Somebody Somewhere (2022) s01e06 Episode Script

1 I feel like being bad.
Let's go to Freddy's and get milkshakes for lunch.
I'd love to, but I'm working straight through.
Again? Come on.
Monica's been riding my ass, and I gotta leave early for my mom's thing.
Just eat with Michael.
- We broke up last night.
- Wait, what? Why didn't you call me? Are you okay? Fuck, Joel.
No, I'm good.
We're just in different places.
You know, things happen.
- I don't want to talk about it right here.
- Fuck this.
Let's go to Freddy's.
We can talk about it there.
Sam, I need to talk to you.
- We were actually just about - Small conference room? Fucking twat.
Are you ready for the Sam Plan? - Yeah - Okay.
So, this is your essays per hour, trending over time.
And then, this is your performance versus the other team members.
So, as you can see, you're in the top 10 percentile.
Wha I'm in the I'm in the top? So, I'm not in trouble right now? No, you've been killing it since you became my mentee, and, like, you get a lot of the credit for that.
Okay Great.
Okay.
I've got two separate tracks for you.
So one, you stay in testing, and if you keep these numbers up, you could be team leader in, like, three years, or, if you're interested, we move you into IT.
It's a lateral move for now, but it does have opportunities for growth.
And so, assuming that you want to be here super long-term, I really think that is gonna be the place where you're going to have the most, uh - Sorry, Sam? - Hm? Um, what do you think? Oh, um Well, Monica I think I wanna quit.
Yeah.
I quit.
Thank you! - Thank you.
Thank you - Thank you! It's gonna be so bleak here without you.
What am I gonna do? Who am I gonna go to lunch with? You know, Chase, who thinks dinosaurs are super-cool at 30 years old? Or-or Lydia, whose nose pops every time she chews? Look at these giant thumbtacks.
I don't like any of these people! They're all so fucking boring! Joel? You may want to keep your voice down.
Joann, butt out! Joel.
It's gonna be okay.
Look, this is good, right? I gotta go to my mom's thing, but I'm gonna text you later.
Okay? I'm texting you.
Smile? Hey, Dad.
I was hoping I wouldn't be the first.
They give you a hard time about gettin' out of work early? Um, no, not really.
- You hear anything from Tricia? - No.
- Why? - Oh, nothing.
- I'll just shoot her a quick text.
- Hm.
Oh.
Ah I'm, oh, sorry.
I I'm an oaf.
Here.
There's still a couple sips in there.
- I I feel terrible.
- Hey.
- Hey, Trish.
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey.
- What are we just We're just waiting.
Great.
All right.
- Dad just spilled a little coffee.
- You did? - Yeah, but it's free coffee.
- On her? You got a drunk in your family, too? You know, I would never really spend this much, but I've been listening to Brené Brown "Dare to Lead," and I feel like it it sends messages.
Uh, please.
Have a homemade caramel.
The wife got me a candy thermometer for my birthday, so.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
So, you're all here because of how hard Mary Jo's been working.
She's really been opening up, and we think she's ready for this next step.
An honest family dialogue.
So, who wants to start? Um, why don't we start off with you, Ed? How do you feel being here? Well, who cares about how I feel? I mean Sometimes, you have to just put your head down and, uh, get on with things.
I hear you, Ed, but if we don't share how we're feeling, over time, that can just fester and build.
You know, like a pressure cooker? If you open it without releasing some of the pressure, then boom! You know, takes practice, but if we can share just a little bit of the load, it's gonna help, all right? Thanks for getting us started, Ed.
Oh.
I didn't know that counted.
So, how's it for you? Being here, seeing your mom's progress? Either of you.
This will go a lot quicker if you just pick one of us.
- Okay.
Um, Tricia, right? - Mm-hmm.
She's the pretty one.
Um To be really honest with you, I don't feel much of anything.
Pretty numb.
Also, the dramatic one.
Oh.
Oh no, fine.
That's good.
You wanna do drama? That's fine.
Let's do drama.
I used to dread coming home from school every single day because I never knew what I was going to find when I walked through those doors.
Ever.
Didn't know which one you were gonna be that day.
If it snows in January, it's all my fault, right, Ed? - Well, it snows quite a bit - Of course Dad's gonna agree with you! He always does! - I mean - Okay, yes.
yes, yes.
Um, Sam, is there anything you'd like to add to this conversation? Well, the caramels are fucking delicious.
Thank you.
- Sorry.
- Mm.
Look, I'm glad she's here.
And I'm glad she's working hard, but I really don't think she's gonna change.
Okay.
Can you talk about that a little more? Yeah.
She's gotten sober before, and then something happens, and she's right back at it.
Like when Holly died, it was like she just Sorry, I need to stop you for one second.
Who's Holly? - Who's Holly?! - Yeah.
Holly is our sister! - How the fuck could you not tell him about Holly?! - Mother? If you think you had a bad mother, you try having a mother like mine! You cannot feel sorry for yourself right now! You do anything, just don't Don't don't blame me for everything that happens in your damn life! All right?! All right?! Goddammit! Get outta here! There you go.
Did that work out like you thought it would? Okay.
You know, I, uh I just think we gotta keep trying.
What choice do we have? No, I just need to take a little bit closer look at the assessment rubric.
- Okay, let's try to look at this one from last week.
- Okay.
If you just use this Oh my gosh, Todd, are you okay? What is funny about a man falling down? Everyone, back to work.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Oh good! And they were like, "Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing?" I was like, why are you not? - Because it's funny! - Oh my God.
See, this is why I need you at work with me.
- Yeah.
- Are you gonna eat that bacon? Yes.
All right - So, you're a little shunned, you know.
- Just a little shunned.
Just a little shunned! It's no big deal.
It's like Pick one person, and be super nice to him, and everything will be okay.
That could maybe work.
But, like, who? Oh God, I don't know any of their names.
Yeah, really.
Oh, so what are you gonna do with your first day of freedom? - Oh - Gonna just lay around, watching television, drinking wine No, I'm gonna sit down, and I'm gonna write out my five-year plan.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are you Really? - Really.
I'm totally fucking serious.
- Oh.
- You know what the first thing you should write on it? - What? "Be more generous with my bacon.
" Fuck you.
I actually don't care for bacon.
Well then, why won't you give it to me? I'm a complicated woman.
I think if you'd consider planting cover crops on, uh, this quarter here I can't do it.
With all the planting now and the, the tilling in the spring, you know, for something I can't even sell.
I hear that, but you'll be buying less herbicide, and we can talk about no-till options.
Your yields will increase over time and, you know, it is a good investment in your future.
It's hard to get excited about the future when you're just sort of, you know, hanging on to the present.
- It's just something to think about.
- Yeah.
I know we don't know each other well, but you're a real good steward of your land.
Uh-huh.
I Thank you.
You know, I'm sorry that I left early yesterday, but it was a, uh, personal, you know, family matter.
It's all right.
Family first, you know? I-I'm not sure I always put 'em first.
I-I thought I was, but I think I might have messed up.
See, I'm not the type of fellow that can, uh, just talk about stuff, and so, I hold things in.
I just Keep things to myself.
I realize that that's all gotta change.
Well, you know, think of it this way.
You can only start from where you are.
My wife Mary Jo is in one of those rehab-type places.
For the drinking.
Sorry.
It's tough for both of you.
It's tougher on her.
It's gonna be okay.
The Linens and Lemons Order came in missing a few items, but I went ahead and called and had it all sorted out.

I wouldn't have broken up with you No, it's fine.
It's okay.
It's no biggie.
Oh, I got you, uh, the Vitamix for Christmas.
Uh I thought, maybe I should uh, give it to you now.
It's, uh, it's refurbished, but Can I open it now? Or is that taking things too fast? Ouch.
You can pull up a chair at our table if you if you want.
No, I'm listening to music.
Well, Merry, uh Christmas.

It-it's a little bit uncomfortable.
Sure, but you know what? We're both adults, and we have a business to run and a fiscal responsibility No, I think your fiscal responsibilities are to your clients because you're a hooker and a whore.
Okay, well, insults aren't gonna help.
It's funny because they're helping me.
You realize that you were my best friend, right? I don't have a lot of friends, so I don't understand how someone does what you just did.
I'd like for you to leave my store, please.
