Immoral Compass (2021) s01e07 Episode Script

People can sense when you
don't have boundaries, you know?
They start crowding in. You know,
these passive aggressive people.
If I go into one more
rental car agency
and I see some fucking asshole,
"Hey, how'd your hear about us?"
"Oh, my friend, Mike."
"What's his phone number?"
And they're just giving it out
like a bunch of rats.
"How'd you her about us?"
I didn't hear about you.
You're famous.
You got billboards,
you assholes.
Didn't you have
commercials on TV?
If you don't have boundaries,
people are just gonna keep
crossing lines with you and
it's and it's gonna build up
and then you're gonna get angry
and you're gonna snap
at some other shit.
You drop an F bomb in a store,
all of a sudden you're the problem.
I'm the problem? I'm just trying
to get a little toothpaste here
and this chick wants
all my fucking information.
What, are you gonna call me?
To see how I enjoyed
the fucking toothpaste?
Somebody's sitting there
in the middle of the night,
"So, have you used it yet?
Is it whitening your teeth?"
That's not what you do.
You just say,
"I'd rather not."
What I usually do is
I try to grab onto a table
or something like that and
just sort of be squeezing it.
I keep the anger down there.
Like, I compartmentalize it.
It's like liquid in a cylinder.
I just sort of lean
and it all goes down the arm.
[synth rock music]
[players chatting]
[coach sighing]
Sorry about all those
free throws, coach.
She's 15, Trey.
What?
My daughter.
OK.
Don't you
ever
come near my house again,
you understand?
- What are you talking
COACH: Don't!
Play dumb with me.
I saw you sneaking out the
back door yesterday afternoon.
Fine. I was at your house
yesterday, but I swear to God
Don't you fucking
bullshit me, Trey!
Coach, I wasn't hooking up
with your daughter, I swear.
Well, if you weren't there
for my daughter, then who
[coach stammering]
I had no idea that you and, uh
my son were a
I
Well, I suppose Zane is old
enough to make his own decisions.
Sorry to raise my voice.
That's the coffee talking.
- No, it's fine.
Don't worry about it.
I used to have a small dog.
What?
Huh?
Later, coach. COACH: Yeah.
[Trey sighing]
[phone ringing]
Hey, Lisa. It's me.
We can not hook up
at your place anymore.
Your husband is on to us.
[door knocking]
Hey, Zane.
What's up?
Hey.
OK.
What are you doing?
Just so you know,
you can tell me anything
and I will always support you,
you hear me?
You can tell me anything.
[phone ringing]
- Dmitri, it's me.
Look, we can't keep this shit
at my house anymore.
My dad, he's onto us.
[dramatic music]
It's like hockey, you know.
It starts getting a
little too exciting,
getting a little too crazy,
people start swinging sticks
and then a goon comes out there
and beats the fuck out of somebody
and it all settles down again.
That's what boundaries are.
Hi, I'm Demi Smith, I'm 5'4"
and I'm based in Los Angeles.
CASTING DIRECTOR: Do you mind,
uh, doing some improv? I'd love that.
Oh, totally, yeah.
CASTING DIRECTOR: OK, great, um,
let me just give you a scenario.
- How about you're firing me?
- OK.
CASTING DIRECTOR: Yeah,
whenever you're ready.
I have some bad news.
CASTING DIRECTOR:
Is everything OK?
Um, I really don't think that
this job is a good fit for you.
CASTING DIRECTOR:
You're firing me? Screw this.
Well, I wanted
to give you an opportunity,
but ultimately,
you're clearly just
not capable of doing
this job and
I need somebody who can
do more than talk the talk.
OK? I just, I need someone
who can walk the walk.
CASTING DIRECTOR:
That was great.
Um, do you take improv classes?
Yeah, a few years.
CASTING DIRECTOR: OK, great.
That's what the director is looking for.
He likes to do improv on the
set. Let's do another one, alright?
Great.
CASTING DIRECTOR:
Let's say you're in a heated
custody battle and you're telling
your ex that you're taking full custody.
Oh, yeah. I love it.
CASTING DIRECTOR:
Oh, and your ex cheated on you
with your son's math teacher.
Whenever you're ready.
OK.
Hey, I wanted to give you a heads
up, out of respect for what we had,
I'm asking the judge
for full custody.
CASTING DIRECTOR:
You fucking bitch!
You can't do that!
Well, I can do whatever I
want. I mean, you certainly did.
CASTING DIRECTOR:
So, this is about revenge.
[scoffing] After I moved
to the Valley for you?!
This isn't about revenge,
this is about maturity.
I mean, you slept
with someone in our son's life.
You weren't thinking
of his welfare
because you're an egotistical,
selfish asshole.
[phone ringing]
CASTING DIRECTOR:
Sorry, sorry, one minute.
Do you mind if I
take this real quick?
Oh, totally. Do your thing.
CASTING DIRECTOR: Jesus,
Trisha, you know I'm working.
Yeah, well, tell
Mr. Lennox I say hi.
Assuming he's not
too busy fucking you.
You really want to
get into this now?
Well, fine. I'm asking
for full custody.
This isn't revenge.
This is about maturity.
When you slept
with someone in our son's life,
you weren't thinking
of his welfare.
Because you're an egotistical,
selfish asshole!
Our precious angel
deserves better than you.
Sorry about that.
Oh, hey. Sandra from the
network wanted to tell you
CASTING DIRECTOR: Carly,
I'm in the middle of a session.
How many times
You know what, Carly?
Actually, I have some bad news.
I just don't think this job's
a good fit for you.
Are you seriously
firing me right now?
CASTING DIRECTOR: I wanted
to give you an opportunity,
but you clearly
aren't capable of doing the job.
I need someone who's able to
do more than talk the talk
and frankly,
you just can't walk the walk.
Walk the walk?
What the fuck? Did
you seriously just say that?
CASTING DIRECTOR:
Oh, no. I wasn't. I
You're playing that card
after you had me skim money
to pay for your
fucking custody battle.
Yeah, OK. I'm calling Sandra,
then I'm calling my lawyer.
Good luck, honey.
I knew your wife was cheating
on you the whole fucking time.
