Hiccups and Hookups (2021) s01e08 Episode Script

1
- It's right hand side.
- Yeah.
Strange choice.
- Oh, hey, sis!
- Oh!
- God bless!
- God bless!
No. Let's all go together.
- God bless!
- God bless!
Kay!
Dude,
I can't wait for Monday. Right?
Dennis is testing the new algos
for the entire customer base!
Now, we'll know if those positive
numbers in the sample tests hold up.
I think they will.
Did he send the demos already?
Yes. You didn't see?
I would have seen them if
they were in my inbox, JC.
Oh, shit!
I'm just not used to
forwarding stuff to you, man.
Anyway,
let's check'em out directly on Monday then.
Akhil, uh, you'll have to shut
down your old algos, yeah?
- Yeah.
- And it's urgent, okay?
- Urgent.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Uh, JC,
can you drop me back at the Kechup office?
I'll take my car from there and
go to my sister's art exhibition.
You guys are
welcome to join too.
I'd love to come, man,
but I need to crunch some
numbers for the final LFA with JC.
And, um,
I have three back-to-back meetings, man.
The hustle keeps me going.
Fatty,
how many footfalls have we had so far?
Total twenty.
Six of them were
guys I right-swiped.
I think they must be stuck
in the Bengaluru traffic.
Guys you right-swiped?
I was worried that no
one would show up.
So,
I right-swiped almost everybody on Kechup.
Okay.
Okay. Today,
I'm gonna be zen like the Enso circle.
So, whatever chaos,
whatever Fuck-ups happen,
it's zen in, zen out.
What's this?
No description here.
It's a sculpture by Bhaskar.
I think he forgot to
send a description.
Lemme call him. If someone asks about it,
it'll be embarrassing.
Right.
- That's the first red dot!
- Yeah.
We've made our first sale babe!
How do the North Indians say it?
Rock n Roll!
It was a great idea to hire Kutty Uncle.
- Yes.
The sound of the bell sounds
so lovely early in the morning.
Sweet!
Two!
Oh my God!
Amazing!
Akhil, on second thoughts,
I'll go with you.
I'll come and say hi to Vasu.
- Okay.
- You're cool with that, right?
- Bye, JC.
- See you, man.
Hi, Anvesha.
Sweetheart,
Papa will be home in one hour.
Today,
we can read 'The Cat in the Hat', okay?
Okay, baby. Bye.
What cat has
gotten into your hat?
It's become very
difficult to deal with him.
He's having secret meetings!
I wanna punch him
and break his teeth.
- It's all your fault.
- My fault?
Okay, it's not your fault. But
let me rant. We're old partners.
My stress levels are off
the charts. Look at this. Look.
I'm surviving on Antacids.
So, take a break, bro.
Listen. There's a meditation camp
for families in Ooty this weekend.
Attend it. R&R yourself
over the weekend.
We'll deal with
Monday when it comes.
We'll have the government
approval by Monday.
Then he's here to stay.
I had never thought JC
would start to behave like this.
Go on. Say, 'I told you so.'
That's the look
you have right now.
Go to Ooty with
your cat and hat.
- Relax yourself and then come back.
- Hmm.
Really, man.
See, he's texted again.
Please crack the algos
by tomorrow morning bro
Or else, this BDSM relationship
will be official from Monday.
- I'm on it. I'll go now.
- Okay.
I've got to go and
pick up Rinzing and Ila.
Bye.
The artist is making a
statement against gravity.
Definitely, sir!
But, sir, the jelly is down so…
Anyway, guys,
thanks so much for
coming. It really means a lot.
- Definitely!
- It's okay.
Actually,
ever since I became a feminist,
I've started taking all the
female employees out with me.
It gives them exposure
and promotes equality.
Look,
if I hadn't fired you that day,
could you have
done all this? No.
You should really thank me.
Because great bosses
push their employees.
Sometimes,
even out of the office.
Hold on a minute!
You've not understood
the art in this!
This is a fluid soul
stuck inside a rigid body.
A soul?
It wants to wander,
but the body
The body is confining it.
And the body
Sorry.
I'm Pradeep Bhaiya,
Vasu's cousin.
Vasu,
why don't you tell us what this means?
Yes. Fatty,
tell us what this means.
Uh
What do you think this is?
Ahem.
Anti-gravity
spirituality.
It's a soul fighting a body.
You both are totally correct!
This is a soul,
- that's fighting gravity.
- Yes.
- Hmm.
- Hmm.
Great, guys.
What's up,
champ? You're acting very shy today.
That day,
you wanted to see and show a lot.
Hey, sis.
Hey!
- Oh, you guys made it!
- Of course!
- You look great!
- Kay?
- Kay is coming with Dhruv.
- Okay.
- Hi. I'm Ila, the plus-one.
- Ah!
So, nice to finally meet you.
- Congratulations on this.
- Thanks.
And you've got a nice haircut.
Thanks.
Hey, Pradeep Bhaiya!
Excuse me.
- This is really good.
- Thanks.
Give this to that woman
with the new haircut.
Congratulations, guys!
The jelly is gone.
How much is this one for?
- This one is also for 35,000.
- Okay.
Rs 35,001.
Hmm.
- Hmm.
- Oh, the bell?
Oh, yeah.
You forgot to ring it.
Applause, please.
I'll get your invoices.
Don't you use a chequebook?
It's in my Mercedes.
Which Mercedes?
Red It's a red one.
Congratulations, Vasu.
Thanks, Dhruv.
- Kay?
- Oh, she's on her way.
Okay.
Um, here.
- Pancake bonanza?
- Yes.
I'm sure you've not eaten
anything since morning.
Yeah.
See? I know you so well.
Good luck to you.
- Thank you.
- And to me, for the chat.
Uh
Tell me which one
of these is good.
I'll buy it for our house.
I like them all.
Of course!
So,
shall we talk tonight?
- Yeah
- Um, we can talk tomorrow too.
- So, no stress. Okay?
- Okay.
Continue.
Yes.
- When was this made? It smells so stale.
- I'm so glad you made it.
- It's just absolutely
- I'm so bored.
- Oh my God!
- These olives are so dry.
- You have to change them.
- Sorry, ma'am.
- I will change them.
- Please.
Very boring, but it's okay.
You know,
I don't want my story to
- When did you both get here?
- Ten minutes ago.
Why do you look so stressed?
Isn't it obvious, mom?
I asked you why
you looked stressed.
Whether you're stressed or not,
it doesn't matter.
Vasudha,
you should project confidence.
People pick up on that.
Back straight, smile,
at least,
look like you're winning.
My dear,
why aren't there any vegan options?
Not everyone's devoted
their lives to spirituality, dad.
Oh!
- And who's the pretty lady?
- Oh!
Ila, my girlfriend.
Occasional or serious?
Sorry.
Akhil's girlfriends
change so frequently
- that we just can't keep up.
- Mom!
Occasional, serious
I don't believe in labels,
you know?
Good, bad
Rude, polite
You know?
- So good to see you!
- Good to see you too.
- That's my girlfriend Ila.
- Hi!
Nice to meet you.
Hey.
Hey, kiddo.
You haven't spoken to your
mother for even a minute.
What are you thinking?
I don't know, uncle.
I mean, I just want an internship,
and just want to Fuck off from here.
All these emotions
are meaningless.
My dear Kay,
I'll miss you.
Sangram Seekar Is he famous?
Yes, Mrs Ramaswamy.
Sangram Seekar was
very popular 15 years ago.
And one day,
he just got fed up with the art world
and disappeared quietly.
Now,
her creates art only for himself.
But he's really quite a genius.
But Rs 12 lakhs That's too much,
isn't it?
I think I'll look for
something else.
- Sure.
- Okay.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
We've sold 18.
Dhruv bought two, and Akhil one.
- Oh, that's great!
- I know!
Yeah
Creativity spurs without
the toxic macho masculinity.
- Doesn't it?
- Does it?
It does.
- Good work, guys.
- Thank you.
Cheers!
How's it going?
Um, good. Very good. Very,
very good.
Actually, it could be better,
dude Aunty, I mean.
I'll see you.
Ila, did Golu share with you
his football story from school?
- Golu?
- Golu.
On the football field,
Golu looked like a football himself.
I mean, while running.
And nobody would talk to him.
And this gentleman
wouldn't talk to anyone either.
A perfect relationship.
I encouraged him so much
to wake up in the morning and attend
a spiritual sermon for ten minutes.
But Golu being Golu
'No, no, no.'
'No' was his favourite word.
- Mr Rao, you're too funny.
- Akhil!
Look,
who would let someone who runs
like this hold a football in their hands?
Dad, in football,
one uses ones feet, not hands.
He and his sister
Rebel number one.
We've gotten used to it.
Oh! That's why Akhil
didn't get married!
Although you will now,
right? Ila, make him do it.
You know, boys never listen.
We just need one
more! Just one more!
- Yeah!
- Okay.
- We did it!
- We did it!
- I can't believe this, Fatty!
- Neither can I.
Here's the proof!
But none of Sangram's paintings got sold,
right?
It's okay. The
gallery will be open.
- Someone will surely buy it.
- Yeah.
And I'll have sex tonight!
Definitely!
Actually,
Vasudha is the rebel number one.
Think about it. She
left such a lucrative job
to do this.
And to prove a point that she
can do something with her career.
The fact that she got a
job is a big deal in itself.
It's so worrying for us parents,
you know?
Grandma, did we get a slot for that
video interview with Dilip uncle yet?
We'll have it in
a couple of days.
Now, that's a good child!
She listens.
- Excuse me.
- Oh!
I have collected
samples of more than 100 men
and mixed them with a chemical
compound of sulphur slime
and added a touch
of orange colour to it.
- Hmm.
- Oh!
And I call it 'The
Element of Unity'.
Basically, it's semen.
- Huh?
- What?
- Ugh!
- Fuck!
No!
Anyway Congrats,
Vasu. You're not stressed anymore, right?
- We sold semen, dude!
- I know!
- But we did it!
- Yeah!
The gallery stays!
You get paid.
We always knew
you'd do it. Congrats.
- I'm just so
- Happy?
Yeah!
You should be. It
was a tough target.
- It was.
- Yeah.
- The invoices babe.
- Okay.
Don't worry.
It'll be alright.
Vasu, where have you been?
Come on, it's time for your speech.
Why are you hiding from the celebrations?
Come.
Yeah.
So,
it's one of those climatic moments
that no hero
forgoes in any movie.
The winner's speech.
Vasu, we trust you.
Yay, Vasu!
- All yours.
- Thanks.
Hi, guys. I'm Vasu.
Short for Vasudha.
Thank you, all of you.
Enso's 'The End of an Era'
exhibition has been a success.
Yay!
And now, you all may heave
a sigh of relief and be happy.
You too, mom. Hmm?
You deserve a special congratulations,
mom.
Your prediction turned
out to be 100 percent true.
I'm not capable of making this
exhibition a success on my own.
Sorry, guys. Let me give
you a little bit of a backstory.
She's the goddess of success.
My mother, Mrs Gayatri Rao.
And the biggest
disappointment of her life
Me!
And so, even today,
I was all set to disappoint her,
but she wore her superhero cape,
and through her company Casper,
she bought five expensive
paintings as an act of charity
Hmm?
And saved the day once more!
What the Fuck?
So, Fuck, wait! No targets?
So, Kirit, Som, I'm sorry.
This exhibition
wasn't successful.
And I'm a loser.
But, mom,
I'm not ashamed of being a loser.
And I don't need
you to rescue me.
So, Fatty, please.
Reverse all the
invoices from Casper.
And, mom,
find someone else for your rescue missions.
You know,
after what you did today,
I had only two options.
Either to quietly
accept your charity
or admit that I'm a failure.
And I choose failure.
So, guys, there'll be a
party here today. We'll Party!
But the theme of this party is
losing with self-respect. Hmm?
- What say?
- Yes.
You're a winner, Vasu!
We trust you.
What's with you people?
Huh?
When will you stop
playing these mind games?
So disrespectful!
Oh, come on,
mom! Give me a break!
Vasu!
- It's okay. It's okay.
- I'm okay.
- It's okay.
- I'm okay.
- Yes. I know they've reversed the entries.
- Yeah.
No,
there's nothing I can do about it.
- I'll deal with it later.
- It's just the way life is.
Mom! Mom!
You both do such things,
and then you ask
why we ignore you!
I don't believe it!
It's not okay to say all
this in front of everyone.
When do you both talk to us?
Whether in front of
people or otherwise.
And every time we
share something with you,
you guys just gang up
on us and shut us down.
'Silence!'
Akku is right.
Since childhood,
we've been there for each other
and somehow manage
everything between us
That's why we've stopped
telling you all anything!
Have you all even noticed?
Oh, I've noticed.
You've stopped telling us,
but you've started
telling the world about us.
You both should
reflect on your anger.
Really? Like you shared my
football story with everyone, right?
Beta,
I was trying to lighten up the mood.
You had no idea that I jumped off
the school wall and broke my leg?
Because you just
wanted to pretend
that all I needed was to
attend spiritual sermons.
And that it was all an accident.
Well, no. No,
dad. It wasn't an accident.
I told you, 'I'm depressed.'
And as usual, you said,
'It's bullshit! Get over it!'
and dismissed it.
So, why aren't you dealing
with your depression?
Or do we have to do that too?
When we try to help you,
you say, 'I'll deal with it.'
This This is crazy!
You know? You were right.
You are a disappointment,
you guys!
Both of you!
That they are.
Why? Why must we keep hoping
and expecting that one day,
these two will understand us?
It's never going to happen, Vasu. It's never going to happen.
- I know.
- It's okay.
- I know.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Whoa!
You know?
It's not about
loving your family.
It's about forgiving them.
And I don't know when the
hell I'm going to forgive mine.
- Hey!
- Sorry.
Bro, you're too cool!
You spoke so freely on
stage! It was amazing!
Yeah!
So, I didn't just make a total fool of
myself and look completely pathetic?
I'm sorry.
You know what?
Want to celebrate?
Fuck, yes! Come on!
Satvik is a Fucking mor
Definitely!
Sure?
Definitely!
Satvik?
Satvik!
- Definitely!
- Definitely!
Yeah.
It happens.
That happens too.
- Don't mess it up!
- Hey!
What the
Fuck! Akku! Akku! Akku,
I can explain!
Akhil!
Akhil,
just speak to her Akhil!
No, Akhil!
You moron! What's
wrong with you?
Akku, hear me out! Akku, please!
Akku, just listen to me!
Akku, please!
Fuck! shit!
I know. Yeah.
Morning!
Thanks, bro.
Perfect. I need to go home
and urgently work
on Kechup algos.
Should I drop you?
It's just that I don't think
you should be anywhere near
steering wheels for a while.
I got it.
See you later.
Not worried at all.
Are you still
angry with Gayatri?
Did I overreact?
No. Not at all.
I think what you did
was absolutely fine.
You did the right thing.
Gayatri shouldn't have
done what she did secretly.
I'm completely with you.
- Really?
- Yes.
You are?
Of course.
Why are you so shocked?
After all, I'm your husband.
Vasu, uh,
let's get back together.
Back to our world.
Yes, Dhruv. I've decided
that we should get divorced.
I mean, I hate that word, but
Are you serious?
Tell me you're kidding!
All this started with Mekhla,
right?
Mekhla is not a part of my life
anymore. She's moved back to Delhi.
I'm not in touch with her. Check
my phone. Check my phone.
- I don't even have her number!
- Dhruv. Dhruv!
Mekhla was just the end of it.
I wasn't happy,
and you weren't happy either.
- And then she came along. Okay?
- I was happy.
I was. I was very happy.
I just made one mistake.
And I'm really sorry for that,
but that's all about it.
I don't see it like that.
After we got married,
I locked myself up in a box.
And what were our lives, Dhruv?
It was just a routine!
And given everything
I've discovered with Enso
I couldn't have lived this
life while being married.
You're talking like a teenager.
Let's go to a counsellor.
Let's get counselling. I
think everything will be okay.
Dhruv,
we were together for twenty years.
But that doesn't mean we'll be
together for the next twenty years too.
Come on, Vasu!
You're deciding to
end our marriage!
Dhruv,
it's neither my fault nor yours.
It's just life.
I'm really sorry, Akku.
Akku, please.
Akku, at least, say something!
Just Akhil!
What do you want me to say?
How was yesterday's experience?
I said I'd be nice to her. Akku!
I really am sorry, man!
I don't know what to say!
It It didn't
Babe,
why didn't you answer my call?
Oh! Hey, Vasu.
Do you have anything to eat? I'm like,
starving.
I don't know how it happened.
But the truth is
that I was sharing
a joint with her.
And I was in a "Fuck it" mode.
So,
you decided to Fuck my relationship.
Akku,
you wrote on my profile,
I'll try everything once
I don't know. Maybe that thought
was lingering in my head then.
I don't know.
Don't look at me for answers,
guys.
I have no problem
with all of this.
What? Don't you know me by now?
This is me!
Akhil, listen. I'm into you,
okay? Big time.
My heart is open.
And my mind too.
But my mind isn't so open.
This is trauma for me.
You and her, you and me
Her and me
I just don't know.
I really don't know
how to react to you both.
What do I say to you two?
Who do I blame in this?
Do I even blame anyone?
Okay, I get it.
There was a lot of
dramatics initially.
Vasu and I made out.
- But get over it! So what?
- What?
- Kay!
- Mom!
Looks like more dramatics.
You made out with her too?
I mean, first Prashant, now Ila?
What is with you?
Mom, you're weird!
Thank you.
Okay, uh, you know what?
I think I'm going to let you guys
figure this out amongst yourselves.
Yes. Yes. That would be best.
I'll call you. I mean,
I don't know.
Maybe I will. Maybe I won't.
You will.
But I don't know if I'll
answer your call or not.
Just Fucking with you guys.
I'm really sorry, Akku.
You asked me not
to think too much.
So, I didn't.
And now, look…
I'd rather live with my anxiety.
'Fuck-it' and all that
It doesn't work for me.
What were you thinking or not thinking,
mom?
Kay,
I didn't know you liked Prashant so much.
Otherwise,
I wouldn't have done that.
Not that you can do anything with him,
okay?
Henceforth, I won't do anything.
I'm going to wear a
chastity belt around my waist.
Just like, no sex! I'm done!
Should I also meet Max?
No,
please! Find your own therapist.
What you said to grandma
yesterday was quite amazing.
I was quite proud of you.
Also, I like your haircut.
Yeah?
Yeah, I like it too.
I can't lose you, Akku.
Yeah, yeah. I know.
I can't lose you either.
Even if I wanted to.
There's something else. I've
decided to take a gap year.
As in?
As in,
I'll take a year to think and explore.
After what you said yesterday,
I got the final push.
Are you sure, Kay?
Very.
Guys, uh,
I'm going to drop another bomb.
Dhruv and I
Mom.
I missed you, kiddo.
Oh, shit! Give me a minute.
What I came here for
- Your algo?
- Yeah.
It didn't work.
JC will be a part of Kechup.
Fuck!
- It's okay.
- It's okay.
Something will work out.
We've made it so far.
We'll figure something.
We won't give up.
Yeah.
- Fingers crossed.
- Fingers crossed.
But first,
let's just sit like this for ten minutes.
- It's been so long.
- It has.
- We just haven't been together like this.
- You're right.
I think the three of us
have some solid problem.
Why?
Something's wrong
with us. We're not normal.
