  • [♪♪♪]

  • Hey

  • [CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

  • Don't write Yourself off yet

  • It's only in your head you

  • JOANNA: Hi.

  • Sorry I'm late.

  • Oh, hey.

  • It's okay. Gave me time

  • to beat my Snake score.

  • Anyways, I'm already used

  • to being flaked on.

  • Mm. Peter. Tiffany's whole group

  • got caught bringing alcohol into the dance.

  • They got kicked out, so you should be happy

  • she bailed on you.

  • Really?

  • Yeah.

  • That's okay, I didn't wanna go

  • with her anyways.

  • Well why didn't you ask

  • someone else?

  • There's no one else to ask.

  • Nobody? In the whole school?

  • I mean, there was another girl,

  • but I wasn't sure how she felt.

  • Alright It just takes some time

  • [SIGHS] Whatever.

  • Someone else asked her anyway.

  • Well then don't wait so long next time.

  • You know?

  • You should have had a backup.

  • I don't wanna make someone a backup.

  • I would have been your backup.

  • [SCOFFS]

  • [LAUGHS]

  • Hey, do you wanna go to the after party at Wes'?

  • I heard he just got a GameCube.

  • Nah, I don't think so. Applications are due soon.

  • Peter, this is senior year. You need to start enjoying it more.

  • Stop worrying.

  • How can I not worry?

  • You know, college is so important.

  • You know, it affects everything.

  • Whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen, you know.

  • You might as well just go with the flow.

  • Oh, okay, sure.

  • I'll be 30, jobless, single,

  • living on my parent's couch and muttering to myself

  • "I'm just, going with the flow."

  • [LAUGHS]

  • Okay, so maybe you need a backup plan.

  • Did you learn nothing from the dance, you know?

  • Unless you wanna be single when you're 30.

  • Oh, hell no.

  • Thirty is so old. Do you think you'll be married by then?

  • I don't know. That's like forever from now, you know?

  • And anyway, what's the point?

  • My parents, they got divorced in their 30s, so.

  • Yeah, but doesn't it freak you out that you might be alone?

  • Mm, just go with the flow, you know?

  • Or have a backup plan.

  • Hey, you're learning, ha-ha-ha.

  • Oh, do you wanna be my backup then?

  • Yeah, okay.

  • Ha, ha... Wait. What?

  • Yeah, why not, you know?

  • But only if you were my backup too.

  • By then, we'll probably be totally happy with other people,

  • but, if we're not, you've made some good points.

  • I did?

  • Yeah. Like, if you had known

  • that I would have been your backup to the dance, wouldn't it

  • have been less scary to ask that girl you wanted to go with?

  • Yeah.

  • Okay, okay. If we're still single by 30 then...

  • let's get married.

  • Cool.

  • Oh. Shake on it?

  • [SLURPING]

  • [PHONE RINGS]

  • Hey.

  • Okay yeah, I'll be right out.

  • Hey, Wes is here. Are you sure you don't wanna go?

  • Yeah.

  • Well, I'll see you Monday, then.

  • Later, future husband.

  • Peace out, wifey.

  • Joanna!

  • Have a good time.

  • I will. Bye.

  • Everything, everything Will be just fine

  • Everything, everything Will be just fine

  • [PHONE CHIMES]

  • Everything, everything Will be alright

  • [PHONE CHIMES]

  • [SIGHS]

  • [♪♪♪]

  • PETER: Morning, Grace.

  • GRACE: Isn't it your birthday or something?

  • I normally rely on Facebook, but I deactivated it after

  • Mom invited me to her Bible study group.

  • In fact, it is. What did you get me?

  • An employee with a solid work ethic? 'Cause, I need one.

  • Chill. I processed the Goldman order like hours ago.

  • Well, what are you working on now, then?

  • Oh, just a new track.

  • [TECHNO MUSIC PLAYS]

  • Is this what you're using your Biochem degree for?

  • No. I'm gonna use that in a year when I go to med school.

  • Now is the time to brag about applying to medical school.

  • Do you realize how lucky you are?

  • I didn't get a gap year. The summer after I graduated,

  • Mom and Dad made me work here,

  • and I had to have an internship.

  • Stop talking and get back to work.

  • Happy birthday!

  • Thanks, Ma.

  • Happy birthday, Peter. I've posted on your wall.

  • Oh...nice. Thanks, Dad.

  • So, what are you gonna do for the big three-oh?

  • Mm, Mark and I gonna go check out this new taco truck on 10th.

  • Tacos? Slow down, isn't that like a 40th birthday,

  • this is as good as it gets type of thing?

  • Robin wish you a happy birthday?

  • No.

  • Why not?

  • Maybe it's the whole we're not together anymore thing?

  • You should call her.

  • And say what? Hey, uh, this is your ex-boyfriend calling.

  • Wish me a happy birthday.

  • [SCOFFS] Then call someone else.

  • A man of your age should be settling down by now.

  • Mm-hmm.

  • It's time to hurry up

  • and give us grandbabies.

  • Yeah, Peter, you're kind of bringing

  • great shame on this family.

  • [♪♪♪]

  • [BIRDS WHISTLING]

  • Nope.

  • [INDISTINCT TALKING]

  • Lisa?

  • JoJo!

  • Hi!

  • Oh, it's so good to see you.

  • Oh, you too.

  • Wow.

  • I can't believe you're here, like standing here,

  • it's so weird. Or is this one of those,

  • I have a layover before my Singapore flight visits?

  • [LAUGHS] No, I'm a, I'm back back for now.

  • Okay, well I want all the deets.

  • Okay.

  • [♪♪♪]

  • Okay, so I read about this place on a blog

  • and they're supposed to have the best tacos.

  • What is that, fish and grapes? Is this how we're

  • going out for your birthday?

  • Yeah, man, it's chill.

  • I like chill.

  • And speaking of chill,

  • what do you think of this app?

  • It's called Dryncht. [INHALES SHARPLY]

  • Apparently it tells you if you're wearing too much cologne.

  • No, that sounds terrible. How does that even work?

  • I don't know, I'm just the money guy.

  • Did Robin wish you happy birthday?

  • No.

  • Why does everyone keep asking me that?

  • It's almost impossible not to wish someone a happy birthday.

  • You know, I mean Facebook puts it on your phone.

  • I mean it's gotta be a big deal, the year an ex-girlfriend

  • doesn't hit you up anymore to wish you a happy birthday.

  • I mean, that means she's totally over you.

  • Look, I wasn't expecting to hear from her.

  • Although it would have been nice.

  • Yeah well, Robin's not nice.

  • Hey.

  • I can say that, but you can't.

  • Yeah, I mean,

  • can you imagine if you were still with her?

  • I mean, she would throw the most amazing birthday party

  • for Robin. And you would have been okay with it.

  • Because...you never say what you want.

  • That's not true, man.

  • Hey, he just cut you. Are you gonna let him cut you?

  • No.

  • Hey buddy,

  • you cut my friend. It's his birthday, move your ass.

  • Put my foot in it.

  • Hey, how you doing?

  • What's up?

  • Fish and grapes, please. Birthday boy.

  • Two. Two.

  • LISA: So everything I know about you is from the internet,

  • I'm totally obsessed. You partied on a yacht?

  • Mm, yeah, that was from a few years ago in Thailand.

  • Then you had that short hair, don't care phase in May.

  • And then...nothing.

  • Yeah, I'm off social media now.

  • Is it because of a guy?

  • Yeah, sort of.

  • Was it the hot guy at the rooftop party

  • with the Chinese lanterns and the pug

  • that everybody was posing with?

  • Yeah, sorry, I went down a rabbit hole.

  • Wow, Swimfan. Uh, yeah, that was Carl.

  • Carl wanted more, and I wasn't ready, so I left.

  • And long story short, he started seeing a close friend of mine.

  • Shut up.

  • They're getting married.

  • What?

  • Just got the save the date.

  • Steal your man and then invite you to the wedding.

  • That is so dramatic.

  • Uh, no, it wasn't like that.

  • Allison was like my little sister in college

  • and she was very upfront about the whole thing.

  • Still I would feel really weird if I were you.

  • Obviously it's not what I had planned on happening,

  • but neither was being almost 30 and moving back to my hometown,

  • single, so uh, yeah, it's nothing I can't handle.

  • Might as well throw in my ex marrying my college best friend.

  • Wow. You've never made me feel so happy about being married.

  • My sister and I have to

  • binge watch The Bachelor and you're like

  • living the real thing.

  • I don't take that as a compliment.

  • How is Chloe, by the way?

  • Oh, she's 26 and a pain in my ass

  • and she's been living with me.

  • Hey, are you looking for a roommate?

  • MARK: So where we going tonight, birthday boy?

  • Nowhere.

  • Are you kidding me? Come on, like...

  • "It's my birthday" is the best pick-up line

  • and tonight, it's actually true.

  • Look, I really don't want to make a big deal out of it.

  • Let me see your phone.

  • I'm gonna download this app.

  • [TAPPING]

  • Ah, they put salsa verde in this.

  • Dude, what's wrong with being in your 30s?

  • Your 30s are awesome. If anything, your 20s sucked.

  • You have no money, no direction,

  • you have no idea what you're doing.

  • It's like, adult puberty.

  • Yeah. I just feel like

  • I haven't accomplished anything I thought I was supposed to.

  • You know by the time my dad was 30, he was married,

  • had two kids and escaped a Communist regime.

  • Mm-hmm.

  • My biggest decision today will be if I

  • send back this burrito with salsa verde.

  • I may be 30, but I feel like a teenager.

  • Boom. Updated your status, you're hosting a birthday

  • party tonight, Sawhorse.

  • Dude, not cool. What...

  • I don't care. It's your birthday.

  • Turn up!

  • WOMAN: Ah, yes!

  • My skin looks so good in this lighting.

  • Wow, oh my gosh, I mean, I love it.

  • I'm so down.

  • Um, maybe we're doing this

  • a little quickly, I still have furniture to buy--

  • I saw a garage sale on Facebook and there's Craigslist,

  • so I'm on it.

  • Well, you know maybe

  • we should get to know each other a little bit better first.

  • Totally, yeah, here's my synop.

  • I'm 25--

  • Twenty-six.

  • Shut up.

  • Okay.

  • Uh, SWF, ADD, ESFP on the MBTI. Um, what else? Oh!

  • I sleep-eat, but I also awake-eat,

  • and girls are threatened by me,

  • because I physically and verbally threaten them,

  • and I have very little patience,

  • and I hate kids, and early mornings.

  • Uh, what do you do?

  • I'm a teacher.

  • Of...children?

  • Unfortunately.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • Sorry, it says that your old bestie Peter Ma is having

  • a "2 Fast, 2 Thirteous Birthday Extravaganza."

  • Why do I get notified for this stuff? Makes no sense.

  • Wow. Peter Ma. We haven't spoken in years.

  • Oh, it's at Sawhorse. I hate that bar.

  • I love that bar.

  • Of course you do.

  • Who's Peter?

  • Okay, he cute.

  • Eh, maybe it'd be fun to go surprise him.

  • Will you come with me?

  • That's gonna be a hard pass.

  • Ryan and I are watching a nature documentary

  • and then having scheduled sex.

  • Scheduled sex?

  • Yep. That's what married people do.

  • That's so unromantic.

  • Relax, we have romance time.

  • Scheduled on Thursdays from seven to nine.

  • Have fun you guys, okay? Cause I know I will.

  • We're gonna heat it up, then cool it down.

  • I don't know what it is.

  • Goodbye.

  • Okay.

  • Bye Lis.

  • Roommate bonding.

  • [NERVOUS LAUGH]

  • Wonder how long until our cycles sync up.

  • [♪♪♪]

  • Happy birthday to you--

  • Look, I'll have one drink

  • and then I'm leaving.

  • No, no, no. Dude. You're gonna

  • stay, relax, it's okay.

  • No, no, no, seriously.

  • I wanna catch the last quarter of the Laker game

  • and besides, it was a last minute post,

  • I'm sure no one's gonna show up.

  • Wh-what are you talking about? Where's your buddy Jeff?

  • Hey Jeff.

  • I don't even know who Jeff is.

  • No, please don't, no, no. Please don't.

  • Joanna?

  • Peter!

  • Oh my god.

  • Wow, happy 30th.

  • Wow! C-come on, come here, come here.

  • W-what are you doing here?

  • I mean obviously I'm here for a

  • "2 Fast, 2 Thirteous Birthday Extravaganza."

  • I told you it was a great title, you're welcome.

  • Oh hey, uh, this is Mark, we went to college together,

  • and Joanna, known since I was a kid.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • Nice to meet you.

  • Hi, good to meet you too.

  • Joanna! Yo!

  • Okay, let me go check

  • on my friend, I'll be right back.

  • Okay.

  • Huh.

  • And you thought a bunch of randos were just gonna show up.

  • She's not a rando.

  • She was my best friend in high school and...

  • you know, we just lost touch over the years,

  • but, I guess it's pretty random.

  • Oh, best friend, huh?

  • Did you guys..? [SQUEAKING NOISES]

  • No, no, no. It was not like that between us.

  • Oh, so she friend zoned you?

  • No!

  • I mean, I did have a crush on her,

  • but I don't think she felt the same way.

  • See, that's why I'm not friends with any ladies.

  • [LAUGHS] Wow, it's insane that she's here.

  • Wait, what?

  • I doubt she remembers, but in high school,

  • we made a pact that if we weren't married

  • by the time we're 30, we'd marry each other.

  • Wow. That is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard.

  • Were you guys stoned and watching Dawson's Creek?

  • No, it was like sort of a joke, you know.

  • She was my backup.

  • How about you back your ass up into that bar

  • and go ask her out.

  • [CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

  • I'm gonna go for it.

  • Hell yeah, and I'm gonna be your wingman.

  • [BUZZES]

  • Oh my god, you're so pretty. Never stand next to me.

  • Hey!

  • Hi.

  • Sup, ladies.

  • Hey.

  • How you doing, I'm Mark.

  • Uh, this is Chloe, my roommate.

  • Um, you remember Lisa, right? This is her sister.

  • Yes, Lisa. She used to con me into giving her my

  • Calculus homework before class, right?

  • That's Lisa.

  • Ah, Calculus.

  • That's-- He's so smart.

  • Where is everyone else though?

  • Oh, I-I deleted the post

  • it was all Mark's idea.

  • No, but he came up with it, he's a genius.

  • You're silly, you're so silly.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • Um, I actually just wanted something chill.

  • Curl up with a milkshake from Sunny's?

  • Yes, yes.

  • Yeah, man, I miss Sunny's.

  • No, I-I-I haven't been there in like years.

  • I can't believe you remembered that.

  • Sunny's, you know.

  • Oh, uh, I'm sorry we didn't order this.

  • CHLOE: I did.

  • To Peter and his waning youth.

  • To the birthday boy.

  • Cheers.

  • PETER: So where you living now?

  • Um--

  • Oh, my god, is this Mark?

  • Oh my god.

  • He just popped up on happn.

  • Shirtless and holding a baby tiger.

  • Yeah, I was out in the safari after selling my hit app.

  • Creator of "What Do You Meme?", that's your app?

  • A meme generator?

  • Swipe left.

  • What? No, it's swipe left for being judgmental.

  • Swipe left for John Mayer quotes.

  • Swipe left for fathers that clearly

  • didn't take care of their daughters.

  • Swipe left for holding up two bottles of Dom by your face

  • in a club? No.

  • Swipe left for someone who's clearly jealous

  • that they haven't had bottle service in Vegas.

  • Swipe left on Axe body spray

  • and that tacky watch and tweezed eyebrows.

  • Swipe left on someone who doesn't appreciate hygiene,

  • bling, and eyebrows that stay fleet.

  • Okay, swipe left, delete app,

  • throw away phone, become mountain woman!

  • Let's go, Joanna.

  • Oh! Okay.

  • Okay, catch you later.

  • Wanna go out sometime?

  • What the hell happened?

  • That girl Chloe is ridiculous.

  • No, no, no.

  • We were making progress, where was my wingman?

  • Look, I-I can't wing when there's this annoying

  • sparrow picking at my feathers. All right, we'll just..

  • [SIGHS] We'll take a break.

  • Okay? W-w-we'll talk to someone else.

  • Let's talk to these girls.

  • I don't want to talk to girls.

  • I want to talk to Joanna.

  • Hey ladies! Would you like it

  • if my friend here bought you guys a drink?

  • Yes, Mark, that's exactly what I wanted to do.

  • Awesome.

  • Finally, oh my god.

  • Ha-ha, I would like a vodka cran,

  • but just like a splash of cran.

  • And Courtney's gonna get a white wine spritzer.

  • And Jacey...

  • [SNAPS] Jacey!

  • Jacey.

  • Give her a water, she's cut off for the night.

  • [♪♪♪]

  • Okay, that was intense.

  • Was it? No, no, I was flirting.

  • With Mark?

  • Absolutely not, no, with that guy over there.

  • We were making eye contact the whole time.

  • Wow.

  • Uh, he's so cute, he has friends

  • go talk to them.

  • Uh, no, I-I wanna go

  • you know, catch up with Peter.

  • Really? Okay.

  • Yeah.

  • The spritzer, yes that's--

  • You're amazing.

  • [NERVOUS LAUGHTER]

  • You know, actually, let's-let's grab drinks.

  • Yeah, let's grab some drinks.

  • No, no, no, I don't live with my parents

  • I work with my parents.

  • Oh yeah, I love my parents too.

  • Hey, just so you know, Asha, the baby tiger and I,

  • still keep in touch. Okay, I send a dollar

  • every month to keep that little bad boy fed.

  • It's not just some ploy.

  • Okay.

  • I was more opposed to your waxed chest.

  • That was just a phase.

  • That I'm still going through.

  • I don't hate it.

  • I-I-I could say anything and it wouldn't matter.

  • I don't want to be here right now.

  • There's a girl from high school that I want to ask out.

  • You're right, Jacey is a bitch. Ha-ha-ha.

  • You're so funny.

  • Hey.

  • Oh, hi.

  • Sorry I lost you.

  • Whoa, I didn't know this bar was here.

  • Yeah, uh, kind of needed a break from upstairs.

  • Lot of sketchy guys up there.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • Well no, it like, really sucks

  • to be a girl at a bar.

  • Okay wait, no, no, no. I-I just bought three girls drinks

  • and probably paid off one of their student loans.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • It sucks for guys at bars.

  • Can you imagine, like, asking someone out at a bar, though?

  • Worst place ever.

  • Totally agree.

  • So...

  • Did you have a good birthday tonight?

  • Yeah.

  • Although I would have preferred something more low-key.

  • But it was great seeing you,

  • I just wish we got to catch up more.

  • I know, me too.

  • Well, hey, um, is Sunny's still open?

  • Wanna go?

  • Yes, please. Let's leave

  • this place. Um, should we go find Mark and Chloe, though?

  • Yes, yes, uh...

  • [TAPPING]

  • Oh, Mark said that they went to another bar,

  • but didn't say which one.

  • They?

  • Yeah.

  • What? Okay.

  • Actually, Chloe downloaded Find My Friends on my phone

  • before she left.

  • People use that?

  • Chloe does.

  • Oh, they're actually not too far,

  • do you wanna just meet them there?

  • Please. Let's get out of here.

  • Oh I don't know if I can do another bar.

  • Yeah I know that sounds rough.

  • All right, let's go, go, go!

  • [CRICKETS CHIRPING]

  • So, Joanna Taylor not on social media.

  • That's a bold move. I mean it gets people thinking.

  • Who is she avoiding?

  • I swear it's really not that interesting.

  • All right, I hear you.

  • And you were dating a guy?

  • Yeah, Carl, uh...

  • He's a little older than me, ready to get married, so...

  • Things got complicated.

  • Oh. I'm sorry.

  • It's totally fine, you know. Uh, what about you?

  • I saw you were dating some girl for a long time.

  • Robin.

  • But that long time ended a few months ago.

  • Sorry.

  • It's okay.

  • [SIGHS] But hey, you excited to be single again?

  • Cause I know I am terrified.

  • Especially after seeing all of that tonight.

  • Oh my god, it's so hard to get back out there after a breakup.

  • [SIGHS] Well I know what you mean.

  • You know, at 30, starting over again feels like so much work.

  • You know? I just wanna skip the dating

  • and get straight to the relationship part.

  • You think you're starting over, like, imagine moving back

  • to your hometown. I don't even really know anyone.

  • The few people I do know are married.

  • Well that's why everyone needs a backup.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • What?

  • Just...do you remember our pact?

  • If we're both still single by 30...

  • Yeah, so you know, I'm 30 in five months.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • I think we're actually pretty close.

  • Really?

  • Yeah.

  • I think it's over here.

  • Yeah, I don't think there's a bar around here.

  • It says she's right here.

  • Hm.

  • Wait, shh! Listen, listen.

  • [MUFFLED VOICES]

  • Wait is that?

  • Wait, no, is that, is that?

  • Yeah, yeah,

  • No. Ew. Ew!

  • Okay, let's go.

  • Ew! Oh my gosh.

  • Are they actually in the--

  • Yes, yes they are.

  • I think, actually, I know they were.

  • [SIGHS]

  • Hey.

  • I'm on if you're still on.

  • For what?

  • The pact.

  • How many drinks have you had?

  • [LAUGHS]

  • You know hear me out okay?

  • Dating is scary at this age because

  • when you're starting a new relationship,

  • you have to get to know someone all over again, all right?

  • Well I know you. You're Peter Ma, you're...

  • allergic to nuts and you love 90s hip-hop.

  • Okay, a lot has changed in 12 years.

  • I graduated to aughts hip-hop.

  • Look.

  • You didn't see yourself single at 30,

  • I didn't see myself single at 30.

  • Let's not look at this as we're gonna get

  • married in five months, okay? Let's look at this as

  • a motivator to get us out there, meeting people

  • with the comfort of knowing we can fall back on a friendship.

  • Yeah, I can kind of follow the logic there.

  • But, I just turned 30, so...

  • on your 30th, I propose?

  • How 'bout this? We help each other date.

  • Okay? That's what this will be about.

  • First and foremost, if we're both still single by the time

  • I turn 30, then...

  • Let's go for it. We'll be each other's backups.

  • Yeah, we'll go for it.

  • Unless you think it's too crazy.

  • No. I mean, yeah.

  • I-i-it is kind of crazy, yeah.

  • Which is why we should set some ground rules.

  • Hey, don't overthink it.

  • How can I not overthink it, I mean we're talking about

  • marriage here.

  • No, we're talking about

  • teaming up.

  • Fine, okay.

  • But just one rule.

  • Okay, what's that?

  • That we're always honest with each other.

  • Of course, why wouldn't we be?

  • [CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

  • Hey.

  • What are you guys-- What a coincidence.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • I smell like cheap cologne.

  • Six hundred dollars isn't cheap.

  • What? You paid $600 to smell like this?

  • [MOUTHING WORDS]

  • [SIGHS]

  • You guys wanna get pizza or something?

  • I'm starving suddenly.

  • Yeah.

  • You guys must be really hungry.

  • [♪♪♪]

  • [KNOCKING]

  • Hey.

  • Hi.

  • Nice place.

  • Uh yeah, if you can see it under the mess.

  • I'm sure it'll be fine.

  • Have you told Mark about the pact?

  • How about we delete our ex's numbers from our phones?
