Tell Me Lies (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

Is it making me look too, like
Like a person wearing a low-cut top,
but who's actually still a virgin?
Honestly, like,
I'm just so ready to lose it.
What about that guy Tim?
It's Tim's if he wants it.
I wish I could fuck you all day.
Shit. I'm gonna be late for class.
Our little Bree-Bree is going
to be a nude model.
For art class.
I'm not sleeping with anyone else.
- Neither am I.
- Okay.
It wouldn't bother me
if you did, though.
You have a really nice smile.
You have a boyfriend?
No, I don't.
I was going to go on the pill.
You don't have to worry.
You are the only person
who I would use a condom with.
Everything's my fault.
I can't stop thinking about it.
What the fuck was all of that about?
Drew was there the night Macy died.
This is my little brother
we're talking about, alright.
You cannot tell anyone.
- Oh my god, you're adorable.
- Oh my god.
I'm not trying
to give mixed signals tonight.
- Yes.
- Signal is very clear.
You're very much a sure thing.
Yeah. Tim is going to die
when he sees you.
I still think you should just
come with us.
It's a couples party.
So make Stephen come.
Mm-hmm.
Stephen hates frat parties,
and he has his big interview tomorrow.
But you want to go,
so he should just go with you.
You went on the pill so he could
fuck you without a condom.
It's the least he can do.
We're going to hang at his. It's fine.
Okay.
- Wrigley!
- Pippa!
- Hey, guys.
- How long do we stay handcuffed?
Until we both finish a bottle.
Bree, who's your date?
- Tim.
- That's nice.
I want a cigarette.
- Another one?
- Yeah.
You look amazing.
Thank you.
How do we get this off?
- It's cool. I'll take them off later.
- Okay.
Come on.
- Fuck.
- It's
- Okay.
- Just fuck it.
Okay.
Let me grab a condom.
Oh yes.
Come on. Yes.
- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- You sure?
Yes.
Whew.
What time's your train?
It's at noon.
But I have to run through
some case studies before I go.
Explain to me
how this internship is paid.
I thought the whole point
of it being unpaid
is to prove you really want it.
Uh, a lot of internships are paid.
Not everyone can afford
the unpaid ones, you know.
- You're going to get it.
- Uh-huh.
And after my India trip this summer,
I can come visit you in the city.
I'm sure I'll be up
against some partners' sons.
That's usually the
deal with these things.
Well, I'm sure none of them
have prepped as hard as you have.
And they'll just be
boring trust fund kids
wearing pastel pants.
Unfortunately, boring trust fund kids
with pastel pants,
they often do very well.
- Yeah?
- In this country.
Well, you're going to be
the smartest guy there.
You're so fucking sexy.
You're a liability.
Quit distracting me.
- Get dressed.
- Fine.
Who are you staying with in the city?
Um
- Hey.
- Hey.
Yo.
Evan hooked me up
with his family's loft in Tribeca.
He's a hero.
I should get going.
Good luck.
- Call me after, okay.
- Of course.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye, Lucy.
- Bye.
- Seriously, dude.
- Hmm.
You couldn't come up with a better lie?
We don't even have a place in the city.
You got houses everywhere else, right?
I can't tell her I'm staying
at Diana's family spot. No way.
You know, sometimes I think
you just lie for the fun of it.
What?
No, I just, I'm-I'm never going
to get over the fact
that you're taking
an introduction to drawing class.
What do you do in there? Draw fruit?
As a matter of fact,
I drew a pineapple last week.
How was it? Was it good?
No, it was terrible.
I can't draw for shit.
It's an easy credit though, so
Yeah.
You do the math,
probably costing
your parents at least five K.
I can't imagine what
my mom would say if I told her
I was spending her money
drawing fuckin' pineapples.
Well, you know, people go
to college for different reasons.
I'm just trying to figure out
what I want to do after graduation.
Junior year, though.
Isn't your dad, like,
a genius or something?
What about your dad?
Oh.
I fucking love that.
I love when you stoop to my level.
Alright, well,
the pineapples are waiting, so
Hey, for what it's worth,
you are my favorite multi-millionaire.
- You're obnoxious.
- But I've got a nice smile.
Yeah. Yeah.
- Have a good interview.
- Thank you, bro.
- Morning.
- Morning.
What were you just daydreaming about?
Uh, nothing. I'm just really hung over.
- Gotcha.
- Stephen left today, right?
Yeah. How did you know that?
Wrigley told me.
Did Wrigley say anything else
about Stephen?
- What do you mean?
- I don't know.
I'm just, I'm just trying
to get some intel.
I swear he hasn't said anything.
Okay.
Hi.
Hi!
Um, you disappeared last night.
What happened?
- Oh my god.
- No!
Yes!
Shh!
Okay. How was it?
It was
it was fine.
It was kind of funny.
- Oh.
- I don't know how else to describe it
but I mean, I'm sure it gets better.
I'm, like, excited to do it again.
Oh, so you didn't come?
What? Nobody comes their first time.
I did.
Orgasms are really easy for me.
What? They are.
So, are you going to see him again?
Well, he said he'd text me.
Cute.
Am I becoming promiscuous?
I love this.
Tim's so much hotter than Drew too.
Aren't you kind of happy
he ghosted you now?
Okay. Don't do that. Come on.
- Do what?
- He's Wrigley's brother? It's mean.
It was a joke.
And he was a dick to Bree.
Weeks ago.
We can get over it now.
Okay.
Sorry.
Alright.
- No.
- Oh wow.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Oh, hey, Bree.
How'd, uh, how'd your night end?
It was good. Thanks.
Good. Very good.
Tell Stephen he's a loser
for leaving Halloween weekend.
Who the fuck does that?
I know, but it's a big internship, so
That guy never slows down.
Personally, I blame Diana.
She encouraged the mania.
What do you mean?
Uh, nothing, I'm just joking.
I, I'm so fucking hung over.
- Yeah.
- You blame Diana for what?
I was I was just saying that,
you know, they're both like that.
They're both obsessed with work.
So when you put them together,
it's like the Clintons or something.
Is Diana like
an amazing student or something?
- Diana?
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah. She's, like, su-super driven.
But that's probably why
you're more fun for him, you know.
- It's less intense.
- Jesus Christ, Wrigley.
Lucy's really driven too.
Yes.
Yes. I'm sorry.
Yes.
That's not what I Don't listen to me.
Hi, Professor. Do you have a moment?
Sure.
I've noticed, uh, I keep getting
B-pluses on everything.
Is there something specific
I could be working on or
Your form is impressive,
but I think you'd agree you struggle
to push yourself to your full potential.
Your writing lacks
specificity sometimes.
You need to tap
into something more specific
and personal.
Okay. I will try harder.
I, I also, um, wanted to ask you
about your advanced
seminar next semester.
Well, that's very competitive.
I know, but I'd, I'd really like
to be considered for it,
you know, so I can push myself.
Like you said.
It's almost November.
May I ask you why
you're just inquiring about it now?
Um
I gue I guess I've
just been distracted.
And what specifically
has been distracting you?
I don't know if you know this, um,
but the girl who died
during Welcome Week,
Macy, she, she was my roommate.
And I'm usually a lot more focused.
That must have been awful.
I'm sorry, Lucy, I didn't know.
Look, let's see how the rest
of the semester goes.
I appreciate your openness,
and I think we can probably
figure something out.
Thanks.
Whenever you're ready, Bree.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm sitting in your
dad's office right now.
This place is crazy.
Don't go through any of this stuff.
Obviously. Hey, what's with
this weird painting in here?
He's obsessed with that thing.
Looks like a finger painting.
Okay. Please tell me he didn't spend
real money on that thing.
It's probably the most
expensive thing in the loft.
Really? It looks like
a preschooler did it.
You kind of have to know
about art to appreciate it.
Just don't touch it, okay.
Why would I touch it?
I don't know. I got to go.
But good luck tomorrow.
Just be yourself.
Until you really shouldn't be.
- You know what I mean.
- Okay.
Thanks.
Talk to you later. Bye.
We need to talk about it,
'cause it's a lot
I understand it's a lot, but I don't
I don't know what you want me to do.
I'm going to go to the dining hall.
I'm starving.
Are you coming?
I'll meet you there.
Hey. You okay?
It's just, like, a stupid fight.
You want to talk about it?
I'm fine. I should go catch up with him.
Stephen can be a dick sometimes, too.
And I actually felt really weird
We don't have to swap stories.
It's not really the same thing.
You and Stephen aren't even
Aren't even like what?
I just mean you guys
haven't put labels on things.
You don't have an obligation to him.
Obligation. That's a weird word to use.
Look, I told him I would meet him, so
Okay.
Oh yes!
Where are you today?
A bunch of us went to George's.
You smell like tequila.
It's fine, I'll just leave it on.
Oh fuck!
I'm gonna need you to get me going.
Okay.
Yeah.
- Is-is that is that okay?
- Yes. Just keep going for a second.
It's because I did blow.
Wait. Stop. Get up for a second.
Touch yourself.
- What?
- I want to see you touch yourself.
Oh yeah.
- Here, let me, let me
- No, I love it like this.
Give me a second.
Yeah.
Ohh, yes.
I
I think I'm a little sore.
Sorry. I'll go a little softer.
Okay?
Okay.
Wait, let me turn on my back.
- It's okay, I'm almost there.
- Okay.
Oh.
My mom is so funny.
If I ever sent her
an eight-pound box of candy,
she would consider it an assault.
Does she send care packages
for every holiday?
Uh, yeah, pretty much.
Such a waste of money.
I saw Tim last night.
And how was it?
I don't know.
I mean, he's definitely into me,
but I'm just trying to figure out
if I actually like him.
Oh, you're not sure yet?
When I first had sex with Stephen,
it was like
my body just knew.
Is it really different
than with your ex-boyfriend?
Yeah.
Completely. I wasn't like Pippa.
I wasn't having orgasms
all the time in high school.
With Stephen, it's just like,
I didn't even know
my body could feel that good.
So how was it with Tim?
So hot.
Trey?
Stephen?
Hi.
Follow me.
My, my bus driver still calls me
for legal advice.
You're funny.
The last candidate quoted me
his SAT scores within five minutes.
Oh god.
Shall we start your first case?
Yes. Please.
Drew?
I saw you so I wanted to say hi.
Hi.
Listen
I feel really bad about Welcome Week.
And I wanted to say that I'm sorry.
Oh.
Yeah. It was shitty of me.
Yeah. It really hurt my feelings.
I didn't mean to.
Okay.
Yeah. It's okay.
I'm not going to, like,
hook up with you now,
if that's what you think.
I, I didn't.
Good.
The first priority
is to keep the client happy.
So in my case, Professor.
The minute you know
you won't meet their expectations,
you have to change them.
So you have to make them think
that the new timeline was their idea.
So by the time I handed in that project,
my professor thought it was early.
- I think I had a similar professor.
- Where did you go?
- Cambridge.
- Mm-hmm.
It was great. I love England.
Everywhere in Europe, honestly.
Gosh, me too. Definitely.
Have you spent much time abroad?
Oh yeah, of course. Yeah.
Um, Europe's, Europe's amazing.
Where have you been?
All over really.
Uh, London. I went to Paris.
Um, Rome.
I rented a flat in the Marais
last summer.
Had the best time.
Yeah. Rome, every part.
Italy is just so, it's beautiful.
The Marais in Paris.
Mm-hmm. I know. No, I know.
I was just saying that I love
that Rome is beaut
Like, it's one of my favorite cities
in the world.
Um, but I
I do I love, I love Paris.
Paris is so it's the city of,
you know, City of Love.
Alright. Next question.
Yes.
The client is
a health insurance company.
You are a civil defense attorney
specializing in medical law.
Plastic surgeon is being accused
of botching a surgery,
but the plaintiff
is a self-professed addict
of plastic surgery.
How do you advise the client?
Are you the client?
The client is the client.
Sure. But in this scenario,
when I imagine the client,
am I picturing you?
Why does that matter?
I want to know how to talk to you.
The job is legal advice.
No, I know.
But isn't it also reading the room?
Uh, you know, don't you change the way
you are when you're with certain people?
I'm just saying
I, I think about people when I have
to tell them something.
So I look at them and I think about them
and I think about who they are
as people, you know.
And that, uh, helps.
It helps to figure out
kind of
how it helps.
Yeah.
I should just start quoting
my SAT scores to you.
That's fine. I think we're good.
Yeah.
It was 1540, for the record.
But let's be real.
I mean, one of the boss' kids
is probably going to get this, right?
You were hiring one of them
before I even walked in the room.
There's actually
a company policy against that.
When selecting interns,
we consider not only
who's the most qualified,
but who would benefit most
from the opportunity.
No, I don't.
- Oh my
- Yo, let's do shots.
Yes. I got to pee first.
Hey. Tim.
Yo, what up?
Is my mustache even?
- Yeah, looks good.
- Yeah. Looks good.
How was the bathroom?
It was a bathroom.
But how gross was it?
Was there toilet paper?
- Oh, no.
- Oh, wonderful.
Oh, wonderful. Wow, that's crazy.
You guys are being pretty lame.
We're not being lame. We're just tired.
Alright, let's go then.
- Woo-hoo.
- That's your solution? Cocaine?
Come on. Seriously?
Yeah. What, have you
never done blow before?
- No.
- Yeah. Of course I have.
Then you know that it's great.
Yeah, but I'm not in the mood tonight.
Well, that's the point. Once you do it,
you'll be in the mood for it.
Well, fuck it. I'll try it.
Follow the bird.
Okay.
I don't think I feel anything.
Really? I think I do.
You know. You've done it before, right?
Yeah.
No, I just mean like I'm waiting to see
how I feel before I do more.
- Right.
- Uh-huh.
Bree, how do you feel?
I think I love it.
You're in a good mood tonight.
Oh yeah. Great mood. The best mood ever.
- Come here, my Freud.
- Ohh.
What up? What up?
Hey, guys.
- Where's Evan?
- Oh, fuck him.
They're fighting.
Hi.
This pirate costume is so cute.
Oh, thanks.
I, I really like your tiara.
- Thanks.
- So cute.
I put it on myself.
Oh wow. You know how to do that.
Um, we're going to go get a drink.
Okay. Cool. I'm going
to hang here. So
Cool.
That was fucking weird, right?
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
Sorry. I'll, I'll be right back.
Were you not going
to talk to me tonight?
'Cause, I mean, I don't need you
to do anything, like, special,
but don't act like
I'm not even fucking here.
I can't believe you didn't tell me
you were a virgin.
Who told you that?
Wrigley told Cyclops.
I mean, putting that much pressure on me
without saying anything is fucked up.
Well, are you,
are you serious right now?
You tricked me
into taking your virginity.
It's too much responsibility.
I didn't trick you into anything.
I didn't give you
any kind of responsibility.
I didn't tell you
because it wasn't your business.
Whatever. I just don't think
we should hook up again.
Yeah. No shit.
Hey. How'd it go?
Great.
Any chance you want to come
to the city and celebrate?
I miss you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Too much room.
I don't know what to do with it.
These are the lowly servant's quarters.
Wow.
- Fancy.
- Mm-hmm.
You want a drink?
Yes.
So tell me everything.
It just went really, really well.
- Really?
- Yeah.
When do you find out if you get it?
Where do you want me?
Right here?
Is that too hard?
No.
You can go harder.
- Hello.
- Drew.
I'm outside your dorm.
Will you come downstairs?
What? What's wrong?
Come here.
I won't know what I did
if you don't tell me.
Why don't you ever go
to parties with me?
What?
Why don't you ever go
to parties with me?
We go to parties.
- We met at one
- No, I, I mean, together.
Like, we don't go anywhere where
you would actually know someone.
I take you on actual dates.
Do you not enjoy those?
They cost a lot of money.
I like those.
You're, you're missing the point.
I don't know why you have
to make it about money.
Because I don't have any.
My family doesn't have any money.
I don't have an allowance
like the rest of you guys.
Oh my god, you act like
I'm fucking loaded or something.
Have you ever been to Europe?
Yeah.
I haven't.
- Hey.
- I've never been on a plane.
But you've talked
about traveling before.
You've told stories.
Yeah, that's what they are.
They're stories to make
everyone else feel more comfortable
because people hear
that you're 20 years old,
you've never been on a fucking airplane,
and they think that's weird.
- No, they don't.
- Yeah, they do.
Well, I don't think it's weird,
and I don't even really know
what your point is right now.
My point is that
what I choose to spend my money on
means something.
And I choose to spend
my money on taking you
on dates off campus.
To make you feel special.
I'm sorry. I didn't
I didn't think about it that way.
Are you mad at me now?
I'm tired.
Please don't be mad at me.
I, I shouldn't have said anything.
- No, it's okay.
- I don't know why I said anything.
I'm being dramatic and
It's okay. Don't worry.
I'd say we can talk in my room,
but my roommate's in there.
This is fine.
What's up?
What did you want to talk about?
Are you attracted to me?
You were at one point.
Yeah. Yeah. No, I am.
Oh fuck!
Wait, wait, I thought you said
that we would
Do you want me to stop?
No.
Oh. Oh fuck.
Sorry. Shit.
- I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
- Um
- Um
- Hm.
- Uh
I, I thought you hated me.
No.
No.
Uh, Bree, something happened
during Welcome Week,
and I, I would tell you
if I could, but, um,
it wasn't because I, I didn't like you.
Okay?
Yeah. Okay.
What made you want to see me?
I don't know, I thought,
I thought it would make me feel better
about some stuff.
Did it?
Yeah, a little.
This isn't happening again, though.
Okay.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you feeling?
- Great.
I'm really sorry about last night.
That's okay.
I'm sorry if I, I overreacted.
Um, listen, Evan's
parents need the place.
I think you should
take the 10 a.m. train.
You can make it if you hurry.
Thank you, ma'am.
What you got there?
What, are you stalking me?
A guy draws you naked one time.
I'm actually just picking up
my mom's latest QVC finds.
Yeah, she's an addict.
Uh, thank you, by the way.
For what?
For drawing me naked
and not being a perv about it.
Yeah. You know, that's kind
of my thing. Very non pervy.
Well, that's good. Allie's very lucky.
Ah, well
we broke up, actually.
Shit. Sorry.
Oh, no, no. It needed to happen.
I guess college relationships
don't really matter
in the long term anyway, so.
Trust no one unless they have a moose.
Then steal the moose
and only trust the moose."
Who sent you that?
You know, reading
someone else's mail is felony.
So is stealing a moose.
Um. It's from my old foster sister.
She's a few years older than me,
and it's just something she does.
She sends me these postcards
with stupid jokes.
And I love them.
I didn't know you were a foster kid.
Yeah.
Is that something you like
to just keep to yourself?
No, I'm not, like, embarrassed about it.
I just never heard you talk
about it before.
Do your friends here know?
They never asked.
Sometimes, um,
I just want to feel so normal
that I'm almost boring.
Yeah.
I know what you mean.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Shit. Sorry. I thought Bree was here.
Figured you'd be at Wrigley's.
Yeah. Well, you know,
sometimes I sleep better alone.
Are we okay?
Do you still like me?
What, what do you mean?
Of course, I still like you.
I don't know, it just feels weird.
It feels like you've been
really weird with me lately.
I don't know why.
Come, come here.
Look, it doesn't have
anything to do with you.
Okay?
Like, I love you.
You're one of my best friends.
Really?
Yeah. Of course. Come on.
I'm sorry, I don't fucking know
what's happening to me.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, you guys okay?
I'm not really sure.
- What happened?
- I don't know. I really don't know.
I just feel, I just don't feel good.
I feel like
I don't know. I don't know.
- About what?
- Just shit with Stephen.
Like, I I'm being so stupid,
I don't even feel like myself.
I feel like I'm, I'm
actually going crazy.
Why? Why? What happened?
I feel like he's fucking other people.
But didn't didn't you guys
kind of agree that you could?
Yeah. Yeah. Apparently, we did.
I don't fucking know.
My god, I feel like I'm losing it.
I actually feel like I'm, I'm losing it.
- Hey.
- Like I'm going crazy.
You know you can do a lot better, right?
It's not like he has a magic penis.
How do you know it's not magic?
No, she's right, though.
Like, there are other people out there.
What about that guy
that we met in the alley?
Max.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I liked him.
Yeah.
He's cool. Okay. It's fine.
I'm, I'm good. Seriously.
Um, how, how are you doing?
Did you, did you go see Tim last night?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
I don't think I'm into him anymore.
I don't know, like, the sex is
eh.
Wow. Okay. Look at this virgin.
She has sex one time,
and she already has standards.
Hi.
What can I get you?
Um
just some water.
Fuck. You're one of those
demanding customers.
Hey, I'm sorry I flaked before.
School has been very crazy.
Hmm. School.
Um, but I was thinking,
you still want to grab dinner sometime?
Just nobody's fed me since you.
I'm honestly just getting
really fucking hungry.
Uh no, sorry.
I think that ship sailed.
Yeah.
I'm fucking with you.
Let's get dinner.
I'll get you that water.
I fucking blew it.
I, I misread the whole thing.
I crossed the line
without realizing it was there,
and then I couldn't fucking
find my way back.
Okay.
So you're not going
to get the internship.
You have to let it go
and move on to the next thing.
We'll make a list of other internships.
Yeah. I
I, I need to figure this out.
I know.
We will.
This is just a temporary setback.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hi.
What's going on?
I'm sorry we fought.
I'm sorry too.
