04x10 - Surprise

Post by bunniefuu »

It's pretty complicated, right?

Maybe it doesn't have to be.

I'm Eddie.

I'm Anna.

Previously on
"A Million Little Things"...

I had feelings for you.

I just didn't realize it at the time.

I think I was too scared.

You had a date
the other day, didn't you?

You got me.

I went out with someone.

Does Dad know?

- CAMDEN: I love you.
- I love you, too.

Didn't realize you two
were dropping the L-word.

Sorry if that was weird.

My depression...

- It's back.
- Come here.

I appreciate you giving
me a second chance.

We all deserve them, right?

I want to thank someone
I leaned on today.

Someone I love.

[GASPS]

Happy birthday.

'Scuse me, happy th birthday!

Yeah, that's what women like,

when you point out their age.

[CHUCKLES]

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just had a weird dream.

No, no, no! Don't get up.

I want to do the same thing
for you that I used to do

for my mom on her birthday.

- Weird.
- What I used to do for her...

Get your mind out of the
gutter... is bring her...

breakfast in bed.

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, you used to do this for your mom?

Yep. As the story goes,

I used to eat her breakfast
before she could.

Fine. The rest is for you.

[CHUCKLES]

This is so sweet, but
I'm not really hungry.

Okay, great, more for me.

Look out. Coming in.

Oh, yeah.

Well, hey, make sure you're
hungry by tonight, okay?

- Mm.
- 'Cause after you get off work,

I want us to get dressed up
and I want to take you out for

a very fancy birthday dinner.

You know what I'd really
like is if we stayed in

and got takeout, just kept it low key.

Ah, quietly walk into your s.

Stay off AARP's radar
as long as possible.

- I get it.
- Mm-hmm.

Exactly.

I'm gonna go shower.

And I will cancel our
dinner reservations.

Great.

[SIGHS] Hey, it's me.

The good news is Maggie has no
idea about her surprise party.

The bad news is that
she shut down my plan

to get her dressed up and over there.

I'm on it.

[GASPS] Oh, my God,
I love a surprise party.

You make someone feel like crap all day

thinking you forgot their birthday

only to wait until
they've lost all faith

in their friend group
to yell "surprise!"

Oh, God, is that what we're doing?

Yeah!

She's gonna love it!

[CHUCKLES] Leave it to me.

Okay. Bye.

Dude, I don't know why
you played it all coy

with that labradoodle back there.

She's totally into you.

Let's be honest, Colin,
you're not getting any younger.

Well, you can't go back now.
You'll seem desperate.

Colin! What's going on, my man?

Still hangin' out with this loser?

Kevin, I thought I made it
clear when I finished chemo

I never wanted to see you again.

[LAUGHS] How you been, man?

All clear.

So, uh, go somewhere
else to drum up business.

Did you hear about Gail?

Yeah.

But, uh, she b*at it before.

She'll b*at it again.

How's Hector?

He's been by her side every minute.

I'm supposed to go over to the hospital

and see them later tonight.

Well, please give them my best.

I will. I will.

Heard about you and Maggie.

Really sorry about that, man.

Ah, it's fine.

It was over a year ago.

I've already managed to sabotage

another relationship since then.

[LAUGHS]

No, seriously, Maggie
and I are still friends.

It's all good.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Matter of fact, I'm going to
a party tonight for her th.

Wow! .

She did it.

Yeah.

Defied the odds.

I can't believe she
agreed to a party, though.

Well, it's a surprise party.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Look, I'd throw you an invite,
but, uh, it's not my party,

and to be honest,
nobody wants to hang out

with the dude that gave them chemo.

That's fair, that's fair.
I'll see ya around.

Oh, no, you won't.

I never want to see you again!

I was talkin' to Colin.

And stay away from my dog!

This arrangement is so cool.
I wouldn't change a thing.

God, I love Modern English.

I just want it to be perfect for Maggie.

And it's your first gig.

Yeah, it's one song.

Well, I'm gonna be there cheering you on

while you play it.

Speaking of which,

I wanted to talk to you about something.

I was thinking about
bringing Anna tonight,

but I only want to do that
if you're okay with it.

Are you kidding me?

I was the one who
parent-trapped you guys.

Plus, she's great.

Plus, she's not my mom.

[LAUGHS]

Well, I'm glad you're cool with it.

I just feel weird 'cause
Katherine's gonna be there, too.

Maybe I should call her.

Not a good idea.

On the other hand, if I call her

and make a big deal about
giving her a heads up,

it's gonna make her feel like
I think she's still into me.

Definitely do not call.

Maybe Maggie's th isn't the right time

for Anna to meet everyone.

I mean, don't let that stop you.

The only reason we know Maggie

is because she crashed my dad's funeral.

Ah.

Strong point.

Okay, let's just keep the appointment
on the books for next week.

Thank you.

Was that Dr. Heller?

Yeah.

Did you tell him you didn't think

your new meds were working?

Yeah, he says I got to
wait a couple of weeks

until I know for sure.

That's true. It's only
been a couple days.

I know how long it's been.

I just don't want to
go a couple of weeks

on the wrong medication
to start all over again.

Um, I'm... sorry.

No, no, I-I-I'm sorry.

I'm irritable.

And, um, I'm tired of
not feeling like myself,

and I'm even more tired
of feeling like maybe

this is my real self.

I'm gonna cancel with...

Dr. Heller?

No, lunch with my dad.

Oh, Rome, I really think
it's good for you to get out.

Yeah, probably.

But if I go out with my
dad feeling like this,

then I'm on the wrong medication
and looking at m*rder one.

[CHUCKLES]

GRETA: Do you have to run off so early?

I feel cheap. Used.

And not in a good way.

[CHUCKLES]

I'll make it up to you later,

but, uh, right now, I do have to go.

I have to pick up a gift
for my friend Maggie.

Oh, right, it's her party tonight.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know you want to take things slow,

but we've been hanging
out a bunch this week.

What do you think about
you coming with me?

You know, maybe meet my fancy friends?

Oh, um...

Sorry. That was stupid.

That's the opposite
of taking things slow.

I'm just, um... am really new at this.

Trust me, you're... You're great,

and I'd love to meet your friends.

I just think right now
might not be the best time.

Oh. Uh, why not?

There's something I haven't told you.

I'm married.

[SIGHS]

Katherine, wait. Please let me explain.

Don't!

The last thing I want
you to do is explain.

I can't believe after everything
you know I've been through,

you would do this.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Hey.

- Thank you.
- Yeah, yeah, I know.

Okay, she's here right now.

I'll tell her.

No, I hear you.
We will fix it, I promise.

Ugh.

Is everything okay?

Uh, this is awkward.

That... That was Jane.

Apparently, the testing on your poster

has been less than positive.

They test the posters, too?

They test everything.

And the pockets on your
blouse did not go over well.

They didn't like my frockets?

Okay, well, what does Jane
want me to do about it?

Hey, guys, what's going on in here?

MAGGIE: Oh, hey, Jane.

Uh, Claudia was just
telling me about the posters.

Posters?

She means the promotional photos.

Oh, the... the ones that
become posters, yes, yes.

They look great, right?

Is what people should be
saying, but they are not.

Okay, so how do we fix it?

Well, um, I've given
this a lot of thought,

and I think the simplest
solution would be if we...

And hear me out here... Uh...

Oh, you know what? I have to take this.

So, why don't you tell her, Claudia?

Hi. This is Jane.

She wants you to do re-sh**t today.

- Today?
- We have some outfits being brought in

and someone to do hair and makeup.

Don't worry. Nick is
a beautiful photographer.

Nick? I'm sorry, our Nick?

Angry Traffic/Weather Nick?

[CHUCKLES] We continue
to peel back the onion.

THEO: I'm telling you,
Dad, wear this one.

This'll get the ladies' attention.

Maybe Maggie has a friend you can date.

I'm just sayin', be ready.

I love your enthusiasm, T,

but why do we need me remarried
by the end of the night?

I kind of know something
maybe I'm not supposed to.

Okay. What is it?

I don't want you to get upset,
but Mom's dating some guy.

She wasn't gonna tell me,

but I caught her wearing
perfume the other night.

And Max Oberman says that
his mom only wears perfume

when she's on the prowl.

Apparently, that's what it's called.

Listen, Theo, Mom and I
aren't getting back together,

so I think it's important
for both of us to move on.

Which is why you need to wear this tie.

[HUMMING]

Okay.

Oh, oh! Mm!

Ooh, delicious.

Mmm, oh, baby, you
gotta try one of these.

I-I'll try one at the party.

Okay.

You know what?

I don't even want you
to try one right now

because it's missing a key ingredient.

You need me to go to the store?

No. What I need you to do is...

Get funky.

You're dating Peter's wife?

Ex-wife.

Sophie knows she's coming,
and she's fine with it.

You said it yourself.

No one saw you that night,

so I don't understand why you're so...

Because, Ed. Because you...

[LAUGHS]

Between Delilah and Anna,
you have... you have a habit,

a bad habit of dating people that you...

You have no business dating!

Dude, I get why I shouldn't
have been with Delilah, but Anna?

She's the first person
I've liked since my divorce,

since I've been in this chair.

She likes me for me,
and I don't understand

why I can't pursue that because
of a mistake that you made.

Theo just told me
Katherine's seeing someone.

What, I can't move on?

[SIGHS]

You're right.

You're right.

Whatever happens happens.

Dude.

She didn't see you,

and I'm certainly not gonna tell her.

But if you want me to, I will call her

and just tell her
we're not going tonight.

No, man, you don't have to do that.

[SIGHS]

I'm sorry, Ed.

I'm happy for you.

[CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

While we're airing our dirty laundry,

you should know that the person
Katherine's been seeing...

it's me.

It's pretty freaky,
the stuff we do sexually.

Our safe word is "Eddie."

Guys, come on!

The key to a surprise
party is to show up before

the person you're surprising.

Tyrell, I'm sure you look beautiful.

Let's go!

Rome, and I'm sure you...

look like you're about
to run a half-marathon.

Why aren't you dressed, baby?
We got to go.

I'm gonna take a run.
I-I'll meet you guys there.

Really?

Just not in a great headspace.
Thinking maybe a run will help.

Did you see my headphones?

I had 'em when I was
talking to Dr. Heller.

Could've sworn they were right there.

Sorry. All of this doesn't just happen.

What's with... that?

Those my headphones?

Yeah, I had to borrow them
when I was getting ready.

Mine d*ed on the plane.

I'm back. [LAUGHS]

Can you not take my stuff?

That's what I do, remember?

Yeah, but you shouldn't.
Like, you really should not.

Babe.

No, don't "babe" me. It's disrespectful.

I'm sorry. I thought that was
sort of a running joke we had.

Well, it turns out you are the only one

who thinks it's funny.

[DOOR SLAMS]

No.

NICK: Good. Better.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]

Excellent.

Worse.

Much worse.

Blech.

There's a reason you're in radio.

Makeup.

So, what exactly are your
qualifications for this?

I'll have you know
I sh*t the Golden Acres

assisted living facility holiday
photo nine years in a row.

Never had a complaint, and
those people live to complain.

They were Yelping before Yelp.

Oh, my God, my Grampy lives there.

Was it your idea to put
him in the turtleneck?

I put all the men in turtlenecks.

The cable knit brings out their eyes.

Yours are beautiful, by the way.

Thank you. [LAUGHS] You're the sweetest.

Little less with the chit-chat,

little more with the click-click.

Apparently, she's
the boss of everything.

Okay, Maggie, please, just
take a look at your posture.

What are your legs doing?

I know you're dating a hockey
player, but that doesn't mean

you have to stand like
a goalie deflecting a slap sh*t.

Yeah, he's the sweetest.

Oh, it's Cam. We're good to go.

- Thank God.
- Wait a minute.

You're the traffic guy.

- NICK: And weather.
- Yes, that's why I know you.

You have the most incredible voice.

It's the timbre. That's
what you're responding to.

And we're done.

- Oh, thank God.
- Thank God.

Hey, Maggie.

You know, you're all dressed up.

It'd be a shame to waste it.

Why don't we go for a drink?

Oh, thanks, but I'm
just gonna head home.

Oh, you can't!

What? Why not?

I mean, you can, but you shouldn't.

Come on, you're wearing so much makeup

they might even card you.

When's the last time that happened?

Uh, you know, some of
the things you've said

to me today have been super hurtful.

So let me make it up to
you by buying you a drink.

I'd love to, just... not tonight.

Um, I'll see you Monday.

Okay, take care.

Happy birthday!

We have a problem.

Hey! Bloom!

Thought that was you.

MAGGIE: Hey.

What are you doing here?

"What's he doing here?"

You know, those are the first
words you ever said to me.

About me, really.

You mean when I innocently
asked what a man was doing

at a breast cancer support
meeting and you yelled at me?

It was an ignorant thing to say.

And I didn't yell at you.

Even if I had, I think I
more than made up for it

with what we did in the bathroom.

Bathroom? [CLICKS TONGUE]

I don't remember a bathroom.

Just get in the car.

Fine, only 'cause it's cold.

Wow. [SHIVERS]

Oh, that's better.

You look nice.

I always look nice. You look nice.

Why'd you break out the iron?
You going to a funeral?

Church? You finally find the Lord?

Ha, ha.

If you must know, I have a date later.

I'm trying this new thing

where I make a good first impression.

Wow, you must really like her.

Ah, well, there you go making
gender assumptions again.

I don't know if I feel safe enough

to talk about this with you.

[CHUCKLES] You just missed my turn.

Yes, I did. It's your birthday.

I am taking you for one drink

to make up for that
time I yelled at you.

- So you admit it!
- Which I do not admit.

[SCOFFS]

How long has it been bad like this?

Couple of weeks.

Last year when I was giving Rome
crap about not going to the protest

and you told me I had no idea
what I was talking about...

is this what you meant?

Yeah.

Hey, Mendez.

For the record, I'm really
glad you yelled at me that day.

If you hadn't walked into
my life, I wouldn't be here.

After everything we've been through,

I'm pretty sure you're the only person

who truly understands what
turning means for me.

Cam wanted to take me
out to this big dinner

to celebrate, and I...

I just... I couldn't take the chance.

I know it's superstitious,

but that's... that's just where I am.

[ELEVATOR BELL RINGS]

What are you doing?

Yep, yeah, there's a huge surprise party

waiting for you upstairs.

- What?
- Yeah, everyone, uh,

you know is... is up there waiting.

So... the photo sh**t?

Just a ruse to get you all dressed up.

So people really did like my frockets.

I don't know what you're saying,
but... but probably not. No.

Look, Cam arranged everything.

He... He hired the stylist,

he bought you that... amazing outfit,

put together the whole evening.

But I told him I wanted to stay in.

Maggie.

He didn't know.

And by the time he invited
me, it was too late to stop it,

but... but... but I think you should go.

- Gary...
- Listen, I get it.

You're talking to the
most superstitious dude

on the planet.

I just kissed my valet
ticket with my mouth.

'Cause I'm pretty sure if I don't,

something will happen to my car.

[SIGHS]

When we went to Elena's
remission party last year,

you told her not to
let the fear of cancer

stop her from living.

So why are you letting it?

Okay, you don't want to go,

we'll get off on the next floor, but...

[CHUCKLES]

The rest of your life is waiting
for you up there, Bloom.

I think you should show up

maybe there's more to the story.

I mean...

I know with you and
me, I think we both knew

Uh, I mean, I-I-I heard about,
uh, what happened to Peter.

It was terrible, but I-I...

I saw you parked outside of our house

a few weeks before the att*ck.

You dri... You drive a dark SUV.

I saw you sitting in your car,

and as soon as I got home, you left.

But then, obviously, you came back.

I'll do whatever you want, okay?

Please...

[LAUGHS] Hey. Okay, I...

Not here.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Do you know, when I met
you at that audition,

I was standing with a clipboard

that had at least girls' names on it.

[VOICE BREAKING] And I have no idea

how many of those girls he hurt.

And if he hadn't been in the hospital...

[SIGHS]

I don't know that
I ever would've found out.

He got what he had coming to him.

Your secret's safe with me.

Hey.

Hey.

Sorry about earlier, man.

- It's okay.
- No, it's not okay.

Hopefully you can forgive me,
but what I did is not okay.

Truth is, I struggle sometimes...

with depression.

Yeah, I-I know.

Yeah, but there's some
stuff that you don't know.

A couple years ago...

I tried to end it.

I didn't tell you because I was afraid

you'd look at me that way.

Like I was fragile, which I am.

Which we all are.

Yes, but except you once told me

that I'm the only man

who's ever really shown up for you.

The reason I kept it from you
is because I didn't want you

to feel like you couldn't lean on me.

[SIGHS] You're right.

I think I do put you on a pedestal.

But it's... it's like those headphones.

Tyrell, I don't care
about the headphones.

No, no, just let me finish.

The headphones are a metaphor.

I keep taking them from you,
but if I'm gonna do that,

I have to give them back sometimes.

I know I can lean on you.

But you need to know
you can lean on me, too.

♪♪

Thank you for bringing
me in to help out tonight.

I don't know how I was gonna
make the rent without it.

Well, then, tonight
worked out for both of us.

Listen, I have been thinking
about what I did in Miami.

Gina, I'm over it.

Yeah, but I'm not.

Like you said, you served
your time, you paid your debt.

And someone as talented as
you should not be struggling

to make ends meet.

Thank you, but unfortunately,
that's just how it is.

Not everybody sees it
the same way you do.

Well, maybe the key
is to surround yourself

with people who do see it that way.

Mm, that sounds great.
How do we make that happen?

Well, Cam's teammates ate
even more dumplings than I did.

And one of them asked
me for a business card.

He's throwing a party
in a couple of weeks.

Maybe we print some cards
and see how far this goes.

[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]

Hello?

GRETA: Oh, hi.

I didn't think you'd pick up.

But I-I'm glad you did.

Listen, I know you were so upset

when you left this morning.

I-I would be, too.

The truth is, Julia and I are married,

but we haven't lived together
for the past three months.

She took a job in London, but
it was really just an excuse

for us to have a trial separation.

But we both think it
should be a permanent one.

I should've told you.

I-I just... I think part of
me thought this would just

be a fling with, you know,
somebody I've had a crush on

since I was in high school.

But after spending time with you,

all I want is to see you again.

I... really want to see you again, too.

Great!

How's... How's right now?

[CHUCKLING] What?

Can you come to the coat room?

♪ I've been dreaming of you ♪

I'd really like to say
I'm sorry in person.

♪ I long for a new life ♪

Sorry. Just wanted to get

a couple photos of Sophie and her band.

They're gonna Photoshop it
later to make it look like

I'm on lead guitar.

Nice.

Are you okay?

[SIGHS]

That depends. Um...

Did you know that your friend Gary

was the one that assaulted
my ex-husband?

Eddie, I told you how hard
things have been for me

since I learned what Peter
did, and this is how I find out

you... knew who att*cked him?

I'm sorry.

I was just trying to protect my friend.

Okay, and I get that, I do, but I-I-I...

I just got out of a relationship where

I found out that the man
that I was in love with

was lying to me the entire time,

and... I can't do that again.

I can't.

Anna.

Anna, wait.

Excuse me.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Please.

Anna, it's me.

Please call me back.

I am so sorry,

and I would really like
to talk to you about it.

[GRUNTS]

[HANGERS RATTLING]

CAMDEN: Dr. Bloom!

Dr. Bloom, can I see
you over here, please?

Everybody, stay close.

Come on over here.

There she is, hey.

There is a short video
that Claudia edited together

in honor of your birthday.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Whoo!

Now, Muggie, you know you
take very long showers,

and during one of
those very long showers,

I helped myself to your address book.

And while you are surrounded
by friends tonight,

not everyone could be
here, but they still wanted

to be able to say happy birthday.

- So...
- [RADIO VOICE] Let's go to the tape.

[LAUGHTER]

_

Bonjour, Maggie.

Mom, make sure she can see Charlie.

We just wanted to wish
you a very happy birthday.

Isn't that right?

She's just upset because
she's not getting any cake.

[LAUGHTER]

Hey, honey, it's Dad.

Let me just say in advance,

I'm sorry about
the headgear photos, but...

How great are
the potty training ones, huh?

That was a long time...

I should let you get
back to your friends.

If anyone asks why their coats
are wrinkled, just play dumb.

[LAUGHS]

I'll call you when I get home?

Please do.

[LAUGHTER]

Um, your mother and I
are just really proud

of everything you've accomplished

and the beautiful young
woman that you've become.

- I love you.
- [CROWD "AWWS"]

Hi, Maggie, it's Tom.

Somebody named Claudia tracked me down,

and I'm so glad she did.

Because I couldn't
imagine not celebrating you

on your birthday.

Especially this birthday.

[CHUCKLES]

I'm just so glad that
the doctors were wrong.

I'm so glad you're still here.

Sorry, I just, uh... Wow.

Uh, I mean this in every
possible way you can.

Happy birthday.

[APPLAUSE]

You are very loved. Deal with it.

[CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

Okay, everybody, attention over here.

Right this way.

Yeah!

And now, an incredible band

featuring the vocal
stylings of Sophie Dixon.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Hell-And-Or Roosevelt!
