Related (2005) s01e15 Episode Script

Previously on "Related" Is Ginnie okay? Ginnie's good, but the baby Oh, my god.
I made a choice.
You actually had a choice, Ann.
I got pregnant, Danny.
What? I was so young and overwhelmed.
We still have the next two days together.
Let's not waste them.
I wasted the last two months with you.
What happened to your head? Trish and I broke up.
Oh.
Let me know what you're thinking, Gin -- what you're feeling.
Nothing.
- Tonight on "Related" - Surprise! I wanted you alone for dinner, and you bring the whole Sorelli sister backup team! I don't think we can hang out.
Why? 'Cause that's what she wants? Actually, it's kind of what I want.
You think it's wrong I had an abortion and didn't ask you.
You never told me.
Guess who I just picked up from the pet hotel.
My dog! Give me my dog back! Ann! Your 9:00's here -- half an hour early again.
Can you let him in? Why? So he can stare at my boobs and say, "got milk?" Marjee, please! God, I hate crazy people.
Jason? Hey.
Um, I-I needed to talk to you.
Did you cancel your cellphone? No.
It's the stupid phone companies.
It's like you bounce a couple of checks, and -- How'd you like to get it turned back on? Get dressed and come with me.
I set up a meeting with Max Callahan.
Max Callahan? Are you insane? That's one of Trish's biggest clients.
Hey, I'm the one who introduced him to her.
Plus we need a big client to start our own business.
You and me start a business? We both need work.
Jason, I'm not starting a business with you, okay? No.
Okay? I appreciate that you came to the hospital with the itinerary and everything, but Just this one meeting.
And if it works out, then just this one party.
No.
I can't.
I can't, okay? I'm sorry.
You're too dangerous for me.
Look, Marjee, we're both broke.
You lost your phone.
I'm in danger of losing my apartment.
We work great together.
Just to get us back on our feet.
But you and me -- It's just business.
I promise it won't get personal.
I'll pretend there's a 3-foot restraining order between us.
Make it 4.
I'll go get dressed.
To delete this message, press 3.
Message deleted.
Anything I should know about? Uh, yeah.
Your mom called, asking how the baby and I are doing.
You might want to fill your parents in.
Sorry.
Can we talk? Not right now.
I'm late for work.
Well, I could stop by for lunch.
We could go out.
Oh, that's nice, but I have a lunch meeting.
Dinner? Honey, I'm working late.
Ginnie, you do know it's our anniversary on friday.
We -- I want to feel like a couple again.
You're sweet.
Look, don't wait up for me tonight, okay? Joel.
Hey.
Um, I left you a bunch of messages, but you never called back.
I know.
I know.
I just -- Yeah.
No.
I know you being there for me at the hospital with Ginnie -- I realize that that was kind of extenuating circumstances.
I just want you to know that I'm happy for you and Chloe.
Thanks.
Well, I got to go dissect a frog, so Look, Joel, I know we can't be friends 'cause of the whole Alex thing.
- Rose -- - No.
I get it.
It makes complete sense, and it's right, and it's fair.
I just want you to know that if you think there's ever a time where we could be friends Hey, sexy.
Ready to go smell like formaldehyde? Hey, Chloe.
Well, we have to get to class.
Want to get one of them meaty frogs.
The anorexic ones are no fun.
I'll see you around.
Yeah.
See ya.
Dad, hey, it's Bob.
Bob? Yes? I need to talk to you and mom.
I tried calling at home, but nobody answered.
Yes, she's visiting -- she's visiting aunt Celia.
She likes to push her around in a wheelchair.
It makes her feel altruistic.
I'm on a business trip.
Learn to drive on the right side of the road, you yankee bastard! Dad, where are you? I'm, uh, I'm in Manhattan.
What? How long have you been in town? Oh, no time.
Four or five days.
You've been here a whole week? Yes.
Uh, did I not call? N o.
Well, we must get together.
How does, uh how does thursday morning look to you? Uh, thursday sounds, uh -- Thursday it is.
We'll meet for breakfast, 8:00.
I'm at the Barrington.
Okay.
Dad, how often do you come to New York? Uh, well, how often do I call? Bye, dad.
Look, I appreciate your entrepreneurial spunk, but as you can see, Trish is doing a brilliant job for me.
We're in hell.
I disagree.
What? Excuse me? You know what's wrong with all of these pictures? Trish is in them.
Uh, Marjee -- No.
All due respect, but I have had the whip cracked on my ass and been trained by the very best.
It's just Trish -- she has to make every single one of her events a Trish Houghton event, and that's where she got it all wrong.
Wrong? Yeah.
Because in any of these pictures, you just replace your face with Calvin Klein or Donald Trump or mayor billionaire Bloomingdale.
- Bloomberg.
- Bloomberg.
All the pictures from her parties are exactly the same.
Well, not this one.
Okay.
Well, if you're ever in Donald Trump's Penthouse, why don't you look at his christmas picture? Donald, Melania, Trish, their dogs in a waterford frame right on the grand piano.
They got the little furry Santa hats and everything.
- But she told me -- - I know.
But a Trish Houghton event -- that's exactly what it is.
It's a Trish Houghton event.
I don't know, Mr.
Callahan.
You don't really strike me as the kind of guy who needs a Trish Houghton event.
What you need is a Max Callahan event.
Oh, my god.
You were fantastic.
I know.
The picture with Donald Trump's dog -- how did you know about that? I made it up! I'm that good! Are you kidding? You're What? No.
What is that? Sorry.
I-I forgot.
Yeah, well, unforget it.
'Cause we got six days to plan this thing.
This right here -- this is not going to help us.
Okay.
Right.
All right.
So, corporate cocktails, right? All suits, no fun.
I say we just knock this thing right out of the park.
I'll go home, work on some design ideas.
I'll figure out the budget.
Tomorrow we'll go out to vendors.
Okay, cool.
So, is this a Greenstein/Sorelli party or a Sorelli/Greenstein party? Oh, my god.
Jason, we'll worry about stupid names after we have some cash in the bank.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Sorelli/Greenstein! Hello.
Hey.
You know, I had to pretend to be a customer just to get through to you.
Apparently the fish made me sick.
I'm sorry.
It's been really, really crazy around here.
Apparently the fish is making people sick.
Sorry.
Um, okay, yeah.
So things have been really, really crazy.
I'm still getting the feeling that you're really, really avoiding me.
Yeah, well.
We have to talk about this.
I mean, I know how big this is.
But I have to say that the longer it goes, the scarier it gets for me, and All right.
Uh, I'll come by tomorrow.
Thank you.
Oh, and good luck with the fish thing.
Yeah.
It's all chicken tonight.
What was that about? Uh, nothing.
Fine.
Don't tell me.
Okay.
All right, cool.
Really excellent roommate bonding moment.
Good night, Marjee.
My day was great.
I landed a really big client, and Ginnie? Ginnie ? Gin? Bob.
What are you doing here? What are you doing here? I-I was, um -- Do you want to know something really scary? I just nearly walked out.
On us.
What is going on? It's late.
So come home.
I can't.
I have work.
I can't believe I fell asleep.
You do not have work to do, Ginnie.
You're avoiding me.
You know that you're not the only person going through this, right? You know that you're not the only one in pain? I know, and I'm sorry.
I just, um I can't help you.
It's too hard.
I-I don't -- I don't have anything.
You have me.
- Come on, Ginnie.
- Please.
Just go home.
Hey, there you are.
Hey.
- What you doing? - Nothing.
You want to do nothing together? Really? I'm pretty particular about who I do nothing with.
All right.
So it's a cocktail party -- simple, elegant.
We're thinking white lilacs for the champagne station and white lilies for the centerpieces.
Yeah, but the thing is, I can't do friday.
- What? - What do you mean? I'm booked solid -- three weddings.
You've done three in one day before.
When I used to book through Trish -- I also have a briss.
Come on, Jake.
We want the best, and you're the best.
All we want are some lilacs and lilies.
- All we need is -- - Sorry.
- Can't.
- We're booked.
- No.
- Sorry.
- Oh, sorry.
- No, we -- we can't.
We can't.
Okay, that's it! What is going on? - Ooh, I see another customer.
- Mark! Stay.
We have been to every vendor in Manhattan today.
Nobody will work with us.
I smell Trish.
Whose brand-new Lexus is that parked outside? - Mine.
- Ours.
Not now, Mike.
I remember when you guys couldn't afford bus fare.
The whole reason why you're successful is because of me.
I found you guys.
I brought you to Trish.
I'm not asking you to work with us.
I just want to know what's going on.
Okay, you're right.
It was Trish.
She sent out an e-mail to all her suppliers.
If she catches any of us working with you, she cuts her business.
She sent it to everyone? With pictures.
You're much better-looking in person.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Excuse me.
Are these two seats taken? No.
Great.
Uh, could you move over one? Sorry, I can't.
Why? Because this is my seat.
Yeah, but if you move over one, then that'll be your seat, and we could sit together.
Shh! The movie hasn't even started yet.
I'm doing the jumble.
Tom Hanks! It's always Tom Hanks.
F ine.
Sorry about the lap dance.
Don knotts! - Sorry.
It's a first date.
- Yeah.
Would it be better if we held hands? I'm not moving.
I hope you like to snuggle.
Okay, let's switch.
Greta Scacchi! That was difficult.
I got it, though.
I don't know how I do it, but I do.
You can't do this.
Oh.
Marjee.
Hey.
I see you came without your sidekick.
Oop! Spoke too soon.
Trish.
Schmatz.
So, how's business, guys? Oh, you scheming, evil bitch.
Oh, I see you spoke to some vendors, huh? What do you want us to do? Nothing.
Oh, actually, there is something I'd like you to do.
Suffer and go broke.
Oh, and maybe turn on each other.
Can I have three? Trish, I'm sorry I hurt you, but there's enough work in this city for all of us.
This is above and beyond, even for you.
Oh, well, you know me -- always the overachiever.
Trish, please.
I trusted you.
"Please" is pathetic.
"Please" is an insult to my intelligence, okay? Well, I'd love for you both to stay so I could bask in your discomfort, but I actually have a big party to plan.
And since neither one of you work for me anymore, I have to take Sherman to the pet hotel, don't I? Yes.
Yes, I do.
We're gonna go.
Let's say goodbye to the people we hate.
Buh-bye.
Buh-bye.
That's a good girl.
Is that enough for this conversation? Maybe a little more.
Thanks.
Are you having any? If you're having that much, I figured I'll just take from the bottle.
So So? You surprise me, Danny.
Really? Why? Well, you've been so distant that I figure you think it's wrong that I had an abortion and didn't ask you.
And I think you've been avoiding me because you don't want to admit that you're that guy.
I'm not that guy.
I told you already, Annie.
I don't question the choice that you made.
It's about the fact that you never told me.
I have a hard time with that.
How hard? I just -- I can't comprehend how you can keep something that big from me for so long.
But I did finally tell you.
Doesn't that count for anything? Let me ask you something.
If -- if this hadn't happened with Ginnie, were you ever gonna tell me? Yes.
When? Yeah.
Hey, guys.
Ooh.
Chilly.
Look, I got to be at the restaurant early in the morning.
Good night.
- Is that my fault? - No.
G ood.
So what'd you screw up this time? You know, you can be a real ass.
Sorry.
Yeah.
So, what's going on? You know what? I really don't want to talk about it, okay? Nope.
Nope? You asked if it was okay.
I'd prefer details.
Why do you always have to pry? I'm not prying, Ann.
I'm just worried about you.
You and Danny just got back together.
You're already fighting.
We weren't fighting.
I don't understand.
I tell you everything about my life.
You know about Jason, and you know about my crazy relationship with P.
J.
, and you know about the time I dyed my crotch blue and gold for that guy I was dating who was obsessed with Notre Dame.
There isn't a single thing in my personal life that you don't know about.
Oh, except I had sex in the men's room at Sabroso.
Don't tell Danny.
Fine! Tell him! Because he needs to make the stalls wider.
Thanks you guys for getting me out of the house tonight.
- Of course.
- Sure.
I mean, I know this sounds awful, but it's like when I'm home and I'm alone with Bob, I look at him and I can't help but think, you know "I'm not pregnant.
I'm not pregnant.
" I can't even imagine.
It's for times like these that God created margarita mix.
You know, Marjee, some say you're shallow, but I say, "thank you.
" You're welcome.
Okay, a toast.
To me and Jason, whose party-planning business went belly-up in less than 24 hours.
- Hear! - Hear! Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
It's okay, but it's gonna cost you.
Last one in has to cough up some good gossip.
I don't have any gossip.
Forget gossip.
Just give us Danny details.
You guys back together? Yep.
They're already fighting.
You and Danny are fighting? Yeah, but you can't ask about it 'cause you don't want to pry.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Why were you and Danny fighting? We weren't fighting.
Right.
Danny just got all quiet and left for absolutely no reason.
Kind of like that.
So, what's going on with you and Danny? I told him.
You told me you didn't.
Well I did.
How'd it go? Uh, pretty much like Marjee said.
I'm sorry.
Are you guys okay? No, we are most definitely not okay.
I mean, I knew he was gonna be mad, but I had no idea it was going to be like this.
Hmm.
"Hmm" what? Do you want me to do the sister thing where I tell you want you want to hear or do the sister thing where I tell you what you don't want to hear? Well, I don't really want to hear anything, so, you know, you choose.
Danny just walked back into this relationship, and he wakes up the next day to find out that you've been keeping a huge secret from him for six years.
Okay, do the one where you tell me what I want to hear.
I'm sorry, Ann, but I can see why he's having trouble trusting you right now.
This is the one I want to hear? Why were you so afraid to tell him? I don't know.
Maybe I was afraid that he'd judge me or that he'd -- Figure out you're human like the rest of us? Yeah.
That would be bad.
What am I gonna do? Well, what do you want to have happen? Well, Ginnie, I just got him back.
I don't want to lose him.
Well, then you have to fight for him.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I'm meant to be meeting my father, Robert Spencer.
Could you call his room for me, please? No need.
Thank you.
Dad.
Bob.
Nick, Nick.
A scotch for my son.
You got it, Mr.
Spencer.
You know what? Coffee, please.
Good to see you.
Yes, of course.
All that stuff.
Thank you so much.
Uh, so I have some, uh, difficult news.
We lost our baby.
I tried to tell you on the phone, but -- I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
Thank you.
How's Ginnie? Physically, she's good, but she's become so distant, and we have grown so far apart, and I can't put us back together.
I don't know how.
See, therein lies the key.
You don't fix it.
You endure it.
But I don't want to be like you and mom.
I'm sorry, dad.
Why not? We've been married for 30 years, and you want to know why? Because I didn't fight the tide, my friend.
You can be happy, or you can be married.
Why bother getting married in the first place? For the perks -- someone to sleep with, someone to eat with.
You might feel like you're alone but you're not.
I love visiting with you, dad.
Love it.
Hi.
Hey.
So I drove out to Jersey to talk to vendors.
No luck.
Trish has the entire tri-state area covered.
Ah, I think we can get her to change her mind.
Sure.
Right.
Were you not there in her office yesterday? The woman is completely devoid of compassion.
I know.
Why are you not panicking? Guess who I just picked up from the pet hotel.
You're insane.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Want to grab some dinner? Found your biochem book in my room, where you left it.
Excuse me.
Hi.
I was just seeing if Joel wanted to grab something to eat.
We could all go.
We're studying.
I can take a hint.
It wasn't a hint.
Rose! Hey, wait.
Hey, Rose, come on.
I'm sorry.
She doesn't mean to be that way.
I guess I have to get used to the fact that someone hates me.
She doesn't hate you.
She just -- she's not comfortable with you and me hanging out together.
- 'Cause she hates me.
- No.
But when she found out we went to the movies -- - It was just a movie.
- I know.
- It wasn't even that good.
- Yeah, I tried that.
Not a particularly effective argument.
Um, the thing is, Rose, she's kind of right.
I mean, put yourself in her shoes for a second, okay? I just I don't think we can hang out.
Why? 'Cause that's what she wants? Actually, it's kind of what I want.
I mean, Chloe and I just started dating, and I don't want to screw this up.
You're serious.
I'm sorry.
So when you and Bob are married for 50 years, is he gonna send you 50 bouquets? Hey, Gin.
Hey.
Uh, I need you to draw up a contract for me and Jason and Trish.
A contract for what? It just needs to say that Trish is not allowed to pull her business away from people who work with me and Jason.
Then, you know, you'd throw in some fancy legal words, lots of syllables, you know, make it binding.
Okay.
Even if such a contract were possible, why would Trish sign it? Because she would.
Is your bag snorting? Hmm? N-no.
Marjee.
Marjee, is that Trish's dog?! I've been taking really good care of her.
You kidnapped Trish's dog, Marjee.
You got to take that dog back right now.
Yeah, I know.
That's what I need the contract for.
Otherwise, a dog farted up my fake Fendi for nothing.
Chloe.
Hey.
Wow.
You're just everywhere.
Look, I'm sorry if I've made you feel uncomfortable about me and Joel.
But you need to know that I'm not competition in any way.
Joel and I -- we're just friends.
End of story.
I know.
So what's the problem? You're poison, Rose.
What? I know you're not trying to steal Joel from me.
Okay.
Look, Joel's always had a thing for you.
And no matter what he says, he always will.
And if you guys start hanging out, I You're the dream in his head, Rose.
With you around, I'll always fall short.
That's not how I want it to be.
Yeah, well, life's just full of disappointments.
Look, the bottom line is, you don't want Joel, and I do.
So back off.
All right, Sherman.
Now, you be a good girl, okay? I don't have any more treats for you, but I got a cupcake! Yeah! All right.
Here you go.
Come on.
Where is she? Look, you stupid, whiny little cow, if you don't know, then put me on the phone with someone who does know! That could be her.
Okay.
What stupid blonde did they put me on with now? Hi, Trish.
Look, I've been passed from person to person.
I want my dog back, and if I don't get her back, I'm going to every newspaper in this city.
Yes.
They love these stories.
I'm giving you 45 minutes to find my bitch, bitch.
Go away.
Go away.
Could we talk to you for a minute? I think you'll want to hear what we have to say.
Yeah, boo-hoo, Chuck E.
Cheese won't host your party.
I've got bigger things to deal with here.
Yeah.
We know.
What do you know? We know where your dog is and how you could get her back.
Oh, my god.
You kidnapped my baby? Yep.
- But all you have to do -- - Give me back my dog.
Give me back my dog! Give me back my friggin' dog! My dog! Give me my dog back! My dog! My dog! My dog! My dog! My dog! I think maybe we misread this.
Just -- I -- just -- you just have to take control! How am I supposed to do that? - Go shake her or something.
- I don't even want to touch her.
My dog! That is my dog! - Trish! - My dog! My dog! - My dog! - Trish! Ow.
God! Are we done? Yeah, we are.
Jason! A little help here! My wound could reopen! Okay.
Trish, it doesn't have to be like this.
All we want is for you to undo those e-mails.
And then I get Sherman back? Yes! You get Sherman back.
Just write the e-mails.
To All the vendors and the venues.
On the distribution -- I know! "To whom it may concern, I give you permission to do business with the hateful Jason Greenstein and the evil Marjee Sorelli.
" That's fine.
Now put "P.
S.
-- No take-backs.
" Oh, please.
Fine.
Just push "send" already.
Happy? Very.
Where's my dog? Jason! Shermie.
Oh, Shermie.
My Shermie.
Oh, Shermie.
Well, I guess we should leave you two alone.
Oh, Trish, I had to pay for her when I picked her up.
So if you want to reimburse me -- Oh, get out, freaks.
We did it! We beat the meanest woman in Manhattan.
I know.
That makes us the meanest woman in Manhattan.
You were awesome.
You were awesome.
Where are you going? It's just a little dangerous to be around you right now.
Stop.
No.
No.
Stop.
Please don't.
Okay.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How's the fish situation? It was the flu.
Good news.
What are you doing here? Is this an okay time to talk? Yeah.
Yeah.
It's before rush, so I've been thinking, and I need you to understand something.
Danny, I didn't keep this from you to hurt you or because I didn't think it was important for you to know.
I don't think it had anything to do with you.
Then why? When my mom died, I was 13 -- a bad 13.
I lashed out and said terrible things to her, and then she was gone.
And ever since then, I have this 13-year-old girl who lives inside me that believes people leave when you do bad stuff -- you know, basic human stuff.
Yeah, I get that.
I do.
I really do.
But here's the thing.
I've never been closer to anybody than I was to you.
I think back on, uh on those times when we used to lay in bed and talk about what we were gonna name our children.
To think that you were guarding this secret from me -- it's all tainted.
I'm questioning everything.
I can't see a way to get past this, Annie.
Ever? I don't want to validate your worst fears.
If you told me then -- I know.
I know.
Yeah.
I get it.
I can't believe this.
I do love you.
I know.
And I love you.
I'm gonna go.
I'm so sorry.
Me too.
- Hi, darling.
- Hi! - Surprise! - Surprise! Happy anniversary! - Who has the champagne? - Ann was supposed to bring it.
I totally forgot.
What? It's very simple.
"Ann, bring alcohol.
" I'm sorry.
I had a hard day.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
What happened? Oh, I'm not supposed to ask what happened, that's right.
Marjee, not tonight.
Why? You want me to behave 'cause it's their anniversary? No.
But sometimes when it's someone else's night, you might have to act in a way that you're not necessarily feeling at that moment.
I want to talk to you in here.
What? What's going on? It's meant to be our anniversary dinner -- alone.
Together.
I just thought it'd be more fun if we had family around.
Cut the crap, Ginnie.
Bob, stop it.
They will hear you.
I don't care if they hear! They're not meant to be here to hear! Did Bob not know we were coming? Good one, Rose.
College brain, on.
I can't believe you're doing this.
We haven't had one normal moment as husband and wife since the hospital.
- Bob, stop it.
- No, you stop it.
I wanted you here alone for dinner so we could spend some much-needed time together, and you bring the whole Sorelli sister backup team! Okay! Backup team's gonna go! Uh, no.
No, no, no.
It's okay.
You should stay.
No, Ann.
You should go.
Yeah.
We'll do that one.
I can't believe you kicked my sisters out.
Now they feel unwelcome.
Good.
That's how I feel in my own home.
I'm tired.
I'm going to bed.
You will not walk away from me this time, all right? - Bob, let go of me.
- I can't do that.
I'm trying to be patient, and I'm trying to give you as much space as you need, but not so much space that we become my bloody parents, all right? Do you think I blame you? - Because I don't.
- Bob, stop.
The doctor said you're gonna blame yourself for what happened, but it was not your fault.
I do not blame you.
If I have to remind you of that every day -- I do not want to hear this right now! Well, maybe you need to, Ginnie! No.
No! I do not blame you, and you shouldn't blame yourself.
Bob, I don't blame myself, okay? I blame us.
What? I blame us for losing this baby.
It is our fault, and I am so angry! What are you talking about? When I got pregnant, we said we didn't know if we were ready.
We weren't sure.
So what? So what? I know what the doctors say -- that there's no reason why this happened.
But there was a reason why we lost this baby, Bob.
When I got pregnant, it was an accident.
And we weren't happy enough about this baby, so it was taken away from us.
Is that what you think? Yes.
That is what I think.
We wanted this baby, Ginnie.
But not enough.
Yes, we did.
Because if we didn't it wouldn't hurt as much.
I don't know what hurts most -- losing the baby or losing you.
I'm so terrified of losing you.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
Ann, is that you? Yes.
I thought you were spending the night at Danny's.
Yeah.
No.
You okay? All right.
You don't have to talk about it.
