The Neighborhood (2018) s05e13 Episode Script

1
Aw, our baby broke up with his fiancée,
and he's out there suffering.
Eh, he's okay.
He's just waiting for Necie
to come get her stuff.
But he's in pain. And he looks hungry.
I'll take him a snack.
No, no. No, no, no, no.
Babe, sometimes you
just got to let a man
be strong and power through it.
- Oh, hey.
- Hey. Hey, guys.
What's Marty doing out on the sidewalk?
Yeah, hey, Marty,
- what are you doing
- Hey, hey, shh.
He's waiting for Necie.
Aw, he looks hungry.
See, that's what I said.
Will you give the man some privacy?
Yes. Okay.
Look, this is something he's
just gonna have to go through.
Niecy's here.
She's getting out of her car.
Oh, is he going to shake her hand?
Oh, no, no, no.
No, it's looking like a hug.
Oh, no
It's a side hug.
What? No. Not the side hug.
That's what you give
your cousin at church.
Oh. Uh
Uh, N-Necie saw us.
- Hey, Necie.
- Hey.
How you doing?
So, how was the drive over?
You know trafficky.
Ah. Yeah.
Hey, Necie, we're sure we're
doing the right thing, right?
I think we are.
And there's no reason
it has to be awkward.
Hey, Marty, have you seen this
cursing baby on TikTok? It's
Oh, damn.
- Hey, Necie.
- Hey, Malcolm.
So The coffee grinder.
You should keep it.
No, no, no, you.
You know I got somewhere
to be that is not here.
Where the hell are my keys?
Look, I am happy getting
my beans ground at the store.
I mean, I know I saw them right here,
but, uh, I'm gonna just
to go ahead and walk.
Y'all Yeah.
I want you to keep it.
And before I forget
Oh, the ring.
Oh, damn.
Uh Where's my other shoe?
You should keep it.
Oh, no, no, no.
Necie, I bought it for you. It's yours.
You know what?
I ain't going far.
One shoe was plenty.
I'm gonna just, uh
hop on out of here. Yeah.
Tina.
Look at this.
The wedding reception venue
charged my credit card.
I left them five voice mails
letting them know
the wedding was cancelled.
Why are they charging me $10,000?
Calvin, is money that
important right now?
Our son is right next door about to
say goodbye to the love of his life.
And his poor dad is about
to say goodbye to $10,000.
Well, at least we'll get some money back
when I take back this dress.
Ah, that's true.
There's a couple of hundred bucks.
What's so funny?
Oh, my goodness.
What happened to your other shoe?
I don't know, Mama.
But things were extremely
awkward over there.
I had to get the hell out,
shoe be damned.
Goodness. Were they fighting?
No, it was worse.
They were being super
nice to each other.
And then she offered to
give him the ring back.
Well, as she should.
No wedding, no ring.
Why? It was a gift.
That's what Marty said.
And he refused to take it back.
H-Hold on, now.
That-that ring was a contract.
And that contract is void.
I agree. It's like
when you cancel your cable.
You have to give
the company the box back.
Marty is not Spectrum. He's a person.
And if we hadn't gotten married,
I would've kept the ring.
Who told you that?
Hey, guys.
What are y'all talking about?
- Cliff diving.
- Horses.
Pickleball.
Ah, so me, then.
Aw.
But we were just
worried about you, baby.
I know, mom, and I
appreciate it, but I'm fine.
- I even started eating again.
- Oh.
You see that? I told you he'd be fine.
I wasn't worried at all.
You are a Butler man. Strong.
Well, one bummer is you
guys won't get to see
me and Necie's first dance.
I really nailed that paso doble.
- Aw.
- Yeah,
well, no one got to see Dave
and my first dance, either.
This is a hilarious story.
Do you want to tell it or should I?
- Go ahead.
- Okay.
Uh
Gemma and I had been
practicing our dance for weeks.
And then we get to the reception,
and the DJ gets on the mic
and says, "Calling Mr. and Mrs.
Johnson to the dance floor."
And then, get this.
I'm sorry.
Gemma, you go. You tell
them. No, I got it, okay.
Then my mom jumps up,
grabs me and takes
me to the dance floor.
So your first dance as a married man
was with your mom?
Yeah, yeah, you get it.
I-I told you it was funny.
That's not funny.
No, uh, Gemma, tell them.
We have been laughing
about this for years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, funny.
Hey, uh, Joe?
Calvin Butler.
I left you, like, 14 messages.
Ah, yes, Mr. Butler. So nice to see you.
Don't worry about all this.
It'll be cleaned up by Saturday.
Actually, uh
that's what I'm coming to tell
you. We've got some bad news.
My son called off his wedding.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
Ah, thank you. Thank you so much.
He's gonna be okay. He's strong.
But, uh, how do I get my money back?
You put it back on the card?
Is there a check? Uh, Venmo, Zelle?
I'm sorry. Unfortunately,
if you had read your contract,
you would see that all
payments are non-refundable.
Believe me, I get it.
You know, I'm a businessman,
and you got to protect
yourself from flaky customers.
But my son is no flake.
Yeah, he just realized
at the last minute
that he didn't want to get married.
I don't think you understand
the word non-refundable.
It comes from the root word refund,
which means to pay back,
and non, which means to not do that.
Ah.
I don't think you understand the
roots of the word ass whupping.
Which comes from the act
of me whupping your ass.
Okay, all right, Calvin, I-I
think he knows what it means.
Look, pal.
You signed the contract, all right?
The only way out
is through an act of God.
You're a smart guy.
You know what an act of God is.
Like an earthquake.
Oh, yeah, there's definitely
gonna be some furniture
- moving around here.
- Okay, I-I
Everyone just calm down.
I-I'm sure there's a way
that we can work this out, yeah?
We already worked it out.
You paid for my venue.
I provided the venue.
Doesn't sound like a problem to me.
Ooh-hoo!
Ah
You know what, Dave? He's right.
I did pay for this venue,
so I'm gonna use this venue,
and I want everything
I'm being charged for.
But you said the wedding's cancelled.
Oh, the wedding is cancelled.
But the party? Oh, the party is on.
What do you mean we're
still gonna have the party?
The guy was gonna charge me anyway.
Babe, you should've seen his face
when I told him
we gonna go ahead with it.
Well, it sounds like
you're doing this out of spite.
Uh, yes.
You know the saying.
"Spite makes right."
Yeah, I don't think they say that.
Okay, look at it this way.
We're gonna take this sad occasion
and turn it into a celebration.
A sad-lebration.
Okay, Daddy, we're gonna
keep workshopping the name.
But sure. I mean, we have a great venue.
We already invited all our
friends and family. Let's do it.
See? That's my boy.
Now, will there be cake?
Eh, I don't think so.
Well, actually, we already
paid for the wedding cake.
Then there will be cake!
Oh, look at you.
You kept the dress.
Yes, I did it for the people.
- They deserve to see me in it.
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, hold still. Let me
get this tag off for you.
No, no, no, Gemma.
Okay? Don't take it off.
This dress is going back to the store
as soon as the party is over.
Aw, I know it's expensive,
but you should keep
Oh, oh, no!
That's got to go back. Mm.
Everything okay, Mr. Butler?
Now, Joe, I believe
the contract calls for
a flight of condiments.
There it is right in front of you.
All I see is ketchup and mustard.
No aioli? No chimichurri?
You can't have a flight
without chimichurri.
I believe that's a breach of contract.
No, no, no breach, no breach.
Now get this man chimichurri.
What's wrong with you? Go!
It'll be here shortly.
Now, that's what I'm talking about.
Hey, Tina, can I talk
No!
Get back!
Gemma, get your man!
She is already mad at me.
I've been going around for years
pouring salt in a wound that
I didn't even know she had.
Well, Dave, then fix it.
I'm trying, but I can't
change what happened.
But you can change what happens next.
You mean
I don't know what you mean.
Now she's mad at me, too.
Hey, little bro, I see, uh,
I see you out here
all by yourself, dancing.
You sure you're all right?
No, I'm not all right,
because you not dancing.
If you're on the dance
floor, you got to dance.
Yeah, but Marty, Marty,
I'm being serious, little bro.
Dance!
Okay, look, I'm dancing, all right?
But now you got to be
you got to be real with me, okay?
Now, I am your big brother,
and if this is all too much for you,
let me know and I will
shut this place down.
W-What is going on?
We're dancing, Daddy.
Marty says if you're on the dance floor,
you got to dance, Pop.
Hey.
All right.
But why are we dancing with each other
when all these beautiful ladies
are just out here sitting down?
I mean, that one right there
has been eyeing you for ten minutes.
You mean cousin Yvette?
- That's cousin Yvette?
- Uh-huh.
Okay, well, maybe not her.
And shame on you
for eye-groping this boy.
I'm gonna tell your mom.
Oh! Yeah. I'm starving.
What do we have here?
Vegan pigs in a blanket with
a cashew cheese dipping sauce.
Ugh.
That is so disgusting.
Marty. Come on.
It's not that bad, man.
No, it it's not that. It's just
This whole day was supposed
to be about me and Necie.
We picked out everything
from the playlist
and the color scheme,
even those disgusting fake hot dogs.
Now everything's just reminding
me of what's never gonna be.
I'm sorry. You guys just
you guys just dance without me.
Is he doing a sad moonwalk?
Yeah, because he's sad, Pop.
Look, you keep saying that Marty's fine
because that's how you deal with stuff.
That's not who he is.
You know, things happened so
fast between him and Necie
he barely had a chance to process.
Hmm.
I guess
my boy never really
did get closure, huh?
And here I am
turning up like it's
my album release party.
I got to do something.
Hey, hey.
Really?
The bride and groom cake topper?
I told you the wedding is off.
You paid for the topper.
God forbid you don't
get something you paid for.
Hey, Necie, can we Oh!
Oh! Oh, whoa. My God.
So sorry, Mr. Butler.
What are you doing here?
Look, I know it's weird, but, um
we're having a little get-together
and I thought it'd be more fun
for everyone if you came.
Is the party, by any chance,
at the charter club?
It is.
Couldn't get your deposit back, huh?
Okay.
Yes, you got me, all right?
I am a cheap man.
But look, I just wanted to have a party
to get Marty's mind off
what's happened with you two.
How's that working out?
Not good.
But that's why I'm here.
I didn't realize how much he was hurting
until the vegan pigs
in a blanket came out.
Did everyone enjoy them?
Mm-hmm.
You know, this day was supposed to be
a celebration for the both of you.
And I know Marty would really
be happy if you came.
I appreciate that, but I just can't.
It would be too hard on me.
Yeah. Yeah, I-I could see that.
I had to try though, huh?
All right.
Get back to it.
You know
Necie, I just wanted you to know that
that Marty's not gonna be
the only one that'll miss you.
We all will.
You were part of our family, and
we never got a chance
to say a real goodbye.
I'm gonna miss you guys, too.
Uh
I'd give you a hug,
but I'm really sweaty.
Oh, it's all good.
I jogged in from the parking lot,
so I'm sweaty, too.
Okay. Yeah, go.
Go. Get-get back to it.
Oh! Napkin! Napkin!
Napkin! Okay.
Ladies and gentlemen,
quick announcement.
If you have a silver Prius
parked in front of the dumpster,
you are about to be towed.
And now, please turn your attention
to the dance floor,
where I present to you
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson!
What? No, you didn't.
Uh, yes, I did.
- Get your butt out there!
- Oh!

My team's gonna start cleaning up now.
I don't think so.
If you recall,
I paid for the hall until midnight.
It's 11:48.
You're a smart guy, Joe.
Is that midnight?
I don't like you.
Oh, and I want all
these leftovers boxed up
and put in my truck.
Get this man some damn boxes.
Oh, hey, hey, Marty.
Look, man, I want to apologize.
I was raised to be hard
and never express my feelings.
But sometimes being Butler strong means
being strong enough to
admit when you're hurting.
Did I not tell you that part?
No.
No, you pretty explicitly
said the opposite.
Yeah Look,
I'm sorry if I made you feel
like you had to be tough, for me.
Are you okay?
I will be.
Thanks, Dad. Yeah. All right.
Oh.
Hello.
Hi.
What are you doing here?
Your dad told me the vegan pigs
in a blanket were delicious.
Yeah, yeah, everybody loved them.
You want some?
Uh, there's a lot left.
No-no, thanks.
How you doing?
I'm okay.
Considering today was supposed to be
You know?
Yeah, I know.
It's too bad.
I was really looking forward
to seeing you do the paso doble.
Well, you still can.
Maybe we should give them a minute.
We can give them exactly seven.
So, Pop, where do you want this
vegan stuff in the garage fridge?
No, the garbage.
I just wanted to make Joe pack it up.
All right, the last of the food,
and I haven't gotten
a speck on my dress.
Hey, Marty, have you seen my keys?
No, man, I
Oh, wait, what is this?
Is that the ring?
Yeah, it is.
Necie must've stuck this in
my pocket while we were dancing.
Well, all right.
What?
The boy don't need to be
brokenhearted and broke.
Mrs. Butler, I must say,
once again, you look great
in this dress.
Well, enjoy it, because this
is the last time you're gonna see it.
Please tell me that was your spine.
