Bupkis (2023) s01e07 Episode Script

1
Well, today is a very sad day.
How do you say goodbye to someone
who is such a fixture
in all of our lives?
You know, I finally
understand the meaning
of the Beyoncé song "Irreplaceable,"
for he will never be replaced.
He was more than just a dog.
He was Borgnine.
And he was a gentleman.
From day one,
only went on the wee-wee pad.
Never the floor.
Always on the wee-wee pad.
Wouldn't go on the floor.
I mean, he wasn't perfect.
He had his flaws, right, Joe?
He he used to bark
at Black people on the TV.
But in retrospect, it was
only during "The Cosby Show,"
so maybe he recognized
something that we didn't.
I'll never forget when we put the
the hat and glasses on him.
Remember, Joe?
It was hilarious.
Fucking hilarious.
Excuse me.
Now let's take a moment of silence
and honor Borgie.
- Oh, my God.
- Ah, fuck!
Fuck.
The fuck?
Damn it.
Whew. It's fine.
She's fine. Shh. Shh.
Stop. Stop. Shh.
Sorry.
Sad day.
It's a very sad day, huh?
- Hello.
- Hello.
Good to see you, Mom.
Hey, how are you?
Hello, rest of the family.
Roy, all right. Very good.
This is sad.
Donna, hi.
All right.
I would now like to invite
family and friends to come up here
and sprinkle a little
dirt on Borgie's grave
so you can have an opportunity
to say a final goodbye.
Pete, what the fuck?
Thanks, Roy.
Oh!
Borgie!
Oh! Ah, fuck!
My fucking foot's stuck!
Sorry, Borgie.
Sorry. Sorry.
Peter
I am so sorry.
I was wrong. You're right.
Nothing will fucking fix you.
Nothing, nothing you could fucking do.
Just leave me in. I'm sorry.
Peter, there are no words
to describe how disappointed I am.
- Mom, I'm sorry.
- No, you're not.
Pete, wait.
Are you really just gonna
dip out of here like this?
Yeah I don't think anybody
wants me to be here, so
Okay, well, give me your keys.
I'm not gonna let you drive like this.
You know what?
I think I left them in
the fucking grave hole.
Be right back.
Excuse me.
Oh, my God.
It's pretty dope, right? The Shelby?
It's, like it's
pretty pretty rare.
I'm not gonna let you off the hook.
You have to fix this.
It's your family.
Yeah, well, Mom and Poppy
don't really seem to care anymore,
so what's the fucking point?
Nothing matters now.
You're such a fucking baby, Pete.
At your age, you're supposed
to be taking care of them.
You know that, right?
Also, what about me? You know I exist.
I have feelings just
like everybody else.
How come you always cast
me like I don't matter?
You do matter. I I know. Fuck.
You're right, okay? You're right.
You're always right, you know?
I fuckin'
You know I love you more than anything.
You have to get help. You need help.
I don't care if it's for me or for you,
so you can be in some bullshit
action movie or whatever.
Just fucking do it!
You realize you're
destroying the family, right?
You're breaking Mom's heart.
All right, fine. I'll go.
I'll go to rehab, okay?
You mean it?
I do. I'll go. I'm sorry.
Good.
Maybe
maybe before I go,
maybe maybe tonight,
we go out, have, like, a
family dinner, something.
Me, you, Mom, and Poppy.
It would be nice.
Yeah, that's literally all Mom's wanted
since you've been home.
I don't like you.
All right, give it up for Pete Davidson.
Ew! Fuck.
Hey, man. How's it going?
Hey, Ray.
Hey.
Can I, uh can I
talk to you for a sec?
Uh, yeah.
I'm I got a spot,
and I'm going onstage.
Yeah, I know. It'll only take a second.
Yeah, sure, man. What's what's up?
- What's going on?
- I'm good, man. I just, uh
Figure we should, uh,
you know, maybe talk
about what happened,
you know, in Canada.
What are you talking about?
What? What happened in Canada?
Ray
remember when you came into my trailer
and said all that weird stuff,
but it was, like, kind of cool
'cause it was coming from you,
but like, in retrospect,
it was actually super
fucked up and dark?
Do you remember that?
Pete, I don't I
don't know what to say.
I wasn't in Canada.
I didn't I've never met you before.
This is the first
time I've ever met you.
You told me to get sucked.
You were like, "You should
get yourself sucked!"
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up.
I don't know what's going on with you.
I know I don't know
you. I read about you.
I know you're a little fucked up.
You might be spiraling out now, man.
You may need help.
Dude, I think you
should go get some help.
Fuck. Sorry, Ray.
I
I don't know what's going on anymore.
I've been all fucked
up, but I'm actually
I'm getting help, so
Wonderful, wonderful.
Hey, you need help.
We all need help. Godspeed.
Okay? I wish you the best.
- Sayonara.
- Yeah, shalom.
Yeah, shalom's funny,
'cause it's hello and goodbye.
- Yeah.
- Aloha.
Have a good set, Ray Romano.
All right. Hey, Pete.
Yeah?
Take care of yourself,
Pussy Thanos.

Yeah.
Okay. Mangia.
That's crazy. She's fucking pregnant?
I know, I know.
Her life is over.
Over. Wow.
So are you doing that?
That type of stuff, like, that, um
- What?
- Um, the sexy stuff?
Do do you do that? Do you do that?
The sexy stuff?
Are you asking me if I have sex?
I just I
I'd tell you, but like,
you could just read
about who I'm banging
kind of like it's the
Nasdaq, but you could I
Yes, I do.
- Cool.
- Okay?
I'm sorry.
I'm not good at being your brother.
- I don't
- No, it's okay.
- It's good.
- No, I'm trying.
Yeah, I know, you're trying.
- I made the stew, you know.
- Yeah.
No, it's okay. I'm teasing.
Oh, I am really
I'm really proud of you.
That's pretty you're doing great.
- It's like
- Proud of me for having sex?
- No, no, you're the
- Thank you.
You know, you're, like, a
doctor nurse thing, right?
You have no idea what I do, do you?
No. I don't know what you do.
I just know you write prescriptions
and you won't give me any, so
She is a physician's assistant.
Her graduation's next week.
You think you can make it?
Look, Poppy, I'm really
I'm sorry about today with
the whole Borgnine thing.
That was that was bad.
Peter, you always apologize.
How many times you apologize?
You don't fucking mean it.
I don't want to be
like all those assholes
that enable you to be a jerk-off
by accepting your apology.
Okay.
I deserve that.
Well
I am going to rehab.
I found a place.
Didn't you try that once before?
I did try, yeah.
But there's a lot more to lose now.
So maybe I'll actually do it.
Maybe when I come back,
I won't be such a scumbag.
Okay.
And get rid of your friends.
What?
You heard me.
Get rid of your fucking friends.
You gotta get rid of your friends
if you want to get better.
All of them.
Even Crillz?
Especially Crillz.
I just wish I could help you.
You know, I really tried.
I know. I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
You know that, right?
Well, it's not easy being a parent.
I only ever wanted the best for you.
You know, I hope you know that.
Of course.
And I hope you know like,
I know I don't say it a lot,
but I love you.
You're the best.
Pete, I need you to take this seriously.
I really need you to get better.
'Cause I love you more than
I could possibly tell you.
So what's this girl's
name you're going with?
- I forget.
- Nikki.
- Nikki, Nikki. Right, right.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How you doing with her?
Good? You like her?
I love her. She's the best. Yeah.
It's complicated, though, you know?
- Yeah.
- It's hard, you know?
Do you ever take her dancing?
No. Take her dancing? What do you mean?
I mean dancing. You know,
take her out dancing.
- I know how to dance.
- You know how to dance?
- Yeah, I know how to dance.
- That's not dancing.
That's no, what you
kids do is not dancing.
I'm talking about romantic dancing.
You say here, watch. You do this.
- Yeah.
- Look at this. The hand?
- Okay, like that. Right there.
- Okay.
And you do very nice. You
know, you move, you roll.
Look. Smell my hair.
Say, "Ooh, you got nice hair."
Like that.
- This is ridiculous.
- I know. I know.
Oh, my God.
- Is this happening?
- What?
- Case, do me a favor.
- What?
- Come here.
- Really?
Yeah, I want you to
dance with your brother.
- Teach him how to dance.
- No.
Oh, my God, my kids are gonna dance.
- No. Come on.
- You can do this.
- Come on.
- Oh, man.
Just show him how to dance, you know.
Okay.
This way you can smell
the hair the right way.
- Come on, guys. Come on.
- Come on.
Just do it.
Smell her hair. Turn her around.
What? No.
- My hair smells great.
- It's
We could do this thing that way.
- Oh, yeah?
- And then you spin it back.
- Huh? How's that?
- Look at that, huh?
Mind if I cut in?
My darling, my darling ♪
Our love will remain ♪
I'm actually I'm
going to rehab tomorrow.
Oh, that's wonderful.
What rehab are you going to?
Uh, I'm going to this
one in the Berkshires.
Oh, Forest Point.
I've been there.
Ask for a room
on the north side of the men's ward.
The south side, there's dumpsters.
You'll hear the trash
pickup, like, every Monday.
- It's awful.
- Okay.
How's Poppy?
Yeah, well, that's why
I wanted to see you,
- 'cause
- Oh, no.
I'm going away tomorrow, and
You want me to take care of Poppy?
No, Poppy actually wanted
me to take care of you
by getting rid of you.
He said I have to get
rid of all my friends.
There's I mean, there's
no way that includes me.
You understand that, right?
I agree with him.
Get rid of your friends.
He means Derrick and Crillz
and Crillz?
- He meant those people.
- Oh.
The people you give opportunities to
who somehow blame you for them.
The people who have never started
an interesting conversation
anytime I've been around them.
I'm embarrassed. You're right.
Don't be embarrassed.
I get why it's fun to have them around.
When I was going through my worst time,
seeing your friends made me feel
like I was Abraham Lincoln.
Yeah, about that,
I actually also really
wanted to talk to you
about something that's
kind of been bothering me.
You know you know
Okay, I am sorry
that I basically lied to
you about my drug problem
and everything I was going through.
I knew I was hiding it from you.
It was on purpose.
I know you're, like, 29 now,
but I still feel some responsibility
as a older person
to make sure you're okay.
You're always in crisis.
The idea of calling you
for a crisis of mine
maybe it actually would have snapped you
out of your own bullshit.
It would have helped, honestly.
Yeah, I didn't think about that.
I'm so obsessed with my
own life and problems.
Well, your life is fascinating.
Yeah, it is, actually.
I mean, I don't know
what it's like to live it,
but goddamn, do we have fun watching it.
- It's yeah.
- It's a good time.
You know what it is?
I'm not even first of all, I
it does bother me a little bit
that everybody thinks it's my fault.
And I understand why they do. Of course.
- And you can too.
- Of course.
I mean, we do one
update feature together,
and then my life completely changes.
There's theories online
that we swapped souls.
- I've read all of them.
- Yeah.
To the point where I was reading them
- and I was like, did I?
- Did this happen?
Did this fucking happen?
We hug at the end, and that's when
people say the souls switch.
- Yes.
- And your soul came into me
and made me, like, a
degenerate drug addict.
Yeah, everyone thinks
we "Freaky Friday'd."
- We "Freaky Friday'd."
- We "Freaky Friday'd."
It makes a lot of sense.
I don't personally
believe in the theory,
but it's well-researched and footnoted.
Well, you know what?
It doesn't even bother me that much.
What really bothers me is that
you never you never shared.
You never shared the drugs.
- What?
- You never shared.
We could have so much fun.
It was a dark, harrowing
elevator shaft of despair.
But you've never been cooler.
We were fucking 5 feet away
in other dressing rooms,
and you were in there
just wearing a suit,
just fucking doing blow.
That's awesome, dude.
It was not awesome.
It looked awesome.
You didn't see it.
You're imagining it.
Okay, well, how do I
know now that you're good?
And how will I know how will I know?
How will I know that I'll be good?
Well, first off, how
will you know for sure
that I'm not on drugs?
- Yeah.
- You won't.
Now, in terms of you, Pete,
I worry about you to a level
that I don't worry about you.
I have worried about
you so much, so deeply,
for so many late nights
and then gone on my computer
to see that you're courtside
with fill in the blank.
Not just enjoying the game.
Laughing your ass off with them.
Yeah, it's a fun time.
And this is the same
night you're texting me
that you want to leave the planet.
Yeah.
How many times have I seen you
just fall off a building
and land on your feet
or into the arms of
a Juicy sweats model?
I don't know, John, I think I just
I think I just want,
like, a regular type life.
What the fuck is that?
Like barbecues and
baseball games and shit?
Yeah.
I don't think it's made for you.
People don't want it
from you, first off,
and second, I don't think you want it.
You've done absolutely
nothing to pursue it.
We're in comedy, okay?
You gotta be able to walk
away from anything in your life
in 30 seconds flat
when you hear an offer
around the corner.
That's why I got nothing tying me down.
You have a kid.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, there's
so much I can't do.
It's great, though.
Look, here's what's gonna happen.
You're gonna go to this rehab.
You'll stay what's
the usual stay, 28 days?
You'll stay about six, seven days.
- Yeah.
- You'll either leave
because they ask you to
or because, I don't know,
they won't let you smoke in
the hospital or something.
- Yeah.
- Some disagreement.
You'll continue to be
this bright, talented light
that seems in crisis
to everyone in the outside world.
We'll all take care of you.
And I'll continue to be
this seemingly okay guy,
all buttoned up,
but inside having a
fucking crisis all the time.
Well, John, I don't know
how to do anything else.
Neither do I.
I don't much want to.
Neither do I.
What are we doing here?
We're dancing.
I figured I'd take you dancing.
Well, Poppy thought I should do it.
Okay.
For the record, you
have not been the same
since you got back from Canada.
And that was a really long time ago.
No, I know, I know, but
I'm gonna fix it, though.
I'm gonna, you know, go away
and get my shit together.
I'm taking it serious, for real.
Right?
Can we finish this conversation first?
If you want to finish this conversation,
you gotta dance.
- Word?
- Yeah, you brought me here.
Fair.
You know, I'm going to rehab tomorrow.
What makes you think
this time is gonna be any different?
'Cause I'm gonna take it seriously.
I've heard that before.
Yeah, well, in the past,
I've only gone for, like, other people,
and historically, that doesn't work.
But now I'm gonna go
for myself, you know,
'cause I hit rock bottom.
Isn't that great?
Nice socks.
Thanks, they're duckies.
You know, I really want to believe you.
- You do?
- Yeah.
You should.
You know I care about you way too much
to see you get in your own way again.
Yeah.
I know you can fix this.
Well, you just gotta
promise me one thing.
What?
If I do this and it doesn't work out,
then I get to kill myself,
and there's nothing
you can do to stop me.
Okay. Yeah, for sure. Deal.
You're just cool with that?
I cared the first 100 times
you said shit like that,
and now it just feels like
the way you end conversations.
Fair.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
Yeah?
Sorry.
Uh, just, uh
Not not not not like this.
Should probably wait till I get back.
- Right now?
- Yeah.
You're gonna choose this moment
this is gonna be the
moment you're gonna change?
- I know.
- Right now?
My cock wants to punch me in the face.
I'm so wet.
- Ugh!
- Oh I know.
Believe me, I don't want to.
Like, I wore I wore a suit.
I know. You look nice in the suit.
- Really?
- Yeah.
You look like Mr. Smith.
- Like Mr. Smith?
- Yeah.
Oh, that's what I was going for.
Look, no, I
I just
I thought a lot about what
you said the other day,
and you're right.
It's not fair to do that to a person.
And I'm sorry. I
Obviously, we should be together.
I know that.
It's like, you're great.
You're so funny. You're so smart.
Can't even believe you talk to me,
'cause I'm such a fucking idiot, right?
And we have so much fun together.
But I think that's why
it, like, freaks me out a lot, 'cause
I wouldn't want to lose that.
I'd be so fucking hurt
if I blew it, you know?
And if I don't take care of myself
and get my shit together,
I'll just fuck this up.
And I don't want to fuck this up.
So could I just be a gentleman
and walk you to your door?
- I'm proud of you.
- Thanks.
I'll be jerking off in my
car once I drop you off.
- All right. Yeah.
- Yeah, same.
Okay.
- Thank you.
- You know what?
I think I changed my mind.
- Nope, too late.
- Fuck!
Hey.
Hey. Got your bag.
Thanks.
You know, I'm really
happy that you're
you're gonna get the help that you need.
I know I might not say this a lot,
and I know it's probably
fucking hell working for me.
I can't imagine.
Fuck, that must be rough.
- No, it's
- I mean, just
I know you just genuinely care about me,
and I really appreciate it.
Don't think that I take
it for granted, you know?
I mean, I may not know
your girlfriend's name.
- I am sorry.
- It's, uh, Lizzie.
- Lizzie? Oh.
- Yeah.
I think I'm gonna propose to her.
Oh, really?
Sorry I won't be able to
make it to the wedding,
but I'm really proud and happy for you
that you found someone,
'cause you deserve that.
We haven't we haven't set a date yet.
Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to make it.
I just I really appreciate
everything you do for me, man.
I just I love you, man.
You know, like a brother.
Like, you are my brother.
And I'm rambling.
I just
just, yeah, this.
Want you to have that, so
Oh, it's the gift card
that your agent got you last week.
Yeah, it's Carbone.
- Yeah.
- And I know you love Carbone.
I really wanted you to have it.
Yeah, I think I used most of this
when we ordered delivery
the other day, but
You could at least get the focaccia.
- Yeah, focaccia's good.
- The focaccia.
It's so fun to bring a date.
You could bring Leslie there.
- Lizzie.
- Lizzie.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, I really love you, man.
And I really
I love working with you.
"For." You work for me.
And same.
Okay.
Please don't die.
That's it.
Whoa, what's going on here, gay boys?
Pete, you wanted to talk, my G?
Yeah, just, uh, take a seat.
I'll be with you in a sec.
All right.
What's up, Ev?
Look, man, this isn't
this isn't easy for me to do, okay?
I just want you to know that.
Okay.
It's over, bro.
Party's over.
What?
I gotta get help, bro.
I gotta get help.
I gotta make a fucking
real change in my life.
And I can't be doing that
if you're still around.
I'm sorry if I did something.
You don't have to be sorry.
You did nothing wrong.
In fact, you didn't do
anything much at all.
I don't regret the time we had.
I look back on it fondly,
and I will forever.
Even when you're gone.
Hall of Fame run, my G.
We fucking did that shit, man.
Yeah. We did.
We did that shit, you know?
I mean, I I did it, but you watched.
Can I have a shot?
My G.
Cheers.
Ah, nice.
I best be off to rehab now, huh?
Yeah, man.
Take care, Crilly.
You too, my G.
Thanks.
Let me know if you need anything.
I won't.
And we're rolling.
Camera mark.
I have been wanting to
do this for a long time.
Go for it.
I missed the fucking
Should I do it again?
Cut.
