The Girlfriend Experience (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Crossing the Line - full transcript

Are you on the pill?

Yes...

But I'd like to use a condom.

You got lazy and lost XHP.

Let me fix this.

How?

Trust me.

This is how things move.

Don't lecture me on how things move!

We're doing everything we can!

What were you gonna do?



I don't wanna bring you into this.

Do you come to town often or...?

No, not very often.

Although that could change.

Why is that?

Because of you.

Did you cum?

Sorry.

Are you okay?

Well...

What's going on?

Here, come sit down.

I make...

okay money,



but...

probably not as much
as your other clients.

I'm having a hard time to come up

with money to see you.

I've started to taking out loans...

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to make you uncomfortable,

but it would tear me up

if I could not see you again.

Okay...

um, why don't we maybe
try seeing each other

a little bit less?

Can you lower...

your rate a little bit?

I'm in love with you.

Kevin...

You're putting me in a very
uncomfortable position.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Um...

What if I take some time and
figure out some kind of, um,

an arrangement that...

works for both of us,

and-and keeps us together?

Really?

Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

You are amazing.

You're amazing.

- Hi!
- Hi.

- How you doing, teeny?
- Good.

Yeah?

How was your trip?

It was good.

I just got off the phone with Mom.

She gave me this massive guilt
trip about getting to see you.

She can come visit.

Yeah, I know, but maybe
you can call her?

I call her all the time.

I don't believe you. You're
being too defensive.

Shit, I smell.

...And then we broke into
groups and we talked about

our fears and our goals...

And then you fell into
each other's arms,

and did trust exercises
with all the DAs.

Okay, well we didn't
do-we didn't do that,

we didn't fall into each other's arms.

- But you did trust exercises?
- Yes!

It-you're making it sound way
cheesier than it actually is.

- It's very good for communication in my department.
- Is this the same, um,

retreat the DAs went on last year

where they went zip-lining?

No, it's not.

But that was also very fun,
and very helpful for us.

Right, I can see how that's helpful.

You realize your guys' job
is to put people in prison?

Yeah, our job is to put
bad people in prison.

Yeah, I remember feeling
like it was a formality

at a certain point.

Yeah, I'm definitely
learning more in the firm

than in class or studying.

- I know, you'll get there.
- I know.

I know you know. You're so defensive.

So, are you still dating Jake?

- I was never dating Jake.
- Of course you were dating Jake.

I wasn't saying that
he was your boyfriend.

I just found him to be too available.

I just don't enjoy spending time
with people, I find it to be...

a waste of time, and
it makes me anxious.

Well, maybe you just didn't like Jake.

No, I just don't like
sharing my time with anyone

unless something's being accomplished.

You're really selfish.

Hey, you're fine.

Thanks.

No wait, I'm-I'm sorry, I
understand, I-I get it...

You value your time.

Exactly.

Well, speaking of, uh,

I was going to stay the weekend.

Um, I don't know what
you have planned, um,

but I'd love to hang out with you.

It's okay.

I know I just sprung that on you.

I'm just slammed. I wouldn't
even be around but...

Yeah, that's fine, it's fine.

Seriously, I-I understand
how second-year law is.

You don't have to explain it to me.

- No, I got it.
- You sure?

I got it, yeah.

Who else am I going to spend
my massive salary on?

No, I'm listening to you.

Yeah...

No, I'm happy for you, no-

She hung up.

Can you believe it? She hung up on me.

Maybe the phone lost reception.

No, she wants to do another
real estate venture.

- How many has she done already?
- You know, well...

This time it's condos in San Diego.

I don't know what to say.

...We don't talk anymore.
I never talk to her.

The only time I talk to her
is when she wants money.

It's all my fault.

'Cause I shoulda...

I shoulda established no!

- I shoulda told her no.
- What's no?

I bet you were a handful for your daddy.

- Still are probably.
- No...

- Huh?
- No, we, we get along really well.

- I miss you.
- I miss you, too.

What I should do is I should
just stay here with you.

I'd love that.

Well, I'd be happy.

...Really?

You have to do it to her...

Hey.

Get them to sign on the
line which is dotted.

It's a given...

I know he's stalling, but
it's gonna be a given.

Get them to sign...

- ...on the line-
- ...on the line which is dotted.

Holy shit!

Speak of the devil.

Excuse me.

Ohhhh...

Hey.

Oh, hi...

I got this for you.

- That was very thoughtful, Christine.
- Not really.

Just opened it.

C'mon, drink up. That's
what we're here for.

I didn't expect to see you.

I thought it'd be good idea
to show my face, you know...

Clear the water.

Did you two come together?

Ahhh...

You're Wright...

Emery Wright, you rep XHP.

I'm David's intern, it's my job to know.

Oh okay, well, I'm flattered
that you noticed.

There's my wife. Excuse me.

- Hey.
- Hi...

I'm so glad you came.

I have uh, two hours before I
pick the boys up from soccer.

- Okay.
- Susan!

- Megan! Hey!
- Susan!

- Hi, how are you?
- Great, how are you?

- I am well.
- Really? Good to see you.

Good to see you, too.

Okay, shove off, give me my wife back.

Bye.

Can't somebody else pick them up?

I mean these are your friends, too.

- Don't do that.
- Do what?

Don't pretend that this party
has anything to do with me.

This is about you. I showed up, okay?

Okay.

Sign it!

You gotta sign on the line...

- I know. I know.
- Just kidding, just kidding.

Yo, Tariq, maybe get you a cab.

Yeah, let me grab you a water.

You'll thank me in the morning.

Just pretend that you are
talking to me for a minute.

Okay.

I'm talking to you.

I'm avoiding drunk Tariq.

Thanks for the honesty.

I'm always honest.

Always?

Never.

You?

Sometimes.

I can get you a ziplock
bag, if you need one.

- I've got one right in the kitchen.
- I'm good.

Do I look that desperate?

Honestly...

Yes.

But you said you're never honest.

I am when it matters.

I'll hold you to that.

Okay.

Take him golfing, get him a nice cigar.

Right, because he's-when he said-

When he says it in that room...

It's not that he doesn't mean it,
it's that he's not committing to it.

There's a big difference.

So, are you seeing anyone else?

Like outside of work?

Like a real boyfriend?

No.

I've actually never really
had a "real boyfriend".

Why not?

Well I dunno, I guess as
soon as I sort of realized

there was such a thing
as me and other people,

I kind of...

I guess I just-I don't...

have the same, you know,
reactions to things or...

feelings about the way
things are supposed to be.

Does that make any sense at all?

It makes total sense.

You're like a female Ted Bundy.

Oh, my god!

- Okay, I shoulda made something up.
- Yeah, like always.

Really?

Do I make you feel like I lie to you?

I'm fucking with you.

Hold on.

Better yet, I'm fucking you.

It's a whole lot more fun... Yes?

What?

You gotta be kidding me!

No, no, I just came from that meeting!

It's only been two hours, but
I'll pay you for the four.

Gotta go.

Be careful.

Oh, what's the matter?

Slower.

Slow...

Okay.

- That's good?
- Yeah, yeah.

Why don't you lie down.

But I think most people,
especially guys...

- Most of them...
- What is it called?

You don't know what it is?

- It's a fungus.
- Hmm.

It sounds horrible.

It even looks worse.

- So that's why I got my socks on.
- That's fine.

You can keep your socks on anytime.

I'm gonna go.

I told you it was a given.

Yeah.

Probably just needs to throw
a tantrum here and there.

He's signing, but he
wants Erin to head it.

Wait a minute.

I spoke to Wright this morning. He
didn't say anything about Erin.

You're not listening.

He is staying with us, but
only if Erin takes over.

You'll still work on the case.

I'm sorry.

Have you been fed and watered?

I've been taken care of. Thanks, Tariq.

Good.

- There he is.
- David.

- I'm glad it worked out.
- It worked out just fine.

- You waiting for Zucker?
- No, he's been detained.

- Glad you guys could make it.
- Mmm-hmm.

He just needed a little
reassurance to stay with us.

Erin, I'm surprised with your humility.

I'm kidding, you're gonna love her.

Well, she is very persuasive.

He's with Kirkland,
that's all that matters.

You went behind my back.

I saw an opportunity, and I took it.

There wasn't a chance
to tell you sooner.

Well, now is not the time.

Could you give that to
David when you're done?

Yeah.

Susan wanted me to give you these.

Hmmm...

Also I was wondering if
you've had a chance yet

to review the Colson affidavits.

No.

Okay...

Um, let me know when you do.

I'll look them over in the morning.

Great.

It's been a long day.

I hear you.

How you liking it here?

Yeah, it's great.

Want to get a beer?

Right now?

Yeah.

You tell me your goals.

You poach...

You do.

You're working on a case,

you consider him your client,

it doesn't matter who's heading it.

Seriously.

They're yours to be had.

I am not saying be-

be desperate and tactless but...

But you're saying once I pass the Bar,

your clients are my clients...

If you can out-charm me...

Sure.

Done.

You're definitely prettier.

Speaking of poaching, I heard that
Erin's heading the XHP case now.

How did you hear that?

I thought everybody knew that.

I'm still heading it.

Wright's just making a statement.

Just trying to align myself
with the right person.

Wow...

Well, I can see you don't need
any lessons in office politics.

You better watch out for me.

I can see that.

You should focus on becoming
a good lawyer first.

Is "should" the key word there?

"Should" is always the key word.

As in, should we get
another drink or...?

- You want a beer?
- Sure.

I bought this place...

for late nights at the office.

It's been getting a lot of use lately...

Since Megan and I are having problems.

So...

I could cum right now.

I want you to.

You can sleep here.

I toss and turn, I wouldn't
want to bother you.

I'm not a good sleeper anyway.

I have to get up early.

What time?

Five?

Six?

Five.

But I'm only staying
'cause I'm really tired.

I'm flattered.

It's not about you.

I'm...

having a hard time to understand
how it is not about me.

I-I just can't make exceptions.

- I knew this.
- You knew this?

You're gonna sell this hotel.

You know, and you're gonna...

I have to go New York on the
21st for a number of meetings.

I'll be there for three or four days.

Do you want to come?

I'd love that!

Yeah, that'd be amazing.

Yeah, I'm gonna be busy
during the days but uh...

Ryan!

Ohhh!

Bill!

Bill!

What are you doing in town?

Oh, Lynn and I came to see
a couple of shows and uh,

Lynn wanted to do some shopping.

Good stuff! Hi, Lynn!

So we're staying at the Four Seasons.

Oh great...

Listen, why don't I, uh-
why don't I phone over

and then we can all go over for
some drinks while you're in town?

Sure! Uh-

We're here till Sunday evening.

- Good seeing you.
- Good seeing you, too.

Say hi to Kathleen from us.

Will do.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm excited about New York!

Is this Chelsea?

Yes.

This is Ryan's wife.

Nothing.

No response?

Then I'll make this quick.

How much does he pay you?

$1,000? $2,000?

- Still there?
- Yes.

I'll pay you ten to stay away.

What if I don't want your money?

$20,000.

What name do I make the check out to?

I don't accept checks.

Hi, Teeny.

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

Am I abnormally selfish?

Well...

As in, do you think that
I could be a sociopath?

Like classic DSM definition?

You're not a sociopath, Christine.

Well, how can you be sure?

Well first off, sociopaths don't
ask if they are sociopaths

'cause they don't care.

Secondly, I work with
sociopaths every single day.

I know one when I see one.

I'm sorry I called you selfish.

That's fine.

Chelsea?

- Would you like anything to drink?
- No, thank you, I'm fine.

I'd love another iced tea.

Thanks.

We have children, did he tell you that?

I'm sure he talked about me as well.

You're gonna count that in front of me?

No. I trust you.

Thanks.

I keep thinking of all
the horrible things

I should say to you
right now, but I can't

because I genuinely feel sorry for you.

Stay away from my family.

Or I will come after you.
