Hot Date (2017) s01e01 Episode Script

1 ANNOUNCER: A Pop Original Series MURPH: Wow, new apartment's really comin' together.
I mean, pretty much.
EMILY: Murph, I finished building the bed.
Do you wanna help me break it in? MURPH: Yes, please.
EMILY: Be gentle.
I didn't follow the instructions and there's a lot of screws left over.
MURPH: Oh.
- Is this new? - EMILY: Old actually.
- MURPH: Like vintage? - EMILY: Like I got it five years ago.
MURPH: We weren't together five years ago.
EMILY: My boyfriend at the time got it for me.
MURPH: (GASP) You're seducing me in another man's lingerie? EMILY: First off, it's my lingerie, and second off, what do you want me to do? Burn my underwear every time I break up with a guy? MURPH: Yeah.
EMILY: Okay, well I don't really see the big deal 'cause I washed it.
MURPH: Ugh.
What did you wash off it? EMILY: Look, lingerie is expensive.
Okay? I wear it twice a year for like two minutes.
Do you realize the cost per use ratio on that? I'm passing it down to my grandkids.
MURPH: You don't see me using any of my ex's stuff.
EMILY: We literally use your ex's Netflix account.
MURPH: Okay, well the moment your lingerie can play all three seasons of Hemlock Grove, we'll talk.
EMILY: I don't understand what the problem is.
I have a whole box of stuff from exes.
- MURPH: I thought that was an Xbox.
- EMILY: No, sorry.
There is a PlayStation in there.
It was my ex Danny's.
MURPH: Well, I refuse to hook it up.
How could you move in with me when you're clearly clinging to your past? EMILY: You're the one clinging to my past.
MURPH: Who is this jerk and why did you go to prom with him? EMILY: His name is Trevor, and we barely got to second base.
You realize you're jealous of a fourteen year old boy right now? MURPH: You realize you're keeping a picture - of a kid who touched your boobs? - EMILY: Fine.
If you really wanna burn this teensy-weensy little box of random mementos from my life to soothe your fragile ego, be my guest.
MURPH: Okay.
[PFFFT.]
Huh.
That didn't work like it does in tv shows.
EMILY: I'm not clinging to the past.
I'm cherishing the memories.
MURPH: Of Trevor's clammy hands struggling to unclasp your bra.
EMILY: Anyways, maybe a little jealousy is a good thing, ya know? Some fire, some passion.
Otherwise, we'd be like that couple.
SETH: Great work.
BETH: It is so nice to support authentic urban art.
SETH: Ah, the Shady Monk Tavern.
Shall we go inside and split a daiquiri for old time's sake? BETH: I dunno, Seth.
The twins have a flute recital tomorrow, and I haven't even started the finger sandwiches.
So, tomorrow is slammed for me.
- COOPER: Seth? - Beth? What's up you dirty dongs? I haven't seen you guys since you moved up to the 'burbs.
SETH: Cooper from undergrad.
- Well met, old friend.
- Wow.
Blast from the past.
COOPER: What kinda trouble you sick bastards gettin' into tonight, huh? - BETH: Trouble? - COOPER: You hittin' the bottle? You guys gonna get nasty in the bathroom? - We used to party so hard.
- BETH: Yeah.
So, actually we're gonna be hittin' the 9:00 train home, and if we get nasty, it's gonna be after we tuck in our two beautiful twin daughters.
- They play the flute.
- COOPER: That's lame.
- BETH: What? - COOPER: Listen if you guys do decide to nut up, I am throwin' a rager tonight at my loft.
- See you there? - BETH: Okay.
- SETH: Beth, have we gotten lame? - BETH: Of course not, Seth.
Don't you remember that dinner party we threw, and I added little pickles to the charcuterie Yes, Seth, I believe we have gotten lame.
SETH: Ya know what? To heck with the 9:00 train.
We've got a sitter.
Let's get wild tonight - undergrad wild.
- BETH: Undergrad? SETH: Nevermind, it's mildly crowded.
Come, Beth.
BETH: Seth, you know your wife has never had a hard time getting a bartender's attention.
- SETH: Oh my.
- BETH: Hat's off.
BARTENDER: Can I help you? - BAR PATRON: Beer and a shot of whiskey please.
- BETH: Oh.
- BARTENDER: And you? - BETH: Okay, so we would absolutely - BAR PATRON: Shot of whiskey and a beer.
- BETH: love.
Okay.
Scusi! Perdon, do you do half karafs? I'm gonna take that to be a no.
Right here, right in front of you Woman who you keep missing.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Take my purse.
Listen up you ragamuffin, I have been here longer than any of these people.
I used to dance on this bar.
I used to get nasty in that bathroom.
I have gotten into a few scrapes with a few fellas, and I am not afraid to add a few more.
BARTENDER: I'm sorry, what can I get you? BETH: We would love to see a wine list.
BARTENDER: We have whiskey and we have beer.
BETH: Oh, okay.
Water's good then, thanks.
- Just two waters.
- SETH: No ice for this guy.
BETH: Yes, it hurts his tummy.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
MURPH: How was it? - EMILY: How was the bathroom? - MURPH: Yep.
EMILY: Really good, actually.
The sink had a bunch of seashells on it.
- I felt like The Little Mermaid.
- MURPH: I read your phone - and saw that you were texting your ex.
- EMILY: Oh my god.
MURPH: I know, right? You texting your ex and not telling me about it? "Happy birthday, dude.
" - Flirtatious.
- EMILY: First off, you think I'm cheating on you with a guy I call dude? MURPH: I see you're also following this so-called dude on Instagram.
EMILY: This is an egregious breech of privacy.
- MURPH: And you liked one of his picture.
- EMILY: Yeah, well I liked that photo because it's a picture of his dog, - and I like his dog.
- MURPH: You must like his dog quite a bit because his dog has his own account, which you are also following.
EMILY: Aww, look at that good boy playing at the beach.
MURPH: I don't see a dog playing on the beach, I see a woman obsessed with the past.
EMILY: Okay, well I can be friends with an ex if the breakup was mutual.
MURPH: Mutual breakups are a lie perpetuated by dumpers - so they don't have to feel bad.
- EMILY: Typical dumpee.
Fine, ya know what? We'll compromise.
I can keep following the dog, but I will unfollow a couple other random exes that I don't need in my life anyways like this schmuck who just had a baby that looks weirdly like John Malkovich, and his wife is so buff for having just given birth because She's a pro wrestler.
- Oh my god, I need to follow her.
- MURPH: Emily! EMILY: I'm sorry! Exes are fascinating.
MURPH: Fine.
If you won't budge - then I'll look up my exes.
- EMILY: Good.
- I think you should.
- MURPH: Okay.
My ex Bridget just posted a picture at a bar down the street.
Maybe I'll comment and see if she wants to meet up.
EMILY: Yeah, you should.
I think it sounds like a fine idea.
- MURPH: It is a fine idea.
- EMILY: I am perfectly fine with that.
MURPH: I mean, realistically, she's not gonna respond - to an Instagram comment while she's out.
- EMILY: Definitely not.
MURPH: I'm just gonna stop by and say hello.
EMILY: Okay, well have fun with your friend! MURPH: She's my ex, not my friend.
CHIP: Welcome back to the Bachelorette Rebound.
Tonight Amy will decide which of these lucky contestants she'll sleep with for two weeks then ghost because she still has feelings for her ex, but first, Amy must decide which of these suitors she'll keep around on this emotional rollercoaster.
Have you made your choice? AMY: I have, Chip.
Lorn, we've been friends for ten years.
You helped me move into my first apartment and comforted me when my mom was sick, now I'm considering throwing that all away by hooking up with you.
LORN: I actually don't care about our friendship.
I've been trying to sleep with you for the past ten years.
AMY: Convenient.
Will you let me string you along while I sort out my shit.
LORN: I would love to ruin our relationship with sex.
CHIP: Another friendship ruined on the Bachelorette Rebound.
BRIDGET: She kept Lorn? - I hate Lorn.
- [PHONE DINGS.]
Wait, a twist? My ex just commented on my picture.
Bartender, can I get two shots? I have a friend coming.
MURPH: Hey Bridget, remember me? Sending that to Emily.
BRIDGET: Murph, of course.
I saw your comment.
I got us shots, but then I drank them.
So I, like, ordered two more, and then I drank them.
- MURPH: Are you here by yourself? - BRIDGET: No.
Could you imagine? Like, what a loser! Actually, I was, like, here with this guy and then we got into, like, this screaming fight and he left.
MURPH: I see not much has changed since we were dating.
BRIDGET: Would it be gross if I ate in front of you? - MURPH: Uh, no.
- BRIDGET: So, this isn't gross? MURPH: Let's try this again.
How are you, Bridget? I'm trying to reconnect with my past, and I thought that - maybe we could catch up.
- BRIDGET: I'm terrible.
All of my friends have boyfriends, if you can actually even call those bitches my friends.
- MURPH: You're still surrounded by drama.
- BRIDGET: It's like Actually though, if you can't handle me at my best, you don't deserve me at my worst.
I'm just like really glad that you're here.
- MURPH: Can we get a couple waters? - BRIDGET: Why? Am I getting you hot? - MURPH: Bridget, I'm dating someone.
- BRIDGET: Yeah, I know.
Like, me too, but he's, like, such a dick.
I just, like, hate guys.
MURPH: Well, maybe you need to slow down and take a little time for yourself.
BRIDGET: Wait, yes.
You are so right.
I need to stop doing all these [BLEEP.]
guys and start doing me.
MURPH: Yeah.
You know what? I'm actually glad I could offer you a little friendly advice.
BRIDGET: It's like really turning me on - that you're being nice to me.
- MURPH: Okay, that backfired.
- I told Emily this would be weird.
- BRIDGET: Why? - Is it because I'm ugly? - MURPH: No, no.
Not at - you look really good.
- BRIDGET: It's just like, actually, honest to god Murph, why would you contact an ex out of the blue - if you didn't wanna hook up.
- See, that's what I said! BRAD: Bridget, I wanted to apologize.
- Who's this guy? - BRIDGET: It's my ex, Brad.
I'm hanging out with my ex.
- BRAD: That's shady.
- MURPH: Thank you.
I was just having this conversation with my girlfriend and ah no, I'm agreeing with crazy people.
[PUNCH.]
BRAD: Sorry dude.
BRIDGET: Oh my god, that was hot.
Brad, wait.
Brad, wait.
BRAD: Stay away from me, Bridget.
BRIDGET: Brad, like, what do you even want here.
You say you don't wanna be my boyfriend and then you get all jealous.
BRAD: I just don't wanna get hurt again.
BRIDGET: I won't hurt you.
BRAD: That's what Marissa said.
She ended up cheating on me with some guy she met at a ren fair.
BRIDGET: That is, like, actually awful, but it is not your fault.
BRAD: Then why does it keep happening? It's like one minute everything's great, and then the next minute I'm catching her getting bent over a saddle rack by the stable boy.
BRIDGET: That was one girl, Brad.
- BRAD: That was a different girl.
- BRIDGET: Oh.
BRAD: Marissa did the green knight, Denise banged the stable boy, and Allison left me for a bard.
BRIDGET: So, you've had like several people cheat on you at ren fairs? BRAD: Aye.
BRIDGET: Oh my god.
Okay, how 'bout this? I promise, pro-mi-se, I will not cheat on you.
- BRAD: Not with the minstrel? - BRIDGET: No.
BRAD: Or the falcon? BRIDGET: No.
BRAD: What about the guy who carves gargoyles and says "Hey Nonny Nonny" and believes in dragons? BRIDGET: Look, Brad.
You need to stop living in the past, like the 1400s.
Like, you need to stop going to ren fairs.
BRAD: I can't.
Have you ever paid $15 to be knighted by a guy pretending to be the king? BRIDGET: Of course I haven't that sounds [BLEEP.]
ing stupid.
BRAD: It's an honor, and if I have to choose between a relationship and the ren life - BRIDGET: Oh god there's even more of it.
- BRAD: I've gotta live that ren life.
BRIDGET: You know what? I, like, really wanted this to work out because I thought it was, like, super hot when you punched my ex, but now that I know you're a friggin' dork, I'm like kinda fine with this.
So, boy, bye.
EMILY: Look.
My boyfriend is hanging out with his ex.
They're friends.
It's healthy.
Ya know, we're healthy like that.
His exes are like not a big deal, ya know? I might text my own ex.
'Cause that's healthy.
- [CLICKING.]

EMILY: Is it cool if I have a panic attack in your bathroom.
BARTENDER: Sure, but someone's been in there for like 10 minutes already.
BETH: Seth, look, they still have the seashell sink.
Oh, and this mirror.
Hello, old friend.
I've been pushed up against this on more than one occasion.
SETH: Well, I can't drink on account of my sour tummy, but I can still publicly fornicate.

You've been thinking about this for minutes now.
Have you come to a conclusion? AMY: I have.

- Like marijuana? - COOPER: Oh.
Hell yeah.
I got some weed.
I got vapes, drops, oils, lozenges.
I even got this foam that you just rub into your skin.

I'll try the computer cigarette.
COOPER: The Vaporhighzer 2.

The whole thing'll vibrate, and then the Kush is ready.
SETH: I'll try the foam.
BETH: There's that light, little vibration Oh my goddess.
SETH: It's all so clear.
BETH: We're not lame, - you are.

BETH: Oh that sounds good on the lumbar.
Let's get outta here.
I'm just gonna take this.

I mean, I have no reason not to trust you.
I was acting crazy.

EMILY: Still can't believe she didn't choose Jaden.
BRIDGET: Wait, like actually though, he was my favorite.
MURPH: Okay, can we all agree that this is weird?
