04x02 - Drunk in Love

Post by bunniefuu »



ZOEY: Growing up, I'd always wondered

what fate would have in store for me.

Who would I be?

Would I change the world?

Would I ever successfully
pull off horizontal stripes?


And while fate hadn't revealed

the answers to all my questions,

it had revealed the answer to one,

and it was a biggie.

Because on that fateful night in Mexico,

I said "yes" to becoming
Mrs. Zoey Johnson-Jackson.


Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?

♪ Serve it on a platter ♪

After three long years
of ups and downs with Aaron,


fate had finally brought us together

on a moonlit beach in Mexico

to celebrate our spontaneous
quickie wedding.


And just when I was starting to think

I had fate fully in my corner...

- [Siren whoops]
- OFFICER: On your feet!

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, snap.

Um, uh...



- OFFICER # : All right.
- I learned that fate

was a sometimes-y ass bitch.

♪ Learn something new every day ♪

♪ I don't know, so I'ma feel my way ♪

♪ Got the weight of the world on me ♪

- ♪ I'm grown ♪
- ♪ You can tell me ♪


♪ My heart b*ating so loud ♪

♪ Mama, look, I'm grown now ♪

♪ I'm grown ♪



Arrested? I am so... humiliated.

This is so humiliating, right?

Yeah, yeah, no. It's definitely, uh,

not a moment of excellence.

I mean, how did this even happen?

Aaron, what are the chances?

Well, I think the chances
are pretty good

if you steal a giant piñata in
the middle of a resort town.

But look, let's not
make this a big deal.

It's Mexico. The cops are just
trying to scare us.

It's like that show "Scared
Straight," but in Spanish.

I feel like all they want
is some money, maybe,

and then...

all this will be behind us.

- You think so?
- Yes.

- OFFICER: Vamos.
- Okay. Hi.


You ain't gotta push me, man.

Listen, I spent all my
money at the chapel.

- How much you got?
- I got... nothing.

I've got nothing, Aaron.
What are we going to do?

'Cause I'm gonna die in jail.

You are a year older than me.
You have lived.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you what we're
not gonna do, and that's freak out,

- because when you freak out, I freak out.
- Okay.

So, what we're gonna do is,
we're gonna hit Doug.

He's gonna come to
the station with some cash.

And then we'll be free to go.

Yeah, we just gotta hang tight. Phone.

Okay, got it. I got it.

- You can just...
- [Laughs] One sec.

- [Laughs] The wife.
- [Laughs]

Happy wife, happy life, am I right?

- [Line rings]
- I don't think he understood me.

[Band playing lively mariachi music]



- [Cellphone vibrates]
- The secret to tres leches

is that sneaky-ass third level of milk

really makes it hit.

Bro, enough about your
little soggy dessert.

Can we get out of here?

I-I don't enjoy partying
with -year-olds.

We're partying with
Lisette-Maria and Camilla.

I linked up with two local baddies.

They don't speak any English,

I don't speak any Spanish,
and you speak both.

I mean, those are literally
grown-ass women.

- Are we not having a good time?
- No, we're not.

Bro, look.

This just isn't what I expected, man.

I just thought we
was coming to the party,

I would help you translate
a little Español,

and then, you know, we Ciudad Aplastar!

Expectations is joy's sworn enemy.

- Bro.
- Listen, you're not having a good time

because you can't appreciate the gift

that's right in front of you.





[Cellphone vibrates]

Honestly, the only thing crazier

than you hacking and smashing
Javi's tablet

is you taking a flight out of Mexico

in the middle of the night.

Actually, the smashing
shows a fiery temper,

which means crazy in the sack.

- Mm.
- So I take that back.

[Sighs] Hi, guys.

Um, sorry to interrupt.

Ana...

can I talk to you for a minute?

Now's not a good time, bro.

[Sighs]

Ana.

VIVEK: Come on.

Really?

Oh, God.

So, you're gonna fly
standby back to L.A.

while Javi goes

to an all-you can eat
chilaquiles bar with Vivek?

Is that... That's what's happening?

Okay, I guess I didn't think
things all the way through.

I was mad, and I didn't
want to be around him.

I had to take some sort of stand.

Yeah, your stand should have been

making him go back to L.A., okay?

He's the one who gave you an STD.

- Oof.
- No, well...

Technically, he doesn't have it.

But he could have given it to me,

had he contracted it.

Which he didn't.

Okay, I'm sorry, what?

So you took us on this
whole song and dance

when you knew that Javi
didn't even have anything?

I know we did not just
waste a solid minutes

- on this nonsense.
- Okay, wait.

So no one here thinks that he
was wrong for not telling me?

I just don't know
if I care anymore, so...

Okay, listen. I don't understand

why people say they want full disclosure

in a relationship
when they obviously don't.

Now I see why Javi kept his mouth shut.

And, sh*t, I should have kept
my mouth shut with Doug.

Well, I kept my mouth shut with Phil,

and it didn't work out
great for me, so...

I mean, what is his problem?

Why can't he just be honest with me?

Girl, I don't know,
but it sounds like trust

is the real chlamydia
in this relationship,

and it needs to get treated.



[Indistinct chatter]

[Telephone rings]

Oh, my God.

This sh*t is getting real.

Aaron, I'm starting to sweat
behind my knees,

and I think I'm having my first

international panic att*ck.

- [Breathing heavily]
- Honey, it's okay, all right?

Look, there's nothing to worry about.

L-Look, they're handcuffed.
We're not handcuffed.

If we were in trouble, you think
they'd let us wander around uncuffed?

- No. Okay.
- No, you're right.

I'm okay. [Laughs weakly]

Okay, now, I'm gonna go
talk to our man up here, uh,

and get this whole thing sorted out.

We're gonna get back to the
villa, where we should be.

This may just be like
a little Venmo situation.

Watch me work.

Excuse me, Señor-o?

Uh, can I talk to you for a minute?

Look, I know you probably
think that I am

an obnoxious American tourist
here to exploit your country

and r*pe your land for its resources.

That's not the case at all,

because I'm not even American.

- I'm African-American.
- Oh, God.

Anyways, uh, listen... I don't
want to waste your precious time.

I know you're a busy man,
so I'm gonna get straight to it.

What is it gonna take

to get me and my beautiful bride
out of here?

[Ding!]

Now, I don't have any money
on me right now, per se,

but I do have some money

back at the villa we're staying at,

and this just came to me...

we should go get it
together... if you want.

Because I'm saying,
the place is very cool.

We have, um, a lot of cute chicks.

Uh... I mean, are they crazy?

Sure, but cute nonetheless,

and I'm willing to
make that happen for you.

I'm talking about carnitas, uh...

uh, shredded pork, um, hot sauce,

el swimming pool,
you know what I'm saying?

Yeah. You don't even need swim trunks.

I got the swim trunks.
What size you wear?

Extra large?

Nah, you're a large.

Slim, but fit.

Whatever you're into.

If you can just write your sizes down,

that'll work out.

[Ding!]

[Whispering] I don't know.

[Camera shutter clicks]



So, I guess it wasn't just
a little Venmo situation, huh?

I don't know what
you're complaining about.

You're not the one
handcuffed to a chair.

Well, I'm also not the one
who... hmm, I don't know...

solicited a guard.

Oh, well, I'm... I'm... I'm sorry, okay?

That I offered a man
some swimming trunks

so he could cool off
from a long day of jail work.

You know what? We're not gonna
throw the blame anywhere.

It's no one's fault that we're here.

- Mm.
- But to be clear,

there is one infraction
that put us here,

and that is you stealing the piñata.

Mm. Well, they wouldn't have found us

if we didn't have to linger on the beach

due to your delayed performance.

My d...

You watch your mouth.

It's called a penile pause.

All right? And it was intentional.

- Oh, is that right?
- Yeah. Yeah, that is right.

And you know what?
Maybe I was a little tired

because I had to cater
to your every need.

Oh, got you. So it's my fault?

I'm just saying, you were
walking around sulking all day

because nobody wanted to do
the activities you wanted to do.

I would have been fine
chilling at the villa,

laying back, incessantly having sex.

- Of course you would.
- Know what I mean?

Because that's all you ever want to do,

which is exactly how we
ended up on the stupid beach.

So, the beach sex was my idea?

You literally said, "I have an idea.

Let's go have beach sex."

Which is why we got arrested.

I don't remember that.

Okay, and we got arrested
because you stole a piñata,

which led them to us on the beach.

All that other stuff... the theft,

the ridiculous marriage...
that's your fault, Zoey.

Okay, fine.

You know, I'll take
all the responsibility

for the many mistakes I made tonight,

the biggest one being that
I am now legally bound

to a horn-dog with
a rattail named Avery.

Yeah, it's hard being married
to you, too, Zoey.

Because of your personality.

[Telephone rings]

[Radio chirps]

Can I please get some water?

It's hot!



Looks like, uh, you guys

are really vibing over here, huh?

I actually have no idea
what she's saying,

but it sounds fire.



[Speaking Spanish]

[Chuckles]

Bro, she said we 'bout to go
el bang-a en el baño.

What?

Watch my cake.
I'm going to work, my boy.

Mm-hmm.



Whatever that means. [Sighs]



[Telephone rings]

You want to know what's stupid?

That we waited this long.

You know, to be together.

[Sighs] It was never the right timing.

You were... You were either with Luca,

or you were... you were
on tour with Joey Bada$$.

I was either with Rochelle
or saving the university.

And then, finally, after three years,

we're... we're actually together,

and within two weeks

and an amazing first date, we...

decide to get married.

[Indistinct chatter]

It's insanity.

It's...

What's wrong with us?

[Radio chatter]

Okay, yeah, s-sure.

Getting married on our first date

was a dumb, drunk,
impulsive thing to do,

but isn't the real issue
right now that we're in jail?

Yeah, but we're only in here

because every time we're together,

we don't act like ourselves.

It's like we become these
two spontaneous idiots

that... that... that neither of us

can pull the other back from.

But, Aaron, that's not true.

Yes. Yes, it is, Zoey.

Uh, think about it.

Y-You stole a piñata the size of a Kia,

a-and I kind of just
sat back and let it happen.

Just like I let this
dumb-ass wedding happen.

And that's why we're here

and I'm cuffed to this dumb-ass chair.

Well, maybe we're cursed...

because of how we started
this relationship

in the first place.

You know, the whole Rochelle
thing was super messy,

so maybe this is just karma.

Karma, bad juju, curse...
whatever you want to call it,

it's just...

At the end of the day, it's obvious

that we bring out
the worst in each other.



Wow. Um...



Well, maybe instead
of cursed, we're lucky,

because at least now we know how we feel

about each other two weeks in.



So...

[Radio chatter]

[Lively mariachi music
plays over speakers]

She's mad at me.

She hacked my tablet, then smashed it.

I mean, half my thesis
was on that thing.

Chlamydia's not even that crazy, right?

[Stammers, sighs] Look, man.

I always try to ride for dicks...

as in "dicks over chicks"...
but I can't.

I'm sorry.

For sure, bro.


You don't need to apologize.

What I'm trying to say is,

I learned that lying
to someone you care about

never pays off.

I did the same thing
when I lied to Heidi

about my drug dealing.

It was the worst mistake of my life.

Really? Not the actual drug-dealing?

Are you kidding me?

There's nothing like dealing
a fistful of Captain Cody

to a trembling Latin professor.

But, no, it was the lying.

So be grateful
you still have your chick.

I just have my D.

And a broken heart.



[Sighs]

Thanks, bud.



GUARD: Hey, shredded pork.

Let's go.

- You're being released.
- About time.

Thank you, Señor-o. Appreciate you.

All right, Zoey, come on.
We're out of here.

- Let's go.
- No.

- Excu...
- You're out of here.

She stays.

What are you talking about?
I'm not leaving without her.

- Let's go. Come on.
- No, Aaron, it's...

- You can both stay. Fine.
- No, we're... honestly.

Aaron, all they wanted was one person

to admit they were guilty

of stealing the piñata, so I did.

This was on me. Just let me own up.

Why... Why... Why would you
do something like that?

- Why the hell would you do something like that?
- Aaron, I'm sorry.

- Oh, my God. Hey...
- Hey, why... Hey!

- Hey!
- Hey, watch the way you touch her, bro!

- Over a piñata? Are you guys kidding me?
- Hold on.

- Vámonos!
- Hey, move. Move.

Get off me! Zoey!

Get off me! Zoey! Zoey!

[Camera shutter clicks]

[Indistinct chatter, door slams]

- [Telephone rings]
- Yo, come on, my man.

Is this really necessary?

You're m... You're really making her

spend the night in there over a piñata?

If this is about money,
I can go to an ATM right now.

I told you. It's too late.

Just come back in the morning for her.

No, no. [Bleep] that!

- I'm not going anywhere.
- That's fine.

I'd be happy to arrest you
for harassing an officer

and throw you in there, too.

ANA: I just don't get it. Why?

Why is it so difficult

for you to communicate honestly with me?

Because you know that your reactions

can be a little...

[Sighs]

A lot. [Scoffs]

[Scoffs]

My reactions are perfectly calibrated.

First, when we're about to have sex,

you tell me we won't be having sex.

And now...

now I'm dealing with this STD mess.

I mean, it... it... it's obvious

you have a difficult time
sharing information.

No, it's obvious that
you have trust issues,

and I trigger those.

Well, I don't know how
to fix that overnight.

Definitely not gonna fix it

while we're on vacation
with your friends.

Nope.

I think I should go.

You enjoy your weekend,

and we can talk
when you get back to L.A.

I think that sounds like a good idea.

[Scoffs lightly]

[Laughs]

[Sighs]



[Door opens, slams]



After surviving a night in jail,

it seemed fate had answered
a few more questions...


like, "Would I ever serve time in jail?"

Turns out the answer was yes.

Would it be the most
terrifying night of my life?


That answer was also yes.

[Birds chirping]

Um...

Hey.

- I cannot believe you slept here.
- [Inhales deeply]

Yeah, I wasn't about to let you spend

the night in there by yourself.

[Chuckles]



When I saw Aaron that morning,
I had one more question...


would I do it all over again
and spend a night in jail


if it meant Aaron would be released?

Surprisingly, the answer
was another yes.




So, why'd you do it?

Why did you take the blame?

Because last night
when I was down and out

and such a mess, you rallied

and gave me one of the most
amazing nights of my life.

I just knew it was my turn
to finally rally for you.

[Huffs]

And I'm really sorry for everything.

No, you have nothing to apologize about.

It's... Last night was rough,

and we both said things we didn't mean.

Yeah, and there was a grain of truth

to some of what we said... like, um,

maybe us getting married

not being the brightest
decision we've ever made?

[Slowly] Yep.

[Normal] You think maybe
we should undo it?

I don't know.

Do you think we should?

Would it be awful if I didn't want to?

No, it'd be a little romantic.

But completely insane.

- Completely.
- [Laughs]

[Laughs] Okay, then, how about we agree

that last night was the craziest,

most impulsively amazing
night of our lives

and that that night should
stay right here in Mexico?

I got to be honest. There's...

There's something extremely sexy

about being able to call you my ex-wife

and my girlfriend.

[Laughs] Well, then.

- Aaron Jackson.
- Yes?

Will you divorce me?

I'd be happy to.

[Laughs]

I love you.

I love you too, Freshman.

Yeah?

So let's go get unmarried!

- Let's do it. After you.
- Okay.

Somewhere between the Mexican beach,

the Mexican jail,
and the Mexican chapel,


we learned that without
a marriage application


and a blood test,

our short-lived union
wasn't so legal after all.


But we also learned that
taking control of our destiny


when fate wasn't on our side

was how we were gonna stay together

and continue to try and bring out

the best in each other.
