This Close (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Three's Company - full transcript
Kate is staying in Ryan's guest house. Michael meets Ryan's mom.
Yeah?
All right, come on.
I want you
to see this place.
No, no, no. Come on.
The owner
is really cool.
Please.
You'll be happy you did.
So he redecorated.
What's up, motherfuckers?!
I know I'm new here,
but I need
this first project
to, you know,
be big, all right?
I need this first project
to make noise.
God. I need this
first project to, uh, be loud!
Fuck. I... This is such
a learnable moment for me.
I made a list of words
I shouldn't say.
I need this project
to make waves.
What are you guys
talking about?
Uh, I was just saying
you're a film producer.
You know, like,
in the interest of radical transparency,
I'm not a "film
producer," per se.
But I do have money,
right?
I have infinite money,
and money means movies,
and movies means
a credit by my name.
So you guys in, or what?
Come on.
Yeah.
Oh!
I love it.
I love it. I love it.
I love it. I love it.
Anyway, do you
have more ideas?
He's got, like,
plenty of ideas.
He's always drawing,
always sketching.
He has a, um, memoir.
It's so good.
It's amazing.
It makes me wanna cry,
like, every time
he talks about it.
Could it be
a movie?
You know,
is there sex?
Is there deaf sex?
Every great movie
starts with a title.
"Deaf Sex,"
automatic Oscar.
Come on. Pitch me.
Pitch me. Pitch me.
Pitch me.
Pitch me. Pitch me.
Pitch me. Pitch me.
Pitch me. Pitch me.
Pitch me. Pitch me.
Pitch me. Pitch me.
Pitch me. Pitch me.
Hello! Guys!
"It's based
on my childhood,
how the only toys I had to
play with were my drawings,
because my parents
wanted to spend
their money
on booze and drugs,
and how, as an adult,
I suddenly see my childhood
drawings come to life."
I fucking love it.
I am
holding back tears.
I want to buy it.
I want
to fucking buy it.
He wants
to buy it.
Compose text.
I'll pay you
to write it.
I'll pay you
50,000, 60,000.
I get the rights
to the screenplay.
I mean, I get 50,
60K, that's low.
That's, like,
a month's rent.
But how long does it take
to write a screenplay,
like,
one or two weeks?
I think you're really
special, Michael.
Make art...
Make art with me.
I want it.
Fuck, yes, it did.
Why didn't you just,
like, say yes in there?
Are you
fucking serious?
Look...
I'm just trying
to help you, okay?
'Cause you owe your publisher
$30,000, remember?
This affects me,
too, now, okay?
We're married now.
You gotta
be kidding me.
Fine.
I'm fine.
This is good.
Good morning.
Good morning.
This is your interpreter.
No, I know.
- Yes, hello.
- She's coming. Hi. Hi.
Okay, what...
No, no. No.
I don't...
Nobody stands next to me.
Oh, it's, uh, typically,
the interpreter stands
right behind the speaker
so it's easier for me to look back
and forth between the two of you.
Oh, God,
that's exhausting.
Okay. Hey,
you need to step over there, okay,
and keep an arm's
length distance.
I don't like to feel
other people's body heat,
which makes intimacy
quite challenging.
Just ask my ex-husband.
I'm kidding.
He's dead.
That's so funny.
Oh, I love
that kind of humor.
Oh, are we
already on the line?
Yeah. We're on.
Hi, guys.
Oh, my God. Stella,
you crack me up.
Seriously,
I'm not even kidding when I say
you are the funniest
woman I have ever met.
Ha ha! What?!
Can I actually
have a nitro brew?
Nancy, you
in a coffee shop?
I'm...
How'd you guess?
I'm a total
caffeine addict.
Sorry. I have to ask.
Um, who's talking? I'm Kate Bailey.
Yeah, it's Richard,
Richard Broomsen.
Yeah,
it's Ben's agent.
Hi, Kate.
This is Nancy Farger.
I'm leading
the campaign for Welder.
All right,
shall we get to it?
So I think for the
whole signing thing,
I gotta
discuss that.
Yes, and from
our standpoint,
we think...
- Hello?
- You guys still on?
- Yes.
- Uh, yes, yes.
Uh, absolutely we feel
that Ben should sign.
I have a unique perspective
on this as a deaf person.
We have an incredible
opportunity in this campaign...
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna
have to disagree with you.
For us, it's gonna be
a pass on the signing.
It's a hard no.
I love that you
are passionate
about something
in your life.
My mom,
she has M.S.
And, God, do I wish every
commercial addressed that,
but that's just not
the world we live in.
And there's
just no benefit
to a social justice
angle on this one.
It's a watch ad,
not some march for lesbians.
Completely, Richard.
So I just wanna
make sure that we're
on the same page that
we are good people,
and we're not doing
the signing in the ad.
- Okay, great.
- Exactly.
We'll get together
about the dates.
Yes! Let's
get a coffee.
Let's grab a drink.
Let's circle back.
We could do it on the phone.
Okay, thanks, guys.
- Bye, love.
- Okay.
Well, you tried, Kate.
Oh, boy.
Lot of feelings.
I learned German
in 16 hours, no joke.
Mom.
Ah, Ryan.
Ah, hi, lovey! Ooh!
And Michael.
Ah. Thank you.
So...
So, um...
we have something
to tell you.
What's wrong?
Oh, no. No.
No, no, no,
no, no, no, not today.
Nope, nope, nope.
Not today.
Don't wanna hear it.
Come on. Mom...
I can't
do this today.
I mean, I can't
believe that you're
gonna make me
tell you...
that
my friend has...
cancer.
Noreen?
Yes,
if you must know.
Okay, Noreen's cancer
has been in remission
for six years.
She's literally
a Pilates teacher.
She's your
Pilates teacher.
So ready?
Oh, God, no!
Jesus Christ, Mom,
can you just pretend to be happy?
I'll pretend.
Oh, it would
just be my pleasure.
I'm so happy
for you!
Okay.
Oscar, three martinis, please!
Mm-hmm.
Oh, so rude of me.
Do you want
something to drink?
Hi! Hi. Hello.
Some last-minute
documents.
Uh, why didn't you
just send a messenger?
I was in the neighborhood
and wanted to say hi
while also being great
at my job.
No ulterior motive here.
Did I get that
right?
Yay!
Gosh, so soft.
Where's
the bathroom?
Thank you.
Be back.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right,
your turn, sweetie.
Okay.
So what's new,
besides marriage?
Do you
have a new book yet?
Well, a memoir shouldn't
take longer to write
than it does
to live.
You know, I used to be
exactly like you.
I married
a much wealthier man.
I stopped acting.
I said bye-bye
to "Days of Our Lives,"
and I said hello
to martinis and golf.
But I like it. I do.
I like it a lot.
So you should learn how to
play, and quickly.
'Cause you're me now.
Michael.
Your turn.
Yeah, one swing.
Yeah, one.
- Oh, you're so cute.
- Ohh.
Oh, thanks.
- Let's pop that collar.
- Oh, good.
I love that look on you.
It's so cute.
Yeah, clearly love
a popped collar, Mom.
I do.
You know, sweetie,
they do post-nups now.
- Oh, my God.
- They're retroactive,
and at least
you'd be protected.
I mean, I'm just saying.
- Mom. Mom.
- I'm just saying.
I love Michael.
We literally
just got married.
What are you
even talking about?
Well, you can't
charge a Tesla with love.
Ah.
I mean,
my marriage sucked,
and I just don't want
yours to suck, too.
Are you okay?
Not really.
- U.T.I.
- Fuck.
The worst.
Lucky you.
I'm just getting
over mine, so...
New guy?
That's how I got mine.
Yeah.
Keep it.
Sounds like you
might need it more.
Well, you, too, right?
New guy.
No. He's in Georgia.
And ever since we had sex,
I can't stop
thinking about him.
Girl.
Just feel it,
and then move on.
And you know what?
Fuck someone else
if you feel like you
want to fuck him, okay?
You are
a sexual human being.
Own it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
- Yes!
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay,
we're starting again!
Here we go!
And action.
This is your time.
What the fuck
is that woman doing?
One second.
And action!
Just make sure
we can cut
this part out
if we need to.
Thank you so much.
Sorry.
Am I interrupting?
Oh, no, no, no. No.
I was gonna take off.
Now? Yeah.
Oh, shit!
No, no, no!
Don't! Don't!
- Fuck! Oh!
- Oh!
Fuck.
What the...
Oh, is this
fucking funny to you?
I just redid the floors.
It's like having
fucking children.
Fuck!
No.
All right, come on.
I want you
to see this place.
No, no, no. Come on.
The owner
is really cool.
Please.
You'll be happy you did.
