Looking (2014–2015): Season 1, Episode 8 - Looking Glass - full transcript

Oooh, fuck
fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Hey.

Can I, uh,
talk to you?

Come on, let's go outside.

Yeah.

Look, I know there's
a slightly creepy

stalker aspect to me
showing up at your job...

Can I help you?

"Can I help you?"

Yeah, I'm at work, so...

Yeah no, I know.
I just thought...



I left you so many
messages yesterday

and you didn't
pick up the whole day.

I know.

- Patrick...
- Yeah?

If I didn't pick up
it's because...

I don't want to talk.

Oh.
Okay.

I just...

I need you to give me
some space, okay?

Space like space space?
Or space like a break...

Can you just give me
some space, please?

I don't want to say
something I'm gonna regret.

Yeah.

No, I...



I guess I shouldn't
have... yeah.

Sorry.

I'm gonna get back to work.

I'll call you when I'm ready.

Okay.

Are you okay?

Uh-huh.

Where were you?

I spent the night at Jesse's.

Okay.
I was worried.

You haven't made much progress.

Listen, I don't think
the two of us have

talked about this
properly, okay?

Not the way that two people

who've been together
this long should.

You know, you can't
just storm off.

You did not just say that.

Can you at least
hear me out, please?

Yes, okay, I've been the worst
fucking boyfriend to you,

when all you've
ever been is supportive.

Are you listening, Frank?

This thing that I did...

This thing with paying CJ
and not telling you...

It was wrong
on every level and I can...

Totally, I admit it now.

Can you please come out here
and talk to me?

You don't want to hear
what I've got to say.

No, I do. And I
totally... I deserve it.

Okay?
I can fucking take it.

I know that I've been
an unbelievable...

No, huh-uh. You don't
know what you've been,

because you don't know
who the fuck you are.

You're not who you think
you are, Agustín,

and you're certainly
not who I thought

I've been dating
this whole time.

- Okay, that's...
- Nuh-uh-uh.

That whole concept
you concocted

with that little hustler?

It's nothing but the musings
of a bored rich kid.

- Okay, wait...
- Let's...

Let's be honest.

You were never
gonna be an artist.

And if you ever do follow
through with something,

it's gonna be mediocre at best.

Well...

Leave the key under the mat.

- Has anyone seen the candles?
- They were here yesterday.

- Black crate.
- Oh, yeah, got 'em.

Hey, Lynn, it's me.

Um...

I'm just here
at the restaurant...

And everything's going
pretty smooth, I think.

Um, I just wanted to check
in about the delivery today.

We decided on the ones
with the... oops...

Silver vase.

And I don't know how else
you describe them,

but we like those so...

I'll get it.

Anyway, everything's
fine and...

I'm seeing you tonight, right?

Okay, bye.

Are we good?

- Perfect.
- What the fuck?

So as we regroup on this...

I want some new ideas.

Uh...

Sorry, guys.

Uh, let's step back
from the simple binaries

that we're used to.

So I'm gonna take a look at 3A
'cause it needs something else.

I don't know what it is yet, but
I'm sure we'll figure it out,

so let's get on with that.

Hey.

Hey.

I wondered where you'd got to.

I'm sorry.
Did you need me?

Uh, no no.

I was... I was...

I was just wondering
if you were okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Wow.

This is nice up here.

- Mm-hmm.
- I didn't even know we had this.

Wow.
That view is...

Yeah, it's good.

Yeah.

So, Patrick, I just want to say

how totally and utterly embarrassed
I am about last night.

Seriously, you know,
you don't need to do this.

Well, I have been
worried about it.

You know, it's weddings.

It's weddings.
They make me crazy,

and obviously
I was pretty wasted.

No, I mean it. You really
don't need to say anything.

Okay well,
I feel like I do, so...

I don't want this to make
things weird between us.

I really like what
we've got going on here.

We've got a really good
working relationship.

Listen, let's just
not talk about it, okay?

- Really.
- Patrick...

It's just water under the bridge.
I mean it.

It's done.

Okay.

Okay, well then, I'm gonna go.

- I'll see you down there.
- Yeah.

Um...

Yeah.

Oh my God, are people
offering you spare change?

Oh, my paddy-cakes.

What's happening right now?

- Come here.
- Hi.

Mwah.

Are you a little
chemically-altered right now?

A little bit. I'm not gonna
tell them. Don't tell them.

They can't know. Come on,
we gotta get inside.

Should I go in there?
It'll be fine?

Yeah, it's gonna be
totally fine.

We gotta support,
you're gonna be great

and you gotta tell me
about what Frank said.

Mmm. I don't want
to talk about Frank.

He's...

You know, just...
I just... I'm a mute.

Okay, Holly Hunter,

I can tell you about
my woes instead.

It might cheer you up.

Okay.

What are you doing back here?

- It's nice... nothing.
- Stop.

Be nice.

- Hello, boys.
- Hey, you look incredible.

- Oh, thank you.
- You're welcome.

You guys ready to
peri-peri your minds out?

- Let's get peri-peri'd.
- Let's do it.

- Where is everyone?
- Well, it's still early.

Yes, thank you.
Exactly exactly.

Nobody good goes to eat
until like 10:30 at night.

Hey. It looks really
good in here.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Hey, buddy.
How you doing?

- Hey.
- Did you make up with Frank yet?

Uh, no actually.
He's done. It's over.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

He just kicked me
out on the street, but...

- Shit.
- It's okay.

I'm fine.
I'm fine.

- Really?
- Yeah. I'm single now.

So I'm gonna come
and feel your boobies.

- Sit down.
- Let's sit. Oh, good.

Another gay man
in my future, good.

Thank you. I'm glad
you guys are here.

- How do you feel?
- I'm kind of losing my shit.

- Why?
- Nobody's here.

It's still early.
People don't eat till later.

It's really early.

Have you guys got a
Xanax or something?

No no.

Seriously, I'm like
having palpitations.

- Just breathe.
- People are gonna come.

If you could just
remind me to breathe,

- that would be awesome.
- You like it?

- What is going on?
- Dom!

Some people looking for you.
Gentlemen.

So thrilled to see you.

Thank you for coming.

- Dom.
- It looks wonderful in here.

Oh, thank you.

- Where's Lynn?
- Oh, he'll be here I think.

Doris, would you show
these fine gentlemen

- to their table?
- Yes, of course.

Right this way please.

- Great to see you.
- Yeah, you too.

Welcome.

Hey.

I don't know. Richie's never
acted like this before.

It's a little weird. Dom says he
thinks that maybe he's just upset

- and he needs to cool off...
- Maybe it's over.

What?

I don't mean to hurt
your feelings, I mean,

but have you
considered maybe...

I hope it's not over.
I really like him.

Well, why?
Why do you like him?

- Why do I like him?
- Yeah, what do you like about him?

I don't know.
He's just really sweet.

He doesn't have
a cynical bone in his body.

He's genuine, you know?

He just is who he is.
I love that.

Plus he's fucking hot.

- I mean...
- Hello.

I just want to lick
his armpits all day long.

But it's more than that though.

I think he's really
you know, a great...

Why don't you drink a little
bit more water actually?

Put the wine down.

- All right.
- Throw that back.

Stop doing that.

Is Kevin texting you "how's
it going?" Why is he texting...

I'd rather not talk
about Kevin right now.

- Hi. Doris, hi.
- Hello. Good evening.

- We're late, sorry.
- No, no problem.

Wow.
The place looks just...

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Glad you could make it.
- Of course, yeah.

You know, we were kind

of running around doing stuff.
We're late.

Yeah. I told him uber
would have been easier

than trying to find
parking around here,

but he wouldn't listen to me.

Lynn's been gushing
about your food all day.

I'm very excited.

Really, gushing?
It sounds messy.

Lynn, why have you been gushing
all over this poor guy.

Oh, there they are.
There they are.

- So shall we?
- Yes, here.

Follow me.
This way please.

Hey, guys.

- It was nice meeting you.
- You too.

- You're late.
- Sorry we're late.

Hey, hello.

Thank you. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

Why are these plates
going out like this?

I said one potato, the chickpeas and
then the garnish is meant to go...

- We miscalculated.
- It's fine.

We can put half
a potato per plate.

We had like a hundred
sacks of potatoes.

We got plenty. Can you please
get him out of my kitchen?

Okay. Are we having
a potato crisis?

What's happening?

What's going on?
Are you okay?

Yeah, nothing. It's going
pretty well out there.

It is, yeah.

- And Lynn's here.
- I know.

Did you see that slab of
hotness that was with him?

He's not that hot.
He's kind of smarmy, I think.

Oh really?
Oh my God.

- I wouldn't mind if he sat on my face.
- Really?

I mean, I want to sit
on his face is what I mean.

Well, you should... would you just
go back to your post, please?

Sorry.
I'm in trouble.

He gave you like
an actual kiss?

Yes, it was an actual kiss.

- Why don't you drink this?
- Wow, you're so mother hen.

Just bottoms up, okay?

Mmm. Mm.

Did he like French kiss you?

Like with tongue
and everything?

Did you just say
"French kiss"? Really?

Is that what the kids
are calling it?

Maybe in fourth grade.

Hey, can I bum a smoke?
Do you mind?

What, you're a smoker now?

Okay. Don't change
the subject, all right?

You want to have
a thing with Kevin.

I do not want to have a
thing with Kevin.

You totally want to have
a thing with Kevin.

- I do not want to have a thing...
- Come on, come on.

Come on, you've been
feenin' after the brit

since the day you met him.

- I have been doing no such thing.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

At least tell me
he's a good kisser.

I... don't know
if he's a good kisser.

He jumped me in the bathroom.

It was like two seconds long.

He was very tongue forward.

I should be suing him
for harassment, anyway.

He's my fricking boss.

Oh, that's true.
That's true.

Yeah yeah, we could do like
a big class-action suit

and get all
Norma Rae on his ass.

Take all his game money.

All right,
no one's suing anyone.

Why don't you just suck on
those ice cubes or something?

Okay.

Give me this.

Hey.

- Are you having fun?
- Sure.

Sure. Kept you buzzing
around all night, huh?

Yes yes.
Definitely.

I'm spreading my pollen
all over the place.

Uh, the flowers look gorgeous.

They're all so classy.
Very classy.

- Well, thank you.
- No, thank you.

Um, and as you can see,
he listened to you.

He's been up front
for most of the night,

you know, mingling about.

He can be a little hard-headed,
but he's no dummy.

- He knows what he's doing.
- Yeah.

- I trust his instincts.
- Oh God, you should say that to him.

He would have really
liked to hear that today.

He's... he's a little...

He's... your words of wisdom
would have been very nice.

Things seem to be
going well, so.

Dom's worth it.

Pardon me?

He's just...

He's worth it.

♪ ♪

Can I have my old room back?

What?

Like can we just go back
to the good old days

before all the boyfriends?

Um... for real?

I don't know.
I have to think about that.

Come on, Rose.

Don't you miss "Golden Girl"
marathon Saturdays?

Oh yeah. Of course I miss
"Golden Girl" Saturdays.

No, it's not a "no," I just...

We gotta talk about it.

Oh God.
It's Kevin again.

Just answer that shit, man.

I'm not gonna answer. He would
have texted if it was about work.

You gotta deal with
your shit, Norma Rae.

What are you doing?

Hi.

Yeah. No, I'm fine.

What's up?

Yeah, I don't know
were Owen keeps those.

I know where Owen keeps...

No no no. That's on
the other server.

What?

Yeah. Yeah, no.
We're just finishing here,

so that's fine.

No no no. No no.

No, really.
I don't mind at all.

It's great, yeah.
I'll see you in a few.

Okay. Bye.

Look what you did.
Now I gotta go into work.

It's good, man.
You gotta stick it to the man.

- Put that away. It's mine.
- No!

- Are you sure?
- Yeah. Of course.

You taking off?

Yeah, unfortunately
I gotta go into work.

- What?
- Yo, this "pan de nata" was so good.

- It's good, right?
- And so was the chicken.

- It was such a good night.
- I know.

- I'm so proud of you.
- I think people liked it.

There's so many people here.
It was awesome.

I know.

I'm gonna text you later.

- Bye. "Ciao".
- Bye.

You still doing okay?

Splendid.
Thanks to you, buddy.

Come here.
I'm proud of you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How was your thing?

It was good, I think.
I'll get you those files.

Do you want a beer?
I got us some drinks.

No, I'm good. Let's just
get this done, yeah?

I think actually I...

Sort of got it.

What do you mean?

Well, I got it sorted.
I did it all.

Okay.
Then what am I doing here?

Well, I wanted to talk to you

about what happened.

Oh my God.
Please, I told you.

It's completely fine.

What?

Do you how much effort it takes
to be around you every day?

- Effort?
- Mm-hmm.

It takes all of my willpower

not to lunge and kiss
the fucking shit out of you.

And I can't seem to stop...

Thinking about you,

and it's becoming
a real fucking problem.

You have a boyfriend.

Yeah.

You know what?
I think I'm just gonna...

- No, can you just... Go.
- No, please.

Don't just... no, just...

- Don't go just yet.
- What are you doing?

Just stay. Just... this is...

Hold on.

Are you sure you want me to?

- Huh?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right?

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Fuck.

That's good.

Oh my God.

So now what, huh?

Um...

I don't know, Patrick.

Thanks, guys.

You nailed it.

- I knew you would.
- Thanks.

- Ready?
- Well, then...

- Good night.
- Thanks.

- Okay.
- Sorry, Lynn,

could I just...
See you for a moment?

Now?

Yeah, just a quick word.

- Um... Matthew, give me a sec.
- Yeah yeah. I'll be outside.

Yes?

Well...

I have friends waiting, so...

- No, you have one friend.
- Dom, he's just a friend.

But that doesn't mean
I should make him wait.

No no.

Listen, I know the reason
you were hands-off tonight

is because...

I was kind of
an asshole yesterday.

- I just wanted to give you...
- I didn't want the night to end

without having
the chance to... to...

I think I need
to apologize to you.

No need.

Well, I don't know
how we're leaving things.

And so I'm wondering
if we could just consider

the way I acted
kind of a learning curve,

and maybe we could
keep doing this together?

- Pop-ups?
- Yeah.

I don't know, who knows?

Maybe something
more permanent.

You know, I...
I just feel like

tonight should be
the end of our...

Working relationship.

I mean, that's...

I just think
that's for the best.

And now it's my turn to be
the creepy stalker guy.

I thought you said you didn't
want to talk to me ever again.

I didn't say that.

Look, Patrick, I just want
to say something to you.

I don't think I can really...

No, please, let me just...
Let me just say this.

Okay.

When I feel disrespected,

especially by someone
that I care about,

it just does
something to me, okay?

Um, my pride is something
that I'm working through.

It makes me see
things all twisted,

and I just had to go
and shake it off.

- Richie...
- No.

I know that I'm extra sensitive

about where I'm from,
and that's my own thing.

And you have your own
issues about it.

I know you think you
don't, but you do.

Please don't say that.

What? It's true.

Look...

I just...

I think we took things
a little bit too fast.

You rushed everything.

And I'm not gonna lie,
part of it was my fault.

But...

I just, you know...

I liked you so fucking much.

I like you too.

Pato, I am this close
to falling in love with you.

But I'm not gonna
do that to myself

if you're not ready.

And I don't think you're ready.

Blanche, what are you doing

lining shelves
on a Friday night?

I'm working off all
my excess sexual energy.

Why don't we just hook you up to
the toaster and make pop-tarts?

Don't make fun, Dorothy.

This is the fifth
Friday night in a row

I haven't had a date.

Oh honey, you're just
in a little slump.

I've never been
in one before.

Well, it feels like hell.

Dorothy, how do you go through
this for years at a stretch?

I have compassionate
friends around me.
