B Positive (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Baseball, Walkers and Wine - full transcript

Hey. I have fresh-baked
cookies for everyone.

Not for me.

I'm slimming down
for bikini season.

It's October.

I like to get a running start.

GINA:
Cookie?

Down, boy.

What? Sorry, is it my turn?

You know, you're not
fooling anybody.

Every time
she walks in the room,

you get the same stupid look
on your face.



I do not.

Why don't you just ask her out?

It's complicated.

Our friendship is-is every bit

important to me...
Wimp.

You know, it's hateful
when my daughter calls me that.

I won't take it from you.

Is that so?

Bluff called.

Cookie?

Oh, thank you, sweetheart.

Oh, for God's sakes,
she's not your sweetheart.

Her name is Gina.

You don't mind if I call you
sweetheart, do you, honey?



Well, it's not my favorite...

You're patronizing her.

She's just too nice
to stand up for herself.

GINA:
Well, actually,

I can take care of..."Sweetheart" is a compliment

that men pay to women
when they like them.

It might be new to you.

Oh, so when I call you
"jackass,"

that can be a compliment, too.

You know what's wrong
with broads like you?

No, but I know what's wrong
with misogynistic Neanderthals

who believe
that a woman's self-worth

is tied to what men
think of her.

That's a great ass.

[exhales]

Hey.

Morning.

Got you coffee.

Thanks.

It's a little creepy,
you watching me sleep.

What are you talking about?

I was reading the CNN
on the phone.

Yeah, what's going on?

Oh, everything's bad.
The whole world is...

[exhales] You know, you could go
eat breakfast with the others.

You don't have to be here
all the time.

I know, but then
I'd have to talk to them.

Oh, Harry, what happened to you?

[knocking on door]

I'm fine. It's...

Other people, they're the worst.

Good morning.
Welcome to Wednesday.

Hump Day.

Need I say more?

Um, I got your new meds.

You're supposed to take
one tablet

three times a day with meals.

Thank you.HARRY:
That's right,

I'll put a reminder
on my phone here.

I won't forget.Uh, the phone is better

at remembering.

[sighs]
Would you go to the dining room

and get me a muffin?

I'll get you some fruit.

I don't want fruit.

You're getting fruit.

[door closes]

You hear him?

He's worried about
how much sugar I eat.

You two are so cute.

Yeah, we're Beyoncé
and what's-his-name.

Listen, I need a favor.

Oh, anything.

Ever since I got sick,

Harry's whole world has
been about taking care of me.

Well, he loves you.

And I love him.

Please get him out of here.

Okay, um...

Ugh, any suggestions?

I don't know, he likes going to
the minor league baseball games.

Maybe you can find
somebody to take him?

Maybe. Is there a dating app
for cranky old men?

Whatever you got to do.
I need a break.

I'm on it.Thanks.

Oh, um...

It's Jay-Z.

What is?
Beyoncé's husband.

That's right. I like him.

He looks like he can
deliver the mail.

Yes, I would expect he can.

I'll take care of it.

Hey, Althea,

have you seen Gabby or Gideon?

They're outside smoking pot.

Man. It is 9:00 a.m.

It's called "wake and bake."

I know what it's called.Of course you do.

Until a few weeks ago, you
reeked of Febreze and Doritos.

Yeah, well, I am management now.

And we're all rooting for you.

[phone ringing]

Hey, kidney buddy.

Okay, you can't tell me not
to say it and then you say it.

I saved your life.
I can say whatever I want.

Fair enough.

Hey, I was wondering if
I could take you out to dinner

to celebrate you buying
Valley Hills?

Yeah, I'd love that.

[laughs]

Saturday?

Yeah, that'd be great.

Oh, hey, while I have you,
can I ask you a favor?

Your wish is my command, milady.

Dost thou need help
moving a cumbersome sofa?

I need you to take Harry
to a baseball game.

A baseball game?

That's gonna be outside, right?

Please. You'll be
saving a marriage.

I guess.

It's just the mosquitos,
they love me.

My mother used to say
it was because I was so sweet.

[chuckles]

So you'll do it?Sure.

And we're on for our date?
I-I mean, it's not a date date.

It's a friendly dinner date.

I have a baseball date
with Harry.

Which one's gonna be crazier?
Let's find out.

Bye, Drew.

Thank you for ending
this conversation.

Really?

Just exhale.

You I expect this from, but you?

I'm sorry.

I'm going through some stuff.

We're all going through
some stuff, but that doesn't...

Xander left me
for his spin instructor,

and I just needed something
to take the edge off.

And this shizzle is working.

W-Why would you expect it
from me?

I used to get high
with you every day.

That's fair.

Gideon, I am sorry about Xander.
He was a beautiful man,

but we all know
that pastry chefs can be fickle.

Moving forward,

I need you both to leave your
personal problems at home, okay?

It will not happen again.

Yeah, sure.

[device beeping]

[gasps]
Oh, no. It's Norma's alert.

Do you know Xander didn't even
want to take that spin class?

I made him.

Oh, my God, are you okay?

Do I look okay?

GIDEON:
Don't move.

I'll call the EMTs.

No, no, I don't need them.
Just help me up.

Okay, nice and slow.[grunts]

Did you hit your head?

No, just mostly landed
on my ass.

Nature's airbag.

You're free to leave.

Norma, I know you don't
want to hear this,

but if you are not
gonna get the hip surgery,

then you have to use the walker.

Those things are for old people.

Who wants to tell her?

Have you had breakfast?

Not yet.All right,

you guys go
get her something to eat.

I'll stay here.

Girl, we got to stop
getting high on the job.

Why?

Norma, I'm on your side.

I just want you to be safe.

I know you do, sweetheart.
Thank you.

So you'll use your walker?

No.

Why does it smell
like a reggae concert in here?

New wig?

Thank you for noticing.

Matches the carpet,
if you know what I mean.

How's the chicken?

Under-seasoned, overcooked.

I was gonna get that,
but I got salmon instead.

And?I'm filled with regret.

Would you like some chicken?

You just said it was no good.

It isn't. Would you like some?

I'll take a bite.

[door closes]

Hey, Bette, glad I got you.

Hold on.

[spits]

Go ahead.

Yeah, I just wanted to apologize
for yesterday.

Oh.

Well, thank you, Spencer.

Yeah. I'm sorry
you got so upset.

Wait, you're sorry I got upset,

you're not sorry
you were a jerk?

Here we go.

Now I got to apologize
for the way I apologized?

You didn't actually apologize.

Did he just apologize?He did not.

Who asked you?She did.

And she couldn't
have been more clear.

I said I was sorry.

For me being upset.
You're making it all my fault.

This is a load of crap.

I said I'm sorry.
What more do you want me to say?

Actually, I'd prefer it
if you took a vow of silence.

It's really a top-notch ass.

"The Hartford Yard Goats."

"Watch out for us,
we'll eat your trash."

[chuckles]

You done?

I also noticed that,
for a Double-A team,

they're not using
any batteries. [chuckles]

I am done.

UMPIRE:
Ball one!

This may be the one
and a half light beers talking,

but I am enjoying myself.

Hey.
The sun,

the smell of the grass,
the guy shouting,

[old-timey accent]: "Popcorn,
get your popcorn here."

MAN:
Two popcorn.

[regular accent]:
Oh, no, sorry,

I'm just doing
a funny impression.

Don't have popcorn.

Oof. Embarrassing.

Although, a testament
to my improvisational skills.

Just watch the game.

Yes, sir.UMPIRE: Strike two!

The fellow at third base,

speaking sign language,
who is he talking to?

The batter.

Is he deaf?

Yeah.

Wow. [chuckles]UMPIRE: Ball three.

What a human interest story.
That should be a movie.

Or better yet, a podcast.

Was your dad a traveling
salesman, away from home a lot?

No. Why?

You seem like a kid who spent
a lot of time with his mother.

She wasmy best friend.

UMPIRE:
We got a full count.

So when are you gonna work up
the balls to ask Gina out?

I'm happy to answer your
question, but know that I hear

the condescension
in your choice of words.

Congratulations.

So, when?

As a matter of fact,

I'm taking her
to dinner this weekend.UMPIRE: Time out.

Really?
Yes.

You don't give me enough credit,
but I do have game.

Well, that's-that's
good to hear.

And not that
it's any of your business,

but it is my intention to let
her know how I feel about her,

to put my baseballcards
on the table.

There you go.[bat cracks]

[cheering, applause]

Whoa. That was close.

You have no idea. Here.

Go ahead.
Really?

Yeah.
Huh.

Do you fellas need this back?

Yeah, that's right, Mindy.
I'm on a walker.

Keep moving.

MEREDITH:
It's open.

Hey.

What's up?

Well, I'm going to the dining
room for coffee and cake.

I should be there
in about three hours.

Would you like to join me?

Sure. Hang on.

Take your time. No rush.

Man, this could have killed me.

Maybe it did and we're in hell.

Who you calling?

Meredith. Just reminding
her to take her pills.

It's voice mail.

Meredith, i-it's me.

Please, take your pills.
Don't forget, okay?

Um, and, uh, call me
back when you get this.

VENDOR:
Peanuts! Get your peanuts here!

Mm, peanuts.

Did you know that just one could
cause me uncontrolled vomiting,

diarrhea and death?
[chuckles]

Yeah, well, you're
a delicate flower.

That is exactly what
my mother used to call me.

She's not answering
my texts, either.UMPIRE: Ball two.

Let's go.

What? Why?

Something's wrong.
We-we got to leave.

Okay.

Sorry. Pardon me.

Look, I got a ball.
[chuckles]

I'm sure she's fine.

No, she always
answers the phone.

[door beeps]

Where the hell is she?

Meredith?

[mutters]:
Come on.

Mer...
[sighs]

Son of a bitch.

Oh, this is so good.

[laughs] That's because
they don't make it here.

Harry gives me such a hard time
about my diet.

And I'm like, "Hey, who cares?
I've got cancer."

What's the prognosis?

Stage IV.

How many stages are there?

Four.

I'm sorry.

Well...

You're not doing
too well, either, huh?

Oh, this is nothing.
They can fix it.

So why don't you?

I'm too busy
feeling sorry for myself.

Been there.

Thank God.

Why the hell didn't you
pick up your phone?

Fine. How are you?

I was calling, I was texting,
you didn't answer.

I left my phone in the room.

But you can't do that.
I have to know where you are.

Relax. I took my meds,
everything's fine.

Come on, let's get you
back to bed. Come on.

I'm having cake with my friend.

Hello.HARRY:
Hello, hello.

Um, so, you're feeling okay?

Yes, I'm having a good day.
You can stop hovering.

I'm not hovering. I'm concerned.

You're like a helicopter.
A very old helicopter.

Well, excuse me
for giving a damn.

You, have something
you want to say?

Oh, I...

I caught a baseball.

All right, everybody, buckle up.

I'm not real good at this.

Hot date?
Who's the unlucky woman?

They're for my wife's grave.

Oh, I'm sorry.

How did I not know
you'd been married?

Maybe because your life's
the only one

you pay attention to.

Maybe.

When did she pass?

She's been gone five years now.

So, uh, birthday,
your anniversary?

Neither. Jackie and I--
Jackie was my wife--

we always liked

to watch the sunset together.

Every so often I still try.

That's very sweet.

She was a helluva broad.

Took care of me
a long time when I was hurt.

What happened?

I was a transit cop in New York.

Broke my back on the job.

Oh, my God, that's awful.

Wasn't great. A lot of rehab.

Had to learn to walk again.

But could've been worse.

A bunch of my friends didn't
make it home at all that day.

"That day"? You mean...?

South Tower.

Jackie put up

with me through it all.

Believe it or not,
I canbe high maintenance.

[Gabby sniffles]

I'm sorry, I...

I got an American hero

bringing flowers
to his dead wife

so they can watch
the sunset together.

I'm gonna have to pull over.

Ooh. This is a nice
change of pace.

Glad you like it.

Mm, it's pretty. Very romantic.

[chuckles]
Is it? I didn't even notice.

Well, as long as we don't
talk about Medicare Part D,

or why your grandkids
can't pick a damn gender,

I'm loving it.

Well, uh... Oh.

There is something
I would like to talk about.

Shoot.

Okay. No risk it, no biscuit.

Gina, I can't even begin to say
how much you've changed my life.

I am a different person,

a better person because of you.

Oh, Drew. I feel the same way.

You bring out the best in me.

That's great to hear.

Because there's something

I've been wanting
to tell you

ever since I woke up
from the surgery...

You have got to be kidding me.

I am, I'm totally kidding.
[laughs]

It's Eli.

You've got to be kidding me.

You know what? You know what?
We're broken up.

He's allowed
to have dinner with a...

supermodel, or some
kind of sex robot.

Let's just order.
They don't even see us.

Oh, here they come. Hi.

Hey.[chuckles]
Hey, there.

[laughter]

Hey, didn't expect
to see you guys here.

Small world, huh?

Maybe for you two.
You're both giants.

[laughs]

Uh, Drew Dunbar.
Nice to meet you.

Camille. Hi.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Um, Camille, this is Gina.

She and I, um...

This is Gina.

I'm Gina.

[chuckles]Uh, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too!

Okay, well, you guys
enjoy your dinner.

Good to see you both.

Good to see you.Good to see you!

Are you okay?

I will be.

Oh, oh, that's more of
a sipping wine, but all right.

Now let's get some
alcohol in this bitch!

[grunts] Okay.Alexa, turn lights on!

I don't know why I said that.

I don't have an Alexa.

[laughs]

Let's get you on the couch.

Oh, it's such a good couch.
It's long.

Like Eli's girlfriend.

[chuckles]

There you go.
[exhales]

I'm, uh, sorry
about that whole thing.

It's okay. You know, I just...

I thought that he'd call
and we'd work it out and...

But I guess
I'm just, um...

I guess I'm just the type
of girl that you date

until you find somebody better.

Oh, come on. There's
nobody better than you.

Just longer.[chuckles]

Sure.

I just wish that, you know,
I could find a guy who...

who gets me.

Accepts me

for me.
[chuckles]

You'll find that guy.

Will I?

Absolutely.

And he'll appreciate
how amazing you are,

and how much happiness
you bring to other people.

Drew?
Yeah?

I think I found that guy.

[grunts softly]

This is a bad idea.

Why?
Because you've had
a lot to drink.

I disagree to agree.

I have had exactly
the right amount.

Water.

Hang on.

I keep tasting shrimp.

Did I have shrimp?
No.

Oh, that's not good.

Look, uh,

I've been wanting to say
something for a while now,

but I'm not sure
if it's the right time.

This is the right time.

Okay.

Well, you're wonderful.

You're more than
wonderful, really.

And I've been wanting
to say this for weeks,

but every time I try,
I lose the nerve.

The truth is...

I love you, Gina.

Gina?

You still there?

Perfect.
