Sort Of (2021) s02e01 Episode Script

-What's your name, baby?
-Sabi.
You're a nanny and a bartender?
Are you in the right place?
Bessy and I feel like they
might not need a nanny anymore.
Move to Berlin with me.
We leave Monday.
Do your parents know
that you're trans?
My mom, like, she's kind of trying.
If you don't want to dirty your
outfit.
Bessy got into an accident
on her bike.
-Is she okay?
-She's non-responsive.
You can't not go to Berlin.
It just feels wrong
to not be here for her. For them.
Stop telling yourself
how badly this family needs you!
You will never regret the sacrifices
you make to help people.
You wear makeup
and care for children.
If you're not a girl, what are you?
I am not boying up for them.
What is this?
He'll go straight to Dad who's gonna
take a giant shit all over Mom.
And I'm one way it's bad
and I'm another way it's bad.
Bessy opened her eyes, Sabi!
Oh, my God. What happened now?
You're super important to my life.
Like, vital to my standing here.
So, if you die, I will murder you.
Maybe we can connect on Monday.
I will see you on Monday.
Not asleep.
Hi!
You staring at me thinking
I'm asleep is creepy, though.
Honestly, I don't care.
I'm just so happy that you're alive.
Not that I thought
you were gonna die.
Kidding. I totally thought
you were gonna die.
How are we today?
My legs feel like they're not mine.
I was talking to a nurse earlier,
and she kept saying
you're a top percentile,
which I think means you're winning.
Yay!
I got you a present.
Aw, yeah.
-You are the best.
-Yes.
Oh, Blondie.
And how are we today?
Oh, you know, good.
I cheated death. Don't make me dig.
You know, I'm
just worried about my mom.
My dad's coming home from Dubai.
And I just Whatever.
I just felt like she was doing
so much better without him.
Marriage is stupid.
Anyway, I'm fine.
You're alive. Everyone's alive.
When I woke up for a second,
I saw Paul, and I was like
"Who that?"
But when it dawned on me,
I was like
"I married a dude?
A white dude."
Oh, no!
Would you do it?
-Marry a white dude?
-No. Marriage.
How am I supposed to know?
I haven't even, like,
experienced normal love.
What is normal love?
You know, easy, uncomplicated.
Probably what Rachel McAdams has.
-Rachel McAdams?
-Uh, yeah.
Rachel McAdams for sure has
a simple and pure love in her life.
And to be clear, not normie love.
She's obviously cooler than that.
What's going on
with what's-her-face? Oleander.
Olympia.
She used to, like, give me
way more attention, but I get it.
She's, like, busy and, like
I embarrassingly jump at the chance
to hang out whenever she's free,
which I know is bad,
but, like, whatever. I don't know.
It's what I want with everybody,
not just my romantic relationships,
with, like, family, and friends,
all of the loves I have.
I just
I want that uncomplicated
Rachel McAdams love.
That's doable, right?
-I got so effed last night.
-Why are you walking us to school?
I called my only friend
who gets up before noon.
I haven't slept at all.
A good after-party comedown
can be sublime.
It's super empowering
that you're living life out loud,
but also unhealthy,
which is the opposite of empowering.
Aren't you worried
about cognitive decline?
Are you 90?
That's a pretty weird
phone call to get.
If someone makes you feel weird,
you should just hang up.
Good to know.
Just "click".
What's that sound?
Oh, my God. It's a dial tone.
What's a dial tone?
-This is far enough.
-What?
The school is still a block away.
Game thingy.
-Bye!
-Bye!
They're embarrassed to have a nanny.
I know you need to make a living,
But those kids are basically adults.
Look at Henry. He's Shang-Chi now.
Why do we all have to go
to the airport?
It's, like, standard brown code.
You have to be there.
Are you sure he's coming?
He could be holding out
for a cheaper flight.
-Maybe he'll never come.
-You cannot bail on me.
If I do go, and he calls me sick
or psychotic, I'm walking.
-That means you're coming?
-What does Mom think?
I support
whatever decision Sabi makes.
-Seriously?
-What's wrong with that?
You would never support
whatever decision I make.
Don't tell me
what I would and wouldn't do.
I think if Mom is good with me
not going, then you should be, too.
Okay, fine.
Also, FYI, your rent check bounced.
Deenzie hasn't paid me yet.
Can't talk right now, but will. Bye!
-Ugh! What is happening?
-My dad
Sorry. I'm having
blood sugar issues. I need carbs.
-So, my dad is
-I've been DMing with this IG model.
Their name is Arrow.
I'm head-over-Blundstones for them.
Met them on a new dating app
called NONBI. Have you heard of it?
How aggressive do you need me to be
to get to talk about myself?
OMG, Sabi.
Your dilemma is so pointless,
it makes me wanna weep.
Listen to me hard.
There are no pros or cons to going
to the airport to receive Daddy.
Go if you want.
Don't go if you don't.
Thank God it's that simple, and I
have, like, no feelings to process.
I'm sorry. Process. Go.
Oh, my gosh! Process.
For the first time in my life,
I feel solid.
I'm actually making choices
as who I am.
That's so good.
But the reason Dad's coming is
'cause he's freaked about me.
And that's gonna, like,
mess with my new vibes.
You're letting your dad decide
how you be?
And you're wasting
precious alive time
worrying about shit
that hasn't even happened.
Tell me do you know
what the future is?
It's Deenzie.
Hey, what's up?
Hey, yum!
-I don't understand. You're closing?
-What's there not to understand?
I didn't pay rent, we didn't get our
license renewed, so the doors close.
How are you, 7ven?
Fine.
Deenzie, why didn't you pay rent?
I was trying to get blood
from a stone and realised,
"Wait. I have a little money saved.
I don't have to keep doing this."
Oh, good. You're here, Sabi.
-Who's that?
-Oh, my God. Is that Wolf?
-Dad doesn't know the password.
-I don't want you digging around.
-Who's Wolf?
-Deenzie's offspring.
-I didn't know you had offspring.
-I didn't ask him to come.
He told me the doors were closing
and I came as soon as I could.
Okay, wait.
How long have you known about this?
A while. Not that long.
You know what? I'm gonna go.
'Cause I'm starting to have
uncomfortable feelings.
Nice meeting you.
Weather is so unpredictable.
True.
Where is the wall?
Which wall?
We are doing renovation.
Imran Bhai knows?
Oh, yes. Of course.
He doesn't know, does he?
Almonds.
So much debt over so many years.
It's hard to keep
a bar like this alive.
So many lines of credit.
I can't let this place close.
Well, without some super immediate
cash infusion, we got no choice.
I can call this guy I know that runs
a fund that invests in art ventures.
Sounds smart.
I don't understand.
There's a lot of freaky queers
and misfits and genderqueers
who have nowhere else to go
without this place.
That's unfortunate. 7ven?
Yes, Bryce?
You look good. Did you call me
'cause your friends need money?
-7ven?
-Maybe.
I don't do that.
I don't bail failing businesses out.
Call me
when you have a thing to pitch.
Bye.
-Hey, Dad.
-Hey, kiddos.
Henry, don't leave your coat
on the floor.
I didn't.
Hey! Looks like you're changing
some stuff in here.
Bessy hated the feng shui
in this room.
Do you need any help?
Yes. No.
I mean, are you okay with it?
-This isn't a nanny duty.
-I appreciate that
No laundry,
no middle-of-the-night phone calls.
I know you're trying not to be,
but you're being shitty.
I'm just offering normal
human-to-human help.
Okay.
Thanks.
She's gonna be at rehab
for a while.
This? No, this is just
for when, you know,
they say she can come home.
Yeah, this is terrible.
Let's move the couch back.
-How were the kids today?
-Old.
-Yeah. They're pretty old, eh?
-Yeah.
You okay?
You know, just
life's unexpected twists and turns.
Hey. Don't freak out.
I'm on my way to the airport.
New plan. Dad's flight came in
early and he's on his way home.
Oh, my God. We're gonna
be stuck there all night long.
See you soon!
Why are you waiting out front?
We wanted to see
what you are wearing. Okay.
-Is he here?
-Not yet.
-Where's everyone else?
-Inside.
-You think this is too much?
-Yeah, it's a bit
Come.
I'm gonna
I'm gonna get something to eat,
or drink, or stab myself with.
Anyone want anything?
Sparkling water.
You have sparkling water?
We have a soda machine.
I'll have a sparkling water.
-Aqsa?
-Ativan.
Kareem, go help your cousin.
To go get two sparkling waters?
Get everyone sparkling water.
I can handle it, Auntie.
What's up?
What?
What's up?
-Are you whispering?
-This is just how I talk.
-That's weird.
-What is?
You're so quiet,
but couldn't shut the fuck up enough
not to call my father in Dubai
to out me.
We were worried about you.
-"We"?
-Yeah.
Me and your dad.
That's weird.
Fancy.
Isn't it?
Sabi.
Your father loves
the people he loves.
When we were younger in Lahore,
I shiver to even think about it,
he killed a rat the size of a cat.
With his hands.
He was like a little rat on a rat.
Sounds very loving.
I mean to say, the rat was after me.
And he murdered a creature
to protect me.
He's just almost here!
Thank you.
Now, you take care, understand?
Hundred percent, boss.
Not a problem.
Good-bye.
Why are you in a wheelchair car?
Old friend.
Everyone owes me a favour.
Hello.
Hello.
Where is the wall?
I told you. Open concept.
Sit.
Aqsa, please take dishes, okay?
I want to know your work situation.
My work situation? I'm fine.
What do you think of all this?
I don't know.
It's kind of Mom's thing.
Maybe you should ask her.
I'm asking you.
My opinion doesn't really matter.
I want your professional opinion.
Like electrician, I mean.
-What, you want a quote or
-Yes.
New lighting, all on main floor.
I don't know. I guess it depends
on how many lights you want,
and you're gonna have to cut holes
if it's gonna be recessed.
And that takes, like, a bit of work.
Okay.
You're hired.
I'm what?
I do construction, okay?
You do electric.
Together, we give your mother
her open concept.
Father and son, okay?
It's just that I'm, like,
super busy right now.
So, I'm not sure
that I can accept your job offer.
Why not?
Gotta go.
And then he actually said it.
"Father and son."
-No!
-Yes!
-What did you say?
-I kinda told him, "No."
Thank God you texted me
when you did.
Lol! He wants you
to do manual labour.
Turn you into a macho man.
Right?
But I kinda need the money actually.
-And also, my mom really wants
-Over there. Let's go.
Let's just be here now
with each other.
You're amazing. I'm gorgeous.
Everyone else is stupid.
Open it.
Oh, wow!
Right?
It works with an app on your phone.
Where did you get these?
Girl, I'm a data security analyst.
They just give me shit
for no reason.
Hey, do you like Rachel McAdams?
What?
-What?
-Nothing.
Hey, you almost hit me!
This isn't bumper drones.
I'm so sorry. Oh, my God.
I'm so bad at this.
Oh my God!
Okay, I think I've got it.
