This Is Us | Episode 3 | Make It Good

Are you, Mom? I’m not gonna be drinking tonight. I’m on antibiotics for a cold-flu thing, but I was thinking maybe we should set some rules like Coach was going on about. Hey, you should take antibiotics. I mean, people don’t think straight, and now leave his stuff. Yeah, brah, they’re all legal. I got them from the doctor. But, yeah, I was thinking about what Coach was saying, you know, about watching each other’s backs. What do you think? Some magic pills are gonna turn into Coach?
Ah, what? No, listen, I messed up. I’ve been drunk and I’ve regretted it, and it’s just not worth the stress and anxiety.
You mean about hitting that flower last month for no reason? What about getting locked up and not telling Coach? So what is it? Just because you can’t drink, we all can’t drink?
I know how this looks, but I’ve had time to process things. I didn’t know who to talk to or how to talk about it. Like, yes, you can drink if you want, but we could try what Coach suggested—have fun without the grog, or we could just have one or two. I mean, I can’t stand hangovers anyway.
Yeah, I mean…
No, I stop it. I’m getting into it and high gaming. I mean, my savings are money for a new flash car. Wanna bet? That’s ten since Friday, you know. There, you happy now?
Yeah, that’s 20 now, Kristie-Lu.
You mob, I want to apologize. I was mouthing off earlier, being a dick. I said some stuff, I’m a bit shy, mph.
Yeah, sure did, didn’t you? You’re right, ‘cause I know good. Anyway, all I’m saying is that we should look out for each other when we get there, right? What do you reckon? We don’t your party and go to my house, watch horror movies? Ain’t no…
We’re going to that party. You came, the bro is gonna be there, bro.
Huh? Charlie, he’s gonna be my wingman, and we’re doing it without the drinks.
They might be able to understand you without you slurring your words.
I wasn’t gonna say this, well, I was, and I wasn’t, and now I am. You know the other month when I went for stupid, the night you got locked up?
Yeah, well, look, I was just so off my chops.
We know. Yes, I was off my chops, but I also hooked up with this chick and I was so off my face I didn’t remember until it started burning down there when I went to the toilet and stuff.
Wait, like you peed? Why are you telling us this?
Because we can trust each other, and I don’t want you doing the same thing. You’ve got to have your wits about you in situations like that. We should all have a plan in place when shit hits the fan, like it did that night.
So let me get this straight, JB. You got charged up, went out, loved up some stranger with no protection, then punched on, then got locked up. God, JB, you’re starting to grow up. It sounds like you learned a few lessons.
Open up to us like this, learning the hard way.
Yeah, well, like I said, I don’t want to see you mob down here the same thing. The doctor reckons I was lucky, actually. Felt sick on you to go in, but some mob don’t know that they’ve got an infection and they’re spreading damage. Maybe you mob should get checked out, it can’t hurt.
Yeah, it’s pretty easy. What, dang, got you to do the test too? I get checked each year. No shame in knowing I’m healthy. The fact is, sometimes we fear to use it.
I’m glad you’re doing this, JB, but what about Mira?
No, I met her after all that, so I was worried something was wrong. Sorry, we kind of haven’t been going all the way, type thing, but I think Mira thinks you don’t like her.
Yeah, I think that’s why she’s been flying off.
Just get along real well.
You’re gonna keep it to myself, but it seems like you don’t need some loving tea.
So, did anyone check on Mira?
Yeah, called her earlier, she’s alright. She’s gonna catch up tomorrow.
So, what’s your mob got in my place?
What time? Movies are good.
