How to Make It in America (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - It's Not Even Like That - full transcript

Relationships: a wedding, romances, a breakup, and an upset stomach. Kappo worries about a wedding toast he's to give. Rachel gives Ben a gift she's brought from Paris; he makes it clear he wants a platonic relationship. They go to a wedding together on Long Island and have great time. Where does that leave Domingo? Rene's video has gone viral so he needs cash to pay for a large order of Rasta Monsta - but he's spent his stash on a gift for Debbie. Nancy comes through for CRISP but she wants newer photos of their line, so Cam approaches Felix with a big ask.

I thought you guys
would be perfect to design

the new Saint Max's
graduation t-shirt.

Saint Maximilian's
high school?

I keep waiting for you and me
to become something, but...

It never does.

Louis and I aren't
really feeling this.

If you weren't inspired,
you shouldn't have taken a job.

When I think back on how we were,
I get this...

I get like a bad feeling
in my stomach.

Art works when
it communicates the truth.



Maybe we should go honest,
a little more personal with it.

I love it.

What's up? Rough day?

I want it to feel like
my head doesn't exist.

Are you ready
for the Rasta Monsta, baby?

What the fuck is a Rasta Monsta?

I'm the Rasta Monsta!

No, no, no, no!

shh.

Oh my god, you cannot
keep me up so late.

These mornings
are fuckin' brutal.

A little wake and bake
to take the edge off.

What? No.

Oh my god.

I gotta be at work
in 30 minutes.

See, that's why
I'm self-employed.

I'm already
at the office.

They seen the video?
That's crazy!

Eddie: Seen it?
He loves it.

He loves it so much
he wants to meet with fredo.

- They liked the fire?
- Hell yeah.

He said all the kids in the area
are asking for rasta monsta.

And check this out- he wants
to test it in his chain,

A skateboard store
called vert.

There's 32 in southeast
new England alone.

This could be
really big.

How big is the order?

It's a really great
start.

That's good.

I gotta- I got-
I gotta go, eddie.

For real, debbie,

This is such a special moment
for me right now.

And I'm so glad you're here
to experience it with me.

Ooh.

"my little buddy from grade
school had graduated to manhood.

Ethan had fallen in love
with beautiful bianca. "

It sucks, right?
This sucks?

- Nah, you're doing good.
- I can't read a best-man speech.

I should just have
ben do it, right?

cam: No, try-

Shit.

- So ben's going?
- Yeah.

Me, ben and ethan- we all
went to high school together.

- Oh cool.
- It was actually Ben and Rachel

That set up ethan and bianca
on their first blind date.

That means rachel's
probably gonna be there too.

- Kappo, you want my advice?
- Yes.

Lose the paper,
speak from the heart.

Kappo, I got something for your
public-speaking woes, all right?

I know you got some troubles.

This, gentlemen,

Is the latest
in public consumption:

Thc spray.

One spray you're good.

Two sprays
and you'll be doing

Your own fucking version
of the king's speech.

does this work just like weed?

Yeah. Try it.

Hey, um, let me ask
you guys a question.

How would you feel if me and
Rachel were to get together?

- What?!
- Ben's Rachel?

Yeah, I mean she hasn't even been
dating him for like a year.

Oh, who cares? Rachel is always
gonna be Ben's girl in my mind.

- Okay, calm down.
- Dude, I know that look.

- What?
- Did something already happen?

- Forget it.
- How could you do that?

Dude, for real, you wanna
make something happen

With rachel,
you gotta talk to ben.

Okay. Forget it.
It's not even like that.

I'll talk to ben.
Are we cool?

Nancy: And before that, he was
the buyer for barneys

Until he left to open up
his own store- south willard.

I think he's gonna
really like your hoodies.

Yeah?

Black's good on you.
You should wear more of it.

All right, let's see
what you got here.

Where's the new stuff?

Yeah, we could use
some updating.

I can't sell this.

First of all, you guys can't
be in it. It's kind of cheesy.

- It looks like you can't afford real models.
- We can't.

Well, you don't need
to let people know that.

I mean, I'm sure you've got some
hot friends somewhere, right?

Just shoot them.

Gotta make it look cool- you know,
upscale, professional.

- When does ryan get in?
- Monday.

Done. We'll shoot
a new one this weekend.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I love that.

- "we'll just shoot another one this weekend. "
- easy.

- Very cool.
- So sorry I'm late.

Yes, it's good that
you could come here, cam.

We kind of have covered
everything though, right?

- Yeah.
- Ben'll bring you up to speed.

- Upscale.
- High-class.

I got a location
that could be dope.

- I'ma take care of it.
- All right, cool.

I was gonna ask domingo
if he should model.

What do you think?

- You wanna use domingo?
- Yeah.

- Dom's a good look, no?
- Yeah, maybe.

You know, kappo would kill
to do it too.

That could be cool,
kind of unexpected.

Come on, cam,
are you serious?

Yeah, no no no,
you're right.

- Let's use domingo.
- Yeah. All right, cool.

Robin: Oh, and my lunch today
is for sure gonna go long,

So if you could go to the meeting,
take notes

And let isabelle know
I'm running late.

Okay.

Has anybody ever told you

You've got like
a hostile listening face?

Um, what?

- N- no, I guess not.
- It's so weird.

It's like you listen,
but your face

Reads this sort of
"I hate you. "

Robert from legal
brought it up.

- I totally see it.
- Oh, sorry.

Anyway, you were
15 minutes late today.

Yes.
I'm sorry about that.

- The train was like-
- ah ah ah ah.

Rachel, I don't want anybody
who doesn't want to be here.

People would kill for this job-
I mean literally kill.

I- I don't think
you mean literally.

I need to see your passion
for "biscuit. "

If you don't wanna be here,
let me know now.

I wanna be here.
I I-love it here.

Good.
Pump up the passion.

- Domingo: What's this, man?
- Ben: Adam tushman's bar mitzvah invite.

- What?
- A freelance gig.

Man, the jews love
black people, don't they?

It's the shared
oppression.

So you know,
rachel's a custy now.

- Rachel buys weed?
- Yeah.

- What?
- Now I know it's weird, but if it's cool with you,

I was thinking about
asking her for dinner.

Is there a shortage of 18-year-old
model chicks arriving from minnesota?

Pshh, no, man.

She went dog walking
with me one day.

It was really cool.

I just wanted to run it by you,
see how you felt about it.

Well, not to sound
like a dick,

But the whole reason for Rachel
and I not working out

was about me not being
career-motivated.

- O-kay.
- You know, and-

I mean, you got the dog walking
and the weed dealing.

I just-
I hate to see you

Waste your time
with her, you know?

Yeah, I mean I get it.
I get it. No worries.

So when do you guys need me
to get my zoolander on?

- 10:00.
- Am?

- Yes.
- You got it, bro.

- All right.
- See you.

- See you.
- Come on, mooshoo.

Wow.
I see how it goes.

Work the girl
to get to the dad.

- Come on, it's not even like that.
- It isn't?

We just need a location
that feels premium for the look book.

And you know nothing's more premium
than your dad's place.

Look, it's not
a bad thing.

You got balls.
My dad will like that.

Your dad likes balls?

You're funny.

And you're beautiful, lulu.

Look, cam,

You don't have to hustle me,
all right?

But if you wanna bring some Bruno
Cannoli when you go over there,

My dad will be
into that.

Gangsta.

I wanna get a od luck charm
for my good luck charm.

Aw, Rene.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- What do you like?
- Oh, I don't know.

Oh my gosh, those canaries
like inka trump wears.

Can we see those?

Oh, you can't get those for me.
Those are too much.

Hey, where I come from, we say
"you go big or you go home. "

Yeah, okay, papí. Just don't
go too big and go homeless.

You're a good woman

And you give a hell
of a wake-up call.

Try 'em on.

hi.

Do you wanna take
the train

To ethan and bianca's
wedding with me?

Um... Sure.

Why not?

Well, unless you got
other plans.

Uh... No.

Do I have a- do I have
a hostile listening face?

I don't know.
Why are you asking me this?

Because I was
at work and-

You know what-
you do actually.

I do? Yeah, my-
my boss hates me for it.

What?
You can't help that.

That's not fair.
It's like a disability.

- Maybe you could sue.
- Oh my god, I'm getting off the phone.

- Hey hey.
- Hey, boss, can I talk to you for a sec?

Yeah yeah, sure.

Remember how you told me
not to come to you with problems

But to think things through
and come to you with solutions?

- Yeah.
- Well, you need to write rasta monsta

A $30,000 check
from your personal account.

- What happened?
- Jabar: The bottling plant-

They can't fulfill
the vert order.

It's too big and we're kind of
maxed out creditwise.

What?

We don't have
the cash on hand,

So I figured why not
dip into your personal

Till we collect
on accounts due?

That's your solution?
That's what you came up with?

That I should pay
the difference?

Mike's idea was to go
rob some drug dealers.

I told him we can't do
that kind of stuff no more.

- But I was only kidding. I wasn't serious.
- Yeah right.

So you're saying
I should cover it?

Puñeta, man.

You guys still
don't get it, man.

You're in charge
of accounts receivable.

- Who owes us money?
- Half of flushing.

- That's park territory?
- Yeah.

Ben:So you getting
settled in?

I honestly haven't even
properly unpacked

And I'm in the middle
of starting this job

And I'm really just a mess
when it comes to that.

- Are you seeing anybody?
- What? No.

I mean, there is
this one guy

Sort of outside
of my world,

Like an unusual
choice for me.

Like a cowboy?

Yeah, he's a cowboy.
His name's cowboy rudy.

He's a cowboy.
How'd you guess?

Maybe you should give
cowboy rudy a shot.

You never know, right?

Felix, man, I need to ask you
for a serious favor.

I normally
wouldn't ask you,

But it's kind of
an emergency.

What, do you need
a kidney?

Can I use yo place
for a photo shoot tomorrow?

See,e gotta update
our look book.

But in order to do that,
we've gotta shoot it

In a premium good location,so I.

Mm-hmm.
What's your budget?

- Around three.
- 3,000?

Hundred dollars.

Nah.
No no, you can't.

I'm just fuckin'
with you.

No, I don't want
your money.

See, for me it's not
about the money.

If you wanna use
my place,

Well, you're gonna
have to win it.

Aah!

Ow.
Oh, my back.

Shit, you all right?

Oh, that was tremendous.
Cam, that was tremendous!

Oh.

Woman:
Yeah, how are you doing?

- Hey. Piper.
- Hey, guys.

- How are you?
- Hi.

- How great is this?
- Yeah.

I mean, I can't believe you set
them up on a blind date

And now they're
getting married.

- You guys, it's crazy.
- It is pretty crazy, right?

So how long have you two
been together now?

- Oh well, we're not actually together.
- Yeah, we're buddies.

Oh. You still look
really good together, guys.

- Thanks.
- Um...

Is that a weird thing
to say?

- No, it's-
- no.

I'm sorry.
I'm already wasted.

- I'm gonna see you inside.
- See you, pipe.

- Hey, David.
- Hello, Rachel.

"when two corporations merge,
the results are unknown.

Even the best analysts
on wall street can't predict

How this new single entity
will perform.

But in the case
of ethan and bianca,

I think it's safe to say
call your broker

And get in
on the ground floor. "

Look, I'm not really good
at public speaking.

Um... I just
wanna say this-

Seeing my dear friend ethan
and his new wife bianca,

It's beautiful.

It's hard to find
your soulmate.

I don't know how to do it.
I- I know this though-

You can't live
in an imaginary world

And expect to find
something real.

Ethan and bianca have always
been real with each other.

I've never seen
a couple like this.

They celebrate
each other's imperfections,

'cause it's not
about fairy tales;

It's about
what's in your heart.

What's in their heart
is- is love.

It's perfefiery,mperfect,
tit's unconditional,

And, most of all,
it's real.

Hi, baby.

You want me to warm up some chuletas
y arroz con gandules?

Ooh, you're too good to me.

so I got you something.

You already got me
something.

I got you
something better.

What's that?

Open it.

Oh my god!
They're ginormous.

Rene,
what are you doing?

Take those off.
I upgraded you.

- Are you serious?
- Only the best for my girl.

I don't want these.

Wh- what do you mean
you don't want them?

- Look at them.
- I like mine better.

Why would you buy me
fake diamonds, rene?

What are you
talking about?

Look, I got these from
this sephardic brother-

I know diamonds.
Those are fake.

Why would you do me
like that?

I'm telling you
they're not fake.

They're a little dusty. Just
a little polishing, that's it.

I've dated hoods
my whole life-

Always 60¢ short
on the fucking dollar.

- I'm not a hood.
- Well, from where I'm standing,

you look like
another broke-ass hustler

Trying to get over
on somebody.

But I'm smarter
than that.

- I think you should just leave.
- Aw, come on, debbie.

It's not even like that.
Look, they're just earrings.

Well, good.
You keep the big ones

And I'll keep the little ones
as a parting gift.

Thank you.

Is she asleep?

Oh yeah.

I wanted to talk
to you about-

There's something that's
been eating me up inside.

What's up?

I don't even know
if I should say anything

Because I don't know
anything officially,

But I got a pretty bad
feeling about it.

All right, now you're
starting to scare me.

Just tell me.

- Just say it.
- What?

The sec is investigating
my boss.

- And if he talks, I'm next.
- What?

Last summer I was
at a conference in vegas

And I met this cute
analyst chick

And we got wasted

And she drunkenly
told me some things.

And I stupidly
told them to my boss

And he ran with it.

I don't understand.
Is that illegal?

Ben, I'm more than likely
gonna go to the federal pen.

What?
Are you serious?

Yeah.

You'd still be my friend
if I was broke?

Of course.

No, okay, you say that,
but think about it.

There's gonna be
no more car service,

No more bottles at the clubs,
no more dinners,

- No more park avenue apartment.
- Come on, man.

Those things, they're cool, but that's
not the reason I'm friends with you.

Look, I got a couch with your name
on it should you ever need it.

Take this.

What did we just
talk about?

- Keep your watch.
- Ben...

- no, I want you to have it.
- I'm not... no.

Or you can hawk it and pay
your rent for three years.

- Take it, take it.
- Kappo, keep your watch. Okay, man?

this is really good.

Yes.
Cheap and drinkable.

Sorry, dude.

Not gonna happen
for you right now.

Why? What's wrong?

You smell like my father.

We need to take a shower.

Okay.

- So...
- So?

It was a fucking great day.

- Yeah, it was.

Let me say something, and I know
you're gonna think I'm insane,

But I'm just gonna say it.

- Yeah, say it.
- Okay.

You know the guy

I was telling you
that I'm seeing?

- Yeah.
- Cowboy rudy?

- Yes, cowboy rudy.
- Okay.

Maybe you won't even care.
I don't know.

I just wanna-
I wanted to tell you

So that you didn't find out
from somebody else.

Um, cowboy rudy

Is domingo.

I know.
It's weird.

Are you pissed?
You're pissed.

No, I'm... Not pissed.

I'm just...
A little surprised.

Yeah, that's why I was gonna
tell you, but it's like-

- It's cool.
- It is?

- Yeah.
- Okay, cool.

I think you guys make
a great- great couple.

- Ben, we're not a couple.

last night.

- She says you guys are dating.
- Aw st, man.

What, you fuck her and then you ask me
if it's cool to take her to dinner?

Fam, it's not even
like that, all right?

This shit was so random
the way it happened.

The way it happened?
You tell me how it happened,

'cause you came at me with some
half-assed dog-walking bullshit

And the whole time
you're lying to me.

- That's lame, man.
- Okay, you wanna be real?

- Yeah, be real.
- I like rachel

And rachel likes me,
the dog-walking drug dealer.

Who would've thought
that shit, huh?

- Whatever, man.
- Yeah, whatever.

Domingo! Yo!

Come back. Let's work
this shit out after.

Well, fuck you then,

Fuck you!

What are we gonna do now?

Did you know about
him and rachel?

No, not officially.

Wow.

- Where is the loyalty, man?
- What do you want me to say?

I told him to talk
to you immediately.

It's pretty

- It's cool.

It came out all right,
didn't it?

Yeah. There's this
one margin over there-

It's a little bit
messed up,

But I could run it
through the machines again.

- You want it to be perfect, right?
- Yeah.

- Yeah, I do.
- Cool.

- Hey, thanks, man.
- No problem.

Ben.

no no, I just- I dozed off.

I was watching
"The Cosby Show. "

When I was little,
I used to dream

that dr. Huxtable
would adopt me.

I was just checking in on you.
Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm good.

- Thanks for calling, man.
- Of course.

- Hit me tomorrow.
- Yeah, I will.

All right, cool.
Peace.
