Oh, my God. I love you.

Where are your parents? I wanna meet them.
I'm good with parents, I swear to God.
- Not mine but everyone else's.
- Oh. My parents, they, uh
they were crying so hard
and it was so embarrassing
so I was like,
"Scram."
Fuck.
I just sent my loser stepdad to go get
us another beanbag chair at Tarjay,
so now I hoped yours could
help me carry my vanity.
Our vanity.
I begged my mom, and she finally caved
and got us a GRÅFJÄLLET.
Okay, great.
Hey. Oh. Hey, papa bear. Hi.
Would you actually mind
carrying that to our room?
I'm just really exhausted carrying
these tits around.
There's the
last of it.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh. Benny, there's your sister.
Grace must have dropped 20.
And you thought her spending all
summer with Peter was a bad idea.
- No, I didn't.
- Sh-She looks like a different person.
- I didn't.
- Wow.
- Hey! Frisbee! Hit me!
- All right, watch out!
Sorry!
Nut sack.
- Are you okay?
- I'm good.
- Hi, Mom.
- You look fantastic, honey.
- Hi.
- Hey.
A million fucking colleges
and you have to choose mine.
You know Dad made me.
Only 'cause you've never
made a choice of your own.
Mr. S, I don't know if
Grace mentioned it, but, uh,
for most of the summer I was
interning with Hawksworth Financial.
You know, Ben's gonna be
a business major as well.
Ah, smart man, Bento.
- Thanks. I I love business.
- He loves business.
I'm sad I didn't get
to meet your roommate.
His intro email said he rows crew
so, probably has crazy hours.
Yeah, I think that's it.
Oh, Mom, it's okay.
- Who will I be when you go?
- You'll be okay, Mom.
Sorry.
Okay.
Awesome. Yeah.
- Bye, Mom.
- I love you.
I love you too.
