Everything's Gonna Be Okay

I tried my best, but I can't.

I just can't.

I'm never gonna be able to do this alone!

Do you wanna go home?

Okay.

We're going back home.

Who is this?

- Oh! - Oh... Ohh!

Alone again.

Hey!

Hey. Hey!

It's the time of day that we come in.

Huh? Us, the people that you like.

Yeah.

The time of day where we come in

and try to change your life.

For the better!

Get out.

Well, um...

we thought you might change our lives for the better

by hanging out with us.

And do what?

Well...

There's things to do.

Yeah.

We'll find things to do.

- Yeah. - Shut up!

And get out.

Oh.

No, okay, yeah.

Of cour... W-we'll... We'll...

Look, um, why don't we give you some more time?

How much time today?

Sixty minutes?

Oh, wow, that's a lot of time.

Matilda?

Ninety minutes?

Set timer for 90 minutes.

But, like, what are we going to do today?

Maybe we should take the trash out?

Interesting pitch. Let's discuss.

Please can we take the trash out?

Hmm. I don't know.

- Please! - Well, you see...

Hmm...

But, like...

Do we want to take the trash out?

Do you know what I mean? That's the real question.

'Cause, like, I don't know really if I feel like it.

I don't wanna take it out.

- Mm-hmm. - But-but...

Just hear me out.

Mm-hmm.

It'd be nice to have an empty space to put new trash.

No...

Please, can I just do it by myself?

What? Oh, my God.

Alone? How could you?

In what world did you think

we were gonna allow you to do that?

- How dare you? - Then come with me!

This actually isn't easy, is it?

It's not easy because I don't wanna take the trash out.

But also I don't want you to leave us alone,

but also I don't want you to be disappointed

if we don't do it.

What if I just, like, did it?

I don't like it when you threaten us like this!

I'm being helpful.

You know damn right what you're being!

Stop ganging up on me.

Stop ganging up on us!

I'm bored of this now.

You're bored of this, are you?

What, you think I'm not bored of this?

You think he... You think he's not bored of this?

We're all bored of this, Genevieve.

Permission to complain,

forty-five seconds?

Granted. I'll set the timer.

Okay, when you watch the end-of-the-world movies,

they always gloss over the subplot

where there's a guy who's just finished college,

and he's excited to become a dentist,

but he can't become a dentist anymore,

because there's a pandemic,

and he's got $292,000 in student loan debt.

And he was excited to become a dentist

but he can't become a dentist anymore

and he worked really hard to become a dentist.

Yeah, I mean, I was expecting an apocalypse would have

a lot more running and killing and loving super hard

and Aerosmith playing.

And I love you both, but--

This is not a life.

This is not a life.

It's not a life.

I yield my time.

Oh.

Um... Do you want... You wanna look at my teeth?

Are they giving you trouble?

No.

But I'm willing to pretend.

Okay.

Okay. Well, then we need your tiny mirror.

Alex, where is your tiny mirror?

Ugh. It's not in here.

Did you take it?

I don't think so, but...

I mean, probably. I don't know.

Does anyone remember me

wanting to look at something small

that's also around a corner?

Hmm.

Should we find it or...?

I can't remember why we thought this was funny.

Me neither.

I'm sorry, baby, you'll get to be a dentist one day,

and-and it will be beautiful.

Yeah, you're gonna be the most delightfully dainty dentist.

What's that timer for?

Matilda.

Oh, shit.

You can't keep coming in here.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, no, that's been said.

I'll come out, I am, I just need to focus on my work.

Oh...

What are you working on?

I've got a lot of projects.

My workload is in the roof these days.

Um, what projects?

You're being unfair.

Matilda, are you telling us the truth?

Yes. Why aren't you on my side?

Well, there's no sides.

If there were though, we'd be on yours.

I need to focus on getting into a local college.

Okay.

Yes, if I don't,

then I'll have to get a job at a factory

putting caps on bottles,

like Jeremy is probably doing.

- Well-- - Is that what you want for me?

No. Babe, all we want for you is to come have a sandwich.

Not all of us can prance around all day like you do.

Okay, um...

maybe we can, uh, help you with your work?

You can't help.

Okay, well, how about you play piano for us?

I will later.

Okay.

Let's just, um...

Set timer for one hour.

Mrs. Hall So, in America, when in doubt,

follow the money, honey. Right?

How much do you think the Civil War

had to do with ending slavery?

And how much do you think it had to do

with the Northern bankers furious with Southern planters

taking their profits

and depositing them in English banks?

Shit.

No, I fell asleep. Oh, no.

Now I'm never gonna get to sleep tonight.

And Alex is going to fall asleep so early,

I'm just gonna be there in bed

next to him trapped.

- Trapped? - Yes.

Yes, trapped.

Scanning for new moments in my life

to feel ashamed about.

And I don't know what happened at the end of the Civil War.

Please tell me, Genevieve. Please.

We ended slavery...

sort of.

Well, that's good.

All right. There's been a change of situation.

You need to understand that I'm in charge actually,

and if I say that it's time to get out of bed,

then that's it.

That's it. That's done.

That's the thing that happens.

That's stupid.

You're not the boss of me.

Matilda, that's it.

You're getting out of bed.

Today, like now! Like right now.

- No! - It's non-negotiable.

Make me.

Well, if that's what you want, yes, then I'll make you.

Just get out! Get up! Get up!

Nicholas, you're being hostile.

Oh, God, the floor is just too nasty.

You can't decide what's non-negotiable.

I'm 18. I'm old enough to enlist in the military.

Well, fine.

If you don't get out of bed,

I'm gonna enlist you in the military.

Matilda, they wake up really early.

They won't take me, I'm autistic.
