Son of a Critch (2022) s04e06 Episode Script
Happy 1990
1
Yeah, Suzanne, I have a new dress
for our double date tonight!
Ah, dinner and dancing!
Gonna see the New Year in in style!
ADULT MARK (V.O.): New year's Eve 1990.
The dawn of a new decade.
And yet for most things,
it was still same old, same old.
MARY: Oh, yeah! Mike is
over the moon about it!
You should see his face! [GIGGLES]
- Bye, girl.
- [HANGS UP PHONE]
Ah! A New Year's Eve out!
I can't believe I gets
to be all dolled up.
I can't believe I gotta
stay up till midnight.
- Aw.
- Don't you mean after midnight?
Or are you gonna fall asleep as
soon as the countdown finishes?
[SIGHS] Packin' '90s!
POP: Hey, look at this!
Geez!
I found this under my bed!
Good God, give me that!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey, hey!
It's an age-old New Year's tradition!
You know, you fire the
gun off twice at midnight
to drive out the old
year and bring in the new.
That's not safe in this day and age.
It probably wasn't
safe in any day and age!
Oh, God, you are a lot of softies.
Eat your vegetables this,
don't play with guns that.
Well, look, I'm gonna
fire this gun off the porch
like we used to when Mike was little.
POP:The kids loved it!
Everyone loved it!
[GUNSHOT]
[RELOADING]
[BABY STARTS CRYING]
Little Mike!
[GUNSHOT]
[GLASS SHATTERS]
[EXHALES]
MAN: Our window!
You know, maybe I'll let
you fire it this year.
Sorry, Pop, but me and
Fox are going to Ritche's.
They have real fireworks!
Hm. Fine.
I guess it's down to little Mike, then.
Oh, Mike is DJ'ing the dance.
Oh, you mean
I'm gonna be alone on New Year's?
Oh, I could stay home with ya!
You're going!
Oh, well.
Well
Ah, I see how it is, then.
Well, more gun for me.
♪
I can't believe it's gonna
be a whole new decade.
Yeah, the next time this
happens, we'll be 25.
Man, that's old!
ADULT MARK (V.O.): It was going
to be my first New Year's Eve
spent with friends
instead of family.
[PARTY CHATTER]
This champagne is excellent.
I believe it is a 1989.
'89?
That was so last year!
[POSH LAUGHTER]
- MARK: Cheers.
- RITCHE: Cheers.
Time for the countdown.
Find someone to kiss.
Ah
Mon amour.
I'm not going.
You have to come!
No, I don't.
There's gonna be fireworks.
I have to babysit so my
mom and her dumb boyfriend
can go to that dance.
But you can come over.
I mean, once my brother's
asleep, it'll be just us.
And I scored a copy of
Nightmare on Elm Street.
ADULT MARK (V.O.): It was the
first time I had to choose
between plans with my best friend
and plans with my girlfriend.
How was I ever going to choose?
RITCHE: You should go.
Huh? Really?
Yeah.
It's a great movie.
Well, then, I accept.
MANAGER: Hey!
You yakking on the
clock with your friends?
No.
Oh, no, not at all.
Uh, we are actually
in the market for a mug
and simply asking this
lovely young lady's opinion.
So, do you like this one?
Says, "Lordy, lordy, look who's 40."
Or, uh, this one, which says, uh,
"Federal body inspector"
Mm. Get out of my store.
- Yeah.
- MANAGER: Yeah.
Yeah.
You sure you don't mind
me hanging out with Fox?
Dude, you seriously don't
know why she invited you over?
Babysitting is code for wanting s-e-x.
That's sex!
What?! No way! Fox wouldn't do that.
I've seen it in literally every movie
I'm not supposed to watch.
You should buy a Johnny!
A what?!
A rubber?
A French safe?
A party hat?
What
[SIGHS]
[QUIETLY] A condom.
I can't buy a a you-know-what!
Look, I'm Catholic, okay?
Nothing's happening tonight
except an R-rated movie,
and if I'm lucky, some
shoulder snoozing, okay?
You've been her boyfriend for months.
You're gonna let her
down if you chicken out.
Come on
Do you want to be the
worst boyfriend ever?
No? So let's go buy a condom.
ADULT MARK (V.O.): I was
freaked out by safe sex.
Men in my family didn't exactly
have the best safety record.
[METAL CLINKING]
Ah, pssht. Leave it.
Okay.
[UNDER HIS BREATH] Oh my God.
You have nothing to
be embarrassed about.
It's all a normal part of life.
So come with me, then.
No way!
