I Am Syd Stone (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Shell-shocked - full transcript

In the aftermath of a night of passion with Matt, Syd experiences a wave of intense guilt. But his attraction to him is undeniable. Upon leaving for another day on set, Syd runs into the last person he ever expected to see.

Hi.

Hey.

Sorry, I didn't mean
to wake you.

No, that's fine.

Actually the maid's
coming soon, so...

This early?

No, but production
gives her the call times

and they like to clean
the suites early

'cause you know,
they're big, so...

No, I gotta be
in court by eight anyway.

I won't be long.



Hey, do you think maybe
I could get your number?

Yeah...

What?

I kinda smashed
my phone the other night.

Top drawer.

Jesus.

Did you throw it off
a building or something?

Don't talk to anyone.

Wait a sec.
Hold on.

Look, I told you,
my call time is...

You can't just fuck me
and then leave me

with no way of contacting you.

You know where to find me.

Yeah.



Hey, Don't answer that!

Hey.

Hi!

Why aren't you
answering your phone?

I broke it.

Well I left you like,

three messages
on your room phone.

Yeah, I don't listen to those.

Okay, well...

do you want to grab
a bite to eat or...

do you have time before set?

Yes.
Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Absolutely.

Okay, great.
Ha, hi.

I'm just going to grab my stuff.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

It's around the corner,
so this way.

- Great.
- Yeah, c'mon.

I'll do the fruit plate.

And a glass of lemon water.

I'll get a...

a coffee, to go.

No problem.

Thanks.

So, apparently you've
been ignoring Geri as well?

Yeah, well I told you...

Yeah, she said that she sent you

an amazing script
a couple of days ago

and then you just stopped
taking her calls.

Yeah, well the script is...

I mean, it's shit.

Then can you just tell her that

so she can get off my ass?

Yeah. Yeah,
I'll call her.

Hey, what are you...

what are you doing here?

What?

Come on.
I didn't mean it like that.

What do you, like...

I didn't know you were coming.

That's kinda the point
of a surprise, babe.

Right.

Wow. Okay.
Should I go?

No! No, no.
No, no. No.

Come here.
I just...

It's the movie,
all right? It's...

It's a fucking
movie-of-the-week.

Yeah, I know.
But it's...

you know.

Just give me the room key, okay?

What?
Why?

I just flew a red eye
across the country

and I'd like to get some sleep.

You're food's on the way.

No, you can have it.

Yeah well, the maid,
she just started cleaning.

I mean, it's going to be like,
probably 40 minutes.

I can wait.

Hey, hey,
wait, wait, wait, wait!

Actually, I was thinking you
could come to set with me?

What?

Yeah. Cindy,
the makeup artist,

you know, you worked
with her before.

She always talks about
you guys. It would be nice,

you can hang out, we can meet.

You know what?
I was on set for 14 hours

and then hopped onto
a seven hour flight.

And now I'm going to
go to sleep.

Babe.

Um, hi.

Shit.
Sorry sir,

I'll come back
for all of this later.

Hey.

Hey. You're the one
on the show, right?

Sorry?

The one about
the Secretary of State?

Yup, that is me.

Yeah, my wife loves that show?

But you don't know
what it's called?

No, no. I let
her do her thing, you know?

Great.

How long you guys in town for?

You got any plans?

No, nothing crazy.

Actually.
I'm just in for the night.

But I'm sure Syd's
got it all planned out.

Just for the night?

He he he hey.
Nice!

Hey. D'you wanna
run lines?

No, thanks.

You sure? There's
a whack of dialogue.

Hey, anyone want a smoke?

No, thanks.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll take a smoke.

Is he okay?

Yeah, man.
He's good.

You know, they should've
hired him a stunt double.

No, he should've trained harder.

But he's an actor.

Right? He's not
a professional athlete.

What, he can't be both?

C'mon.

Does he want to be?

What?!

Hey, Syd.
They're ready for ya.

Hey, why don't you
stick to playing make-believe

and let me do the parenting.

They're ready, guys.
