00:00We all know it came from you, roach girl.
00:08It wasn't me.
00:09You're disgusting.
00:11Yeah, I'm sure you have like a hundred of them nesting in your old disgusting bag.
00:16I bet you she thought it was bring your pet to school day.
00:21Everyone to your seats.
00:23Now.
00:25Mr. Arnold?
00:26Honey just infested the school with her gross roaches.
00:30No, she didn't.
00:31Cockroaches always come out in warmer weather.
00:35Or when they hitch a ride with a trashy girl.
00:38Everyone, sit down.
00:40Now.
00:43Don't want to hear another word.
00:46Can you believe that?
00:49It's so disgusting.
01:00Maybe I can sneak you a hot slice on Friday.
01:18Thank you so much.
01:19Take your sad little lunch and leave our table, okay?
01:32We don't want cockroaches.
01:34We'll be doing something a little different for our Sociology 101 project.
01:46You'll be partnered with another student, and you will spend 24 hours living alongside them.
01:55Whoever gets me will be so lucky.
01:58It'll be like a vacay for some of you.
02:00Remember, it's not vacay.
02:02It's about learning about each other's social perspective.
02:06I don't think my mom would approve of this.
02:09Actually, all guardians have been informed and assigned consent.
02:13You know what?
02:15I hope I get someone cute.
02:17We'll only be partnering members from the same sex.
02:22Mama.
02:23Jordan and Kyle.
02:32Penny and Ava.
02:40No!
02:41Her?
02:42I can't stay at that dump.
02:45Ava, quiet.
02:47Respect is our number one rule here.
02:49It's okay.
02:50I could just switch partners.
02:52I'll find another one.
02:53Sorry, girls.
02:54Partners are final.
02:55I'll hand out the guidelines for the written part.
03:04I need to get these professionally cleaned.
03:09Will do.
03:10How was school?
03:11Uh, fine.
03:13Where are my parents?
03:15They had to leave for a business trip this morning.
03:18But my birthday's in two days.
03:20I'm sure it was a very important work event.
03:22I'm sure it was.
03:35Hi, Mom.
03:35Hi, Dad.
03:36Hi, sweetie.
03:38Did you forget about my birthday?
03:39Oh, about that.
03:41Look, we're going to be gone for the rest of the month, you know?
03:43Our clients need us overseas.
03:45Brew manufacturing is growing faster than ever.
03:47We know that you understand.
03:48But I...
03:49Never mind.
03:53We'll celebrate when we're back.
03:54Promise.
03:55Sure.
03:56And we left Luanne the black card, so go crazy.
03:59Yeah, shopping's free.
04:00It's better than that.
04:01All right.
04:02Well, we got to go.
04:03Okay, sweetie?
04:04Bye.
04:04Kisses.
04:05Hi, honey.
04:11How was your day?
04:14Mom, why did you agree to this project?
04:16What project?
04:17To let a classmate stay over.
04:19Oh, well, I thought it'd be fun.
04:22You never have anyone over.
04:24And maybe I can finally meet one of your friends.
04:30I should have asked you first.
04:32I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
04:34Of course you wouldn't want anyone to come over here.
04:38No, no, no.
04:40It's not that.
04:41It's just I was worried about where they'd sleep.
04:45But I know you'll make it comfortable, Mom, like you always do.
04:52Are you ready to head out?
04:54Oh, definitely.
04:55I'm starving.
04:56Okay.
04:59I just wanted to say goodnight.
05:02Goodnight.
05:03You know, I can spend the night and keep you company.
05:06It's okay.
05:07I'm used to being alone.
05:13Miss Ava.
05:13I think it's worth speaking to your parents about how you really feel.
05:19What do you mean?
05:20I'm fine.
05:23My mistake.
05:28Everyone should be heading to partner one's house tonight.
05:32For the first 24 hours.
05:35Make sure and take detailed notes for your report.
05:38So, I figure we'll go to my house first.
05:44I, like, really don't want to go to your house.
05:47So let's just put that off as long as possible.
05:50Fine with me.
05:52And make sure you don't bring any of those creepy crawlers with you.
05:55It'd be a bummer to get a huge house like mine fumigated.
05:57I, like, really don't want to go to your house.
06:00Oh, man.
06:01Luanne's here.
06:03She's my butler.
06:06Oh, butler for real?
06:19Stop.
06:19What?
06:21This rug costs more than your car.
06:23Shoes off.
06:29Ew! Where did you get your socks? The trash?
06:33Can we get some new socks for Penny, please?
06:37ASAP.
06:41Oh my gosh.
06:45I need to shower and then we can go to the mall.
06:47Uh, where should I sleep?
06:49These are for you, Penny.
06:53Thank my dad.
07:03Oh my gosh.
07:05I need that. Are you kidding me?
07:07More? Don't you think this is a little excessive?
07:09Unlimited funds.
07:11It was a birthday present for my parents.
07:13It's this weekend in case you want to get me something.
07:15Where are your parents?
07:17Away.
07:19On business for the month.
07:21Making all this money, duh.
07:23Well, what about your birthday?
07:25They're gonna be here for it, right?
07:27Uh, they're busy.
07:29I'm sorry.
07:31Okay, enough with the pity party.
07:33Do I look like I mind?
07:35Right, I'm sorry.
07:37Wow.
07:39I've never seen anything so fancy.
07:41What is it?
07:43You've never had sushi before?
07:45We have it every Thursday.
07:47This is the best thing I've ever tasted.
07:49Seriously?
07:51I mean, I can't remember last time I ate a meal at a restaurant.
07:53Let alone a private chef.
07:55Hmm.
07:57I get that I'm richer than most people, but I didn't know people were slumming it that badly.
08:01Sorry.
08:02No offense.
08:03Uh, here.
08:04Take mine.
08:05Take mine.
08:06I love you, Mom.
08:07I miss you too.
08:08I'll see you tomorrow.
08:09Can you hurry that up?
08:10I need my beauty rest.
08:11Okay.
08:12Okay.
08:13Okay.
08:14Okay.
08:15Okay.
08:16Okay.

08:31Okay.
08:32Okay.
08:33Okay.
08:34Okay.
08:35Bye.
08:38Um, are you okay?
08:40Of course I'm okay.
08:42Why don't you worry by yourself, bug girl?
08:52Perfect.
08:55But you...
08:57What?
09:00If I'm gonna be stuck with you for 24 hours, I'm gonna need to give you a glow up to match
09:04my vibes.
09:19You can borrow something, but if you get anything on it, you're dead to me. Got it?
09:23Who knew?
09:24Under all that brokenness was someone so pretty.
09:26Wait, what?
09:27Is that...
09:28Pammy?
09:29It's Penny.
09:30Doesn't she look amazed?
09:31It was all me.
09:32Uh-huh.
09:33Uh...
09:34Uh...
09:35Ava, can we talk to you for a sec?
09:36Uh...
09:37Uh...
09:38Uh...
09:39Uh...
09:40Uh...
09:41What are you doing with that loser?
09:42Did we miss something?
09:43Are you two, like, friends now?
09:44Oh my gosh, no.
09:45Uh...
09:46Uh...
09:47Uh...
09:48Uh...
09:49Uh...
09:50Uh...
09:51What are you doing with that loser?
09:52Did we miss something?
09:53Are you two, like, friends now?
09:54Oh my gosh, no.
09:55We got paired for our SOCH project.
09:56We have to spend 24 hours together.
09:57Hmm.
09:58Well, can't you fake it?
09:59I mean, do we have to hang out with her?
10:01I don't wanna get roaches on me.
10:02Yeah, what she said.
10:03Don't worry.
10:04I'm handling it.
10:05Just play along for today.
10:06Ready?
10:07Well, I should have brought my raid.
10:08I smell roaches.
10:09Funny, since you're always smelling sweaty,
10:11you're just smelling sweaty,
10:14you're just smelling sweaty,
10:16you're just smelling sweaty,
10:18you're just smelling sweaty.
10:19I don't know.
10:20I don't know.
10:21I don't know.
10:22We got paired for our SOCH project.
10:24We have to spend 24 hours together.
10:25Mm.
10:26Well, can't you fake it?
10:27I don't know.
10:28You're always smelling sweaty gym socks,
10:30poorly masked with cheap colognes.
10:34Come, Penny.
10:35Sit.
10:36You're one of us for today.
10:41Actually...
10:44Lunch is on me.
10:46I'll take that.
10:48Are you sure?
10:49Duh.
10:50It's like $3.
10:54So, Ava, shopping this weekend?
10:57Also, there's this huge party at Dylan's.
10:59Actually, there's this orchestra
11:01that I really want to go see this weekend.
11:02Oh, what, you're serious?
11:06What are you, like 70?
11:07Girl, boring.
11:08I think classical music's pretty cool.
11:09I love a good brass section.
11:10Same.
11:11It's Mahler's eighth.
11:12No way.
11:13I love that piece.
11:14Oh, my God.
11:15Do you want to come?
11:16Yes!
11:17Nettie!
11:18You're bringing all that?
11:19It's just the essentials.
11:20Listen, Ava, you don't have to do this.
11:21My place isn't exactly up to par like yours.
11:23Oh, stop it.
11:24I need to.
11:25We need a good grade.
11:26Okay.
11:27Wait.
11:28Where are you going?
11:29Home.
11:30This way.
11:31But where's your ride?
11:32Funny.
11:33This is a long walk.
11:34Do you do this every day?
11:35Yeah.
11:36It's a long walk.
11:37Do you do this every day?
11:38Yeah.
11:39Yeah.
11:40Maybe you're going to go to the bathroom.
11:41And then, Ava, you don't have to do this.
11:42My place isn't exactly up to par like yours.
11:43Oh, stop it.
11:44I need to.
11:45We need a good grade.
11:46Okay.
11:47Wait.
11:48Where are you going?
11:49Home.
11:50This way.
11:51But where's your ride?
11:52Funny.
11:53This is a long walk.
11:57Do you do this every day?
12:01Yeah.
12:02Oh, this is different.
12:11Are you sure about this?
12:13I mean, we could just lie on the assignment and say you came over.
12:16Please.
12:17I walked this long way and I'm parched.
12:19I need water.
12:20Luanne could just pick you up.
12:21Let's just go in.
12:22I need to put this down.
12:32Oh.
12:33I know.
12:34It's not much.
12:35Uh, where's your room?
12:38I don't have one.
12:40I sleep out here.
12:42You can sleep here.
12:43My mom set it up for you.
12:45I'll take the couch.
12:46Mm-hmm.
12:47Uh, thanks.
12:51Penny!
12:52Is that you?
12:53Hi, Mom.
12:54This is Ava.
12:55Hi.
12:56Oh, it's so nice to meet one of Penny's friends.
13:09This is the first time she's ever had someone over.
13:12Mom!
13:13What?
13:14I'm sorry.
13:15I'm just so excited to have you.
13:18Now, I know it's small, but I want you to feel welcome here.
13:23I made that blanket myself.
13:26Mrs.
13:27Oh, call me Helen.
13:29Helen.
13:30Are you ready to go?
13:32Yes.
13:33Where?
13:34To eat.
13:36Okay.
13:37Yeah.
13:43Why don't I just order us groceries?
13:46Or I can get us takeout.
13:48Please.
13:49You're our guests.
13:50We want to treat you, not the other way around.
13:52Hey, Helen.
13:53Penny.
13:54Want to come have dinner with us?
13:56You bet.
13:57And we got a special guest tonight.
14:04I snuck an extra peanut butter cookie for you.
14:07Thanks, Mom.
14:13Ava?
14:14Are you okay?
14:15Me?
14:16Uh, yeah.
14:18Those are the Tanners.
14:19You're such a great family.
14:20They look so happy.
14:22Do you want to play a game?
14:23Uh, sure.
14:24Yeah.
14:25Let's go.
14:26Let's go.
14:27Let's go.
14:28Do you want to play a game?
14:29Sure.
14:30Yeah.
14:31Let's go.
14:32Let's go.
14:33Let's go.
14:34Let's go.
14:35Let's go.
14:36Let's go.
14:37Let's go.
14:38Let's go.
14:39Let's go.
14:40Let's go.
14:41Let's go.
14:42Let's go.
14:43I can't believe they watched her run into the wall.
14:50That was really nice.
14:55There were so many families there and everyone was so happy.
14:59I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Ava.
15:01Do you not come from a big family?
15:03No, not really.
15:05I mean, my parents are always gone for either work or business, so.
15:10Well, the one good thing about my situation is that I get to spend time with my Penny.
15:18Ellen, can I ask what happened?
15:19Well, it's a long story, but I'll keep it short.
15:33You see, when Penny's dad passed away, I had to take whatever job I could find to support us.
15:40I got a job at a local factory.
15:44I was one of the hardest workers there until some faulty machinery ended it all.
15:51I was left partially paralyzed from a spinal cord injury.
15:57But I still had Penny, who never left my side.
16:04I tried suing the company, but they were too rich.
16:09I couldn't afford to keep the lawsuit going.
16:12So, I agreed to accept a smaller deal.
16:16A thousand dollars a month.
16:20That's awful.
16:22I can't believe that's all they'd give you after what happened.
16:25It was a local company?
16:27It was Brewers Manufacturing.
16:29You know how busy our business gets?
16:31Brewers Manufacturing is growing faster than ever.
16:37Ava?
16:38I'm sorry.
16:41That's terrible.
16:42Mommy.
16:43It's okay.
16:44As long as we have each other, right, Mom?
16:48Right, honey.
16:51I'll get the popcorn.
16:52I'll get the TV going.
16:55Come sit with me, Ava.
16:57For what?
16:58Movie night.
17:01All together?
17:03Yes, of course.
17:04You don't have to.
17:06You know, I'd like to.
17:11What are you watching?
17:12Oh my gosh.
17:13This is my favorite.
17:14What should we watch?
17:15Oh.
17:16What about Wicked?
17:17Oh, that one is so good.
17:19I love that one.
17:20I have to tell you something.
17:21What is it?
17:22The roach.
17:23It was me.
17:24I know I shouldn't have lied about it.
17:25We've been dealing with them for a while now, but we can't afford an exterminator.
17:40But I promise I sprayed everything.
17:43And I know it's really, really gross.
17:45I was just embarrassed.
17:48It's okay.
17:49Don't worry about it.
17:50Stuff happens.
17:52And I shouldn't have made such a big deal about it.
17:57Thanks.
17:58You and your mom.
18:01Yeah?
18:05You're really sweet.
18:06Yeah, I'm very lucky.
18:08Nothing compared to your family, though.
18:13Since we're being honest, I basically live alone.
18:17My parents are never home.
18:20And my house staff is closer to me than my real parents, so...
18:26Pathetic.
18:27I know.
18:28No, not pathetic.
18:31I'm sorry.
18:32I didn't know you were dealing with that.
18:35I know it's not much, but you have a family with me and my mom.
18:42Have you tried talking to them?
18:44It's not like they would listen.
18:47You never know.
18:51Night.
18:52Good night.
18:57Ava!
18:58Look.
18:59I know it's old school, but it's from my mom's collection.
19:01She has, like, every kind of music.
19:03So, think of it as an early birthday gift.
19:06She said she'd like for you to have it.
19:08No way.
19:09I love it.
19:11Sure thing.
19:13And, hey, I think that music's really cool.
19:15So, don't let your friends put you down for what you like.
19:18Ah, wait.
19:21Do you have an outfit I can borrow?
19:26They're not as nice as yours, are you sure?
19:28It's part of the experiment, right?
19:30Besides, you'd be returning the favor.
19:32Oh, girl.
19:33What are you wearing?
19:34Did you get that, like, from the lost and found?
19:35Actually, it's Penny's, and it's pretty comfy.
19:37You gotta take that off.
19:38Is this a prank or something?
19:39Yeah.
19:40Like, we can't be seen with you in that.
19:41And I bet it's crawling with Roach.
19:42It's just like the rest of Penny's, though.
19:43You know what?
19:44I really don't care what you guys think.
19:45Penny's super cool.
19:46And not to mention a lot nicer than you two.
19:47And with better music taste.
19:49I will be heading home.
19:50But I'd be more than happy to stay over.
19:51And we can celebrate your birthday tomorrow morning.
19:52Thanks, Luanne.
19:53Thanks, Luanne.
19:54I'll see you next time.
19:55I'll see you next time.
19:56Bye.

20:41Bye.
20:42Bye.
20:43Bye.
20:44Bye.
20:45Bye.
20:46Bye.
20:47Bye.
20:48Bye.
20:49Are you okay?
20:51No.
20:53I'm not okay. I miss you guys.
20:55I want to spend time together and actually see you in person.
20:58And I want you here for me when it matters.
21:00Like on my birthday.
21:03Do I not matter enough?
21:05Honey, of course you matter. We had no idea you felt this way.
21:09Look, we're gonna book the first flight home.
21:12You are the most important thing in the world to us.
21:15And we're sorry that we never made that clear.
21:18But that ends today.
21:20We just want you to be happy, honey.
21:22Is there anything else we can do?
21:27Well, there is one thing.
21:30Oh, hey. Did you forget something?
21:33Ava, nice to see you.
21:35Hi. Um, actually I came here because I wanted to be honest about something.
21:42Brewer Manufacturing is my parents' company.
21:46And I hope you don't hate me now for it.
21:49I promise.
21:50I had no idea about the accident or the lawsuit.
21:53And I don't agree with how they handled things at all.
21:56Well, thank you for telling me.
21:58But of course we don't blame you for that.
22:02Yeah. You couldn't have known.
22:04We didn't get the best deal out of the settlement, but it's okay.
22:08Because we have each other.
22:10What else could we need? Right, Penny?
22:12Exactly.
22:13I had a talk with my parents and apparently they had no idea about this either.
22:18This is for you.
22:21No.
22:22No.
22:23No.
22:24Are you serious?
22:26This is insane.
22:27This is too much.
22:28No.
22:29It's what you deserve.
22:30I have no idea how to thank you for this.
22:44I know money isn't everything, but I hope it helps.
22:48Thank you so much.
22:51No.
22:52Thank you, Penny.
22:54I'll see you at school.
22:56And I think we'll get an A on that report.
22:59Ava, wait.
23:01Yeah?
23:02Isn't today your birthday?
23:03What are you doing later?
23:04No way.
23:05Happy birthday.
23:07No, not really anything.
23:10My parents don't fly until tomorrow.
23:12So.
23:13Well.
23:14We'll celebrate.
23:15Yes.
23:16Come on in.
23:17Come on.
23:18I love you.
23:20Hey, Darman fam.
23:24Make sure to check out this video.
23:25I'm sure you're going to love it.
