[dramatic music]
[Gwen] Everything is fucked.
[James] Everything is fucked.
[Gwen] I mean, like
literally fucked.
[James] Completely
and totally fucked.
[Gwen] Capitalism.
[James] Fucked.
[Gwen] Racism, sexism, fascism.
[James] Everyism?
[Gwen] Fucked. Fucked.
[James] Climate change.
[Gwen] The great
Pacific garbage patch.
[James] Sex trafficking,
anti-abortion laws.
[Gwen] Man, fuck
the Supreme Court.
[James] Palm oil. I
mean, at this point,
oh, the food is poison.
[Gwen] Factory fucking farming.
[James] Colony
collapse disorder.
[Gwen] Animal cosmetic testing.
[James] Oh, those
poor fucking vehicles.
[Gwen] You know, solar plants
actually kill like millions
of birds every year.
What?
Yeah, they fly
right into the light.
What are we gonna do?
What the fuck are we gonna do?
Oh, shit. Here they come.
[car engine revving]
Oh, they're leaving.
All right, you ready?
Okay.
On three. One, two, three.
["Tow Jam" by Egg

Another cliche
Another cliche
Daddy didn't love you
But it's better that way
You're so much
cooler than me
You're so much
cooler than me
Be careful please.
Oh, shit.
There she is.
Oh, she's magnificent.
Such a cliche
You're such a cliche
Such a cliche
-Stop.
-Don't rush me.
You're such a cliche
You're such a cliche
You're such a cliche
Oh, someone is coming.
[Gwen screaming]
[birds chirping]
Man, this is really
bringing me back
to my middle school
magazine drive days.
I did one of those.
Oh, yeah. How'd you do?
Not good.
What the fuck even
was that anyway?
You know, like forcing kids
to sell magazine subscriptions.
It's like total
corporate brainwashing,
forcing kids to sell
magazine subscriptions,
or chocolate bars or
whatever the fuck.
There's no profit sharing.
There's no benefits.
We should have unionized.
Hi.
Hey.
Welcome to our plants stand.
Oh.
What are you looking for?
We've got agave.
We've got this.
That's aloe, aloe plant, yeah.
-These are cool, but...
-Thank you.
They, they're kind of
in a little bit bad shape,
but where'd you get these?
You want something or not?
Well, first of all,
I'm just walking
on the sidewalk,
you know, and this is cool,
but it's also a little
strange to see plants
that look like
they've been ripped up
outta the ground that's all.
Well, you have to get the roots.
No, you definitely
have to get the roots,
but the rhizomes get destroyed
when you pull them
outta the ground.
It looks like they were
pulled outta the ground.
You know, if you're
not interested,
you can just move right along.
Well, okay, well,
okay. Here's the deal.
In this neighborhood,
which I've lived in
for many, many years,
there have been reports
of succulents being stolen
out of people's yards.
And some of these succulents,
I'm not saying that I
know every succulent,
but some of them look
kind of familiar.
So I'm just, I'm just
gonna come out and say it.
I, I think that you
guys stole these.
The condition is insane.
You know what? Fuck you.
Fuck me.
Yeah. Fuck you.
You know what?
Fuck you too.
Yeah, fuck you.
And you what?
-Fuck you...
-Get the fuck outta here.
For being so silent,
complacency, complacency.
-You know what?
-You know.
What the fuck do you know?
Get the fuck out of here.
[Reggie] Oh, what
the fuck do I know?
What do you know, man?
[Reggie] You know what I know,
I know I'm gonna walk
down the police station.
I'm gonna tell 'em about you
guys doing your nefarious
activities with succulents and...
Oh, yeah.
[Reggie] Succulent on this.
Oh, that was a pretty good one.
[Reggie] Thanks.
-You go right ahead.
-[Reggie] I am.
Man, what the fuck?
That guy is such a dick.
So are we done?

[subtle music]
I call this into my life
I am embodying my future self
who is already
living in my present.
I am manifesting this
vision into reality.
I am living it as if
it already happened.
I see it. I feel it.
The universe has granted
me this abundance.
[gentle music]
Nicholas Cage will
be my husband.
We will live together on a cliff
overlooking the
vast Pacific Ocean.
[upbeat music]
[Gwen] Pizza.
Is it vegan?
[Gwen] It's always vegan.
[James sighs]
Oh my god. Hmm.
I think it's time to
get rid of those pants.
What?
What's wrong with them?
The period stain
has gotten bigger.
So what? They're my
most comfortable pair.
And what? Like you're
always telling me
that I should go
green or whatever.
What am I supposed to do?
Put these in a landfill
just 'cause of a
little period stain.
It looks like you shot yourself.
I'm so full.
Okay. No more vegan
pizza. It's gross.
I'm vegan.
You had a chicken
sandwich last week.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Hey Gwen.
Hey sis.
So I'm just calling you
to remind you about the
baby shower tomorrow.
I emailed you the
directions did you get them.
I texted too.
Oh yeah. Got it all
right here. Can't wait.
You forgot, didn't you?
No.
Where is it?
It's in Malibu.
Yeah, it's in Malibu.
So I just, I wanna make
sure you have a plan.
What time you need to
jump in the shower.
You know a plan.
I have been invited
to things before.
I just want you to be
there. I don't want any drama.
Why would there be drama?
Okay. I know how to function
and anyway, I got you
this really cool gift
from the registry.
No, no, no. Gwen, you
don't have to gimme anything.
I just, I would love for you
to be there with clean hair.
No, I wanna get you a gift.
Gwen. Honestly, I can just
buy myself a gift and wrap it.
I wanna get you a gift, okay?
So I'm getting you a gift.
And anyway, I just got
this really cool new job
so you don't have to worry.
You got a job?
Does Mom know?
I'm 30 so mom doesn't
have to know everything
and yeah, it's legit.
I'm working with plants.
So you're trimming weed again?
No, I'm working with succulents.
You know, propagating.
Okay. Okay. Just please be
there with clean hair, okay?
I love you.
[suspenseful music]
Holy fuck.
Where's this fucking
registry of...
Oh, I got it. I got it.
Oh, okay. Okay.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Fuck. Fuck.
Everything's taken.
Fuck me.
Well, it is tomorrow.
Not helping.
There's only this.
Oh, it's Indigo Babies.
Why do you know what that is?
Gwyneth, babies for self care.
Oh my God it's, it comes
with a birth chart,
so you know your
baby's life purpose.
This is fucking psycho.
Well, it's 150 bucks.
That's way too much.
Yeah, I know. I thought I
was gonna be spending like $15.
Why the fuck are
babies so expensive?
I think you should
get your sister a card.
I cannot get my sister a card.
I just told her I
have a job, James.
She's gonna know I'm a liar.
I think she already knows that.
You have to find this thing.
Do you want me to
get the crystals?
No, I do not want you
to get the crystals.
We need something
real, something fast.
Let's consult the board.
There's got to be
something on this thing
that can get us
money by tomorrow.
[subtle music]
Oh, Kreep Peepz.
No.
Come on, think about it.
We could do that collab we've
always been talking about.
You wanna do sex work now?
What? Like it's hard.
It is.
I have to message my
pen pals every day,
it's my livelihood.
How much do you make?
300 a month.
That's it. Girl, you
need to up your game.
Come on, think about it.
We would rake it, in
little girl on girl action.
I don't know.
Okay. Trust me.
I've got an idea that
is going to shake up
the whole industry.

[Voiceover] Huh, Kreep Peepz.
[Gwen] Is it up yet?
Setting up a peep hole.
So my people see it first.
They may wanna
see you privately,
so be prepared to
send some messages.
Hmm?
[Voiceover] The card.
Okay. What now?
We wait.
Babies are assholes.
Oh, I think I found it cheaper.
No, let's hold out.
God, there's so much
baby stuff out there.
I mean, how many
babies even are there?
Oh my God. Ew.
I'm like disgusted to
even think about that.
They're just these
like parasites, right?
Like these useless
blobs of nothing.
Just oozing shit and
vomit all over the place.
And everyone's like,
oh, you're so cute
with all your shit and vomit.
Lemme just change
your dirty diaper
while you'd suck the
living life outta me
for the rest of my
fucking days on earth.
How did cave babies
even survive?
Yeah, I think it
was a numbers game.
Oh my God.
What?
We were babies.
Wow.
Do we have any peepz yet?
No.
[Gwen] Is that
like normal for you?
Maybe we should pull a card.
This is serious, James. Okay.
I can't just be
relying on hocus pocus.
It's science.
It's science.
How come Nicholas Cage ain't
in this bed with us then?
I guess I'm not ready
to receive him yet.
[Gwen] I don't wanna use
the word delusional here but...
You know I don't
have to help you.
Yes you do.
[James] Why?
'Cause you're my best friend.
Okay, we'll pull three.
[subtle music]
Read them.
Okay.
Three of swords, heartbreak,
emotional devastation, sorrow.
This card doesn't
make any sense.
Should I read the rest?
Yeah.
10 of swords.
Painful endings, deep wounds.
Betrayal, crisis.
[lights flickering]
Oh my God. I think it's a sign.
It's a sign of
rolling blackouts.
This is not what is
going on with us at all.
Clearly these cards
are defective.
You're bringing
these back to Target.
[birds chirping]
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Hi honey. Did I wake you?
I know you said you said
never to call before 11:00.
No, I'm up.
Gwen. I spoke to
your sister last night.
She said you wanna
buy her a gift?
Yeah. From the registry.
That's very sweet.
But you don't have to do that.
I know you don't have a
lot of money right now.
No, it, it's okay.
Actually, I, I
just got a new job.
You know your dad
and I do not want you
doing anything unsafe.
-No, it's cool.
-I'm propagating.
You know, she just wants
you to be there, your sister.
Looking great, clean hair.
I'm getting
Augustine a gift, okay?
Why don't you just let your dad
and I Venmo you the money?
She'll never have to know.
Mom?
You don't have to
worry about anything.
I'm getting her a gift,
okay. With my own money.
So thank you very much.
I appreciate it. But I got this.
Alright. I love you.
I'll see you tonight.
Honey. The baby
shower starts at four.
[suspenseful music]
Did you hear me?
It starts at 4:00.
Did you hear me?
It starts at 4:00.
The timeline just accelerated.
The baby shower starts at 4:00.
What time is it?
[Mom] Did you hear me?
[dramatic music]
Yeah, I have shit to do.
-James, please.
-I need you today.
How else am I supposed
to get to Malibu?
[James] So you want my car?
Obviously.
What? I thought you were
on this journey with me.
I have a life too.
What exactly were you
gonna be doing today?
It's a full moon and I need
to make space for new energy.
No, you don't get to judge me.
It makes me happy.
And that's all that matters.
All right, look, I
didn't wanna bring this up
because I'm not really trying
to encourage this whole thing,
but my sister's friend
is friends with Nicholas
Cage's assistant.
What?
She's gonna be there today.
So if you come with me,
that's like one
step closer to him.
How has this not
been mentioned before?
I mean, you know how hard
I've been working on this.
You would think
that my best friend
would've mentioned it.
My honest answer is that
I think this obsession
is like completely toxic
and I'm like legitimately
worried about you.
But this is a
desperate situation
and I really need you today.
Okay, we're gonna
circle back to this,
but yeah, I'm in.
What's the plan?
Have you checked
Kreep peepz yet?
No. I'm scared actually.
I bet we're gonna
have all of our money
and you're gonna be begging
me for another collab.
[Voiceover] Too ugly.
Well, yeah, I lost
all my pen pals.
Fuck Gwen.
I knew this was a bad idea.
It was totally off brand.
Well, excuse me
for being innovative.
I guess I'm ahead of my time.
Oh, well we do have a message
from the Kreep
Peepz admin account.
Ooh, they wanna feature us.
We're in violation of
their terms of service.
Shit, all right.
Oh! Think, think.
There's gotta be something.
Somebody's gotta like owe
us money or something.
I mean, I think Kelsey
owes me for lunch last week.
Not anymore. I
stole her lucky cat.
We need a list.
Okay, we've got Kieran.
I took him to the
airport last month.
It's worth like 30 bucks.
Hmm. I think I saw a post.
He's on some like frog
venom retreat or something.
Oh, Fiona, she owes
me 12 for coffee.
She left.
[Gwen] What?
Yeah, people are leaving.
It's like a mass exodus.
Where did she even go?
Austin.
Good luck with that shit.
Okay, so who do we have?
Ben, Allie, Monty, and Leslie.
Ugh, Leslie. Solid options.
Hey, what about your old boss?
Doesn't he like owe you a
bunch of money from firing you?
Maybe we just work
through who we have
and you know, go from there.
There's some pretty low
hanging fruit there. Van.
Van, he owes me 50 bucks
for eating all my edibles.
Okay. Hit him up but I am
not getting in that hot tub.
You say that now?
Oh my God.
I cannot wait to show up to
this party with this gift.
Be like, suck it sis.
[upbeat music]
You know I'm feeling really
good about this plan.
Me too.
[car engine revving]
It looks like I got sick
and I never got better
I better, I better,
better wear a sweater
Looks like I got sick
And I never got better
I better, I better
wear a fucking sweater
Hope to shake
and hold my waist
I hope to shake
and hold my waist
[upbeat music]
Hey, come on up.
Are you naked?
No.
He's naked.
Whatever.
Hey, you guys are just in time.
The water is like perfect.
I'm pretty sure this is
a health code violation.
It smells like mustard.
Yeah, that you posted
on Kreep Peepz last
night was weird.
Like even for me, I
had a D peep. Sorry.
I get it.
However, I did just start
my own account last night.
You wanna see what I'm up to?
[techno music playing]
I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
Sex, I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
So like what do you guys think?
Do I have a niche?
What?
The edibles.
Oh, right. Van?
Yeah.
You ate my edibles.
What?
You came over the other day
and you ate all my edibles.
So you owe me 50 bucks.
50 bucks?
That's how much they're worth.
Okay, first of all, I
thought that those were a gift.
A gift has to be given.
Okay. Solid point.
But if I ate all your edibles,
then I don't really
owe you money,
I just owe you new edibles.
Okay, well,
I guess we could sell them.
So yeah, it's fine.
It's fine. Where are they?
I don't have any.
Fuck.
You guys in like some kind
of trouble or something?
It's my sister's baby shower
and I promised her
I'd get her this gift,
but it's like 150 bucks.
Man. People are
like having babies.
Yeah, Van, we're
all in our '30s.
What a trap.
This is a dead end.
What do you wanna do now?
Like the signs are everywhere.
The other day I'm
loading my truck. Okay.
I put everything in there.
I get in the cab,
I start the engine,
I look behind me,
and all the shit I
just loaded was gone.
I, I come back inside and like,
It's, it's all,
it's all in here.
Like. Like, like I
never touched it.
The way Einstein put it is like
everything is like relative.
Like if you're going
to be in ice age
you need a fucking jacket.
If you spend time like talking.
Have you guys ever seen
the movie "Enter the Void?"
None of this is real.
We are living in a simulation.
Slaves to a player.
[distorted voices]
Or maybe you just
didn't load the truck.
When is the last time
you cleaned this thing?
Clean it. It's water.
Oh my god. Ugh. I
think this was a mistake.
Okay, one down three to go.
Who's next?
Allie.
Allie. Great. Let's do this.
[car engine revving]
So just, how close
is your sister's friend
to Nick's assistant?
It's Nick now?
They're really close, okay?
Well like has she met him?
I mean, would he even
be down to hang out
with his assistant's friends?
These are all really
good questions to ask her
once we get there.
What's wrong?
Something feels off.
[James] Gwen?
I think I have a UTI.
The hot tub.
Goddammit Van.
Should we swing by the clinic?
I can't afford the copay
and I'm pass my two for free.
This is not good.
You cannot just let this do.
This is such bullshit.
You know, men give
us these things
with their dirty
fucking genitals.
You know they wash their hands
after they go to the bathroom,
they touch their penises with
their filthy fucking hands,
then they wash their hands,
then they stick that
shit in us and bam, UTI.
Nobody ever talks about it,
but it's a medical fact.
Yeah, that makes sense.
But you got this from a hot tub.
A dirty hot tub owned by a man
who doesn't clean,
with a dirty dick.
But that's why we're
supposed to pee after sex.
So now it's my responsibility?
Maybe men just need to clean
their hot tubs and their dicks,
and then the world will be
that much closer to a quality.
You sure you're
gonna make it all day?
There's too much at stake.
Why are we stopping?
I need gas.
[Gwen] The clock is
ticking. What time is it?
It's only noon.
[Gwen] Alright, I'm
gonna get a drink.
Maybe I can flush this
thing out naturally.
[air whooshing]
You are gonna flush out
a UTI with a giant soda?
What? It's mostly water.
We good on gas?
Yeah, it's all good.
Great. Let's get
the fuck outta here.
[subtle music]
That's a 2010 Zara.
This is a vintage store.
Okay, many years
back counts as vintage.
Pay up Allie.
I'm with a customer.
I don't want your clothes.
It's fast fashion.
And the whole point
of shopping vintage
is to help the planet.
This shit is made of plastic.
I'll give you 6.99 for
this in store credit
or a $1.29 cash.
I'll take the store credit.
Okay, what's this?
I owe you money?
Nice to see you too, Allie.
No, you're not doing
this today. I'm working.
Well, I'm in the
middle of an emergency,
so I need you to pay me
the money that you owe me.
I don't owe you any money.
What's the emergency?
She needs a gift for
her sister's baby shower.
Do I really need to explain
to you what an emergency is?
Okay. So maybe it's not
an emergency emergency,
but it's important, all right.
It's my sister's only baby.
I don't owe you any money.
Yeah, you do.
We went out for
drinks last month
and I spotted you 40 bucks.
We're keeping score every
time we spot each other now?
What about three months ago
when we went out to lunch
at Gigi's, you made reservations
and then conveniently
forgot your wallet.
That was a $200 brunch.
Allie, you're
such a good friend.
You turn on me?
All right, fine. I didn't
wanna bring this up,
but let's talk about
the name of the store.
We put that to rest.
Oh, did we?
You wanna go again?
Yeah, let's go again.
Gwen, you did not come up
with the name of my store.
Yes I did. Twin
Sneaks was my idea.
-No you didn't.
-I came up with it.
It was my idea to
watch "Twin Peaks".
You didn't even like
the new "Twin Peaks".
Nobody likes the new
"Twin Peaks". It's crazy.
Okay, lemme get this straight.
You wanna get a
cut of my business,
because when you were high,
you wanted to
watch "Twin Peaks".
All I need is 150 bucks.
You could have had a cut.
You were supposed
to be my partner,
but when the time came to sign
for the bank loan, you slept in.
You're scared Gwen.
Scared and delusional.
And this friendship
is completely toxic.
That's just like
your truth, Allie.
No, that's the truth, Gwen.
There's only one truth.
Twin Sneak has been
my dream for years.
Do you know how hard it
is to run a vintage store?
Let alone a vintage
sneaker store?
Nobody ever brings in sneakers.
I got this bitch
selling me Zara.
My profit margins are razor thin
and in this economy
I'm barely hanging on,
and everyone is leaving LA.
So just to be clear,
you're not paying
me back for drinks?
You can take something
from the sales rack
if you promise to just leave.
Ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha
This pussy's mine, bitch
You own me? Yo
you don't own shit
No car, no pet, no house
What makes you think
you'd own this?
This pussy's mine
You're on borrowed time
[phone ringing]
Fuck!
Hey Augustine.
Hey Gwen. I'm just
calling to check in.
I'm about to head to
the place in Malibu
and it would just be so great
if you could come
help me set up.
Mm. That's probably
not gonna be possible,
but I will definitely
be there by four.
You are not still trying
to buy me that gift, are you?
Because I looked at the registry
and the last thing on there
is way too expensive for you.
Don't worry about
it. Okay, I got it.
Okay. Well, I'd much
rather you come early
than running around trying
to scam money from people.
That's not what I'm doing.
The only gift I
need is for my sister
to be there with
clean hair, okay?
So come as soon as you can.
Got it.
She sounds really supportive.
She thinks I'm a total failure.
No one expects anything of me.
Who's next?
Ugh, Monty.
Do we really need
to go to Monty's?
You're the one who
put 'em on the list.
No, I just thought
Van would deliver.
This is a desperate
situation, James.
You need to text him.
Wait, don't open that.
What the actual fuck?
It's nothing.
Explain?
It's a Nicholas cage bust.
Yeah, I can see that.
This is some single
white female shit, James.
You know, I knew you
would give me shit.
So I was waiting for a good
time to sneak it past you.
Also, I'm not happy
with how it came out.
You had this custom made?
Maybe.
Dude. We are having a
serious talk about this
when we get home.
I still can't believe he
lives in this shit hole.
[gentle music]
This is how we die?
James, it's good to see you.
Well come in.
Come in, come in, come in.
Can I offer you guys anything?
-[James] I'm, I'm good.
-[Gwen] I'm good.
James, I am so glad
that you reached out.
I feel like we must
have been just kind of...
Oh my God.
Hmm.
It's the movie, you made DVDs.
Yeah. Aren't they amazing?
I just had 'em done
down the post track.
Hey, before you leave,
I'm gonna give you a stack
just to help distribute.
Give something to
your friend too.
Does anyone even
have a DVD player?
So the film festivals,
nothing happened?
I mean, it's been radio
silence for five years.
I figured they just fizzled.
Yeah. Well, fizzled
film festivals.
We all know that they're
nothing but political.
You know, if they don't have
Timothee Chalamet
in them, rejected.
Pretty sure there's
lots of movies
without Timothee Chalamet.
No.
Monty. That's sort
of why I'm here.
Oh, hold that thought.
What?
Cockroaches?
Oh, what?
I've got you motherfuckers.
Oh my God, dude.
My landlords trying
to raise my rent,
but I got cockroaches
everywhere.
And cockroaches, they
carry diseases, right?
Gonna be a big, big payout.
It's probably all
the cans of cat food
you have lying around.
Well, yeah, yeah, of course.
So why don't you
just throw them away?
Because I need, I need
them to draw in the roaches.
They're like, they're
like little restaurants.
You know, I, I'm just
trying to make shit happen.
The landlord, he ain't even
gonna know what hit him.
Okay. Look, Monty, I
am here for a reason.
When we shot your
movie, as you know,
I was sag, and I signed a
deferred payment contract
for the 50 bucks per day rate
you promised plus residuals.
It's been five years.
You're selling DVDs.
I'm gonna need that money now.
I can't believe,
I can't believe what
I'm hearing right now.
Out of all the selfish
Hollywood bullshit that
I've ever heard, I've,
this takes the cake.
Preying on an indie
artist for a buck.
Wait, I preyed on you?
I starred in your film.
I even put rentals
on my credit card
so you can make this thing.
The script was terrible.
Some male gaze '90s crap.
You made me take my top off.
Oh, shit.
It furthered the story.
Everybody agreed
it was a good idea.
Then you just sit
on it for five years
only to find out that
you're trying to sell DVDs
and not pay me a dime.
Copies in China. In China.
That's 600 miles away.
Is it any good?
Of course not.
It's fucking great.
I love that movie so much.
Listen, I think,
I think you two need to leave.
Look, there's a
cockroach right there.
No, where.
Grab the DVDs.
[upbeat music]
No one can see this movie.
Don't. Don't let them escape.
I'm telling your landlord.
My baby.
[upbeat music]
[Gwen and James screaming]
[upbeat music]
[car engine revving]
What a fucking weirdo.
We are definitely
watching this tonight.
No. Absolutely not.
You should really
get that looked at.
Oh, there's no time.
It's almost two o'clock.
I just gotta keep hydrating.
You do know they clean
car engines with that stuff.
Who's next?
[James] Looks like Leslie.
Oh, fuck.
I hate Leslie.
We could save a lot of time
if you just text your boss.
I mean, you told me he
was doing illegal shit.
He'd be scared not to
give you the money.
[Voiceover] Kreep Peepz.
Hey, I just got a
message from Kreep Peepz.
[Gwen] Really?
Yeah. It's a woman.
She's asking for an
in-person meetup.
Can we do a live show?
Logistically?
It could be complicated.
Tell her it's 150 for an hour
She says yes. Give an address.
Seriously?
It's not far.
[Gwen] Kreep Peepz
coming through.
You really wanna go
to some people's house?
You said it's a woman.
That's chill, right?
[James] It could be a catfish.
-It's all of our money.
-What's the problem?
Trust the universe, James.
Okay, let's do it.
Oh my God. Does this mean
I'm officially a sex worker?
I think so.
Ooh, so [indistinct]
So timely.
All of the land
You stand upon
Forefathers
Profited from
You're blissfully aloof
You can't see the truth
About where your
money came from
We bought lies
Still benefit from ties
Of the people we
robbed of their homes
How does it feel
To wake up
Let's just get our money
and get the fuck outta here.
[doorbell rings]
You came. So
honored to meet you.
We're so glad you're a woman.
We thought this could be
like a catfish or something.
No, I'm very much a
human being not a fish.
Please come in.
I've only recently become
a Peeper, as they say.
So I'm quite new to this.
I saw your video and
I was just blown away.
No pun intended.
What?
Nothing.
Was that a joke?
Yes.
I get it.
[subtle music]
Sit.
Well.
What?
Fart?
What?
What do you think I
brought you here for?
I want to see your act, so fart.
I don't think we
can just do our act.
I need to ascertain
that you can deliver
what you promised.
We can.
Wait, I got one.
[subtle music]
Where's the smoke?
Like in the video with
all the different colors.
That wasn't real.
We don't actually fart in color.
I thought you were special.
Look, I just need
150 bucks, all right.
We came all this way
now pay us why you owe us.
It is I who has been misled.
I was promised something
that turned out not to be real.
You've wasted my valuable time.
It is you who is the cat's fish?
That is the appropriate usage.
No, this is fucking psycho.
You actually thought we
farted colored smoke.
It's why I had to meet you.
How did you find us actually?
I barely have any Peepers
and I do not promote this.
Yeah. What the
fuck is going on?
All right. You've
found me out.
The truth is, I've been
searching for years,
looking everywhere,
all across the globe.
Trying to find someone like you.
Someone like me.
[dramatic music]
What in the...
No, I can't talk right now.
Leslie.
Leslie.
[car engine revving]
[upbeat music]
My daddy says he's
friends with Uncle Sam
I try to change his mind
and those baby booming ways
Both my hands are full and
I still forgot something
I walk fast I talk fast
You better listen fast
or get left behind
This shit looks nice.
I don't know about this.
Oh, come on. He's been
scamming you for years.
He has a way of getting
to me. He's not safe.
I'm here.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
[knock on door]
[upbeat music]
[men shouting indistinctly]
James!
One second.
They're all wearing
the same thing.
[James speaking indistinctly]
Gwen, I am so glad
that you two joined us.
Thanks for reaching out.
Because today is the day.
Alright, what is all of this?
This is the source.
Okay, look, we're
actually here for a reason.
Like a real one?
Yes, because the universe
brought you to me [chuckles]
Let's go. Come on.
Oh wait. First, please follow.
You started an
Instagram for this thing.
Follow please.
Good, perfect.
Okay. You guys are
welcome to join us.
Come on in.
No follow back.
Leslie follows no one. No one.
Brutal.
Okay. Just keep in mind
how difficult this is for me.
What are you guys doing here?
Van, what the fuck?
This is my weekly support.
I'm I'm, I'm here
like once a week.
Red flag.
Okay, so everybody
welcome our newest recruits,
the newcomers, James and Gwen.
[crowd clapping]
Lost and desperate souls,
you are here with us
to enjoy the maximum
potential within yourselves.
We do this through a
variable of techniques
such as breathing,
primal scream,
and quantum manifestation.
Oh my God. Leslie
started a cult.
And this is not a cult.
Who said what now?
You did actually,
you literally just said,
"Oh my god. Leslie
started a cult."
Didn't realize that came out.
Yeah. Well this
isn't that, okay.
This is about love
and abundance.
Can we go talk over there?
Oh, right.
You see, there's
no secrets here.
So you can say whatever
you need to say
right in front of the group.
Well, we're in a bit of a jam.
And I was, I was
hoping, or I thought...
We're here to collect the
money that you owe James.
I owe who money?
James, for the pyramid
scheme that you roped her into.
Pyramid scheme.
Yeah. Prepaid psychics.
[chuckles] Oh, that is
definitely not a pyramid scheme.
It's actually a very, very
valuable service that we provide.
Well, I, I didn't
get any readings
and you know, I spent
all my time recruiting
and they're still
billing me monthly.
You scammed her and
God knows who else.
Probably everybody here.
Leslie, please.
We really need the cash.
Can you refund my subscription?
Oh, James, I always
wanted the best for you.
You just seem so
hopeless and pathetic.
You need to work
on just letting go
and releasing all
of this energy.
Who are you mad at really?
Is it me or is it you?
It's you dude.
It's definitely you.
I thought you had
made such progress,
but lo and behold you have
not made much progress at all.
I've made progress.
James always looking outward
to try and find others to
fix what's wrong inside.
Are we still carrying
on those delusions
of marrying Nicolas Cage?
Let me help you James,
because if you don't,
I fear you're
going to die alone.
Do you want to die alone?
No, but...
No buts, yes is the answer.
Are you seriously gonna let
this Jonestown
wanna be bully you?
Gwen has anybody ever told you
you're just kind of sour?
What the fuck?
Feel the love of the source.
Join us.
I know that you need saving.
[crowd screaming]
You just seem so
hopeless and pathetic.
You need to work on
just letting it go.
Releasing all of this energy,
delusions of marrying
Nicholas Cage.
You wanna talk about
what happened back there?
No.
For you. For you.
Oh, what is this?
The ceremonial juice.
Cheers.
Oh my God.
Is this really happening?
See you later.
See you soon.
Leslie.
I feel dingly.
Van.
[James and Gwen screaming]
[dramatic music]
Do we call for help?
We were never here.
Hurry! Hurry!
I'm trying.
[James screaming]
[car engine revving]
[upbeat music]
[Gwen] What time is it?
[James] It's 3:30.
The fuck. We're
running outta time.
Oh, fuck. It's in the kidneys.
Yeah, it's not
just gonna go away.
[phone ringing]
Hello.
Hey Gwen. So it's 3:30,
and the party starts
in a half hour,
and I really thought you'd
be here at this point.
Yeah, sorry. Some
stuff came up at work.
It was, it was an emergency
and I had to propagate that.
Okay. Yeah, that's fine.
But you're on your way, right?
Yeah, as we speak.
You have the address, right?
Yep. Right here on my phone.
Oh, shit. Getting another call.
Sorry. Gotta go.
I'll see you soon.
Honey. Honey, it needs to
go all the way over. Okay?
Thank you.
Mom.
Hello.
Where are you?
The party starts in a half hour
your sister's really upset.
On my way, mom, all right.
Everything's fine.
Your sister always
shows up for you.
I need you to show
up for her sometimes.
Mom, if you want
me to get there,
I need to get off
the phone, okay?
Goodbye.
Shit. Okay, who's left?
Wait, that's everybody.
Fuck. Why is everyone we
know such a goddamn dead beat?
Shouldn't we just head there?
I'm sure your sister would
rather have you there
empty handed than
not there at all.
The party goes until 8:00.
We just need to get
there before it ends.
Well, there is one other option.
No. Okay. I already said no.
You have so much
dirt on this guy.
I don't get it.
It's fucking
disgusting and dangerous
and I'm not going over there.
You know I've opened up
some serious wounds for you
and you won't open
up one of your own.
-No. Alright.
-It's not happening.
You know what, I'm just
gonna head to Venice.
I know where he lives.
Seriously, James, stop
fucking pressuring me.
I just think it's so fucked up
that you have put
me out all day long
and now we have an
actual solution,
a solution we should have
done from the beginning.
But you don't wanna do it
'cause you don't
wanna face some shit.
You don't understand.
He took advantage of you.
Since when have you
ever backed down
from some fucking asshole.
Get off my fucking case.
I am so sick of your shit.
I mean I just keep
giving and giving
and anytime you have
to take responsibility
or face anything hard,
you just back down and
leave me high and dry.
I let you on my Kreep Peepz
and I lost all my followers.
I need that income Gwen.
And then you just send me out
to relive all my past trauma
without even a second thought.
You haven't once asked
me if I'm okay today.
I might be an accessory
to mass murder
and you just don't give a shit.
I didn't force you to
do anything, alright?
You're just desperate for a
chance to meet Nicholas Cage.
Oh my god. I did it
because I'm your friend.
Well, good. 'Cause I lied.
Lied?
About Nicholas Cage.
There's no connection
to Nicholas Cage.
You know, it's so
fucking pathetic
that that's what it
took for you to help me.
And it's even more pathetic
that you actually believed me.
This is exactly why you keep
getting into trouble James.
Leslie was right, you are weak.
Fuck you.
Fuck you back.
You're delusional.
Someone needs to set
your shit straight.
Where are we even going?
We are going to Venice.
Fine.
Go to Venice.
Aren't you brave?
[gentle music]
Okay.
[gentle music]
Aren't you coming?
[knock on door]
Guinevere. Wow.
Durant?
This is unexpected.
Surprise.
Would you like to come in?
You know, I wasn't sure
if I'd ever see you again.
And I figured you of all people
might be one of the ones fleeing
in this so-called mass exodus.
But this is a real treat.
Well, I was in the neighborhood.
Tea?
[Gwen] What?
-I just brewed a pot.
-Would you like some tea?
Oh yeah, sure.
And your friend.
This is James.
She'll have a cup too.
Great. Why don't
you have a seat.
On the floor there please.
So still got the
factory going, huh?
Thriving. We just got a
new printing system set up.
Hired a new girl.
She's really modernized
the operation.
So this is an
organic Sencha tea.
Shade grown, from
Kagoshima, Japan.
Well, Guinevere,
what brings you here?
Well, my sister's having a baby.
Oh, congratulations.
New life is ever
present, isn't it?
I just got back from
Venice at the Biennale
where I saw James
Terrell's birth canal.
It's this immersive sensory
exploration of the journey
between birth and death,
life, if you will.
And when you emerge from
the gelatinous tunnel
covered head to toe
and placental goo,
it really gives you
a deep appreciation
of the mother deep down within
each and every one of us.
Cool. That actually
sounds really cool.
So listen...
[phone vibrating]
-Sorry, hold on.
-Gimme a second.
Yeah, that's Berlin. Excuse me.
Hello?
Nine. Nine.
I definitely need it tonight.
I don't care what's realistic,
I have a buyer and
they need it tonight.
Dunca!
Okay, well obviously I'm
extraordinarily busy.
So why don't we just
cut out the pleasantries
and you can just tell me
exactly why you're here.
Well, well I'm kind of in a jam,
you know, with my sister
and I need a little
cash to get her a gift.
I see.
And you know when you fired me,
I never got my back pay.
When I fired you.
Guinevere, I never fired you.
What have you been telling
your friends darling?
Look, you're scamming people
outta lots of money, okay.
I know about the fakes.
Just gimme my money and I
won't report this place.
Report me.
You're stealing art.
I'm sorry. It
was James. Was it?
Do you know anything
about the art world?
It's all fake.
Okay, listen male,
you abuse my friend.
You stole money from her.
Just pay her what you owe her
so we can get the
fuck out of here.
Sure.
What?
What?
Yeah, I'll give you your money.
I mean you earned it.
I, I would've given it to
you if you hadn't left.
I'll be right back.
What the fuck is going on?
11,000, right?
Might be a little extra.
What?
Do you want to
tell your friend here
how you earned it?
I mean you came here
on self-righteous.
Gwen?
You know she ran out, right?
Just upped and left and
never saw her again.
You told me he fired you.
It was my job to find
undiscovered talent.
People with good
potential or whatever.
I wrote the contract,
convinced this guy he was
getting a big gallery deal,
and then we stole everything.
It was a great plan.
Undiscovered artist,
unbelievable talent.
No resources, and now
his talent is my talent.
I saw him a few months
later living out of his car.
You know, if he's a real artist,
he'll just appreciate
his work is being seen.
No, you took advantage of me.
I didn't know what I was doing.
Oh, please. You were
way too smart for that.
Besides you got your money now,
do whatever you want with it.
Fuck you.
You know it'd be great
if you got the fuck
outta my house.
[upbeat music]
Gwen?
Let's talk about this.
Gwen Stop.
What?
I got the money.
Isn't that the point?
Isn't that why you
made me go over there?
Well, that's a lot of money.
Yeah, a lot of
money that he owes me.
He's just another
piece of shit scammer
in this goddamn
hell hole of a city.
We deserve that money.
Yeah, I, I think you need
to start taking some
responsibility here.
I'm a horrible fucking
person, is that what you want?
Gwen?
[car engine revving]
[upbeat music]
Oh my God.
Are you fucking serious?
Are you fucking serious?
Get the fuck away from me.
I am just trying to talk to you.
Oh, you mean you're
just trying to judge me?
I'm not judging you.
I don't know how many more
times I need to tell you this,
I've been here for
you all fucking day.
Oh my God.
There it is.
It's beautiful.
[subtle music]
What time is it?
Almost 5:00.
[subtle music]
You sure you wanna spend that?
I have no choice.
What? No.
Oh my.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Are you fucking
serious right now.
Somebody, somebody
has to be in there.
Come on, I know you
can fucking hear me.
Come on. We know
you're in there.
Please, please.
Fuck. It's not 5:00 yet.
Fuck. Hello.
Fuck!
Gwen it's over.
Shit.
They're closed.
I'm fucked.
Everything is fucked.
You're not fucked.
We can still make
it to your sisters'.
It was never about the gift.
It is about the gift, James.
People who have their
shit together bring gifts.
That is a story
you're telling yourself
about what you believe
society expects of you.
You need to rewrite that story.
What the fuck are
you talking about?
What if this whole day
has been the universe trying
to tell you something?
I seriously cannot deal with
this shit from you right now.
You need to take
this as an opportunity.
An opportunity?
To raise your vibration.
Raise my vibration.
To become your best self.
My best self.
Yeah.
Show you my best fucking self.
What are you doing?
Vibrating.
What are you doing with that?
Achieving enlightenment.
What the fuck does it
look like I'm doing?
Gwen, are you crazy?
Maybe.
Gwen, stop it. It's mine.
No, it's mine now.
I just got it. It's priceless.
It'll survive.
Don't go.
Think about this.
You'll be crying, motherfuckers.
That's gross.
[dramatic music]
[glass shattering]
[upbeat music]
Oh my God.
What a rush.
Holy shit.
You do realize
they will find us.
They probably have cameras.
I mean whatever.
We're never on the west
side, it doesn't even matter.
That's not how that works.
Malibu, here we come.
Oh my sister can
eat my ass, right?
Are you, Gwen?
Jesus Christ.
It doesn't matter
what to call it
[phone dings]
Fuck!
My phone just died,
do you have a charger?
Really?
Please tell me you
wrote down the address.
Malibu?
You didn't write
down the address.
Why would I write
down the address?
I have my phone.
What are we gonna do?
Just drive.
To be rich doesn't give
you the right to be a bitch
Being rich doesn't give
you the right to be a bitch
Being rich doesn't give
you the right to be a bitch
Being rich doesn't give
you the right to be a bitch
A little life wasn't
waiting for you to solve it
A little rich doesn't
matter what you call it
A little rich doesn't matter
Oh my God.
What's wrong?
What do you think?
Oh, shit. It burns.
Well, you did just drink
a whole cup of poison.
How much further?
We're almost out of gas.
-I don't know.
-Just keep driving.
Maybe I'll recognize the turn.
I can't believe this.
Oh my God James, I
don't think I can...
I really need you to pull over.
I can't pull over.
If I pull over, I can't
start the car again.
Our best chance is
to keep driving.
I don't understand.
Why are we out of gas?
Music, music will distract you.
[upbeat music]
Try this.
[Radio] Let's suppose that
you were able every night
to dream any dream
-you wanted to dream.
-What the fuck is this?
-It's my [indistinct]
-dream class.
It's all I have.
[Radio] Within one night
to dream 75 years of time.
And you would naturally,
as you began on this
adventure of dreams,
you would fulfill
all your wishes.
You would have every
kind of pleasure.
I really need you
to pull over please.
[Radio] And after
several nights...
If I pull over, we're
not gonna make it.
Why didn't you fill out?
Fuck, I can't hold it.
Don't.
It's happening.
Oh, my God.
Gwen don't.
I can't.
[James screaming]
[Gwen] What's happening?
[James] The car is dead.
[Radio] You would dream
the dream of living the life
that you are actually
living today.
What the fuck?
Why didn't you fill up the tank?
We had the gift.
We were gonna make it.
You didn't write
down the address.
Who writes down addresses?
You got piss all over me.
I have a UTI.
Which could be fixed easily
if you would go to the clinic.
I can't go to the clinic.
I don't have any money.
Well, now you do.
Harsh, real fucking harsh.
Oh, you really wanna
start this up again?
Help me understand here, okay,
who doesn't fill up the tank
before they go to the west side?
Goddammit Hannah James.
I told you never
to call me that.
I'll call you whatever
the fuck I want,
'cause you just fucked me.
All you had to do is
fill up the goddamn tank.
Well, I can't fill
up my goddamn tank
because I can't
use my credit card.
I'm maxed out on
all my credit cards
and I'm past due
on all my bills.
And you wouldn't know that
'cause you don't care about
anyone except yourself.
So thank you for somehow
always forgetting your wallet
every time we go out for coffee,
and you know when you say
you're good for it, you're not.
You are not good for it.
Why can't you use
your credit card?
How much debt could
you possibly be in?
I made a lot of debt.
Okay, well what's a
lot like a thousand?
Try 70.
Thousand?
Jesus. Fuck, James.
Why didn't you
ever tell me this?
How did you get in so much debt?
'Cause that's what
happens when you,
when you move to LA with
some vague idea of a dream
and you, you try everything,
everyone tries to make
money in this town,
but you just constantly
and completely
fail at all of it.
-And how much did Mr.
-Cage set you back there?
Oh like the board
sent me back, Gwen.
The fucking board,
you know our board.
You know all those ideas
we were so passionate about
for like five minutes.
Well, guess who paid
for those ideas?
Me, you know, from the failed
web series to Kreep Peeps.
That's not true, okay.
I paid for some of that stuff.
No, your parents paid.
And now I am in debt up
to my fucking asshole.
I don't have a family
to bail me out.
I just got 11 grand, all right,
so you can have
whatever you want.
No, I don't want your money.
There's dark energy
swirling around it.
[air whooshing]
We were so close.
What do you think
your sister's doing?
I'm sure she's stuffing her face
and probably cursing my
name for all of eternity.
I bet she's just
worried about you.
Yeah, you're probably right.
You wanna pull
a baby tarot card?
Fuck it. Why not?
Oh my God.
What?
It was just the display.
Could you imagine
showing up an empty box?
[Gwen and James laughing]
Oh my god.
What the fuck?
It's probably better that
I'm just not even there.
[James laughing]
Seriously, they would've
fucking kill me.
Hey, I'm really sorry I
lied about the Nick thing,
but dude that is like
seriously disturbing.
I really think you
might need to like
actually talk to somebody.
Also, I think you need
to start standing up
for yourself more, even to me.
[air whooshing]
So what are you gonna
do with all that money?
[air whooshing]
[waves crashing]
You're sure about this?
I'm sure.
Wait, this will
probably contribute
to the great Pacific
Garbage patch.
What's a few more bits?
[subtle music]
It's beautiful.
For what it's worth,
you're gonna be a
really great aunt.
Holy shit.
I'm gonna be an aunt.
Yo, what the fuck?
Are y'all really throwing
money into the ocean like that?
What?
Do you not know how many
homeless people
are in this city?
That is the most
privileged pollution
I've ever fucking seen.
You know what?
What the fuck...
We need to go, we need to go.
[James] We should probably
walk to a gas station.
Mm. There's just one more
thing I think we need to do.
Bathe myself in
the afternoon
Won't get out until the
water's cold and I am blue
I see it, I'm killing doubts
So I just open up the
door and I ring it out
Don't you get too
far from yourself
You're so hard on yourself
Oh, you'll get through
Only hard when you
say it's too hard
Color in, color in
Feeling empty outside
of your outline
You scratch at the
door of the divine
Within, color in
You can't stand the
greatness of sunshine
You hide in the bones
of a stock image
Shave my head
in your bathroom
Sweep my hair under your bed
Look in the mirror
till I forget
Everything I know,
everything I did
Was just a way to make
the time feel faster
Oh, you'll get through
Only hard when you
say it's too hard
Color in, color in
Feeling empty outside

[Gwen] Everything is fucked.
[James] Everything is fucked.
[Gwen] I mean, like
literally fucked.
[James] Completely
and totally fucked.
[Gwen] Capitalism.
[James] Fucked.
[Gwen] Racism, sexism, fascism.
[James] Everyism?
[Gwen] Fucked. Fucked.
[James] Climate change.
[Gwen] The great
Pacific garbage patch.
[James] Sex trafficking,
anti-abortion laws.
[Gwen] Man, fuck
the Supreme Court.
[James] Palm oil. I
mean, at this point,
oh, the food is poison.
[Gwen] Factory fucking farming.
[James] Colony
collapse disorder.
[Gwen] Animal cosmetic testing.
[James] Oh, those
poor fucking vehicles.
[Gwen] You know, solar plants
actually kill like millions
of birds every year.
What?
Yeah, they fly
right into the light.
What are we gonna do?
What the fuck are we gonna do?
Oh, shit. Here they come.
[car engine revving]
Oh, they're leaving.

[birds chirping]
Man, this is really
bringing me back
to my middle school
magazine drive days.
I did one of those.
Oh, yeah. How'd you do?
Not good.
What the fuck even
was that anyway?
You know, like forcing kids
to sell magazine subscriptions.
It's like total
corporate brainwashing,
forcing kids to sell
magazine subscriptions,
or chocolate bars or
whatever the fuck.
There's no profit sharing.
There's no benefits.
We should have unionized.
Hi.
Hey.
Welcome to our plants stand.
Oh.
What are you looking for?
We've got agave.
We've got this.
That's aloe, aloe plant, yeah.
-These are cool, but...
-Thank you.
They, they're kind of
in a little bit bad shape,
but where'd you get these?
You want something or not?
Well, first of all,
I'm just walking
on the sidewalk,
you know, and this is cool,
but it's also a little
strange to see plants
that look like
they've been ripped up
outta the ground that's all.
Well, you have to get the roots.
No, you definitely
have to get the roots,
but the rhizomes get destroyed
when you pull them
outta the ground.
It looks like they were
pulled outta the ground.
You know, if you're
not interested,
you can just move right along.
Well, okay, well,
okay. Here's the deal.
In this neighborhood,
which I've lived in
for many, many years,
there have been reports
of succulents being stolen
out of people's yards.
And some of these succulents,
I'm not saying that I
know every succulent,
but some of them look
kind of familiar.
So I'm just, I'm just
gonna come out and say it.
I, I think that you
guys stole these.
The condition is insane.
You know what? Fuck you.
Fuck me.
Yeah. Fuck you.
You know what?
Fuck you too.
Yeah, fuck you.
And you what?
-Fuck you...
-Get the fuck outta here.
For being so silent,
complacency, complacency.
-You know what?
-You know.
What the fuck do you know?
Get the fuck out of here.
[Reggie] Oh, what
the fuck do I know?
What do you know, man?
[Reggie] You know what I know,
I know I'm gonna walk
down the police station.
I'm gonna tell 'em about you
guys doing your nefarious
activities with succulents and...
Oh, yeah.
[Reggie] Succulent on this.
Oh, that was a pretty good one.
[Reggie] Thanks.
-You go right ahead.
-[Reggie] I am.
Man, what the fuck?
That guy is such a dick.
So are we done?

Is it vegan?
[Gwen] It's always vegan.
[James sighs]
Oh my god. Hmm.
I think it's time to
get rid of those pants.
What?
What's wrong with them?
The period stain
has gotten bigger.
So what? They're my
most comfortable pair.
And what? Like you're
always telling me
that I should go
green or whatever.
What am I supposed to do?
Put these in a landfill

Hello?
Hey Gwen.
Hey sis.
So I'm just calling you
to remind you about the
baby shower tomorrow.
I emailed you the
directions did you get them.
I texted too.
Oh yeah. Got it all
right here. Can't wait.
You forgot, didn't you?
No.
Where is it?
It's in Malibu.
Yeah, it's in Malibu.
So I just, I wanna make
sure you have a plan.
What time you need to
jump in the shower.
You know a plan.
I have been invited
to things before.
I just want you to be
there. I don't want any drama.
Why would there be drama?
Okay. I know how to function
and anyway, I got you
this really cool gift
from the registry.
No, no, no. Gwen, you
don't have to gimme anything.
I just, I would love for you
to be there with clean hair.
No, I wanna get you a gift.
Gwen. Honestly, I can just
buy myself a gift and wrap it.
I wanna get you a gift, okay?
So I'm getting you a gift.
And anyway, I just got
this really cool new job
so you don't have to worry.
You got a job?
Does Mom know?
I'm 30 so mom doesn't
have to know everything
and yeah, it's legit.
I'm working with plants.
So you're trimming weed again?
No, I'm working with succulents.
You know, propagating.
Okay. Okay. Just please be
there with clean hair, okay?
I love you.
[suspenseful music]
Holy fuck.
Where's this fucking
registry of...
Oh, I got it. I got it.
Oh, okay. Okay.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Fuck. Fuck.
Everything's taken.
Fuck me.
Well, it is tomorrow.
Not helping.
There's only this.
Oh, it's Indigo Babies.
Why do you know what that is?
Gwyneth, babies for self care.
Oh my God it's, it comes
with a birth chart,
so you know your
baby's life purpose.
This is fucking psycho.
Well, it's 150 bucks.
That's way too much.
Yeah, I know. I thought I
was gonna be spending like $15.
Why the fuck are
babies so expensive?
I think you should
get your sister a card.
I cannot get my sister a card.
I just told her I
have a job, James.
She's gonna know I'm a liar.
I think she already knows that.
You have to find this thing.
Do you want me to
get the crystals?
No, I do not want you
to get the crystals.
We need something
real, something fast.
Let's consult the board.
There's got to be
something on this thing
that can get us
money by tomorrow.

Oh, Kreep Peepz.
No.
Come on, think about it.
We could do that collab we've
always been talking about.

It is.

[Gwen] Is it up yet?
Setting up a peep hole.
So my people see it first.
They may wanna
see you privately,
so be prepared to
send some messages.
Hmm?
[Voiceover] The card.
Okay. What now?
We wait.
Babies are assholes.
Oh, I think I found it cheaper.
No, let's hold out.
God, there's so much
baby stuff out there.
I mean, how many
babies even are there?
Oh my God. Ew.
I'm like disgusted to
even think about that.
They're just these
like parasites, right?
Like these useless
blobs of nothing.

Yeah, I think it
was a numbers game.
Oh my God.
What?
We were babies.
Wow.
Do we have any peepz yet?
No.
[Gwen] Is that
like normal for you?
Maybe we should pull a card.
This is serious, James. Okay.
I can't just be
relying on hocus pocus.
It's science.
It's science.
How come Nicholas Cage ain't
in this bed with us then?
I guess I'm not ready
to receive him yet.
[Gwen] I don't wanna use
the word delusional here but...
You know I don't
have to help you.
Yes you do.
[James] Why?
'Cause you're my best friend.
Okay, we'll pull three.

Read them.
Okay.
Three of swords, heartbreak,
emotional devastation, sorrow.

make any sense.
Should I read the rest?
Yeah.
10 of swords.

Betrayal, crisis.

Hello?
Hi honey. Did I wake you?
I know you said you said
never to call before 11:00.
No, I'm up.
Gwen. I spoke to
your sister last night.
She said you wanna
buy her a gift?
Yeah. From the registry.
That's very sweet.
But you don't have to do that.
I know you don't have a
lot of money right now.
No, it, it's okay.
Actually, I, I
just got a new job.
You know your dad
and I do not want you
doing anything unsafe.
-No, it's cool.
-I'm propagating.
You know, she just wants
you to be there, your sister.
Looking great, clean hair.
I'm getting
Augustine a gift, okay?
Why don't you just let your dad
and I Venmo you the money?
She'll never have to know.
Mom?
You don't have to
worry about anything.
I'm getting her a gift,
okay. With my own money.
So thank you very much.
I appreciate it. But I got this.
Alright. I love you.
I'll see you tonight.

shower starts at four.

What time is it?
[Mom] Did you hear me?
[dramatic music]
Yeah, I have shit to do.
-James, please.
-I need you today.
How else am I supposed
to get to Malibu?
[James] So you want my car?
Obviously.
What? I thought you were
on this journey with me.
I have a life too.
What exactly were you
gonna be doing today?
It's a full moon and I need
to make space for new energy.
No, you don't get to judge me.
It makes me happy.
And that's all that matters.
All right, look, I
didn't wanna bring this up
because I'm not really trying
to encourage this whole thing,
but my sister's friend
is friends with Nicholas
Cage's assistant.
What?
She's gonna be there today.
So if you come with me,
that's like one
step closer to him.
How has this not
been mentioned before?
I mean, you know how hard
I've been working on this.
You would think
that my best friend
would've mentioned it.
My honest answer is that
I think this obsession
is like completely toxic
and I'm like legitimately
worried about you.
But this is a
desperate situation
and I really need you today.
Okay, we're gonna
circle back to this,
but yeah, I'm in.
What's the plan?
Have you checked
Kreep peepz yet?
No. I'm scared actually.
I bet we're gonna
have all of our money
and you're gonna be begging
me for another collab.
[Voiceover] Too ugly.
Well, yeah, I lost
all my pen pals.
Fuck Gwen.
I knew this was a bad idea.
It was totally off brand.
Well, excuse me
for being innovative.
I guess I'm ahead of my time.
Oh, well we do have a message
from the Kreep
Peepz admin account.
Ooh, they wanna feature us.
We're in violation of
their terms of service.
Shit, all right.
Oh! Think, think.
There's gotta be something.
Somebody's gotta like owe
us money or something.
I mean, I think Kelsey
owes me for lunch last week.
Not anymore. I
stole her lucky cat.
We need a list.
Okay, we've got Kieran.
I took him to the
airport last month.
It's worth like 30 bucks.
Hmm. I think I saw a post.
He's on some like frog
venom retreat or something.
Oh, Fiona, she owes
me 12 for coffee.
She left.
[Gwen] What?
Yeah, people are leaving.
It's like a mass exodus.
Where did she even go?
Austin.
Good luck with that shit.
Okay, so who do we have?
Ben, Allie, Monty, and Leslie.
Ugh, Leslie. Solid options.
Hey, what about your old boss?
Doesn't he like owe you a
bunch of money from firing you?
Maybe we just work
through who we have
and you know, go from there.
There's some pretty low
hanging fruit there. Van.
Van, he owes me 50 bucks
for eating all my edibles.
Okay. Hit him up but I am
not getting in that hot tub.
You say that now?
Oh my God.
I cannot wait to show up to
this party with this gift.
Be like, suck it sis.
[upbeat music]
You know I'm feeling really
good about this plan.
Me too.

It looks like I got sick
and I never got better
I better, I better,
better wear a sweater

And I never got better
I better, I better

Are you naked?
No.
He's naked.
Whatever.
Hey, you guys are just in time.
The water is like perfect.
I'm pretty sure this is
a health code violation.
It smells like mustard.
Yeah, that you posted
on Kreep Peepz last
night was weird.
Like even for me, I
had a D peep. Sorry.
I get it.
However, I did just start
my own account last night.
You wanna see what I'm up to?

I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
Sex, I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
I am a sex machine
A machine for sex
So like what do you guys think?
Do I have a niche?
What?
The edibles.
Oh, right. Van?
Yeah.
You ate my edibles.
What?
You came over the other day
and you ate all my edibles.
So you owe me 50 bucks.
50 bucks?
That's how much they're worth.
Okay, first of all, I
thought that those were a gift.
A gift has to be given.
Okay. Solid point.
But if I ate all your edibles,
then I don't really
owe you money,
I just owe you new edibles.
Okay, well,
I guess we could sell them.
So yeah, it's fine.
It's fine. Where are they?
I don't have any.
Fuck.
You guys in like some kind
of trouble or something?
It's my sister's baby shower
and I promised her
I'd get her this gift,
but it's like 150 bucks.
Man. People are
like having babies.
Yeah, Van, we're
all in our '30s.
What a trap.
This is a dead end.
What do you wanna do now?
Like the signs are everywhere.
The other day I'm
loading my truck. Okay.
I put everything in there.
I get in the cab,
I start the engine,
I look behind me,
and all the shit I
just loaded was gone.
I, I come back inside and like,
It's, it's all,
it's all in here.
Like. Like, like I
never touched it.
The way Einstein put it is like
everything is like relative.
Like if you're going
to be in ice age
you need a fucking jacket.
If you spend time like talking.
Have you guys ever seen
the movie "Enter the Void?"
None of this is real.
We are living in a simulation.
Slaves to a player.
[distorted voices]
Or maybe you just
didn't load the truck.
When is the last time
you cleaned this thing?
Clean it. It's water.
Oh my god. Ugh. I
think this was a mistake.
Okay, one down three to go.
Who's next?
Allie.
Allie. Great. Let's do this.
[car engine revving]
So just, how close
is your sister's friend
to Nick's assistant?
It's Nick now?
They're really close, okay?
Well like has she met him?
I mean, would he even
be down to hang out
with his assistant's friends?
These are all really
good questions to ask her
once we get there.
What's wrong?
Something feels off.
[James] Gwen?
I think I have a UTI.
The hot tub.
Goddammit Van.
Should we swing by the clinic?
I can't afford the copay
and I'm pass my two for free.
This is not good.
You cannot just let this do.
This is such bullshit.
You know, men give
us these things
with their dirty
fucking genitals.
You know they wash their hands
after they go to the bathroom,
they touch their penises with
their filthy fucking hands,
then they wash their hands,
then they stick that
shit in us and bam, UTI.
Nobody ever talks about it,
but it's a medical fact.
Yeah, that makes sense.
But you got this from a hot tub.
A dirty hot tub owned by a man
who doesn't clean,
with a dirty dick.
But that's why we're
supposed to pee after sex.
So now it's my responsibility?
Maybe men just need to clean
their hot tubs and their dicks,
and then the world will be
that much closer to a quality.
You sure you're
gonna make it all day?
There's too much at stake.
Why are we stopping?
I need gas.
[Gwen] The clock is
ticking. What time is it?
It's only noon.
[Gwen] Alright, I'm
gonna get a drink.
Maybe I can flush this
thing out naturally.
[air whooshing]
You are gonna flush out
a UTI with a giant soda?
What? It's mostly water.
We good on gas?
Yeah, it's all good.
Great. Let's get
the fuck outta here.
[subtle music]
That's a 2010 Zara.
This is a vintage store.
Okay, many years
back counts as vintage.
Pay up Allie.
I'm with a customer.
I don't want your clothes.
It's fast fashion.
And the whole point
of shopping vintage
is to help the planet.
This shit is made of plastic.
I'll give you 6.99 for
this in store credit
or a $1.29 cash.
I'll take the store credit.
Okay, what's this?
I owe you money?
Nice to see you too, Allie.
No, you're not doing
this today. I'm working.
Well, I'm in the
middle of an emergency,
so I need you to pay me
the money that you owe me.
I don't owe you any money.
What's the emergency?
She needs a gift for
her sister's baby shower.
Do I really need to explain
to you what an emergency is?
Okay. So maybe it's not
an emergency emergency,
but it's important, all right.
It's my sister's only baby.
I don't owe you any money.
Yeah, you do.
We went out for
drinks last month
and I spotted you 40 bucks.
We're keeping score every
time we spot each other now?
What about three months ago
when we went out to lunch
at Gigi's, you made reservations
and then conveniently
forgot your wallet.
That was a $200 brunch.
Allie, you're
such a good friend.
You turn on me?
All right, fine. I didn't
wanna bring this up,
but let's talk about
the name of the store.
We put that to rest.
Oh, did we?
You wanna go again?
Yeah, let's go again.
Gwen, you did not come up
with the name of my store.
Yes I did. Twin
Sneaks was my idea.
-No you didn't.
-I came up with it.
It was my idea to
watch "Twin Peaks".
You didn't even like
the new "Twin Peaks".
Nobody likes the new
"Twin Peaks". It's crazy.
Okay, lemme get this straight.
You wanna get a
cut of my business,
because when you were high,
you wanted to
watch "Twin Peaks".
All I need is 150 bucks.
You could have had a cut.
You were supposed
to be my partner,
but when the time came to sign
for the bank loan, you slept in.
You're scared Gwen.
Scared and delusional.
And this friendship
is completely toxic.
That's just like
your truth, Allie.
No, that's the truth, Gwen.
There's only one truth.
Twin Sneak has been
my dream for years.
Do you know how hard it
is to run a vintage store?
Let alone a vintage
sneaker store?
Nobody ever brings in sneakers.
I got this bitch
selling me Zara.
My profit margins are razor thin
and in this economy
I'm barely hanging on,
and everyone is leaving LA.
So just to be clear,
you're not paying
me back for drinks?
You can take something
from the sales rack
if you promise to just leave.
Ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha
This pussy's mine, bitch
You own me? Yo
you don't own shit
No car, no pet, no house
What makes you think
you'd own this?
This pussy's mine
You're on borrowed time
[phone ringing]
Fuck!
Hey Augustine.
Hey Gwen. I'm just
calling to check in.
I'm about to head to
the place in Malibu
and it would just be so great
if you could come
help me set up.
Mm. That's probably
not gonna be possible,
but I will definitely
be there by four.
You are not still trying
to buy me that gift, are you?
Because I looked at the registry
and the last thing on there
is way too expensive for you.
Don't worry about
it. Okay, I got it.
Okay. Well, I'd much
rather you come early
than running around trying
to scam money from people.
That's not what I'm doing.
The only gift I
need is for my sister
to be there with
clean hair, okay?
So come as soon as you can.
Got it.
She sounds really supportive.
She thinks I'm a total failure.
No one expects anything of me.
Who's next?
Ugh, Monty.
Do we really need
to go to Monty's?
You're the one who
put 'em on the list.
No, I just thought
Van would deliver.
This is a desperate
situation, James.
You need to text him.
Wait, don't open that.
What the actual fuck?
It's nothing.
Explain?
It's a Nicholas cage bust.
Yeah, I can see that.
This is some single
white female shit, James.
You know, I knew you
would give me shit.
So I was waiting for a good
time to sneak it past you.
Also, I'm not happy
with how it came out.
You had this custom made?
Maybe.
Dude. We are having a
serious talk about this
when we get home.
I still can't believe he
lives in this shit hole.
[gentle music]
This is how we die?
James, it's good to see you.
Well come in.
Come in, come in, come in.
Can I offer you guys anything?
-[James] I'm, I'm good.
-[Gwen] I'm good.
James, I am so glad
that you reached out.
I feel like we must
have been just kind of...
Oh my God.
Hmm.
It's the movie, you made DVDs.
Yeah. Aren't they amazing?
I just had 'em done
down the post track.
Hey, before you leave,
I'm gonna give you a stack
just to help distribute.
Give something to
your friend too.
Does anyone even
have a DVD player?
So the film festivals,
nothing happened?
I mean, it's been radio
silence for five years.
I figured they just fizzled.
Yeah. Well, fizzled
film festivals.
We all know that they're
nothing but political.
You know, if they don't have
Timothee Chalamet
in them, rejected.
Pretty sure there's
lots of movies
without Timothee Chalamet.
No.
Monty. That's sort
of why I'm here.
Oh, hold that thought.
What?
Cockroaches?
Oh, what?
I've got you motherfuckers.
Oh my God, dude.
My landlords trying
to raise my rent,
but I got cockroaches
everywhere.
And cockroaches, they
carry diseases, right?
Gonna be a big, big payout.
It's probably all
the cans of cat food
you have lying around.
Well, yeah, yeah, of course.
So why don't you
just throw them away?
Because I need, I need
them to draw in the roaches.
They're like, they're
like little restaurants.
You know, I, I'm just
trying to make shit happen.
The landlord, he ain't even
gonna know what hit him.
Okay. Look, Monty, I
am here for a reason.
When we shot your
movie, as you know,
I was sag, and I signed a
deferred payment contract
for the 50 bucks per day rate
you promised plus residuals.
It's been five years.
You're selling DVDs.
I'm gonna need that money now.
I can't believe,
I can't believe what
I'm hearing right now.
Out of all the selfish
Hollywood bullshit that
I've ever heard, I've,
this takes the cake.
Preying on an indie
artist for a buck.
Wait, I preyed on you?
I starred in your film.
I even put rentals
on my credit card
so you can make this thing.
The script was terrible.
Some male gaze '90s crap.
You made me take my top off.
Oh, shit.
It furthered the story.
Everybody agreed
it was a good idea.
Then you just sit
on it for five years
only to find out that
you're trying to sell DVDs
and not pay me a dime.
Copies in China. In China.
That's 600 miles away.
Is it any good?
Of course not.
It's fucking great.
I love that movie so much.
Listen, I think,
I think you two need to leave.
Look, there's a
cockroach right there.
No, where.
Grab the DVDs.
[upbeat music]
No one can see this movie.
Don't. Don't let them escape.
I'm telling your landlord.
My baby.
[upbeat music]
[Gwen and James screaming]
[upbeat music]
[car engine revving]
What a fucking weirdo.
We are definitely
watching this tonight.
No. Absolutely not.
You should really
get that looked at.
Oh, there's no time.
It's almost two o'clock.
I just gotta keep hydrating.
You do know they clean
car engines with that stuff.
Who's next?
[James] Looks like Leslie.
Oh, fuck.
I hate Leslie.
We could save a lot of time
if you just text your boss.
I mean, you told me he
was doing illegal shit.
He'd be scared not to
give you the money.
[Voiceover] Kreep Peepz.
Hey, I just got a
message from Kreep Peepz.
[Gwen] Really?
Yeah. It's a woman.
She's asking for an
in-person meetup.
Can we do a live show?
Logistically?
It could be complicated.
Tell her it's 150 for an hour
She says yes. Give an address.
Seriously?
It's not far.
[Gwen] Kreep Peepz
coming through.
You really wanna go
to some people's house?
You said it's a woman.
That's chill, right?
[James] It could be a catfish.
-It's all of our money.
-What's the problem?
Trust the universe, James.
Okay, let's do it.
Oh my God. Does this mean
I'm officially a sex worker?
I think so.
Ooh, so [indistinct]
So timely.
All of the land
You stand upon
Forefathers
Profited from
You're blissfully aloof
You can't see the truth
About where your
money came from
We bought lies
Still benefit from ties
Of the people we
robbed of their homes
How does it feel
To wake up
Let's just get our money
and get the fuck outta here.
[doorbell rings]
You came. So
honored to meet you.
We're so glad you're a woman.
We thought this could be
like a catfish or something.
No, I'm very much a
human being not a fish.
Please come in.
I've only recently become
a Peeper, as they say.
So I'm quite new to this.
I saw your video and
I was just blown away.
No pun intended.
What?
Nothing.
Was that a joke?
Yes.
I get it.
[subtle music]
Sit.
Well.
What?
Fart?
What?
What do you think I
brought you here for?
I want to see your act, so fart.
I don't think we
can just do our act.
I need to ascertain
that you can deliver
what you promised.
We can.
Wait, I got one.
[subtle music]
Where's the smoke?
Like in the video with
all the different colors.
That wasn't real.
We don't actually fart in color.
I thought you were special.
Look, I just need
150 bucks, all right.
We came all this way
now pay us why you owe us.
It is I who has been misled.
I was promised something
that turned out not to be real.
You've wasted my valuable time.
It is you who is the cat's fish?
That is the appropriate usage.
No, this is fucking psycho.
You actually thought we
farted colored smoke.
It's why I had to meet you.
How did you find us actually?
I barely have any Peepers
and I do not promote this.
Yeah. What the
fuck is going on?
All right. You've
found me out.
The truth is, I've been
searching for years,
looking everywhere,
all across the globe.
Trying to find someone like you.
Someone like me.
[dramatic music]
What in the...
No, I can't talk right now.
Leslie.
Leslie.
[car engine revving]
[upbeat music]
My daddy says he's
friends with Uncle Sam
I try to change his mind
and those baby booming ways
Both my hands are full and
I still forgot something
I walk fast I talk fast
You better listen fast
or get left behind
This shit looks nice.
I don't know about this.
Oh, come on. He's been
scamming you for years.
He has a way of getting
to me. He's not safe.
I'm here.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
[knock on door]
[upbeat music]
[men shouting indistinctly]
James!
One second.
They're all wearing
the same thing.
[James speaking indistinctly]
Gwen, I am so glad
that you two joined us.
Thanks for reaching out.
Because today is the day.
Alright, what is all of this?
This is the source.
Okay, look, we're
actually here for a reason.
Like a real one?
Yes, because the universe
brought you to me [chuckles]
Let's go. Come on.
Oh wait. First, please follow.
You started an
Instagram for this thing.
Follow please.
Good, perfect.
Okay. You guys are
welcome to join us.
Come on in.
No follow back.
Leslie follows no one. No one.
Brutal.
Okay. Just keep in mind
how difficult this is for me.
What are you guys doing here?
Van, what the fuck?
This is my weekly support.
I'm I'm, I'm here
like once a week.
Red flag.
Okay, so everybody
welcome our newest recruits,
the newcomers, James and Gwen.
[crowd clapping]
Lost and desperate souls,
you are here with us
to enjoy the maximum
potential within yourselves.
We do this through a
variable of techniques
such as breathing,
primal scream,
and quantum manifestation.
Oh my God. Leslie
started a cult.
And this is not a cult.
Who said what now?
You did actually,
you literally just said,
"Oh my god. Leslie
started a cult."
Didn't realize that came out.
Yeah. Well this
isn't that, okay.
This is about love
and abundance.
Can we go talk over there?
Oh, right.
You see, there's
no secrets here.
So you can say whatever
you need to say
right in front of the group.
Well, we're in a bit of a jam.
And I was, I was
hoping, or I thought...
We're here to collect the
money that you owe James.
I owe who money?
James, for the pyramid
scheme that you roped her into.
Pyramid scheme.
Yeah. Prepaid psychics.
[chuckles] Oh, that is
definitely not a pyramid scheme.
It's actually a very, very
valuable service that we provide.
Well, I, I didn't
get any readings
and you know, I spent
all my time recruiting
and they're still
billing me monthly.
You scammed her and
God knows who else.
Probably everybody here.
Leslie, please.
We really need the cash.
Can you refund my subscription?
Oh, James, I always
wanted the best for you.
You just seem so
hopeless and pathetic.
You need to work
on just letting go
and releasing all
of this energy.
Who are you mad at really?
Is it me or is it you?
It's you dude.
It's definitely you.
I thought you had
made such progress,
but lo and behold you have
not made much progress at all.
I've made progress.
James always looking outward
to try and find others to
fix what's wrong inside.
Are we still carrying
on those delusions
of marrying Nicolas Cage?
Let me help you James,
because if you don't,
I fear you're
going to die alone.
Do you want to die alone?
No, but...
No buts, yes is the answer.
Are you seriously gonna let
this Jonestown
wanna be bully you?
Gwen has anybody ever told you
you're just kind of sour?
What the fuck?
Feel the love of the source.
Join us.
I know that you need saving.
[crowd screaming]
You just seem so
hopeless and pathetic.
You need to work on
just letting it go.
Releasing all of this energy,
delusions of marrying
Nicholas Cage.
You wanna talk about
what happened back there?
No.
For you. For you.
Oh, what is this?
The ceremonial juice.
Cheers.
Oh my God.
Is this really happening?
See you later.
See you soon.
Leslie.
I feel dingly.
Van.
[James and Gwen screaming]
[dramatic music]
Do we call for help?
We were never here.
Hurry! Hurry!
I'm trying.
[James screaming]
[car engine revving]
[upbeat music]
[Gwen] What time is it?
[James] It's 3:30.
The fuck. We're
running outta time.
Oh, fuck. It's in the kidneys.
Yeah, it's not
just gonna go away.
[phone ringing]
Hello.
Hey Gwen. So it's 3:30,
and the party starts
in a half hour,
and I really thought you'd
be here at this point.
Yeah, sorry. Some
stuff came up at work.
It was, it was an emergency
and I had to propagate that.
Okay. Yeah, that's fine.
But you're on your way, right?
Yeah, as we speak.
You have the address, right?
Yep. Right here on my phone.
Oh, shit. Getting another call.
Sorry. Gotta go.
I'll see you soon.
Honey. Honey, it needs to
go all the way over. Okay?
Thank you.
Mom.
Hello.
Where are you?
The party starts in a half hour
your sister's really upset.
On my way, mom, all right.
Everything's fine.
Your sister always
shows up for you.
I need you to show
up for her sometimes.
Mom, if you want
me to get there,
I need to get off
the phone, okay?
Goodbye.
Shit. Okay, who's left?
Wait, that's everybody.
Fuck. Why is everyone we
know such a goddamn dead beat?
Shouldn't we just head there?
I'm sure your sister would
rather have you there
empty handed than
not there at all.
The party goes until 8:00.
We just need to get
there before it ends.
Well, there is one other option.
No. Okay. I already said no.
You have so much
dirt on this guy.
I don't get it.
It's fucking
disgusting and dangerous
and I'm not going over there.
You know I've opened up
some serious wounds for you
and you won't open
up one of your own.
-No. Alright.
-It's not happening.
You know what, I'm just
gonna head to Venice.
I know where he lives.
Seriously, James, stop
fucking pressuring me.
I just think it's so fucked up
that you have put
me out all day long
and now we have an
actual solution,
a solution we should have
done from the beginning.
But you don't wanna do it
'cause you don't
wanna face some shit.
You don't understand.
He took advantage of you.
Since when have you
ever backed down
from some fucking asshole.
Get off my fucking case.
I am so sick of your shit.
I mean I just keep
giving and giving
and anytime you have
to take responsibility
or face anything hard,
you just back down and
leave me high and dry.
I let you on my Kreep Peepz
and I lost all my followers.
I need that income Gwen.
And then you just send me out
to relive all my past trauma
without even a second thought.
You haven't once asked
me if I'm okay today.
I might be an accessory
to mass murder
and you just don't give a shit.
I didn't force you to
do anything, alright?
You're just desperate for a
chance to meet Nicholas Cage.
Oh my god. I did it
because I'm your friend.
Well, good. 'Cause I lied.
Lied?
About Nicholas Cage.
There's no connection
to Nicholas Cage.
You know, it's so
fucking pathetic
that that's what it
took for you to help me.
And it's even more pathetic
that you actually believed me.
This is exactly why you keep
getting into trouble James.
Leslie was right, you are weak.
Fuck you.
Fuck you back.
You're delusional.
Someone needs to set
your shit straight.
Where are we even going?
We are going to Venice.
Fine.
Go to Venice.
Aren't you brave?
[gentle music]
Okay.
[gentle music]
Aren't you coming?
[knock on door]
Guinevere. Wow.
Durant?
This is unexpected.
Surprise.
Would you like to come in?
You know, I wasn't sure
if I'd ever see you again.
And I figured you of all people
might be one of the ones fleeing
in this so-called mass exodus.
But this is a real treat.
Well, I was in the neighborhood.
Tea?
[Gwen] What?
-I just brewed a pot.
-Would you like some tea?
Oh yeah, sure.
And your friend.
This is James.
She'll have a cup too.
Great. Why don't
you have a seat.
On the floor there please.
So still got the
factory going, huh?
Thriving. We just got a
new printing system set up.
Hired a new girl.
She's really modernized
the operation.
So this is an
organic Sencha tea.
Shade grown, from
Kagoshima, Japan.
Well, Guinevere,
what brings you here?
Well, my sister's having a baby.
Oh, congratulations.
New life is ever
present, isn't it?
I just got back from
Venice at the Biennale
where I saw James
Terrell's birth canal.
It's this immersive sensory
exploration of the journey
between birth and death,
life, if you will.
And when you emerge from
the gelatinous tunnel
covered head to toe
and placental goo,
it really gives you
a deep appreciation
of the mother deep down within
each and every one of us.
Cool. That actually
sounds really cool.
So listen...
[phone vibrating]
-Sorry, hold on.
-Gimme a second.
Yeah, that's Berlin. Excuse me.
Hello?
Nine. Nine.
I definitely need it tonight.
I don't care what's realistic,
I have a buyer and
they need it tonight.
Dunca!
Okay, well obviously I'm
extraordinarily busy.
So why don't we just
cut out the pleasantries
and you can just tell me
exactly why you're here.
Well, well I'm kind of in a jam,
you know, with my sister
and I need a little
cash to get her a gift.
I see.
And you know when you fired me,
I never got my back pay.
When I fired you.
Guinevere, I never fired you.
What have you been telling
your friends darling?
Look, you're scamming people
outta lots of money, okay.
I know about the fakes.
Just gimme my money and I
won't report this place.
Report me.
You're stealing art.
I'm sorry. It
was James. Was it?
Do you know anything
about the art world?
It's all fake.
Okay, listen male,
you abuse my friend.
You stole money from her.
Just pay her what you owe her
so we can get the
fuck out of here.
Sure.
What?
What?
Yeah, I'll give you your money.
I mean you earned it.
I, I would've given it to
you if you hadn't left.
I'll be right back.
What the fuck is going on?
11,000, right?
Might be a little extra.
What?
Do you want to
tell your friend here
how you earned it?
I mean you came here
on self-righteous.
Gwen?
You know she ran out, right?
Just upped and left and
never saw her again.
You told me he fired you.
It was my job to find
undiscovered talent.
People with good
potential or whatever.
I wrote the contract,
convinced this guy he was
getting a big gallery deal,
and then we stole everything.
It was a great plan.
Undiscovered artist,
unbelievable talent.
No resources, and now
his talent is my talent.
I saw him a few months
later living out of his car.
You know, if he's a real artist,
he'll just appreciate
his work is being seen.
No, you took advantage of me.
I didn't know what I was doing.
Oh, please. You were
way too smart for that.
Besides you got your money now,
do whatever you want with it.
Fuck you.
You know it'd be great
if you got the fuck
outta my house.
[upbeat music]
Gwen?
Let's talk about this.
Gwen Stop.
What?
I got the money.
Isn't that the point?
Isn't that why you
made me go over there?
Well, that's a lot of money.
Yeah, a lot of
money that he owes me.
He's just another
piece of shit scammer
in this goddamn
hell hole of a city.
We deserve that money.
Yeah, I, I think you need
to start taking some
responsibility here.
I'm a horrible fucking
person, is that what you want?
Gwen?
[car engine revving]
[upbeat music]
Oh my God.
Are you fucking serious?
Are you fucking serious?
Get the fuck away from me.
I am just trying to talk to you.
Oh, you mean you're
just trying to judge me?
I'm not judging you.
I don't know how many more
times I need to tell you this,
I've been here for
you all fucking day.
Oh my God.
There it is.
It's beautiful.
[subtle music]
What time is it?
Almost 5:00.
[subtle music]
You sure you wanna spend that?
I have no choice.
What? No.
Oh my.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Are you fucking
serious right now.
Somebody, somebody
has to be in there.
Come on, I know you
can fucking hear me.
Come on. We know
you're in there.
Please, please.
Fuck. It's not 5:00 yet.
Fuck. Hello.
Fuck!
Gwen it's over.
Shit.
They're closed.
I'm fucked.
Everything is fucked.
You're not fucked.
We can still make
it to your sisters'.
It was never about the gift.
It is about the gift, James.
People who have their
shit together bring gifts.
That is a story
you're telling yourself
about what you believe
society expects of you.
You need to rewrite that story.
What the fuck are
you talking about?
What if this whole day
has been the universe trying
to tell you something?
I seriously cannot deal with
this shit from you right now.
You need to take
this as an opportunity.
An opportunity?
To raise your vibration.
Raise my vibration.
To become your best self.
My best self.
Yeah.
Show you my best fucking self.
What are you doing?
Vibrating.
What are you doing with that?
Achieving enlightenment.
What the fuck does it
look like I'm doing?
Gwen, are you crazy?
Maybe.
Gwen, stop it. It's mine.
No, it's mine now.
I just got it. It's priceless.
It'll survive.
Don't go.
Think about this.
You'll be crying, motherfuckers.
That's gross.
[dramatic music]
[glass shattering]
[upbeat music]
Oh my God.
What a rush.
Holy shit.
You do realize
they will find us.
They probably have cameras.
I mean whatever.
We're never on the west
side, it doesn't even matter.
That's not how that works.
Malibu, here we come.
Oh my sister can
eat my ass, right?
Are you, Gwen?
Jesus Christ.
It doesn't matter
what to call it
[phone dings]
Fuck!
My phone just died,
do you have a charger?
Really?
Please tell me you
wrote down the address.
Malibu?
You didn't write
down the address.
Why would I write
down the address?
I have my phone.
What are we gonna do?
Just drive.
To be rich doesn't give
you the right to be a bitch
Being rich doesn't give
you the right to be a bitch
Being rich doesn't give
you the right to be a bitch
Being rich doesn't give
you the right to be a bitch
A little life wasn't
waiting for you to solve it
A little rich doesn't
matter what you call it
A little rich doesn't matter
Oh my God.
What's wrong?
What do you think?
Oh, shit. It burns.
Well, you did just drink
a whole cup of poison.
How much further?
We're almost out of gas.
-I don't know.
-Just keep driving.
Maybe I'll recognize the turn.
I can't believe this.
Oh my God James, I
don't think I can...
I really need you to pull over.
I can't pull over.
If I pull over, I can't
start the car again.
Our best chance is
to keep driving.
I don't understand.
Why are we out of gas?
Music, music will distract you.
[upbeat music]
Try this.
[Radio] Let's suppose that
you were able every night
to dream any dream
-you wanted to dream.
-What the fuck is this?
-It's my [indistinct]
-dream class.
It's all I have.
[Radio] Within one night
to dream 75 years of time.
And you would naturally,
as you began on this
adventure of dreams,
you would fulfill
all your wishes.
You would have every
kind of pleasure.
I really need you
to pull over please.
[Radio] And after
several nights...
If I pull over, we're
not gonna make it.
Why didn't you fill out?
Fuck, I can't hold it.
Don't.
It's happening.
Oh, my God.
Gwen don't.
I can't.
[James screaming]
[Gwen] What's happening?
[James] The car is dead.
[Radio] You would dream
the dream of living the life
that you are actually
living today.
What the fuck?
Why didn't you fill up the tank?
We had the gift.
We were gonna make it.
You didn't write
down the address.
Who writes down addresses?
You got piss all over me.
I have a UTI.
Which could be fixed easily
if you would go to the clinic.
I can't go to the clinic.
I don't have any money.
Well, now you do.
Harsh, real fucking harsh.
Oh, you really wanna
start this up again?
Help me understand here, okay,
who doesn't fill up the tank
before they go to the west side?
Goddammit Hannah James.
I told you never
to call me that.
I'll call you whatever
the fuck I want,
'cause you just fucked me.
All you had to do is
fill up the goddamn tank.
Well, I can't fill
up my goddamn tank
because I can't
use my credit card.
I'm maxed out on
all my credit cards
and I'm past due
on all my bills.
And you wouldn't know that
'cause you don't care about
anyone except yourself.
So thank you for somehow
always forgetting your wallet
every time we go out for coffee,
and you know when you say
you're good for it, you're not.
You are not good for it.
Why can't you use
your credit card?
How much debt could
you possibly be in?
I made a lot of debt.
Okay, well what's a
lot like a thousand?
Try 70.
Thousand?
Jesus. Fuck, James.
Why didn't you
ever tell me this?
How did you get in so much debt?
'Cause that's what
happens when you,
when you move to LA with
some vague idea of a dream
and you, you try everything,
everyone tries to make
money in this town,
but you just constantly
and completely
fail at all of it.
-And how much did Mr.
-Cage set you back there?
Oh like the board
sent me back, Gwen.
The fucking board,
you know our board.
You know all those ideas
we were so passionate about
for like five minutes.
Well, guess who paid
for those ideas?
Me, you know, from the failed
web series to Kreep Peeps.
That's not true, okay.
I paid for some of that stuff.
No, your parents paid.
And now I am in debt up
to my fucking asshole.
I don't have a family
to bail me out.
I just got 11 grand, all right,
so you can have
whatever you want.
No, I don't want your money.
There's dark energy
swirling around it.
[air whooshing]
We were so close.
What do you think
your sister's doing?
I'm sure she's stuffing her face
and probably cursing my
name for all of eternity.
I bet she's just
worried about you.
Yeah, you're probably right.
You wanna pull
a baby tarot card?
Fuck it. Why not?
Oh my God.
What?
It was just the display.
Could you imagine
showing up an empty box?
[Gwen and James laughing]
Oh my god.
What the fuck?
It's probably better that
I'm just not even there.
[James laughing]
Seriously, they would've
fucking kill me.
Hey, I'm really sorry I
lied about the Nick thing,
but dude that is like
seriously disturbing.
I really think you
might need to like
actually talk to somebody.
Also, I think you need
to start standing up
for yourself more, even to me.
[air whooshing]
So what are you gonna
do with all that money?
[air whooshing]
[waves crashing]
You're sure about this?
I'm sure.
Wait, this will
probably contribute
to the great Pacific
Garbage patch.
What's a few more bits?
[subtle music]
It's beautiful.
For what it's worth,
you're gonna be a
really great aunt.
Holy shit.
I'm gonna be an aunt.
Yo, what the fuck?
Are y'all really throwing
money into the ocean like that?
What?
Do you not know how many
homeless people
are in this city?
That is the most
privileged pollution
I've ever fucking seen.
You know what?
What the fuck...
We need to go, we need to go.
[James] We should probably
walk to a gas station.
Mm. There's just one more
thing I think we need to do.
Bathe myself in
the afternoon
Won't get out until the
water's cold and I am blue
I see it, I'm killing doubts
So I just open up the
door and I ring it out
Don't you get too
far from yourself
You're so hard on yourself
Oh, you'll get through
Only hard when you
say it's too hard
Color in, color in
Feeling empty outside
of your outline
You scratch at the
door of the divine
Within, color in
You can't stand the
greatness of sunshine
You hide in the bones
of a stock image
Shave my head
in your bathroom
Sweep my hair under your bed
Look in the mirror
till I forget
Everything I know,
everything I did
Was just a way to make
the time feel faster
Oh, you'll get through
Only hard when you
say it's too hard
Color in, color in
Feeling empty outside
of your outline
You scratch at the
door of the divine
Within, color in
You can't stand the
greatness of sunshine
You hide in the bones
of a stock image
Of a stock image
You hide in the bones
