03x04 - Orlando

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

[Wickie] To our hustle!

-[all cheering]
-[Summer laughs] Ah!

This is how I was meant to travel.

Private, high emissions...

We blazed through the airport.
Zero security.

I stuffed a bunch of teddy bears
with baking soda

just to see if they'd catch it.

They didn't. Ah!

-Rock 'n' roll!
-There are no rules for the rich!

Oh, Dawnie, please don't ruin this for us.

Yeah, no big moral stands
about playing our old songs.

I'm not gonna say anything.

This is just a rich lady's birthday party.
Everybody does these and for worse people.

Beyoncé performed for the Gaddafis,
Usher performed for the Gaddafis,

Bon Jovi performed for the Gaddafis.

Time wipe, four minutes later,

the Gaddafi examples finally wrap up
with Nelly Furtado.

I'm not gonna screw up this gig.
It's 30 grand.

Yeah, and we need every single cent
for Radio City.

We need costumes,
dancers, professional HMU

because two of us are
straight-up roadkill without makeup on.

You know what?
This might be real cocaine in this one.

Because back in the day,

Stephen Dorff did give me
a teddy bear for Valentine's Day.

Am I talking like twice as loud
as I should be?

Yeah, I'll be fine, even though
our old music was pretty toxic.

I wanna do a list too.
It's alphabetical dogs.

Affenpinscher, Afghan, Airedale...

-Hi!

I'm Danny, Taffy's assistant,
best friend, and food surrogate.

She is so excited
you're playing her party.

-[Gloria] So are we!
-[Dawn] So are we.

-Okay.
-Oh, my God, it's amazing.

Apple is serving me an album
of "Lunch Lord Memories."

-Oh, I miss my normie.

Oh, maybe.

-Juneteenth, birthday...

What do you think Juneteenth is?

The start of summer. Whoo!

-[woman] Hey, Taffy.
-Mm-hm?

When I do baskets at the party,
how many do you want?

Should I do your age? Would that be cute?

So cute, Rebecca Lobo.

Is that really Rebecca Lobo?

Because when I do coke,
I always see Rebecca Lobo.

-Wait, we're not the only ones performing?
-Nope.

-[dramatic music playing]
-You guys are gonna die,

because the theme of my birthday party is:

"My posters come to life!"

Every poster I had
on my teenage bedroom wall, it's here,

brought to life by money.

Rebecca Lobo, you guys,

a real Monet, Zeke from California High.

-Oh, Zeke was so cool.
-[whimsical music playing]

Christ. Who melted Zeke?

He was in his 50s
when they sh*t that show.

[gasps] Oh, my gosh!
Pixie Jones is gonna be here?

She was my absolute favorite guest
on Summer & Kev's Variety Hour.

[Summer] Oh, yeah. Drop it.

-[Summer whoops]
-[laughing]

By the Power of Grayskull!

-Torque.
-[dramatic sting plays]

Amazing, right?

I was so bummed when you two broke up.

It was actually
just a publicity relationship

because his wife
he met in high school was boring.

[techno music playing]

We never got to be alone together,
even though I did develop feelings.

-Torque was so hot.
-[whimsical music playing]

I wonder what he looks like now.

-Oh, my...
-That's actually him.

Why was he so still?

-[sultry music playing]
-[Wickie] This could be trouble.

You know you guys
were my first concert, right?

You were on the bill
for the Disney Summer Spectacular

hosted by Jar Jar Binks and Bill Cosby.

-Oh, yeah.
-Fun memory.

'Cause backstage,
Fred Durst and Kid Rock realized

you could fill Super Soakers
with liquid sh*t.

-[Gloria] Yeah.
-[tense, pensive music playing]

-Can I talk to you for a sec?
-[Taffy] I'm gonna go over here now.

Dude, your vibe sucks.

-I might know someone with some coke.
-Okay.

Listen, just let it all out,
so you act normal.

Just tell me what you're burying.

I'm sorry I'm not feeling nostalgic
about the 2000s.

I'm embarrassed, okay?

There was a countdown clock
to when we became legal,

and yet there wasn't one
for Frankie Muniz.

-Did you want one, you creep?
-No.

-I'm just proud we're finally artists now.
-Don't say "artists."

We've honed our craft.

-Or "craft."
-I'm just not interested in looking back.

I think the best move here
is you don't talk to Taffy at all.

Okay, I won't.

[lilting music playing]

Thank you.

I need a Vodka Orbitz,
extra weird little balls.

Oh, God.

-Hey, girl.
-[sultry music playing]

Torque.

We haven't seen each other
since our publicists broke us up

to promote SnackWell's Cookies for One.

I know we weren't a legit couple...

but I always wondered
what it would have been like if we were.

'Cause my friend Mike
is having a really hard time right now.

Then I gotta do a mic check.

Then maybe you and I can have

[Summer] Oh, Pixie.

Can you do "Sweet'N Low Daddy"?

It is my favorite song
from the Heartbreakers soundtrack.

Oh, Crandall, baby, come here.

Do you wanna meet Dawn from Girls5eva?

No way, f*ck you!

Not you, babe, work.

Love you.

Hi, Dawn.

Nah, just tell them you found
the bones somewhere else.

That's it, that's it.

-Yes, we'll get this construction going.
-[dramatic music playing]

[Dawn] Gloria, get up.

Ah! [groans]

[music stops]

I am so jetlagged.

We didn't change time zones.
You crashed from the coke.

I can't leave my mouth locked.

Taffy married a Sweet'N Low daddy
and it's our fault.

I am gonna put you in a g*dd*mn bag.

Our old shitty songs
wormed into her squishy teen brain

-and made her want this:
-[Taffy gasps]

That's hilarious.

When's the funeral?

I love it.

-What else you got in there?
-Oh, sweetie, for you...

We didn't invent the idea
of a sugar daddy.

Women have always traded puss for boots.

[laughs] Puss for boots!

We found the clever one.

-Danny's fun. I'm going with him.
-Oh, my God.

-Party, Danny?
-Hmm. Let's do it.

[whimsical music playing]

-Oh, my God.
-[Wickie] Dawn!

Torque is giving me
a massive Home Alone doorknob.

-A what?
-You know in Home Alone?

When Kevin heats up that doorknob
until it's glowing red-hot?

I have that for Torque.

Ugh.
Don't use a Christmas movie like that.

But, wow, you've been with the lunch lord
for what, like four months?

-This is a record for you, Wickie.
-Excuse me?

Well, no offense, but usually,
you just kind of do whatever you want

-and not think about anybody else.
-Receipts!

You were in love with Bell
until Biv was interested,

and then you ditched Biv
as soon as DeVoe came calling.

Oh, she gonna pork Torque?

She's at the part where she's pretending
she doesn't know what to do.

I'm not pretending. This is serious.

[in unison]
This time I'm really not sure what to do!

Oh! Forget you.

Oh, God. Who can I talk to about this?

Who will listen
and treat me like a person?

-[pensive music playing]
-Oh.

This might be awkward.

Dawnie,

Pixie did not like how I sang her song.

Oh. When you scatted?

[gasps] Did you not like it either?

Don't feel bad, Sum.
We all took regrettable swings back then.

[rap music playing]

Shabba!

This is Rap Dance.

Rap dance is like this:

Bam! Bam!

And: Bam! Bam!

But... [groans] I can't have Pixie hate me.

I'm Summer.

Being hated is a part of being a grownup.

You just have to suck it up
and deal, Summer.

No, I have to figure out a way to fix this

and make up
for what I did to her back then.

[gasps] Is the HGH working, baby?

Same, girl, same.

Okay, I have a problem,
and you take me seriously.

-[whimsical music playing]
-Torque is here,

and I have a Home Alone doorknob for him.

Okay.

A little weird you calling me,

but I did say
you could always tell me anything.

So I guess I appreciate your honesty.

And I know you two have history,

and he's gorgeous.

He is, right?

I'm sorry.

Well, end of the day,
I'd probably forgive you.

I'd be sad.

I'd cry, and listen
to Annie Lennox in the tub,

and tell everybody I'm fine.

-[dramatic music playing]
-But inside of me...

I'm dying.

You'd forgive me?

-[scoffs]
-Okay, bye!

[whimsical music playing]

Taffy asked me
to do a big introduction for her,

but she can't hear me behind these doors,

and I'm leaving in three months
to be a cruise prost*tute, so...

-Taffy England!
-[guests cheering and applauding]

[pop music playing over speakers]

[Taffy] I'm 37!

Brava! You look super krunk, Taffy.

It's the iconic catsuit from the video!

[laughs] From Weird Al's
"Oops, I Farted Again" parody.

Couldn't get Britney's.

Speaking of great stories,
tell me about Crandall.

-Is this your house he moved into, or...?
-Or.

Crandall's the super rich one.
I think from real estate.

He owns a baseball team with a name
that honors a group's heritage.

And you guys met...?

At a Swarovski.

I was working, and he came in
looking for a gift for his wife.

He described her,
and she sounded like she sucked,

and I was like,
"You can do so much better," and he did.

-[laughs]
-Mm.

so we could build a pickleball court.

Look, hey, I am proof that it's never
too late to follow your dreams.

So tell me, what did you wanna be
when you were younger?

Did you ever want more for yourself?

More? What more could I want?

I have the most.

I throw amazing parties and I've been
to every country with a Nordstrom.

No, sorry, sorry.

I just thought maybe you might have had
dreams of cutting hair or something.

The hair I get comes pre-cut,
so that doesn't even make any sense.

And I didn't pay you to, like,
come here and judge my life.

-No, no, no.
-You know what?

Maybe I'm misremembering.
Maybe I never had a Girls5eva poster.

-[tense music playing]
-[Dawn] No, no. Yes, you did.

Rebecca Lobo can just do more baskets.

Wait, how many more?

An artist prepares!

What did you do?

Nothing.

She just changed her mind
and now she hates posters.

[gasps]

You said something, didn't you?

Oh, you are so lucky
that I am riding the dopamine serpent,

and the only thing in the world I want
right now is to be the hero and fix this!

Please welcome the cast of Bring It On,

except for Kirsten Dunst
and Gabrielle Union!

[cheerleaders] Bring it on! Bring it on!

-Taffy, wait!
-What?

You wanna judge me too?
Just 'cause I married a rich oldie

and take an ALS drug 'cause
one of the side effects is fuller lashes?

Nah, I'm cool.

Look, don't worry about Dawn.

We all hate that bitch.

I'm lying. You're my sister.

I don't want her performing at my party.

What if she didn't?
What if you did her part instead?

Come on, you said you know the choreo.

[Taffy] What?

You want me to be
in Girls5eva tonight? Really?

Oh, my God, yes! Yes! [gasps]

So this fixes everything.

You could be up onstage,
you could be doing your thing,

and the lady you're mad at
isn't up there ruining it. Blam-o!

I know how to get Pixie to like me again.

Hey, Taffy. Could I borrow you for a sec?

Oh, hi. No, no, no!

Taffy, you have to let Pixie sing
"What if the World Was Round?" tonight.

That song with all the scatting?

-There's not supposed to be any in it!
-[Summer] No, that was all me.

Pixie deserves to sing her beautiful song

the way that she wrote it,

and I promise you,

I am gonna keep my mouth shut.

Starting...

[mouths] now.

Sure. Why not? I'm happy again.

Because we're your heroes?

No.

Because you made me feel like I felt
back when I had your poster on my wall,

back before I found out
my dad had a second family

and I lit all those fires,
and my mom got blamed,

and we lost the apartment,

and I had to drop out of school
and dig graves behind the vet's office.

Okay.

That's what people love about nostalgia,
dumb-dumb.

Makes them feel like they did
when life was easy. You know?

Probably because
you didn't know any better. But for me?

you know, smelling Dunkaroos, okay?

So get over yourself
and let me enjoy my party.

Yep. Okay.
