Ground Floor (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 10 - The Decision: Part Two - full transcript

Brody: Previously on
"Ground Floor"...

Big news!
I'm going to Paris!

(Derrick and Tori) What?

I have to tell Jenny
I love her.

Now, as you all know, for the last year
I've been preparing to open a new office.

I didn't know where. I didn't know when.
I didn't even know who was gonna run it.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

I really love you.
Please come to Paris with me?

I want you to stay here in this office
and be my new Brody.

- But I gave up my apartment.
- That was dumb.

What's happening
to the old Brody?



Forget Paris. You're
going to Hong Kong.

- Sir!
- Ah, Mr. Moyer.

What a glorious day.
Have a seat.

Gun to my head, I'd have to say, today
is one of the greatest days of my life.

Of course,
the greatest day of my life

was when that punk
put the gun to my head.

There's really nothing
quite as satisfying

as beating a man down
with his own gun.

The thing is...

It's just a little complicated... this
whole Hong Kong thing... with Jenny.

Let me see if I can
simplify it for you.

I'm about to make one of the biggest
moves professionally of my life,

and I'm asking my best man
to help me with it.

- That sound pretty simple?
- Yeah, sure. When you put it that way,



it sounds as simple as beating
a man down with his own gun.

- But sir, the thing is...
- No, no, no.

I've... I've heard enough
about your thing.

I told you
from the very beginning,

that your relationship with Jenny
was going to cause problems. (Sighs)

It was fine as long as it didn't
impact me. But that's over.

And I refuse to get sucked up
into your relationship.

- I just told Jenny I love her.
- You did? What did she say?

Oh.

She didn't say "Thank you," did she?
No! No.

No, Mr. Moyer.

I'm not going to engage
in any of that with you.

- She said it back.
- Of course she did.

Now get off of my balcony
before I ask you if she cried.

- Did she cry?
- She did.

Ohh! Get off of my balcony.

Season 1, Episode 10
"The Decision: Part Two"

- Hey, babe.
- Ooh! There you are.

Okay, I've been
practicing my French.

Bonjour, mon petit
pamplemousse.

Aw.

I am your little grapefruit.

Anyway...

Here's the thing about Paris.
Keeping in mind, I love you...

I love you, too.
Ooh!

Are we gonna be one of those couples
that always has to say "I love you"?

- Probably.
- It's gonna be so annoying. I love you.

I love you, too. (Chuckles)

So... I just found out
that the company...

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

Is opening up
a new office...

- I love you.
- I love you.

And I have been chosen to open up
the new office in Hong Kong...

I love you.

Wait, are you moving
to Hong Hong?

I love you.

- Will you get out of here?
- Yes, yes, I will. (Laughs)

I will moonwalk out of here.

- Can you go any faster?
- This is how fast I moonwalk.

Wait. So when are you
going to Hong Kong?

- Two days.
- Ha, ha, ha, ha.

This is so...

Fantastic!

Really?

Yes!
Baby, oh, my God.

This is what you've worked
so hard for.

This is...
this is your dream.

Yeah, this is my dream.
God, I love you.

I love you, too!
Oh.

But what about us?

Well, uh, babe,
this is great news for you.

Okay? We'll... we'll worry
about us later.

Well, what if...
"Us" move to Hong Kong?

Wh... what are you saying?

Oh, I'm saying
what if we move to Hong Kong?

- I was playing on your "us" thing.
- Right, no, I know, I got that, yeah.

About Hong Kong.

Look, I know it sounds crazy
and it's sudden,

but I can't imagine
being there without you.

So, look, take as much time
as you need to think about it.

- Then...
- I'll do it! I'll do it!

Oh, my God.

"Us" is moving to Hong Kong!

No!

"We" is movin' to Hong Kong.
That's not... no.

- It doesn't matter! I love we!
- I love we, too!

Oh, mon fromage chapeau.

(Kisses)

Oh, I will always be
your little cheese hat.

Oh.

- Whoo! I got some great news, man.
- Great. I could use some great news.

Really?
What's wrong with you?

Well, I'm, uh,
kinda homeless right now,

because when I thought
I was moving to Hong Kong,

I told my landlord
to suck it.

I'd offer you my place,
but at my 4th of July party,

you told my landlord
to suck it. So...

Anyway,
what's your great news?

So Jenny is actually
coming with me to Hong Kong.

(Sarcastically) Great.

Great.

So you get the dream job
and the girl.

It's like you had to choose
between cake and pie,

and someone invented
cake pie!

- Mr. Moyer?
- Yes.

I got us our tickets
to Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, we're going to be
traveling like third world cattle.

- You mean coach?
- Oh, God no.

Commercial. First class.

Every great adventure
starts with a challenge.

Are you excited
about Hong Kong?

As excited as a panda
with chopsticks.

Sorry. All I know about China is
from the movie "Kung Fu Panda."

- I hate cartoons, Mr. Moyer.
- Right.

The point is,
you're on the fast track now.

And in two years, you'll be me.
Do you know how that feels? I do.

Because I am me and it is...
Well, it's spectacular.

(Chuckles)

I can't wait, sir.

I'm actually
a little envious of you...

Going to an exotic location, striking
out on your own, working 9:00 to 5:00.

That actually doesn't sound
that...

Oh, you mean,
9:00 A.M. to 5:00 A.M.

To start. But the hours will
eventually get long, yeah.

Well, I'm sure I'll be able
to squeeze in some downtime.

Well, of course.

I find there's only
a certain number of days

a man can go without sleep.
For me, it's 19.

I'm on eight right now,
and I'm high as a kite.

Hey, guys.

Um, so, listen,
I'm kinda homeless right now.

So does anyone have a place
where I could crash for a few days?

Like maybe Tori?

Hey, Threepeat,
how you doing?

I know you wanted that
Hong Kong office pretty bad.

You know, it's okay. I mean,
would I really wanna leave

my friends and family,
move to a strange country,

work seven days a week, and
have absolutely no social life?

Of course I would.
I wanted it so bad.

Wow, I-I guess Brody
will be working a lot.

But that's okay, I'll... I'll meet
some people when I get a job.

Yeah, exactly.
So you got a work visa, then?

No.

Do I need one of those?

Well, it says here,
you're gonna need a work visa.

Okay, thank you, Derrick!

So how long does it take
to get one?

- About a year.
- It's gonna take about a year.

But that will give you plenty of
time to work on your Cantonese.

I have to learn to speak
another language?

Looks like you gotta learn you
some Cantonese, girl.

Okay, I gotta go
talk to Brody.

You gotta go talk to Brody.
Okay.

Now I'm just repeatin' stuff.

Did I hear you say
you're looking for an apartment?

Yeah. Um, can I crash with you
for a few days?

Not so fast.
It's gonna cost you.

Okay, well, when I find my ATM card,
I can float you $300.

You're... you're gonna...
pay me with money?

Here. Here...
here's your key.

Let's go see your new home,
roomie! (Laughs)

Here she is,
in all her glory.

Soak... it... in. (Laughs)

Where the hell are we, man? You said
this was a trendy neighborhood.

You live above a funeral home,

across the street from a funeral
home, between two funeral homes.

Yeah, it's called
the Funeral Home District.

(Chuckles) FUHO!

I've never heard of Fuho.

Well, it's not technically
zoned for the living.

But, uh, why don't I go ahead
and give you the tour?

Where we're standing
is what we call the living room.

Now over there's gonna be
the rumpus room.

Media Center right back here.
Kitchen over there.

And over here is where...
The magic... happens.

- Is that a magic kit?
- Yeah, I do two shows a night.

Pay what you can. It'll be nice
just to have an audience.

Well, you know, you said
this is a massive two-bedroom.

Did I?
'Cause I thought I said

it was a massive two bed...
Room.

- Where are the two beds, man?
- Well, they're back here!

(Beds creaking)

Oh! (Laughing)

Watch out! Watch out.

Here we go.

Huh, I guess I've never actually had
'em down at the same time before.

You are technically
my first sleepover.

I would kill myself,
but I'd end up right back here.

I got your text.

Hey, this is where
we first said "I love you."

Yeah, it's our love dumpster.

Aw.

We should really come up
with a better name for it, though.

Mm-hmm, we should. (Laughs)

Um, so, could we talk
about Hong Kong?

Yeah, I wanted to talk to you
about that, too, actually.

Um, the thing is...

- I don't think you should go to Hong Kong.
- I don't think I should go to Hong Kong.

- What?
- What?

Why don't you want me
to go to Hong Kong?

You just said you don't
wanna go to Hong Kong.

- I don't wanna go to Hong Kong.
- Well, that hurts my feelings.

Well, you just said
that you didn't want me to go!

- I don't want you to go.
- Okay, well, good! I'm not going.

- Okay, that's all I wanted.
- Awesome. Got your wish.

Okay, great.

If neither of us want you to go
to Hong Kong, why are we fighting?

We're not fighting,
we're just agreeing loudly.

- Good! Okay.
- Okay.

- You really don't wanna go to Hong Kong?
- I mean, babe, come on.

You know that there's nothing
there for me except you.

And you're...
you're gonna be crazy busy.

I know, I know. And I won't be able
to give you the time you deserve.

Okay, so I'll just go
to Paris alone.

- Right.
- Yeah.

Wow, this really quickly turned
into the dumpster of tears.

No, it's... it's still
our love dumpster until we...

- Think of a better name.
- Come up with a better name, yeah.

No, we're gonna...
we're gonna make it work, okay?

I'm gonna stay here, and
you're gonna go to Hong Kong.

- And you're gonna kick ass.
- Yeah.

So we'll just do
the long-distance thing, right?

Yeah, I'll probably see
more of you on Skype

- ...than I would in Hong Kong.
- Totally.

Just remember Skype gives me
this weird chin thing.

I don't want to...
it's not a big deal.

Just keep it in mind
'cause it's like a chin thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Chuckles) We're gonna be great.

- So great.
- So great.

- I love you.
- I love you.

I love you, too.

Oh, there you are.

(Chuckles) I'm having a party.
I hope you can make it.

- Oh! "Brody's going away party."
- Hey, you didn't have to do that.

Hey, you're not invited.

To my own going-away party?

She actually read it wrong.
It's not "Brody's going-away party."

It's "Brody's going away...
Party!"

All right, hey,
anybody want a cold one?

(All) No!

Relax, it is just a beer.

(Knock on door)

Oh. Here we go.

- Oh... you made it.
- Yeah, I did.

Despite you telling me your address
was 1-2-3-4 You're-a-Dick Avenue.

- It's classic. (Laughing)
- Yeah.

- Hey, you.
- Hey.

(Kisses)

I have a question,
is it weird that this is

exactly what I thought
Harvard's place would look like?

I guess the good thing is, you can
clean the whole place with a hose.

Hey, everybody,
uh, grab a glass.

I just wanna say
to my best friend Brody,

good luck in Hong Kong, man.

- (Woman) Hear, hear.
- To Brody.

- (Man) Yeah!
- Whoo!

I just know
you're gonna kill it,

and, uh, I'm speaking
from the heart when I say...

Please talk to your landlord for me.
This place is a scary place.

You're scared?

I just took a selfie
and didn't show up in it.

That's 'cause you got
the phone backwards.

Ohh. Thank you.

Hey, uh, I actually
have something to say.

I'm really gonna miss everyone,
really.

Even you, Harvard.

(Clicks tongue) Aw!
(Chuckles)

Look, I know over the past few months
I've said things like "I don't like you,"

"I hate you,"
"I wish I'd never met you."

Right.

And...

Good-bye. Go. Leave.

- It's a fun party.
- Yeah. (Giggles)

It's so crazy that by this time tomorrow,
you're gonna be on a plane to Hong Kong.

Yep, and you'll be
on your way to Paris.

Look at us jet-setters, just jet-settin'
all around, getting all jet-setty.

Yeah.
(Laughs)

Seriously, baby, I'm... I'm...
I'm so psyched for you.

- Yeah, you keep saying that.
- Yeah, I know. I'm just... I'm sorry.

I'm jazzed. I'm stoked.
I'm just pumped, you know?

Yeah, I know.

- You sure? I just want you to be okay.
- Yeah. Yes, I'm fine.

- You sure?
- Yes, totally.

'Cause you'd tell me?

I mean, babe, what do you
really want me to say?

That I'm sad?

(Voice breaks)
I'm... I'm a little sad.

But... you know,
that's just driving me crazy

because I really don't want you
to feel bad about leaving.

Come on, Jenny.
That nothat this is about.

I mean, we're gonna
make it work, though. We are.

We'll do
the long-distance thing.

You know, and if...
and if we don't, it's okay,

'cause we've only been
dating for three months.

(Crying) So that's nothing
to cry about,

which is why
I'm not crying.

Jenny, come on. You...

You know
I don't have a choice.

- Right?
- Mm-hmm.

Like what would you do
if you were me?

I gotta go.

- No, don't go. Please.
- Yeah, I have to go.

Jenny, I love you.

Just, don't...

(Door closes)

Okay, everyone's gotta go!
There's something

oozing out of the drains
in the bathroom!

Get out! Get out!

It's hell of a view, huh?

It'll be yours someday.

(Inhales sharply)
Wow. Okay, thanks.

Sorry.
I'm just a little distracted.

I... I don't know
what's gonna happen with Jenny.

I know. It's hard.

But if it's meant to be,
you'll figure it out.

You'll fly her in for the holidays,
you'll talk on the phone, you'll Skype.

But... God almighty,
watch out for the chin.

Otherwise, sure shootin'
you get this thing.

Yeah, what is that thing? Is that
like the lighting, or the angle?

It's jaw structure.

You either have it
or you don't.

I have it.

I just wish I hadn't
complicated things, you know?

I literally picked the worst time
to tell her I love her.

Newsflash...

There's no such thing
as a worst time.

If you love somebody and you're lucky
enough to be able to tell them,

you tell 'em.
You tell 'em 10,000 times.

I love you, son.

Now you don't... you don't
have to say anything back.

You just gonna leave me
hanging here or what...

Oh, yeah. I-I love you,
too, yeah. Love you.

Attaboy. Have a seat.

It's just... (Sighs)

What if I go to Hong Kong
and I totally lose Jenny?

What if you stay here
and totally lose her?

What if you give up
this opportunity,

and then six weeks or six months
from now, you break up?

Then you've lost the girl and the job.
And I have news for you...

The job's not coming back.

Wow. Okay.

That was harsh.
It was just tough love.

I got that from my old man.

Actually, he was less tough love
and more tough shit.

- I just feel...
- No, don't. Don't feel.

You're opening a new office
and you're doing it fully

two years before I did.
And I'm me, for God sake.

Now this is everything
that we've worked for.

And listen carefully, because
I've never said this before...

I need you.

I won't let you down, sir.

I know you won't.

Go home and get some rest. I'll meet
you on that flight in the morning.

And don't be late.

First class boards early,
and I like to make eye contact

with the people in coach
as they walk by.

I've actually been on the other
side of that rich guy stare.

See you tomorrow.

(Clears throat)

I love you, son.

- Thank you.
- No, don't you give me the "thank you."

I love you, too.

This is the final boarding call
for all first class passengers.

Oh, damn it.
Come on, Mr. Moyer.

Give me the rich guy stare?
I'm one of ya!

God sake.

(Man over P.A.) We will now begin
general boarding, rows 15 to 59.

Come on, Mr. Moyer.

Oh, great.

People who use boxes
for luggage are boarding.

(Panting)
Sorry, I'm so late.

Brody,
what are you doing here?

I couldn't stand a 20-minute
cab ride without you.

How am I gonna go halfway around
the world for God knows how long?

I'm so coming to Paris.

(Woman, amplified voice)
Attention passengers...

this is
your general boarding call

for La Croix Air,
flight 108 to Paris.

Oh, son of a bitch.

So what did you
tell Mansfield?

Well, I haven't told him yet. But, I think
deep down, he'll respect my decision.

(Mansfield on P.A.) Attention,
passenger Brody Moyer...

This is the final boarding call
for your career.

Deep, deep, deep down.

(Amplified voice) I'm warning you,
Mr. Moyer. Do not get on that flight.

Look, this is
for employees only.

It's okay. I'm first class.
Don't worry 'bout a thing.

- God, he sounds pretty upset.
- It's just tough love.

(Cell phone rings)

(Beep)

Sir, I'm sorry. I was gonna call you.
But I made a last-minute decision.

- You take all the time you need in Paris.
- Thank you, sir.

You're fired.

(Singsongy) Are you ready?

(Giggles) We're gonna have
so much fun.

Yeah.

Hey. You asleep?

No, man.
Not even for a second.

I don't know if it's because
my body's at a 45-degree angle,

or that you admitted to me that
this pillow came from a casket.

It's kind of fun, though, right? It's
like camp. You wanna hear a ghost story?

- Okay.
- Okay. So...

- Yesterday, I go open the clo...
- Stop, stop!

Yesterday? I don't wanna hear
a ghost story about yesterday, man.

How long have you
been living here?

I don't know.

Feels like
I've lived here forever.
