Tell Me You Love Me (2007): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript

Katie and Dave get a rare night alone, and make small steps towards rekindling their intimacy. Jamie's new relationship with Nick is jeopardized by the reappearance of Hugo. Palek and Carolyn change homes, but their problems continue.

KATIE:
All right, well, then
I'll just call you later.

Okay. All right, thanks.

My mom says
they're having a ball

and they wanna spend the night.

Huh. Isabella too?

Wow.

Yeah, wow.

It's bigger.

[CHUCKLES LIGHTLY]

We could do anything
we want, you know?

We could swear or smoke,



I mean if that was something
that we did.

You know, hey,
you could do your thing

in any room you want.

You know,
in complete privacy, so--

Very funny.
[LAUGHS]

We're free.
Uh-huh.

[SIGHING]

Hey.

You wanna get drunk
and go to bed together?

Wait a minute. May Foster
said we couldn't do that.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

You got your sense of humor
back.
[LAUGHS]

Huh.

I think I could
get used to this.



Yeah, me too.
[EXHALES]

What do you wanna do?

I wanna memorize every word
on the TiVo menu.

I want to read in the bathtub
and not run out of hot water.

Nice.

Enjoy.

You too.

[GRUNTS]

[INDISTINCT SPEECH IN DISTANCE]

Fuck.

Hey.

Oh, you scared the shit
out of me.

Sorry.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to see you.

I miss you.

Uh...

You can't just show up
and drop that on me.

I mean,
that's not fucking fair.

I can't stop thinking
about you.

But I thought you were detoxing
from the drug.

You know, I thought
it felt right.

It doesn't.

It feels like shit.

It feels wrong.

You were done.

I almost threw up in the fucking
school parking lot,

you were so done.

I was wrong.

What, did you have, like,

a near-death experience
or something?

Yeah.

It kinda felt like that.

[SIGHS]

[KEYS JINGLING,
LOCK CLICKING]

Look, I know it seems like it's
out of nowhere, but it's not.

I wanted
to see you sooner,

but I waited until I was sure.

I've missed you.

What?

[CHUCKLES]
What?

I'm seeing somebody.

[CRYING]

Hey--
Oh, fuck.

Hey. Hey, hey.

[WHISPERS]
Hey.

[SNIFFLING]

Hey.

[KISSING]

Hey.

Hey. How are you?

I'm fucking starving.

I have the worst PMS.
My tits are gonna explode.

I'm gonna get my period
any minute.

Me too.

No, you're not.

Did you order?
No, I've been waiting.

Um, so it looks like we got
an offer on the house.

No way.
Yeah.

Already?
Yeah, almost full price.

Wow.
Yeah.

That's great. I think.
Is it? I don't know.

Yeah. And guess
who wants to buy it.

I don't know.
Rich Guy Sean.

Oh.
I know.

Really?
He says he wants it,

but he also says he has
some things to go over, so...

Anyways.

Okay.

Okay.

Did you--? You wanna
go forward, or...?

I don't know.

It's kinda out of nowhere.

Oh.
You know what I mean?

Yeah. Well, we already
made the decision, so...

Well, you did.

Yeah, y-you agreed.

Yeah, I did.

I did.

I want a drink.
Do you see the guy?

Yeah, there's a guy somewhere.
Here, you want a sip?

Yeah, thanks.

Honey, do you want me to,
uh, Season's Pass DIY for you?

'Cause that means
it automatically...

What?

I miss it too.

I know you do.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[GRUNTS]

[MOANING, PANTING]

All right,
well...

Okay.

Yeah, yeah. We're totally
excited too, bro.

Okay.

Okay, great.
Talk to you soon.

Um...

Rich Guy Sean's
got a couple issues.

Yeah, like what?

The house is perfect.

Well...

[SIGHS]

...he wants
a short escrow.

Oh, yeah? How short?

Short.

Well, how short?

He wants to close
in 20 days.

He's going to Colorado
for the winter.

He, uh, likes to ski.

Twenty days?
That's not gonna happen.

I know,
that's what I told him.

No, you didn't.

You said,

"We're really excited too, bro."
I heard you.

I know we can't move in 20 days,
don't worry about it.

[SIGHS]

It is a good offer.

I mean, uh,
he has the money.

Looking
for a new buyer

and waiting for escrow and all
those other things, you know.

It's not gonna be easy,
and what--?

What's it gonna buy us,
a month? Two months?

An extra 45 days in this house
is gonna cost us 50 grand.

That make sense to you?
It doesn't make sense to me.

I'm not moving
in 20 days.

It's not gonna happen.

I don't know why everything's
your decision.

Everything's
not my decision.

Look, you've made some pretty
big decisions yourself lately.

Actually, to be honest,

you probably made them
a while ago, didn't you?

We tried,
it didn't work out.

But if it did,
I would have dealt with it.

But it didn't, so let's
deal with this. Okay?

Let's--
Let's move on.

Well, obviously it's easier
for you to move on.

'Cause you were barely in it.

You were done.
You told me you were done.

You know, I know
a lot of brokers.

I can find us a really nice
place just for a few months

until I find or I build us
another house.

Okay?

I can't get out of this
fucking place fast enough.

Yeah, neither can I.

How about a Jacuzzi?

KATIE: Outside?
It's heated.

No, I think a fountain
would be nicer.

You know, we could-- We could
put it far enough back

so that you and Josh could still
have room to play catch.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's true.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Mmm.

[GRUNTING]

Don't hurt your back, honey.

Ooh.

Gotta finish
the patio first.

[BEEPING]

Hi.

How you doing?

I'm good.

No, I-- I'm just, um...

I miss you.

Okay, then I'll stop
by your place later?

Okay.

Bye.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Hello?

I'm May Foster.

Hi.

Nice to me you.
I'm-- I'm Olivia.

You look a lot
like your mother.

And your father.

So sorry
about your mother.

I-- I knew her in college.
She was a wonderful woman.

Yeah, she was.

Um, my dad's
not here.

I was helping him
unpack.

He should be back
in a couple minutes.

He just ran out
to get some supplies.

Do you want anything?

A glass of water?
There's not much here.

No, thank you.

PALEK:
They didn't tell me
it was gonna be furnished.

It just became available,
it's not even listed.

Yeah, I bet it goes
really fast.

Ugh, I think I hate what you do
for a living.

No, you don't.

Yeah, I do.

I mean, we move
like once a year.

How long are we gonna
keep doing this?

I don't know, how long
are you gonna be a lawyer?

Oh, great, now I'm gonna have
wicker ass all day.

You look just like you did
the day we first met.

[LAUGHS]
Oh, John.

You-- You were wearing,
uh...

a plaid skirt.

You listen to me.
This is very important.

I never wore plaid.

[LAUGHS]

[SIGHS]

You know,
this is, um...

It's a lot to face.

A new apartment.

It's tough starting
everything new so quickly.

I-- I don't think of it
as starting new.

More like...

coming back.

I've thought a lot about us
since you called.

About what we've held on to
all these years.

And?

I think I owe a lot
in my marriage to you.

To the thought of you,
the fantasy of us.

This isn't a fantasy.

I think it's about regrets.

Living a life
that is not filled with them.

That's why I'm here.

The thought of us together again
was something that I used

to get me through the difficult
times with Arthur.

With myself.

And if you hadn't come back now,
I think I'd still be using it.

May.

Don't talk yourself
out of this.

No.

I care more for you now
than those mornings

when we couldn't bear
to leave each other.

Ironically, though,
it's the thought of us

that kept me
with a man I love.

That's a good thing.

Then why are you here?

Because I think endings
need to be treated

with as much care
and gentleness

as any other part
of a relationship.

Yeah, no, Mom, the movie
was enough, really.

Okay. All right, thanks.

Okay. I-I'll--
I'll talk you later.

Okay, bye.

Ugh. They're gonna
go to Target,

we're gonna pick 'em up
afterwards.

[GROANS]

Party's over.
I know.

I gotta take a shower.

Yeah, actually, I need
to take one too.
W--

No, you go first, I'm--
I'm not done yet.

[NAIL FILE SCRAPING]

[GRUNTING]

What?

You look-- You look good, honey.

So do you.

[NAIL FILE SCRAPING]

[SHOWER RUNNING]

Three-four.
Game winning double.

Yeah? That's great.

You wanna take a shower with me?

Uh, no.
I just took one.

All right. Just be a sec.
I'll wait.

You hungry?
Want anything to eat?

Uh, maybe.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I have to tell you something.

Okay.

[SIGHS]

Hugo came over last night.

I didn't invite him,
he just showed up.

Did you sleep with him?
Don't answer that.

Of course you did.
That's your thing, right?

Sex?

I guess you didn't keep
seeing me in your head, huh?

Look, I-I don't know
what's going on.

But you know,
I missed you.

That's why I called.
That's why I'm here.

Look, I've done the whole
fucked-up relationship thing.

I'm not gonna do it
anymore.

I'm not into it.

I don't blame you.
I-I get it.

I don't wanna lose you.

If it's gonna happen, it's gonna
happen now.

It's not gonna happen later.
I don't wanna be wrecked.

I'm not into that.

I'm not going back
to him.

Oh, Jesus. Could this go on
any longer?

They probably lock up the trophy
so no one can leave.

Aw, it's not that bad.

Well, you're the coach.
You get a plaque.

That's right, Dan. That's why I
do it. It's for the plaque.

DAN:
Really, why do you do it?

It's such a time-eater.
You know what?

I kick in for the uniforms,
I'm done.

You're done. I'm the team
administrator every year.

KATIE:
You know what I'm
gonna do?

Next year, I'll coach. We'll let
them worry

about the e-mailing, the phone
calls and the snacks.

Great.
DAN: Yeah, yeah, I'm in.

You know what, Rita? Why don't
we go get some dessert,

let these two
male bond a little more?

No, no, no, sit down, honey.
We'll get you guys dessert.

DAN: What?
Come on, Danny. Dessert.

DAN: I don't--
Yeah.

All right.
Come on.

RITA: No.
No, thank you.

MALE MC:
...up here, just come in

and stand on my left here...

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

There they go. The MILF hunter
and the celibate coach.

Rita.

It's true.

The five-pitch coach has a new
wife. Did you guys know that?

'Cause if you didn't,
I think you're slipping.

We just heard it
at the dessert table.

Oh, please. We knew that
at last week's game.

His ex-wife is sleeping with
the Cardinals' majors coach.

I knew he wasn't
having sex with his wife,

because all he talked about was
how much sex they were having.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, Dan, come with me.

I have to talk to that mom
I got in a fight with.

I need some support.
Now?

Yes. We'll be right back.

Okay.

Oh, my God.
Hm?

[CHUCKLES]

What are they trying
to prove?

KATIE:
Maybe it's that they're still
having sex?

No, they are not having sex.

KATIE:
No way.

You know how I know?

Yeah, the hand
on the small of the back.

Mm-mm. It's the way she leans
her head on his shoulder.
Mm.

You think any of these people
are doing it?

MALE MC:
Everybody, trophy ceremonies

will start
in about five minutes.

[CHUCKLES]

Not many.

Hmmm,
I think you're right.

CAROLYN:
It's okay.

Honey,
this is a great place.

Yeah, no, it is.
It's just...

You know, it's small.
Come on.

It feels like we're going
backwards.
Come on.

Hm? Hm?

I'm gonna go out
with Nate and Sean.

Sean wants to celebrate
or something.

Do you wanna go?

With that kind of invitation?
No. Thank you.

All right.

I'm gonna go check out
the bathroom.

'Cause if the bathroom doesn't
work then this is a no.

I already checked it.

[CLEARS THROAT]

So how's Mason?

She and Terrance
still together?

Yeah.

The fact that they're together
and we're not is a war crime.

How's your mom?

Annoying.

How's yours?

Brutal.

Did we get any more
wedding gifts?

No.

I think there was, like,
a mass e-mail sent out.

[SIGHS]

I don't see
why we have to do this.

I don't know why we can't
talk it out ourselves.

I don't see why we have
to do it here.

Because we would fight
and then we'd have sex.

And I don't wanna
do that.

Well, I do.

Look, I just wanna be able
to have a normal conversation.

To talk
about everything.

Okay.

Okay.

I want this relationship
back.

Jaime?

Um...

I don't know what I want.

I know that I don't wanna
make a mistake.

HUGO:
We love each other.

If we start there, there's
no way we're gonna go wrong.

Yeah, we love
each other,

but we bring out the worst
in each other.

Don't do that.

No. When?

What do you mean?

When we fight, all of it.

I mean, all of my fucking
paranoia, all of our shit.

We have a relationship.

I mean,
we know each other.

We-- We see each other.
We understand each other.

So we fight. Who cares?

I mean, the--
The point is,

we look at the world together
in the same way.

You know, at the same time,
in the same place.

I don't know too many people
who do that.

But we just
turn the volume up.

It's like our whole entire
relationship is up here.

You know, and I don't want it
to be up there anymore.

I don't think
it's good for me.

MAY:
We ask a lot of love.

All the things we don't like
in ourselves,

we expect that love
somehow will change.

Well, that's a pretty difficult
task for something so fragile.

I think our love
can handle it.

I-it's pretty amazing.

You know, we were gonna
get married for a reason.

Yeah, I panicked,
but I-- I realized it.

And that's why I'm here.

Hugo, I have to tell you
something.

When we were together,
I cheated on you.

What?

When?

When we were together.

With who?

It doesn't matter--
No, it fucking matters to me.

I'm sorry.

That's why you brought me here,
isn't it?

Fuck.

You brought me here to end it?

You're too much of a pussy
to tell me yourself?

Man, I--

I never knew. I--

I guess I never really
knew you.

You tortured me.

You fucked with me. You...

You really had me believing
that it was me.

You had me believing
that I was so fucked up

I didn't even see it.

Fuck this.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[DOOR SLAMS IN DISTANCE]

[SNIFFLES]

[SIGHS]

It's hard when someone you love
that much walks out the door.

[RUSTLING]

Looks smaller.

It just looks empty.

[GIGGLING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH MOANING]

Babe.

Oh, babe.

I love you.

[DOOR CLOSES]

MAY:
How are you?

Great.

What's for dinner?

Uh, veggies over brown rice
with a hot curry sauce.

Great.

How was John?

How was it?

He's not the man
I remember.

Good.

I love you.

Yeah.

Yes, I'm married.

I'm married and bored
out of my fucking mind.

You ever go to dinner
with 600 adults...
[LAUGHS]

What are you watching?

...talking about
Diaper Genies

and hair coloring.

"You know, if you leave it in
too long it stings.

Shut the fuck up.

A bunch of men talking about...
He forgot minivans.

...routes to work.
Yup. And decals.

"Sometimes I take the highway,
but if it's backed up..."

Mom.
Honey, what's wrong?

I close my eyes
but I don't go to sleep.

Keep practicing, buddy.
Sooner or later you'll score.

KATIE: Josh, you know what?
[PHONE RINGING]

I spent half an hour
in your room.

You have to go to bed now,
okay?

I can't keep coming back there.
A call at this hour.

[PHONE BEEPS]

Hello?

Jeff?

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Okay, try-- Try to--
Try to calm down.

Jeff, you got-- You gotta
take it slow. Okay--

She what?

Uh, all right, all right.

Uh, sure, yeah.

Let me-- Let me throw on
some clothes and I'll--

I'll meet you there.

What's wrong?

I don't really know.

Jeff was, I think...

crying.

Sandy left him.

Who's Sandy?

The girl
he's been dating.

Jesus, he wants me
to meet him.
Now?

I know. I don't know
why he called me.

I mean,
I barely know the guy.

Well, you gonna go?

Well, I think I should.
He's really upset.

All right, well, I'm gonna
put Josh to bed. Okay.

Bye. Be careful.
I will.

Come on, sweets.
Goodnight, buddy.

JOSH:
Goodnight.

Dude,
the house is great.

It's-- It's great.
Yeah, I know.

You guys seemed
pretty happy in it.

I, uh-- Just wondering why you
sold it to me.

I'm glad, but why?

You're paying so much more
than it's worth.

How am I supposed
to turn that down?

[LAUGHS]
Hilarious.

No, it's just time
for a change, you know?

I don't know. Hm.

NATE:
Well, just tell him the truth.

You guys are ready
to have kids,

and that house
is no place for kids.

I'm not having kids ever.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Well, that's why I go over
to Nate's house.

Keeps me right
on track. It's a zoo.

[LAUGHS]

God, I miss that.

You ever miss that?

[PHONE DIALLING]

CAROLYN: Hey.
Hi.

You found it.
Yes.

Well...

what I am, like, the global
nurse for fucked-up people?

All I do is go around
liquoring people up

for depressing moments
in their lives.

I know.
I just have the worst PMS.

I had to get
out of the house.

You know,
it's weird,

it's like
I never even lived there.

I so don't wanna
go back.

Yeah, you know what?
Fuck it, let's drink.

Jesus,
Palek's out drinking.

Hell yeah.

Look at that,
I have a glass.

Do I have any more?

I just always assumed
I would be pregnant

the minute I decided
I wanted to be.

You know, after the first couple
of months I was like, okay,

no big deal.

Then the sixth and the seventh
month dragged by,

and I was like, "Whoa."

And then we
started therapy.

Actually it was Palek
who wanted to start.

Now I think that was 'cause he
had his own issues to work out.

At the time he said it was
'cause of me, but whatever.

So, like, now,
in the space of a week,

we sold our house,
we're not having kids,

uh, we moved into this place,
which I've been in like once,

and honestly, I don't even know
what's gonna happen next.

The minute we stopped trying,
everything went to shit.

You were having sex, and she got
up in the middle of it and left?

She said
I was disgusting.

Oh, man. That, um--

Well, that's rough.
That's...

So that was it? That--?
That--? That's all she said?

Isn't that enough?

Anyway,
that's all I remember.

Who could remember--? Who could
remember anything after that?

Yeah, yeah.
I'm-- I'm sorry. That's...

[SIGHS]

So, um-- So how--?

How long was it?

Uh, three months,
four?

Is she right?

What?

Am I that disgusting?

No. N-- No. No.

I'm 44.

I'm divorced.

I had a kid.

Shit.

It's not that bad.

Fuck you.

[SIGHS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTING]

Bed.

[MOANS]

Hey, hon.

[SIGHS]

I've been sleeping better
lately.

I'm glad, honey.

I like it when you sleep.

It makes me feel
like everything's okay.

I'm in love with you.

Dave.
I am.

I don't know what the hell's
happening with us,

but I know that.

Come here.

[GRUNTS]

[SIGHS]

[WHISPERS]
Dave.

Yeah.

Before,

when we used to have sex...

Yeah?

I wouldn't always come.

Really?

Always?
No. No, sometimes.

Not always, but...

Sometimes you would...

Yeah, and sometimes I wouldn't,
that's all. Just...

Was it me?

No.

No.

No.

It wasn't you.

Okay.

[SIGHS]

So...

we'll fix it.

Okay?

[SIGHS]

Maybe that Foster
is on to something.

Maybe.

PALEK [OVER PHONE]:
You've reached
the answering machine

of Carolyn and Palek Stenton.

We're not in right now--

[PHONE DIALLING]

[PHONE RINGING]

CAROLYN: Hey.
Hi, where are you?

I'm at the new place
with Mason.

Really, I-- I didn't know
you were doing that.

No, I didn't either.

Huh, well, when are you
going home?

I'm on my way.

Okay, great.

[CLICK]

[PHONE BEEPS]

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER TV]

[TV SHUTS OFF]

Hey.

Goodnight.

[SIGHS]

Babe, babe,
I just wanna sleep.

Oh, babe, I-- I'm just tired.
Come on. Come on.

We should go to sleep,
baby.

Seriously, I do.
I just wanna sleep.

I'm tired.

I miss you.
I'm having sex with you.

Um, Palek, I'm tired.

I know.

No, but seriously, babe.
I'm really tired.

No.

Excuse me.

Oh, come on.

I fucked you on demand
for a year.

Do you remember that?
Whether I wanted to or not.

Yeah, I remember that.

Okay, well, then,
so now I want it and you don't,

but you're not willing
to do what I did.

Is that the--?
Is that the deal now?

I thought it was something
we both wanted.

I hadn't realized
it was just me.

I guess
this is to much to ask,

to wanna fuck your wife
just to fuck her.

Not to get her pregnant,
but just to have sex.

Oh, God,
I don't want to.

Okay.

Jesus, you need it so badly,
go jerk off.

[CHATTERING]

[BOTH SIGH]

[EXHALES]

I have to move again.

When Anya moved out she got
the landlord on her side,

now he hates me.

[CHUCKLES]
It's ridiculous.

I was in the other place before
this one for eight months.

And now I'm--
I'm moving again.

Maybe you should stop moving in
with your girlfriends.

Well, I like being
in a relationship.

I mean, it's good to be
with someone, you know?

I like it.

Me too.

Of course, I'm too fucked up
to be in one,

but I'd like to be.

I'm not going back to him.

Why should I believe you?

And how do I know
he's not coming back?

Because he's not.

He's not.

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

Why does it feel like I should
just walk away right now?

And why does it feel like that's
exactly what I should do?

I don't know
how to convince you.

Let's get outta here.

You got it.

Hi.
Hey.

How are you?

Good.

How are your suits,
do you like them?

I love them.
Oh, good.

So, uh,
what are you looking for?

Anything I can do for you?

Yeah, I'm just looking
for something new.

Okay.

You know, I'm always wearing the
same stuff over and over again.

It's kinda...
Okay, well, um...

Jeans? Sweaters?
Shirts? Socks?

What should
we start with?

I don't know.
You tell me.

Sweaters.
Sweaters. Great.

Yeah.
