The Dress Up Gang (2019) s01e10 Episode Script

1
Hey, Cory.
Can you teach me how to dance?
- You don't know how to dance?
- Not a lick.
And I'm going
to the club tonight.
You and Frankie
go to the club all the time.
What do you normally do?
We usually hide out
in the VIP booth,
get bottle service,
catch a buzz.
And why can't you
just do that this time?
'Cause I'm going on a date,
and she loves to dance.
She's incredible.
I think she's a pro.
I'm screwed can you
teach me how to dance or what?
Okay, now, calm down.
Just dancing's
a very personal thing, pal.
I got no rhythm.
All right.
I'll tell you what,
why don't you go upstairs?
And I'll come up
in a few minutes,
and I'll teach you how to dance.
You're a life saver.
I'm gonna go warm up.
Oh, boy.
"Hey, pal.
This movie should be able
to answer all your questions
about dancing.
Just skip the ballet parts
and pay attention to
where Derek teaches Sara
hip-hop moves."
Hey, boss.
You want to come
inside for lunch
Teach me how to dance.
You don't know how to dance?
I got two left feet
and no rhythm.
I just
really think you should be
talking to Cory about this.
Well, I did,
but he just gave me this.
- Jesus.
- Here's the thing.
I'm going to the club
tonight with Susie Selby.
Susie
with the thick thighs?
I know how much
you like that girl.
Please?
Teach me how to move, sister.
I just don't
feel like it's my place.
I'm sorry.
Sure, I could show you
a move or two.
Even just one move
would help, brother.
Okay.
So.
What I like to do is
Rachel, could you
help me demonstrate in here?
We're trying to
show Donny how to dance.
- Oh, great.
- So come on in.
I, uh, I extend my arms outward.
The club can be a wild place, so
I form a sort of
protective shield.
Gives her a place to feel safe
to go buck wild.
Is that making sense?
Yeah.
All right, Donny, you try.
Okay.
Rachel, you don't seem
like you're going buck wild.
Is everything okay, honey?
I'm I'm trying.
I want to see you
go buck wild with Donny.
I want to go buck wild.
Something's stopping me.
It's like it's just different.
Pause.
Donny, I'm
afraid this dance move
might not be for you.
I think since you're
not almost 6'3" like me
and your shoulders
aren't as broad,
you kind of box her in.
All right, Donny,
here's my dance move.
All right?
The club is packed.
I just ease my way in.
I go straight to the bar.
Hold two fingers up.
Bartender gives me two drinks.
He knows what's up.
And I just look for two ladies.
Oh, here you go.
Boom.
Boom.
Make eye contact.
And then I go right back
to the bar.
Two more please.
He gives me two more.
And I just do this all night.
All right, this is
an advanced move.
Check it out.
It goes like this.
What am I doing?
Round of drinks.
On me!
Everybody's having fun.
On your dime.
That's what's up.
Is that pretty expensive?
It's like, 500, 600 bucks.
"Save The Last Dance"?
Really?
Whoa, Andie, you're coming in
a little hot right now.
Your roommate doesn't
know how to dance,
and this is how you try to help?
Donny is going to the club
tonight with Susie Selby.
Sweet Susie Selby?
Sweet Susie Selby
with the thick thighs,
as thick as your skull.
Well, I mean, maybe I
got the wrong movie?
I could go get "Dirty Dancing 2:
Havana Nights."
He doesn't need to
learn to dance from a movie.
You need to teach him.
Andie, I wouldn't even
know what to tell him.
Oh, come on.
We both know you can dance.
You went to Burning Man.
Yeah, I did.
And he can't learn
from Christian or Kevin
or, God forbid, Brent.
Brent, thanks for
coming by on short notice.
I'm gonna cut to the chase.
I can't dance.
So what's the problem?
Well, I'm going to the club
tonight with Susie Selby.
- I need to learn how.
- How to what?
- Look like a buster?
- Huh?
Look, dancing is wack.
And when you do it,
you look like a buster.
Well, I don't want
to look like a buster.
Should I just not
go to the club?
No, no, you go to the club.
- You just don't dance.
- So what do I do?
Well, you walk around
and act like
you're better
than everyone else.
Which you are, because
they're the ones dancing
- and dancing is
- Fundamentally wack.
Check.
Here my no-dance moves.
Put your hand on
your belt buckle.
And you mad-dog.
"Mad-dog."
- Then it's post-up time.
- Slow down, Brent.
You stand next to the DJ.
Put your hand in the air.
Pet the horsey on the head.
Why are you petting
the horsey on the head?
Been a good horsey.
He ate all his oats.
Yo, but check this.
Most importantly,
you never smile.
Actually, that's
the second most important thing.
What's the most important thing?
Never dance?
- Check.
- Check.
Squirt.
What's up?
Listen, uh,
I want to apologize for
not teaching you
how to dance earlier.
Shouldn't have gotten you a DVD.
Oh, don't even worry. I just
found out dancing's wack.
So I'm just gonna mad-dog
and pat the horsey on the head.
Dancing is not wack.
You're just
going about it all wrong.
I want you to call Susie.
Tell her you'll be
a little bit late,
that you'll meet her
inside the club.
I'm gonna teach you
how to dance.
All right, pal, just
watch what I do
and try to follow along.

I left the backdoor open ♪

I'm on the back porch

You'll take me away ♪
Ooh, okay, so now
we're in the build-up, okay?
So what's gonna happen
is the beat's gonna drop.
And when it drops, we
gotta lose our shit, all right?
- I ain't ready, Cor'.
- Can't be holding on

Gotta let go, okay?

Hey, pal.
What are you doing home
from the club so early?
The bouncer didn't
let me into the club
'cause I was wearing
my yellow shirt.
I see.
Well.
The club that doesn't let you
in wearing your favorite shirt
is probably not a club you
want to go to anyway, pal.
I just really wanted
to try my new dance moves.
Anyways.
Good night, Cor'.
Good night, pal.
I can't pretend ♪
Hey.
What's going on here?
Oh, only the hottest
nightclub in Los Angeles.
It's a great place
to try out new dance moves.
You got any?
Bet your ass I do.
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
whoa-whoa-whoa.
We got a very strict dress code.
Not again.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm afraid
we can't let you in
unless you're wearing a
cool yellow T-shirt.
Damn it.
I just put mine
in the washing machine.
Well, I
guess you can't come in then.
Susie!
Donny!
Whoa, back up.
Oh.
I told you, you gotta
be wearing a yellow T-shirt.
Susie's wearing one.
I I'll tell you what.
Just wait right here.
I'll be right back.

"Dear Frankie,
"Something very strange
is happening,
"and I need your help.
"It all started last week.
"I had come home
from the club with a date.
"Cory was asleep on the couch,
and he accidentally
"kicked his sheet off,
exposing his dinger.
"It was an embarrassing
situation for all of us.
"So I bought him
his first cell phone.
"That way I could warn him
when I was
"coming home with a date.
"I would text him"
"And Cory would reply back
'K' and cover up with a sheet.
"And he'd always
respond like that,
"short and to the point.
"You know, what
you'd expect from Cory.
"But tonight,
he sent me a message
"unlike anything
he's ever sent before"
"Frank,
you gotta read this thing."
"Hey pal.
I just wanted to say, I really
cherish our friendship"?
Cory sent this?
Do you think he
sat on his phone and
just auto-filled
a bunch of words
that coincidentally
made a sentence that
sounded like a nice thing
a friend would say?
What do you think's going on?
Hey, Cory?
Yeah?
Are you drunk?
Nope.
Try writing him back.
See what he says.
Should I just tell him
I cherish our friendship too?
I mean, I do.
Yeah.
"Hello, Cory.
Thank you for the text."
That's good, right?
"I cherish our friendship
also."
He's writing back.
Oh, what'd he say?
"Great to see Frankie.
"He's such a special person.
"We're both lucky
to have him in our lives."
- This is buh-cuckoo.
- Fo' sho'.
Hey, Cor'?
Yeah?
We got your text.
Okay.
Well, thanks for sending them.
I also really
cherish our friendship and
I'm glad you've been crashing
on my couch for a while now and
I really enjoy
spending time with you.
Yeah, and Cory,
thanks for saying I'm special.
Uh, I'm really lucky
to have you in my life too.
Okay.
"Frankie has such cool style.
I need him to take me
shopping sometime. LOL."
What the hell is going on here?
Give me the phone.
"Frankie here.
I'll take you shopping."
It's like texting allows him
to say the things he thinks
but can't say in person.
Maybe he's had these thoughts
in him all along, and he just
couldn't express himself until
the phone came into his life.
What a trip.
Looks like checkmate.
Good game, pal, you got me.
Damn, that was close.
All right, well,
I should probably hit the sack.
Okay.
Riot ♪
- Good night, Cory.
- All right, yeah.
Get out of here.
I need to get some sleep.
Hey, Cory?
Yo?
Is your phone on silent?
Oh, you know what?
I accidentally broke it.
Dropped it in the toilet
this morning.
Still in there if
you want to fish it out.
You can put it in a bag of rice.
Throw back
a bottle of beer ♪

Cory?
Throw back

Cory?
A whipped up jitterbuggin'
brown-eyed man ♪
"Donny, I'm still here.
"Bummer about my cell phone.
"It was really nice
texting with you.
"And I still have something
I want to tell you,
"something big.
"I don't know how to do it
"without the cell phone, but
maybe this will help."
Oh! ♪
Hey, Cory?
I've made something for you.
Try it on.
Initiating.
Cory, are you there?
Cory?
Yes, Donny, I'm here.
You built this much faster
than I expected.
Why did you
have me build this?
When I was texting you,
I found myself
able to be so open
to communicate.
I wondered why.
And I realized
it's because
when you can't see someone,
when they can't hear your voice,
you're not so vulnerable,
and you're free to say
whatever you'd like.
When my phone died, I thought,
"What if I had
some sort of device
"that could cover my eyes
"and change the way
my voice sounds?
"Perhaps I could communicate
as openly as I desire."
Do you mind if we film this
to reflect on later?
No, I think that's
a wonderful idea.
Oh, hey, Frank.
Didn't know you were here.
Hey, Cor'.
The other night, you had
something you wanted to tell me.
What was it?
Come on.
The sunlight looks beautiful
coming over
the tops of the mountains.
Hey, sport?
Pull over here, please.
What's going on, Donny?
I don't know, but he's
gonna tell me something big.
I wonder why he brought us here.
I got you guys a hot dog.
They're a little dry,
but don't worry.
I got some ketchup, mustard.
There's even relish.
Mmm.
All right, squirt.
Let's park right here.
Just leave it there.
It's fine. Let's go.
Ah, sh
Well, I suppose this is
as good a place as any.
So, you've been letting me
crash on your couch
for quite some time.
You've given me
food, water, shelter.
You've been a good roommate,
a good friend.
And yet, as close as we are,
there's something
I've never told you,
something I've been
wanting to tell you
for a really long time.
Donny, what I've always
wanted to tell you is
Error. Error.
What?
Oh, no.
The battery's running low.
Donny, what's going on?
There's a red flashing light
in the helmet.
Cory, the battery!
Just say it!
Okay, so what
I've always want
to say to you
Cory, hurry, spit it out!
What I've always wanted
What do you want to tell me?
Hurry!
Systems offline.
Thank you.
You're my boy.
