.
EBO: It is nothing.
Right, this way, Music.
Okay.
Do you know how often she's been having episodes?
I've only lived here, like, ten hours,
so, no.
That is true.
Oh, but Millie wrote a bunch of stuff down on, um...
In a... In a book.
And, uh...
EBO: Music, I cannot imagine what you must be feeling today.
ZU: Maybe that'll be helpful.
Okay.
[EXHALES]
So this is the book and...
[EXHALES]
Her whole life's a schedule.
She takes a walk each morning.
-Oh. -We have it coordinated.
I can go with you if you'd like, show you the route she takes.
-If you'd like. -[DOOR CLOSES]
-Where's she... Where's she going? -Walk.
[ZU SIGHS]
ZU: Oh, thanks.
[EXHALES]
I keep sweating, and you're the one who did all the work.
How do you know how to calm her down?
How do you do that?
In Ghana, my younger brother was the same way.
-NASSIR: Little Miss Muffet. -He liked to be held to feel safe.
Where is he now?
He is dead now.
-Oh, I'm sorry. -It's all right.
Special needs are not well understood in my country.
In fact, in my village, it was considered a curse.
Greenwich Village?
No, not... Definitely not Greenwich Village. [LAUGHS]
Aah...
ZU: Are you always stoned?
Are you just the smiliest person on Earth?
No, I don't take drugs.
Me neither, actually.
But that's just 'cause I took way too many. [CHUCKLES]
So I'm not allowed to take them anymore.
So the same, but opposite.
Okay.
She's allergic to bees, penicillin and nuts.
Your grandma kept thorough records.
Yeah, well, she wasn't much of a thrower-awayer.
EBO: No bed-wetting for two years.
ZU: Is that what she's keeping track of?
[PLEASANT MUSIC PLAYING]
MUSIC: Uh...
Hmm?
I wet the bed four months ago.
Were you close with her?
No, no. We were not close.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Who's close with their grandma?
I spoke to my grandmother this morning.
-Of course you did. -MUSIC: Uh... Uh...
EBO: So many phones.
What do you do?
What don't I do?
That's the... That's the question.
Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get to paradise, so...
Where is paradise?
Costa Rica.
Gonna get a plot of land, live by the ocean,
grow my own food,
teach yoga.
Paradise.
You teach yoga?
What don't I do?
What, so you do teach yoga?
Well, I mean, I can stand on my head and I can...
you know, play dead.
Isn't that kind of what you need to know?
EBO: [CHUCKLES] I think it's a little more than that.
Yeah, well, those who cannot do, teach.
So I think I'm overqualified.
How about you?
How can you afford this grand palace?
I teach...
[CHUCKLES]
...boxing to kids.
Great.
ZU: I'm hungry. You want to go get something to eat?
And I forgot my wallet, which means you'll have to get it,
and then I can do it next time.
[CHUCKLES] I can't right now, but, um,
maybe later I can stop by and help out with Music.
Oh, I was actually planning on sending her to a people pound later,
but guess I'll keep her a little longer.
Oh, my God. Did you think I was...
I'm not serious.
-I mean, I'm... Well, kind of... -Hey.
-I didn't mean it like that. -I know.
Gotcha.
I'm getting you.
There's a dark girl vibe you got going on.
-See you later. -I'm not that dark.
All right.
FELIX'S DAD: You're late again.
Remind me why we adopt this...
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
ZU: All right.
Let's see if we can shake some cash out of this old rat trap, huh, Music?
What's behind door number one?
[FUNKY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Jesus.
[LAUGHING]
[EXHALES]
No.
That is way too easy.
Come on, Millie.
Can't believe I'm related to these people.
Whoop...
Then again, I can totally believe we're related.
Ah.
See you in paradise.
MILLIE: I love you.
You... [ECHOING]
-[LID OPENS] -[SIGHS]
[GASPS]
TV HOST: They're radical They're magical...
-They're Radgical... -ZU: Music.
-Hey, turn this off. -[TV TURNS OFF]
-MUSIC: Ahh... -Check this out.
I remember these being so much bigger then...
-[WHIMPERING] -Here.
ZU: So great.
[GASPS] Oh, my God.
Look, it's Raindrop.
-You remember Raindrop? -[CRYING]
Maybe you were too little.
Raindrop was my dog.
He had seizures, too, just like you.
And then he was hit by a car.
Because Mom... Mom left the door open.
You remember Mom?
She was a junkie.
MUSIC: Go to bed.
Big junkie.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
RUDY: That is such a bummer.
No. I remember when mi abuela died,
I was a mess for, like, a year.
-Mi abuela? -Yeah.
-No, I don't mind that she's... -Just let it out.
You need to let it out. You need to let it out. You need to scream.
You need to say something. Tell me how you feel.
-Let it out. Yes. -I don't need to scream out.
No, really. I mean, I know I'm not supposed to say this out loud, but...
[SOFTLY] I don't care.
You're not processing it yet.
-No, I can prove it. -You'll process on your own time.
-I don't... -You process on your own time, okay?
-I don't... -You will. Do you hear me?
-You're going to process on your own time. -I don't care, Rudy.
-[KISSING] -Okay. All right, thank you.
-Do you feel what I'm giving you? -Yeah, I felt it.
ZU: Yes...
As you know, before we get started,
-I'm gonna to need to see a little bit of... Right. -Oh!
BOTH: Ha-ha!
[RUDY LAUGHING]
Whoops.
Whoops.
This feels light.
Why does this feel light?
It's a little light.
You know it's not supposed to be a little light.
-It's a little light. -It can't be a little light!
You can't say, "It's a little light."
Do you have the rest in the backpack? Do you wanna give it to me now?
-I'm gonna be in this apartment rent-free. -Oh. [SIGHS]
My Grandma Millie has, like, fifty years of stuff
that's potentially worth something.
I'm gonna get your money.
-What do you say? -No. I say no.
Don't... Put the pen down. I say no!
I shouldn't even let you get this far...
Don't dance. Don't Thriller dance!
-Stop it. Stop! -[LAUGHING]
Listen to me, okay?
-Yes. -Do you understand how it works?
If you don't give me what I need, then I have to do something bad.
I don't wanna do something bad. Do you understand?
-I'm here, right? -[SIGHS WEARILY]
-I'm trying. I really am. -Trying?
-I'm trying. -We're all trying.
Oh, come on.
Can I just have a hundred?
[LAUGHING]
Come on!
-Twenty. And I'm only doing it because you make me laugh. -Boo.
You know what I mean?
Because I don't even want to do it, but I think it's funny.
-A hundred. Please. -A hundred's hilarious.
-Rudy. When have I ever let you down? -Regularly.
One second ago. Do you remember this?
You gave me this, and I said, "It's light," and you go, "A little light."
The whole thing that just happened. Do you not remember?
-Okay. -So this is what's gonna happen.
I'm gonna give you that twenty, you're gonna take it.
If you sell it, you get twenty more.
All right, hand out, palm up and close and kiss.
Of course.
'Cause it's transactional.
[WHISPERING] Shh! My mom is asleep
and she's going through a divorce. So she's...
staying with me. [SIGHS]
Did you get, uh, what I needed?
Two of everything?
Yeah, everything.
I figure then I could mix and I can serve a sample
and figure out what's gonna work.
She just complains incessantly,
and I'm literally reduced to when I was 14.
Is your mom still alive?
No.
Oh, lucky you.
EVELYN'S MOM: Evelyn, can you please change this channel?
I don't know how.
[WHISPERS] My sister loves that show.
You know, some people would say this is a gift
to be able to spend time with their mom...
-Oh. -...in retirement.
Wow, these are pretty. Which one is gonna make me feel, like, less hostile?
Blue.
-Oh. -You'll like the blue.
Blue? Great.
Evelyn, where is my food?
I'm starving. Could you please?
Yes, it's coming.
I called the guy five minutes ago, remember?
EVELYN'S MOTHER: Lose the tone.
Oh, um, my friend wants to talk to you.
Oh, no, I don't think I should bring on new customers right now.
-What? She's loaded. -No.
No, you need to make an exception.
I'm gonna give you her assistant's number.
Honey, this could be your ticket to paradise.
I... I already did that, sir.
Unfortunately, I do not qualify for their clinical trial.
Yes, but I cannot afford to stay alive at these prices.
How else am I supposed to afford my...
Sir, I... I need this medication.
Okay.
Thank you for your time.
Right. And if you are happy, press this one.
AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE: I am sad.
-Very funny, troublemaker. -[GIGGLES]
No, silly. If you are happy, which one? This one.
-I am happy. -Very good.
And if you are scared.
I am scared.
That is so good, Music.
I press that one myself sometimes
when I'm by myself.
-Okay, and this goes from this side... -ZU: Hey, you guys!
ZU: Yoo-hoo!
You guys, come see what I got!
EBO: What are you doing, sister?
What do you think I'm doing? I'm celebrating.
-Come down here. -[CHUCKLES]
All right, I'll admit it's not as big as it looked on the box,
but who cares?
We're about to have a pool party!
-AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE: I am happy. -ZU: Yes.
-[LAUGHING] Yes. -[EBO LAUGHS]
You wanna come in?
Music.
Do you want to put your hands in the water like this?
-[WATER SPLASHING] -Come on, come on.
Press this for yes, this for no.
No.
No? No! Yes!
EBO: You don't have to.
But it's so refreshing.
Come on, Music, come on.
-EBO: Yes or no? -No.
-ZU: Come on! -Very good, Music.
Oh, my gosh.
She knows what she wants.
Hey, what's going on down there?
Water is not free, you know?
[CHUCKLES] But we're setting it free, George.
Whoo!
ZU: Yes, George!

This is your place?
No, not yet.
It's just where I teach.
Boxing and self-defense.
My place would be smaller, better, more personal.
Music! Why don't you sit here?
Watch these fighters, let them know what they're doing wrong.
There'll be tournaments coming up next week.
You ever been to a boxing match before?
No, but I've been in plenty of fights.
[CHUCKLES] Hit this.
Hit it. [CLEARS THROAT]
Okay, I'm not...
Pull from your hip more. The back hip.
Oh.
Yeah, not bad.
I can do this!
I can do it. I can do it.
Do you have to, like, hate the person when you're fighting them?
You don't have to.
Depends on what motivates you.
What motivated you,
Mr. New York Zone Amateur Middleweight Regional Champion, 2007?
The desire to prove myself.
Oh.
So why did you stop?
It was my time.
ZU: See, maybe change is a good thing for her.
New routine, a little boxing,
everyone loves a walk in the park.
I'm not saying she doesn't want to change.
I'm saying she can't change.
Well, that's one thing we both have in common.
For her, each change comes with a barrage of new stimuli.
The headphones.
It's called audio filtering.
Her hearing is so sensitive she can hear whispering two rooms away.
What?
It's true.
ZU: Shut up, please.
ZU: ...your sister, who could use your love and care.
You won't remember this, but when she was little,
she clung to you like a koala bear,
like you were a tall eucalyptus tree.
She can understand everything you are saying to her.
Maybe not right then. How it works is she hears it...
MILLIE: There you go.
...she files it away,
and then sometimes it is returned
to her main system three weeks later.
MILLIE: There you go.
You know how she looks at you
and then looks away quickly?
She has taken a snapshot.
If she didn't look away,
it would totally overwhelm her.
[SNOW CONE MACHINE WHIRRING]
She sees the world in a completely different way from us.

Music.
Come on, Ebo, do that thing.
I'm not climbing on top of a small screaming white girl in the middle of this park.
-It's your turn. -My turn?
You can do this. I'll talk you through it.
-Go ahead. -I can't.
Okay, Music, it's okay.
Ouch! She's hitting me.
She doesn't know who she is hitting.
Okay, stop, stop.
EBO: Hold her tight. Squeeze her like a bear.
Okay. Okay, okay, okay. Shh.
-Hold her. -It's okay, it's okay. It's okay.
-Tell her she's safe. -It's okay, you're safe.
-You have to tell her like you believe it. -I don't believe it.
-[MUSIC CONTINUES MOANING] -Ugh! I can't do this!
Music. Okay. [SHUSHING]
It's okay, it's okay. [SHUSHING]

You're safe, you're with me.

You're fine?

Should we get a snow cone?
We'll get a snow cone.
[SIGHING IN RELIEF]
MUSIC: Rainbow.
You got it?
EBO: I think it's good you are here with her.
It's good for her,
you two being so close in age.
You think I'm close to her age?
Uh, emotionally.
-That's good. Oh! -Emotionally, you are very close in age.
You are, mm, nine, eight...
-I am twice her age. -Okay.
My mistake.
-[CHUCKLES] -What?
What's so funny?
-What? -You act like a child.
That's nice of you. Is that a compliment?
Are you complimenting me?
Maybe.
What is that?
Oh, it's Raindrop.
My spirit animal.
EBO: Okay.
How long do you think you and Raindrop will stay?
Here? I don't know.
As long as it takes to tie up some loose ends
and then I need to get my ticket to paradise.
What about you?
Me?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] I'm quite comfortable here.
Look, don't give me that.
I think you're sad.
EBO: [SIGHS] What is this?
Not again, eh?
[LAUGHS]
ZU: Perfect timing.
-The whole block is dark again. -Saved by the blackout.
-Does Millie have a lantern? -Lantern?
What am I, a headless horseman?
Well, look at that.
A lantern, smart-ass.
[LAUGHING]
Okay. All right.
Are you gonna tell me your sad story
or am I gonna have to guess?
All right.
My wife,
ex-wife,
left me for my brother.
That's it?
That's it for now.
I'll tell you the rest another time.
What about you?
My turn.
See that scar?
You know how I got it?
Falling off the fire escape.
George told me.
Oh, George. Right.
Maybe George doesn't know the entire story.
Maybe my plan the entire time
was to climb up there and jump off.
And maybe on my way up,
I just...
I just couldn't do it.
So...
Thank you for having me.
[MUSIC GIGGLES]
I should be leaving.
Oh, don't go.

You know when you meet a really good person
and you're so impressed with how good they are that you just think to yourself,
"I'm just terrible"?
If I didn't know any better,
I would swear that you were coming to me for love advice.
I am insecure

I am immature

EBO: When you see trouble coming,
better learn to move out of the way.
Just like life.
It can be just as important to get out of the way of a punch
as it is to throw one.
You're in the hospital.
You just lost an eye.
And you? Where are you?
You're somewhere else completely.
Maybe you are an artist.

You know, you should visit me
'cause the beaches in Costa Rica are beautiful.
And you can camp on them and stay on them forever.
Do you speak Spanish?
I didn't speak English, but picked that up pretty good.
That sounds so nice.
It's a song Millie wrote.
No, I... I know.
-I know that one. -Come sing it with me.
No, I gotta clean some stuff up.
Sister, come, come.
No, because I'm gonna sing,
and then you're gonna be like,
"Oh, you should've been a singer."
-I'll risk it. -"And I would be like, I know that, but..."
Do you need to look at the words?
I know the words.
'Cause my mom always sang it to us.

-I received something today. -ZU: Hmm?
From my brother.
Your brother, the one marrying the ex-wife?
Oh, this is nice.
Why are you carrying this around in your wallet?
As a reminder to go to the wedding.
-To murder him? -He's my brother.
I'm going to wish him well.
Oh...
-Wish him well? -I'm past it, right?
I'm going to stand there and I'm going to smile
and wave like this.
Like that? Don't wave like that.
Hello, everyone.

All right, Mr. Nice Guy.
It's the truth.
I mean it.
Okay.
I'm coming with you.
That's the plan.
We're coming. Music and me.
We're going to be your dates.
And we're not only gonna smile and wave like this,
we're going to give a big toast.
You can play a song or two.
I can get wasted on club soda and cran.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
I like that plan.
Good.
MUSIC: Go to bed.
I think she's trying to tell us something.
Big day tomorrow.

I probably should.
Get some sleep.
Or I could stay.
Go to bed.

So, like, from now until 4:30?
No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no, no.
Oh, pretty please?
Look, you were two hours late last time.
Come on, this is your responsibility.
-Grow up. -[SIGHS]
I thought that's what I was doing.
ZU: Okay, I do not feel good
about bringing you along here with me today.
Can we try not to have one of your freak-outs up there, all right?
Like, I do not know these people,
but apparently, they're loaded,
and I'd really like to keep them as clients.
So can we get it out now?
-Just, like, if you can try to get it out now... -Uh...
Okay.

What are you looking for?
We're looking for Percocet, morphine, Dilaudid and Oxycontin.
I have some of those, but I don't have all of them.
Actually, that's really expensive art.
-Oh. Oh, yes. Sorry. -It's not...
Don't hold on.

We got it. We got it. Let's just...
Let's just... Okay. Sorry. That's, like, fake hair.

Because I have only...
Is that a Sia wig?
Sia? No.
-Is she here? -No.
SIA: Who's that? Drug dealer?

Are you the drug dealer?
Yes. Hi.
Can I be of service?
SIA: Hi. ZU: Hi.
SIA: Hi. ZU: I, uh...
She's the drug dealer.
HAYLEY: Yeah, she's the drug dealer.
SIA: Evelyn says you're, uh, an angel of drugs.
Yeah. And you're having a party?
[CHUCKLES] No. Oh, no.
Those days are... Whoop! Um, we're doing charity now. That's right.
You know what we're gonna do with the drugs we buy from you?
We're gonna send them to Haiti 'cause there's been an earthquake.
-Oh, yeah. -Yeah.
All these buildings fell down and children's bones were dislocated and...
It's really sad.
Yeah. Now they're trying to put them back together,
and they've only got Tylenol.
There's all this red tape, even the Red Cross can't get in.
And that's where you come in. I'm gonna buy a shitload of pain meds
and put them on my private plane.
[SIA IMITATES AIRPLANE ENGINE]
Charity. Yep. It's a good day for a drug dealer, isn't it?
So whatever you can get before tomorrow, we'll buy.

Did you just ask me about my... What did you say?
Did you ask me about this?
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said, "You had a cool outfit on."
I'm so sorry. That's so embarrassing.
-It looks great. -Oh. This?
-Yeah. You look... -Why would you even do that?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
I guess, oh. It came with a matching hat.
But I'm, like, "Don't do it, Rudy."
-Because I just... It's too much, right? -Totally.
Too much. It's too much. Too much.
Too much. I know. So I knew it would be too much.
Can you do me a favor, by the way?
Since you're in my debt, could you please deliver this for me?

It's what the kids with HIV are doing.

MAN: And now, the brother of the groom.
I'd like to offer something to the beautiful couple.
I love you both.
And I want you to be happy.
Love is complicated, yes?
I used to think I knew what love was.
Now I'm not so sure.
But one thing I am sure of,
I'm happy for you.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Hi, I need to talk to you.
-EBO: What are you doing here? -I, uh...
I quit my job.
And I'm sober.
I've been sober ever since that night.
Every time I think about that night, I just wanna die.
-Forget that. -No, we don't forget that.
And I know I'm not supposed to say this,
that I'm never not gonna be sober,
but I'll never not be sober again.
I almost gave Music away to strangers today.
Almost left her.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm gonna stay and I'm going to help her
just like she helps me
because I love her.
And I think that's what you do when you love someone.
And I'm actually learning how to love someone.
Me, too.
[LAUGHING]
EBO: So...
Zu, this is my family.
-My family, this is Zu... -Hi.

We should do the song.
Stay here, stay here. Uh...

Um, let me call you right back.
Let me... Let me call you back.
Did your grandmother really just die?
Yeah, it's fine. I don't really know her very well.
Hey, do I have to do something to get one of those or can I just...
-Buy one? -You earn these.
I have to earn it.
Yeah, that's true.
That's how you do it.
I feel like that's kind of what I'm doing here.

Hey, George.

-Hey! -[MUMBLES]
[SIGHS] It's been a while.
Nothing's really changed, huh, George?
Your grandmother left these papers in case of emergency.
Don't know what's in 'em. Rent's paid for 30 days.
She didn't happen to mention a will, did she, George?
[OBJECTS CLATTERING]
Oh, jeez. George, what did I ever do to you?
Well, for starters, you broke into my apartment.
Here we go. I made a mistake.
I thought it was my grandma's.
Then you tried to steal my television set.
I did steal your television set,
and I'm... I'm really sorry about that.
And then you fell off my fire escape.
Okay, First of all, I was drunk.
And high. Really high.
And second, I just wish you weren't still mad about that.
It was years ago.
That was five months ago.
Hey, I'm serving the time.
Look, you're gonna like this.
I'm one of you now.
GEORGE: Hmm.
Besides, my brief stay with the state was an eye-opener for me.
I am motivated now.
I'm a better person now.
-And I've got a plan. -Hmm.

I've got a plan, too. I'm going home. Been a rough day.

No, we don't do pick up.

Trust me.
I'm going to crush you now, and make you feel safe.
[MUSIC SCREAMING]
-Come on. -You're not hurting her, are you?
No, I'm not. I'm crushing her with my love.
-She will be all right. -[MUSIC MOANING]
[MUSIC SCREAMS]
I don't like that.
I don't like that.
[MUSIC MOANS]
You cannot hit yourself like that, Music.
-EBO: Okay? -[WHIMPERING]
Your friend Ebo doesn't want to see you hurt yourself like that.
-All right? -[STOPS CRYING]
How about some chewing gum? I know where you keep it.
[SOFTLY] Braid your hair.
Braid your hair.
All right.
I think I can do that.
[WHIMPERING]
Let's go.
It's all right.
Sit here.
Chewing gum.
As I was saying, I live next door.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I knew Millie very well.
If there is anything I can offer...
to help you in your time of need,
just let me know.
Can you move in?
[CHUCKLES]
I am close by.
All right, Music.
Let's get you a braid.
-[SIGHING] -EBO: Okay.
-And the blue one goes on this side. -[CHUCKLES]
EBO: I know that.
-EBO: Okay. -[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Let's get the other side.
[LAUGHING]
Ebo?
Ebo, yes. E-B-O.
And you are?
Really stressed out.
I'm really stressed out. [LAUGHS]
No, I'm Zu.
-Zoo? -Zu.
Kazu, but Zu, with a U.
-Z-U. -Z-U.
Zu.
All right, Music.
-We are all done. -[EXCLAIMS]
Very impressive.
EBO: It is nothing.
Right, this way, Music.
Okay.
Do you know how often she's been having episodes?
I've only lived here, like, ten hours,
so, no.
That is true.
Oh, but Millie wrote a bunch of stuff down on, um...
In a... In a book.
And, uh...
EBO: Music, I cannot imagine what you must be feeling today.
ZU: Maybe that'll be helpful.
Okay.
[EXHALES]
So this is the book and...
[EXHALES]
Her whole life's a schedule.
She takes a walk each morning.
-Oh. -We have it coordinated.
I can go with you if you'd like, show you the route she takes.
-If you'd like. -[DOOR CLOSES]
-Where's she... Where's she going? -Walk.
[ZU SIGHS]
ZU: Oh, thanks.
[EXHALES]
I keep sweating, and you're the one who did all the work.
How do you know how to calm her down?
How do you do that?
In Ghana, my younger brother was the same way.
-NASSIR: Little Miss Muffet. -He liked to be held to feel safe.
Where is he now?
He is dead now.
-Oh, I'm sorry. -It's all right.
Special needs are not well understood in my country.
In fact, in my village, it was considered a curse.
Greenwich Village?
No, not... Definitely not Greenwich Village. [LAUGHS]
Aah...
ZU: Are you always stoned?
Are you just the smiliest person on Earth?
No, I don't take drugs.
Me neither, actually.
But that's just 'cause I took way too many. [CHUCKLES]
So I'm not allowed to take them anymore.
So the same, but opposite.
Okay.
She's allergic to bees, penicillin and nuts.
Your grandma kept thorough records.
Yeah, well, she wasn't much of a thrower-awayer.
EBO: No bed-wetting for two years.
ZU: Is that what she's keeping track of?
[PLEASANT MUSIC PLAYING]
MUSIC: Uh...
Hmm?
I wet the bed four months ago.
Were you close with her?
No, no. We were not close.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Who's close with their grandma?
I spoke to my grandmother this morning.
-Of course you did. -MUSIC: Uh... Uh...
EBO: So many phones.
What do you do?
What don't I do?
That's the... That's the question.
Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get to paradise, so...
Where is paradise?
Costa Rica.
Gonna get a plot of land, live by the ocean,
grow my own food,
teach yoga.
Paradise.
You teach yoga?
What don't I do?
What, so you do teach yoga?
Well, I mean, I can stand on my head and I can...
you know, play dead.
Isn't that kind of what you need to know?
EBO: [CHUCKLES] I think it's a little more than that.
Yeah, well, those who cannot do, teach.
So I think I'm overqualified.
How about you?
How can you afford this grand palace?
I teach...
[CHUCKLES]
...boxing to kids.
Great.
ZU: I'm hungry. You want to go get something to eat?
And I forgot my wallet, which means you'll have to get it,
and then I can do it next time.
[CHUCKLES] I can't right now, but, um,
maybe later I can stop by and help out with Music.
Oh, I was actually planning on sending her to a people pound later,
but guess I'll keep her a little longer.
Oh, my God. Did you think I was...
I'm not serious.
-I mean, I'm... Well, kind of... -Hey.
-I didn't mean it like that. -I know.
Gotcha.
I'm getting you.
There's a dark girl vibe you got going on.
-See you later. -I'm not that dark.
All right.
FELIX'S DAD: You're late again.
Remind me why we adopt this...
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Let's see if we can shake some cash out of this old rat trap, huh, Music?
What's behind door number one?
[FUNKY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[EXHALES]
No.
That is way too easy.

-You remember Raindrop? -[CRYING]
Maybe you were too little.
Raindrop was my dog.
He had seizures, too, just like you.
And then he was hit by a car.
Because Mom... Mom left the door open.
You remember Mom?
She was a junkie.

No. I remember when mi abuela died,
I was a mess for, like, a year.
-Mi abuela? -Yeah.
-No, I don't mind that she's... -Just let it out.
You need to let it out. You need to let it out. You need to scream.
You need to say something. Tell me how you feel.
-Let it out. Yes. -I don't need to scream out.
No, really. I mean, I know I'm not supposed to say this out loud, but...
[SOFTLY] I don't care.
You're not processing it yet.
-No, I can prove it. -You'll process on your own time.
-I don't... -You process on your own time, okay?
-I don't... -You will. Do you hear me?
-You're going to process on your own time. -I don't care, Rudy.
-[KISSING] -Okay. All right, thank you.
-Do you feel what I'm giving you? -Yeah, I felt it.

As you know, before we get started,
-I'm gonna to need to see a little bit of... Right. -Oh!
BOTH: Ha-ha!
[RUDY LAUGHING]
Whoops.
Whoops.
This feels light.
Why does this feel light?
It's a little light.
You know it's not supposed to be a little light.
-It's a little light. -It can't be a little light!
You can't say, "It's a little light."
Do you have the rest in the backpack? Do you wanna give it to me now?
-I'm gonna be in this apartment rent-free. -Oh. [SIGHS]
My Grandma Millie has, like, fifty years of stuff
that's potentially worth something.
I'm gonna get your money.
-What do you say? -No. I say no.
Don't... Put the pen down. I say no!
I shouldn't even let you get this far...
Don't dance. Don't Thriller dance!
-Stop it. Stop! -[LAUGHING]
Listen to me, okay?
-Yes. -Do you understand how it works?
If you don't give me what I need, then I have to do something bad.
I don't wanna do something bad. Do you understand?
-I'm here, right? -[SIGHS WEARILY]
-I'm trying. I really am. -Trying?
-I'm trying. -We're all trying.
Oh, come on.
Can I just have a hundred?
[LAUGHING]
Come on!
-Twenty. And I'm only doing it because you make me laugh. -Boo.
You know what I mean?
Because I don't even want to do it, but I think it's funny.
-A hundred. Please. -A hundred's hilarious.
-Rudy. When have I ever let you down? -Regularly.
One second ago. Do you remember this?
You gave me this, and I said, "It's light," and you go, "A little light."
The whole thing that just happened. Do you not remember?
-Okay. -So this is what's gonna happen.
I'm gonna give you that twenty, you're gonna take it.
If you sell it, you get twenty more.
All right, hand out, palm up and close and kiss.
Of course.
'Cause it's transactional.
[WHISPERING] Shh! My mom is asleep
and she's going through a divorce. So she's...
staying with me. [SIGHS]
Did you get, uh, what I needed?
Two of everything?
Yeah, everything.
I figure then I could mix and I can serve a sample
and figure out what's gonna work.
She just complains incessantly,
and I'm literally reduced to when I was 14.
Is your mom still alive?
No.
Oh, lucky you.
EVELYN'S MOM: Evelyn, can you please change this channel?
I don't know how.
[WHISPERS] My sister loves that show.
You know, some people would say this is a gift
to be able to spend time with their mom...
-Oh. -...in retirement.
Wow, these are pretty. Which one is gonna make me feel, like, less hostile?
Blue.
-Oh. -You'll like the blue.
Blue? Great.
Evelyn, where is my food?
I'm starving. Could you please?
Yes, it's coming.
I called the guy five minutes ago, remember?
EVELYN'S MOTHER: Lose the tone.
Oh, um, my friend wants to talk to you.
Oh, no, I don't think I should bring on new customers right now.
-What? She's loaded. -No.
No, you need to make an exception.
I'm gonna give you her assistant's number.
Honey, this could be your ticket to paradise.
I... I already did that, sir.
Unfortunately, I do not qualify for their clinical trial.
Yes, but I cannot afford to stay alive at these prices.
How else am I supposed to afford my...
Sir, I... I need this medication.
Okay.
Thank you for your time.
Right. And if you are happy, press this one.
AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE: I am sad.
-Very funny, troublemaker. -[GIGGLES]
No, silly. If you are happy, which one? This one.
-I am happy. -Very good.
And if you are scared.
I am scared.
That is so good, Music.
I press that one myself sometimes
when I'm by myself.
-Okay, and this goes from this side... -ZU: Hey, you guys!
ZU: Yoo-hoo!
You guys, come see what I got!
EBO: What are you doing, sister?
What do you think I'm doing? I'm celebrating.
-Come down here. -[CHUCKLES]
All right, I'll admit it's not as big as it looked on the box,
but who cares?
We're about to have a pool party!
-AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE: I am happy. -ZU: Yes.
-[LAUGHING] Yes. -[EBO LAUGHS]
You wanna come in?
Music.
Do you want to put your hands in the water like this?
-[WATER SPLASHING] -Come on, come on.
Press this for yes, this for no.
No.
No? No! Yes!
EBO: You don't have to.
But it's so refreshing.
Come on, Music, come on.
-EBO: Yes or no? -No.
-ZU: Come on! -Very good, Music.
Oh, my gosh.
She knows what she wants.
Hey, what's going on down there?
Water is not free, you know?
[CHUCKLES] But we're setting it free, George.
Whoo!
ZU: Yes, George!
Come on, guys, it'll be fun.

This is your place?
No, not yet.
It's just where I teach.
Boxing and self-defense.
My place would be smaller, better, more personal.
Music! Why don't you sit here?
Watch these fighters, let them know what they're doing wrong.
There'll be tournaments coming up next week.
You ever been to a boxing match before?
No, but I've been in plenty of fights.
[CHUCKLES] Hit this.
Hit it. [CLEARS THROAT]
Okay, I'm not...
Pull from your hip more. The back hip.
Oh.
Yeah, not bad.
I can do this!
I can do it. I can do it.
Do you have to, like, hate the person when you're fighting them?
You don't have to.
Depends on what motivates you.
What motivated you,
Mr. New York Zone Amateur Middleweight Regional Champion, 2007?
The desire to prove myself.
Oh.
So why did you stop?
It was my time.
ZU: See, maybe change is a good thing for her.
New routine, a little boxing,
everyone loves a walk in the park.
I'm not saying she doesn't want to change.
I'm saying she can't change.
Well, that's one thing we both have in common.
For her, each change comes with a barrage of new stimuli.
The headphones.
It's called audio filtering.
Her hearing is so sensitive she can hear whispering two rooms away.
What?
It's true.
ZU: Shut up, please.
ZU: ...your sister, who could use your love and care.
You won't remember this, but when she was little,
she clung to you like a koala bear,
like you were a tall eucalyptus tree.
She can understand everything you are saying to her.
Maybe not right then. How it works is she hears it...
MILLIE: There you go.
...she files it away,
and then sometimes it is returned
to her main system three weeks later.
MILLIE: There you go.
You know how she looks at you
and then looks away quickly?
She has taken a snapshot.
If she didn't look away,
it would totally overwhelm her.
[SNOW CONE MACHINE WHIRRING]
She sees the world in a completely different way from us.
[CAPTIVATING MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHILDREN SCREAMING]
[MUSIC MOANING]
[CHILDREN SQUEALING]
[MUSIC YELLING]
ZU: Oh... Oh, God.
Music.
Come on, Ebo, do that thing.
I'm not climbing on top of a small screaming white girl in the middle of this park.
-It's your turn. -My turn?
You can do this. I'll talk you through it.
-Go ahead. -I can't.
Okay, Music, it's okay.
Ouch! She's hitting me.
She doesn't know who she is hitting.
Okay, stop, stop.
EBO: Hold her tight. Squeeze her like a bear.
Okay. Okay, okay, okay. Shh.
-Hold her. -It's okay, it's okay. It's okay.
-Tell her she's safe. -It's okay, you're safe.
-You have to tell her like you believe it. -I don't believe it.
-[MUSIC CONTINUES MOANING] -Ugh! I can't do this!
Music. Okay. [SHUSHING]
It's okay, it's okay. [SHUSHING]
Okay, you're safe.
You're safe, you're with me.
-[MOANING QUIETENS] -You're okay. It's your sister.
[PEOPLE MURMURING]
EBO: It's all right.
Thank you.
You're fine?
Better?
Should we get a snow cone?
We'll get a snow cone.
[SIGHING IN RELIEF]
MUSIC: Rainbow.
You got it?
EBO: I think it's good you are here with her.
It's good for her,
you two being so close in age.
You think I'm close to her age?
Uh, emotionally.
-That's good. Oh! -Emotionally, you are very close in age.
You are, mm, nine, eight...
-I am twice her age. -Okay.
My mistake.
-[CHUCKLES] -What?
What's so funny?
-What? -You act like a child.
That's nice of you. Is that a compliment?
Are you complimenting me?
Maybe.
What is that?
Oh, it's Raindrop.
My spirit animal.
EBO: Okay.
How long do you think you and Raindrop will stay?
Here? I don't know.
As long as it takes to tie up some loose ends
and then I need to get my ticket to paradise.
What about you?
Me?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] I'm quite comfortable here.
Look, don't give me that.
I think you're sad.
EBO: [SIGHS] What is this?
Not again, eh?
[LAUGHS]
ZU: Perfect timing.
-The whole block is dark again. -Saved by the blackout.
-Does Millie have a lantern? -Lantern?
What am I, a headless horseman?
Well, look at that.
A lantern, smart-ass.
[LAUGHING]
Okay. All right.
Are you gonna tell me your sad story
or am I gonna have to guess?
All right.
My wife,
ex-wife,
left me for my brother.
That's it?
That's it for now.
I'll tell you the rest another time.
What about you?
My turn.
See that scar?
You know how I got it?
Falling off the fire escape.
George told me.
Oh, George. Right.
Maybe George doesn't know the entire story.
Maybe my plan the entire time
was to climb up there and jump off.
And maybe on my way up,
I just...
I just couldn't do it.
So...
Thank you for having me.
[MUSIC GIGGLES]
I should be leaving.
Oh, don't go.
[GIGGLING]
ZU: I wanna give you something.
[LAUGHING]
Bum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-bum Bum-bum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-bum Bum-bum-bum-bum
I need your love tonight
I don't need to tell lies
Is it safe To let you in my life?
When I want to run and hide
I want to run and hide
I see myself tonight
I'm so damn terrified
Should I risk it all On you and I
When I want to run and hide?
When I want to run and hide?
Have you already left?
Have you already left?
Did I bring you emptiness?
Did I bring on happiness?
Have you already left?
Have you already left?
Did I bring you emptiness?
Did I bring on happiness?
[ZU SIGHS]
What are we...
[SIGHS]
You know when you meet a really good person
and you're so impressed with how good they are that you just think to yourself,
"I'm just terrible"?
If I didn't know any better,
I would swear that you were coming to me for love advice.
I am insecure
Maybe I'm just insecure
I am immature
Maybe I'm just immature
When I'm into you
Baby, I am Into you
I am insecure
Maybe I'm just insecure
Maybe I'm just insecure
Maybe I'm just insecure...
EBO: When you see trouble coming,
better learn to move out of the way.
Just like life.
It can be just as important to get out of the way of a punch
as it is to throw one.
You're in the hospital.
You just lost an eye.
And you? Where are you?
You're somewhere else completely.
Maybe you are an artist.
Picasso.
[DOG WHIMPERING]
We're all insecure
Humans, we're so insecure
But we are so pure
Humans, we're so insecure
I think love's the cure
I think that love is the cure
We're all insecure
Humans, we're so insecure
Humans, we're so insecure
Humans, we're so insecure
-[KNOCKING] -FELIX'S DAD: Why are you still awake?
You have a big fight coming up.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
You know, you should visit me
'cause the beaches in Costa Rica are beautiful.
And you can camp on them and stay on them forever.
Do you speak Spanish?
I didn't speak English, but picked that up pretty good.
That sounds so nice.
It's a song Millie wrote.
No, I... I know.
-I know that one. -Come sing it with me.
No, I gotta clean some stuff up.
Sister, come, come.
No, because I'm gonna sing,
and then you're gonna be like,
"Oh, you should've been a singer."
-I'll risk it. -"And I would be like, I know that, but..."
Do you need to look at the words?
I know the words.
'Cause my mom always sang it to us.
-Here we go. -Okay.
[PLAYING PIANO]
Music
Is the soothing saint
-Wow. -[MUSIC GIGGLING]
Use me to feel all your pain
I'm all yours
Music
I'm your dearest friend
I'm here
When there's nothing left
EBO: It's good.
I'm your score
[LOUD THUMP ON PIANO]
-EBO: Uh... -[LAUGHING]
Ugh. This apartment's like a fucking sauna.
EBO: You should have been a singer, sister.
[ZU LAUGHS]
-It was beautiful. -Mm.
-I received something today. -ZU: Hmm?
From my brother.
Your brother, the one marrying the ex-wife?
Oh, this is nice.
Why are you carrying this around in your wallet?
As a reminder to go to the wedding.
-To murder him? -He's my brother.
I'm going to wish him well.
Oh...
-Wish him well? -I'm past it, right?
I'm going to stand there and I'm going to smile
and wave like this.
Like that? Don't wave like that.
Hello, everyone.
[LAUGHING]
All right, Mr. Nice Guy.
It's the truth.
I mean it.
Okay.
I'm coming with you.
That's the plan.
We're coming. Music and me.
We're going to be your dates.
And we're not only gonna smile and wave like this,
we're going to give a big toast.
You can play a song or two.
I can get wasted on club soda and cran.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
I like that plan.
Good.
MUSIC: Go to bed.
I think she's trying to tell us something.
Big day tomorrow.
Is it?
ZU: Hmm.
Then you should... go.
I probably should.
Get some sleep.
Or I could stay.
Go to bed.
[GIGGLES]
AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE: I am happy.
I am sad.
If I ride light, do I fall?
Do I fly so hard to move In the flames of the night?
Watching the dust as it falls
And it settles on my face
There's no sound now
And the quiet Is just me and my thoughts
And they scream out Saying nothing
And I'm bound to
My last penny
Lover left me
Thought I died And ended up in hell
But the heat brings relief
Beautiful things Can happen anywhere
My last penny, lover left me
Thought I died And ended up in hell
But the heat brings relief
Beautiful things Can happen anywhere
They can happen anywhere
They can happen anywhere
-MUSIC: Make you eggs. -Oh, yikes.
Make you eggs. Make you eggs.
Oh, God.
George. Just the man I'm looking for.
-Yeah. -I was talking with Music
and she was saying how she wants to spend a lot more time with you.
So, like, from now until 4:30?
No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no, no.
Oh, pretty please?
Look, you were two hours late last time.
Come on, this is your responsibility.
-Grow up. -[SIGHS]
I thought that's what I was doing.
ZU: Okay, I do not feel good
about bringing you along here with me today.
Can we try not to have one of your freak-outs up there, all right?
Like, I do not know these people,
but apparently, they're loaded,
and I'd really like to keep them as clients.
So can we get it out now?
-Just, like, if you can try to get it out now... -Uh...
Okay.
All right.
HAYLEY: Yes, no problem. She will call you right back.
-Excuse me. Hi. -Delivery?
Uh, yes. I'm actually a friend of Evelyn's.
-Oh. -[MUSIC GRUNTS]
Oh, Music. Music.
Music, come sit down.
Just sit right there.
Sorry.
-Uh... -Okay, so...
What are you looking for?
We're looking for Percocet, morphine, Dilaudid and Oxycontin.
I have some of those, but I don't have all of them.
Actually, that's really expensive art.
-Oh. Oh, yes. Sorry. -It's not...
Don't hold on.
Yeah. No, she's fine. She's fine.
We got it. We got it. Let's just...
Let's just... Okay. Sorry. That's, like, fake hair.
Sit down now.
All right, we're almost out of here.
All right. How much do you need?
Because I have only...
Is that a Sia wig?
Sia? No.
-Is she here? -No.
SIA: Who's that? Drug dealer?
ZU: I... SIA: Drug dealer, is that you?
Are you the drug dealer?
Yes. Hi.
Can I be of service?
SIA: Hi. ZU: Hi.
SIA: Hi. ZU: I, uh...
She's the drug dealer.
HAYLEY: Yeah, she's the drug dealer.
SIA: Evelyn says you're, uh, an angel of drugs.
Yeah. And you're having a party?
[CHUCKLES] No. Oh, no.
Those days are... Whoop! Um, we're doing charity now. That's right.
You know what we're gonna do with the drugs we buy from you?
We're gonna send them to Haiti 'cause there's been an earthquake.
-Oh, yeah. -Yeah.
All these buildings fell down and children's bones were dislocated and...
It's really sad.
Yeah. Now they're trying to put them back together,
and they've only got Tylenol.
There's all this red tape, even the Red Cross can't get in.
And that's where you come in. I'm gonna buy a shitload of pain meds
and put them on my private plane.
[SIA IMITATES AIRPLANE ENGINE]
Charity. Yep. It's a good day for a drug dealer, isn't it?
So whatever you can get before tomorrow, we'll buy.
-All right? -Really?
-Yep. -Okay.
Popstars Without Borders.
[ZU CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
I made that up.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[MUSIC HUMMING]
When I feel all alone Inside my head
The angels Come to me in dreams
There's nothing now For you to do here
Just be here now Be here with me
I know I'm scared To let it out
Yeah, get it out And start flying
But when we try To push it down
Pretend we're fine Instead of crying
So now we got to feel it all
Just let it go, let's try it
There's beauty inside
Beauty inside us all
Come take a trip Into my magic life
The lights are so bright here
Come take a trip Into my magic mind
Yeah, everything's right here
Look in the mirror Leave my fear behind
I live my life in here In here
I've no fear in here
I've no fear now
I see you dancing here In front of me
I see you need my love And I
I know that others See you differently
But I see music in your eyes
And I might never Wanna say goodbye
Spare me, I'm falling
For the little one I love inside
Baby, I'm falling
Am I letting go of paradise?
'Cause I hear you're walking
Can I love with no fear?
Can I love with no fear?
Can I love with no fear?
Can I love with no fear?
Can I love with no fear?
Can I love with no fear?
So it's an entirely new system.
Each customer gets a color,
each bag gets a code name and a location.
Uh-huh.
It's called Kaizen, Japanese philosophy of business efficiency.
And I am nailing it. I feel like I'm just crushing it.
-Great. -I feel like I have it down.
-Rudy? -Yeah?
I need 100, 100 and 500.
And can you front me for the time being?
I don't know.
-Rudy? -Yeah.
-Baby, baby, baby. -A hundred and 100 and...
This isn't gonna end well.
Oh, Rudy.
I thought you were my friend.
Okay.
Okay. Here.
Now, I know that you're playing me,
but if you're thinking about leaving town
or skipping out on me in any way, don't.
I'll get it
and then I am out.
Thank you.
-What? -Hmm?
Did you just ask me about my... What did you say?
Did you ask me about this?
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said, "You had a cool outfit on."
I'm so sorry. That's so embarrassing.
-It looks great. -Oh. This?
-Yeah. You look... -Why would you even do that?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
I guess, oh. It came with a matching hat.
But I'm, like, "Don't do it, Rudy."
-Because I just... It's too much, right? -Totally.
Too much. It's too much. Too much.
Too much. I know. So I knew it would be too much.
Can you do me a favor, by the way?
Since you're in my debt, could you please deliver this for me?
-What's this? -That is Triomune.
Ah, is that, like, what the kids are doing these days?
It's what the kids with HIV are doing.
It's an emerging market.
Oh, I feel... [CHUCKLES] I feel like an ass.
That stuff, that stuff I just gave you
is probably the only reason why I'm getting into heaven. You know what I mean?
ZU: Hey.
Hey, you disappeared on me the other night.
Um, I have a couple of errands I'm gonna run,
and then I'm gonna see you at the... The tournament.
[BELL DINGS]
[WHISTLES] Hey.
Zu, where do you think you're going?
Sorry I'm late, George.
You're three hours late.
I know, I know. I got... I... I got one more thing I need to do.
Just one more thing. I'll be super quick, George.
You come take care of her right now.
-Please. -Right now.
ZU: Come on. Keep up, Music.
MUSIC: Rainbow.
Rainbow.
-Rainbow. -[SIGHING] Oh, God.
Okay, one rainbow. One rainbow, Music.
And we gotta get out of here.
All right.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
No, no, no, no, no! Ew! Ew! Music!
Get up. Get up.
Come here.
Spit it out.
Spit it out, spit it out.
Spit it out. Ugh.
So disgusting.
[BEE BUZZING]
Ah!
What's the matter?
-[MOANING IN PAIN] -Okay, okay.
Oh, oh, oh. No, no, no. Don't do that. Don't do that.
-Is she allergic? -I don't know.
Okay.
Come on, let's get up. Let's get up. Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go, come on. Shh.
I need help. I need help. Please, someone.
Please help me. Help, please!
-I need Epi, 0.2 milligram. -ZU: She's allergic.
-ZU: It's okay, it's okay. -[MUSIC SOBBING]
Oh, my God!
[CRYING]
ANNOUNCER: Your attention please.
Our next fighters will be Felix Chang vs Tanner Rojas.
Beginners level, three rounds.
All right, listen, Picasso,
sometimes we have to be places we don't want to be
and do things we don't want to do.
Just a few quick rounds.
I don't know what you are doing here,
or what you are trying to prove
or to whom.
But you are a good kid,
and I'm proud of you just for showing up.
You can do this.
Just stay inside on him.
If he can't reach you, he can't hit you.
All right? You've got this. You can do this.
[DINGING]
[FELIX'S DAD SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[FELIX'S MOM SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
This is a good boy.
Knock him out!
ZU: I thought she was gonna die.
NURSE: Well, she did have an EpiPen in her pouch.
Also, I had a question about your insurance forms.
You left your occupation blank.
Yeah, um...
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
No, no!
Damn it!
-Shit. -[SIREN CHIRPS]
We're fine. Just looking for my bag.

Okay? I... I wanted to talk about this in person.

-I just, I feel like... -I wanted to...
This might be too much for me.
I don't...
-Yeah. -I don't think I can do this.
Ex... Yes.
Exactly.
It's exactly that's, uh...
Are you... Are you drunk?
No. Maybe.
-Yes. [CHUCKLES] -Okay, I think...
Listen, here's the thing. I don't even care about AIDS.
I don't care.
We should get you home.
-I am home. -Please.
This is my home. This is the hallway of the home.
Where is Music?
-Who is watching her? -She's sleeping.
She's fine.
She can take care of herself.
No, she can't!

Music is the soothing saint
Use me to feel all your pain
I'm all yours
These syllables are daffodils
And dollar bills From the bottom of my heart
To your poor soul
And with each note You'll know
With each chord Each cushioned door
I won't let you down
We're together now
And in its symphony
I hold you close to me
Like strings of wool
We fell in love
These miracles are daffodils
And dollar bills From the bottom of my heart
To your poor soul
And with each note You'll know
With each chord Each cushioned door
I won't let you down
We're together now
You're really beautiful.
I love your suit. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Uh...
Make you eggs.
[SIGHS]
Hello, Music.
I missed you at the...
-Oh, my God! -I know.
[SOBBING] Ebo. Ebo.
What happened to your face?
I'm so sorry.
Sit down.
I don't... I don't remem... I don't remember what happened.
I just keep fucking up.
I just keep messing up and messing up and messing up.
It's just no good.
I woke up
and she'd wet herself.
There's a reason I don't drink.
Honestly, Ebo, you should just go.
I'm bad news.
I like you so much.
I have...
kept myself hidden for so long.
And, uh, I thought I could maybe feel safe with you.
I'm so sorry.
It's just no good.
-And I... -I'm a terrible person.
I have to think about my health.
So you can't feel safe with me...
obviously, so I will...
leave you to work this out with your family.
-[DOOR CLOSES] -I have no one.
I have no one.
Oh, God.
[SOBS]
Oh!
[HUMMING]
Yeah.
I need help.
Please help.
Let's get you cleaned up.
Come on.
-I'm sorry, George. -Come on, kiddo.
WOMAN: I think I drank and used because I thought I was gonna die of loneliness.
Here ain't no rocky ground
I put one million down
When you walk I kiss the ground...
-Uh... -Sorry.
Hey, hey, I love you
What we gotta lose What we gotta move
I move mountains
I can see it through I can do it, too
Like a prophet
What we gotta lose What we gotta move
I move mountains
I'll do anything for you Anything to move
Move, mountains
Sing it!
Mountains, mountains
Mountains, mountains...
And how many days clean?
Thirty... days.
All right, We'll just see about that, won't we?
And I know that I'm in absolutely no position
to ask for any favors,
but I've been through hell recently
and came out the other side ready to work.
Pay my debts.
I'm begging you.
I'll get you your money, okay?
Ugh, please, I'll take anything.
Part-time...
I really need this.
'Cuz you come With interest...
I've got your money.
I move mountains...
Calm down, calm down, calm down.
Mountains, mountains
Mountains, mountains
My name is Kazu and I'm an alcoholic.
Oh...
GEORGE: And you're sure... Sure you're not gonna change your mind about this, huh?
Come on.
Wait, wait, wait. Just a moment, please.
Look, you can stay a while longer
as long as you keep clean.
No, look at me.
I can hardly take care of myself, George.
Besides, I've got to get her used to the facility before I leave.
Okay? It's better for both of us.
[SIGHS]
All right.
All right.
See...
Just, uh...
Just... You have to...
Thank you.
Thanks, George.
All right.

ZU: Vaya con Dios.
Gracias, Jorge.

Let's go.

WOMAN: This way please.
This is the third floor.
Music is gonna be sleeping here.
Uh...
It's small, I admit, but we like to stay cozy.
Yeah, is there a lot of people around just to make sure she's okay?
What happens if she hurts herself?
Well, we do the best we can with what we have.
There will be some adjusting, but after a while she will love it like a home.
Um...
Sorry, my brain's...
Any other questions?
No.
No, we're good, thanks.
It's for the best in the long run.
MUSIC: Don't go.
Sit down now.
[ZU SIGHS]
Sis, don't go.
[SIGHS]
MAN: And now, the brother of the groom.
I'd like to offer something to the beautiful couple.
I love you both.
And I want you to be happy.
Love is complicated, yes?
I used to think I knew what love was.
Now I'm not so sure.
But one thing I am sure of,
I'm happy for you.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Hi, I need to talk to you.
-EBO: What are you doing here? -I, uh...
I quit my job.
And I'm sober.
I've been sober ever since that night.
Every time I think about that night, I just wanna die.
-Forget that. -No, we don't forget that.
And I know I'm not supposed to say this,
that I'm never not gonna be sober,
but I'll never not be sober again.
I almost gave Music away to strangers today.
Almost left her.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm gonna stay and I'm going to help her
just like she helps me
because I love her.
And I think that's what you do when you love someone.
And I'm actually learning how to love someone.
Me, too.
[LAUGHING]
EBO: So...
Zu, this is my family.
-My family, this is Zu... -Hi.
