Portlandia (2011–2018): Season 1, Episode 3 - Aimee - full transcript
Fred and Carrie hire a maid only to discover that she is their favorite singer Aimee Mann.
Hey! Nice choice.
I love this place.
So, we're thinking
it's a callous, right?
And so he cuts it open...
It's a wart.
I mean.
Oh, come on.
A guy like that
is hanging out here?
This bar is over.
What?
Ah, come on, man.
Fixed-gear bikes are over.
Hey, man, take it.
It's free... enjoy it.
'Cause they're over.
Over!
And I show up and
I'm giving everybody hugs.
You know,
"hey, you're my cousin.
"You're this.
"You're that."
And I figure out...
It's, like, not even
my family at all.
Like, I don't know
anybody there.
I'm like a total stranger.
Stupid.
What?
What did that guy make?
Guess what?
Shell art is over!
It's done!
Hey, thanks
for ruining shell art.
That's over.
That's over.
What?
Chin breads are over.
Everything's over!
The business he wanted open
before that was a sport store.
Hockey gear and, uh,
they had, uh, football gear.
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
This guy's in there?
And, uh... he's looking at me.
How are ya, friend?
It's cold out there.
This bar is so over.
Hey.
Get over here.
Do you see that?
It's our cleaning lady.
That's great.
It's aimee mann.
What?
That's not aimee mann.
Yes, it is.
Aimee.
Aimee.
It's so crazy
she's like in our house.
Why is she
cleaning our house?
I guess the music industry
must be really suffering
or something.
I don't know.
God, it's like you always
read articles about it
and it's totally true.
I don't read
the whole articles, though.
You know, like, I only read,
like, parts of them.
I know, but the headlines
are always, like, "the music
"industry's in the toilet."
Right.
That's as much as I read.
I feel like
we should talk to her.
Yeah, oh, no, totally.
Miss. Mann.
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry to bother you.
We're, like, super huge fans.
You're, like, the super coolest.
And we're, like,
honored to meet you.
And you're such a good singer.
Well, thank you very much.
That's good to hear.
Thanks.
Appreciate it.
It's just funny to even
stand this close to you.
Like, I've tried
at concerts to be this close.
But I never can
get up to the front
'cause people are so crowded.
Yeah, it's always so crowed.
Well, that's really
nice to hear... thanks.
Sorry about
the music industry.
That's a drag, huh?
Yeah,
well, thing's are crazy.
How about that?
I apologize
for downloading, like,
your last four records
and I burned all of them
for friends.
That's awful.
Well, I appreciate that.
Yeah.
We're super being nerdy,
loser, so like...
well, I should
probably get back to work
'cause I gotta do the floor.
Didn't you do this already?
I mean, some of this is not...
it looks like dirt
but it's not.
It actually is dirt.
It is dirt.
Okay.
You know, I mean I can
totally just do it again.
It's the kind of thing
where you actually
need to get up on the stove
to get enough leverage.
Right, okay.
And also, like,
don't clean it too much.
'Cause, like, we don't wanna
taste the cleaning supplies,
you know.
It's, like, acidic.
So, somewhere
in between the full scrub...
it is such a fine line.
It is such a fine line.
And you're gonna nail it.
Also, I don't really care.
It's, like,
it doesn't matter to me.
Like, have fun.
Okay.
I'll keep it in mind, thanks.
Nice to meet you guys.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, aimee.
Save me.
Two.
Man, I like how
they roast the beans here.
It's like the only place
in town that does it right.
No, no, get out of here,
man, okay?
You messed with her.
Look at her.
She's upset.
That is my friend.
The way you treat people.
What are you?
Think about that.
Hichiro, do the dog thing.
Yeah.
What's that?
There's a box.
Oh... yes!
What?
It's here.
Who's this from?
Uh, that's a secret,
but it's for you.
Is it clothes?
No, I'm gonna tell you
about it tonight.
Tonight?
Good girls wait.
What is it?
Okay.
I know we're
technically not engaged yet...
But I did want to
give you a ring.
That's hot.
It's got batteries
and everything.
Just like a watch.
Baby, I wanna make you tick.
Let's try this, right?
Let me get this thing open.
That box is so huge
for, like, such a little thing.
Don't worry about the box.
Just concentrate on me.
I don't want it
to go to waste.
Maybe we can
make something of it.
I'm pretty good at crafts.
Baby, come on.
Just give me a minute, okay?
Please.
Lance, look.
Okay... I get it.
Great... come on.
Feel that?
Yeah.
It takes, like, centuries
for all of that stuff
to decompose, you know?
God, keep your head
in the party zone.
I wanna do a party of my own.
Look, Lance.
A chess set.
I used the cardboard for
the board, and the styrofoam
for the pieces.
All right, you did it,
come on.
There's so much more
we can do.
Please.
I have an idea.
A way that nothing
will go to waste.
Not one part of that box.
Um, hi.
Um, we thought you
could use this as a house.
Sir?
Bro... bro.
Lance!
Look, the box is here.
We just got rid of it.
How did it get back up here?
What do you want?
Get out!
Get out!
No!
Oh, no.
Aimee?
Hey, aimee, can
you come in here for a second?
Did you wash this?
Yep.
Does this look right to you?
It's my sweater.
This is a delicate.
I totally understand
that and...
I got this for him
for his birthday last year
and he's never gonna be able
to wear it again.
It was a birthday present
for my birthday.
Like, the day that I was born.
And look, we're laid back.
We don't care.
But this, I can't wear.
I don't know how you can tell
if it doesn't fit
if you don't try it on.
You can tell by putting
it up against my body.
Look through the stuff,
that's all.
I'm sorry your sweater
got shrunk a little bit.
Okay... apology accepted.
I'm sure we'll work out
a system next time.
But, um...
We will.
Truce.
All right.
Aimee.
Aimee.
Guess who we hate?
Suzanne vega.
Suzanne vega.
You guys...
you guys don't have to do that.
I mean I'm...
I have actually no problem
with Suzanne vega at all.
Hey, do you mind picking
this up off the floor?
My necklace is gone.
It's not in there at all?
No.
Do you think she took it?
Yes, I think she took it.
Hey, aimee?
Um, there's a necklace
missing from this top drawer
that belongs to her,
and it's kind of
important to us.
Do you know where it went?
No... was it out?
No, it was...
it was right here.
It was in the drawer?
No, I didn't open any drawers.
Uh-huh, so it's
just miraculously gone?
It just walked off on its own.
Well, I don't know
anything about it.
We're gonna ask you
one more time, okay?
One more time.
Do you know where
the necklace went?
No, I didn't take it,
but thank you.
And I will keep
an eye out for it, okay?
There's a little
grace period where it'd still
be okay if you were like,
"yeah, I took it."
Five, four, three...
no, I didn't
take your necklace.
Okay... fine.
We'll take your word for it.
Can I get back to work?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Aimee... aimee,
you know who we hate?
Tori Amos.
Isn't she the worst?
I... you know, I don't really
have a problem with Tori amos.
I wrote Tori amos a letter.
She didn't write back.
You're the greatest.
Aimee.
Aimee.
Guess who we hate?
Sarah McLachlan.
We made a piñata of her.
Jesus Christ.
I know her.
She's genuinely a nice person.
It's totally uncool.
Seriously, cut it out.
Hey, there's a little bit
of a mess right here.
Can you clean it up?
I'm leaving.
Hey, aimee.
Oh, hey, Sarah McLachlan.
Thanks for sticking up
for me.
No problem.
Did they really make
a piñata of me?
Yeah.
Who does that?
I don't know.
So I just want the,
uh, strawberry cream cheese
and honey.
And honey.
All right... thanks.
How's your dog?
He's good.
You know, it's like I-I had
him on a rope and then he
didn't wanna be on a rope.
Thanks, dude.
Shit, hold on.
Hello?
What?
No, you gotta get outta there.
Dude, get outta there.
You've got to get outta there.
You got to.
Hey, it's me.
I know.
I know you just...
you just gotta get outta there.
Listen, listen, listen,
listen, stop.
You gotta get outta there.
That's all.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
Just tell him to get out.
No... get out.
I am out.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get out.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get out.
Get out.
Just go.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta, you gotta.
Just go.
You gotta.
Move.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta,
you gotta, you gotta.
You gotta get outta there.
Calm down.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta here.
That's all we're asking.
Just get out.
You know, I wouldn't gotten
out of there a long time ago.
Are you gonna get out...
Remember how
you used to follow me
in the restaurant?
You shadowed me
on your first day?
Oh, yeah.
It's just like that.
Latisha, you can do this.
All right.
Let's go... hi, guys.
Hey.
I'm Frankie.
I'm gonna be shadowed
by latisha tonight.
Get over here, girl.
Hi, all.
Okay, this guy
has a really weird neck.
Don't say anything about it,
but compliment it.
Oooh, you have a neck
like a movie star.
Now you try it.
You have a neck
like a movie star.
No, don't look at me,
look at him.
You have a neck
like a movie star.
No, look at him.
You have a neck
like a movie star.
Good.
Hey, mister.
Hey, mister.
I'm gonna get my boss.
I'm gonna get my boss.
No, he's fine.
He's fine.
He's fine.
He's fine.
He's not the one.
He's not the one.
You... he's not
the one touching.
He's not the one touching.
I can't have
any chemicals or anything
from companies on my body
because it creates a smell.
It's like a putrid order.
What are you guys drinking?
You know you guys are charged
way too much for the drinks.
No... hey, come here.
Your pecks are so big.
Oooh, you're like the hulk.
Oooh, you're like the hulk.
No, not me.
I'm not the hulk.
He's the hulk.
Oh, he's the hulk.
Did you hear about the hulk?
No, no, no,
you wanna stroke.
You know what
this reminds him of?
When I'm doing this?
I know.
When you're at a store
and you just wanna grab
that tie from the rack
and it won't come off
'cause it's stuck.
No.
Do it.
I-I.
No.
Thanks for helping me.
Yeah.
You'll get used to it.
You can stop shadowing me, now.
You can stop shadowing me.
No, stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
People call us
dumpster divers.
Dumpster divers.
See, perfectly good stuff.
All we're doing is not
letting anything go to waste.
Look, baby food.
We can use it as a sauce.
Companies throw out
perfectly good products.
Americans are wasteful.
I don't know why
people live any other way.
Yeah.
There's no reason ever in
the world in this time and
this day in age to buy food.
This is a perfectly
good watermelon.
There's a hair on it.
Other than that.
That's... I don't know.
I mean we stepped in some
nasty stuff and then we just
get out of there, wash out feet.
Get outta there.
Walk down the street.
I mean we're like architects.
We have an eye for detail.
We know what's good in there
and we know what we can discard.
And if it's nasty,
shut that thing.
How sweet.
So we got a dinner party
coming up and we invited
a bunch of people...
all our friends.
This is just
like a decoration
for the dinner party...
like a Chinese lantern.
People just
throw anything out.
You remember that shirt
I have that's missing a sleeve?
Yeah.
This is a sleeve.
Use that as a sleeve?
Yeah.
Oh, look, aqua.
Yeah, o, that's vinegar.
I know.
I'm realizing it right now.
Oh, you like that?
You can make something
out of there.
Yeah.
You came back to life.
Wow.
Who'd throw this out?
That's exactly
what I was thinking.
It's crazy.
That looks great on you.
It totally works.
Home sweet home.
It's gonna be
the best dinner party ever.
You know if they bring
extra people and extra friends
that's fine with me.
I think we have plenty.
Some good friends
of ours will be like,
"why do you always serve this?
"Get us outta here.
"This is like the ninth time
"you've made this for us.
"We're asking you as friends.
"Just come on.
"Please, we'll buy it for you.
"It's on us."
Hey, what time
you coming over?
Oh, really?
Damn.
That's everyone.
No one's coming now.
I don't understand.
No, no... come on.
Don't be upset.
It's okay.
It's just not fair.
No, no, come on.
Nobody's coming.
You know what we'll do?
Let's go for a dive.
That'll cheer you up, all right?
I saw a new dumpster
over by Morrison's.
All right?
It's by the toy store.
We'll get some kids games.
We'll play those.
All right?
You did good.
Don't worry about this.
We'll eat it later.
There's nothing, man.
It's just junk.
It's garbage.
Daniel, look.
Hey.
Hey, who would throw
a friend out like this?
Yeah.
You'll come to our
dinner party, right?
Such a good boy.
Who wants lentil stew?
Okay.
This is going to be amazing.
We are starving.
It is a curry, lentil,
cabbage, cumin stew.
So how long were you
over by that dumpster?
That's where you hang out?
All right.
Found a really good place,
uh, behind the, uh, thai place.
They said, "are you guys
"supposed to be back here?"
We said, "where are we
"not supposed to be?"
Daniel.
Look... awww.
It looks like
a little kuala bear.
Who would throw
something like this away?
She likes things.
To my friends I say this,
"okay, you guys win.
"But who saved more money?"
And the answer is really,
they did 'cause of all
the energy and work,
but still.
Aimee.
Aimee!
Hey.
Aimee... hi.
Please, don't go.
Don't go.
Well,
I'm actually done with
my cleaning and stuff,
so I just wanna go home
and, like, change my clothes.
Guess what?
What?
We got you a show.
We did?
Yeah, we did.
We got you a show.
You got me a gig?
Uh-hmm.
Like in town or...
pretty close by venue.
Who suspect they could
never love anyone
except the freaks
who could never love anyone.
Thank you.
Thanks so much.
Yeah!
One more.
Encore!
Encore!
One more song!
More!
Aimee!
Aimee!
Aimee!
Aimee.
Okay, if she comes back
I don't want her to play
any new songs, right?
Yeah.
I'm always like, why?
I hate - I hate
when people do that.
I have to, like, fake,
like enthusiasm.
I'm like, "yeah"
and it's like...
there she is.
There she is.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Sarah, sit!
Aimee, go ahead.
Play one song, please.
Save me if you could.
Save me.
Doesn't it sound good
on these little speakers?
That's the best way
to listen to music,
just on a laptop.
Yep.
In that song,
"save me" when you say
"from the ranks of the freaks,"
what did you mean by that?
I kinda wrote it
a while ago, I can't...
we'll leave you
alone in a second.
But, seriously,
full great live best show.
I was gonna say, top four
of the last seven years.
What?
You wrote this.
Yep.
Hichiro.
Yey!
I love this place.
So, we're thinking
it's a callous, right?
And so he cuts it open...
It's a wart.
I mean.
Oh, come on.
A guy like that
is hanging out here?
This bar is over.
What?
Ah, come on, man.
Fixed-gear bikes are over.

be okay if you were like,
"yeah, I took it."
Five, four, three...
no, I didn't
take your necklace.
Okay... fine.
We'll take your word for it.
Can I get back to work?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Aimee... aimee,
you know who we hate?
Tori Amos.
Isn't she the worst?
I... you know, I don't really
have a problem with Tori amos.
I wrote Tori amos a letter.
She didn't write back.
You're the greatest.
Aimee.
Aimee.
Guess who we hate?
Sarah McLachlan.
We made a piñata of her.
Jesus Christ.
I know her.
She's genuinely a nice person.
It's totally uncool.
Seriously, cut it out.
Hey, there's a little bit
of a mess right here.
Can you clean it up?
I'm leaving.
Hey, aimee.
Oh, hey, Sarah McLachlan.
Thanks for sticking up
for me.
No problem.
Did they really make
a piñata of me?
Yeah.
Who does that?
I don't know.
So I just want the,
uh, strawberry cream cheese
and honey.
And honey.
All right... thanks.
How's your dog?
He's good.
You know, it's like I-I had
him on a rope and then he
didn't wanna be on a rope.
Thanks, dude.
Shit, hold on.
Hello?
What?
No, you gotta get outta there.
Dude, get outta there.
You've got to get outta there.
You got to.
Hey, it's me.
I know.
I know you just...
you just gotta get outta there.
Listen, listen, listen,
listen, stop.
You gotta get outta there.
That's all.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.
Just tell him to get out.
No... get out.

You gotta get outta there.
You gotta get outta there.

Calm down.

You gotta get outta here.
That's all we're asking.
Just get out.
You know, I wouldn't gotten
out of there a long time ago.
Are you gonna get out...
Remember how
you used to follow me
in the restaurant?
You shadowed me
on your first day?
Oh, yeah.
It's just like that.
Latisha, you can do this.
All right.
Let's go... hi, guys.
Hey.
I'm Frankie.
I'm gonna be shadowed
by latisha tonight.
Get over here, girl.
Hi, all.
Okay, this guy
has a really weird neck.
Don't say anything about it,
but compliment it.
Oooh, you have a neck
like a movie star.
Now you try it.
You have a neck
like a movie star.
No, don't look at me,
look at him.
You have a neck
like a movie star.
No, look at him.
You have a neck
like a movie star.
Good.
Hey, mister.
Hey, mister.
I'm gonna get my boss.
I'm gonna get my boss.
No, he's fine.
He's fine.
He's fine.
He's fine.
He's not the one.
He's not the one.
You... he's not
the one touching.
He's not the one touching.
I can't have
any chemicals or anything
from companies on my body
because it creates a smell.
It's like a putrid order.
What are you guys drinking?
You know you guys are charged
way too much for the drinks.
No... hey, come here.
Your pecks are so big.
Oooh, you're like the hulk.
Oooh, you're like the hulk.
No, not me.
I'm not the hulk.
He's the hulk.
Oh, he's the hulk.
Did you hear about the hulk?
No, no, no,
you wanna stroke.
You know what
this reminds him of?
When I'm doing this?
I know.
When you're at a store
and you just wanna grab
that tie from the rack
and it won't come off
'cause it's stuck.
No.
Do it.
I-I.
No.
Thanks for helping me.
Yeah.
You'll get used to it.
You can stop shadowing me, now.
You can stop shadowing me.
No, stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
Stop shadowing me.
People call us
dumpster divers.
Dumpster divers.
See, perfectly good stuff.
All we're doing is not
letting anything go to waste.
Look, baby food.
We can use it as a sauce.
Companies throw out
perfectly good products.
Americans are wasteful.
I don't know why
people live any other way.
Yeah.
There's no reason ever in
the world in this time and
this day in age to buy food.
This is a perfectly
good watermelon.
There's a hair on it.
Other than that.
That's... I don't know.
I mean we stepped in some
nasty stuff and then we just
get out of there, wash out feet.
Get outta there.
Walk down the street.
I mean we're like architects.
We have an eye for detail.
We know what's good in there
and we know what we can discard.
And if it's nasty,
shut that thing.
How sweet.
So we got a dinner party
coming up and we invited
a bunch of people...
all our friends.
This is just
like a decoration
for the dinner party...
like a Chinese lantern.
People just
throw anything out.
You remember that shirt
I have that's missing a sleeve?
Yeah.
This is a sleeve.
Use that as a sleeve?
Yeah.
Oh, look, aqua.
Yeah, o, that's vinegar.
I know.
I'm realizing it right now.
Oh, you like that?
You can make something
out of there.
Yeah.
You came back to life.
Wow.
Who'd throw this out?
That's exactly
what I was thinking.
It's crazy.
That looks great on you.
It totally works.
Home sweet home.
It's gonna be
the best dinner party ever.
You know if they bring
extra people and extra friends
that's fine with me.
I think we have plenty.
Some good friends
of ours will be like,
"why do you always serve this?
"Get us outta here.
"This is like the ninth time
"you've made this for us.
"We're asking you as friends.
"Just come on.
"Please, we'll buy it for you.
"It's on us."
Hey, what time
you coming over?
Oh, really?
Damn.
That's everyone.
No one's coming now.
I don't understand.
No, no... come on.
Don't be upset.
It's okay.
It's just not fair.
No, no, come on.
Nobody's coming.
You know what we'll do?
Let's go for a dive.
That'll cheer you up, all right?
I saw a new dumpster
over by Morrison's.
All right?
It's by the toy store.
We'll get some kids games.
We'll play those.
All right?
You did good.
Don't worry about this.
We'll eat it later.
There's nothing, man.
It's just junk.
It's garbage.
Daniel, look.
Hey.
Hey, who would throw
a friend out like this?
Yeah.
You'll come to our
dinner party, right?
Such a good boy.
Who wants lentil stew?
Okay.
This is going to be amazing.
We are starving.
It is a curry, lentil,
cabbage, cumin stew.
So how long were you
over by that dumpster?
That's where you hang out?
All right.
Found a really good place,
uh, behind the, uh, thai place.
They said, "are you guys
"supposed to be back here?"
We said, "where are we
"not supposed to be?"
Daniel.
Look... awww.
It looks like
a little kuala bear.
Who would throw
something like this away?
She likes things.
To my friends I say this,
"okay, you guys win.
"But who saved more money?"
And the answer is really,
they did 'cause of all
the energy and work,
but still.
Aimee.
Aimee!
Hey.
Aimee... hi.
Please, don't go.
Don't go.
Well,
I'm actually done with
my cleaning and stuff,
so I just wanna go home
and, like, change my clothes.
Guess what?
What?
We got you a show.
We did?
Yeah, we did.
We got you a show.
You got me a gig?
Uh-hmm.
Like in town or...
pretty close by venue.
Who suspect they could
never love anyone
except the freaks
who could never love anyone.
Thank you.
Thanks so much.
Yeah!
One more.
Encore!
Encore!
One more song!
More!
Aimee!
Aimee!
Aimee!
Aimee.
Okay, if she comes back
I don't want her to play
any new songs, right?
Yeah.
I'm always like, why?
I hate - I hate
when people do that.
I have to, like, fake,
like enthusiasm.
I'm like, "yeah"
and it's like...
there she is.
There she is.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Sarah, sit!
Aimee, go ahead.
Play one song, please.
Save me if you could.
Save me.
Doesn't it sound good
on these little speakers?
That's the best way
to listen to music,
just on a laptop.
Yep.
In that song,
"save me" when you say
"from the ranks of the freaks,"
what did you mean by that?
I kinda wrote it
a while ago, I can't...
we'll leave you
alone in a second.
But, seriously,
full great live best show.
I was gonna say, top four
of the last seven years.
What?
You wrote this.
Yep.
Hichiro.
Yey!
