Sprung (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

1
We're gonna need you
to start dating Stan.
Excuse me?
Stan, the bank manager
who's in love with you.
Can I help you?
Is your son home?
- Why?
- Just wanted to check in on him.
Make sure he wasn't
harboring any ill will
about me sticking my ding-a-ling
in his ex's thing-a-ling.
Wiggles? He's over her.
Tossed her out like a pee bottle
on the interstate.
Don't tell Mom,
but Wiggles and I are engaged.
What were you in for?
Uh sellin' weed.
Weed's practically legal.
It wasn't legal in 1994 when they had
mandatory minimum drug sentences.
And since the drugs were confiscated
within 1,000 feet of a school,
that doubles it to 30 years.
You must've been bored out of your skull.
Well, I read a lot.
I just tried to make lemonade
out of the lemons life gave me.
I don't like lemonade. It's too sweet.
Lemons, on the other hand,
I could suck on a lemon all day.
I like the way it makes my toes curl.
Holy shit.
This car is wicked, Spike.
Thanks, Jack.
She's a real panty-dropper.
I took Derek's girlfriend
for a spin last night
and, uh, we went from
zero to blowjob in 6.2 minutes.
Derek? Your brother Derek?
Man
Can I help you?
Oh, no, I'm just checkin' out the car.
- Does it belong to you?
- Sure does.
I've always wanted one of these.
The auction's getting ready to start.
Okay.
And I always wanted one of those.
Does she belong to you?
"Belong"? Her?
I mean,
we dated for a little while in prison.
I sold weed,
she did a little white-collar stuff.
Nothin' too scary.
You're good.
It's been a little confusing
since we've been out.
The tough thing is,
we live with other people,
so we don't get a lot of alone time.
I mean, we recently slept together,
but I still don't know what that meant.
Before I went in the joint,
when I was much younger,
you slept with a woman,
you were practically engaged.
But these days,
things seem a little looser, maybe?
Are you married?
Look, man, I gotta dip, so
Oh, yeah, no.
Dip on. Dip away.
You know, I didn't know
who to talk to about this stuff
and since we both like IROCs,
well, I thought maybe, you know
Yeah, you drive safe.
And sold!
Barb, one of the Congresswoman's
sculptures just sold for 46 grand.
You're kiddin' me.
Let me see, let me see.
That's a lot of money for a monkey
humpin' a giant metal ostrich.
It's bronze,
and it's the angel Raphael
carrying a child into heaven.
Mm
Potato, pot-ah-to.
I figured we could all settle in
and watch the auction together tonight.
Got this new kind of Asian spaghetti soup.
Raymond noodles.
Hmm.
Is it Raymond or ramen?
Cool people say Raymond.
Raymond.
I thought it was ramen.
It is.
Sometimes I can't resist
messing with the guy
who's been locked up
for the last quarter-century.
I think you'll like it, Barb.
I tried some in the car. It's good.
Everybody loves Raymond.
Oh, I can see why.
So, if a horny monkey statue
brought 46 grand,
how much you think the rest
of the Congresswoman's crap will go for?
The way it's going,
it could be over a million.
Ooh, I like the sound of that.
So, money lands here
in the bogus account.
And then
Are you almost done figurin' out
how we're gonna get the money?
Because you're killin' me
with the Scotch tape.
It's gettin' there.
Ugh.
I thought we said 6:00.
We did.
I just didn't want you to be confused
when you saw my car next door.
I need to safely feed Mom first,
and it takes a little while to liquefy
a Double Whopper with cheese.
See you soon.
Can't wait.
No Raymond for me.
- Oh.
- As instructed,
I have a backyard
social distance dinner date
with Stan, the human crescent roll.
Maybe if you start thinking about him
as Stan, the bank manager
who's gonna help us all get rich,
it'll make things easier to swallow.
Swallow?
You didn't say
It's a figure of speech, Barb.
Just a figure of speech.
So, uh
I guess it's just me and Gloria tonight.
Easy, tiger.
Don't go poppin' a Cialis and fillin'
a bathtub in a meadow just yet.
Let me see if Rooster's hungry.
He went upstairs a while ago
to play with his Legos.
Uh, I wasn't suggestin'
we were gonna
I don't know why she always does that.
Make sure he knows
we can save him some Raymond
if he's busy with his toys.
Come here, you little
Barb?
Hello? What is going on?
I told her to stay away from my son!
And I just caught
the two of them screwing!
And this moron was on backwards!
It's called "reverse cowgirl".
And if you went to Junior high
in the last century, you'd know that.
Oh!
Ma, please don't stab her!
Stab me!
Jack, go get the car keys.
Not gonna happen, Barb.
What are you wearing?
When you're naked and getting yelled at,
you grab what you grab.
Guess who else got out of jail early
because of Covid.
How cool is this pandemic?
Aw, shit.
Rooster.
I ain't seen you since you set me up.
We should chat.
Hey, Ma, is the gun still in the freezer?
Behind your Uncrustables.
Bullets in the ice tray.
Jack, what's up, man?
Uh, you know, same old, same old.
You need to accept it, Barb.
Your son and I are in love.
Wiggles?
What are you doin' here, baby?
Are you back with Rooster?
You left me to die
under a weighted blanket.
I tried to call you in prison to tell you
that Rooster and I were getting married,
but I don't know your last name.
- What?
- Married?
Are you engaged?
Yeah, I was gonna tell you after.
God!
Rooster, put that away.
We got company.
Barb, we don't need
this kind of attention. We gotta go.
- Come on.
- What's with all the screaming?
Hey, mind your business!
No one asked you questions about
the screaming coming from your house
when you were bangin' the mailman.
Hey, no need
to get me involved in this shit.
I got kids.
Let go! I bruise like a banana
and it's comin' up on my tank-top season!
Tell Jack to stall Melvin
another 30 seconds
so I can get this gun defrosted.
Everyone's fine.
Rooster put a frying pan in the microwave
and it blew up.
Dipshits.
Melvin, you don't wanna
get tangled up in this.
Rooster's not worth it, Melvin.
And a handsome guy like you,
you can do better
than some stripper, Melvin.
I like when you say my name a lot.
And I am handsome.
Great skin.
My lotion game is tight.
I don't know, man.
Maybe I need to smoke a little weed
and get my head straight.
There you go. Weed.
Always a smarter choice.
Let's bounce.
Uh, I'm sorry, did you say "let's",
as in, I'm coming?
Yeah, I didn't just come here
to kick Rooster's ass.
I was thinking,
after, we can hang.
You ain't gonna turn your back
on your main man, are you?
I don't recall making any declaration
about who's whose main man,
but, uh
But, uh, sure.
Uh, yeah, let's Let's go.
We'll be gone, what,
like, half an hour or so?
More than that. It's gonna take
at least an hour to get to Camden County.
Camden County?
I grew up near Camden County.
Cool.
The folks that run the dispensary there
are a little more forgiving than most.
My medical marijuana card
is a little sketch.
Whoa, you weren't kidding.
This is literally a little sketch.
Thus, the hour drive.
So, I am not just gonna sit by
and let my son pollute our gene pool
by tossin' a fistful of stripper DNA
into the mix.
She's gonna turn our family tree
into a family pole.
- Mm-hmm.
- Stan?
And sure, my sister's a crack addict,
we got a handful of felons,
and my father was a Methodist
for a few weeks, under duress,
but that's exactly why
Rooster needs to aim higher.
- Mm-hmm.
- Stan?
This family is never
gonna get a thoroughbred
if we keep breedin' with donkeys.
Stan?
Do you need to get that?
Sorry.
Mother, we talked about this.
I'm on a date through a fence.
Did you bring dessert?
If you can keep your head inside
for another half-hour,
I'll soften up some Swedish Fish candies.
Sorry.
Listen, Barb,
have you ever thought that maybe
this isn't so much about Wiggles,
as much as it's about you losing your son?
Why would I have thought about that?
Well, I'm not sure if you've noticed,
but I have a very close relationship
with my mother.
Mm-hmm.
From my bedroom window, I've seen you help
her out of the tub and clip her toenails.
That's unfortunate.
Anyway, there have been many times,
like right now,
when she's interfered with my love life.
I suspect it's because
she's afraid of losing me.
She wouldn't even let me go to the prom,
which backfired.
I ended up staying home
and playing in her bunko night,
which is when I lost my virginity
to her friend Carol.
God rest her soul.
What's your point?
That maybe this isn't about Wiggles.
Maybe this is about you
being afraid of losing Rooster.
That's ridiculous.
No. Mm-mm. No.
I don't care if Rooster gets married.
Just so long as he marries
someone's exactly like me.
Mm-hmm.
Someone who knows how to take care of him.
He's a lot of work.
From Mom's kitchen window,
I've seen you
floss his teeth in the backyard.
He flails around too much
if I do it inside.
He knocked over an urn while
I was tryin' to extract a popcorn kernel
and now his poor father's
in a Dustbuster on the mantel.
Understood.
And you've spent enough time
around Wiggles to know for sure
that she can't take care of Rooster?
The girl pours the milk
before the cereal, Stan.
She just sits there
and lets it splash her. Every time.
I think I know.
Has it been a half-hour?
She's not gonna stop.
This was lovely.
I hope we can do it again.
And maybe I'm wrong
about you being like my mother.
You'd know better than me.
Are you preparing my fish?
Softening them as we speak, Mother.
Call Wiggles.
Invite her over for ice cream.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
If you love her so much, I should
at least try to get to know her better.
Make sure you two are a good fit.
Oh, Mom, thanks.
You're gonna love her.
And trust me, we're a great fit.
I'm still wearin' her underwear
'cause we're the same size.
I gotta admit, I'm a little surprised.
For a woman who was wielding a knife
earlier, you're acting very reasonable.
I just need to prove to myself
that Wiggles is trash.
And then I'm not gonna
become some needy-ass,
bonkers old lady gettin' baby-birded
Swedish Fish through a doggy door.
There's my Barb.
There's some floss sticks
in the glove compartment.
I got a little Raymond
stuck between my teeth.
What do I do with 'em when I'm finished?
I usually just throw 'em back in the bag.
Aw, shit, they're about to close.
Hold up, man.
One more customer.
My anxiety-induced insomnia
is wreakin' havoc on my pre-glaucoma.
Thanks, man.
Son of a bitch.
So you got it?
Merry Christmas, Princess.
Oh.
Oh, I can't go to jail.
It's just one joint. The dude
The dude on the skateboard,
he sold it to me.
All units be advised,
we have lost the suspect.
Keep an eye out
for a 20-something male on a skateboard.
I know where he lives.
He lives with his parents.
If you let me go,
I'll tell you where he lives.
Is that him?
Yeah, yeah. That's him. That's the guy.
He sold me the weed.
You have to drive.
I was eatin' samples
like it was Saturday at Costco.
I think that car has been followin' us.
But from in the front.
It's like it knows the future.
We're followin' him.
What?
This asshole's
the reason I did 26 years.
Hey, baby. Your husband gone?
Mm. Love it.
It's funny, isn't it?
I mean, he's the one
workin' the graveyard shift,
but his wife's the one gettin' boned.
What do you mean, you don't get it?
Look, I don't know
what you got planned,
but this weed is strong
and I'm not up for gettin' the giggles
while witnessin' a murder.
Come on, man, say something.
You got me buggin'.
Shh.
Come on, man, say something.
You got me buggin'.
What if that's not even him?
What if it's just a guy
who looks exactly like him?
What if it's his reflection?
Give me your jacket.
- What?
- Give me your jacket.
What are you doin'?
Get this off me!
Hey! Come on! Who's that?
Hey, hey, hey!
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
Does Rooster like surprises?
Yes, as long as you tell him first.
What's his favorite thing
to wake up to in the morning?
- Lunch.
- Is he a righty or a lefty?
Trick question. Neither.
What's his favorite sandwich?
Ice cream.
That painting we were gonna steal
just sold.
You guys aren't gonna believe how much.
Shh. Mom's givin' Wiggles
a wife test and she's killin' it.
The only thing that she got wrong was
my shoe size and I don't even know that.
Oh.
How do you keep Rooster from gettin'
a brain freeze after he drinks a Slurpee?
You don't. He loves brain freezes.
That's why he drinks Slurpees.
- What'd he wanna be when he grew up?
- Taller.
When he has a cough,
what kind of medicine does he
Grape for syrup, cherry for drops.
Nothing with menthol
or he gets nightmares that he's a dragon.
What's his biggest secret?
Promised I wouldn't tell.
Damn! I knew
he was hidin' something.
Let's take a break.
Babe, your mom is awesome.
She's doin' good, huh?
I haven't gotten to the hard questions.
She'll fail.
No one's takin' away my baby boy.
Hey, little guys.
Uh
Where's Jack?
Relax, man, we're cool.
Ain't nothin' a little Purple Urkle
couldn't smooth over.
Even got you two lovebirds
an engagement gift.
Gummies!
We're gonna get high, high,
high, high, high tonight ♪
Melvin, where's Jack?
In the garage.
Your hair smells like a dream I had once.
What?
Melvin, I think you better
go home and lay down.
Okay.
Tell Jack I'm gonna need
that truck back when he finished with it.
I also appreciate
a courtesy car wash
to get rid of
any forensic evidenceses.
Come on, this is crazy!
I didn't even know she was married!
Okay, I lied.
All right, I knew she was married.
But this is on you, dude.
If you don't want
your wife cheatin' on you,
then you shouldn't be
workin' night shifts at the hospital.
Plus, you're a nurse.
I mean, at least be a doctor.
I'm sayin' this to help you, all right?
I mean, bros over hoes, right?
Bros over hoes, dude!
You kidnapped someone?
Oh, not just someone.
Spike. That asshole snitch
who sent me to prison. Aha!
But, yeah, I kidnapped him.
Uh, I'm a kidnapper. Who knew?
Weed dealer, ex-con, failed art thief,
future bank robber, and now a kidnapper.
It's gonna be
one hell of an autobiography.
Okay, look, we can still fix this.
It sounds like he thinks you're some guy
whose wife he slept with.
We can just go dump him somewhere
and he'll never know
you had anything to do with this.
I think I like my plan better.
Okay, and what exactly is your plan, Jack?
Well, I was thinkin' about that
on the ride home.
The first thing that crossed my mind
was kill him,
- but that's crazy, right?
- Yes.
- Eh.
- I would.
So then I was thinkin' maybe I'll
just leave him in the back of the truck
for the next 26 years.
Ha. He's gonna get so cold
in the winter and hot in the summer.
Unfortunately, my parents are getting old.
I need to get to San Diego.
So, I don't have 26 more years to waste.
So, what then?
Prison.
I'm writing down all the things
I hated about prison.
We're gonna give old Spike
a little taste of all the shit
I had to deal with, thanks to him.
You're gonna torture him?
Yeah.
You guys went to prison,
feel free to add to the list.
I've never seen him like this.
Well, he had to snap sometime.
Twenty-six years in the slammer
for sellin' weed?
I'm surprised he's not
drillin' holes in the dude's head.
These things could be a lot worse.
Full-body cavity search
isn't even on here yet.
Okay
Number three'd be fun to watch.
All right, look,
I am not a fan of any of this,
but it's clear he has
some shit to work through.
If this will make him feel better,
then I guess we should help him with it.
Make sure he doesn't hurt the guy.
He's not gonna hurt him.
Jack's pissed, but he's not crazy.
Let's send this asshole to prison!
Welcome to hell.
Oh!
Welcome to hell.
Eat it!
Poop!
Johnny! I know you hear me, Johnny!
I know you took my shit, Johnny!
I know you can hear me, Johnny!
Eat a dick!
Eat a dick? You eat a dick!
Couldn't find a rat,
but I sweet-talked this little guy's mom
into loaning him to us.
Jack?
Jack, what are you doing?
You're gonna miss the possum thing.
You can do without me.
Without you?
We're only doin' this to help you.
My blender smells like dog food
and dead fish,
and that's gonna linger.
It's making you feel better, right?
It was at first, but, I don't know,
then I started gettin' angry again.
I had to let the possum go.
He was gettin' a bit nippy.
I'm not tastin' rabies,
so I hope he was just moody.
What do you mean,
it's making you angry again?
I don't know.
It just wasn't
It's not just Spike that did this to me.
Why isn't that asshole judge
in the back of the truck?
Why aren't the lawmakers who made
mandatory minimums for drug charges
in the back of the truck?
That shitty Public Defender,
the jail system, the parole board me.
I could've worked for
my uncle's lawn business, but no,
I decided to ride my skateboard all day
and sell weed 'cause it's easier.
Spike, the judge, everybody else,
they screwed me over,
but I'm the one who put myself
in a position to get screwed.
I ruined my life.
Oh, come on. What are you
talking about? You're out of prison.
And if I can figure out the rest
of the plan, you're gonna be rich.
You could probably afford to buy
a Dunkin' Donuts franchise if you want.
I'm gonna do that.
We could have 'em side by side.
Jack, your life is anything but ruined.
Fine. I ruined part of my life.
So what?
Everyone ruins part of their life.
I wasted three years trying to get through
the first semester of nursing school.
I had a mustache in the third grade
and I didn't do anything with that.
I wasted almost a year in prison
talking to some old guy
through the toilet who lied
and said he was 28.
Look, obviously,
we can't compete with you, okay?
When it comes to who ruined
most of their life, you win.
But you've got two choices.
You can keep
carrying around all this anger
and basically turn
your 26 years into a life sentence.
Or you can find a way
to start forgiving people.
Starting with yourself.
I'm not saying it'll be easy
or happen overnight,
but you'll never really be free
until you start letting things go.
Come on, Gloria.
You really love that kook, don't you?
More than anything.
Did you wanna ask her
more questions?
'Cause she's actually smarter
when she's high.
I think. I'm usually high, too.
Nah, we're done with the questions.
She passed.
Seriously?
Oh, Mom, thanks so much!
I know you had a lot of reasons
you didn't want us to be together.
Mm.
Well, it's like Gloria said,
sometimes you just gotta let things go.
Can I go tell her the good news?
In a second.
It's over.
No. No, please don't kill me!
I promise I won't go near your wife again!
No, I mean it's over. I forgive you.
But yeah,
stop sleepin' with married women!
Okay! I promise! Promise!
Run!
- Well
- Well
How do you feel?
Actually, a little bit better.
Hey, what happened with that auction?
How much is in that bank account
we're gonna get our hands on?
Oh, shit. Uh, with all the kidnapping
and torture, I forgot to tell you.
- Does that say
- 2.5 million, yeah.
Oh, my
Oh, my Oh!
We got problems.
Last night on the security cameras,
I heard the rich bitch
tell old wrinkly balls
that she has a meeting tomorrow morning
to find out which companies
will make the vaccine.
The housekeeper Lucia has a kid, right?
Hey, if you're thinkin'
of kidnappin' the kid
and askin' for the password
as ransom,
Gloria already shot that down.
I feel like we're close enough
to tell you that I shave my legs.
Good luck with your bank robbery.
