Transparent

Morning.

Good morning, sweetie.

- Is there coffee? - Yes. Gobs of it.

You're headed the wrong way.

- It's right there, princess. - Oh, okay.

Thank you.

Thank you for letting me sleep over.

Yeah. You look great in my kimono.

How'd you sleep?

Um, not great. I have to be honest with you.

There's sort of a wet heat in the turret,

and I... I couldn't find the AC.

There is no AC.

But you can speak to Sal about it when he gets out.

He's getting out? Is his release imminent?

- Mm. Parole. - That's great.

Yeah. Couple weeks.

- Oh. - Say your prayers.

Does he have a plan?

Sal always has a plan.

He's in for white collar stuff, you know.

The same shit that Martha Stewart went up for.

Oh, I love Martha Stewart.

Aww, look... You look amazing.

- Good morning, bitches. - Good morning.

How do you wake... How is that possible?

- Good morning. - Oh, please.

Last time I saw you, you were on the dance floor with that Marine,

and then, poof, you were gone.

Mm-hm. He carried you out of the club

like a wounded soldier.

My pussy's a wounded soldier.

Does she have a pussy pussy?

I'm sorry.

I'm right here, girl, you can ask me.

- Ask her. Say what you said to me. - Shit.

May I be, uh...

What, girl, spit it out?

Do you have a pussy? I mean, do you have...

- A pussy pussy. - Oh.

- Yeah. - Oh.

15 Gs, mama.

Which is why I don't understand why

she's still hanging around tranny chasers.

I prefer trans amorous.

I like getting fucked.

- Yeah, okay. - Well, here's to getting fucked.

- Here's to getting fucked. - Yas, queen.

Yes, queen.

- Yas. - Yas, queen.

- That's not quite... - Yas, queen!

Okay, let's not... Can we not do that anymore now?

She'll get there.

Uh, Jesus.

Hey, hey, hey, sweetie.

Isn't that your friend Tennessee over there?

Why don't you just go ahead and run in with her?

- Mom. Mommy, walk me in. - No, no, no,

- I'm really late, and I got... - Please?

I got so much I have to do. I'm sorry, sweetie.

Listen, um, don't forget it's Daddy's weekend, okay?

- I'm gonna miss you like crazy. - Okay.

- I love you. - I love you, too.

Barb: So, yeah, just look over all the papers,

and then sign right there.

- Yep. - Oh, okay.

- Hey, Barb. - Hi, Sarah.

How's it goin'?

- It's goin' all right. - Yeah?

Yeah.

What's all this?

It's the Nitty Gritty Committee.

You know, trash pick up, make posters,

sort e-waste, you know.

Whatever falls through the cracks.

It's perfect for parents that want to appear like they give a shit.

That's perfect for me.

Uh, no, you're not, uh...

There, no, this... You can't be a part of my committee.

Uh, yeah, uh, okay, I get it. I totally get that.

I just... I thought I should sign up for something.

I mean, I don't know. It's like everybody's doin' something, and...

Listen, I don't... I don't know what... what people know.

A lot of people know a lot of things.

- People gossip. - Great. Thanks.

- Yeah. - Well, that feels better.

Um, I mean, you know, I don't have to do that.

We could just go get coffee or something if you want.

Coffee? No.

I'm not goin' to get coffee with you.

Look, I'm sorry if my boundary is your trigger.

I don't know what that means, but okay.

All right. Bring it in.

The eagle has landed.

Um, let's go in there. You'll be in my room.

- This way? Oh, cool. - Yeah.

- This one? - Yeah.

Right to the left.

- Wow. - So, look, the bedding is old.

I'm gonna get you some new bedding.

- No, that's fine. - And the lamp's broken,

but, uh, I saw a cool little lamp at the MOCA store.

And, uh, this, I... I did get this for you ahead of time.

Leather scented candle. Check it.

- Dang. - Yeah.

That's awesome.

- Good? - Yeah, that's, um, that's great, man.

Thank you.

Hey, uh, this may sound dumb,

but, um, you're cool with me calling you Dad?

Yeah, I think so.

Do I need to think about that?

I'm thinkin' about it. The answer is yes.

- Okay. - All right.

- You're sure? - Yeah, totally.

Do you want help unpacking?

No, no, no. Thank you so much.

- Okay. - It's not much.

- Yeah, thank you. - All right. All right.

- Uh... - All right, good.

- Want a hug? - Yeah.

All right. All right.

Oh, dude, right here, right this spot under the stairwell,

no-man's land,

shit went down, dog.

- During school? - Feel that?

Yeah, during school.

Oh, lucky number 11. Here it is.

Oh. See if I can remember.

That's... that's my favorite number.

Fuck it. No way. Here we go!

Come on. Come on, come on, come on.

- You just broke that. - I know.

So... so, what, were you like a... a player?

Oh, I had my fun, but what about you?

You're a good looking kid. I bet you did all right.

I mean, I've... I guess I've known a few girls

in a Biblical sense.

- Really? - Four or five a least.

Wait, wait, wait wait. Four or five different girls,

or, like, four or five different times?

Different girls.

Never told anybody that before.

- Well, let's go make you legal. - Yeah.

Josh: What about Mr. Slaughter?

- Is he still here? - Nope. Not here anymore.

Ooh, um, Mr. Irons, head discipline dude.

No, long gone. Now him I've heard of,

heard the stories.

The dude was hard core.

He used to walk the halls with a paddle.

Crazy days.

Actual job title on his door, "Disciplinarian."

Okay, so you're his legal guardian?

Uh, no.

I am his biological father.

But, you know, we can get the legal guardians to sign this.

It's just, um, a little complicated,

but he is living with me.

And you live in the district?

Check.

Okey-dokey, Colton. Welcome to the Pacific Palisades.

Thank you. And would it be possible...

Could I get locker number 11?

Ali: But it feels like nepotism.

Maura: It's not nepotism.

I just want to introduce you to

a few of my connections.

Ali: I may not want to stay in L.A. for grad school.

There he is.

Hello, Carl.

Professor Pfefferman, look at you.

Thank you. So good to see you.

You, too.

- May we sit? - Please.

- Thank you. - Sit, sit.

- So... - So, how are things?

- How's Hobsy? - Oh, Hobsy's doin' fine.

You know what he's like.

He's gonna be here forever.

Yes, he is 'cause he's un-hirable.

Carl: Yeah, I thought you could take him with you.

He's on his third wife.

- He's got money. - Oh, is that right?

- Oh, absolutely. - Oh, Leslie.

Leslie, this is the person I want you to meet.

- Ali Pfefferman. - Hi.

- Leslie Mackinaw. - Hi.

- Hi. - Ali.

Ali. Pleasure.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Leslie, your name is so familiar.

Did I read you in undergrad?

Is that right? Are... you're a poet.

I am indeed.

Yeah. Oh, you're great.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, I thought Leslie would be the perfect person for you

to learn something about women's studies.

Oh, I'm afraid you'd have to go someplace else for that.
