There Is No I In Denial

RHIAN: Previously on "Moonshine."
The Moonshine is mine.
43 percent mine.
You lost your right to
this place when you left.
Maybe you and Rhian
should just have it out,
- once and for all.
- (FIGHTING GRUNT)
Finley-Cullens are going down.
You know where to find me at.
- Is it serious? Oh!
- Married.
I'm sleeping with your husband.
This is all your fault.

- You okay?
Why wouldn't I be?
Well, we haven't talked about
What? Lidia prison raping my future,
Or the psycho goat that ate my finger?
Or that you've been banging my sister,
Like a pop machine
that stole your toonie?
It's just that, I've been
reading up on our situation.
"Affair, don't despair",
Has a list of do's and don'ts
For an amicable dissolution
of a marriage.
Oh, Ter, there's no
do's or don't-do's.
We're done.
Done, like we're, we're done.
Like dinner. I mean, breakfast.
Oops! Wrong plate. (PLATES CLATTER)
I should go.
Septic truck was stolen
off of route 3.
What kind of sicko
jacks a septic truck?
I'll pack this up for you.

LIDIA: Okay, Moonshine 2.0.
I've laid out a three-tiered plan.
Step one, maintenance,
update, and refresh.
Sounds like a spa date for grandma.
- (SQUEALS)
- STEP TWO: Marketing.
Now, word of mouth
is our bread and butter,
- But we need more.
- Maybe we can take it online.
Oh, sure, let the campers
see what they're not getting,
Instead of complaining
when they get here.
See, we can design a digital strategy
to help build brand
recognition revenue
so we can eventually afford
Step three!
(GIGGLES HAPPILY, SIGHS)
So, what do you think?
It's really somethin'.
Yeah. You said it.
I get it, I get it.
You're thinking, how are we gonna pay
for this grand project?
We aren't paying. The bank is.
You spoke to the bank about this?
Yeah, I'm meeting the manager today.
If we use our combined
revenue to secure
a small business loan for phase one,
And then, after the increased revenue,
we finance a world-class build.
Does Foxton do world-class?
Best part?
You don't have to do a thing.
I will handle it all.
(SEAGULLS CRY IN THE DISTANCE)
Except
- Spit it out.
- Rhian. (CLEARS HER THROAT)
I'm just uh, I'm just uh
Oh, good lord. You're scared of Rhian.
Everybody's scared of Rhian.
No! No, not me.
No, we're in a great place, yeah.
She's just adjusting to me
being here.
She wants me gone. Permanently.
You know what? Forget it.
This is so silly. We're adults,
We will work this out ourselves.
(BOOK RUSTLES)
All under control.
(HAPPY EXHALE)
(RECEDING FOOTSTEPS THUD)
Well, that was pretty impressive.
- (FOOTSTEPS THUD)
- (SCOFFS)
But it-it's nice
she's taking an interest.
Look, I just don't want Lidia
Getting all fired up about this.
We both know she can't go to the bank.
Good lord! As if.
- And Rhian?
- Oh, she'll be fine.
Just like when she was a baby
- (DOOR CREAKS OPEN)
- colicky.
(DOOR SLAMS)
So, you're saying I'm right
about the Moonshine
being a cover for
a smuggling operation.
Listen, I got an anonymous tip
that might corroborate the idea
That there's been
smuggling in the area, Colin.
If you're right, emphasis on 'if, '
then maybe we can get out
of this hell-hole department
by bringing the big case on our own.
Right, well, while
we're discussing protocol,
hypothetically speaking, of course,
w-what are the ethics of having
a romantic relationship
with a suspect?
What's-her-name with nine fingers?
Colin, do not stick
your dick in crazy.
What? No, god, no.
I was just wondering.
It's a no-no. It mucks up the case.
- How so?
- (SCOFFS)
Well, say someone were
to acquaint themselves
doggy-style to a perp
they pick up at some
third-rate tiki bar in Niagara Falls?
Now, the guy might claim entrapment.
Sure, you vow never to do it again.
Next thing you know,
you are balls deep in a pile
of Bolivian happy powder
While some Calgary rodeo clown
gets what's good.
So, to summarize?
Pro tip, rookie: Don't do it.
Big mistake.
Big, glorious,
multi-orgasm mistake.
Got it.

Okay, so, I talked to the
landlord about the apartment
and also about his pit bull, Clara.
She was weaned too soon, so
the place smells like pee now,
but that is okay
because he said he'd knock
A few bucks off the security
deposit, which is awesome
because it means The place is ours!
As soon as pony up! Ah, ha!
Oh, my god, Ryan, come on!
We need to figure this out!
Listen, listen, okay.
I know that you're not,

And bank jobs, and names like Barry.
No, I unclog toilets all week.
Yeah, like a boss, you do!
You are great at that!
But we have to find ways
other than just plumbing
and sweeping, to monetize
And reach our full potential.
Remember that asshole, Johnny D.?
Yeah, he had cornrows at prom, right?
Yeah. He thought he was cool as shit.
Everybody thought he was a loser.
Losers don't know they're losers.

The situation with Terry. Rhian
No. No way, this conversation

My situation,

- I don't
Also, don't pretend you're
here out of sisterly concern.
(SIGHS) I came here out

- Okay.
- You know when Rhian used
to freak out when we were younger?
You mean, like, set fire
to the ice castle
at winter formal because someone wore
the same bubble dress as her?
What's your point?
I pitched the Moonshine reboot,
and mom and dad didn't shut me down.
Oh, you're the ice castle.
When Rhian finds out about my plans
Hmm, you're being paranoid.
- She's on the warpath.

Apparently, in addition
to my missing shoe,
I also need proof I own
shares in this place.
We have Felicia's will.
Turns out, she could've willed me
a fireman with an eight-pack.
Doesn't mean he exists.
I need a copy of a
shareholder's agreement,

- Have you asked mom and dad?
No way.
Told them you had things under control
And don't want to admit you don't?

Well, Rhian got me, too.
Graffitied a King-Kong-sized

- I'm pretty sure King Kong
was the dude with a thing for blondes.
As much as I'd love to sit here
and discuss fictional
primate genitalia,
I'm gonna need ya to sack up
and go and arrest your wife, Terry.
- Rhian's going through a lot.
- Yeah, I know. I get it.
She's hurt, and angry.
Doesn't excuse the fact
that she has become
a one-woman terrorist organization.
It's gonna take her awhile
to come to terms
with our relationship, okay.
We don't have a relationship.
We have sex.
Nora, things are out in the open now.
We can be together.
- Dating, boyfriend, girlfriend.
- Uh
- You've heard of that, right?
- Terry, no, we're not,
this is, we're not dating, okay.
We're not going steady. I don't
want you to ask me to the dance.
This whole thing was a mistake.
- You wanna break up?
- We're not breaking up,
because there's nothing to break.
You can't end something
that never started.
Okay, okay. Then this is our start.

Speaking of, has Rhian
said anything to you lately?
Yeah, she called me stupid.
Twice. Today.
You don't recover from some hurts.
Uh, about the Moonshine.
Revenge plots.
Anything that might get in the
way of my plans for this place.
That's right!
You are the planning one of this fam.
Goal-orientated, ambitious.
Making it happen with the
intensity of Charles Manson

- Thanks?
That's why I wanted
to talk to you, Lids.
I get this vibe from Crystal,
That she might dump me if I
don't get my shit together.
I need to make money.
You wanna get your life together?
You can't do it for someone else,
You gotta work it out for yourself.
