She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

Previously on She-Hulk...

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury...

Who the hell is that?

Who forced you to escape this
insanely high-security prison undetected?

A Sorcerer Supreme of the Mystic Arts,
and his name is...

Wong. Just Wong.

He's either a sorcerer
who lives in New York,

or a librarian who lives in Nepal.

Jen, there is the nicest young man
who works at the coffee shop that I go to.

- His name is Yusuf.
- Do not set me up, Mom.

No. No. He's much too young for you.



I'm not gonna be a superhero.

Jen, when you have powers like this,
it's like putting a target on your back.

If you're gonna strut around
showing off your powers,

you better be able to back it up.

The ancient art of levitation.

Are you not amazed? Summoning fire.

Fire. Behold flame.

For my next illusion,
the great Donny Blaze

- needs assistance from a volunteer.
- Ooh!

- Oh!
- Miss, if you may. Round of applause.

And what is your name, young lady?

Madisynn, with two N's, one Y,
but it's not where you think.

Well, as the great Billy Shakes once said,

"A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet."



Ah!

Donny Blaze!

Do the thing. Do the thing.
Do it, do it, do it.

How about I try something
with a little more heat?

Come on.
Please, please, please.

Come on. Please.

Come on.

Donny Blaze!

FYI, these don't smell like anything.

Ew!

Oh.

Where am I?
What happened to all the goblins?

Who are you? Are you the goblin king?

No, I'm not. Where did you come from?

I grew up in Fort Lauderdale,

but now my dad lives in Phoenix
with his new family,

so I go there sometimes.

- He married this woman...
- Did a cut-rate magician send you?

Um, not exactly.

He sent me to a diff dimensh
and a talking goat helped me escape

a lava pit in exchange for
six drops of my blood.

Oop. Then I kinda like browned out
and now I'm here.

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay, no, no, no.
I'm gonna send you home.

- What's your address?
- I don't even remember.

Wait. This is the one
where they kill Adriana.

It was so sad.

- You just ruined it.
- I cried for three days.

Donny Blaze is going to pay for this.

Mmm. You look happy.
I guess you saw that Wong is back.

God, everybody loves Wong.

It's like giving the show
Twitter armor for a week.

- Good morning, sweetheart.
- Dad, what are you doing here?

Well, after that scare you had,
I am here to beef up security.

I've got new locks, cameras,
an alarm system and pepper spray.

- What's the shovel for?
- Digging holes.

- Let's just leave it at that.
- I don't need you to do any of this.

My daughter gets attacked by four men,
and I'm supposed to do nothing?

Your daughter's a Hulk. I'm gonna be fine.

- What did the police say?
- Oh, they said, um, police stuff.

You didn't call them?
Are you serious, Jen?

I was a prosecutor long enough to know
that they're not gonna catch these guys.

- Well, what if they come back?
- I will kick their ass again.

And you can use the shovel.

Perfect.

Hey, hey.
They're airing your interview again.

I think you should watch this time.

My client's name is Emil Blonsky.

Okay. We have got to
get you some new clothes.

There's a very limited selection
of clothing that fits my body.

Clearly.

How did you come up
with the name She-Hulk?

- You ding-dongs dubbed me that.
- Funny story, I didn't.

Ms. Walters, I have a legal situation
of the greatest importance.

Okay. Good luck with that, Jen.

Nice to see you again, Wong.
How can I help you?

I'm having an issue with a "magician."

Notice how I used the word
"magician" in quotes.

- I did, yes.
- It's because he's not an actual magician.

This charlatan goes by
the name of Donny Blaze.

He's a former student of the Mystic Arts

but he was kicked out after a week
when he summoned three kegs

and his former fraternity brother
Ky-Dog to Kamar-Taj.

He's now performing cheap human tricks

here in Los Angeles
at the "Mystic Castle."

- Notice how I...
- Not mystic. Not a castle. Got it.

Recently, Donny has been using
our sacred teachings in his shows,

sending volunteers into
other realms for casual fun.

But he barely has a grasp of the basics
of inter-dimensional portaling.

Practicing the Mystic Arts without
proper training not only endangers people,

it risks untangling the material
and astral planes.

- Completely.
- I need to make an example of Donny Blaze.

Set a precedent that no unlicensed persons

ever attempt to practice
the Mystic Arts again.

This might be pretty straightforward.

Did Mr. Blaze sign an NDA
or a non-compete?

No.

Was there a contract
when he began training?

Students pledge themselves to be
loyal servants of the Mystic Arts.

- And did you get that in writing?
- No.

Ms. Walters, we answer to a higher power

that abides by the metaphysical laws
of the time-space continuum.

Sure. But this is
the American legal system.

No judge is gonna take this seriously
unless we do things by the book.

- Oh, The Book of Vishanti.
- No, the book of American laws.

Do you want to leave
your information with me this time?

- Oh! Okay, that's very good.
- Cheap human tricks.

- Okay, done with Wong's cease and desist.
- Okay. Great.

Now your dating profile.

Onto the last bit of
the Blonsky parole brief.

Whoo-whoo!

- Did you just "whoo-whoo" a parole brief?
- Mmm-hmm.

I hated it as soon as it
came out of my mouth.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Excuse me, ladies. I hate to see
two stunning women sitting all alone.

Okay, well, there's two of us.
So by definition, not alone.

Can I buy you sexy ladies
a round of drinks?

Okay, sir, we're clearly
in the middle of work here.

When you change your mind,
I'll be at the bar.

See, that guy is exactly why I don't date.

Oh, my God.
You don't have to date that guy. Jesus.

There are plenty of non-gross people
out there for you to date.

- Show me your Matcher profile.
- No.

Jennifer. Again. Baby steps.

- There we go.
- All right.

- Quite nice, actually.
- Oh, my God.

We're not using your corporate heads hot
as your profile photo.

What's your first date gonna be? Webinar?

- This is why I didn't want to show you.
- Okay, there's no judgment.

But that was a really bad choice.

- Oh, okay.
- Oh, my God. Are you swiping?

Yes, of course.
Come on. It's a numbers game, all right?

After 500 swipes, you'll get
about a third of those as matches.

And that's when
the real filtering happens.

- Oof. Hetero life is grim.
- Nikki, you're not helping.

Yes, I am. Come on. This is good.
What if you made a profile,

hear me out, as She-Hulk?

- I thought you hated the name She-Hulk.
- I do.

I don't know. I can't stop saying it.
It's really catchy.

No. If I'm gonna date,
it's gonna be as Jen.

- All right.
- Regular old Jen.

I already have to be
She-Hulk in the office.

- She-Hulk.
- She-Hulk.

Ah. See? A match.

I do not have to be She-Hulk
to get a date.

Now give me back my phone.

You're killing me.

So, consider this an official warning
to cease all practices of the Mystic Arts.

- Absurd. You can't own magic.
- Yeah, you can't own magic.

And you can't trademark a spirit,
register a soul, copyright art.

You can copyright art. Yes.

- This is a farce.
- This is a farce.

Are you just hype-manning him?

- Maybe.
- What's the matter, Wong?

Are you scared I'll become
more mystical than you?

The Sorcerer Supreme
doesn't engage in competition,

but I am more mystical in my sleep.

- Prove it.
- Yeah, prove it.

No. No one is proving anything.

- Here is a cease and desist.
- Cease and desist?

What cease and desist?

Fantastic.

- Yeah, it's sticking out of your shirt.
- No, it isn't.

All right.
We will see you gentlemen in court.

Oh, shit.

- Ooh, someone's on Matcher.
- Ooh.

- What's Matcher?
- Hey, swipe right for a hot date.

Ew!

Got your ball.

"No, Officer. That stroller hit me."

And that's how I got a lifetime ban
from Winnipeg, Canada.

Anyway, I hate LA.
Everyone here is so phony.

See, I'm a New Yorker,
through and through.

- Oh, how long did you live there?
- Fourteen months.

But I decided I couldn't just be
a yes-man to some stiff boss, you know?

- Mmm-hmm.
- That's why I'm an entrepreneur.

- Hmm. In what field?
- TBD.

- So what do you do?
- Uh, I'm a lawyer.

I just started at a firm downtown,
GLK and H. Have you heard of it?

Yeah, I know downtown.

I'm running a superhuman law division.

- 'Cause I have superpowers.
- Okay.

- I'm a Hulk.
- Mmm-hmm.

I can lift a full-size sedan
with one hand.

Okay.

- This has been so great.
- Yeah, it really has.

All right, thank you
so much for the drinks.

Yeah. For sure.

- Hey, we should do this again.
- There's an idea.

This is Alan. She's, like a six, maybe.

Oh, my God.

Your Honor, we have filed a complaint
and a motion for preliminary injunction

against the defendant citing
unfair competition and gross negligence.

I must say, Counselor,
I am hard-pressed

to believe that a magic trick
could constitute gross negligence.

Do you have any witnesses
who can corroborate your claim?

- No, no, no, no.
- Do you want to win this or not?

Wong? Yes, we do, Your Honor.

I'm gonna show you
my high school dance routine right now.

Wongers!

Hi.

Oh, did you get a ticket for texting?

Just say you were texting 911.
They can't prosecute.

That isn't what this is
and that's not true.

I wanna ask you a few questions,
so if you come this way...

- I'd love that.
- Yeah.

- Have a seat over there.
- Okay. This is fun.

Guanyin, please give us extra mercy.

You can't bring that drink in here.

You can finish it if you want.
I'm not sick.

I promise to tell the truth.

- No, seriously.
- Could you state your name for the record?

Madisynn King. Madisynn is with two N's,
one Y, but it's not where you think.

- Could you just spell it for us?
- Absolutely, I will. For sure.

M-A-D-I-S-Y-N-N.

Could you tell us about the night you
participated in Donny Blaze's show?

Oh, sure. So, first he gave me roses
that didn't smell like anything.

- And then he pushed me into a fire land.
- That must have been terrifying.

How did you escape?

I made a pact with a demon
that I cannot discuss.

Otherwise he said he would "reap my soul
and the souls of all I love,"

which, honestly, is so dramatic.
And I hate drama.

- Okay, this was a mistake.
- It was your idea.

The demon, I think his name is Jake.

- I know Jake. Yeah.
- You do?

Opened a portal that dropped me off
at Wongers' house,

and that's how we became besties.

And how would you describe your
emotional state during this saga?

Great question.

At first it was fun.
Then scary, then fun again.

Then spooky but in a fun way.

Yeah, that's... Thank you.
Madisynn, you can sit down.

- Welcome.
- Yeah.

- Your Honor, I move to dismiss.
- Let's go.

As you can see, Donny's performance
is a fun and spooky experience,

which is the sweet spot for magic,
in my professional opinion.

The bottom line,
you cannot copyright magic.

- No.
- There is precedent.

The precedent
that you are referring to

is for card tricks
and disappearing women who never speak.

This is very different because
the Mystic Arts is, in fact, real magic.

- How dare you?
- Real magic?

Is this not real magic, Your Elegancy?

- Black.
- Ooh.

Can you believe your eyes?

Wow.

It changed color.

- More real magic?
- Oh, my God. Even the lawyer's a magician.

That is enough.

- If I may say a few words, Your Highness?
- Uh...

This case travels beyond
these courtroom walls.

The men you see are seeking
to wield the power of gods.

And that places us
on the edge of a precipice.

One man in the mortal realm has
the ability to cause a ripple so great,

it reverberates through every dimension.

And that ripple through galaxies
has the ability to destroy all life

within the known and unknown universe.

Case closed!

Okay. No. This case is far from closed.

I'll need to review the motion, and you'll
have my decision in a few weeks.

Your Honor, in the interim, could you
grant us the preliminary injunction

to stop the defendant
from engaging in this dangerous behavior?

This is my life.
My art. Mi pasion. Magic!

Stop throwing smoke bombs.

How did he get these
through security, anyway?

Aw.

I have to agree with Mr. Blaze.

He may continue to practice his livelihood
pending my decision.

Court is adjourned.

Fantastico!

Whoo!

- Real magic prevails.
- Yes. Yes.

You know, I also have a bird.

Can we send Donny to the Mirror Dimension?
He probably won't even die.

I would love that,
but that will ruin our case.

- Wongers, can we get froyo?
- No.

- We can talk about The Sopranos.
- Fine. No more spoilers.

Whatever. I was over it after
Tony killed Christopher, anyway.

Madisynn.

What? I mean, he was like
a son to him. It was so sad.

Nikki, I'm just finishing this brief.

Do you think you can proof it
for me tomorrow?

You are aware that tomorrow
is Saturday, right?

Yeah. I am totally aware
that tomorrow is Saturday.

- Uh-huh.
- Which makes tonight Friday.

Another thing I knew.

You aren't in your pajamas
already, are you?

No, I'm not already in my pajamas.

I have a big night, lots of plans due to
successful swiping. Gotta go. Bye.

Oh, why is that an alert?

I'm not proud of this.

Sweet.

Well, that is demoralizing for Jen.

- You look stunning.
- Thank you. You look very nice too.

- Hey. Can I ask you a personal question?
- Of course.

- How much can you dead lift?
- A literal ton?

Hmm.

Well, I just did 600.
I'm not even a superhero.

- Hey! Can somebody take our order?
- Okay.

My movie just premiered at Sundance.
It was actually about a lawyer.

His expertise is constitutional law,

and that is how he became
the attorney to the vice-president.

I have to admit
I was a fan before we matched.

I mean, your battle with Titania in court,
it was incredible.

Uh, people love using that word around me.

- Oh, because... Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Because of my cousin. Yeah.
- Yeah.

- So is it true? Are you indestructible?
- Oh, I don't know.

I haven't really tested it out.
I'm not looking to get myself killed.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, what about super-speed?
Night vision? Impenetrable skin?

Yeah. My skin is impenetrable,
at least with anything on Earth.

Even vibranium?

Why? Do you have some on you?
You want to test it out?

No, no, no. I wish.
God, you're just so powerful.

- What a specimen.
- Did you just call me a specimen?

As a compliment.

Is there anything worse
than dating in your 30s?

- So what's your story, buddy?
- I'm in medicine.

Oh, what's that, like,
code for selling Adderall?

I'm a pediatric oncologist.

Oh.

Can I be honest with you?

I've been on so many first dates,
and I hate talking about myself.

Tell me about you.

Oh.

Also, should we split some fries?

Yeah. Let's get those to go.

Now, I want you to close your eyes.
Concentrate very hard.

- Oh.
- Imagine you're in a faraway land.
