We Are Who We Are (2020): Season 1, Episode 3 - Right Here Right Now III - full transcript

- What's in it ?
- What do you mean ? It's cookies.

- I don't eat shellfish.
- It's cookies.

Read the list of ingredients.

Come on, it's cookies,
it's got milk, sugar, butter.

It's cookies,
why are you so complicated ?

Please, read it.

Powdered milk, flour, chopped hazelnuts,
walnuts, butter, lard...

May contain shellfish.

You should really stop shopping
at that shitty PX.

What are you reading ?

What are you reading ?



"In the body, where everything
has a price, I was a beggar."

A beggar ?

"I watched, through the keyhole,

not the man showering,
but the rain falling through him."

- Who's that ?
- Poet.

I don't get poetry.

First time I saw you,
you were reading a poem.

Me ? Never.

So the body of me
to all I meet or know.

Spying on me ?

- To all I meet or know.
- Stop ! You're embarrassing me.

Why do you read poetry ?

Same reason that I hate your clothing.
It's fast-fashion.

You buy stuff you think you like and
in two months it goes in the garbage.



- I want stuff that means something.
- God !

The same goes for poetry.
Every word means something.

Never kissed anyone before.
Have you ?

Not even Mark ?

- It wasn't like that.
- It wasn't like what ?

Fast-feelings.

Are my boobs bigger ?

- Come on, jump in.
- No, there's too many fish.

- Grab the line.
- The what ?

- The line. The rope.
- Why not just say rope ?

RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW

Because it's not a rope,

it's a line.

But it's a rope.

You're the one who's careful
about saying the right thing.

Same object, different use,
different name.

- It's kind of interesting, isn't it ?
- Just grab it.

Here's your fucking rope.

Come on.

- Look at that spider.
- Fuck spiders.

We should've cleaned up before we left.
You know, you're really messy.

- No, I'm not. You're a neat freak.
- I'm not a neat freak.

I take good care of my stuff,
of the stuff I love.

- Which is what you should do.
- What kind of stuff ?

I don't know,
like your personal stuff.

When you have to pack up
and leave every three years

you stop caring about shit.

Keeping my shit in good order
calms me.

Because you're a neat freak.
I read this thing about serial killers...

I read this thing about hoarders who
died asphyxiated by their own junk.

God ! Stop !

My... Stop ! Stop !

- Are you kidding ?
- Yes.

- Fuck ! You're really...
- No, no, no.

No !

- In my eyeball !
- Okay ! Geez, okay.

No, no, no. Alright, enough, geez !

Here !

Good afternoon, sir.

Wait for me.

Cate !

Cate ! You gotta shower
after swimming in the lagoon !

Hi !

That's mine.

Take whatever you want
from the fridge.

I'll make you another one.

Stop.

Don't do that.

Wanna stay for dinner ?

- Is Cate back ?
- She's in the shower.

SAM
I need to see you

- Down, up.
- Six.

- Down, up.
- Seven.

- Down, up.

- Down, up.
- Nine.

- Down, up.
- Ten.

I think it's over.

Okay.

Alright.

Fraser: U sure u want
to suffer through dinner ?

Come early. Got some pics 4 you.
03:47 pm

Are you going to be alright ?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

- Up, down.

- Up, down.

- Up, down.

- Up, down.

- Up, down.
- Ten.

Pushups.

- Down, up.

Sam !

Sam !

Sam, wait for me !
You don't have to be alone !

They're slow with no form.

Balance your weight !

Are you okay ?

Is it about Cate ?

Sam.

If you jump like that from a plane
you'll splatter your legs !

- I just really cared about her !
- It's not your fault.

I have nothing.

You have me.

Excuse me, ma'am ! Ma'am !

Where shall I put this ?
It's Ocean Vuong.

Please you can leave it with me.

Are you returning this ?

Hi.

I've been waiting for it
the whole week.

How is it ?

Don't tell me !

- He's writing his first novel now.
- "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous".

You know what it's about ?

It's about a little boy,
his name is Little Dog

and he's writing his letter
to his mother

but his mother she's illiterate
so she cannot understand his letter.

Anyway I knew it was you.
Bye, Fraser.

Bye, Ma... Major.

Jonathan !

Cate !

Hi.

Want to get something to eat ?

- Yeah, something to drink maybe.
- Okay.

He's like really suffering.

- He's the one who broke up with me.
- And what did you say to him ?

- Okay.
- Okay ? You told him "okay" ?

You want a veggie bowl ?

Ever really been in love with anyone ?
Do you know what it feels like ?

- Looks perfect on you.
- Thanks.

Remember when we did that tattoo
with the whiteboard marker ?

I just told him
we were getting together.

We're going to Gianni's tonight.
Wanna come ?

- You're still seeing T-shirt ?
- Yeah.

- What's happening to us ?
- What do you mean ?

You, me, the group.
You're never around anymore.

It's just tonight babe, okay ?

Are you guys like a thing now ?

Why do you follow this ?

'Cause I live in the present
and I support the universal freedom.

Is it the hormones that do that ?

Hormones plus genetics.

So transgender is:

you change your name,
your face, your body, everything.

No. We were told for ages that we were
males or females. And that was that.

Males would do certain things
and females would do certain things.

Transgender means
that you can just cut that bullshit

and instead you say, you know what ?
It's not that simple. It not even binary.

- Get it ?
- I'm not sure.

- Know what a fever is ?
- Sure.

It's like a symptom, right ? A fever
is a symptom that your body is sick.

- You're telling me my body is sick ?
- I'm telling you it's like a fever.

It is, but it isn't. It's like a symptom.

And if you pay attention,
you'll discover real life.

There's a fucking revolution
going on inside of you.

He looks so different.

Do you like him ?

- I see how you look at him.
- What are you talking about ?

- You're nervous.
- I'm not nervous.

Is your beard growing ?

- I don't know.
- Can I touch it ?

Stop it. Stop.

- Please.
- No.

Please.

That's so cool.

Stop !

- He's my type, but not my kind.
- You've become very schematic.

- Don't you like it ?
- Depends.

Look at me.

Okay... Keep it straight
and parallel to your skin, alright ?

And just go down smooth.

If you laugh it won't work
because you'll cut yourself.

Hold on, don't move.

It's monumental.

- Fraser, sweetheart !
- Fuck, fuck.

Fraser, Caitlin, dinner is ready.

Do I smell like shaving cream ?

Unless you're thinking of kissing them
on the mouth, I think you're fine.

- I broke up with Sam.
- Really ?

- Yeah, people think we're dating.
- What ?!

- It'll make you more popular.
- I don't want to be popular.

Did you put in the red onion ?

Hey chef, check your dish.

- Looks good.
- Stop.

Caitlin.

You can take that seat.

Sweetheart, can you dim the lights ?
I have a headache.

Thank you.

The fucking cod.

Where's the cream ?

You didn't get the cream ?
Didn't I tell you to buy cream ?

You never listen to me.
Alright, maybe I didn't tell you,

but the dish needs cream.
It needs cream.

Fuck ! Never mind let's eat.

So this is a local dish ?

Yes, I soaked the stockfish
for three days.

And I used real parmesan, not like
the kind that we used back home.

It's interesting.

Okay, it's fucking disgusting.

- No, it's not. It's unusual.
- No, it's actually fucking dis...

- Nobody eat it !
- Just leave it.

Nobody eat it !

We should go back
to our usual weekly fucking roast !

Your roast is delicious.
Isn't it, Caitlin ?

- Yeah.
- Try some farofa with it.

This one.

That's a cute t-shirt.

You bought it for me.

- Did I ?
- Yeah.

Remember his turban phase ?

Sarah, don't.

When he was a little boy, he used
to put together these looks.

He would get a towel
then wrap it on his head, like a turban.

Come on, show her.
It was adorable.

- Don't, Sarah.
- Come on !

And you were obsessed with that song.
What's that song ? It was like...

Lady Gaga... the one where they are
all red in the video... Remember ?

Come on !

He looked really cute then.

I used to think I was Wolverine
when I was younger.

Logan.

It was nice having you over.

Thanks.

Goodnight.

One to one.
Best out of three gets the ball.

But you already missed
two times !

I find Caitlin terribly intriguing.

Come on.

Hey, you ! Get over here.

Did you hear me ? Get over here !

Get a rag.

Dad, our game...

Dad !

Should I wait here ?

Goodnight !

What is this mess ?

- Nothing dad...
- That wasn't a question, young lady.

Clean it. If I find just one crumb left
you're in big trouble.

What ?

You never called me that before.

You never made a mess of my boat
before, I want it spotless.

I find Cate terribly intriguing.

She is.

- You're a witch ! You're a witch !
- Let go of me !

- I hate you ! I hate you !
- You're hurting me !

- Fraser !
- Just stay out of this.

I hate you !

I was just trying to be nice
to your girlfriend.

By ridiculing me ? You went out
of your way to embarrass me.

And she's not my fucking girlfriend.

Sweetheart...

Sweetheart !

Don't be jealous
just because she likes me.

Let go of me ! Let go of me !
I'm going to fucking kill you !

- I'm going to fucking kill you !
- Alright now. That's enough !

Fraser !

Let him go.

Did you hear what he said ?
He can be so cruel.

- He's always been complicated.
- It's exhausting...

Being his mother and father
all at the same time, all the time.

Let's go to bed.

Just one more drink,
it'll calm my nerves.

You can't imagine what it's like to have
your son say he hates you to your face.

You're right.

I can't imagine.

Honey, it's obvious
you're the only one he listens to.

Why do you always want
to have sex after a fight ?

- Why not ?
- Is there love in our truce ?

We're soldiers,
we're always ready for battle.

Come on.

I ironed them.

Yes, but you ironed a crease in the back
that shouldn't be there.

I apologize.

Do you think she irons ?

Who ?

- You talking about the Colonel ?
- Yes.

I have no idea.

I think the other woman
does all the housework.

One's the guy and makes decisions
while the other does the chores.

I can't see it work any other way.

Plus, I have a hard time imagining
any of those people doing the laundry.

Mommy. I can't...

Come here.

It must've been a bad dream.

Hang on.

Come here, where does it hurt ?
Here ?

Mommy...

Come here, baby.

The first time you couldn't breathe
was in Morocco.

You can't remember
because you were just a baby.

I kissed your back
over and over saying "Hush,

hush,

mommy's here,

nothing's going to happen to you,
cause mommy's here".

We all need to remember that service
members who are involved

in potentially concussing events
are required to come in

and get evaluated
within 24 hours.

The sooner you get treatment,
the sooner you rest your brain,

the sooner you'll get back to health.

Reconnect with America Program
is focusing on reaching out to...

Good morning, commander.

That's the only way

we can turn our progressive platform
into change...

Ma'am, good morning.
I wasn't expecting you today.

Just Sarah.

Can you get used to that ?

- Where is everyone ?
- At Chioggia. There is a festival.

Could you get me a list of the soldiers
about to deploy to Afghanistan ?

Colonel Poythress reported
that the men are not ready yet.

He said it's too short notice,
they need their 90 days of prep.

Sometimes we don't have 90 days.

Send a note
to the Theater Garrison Commander.

Tell him the men's equipment are ready,
so are the men.

Don't make it too formal.
He's a good friend.

My type, not my kind.

Stewart and Ronny aren't
on the Tug of War team this year.

We lost two key players.

They were really powerful.
Weren't they ?

The team's going to be unbalanced,
those two used to put up quite a fight.

- Jenny says Richard is concerned.
- He takes it too darn seriously.

Hey, Maggie.
You're not coming to the festival ?

What festival ?

What do you mean ? !
Chioggia ! You gotta come.

- No, thank you.
- But it only happens once a year.

- You can't miss it !
- Maybe she doesn't want to come.

I'm not kidding, they'll close off
the canals in Chioggia in 48 hours.

Not today, I hope ?

Of course not, not with the parade.
They got to clean them out.

How does that work ?

I don't know.
They stop the water from flowing in.

Can you please turn the volume up ?

I love Italian songs.

But how do they clean them ?

They can't suck up the muck
with a vacuum cleaner ?

Of course they don't use
a vacuum cleaner !

Maybe some sort of pump, I don't know.
Somehow they'll drain the water out.

- You should try the "sarde in saor".
- Sarde in sabor ?

No, saor. Not sabor.
They're exquisite.

- Mel ! I forgot the cake in the car.
- Leave it, it's not important.

- It is important for Richard.
- But the parade is about to start !

See you.

Let me come with you.

- That's not necessary, thank you.
- But I'd like to.

I'm so sorry.
There are a million things...

So this is what we've become ?

We're on one side of the street
and they're on the other ? Like enemies.

They're on the other side of the street
'cause Sam can't pull himself together.

It's always "Caitlin Day".

I mean she's always
the center of attention.

Oh my gosh,
you guys are being so overdramatic.

She's not doing anything wrong.
Look at Vale, isn't she beautiful ?

Vale ! Vale !

Oh my God,
I just discovered that I love the drums.

Caitlin !

Caitlin !

Fuck !

Hi.

Brit, wait !

Wait !

- Are you happy now ?
- What ?

- You broke up my group, selfish bitch.
- Your group ? I started it.

- It's mine.
- Touch me...

It's always been my group, bitch.

- Back the fuck up !
- It's mine.

- Shut the fuck up, man !
- Dude, what the fuck !

- I don't care who your mother is.
- Get off of him !

I'll fucking kill you. You hear me ?

Come on. Get off of him, man !
Relax, relax, okay ?

- Fuck you, man.
- Relax, man. Chill out. Chill out.

Chill out. Come on, let's go.

Relax, bro. Relax. Come on.

Fuck.

Let's just go. Fuck this festival.

I just wanted us all to hang out.
I'm sorry she's being a bitch.

Oh my God !

Jesus Christ !

He's as strong as a bull.
I'll never be that strong.

You can say that again.

But you know, it's actually good ?

Never underestimate me.

Again ?

I love when he says that.

Jonathan... he knows my name.

You're the son
of the commander in chief,

everybody knows your name,
especially him.

It felt weird when he hit me.

- Jonathan ?
- No, your brother.

What do you mean it felt weird ?

It's great they don't ask for IDs
to buy wine here.

That's why
this country is so civilized.

What do you mean it felt weird ?

Nothing. I saw you looking at that
Italian girl when she walked by.

Me ? Never, no.

You looked at her ass.

- I don't look at girls' asses.
- Are you sure ?

- You look at my brother's ass ?
- No ! Never, why would I... No !

What about Jonathan's ?

Just because my mom's a lesbian
doesn't mean that I'm gay.

You don't have to not be gay either.

What do they say about us ?

They think we're dating.

I think they think we're weird.

Does that bother you ?

We're never going to kiss.

Deal ?

Deal.

Cate told me
your roast was delicious.

She's usually so finicky
when it comes to meat.

We do know
how to cook meat in Brazil.

Are you Brazilian ?

Yeah.

My grandma was an amazing cook.

She was the most important person
in my life,

so I like to cook like her.

They only want me
to make American food.

What is American food ?

You're Nigerian, right ?

Do you ever make Egusi Soup ?

Richard doesn't like it.

You've had it before ?

Once. I loved it.

Are you sure you don't want to see
the parade ?

Let's walk a little more.

Watch out.

If you lose your position,
everyone does.

It's teamwork, all right ?
We're one.

It's chilly here.

Are you a Muslim ?

I used to be a lot of things.

And I stopped being a lot of things.

Truth is...

I don't know who I am anymore.

But I like it here.

It's calm.

I don't know
how my God feels about it.

How do you feel about him ?

The match !

Come on !

Pull !

Fuck ! Shit !

Richard !

- There you go, sir.
- Thank you.

- You did great.
- Where's Cate ?

I don't know, she was with Danny,
they must be around.

She always comes to see me.

I baked a cake for the team.
I know how important it is for you.

Thank you, but we're all going for pizza
tonight at Baldo's.

I thought I told you.

Let's go and get a drink.

See you later. Maggie.

He did tell me. I guess I forgot.

He must love Caitlin very much.

Harper !

Harper !

Look at those ! It's awesome.

I can't figure out
how they do them.

You hear that ?

I think it's over there.

- You like to dance ?
- Yeah.

Do you ever feel like
you don't fit in anywhere ?

I'm a soldier, bro !

Yo. Yo, you good ?

Man, don't die here, come on.

I'm good. I'm good. You stupid.

I hate this place.

- I hate my family.
- Don't talk about your family like that.

They're like mice locked in little boxes
that all look the same.

They buy, they eat,
and they fight, and...

- Imagine jumping off.
- What ?

What you say ?

What if...

I just jump with no harness and...

And it was all over.

If you ever mention
something like that again...

I'll crack your fucking skull open.

Do you understand me ?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Come here.

You're full of shit, Danny !

Okay, you're right, you're right.
I'm full of shit, Craig. Stop, man.

Hurry up.

- It's over by now.
- Shit.

Hey, wait.

Harper, wait.

For the Americans !

American first !

American first ?
No, American second !

What did you say,
you piece of shit ?

Dad, is this right ?

Position your feet farther apart
and plant them in the ground.

Lean back with your upper body,
or you'll go flying on the first pull.

- What's so great about tug-of-war ?
- Teamwork and balance.

What wins isn't strength but focus
on command and balance.

- That's the reason why I always win.
- Can I be on your team ?

When you're 60, 70 pounds heavier.

- Okay, I'm counting on it.
- I'm counting on it, too.

I was 23, and she showed up
up at the clinic for some tests.

She was already pregnant
but it wasn't obvious.

I was convinced she got pregnant
the first time we made love.

I really did.
I honestly believed it.

You never considered
having a child of your own ?

You never considered having
something that's only yours

and not Richard's ?

It could be Danny.

I'm not so sure.

Pity to waste it...

Okay.
