Suburgatory (2011) s03e06 Episode Script
About a Boy-Yoi-Yoing
The town of Chatswin had an undertow, and it was always looking for ways to suck you back in.
Bellini-beluga block party? Trash.
Extension convention What is a human clip-on? Doesn't matter.
We're not interested.
Should we sponsor Chatswin elementary's twerkathon? They're twerking to end gun violence.
Um, I I feel like that's not gonna work.
Hey, we're invited to tour Chatswin's historic homes.
Hmm, do I want to see some rich lady show off her walk-in bra closet? You know what? Kind of, but gonna have to decline.
George and I were doing an excellent job of keeping to ourselves, but it was easy to turn down invitations that came in the mail.
The ones that were delivered face-to-face were a little more challenging.
Well, do I look any different? Turning 17 tomorrow, y'all 1-7! It's, like, the last prime number before you can vote.
It's kind of a big deal.
You did it, man.
Y you made it.
And in celebration, I intend to make it nasty! I am dropping it on hos.
I am dropping it on the ho What does that mean? It means I'm having a small dinner party at shabu-shabbos, the kosher Japanese restaurant.
Parentals said I can invite three friends, so without any further ado Oh, thanks.
I can't wait.
They throw vegetables in the air and catch them in their chef's hat.
It's a meal and a show.
I hope you guys have fun.
Oh, come on, Tessa, a guy only turns 17 once that is, until they make time travel a reality.
Oh.
C come on, now.
My arm's getting tired.
All right, you know, I I'm just gonna set the invitation down here, and, uh, y you can just mull it over.
You know, just give it a good mull.
Yes, I will do that.
Great, and if you could let me know ASAP, that would dope! Because I can only invite three people.
Got it! So, if you're not coming, I'd like to invite someone else.
In that case, I I think you should probably invite someone else.
Okay, you called my bluff.
There's no one else.
Ooh, but the thing is, there's also an important calculus test that I need to study for.
Okay, well, just, you know, think about it and let me know.
I did, and I did, and I'm not coming.
I'll circle back! Just Yeah, that's good.
That's good.
We'll we'll That was painful.
W why you got to be such a hater? Hey, you can call me a lot of things, but it is a well-known fact that I am not a hater.
Sure, the last name Smith gets her in the door, but that young lady whips her own hair back and forth.
No one does that for her.
Just because I don't want to go to Evan's party doesn't make me a hater.
Parties are optional, right? Damn it.
I think she got us on that one.
Yeah.
Parties are optional.
Suburgatory 3x06 - About a Boy-Yoi-Yoing Original air date March 5, 2014 Okay.
Here you go.
You're a peach.
Okay, I didn't really need to borrow a cup of milk.
Although, that was refreshing.
I needed a cup of you.
'Cause I never see you anymore, not since you quit us.
I didn't quit you.
I just I quit the country club.
Was it because of when our leg hairs brushed against each other in the steam room? Because I assure you that was accidental and completely forgotten.
It's not like your wind song stays on my mind.
Look, Fred, it's nothing personal.
I just decided I'm not a country-club kind of guy.
So you hate me.
Not at all.
I just didn't like who I was turning into at that club.
Because you were turning into me? Hey, what if you and I found a new place to hang out? Somewhere without a dress code where we can both relax and be ourselves.
I have the perfect place right here! Chez Shay, Jorgé! Hey, after I get my loads folded, we can fire up some classic episodes of "Ellen" and dance to an imaginary audience.
Right, well, I was I was thinking maybe somewhere outside of your home where we can get a drink and also maybe not smell whatever it is that's coming out of your kitchen right now.
Come on, Fred, there's got to be a good bar around.
You know, as a matter of fact, a new bar just opened.
That's what I'm talking about! Some dive where a couple of guys can go out and get a nice stiff drink.
Yeah, I even got a coupon! Nothing says dive bar like a good coupon.
Am I right? Wait.
What is this a juice bar? It's got everything we need ample, natural light; clean, sturdy stools.
We can bro down till the cows come home, by which I mean Sheila.
By which I mean she has big and tender, brown eyes.
Just please don't tell Sheila I called her a cow.
Fred, when I said "drink," I wasn't talking about juice.
But this is pressed juice, loaded with fibrous nutrients.
It's more than a beverage it's a movement.
Right now there's only one a pressed nation, but their dream is to have a pressed nations all over the world.
Well, we can all dream.
Uh, two fermented fujis, please.
All right.
They contain a trace amount of alcohol, but I'm wearing my medic-alert bracelet, so let's party.
Are you a member of our juice club? Uh, no, no, I am not a regular.
You might be after you try this.
Mm? What if I told you that contained nothing but kabocha squash and almond milk? I'd tell you to shut your mouth.
There's no ice cream in that? No.
I I will take a large.
Sorry, non-members can only sample the specialty flavors.
I'm a member.
C can I sip on his? No, I won't let you.
Ah If you sign up for the juice club, you get to order off the insider's menu, and you get deep discounts.
You know what? This might be the kabocha squash talking.
But I'm in.
Oh, hey, Tessa.
Great news.
I got to our math teacher, Mrs.
Nelson.
What d what do you mean you got to her? Well, I told her that some students, including yours truly, were suffering from "pre-traumatic test disorder," and she agreed to postpone the exam.
Oh.
That's great.
So, what? So the excuse you gave is no longer valid.
Crisis averted? Set Tessa to party mode? Commence cookies and cream? Okay, well The truth is the test wasn't the only reason I couldn't go to your party.
See, I made this pact with my dad.
I'm not trying to take your virginity, Tessa.
Not that kind of pact.
So I can take your virginity? That is not what this is about, right? You're not trying to ask me on a double date, because I know how indiscriminately horny you are.
Filthy as charged.
And I just want to make sure that is not what this is about.
No, of course not, unless you want it to be, in which case, yes, it absolutely is.
I don't want it to be.
Then, yeah, no probs.
See you at 5:15.
And, uh, no gifts.
Just write down 17 reasons why you're glad I was born.
Uh, I Oh, and I'm not saying it ha to be in pirate speak, but the theme is pirates.
Welcome to Crystal Cup of Crystals.
How can I provide you with dazzling service today? Oh, I'm, uh, just looking around.
Thanks.
For anything in particular? We just got in a stunning shipment of figurines based on the "Modern Family" gang.
Crystal Cam's my fave 'cause there's nothing he won't say.
Actually, I was just wondering if you had a bathroom.
Let me guess you just came from the new juice place down the street.
Yeah.
- So, the bathroom? - Tell me something.
What are they putting in those juices over there? Look, I don't know, but all I know is it doesn't stay very long.
I'm begging you.
Bathroom's in the back.
And wipe down the crystal sink when you're done! It spots easy! Yo, ho, ho.
Ahoy, me hearty! Shiver me timbers! Happy Birthday, Evan.
You wenches clean up nicely.
Lucky is the pirate that finds booty tonight! Hi.
Can I start you guys off with an Adam Sandier roll? Is it any good? It's super popular, but no.
Hey, it's my 17th birthday.
Can I get a hug? Sure, cutie.
Oh, my God.
You smell so good.
I I think you're smelling sukiyaki sauce.
Boy-yoi-yoing! Okay, let's toast the man of the hour, yours truly, me! Evan Fievel Abramowitz.
"E" is for everything I like about him, which is many.
"V" is for very much, which is plenty.
"A" is for his asthma, which never slows him down.
"N" is is not really, 'cause i it really slows him down.
Let's just Hey, I love you, bro.
Welcome to Crystal Cup of Crystals.
How can I provide you with daz You got a bathroom?! Well, of course we do.
However So, if you'd like to empty your bladder, you will also need to empty your wallet! Fine.
I'll take one of these.
A single crystal tear?! That's how you're gonna do me?! I am a strong, independent businesswoman, not a bathroom attendant! I didn't name this establishment Crystal Crap of Crappers! I swear, there is not enough autumn pear in the world.
I am putting that juice place on notice.
On notice! And number 17 on my Evan-loving list is the way his teeth gleam like precious amethyst.
I don't know, Tessa.
Those were some pretty tough acts to follow.
Oh.
My gift is less of a epic poem and more of a online gift card! Wow, okay, that's hurtfully impersonal.
Yes, but on the bright side, you can buy anything you want online these days.
Yeah, except friends.
You know, I I think I feel my bronchial passages tightening.
I I'm gonna get some fresh air.
Really? You couldn't just freestyle something? Off the dome? Guys, no.
Because no.
Even if I could drop something off the dome, trust me, you guys wouldn't like what I had to say.
I didn't even want to come here in the first place.
So, what? So you think you're just too cool for Evan 'cause he's a nerd? Have we not progressed beyond nerd bigotry as a society on the whole? Or did you not vote for Pedro? It is not that.
McLovin, screech powers.
Poindexter on the violin.
I ask, was all their work in vain? Did Steve Urkel do that for nothing? I swear, when I you get emphatic, it is unspeakably arousing.
You want to take care of that situation? Look, you guys, I don't hate Evan because he's a nerd, but I don't give him a free pass because of it, either.
Sorry, I just I I don't subscribe to that whole protected-class thing.
It's like, who is the biggest two-faced klepto we know? Who? - I - I don't know.
You don't want to say it.
I know, 'cause it's Katie Katie, who, uh, happens to be in a wheelchair.
- Oh, my gosh.
I love your purse! - Thanks.
Hey, guys, look at this ugly purse I just found.
Katie has been through a lot.
Agreed.
But does that mean she gets to do whatever she wants? Does that mean because Evan has adorkable little glasses and an ever-present cannister of albuterol that he gets to postpone tests and grope the waitstaff? Look, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it all.
Correct, which is why I declined bellinis and belugas.
I declined twerkathons, and I tried to decline attending the birthday of a self-indulgent, horny manipulator.
Happy Birthday to ye Happy Birthday to Well, I can tell you who's not getting the marzipan parrot.
Oh, hello.
Do you like delicious things? What's wrong with you? You're acting weird.
Are you drunk? Yeah, I'm drunk on nutrition! Try this new juice I found.
It's got goji pulp.
I don't want goji pulp.
What happened to our everything else? I got rid of it to make room for the juice.
It's cheaper if you buy in bulk, and with my new membership discount What?! You joined a club? I thought we weren't doing that.
No, it's not a club club.
It's it's just an opportunity for people who live in certain zip codes to get privileges that aren't available crap.
I joined a club.
I wasn't supposed to do that! No.
How did this happen? You sipped the juice.
George, you let your guard down, and you sipped the juice.
That's how it works.
You show just a little bit of weakness, and and the next thing you know, you're in full pirate garb ruining birthdays and jeopardizing your two best friendships.
Now, if you will excuse me, I'm gonna pour myself a big bowl of cereal because, as you can see, I did not get the marzipan parrot.
I can't even look at you right now.
There's gum in my car.
- Hey, buddy.
- Hey.
Victor's at school.
I got my chores done.
Do you want to binge-watch some "silk stalkings"? Uh, sorry, Fred.
I'm spending the day in the city.
I got a little off track, and I need a dose of New York to remind me who I am.
Don't have to ask me once.
I am in! I I don't think you're ready for the mean streets of Manhattan.
Nonsense.
If Crocodile Dundee can acclimate O okay, but we're not gonna be doing any touristy stuff.
- Nor would I want to.
- Okay.
Let me just grab my poncho, my traveler's checks, and my walking stick.
I'll be right back! Uh, can I sit here, or are you guys saving this seat for Evan? She doesn't know.
She wouldn't care.
- She might.
- She won't.
Hey, she's standing right here.
You want to tell her what you're talking about? Evan was too upset to come to school today.
Evan actually skipped school? I thought he had the record for perfect attendance.
Not anymore.
That crown is now worn by Vikram Deshpandi.
Go, Vikram! Go, Vikram! Go, Vikram! Go, Vikram! Don't get cocky, Vikram! Flu season's a-coming! I wasn't trying to ruin his perfect-attendance record, and I certainly wasn't trying to ruin his birthday.
But I guess I did both.
But in my defense, you guys have seen my iPod.
You like Willow Smith.
That doesn't make you a good person.
And that's when I realized trying so hard not to change changes you.
And as for George Okay, when it's crowded like this, you're gonna want to grab onto the poll, unless it's just unpleasantly sticky, which it is.
- You know what? Just grab onto me.
- Oh.
He couldn't tell if the city had changed There you go.
Or he had.
You are gonna love this place.
They have the thickest steaks in town.
Hey, which ho are we in Soho, Noho, Boho?! Oh, I do not remember the prices being this high.
How can they charge that much for a steak? It's like the price of 10 thin steaks.
What, did it get a college education before they killed it? Uh, I doubt it.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, wait, this is the lunch menu I'm looking at.
So the dinner prices Okay, no, there is no steak thick enough.
Let's go, Fred.
I can't believe I'm about to eat a New York City hot dog.
Sheila says they're nothing but sodium and pig lips.
Yeah, and I'm I'm pretty sure they're $2, not $10.
Do you think that guy scammed us 'cause we look like we're from out of town? Oh, I don't know about that.
That seems awfully mean-spirited.
Hey, do you know how to get to the Statue of Liberty from here? Oh.
I'm just visiting.
Although, I can see how you would mistake me for a denizen of this bustling Now, that's a knife! Whoa.
Oh, hey, hey! Somebody stop that guy! He just robbed my friend! Stop! Okay, or just go about your business and ignore the suffering of others.
I just got mugged! I love this town! I'd been trying so hard to draw a line between me and the rest of Chatswin that I'd crossed it.
I owed Evan a sincere apology.
Go away.
Evan.
I'm here to say sorry.
I'll even say it in pirate speak.
I'm so-arry for what happened last night.
Can I come in? Okay.
I pretty much cried myself to sleep on my birthday.
That's terrible.
Your words cut sharper than a gins I feel awful.
I guess I just didn't realize that was what you thought of me.
Look, it it doesn't matter what I think of you.
I should've kept my mouth shut.
You know, sometimes I think it's easier to focus on other people's issues than your own.
I guess we're not so different after all.
Not quite sure how you got there, but can I just have a hug? Uh I guess.
Boy-yoi-yoing! Okay, I am never talking to you ever again! Worth it.
It happened, and it was documented on video! I may never be able to name 17 great things about Evan, but he did figure out how to get an ass grab on his birthday.
So I guess, if nothing else, he's resourceful.
And you'd have to be to survive 17 years in Chatswin.
Okay, George, tell me everything about the city, and don't leave out a single detail.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, well, uh, where do I begin? Uh, there were just these awesome crowds, you know, so many people just energized right in your face.
Uh, and all all our favorite hot spots became, you know supremely expensive, and the stench of urine just hits you like a wall.
Bam.
Bam.
I am so glad I grew up in Manhattan and not Chatswin.
Oh, my gosh.
Are you kidding me? This place with its courteous people and low crime rate and reasonably priced thin steaks and free refills on your drinks it's the worst.
Sometimes, the way we see ourselves doesn't exactly line up with who we are, and for George came the surprise that his hometown didn't feel like home anymore.
Somehow, someway, he had become more attached to Chatswin than he ever meant to.
You guys get a new lighting fixture? Yeah, it's a little much.
The crazy lady down the street blackmailed us into buying it.
It doesn't exactly look like it belongs here.
No, but I like it.
It's got character.
No, you can't get pregnant underwater.
So needless to say, we're both taking scuba.
Yeah.
That's what "scuba" stands for.
"Sperm cannot underwater be activated.
" That's not what "scuba" stands for, but there was no point.
Chatswin was always going to be Chatswin.
There was nothing I could do to change that.
Tessa! I hear you were talking smack about me the other day.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I have to learn how to keep my mouth shut.
No, I liked it.
No one ever calls me out on anything because I'm in a wheelchair, but you did.
And I just want to say thanks.
You're glad I called you a two-faced klepto? Because I am one, and sometimes getting called out makes you realize it's time to change.
Here's your hoodie and your zucchini bread and your four "D" batteries.
All this was in my Yeah, here's the combination lock to your locker.
And I just want to tell you to your face that I've never really been a big fan of yours.
Until now.
Thanks? Here's your travel mug.
Bellini-beluga block party? Trash.

You don't want to say it.
I know, 'cause it's Katie Katie, who, uh, happens to be in a wheelchair.
- Oh, my gosh.
I love your purse! - Thanks.
Hey, guys, look at this ugly purse I just found.
Katie has been through a lot.
Agreed.
But does that mean she gets to do whatever she wants? Does that mean because Evan has adorkable little glasses and an ever-present cannister of albuterol that he gets to postpone tests and grope the waitstaff? Look, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it all.
Correct, which is why I declined bellinis and belugas.
I declined twerkathons, and I tried to decline attending the birthday of a self-indulgent, horny manipulator.
Happy Birthday to ye Happy Birthday to Well, I can tell you who's not getting the marzipan parrot.
Oh, hello.
Do you like delicious things? What's wrong with you? You're acting weird.
Are you drunk? Yeah, I'm drunk on nutrition! Try this new juice I found.
It's got goji pulp.
I don't want goji pulp.
What happened to our everything else? I got rid of it to make room for the juice.
It's cheaper if you buy in bulk, and with my new membership discount What?! You joined a club? I thought we weren't doing that.
No, it's not a club club.
It's it's just an opportunity for people who live in certain zip codes to get privileges that aren't available crap.
I joined a club.
I wasn't supposed to do that! No.
How did this happen? You sipped the juice.
George, you let your guard down, and you sipped the juice.
That's how it works.
You show just a little bit of weakness, and and the next thing you know, you're in full pirate garb ruining birthdays and jeopardizing your two best friendships.
Now, if you will excuse me, I'm gonna pour myself a big bowl of cereal because, as you can see, I did not get the marzipan parrot.
I can't even look at you right now.
There's gum in my car.
- Hey, buddy.
- Hey.
Victor's at school.
I got my chores done.
Do you want to binge-watch some "silk stalkings"? Uh, sorry, Fred.
I'm spending the day in the city.
I got a little off track, and I need a dose of New York to remind me who I am.
Don't have to ask me once.
I am in! I I don't think you're ready for the mean streets of Manhattan.
Nonsense.
If Crocodile Dundee can acclimate O okay, but we're not gonna be doing any touristy stuff.
- Nor would I want to.
- Okay.
Let me just grab my poncho, my traveler's checks, and my walking stick.
I'll be right back! Uh, can I sit here, or are you guys saving this seat for Evan? She doesn't know.
She wouldn't care.
- She might.
- She won't.
Hey, she's standing right here.
You want to tell her what you're talking about? Evan was too upset to come to school today.
Evan actually skipped school? I thought he had the record for perfect attendance.
Not anymore.
That crown is now worn by Vikram Deshpandi.
Go, Vikram! Go, Vikram! Go, Vikram! Go, Vikram! Don't get cocky, Vikram! Flu season's a-coming! I wasn't trying to ruin his perfect-attendance record, and I certainly wasn't trying to ruin his birthday.
But I guess I did both.
But in my defense, you guys have seen my iPod.
You like Willow Smith.
That doesn't make you a good person.
And that's when I realized trying so hard not to change changes you.
And as for George Okay, when it's crowded like this, you're gonna want to grab onto the poll, unless it's just unpleasantly sticky, which it is.
- You know what? Just grab onto me.
- Oh.
He couldn't tell if the city had changed There you go.
Or he had.
You are gonna love this place.
They have the thickest steaks in town.
Hey, which ho are we in Soho, Noho, Boho?! Oh, I do not remember the prices being this high.
How can they charge that much for a steak? It's like the price of 10 thin steaks.
What, did it get a college education before they killed it? Uh, I doubt it.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, wait, this is the lunch menu I'm looking at.
So the dinner prices Okay, no, there is no steak thick enough.
Let's go, Fred.
I can't believe I'm about to eat a New York City hot dog.
Sheila says they're nothing but sodium and pig lips.
Yeah, and I'm I'm pretty sure they're $2, not $10.
Do you think that guy scammed us 'cause we look like we're from out of town? Oh, I don't know about that.
That seems awfully mean-spirited.
Hey, do you know how to get to the Statue of Liberty from here? Oh.
I'm just visiting.
Although, I can see how you would mistake me for a denizen of this bustling Now, that's a knife! Whoa.
Oh, hey, hey! Somebody stop that guy! He just robbed my friend! Stop! Okay, or just go about your business and ignore the suffering of others.
I just got mugged! I love this town! I'd been trying so hard to draw a line between me and the rest of Chatswin that I'd crossed it.
I owed Evan a sincere apology.
Go away.
Evan.
I'm here to say sorry.
I'll even say it in pirate speak.
I'm so-arry for what happened last night.
Can I come in? Okay.
I pretty much cried myself to sleep on my birthday.
That's terrible.
Your words cut sharper than a gins I feel awful.
I guess I just didn't realize that was what you thought of me.
Look, it it doesn't matter what I think of you.
I should've kept my mouth shut.
You know, sometimes I think it's easier to focus on other people's issues than your own.
I guess we're not so different after all.
Not quite sure how you got there, but can I just have a hug? Uh I guess.
Boy-yoi-yoing! Okay, I am never talking to you ever again! Worth it.
It happened, and it was documented on video! I may never be able to name 17 great things about Evan, but he did figure out how to get an ass grab on his birthday.
So I guess, if nothing else, he's resourceful.
And you'd have to be to survive 17 years in Chatswin.
Okay, George, tell me everything about the city, and don't leave out a single detail.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, well, uh, where do I begin? Uh, there were just these awesome crowds, you know, so many people just energized right in your face.
Uh, and all all our favorite hot spots became, you know supremely expensive, and the stench of urine just hits you like a wall.
Bam.
Bam.
I am so glad I grew up in Manhattan and not Chatswin.
Oh, my gosh.
Are you kidding me? This place with its courteous people and low crime rate and reasonably priced thin steaks and free refills on your drinks it's the worst.
Sometimes, the way we see ourselves doesn't exactly line up with who we are, and for George came the surprise that his hometown didn't feel like home anymore.
Somehow, someway, he had become more attached to Chatswin than he ever meant to.
You guys get a new lighting fixture? Yeah, it's a little much.
The crazy lady down the street blackmailed us into buying it.
It doesn't exactly look like it belongs here.
No, but I like it.
It's got character.
No, you can't get pregnant underwater.
So needless to say, we're both taking scuba.
Yeah.
That's what "scuba" stands for.
"Sperm cannot underwater be activated.
" That's not what "scuba" stands for, but there was no point.
Chatswin was always going to be Chatswin.
There was nothing I could do to change that.
Tessa! I hear you were talking smack about me the other day.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I have to learn how to keep my mouth shut.
No, I liked it.
No one ever calls me out on anything because I'm in a wheelchair, but you did.
And I just want to say thanks.
You're glad I called you a two-faced klepto? Because I am one, and sometimes getting called out makes you realize it's time to change.
Here's your hoodie and your zucchini bread and your four "D" batteries.
All this was in my Yeah, here's the combination lock to your locker.
And I just want to tell you to your face that I've never really been a big fan of yours.
Until now.
Thanks? Here's your travel mug.
