What's going on over there? PJ: That's Remi's place.
BARNES: Who? Remi Aguilar?
What, is she famous or something? PJ: Yeah. I mean, kinda.
How was I?
CARMEN: You were wonderful. JAVIER: Great.
I mean, so calm. And eloquent.
You have a real camera presence.
I didn't sound too pretentious when I called
the other finalists my "peers"?
No, not at all. No, don't be ridiculous.
JAVIER: No, I mean, that's what they are. They are your peers.
I know, but that's such a gross word.
You know, I... I feel like the mere act of using it
makes me sound like some sort of snob.
You make a good point.
Carmen! What? I hear her argument.
No. Thank you, Mom. CARMEN: Yeah, yeah.
You are not a snob, okay?
In no world are you a snob. CARMEN: No.
PJ: She's like the smartest girl at my school.
Perfect SATs, perfect everything.
I heard she won some big Google fellowship thingy.
I bet they're interviewing her for that.
Is she cool? No idea.
I think I've said eight words to her in four years.
Who does she hang out with?
Honestly, I think her parents.

Okay, I think I'm all set.
Okay, well, text us when you get to Penn Station.
Yeah, and when you're safe in Stephanie's dorm.
JAVIER: You know, navigating the city alone could be a little overwhelming.
Yeah. I put some mace in your bag just in case.
Where? What-- CARMEN: Honey,
we just want to make sure you're okay.
I know, but I think I've been to New York enough times.
It'll be fine. JAVIER: Okay.
Better to have it and not need it, right? Exactly.
All right. I love you guys.
Love you. Love you.

Are you Remi?
Uh, yeah. Okay.
I thought so. I...
This is gonna sound, like, super weird, but I...
I was just talking about you today.
My friend was telling me about this, like, super smart girl
that won this Google award, and she, like,
lives across the street from him or whatever,
and I just saw you on the platform, and I thought, "Wow, crazy coincidence."
Kind of random, but I just thought, I don't know,
I thought it was cool, so I thought I would say hello.
I'm not a stalker.
[CHUCKLES]
Who's your friend? Oh, PJ.
Fader? Yeah. He... he lives...
Yeah, neighbor. Mm-hmm.
He's a drug dealer, right?
PJ? No.
Okay, I'm not naive.
There's people coming in and out of his place all afternoon.
Well, yeah, he-- I mean, he--
He sells weed sometimes, but he's not like a drug dealer.
I mean, his cousin lives in Colorado and sends him stuff
sometimes, and then he, you know, resells it to people he knows.
At a profit?
Okay... I see what you did there.
I'm Barnes, by the way.
Did you say "Barnes"? Barnes Hawthorne.
Barnes Hawthorne? Yeah, I know.
It makes me sound like a crusty old author or something.
I'm assuming that you're referring to Nathaniel Hawthorne?
I wouldn't call him crusty. You know...
I know, technically, he was a Puritan and whatever,
but he was really edgy and provocative for his time.
You know, just a direct influence to Emerson and Whitman,
and I don't know, I think there's crustier authors out there.
Right. Right, right, right. Just, yeah.
PJ said you were a genius. No. I'm not a genius.
[PHONE CHIMES]
BARNES: Oh!
I'm on the floor tonight for the David Byrne show at the Beacon.
Really good seats. You said David Byrd?
David Byrne, like from... Talking Heads.
I'm stoked.
You know Talking Heads? No, I haven't--
I don't. Yeah. Really?
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Talking Heads are this New Wave band from the '80s,
and the lead vocalist, David Byrne, he's like the greatest performer ever.
He's such a crazy guy.
They made music, like, 40 years ago,
but it sounds like, it's from the future.
It's incredible. You have to check it out.
Yeah, I never even heard of them.
BARNES: What about you?
Where are you going tonight? REMI: I'm visiting Columbia this weekend.
Okay... Is that where you're going next year?
Maybe, but I just want to see where I get in first.
I'm sure that's gonna be a real nail-biter.
What do you mean? Well, you're gonna get in everywhere.
No, not necessarily, I don't think.
Come on. I'm serious.
You've got perfect SAT scores.
You've got the whole Google thing.
You've got the whole Hispanic thing.
The whole Hispanic thing?Yeah.
You have-- "Aguilar" is Hispanic, no?
Yeah.
I don't see how that's relevant.
You don't? No, I don't.
I didn't mean it like, that you need a leg up or... or whatever.
You know, if you did-- Right obviously, you don't.
That's not what I'm-- I just mean if you did,
having that particular background wouldn't necessarily,
like, hurt your cause, you know?
I think I'm gonna... get back to my podcast.
Really? So, that's it? We're... we're done?
No worries, man.
I will relocate.
REMI: Yeah, I'm at the station now.
I'm getting on the second train.
Yeah, I know where I'm going.
Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry about that. Hey, Remi!
Remi!
Sorry. I'm still not stalking you.
Okay. I swear. I...
I made you a playlist.
What do you mean? Yeah, a...
a bunch of Talking Heads tracks that I thought you would like.
I made it public, like on my Spotify, so you can just--
You know, because I thought...
There's only one other Barnes Hawthorne on there,
but he's, like, you know, some old guy who listens to country music
and stuff like that, so I'm the other guy.
Okay.
Also don't shuffle it, because the order is intentional.
I started with the more, like, accessible, mainstream stuff,
and then down near the bottom, it gets into,
like, experimental territory, so it's... it's cool.
Just... yeah, so I don't know. Check it out on the train or something.
Yeah. Or don't.
You know, no pressure whatsoever. All right.
I wish you good luck at Columbia.
Thank you. Good talking to you.
Yeah, you too.
BARNES: Hey!
Are you-- You're not-- You should take the three instead.
Why?
If you get on the local now,
it's going to make, like, a million stops.
It's gonna take forever.
But if you take the express to 92nd and then transfer to the local.
You're gonna save yourself, like, 30 minutes.
Are you sure? I'm going to the same place.
You said you were going to a concert?
I am. I'm... I'm stopping at my cousin's place first.
It's on 119th, so...
You take the express with me,
you're gonna save yourself a major headache later.
That's all I'm saying.
Sorry about before.
It's fine. You don't need to apologize.
I... I-- It was a little rude. I felt like a dick.
Yeah, maybe it was a little dickish.
Yeah. I hate when people make assumptions about me too.
Apology accepted.
Yeah? All right. Yeah.
Well, okay, so... let me start over.
I know you're not a shoo-in, but just for fun.
You get in everywhere you applied.
Where you gonna go?
Harvard. Boring.
Okay, yeah, whatever.
It's the predictable choice, but...
it's Harvard.
No, seriously, the courses, the professors, the resources...
they're insane.
Their track record for getting undergraduates
into top law schools is unbelievable.
You wanna be a lawyer.
Yeah, it's been, like, the thing since I was five.
Are your parents lawyers? Yeah.
My mom's a litigator and my dad's a consultant.
Who does he consult? Mostly lawyers.
Yeah, but they do corporate stuff.
I... I would do public sector.
So, advocacy and legislation, labor and employment too.
The plan is a circuit judgeship by 40.
Holy smokes.
That's making good time. That's... [SCOFFS] Wow, man.
Seems like you've got it all figured out.
What about you? What about me, what?
Where are you going? I'm not.
You're not going to college? Correct.
Yeah, but you applied. Nope.
People who don't even think they're going to get accepted apply.
I bet even PJ applied.
Seems like you're struggling to understand here.
Okay, so no college. What's the plan? What are you doing?
I'm taking a gap year. To do what?
What do you mean? How are you using your gap year?
For nothing. That's, like, the whole point.
Is it?
Mm-hmm. No plan at all?
Well, no, I told you, the goal is to do nothing.
So, one might argue that I actually have a very solid plan.
No one is arguing that. Oh...
Okay, but because you're not going to college,
you should, you know, bolster your resume,
or just get real-world, practical experience.
You mean like a job. Yeah, exactly, like a job.
Sounds like a lot of work. No, you're doing something.
I'm sorry. It's none of my business,
but at the same time, I'm inserting myself.
REMI: What about music? BARNES: Like, what do you mean?
I... I feel like...
I don't know, it's something you're really interested in.
You could probably get a really good internship somewhere at, you know,
a record label, or production company. BARNES: I see. Maybe.
No, it could be, I don't know. I'm just saying, you have options.
No, yeah, I'll... I'll keep it in mind. REMI: Because think about it.
You could do-- You just don't get it.
No, you have the freedom to do whatever you want.
You know, you could teach English in Kathmandu,
or you could plant trees in the Amazon,
you know, save the sea turtles in Costa Rica.
Sea turtles? Yeah.
I just saw this documentary on it, actually, at my dentist's office,
and they were-- Wait. Your dentist has a TV?
Yeah, you know, like the ones on the ceiling?
Yeah, right. Whatever. That's not the...
In the documentary, they were showing that, you know,
anyone could just go and work and live with these volunteers,
and you guys hatch these sea turtles
and release them into the ocean, it's--
That looks like an incredible experience.
Maybe you should take a gap year.
Yeah.
Why not? I got the college thing.
I mean, what's the-- Says who college? Take a gap year.
A-ha!
I see what you're doing. I get to dish out life advice if you do.
That's all I'm saying. I got it.
I hear the feedback. Okay.
Yeah.
I... I'm going.
I suppose this is...
goodbye.
Tragic.
Au revoir. Bye.
Hey. Remi, hey!
We should go on a date!
I'm sorry, what?
I was... I was... I was...
I was just saying, do you want to go on a date with me?
REMI: I literally can't hear what you're saying.
[BICYCLE BELL CHIMES] BARNES: Hey, watch out!
[GRUNTS]
Shit! Hey! Hey! Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. It's not even... that bad.
You know you don't have to stay with me, right?
I don't mind.
What about your concert? There's an opening act, so...
So, how about that date?
I feel like there's something happening here, you know?
It'd be nice to-- Nice to continue it.
You know, we could go see a concert.
We could go see, like, a movie or something, or grab sushi.
Sushi?
Yeah, I know this wicked sushi place. No.
You don't like sushi? No, I love sushi.
All right, perfect. Barnes.
What?
We are not going on a date.
Why is that? I...
I don't know. I feel like it's pretty obvious.
Is this about the pot? Because I don't smoke weed.
You know, as much as it might seem.
I'm not like a... I smoke weed--
I'm not like a-- I don't wake and bake.
This has nothing to do with the pot.
What is it, then? Look at where we are right now.
You think this is my fault? This is not my fault.
How? What, you want me to...
Okay, first, you sit next to me on the train.
You know, you talk my ear off,
and you're making me these curated playlists,
and then you sell me on the uptown express, and you--
I was trying to save you some time--
Yeah, but you're missing the point
that I'm trying to make though. I...
I just...
I have a lot of important things in my life right now that...
I worked really hard for, and I'm not going to risk messing...
it all up because of some cute guy I met on a train.
"Cute guy"?
She called me a cute guy. Yeah, you're proving my point exactly.
Aguilar, Remi.
That's you. Yeah. Yeah.
I...
wish you all the best, Barnes.
Handshake. Ouch.
Just one date?
It could be really fun. Sorry. I can't.
You're just not the kind of person that I want to let into my life right now.
Don't take that personally.
Why would I take something like that personally?
NURSE: Remi Aguilar!
REMI: Here. Keep it.
It's yours though. I don't want it.
Yeah, well, I'm... My bad.
Um. Yeah... wish you the best.
Good luck. You too.
Good luck with... the stitches.

CARMEN: Sweetie? JAVIER: Got a minute?
Yeah, what's up?
CARMEN: Aw, we were just looking at that.
Oh, yeah, that's that freshman seminar on political legitimacy and resistance.
That looks like it's gonna be fire. [LAUGHS]
And I've heard really good things about Professor Unger.
Mm. Yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
Was there something else, or...
Yes, actually. We wanted to talk to you about tonight.
Okay. CARMEN: We know that prom comes with certain...
expectations. Pressures.
Yeah. For girls.
Oh, um...
I actually don't think we need to--
I think we're... we're good. No, we talk about everything.
Yeah, sex shouldn't be any different. Yeah.
Well, I don't-- I think... I think I know what you guys are going to say,
so we should drop it.
Well, I mean, honey, your father and I trust you completely.
We just want you to know that.
Yeah, no, really, thank you. I am so good.
Well, we really like Lucas.
Well-- Whatever you decide to do with your body,
we know you'll be responsible.
No, you guys...
Lucas and I are just friends. That wouldn't be-- We would never--
Honey, friendship can be a powerful aphrodisiac.
Never heard that.
Your mother and I started out as just friends. It's true.
Yeah. REMI: Dad!
[LAUGHS] [LAUGHS]
I think we're good. Again, done. Okay... fine.
Look, just know
that if you change your mind, we're always here.
With lots of experience.
Yeah, with each other, of course. [CHUCKLES] Dad!
Okay. Okay.
Fine. Good talk.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Just in case. Okay, just... REMI: Mom!
Hey, you think I could... you think I could borrow the car tonight?
Where are you going? I'm going to the prom with Erica.
Remember Erica Morris? How could I forget?
She's not that bad.
I've met her at least four times,
and she could never remember my name.
Not once. She called me "Sam." Well, you do look like a Sam.
I don't know. No, she is pretty full of herself, you're right.
Please tell me you're not dating her again.
God, no. Honestly, I don't even like her that much.
Then why are you going to her prom?
I don't know. It's like a...
it's like a favor, you know?
Her boyfriend just broke up with her,
and she's too embarrassed to go by herself, so I just thought... Eh!
Well, that's awfully chivalrous of you. Yeah. I'm a chivalrous guy.
[CHUCKLES] [SNORTS]
Yeah, that was irony. I was being ironic.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS] [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Can I just say, sir, your shirt is amazing. I love it.

Your parents are great.

Yeah, they're ridiculous.
Sweet.
Oh, yeah, no, sorry. Ew.
I had a hunch you were into me.
That's why I booked us one of the bedroom slots at the lake house.
Bedroom slots? At the after-party.
Got us midnight to 12:30.
Wait! Okay, please tell me you're joking.
Lucas, we agreed to go as friends.
So, did half the other couples going tonight,
and they're all gonna have sex.
I'm not having sex with you. What?

I heard he's some kinda meathead or something.
Connor Frisk. Hmm?

I'm not your buddy.

Yeah, I think he fixed my neck.
Oh, my God, Barnes, I'm so sorry.
I can't believe Connor did that.
It's all good. Did he ask about me?
What? Or say anything about my dress?
Just tell me what he said!
He... he actually told me to stay away from you.
Oh! Really? Anything else?
Is he, like, wondering how I'm doing
or where I'll be at later tonight?
I don't... I don't think so.
Oh. Well, if he comes back, maybe let it slip in
that I'll be at Kaley's place down in Long Branch, okay?
Thanks, Barnes. You're the best.
Yeah, nice to see you too, Erica.
Sweet girl.
You know, I'm beginning to think that I was in the middle
of some sort of plot to make her boyfriend jealous.
How do you even know her?
Um. We used to... Doesn't matter.
Hmm.

You hear that?
"Burning Down the House."
You listened to my playlist? Yeah.
Well, you told me to.
Yeah, I didn't think-- Yeah, I listened in order.
And then I became obsessed,
and then I had to go through their entire discography,
and I fell into this wormhole for weeks,
and then I found out they had that concert film,
you know, where it starts off with him and the boombox,
and then, like, every track, they add a new musician,
and then there's 20 of them by the end? That's Stop Making Sense.
Yeah, Stop Making Sense. That's the greatest movie of all time.
I've never seen anything like that before.
I really wish that I had been at that Beacon show that you went to,
because that set list was insane.
It was the greatest show I've ever seen. I'm so jealous.

Yeah, but I... I don't know. I got into it, and then when we moved,
I snuck a few plants across customs and stuff.
This guy here is the Rocky Mountain Coneflower.
It's from Colorado.
It's, like, a super hard seed to find. PJ's cousin got it for me.
This is cool.
Plants are highly sensitive to music, actually.
REMI: Oh, yeah, I... I knew that.
There's this documentary out there where they talk about
how plants take on the energy of their surroundings.
So, what they ended up doing is they filmed the plants in a time-lapse
and then played a bunch of different sounds,
stuff like Beethoven, screaming babies,
train horns, glass shattering, whatever, just like a wide variety of noise,
and you could see the plants reacting on film.
It was... it was actually pretty beautiful.
You watch a lot of documentaries, huh? Yes.

You can really see into my bedroom from here.
Oh, I know.
What is this? It's my visa application.
So, we can tell your parents now?
How many times have we talked about this?
Okay, when we tell my parents that I'm going to put off school
so that I can go save sea turtles with you...
it's gonna get ugly.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
Maybe they'll be happy for us. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe.
You know, maybe they'll chop you up into a bunch of tiny little pieces
and use you as fertilizer for the lawn.
Is that what happened to the last guy? Yeah, the last couple.
That's why the grass is so green.
Sunglasses. I think you're underestimating them.
We're actually becoming very good friends, do you know that?
No. I've been texting your dad.
We were sending each other Supertramp videos on YouTube last night.
That's so weird. I can't find my sunglasses.
Can I tell you something? Yeah.
They're on your head.
Thank you.
Your parents love me, I'm telling you.
It's crazy. They're like obsessed with me.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, sure, they love you now, but they think you're temporary.
Why would they think that I'm temporary?
Because they see you as sweet,
slightly rebellious bad boy, on the summer fling
with their perfect, Ivy League-bound daughter.
So, I'm just a fling? No.
Am I a fling? No.
No, I'm saying this is how they see you, that everything is good right now.
Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe we'll tell them.
I have faith in them.
This is a prank, right? No.
This is real. It's happening. Sea turtles?
[CHUCKLES] [SCOFFS]
We're talking about the round green things that are swimming around in the ocean.
Those sea turtles? Correct.
I was talking to my daughter.
Dad. Baby, come on.
Aren't there other people that can look after the turtles?
Yeah, maybe we can send someone else, you know, as a replacement.
Then that completely defeats the purpose. You guys are missing my point.
[SCOFFS]
Honey, you got into Harvard.
You can't just throw that away for turtles.
She's not throwing anything away.
This has nothing to do with you. Nothing to do with you.

Hmm.
Just re-enroll? What do you think this is, man?
It's Harvard. Hey!
Relax, all right? It's just for one year. Baby, that's how it starts.
Did Barnes force you into this? No.
Barnes doesn't force me to do anything. But he came up with it, right?
No, I had heard of this project years ago,
and I've been thinking about it ever since.
Ah. Is that what he told you to say, huh?
No! Stop trying to pin this on him.
Stop. All right, this is my decision.

You know, my parents are a lot, but they just want me to be happy.
You really spiraled?

Then why didn't you tell him how you feel?

You know, I... I didn't talk to him in months,
and maybe I was just thrown by seeing him again.
And he's right.
You know, we've been doing great apart, him especially. He's...
Maybe he's just better off without me?
Correlation does not imply causation.
She's right about that.Yeah.
What? Just because he thrived without you
doesn't mean he wouldn't thrive with you.
Stop. This isn't some mock trial. This is my life.

there's not a day that goes by where I don't regret that decision.
But you're... you're happy.
Yeah, but I was happier when I was with you.
You know?
And I'm sorry. I know that this is a really bad time,
because you're about to go travel the world with this band,
and that's great. That's amazing.
I really want that for you, but I feel like,
Barnes, I know... I know that this could work.
You know, I-- Whether I...
take a couple weeks off or do a gap semester or year.
I don't know. I don't know. That doesn't matter.
We'll figure that out later. What...
I want this to work.
You know, I really love you, Barnes.
And I really, really want to be with you.

BASSIST: One of the best shows we've played in such a long time.
EVANGELINE: I know.
And I haven't been to, like, that city in so long.
BASSIST: Love college towns.
Hey.
BARNES: Hey-o. How'd it go?
That was her, right? At the show?
Yeah. You guys saw that?
She crashed backstage. BARNES: So sorry.
Nice move, flashing your pass.
That works every time. It's not really like that.
BASSIST: What? I thought she was the one.
Well, I didn't say that. You said it with your eyes.
So, tell us, like, what happened. Where are you guys at?
Are you back together? No, not...
No. We're not... we're not back together.
Damn. So, she wasn't into it? No, she... she... she is.
She was. So, what's the problem?
Um.
[SIGHS] Well, I don't know. I--
She dumped me... over the summer,
and I was really upset that she just ditched all our plans,
but then I visited her at Harvard today, and I just saw her, you know,
so happy and with this whole life established,
and I just felt like
I... I didn't want to take that away from her, you know?
And I really want to be with her, but I just, like...
[SIGHS] I just feel like it's too late now.
Well-- Well, did you tell her all that?
No.
I... I told her we would be better off as friends.
Dude, really?
I mean, yeah, she...
she busted backstage, and she was crying,
and... and she told me she made this huge mistake,
and that she wants to get back together, and make it work, even, you know,
no matter how hard it's going to be now,
because we love each other...
and that's all that matters.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYS]
It was actually really sweet.
Am I an idiot?
Yes. Yeah.
Yes.
Oh, my God, yeah. Shit.
GUITARIST: Three, two, one...
