S1 E15Unfinished Business

[Voiceover] I wonder how it could be, all of us quaking cowards, hiding under covers one day, storming beaches the next, shrinking violets impossibly frail. Our best days spent unquestioning, hurtling into hailstorms, the rest just spent. Opposite extremes, half definitions of the same thing, an inexplicable paradox perhaps best left in a bowl full of kibble to be lapped up by Schrödinger's cat.

[Voiceover] I've gazed into the eyes of contract killers… listening to them explain they were only trying to feed their kids. Con artists who insist that it's the mark's fault for being so stupid. And Dylan fans in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, defend their love of "Down in the groove". Yes, it's a rare person who admits they're a heartless, greedy bastard possessing absolutely no musical taste.

Tripp, you know this act won't last. Okay, the other night? That was your future. As soon as this new guy bails dash.

TSTripp Stewart

It doesn't matter. I'm not going to walk out on them. I know she's a wreck, but she's got to have somebody to come home to or all falls apart.

Wait. Okay, so you're going to destroy your life so your mother has a shoulder to cry on? Please, please, please don't do this. It's not worth it. In the end she'll resent you for it. Trust me, I've been there. I'm still there.

TTripp

I'm not you. This is different. I'm different.

Really? How so? Name one way that this is different. That your situation is different from mine?

TTripp

It's different because I have you.

[voiceover] One of the most difficult moments in anyone's life is when the fog of childhood lifts and we see for the first time our parents as people.

[sees Mary climbing down the tower of rubble towards him] Mary!

No, no, don't get up. God forbid you show some manners.

You need to get outta here!

Again with the manners? I'm not here 30 seconds, you're kickin' me out! What, were you raised by guinea pigs? [slips and falls down the rubble] Okay, okay, I might have just soiled myself.

[wincing in pain] Don't make me laugh!

So this is your new place? [slowly makes her way towards Lewis, who's buried in rubble] It's very industrial retro.

Where's my housewarming gift?

I never did get why when someone buys a new house you're supposed to buy them a present. I mean, why not just put a tip jar by the door?

Thanks for coming, but you need to get outta here, the whole building's gonna come down.

Quit being such a drama queen Lewis, we'll both be outta here in no time. You should see the show out there. [finally arrives at Lewis's side] So, you know, where's it hurt? I mean, other than everywhere?

[grabbing a medical bag that the doctor has thrown down] Please God let there be a ham sandwich in that bag. Okay Doc, walk me through this.

DDoctor

Before you do anything, you need to put on a pair of surgical gloves.

No glove, no love.

DDoctor

You're not allergic to latex, are you?

If I had a nickel for every time I've been asked that question...

If I wasn't dying, you'd be funny.

You're not dying. This was all just a ruse to get me to play doctor.

[speaking of Mary] Yes, Mr. Mayor, I'm still here. Why is she there? Well, Mr. Mayor, she assessed the situation and took a quick, calculated risk and put her life on the line. Quite frankly, sir, no one else had the balls.

What would you do if your partner committed a crime? What would you do? Answer the question, Mary.

I would stand by him. No matter what, because that's what partners do. You said it yourself: At the end of the day, all that matters you and your partner. You turned on your partner. The second things got ugly, Lewis. The one constant that gets me through it all, the only reason that makes it okay for me to be up here with a worm like you, is I have a partner who has my back, 24/7, no matter what. ... Oh, and Marshall, for the record, I'd sell you out for a Twinkie.

[Voiceover] I yearn for blind devotion; unthinking, unwavering. A cause, a thing, a principle worthy of absolute loyalty. The truth self medicating, a love unabating, something, anything to which relinquish all personal responsibility. Semper fi. Till death do us part. In nomine patris. Let's go Mets. To the true believers, the lucky few, of thee I sing.

The world has alcohol in it. This weekend is about her learning to live with it.

This weekend is about us being supportive and reconnecting with her.

God, this weekend is gonna blow.

[to Brandi, regarding her date with Peter] Where's he taking you?

Um, I don't know, I think it's a football game. The Governer's Bowl?

The Governor's Ball?

[shrugs] Maybe.

Monkey! Monkey, the Governor's Ball is the biggest social event of the season!

What?! Get out!

And it's all happening here at Barbie's Dream House!

[wakes up suddenly to find Brandi going through her closet] You know I sleep with a loaded gun next to me, right?
