Single Drunk Female (2022) s01e10 Episode Script

What are we drinking to? Mm, we should drink to me.
Yeah, 'cause I just finished a year's probation, and my ex-best friend finally saw the light and invited me to her stupid wedding.
And, uh Oh, yeah.
I got, uh, my one-year chip.
Mmm.
- What are you looking at? - Eighth grade.
That was such a tough year for you.
Yeah, well, the bangs.
Yeah, well, they are violently irregular.
- I looked like a troll.
- I know.
Kids can be so appropriately cruel.
- I got this.
- No, no, no, come on, man.
Well, it's not like I don't owe you, okay? I left you high and dry when I kicked the bucket.
One could argue that I left you high and dry in the weeks and months leading up to you kicking said bucket.
Uh, years, actually.
Was it years? It was years.
Dad? I'm here.
I can't see your face.
Well, maybe you ought to watch what you're drinking.
Oh, shit.
I'm drinking.
- But I really want to see you.
- You can't.
This is a classic alcoholic anxiety dream.
I quit smoking 20 years ago and I still dream about it.
The good news is this means that things are going well.
Of course, the bad news is that I'm still dead.
Hey, don't let your mom date anyone.
Okay? I mean, uh, you know, unless it's, like, Pierce Brosnan.
That I would get.
You know.
The guy's a smoke show.
She doesn't stand a chance in hell with Pierce Brosnan.
- I think that's why I chose him.
- Yeah.
Don't let her date Pierce Brosnan, - I changed my mind.

You're done.
Congratulations.
Go revel in your freedom.
Sure you don't want me to, like, pee in a cup, for old time's sake? What is happening? - Do you enjoy probation, Samantha? - No.
No, it's just weird.
I've seen you every week for, like, however many weeks are in a year.
52.
Weeks, yeah.
I think I'm gonna miss you.
Well, tell you what, if you are desperate to see me, I will be at your mom's book club.
It's a trial period.
And they are on trial.

Got it.
So is today gonna be hard for you because of Joel? I don't know.
Um, I don't think so.
Bringing a nice guy helps.
I can't wait to meet him.

Oh.
Okay, got it.
Thank you.
I feel so seen.
Any word from James? I'm sure he will be here any minute.
Is this a bad sign? Is he not reliable? You can be late and be reliable.
Yes, of course.
Of course you can.
And he's done all that work.
Right? So, yes, of course.
He is reliable.
You know what? Just in case.
You're giving me your keys? You got your license back.
Thank you.
Just Fill it, give it a wash.
- You got it.
- Thank you.
Yeah.
- See you.
- Yeah, bye.
Oh, my God, stop texting.
Okay? I know you're out of practice.
Just say what you mean once nothing is worth a paragraph.
Nothing.
No, I know, it's just it's weird, you know? He's really not the type to ghost, so He'll make it or he won't.
Either way, there's a silver lining.
- What's that? - This is great for me.
I actually still don't know if I'm supposed to be here, so I'm gonna just cling to you like a barnacle.
What do you mean? You said she invited you.
Yes, technically, when she was under the influence - of some pretty gnarly stuff, so - Right.
- Well, well, - Okay.
- Well.
- James.
What nerve.
Hey, don't take him back.
Actually, do what you want.
I don't care.
- Hey, hey.
- Oh, my God, where were you? Oh, my God, I got rear-ended by some real piece of work, and then I was waiting for insurance, the tow truck was late All kinds of stupid stuff.
Oh, my God.
Are you okay? Did you get hurt? I-I'm fine, a little shook up.
Too shook up to text? Hi.
I should have, but I was just racing to get here, 'cause I didn't want to miss this, my God.
Okay, well, I'm just glad you're okay.
For the record, I did not like that, though.
I was very scared and very worried.
- We all were.
- I'm sorry.
Well, I'm gonna go see if my name is at the singles table.
Do you want to banish me there, too? It's totally fine, - I don't mind.
- Have you seen yourself in this suit? You're not going anywhere near the singles table.
Hi, guys.
Samantha.
Uh, so, I was just spreading the word.
We're actually running a little behind on, like, backstage stuff.
So while we just try and take care of things, we're gonna go on ahead and get the hors d'oeuvres going so you don't starve before the ceremony, okay? - Does that include drinks? - Yes, lots of drinks, and I'll be back soon, hopefully.
What the hell did she mean by that? I don't know.
I think I should go find Brit.
Here.
No.
People are gonna think we're together.
All right.
- She's here.
She's here.
- Oh, my God.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Thank you for coming.
Honestly, it was an emergency.
Sure.
Always on call, even when I'm technically not on the schedule and been, you know, my first day off in three weeks, so Is that the dress? I'm not-I'm not looking.
Ooh, but I want to kiss you.
- Okay, go, go.
- Yes, absolutely.
So, what is the problem? Well, you know, the dress doesn't fit.
- Oh, it does.
- No.
We had four fittings, I have a picture of your boobs etched in my brain.
Um, not in a creepy way.
You know, just look at this.
Oh, yeah, well, you just need to zip it up.
- Okay, well, all right - Oh, no, - no, stop.
Oh, stop.
Ooh.
- But This time, you're gonna suck it all in when I say "suck it.
" - Okay, that's not my favorite.
- Okay.
But suck it.
There you go.
Yeah, see? Fits perfectly.
- And you look - Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Just unzip it.
Unzip it, - unzip it, please, unzip it, unzip it.
- Okay, okay.
Let me guess: you want to blame the dress 'cause you're scared.
You see your future, wedded, and it's crushing all the air out of your lungs, like you're some character in Manifest and this dress is the calling from the universe you can't ignore.
Otherwise, why did you survive? The plane disappeared for five years, and then here you are, and ev I'm sorry, what? Oh.
Manifest.
Great show.
Uh, but if you haven't watched it, this totally doesn't work here.
You know, what, I can't-I can't breathe.
Yeah, you can't breathe because your side boobs are being scooped up and mashed together to make one big glorious front boob.
That's it.
There's no deeper reason than that.
- It's painful.
- There are hundreds of people downstairs, waiting to take photos of you, and you look beautiful.
So, you ready to suck it up and suck it? I don't like it when you say it like that, but yes.
Okay.
Go.
Suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it, - suck it, suck it, suck it, suck - Oh, my God! - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- Okay, all right.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, I am not equipped to deal with this.
I'm supposed to be on a hike.
I hate hiking, but it is better than this garbage.
Also, your ahi tuna cones are bad.
Like, people are gonna get food poisoning.
So you might want to look into that.
