The Detour (2016) s03e07 Episode Script
The Water
1 Why am I in Alaska?! Ask my crust of son Nate Parker! He's the one who has nothing better to do with his life than disappoint a woman by promising to be with her forever.
Holy shit.
That's your mother? Yeah.
- That explains a lot.
- Are you married? And what shovel-faced herbivore lets you jam your shriveled manhood inside her in some bloated imitation of passion? Just thought it would be important to have some family at the wedding.
And is that why you stood her up at the altar? No.
Marriage has never really worked in my family.
If you're not gonna charge me, at least stick it in me.
How good is this, right? Told you it was gonna be nice.
Best vacation ever! [chuckles.]
God.
First time alone in I don't know how long.
- Two years.
- No, it hasn't been that long.
Yeah, since the kids were born.
Well, I'll drink to that, then.
You certainly will.
Mmm.
Ohh! Boats! Am I right? And water.
And floating.
I told you it was gonna be nice.
You did.
You told me.
Many times.
I said, "Me, you, boat, nice.
" - That's exactly how you said it, yep.
- [grunts.]
Man, you're drinking a lot, babe.
[dance music plays.]
Party boat.
Koo-ooh-koo-koo-koo! Koo-koo-koo! TOGETHER: Koo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh! Ah, they're doing it! Hey! [Jamaican accent.]
Jamaica me thirsty, mon! [crowd cheering.]
We're in the Dominican.
[normal voice.]
God, I'm so good at accents.
You know, I was thinking about inventing a game.
Hmm? Where you do an accent and you guess for points.
- Gimme one.
- Uh, mime.
Come on.
Give me a good one.
How about a tongueless person? Okay, how 'bout this? [grunts.]
[Australian accent.]
G'day, mate.
Let's throw another wallaby on the shrimp.
Huh? Dingo.
Kangaroo Jack.
I'm Paul Hogan from down in the Outback.
- Yeah, I get it.
- Bloomin' onion.
- I get it.
- "Crocodile Dundee.
" You know? Mad Max.
- Mad Max.
Mad Max.
- I heard you the first time.
[normal voice.]
Yeah? Well, guess.
It's a fun game.
It's not fun, nor is it a game.
You should put on a life jacket.
[Australian accent.]
That's for nerds, mate.
Is it for nerds? - Ah.
- Sorry, kids.
"Real sorry your dad drowned," but just look on the bright side, man "He looked super-cool doing it.
" Damn straight.
'Cause he's Australian! [normal voice.]
Two points for me.
That's how the game works.
[burps.]
This is the best vacation ever.
Ahh! Told ya.
Somewhere behind the mountains There is a place I'm thinkin' [distorted music plays.]
[sighs.]
So, listen.
Um I know we're already together and stuff, but, uh you know, I-I was thinking, you know, we should take other steps.
So I got a question to ask you.
Um [breathes deeply.]
Ch-ch-ch-ch-chu.
Um Hey, can you sit back here beside me, please? I'm okay over here.
No, I wanna see your face when I ask you the question.
Come on.
Can you put on a happy face, please? What? I didn't say "relax.
" No, the smile thing's way worse.
How is that worse? Because it's like you're saying I'm not fine the way I am.
Because I'm not smiling, it makes me less of a woman, like I'm ugly.
Who would ever say you're ugly? I'm not talking about me.
I'm talking about women in general.
How would a man feel if he was told to smile? Okay, "A," you weren't told.
I asked you politely.
Two, I didn't say "smile.
" I said "put on a happy face.
" - And, "C," I said - [deep voice.]
"Hey, sweetheart, would it kill you to smile a little bit?" And, "D," didn't call you "sweetheart.
" And, also, I don't talk like that.
So that's six now.
[normal voice.]
By telling someone to alter their appearance, you're invalidating the day they're having, or the week or the last two years.
Maybe she's been all alone, raising and cleaning up after and feeding two screaming 2-year-olds just to make your selfish Rainbow Brite life a little bit more pleasant.
Don't really feel like smiling right now, do you? Not when you yell at me.
I think I want out.
What? You want to go back already? We just got out here.
No.
I mean I just I think I think maybe I want out of this.
No, trust me.
I went to boat school.
They tell you the safest place on the ocean - is always in the boat.
- My God, you're not hearing me.
Yeah, well, you're gonna have to wait for a bit 'cause the sail's all saggy right now.
What? You don't know how to get us back, do you? Of course I know how to get us back.
You sail back with the wind.
But the wind's going that way right now.
So you're blaming the wind? I'm sorry.
What else would you like me to blame it on? Maybe the 10 beers you guzzled.
Feel free to help out.
I mean, you haven't done a damn thing the whole time you've been on the boat.
Okay? Because let me tell you, when I went to boating school Oh, wait! Oh! Nate.
Oh, shit! Oh, shit.
Nate! Nate! - Nate! - Help! I'm sinking! Well, take off that parachute you're wearing! It's my lucky jersey! Throw me something! Please! Hey! Throw me a life jacket or something! What are you doing?! What are you doing?! I'm gonna save you! Why would you do that?! Because you said you needed a life jacket.
I'm your life jacket.
You're welcome! No, you made things so much worse! The boat's getting away! Boat! Boat! Boat! God, what's the matter with you?! I'm sorry! God, it's okay.
Okay.
Calm down.
Calm down, calm down.
We're gonna be okay.
I don't think we will.
[suspenseful music plays.]
I think we should swim for it.
It's like five miles.
We're not gonna make it with the rip current.
- I can make it.
- You won't.
That sounds like a bet.
Well, it's not.
Ready? Get some! [gasps.]
[gasps.]
Oh.
[breathes sharply.]
- Foot cramp.
- You okay? It's the rip currents.
They're too strong on top.
- Oh, are they? - Yeah.
Mm.
I got to go down deep.
[breathes deeply.]
Get some.
[groans.]
They're too strong down there.
- How deep did I go? - Pretty deep.
The back of your head was almost completely submerged.
Oh, come on.
Don't be like that.
- How long was I under? - Like three seconds.
Tops.
What? Bullshit! Oh.
How long was that? - Two seconds.
- What? [spits.]
Oh! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! - Hoo-hoo! - What are you doing? I'm making loud noises to scare the sharks away.
That's bears.
Sharks you punch in the nose.
Ah! Now who's the idiot? Okay, sharks don't have noses.
That's bear Oh! Oh! - What?! What?! What?! - Oh, something Something just swam past my leg.
I think there's sharks out here.
Sweetie, one person every two years gets attacked by a shark, okay? [screaming.]
You're fine.
Please, stop! Stop flailing! Please! What? They smell fear.
Okay.
Sorry.
That's my scent right now.
I'm scared.
All right, well, go float over there.
I don't want them to smell your pussy and think it's me.
Oh, my God.
That's so emasculating.
Oh, shut up and grow some balls.
I've got balls, okay? Big, big balls.
Personally, I wouldn't mind if a shark came along and put me out of my misery right now.
- What? - Nothing.
Oh, my God.
That's how you sum up your life right now? Misery? It was a joke, Nate.
Lighten up.
- It wasn't a joke.
- Come on.
Yes, it was.
No, it's a joke when everything's fine between the two of us, okay? Not when we're fighting every single second of every single da Aah! Aah! Aah! We're fine! Quit! Please! Stop! Stop it! That was my foot.
It wasn't your foot, okay? I know what your feet feel like, okay? I rubbed your feet for like a year.
This was scaly and rough and pointy and Aah! It's back! No! It was my foot!! I haven't had a chance to get a pedicure.
[grunts.]
[gasps.]
[gags, coughs.]
God, try and hold down your chum, Nate.
Come on.
[gags, coughs.]
I think it's just all this seawater I've been gargling.
I'm pretty sure it's the hangover you have.
Well [vomiting.]
Nate.
Come You're literally chumming up the water.
I swear to God.
I swear to God, if I believed in him, as soon as we're out of this, I am so done with you.
Oh, yeah, well, we're kinda stuck together, aren't we? Yeah, we are.
We're stuck together.
We've been stuck together ever since you knocked me up the first time we did it.
And now it's two years later, and it sucks so bad.
We're just going through a rough patch, okay? Terrible twos.
Every Every couple goes through this.
I tried to get there, Nate.
I really did.
I really did, but I can't.
I mean, I don't even know who you are.
Yes, you do.
Who? Who are you? I'm Nate "the Skate" Parker.
Yeah, well, that's about the extent of it.
That's all I know.
Well, that's pretty much all there is to know.
Okay? I used to play hockey.
I got three friends.
I work.
I come home and spend time with you and the kids.
And I hate my mom.
I would hardly call napping on the sofa all weekend "spending time" with us, but all right.
I'm sorry.
I work hard at my job all week.
- Do you? - Yes.
Mostly.
Sometimes.
I mean, there's a lot of sitting, but And that requires you to come home and pound beers, - watch ice skating until you pass out? - Hockey.
Wait.
I'm not allowed to blow off a little steam? How miserable is your life that you have to blow off steam? My job sucks! So when I come home on weekends - And week nights.
- I need to decompress.
Have a little respite.
Do you know how hurtful that is to me, Nate? You should look forward to spending time with us.
That should be your blowing off steam.
That should be your respite.
Oh.
And you're Ms.
Perfect? Never said I was.
Like I didn't have to suffer through six months of post-navel depression.
- Natal depression.
- What? - Natal depression.
- Oh-ho-ho! So funny, huh? Always jokes at my expense.
- What? - Nate-al.
You're depressed because you're with Nate-all-the-time.
Oh, my God! - You said "post-navel depression.
" - Yeah.
And I was correcting you because you sound like a real You know what? Forget it.
Forget it.
This is our relationship.
This is us.
This is who we are.
We're on two separate planes.
And if we get out of this alive, I am taking the kids, and I'm leaving you.
I don't ever, ever want to see you again.
Oh, you think you're depressed right now? Try raising kids without a father.
I did fine without a father.
I'll be fine without a husband.
I'll just sprinkle a bunch of beer cans all over the house and dirty socks same same.
Oh, trust me I'll be seeing you all the time, okay? - By order of courts.
- All right.
Well, I'm gonna take the kids and run away.
- How's that sound? - I'd find you.
Yeah, trust me You wouldn't.
And the kids are so young, they wouldn't remember anything about you.
[scoffs.]
This is just beautiful.
Just beautiful.
We're left for dead in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by sharks.
- There's no sharks! - There may be sharks.
And now you're telling me you're gonna break up with me and kidnap my kids.
What else could go wrong?! - Huh? - What is this? What? I'm waiting for you to tell me what else could go wrong.
- This isn't bad enough? - Aah! No! - No! - Oh, my God! It's my foot!! [vomiting.]
God.
- [vomiting.]
- No! [nate panting.]
You know, when my dad was thinking about leaving my mom, he made a pro and con list.
The pros outweighed the cons each day, but in his case - there were zero pros with her.
- You want me to make a pro and con list? Oh, sorry, you're busy doing something else right now.
- Pro/con lists are really dumb.
- Oh, come on! Would you Pro you are sweet with the kids.
Con you're never around to be with the kids.
Pro you're okay-looking.
Well, that's about the sweetest thing you've said to me in about a year.
Con you screw it up by growing gross facial hair and dressing like you can't wait to be fat.
Pro you have an average-size penis.
- How is that a pro? - Because if it's too big, then it hurts, and it's too small, it comes with a lot of psychological shit.
Pro I got big, big balls.
Con you are way too into how big your balls are.
They're useless to me.
No woman in the history of the world has ever been like, "Oh, I'm really into how big your balls are.
" - All of my girlfriends said - No, they haven't.
Another con you jerk off way too much.
I don't jerk off.
Oh, please! Nobody is in the bathroom - taking dumps for that long.
- I am.
Okay, well, then another con you have a massive digestive issue, and you need to look at your diet.
Well, maybe I wouldn't jerk off so much Ah! If you decided to ever have sex with me.
Oh, I'm so sorry I'm not always in the mood when I have two-year-old twins sucking on my bleeding tits all day.
Time to wean, okay! They're asking for milk in complete sentences.
I know, but I want them to have strong bones.
You have cured them of osteoporosis for life.
Con I really hate your stupid inventions.
- Which ones? - All of them.
The radio shirt.
Which would come in pretty handy right about now.
- High-heeled ice skates.
- Super sexy.
- Travel-size couch.
- That sucked.
- Oh, the chalkboard tie.
- What's wrong with it? You change the patterns, you make notes.
It's so stupid.
Well, SkyMall didn't think it was stupid.
They thought about having a meeting with me.
What about your taxi service where you call up a stranger - and he drives you around in his van.
- Yeah, NateVan.
- You might as well call it RapeVan! - I'd make it a rule.
The drivers aren't allowed to rape.
And your restaurant that serves everything.
Don't talk bad about the Kitchen Sink.
No.
You can't have a restaurant that serves everything.
Not with that attitude.
Well, who's gonna cook all this food? The best chef in the world.
- So you're gonna have French fries - Yep.
- And sushi and - Yep.
- Haggis and - Yep - mulligatawny soup.
- Yep.
And burgers and pizza And congee and ackee and Ethiopian injera.
Yes, everything.
- What about escamoles? - I don't know what that is.
It's ant larvae harvested from an agave plant.
That sounds disgusting.
Well, it's the caviar of insects, and the Oaxacans love it.
Well, then we have it, okay, 'cause we have everything.
Why is it so hard for you to wrap your head around that? - Are you gonna serve camel? - Yeah! I mean, you know, might have to serve frozen camel, depending on how often it's ordered.
- Where are you gonna get your camel? - I don't know.
Some jungle somewhere.
[distant thunder rumbles.]
That's miles away.
I think that's gonna pass us right by.
Okay, con you actually believe everything is just gonna work itself out.
- It's called faith.
- It's called blind optimism.
Or idiocy, I'll let you choose.
If those are the only choices, obviously, blind optimism.
[thunder rumbles, closer.]
Yep.
That's gonna pass us right by.
I could've been a weather man.
- [thunder crashes.]
- Nate?! Nate! Nate! Nate! Nate, where are you?! - Don't leave me! - [gasping.]
I'll never leave you! Ever! [coughing.]
[weakly.]
I don't think I can hold on much longer.
- What? - I might have to let go.
What? No.
I've lost the will to fight.
Nate, come on, you're delirious.
Just hang on to me.
Hang on, the The life vest can hold us both up.
Come on.
- I don't think you're hearing me.
- I'm hearing you.
I've lost the will to live [voice breaking.]

You and the kids mean everything to me.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Hey, hey, hey.
I was just mad.
I was mad.
I'm not gonna take the kids away from you.
When did you start hating me so much? I don't hate you.
I I just don't know how to fix it.
I usually just run away.
That's what I do.
That's what I've done with everyone.
The The way to make a problem smaller - is just get distance from it.
- Then change the pattern, okay? Please, s-stay.
Please stay, and we'll fix it.
Why do you even want me?! Come on, I'm I'm a bad egg.
I'm lazy, I'm a little bit crazy.
- You're not crazy.
- Shut up, shut up! God! I'm doing your list.
Con I'm unnecessarily - combative.
- Yeah.
Con I'd rather watch "The Wire" - than give you a blow job.
- "The Wire," I understand.
But "House Hunters"? Come on! And also, con I will never, ever, ever, ever marry you.
Sorry.
- Why not? - Because I don't believe in marriage.
I thought I made that pretty clear.
I thought you were just playing it cool.
No.
God, no, I think that whole, like, getting married in front of God bullshit is really it's psychotic.
What's psychotic about a commitment? Okay, it's just a promise.
I know, but I don't need a wedding or a marriage to make a promise.
[sighs.]
It's so funny we're talking about this now.
- Why? - [scoffs.]
'Cause the whole reason I brought you down here was to give you this stupid thing.
Oh, my God! Dude, holy shit! - That's That's huge.
- Yeah.
That's a beautiful, beautiful cushion cut you got there.
That's great clarity.
Really amazing clarity.
No inclusions, I mean, I obviously don't have a loop, so I can't really see it, but Yeah, great fire.
Even in starlight.
What did you do, drop like, 3OK on this? What? Yeah.
That's exactly how much I spent.
How'd you know that? Were you a former diamond smuggler? [cackles.]
No.
[chuckles.]
Stupid really.
Yeah, that represents my entire life savings.
Sweetheart, you didn't have to do this, Nate.
- You didn't.
- I know.
I mean, I'm gonna I should hang onto it, as - Yeah.

- My God! Just put it on your finger so you don't lose it.
- It's so much money.
- Okay, sorry.

Okay.
I'll stop watching hockey.
Just the minor leagues and the classics on VHS.
I'll shave the douche doughnut.
You know what would be sexy? A beard.
Yeah.
I'll promise to stop wasting time inventing stupid shit that no one will ever buy.
The NateVan was actually not that bad of an idea.
No, you were right.
You're never gonna stop the rapes.
I know.
Okay.
And listen to me.
If you stay, I promise to never, ever, ever, ever take your hand in holy matrimony.

That wasn't my foot.
Get up.
Get up, get up, get up! He actually followed through on his promise to never marry me.
- It's probably for the best.
- [sighs.]
I mean, not marrying me is one thing, but to make me stand up here like an asshole is a whole other thing.
This is so embarrassing.
You're embarrassing me in front of all of my voters.
- What did I do to deserve this? - A lot.
- Should we make a list? - No! We made a promise.
He said we would be together forever.
- I've got big balls - Who's phone is that? - I've got big balls - Guys.
It's a wedding.

Have some respect for the loser bride and turn it off! That's coming from his jacket.
But we've got the biggest I didn't set that ringtone for anyone.
Balls of them all Where are you? Look, shut up, listen.
I know we said that we would never do this, but we've got guests and we've got a cake and I swear to God, the next thing out of your mouth needs to be an ETA, and it really needs to be five minutes.
Look around.
[quietly.]
Why, are you hiding? I can't talk.
Look around.
Oh, shit.
What do I do? Run.
Holy shit.
That's your mother? Yeah.
- That explains a lot.
- Are you married? And what shovel-faced herbivore lets you jam your shriveled manhood inside her in some bloated imitation of passion? Just thought it would be important to have some family at the wedding.
And is that why you stood her up at the altar? No.
Marriage has never really worked in my family.
