Tell Me Lies (2022) s01e03 Episode Script
We Don't Touch, We Collide

- What?
- Your heart is beating really fast.
Are you sure you don't want me to come?
LUCY: It's going to be
more like a college reunion
than an actual engagement party.
Can I tell you something sort of secret?
- Sorry.
- No.
Do you wanna come out? I'll be
the boring designated driver
Yeah, I think I'm just
going to stay in tonight.
I can't imagine what I would do
right now if you were wearing a skirt.
[MOANING]
Fuck.
ALLIE: Oh, that's Stephen's girlfriend.
EVAN: Ex-girlfriend.
This other car came out of nowhere.
I swerved at the last
minute, and so did they.
I didn't know it was Macy.
Nobody knows what you just told me
except for us.
MAN: You got stage fright, kid?
I'm good.
Long as you didn't swallow,
smoke, snort, or shoot anything,
you got nothing to worry about.
I'm not. I'm not worried.
MAN: Then do me a favor.
Don't be like your
teammates. Try and aim.

- DOCTOR: How'd that rest plan go this week?
- It was great.
DOCTOR: How many days
you sit out of practice?
Oh, you know none.
DOCTOR: You're going to
fuck up your knee long-term
if you don't take this seriously.
After this game, I swear.
Let's at least make sure
you're comfortable then.
We'll do another cortisone
shot and wrap it up.
Yeah. Yep. Sounds good.

Um, I've never seen you
open a book this early.
Midterms sort of snuck
up on me this year, so.
You're so serious when you study.
You're like [GROWLS]
What am I supposed to do?
I don't know.
If you just, like, don't study.
No, no, no, no, no.
God. Stop, stop, stop.
WRIGLEY: Oh God.
Okay, get off me. I can't breathe.
WRIGLEY: I can't move. I'm asleep.
PIPPA: [LAUGHING] Stop.
[MOANING]
Oh.
[BOTH MOANING]
You feel so good.
[BOTH MOANING]
[PANTING]
I wish I could fuck you all day.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Oh shit.
Shit, I'm going to be late for class.
You're actually going to class?
Yes. Attendance is 20
percent of my grade.
A rule follower. I had no idea.
Yeah. Well, there's a lot
you don't know about me.
I know what you taste like.
I like making you uncomfortable.
I'm not uncomfortable.
[BOTH LAUGH]
NELLIE: No offense to Lucy,
but I couldn't really
get into the story.
I know we were supposed to be
rooting for the Liz character,
but I actually found myself
rooting for Parker instead.
MARCUS: Same. She was so cold to him.
It didn't feel realistic.
Well, Parker represents
everything in Liz's life
that was suffocating her.
But still, nobody acts like
that unless they're a sociopath.
[LAUGHTER]
Hm.
Lucy. What do you say to that?
I don't know. I guess I would say
it sounds more like a criticism
of the character than
of my actual writing.
MARCUS: Except that
she's your protagonist.
And a part of writing is making
the reader care what happens to her.
Well, I don't think Liz
intentionally shut off her feelings.
NELLIE: I just couldn't
really connect with her.
MARCUS: Yeah. What am I
supposed to feel at the end?
I can't figure out the takeaway.
NELLIE: She just seems,
like, really mean.
It seems like she
doesn't have any feelings,
and I'm not sure how I'm supposed
to care about someone like that.
PROFESSOR: Lucy?
Yeah.
Any other thoughts to share?
No. No. Thank you.
All right.

Hey!
Okay, okay, okay.
Hello?
You look like shit. Are you sick?
Just tired.
You forget how to answer
your phone, asshole?
- Sorry.
- Hey.
Remember what Stephen said?
This only goes away if you let it.
It's never going to go away.
What's that mean?
Ah, it's nothing.
I'm fine. It's fine.
I got class.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, hold on.
You're coming out with me tomorrow.
I don't know. Maybe.
Yes, you are. You're coming.
Why does this matter?
Because you're really depressing

I don't like it.
Okay. Fine, I-I'll come.
Good. Okay. We'll have fun.
PROFESSOR SCHULTZ: I'm
posting your grades tonight.
Three of you achieved a perfect score.
Diana Linder.
Adam Rogers.
And Stephen DeMarco.
Congratulations.
Oh, and one more thing.
I am looking for a research assistant.
You will be credited, and the
job will go until next summer.
If you are interested,
pick up an application on your way out.
You are all dismissed. Thank you
and good luck on your midterms.
Thank you.
[STUDENTS CHATTERING]
Mr. DeMarco?
Will I have a better chance
if I don't put my name on this?
Please put your name on it.
Wrigley. Come in and take a seat.
Solid game.
You guys really turned it around.
All right, you know the drill.
Give me three good things.
Let's go.
Just say whatever comes to your head.
Uh, I got a cortisone shot in my knee.
That's a good thing?
Helps the pain.
Okay, that's one. Give me two.
Uh, Coach said I'm up
for captain next year.
I heard. That's gotta feel good.
Yeah. Yeah, it feels good.
All right, last one.
Uh
I'm kind of seeing this girl, I guess.
You guess? You're not sure?
No, I'm sure.
[LAUGHS] I'm seeing
this girl, and I'm sure.
That's three. Good for you.
All right. Let's talk
about the midterms.
How's studying going?
Any movement on what we talked about?
I feel, I feel good.
Not what I asked.
I No.
- I didn't do it, no.
- You got to work with me on this.
Really don't think this is an issue.
Your professors seem to think it is.
They've been keeping me
updated on your performance.
Wrigley.
You have a learning disability.
There is no reason you
should be doing midterms
without extended testing time.
So please go register
at the disability office
so you can have extra
time on your exams.
It's not that hard. What's the problem?
No problem. No problem.
Then get it done.
Sitting out because of
an injury is one thing.
Sitting out because you failed the test.
What's everyone going
to think about that?
EVAN: Dude, he's dead.
- I disagree.
- EVAN: It cut to black.
The guy in the Members
Only jacket shot him.
Exactly. It cut to black. So we
don't actually know what happened.
He could be dead. Could be alive.
He's both. It's Schrödinger's cat.
- EVAN: What?
- Whose cat?
It's a thought experiment
about quantum physics.
EVAN: Fuck quantum physics, all right?
Tony Soprano was fucking dead.
- STEPHEN: Disagree.
- EVAN: Oh my God.
Wrigley, please talk
some sense into this man.
- You guys took Econ 101, right?
- STEPHEN: Yeah.
Any chance you can help me study later?
Can't. I got to finish this paper.
I have an application to finish.
Plus, I don't have the 12
hours that it's going to take
to get you through the fucking material.
Watching Wrigley try to read,
it's like watching someone take
their first shit after surgery.
[LAUGHTER]
Sorry.
Whatever, man.
EVAN: All right. Got to go, guys.
Yo.
You all right?
I'm good.
Something with Drew? You need my help?
No, man. Everything's good. Thanks.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- You are not going to believe this.
- Pippa, stop.
- What. You should be proud of this.
[LAUGHS]
- Okay. Are you ready?
- Uh-huh?
Oh. Holy shit, what happened to you?
It's nothing. Something just
irritated my skin, I think.
Uh, looks like a bear
tried to claw your tits off.
BREE: Are you okay?
I've got some cortisone cream
in our room if you want some.
No, I'm fine. What, what
were you going to tell me?
Okay. Our little Bree-Bree,
our beautiful, innocent little virgin
is going to be a nude model.
For art class.
I've done it before. It's decent money.
Yeah, it's just, like,
a weird job. [LAUGHTER]
Says someone who's never had a job.
At my first high school, um,
our principal's wife was our model,
and it was so fucking awkward.
First high school?
You had more than one?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Um,
I transferred senior year.
I can use this, right?
You did? Why?
Uh, my school didn't
offer enough AP classes,
so I transferred.
Must suck, transferring senior year.
It was fine.
So, um, what are we
wearing to that whole
neon jungle party thing tomorrow?
I think that's for upperclassmen.
Yeah. Wrigley invited me.
Aren't you going with Stephen?
No, he didn't mention it to me.
Oh. Well, I'm sure I can
get you guys an invite.
It's fine. Go. Go with
your famous boyfriend.
He's not my boyfriend.
You're with him every night?
Yeah, because he gives me
the best orgasms of my life.
So you said.
I'm just having fun.
Anyway. That's it. That's
the news. Now you know.
Read it and weep. Bye!
Okay, bye.

To pee so I don't get a UTI.
Have you seen my hair tie?
Yeah.
Here.
It's not mine.
What do you mean?
I mean, it's not my hair tie.
Uh, okay. Some other girl
probably left it here.
Allie or someone.
What, was it Allie or was it someone?
Why are you being weird right now?
- I'm not being weird.
- You are.
No, I'm not.
[SINGSONG] It's a hair tie.
I'm not, I'm not
sleeping with anyone else.
Neither am I.
Okay. Sorry, I got confused.
It wouldn't bother
me if you did, though.
It wouldn't.
- Hmm.
- It wouldn't?
It's your freshman year. I know
you just got out of a relationship.
You should be having fun. I
wouldn't want to ruin that.
You're not.
You're so independent.
That's why I'm attracted to

No.
Not right now.

Why do you think I keep doing it?
No. I mean, yeah, I'm,

Are you sure I should
go to this party tonight?
I'm going to be the only freshman there.
What? Yeah. You're going to be with me.
And Drew's going to be
there. He's a freshman.
Can I ask you a question about Drew?
Yeah. What's up?
Did you ever ask him
why he bailed on Bree
during Welcome Week?
Uh
He's having a really hard
time adjusting to school.
But that was like before school started.
Like, one night, he's
making out with her,
and then the next night
he's just like totally not
Yeah, that's Drew's business, honestly.
And Bree shouldn't
take it that personally.
It's not like they fucked.
Okay.

[DOOR CLOSES]
So where did you guys
decide to go out tonight?
We're going to George's.
Test out our new fakes.
Oh, what? No. No.
Dammit, I'm jealous.
Come with us.
Um, yeah, I'm not going to
miss the neon jungle party.
It's going to be sick.
I just mean Wrigley begged me to go.
Otherwise, I would definitely
go out with you guys.
Okay. There.
Hey, did Wrigley say anything about
Stephen going to the party tonight?
No, he didn't mention anything,
but I'm sure he's not going.
Otherwise, he definitely
would have invited you.
Honestly, I don't even know why I care.
Because you like him.
It's okay.
Just maybe try being honest with him.
What? No.
Worst advice ever.
Why?
Of course, somewhere inside,
maybe you care about him,
but other people don't
need to know that.
And he definitely
doesn't need to know that.
This goes for all guys.
The second they know you give a shit,
your stock goes down, like, 30 percent.
That's ridiculous. You sound ridiculous.
Okay, look, I know Wrigley's
still texting other girls,
but I'm in his bed every
night, and you know why?
Because unlike them, I act
like I don't give a shit.
Isn't that exhausting?
It is, but that's just the way it goes.
No, you're right. You're right.
I need to not care.
I need to not care.
Yes. Okay. Good.
- I don't give a fuck.
- Exactly.
No fucks, actually.
- No fucks?
- No fucks.
- Bree?
- I didn't even give a fuck to begin with.
- So there you go.

Yeah, I'm just stressed with midterms.
I don't get them that often, so
Can you not tell Pippa about it, though?
I just feel like she doesn't
She wouldn't get it.
Are you implying
that Pippa can be insensitive?
What? No.
[LAUGHS]
I just feel like she,
sometimes, she doesn't
have anything serious
to worry about.
Right. Except all of those orgasms.
Yeah, except all of the orgasm.
- Those many, many orgasms.
- So many.
Shit. Sorry. That was mean.
I'm not trying to shit talk.
No, it's okay to shit
talk a little sometimes.
Just a little bit.

there the night Macy died.
What, what are you What
do you mean he was there?
Uh, he was he, he, he was in his car,

And I guess Macy came around the corner,
and they, and, and they both swerved out

he should have gotten help.
