The Girlfriend Experience (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Insurance - full transcript
Christine's secret identity is compromised following the death of one of her clients.
When did she pass away?
It's been eleven months now.
That's gotta be hard.
What I should do is I should just
stay here with you.
I'd love that.
Well, I'd be happy.
You got lazy and lost XHP.
I got this.
You know, I'd really like
to think I was right
considering you for Managing Partner.
Learn this guy's face.
He's the devil.
My client is suing the
shit out of his client.
Speak of the devil...
Did you two come together?
Ah.
He's signing but
he wants Erin to head it.
Want to get a beer?
You tell me your goals.
Hello?
Uh, you're breaking up a little bit.
Is this a uh, secure line?
It is.
Sorry, I just have really bad reception.
I asked how you got my number?
I got your number from Kevin Young.
Okay.
Listen...
There's one more thing,
I'm travelling with my wife.
I understand.
Do you?
I do.
Is it okay if I call you back Tuesday
and we can confirm and
sort out the details?
Of course. I'll speak to you soon.
Great.
Thank you.
Bye.
Sounds like business is going good.
Yeah, it's fine.
That's good.
To be honest, I'd rather
spend all my time with you.
Oh, yeah?
Just as long as you know I
don't expect that from you.
You know that, right?
- I know.
- Okay.
Just being honest.
Okay.
What we should do, you
and I, is sit down,
and figure out an arrangement
and make that happen.
Yeah, that'd be amazing. I'd love that.
Me, too.
Ah, thought you'd forgotten me.
- Now, you want something?
- No, thank you.
Cheers.
Is there any way we could be alone?
A bottle of vodka, get some popcorn...
Maybe get two bottles of vodka.
Oh, and the girl wants,
she wants canned tuna,
so see if you can find some of that uh,
dolphin-safe stuff,
any organic, you know
what to look for right?
Okay.
Dolphin-safe, that's the way to go.
Michael!
Michael!
Michael?
Michael!
Michael!
It's great, huh?
What's the matter?
Peter Gramercy.
Hi, this is Chelsea Rayne.
I got your message,
just calling you back.
Yes.
I represent the estate of Michael Cilic.
The estate?
He passed away last Thursday evening.
Cardiac arrest.
My condolences.
He named you as a
beneficiary in his will.
I was hoping you could
come by my office,
so that we could go over the details.
Sam?
Are you Chelsea?
This is Shannon.
Hi...
Chelsea.
Excuse me.
Yes, sir?
You serve a 18-year-old scotch with ice
that looks like it came
from a soda fountain?
Could I have a more substantial
block of ice back there?
I'll check, sir.
Yes, please check.
And if you don't have the
proper ice, just leave it neat.
Right away.
So, how'd you guys meet?
Do you want to...?
No, go ahead.
Uh, a mutual friend's birthday party.
It was pretty funny.
I uh...
I didn't like him at all.
I-I thought he was really conceited.
He wouldn't talk to me.
I must have asked him about
a hundred questions,
and he just-he wouldn't say anything.
Turns out he's just shy.
I'm not shy.
Yes, you are.
No, I am not.
Yes, you are.
Okay. That's enough.
Well, it seems like you guys
have a lot of fun together.
You guys wanna do some shots?
It's a $12,000 watch.
Makes phone calls, never lost a second.
She is $3,000.
Where the fuck is she?
- I know.
- Yeah.
- I mean what am I paying her for exactly?
- I don't know.
I guess to leave.
No, don't talk about money.
Sweetie, why don't we call you a cab?
No, no.
I'm fine.
Oh honey, can you...?
Should we go over here?
This damn rug!
No.
Are you okay?
I'm so sorry, I never do this.
It's okay.
Three thousand fucking dollars.
Do you need to use the bathroom again?
Let's just get her clothes back on.
Hello.
Are you sleeping?
Harder.
Harder.
What's going on with you?
Nothing.
Did you cum?
Yeah, did you?
No.
No...
I'm...
Are you stressed out?
No.
I promised I'd take my kids to school.
You can just tell me to leave.
I'm not your friend.
Maybe I can be...
at some point.
But not at four o'clock in the morning.
Feel free to crash here.
Take a shower.
Whatever.
I gotta go.
David?
David, is that you?
I'll be out in a second.
Christine, hi.
Erin.
I thought I heard someone.
You're here early.
Yeah, I just wanted to get here
before the day starts getting crazy.
Get some work done.
Is that something I can help you with?
No, just...
getting familiar with David's work,
going through my own process.
Oh, I'm sure you are.
You want to grab lunch today?
We can talk about your
experience at the firm so far.
I have an opening at two.
Yeah, yeah, that'd be great.
I'd love that.
Cool.
I'll see you at two.
But uh, you know, when we find it,
we will, so...
oh gentleman, I just have
to go but you listen...
It's not official,
and the committee still needs
to make the final vote,
but it's clear the way
everyone's leaning.
I'm sorry, I'm not clear
what you're saying.
They're promoting you
to Managing Partner.
Next week.
Goes without saying, don't
tell them I told you.
That's...
That's great, that's...
Huh...
I just wanted to give you some lead time
so you could get things in order.
What about XHP?
Erin's heading it.
You don't have to worry about that.
Managing Partner is a
high-level position.
I've been working with
XHP for two years.
I'd like to see it through.
Continue working closely
with Erin on it.
If you wanna put in the
extra time, go for it.
But you're only getting one salary.
I know.
We'll consider it pro bono work.
- Congratulations.
- Mmm.
You know, I've heard great
things about your work.
How's it going with David?
It's great. I'm really learning a lot.
It's really impressive
how much he can juggle.
The Sancerre.
Thanks.
Are we ready to order?
Not quite yet.
Did you know he's going
through a divorce?
It must be a trying time for him.
He didn't uh, mention that.
Seventeen years.
Megan...
You met at the party.
He's got two kids, Chris and Kyle.
Sixteen and fourteen.
I shouldn't bring it up.
I just thought you should know,
in case it changes his behavior at work.
Sometimes he doesn't
think before he acts.
But...
You work with him.
You're smart. I'm sure
you've noticed that.
Yeah, I mean he-he definitely
knows what he wants.
Yeah.
That's a great way to put it:
"He knows what he wants."
Thank you for being
honest with me though.
Anytime.
So thorough.
You're leading this now.
You got me into this.
Into XHP's pants?
- Mmm...
- His name is Emery.
Well, the names change,
you're just using the
tools at your disposal.
How's Christine?
Nice deflection tactic.
As your intern?
That's not what you were asking.
I don't need your help.
Yes, you do.
No, I don't.
If anything, I can focus
better without you
in my fucking face,
making snarky comments.
They're promoting me.
To Managing Partner?
No, to Head of Maintenance.
Yeah, Managing Partner.
Sorry.
That was shitty.
I just wanted to let you
know before they did.
I asked to stay on XHP with you.
Thanks for the consolation prize.
I know.
You deserved it.
No, I didn't.
Have a seat.
You live in the city?
Yes.
Okay.
Well...
Michael amended his will two months ago.
I'm sure you understand this sets
off alarm bells within his family.
I'm sure this is very hard for them.
$500,000 was left in the
name of Chelsea Rayne.
Are you Chelsea Rayne?
All Michael left was
your telephone number.
He said you two had become very close.
We were very close.
You'll need more than a telephone number
to prove your identity
to the Probate Court.
Do you have an attorney?
We saw each other once or twice a week
for the past four-and-a-half,
five months.
He was always generous, but
I did not expect this.
I'm sorry, I don't
have any other lawyers
that I trust that I can
talk to about this.
Mmm, admittedly, I was
looking forward to
a nice lunch and a little bit of...
You know.
I didn't know this was
gonna be a business lunch.
Okay, how many um,
"clients" or...
"men" do you see?
Is that necessary?
So I'm gonna help you, but you
gotta be straight with me.
Come on.
A few, including you.
- Does your family know?
- No.
If you decide you want this inheritance,
and uh, you're willing to
prove that you're Chelsea,
it becomes public record.
Anyone has access to the will
once it goes through Probate.
I'm gonna have to think about that.
Well, take some time.
Can I ask you another question?
Go ahead.
Ask away.
Why would two lawyers from
opposing teams share information?
Unless the judge ordered it,
they would have no reason to.
That's illegal.
- That's-that's collusion.
- Right.
What kind of case is this?
Medical patent.
What's it worth?
Billions?
There you go.
There's a whole host of
reasons right there.
You sure that's what's going on?
No.
No, I can't be certain.
Now, I got a question for you.
This, me and you, now.
This is business, right?
It's always been business.
You've been re-assigned
to Skip Hadderly.
Why?
I don't know.
Talk to Evans?
David didn't say.
He must have said something.
He must have given a reason why.
No, he didn't. He doesn't have to.
He just said he wants a new intern.
Skip's great, you'll like him.
Just let it go.
I don't think this will
take that long, will it?
Well, I cancelled the coffee,
I doubt we'll be done
before it gets here.
You boys take it easy on me, alright?
Before we make our final decision,
we'd just like to hear from you,
how you see our firm moving forward.
Think of it as a...
conversation.
Right.
Casual conversation across
from five men staring at me.
Look...
You know me.
I'm not an idealist.
We need to move in directions
which may not feel right.
The market is changing at a rate
that is exponential our
current resources.
I want to see you.
I'm sorry, we can't keep doing this.
I know.
Just one more time?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, she is.
Mmm-hmm.
Just a second.
She's just an intern.
There's nothing to worry about.
I checked everything.
It's not going to trial, I got it.
I will make sure that it
is not going to trial.
Yeah.
Our deal still stands.
Yeah.
Checks go to Quorta.
Still the same.
Alright, I gotta go.
Sorry, I had to go to the bathroom.
Who was that?
That?
That was Ben.
You met him.
He and I...
- We used to know each other...
- From college.
Yeah.
Ben Holgrem, I met him in your office.
His client's suing the
shit out of our client.
You know.
You're still in school?
You'll get it,
when your friends start
working for different sides.
I don't have any friends.
Are you waiting for me to fuck you?
Yeah.
And if I don't?
Then I'll have to fire you.
Your skin.
It feels so good, I want to pass out.
Oh, man.
Hey...
We're really happy to have you on board.
I'm just gonna have you read
a few articles of the work I'm doing
so-so you can get up to speed.
- Okay?
- Great.
And Sara, could you-could you get
our copy of the Eisner application?
And listen,
if you need anything at all,
door's always open, okay?
Great. Thanks, Skip.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Don't be fancy.
- Okay.
I promise I won't make it more
complicated than it has to be.
Just cut and paste. Real easy.
Okay, great.
Are you waiting for me to fuck you?
Yeah.
And if I don't?
Then I'll have to fire you.
It's not going to trial, I got it.
I will make sure it is
not going to trial.
