Better Things

Jesus! Ugh!

I just bought these.

Really? How did this happen?

Ooh!

Ooh!

Seriously?

I'm bigger.

I'm a big lady, man.

Okay. It's okay.

You fit me?

Not bad. No!

Mm.

Did my boobs just get... fat?

Ugh.

Look, honey.

Before, after. Before, after.

Favorite jacket.

Who's the lucky guy?

Meet you around the corner

in a half an hour.

Ugh.

Ooh!

- Oh, yeah, I like that one. - Our favorite.

Condoms, condoms.

Pads. Pads.

Panty liners, panty liners.

Condoms, condoms.

Oh. PMS relief.

You need, like, five of those? I'm kidding.

Condoms, condoms.

Ooh. DivaCup.

Oh.

- Aw, look. - Mom, I love this color.

Oh, me, too.

Ramen. Ramen.

- Oh. Vaginal contraceptive foam. - Mom.

Ramen.

Pregnancy tests. Plan B.

- Mom? - Plan B. Plan B.

Jesus, what the fuck?

Well, you know, you could keep 'em in a bowl.

You know, for a party. You could pass 'em out like candy.

Max, I got ramen.

Oh. Advil. Benadryl.

Claritin. Emergen-C.

Motrin. Motrin.

We're probably gonna have to buy this stuff

in two transactions, you know, because they have...

- Meth labs, Mom. I know. - Yeah. Ooh.

Ooh! Neti pot. Neti pot.

Ooh!

The competition-- you got to be ready

for when they open the building, baby.

Ready for what? Mom...

Mom, I-I-I just want to get a good room

or, like, a-a... a good bed space.

I don't even care if the room is that great.

I'd rather have the best bed in the worst room

than the worst bed in the best room.

Hey, didn't you play

in that show about the lawyers in space?

Oh. Yeah, that was me.

- I knew that was you. - Thank you.

Listen, would you mind if you could give us a hand?

That's fine. Ugh.

Okay, we got to figure out how to get you into the dorm

with all this shit, baby.

What if my roommates are psychos?

This is giving me so much anxiety.

I mean, what-what am I doing?

All freshmen... - This is by far

the scariest thing I've ever done.

But at the same time, I feel like

I'm really putting myself out there and living my life.

- Sort of like how a pioneer feels when they go off... - Honey! Honey!

- What? What?! - Honey.

: Go!

Best bed in the worst room!

Okay, well...

These things.

Oh.

Just gonna take them myself.

It's fine.

It's fine.

It's fine.

Hi. Thank you.

Can you watch my stuff for me?

I'll be right back.

Just, if you look... if you just keep an eye.

Thank you so much. I'll get you a cup of coffee.

We'll have coffee together. Thank you.

Oh, really? Are you just going with her?

- - Aw... Oh, you're not?

- Hello? Oh, I got to go.

Oh, hi! Are you our neighbor?

Hi. I'm Talasco. This is my room.

- Roomie!

Hi!

Okay. Oh, uh,

- you're in here with me. - Oh, we're in here?

Sweet. Yeah, where are you from?

I'm from California.

- I can see that. - Oh, yeah? You like L.A. girls?

Yeah, yeah, you got that vibe. You got that vibe.

Oh, do I?

Oh, hi. Talasco. I'm the mom.

- So... - Don't worry. Gay. Mostly.

I'm still figuring it out.

Mm-hmm. Hmm.

Your daughter is safe.

Safe... for now.

My baby.

- My baby. -

- You're in the world. - I know.

This is the world.

Whew! Just drink it all in.

You know, take as many classes as you can.

Ask questions. Gather your good medicine.

"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."

Goethe said that.

I want to take you to hear music.

We're in Chicago. This is crazy.

Why do we have to wait till you're 21 to go to a place?

We gotta wait until you're a junior?

- Mom. - Hmm.

I would like to introduce you to...

my fake I.D.

- I've had it for three years. - Oh.

That is so awesome to hear that.

I know you had one.

Yeah, but I hid it from my parents.

Plus, I had to kill the lady whose identity I stole.

Oh.

Okay, Tracy Cromwell,

what's your address and date of birth?

47 Karucha Court; Arlington, Virginia 31425.

07/09/95.

- And this works? - Mom...

no one ever asks you for it.

I just...

Slut bucket.

- Let me see it again. - Yeah?

It's pretty good.

- Yeah, it's a good I.D. - So, we're going out.

- Really? - YES!

Oh, so you're not mad?

Cheers, Tracy.

Love you.

I love you.

- Hey. - Oh, my God.

- What's going on? - Hey. Oh, how are you?

-I'm good. My friend Samantha. I don't know if you... -Hi.

Samantha!

- Hi. - What's up?

- Um... -

Oh, uh... uh...

Love you.

Have fun.
