GameFace (2017–2019): Season 2, Episode 6 - Episode #2.6 - full transcript
Marcella is sober and turning things around. She receives word from Tom about their writing project. At Jon's art exhibition she discovers some even more surprising news.
Think I could come inside? I have
someone here. You look beautiful.
I thought you'd passed your test?
I let Jon think that I failed so
I could carry on with the lessons.
What? I passed my t...
SPEECH IS GARBLED
I missed that.
And good... good werewolves!
I'm just worried about your
drinking, to be honest, Mars.
She's just in the countryside
for a few days. Is she on her own?
This programme contains strong
language and adult humour
So, Marcella, five weeks sober.
How did you find it?
Yeah, I mean, I'm loving it,
getting loads done,
feeling super-pumped,
so, yeah, you booze you lose.
Don't miss it. Do not miss it.
At all.
I mean, erm, I feel quite
emotional a lot of the time.
Er, yeah, and super-irritable
but I think that might be normal.
I had a very late night,
so still feeling pretty... charged.
Why, what happened?
LOUD MUSIC PLAYS INSIDE
Hi.
I'm really sorry
and I wouldn't normally ask,
it's just the walls are really
thin here and that...
Hello?
They didn't turn it down? Marcella,
I mean, some people. I know.
They turned it down all right.
They turned it down.
You want a war? You got a war.

What the fuck is going on?!
Mustn't show weakness!
SHE SCREAMS
I didn't turn all the stuff
down till 5.20 in the morning.
So really you kept yourself up.
Damn it.
So, the benefits of sober living.
Mornings are better.
Mornings.
Yeah, I always sort of viewed
mornings as my enemy
but I'm started to warm to them.
Seems when I'm not dressed
in a hangover... quite the looker.
Funny, I like the early afternoon
when the day starts to
sort of relax into itself
and the light...
I'm getting a lot of writing done.
So that's another perk,
I guess. A benefit.
A lot of writing for my class, you
know, writing a script and stuff,
so... That's the spirit.
I mean, if you can't get a part,
write a part. Look at Matt Damon and
Ben Affleck in Good Will Hunting.
You don't think I can get a part?
No, no, I mean, you're the advert,
the crisp bitch. Crisp bitch?!
No, not...
You think there'd be an advert on
in this country with the phrase...
It's Biccy Monster. OK, Marcella,
now that you've removed alcohol,
what are you doing for fun?
Are you socialising still?
Are you dating? Dating?
You think that's fun?
Oh, my God. I'm gonna have to have
sex with someone sober.
Well, never having sex again.
Sorry, old pal.
You've never had sex sober?
Of course I have, just not
the first time with someone.
How strange.
What do you do, just meet someone
at a Ted Talk, have a bowl of kale,
a glass of tap water and then just
start banging in broad daylight?
Well, I'm sorry, I came through
in the '90s so this is my culture.
I mean, I can't even dance sober.
Anyway, I don't wanna
think about dating,
makes me think of Jon, I just...
Not today.
What's happening?
I mean, don't look at me
while you do it, that's intense.
Oh, brilliant. Double-teamed.
It's fine. Who cares? Sober dancing.
Mmm!
Come on, Marcella, let yourself go.
It's horrible.
Feel free. Who cares?
Jesus Christ!
SHE SIGHS
Come on! These are my warm-up moves.
Just give me...
Just give me a second,
I've gotta... find it.
It's quite hard, actually,
when you just don't know
what song you're dancing to.
Um, Beyonce, Crazy In Love.
OK. I can work with that.
BEEPING
And, uh, well, that's the session
over. Never mention this again.
Ever. Don't write it in your books.

HE SIGHS
Night.
Night.
You OK?
Yeah.
I was just thinking it might be time
to sell the driving school. Really?
Yeah, no, I'll see.
It's funny, hearing about you
as a driving instructor -
I can't imagine it at all.
So not who you are.
I wasn't very good.
It's all I have to bring today
This, and my heart beside.
What? Shhhhh.
It's all I have to bring today
This, and my heart beside
This, and my heart,
and all the fields
And all the meadows wide
If sure you count - Should I forget
Someone the sum could tell
This, and my heart, and all the bees
Which in the clover dwell.
Um...
Thank you.
For that, that was...
That was very good.
Emily Dickinson. OK.
Like, we get it.
The hospice is far away.
Why doesn't the "character" just get
an Uber? Like, problem solved.
Not finished.
The other thing is, like,
seems like you're really writing
for your perspective and you have a
small world to draw from, you know?
And the world is bland,
it's taut... Here he is.
Oh, my God,
so you know my script I've been
working on for the last four years?
Uh... the sad one about your dog?
Yeah, well, it got turned down.
Oh, no. That's awful.
Yes, it is.
Anyway, last night I go out
for a drink with my literary agent.
We drown our sorrows
and I drunkenly mention Carewolves.
Didn't drop you, did he? No.
His whole fucking face changes,
like he sobers up.
Anyway, by the time I get up
this morning he's e-mailed me,
all excited, cos he has
three fucking US networks
interested in commissioning
a series.
Well, a pilot. Wait, about
carewolves? Werewolves gone good?
I don't even remember what I fucking
said. It must have been some pitch!
Sorry, guys, can we please just...?
Sorry. Sorry.
..we're in Japan, I'm an ant.
Like, none of it makes any sense.
Also, why do you spend
so much time...
He wants to arrange for us to go
out to LA, meet the network guys
and try to do a deal.
And write the pilot out there.
Wait. What...
Me as well?
Of course.
It was our idea. Hollywood, baby.
We're the fucking tribe.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! I know.
Do you think...
Do you think maybe I could...
Lay one of the werewolves? Yes!
Yes!
Sorry, guys, can we please try
and listen to Charlotte as she wraps
up her constructive criticism?
OK, this might be hard to hear, but
when the husband died I felt reborn.
I was reading it, I'm like,
"Either this character dies
"or I'm gonna run out the room
and throw myself into the road."
Like, it was brutal to listen to.
I did like the bit where
he ate a plain omelette.
So... that's something.
How well do you know this guy,
then? Tom? Mm.
Er... not that well. Well enough. I
don't have to decide straight away.
It's a good opportunity. Although
he does sound like a bit of a caner.
Maybe not the best time
if you wanna try and stay sober.
It's only ten weeks. Maybe go to a
few meetings while you're out there.
Billy, we've had this conversation,
I'm not going to 12-step meetings,
for fuck's sake. OK, you two, OK.
Look, working in advertising I hear
this sort of chat quite a lot.
I work with a lot of writers in LA,
proper ones, professionals.
And it's always like, "I can't do
that advert, I've got a pilot."
Then four weeks later
it's all fallen through
and they're back, scripting
an advert for Polish mustard.
So there's no point worrying
about something that, with all due
respect, might not actually happen.
Right, let's watch this film, then.
Billy, if you don't put that
bhuna down I'm gonna fly-kick
you to the head, so... Fine.
Thanks for the lift.
No worries. You coulda stayed.
I mean, in Skinny Pig's room,
the spare bed,
I don't mean actually mean,
you know... You could have stayed.
No, I know.
So you're actually gonna... go to LA?
Yeah.
I am. First thing I feel
excited about in ages.
I mean, you know, ten weeks.
It's a long time.
And we've been... I know.
We've been spending
so much time together.
We actually get on as friends.
Who knew?
PHONE BUZZES
I'll call her back.
It's just about couples therapy.
Oh, you're doing that with her?
You agreed...
You're doing that then, are you?
Yeah. I mean,
it's a waste of time but...
I felt bad. Yeah.
You should get it.
She's probably watching us.
I'll end up with my head up my arse.
Thanks for the lift. See you later.
Oh, hey, you're here.
It looks great.
Maybe...
Thanks, yeah. Thanks.
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
OK, which one shall
I give to Jon
as a "well done on your exhibition"
present?
So you're definitely going, then?
Yeah, of course.
It's great he wants
to be my friend again.
I wanna see him before I go to LA.
I won't stay long.
I won't stay long.
I just haven't seen him
since he hung up on me
when I told him about the test.
I dunno, maybe you shouldn't go.
Think of your little heart.
Seeing him with someone else.
No, it's OK, I don't mind that.
It's fine. I wanna see him, so...
Yeah. Now, which one?
Erm... Van Gogh.
It's an exhibition
and it's a nice print. Yeah? Mm.
Are you just saying that
so we get to keep the Nicolas Cage
one in the house?
Dammit. Caroline! It's important!
It's my offering!
# That day
# I first saw you, oh, whoa
# Passing by... #
Marcella. Hi. Hi. Hey.
Wow, thanks for coming.
Oh, no, it's great. What a cool
place. It's, like, super-funky.
Funky happened. I said funky. Yeah.
OK, I'm just a bit...
Do you want a wine?
Uh... no, thank you.
I stopped drinking. Really?
That's great. Wow. How long for?
Uh, five weeks. Since, well...
You know since.
Uh, so, where's your display?
Ah. This way.
Here we go.
Wow, they're...
They're, um... They're brilliant.
Just brilliant. Really, er...
So...
There's a real, erm...
There's a real, erm,
innocence to them.
Yeah. I was trying to say
something about...
hope. Yeah.
And the futility of ambition in
bodies designed to self-destruct.
Yeah. I can... Yeah. I mean...
It's... That... He's pretty hopeful.
And the dog. A lot to...
A lot to think about here.
Yeah.
Yeah, these aren't mine.
But at least...
You monster. You utter monster.
These are mine.
OK, they're obviously not yours,
Lionel Richie, so...
What?
I mean, I'm flattered
but the fag's a bit much.
Erm, yeah, I guess...
It does look a bit like you.
I honestly hadn't... A bit like me?
You think it looks a bit like me?
I mean...
Hi, Jon. Oh, hey. Sally, hey.
This is Marcella. Yeah, we've
met before. Hey, how you doing?
Oh, what's in the bag?
Oh, I, uh, well,
I get an opening night present.
Oh, Nic Cage.
Who doesn't like Nic Cage?
"I'm a vampire! I'm a vampire!"
"No, not the bees. Not the bees."
What?
Sally does poems.
No, no, that was my
Nicolas Cage impression.
Oh! I'm... Oh, yeah. It was... Yes.
Jon said you were funny and I
thought you'd like it. It was good.
It's a great cushion. Yeah.
I'm just gonna go
and talk to Mary for a bit. Yeah.
Nice to see you, Marcella.
So nice to see you, yeah.
Wow.
She seems really great.
Yeah, she is. She's really nice.
It's going well.
I, erm, think I'm gonna quickly pop
out for a cigarette. Er... shhh.
Won't be long.
Hey, no, I'll come.
So, uh, how's things with you?
How is it with Simon? Simon?
He's in couples therapy
with his wife.
We're... We're not... It's...
It was just that one
drunken mistake.
Uh, I thought
you went away with him.
I went to his nan's house
and he had to come down to do some
renovation for tenants
but not like...
We're just friends. What?
How do you know he came down?
I must've got... Sorry,
I thought you... or someone... OK.
We still care about each other
but...
Now I, uh...
I guess I had my heart set on
something else for a while, so...
In other news,
I'm going to LA
to write a pilot
about carewolves.
Ah.
Carewolves,
when werewolves become good.
How do you know? I walked you home
that night and you mentioned it.
A lot. I think it's a great idea.
Really? You'll play
one of the wolves, right?
I would love that so much.
You were born to play a wolf.
I'm gonna take that as a
compliment.
Thanks so much for inviting me
tonight.
Hey, I'm really pleased
that you came.
I'm just sorry for the lack of
willies. It's fine.
I'm so relieved you're not angry
with my any more.
I'm so sorry for the lying and for
wasting your time and... What?
So creepy. Sorry, slow down here.
When was I angry?
When I told you
I lied
about failing my test.
You called my clinically insane
and hung up the phone.
No, I didn't hang up, I... I
couldn't hear what you were saying.
Shit.
Oh, shit.
Do you hate me now?
I mean, I thought you'd forgiven me
but you hadn't even heard... Jon?
There's someone here who wants to
talk to you about the old man hands.
Uh, yeah. Two seconds.
Um...
I don't hate you.
I'm really pleased you came.
Let me know
when you're back from LA.
Really? Yeah.
Oh, my God, I can't believe
I'm going tomorrow.
Am I mad?
Am I deluded going to LA for three
months with a man
I barely know to write
a script about werewolves?
No. No, definitely not.
Think of it as an adventure.
You gotta trust
the universe a bit more.
Think you know it's the right thing,
right?
Universe or no universe,
trust yourself for once.
It just feels new.
Do you know what I mean?
I haven't had anything
nice-new in so long.
I could do with a bit of new.
Get rid of the rat.
Here's to not being afraid of new!
Not being afraid of new!
I am a bit afraid of new.
Three months is
so long to be away from your girls.
But you can FaceTime everyday and
WhatsApp, my big co-dependant bear.
I will. You better not
reject any of my calls.
Has that man got his dick out?
Yeah. Yeah.
Put your shit dick away, mate!
Shit dick!
Shit dick! Shit dick!
See you later, no knob.
Run off, you shit flasher.
What time is your flight?
Not till 11. Great.
See you in the morning, then. See
you in the morning. Night. Night.
DOOR BUZZER
I'll get it.
Hi. I knew. What? Knew what? I knew
that you had passed your test.
Like, the next day.
I know all the examiners, I knew.
And I've ended things with Sally.
Why didn't you say anything?
Same reason that you didn't.
Look, you are...
annoying and you're tardy
and you make things difficult
when there's no need and you lie
and you have jalapenos with
everything and then you
moan about stomach acid.
No... Oh, my God. Terrible timing.
Will you just wait till
I say the nice bit?
I thought the jalapenos
was the nice bit.
What was the nice bit?
A bad day with you is still better
than a good day with anyone else.
It's really good.
Thanks. It's really good.
BIRDS TWEET
Three months.
It's not that long.
It's more like ten weeks.
Oh, ten weeks.
Erm... maybe you could
come and visit me?
Yeah, I think that might be wise.
This fall...
the creatures of the night are back.
SNARLING
But this time
something is different.
HOWLING
You want a pinch of paprika,
half a lemon.
That's how you do it.
That's my family secret.
Well, recently.
Before that, we ate people.
We are under attack!
I'm a feminist, you know. Shut up.
You're a married wolf
with three damn cubs.
Don't look at my cards,
you fucking cheat.
I'm in such a good mood tonight.
I'm premenstrual.
I wanna clean the oceans.
It was barefaced misogyny
and I wasn't standing for it.
I ripped his fucking head off.
I didn't. I'm a vegan now.
HOWLING
SHE LAUGHS THEN HOWLS
# Well, the road seems so long
before me
# I'm feeling confused
and hungry
# Dark clouds are blocking
moonlight
# Time is sleepin'
# Road signs are all agin' me
# Daybreak sorta takes for ever
# Cars pass and put me down,
# I'm tired and freezing
# I'll find you
and hold you in my memory... #

Seeing him with someone else.
No, it's OK, I don't mind that.
It's fine. I wanna see him, so...
Yeah. Now, which one?
Erm... Van Gogh.
It's an exhibition
and it's a nice print. Yeah? Mm.
Are you just saying that
so we get to keep the Nicolas Cage
one in the house?
Dammit. Caroline! It's important!
It's my offering!
# That day
# I first saw you, oh, whoa
# Passing by... #
Marcella. Hi. Hi. Hey.
Wow, thanks for coming.
Oh, no, it's great. What a cool
place. It's, like, super-funky.
Funky happened. I said funky. Yeah.
OK, I'm just a bit...
Do you want a wine?
Uh... no, thank you.
I stopped drinking. Really?
That's great. Wow. How long for?
Uh, five weeks. Since, well...
You know since.
Uh, so, where's your display?
Ah. This way.
Here we go.
Wow, they're...
They're, um... They're brilliant.
Just brilliant. Really, er...
So...
There's a real, erm...
There's a real, erm,
innocence to them.
Yeah. I was trying to say
something about...
hope. Yeah.
And the futility of ambition in
bodies designed to self-destruct.
Yeah. I can... Yeah. I mean...
It's... That... He's pretty hopeful.
And the dog. A lot to...
A lot to think about here.
Yeah.
Yeah, these aren't mine.
But at least...
You monster. You utter monster.
These are mine.
OK, they're obviously not yours,
Lionel Richie, so...
What?
I mean, I'm flattered
but the fag's a bit much.
Erm, yeah, I guess...
It does look a bit like you.
I honestly hadn't... A bit like me?
You think it looks a bit like me?
I mean...
Hi, Jon. Oh, hey. Sally, hey.
This is Marcella. Yeah, we've
met before. Hey, how you doing?
Oh, what's in the bag?
Oh, I, uh, well,
I get an opening night present.
Oh, Nic Cage.
Who doesn't like Nic Cage?
"I'm a vampire! I'm a vampire!"
"No, not the bees. Not the bees."
What?
Sally does poems.
No, no, that was my
Nicolas Cage impression.
Oh! I'm... Oh, yeah. It was... Yes.
Jon said you were funny and I
thought you'd like it. It was good.
It's a great cushion. Yeah.
I'm just gonna go
and talk to Mary for a bit. Yeah.
Nice to see you, Marcella.
So nice to see you, yeah.
Wow.
She seems really great.
Yeah, she is. She's really nice.
It's going well.
I, erm, think I'm gonna quickly pop
out for a cigarette. Er... shhh.
Won't be long.
Hey, no, I'll come.
So, uh, how's things with you?
How is it with Simon? Simon?
He's in couples therapy
with his wife.
We're... We're not... It's...
It was just that one
drunken mistake.
Uh, I thought
you went away with him.
I went to his nan's house
and he had to come down to do some
renovation for tenants
but not like...
We're just friends. What?
How do you know he came down?
I must've got... Sorry,
I thought you... or someone... OK.
We still care about each other
but...
Now I, uh...
I guess I had my heart set on
something else for a while, so...
In other news,
I'm going to LA
to write a pilot
about carewolves.
Ah.
Carewolves,
when werewolves become good.
How do you know? I walked you home
that night and you mentioned it.
A lot. I think it's a great idea.
Really? You'll play
one of the wolves, right?
I would love that so much.
You were born to play a wolf.
I'm gonna take that as a
compliment.
Thanks so much for inviting me
tonight.
Hey, I'm really pleased
that you came.
I'm just sorry for the lack of
willies. It's fine.
I'm so relieved you're not angry
with my any more.
I'm so sorry for the lying and for
wasting your time and... What?
So creepy. Sorry, slow down here.
When was I angry?
When I told you
I lied
about failing my test.
You called my clinically insane
and hung up the phone.
No, I didn't hang up, I... I
couldn't hear what you were saying.
Shit.
Oh, shit.
Do you hate me now?
I mean, I thought you'd forgiven me
but you hadn't even heard... Jon?
There's someone here who wants to
talk to you about the old man hands.
Uh, yeah. Two seconds.
Um...
I don't hate you.
I'm really pleased you came.
Let me know
when you're back from LA.
Really? Yeah.
Oh, my God, I can't believe
I'm going tomorrow.
Am I mad?
Am I deluded going to LA for three
months with a man
I barely know to write
a script about werewolves?
No. No, definitely not.
Think of it as an adventure.
You gotta trust
the universe a bit more.
Think you know it's the right thing,
right?
Universe or no universe,
trust yourself for once.
It just feels new.
Do you know what I mean?
I haven't had anything
nice-new in so long.
I could do with a bit of new.
Get rid of the rat.
Here's to not being afraid of new!
Not being afraid of new!
I am a bit afraid of new.
Three months is
so long to be away from your girls.
But you can FaceTime everyday and
WhatsApp, my big co-dependant bear.
I will. You better not
reject any of my calls.
Has that man got his dick out?
Yeah. Yeah.
Put your shit dick away, mate!
Shit dick!
Shit dick! Shit dick!
See you later, no knob.
Run off, you shit flasher.
What time is your flight?
Not till 11. Great.
See you in the morning, then. See
you in the morning. Night. Night.
DOOR BUZZER
I'll get it.
Hi. I knew. What? Knew what? I knew
that you had passed your test.
Like, the next day.
I know all the examiners, I knew.
And I've ended things with Sally.
Why didn't you say anything?
Same reason that you didn't.
Look, you are...
annoying and you're tardy
and you make things difficult
when there's no need and you lie
and you have jalapenos with
everything and then you
moan about stomach acid.
No... Oh, my God. Terrible timing.
Will you just wait till
I say the nice bit?
I thought the jalapenos
was the nice bit.
What was the nice bit?
A bad day with you is still better
than a good day with anyone else.
It's really good.
Thanks. It's really good.
BIRDS TWEET
Three months.
It's not that long.
It's more like ten weeks.
Oh, ten weeks.
Erm... maybe you could
come and visit me?
Yeah, I think that might be wise.
This fall...
the creatures of the night are back.
SNARLING
But this time
something is different.
HOWLING
You want a pinch of paprika,
half a lemon.
That's how you do it.
That's my family secret.
Well, recently.
Before that, we ate people.
We are under attack!
I'm a feminist, you know. Shut up.
You're a married wolf
with three damn cubs.
Don't look at my cards,
you fucking cheat.
I'm in such a good mood tonight.
I'm premenstrual.
I wanna clean the oceans.
It was barefaced misogyny
and I wasn't standing for it.
I ripped his fucking head off.
I didn't. I'm a vegan now.
HOWLING
SHE LAUGHS THEN HOWLS
# Well, the road seems so long
before me
# I'm feeling confused
and hungry
# Dark clouds are blocking
moonlight
# Time is sleepin'
# Road signs are all agin' me
# Daybreak sorta takes for ever
# Cars pass and put me down,
# I'm tired and freezing
# I'll find you
and hold you in my memory... #
