Week-end Family (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Do-Over - full transcript

FRED: (WHISPERING) I'm
coming out on three.

- ROMY: Use your Mississippi's.
- FRED: All right. One Mississippi.

ROMY: Watch out. She's coming.

- You'll ruin everything.
- CLARA: Shut up.

Come on, give me those.

- How come?
- 'Cause...

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

EMMA: (CHUCKLES)
What's happening?

(SCATTING)

VIC: Everybody spin!

- FRED: Hey!
- Oh...



- Whoa.
- Look.

- What is it?
- Ta-da!

Mercier, Delors,
Prigent, Marquez,

- LeMay. Wow. That's my name.
- LeMay.

- Wow. That's so sweet.
- This way it's your home, too.

Today really is my lucky day.

To have me as a stepdaughter?

Yes.

And Sunday it's going
to be Mother's Day.

And Step-Mother's Day.
You might get a present.

- Oh, lucky.
- (CHUCKLES)

I never get anything.

No, that's a lie.

RESTART EVERYTHING...



FRIDAY

- (FRED SIGHS)
- What?

It's weird that you're
leaving, that's all.

I just can't believe it.

The drive to Brussels is
only an hour and a half.

And you know the
thing about Brussels.

There are so many things to do there.
I'm worried you'll get lost in the city.

I'm not kidding.

Did you know that, for example, the
European statistical office is there?

- (LAUGHING)
- They like to party.

There's also The
Shilling Museum.

Oh, as many shillings
as you want.

- If you like shillings. Oh, boy!
- I love it.

- (LAUGHS)
- It's amazing.

I won't have time to
visit those marvels

because I have my new
job and I'll be too busy.

I'll be busy, but I'll see
you on Saturday and Sunday.

Mmm-hmm.

You'll visit me with the
girls on some weekends.

Speaking of the girls,
we should tell them,

you know, that in two
weeks, you're going.

Yeah, but no, because...

Mother's Day's this weekend
and I want to celebrate and...

Yeah, but if we don't tell
them, it's going to be weird.

No, you're right and we need
to tell them I'm leaving.

So we'll tell the
girls tomorrow?

- And we'll tell their mothers on Sunday.
- That works.

- Let's do this.
- Let's do this.

And then, and then she
said she was leaving.

Papa and Emma, divorced?

They're not even married.

They were saying they're going
to tell us before Mother's Day.

She can kiss her Mother's
Day gift goodbye.

Hey, calm down. Vic, are
you sure of what you heard?

You wanna go to the cinema
tomorrow or are you seeing Alexis?

You thought black and
white pictures were a thing

because people lived
in black and white.

No, but this time, I'm sure.

Okay for the cinemas.
He's gone for the weekend!

Clara, how did things end
with your mother and papa?

They just broke up.

- Yours?
- They broke up, too.

Hey Alexis! Did
you arrive safely?

My mom. She dumped him.

I love him so much.
#alexismanofmylife

I'm done. I'm not doing it
all over again with Emma.

They're going to break
up. We can't let them.

No! No!

Oh, no, no, no, no.

- You're right. We need to be tougher.
- Oh, no.

Overreacting much?

(GROANING)

SATURDAY

You're absolutely crazy. You've
been together for a month.

I know, it was an accident. That
message wasn't meant for Alexis.

Doesn't matter. You totally
just told him I love you.

And you said it first.

Kamikaze.

- That's all I can say.
- But what if I could go, go to see him

and grab his phone and delete the
message? I could do that, right?

- Can I?
- No.

You can't. You already sent it.

It's a living message.

(SCREAMS)

When Julia was in 11th grade,
she told Nico she loved him

after three weeks
and he dumped her.

And you also wrote he
was the man of your life.

No, wait, Ouria. Why
would you tell me that?

EMMA: Wow, this
place is incredible.

CORA: So this is Julia.
She's a psychiatrist.

We've been doing yoga
together for two weeks.

She's darling. Marisso and Absatu
are pediatricians. Absatu is nice.

Marisso is... That's
Salamé, her tagine is crazy.

This office is empty. Nobody's
in it. And this is my office.

- Come in.
- Wow. It is so bright in here, Cora.

Imagine how great
everything's gonna look.

Yes, here you could put a
small table and chairs...

And up there I was thinking
about corkboard, yeah?

- Yeah, with the kids' drawings.
- And over on this side,

I am picturing a sofa bed so
I can nap in between patients.

Yeah, it's going
to be incredible.

I'm so happy. It's an
absolute dream come true.

Like you being on a team with
Cecilia Knuth in Brussels.

What? Brussels?

- This is a disaster.
- It's her dream job.

Wait, wait. Dreams,
dreams. We all have dreams.

Look at me. I could have been
the coach for the French team.

I could have had
an Olympic career.

Guess what? I didn't do it.

Am I unhappy?

Well, sometimes it
feels like you are.

- No!
- Really?

It's society's fault.

It's all about work, work, work,
work, work, work, work, work, work...

And love. What about love?

You know what love is?
It's a hormone imbalance.

You can't not go
because of a guy.

It's not just that. I'm
fed up with research.

I miss practicing.

(PHONE VIBRATING)

- My God, I think it's Brussels.
- What do you mean?

Wait. Yeah. Hello?

WOMAN ON PHONE: Hello, Ms. LeMay?
I'm Cecilia Knuth's assistant.

- Yes. How are you?
- We need you to be here on Monday.

- Does that work for you?
- Monday?

- You mean, as in this Monday?
- Go for it.

Emma can't leave. She
means the world to me.

- She's my sunshine.
- Excuse me, sorry.

We're talking about
my girlfriend, right?

Sorry.

She'll come back
on the weekends.

- Mmm, if she does.
- Of course, she'll come back.

Brussels is the most
romantic city in the world.

Are you thinking about Venice?

Hey, Liege is the
Venice of Belgium.

- That's what they say.
- It's actually Bruges.

Bruges potentially.

- Your kid is red.
- My kid?

The small child underneath
your butt right there.

Sorry. All right, big guy?

You're red. Go get
some fresh air.

- What exercise are you doing here exactly?
- Just light stretching.

- Ah, that's stretching.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me show you.

Nathan, come.

But I've already
stretched enough, sir.

It doesn't matter. We
can do it twice, right?

Are they supposed to be
afraid of stretching?

(SOFT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(GASPS)

- Hello.
- If Clara sees you...

She's not here.

- Well, shall we tell the girls?
- Yeah. Well, wait.

I need to tell you something,
because I got a call.

- Hey. (CHUCKLES)
- What's this?

That's funny.

- They're rose petals. How sweet.
- Not bad.

Very cute. Very.

- Aw.
- FRED: Aw. Even cuter.

We're at the movies. Love you.

Surprise from us three to you
two. Enjoy your romantic dinner.

- I think it's about time we tell them.
- Yeah.

EMMA: But isn't it a bit weird?

FRED: You think the pasta is
made with or without snottiness?

I don't know. You're the shrink.

Aw, it's very, very,
very, very cute.

- The sausage smile.
- Yeah.

Plan A started.

Now things will be all right.

Yeah.

(PHONE CHIMES)

Any news?

No

I'm so upset...

CLARA: If she doesn't like
him, there's nothing we can do.

- So I've been meaning to tell you that...
- Wait. One moment.

I almost forgot.

Don't move.

Ta-da!

Just what you've always wanted.

- Yeah?
- To help you move.

- Yeah. Yes, yes, yes.
- I found them in the dumpster out back.

- And it made you think about me?
- No.

It's not the classiest gift in
the world. But it's practical.

- Cool, cool. Wow.
- Yeah, it's practical.

It's just cardboard boxes.
There's nothing inside.

So work called. I'm starting on Monday,
and I'm leaving at 3 p.m. tomorrow, yeah.

Oh...

No, Emma. But why?

- What happened?
- Girl I'm replacing is leaving early.

And they also asked me to do
symposiums the next two weekends.

What type of symptoms are they?

(CHUCKLES) No, a symposium.

A symposium?

On the weekends when we were
going to see each other.

Well, it's a great thing.

You're gonna work
hard. That's good.

Well, I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

Let's see what's for dessert.

Ooh. Do you like
pre-opened yogurt?

- Yeah. Thank you.
- Well, then it's all yours.

- Ladies first.
- (SIGHS)

Anyway, I'm really sorry
that I can't come with you.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

SUNDAY

- Well, all right. Yeah. We got this.
- Yeah, yeah.

So, girls, we have
something to tell you.

I will be going to, um...

All right. Listen, Emma. You know what?
Save your breath. We already know.

The dinner was
pointless, wasn't it?

So that's what the
dinner was for.

- Oh.
- It was delicious. It was great.

- It was.
- But you heard us talking.

You should know that
we'll manage together.

- We'll...
- No need to sugarcoat it.

We get it. We're
big girls. We know.

Clara, this is a decision
that we made together.

- Yeah. That's what they all say.
- Really?

Who's they?

- All the couples like you guys.
- Maybe we can talk about this together.

Talk about what? The
biggest mistake ever?

- Romy!
- You think?

Not at all. That's nonsense.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

- Hi, Mom. Happy Mother's Day.
- HELENA: Romy!

- What are you doing?
- That's right.

Happy

bad Mother's Day to you.

Love you too.

Maybe you could apologize
for your sisters.

- So, that went well.
- Uh...

Never seen them like that, ever.

Well, maybe it's because
they care about me.

- No, that's not it.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)

Hey, look, little one
is coming to apologize.

BOTH: Uh, no.

Hey, your angry face
doesn't scare us.

That much.

Well, it's done.

Been left with half a lung.

It's been turbulent,
it's been fun.

While I was spinning, oh
you were spilling your.

Toys out of the pram.

Had my ear to the ground.

I've been nervous,
you've been proud.

You don't like the crowds

I don't either.

But I'll occasionally admit.

Finding comfort in the dead.

When the living won't sleep.

It's too hard to rest.

With a mind that wants to
just speak and just speak.

Take from the poor.

Give to the meek.

Start a new war Hear the
march of hearts beating

I can't seem to breathe in.

Been left with half a lung.

It's been a turbulent,
it's been fun.

While I was spinning, oh
you were spilling your.

Toys out of the pram

(SIGHS)

Hey, there.

- Oh, uh, hello.
- How are you?

I'm doing fine. Um,

how have you been doing?

I've been great. I spent
all weekend in a cabin

in a tree with my friends from the
insurrection of our planet. It was crazy.

Okay, okay.

So you didn't have your
cell phone with you?

No, I didn't because my friend suffers
from electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

- Yeah, that's complicated.
- Yeah, I should turn it back on.

Look, actually, I need to, I
need to go to the Café Broc.

- You're leaving already?
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Anyways, what a nice
moment we just shared.

But why? What moment?
What's happening, Clara?

Where are you going?

(PHONE CHIMING)

- CLARA: Happy Mother's Day.
- LAURENCE: Thanks, honey.

Thanks.

- Like it?
- It's awesome. Yes.

- Thank you, honey.
- Happy Mother's Day.

Aw, thank you, sweetie.
You're so cute.

(LAUGHING)

- Sweetie.
- What is it?

What I always wanted. Perfect.

- A nerf.
- That's great.

Yes, you deserve
a kiss. Come here.

I love it.

Wow.

Oh, it's so great. I love it
and look at the little note.

- Thank you, sweetie pie.
- I made it myself.

Do you like it?

Wow, that's ugly. It
looks like a scarf.

No, no, I'm not feeling scarf. It
looks like a tea cozy. (LAUGHS)

You put your head inside.

Oh!

It's a scarf. I win.
Cough up the money.

MARIE-ANGE: I love it, Vic.

You lost the bet. It's
a scarf, not tea cozy.

- I don't remember us betting.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Does it mean I
don't win anything?

- Exactly.
- No. As a matter of principle,

- at least give me $50. Thirty five.
- (CHUCKLES) Stop it!

Twelve.

What's wrong with
Fred? You see that?

Look at his face. Can
you go see what's wrong?

- Yeah, I will. But you owe me 12.
- Stan, don't mess with me.

She tried to give me something
just like it last year.

I am not leaving you like this.

Let Stand take care of it. You
are going to create a diversion.

That way, I'll take her suitcase and
her passport and she stays in Paris.

You know what? We're not
gonna do that. Thanks, though.

- But I don't think you understand.
- What?

- There's Belgian people in Belgium.
- No way.

Yes way. And half of
the Belgians are models.

What are you talking about?

- You all right?
- Great.

So I don't want to play
the annoying shrink.

But if you need
to talk, I'm here.

Like if you need to talk
about something going on

with someone by the
name of perhaps Alexis?

No, no, we're good.

Very well.

You're just too good.

Okay, here's the deal.

I told him I loved him.

Well, I texted it to Ouria and
it went to him by accident.

Okay. But do you?

Love is such a strong word.

I really liked him for
a long time, I guess.

So what?

So...

Since I think he's going to dump
me, I'm going to do it first.

I guess. Yeah, the message
wasn't meant for him, okay.

But...

Are you sure you didn't want to
tell him how you feel about him?

No, it's better this way.

Mmm. Oh, I'm sure you're right.

Yeah, it's better to not
accept your feelings,

than to spend time
with a guy you love.

Like. Like very much. Sorry.

I was about to make
a huge mistake.

Thank you.

You thought you'd leave
without saying goodbye?

Well, I'll finish here,
and I'll join you inside.

It's too bad you're leaving us.

No, I'm serious.

What will I do when
I need some advice?

(CHUCKLES) Oh, sweet, Clara.

Okay, well, everybody's here.

Sorry if I missed
anyone. Okay, okay.

So we have, we have
something to tell you.

Wait, wait, wait. So
Plan A didn't work.

- Then Plan B, tie her up.
- Okay, Plan B.

Hey, ladies.

We don't want you
to leave, Emma.

Where are you going?

Actually, that's what
we wanted to discuss.

Just so I know, is it because
she said I love you first?

What are you talking about?

- We don't want you to break up.
- ALL: What?

No, no, no, no, no.
We're not breaking up.

- Not at all.
- No, no, no, no.

I just, I just found a job.

-A job in... Brussels,
-(CLEARS THROAT) In Belgium.

(ALL GASP) What?

I already knew it.

We did all this for that?

But wait, what are
you going to do there?

You're brilliant. You can
work anywhere, can't you?

But this job is very special and
she'll come back every weekend.

Ah, okay.

Wait, so you only see
each other on the weekend?

- It's a well, well...
- You have the girls on the weekend.

Yeah, that means you won't
be available for them.

Let me answer.

But, yes, we're going to
be together, all together.

- That's too hard for your relationship.
- That's what I said. Truth hurts.

What? No, no.

You can always tell us
if you're taking a break.

That's how it started
with Fred and me, too.

- Nothing to do with that.
- No.

- Nothing to...
- Emma, we're not blaming you.

- We all left him anyway.
- I never did.

Listen up. Hey, we
are not breaking up.

- Okay, okay.
- Get it?

You all don't think I'm
able to keep a woman.

What do you think?

Whose side are you on?
What are you doing to me?

You asked me a question.

No, I wasn't asking
you. I was asking them.

And you guys were different.

They were, they were
great relationships.

But for each of you, there
was a small problem with me,

like two magnets that
don't stick and just repel.

- That's how it was.
- Hmm.

You see, but with
her, we're stuck.

Being with Emma, it's different.

It's, it's really just solid.

I've known it since the
beginning. I mean...

After everything we survived,
for six months, that's not bad.

- We even survived you.
- Oh, us.

We survived Stan.

- Come on.
- That's it. Am I right?

We survived the girls.

So I'm not going to prevent
her from going to Brussels.

- It matters to her.
- That's true.

And even if we
don't live together,

and, or if we don't get to wake
up next to each other every day,

we still love each other.

And I think it's
time for the train.

- Train.
- You need to go.

Train is here now?

There's a bus going
to the station.

- But it's in four minutes.
- Four minutes?

Four minutes. Go, go, go, go.

- The suitcase.
- Emmanuelle, we haven't even said goodbye.

Stan.

Bye, girls.

Love you. Bye.

Happy Step-Mother's Day.

It's from the three of us.

- Look, he has hair.
- Whoa.

With hair, without hair.

Honestly, we had trouble
finding good pictures of you.

Aw.

- Emmanuelle, three minutes.
- Go, Emma.

Okay, bye. I need
to go. I need to go.

Romy! Thanks again.

Bye.

See you next week.

Bye.

See you soon. Bye.

- See you next week.
- Bye. I already miss you.

Aw.

Are you crying? She
comes back next week.

Let's go.

- I got your text.
- Yeah, actually, I wanted

to talk to you about it
because it's not very clear.

Well, at the same time, it's very clear,
but it's not exactly what I wanted to say.

I might as well say
it face to face.

I love you. There you
go. I really love you.

But now I know it can't work.

And I was really frank and well,
but the message was an accident.

That's what happened.
It says what I think.

But, you know, so...

It doesn't matter.
At least I said it.

And, well...

Wait, you're

not dumping me?

Me?

Nah, of course not.

Oh, come on, we're not going
to sulk all day, are we?

She's going to Brussels. It's an
hour and a half with the train.

She could be going to Sydney...

What if I came
back every weekend?

What?

I could go live in
Brussels during the week

and come back on Friday
at 5 p.m. like normal.

- Great idea.
- That's good. That way,

Emma won't be by herself.

- Exactly.
- Fred, what about your office?

How will you make
money? What will you do?

There should be plenty
of patients over there.

- Yes.
- No problem in Belgium.

- They often dislocate their shoulders.
- What about your patients here?

I think it's the country
with most dislocations.

- Dislocations. (LAUGHS)
- Belgian people are great.

I adore the Brussels.

That's why they're
called Brussels sprouts.

But you have to bring
us fries every Friday.

Let's do it. That's a deal.

- Deal, deal, deal. Of course.
- With lots of mayonnaise.

And ketchup and
mustard and pimento.

- Anything you want.
- You need to hurry.

- You need to go.
- Come on, come on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can do it.

Two minutes.

- See you next week.
- Hurry.

Wait for me. Wait for me.

(ALL LAUGHING)

- Go get her.
- See you next week.

Wait for me, Fred. Wait up.

- FRED: You're staying here.
- STAN: I'll always support you. Forever!

Sorry, stop!

Please stop, please stop.

Please stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop! Please, stop.

Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you so much.

Yes. Thank you so much.

Hey, ticket, please.

I don't have a ticket. The
love of my life is inside.

- I need to talk to her. Please.
- Okay. Make it quick.

Thank you. (SPEAKING FRENCH)

Thank you.

- I wanted to know.
- Yeah?

What's the training like
get to drive the bus?

I'm extremely sorry.

Pardon me.

Emma, I'm going with you.

Absence is to love,

what wind is to flame.

It extinguishes it.

- Actually, it fans it.
- What?

It doesn't extinguish
fire, man. It fans it.

Yes, I know, it fans fire. But
wind extinguishes the flame.

- A flame is more fragile.
- Excuse me.

Who thinks fire is
extinguished by wind?

- Anybody?
- There you go.

- See.
- One, two, three, four.

Yeah, out of around 30 people.

Great. Got them.

That's not the point
here. Love is. Emma is.

Emma?

Emma's not here. I'm sorry.

Pardon me once again.
I'm sorry, everybody.

- So?
- No Emma.

Anyways, it was touching.

Yeah.

- Sorry, sorry.
- Emma? It's Emma.

Look where you're walking.

No, wait. It's not me
who should apologize.

You're not watching where you're
going. You, e-scooter maniac.

- What are you doing here?
- Why are you not on the bus?

I'm going.

- I'm going. I'm going. I'm going.
- I'm staying home.

- We're staying...
- You're going with me?

Excuse me. I'm a bit lost.

- Who's staying, who's going?
- All I know is that he's going.

Go, but not with us.

- I'm going with you.
- But there's no point.

No, I'm staying.
I got on the bus

and realized I really want
to stay here with you.

- What about Brussels?
- But that job is not for me.

With my dissertation, I haven't
been able to think about

what I actually want to
do. I want some action.

I want to, I want to be with
the kids. I want to practice.

- I want screams and all that.
- There will be screaming.

And I've learned that, thanks
to your kids. It's them.

It's them. Vic and her
screaming, Romy and her binky.

Clara and her love woes.
Marie-Ange and her anxiety attacks.

Marie-Ange is not my daughter.

Well, it's the same thing.
My life is with you, Fred.

Here.

I almost forgot.

Did you tell her that we
stopped the bus for her?

Yeah. Yeah.

I think I'll wait
and tell her tonight.

- Nice. But why tonight?
- That works?

- Tell her right now.
- Thank you, Stan.

I asked you to go back home.
I'll see you on Monday.

- Okay. All right. See you Monday.
- Okay?

- Wait, wait, wait. When you say Monday...
- Two o'clock.

- 2:30.
- Because I have an appointment.

Okay, bye.

Did you really stop the bus?

Yeah, but it wasn't
the right one.

It doesn't matter, it's
the thought that counts.

- Yeah.
- Kiss.

- CORA: She stayed for a guy?
- STAN: Yep.

The girl has a perfect job
and she stays for a guy.

We're in 2022 now.

Yes, but let me
tell you something.

Let's see now, the absence of
flame is the fan of love's core.

You know what would be a super
romantic thing to do in Paris?

The two of us on
the docks, picnic.

- Oh, sweet.
- (EXCLAIMING IN JOY)

Oh, I'm so excited.

No, no, no, no, no. The
two of us, two of us.

Two of us as in the two of us.

- See what I'm saying.
- Do you understand?

- You get it? There you go.
- Just him and me.

- There you go.
- So we would leave you

with your moms for a while.
What do you girls think of that?

Hey, we could all go have
chocolate crepes at home.

- (ALL CHEERING)
- No, no, no.

On three, we could run.
One, two, three, go!

Come on. Keep going, keep going.

(FRED EXCLAIMS)

VIC: Get back here!
