02x18 - Cut Man

Post by bunniefuu »

I know what this is.

You're blowing me off, right?

I'm sorry.

I like you.

I just can't do it.

You gonna live your whole life this way?

I want to get into that cage, knock some rust off, you know?

Do you still like me?

I'm gonna be coaching Ryan.

Joe's gonna take care of you.

You have full reign of the gym, so long as Ryan's not here.

So I got to work around him?

You're my son. I love you.

I gotta look at you as a fighter. It's a business decision.

Who the f*ck is she?

I met her in rehab.

Why is she here?

Just a night or two...

She has no place to go.

Please, I need you.

The team doesn't work without you. I want you to comeback.

So then, what?

I'm seeing someone.

Who?

You know, the lawyer...

I'm not gonna stop seeing her.

Can you leave? I just wanna be alone.

(ALVEY SIGHS)

(OBJECT SCRAPING)

Shoo!

(SIGHS) What are you doing?

Hi.

Hey.

Lisa's back in L.A.

A few things I haven't told you.

Come sit down.

When we were splitting up, she got pregnant.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

It was an accident.

We tried to make it work, and it was done.

She went back home to have the baby.

About, uh, 7 1/2 months in, she lost it.

Oh, my God. That's... That's awful.

I'm really sorry.

Look, this happened right before I met you.

You know, I didn't... I didn't know how to tell you this, and it was just too soon.

And then it was too late.

How is she?

I don't know.

She wants to come back to work, though.

I told her about us.

What did you say?

I said it was new, and I wasn't gonna stop.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

She wants to come back to the gym as a partner, 25%.

That's what you want?

I need her.

I really do.

Place runs better with both of us.

I just don't know if she's ready.



(LIGHT SWITCH CLICKS)

(SIGHS)

What are you doing today?

Roxanne: I don't know.

I might just go back to sleep.

That's a good idea. You should do that.

Enjoy your Saturday.

I'd invite you to the fight, but it's Lisa's first night back.

I will happily not attend.

How are you feeling about all this?

You want to ask me anything?

(SIGHS)

What does she think is going on with you two?

She knows about us.

No, I know what you said to her, but what does she want?

Did she come back here just to work in the gym or is she expecting you to be together?

I really don't know.

I mean, it's okay if she is.

Obviously, I just met you, and you guys have a whole life together, so...

I respect that, and if you need space, you need me to back off, it's fine.

You just... You have to tell me.

I don't want you to back off.

Okay?

Well, maybe I should.

I don't want you to.

What do you want me to say?

Hmm?

I'm being straight with you.

I'm telling you everything here, okay?

I do not want this to end.

Okay?

Now, this woman's been through hell.

I got to be very gentle with her.

That's not what I meant. I just...

f*ck. Bullshit.

What?

I feel terrible for her, and... and for you, too.

I really do.

And I don't want to be... I don't want to be this woman.

You didn't do anything wrong.

I'm in her bed.

You're in my house, in my bed.

The thing with her and I had been over for a long time.

I told you that.

Ah, you don't have to say that.

I want you to know it.

I got to run.

(SMOOCHES)

Don't back off.

(CHUCKLES)

I'll see you later.

The reason I ask is because they didn't even know how to make these kind of cakes when I was a kid.

(SCOFFS) Can you believe that?

They didn't have the cake technology, but your children are lucky to be living in these times.

(SIGHS)

Keith with a "K."

$48.99.

Sorry.

It's a prison thing.

I'm making a grocery list. Any requests?

No.

Is that enough?

That's plenty.

You sure you don't want anything?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'll just get it myself.

It's too complicated.

I can get your supplements, Nate.

I'm not a moron. Here. Write them down.

You know she's getting high in there, right?

Yeah.

And it's okay for her but not for Jay?

I don't really unders...

It's not okay for anyone, but she's not my son.

I can't get her clean.

That's not something I can do.

I'm just trying to get her off the streets for a couple of nights.

I'm trying to help her.

She knows it's not permanent.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Welcome back.

Shelby.

Oh.

Oh.

What the f*ck happened to my office?

I wanted to welcome you back.

It's a bit much.

Just deal with it for a day, then I'll clear it all out.

Thank you.

Okay.

Okay, I'm fine. I promise.

Thank you for not asking.

I'd like to transition to work for you, if that's cool.

Why? Is Alvey giving you a hard time?

He just... doesn't get me.

Welcome to the club.

Um, will you do me a huge favor and at least bring this one to the front desk or something?

No problem.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.

Today's the day.

Today's the day.

(BAG THUDS)

Welcome back.

Thank you.

Hi, Alicia.

(CHUCKLES) Hey. Sorry about what happened.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm good.

I'm gonna go make something to eat...

All right.

...chill out for a little bit.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

What?

You guys, like, carpool now?

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I guess.

She... It's just... She's fun.

It's just... It's fun for right now.

Yeah.

Shut up.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

I can't even imagine what you went through.

Yeah, well, I already went through it, so I don't really want to talk about it.

I get it.

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry about your dad.

Well, we don't need to talk about that, either.

Fair enough.

I'm just glad you're back 'cause Alvey is not... management material.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Yeah. No.

Well, if you... if you do want to talk and, uh... or just grab a drink or whatever, you know, I'm around.

Thanks.

All right.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

(GRUNTS)

(HORN HONKING)

That's Nate. I got to go.

(SIGHS)

How long can you do this for?

Um, what?

Hold your hand over a flame.

Ow.

I can do that for a long time.

Try it.

Babe, I got to go.

Try it.

Nate: Jay, it's me. Come on.

You smell like spring break.

It's alcohol, Nathaniel.

Want to go for a run in the canyon?

No, let's go to the gym.

Ryan's got mornings.

Jay: Well, I won't look.

Jay, why start sh*t?

(ENGINE STARTS)

I'm not.

(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS ON STEREO)

Why don't we just go for a run, and then go to the gym later like everybody agreed on?

Agreement suspended.

I'd like to go see Lisa. She's back.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Hi, Shelby.

Hey.

This is for Lisa Prince.

Ooh, what is it?

It's a cake.

Sorry.

(SIGHS)

Anyway, what you can do is get me some plates.

I'm thinking forks, knives, probably some napkins.

The men here eat like animals, so God knows we need them.

Alicia in?

Uh, she's in the lounge.

Are you writing this down?

Go somewhere else.

It's so dope.

Alvey: Looking good.

They're cool, right?

You get any sleep?

Uh, like six hours.

That's good.

Let's move around a little bit.

Um, Lisa's back?

Yeah.

She back for good?

Yes.

(SIGHS) Is that a problem?

It's just...

It's just awkward.

The vibe is tense.

Oh.

You want me to ask her to leave?

(SIGHS) Come on, dude.

Don't make me sound like a bitch.

I have a fight tonight.

Oh, you have a fight, and yet the world continues to spin.

Lisa is not your f*cking problem, okay?

Got nothing to do with you. Don't worry about it.

Yeah, I'm trying not to.

Try harder, okay?

Shut the noise out and focus. That's what a professional does.

That's what you're gonna do.

So, let's prepare the right way.

Let's bring home a f*cking win. How about that?

Yeah? Okay?

Okay?

Okay.

Okay. Thank you.

Wrap your hands.

Don't call me "dude."

Chelsea?

Can I talk to you a second?

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

What's up?

Who are they?

Oh, they're just friends.

They need to leave right now.

Why?

Because this is my home, and they're not allowed to be here.

This isn't a flophouse.

(SCOFFS) Okay. Sorry.

Chelsea, do want to get clean?

Because if you do, I can help you find a rehab center...

f*cking don't, all right?

Don't f*cking mother me.

Okay. I think this will be your last night here.

And I want those guys out of here right now or I'm calling the police.

All right. We'll leave.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Yeah. Good.

Alvey.

Alvey: What?

Hey, your time is not till later today.

I'm not training. I'm just going to see Lisa.

I know this is your time. I respect that.

Come on, man. Come on. You're k*lling me.

10 minute, man. I swear to God. 10 minutes.

Hi.

Can you please just f*cking behave for once?

I always behave.

Just not necessarily well.

And I'm sorry if my presence sends shock waves.

Oh, I'm sure you're sorry.

But, um, if you could just stick to a schedule, that would make my life a lot easier.

I will do that for you.

Thank you.

And in return, I hope that you'll recognize that I am a free-spirited animal and that schedules stifle me.

I got it.

Okay.

How are you doing?

Better than I was.

I don't know how you get out of f*cking bed.

Well, I'm stitched together with a lot of good pills, so that helps.

Well, any of these pills you're taking...

Are they the sort of thing that Jay might enjoy?

No, you little sh*t.

If you have a few extras... I'm saying...

No, and actually, I've been hearing some really gnarly crap about you.

Well, those claims are greatly exaggerated.

Are you living at a f*cking hotel?

No.

I am not living in a hotel.

Then where do you live?

I am staying in a hotel.

Temporarily.

With Alicia's sister.

Yeah. She might be there.

Hmm. I hear she's a real piece of work.

(SNIFFS, SIGHS)

So, where are you living now?

Hmm? Miss Independent?

At a f*cking hotel.

What was that?

Don't be a d*ck.

I'm not. I just...

I couldn't hear what you were saying.

(CHUCKLES) You heard fine.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Since you've been gone, I got a bum right ear.

I just couldn't hear.

Yeah?

Hi.

Um, I'm gathering everyone in the lounge, and I need you to come, too.

And you, Jay.

Why?

I'd rather tell you in the lounge.

Do I need a hall pass, Principal?

Alicia: Thanks.

Alvey.

Yeah?

So, uh, I wanted to get that agreement in writing sooner rather than later.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, we'll figure it out.

Well, I don't have an attorney right now, so if you want Roxanne to draft something up, I'm cool with that.

Okay. Yeah. She will. She will.

I think you should get your own attorney.

Oh, I will.

(CHUCKLES)

But, uh, just... Let's get that ball rolling.

Gotcha. Let's... We're gonna make it roll.

Keith: Thank you all for coming in here today.

This is a big day for the... the Navy St.

Lisa is back.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Okay. Enough.

Enough, enough, enough, enough.

(SIGHS) And I speak for myself, I know, when I say that it has not been fun without you here.

Keith, Keith, just...

Yeah. Yes, Alvey. Thank you.

Lisa, I wanted to offer you this cake.

(SCATTERED APPLAUSE AND LAUGHTER)

So, everybody, dig in.

Um, but just please stay away from the face for as long as possible.

That's a lot of work someone did.

Ava with you?

Yeah, she's back at the hotel.

She gonna come tonight?

Uh, I don't know.

(SIGHS)

How f*cked up is she?

She's all right.

Yeah?

She's my sister. Come on.

It's getting hard to get her out of the room.

Alvey: Hey!

Yo, yo, yo. Where the f*ck you going?

I'm gonna go talk to my sister.

Don't do this now.

I'll be at the fight.

Don't do it. Handle it after the fight.

I said I'll be at the fight.

What do you want?

Why aren't you coming to my fight?

Because it's gross, and you look like a d*ke.

Why are you being such a bitch?

Can you just leave me alone?!

I've tried to leave you alone, okay, but you wormed your way back into my life.

So now, like always, I have to worry about you.

You really don't. (SNIFFLES)

What do you do in here all day, anyways?

Just lie here in a coma and wait for Jay to f*ck you?

Yeah, (CHUCKLES) that's actually what I... what I do.

You don't look like you're doing so well, either.

Well, at least I'm working towards something.

So, what?

You'll get pregnant again, and they'll probably take that one, too.

You know what? f*ck you, dude.

I didn't have a lawyer. I didn't have any money.

Still, I mean, they don't take kids from mothers.

You got to be a major f*ck-up for that to happen.

Hey. You got 20 minutes to f*cking get here.

Where are you? Get here.

Hey.

f*ck! Been trying to call you.

Look, I'm sorry. I didn't have my phone.

Um... What's wrong?

I got a cut.

Where?

What happened?

It's a long story. Can you just fix it?

Joe, epinephrine. Sit down. Sit down.

What if the doctor sees this?

Shh. Just hold still, all right?

Luckily, it's in your f*cking hair.

You keep your head tilted back, he won't see it, all right?

You're good. Look, that's fine, all right?

It's nothing. It's fine.

You're good. You're ready to go. You're ready to f*cking fight.

You got your sh*t. Go get changed.

Oh, is that... is that how it works?

Medical fact, sir. Medical f*cking fact.

No, and I'm not happy about it.

I'm gonna drive you back to the hotel.

Hey. What's going on, brother?

What's going on, man? How are you?

I'm doing well. How's life?

Good. Good.

Yeah? Doing good?

Hi. I'm Greg Jackson.

Uh, yeah. No sh*t. (LAUGHS)

How are you?

Good, man. Good.

I saw that fight. Really impressive.

Really impressive.

You got a phone, by chance on you?

Yeah.

Let me give you my number, and if you want to talk, let's talk.

Awesome. Yeah. I really appreciate that.

Thank you.

Cool. Yeah.

You guys have a heck of a good night.

It was really good to finally meet you.

Yeah. I'm such a big fan.

Oh, thank you very much. Brother.

Great to see you, coach.

Great to see you.

Take care of this guy tonight. I love him.

Yeah.

We'll see you guys. Have a good one.

Um...

The f*ck was that?

That's coach. That's how it goes.

I just know her name is Chelsea.

She was at the Casa Rosa Rehab a few months ago.

They might have a last name.

Uh, the guys, I've never seen before.

They f*cking took all of it.

Seven f*cking grand. They took all of it.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

And I can't even tell the f*cking cops.

Sorry, man.

Okay, I can't tell the f*cking cops.

I'm just supposed to f*cking eat it?

What the f*ck is her problem?

Why would she invite these f*cking shithead junkies into our f*cking house?

I think she was just trying to help.

Just trying to f*cking help?

She was... She was trying to f*cking help?

What else did they take?

They took the TV, your Xbox, a whole bunch of sh*t.

I don't know. It's a mess, man.

(SIGHS)

Want a drink?

Have one.

Alvey: I'll have a double.

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

Thank you.

To panic att*cks.

(CHUCKLES)

And insomnia.

And depression.

Mm-hmm.

And rage and loss.

Mm.

And self-loathing.

(CHUCKLES) That's not me. That's you.

Yeah.

But, um, bitterness?

I like it. I like it.

Yeah?

Hopelessness?

Oh, f*ck. I'm swimming in that.

Yeah.

Here's to all the f*cking pills that make the pain go away.

God bless.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

And f*ck you, God.

(CHUCKLES) Right.

I know you think that, um, I f*cking lied to you.

No.

I am not a basket case, I promise you.

I know that that's the last thing that Alicia needed before she went out for a fight, and it will not happen again.

I know, I know, I know. Lisa, Lisa, we made a deal.

You're part of the f*cking gym.

Okay? This doesn't change anything.

It's gonna take a little bit of time to get back to normal.

Everybody understands that.

Mm.

It didn't take you long.

That's not a dig.

It's just he wasn't real to you.

That's not fair.

I know it's not fair.

It's f*cking bullshit.

But my doctor told me that, uh, men don't know how to grieve this.

It's not your fault.

I'm f*cking hurting.

I am. I wanted this.

He wasn't inside you.

Are we really done?

Don't you think?

No. That's not what I thought.

Really?

I mean, let's be f*cking honest with each other.

You... You weren't happy.

Well, it felt better than this.

I f*cking hate you.

I want to rip off your face, throw it in the f*cking toilet, flush it.

Do you want to stay the night?

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Jesus Christ. Really?

Yeah. I don't want to be alone.

I got to make a phone call.

(RINGING)

Roxanne: Hi.

Hey. Where are you?

I'm having a glass of wine on your patio.

Where are you?

Are you with her?

Uh...

She had a little panic att*ck at the fight, so I took her back to the hotel.

Uh... she asked me to stay.

I really can't f*cking leave her alone.

No. No, you can't do that.

You'd be an assh*le if you did that.

Yeah.

Look, I wasn't up-front with you.

You know, I-I-I understand if you don't want to stick around.

I usually don't.

I'm just gonna go back to my place, okay?

I'll call you tomorrow.

What are you doing?

Oh, I'm just grabbing some extra clothes.

Why don't you just come home?

You're not hurt, right?

No.

You're okay?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. Then I'm gonna go.

Nate's here. You're all right.

(SHAKILY) Jay.

I'm not mad at you.

But this isn't my job.

I can't help you every single time.

You know?

Hi. You've reached Will Casady at the Burns Agency.

Please leave a detailed mess...

38 hours.

What was?

I had to deliver him.

I labored for 38 hours, and I never heard him cry.
