Platonic (2023) s02e07 Episode Script

1
[footsteps approaching]
Sweetie, it's not 7:00 yet.
Can we snuggle, Mama?
Okay.
[groans]
Why is there a spaceship in our backyard?
Hmm? Aw, sweetie, you're just dreaming.
No. I wasn't dreaming.
- There's something in our backyard.
- Hmm?
- [Charlie grunts]
- Look.
- [Sylvia sighs]
- Well, that's a new development.
["Carried Away" playing]
Sophia is, like, a super toxic presence,
and she's turning the entire friend group
against each other,
but whenever I try to talk to Olivia,
Vivienne and Addie about it
they get so competitive…
Hey, hon, have you thought about
approaching Sophia directly
with honesty and love?
Dad's using his therapy language again.
Well, if you communicate
your needs clearly,
but from a place of love,
it's often all the other person requires.
- You haven't met Sophia.
- She's a total bitch.
Frances. She is a bitch, though.
Sophia's so hot.
You'll find, Simon,
those things often go hand in hand.
Well, maybe Sophia needs therapy.
It has really helped me.
I'm back into the swing of things at work,
and that is all thanks to your mom
who encouraged me to go.
Does therapy, like, de-bitchify people?
[whispers] I don't think so.
[Will] Yeah. [chuckles]
Oh, my God!
- Bro, no way.
- [guest chuckles]
Who's that? What's happening?
[Sylvia] Uh, that's just, um,
you know, adult things.
We'll just give them their privacy.
- Slay.
- Nobody says that anymore, Simon.
She has beautiful hair.
Hey, hon… [clears throat]
…can you walk me to the car?
- I have to make Maeve's lunch. I'm…
- It'll just take a second.
[softly] Okay.
[Charlie sighs]
Babe, Will is gonna be out of here
so soon. I promise.
Good. Good. I'm glad that we're
aligned on that because,
just to say my truth out loud, clearly,
and with love,
- I want him gone.
- Yeah. I want him gone too. With love.
- Okay. All right. [clears throat]
- All right.
Oh, a-also… Also, um,
I was hoping that you… [inhales deeply]
…could come to my next therapy session
with me.
Oh. Yeah. Okay.
There's some stuff
that I want to talk to you about,
and I think that it could be fruitful
to do that with my therapist there.
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- Good. Good.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Great. Thank you. Okay.
All right.
Just, uh… just so I'm prepared,
is there anything, like,
I should be thinking about?
Like, you know, with love,
like, headlines? Anything like that?
Oh, yes. Sorry. I completely, um,
foregrounded my perspective there.
No, it is nothing big.
It's just some structural stuff as it
relates to our family work-life balance
and my role in things
as it relates to your role in things
and some possible negative feedback loops.
- Hmm.
- Conversation that's long overdue.
Yeah. Great.
- All right. Love you.
- Love you.
[door closes]
Okay. I hear you loud and clear.
I will find somewhere else to live.
- Look, I'm literally looking as we speak.
- Okay. Good. Yeah.
I don't know what you were thinking,
parading all your sexual conquests
out there in front of the kids.
So, you know, you did this to yourself.
It was one woman,
and she was not a conquest.
- I didn't conquer her.
- Well…
I didn't lay siege to her
so she would have sex with me.
She was a willing participant in that.
Okay. Well, whatever.
Can you just clean this place up?
[stammers] It's a sex den back here.
Don't shame my sex bed.
Okay, you know what?
Your house, your rules.
Just let me know
when you find an apartment.
And can you use a coaster
for your coffee, please?
- Okay. I will. Yeah, cool.
- For your coffee cup.
- Please, just use a c… please, please.
- Yeah, uh-huh.
- Stop. All right, can you just…
- Yeah. All right.
If you cared about this table,
it would not be in the ADU.
It'd be in the real house
with your real shit.
- I look after my guests.
- Yeah.
Oh. That's right. I, um…
uh, was just wondering.
Did you and Jenna ever see
a couples therapist?
No. Me and Audrey went
to a couples therapist one time
and it was catastrophic.
They told me it was a safe space,
so I admitted that I philandered one time,
and now I am divorced
and living in your ADU.
So, I would say it didn't go well.
Yeah. I can see that's like a high-risk,
high-reward kind of confession.
I'd say it's a high-risk,
no-reward confession, if I'm being honest.
Why? Are you and Charlie…
Everything… Everything good there?
Oh, yeah. Just…
a friend was asking me so I'm just…
[stammers] …taking a poll for her.
Oh.
Friend asked you to take a poll
of your friend group
to decide whether or not
they should go to couples therapy?
- Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.
- Great. Totally makes sense.
Okay. I'm gonna go
take the kids to school.
Oh. Uh, actually, could I, uh…
could I tag along?
[gasps] You wanna see my kids' school?
No. I'm meeting Katie there.
She's gonna help me
set up a dating profile.
Oh, right.
- So I can continue my conquests.
- Oh.
The therapy was just supposed to be
helpful for him to get over Jeopardy!
Not become a full-on autopsy
of our marriage.
[Katie] That's how therapy works.
Joe went for his fear of flying.
Six months later,
we were filing for divorce.
Therapy is like going
to the doctor with a cold,
and they tell you
you have stage four cancer.
- I don't think it's that bad…
- It's gonna be bad.
You think he's having you come in because
he's so satisfied in your marriage?
I mean, he probably wants to
either leave the marriage…
Oh, or he might wanna bring someone
into the marriage. Or he might be gay.
- I get it.
- He might have a hidden family somewhere.
Or he might have money hidden somewhere.
That one's good, that's very popular.
- Or he might have given you syphilis.
- Let's… Let's… Let's move on.
Okay. How's it going
at La Cienega Haciendas?
I couldn't get it.
So I'm sticking with the Sheraton.
It's boring, and grim,
and it won't wow anybody but, uh,
it's the only place that can accommodate
that many lawyers.
Yo. The bathrooms
in this place are fucking tiny.
It's so weird. The urinal is, like,
two inches off the ground.
Because you were in
the kindergarteners' bathrooms.
Oh. That explains why there was piss
covering literally every single surface.
- Don't ask, don't get. Oh!
- [squeals] Thanks, girl!
My little phrase is kind
of taking off on the schoolyard.
"Don't ask, don't get."
- Yeah. It means don't ask, don't get.
- [Will] Ah.
Boss Mama Industries is in high-level
talks with makeyourowntshirts.com
to get it on some merch.
You mean you emailed a T-shirt company?
"Don't ask, don't get."
- I really like that.
- [Katie] Thank you.
- 'Cause if you don't ask, you won't get.
- Won't get.
- But if you ask, you might get.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. You're really…
You're encouraging this?
I'm just saying, it's smart.
She's got a lot of wisdom to offer.
- She helped me with my dating profile.
- Thank you!
- It's so much better. Check it out.
- Let me see the profile.
- [Will] Yeah.
- Okay. Love. Love. So cute.
- Those are easily 15 years old.
- [Will] Yep.
It's fine. Everyone does that.
Here, look at mine.
There's a Gore-Lieberman sign
in the back of that.
- Oh, shoot. I should photoshop that out.
- You look good though.
- Hi, everyone!
- [Sylvia] Hey, Diane.
- The podcast turned out great.
- [gasps] Oh, thanks, Diane.
What I really liked about it was
how it was totally free-form.
Like you were just coming up with what
to talk about right there on the spot.
- Aw, thanks.
- Diane, Will is looking for an apartment.
- Oh! Oh.
- It's true. Yeah. I am.
Uh, any must-haves? Any particular
neighborhood you wanna be in?
Nope. No must-haves. No neighborhood.
Literally anywhere.
- I wouldn't say literally anywhere, but…
- No. Anywhere.
If it has a roof, and it's empty,
and it's not my ADU, he'll take it.
You make me sound
like I'm a serial killer. [chuckles]
The only thing is
he's a little bit price-challenged.
Yeah. I can see that.
- This shirt cost $400.
- And that is why he's broke.
I will get your information
and circle back.
- Great.
- In the meantime, I gotta run.
I'm showing a Venice Beach duplex
to a celebrity who I can't name,
but it rhymes with "Schmarlize Theron."
- [gasping]
- [Sylvia] Ooh.
[Diane] Bye-bye!
She didn't even bother to change
the "Theron" part of her name.
Fat cats always get lazy. Too much cream.
Who's Schmarlize Theron?
Is it Charlie Sheen?
No. She won the Oscar for "Schmonster".
Halle Berry? Oh, that's
Schmonster's… [stammers] …Ball.
So, it's pretty no frills,
- as you can see, but…
- Yeah.
…the landlord is a real sweetheart.
And he's an ex-con like yourself.
I'm not an ex-con.
[chuckling] Oh, no.
My apologies. I just got that sense.
- Great, thanks.
- Remind me what you do?
I'm a brewer, actually.
I used to be pretty high up at Johnny 66.
- Oh, fabulous.
- Yeah.
This place is fine.
I'm actually looking
for a commercial space,
to open a little bar,
if you know of anything.
- Cool. Yeah. Really nice.
- [Diane] Nice, isn't it?
So, it's a historic space
originally built in 1922,
and this patio, which is included,
is fully licensed for outdoor dining.
- Wow. That's amazing.
- Fun fact.
- It was once used as an internment camp.
- [Will] Wow.
[Diane] Exposed brick,
two ADA-compliant restrooms,
a roof deck, a lot of foot traffic,
easy access to LA Live
and the Arts District.
Honestly, comparable product is going
for more than twice as much a month.
This place is a real unicorn.
Yeah. This monthly rate. Is that accurate?
- Yes, it is.
- Why is it so cheap?
It used to be Russell Brand's
vegan lounge.
Oh. [sniffs]
That's why it smells like hummus
and sexual assault accusations.
- Yeah. Real bad guy.
- Yeah.
- Oh, wow.
- Look at that view.
Yeah. Honestly, this would be the
perfect place for my shitty little bar.
Your what now?
My bar. Yeah.
Well, shall I draw up some paperwork?
I'd love to say yes, but I…
Honestly, I need an apartment more,
and I don't think
I can afford both. [chuckles]
All right. I've got your phone number.
I'll keep tabs on it for you.
- You'd do that for me?
- Sure.
Thanks.
Hell of a view.
[Diane] Even better at sunset.
[news reporter speaking on television]
What is Freddie's mom doing here?
[Frances] Oh, my God.
[Sylvia] Diane?
- [Frances] Oh, my God. [laughs]
- Hi.
Nice to see you.
You too. Hi, kids.
Do you want some coffee?
No, thanks. Bye.
[Frances laughing]
[Simon] What? What is it? What?
[stammers] It's nothing.
It's nothing, Simon.
- What's so funny?
- [Frances chuckles] Oh, my God.
[Charlie] Nothing.
[Simon] What?
- [Frances chuckles]
- [sighs deeply]
It's clearly something.
- [Charlie] Well, it's not.
- Yeah, it is.
What the fucking fuck?
What did I just tell you?
First of all, whoa. Okay.
I was just doing exactly
what you wanted me to do.
I was looking for a new place to live.
At first Diane was showing me
new apartments,
and then she segued
into showing me her naked body.
Diane is from my world. You understand?
No. What the fuck does that mean?
Your world?
- It means that you met her through me.
- So?
Inevitably, this is gonna get messed up.
It'll backfire on me.
Okay, a person from my world
is forbidden to you.
What is this? Avatar?
She's a grown-ass lady,
with a grown-ass lady haircut,
and a grown-ass lady beige power suit,
and she can make her own decisions.
And we had consensual sexual activities,
or as I will now call it,
"consexual" activities.
I don't even get
why you're getting mad at me. You know?
You know I have absolutely
no willpower here. [sighs]
Apparently, you still have some willpower.
Nice.
Look, when Diane was
showing me apartments,
she actually showed me a place that
would be perfect for a shitty little bar.
It's kind of like a unicorn.
The whole thing is,
I can't afford the bar space
- and a new apartment…
- No. No, no, no, no, no. No.
Absolutely not, okay?
I don't wanna hear it.
- Charlie wants you out. I need you out.
- Yeah. Okay.
How did this even happen with her?
I'll tell you,
but I'm gonna warn you first.
- It might make you uncontrollably horny.
- I'll put all your shit in a duffel bag,
- and I'm gonna throw you out…
- Okay. Okay. Look…
She was showing me apartments
and we just kind of hit it off.
And then she invited me to this, like,
fancy, like, supper club place.
The La Cienega "Hacienegas"
or some shit like that.
And she just spent so much money on me.
I felt guilty.
I felt like I owed it to her to bang her.
She turned me out.
Diane's a member of La Cienega Haciendas?
Yeah. It was very bougie. Very fancy.
People kept saying Harry Styles was there,
but I think it was just, like,
another balding guy in a dress.
That's where I wanted to throw
Charlie's office party,
- but they were such bitches there.
- Oh, yeah. They're very bitchy there.
But it was kinda thrilling,
how bitchy they were.
It's intoxicating.
They made me hate myself.
- They're pretty cool.
- [sighs]
If I'd had known sooner that Diane
was a member, I would've asked her.
You have to know a member
to throw an event.
I didn't know I knew a member.
You know a member who knows my member.
Good.
- It's not too late.
- Yeah, it is.
Hey. Don't ask, don't get. It's true.
I'm way too low-status on the schoolyard
to ask Diane for a favor.
I could ask, therefore, I could get.
- Really?
- Yeah. Come on. I got an in.
- And out, and in, and out, and in.
- Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
But even if she said yes,
I've got two days to, like,
reorganize the whole thing,
- tell everyone it's a different location.
- Oh, my God.
You'll have to send an Evite
to people that tells them
it's at one address
instead of the other address,
and it takes two seconds
to fucking do that. Come on!
You deserve to have your event
at the La Cienega Haciendas.
Fuck the Sheraton.
Do you want me to ask her or what?
It's literally
a shitty fucking laminate table.
It's not even wood.
Hey.
Oh, no. What are you doing here?
- This isn't a thing, is it?
- No. It's not a thing.
- Because that was very explicitly…
- No, it's not… Okay.
- …a one-night stand.
- I know. I know.
- Why does every man get obsessed with me?
- I'm not obsessed with you, okay?
- [chuckles] Sure you aren't.
- I'm not.
Listen, it was fun slumming it one time,
but I am never going to Sylvia's
shitty backhouse again.
Okay. Easy there, Tom Wolfe.
I just have one favor to ask you,
and if you do it,
- you never have to see me again.
- What are you doing tonight?
- What?
- Nothing. Never mind.
Are you free tonight?
What?
- Will you do me a favor or not?
- Let's hear it.
The La Cienega Hacien… das.
Excuse me. Um, can you make sure
to clear this space completely?
As I requested yesterday. Just so
there's enough room for all the guests.
It's just that's not under our purview,
because we're not equipped
to do the moving.
- So I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
Yeah. I requested this
all before I arrived.
I know, and I'm sorry.
Yeah.
[imitates employee] Um, you have to
complete this request as per the contract,
otherwise I get my deposit back.
So I'm sorry.
But I'm a lawyer
and this event is for lawyers,
if you catch my drift. So, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
- [employees grunting]
- [employee 1] Who is that?
- Sylvia, you are a goddess.
- Yes. [chuckling]
I don't know how you pulled it off.
Dua Lipa was literally here last week.
Just one question.
Where is everyone going to sit?
Yeah. The chairs should be
delivered shortly.
I'm not sure what the holdup is.
I'll, uh… I'll find out.
Great. Well, I'm going to go
take selfies literally everywhere.
- Okay. Have fun.
- [employee 1] I'm trying, okay?
[employee 2] This sucks.
[agent] High Society Rentals.
How may I help you?
Oh, hi. This is Sylvia Greeves.
I was just wanting to inquire
about a delivery that I'm waiting on.
Oh, my God. This is a disaster.
The rental company delivered
the chairs to the Sheraton.
And they won't pick them up
and bring them here.
I should never have punched
above my pay grade.
Turns out I'm not a fancy
La Cienega Haciendas lady.
I'm just a basic Sheraton bitch.
Hey. Don't you say that about yourself.
I smell like chlorine and conference rooms
and business trip affairs.
It's the universe telling me that.
Don't you just need
a bunch of folding chairs?
No. This is bigger than that.
[sighs] I'm trying to impress Charlie
and prove to him
that I take my job seriously.
Okay. Look, the Lucky Penny guys,
they have a truck.
They'll let me borrow it. I can
help you out with these chairs, all right?
- Oh, my God. Are you sure?
- Yes.
You're letting me crash in your ADU
for free.
- It's the least I can do.
- Aw, buddy. Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
Also, I kind of need something
to distract me.
I got, uh, five slaps on Snurf
and I'm freaking out a little bit.
What's Snurf?
It's this new dating app
where if you match with someone,
you send each other postcards
for two weeks,
then if you agree to meet IRL,
you are guaranteed to fuck.
- Ew.
- Yeah. It's gross.
All right. You owe me for this.
- You live at my house.
- That's true.
Yeah.
[horns honking]
- [phone chiming]
- Shit. Oh, no.
- [Will] What?
- [sighs]
It's too late. I'm not gonna be able
to make Charlie's therapy.
Charlie's therapy?
Yeah, Charlie asked me to go
to therapy with him,
but the party setup took over
the whole afternoon so I…
- Oh, well.
- "Oh, well"?
Charlie wants to talk to you in therapy.
That's gotta be something, like,
pretty important, right?
Yes, I know.
But, like, what am I gonna do?
I-I can't get there.
He's gotta understand.
You can't miss Charlie's therapy.
What if this is what he wants
to talk to you about?
How you don't prioritize his needs
or something like that.
Look at this traffic. Okay?
And we have a whole van of chairs
in the back that…
Okay. Look, I'll drop you off
at Charlie's therapy
- then I'll drop off the chairs myself.
- No. No, you don't understand the club.
- You don't know the contact at the club.
- So give me the contact.
- You need the badge ID.
- Give me the badge!
- And it's a password ID.
- I don't care. That is…
You're just making up excuses
so you don't have to go.
Of course I am! What do you expect?
I'm-I'm terrified.
I don't know what he's gonna say to me.
Why can't he just say it to my face
instead of having
some weird chaperone there?
[sighs] You said that therapy
ended your marriage.
No. Being in a terrible marriage
ended my marriage.
Well, maybe that's what
Charlie's gonna tell me.
I don't think so. You guys fuck a lot.
Well, I'm not gonna go. I'm not gonna go.
I don't wanna go. You can't make me go.
- We're too late anyway.
- We're not.
- We can't get to Burbank.
- We got 15 minutes to get there.
I know these alleys
like the back of my hand. Okay?
Fuck. I hate it when you're nice
and you're right too. I hate it.
You must be pretty mad all the time.
'Cause I'm a nice, right dude.
["Elephant" playing]
- [Sylvia] Nice.
- [Will] Right?
Okay. Bit tight squeeze here, but…
[scraping]
- Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, no. No!
- [yells] Fuck. Shit!
Shit.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
- Come on. Come on. Come on!
- No! We're stuck.
- Look, look, look. Just you go.
- Call an Uber. I'll deliver the chairs.
- How are you gonna get out?
Don't worry about that.
You've got a marriage to save.
- Go! Go!
- Sure?
- I'm sure. Just go.
- All right. I'm on my way.
- I'm on my way.
- Okay.
- Oh. I'm stuck.
- Fuck.
- Can't go… I'm not going anywhere.
- Roll down the window.
- Climb out the window. Go! Go!
- Are you sure?
I'm positive. Just go!
You got it! Go!
H-How much longer till we get there?
Twenty-five minutes.
- [phone chiming]
- [sighs]
- [Charlie] Hi.
- Hi, hon.
[groans] I'm stuck in traffic, of course.
Um, just a few minutes away.
Um, can I join you via FaceTime?
Sure. I'll call you.
Okay.
She's stuck in traffic.
[phone rings, beeps]
Hi, I'm so sorry, babe.
I'm just stuck in this terrible traffic.
But, um, you know, let's just pretend
that I'm there in the therapist's office
and yeah, we can talk.
Sylvia, you're a panda.
[sighs] Sorry. I don't know
how to turn this off.
I-I really… I'm… [stammers]
I'm sorry, this is so annoying.
I-I just… I can't…
[sighs] Oh, fuck. I… I don't know how to…
Am I still a panda?
- You're still a panda.
- Okay. Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
I gotta… Um… Uh…
- How about now?
- Now you're a chicken.
[groans] Okay, I… Just… I'm so sorry.
It's so annoying, but let's just continue.
Let's just continue and talk.
You know what, I am not accepting
an apology from a chicken.
Hello? Hello?
- [sighs]
- That was great.
I'm proud of you. Solid boundary.
Thank you.
Fuck! Sorry.
- [driver] It's okay. It's fine.
- No, it was too loud. I'm sorry.
- [driver] You're good.
- I apologize.
[engine revs]
[revving continues]
- Come on.
- [grinding]
Ah! Fuck.
Ooh, shit.
[grunting] That's how that sounds.
[grunts]
Okay.
Oh, I see you, little bastard.
- Get it!
- [engine revving, tires screeching]
- [shutter clicking]
- [Will] What the fuck?
Don't look at me.
Little fucker. I'll get you next time!
[pants] Oh, my God. I'm so sorry I'm late.
I, uh… My friend Will had this crazy idea
to move the party across town
and, um… I apologize. [chuckles]
Yes, I've heard of Will.
Oh. [chuckles] You know who Will is?
Anyway, um, I'm here, so, uh,
we can discuss what's going on.
[therapist] Why don't we
take a few minutes first
to explore the real reason
that you were late?
What is it that you are avoiding?
Uh, I-I'm not the one in therapy.
[chuckles]
Why are you avoiding talking
about the real reason you were late?
What was that?
Why are you avoiding talking
about the real reason you were late?
I'm not avoiding anything.
You literally "chickened" out.
[Sylvia] Okay.
- Charlie, what-what's going on here?
- [inhales deeply]
- Is this…
- Okay. Okay.
- [clears throat] Sylvia.
- Yep.
- I've been doing the work…
- Unfortunately, we're out of time.
And I have another client coming in.
Okay. [clears throat] Thank you.
Thank you for your time.
- Of course.
- Thank you. [clears throat]
[Charlie sighs]
See? There's no client.
He obviously could have
kept talking to us.
This is not Dr. Melfi's fault.
His name is literally Dr. Melfi?
- Yes.
- [scoffs]
- Dr. Melfi. Why?
- What?
[chuckles] Okay.
Look… [stammers] …I just think
if he really cared about you,
he would have let us stay.
You didn't want to be here.
What… That's not it at all, babe.
No. No, no. I did.
You were late to therapy,
just like you were late to Jeopardy!
You are late for everything.
You know, the one time I needed you
to be there, you were off with Will.
- Just like you were off with Will today.
- Babe, I…
I'm… I shouldn't have changed
the party venue at the last minute.
I was just trying to do something
extra special for your firm and for you.
And, in retrospect, it was a dumb idea,
and I am so sorry. Really.
And I am here now, and let's talk about
whatever it is you want to talk about.
Babe, I know.
And I shouldn't have booked this
for the same day as the firm party.
Do not worry about it.
I know you have a lot on your plate.
Okay, but we could…
Oh.
Didn't have a client. I knew it.
Why is it, uh, so important to you
that I didn't have a client?
Well, why were you untruthful
about having a client?
Do you feel you don't deserve
to go biking?
Like you're running away from something
instead of confronting it?
How do you know
I'm not biking to a client right now?
Because that would be insane. [chuckles]
Okay.
Do not diagnose me. Okay?
'Cause you're not remotely qualified.
Great session. I'll see you next week.
Yep. Thank you.
- Thank you for coming.
- Okay.
- He's good.
- How… How is your first year going?
So, you guys said you've worked here
about, like, three years, you said?
How long have you worked here for?
Uh, what's that lip color you're wearing?
- It's nice.
- I don't know.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Looks great in here.
- Aw, thanks.
- Did you make it to the therapy session?
- Ooh.
- I feel bad.
I'm sure that's fine. Yeah.
- Thank you for dealing with the chairs.
- Oh, no problem.
Thanks for inviting me.
It's fun to attend
a stranger's retirement party. [chuckles]
- Get a drink. Okay.
- Oh, I will. That's why I'm here.
Hey.
Hey, babe. Oh, thanks, but I can't.
- I'm on the clock.
- Ah. Well, the party looks great.
Ah, good. Yeah, it's… [mutters]
Oh, hi, Vanessa.
Great party, Sylvia.
[chuckles] I haven't seen you
for like a million years.
[laughing] A million years.
Oh, I love this one. So funny. [chuckles]
Well…
Oh.
- What happened to her neck?
- I don't know.
- I don't talk with her much anymore.
- Oh, bet you don't.
Yeah.
Stewart.
Oh. Hey, everybody.
Hey, everybody, listen.
We wanted to send Frank off in style.
So we put together
a little something special.
Let's all take a look. Hit it.
[Charlie] Frank, we have a problem.
What is it?
We can't find
the McCallister v. United Petrol brief.
If I've told you once,
I've told you a million times.
- It's McCallister v. United Petroleum.
- [laughing]
[Charlie] What are we
gonna do without you?
It's almost as if I…
I've got a feeling inside my bones ♪
It goes electric, baby
When I turn it on ♪
All through my city ♪
- All through my home ♪
- It's a little freaky, yeah.
We're flyin' up, no ceilin'
When we in our zone ♪
Can't stop the Franking ♪
Frank, Frank, Frank
Can't stop the Franking ♪
[cheering]
Do I hear something?
[guests clamoring]
- Movie star. Oh, wow. Look at that guy.
- Wow.
What's going on in here?
[record scratches]
Just a little Franking?
[guests cheering, applauding]
[applauding continues]
- Oh, Sylvia. Sylvia? Come here.
- Oh.
I want you to meet my friend Carrie.
She's basically like my wife/daughter/
girlfriend/BFF/Vicodin dealer.
Wait, is this Carrie
that you go to Cabo with?
- Guilty as charged. [chuckles]
- Oh!
- This is Cabo Carrie.
- Yeah.
- This is Cabo Carrie.
- Oh.
You know, I have wanted to meet you
for so many years, Sylvia.
Me too, Cabo Carrie.
- If I may… [chuckles]
- [Carrie] Oh, yeah.
You know, um, I know we just met,
but the company I work for,
we have this big party coming up
and the planner literally just flaked.
- [chuckles] It's a hot mess.
- [Stewart] Yeah.
Would you have any availability
to, like, step in basically yesterday?
Oh, my God. I am wide open. [chuckles]
I'll get your number from Stewart.
I'll call you this week.
That's incredible. Absolutely.
I cannot wait.
- Let's party, bitch!
- Let's do it.
- [chuckles, squeals]
- Talk soon.
- Let's set this up.
- I love it.
- Oh, my God, she's adorable.
- Love her.
She's had no work done.
Oh, lucky fucker.
- I know. Fuck her, am I right?
- [chuckles]
Yeah, I'm getting new teeth next summer.
Ooh.
Audrey.
Hey, what are you doing here?
I'm a founding member.
Oh, I should have known.
[both chuckling]
- How are you? How's everything?
- Good. Same old, same old.
- Yeah.
- You know. Uh…
I just opened a New York office,
so I'm bicoastal now.
Wow. Look at that. [chuckles]
Have you talked to the Lucky Penny guys?
They're really blowing up.
Yeah, I talk to them regularly.
They're doing great.
I'm really psyched for them.
The last I heard you were a big shot
brewmaster at some national chain?
Yeah. Sort of.
Thing-Thing's have changed a bit.
[chuckles] Yeah.
I'm actually trying to open my own bar.
- That's amazing. Where?
- Yeah.
Uh, don't know where yet.
Uh, that's unclear currently as I'm still…
sort of at the beginning of the process.
[chuckles] Yeah.
Okay, well, do you have any investors?
Also kind of at the beginning
of, uh, that process as well so…
- Well, cool.
- Super cool.
Uh… Anyway, great running into you.
I'm sure I'll see you
around the-the haciendas.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
- [chuckles]
I just got hired to do another job.
- Oh, wow, that's great. Yeah.
- I know.
It's really soon
and it's another big one like this,
but it could lead to more work.
Um… would you help me again?
I don't think I could have
done this one without you.
Yeah. Yes. I-I would love to help.
Actually… maybe, while I help,
I could stay in your ADU, you know?
That way I'll have money
to-to rent the space for my bar.
Yes. I like it.
- Great.
- Um, let me just talk to Charlie, but…
Totally get it.
But if it helps sweeten the deal,
I promise I will not
have any more special guests
get fucked in your guesthouse.
- That's so nice. I'll figure it out.
- It is.
- Thank you. Perfect.
- I'll tell him that.
- Okay?
- Great. You can use those words as well.
- I will. That's lovely.
- All right.
[glass clinking]
[Frank] Hey, everyone,
I just wanted to thank you,
uh, for coming
to my… [groans] …retirement party.
[guests laughing] Aw.
You know, at first, I thought
we'd just have a little,
small retirement party,
but then I thought,
"don't ask, don't get." Right?
- [chuckles]
- Holy fuck.
- I'm really gonna miss… most of you.
- [guests chuckling]
Which is why I'm probably
gonna lurk on Slack for a couple of years.
Mmm, you know I'll be there on Slack.
[chuckling]
Anyway, thank you all for making this
such a wonderful send off.
- I really appreciate it.
- [guests clamoring]
- [applause, cheers]
- Thanks. Thanks.
- It's adorable.
- [Charlie] Hi.
I, uh… I, uh… I also have
a small thing to add.
- He's gonna say that you crushed it.
- [chuckles]
This isn't just Frank's retirement.
It is mine.
That is right. I, too, am retiring.
So, uh, congratulations to Frank
and to me.
All right.
No, no. This is not a good thing.
I assume you knew about that?
Guess not.
[sighing]
This is what you were
gonna tell me in therapy?
[Charlie] No, I didn't
have it planned then.
I just knew that I was so unhappy.
Oh, Sylvia, for so long I felt like
I had to live a certain way.
That I had to exist in this tiny,
little box, and then I realized
I don't have to do
the same thing for my entire life.
I mean, there are so many other paths.
Mmm. What path… Any specific path?
No. I'm not entirely sure
what the path is gonna be,
but there are so many paths that
I feel like I'm walking into the forest.
I feel free for the first time in…
Gosh, I don't even know how long.
You know, I realized
there's gotta be more to life
than just going into a law office
for 60 hours a week like Frank.
[chuckles] Yeah. Uh…
We have a lot of expenses on the horizon.
You know,
Frances is about to go to college,
- you know, and…
- Mmm, yeah, well, you know,
I mean, her college fund is almost there
and… [inhales sharply]
…we have enough money saved up
to get us through the next little patch,
but we'll tighten our belts
and we'll figure it out.
- Can I be honest with you, babe?
- Yes.
You can be honest with me.
This always is a safe space.
Okay. I, um… This feels…
Uh, how do I say this? Um…
Reckless and half baked.
[sighs] Babe, I need this.
I really… I-I-I need this.
And we'll figure it out.
[inhales deeply] And you know what?
You are doing great.
You know, you got that big gig tonight.
Your business is really taking off.
Stop overselling it. I got one more party.
[chuckles] Okay?
For all we know,
that could be the end of it.
Mmm, I don't think so.
Babe…
I got this feeling inside my bones.
["Can't Stop the Feeling!" playing]
