Shrinking (2023) s02e05 Episode Script

1
[announcers chattering on TV]
[cheering on TV]
- There we go.
- [exclaims]
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Finally. Geez. [sighs]
- What's with you?
- Hmm?
We're trying to enjoy the game
and he wants to spoil the vibe
and talk about real stuff.
[sighs]
Eventually you're gonna have to talk
to your dad about how he let you down.
Come on, man.
I told you he sucks.
- It's not gonna happen.
- Okay.
It will [sighs]
when you're ready.
Until then, I've decided that we're both
gonna be available to you from now on.
But I would not call
Paul after 8:00 p.m.,
because last time he answered the
phone from his bathtub with Julie.
How big is your tub?
Not that big.
Ooh. My man.
[Sean, Jimmy laugh]
But as far as your treatment is
concerned, I'm still in charge.
Think of me as as, uh
as Santa, and Jimmy as
Do not make me an elf, Paul.
I'm s-so much bigger than you.
You can be a reindeer.
Not the fancy one
with the red nose,
b-but one of the randos
in the back, like Fluffer.
Fluffer's not a reindeer, Paul.
Fluffer and reindeer
are such different jobs.
So, how am I supposed to deal
with working with my dad every day
until I figure this shit out?
Just love him.
Goodwill is everything.
If you meet him with that
when you're ready to talk,
it'll come from a great place.
Oh. Game's back.
Unless Jimmy wants me to
talk about my dad now.
I'm guessing he wasn't
much of a hugger.
No, he wasn't.
You two ever kiss on the lips?
All the time.
- [grunts, laughs]
- [laughs]
Oh, my God. [groans]
- Hey.
- [patient 1] Hi.
Sorry I'm late. I was with my mom.
She was in an accident but she's okay.
She drove into a tow truck.
Actually, onto a tow truck.
The good news is,
the tow truck driver was able to
take the car straight to the shop.
Whew.
All right. [stammers, sighs]
- So, um
- [clears throat]
Do you know what's crazy?
Now, my sister wants me to
convince our blind-as-hell mom
to get her eyes fixed.
And it's like, dude,
why is it always on me?
I taught our mom how to use a smartphone.
I got her into physical therapy.
I got her out of Herbalife
which was actually
I'm so sorry to interrupt,
but has our time started?
We got into a huge fight last night
and I just kinda wanna get into it.
My bad. This is your time.
Hit me. Okay, what
was the fight about?
Well [sighs] I always
have gum when he wants it but
[sighs]
he never has gum when I want it.
I don't like things in
my pockets and, um
- [sighs]
- [clicks tongue] Never mind.
What, do you guys feel like shit
now because your stuff is so trite?
- Yeah, a little bit.
- Yeah.
Don't. You're paying
me. So let's do this.
- Come on, guys. Shake it off.
- [Mark sighs]
Mark, why don't you like
stuff in your pockets?
[sighs]
I am not her purse!
My cell phone, my gum, my Invisalign
case. That is not that many things.
I'm sorry. Then we also have
the sunglasses, the protein bars
and the chargers.
Are you kidding me?
Are you fucking kidding me?
- Hey.
- I think the watercooler's broken.
Yeah? What do you
think is wrong with it?
Oh, the compressor must've slipped
and blocked the filter hinge.
- How the fuck would I know?
- [sighs] If you're having a crap day,
we're drinking at Liz's
later, if you wanna join us.
Don't give me hopeful eyebrows.
I can't control them.
They're dreamers.
Jimmy, please. I keep trying to find
nice ways to tell you that I need space.
The ball is in my court.
You are ball-less.
Well, that's not entirely true.
They're sort of what got us here.
[groans]
[sighs]
- I just miss you.
- Well, suck it.
Cowboy boots on a baby?
Is she already a stripper?
I'd know that judgmental
tone anywhere.
Mac? Oh, my God. Hi.
Come here. Hey, there.
[grunts] Ah, wow. You
haven't aged a day.
That's a good start.
And so skinny, you seem
like you might be sick.
Oh, my God. Thank you so much.
So, what's it been?
Twenty-five years?
Tell me everything. What
have you been up to?
Um, so many cool things.
Uh, having kids.
Rocks.
Are you still taking pictures?
You were always so good at it.
Yeah, I've actually been doing,
um, wildlife photography.
- It's not a big deal. It's, you know
- Hello.
[sighs] How did us getting
wine and snacks together
turn into you handing me a list and me
finding everything and paying for it?
Because that's how I shop.
Then don't get mad at me
if I got the wrong cheese.
- Did you get the wrong cheese? Ah.
- I got the wrong cheese.
- Hey. I'm Jimmy. I'm Liz's errand boy.
- Hey, I'm Mac.
- Short for Macaulay?
- No.
Oh, bummer.
Uh, how do you two
know each other?
- Old friends.
- Sex.
Two of my favorite things.
Um, well, it was
great to see you.
You too, Lizzie.
Hmm.
Don't say it. Don't say it.
- Lizzie.
- [laughs]
- [laughing] I told you not to say it.
- [laughs]
I'm not being weird. I
promise nothing is wrong.
Are you sure? 'Cause you
can tell me anything.
The only thing I can't handle is
a liar, 'cause I don't do secrets.
I'm in my honesty era.
Hey. [stammers] Uh [scoffs]
Summer, is that my shirt?
I found it in a basket.
I got glitter on it. My
B, pimp. I'll go change.
- Thanks, Summer. [sighs]
- No problem.
- Oh, my God. You hate her.
- I don't hate her.
I just hate everything she
says and does. [chuckles]
I love this for you.
I wish Gaby was here,
but thanks to Jimmy's
sad and selfish penis,
she's once again not coming.
My penis is neither
of those things.
It's optimistic and it
always puts others first.
So, your penis is like Elmo?
Same color. Much
deeper voice though.
- Tickle me. Tickle me.
- [Brian] Ooh. [chuckles]
Stop. No, stop. Stop that.
- My dick sounds like André the Giant.
- [Brian, Derek laugh]
[imitates André the Giant] Hello,
lady. Anybody want a penis?
Uh, would anyone like
some wrong cheese?
I'll take some, Lizzie.
We ran into this guy
who calls her Lizzie.
[gasps]
Oh, you, uh you ran into Mac?
Were you gonna tell me?
It was nothing.
What? I I don't know
what's going on here.
- I didn't think anything bothered Derek.
- No, I'm not jealous.
I mean, I don't care about any of
the people she slept with before me.
Not her college boyfriend,
not Lenny Kravitz
Whoa. Really?
Well, I mean, I thought
he was Lenny Kravitz
and he didn't correct
me for quite some time.
There's [sighs] something about
this Mac guy that just gets under my skin.
Here we go.
If she asked him to run away with
her, he wouldn't think twice.
Gone. Poof. Puff of smoke.
- And it's so disrespectful, right?
- Yeah.
Right.
- Dude.
- I'm sorry.
I'm-I'm really
Seriously, I'm sorry.
- Hey, Dad.
- Oh, good. You found your wallet.
Yeah. Unfortunately, it still does
not have a credit card inside of it.
Can I borrow some money
for some school stuff?
What kinda school stuff?
A smash burger.
- That sounds about right.
- Yeah.
- Hey.
- Hi.
I'm sorry. I had to.
- You had to
- You slut!
- [Brian] Whoa!
- [shrieks, grunts]
- How could you?
- [Jimmy] Shit!
- [Alice, Summer screaming, grunting]
- Hey, easy!
- Ow! My boob!
- [screaming]
- Hey, Summer. Use your words.
- [screams]
You said he looked like one of the
little statue boys who pee in fountains
and you fucked him anyway.
[Connor] Summer, hold up.
[Summer] Do not follow me!
- [Jimmy] You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
[sighs]
[exhales deeply]
Well, sad for Connor.
Happy for me.
["Frightening Fishes" by
Benjamin Gibbard playing]
Hey. How's the boob?
It hurts.
[Jimmy sighs]
- This is why I never fuck with redheads.
- [sighs]
My hands are covered in glitter.
- [sighs] I deserved that.
- [sighs]
I'm really such a piece of shit.
Hey. Don't go there.
[breathes deeply] I wanna start
this conversation [clears throat]
by letting you know that
I am a sex-positive dad.
Gross. No, we're not doing that.
Thank God. [sighs]
What do you think's going on?
I mean, you never really seemed
that interested in Connor.
I don't wanna talk about it.
Okay.
I did kinda feel like we were
starting to get to the point
where we could share anything.
Do you really believe that or are you
just trying to guilt me right now?
Can it be both?
[sighs]
This is the part I normally
storm away but I'm in pain.
Do you want me to do it for you?
- Sure.
- [imitates Alice] God, Dad.
[scoffs]
And you know, I
would come home more
if my sister wasn't always
up my ass all the time.
You know, former addicts are always
just so judgy. It's like, shit.
So, you grew up taking care of an
addict and then you married one.
[chuckles] Interesting.
Cool observation, Paul.
Definitely never thought of that.
Look, I get the family shit.
My daughter comes to
town to give a speech
and now she, my cardboard son-in-law
and my ex-wife are in my home.
I assume they plan on
murdering me with small talk.
What's your ex-wife like? Is she
a hot piece of ass like Julie?
Nobody's as hot as Julie.
That's the correct answer, and I
will report that back to my queen.
- My man! [laughs] She's so hot.
- [laughs]
Um, listen, I know you
said you needed some space.
- I don't mean to cross
- [Paul] Oh. Uh,
could you just stop
talking for just a second?
- Why?
- So I can leave.
I am so bored with this shit.
- Okay.
- Everyone is.
Who's everyone, Paul? It's
just three of us who work here.
Gaby, look, I need
some help with Alice.
Mm-hmm. I heard
about that tit punch.
That's crazy Connor has two
hot girls fighting over him.
That poor little cherub has
no idea he peaked at 19.
[chuckles]
I just wish I knew why Alice did it,
you know? But she won't talk to me.
Tell me you didn't guilt her.
I don't guilt children.
I guilted her so bad.
Why do you always have
to make shit about you?
You wanna be friends again?
Real friends tell each other
hard truths, so here you go.
All Alice needs is to feel loved, and
maybe take her out and cheer her up
so she doesn't feel like
the whole world is ending.
You don't need to know why she
bonked her best friend's boyfriend.
She knows why she did it.
Besides, nobody's hiring
you to teach a master class
on how to choose an
appropriate fuck buddy.
I know you're just being mean but
that would be a super popular class.
["Kevin's Car" playing]
You didn't have to drive me.
Are you kidding? I wanted to.
That's what you decided to wear
on your first day of school?
You look like a police
sketch. [chuckles]
I'm sure Summer already told
everybody about what I did,
so it's time to go
be the school slut.
You know what?
Put your Put your
seat belt back on.
What? Why?
[music continues]
Okay.
- [Jimmy] Whoo!
- [school bell rings]
[Alice] A tattoo? Really?
You're turning 18
in a few weeks.
I figure you're gonna get
one whether I say yes or not.
Definitely.
Though, I was gonna get it
somewhere you'd never see.
For all I know, you
did that already.
[laughs]
You laughed way
too hard at that.
[guests chattering]
Here you go, grumpy.
Eat something.
[Paul's ex-wife] Well,
you must be a saint.
The only thing I can think of worse
than being in a relationship with Paul
is being in a relationship
with an old Paul.
[chuckles] Luckily,
he's afraid of me.
Congrats.
There he is.
[Paul's ex-wife laughs]
- [grunts]
- [doorbell rings]
How cool is it that Susie
and Julie are hitting it off?
So cool, Dave.
Hope they talk about how I fuck.
- Right. Uh, well So, how are
- Get me a glass of red wine, will you?
Yep. Coming up.
[Julie] I'm lucky for every
hour I get past sunset.
Here's Kevin.
Why does he call you Kevin?
He's trying to keep me
grounded, but it's not working.
- Hello, beautiful Julie.
- Brian. [chuckles]
And you must be beautiful
Susan. Charmed, I'm sure.
- I like him.
- Yeah, he's very sparkly.
Sorry that I'm late.
I was meeting someone.
Oh, and I got your
all-caps email.
The answer is no, you can't sue your
neighbor for hosting a drum circle.
It's weekly, Kevin.
All right, everyone. Grab your cocktails.
We're playing running charades.
- Dad, your favorite.
- [sighs]
- What's running charades?
- How the fuck would I know?
Oh, listen. Before you play, I made
the revisions to the family trust.
- I just need Susan to sign this.
- Susan.
We probably should've done
this back when Mason was born,
but Paul was busy hiding
from me for 20 years.
- [laughs] You're fun.
- Thank you.
- She's fun.
- So fun.
Yeah. [chuckles] Hey, Dave.
So, what I was trying
to tell you earlier
- No.
- Nope.
You gotta get me outta here.
No, no, no. Do not
involve me in this.
I won't.
Uh, everyone, I'm sorry. I gotta go
to Kevin's office and sign this thing.
There's some problem.
He'll explain why.
[stammering] I need
Paul to sign this
- in front of a notary
- Oh, man.
And the only guy I know can't
walk, so we gotta go to him.
It's a tragic story really.
Jesus Christ.
- [phone buzzes]
- Oh.
- Hi.
- Is that Mac?
Tell him I said hi.
And Mac's a stupid name.
[sighs]
How you doing?
It's a total shit show here.
Derek's torturing me
and Connor's gone back
into full whiny bitch mode.
- Mom?
- Yes, sweetheart?
Can I watch TV in your room?
Of course. I love you so much.
Oh, my God. What a
puss. How are you?
Prepping for the worst,
but you know, we got this.
We are strong, Black women.
Okay. I'ma let you get away with
that just this once. [grunts]
- Copy that.
- Bye.
Oh, you think 'cause you got
that big-ass water bottle
that you better than everybody?
Mind your own damn
business, Mr. Bailey.
Shit.
You waiting on an invite
or did you just forget this is
your house since you never visit?
Dragging me from the
front porch, huh?
Oh, she porch-drag everybody.
- Shut the fuck up, Mr. Bailey.
- Yeah, be quiet, Mr. Bailey.
- Damn.
- Damn.
[Gaby] Looking like a
Splash Mountain operator.
[needle buzzing]
Dad, are you not gonna look?
No. But it sounds
and smells amazing.
Done.
- What's "TL" stand for?
- It's my mom's initials.
Hey, what was the deal
with Mom's tattoos?
Was there any special meaning behind
the skeleton on the skateboard?
There was, as a matter of fact.
It meant that she was very drunk
that night, so [chuckles]
You want some ink? Give
you a buy one, get one.
I don't think I'm really
interested in a discount tattoo.
Dad, it would mean a lot to me if
we both had Mom's initials tattooed.
Are you guilting me now?
Please?
[sighs] Fuck.
So, what was that
back at your place?
- No, thank you.
- Oh, come on. You can talk to me.
We're in the cone of silence.
Did you ever cheat on one
of your romantic partners?
Not sure how much you know about
the gay community in California
but we're very big on monogamy.
Oh.
Well, in the '60s
it was the opposite.
How about that?
For the record, I've
never cheated on Charlie.
Susan and I got married
so fucking young.
And just when Meg came
along, my career took off.
Books, speaking
tours, the whole deal.
We grew apart. [sighs]
So you were a cliché.
I'm not interested in your
participation in my story.
Yeah, right.
We had a big fight.
Didn't speak for days.
And then one morning, she calls
my hotel room and says she's sorry
but what she doesn't know is that
there's another woman in my bed.
Gasp.
[chuckles] Sorry.
I admitted it and she
took Meg away so fast.
[chuckles]
I was so full of shame that
I didn't really fight back.
I have no idea why she
wants to reconnect now.
Why don't you just ask her?
Because if it's got anything to do
with the past, I'm not interested.
So you're scared?
I'm not scared.
[breathes deeply]
I'm apprehensive. [sighs]
A solid synonym for scared.
[breathes deeply]
I love pain.
Okay.
Drive me home now, Kevin.
[Jimmy screaming]
Dad. Dad.
Dad.
[grunts] Is that one needle?
That's one needle? That's one
needle? Is that one needle?
Answer me! Is that one needle? I just
wanna know how many needles it is.
[laughs]
[sighs] Her eyes
have gotten so bad.
- She needs the cataract surgery.
- [sighs]
I'm afraid she
gon' hurt herself.
And she always got a tit out.
I mean, Mom's tits have always
been out. She's proud of 'em.
And you know she's stubborn.
She might not even listen to me.
Oh, please.
She's gonna be all,
"Gaby, my baby angel.
Are you tired? Why don't you lay
your head on my loose titty?"
- Okay.
- [Gaby's mom] Oh!
- There's my baby angel.
- Mama.
- Oh, Mama.
- Oh. It's so good to see you.
[chuckles, gasps] Ooh,
you hair looks amazing.
See, I told you her
eyes aren't working.
Oh, my God, be quiet.
[stammers]
It's a 15-minute in-office
procedure. What are you so afraid of?
I know they cut
open your eyeball.
How else they gon' get in there?
I don't want 'em in there.
Then you can't drive no more
- Okay.
- Who are you talking [stammers]
- Wait, wait. Mom.
- You a danger to the road.
What?
Mom, can you please get
the surgery? For me?
All right, fine. For you.
But I don't want no eye patch
though. I ain't no damn pirate.
[clicks tongue] Okay,
now you say "Thank you,"
and then I will say
"You're welcome."
Fuck you, Gaby.
You are welcome.
- The shelter isn't using my dog pics.
- [sighs]
They say it's easier to just take
them on their phones and post them.
Do you believe this shit?
Okay.
I know you love giving
me the silent treatment,
but remember if it goes longer
than two days I start to like it.
[grunts] I'll talk
to you this weekend.
Goddamn, I just talked.
[Liz] Hey, Connor.
I was thinking, with Summer,
why don't you just be
grateful for the amazing
and emotional nine
days you had together?
- Ten.
- Even more meaningful.
But you've got to go back to
college in a positive headspace.
I mean, the semester
starts soon, yeah?
Classes started last week.
[stammers] I was having
such a good time with Summer
and now I feel like I have to
stay so that I can fix this.
Please don't be mad.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
[clicks tongue] I
feel like you're mad.
I'm not mad.
Um, I just need some air though.
[Jimmy hums]
- Hey, Liz.
- Oh, my God, he's everywhere.
Check this out. I got
matching tattoos with Alice.
That's Tia's initials.
At first, I thought it might be tricky,
you know, when I start dating again,
to have another woman's
initials on my arm,
but then I realized it's a pretty cool
way to tell someone my wife's dead.
Not now, Jimmy. [sighs]
Everything okay?
Earth to Lizzie.
Lizzie, you okay? Lizzie.
You can't help
yourself, can you?
Fine. Do you know where Alice
got the idea for a tiny tattoo?
From me. From my tiny tattoos.
We came up with it back when
I was raising her for you.
Oh, and do you know
what I just found out?
Connor's school just
started, but he's not there,
because he's in my kitchen crying
because your daughter slept with him
and fucking exploded his life.
- Oh, boy.
- [imitates Jimmy] Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
- I don't sound like that.
- That's exactly how you sound.
Listen, Connor is
the one who cheated.
Do you really think there's a world
where Connor gets to choose who he fucks?
- No.
- I feel like I'm losing it, Jimmy.
And every time I feel that way, I
can trace it back to one person.
Yeah. You.
And many, many thanks for
bringing Sean into my life
so I could start a business
and Oh, find my purpose.
"Find your purpose, Liz."
Now, it's turned into a giant
shit pie that I have to eat.
- It's not my fault that you went
- I am not done yet.
You totally fucked up our friend
group with your needy penis.
Maybe it's not sad or
selfish, but it's so needy.
- It's okay.
- And then,
you mess with Pam's
construction crew.
Now they're throwing
bottles into our yards.
And normally, Derek would
help me through my meltdown,
but thanks to you, he's
not speaking to me,
and for some reason, I
don't like it this time.
I apologized for that
and you forgave me.
You're unforgiven. You
are fucking unforgiven.
And you're the
original unforgiver.
But you don't care. You
don't do anything about it.
Like with Gaby.
I finally had a cool friend.
I even bragged to all the
people I hate about her,
but because she doesn't
come around here anymore,
they don't believe she's real.
And yes, I might've
said she was 7' tall.
But you drove her away and
you've done nothing about it.
You're just sitting around
waiting for someone to gallop
in on their white horse
and fix everything for you because
that's what you fucking do.
Right? Isn't it?
Fuck you, Jimmy.
- [door opens, closes]
- This was a fun day.
If you go the adoption route,
I have a few questions.
And remember, there
are no wrong answers.
Okay, first up, any
racial preferences?
What's Pedro Pascal?
Uh, maybe there are
some wrong answers.
[chuckles] Okay, next question.
Would you be willing to consider
a child with a medical condition
who may require extra care?
Of course.
[mouthing word] No.
[stammers] I can see you.
You can just say no. Lots
of bad people say no.
I have a question.
[breathes deeply]
- What if this baby doesn't take to me?
- Oh.
Can we send it back?
Well, there are no returns, uh, but
there is a 30-day exchange policy.
- Really?
- No. It's a baby. [chuckles]
Is this how it's going to be?
- You'll get used to it.
- [both chuckle]
I don't think I will. [chuckles]
- [chuckling]
- [sighs]
So, let me see. You embarrassed
yourself by being yourself?
How is that my fault?
Because, thanks to you,
I'm freaking out that I'm gonna
end up with an estranged daughter
and an ex who won't speak to me.
Just talk to your ex.
You don't even know
why she's here.
Maybe she found a painting worth a
billion dollars and you get half.
It could be fun news.
- [scoffs]
- [Susan laughs]
- [Dave chattering]
- [Susan laughs]
Susan.
[whispering] Why are you here?
I had a friend who recently
got diagnosed with Parkinson's.
She died a few months later.
And I felt like you and I should
talk again before you die.
You were right.
Fun news.
I like it. Why don't
you brainstorm on it
and then we will actually
get more into that next week.
Sounds good. Thanks,
Professor Evans.
All right. Bye. Bye.
Professor Evans?
Okay. Well, can you please go pick
up Mom from her surgery on Monday?
- Mmm. Mmm.
- I'd super appreciate it. Thank you.
No, I can't, actually,
because I have clients all day
and then I have class
Why? What are you doing?
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not
allowed to have a life?
Come on. This is
why you live here.
No, I live here to wait on Mom and
drive her back and forth to dialysis.
You know what it's like to
take care of somebody 24-7?
I do actually, because
growing up I did it.
We all did.
Do you know how many sacrifices
I had to make for you?
Do you know how many school
dances I missed out on,
because we were getting
you in and out of rehab?
I could've ground
on so many dudes.
- You did fine.
- Whatever.
Spare me the pity party, all right.
It's your turn to come through.
I know I spent the past couple
years taking care of Mom
because that's my penance.
I put everyone through hell.
I just didn't think I'd have to spend
the rest of my life paying for it
while you get to go out
there and just live yours.
Nothing else to say? I thought
people paid you to talk.
Actually they pay me to listen.
I have been avoiding you
because I'm a coward.
Not how I would've phrased it.
What would you say?
Little baby chicken bitch.
It's better.
To be honest with you, I thought you were
coming out here to make me feel guilty.
But if I practice what I preach,
I really should have met
you with more goodwill.
Great call on these pliers, Dad.
Ah, yeah. Perfect
for deveining shrimp.
Yeah. And there's no one I'd
rather devein shrimp with than you.
[chuckling] Okay.
Look, I want to, uh, talk
to you about something.
I followed you home
the other night.
- I saw you live with your therapist.
- Yeah.
What's really going on? I'm not
mad, I just want it to make sense.
[sighs]
I want us to be able
to be around each other
while we still can.
Remember Meg's
boring school plays?
We used to pass around that
flask and play pick-and-sip.
Every time a kid picked his
nose, we'd take a drink.
Nasty little fuckers
got us hammered.
How did we get here? Why can't
we be around each other at all?
Because I cheated.
And I fucked it all up.
I couldn't forgive myself,
so how could you forgive me?
Paul, you're forgiven.
Jesus, I forgave
you a long time ago.
You could've told me.
- Where would be the fun in that?
- [chuckles]
Yeah, you were an asshole,
but I resented your success.
And I know I made
things harder for you.
[door opens]
Everyone okay out here?
We're all good.
Talking.
This is good.
Still, no matter what
we did to each other,
we made Meg.
And she's perfect.
Yeah, she is.
And now Mason. Can you
believe how lucky we are?
What about Dave?
I didn't mention him, did I?
Susan, thank you for this.
And them.
When you're connected by
so much family and love,
forgiveness is the easy part.
So, I asked for your help and
maybe I didn't do it right but
I guess it felt like you let me down
and I didn't know how to tell you.
Maybe I didn't wanna tell you.
[exhales deeply]
I knew this shit would happen.
Fucking therapists.
Always telling you
to blame the parents.
Nobody told me to blame you.
Now, what was the
worst thing I did?
Was it the 23 years of
loving you no matter what?
Was it draining my savings to hang
with you in this fucking truck
even though I have
a full-time job?
Tell me what I did
to let you down.
Tell me.
Exactly.
Save the bullshit
for someone else.
[breathing deeply]
Jimmy, what the hell
are you doing here?
Just so you know my
intentions are pure.
What the fuck, dude?
Shit! That is a mistake. I thought
I was wearing black underwear.
Look, I'm here because I feel
like you might need some support.
And for whatever reason, your mom and
your sister seem to really like me.
That's 'cause I used to tell
them you were fucking awesome.
I'm not doing a very good
job at giving you your space.
[sighs] And I will
be better about that.
If now's not a good time, I
totally get it and I'll split.
["Bittersweet" playing]
[sighs]
You coming inside or what?
And then Courtney has
the nerve to call me out
like I'm holding her
hostage or some shit.
Can you believe that?
[breathes shakily, chuckles]
What's happening?
I drove over here to
be supportive of you,
but then you also said that friends
tell each other hard truths.
This is awful. Can I
take a quick shower?
No. Spit it out.
- Your sister's right, Gaby.
- Oh, my God. Fuck off.
Come on, she is. She's
right. You know it.
[sighs] Goddamn it.
- Sorry.
- [sighs, groans]
Do you want me to split now?
Nice try.
Dinner's gonna suck
balls, so you're staying.
- Do they know we slept together?
- No.
Then I got my icebreaker.
[chuckles]
You're stupid.
[sighs]
[knocks on door]
- Hey.
- Hey.
I DoorDashed you tacos, but
they brought me the wrong order,
so here is CVS-brand Robitussin
and those acne nose pore strips.
Actually sounds
like a fun night.
[music continues]
I'm really sorry for
messing everything up.
You hurt Connor, and I love him
more than anyone in the world.
But I love you second best.
You have two other sons.
I said what I said.
You and me, we're
gonna be good, right?
You've got a rock. I
just need a little time.
Okay.
- Was that enough time?
- Almost.
As you can see, we can improve
photovoltaic absorption
with semi-conductor materials,
fine-tuned for specific spectral ranges.
I should mention these
[continues indistinctly]
- Come on.
- Yeah, child.
I put a little sugar in it too.
- The sure is Gouda.
- Get your elbow off the table, baby.
- Yeah. Get your elbow
- Oh, Lord have mercy
They picked up the
trash cans this morning.
Why are your garbage
cans still on the street?
- [groans]
- Why the hell are you in our lawn?
We're not doing this
with you, Mr. Bailey.
You're a garbage can.
Yeah. Screw you, Mr. Bailey.
- [gasps]
- You don't do that.
You show that man some respect.
He's a veteran.
Apologize to him.
Yes, ma'am.
[clears throat] I'm sorry, sir.
[clears throat] Thank
you for your service.
There. Good.
Now, get on out of
here. Crazy person.
[chuckles]
[construction crew
chattering, laughing]
[engine starts]
- That motherfucker. Yeah. Yeah.
- [laughing]
What the fuck?
You forgot that.
Don't take another step unless
you wanna get your ass beat.
[chuckles] Big mistake.
- You really want this? Come get it.
- [crew member 2] Okay. Here he comes.
- [scuffling]
- [grunting]
