  • of attention to me all the time.

  • - Yeah, okay, got it, done baby girl.

  • I'm DM'ing you memes right now.

  • - Not just memes!

  • Whenever I monologue,

  • and you bet your ass I'm gonna monologue constantly,

  • you can't interrupt me,

  • you just have to let me emotionally vent.

  • - You got it. - I'm monologuing!

  • Okay, I'm done monologuing.

  • - Wow, that was great baby girl,

  • that was so much better

  • than anything I ever saw at Emerson.

  • (both clap)

  • - That was great. - So good.

  • - Why do you keep bringing up college, Michelle?

  • You know I didn't go to college

  • and that it's a real insecurity of mine.

  • - I'm sorry.

  • - Yeah Michelle, stop antagonizing.

  • - Oh, like you're any better, Melissa?

  • Oh, I'm Melissa Macedo,

  • I did a double major at NYU in gender studies and acting.

  • I hope you're both really happy with yourselves,

  • losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition

  • to an institution that promised higher education

  • would equal job opportunity,

  • but in reality, it doesn't for our generation!

  • - I actually went to Columbia. - Shut up!

  • That's even more impressive!

  • Okay, my next demand: all your other friendships.

  • They're done now, okay?

  • We're going full isolation, it's just us three.

  • I'm in control.

  • And then things are gonna go my way or the explode way.

  • - Yep, you're our only friend. - Done.

  • - Break up with your significant others.

  • Do it!

  • - Hey Nathan,

  • I don't love you anymore. - Jason,

  • it's over now. - Please, don't call me.

  • Don't follow up. - Hurry up!

  • - Okay, I have to go.

  • - Now that it's finally just the three of us...

  • we're going to Cabo, bitches! (giggles)

  • - What? - I just ended my marriage.

  • - Yeah, okay, so it was a surprise,

  • but I basically got us a private jet.

  • One full week in Cabo, all expenses on ya girl, don't worry.

  • We're gonna see clear water beaches,

  • we are gonna get massages,

  • and I hired some muscular men to feed us some fruit.

  • Us newly single ladies are gonna have

  • the time (snap) of (snap) our (snap) lives! (snap)

  • - I just ended my marriage.

  • - Anna, I know you're not a bad person.

  • You just grew up in an unstable family dynamic

  • and you're addicted to chaos.

  • - And let's be honest,

  • you probably have a touch of mental illness

  • and it's manifested as emotional terrorism.

  • - But you can't keep popping up out of nowhere,

  • threatening to explode us to pick a fight with us.

  • - We won't be held hostage anymore.

  • - Oh, so you don't wanna go to Cabo?

  • - No, we don't wanna go to Cabo.

  • - Well then, do you wanna go to Explode Town!?

  • - Yeah!

  • You know what, I don't care.

  • I just ended my 10 year marriage

  • because of your emotional manipulation.

  • So yeah, explode us Anna!

  • - Yeah, just explode us,

  • it's better than dealing with this abuse for any longer.

  • - Explode us! - Explode me,

  • you fucking coward!

  • - (laughing) Oh my god, you guys.

  • Wow, I see those acting degrees showing.

  • It's a joke!

  • It's a joke, look, it's not even real!

  • Look, it's graphics, see?

  • Megan, make it a teddy bomb. (magical chiming)

  • See? Oh my god, it's fake.

  • It's a joke, take a joke. (police siren wailing)

  • What is that?

  • Remember when I said I was DM'ing you memes?

  • I wasn't. - You called the police on me?

  • - Worse.

  • We called your therapist. - No.

  • - You're clearly not holding yourself

  • emotionally accountable in your sessions with her.

  • - So we will.

  • - You backstabbing-! (ladies screaming)

  • - This ends now, Anna.

  • - It's for your own good!

  • (Anna cries) - I didn't mean it, okay?

  • I don't wanna feel like this.

  • - We know, baby girl. - We know.

  • (Anna crying) - [Therapist] Anna,
