Ginny and Georgia (2021) s03e03 Episode Script

Friends Can Dance

1
Put on your shoes
We're running… ♪
Sometimes, I feel like I missed
the day when they explained how to exist.
Like I'm performing being me,
and I'm not doing it very well.
I always wanted to fit in.
To be a normal girl.
That mattered to me.
Guess that's gone to shit.
Don't you just love love?
I love spring.
Flowers are budding,
everyone's horny, the sun's out.
-Spring is very sexual.
-Gross.
Come on, aren't you excited
for Tulips and Tuxes?
What even is it? Is it prom?
Ugh. No. We don't get a prom
till we're juniors.
Being sophomores kind of sucks.
Like, all we got was sophomore sleepover.
I feel like I've been a sophomore
my entire life.
-Preach.
-What is Tulips and Tuxes?
It's like a fundraiser thing.
Yeah, it's for the whole school,
even freshmen.
You basically pay the school
to dance in the gym.
Okay, so then how is it not like prom?
-It's in the gym.
-Okay, but is prom not in the gym?
How dare you?
Frankly, how dare you?
Prom is at the Ritz, or the Four Seasons,
or sometimes it's on a yacht.
Tulips and Tuxes is more chill.
You don't wear a good dress.
You wear kind of like a cheesy dress,
but you still want it to be good.
And then all the guys have to wear tuxes,
and they hate it. It's great.
-Yeah, I'm not going.
-What? No, you have to.
So everyone can stare at me more?
No, thank you.
-Hi.
-Hey.
Hi.
I'm here too. We shared a womb.
Silver!
So, how are you?
I am good.
-How are you?
-Shut up.
Let me know how you're doing.
Feel free to circle back.
I don't want us to be weird,
since we almost kissed.
-Then don't be weird.
-Okay.
So we're still friends?
I don't know.
Do we have anything in common?
They're cute.
-Mmm, I'm just happy she's over Sophie.
-Yeah.
Hey, are you going to that dance?
-That's a "no."
-It's not really my thing.
"Not really my thing.
I'm too cool for dances."
Yeah, no,
I'm not going either.
I get it.
Okay. I'll see you later.
Yeah.
In the summertime
Driving up the West Coast ♪
Me and my Valentine
We ain't got no place to go ♪
Nothing ahead but the open road ♪
Oh ♪
They're in the badlands
Looking for me… ♪
Georgia!
Georgia!
Hi!
Is this gonna be all day?
52 Bradley's renovating their kitchen.
What color?
A coastal blue.
Mmm.
I'm literally watching paint dry.
I'm losing it.
I keep feeling like I should be
productive, but I'm exhausted.
But I'm also antsy.
But I keep feeling like I should
bake something, and I hate baking.
Enough about me. How are you?
Oh, well, you know, I find I'm only ever
as happy as my least happy child,
so I'm never very happy.
Ginny told me that she "needed space."
I'm your mother.
You don't get to have space from me.
Where you're concerned,
I'm a goddamn spider monkey.
Mm-hmm. I'm supposed to chaperone
Tulips and Tuxes,
but Marcus doesn't wanna go.
And so I don't wanna go
and watch all the other kids having fun,
knowing that he's home by himself.
-What's Tulips and Tuxes?
-It's the spring dance.
-Oh! I never went to a dance.
-Never?
My one year of high school
wasn't very dance-y.
Mmm.
-I love the idea of a school dance.
-Mm-hmm.
A dance?
Lynette.
Yes.
I went grocery shopping
since you can't.
Ellen, meet Lynette, Zion's mom.
-Hi there.
-Hi. Nice to meet you.
-What's this I heard about a dance?
-Ginny's school is having one.
-Oh, how nice. Like a prom?
-No, it's just in the school gym.
Is Ginny going?
Well, I think she should.
She could use some fun.
Lynette, I actually agree with you.
I gotta go to work.
-It was nice meeting you.
-Nice to meet you.
-I'll see you later.
-Bye.
This was very sweet.
You really didn't have to do all this,
but I appreciate it.
You take care now.
-I'm staying for dinner.
-Of course.
I thought I could make
a few things that will last,
like a lasagna you can freeze…
…my special pound cake that Ginny likes.
And then I thought we would huddle on
if you have a will.
Just in case anything happens.
Corbin wanted me to bring that up.
-Do you keep your bread in the cabinet--
-Lynette.
Oh, and I am sorry for the other night.
I got out of hand.
But have you thought about
what would happen if you got convicted?
I'm not going to get convicted.
I know this isn't easy,
but a woman ill-prepared
is set up for failure.
Now, do you know who would get the kids?
I will get the kids,
because I'm not goin' anywhere.
I'm just worried. If you go away--
Lynette!
I am trying to help. I am not your enemy.
Do not yell at me.
I'm sorry.
So have you met Simone yet?
Not yet.
I can't believe
how serious they're getting. So fast.
You know, Zion brought her to my wedding.
She saw you get arrested?
And married.
A lot of life moments.
I guess you'll just meet her
when you're in town next.
-Where do you keep your spices?
-Oh.
That's it?
Mom, there's no food in the fridge.
Right, well, Daddy's gonna
figure something out. Zion.
I have that job interview.
Yeah, I got a gig.
-Wedding.
-But…
-Gram.
-Hi, baby. Come here.
-Hi, sweetheart.
-Hey. How do I look?
You look good. Handsome.
Lynette. Hi.
Hi.
Uh…
We need the money.
Thanks, Mom. We appreciate this.
So you two are back together.
Mm-hmm.
How are you liking your new school?
Do you have lots of friends?
Well, that's great.
So, uh, I'll be back
from my job interview around 4:00.
Uh, the kids haven't eaten,
and, uh, we don't have any food, so…
You got an interview?
Yeah. Spurlocks.
It's this little seafood place.
Oh, it's a restaurant?
While I wait to hear from NASA.
Okay. Well, have fun with Gram.
Can we go to Barnes & Noble
and really buy one of the books?
Not just sit and read in the corner?
You can buy as many as you like.
-Sorry.
-Shh. It's him.
Good morning.
-Hey, Joe.
-Hey. So be honest with me.
How serious is this
"big business in Wellsbury" thing?
How concerned do I have to be?
Um…
I don't know.
How's she doing?
Um…
She's Georgia.
She is, uh… holding up.
Good. Uh, listen, I don't know
if this matters or if it helps,
but if anyone needs to know, I…
was with her at your house
that night around 8:00.
-Wait, you were at my house?
-Yeah, I was dropping something off.
But, uh, I don't know,
if she needs, like, an alibi, or…
Sorry. This is so weird, but I just--
I just wanted to tell you…
in case it helps.
Okay.
Um…
Thanks, Joe.
Have a great day, ladies.
Oh God.
Hey, Zach.
Zach.
Your mom killed his dad. He hates you.
"Hey, Zach. Hey. Hey, Zach."
Zach.
My mom said to stay away from you.
Um…
Wanna go to Tulips and Tuxes?
Cast list is out!
We don't have time for this!
Yes!
-Move, move, move! Fire!
-Sorry!
I'm Patty, you're Luna!
Yes! Oh my God. I'm so happy.
-Bryon, you're Lester!
-Oh sick.
That'll be great.
Oh.
Max, uh…
What?
Hi.
Ginny, get in here.
Let's try this again. Hey.
-How was your day?
-Fine.
Great. Wanna ask how my day was?
Thanks for asking.
Well, let's see, I went
to the living room, then the kitchen,
then the living room again,
then the kitchen again,
and Lynette's been here all day helping.
-The hell are you watching?
-Wellsbury Local Access.
So, is there anything else
you wanna tell me?
Tulips and Tuxes?
Ah. That.
Mm-hmm. Are you goin'?
Probably not.
Because of Marcus?
What I saw the other night?
No, God, it's nothing to do with him.
-We're just friends.
-Right.
You know,
this is why I don't tell you anything.
-You always gaslight me.
-What? What is that?
-You invalidate my feelings.
-Well, that's because you have so many.
All you do is feel.
You're a teenager, and you're hormonal,
and you're sensitive, and you feel a lot.
-And I'm not gassing you up.
-Gassing up is good.
Well, then I'm gassing you
all over the place, okay?
All the feelings.
Feel them all. Feel your feelings.
They're all valid. Every single last one.
-You don't have to be like that.
-Why, is it giving you a feelin'?
I know you're still mad at me.
I don't know, Mom.
I don't wanna be.
I'm so tired of being mad at you.
I'm mad at me.
-You can be mad.
-What?
Be mad.
Mom.
Come on. Let it all out.
-What are you guys doing?
-Being mad.
What is happening in here?
-We're being mad.
-Well, we're done now.
Yes, ma'am.
Austin, put these away.
No, please. No more laundry.
That's the last load,
then I'm heading out.
Oh. You mean you're not staying
for dinner, after all? Shame.
Is there anything else
I can get you since I'm up?
You mean since I'm plugged
into the wall? No, I'm good.
You okay?
-Yeah.
-Give Gram a hug?
Oh my girl.
You know, since you're up…
Right.
I know you don't care about
anything I have to say,
but I think you should go to this dance.
Except I don't want to.
Just it sounds so familiar.
It's like I've said it before.
-Well, I'm gaslighting you.
-That's still not what that means.
I know what's going on
is a lot for you right now, I do.
But I can't bear it if you're not going
because of what's happening with me.
-Oh, so it's really about you.
-No. That's not--
I'm not going to the dance, Mom.
Thanks so much.
-Come on, Ginny.
-"Ginny"?
Yes, we're going to Zion's
for dinner with Simone.
Is there a problem?
No.
Have fun.
Good.
Hello.
It's one thing your mother comes over
and invades my home,
but now she's kidnapped Ginny.
You know, she asked me
to make a will today.
Probably so she can kill me
and take Ginny forever.
I'm good, thanks.
Just whipping together
a last-minute dinner
for my mom to meet
my girlfriend for the first time.
I just wonder who could've given her
such a wonderful idea.
Thanks for that.
Well, I just said things
were getting serious with you two.
Are they?
Getting serious?
Yeah, they are.
Well, enjoy.
When I'm in prison defending myself
with a shank made
from a tampon applicator,
you can have
all the family dinners you want.
-Georgia, you're not going anywhere.
-Tell that to your mom.
"Georgia, for when you're in prison,
where's the coupon drawer?"
It's gonna be okay, Peach.
And Ginny will have tons of space.
Okay, clearly I missed something.
Oh shit, I gotta go.
W--
Oh, Austin.
I was just kidding.
I'm not going anywhere.
This is really yummy, Dad.
Yes, it's lovely, honey.
Simone, do you cook?
Mom, why don't we start with something
a little gentler, like the weather?
I'm just getting to know Simone.
No, I love to cook, but, uh…
you know, 60-hour work week,
don't always get the time,
which is why I appreciate Zion.
You're a criminal defense attorney,
that's impressive.
Ginny, do you hear that?
-So where'd you study?
-Well, it's been warm, so that's good.
Uh…
Undergrad at Spelman.
An HBCU? Do you hear that, Ginny?
-Oh, I heard all of it.
-Oh.
-And where was law school?
-Harvard Law.
-Oh!
-I heard it.
So great.
So, uh, have you weighed in
on the situation we're dealing with?
We don't need to discuss that now.
Yeah, I second that.
We have a Harvard Law graduate
at the table,
and we're not gonna ask her to weigh in?
I mean, I…
…really, with any trial, it's…
it's… it's a show for the jury.
And Georgia's white,
she's married to the mayor, she's pretty.
That's all gonna be helpful for her.
-Ginny, how's school?
-Yes. Are you excited for your dance?
Oh, I'm… I'm not going.
You need to have some fun.
Fun is important.
"Fun is important"? Who are you?
Uh, school hasn't been exactly
a pleasant experience lately, Gram.
Well, exactly, honey. You need this.
Get dressed up.
Have fun with your friends.
Dance with a boy you like.
Wear a pretty dress.
I mean…
…it'd be nice for you to forget
about all this stress for one night.
Come on. It sounds good.
-Yeah, I guess.
-Oh. Okay!
Let's go dress shopping
while I'm in town.
Simone, you should come too.
Simone's probably busy.
You should let the defense attorney
speak for herself.
You know, I, um…
I… I wouldn't wanna intrude.
No, you should come.
You should come buy my prom dress.
It's not… it's not prom,
it's, um… it's in the gym.
But, yeah, that'd be… real fun.

-Okay.
Just, uh… just give me some head.
It'll be quick.

I knew that blue would look good.
No.
No, what are you doin'?
No.
No, no, no, wear the blue one.
No!
Paul, I need you to go to our neighbor,
37 Bradley.
Tell him to wear the blue shirt I got him.
What?
The guy in 37 needs
to be wearing the blue shirt.
Or the red, that'd be fine too.
If he's wearing the pelicans or parrots
or anything with animals on 'em,
you need to tell him to change.
What are you waitin' for?
Just trying to determine
how worried I need to be about you.
I'm fine. He's gonna leave
for his date soon. He's always on time.
Which is good, you know,
but he can come off too eager,
especially if he's wearing the birds.
-Mmm.
-Paul!
Two things.
One, I am not going over to 37
to tell that man what shirt to wear.
-But I'm--
-And two,
we need to figure out your life
in this house.
I agree. I should be
more involved with work.
-Like the town council meeting coming up.
-How do you even-- Did you bug my office?
I've been watching Wellsbury Local Access
since you won't tell me anything.
Well…
I'm telling you-- Okay.
Have I not been supportive enough here?
For you? For the kids?
-I'm… I'm paying for the lawyer.
-I know. I know.
I'm sorry.
I know this is not ideal.
This is not what we signed up for.
But in sickness or in health,
for better or for worse.
I said it, and I meant it.
I did not, when I married you,
expect to be involved in a murder trial.
-That was a surprise. Yeah.
-Mm-hmm.
But we're dealing with it,
you know, as best as we can.
But Georgia, when I… when I leave
this house, it is a battlefield.
I mean, it's…
it's nothing but… but stares.
And the whispers…
I mean, I'm not even me out there.
I am… I am just…
I am Georgia's husband.
I am the husband of… an alleged murderer.
And I'm sure it is a hundred times worse
for Ginny and Austin.
So I know that you are bored,
and you're stir-crazy,
and… and possibly just crazy in general,
but you'll forgive me if when I come home,
I don't wanna deal with… this.
'Cause, I mean, out there,
we are already dealing with this, for you.
So please, for the love of God,
please just shut up
about our neighbor's shirt.
Okay.
I'm gonna come back in here,
and we are going to give this another try.
-Okay?
-Okay.
-Hey.
-Mmm.
I'm sorry you had a hard day.
-Thank you.
-Mmm.
I love you.
I love you t--
What are you…
Oh.
Why did you stop?
Just thinking about our neighbor.
He'll never find love like ours.
Not if he keeps wearing
those terrible shirts.
Uh-huh.
You're a good man, Paul Randolph.
Okay.
Thanks, Paul.
Hi! Do you wanna hang out?
Oh, I can't. I'm asleep.
Don't be a dick.
Hey. Maxine.
So I was thinking about Tulips and Tuxes.
It could be fun,
and your therapist says
you should try to challenge yourself--
God, can everyone just leave me alone?
You don't have to be nasty.
I'm sorry. Just…
It's hard.
I've been making myself throw up.
What?
Why?
Is that some kind of weird girl thing?
No.
Okay, well…
I gotta go home, so…
All right. Is that it?
I don't know.
Probably shouldn't be doing that.
See you tomorrow.
Hi.
What are you doing?
I'm watching a movie.
Anything good?
No. There's a lot of explosions.
You wanna watch?
Did you like that? I knocked this time.
Boundaries.
I'll call you back.
Who is that? Marcus?
Mom, don't.
Tell me or I'll gaslight you.
That's still not what that…
We are just friends.
You can't get over someone
while still being friends with them.
Insightful.
Cough, Dad, cough.
-Speaking of Dad…
-Don't.
…did Lynette love Simone?
Did she ask for a copy of her law degree
to frame in her bedroom?
Fine.
Listen, I really want you
to go to this dance--
Mom, I'm going.
Really?
We're going to a dance!
Yeah, Gram convinced me.
Oh.
Good.
If I'm convicted, you'll get your wish.
You'll have plenty of space.
-That's not funny.
-No, it's not.
Oh shit. You're mad at me.
-No.
-Yes, you are.
-That's so unfair.
-I know.
I know it's not fair.
I just…
I wanna be there for all your dances.
I wanna see your wedding.
I wanna be there when you have babies.
Do you wanna get mad into the pillow?
This hasn't been easy, Mom.
I'm trying really hard here.
Okay. Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I'm excited about this dance!
This is good.
Norah Olivia Cohen…
…I promised you
that I would be more romantic,
and I am a man of my word.
-Because what is a man…
-Oh my God.
…without his word?
Well… he's just a man.
-A boy!
-A boy-man!
-Will you go to Tulips and Tuxes with me?
-Yes.
All right, come on.
-Get down, Jordan.
-All right. Okay.
She said "yes." All right.
Okay.
Could be fun.
A dance? Tulips and whatever.
You wanna go?
Maybe, yeah.
Friends can dance.
Can they?
I think I hate you.
I don't even wanna be your friend.
I just don't think it's a very good idea.
Us going together?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I get that.
I wasn't even asking you,
so just circle back.
When did you come downstairs?
I didn't.
I didn't hear or see anything,
and then we went home.
What happened when you got home?
We had cookies, and I went to bed.
Can I go now?
Yeah, sure, go ahead.
That sound right to you?
Yeah. We got back from Cynthia's
around 8:00.
Paul got home around 9:00.
We were eating cookies,
and I put the kids to bed. Normal night.
Didn't Joe stop by around 8:00?
Um, right. A friend of mine stopped by
to return some sunglasses.
He was here for, like, five minutes.
Then my daughter came home.
She was upset about a breakup.
We had some cookies and went to bed.
-Aren't you forgetting about someone else?
-I don't think so.
I mean, didn't Gil come over?
Right.
My son's father came over,
but he didn't stay long.
Then cookies and bed.
Right.
Yeah, so I did speak to my expert,
and, uh, he said that it is possible
that Tom could have accidentally
suffocated himself, just like you said.
Yes. That's what happened.
-Hey, Josh?
-Yeah?
-Just… give me a second here.
-Okay.
I'm worried that Georgia's
not telling you everything.
-Okay.
-She's had a rough history.
Um, something to do with gambling,
uh, a motorcycle gang.
Details are fuzzy on that.
Yeah, she mentioned
some of that stuff to me.
-She did?
-Yeah.
Oh. Okay. All right. That's, uh…
That's good.
Yeah, I mean, the prosecution might try
to attack her character,
but she's not on trial for her past.
She's on trial
for allegedly killing Tom Fuller.
-Right.
-Which we are prepared to defend against.
You know, he was really sick,
could have been an accident.
Worst-case scenario,
his wife is out of the room.
She makes a better suspect.
I'm optimistic.
-Okay.
-Good.
Yeah. Great. I just…
I just wanted to make sure
she was telling you the whole truth.
She's probably not.
You know, none of them do.
My default is to not believe
a word they say.
It's the only way to really be prepared.
It's gonna work out.
Ginny, how about this one?
-Oh.
-The color.
Mmm.
Hello. Shopping for your daughter?
Oh, uh, she's not my--
-Oh, no, that's my dad's--
-We'd like to try this one on.
I'm gonna, uh, go look over here.
I like her.
Yeah, she's nice.
She's a lot different than Mom.
Ginny, your Mom and me,
there's a lot that happened.
A lot of pain.
A lot that I regret.
I had big dreams for your dad.
And for you.
Look at me now.
And look at you.
I am so proud.
Oh, look at this one.
Oh yeah.
Ginny.
I'll be right back.
This girl.
Hey.
Ginny.
What--
Hey, Ginny. You dress shopping too?
Yeah, I am here with my grandma
and my dad's girlfriend.
Ginny, come out. Let me see it.
Oh my.
Do you like it?
-Yeah.
-I'm gonna go find a nice pair of shoes.
Mmm.
Wow. Yes, that.
Yeah, I just won't eat for a week.
I'm kidding, obviously.
Dude,
what are you wearing right now?
Bro, you look like you're homeschooled.
Oh. Dude.
Are you going with Press?
No. No, no, no.
I don't even think he's going.
Yeah, I don't think Marcus is either.
Hey, can I tell you something?
No judgment?
-Marcus and I almost kissed.
-Oh my God. Tell Maxine.
Quick.
No secrets.
Okay, so… does that mean anything?
No. No, we're just friends.
We… we still care about each other.
There's no reason not to be friends.
Other than the fact that you're
desperately in love with each other still?
Yes, uh,
but the pain is more of a dull ache
instead of a sharp stab feeling.
Are you coming to Brodie's tonight?
I don't know. Maybe.
Might have to hang out with my mom.
She's kind of losing it.
-I see.
-Dude.
I look like I--
I look like I'm about to follow a nice man
named Charlie back to his ranch.
I can't.
Like, what is this?
You look like a cry for help.
Hey, Ginny?
I think I found something you might like.
Oh.
-Yeah, thanks. I'll try it.
-Okay.
You can never trust a Tom.
Oh, I don't trust any man,
especially one with a one-syllable name.
-The worst.
-I know.
What are your plans tonight?
I'm going to Brodie's.
You're doing family game night!
Isn't that exciting?
I don't love it.
I don't know what to do, Max.
Your brother isn't well.
You're lucky you have friends
and theater,
and stuff comes easily to you,
and Marcus doesn't have that.
Okay.
Mmm.
-Can I invite Ginny?
-Yes!
Okay.
-I don't think I've seen any of these.
-That's so weird.
You're gonna love it.
What's going on in here?
High-school-dance movie marathon.
I curated the perfect line-up.
She's All That, because you've never seen
Freddie Prinze Jr. hacky sack before,
and it shows.
Sixteen Candles.
Problematic has never been more fun.
Hey, Paul, since you're up,
will you make us some popcorn?
You've learned new tricks.
I don't like it.
Gram get you a dress?
-Yeah.
-Good.
What?
Um, Max invited me over for game night.
-You hate games.
-No, I don't.
Uh-huh. Funny how Marcus lives
in that house.
-We're just friends.

Go, have fun.
Are you sure?
Because that sounded kind of forced.
I know. I heard it as it came out.

Go, have fun.

Okay. Thanks, Mom.

-Ah.
Yeah, this is the part where he does
a slow-motion victory lap.
Don't worry. He doesn't win often.
He says one of them's adopted.
He's not saying who.
So, Ginny, are you going
to Tulips and Tuxes?
Yes, I got my dress today.
Oh.
See? Ginny's going.
Who wants a rematch?
I'm out. I'm tired.
Mom, he's not magically gonna
not be depressed if he goes to this dance.
You know that, right?
You're just gonna keep dying…
-Shut up.
-What are you gonna do?
-Shut up.
-Ugh. I'm so full.
Where is everybody?
Well, I think our boy Hunty
has a new girly friend.
He's been kind of squirrelly lately.
And, uh, Jordan is bringing Froyo to Norah
because of her, uh, period cramps.
And Ginny and Max are at Max's.
Yo, Abby. Blow, marry, kill.
Press, Brodie, Hunter?
Blow Hunter,
marry Brodie,
kill Press.
Not blow Press?
Wait, are you and Press, like, a thing?
No. No.
Abby, that hurts.
Oh, no offense,
but I hope you get hit by a bus.
Brodie, can you and Matt
help me move something heavy?
-Uh, no.
-Yes.
-No.
-Come on, Matthew.

Max, not you and Sophie again.
Not Sophie. That's what I'm saying.
I had to let her go

-We're just friends.
-Sure.
But the two of you,
cuddling on a bed in a warm embrace,
that could seem

To the untrained eye.
And this is not an angry "don't date
my best friend" thing.
We did that. I'm over that.
I'm just really worried about you.
And I think we all are.
Oh.
And Mom's losing it,
so if you have anything in you at all,
please go to this damn dance.
Okay.
Also, do you think it's convenient?
Sophie, doing the musical

I was interested in someone else?

I don't even care, though.
I don't know why I asked. That's so dumb.
Yeah. Sophie? Who?

No.

You wanted Ginny to go to the dance.

We did that.
We're on the same team.
