[Bell rings]
Rafa, great work this year.
Oh, thanks, miss pedraza.
I, I really appreciate your help with everything.
[Mary] But listen, this is a big summer for you.
You should be thinking about the experiences you can have
that'll make your application really sing.
Internships, traveling, volunteering. Any plans like that?
Well, I was mostly gonna swim in Harris's above ground pool
and play video games.
I see.
I mean, come on. I'm 16. It's summertime.
Am I really supposed to, like, do something amazing?
Julia, what are you doing this summer?
Oh. I started a nonprofit to tutor underserved youth
in stem, esl, and needlepoint.
You should download our app. I designed it myself.
Well, she's 17, so.
- Hey, Mya. - Hey, rafa.
I thought track was over.
It is, but some of the team is meeting for a final run.
It's like the end-of-the-year thing.
Y'all just run for fun?
That's what track is. We run for fun.
What are you doing this summer?
We might be going on a trip. My mom wants me to do math camp again
and my dad wants me to re-read the complete works of James Baldwin.
You?
Very similar.
- Similar plans. - [Mya] Uh-hmm.
Although my college prep teacher wants me to have this big experience
- that'll juice up my application. - [Mya] Uh-hmm.
- I have no idea what that could be. - [Girl] Hey, Mya. Come on.
Oh, well, don't force it. It'll come to you.
I'll see you later, all right?
Hey.
What are you stressed for? You have the whole summer to tell her.
No, I don't have the whole summer. That's the point.
She said she might go on some trip, or to some math camp,
or read books by some guy.
Feel like I should know, but don't.
She's spending her summer on books and math?
Why do you love her, man?
What if she goes off and gets a boyfriend?
At math camp?
I just have to tell her.
Here's what you gotta do.
You know how when the military, they're like the first word
and the last word out of your mouth needs to be sir?
Do it like that, but with "girl."
Girl, you look so fine, girl. Like that.
- Has it ever worked for you? - Boy, no, it has not, boy.
Just get her a present like a vape pen or a waterbed.
Then she'll know.
You want me to buy her a waterbed?
Girl, I bought you a waterbed, girl.
See? That sounds dope.
Excuse me, sir. Do you know who James Baldwin is?
- What?! - [Door shuts]
Ah, ...!
[Theme music playing]
- What? - Early dismissal today.
I knew that, dammit.
[Clears throat] Is there any way out of this?
- I don't think so. - Okay.
Right.
Hey, rafa. What's up? You know Sammy, the bus driver?
What?
We've been dating for about six months.
What?
Okay. I know you're trying to process this whole situation right now,
so let me just walk you through it step by step, okay?
Okay. So, remember the code I got you.
When I was making the deal With Sammy for his part of it,
you know, cooking him the hot plates, We got to know each other a bit.
And that's sort of how it began. We started talking after that, and then...
my sister and I have lived in seven different cities
and there's always some lame ass trying to get...
I'm really glad you came. I like this shirt.
- You like this? - Yeah.
Idiot brothers who broke my shelf.
You know that bookshelf I had with, yeah. They broke my shelf.
- Your sandwich. - Aw, thank you.
You're welcome.
- [Rafa] Almost done. - [Device beeps]
- [Ryan] Here we go. - What was that?
- [Ryan] I found every word. - [Rafa] That doesn't count.
- You just circled everything. - [Ryan] Yes.
[Indistinct chatter]
[Rollie] Hey, look, man, we made a bet. You lost.
If you had a heart attack, you'd die.
- So, you owe me 40 bucks. Fair's fair. - Thank you.
Nice to officially meet you, rafa.
Six months?
Good work. Great stuff, ma.
Congratulations!
Thanks, rafa.
- Have you told the uncles yet? - No.
Can I please be there when you do? We should record it.
Oh. They're gonna murder you, sir. It's gonna be amazing. [Chuckles]
[Andrea] Okay. Here we go.
I'm dating Sammy the bus driver.
You all have one minute and forty-five seconds
to ask me whatever questions you want, and then I'm not talking about it anymore.
- [Jay] Hold on a second. - [Andrea] Nope. Go.
- How long has this been going on? - Officially, about six months.
- How'd you keep this hidden from us? - Easy. You're all oblivious.
- Is he nice to you? - Yes. He's a lovely guy.
- How did you meet? - On the bus.
How fast can a bus go?
That's your question?
Yeah. Like, how fast can a bus go? I've always wanted to know.
- I, I don't know. - Why has he not proposed to you yet?
Because he's not a psychopath.
Does Sammy take the bus to work? And if so, who drives it?
You know there are other buses and other bus drivers.
Could Speed Happen in real life?
Like a bus that has to go 50 miles per hour
- or else it's gonna explode? - I don't know.
Is the bus the king of the vehicles
the same way that the lion is the king of animals?
Stop asking bus questions.
And if you two get married, can we drive the bus?
[Rollie] And where do buses sleep at night?
And this isn't a Thomas the tank engine scenario
where the buses are alive and have faces.
- How many other things can Sammy drive? - [Mike] I have a Speed Follow-up.
How many times has Sammy met Keanu Reeves?
I don't know. I don't know. None.
And how come they haven't invented buses that could fly?
Like, you could fly in the air across great distances.
- That's a plane. - But like a bus version.
- Still a plane. - When Sammy's done
with the bus, can I have it?
Why are they called busboys? There's no buses involved.
There's only double-Decker buses or burgers.
- How come? - You could call it sky bus.
- [Bell dings] - Oh, time's up.
- Okay. - [Indistinct chatter]
So, from now on,
me and Sammy dating, just a regular part of life.
Any final questions?
Any final questions that are not bus-related?
- Mike. - Hmm.
Before you ask, I need you to think very carefully
about whether or not this is in fact a bus question.
Uh-hmm.
- What were you gonna ask? - I wanted to know if bus drivers
wear bulletproof vests.
- [Ryan] Why would they? - Why would he do that?
Have you seen Speed?
- [Rafa] Ma. - [Andrea] Uh-hmm.
I have a real question for you. How, how did he ask you out?
Like, like, how exactly? What, what words did he use?
Hmm. Well, actually, I asked him out.
I always liked him
and I had hoped that maybe he felt the same way about me.
So, one day,
I just summoned all my courage and I walked up to him
and said I'd like to get to know him better.
And then, I asked him if he'd like to have dinner
and he said yes.
We went out, had a really nice conversation,
and that was it.
I mean, I was nervous...
- [Rafa] Yeah. - [Andrea] Obviously,
but I think I realized that I would have felt a lot worse
if I never asked the question at all, you know, like if I never knew.
So, I did it.
Okay.
Okay. Good. Thank you.
Can I ask you for a favor?
Anything, baby.
[Rafa] Do we have any banners that aren't painted on both sides?
I think I'd like to have a little party.
I thought you weren't throwing primo any more parties.
- He asked me to. - [Jay] Huh.
- Who's coming? - [Andrea] Everyone.
His friends, Miguel, Harris, Mya.
I smell Cologne.
That's "gasolina" by daddy yankee. I'd know it anywhere.
Yeah, the lighting in here is romantic. Are you setting a mood?
No. We just ran out of light bulbs, remember,
because you guys had a light bulb fight last week?
Primo's finally going to say something to Mya.
He's going to sing her the song of his heart.
- I hate how you talk. - We have to help him.
- [Indistinct chatter] - [Andrea] Listen to me.
God, I'm so tired of saying this.
This is something he has to do by himself. Stay out of it.
- [Indistinct chatter] - Yeah. For sure.
Yes, ma'am.
No one likes meddling, you know.
Hey. I noticed you're writing a letter.
- I got a big tip for you. - It's okay, uncle Ryan. I got it.
You should write it with a sharpie. It conveys strength.
I think it would more convey that I'm a maniac.
Instead of a letter, get a tattoo of her face.
I do it all the time.
My back looks like a page from my yearbook.
I think I'm gonna stick with the letter. Thank you though.
If you're using animal metaphor, choose a strong animal.
Like a moose or a buffalo.
There are no buffalos in this letter.
When I first told your aunt Denise that I wanted to go out with her,
she said to me...
she's...
i gotta call her. I love her so much.
Excuse me.
Guys. Thank you, but I got this.
I'm good.
- Primo's being a dick today. - Right?
[Upbeat music playing]
[Indistinct chatter]
This is insane.
What do we know about this guy, huh?
Is he good enough for her?
Aren't we supposed to be the ones who decide that?
We need to trust that drea knows what she's doing.
"We need to trust that drea knows what she's doing."
Shut up, Jay. Ryan's right. We don't have any information here.
We can just talk to him.
You think he's just gonna tell you his secrets?
Have you seen even one single true crime documentary?
"Hey, Sammy. How you doing?"
"Oh, I'm great. I love being normal and happy."
Cut to a scene of a detective
explaining how they found drea's eyeballs in his pocket.
- That's a strong point. - He's in our bus now.
We are in control. This is a military operation.
Rollie, work your jailhouse sources. You find out if he's ever been in trouble.
Ryan, I want a full-spectrum cyber stalk of this man's Internet footprint.
Asymmetrical warfare. Does he have a LinkedIn profile?
Do bus drivers have yelp reviews?
- Find it all. - You got it.
And would you say I'm the lynchpin of this operation?
I've always wanted to be a lynchpin or a cornerstone...
Stop talking or you're out.
You got it.
I can consult his astrological birth chart.
All I need is the exact time, date, and location of his birth
as well as his consent.
I don't like doing people's charts without their permission.
No, thank you. Jay, check in with your crews.
One of them has to have worked with him at some point.
We turn over every rock, we look behind every door,
we turn this man's life inside out.
- I got his car keys. - [Mike] Okay. Yeah. Good.
New plan, we just go through his car.
[Harris] Killing it. That's great.
- Yeah. - That's wild.
[Indistinct chatter]
- [Mya] Hey. - Hey.
I got you something.
- Really? - [Mya] Yeah.
So, I'm usually a little nervous about playing music for people
because, well, you know the stuff I like is a little just...
Horrible, weird, gives me awful nightmares?
But you were super cool about listening to this band with me
and I thought that was just really amazing,
because they're my favorite, so...
Haunted womb?
- No way! - [Mya] Yeah.
It's from their last world tour,
right before the bassist was eaten by that orca whale.
I love it.
- [Mya chuckles] - Thank you.
You're welcome.
I actually have something for you too.
You, you wanna take a walk?
Sure.
Everything in here is sticky.
Yo, look. There's a picture of Gloria with her kid.
That son of a bitch is two-timing drea with Gloria.
- Is this tea or pee? - Women's nail Polish.
Gloria must've left in his car when they were sneaking around together.
- [Rollie] Pee. - Oh, my god.
His car is registered to Gloria.
He's using Gloria's car.
- This is just Gloria's car, isn't it? - [Rollie] Yeah.
[Jay] Goddammit, Rollie.
I thought they were his keys.
They were on the table next to his sunglasses,
the ones that say coffee slut in rhinestones.
- His car is over there. - [Jay] All right. Let's go.
Come on.
[Indistinct]
[Upbeat music playing]
- Hey. - Hey.
I think your brothers are ransacking my car.
Don't worry about it. It's just who they are, how they are.
It's just something you gotta deal with. I hope that's okay.
Sure. It actually makes me feel kind of important.
Yeah. Now that they've started,
we just gotta let this thing run its course,
and then everything will be fine.
I mean, I got nothing to hide. And from what I know about them,
as long as they got something to keep them busy,
it might be easier for us to enjoy ourselves.
They're like minions.
Did he just take the battery out from the bottom?
He's really good with cars.
Okay. So...
i wrote you something.
- [Chuckles] Ah... - Okay.
Just, just some stuff that I've been thinking about
and wanting to say to you for a while actually.
And, um...
here.
You can read it now or later
or, you know, you can throw it away or...
Well, actually, it's, you know, it's kind of important,
so don't, don't do that. Um...
You know, reading it now is probably my preferred option,
but, but it's your choice, of course.
Rafa, before I open this,
I think there's something you need to know.
My dad got re-assigned to a base in Missouri.
We're moving in two months.
What?
You're moving?
We just found out.
I'm pretty sure I know what this is and I'm pretty sure I shouldn't open it.
I just don't wanna make things harder
than they're gonna have to be when I have to leave.
If I leave and we're just friends, I know what that's like.
I've done that before.
But if I leave and we're more than friends...
Rockwell had a girlfriend when we lived in Ohio.
When we had to leave for Germany, he was devastated.
He said they would stay together,
but it's only a few emails and facetimes,
which only made it worse when it ended for real.
[Rafa] I understand. I get that.
I'm gonna head home.
Okay.
(Sniffling)
[Upbeat music playing]
We've conducted a thorough operation.
We're ready to declare Sammy a worthy boyfriend.
Thank you.
Literally couldn't matter less coming from you bozos, but thank you.
You're welcome.
We do have some questions about Gloria, the coffee slut.
We found some weird stuff in her car. A bunch of unpaid tickets,
a case of wine coolers buckled into a child safety seat,
a handwritten kidnapping note.
So, my first question is, you'd think she'd go out with me?
- You wanna go out with Gloria? - She seems amazing.
And plus, single moms always have snacks and band-aids.
- [Sammy] Cake's done. - Oh.
Thank you. Hmm, there.
Hey, Sammy, can we ask a couple questions about the bus?
- Sure. - Great.
Thirty, forty-five minutes Max.
[Andrea] Hey.
- How bad is his car? - Not bad.
Pretty bad. Sorry about that.
Mike is a surprisingly compelling public speaker.
- I don't know what happened. - You guys happened.
But it's okay. It's sweet.
Hey, Rockwell.
- Yeah, what's up? - Can I ask you something?
Totally. Yeah. What's going on?
- You remember Nicole? - Yeah.
When we left then you and her had to break up,
it sucked, right?
It did a lot. I hated it. Thanks for bringing it up.
But, you know, it was... it was good. It was good, too.
- What do you mean? - I think it's part of it,
like relationships, those four months that we spent together,
it was really nice to be connected to someone outside of the house,
even if it was just for a little while.
Which one is it?
Rafa.
He's cool. He's a nice kid.
[Dramatic music playing]
[Mya] Oh, it's a photo booth.
- Come on, come on. - All right, all right.
[Camera clicks]
Oh, they're coming now. Let's see. What was that?
I don't even know.
Goofball.
[Indistinct chatter]
[Rafa] Dear Mya.
Hi. It's me, rafa.
If you're reading this, That means I gave it to you
and that's sort of the point Of this letter.
For my entire life, I've been nervous about everything.
About school, about the future,
about what I'm going to eat for lunch, Everything.
And a lot of times, I've let that nervousness stop me
from doing something I wanted to do.
But I realized something recently,
feeling nervous about something Only lasts for a few seconds.
But the regret of not doing something Because you're nervous lasts way longer.
So, let me state this As plainly as possible.
Mya, I like you. I like talking to you about things.
I like when you play jokes on me. I even like digging holes with you.
You make everything you touch better, Including me.
And so, despite everything inside of me Saying I should do otherwise,
i have a question to ask you.
Mya?
Rafa.
Why are you running?
I don't know. I saw you running and I thought we were running.
Wow. You're in great shape.
Okay. I'm good.
I don't know if you read my letter or not,
but... I need to tell you something.
Or... I need to ask you something. I...
[Dramatic music playing]
[Rafa] Mya Perkins,
do you wanna be my girlfriend? I hope you say yes.
Love, rafa.
What?
[Dramatic music playing]
