Mozart in the Jungle (2014–2018): Season 3, Episode 8 - Circles Within Circles - full transcript

Yow!

Oh, my God.

Whew. Oh, Jesus.

Do you even have a license?

Why, I have an English one.

Uh, does that count?

Apparently not.

Listen.
Now we have the chance.

Shall we just blow out of here

and go to Sag Harbor
for the weekend?

You don't want to meet them.



Of course I do.

I'm thrilled.
I'm delighted.

No, no. I mean, you know,
kids and parents.

I mean,

it's always a bit
tricky introducing...

It's too late now.
They've seen us.

Hi. Hi. Thomas,

I... You... I want you
to be yourself,

and I want you to have
fun and...

But, you know,
sometimes these...

They can be a little...
And you can...

And you... you know what?
Never mind.

It's fine. Let's go in.
It's fine.

Welcome, welcome.



Hi.

Glo, bring your tuchus
over here.

You heard her, Glo. Get
your tuchus over there.

- Hi, honey.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- Hi, Mom. Hi.

Nice to see you.

- Hi, darling.
- Both of you,

This is Thomas Pembridge.

- How do you do?
- Oh, you must
be very special.

She never brings any
of her boyfriends home.

Well, she has horrible
taste in men.

You said it.

Oh, he's fun.

And this was at the prom.

Oh. Never seen so much hair.

And her date. My God.

Looks like a porcupine
with acne.

Well, actually, he now
runs a tech company

worth 7 billion.

Hmm. Oh, my Lord.

Who's this little butterball?

Well, that's Glo at age 12.

We used to call her
Princess Twinkie.

Oh.

You don't say.
Well, hello, Princess Twinkie.

All right. That's enough.

I was a very heavy little girl.

I promised myself I was
going to lose 40 pounds

and move somewhere
with a library

just as soon as
I possibly could.

I think we hit a nerve.

She always thought
she was too good for us.

Yeah. And, you know,
I'm always trying

- to get her to lighten up.
- That... That's not true.

- It's not false.
- Mom,

I got the strudel cake
you like in the kitchen.

So listen, kid,

what are your intentions
for our daughter?

Oh, well, not marriage.

Do you think I want
to be number 5?

So that's it, honey.

No grandchildren.

Y...

Ha!

- Oh, you!
- Look at his face!

He believe we were going
to give him the third degree.

- You got me.
- Really?

That's a good one.

What's so funny?

Your parents are
being abusive to me.

I love them.

They're fantastic.

Well, I'm glad everyone's
getting along so well.

Come here.

Bye. Bye, Glo.

- Wow.
- Bye.

I think that went splendidly.

Oh, I'm glad
you had so much fun.

Well, you would, too,
if you removed

that lumpy piece of stick
from up your ass.

I will, and then I will
hit you over the head with it.

Oh, ho ho.
That's the spirit.

Listen, we have to go
to your place tonight.

I've got a lodger.

I think I'd just like
to take a night to myself.

Oh, well, I mean, what
the hell did I say?

Oh. You know, I...

I don't know
what I was thinking.

4 in the morning,
and you still can't sleep.

Maybe a little music will help.

John Sebastian,

hey, keep on playing,

but don't play for me

because I'm home.

I'm fine, okay?

I don't... You know?

A man without a house
who says he's home.

A man who goes to prison
and says he's free.

Is he a child,
a genius, or a madman?

Shut up, John Sebastian!

Whoa. Who... What...
What's all the noise for?

Sorry, sorry, Maestro.
Sorry. I...

What are you throwing?

It's just...
It's John Sebastian...

Oh, my God, you're
doing the bubbles

- in the house again.
- I have to.

There's something I'm
trying to figure out,

but I can't until I sleep,

and I can't sleep until
I can figure it out.

Because I saw Melody Yang
to an amazing bubble,

a big one, and then a little one

that goes inside that bubble,

and then another one

which circled around the bubble.

You know, I...

I've been wanting
to tell you something.

Yes, tell me, tell me.

Well, it's about Gloria and me.

I... I just don't know
what the hell I'm doing.

At the beginning
of this thing, it was...

She was so much fun, you know.

We had a wonderful time
together, and it...

And then, for no reason,
she just turned.

It's always like that.

- No fun...
- Always...

- ...anymore.
- ...like that.

- Nothing.
- One day it's okay,

and then next day's
really weird,

and nobody knows why.

- Yeah.
- It's like the orchestra,

you know?
They were together.

- Yeah.
- Now it separated,

together again, but who
knows what's gonna happen?

It's always like this.
It's always changing.

- Feh.
- Yeah. Hey.

What about the sticky stuff?

Oh, right, remember that one?

Yeah, you're going...

Yes. I finished it
before going to Venice.

- Oh, shoot.
- Yes.

But try this. Try this.

Oh, my God.

Give it... Give it a try.

- Jesus.
- And you'll see.

Right.

Look at that.

Wow.

I fee like you're making
me play second fiddle

in our relationship.

Yes, I know I actually
play second fiddle.

Why would you say that?

How am I gonna get people
to play this for me?

It's too small for
the orchestra people.

Well, never
underestimate the power

of free pizza and beer.

I'm using it to build
a whole cabaret.

It's the fire alarm.

We got to go
to the courtyard.
Leave your stuff.

Watch it, tuba.

Hey, are you Esther Ohnn?

- I am.
- Oh, wow.

I'm a really big fan of yours.

I know that sounds,
like, super nerdy.

I just think it's really cool

that you turned down
a residency at Julliard

for the Moscow Symphony,

and that you play
with Björk, and...

Yeah.
I'm Hailey Rutledge.

You're the one who threw up
on Andrew Walsh.

Well, yeah, I threw up
around Andrew Walsh,

and he fired me.

Good. Because
after he asked me

to wash his laundry by hand,

I was out of there.
He is the bane.

Yeah.
He's kind of the worst.

Well, it is good to meet
another cult survivor.

Uh, hey,

I am putting together
an ensemble for an event,

and I was just wondering
if you wanted to play.

Does it pay?

Do you like free beer?

Yes. Who's conducting?

I am.

Okay. Cool.

What?

I'll do it.

Shock and awe, right?

Yeah. Shock and awe.

All right, see you at rehearsal.

It's some kind of
metacarpal fracture

which explains
the chronic inflammation.

What about another round
of injections?

We can keep on with that
and the physio,

but in the end
you're probably going
to need the surgery.

However, if the surgery
goes well,

there's a good chance you'll
still be able to play.

I don't get it.

Excuse me?

The sign.

Is that for the nurses
or for us?

How did you do that?

Too many threes.

Too much Bach.

Uh, threes...
Is that basketball?

Yes. Kevin Masers.
New York Knicks.

Cynthia Taylor,
New York Symphony.

Oh, cool. You know,

I play a mean "Für Elise"
on the piano.

- Yeah?
- Or at least I could.

You had surgery?

Yeah, ten days ago.
What about you?

My metacarpal is jacked.

A guy on my team had that.

You know what helped him?

Bourbon.

With me.

It was probably
just the bourbon.

But you probably shouldn't
have it without me,

just to be safe.

Ahem. Ms. Taylor.

Uh, here's a prescription.

Remember to stay off that arm.

Understand?

Yep.

Pull.

Eh, kind of.

Glad we didn't have to break in.

Oh, yes.

I can't believe these
things are still here.

Oh, Maestro says
the bubbles can stay.

We're in the bubble with them?

- Eh.
- I don't know.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Hey. Subbing for Betty?

Yeah, just until the auditions,

which is awesome
because I only have,

like, $40 in my bank account.

Do you know what piece
you're playing?

Uh, yeah, I have
a couple of options.

Let me know if you
want some help.

Thanks.

I missed this.

- Hey, everyone.
- Maestro.

Look at this.

Wow, we... we're back
in our home.

Wait. Why so few of you?

It's the chamber group

for the big donors'
gala, Maestro.

What?

Hi. Hello.

Sit down, sit down, please.

Take a seat. Take a seat.

An, uh...

How do you
guys feel? Okay?

- Yeah?
- Good.

Not tired?

- No.
- Okay.

Um...

are those trees on?

Is it me, or...
Or are they, like...

- No, they have lights.
- They have them.

- They have lights.
- Yeah.

All right. Elegy.

Maestro.

Maestro.

Hey...

Okay. Ahem.

Okay, let's keep on rehearsing.

- You need a rest.
- Okay. No.

- It's okay.
- Mm-hmm?

Okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.

I'm okay. Okay.

Why don't you rehearse?
Okay?

Why don't you keep on
rehearsing a little bit?

Okay? Let's
keep on doing it,

and I will be from here
supervising. Okay?

- But you guys do it...
- Let's help him.

...in the... in the best
way possible, you know?

Ha ha.

Oh, no. We're not
doing this one.

It's okay. Use it
for warming up. Okay.

Oh, man.

Hai Lai?

Cynthia?

Tanya?

Ai, those trees.

Hello?

Heh. You awake?

Yeah.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm Rodrigo de Sousa.

Ah, I know who you are.

You're the guy
on all the posters.

Yes. Yes, I am.

Yes, and you...
You are the...

I'm just security.

Yeah? I've never
seen you before now.

I've been here 25 years.

Whoa.

What time is it?

3 a.m.

- Here?
- Mm-hmm.

Did you get some rest?

Oh, yes. Yes, I...
I really needed...

I'm going to get some maté.
Do you want some?

Some what?

- Were you here when...
- Yeah, I...

Pembridge's "Eroica" was.

I don't remember
that one so much.

Yeah.
That... That's, like...

I'm sorry, man. You know,
sometimes I just...

I fall asleep.

Why?

You know, I...
I like jazz, Coltrane.

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Coltrane...

Sure, no question.

- And the...
- Of course.

We can see the link
from Stravinsky.

- Yeah.
- That's good.

Yeah, but, you know, like,
Beethoven, Chopin, Bach...

You... you don't
appreciate them?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're okay,

but, you know, they...

I think I need that rhythm,

you know, that kind of swing,

like the pop

that you get from,
like, jazz solos

- and stuff like that.
- What...

What do you think, then, that...

I mean, what would
make it better for you?

Uh, better costumes with it.

Oh, yeah, well, definitely that.

It's so formal.
In Cats...

You ever see Cats on Broadway?

- No.
- That show... The show Cats.

They have, like,
whiskers and everything.

It's different from this.

Hmm.

Yeah. Sorry.

You know, I'll give you

some tickets for next season.

You come to the concerts,
you know,

and maybe that'll make you
change your mind...

...a little bit.

I doubt it. No offense.

But I...
I could bring my, uh,

my grandson.
He plays the violin.

- Mm.
- Yeah.

He played the violin.
He stopped.

Yeah, he just...
You know,

lessons were expensive,

and, uh, he just
didn't stick with it.

- Hmm.
- Kids.

But you know, when
a child is playing

or running...

- inside their minds...
- Hmm.

They are listening to music.

Oh. Hi. Welcome.

That sounds like
it's really developing.

- Yeah, it's coming on.
- Is that a second movement?

- Here. That's for you.
- Thank you.

I want you to go
back to the piece

that we were working on before.

- Right. Okay.
- Just no music.

Just show me.

Good.

That's good, that's good.

Uh, show me the way

you bring in the bassoons again.

Yeah.

Oh. Very extravagant.

Where... Where
did you get that?

Uh, that's how Kutchar
was doing it on YouTube.

Oh, that's his, then, isn't it?

Uh, what does it
actually mean to you?

Uh, well, it's all about
leaving Czechoslovakia

- after the war...
- No, no, no. I get all that.

That's just a book report.

Uh, you can't just
conduct something

because you think
it's interesting.

You see, I'm trying to get you

to find a piece of music

that you can really feel

and conduct
like no one else can.

Hai Lai, hey.

- Hey.
- What's up?

I really have to talk to you.

Uh, yeah. Are you just
appearing places now or...

- I live here.
- No. No, he doesn't.

- You said for the meantime...
- You're a guest.

Look, do you mind?
You can see

we're in the middle of a lesson.

Oh, the lesson. Oh, you're
having a lesson with...

- Yeah.
- The best.

- He is.
- He's the best.

- I know.
- Very lucky.

Thank you.
We're trying to...

- Can I talk to you?
- Can you... Yeah.

Just give us
just a minute, Maestro.

- Come with me.
- Okay.

- Hai Lai.
- Yes, what?

Do you want to have
a child with me?

What?

Let's have a child, you and me.

Uh, I'll be right there.

I'm doing something that's
really important to me,

and I would really appreciate it

if you would give me
the space to do that.

- I give you the space.
- Sorry.

Do you want to do this or not?

I really, really do. Okay.

So go back to, uh, measure...

He's still here.

You got to leave, man.

Hey.

Cynthia.

- Maestro.
- Hey.

Wow. This is really good.

Ah, yeah, it works for me.

Yes, yes, I'll do this for you.

I can move in. Yeah, yeah.

- What?
- Stay here. Yeah.

You know, I stayed
with Gloria last time.

I can stay here. Why not?

It'll be fun.

So wait.

Bradford's not coming
to the opening?

No. He's touring
with his documentary.

- Hmm.
- It's really important
to him, you know?

Yeah, and this really
matters to you.
He should be here.

Yeah, he should really
be here, shouldn't he?

Yes.

What about Rodrigo?

Is he gonna make it
for your big moment?

Yeah, I was going to invite him,

and then he, like, asked me
to have a child with him.

Wait. What?

Yeah, he was not being serious.

How do you know?

Because I know him.

Have you ever just, like,

asked Rodrigo what
the deal is with you two?

No. I don't need to.
I know what the deal is.

There isn't one.

Okay.

Just as long as you're not,

you know, waiting
around for him.

Ai, 'mano.

'mano.

It's the fucking five flights up

and the five flights down.

Uh, ¿quiéres algo a beber?

Uh...

una cerveza, por favor.

Dos, dos, dos.

Y un tequila.

Yo no, yo no.
No yo.

Ah, sí.

Cynthia. Look, look,

Cynthia.

Huh? My toca box.

- What is that?
- Heh heh.

Estoy bien.

You know, Maestro Rivera,
he took it away from me.

He took it away from me,
and he locked it up.

He locked it up
with all my things.

He locked it.

- Mira.
- Ha ha!

Hey, hey, no, no, no.

No, no. Hey, Rodrigo.

Mira.

Claro Que sí, Maestro.

Look at this crowd.

Half of Wall Street is here.

I'm half expecting the SCC
to kick the door down.

Yes. I'm going to make
my money back tonight.

I can feel it. I don't care

if I have to rifle through
pockets in the coat room.

Sorry. What was that?

We're doing great financially.

That was a joke and
totally off the record.

If you wouldn't mind stepping...

Oh, my goodness.

You look magnificent.

Excuse me.
I have to work.

- Oh, well...
- Ouch.

Hey.

Hey.

So, uh, before?

Hmm? Oh.

Yeah, that was a bit much.

Uh-huh.

You know dark matter?

What?

Dark matter, you know?

Yeah, the thing
that's all around us.

Do you know why we know
it's around us?

No.

Because the universe
is expanding

and contracting
at the same time.

See? Changing it out
and changing it in.

- Right.
- Like the present.

Hmm.

Are you ready for
the changes, Hailey?

Yeah.

I think they're
already happening.

I guess I'm
in the doghouse again.

So what did you do?

I don't know what I did.

I drove her to Long Island
and drove her back.

I don't know.

Maestro. Hi. Hello.

Um, I will just cut
right to the chase.

I would love to perform your
new piece with my ensemble.

- Hell, no.
- You're writing again?

Well, I mean, yes and no.

- That's fantastic.
- It is fantastic,

and it's exciting,
and it's dark,

and it's brave,
and it's very sad,

and... and the space
that I want to conduct it at

is this emerging
art space in Brooklyn.

- It's very cool.
- Oh, you should do it.

Are you mad?

You are a minor
electronic music star.

Only minor?

Brooklyn is your audience.

Maestro, you said
that I should perform
works that I feel,

and I really,
really feel this piece.

Now, I know
that there are people

probably lining up
around the block to do it...

Oh, there aren't.

He's hardly known at all.

All right, that's
enough. Go on. Uh...

Come on, come on.

- All right.
- Yes.

There'll be conditions.

Bravo!

Bravo, bravo!

Thank you all.
Thank you all.

Thank you so much for coming.

We've had a triumphant return.

We're stronger, we're better,

but most importantly,

we're together.

She has such a big heart.

She has such a big heart,

Gloria Windsor, right?

Yeah, a big heart, like a horse.

Like a horse?

Uh, thank you, Maestro.

Thank you.

Everyone here has
a big horse heart

because we care about this city,

this orchestra, and that's
why we're so excited

to be asking you
to renew your commitment

to the New York City
Symphony Orchestra.

Because we have
some amazing news
to give you.

Gloria is pregnant.

Ah ha ha ha!

And also...

Warren Boyd is pregnant,

and Bob the Union
is also pregnant,

and Cynthia is also pregnant...

All of you,
everyone, everybod...

Me, I am pregnant.

Why? Because we're announcing

our best initiative yet,

which is we're opening

the New York Symphony
Youth Orchestra!

Yay!

Yes, aha, yes.

But for now, this orchestra,
the main orchestra,

we desperately need,

we desperately need your help,

so please,

- if you could open...
- Any child...

Any child that wants
to learn an instrument,

he can come to us.
He or she can come to us,

or... or we will go to them!

Yes!

Ha ha ha ha! And

this amazing
long-term vision

can only be possible
with your near-term support.

And if there's a child

that doesn't have an instrument,

because most of them
don't have an instrument,

well, we're going to give
it to them for free!

Yes! Yes!

Yes! Ha ha ha!

- Do you want to add anything?
- No, I think you said it.

Yes, okay, okay. Whoo!

And, everyone,

give generously and...

Darling, we had no idea.

Uh, yes, we're
full of surprises.

- Yes.
- We are full of them.

Oh, can we have this room

for a quick minute,
please, fellas?

Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you.

Are you angry?
I cannot tell.

Look out!
Aah! Oh, my!

- What?
- What are you thinking?

- I'm trying to save...
- Yeah, but it's...

You can't just go marching
to your own drummer!

Let's talk about it
because if you're to be...

You have to talk to me
about these things!

I talk to you! I talk
to you all the time,

- and you don't listen to me!
- I stayed for you!

...what to do! Aah!

Yes, I do promote...

Gloria... Gloria...
Gloria! Gloria!
