For the Love of Jason (2020) s01e01 Episode Script

1
WOMAN: So what brings
us here today, Jason?
JASON: Just in this weird space.
You care to elaborate a
little bit more on that?
Just been depressed,
not want to do much.
When's the last time that
you did something fun?
Gotta lot of shit
playing with my mental ♪
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
Hear strange sounds
coming from a distance ♪
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
It's been so long, I
can't even remember.
WOMAN: Is there anything in particular
that you think may be
triggering this feeling?
JASON: Probably this
wedding I'm going to tomorrow
and all the stress that's
coming along with it.
Whose wedding?
My boy Erick's.
We've been friends since high school.
Mm. Now, if it's Erick's wedding,
why are you stressing?
'Cause I don't got my shit together.
WOMAN: Now, is that a true feeling,
or is that a feeling you've
allowed society to give you?
This is your safe space.
Maybe it's a little of both.
Or maybe I'm just in my head.
It's just all moving so quick.
I don't even have a date
for the wedding tomorrow.
I mean, my friends Lacy
and Bryan will be there
to make things a little better,
but I know it's gonna be
a ton of family and friends
asking a whole lot of questions.
Now, how are things in the
dating department for you?
All I want is the
lust and the kisses ♪
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
Watch tickin', I
ain't even done livin' ♪
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
Got a lot of shit
playin' with my mental ♪
I'm dating.
But definitely no one
I'd bring to the wedding.
Okay. We've worked
through a lot of things
in the past with relationships.
And now that you are dating again,
are you dating with intent?
Yeah. I mean, I got it all
out of my system. I'm ready.
I do see the change in
you since we started,
and eventually you'll see it, as well.
Things will eventually start
moving in the right direction.
But I don't want you to be
too hard on yourself, okay?
Now you sound like Alexandria.
[CHUCKLES] See that?
Even your sister knows.
Yeah, but she can't even
come out the closet to my mom.
But this is my session.
Exactly. Do not deflect.
I won't.
What I want you to do is try to focus
on your friend's big day tomorrow.
Celebrate him. You
think you can do that?
Yeah. Yeah.
I think I will do that. Makes sense.
IDD: So I want you to go in there,
try to have the most amazing time.
But even if you can't have a good one,
don't you dare go messing
up nobody else's, okay?
[CHUCKLES] All right.
Sippin' whiskey, don't even drink ♪
I pay my dues, woke up tipsy ♪
Why the universe going against me? ♪
Got the universe going against me ♪
Lost in limbo, thoughts crescendo ♪
Blowing smoke, close the window ♪
I just wanna get my rhythm back ♪
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
[EXHALES DEEPLY] Hello?
IDD: Bro, what are you doing?
You were supposed to
be here an hour ago.
Oh, fuck.
Shit, man. I'm on my way. Sorry.
Damn.
Baby, I don't think it's a good idea
for you to smoke a
joint before the wedding.
Are you kidding me?
I was high at our own wedding.
You know, you should take a
couple of puffs for yourself.
It'll free you up so you can feel
all the beautiful vibrations today.
Would you mind toning down
the vibrations just a bit?
Erick's gonna be upset if
you scare off his guests.
Overdosing on the strong ♪
Can't keep it out my mind ♪
Can I take you home? ♪
Mr. and Mrs. Davidson.
Sorry I'm running late.
Oh, no worries, Jason.
Just glad you could make it.
- Hey, Jason.
- How you doing?
Come here, sweetie.
I'm picking up an aura from you.
You know what? Close
your eyes and breathe.
Okay? Now let out all the toxins.
Uh-huh. And take a puff of this.
- Yeah.
- Come on.
I don't think that's a good idea.
I'll see you guys inside, okay?
Okay, see you inside.
Okay.
He don't know what he's missing.
- Sexy chocolate.
- Oh, man.
Why is your collar so big?
Yo, what's up, baby?
What's Wait. Okay.
See, I told your ass to lay
off them drinks last night.
Did I not? Did I not?
- Finish that for me.
- My bad, man.
Man, I drunk too much last night, bro.
Look, I need you to
pull it together, okay?
Today is my big day.
I got you, man. Anybody
got any aspirin, man?
- My head is killing me.
- I got you right here, player.
Here.
- Appreciate it.
- Yeah, no problem.
And wash it down with this.
Everybody knows the best
way to get over a hangover
is to have another drink.
ERICK: Jay.
What's up?
Look, I need you to
guard this with your life.
'Cause if you lose this, I'll kill you.
I'll revive you and I'll kill you again.
- I got you, man.
- All right.
Curious to see the view ♪
Now drowning in the waves of you ♪
I'm falling, falling ♪
Lisa, you look beautiful.
Whew. I am trying not to cry right now.
Unh-unh, Lacy, don't you dare, okay,
because you know it took
forever to do my makeup.
It's just Erick. It's all right.
Unh-unh-unh, you are speaking
about my husband, thank you.
I was just testing you,
making sure you still wanted
to go through with this.
- Uh-huh.
- But I want to thank you.
You saved my friend.
At the rate he was going,
he could have ended up with anything,
a stripper, an Insta
thot, a streetwalker.
But you saved him.
And you whipped that man into shape.
And look at him now.
Look at you now.
Thank you, Lacy, for
those kind, kind words.
I think.
No, that's that's a compliment.
So you ready?
Hey, man, as ready as I'm gonna be.
- Okay.
- You know, Jay, I always thought
you would have been the
first one getting hitched.
I mean, you're not getting any younger.
It's time for your
black ass to settle down.
Man, settle Dude.
You've been engaged to Alicia
for the past three years.
When are you gonna stop
stringing her along?
Oh, my bad, my bad, my bad.
'Cause letting go of those side chicks
a little bit too much for you to handle.
Got it.
How about you stay out of
grown folks' business, okay?
See, our situation is different.
And actually, if you count our breakups,
we've really only been
together under a year.
I mean, at least I'm halfway there.
Your black ass is single
and starting from scratch.
How about that?
ERICK: Jay, there is a fine line
between settling and compromising.
IDD: You know, I'm still confused
why you would even let Carmen get away.
Thaat fat ass? Pshoo!
And she seemed to meet
everything on your list.
Uh, yeah, about Carmen, uh
Lisa invited her to the wedding.
Ooh.
What?
But, girl, you know what?
I tell women all the time,
you need to go ahead
and just grab the reins
and tell your man what it is
that he needs and what he wants
'cause you know they have no clue.
- None.
- [LISA LAUGHS]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Come in.
- Oh, Carmen, you made it.
- CARMEN: Of course!
You know I would not
miss this for the world.
Wow, you are stunning bride.
[SQUEALS]
Oh. Hey, Lacy.
Hey, girl.
So anyways, okay, are you by yourself,
or am I finally gonna
meet this fiancé of yours?
Yes. [LAUGHS]
He is waiting for me out front.
LISA: Aw, that's so good.
Oh, he's in front?
Yeah.
Okay. He's by himself?
Well, I'm here, so,
yeah, he's there by him
- Congratulations again.
- Oh.
- Good to see you, Lacy.
- Uh-huh. Bye, girl.
Okay. Bye, girl. Don't mind her.
So I'm very excited to meet him, though.
- I'm so glad you're here.
- Oh.
Yeah.
I know someone is not
gonna feel that way.
JASON: Why would she
think it's a good idea
to invite my ex to your wedding?
I don't know.
- Why would you even let her?
- BRYAN: Let her?
I'm sorry. Have you
ever met Lisa before?
Now, this is going to be good.
You know they kept in contact
after you guys broke up.
This is what I do not need.
I don't got time for
this. And you know what?
She's probably gonna bring that
little whack-ass fiancé of hers.
Damn, I don't feel like this shit today.
Okay, be cool. Everything's
gonna be all right.
Actually, I heard Carmen's dude
just made the Forbes "top
businessmen under 40" list.
Does he sound lame to you?
He doesn't sound lame to
me. He sound lame to you?
JASON: Okay, okay, okay.
- Let me ask you this.
- What's up?
How long does his sack
hang? 'Cause you holding it.
- You holding it kind of tight.
- ERICK: Hey, hey. Guys, guys.
Look, relax, man.
You are the one, honey.
The most beautiful
bride I have ever seen.
I appreciate you.
I'm glad you're here, though.
Me too.
If you don't mind, I have
a question for you, my love.
What's the question?
So, are you happy?
You know that girl is in love with you.
She would drop that dude in a minute
if you came to your senses.
I'm not coming to my senses.
I was not gonna settle
because she gave me some ultimatum.
I mean, I needed more time.
Jay, how much more time did you need?
You guys dated for three years.
Since you guys broke
up, since you guys split,
have you met one girl who's
come close to her, hmm?
I'll wait.
We're waiting.
I didn't have time to
wait around for Jason
to figure out what he wanted.
- Yeah.
- He has a lot of trust issues.
- And we are not in our 20s.
- No.
So I moved on.
But are you over him?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
LISA: You know what? Hey, hey, hey.
I apologize, 'cause first of
all, that's none of my business,
and second of all, what's
important is that you're happy.
- Okay?
- Yes. Yes.
I I I am happy.
- I love you.
- I love you.
CARMEN: Okay. Let me let
you finish getting ready.
I will see you when you are
officially Mrs. Davidson.
- Right?
- That's right.
CARMEN: Mrs. Davidson!
- Get out of the way, everybody.
- That part. [LAUGHS]
I'll admit, pickings are
slim, but I'll be good.
So you ready? Let's go, man.
BRYAN: Let's do it. It's game time!
JASON: What are you doing?
My legs can't move, bro. They numb.
JASON: Man, they better move
before Lisa come back here
and make sure they don't move again.
What happened to, "Jay, I'm
ready as I'm gonna be, man."
You did say that.
But shit just got real, man.
- What am I doing?
- BRYAN: What are you doing?
You are about to go
marry a fine-ass woman
who was crazy enough to
marry a loudmouth little man
who can barely keep the lights on.
Boy, take your ass out
there and marry this woman
before she comes to her senses.
Damn, are we all in high school again?
Lacy, what are you doing back here?
Now is not a good time.
I was just checking on Erick,
making sure them feet wasn't
getting cold back here.
JASON: Not now, Lacy!
Okay. Listen.
I came back here to tell Erick
I'm wishing him the
best on the ceremony,
but who you need to be
concerned with is Carmen.
Yes. She brought her rich,
fine, tall-ass fiancé with her.
- Not now, Lacy.
- LACY: Okay, okay.
I'm gonna leave, but before I go,
just know they want to
know what's taking so long.
Is it gay sex back here?
Okay. All right. I'm out.
Listen, man.
Remember the first time
you went out with Lisa?
What did you say?
You're like, "Jay, I
think I met my wife."
This is your moment.
Don't let it pass you by, bro.
If you two are finished
with this horrible rendition
of "The Best Man" meets "The Wood,"
there's a wedding waiting to start.
[SIGHS]
You know what?
- You guys are right.
- Thank you.
[SIGHS]
Let me go out there and get my wife.
- Ooh!
- Yeah.
Boy, you better get it. Get that.

Hey!
You better pump your brakes, player.
Get you a little piece
of this dry-ass cake,
put it on your stomach.
Yeah, I hate weddings.
Tell me about it. Me too.
Listen, every time I come to one,
I can't help but to think about
my no-good ex-husband, Chauncey.
His raggedy broke ass.
Ain't never been through nothing
Not now, Lacy.
I'm not in the mood for another
"no-good-ass Chauncey" moment.
You're right. You're
right. You're right.
Which is why I came over
here to cheer you up.
I got somebody I want you to meet.
- Who?
- LACY: My friend.
My line sister Natalie.
Come here, girl.
Natalie, this is Jason.
Jason, Natalie.
Nice to meet you.
Go, Natalie. Go.
Um, I have to go make
a call real quick, okay?
He gonna be back.
You want this cake?
At least two years ago.
Oh, hey.
Hi, Jason. Uh, how are you?
I'm good. Yourself?
I'm great.
This is Mark, my fiancé.
- Mark, this is Jason.
- Nice to meet you.
Sure. Nice to meet you.
It was good seeing you, Carmen.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I got to go
make my rounds, you know.
Uh, congrats on your engagement, though.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Good to see you.
Beautiful and terrible ♪
Mm, look beautiful, Mrs. Davidson.
Hmm. I like the sound of that.
Baby, can you believe
that we finally did it?
Like, we are here.
Yes, we are here.
Man, you know I had to go on
and throw away that player card.
I thought you been threw that away.
- Yep, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- Uh-huh.
But, you know, I thought you
were getting cold feet earlier.
You know what? It was that boy Jason.
- Yeah.
- You know, he's a mess.
He was kind of upset that you
invited Carmen to the wedding.
Papi, their issues
aren't our responsibility.
Besides, it's been a
beautiful day, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, you don't mind if I
read your vibrations, do you?
'Cause they're so good.
- Are you serious right now?
- Such clarity.
She's got such clarity
in her life, such purpose.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- It's beautiful.
- Honey.
Okay.
[SIGHS]
Baby, I'm just grateful
that you were able
to just accept all of me.
I know it hasn't been easy.
Are you kidding me?
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Baby, it's our differences that
makes me love you even more.
- Mm.
- Mm-hmm.
You always know the right thing to say.
I mean, you know that's
how I snatched you up
- in the first place, right?
- Yeah.
Now let me go on and get
some of them luscious lips.
Mmm.
[LAUGHS]
I know you not even trying to do that.
- Stop.
- Aren't you engaged?
Don't you have a fiancée?
What are you talking about?
Look, mind your business, Lacy.
I got this.
Hm. Let me guess.
You picked a fight with her so
you wouldn't have to bring her
and feel all of the pressure.
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
So when are you gonna find somebody
so you can stay out of
everyone else's business?
You and Chauncey have
been divorced for what,
- over a year now?
- I don't need a man right now.
I'm focused on my acting career, yes.
Oh, so does it bother you
that you're a former
struggling child star
with a failed marriage in her early 30s?
You know, I give a
special rate to friends
who need to come lay
their head on my couch
- and have a
conversation. - Mm-hmm.
In the words of flight attendants,
secure yourself before
you secure others.
You stupid bull head.
I cannot stand you.
Yo, so who's your busted friend
you introduced Jason
to a few minutes ago?
You know you wrong for that,
kicking that man when he's down.
That is my line sister Natalie.
- And she is not busted.
- Busted.
She just is eclectic.
And you guys are too stupid
to see her unique beauty.
Get it, girl.
Well, the fact that you used
those peculiar adjectives
further supports my statement busted.
LACY: Look at Jason.
This is not going to end well for him.
Mnh-mnh. At all.
[CELLPHONE RINGING]
Ladies, don't ever video call
someone without an appointment.
That's just rude.
You're never too far ♪
You're never too, you're never too ♪
You're never too far ♪
Why you over here looking like
somebody done stole your puppy?
You ought to be tossing
back drinks with your boy,
celebrating. Look at them.
I'm definitely tossing back drinks.
Look, sis, I'm happy for Erick.
But this has been one
long and draining day.
I'm just ready for it to be over.
Let me guess. Carmen.
I saw her and that backup
boo a few minutes ago.
I give them three months tops.
I'm just tired of all the questions.
You know I know about that all too well.
Ooh, and here come a million
of them headed in our direction.
I'm out.
Whoa. [LAUGHS]
Isn't this beautiful,
what Erick and Lisa have?
Marriage is a beautiful thing, son.
You know, no matter how much
how much your father burned my nerves,
I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
I wish he was here to
talk some sense into you.
Which is why I can only
think what would have happened
if you had just stuck
it out with Carmen?
Look, Ma, I know you see her
over there with her fiancé.
It's not happening.
Yeah, I see her, but fiancé,
that don't mean husband.
Okay? You know your mama.
I was "engaged" a few times.
You know what? I hear you, Ma.
But I really don't want to talk
about this right now, please.
I always wanted a
granddaughter. You know I do.
I want to dress her up in
those pretty little dresses.
I still got some of Alex's dresses
out there in storage right now.
Come on, now. Besides,
she's a beautiful girl.
Y'all can give me some cute grand babies.
Hi, Patricia.
[CLEARS THROAT] Jackie.
Don't you look stunning.
Jackie, may I ask, what is that
that fragrance you're wearing?
What is that Oh, never mind.
I already know what it is.
You know, some things never change.
Can you two excuse me?
Oh. I am not done.
Oh, you look so great in that.
- So when you getting married?
- I don't fucking know!
Jay.
No, no, I got him. I got him.
I'll make sure he makes it home okay.
I'm sorry.
Overdosing on the strong ♪
Can't keep it out my mind ♪
Can I take you home? ♪
Can't you see that it's a vibe? ♪
Hey, young tender.
Hey, Marva.
Where you coming from?
Looking all nice for me.
My boy Erick's wedding.
And you did not invite me.
I keep telling you, I can do you right.
Marva. Marva. Okay.
Just like my pussy hair.
This is nothing but experience.
Oh, okay, Marva.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Oh.
- Experience.
Grab my other leg.
I'm good. I'm good. Yeah.
Now, you know, I've been
taking them yoga classes.
Look at this.
I'm all flexible and bendy.
Bendable and flexible.
Mmm!
I can see you right on top of me.
Whip my hair back and forth on it.
- Marva.
- Come on and teabag me.
I got it, Marva.
Bitch ain't never let
you teabag her, huh?
- No, Marva.
- Hmm.
Just do me one favor.
While you dreaming
about me, you stay woke.
Okay, Marva
Well, you have a good night.
All right, now.
You know I'm just a knock away.
Yes, I do know, Marva.
And, Jason, keep drinking
that pineapple juice.
That's what my pussy tastes like.
Ah. Okay.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
- [DOOR CLOSES]
I gotta move. My neighbors are crazy.
He Well, I know he
asleep. I know he asleep.
Well, that's why we
here to wake his ass up.
Yo, yo, yo, wake your butt up.
Hey, wake up.
- Come on.
- Move.
Yo, Erick is going to kick your
ass for cussing at his wife.
Man, I already texted him apologizing.
Look, I don't know what
got into me tonight.
I think it's like the
pressures of seeing Carmen,
the wedding, not being
settled down, you know.
Right, so we're just
gonna ignore the fact
that you drink the whole bar out.
Okay. All right. Listen.
It's so refreshing to see a man
go through what women go through.
No, no, no. Whoa. Whoa. We don't.
Okay, that's just Jason
being a man with sensitivity.
- Okay.
- You get it.
Nah, man, I just got to
pull my shit together.
- Yes, you do.
- Yes.
Anyway, I saw Carmen.
And are you gonna try
and make it work out?
I'm sorry, did you not see that
big rock on her finger tonight?
Yes, I did. And so what?
I am a woman, and I know
when a woman is still in love.
You got a chance.
Well, I'm not trying to get Carmen back.
Think I'm gonna find
the right one, you know?
Tired of being the single
one out of the crew with you.
- Ooh.
- LACY: Ohh!
Stuck with me. We
always have a bomb time.
- So don't do that.
- You know what I mean.
- I'm just saying.
- BRYAN: Hey, look.
Don't even worry about it, okay?
Because we about to be on
the hunt out in these streets.
Your boy got you. Hmm?
A hunt? You're trite.
First off, I'm not
even talking about me.
Okay, I'm talking about my man Jay.
I'm good. Hey, we know I'm good.
LACY: Jason, I got you.
I'm really your friend.
I'm going to introduce you to
one of my friends in my phone.
Like, I got mad friends in my phone.
Nope, nope, nope. Your
credibility is shot.
You brought that busted
chick over to me tonight.
You know better than that.
Natalie is beautiful inside and out.
- She's not ugly.
- [CELLPHONE RINGING]
You don't know. You
have horrible taste. Ha!
- Yeah, horrible taste.
- BRYAN: Wow.
LACY: I saw the last girl.
I saw her shoes, okay?
- Hey, Mom.
- PATRICIA: Boy, have you
- lost your mind?!
- LACY: Let's talk about that.
- See?
- What?
- She's beautiful.
- Is that who just text you?
- Yeah.
- PATRICIA: Answer the phone!
- Yeah.
- Let me show you what's nice.
- Please.
- Okay, boom. Jay.
That's That's a ho.
- What? What about this one?
- That's a ho.
- What?

- No, that's not.
Those are hos for Christmas.
Oh, my I just showed

You don't have a picture of my mother.
Dude. What?
I got a picture of your daddy.
