Younger (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - The Boy with the Dragon Tattoo - full transcript

After a bedbug scare forces Liza into some uncomfortable and illuminating sleeping arrangements, she struggles to close the deal on her first literary find.

This is the last time
I spend good money on a new mattress.
This is the last time
They weren't even in the apartment,
This is the last time
Just the building.
This is the last time
Are you sure that you--
This is the last time
We shared a wall with bedbugs!
This is the last time
They're too small.
This is the last time
By the time you know you have them, it's too late.
This is the last time
Did you hear about that guy?
This is the last time
He started with all the itching, and then he got an infection--
This is the last time
Right, and then he had his hand cut off.
This is the last time
You heard that story?
This is the last time
Yes, but it's an urban myth.
This is the last time
But i agree. I agree.
This is the last time
Don't take any chances.
This is the last time
The exterminator comes in one hour.
This is the last time
I am going to stay at my cousin's in riverdale.
This is the last time
When she steals her kids' ritalin,
This is the last time
She's really fun.
This is the last time
So i'll see you kids in two days.
This is the last time
Good luck.
This is the last time
Ugh!
Oh, you're looking at me like i have cooties.
Ugh!
You don't, do you?
Ugh!
No, the bedbugs were most definitely
Ugh!
Not in our apartment.
Ugh!
I am completely bedbug free.
Ugh!
Well, we'll see about that.
Ugh!
I'm gonna have to do a thorough physical examination.
Ugh!
Are you sure your roommates won't mind if i stay?
Ugh!
No, of course not. They love you.
Ugh!
But you should probably take a really hot shower
Ugh!
And shave off all your body hair before you come over.
Ugh!
All of it.
You wish.
All of it.
- I'm serious. - Come on, dude.
(woman) ¶ running, running, running, running, running behind ¶

How did this happen?
[laughs]
Joanne from my book clu--uh, the--
[laughs]
I mean, that suburban book club
[laughs]
Must have started a campaign.
[laughs]
There's, like, over 100 of these.
[laughs]

[laughs]
This is real.
[laughs]
We have to tell charles.
[laughs]
So i need those ppbs on my desk
By the end of the week.
So i need those ppbs on my desk
That's all i have. Any other business?
So i need those ppbs on my desk
As a matter of fact, our very own liza miller
So i need those ppbs on my desk
Found a book in the slush pile,
So i need those ppbs on my desk
And it's suddenly getting a lot of attention.
So i need those ppbs on my desk
Really?
So i need those ppbs on my desk
How's that?
So i need those ppbs on my desk
Well...
This book is incredible.
Well...
It's an epic, multigenerational tale
Well...
Of this southern family.
Well...
I had an inkling it might play well
Well...
In the suburban book club crowd,
Well...
So i sent it to one.
Well...
After we agreed upon that strategy.
Well...
E-exactly.
Well...
I feel it's always good to keep a finger
Well...
On the suburban pulse.
Well...
Yes, she does.
Well...
Anyway,
Well...
As it turns out, they loved it.
Well...
They raved about it on goodreads,
Well...
And then other suburban book clubs started to read it,
Well...
And now there's actually a campaign
Well...
To get us to publish it.
Well...
The book is called the scarf,
Well...
And people have been sending in their scarves
Well...

Yes, the scarf is a compelling read.
Oh, you must be meredith.
But it was more compelling
Oh, you must be meredith.
The first time it was published,
Oh, you must be meredith.
As the babushka.
Oh, you must be meredith.
I'm sure i don't know what you're talking about.
What are you talking about?
I'm sure i don't know what you're talking about.
The babushka by anna cleveman daniels,
I'm sure i don't know what you're talking about.
A little-read book written back in the '80s
I'm sure i don't know what you're talking about.
About a jewish family
I'm sure i don't know what you're talking about.
Chronicling their five generations
I'm sure i don't know what you're talking about.
And the babushka they passed down.
I'm sure i don't know what you're talking about.
I haven't heard of that book, so...
I'm sure i don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, really?
Perhaps i can refresh your memory.
"the severity often differs,
Perhaps i can refresh your memory.
"even the location of the wound.
Perhaps i can refresh your memory.
"but what's never changed is the fact
Perhaps i can refresh your memory.
"that he was a russian cossack.
Perhaps i can refresh your memory.
"and my grandfather, the boy who saved his life,
Perhaps i can refresh your memory.
Was the shtetl bugler."
Perhaps i can refresh your memory.
(kelsey) oh, my god.
Perhaps i can refresh your memory.
That's the same first line,
Only more ethnic.
That's the same first line,
Shall i continue?
Do you mean the whole thing is--
Shall i continue?
A total rip-off. The story's exactly the same.
Shall i continue?
Is this true?
Shall i continue?
Uh, well, i, um...
Shall i continue?
Uh...
Shall i continue?
Oh, all right, you know what?
I'm sorry.
Oh, all right, you know what?
I was desperate.
Oh, all right, you know what?
I have written 13 novels.
Oh, all right, you know what?
I have tried every genre under the sun:
Oh, all right, you know what?
Fairy tales, romance, vampire porn.
Oh, all right, you know what?
And then i just happened upon a box with some old books
Oh, all right, you know what?
In a storage closet in the school library,
Oh, all right, you know what?
And there it was.
Oh, all right, you know what?
The babushka.
It has been out of print for years.
The babushka.
So i thought if i put my own family history in it,
The babushka.
Doesn't that count for something?
The babushka.
We can't make a deal
On a book that's been plagiarized.
We can't make a deal
Liza? Kelsey? How'd this happen?
We can't make a deal
We used all the normal search protocols.
We can't make a deal
Well, thankfully, i dug deeper.
We can't make a deal
This could have been a problem.
So, diana, i am thankful.
This could have been a problem.
Well, you're welcome, charles.
This could have been a problem.
I apologize for letting my assistant
Get off her leash like that.
I apologize for letting my assistant

I apologize for letting my assistant

Well, i think we're done here.
Better luck next time.
Cancel her car service.
I'll be in my office if you need me.
Cancel her car service.
I'm sorry.
It's just, you start to lie,
I'm sorry.
And then slowly but surely,
I'm sorry.
It takes on a life of its own.
I'm sorry.
It's like you almost begin to believe it.
I'm sorry.
I wouldn't expect you to understand.
I'm sorry.
I understand more than you could know.
I'm sorry.
Was she serious about the car service?
I'm afraid so.
Was she serious about the car service?
Oh, shit.
Was she serious about the car service?

Oh, come on, now. Don't be so hard on yourself.
- Hey. - Hey.
It's not like your lie is hurting anybody.
- Hey. - Hey.
