♪ GRAHAM: Welcome to "Everlasting."

QUINN: Let's go, people.

I want nudity, 911 calls, cat fights.

Get me some good TV.

Your suitor, Adam Cromwell!

There's a lot of eyes on you.

You're the first black suitor.

- [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

- I need my dragon.

RACHEL: I create conditions for things to happen.

Listen to everything I say and just repeat after me.

Will you marry me?

Love is swell...

but it is not something you build a life around.

How many times have you made me look like a fool in front of these people?

You want to demote me?

You demote me to my face.

[GRUNTS]

- Are you taking your meds?

- Don't do that, Mom.

I'm sorry you feel judged.

- So it's okay.

- Don't shrink me.

JOHN: You want to come home with me?

Quinn, what is it?

You want kids, and I can't have them.

I won't be anybody's disappointment.

Chet?

What the hell are you doing here?

I'm taking my kingdom back.

What in the hell are you guys doing?

I'm putting someone else in charge.

Coleman Wasserman, come in here please.

He is the one in charge now.

I'm not gonna let you touch this place.

I'm a reporter.

That woman Mary, who jumped off the roof last year, that was a m*rder.

Coleman knows about Mary, and he's about to expose us.

Right now, we really have to stop him.

You don't ever have to worry about them again.

I told you I'd do anything.

MAN: We have live breaking news at 11:00.

Emergency crews are on the scene of a single-car accident at Baywood Canyon Road.

MAN: Lies are what k*ll us.

The stress of keeping up those lies is poison.

Every lie we tell is one step closer to the grave.

♪♪ Rachel!

Surprise!

So, this is what you've been doing for the past six months?

Floating in the water and tending goats?

Yeah, I'm, uh...

I'm committed to this healing practice called "Essential Honesty." What?

I mean, I'm doing my own version of it, but it's like, no lies... ever.

Wait.

Is that really what you thought your problem was?

Lying?

When I first got here, I was just producing people all the time.

Manipulating them into giving me what I wanted.

It's part of my program.

I write down all the lies I've ever told.

Then I tally up the days that I've been lie-free.

I'm on a sober streak.

Huh.

Well, that's interesting.

But, um...

I have a better idea.

Quinn, look, I know that we said six months, but...

I'm in a really good place.

Well, I'm not.

"Everlasting" is about to be canceled for real.

What?

Yes.

They can't get any advertisers because of the whole PR nightmare last season.

I mean, people who used to dry-hump my leg at parties now won't even call me back.

I need "Everlasting" to be back up and running so that I can build my empire.

[SIGHS]

Fine.

You want me to say it?

I need you.

I miss you.

♪♪ CHET: She's the female Elon Musk.

She's hot, sexy, smart, but single.

It's a plague of our generation.

Women like her, they do everything right...

got banging careers, they've been on every dating app...

but the more successful they get, the harder it is to find the right guy.

- Sounds depressing.

- More like real.

This is the truth of the world out there.

This could finally be our Emmy.

- An Emmy?

- How about we just make our days?

Or how about we start with something simple, like, I- I don't know, nobody dies.

How about that?

Serena is our girl.

She's the feminist suitress.

- Feminist?

- Okay, listen, Gary.

I know the brass upstairs is busting your balls about all this pink-hat, female-empowerment crap and quotas.

Serena ticks off a lot of boxes.

I can get them off your back.

You do realize that your career's on life support, right?

- Yes, Gary.

- But we covered for you.

We let you throw Wagerstein under the bus.

But people like you cannot make the same mistake twice.

You mean women like me.

Chet can live his life like a walking bozo parade...

- Hey.

Hey!

- But me, I'm one and done.

All right, all right, right.

Listen, it's a go.

But if this goes south, like last year, you're fired.

An Emmy?

Nice touch.

I meant it, Quinn.

I got to start thinking what I'm leaving behind for my son, especially since I can't see him since the, uh...

You kidnapped him?

I want him to know what I did with my life.

Okay.

- Hey, guys.

What about Maddie?

You bringing her back?

Why do you care about Madison?

Ugh, you didn't.

Maddie's the future, Quinn.

You need her.

Great.

Thanks, Gary.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

DAN: You shouldn't have worn shorts.

Get off of channel 1.

Hey, Rach.

How's it going?

Oh, kind of freaking out.

Ooh, I can't breathe.

And I've got my period.

- It's pretty heavy, actually.

Yeah, but you know what?

I'm gonna be fine.

I'm gonna make it through.

- I always do.

- Cool, it's nice to see you, too.

- I need you to...

- It's not what?

- Nice to see me.

Dan, come on.

Let's just cut the crap.

Let's just be totally honest, okay?

- Okay.

- We can't stand each other.

I wouldn't say that.

I mean...

Just tell the truth.

It's gonna make you feel so much better, I swear.

Okay, all right, yeah.

It's, uh...

It's kind of terrifying to see you.

- Right?

- Totally stresses me out.

- Right?

See?

- Yeah.

Okay, great.

This is great.

Do it on me.

No, Chet.

It's not a party trick.

It's my life.

Come on, little weirdo.

Don't call me that, please.

It's a term of endearment.

Okay, well, it's not funny 'cause it flips me out.

I want to know what you think about me.

Tell me the truth.

♪♪ Fine.

Um...

you are an overpaid, uh, incompetent man-baby who's riding on the backs of women who do all of your work for you.

You're too dumb to know how pathetic it is that we had to use you to push Serena through to the network just because you were born with a d*ck.

And I never understood what Quinn saw in your fat, sweaty, drug-addled ass, but whatever it was, you wasted the best years of her life and destroyed the one person who is ever gonna care about you.

QUINN: Hey, Rachel!

So, that's the truth.

I'm gonna go get my walkie now.

QUINN: Get back to work!

Stop standing around!

Don't worry about it, okay?

It's just a phase.

She'll be out of it in a week.

Hope she doesn't k*ll somebody between now and then.

Oh, hey, Rachel, listen, I...

Five minutes, Graham.

Five minutes.

- Thank you, Rachel.

- You're welcome.

- Hey, Quinn.

- Graham, just the Spanx on.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- Hey, loose cannon.

Um, would you like to explain to me what the hell happened out there?

That was just the cleansing fire of truth.

- Oh, okay.

- Mm.

Well, I am going to need you to get your sh*t together because Chet is still your boss, and, like it or not, Gary trusts him.

I'm fine, too.

Okay.

- Hi.

- Wow!

They, like, really did a number on you at that cult.

It's not a cult.

It's a farm.

It's the same thing.

Rachel, it's the same thing.

Sequins pop.

Cleavage communicates a certain...

Not exactly.

Yeah, well, I can't promise that that's not gonna happen, Rachel.

Okay, you know what, Serena?

If you don't play ball, Quinn is gonna screw you just to have a good story.

Oh, please, I watched the last six seasons in two weeks.

She always protects the star.

No, she always protects the show, okay?

We've had bad-boy suitors before.

You think she's gonna think twice before turning you into a bitch?

How could she do that?

By airing the footage of you cutting Norman in the opening night, not even having the decency to wait for the elimination ceremony.

You are smart, pretty, and successful.

Half of America already hates you.

I mean, if that footage gets out, you better hope your future husband is back there, that he's one of those 26 guys.

Otherwise, I mean, you're screwed.

Yes, America is gonna know exactly who you are, but just no guy is ever gonna want to date you, like, ever.

So, what do I do?

You kiss Norman.

What?

Why?

Listen, because, if you kiss the short guy...

the least expected guy here...

you instantly make yourself likeable and you get America rooting for you again.

Yes, or I make myself an enormous joke.

- Come on.

This is not part of the plan.

- Your plans are for sh*t.

You're on a reality show trying to find a husband.

You have done everything else, and it hasn't worked.

Just give me a chance to make this right for you.

[SIGHS]

I'm gonna need a drink.

Yeah, yeah, I feel stupid, and I'm pissed.

I-I got a producer saying that.

that I need to shut up.

- I got another one ignoring me.

- Yes, get her drinking.

Give her another sh*t.

Make her take another one.

- the butt of the joke here.

- Hi, Norman.

- This is ridiculous.

- Can I talk to you for a second?

So, uh...

I just...

I know I made a mistake earlier, and I-I didn't mean to cut you.

I made a rush to judgment.

- Uh, thank you.

- Yeah.

Thank you for saying that.

I appreciate it.

It shouldn't surprise me, though.

Honestly, I'm pretty used to being underestimated.

Most people don't even realize the strength it takes to harness a thoroughbred.

I mean...

QUINN: Oh!

Yes.

Ride that pony, Missy.

Ride it.

Nice work, Rachel.

You're a wild little filly, aren't you?

[BOTH LAUGH]

Get them off.

MAN: Come on.

Come on.

Yeah!

♪♪ [CHEERING]

♪♪ [LAUGHS]

[CHEERING]

Whoo!

[LAUGHS]

Here's to you, Goldie.

Nice work.

That ass is officially stick-free.

Yes.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay.

Looks like you got enough there, and she's clearly had way too much to drink.

I'm not really comfortable with this.

Well, you better get comfortable, okay?

This is how we make the show work.

I can feel you guys.

What?

Okay.

Okay.

Fine.

Fine.

We're running out of hard night anyways.

Bunch of pussies.

Cut, cut, cut.

All right, go on, Goldberg.

Go get Miss Fancy-Pants ready for the elimination ceremony.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Serena?

SERENA: Yes!

Yes!

[MOANING]

Dude, oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Okay.

Stop.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

- Okay, let's go.

- [SIGHS]

- Oh my...

- [LAUGHS]

Okay, I just told you to kiss the guy.

I know.

And then I just did that.

Um...

- Um...

- Oh, my God.

Okay, come here.

It's okay.

Come on.

[COUGHS]

[SPITS]

- There you go.

- Oh.

- Oh, I don't know what happened.

- Oh, my God.

Don't worry about it.

- It happens to the best of us.

- So not like me.

Maybe it was something I ate.

Oh, I don't know.

You think it was all that tequila you ate - on that empty stomach?

- No.

Rachel, you don't understand.

I...

I never do this.

I mean, I don't...

I don't even kiss guys until the third date.

I don't text first.

I don't...

I don't use emojis.

I mean, my mother gave me a copy of the rules in sixth grade.

[WHISPERING]

God.

How could I do that?

Are you kidding me?

Come on.

You're like everybody else on this planet.

You are screwed up and lonely and figuring it out.

Yeah, maybe your friends are like that.

My friends are all married to very beautiful people who went to incredible schools and made sensible real-estate investments for their future kids.

[SIGHS]

Do you have any idea what it feels like to walk into Sunday brunch full of those couples...

Alone?

I don't.

But I can imagine it feels like sh*t.

[SIGHS]

The weird thing is, I did everything right.

I did everything just like them.

My friends say that I'm too picky...

that no guy is good enough.

But the truth is...

nobody picks me.

Look, you listen to me.

You're incredible.

You deserve to find somebody who loves you just the way you are.

I promise.

- [CHUCKLES]

- I'm gonna make that happen.

- Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.

[SIGHS]

Okay.

Let's do this.

GRAHAM: Tonight, half of you will say goodbye, while the other half of you will say hello to a brand-new slow watch.

With its sole 24-hour dial, the slow Jo is proof that minimalism and luxury can go hand in hand.

Was that your idea, these commercials?

- You're welcome.

- GRAHAM: Serena, the floor is yours.

It's been a really great evening.

And I'm thrilled that you're all here, and I look forward to what comes next.

August.

QUINN: Okay, yes.

Saw that coming.

- Alexi.

- Yeah, sexy Alexi, get it.

- Warren.

- The cowboy.

Fly-over state, people, fly-over states.

- Zach.

- [SIGHS]

- Yes!

- Are we gonna have to bring his nanny?

- Preston.

- Oh, oh, he could be his nanny.

JAY: Perfect.

- Jasper.

- Jasper.

Thank you.

He is perfect, isn't he?

Don't screw that up, Jay.

- Owen.

- Okay, Rachel.

You got one.

I want you to know that our moment tonight was really great.

Probably one of the best.

RACHEL: Oh, isn't that sweet?

Oh, look at the big balls on that little fella.

You know, jockeys have...

There's a lot of testosterone in a concentrated area.

Well, I got to hand to him.

He does have swagger.

That must have been one hell of a kiss.

Look, nice work, Rachel.

Nice work.

This is gonna be a great season.

GRAHAM: This is the last watch of the night.

[SIGHS]

Billy.

Are you kidding me?

What the hell?

GRAHAM: Well, guys, um...

Now, how did that happen, Rachel?

that concludes our elimination ceremony this evening.

Hey.

Ah, so you cut Norman anyway.

- I did.

- Why did you do that?

So he wouldn't be around and tell anybody you guys had sex?

No, I cut Norman because he's never gonna be my husband.

I made a mistake, obviously, but I assure you, it will never happen again.

SERENA: The truth is, I'm a shark.

I am very ambitious.

I'm really, really good at my job and I don't want to have to apologize for that.

- Okay, no.

Just cut.

- Everything that I've wanted...

- I've achieved.

- Cut, cut, cut.

Nobody's gonna want to jerk off to that.

Who jerks off to "Everlasting"?

Who doesn't?

I don't know.

Are you really gonna be here every day?

I mean, you already pitched Serena to the network.

You brought your girlfriend by for opening night.

Isn't your work here done?

CHET: I'm just getting started.

I'm serious about this Emmy thing, Quinn.

Oh, sure.

That makes sense.

This whole mid-life crisis thing.

It's not a crisis, Quinnie.

It's an awakening.

Okay, but I mean, come on.

Crystal?

It's just easier, Quinn.

She's easier.

[LIGHTER CLICKING]

What is this?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Uh [CLEARS THROAT]

I know this is gonna sound pretentious, but my room is just too confining.

You know, I'm used to sleeping out under the stars, you know, fresh air.

You should try it sometime.

You know, I was actually thinking about joining the Peace Corps for a while, too, there.

- Oh, yeah?

- But then, you know, life got in the way or whatever.

- So, but yeah.

- Yeah.

Yeah, it does that.

Anyway, where were you thinking of going?

I was thinking about Africa.

Oh, man.

I love Africa.

- It's amazing, right?

- Yeah, it is.

I mean, people talk about it, but when you go there, it's just beyond your comprehension.

- Rachel?

- So much...

Hey.

You got a second?

- See ya.

- Yeah.

JEREMY: Hey.

Okay, just listen to me.

I...

Look, I'm serious about the work that I've been doing on myself, Rachel.

I wouldn't...

Will you stop?

Honestly, you are an insane person.

I don't care about what rehab you've done.

Do you understand?

Dude, you k*lled two people.

Rachel.

What?

I mean, what were you thinking?

How do you even do that?

♪♪ Because you told me to.

What?

No way.

No way.

I was upset.

I was venting to you.

Come on, Rach.

You know me.

You knew that I'd do something.

You wanted me to.

No.

No.

I did it to keep you out of jail, Rachel.

'Cause I still love you.

- [DOOR OPENS]

- DR.

SIMON: Hey.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Everything's fine.

- Yeah?

- Mm-hmm.

I'll see you, Rach.

Yeah.

Listen, um, I just want to make sure you're all right.

Really?

Why do you even care, okay?

You're not even here for me.

[SIGHS]

Are you here for me?

- Oh, my God.

- Okay, Ra...

♪♪ GARY: Ooh.

Mm.

Mm.

So, how's she doing?

She got really drunk on the first night, made out with a guy, and then cut him.

Not the suitress...

Quinn.

I don't think she's got it anymore.

- Oh, really.

- Unh-unh.

So...

do you want to jump to the part where she starts talking about her dream wedding or...?

No.

Go back.

[TAPE REWINDING]

Okay.

I'm really, really good at my job, and I don't want to have to apologize for that.

Put that in.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.
