Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Josh and I Work on a Case! - full transcript

It's been two weeks since the "break-in" at Rebecca's apartment, and Josh has not been in contact with her at all, making her think that perhaps she has lost him forever this time. Even though Paula's latest scheme to get Rebecca and Josh together, which involves Rebecca telling Josh that she has started dating an old colleague from Harvard, does have the intended promised effect of getting the two of them together for dinner, it doesn't quite turn out the way Paula had envisioned. However, Rebecca, Paula and Mrs. Hernandez simultaneously come up with a brainchild for which they just have to flesh out the details: Rebecca has to manufacture something for which she will be Josh's lawyer, so that they would have to spend time together. Rebecca comes up with a legal issue which she doesn't even have to manufacture, and that would play up to Valencia's thirst for Josh to make more money. While the case expands into ways Rebecca did not envision for good and bad, she finds that there are unlikely bedfellows working against her. Meanwhile, Darryl is still fixating over what White Josh's hug and kiss on his cheek meant. In that fixation and learning a bit more about White Josh, Darryl also can't help but fixate on if his bromance with White Josh is more than just a bromance from his own perspective.

Previously on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend...

Just wanted to be a little less lonely,

make some friends.

Well, you made one.

Later, bro.

Someone broke into your apartment?

Throw the rock through the window!

Why don't we go back to your place,

and I'll make sure it's all okay.

This is your rock?

There's got to be another explanation...



Wait, wait, wait,
please-please don't explain.

Uh, I got to go.

Moments ago he held me in his arms,

and then just now he could
barely look me in the eye.

All of my dreams

may have just been shattered.

♪ I was working hard
at a New York job ♪

♪ Making dough but it made me blue ♪

♪ One day I was crying a lot ♪

♪ And so I decided to move ♪

♪ To West Covina, California ♪

♪ Brand-new pals and new career ♪

♪ It happens to be
where Josh lives ♪

♪ But that's not why I'm here ♪



- ♪ She's the crazy ex-girlfriend
♪ - What? No, I'm not.

♪ She's the crazy ex-girlfriend ♪

That's a sexist term.

♪ She's the crazy ex-girlfriend ♪

Can you guys stop
singing for just a second?

♪ She's so broken inside ♪

The situation's a lot
more nuanced than that.

♪ C-R-A-Z-Y ♪

Okay! We get it!

He hasn't called. He hasn't texted.

He hasn't Snapchatted.
He hasn't Vibered.

He hasn't Facebook messaged me.

He hasn't liked any of my
Instagram posts, including...

the other day,

I posted a picture of a baby...

penguin...

surfing.

Look, I know it's been tough...

No, no, no, Paula.

With all due respect,

you did not see his face

when he left my apartment that day.

I was dead to him, like,
he didn't want to spend

any more time with me, and,
oh, we were getting so close.

You know? And you will again.

I promise you, I'm gonna fix this.

By the end of day

tomorrow, Josh will have asked

you out to dinner.

What?

What, tomorrow?

Dinner?

What are you... that's impossible.

Impossible?

Rebecca, we put a man on the moon.

“We”? Did you have
something to do with that?

No, not at all,

but I have been
watching Apollo 13 a lot.

I got the Blu-ray

at a garage sale, and oh, my...

Ed Harris.

Ed Ha... do you-do you
remember, with the glasses?

I mean, come on, he... he
brought those Americans home,

just like I'm gonna bring
that buff Filipino bro home

to... you.

Like Ed says,

“Failure is not an option.”

I have no idea what you're
talking about right now,

but you seem really confident,

and you're talking about space, so...

I'm gonna go with your plan.

What's the first step?

Smog check.

Go to the auto body shop on East Cameron

at exactly 2:00 p.m. tomorrow.

Do precisely what I tell you to do,

and most of all...

stay relaxed.

I am relaxed.

I have soupy bones.

Hey.

Oh.

Hey, dude, good to see you.

Rebecca, uh, what are you...

Uh, just getting an old smog check.

Don't you have a brand-new car?

You're always talking about it,

listing all the features of your Hyundai

as if you were in a
commercial or something.

Uh, what happened to your car?

Uh, it got dinged.

Step two,

- apologize quickly.
- Hey, Josh...

I'm super sorry for, like,

misunderstanding a couple weeks ago.

And step three...

move on to the someone you're seeing.

Yeah, the whole thing's so embarrassing.

I was telling Trent about it recently...

- Who's Trent?
- Oh.

I'm sorry, you don't know Trent.
Trent's the new guy I'm seeing.

Oh, you're, uh, seeing someone?

Yeah, yeah, I knew him back in college.

He went to Harvard?

Yes, indeed, Ye olde Harvard.

Fake boyfriend from Harvard.

All we need is some random guy

who went to Harvard at
the same time you did,

and lives in Los Angeles.

Ooh, what about this guy? Trent.

Oh, that's a perfect
name for a fake boyfriend.

Huh. That's awesome you met someone.

Yeah, we're really happy.

Miss Bunch, you are all set.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, here you go.

There you are.

And then you close

with a coupon.

Uh, ma'am, we don't take coupons.

Oh, I'm sorry, I have that in my wallet.

I've been meaning to use it.

It's a coupon for free drinks

at Jalapeno Jack's.

Hold up, free drinks?

And appetizers.

That's a pricey place.

How can they afford that?

I don't know.

I don't make the coupons.

_

Oh, man, it expires tonight.

Oh, I kept meaning to use it.

I wanted to take Trent,

but he's working late tonight.

Here, you want to take it?

Uh, take Valencia.

Oh, thanks. Yeah.

That'd be great.

Thursday night.

She has back-to-back classes.

Oh, no, she's also working tonight.

Okay, well, this'll go
unused, no harm, no foul.

Good-bye, coupon.

Wait, hold up.

If your date is busy

and my date is busy,

and the coupon expires tonight...

... should we just go together?

Oh. Oh, I hadn't thought of that.

Um, yeah, that sounds good. Yeah.

Houston, this is Apollo.

Jalapeno Jack's is a go.

Repeat, Jalapeno Jack's is a go.

And that's how you land a plane.

We did it, we did it!

We did it.

Oh, we did,

and it was pretty easy.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Yay, we did it.

You have a dinner plan.

Now you and Josh

can get back on track.

Get back to where you
were a couple weeks ago,

when you were practically about to bone.

Oh, it's gonna be so romantic,

just the two of you,

in a cozy corner booth

snuggling over a pitcher of margaritas.

Ooh.

- Ooh.
- Ooh. Nice.

This looks like fun.

What are we fêting?

And speaking of fêting,

and, uh, feeling good

and other words that start

with the letter “F”"

um, like fitness...

Rebecca, how well do
you know White Josh?

Uh, I barely know him.

I was just wondering, um,

do you think he would be open to new...

... clients?

At the gym, I mean?

'Cause, uh, I need a trainer.

Darryl, I literally know nothing

about White Josh.

Why don't you just ask him yourself?

Okay, okay, I just
thought I'd ask around

before I got in bed with a new person.

Gym, that is.

A gym bed, is what I meant.

You know, there are no beds in gyms.

Yeah, I think there should be.

Okay, well, I got to take off.

Uh, hi, two.

Oh, sorry.

We'll have it ready in about 15 minutes.

Water conspiracy?

Water Truthers?

You're nuts, Bert.

Thank you.

Hello, so I have a couple questions
about the menu, um... Mm-hmm.

The El Potato Soupo, is that,
like, a mashed potato dish?

It's soup.

Cheesy soup, has a lot
of, like, cheese in it.

Okay, good to know, that's
maybe a little heavy.

Now, what about the Quesadilla Saladita.

What happens there?

Um, it's a salad with,

like, stuff on it.

Okay. Okay, good to
know. That's on the list.

Uh, now, eventually

at the end of the meal, we're gonna want

the passion fruit soufflé,
but I have a query.

Could I get mango

instead of passion
fruit? Because my friend

who's joining me, he really loves mango.

- Um...
- Also, hold that answer

for one second, I think

we're probably gonna want to start out

with the Margarita Mas Grande,

with salt on the rim,
but only half of the rim,

because too much salt
makes my friend bloat.

I'm gonna give you a few more minutes.

Okay, great.

I can't believe this is free.

- Yeah, I know, right?
- Oh.

So, as you were saying
about your apartment...

Oh, yeah, I haven't had
hot water in, like, weeks.

I'm showering with freezing cold water.

No hot water, that's terrible.

You should complain.

Yeah, I don't like to
complain about stuff.

Valencia is better at complaining...

... and since she's not on the lease,

she can't give the landlord a hard time.

Wait, Valencia's not on the lease?

She has bad credit.

She took a loan out to
sell diet supplements,

and it turned out they
were rat droppings.

Yeah, gross.

Man, it's really good to catch up.

I've, um, I've been
kind of lonely lately.

Oh, but you're seeing someone...

Right. Right, right,
right, right, right, Trent.

Trent. Yes.

I've been lonely, save for Trent.

No, Trent's amazing.

Trent and Rebecca,

we have the greatest
couple name, actually.

Trebecca. Oh. Yeah.

I want to get it monogrammed on a towel.

Yeah, that sounds romantic.

Uh, yeah, it's-it's pretty romantic.

Oh, no, Hector's here.

Huh?

Yo.

I mean, aw, nah, it's Hector.

- What's up?
- What's up, dude?

It's so weird that you guys are here.

Yeah. Huh.

What? Oh, my God, more people here.

Oh, oh, oh.

White Josh,

and some other guys

I don't know.

Hello.

Such a coinky, yo. Can we join you guys?

Uh, you know, I just think
this table won't fit...

Of course! Come on, man.

Oh, look at that. The tables move.

You guys just knew that.

Oh, um, um,

the coupon doesn't limit
the amount of people, right?

Nope, whoever made it did
not think that through.

- Cool.
- Oh, sorry, I'm so rude.

Um, Becks, you haven't met
Ken and Beans yet, have you?

Nope.

Um, Ken, Becks, Beans, Becks.

Becks, Ken, Becks, Beans.

- Hi. Okay.
- Oh, wait, Rebecca,

you went to Beans' party, right?

You know what, yeah, I did,
first week I was in town.

Oh, I don't go by Bernard.

I prefer Beans. It sounds racist,

but I didn't get the
name 'cause I'm Mexican,

it's 'cause I organize
meet-and-trades

for Beanie Babies.

Whoa, I'm so
excited about this coupon.

Let's get the margaritas
that come in a sombrero.

I'm gonna drink until I die.

Yeah!

Time to get drunk!

Um, hey, hey, Josh...

So, I just-I just thought this was gonna be

you and me, hanging out.

- What?
- I just thought this was gonna

be you and me hanging out...

I-it's fine.

It's fine.

Continue. This is fun.

This is fun. It's fine.

Hey, thanks for coming, man.

Are you kidding?

I had dieciséis margaritas.

It was awesome, right?

Yeah, I just still feel kind
of weird after what happened

at Rebecca's apartment the other day.

So, after I mentioned
dinner, I kind of freaked,

and that's why I called
you guys for backup.

Yeah, dude, don't worry about it.

Say queso.

God, I am so afraid that it's over,

that things will never be

Josh just doesn't want

to spend time with me anymore.

Oh, I was so close,

and now he won't even be alone with me.

God, I am never alone.

This client requires so much hand-holding,

it's like we're married.

Last week we go to Fresno for a hearing.

The hotel's overbooked,

so we get a room with one bed,

and then I'm between the sheets

with his body pressed against mine.

Oh, last week I saw more of him

than I did my own wife.

And I mean literally,

because I saw him
naked, like, eight times.

That's genius.

- We make him a client.
- Client.

All we need is a case.

I love it.

Wait, also...

I love that we all had

the same idea at the same time.

It's like we're on each
other's mental cycle.

Totally.

So, what do we do?

Uh, what case

can you help Josh with?

Or do we just get him arrested
and then go from there?

No, come on.

I'm a member of the bar, I swore an oath.

Also, I lied to Josh once...

Once?

... okay, I got caught once
and it was the worst feeling,

and I'm never doing it again.

So, no made-up cases.

Fine, okay, we don't make up anything,

we find something. Something legit.

Something you can actually help him with.

Exactly.

How...

do... we...

do... that?

Okay, you don't want to lie to him.

Can we hurt him?

Just a little bit.

Like, scalding coffee

from a takeout place.

Or...

Ooh! He works at that radiology lab.

Oh, come on, that place
looks like a cancer factory,

surely he has a tumor somewhere.

What do tumors cause?

Water on the brain...

Water. Wait, I know a real thing.

Okay, focus, focus.

Stay focused, you got three more.

Keep your eyes on me.

Oh, I am.

All right. Two.

Are you breathing?

I feel like you're not breathing at all.

- I'm not breathing?
- You're not breathing.

You know what, let's,
uh, let's take a break.

- Doing great.
- Okay.

- I'm gonna-I'm gonna put these down.
- Okay.

Take 60 seconds.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

So, when was the last
time we saw each other?

At your house, the fight.

Yeah, yeah, well, that-that
was the general event,

but the specific event was...

When I kissed you on the cheek?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, that was, uh, funny.

I mean, was that,
like, a European thing,

or was that something
Hector put you up to?

No, dude, I'm gay.

You were being cute, so...

You're gay?

No one's ever mentioned that.

Uh, well, everybody knows.

- It's not a big deal.
- Oh.

Okay, it's just... maybe your nickname

should be Gay Josh
instead of White Josh,

because then people
would know what's up.

Why?

We don't call Greg, Straight Greg.

We don't call you, Old Gay Darryl.

Whoa, what?

I am not old gay.

I am not... or gay.

I'm... divorced.

I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean

anything by that, you just...

No, no... gave me the vibe.

- No. What-what vibe?
- The gay vibe.

But I don't understand
why there would be a vibe.

I like women. I like
sleeping with women.

I like the way they smell,

and I like the way that they...

the-the feel of their skin,

I like their bird-like voices.

I mean, does that sound gay?

Nope.

Sounds like a serial killer,

but a straight one, for sure.

Yeah, a straight ser... What? No.

You know what, I think
this is enough right now.

- Okay.
- Because you know what,

I actually have to return a call Yup.

To my ex-wife, Sure.

- Who's a girl.
- Uh-huh.

- You know?
- No problem.

We actually reproduced together.

Okay.

Cool.

That's-that's not
something you can do solo.

That's... a good point.

That's teamwork.

So, what is this stupid meeting about?

Well, I'm here to dis...

Oh, this is the boyfriend, huh?

Uh, Trent. His name is Trent,

- and he went to Harvard.
- Yes.

Great picture.

Where was it taken?

Palm Springs.

Ah, hm, we just had to spa.

Okay, let's start this meeting, shall we?

Great.

Valencia,

tell me something.

Does your ass feel weird right now?

Joshy, what is she talking about?

Because you, my friends,
are sitting on a gold mine.

You remember the other night,

at that really fun group hang,

you were telling me about
the lack of hot water

- in your apartment.
- Yeah.

Well, did you know that's
not only an annoyance,

but it's also a also a violation

of your contractual tenant rights?

Get to the point, Harvard.

My point is, we can sue your landlord

for all of the back rent that you've paid

since you moved in, plus damages.

Whoa, that would be,
like, thousands of dollars.

Wait a minute. Hold on.

What's in it for you?

It's purely a business decision.

I wouldn't charge you a fee,
I would take a percentage.

You make money, I make money.

That's...

really nice of you.

We could use the cash, babe.

Well, great.

Let's set you up here.

All I need is both your signatures

where it says tenant.

Um, there's a problem.

Oh right, I'm-I'm sorry, my mistake,

Josh mentioned that you,
uh, weren't on the lease.

Josh, you told her?

You know how sensitive
I am about the lease.

It's-it's okay.

We can just make Josh

the sole plaintiff, no biggie.

A-And then we can make

thousands of dollars.

R-right, Rebecca?

Yes, at least.

No.

No, no.

We're not doing this.

I don't trust you as
far as I can throw you,

which is not far,

because you eat bagels after 8:00 p.m.

Come on, Josh.

I'm sorry, that was rude.

Okay, fine.

Enjoy your cold showers!

Yeah, and don't underestimate

the joy of a midnight bagel.

Thank you.

Okay, we did it your way.

Can we now scald him

with gas station coffee?

Man, a settlement could mean

a lot for me and Valencia.

She has all this stuff she wants to buy,

and I want a hoverboard, obviously,

but I also want to invest in our future.

Buy a stock.

Or two stocks.

How many stocks do people have?

I don't know, I'm just a kid.

All I know is, tech is
overvalued right now.

All right, shh.

It's Serrano. Okay, don't
tell him any of this.

He's got lots of opinions
and he's very judgmental.

Oh, I already told him.

What? How?

I've been texting under the table

the whole time we were talking.

I'm a digital addict.

I diagnosed myself online.

What are you doing?

Hey, Greg. You're doing some lawsuit

with Rebecca about water or something?

All right, I haven't decided,

but I can make the decision myself.

I'm not dumb.

Dude, this time that's

not what I'm saying.

I haven't said anything because I know

you like Rebecca,

but I've had some serious
doubts for a while now,

and I just don't want you to
get mixed up in anything...

Dude, she went to Harvard

and she thinks Valencia and
I could get a lot of money.

That's what Satan told Faust.

Oh, you guys didn't know?

My school went charter.

Chan, you're a nice guy.

You always see things in the best light,

but Valencia is right.

Rebecca is into you.

She always has been.

She just wants to spend time with you.

Why can't anyone see that?

The whole case is just a pretext.

A pretext.

Is that like when a little text

comes out before the real text?

I learned about that in health class.

A-alright, I got to go. I have to think.

I want you to protect yourself, Josh.

Rebecca is not what she seems to be.

That thing with the broken glass?

She was up to something.

She's too smart.

She will outsmart you.

Dude, I can take care of myself.

I've got a lot of black belts.

She's not trying to fight you.

I said I have to think about it.

I haven't decided what I'm gonna do,

and I know she has issues,

and maybe she's a little into me,

but, you know, most girls in town are.

Word. Thanks.

And why are you lecturing me, Serrano?

You're the one that kept
trying to go out with her.

I know, I did, but I know better now,

and I'm with Heather,

and it's so great not thinking

about Rebecca's insanity.

Okay, nope, you're wrong.

I just hung with her and I got to say,

she seems like she's in a good place.

She's keeping her car in great shape,

and she's even got a boyfriend
who went to Harvard,.

And has a name that
sounds like a newscaster.

- Connie Chung?
- Wait.

- She has a boyfriend?
- Well...

someone she's seeing. Trent.

- Their couple name is Trebecca.
- Since when?

Trent?

That's the perfect name
for a fake boyfriend.

Stop it.

Look, even if you think Rebecca is,

whatever you think she is,

you know she's an excellent lawyer,

really on top of her game.

Oh, I just love mixed race babies.

I don't know.

I still think Jewish and
Filipino is the best mix.

All right, Paula, come on,
we got to get back to work.

I mean, Nigerian and
Greek is a close second.

- Oh, God, that's a beautiful baby.
- Baby.

- Oh, look at the baby.
- Aw, they're so nice.

With that little face.

Oh, my God, I want
that, like, in my womb.

You know, there are
places that will do that.

Paula!

- What!
- Whoa.

Oh, you okay?

- You're fine.
- Yeah, nope, good, good, good.

- Okay, I found...
- What?

I found something. Call Darryl right now.

- This will get Josh back on board the case
- _

then we can spend more time together.

Josh.

Oh.

W-w-w-w-w-wait, I-I-I have news.

Where is Josh?

Josh isn't here,

and it doesn't matter anyway.

I'm on to you now.

I know you're full of
it, and now I have proof.

Huh, what are you talking about?

Hey, Greg. What do you mean, proof?

Tell her, Greg.

I, um, I looked it up,

and I read some stuff online

about local tenant laws
capping settlements.

Okay, I don't really understand all of it.

Dude, are we not friends anymore?

Like, are you mad at me?

Because, and correct me if I'm wrong,

it seems like you're scheming
behind my back with Valencia.

Wow.

I'm sorry, don't you have a life?

Don't you have a girlfriend?

I just think there's
something... not right.

There's a wrongness here.

Whoa.

What's everyone dog here?

Oh, my God, what are you doing here?

Oh, we just went on a run, dude.

Will someone tell me

what's going on here?

Joshy. Joshy. Josh,
Josh. Don't listen to her.

What?

Everyone, listen to Cookie!

She-she calls me Cookie.

Okay, so...

I figured out if I can switch
the case to a county court,

I can take advantage of a tax loophole

in the assessment tax codes.

Let me sum it up.

If you get your whole
building to sign up,

I can get you a crap ton of dough.

She's right.

In a suit like this,

the payout can be huge.

In Arizona, the tenants got

$10 million in an
asbestos liability dispute.

Or we can call one plumber

and no one has to go to court.

Shut up, Greg.

Josh, listen,

I need your help to get everyone

in this building on board.

We can do this.

This is your moment.

This is your decision.

What do you say?

Please, at least just discuss it.

There is nothing to discuss.

Okay, we don't even know our neighbors,

and they clearly are not interested

in making any money.

Don't you get it?

We're just not interested.

Josh, if I get everyone else
in the building to sign up,

will you join?

Don't do it.

Josh, I...

Bye.

Wow, that is a big bummer.

No.

Not a bummer at all.

Come on, guys.

Yeah, but she said
the neighbors won't...

You are Darryl Whitefeather.

And your people

have been through a lot worse

than some emaciated
yoga teacher, am I right?

What do you mean, my people?

Chippewa, Darryl.

Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes.

Those people. Right, right, right.

Follow my lead.

Hello, ma'am, my name is
Rebecca Bunch, Esquire,

and these are my legal associates.

Hello.

Tell me, is your hot water out?

Yeah, but they said
they're going to fix it...

May I speak to you for a moment

about an important issue?

A serious problem threatening

your right to life, liberty

- and the pursuit of happiness.
- Um...

She's right. It's a big-ass problem.

Okay, sure.

Let's make ourselves a case, folks!

Can I get one of these?

Absolutely, here you go.

Josh, I got everyone on board.

What do you say?

Don't let her manipulate you.

Yeah, you're too smart for this.

Is he?

Josh and I are gonna
spend a lot of time together today.

Josh is here.

Oh. Josh is here.

Okay. Here, no, let the girls out.

There we go.

Okay, fluff them up.

Oh, okay. Get-get them
up there. Oh, God...

See, people think they're
fake, but when you get up close,

you realize no human could design these.

Oh, thank you.

People think they're fake?

Gym business.

Ah. White Joshua, I
just wanted to inform you

that I am not going to be
training with you anymore.

In the future,

my fitness will be coming here,

courtesy of the cardio mambo class.

Here, we leave our sneakers
and our assumptions by the door.

Well, near the door.

In the little cubbies.

Cool, cool, cool.

No better way to prove to
yourself you're straight

than a barefoot, cardio mambo class.

Nothing to prove.

Tanya, want to stretch?

Last time, guys.

♪ ♪

Right.

Getting sweaty, guys.

And squeeze.

Squeeze, and squeeze, and hop.

And squeeze, again.

Big finish.

Now, pose.

Oh, my God, could I be...

Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye.

You're bi, Darryl.

What?

I said, yerba maté tea.

Mmm, I want one.

Oh, my gosh, you can draw that upside down?

Isn't that weird?

That's like really good.
I'm like-I'm like amazing.

Oh, thank you very much Oh.

Josh, would you like flat or bubbles?

Oh, uh, no bubbles.

Uh, they give me dem burps.

Oh...

Anyway, we should get, um,

back to the zoning ordinances.

So, uh, the next thing to do

is file this paperwork with the city.

But more importantly,
we have to decide what

we're eating for dinner
tonight. I'm starving.

All right, let's see...

So, yesterday we had Middle Eastern,

this morning we had Boba delivered...

I liked that a lot...

And then we had Ethiopian...

Yeah, this case is gonna make us very...

well-rounded.

Well-rounded, I love that.

You like that?

I'm having the best time.

Yeah.

Sorry, um, Rebecca,

you have a call on line five.

Hey, Paula, where's a good
Italian place around here,

something, like, Northern.

It's the landlord from Josh's building.

Oh. Oh, he must be running scared.

Okay, watch this, Josh.

I'm gonna put on my lawyer voice.

Well, well, well,

the day of reckoning has arrived.

Your reign

of terror will soon be over,

Mr. Edward B. Greyson, and...

What?

What's wrong?

Shh.

Did we lose the case?

We haven't been to court yet, Pun'kin.

Oh.

Well, I'm gonna have to get back to you.

He, um, he wants to settle.

Take it.

Take it, take it, take it.

Wha... how did you hear me?

Oh, well, I had the little
glass against the wall.

How much? How much? How much?

I mean, the amount doesn't really matter.

Uh, yeah, it does.

Fine, he-he was willing
to settle for a million.

A million dollars?

We each get $1 million?

No, Pun'kin, it's got to be spread out

amongst all the litigants,

but still, it's-it comes to comes to, like,

10,000 bucks each, right?

Huzzah!

This case is over.

Yeah, I'm gonna turn it down.

- What?
- What?

What?

George.

Oh. We talked about this.

Sorry.

I know.

Guys, don't worry, I know
exactly what I'm doing.

Just let me think about this for a second.

Paula, come into my office.

Paula, this case can't be over,

because Josh and I are
having the best time.

Like, today we put
popcorn in the microwave,

and then he showed me how to put

Parmesan and garlic flakes on it,

and we made, like, an
Italian popcorn thing,

and it was, like, the best
thing I've ever had, so

I'm gonna figure something out,
I'm gonna figure something out.

Okay, babe, babe,
babe, you're spiraling.

Let me think, let me think.

That landlord would not have ponied up

such a big settlement offer

if there wasn't something under this.

Something's going on.

Something with the water in this city.

And I'm going to figure out what it is.

How are you going to do that?

Water conspiracy,
water conspiracy, water conspiracy.

Where in town can I buy
fly-fishing equipment?

- What?
- Just answer me.

Purely Sports on East Cameron.

Great.

I really have to talk to
you. We're not gonna settle?

What are we going to do?

Rebecca, we really need that money.

I'm going to make you more money. What?

Darryl, how does your ass feel?

What?

Come with me.

I don't know why we
had to meet in a garage.

I need your help.

You're the only one

who sees through Rebecca like I do.

What do you want me to do?

I can't prove she's lying.

That's okay.

I have evidence that she's lying.

Look at this.

I'm telling you.

That bitch cray.

Tell him, Bert.

The Los Angeles county water system

is a complex creature.

Now, we're surrounded by water, of course,

but until those Israelis
learn out how to desalinate,

we're up crap's creek,

scrabbling around buying
water from Colorado.

You look confused, let me explain.

So, Bert is a...

disgruntled... ex-utility employee,

Very much. who's the leader of a group

of water conspiracy theorists

known as the Water Truthers.

I dismissed him at first,

as I do most conspiracy theories,

but I looked into it, and, well...

his theories hold water.

Damn straight they do!

- We're here.
- Where?

This manhole here is a
secret, central entrance

which leads down into the entire system.

- Watch your toes.
- Ooh.

So, this is like...

the vagina of the system.

It's a manhole.

So, this manhole is a vagina.

You're saying a lot of crazy stuff.

Now come on, let's see how

the corporate Illuminati control liquid.

This here is the central

switching station for West Covina.

Now, as you can see,
some of these pipes,

like this one here,

is being siphoned off.

That means that there's
a lack of water pressure,

which causes water
heaters to under-perform,

since they're only triggered

at a certain pound-per-square-inch number.

It's the age-old trick.

You steal a little bit from everybody,

nobody notices...

except ol' Bert here.

These pipes were

designed to supply water
throughout the county,

so they go both ways.

Both ways. Interesting.

Yeah, but as you can see from

this gauge right here,
the water's being forced

to go only one way.

Well, that's not fair.

Exactly.

The water in these pipes
want to go every which way.

Yes, yes, it does, and
it has every right to.

You're really into this water, Darryl.

Well, I'm fascinated. Okay.

The water is being diverted
away from the San Gabriel Valley

and towards Los Angeles.

Wait, but who would do that?

They're called Greater City Water,

a conglomerate of utility companies,

reservoirs and aqueduct owners

working in cahoots with local landlords.

S-so, you're saying...

I'm saying that it's not
just about one landlord,

it's about the entire

San Gabriel Valley being exploited

by a corporation worth billions.

And if they're worth billions,

then they can be sued for billions.

Yes.

And if they can be sued for billions,

then that means Josh and
I are gonna eat Peruvian,

and Sicilian pizza

at the Poutine Place.

Ooh, at the Greek place,
at the mac and cheese place.

There's a rib place,

there's also a good poke place.

Anyway, oh, I should go.

Me, too.

Cool, I'm just gonna go

back in my hole and eat some rats.

Uh, here we go.

Hi. Whoa, what are you wearing?

Fly-fishing gear.

What are you wearing, dude?

Oh, uh, fly-fishing gear.

Okay, so, I found sod thing out.

I found something out.

So did I.

Trent?

Now, it's true, I'm not gay.

I, Darryl Whitefeather...

I like both sexes.

I'm a both sexual.

Oh, God, it feels so good
to just say that out loud.

The term is, uh, bisex...

Mm.

Bisexual.

That was fun.

Oh, Rebecca, perfect timing.

Trent just got here

five seconds ago.

Trent, baby.

It's so good to see you.

Oh, I'm
so glad you're here.

Okay, let's hear it for window washer...

Gossip Fridays.

Oh, wait, who has got the biggest scoop

from their work this week?

Mm. Oh, there's a prostitute

breaking up marriages all over town.

Okay, well I've got more
news about Rebecca and Josh.

Oh, my God, you mean the crazy chick?

Excuse me, where do you
get off calling her crazy?

When Jerome broke up with you,

it wasn't exactly Sane City.

You left streaks on every
skyscraper in Burbank.

You said you'd never mention that again.

Guess not.
