This Close (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - Frog of Truth - full transcript

Shep.

Shit.

So I feel like these
will probably fit.

Uh, getting tased
and pissing my pants

is enough humiliation
for one day.

Okay, so no?

So...

You invited me to visit.

Yeah...

years ago.

The eggs in L.A.
are really good.



Why are you here?

Well, there's something
I want to say.

I've been practicing.

I can't believe
you did that.

Hey, I've been messed up
since you left Georgia.

Everything
just feels wrong.

I've been thinking maybe
we could make this work.

I don't know.
I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm...

I have to go to work.

Yeah.

But it's like this.

For me,
decisions are like poop.

I can't poop at will.



I poop when I poop.

Yeah, exactly.

I poop when I poop.

Right.

Okay, good.

I'll text you.

Hey.

Announcer:
This is your time.

Stella: I'm gonna have
to watch it again.

I don't see
anything wrong.

This is your time.

Why is there
no signing in this?

Well, that's what we agreed
to on the conference call.

Am I going crazy?
It was a whole thing.

No, I talked with Ben.
He agreed to sign.

Okay.

Did you ask anybody?

No, I...

Initiative.
I took initiative.

So you went rogue.

What were
you thinking?

I was thinking
about representation.

Oh, yes,
okay, great.

Representation
is great.

We love
representation.

We also love keeping
our clients happy.

Look, you are paid
to do your job,

so do your job.

Okay? Help his career.

Make him money.
Make people want to work with him again.

Understood?

Understood.

Do you really understand
what I'm saying?

Yes, I understand.

Okay. Great.

So why don't you take
the rest of the day off?

Thank you.

This is your time.

I have to go.

Shit.

This is the frog of truth.

Only the person who has
the frog of truth can talk.

The other person
has to listen,

because listening is much
more important than hearing.

So who wants to...

Okay. Here we go.

Um...

this was supposed to be
a new beginning for us,

but I feel shame

whenever I try
to fix things.

Epp, epp, epp,
epp, epp.

You don't have the frog.
Gotta...

Yeah, please.

I just don't understand, like,
what it is you do all day.

Oh, really?

I'm trying
to use my money

to fucking help
keep you creative.

I'm helping
the creative process.

I just do. I don't...

I don't... That's such
an unfair question.

Okay, look.

The root of the issue,

it seems to me,
is not language.

It's communication.

You don't really
need a frog

to be honest
with each other.

I mean, although other couples
that, you know, use it,

it's been very helpful in the
past, but that's...

that's fine.

Um, I want
each of you

to give each other
a direct action.

Okay?

Okay. I...

Do I have
to use the frog?

It's fine.
Go ahead.

I want you
to try, okay?

Just really try
with Tack.

Look, I made this
happen with him.

It's important
to me,

so please, please,
can we just...

Make a meeting
for this afternoon.

That's beautiful.

I mean, you just
gave me an idea

for the name
of my next book.

"Love Transcends
Language."

Thanks, dude.

My God, you're the one

who made us turn on
location sharing, remember?

I told you this morning
that you didn't have to,

but instead,
you decided to just lie

and waste my time.

You are such
a fucking disappointment.

I should go.
