Just wrote this, so go easy on me.
- (laughs) - (brakes squeal)
Oh, this is me.
Getting off. Getting off!
This is my stop!
Got to get off.
Excuse me.
- (music stops) Hey, Nora,
attention on your work, please. No music.
- Thanks so much, Lucy. - I'll remember that.
Hello, Rechna.
No need to answer me yet.
The system is still processing a lot of information.
But I'm going to count to three.
Try to count with me in your mind.
One, two,
three.
Ah.
Oh, my God. Where am I?
It's all good, Rechna.
Welcome to upload.
There's an invalid syntax error on line 682.
Yeah, what is that?
Ah, it's another no-pointer.
I got it.
Ah, yes, nailed it.
Okay, the class definitions still need work.
God, no. I got to veg a little. I'll see you later, buddy.
- No, dude, we are so close. - Bye.
Car?
Yes, Nathan? - Clean camera lenses, please.
Begin cleaning.
You are 19 minutes from your
: Destin... ation.
Let's... go.
Shit.
Officer, it just started racing.
It was the craziest thing.
I will take it in to be serviced ASAP.
I'm on my way to my mom's place for Thanksgiving.
And could you imagine if they were waiting for me,
and my car...
Mm-hmm. Car,
- what's your story? Lost consciousness
for a minute. Will update
anti-virus software now.
Yeah, you do that.
There's a human life back here. Wow.
AI is just the worst, isn't it?
Okay, you can go now. Take it in soon, though.
I don't want to see you again.
Oh, no? What station you in... SoCal?
Should I call your longtime girlfriend Ingrid
and tell her you will be late?
Okay. See? That's not supposed to happen.
- Bye. - (whirring)
God. It's called being nice.
Whose car are you anyway, huh?
Citibank's.
Who's making the payments?
You are.
Me. That's right. Let's go.
Hey, uh...
sorry I'm late, Mrs. Brown.
I had to get the cakes, and I...
Whoa. Ingrid, you're here.
Am I crashing something right now?
Jamie, you're always welcome.
Come on. Nathan, get him a chair.
Yeah. Yeah, okay.
- What is she doing here? - I know. I know.
I didn't think it was a great idea, either,
and then she started crying, and I can't handle crying.
Why didn't you warn me?
I could have had Thanksgiving at Taco Bell.
Okay, yes, she's a little entitled,
and she can be kind of phony sometimes.
- But? - But she's my girlfriend, so get used to it.
If she's inviting herself to family Thanksgiving,
the next thing she's gonna expect is a proposal.
Get used to that.
Super.
So wait... this is called ambrosia salad?
Is it a dessert?
It's a salad.
Oh. (Short chuckle) Good.
- Mmm. (Muffled gag) So, Ingrid, Nathan says
you invited him to your grandma's hundredth birthday.
- Wow. 100. Impressive. - Well, she's in heaven.
Oh. Which one?
- Lakeview? - Hmm.
Heard that's really beautiful.
Yes. (Chuckles)
We are a Horizen family.
Unlimited data on both sides.
Upload's too expensive for me.
I'll be starting on a SIM card until these two
- finish their free version. - (soft laughter)
It won't take too long if Nathan parties a little less
- and programs a little more. - Mm-hmm.
Pay him a salary, you can ask for a drug test.
- Oh, yes! Mom! Got him. - (laughter)
- Uncle Nathan? - Yeah.
Can you help me with my classical dance homework?
Of course, honey bunny.
Oh!
Uncle Nathan!
- I could dance for another hour. - (panting)
Yeah. So could I.
No, you couldn't.
Oh, hi.
Hey.
We're, um...
we're done here, right?
You think they like me?
Yeah, you're so fuckin' hot.
What?
Uh, wait, what did you say?
Your family?
Yeah.
Your mom said I was the first girl
you ever brought home for Thanksgiving.
Oh.
Yeah, no big deal.
I think it's a big deal.
I feel very special, babe.
Cool.
You're welcome.
- (Ingrid giggles) - (horn blares)
Hey! - Whoa!
Asshole!
You don't have "prioritize occupant" on, do you?
Of course.
I care about us.
You don't prioritize pedestrian, do you?
Park.
Sleep over tonight?
Uh, I was gonna go meet Jamie pretty early tomorrow morning,
try and finish this thing up.
I'll make it worth your while in the morning.
Yeah, okay.
Good.
We need egg powder and a can of toast.
Super.
Thank you.
