I still don't know what this is.

Oh.

A loft space that looked like...

Hey, baby.

I'm stealing her for one second.

We'll be back!

I want you to

meet Ezra and Megan.

Hi!

Hey, how are you?

Hi.

Hi.

They're not capable of

independent thoughts.

I need to pee really quick, guys.

Okay.

Sorry. Okay.

Sorry. Hello. Hi.

Hi!

I'm so glad that was you.

Are you having a good time?

Yes.

Do you like people?

Everybody's so nice.

Your friends are so nice.

You think so?

Maybe they're just

being nice, but...

No, they're nice.

Are people making you nervous?

No. Everybody's...

You want me to drive you home?

No.

And I don't want to be one of

those people that just, like,

continues to do the...

Thank you.

Do the same kind of stuff.

You know what I mean?

No?

I'm gonna put on some music.

It's okay.

Oh, no.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Have you guys seen Jenny?

No.

Hi. Have you guys seen...

Well, her name's Jenny,

but she came with me.

She has long

brown hair and like,

kind of like an aquiline nose.

No?

So you're just saying she's in...

She's asleep in your bed?

She's passed out,

like, blackout.

And you shook her?

I shook her and I just...

I'm worried that she's gonna be sick.

That's horrible.

I'm so sorry. I know.

She was in the bathroom

for a long time,

and I don't know, and...

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, no. It's fine.

I'm gonna go handle this right now.

And we'll be out of your house

in five to seven minutes.

No, you don't even

have to leave, just...

I want to leave.

I'm embarrassed.

No, you don't want

to leave, but, yeah.

Jenny.

Jenny, baby,

this isn't the place to sleep.

This is someone's bedroom.

We're gonna get you back

to your own bedroom, okay?

Okay, let's move it,

okay, Jenny?

Jenny, I need you to

get out of the bed.

So I'm gonna take you

out of the bed now.

That hurt.

Don't kick me.

I don't want to have to touch

you in these place... Ow!

These are coming

off here. This is...

You just opened your eyes like a

person who knew what you were doing.

Get up! Get up!

I beg of you to just get out of the bed.

This is embarrassing for me.

This is honestly

embarrassing for me.

Hello?

(CLEARS THROAT) What?

Is she okay?

Okay.

You can go back to sleep.

What? What?

Okay, will you just text

me the address and I'll...

I'm gonna jump in

the car right now.

I'll be over there

in just, in a sec.

Okay, no, no. I'm glad you called.

Okay, thanks.

Jenny?

I'm gonna need

you to just stand up

and then I can carry you

the rest of the way,

but will you please

just get up enough that...

I'm fine.

This is what I was dealing with

in the bedroom, by the way.

I'm fine. Don't!

I'm so...
