Will and Grace s10e03 Episode Script
Tex and the City
1 "Will & Grace" is recorded in front of a live studio audience.
Oh, thank God! I'm starving.
Starving? I thought you and the Curmudgeon were out to dinner.
I thought we were going to finally have sex, so I didn't want to come at him all bloated and gross.
Of course not.
Save it for me.
I can't believe you guys still haven't had sex.
It's been weeks.
Aren't you worried the window's going to close? Of course I am.
I like him so much.
But you know I only sleep with guys right away who I don't like.
That'll show them.
Oh, look, it's a double feature.
"Rio Homo" and "High by Noon.
" Hey, we're going to Texas! Karen's flying us down to see my grandson Skip.
He's singing in a church concert tomorrow, and Elliot's out of town, so I'm going to go support him.
And I was already flying down there to see the section of the wall that I sponsored.
That border wall is un-American.
Only on one side.
Our side is un-Mexican.
[MOUTHING WORDS.]
Oh, Will, come with me.
Skip would love to see you, and Texas would be so fun.
All the colorful sheriffs and the busty madams.
That's "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
" Well, we'll find out, won't we? You should go, Will.
You know, to be there for Skip, and to do something nice for your friend.
You just want the apartment to yourself so you can finally sleep with Noah.
- Yeah, I'm the friend.
- I guess I could go.
I did buy those new suede cowboy boots to see "A Star is Born" opening night.
I I think I got all the tear stains out.
You haven't had sex with him yet? What, are you having it renovated? Rip up the carpet, paint the walls, and let him move in.
[UPBEAT TRUMPET AND PIANO MUSIC.]
[KNOCKING AT DOOR.]
It's Noah! Uh - Noah, it's not a great time.
- Grace, open up.
It's an emergency.
What's the matter? Are you okay? We need to have sex.
I think the window is closing.
I know, right? I meant to bring it up at dinner, but I got distracted by that stupid waitress.
"Hi, my name's Paisley.
" Who names their child after an old lady's scarf? Yesterday, I had an Uber driver named Jonald.
Two stars for your dumb name.
You may be the perfect woman.
I think so too.
Okay, that's enough foreplay.
Let's do this.
So uh, what are we thinking? Here or the bedroom? Is the balcony crazy? Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop.
- What, what's wrong? - Look at me.
Oh, okay.
Is this better? You like this? Um, no, no.
No I mean, yes.
But, no, I just I just ate too much.
I feel I feel gross.
I don't think you're gross.
So, problem solved.
You've never felt too gross for sex? Never, not once.
Not even the day I got hit by a cab.
If the woman's on board, the train leaves the station.
Well, women just aren't wired like that.
- It's biology.
- No, you're just being neurotic.
I'm not You know what? Fine.
No, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What are you doing? - We're having sex.
- No, no, we're not.
Not not if you don't feel like it.
No, but you talked me into it.
No, no, no, no, no.
No.
No, nobody's talking anybody into sex.
Not in 2018.
[UPBEAT PIANO MUSIC.]
Wow.
You know, being in Texas reminds me of watching "Dallas" as a kid, and wanting shoulder pads like Victoria Principal.
And using Maxi-Pads to do it.
You know, like like most boys my age.
Keep your voice down, Mary Ellen.
What is wrong with you? You've been acting strange since we landed.
I didn't know the real Texas would be so Texas-y, you know? I feel a suffocating cloud of homophobia following us.
That may be the Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears that you're wearing.
Does this place seem homo-friendly to you? A guy outside looked at me and spit on the ground.
He's chewing tobacco.
You're not supposed to swallow it.
See? Homophobic! Grandpa Jack! Will! - Hey! - Oh, my God, Skip! Good to see you, buddy.
Come here.
Oh, my God.
Hey, come sit.
My mom's outside.
I just wanted to say hi.
I'm so glad you're going to see me sing for the first time.
I wouldn't miss it for the world.
I'm so proud of you.
You know, a lot of people are scared to share their talents with the world.
And some people aren't scared enough to share theirs.
- Good one.
- Not really.
You're young.
Your sense of humor is still developing.
Hey, let's take a selfie! My new Pixel has a wide-angle lens so we can get most of Will in it.
[LAUGHS.]
See, that's funny and smart.
[SHUTTER SNAPS.]
- There.
- So, uh, Skip.
What church song are you going to sing? It's not that kind of concert.
It's a talent show, and the song I'm doing is a secret.
But you're going to love it.
Who am I kidding? I have to tell you.
I'm doing "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend"! - That's great.
- That's so great.
[WHISPERING.]
Oh, my God! - That's a great song.
- To sing in Texas! [WHISPERING.]
No, it's not.
It's so exciting.
Say, tell me.
Is there an exit from the backstage area to the street in case of an emergency? - I don't know, why? - No reason.
So exciting! [LAUGHS.]
[MOUTHING WORDS.]
[UPBEAT PIANO MUSIC.]
[BIRD CAWS.]
I've got an incoming civilian.
Looks like a rich white lady.
Will engage and report back.
Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Howdy, officer.
Sorry I'm late, but I decided to go over the bumpiest parts of the road twice.
Let's just say this cowgirl was coming 'round the mountain when she came.
- Can I help you, ma'am? - I'm Karen Walker.
This is my portion of the wall.
Pretty, isn't it? I love how it lets them see what they can't have.
I'm afraid this isn't your section of the wall.
- Someone else sponsored it.
- That's impossible.
I specifically requested this section because this is where the most illegal drugs get seized.
I appreciate you trying to help keep drugs out of America Who says I'm trying to keep them out? This is an outrage.
Who would have the giant cojones to steal my sponsorship of the wall? Well, well, well.
Hello, Karen.
I thought "Walker, Texas Ranger" got canceled years ago because of old age.
Oh, and I nearly forgot to congratulate you on "Toy Story 4.
" I heard Stan kicked you out of the manse like a dried-up old tumbleweed.
I never thought you would have blown all the way down here.
Or are you just visiting my section of the wall? It's my section, Wyatt Twerp.
Now get these Hot Wheels out of here before I move them out for you.
- I'd like to see you try.
- Hold on tight, Beverley.
Because you're about to try reverse cowboy.
[BOTH GRUNT.]
Take that, you Mexican jumping queen! [CRASHING.]
[KNOCK AT DOOR.]
- Hello.
- Well, hello.
- You look great.
- And I feel like I look great.
Then nothing's stopping the train from leaving the station.
All aboard who's coming aboard.
I'm going to need to see you papers.
Wait, I just took it to a weird Nazi place.
All right, let's do this.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
- Oh, oh, by the way.
- Uh-huh.
- A little something for later.
- Okay.
Oh, my God! You went to City Sandwich! - Yeah, I did good, huh? - Oh, so good.
- Oh, God, I miss that place.
- What do you mean? - It didn't go anywhere.
- Oh, well, it's kind of funny.
I slept with a guy who works there, and he got kind of kind of clingy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You slept with a guy who works there? Yeah, he made such good sandwiches, I thought I was into him, but it was definitely just the sandwich.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
The The guy who makes the sandwiches? With the beard? You mean Brian? You know Brian? Yeah.
Of course I know Brian! Brian's my guy! Well, I guess he was kind of my guy too.
That's not funny.
I can't believe you're this jealous.
No, no, no.
I'm not jealous, okay? It's just that you slept with someone I know who just touched my meat.
What are we even talking about? I don't know.
So we're not we're not What do you think? [SIGHS.]
[SNIFFS.]
Delicious.
Brian wins again.
Skip can't sing a song that gay in a Texas church.
He'll be scarred for life.
Figuratively, and maybe even What's the other one? I can't remember.
- You mean "literally"? - Yes, well, I literally can't remember the opposite of "figuratively.
" - What am I going to do? - What are you talking about? You're the one who rescued him from that conversion camp and gave him the courage to be who he is.
In New York.
Not in Texas.
They beat up gay kids for sport here.
Haven't you ever seen "Friday Night Lights"? Yes, but I'm pretty sure you haven't.
Learning how not to be a target is just as much a part of being gay as learning how to do this.
See what you made me do? You know I always high kick when I'm emotional.
Jack, have you ever wondered why I'm not a world-famous rock star? Can't sing, can't dance, cankles? It was the fall of 1980, and a young Will Truman was crying into his Perry Ellis sheets because his mother wouldn't let him do the talent contest dressed as Freddie Mercury from Queen.
She said it was my own fault if I got beat up.
And when I signed up anyway, she hid my moustache and fake teeth.
Wow.
I see why you never told me that story.
Yeah, painful.
It's long.
Learn to edit, Will.
Jack, this is my origin story.
Me, alone, singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" to my GI Joes, who met while on leave and fell in love.
Do you know how that felt? Trying to be a queen, and not being supported by someone I love? It left a mark that I've never completely gotten over.
- He'll get bullied.
- Maybe.
And that would be horrible.
But he needs to live his truth, and you need to support him.
That all makes sense in America.
But this is Texas! [UPBEAT PIANO MUSIC.]
This is preposterous! What am I even being charged with? Fleeing the scene of a child's birthday cake.
And stealing my wall.
Mr.
Leslie, can you come with me? I will.
There's no need for excessive force.
Unless that's what you're into.
This place is pretty miserable.
Unless I'm sorry, is this your house? - No, I'm locked up, like you.
- Ah, what are you in for? I tried to climb your precious wall.
Oh, well, maybe you should do what other immigrants do to try to get in legally, like, I don't know, be white, or look white, or marry the president.
Besides, is Mexico so bad? I snuck across the southern border fleeing the brutal gangs of my home.
I have travelled 2,000 miles and spent my life savings paying off the cops and hiding from the cartels.
For me, Mexico has been hell.
Well.
The beaches are nice, but it sounds like you've been mostly inland.
Why am I even talking to you? I bet you couldn't even find El Salvador on a map.
El Salvador? I knew someone from El Salvador.
Her name was Rosario.
Did you know her? We had a burro named Rosario.
Loud, and stubborn, and kicked you when you got too close.
That's her! [KNOCKING AT DOOR.]
All right, I walked around the block, and I saw a millennial protesting straws get crapped on by a pigeon, and I didn't even crack a smile.
- Why are you telling me this? - Because that sort of thing usually cheers me up.
Are we too crazy for each other? - Well, you are a lot of work.
- You're no picnic, either.
What? Eh, who am I kidding? [SIGHS.]
You know what, maybe it's good that the window closed.
Yeah.
Maybe we dodged a bullet.
- It's a shame, really.
- How so? I bet the sex with us would have been amazing.
Definitely, I mean, crazy on crazy can get pretty crazy.
In my '20s, I'd just phone it in.
Now I got something to prove.
My constant fear of death has infused my lovemaking with a sense of panic that's really upped my game.
At this point, there's basically nothing I won't do.
Mm.
- It's too bad.
- Yeah, too bad.
Hey, when you say there's basically nothing you won't do, you you mean Everything.
I'm tired.
I'm going to bed.
You can let yourself out.
Oh, my God.
What is taking you so long? [UPBEAT PIANO MUSIC.]
You know, up until this point, I hadn't heard one bad thing about the wall, and I watch Fox News all the time.
I've heard a lot about the War on Christmas, but Well, they've never trashed the wall.
Gosh.
What if it had kept my Rosario out? She came to America, just like you want to.
And all her dreams came true.
What did she do? She cleaned my toilets, and made sure I didn't choke on my own sick while I slept.
My dreams are a little different.
Really? How so? My husband came here four years ago with my daughter.
I just want to be with them again.
Hmm.
Here, honey.
Take this.
I bought it for myself when Rosario died.
It's worth a stupid amount of money.
Sell it, and maybe you can get yourself out of here and find your family.
[DOOR BUZZES.]
Mrs.
Walker, you're free to go.
Thank you.
You seem like a person with many horrible qualities.
Who can occasionally be redeemed through unexpected kindness.
Good read.
Oh, Karen, the things he made me do to him to let us go.
He may look like Mr.
Clean, but he's Mr.
Dirty.
Anyway, he said that all we had to do was split the cost of repairing the gap that we made in the wall.
Well, you're on your own.
I'm not sponsoring that thing anymore.
What? Do I look like the kind of man that would pay an exorbitant amount of money just to have a hole filled? Oh, Beverley Leslie.
Sometimes, you make it too easy.
Hi, is this where the talent show is? You are in the right place.
The last boy is singing now.
The "sensitive" one with the fancy haircut.
- Will, start the car.
- Yeah, we we took a Lyft.
- And I cannot let you - Start the Lyft! Diamonds! But diamonds Are a girl's best Best friend [APPLAUSE.]
Oh, my God! They're all slapping him! You don't recognize that sound because it's applause.
Jack? Open your eyes.
- They love him.
- They do? - They do.
- They do! That's my grandson! He's related to me! I dreamed of being in a talent show once.
I fantasized about playing my idol, Freddie Mercury, but my mother had other ideas.
This sounds like a long story.
Yeah, but I I made some edits.
Great job, Skip.
I want to thank my Grandpa Jack for teaching me to always be true to myself, no matter what.
Sounds like he's a great role model.
No, I'm not, I but now's not the time to make some dramatic confession.
I am the worst role model in the world! May I? - Oh, I'd really rather - Thank you so much.
Skip, I've been a terrible grandpa.
I came here to actually stop you from performing.
Well, why would you want to stop me? Because I I thought they wouldn't accept you as you are.
I just assumed they'd be homophobic, but it turns out I was Texa-phobic.
Intolerance comes in many forms.
I'm having a private conversation with my grandson here.
Thank you.
Then why are you still on the mic? Because it's a teachable moment, pastor! Thank you, go in peace.
Skip, it's it's important to see people for who they are, not for who you expect them to be.
A powerful notion everyone heard because I'm on the mic! Please, don't let anyone ever talk you out of being you.
- Even if it's you? - Even if it's me.
Although, Marilyn did have cleaner lines and a stronger turnout.
But we got time for that.
And I just want to say to my friend, Will, that I should have listened to him, and that I wish he had the chance to let out his inner "Queen.
" Ay-oh! Ay-oh Ay-oh! Grandpa Jack? Can something be too gay? Yes, it can, Skip.
Oh, thank God! I'm starving.
Starving? I thought you and the Curmudgeon were out to dinner.
I thought we were going to finally have sex, so I didn't want to come at him all bloated and gross.
Of course not.
Save it for me.

It's Noah! Uh - Noah, it's not a great time.
- Grace, open up.
It's an emergency.

I think the window is closing.

- How so? I bet the sex with us would have been amazing.
Definitely, I mean, crazy on crazy can get pretty crazy.
In my '20s, I'd just phone it in.
Now I got something to prove.
My constant fear of death has infused my lovemaking with a sense of panic that's really upped my game.
At this point, there's basically nothing I won't do.
Mm.
- It's too bad.
- Yeah, too bad.
Hey, when you say there's basically nothing you won't do, you you mean Everything.
I'm tired.
I'm going to bed.
You can let yourself out.
Oh, my God.
What is taking you so long? [UPBEAT PIANO MUSIC.]
You know, up until this point, I hadn't heard one bad thing about the wall, and I watch Fox News all the time.
I've heard a lot about the War on Christmas, but Well, they've never trashed the wall.
Gosh.
What if it had kept my Rosario out? She came to America, just like you want to.
And all her dreams came true.
What did she do? She cleaned my toilets, and made sure I didn't choke on my own sick while I slept.
My dreams are a little different.
Really? How so? My husband came here four years ago with my daughter.
I just want to be with them again.
Hmm.
Here, honey.
Take this.
I bought it for myself when Rosario died.
It's worth a stupid amount of money.
Sell it, and maybe you can get yourself out of here and find your family.
[DOOR BUZZES.]
Mrs.
Walker, you're free to go.
Thank you.
You seem like a person with many horrible qualities.
Who can occasionally be redeemed through unexpected kindness.
Good read.
Oh, Karen, the things he made me do to him to let us go.
He may look like Mr.
Clean, but he's Mr.
Dirty.
Anyway, he said that all we had to do was split the cost of repairing the gap that we made in the wall.
Well, you're on your own.
I'm not sponsoring that thing anymore.
What? Do I look like the kind of man that would pay an exorbitant amount of money just to have a hole filled? Oh, Beverley Leslie.
Sometimes, you make it too easy.
Hi, is this where the talent show is? You are in the right place.
The last boy is singing now.
The "sensitive" one with the fancy haircut.
- Will, start the car.
- Yeah, we we took a Lyft.
- And I cannot let you - Start the Lyft! Diamonds! But diamonds Are a girl's best Best friend [APPLAUSE.]
Oh, my God! They're all slapping him! You don't recognize that sound because it's applause.
Jack? Open your eyes.
- They love him.
- They do? - They do.
- They do! That's my grandson! He's related to me! I dreamed of being in a talent show once.
I fantasized about playing my idol, Freddie Mercury, but my mother had other ideas.
This sounds like a long story.
Yeah, but I I made some edits.
Great job, Skip.
I want to thank my Grandpa Jack for teaching me to always be true to myself, no matter what.
Sounds like he's a great role model.
No, I'm not, I but now's not the time to make some dramatic confession.
I am the worst role model in the world! May I? - Oh, I'd really rather - Thank you so much.
Skip, I've been a terrible grandpa.
I came here to actually stop you from performing.
Well, why would you want to stop me? Because I I thought they wouldn't accept you as you are.
I just assumed they'd be homophobic, but it turns out I was Texa-phobic.
Intolerance comes in many forms.
I'm having a private conversation with my grandson here.
Thank you.
Then why are you still on the mic? Because it's a teachable moment, pastor! Thank you, go in peace.
Skip, it's it's important to see people for who they are, not for who you expect them to be.
A powerful notion everyone heard because I'm on the mic! Please, don't let anyone ever talk you out of being you.
- Even if it's you? - Even if it's me.
Although, Marilyn did have cleaner lines and a stronger turnout.
But we got time for that.
And I just want to say to my friend, Will, that I should have listened to him, and that I wish he had the chance to let out his inner "Queen.
" Ay-oh! Ay-oh Ay-oh! Grandpa Jack? Can something be too gay? Yes, it can, Skip.
