Felicity s04e03 Episode Script
Your Money or Your Wife
Previously on Felicity.
You slept with Noel.
You want to be with Ben, but you also want to be with Noel.
I'm just kind of confused right now, I guess.
Maybe we need to spend some time apart.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
I need to know if you feel the same way.
There's not going to be a wedding today.
What if you and I were each other's servants for life? I'd like to welcome you to the wedding of two very close friends.
No? Okay, well, let's not go over the limit.
What if we go down a quarter karat? What do I get? No, you must have the wrong credit card number.
I'm not close to my limit.
What about the ring? Let's go down another half karat.
What do I get then? Oh.
You're kidding me.
- Hey.
How'd it go with your parents? - Great.
They were thrilled.
- Really.
- No.
We got married without them.
They want to know who I'm married to and your family.
If they knew my family, they wouldn't want to know my family.
They want a dinner.
- Since when do you care what they want? - What? I'm all about family.
- You are? - I don't know.
I mean, God forbid someday we have kids.
I want them to have a relationship with their grandparents.
- Are you pregnant? - No.
We are all having dinner tomorrow night at 7:30.
That's too soon.
Okay? Tomorrow night? You're my husband.
They want to make sure you're responsible.
- Dinner tomorrow night.
7:30.
- I You Hey.
- I think this is crazy.
- I know.
- I don't want to be broken up.
- I don't, either.
Why don't we forget everything and start the year over? That would be really good.
* Can you become * * Can you become * * A new version of you * * New wallpaper * * New shoe leather * * A new way home * * I don't remember * * New version of you * * I need a new version of me * * New version of you * * I need a new version of me * If you cheated on Samuel, could you stay with him if it was just, like, one time, an isolated thing? If it was a mistake, but you had gotten away with it.
Why are we talking about this? Is there something you are knowing that I should be knowing? I cheated on Ben.
With Noel.
He doesn't know.
Wow.
I Is That's why things have been so crazy with you two.
Javier, no one knows.
Please, you cannot tell anyone.
I would never.
I know that's why you chose me.
My lips are like two glue sticks.
So what are you gonna do? I don't know.
I'm just trying to get it out of my head.
I want things to go back to the way they were before.
Do you remember anything about this? Ketone synthesis? Not really.
Elena's good with o-chem if you want me to talk to her for you.
No, it's okay.
I'll figure it out.
- You think it's stupid of me, trying to do this stuff? - No.
I think you're gonna be great.
- I really do.
- Okay.
I gotta go.
Hey, Say Anything's playing all week at the student union.
Do you wanna go? Yeah, sure.
If I finish my work, yeah.
- That'll be great.
- Yeah.
The hardest part is kissing him.
It's like I can't get myself to stop thinking.
You poor thing.
It's like you're stuck in a triangle or a rhomboid near the coast of Florida and some of the Caribbean islands.
- I'm glad you told me.
- Yeah, so am I.
I'm sorry, but I'm more or less 100% certain we haven't gotten any checks from you since July.
Okay, you know what? Clearly this is an oversight.
I'll speak with my business manager.
- That would be wonderful.
- Okay.
- Oh, thanks for the soda.
- Okay.
Oh, Sharon, Meghan.
Meghan, Sharon.
- Sharon's with the co-op board.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
See you later.
Bye.
So.
Dinner's on for 7:30.
Your parents can't wait to come.
Wait a minute.
You called my parents? Yeah.
If I didn't, who would? You? No.
- I don't want to do this.
- You have no choice.
- I'm wearing the pants in the family.
- My father is going to embarrass me.
- Everyone's father embarrasses them.
- You don't understand.
He will embarrass us.
He will embarrass you.
You have no idea what you're getting into.
I'm not scared.
I- I don't understand.
This check is for $ 75.
Tuition is 8,000.
You applied late.
The government allocates a fixed amount of funds for aid.
It's then distributed based on an applicant's need and his or her timing.
So the government's run out of money? You'll have a better shot at spring semester.
But what am I gonna do for this semester? Not that you care, but I got into a fight with my dad and told him I would do this on my own.
I'm just trying to go to school.
- Maybe this'll help.
- Please.
Anything would help.
"Guide to Scholarships"? - Thank you.
- I'm sorry.
That book's $35.
Ooh.
Look a this one.
"Sunrise Surprise Beauty Pageant.
" First prize: $10,000.
- I'm not gonna do a beauty pageant.
- You should.
- You and your silky-smooth skin are "shoe-ons.
" - Look at this one.
Liz Weinstein Scholarship for Young Women in Art.
That could solve all my problems.
Well, not all your problems.
My academic problems.
Okay.
Well, you get Liz Weinstein, and I'll get Don Quixote, and we'll be like peas in a blanket.
Oh, yeah.
When are your auditions? Oh, tomorrow.
I'm terrified.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
It's why I came to this country.
To be an actor.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I only went on one audition.
For Grease.
I blew it so bad.
I was three notes in, and then, "Next!" It was horrible.
I never did it again until now.
- You're gonna do great.
- So are you.
And if Liz Weinstein is not available, I think I'm looking at a beauty queen! That's silly.
Hi.
Has anybody asked for me today? No.
Why? I'm meeting Natalie's lawyer.
He said he had news for me.
- Natalie's lawyer? - Yeah.
I don't know.
What? Something wrong, Javier? My lips are like glue sticks.
Okay.
Um I think this could be the guy.
Oh, my God.
That was so awkward.
Wasn't that awkward? Yes, it was a little awkward.
He was weird.
All right.
Here's the deal.
To me, organic chemistry is lab work.
The bulk of your grade will hinge on your performance in here.
Last year nearly 40% of my students either failed or dropped.
Production of Phena I think I just became part of that 40%.
What is this? - That's Phenacyclene.
- I know what it says.
What is it? I don't know.
- I'm Trevor.
- Ben.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
We need lab partners.
I can't see spending time with - most of these people.
What do you think? - Yeah, sure.
Cool.
If 40% fail, you know what that means? This teacher must suck.
Spectroscopic studies of the molecular complexes of Phenacyclene.
$50,000? All I did was stay married for a year.
- I didn't earn this.
- You didn't have to.
Do you know where Natalie is? Maybe I can call her.
I have no idea.
But I can tell you, she had no problem taking the money.
Here's the thing.
Um I have this cousin, Jerry, and a few years ago, he got hit by a cab on Commonwealth Avenue, and now all he does is he sits at home and counts the settlement checks.
It's pathetic.
He's the family joke.
I don't want to be the next Cousin Jerry.
Then the funds revert back to the executor of the state, my firm, hopefully into the bonus pool.
Well, I I mean, if it's between me and me and the law firm, then - I could use a new apartment.
- Wonderful, Mr.
Crane.
If you'd just sign the receipt, our business will be concluded.
Maybe I could get a two-bedroom.
Separate place for an office? I'm so nervous.
I don't remember ever being this nervous.
Could you relax? You're freaking me out.
I think it's my dad.
It's like a reflex.
He says all these inappropriate things.
He tries so hard to impress, and it drives me nuts.
I get into a fight with him.
If you can't control yourself, I will.
Okay? We'll think of a code or something.
Like, um lf Okay.
If I say "Rice Krispies," you know to clam it.
- Rice Krispies? - Yes.
Then clam it.
- Okay.
- Good.
Hi.
I'm Meghan.
Manny Blumberg.
Nice to meet you.
Oh Isn't she gorgeous? She's gorgeous! You know, when we heard about the wedding that we weren't invited to our own son's wedding it was a shock.
We were in shock.
But now, meeting you, I can tell it was meant to be.
It was meant to be! Yes, she's lovely.
You're gorgeous.
- Wow.
- I love your earrings.
- Thanks.
- She's gorgeous.
How's my baby? Good.
- Oh, this is - He's wearing a suit.
- Why is he dressed up? - Rice Krispies.
Let's go.
Everything is wonderful, Meghan.
- I hope the dinner's as good as these hors d'oeuvres.
- I'm sure it will be.
We're looking forward to meeting your parents.
- I'm glad we did this.
- Me, too.
This has been fun.
We should get going if we're gonna make the train.
Come on.
I'll get your coat.
Here you go.
Hey.
It's a nice stereo, Sean.
Is that a Sony? Uh, no, Dad.
It's Audiovox.
That's good.
How much did you pay for it? He got the guy down to 400.
- Oh.
Good deal.
- No, that's good.
My guy could have gotten it for 300.
Yeah.
We should go.
Why'd you have to wear a suit? What? I like it.
I know you like it, Dad.
But it's a casual dinner.
You don't have to wear a suit.
- He's trying way too hard.
- Rice Krispies.
- Trying too hard for what? - To impress, Dad.
People see through it.
They're still gonna know you're from Flushing.
- I embarrass you? - No, it's just the Rotundis are a little different.
- They wouldn't ask how much something costs.
- What is this? Whoa.
I get this now.
So, they don't embarrass you.
Is that what it is? - Helen, let's go.
- Don't go.
He didn't mean it.
Meghan, you're very sweet, and we had a good time, but I know my son, and he meant it.
Helen, let's go.
Please.
Meghan, I'm sorry.
We'll reschedule it.
I'm so sorry.
Helen, let's go, now! I'll call you, okay? Are you satisfied? Now you call my parents and explain.
Happily.
This is good.
You're gonna get that scholarship.
- Do you think so? - Yeah.
Definitely.
By the way, I I called Tracy.
His roommate answered the phone, and I hung up.
I don't even know why I'm calling him.
I hate the idea that I'm never gonna see him again.
I can't even get rid of this sweatshirt of his.
You gotta give him some time.
It just happened, you know? You're gonna see him again.
You will.
I hope so.
Losing a fiancé is hard.
Not to mention a lab partner.
Maybe Ben and I will team up.
He asked me to help him with Hodges's class.
I know.
That was sort of my idea.
I'm sorry.
I know you're busy.
It's no problem.
I don't know what I can do.
It's a tough class.
I know, but Ben really wants this.
Remember Gary Fenton? He wanted it, too.
He burned out in six weeks.
I don't want to see that happen to Ben.
He didn't know what alkane was.
- I know.
- That is as basic as it gets.
- You don't think he can do it? - I don't think he's the most disciplined guy.
Premed is a full-time job.
I know.
I refuse to believe Ben is a six-weeker.
I feel like, if he wants to, he'll make a great doctor.
This belongs in your portfolio.
This reminds me of sophomore year.
Hey, you guys.
Sorry to interrupt.
I got the equation, so I can help.
- No, I'm good.
- I told you you'd get those.
I'm going to the library.
I'll see you.
Very cool.
Fathers and Sons.
What? What is this? It's what it says.
Do you think your picture's in this book? - No, I don't think so.
- Right.
With the way you're acting, it never will be.
You went and wasted 25 bucks to make a stupid point? It's not stupid.
I'm telling you, as your wife, you gotta talk to your dad.
- I'm trying to enjoy - Two years ago, I got sick of going home as Meggy.
So I went as myself.
At first it sucked, but it got better.
- My parents and I get along.
- Congratulations.
Clothes are the least of my father's problems.
Except for that suit.
- And the fact that his son's an ass.
- Wow! Now I know why I married you.
My self-esteem's skyrocketing.
I don't love doing it.
I talk to my dad, though.
We don't always get along, but we talk.
We have a relationship.
Can you say the same? Give me a bite.
I don't understand.
It was listed in this book.
Okay.
Well, thanks anyway.
- Liz Weinstein's dead.
- Oh, no.
What happened to her? No, her scholarship doesn't exist anymore.
Hey.
I saw Noel again.
And I pretended I didn't know so well.
You would have been really proud.
- Is it still really awkward? - Yeah.
I haven't been to the loft in days.
Oh.
Well, it's okay.
He's moving anyway.
- What? - Yeah.
That's why he came in.
He's moving.
He needed a reference for his new apartment.
I'm sorry to bother you again, but I'm getting a lot of pressure from the co-op board.
Hey, Sean.
I wanted to tell you that I found a new place.
It's incredible.
I don't want to jinx it yet.
Wait.
You're moving? If the paperwork goes through, which I'm sure it will.
But I wanted to give you my 30 days notice.
Did you get a job or something? Actually, it's kind of embarrassing.
The Natalie inheritance came through.
Wow.
Congratulations.
That's great.
Oh.
Yeah, thanks.
Not that I deserve it, but Yeah.
Oh.
The check.
- Can I mail that in? - No.
- That's why I'm here in person.
- Okay, Sharon I'm going to be honest.
I'm in the middle of a bind.
Can you give me a couple days to get my finances in order? - I can hold them off for two more days.
- That's great.
But they are gonna hire a lawyer if you don't come through.
Do you know anybody who's looking for a sublet? I'm sorry.
- Dude, it's still brown.
- Yeah, I know.
- So, try more of this? - No, we tried that like six times.
- Okay.
Then what are we missing? - Brains? Face it, game over.
We've been at this six hours.
We're nowhere close to getting a What? "A black crystalline compound.
" Look, I respect this whole "gotta win" thing.
I do.
But, man, tonight is Molson Night at the Stillwater.
Two for a buck.
Come on.
Let's take a break.
Let's go throw a few back and try later.
Huh? - Come on.
- I don't know.
A few beers ain't keeping us out of med school.
I can't.
I'm gonna stay and try to finish this.
You go ahead.
- Just go.
- All right.
Okay.
- Later.
- Okay.
Dad's really pissed.
Nice work.
- She should buy a vowel.
- A "T.
" - Two T's.
- All right.
- What you got in the boxes? - Watch that arrow pointing at $600.
- You're sitting on it.
- "L.
" - There's no "L.
" Lance, your turn.
- A chair? The Screwless Chair.
- What do you mean? - It's this idea I had.
It's a chair you assemble, but you don't use screws.
- Screwless Chair? - Yeah.
Unfortunately, it didn't hit.
Come on.
It's gonna hit big.
It's all about marketing.
Oh, please.
So Meghan rescheduled the dinner.
It's now brunch, tomorrow, around 11:00.
- You're not afraid I'm gonna embarrass you? - You're coming? - Your mother would like to be there.
- Of course.
I have plans.
So don't worry about me.
Hi.
Hi.
My name is Javier Quintata, and I hope you will consider me for the role of Don Quixote.
However, I may be persuaded to take the role of Sancho Panza.
Can you lose the accent, please? * To dream the impossible dream * Great.
Thanks.
That was lovely.
Thanks for coming in.
Next.
Thank you.
I missed the intro.
Hey, excuse me.
Who are you? Canarsie Collections.
We're here for the furniture.
How did you guys get in? What's going on? Landlord let us in.
You're past due.
Wait a second.
You're taking everything that I own.
You got bigger problems.
Super says they're getting ready to evict you.
What? Yeah.
- What's going on? - Oh I don't know.
Sean left a note saying that the floors are being redone.
Do you think he'll be back soon? I have a question for him.
Mm-mm.
I don't know.
I heard you're moving.
Yeah.
Yeah, I found a place in Chelsea.
I figured I'd just get out of here.
So you want me to leave a message or Just tell him I stopped by.
I just have a financial question for him.
- For Sean? You must be pretty desperate.
- Yeah, I know.
I know.
Well, what's the problem? You know how I'm paying for my tuition now.
I went by the bank to get a loan, and they said I didn't have enough collateral.
So I was thinking I always get those preapproved credit card applications in the mail, and I was just thinking maybe I could charge my tuition.
No.
- Don't do that.
- Why not? Because those cards charge you Don't charge anything on those cards.
- Yeah.
- You know, if If you need money, maybe I could help you.
How? That thing with Natalie, the inheritance, it came through.
That's why I was meeting her lawyer.
Yeah, it's $50,000.
And I don't need it or want it.
Um And I can just get a smaller apartment.
Noel - I can't take money from you.
- No.
It'd be like a loan.
Okay? You can pay me back whenever.
With no interest.
No, I have to do this on my own.
Sort of the point.
But seriously, Noel, thank you.
You're You're you.
You're amazing.
Don't tell me you were here all night.
- Yeah.
Did you figure it out? - Yeah, I think so.
- That looks black to me.
Nice work.
Thank you.
All right, first lab.
Let's see how you did.
Anyway, Molson Night Next time, you're not missing it.
Hey, we got it.
Right here.
No.
Afraid not.
He was here all night.
It's black.
Yes, and gooey.
Phenacyclene should be shiny and crystalline.
Maybe sleep would have helped avoid this common error.
- What was the error? - Telling you how to do it won't help.
If you're gonna complete the next lab, you have to figure this out on your own.
If you don't, there won't be a next lab.
You were right.
This guy sucks.
If you have a problem, no one's forcing you to stay.
- Flavored pen caps? - Right.
Right.
Okay.
Seriously think about this.
People all day long doing this.
Right? Waiting for the bus, doing whatever.
Studying.
Okay? What if this was a treat? This is about the Natalie money, isn't it? Yes, but let me explain to you what I need.
It's just a simple investment plan.
- I'm just looking for seed money.
- Yeah.
- It just seems risky for me.
- Try this and tell me Go ahead.
It's - It's safe? - Yeah.
Just chew it.
You chewing it? Yeah.
What is it? It's blackberry.
It's good, right? I don't need an answer now.
Think about it.
- Yeah.
- Try the cherry.
- Is the cherry better? - Yeah.
Thank you.
- I'll try it.
- Thank you.
- I'm sure it wasn't that bad.
- It was worse.
The dream is definitely dead.
Well, I'm sorry.
I know the feeling.
- Did you and Benjamin break up? - No, I didn't get the loan.
Oh.
For a second there, I got so scared.
This omelette will make you feel better.
Thanks.
So, basically, my options are call my dad and grovel, or drop out.
Where's that book? I looked through the whole thing.
There's nothing left.
I'm not gonna enter a beauty pageant.
- Do you know how ridiculous that is? - Okay, that's misperception.
It's not all beefcake.
- There's an academic portion.
- There is not.
Yes, there is.
All you have to do is send in a recent photo and application, due in one week.
It says that pageants are the number one source of scholarship money for young women.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Why you being so judgmental, huh? Look.
Do me a favor.
Just read this.
It's $10,000.
Come on.
Hi, Parker.
Thanks.
- Good luck.
- You, too.
It's nice to have you here.
Hi, Ma.
- Meg! - There they are.
- Dad.
You look good.
- Well, thanks.
You, too.
You don't compliment your mother? - You look stunning.
- There we go.
That's my boy.
Can I have one of those? Thanks.
Hey, is Felicity around? What's the matter? I got a letter from Tracy.
He's gone.
Says he needs to forget about me for a while.
So he's taking a semester off.
He went on another one of his church missions in Zambia.
Meanwhile, I was I was hoping that we could figure this out and fix it.
How stupid am I? You're not stupid.
Don't say that.
I just feel I feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life.
What are you talking about? You're supposed to marry the guy even though it's a mistake? You can't do that.
- But now I've lost him.
- Yeah, maybe.
And that's hard.
But marrying somebody for the wrong reasons, that's even worse.
That's crazy.
So, you think I did the right thing? Yeah, I do.
I do.
Okay.
Thanks.
I hope so.
Yeah, not bad for a six-weeker.
Oh, God.
That's not what I meant.
I'm sorry.
I don't know if I'm gonna make it, either.
Don't worry about it.
- Oh, God.
- It's okay.
- Tell Felicity I dropped by.
- Yeah, sure.
I did not know you were that Rotundi.
Rotundi elevators.
I ride 'em all the time.
Never got stuck once.
Never.
- You got quite a place, Walter.
- Adorable.
You must be in the market.
What kind of return do you get? Fifteen, twenty percent? What about the Yanks? See the game last night? - Yeah, it was good.
Give me a ballpark.
- I am not sure.
- I'd have to check on that.
- I could get you 30%.
Oh, that's - I don't know what to say.
- Don't talk business.
You know how every time you put together a chair, you get annoying screws left over? I figured out a way to solve that problem.
I invented a screwless chair.
- Chair? - That's it.
What about dessert, Dad? Those Swedish put-it-together-yourself deals? - Screw those.
- Manny! - No pun intended.
- We're having brunch.
That's the sales pitch.
"Screw other chairs.
" - What do you think? - That's interesting.
Do you have a prospectus, or a business plan? As a matter of fact, I do.
Got it in my coat.
Manny, not now.
We're having brunch.
- Dad.
- Sean.
- All I need is seed money.
- Dad, can I talk to you? - Sure.
- Dad.
- What? It's bad enough that you used to ask my friends' parents for money.
- These are my in-laws.
- I'm offering him an opportunity.
To lose money.
He doesn't want to invest.
He's too classy to tell you what he really thinks.
Don't do it.
You're embarrassing yourself.
What? You think I'm a loser? When is the last time one of your ideas worked? Don't do this.
You're embarrassing Excuse me.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I was I was thinking about what I had said earlier.
Yeah Yeah, me, too.
Look.
Sean, I'm sorry, but the whole flavored pen cap thing, it's not for me.
No, hey, that's okay.
Even though I do think flavored pen caps are gonna be huge, I The truth is, that's not the reason why I you know, came to you.
I figured something was up.
There was an air of desperation in your pitch.
I'm really I'm I'm in trouble with my finances, and you know, I thought that maybe that was a way for me to get out of the hole, but it was I never should have tried to take advantage of you.
Oh, it's okay.
Just because I'm not interested in investing doesn't mean that I'm not interested in helping.
No.
I can't just take money.
I'm not giving it to you.
It's a loan.
I expect you to pay it back.
- But I need a lot.
- That's all right.
You'd be doing me a favor.
This is blood money, and I want no part of it.
Good.
I'm glad I could help.
- Thanks for doing this.
- No problem.
You can't let one stupid lab turn you off to the whole thing.
Besides, I would have done anything to get my mind off of Tracy.
Why would anyone want to get married at 20? Because I love the guy.
This color is changing.
I'm gonna pour it out.
There will be others, 'cause look at you.
You're You're Damn.
Take it easy, man.
Okay.
Now, is that it? - That is it.
- That's it.
Oh, my God.
That is cause for celebration.
All right.
Mug night at Vayzak's.
What the hell is mug night at Vayzak's? It's on Seventh and B.
Bring your own mug, free refills all night.
I can't.
I gotta go find Felicity.
Of course.
Come on.
If anyone needs a mug night, it's you.
I don't have a mug.
You're right.
You're right.
- Now you do.
- What? Come on.
What do you say? - Okay, one drink.
- That's a deal.
Okay, have fun with Felicity.
- Am I really supposed to take this? - Yes.
Let's go.
- Seventy-three.
- Yeah.
We're doing okay.
Five twenty.
Well, let's see.
- We're gonna make it this month.
- Yeah, sure.
Hey.
Look, Dad, about brunch I can't wait to hear this.
Joey? Please.
Just give us a second.
- If you need me, I'll be in my room.
- Thanks.
I get it.
I embarrassed you.
No, it's not that.
Okay? It's It wasn't about you.
It was about me.
It was, and I am not ashamed of you.
I wanted them to accept me.
I wanted them to think that I was somebody.
Like Mr.
Rotundi? Yeah.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be a successful guy.
You have nothing to worry about.
You already are somebody.
Yeah.
I'm 27 years old, Dad.
I've never been to college, I don't have a job, and all my friends are younger than me.
Now I got a wife to support.
I'm a loser.
Are you crazy? Will you take a look at how successful you are? You got that great apartment.
You always come up with great ideas.
Hey.
Remember? - Are those Lact-O's? - Yeah, and not a week goes by we don't have 'em for breakfast.
I'm proud of you, Sean.
So So, you working on anything new? Uh Yeah.
I actually I got these, these pen caps.
- What? Flavored? - Yeah.
- I had the same idea.
- What? - People are always - Chewing on pens.
Exactly.
This could be huge.
Wait a minute.
It's my idea.
Okay? Hey, Dad, it's Felicity.
Could you call me back, please? - I want to talk to you about something.
- I did it! - The dream is alive! I got it! - Don Quixote? No, the chorus.
Javier, congratulations.
Oh, thank you.
To dream the impossible dream! Okay.
Hurry up.
Finish your call so I can tell you about it.
Sorry, Dad.
Um You know what? Never mind.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
Bye.
- What are you doing? - Looking for a picture for this scholarship application.
What kind of scholarship needs a picture? - I'll tell you if it works out.
- Okay.
Hey, do you want to go see that movie? Yeah, I'd love to.
* I'm shaken to the core * * I've picked this scab once more * * You want me to know * * How happy you've grown to be * * I'm not above going down * * The roller coaster, the go-round * * Anything but how * * Happy you've grown to be * * Happy without me * * Without me, without me * * Without me * * How happy without me * * Without me, without me * * How happy - How'd it go with your parents? - It was great.
- Really? - Oh, yeah.
I had breakfast with my dad who told me how great I am, how much he loves me, and then he threatened to disown me.
- What? - Yeah.
It was a real lovefest.
Juice? No.
Thanks.
What do you mean he threatened to disown you? I I don't know.
I guess that if I don't annul my marriage to Sean, I'm cut off.
Are you serious? Yeah.
- Don't tell Sean.
- No, no, I won't.
I know I owe you my life, but right now I need my wife.
Yeah, yeah.
She's all yours.
Come here.
I know that traditionally this is supposed to come before the proposal, and certainly before the wedding, but What are you doing? - What is this? - Just open it.
It's cubic zirconia.
I promise that when I can afford the real thing, I'm gonna get it for you.
- You don't like it.
Okay.
- No, no, Sean.
- Hey - I love it.
Yeah?
You slept with Noel.
You want to be with Ben, but you also want to be with Noel.
I'm just kind of confused right now, I guess.
Maybe we need to spend some time apart.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
I need to know if you feel the same way.
There's not going to be a wedding today.
What if you and I were each other's servants for life? I'd like to welcome you to the wedding of two very close friends.
No? Okay, well, let's not go over the limit.
What if we go down a quarter karat? What do I get? No, you must have the wrong credit card number.
I'm not close to my limit.
What about the ring? Let's go down another half karat.
What do I get then? Oh.
You're kidding me.
- Hey.
How'd it go with your parents? - Great.
They were thrilled.
- Really.
- No.
We got married without them.
They want to know who I'm married to and your family.
If they knew my family, they wouldn't want to know my family.
They want a dinner.
- Since when do you care what they want? - What? I'm all about family.
- You are? - I don't know.
I mean, God forbid someday we have kids.
I want them to have a relationship with their grandparents.
- Are you pregnant? - No.
We are all having dinner tomorrow night at 7:30.
That's too soon.
Okay? Tomorrow night? You're my husband.
They want to make sure you're responsible.
- Dinner tomorrow night.
7:30.
- I You Hey.
- I think this is crazy.
- I know.
- I don't want to be broken up.
- I don't, either.
Why don't we forget everything and start the year over? That would be really good.
* Can you become * * Can you become * * A new version of you * * New wallpaper * * New shoe leather * * A new way home * * I don't remember * * New version of you * * I need a new version of me * * New version of you * * I need a new version of me * If you cheated on Samuel, could you stay with him if it was just, like, one time, an isolated thing? If it was a mistake, but you had gotten away with it.
Why are we talking about this? Is there something you are knowing that I should be knowing? I cheated on Ben.
With Noel.
He doesn't know.
Wow.
I Is That's why things have been so crazy with you two.
Javier, no one knows.
Please, you cannot tell anyone.
I would never.
I know that's why you chose me.
My lips are like two glue sticks.
So what are you gonna do? I don't know.
I'm just trying to get it out of my head.
I want things to go back to the way they were before.
Do you remember anything about this? Ketone synthesis? Not really.
Elena's good with o-chem if you want me to talk to her for you.
No, it's okay.
I'll figure it out.
- You think it's stupid of me, trying to do this stuff? - No.
I think you're gonna be great.
- I really do.
- Okay.
I gotta go.
Hey, Say Anything's playing all week at the student union.
Do you wanna go? Yeah, sure.
If I finish my work, yeah.
- That'll be great.
- Yeah.
The hardest part is kissing him.
It's like I can't get myself to stop thinking.
You poor thing.
It's like you're stuck in a triangle or a rhomboid near the coast of Florida and some of the Caribbean islands.
- I'm glad you told me.
- Yeah, so am I.
I'm sorry, but I'm more or less 100% certain we haven't gotten any checks from you since July.
Okay, you know what? Clearly this is an oversight.
I'll speak with my business manager.
- That would be wonderful.
- Okay.
- Oh, thanks for the soda.
- Okay.
Oh, Sharon, Meghan.
Meghan, Sharon.
- Sharon's with the co-op board.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
See you later.
Bye.
So.
Dinner's on for 7:30.
Your parents can't wait to come.
Wait a minute.
You called my parents? Yeah.
If I didn't, who would? You? No.
- I don't want to do this.
- You have no choice.
- I'm wearing the pants in the family.
- My father is going to embarrass me.
- Everyone's father embarrasses them.
- You don't understand.
He will embarrass us.
He will embarrass you.
You have no idea what you're getting into.
I'm not scared.
I- I don't understand.
This check is for $ 75.
Tuition is 8,000.
You applied late.
The government allocates a fixed amount of funds for aid.
It's then distributed based on an applicant's need and his or her timing.
So the government's run out of money? You'll have a better shot at spring semester.
But what am I gonna do for this semester? Not that you care, but I got into a fight with my dad and told him I would do this on my own.
I'm just trying to go to school.
- Maybe this'll help.
- Please.
Anything would help.
"Guide to Scholarships"? - Thank you.
- I'm sorry.
That book's $35.
Ooh.
Look a this one.
"Sunrise Surprise Beauty Pageant.
" First prize: $10,000.
- I'm not gonna do a beauty pageant.
- You should.
- You and your silky-smooth skin are "shoe-ons.
" - Look at this one.
Liz Weinstein Scholarship for Young Women in Art.
That could solve all my problems.
Well, not all your problems.
My academic problems.
Okay.
Well, you get Liz Weinstein, and I'll get Don Quixote, and we'll be like peas in a blanket.
Oh, yeah.
When are your auditions? Oh, tomorrow.
I'm terrified.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
It's why I came to this country.
To be an actor.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I only went on one audition.
For Grease.
I blew it so bad.
I was three notes in, and then, "Next!" It was horrible.
I never did it again until now.
- You're gonna do great.
- So are you.
And if Liz Weinstein is not available, I think I'm looking at a beauty queen! That's silly.
Hi.
Has anybody asked for me today? No.
Why? I'm meeting Natalie's lawyer.
He said he had news for me.
- Natalie's lawyer? - Yeah.
I don't know.
What? Something wrong, Javier? My lips are like glue sticks.
Okay.
Um I think this could be the guy.
Oh, my God.
That was so awkward.
Wasn't that awkward? Yes, it was a little awkward.
He was weird.
All right.
Here's the deal.
To me, organic chemistry is lab work.
The bulk of your grade will hinge on your performance in here.
Last year nearly 40% of my students either failed or dropped.
Production of Phena I think I just became part of that 40%.
What is this? - That's Phenacyclene.
- I know what it says.
What is it? I don't know.
- I'm Trevor.
- Ben.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
We need lab partners.
I can't see spending time with - most of these people.
What do you think? - Yeah, sure.
Cool.
If 40% fail, you know what that means? This teacher must suck.
Spectroscopic studies of the molecular complexes of Phenacyclene.
$50,000? All I did was stay married for a year.
- I didn't earn this.
- You didn't have to.
Do you know where Natalie is? Maybe I can call her.
I have no idea.
But I can tell you, she had no problem taking the money.
Here's the thing.
Um I have this cousin, Jerry, and a few years ago, he got hit by a cab on Commonwealth Avenue, and now all he does is he sits at home and counts the settlement checks.
It's pathetic.
He's the family joke.
I don't want to be the next Cousin Jerry.
Then the funds revert back to the executor of the state, my firm, hopefully into the bonus pool.
Well, I I mean, if it's between me and me and the law firm, then - I could use a new apartment.
- Wonderful, Mr.
Crane.
If you'd just sign the receipt, our business will be concluded.
Maybe I could get a two-bedroom.
Separate place for an office? I'm so nervous.
I don't remember ever being this nervous.
Could you relax? You're freaking me out.
I think it's my dad.
It's like a reflex.
He says all these inappropriate things.
He tries so hard to impress, and it drives me nuts.
I get into a fight with him.
If you can't control yourself, I will.
Okay? We'll think of a code or something.
Like, um lf Okay.
If I say "Rice Krispies," you know to clam it.
- Rice Krispies? - Yes.
Then clam it.
- Okay.
- Good.
Hi.
I'm Meghan.
Manny Blumberg.
Nice to meet you.
Oh Isn't she gorgeous? She's gorgeous! You know, when we heard about the wedding that we weren't invited to our own son's wedding it was a shock.
We were in shock.
But now, meeting you, I can tell it was meant to be.
It was meant to be! Yes, she's lovely.
You're gorgeous.
- Wow.
- I love your earrings.
- Thanks.
- She's gorgeous.
How's my baby? Good.
- Oh, this is - He's wearing a suit.
- Why is he dressed up? - Rice Krispies.
Let's go.
Everything is wonderful, Meghan.
- I hope the dinner's as good as these hors d'oeuvres.
- I'm sure it will be.
We're looking forward to meeting your parents.
- I'm glad we did this.
- Me, too.
This has been fun.
We should get going if we're gonna make the train.
Come on.
I'll get your coat.
Here you go.
Hey.
It's a nice stereo, Sean.
Is that a Sony? Uh, no, Dad.
It's Audiovox.
That's good.
How much did you pay for it? He got the guy down to 400.
- Oh.
Good deal.
- No, that's good.
My guy could have gotten it for 300.
Yeah.
We should go.
Why'd you have to wear a suit? What? I like it.
I know you like it, Dad.
But it's a casual dinner.
You don't have to wear a suit.
- He's trying way too hard.
- Rice Krispies.
- Trying too hard for what? - To impress, Dad.
People see through it.
They're still gonna know you're from Flushing.
- I embarrass you? - No, it's just the Rotundis are a little different.
- They wouldn't ask how much something costs.
- What is this? Whoa.
I get this now.
So, they don't embarrass you.
Is that what it is? - Helen, let's go.
- Don't go.
He didn't mean it.
Meghan, you're very sweet, and we had a good time, but I know my son, and he meant it.
Helen, let's go.
Please.
Meghan, I'm sorry.
We'll reschedule it.
I'm so sorry.
Helen, let's go, now! I'll call you, okay? Are you satisfied? Now you call my parents and explain.
Happily.
This is good.
You're gonna get that scholarship.
- Do you think so? - Yeah.
Definitely.
By the way, I I called Tracy.
His roommate answered the phone, and I hung up.
I don't even know why I'm calling him.
I hate the idea that I'm never gonna see him again.
I can't even get rid of this sweatshirt of his.
You gotta give him some time.
It just happened, you know? You're gonna see him again.
You will.
I hope so.
Losing a fiancé is hard.
Not to mention a lab partner.
Maybe Ben and I will team up.
He asked me to help him with Hodges's class.
I know.
That was sort of my idea.
I'm sorry.
I know you're busy.
It's no problem.
I don't know what I can do.
It's a tough class.
I know, but Ben really wants this.
Remember Gary Fenton? He wanted it, too.
He burned out in six weeks.
I don't want to see that happen to Ben.
He didn't know what alkane was.
- I know.
- That is as basic as it gets.
- You don't think he can do it? - I don't think he's the most disciplined guy.
Premed is a full-time job.
I know.
I refuse to believe Ben is a six-weeker.
I feel like, if he wants to, he'll make a great doctor.
This belongs in your portfolio.
This reminds me of sophomore year.
Hey, you guys.
Sorry to interrupt.
I got the equation, so I can help.
- No, I'm good.
- I told you you'd get those.
I'm going to the library.
I'll see you.
Very cool.
Fathers and Sons.
What? What is this? It's what it says.
Do you think your picture's in this book? - No, I don't think so.
- Right.
With the way you're acting, it never will be.
You went and wasted 25 bucks to make a stupid point? It's not stupid.
I'm telling you, as your wife, you gotta talk to your dad.
- I'm trying to enjoy - Two years ago, I got sick of going home as Meggy.
So I went as myself.
At first it sucked, but it got better.
- My parents and I get along.
- Congratulations.
Clothes are the least of my father's problems.
Except for that suit.
- And the fact that his son's an ass.
- Wow! Now I know why I married you.
My self-esteem's skyrocketing.
I don't love doing it.
I talk to my dad, though.
We don't always get along, but we talk.
We have a relationship.
Can you say the same? Give me a bite.
I don't understand.
It was listed in this book.
Okay.
Well, thanks anyway.
- Liz Weinstein's dead.
- Oh, no.
What happened to her? No, her scholarship doesn't exist anymore.
Hey.
I saw Noel again.
And I pretended I didn't know so well.
You would have been really proud.
- Is it still really awkward? - Yeah.
I haven't been to the loft in days.
Oh.
Well, it's okay.
He's moving anyway.
- What? - Yeah.
That's why he came in.
He's moving.
He needed a reference for his new apartment.
I'm sorry to bother you again, but I'm getting a lot of pressure from the co-op board.
Hey, Sean.
I wanted to tell you that I found a new place.
It's incredible.
I don't want to jinx it yet.
Wait.
You're moving? If the paperwork goes through, which I'm sure it will.
But I wanted to give you my 30 days notice.
Did you get a job or something? Actually, it's kind of embarrassing.
The Natalie inheritance came through.
Wow.
Congratulations.
That's great.
Oh.
Yeah, thanks.
Not that I deserve it, but Yeah.
Oh.
The check.
- Can I mail that in? - No.
- That's why I'm here in person.
- Okay, Sharon I'm going to be honest.
I'm in the middle of a bind.
Can you give me a couple days to get my finances in order? - I can hold them off for two more days.
- That's great.
But they are gonna hire a lawyer if you don't come through.
Do you know anybody who's looking for a sublet? I'm sorry.
- Dude, it's still brown.
- Yeah, I know.
- So, try more of this? - No, we tried that like six times.
- Okay.
Then what are we missing? - Brains? Face it, game over.
We've been at this six hours.
We're nowhere close to getting a What? "A black crystalline compound.
" Look, I respect this whole "gotta win" thing.
I do.
But, man, tonight is Molson Night at the Stillwater.
Two for a buck.
Come on.
Let's take a break.
Let's go throw a few back and try later.
Huh? - Come on.
- I don't know.
A few beers ain't keeping us out of med school.
I can't.
I'm gonna stay and try to finish this.
You go ahead.
- Just go.
- All right.
Okay.
- Later.
- Okay.
Dad's really pissed.
Nice work.
- She should buy a vowel.
- A "T.
" - Two T's.
- All right.
- What you got in the boxes? - Watch that arrow pointing at $600.
- You're sitting on it.
- "L.
" - There's no "L.
" Lance, your turn.
- A chair? The Screwless Chair.
- What do you mean? - It's this idea I had.
It's a chair you assemble, but you don't use screws.
- Screwless Chair? - Yeah.
Unfortunately, it didn't hit.
Come on.
It's gonna hit big.
It's all about marketing.
Oh, please.
So Meghan rescheduled the dinner.
It's now brunch, tomorrow, around 11:00.
- You're not afraid I'm gonna embarrass you? - You're coming? - Your mother would like to be there.
- Of course.
I have plans.
So don't worry about me.
Hi.
Hi.
My name is Javier Quintata, and I hope you will consider me for the role of Don Quixote.
However, I may be persuaded to take the role of Sancho Panza.
Can you lose the accent, please? * To dream the impossible dream * Great.
Thanks.
That was lovely.
Thanks for coming in.
Next.
Thank you.
I missed the intro.
Hey, excuse me.
Who are you? Canarsie Collections.
We're here for the furniture.
How did you guys get in? What's going on? Landlord let us in.
You're past due.
Wait a second.
You're taking everything that I own.
You got bigger problems.
Super says they're getting ready to evict you.
What? Yeah.
- What's going on? - Oh I don't know.
Sean left a note saying that the floors are being redone.
Do you think he'll be back soon? I have a question for him.
Mm-mm.
I don't know.
I heard you're moving.
Yeah.
Yeah, I found a place in Chelsea.
I figured I'd just get out of here.
So you want me to leave a message or Just tell him I stopped by.
I just have a financial question for him.
- For Sean? You must be pretty desperate.
- Yeah, I know.
I know.
Well, what's the problem? You know how I'm paying for my tuition now.
I went by the bank to get a loan, and they said I didn't have enough collateral.
So I was thinking I always get those preapproved credit card applications in the mail, and I was just thinking maybe I could charge my tuition.
No.
- Don't do that.
- Why not? Because those cards charge you Don't charge anything on those cards.
- Yeah.
- You know, if If you need money, maybe I could help you.
How? That thing with Natalie, the inheritance, it came through.
That's why I was meeting her lawyer.
Yeah, it's $50,000.
And I don't need it or want it.
Um And I can just get a smaller apartment.
Noel - I can't take money from you.
- No.
It'd be like a loan.
Okay? You can pay me back whenever.
With no interest.
No, I have to do this on my own.
Sort of the point.
But seriously, Noel, thank you.
You're You're you.
You're amazing.
Don't tell me you were here all night.
- Yeah.
Did you figure it out? - Yeah, I think so.
- That looks black to me.
Nice work.
Thank you.
All right, first lab.
Let's see how you did.
Anyway, Molson Night Next time, you're not missing it.
Hey, we got it.
Right here.
No.
Afraid not.
He was here all night.
It's black.
Yes, and gooey.
Phenacyclene should be shiny and crystalline.
Maybe sleep would have helped avoid this common error.
- What was the error? - Telling you how to do it won't help.
If you're gonna complete the next lab, you have to figure this out on your own.
If you don't, there won't be a next lab.
You were right.
This guy sucks.
If you have a problem, no one's forcing you to stay.
- Flavored pen caps? - Right.
Right.
Okay.
Seriously think about this.
People all day long doing this.
Right? Waiting for the bus, doing whatever.
Studying.
Okay? What if this was a treat? This is about the Natalie money, isn't it? Yes, but let me explain to you what I need.
It's just a simple investment plan.
- I'm just looking for seed money.
- Yeah.
- It just seems risky for me.
- Try this and tell me Go ahead.
It's - It's safe? - Yeah.
Just chew it.
You chewing it? Yeah.
What is it? It's blackberry.
It's good, right? I don't need an answer now.
Think about it.
- Yeah.
- Try the cherry.
- Is the cherry better? - Yeah.
Thank you.
- I'll try it.
- Thank you.
- I'm sure it wasn't that bad.
- It was worse.
The dream is definitely dead.
Well, I'm sorry.
I know the feeling.
- Did you and Benjamin break up? - No, I didn't get the loan.
Oh.
For a second there, I got so scared.
This omelette will make you feel better.
Thanks.
So, basically, my options are call my dad and grovel, or drop out.
Where's that book? I looked through the whole thing.
There's nothing left.
I'm not gonna enter a beauty pageant.
- Do you know how ridiculous that is? - Okay, that's misperception.
It's not all beefcake.
- There's an academic portion.
- There is not.
Yes, there is.
All you have to do is send in a recent photo and application, due in one week.
It says that pageants are the number one source of scholarship money for young women.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Why you being so judgmental, huh? Look.
Do me a favor.
Just read this.
It's $10,000.
Come on.
Hi, Parker.
Thanks.
- Good luck.
- You, too.
It's nice to have you here.
Hi, Ma.
- Meg! - There they are.
- Dad.
You look good.
- Well, thanks.
You, too.
You don't compliment your mother? - You look stunning.
- There we go.
That's my boy.
Can I have one of those? Thanks.
Hey, is Felicity around? What's the matter? I got a letter from Tracy.
He's gone.
Says he needs to forget about me for a while.
So he's taking a semester off.
He went on another one of his church missions in Zambia.
Meanwhile, I was I was hoping that we could figure this out and fix it.
How stupid am I? You're not stupid.
Don't say that.
I just feel I feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life.
What are you talking about? You're supposed to marry the guy even though it's a mistake? You can't do that.
- But now I've lost him.
- Yeah, maybe.
And that's hard.
But marrying somebody for the wrong reasons, that's even worse.
That's crazy.
So, you think I did the right thing? Yeah, I do.
I do.
Okay.
Thanks.
I hope so.
Yeah, not bad for a six-weeker.
Oh, God.
That's not what I meant.
I'm sorry.
I don't know if I'm gonna make it, either.
Don't worry about it.
- Oh, God.
- It's okay.
- Tell Felicity I dropped by.
- Yeah, sure.
I did not know you were that Rotundi.
Rotundi elevators.
I ride 'em all the time.
Never got stuck once.
Never.
- You got quite a place, Walter.
- Adorable.
You must be in the market.
What kind of return do you get? Fifteen, twenty percent? What about the Yanks? See the game last night? - Yeah, it was good.
Give me a ballpark.
- I am not sure.
- I'd have to check on that.
- I could get you 30%.
Oh, that's - I don't know what to say.
- Don't talk business.
You know how every time you put together a chair, you get annoying screws left over? I figured out a way to solve that problem.
I invented a screwless chair.
- Chair? - That's it.
What about dessert, Dad? Those Swedish put-it-together-yourself deals? - Screw those.
- Manny! - No pun intended.
- We're having brunch.
That's the sales pitch.
"Screw other chairs.
" - What do you think? - That's interesting.
Do you have a prospectus, or a business plan? As a matter of fact, I do.
Got it in my coat.
Manny, not now.
We're having brunch.
- Dad.
- Sean.
- All I need is seed money.
- Dad, can I talk to you? - Sure.
- Dad.

To lose money.
He doesn't want to invest.
He's too classy to tell you what he really thinks.

I figured something was up.
There was an air of desperation in your pitch.
I'm really I'm I'm in trouble with my finances, and you know, I thought that maybe that was a way for me to get out of the hole, but it was I never should have tried to take advantage of you.
Oh, it's okay.
Just because I'm not interested in investing doesn't mean that I'm not interested in helping.
No.
I can't just take money.
I'm not giving it to you.
It's a loan.
I expect you to pay it back.

- That's all right.
You'd be doing me a favor.
This is blood money, and I want no part of it.
Good.
I'm glad I could help.
- Thanks for doing this.
- No problem.
You can't let one stupid lab turn you off to the whole thing.
