Pearson (2019): Season 1, Episode 6 - The Donor - full transcript

Construction starts on North Park. Jessica finds new financial backers for Bobby's campaign.

Previously, on
"Pearson"...

You really sold your soul.

I believe in a lot
of the same things you do.

I'm just a lot smarter
about trying to get them done.

It looks like I'm standing
in the same place you are

by staying true to myself.

Well, the next time you want
to be true to yourself,

don't take me down with you.

Can they just throw us out
like this?

It was supposed to be 90 days.

Act of God.
This wasn't God.



I want to see progress
on North Park

this week,
or I'm out.

You were right.
I am seeing someone.

I'm in a relationship.

Stephanie Novak has MS.

I had to tell her.

She can't work five feet
from you

and not know
what's going on.

My ex-husband had ALS.

I don't know
why I'm telling you this.

Maybe it's because I'm here.

Keep your distance from her
for a while.

Wake up! You're not
keeping an eye on her.

She's keeping an eye
on you.



A man died.
It was my fault.

Imagine
I'm this man's father.

What would you say to me?

I'd say Tommy Diehl
didn't deserve to die.

Don't bother looking in there

unless you want
leftover Chinese

and, uh... oh,
half a grapefruit.

There's an open bottle
of white.

Oh, yes, please.

You know, after all
that room service,

I was kind of looking forward
to a home-cooked meal.

Start looking forward
to takeout.

Hey, whatever happened
to the Jessica Pearson

who used to cook me
beef bourguignon?

Did I do that?

- Yes, you did.
- Oh, yeah.

I was wooing you.

- Oh, you were wooing me, huh?
- Mm-hmm, yeah.

Welcome home.

Do you have to leave
right away?

Oh, I'm not sure yet.

I'm hoping to stay a day
or two, but, uh, we'll see.

Is everything all right?
Is it the trial?

Was that him back there?

Nick D'Amato.

Oh.

I mean, you two
seemed pretty familiar.

I was talking to him
about Quentin's illness

and I got choked up.

- Quentin's illness?
- Yeah.

J, you barely open up
to me about that.

The mayor's wife has MS.

I just found out about it.
That's why it came up.

I'm going straight to hell,
aren't I?

Oh, I appreciate the jealousy.

Oh?

You're gonna turn this
into a good thing?

When I only have you
for a day or two?

Yeah, damn right I am.

Come on, boys.
You're gonna be late.

And I know Sister Mary
doesn't want you to be late.

Oh, my gosh.

- Okay, what's for lunch?
- Peanut butter and jelly!

How'd you know?
Yes, peanut butter and jelly.

He knows because
we have it every day.

- Yeah!
- Peanut butter jelly time

- Peanut butter jelly time
- Peanut butter jelly time

Peanut butter jelly time

- Peanut butter jelly,
- peanut butter jelly

- Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat
- Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat

Where you at?
Where you at?

Now there you go,
there you go

How do you know
the Buckwheat Boyz?

- The who?
- From Mario Kart!

- Who?
- From Mario Kart.

I don't know what that is.
Let's go.

Hey, slow down, babe.

Mom, look! A transformer.

Can we go closer?
No, baby.

We got to get
to that bus stop,

or you're gonna be late.

All right.

Come on, baby.

- Whee!
- Let's go.

Hi, you've reached
the cell phone of Keri Allen.

Please leave the date
and time of your call

and don't forget
your phone number.

- Hey.
- What's up?

I didn't know you were here.
I thought you left.

I'm here.

I was hoping maybe you could
help me with my shot.

Yeah, of course.
You still nervous?

Oh, I just hate
looking at it.

Thanks.

Sexy.

Stop it.

Ready?

I wish I could go to the
conference with you next week.

Wait, you're not going?

Steph.

You will be fine.

You're my biggest asset.

How am I supposed to talk
to Garcetti

about a homeless initiative
without you there?

You're smarter than I am.

Oh, yeah, well,
you're smart enough.

Isn't that what Obama said
about Hillary?

He said,
"You're likable enough."

- What?
- He said she was likable enough.

Right.

Well, he got past it.

Yeah. He did.
