Underemployed (2012) s01e12 Episode Script

1 You have to tell Todd you just slept with Miles.
Why? - Who are you talking to? - Nobody.
Is there something you're not telling me? - Dude, you're in love.
- I am in love, dude.
- What do you think I should do? - Wouldn't it just be better - if you guys could stay together? - We are together, we're just not together.
- Sophia has finished her first book! - It's about all of us and our flaws.
- Because I don't trust you anymore - Daphne? What happened? My father is dead! Well, that was the saddest thing I've ever experienced, - ever.
- Yeah, right? - Thank you for playing.
- Of course.
Of course.
It was an honor.
We couldn't live the life we're living if drew hadn't lived the life he lived.
Thanks for saying that.
- Bye, sweetie.
- Okay.
- Doing okay? - No.
Daph After the wake, where would you want to go if you could go anywhere? Anywhere? - hey.
- Hola.
What's on your mind? I never thought I'd be so tied up to someone else so soon.
Yeah.
I would love to be tied up.
- Oh, girl.
- No, not like that.
I mean Sophia thinks I'm, like, this tragic figure that just sells her life down the river every time a man comes into the picture, but I believe in love.
What's so wrong with that? Nothing's wrong with that.
But, you know, if you want love, baby, you're gonna have to choose somebody.
Dude, you you've done it with Miles.
- Yeah.
- Oh! Comon! Todd asked you to move in with him.
You're full speed ahead on the love train.
It just seems to me like you're gonna have to pick one.
Um, you want a drink? No, I'm good.
- Yeah, go talk to her.
- Okay.
- Your turn.
- My turn.
Buy you a drink? Sophia, I have no energy to make you feel better right now and no desire to do so.
I know that you're upset with what I wrote about you.
Leave me alone.
Can't we just sit like we always do and talk about it? No, you took who I am, dragged it out into the middle of the street and stomped on it just to get attention from people that you don't even know.
I didn't do it to get attention.
I don't really care why you did it.
I care about what you did, which was criticize me in front of the entire world.
I wasn't criticizing.
I was just trying to tell a story.
"You can tell a story without stopping to say, "hey, everybody, look at how much this person sucks.
" Why would I stay friends with you after you said that? Why? No.
Just, no.
Dude, life's too short.
I'm gonna get raviva back.
Isn't she hanging out with jamel? I don't know, and I don't care.
I'm gonna break up with bekah.
I'm gonna go back to Dr.
Cameron and get into that frickin' architecture program, then I'm gonna get raviva back.
It's happening.
It's happening! - Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- I've got an idea.
- Okay.
Does it have anything to do destroying alien ships, because I am sorely out of practice.
No, I'm gonna quit the madura - gig and go to Milan.
- What? - Milan, Italy? - Yeah.
That's insane-balls.
I know it's insaneballs, but it's insane-balls I used to believe in.
I'm gonna sell all my stuff, put together whatever cash I can, and go.
And I want you to come with me.
Think about it.
Good luck.
I'm really sorry about drew.
Thanks.
- Do you guys feel that? - What? The earth is is spinning.
You're too drunk-let's go.
- No, I'm not.
- You all right? Dude, you're drunk.
No, no, no, no.
At this latitude, it's spinning, like, 1,000 Miles an hour.
Time is passing, you guys.
In honor of daph's brother, in honor of Rosemary, in honor Of life - We need to live! - Agreed.
Truth.
I don't remember where we parked.
Let's go, big guy.
You don't understand, daph.
Miles is getting on a plane and going to a place where nobody talks English and no one knows he's a Miles.
He's either gonna end up homeless or in the center of an international sex scandal.
You're really worried about him, aren't you? Yeah, I am.
You have to go with him.
Do you really think he's gonna go? Daph, he's selling all his stuff at your house today, isn't he? Like, garage-sale style, isn't - he? - Yeah, but I thought that maybe He bought the plane tickets.
Tickets? Plural? Yeah.
Yeah, he bought two plane tickets with a new credit card.
He's really gonna do this.
Miles is in love with you.
You're in love with him.
And there may never be another chance to do anything this absurd again.
Five years from now, you'll be old and predictable And old.

Thank you, man.
So I really appreciate you stopping by to help the cause, but I'm not quite sure what I've got here you'd want to buy.
Kickball - Aqua socks - What's this? Oh, yeah.
I meant to put that away.
It's not for sale.
What is it? It's just a thing my mom gave me when I left home.
I can't believe you left home when you were 14.
- It's beautiful.
- Thanks.
- How much for the kickball? - 5 bucks.
- I'll give you 20.
- Soph, you don't have a job.
Come on, just take it.
Take it.
Someday, hopefully, I'm gonna do something equally crazy, and you - can get me back.
- Sounds good.
I'm so proud of you for following your dreams.
I mean, you were a good Tequila salesperson, but you make an amazing Miles.
Hey.
You got a second? For you, Louis? Always.
And here's the truly sick part.
Since your dad hasn't filled the position above us, there's nothing to do.
I've gotten so tired of micromanaging my pinterest page, that I've actually started to choose to do work.
Like, I find things that are good for the company, and I do them, by choice.
You think I'm insane, right? Not at all.
I think you're perfect.
- But? - But I'm going through a lot of stuff right now, and I've come to the conclusion that I want to put things back together with veev, so I have to stop hanging out with you.
- I'm really sorry.
- It's okay.
If I had been single when we met, I'm sure we'd be together - Lou - Because you are perfect.
- You are.
- Louis, it's okay.
You live your life, and I'll live mine.
Bekah? Bekah! So what's going on? When you called, it sounded like we were going to have a serious talk, so I wore my serious - t-shirt.
- Serious, indeed.
I want to start a band.
You and me? Kind of, like, the kills? Nope.
You, me, keyboardist, bass, maybe another guitar.
If I want to start playing in clubs that pay decent, I have to have a bigger sound.
I think it's a great idea.
But you have to know that at some point, if we work together, whatever romantic relationship we have could possibly end.
- Yeah, that'd be fine.
- It would? Jamel, when I graduated college, I had this weird plan in my head that I was gonna make it in music, and I was gonna do it on my own.
And events took a turn, and it's great.
It is, but I have to get back to that plan me, music, "momhood.
" So is that a "yes"? It's a "hell, yes.
" Sweet.
Cool.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You wanted to see me? - Yeah.
So the funeral was ok? Yeah.
I'm sorry that I asked you not to come.
I didn't want my dad it's fine.
I-I understood.
- Thanks.
- Have you Given any thought to the idea of moving in with me? - I - I'm getting the sense it's not feeling like a slam dunk.
I think - We should break up.
- Why? Because I am at a place In my life right now where I need to do what's right for me.
And, um Being in a relationship With you - Is not it.
- Are you sure? Yeah.
What? I'm just trying to remember - your face.
- Well We'll see each other again.
No, we won't.
I mean, yeah, we might see each other in lobbies if we're pitching the same client, maybe see each other at restaurants around town, but the little room we go in when we look at each other We'll never be back here again.
- I'm sorry.
- Me too.
I've got to get back to work.
Bye.
Well, well, well Look who's back My little Terminator.
Something to say? - Can we come in? - Sure.
So, when you offered me the chance to make my song a co-write with pixie, I might have overreacted.
- Mm-hmm.
- It just wasn't the way I wanted it to go down.
It took me a beat to see it might still be a good thing.
So you've come to your sense.
I'm assuming you just have one.
Funny.
- Yeah.
- Look, here's the deal.
If you still like the song, I'll let pixie record it.
But I get full credit as a writer.
Moving forward, I will share credit with pixie on whatever song we write together.
I'll even write one for her and let her have the full credit.
I get how these things work, but that song, message, is mine.
Deal? - Okay, deal.
- Cool.
You are gonna make pixie one very happy little weirdo.
She really digs you.
I really dig her too.
- Are you really gay? - Uh-huh.
Dr.
Cameron, I get why you don't want to let me into the program.
I get that it's gonna be a massive amount of work.
More than massive - fine.
- Impossible.
Fine.
But I have to keep my job.
I have to pay my bills, and I also have to get into this - program.
- Why? Because I have a little girl named Rosemary.
And she's gonna be stuck on this planet long after I'm gone.
I want it to be a good world for her to grow up in and for her kids to grow up in.
I want to make a difference, and I want to make a living.
I know a lot of people your age think that my generation is entitled, but I don't think that's too much to ask.
Let me think about it.
Thank you.
- What's the special occasion? - You.
- Me? - Yeah, um I don't really know how to say this, so I'm just I'm just gonna say it.
When you showed up pregnant, the worst side of me kicked in, and I totally forgot who I was.
You were right about everything.
And I know now that you're the other half of me.
I don't know why I've been treating you like my enemy when you're really my best friend.
I know that we've had our troubles.
I know I screwed up, cheating with bekah, but I broke up with her, and I've re-applied to grad - school - Lou.
I want you to give me another chance.
I want you to give Give us another chance.
I love you.
I don't want to be apart from you.
I love you.
I love you, too Very much.
And I Nothing would have made me happier than all three of us to have been able to work this out.
I think it's been going well.
I was actually thinking Because we're broken up.
When two people get along best when they're not a couple, that's It it's called being friends.
I think we're more than friends.
We're not.
And I'd I'd rather us be functional friends than a dysfunctional family.
Lou, I'm moving out.
What's going on? You went shopping.
- Shh.
Shh.
- Okay.
Voglio andare a Milano con lei.
- What? - Voglio "I want.
" - Okay, you want.
Andare "To go.
" You want to go? A Milano con lei.
You want to go to Milan with me? Mm-hmm.
Are you frickin' kidding me? No.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait, can we see the last supper? Yeah, yeah, of course.
It's a painting.
- I-I know.
- And can we go to an a.
C.
Milan game? Whatever you want.
And drew always wanted to go to Paris.
Can we go there on June 15th for him? It's his birthday.
Definitely.
Thank you.
Oh, my God! What? We have got to have a party.
What the hell is this? A letter of resignation.
Why are you giving it to me? Because I'm quitting.
- No, you're not.
- Yes, I am.
No, you're not.
Miles quit, which is fine.
I will find another vapid man-slut to hawk that swill, but you are not quitting this job.
Yes, I am.
It says so right here.
Are you quitting because Keith didn't jump up and lick your face like a puppy when you pitched him the Japan of it all? No.
Then why are you quitting? I thought that if I You know what? Don't tell me.
I don't care.
Okay.
What do you think you're gonna do in this dead-ass market? Well, I - you know what? Don't tell me.
You are making a very big mistake quitting this job, Daphne.
- Do you know why? - Um Because you have potential.
You could do so well in this business, and I was prepared to help you do that.
But I guess I'm not gonna play the role of mentor or partner or friend.
I'm just gonna be someone who teaches you a lesson you'll never forget, which is this work is not a game.
You're not in college anymore.
Grow up.
You want your job back yet? A little.
Good, 'cause you can't have it.
You quit.
Live with it.
Get out.
To Daphne and Miles! Viva italia! So romantic.
What can I say? I just want you guys to know that I'm gonna miss you both very much, but I'm so happy that you found each other in this new way and you're doing this amazing insane-balls - thing.
And I just hope that you'll come back and visit someday.
After he appears in five magazine covers, we'll come back to visit.
To Miles and Daphne.
Hear, hear! Hey, hey, what're you gonna do while Miles is shopping his ass around town? I think I'll shop my ass around town, you know.
I'm gonna be in Milan after all, and I'm sure I can find a couple nice things to wear.
I'll drink to that.
To Miles and Daphne.
- Hear, hear.
- Miles and Daphne.
Yes.
Are you still moving out? Mmhmm.
- soon as I find a new place.
- Why? Because there's just not enough left to start a fire again.
I mean, we tried so many times.
It just doesn't seem to work.
Veev, can we talk a second? Yeah.
Is everything okay? - I got in.
- Got in what? The environmental design program.
Cameron just called.
I got in.
Oh, my God, that's amazing.
I start in two weeks.
That's so great.
I'm I hope it's okay that I told you.
"I just got the news, and I thought, "who else would I tell?" Right.
No, I'm-I'm glad.
That's I'm so proud of you.
Okay.
I'm really proud of you.
Okay.
Cool.
You love wearing white, so maybe you're a chef.
News flash chef's work hard.
Pixie, can I steal Daphne for a sec? Yeah, sure.
I need to find veeva anyway.
I have this idea about a song.
It's about a party.
Toodles.
Why didn't you te me? That I was writing about you or what I was writing? Why didn't you tell me what you were writing? Because I thought that if I showed it to you, you'd say that I couldn't use it.
- You're right.
- I know.
Why were you so mean? Because you scare me a little.
I don't understand that.
Why? The way you live The way you make so much happen.
Look at you, Daphne.
You're off and out to Milan.
You quit your job.
And you had Todd, and now you've got Miles.
What's wrong with that? Nothing.
But it makes me feel what? What? Sometimes it makes Me feel You know why they call animals animals? Because they're animated.
They move.
Do you know why they call plants plants? Because they're planted.
They can't move.
I love you, Daphne, but sometimes You make me feel like a plant.
I don't mean to do that.
I know.
But I think when I wrote what I wrote, deep down It was a part of me that wanted to get back at you for that feeling, even though it wasn't your fault.
And I'm sorry.
You You really hurt me.
I'm sorry.
Will you just tell me one thing? What? Do you really think that I turn into a walking tragedy of self-destruction every time a guy tells me he wants me? Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you For being honest.
I really missed you.
I've missed you too.
- She okay? - Yeah.
What's the matter? Nothing's the matter.
I'm just, um I'm really proud of you.
Thank you.
It's just the thought that you're going to be doing all that stuff without me just Makes me really sad, that's all.
I mean Who else is gonna know how much you wanted this, you know? Who's gonna wake up in the middle of the night and find you sketching and reading and know all the books and lectures and beers and fights that went into it, you know? I mean, you were gonna be the musician.
You were gonna be, like, the next Jack Johnson.
Remember? That morning sky Gave me a look This is it, soph chapter one of your next freakin' Tome "Miles and Daphne go to Italy.
" Pasta ensues.
I don't think I'm gonna be writing for a while.
- What? What are you gonna do? - Get animated.
- Sounds like you have a plan.
- I do.
Just don't change too much.
I still need you to be Sophia when I come back.
I can't make you any promises.

They're the gateway meat.

Okay.
Quick pit stop.

Well, like most authors, I've always felt a great earning for the sea.
I guess there's something about that vast, emptiness of sky, you know? And that elegant horizon line that cuts across one's field of - vision.
- Are you a puker? - Excuse me? - Do you puke? Do you get seasick? I'm not sure.
I mean, I don't care? I mean, no, of course not.
Okay you're hired.

- What? - I can't go.
I can't.
What are you talking about? Everything that Sophia wrote about me in her book, it's right.
I love you.
But I cannot keep choosing men over and over again.
I have to choose myself for once.
I don't know what to say.
I can't believe you're doing this, daph.
Are you boarding or not? Just One second.
Daph, 'm not gonna stand here and beg you to come, because it's just gonna make me very mad, okay? Just do me one favor.
Take this.
Miles, no, that's your mother's.
If that stands for your heart, I can't hold it.
Daph, it's yours.
I want you to keep it, okay? Let it be yours.
Milan Is my dream.
I know that.
You need to live yours.
I get it.

If you change your mind Meet me there.
- Okay? - Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
I bet you they come back married.
It's Miles and Daphne.
They'll probably get married, get divorced, and then come back remarried.
Well, someone in this group has to get married someday, I guess.
Maybe it'll be them.
Are you guys getting back together? - I don't know.
- Lou? Okay, we won't jinx it.
Look what I found.
