Transparent

Hi. Security!

Just kidding.

Sorta kinda.

Can we talk?

Yeah, sure.

Oh, okay. Here.

Um, let's... Yeah, okay...

I just had this experience the other day...

...With my mother,

and I kind of had this epiphany

that I know what my problem is.

Oh. Uh-huh. And my problem is that I wasn't parented.

Oh, you were talking about that orphanage theory.

You were raised in the palisades. Yeah, that was tough.

But someways, it really... i mean, my mother really...

I wasn't mothered.

Weren't mothered? You know?

And I've been, like, looking for that love

to fill that missing mother love, you know?

But I kind of lost the plot completely,

which is that I'm not here to get that.

We're here to take care of each other.

And I didn't take care of you.

Oh... And I'm sorry.

So why... why now?

No text, no appointment... Oh, god, I'm sorry.

No email... It's yom kippur today.

Oh, it's yom kippur today. Yeah.

So I have to come today. Oh.

You go... it's kind of like trick-or-treating.

Trick-or-treating. People that you hurt, you think about.

Think about your wrongs and apologize,

and then ask for forgiveness.

You know, then you get forgiveness,

and then you sort of absolve yourself.

Cool.

Or you get absolved. Thank you, Sarah,

but I don't want your apology.

Happy yom kippur.

Okay, I was supposed to ask three times.

I think I only got two in there.

I'll admit that I'm Jonathan bowles'

top 101 break the fasts.

I got it.

Whoa. I got it. It's fine.

Okay. Chairs there. Okay.

Actually, on that side, please, so they're across from each other.

No. Yeah. Symmetrical.

So you're still mad at me, I take it.

Well, you didn't tell me you were going over to Leslie's house,

and you definitely didn't tell me you were gonna stay over.

Okay, what if I was vaguely attracted to her?

What if?

What if we could just talk about it?

Process it together? Maybe even get turned on by it?

Okay, so what? You're into polyamory now?

No, I'm just saying, what if we didn't have this, sort of,

knee-jerk, hetero-normative...

Listen to yourself. Listen to yourself.

You've been queer for, like, 30 seconds.

Jesus. That's my point.

Listen to me.

What is being queer if not questioning everything?

Right?

What it means to be in a relationship

that's loving and trusting and generous and...

And we can do that however we want.

We can make up our own rules.

Isn't that exciting?

And I just want to talk about this stuff before it gets

hard and bad and just do it right,

just be open and brave.

Knock, knock. Special delivery for miss maura.

Nobody's gonna say I'm a bad host, huh?

I was worried that you might be getting hot up here.

I don't know if you know this, but heat rises.

Scientific fact. What's... what? Oh.

What's going on? What is that?

It's a swamp cooler. Oh.

Yeah, it's gonna blow some nice cool air on you.

Oh, thank you. So, did you sleep okay?

I'm actually having trouble sleeping lately.

Let me ask you... What?

What kind of hormones they have you on?

You're asking... um...

Do you know about this area?

Yeah. Oh, um...

They have me on what they call...

Testosterone blockers. T-blockers, yeah.

Well, that sounds about right... Yeah.

For a start.

What are you thinking about facial... Feminization wise?

I'm not thinking... No? Well, I'm thinking

lower that hairline, maybe some cheek implants

and some fat transfer, you know?

Maybe a forehead reconstruction.

Maybe a little... maybe a facelift.

If I might? Yeah.

500 ccs in the titty area.

Nothing too big, 'cause that's not you, you know?

No, it's not who I am. No.

Did you know I helped shea out back in the day?

Nope. Shea's a beautiful girl.

Gorgeous. She is.

Work of art.

When she was done, I felt like fucking Michelangelo.

Wow. Yeah.

I wanted to sign my name on her ass.

Okay. Yeah.

When the time comes,

I'll be happy to help whatever you need.

Thanks, sal.

I mean, maura, you still got some good years left.

All right.

I'm already starving.

It's only 10 in the morning, mom.

Do you see why I wanted to get here early now?

There's assigned seats. It's not like you're gonna miss the trailers.

Oh, I could go for a little buttered popcorn right now

with some raisinets.

Maybe Raquel can sneak us past this fakakta security. Yeah.

Good to see you. You have your tickets?

You're all set? Good. Good yontif. Hi.

I was schvitzing out there.

Good yontif. Good yontif to you.

Good yontif. Hello.

So are you two brother and sister?

Are you my third husband?

Ooh. Oh, my god.

Let me ask you.

I have two tickets reserved that I haven't paid for yet.

Is there a senior discount?

Look at you. You'd never qualify.

And also, there's no discount. Sorry.

No matter. You already made my yom kippur.

I'll look for you in there. I'm up front.

My son's engaged to the rabbi.

Good taste. I see where he gets it.

Good yontif.

I'll be right back.

Um, hi, it's me.

Hello.

Hi. Um, okay.

I just came by 'cause my mom bought the tickets in July.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm here.

I didn't want you to think, like, I was stalking you.

I didn't want you to freak out if you saw me in the audience or whatever.

Well, thank you. Thanks. Duly noted.

Um... okay, so...

Oh, Josh, I... It's a little embarrassing.

But I just also... I'm confused.

And I had a quick question

about what I'm supposed to tell my family.

Because, you know, they're just, like,

asking me a bunch of questions...

That's none of my business. Tell them whatever you want, buddy.

No, I know. But I just didn't want to say the wrong thing,

'cause I don't know what we wanna be saying...

We're over.

Okay.

What a pleasant surprise,

you crawling through my window like a sexy Peter Pan.

I'm in a shit mood, okay? I need to get happy, stat.

Feisty, all right. Obliterated.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Go easy on that lamb's bread.

Holy shit. That's very strong stuff.

That's from Bob Marley's mother plant.

It's his mother's plant?

What?

What? Oh, my god!

You are adorable.

No, it's from the mother plant,

like the mother of all sensimilia.

I mean it, though. You need to go easy on that.

This is so good.

And it tastes so good.

It tastes really strong.

That is my private stash.

It is just for me...

And people going through chemo.

Are you saying I can't handle it?

Are you asking me as your doctor...

Or your lover?

Oh, my god, please, don't say that word,.

What? You don't like the word "lover"?

That is the unsexiest word that was ever created.

Did you not come over here for a little bit of lovemaking?

We don't make love.

What did you come here for? I didn't come here for that.

I came here for your big fat bong

and the free weed. That's what I thought.

These aren't ripe, but it's all they had.

It is really hard to make food when you're starving.

Everything is starting to look like food.

I could eat this counter.

I could eat that spoon.

It looks like Swiss cheese to me now.

Hey, Ali?

I'm... I'm freaking out right now.

Okay. What's wrong?
