Sort Of (2021) s02e06 Episode Script

-Oh, yeah! We're gonna party!
-Ma?
We have interest from another
investor in the art world.
-Who's the investor, 7ven?
-Somebody.
I don't remember why things ended
between us.
Everyone keeps things from me.
We're, like, afraid of you.
-What's going on?
-Your father is drunk.
Of course, I drank.
With this family
I was thinking of taking him to see
the imam at the mosque.
Sabi isn't my issue.
You didn't tell me
your mom is total fire.
-Who wants a tour?
-Oh, yes.
-Yes, come.
-She's competitive with me.
She gets in there, Sabi.
We're gonna go down to the lake.
We'll see you later. Sabi!
Okay. Um, saved by the 7ven.
You are a freaking vampire!
Sabi, tell me I'm not crazy!
Remember when 7ven said
she had a potential investor?
I think she just burned that bridge.
That was brutal!
We got dummied!
I'm, like, so depressed now.
Wait. That chest. Open the chest.
Yeah! Open the chest.
-I'm opening the chest.
-Do it!
My God.
That can't be real, dude.
Is that the flower of synergy?
Choose it. Choose the flower!
Oh, my God. I have never seen the
flower of synergy in my whole life!
Use it!
Henry, you're the best player
to ever play this game!
You're a God! You're immortal.
I heated up this sad chili
that I know you're gonna hate,
and I can't wait
to watch you eat it.
-I'm not hungry.
-Wanna exercise?
-Cross-over toe-tap thingy.
-Okay, knees up.
Nice. Okay. You want my help
crossing your leg over,
-or you think you can do it?
-Help me, and then I'll do it.
I can't stop thinking
about umbrellas.
-Right.
-I hate them.
-Tap.
-Tap what?
Tap on the bed,
then lift the other leg.
Oh, right.
Sweet.
I mean, fundamentally, they needed
an upgrade, like, 400 years ago.
They don't weather the wind well,
they open awkwardly,
and then the buttons last
for like a day.
Sing it, sister.
-What am I supposed to do now?
-Tap.
Oh, fuck.
Why do I keep forgetting that?
Umbrellas don't change. And that
sucks, because design is language.
The way we make things influences
the way that we see the world.
And that is why changing umbrellas
matters.
I totally hate umbrellas now.
And also, it looks like it's gonna
rain so can I borrow one?
Are you leaving already?
Did Deenzie sign over the
incorporation docs?
-Yep. Sending to you now.
-Nice.
And did you get the info
regarding the business account?
-I did.
-Okay, gotcha.
Sev, We just sent you a draft of the
business plan we've been working on.
Uh, hold up.
You just shortened my name.
So?
You do that as playful
lubrication for bad news.
There's no bad news.
Just open the file
so we can discuss.
Fine.
-Okay.
-Right?
Some inclusive nightlife space
and serious gallery presence.
-It's competitive, yo.
-Yeah.
We just feel Bryce probably won't
be the first to pull the trigger.
I think you're right about that.
Yeah.
So, um, remember when you said,
you knew a potential investor
in the art world?
Boom. I knew it was coming.
You know that investor is my ma?
Who else do we have access to
with unbelievable connects
in the art world?
Not to mention,
unbelievably deep pockets?
And who else has unbelievably broken
me with her trespassing behaviour
forcing me to end things
with my soulmate?
Your mother's behaviour? Not Arrow's
boundary-less opportunism?
No one will love me like Arrow.
I feel like Arrow's not ready
for love in their life right now.
Also, you have three NONBI dates
this week.
You know I'm living in a hotel,
right,
'cause I can't be in the same room
as Gaia?
That place where Lenny Kravitz
designed the rooms?
It's breathtaking.
-And your mom's paying for that, no?
-Whatever.
Look, she's totally a disaster
of a parent,
but I think she does care about you.
We just feel this is an opportunity
for her to show up.
Maybe don't take that away from her.
Fine. Let's go to her office.
That's not what I was saying.
You want that money? Let's go.
We're going straight there.
Ask for the money, get out.
-Don't look at her.
-Okay.
-Sabi!
-Oh, wow. Hi.
Oh. Papa Mehboob?
Wow! Aw! Wow!
Isn't it crazy I've known your baby
for almost a decade
and I'm only now meeting you?
I see where Sabi gets
their good looks.
-Aw!
-Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Wolf.
Like an animal?
Is everything okay?
What are you doing here?
I came to celebrate.
I put finishing touch on reno,
and I thought
"What the hell?
Let's go grab ice capp."
Aw.
Um, cool. I just kinda wish
you would have called before.
-We've got some business plan
-No, it's okay.
Wolfie and I got this.
Not every day Pops extends a branch.
So, maybe don't take that
away from him.
Allah hafiz, Mr. Mehboob.
Thank you. Thank you.
Um Do you wanna come in?
Hello?
This is a message
from Obomsawin Public School.
A student in your household,
Henry Kaneko-Bauer
Why are you not at school?
Henry? Hey.
The school told Mom your attendance
this whole month has been spotty.
You wanna talk about that?
Sometimes I gotta be home 'cause
I gotta lead raids in my game.
You have to lead raids
at this time of day?
One of my teammates lives in Fiji.
So, you know, time difference.
She's got school.
You have school!
But she has super-strict parents.
Okay. That's it. Come downstairs.
No.
-Your mother wants to talk to you.
-No.
-He can't say, "no."
-But he did.
We house and feed him.
I think he knows
we'll keep doing that.
-Well, drag him down the stairs.
-Well, I No.
The only idea I ever have
is bribing him with pizza.
That won't work.
But guilt will.
Honestly, I'm
I'm getting concerned
about her blood pressure. so
come downstairs.
I'm not late on any assignments,
and I haven't skipped any tests.
Missing school at my age isn't
gonna ruin my life or kill Mom.
Aqsa told me auntie and uncle
were over.
Yes. I was glad.
And you got sloshed.
-What is sloshed?
-Like, very drunk.
You kids have so many words
for drunk.
I'm cool with it just so you know.
Like, I'm not judging you.
Your sister was very upset, I think.
I'm fully aware you drink
when you're stressed.
Like when you were having trouble
with the store when we were kids.
-You knew I was drinking?
-Totally.
Did Aqsa know?
Nope.
-You want cream?
-No.
Sugar?
Okay.
Um, if you don't mind me asking, uh,
what's stressing you out right now?
You.
Okay. Thank you for your honesty.
-Question.
-Mm-hmm.
Will you come to the mosque with me
to see the imam?
Okay, yeah. You know what?
Sure. Fine.
-Whoa.
-But let's go right now.
-Now?
-Yeah, before the feeling leaves me.
Also if we go right now, we'll catch
the imam before the evening prayer.
-Are you
-I'm still thinking.
Got it.
The timeline seems fast.
We found a space.
We have equity to cover first
and last, but no operating costs,
and no insurance at the moment.
If you do this, you bring
not only angel investment,
but let's face it, cachet.
And 7ven got a second investor
who won't pull the trigger unless,
we believe, someone like you does.
The term angel doesn't represent
what my interest is.
But wait. You are interested?
Of course, she is.
f I'm gonna bring my milkshake
to the yard, then I want a stake.
The Kelis reference is evidence you
need to deepen your cultural cred.
So, maybe soften the type of ball
you're playing.
Mm, okay. Meaningful consultation
and a cut of the revenue.
We will take it to the team.
-I'm not done.
-Bye.
As a condition of the investment,
I want 7ven as exhibits director.
Contractually.
And it's not nepotism.
She knows the scene more
than anyone I'm aware of.
The school board uses a call-bot.
It's the easiest hack ever.
So, wait.
Are you, like, a hacker now?
Are you on the dark net?
This is beyond beyond.
I am beyond right now.
Babe. Babe, it's obvious he just
he wants our attention.
Henry doesn't want attention.
Henry hates attention.
I think it's pretty sad when, you
finally find out that after a month,
your parents didn't know
you were skipping school.
-I'm still gonna kill him.
-What are you doing?
Come on.
-Help me out of the bed!
-You sure you're ready for stairs?
Where are we going?
-He said the side door entrance.
-Seriously?
I think he has
a poor quality phone,
because I couldn't hear
properly after,
-"Meet at the side door entrance."
-There he is.
I will go talk to him.
You wait here.
All right.
-That's it.
-Shh! Concentrating.
Okay.
I just wanna be clear
about a couple things.
Exhibits director is not
a new title for me.
So if I'm gonna bring my goods
to the yard,
we'll need to acknowledge terms.
-Here we go.
-You can buy into what we're doing
and how we're doing it,
or we can walk.
-And go where?
-Do you see?
Let's backtrack. I see some space
to resolve conflicts-slash
negotiate about how
we're gonna negotiate maybe.
7ven, sit down.
That's it.
I'm sorry this is
the only private space
we have available at the moment.
Now, tell me,
what needs to be discussed.
My father is finding it difficult
to process who I am as a person.
Did I say that okay?
Maybe.
I'm coming for you, buddy.
-Holy shit.
-Calm down.
-You walked up the stairs.
-Calm down.
-You just did it.
-Paul. Please just calm down.
-Or I'll pass out.
-Okay.
Henry.
There will be a lot of problems
if he continues to live this way.
It's a very difficult life.
I understand that.
I don't.
The life you are choosing, Sabi,
it is dangerous.
You know this very well.
I think it's, like an honest life,
you know?
I'm trying to be honest
about what I feel inside.
To myself, to you, to the world, or
whatever, which is, like,
okay, maybe that's hard, but
isn't it harder to pretend
to be someone you're not?
Being the way you are
makes you easy target.
Bad things will happen to everyone.
I'm not gonna, like, not live.
I understand that, too.
-You do?
-You do?
I think here,
we need to let go of control.
We can't control each other's minds
or actions.
Or your child's future, Imran bhai.
The only thing we can do,
in this case,
is to try and understand each other.
And why is that, you ask?
Because to love someone,
you need to understand them.
Right now, your father does not
understand you.
So, you must help him to.
And with understanding,
there will be love.
Simple like that.
Open this door! Henry.
You walked up the stairs?
-Holy shit.
-Henry,
if we
I tried to bring you this flower
when you were in the ICU.
Really?
Okay. I'm not gonna be distracted by
this incredibly beautiful gesture.
Look, I am super upset with you
right now.
What justification could you
possibly have
for missing that much school?
It just felt kinda weird, just going
on like nothing ever happened.
-Can I ask you a question?
-Sure.
Are you a lesbian?
"7ven has control of
artists featured.
All parties adhere to respect,
health, safety policies.
Gaia may not use these terms
in reference to 7ven,
girl, girlfriend, homegirl,
girlypop, girl-icious.
Must use chosen name.
Gaia may not remove clothes
in workplace or vacation property.
7ven is prohibited from eating
dumplings in Gaia's presence."
-Did I miss anything?
-Good for me.
And for me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That woman that you heard me talking
to, she's an ex-girlfriend.
But there's a lot of love between
us. But she isn't my family now.
You are. And you always will be.
So, is there anything else
you wanna ask or say?
I don't know. I guess, once you get
better, are you gonna leave us?
Why would I do that?
'Cause you're queer.
The thing about the word "queer",
is that it's
expansive.
It means different things
to different people.
And for me, it just means
that I don't feel comfortable
in the shapes
The normal shapes of how to be.
It doesn't mean I'm leaving you.
And it doesn't mean
that I don't love your dad.
Feels like you don't love Dad.
Relationships take their own shapes,
and they change.
And, um
I don't know. What shape
would you say that we're in?
Blob shape.
Definitely blob shape.
Can we go get an ice capp now?
I don't know
what I wanted from this.
Talking with the imam.
Feels like you wanted to fix me.
What you think of me, abbu
Um
It's so important to me.
I can't help it.
That imam needs more training.
You know why?
Because it's not true.
You don't need to understand someone
before loving them.
I don't understand you at all.
-Jill came here?
-Yeah.
Why didn't you tell me
that was happening?
I just
I've been confused
since I opened my eyes.
Since before that maybe.
Yeah
Maybe.
Something to eat?
Not chili.
-Queen!
-King!
-How'd it go with Papi?
-Uh, weirdly good!
-How'd it go with Mami?
-Weirdly good!
-Mm. Hey.
-Mm, you smell like peaches.
So, do we have
a financial commitment?
-We got terms to bring to the team.
-Who's the team?
-You.
-I'm the team?
Deenzie, too,
technically if he wants.
And fingers crossed, Bryce.
-Yeah.
-That's not a bad thing.
-Can we get fucked up?
-Oh, yeah.
Pour some tequila on that ass, baby!
All I've got is wine, so
