He's with Me (2013–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - Adult Men, Part One - full transcript

I'm just treading lightly.

I think I've made it pretty
obvious I'm interested.

I thought I'd
actually made a connection

with someone.

We did have a connection,
didn't we?

God, you have nice hair.

Hello.

Well hi, Earl.

Yes, it has been a long time,

how are things at The Voice?

Okay, sure I can meet you.



Same place?

Great, okay.

All right, see you then.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I know I'm unannounced

and I know you never
really wanna see me

and I know you're probably
busy doing something

but I just wanted to come
by and let you know that

I got a job.

Don't you ever
run out of relatives?

You know,
it's not for a relative.

I got a job working in
development at the Q Center.

It's a supportive
space for LGBT youth

and I am in charge
of the events.



Yeah, looks like all
those jobs I've worked

have finally come in handy.

And it's for something good.

Wow, I'm impressed, Benny.

Are you?

I am.

Guess I owe you an apology.

You mean for how
you've been treating me

all these years?

No.

Or for slamming
the door in my face

at every chance you get?

For not giving you the
benefit of the doubt.

Ever.

You really proved me wrong.

I proved Martin Adams wrong.

Can I get you to say that
on film, where's my phone.

No, but you can let
me take you to lunch

to congratulate you.

Like a date?

Like a lunch date.

Not dating that
Lyle guy anymore?

No.

Are club sandwiches sexy?

What are you doing?

What the hell are you
writing in that damn book?

I didn't want you to think
that I didn't trust you

so I didn't press you on it

but we have been walking around
here like polite strangers

trying not to bump
into each other

or ask each other
what we're doing.

And you've never
ever ever hinted once

what you're writing in that book

so what the hell are you
writing in that damn book?

Honey, all I am
writing in that damn book

is just about
my ho-hum everyday life.

What?

A few months ago, I
went to see a shrink.

You did, why?

Why didn't you tell me?

Well I went because
of a lot of things.

I mean, I got that promotion

and it just felt like you know?

We got Chico and I don't think
that dog likes me very much.

So a general who gives a
shit feeling about life

started to creep in

because those things didn't
feel the way that I felt

when I met you and when
we got married.

So every day, I would wake up

and I would see this
giant memo in my brain.

Note to Eddie, you feel
disconnected from your life

and you need to
figure out how to get rid

of this who gives
a shit feeling.

Wow, that's a sad memo.

Why didn't you just tell me.

Well it just sounded so whiny,

like I was writing this book

called "Rich White
Man Problems".

Rich man?

Okay, maybe not so rich.

So can I read it now?

Actually, I gave it to Martin.

You what?

Of all people, why did
you give it to Marty?

He is a pretty good writer.

He's actually been a
really good shoulder for me

these last few months.

It's been kind of surprising.

Wow, I feel like you've
had all these things

happen to you inside

and I haven't even
really been a part of it.

Babe I'm sorry, I didn't
really wanna keep you out,

it's just that

I felt like I needed to do
this thing on my own, you know?

I needed to get through
this with me and me.

Do you get it?

Yeah, I think so.

I also have been having the
who gives a shit feeling.

You know?

There's only one thing that's
really made a difference

and I didn't even realize
it until the other night.

Are you sure, Val?

I mean, I wasn't at first.

And then I thought to myself
how can I not take advantage

of this incredible opportunity.

- It is a good opportunity.
- I know it is.

I mean, I'm so grateful
to you, Naomi, really.

And it's good to know

that I can learn new things
and make a difference

but you know, when you're
presented with an opportunity

and you're immediately unsure...

Kinda feel like that's a sign
it's not really what I want.

- I think I get it.
- Yeah?

Yeah.

I mean, you were looking
at something presented.

I was beside myself when I
found out I was pregnant.

I mean, I was running a business

and my husband was out of work

so I was his support
system as well as my own

and now a baby?

Yeah, it took me a while
to find my sea legs,

only to get queasy
again once I found them.

Yeah, I think I found mine.

I love yoga.

And I really love being
able to help people.

Adams,
sorry to keep you waiting.

Mr. Gibson, good to see you.

Can I get you a drink?

You're a waiter now, I
thought you were an ad man.

And what I hear lately,
a pretty damn good one.

Good to see you.

- Great to see you.
- All right.

So it seems that Lyle
Pressman rang me up yesterday

gushing about the latest
spot you did for them.

I mean, he loves them.

Something about an 8% spike in
sales for the past two weeks.

I mean, that's sick.

That's very gratifying.

Gratifying?

Gratifying, my ass,
it's mandatory.

It's what we do.

Although I must admit,

some schmuck running around
in a cockroach costume

is not gonna win us many
awards at Cannes this year.

But we've got one happy client.

Look Ted, this morning when
I woke up, I lay in bed and

I was thinking to myself
what can I do today

to help bring us along,
change the way we do business.

So I had his vision of a young
man in a brand new office

looking out this nice,
large window,

his back was to me so I
couldn't see who he was,

and he was watching this sunset,

he was watching this beautiful
light fall on the skyscrapers

and they were staring
right back at him.

And he was on the phone,
this guy.

He was screaming
at some art director

telling him "Stop
bringing me the crap

"you've been bringing me

"and let's try for
something more original."

and he hung up the
phone and turned around

and I realized that
that man was you.

You got that picture, Ted?

I've decided to appoint you

a new head of creative
for the agency.

Providing of course,
you'll take the job.

You wanna make
me head of creative?

Let's face it Ted,

you've got something
that we need right now.

You've got some balls
and you've got integrity.

It's a good combination.

So let's get me a drink,
let's order some lunch

and let's sit around and discuss

how we might make this all work.

Now where the
hell is the waiter?

I'll waiter?
