The Detour (2016) s01e02 Episode Script

1 Okay, you were going to a work conference and you were tacking on a family vacation.
- Yeah.
- But then you got fired, so your company canceled your plane tickets, and you and your wife decided to drive down to Fort Lauderdale.
We didn't actually decide that together because I didn't tell my wife I got fired.
Huh.
That seems odd.
Why not? She is the kind of person who craves stability.
It's it's important to her.
Oh, sure.
Is that why she let your 11-year-old son drive your minivan into a ditch and left you stranded here in rural Pennsylvania? - That was my idea.
- Yeah? How 'bout this? How'd you get fired? I messed up pretty bad, which is another reason I didn't tell my wife.
Great.
Tell me.
[Chuckles.]
Mmm.
So I got these for the Fort Liquor-Dale trip.
They're the good ones.
Korean.
Yeah, I hear they have really good batteries.
Oh, konnichiwa! Ay! [Imitating Japanese accent.]
Me vapor you rong time.
[Normal voice.]
Hey.
Supposed to laugh.
Otherwise, it sounds racist.
- [Forced laughter.]
- Gene.
Mean Gene.
- Mm.
- I know what you did.
[Door closes.]
- Oh, you do, do ya? - Mm-hmm.
Well, keep it quiet 'cause she's married.
Christ, I thought I fired you already.
Yeah, he fired me because I dared to care - about this company.
- No, I fired him because he's a reactionary knee-jerk hot head.
- Crudité? - Shut up, Paul.
Oh, shit.
Nate! You were a project manager, but this product is way above your pay grade.
Yeah, I have done the research, and that product is dangerous.
Why are you so concerned about a bunch of door knobs? Oh, that's what we call our customers now? Yeah, 'cause that's what they are.
No! They are human beings! They are children.
All right? They are fathers.
They are mothers.
I lost my son.
Oh, Christ.
I'm sorry.
- Is that why you're always crying? - Is it [Whimpers.]
- You are such a dipshit.
- No, it was one of those things where it got too late to ask, you know? Yeah.
I think I signed the card.
- It was Kevin, right? - [Crying.]
Bruce.
Bruce.
I'm sorry.
- Please, Gene - [Blows nose.]
If you take this product public, it will destroy the company, okay? And I know you guys don't care, sitting up here with your golden parachutes.
But for the rest of us, the regular people out there, we need this, Gene, okay? This is all we have.
- Are you gonna cry? - What? Are you gonna pull a Shelly? [Crying.]
Crying can be very healthy.
Mm-hmm.
- You are so totally gonna cry.
- I don't cry.
[Gunshot.]
Young male voice: Mama? Male voice: Your mother can't be with you anymore, Scambi.
Are you cryin'? If you're gonna feel sad about something, feel sad for that hunter.
It's winter! He's still gotta field dress the carcass.
Hands are freezing, making that breastplate to anus incision all jagged.
He's gonna ruin perfectly good meat.
So quit cryin'.
- Mama! - [Gunshot.]
[Mock crying.]
Now I gotta call my family and tell them they can't go to the beach.
- [Mock crying.]
- [Scattered laughs.]
[Exhales.]
You're fired, Nate.
[Mock crying.]
What an ass hickey.
[Loud hissing.]
Whoa! Son of bitch! It's electronic, you dipshit.
[Hissing resumes.]
[Grunts.]
Damn! Man: somewhere behind the mountains There is a place I figured out [Music warps, rewinds.]
Robin: Okay, listen, here we go.
Nate: All right.
This is happening.
It it I w-we put this off too long.
Okay, we can put it off a little longer.
I'm not sure this is the best place for this conversation.
Ugh.
She has an egg.
He has a seed.
Seed fertilizes the egg.
Nine months later baby.
How does the seed get into the egg? I don't know.
Mom? You didn't tell her the most important part? You neglected to tell him anything? - Because Toddy told him.
- Come on.
Driver's ed ain't just telling 'em not to crash.
It's teaching them to steer into the skid, - if you know what I mean.
- I don't At all.
I'd already know this if you'd just unlock my phone.
It's for your protection.
I told you that.
Okay.
Guys, here's the deal.
[Groans.]
So When a man and a woman decide they wanna make a baby, the couple kiss and hug, and there's lots of good feelings.
And the man gets very excited well, women get excited, too.
- Of course, the yes.
But the - very excited.
But the man gets physically aroused and he becomes erect.
- What's that mean? - We're talking about - getting your daddy's pistons pumpin'.
- We're talking about it.
Over here.
Our family.
When men get aroused, their, um Ding dongs? No.
If we're gonna do this, let's use correct terms, okay? Their penis.
It Grows bigger.
How big? Tell me when to stop.
Nate: No.
Stop.
- That's huge! - Well, it's not that big.
Yeah, thanks.
- So what do you do with it? - Well [sighs.]
Mm.
Uh, the man gently inserts his penis into the woman's vagina.
[High-pitched voice.]
Did he do that to you? - No, no, no, don't get upset.
- Oh, it's it's okay.
She wanted it done to her.
It's a very nice feeling.
- Sometimes.
- No What? No.
All the time.
No It's when a woman first tries it when she's much, much older, it hurts a little bit.
- Does it hurt for guys? - No.
Never.
Always feels great.
But once she gets used to it, it's lovely.
It's just a gentle fusion of of two bodies.
Slow, tender moves.
Up and down and around.
- Not around.
- It's what? - Not around.
- Around's a great move.
- It's not necessary, though.
- It's very necessary to stimulate the what does the girl do with her jumbos? Hey, come on.
Breasts.
They just they s-stay put.
There are some things that you can do that don't involve completely ignoring them.
Like what? Anyway, after about two, three minutes Of Of really good feelings - it's a lot longer than that.
- When the man is ready, or sometimes ready a little too early - Oh, come on.
Twice.
It happened twice.
- The woman accepts the daddy's seed, called semen.
- It's sperm.
- Sperm.
- What's that look like? - Like a white map of Hawaii.
- It's what Toddy says.
- No.
It's like - Mm.
Um [clicks tongue.]
- Like shampoo.
No, it's less thick.
It's like tahini sauce.
Sure.
Sure.
It's saltier, but yeah.
Wait.
How do you know what it tastes like? You don't eat it.
Do you? I do.
Some on special occasions.
- Birthdays.
- Do you eat hers? No, no.
Women don't have semen.
But rest assured, if they did, your father would go nowhere near it.
Well, thanks to a 3-week menstrual cycle oh, looks like your starter motor ain't gauging on the flywheel.
Sh guy! What is your deal with the car-based metaphors about how I can't sexually satisfy my wife? But I bet you could, huh, with your big old pipe wrench? Well, was just saying your starter motor cut the teeth off your flywheel.
- Huh.
- That's why your Van won't start.
- Mm-hmm.
- I could probably fix it, but it won't be ready till the mornin'.
- Okay.
- And I apologize if you thought I was being suggestive towards your wife, but, uh, I get off on the dipstick, if you know what I mean.
Are you sure you don't want to unlock this phone? 'Cause I got a whole new set of questions.

Okay, we don't need to run through the condiments.
- Nate, listen to yourself, come on.
- And we keep the cups upside down so you don't get dust in them, Miss Parkerjar.
All you have to do is give them a flip.
Listen to him.
He's telling you how cups work.
Why are you so angry? That's not like you.
No, don't make this about me.
Babe, know that I may seem a little bit "high" to you right now.
- "Yes.
" - But I see it, okay? Throughout this day and this night, - and the fact that you own it and that you're - [Speaks indistinctly.]
That you're holding on to it, it makes it so much better now than what it was then.
- That made no sense.
- [Speaking indistinctly.]
You're carrying this thing around, and it's so heavy.
And you don't have to do this alone, Nate.
Put a little bit of butter on that.
And we have some really, really amazing toast.
I don't know where it comes from.
Don't be an island, Nate.
Just swim to us.
We are so lucky to have you, and you are such a good dad.
But you gotta purge this thing that you're carrying around, or else it's gonna calcify in your chest, and it's gonna make it impossible for you to love us back, babe.
[Barney speaks indistinctly.]
That's it.
Just cry! Just cry, Nate.
Go ahead.
I'm not your mom.
That's what you need.
You just need a good cry.
[Crying.]
I'm not crying.
- Well, you are.
- I don't cry.
- Tissues, Mr.
Parkerjar? - I said I don't cry! - Hey, honey - [Sniffles.]

And you and [Sniffles, inhales deeply.]
But it's okay.
I got a plan.
I'm gonna talk to my C.
E.
O.
At the conference.
He's gonna make it right.
[Sniffles.]
I got this.
Okay? It's all under control.
[Continues crying.]
That was beautiful.
It was.
I just watched a single tear zigzag down your face like a waffle iron, which is really just a frying pan that hasn't been ironed yet.
[Chuckles.]
You're so high.
Our entire connection, sweetie, is in that tear.
But [Sighs.]
I'm gonna need you to repeat the words you said - 'cause I didn't hear 'em.
- What? Like like All of them? [Sniffles.]
Like, every one I said? Babe? Babe? Babe? So I just wanna double-check I'm not getting laid tonight? Get the [Bleep.]
out of my room, Barney.
[Crunches.]
I want you guys to know, if you ever have any questions about anything, you can come to your mom and I, right? - We're gonna tell you.
- Both: Mm-hmm.
But there's a lot of things we don't know, and you guys deserve to know if you're curious about them.
Mm-hmm.
- So with that said Did you unlock our phones? - Yeah.
- Awesome! I'm not sure the Internet's the best place to find out, - but I trust you guys.
- [Touchscreen clicking.]
Thanks.
[Clicking continues.]
Our kids are the best.
Yeah.
[Man and woman moaning.]
Man: I'm close! I'm close! Turn over.
Turn over.
[Both grunting and groaning.]
There is no way that puddle is getting to the egg from her back tattoo.
[Man moans loudly.]
Excuse me? Ma'am, excuse me? Uh, forgot my toothbrush.
Do you guys have an extra one? [Muzak playing.]
Oh, you do? Great.
Can I, uh, can I get one? Like Now? [Exhales.]
Oh, my god.
I'm so sorry.
It's marijuana.
- I can smell.
- It's just, I've had a stressful day.
I know.
Got a glaucoma problem, and Barney's driving me Relax.
All right? This actually explains a lot now that I know you were just high.
Oh.
Well, you probably thought I was stupid, huh? [Laughs.]
I know your name, Mr.
Parkerjer Jr.
[Both laughing.]
[Coughs.]
You still don't.
You know, Tammy [Exhales.]
Some people just can't handle [Puffs.]
Real drugs.
[Coughing.]
I am so goddamn high.
New pot is so much higher than old pot.
I should call my mom.
You know what I mean? - [Telephone rings, machine beeps.]
- [Groans.]
Nate: Hey, Mom.
Hey, it's me.
Can you pick up? - I know you're there, please.
Mother.
- Oh, shit.
I've got something very important I want to tell you, okay? [Machine beeps, lighter clicks.]
I had an emotional breakthrough tonight, okay? I-I can be an emotional wreck, and that's okay, you know? It it's not a judgment on my manhood.
- [Machine beeps.]
- You know what? I got fired today.
And I actually told Robin, and she was fine with it.
Granted, she didn't hear most of it.
But I'm gonna tell her again.
And you know what? - She's gonna love me even more for it.
- [Machine beeps.]
I lied to my wife, okay? I lied to her! Do you know why, Mother? Because of you.
Every single terrible behavioral trait I have [Glasses clink.]
Is because of you.
- [Beep.]
- I don't know.
Maybe I shouldn't tell her.
I mean, you always say men are supposed to be the providers.
[Exhaling slowly.]
You know, like Barney.
Guy's a provider.
And I got a plan to get my job back.
So it's not like I ever even had lost it, you know? So why tell her? [Beep.]
You're right.
She doesn't need to know.
I-I'm just gonna fix it.
- I-I love you, Mom.
- [Exhales slowly.]
I think this has been our best talk in years.
Bye.
I love you.
[Touchscreen clicks.]
