Dollface (2019) s02e10 Episode Script

I finally go for a job and get professionally ghosted.
Ring, asshole! Ring for me with this new job! Ring-a-ling! Sorry, had to.
Well, I'm thrilled my emotional turmoil is funny to you.
I finally decided to follow my dumb dreams.
The least you could do is be supportive.
I am! That's why I'm here to pick up the ladies.
Their time with you has come to an end.
The who what now? Good to see you, Madam Secretary.
Madame Secretary? Secretary of Defense Mechanisms.
This team here has been providing you with round-the-clock emotional protection.
They've been protecting me this whole time? How do I not know about that? That's why they call us the, uh, Secret Service, ma'am.
We've been working 24/7 to keep your expectations low, guard your heart, deflect with humor, and absolutely never let any hope get too high in a way that will result in harm to you.
Well, that all sounds extremely useful.
You're leaving? Well, you don't need them anymore! You are now one of those people who puts themselves out there, - takes risks, goes for things.
- I guess Let's roll, ladies! Wait, if you all go, then I'm on my own! I won't make it! Be careful out there.
Okay.
Grand opening checklist.
Booze and barware.
- Check and check.
- Band? Uh, still working on that.
- Bartenders and bouncers? - Both hired.
Okay, what about stuff with me and you? Haven't gotten there on the list yet.
It's alphabetical, so I'm still on B.
Listen.
I need to know where we stand.
Where you stand.
I know.
I just can't think straight right now, okay? I mean, can we just get through the opening and then deal with us, please? Fine.
I need to go get more toilet paper anyway.
You know, for what it's worth, three ladies rooms was not the best idea.
Holy shit! This is incredible.
I think I found a way to get us to Greece on our birthdays.
Our birthdays are this weekend.
You said there were no flights, so I said let's move on.
And I smiled, but didn't listen.
I reached out to an old contact from my PR days.
She's a travel guru.
She'll get us there.
Women, get over here and get excited about this bar for women! - Holy shit.
- This is gorgeous! I am freaking out for you! Welcome to the Gi Spot.
Hard to find, but once you do, it's a real good time.
Are those tiny bowls of free hair ties? This place is the promised land.
I hope other people like it as much as you guys do because I am so nervous right now.
Like, how do people do this? Well, maybe I can help with that.
Look, I feel horrible for fucking up your whole musical guest situation.
So, to make it up to you, I talked to someone at the LA Reporter, and she's gonna interview you guys and cover the opening for their hot list.
Oh my god, are you serious? Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Delphine replied to the follow-up email Madison insisted I write! I told you being proactive works! Wait, did it work? I'm seeing "thrilled" and "jump on a call to talk about start dates.
" I can't believe this! This was for the opening, but what the hell? - This is a big deal.
- Yes! Woo! - Jules, how do you feel? - Good! Like, really, really good! Wait, what if I ask Fender and the band he's touring with to be your music act for the opening? I mean, yeah, that would be amazing.
Do you think he'd do it? I think he would if he was my boyfriend.
Uh, cheers to that.
Wait, did you say fucking boyfriend? I think I did.
I don't know.
I think I've been beating around the Australian bush for too long.
He's great, and-and-and - I actually wanna go for it.
- Look at you, going for stuff.
- That's what she does these days.
- I'm gonna text him.
- I wanna win Liam back! - Okay, we need more champagne.
The other day, I was watching the auto-generated montage of all the pictures of us on my phone, and it just hit me.
I want him back.
What do I keep saying about pro-activity? You need to reach out to him and tell him how you feel.
With all due respect, that idea stinks.
I need to do something big and dramatic.
Oh fuck.
Speaking of big and dramatic, I just realized if I quit, I have to tell Celeste.
You said you wanted to talk, so do you want to talk? Yes.
Um I do.
I just wanted to say Thank you so much for everything - You're quitting? - Um, I kinda had a whole speech planned out.
- Okay, do your speech.
- It's been amazing working for you, Celeste - So much for my legacy, I guess.
- Okay, I'm just gonna skip to the main part you actually need to hear.
Ah.
You pushing me to take this promotion and to really care? It's what ended up helping me find something else I care about a lot.
So, even though it's not your company, that will always have started with you.
Okay.
And as long as you're not leaving to start yet another fucking women's lifestyle brand, - which you're not, are you? - No.
Then, I am genuinely happy for you.
Honestly, you seem happy.
It's almost scarier than what I was expecting.
Well, my divorce got finalized today, so I guess I'm just having a moment.
Wow, congratulations.
I'm ready for some silence.
I've just been screaming for the past year or so.
I'm headed out tomorrow to a silent meditation retreat.
No phones, no talking.
Just the Maldives.
And you can sneak in wine if you pay the right people.
Well, um - Thanks again for everything.
- Okay.
Did you want a hug? - Not really.
- Great, thank you for that.
G'day, Jules, it's the guy you call Fender.
Congrats on the new job.
And I'm in for the opening.
So, uh, can't wait to see you.
Ooh.
Delphine, hi! I'm so excited.
What? Okay, so what does that mean? The budget? So, like a few months or Wow, longer than.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm sorry, too.
Yeah, thanks.
Morning, superstar! I got you a congratulatory latte from that place with the long fucking line.
The job fell through.
Something about budget and the higher-ups in the department questioning if I have the right experience.
I found out last night after I quit.
Oh my god, Jules.
I am so sorry.
Did you sleep in that? - I didn't sleep.
- We can fix this.
First, we create counterpoints.
Then, we reach out to other modern art museums in LA.
CAMLA is just one of the many options Madison.
Madison, stop.
Okay? There's nothing we can do about this.
So what, you just want to sit here and feel miserable? Well, that's better than trying to control things and making myself miserable that way.
Yeah.
And that's what I do? If I didn't push the museum to give me an answer, I would still have my old job right now.
A job that you don't even want.
That you never wanted.
Wow.
Okay, well, I'm not gonna sit here and feel like this is my fault.
I have to get to my travel guru meeting.
I didn't mean it was I don't subscribe to the pun aesthetic, but I-I do appreciate your sign.
I appreciate your chef selection.
We're texting already.
- Jules still isn't here yet? - No.
No, she's bailing on her own goodbye lunch, which is honestly a very me move.
Okay, so I'm planning a grand gesture to try and win Liam back.
Here's the choices.
Ready? "A," float the idea of a threesome.
"B," make him his favorite dessert.
Or "C," send him a Cameo by Kelly Clarkson.
Mm, this is so hard because they're all equally so bad.
I don't hate the Clarkson one.
- Okay.
- Alright.
Well, the time has come.
I'm off.
Ready for the world to shut the fuck up.
What's the occasion? Oh, Jules' goodbye lunch.
Well, there'll be some big shoes to fill around here.
I'm not paying for that! So, are you gonna go out for the job? Campaign to be the next right hand? Celeste is gonna pick who Celeste wants, and I have to stop trying to force her to notice me the way that I want her to.
Plus, I need to focus all my energy on the one person who's noticed me all along.
Liam.
Oh my god.
I I still have his key.
What do you think his building's policy is on releasing doves inside? Did Celeste leave yet? I have to tell her that I un-quit.
That's like trying to unhookup with someone.
It can't really be done.
I've tried it.
She's gone, Jules.
Turned her phone off, too.
Gone? She can't be gone! God, what am I thinking? I can't be a go-getter.
I have to to go get her! Run, you flaky bitch! Eleanor, you look exactly the same.
You have not changed at all.
Well, I bought some new earrings.
That's pretty much it.
They're jade.
They're beautiful.
So, what's up? I'm really hoping you can help me.
I am desperate to get to Greece with my best friend for our 30th birthdays.
Oh, Greece is magical.
I had a one-night stand there that lasted two years.
Her name was Soledad.
Wow.
Uh Yeah, so all the flights are sold out, but I knew you always had ways of getting people places.
You know, like little inside track, little back-door emergency-type situations.
I can't do Greece.
How about Moscow? Guy chartered a plane for his two Komodo dragons.
They'll be in cages! At least, I think so.
It has to be Greece.
It has to be.
No, it doesn't.
You can go anywhere you want.
No, I can't.
Now, I remember you.
You're the one who hasn't changed.
You need to let go of your itinerary, go somewhere else.
I don't understand.
I mean, you have to make things happen.
You have to have a plan or else you're never gonna get anywhere.
We all wind up going to the same place at the end anyway.
Dead? Florida! My dad was an immigrant.
He owned a bunch of liquor stores, and then from there, he ended up - opening the bar.
- Wow.
So, were you two close? No.
He was a bit of a dick.
Uh, maybe don't write "dick" though.
My mom will give me shit.
Fuck.
Can you not write "shit" either? What about you, Stella? Did you come up through hospitality? Uh, no, actually.
I was in corporate finance before this, so How long did you do that? Twoish days? I mean, you know, three, if you count the one where you fill out all the paperwork.
I just decided it wasn't the right fit.
You know, which is something I thought I wanted when I was at Wharton.
Uh, what year did you graduate there? Well, you know, I technically still have a year left.
But, um just trying to figure out if I'm gonna finish it yet, so I see.
And before business school? Uh, little bit of a lot.
Yeah.
You know, I was kind of hopping, um, hopping from one thing to another for a while.
Not that I do that, but Well, now that you've landed here, do you think this new venture will be the thing you stick with? Oh yeah.
No, definitely.
Yes.
Definitely, I mean We're in it.
Okay.
This is gonna be so romantic No one can resist.
Yes, I do love you, too.
Okay.
I'm sorry, but no.
I refuse to watch Real Housewives with you.
God, you are so stubborn! He's with a girl? God, hold on, hold on.
Something's going on.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh Oh! Ow Uh, Kelly, I gotta call you back.
- Oh my god, your cousin Kelly.
- Whoa Tell her I said hi.
Celeste? Celeste! Flight PF210 to Singapore continuing to the Maldives is now boarding.
Celeste, wait! What-what are you doing here? You've made so much progress.
Don't do this.
- Don't un-quit.
- I have to.
This isn't some stupid vision board, okay? This is my life.
Exactly.
This is your life.
So, don't panic and settle.
Don't move backwards.
I don't know if I can live like this.
I'm not Madison.
You don't have to be Madison, but you can't be me either.
I'm the old you.
You have to keep moving forward.
You have to let me go, please.
I'm so damn proud of her.
Um So, I'm sorry about the whole banana-cream-breaking-and-entering thing.
- What's wrong? - You have a little Oh I should probably go.
Izzy, wait.
You obviously came here for a reason.
I want to know what that is.
Um I'm sorry that I pushed you away.
It was just so hard for me to believe that you loved me when I didn't even love me.
But, I'm trying really hard not to be my own worst enemy anymore, and I would like another chance with you.
And trust me, I know that I'm a lot, but I also finally know that I'm enough.
Do I still have frosting on my face? No.
That's awesome.
Oh.
Yeah, you still got something in your hair.
Fuck you, vision board.
Shit! Shit! Fuck! Fuck! I arrived fashionably on time for your big night.
Ah! Jules, she named drinks after us.
I'm currently drinking a Fizzy Izzy.
A Fizzy Izzy? Can I recommend a Moscow Jules? Oh my god! Mm! Ooh, she's strong.
Hell yeah, she is.
Ooh, um, so before Madison gets here, she texted me last night that she couldn't make Greece happen.
And I know she's really upset, so I'm doing a little surprise birthday thing at my house for her after this.
Ooh, I love an after-party vibe.
I stayed up all last night planning it, and I really think she's gonna love it.
Oh.
Hi! Stel, there is a full-on line outside.
People are annoyed in a way that is very, very exciting for you.
Ooh! Is this the cocktail menu? - Yes.
- Oh my god.
- An espresso Mad-tini? - I mean, would it be your signature drink if there wasn't caffeine in it? I'm gonna cry.
I'm gonna go say hi to Liv.
Um I'm sorry Greece didn't work out.
No, I'm sorry.
You know, sometimes I push too hard.
So, your guru couldn't help you? She did help, actually.
So did you.
Well, you helped me, too.
No matter what happens with this CAMLA thing, it was the right move to move on from all my old stuff.
Well, not all of it.
Alright.
I have your espresso Mad-tini.
You did good, Stella.
Yeah, she's a pretty romantic lady, aren't you, schmoop? Yes.
He gets me, - and now he's got me.
- We're so happy for you guys.
We don't even mind hearing the word schmoop.
That's how happy we are.
Ooh, Sky and Q just got here.
Let's go tell them the news.
- Hi! - Oh.
Um, will you go tell them? I want you to walk away, so I can talk about you.
Oh.
Okay.
Wait, actually, I wanna tell them, too.
- Oh! My god.
- I heard this party needs - some musical entertainment.
- It's you! And not just me.
This is Josh, Sarah, Dave Phantogram.
Oh shit.
Wait, wait, are you guys actually going to play? - Is that okay? - We don't have to.
No, please! Please, yes.
I'll help you set up.
So, I don't know who you are, but I'm very impressed.
This is Fender, and, uh, me, too.
Well, I can't take all the credit for getting them to play.
I heard Fender was trying to help you out, and I knew I owed you all a favor.
Wow.
Hi, Jules.
Can we talk for a minute? It's okay if you don't want to though.
Sure.
Lots of reunions happening tonight.
- Glad to be back.
- I'm glad you're back.
Thank you for doing this.
Jules, can I ask you something? Is that a tiny ball of complimentary hair ties? Yes.
Yes, it is.
I know I'm not the target demo, but I think this is my favorite bar.
I just need to say that I know I haven't exactly been ready to do this.
Um you? You haven't been ready to do me.
Got it.
But, I am now.
Um, I put that other thing to bed.
Now, the word "bed" is in the mix.
I'm attempting to be serious! Okay, good.
I'm So, does this mean that we're finally gonna leave an evening together together? Um, well, no.
I still have to leave without you, but it's Madison's birthday, so it's a very different situation this time.
Oh yeah? Why is it different? Did you know this place has three bathrooms? Oh.
Anyway, yeah.
So, I decided to start my own label to compete with my dad, of course.
And, wow, do I know how you feel.
It's so hard.
Good for you.
Your dad's a lot.
Look, I don't expect you to totally forgive me, but I just wanted to say I was sorry.
Well, thank you.
I'm about to turn 30, and I just wanna have a clean slate.
Literally.
I set my vision board on fire.
Celeste had this sent to the office from the Maldives for you.
The package slip said it cost $4,700 to overnight it.
So, open it! With silence comes clarity.
It's always been you.
Be my right hand? Oh my god - Wow.
- I can't believe this! - You deserve this, babe.
- Oh my god! Hey.
Can we talk? Yeah.
Turns out, this idea of yours was a pretty good one.
People love it.
I know.
We did it.
So, you know that I'm crazy about you and Bruno, okay? And I was just torn before because I was worried about hurting him if things didn't work out between us.
That's why I said from the beginning that we shouldn't involve Bruno if you weren't ready.
I know, but I wanted to dive in with you because that's what I do.
Okay? You know, and I realized in the interview today that I may do that a lot.
So, I think I just really have to push myself to commit.
So, what does that mean? It means that I don't have to worry about hurting Bruno if I just decide I'm not going anywhere.
And that's what I've decided.
I'm glad you made that decision.
But, I have to make one, too.
For me and for my son.
Listen, I'm so proud of the business we've built.
And I wanna stay partners and do it together.
I do.
But I can't do me and you anymore.
Okay But I want to make this work.
I don't wanna be a challenge you have to push yourself to live up to.
That's not what I want.
Sound check.
Mic one, mic two.
- The band is starting.
- Hm.
- We shouldn't miss it.
- Okay.
Check one, two, three.
Check one, two, three.
Hey, everybody, we're Phantogram! Welcome to the Gi Spot! Hi! Celeste asked me to be her new right hand.
Izzy, that's incredible! No one deserves it more than you.
We are so happy for you.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Yeah, it's fine.
What are we doing in your garage? Birthday surprise.
Oh, you got me a car? Just wait for it.
Are a bunch of people about to jump out and yell "surprise" at me? Because I need to emotionally prepare for that.
Not quite.
Oh my god.
It's Greece.
Whoa, Jules.
You did this? - Like, with a computer? - Okay, those museum people don't know what they're talking about.
Happy birthday, Madison.
Figured you should get at least one thing you wanted by 30.
I already had.
Holy shit, Santorini? Let's party in Greece!
