Cassie?
What did I say about
needing more alone time?
You need it
right now?
Please don't argue.
Well, you could give me
some notice.
Where's Cassie?
She's upstairs.
Is she coming down?
Not tonight. No.
Cheers.
What?
You know that girl?
I don't think so.
The Massachusetts state
driver's manual?
I have my road test
next week.
And it's making you cry?
No.
Sweetie, you're really
freaking me out lately.
I know.
I'm sorry that I'm so...
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna take out
the trash, okay?
-Can I help you?
-Hi.
Hi.
Do you know...
You know who I am?
No.
No idea at all?
Should I?
Sorry.
It's kinda weird.
I-I'm not a crazy person.
I'm...
Okay.
Who are you?
-Can I have a hug first?
-What?
I'm sorry. I'm really
exhausted and nervous,
and I... I really...
I need a hug.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So?
You're Davis Green.
And I'm Alexis Green.
And we're cousins.
No, you have
the wrong person.
No.
No, your dad is Ronald Green. He's
a developmental psychologist.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
And he doesn't have
any siblings.
No, no. No, he does. He has
an older brother, my dad.
And they just never,
like...
You forgot the trash.
Cassie, thi...
Okay.
I'm not who you're looking for.
My dad doesn't have any siblings,
and I don't have any cousins,
and we have the last name,
but it's pretty common, so...
No, no.
Please... Please leave.
It was really nice
to meet you, Davis.
F***!
I have to tell you something.
THE AUTOMATIC HATE
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you. You're very kind.
I'm glad the applause sign
is still working.
This is HD 115.
Human Development.
If you're looking for
"Heavy Drinking 115,"
it's across the quad,
down the block to Mulligan's.
Human development.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is a baby.
One of the great
mysteries of life.
Who is she?
What will she become?
Will you be a painter?
A head of state?
A murderer?
By the way you're looking at me
right now, I'm guessing the last.
Thank you.
And is it inevitable...
What she will become?
Is it predetermined?
Or is someone, something out there
going to be transformative?
Nature, nurture?
That is the question.
to a closer understanding...
that the question
is bullshit.
The answer is
far more complex, subtle...
than any black or white
conclusion.
It is much more... gray.
I want to thank Jane,
my PhD student...
Thank you... who gave birth specifically
for the purpose of this class.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a spy among us.
Sitting in the back, that bearded
gentleman, is my son, Davis.
What has he become?
You're still dating
the, ballerina?
Cassie, yes.
It's been that long?
Well, that doesn't mean that
you still can't take out...
one of my beautiful,
brilliant PhD students...
on an innocent little
museum date, does it?
That's exactly what it means, Dad.
Cassie moved in.
Right, right.
See, I always thought she was one of those
fun things, you know, like a placeholder.
Why'd you think that?
Well, she's
a little bit impulsive.
Emotional,
out of control.
Yeah. So?
Your mom will be ecstatic
to see you.
Hi.
Hi, Mom.
...that he is good
at creating jobs...
This can't be right.
Four-letter word
Rouen.
It's St. Lo.
You have to
abbreviate it.
S-T-L-O.
I hate when they don't tell you
that they are abbreviating.
You just opened up
And the riddle.
for all of us. Anything you want?
You're gonna do
your cooking thing?
Okay.
I ate already.
But yeah, you should...
go do that.
Hi.
How's he doing today?
He's fine.
Lots of napping.
Could you give us
a second?
Yeah.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, Davis.
Can I talk to you
about something?
Y... You know, your mother
painted this, Ronnie.
You mean Grandma
painted it.
Right, Grandpa?
I'm not Ronnie.
I'm Davis.
Yeah.
Is that my dad?
Yep.
And who's that?
That's Joshua.
What?
Why, that's Joshua.
Who's Joshua?
We do not talk about Joshua.
Why not?
Who is he?
No, no, no, no.
Easy. Okay.
-Okay, okay.
-Ronnie!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Grandpa.
Ronnie. Ronnie!
-Okay, easy. It's okay.
-Ronnie!
No, no, no, no.
-Ronnie!
-Excuse me!
-Can we get some help here, please?
-No, no, no, no, no!
Everything's gonna be okay.
I want you to look at me.
Right here.
...a fixed term next year.
than nine million dollars...
to influence the outcome of this
year's statewide ballot questions,
and the heavy offenders...
Who is he?
According to a new report
from the state office...
of campaign
and political finances.
WDUR's Shannon Mullen reports.
The report shows
the biggest spending...
Davis, Davis, Davis, Davis!
Where are you going?
-To check on Grandpa.
-Why?
What's wrong? Is there another relative
you're afraid he'll tell me about?
Davis, wait a second.
What did you say to him?
All I did was ask him to explain
the painting. Do you want to?
You have a brother?
No, I don't.
Not anymore.
What happened?
I can't even begin
to explain it,
nor is it any
of your goddamn business.
There's a reason
this has been kept from you.
Leave it alone!
You don't know what you're about to do.
Trust me.
Hey.
You know what time
they open?
In about an hour.
You work here?
Nah, man.
Just waiting for my refill.
You too?
Yeah.
Wait, what?
Check it out.
What?
I thought this was
a thrift shop.
It is, man, but they've got
a dispensary inside.
You know, they grow it
and sell it on their farm.
If you don't tell them where you got
the address, I'll give it to you.
I'll take that address.
Hi. This is Cassie.
Leave a message.
Hey, Cass, it's me.
I have almost no service here,
so I hope you get this.
I'm in a tiny town
called Dustin, New York,
driving
to my uncle's farm.
That girl who came
to visit me, Alexis...
She wasn't lying.
She's my f***ing cousin.
My dad has a brother
who I guess...
F***!
Today I caught
a girl shoplifting.
Okay. And did you
call the cops?
No, I let her keep it.
It was so cute on her.
What? You can't just
give our clothes away.
It was like... It would've been two
dollars, She couldn't afford it.
You know we're open, right?
You can come in.
Yeah. I'm just...
I'm just lookin'.
Thank you.
Who was that?
He was just looking
at dresses.
Hey, guys!
Hello.
Hey, Alexis.
Yeah?
It's Davis.
Hi.
What do you want?
Can you talk?
Sure.
Hey!
Hey.
Why... Why did we have to
meet all the way out here?
'Cause it's fun.
And my parents are home. I wanted to
make sure they didn't see me leave.
Come on. I've got a
surprise for you.
-You sure my car's okay back there?
-Yeah.
You wanna tell me
where we're goin'?
Nope.
A hint maybe?
There's some people
you need to meet.
Ladies, come on out.
Davis Green, this is Amanda
Green and this is Annie Green.
He looks
a little like Dad.
No, he doesn't.
Not now.
When he was younger.
