Three Women (2023) s01e02 Episode Script
Cord
1
[GIA] Back in high school,
Lina falls in love with a boy.
Only she maintains he was
never, ever a boy.
He was born a god.
In a matter of weeks,
she gets to know everything about him.
"Man, if guys only knew,"
she jokes to her best friend Jennifer,
"how much we think about them."
Lina's always honest
about things like that.
But Jennifer isn't willing to admit
she's ever done anything similar.
Like finding out every single
thing about someone
to whom you have never spoken.
Phone number by heart.
And in two weeks, you've dialled
the first six numbers
about a thousand times.
And your heart explodes
right before the seventh number.
Your finger pulses on it,
but you never, ever press it.

[TEENAGE LINA]
Aidan, I watched that show
you told me about, Star Search.
Yeah.
[TEENAGE LINA]
There was this one girl on it.
She sang "Crazy."
Only
she did it very fast-like.
It was nice.
But
- But?
- I don't know.
I-I would've done it
regular.
You got a real nice voice,
you know that?
Maybe you could get on there.
[TEENAGE LINA]
You know when you're listening
to a song and it feels
like it's about one person?
Every song, I guess,
is about that person.
Hmm. [CHUCKLES]

Come on now, Lina.
Come on now what?
[ED] Well, you-you

You're a young, healthy woman.
[GRUNTS] There's nothing

Hi.

See you guys there.
Okay.

That looks like a month of gymnastics.
This was on clearance.
- Ross?
- Uh, Macy's.
Fancy.
I spoke to Stacey Matthews.
Goddamn it.
She said you were sleeping
in the parking lot at school.
In your car?
No, I was not sleeping. She's
God, I was just thinking.
Have anything to do
with your episode?
Is that what Ed said?
Jesus Christ. You know, what are
you, spying on my entire life?
[ROSEMARY] Watch your mouth.
She said "goddamn it."
'Cause I put salt in my goddamn coffee.
He's your husband.
He's just worried about you.
And I would appreciate if y'all
wouldn't talk to my husband
about my issues.
So, y'all are having issues.
You know what? I'm considering things.
I'm being interested in exploring things
and feelings.
Like maybe we shouldn't always
Okay, enough with your feelings, Leen.
You got enough feelings
to clog a toilet.
Did y'all hear about this senator guy?
[RANDY] Oh, yeah. What's his name?
I heard Jim going on about him.
- Richard something?
- Mourdock.
If he knows how to cook eggs over easy,
- he's got my vote.
- What about him?
Apparently, they say he might lose now.
To the Democrat.
'Cause he was saying
if you get pregnant from
it's 'cause God intended it.
What's From what? I missed the word.
- Rape.
- [ROSEMARY] That's disgusting.
Don't talk with your mouth full.
So, sorry, he's saying being raped
is all part of God's plan?
[ROSEMARY] Oh, finally.
[WAITRESS] Sorry about that, ma'am.
Yeah, sorry-schmorry.
No, he's saying if you's raped
and you get pregnant, you still
shouldn't have an abortion
because the baby was God's plan.
Missy, no one's having no abortion.
So if I was raped by some animal,
I could not have an abortion?
[RANDY] Can we talk
about something else?
- [SIGHS]
- I get about 18 minutes a week
away from Todd and the little monsters.
Sometimes they make me wish
I wasn't such a good Christian
woman, if you know what I mean.
- Randy.
- [RANDY] Stop.
I'm joking.
We all know Lina's the only one of us
that'd ever have an abortion.
Danica Tompkins had one.
That's What are you doing?
Missy, just shut up.
That baby had problems,
and you know that.
[ROSEMARY] That baby was a child of God.
- She had no right.
- Mom, it could've killed her.
[RANDY] See?
Oh, and I would not
have one.
[SIGHING]
[DR. HENRY] So, tell me.
[LINA] Mm-hmm?
- What were you doing?
- [LINA] When?
When you called the ambulance.
Oh. I wasn't doing anything.
- [LAUGHS]
- Oh, you were just sitting there
staring at the wall?
N-No. I, uh, was, uh, cleaning.
My eldest had spilled his OJ,
and I was cleaning it up.
Hmm.
Okay.
Oh, and I also, um
I was looking up someone
from my past on Facebook.
[DR. HENRY] Mm-hmm. Ah.
Yeah. But that didn't
cause me any panic.
Well, why would it?
How did it make you feel
seeing this person?
He. It's a he.
- [DR HENRY] Well, duh.
- [BOTH LAUGH]
I felt, I felt
alive.
Hmm.
Ooh, but it's not right
and I know it's not.
Plus the fact, okay, so
his wife is like a supermodel.
I made the mistake
of clicking on her profile
[DR. HENRY] Shh.
- So, two things.
- Yeah.
One, best thing for anxiety is
- Breathing.
- Exercise.
- Exercise.
- Exercise. Running.
Lifting. Fornicating.
Okay? And two, but
a very close number two, is
talking.
Okay? So, I got an idea.
It's a woman's group.
A group. [CLEARS THROAT]
Sort of, yeah.
Um, for what?
For women, sweetheart.
[LAUGHS]
No, you know,
you can talk about your life.
Have people there that'll listen.
Sounds like something new.
Sounds like something special.
Sounds like something women
don't usually have.
- Yeah. Sure.
- Yeah.
Cool. And how much does it cost?
[LAUGHS] Sweetheart. It's free, honey.
It's like a research group, okay?
All it'll cost you is a little
bit of time and some honesty.
And, baby, you get what you pay for.
All right?
Okay.
Oh, gosh.
- [DR. HENRY] But, honey?
- Yeah?
If looking up your old flame
on Facebook were a crime,
whole world would be in jail.
[LAUGHS]
[DR. HENRY] Hell, I'd be
serving two life sentences.
[LAUGHS] Yeah.
[GIA] She realised that for years
she had been forcing compensation.
Every time Ed ignored her in bed,
she'd wake up in the morning
and ask him to fix something
in the house.
It was the same thing
her mother did to her father.
It was a way to make up
for not being loved enough.
Looks like Sara-Beth is getting married.
And she's having this bachelorette party
and the whole nine.
I mean, we haven't spoken in years,
but we were so, so close in school.
Looks like it's in Indy, so
God, can you imagine?
Ryan's just about seven,
and in all those years,
I've never spent one night
away from him.
Isn't that funny?
[ED CHUCKLES] What's funny
is "bachelorette"
isn't even a real word.
It is, too.
What do they do?
Get together and rag on their husbands?
[ED CHUCKLES]
Speaking of which
Hmm?
Where you going?
I'm going to that women's group.
- What about the boys?

The women in that group
are counting on you.
So, sometimes sometimes,
you got to fake it to make it.

I've been very busy
in the kitchen this week with my mom.
No pressure, if you don't like
the sweets or something.
Remember, it's the chocolate chip.
Is that new? Have you had that
Not just your

It's something between a fish

Menthol, I hope?
Menthol, I wish. [LAUGHS]
You know, boric acid is great for that.
Well, I'll tell you one thing.
Dicks also smell.
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, God.
They don't know how to take care of it,
but dicks do not stink
nearly as bad as balls do.
[LAUGHTER]
- Ew.
- [DR. HENRY] Old balls?
You ever smell old balls?
It's it is O.B., not B.O.
God, totally, it's like
malt balls and horses.
Ew!
They really do. What are men doing?
No, no, no, no, no.
That is my cue to leave.

- Bye, balls.
[LIZZIE] Oh, wait, you guys,
I've got something freaky
that happened to me last week.
- Oh.
- [NERVOUS LAUGHTER]
So, me and Jeff, you know, the new guy,
we're going at it, and he asks
what my last boyfriend's
name was, so I just tell him.
[GIA] Um, Kent, right?
[LIZZIE] Yep, Kent.
So, then he says, "Did Kent
like it when he fucked that fat pussy?"
- [GASPING]
- [GROANING]
Uh, literally as the only
lesbian in here, no, thank you.
- "Fat pussy"? Come on, girl.
- [WOMAN] No.
- [LAUGHTER]
- We don't like that.
I don't know what-what came over me.
I just turned into a whore.
[LINA] What?
What did you say?
I said, "Fuck yeah, he liked it."
And then I said,
"And he liked to come in it, too."
And then he just finishes right there.
- [LAUGHING]
- [GROANING]
[FRANCINE] Did you?
- Of course not.
- [FRANCINE] Of course not.
Did you like it?
Um, I don't I guess. Ugh.
It was confusing, like
Like, what was that?
Yeah. It's cuckolding.
- [WOMAN] What?
- It's a thing.
Some guys like to watch their
girlfriends fuck other men.
And some just like to hear about it?
Sounds about right.
Apparently. [LAUGHS]
Wait, wait, wait, so hold on a second.
Did you like it?
Why does he get to just say that
without even asking first?
I get it, I guess. I get it.
And I don't like it.
[LAUGHTER]
[LIZZIE] You know, it made me,
like, really lubricated, but, like
does that does that mean, am I
am I disgusting?
I mean, I didn't like it,
but clearly, my "fat pussy" did.
I mean, the pussy wants what it wants.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Exactly.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
[GIA] Lina? [LAUGHS]
[LAUGHS] Yes?
Are you married?
- [LINA] Yes.
- Kids?
- I have two, yep.
- [GIA] Nice.
Your husband loves to watch you
with other guys, right?
[LAUGHING] No. My husband, no.
No, he he, uh
he actually said that kissing me
gives him the heebie-jeebies
the way wet wool does, so
[CATHY] That fucker.
He called you "wet wool"?
Yeah. Yes.
- Yeah.

How did that feel for you?
Um

[LAUGHS]
Um sorry.
[LAUGHTER]
Bye. [LAUGHS]
I was reading this
waiting for my appointment
the other day.
I mean, it's a James Bond story,
which, um, I just thought it was gonna
take me out of my own head.
It ended up just exactly
being about my marriage.
[GIA] Yeah, it's Quantum of Solace.
Yeah.
[LAUGHS] Yeah.
How did you know that?
My dad, actually, he
he loved that story, too.
He-he would read it all the time,
and he's not the kind of dude
who likes short stories.
Tell them.
[LINA] Um, well
it's called Quantum of Solace.
And it's, uh, the James Bond
Um, Ian Fleming writes about
this law he created
called the Quantum of Solace.
And, basically, it's
all our marriages will be fine
as we long as we treat each
other with some basic humanity.
It's when we start being cruel,
like when we start, um,
treating each other like we don't care
if the other person is dead.
That's, uh, when we've crossed
over into the end of times.
Like in your marriage or the world.
When one person just
You know, there's really
no coming back from that.
And, yeah, that's me and Ed.
That's We're

He pays the bills.
