Ally McBeal (1997–2002): Season 3, Episode 21 - Ally McBeal: The Musical, Almost - full transcript

Nelle and John sing the blues. Nelle is lonely after having left Cage and Fish and realizes that she actually liked it there, and John is reliving past pain since it's his birthday. Ally is in hysterics when introducing Brian to her parents, and her father doesn't take kindly to the new man in her life.

Mom? Dad? Um...

Uh, I-I would... I
would... I would... I

would... I would like
you to meet, um, Brian.

And, Brian, th-this

Well, we-we should probably get
going. Our reservations are for 8:00.

And-And we don't
want to be late.

But we won't. It's not like
they're gonna run out of food.

It-It's a restaurant.
They-They have plenty.

You seem to go through something
like this every time you have a birthday.

How could I not go through it?

Birthdays, people take
inventories of their lives.

Do they not? The
wife, the kids, the home.

What do I have to show for
my 36 years? I have no family.

You have friends. Aren't
they throwing you a big party?

Oh, Elaine Vassal organizes
it only so she can do a number.

She'd tap dance on my head
if there was applause in it.

John. Except for Richard
Fish, all my friends work for me.

I walk around muttering
"balls, balls, balls" all day long.

I've become a little
curmudgeon toad.

The worst part is, it suits me.
I am a little curmudgeon toad.

It's what I was
put on Earth to be.

- Balls.
- The problem is,

I didn't want to
leave Cage & Fish.

- I was happy there.
- You didn't want to leave?

No. Well,

if you didn't want to leave,
don't you think stealing files...

and starting your own practice was
probably a misguided thing to do?

Well, I thought I wanted out.

But it was more about
punishing the dweeb.

The dweeb? John Cage.

Nelle, look at me.

If you really want to go back, I'm
sure I can work it out with Richard Fish.

Did you sleep with
him again? Oh, God, no.

I just let him go
down on my button.

Tell me what you want to do.

Look, I... I don't know.

And I don't know what
I've done to deserve this...

this isolation.

Nelle, honey, you
screwed your friends.

Even so, my life hasn't
been so charmed, you know?

I've had it pretty rough.

You knew that Brian was a
lawyer, um, too? Did I mention that?

Not in the last five minutes.

Oh. My dad.

He's so funny. Isn't he funny?

He's a stitch.

Well, that's funny too.

I guess I just have two funny
parents. Who-Who knew?

Relax, honey. Well, I just think
that everybody is so damn...

Funny.

What kind of law
do you practice?

I think it could be the drugs
interacting with the wine.

It's my fault. I slipped her a little
something just to loosen her up for later.

Mostly litigation.

Although I'm, uh, I'm
trying to get out of it.

It's just too much
acrimony on a daily

basis. I'm probably
gonna go into corporate.

Corporate's boring.
Nothin' but paperwork.

Dotting I's, crossing T's.

Well, it sounds exciting
to hear you describe it.

I thought the English
liked acrimony.

To see them all screaming
at each other in Parliament...

I watch it on
cable. It's ridiculous.

It's not really like that. We just do
that to entertain the Americans...

when they can't watch wrestling.

Would you like to
hear the specials?

Actually, I'm still
waiting for my drink.

Were you just kidding when
you took our drink orders?

I'll check on them, sir.

Ally, what are you
doing? Oh, I just thought

there was a disco
queen under the table.

Even I'm funny. I guess it comes
from having two funny parents.

Well, seems she's not hungry.

- It was my fault?
- Uh, "corporate's boring."

Uh, "Gee, I thought the
English liked acrimony."

I was just making
conversation. No.

You were just guaranteeing
that we have a lousy evening.

You... You wanted the whole thing to tank.
Well, congratulations. You pulled it off.

But, see, the problem
is, Dad, is that I'm 30 now,

not 16.

So I don't need my father's
approval in order to like a guy.

So whatever it was that you were
trying to accomplish, it didn't work.

You don't get to talk to me like
that. Why weren't you at the funeral?

What? Billy's.

I was in London. You
knew that. I called.

Oh, right. You called.

Well, you know, it was really
nice having dinner with you, Dad,

but I am gonna go have
lunch with the man in my life.

How can you meet with
her? I won't if you're against it.

I am against it, and
I can't believe you're

not, no matter how
many clients are involved.

John, if Nelle's leaving, if it was
about you, I know you still have...

some pent-up anger with
regard to her. Oh, balls.

Maybe you two
should talk. Look, look.

I wouldn't think of hiring
her back if you didn't want it.

Even if you did want it, I doubt
that I... But I still think you two...

I hate her!

As long as I've known you, I don't think
I've ever heard you use that word... hate.

I never thought you even
had the capacity for-for hate.

Well, then you were
wrong, now, weren't you?

You know, prior to her leaving,
you were walking around.

You were saying some pretty
awful things to her, about her...

She dumped me while I
was wedged in an elevator,

in public, in front of the whole
office. What difference does it make...

It makes a big difference!

You know, I've never
told anybody this.

When I was five
or six, I was fat.

Rotund.

And the other kids
would just tease me so.

We had this neighborhood carnival
to raise money for the "Jimmy Fund."

And they... Some of
them convinced me...

to be in a booth where they
would guess my weight...

and try to win
a... a teddy bear.

They'd sing this song.

And I can still
hear it, Richard.

♪ Johnny, the fat boy ♪

♪ Johnny, the fat boy ♪

♪ Isn't he round ♪

♪ Isn't he round ♪

♪ What does he weigh, folks ♪

♪ Can you guess what he weighs ♪

♪ You know it's
only a quarter ♪♪

Well, I made up my mind
right then in that booth,

I would not be fat,

and there would be limits as to
how much ridicule I would endure.

And she crossed
the line, Richard.

She did. She crossed the line.

And what about you?

Your problem, John... You care too
much about what other people think.

How things look to everybody.

Well, what hurt me...

I cared about what
you were thinking.

And... you so fundamentally...

disapprove of who
I am, what I am.

It's a lot more painful than being
stuck in an elevator, I promise you.

I want you to leave,
Nelle. Can you get that?

I don't want you in my office.

No, John. You don't
want me in your life.

I get that.

I got it even before you did.

I am not gonna make love to you.

You're rejecting me? Under these
circumstances, I most certainly am.

I am not about to go to bed with you
simply because you're angry at your father.

Brian, that is not
it. I am in the mood!

Do I not look like I am
in the mood, damn it?

You're in a mood. I-I-I
thought that you wanted this.

Ally, you have a fight with your dad. You
call me. You tell me to rush right over.

And, I mean...

We will make love. Hopefully, very
soon. But not because of some...

Brian, you are a man.

You are supposed to take
it any way you can get it.

Well, I don't want it this way.

I'll dance with you.
I bet he'd hate that.

Are you making fun of me now?

I'm not making fun of you.
I'm just saying suck it up.

Oh, suck up what? I never
understood this expression.

Maybe if you heard
the bells. Balls, bells!

I can't even hear Barry White
anymore. Didn't I tell you that?

You know, John, I have
my own little theme song.

I never talk about
it, but... I've got one.

Well, I will pay
you not to sing it.

You'll hear it at the party.
Actually, I've asked Elaine to sing it.

Oh, God.

It couldn't be more appropriate
for what you're going through.

Hmm.

Now I'm ready to
make love to you. Mmm.

And now, I don't want to.

A woman who will kiss
on the very first date...

is usually a hussy.

And a woman who kisses on the
second time out, anything but fussy.

You know that song?

The Music Man. Yeah.
It's one of my favorites.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, it-it is... my...

- Figures.
- What?

My dad and I would always
sing "Lida Rose" together...

from The Music Man.

I love "Lida Rose."

Nelle, whatever you
believe my opinion of you is,

I can't see it wounding
you to such depths that...

My disapproval of you,
it only went to your...

Being a "rich bitch ice
queen elitist cold snob."

In case you're in search of the
words. But you embraced that, Nelle.

I called you elitist, and
you wore it like a badge.

But in your eyes, it was an
indictment. Well, it wasn't in yours.

So what do you care...
Because I loved you.

How... Okay, so you were
wounded by somebody you loved.

Well, so was I. The difference
is, you did it maliciously.

So did you! Walking around the
office saying the things you were saying.

That came from hurt
after we broke up.

You dumping me while I was in that
elevator... That didn't come from pain.

Yes, it did. John.

You couldn't love me
because you couldn't...

like me.

You know I loved you.

Not like you loved her.

We both know how you love
her, and how you never loved me.

So...

don't... dare come in here...

trying to compare pain.

I don't know what you've done to
your father, but... What I've done to him?

Mom, you saw him last
night. He was an ass.

What's new? He was also nervous.

Nervous? Well,

last night was the first time you've
ever invited us to come meet somebody,

you know, in your life.

And isn't that a good
thing? Of course it is.

Then why did he try to ruin it?

You know, as much
as your father...

wants you... Wants
you to be happy, he...

And he does. He does
want you to be happy.

The idea of losing you... The
idea of somebody else being...

your center...

You know, I think
seeing you with Brian...

I think that was probably
very hard for him.

That not only makes him
selfish, it also makes him a dope.

I-I've grown up, Mother.
What does he think?

That I'm gonna be Daddy's
little girl forever and ever?

Ally, he doesn't think that. Well,
then what are you trying to say, Mom?

I'm trying to say it was hard for him. I
didn't come here to listen to that tone.

What's in this for you?

I beg your pardon?

Well, you tell me that his love for me
preempted his feelings for you, and...

And now you're sitting there
wanting me to work it out with him.

I'd like to know
what's in it for you.

Oh, you... I-I-I... I won't
have you talk to me like that.

Hey, you know, you've
come into my office.

You don't get to sit
there and tell me what

tone I can use or what
I can or cannot say.

I would like to know why the hell
you want me to get along with Dad.

Because he's my only connection,
and... Connection to what?

To you.

To you.

What are you talking about?

You know, whatever,
um, progress we've made,

he is the one you call to
check in with. That isn't true.

I'm your daughter. You don't
need him for me to be your daughter.

I'm your daughter.

As much as... I'm-I'm...
I'm your daughter.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, um...

Okay.

I think I'll just...
I'm gonna go home.

Would you tell, uh...
Would you tell Brian...

how much I enjoyed meeting him?

Sure.

Um, Mom?

Bye.

Bye, honey.

- Ruin the party?

Richard, John, I'm sorry.

I realize I was acting
out of personal pain.

And I also realize I
wasn't fair in a way.

I owe apologies to both of you.

- I understand.
- You do?

Richard, pipe down.

I'm sorry for the
way I hurt you.

May I?

Look, the thing is,

I've always been...
Subzero Nelle.

I met you.

I let my guard
down, and... it hurt.

Wow.

You and Mom... So many visits.

I, uh, wrote you a song.

I didn't need you to
write me a song, Dad.

I needed you to
be kind to Brian.

I wasn't mean to him.

Well, you certainly
weren't excited to meet him.

Or you didn't act
excited for me.

Were you?

Of course I was.

Why aren't you happy for
me, Dad? I-I-I... I don't get it.

I am, sweetheart.

Mom says...

Oh, your... your
mother... No, Mom...

Mom told me once what a
wonderful father you were.

And where you
were most heroic...

is how you raised me to believe
that my dreams could come true,

when yours never did.

You do want my dreams to come
true? You-You-You do want that, right?

Yes.

Well, um, John Cage is having
a birthday party downstairs,

and it's really important
for me to be there.

Yeah. Uh...

You go ahead.

I think I love him, Daddy.

That I'm unable to
share that with you...

You don't know him, Brian.
He cheated on my mother.

This is just the latest in a string
of disappointments. Trust me.

Well, it is my life, and his opinion
of it is not going to affect me.

Well, I can see that.

Well, I'm glad to see that
you're enjoying all of this. Ally,

my father betrayed me
like you wouldn't believe.

Really? What did he do?

He turned out not to be perfect.

I... It's... It's just
that I thought...

that-that he and I,
that-that we had...

I don't know. Something special.

And we don't. We are just
another father and daughter...

who don't communicate anymore.

Maybe that's how it should be.

Okay, listen up.
Uh, first, a toast...

to-to John.

- John.
- Happy birthday.

- Happy Birthday.
- Yeah. Second,

let us re-welcome Nelle.

Uh, I'd like a signed commitment
that all future backstabbing,

lying, stealing, whatever...
You'll do it for us.

- That's funny.
- Yeah. Well, hear, hear.

Um... Whoa. Oh, God. Um...

I just... I just
wanna say that...

I'm just really,
totally... Drunk.

- Gone.
- Uh, John, we've got
a little performance for you.

Nelle, whatever
our relationship is,

I feel we should be
honest with one another.

Can I be totally honest
with you? Yes, John.

I, uh... I really want
you to be. I expect it.

Okay. You have a
little vomit on your nose.

Thank you.

Daddy.

I'm glad you didn't
change the locks, anyway.

What is this? You and Mom,
you... you just keep appearing.

I just, uh...

I am happy for you, sweetheart.

I, uh...

There was no excuse for
me not being at Billy's funeral.

The truth is, I would have
flown to London just to avoid it.

The thought of
seeing you hurt...

Maybe, uh,

if I felt I had some power
to make the hurt go away...

Could I hear the song?

What?

You said that you
wrote a song for me.

Oh, that. Um...
Maybe one day I'll...

I-I'd like to hear it now.

Well, um...

I, uh... I don't think
I remember all of it.

But, uh...

Kind of embarrassing now, you
know, after... Daddy, just play it.
