Slip

Uh!

Thank God.

What the fuck!

Yeah, shit can get pretty crazy here.

I hoped at a lesbian bar

I wouldn't have to deal with fights,

but you'd be surprised how many brawls

- I've had to break up. - Huh!

I'm Sandy.

Mae.

Okay, let's get you up.

- Oh, careful. - No, I can do it.

- It's okay. I got you. - Oh, no. I got it.

Please, I'm good. I'm... I'm really okay.

Yeah, I'm just gonna,

I'm just gonna go back to my, uh...

I don't have any of my...

You should probably put some ice on that.

It's sort of a tragic tale.

They met here. Love at first sight, all that.

Fucked in the bathroom.

Wow.

Moved in together a week later.

- That's fast. - Everything was pretty cherry.

They had this, like, epic psychosexual connection.

Neither was a top or bottom,

just this fervent mutuality

based on respect and admiration.

But...

in the end, it just proved to be too much.

What did?

Having the same name.

Plus, Lisa M. was a narcoleptic.

Must have been thirsty.

So, why I haven't seen you around here before?

Uh... I wish I could answer that.

You're not from here?

You could say that.

Where are you from?

Uh, another dimension.

Same.

- Really? - Yeah.

Think my whole life I've felt like that.

No matter where I was, I never really belonged.

Right.

And my dad was a pastor, so me coming out

didn't go over super well.

You okay?

Oh.

Yeah, I, um, took a pill of drugs.

What kind of pill of drugs?

Um, MDMA.

Okay. Well, shit.

Yeah. I would offer you some, but I don't have...

- No, no. - ...any .

I'm good. I'm seven years sober.

- Oh, shit. - Yeah.

I'm sorry.

No, that's good.

I don't usually, um, do... do like...

- Right. - Or I guess,

actually in this world, I do.

Wow, that sounded insane.

Um, what I'm trying to say is, um...

that I get it.

Like, I get wanting to be like actually present...

because I... I've never felt that I could be.

Like, I've always just felt like, um, you know,

like an outsider looking in.

But now...

it's like I'm in like those, um, weird shoes

they make you wear in spin class.

You know, like, I'm like, clicked in.

And it all just suddenly doesn't feel

quite so overwhelming or, like...

defeating, you know. I guess.

Just sort of dissipates

and you can get out of your own way

or, like, step behind the thing that's been chasing you

and just let it run.

Just the relief

that it's not yours anymore to carry.

Sorry.

Ooh, sorry.

Here I am making a case for drugs.

Hey, no... no judgment here.

So you are sober and you own a bar.

Yep. Define masochist.

Right now?

You just did.

Oh. I get it.

So, what was your life like in the other dimension?

Oh, um...

I was, um, married to a man.

- Twist. -

Yeah. We met in college.

He was, uh,

kind of all I ever knew.

I mean, certainly the only real family I ever had.

I think eventually I became so, um...

like borderless.

I took for granted how maybe, um...

sacred it actually was.

It's an interesting word, sacred.

My dad used it a lot, especially when he talked about love.

I don't know. I think sex is a sacred act.

Love is just this...

elusive idea...

we're all just grasping at something

none of us know how to define.

We spend most of our lives... worried about

what they're supposed to look like that we...

miss living altogether.

I've never done this before.

What?

I've never done this before.

Me neither.

Fuck.

Oh!

- -

No!

Oh.

Oh, where's my shirt?

Where's my shirt? Where's my shirt?

Gonna be fucked.

Oh, fuck you. Where's my fucking shirt?

Oh, my God!

Oh, God.

Um...

Shit, what was her name?

Uh...

"Sandy."

Oh.

Hey. Come on, we gotta hustle.

You grab the cake out of the fridge.

Come on, rascal, let's go. Let's get your shoes on.

Honestly. You're not gonna say Happy B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y?

Happy, uh, birthday.

Thanks, Mommy.

Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Um, do we have... Oh, here it is.

And the princes didn't even want that princess.

- They went back to the castle. - Mm-hmm.

Right, Mommy Mae?

Huh? Uh, yeah.

- Gina. - Mae Day. Listen.

I'm sorry, babe, I'm not gonna make it to this party.

- Gina, please. - I know.

I love you. I love Sandy even.

Okay. She's just a little young for me

to really know how cool she is.

- Gina, listen to me. - Please don't be mad.

I got three new dogs added to my route

and two of them have epic diarrhea.

Also, I had the worst date last night.

Listen to this.

So, we're in bed and suddenly I see the dude I'm fucking

standing in the doorway,

but I'm certain he's also on top of me.

So, I'm like, did I take a hallucinogen

I'm not aware of?

Because, you know, remember that time

I drank that boba tea and it had mushrooms in it?

So anyway, I'm straight up tweaking.

I'm full-on freaking out, screaming,

one of my twists on the floor.

Turns out, dude has a twin.

Okay, okay, Gina. I need you to come here.

Did you hear a word I just said?

Yes, but I need to talk to you about something

that's more important. Okay, so please can you,

can you please just come here now?

Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe.

I am literally the most sorry...

...but I truly gotta run.

- These bowels are tragic. - Gina?

Love you. Mean it.

God! Duh!

You hungry? I can make you a plate.

I, um, I'm okay.

Hey, what's good?

Yes.

Hi, beauty.

Mae, it was so fun.

Thank you for having us.

Well, this is cute as hell.

Thanks. The theme is Frozen.

- Oh. - Oh, not the movie.

The number of embryos this crowd has on ice.

Always coming hot with the lols.

Hi, it's my birthday.

That's right, sweetie.

It means we have...

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, Eva, wait till after the cake.

- This party is fire. - It's all Mae.

I don't expect anything less.

Tell them about the cake.
