You're the Worst · Season 2, Episode 7

Jimmy, Gretchen and others in “There Is Not Currently a Problem”

Jimmy

What is going on with you?!

Gretchen

The only thing going on with me is I am trying to make-do being stuck in this house, and you're obsessed with this stupid mouse! I know, let's do shots. [Picks up two empty bottles] Oh, my God, we're out of booze.

Jimmy

Good. I think you've had enough.

Gretchen

You've had enough. Edgar! Edgar! We're out of booze.

Edgar

We'll make a run later. [beat] M-Maybe Jimmy's right. Relax.

Gretchen

Relax? Says the guy so riddled with anxiety, he can't sleep through the night without screaming!

Edgar

Yes, well, uh, we all know that I'm taking the prescribed steps to overcome the very common issues caused by combat situations.

Gretchen

Ugh! We know. You were in a war. Get over it! And while you're at it, get over Lindsay. Have enough self-respect not to focus on someone who's still clearly obsessed with her lame, soft ex-husband.

Lindsay

This is really hard for me.

Gretchen

Oh. "Waah. My husband left me for a female him, and now I can't function in life. Waah!"

[Dorothy laughs, causing Gretchen to turn to her]

Gretchen

Oh, and you! Theater girl!

Dorothy

Yes?

Gretchen

Improv is the lowest form of comedy. That whole school of yours is just a bunch of actors so janky-looking, no one will write lines for them, so you have to make them up yourself.

Dorothy

[into it] Aw, shit.

Gretchen

You're what this town calls a tweener. You're not hot enough to be the lead, and not fat enough to be the funny friend.

Lindsay

You already did me!

Vernon

Do me, do me.

Gretchen

Not worth it.

Vernon

Aw, man.

Jimmy

Look, as spectacularly entertaining as this is, maybe you should take a breather.

Gretchen

And then there's Jimmy.

Jimmy

Aw, shit.

Gretchen

No, seriously, Jimmy, I feel such empathy for you, being a writer. I mean, everyone feels sorry for kids forced to work in the diamond mines in Sierra Leone, but where is the telethon for the noble writer? Bravely drinking coffee, spilling his blood to get his feelings out, filling two, maybe three whole pages before his heroic effort is cut short by the desire to watch Internet porn or get a snack! All of you! Sucking the air out of the room with your self-pity-riddled non-problems! Except you, Vernon. You got real issues. You're married to Becca.

Vernon

Ha! Vernon, ya burnt!

Gretchen

This place is an emotional black hole, and if it wasn't for the runners—yes, they have a name, they're not just "the people," you giant doofus—I would be driving as fast as I could away from you all! But I can't! Because apparently, I live here now, due to completely-beyond-my-control wiring issues for which there will be a lawsuit. Yes! There will be a lawsuit! [sniffles] There will be no lawsuit.
