. pomp and circumstance

ROSIE No, that never does anyone any good. Like you’ve said before, I can’t fault you for how you grew up and what you have access to. It’s just...different!

[tate mccarthy]

TATE i would have thought you'd be used to it by now.

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE Me too, but then I just run into something else that takes me a minute. I never know how to explain it properly without it coming out wrong. I just like, have to put myself in your shoes and recalibrate? And I'm at full mental capacity with this pandemic thoroughly derailing our life so I can't do that well right now.

[tate mccarthy]

TATE okay. this probably isn't great timing but i need to talk to you about my internship.

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE ...I'm not going to like this, am I?

[tate mccarthy]

TATE it's really not a big deal... but it's at weathers inc. I didn't want to say because obviously it's like, a great company and everything, huge or whatever, and it's kinda embarrassing to be there just 'cause my dad and jonny weathers are old friends.

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE So are you saying this in a subtle, this is actually a big deal kind of way? Or in a 'flagging late in the game that I'll be working with an ex girlfriend' kind of way?

[tate mccarthy]

TATE i don't know if i'll be working with her, just that i'll be, idk, in her sphere i guess?

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE K. Thanks for letting me know.

[tate mccarthy]

TATE she's in LA, it's not like we're cubicle buddies!

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE Cool? I don't know what you want me to say, you're giving me whiplash.

[tate mccarthy]

TATE okay, i'm sorry, i just didn't want you to think it was weird.

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE It's more weird how it went from you just, not wanting to do it to being like oh by the way my ex may be involved don't be mad. It's fine, I'm not like, over here envisioning you having phone sex with Dolly Weathers on company conference lines.

[tate mccarthy]

TATE i still don't want to do it!

[rosie de la cruz]

ROSIE Tough. Speaking of exes, my old boyfriend from freshman year just started liking all my instagram photos. Do we think his account was hacked or will there be an inevitable slide into my DM's?
