The Dress Up Gang (2019) s01e05 Episode Script

1
- Hey, Cory.
- Hey, pal.
Oh, hey, Frankie.
Didn't know you were still here.
- Hey, Cory.
- Hey, Cory?
Can Frankie and I
have some of your benzo
- Benzodia
- Benzodiazepine?
- Well, what for?
- Well, Frank for fun,
and me for anxiety.
All right, but just one each.
Up-pup-pup-up.
So, this anxiety you're feeling,
does this have anything to do
with your big Valentine's
date tonight?
I really love this girl.
She's got me all twisted up.
- And she has really nice feet.
- God, shut up, Frank.
That's all you talk about,
is her feet.
That's all you talk about.
It's kind of weird.
Okay.
Frankie, would you mind
giving Donny and I a second,
please?
Sorry, Frank.
I didn't
Cory, can I get another
benzodiazepine, please?
Please?
Put your hands down.
Both of them.
Now, Sport, you've been
with lots of women,
and I've never
seen you like this.
What about this one's
got you so twisted up?
- She's got it going on.
- Oh.
- I see.
- Plus there's so much pressure
on Valentine's Day
to have the perfect date.
I just know I'm gonna blow it.
Hey, Cor?
Have you ever blown it?
Yeah.
Once.
Valentine's day, fifth grade.
I had the biggest crush on
Lillian Maholick.
Well, we were supposed
to go together
to see the movie, "Congo."
I was so nervous,
I forgot to reserve
my ticket in advance.
And by the time
I got down there,
they were already sold out.
"Congo" had been cross
promoting with Taco Bell,
so the line was wrapped
around the building.
So I went in front
of the movie theater.
Lillian bought her ticket
in advance,
so she was inside
watching the movie.
Well, when the movie got out,
there she was
Holding hands with James.
The cool Sri Lankan
foreign exchange student.
But, look, the point is,
stress is, uh
You know, uh
It's not good.
Here.
Don't tell Frank
I gave you this,
but just take one for the road.
And wash it down with
a little bit of that.
Coming up next on TBS,
"Congo."
Oh.
What are you guys doing?
We're watching "Congo."
Well, are you excited
for your big date, or what?
Oh, you got a date tonight?
What are you guys gonna do?
Oh, we're gonna go to dinner
and then go catch a movie.
A dinner and a movie.
Well, that sounds like a
perfect Valentine's Day to me.
Where'd you make
your reservations?
Oh, I didn't make
a reservation.
Figure I'll just pick her up
and see where she wants to go.
Y-You didn't make
a dinner reservation?
No.
You didn't make a dinner
reservation on Valentine's Day?
Every place is gonna be
all booked up.
There's not gonna be
a table in town.
No.
You're not gonna have
any place to eat.
No, you're just playing.
I ain't playing with you,
Sport.
Oh, no.
I blew it.
Well, look, what
What time does your movie start?
11:00.
Well, I'll tell you what.
Why don't you go pick up your
date and bring her back here?
You guys can hang out
until your movie starts.
And we can pause
"Congo" for you.
I know you like the part where
they shoot the monkeys
with the lasers.
Yeah, okay.
And Sport?
If you two get hungry,
I'm sure me and the guys can
whip up something for dinner.
Okay.
If you need me ♪
I'll always be around ♪
If you're down,
count on me ♪
For now ♪
The flavors change ♪
But seasons never do ♪
Hey, I'll do me ♪
And you do you ♪
The summer haze ♪
The jazzy blues ♪
What comes and goes,
my boy ♪
Goes much too soon ♪
Donny.
The movie starts
in five minutes.
I don't want to miss
the trailers.
Kate?
You blew it, Donny.
Could have had this.
Come on, James.
Donny, wake up.
Wake up, pal.
Pal, wake up.
Donny, wake up.
Hey, there you are.
Cory?
Frankie?
Kevin?
Fox.
Oh, my God.
What happened?
Well, remember those
anxiety pills I gave you?
Well, those were actually
sleeping pills.
I guess I got my
drug pockets mixed up.
Anyway,
I think it hit your system
as soon as you came
down the stairs,
and we started talking
about reservations,
and then you just passed out
in this chair.
Oh, my God.
I didn't make a reservation.
It's okay, pal.
We took care of it.
Yeah.
My homie pulled some strings.
We got you a table
at Little Dom's.
And I made a bouquet.
I thought you might wanna
give it to your date.
I gave you a shoulder
massage while you slept
so you won't be tense
for your date.
You were real tight.
Well, thanks, guys.
You know,
I really thought I blew it.
Donny, you didn't
blow anything.
You're just taking
Valentine's Day too seriously.
It's not supposed
to be about stress
and having the perfect night.
It's supposed to be about love.
Showing the world,
"Hey, I got something
not everybody's got."
And if you forget that, well,
you end up not getting to watch
a movie like "Congo"
and having your girl taken by
some cool Sri Lankan kid.
Hey, go get your lady.
And Sport?
If your table falls through,
you can always
bring her back here.
I'm sure me and the guys
could whip something up.
I'll keep that in mind.
- Hey, pal.
- Hey, Cory.
Up-pup-pup-up.
Come downstairs.
- Hmm?
- What's that behind your ear?
- What are you talking about?
- That ear.
Lift your hair.
Fold down your ear.
What's behind it?
My ear?
What the
- Is that a toothpick?
- Well, I just had
a chicken club with the guys.
- Mm-hmm.
- Whenever I take it out
of the sandwich,
I deal with it later,
so I just put it behind my ear.
I'll toss it away in the trash
upstairs in the bathroom.
Mmm. It's good.
- This new sriracha jerky's good.
- Good?
- It's the best.
- It's pretty bomb.
What's wrong?
Got some jerky
stuck in my teeth.
Don't even stress.
I got just what you need.
- Oh.
- You should probably
take one, too, Frankie.
Nah, Brent.
I'm good.
- You sure?
- I said I'm good.
Suit yourself.
You probably got all that
jerky out of your teeth
by now, right?
I did, but I'm liking
this new flavor, though.
That's tea tree oil.
It promotes gum health.
And it gives me the
confidence to eat more jerky.
All right, that's it.
I'm out of here.
- Later, Frank.
- Later.
What?
What's stuck up his tooth?
What's up? Is everybody here
for game night?
Donny, come on over.
Have a seat.
What are you doing over here,
Dr. Demarsh?
Well, I'm here because, uh,
your friends asked me
to be here.
Just seems that your
relationship to toothpicks
is affecting your relationship
to those closest to you.
Okay.
I get it.
It's actually a good call.
Thanks for coming by.
It does mean a lot.
Oh, so we're good.
He's manipulating us.
I told you this
wasn't gonna work.
- He thinks he's better than us.
- What I think Cory's trying
to articulate and he can't
because he's too enraged
Is that using toothpicks
makes you look arrogant.
Yeah, it just makes
us feel like
we don't wanna kick it
with you anymore.
I haven't wanted
to kick it with you
for quite some time now.
So you all think
I look arrogant?
Donny, listen to me.
My daddy used to pick.
And I couldn't understand
a word he said.
Everything was garbled.
I couldn't stand it
when we ate corn on the cob
because I knew exactly
what was gonna happen.
It doesn't affect my speech.
Let me hear you say,
"I love you, pumpkin."
I love you, pumpkin.
Oh, my God.
It sounds just like him.
You sound just like daddy.
All right.
I will take the toothpick
Now you look
even more arrogant.
- Whoa, calm down.
- I mean, he just doesn't
Andie, he doesn't get it.
Donny, what I think Cory
is trying to articulate
Um, and he can't really
get it out
because he's seething with
anger, teeming with fury
Is that when you have it in
your mouth and you take it out,
it places special emphasis
on what's about to come out
of your mouth.
As if somehow
that is the most important
thing in the world.
And we all know
It ain't.
Donny, my boy.
I know we used
to use toothpicks together,
but we were young and stupid.
So I stopped.
But you couldn't.
When you tried those
cinnamon toothpicks,
I knew you were hooked.
You started entering
a different life.
Becoming a different fool.
And that made me feel hopeless.
So I just wanna say that
we all really care about you.
Actually found this photo
on Instagram
you should take a look at.
Who is this?
That ain't you, my boy.
- That ain't you, my boy.
- That ain't you, my boy.
That ain't you, my boy.
I do look arrogant.
This ends now.
What do you want me
to do with that?
Make 100 club sandwiches?
You're gonna build a temple,
and you're gonna burn it down.
It's about ritual.
Repetition brings us forward.
Birthdays.
Homecomings.
Bonfires.
What we wanna do
is take your worst element,
give it a form and a shape,
destroy that form and shape,
giving us ash
that we can stand over,
leaving a clear path
for you to proceed forward.
Not backwards.
You're in a cycle right now.
You are grit on a train wheel.
Oh, you Oh, there's a couple cinnamon
ones, too, in there.
Go forward into the light.
Into the night.
Fight a tiger.
Drink camel's milk.
Have a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich, if you want.
How big is the problem now?
It's nothing but dust.
