Undetectable (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Undetectable Will - full transcript
Matthew finds inspiration in new friends and returns to the world of online dating.
- I'm completely obsessed with this.
- You don't think it's too bare?
- No.
I think it's perfect.
Matthew.
My God, hi.
- Hi, surprise.
- What are you doing here?
- Well, I asked Caroline where you guys
were gonna be working tonight
and I thought you might like a cup of tea.
Thank you, that is so sweet.
You know it's two in the morning, right?
- Yeah, well, I thought
this was gonna either be
a Rom-Com, sweep you off your feet,
chivalrous or totally creepy.
I hoping it's not creepy.
- It's not creepy.
Okay, Caroline, you can say hello.
- Hi, Tyler.
Hi, honey.
- I can't really hang out
'cause we have to clean up,
but this is so sweet.
- I think that I got this under control.
Why don't you guys call it a night?
Or not.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
- Yeah, but you have all that stuff
in the back and we--
- Trust me, okay.
Now, you get him home safe, Romeo.
- I will, thank you.
- Have a good night.
Night.
- Night.
Hi.
Hi.
So, the only place open is the deli
where I got to see.
- Hi, I'm Matthew.
Last week, I went on my first date
since being diagnosed.
He doesn't know,
yet.
I just wanna be able to date
and get to know him without making it
this huge serious thing where I,
you know, like I have some
big reveal or confession.
I'm also not sure what
point I'm leading him on,
if I'm leading him on at all.
And I thought of having to do this
every time I go on a first
date is a little exhausting.
So, yeah, that's
just something I'm trying
to navigate right now.
- Thank you for sharing, Matthew.
So, we've all come up against this, right?
If this is something you think
you wanna meditate on as well,
perhaps your mantra could be,
my status affects only my
desire to remain healthy.
My heart affects my ability to love.
Would anyone else like to share today?
No?
Okay, let's begin our meditation.
Hi.
Thanks for coming.
Thank you or sharing today.
I hope you're finding all of this helpful.
- I think I am, thanks.
Good.
So, you can speak.
- I can, and I didn't rush
out after the meditation, so.
I guess it must be the
whole progress thing
Claudia keeps talking about.
- Must be.
Shamar.
- Matthew, it's nice to meet you.
- Same, I like to break the
ice with the cute newbies
before the gargoyle swoops in
which should be any
moment since you just told
everyone you're single.
- Yeah, I guess I just solved
my own dating conundrum.
- Was I interrupting anything?
No?
Great.
I juts wanted to say that before
when I was diagnosed, I
spent years telling myself
who I can date, how I was
supposed to meet them,
what the protocol was and honey,
it's all bullshit.
My boyfriend is a negative,
I found him on Tinder.
- Thank you, Shamar.
- And try out the the
Poz dating sites, okay.
And if you don't like what you see,
there's always, crying---
Shamar!
- I'm going.
I'm just trying to offer
a little friendly advice.
Bye, Matthew.
- Nice to meet you.
- Bye, Felicia!
- Sorry about him,
he can come on a little strong.
No, there's no need to apologize.
- Anyway, if you have any questions about
meditation or the practice or anything,
don't hesitate to reach out.
We're a very close group.
- Thanks.
- And never think of your
status as a shortcoming.
The rejection can be hard sometimes,
but you begin to gauge who's worth telling
and who isn't.
I told my husband the first night we met.
See you next week?
- Definitely.
Shit.
Hi, Will.
- Hi.
- Welcome.
Wow, you wore a suit.
- Yeah, I had a client dinner.
Then, let me take that.
Would you like some water or--
- Sure.
- Or wine, I have wine.
- Water's great.
- So, where are you
headed so early tomorrow?
- I've finished my undergrad
at Villanova in 02,
and I loved it so much I never left.
- Cool.
I grew up outside of
Philadelphia in New Jersey.
How ling have
you been in New York?
- 10 years, which is kinda
crazy to think about.
- You went to school here?
- I went to the New York Art Academy.
- You're an artist?
- Well, I studied painting
and now I build window displays
for designer clothing brands, so,
it's not as lucrative as
pharmaceutical sales I'm sure.
- It sounds much more entertaining.
- Do you need a refill?
- I'm alright, thanks.
Are you always this thirsty or
are you waiting for me to make a move?
- I'm sorry, I,
I just haven't done this
in a really long time
and I just wanted to make sure that
you were--
Sane?
- No, well, yes, but I just mean
I wanted to make sure
you were cool with me
and my status.
- I'm on prep.
Right.
- And you seem sane.
- I try.
And you're gorgeous.
- Thank you,
so are you.
- Should we go to your room?
- Yeah, it's right around this way.
Um, can I hang that up?
- Yes, I'm so sorry, of course.
- You okay?
Yeah, I'm
sorry, I'll hang that up.
- No, I'll just fold it over the chair.
No, no, I
can put it in my closet.
- It's okay.
- Let me just...
- Where are the condoms?
- Can you lie on your back?
My God, she is so stinking cute.
Little Lilly.
- That's my little nugget.
I wish I could see her more often.
- Your whole family's in Michigan?
- Yup.
I sometimes think about moving back there
if I ever have kids, but,
I don't know.
- You don't know about Michigan
or you don't know about having kids?
- No, Michigan, I'm
definitely having kids.
Well, you must
be the favorite uncle.
- My sister won't let me wear it
in front of her brother in law.
But, I did get a world's best
uncle T-shirt for Christmas.
My God.
Careful who you show this picture to
'cause their ovaries might explode.
- Shut up.
- Yeah, I wish I was a
little more like my brother.
I mean...
Where does he live?
- My parents own this little lake house
where we would spend
weekends in the summer.
- That sounds very thrill on Walden Pond.
- Yeah, I don't think the rogue got
as stoned as often as my brother, but.
- Thank you.
I don't think anyone has ever done that
for me before.
Well,
I like doing it.
- So, what's in the box?
I don't know,
I haven't opened it.
- You received a mystery package
and you haven't opened it yet?
What are you testing, your willpower?
- It's just from my mom.
Care package?
- No, probably just some manipulative ploy
to make me feel guilty about the fact
that I haven't come home
to visit in a while.
- She can't be worse than my mother.
- I'm just kidding, she's not that bad.
Don't tell her I said that.
- I promise I won't.
I should be heading out soon.
Yeah,
I don't want to keep you.
You are trouble.
- No.
You are.
When was the last time
you had a boyfriend?
- When was the last time
you had a boyfriend?
- Two months ago.
- Really?
And did you break his heart?
- No, he broke mine.
- My last relationship
ended six months ago.
- Was he negative?
- I thought so.
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
It's fine.
Is that how you got infected?
- I remember getting really sick
a few weeks after we stopped
using condoms, but...
I mean, he told me he was negative
when we first started seeing each other,
I trusted him.
So, I don't know if he
had it and didn't know
or if he cheated on me
when we were together
and got it that way,
I'm not really sure.
- Do you think he found
out and just freaked?
- I guess.
I finally had to just send him an email
telling him everything.
Whether or not he got it, I don't know
and quite honestly, I don't really care
because I never intend
to see him ever again.
Six months, damn.
- Yeah, it's been,
interesting to say the least.
We all have our shit.
You just have to learn to live with it.
- I'm sorry, did I just
make this so awkward?
I didn't mean to just like.
- Not at all.
Say all my stuff.
- You can ask me about any of my asshole
ex boyfriends any time.
I don't mind meeting up
next time I'm in town.
Your bed is so comfortable.
You sure you don't mind me staying?
- No.
Do you want me to set an alarm?
- No.
Fall asleep with me.
You okay?
Yeah.
Go back to sleep.
No, no, no, I'll get up.
No, stay in bed.
I'll let you know the next time
I'm in the city.
And you do the same if
you're ever in Phil.
I will.
Text me when you find out
what's in the box.
♫ How you like me now
- You don't think it's too bare?
- No.
I think it's perfect.
