Another Period (2013–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Modern Pigs - full transcript

It's Frederick and Celery's wedding day. Feeling the urge for morphine again, Dodo wants to ensure she doesn't do anything improper to risk "getting rid" of Frederick after all these years. But in Dodo's move, she may be at the mercy of Chair, as Dodo is one of the last people Chair has to get rid of to get what she wants. Lillian and Beatrice are still out on the street with Garfield, the three who are trying to get back to Bellacourt Manor to stop the wedding. Lillian has to resort to extreme measures to make it on time. But something else happens that could forever change the Bellacourts' standing within Newport.

We are engaged.

Please, frederick,
don't do this.

I hope we can still
be brother and sister.

Ah!

[all shouting]

Albert.

No one will ever replace you.

- I feel like ten bucks.
- Oh, mother.

How long are you going
to bring up your miraculous

Liberation from drug addiction?

You sucked my [bleep], madam.



[gasps]

The press is coming.

Scoops lepue.

So nice to meet
a fellow writer.

This little fellow's tabu.

Won him in a game
of karinki.

I am yours.

Forever.

- No, I'm good.
- No, thank you.

Thank you, though.

Feeding your fish
to the commodore?

I'm gonna blackmail
the shit out of her.

What do you want?
[gasps]

I want the house.



We'd love to induct you

As a member
of newport's clam bake club.

[screaming]

[laughter]

[sobbing]

Lillian and beatrice
have gone missing.

Those stupid bitches
are stealing our rickshaw.

Bye.

So tell me about yourself,
frederick.

Well, I still wet the bed.

And sometimes I brown it too.

There'll be plenty of times
to work out the kinks, my dear.

Yes. Our whole lives.
Yay.

Can I say,
I adore young couples in love.

- And our readers will too.
- Well, then.

I'm sure they will also

Love reading the biggest damn
merger marriage in history.

His steel and my magnets.

That's goddamn science.

Commie, you old tit.

[laughter]

[grunting]

(harold) when I started,
I was a simple fur trapper.

Look at me now.

My son will be married
into the most powerful family

On the eastern seaboard.

Never again will they say,

"you won't amount to anything,

Harold bellawitcz."

I mean, bellacourt.

Someday, celery,
that will be you and I.

[upbeat percussive music]

♪ ♪

Peepers, it's been
a very stressful day,

With the nuptials and all.

I've been having
certain cravings.

I understand, madam,
but I think it's best

If we avoid becoming physical
with one another again.

No, you fool.

For morphine.

Right. Of course.

That's what I was referring to.

What were you referring to?

I was referring to morphine.

Don't know what you were
referring to at all.

What shall be done?

You must strap me into the
sobriety flat until the wedding.

[grunts]

It took me years
to marry off that useless boy.

I don't want to do anything
today to jeopardize it.

But, oh, I want a hit
of the good stuff so badly,

I'd stuck it out of a sailor's
salt lick if I had to.

For safety, madam.

I'll undo you when it's time
for the vows.

Ah. There you are.

My rum money's getting
a little thin.

[chuckles]

I just love the taste
of blackmail.

And I'm not talking
about scott joplin.

[laughs]

[yelps]

Did you just grab
your stomach?

Holy shit.

Are you pregnant?

You got a little commodore baby
in there?

Choke on your own dick.

If you're not pregnant,
let me punch you in the stomach.

Why would I
let you punch me?

I knew it.

You are pregnant.

[chuckles]

I've decided
to refinance our deal.

'cause dodo don't like it

When servants spread their legs
for her husband.

And I just love
telling dodo secrets.

Wait.

What?

What you you mean "what"?

- You tell her secrets?
- I'm--

You tell her secrets?

No, no, I--I,
well, sometimes.

Look.

I want to blackmail you
for more money because,

Uh, you're pregnant
with her husband's child,

And she doesn't know that.

And if she knew that,
that would be very bad for you.

Does that make sense?

It was a bit longwinded.

Well, which part,

The explaining
or the thing before it?

I got the end part,

But I didn't understand
the beginning at all.

Oh. Okay.

Well, damn it.

Uh, maybe--maybe
I'm not being clear here.

Go back to the dodo part.

Dodo is married
to the commodore, right?

[cheery percussive music]

♪ ♪

What are you doing in here?

I didn't ring for you.

You don't need to ring for me.

I come whenever, wherever,
and with whomever I want.

You insolent wench.

Put your face next to my hand
so that I can slap it.

[glass shatters]

[gasps]

What are you doing?

I think you should give in
to those cravings.

Why not?

No, that's too much.
It'll kill me.

- No.
- [grunts]

You'll be alive enough to see
me take everything you've got.

Just alive enough.

(lillian)
faster, faster!

This is an important day.

- Don't you understand that?
- Go, garfield.

- We need to get there. Go.
- Go, garfield.

I don't want
to miss the wedding.

Stick them up.

[all scream]

You two.

Aren't you ponzi's
indentured child servant?

No. I make my living
carriage-jacking now.

What do you want, tabu?

We don't have any spices
and we're in a hurry.

Allow me to accompany you
and you'll come to no harm.

I only want a warm place
to stay and to serve you.

- No, thank you.
- I don't think so.

I have cocaine wine.

All right,
you're pleased to join us.

Oh! Mm-hmm.
Hop aboard.

You just couldn't stay away,

And here you are injecting
yourself with poison.

What are you telling me?

- What are you saying?
- No.

- What, you didn't do this?
- No.

Dodo, did somebody
do this to you?

Who did this to you?
Tell me who did--the wallpaper?

The wainscoting?

No? The settee?

The rodin sculpture?

The triceratops fossil?

The gold pelican vase?

The zulu hunting spear?

Chair.

Have you counted

Chair gave it to me.

She's in the meat locker.

All I ever wanted
was to be a servant.

As a little boy,
I dreamed of eating gruel

And scrubbing the anuses
of the very rich.

I'd sneak to the latrines
of the great houses of newport,

Stick my head into a trench,
take a deep sniff,

And think, "someday."

And I served with pride
at bellacourt manor

Only to be tossed
into the streets like a beggar!

All right.
We understand you have feelings.

Now take us home, garfield.

Now, jarfeld!

I no longer work for you.

If you want my help, you're
going to have to say "please."

Never.

That was the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.

What a functional wedding
that was,

That just happened
one moment ago.

Congratulations, or whatever.

And now it's time
for the mother-son dance.

That's you.
