Hello, Ben.
I'm Dr. Holloway.
OK.
On a scale from 1 to 100, 100 being the best, 1
is the worst, what do you think your level of functioning is?
1.
I'm gonna write down 20.
It's 1.
If you were 1, you'd be a zombie right now.
I am.
On a scale from 1 to 7, 1 means you're so depressed
that you need hospitalization and 7 means full-blown mania.
What is your current mood?
I'd say it's a 2 but also somehow a 5, I think.
You have what is called a mixed state.
You're experiencing depression and mania simultaneously.
OK, cool, I guess.
Did you go to medical school to learn how to say that?
So what happened at school?
First class at noon.
Dad, I need to find dry cleaning because I have three
fucking luggage bags of shit that
need to go into my dresser, into my closet,
and everything is wrinkled as fuck.
And I need to find out where the nearest dry cleaner is.
Maybe they have an iron.
I don't iron.
I don't know how to do that.
I get stuff dry cleaned because it's the 21st century.
- There she is. - Hello!
Nancy Glass.
Oh, it's wonderful to meet you.
This is Ben.
Hi, Ben.
Hey, nice to meet you.
How are you?
And I'm David.
Thank you so much again for everything.
Oh, you're so welcome.
That's what the Student Disabilities
Office is here for.
Wonderful.
Thank you.
So this is the new home for Ben.
Yes.
Thanks for helping me unpack.
This place looks fun.
I want to go to school here.
We love you.
OK, I know.
Whatever.
All right, dude.
Lot of pretty girls, right?
Yeah.
Um, I gotta get ready for class.
OK.
I'm Brian.
I haven't declared my major yet.
It's between business school and fine arts.
I guess I'm bipolar in terms of my interests.
Thank you.
Hi, I'm Ben Glass, and I'm a film major,
and I'm a new transfer student.
And unlike Brian, I'm actually literally bipolar.
But I prefer to call it recklessly extravagant.
Thank you.
Our first assignment is going to be a short film
based on real experiences.
Hey, what, uh, what are those exactly?
Adderall.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, I take this for ADHD.
Yeah, I've heard of those.
Those help you keep, like, focused and still, right?
Yeah, you know, I drink a vodka with Coke
and pour a 5-hour Energy shot into it.
And, uh, I down all of that with the Adderall.
Oh, that-- that doesn't kill you?
No. Of course not.
I'm gonna ride.
She gonna ride.
We gonna ride. I'm a what?
I'm gonna ride.
She gonna ride.
We gonna ride. I'm a what?
I'm gonna ride.
She gonna ride.
I'm a what? I'm gonna ride.
She gonna ride.
All right, all right, you matching me.
You matching me. You're matching me.
I see you. I see you.
Hold up. Hold up.
Hold up.
Hold up.
All you.
All you right now.
Hey.
I'm Ben.
This is my friend Griffiin.
Hey.
What-- what are y'all's names?
Or, I mean to say, what are your names?
I'm Beth.
I'm Tiffany.
Well, it's nice to meet both of you.
I, uh-- it's funny.
I never know how to address two people at once.
They say y'all in Texas where I just transferred from.
Hey, do you wanna go to the bathroom?
Dude, that was so awkward.
Hey, it's my mom.
Gimme a second.
So, uh, my first week was cool.
Is that music in the background?
Yeah, I'm in a stoplight party
in, uh, senior housing.
What's a stoplight party?
Uh, green means you're single.
Yellow means it's complicated.
And red means you're in a relationship.
What color are you wearing?
Mom, what do you think?
Well, um, there's a sale at Macy's.
I could send you all the red clothing you want.
That's so lame I might vomit.
I love you.
Bye.
Hey.
