The Birch (2019) s01e05 Episode Script
She's Coming To Get Us
Ryan? Are you up yet? Ryan listen, I need you to go to the pharmacy for me before school.
So before you get going, can you just make a quick trip? Ryan, you up? Honey? Ryan? Help.
What? No.
So you look over here, find the same name.
Different number.
You like those? Yeah, those are expensive.
Yeah, of course you do 'cause you look like a goddamn king in them.
You know when you go out in the snow and the white hits you so you can't see? Boom.
Polarization.
- Those are the shades.
- Hey, buddy.
Get your ass in the car.
We're gonna be late.
I'm helping Uncle Seb with some bookkeeping.
Don't say "bookkeeping" like you know.
Get in the car now.
No, no, king.
You earned them.
I pay our way.
That was the deal.
What? I can't bond with my family? Gavin doesn't touch the business.
Now you might be dumb to this because your dad's in the can and your bitch of a mom chose boozing in Anchorage over teaching you how to wipe your ass.
But the bond of a family is a nice thing.
I'm a family man.
I share what I have with my family.
Even my business.
You're gonna be late.

- Yeah, that's King's Point though, huh? Church thing? Any halfway affordable boarding school is gonna have Jesus wrapped up in it somehow.
