Schitt's Creek (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - Sebastien Raine - full transcript

Moira has set up a meeting in Schitt's Creek with her friend, renowned New York based photographer Sebastien Raine, to discuss a collaboration, which Moira envisions her as the paid subject, the photos to be taken in some exotic locale. What Moira fails to remember - even after being told - is that Sebastien is one of David's old boyfriends, their break-up, at least on David's side, being acrimonious as David finally came to the conclusion that Sebastien is a user. The meeting between Sebastien and Moira and the reunion between Sebastien and David don't go quite according to Moira or David's plans, or do they? Meanwhile, Roland is trying to avoid Bob as Bob is trying to set up his regular poker nights again, which Roland doesn't want to attend. Johnny will find out why as he does go to the first of those poker games with the regulars - Roland, Ronnie and Ray - where the usual happens: Bob wins big. During the proceedings, Johnny comes up with a theory based on what he sees that evening: that Bob, with Gwen's help, is cheating. Telling the other three players of his theory, they decide to test the theory, obviously without Bob or Gwen's knowledge of what they are doing. And Alexis needs some quick volunteer hours, within the next two weeks, as part of her graduation requirements. Ted invites her to accompany him to one of his regular volunteer activities: dance night at a seniors facility. Beyond needing to get over the "ew" factor of dealing with old people, Alexis will find the event to be an illuminating one.

Schitt's Creek - S03E10
"Sebastien Raine"

Family! I have exciting news!

Oh Good. David, I hoped you were home.

Thanks.

You're aware of the extraordinary work

of New York-Based
photographer Sebastien Raine?

You mean my ex?

When did you date Sebastien Raine?

They dated for like a month and a half

and David got very upset about it.

Okay, It was almost three months.



Four, if you include the month

that he was seeing other people.

And you met him through me.

That's nonsense.

I met Sebastien Raine at
an art opening years ago.

At my gallery.

And can you please stop
saying his full name.

He's a monster, who uses people,

- and leaves them for dead.
- Yeah.

I hate to play contrarian,
David, but The Times and I,

both consider Sebastien
Raine a dear friend.

Remember when he dumped you?

And you ate all those mall pretzels,

and watched "Bridget Jones's Diary"



every day for a year.

It wasn't a whole year,

And I will not feel shame
about the mall pretzels.

Okay, that's enough news for today.

Ummm no, what about him?

He's coming here.

What? Wha... Why?

Sebastien Raine wants to
collaborate on a project.

With me.

And you know his
commitment to his work.

He's willing to come all the way here.

When flying me to New
York would be a lot easier.

And a welcome escape.

But Sebastien Raine
puts his subjects first.

And he told me I must respect that.

Okay. You know what? I don't care.

So you can do whatever you like.

I could cancel,

but you just told me you don't care

so now I have no choice but to meet him.

-- Corrected by ChrisKe --
--Sync by the_foe...

....for my Boba--

I think he's coming.

So could you please go to
the window and check for me?

- Who's he?
- Uh, Sebastien Raine.

He's most likely wearing
a very expensive sweater,

that doesn't look very expensive.

Is he like, really...

Really handsome in a
homeless-y way sort of way? Yes.

Yup. Then he is coming here.

Oh, he is? Okay.

- He's walking.
- He's walking.

- He's walking towards here.
- Where is he walking to?

- And now he's coming in
- Now he's coming in...

and so he's here.

He's here. All right.

David.

- Oh...
- Wow.

This is...

exactly how I pictured it.

Sebastien.

Ah... You're-you're here.

I thought you were supposed
to be with my mother.

So good to see you.

Look at you... You look really...

Healthy.

Thanks.

I can't believe this is where you live.

I think you're brave.

Hi.

Stevie.

I like your sweater.

You must be David's girlfriend.

- No...
- No, I own The Motel,

so that makes me more
like your landlord?

No. It doesn't.

Stevie, Stevie. Stevie.

I'd love to Polaroid you naked one day.

Okay.

Okay?!

David, I'm thinking
maybe I'll stay the night,

so I hope we can, you know... catch up.

Yeah, I'm super busy these days...

Yeah, I just feel like we have
unfinished business, you and I.

Room five is available.

Room five sounds great.

So brave.

Hm-hm.

- So brave.
- Okay.

Moira!

Sebastien Raine!

- Hello!
- Ohhh!

Is this place not funny?

I think it might just be one
of my favorite local dives.

I love it. It's just so unassertive.

You can't find this in New York City.

New York misses you, Moira.

You're too kind.

And correct.

Tell me things, Sebastien.

Tell me everything!

Well, I just got back from London.

I was touring with Madonna.

She commissioned a
series of anti-portraits.

Whoa.

Well, it sounds brilliant.

I want to do something even
more brilliant with you, Moira.

Hm.

Come, let's walk.
Creativity lives on its feet.

Anything else is bullshit.

I just ordered you a Sanka-ccino.

It's a beautiful day.

And you're a beautiful subject.

Sebastian, I must insist
you stop with the flattery...

In due time.

So I have a quick little
school form you to fill out.

Sure.

What is this?

Um nothing. It just
says that I work here.

Uh-huh. This is for volunteer hours.

But you don't volunteer here.

You work here.

But, I volunteer to work here.

Because it's your job.

Okay but, I need these
hours to graduate so...

So looks like you're gonna have to find

somewhere to volunteer.

Okay. It's just, I thought
my community service hours

would apply but they don't count

because their court-ordered. So...

Yeah, I think the whole
point of volunteering

is to give something back, right?

Okay. Sure. But whatever I give back

has to happen within two weeks.

Well, I might have something for you

but... I don't think you're
going to be interested.

Try me.

Well, I work with some
seniors a couple times a month.

Wow. So cute.

Um, it's just I have a thing
with skin tags and old smells.

So I might just need to think on it.

Well, tonight's gonna be
fun though, dance lessons!

We'd have to touch them.

Oh psst! Hey, Johnny!

Come here! Come here! Come here!

- Hey Roland.
- Here sit down. Sit. Sit!

Okay. Now act like you're talking to me.

I am talking to you.

No. Not like that.

It's got to be more conversational.

You know, like, um...

"Yes the weather is cold."

Okay, I'm not following.

Okay, that's better.

- But try it a little more casually.
- What is going on?

Bob is trying to get his
poker night together again

and he wants me to play.

And I can't afford it.

Well then just say no, politely decline.

Well that's not gonna work, Johnny.

Tell him that we're doing
something together tonight, okay?

Tell him... you're taking
me for a haircut tonight.

- Haircut?
- Hey Johnny.

- Roland.
- Oh, Bob.

- Almost didn't see you there.
- Right.

I was just Chattin' away with Johnny.

Well, I just wanted to let you know that

we're starting the
big poker night again,

so if you're interested...

Uh well...

I wouldn't mind playing, Bob.

- Really?
- Well..

That's great!

Well, listen I'll see
you both at my place,

uh... around seven.

Seven o'clock.

Can I ask you something?

Um, do you have even
the slightest concept

of what just happened here?

- Oh! It is so nice to get away.
- Hm.

There's something very cathartic

about stepping into
someone else's world.

Hm.

That's one of the reasons
we chose to settle here.

- David seems well.
- Well he...

Excuse me?

I ran into him earlier at the motel.

At the motel?

And here I thought I gave you

very specific instructions
to go directly to the cafe.

Ever the renegade.

Yeah, I got here and
decided it was probably best

to get a room.

Only a day just didn't seem enough.

You got yourself a room?

Oh, aren't you lucky!

They're usually booked up.

You must have used our name.

But Sebastien, I was
under the impression

that you were here just for
today for a quick consult...

Hey! What are you doing?

Sorry, it's the way the
light is catching you.

The photo took itself.

Ah, but you had to push the button.

Sebastien don't, please.

This is my talk now, shoot later look.

So, this visage is off-limits
for-for the moment.

Plea...

Don't worry, I'm just
using you for scale.

It's this backdrop.

There's a provincial
romanticism to all this,

that's just...

terrifying and important.

Far be it from me to stand in the way

of your inspiration.

Well, why don't you
actually stand over there?

Where?

- Further into the field.
- Oh...

Yes!

No, into the field.

- Further!
- Huh?

- Yeah, into the field.
- Umm?

Yes. Further!

Sebastien, I was...

Let the field reveal itself to you.

Okay... I was wondering

when we do the actual shoot... um...

Are we thinking studio or on location?

Because I bet Mr. Schnabel

would love to loan us the Palazzo...

Yes!

Okay. As long as you can still hear me.

I was also thinking Berlin...

Oh hi!

Nice day with Sebastien?

Very productive.

I think we've laid the groundwork

for an exciting enterprise.

I'm sure you'll be a wonderful subject.

Oh, thank you, sweetheart.

Today was more about discussing theme,

- and tone, mise en scene.
- Uh-huh.

You know, he may have taken
a few reference photos, but...

So he photographed you today then?

Hm-hm. You know just a few
dozens snaps about town...

picturettes, really.

Why would you have
allowed this to happen?

I don't know he just started shooting

and shouting and I did
what he told me to do

and I "leaned in" to the moment.

How did that work out for you?

I leaned in! I don't know, David.

Why don't you try it... sometime!

Everybody, I'd like to introduce Alexis,

she's going to be joining us tonight.

So that way we'll all have partners.

That's great!

Dot, you won't need the Swiffer.

I guess I'll be dancing with Ted.

I thought Carol assigns
the dance partners.

We'll all get a chance
to dance with Ted.

Everyone up!

Come on.

This is actually very cute.

Although I did think that
there would be more of them.

Yeah, well there used
to be, but... you know.

Oh, okay,

but these ones actually
smell like very clean,

like baby powder.

Yeah, I think it's probably better

if you call the girls by their names.

Ted, could you give me a
hand with these chairs here?

Of course!

We've heard a lot about you.

That is so sweet.

Why would he bring her here?

Are you talking about me?

You can be my dance partner, dear.

Dot.

Does Dot have arthritis?

Because it looks like
she's giving me the finger.

Well, she has arthritis,

but not in that hand.

Full house. Read 'em and weep.

And I think I come in second

because I got a pair of Queens.

There's no second place, Roland.

Well, you were right about
Bob. He's quite the player.

I'll go see if Gwen's
has any more of these

bacon-wrapped scallops.

Yeah, I guess it's another
trip to Bob's laundromat, right?

You know, because he keeps
taking us to the cleaners.

Yeah, we get it, Roland.

I don't think it's an accident

that Bob keeps winning.

What are you talking about?

Haven't you noticed how
Gwen circles the table

with appetizers, constantly eying Bob.

Then he lays down a
big fat bet and wins.

You know, come to think of it,

those matching visors
they're a little suspicious

I don't want to believe this,

But ah, I do miss my wristwatch.

I just think it'd be
interesting to see what happens

if Gwen wasn't around for the next hand.

Ahhh. Like if she had an
"accident" or something?

I don't mean bump her off, Roland.

I mean, if she's not here,

if she had to go to the store.

I want to see how Bob's luck gonna hold

if when Gwen's not here.

It's worth a shot.

Okay, uh, do you want me to handle this?

I'm pretty good in
high-stakes situations.

No. I think, I've got it.

Okay. Well, I'll ride shotgun with you.

So Bob. Were just talking
about how delicious the food is

and you know the only
thing missing is...

Gwen's gotta go!

I think what Roland is saying is...

if she could maybe go to the store

to perhaps pick up some a little more...

Kosher?

And halal.

Gwen, you called it!

Yeah. Sure. Sure. That would do it.

Yeah and some gluten-free
options, for the ladies.

Oh Gosh,

I'm sorry I didn't think of this.

But you know, maybe...
maybe Roland could go?

He's running pretty low on chips.

Sure. I can drive.

I don't think you want to drive, Roland.

I don't mind. I love driving.

I don't think you do.

Yeah, I don't love
driving. Not at night. No!

And I'm drunk.

Okay.

I'm all right, dear. I could go.

Thanks, sweetheart.

Good. All right, so my deal.

David.

I'm glad you're here. Come in.

Um yeah, I was just getting a drink...

by the uh... the
vending machine... so...

I had a prolific day
with your mother today.

Yes she said.

Very excited about the shoot.

The photos are really haunting.

Haunting.

Sure she'd be thrilled
about that adjective.

Umm, she told me this little... trip

was supposed to be more
of a creative discussion.

David, your Mother is a revelation.

This is the way she was meant
to be presented to the world.

I'm sorry.

Is this you deciding what
someone else wants again?

I-I want you to know that I care

about what happened between you and me.

And while my therapist said
I should never feel sorrow,

I do appreciate your pain.

Okay.

And I wanna explore that.

Uh-huh.

Maybe... even...

physically.

Oh...

Well, I shouldn't.

Oh you should.

Okay, fine, but um, I can't stay.

Um, okay...

Joan, I'm probably wrong,

but I feel like the
other ladies are very...

un-soothed by the fact that I'm here.

Oh they are, but don't worry.

It's just that we've just
all grown very fond Of Ted.

Oh well... we're not dating.

But I do understand that old women

can get very possessive
about young... younger...

Dear, we know all about
the failed engagements.

But don't worry,

I'm not going to rake you
over the coals to find out

how on earth you ever let
that one get away. Or why?

Okay...

It's none of my business

and I'm sure you have your reasons.

I'd just want to know what they are?

Aggressive move, Joan.

Well, I've been trying to set
Ted up with my granddaughter

For two years now. And nothing.

Do you want me to put in a good word?

It wouldn't matter. And you know why?

Is she not cute?

She's not you.

You must know that Ted
is still stuck on you.

I think you ladies are
just a little bit confused.

Ted and I are just very close friends.

Hm.

My husband and I were really
close friends for 52 years.

Mind if I cut in?

Oh, yeah.

But I'm also happy to keep
dancing with one of them.

No, I meant I could dance with Joan.

Just the ladies get pretty upset

if I don't divide my time between them.

Oh, yeah. Yeah...

Uh... Well then I will dance with Dot!

I would rather dance with the Swiffer.

Okay...

Oh, I can't believe I took
that with three sevens.

Well, I guess it wasn't
Gwen, was it, Johnny?

Sorry?

Nothing, nothing, Bob.

Well, uh, Johnny had this theory

that Gwen and you were...

Johnny, why don't you
tell Bob your theory.

Well, Uh...

You thought we were cheating?

No! No... I

No offense, but I don't need
to cheat to beat any of you.

It's just, you win a lot, Bob.

And there's a reason for that.

Listen now Ronnie, when you
- when you have a good hand,

you close your cards real quick.

And Ray, when you've got a bad hand,

you start tapping your foot.

And Johnny your right
eyebrow kind of just pops up

And Roland... well, you know...

I don't even know if you know the rules.

I don't know all of them. No.

Well you know, truth is

we put most of the
winnings towards the snacks

that Gwen serves up.

We thought it was kind of a
special evening for everyone.

In my defense, I didn't
believed any of this, Bob.

Gwen is very trustworthy.

- Ray, you're tapping your foot.
- Okay.

- Moira
- Good morning, Sebastien.

I was up all night
evaluating our little project

and I've come to the
unfortunate conclusion

that you may have
misrepresented your intentions.

I wanted to capture the real Moira Rose.

Does the real Moira
Rose live in a studio?

Or the Palazzo?

I have. And I will again.

If you're planning to
capitalize on those images...

You just have to trust me.

With this work you will, once again,

sit atop the summit of
cultural conversation,

with your inspired unfettering.

Oh, I'd love to believe you,

but there's a big fat line
between charm and bullshit.

Give me your camera.

David?!

Umm, yes Sebastien
and I just had some um,

stuff that we needed to talk about.

Well, I'm having a hard time landing

on surprise or betrayal.

Yeah, I should probably go. So...

Give me the memory card, Sebastien.

Moira, I'm scared for us.

Oh, you mean this memory card?

Yeah, I'd give it back,

but I don't think it'll
be of much use to you.

It accidentally fell out of your camera

into my hand last night.

And then fell out of
my hand into my drink.

And then I stepped on it a lot. So...

It was really good
to see you, Sebastien.

Good luck with the rest of this project.

David, I feel terrible that
you had to do that just for me.

It wasn't just for you.

Let's just say we both won.

Okay folks, we're going to start with
something a little different tonight.

The game is called crazy eights.

And the diamond shaped things are wild.

Roland, shush.

Well I'm just glad
we're back here again,

and that we could put all
that unpleasantness behind us.

Gwen, these Teriyaki
meatballs they're delicious.

Wow and those sliders look incredible.

Those aren't for you.

How's that watch working out for you?

I love it.

Thanks.

Johnny...

Joahnny...
