Netflix presents Surviving Hawkins, starring Maya Hawke and Sean Maher, written by Lauren Chippen. Enjoy the show. Hey, Carrie, you were right. Terms of endearment is outselling rumble fish. Told you. Milky Way's on me. Gambling at work, Robin? Mr. Hauser, what are you doing here? This is the right place to see a movie, isn't it? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that we do that here. When you're not betting candy bars, that is. gotta pass the time somehow. Mr. Hauser? Hey, Kate. Dash. Mr. Hauser? Oh. Hey, Robin. Hey. See you in band tomorrow? I don't see why you wouldn't. So I take it things are still rocky with Kate? What'll it be? Movie-wise, I mean. Um, well, I hate to put you further in the hole, but one ticket to terms of endearment, please Craitor Have you seen it yet? Mm-hmm, several times See? Sometimes seeing a movie a few times can be fun No, hold on, it's not the same I'm not paying to see Tom Cruise's mug at the camera Seeing a movie four times is an occupational hazard for me now It's very different So what'd you think of the movie? It's not really my thing I mean, I like Debra Winger She's got a certain something. You don't say. But I don't really need to watch a bunch of small-town family drama and romance. I live here, after all. But I'm sure you'll love it. I'll try not to take that as the veiled insult. I'm sure it is. I'm surprised. I thought you would have been all over Rumblefish. I was. Two months ago when it came out. Hawkins Theater. Always on the cutting edge. What'd you think? I liked it. The Outsiders is still my favorite. Well, of course. Scott Tom Cruise. But I prefer the books of both. You have to say that. You're an English teacher. No, I really do mean it. There's something about S.E. Hinton's writing that gets at the heart of teen angst in a way that movies cannot. Because she was 16 when she wrote it, you can't fake that kind of pure-from-the-source angst. Very good point. So, um, do you fancy yourself a Mr. Seamy? Giving the troubled teen an assignment that's going to pull their whole life into focus? Well, if you end up turning our lunches into an iconic novel, I should hope I'd at least make the acknowledgements Deal But first, you owe me three dollars You know, seeing a movie by yourself on a Thursday night is pretty lame-o Not even trying to veil the digs now, I see. I just mean it's the last showing we have tonight, so I usually sneak back and watch. I was gonna do Rumblefish again tonight Aren you a little young to be seeing that movie Ratings don apply to theater employees Yeah that seems like a real policy What I was saying is if you wanted company to make you less pathetic I could take pity on you Oh, that's, um... You don't really need to do that. I really don't mind. Well, I don't... I don't think it's... I don't think that's a good idea. Oh. It's just, you know, we're outside of school, it wouldn't be... it wouldn't be appropriate. Is this because of the car ride the other day? It's because of a lot of things. The phone calls. Just trust me. Okay. Robin, I'm not trying. It's... I will not be lonely, I promise. I see movies like this all the time. Right. Well, enjoy the show. Right. Thanks, Robin. See you tomorrow. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Um, are you okay? Oh, uh, yep, totally fine. What can I do for you? One ticket to Terms of Endearment, please. Of course. Not a fan? Oh, no, sorry, it's just... It's not a bad movie or anything, it's just popular tonight. We've sold 11 whole tickets. Wow, packed house. Oh, yeah, better rush in there and grab a good seat. Thankfully I'm meeting a friend, so I'm sure he's already gotten us front row center. Lucky you. How'd we do? Thirteen tickets for Terms of Endearment. And two for Rumblefish. You really do love the underdog. Yeah, yeah, let's go get your Milky Way. Hey, aren't those your friends? Oh, uh... What are their names again? Uh, Kate and... Dash. Kate and Dash. Come on. You don't want to say I? Not really. Ooh. Sounds like drama. What's the deal? No drama, just... Oh, let me guess. Okay, they started dating... And you became the third wheel. Yeah, something like that. Your reward, madame. Thank you. Mm. You know, I bet, if you got a boyfriend too, you could smooth over whatever's gotten out of whack. What? No better cure for a third wheel than slapping a fourth wheel on. I think I'm good. Suit yourself. Well, sounds like Terms of Endearment is finally over. All right, go on home. I'll close up tonight. Are you sure? Yeah, totally. Maybe even go meet up with your friends or whatever. Right. Thanks, Carrie. Well, I think that was much better than the last one. What was it called? Oh, The Lonely Lady. The Lonely Lady, that's right. That was awful. Robin. Uh, hey. Good movie? Very enjoyable. Yep, great flick. Well, good meeting you. Yeah, you too. Have a good night. Thanks for coming. So, do you end up watching the movie with someone after all? What? That guy, is he a friend of yours? Oh no we were just um we were both walking out at the same time We got to talking about it Another thing I love about small towns everyone is very friendly Sure Yeah I guess Anyway, I'm... I should get going. It is a school night, after all. You have a way of getting home? Yeah, my dad's coming to pick me up. Okay, good. Good. All right, well, stay gold, pony boy. Ha ha, right. Bye, Carrie! Later! Shopping pretty late, aren't we? No, no, Robin. We are not going to follow our teacher who is minding his own business. Who? What if someone else was following Hauser first? Hauser would want me to look out for him, right? Like maybe he's about to get mugged and I can scare the mugger off. What are you doing? Dash, what are you doing? Following Mr. Hauser. I can see that. Why? We're losing him. Come on. Dash, wait. So why were you following Mr. Hauser? I wasn't. I was following you, you idiot. I thought Hauser was going to get mugged. In the middle of downtown Hawkins? Come on. All right, well, if you're not going to mug him, what exactly are you doing? I want to know what he's doing downtown late on a Thursday night. He was seeing a movie. Teachers are allowed to see movies. Then why not park right outside the theater? The whole street is empty. I don't know, Dash. Maybe he lives in walking distance. You know that for a fact? What? No. He hasn't invited you back to his place for some one-on-one tutoring yet? Excuse me? Shit, shit. Move. Hey, careful there. This is members only. Don't be such a baby. He almost saw us. You know, if he wanted to get me into a dark corner, all he had to do was ask. You wish. What is your problem with Mr. Hauser? Have you been eating lunch with him? It's not like I'm eating lunch with you and Kate. You could, you know. Are you kidding me right now? You know I can't, Dash. I don't get why you're being such a drama queen about this. Let's just move on. I'm being the drama queen? I'm not the one who decided to be a complete jerk. How was I being a jerk? I really cannot deal with you right now, Dash. See? He's just getting ice cream. How suspicious. And you know what? Ice cream sounds really good right now, so I'm just gonna... Wait, Robin! Let go of me! You can't go in there! Why not? Oh my God. Did you abandon Kate on your date to stalk your English teacher? I told her I had to pay the meter. You're unbelievable. I'm gonna go tell her that you are just a two-faced- No, no, come on. Don't do that. Wait Where did Hauser go He must have uh He must have what It one room Robin Where did he go I don I bet he went out through the back Why would he Come on, he's gonna get away! Damn it! I don't... I don't get it. See, I knew! I knew he was up to something weird! Why would you park your car in an alley? That wasn't his car. How do you know what Mr. Hauser's car looks like? I don't know. I see him in the parking lot. What does it matter? It matters because you can't seem to see that this guy is a creep. You have no idea what you're talking about. Just because he doesn't wear topsiders and fit into whatever image of cool teacher you have in your head doesn't mean that he's creepy. This guy just went through an ice cream shop just to get into someone else's car? And you're telling me that's not weird to you? You left your girlfriend alone on a date for 15 minutes to go spy on your teacher dash. I don't think that you're in a position to be the arbiter of what's weird or not weird or to judge other people's behavior. I'm serious, Robin. If he's ever... I mean, you know how Mr. Van Houten hit on Kate. That's... this is not that. Just because he's younger than most of our teachers and, like, relates to you or whatever doesn't mean that what he's doing is okay. I don't know what you think he's doing, but I promise you there is nothing wrong with me eating in Hauser's classroom. How about spending time in his car? Oh, my God, you're deluded! Robin, you have to be careful with him. No, I don't! How do you know? I know, okay? I know. He's not like that. Whatever you're thinking about, about the way that things are between the two of us, I promise you, you're wrong. You can't know that for certain, Robin. I can, actually. Hauser is not Mr. Van Houten, okay? He's different. He's different from all the other teachers. Different how? I don't know. I can't explain it. He just is. In my experience, different isn't usually good. Yeah. Well, your experience sucks. You're scared of everything that's different. And that doesn't make you right or good or better than anyone, Dash. It just makes you a coward. I am not a coward. If you stopped being so stubborn all the time and opened your eyes, you'd see that. Dash, what are you talking about? Forget it. Looks like your ride's here. Wait, wait, just a second. See you around, Robin. Dash! Yeah, Dad, I'm coming! I'm coming! Dash! Someone's got to look out for you, Robin. We'll see you next time. directed by Lauren Shippen.
