Full Circle (2013) s01e10 Episode Script
Celeste & Tim
Ah! There she is.
Bonjour.
- Bonjour.
- How are you? - I'm fine.
- You look well.
- Thank you.
- Sorry to keep you waiting like this.
The roads were a nightmare, and each one was as bad.
- So I apologize.
- It's all right, my dear.
One can never be sure, not ever.
That is the mystery of life.
- That's so French.
- What is? That sort of, you know, existential attitude you've got, even about traffic in L.
A.
"One can never be sure.
" Oh, very good, mon cher.
No.
But you know I'm right.
It is a very French thing to say.
Perhaps.
That too.
Especially when you're wrong, you don't tell the other person that they may be right.
You just say "perhaps.
" Perhaps.
You already know me too well, even after just 10 minutes together and after so long.
Ah, not really.
It's just a year.
Is that all? Yes.
About that, anyway.
It was this time last December that I went back home.
It goes so quickly these days.
Yes.
Anyway, it's the holidays.
That's why the roads are so jammed up.
So, sorry again.
So, what's new with you? Oh, I'm fine.
Good, good.
And your son? What was his name again? - Robbie.
- Robbie.
That's it.
Yes.
He is well.
His birthday was recently.
He's a teenager, so he's dealing with all of that.
Hey.
That's great.
What did you get him? Sorry? For a present, I mean.
Oh.
You know, this and that.
Always so secretive, you are.
A little, perhaps.
I suppose that's a French thing as well, is it? No.
No.
That is just me being a woman, I think.
Yes.
Yeah.
That's true.
So, um, what about you? What's going on in your life? Uh, just things.
You're taunting me now, being as coy as myself.
Never.
Never.
I could never compete.
I know.
That is probably very true.
Well, then I won't.
M I'm back here for a while.
Uh-huh.
I'm not sure, actually.
The woman I'm seeing, uh, she was married before, and her ex was killed - in a plane crash.
- Oh.
I'm so sorry.
Yes.
Yes.
Me too.
It's it's awful.
He had two very sweet children, and I don't know.
Looks like they're going to be heading back to their grandparents on the east coast, I believe.
But for now, Bridgette's jumped in and volunteered to be with them, help them, you know, just try and do whatever she can do.
Family agreed, so here I am, following her back here, where we first met.
She used to be their nanny, so Ah.
Interesting.
It's funny how these things happen, how they connect.
What's that? Nothing.
Just how life goes in these odd little circles sometimes, you know? That's true enough.
Little swirls.
Well, at least it worked its magic to bring us back together for a bit to talk about books again and flirt and enjoy today.
Yes.
That's true enough.
Although I, uh - What's that? - I can't do much flirting, not anymore.
I, uh - No? - I Like I said, I'm with someone now, so, you know - How nice.
- Yeah.
- So am I.
- Oh, yes? A younger man, if I know you.
So, this woman of yours do you love her? More than anyone I've ever known, yes.
- But then again, you are very young.
- Ah.
- That's true.
Very true.
- Yes.
It's not a crime, just a reality.
You're absolutely right.
But I do love her, Celeste.
And It looks like we might be having a baby together.
It's early days, now.
Oh, no.
So soon? No.
I, uh it's It's quite complicated.
It almost happened before, actually, uh Anyway, that's the story.
- I only just found out myself, so - Mm.
Then I'm very happy for you, Tim.
Thank you.
Thank you.
A and you? And you're well? Uh, what's what's going on? Are you still teaching? Oh, yes.
Always that.
- Good.
- The children.
Yes.
Good.
Me too.
I I mean, I will be when I get back home.
Although if Bridgette and I do get married anytime soon, then well, anytime, then I guess I'll be able to teach here as well.
We've barely discussed it, but who knows? Who knows? Life is so long and filled with god, so many choices.
It feels like it's never going to get going sometimes.
And yet it's also like that sometimes as well fleeting.
That's very true.
Hey.
You're supposed to wash your hands when you finish taking a shit.
You should know that, being a piece of shit yourself.
What the fuck are you doing here? I thought I was pretty clear when I talked - to you la - This.
This is what I'm doing here.
Wait.
Please.
- Just don't do anything, okay? - Wash your hands.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
There.
You see? Is that all right? It's good.
Everybody shut up! Shut the fuck up.

What should we do? Celeste? Let's just do what he says for now.
Let them go.
What? Some some of them.
Please, just At least all the women! They haven't done anything to you! How do you know that? You do not know my life, asshole, so you shut the fuck up right now and keep your arms wrapped around your wife.
See if that keeps her safe.
- Please, okay?! - Oh fuck "please.
" Fuck "Please"! I've said "please.
" I have said "please" plenty of times.
I said it to that shithead I just killed in the bathroom.
He said it to me.
Didn't do a goddamn thing either time.
Fuck "Please.
" Oh, to hell with it.
No.
Hey, remember me? - No.
- You're lying! Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Of course you do.
You remember how you used to make fun of me? Remember the songs that I'd write? - I didn't - Bullshit you didn't! I walked in here one time and I saw you over there, and you were singing my songs for your buddies, making them laugh.
- Remember that? - No.
Yes.
I do.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
Good.
Everybody shut up! Facedown! Heads facedown! So Here we are now.
