Search Party

- Dory.

- Dory.

Dory?

The waitress is asking for your order.

Can you please just say "eggs" or something?

You're scaring me.

She's back.

Hey.

Hmm? Oh.

Sorry. - That's okay.

Could I just have...

Some ice cream?

Neapolitan.

- You got it. - Just ice cream?

I mean--sorry.

That's so fun! I love that you ordered that, girl.

Oh, that's cute. Ice cream.

She was brainwashed.

So Dor, how you feeling?

We can go home right away, or maybe we could go

to the police first and then leave.

Yeah.

Yeah, that makes sense. - Yeah.

Yeah, we should report it.

He can't do this to anyone ever again.

Okay. Great.

So we'll, uh, go to the police,

and then you can sleep in the car

on the drive back to the city if you need to.

What do you guys live for?

What's up? What?

Like...

Like, what gets you up...

in the morning?

I love acting.

Hmm.

Well, um--

what do you love about acting?

- Okay, well, I fundamentally believe

that watching celebrities talk in the form of lines

can help people cope with life and, like,

honestly, for me, that feels noble and, like,

a reason to get up every morning.

Hmm.

What about you, Elliott?

What about me, what, honey?

What...gives you meaning?

- Honestly, lately, it's been all about, like,

connecting with the unexpected.

Like, my work literally has me engaging

with the kind of people we would all regularly avoid,

which I guess is just kind of exciting for me.

You know, to represent the people

I have a hard time loving. It's a challenge.

But it's also kind of a fascinating place

to be in your life, and...

you know, to be honest,

I don't know if I believe anything that I just said.

Drew?

- Um...

yeah, uh, you just do.

Okay? You just-- you just get up.

Because you have to.

All right, look, I know, Dory, that you're going through...

and have been going through some sort of...

unique trauma or something,

but generally, we have it very easy.

Or do you think starving people in other countries

ask themselves these questions?

Do you think that our ancestors did?

No! They just got up, all right?

They got up, and then they painted

their little caves or made tools

out of a saber-toothed tiger tooth or whatever, okay?

They just...they just did.

They didn't think about it.

They just got up.

I just...

I don't even know what I'm gonna do when I get home.

It's like...

Who am I even gonna be?

You're just gonna be Dory,

Dory.

- I just don't know if that's a good thing to be.

Dor, you're great.

I'm a hazard.

- Dor, I think you just have to really remember

that, like, you didn't want

any of this to happen, you know?

- Yeah, most of this stuff happened to us.

You know, we--we didn't have any real agency

at any given moment.

You know, we have to start taking

more responsibility for how little responsibility

we've actually had in our lives.

I think there's something...

wrong with me.

He saw something in me,

And I'm just terrified that...

That there's this person...

deep down inside of me that...

I don't fully understand.

And that I cannot trust.

I think I made all these things happen.

Well, to be fair, girl...

your 20s are all about...

Th-that.

- What? - I don't know!

I'm sorry, Drew. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

At least I tried to say something, okay?

That was noble. You're just sitting there

with the fucking half and half

like you're... making butter.

Okay, Dory.

Is there something that you're trying to tell us?

- You never should've looked for me.

Okay, yay, ice cream.

Is there anything else I can get you?

Hmm.

Yeah, it's not the same.

- Uh, Dory. - Dor...

Where is she going?

- I can-- I honestly can bring her

literally anything else.

- You're doing beautiful work. It's not about you.

Thank you.

- Okay, honestly, this is mean, but she sounds like an idiot.

That was like a conversation you have

with someone in college.

Are you the...the twink?

But you can call me "Chip."

I'm your best friend.

Stephanie.

- Well, Stephanie, I'm thinking...

we go out into the world together.

I need you to trust me.

I went, like, very far

with women.

- How come I didn't know that?

- In middle school. - God.

Why is my brother calling me?

Hey.

Why do you need to know?

I already told you where I am.

Yeah, I'm at a motel. It's called "The Babyfoot Inn."

It's like the only motel in town.

Why are you so concerned about where I am these days?

Okay, weirdo.

Bye.

Everyone has lost their minds.

- I know. - I know.

Is this cashmere? It--

It's wool.

- Tasteful tattoos. They're so sweet.

Chip, love, please, talk to me.

I mean, you--it's-- it is hurting my heart

to get this cold treatment.

I'm just in shock, okay?

I just need to process this on my own time.

I understand, but I tried.

I tried my very best to raise you from a distance.

When you were a toddler, I made candy bars,

and, you know, I cut a hole in the middle,

and I sent them to Richard to give to you.

And then when I was at home, I would imagine that...

you were eating the bar while I was at home,

eating the hole.

And together, then, that meant that we were eating...

the entire candy bar.

There they are.

Teens.

Yoo-hoo! Boys!

You like fire?

- Babe, you know, you don't need to tip.

Not outside the city.

- Yes, you do. You always have to tip.

- No, but I think in like rural towns like this,

you can cap it at a 5%

because a dollar goes a long way here.

Where the hell is Dory?

- Wait, wasn't the car parked, like, right there?

Is the car gone?

- Oh, no. - Shit!

- Dory? Dory! - No!

Oh...my God!

Did she go back to him?

Did she go back to the twink?

Ow, my knee!

Oh, twisted my knee!

Oh, shit.

Mom?

Shoot!

He saw me.

I'm sorry, he saw me.

- Mom! God damn it! You screw up everything!

What are you doing here?

Hi. Oops, sorry.

Are you-- are you Andrew?

- Yes. - I'm sorry.

I'm supposed to give this to you.
