Life Unexpected (2010–2011): Season 2, Episode 6 - Honeymoon Interrupted - full transcript

Previously on life unexpected...

You and someone had a kid.

You gave up that kid.

I am that kid, and now I'm
applying for emancipation.

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.

I am not granting
you emancipation.

I'm releasing you back into
their temporary joint custody.

I needed this.



I see you've met Mr. Daniels.

You're a... teacher.

Eric?

I'm your new tutor.

Uh, Lux.

Uh, you've met Eric, right?

Oh!

Mr. Daniels.

Yeah, we know each other.

You guys know each other?

Paige is my aunt.

You're late.

I'd also like to remind you

that you're no longer
working in a bar anymore.



So... define "crazy in bed."

No. Come on.

Seriously. Because I think
you and I, the two of us,

we could be highly compatible.

You so wish.

What if there is a part of me

that is in love with you, too?

I'm not in love with you.

And now by the powers

vested in me, I pronounce you

husband and wife.

Who's Julia?

Um, I don't know.

Friend of my parents, I think.

Julia, you don't
need to apologize.

The wedding happened.
She never knew anything was wrong.

It's over. It's done. Bye.

Oh.

Hey.

Sorry. Paige thought
that you slept at Cate's.

I wish I had.

Shower curtains for walls.

It's not exactly sound-proof.

Lux, I'm sorry.

I thought that...

Good morning.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Coffee, black. And hold my calls.

Right. Now, before I get that...

You got a minute?

I, um... I made you this.

It's a little mix cd.
I'm kind of known for them.

Uh, it's got a lot of
music from the concert

that I think you'd like.

Nate, we're not stuck at
some coachella knock-off.

This is the office,
and I'm your boss.

Right, I know. But I was just...

I was thinking, maybe...

Have you audited the reported roi

on the Fenmore Biotech 4 fund yet?

Uh, yes.

Yes, I'm through the first
four months of the year.

Working on getting the
rest of the numbers. Good.

And don't forget I need
a copy of my itinerary

for the company
retreat this weekend.

The retreat? Right. Hey.

Crazy idea.

How about when you get back,
we can...

None of these
documents are signed.

Get Tom from accounting down here.

Tom from accounting. Right.

Hey.

Hey.

All right. I got your 711 text.

I cannot remember if that's
our code for "hurry home"

or "get some milk."
What's going on?

We're going on a staycation.

Okay, I don't think
that's a real word.

Yes, it is. You know?
Staycation, a vacation

where you stay in town.

Look, the Carlow hotel,

they just opened in
Portland and I figure

that we could try it
out for the weekend.

You mean, like, leave right
this minute, try it out?

Why not? We never went
on a real honeymoon alone

after the wedding and,
you know, with work,

a weekend is all either
one of us can take.

Plus, you know,

we're trying to have a baby.

Right? There's a major amount

of uninterrupted

we could spend the
next 48 hours in bed.

Yeah? Uh-huh.

I'm in.

All right. Good.
Uh, you change your clothes.

I will meet you in the car.

I have already packed your bag.

Hey. You're good.

Hey. Um, I can't really talk,

unless it's about Lux.

I am leaving in two
minutes for my staycation.

Is that a real word?

Yes.

Okay, well...

This is weird and
a little awkward.

But, uh, you know, given...

Everything, um...

But I can't talk to
the guys about this,

and I need your advice. Okay.

You remember Emma?
Slightly uptight.

A little neurotic. A lot like you.

All right, get to the point.

Yeah, well, I thought at the
concert that we kind of bonded.

But now she's mean. Unlike you.

You're nice and helpful and nice.

Well, you are at work,
and she is your boss.

That's what she said.

It's scary how alike you are.

Look, just find some time alone

with her away from the office.

Yeah, well, I tried,
but she's leaving

for a company retreat
this weekend.

A retreat?

No, no, that is perfect.

You got to get in on that. Okay.

There is alcohol,
there is expense accounts,

there is room service.

Alcohol.

I love all those things.

You know, the first time
that Ryan and I had sex

was at a company retreat.

Yep, kind of awkward.

But thanks.

I got to go.

Hey, dad.

Morning, Nate.
Emma in? Yeah, yeah.

But, hey, can I...
Can I talk to you for a second?

Shoot.

The whole company retreat
that's happening this weekend,

do you mind if I tag along?

I'm just... I'm-I'm...

I feel like I'm kind of
playing catch up compared to

everyone else around here,
and, you know,

I just, I want to do the
best job possible, you know?

You know what?

You absolutely should come.

Way to take initiative, Nate.

All right.

Yeah.

What's this?

That is my essay test

on the outsiders.

And that would be an f on the top.

Again.

This whole tutoring thing,

it's not working for me anymore.

Lux, I apologized
for this morning.

I'm sorry it's awkward.

This is not about this morning.

This is about wasting my time.

I've read the book,

I've shown up to
all these sessions.

Clearly, I don't
understand this stuff.

Well, you're required to be here,

so you can't just
quit on yourself.

I'm not quitting on me.

I'm quitting you, for good.

I want a new tutor.

What is in this suitcase?

It weighs a ton.

Oh, just some wedding stuff.

You know, videos, photos,

maybe a piece of wedding
cake on 12 pounds of dry ice.

What? I am trying to
recreate our wedding.

This is the honeymoon that
we never took, remember?

All I'm saying is maybe a
suitcase on wheels next time.

Okay, why don't we just check
in and get to the room?

Got some business to attend to.

That's weird.

That looks like, uh, Baze's boss.

And that's definitely

Baze's dad...

Oh, which means... oh, my God.

The retreat.

Hey, guys.

I get it now.

A vacation where you stay in town.

Staycation.

I mean, who cares if he's here?

It's a huge hotel...

We're never gonna see him.

Especially since I don't
plan on leaving the room.

That's our champagne and caviar.

You are not my
champagne and caviar.

Really?

Hi.

I need to switch
rooms with you guys.

And now he's in our room.

No.

No way.

Cate, come on.

Emma is in the adjoining room,

and I'm-I'm at the other
side of the hotel.

So?

So, adjoining room
means adjoining door.

You're the one

who told me to score some
alone time with Emma.

I'm just trying to follow
your very sage advice.

I'm sorry.

All right, I'll get the bags.

Cool.

All right.

Hey, um, would you,
would you mind hurrying?

I just want to hit the sauna
before the welcome party.

Don't push it.

Thanks. Yeah.

He was only here an hour.

How is it possible

to make this much mess?

Whatever. You know, I-I'm just,

I'm glad that Baze

has someone to fixate on,
because if he has a girlfriend,

he is gonna have less
time to bother us.

Put it like that, switching
rooms sounds like a win-win.

Let the honeymoon begin.

Oh, yeah.

Ow!

What?

What happened? What?!

Back.

Spasms.

Major pain.

Ah...

So, you stoked for movie night?

Uh, yeah.

Sure.

So, uh, you and Mr. Daniels.

Yeah, it's funny, I don't really
picture you guys together.

Yeah, I know.

I usually date guys
taller than me.

Ah, this is so fun!

Cate, Ryan, Baze out of town.

Me in charge.

Funny, they were so worried.

Like I don't know how to
take care of a teenager

for a couple days.

Right?

Apple or chocolate Martini?

Apple.

Good choice. Baze said to
make sure you had fruit.

Awesome.

So, um, you and Mr. Daniels.

How did you guys...

I wonder who that could be.

Hi! Hi.

How are you?

Hi.

Um, hi.

Um, I didn't realize
that you were...

You know what, I'm just gonna,
I'm gonna go to Cate's

and leave you guys alone.

Oh, um, no, I'm here for you.

Surprise!

Look, Eric told me

that you were having
some problems in school.

And we thought that this

would be a really fun
way to do your homework.

The outsiders.

Patrick Swayze.

Sad.

Um, listen,

I know that you had trouble
on that essay test,

so I thought that
watching the movie would

help you understand
the book better.

Okay, well,
I already failed the test,

so you're a little bit late.

Yeah, but I emailed math
to see about a makeup one.

It's worth a shot, right?

Popcorn's ready!

Get out.

You're in the room next to me?

Hello. May I escort you
to the party, madame?

No.

Hey.

What's up, Emm?

Just... I'm gonna grab a
drink before the party.

Want to?

Uh... hi.

Can I help you? Um...

Uh, yeah.

I-I just wanted to make sure

that I was... you know, that I'm

not being too l

uh, nope.

You're good.

Okay, all right, cool.

Hey, actually,

you know what? I'm sorry.

I-I thought that my boss
was staying in this room.

She is.

Steve, this is my assistant Nate.

Okay.

Pleased to meet you, buddy.

Yeah. You... call me Baze.

I didn't know you were

staying next door.

Did you need something?

No.

Here.

And your drugs.

Mmm.

Maybe we should just go home.

Oh, no way.

I was promised some
baby-making time,

and I am not going
home until I get some.

Look, the pills will
kick in soon, all right?

And besides, this is our
honeymoon, remember?

We could look at wedding photos.

Oh, my God.

Come on, the photographer
sent them over this morning.

Bring 'em on.

Okay. Uh, so these
must be the photos

taken at the church.

God, you know, my parents...

they can't even pretend to like

each other on my wedding day.

Look at Lux.

How cute is she?

Wait, is my mother holding
a flask in that photo?

Well, technically
she's not holding it,

'cause it's tucked
into her bra there.

Who's that?

Um, I can't remember.

Oh, come on,
it wasn't that long ago.

Uh...

Oh, yeah, right.

That's, um, huh.

Um, Julia.

Your parents' friend Julia?

The one that sent
us the crystal vase?

Did you send her a thank you note?

Because I tried and we don't
even have her address.

She wasn't on the guest list.

I told you I was gonna
take care of that, Cate.

She's not even dressed up.

Who cares what she's wearing?

Why are you obsessing about this?

I am not obsessing.

She was at the wedding
and she gave us a gift.

I would like to send
her a thank you note.

I mean, how am I supposed
to send her a thank you note

if I'm not even
sure we invited her?

All right, well,
you want to talk about

uninvited guests at our wedding,

I can think of someone else
we should be talking about.

Why are you doing this?

Why are you picking
a fight about Baze?

I...

I just...

It's my back, okay? It hurts.

I'll get you more ice.

Hey. Hey.

That was fast.

Well, I called, you picked up.

I'm here.

You're drunk.

And engaged.

Yeah, we broke up.

Cate... she, uh, she cheated on me.

I just found out in the middle

of this stupid c

it's a long story.

I'm a good listener.

I didn't come here to talk.

Hi.

You look great.

Thanks.

Okay, so who is this Steve guy?

I mean, you never mentioned
him at the concert,

and I'm just wondering...

Sorry for the wait, babe.

It's a free-for-all at the bar.

What's up, buzz?

Baze. Right.

I'm sorry, man,
I'm really bad with names.

No, no, don't worry about it.

After all the weeks
I've worked with Emma,

she's failed to
mention yours, so...

Stephanie, Josh.

This is my son Nate.

Jack, this is the guy I
was telling you about.

You got to tell that story again...

you climbing Kilimanjaro hungover.

Well...

You better watch it, Emm.

The girls in asset management

were all over him.

Hi. I'm Jack.

How you doing?

Good. How are you?

Steve's a managing director
over at Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley?

Loved him in driving miss Daisy.

Am I right, people?

Hey, you hear about Morgan
Stanley's Biotech fund?

It's up 18% year to date.

Best-performing fund of its kind.

He's right, Jack, we really
should get on top of that.

Actually, I think your
numbers are off, Steve.

The Fenmore Biotech 4 fund is-
it's up 20% year to date.

Ergo, how could yours be

the best-performing
fund in its class?

I'm impressed.

You have been learning
a thing or two.

I guess we can all afford

to stay on top of things
a little bit better.

Yeah, yeah, we could.

Unfortunately, numbers have

never been one of
Emma's strong suits.

So now that you watched the

outsiders, what those names?

Oh, that was the worst
fake blood I've ever seen.

High cheese factor,
I'll give you that.

I blame the '80s.

Oh, that explains the hair.

God, did they use gel
or actual motor oil?

And what's with those names?

Soda pop, pony boy,

cherry.

Oh, 'cause Lux is
such a normal name.

And you call me Minnesota.

That makes sense. Johnny.

Johnny's a perfectly normal name.

Okay, but Johnny's just an excuse

for the greasers to
act all gangster.

Without him, they would just
be a boy band without a band.

Johnny represents hope.

Hmm... okay, I knew
that you'd like this.

All right, this is all about
the have and have-nots.

The gap between rich and poor.

This is not about the gap.

That's the point. I mean,
sure the socs have a nicer ride,

you know, they're
afraid of being jumped,

they fall in love,

they have the same awful
taste in hair products.

I-I thought the point
was that there is

no real difference between them.

Lux, you realize,
you do understand

this stuff.

You should take the test over.

Wow. You know, I don't want
to take that test over.

I don't want you to talk to math.

I don't want your help!

God, dude!

Take a hint!

Go home.

Right, you can't.

You're on a date
with your girlfriend.

If you're not leaving, I am.

Lux, wait.

Wait.

Hello.

Hey, it's Cate.

Hey, Cate.

How's the second honeymoon going?

It's pretty much consisted

of me walking back and forth

to the ice machine for
the last two hours.

But, uh, it's fine.

Look, I was just calling
to check in on Lux.

Is she there?

You know, she's doing
her homework right now,

so it's probably best
not to bother her.

I'll tell her you called, though.

Uh, Paige, hang on.

Um, can I ask you something?

Yeah.

What do you know about
your parents' friend Julia?

My parents don't have any friends.

They hate each other.

Oh. Oh.

You mean Julia Julia,
like, Ryan's ex?

Um, yeah.

Yeah. Uh, were they serious?

You're kidding, right?

I mean, you know, she's, like,
the one that got away.

Ryan never told you about Julia?

What are you doing here?
Your mom said you'd be here.

I didn't know what else to do.

You weren't answering my calls.

Yeah, for a reason.

We have the rehearsal
dinner tonight,

and the wedding is
tomorrow, Julia.

Ryan... I think...

I'm pregnant.

What?

I, uh, I took a home test.

Oh, my God, Julia.

I am marrying Cate tomorrow.

I mean, what, am I
supposed to tell her today,

before the rehearsal?

Well, listen, listen,
calm down... calm down?

I'm going to the
doctor to confirm it.

I just felt like you should know.

But there's no reason
to say anything to Cate

until we know for sure.

Julia, I'm here for you
no matter what, but

I-I got to go before she sees us.

Just...

Just call me when you know.

I will.

Hey, hey!

I got the rings.

Talked to the minister.

Uh, the rehearsal is
on for tonight at...

5:00.

So, is it official?

It's all legal,
you're a part of the family?

Mm-hmm.

I guess tomorrow is my turn, huh?

Oh, my God, it's my mom.

Hello, mom.

What's up?

Lux, you can't make this

personal or fail at school

Just because you're upset
about me and Paige.

Oh, my God! I am not
failing out because of you.

I was failing out long
before you showed up.

How is that possible when you
clearly know the material?

Okay. For the bazillionth time,
I don't know!

Here, here, take this stupid test

and the pathetic essay

and you figure it out for yourself

if you think you're such
a brilliant teacher!

Lux, stop it! No. Why do you care?

Why do you care if I show up
for stupid tutoring or not?

'Cause maybe tutoring
is the only way

I can actually spend time with you

without it being wrong, okay?!

It's the only thing that we're

actually allowed

I don't want to give that up.

I don't want to give
up getting to know you.

I like that part.

A lot.

Well, who's making
it personal now?

So what-what...
What does it change?

That's what I thought.

Lux.

So, um, Julia's your ex.

Kind of buried the
lead on that one, huh?

Yeah, I, uh, I-I talked to Paige.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why did you lie?

Okay. Yes, Julia and I dated.

But Cate, that was
a long time ago.

Well, according to Paige,
she was the love of your life,

which is a pretty big thing

to never mention in three years.

I-I don't understand what your
ex was doing at our wedding.

Cate.

When you and I broke up,
Julia and I slept together.

Uh, h-hold on.

It was only one time,
okay? And that was it.

I-I-I knew it was a mistake.

I was, I was drunk,
and... and I was... I was hurt.

And Julia and I didn't even
really talk after that...

...Until the day
before our wedding.

Julia came to me, and she said

that she thought she was pregnant.

Oh, my God.

No, I...

I thought you had doubts,

and I asked you.

I came to you,

and you... no, you did,
you told me, you promised me

that it was all in my head!

That wasn't true, was it?

And when you were talking to Lux

and you were being that great guy

and you were putting her first,

were you just looking

for a way out? No, Cate!

Everything I said to
Lux was the truth.

Look, I would have called

the wedding off for her,
if that's what she wanted.

But yeah...

I had my own reasons, too.

Uh, look.

If this is all too
much for you, um...

We can wait.

We can postpone it, 'cause...

If you're not ready, neither am I.

Shouldn't you talk to Cate?

If this is what you want, uh...

She should probably
hear it from you.

Julia.

I tried calling, but...

It was just a false alarm.

I'm not pregnant.

Okay.

So what?

I'm just supposed to be okay
because she's not pregnant?

What if she had been pregnant?

Would you have called
off the wedding?

I don't know.

Hey.

Where's Steve?

Steve had a headache.

On my behalf.

Well, I'm sorry about earlier.

He just... he mentioned
the one thing

that I happen to know something about,
and I jumped on it.

No... you're good with numbers.

I, on the other hand...

No, Emm, look.

I know what it is like to
suffer the wrath of my dad.

I thought he went easier on his

kids than he did right now.

No way.

Believe me, I get it.

I mean, that guy beat
me down for a long time.

Little comments here and there.

They chip away at you.

And before you know it,

you're a 30-something-
year-old guy,

you're sitting around
in your boxers,

living with roommates,
playing video games,

running a bar...

Sounds pretty good right now.

Yeah, well...

Well, things with him,
they can change.

He and I...

We've come a long way.

And it's, you know...

I mean, he's a large
part of the reason

why it took me so long to get to

where I wanted t

you know...

Where'd you want
to be in your life?

With my kid.

At this company.

On this retreat.

Here. With you.

Buy you a drink?

Well, I think the bartender left.

Well, you know, not so long ago,
I was a bartender,

so let's see if I can
go work some magic.

Aha!

Oh, wow!

I mean, that's class.

Yeah, well, you can just be happy

that I didn't offer
to buy you dinner.

'Cause I think I see some...

I see some leftovers
right there. Mm.

This is nice.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

No, I meant I'm glad
I'm here with you, too.

I'm so sorry.

We shouldn't...

This is, um...

Just wrong.

Emma, no, it's not.

It is for, like,
a million reasons.

I'm sorry.

Steve's probably waiting;
I should go.

Hey, Ryan, sorry.

I know it's so late, but, um...

I need to talk to Cate.

She went home.

What? What happened
to your honeymoon?

We got into an argument.

Let's just say getting
together with your ex

before your wedding-
not a great idea.

Okay. Um...

Look, I don't know what
Cate told you, but...

It wasn't all her fault.

It was mine, really.

I mean, if I hadn't
had feelings for Cate,

then she wouldn't have had doubts

and been wondering if she had...

...Feelings for me, but...

Okay, you know what,
this... this is the alcohol talking.

Ryan, I'm a little
drunk right now.

Okay, Baze, just tell
me what happened.

Hey, it's Cate. Leave a message.

Cate, yeah, it's me;
We need to talk.

I screwed things up big time.

Not with me and Emma... well,
yeah, yeah, that, too...

but I talked to Ryan.

Anyway, call.

I'll explain.

Hey, what's up, babe?

Hi, Steve.

Who's your friend?

So Steve likes dudes, huh?

Oh, God. What did he tell you?

That you guys aren't dating.

But you do see each other
twice a week... in spin class.

Oh... fine. It's true.

Look, I hate coming to these
things single and alone.

I can't stand the looks I
get from people, you know.

"Poor Emma doesn't have
anyone in her life."

"Poor Emma only has her career."

Okay, so you pretend to
be in a fake relationship?

I mean, that's like...

Well, something I would do.

Now I'm even more depressed.

You don't have to be alone.

I mean, there's plenty of guys
who would date you for real.

Okay, first of all,

you're Jack's son.

Second, you seem

to forget I'm your boss. So?

And third, even if I could,

relationships just
aren't my thing.

They take up too
much time and effort,

someone always gets hurt,
and I would just rather be alone.

No one would rather be alone.

Only people who really want
to be with someone say that.

And...

Putting yourself out there doesn't

automatically mean that
you're going to get hurt.

Really?

'Cause you put yourself
out there with Cate

and where did that get you?

Hi.

I want to talk about last night.

Listen, you were right.

You weren't the only one
making things personal.

Lux, I... I can't show you

that I care about you
like normal people can.

The only way that I can show
it is through your schoolwork.

You know all those
tests and essays

that you threw at me?

Well, I went through all of them.

Lux, have you ever been tested
for a learning disability?

What?

Because I think that
you might have one.

But if you just give me a chance

to help you the one
way that I can...

I know that everything
can't change.

But some things can.

Cate.

Can we talk?

Uh... not really sure
that I'm ready to talk.

Are you really doing this?

Doing what?

I mean, what is it
that I am doing, Ryan?

Pretending like I was
the only one that had

a secret at the wedding.

Yeah.

Baze told me everything, Cate.

He said you were over at his loft.

He said it was you

that was having doubts.

He said you were afraid that
you were in love with him?

No, Ryan... I mean, God, well,
yes, I mean, I said that.

But, you know, obviously it was,
it was just because

I was sensing your doubts,

which is why I went over
there to begin with...

No, don't even pin this on me.
I put those feelings to bed

the second that I said "I do."

Okay, but what would
you have done?

Not now, but then.

If he had told you
that he loved you?

Would you have called
off the wedding?

I don't know.

Whoa. You okay?

No.

This is why I don't date
guys shorter than me.

Eric broke up with me.

I-I'm sorry.

Whatever.

What'd he say?

That he has feelings
for somebody else.

Cate, hey. Hey.

I-I just came to get Lux.

I got your messages.

I mean, not in time,

but I don't really think it
would've made a difference.

I'm so sorry.

I thought my days of messing
up you and Ryan were done with.

You didn't mess us up.

God, for so long,

we thought the root of
all our problems was you.

If you had told me,
you know, two months ago,

when I was standing
on this deck with you,

that I would be in a
better place with you

than I am with Ryan...

Look, I am sorry.

That night... that was my fault.

And I told Ryan that.

It's not what you
did that night...

You know, it's what I did.

I came over here looking...

...Looking for something.

I was looking for answers.

All you did was not
say you love me.

We need to talk.

You're wrong, about what
you said at the hotel.

I didn't get hurt because I put
myself out there with Cate.

I got hurt because I didn't
put myself out there.

When she came to me the
night before her wedding,

I didn't say what I
should have said.

In fact, I didn't do anything.

And when I tried to,

I was too late.

And I don't want to
be too late again.

And I don't want to
make the same mistakes.

I am not afraid of getting hurt.

I'm afraid of not having the balls

to put myself out there
to even get hurt.

So I'm going balls out.

So to speak.

Oh, God.

I like you, Emma.

I think you're crazy
hot and scary as hell,

but I like you and...

...I want to know
if you like me, too.

Cate...

I-I don't know what to say.

I know.

You and Ryan... you guys
are gonna be okay, right?

You're gonna get through this?

Of course, we're-we're
gonna get through it.

It's gonna be okay, Lux.

We're all gonna be okay.

Okay.

Well, now that I am
playing hooky today,

do you want me to
take you to school?

I know that Baze went early.

Uh, no.

Um, I still have time before
tutoring with Mr. Daniels,

so I will just bike.

Bye.

Lux.

Have a good day.

Oh.

Uh, where's Mr. Daniels?

You must be Lux.

Mr. Daniels asked me

to step in as your
tutor going forward.

So, have a seat.

Let's get started on some tests.
