This Close (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Games People Play - full transcript

Michael hosts brunch; games are played.

What?

Down. Down.

No, no! Don't tase me!

Uh, I thought maybe they
were important leggings?

Uh...

all right, I'm gonna...

Yeah?

You're stupid.

I'm gonna give y'all
a couple minutes to talk.

I'll be right there.

Oh. Wow, you are wearing
next to nothing.



I-Is that one of the guys
from your gay dodgeball team?

No. That is Shep,

Kate's ex-fiancé,

the first one.

Shep, the Georgia one.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

He's not,
in your opinion,

in any way,
physically attractive, right?

Yeah.

I don't think so.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Um...

it's just
it's a really strange time.

Is that why you
didn't come last night?



It's not like you.

I shouldn't
have stood you up.

I shouldn't have
done that. I just...

Swoosh.

Hey. I'm Shep.

Cool.

Why can't he drink?
It's Saturday.

There is the Michael
I know and love.

Yep.

Okay.

Yay.

Okay.
Part three.

Is this...

Wigminton! Fuck, yes!

What's wigminton?

Wigminton is my fucking
jam, is what it is.

Okay, it's when, uh,
muscular gay guys get together

and prove that they are
gay by putting on wigs,

but also that they're not
too gay by playing sports.

It's fucking badass.
Oh, my God. Thank you.

Can I play?
I'd love to play, if that's allowed.

I know the rules

of your community
can be very specific.

We'd be honored if you
would play with us.

Let the games begin!

Argh!

Jesus Christ.

'm not trying
to intimidate you, dawg,

but I was the Wii Tennis
champ at my bunk

at Camp B'nai Shalom.

Come on. It's noon.

Okay, who wants
to play first?

Blondes
verse brunettes?

Ooh, ooh, deaf
against hearing.

I can be
on both teams.

And break!

So you're like
a gym guy?

Ah, no, I don't
really work out.

I just lift a lot
of boxes and stuff.

Oh, cool. So this is,
like, natural then?

Judge, referee,

king of the world.

Okay, king,

so what are we
playing for?

Love it.

Boom!

This is what
bonding looks like.

Like what?

Happy? Fun?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm
fine with it.

Oh, good. Okay.

This is gonna be
a fun day.

It's a little weird and
overwhelming, huh, all the signing?

Sometimes.
I understand some.

How long you
in town for?

Good question.
I don't know.

I came
to surprise Kate,

and then she stood
me up last night.

Oh, really? Oh.

Oh, that's...
that's rough, man.

- I'm sorry.
- Yeah.

We had
this amazing morning,

and then, all of a sudden,
she flakes on dinner.

Ucch. Well, guy to guy,
um, it just sounds

like she's not feeling you,
you know?

I mean, what was amazing
about the other morning,

you were saying,
specifically?

Ooh!
You're scoring on yourself.

Come on.
Let me score on you.

Your friends seem nice.

Like I said...

it's just been a
really strange time.

If it's a no,

you can just tell me no.

What if it's
a "I don't know"?

I'm... I'm gonna
get some water.

I'm thirsty.
Are you thirsty?

I am in the finals.

Proud of me?

And I am getting along
with Kate today.

Whoo!

Okay. Just one second.

Just hold on. Okay.

I'm four points from
the singles championship.

Just root for me.

Hey, hey.

Okay. Whatever.

Keep going.

What about
the singles?

Babe?

Nice.

Ah. Funny.

Okay. Okay, not funny.

Stop.

Yeah, I see you, too.

Uhh. Off.

Last round, guys.

Hey.

What, me?

Okay. Uh, never have I
ever eaten sushi.

Uh...

Oh, fuck this.

No, no. Wait.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

You don't know
how sorry I am.

When did you sleep with him?

Was it before or after
you slept with me?

I fucked up, okay?

I really...
I fucked up.

What happened to you, Kate?

I hate you.

You're not making
any fucking sense!

Stop! Stop!

Look at me.
Stop. Hey, hey.

Hey. Hey.

You're okay.

Stop.

Wha...

Yeah. Uh...

i-it's really great
to see you.

It's been a long time.
I-I know.

Hey!

Stop. Michael.

Stop.

It's... Stop.
It's all right. Please.

Enough with the fucking gun.

All right, stop.

Come here.

Everybody
just back up.

Hey, hey, hey.
Come here, okay?

We just go inside.

You've gotta stop.

Okay, stop.

Ryan, just stop!

What? What?

You've been enabling him
this whole time.

Are you fucking joking?

- No.
- Oh, my God.

You helped create
this whole fucking mess!

Not you, okay?
The situation.

It's not you.

- Look at him.
- I see him.

- Just look at him.
- Please stop. Please.

Come on.

Just stop!

I'm...

Mikey, I-I'm sorry.

I-I didn't mean
for this to happen.
