Life Unexpected (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 8 - Bride Unbridled - full transcript

Previously on Life Unexpected:

You and someone had a kid.
You gave up that kid.

- I am that kid.
- Cate cassidy, that's your mom.

I am Cate Cassidy. Ryan and
I have been up since 5:00.

And as usual,
arguing since 6:00.

What are you doing?
Will you marry me?

You've met the qualifications
as foster parents

and will be granted temporary
joint custody of Lux.

Oh, my God! Tell me this didn't happen! It happened
- twice.

What are you doing here? I was going
to see if Lux wanted to grab a bite.

I'm taking her driving. Don't you
think it's more of a dad-type duty?



Well, when she's here,
I kind of fill that role.

Bug left. I did what you said.

I told him the truth
and he left.

That family wants me.
They're three hours away.

We've never been that far.

Sleeping with Baze again-

it was the biggest
mistake of my life.

When did you sleep
with Baze again?

It's over.

I need you to take Tasha,
to live with us.

Lux, I can't. This is the
only thing I'll ever ask you.

I'm sorry.
Me, too.

First and foremost, you have
to take care of yourself.

Because nobody else will.



Get a mani-pedi,

wax your lady business,
you know, whatever it is,

do it for yourself-
not for him.

WOMAN Thank you, Cate.
I know you're right.

Yeah, or else,
before you know it,

you're wandering down the aisles

of supermarkets

scrounging for free samples
in your give-ups.

Give-ups?

Yeah, sweatpants.

Sweats in public are give-ups.

No matter how cute they are
or what they say across the ass,

because that's what
you're telling the world-

"I give up and I'm hungry."

Hey, sweatpants are a perfectly
comfortable option.

I wear them, Michelle Obama
wears them.

Baze wears them.

The point is, Cate,
you have Ryan

so it doesn't matter
what you wear.

You're right, Lucy,
it doesn't matter.

But for the record,

I call my sweatpants move-ons,
because that's what I'm doing

when I wear them.

And right now, I'm going to be
moving on to weather

with Hazy Daisy
on Morning Madness.

Daisy, take it away.

Is this what it's going to be
like every morning?

You taking snipes at me
and making swipes at Baze,

because that's not making
this any easier.

Well, it sure as hell can't make
it any harder.

You guys are doing great.

Better than
I thought.

This isn't awkward at all.

If Bug wanted
to work things out,

he would've called by now.

Same with Gavin.

Can you believe what jerks
our boyfriends turned into?

Yours takes off when you ask him
to treat you better

and mine dry-humps
a skateboarding tramp

behind my back.

I can't believe
he did that to you.

Though for all I know, Bug
could be doing the same thing.

Or maybe he's laying in a ditch
somewhere, left for dead.

Comforting, Tash.

Like a warm blanket.

Oh, whatever.

He'll be back
sooner or later; you'll see.

Bug's a good guy, deep down.

Just feels like everyone
I know is disappearing.

I'm here.

No, you're three hours away.

What happened with Cate?
Did you guys talk?

Why bother.
She doesn't get it.

No one does.

What about Baze?

Baze is...

milking a cow?

Hold on, Tash.

What?

I thought we were going to
squeeze in some driving lessons

before school.

I'm not feeling it.

And you suck
at miming.

Well, how about school?
Are you feeling school?

'Cause I'm feeling it.

Maybe Monday.

I got to admit, I was
psyched about having Lux

stay with us,
but she's so depressing.

And how long can she cry over
a guy with a web on his neck?

She'll get over him.

Yeah? Like you got over Cate?

You and Jamie really
need some new material.

I don't want to dampen your
new adventures in Daddyland,

but you can't keep
letting Lux skip school.

That's two days in a row now.

I'll have her back Monday.

I don't want to push her
too hard, you know?

Kids need to be pushed.

And Lux needs friends,
which she can't make

if she's never at school.

She has friends.
Name one.

Tasha.

One that lives in Portland.

Come on.

How can my kid
not have friends?

She does. There's um...

The... The beer
delivery guy-

what's his face.

Manuelo?

Manuelo. Always
chatting it up.

Oh, what the hell...?

Hey.

I thought I'd drop by
on my way to school.

You okay, little dude?

Yeah, it backfires
now and then, but...

You're Lux's dad, right?

I think I remember you
yelling and screaming.

Bug stole your car.
I remember.

What are you doing here?

Um, I have stuff for Lux-
homework.

I thought she
might want it.

Math could have done that.

I, uh, I volunteered.

You're checking up on her.

I saw how that Bug guy
was to her.

I just thought she
could use a friend.

So, uh... y-you consider
yourself a friend... of Lux's?

Yeah.

I don't know if
Lux told you

about the bike
thing and Bug...

Bug-
Bug's out of the picture.

Exterminated, so to speak.

But not dead.

He just took off.

So we should be seeing a
decline of auto theft soon.

And Lux, is she okay?

If "okay" means "moody
and antisocial,"

yeah, she's okay.

You know...

...you could do me a favor.

And seeing that you clearly
want an excuse to see Lux,

maybe it's not that much
of a favor to ask after all.

Now, I know a great mechanic
who can check out your wheels,

no cost to you.

All you have to do
is say yes.

What's the question?

You're asking me out?

Like, on a date?

Why?

What do you mean why?

'Cause I want
to go out with you.

What do you
have in mind?

I stand in the cheering
section at one of your games?

We share a milkshake
at the Dairy Hut?

Don't hate on milkshakes.

You know what I mean.

You're... you're Abercrombie.

I'm the Foster Freak
Bong Girl.

There's an inherent
compatibility issue.

Really?

I thought it was
the classic story.

Boy meets Bong Girl.

Boy tries to
kiss Bong Girl.

Boy awkwardly asks
out Bong Girl...

How about this:
You and me, tomorrow.

No cheering section,

no milkshakes.

I think I know
something you'll love.

How do you know what I love?

I have my ways.

But you won't find out
unless you say yes.

I love my job, I do,

especially since Lux is
gone, Ryan dumped me,

and my job is all I have
left in the world.

That's the spirit.

But you can't realistically
expect Ryan and I

to keep pretending
to be engaged and in love,

when our entire relationship

has fallen apart.

What I can't do is keep
changing the show

to match your latest crisis.

I'm not even a producer
anymore- I'm a janitor.

I mopped up the Lux thing,

the engagement thing,
the Baze thing-

with corporate
and our audience-

and now everyone loves Cate
and Ryan, the happy couple,

so until further notice,
that's who you are, okay?

Right.

I made my bed, now
I have to lie about it.

Awesome.

I know that it's tough,

but, hey, maybe you guys
will work things out.

Or hey, maybe we won't.

You know, as long as Ryan
is baring his teeth at me,

it's not like I'm gonna say,

"Hey, here, here,
here's my heart.

Why don't you
chew it up again?"

You know, between him
calling off the engagement,

and Lux leaving me
for Baze...

None of that.

I need you to buck up and
keep it together, okay?

Breaking down
is not an option.

I know. I won't.

I just need the weekend off,

so I don't have to
think about Ryan

and engagements and weddings.

That's funny.

You're kidding, right?

Do you know what
tomorrow is?

Saturday.

Okay, I'm going
to try again.

Do you remember, after we
announced your engagement,

you and Ryan agreed to be the
celeb hosts at the bridal expo?

Wait, you didn't cancel that?!

No, I didn't cancel that.

I can't just cancel it, Cate.

There is a lot- a lot-
of money involved,

and we're using
the expo to launch

the new marketing
campaign.

What new marketing campaign?

Remember, you said
it yourself,

you love your job.

Who knew Hell was
a bridal expo?

I kind of did.

And I don't want to add
any unnecessary pressure

'cause I know you're on the
verge of going postal, but...

Oh, ballroom dancing,
bridal photo shoot,

"Nearlywed" Game?

What, no practicing
for the wedding night

to dial this day up to
completely insufferable?

Okay, let's think
more bubbly bride,

less unbridled bitch?

It's fine, it's fine.
I can do it.

It's only eight hours.

How hard can it be?

Hey, they're asking for
the happy couple on stage.

That's us.

You can do this.

Remember- bubbly.

Jones, my man.

Hey, how's the car?

Running great.
Yeah?

You really didn't
have to do that, man.

Hey, just helping
a brother out.

Okay, now, do you have
everything you need?

Gas money? Road sodas?
Tofurkey jerky?

Yeah, we're good.

Okay, let me go get her.

Hey. What are
you doing?

Jones is here.
I know!

Right on time.

This is already
a disaster!

Who goes on dates at 9:00 a.m.?

Well, apparently, little dude's

got big plans.

Yeah... Yes,
he says it's a surprise.

Surprise!
Worst date ever.

Bug never would've
picked me at 9:00 a.m.

And when the waiter
brought my nachos,

there it was around
a jalapeño-

my engagement ring.

And then the
mariachi band

was playing "Here
Comes the Bride,"

and I was, like, " Sí,
Oscar! Sí, Sí, Sí!

Um, Yeah.

Muchas graçias, Ashley.

Okay, now, please welcome

our radio hosts,
from K-100's Morning Madness,

Cate and Ryan!

We can do this, right?

Well, if anybody
can lie, it's you.

And they're gonna share

their engagement story
while we tally the votes.

What up, Portland!

And congratulations,

you girls are
a tough act to follow.

Uh, right, the
classic nacho story-

how charming is that?

So, if you're a fan
of Morning Madness,

you already know our story.

Proposing to Kate was like...

going on a Japanese game show
- there was a lot of yelling,

a lot of things being
thrown at your head.

Oh, it was one remote.

I felt ambushed.

Or, as some women
say, "surprised."

I tried again.

It was touch and go
there for a while,

but, uh... she
finally said yes.

Well, actually,

I asked you back.

And you said yes.

Yeah.

I sure did.

I think that Philip
has our winner.

Philip?

Okay, you guys want
to know who won?

All right!
Yeah!

If you were lost,
would you admit it?

'Cause we seem really lost.

It seems like we've been
driving for, like, two days.

We're not lost.

MAN
One, two, three...

Shut up!

What?

Wha...? Who gave you
this mix?

What do you mean?

I made it.

Change it if you want.

No, no. I love it.

The Shaky Hands, Red Fang,
the Dirty Mittens!

We have pretty much exactly
the same taste in music.

And me and my friend Tasha saw
the Shaky Hands at Pop Now.

No way.
Mm-hmm.

Last July?
Mm-hmm.

I was there.

But that place was tiny.

I probably spilled
a drink on you.

I'd remember that.

I can't believe
you like them.

If this was a cheesy
romantic comedy,

this would be when
we fell totally in love,

realize we were soul mates.

Or not.

You might be the only
father in America

who's actually encouraging
his daughter's dating life.

Okay. Here's a reality check-
you see that couch?

No Lux. Why?

Because Lux is out having fun
with her friend,

the high school quarterback.

Now, what do you
think about that?

Huh?
Whoa.

Your phone was
on vibrate, and...

why is Ryan texting you?

Huh?

Maybe he's
finally apologizing.

For what?

For punching you off the car.

I mean, what was that about?
What'd you ever do to him?

Yeah, who knows?

That's not my phone;
that's Lux's phone.

Let me look at this.

Dude, invasion
of privacy.

No, no, no.

Why is Ryan texting Lux?

"Hang in there, kiddo.

"Sorry to hear about Bug,

but Jones sounds
like he's a good guy-"

Okay,

why is Lux talking
to Ryan about Jones?

I'm the Jones connection.

There would be
no Jones without me.

Baze, put it down.
Seriously?

Okay, okay, listen to this.

"I'm at a bridal expo all day,

"but how does
next Saturday sound

for car shopping?"

He's buying her a new car?
Are you kidding me?

She won't even let me
give her driving lessons.

I try to get
her a car,

he knocks me off of it.

She... She doesn't talk
to me about boys.

I mean, no wonder I
can't get any traction-

I'm being secretly undermined

by Captain
Jerk Sauce.

Whatever
you're doing,

don't.
What?

What?

What single guy
doesn't love bridal expos?

I mean, I'm just gonna go,
and I am going to

do a little drive-by, take
in the new tuxedo trends,

peruse a new
china pattern or two.

I am gonna show Ryan

that just because
he punched me off of the car

does not mean
that he won the fight.

This is not a good idea.

I now pronounce you...

husband and meringue.

Oh, sweetie,
it's... one photo

for a Web site.

We don't have
to find the gown,

just... one that's
not hideous.

Oh, they're all hideous on me.

They really are.
That? Not helping.

Look, if you want to cry,

now's the time to do it-
you've got...

four minutes.

I'm not gonna cry.

I just keep
thinking how...

how I am supposed to be
one of those girls.

You know?

Meeting with a florist,

tasting cake...

I love cake.
Do you, uh,

do you want me to get you
a tissue? No, I'm fine.

Because now I'm not
one of those girls,

and I'm not gonna be,
and I just...

I just have
to be okay with that.

Are you sure? You've still
got three and a half minutes.

Stop timing me!

All right.

Well, eyes on the prize.

If you can get through this,
you can get through anything-

the show,

alienating your loved ones...

being alone for
the rest of your life.

Where's Cate?

Hi.

Uh, we're looking for,
uh, Cate and Ryan.

Yeah, who isn't?
They're backstage.

All right, we'll find
'em. Uh, I'm sorry.

You know Cate and Ryan?
Yeah.

I'm the father of Cate's kid.

And this big guy
wishes he was.

You're Baze.

Baze from the show.

Yeah.
Heard you were quite

the spectacle
at the car show last week.

You're becoming
a K-100 staple.

That's me.

Just can't stay away.

Uh, Alice, never mind
the super fans-

I got something much better.

Do you want to...
come with me?

Come on.

This is it?

Yep.

Hm.

Am I meeting
your grandparents?

'Cause that would be

really weird
for a first date.

Oh, my God.

Tasha!

You made it!

How did you know?

I called her
and got the address.

I mean, we could still go to
the Dairy Hut, if you'd rather.

doesn't make me look...

totally marshmallowy.

You don't look
marshmallowy at all.

You look beautiful.

That's exactly
how I imagined.

Not that I...

was thinking about it for hours,
it's just, you know, yeah,

I had this image of what
I thought you might look like

on our wedding day.

I'm glad I got to see it.

Well, now you can go
back to hating me.

I don't hate you, Cate.

And if I hated you, this...
wouldn't be so hard.

You're not the only one trying
to make it through the day.

Is that what we're trying to do?

Uh, Cate... I mean,
if we can pretend

like this for the world,

act like nothing happened...

can't we just do that

It doesn't work like that.

But we can try.

Can't we?

What is taking so long?

Ryan, you're supposed
to be getting her.

Yeah, right.

Cate, we have
a photo shoot.

Just forget it;
we'll do it later.

We're behind schedule.

Wait, wait...

We'll talk later.

Are you still good?

Hm? Good.

Here. Put this on.

Couple of things,
real quick.

One- this will
be over soon.

Two- I had
nothing to do

with picking out
the contestants.

What contestants?

And you look so pretty.

K-100 welcomes you
to our main event!

Featuring our blushing
bride-to-be Cate Cassidy

and her fiancé Ryan Thomas!

Now, you two are
just months away

from your big day,

but Ryan, how well
do you really know Cate?

Well, I'd say,
I'd say it's around

70 to 85%
on a good day.

What am I,
a pie chart?

Now, today, you're
gonna have to prove

that you know the person
you're about to marry

better than
anyone else.

If I can have you sit over here.

And to give Ryan
a run for his money,

please welcome our contestants,

two superfans
of Morning Madness,

Cate's high school stalker
Matthew!

Math?

I'm, I'm not a stalker.

I'm a longtime fan.
Okay.

Then tell them
I'm not a stalker.

And you know him from the show,

Cate's high school crush, Baze!

What the hell's going on?

What are you doing here?

Oh, you know me,
K-100 superfan.

I just love these contests.

Best of luck to you, Ryan.

And welcome to
the "Nearlywed Game."

Now remember, just because

they look like
the perfect couple

doesn't mean they are...

Listen to me.

I have been doing well,

really well,
until this happened.

You need to makehis
the opposite of happening.

...really knows Cate
as well as he thinks he does.

And I'll take it
from here.

Thank you, Phillip.
Thank you.

Well, this should be fun
and brief.

Since everyone knows

that Cate and Ryan are
a match made in heaven- right?

Aw...

So I'll ask a question,

guys, you'll write down
an answer.

You know,
you're unbelievable.

You don't know
any boundaries.

You're one to talk.

What's next for Lux,
a starter ho?

Excuse me, guys?
Huh?

You'll write down your answers.

and whoever matches Cate's
wins the point.

Bring it.

So it's okay here?

Eh, it's whatever.

I was right. They just
wanted a babysitter.

Yeah.

Like, the Owens,

do you remember
Chuck and Rachel?

Oh, yeah, the Children
of the Corn, mm-hmm.

Didn't they, like, try
to set you on fire?

I still flinch whenever someone
strikes a match.

So, Jones...

he's cuter than I remember.

You know, he was at that show,

the Shaky Hands,
the one we snuck into.

Hm!

You know, Bug never would've

done anything this thoughtful.

Not true.

He would've driven you here.

In a stolen car.

Speaking of-
he, uh, he called.

He's in Sacramento
at some hostel-

"Rose" something-
I wrote

his number down,
and I told him

if he talks to Gavin,
tell him to suck it.

I don't know if I want it.

I told Bug
he was a moron to leave.

Take it anyway, in case
you change your mind.

And we have Matt at zero,
and Ryan at two,

and surprisingly,
Baze at three.

Okay, let's switch it up
for the last question,

and Cate can match.

Pens down. Everyone ready?

The question was:
"What is Cate's favorite song?"

Math?

What does that say?

"I couldn't remember the name,
but she sang it

"in a talent show,
sophomore year.

"Something about the snow
coming down in June

and the Sun going
around the Moon."

All right.

Baze!

What is "Bitchin' Camaro."

It's the name
of a song

and it's also the name
of my first car

which my father gave me.

Not some freak
fake stepfather figure,

but my actual father.

That's what this is about?

Oh, it's not just about
the car, dude.

I saw the texts.
Way out of line.

Can we just keep this moving?

Okay, Ryan...

Hello.

What's on your card?

"The Luckiest," Ben Folds Five.

Finally, an actual answer,

and if Cate's card matches,
Ryan wins the round. Cate?

Did you scratch
your answer out?

All right, game over, people.

Let's go cake-tasting.

No, no, no, no, no!

Not so fast.

We have one

last question
for the tiebreaker.

Right?

Here we go.

What is your number one
relationship deal breaker?

Listen, I get that you
and Cate have issues.

I just don't care.

I wasn't buying Lux
a car, you jackass.

I was buying
myself a car.

I told her I'd give
her my old one.

Yeah. You feel stupid now?

No, 'cause it's
still not okay.

Listen, you have no
business chatting with her

about boys, either, okay?

I am the one responsible
for her date with Jones.

I made him ask her out.

Oh, right, that's not gonna
come back to bite you in the ass.

Good job, dad.

That's right.
I'm her dad.

Me, okay?

So until you stop
stepping on my turf,

I'm going to be
all over yours.

Time's up!

Math...

...what is your
relationship deal breaker?

Well, I was trying
to decide

whether you meant
my deal breaker

or a general
deal breaker.

Uh, then I realized that
if I were dating Cate,

there'd really be
only one thing

that would end our
relationship.

"The apocalypse."

Sure.

Baze?

Wow. No car.

Okay, perhaps you misunderstood
the question.

And Ryan, if you've written
actual words

on paper, you win.

My relationship
deal breaker?

Baze.

Okay, that was awful.
I know that was awful.

Dude, Ryan, wait up.

Go away! You want to be
the parent, go be one.

What's going on?

Look, Baze is a deal breaker
for me, too.

Oh, this, I love this.

I'm the bad guy now?
I'm the deal breaker?

You're mad.
I get that.

Your relationship
with Cate fell apart,

you're upset, but you cannot
keep taking it out on me

by sabotaging
my relationship with Lux.

If anyone is going
to give Lux a clunker,

it should be me.

And in fact, I was going
to give her a new car,

but you punched me off of it.

I wouldn't have
punched you off of it

if you weren't such a sleazebag.

Sleazebag?

Yeah, you know, the kind of guy

who sleeps with
another man's fiancée?

What?

Oh... that is what
I am talking about,

dude-
keep it separated!

I didn't even know you existed
when I slept with Cate.

It wasn't like she was
calling out your name.

She asked me not to say
anything, and I didn't.

So if I did anything wrong,
it's that I listened to Cate.

What the hell is
the matter with you?

Ryan's right,
you are a sleazebag.

Math, come on, man.

Get your own ride, Nate.

You know what?
Baze is right.

For once, he said something
that makes sense.

It's not his fault.

The real question is

what the hell is
wrong with you?

Ryan... Ryan...

You know, earlier you asked me

if we could put this
all behind us,

if we could just go on
pretending,

but that's all you ever do.

You pretend like nothing's
happening, when it is.

You act like everything is
okay when it's not.

And then you lie to protect
whatever twisted reality

you've created for yourself.

No, I told you the truth.

I told you about Baze.

Accidentally doesn't count.

You want to be honest?

You tell me why you did it.

Why was he worth trashing
our relationship?

Oh, God, Ryan, he wasn't.

It was stupid.
It was a mistake.

I don't even know why I did it.

Yeah, you don't know.

If you risk everything,
everything that we had

on something stupid,
some mistake,

then you're even more
screwed up than I thought.

No, don't bother trying
to fix us, Cate.

Just fix yourself.

You just had
to put this song on.

Now it's gonna be
stuck in my head for days.

Well, it's something
to remember me by.

I could
drive you again sometime,

to Tasha's or wherever.

You know it's only, like,
seven hours to Whistler?

Um... don't take this
the wrong way,

but I thought today was
gonna be a disaster.

It's sucked so bad
since Tash left.

And Bug.

But today was the first time
I felt like someone else got me,

you know?

That sounds corny.

Even the word "corny"
sounds corny.

But what you did today

was really thoughtful.

I want to tell
you something.

Okay.

Earlier, when you asked me

how I knew about Tasha's,

I didn't say 'cause

I don't know, I wanted you
to think it was my idea.

Well, whose was it?

Your dad's.

When I brought you your
homework yesterday-

my lame excuse
to see you-

I ran into
Baze first.

I was, I was having
car trouble, and

he offered to hook me
up with his mechanic

if I asked you out.

I'm sorry, what?

He-He just wanted me to
get you out of the house,

get your mind off Bug.

In exchange for a tune-up?

No! I-I mean, that was,
that was a bonus.

Not-Not that I
needed a bonus.

I just... I-I was worried
you'd get the wrong idea

if you found out.

And that's why I wanted
to tell you myself,

because... I like you.

But Baze had to tell you
to ask me out.

He told you about Tasha.

Did-Did he give you
a list of bands I like, too?

No! I was up till 2:00
a.m. making this mix.

Look, Lux, the only
reason why I told you

is because it's
not a big deal.

It is a big deal.

And if you don't get that,
then you don't get me.

Hey, you're back from your date.

You mean your date?

What's wrong?
What happened?

Really?

What happened?

You know what happened.

You know where we went,
you know who we saw.

You probably had the car tapped

and were listening to our
conversation the whole time.

Ooh. You know,
I didn't think of that.

Oh, come on, Lux.

Lux, I'm sorry.

All right, you have
just been so bummed.

About everything.

And then Jones shows up, and I
could tell that he liked you.

He just needed some tips.

So I was like his...
dating Google.

God, you're lame.

I wanted you to be happy.

Jones seemed
like a good kid.

Then you date him!

He's available!

And the next time that
you want to cheer me up, don't.

Hello?

Hi.

I- I'm looking for
a guy named Bobby.

Bobby Guthrie.

I'm sorry?

He also goes by Bug.

Oh, Bug.

He's not here right now.

But I can take your number.

It's all right, I, um...

Actually, can you
leave him a message?

Just say that Lux called and...

tell him to come home.

Listen, if you talk,
this is just gonna take

that much longer,
and neither of us want that.

♪ Another night
with nothin' to do... ♪

You were right.

I was overstepping with Lux,
and I'm sorry.

I- I get that you're
her father, all right?

And I want to respect that.

But she's part of my life now,
and if she wants me to be

there for her,
I'm gonna be.

She's had enough people
disappoint her.

Can I say something now?

Buy you a beer?

It's the least you could do.

So, listen, uh,

if I promise to step off
your dad turf,

will you please stop showing up
at the radio events?

Gladly. Gladly.

It's big of you to come down
here and admit you screwed up.

And you, and you were
right about Jones.

Definitely bit me in the ass.

Mm. Lux found out, huh?

Yeah.

Now she won't talk to me,
she won't talk to Cate.

I'd ask Math to help, but, uh...

You think you could
help a brother out?

Hey.

Ryan?

Hey.

What-What are you doing here?

I'm just, uh,
checking in on you.

Wow.

Nice shower curtain.

You must be really
angry at Cate

to want to crash here.

I've had worse.

At least I don't have
to deal with Cate's cooking.

What, you don't miss waking up
to the smell of burning bacon?

Or burning oatmeal?

You...

You remember when
she roasted a duck

with the plastic bag of guts
still in it?

Another reason
I don't eat meat.

It looked like the guy
from Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Yeah.

So I hear you have, uh,

been putting Baze
through the wringer.

He lied to me.

Jones did, too.

I felt so stupid.

Bug may have not
been perfect...

but he never lied.

He just yelled at
you and took off.

Look, Lux...
maybe you should

give some credit to the
people that are here.

If you want people to
really get to know you

like Bug did, and Tasha,

you have to give
them a chance.

And you really think
this guy Jones

is only interested just
because Baze asked him to be?

I mean, no matter how screwed
up the way they did it was,

you have two guys
in your life

who went out of their
way to make you happy.

Two guys who really
care about you.

Three, actually.

You okay?

I've been better.

I miss the smell of
burning bacon, too.

"Best wishes
to the happy couple."

Lux.

I want to go back to before
you knew me as Bong Girl,

before Bug stole your car,

before Baze told you
whatever he told you

to make you go out with me.

He didn't make
me do anything.

Let me finish.

I... want to get to know you.

And I think you're someone
I want to get to know me.

So I want to start over.

As friends.

Friends.

And how do we do that?

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, I'm Jones.

I'm Lux.
