Louie s04e03 Episode Script

So Did the Fat Lady

Anyway, I do love women very much.
One thing I love about women is that they, um You have to do this when you're talking about how much you love them.
Just I just love them.
Mmm! Love women.
Mm-hmm-hmm Anyway, I do, I I I I love women because I mean, women are the same as men in some ways but they're better at rejecting us than we are, you know? They have the skills, you know, to reject men in a way that we can then not kill them.
That's basically how that works.
But, uh like I saw this couple once on a date, they're walking, and then they stop-- The guy stopped her to talk in the middle of-- Like, "Hey.
" And she's like, "Oh, shit.
" So he goes to kiss her and she does an amazing thing that women somehow learn how to do.
She hugged him very warmly, and men think that this is-- this is affection, but what this is is a boxing maneuver, because your whole-- "Don't kiss me, you piece of shit.
" And he's trying to get distance and It's not gonna happen.
Thanks a lot, you guys, you've been very nice.

Well, you know, the thing is that I'm-- I think I'm just tired.
Oh, my God.
Are you gonna be okay? You should have said something before, man.
I didn't know you were tired.
You-- you better go and get a nappy then.
I'm stupid, I had-- I was-- I was dropped on my head as a child.

Well, you want to try? Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
All right, all right.
This is what we're gonna do.
Tomorrow, we hit the gym.

So the gym tomorrow? You know what? I got a I got a whole bunch of I got stuff to do, I don't think it's a good-- It's not a good day.
Cool.
I wouldn't recommend the sangria, only because it's so delicious, you'll probably end up having lots of sex with each other.
There'll be some scissor fest action here.
Oh, nice.
Some sword-dong fighting and this action.
It's an intimidating city, 'cause I feel like everybody here is better dressed than I am.
Like every time I leave the house, it's picture day and nobody said anything to me, which is-- is painful, because when I was in third grade, I missed picture day because my single dad forgot about it.

Hey.
You on next? Yeah.

Mm-hmm.
Mm-mm-mm Finally, he dies.
I'm being mean-- I love my dad-- but the day he left, closed up the shop, got the hell out of there and I started law school when I was like 28.
So you just broke your promise to the dying man like that? See, here's the thing about dead people.
They're dead.
They don't matter anymore.
Right.
Yeah.
Wow.
Your parents still around? Yeah, yeah.
I never lost anybody to-- Not to dying.
Really, nobody? Yeah, nobody-- Well, my great-grandparents are all dead, all eight of them.
Wow.
Yeah, they actually died on the same day.
They were-- Okay, four of them were on a plane Uh-huh.
and they crashed into the other four, who were in a helicopter.
Wow, it was just like a freak accident.
No, no, they planned it.
- Ahh! - Oh! Damn.
Whoa! I used to play-- I used to, when I was a kid, play street hockey, but I was not-- I was not skilled like these people.
Yeah.
I got my period when I was nine.
Jesus Christ.
Come on, let's go.
Okay.
Let's get it going.
So when I moved here, it was-- it was really hard, you know? I was really scared, I didn't know what I was doing and Uh But you did it.
Yeah.
No, I mean, you did it.
You relocated to New York City on your own.
Yeah.
That's huge.
Yeah.
Thanks, yeah.
I mean, you know, I got-- I have two kids and they're both girls.
Right.
And because they're girls, I need them to have those basic skills, like that's what I feel is Yeah.
the most important thing for me to pass on to them.
If I did my job as a father, it means that they can move to a town, just in a day and get a bank account and an apartment and a job and set themselves up.
And they've left their other town because there was like a crime spree.
Yeah, they murdered a lot-- Too many dead bodies.
Too many people.
That's what I tell my girls all the time.
Always be prepared to bleach your hair and change your name and start over again.
I think that's the way you live a life.
Oh.
What's the matter? I got a penny.
All right.
Good luck for me, not for you, sorry.
Why good luck for you? "See a penny, face heads up, all day long you'll have good luck.
" Well, 'cause it rhymes that's supposed to be true? 'Cause it rhymes? Yeah.
"See a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck.
" You make up a rhyme.
Make up a rhyme? Yeah.
All right.
Um If you see a dog with a fuzzy face you'll never go to outer space.
Is that true? Tell me that's not true.
Yeah, it's sad.
It's sad, isn't it? Oh, really sad.
With a furry face.
It's a known If they didn't call it "dating," you know? Something about the word "dating," it makes it worse for me.
Yeah? What would you call it? "Trying," maybe? Like, try-- "I've been trying this girl.
" "I'm going out on a try with this-- with this dude.
" Everybody's just trying.
Yeah.
Not bad.
I mean, I would still-- I would still hate it.
Well But Try dating in New York in your late 30s as a fat girl.
Well, you're not-- I mean-- Don't.
You're not fat.
Oh, dammit.
That is so goddamn disappointing, Louie.
You-- you're-- no, you're not.
You're not, I mean-- Louie.
Do you know what the meanest thing is you can say to a fat girl? "You're not fat.
" I mean, come on, buddy.
I'm sorry.
It just sucks.
Oh, it really, really sucks.
You have no idea.
And the worst part is, I'm not even supposed to do this.
Do what? Tell anyone how bad it sucks, because it's too much for people.
I mean, you, you can talk into the microphone and say you can't get a date, you're overweight, and it's adorable.
But if I say it, they call the suicide hotline on me.
I mean, can I just say it? I'm fat.
It sucks to be a fat girl.
Can people just let me say it? It sucks! It really sucks.
And I'm gonna go ahead and say it, it's your fault.
Look.
I really like you.
You're truly a good guy, I think.
So sorry.
I'm picking you.
On behalf of all the fat girls, I'm making you represent all the guys.
Why do you hate us so much? What is it about the basics of human happiness, you know? Feeling attractive, feeling loved? Having guys chase after us, that's just not in the cards for us.
Nope, not for us.
How is that fair? And why am I supposed to just accept it? You know, Vanessa, you're a very, really beautiful Come on.
If I was a "very, really beautiful," then you would have said yes when I asked you out.
I mean, come on, Louie.
Be honest here.
You know what's funny? I flirt with guys all the time.
And I mean, the great-looking ones, like the really high-caliber studs they flirt right back, no problem.
Because they know their status will never be questioned, but guys like you never flirt with me, because you get scared that maybe you should be with a girl like me.
And why not? You know if you were standing over there looking at us, you know what you'd see? What? That we totally match.
We're actually a great couple together.
And yet, you would never date a girl like me.
That's not true.
Yes, it is.
That's-- No, it's--Yes.
It's-- It is.
Have you ever dated a girl that was heavier than you? Yes, I have.
Have you? Yes, I have.
No, no, no.
I have.
No, no, no, no.
I didn't say, "Have you ever fucked a fat girl, Louie?" I'm sure you have, every guy has.
I mean, when I met you, if I had said, "Hey, you wanna go to the back room and screw on a big can of peaches?" You would have gone for it.
No.
I'm saying, have you ever dated a fat girl? Have you ever kissed a fat girl? Have you ever wooed a fat girl? Have you ever held hands with a fat girl? Have you ever walked down the street in the light of day holding hands with a big girl like me? Go ahead.
Hold my hand.
What do you think's gonna happen? You think your dick's gonna fall off if you hold hands with a fat girl? You know what the sad thing is? That's all I want.
I mean, I can get laid.
Any woman who is willing can get laid.
I don't want that.
I don't even need a boyfriend or husband.
All I want is to hold hands with a nice guy and walk and talk Huh, huh? Okay? Huh? That's good, right? You caught on.
Huh? Takes you a little-- a little while.
You want to hear a joke? Sure.
All right, after everything I say, you say-- you say, "So did the fat lady.
