Love (2016) s03e10 Episode Script
The Cruikshanks
1 [STEVEN.]
Listen, I What I'm saying is if you deliver it and it goes on my door and someone steals it, that's your fault.
So, I have to spend a hundred bucks so I can get another fucking beard trimmer I already paid for once? Great.
Good business, guys.
Thanks.
- Everything okay? - Barely.
I moved into this sketchy neighborhood, - and someone's stealing my mail.
- Hmm.
I think it's the landlady's kid, 'cause he's a shifty little fuck.
I didn't know you moved.
Since the split, Arya stays in one place and then Denise and I rotate in and out.
It's gotta have fringe benefits, right? You got your own place, your little babe lair.
Please, I wish.
I haven't gotten laid since the divorce.
Oh, shit.
Really? Story of my life, dude.
I used to kill it.
I thought I'd be the shark in the ocean on a feeding frenzy, but it turns out I'm just a sad, little, dickless eel that gets no pussy.
Too bad, I'd like for that eel to get some.
Yeah.
Hey, I wanted to talk to you about that shoot.
Shoot went great.
I mean, Arya was awesome.
Well, she can't be in it.
What? No, I mean, she is in it.
We shot her stuff already.
So Well, it's non-union, right? Plus, if it turns out to be a big turd, people are gonna see it, and that'll hurt her career.
Yeah, but it's so not a turd, it's really It's also weird you didn't ask us if she could be in it.
Do you think that's weird? She's a kid.
You don't negotiate with a teenager and just get her in your thing on the side.
I was just trying to be proactive.
I figured that's what the big shots do.
They just go and ask and then beg for forgiveness later, but Listen, I don't want to be that guy and stress you out, but she can't be in it.
And if she's in it, we're gonna sue you and go through all that and nobody wants that.
Then don't be that guy, be the guy who says, "This is awesome, and I'm supporting you, Gus.
" Fruit by the Foot.
Are you kidding me? Oh, my God, what a little nugget I found.
Haley, I know you're scared.
We all are.
You have to tell me what you saw before someone else gets killed.
They threatened my family.
What if I'm next? [MUTTERS.]
All right.
So With Arya out Uh What do we got to work with? - Nothing.
- Well, don't say nothing.
Let's stay positive here.
She witnesses the murder, so without her scene, - the ending makes no sense.
- Yeah.
- [CELL PHONE VIBRATING.]
- Hold on.
Fuck.
Okay, uh, Mickey's here, so we gotta wrap this up.
What are What are my options? What might be cool is we could take what we have and turn it into a trailer.
You realize this was supposed to be a seven-part mini-series, not a two-minute trailer? This could be for the best.
Show people the good parts.
What do you mean "the good parts"? You're saying there's bad parts? - I mean, you know, the script is great.
- [GUS.]
Mm-hmm.
You did a really great job, but execution-wise, - Okay, no.
- I don't thin we You need to stop talking, or I'm gonna burst into tears.
- Yeah.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
[GUS.]
Okay.
Um - Let's do the trailer.
- I think that's gonna be good.
Pretty soon, this passion project is gonna be a 30-second commercial.
I mean, that's not such a bad idea, either.
- Hey.
Sorry.
- What is happening in here, guys? I was just having a talk.
Movie magic? How's it going? Uh It's great.
It's going really great.
What's going on? I sense some tension in here.
No, there's no tension.
We're just talking about the movie.
- So, I'll see you guys later.
- Okay.
- Bye! - Bye.
- Have fun in South Dakota.
- Yeah.
- Fucking - Yeah.
Let me get that.
You got it? - Yeah.
- Yep, okay.
What do you think? I'd say we got about five good minutes, tops.
Oh! I was thinking three.
Maybe we can squeeze three and a half out of this thing.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING.]
- You okay? You seem kind of anx-y.
- Anx-y? Yeah, it's my cute way of saying anxious so you don't think I'm being judgy.
- Oh! - Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
Well, I'm feeling very anx-y, then.
- Mm-hmm.
No, I don't know.
I'm just You know, it's stressful going back, seeing the family.
I mean, I love 'em.
They're great.
They're the best.
- But - But [SIGHS.]
They just can be a bit much sometimes.
I mean, as a heads up, my dad's gonna seem maybe angry or mean, but he's just quiet and reserved.
And my mom, she can get a little loud sometimes, especially after a few drinks.
But, you know, fun loud.
I don't know.
They're great.
I love them.
Seriously, they're the best.
That is the nicest shit talking I've ever heard.
[CHUCKLES.]
Relax, it's gonna be fine.
I know, I know, I know.
Honestly, I just want you to like them.
Okay.
I mean, they are a bit conservative, so I don't want to be like, - "Tone it down, Mickey," but - No, I get it.
I will not bring up abortion until after dinner.
- Okay, thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- Can you do me a favor? - Mm-hmm.
Can you tell me if my house has a smell? Everybody's house has a smell.
No, no, I know.
I just Because I grew up with it, I don't know what it is.
- Okay.
- And I can't identify it.
- It's like one of those things.
- I'll take a big whiff.
Okay.
So, I, uh - I think my parents must be asleep.
- Okay.
- So, we can just turn in now.
- Sure.
- You gotta tell me.
What's the smell? - Oh.
[SNIFFING.]
It smells like laundry detergent, ham and Shalimar.
- Does your mom wear Shalimar? - She did, good nose.
- Gussie? Is that you? - [GUS.]
Ah! - Oh, my gosh.
Hi, Mom.
- Yay! My sweetie! Hello.
- You look wonderful.
- Oh, thank you, thank you.
- Dad.
Hey.
- Hey, buddy.
Good to see you.
Mom, Dad, this is Mickey.
- Nice to meet you.
- Mickey! - [GUS.]
There we are.
- Mickey, I'm Vicki.
Oh.
Look at us.
Mickey and Vicki.
- We should be a singing duo.
- Oh, we could do that! Yes! - How was the drive? - It was good.
Good drive, I would say.
- Took 212? - Mm-hmm.
Took 212 to 14 West.
- Oh, that's good.
That's smart.
- Yeah, yeah.
You two must be starving, huh? I'll warm up some cheese potatoes.
- Cheese potatoes? - Yeah, yeah.
South Dakota put their two favorite foods together.
My cholesterol is about 500, but I don't care anymore.
- Oh.
- Hmm.
[MICKEY.]
Mmm.
Mmm.
- This is delicious.
- I know, right? - Mm-hmm.
- Everybody loves Mom's cheese potatoes.
- She's the best cook.
- Good to see you eating, Gus.
This guy was so skinny, I was afraid he'd fall through his own asshole.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Hon Oh, my gosh.
Uh, so, Mickey, Gus tells us you're in radio.
Oh, yeah.
She's a big-time producer.
She is killing it.
- [VICKI.]
Oh, well, that's very impressive.
- Thank you.
So, how about you, sweetie? How's your job? It's good.
Witchita is going great.
And I just finished my movie, which is very exciting.
I hope you put our money to good use.
Mom tells me that Arya's in it, too? Oh, Arya? Yeah, she's in it.
Honey.
Honey, where did we see her? What was that movie with, you know, the cop from that show? Come on.
Help me out here.
Which cop show guy? David Caruso? No.
The one where they're always investigating everything.
You know, that one on Channel 4.
The one that Beverly hates.
The sex crimes one? Oh, no, she loves the sex crimes one.
Ooh! - Oh, gosh.
This is gonna bug me.
- [GUS LAUGHS.]
Does Arya have another job lined up? You better have another job lined up, too.
You never quit a job unless you have a job.
- Am I right, Mickey? - Totally right.
If you're still hungry, I have some more food.
We could sit over here.
We could be comfortable.
- [MICKEY.]
Yeah.
- [GUS.]
Mmm! - [MICKEY.]
Wow! Now what are these? - Well, these are my boy's favorite.
- As I recall.
- [GUS.]
Yes.
These are called pickle wheels.
- Yum, yum, yum.
- Oh, yeah.
So it's pickles and cream cheese and you wrap it in meat.
- Wow.
- [GUS.]
Mm-hmm.
How have I gone my whole life without having a pickle wheel? - It's another South Dakota delicacy.
- Right? Yummy, huh? - How about some wine? - Uh, I think we're good.
Thanks, though.
- Mickey, want some wine? - Mom, we're fine.
Well, let her answer, ding-dong.
You know what? I'm fine, I'm actually sober.
Oh.
Okay.
Neat.
How long? - Oh.
That's not a really polite thing to ask.
- Oh, it's okay.
Oh, okay.
When was it? I guess it was sometime before we met, right? - No.
- What? I wasn't sober when we met.
Oh.
Uh Basically, it was around there, though, right? - Sure.
- Yeah.
- Well, you don't mind if I - No.
Go right ahead.
- Okay, all righty.
More for me.
- [ALL LAUGH.]
Here we are gabbing about our jobs.
How's work for you two? Yeah, must be tough being a principal.
Gets tougher every year.
- Last week a kid called me a fascist.
- [ALL EXCLAIM.]
Yeah.
But he has his hobbies and that helps.
You know, fishing and hunting.
- Want to see my guns? - Oh, Dad.
It's midnight.
She doesn't want to be looking at guns.
Show me those guns! [GASPS AND CHUCKLES.]
- This is a bolt action.
Here.
Hold that.
- Okay.
All right.
Put it up against your shoulder Yeah.
Like that.
- You ever held a gun before? - Unh-unh.
Could have fooled me.
You're a natural.
Oh, yeah.
He's right.
You look so poised.
Does that feel weird, Mickey? No, I like it.
I get it, I 100% understand the appeal of this thing.
I guess I didn't take you as a hunter.
Oh, I eat steaks.
So that's killing a cow.
I wouldn't shoot a white tiger, but there's a lot of birds I don't like.
Come up in October.
Shoot some pheasant.
Me and Ken go every year.
Shotgun.
Ooh, yeah.
Pheasants suck.
Tell Ken I'm in.
[VICKI.]
Oh, you can tell him yourself.
Him and his family are dropping by - early in the morning.
- Ah.
Oh, and Caroline and Andrew are coming the night before the party.
- The party? - Yeah! Oh, my God, I can't wait for that party.
- Forty years? - I know.
Can I just tell you something? It flew by.
Just flew by.
Yeah, for me it felt exactly like 40 years.
[GUS AND VICKI LAUGHING.]
How long have you two known each other? Oh, what's it been, Mickey? Eight months? Well, in 39 years, you're gonna know what I'm talking about.
- Oh, aren't they a lovely couple? - Yes, they are.
Oh, my God.
Just lovely.
- Ooh, I like being in here.
- Yeah? It's like traveling back in time to see how little teenage Gussie lived.
Oh, yeah.
If these walls could talk, they'd say - "This boy loves jacking it.
" - [BOTH CHUCKLING.]
You know, I really like your parents.
A lot.
Oh.
That's nice to hear.
I could tell they I could tell they really liked you, too.
I can see it in their eyes.
It was very sweet.
Yeah, I don't know why you're so worried.
Your dad's not scary.
He's sweet.
So's your mom.
Yes, that's true.
It's just, you know, they're sort of naturally repressed people.
They were in good first impression mode too, so But whatever, I mean, believe me, the fact that you like them and they like you makes me very happy.
I mean, you liked my dad.
Yeah, but I got how he wasn't always the best dude to you and stuff.
Yeah.
But you gotta learn to forgive.
Resentment is like holding onto a hot coal.
Eventually, you're the one who gets burned.
Hmm.
- Is that something they say in AA? Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
Another one is, "Resentment is like drinking poison - and hoping the other person dies.
" - Huh.
Yeah, and "the only difference between a flower and a weed is judgment.
" - I like that weed-flower one.
- I finish strong.
Yeah, that one was really good.
It's just my brother Ken is going to be the tough one.
[SIGHS.]
He's Mr.
Expert.
He'll tell you - everything you're doing wrong - Hey.
- Hmm? - You want to have sex? Oh.
Um Yeah, okay.
Have you ever had sex in this bed? No.
Should I go get a bottle of champagne to crash on the headboard? [BOTH MOANING.]
Hey, um - I'm just a little worried about my - What? family waking up, so can you make the moans sound like snoring? - I'm getting in my head now.
- I'm sorry.
- Okay.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Make whatever sound you want.
- Okay.
Wake up! - Oh! - Hmm? Hi, sweetie! - Finally! - Hey.
- He has risen.
- Ah, come here.
Good morning.
Good morning, Ken.
Kelly, hi.
- Hi.
- Kelly, Ken, this is Mickey.
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry if Nina woke you guys.
Ah, no, it's fine.
We had to get up anyway, so I must be wired differently than you.
I cannot sleep in like that.
I'm up at 5:30 every day.
- Coffee? - Thank you.
Good morning.
Good morning.
[KEN.]
Now, you must not get much sleep at all though with this guy.
- Have you heard him talking in his sleep? - Shut up.
Oh.
Yeah, I mean, I've heard him once or twice.
I thought it was cute.
Remember when I had you come in and he was talking in his sleep? And he was walking around going, "The campfire goes here!" - [VICKI.]
Sweet.
Aww.
- That.
It was funny.
He was dreaming about camping.
Maybe I was dreaming about building a warm fire for my loved ones.
- I don't know.
- Oh, yeah.
It was probably that, Ken.
- We don't need to - All right.
Okay, he loves you.
Of course I do, I'm teasing him.
I'm glad you're here.
- That's nice.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
That's very sweet.
What have we got planned? What are gonna do today, guys? We can't sit inside all day.
Who's up for some Cornhole? - Cornhole? Is that a game? - Oh, is it.
Should we team up and make this real? - Yeah.
- All right, Dad, you go with Kelly.
And then Mom, Gus.
And then you want to double up? - [MICKEY.]
Yeah, let's do it.
- Mickey and me could be a team, too.
Well, no, I was trying to make it more fair.
So it's people that are good at it with people - that are less experienced or whatever.
- Yeah.
[KEN.]
Mom would be the experienced one, - then you're whatever, the rest.
- Okay.
- [VICKI.]
I'll help you out.
- [GUS.]
Gotcha.
All right, yeah.
- Little thing! - Man! The footprints over the snow The fabric of all the lonely Covering only the fables and hands - Why would you even try it? - You did that to me two rounds ago.
F-f-freezin', yeah My, my, my heart like a kick drum My, my heart like a kick drum My, my heart like a kick drum My, my love like a voice - Ah! - [GUS GROANS.]
- [VICKI.]
Oh! - [KEN.]
That's how you Cornhole! - That is how you Cornhole! - [MICKEY.]
Oh, yes! - Team Ken and Mick! You're good! - Yeah.
- [VICKI.]
We'll get 'em next time.
- Yeah.
It's okay.
I'm not that competitive, I don't even care, so That's fine, yeah.
Good game, everybody! All right, losers pick up.
Ugh.
What the fuck? Ah, yuck! Gross.
[ALL.]
Though the mountains may fall And the hills turn to dust Yet the love of the Lord will stand As a shelter for all Who will call on his name Sing the praise and the glory of God Though the mountains may fall - Hey, you're really getting into this.
- Oh, yeah, it's a good song.
The love of the Lord will stand As the shelter for all Who will call on his name Listen to this angel.
Sing the praise and the glory of God Da - Whoa.
What the fuck? - Fuck! - What? - The drain's all blocked up.
I thought you were out for the day.
Yeah, it got super hot.
Has this ever happened before? You should ask Mickey.
No.
No one likes getting a panicky call when they're out of town.
I'll fix it.
You can really fix this? I don't know.
Can you? - No way.
We should call a plumber.
- [SIGHS.]
Are you mad at me? I'm just [SIGHS.]
It just sucks dealing with this.
Yeah, but like, outside of this, you've been acting really weird around me.
You always seem kind of cranky, and we haven't had sex in, like Can we talk about this when I'm not covered in bile? - [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- Fuck! What? Oh, it's just like It sucks dealing with this, fuck.
- Hi, come on in.
- Hey.
Hi.
Randy's here.
- Hey! - Oh.
Hey, Chris.
- Hey.
Uh - What's up? Oh, I told Chris about the blocked drain.
He said he'd come over and take a look.
- Yeah, yeah.
Somebody call a plumber? - Yep.
Well, you could've asked me, Bertie.
Yeah, but you know, you were out for the day, and you did just literally say you couldn't fix it.
Yeah, well, not everybody has a drain gun thing.
- But - Uh, it's a drain snake.
Yeah, well, I would've figured it out.
Um You know, I can go and You can borrow this, if you want.
It is pretty easy.
This thing just comes out and then it will grab the hair No, no, no.
Stay.
Uh, we can fix it together.
- We'll use the, uh, the snake.
Cool.
- Okay.
[CHUCKLES.]
[BERTIE MUTTERS.]
So, Mickey, what'd you think? Thank you, Father.
Did you like it? Don't grill her about this stuff.
Thank you, Father.
- I thought it was nice, very peaceful.
- I saw you took communion.
Was that bad? Gus told me I shouldn't.
No, it's just, you know, Catholics think that the bread and wine is Jesus' actual body and blood.
So I just wanted you to be aware.
That's why I want to try it.
It's like Anthony Bourdain eating a cow's brain.
I liked that you tried it.
Me, too.
It's good to try everything once.
Oh, and what about Father Tom? Isn't his sermon good? He's so smart.
You think he's cute.
Your mother has a crush on our priest.
- I don't.
Stop saying that.
- You said he was handsome.
Just 'cause you asked me.
I mean, he's okay.
He's no Jimmy Smits.
So, Gus, you get to church much in LA or Oh, yeah.
No, I try to.
Dude, come on.
Do you even believe in God? All right, all right.
Let's not have the Spanish Inquisition.
[LAUGHS.]
- We'll see you at home.
Okay? - [GUS.]
Okay, yeah.
I want to show Mickey a few spots around town so I'm gonna give her a quick tour and we'll be back.
- [KEN.]
All right.
- Bye.
- [MICKEY.]
Bye.
- [KEN.]
See you.
- I've never seen you go to church.
- Yeah.
I was lying.
- Hmm.
- Yeah.
- All right, all fixed.
- Beautiful, thank you.
- Yeah.
- Uh, yeah.
Thanks, Chris.
[GRUNTS.]
Well, I think I'm gonna take off.
All right, cool, yeah.
I'm gonna shower now that it's fixed.
- Okey-dokey.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Cool.
- All right, have a good day, bud.
- Yeah.
See you, dude.
All right, see you.
Hey, does he know about us? - It seemed like he was jealous.
- Oh, no.
I think he's jealous of how quickly you fixed the drain.
Which was amazing, by the way.
The way you were like [IMITATES WHIRRING.]
- It was incredible.
- Thanks.
[SIGHS.]
I just I don't think we should be hooking up while you guys are still together.
Okay, but what are you saying? Well, if you break up with him, then it wouldn't feel so wrong.
I want to break up with him.
It's just really, really hard.
But I like you so much.
I know.
Me, too.
Uh Okay.
- I'm gonna go try and return this.
- Oh, okay.
- See you.
- Bye.
Over there is where my first job was.
- Aw! - Yeah.
Hey, uh, Mickey, thank you so much, by the way, for pretending to like church for my family.
- It meant a lot to them and me - No.
I genuinely liked it.
- Oh! - Why? You didn't? - No, I did not.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
I think your family could handle it.
You should give 'em more credit.
I know you're all buddy-buddy, best friends with the Cruikshanks now, so sorry to What does this mean? What? I don't know, it's just like you're super into church and guns and Cornhole.
I'm like, "Who is this person?" I'm surprised.
That's all.
You're weirded out that I'm getting along with your family? Because before we got here, you're so concerned that we weren't gonna get along.
And now that we are, you're pissed about it? I admit, it does not make sense.
I'm being weird here.
It's fine.
You're right.
[SIGHS.]
You know, right there is where I smoked my first cigarette with my friends.
And then, right there is where I immediately threw up chili in front of my friends.
Look, I get it.
You've got your own history with your family, but try to see them through my eyes and you'll see how great they are.
Yeah.
You're right, you're right.
And when we get back to the house, just relax and try to enjoy 'em like I do.
You're very smart.
Thank you.
- You're the smartest person I know.
- I know.
I mean, your friends are all idiots.
Ruby can barely speak.
- Give me the Super Soaker.
- No, it's mine.
- No, Dad bought it for me.
- He bought it for both of us.
No, he didn't.
- [LAUGHING.]
Oh, my God! Look at you! - [GUS.]
Oh, my God.
Why does this make me laugh so much? This part right here [LAUGHING.]
I'm just glad this is a video before I hit puberty and all hell broke loose.
Otherwise, you would have seen one big zit and a tiny little boner.
- [LAUGHS.]
- I'm glad we have evidence of this.
We can show it in court for what a jerk you used to be.
[KEN.]
I wasn't a jerk.
I called "no take backs.
" You'd had your turn with it, Gus.
[WOMAN.]
Hello, Cruikshanks.
Roll out the red carpet! Oh, my God.
Lina-bean.
How's it going? Good.
Hi.
- Hi, hi.
Hello.
Hi, Dad.
- Hello, my little girl.
Hello, good to see you.
Hello.
Hi, good to see you.
Oh, we missed you.
- We missed you.
[LAUGHS.]
- Okay.
Yeah, right.
Caroline, this is Mickey.
Mickey, Caroline.
Hi! I've heard so many great things about you.
Oh, good.
So everybody's been getting the payoff money, then? - [LAUGHING.]
- Took care of it.
Oh, I see we pulled out a family classic for our new guest.
But I was just thinking, since you're both here in the flesh, maybe we could, you know, get a little bit of - Nope! No.
- [CAROLINE.]
Oh, my Come on.
Wait a second.
What is this? Ever since they were little kids, they put on a show.
It's a great show.
Okay, it was cute, and now it's just weird.
So Grotesque is what it is.
Grotesque? I love grotesque.
Come on, Gus.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, please.
Come on.
- Okay.
- What? Gus, you caved! - I got the outfits, let me get 'em.
- Gus, I will help.
He's Gus! He caved! - ["I'M SO EXCITED" PLAYING.]
- I'm so excited And I just can't hide it I'm about to lose control And I think I like it I think we're seeing a dress rehearsal.
I'm so excited And I just can't hide it I'm about to lose control And I think I like it - [BOTH.]
Whoo! - [MUSIC STOPS.]
- [SHOUTS.]
- [DAD CHUCKLING.]
- Bravo! - [GUS.]
Thank you.
- When they were little, it was so cute.
- [DAD.]
It was like synchronized swimming.
It was still sad, but it was like cute sad Gus.
You all just watched us perform a song about the joy of the female orgasm.
- So congrats.
- [ALL CHEERING.]
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I gotta go saw some logs.
- Good night, everybody.
- Yeah, I'm exhausted.
I'll grab Nina, make sure she doesn't wake.
Actually, everybody, before you go, we have a little bit of news that we wanted to announce, and I was gonna wait for Andrew to get here, but I don't want to - like, overshadow the party tomorrow, so - Just say it.
- We're having a baby boy.
- What? [CLAMORING.]
[CAROLINE.]
That's great! [GUS.]
That's awesome.
Congratulations.
A grandson, how about that? - [CAROLINE.]
Thank you.
- You're gonna be busy! Gus, they're lapping us.
I know.
It's like pump the brakes, guys.
You're making us look bad.
Well, it doesn't have to be that way.
How about catching up a little? Maybe we could expect some grandchildren, Gussie? [GUS.]
Oh [CHUCKLES.]
No, don't hold your breath.
[LAUGHS.]
What does that mean? What? No, I just mean, like, I don't even think we could handle that.
That's crazy.
So crazy.
Why would you say that? I mean, maybe in four years or something.
Gus, you just stepped in it, bro.
[LAUGHING.]
Stepped in it, I don't think I might have - You feeling good and everything? - Yeah, I feel good.
Good, you look really good.
[CHATTERING.]
So, um, I'm setting my alarm for nine.
What time are you gonna get up? Is it, like, you're not talking to me, or "Don't hold your breath"? For what? No, that's what you said to your mom and your dad.
"Don't hold your breath"? That is so rude! - Well, it was a joke.
- It was a mean and shitty joke.
Okay, maybe it was a bad joke, but I didn't mean it, so - You said I shouldn't have children.
- In four years.
I said that because I knew you would get upset.
- So I was like, "Well, in four years.
" - Four years? What does that mean? In four years we figure out if we're having a kid or not.
I just What? But why? Why four years in this master plan that you've concocted for my life? You're making it sound like way worse than what it actually is.
I just mean, like, in four years we'll have a better - understanding of - Of? Just say it.
Will you just say it? [SIGHS.]
Your sobriety.
We'll know if you're sober or not.
I don't know.
[SIGHS.]
So you don't think I'm gonna be sober in four years.
And you don't want to have children with me.
I didn't say that.
You told me that last week you almost drank, okay? So when I hear that, it makes me scared about, like - "Okay, where's this going?" - I get it.
"Is she gonna drink in a week, two weeks or a year? I don't know.
" How do you think sobriety works? You think in four years I couldn't fall off the wagon? You think in ten years I couldn't fall off the wagon? You think in 20 years I couldn't fall off the wagon? There are no guarantees.
All I can promise you is right now - I am trying as hard as I fucking can.
- Okay.
So it doesn't make me feel very good that now you're backing away.
You can no longer see a future with me because I told you I almost but didn't drink last week.
- Mm-hmm.
- That was a really shitty moment for me.
But you know what? I felt proud of myself after that, 'cause I didn't drink.
And if you can't see that as a victory, and now you're just nervous and scared, "Oh, God, she's not the right person to have a kid with," then what are we doing? I can't look at you.
You are being such a dick right now.
You ask me to be honest all the time and then when I'm honest If that's really how you feel then maybe we shouldn't be together.
What? Come on.
I didn't You know, that's not what I Maybe we just shouldn't be in a relationship then.
[GUS GROWLS.]
You're really gonna do this right now while we're back at my parents' house? You're gonna fucking start talking about breaking up? You brought it up with your shitty joke.
I didn't bring up breaking up.
You brought that up.
No.
But how you really feel about me is grounds for breaking up.
Okay, come on.
Let's just We're getting upset.
I think there's a lot of pressure with families and stuff.
- Let's just relax, okay? - No, I'm not relaxing.
Get out! I don't want to sleep in the same bed as you.
I'll fucking scream if you don't get out.
Randy, I think we should break up.
[SNORING.]
[SIGHS.]
- Fuck! - What the fuck? - What the fuck? - What? I didn't know you were here.
I'm sorry, man.
- Yeah, I got in, like, 30 minutes ago.
- Jesus.
Did you just fart? - Yeah, you startled me.
I just farted.
- Ugh.
- I'm sorry.
Good to see you.
I'm just - See you.
You don't have to do that.
It's not that bad.
I'm not calling for a reason, dear And the reason is because There is no reason I should call you Because your love, my darling I have lost You and I used To love each other, dear Do you remember way back then? But now, somehow Our love has lost its power We'll never get it back again [SIGHS.]
I'm not completely sure I'm sorry, darling When I get angry, then I'm glad I'm happy that it's finally over But when I'm not mad, then I'm sad I've noticed that you Never call me darling, darling I understand the reason why There is no reason You should call me darling, darling
Listen, I What I'm saying is if you deliver it and it goes on my door and someone steals it, that's your fault.
So, I have to spend a hundred bucks so I can get another fucking beard trimmer I already paid for once? Great.
Good business, guys.
Thanks.
- Everything okay? - Barely.
I moved into this sketchy neighborhood, - and someone's stealing my mail.
- Hmm.
I think it's the landlady's kid, 'cause he's a shifty little fuck.
I didn't know you moved.
Since the split, Arya stays in one place and then Denise and I rotate in and out.
It's gotta have fringe benefits, right? You got your own place, your little babe lair.
Please, I wish.
I haven't gotten laid since the divorce.
Oh, shit.
Really? Story of my life, dude.
I used to kill it.
I thought I'd be the shark in the ocean on a feeding frenzy, but it turns out I'm just a sad, little, dickless eel that gets no pussy.
Too bad, I'd like for that eel to get some.
Yeah.
Hey, I wanted to talk to you about that shoot.
Shoot went great.
I mean, Arya was awesome.
Well, she can't be in it.
What? No, I mean, she is in it.
We shot her stuff already.
So Well, it's non-union, right? Plus, if it turns out to be a big turd, people are gonna see it, and that'll hurt her career.
Yeah, but it's so not a turd, it's really It's also weird you didn't ask us if she could be in it.
Do you think that's weird? She's a kid.
You don't negotiate with a teenager and just get her in your thing on the side.
I was just trying to be proactive.
I figured that's what the big shots do.
They just go and ask and then beg for forgiveness later, but Listen, I don't want to be that guy and stress you out, but she can't be in it.
And if she's in it, we're gonna sue you and go through all that and nobody wants that.
Then don't be that guy, be the guy who says, "This is awesome, and I'm supporting you, Gus.
" Fruit by the Foot.
Are you kidding me? Oh, my God, what a little nugget I found.
Haley, I know you're scared.
We all are.
You have to tell me what you saw before someone else gets killed.
They threatened my family.
What if I'm next? [MUTTERS.]
All right.
So With Arya out Uh What do we got to work with? - Nothing.
- Well, don't say nothing.
Let's stay positive here.
She witnesses the murder, so without her scene, - the ending makes no sense.
- Yeah.
- [CELL PHONE VIBRATING.]
- Hold on.
Fuck.
Okay, uh, Mickey's here, so we gotta wrap this up.
What are What are my options? What might be cool is we could take what we have and turn it into a trailer.
You realize this was supposed to be a seven-part mini-series, not a two-minute trailer? This could be for the best.
Show people the good parts.
What do you mean "the good parts"? You're saying there's bad parts? - I mean, you know, the script is great.
- [GUS.]
Mm-hmm.
You did a really great job, but execution-wise, - Okay, no.
- I don't thin we You need to stop talking, or I'm gonna burst into tears.
- Yeah.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
[GUS.]
Okay.
Um - Let's do the trailer.
- I think that's gonna be good.
Pretty soon, this passion project is gonna be a 30-second commercial.
I mean, that's not such a bad idea, either.
- Hey.
Sorry.
- What is happening in here, guys? I was just having a talk.
Movie magic? How's it going? Uh It's great.
It's going really great.
What's going on? I sense some tension in here.
No, there's no tension.
We're just talking about the movie.
- So, I'll see you guys later.
- Okay.
- Bye! - Bye.
- Have fun in South Dakota.
- Yeah.
- Fucking - Yeah.
Let me get that.
You got it? - Yeah.
- Yep, okay.
What do you think? I'd say we got about five good minutes, tops.
Oh! I was thinking three.
Maybe we can squeeze three and a half out of this thing.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING.]
- You okay? You seem kind of anx-y.
- Anx-y? Yeah, it's my cute way of saying anxious so you don't think I'm being judgy.
- Oh! - Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
Well, I'm feeling very anx-y, then.
- Mm-hmm.
No, I don't know.
I'm just You know, it's stressful going back, seeing the family.
I mean, I love 'em.
They're great.
They're the best.
- But - But [SIGHS.]
They just can be a bit much sometimes.
I mean, as a heads up, my dad's gonna seem maybe angry or mean, but he's just quiet and reserved.
And my mom, she can get a little loud sometimes, especially after a few drinks.
But, you know, fun loud.
I don't know.
They're great.
I love them.
Seriously, they're the best.
That is the nicest shit talking I've ever heard.
[CHUCKLES.]
Relax, it's gonna be fine.
I know, I know, I know.
Honestly, I just want you to like them.
Okay.
I mean, they are a bit conservative, so I don't want to be like, - "Tone it down, Mickey," but - No, I get it.
I will not bring up abortion until after dinner.
- Okay, thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- Can you do me a favor? - Mm-hmm.
Can you tell me if my house has a smell? Everybody's house has a smell.
No, no, I know.
I just Because I grew up with it, I don't know what it is.
- Okay.
- And I can't identify it.
- It's like one of those things.
- I'll take a big whiff.
Okay.
So, I, uh - I think my parents must be asleep.
- Okay.
- So, we can just turn in now.
- Sure.
- You gotta tell me.
What's the smell? - Oh.
[SNIFFING.]
It smells like laundry detergent, ham and Shalimar.
- Does your mom wear Shalimar? - She did, good nose.
- Gussie? Is that you? - [GUS.]
Ah! - Oh, my gosh.
Hi, Mom.
- Yay! My sweetie! Hello.
- You look wonderful.
- Oh, thank you, thank you.
- Dad.
Hey.
- Hey, buddy.
Good to see you.
Mom, Dad, this is Mickey.
- Nice to meet you.
- Mickey! - [GUS.]
There we are.
- Mickey, I'm Vicki.
Oh.
Look at us.
Mickey and Vicki.
- We should be a singing duo.
- Oh, we could do that! Yes! - How was the drive? - It was good.
Good drive, I would say.
- Took 212? - Mm-hmm.
Took 212 to 14 West.
- Oh, that's good.
That's smart.
- Yeah, yeah.
You two must be starving, huh? I'll warm up some cheese potatoes.
- Cheese potatoes? - Yeah, yeah.
South Dakota put their two favorite foods together.
My cholesterol is about 500, but I don't care anymore.
- Oh.
- Hmm.
[MICKEY.]
Mmm.
Mmm.
- This is delicious.
- I know, right? - Mm-hmm.
- Everybody loves Mom's cheese potatoes.
- She's the best cook.
- Good to see you eating, Gus.
This guy was so skinny, I was afraid he'd fall through his own asshole.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Hon Oh, my gosh.
Uh, so, Mickey, Gus tells us you're in radio.
Oh, yeah.
She's a big-time producer.
She is killing it.
- [VICKI.]
Oh, well, that's very impressive.
- Thank you.
So, how about you, sweetie? How's your job? It's good.
Witchita is going great.
And I just finished my movie, which is very exciting.
I hope you put our money to good use.
Mom tells me that Arya's in it, too? Oh, Arya? Yeah, she's in it.
Honey.
Honey, where did we see her? What was that movie with, you know, the cop from that show? Come on.
Help me out here.
Which cop show guy? David Caruso? No.
The one where they're always investigating everything.
You know, that one on Channel 4.
The one that Beverly hates.
The sex crimes one? Oh, no, she loves the sex crimes one.
Ooh! - Oh, gosh.
This is gonna bug me.
- [GUS LAUGHS.]
Does Arya have another job lined up? You better have another job lined up, too.
You never quit a job unless you have a job.
- Am I right, Mickey? - Totally right.
If you're still hungry, I have some more food.
We could sit over here.
We could be comfortable.
- [MICKEY.]
Yeah.
- [GUS.]
Mmm! - [MICKEY.]
Wow! Now what are these? - Well, these are my boy's favorite.
- As I recall.
- [GUS.]
Yes.
These are called pickle wheels.
- Yum, yum, yum.
- Oh, yeah.
So it's pickles and cream cheese and you wrap it in meat.
- Wow.
- [GUS.]
Mm-hmm.
How have I gone my whole life without having a pickle wheel? - It's another South Dakota delicacy.
- Right? Yummy, huh? - How about some wine? - Uh, I think we're good.
Thanks, though.
- Mickey, want some wine? - Mom, we're fine.
Well, let her answer, ding-dong.
You know what? I'm fine, I'm actually sober.
Oh.
Okay.
Neat.
How long? - Oh.
That's not a really polite thing to ask.
- Oh, it's okay.
Oh, okay.
When was it? I guess it was sometime before we met, right? - No.
- What? I wasn't sober when we met.
Oh.
Uh Basically, it was around there, though, right? - Sure.
- Yeah.
- Well, you don't mind if I - No.
Go right ahead.
- Okay, all righty.
More for me.
- [ALL LAUGH.]
Here we are gabbing about our jobs.
How's work for you two? Yeah, must be tough being a principal.
Gets tougher every year.
- Last week a kid called me a fascist.
- [ALL EXCLAIM.]
Yeah.
But he has his hobbies and that helps.
You know, fishing and hunting.
- Want to see my guns? - Oh, Dad.
It's midnight.
She doesn't want to be looking at guns.
Show me those guns! [GASPS AND CHUCKLES.]
- This is a bolt action.
Here.
Hold that.
- Okay.
All right.
Put it up against your shoulder Yeah.
Like that.
- You ever held a gun before? - Unh-unh.
Could have fooled me.
You're a natural.
Oh, yeah.
He's right.
You look so poised.
Does that feel weird, Mickey? No, I like it.
I get it, I 100% understand the appeal of this thing.
I guess I didn't take you as a hunter.
Oh, I eat steaks.
So that's killing a cow.
I wouldn't shoot a white tiger, but there's a lot of birds I don't like.
Come up in October.
Shoot some pheasant.
Me and Ken go every year.
Shotgun.
Ooh, yeah.
Pheasants suck.
Tell Ken I'm in.
[VICKI.]
Oh, you can tell him yourself.
Him and his family are dropping by - early in the morning.
- Ah.
Oh, and Caroline and Andrew are coming the night before the party.
- The party? - Yeah! Oh, my God, I can't wait for that party.
- Forty years? - I know.
Can I just tell you something? It flew by.
Just flew by.
Yeah, for me it felt exactly like 40 years.
[GUS AND VICKI LAUGHING.]
How long have you two known each other? Oh, what's it been, Mickey? Eight months? Well, in 39 years, you're gonna know what I'm talking about.
- Oh, aren't they a lovely couple? - Yes, they are.
Oh, my God.
Just lovely.
- Ooh, I like being in here.
- Yeah? It's like traveling back in time to see how little teenage Gussie lived.
Oh, yeah.
If these walls could talk, they'd say - "This boy loves jacking it.
" - [BOTH CHUCKLING.]
You know, I really like your parents.
A lot.
Oh.
That's nice to hear.
I could tell they I could tell they really liked you, too.
I can see it in their eyes.
It was very sweet.
Yeah, I don't know why you're so worried.
Your dad's not scary.
He's sweet.
So's your mom.
Yes, that's true.
It's just, you know, they're sort of naturally repressed people.
They were in good first impression mode too, so But whatever, I mean, believe me, the fact that you like them and they like you makes me very happy.
I mean, you liked my dad.
Yeah, but I got how he wasn't always the best dude to you and stuff.
Yeah.
But you gotta learn to forgive.
Resentment is like holding onto a hot coal.
Eventually, you're the one who gets burned.
Hmm.
- Is that something they say in AA? Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
Another one is, "Resentment is like drinking poison - and hoping the other person dies.
" - Huh.
Yeah, and "the only difference between a flower and a weed is judgment.
" - I like that weed-flower one.
- I finish strong.
Yeah, that one was really good.
It's just my brother Ken is going to be the tough one.
[SIGHS.]
He's Mr.
Expert.
He'll tell you - everything you're doing wrong - Hey.
- Hmm? - You want to have sex? Oh.
Um Yeah, okay.
Have you ever had sex in this bed? No.
Should I go get a bottle of champagne to crash on the headboard? [BOTH MOANING.]
Hey, um - I'm just a little worried about my - What? family waking up, so can you make the moans sound like snoring? - I'm getting in my head now.
- I'm sorry.
- Okay.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Make whatever sound you want.
- Okay.
Wake up! - Oh! - Hmm? Hi, sweetie! - Finally! - Hey.
- He has risen.
- Ah, come here.
Good morning.
Good morning, Ken.
Kelly, hi.
- Hi.
- Kelly, Ken, this is Mickey.
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry if Nina woke you guys.
Ah, no, it's fine.
We had to get up anyway, so I must be wired differently than you.
I cannot sleep in like that.
I'm up at 5:30 every day.
- Coffee? - Thank you.
Good morning.
Good morning.
[KEN.]
Now, you must not get much sleep at all though with this guy.
- Have you heard him talking in his sleep? - Shut up.
Oh.
Yeah, I mean, I've heard him once or twice.
I thought it was cute.
Remember when I had you come in and he was talking in his sleep? And he was walking around going, "The campfire goes here!" - [VICKI.]
Sweet.
Aww.
- That.
It was funny.
He was dreaming about camping.
Maybe I was dreaming about building a warm fire for my loved ones.
- I don't know.
- Oh, yeah.
It was probably that, Ken.
- We don't need to - All right.
Okay, he loves you.
Of course I do, I'm teasing him.
I'm glad you're here.
- That's nice.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
That's very sweet.
What have we got planned? What are gonna do today, guys? We can't sit inside all day.
Who's up for some Cornhole? - Cornhole? Is that a game? - Oh, is it.
Should we team up and make this real? - Yeah.
- All right, Dad, you go with Kelly.
And then Mom, Gus.
And then you want to double up? - [MICKEY.]
Yeah, let's do it.
- Mickey and me could be a team, too.
Well, no, I was trying to make it more fair.
So it's people that are good at it with people - that are less experienced or whatever.
- Yeah.
[KEN.]
Mom would be the experienced one, - then you're whatever, the rest.
- Okay.
- [VICKI.]
I'll help you out.
- [GUS.]
Gotcha.
All right, yeah.
- Little thing! - Man! The footprints over the snow The fabric of all the lonely Covering only the fables and hands - Why would you even try it? - You did that to me two rounds ago.
F-f-freezin', yeah My, my, my heart like a kick drum My, my heart like a kick drum My, my heart like a kick drum My, my love like a voice - Ah! - [GUS GROANS.]
- [VICKI.]
Oh! - [KEN.]
That's how you Cornhole! - That is how you Cornhole! - [MICKEY.]
Oh, yes! - Team Ken and Mick! You're good! - Yeah.
- [VICKI.]
We'll get 'em next time.
- Yeah.
It's okay.
I'm not that competitive, I don't even care, so That's fine, yeah.
Good game, everybody! All right, losers pick up.
Ugh.
What the fuck? Ah, yuck! Gross.
[ALL.]
Though the mountains may fall And the hills turn to dust Yet the love of the Lord will stand As a shelter for all Who will call on his name Sing the praise and the glory of God Though the mountains may fall - Hey, you're really getting into this.
- Oh, yeah, it's a good song.
The love of the Lord will stand As the shelter for all Who will call on his name Listen to this angel.
Sing the praise and the glory of God Da - Whoa.
What the fuck? - Fuck! - What? - The drain's all blocked up.
I thought you were out for the day.
Yeah, it got super hot.
Has this ever happened before? You should ask Mickey.
No.
No one likes getting a panicky call when they're out of town.
I'll fix it.
You can really fix this? I don't know.
Can you? - No way.
We should call a plumber.
- [SIGHS.]
Are you mad at me? I'm just [SIGHS.]
It just sucks dealing with this.
Yeah, but like, outside of this, you've been acting really weird around me.
You always seem kind of cranky, and we haven't had sex in, like Can we talk about this when I'm not covered in bile? - [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- Fuck! What? Oh, it's just like It sucks dealing with this, fuck.
- Hi, come on in.
- Hey.
Hi.
Randy's here.
- Hey! - Oh.
Hey, Chris.
- Hey.
Uh - What's up? Oh, I told Chris about the blocked drain.
He said he'd come over and take a look.
- Yeah, yeah.
Somebody call a plumber? - Yep.
Well, you could've asked me, Bertie.
Yeah, but you know, you were out for the day, and you did just literally say you couldn't fix it.
Yeah, well, not everybody has a drain gun thing.
- But - Uh, it's a drain snake.
Yeah, well, I would've figured it out.
Um You know, I can go and You can borrow this, if you want.
It is pretty easy.
This thing just comes out and then it will grab the hair No, no, no.
Stay.
Uh, we can fix it together.
- We'll use the, uh, the snake.
Cool.
- Okay.
[CHUCKLES.]
[BERTIE MUTTERS.]
So, Mickey, what'd you think? Thank you, Father.
Did you like it? Don't grill her about this stuff.
Thank you, Father.
- I thought it was nice, very peaceful.
- I saw you took communion.
Was that bad? Gus told me I shouldn't.
No, it's just, you know, Catholics think that the bread and wine is Jesus' actual body and blood.
So I just wanted you to be aware.
That's why I want to try it.
It's like Anthony Bourdain eating a cow's brain.
I liked that you tried it.
Me, too.
It's good to try everything once.
Oh, and what about Father Tom? Isn't his sermon good? He's so smart.
You think he's cute.
Your mother has a crush on our priest.
- I don't.
Stop saying that.
- You said he was handsome.
Just 'cause you asked me.
I mean, he's okay.
He's no Jimmy Smits.
So, Gus, you get to church much in LA or Oh, yeah.
No, I try to.
Dude, come on.
Do you even believe in God? All right, all right.
Let's not have the Spanish Inquisition.
[LAUGHS.]
- We'll see you at home.
Okay? - [GUS.]
Okay, yeah.
I want to show Mickey a few spots around town so I'm gonna give her a quick tour and we'll be back.
- [KEN.]
All right.
- Bye.
- [MICKEY.]
Bye.
- [KEN.]
See you.
- I've never seen you go to church.
- Yeah.
I was lying.
- Hmm.
- Yeah.
- All right, all fixed.
- Beautiful, thank you.
- Yeah.
- Uh, yeah.
Thanks, Chris.
[GRUNTS.]
Well, I think I'm gonna take off.
All right, cool, yeah.
I'm gonna shower now that it's fixed.
- Okey-dokey.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Cool.
- All right, have a good day, bud.
- Yeah.
See you, dude.
All right, see you.
Hey, does he know about us? - It seemed like he was jealous.
- Oh, no.
I think he's jealous of how quickly you fixed the drain.
Which was amazing, by the way.
The way you were like [IMITATES WHIRRING.]
- It was incredible.
- Thanks.
[SIGHS.]
I just I don't think we should be hooking up while you guys are still together.
Okay, but what are you saying? Well, if you break up with him, then it wouldn't feel so wrong.
I want to break up with him.
It's just really, really hard.
But I like you so much.
I know.
Me, too.
Uh Okay.
- I'm gonna go try and return this.
- Oh, okay.
- See you.
- Bye.
Over there is where my first job was.
- Aw! - Yeah.
Hey, uh, Mickey, thank you so much, by the way, for pretending to like church for my family.
- It meant a lot to them and me - No.
I genuinely liked it.
- Oh! - Why? You didn't? - No, I did not.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
I think your family could handle it.
You should give 'em more credit.
I know you're all buddy-buddy, best friends with the Cruikshanks now, so sorry to What does this mean? What? I don't know, it's just like you're super into church and guns and Cornhole.
I'm like, "Who is this person?" I'm surprised.
That's all.
You're weirded out that I'm getting along with your family? Because before we got here, you're so concerned that we weren't gonna get along.
And now that we are, you're pissed about it? I admit, it does not make sense.
I'm being weird here.
It's fine.
You're right.
[SIGHS.]
You know, right there is where I smoked my first cigarette with my friends.
And then, right there is where I immediately threw up chili in front of my friends.
Look, I get it.
You've got your own history with your family, but try to see them through my eyes and you'll see how great they are.
Yeah.
You're right, you're right.
And when we get back to the house, just relax and try to enjoy 'em like I do.
You're very smart.
Thank you.
- You're the smartest person I know.
- I know.
I mean, your friends are all idiots.
Ruby can barely speak.
- Give me the Super Soaker.
- No, it's mine.
- No, Dad bought it for me.
- He bought it for both of us.
No, he didn't.
- [LAUGHING.]
Oh, my God! Look at you! - [GUS.]
Oh, my God.
Why does this make me laugh so much? This part right here [LAUGHING.]
I'm just glad this is a video before I hit puberty and all hell broke loose.
Otherwise, you would have seen one big zit and a tiny little boner.
- [LAUGHS.]
- I'm glad we have evidence of this.
We can show it in court for what a jerk you used to be.
[KEN.]
I wasn't a jerk.
I called "no take backs.
" You'd had your turn with it, Gus.
[WOMAN.]
Hello, Cruikshanks.
Roll out the red carpet! Oh, my God.
Lina-bean.
How's it going? Good.
Hi.
- Hi, hi.
Hello.
Hi, Dad.
- Hello, my little girl.
Hello, good to see you.
Hello.
Hi, good to see you.
Oh, we missed you.
- We missed you.
[LAUGHS.]
- Okay.
Yeah, right.
Caroline, this is Mickey.
Mickey, Caroline.
Hi! I've heard so many great things about you.
Oh, good.
So everybody's been getting the payoff money, then? - [LAUGHING.]
- Took care of it.
Oh, I see we pulled out a family classic for our new guest.
But I was just thinking, since you're both here in the flesh, maybe we could, you know, get a little bit of - Nope! No.
- [CAROLINE.]
Oh, my Come on.
Wait a second.
What is this? Ever since they were little kids, they put on a show.
It's a great show.
Okay, it was cute, and now it's just weird.
So Grotesque is what it is.
Grotesque? I love grotesque.
Come on, Gus.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, please.
Come on.
- Okay.
- What? Gus, you caved! - I got the outfits, let me get 'em.
- Gus, I will help.
He's Gus! He caved! - ["I'M SO EXCITED" PLAYING.]
- I'm so excited And I just can't hide it I'm about to lose control And I think I like it I think we're seeing a dress rehearsal.
I'm so excited And I just can't hide it I'm about to lose control And I think I like it - [BOTH.]
Whoo! - [MUSIC STOPS.]
- [SHOUTS.]
- [DAD CHUCKLING.]
- Bravo! - [GUS.]
Thank you.
- When they were little, it was so cute.
- [DAD.]
It was like synchronized swimming.
It was still sad, but it was like cute sad Gus.
You all just watched us perform a song about the joy of the female orgasm.
- So congrats.
- [ALL CHEERING.]
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I gotta go saw some logs.
- Good night, everybody.
- Yeah, I'm exhausted.
I'll grab Nina, make sure she doesn't wake.
Actually, everybody, before you go, we have a little bit of news that we wanted to announce, and I was gonna wait for Andrew to get here, but I don't want to - like, overshadow the party tomorrow, so - Just say it.
- We're having a baby boy.
- What? [CLAMORING.]
[CAROLINE.]
That's great! [GUS.]
That's awesome.
Congratulations.
A grandson, how about that? - [CAROLINE.]
Thank you.
- You're gonna be busy! Gus, they're lapping us.
I know.
It's like pump the brakes, guys.
You're making us look bad.
Well, it doesn't have to be that way.
How about catching up a little? Maybe we could expect some grandchildren, Gussie? [GUS.]
Oh [CHUCKLES.]
No, don't hold your breath.
[LAUGHS.]
What does that mean? What? No, I just mean, like, I don't even think we could handle that.
That's crazy.
So crazy.
Why would you say that? I mean, maybe in four years or something.
Gus, you just stepped in it, bro.
[LAUGHING.]
Stepped in it, I don't think I might have - You feeling good and everything? - Yeah, I feel good.
Good, you look really good.
[CHATTERING.]
So, um, I'm setting my alarm for nine.
What time are you gonna get up? Is it, like, you're not talking to me, or "Don't hold your breath"? For what? No, that's what you said to your mom and your dad.
"Don't hold your breath"? That is so rude! - Well, it was a joke.
- It was a mean and shitty joke.
Okay, maybe it was a bad joke, but I didn't mean it, so - You said I shouldn't have children.
- In four years.
I said that because I knew you would get upset.
- So I was like, "Well, in four years.
" - Four years? What does that mean? In four years we figure out if we're having a kid or not.
I just What? But why? Why four years in this master plan that you've concocted for my life? You're making it sound like way worse than what it actually is.
I just mean, like, in four years we'll have a better - understanding of - Of? Just say it.
Will you just say it? [SIGHS.]
Your sobriety.
We'll know if you're sober or not.
I don't know.
[SIGHS.]
So you don't think I'm gonna be sober in four years.
And you don't want to have children with me.
I didn't say that.
You told me that last week you almost drank, okay? So when I hear that, it makes me scared about, like - "Okay, where's this going?" - I get it.
"Is she gonna drink in a week, two weeks or a year? I don't know.
" How do you think sobriety works? You think in four years I couldn't fall off the wagon? You think in ten years I couldn't fall off the wagon? You think in 20 years I couldn't fall off the wagon? There are no guarantees.
All I can promise you is right now - I am trying as hard as I fucking can.
- Okay.
So it doesn't make me feel very good that now you're backing away.
You can no longer see a future with me because I told you I almost but didn't drink last week.
- Mm-hmm.
- That was a really shitty moment for me.
But you know what? I felt proud of myself after that, 'cause I didn't drink.
And if you can't see that as a victory, and now you're just nervous and scared, "Oh, God, she's not the right person to have a kid with," then what are we doing? I can't look at you.
You are being such a dick right now.
You ask me to be honest all the time and then when I'm honest If that's really how you feel then maybe we shouldn't be together.
What? Come on.
I didn't You know, that's not what I Maybe we just shouldn't be in a relationship then.
[GUS GROWLS.]
You're really gonna do this right now while we're back at my parents' house? You're gonna fucking start talking about breaking up? You brought it up with your shitty joke.
I didn't bring up breaking up.
You brought that up.
No.
But how you really feel about me is grounds for breaking up.
Okay, come on.
Let's just We're getting upset.
I think there's a lot of pressure with families and stuff.
- Let's just relax, okay? - No, I'm not relaxing.
Get out! I don't want to sleep in the same bed as you.
I'll fucking scream if you don't get out.
Randy, I think we should break up.
[SNORING.]
[SIGHS.]
- Fuck! - What the fuck? - What the fuck? - What? I didn't know you were here.
I'm sorry, man.
- Yeah, I got in, like, 30 minutes ago.
- Jesus.
Did you just fart? - Yeah, you startled me.
I just farted.
- Ugh.
- I'm sorry.
Good to see you.
I'm just - See you.
You don't have to do that.
It's not that bad.
I'm not calling for a reason, dear And the reason is because There is no reason I should call you Because your love, my darling I have lost You and I used To love each other, dear Do you remember way back then? But now, somehow Our love has lost its power We'll never get it back again [SIGHS.]
I'm not completely sure I'm sorry, darling When I get angry, then I'm glad I'm happy that it's finally over But when I'm not mad, then I'm sad I've noticed that you Never call me darling, darling I understand the reason why There is no reason You should call me darling, darling
