Cougar Town s05e01 Episode Script

I loved the LA trip too, dad.
Oh, yeah.
Lot of fake boobs.
That's why they call it "Ta-ta land.
" "La-la land"? Well, that doesn't even make sense.
All right.
Okay, I love you, too.
Bye.
Oh, guys.
Dad had such a good time.
Guys? This is A little Can't quite E-Train, help us out here.
What are we feeling right now? It's a complex range of emotions that cannot be expressed by mere words.
I invented a sound to capture it.
Blech! Yeah.
That's perfect.
Oh, grow up.
A young couple in a new relationship is a beautiful thing.
Then why are you hiding behind a wall of DVDs? I'm not hiding.
I bought these to watch.
Since when do you like movies? Since LA.
You know, ever since we got back from Hollywood, I think I've turned into a real movie slut.
I think you mean "movie buff.
" No, no, she's right.
The expression is "movie slut.
" Change approved.
So, Jules, what are some of your favorite films? Obviously the classics, like, um Hitchcock? Oh! That's a dirty name.
Um, that's what the scholars have noted about it.
Uh, also of interest this.
Mm.
Okay.
Ooh, I think I should do some, um, push-ups.
- Holy - Blech! I don't know what to make of Trav and Laurie dating.
- I mean, it's really weird seeing them together.
- Mm-hmm.
But then again, after such a long buildup, - I guess we gotta let 'em play it out for a while.
- Yeah.
Hey, Bobby.
Got some more mail at my house again.
When are you gonna get your own mailbox? Well, I put out a cooler that said "Bobby's mail" on it, but as you probably guessed, a bachelor raccoon took it over for his personal hump shack.
A check for $14,000? What? Oh, uh, you guys all start at Jules' house, and then you branch out on different adventures, and I'm tired of missing out, so new kicks.
I don't believe this.
When you and Andy sold Penny Can to Roger, there was a clause in your contract that gave you points on all overseas revenue.
Wow! A clause! That is interesting.
- Didn't understand a word? - Not one.
Right on by.
Well, it appears that Penny Can has gone global.
Well, that would explain all this weird stuff that's been happening.
Guten tag! Dosen pfennig! Dosen pfennig! Hey, Ellie, I tried warm milk, reading stories, begging.
Stan still won't nap.
Ellie? Hey, Ellie, where-- Ay! Aah! I always knew this day would come! Right? 'Cause it sucks to be scared.
That's why Stan won't sleep.
'Cause his bar-soap-for-brains father let him watch "Nightmare On Elm Street," you dummy.
I thought he was mature enough to handle it.
He's already got a respectable Latin mustache.
No, he doesn't.
Stan the man, rockin' the fuzz! Good shot.
I've tried everything, but Stan is still terrified of Freddy Krueger.
I mean, Eddy-Fray Ueger-Kray.
Wow.
Smart kid.
What are we gonna do? You broke it, you fix it.
- Here you go, ladies.
- Thank you.
But I'm still annoyed at you for leaving the shower running again this morning.
He's trying to make a home steam room because his gym membership got revoked.
Too much nude flexing in the locker room? It's not my fault they can't handle the truth.
He got caught taking selfies.
You'll be happy when you see our new coffee-table book.
Sounds like you've got a full plate with your creepy vain husband and all the work you're doing to pretend you're cool with Trav and Laurie's recent operation to have their lips sewn together.
Trav and Laurie-- yes, it was tough for me at the beginning.
But, you know, the initial shock has worn off.
I'm cool with it.
Cool as ice.
You know, um, a high five is one of your tells that you're not cool, along with the inability to control the volume of your voice.
Please.
I'm not that bad.
- Hi! - Hey, guys.
- Hey, lovebirds! - Said the loudest woman on Earth.
Let's turn it down.
You're not a stereo.
Oh! My foster brother Technotron was part stereo.
He was born during an electrical storm that gave him extraordinary beatbox abilities.
He claimed that by turning his nurps you could adjust his treble and bass.
That's literally the most absurd thing that I've ever heard.
- Luckily, you are so cute.
- Mmm! Uh, scissors for hands? Good luck with that, Edward.
Oh, movie slut.
- We're gonna grab a table.
- Yeah.
Have fun! Okay, fine.
The shock hasn't worn off.
But I'm all right.
So the plan is, you're gonna get through their relationship as a high-fiving, loud-talking weirdo? What could go wrong? I assume nothing.
Whoa, Trav! Get some.
Lou Diamond Phillips is the face of domestic Penny Can, but I insisted you be on every can sold internationally.
But still, I never expected this.
Hey, everyone, next round's on me! Sweet! Hey, I'll take a, um beer.
This feels weird, handing money over for beer.
Don't think I've ever done that before.
You know, it's funny you should bring that up.
Bobby, I wanna show you something.
You see, last week, your bar tab spilled over into a second notebook because your first notebook was completely full.
I finished a book? So many slashes! Each one of them representing the thousands of drinks I've given you over the years.
And now you suddenly have all this money.
I sure do! Okay.
You know what? Why don't you just take this with you? Thumb through all those pages of slashes, and see if anything sparks to you.
Oh, thanks, G-man.
This is like a book of treasured memories.
I love it.
He's not gonna make the connection, is he? Again? Damn it, truth! Oh, boy.
- Jules! - Mom! Oh, my God! So much skin.
A pale and tan swirl.
Jules.
Honey, are you okay? Let me see.
Got herself a broken, um Hmm.
Okay, I-I'll be honest.
I-I pretty much partied my ass off in med school, so - I doubt that.
- No.
Why would you do that in my shower? I'm so sorry.
I didn't plan this.
Okay? We were just meeting up to go get dinner.
I got here early, decided to rinse off, and Laurie came in and said, "Where are you?" I said, "In here," which was not meant as an invite to join me.
Although when she misread it and did just that, I'll admit to not complaining.
You know what's so amazing? That this is the first time one of us has walked in on Jellybean getting jelly rolled.
This isn't funny.
I'm gonna have to strongly disagree.
There was nothing for you to grab onto as you were falling? Well, she reached out and grabbed onto my honks, but they were just so sudsy from Trav washing them for 20 minutes.
They were very dirty.
I slipped right off the honks.
I mean, it was all I could do to make my last, desperate grab for something to hold me up.
The towel bar? No.
Okay, mom, I'm sorry.
All right? You are never gonna have to see me and Laurie anywhere close to each other ever again.
Totally.
We're gonna put a ton of distance between us.
Like, Ellie and Andy distance.
Oh, honey.
I'm sorry.
- Nope! - Oh.
On campus, they called me "Dr.
Drinkenstein.
" They did not, Dr.
Nerd.
- Nerdsville.
- Nerd! What the hell is this? It's my brand-new used hot tub.
Grab a fro-yo and hop in.
Dang it, man.
That's the third time today.
That's it.
I can't hold my tongue any longer.
What, you burn it on a pizza? No.
Bobby, look, I'm talking about your bar tab.
And the fact that you're constantly just leaning over and helping yourself to whatever you want.
So what? Jules does that all the time.
She's married to me.
And I was married to her.
Bobby, a long time ago, I accepted the fact that you would never be able to pay your bar tab.
- Well, because I believed - Boîte à sous! Boîte à sous! That you would never have any money.
But now you have all this money, and you're just throwing it around like-- Party confetti! I got five bags! Yeah, help yourself.
Bobby, how would you like it if I came over here all the time and just helped myself to all your beer? I'd love it.
Mi casa, su casa, buddy.
Here you go.
Bobby logic.
- Stan.
Bedtime.
- No! I don't wanna go to bed.
I am so sleepy.
I know, right? So sleepy.
Good strategy.
What strategy? Oh, I-I thought you were trying to help me out.
Yeah, that's not really my style.
Good night.
Good night, sweet boy.
Come on, buddy.
It's late.
Let's go.
No.
Freddy Krueger's gonna get me.
Stan, you have to stop this.
There's no creepy scary man lurking outside.
Hey, I brought back your kitchen knife.
This was a bad way to return it.
I see that now.
I can't believe I overreacted like that to Trav and Laurie.
I don't think it's possible to overreact to accidentally grabbing your son's erect penis.
I acted like such a lunatic.
I mean, how can they ever feel comfortable around me again? How long before they stop coming over for morning coffee or Sunday dinner? Or just stop coming around altogether? - Oh.
- Ooh.
Could that really happen? I have to fix this.
I have to show them that I can be completely comfortable with their relationship, even the Naked-sexy-touchy-grabby? Yes.
Wait.
Is it me or could that be a great dance song? Naked sexy, touchy grabby Naked sexy touchy grabby, naked sexy touchy grabby.
Naked sexy touchy grabby, naked sexy touchy grabby.
Keep your ass moving right out the door.
Naked sexy touchy grabby, naked sexy Stan was up again all night.
I can't convince him that Freddy Krueger isn't real.
Ooh, that's a tough one.
That Freddy K is a scary son of a bitch.
I tried telling him that Superman is also real and on the hunt for Freddy Krueger, but he didn't buy that.
That's a good idea, though, you know.
We just need Stan to think Freddy K is dead.
Ooh.
What if I bought a Freddy Krueger mask Yi fen qián! Yi fen qián! All right, I put it on, and I let you violently murder me in front of your young child? This may be the severe lack of sleep talking, but that is the best idea I've ever heard! You're so amazing! Wait till you check out the new wheels I bought you.
They're by the boatyard.
Come on.
Beeramid! Bobby Cobb! See, I realize that you're a visual guy, so I needed a visual aid.
I get the feeling you're trying to make a point, and yet all I wanna do is bust through that thing like Kool-Aid man! No.
No, no, no! No, no! Oh! No, no, no, no.
No, don't you dare, buddy.
Okay? This took me six hours to stack this.
This represents all the beer you have taken from my bar.
Oh, no! Where are the brakes?! Oh, yeah! That's what the Kool-Aid guy says.
Shotgun! Your relationship was like jumping in the ocean for me.
But now the water's fine, and I'm used to it.
Oh, no.
Oh, come on.
Lovers should be close.
- Yeah, super close.
- Mm.
I think a couple that showers together is hot.
I gave Grayson the old lather, rinse, repeat this morning.
What's happening? Yeah, Jules, you're kind of freaking us out.
Jules told me she was gonna show you two how cool she is, so I ran here as fast as I could.
I may have texted him.
That one's not on me.
Okay, I don't know exactly what's going on, but this feels a little ambushy-- and I'm not talking about the nickname that my friend Amber named her Lady-Poof.
Relax, Laurie.
I'm not trying-- Oh! Ambushy.
I get it.
That's cute.
Look, I just wanted you to come over 'cause I wanted to show you that I could be cool with you guys being yourselves.
What happened to the woman who freaked out and crashed into the shower? That was so yesterday.
I mean, I'm cool now.
We're all adults here.
We could-- we could talk about sex.
Sex things we like to do or sex things we like done to us.
- Am I right? - Not remotely.
This seems healthy and fun.
I will get the ball rolling.
I like to be the dominant one.
I like to watch myself in the mirror.
There's a Inuit position called the bear claw.
I like to get my hair pulled.
Hard! - I think I'm ready to die.
- Even I'm uncomfortable.
I once had sex in a cemetery.
I had "Frida Rogers, loving wife and mother" imprinted on my back for, like, two weeks.
Never stop being you, Jellybean.
Come here, you! Ooh.
Gosh.
Yeah.
Mmm.
I mean Yeah.
See? There's nothing wrong with a little tongue wrestling.
Dude, how hot is this? - Okay.
I gotta go.
- Wait.
Where you going? We're having fun! No, this is actually the exact opposite of fun.
Yep.
Too weird.
I don't know.
Oh, honey, it's okay.
Dude, that was just for show.
That's not cool.
Big Tippi will fix this.
Look, look, look, look.
I'll pour until you tell me to stop.
Say when.
Well, I should've seen that coming.
Ellie, I just blew it.
I don't wanna be the insane mom whose son refuses to come visit with his girlfriend.
I can't wait to be that mom.
You know what really sucks? Laurie and Travis could make each other happy.
Well, then there's only one thing to do.
You're right.
You don't know what that is, do you? I do not.
You have to meet this thing head-on.
Talk it out.
You can't shy away from issues with people that you love.
Remember when Andy started wearing tank tops? Did I ignore it? No.
You confronted him at the Q&A of his first speech as Mayor.
- Mm-hmm.
- Ellie, there were reporters there.
I raised my hand.
His fault for giving me the floor.
You know what? You're right.
Thank you, Ellie.
I'm liking where this is goin'.
I will come out and kill you! Hey.
Ahh.
I'm real sorry about your pyramid, G-man.
I know you worked real hard on it.
And even though I still don't get why I can't treat your casa like my casa-- even though my casa es su casa-- I decided to stop taking you beer.
So brought my own.
That beer's from my pyramid.
Shoot.
Here.
I thought you were mad at me.
You spit in this? I'm not mad at you, Bobby, okay? The reason I let you take all that beer from me for all those years was because I knew you didn't have the money.
I guess I was just looking for a sign that you realized that and appreciated it.
That's all.
Thanks again for doing this.
Oh, anything for kids.
What is happening? I am going to savagely murder Freddy Krueger in front of Stan.
The sausages are intestines.
So much stupid.
Okay, here's what's gonna happen.
So you really have to move? Florida is so expensive.
Plus, I've had trouble finding work.
Well, we hope it all works out for you in faraway Canada.
I'm really gonna miss Gulfhaven-- the sunshine, the people.
Yeah, so friendly.
Really milking the moment here.
Right.
Uh, well thank you for the coffee.
Adieu.
Do you really have to leave, Mr.
Krueger? No, Mr.
Krueger was my father.
You can call me Freddy.
Good-bye, Freddy.
Hey, kid.
Catch! So much stupid! - What is all this? - I get it now.
You know, you been hooking me up all this time because you're such a great guy, and I've been doing such a crap job of letting you know.
So to apologize, I present to you my prized used hot tub.
Bobby, I can't accept this.
You you don't want my used hot tub? Why do you keep mentioning the "used" part? Look, I appreciate you always having my back.
And I don't think I've ever told you this, but I love you like a brother, G-man.
Man, I've never really had that many close guy friends.
I assume it's 'cause most guys are intimidated by my abs.
Yeah, well, most dudes can't handle the truth.
But I love you like a brother, too, man.
And a gesture like this coming from you means a whole heck of a lot more than money.
Well, I'm still gonna pay off my tab.
All right? Every last cent.
I insist.
And I refuse.
I'm relieved.
That money's gone.
You know, I think I may have a money management issue.
You know, it's a shame that I rolled this used hot tub all the way over here, and we may not even use it.
I don't recall saying that.
Here you go.
Wow.
You know, how'd you get this thing in here, anyway? Never you mind, buddy.
Never you mind.
You severely damaged part of the house, didn't you? Jules is gonna be furious.
- Whoo! That's good.
- That is good.
Hot beer-- there's nothin' like it.
Okay, the three of us have to-- Whoa! Seriously?! Come on, Jules! Uh, I'm sorry.
Uh, this-- this was my bad.
Well, let's just pretend that didn't happen.
Travis, you really are an attentive lover.
I'm sorry! I don't know what to say! Nothing is a good option.
He really is super attentive.
And also, such a hard worker.
- Oh.
- I'm sorry! I don't know what to say either! This is just so weird.
It is weird, and it's probably gonna be weird for a long time.
But I love you both so much.
And I support this relationship, even if that means occasionally swinging the door open and seeing you two So what are we supposed to do? Well we'll just deal with it.
We talk about it and we power through.
The only other option is to pull away from each other, and I refuse to let that happen.
I could never pull away from you, Jules.
I know if I tried, you'd hunt me down like the Terminator.
Where is Travis Cobb? Oh, sweetie, are you getting a cold? Such a bad movie slut.
I guess this is just gonna take some time getting used to.
And I'm willing to put in the time, 'cause you guys are so happy together.
I really think this relationship could be special.
Wait.
Do you mean this relationship or this relationship? It's the same thing.
We're all in a relationship together.
- Mnh, don't say that.
We're not.
- But we totally are! We're all in love with each other.
- Mm.
- Weird, Jules.
It's getting weird.
Can I get back in, please? No! You're being punished for groping.
I didn't know it was your leg.
Which begs the question, whose leg did you think it was? Uh, bubbles stopped again.
Aw, man.
The pump must be clogged with sprinkles.
No bubbles? Well, now we're just all taking a bath together.
- Ohh.
- But it's a bath with wine.
- Oh, yeah.
- Mmm.
- Yeah.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
