The Freak Brothers (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - The Expendables - full transcript

When the guys need money for rent, they go to work as astronauts.

What a hellacious day.

I mean, I just... I can't
wait to get in my house

and just relax.
I'll talk to you later.

And
your secret ingredient is...

- Fennel!
- Ooh.

Evening.

Could you please cover your balls? Ugh.

Yes, ma'am. Ten gallon
hat for a ten gallon.

Oh, God. That's it!
House meeting! Now!

I've had it! I'm sick of coming home

to a dirty house, empty fridge,



and your bare asses on
my custom crafted furniture.

If laying bare buttocked
on an ult-tree suede couch

is a sin, then drag me to hell.

And who has been
ordering hundreds of dollars

of stuff on Amazon?

Oh! A Kitty Condo.

Oh! New James Patterson
book. I'm getting right into this.

I think what Harper
is trying to say is that

while you three do contribute
a certain repartee and, uh...

- Wisdom?
- Odor.

We think it's time you start
pulling your weight a bit more

- in the, um, financial sphere...
- Get fucking jobs!

- Whoo!
- Whoo!

Is that some sort of a metaphor?



Yes, a metaphor for "Pay rent or get out."

And you guys still owe me ten bucks.

Will you take a personal cheque?

Gimme back my check book!

Season 01 Episode 03

Episode Title: "The Expendabless"
Aired on: November 28, 2021.

Getting a job wouldn't be the worst thing.

No, no, no! This is how it starts.

You get a job, and
then you're paying taxes.

Then before you know
it, you're goose stepping

at a torchlit rally in Nuremberg.

And after you know it,
you're stepping in goose poop.

I'm not judging you for your life choices.

I don't judge anything,
anywhere, for any reason.

Well, this might be an opportune time

to talk to you about my venereal history.

But there is something to
be said for self-sufficiency.

It's a very attractive quality.

Attractive quality.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Freddy, what the fuck are
they talking about?

Goose poop. Goose poop.

Can you explain this

fifty-year gap in your work history?

Yes. We were sleeping.

What he means is we
were exploring our options.

It was what the kids call a gap year.

Gap. G-A-P.

Stands for "Ganja and Prostitutes."

A.K.A. smokin' and fuckin'.

To be honest, I could give
a rat's ass about this gig.

But don't tell the manager
when he gets here.

I am the manager.

- Yeah, a lady is the manager.
- And I'm a trumpet!

Get out.

♪ Hi ho, hi ho ♪

♪ It's off to work We don't go ♪

Work shmerk! Not
everyone should have a job.

You know who liked universal employment?

Mao Zedong and Joe Stalin.

No. We're not giving up.

There is one place even your anarchist ass

wouldn't mind working.

So, we'd really love a
job. It seems like a great fit.

Listen, Frank.
Can I call you Frank?

- You came to the right place.
- You guys working here with us?

Ah, yes, please! That'd be so tight!

- My pants are tight!
- Seriously, dude,

all you do is just like talk weed all day

and you get a great discount.

See, Phineas? Doesn't sound so bad.

Cool. Yeah, just gotta be here
every morning at 9:00 am sharp.

- Mm-hmm.
- And you have to sweep up

at the end of your shift.

Oh! But you get to keep
any coins you find in the dirt.

I found 47 cents once!

At least we get to
smoke pot for eight hours.

Oh, no. No, you actually, you
can't smoke on the premises.

- State law.
- Well, that's understandable,

I guess. I mean a pharmacist

can't pop ludes all day,
am I right?

- I mean they probably could...
- Hey, chuck.

Who would you say means
the most to you in the world?

- My mom, definitely.
- Your mom's a whore.

Fuck you!

Whoa, dude, what the heck, Phineas?

Very unchill.

You guys are officially persona non grata.

Great! When do we start?

Well, thanks. You saved us

from the evil capitalists again, Phineas.

You're welcome.

Nah, nah, nah. See, see,

if the bag got a picture of a cat on it,

it belongs to me.

If it's got a picture of a
big fat motherfucker on it,

that's all you.

Man, Gretchen's gonna
think we're a bunch of

shit kickin' losers.

Stupid fuckin' Kitty Condo.

Hey! You seein' this?

Better get your boy under control

or we're gonna have a problem.

Kitty!

Waiting on my shipment is how I am.

Where the hell's my Howdy
Doody squeeze toy at?

I love that creepy, little,
freckle face cowboy.

I'll look into it.

I got 99 problems, and closing in

on a trillion dollars net
worth ain't one.

You losing Prime customers, JB?

Losing Primers? Jesus,
no! Don't even say that.

Then what's the trouble, Hubble?

You got the bling, you
got the new señorita.

You're on top of the world, baby.

I'm not worried about this world.

I've got this bet with Elon Musk.

First guy to put a man on Mars, wins.

I hear that. Uh, what's Mars?

I have the rocket.
Problem is the astronauts.

I'm trying to cut red tape, like, "safety"

and "redundant life support systems."

When you say, astronauts
how many do you need?

- Anywhere from two to four...
- Three?

Yeah, three. But, you know, real schmucks

who won't be missed.

Oh.

- Get the door, you mope.
- I'll get it.

Hello. I'm Jeff Bezos from Amazon.

Amazon? You got our goldfish crackers?

I heard you gentlemen might be
in need of a job.

- Yeah, but...
- No!

How would you like to be astronauts?

Astronauts? Hot damn! We're in!

Yeah, we're in.

I think I've found my
shmucks... Uh, astronauts.

Men, men.

I'm Mrs. Maisel, star of
Amazon's award-winning series

about a female comedian in the '50s.

Here's a joke.

"How do you stop a Jewish
woman from having sex?

Marry her!

Now it's time to train
for your trip to Mars.

This is too cool for school.

I'm gonna be a daggum space man!

Franklin, you dumb country bumpkin.

Space travel is a hoax.

Moon landing was shot on a sound stage

in Walt Disney's basement.

Wait 'til Gretchen sees
you in your space suit!

She'll get a boner.

They're perfect.

Don't they seem a bit limited?

No. "Limited," Jeffrey Tambor,

is the number of options you have

after air-humping half
the cast of Transparent.

- That was never proven!
- It was worse than "proven."

It was alleged! Bottom line,

I got you under contract
for two more years.

You wear the dress, you wear the wig,

- you do what I say.
- Yes, milord.

Stop improvising! And
wipe that lipstick off,

you look like a whore.

- Wow.
- Go on. Open it.

Oh. Uh.

A sixty-four pack of toilet paper.

That is so thoughtful.

Go on try it out. It's the good stuff!

We won't need it where we're going.

So, what exactly are you working men doing?

It's top secret.

But Amazon's involved
if you catch my drift.

So, you're working in the warehouse?

Heck, no.

Suffice it to say, this will
be the most important job

we have ever done.

It's the only job you've ever done.

They said not to say
nothin', so I'll spell it.

We're going to M-A-R-Z.

That's it, cat's outta the bag,

we're astronauts, and we're blastin' off

to Mars tomorrow!

How's that for self-sufficient?

How's that for self-delusional?

There is no space program.

It's all a hoax... Ow! Ow! You fuck!

Don't you need training to be an astronaut?

Astronauts. Yeah, right.

Uh, damn, I got a hangnail.

Oh, we received loads of training!

Diversity, sexual harassment...

I learned you gotta tell a woman

before you touch her bur-jine-urr.

Well, whatever it is you're doing,

- I'm very proud.
- Yes.

You got jobs, whatever they are.

That is the important thing.

Pardon me for offering my two cents,

but do you feel no compunction

about sending these
picaroons to a likely demise?

I got the most powerful
man in the world sending me

the best squeezy toy ever made,
that's Howdy Doody by the way,

direct to my door. Do I
look compuncted to you?

Pretty impressive, huh, A-lon?

You haven't won the bet yet, B-zos.

Your guys still gotta make it there.

Where'd you find them anyway?

Oh, I got this friend who's a
cat who found them for me.

You have a friend? What's that like?

Tape!

- Well, hello there, pretty lady.
- I hate my life.

Wow, they went all out on this set.

This fake Mars mission is gonna give

that fake moon landing a run for its money.

Right, Phineas. All this stuff is fake.

So, so fake.

Styrofoam and, uh, dry ice?

And forty million newtons
of thrust!

First men on Mars.

We're gonna get a hell of a parade.

Now, they're pumping rocket
fuel scented air freshener in here.

Nice touch, Bezos!

Someone call out things
I can say “check” to!

Sure thing, fellow astronauts! Seat belts.

Check! That's everything.

- Three, two, one, launch!
- No, wait!

Whoa! Holy
shit! We're going to space!

Space Cowboy. Yee-haw!

Eject button! Can't move hand!

Get away from button.

- Stop.
- Get away!

- No!
- Nope!

Don't need seatbelt! Big boy.

No!

Wanna pay me what you owe me now?

- One dollar.
- No way, mutha-fucka.

You still have to stick the landing.

Now, if you'll excuse
me, my hyperloop awaits.

Mrs. Bezos, nice meeting you.

You gave up half your empire for this?

No! No! No! Come back! Are
you fucking crazy, Phineas?

- We were going to Mars!
- Exactly! We were going to Mars!

I don't even like leaving the house!

I was gonna come home a hero!

Be on the cover of Life Magazine.

More like the cover of Dead Guy Magazine.

Every time somethin' good comes my way,

you take the wheel
and drive us into a ditch.

You got something to say?

- Say it!
- I hate you,

and you always find a way to ruin my life.

Stop talking in metaphors.

I can't have a conversation with this guy!

People of Mars.

I bring you greetings from Planet Earth.

goddammit!

Whose idea was it to have
a functioning ejection button?

Hey, now! Don't look at
me. Shall I release the dollar?

Never!

Musk doesn't know they
ejected, and he never will.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

- What are you thinking?
- That I get to star

in a show where I don't have
to wear grandma panties?

Yeah. That's what America's waiting for.

You know how we digitally removed you

from all past seasons of Transparent?

What? You did?

We'll use the same CGI technology

to place the Freaks in the capsule

and show them landing on Mars.

But what about the actual Freaks?

Oh, we'll kill them. Activate the asset.

Activating asset.

The rocket was real, okay?

I was wrong about that.
But we're not real astronauts.

Why would they send us?

Doesn't something feel off to you?

Yeah.
Something feels off!

We're in the middle of the desert

when we should be on our way to Mars!

Guys, don't fight in front of the Martians.

I don't know why I ever
do anything you say.

- You always let us down.
- Wait a minute!

When have I ever, ever let us down?

Oh, let's see here. Oh, here we go.

Putting us to sleep for fifty years.

Burning my draft card.
Which was still in my wallet.

Which was still in my pants.
Which was still on my body!

Better than going to Vietnam, wasn't it?

Telling me college was a conspiracy

of the education complex.

Condoms were a conspiracy
of the latex complex.

Jobs were a conspiracy of
the employment complex...

and finally, making us leave our apartment

because it was a conspiracy
of the apartment complex!

- Where are you going?
- Back to Amazon!

I'm gettin' on the next rocket to Mars.

If they'll still have me.

You can't just go.

- What about Freddy?
- He's a grown man.

He can take care of himself.

Captain's log, I have
made contact with Martians.

- They do not like to be hugged.
- Go! Who needs ya?

Just be careful where you walk!

The desert's a playground for the CIA!

Filled with trip wires, and coyote people!

Yes, Kitty. All good.

They're on their way to the red planet.

Thanks again for the referral.

That's five percent off your next order.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, the number I'm most
concerned with is “three.”

That's three days in a
row I've gone outside

and not seen Howdy Doody on my doorstep.

Xiawu hao,
Amazon. Xi xi. Prime member?

Smell ya later, Kitty!

Customer in Tai Pei got the wrong mattress.

Meow, meow, meow.

JB? We had a deal man!

Hello? Oh, he did not just hang up on me.

I'm worried about Franklin.

- Do you think he's in danger?
- Of course, he's in danger.

We're all in danger.

I just haven't cracked what's going on yet.

But I feel like I'm
gettin' close.

What the fuck was that?

It feels like somebody's
trying to send us a message.

Maybe they want us to learn piano!

A ride home!

Jeff Bezos says, hello.

Ha! I told you there were tripwires

in this desert!

So, I was right! Wait!

That guy said, “Jeff Bezos says, hello.”

So, that means, Hang on, I almost got it.

Jeff Bezos is trying to kill us!

Franklin!

Thank God! Hey! Hey, it's me!

Hello? Hello?

Mr. Bezos? It's me.

Freewheelin' Franklin Freek.

I'm sorry that idiot Phineas
screwed up your space launch!

We... we were sort of like brothers,

which is why I listened to him.
But we're not brothers anymore!

Hello?

What the heck?

Where am I?

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

from her Amazon Original
Series, the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel!

Hey now!

Thank you!

Oh, can someone turn down these lights?

I'm shvitzing like a
moyel with Parkinson's!

I gotta get back on a rocket,

so I can go up to Mars,
and then come back a hero.

Come back?
That was a one-way trip.

You were never coming back, darling.

Oh, my God. I'm such an idiot.

One last joke before I kill you!

How do you stop an empowered woman

with the juiciest brisket in Manhattan,

and a forty-five pointed at your heart?

With a one-ton pallet of Fiji water,
that's how!

On special for Prime Members!

I know I always say you screw up my life,

which you do. But you just saved it.

- So, I guess I owe you...
- An apology?

I was gonna say a beer and a burger, but

if it's an apology you want,
well, hey, that's a lot cheaper.

I know sometimes I can
sound a bit overly accurate

which people might interpret as crazy!

- But I'm gonna work on it.
- Hey, you are crazy.

Crazy as a menstruatin' armadilla.

- But, uh, hey, thanks brother.
- All right. Let's get out here.

- Freddy?
- Just a second!

Oh, perfect!

Ah, shit. How are we gonna get home, now?

How about those?

Good to be back on planet Earth.

What the hell are you doing here?

It's a long story. It all
started back in 1969.

Here, I got you something from Mars.

Ooh!

You fat, beautiful son of bitch.

Unlocking doors. Hello, father.

If you wanna build a
trillion-dollar company,

or kill someone, you gotta do it yourself.

- Jeffrey?
- I'm sorry, I'm under contract.

- Meow?
- Hello, Kitty.

You'll probably want to stand on this side

- of Mademoiselle Tambor.
- JB,

I ain't gonna let you do this.

Call off your wife, or I'm canceling Prime.

No! You can't cancel Prime.
Nobody cancels Prime.

My whole empire is primed
on the primacy of Prime!

Don't do the crime if
you can't lose the Prime.

You're really going to give it all up?

The treats? The scratching post? For what?

These... these Freaks?

He delivered.

You didn't.

Got you there, boss. Hey now!

You're a worthy adversary, Kitty.

Meow, meow, meow, meow,
meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.

Phew!

- Kitty, you saved us.
- What else is new, bitches?

Oh, that feels good. Yeah, behind the ears.

Now lower. Ooh! To the left.

I think we all learned a
little something here today.

Something every school
child should take to heart.

Nothing good ever comes from having a job.

Jobs bad!

Hey, why aren't you guys at work?

Oh, great, let me guess.

If you guess that we're home
early because we ejected

from a rocket ship, you guessed right.

Well, the deal hasn't changed.

If you want to keep living
here, you have to get a job.

You don't understand we... You're right.

We'll start looking for a new gig tomorrow.

And now that you have
"astronaut" on your resumés,

I'm sure something will open up.

Oh, Kitty! You gotta stop
playing with my laser pointer.

I hate my life.

I'm gonna get those Freak Brothers.

And their little Kitty too!
