Russ & Jess take an unwilling AJ to rehab.

(Door opens)

(Door closes)

Lina: Hey.

Working late again?

Russ: Uh, yeah.
Lina: It's kind of really late.

Russ: Yup, I was, uh...

just working on some of my own stuff.

Lina: Hmm.
Russ: Yeah.

Lina: Cool.

Russ: Mm-hmm.

Um, how are you, how are the girls?



Lina: I spent my evening
pulling shit out of a dog's ass.

Russ: Oh, for fun?

Russ: Or...

Lina: His anal glands were compacted.

How was your day?

Russ: Like pulling shit out
of a dog's ass.

- Ella: Your wife is rude.
- Russ: Tell me about it.

You know, she wasn't always this rude.

Like, before you were born,
she was actually kind of cool.

- Ella: What happened?
- Russ: We broke her.

And now we are all paying for it.

Ella: She's refusing to get me
a Halloween costume.

- Russ: Really?
- Ella: Really.

- Russ: That is rude.
- Lina: Are you freaking kidding me?



That's what she said, that I refused?

Russ: Yes.

Lina: First she wants to be a bee,
then she wants to be a hippie,

now she wants to be a pirate.

How many costumes
am I supposed to buy?

Russ: So just buy her
the pirate costume.

Lina: You buy her the pirate costume.

Russ: I can't, I have
AJ's thing tomorrow.

- Lina: I have lunch with Eva.
- Russ: Eva's in town?

- Lina: Really?
- Russ: What?

Lina: I told you, like, 17 times
last week that my best friend

was coming to town for a week
and that she has one window

that she can see me for lunch and
it's tomorrow and I'm gonna drive

half the day to do it.

Russ: So, uh,

what do you want to do
about the pirate costume?

Lina: If I buy it,
she won't appreciate it.

- Lina: I should get it for her.
- Russ: Oh, get it, don't get it...

I don't care.

Sorry.

(Door closes)

Yeah, yeah, I got AJ
into this very cool facility.

- Shepard: Very good.
- Russ: 'Cause that guy

- Russ: could use a vacation.
- Shepard: Yeah.

Russ: Couldn't we all? Hi.

Jess: Hi. Mwah.

Uh, you forgot to buy
toilet paper again.

Shepard: (Soft chuckle) Well,
then you forgot to remind me again.

Jess: Okay, well, maybe

that's because one of us has a job
and the other one doesn't.

Shepard: Okay, you know, I
love when you emasculate me

in front of company.

- Jess: Okay.
- Shepard: Do some more,

- Shepard: do some more.
- Jess: No, I'm sorry for you, I really am.

One minute.

Shepard: Hmm.

Russ: Good times.
Shepard: You have any idea

- what time you'll be back?
- Jess: No.

- Jess: I have work drinks tonight.
- Shepard: Okay, you got work drinks.

I got you, you got work drinks.

She has drinks every night and
then I end up eating supper

alone with the nanny.

Russ: Does Victoria speak English or...?

Shepard: You know what,
I'm not really sure.

She seems to smile
and she laughs on cue.

'Cause, really, what more do I need?

Russ: Oh, sounds fun.

Shit.

- Hey.
- AJ: Bagels, anyone?

Jess: Oh, man.
Russ: You don't look packed.

- AJ: Come on, come inside.
- (Russ sighs)

My assistant's coming by later.
She's on it.

Jess: No, not later. No, no, no,
we don't have all day to do this.

Russ: Yeah, dude, come on.

We took off work for this.

AJ: Oh, man, you think they got
bagels in the big house?

Russ: You're not going to jail.
Jess (Chuckling): Jesus.

AJ: Oh, jail, rehab. Same shit.

Russ: Look, I know this is hard, okay?

But you got to get
your suitcase, all right?

- We got to go.
- AJ: How about I go tomorrow,

and the three of us just kick it today?

I have all these drugs... huh?

We should go through them so
they're not here when I get back.

I don't need that temptation, you know?

Russ: We got to get this
moving here, okay, so can you

go get packed? Please?

AJ: You're a buzzkill.

Fine.

(Phone rings)

Russ: Hey.

Lina: How's it going?

Russ: I'm helping a grown man pack.

Lina: I help you pack all the time.
Russ: That must be why you hate me.

Lina: I hate you?

Lately it seems like you hate me.

Russ: What?

I don't... that's crazy.

Lina: Anyway, look, I think I want
to get Ella the pirate costume.

Russ: I thought you said
she won't appreciate it.

Lina: She won't, but she's almost 12,

and I feel like this is
the last Halloween

she'll trick-or-treat with the family.

Russ: Right, okay.

Lina: Can you do it, because
by the time I get over the hill

I won't have time.

Russ: I...

Sure. Sure.

Lina: I have to go, Eva's here. Later

Russ: Okay, bye.

- (Lina laughs)
- Eva: Oh, my gosh.

- Lina: How are you?
- Eva: It's good to see you.

Lina: You, too.

Eva: How's things, how's
everything with Russ?

Lina: Well, they've been better.

Russ: So,

what kind of work drinks
do you have tonight?

(Jess laughs)

So full of shit.

Jess: I don't have work drink.

(Fake chuckle)

It's a Halloween party in the hills.

Russ: (Laughs) Yeah, he said
you've been going out a lot lately.

Jess: I'm not doing anything
shady, I'm just going out

and having fun and dancing.

Shep falls asleep every night
at 9:00 p.m. in front of the TV.

Oh, you never go out? You're
so good, right, you're perfect?

- Russ: No.
- Jess: God, let me get a closer

- look at you; you are perfect.
- Russ: I did not say that.

I'm in the same exact boat.
Some nights I go out with the kids

from the, uh, store.

You know, we go to the bar
and I tell Lina that

I'm working on my designs.

And the truth is I haven't worked
on any of my own shit

in months.

Jess: Sometimes you need to lie.

Russ: Yeah.

What is taking him so long?

Seriously.

He said he'd be right out.

Jess: He lied.

Russ: AJ, let's go.

(Heavy scraping)

(Knocking)

AJ.

Jess: Hello?

(Groans)

Russ: Oh, son of a bitch.

AJ!

Hey, come on!

What are you doing?!

Jess: We have a runner.

Russ: Come on!

I don't need this shit.

Russ: (Groans) This is so annoying.

I can't believe he just did this.

Jess: You know what, though,
he's not gonna get very far

without the keys.

- Russ: That is true.
- Jess: Yeah.

That was very well done on your part.

Jess: Yeah. You know,
it's actually this trick that I used

to do, like, with all of the
addicts that I've dated.

Russ: You did date a lot of addicts.

Jess: Yeah, it's kind of my type.

Russ: I can't believe you
ended up with Shep.

He's so straight.

Jess: Yeah, well,

I needed someone to take the wheel.

Which is exactly why you
and I could never be together.

8Russ: Yeah, we're looking for
our friend to take him to rehab

while we smoke a joint.

Jess: That's a bad...

(Chuckles) that's a bad couple.

Russ: That is a bad couple.

Jess: Or such a cool couple.

Russ: Is that him?

That's him right there. Pull over.

Pull over right here.

AJ: I just wanted to say good-bye
to my favorite barista.

Jess: Yeah.

No, he's really gonna miss you.

AJ: I tip really well.

- He is really gonna miss me.
- Russ: Just get in the car.

- AJ: Let my guy make you a mocha.
- Jess: No.

- Russ: Just get in the car.
- AJ: Let my guy make you a mocha,

- Come on.
- Jess: Nobody wants a mocha.

- AJ: Fine. Fine.
- Jess: Nobody wants a mocha.

AJ: Fine. It's your loss.
He makes the best mocha.

Jess: Okay.

Lina: We're not connecting
anymore, you know?

And by the end of the day,

when we finally all,

- Eva: Oh, my God.
- like...

Lina, I am so sorry.

I just have to have a quick
cup of coffee with Parker here.

Look, it'll just... it'll...
it'll take a couple minutes.

- Lina: Oh.
- PARKER: Sorry to interrupt.

Lina: Okay... Sure.

Do you want me to move?

AJ: What the hell is this?

Am I rehabbing at a Dollar Store?

Russ: No, I just got to do
some shopping.

I got to get Ella a pirate costume.

AJ: Guys, maybe rehab isn't
the answer for me.

- Russ: Dude.
- Jess: You're going to rehab.

AJ: Do I have a private room?

- Russ: Yes.
- AJ: Do I have a private bathroom?

Russ: Yes.

AJ: I wonder if I get a bidet
'cause I like to be clean.

Jess: (Groans) No.

All right, well, what
size pirate is she?

Russ: Uh, I don't have any idea.

She's almost 12, so...

- Jess: She is?
- Russ: Yeah.

- Jess: God.
- Russ: I know.

I think this is the last year that
she's gonna trick-or-treat with us.

Jess: Oh.

Did she have her period yet?

Russ: No, don't, okay?

I don't know. The doctor
said it could be any minute.

Jess: Ooh, you're gonna get those
boobs and pubes in your house.

Russ: Stop it, okay?

I can't even get my head around that.

Jess: Here we go. Look.

You're done. Pirate.

- Russ: What is that?
- Jess: And you're welcome.

- It's a pirate costume.
- Russ: No, it's a sexy pirate.

AJ: It's a slutty pirate.

Russ: I just said she's 12.

That's way too much, Jess.

- AJ: That's a dirty, dirty pirate.
- Jess: I'm sorry, but this is L.A.

This is what kids wear.

AJ: A pirate that dresses like
that has daddy issues.

Russ: Yeah. Why are there no
classy pirate costumes here?

She's just gonna have to be
the bee or the hippie, I guess.

AJ: I just had a thought.

What if Caitlin grows up
to be a slutty pirate?

What if I'm one of these
whore-making dads?

Russ: No. You're...

You're a good dad, okay?

She's gonna be fine.

AJ: Right.

That's why I got to stay home

and I got to take care of my kid,

'cause I'm a good dad.

- Jess: No.
- Russ: No, that's not what I said.

You're gonna go to rehab so that
you can become a better dad.

AJ: Right. A better dad.

- Jess: Yeah.
- AJ: Rehab.

We just got to make a quick stop
at my office first, though.

(Jess groans)

Russ: What?

All right.

You get five minutes, all right?
That's it. I'm serious.

AJ: All right, all right.

Relax, Dad.

I just have to go upstairs and

say good-bye to my work family

and pick up some socks.

(Tapping)

AJ: Hey, Gillian.
Gillian: Hi.

(Pills rattling)

AJ: Ah, they sound comfy.

Gillian: Just like you ordered.

AJ: Yeah.

Gillian: The guy I got them from
said not to wear the socks

on an empty stomach.

AJ: Hey, got to always listen
to the sock man, right?

Gillian: Just be careful.

AJ: Hey, uh, where is everybody?

Richard and Abby are...

They're not in their offices.

Gillian: Um, they are
in the partner meeting.

AJ: Partner meeting?

Gillian: Mm-hmm.

AJ: But I'm one of the partners.

Gillian: I know. It's just...

AJ: So how can they have
a partner meeting

without me, if I'm one of the partners?

That doesn't make any sense.

Gillian: Well, you weren't
coming in today.

AJ: So I'm not one of the
partners anymore, huh?

Gillian: No, of course you are.

AJ: Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, yeah.

No, you're right! You're right!

I'm a founding partner!

(Whistling)

Gillian: You know, I really don't
think this is such a good idea.

Why don't we just go
to lunch or something.

AJ?

Good luck.

AJ: Hey, guys.

How's it going?

Hey, uh, I got a little something
I want to say to you.

(Muffled): Are you insane?!
Are you out of your minds?!

This... mine, mine, this is all mine!

I started this company!

(Speaking indistinctly)

...on your skulls after
I remove your brains!

(Eva speaking indistinctly)

Lina: Um, you know what, I think,

uh... I think I'm gonna get going.

I'll just see you next time
you're in town.

Eva: Lina, just hang on one s...

- (Phone ringing)
- Uh, I have to get this.

- Lina: Sure.
- Eva: Can you just hang on one second?

Lina: No, it's fine, it's fine.
It was nice to meet you.

Good luck with your, um,
important meeting.

Eva: (Sighs) Hey. I am so sorry.

Look, I'm only in town for
a couple days and I overbooked.

Are you okay?

Lina: (Sniffles) No.

Eva: Should we go get a drink?

Lina: I just gave the guy my ticket.

Eva: I'll take care of it. Come on.

Gillian: Everything's fine.
I shouldn't have called you guys,

uh... I just got scared.

Jess: Why, what happened?

Gillian: The partners had AJ
escorted out of the building.

After everything that he's done

for them, it's so ungrateful.

Right?

Russ: What did he do?

Gillian: Nobody got hurt.

AJ got a tiny bit violent.

- Jess: Uh-huh.
- Gillian: But he wanted me

to tell you guys that rehab can wait,
because things are a little intense

right now with the new firm.

Jess: The new firm?

Gillian: We're starting a new firm.

I mean, AJ is, but I'm helping him.

Jess: Oh, I'm sure you are, sweetie.

That's great.

Gillian: N-No, you guys,

now's really not a good time.

Wait, you guys, um, sorry...

AJ?

Russ: Let's go.

It's time to go. Time to go.

AJ: Gillian, did you explain to them
how busy I am with the new firm?

- Gillian: I tried.
- Russ: Oh, cut the crap.

There is no new firm, okay?

You're going to rehab like you promised.

AJ: Do you have that promise in writing?

- Russ: In a text.
- AJ: Well,

texts are inadmissible.

You know, anybody
can hack that shit, right?

Jess: Oh, my God, you're
such an asshole.

We've been chasing you
around all day, okay?

Russ: You know what,
don't worry about it.

I don't care anymore.

I really don't. I'm over it.

Okay, you don't want to go to rehab?

Don't go, okay?

Who cares that I spent the week
yelping different facilities, okay?

Reading reviews of food
and-and fitness centers.

If you want to screw me over
and Jess and this poor girl who's

probably in love with you, go for it.

AJ: Right. Come on, she's
not in love with me.

Gillian: But you said
you wanted to be with me.

AJ: Yeah. At the new firm.

Gillian: But what about when we...

AJ: Oh, my God, did we have sex?

Gillian: Twice.

AJ: Did you like it?

Gillian: Once.

Jess: Oh, wow.

AJ: Well.

I guess it's, uh...

it's time for somebody
to go to rehab, huh?

Lina: No, I just really
wanted to talk to you

because I can't talk to the
other moms about real stuff.

Eva: Okay, well, what's going on
with you and Russ?

Lina: He hates his job.

He comes home super late
every night and I can tell

that he doesn't want to be around me.

I don't understand it.

Eva: Do you know, sometimes

when I come home at night,
I am such a bitch to Karen.

Lina: Okay, but why?

Eva: I don't know.

I mean, she's taking care of my kids,
she's washing my clothes.

- Lina: Yeah.
- Eva: But sometimes I look at her

and I can't stand her.

Like, all the sacrifices that

she's made for me, I just,
I see them on her face.

It makes me want to slap
the shit out of her.

Lina: Really?

(Eva laughs)

I can tell when I walk through the door.

He looks at me like he wants me
to be his cheerleader or something.

Eva: You know what?

He probably just wants you
to put his dick in your mouth.

(Laughs)

Lina: I'm a terrible wife.

Eva: Hey, stay in the hotel room
with me tonight, come on.

I have an early meeting, but
you can just hang out, get a massage,

charge it to the room.

And then we can really hang out later.

Lina: Yeah, screw it, Russ can
take 'em trick-or-treating.

Eva: Mm-hmm.

Lina: They don't even care about me.

(Eva laughs)

They probably won't even
notice if I'm not there.

Eva: So you'll stay?

- Lina: Happy Halloween.
- Russ: Hey.

- Russ: What are you doing here?
- Lina: Hi, guys.

I thought you were, uh,
spending the night at Eva's.

Lina: Oh, I didn't really
think you could handle

trick-or-treating on your own.

- But I was clearly wrong.
- Russ: Clearly.

Lina: You got the pirate costume.

Not bad.

Ella: Hey, guys, Hannah just texted
and asked if I could go

trick-or-treating with them.

Can I?

All my friends are gonna be there.

Please.

Russ: Uh, sure.

Ella: Really?

Lina: I hope she bleeds right
through that pirate costume tonight.

Russ: Yeah.

Let Hannah's mother find her a tampon.

Lina: And show her how to use it.

Maya: What's a tampon?

Russ: Uh...

It's kind of like a sponge...

that soaks up stuff.

Maya: What stuff?

Frankie: Are we done talking
about tampons?

Lina: How are we gonna
trick-or-treat when the kids are too old?

Russ: We won't.

Lina: Well, what will we do?

Russ: We'll give out candy.

Lina: We're gonna be those
old people giving out candy?

That's depressing.

Frankie: Look what we've got!

Lina: Oh, I want a butterfinger.

Maya: Mom.

Russ: Give your mother a butterfinger...

she does a lot of shit for you.

Now.

Give it.

All right, let's keep going.

Come on.

- Russ: Get something bigger.
- Frankie: We will, Daddy.

Russ: King size.

What was that for?

Lina: Standing up for me.

Russ: Hmm.

Well, in that case...

- Feeling more than just a kiss.
- (Lina laughs)

(Horn honks)

Jess: Am I too late?

Shepard: Just in time.

Ooh, you know what?

Back in the car.

Jess: What?

Shepard: Just wait in the car.

Some neighbors don't hate us yet.

Jess: I look good.

Shepard: Yes, you do.
