Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript

Oh, look, he's alive.

I was getting worried.

I haven't heard a word from Simon

since he got on that
elevator with Jessica.

I thought maybe she shanked him.

As Eddie describes it,
it was very amical.

I mean, the Brits don't
scream and yell like we do.

Seems like Simon's
finally coming up for air.

It says here,

"A new day begins. Looking forward
to looking forward."

See, that just makes
me want to shank him.



What do I do now?

I have no idea how I'm
supposed to be around him.

I mean, he doesn't know
that I know they broke up.

And I know that you know that

he's gonna run to you
and tell you at work.

Okay, but what is the right way

to approach this kind of situation?

I mean, I really feel bad for them both.

It's not like... It's not like I won.

Oh, no, baby, you definitely won.

How do I react when he
tells me that they broke up?

Should I be concerned?

Sympathetic? Respectfully somber?

You act like a human
would act to a human.



The boy just broke up with
his fiancée four days ago.

He'll come to you when he's ready.

- Just play it cool.
- How do I do that?

It's all in the attitude. Sit.

How about we say something
comforting like...

"Hey."

- Hey.
- No.

- Hey.
- No.

- Hey.
- No.

- Hey.
- Zoey.

You know what? I'm just gonna wing it.

- Hey...
- Stop it.

Morning.

Stopping by for a little quality
Dad time on my way to work.

You okay?

Maybe a little tired?

Just write them back

and tell them you have to cancel.

- Cancel what?
- Medici.

They just emailed confirming
our reservation for Friday night.

Same table every year.

Oh, my God, I totally forgot.

It's almost your anniversary.

I think we all forgot.

We've been a little
preoccupied around here.

Why do you have to cancel?
Maybe Dad still wants to go.

You really think he's in any condition

to go out to a restaurant right now?

I don't know, but it's Medici.

Mom and Dad have been celebrating there

for as long as I can remember.

It is a special place, and we've had

a lot of great nights there,
but, um, your father...

Loves their tomato soup.

He could still eat that.

- Howie? What do you think?
- Oh, thank you.

Well, your dad is slowing down,
sleeping more.

But if you guys want to go,
I am happy to help.

See?

- Howie thinks it a good idea.
- That place is tiny.

I mean, you sure his
wheelchair's even gonna fit?

I'll call them and see
if they'll make room,

and if they do, will you guys go?

It's up to your father. I'm happy to do

whatever it is he wants.
What do you think, honey?

Great. You guys don't have
to worry about a thing.

I've got it handled.

What kind of a restaurant
won't accommodate a wheelchair?

This is 2020. How is that even allowed?

Hello? Mr. Michele, where'd you go?

Mr. Michele? Mr. Michele?

Oh, no. Is today really the day?

If you're talking about the day

where I move up to the 6th floor

and no one even looks
up from their computers

to say goodbye, then... yes.

- Today's the day.
- Sorry, I was gonna get you a gift,

like a fancy pen or an
even-fancier mouse.

Well, it's the almost-thought
that counts.

I guess this is goodbye, huh?

I guess so. It's gonna be

really weird not seeing
your face every day.

Yeah. Super weird.

What are we doing?
It's only two floors up.

- Yeah, two floors. That's nothing.
- Yeah.

Yes, what are we doing?

- This is ridiculous. Same elevator.
- Right.

- We're gonna be fine.
- We're fine, yeah. See ya.

I...

- ... will see you later.
- Sorry.

Okay.

Hey...

Aloha, Joan. How was your long weekend?

Oh, you know, typical.

I was at a conference with
a bunch of billionaires

getting tipsy and prank
calling that Theranos woman.

That's wild.
So, I couldn't help but notice

that Leif called in sick
the same days you were gone.

- And?
- And... it's possible

one may have inferred
that you two were...

... canoodling together?

We may have been canoodling
when we felt like canoodling.

Now, can we please stop speaking "Zoey"?

Sorry.

It's just, I thought you said
you were gonna end it with him.

Oh, my God, we did, basically.

It's light and casual.

He's a millennial...
they're apathetic and non-committal.

It's a beautiful thing.

You're not worried he's just
angling for a perk at work.

I am the perk at work.

Why is there oatmeal?

Oatmeal bar?

Whose idea was an oatmeal bar? Glen!

Hey, how are we doing on The Chirp?

Why does it feel so empty in here?

Oh, it's 'cause Max left.
He moved up to the 6th floor.

You let Max go work for Ava?

Ava wanted him and he wanted to go,

Sorry, Joan. I know you and Ava

have had a rivalry over the years.

She's a monster.

Well, if it makes you feel any better,

Max is probably miserable
on the 6th floor anyway.

Hi, I'm Max Richman...

your new manager of engineering.

Please hold your applause till the end.

I got this 7-step process
for effective leadership

that I... I read about online,

that... I think...
it... it could really...

Hey, could I be honest
with you guys? Uh...

I can't believe that Ava
hired me for this job.

I mean, honestly, I'm...
I'm not a better programmer

than any of you. I know that.

But what I really want here
is to foster an environment

where everyone feels like
they are appreciated,

and heard, and valued.

Because you are.

You're the damn 6th floor!

And... and I am lucky
to be a part of your team.

Good morning.

Oh, Simon!

Hey. Hi... there.

Sorry we didn't talk earlier.

- Mm.
- I was in my own world. Uh...

Jessica and I broke up.

No way! Seriously?

That's a terrible surprised face.

Well, I just wanted you to know.

Wasn't your fault.

Jessica and I had
some issues we couldn't resolve.

We fought all the time,
starting way before you and I met.

And at the end of the day,

we just wanted the other
person to be happier.

I'm sure that was really difficult,

and I want you to know

there's zero expectations on my end

and take as much time as you need.

- You wanna have dinner tonight?
- It's not too soon?

No, I think it'd be good

for us to sit down and
really discuss stuff.

Plus, I just moved into my new place,

love for you to see it.

Wow, okay, so, uh...

Just you and me at your new apartment?

Is that okay?

Uh, sure, why not?

Great. See you tonight.

Mo, guess what?

I must've played it real cool

'cause Simon and I
are having dinner tonight

at his new apartment alone.

How about that...

Bro.

How the hell did Max
get a job on the 6th floor?

You think he's hooking
up with Ava Price?

Why would you say that?

Because sleeping with the
boss is the fastest way

to career advancement.
Everyone knows that.

I mean, I'd sleep with Joan if I...

No "if." I'd sleep with Joan.

I mean, I don't think...
sleeping with the boss helps at all.

You know, 'cause theoretically,
the last thing a superior

would want is to seem like
they're playing favorites

Leif, stop talking.

Okay, I just got off the phone

with Danny Michael Davis who is
looking for a progress report

on The Chirp, so where are we?

Better be someplace good.

I'm optimizing this algorithm
for real-time feedback.

Okay, real-time feedback:
you're doing a bad job.

I've designed a data
compression function

to speed up the auditory relay.

Okay. Let's speed up our
fingers on the keyboard,

and get this done.

Guys, I think I'm feeling the need

for one of my famous
inspirational speeches.

You guys suck.

I mean, what am
I supposed to do, like...

♪ I... ♪

♪ I'm so in love with you ♪

♪ Whatever you want to do ♪

♪ Is all right with me ♪

Uh oh.

♪ 'Cause you make me feel ♪

♪ So brand new ♪

♪ And I want to spend my life with you ♪

♪ Let me say since, baby ♪

♪ Since we've been together ♪

♪ Loving you forever ♪

♪ Is what I need ♪

♪ Ooh, baby, let's ♪

♪ Let's stay together, yeah ♪

♪ Lovin' you whether, whether ♪

♪ Times are good or bad,
happy or sad, come on ♪

Yes?

I know that you said that

your relationship with
Leif was purely casual,

but... he is madly in love with you.

What do you mean? That's terrible news.

H-h-how do you know? What did he say?

What were his words exactly?

Well, from what I gathered, he...

is in it for the long haul.
Happy, sad, good, bad.

- Oh, God.
- I want you to be careful

because I know that workplace romances

can get a little dicey.

Sorry to interrupt. Um...

I'm running out. Is 8:00 okay?

Yeah, sure.

Works for me.

Uh, and I just want
you to protect yourself,

'cause you're his boss, and...

hell hath no fury like a Leif scorned.

Hi.

- Hi.
- Ooh.

I'll let myself out.

Hi. Um... I think we need to have a...

- Um, a heart-to-heart.
- Yeah, I'd love to.

But first, before we get to that,

all of Max's files for The Chirp
have been deleted off the Git,

and we can't run the next
phase without his DSP.

Okay, well, go up to
the 6th floor and get them.

No problem. Um...

It's just, I'd need an access card,

and you're the only one who has it,

and, I don't know, I thought
we'd, like, go together.

No. No, no.
Can't... Can't... can't do it together.

D-definitely not, but, um,
here, I've gotta work,

and y-you have your
whole life ahead of you.

- Okay?
- Uh...

Dude, thanks so much
for letting me come with.

I've always wanted to come up here,

ever since they told me I
wasn't allowed to come up here.

Uh, dude, we're kind of on a mission.

Let me touch it again.

What? They get a giant seafood tower,

and we get an oatmeal bar?

I'll be right back.

Leif, what are you doing here?

Well, we can't work on The Chirp

because your config files aren't
in the Git repository anymore.

That's weird.

Must be for security reasons.

Aren't you one of Joan's programmers?

Yes, Ms. Price. Leif Donnelly.

Joan's best programmer.

I'm just here to retrieve
Max's files on The Chirp.

Oh, The Chirp. How's that going?

- Incredible, actually.
- Incredible in what way?

In every way.

The Chirp is going to have
a state-of-the-art user interface,

amazing data visualizations.

We're just scratching the surface

of what it's truly capable of,

and it could be the defining technology

of the next decade.

Max, the files?

Don't give it to him, Max.

- Why not?
- Because he just reminded me

how impressive The Chirp is,
so I texted Danny Michael Davis

and convinced him to let
Floor 6 work on it as well.

So, you texted him
while we were talking?

And now, he's letting your
floor work on it as well?

- That's, um... that sounds like...
- That's right.

It's a bake-off, people!

Max.

You're forbidden from
giving those files to Leif

or anyone else on the 4th floor.

- Okay.
- Dude, what just happened?

- Wow, you look nice.
- Thanks.

I brought you a fern,

because I have no idea
what's appropriate right now

and I thought it seemed
delightfully neutral.

Hmm.

Not bad.

Well, all the apartments
here are pre-furnished.

That's why all my neighbors
are widowers and divorcées.

I do get a lot of nods of
understanding and hugs.

Do you want a glass of wine?

Love a glass of wine.

To looking forward.

To looking forward.

So...

Here we are.

Yeah, we sure are.

I have a teeny bit of bad news.

Then I'll only be a teeny bit worried?

I couldn't find my pasta strainer

so I think I'm gonna have to
use the tennis racquet method.

Isn't that the best way to serve?

- Ooh. Mmm. Yeah.
- Sorry.

I'll be right back.

You make yourself at
home with these magazines

that came with the apartment.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Hey, the spaghetti's gonna
take a few more minutes.

I think I should go.

- But why?
- I... just...

I don't think tonight's the right
night for us to hang out.

Did I do something wrong?

I thought you were
ready for something new

but you are just singing
the same old song.

You just heard your first full reprise.

That's amazing.

If it was "True Colors," maybe,

but why did it have to be "Mad World"?

Because it is a mad world.

Don't you get it, Mo?

After everything we've been through,

all the emotional ground we've covered,

it really seemed like Simon
was finally in a good place.

But nothing's changed.

He's exactly how he
was when we first met.

Look, we tried, but if you ask me

that boy has been nothing
but drama since minute one.

So I think it's high time
you get off the Simon train

and get on with your life.

Or I double down and
I help him even more.

That's funny.

And you're not joking.

I can't desert him, Mo. He needs me.

You know what? I don't need this.

- What are you talking about?
- It is emotionally exhausting

watching you bend over
backwards and forwards

again and again for a man-child

who's clearly unavailable for anything,

so no, I am not about to
help you unravel this mess.

Fine! Don't help me!

I'll unravel it myself.

Normally people at least try my cooking

before they run off like that.

I see you. I hear you.

I'm not saying I handled it well.

Care to tell me what was going on there?

Well, you know that thing about

how I just know how to read you?

I could tell that

you weren't in a place to
focus on us last night.

- You could tell that, huh?
- I could.

I thought I was covering it pretty well.

You weren't.

I really wanted it to be a nice night.

But right before you came over,

my mom called, out of the blue.

I don't think you've ever
mentioned her before.

We don't talk much lately.

Anyway, she called to tell me
that she's getting remarried.

This weekend, in Vegas,
and she wants me to come.

And I'm guessing you're not very happy

for the blushing bride.

I know she's not responsible
for my father killing himself,

but I'm not sure she was
helping matters either.

Their marriage was rough,

but she wasn't very supportive
during some of his darker moments

and now, just like that,
she's moving on.

I feel like I should be defending my dad

or sticking up for him or something.

I don't know if I'm upset or angry.

Or just totally stuck?

I don't mean to be insensitive.

It just feels like we have
been covering this terrain

for a long time now, and...

Suddenly there's a
time limit on grieving.

Zoey, walk with me.

- I'm in the middle...
- It's okay, it can wait.

What's wrong?
Did things go bad with Leif?

It's not about that.
I sent Leif up to the 6th floor

to get the files back from Max,

and now we've been
dragged into a bake-off.

- A bake-off?
- Yes. The first team

to get a working prototype
to Danny Michael Davis

- wins stock options, bonuses...
- All the best assignments.

Access to Danny's underground compound

in the case of nuclear war.

We have gotta get
those files back from Max.

Well, why won't he just give them to us?

We worked on the DSP together.

Well, clearly, because
Ava's got her hooks in him.

- How did she lure him away?
- There was no luring.

Ava wanted him,
he wanted to go, I said okay.

We didn't sign anything, right?
No transfer paperwork?

- No.
- Okay, we have gotta get

those files back from Max.

Can I come too? Please?

I need my access card.

Yo, you guys, there's gonna be
a smackdown on the 6th floor!

Let's go!

Max, you're coming with us.

No, he's staying right here.

What's going on?

You didn't apply for a transfer, Ava.

Max doesn't belong to you.

He doesn't belong to anyone.

Max came upstairs because we value him.

He wants to work with us.

Well, he was with us first,

and you only recruited him
because of his Chirp files.

The fact that Max's work
proved pivotal in the project

was a happy accident and
only reinforces the fact

that I have an eye for talent.

Okay, you're not Simon Cowell.

Uh, give him back.

He's not going anywhere.

Whoa, guys, guys, please!

Doesn't anybody care about what I think?

This is my code.

Which floor I work
on and where I bring it

should probably be my decision.

- I agree with Max.
- Oh, well.

It's not really up to you guys.

Then again, I would hate

for an employee of mine to be unhappy.

So, Max, please,
tell us what you would like.

Yes, tell us.

Well, uh, to be honest,
my first instinct

was to go back to the 4th
floor and give them the code

since that's where it originated.

That's great, Maxie.

Follow your instinct. I taught him that.

But then I realized that nobody
ever really wanted me there.

When I was deciding
whether or not to say,

not one single person from the
4th floor fought to keep me.

Until of course they all
needed something from me,

which is why me and my code

are gonna stay right here on Floor 6.

Oh, well.

- Okay, go, go.
- How did they all get in here?

Why aren't you eating anything?

I'm not hungry.

Hmm.

Mo and I are fighting,

Max is being a total jerk,
and I am so frustrated

with Simon and his daddy issues.
I can't take it anymore.

And don't forget you yelled
at Michele, too.

Michele was wrong.

He could've handled it
better and he knows it.

Well, honey, have you thought about

maybe getting a massage

or taking something to calm you down?

I have been growing a special plant...

I'm fine.

People can just be
infuriating sometimes.

At least you got your anniversary dinner

back on track. That's good news, right?

I know, it's great.

Gonna maybe make up for
the mess I made last year.

What happened last year?

On the way to the restaurant,

I got a speeding ticket.

'Cause we were running
late and I was rushing,

and I just let it ruin
the whole evening.

I'd assumed that next
year would be better.

How could I have known?

Anyway, I would really like to have

just one more lovely night
there after all these years.

Mitch? Honey?

He's aspirating pretty bad.

It's getting harder and
harder for him to swallow.

He only had a few spoonfuls of soup.

Howie, could you go
get some paper towels

and help me clean him up?

Sweetheart, oh, love.

We can't go to that restaurant.

Well, we're the last ones here.

Want to play "Me Tarzan, You Joan"?

Oh, I need to talk to you.

Uh, yeah, what's up? Are you still...

angry about the whole bake-off thing?

Uch, yes. Furious. No, but it's...

this other crazy thing.

Zoey seems to think
you're in love with me.

Isn't that a riot?

God, I mean, how does she...
How did she do that?

'Cause she always knows exactly
what's going on in my head

and I don't know if she's watching
my vlog or something,

- 'cause that's password protected.
- No, no, Leif.

We agreed this was light and fun.

All right, things change. People change.

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing
a cardigan I wore two years ago.

But you kept that one?

Look, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry,

but this can't happen, and it's over.

Is something wrong, sir?

You lost?

Just forgot my lumbar support.

I hate to break it to you,
but your lumbar support

- is actually 4th floor property.
- That's very funny.

Okay, you can have it.

But you should know...

what you did yesterday was really rough.

I was just taking care of me.
Wasn't personal.

When I told you about my powers,
I also told you

that I was gonna be
100% honest with you.

- Do you remember that?
- Mmhmm.

Okay, so here's the truth:

I think it is personal.

I think that you're mad at me.

You are mad at me for not
saying what you wanted to hear,

and now you're trying to
teach me some kind of lesson.

- Oh, is that what you think?
- That's what I think.

Why else would you have
taken the 6th floor's side?

You've been there for
a whopping two days!

I don't know, maybe because people
actually like me on the 6th floor.

Do you know that Ava has said more to me

in those two days than Joan
has in the last five years?

Oh, and it's also a huge opportunity

for me and my career.
Have you ever thought about that?

So you're just gonna leave behind

everybody that helped you get there?
Is that the idea?

See it how you want to see it.

Nobody down here understands
why Ava wanted you

in the first place. Just FYI.

Maybe it's 'cause I'm a good person.

Or a very selfish one.

You are calling me selfish?

Look, I have spent far too much time

worrying about other people's
happiness more than my own,

especially yours.

And I think that it's finally time

I focus on my own happiness
for a change.

So...

Hey, Dad.

Dad?

Are you with me?

Maybe hit your buzzer once if you are.

Okay, how about blinking?

Can you just blink?

Once, if you're here right now?

Okay, yeah.

That seemed like it
took a lot of energy.

Let's not do that again.

Um, but... and I'm just
floating this out there, but,

if you wanted to sing me a heart song,

I'd really love to know
what's going on with you.

Howie! Is something
going on with my dad?

We've had a couple of rough nights, so,

I gave him a sedative.

You what?

How are we supposed
to communicate with him?

I don't have much
time left with my father.

Why would you purposely

make him more out
of it than he already is?

Your mom and I thought he
could use a good night's sleep.

And rob him of some of the
last moments of clarity?

If he could communicate with me
right now I could help him!

But you made that impossible!
It's stupid!

Why would you give him a sedative?!

Could I speak to you
privately for a moment?

We do not speak to people that way

- in our house.
- Maybe we should!

I am tired of everyone acting so...

sweet and polite all the time!

There is nothing
wrong with being polite.

Okay, I'm leaving.

Are you okay? You sounded
really upset on the phone.

How can I help? I'm... oh.

Wait, uh, what is happening?

I don't want to talk.

Lord knows we've done enough talking.

Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm.

Last time we spoke,
you said that I was stuck

and I needed to get over
it or something like that.

Yeah, but Joan pulled me away

before I got to the "get over it" part.

Well, Joan isn't here now, okay?

Just finish your thoughts.

- You really want me to?
- Yeah. Go for it.

Okay.

This endless grieving of yours,

it's boring.

What the hell does that even mean?

It means, aren't you tired of it?

Come on, you must be tired of it.

You've been carrying around
this weight for months and months.

Isn't it time you just...

stopped licking your wounds and move on?

You haven't a clue what
it means to lose someone.

Your father is still here.
He isn't gone yet.

How dare you even judge my grief?

I'm just saying it already
cost you one relationship.

How many more of us are you
gonna bring down with you?

You think you're so perfect, Zoey?

- I don't think I'm perfect.
- You must think you're perfect.

You're the one that has
a trail of destruction

following you everywhere you go.

Matter of fact, word on the street

is that your best friend
moved to the 6th floor

because even he couldn't
deal with you anymore.

Or maybe he might
just be "looking forward."

All you do is look back!
You're a faker, Simon!

You're not happy!
You act like you're so happy!

You can't even be happy
for your own mother!

Okay, I don't know who this person is

that I'm talking to right now,
but I don't like her at all.

Why, because she's telling you things
that you don't want to hear?

No! Because you invited me
here, then you started

making out with me,
then you started ambushing me!

That's some weird, hostile,
manipulative crap,

and I'm not just gonna stand
here all night and take it!

Great.

Great, great, great,
at least you're finally being dec...

Enough!

You two, come with me.

Now.

I said, come on!

How did you hear us fighting?

Child, they heard you in Oakland.

Now listen to me.

We're going to do
the only rational thing

there is to do at this moment,
and I don't want to see

you two holding back
or marking, do you hear me?

I'm not doing this for me.

I'm not the one who woke

Isn't this keeping
up the entire neigh...

Shut up and dance, Zoey!

Feeling any better?

I'm exhausted!

And exhilarated and thoroughly depleted.

So... yeah.

All right.

We said some things
to each other earlier,

things... I wish we hadn't said.

I agree. I'm sorry.

I don't know where
it's coming from, I'm just...

Madder than you've ever been before?

And it scares you how
right-below-the-surface

all this rage is?

And you feel like you have
no control over any of it.

- Yeah.
- Maybe you're not

the only one that can read people, Zoey.

Or, you're super angry right now,

and it's one of the textbook
stages of grief.

And you're furious about
what's going on with your dad,

and you're lashing out at
whoever's in striking distance.

I screamed at a poor maître d'

and our family's sweet caregiver.

Day after my dad died,
I made a Girl Scout cry

because she ran out of Samoas.

- Oh, that's bad, too.
- I know.

Anyway, the anger will dissipate.

Or you'll just channel
it to something else.

Like from your dad to your mom?

You're right.

I'm not angry at my mom.

I'm jealous of her.

She moved past the pain, and the grief.

She found the joy.

I want that, too.

Then go after it.

Maybe it's not as far away as you think.

I don't know.

You have no idea how much
I want this, too.

But not like this.

You deserve someone
who can be fully present

and give you everything.

Can you be patient with me?

I've waited this long, haven't I?

In that case,

I am going to go to Vegas,

gonna see my mom marry a dude

that I've never met before,

and hopefully some of
their joy rubs off on me.

Well, if it doesn't,

you should go to one of
those medieval shows,

because jousting and giant turkey legs

always bring me joy.

Hey.

- Max.
- How are you?

Hey...

is there any room for a
new coder on the 6th floor?

Who'd you have in mind?

Me.

I could be very helpful with creating

a new working prototype for The Chirp.

I mean, it was my idea, after all.

Go on. I'm listening.

Zoey. What, are you playing hooky?

I'm taking the day off to spend

some quality time with my family,

and to grovel for talking
to you the way I did.

It's okay. One of the
hazards of the job,

and at least you were nice
enough not to throw anything.

I'll spare showing you the scars.

- Happy anniversary!
- Thank you.

So, I'm here.

Do we want to do anything special today?

Um, I think we're just
gonna hang out on the couch

and watch some of
our old favorite movies.

And for dinner?

We're just gonna heat up some leftovers.

It's fine.

Can you help me with something?

Looking sharp, my friend.

You ready?

We were able to get our
favorite table after all.
