Sort Of (2021) s02e02 Episode Script

The reason Dad's coming home
is 'cause he's freaked about me.
That's gonna mess with my new vibes.
Aqsa, please take dishes, okay?
I didn't pay rent, we didn't get our
license renewed, so the doors close.
-Who's that?
-Is that Wolf?
-Are you wolf?
-Nice meeting you.
When I woke up, I saw Paul,
and I was like, "I married a dude?"
You know, she's gonna be at rehab,
for a while.
No, this is just
for when they say she can come home.
-FYI, your rent check bounced.
-Can't talk right now. Bye!
Together, we give your mother
her open concept. Father and son.
It's just that I'm, like,
super busy right now.
So, I'm not sure
that I can accept your job offer.
-What's going on with Oleander?
-Olympia.
I jump at the chance to hang out
with her whenever she's free,
which I know is bad,
but it's what I want.
-Hey.
-What?
Nothing.
My God. It's so fun.
Totally.
I gotta go.
-Already?
-Yep!
Hey, is it okay
if I start introducing you to people
as my manicurist?
I don't know if I'm ready for that.
I know, right?
It's a big responsibility.
I like my nails.
Not too long. Pretty and functional.
How I hope to be one day.
Except I forgot
the most blingy part.
Bling? I thought you had to go.
-I always have time for bling.
-Okay.
-So, you're going to work or
-No.
-You're so fun.
-You're so fun.
Hey, so 7ven and I are going
to some club tonight, and
My God. I'm so there.
Are you liking the colour
for your walls?
It's good.
Really?
Saffron?
You're trying to turn this house
into a circus.
Orange walls, untamed children.
You asked for my opinion.
If you don't want it, don't ask.
Hi!
Hi, my jaanu.
I thought you were too busy
to help me.
I changed my mind.
It's tuna casserole.
The kids made it for you.
Because it's your favourite.
This is my favourite?
Of all the foods?
Dr. Gutierrez said
this could absolutely happen.
That I'd be grossed out
by tuna casserole?
No, she said things could feel
strange for you.
Things you like, you might not.
For instance, the tuna casserole.
I'm gonna have to eat some of this,
aren't I?
The kids made it for you.
Okay.
Nobody heads balls like you.
We are talking about soccer, right?
You were like Sunil Chhetri.
You remember? He positioned himself
perfectly for the ball.
Then he leapt up and headed the ball
slightly to his side.
Very good form.
Passing it to that Chinese boy.
Walter Jeong, I think you're
talking about. He was Korean.
Changed the game.
I think we could rip out the drywall
sooner rather than later,
so access to all this wiring
will be super easy.
-Right?
-Oh, Hey, Sabi.
Hey.
What's up?
You said you wanted a blanket.
Do you still want one?
-Yeah. Yes.
-Okay.
-I can do that.
-Let me just get that.
It's all right. I can do it up.
Just leave it!
-I'm just gonna give you
-Paul! We're breaking up.
Paul and I are breaking up.
I thought Sabi should know.
The psychologist laid this out.
Potential for egocentric behaviour.
Lack of empathy
and short-term memory.
Wow.
She broke up with me
three times today.
Wow!
First time, she called me
"Dan The Man."
-Who's Dan?
-Right?
I'm sorry you've had to
go through that over and over.
-Have a good night.
-Thanks. You, too.
I'm gonna go grab stuff for dinner.
You wanna come over?
No.
-You got any plans tonight?
-Yep.
Hey. So, I have some, like,
unsolicited opinion-slash-advice.
Can I give it?
Of course.
Even even though the doctor said
what they said,
and even though it's gonna hurt,
I feel like you, or like we,
but like you,
have to take her reality seriously
in order for her to feel okay.
For now, you know?
It'll probably ride itself out.
Oh, shit.
You look good.
I'll be home very late tonight.
Got it.
Can we just talk about Dad
for a sec?
I would love not to.
Mom says he thinks
that you are untamed.
Right? I'm so wild.
I'm trying to understand
what your plan is here.
-My plan?
-With Dad.
I don't know. Um, like, exist.
Well, while you're existing, I have
to deal with him dealing with that.
I'm sorry. How you deal with dad is,
like, completely up to you.
Is it also up to me to deal
with you not paying rent?
What are we talking about here?
Dad, rent, or just all of the ways
in which I generally disappoint you?
Oh no. Please!
I love handling any and all fallout
from Sabi's oh-so-hard life.
'Cause apparently,
I don't exist at all.
I don't know what to do.
Tell me what to do and I'll do it.
I don't know.
Are the nails necessary
when you go there?
I love my nails.
-Sorry, excuse me.
-Excuse me!
Reckless!
-Loving the nails.
-Right? Olympia did them.
It's cute the way she's putting
her little stamp on you.
-Everyone needs a sensei.
-She's not my sensei.
-What is she then?
-Why do we have to define it?
Now, you're speaking my language.
Somebody wants me in them.
Ever been on NONBI?
It's a dating app.
You already asked me this. No.
Also, if you're in love with Arrow,
then why do you need more NONBI?
Arrow understands
because they're famous.
Some have a desire
to be wanted by everyone constantly.
With technology,
that can be sustained.
If Arrow's famous,
then why are we in line?
Influencer, then.
Of the Internets and my heart.
I'd rather meet humans
the way we've always met.
-Fighting for resources?
-Better than getting swiped.
Where's Olympia at anyway?
Arrow's coming!
Oh, my God. How do I look?
Phenom, right? Right? Right?
It's too late to text them.
-Hey.
-Oh, hi.
-I was gonna knock on your door.
-Well, what's up?
Could you hold down the fort
for an hour or so?
-Where are you going?
-I was gonna bring Mom something.
Is she okay?
Yeah. She's totally fine.
Just gonna bring her a present.
Okay. Yep.
-Okay.
-Bye.
And then she just dropped the bomb.
-"Paul and I are breaking up."
-Wow!
It was next level.
Like, filter-free.
She was like Jim Carrey
in Liar Liar.
-What's your face doing?
-What do you mean?
-You look excited.
-I'm not. It was sad.
The honesty was kind of thrilling,
but also disturbing.
Like seeing someone poo.
That's fucked. You're fucked.
Because of the pooing analogy?
You're being cynical
about heteronormative partnership.
Everyone requires
different conditions to be happy.
-Hey, Arrow!
-Oh, there they are!
Look how gorgeous you are!
-How hot are they?
-Hi.
This is my bestie Sabi.
Does Arrow look familiar?
'Cause they have tons of followers
on various soshes.
I do online interviews,
influencer networking, IG Modelling.
It's like high-key hard,
but so worth it.
I love making a contribution
to the world.
Olé! Molly.
I'm waiting on a friend.
I should check in before
Vodka tonic, rocks, please.
Rude.
Hey. Just wondering
if you're still coming.
You said you were coming
and I texted you the address.
But so, anyway,
just let me know either way.
Just wondering
if you're still coming.
Hey! I think Olympia stood me up.
Hey!
-Can I have that molly?
-Yes! Yes! Sabi wants molly.
-What?
-Sabi wants molly.
What?
Yeah!
Yeah!
Sorry I didn't wave. I thought it
would make me look unprofessional.
What are you doing here?
Research. This place has
an exceptional revenue stream.
You're doing research for
Bar Bük maybe? When I don't know
what to do, I research.
Oh, my God. Saying goodbye
to the Bük is gonna break me
in half, or pieces.
What are you studying at school?
Where you're supposed to be.
Where's school?
Wisconsin.
I'm in package engineering.
-Are you into this club?
-Oh, God, no!
It's just like go-go boys,
and fag hag bachelorette parties.
What's package engineering?
Math. Do you think there's a hole
in the marketplace?
Totally!
-What are we talking about?
-Bar Bük.
Like, without it, where are people
gonna go, and just be
like that?
Oh, my God!
Don't you love this song?
Okay.
-You should go to bed, you know?
-You should go to bed.
-Where did Dad go?
-To bring a present to Mom.
-I hope they don't get a divorce.
-What? Why would you say that?
Their relationship has been
a lot worse since Mom's accident.
Thank you, Dr Marriage Coach.
So, if what you need is
not me, I can
I mean, it's weird.
I can give you what you need.
I can't pretend right now.
Okay.
No. It
It's good you're being honest.
I think, though, until you're back
to more yourself
maybe nothing changes, family-wise.
I don't think the kids should know
we're broken up.
If that makes sense.
Okay.
Let's get you better.
That's what's important.
Sabi, baby!
Okay!
-Hey!
-Hi!
I thought you weren't coming.
Sorry. Dinner took forevs.
It's okay.
Come here.
There's someone I want you to meet.
Sabi, this is Macauley, my husband!
Macaulay? Like Culkin?
So pleased to meet you, Sabi!
Nice to meet you, Husband.
Mostly private equity.
And a lot of VC in Palo Alto.
But I just needed to see my girl.
How new are you?
What?
How new are you two?
New. New-new.
Just, like, beginning to roll.
A new beginning. New York, New York!
You're fucking gorgeous.
Yes! Yes!
So, we going home together?
I vote yes.
I'm good if you are.
Girl, I just came up with the idea.
Some rules. Penetration's out.
For everybody?
Oral, toys, chastity, all good.
I like those things.
I'm good with those things.
Are we in junior high?
You're such a fucking tease.
-Right? Isn't it sexy?
-No, it's not.
Whatever, Mac.
I have three fucking words for you.
-Meatpacking district.
-Interesting words!
Look. Do you wanna go
to your place, not with her?
No!
Sabi is mine.
-What?
-I'm not into this anymore.
Oh, my God. You're the best.
-I'm yours?
-Are you laughing at me?
I can't believe you think I'm yours
when I can't even reach you,
like, 82 percent of the time.
Why are you laughing at me?
It takes you five whole-ass days
to respond to one of my texts.
Honestly, you're so flakey!
Olympia, you are so flakey!
You know what? I'm done
letting you follow me around.
-Olympia?
-I'm not your mother.
Have a nice life!
