Californication (2007–2014): Season 6, Episode 6 - In the Clouds - full transcript

Previously on Californication...

- How's school?
- Dad, I told you.

I'm not going.
I'm working on a novel.

What are you gonna
fill a novel with?

Life, love, sex, death.

What do you know
about any of those things?

Move it along, groupie,
and take him with you.

You watch your tongue,
you filthy mongrel.

This is Faith.

Have a look and grasp

the cosmic importance
of this lovely young lady.



Without her, there'd be
no rock and roll.

Tony talked about you all the time.

He said that you had an uncanny ability

to suck killer riffs out of him.

I'm sorry I was such a bitch.

God, I'm--I'm so sorry
I fucked your husband.

But you haven't nailed it yet.

'Cause I could be the hammer.

I'm in the middle

of an epic shit storm right now.

I fired my manager last week,

and I'm all out of cocaine.

Might you be in the market

for new representation?



If you can get me some Peruvian flake,

I'll maybe think about
throwing you in the mix.

Here you go, rock star asshole.

It would be an honor
to work with both of you.

See you bright and early tomorrow...

afternoon.

♪ ♪

Becca.

I think it's time, Becca.

For what?

Time you stop this funny business

and went back to school.

No, I'm not doing that.

What are you doing?

I'm living the life of an artist.

Okay, I got it, but what--
what does that mean

to you, exactly?

Because there's a lot more,
little missy,

to being an artist than just

altering your consciousness
on a daily basis.

I know, which is why I'm writing

on a daily basis.

You are?

Uh, how many pages you got?

I'm closing in on three hundy.

Whew. I'm jealous.

I'm going to finish it, dad.

My first novel.

I hate you.

Do you want to know
how many boys I've slept with?

Oh, no!
No, no.

That's disgusting.

I'm going through
an extremely slutty phase

right now.

Uh, will you do me a favor and take this

and just hit me over the head with it

as hard as you can?

I won't get mad, I promise.

I just want to experience everything

while I still can, you know?

Every taste, every smell.

[Shuddering]

Stop gagging.
You're not my father right now.

You're my artistic guidance counselor.

You can't judge me.

Well, your mom, she can judge you,

and she is judging you,
and she's worried about you.

She's got way too many issues
to handle this shit.

She thinks I'm headed down your path.

What's so bad about that?

That's exactly what I said.

That's my girl.

Okay, well, I'm not judging you.

But, Becca, promise me that
you'll just keep it simple.

You know, get your drink on,
keep the pages coming,

smoke a little peaches and herb even,

but stay away from the hard stuff.

And--and no more of that
tasting and smelling.

That's--that's--
that's disgusting.

What about blowjobs?
[Footsteps approach]

[Coughs]

Hank! Hank!
We gotta go!

Thank God. Charlie,
I will go anywhere with you.

You know why?
Because my daughter

is asking me about blowjobs.

Where we off to?

Atticus needs you
aboard Air Force 69

right this very now.

That sounds exhausting.

He's like a retarded
rock and roll puppy, that guy.

Will you blow him off for me?

No, I won't blow him off.
I can't do that.

I won't do that.
He's my biggest client, Hank.

I'm sorry, but he is.
How many records have you sold?

Are you wearing eye shadow, Charlie?

- Hello, Becca.
- Charlie.

I have to take your father

- away from you now.
- Take him.

Get him out of my sight.

Do you guys mind if I crash here,

do some writing,
maybe have a few people over?

Whatever you need.
I got alcohol.

I got pornography.
I got pictionary.

[Smack]

Have fun.

Welcome aboard Air Force 69,

Really?

Atticus makes us say this shit.

But we will make out

Oh, okay.

Hmm.

Krull, the English Danish.

What's shakin', Magic Mountain?

Here, show me so love.

No love, no love.

Kruller, this is Charlie Runkle.

I've got my eye on you, the both of you.

All right?

Good talking.

[Cacophonous chords]

♪ ♪

Hank.

Thank you for coming.

Why am I here?

- I've got nothing.
- What do you mean?

Do you know how much money
they're paying me

to write the music
for this bloody fucking thing?

No, I don't.

More money than you'll
ever see in your lifetime.

Hey, I've made a fair amount
of cabbage in my day.

Aww, how cute.

Your proletariat hopes and dreams.

Do you know how many songs I've written

for this venture of ours?

No, but, uh,

why don't you tell me?

Zero.

Zero point zero fucking zero.

- That doesn't sound good.
- It isn't fucking good.

- It's bloody terrible.
- It's also not true.

You played a song for me
at your party the other night.

I wrote that when I was 12 years old.

I was trying to recycle it.

That's probably why
it sounded so shitty.

Fuck you.
Wasn't too shitty for the judges

of my year nine talent contest.

What am I doing here?

Hank.

I need you, Hank.

I need to get at the heart
of this love story.

I need you to open a vein for me.

I've been rich and famous
for so long now

that I don't think I know what it means

to be a human being anymore.

You're real, Hank.
You're--you're a real man.

You're a--you're a man
who loves a woman

who doesn't love you back.

She loves me back.
What--it's complicated.

I love my wife.
She loves me.

We're together.
It's not that complicated.

- You fuck other women.
- That's different.

How so?

Do you urinate, Hank?

Do you defecate?

There are elements in the human body

that need to take flight.

Ejaculate's just one of them.

Right, that's what masturbation is for.

Ew, no.
Masturbation?

Masturbation's for the poor,
the downtrodden,

the silent unfuckables.

I walk down the street
and women present themselves.

They want to extract my fluids.

It's an honor and a privilege, Hank.

What--what sort of asshole
would refuse such a kindness?

- What about your old lady?
- What about her?

What about her needs?

Wives are different.

They don't rub themselves raw
like we do.

They're ladies.

All right, well, you seem
to have it all figured out.

- I'll be on my way.
- No, please.

Please stay.

I am flying to New York

to play my music
for the Broadway producers.

But you have no music.

Which is why we need
to hammer the story out.

Once I know the story,

the music will--
will pour out of me

like a chunky hailstorm of shit

after a night of Dutch curry.

- [Coughs]
- Speaking of which,

I have got to drop the kids off
at the pool

before I soil my leathers.

These pants? $7,000.

It's good to be the king.

Make yourself comfortable, Hank.

There's pizza and...
cocaine and...

apple juice.

Hello, sweetheart.

Hello, Hank.

Mrs. Fetch.

Or perhaps I should say
Mrs. Fetching.

[Both chuckle politely]

I've been wanting to have
a word with you.

Regarding?

An extramarital affair.

- Oh, my.
- Mm.

I know my husband
fucks around on the road.

- You do?
- Mm-hmm.

But we have an agreement.

Are you sure?

Well, we've never actually discussed it,

but I have needs too, you know.

That's what I said.

I mean, that--
that's totally understandable.

Would you like to take care
of those needs, Hank?

Me? Uh, why me?

'Cause.

This whole rock-and-roll
idiot man-child shit

gets old.

I need a-a real man
from the real world.

Are you man enough
to be that real, Hank?

I-I-I don't think so.

I mean, in fact, you should speak

to my estranged better half.

She would tell you that I fall

more into the idiot man-child
category.

Karen? She speaks
the world of you.

- Really?
- Yeah.

That's sweet.
What does she say?

Enough about Karen.

[Sighs]

Isn't it weird, though,
because she works for you?

I'm paying Karen to remodel my home.

If she thinks she can expect
more than a paycheck

for her services, fuck her.

- Wow.
- All's fair, Hank.

I see you and your husband have

the same twisted sense of entitlement.

That's--it's actually
kind of cute.

I don't want to twist your arm, but, um,

I'd like to take your hand here

and shove it up my skirt.

[Footsteps approach]

- Ow.
- Yum, yum.

You making a play on the boss's wife?

You've got no fucking shame.

Kruller, it is not what it looks like.

I'm just meat. Man meat.
You know how that goes.

You know.

Gimme an excuse, pal.

You won't even hear me coming.

Pfft, pfft.

I'll slice them fucking cheeks
wide open.

They'll be flapping about like the sails

on the H.M.S. Bounty.

See what a fucking charmer
you are then, son.

What are you doing?

What's it look like I'm doing?
I'm getting ready for takeoff.

What's wrong with you?
You're sweating like a pig.

You know what a nervous flier I am.

No, I don't.
I've never flown with you.

That's because I never fly, Hank.

It scares the shit out of me.

What's supposed to keep this whole thing

from just falling into the ocean?

Well, for one, we're going to New York.

There is no ocean.

That's even worse!

Certain death!

Okay, just buck up,
buddy-boy.

This shit is too weird for me.
I'm out.

Hank. H-Han--Hank!

Hank.

Hey.

[Kissing]

Hey yourself.

You just can't stay away
from me, can you?

What are you doing here, Hank?

Oh, my presence was requested
by the king of pop-tarts.

- Same.
- Oh, I get it.

He's in the market
for a new muse, is that it?

Who says I'm interested?

Well, you're here, aren't you?

Maybe I heard you were gonna be here.

Maybe you did.
Did you?

Maybe.

Maybe I just came with a friend.

[Clatter]
Oh, Jesus Christ.

No, I've got it.

I've got it.
I'm fine.

- Frank!
- Widow.

- Oh, call me Trudy.
- Okay.

Beautiful.

You had your dick in me mouth, remember?

Of course.
Who could forget?

Oh, he's got a nice rig on him, he does.

He could foam the fucking runway
with that thing.

- Good to know.
- So you guys are BFFs now?

Yeah.

We've certainly got a lot in common, no?

Been riding the same
disco stick and all.

Mm? Pbbt, pbbt.

Staying or going?

Staying or going, Hank?

All right, favorite Radiohead album.

Oh, that's easy.
None of them.

That shit's way too cool for me.

- Oh, fuck off.
- No.

All right, here's one for you.

[Squealing softly]

Side two, track three,
Houses of the Holy,

by a little band they like to call

the Led Zeppelin.

Mm, No Quarter.

You're good.
You are good.

You have no idea.

I inherited a dead uncle's
vinyl collection

and spent years in my childhood bedroom

just listening to records.

Hmm. Is that all?

Hmm?

I will have you know, Hank,

that I was a very good
little catholic schoolgirl.

- Oh.
- Up to a point.

Oh, are you--
are you trying turn me on?

Do--have you given any further
thought to, you know, what--

To what?

You know, you said you could
do something with me,

bring my best work out of me.

You said that you could be the hammer

that would help me to ♪ nail it ♪

I'm not sure, Hank.

Something tells me
you're a little more trouble

than you're worth.

[Sighs] No, no, no, no, no, no.

I-I can wax on and wax off
with the best of them,

Mrs. Miyagi.

Atticus would like a word with you.

Ugh. Okay.

Not you, sweetheart.

I told you he wanted to get
in your knickers.

Well, it's not as easy as it looks.

Yeah, don't I know it.

[Sniffing]

Whoa.
Groovy bedroom, dude.

This is not a bedroom.

This is my very own erotic chapel.

Mm.

That doesn't sound
the slightest bit creepy.

- The answer is yes.
- Sorry?

I would very much like to enter

into a relationship with you,

one based solely on sexual pleasure

and the transference of inspiration.

[Laughs] I'm sorry, Atticus,

but the answer is no.

Tony said that you were like a miracle.

When you came into his life,

he was blocked and bloated
and strung out

on China white,

and two days later,

he had a double album's worth
of material.

I would--I would very much like
to receive the same benefits,

in exchange for which
you will experience

first-class travel,
pharmaceutical-grade narcotics,

uh--uh--uh,
the occasional trinket,

and--and a solid 5.9 inches

of--of rock-star penis.

That's from taint to tip.

And it's the high end of average.

Don't believe what you read.

Wow, that does sound
like the deal of a lifetime.

But, uh, it's--
it's not really that simple.

Why is it not that simple?

O-okay. I'll buy you
a German automobile,

but that's it.

Atticus, your wife is outside.

Yes, but I slipped her an Ambien.

What? That's awful.

Is it? Why?

'Cause you drugged your wife.

[Snorts] She loves drugs.

Look, I'm not actually used
to having to ask

for sexual favors.

Typically, they--
they just come to me.

I know.

I do.

The thing is,

when I throw in with a guy,
I go all-in.

That sounds delightful.

I need to know what we're
trying to accomplish here.

A rock opera.

About...love.

Great. All right.

Play me something.

You're fucking joking, right?

I have to audition for you?

Do you think we'll make it?

His favorite place to play

was Madison Square Garden.

Atticus promised to get me in there.

I'm gonna spread his ashes
all over the fucking place.

Is that sanitary?

What are you so scared of, pumpkin?

It's just...
[Exhales]

so unnatural,
this...flying.

What's the worst that could happen?

Huh? We end up fucking crumbs
in a jar, huh?

Pbbbt! Big fucking deal.

All just dust in the wind,
you silly twat.

[Scoffs]

You remind me
of my ex-wife.

You still love her?

Moments like these, when I'm...

staring death in the face,
I realize I have a lot

of unresolved feelings for her.

Yeah, she is the mother of my child.

Oh, no, I'm sorry.

Well, I feel that my life
has deteriorated

ever since we broke up.

But I've had some
solid sexual experiences.

Right.

I've made some serious
deposits in the wank bank.

[Laughs]

That's brilliant.

I'm...still in love
with her.

Come here.

Come here, little boy.

It's all right.

It's all right.
I've been there.

Romance and longing.

What about Mr. Fetch?

You can't long for a cartoon character.

- Oh.
- I mean, don't get me wrong.

He was a really sweet boy,

all heart and balls and swagger,

but that boy turned into a rock star,

and that rock star got
everything he ever wanted

Eventually, he just lost touch
with reality.

Why? We're gonna crash,
aren't we?

I want this pathetic
little slut off my plane.

This is my private airplane,
and I make the rules!

Why are we not landing?

Why are the landing gears
not coming down?

What did she do?

She was inappropriate with me,

with my wife on board, no less.

Is she alive?

She's fine.
Go back to sleep.

It's just fucking bullshit.

No, no more!

No, I don't buy that for a second.

I don't give a fuck if you buy it.

She's gone, and I'm gonna tell

the entire rock and roll
community that you have

vagitosis and warts.

That is just fucking mean.

Okay, land this fucking plane,

but if she goes, I go,
and you can finish

your fucking musical by yourself,

you spoiled ginger.

And get your house in order,
'cause your wife

is looking for strange.

All right, that's the second time

you've laid hands on me, broheme.

The first time, I totally deserved it

'cause I wrecked your piano

Well, thank you for standing up for me.

Oh, sure, no problem.
I mean, who wouldn't?

Just because
you're a groupie and--

and you've slept with
thousands of rocker dudes

doesn't mean you're not
a woman of virtue.

And I don't believe for a second

that you have vagitosis.

- Or warts.

Get in there.
