Life in Pieces (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Bite Flight Wing-Man Bonnie - full transcript
Heather and Tim finally find another couple they actually like to socialize with, but Sophia and their son don't hit it off. Also, Greg insists he and Jen take separate flights in case ...
_
I can't believe it's our one
night out and we have to spend it
- with some couple I don't even know.
- Honey,
Tabitha is a valued patient.
Her messed-up hearing
paid for your necklace.
- Oh.
- And better than that,
it means today's meal is free.
- So sorry we're late.
- Oh, no problem.
This is my husband Marshall.
- Nice to meet you.
- Marshall Faulk,
- I'm a big fan.
- How you doing?
- Do it up... top!
- All right.
- Hi. Heather. Nice to meet you.
- Hi. Tabitha. Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, yeah, I dropped my napkin.
- Yeah.
That... is Marshall Faulk.
I know.
He's an NFL Hall of Famer.
I know.
Don't blow this.
Don't you blow this.
Got it.
All set now. Hey,
what do you guys say we order some wine?
I mean, she never told me
that her husband was Marshall Faulk.
I just thought she was another patient
with chronic ear infection.
Well, the only thing her ears
were infected with tonight
was your charm
and my effortless conversation.
Now they want to get
together again with the kids,
which is the equivalent
of meeting the girlfriend's parents,
except this time my girlfriend
- has won a Super Bowl.
- You know what I'm gonna do?
I am gonna text them right now
and invite them over with their kid.
I want to keep them on the hook before they
- ask someone else out.
- Wait a minute,
wait a minute. Is it too soon?
No. Honey,
these could be our new couples friends.
Except instead of potluck dinners,
it's sideline at Rams games
with, uh, Marshall Faulk.
Oh, send it, you hot babe.
Come here, give me some.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
- Mm?
- Dot, dot, dot.
- They are responding to us right now.
- Oh, this is huge.
- Oh, God.
- What?
The-the "dot, dot, dot" went away.
What? They're reconsidering?
Just-just don't...
- You ruined it!
- Don't-don't say anything.
They're in.
They're in!
They're... we're in!
- Oh, baby!
- Oh, my God,
I love you so much!
I love you!
Aw,
they are so cute.
Ah, yes, the digital babysitter.
I have hired her a lot.
'Cause she's free and she doesn't
want to have sex with my husband.
Well, I'm so relieved that I'm
not married to a football player
because I don't really have that problem.
- Oh, stop.
- Oh, come... come on!
Oh, Tim, seriously.
What? It was Marshall's idea.
Well, he did say he could
design a defense to stop me.
- Come on, come on!
- Touchdown!
- Oh!
- Oh, man.
Oh, my God, you guys are so much fun.
We could hang out with you every night.
- Oh.
- Let me be clear.
We are available every night.
What are you guys doing for spring break?
Yeah, we have a place in Hawaii.
Oh, and little Pete would love
to have somebody to play with.
Ooh.
Ow!
Their kid is a wiener.
What?
His dad is famous.
He bit me.
What?
Oh, well... he didn't chomp down too hard.
That-that's good news.
Yeah, he didn't even break the
skin, and you're a tough girl.
You're a tough little
girl who gets in there
and keeps on playing.
Okay, I'm just gonna let him
watch the stupid movie by himself
and just sit in the hallway feeling sad.
Yeah, now you're thinking of solutions.
Ooh, that sounds like fun!
Ooh!
- What...
- We'll be back.
We are gonna have a great time there.
- You know, you should bring all your kids.
- Mm.
And we could put
- Pete and Sophia in the bunk beds.
- Yes,
uh, yes, yes, or-or, um,
maybe not in the bunk beds.
- Oh...
- What?
Yeah, I mean, you know how some
friendships take a little time to blossom.
- Not us, of course,
- Yeah, yeah.
- 'cause this is very natural.
- No.
I think. But I think Pete and Sophia
need some time, maybe.
Y... They're, uh, uh...
This...
this is kind of funny.
There may have been a
small, a very small
bite. A-A nibble. Just a...
Wait, so Pete-Pete bit Sophia?
Y-Y...
- He wouldn't bite anyone.
- No.
Well, there were bite marks, and...
No. No, I-it's just that
Pete's a really good kid.
When his fish dies he cries.
Well, Sophia is the kind of kid
who doesn't bite her fish to death.
Okay, okay.
Pete, can you
come down here right quick?
Pete, did you bite Sophia?
No apologies necessary.
I think we're all cool.
- Yeah.
- Let's hug it out.
I thought I was biting Bloody Mary.
- Bloody Mary?
- Yeah,
it's a game. You take
someone into the bathroom
and turn out the lights,
they say Bloody Mary three times,
and when they turn the lights
back on, Bloody Mary appears.
Except it was
just me with ketchup on my face.
He freaked.
I was trying to save you guys.
- Oh, sweetie, come here, Pete.
- Aw.
You poor thing.
- I think we should go.
- Yes.
Oh, oh, oh, well, yeah, we-we'll just
figure it all out in Hawaii on a kayak.
Guys, I feel like, you know, this could be
a romantic comedy, you know?
- When Pete Met Sophia...
- Sophia!
The hit of the summer.
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
I miss them.
But we did the right thing.
We chose our daughter
over our celebrity friends.
Yes.
Text them to see if they
want to go to dinner,
- just the adults.
- Yeah.
We'll take it back to page
one of this fairy tale.
Yeah, just a-a date night, you know?
- We can reconnect.
- Yeah.
Get back to what made us us.
Any dot, dot, dot?
No.
_
I know you're disappointed
that we're not flying together.
It's just, I don't want
Lark to grow up an orphan.
Well, your dad was a pilot for 40 years
and he never once died.
And that is exactly why I am
so scared of flying, honey.
His pre-flight ritual
was taking a shot of tequila
and getting a punch to the chest.
Just gonna be so lonely judging
all these people without you.
And who am I gonna play
What's That Smell with?
That smell is you hurtling towards death
at 600 miles per hour in
a gigantic steel fart tube.
Okay. All right, all right. I'm just...
I'm gonna see you in New York.
- It's gonna be fine, okay?
- Okay.
My bad.
Probably not the best ringtone
to have in an airport.
- No, not really.
- Okay.
Well, lesson learned. Love you.
Okay. Hey, let's do one
more. Just, you know...
in case this is it, forever. Okay, bye.
Bye.
Sorry.
Uh, hi, excuse me, how
long is this flight delayed?
It's just, I'm supposed to be
meeting my husband in New York.
- Oof.
- Is-is that a good oof
- or a bad oof?
- There is no good oof.
I have one seat on Flight
47 that's leaving right now.
- If you hurry, I can...
- Oh, no, I can't do that flight.
I strongly encourage you
to get on the earlier flight
unless you want to spend
the night next to that guy.
Why did he fall asleep on that wet spot?
He didn't.
Ew. Um, okay,
it's just that my, um...
my husband and I agreed
to fly separately...
It's in first class.
What's up?
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome aboard Pilgrim Air.
This is Jen. Leave a message.
Hey, honey. I was hoping I could catch you
just so I could say good-bye, but...
at least now you can play this
voice message at my funeral.
* Swing low *
* Sweet chariot *
* Comin' for to carry me home *
Warm nuts?
You kiss your mother with that mouth?
I'm just kidding. Hey, why are they warm?
Because you're rich.
I hate flying, too.
You can pet Jill if you need to.
Uh, uh, no, that... actually
makes me a little uncomfortable.
Oh, no, it's okay. She's
an emotional support dog.
N-No, n-no. Uh, she's not buckled in.
Oh.
Thank you.
You take it.
Excuse me, Kara. My cookie
isn't warmed through.
Oh, I'm so sorry, Mrs. Short.
- Call me Jen.
- Okay. Oh, actually,
the captain's in there.
It's gonna be a while.
He's disgusting.
But I still want him.
You can go in the back.
Um, okay.
Uh, you know what, I-I think I'm gonna...
I'm gonna go to the, uh... the
bathroom. And when I come back,
uh, I'm gonna bring her an extender,
- so we can... get her buckled in.
- Oh. Okay. Oh.
So... uh, really should
have faced the other way.
- Okay.
- Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You okay in there?
May be one of those I Didn't
Know I Was Pregnant type
of situations. That would be unfortunate.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the captain has turned on
the "fasten seat belt" sign.
- Yes!
- No!
Please return to your seat
and make sure your seat belt
is fastened. Thank you.
Okay, okay.
Mrs. Short!
Return to your seat.
Your cookie's warm.
Honey?
Ugh, it's me.
- Oh, thank God.
- I'm so sorry.
I know that you wanted to fly separately.
Honey, I was wrong. I
was wrong. I am so glad
you're here. Look, this-this
turbulence is terrible.
And as much as I-I like Jill here...
She feels the same way about you, Greg.
I'd really rather die sitting next to you.
That's so romantic.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Hey, thanks for letting us sit together.
No problem.
It's gonna be okay.
Is this one warm enough for you, Jill?
Can I get you another mimosa?
I'm gonna get you another one, okay?
See? He's doing great on his own.
You could tie someone up
pretty nice with this stuff.
_
So, Gary, how have you been coping
since the loss of your wife?
- It's touch and go. You know?
- Mm-hmm.
I-I miss her, of course.
Of course.
But lately I've been remembering
all the little things
about her that bothered me.
Uh-huh. Like what?
Like her general looks
and personality.
Oh. Well,
have you given any thought to dating again?
No, and I'm pretty lonely, too.
I mean, I sometimes
make a drink and have it
in front of my three-way mirror
just so it feels like
I'm at a party.
You know, but that-that's only natural.
- Johnny.
- Hmm?
You know what would be great?
If you took Gary out sometime.
Uh, you know, got him back into
the real world, introduced him
to some women. Rebuild his confidence.
You know what'll rebuild
his confidence is getting rid
of that stupid tweed
jacket that he always wears.
- Just be his wingman for a few hours.
- Uh...
I know a pretty good place
where lots of older women go
when they got nothing left to live for.
- A craft store?
- Yeah.
I buy all my art supplies here.
Okay, the knitters are sweet.
The quilters can be a little antisocial.
But I'd steer clear of
that scrapbooking aisle.
Those women will murder you
while humming to themselves.
You know, I appreciate the gesture, guys,
but you really don't have to do this.
No, I do. Joanie said.
All right, men, I'm gonna go over there
and warm her up a bit.
Now, once she figures I'm taken,
you step in and suddenly you
become her best and only option.
Okay.
Oh, my. Isn't that a lovely fabric.
I have a couple of
kimonos made out of that.
- Well, aren't you a tall drink of water?
- Yes,
but most of my kimonos are very short.
I'd like to introduce you
- to my very available friend Gary.
- Hi.
My kimonos are short, too.
Sometimes my truss peeks out.
You know, just about that far.
And, of course, this
is your primo cashmere.
Well, you know your yarn.
- Yes.
- And that's a primo blazer.
- Oh. eBay.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- See? He's doing great on his own.
- Mm-hmm.
- You know...
- Uh-huh...
- you could tie someone up pretty nice
with this stuff.
What?
You know what, I think I got one last thing
that could help him. Just wait here.
Mr. Timpkins!
That is you.
I was so sorry to hear
about the loss of your wife.
And with no children to burden
you. And such great health care.
How will you ever meet
your dental minimums?
Oh, honey.
I'm so sorry to hear
that you're available.
I still have her ashes,
but I don't know where I put 'em.
You want to come help me look for 'em?
I think they're in the garage.
They should be.
So, tell me, how was your date?
Not good.
She was so bored, she activated
her Life Alert bracelet just
so somebody would interrupt us.
Well, maybe it was a warm-up
to get you back into the dating pool.
Look, I just want to meet
someone who I can talk to,
someone who understands me.
You know, someone like you.
A good listener.
Yeah. You.
- You. I want to kiss you.
- Someone like me.
- I do want to kiss you.
- No, no.
- Yes, I do.
- No. No, no. You... Please sit down.
- You want to, too.
- You must...
- Oh.
- I can tell.
- I don't!
- I can see it in your face!
Oh, my.
- The time is up.
- Oh.
Okay. See you next week.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Have a good week.
- You, too.
Oh.
- Tell me your heart isn't racing like mine.
- Uh...
- These are new.
- Do you want to paint 'em?
I think they discontinued your
shade of manipulative ex-wife.
_
So you're sure you don't want
to go to spin class with us?
Oh, no. If I wanted to sit
in a dim room and be berated,
I'd just have a therapy
session with my mom.
I can turn the lights up
if that's more helpful.
You have fun. I love you.
Love you. Love...
Uh... love being,
you know, with you... dude.
Good stuff.
He should talk about
that in your next session.
Dude.
All right. Good morning.
Good morning yourself.
- Bonnie?
- Hi.
What the hell are you doing here?
Do I need a reason to see my husband?
Ex-husband, and, yeah,
after you took all my money
and disappeared, yeah, you do.
How many times do we need to have
the you-took-all-my-money
fight?
Where are all your paintings?
I quit painting so I could take a bunch
of crappy jobs to pay off your debt
after you disappeared to Bolivia.
It was actually Colombia. I think.
- Had a bag over my head.
- You need to go.
- I have a girlfriend. I...
- Oh, big deal. So do I. Come on!
- No.
- Don't you miss this?
- Tell me your heart isn't racing like mine.
- Uh...
- These are new.
- Do you want to paint 'em?
I think they discontinued your
shade of manipulative ex-wife.
How dare she show
her perfect face around here.
- Mm.
- I mean, I am kind of excited
to ask her about the
products that she uses,
but how dare she.
- What did Colleen say?
- Oh, I didn't tell her.
Why not?
Because who knows if I'll
ever see Bonnie again.
Why stir up trouble?
- Hey.
- Hey.
Sorry to be late.
I went to the Russian
bakery to get those little
black-and-white
cookies that you love.
The lady in front of
me bought the last ones.
Oh, no.
It worked out, 'cause,
apparently, she was buying 'em for you.
Who wants a cookie?
Bonnie.
Ooh, I'll have a cookie.
No, I won't.
The "chuts-pah."
That woman is here
for one reason, and that is to
sink her claws back into Matt.
Matt hates her. I'm not worried.
You are way more confident than I would be.
I mean, they weren't married for that long,
but they were on-again,
off-again for, like, six years.
It's like she's the
drug that he can't quit.
It's like me and coffee Nips.
So I guess I'm just the
girl next to him on the wagon
waiting until he falls off again.
Damn it. Now I need a coffee Nip.
Oh, God.
Is what Heather said true?
- Is Bonnie your addiction?
- No. Well...
It was very complicated,
but I-I am with you now.
Are you, or are you, like,
between Bonnie benders?
No, I'm done with benders.
I'm totally clean and sober.
You are my-my club soda with lime.
Club soda with lime is what you order
when you can't get what you want.
I can't be your second choice.
Uh...
Figure out what you want and let me know.
- She's leaving?
- Okay, Bonnie, what is it gonna take
to get you out of my life for good?
Ten minutes.
Meet me tomorrow morning.
I want to show you something.
Hey.
Hey.
Remember all that money
in our joint account?
This is what we did with it.
Bonnie, you bought a gallery?
We bought it.
We can have the life we always dreamed of.
And I'm just supposed to forget about
- all the crap that you put me through?
- Yes.
Look, forget the last two years.
Remember the first four.
I still love you.
Tell me you don't want to say "I love you."
You know what?
I do.
All right, 60 seconds! Push yourselves!
Hey, man,
- can I borrow your headset for a second?
- What?
Can I borrow just your head...
your headset for just a second?
Please. Thank you. Thanks so much, man.
Yeah, that's right, people, be the best you
that you can be, like this girl
in the back row. Look at her.
She's gorgeous, she's fierce, she's wise.
Colleen Brandon Ortega.
I love you.
I love you, too. I love you, too.
Good stuff.
I can't believe it's our one
night out and we have to spend it
- with some couple I don't even know.
- Honey,
Tabitha is a valued patient.
Her messed-up hearing

N-No, n-no. Uh, she's not buckled in.
Oh.
Thank you.
You take it.
Excuse me, Kara. My cookie
isn't warmed through.
Oh, I'm so sorry, Mrs. Short.
- Call me Jen.
- Okay. Oh, actually,
the captain's in there.
It's gonna be a while.
He's disgusting.
But I still want him.
You can go in the back.
Um, okay.
Uh, you know what, I-I think I'm gonna...
I'm gonna go to the, uh... the
bathroom. And when I come back,
uh, I'm gonna bring her an extender,
- so we can... get her buckled in.
- Oh. Okay. Oh.
So... uh, really should
have faced the other way.
- Okay.
- Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You okay in there?
May be one of those I Didn't
Know I Was Pregnant type
of situations. That would be unfortunate.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the captain has turned on
the "fasten seat belt" sign.
- Yes!
- No!
Please return to your seat
and make sure your seat belt
is fastened. Thank you.
Okay, okay.
Mrs. Short!
Return to your seat.
Your cookie's warm.
Honey?
Ugh, it's me.
- Oh, thank God.
- I'm so sorry.
I know that you wanted to fly separately.
Honey, I was wrong. I
was wrong. I am so glad
you're here. Look, this-this
turbulence is terrible.
And as much as I-I like Jill here...
She feels the same way about you, Greg.
I'd really rather die sitting next to you.
That's so romantic.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Hey, thanks for letting us sit together.
No problem.
It's gonna be okay.
Is this one warm enough for you, Jill?
Can I get you another mimosa?
I'm gonna get you another one, okay?
See? He's doing great on his own.
You could tie someone up
pretty nice with this stuff.

So, Gary, how have you been coping
since the loss of your wife?
- It's touch and go. You know?
- Mm-hmm.
I-I miss her, of course.
Of course.
But lately I've been remembering
all the little things
about her that bothered me.
Uh-huh. Like what?
Like her general looks
and personality.
Oh. Well,
have you given any thought to dating again?
No, and I'm pretty lonely, too.
I mean, I sometimes
make a drink and have it
in front of my three-way mirror
just so it feels like
I'm at a party.
You know, but that-that's only natural.
- Johnny.
- Hmm?
You know what would be great?
If you took Gary out sometime.
Uh, you know, got him back into
the real world, introduced him
to some women. Rebuild his confidence.
You know what'll rebuild
his confidence is getting rid
of that stupid tweed
jacket that he always wears.
- Just be his wingman for a few hours.
- Uh...
I know a pretty good place
where lots of older women go
when they got nothing left to live for.
- A craft store?
- Yeah.
I buy all my art supplies here.
Okay, the knitters are sweet.
The quilters can be a little antisocial.
But I'd steer clear of
that scrapbooking aisle.
Those women will murder you
while humming to themselves.
You know, I appreciate the gesture, guys,
but you really don't have to do this.
No, I do. Joanie said.
All right, men, I'm gonna go over there
and warm her up a bit.
Now, once she figures I'm taken,
you step in and suddenly you
become her best and only option.
Okay.
Oh, my. Isn't that a lovely fabric.
I have a couple of
kimonos made out of that.
- Well, aren't you a tall drink of water?
- Yes,
but most of my kimonos are very short.
I'd like to introduce you
- to my very available friend Gary.
- Hi.
My kimonos are short, too.
Sometimes my truss peeks out.
You know, just about that far.
And, of course, this
is your primo cashmere.
Well, you know your yarn.
- Yes.
- And that's a primo blazer.
- Oh. eBay.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- See? He's doing great on his own.
- Mm-hmm.
- You know...
- Uh-huh...
- you could tie someone up pretty nice
with this stuff.
What?
You know what, I think I got one last thing
that could help him. Just wait here.
Mr. Timpkins!
That is you.
I was so sorry to hear
about the loss of your wife.
And with no children to burden
you. And such great health care.
How will you ever meet
your dental minimums?
Oh, honey.
I'm so sorry to hear
that you're available.
I still have her ashes,
but I don't know where I put 'em.
You want to come help me look for 'em?
I think they're in the garage.
They should be.
So, tell me, how was your date?
Not good.
She was so bored, she activated
her Life Alert bracelet just
so somebody would interrupt us.
Well, maybe it was a warm-up
to get you back into the dating pool.
Look, I just want to meet
someone who I can talk to,
someone who understands me.
You know, someone like you.
A good listener.
Yeah. You.
- You. I want to kiss you.
- Someone like me.
- I do want to kiss you.
- No, no.
- Yes, I do.
- No. No, no. You... Please sit down.
- You want to, too.
- You must...
- Oh.
- I can tell.
- I don't!
- I can see it in your face!
Oh, my.
- The time is up.
- Oh.
Okay. See you next week.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Have a good week.
- You, too.
Oh.
- Tell me your heart isn't racing like mine.
- Uh...
- These are new.
- Do you want to paint 'em?
I think they discontinued your
shade of manipulative ex-wife.
_
So you're sure you don't want
to go to spin class with us?
Oh, no. If I wanted to sit
in a dim room and be berated,
I'd just have a therapy
session with my mom.
I can turn the lights up
if that's more helpful.
You have fun. I love you.
Love you. Love...
Uh... love being,
you know, with you... dude.
Good stuff.
He should talk about
that in your next session.
Dude.
All right. Good morning.
Good morning yourself.
- Bonnie?
- Hi.
What the hell are you doing here?
Do I need a reason to see my husband?
Ex-husband, and, yeah,
after you took all my money
and disappeared, yeah, you do.
How many times do we need to have
the you-took-all-my-money
fight?
Where are all your paintings?
I quit painting so I could take a bunch
of crappy jobs to pay off your debt
after you disappeared to Bolivia.
It was actually Colombia. I think.
- Had a bag over my head.
- You need to go.
- I have a girlfriend. I...
- Oh, big deal. So do I. Come on!
- No.
- Don't you miss this?
- Tell me your heart isn't racing like mine.
- Uh...
- These are new.
- Do you want to paint 'em?
I think they discontinued your
shade of manipulative ex-wife.
How dare she show
her perfect face around here.
- Mm.
- I mean, I am kind of excited
to ask her about the
products that she uses,
but how dare she.
- What did Colleen say?
- Oh, I didn't tell her.
Why not?
Because who knows if I'll
ever see Bonnie again.
Why stir up trouble?
- Hey.
- Hey.
Sorry to be late.
I went to the Russian
bakery to get those little
black-and-white
cookies that you love.
The lady in front of
me bought the last ones.
Oh, no.
It worked out, 'cause,
apparently, she was buying 'em for you.
Who wants a cookie?
Bonnie.
Ooh, I'll have a cookie.
No, I won't.
The "chuts-pah."
That woman is here
for one reason, and that is to
sink her claws back into Matt.
Matt hates her. I'm not worried.
You are way more confident than I would be.
I mean, they weren't married for that long,
but they were on-again,
off-again for, like, six years.
It's like she's the
drug that he can't quit.
It's like me and coffee Nips.
So I guess I'm just the
girl next to him on the wagon
waiting until he falls off again.
Damn it. Now I need a coffee Nip.
Oh, God.
Is what Heather said true?
- Is Bonnie your addiction?
- No. Well...
It was very complicated,
but I-I am with you now.
Are you, or are you, like,
between Bonnie benders?
No, I'm done with benders.
I'm totally clean and sober.
You are my-my club soda with lime.
Club soda with lime is what you order
when you can't get what you want.
I can't be your second choice.
Uh...
Figure out what you want and let me know.
- She's leaving?
- Okay, Bonnie, what is it gonna take
to get you out of my life for good?
Ten minutes.
Meet me tomorrow morning.
I want to show you something.
Hey.
Hey.
Remember all that money
in our joint account?
This is what we did with it.
Bonnie, you bought a gallery?
We bought it.
We can have the life we always dreamed of.
And I'm just supposed to forget about
- all the crap that you put me through?
- Yes.
Look, forget the last two years.
Remember the first four.
I still love you.
Tell me you don't want to say "I love you."
You know what?
I do.
All right, 60 seconds! Push yourselves!
Hey, man,
- can I borrow your headset for a second?
- What?
Can I borrow just your head...
your headset for just a second?
Please. Thank you. Thanks so much, man.
Yeah, that's right, people, be the best you
that you can be, like this girl
in the back row. Look at her.
She's gorgeous, she's fierce, she's wise.
Colleen Brandon Ortega.
I love you.
I love you, too. I love you, too.
Good stuff.
