B Positive (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 13 - A Boss, a Bear Claw and a Defibrillator - full transcript

What'd you buy
at the mall?

Pimento cheese log.

Never disappoints.

Hi, guys.

Welcome to the
Valley Hills party bus.

No music but lots of pills.

How'd the appointment go?Oh, uh...

What was it for? Was it
kidneys? Ticker? What?

Fibromyalgia?

What's that?When you hurt all over.

Oh, I have that.Oh, I got that.



Oh, yeah.

It was for my heart arrhythmia.

All my tests came back normal.

I can go home now.

Nice.
Wow.

Congratulations.Good for you.

Thanks. I'm really excited.

You're the only man here
who knows when he's farting.

Gabby!
What now?

Sorry.

Hit the wrong pedal again.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, come on in.

Close the door.
Ugh.



I'm all sticky.

Okay, fine.

Um...

Before I say anything,

remember: you are not talking
to Gina your friend,

you are talking to
Gina your boss.

Does either Gina have candy
in her desk?

No. Listen, um...

There have been some complaints
about your driving.

If this is about
the kid on the bike,

he was scared, but he was fine.

You have forgotten
to pick up residents.

You drive too fast.

You tried to do donuts
in a church parking lot.

Correction: did do donuts.

And some of the residents
said they never felt more alive.

They said they were lucky
to be alive.

Gabby,

I can't let you drive the van
anymore.

What? No.

I love driving the van.

I'm sorry.
I don't have a choice.

Ow!

What up, G?

Hey, what are you doing?

Well, I need to use
your laundry.

A month on the road really
shows up in the skivvies.

That's upsetting.

That's life.

Jerry! I heard the good news!

Yeah, congratulations!

You finally get to go home.

Can't wait. Tomorrow night
when I plop down on the couch,

I won't have to worry about
sitting on someone's teeth.

I am so happy for you.

Ugh, it never occurred to me

that someone might leave here,
you know, alive.

What're you gonna do first?

I'll probably check in
with my peeps,

go to the city for dinner

and reactivate
the old Tinder account.

Ooh.Uh-oh. Watch out, ladies.

Watch out, everyone.

Got to go pack some things.

Hey, so, uh,
you want to grab lunch later?

I can't. I have to drive the van
this afternoon.

What happened to Gabby?The residents were complaining,

so I told her
she can't drive the van anymore.

C-E-Oh, no, you didn't.

Yeah, but now I have to find
a replacement.

I could do it.

What?
Yeah.

I have van experience.

Plus, old people love me.

They think I'm one of them.

That's because you say things
like "skivvies."

You'd really be willing
to help me out?

It doesn't pay much.

Oh, come on.
You don't need to pay me.

You're letting me live
in your parking lot.

It's the least I could do.

Wow, thank you.

The residents will
never again have to hear,

: "Hang on,
I'm gonna try something."

Oh. On the right is
the Outback Steakhouse

where I had my fifth grade
graduation dinner.

:
Crikey, mate, you're off

to middle school.
Good on you.

Outback?

Australia?

Anybody?

It's nice having a man
drive the van.

Women get too emotional,

on account of their cycles.

Spend enough time with him,
Drew has cycles, too.

Speaking as
an actual old person,

why are you driving like one?

Safety first,
second and third.

Nary a complaint shall be heard.

All right.

Here we are, Jerry,
your condominium,

or as they say in Africa,
"your Congo-minium."

Imagine driving with him

through Intercourse,
Pennsylvania.

Intercourse.

Well...

I hate long goodbyes.

Great, get out.We'll miss you.

Don't forget about us, kid.

Oh, don't worry, I won't.

Don't you forget about me.

No.
Not a chance.

Well...

bye.

Bye.

Sure gonna miss ol'
what's-his-name.

These sign-out sheets are
a mess.

Do you even look
at what people write?

No. Why?

Well, for starters,

there's no one here
named Soupy Sales.

Not anymore.
He signed out.

I'll take those, driver.

Ah, it's Drew.

Stay in your lane.

Would you two ladies help me
pick out one of these dresses

for a special occasion?

Ooh, big date with Spencer?

It's my great-grandson's
baptism.

I want to look doable.

Sure.

What are you doing?
You have to stay here.

If Drew can drive the van,
he can watch the desk.

You know, I was
a hall monitor

for four years
in my high school.

They actually asked me back
first year of college.

Not the brag you think it is.

But fine, come on.

Um, you're taking your meds,
right?

It's a beautiful day
at Valley Hills,

how may I help you?

All right, I'll transfer you.

Hello?

Oh, you're still there.

Um... Just one moment.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Oh, you know,
just helping out,

manning the front desk,
driving the van.

A Drew-of-all-trades,
if you will.
Hmm.

You want to help Mr. Lambert
change his colostomy bag?

Well, not "of all trades."Hmm.

Seniors treating you well?

They're great.
I'm learning a ton.

Did you know that in the 1950s

you could get a banana split
and a shoeshine for a quarter?

Oh, yeah, they love telling
the gay, Black man

how great life was in the '50s.

Hey, we're all getting together

at the Mexican place
across the street

for happy hour after work.
You want to come?

Yeah, I am so in.

Uh, I do have a question.

Do you share chips and guac?

I just feel
that's a bit unsanitary.

You know what? I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Yeah.

It's a beautiful day
at Valley Hills,

how may I help you?

Oh, you got disconnected?

I don't know how that happened.

Um, one moment, please.

Woah, that shot was, like,
from half-court.

Hey, kid.

Are you watching this game?

Yeah, that shot was crazy.

I wanted to see it on replay,

but instead I'm looking
at Ryan Seacrest

eating cotton candy
and winking at the camera.

He does work hard, though.

So, how are things

at Valley Hills?

We had soup for lunch.

Ooh, what kind?

Hot.

I'm trying to watch the game.

Uh, me, too.
I'll-I'll call you back

if it goes into overtime.

I can't wait.

Ditto.

Hey.

You watching the game?

Yeah.

Morning. Good morning!

I got my favorite boss
her favorite drink--

a nonfat,
bone-dry cappuccino.

Ooh, thank you.

I also got her
an assortment of pastries,

including un croissant.

: Or perhaps
a cranberry scone, guv'nah.

I forgot,

you are a lot in the morning.

Actually, I'm a bit tired.

Tough to rouse
the old bag of bones

after getting hit by
the passionfruit margarita bus.

Oh, you went out last night?
With who?

The work crew.

That Bert guy is hilarious.

You ever see him blow bubbles
out of his nose?

So, you guys all went out
for drinks?

Yeah. I got so tipsy,
I almost forgot to floss.

How come no one invited me?

Don't be upset, it's just
a regular Thursday thing.

There's a regular
Thursday thing?

Oh, um...

Well, they probably
just figured you were busy,

being the boss and all.

I am,
but I still want to hang.

I'm sure it was just
an oversight.

Every Thursday night?

Uh-oh.

Somebody needs a bear claw.

So, what do you think?
Does it fit?

The only one left was
a ladies' medium.

It's a little roomy.
You could probably get away

with a ladies' small.

What's up, boss?Hey.

Hi.

Gideon, your rounds should have
started five minutes ago.

Oh, I was just having
my coffee first.

Great, if someone dies

because they didn't get
their meds,

we'll list
the cause of death as:

"I was just having
my coffee first."

Torched.

And you need to refill
the hand sanitizer stations,

unless you're too hungover
from happy hour.

How does she know
about happy hour?

Yeah, that's weird.

I may have said something.

I definitely said something.

Why would you do that?

I thought she was invited.It's an employee hang.

You can't vent about the boss
to the boss.

That's like confiding
in your boyfriend

about the guy
you hooked up with.

You're the one who wanted
an open relationship, Keith.

Uh, come on,

this is Gina.

She's your boss,
but she's also your friend.

If we did invite her,
I bet she'd pick up the check.

We don't really take advantage
of her being rich.

'Cause we're good people.

Well, that stops right now.

Hey, guys!

Oh, there she is.

Thank you so much
for inviting me.

Don't be silly.

We just want to hang
with you.

Yeah, but we can't stay late.

Everybody here is kind of
on a budget.

Gideon, why don't you get us
a couple orders

of shrimp fajitas.

Hell yes!

Um, but seriously,
I can't have shellfish.

Diarrhea, I remember.

Um, so...

what're you guys talking about?

Just getting to know
the new guy.

Heard you're living
in the parking lot.

Oh, just until I figure out
my next move.

FYI,
you ever need to shower,

the sprinklers come on
every night at 2:00 a.m.

Gabby,

I really want tonight to be
like old times.Me, too.

Remember how we'd get hammered
and dance on the bar?

Uh, only reason
I wore underwear.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey! Mmm.

Mmm! Yikes. That is salty.: Yeah.

Oh, you want salty,
you should hear

Althea talk about
her ex-husband.

He slept with my sister.

I'm glad it's funny to you.

Um, Bert, uh,
this reminds me,

I think we should cut back
on the sodium

in the residents' meals.

You got it.

That's salt, right?

Hey, while I have you all,
let's make a mental note

to check the smoke alarms
next week.

It's battery changing season.
What-what!

Gina, we don't usually
talk work here.

Oh, right. Right, right. Sorry.Yeah.

Yeah, um, we're off the clock.

Mm-hmm.Hey, what are you doing
this weekend?

Oh, I'm actually
taking Monday off.

I'm going on a hiking trip
with some friends.

Oh, that sounds great.

Just remember to put in
your time card tomorrow

'cause they're due
on Friday now.

Gabby, you sent that email
to everyone, right?

I could check, but I sent it
from my work computer,

and we're not at work.Hmm.

Starting to feel like it.

So sorry. So, so, so sorry.

Okay.
No more work talk.

This isn't completely
work-related,

but I was thinking about
taking an ad out

for Valley Hills
in the AARP Magazine.

That's the American Association
of Retired People.

What-what.

Spencer,

if you're gonna be my partner,

you got to wear your readers.

I don't need 'em.

Oh, really?

What card is this?

Back up a little.

Hi, guys.

Hey, kiddo.Hey, Jerry.

So, you gave my spot to Bert?

Yeah, we needed a fourth.

I'm just learning the game.

Yet somehow you've won
every hand.Dumb luck.

Yeah, unless you're hustling us.

Which one do you think it is?

It's up to you, Spencer.

Oh, dear,
I hope this is right.

All right, guys,
good seeing you.

I'm gonna go check out
the action in the day room.

See if I can rustle up
a game of Yahtzee.

See you, guys.

We'll see ya.Hearts? Anybody?

All right...

Oh, poop.

Whoa, Jerry!

Hey, what happened
to you guys last night?

Why did you take off so early?

Oh, I, uh, got a text
from my landlord.

My apartment flooded, uh,
from the bathtub right above it.

No way! Me, too!

Okay. What's going on?

Well, no offense,

but you kind of turned the night
into a staff meeting.

I thought that, too!

No, I didn't.

You talked about
time cards, Gina.

Time cards.

And exciting new breakthroughs
in catheter hygiene.

So, I mentioned a couple
work things. No big deal.

It's all you care about anymore.

Well, I'm sorry
I'm worried about 25 people

who could drop dead
at any second.

Not you guys,
you're doing great.

That's fine, but...

when's the last time
we really hung out,

or you called
to just catch up?

Oh, God!
That's Norma's alert.

Spencer and Harry's, too.

Is everything okay?
What happened?

Jerry fainted.

It must be my arrhythmia.

We should get you
to a hospital.I'll drive.

No!

I don't need to go
to the hospital.

I can see my doctor tomorrow.

Oh, you shouldn't be alone
tonight.

Uh, why don't you
just stay here?

Your old room is still empty.

I guess,
if you think that's best.GINA: Yeah.

Welcome back to Shawshank, kid.

Come on. I'll walk you.There you go.

You got it?You all right?

Yeah.All right.

You still think I care too much
about work?

I care about the residents.

I care more.

I got the defibrillator.

Jerry's okay.

Oh, good.

Anybody want to try
this baby on me?

Hey, Gina.

Gina?

What? Oh, h-hi.

You okay?

You're staring into that fire
like you want to jump in.

Oh...

You don't want to hear it.

Normally, but for you
I'll make an exception.

It's just...

My friends don't get
how hard my job is.

I can't just turn it off
to go hang.

Mm-hmm.

Did I ever tell you about
the body shop I owned?

I don't think so.

Yeah, I opened it right
after Beth was born.

I was terrified
that I would fail,

so I-I pretty much
lived there.

See, you get it.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I couldn't...

I couldn't think of
anything else, do anything else,

and sometimes I even
slept in my office.

I fell asleep in my car
a few weeks ago.

I woke up
in the middle of the night

and saw Bert showering
in the sprinklers.

He's an odd bird.

Anyway,

so, about a year later,

I came home one night
and Meredith was gone.

Took Beth
and went to her sister's.

Didn't she understand you were
just trying to build a business?

No, she was trying to get
my attention.

See, I was so consumed
with providing for my family

that I... I forgot I had one.

But, uh, you still had
responsibilities.

You couldn't just walk away
from the shop.

No, no, no, but...

but a few nights a week,

I made sure that I'd be home
for dinner.

And Sundays were
for Beth and Meredith.

So, you see,
I found a balance.

Hmm. You know,

when you're willing to talk,

you're, uh,

you're actually
pretty good at it.

You know the old saying:

"I may have been born yesterday,

but I stayed up late
last night."

Uh, would you, uh,
like some wine?

No, no, no. I don't
want to mix wine

with my bourbon.

Nice shot.
Thanks.

I put a little English on it.

Uh, that's still okay to say,
right?

I think so.

So, Jerry,

I had a doctor look
at the EKG we did for you.

Your heart rhythms
are totally normal.

Really?DREW: Yeah.

It must've been
something else.

I mean, obviously
you didn't faint for no reason.

That's interesting.

I'll schedule
a doctor's appointment

and get to the bottom of it.

Jerry.

Tell Gideon what's going on.

And also tell Drew.

I was lonely at my place.

I missed everybody.

So you pretended to faint
to stay here?

I really like Valley Hills.

I learned to play boccie.

I take art classes.

I have friends,
and not just on Xbox.

I understand that, but you need
to tell Gina the truth.

Yeah, I'm sure she'd love
for you to stay.

You don't think it's weird
that a 59-year-old

wants to stay
in a retirement home?

Oh, it's definitely weird.

But one thing I learned
while living on the road is,

you got to do
what makes you happy.

Wh-What if
what makes you happy is

socially unacceptable
and possibly illegal?

You want to elaborate on that?

No, he doesn't.

Welcome back, Jerry.

Yeah, welcome back.

You wanted to see us?

Oh, yeah, come on in.

Um, sit down.

Okay.

Um...

Where do I start?

It was Gideon's idea
to rig the bingo game.

Seriously?

You're just gonna throw me
under the bus?

I need this job.

I owe people money.

Bad people.

Let's table that
for another day.

I just want to apologize
to you both.

Oh.

I've been so wrapped up
in being a boss that...

I haven't been
a very good friend.

So going forward,

I'm really gonna try hard to...

find balance.

Thanks.

I love you, and I want you
to be part of my life.

Me, too.

Bring it in.

Gabby, you really got
to wear a bra.
