Son of a Critch (2022–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Episode #2.1 - full transcript
Adult mark: In the
summer of 1987,
I became a working man.
My brother had always
mowed the lawn at vocm.
But now that he was leaving
the nest for university,
It fell to me to keep the
grass at an even two inches.
The only problem was,
I was deathly allergic.
And very, very weak.
Adult mark: For the
first time in my life,
I wanted summer to end.
I had played my cards
close to my wheezing chest.
Summer had separated me
from my school crush,
And the drama made me
feel like I was living
In one of the old
movies that I loved.
Fox: I'm coming with
you to your weird house.
Mark: No.
You're getting on that
bus, where you belong.
You'll be alone
all summer, nerd!
You're saying this
only to make me go.
I'm saying it because it's true.
If that bus leaves to
school and you're not on it,
You'll regret it. Fox: No.
Mark: Maybe not today, maybe
not tomorrow, but soon,
And for the rest of your life.
Fox: But what about us?
We'll always have recess.
I guess.
See on the bus, dumbass.
Mark: No...
No...
No!
Nooo!
Dick: No, boy!
Nooo!
♪
Mark: Oh, no.
Oh, no!
Mark: Pop! Gross!
Pop: A sink is a sink.
Your father is
still on the toilet!
Mark: So? Wait your turn!
Pop: Are you mad?
Do you know how
many people I know
Who have lost their teeth?
Gumming their food
with smiles like ducks.
You know, I'm the
only one from my class
That can actually eat
an apple without glue.
I've got teeth like a zipper!
Mary: Here.
Put your teeth to use.
You're up early.
Nobody in this house has
ever wanted to go to school.
And you smell... Nice.
yeah, um...
Two squirts of
mike's drakar noir.
Mary: Oh! Mark: Too much?
Just enough.
Pop: Smells like puberty to me.
Mark: Pop! Pop:
Well, it's true.
I mean, you're
becoming a man now!
Sudden interest in girls,
hair popping up everywhere,
A set of permanent teeth...
Mary: Well, he still
has one baby tooth,
So he's still my baby!
Mike sr: Mary?
Can you help me with my tie?
One of my babies.
Adult mark: While I had
shamed my old man at work...
Mike jr: I'm home!
Adult mark: My brother
filled him with pride.
By working at the radio station
To help pay for university,
He was rebelling by
slowly becoming my father.
Hi. Bye.
Mike sr: How was
your day at work?
Oh, you mean "night"?
Yeah, I'm friggin' wiped, but...
Finally getting the
hang of the board.
So, you think maybe I could come
in for a day shift sometime?
Even hop on air? 'cause
I think I could...
You've got bigger fish
to fry than radio.
The first critch to
go to university.
Mary: Oh, that university
still hasn't cashed
That tuition cheque!
I wish they'd hurry up and get
the money out of the account.
I'm terrified to buy anything!
Mike jr: Ah, I wouldn't
worry too much about that.
Alright, I'm heading to bed.
Pop: Make sure you
brush your teeth first!
You remember len
marshall, right?
It turns out he's
got false teeth.
I mean, I never knew this, but
it came out in conversation.
No, and literally came
out, the dentures...
Flew out onto the table!
Turns out they belong
to his dead wife.
But he's such a cheapskate
that he wouldn't get a new set.
Her jaw was bigger than his.
She had a head like a melon.
Mike jr: Night,
pop. Pop: Morning.
Mark: Right, I'm off.
Don't want to miss my bus!
See ya!
Ah, gawd.
Puberty.
Adult mark: No fox.
But her brothers were there.
New year, same dork.
Where's fox?
Silver fox: Aww, you hear that?
Little nerd wants to
know where our sister is.
Middle fox: Our sister's
too hot for you!
Mark: You think your
own sister's hot?
Silver fox: Yeah...
What the hell, man?
Middle fox: What? No, gross!
Silver fox: Wait...
You don't know!
Adult mark: For the first
time in their lives,
The fox brothers knew something
that someone else didn't.
Mark: What?
What is it? Where is she?
Middle fox: He don't even
know she got a boyfriend,
And we're not gonna tell him!
What?
Adult mark: A boyfriend?
I'd been listening
to a mixtape of lies.
Unless they were the
ones lying to me.
Silver fox: I wants the
window! Middle fox: I wants it!
middle fox: Ah!
Adult mark: But chances
were, the fox brothers
Weren't smart enough for that.
Middle fox: Awww,
b'y! My head!

♪
Ow!
Middle fox: Stop staring
at my sister's desk, perv.
Adult mark: While his
sister had outgrown me,
Her brother had devolved,
Repeating the grade
for the second time.
Just pick on someone
your own size.
Oh, that's right.
Everyone your size
is in high school.
Just 'cause I failed again
Don't make you the
same age as me.
Attention, students.
I have some...
Unsettling news.
I know that many of you
expected that sister margaret
Would be your teacher this year.
I am sorry to be the
one to tell you this,
But sister margaret is dead.
Mark: But... How?
Sister rose: Metaphorically.
She was "killed" by your
new teacher, ms. Fowler.
Come in!
Get it over with.
Hello, children.
Sister?
Sister rose: I told you!
Sister margaret is gone.
And in her place we have...
Ms. Fowler.
Oh, yes, mark?
What is happening?
Well, over the summer...
Sister rose: Ms. Fowler
renounced her vows.
Vows of poverty,
obedience, and...
Chastity.
"for a spirit of harlotry
has led them astray.
"and they have
played the harlot,
"departing from their
vows." hosea 4:12.
Fox: You dumped god?
Wicked!
Sister rose: Yes, child. It
is most certainly wicked!
Fox: Wicked means good, sister.
Mark: What's so
"good" about this?
You can't just love god in June
And love somebody
else in September!
Ms. Fowler: Well,
I'm not in love...
Fox: Shut up!
Maybe she just got lonely.
Mark: Well, maybe god at
least deserved a phone call!
I... I mean, a prayer.
Sister rose: See
what you have done?
If it were up to me, I'd
cast you from the faculty
Like lucifer from heaven!
Ms. Fowler: Uh, for the
record, I still love jesus,
Just not in...
That way.
Take out your
scribblers, children.
Adult mark: As fox had
blossomed into womanhood,
Sister margaret had
gone from nun to fun.
Even a nun hit
puberty before I did.
Mike jr: Mom! What the hell?
Mary: Rise and shine,
professor pants-on-fire.
I called the school.
I... I was gonna tell you.
I swear. I-I tried, but...
Dad.
Mary: You're gonna
break his heart.
Mike jr: I thought I wanted
to leave, and then...
I started working at
the station, and...
I like it. Like, a lot.
Mary: You entitled
little arsehole!
Why should you be the
only one in the family
Who gets to do what he likes?
Mike jr: Mom! For the
first time in my life,
I feel like I'm...
Good at something!
Please?
I've never felt this way
about anything before.
You think you could at
least give me a chance?
You're gonna have to be the
one to tell your father.
Because if you're gonna be
running around his back,
You're gonna have to
do it to his face.
What ya doing?
Pop: Len marshall died.
Mark: The guy with
his wife's teeth?
Yes, how did you know?
Mark: Well, you told
me this morning.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Pop: Ah...
He was my last living
childhood friend.
That's it!
I'm an endangered species now.
If you liked him so
much, then why are you
Cutting him out of
all your pictures?
Pop: Because I can't
stand to see dead eyes
Staring at me from the walls.
When somebody dies,
they're dead to me.
Full stop.
Do you want me to go to
the funeral with you?
Pop: No, I'm not
going. Mark: Why not?
Pop: Well, he's not
coming to mine, is he?
Mark: Hm. Pop: Funny.
Best friends never get to
go to each other's funeral.
Adult mark: Pop acted
like he was letting go,
But his friend's
death had left a hole
Bigger than even he could cut.
Mark: Pop? Pop: Mm-hm?
Mark: What's the worst part
of losing someone you love...
Like?
There's a difference, you know,
Between telling a
story and sharing one.
Now, I could tell you about
the time that me and len
Stole apples from a
barrel when we were kids.
But if len was here,
He'd probably argue, "nah,
they're weren't apples,
"they were oranges," you know?
There's just...
No one to reminisce with.
They're not memories.
They're just ghost stories now.
You could make new memories.
Change doesn't
have to be the end.
Not all your friends are gone.
you're right.

Stop staring at her.
Mark: I-I wasn't. I'm not.

There's a difference, you know,
Between telling a
story and sharing one.
Now, I could tell you about
the time that me and len
Stole apples from a
barrel when we were kids.
But if len was here,
He'd probably argue, "nah,
they're weren't apples,
"they were oranges," you know?
There's just...
No one to reminisce with.
They're not memories.
They're just ghost stories now.
You could make new memories.
Change doesn't
have to be the end.
Not all your friends are gone.
you're right.
Onwards.
