How to Survive Being Single (2020) s02e03 Episode Script

You need to know,
it hurts me more than you.
It's nobody's fault but mine.
I didn't have a plan.
Playing video games isn't a plan.
Things haven't been right in a while,
that's why we're
-You're considering.
-We're considering a separation.
Is this because I never flush the toilet?
Fish, it's nobody's fault.
We'll love you, no matter what.
That's the important thing.
This decision doesn't affect the group.
Are we still going to celebrate
my name day at the pub?
We'll have to see.
-No longer love each other?
-As friends.
But we can't live together anymore.
If they can't make it, who will?
This is all because you started fucking.
Shut up, Fish.
You've always been the most mature.
Can't you talk it out?
I hate you. I wish I was dead.
-Wait, sweetheart!
-Mafer.
Give him time. He's okay.
Can I talk to you, Dani?
-But what happened?
-We've talked it over, maturely.
And, I mean,
it didn't even hurt.
It hurt like hell. I don't want to talk.
Tell us what happened.
-Aren't you gonna fight for her?
-Exactly.
Okay, so, who am I going to live with?
-Not me!
-No.
HOW TO SURVIVE BEING SINGLE
When they told us they were breaking up,
I decided never to love again.
If your dilemma is
believing in idyllic love
or hating it,
then you're doing something wrong.
I don't hate love. Love hates me.
There's a difference.
So where do we start?
These need to be cheaper.
-Pick three.
-Hello.
Want to try the drink the Mayans had
when they created astrology?
-Is it alcoholic?
-64%.
You won't regret it.
-Great.
-Cheers.
Good!
This is crazy.
-Yes to everything.
-Who will be the face of the project?
Put your beautiful face to good use.
-No way.
-Why not?
We need someone famous.
Someone who'll bring people
to the theater, who can sell tickets.
Vadhir Derbez!
"Hi, I'm Vadhir Derbez.
"I have a brand of Pox."
He has a brand of Pox?
All actors do.
Vadhir is perfect.
His acting range
is the envy of everyone in Mexico.
He can be a teddy bear,
a cowboy,
and with his blond, straightened hair,
he's gorgeous.
He's hired.
How are we going to get him?
-Sebas?
-Hey, Lu!
-Are you wasted?
-No. You are.
Did you go to the mall
to sign autographs again?
No, but I did tell them
I wouldn't be their Santa this year.
-Good.
-Everything is ready.
I just need a big name.
Someone like Vadhir Derbez.
And his brand of Pox.
Vadhir doesn't know who you are.
That's why I need your help. Look.
That's really cool. I'm impressed.
I'm also impressed.
This weekend is the Pox Rite.
It's an exclusive ceremony.
Vadhir holds it every year.
There'll be activities,
mushrooms, creative connections.
And he invited me.
It's the perfect opportunity
for you to talk to him.
Sure, the Pock Rite.
It's pronounced "Posh."
It's celebrities only.
Here are the tickets. Sebastián.
No way, dude! Look at this!
-This is great!
-I only came to your Mayan orgy
because Mafer left with the girls.
Are they serving tacos?
Listen, Fish.
I didn't come here to flirt.
This is for work.
I like the vibe.
It's a mix between a quaint village
and a tropical island.
Yes, quaint.
-Guys, that's Gonzalo Vega!
-Where?
-There!
-Where?
I bet he's promoting something magical.
It's an essayistic film
about civilization
that we could have built,
but we don't deserve.
Nine stories
interconnected by gum.
Going from one shoe to another,
and another, and another.
Imagine Vadhir, naked,
-but with shoes
-Okay
He steps on the gum. You like it?
It's so good. Hey, welcome!
I think she's talking to us.
No, she's talking to you.
-Hi. How are you?
-Who are you?
-Sebastián Ybarra.
-Great to see you.
Do you know Sebas?
I don't think so.
Actually, we made a movie together.
Shall I continue
Speaking of movies,
I have that script Vadhir wanted.
Organic cinema.
Of course!
-He wanted to read it before starting.
-Organic?
Don't waste time with no one he said.
Okay.
Gonzalo?
Can you give us a minute?
Just a moment.
Really? Organic cinema?
Okay, I'll finish telling you later.
It's self-sustaining.
-Thanks for rescuing me.
-No problem.
I don't know why they all come to me,
as if I decide for Vadhir.
"I'm Gonzalo Vega, my parents are famous,
"so my life is easy."
Anyway, what's your name?
I'm Xiadani,
Vadhir's spiritual guide
and poxera teacher.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Sebastián Ybarra, director and actor.
This my team. Daniel, my tax consultant.
Gonzalo, executive producer,
and Fish, my assistant.
Welcome.
Where's Vadhir?
so I can give him my script?
He's wherever the stars take him.
Cool!
Just put it on the pile,
where it will be blessed,
then we'll call you.
Vadhir and I are great friends.
So close! Inseparable.
So I'd rather give it to him in person.
Nothing's planned in the Pox Rite.
Everything happens when it's right.
That's wild.
-So, welcome, guys.
-Thanks.
-Is this free?
-It's a gift from Earth.
-Answer my question.
-Yes.
-Okay.
-And from Vadhir.
Thanks.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll find him.
Thank you.
-She was totally coming on to you.
-I'm here to work.
Fine. Well, in that case
Cheers!
After we rescued this dog in Mazunte,
we fucked on that same beach!
No way! So cool!
-You're in your honeymoon stage.
-Incredible.
Texting, rescuing dogs,
fucking on the beach.
Out of all the men, you found your
soul mate.
-Your other half.
-Yeah.
Mafer, wasn't Daniel exactly that?
-Yes. Do you want some more?
-Yes.
The truth is, at the start,
he was, then we became more like friends.
-There was no spark, no flame.
-That's stressful to watch.
These things take time and therapy.
I gave him a lot of time.
But I love you for wanting me to be well.
Cheers.
Take your time so that The tannins.
Okay.
We're friends of Vadhir's, excuse us.
Here, man.
Sorry.
Fucking cool.
They said Paul McCartney was coming.
-Really?
-The guy from One Direction?
Just as nine drops of blood were needed
for the sorcerers
to make these magical creatures
known as the Aluxes,
so we will need nine drops
He slashed his hand, dude.
of my blood,
so that every bottle
of Pox Spice
is blessed with the blood of the jaguar.
We've been drinking his blood.
We purify the heart
with natural spring water,
and ask the Aluxes to protect
our barrel of elixir.
Dude, he's incredible.
No wonder he's Mexico's best actor.
He's great.
Brothers and sisters,
welcome
Gross.
to the Pox Rite.
Dude, what the fuck?
What did you think?
-Offensive.
-He's the shit!
We used real jaguars,
the carbon footprint has to reduce.
-Great.
-By the way,
I brought this for you.
-Let's see.
-Thanks!
-They're free?
-A gift by Earth.
-Go ahead.
-And from Vadhir.
-Yes, I know.
-Thank you!
I don't mean to be pushy,
but can you help me find Vadhir
to give him this? means a lot.
He gives a clay workshop.
-Try there.
-Okay.
-Everything will flow.
-Everything will flow!
Yes!
-Eat up, dude.
-Come on.
I hate you guys.
How many did you eat, Fish?
Who cares? They're free.
-Oh, dude.
-Fish.
-I'm hungry!
-Dude!
We really needed a girl's night.
Noticed how different the vibe is?
-Yeah.
-So many matches!
Are all those matches?
I wish they were bank deposits.
I don't need sex, I need money.
Do you fuck a lot?
Who, fabi?
Nobody.
Nobody in particular.
Lots of people? You do it with everyone?
Such variety.
I forgot the mineral water!
-It's virgin.
-Like me.
I changed my status to single,
now they're like vultures.
-Men are only interested in sex.
-Listen to me.
You need a change of scene.
Listen to me.
Cooking classes,
start an urban garden,
take up spinning.
Get ripped. For yourself.
Not for them.
So you're seen from
a different view.
We don't need a change of scene,
we need to change homes.
Who is home to you?
Who's your person?
Who's your emergency contact?
Daniel.
-It can't be him anymore!
-No!
Mafer, I'm asking you
to be my emergency contact.
We can be roomies
and do this together.
Face life together.
That's so nice.
-Okay?
-Yes!
Daniel's things are here.
-We'll burn them, like at school!
-What about Fish?
I'm stuck taking care of him.
Two adults can take of a teenager
better than one.
There you go.
Mafer, you and me, roomies.
Think about it.
Like when you took me in
during spring break
when mom threw me out.
Best spring break ever!
The best.
-Yes?
-And we'll watch Fish.
We'll watch Fish.
-Roomies?
-Yes!
Let's celebrate!
Vadhir?
Remember me? Sebastián.
-No.
-Okay.
I came to see you here
away from all the noise because
I have a play I want to pitch to you.
It's about Bobo and Badú's journey.
Two beings from another dimension.
One is helplessly in love
Everything
will pass.
I'm worried about Fish. Where is he?
I don't know,
but I'm going to make a call.
In the middle of the Pox Rite?
You're unemployed. Unplug a little.
Come here.
Fucker!
Lucía Uribe?
-And you are
-Gonzalo Torres.
Hi, Gonzalo Torres.
Look, I'm a koala!
I love koalas!
-Sorry, mushrooms do that to her.
-No, it's cool.
I lose control.
Ever since she worked with Diego Luna,
she's been like this.
I'm depressed.
I feel like the mushrooms brought me down.
-Saudade.
-Saudade, right.
I'm Daniel. Beautiful name.
It's not my name!
I'm Estefania Villareal.
No? Doesn't ring a bell?
-Nice to meet you.
-Now I feel great.
I feel bad.
I'd booked Jaureguiberri and everything.
What's a "jaureberry"?
Jau-re-gui-berri.
-What?
-Say it right, or else Mafer
Who is Mafer?
Forget it. I feel worse now.
-No, I feel worse.
-Stop it!
Enough with the Emo-Olympics or we'll have
a boredom attack!
It's not boredom. It's depression!
In this clay,
the spirits of those who left before us
remain trapped.
I hope it wasn't a work of art.
If it was, it's not anymore.
-It's coming out really cool.
-Yes.
Hello, Fish.
May their wisdom
and clairvoyance guide you
to the world of the dead.
-I'll put it here.
-Thank you.
Fish!
Speaking of,
My text, "Almost at the End"
Everything will pass.
Fuck you!
What's going on here?
Faggot!
You're the faggot!
The script.
-What's wrong?
-None of your business, Fabiana.
Let's go.
Like when we went
to the playground.
Everything will be fine.
Please, sit tight.
Relax there.
You're stoned. Have some water.
Hydrate, and you'll be fine.
Stay there.
Everything's fine.
Hello?
Did you know thousands
of little rabbits of all colors
live down here?
You taste like an horchata popsicle.
No, wait a minute.
You're so pretty and sexy.
I like you.
But I'm chasing a bunny
who's hard to get.
Are you in the mood?
for your life's best experience.
Tell your friend I like her,
but I'm not in the mood.
Stop being so clingy.
Think it over.
-You know what?
-Tell me.
I don't want to die alone
like the guy in Her.
He didn't die.
He got a divorce.
Hold on. Are you divorced?
Practically, yes.
Yes, I am.
Lucía is about to devour
Giovani dos Santos!
Eat me, Gio!
Lucía, are you kidding me, dude?
I'm Lucía Uribe and I'm totally high!
You know guys,
I'm not paying for dating apps anymore.
Mostly to save money,
but I think we can meet people
the old-fashioned way.
Where are you going to meet people?
In the office?
-It's unprofessional.
-No!
More and more couples are meeting
at the office.
-How can I meet someone at work?
-Sister Mathilde.
What you have is so cool.
I want a budding romance.
A romantic,
committed, stable relationship.
I fell for it, shit.
No way. I would never.
No, that's not for me.
I'd still like to have
Daniel's children.
Dude.
But I had already bought folic acid.
-I don't doubt that.
-You know something?
Sometimes I miss Sebas like hell.
I believed it. She's a good actress!
-Now cry! I want you to cry.
-Fuck you!
What the fuck?
What the hell?
Hi, Fish.
I've been expecting you.
This place is pretty.
It's sensual.
You're so beautiful.
Sorry, I can't.
I'm kind of
detoxing right now.
But I can call Gonzo, he'll do anything.
Not that you're anything.
What I'm saying is that I can't right now,
because temptation
corrupts the soul. I need to be cleansed.
You're here for that.
You're destined to free humanity
from the yoke of sexual libido.
Really?
Transform your sexual energy into light.
Rip out the roots that tie you
to mundane temptation.
Thank you,
Brazilian sex goddess!
I'll tell you the story
of Gonzo's first love.
When I was little,
I used to like my neighbor Pau.
One day,
I put on my Carlos Hermosillo jersey
and my soccer shoes
and asked my nanny to make us
some rolled-up sandwiches and Jell-O
because I was going to win her over.
But that day, Carlos Hermosillo's son
asked her out,
and ever since that day,
I swore nobody
would ever make a fool of me again.
That's how Gonzo the Indomitable was born.
The King of Chains.
The Astral Stick.
Your story's too long, Gonzo.
If you like Pau, go and tell her.
Give her a kiss, a sandwich,
and Junior can go fuck himself.
-He can go fuck himself.
-Right.
Asshole.
Falling in love is awesome.
Stop playing games. Leave that to me.
Falling in love is cool.
I'm going to close the circle.
Fabiana is going to love this.
Hey!
Have you seen Vadhir?
I feel like we're really connected.
And he gave me an owl.
All the stories glued
by piece of gum.
Everything will pass.
He gives everyone an owl.
They all tell him
about their next film idea.
What's he looking for then?
What's the secret?
I'm stressing out here!
Everything's going to be okay, Baby Face.
What?
I asked if you're okay.
Yes, sorry. This script is
very important to me, you know?
I think you're on a bad trip.
-Come!
-What about Vadhir?
We'll find him.
Did you know there were
thousands of bunnies living down here?
Gonzo, brush your teeth.
This is delicious.
What?
I don't have to squeeze into
that wedding dress.
No need
to please anyone.
You're an awesome person.
You'll be fine.
You're so funny.
Any guy would be lucky to be with you.
-A hundred percent.
-Look at you.
He's been calling all night.
To a change of scene!
-To a change of scene!
-To a change of scene!
When I lost my purpose,
she brought me back to life
and gave me a new one.
She liked to do good.
She loved you for who you were.
That was the feeling. It was like
I could be myself.
I am myself.
Now, I don't know who I am.
I lost my purpose. I don't know who I am.
In that case,
you have the purpose
to honor her, and that purpose
makes you cool.
-It makes you a good guy.
-Right!
So the purpose of my purpose
is to keep my promise to Julieta
and make Almost at the End.
Vadhir! We're stoned. Join us!
Time to go. Let's get ready.
Wait, Vadhir.
I have a purpose.
And you're already here.
You have nothing to lose.
-You have 20 seconds.
-What?
-Twenty seconds.
-Huh?
Eighteen seconds.
Okay, it's
A world of two brothers, they're at war.
No, sorry
Sorry, it's Okay.
-Bobo and Badú.
-I've heard enough.
You project isn't special.
And neither are you.
I'm gonna go set up.
This is the moment
to let go of our insecurities.
I want you to come up here and shout.
Shout out everything that is limiting you
on your journey
and is holding you back.
I'll start.
Go ahead.
Ego is the poison of the soul.
Stop using PhotoShop.
José Eduardo isn't funnier than you.
This is who I am.
I love me.
I took mushrooms
and then I took Molly too!
I'm attracted to divorced men!
I can drink on Tuesdays. I'm free!
You're fucking kidding me.
I'm at the Pox Rite!
I miss you. No, I don't. I'm fine.
I'm the Astral Stick!
I think sometimes
we want things so desperately
that we lose sight of what's important.
Being calm.
Believing in the journey.
Believing that our instinct
will never lead us astray
and know when things are right
and when they're wrong.
Remember, disconnect the world
from sexual libido.
Disconnect it.
Disconnect.
Disconnect
And Julieta
I'll never see her again.
I don't know if we'll meet again
in this life or the next,
but what I do know is
this all I have left to be close to her.
So I'm going to do it. You know why?
I don't need anybody's approval.
Because
what I'm doing is badass,
and I love doing it.
Because it's good. And you know what?
Everything else can fuck off.
People can fuck off,
everyone who doesn't believe in me.
The Pox Rite can fuck off.
Vadhir can fuck off.
Besides, Pox tastes like ass.
It's nasty shit. You know what?
Yes.
Yes, I'm very special.
No. Don't fuck this up.
Sebastián, that's
that's the gift of the Pox.
I got goose bumps, man.
You and I are going to make
a creative and spiritual alliance.
Burn the pile of scripts!
I've found my new project.
Really? You haven't even read it!
The script
What are scripts?
Paper with letters, words,
sentences
Look at him, It's magic
He believes in his project.
Behind his frightened face,
stands a guy with balls.
He's brave.
He's special.
You're different, not like these vultures.
They come to the Pox Rite to sell me
shit like Dance of the whatever,
artsy-fartsy projects.
They use me 'cause
they know my movies are blockbusters.
It sucks.
Burn the scripts!
Follow me, my children!
Let's burn up the shit you wrote!
Where were you?
What a great blackout!
Ironically, that's what switched
everything on.
What an intense trip. I think
I think I know what to do.
Follow your instinct. It's never wrong.
Instinct is instinct.
Yes, yes!
I have to free the world
from the yoke of sexual libido.
Those mushrooms really hit you, huh?
-Badass.
-Why?
It's true.
GONZO
Hey. Are you awake?
I need to tell you something.
Fabiana, listen to me.
I've been thinking of you all day.
I wish you were here in my bed
to spend the night together.
Just cuddling, no sex.
What did you do to me?
Can you believe it? I think I love you.
