For the Love of Jason (2020) s01e06 Episode Script

You all could learn a
thing or two from Blake
about turning things
around for Jackson Reed.
His article in Forbes
definitely turned things around
from the sexual harassment
scandal at their firm.
There he goes again, giving
your credit to his son.
Well, Jason, since you
obviously have so much to say,
let's hear the status on Lola Lane.
Well, things are going
well with Lola Lane.
We have her featured in two magazines.
She just signed a film deal,
and she's trending on social media.
That's wonderful. I knew
you were the right guy.
Yeah, but unfortunately,
she's leaving Allan Young & Associates.
She better not be
leaving. What did you do?
Yeah, what did you do my job?
My job. You should try it.
You better tread lightly, boy,
or you will be out of the job.
Okay.
Let's make that the last
time you address me as boy,
and as far as Lola Lane,
she'll be leaving Allan Young
because she's coming to
Grant-Brennen PR Firm.
Grant-Brennen PR Firm?
Yeah. Cody and I decided
to start our own firm.
You know, because I'm able
to handle my people, remember?
With all the neck rolling?
So Lola Lane has
decided to come with us.
As well as Kenny Jones Jr.
and five of our other clients.
You won't last.
We'll bury you alive.
Good luck.
Would be nice to see you do some work.
Both of you, leave the premises. Now.
With pleasure.
Out of here.
- You look amazing.
- Thank you.
I'm just nervous about
meeting your family.
I mean, it's your parents.
Just relax and have fun.
Okay.
There's my brother and his wife now.
Relax. Everyone's gonna love you.
- Scott, Claudia.
- Hi.
- Hey. Good to see you, man.
- Good to see you.
- It's good to see you.
- Hi.
Hi. This is Lacy.
Lacy, this my brother Scott
and my lovely sister-in-law Claudia.
Yeah. You guys are a little early.
We're not really ready yet.
Lacy, it's nice to finally meet you.
You're even more beautiful
than my brother said.
- Thank you.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- God, I love your hair.
- Thank you.
Well, we're glad to
have you at our event.
Claudia and I put this
together once a year
in support of the children's hospital.
So, how did you two meet?
I went for a drink at her bar,
and I couldn't take my eyes off her.
So I went back every
night and ran up a tab
until she agreed to give me her number.
That is nice. You know, I have a friend
who just opened a little
bistro in Beverly Hills.
How long have you had your place?
Oh, she doesn't own it. She works there.
- Oh.
- Oh, okay. I see.
Okay. I'm a part-time bartender.
I'm in entertainment. I'm an actress.
- You know
that. - Mm-hmm.
Oh. Anything that I
would have seen you in?
Actually, you might remember
that show "Plum Lane,"
you know, from a few years back.
Lacy starred in that show.
It was on for five
seasons, right, sweetheart?
- Yes.
- That's lovely.
I can't say that I've seen it,
but I'm going to add
that to my watch list.
Are you up for anything else now?
I was just cast in a new show.
It's called "Jaded Romance."
Congratulations.
This could be a big step for you.
Yes, it could be a
big step for me. Yeah.
You know, I'm so sorry, you guys.
It's a pleasure. We have to mingle.
You know these checks
won't write themselves.
I'll talk to you later, okay?
Bye.
So is everyone in your family well off?
I would say everyone is
doing okay for themselves.
Let's head to our table.
I can't wait to introduce
you to my parents.
- Yes.
- Don't be nervous.
"These checks won't cash themselves."
- Come on, now.
- "Let's mingle."
I'm on pins and needles.
Mom, Dad, I have someone
I'd like you to meet.
This is Lacy.
Lacy, these are my parents,
Dr. and Mrs. Govington.
- Hi.
- Lacy, is it?
- Yeah.
- Nice to meet you, dear.
Good to see you too.
You look great. Nice to see you.
Well, it looks lovely
as usual around here.
Turned out fantastic.
They always do a wonderful job.
They do, they do.
So, uh, Scott tells me
I have to talk to Harry.
Absolutely. I talked to him earlier,
and he wants to see
you before you leave.
- It's huge.
- He always does.
And I heard it's for the
whole family this time.
He wants everybody involved,
- including you this time.
- Wow.
Nobody gets left out.
Okay.
- It sounds really exciting.
- Really?
Yeah, it's a really big deal.
- The entire family.
- Wow.
Okay.
Um, if you just excuse me,
I'm going to run to the
restroom really quick.
- Oh, sure.
- Thank you.
She's lovely.
Absolutely stunning.
Thank you, Mom.
Dude. Man, grab this drink.
Oh, my bad. Damn. Appreciate it.
Hey, coaster. Coaster.
- Co Really?
- Yeah. Okay.
Well, you better be like
that when you come to my crib.
Still trying to log
into Erick's account?
Yeah, he gave me the
wrong password at first,
but I'm good now.
Dude, you need to stop
stalking that girl.
- That's not healthy.
- I'm not stalking her.
I'm just I'm just checking up on her.
Besides, Erick and Lisa are
the only one she follows.
Damn.
Let me ask you this, Bryan.
How do you feel, hmm?
Do you want to talk?
I'm not doing this with you.
- You want to get it out?
- I got to go, all right?
- We'll get into this later.
- What are you doing?
I thought we were gonna
get something to eat, man.
I know, man, but I ain't hungry no more.
I lost my appetite.
Man, I told you about
playing with that girl.
I'll get at you.
I'll holler at you later, man.
Can you believe that he brought her?
She clearly does not belong here.
Look at her dress and that hair.
It looks like she got
that god-awful dress
off the bargain rack at Macy's.
I mean, who shops at Macy's?
I'm all about being inclusive,
but there has to be boundaries.
Exactly. We have to let Claudia know
that this cannot happen again next year
or we can kiss those donations goodbye.
Lacy, girl, you got this.
Do not trip because you will go to jail
and mess up this man's whole event.
Just Just let it go.
So, I don't know if you
talked to Claudia or Scott,
but I am the reason that they
I asked them to expand the guest
list, if you know what I mean.
Yes.
You know, son, you have to be
careful with people like that.
Yes, they're not all trustworthy.
You don't know their background,
where they come from, who raised them.
I mean, background is everything.
- Background?
- No
You don't have to explain.
Yes. I fell on hard times.
I work at a bar. I don't own it.
I've been divorced. I'm broke.
But it doesn't make either one of you
or anyone here better than me.
I thought you knew that.
Well, all the best on
what you have cooking up.
Is she all right, son?
You should go check on her.
Excuse me.
What just happened?
I have no idea.
It was going so well.
She's gorgeous.
And furthermore, let me tell
you my dress is not awful.
- My dress is very cute and
- Lacy, Lacy, Lacy, Lacy.
- What?
- What is going on?
- What is wrong?
- Everything is wrong.
It's started when you started
to downplay me being a bartender
and then the Botox twins over here
are talking about my dress and my hair
and I don't belong here
and why did you bring me.
Then your parents are like,
"Oh, you can't trust her"?
Wait. No. What are you talking about?
You have it all wrong. Lacy
- No.
- Yes.
- I heard what I heard.
- Oh, no, sweetheart,
We weren't talking about you.
We were talking about her.
She does this at every party
like he doesn't feed her.
Hopefully, it won't last long.
She is wife number three.
Great.
Now I look like a complete idiot.
I'm sorry.
It's fine. I don't belong here.
- No
- No, this is your world.
This is your thing.
I'm going to go, okay?
I'm gonna call a car, and
I'm going to get out of here.
- You don't have to go.
- Yes, I do.
Hey, wasn't she on
that show "Plum Lane"?
Yeah, she was!
- Stunning dress.
- Oh.
All right, all right, all
right, the food is almost done.
I can't wait for you guys
to taste Lisa's cooking.
- It is amazing.
- Oh, great.
- I am starving.
- Come dance with me, son.
You don't dance with your mama anymore.
- Come on, I got you.
- Yes.
You know how I taught you.
Twirl me around like a taught you.
- There you go.
- Aww. Okay, okay.
Ooh, this smells so good.
- Thank you.
- Son, you did good.
Mm-hmm.
- Okay, let's pray.
- All right.
Thank you for the food
that we're about to receive
for the nourishment of our bodies.
Bless our families.
Bless my lovely wife
for preparing this meal.
In your name, amen.
- Amen.
- Shalom.
Ooh, yes.
So, Lisa, how's the job going?
You know, it's just going, I guess.
But I am thinking about
making a transition
- into fashion.
- Ooh.
I want to open up a boutique someday.
Well, I can help you with that.
I'm pretty good at
fashion, as you can see.
Okay. I'll keep that in mind for sure.
I didn't know that you
were interested in fashion.
I mean, but it makes sense.
You have great style and
you'll be great at it.
- Thank you.
- Look, my baby,
she can do anything.
Well, how about you pour your
mama another glass of wine?
There.
- That's enough, Mama.
- Look, it's either this,
or I'll go in my purse
and get something else.
- Uh-oh. -
Yes. Thank you.
Okay, so when are your
parents coming to visit?
Oh, actually they'll
be here really soon.
Oh, really? When?
Well, you know Daddy's coming
up for that business trip
that he has, and he said
that he found some houses
that we can look at while he's here.
I want to go too so I can
check out the feng shui.
- Of course.
- Actually, we're not
going house hunting right now
But, baby, Daddy said that he
was going to help us, remember?
- And he said he's coming.
- Look, I told you
we're not doing that right now.
Look, I appreciate
what your dad is doing,
but I can manage my own house.
That's right, son.
I brought you up better than that.
But, baby, what is the harm
if he just wants to help?
Baby, look at me.
You are going to get
that principal job, okay?
And then we are going to be
able to afford the payments.
My dad is just trying
to get us a nest egg.
Just for starters.
What's wrong with that?
Look, it's not about the nest egg.
It's about his approach,
and we've gone over
this a thousand times.
Your father doesn't believe that
I can provide for his daughter.
No, my father just doesn't want
his daughter to have to settle.
Oh, I think I'll just
go right on in my purse.
Settle, huh? So that's
what you did, settle?
Look, that's not even
what I meant, okay?
Baby, you know that I'm accustomed
to a certain type of lifestyle,
and I don't see anything wrong
with my father trying to
make that happen, okay?
He does it for all of his kids.
Okay, so him imposing himself
in his kids' relationship,
- does that make it right?
- Okay,
so me living in this little apartment
just because you feel like it,
does that make it right?
For your ego, does that make it right?
Hold on, now. Hold on, now, you two.
Now, let's settle down, okay?
Now, Lisa, I taught Erick
to provide for his family
and to be the head of his household.
And, son, parents what to do
for our children what we can.
It's not about doing for us.
It's about respect and
how he views our family.
Take that. It'll help.
What is that?
It'll help.
Cody and I, we're so grateful
that you all are here to
celebrate with us tonight.
We've been working on
this for a very long time,
and it's going to be a great venture,
and we know it's going
to be very prosperous.
- Onwards and upwards, y'all.
- Onwards and upwards.
- Let's go.
- Yes! Yes!
Whoo!
- That's my baby.
- Mama.
Honey, I'm so I'm so proud of you.
- Thanks, Ma.
- I know your daddy's
looking down on you right now.
- I'm sure he
is. - Mm-hmm.
Give me another hug.
Give me another one.
You know, it's so sad
that you and Carmen
- couldn't pull it together.
- Yeah, it is what it is.
But you know what? Your sister,
she brought a little girlfriend along.
Yeah, um, Stacey.
- I just met her.
- Stacey. Okay.
Yeah. I think you need to ask her out.
She look kind of nice, you know?
- Okay. -

to your cute little friend

- What's her name? Stacey.
- Stacey.
Yeah, who's Stacey? Hurry up.
Is she single?
Well, she's, um, not married yet.
- She's maybe entangled right now.
- Oh, entangled.
- Yes, yeah.
- Got it. Got it. Got it.
You know, I don't really care.
It don't matter because
I didn't see no ring.
I got you.
Thanks, Ma.
Listen, Alex, she's bad.
Stacey is bad. Totally
not what I expected.
Oh, excuse me. So you gonna
play into the stereotypes too?
- Just saying.
- And look at your mama.
Over there trying to
make a love connection.
- What is she doing?
- Listen, you know

- And what'd you say?

nowhere but up from here.
Appreciate it, bro. Appreciate it.
Whoa, everybody grab their drinks, okay?
Let's do a crew toast to
my man Jay and his boy Cody.
Not yet. I got a little announcement.
So I've booked that lead on that series.

Maybe we can add you to the roster now.

you a hard time, okay,
but I'm really proud of you, Lacy.
Thank you, Bryan.
Way to go, Lacy.

Thanks. That means a lot.

by saying that I'm very proud of you.
Ah. Thanks.
I want to thank you for
all your help as well.
I really appreciate that.
You're welcome.
Jason
what happened between
us this last time around?
You know, I've been thinking about that
the last couple of weeks myself.
And what did you come up with?
Maybe we just lost our rhythm, you know?
Things that worked for us in the past,
it's it's just not working anymore.
I agree.
Yeah, I honestly feel like you
still have a lot of maturing to do.
You are not a young boy anymore.
Okay. This is what you're doing?
Okay. You know what?
This isn't the time
nor the place for this.
Whoa. Wait a minute.
- No, it's not.
- Well, I'm
Because I know where this is going.
Okay, well, it's never a good time.
Whenever I tell you
I want to talk to you,
- you act like I'm nagging you.
- Because that's what you do
- And at my party for God's sake?
- I didn't come here for this.
I That's okay. I I see
this is not getting any better.
I'm having a good time tonight.
And you know this isn't a good time.
Right, 'cause it's all about Jason
and his wants and his needs.
You know what? I'm forgetting who I am.
- No one else matters.
- I think you should leave.
I think you should leave
because I'm not doing this.
Jason, I didn't come here
to bring your night down.
I thought I would give it one last try.
If you had bothered to even ask
or cared about what
was going on with me,
you would know that I
received a job offer in DC.
Whoa, where is this coming from?
Uh, I applied, I got an offer.
See, this is what I'm
talking about, right here.
Jason, I wanted to talk to you
and this evening, this
conversation just confirms
that I'm going to be moving.
So I wish you the best.
Oh.
I didn't want to tell
you this like this,
but, um
when I go to DC, I will
be taking our baby with me.
- I am pregnant
- What?
and I wanted to make sure
you knew this before I left.
Before you even ask me some crazy stuff,
yes, it is your baby.
There's no possibility of anybody else.
But listen, I don't
expect nothing from you.
- We gotta talk about
- No, no, no.
I don't expect nothing from you.
- That's Stop touching me.
- You can't just drop that bomb.
I just need to talk to you.
You can't drop this
bomb on me like this.
I know that I deserve better, Jason.
You can't give me what I need.
- You have made that clear.
- Calm down. No.
Now you want to
Who are you talking to?
- Calm down! Listen!
- Who the fuck you talking to?
Get the fuck out of my face.
Carmen!
Fuck!
Shit.
- Oh, my God.
- Good morning.
Come in.
Who is at your place?
I don't know.
Nobody just rolls up
to my place like this.
Would you get the door?
Yeah, I'm I'm coming.
Like you last night.
Hey!
You're welcome.
Coming!
- Hey.
- Hey.
Can we talk?
Um
Yeah. Yeah, we can talk.
