Sort Of (2021) s02e03 Episode Script

What's not to understand?
The doors close or I go to jail.
I can't let this place close.
We give your mother
her open concept.
-Father and son. You're hired.
-I'm what?
What are we talking about here?
Dad, or rent
I love handling any and all fallout
from Sabi's oh-so-hard life.
We're breaking up.
Paul and I are breaking up.
I don't think the kids should know.
Why are you laughing at me?
Olympia, you are so flaky!
-Olympia!
-Have a nice life!
Whoa! Yo!
-Izzy?
-Yes, it Izzy! What's going on?
What are you doing here?
I was visiting my ma when she said
that your ma needed tech support.
-I'm checking in on my folks, too.
-This is why we're the favourites.
-How's Sabi?
-Avoiding me. Rent's due.
Why is the screen door open?
Bugs are getting in.
Ismail, how long have you been here?
Not too long. I was just helping out
Raffo Auntie with her computer.
How's business, Unc?
They'll always be building buildings
in Dubai.
Hello, Dad.
-That was weird.
-He's been weird since he got back.
How long is he back for?
Usual two, three months?
We don't know.
I'm sensing
you weren't expecting this visit.
Your dad hired you to fix the house
and now he's not paying you?
-Whatever.
-You gotta be like, "Dad, pay me!"
He's gonna haggle.
I hate haggling.
You want me to haggle?
I'll haggle the shit out of him.
What else is going on?
-You're being weird.
-How am I weird?
'Cause you're asking me
questions about myself.
I just
What's going on in your life?
Okay. Well, Deenzie didn't pay me
my last pay paycheck either.
What's going on
with people not paying you?
-Bitches be broke, I guess.
-He owes you money. Full stop.
-What's going on with Olympia?
-Seriously?
I'm just curious. You said
things got weird after clubbing.
I mean, I texted her a bunch,
and she, like, fully disappeared.
I'm so sorry, Sabi. That sucks.
-Arrow?
-Eh-hey.
Have you been listening
to our conversation the entire time?
7ven's doing
a little research for me.
I might wanna feature you on my
Quiet Queers of Toronto Insta live.
This is a preinterview.
You'd never do it willingly.
I'll do anything for love.
You need to get closure
with Olympia.
And you need to get paid.
Otherwise, you're letting down
the suffragettes.
How do I look?
-Good.
-Right?
Hi, fam!
OMG, Vi. Look how zest!
-Get it.
-Dang!
-We're outtie!
-Bye!
-Let's get it!
-This is gonna be so sick!
-Hey. How's your day?
-Good.
-Hey. Hi, Henry.
-Violet's with 7ven.
I got this text from someone
named Elsa on behalf of Bessy.
Said it was urgent.
They won't let her look at screens,
which isn't a brain injury
but a concussion thing.
Is everything okay?
You're walking backwards.
Right. Okay, Henry. Let's go.
Hi! I I got Elsa's text.
Oh, yeah. They won't let me look
at phones, which is dumb, because
-I know, it's a concussion thing.
-I'm leaving.
Leaving Paul?
You already told me that.
No. Here. The facility.
Oh, wow.
Doctors gave you the go-ahead?
No.
Oh.
But I can leave whenever I want to.
Legally.
Nobody can keep me here
against my will.
Right. It's just that, like,
you can't even walk.
Sorry.
Bess
I just I just feel like that,
if you come home now,
then doesn't that put, like,
a bunch of pressure on the fam?
Just saying.
Okay.
-Where are we?
-Don't worry. It's close.
I got ya.
-Is this illegal?
-Yes. And dirty.
But that's the point.
Graffiti is about disenfranchised
people taking up space.
-You've heard of Keith Haring?
-No.
Oh! Blessed child.
I envy all that you'll learn.
-Tosh?
-Hey!
Tosh! What's up?
Tosh, this is my homegirl, Violet.
Vi, Tosh.
-They're a dope-ass artist.
-Cool.
-7ven tells me you paint.
-Acrylic. Nothing like this.
There's overlap.
-You ever tried spray before?
-No.
Come on.
-Bring it on.
-Oh, we brung. BYOP. P for paint.
Go fuck up that wall.
You're really handy.
You're going to make a very good
husband to a nice lady some day.
What?
Nothing.
So
you said you were hiring me.
Excuse me?
You said I was hired
to do this work with you.
I did hire you.
But you're not paying me.
I don't understand.
I've been working with you
for a while now,
and you haven't given me any money.
You want money?
For the work I'm doing. Yeah. I do.
Like allowance? Like white people
give their children?
No. Not like allowance.
Like what you have to do by law
when you hire someone.
Okay, okay.
Don't call your lawyers.
It was so cool, Mom.
-We were at this abandoned factory.
-The mural was freakin' big.
And I couldn't even control
the paint at first.
But Tosh turned everything I did
into something that just worked.
-Who's Tosh again?
-An artist I've exhibited.
From Brooklyn!
Does street and gallery.
Oh, sweetie, can you grab me
a fiver from my wallet,
and go get me a bag of chips
from down the hall?
The food here is inedible.
We'll take lots of pics tonight
so you can see.
-All dressed, please.
-Okay.
Thank you.
-Why isn't Sabi here?
-They had to take on another gig.
And I was hanging with Vibe anyway.
How many days a week do you see her?
I mean, a bunch. I just go hang out
with Sabi and the kids.
Just feels that weird someone
twice my daughter's age
wants to hang with her so much.
Why is that weird?
I was just wondering
what you get out of it.
Like I said,
I think she's really cool.
Here's what I think.
I think you're an insecure adult
thriving off a child's adoration.
And I see you getting bored with her
and ditching her,
and her heart will break.
So, what I'm saying, 7ven, is
ditch Violet now so it hurts less.
Or don't ever ditch her.
I have a cancellation policy.
You'll have to pay for the session.
Hello?
Paul Kaneko-Bauer? Lynn Evans.
Discharge planner, Toronto East
Rehabilitation Facility.
Dropping off the adaptive equipment.
The what?
Bessy made arrangements. We were
told the family would be notified.
-Can I
-Yeah. Yeah, sure.
This, major tripping hazard.
Where possible, you're gonna want
everything unobstructed.
Where's your nearest washroom?
-Hi!
-Hi!
This is equipment
and other associated costs.
It doesn't include OTs, PSWs
or other assistance.
That is for a follow-up visit.
I urge you to coordinate
with your insurance providers.
Where is the station
going to be located?
Her station?
Here.
Here could be a good spot. You were
moving the furniture, remember?
Yeah. That's true.
-Lynn.
-Sabi. Nice to meet you.
My team is gonna need
about an hour to set up.
-I can help with that.
-Marvellous. Let's go.
-So, Ismail was here.
-Nope.
-I barely said anything.
-It was the way you said it.
You don't know what I was gonna say.
Just get it out.
-You know why family's important?
-Everyone says so.
You don't know
because you are young.
And nothing truly terrible
has happened to you.
Family is the deepest form of love
because they can never leave you.
That sounds like prison.
However this circles back to Ismail,
I wanna remind you we're cousins.
His mother and I are old friends.
You are not cousins.
Bring my chai earlier today. Please.
-Love is comfort. It can be deep.
-You know where there isn't comfort?
Inside me right now
'cause of this conversation.
I'll never check this!
Hey, it's me again.
You said we were gonna
hit up the wall. Where you at?
Okay, bye.
Were you in on this?
Seriously?
Arranging it all? Behind my back?
Oh, my God, no. Bessy told me
she was gonna stay at the clinic.
I don't think I can take
one more thing.
Violet just
I'll go check on her.
-Hey, Vi?
-Yeah?
-Hey, what's up?
-Nothing.
-You sure?
-Yep.
Aren't you supposed to be hanging
with 7ven tonight?
Yep.
Hey. You're really home.
That's pretty badass.
I want my life back. Now.
Gotcha.
So, look
I'm not really paid
to deal with your marriage,
or unmarriage or whatever.
I'm also, like, not paid
to handle your care.
-Are you quitting?
-No. I didn't say that. I
I wanna be here for you.
I wanna help you.
I just, like
I need my role to be clear.
And if I'm gonna take care of you,
then that's what I should do.
And I need, like,
a real-ass salary to do that.
She was full-on
dressing me down, yo.
Telling me
not to hang with her child.
-What am I supposed to do?
-You have to call Vi.
You can't just ghost a kid.
You can't ghost people.
Honestly, I'm afraid to talk to her.
It was like a restraining order.
Bessy was super mean, yo.
Yeah. I wonder why she did that.
Hey.
Hi.
Whatcha doin'?
Just listening to something.
Nothing big.
You okay?
Can I get in?
Yeah. Come on, baby.
Do you wanna talk about it?
Nope.
What are you doing out here?
Processing.
Gotcha.
So, listen, I talked to Bessy.
My role's gonna officially change
here a bit.
I'm gonna help navigate her care,
coordinate with the team.
Right.
Comes with a bit of a pay increase.
I did research, and there's funds
you can access insurance-wise.
I'll send you the links.
You okay with this?
Does it matter?
Hey, cupcake.
I'm just so not ready for this.
All good things and bad things,
everything must come to an end.
You okay?
Yes.
No. But, yes.
It feels like you're letting go
pretty easily.
Is that what you think I'm doing?
Sabi, I built it, and no one came.
Or not enough of them.
Do you wanna stop hugging now?
No.
I love you.
And thank you.
And you have to pay me
my last paycheck.
Yeah. Yeah!
-Yes, yes, yes.
-I thought it was really odd.
-I am in agreement.
-Not lot of people are.
Oh, hey. Sabi, look at you.
-What does that mean?
-No, you look good.
What are you doing here, Izzy?
Ah, Chillin'.
Iz was reminding me about the time
you borrowed money
to buy the Cruel Intentions
DVD box set. Remember?
You still owe me money for that, yo!
I did pay you back.
Nah, you didn't. Come on.
Is this a fucking dig at me
because of rent?
What? No.
Whatever.
Relax.
I'm flattered you think
I look good, Iz.
Hey, Olympia. It's me.
It seems like you've stopped
responding to my texts for good,
so I'm leaving you a voice note.
All good things and bad things
and everything must come to an end.
Ghosting sucks.
You should know better.
But it happens.
And you helped me.
And even if it hurts right now,
you helped me. So
So, thank you for that.
