06x11 - Saturday in the Park

[bunniefuu]

Previously on This Is Us...

Plumbers are expensive. We're not
exactly swimming in it at the moment.

Okay, well, it's going to be more
expensive if there's water damage.

Kate, I'll fix it. Promise

Sometimes I look at you Toby and
I don't even know who you are anymore.

What is so terrible about me, right now?

That I don't want to dress like a clown?

That I want to buy
a nice house for my family?

- I don't know, Toby.
- Kate, what about you?

You love the life that you are living.

This life that you are building
without me.

Moving here is the only way
that we are gonna stay a family.

It is the only option.

Did you, uh, fill Sheila's job yet?

No, but we're looking at applicants.

I'd like to be considered.

LUCY: You know, you don't
need to keep using that thing.

It's, like, the literal symbol

of the day your mom and dad's
marriage blew up.

That day almost permanently deformed

that near-perfect face of yours.

- It's bright in here. I can see some light.
- How do you...?

Just a little, and really, really

blurry shapes, but nothing clearly.

KATE: I didn't say "never."
I never said never.

I just said not right now,
not when we're like this.

TOBY: Okay, okay, okay,
let me... let me see

if I understand your grand plan here.

- KATE (SIGHS): Oh, my God, can we just...
- TOBY: No, no, no, no, no.

Just let me, let me map it out,

let me map it out so I,
so I understand.

You refuse to move to San Francisco,

but you will take a bigger
teaching job here in L.A.

- How does that fix our family?!
- Two weeks ago, you were

- okay with me exploring this.
- Two weeks ago, I was still

in shock from your rather huge,

- rather humiliating unilateral decision.
- "Decision"?

You had, you gave me an
ultimatum. You said I had to...

- (LOUD THUD)
- What was that?

TOBY: Jack?

Buddy, you okay?

- Hey, hey, hey.
- (KATE SIGHS)

KATE: Are you okay?

TOBY: Come here. What happened?

What...?

JACK: I knocked something over.

KATE: That's okay. Are you okay?

JACK: Yeah.

Well, hey, do you,
do you know what today is?

- Saturday.
- Yeah, that's right.

- And what do we do on Saturdays?
- We go to the park.

- We go to the park.
- Yeah.

- Park day!
- Yay!

KATE: ♪ Saturday ♪

♪ In the park ♪

♪ Jack's excited for the swing set ♪

Move your cane with your wrist, Jack.

Good.

Uh, should we be holding
both his hands?

He's got to practice, though.

♪ steps to the sidewalk ♪

♪ And then we make
a turn to the left ♪

TOBY: Jesus.

♪ Stop at the curb ♪

♪ Hop that dog turd ♪

♪ That always seems to be there ♪

♪ Always seems to be there ♪

♪ And listen for the cars ♪

Yeah!

Unless they're electric.
Silent K*llers.

KATE: Okay, join in or stop.

- TOBY: Okay.
- JACK: ♪ Step down ♪

♪ Step down, go towards the sound ♪

♪ Of buzzy buzz telephone wires ♪

♪ Feel the curb, step up and ♪

- Grr!
- ♪ Grr ♪

♪ 'Cause this one's
a little bit higher ♪

♪ Jackie in his rubber boots ♪

♪ For puddles, ba-ba-ba-ba ♪

- We added a line. What was it again?
- Yeah... (STAMMERS)

♪ Puddles full of wetness ♪

♪ And-and sandboxes ♪

♪ Full of tetanus ♪

♪ Seven steps to the grass ♪

♪ Now we know that Jack has arrived. ♪

TOBY: All right, buddy,
I'll take that.

Good job.

JACK: Can I walk to the swing?

- TOBY: Yeah, go, go, go.
- KATE: Yes!

TOBY: Uh-oh.

- It's a bird.
- (JACK LAUGHING)

It's a plane!

It's Pooper-man!

- JACK: Higher!
- TOBY: Up?

What do you think, Alice?

Should we zing zang
zoom this guy to the moon?

KATE: I don't know, Ralph.

- TOBY: Aah!
- (JACK LAUGHS)

This guy is a mental case.

(KATE AND JACK LAUGHING)

TOBY: I missed that.

Your laugh.

I know. Me, too.

JACK: I need more.

- He needs more.
- TOBY: Oh, you need some more?

(JACK LAUGHING)

- KATE: Whoa!
- TOBY: Up!

KATE: Oh, my goodness.

- TOBY: Yeah!
- KATE: Oh!

JACK: All right, pace it up,
Picassos. As soon as Mom is ready,

and if the sitter ever gets here,

Mom and Dad are gonna
take off for a special

grown-ups dinner.

How do you spell "anniversary"?

A-N-N... you know what?

Just look at whatever Randall
wrote. Kev, come on, man.

You got to finish this stuff...
open up.

I'm full.

You're full? Big guy like you?

No, there's got to be room
in there... come on, dig deeper.

(GROWLS)

REBECCA (SINGSONGY): Here I come!

Oh, wowza.

It's not too much?

Oh, it is definitely,
definitely too much.

- But happy tenth, babe.
- Happy tenth.

Mm.

- Hey, babe?
- Yeah?

Are you warming up milk?

Since when do you warm up milk?

- Um...
- What did you

- feed the kids for dinner?
- So much turkey.

- JACK: Yeah.
- And mash potatoes.

Oh, you're trying
to knock out our kids.

The sooner we can get the kids down,

the sooner I can get
my foxy wife home and...

And what?

And... get a good night's rest.

- Yes.
- Because it's been a long time...

- Since we've had any kind of real... sleep.
- Good...

- (DOORBELL RINGS)
- Sitter.

Thank God!

KATE: Hey, Mom?

- Hmm?
- I got it. It's your anniversary.

Today is your day.

I'm just trying to help.

Maybe you could help by,
uh, removing that creepy doll?

It's staring at me.

"Creepy"? This-this doll is

- a Puerto Rican wedding tradition.
- Mm-hmm.

It's the doll
that was on our lovers' table

exactly ten years ago today.

I think recreating some
of our wedding moments

was a very sweet idea, honey.

Oh, thank you.

(JACK BABBLING)

I don't know, do you think
Miguel looks at that doll

when Mom leaves town to sort of, uh,

grease the wheels?

- You're disgusting. Get away.
- I'm disgust...?

Miguel just said "lovers' table."

How am I disgusting?
Where's Toby, by the way?

Oh, uh, well, he's out back pretending

that he doesn't know how to light

the Big Green Egg
in an effort to avoid me.

But he's got the "egg-niter."

You know how I know
about the egg-niter?

Because he talked about the egg-niter

last egg-night, all egg-night.

(LAUGHS)

Yeah.

(JACK BABBLING)

Did you and Toby get into
another fight last night?

Why? What did you hear?

I mean, I didn't hear anything
specific; it's just...

I tried, you know,
but your walls are really thick.

Well, Toby left one
of Jack's safety gates open,

and I told him that he has
to listen for the click.

Got to listen for the click.
If you don't hear the click...

If you don't hear the click,
then it's not locked, right.

So then he said
I was helicopter-parenting

his parenting...

I don't know, maybe I am,
but, like, he's never here.

And so, you know, that broken record

skipped to our daily fight
about San Francisco.

- KEVIN: Hmm.
- KATE: Hmm.

Well...

- now, Bug... if you need...
- Mm-mm.

If you need a little break, you're

more than welcome
to come join me and Miguel

at our... lovers' casa.

- Give me a hug. Bring it in for a hug.
- (LAUGHING): Please!

- Put her away.
- (KEVIN LAUGHING)

- So weird!
- It is weird.

What's so, uh...

what's so funny in here, huh, kids?

Oh, nothing. I'm just trying
to cheer up Kate.

(LAUGHS)

TOBY: Why did...? (LAUGHS)

Why did Kate need cheering up?

I don't. He's just an idiot.

- You're an idiot.
- Yeah, I'm an idiot.

I'm an idiot
with his bags packed, though.

Did you see that,
I got my bags packed?

Escrow closes tomorrow
on my new house.

And I will be
out of your hair for good.

- HAILEY (CRYING): Mommy!
- Oh, I'll get Hailey.

- Kev, can you actually get...?
- I'm on it. I hear.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- KATE: Thanks.

Come on, hon, let's go see if
we can whip up some rum punch.

- I'm just trying to help.
- I know.

(JACK BABBLING)

Hey, thank you so much
for doing this party.

Yeah, of course, um...

Uh, seriously, though,
what-what were you two

laughing about when I came in?

I don't... (LAUGHS) That doll.

Did you tell him about our fight?

He could hear us.

Okay.

Wait, Toby, come on, I-I thought that

we were just gonna try
to have, like, one nice day.

I'm just going to smoke Miguel's meat.

That came out weird, but yeah.

- JACK: Hey, Mama.
- (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

Walk to the park.

You know what, Jackie, we can't.

But it's Saturday.

- I know, I know.
- (DOORBELL RINGS)

Open the door with you, Mama?

Okay.

- Okay, let's go.
- All right.

KATE: Okay, unlock it.

Your hand. There we go. Go for it.

- JACK: Opened that door.
- KATE: Good job.

- RANDALL: Oh, there's my nephew!
- BETH: Hey!

- Hi.
- KATE: Hi. Hi.

I still can't believe you came
all this way for a barbecue.

- Me, neither.
- RANDALL: For Mom and Miguel's

tenth anniversary party, come on!

- We wouldn't miss it.
- BETH: Our hormonal girls,

on the other hand, opted
to stay at home with my mom

and get their knuckles slapped.

Well, I'm really glad
that you're here.

RANDALL: Aw, glad to be here.

Okay, we're hugging again.

That's cool. It's cool.

We're doing a long one. Yeah.

Oh, with a little bit of rocking.

- Yeah.
- Jack?

Hey, let's go to the kitchen, bud.

- Let's, uh, let this happen.
- RANDALL: Okay.

Hey, what's going on?

I can't handle it, Randall.

I can't.

Every day, I wake up
and I think, "Okay,

today's the day that
Toby and I aren't gonna fight."

And then there's
trip wires everywhere.

(EXHALES) God, and Kevin,
he's driving him crazy.

Honestly, I think that Toby
might k*ll him,

and I don't want him to k*ll him.

- Tell me what to do.
- Take Kevin out of here.

Go pick up the twins early
from Madison's or something.

Just take a long time, please.

I got you. Hey.

You guys are gonna make it
through this.

You hear me?

You want me to get Beth
out of here, too?

What? No.

She's, like, the least stressful
person in this whole family. No.

- Try not to create a lot of stress.
- BETH: Kate?

- Yeah?
- Little issue in here.

Oopsie.

KATE: Great.

This feels about right.

(SIGHS)

Oh, my God, this place, Jack.

When the girl hung up my coat
back there, I almost cried.

I mean, I can't tell you

the last time someone actually
hung up my coat for me.

- Wow, cheap date.
- I mean, this is

my first night out
in almost six years.

You are the greatest husband.
This is the greatest restaurant.

- It's gonna be the greatest night of my life.
- Okay.

- No pressure.
- No pressure.

- (REBECCA CHUCKLES)
- Well, hello.

- BOTH: Hi.
- Can I start you guys with a drink?

Uh, yes, please.

Um, do you happen to serve
drinks with adorable names?

I thought I heard you serve
drinks with adorable names.

Yes. Well, our signature
drinks are: Between the Sheets,

Blue Lagoon, Dirty Banana,

Fluffy Duck, Fuzzy Navel,

- Jungle Bird...
- Yes.

Yes?

Yes to all of them, one by one.

- Thank you.
- I'll have a beer.

- You got it.
- Thank you.

(SIGHS) Hi.

I am carefree, childless

- Rebecca Malone... do you remember me?
- Yeah, faintly.

I...

am gonna rock
your world tonight, babe.

I'm gonna get the check now.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Mommy and Daddy usually
put us to sleep at : ,

but now it's :
because we were too excited

because tonight is a special night

because we all get to sleep together.

All right, Chatty Cathy.

Time to find your off switch.

I mean, geez.

He-Man, G.I. Joe,
you ready for lights-out?

No! I'm not tired!
I'm not going to sleep!

Come on, Kevin, it's bedtime.

No. I don't like you.

JOANIE: Well, I don't care. Bedtime.

I said no.

I didn't know things had gotten so bad

- between Kate and Toby.
- Yeah, man.

It's not very good.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

What are we doing?

Oh, yeah, no, I don't use
my house key here anymore.

Out of respect.

For the mother of my children.

- Got ya.
- Yeah.

Well, Kate stuff aside,

you seem to be doing pretty well, Kev.

Thanks, yeah.

Putting down some roots,
you know, solid base.

- I'm at peace with my life, you know?
- Yeah.

Plus my new place
has those fancy toilets.

You know, the ones that spray,
so you barely have to wipe?

- Got one of 'em.
- I know you do.

- Hey!
- Hi.

- How are you?
- Come in.

- Thank you.
- RANDALL: Madison!

MADISON: Randall!

(TWINS LAUGHING)

Oh, my goodness, look at these

beautiful babies.

Beautiful, right?
Hey, you taking them out?

Yeah, we are off to music class.

You are two hours early, dude.

KEVIN: I... Yeah, I know, I know.

Kate kicked me out. She thought
Toby was gonna m*rder me.

How'd you know
she was worried about that?

We're twins. It's that ESP thing.

Plus I-I heard her tell you.

- That sounds right, yeah.
- Yep.

Well, I can drop them off
at the party later.

Yeah? That sounds good. Okay.

Hey, I saw Elijah's car.

You want to meet Elijah?
It's Madison's new beau.

Our dynamic is super weird,
and it's wildly uncomfortable.

- It's true.
- Can't wait.

MADISON: Well, I'm
sorry I have to miss that.

RANDALL: Well, let me help you

- with this monster stroller.
- Thank you.

- And Elijah's where?
- Uh, in my bedroom.

Okay, all right. Be good to your mom.

- Say, "Bye-bye, Daddy."
- Okay, bye!

RANDALL: My goodness,
these kids are growing!

MADISON: I know.

Hey, man, what are you doing?

Hi there.

- Yeah, so I know what this looks like.
- Well... (STAMMERS)

...it looks like you're
stealing Madison's jewelry.

Yeah, yeah, I know, but it's
not that at all, I swear.

- So how are you?
- Me?

I'm good, I'm good. What-what...?

What's under your shirt?

Uh...

Okay, look, it's...

Wow, I look like a real pervy
thief, don't I? But I'm not.

It's a, um...

ring sizer.

Oh.

Oh, oh, yeah, you're, you're,
you're gonna, uh...

Yeah, yeah.

- KATE: This isn't happening right now.
- TOBY: Okay.

Can you just move that towel
so I can get up there?

- Here's some towels.
- No, not the good towels.

Well, yeah,
I can wash them afterwards.

- Hey, Kate, I'm gonna turn off this stove, okay?
- Okay. Thank you.

Hey, uh, Toby, I don't think
it's a good idea

to open that up right now.

KATE: Stay right here.

Yeah, we need to turn the
water off to the house first.

- Yeah.
- Wait, so we're not gonna have water?

Toby, I begged you to call
the plumber about this.

We couldn't afford it then, okay?

Okay, so now we have
a more expensive problem.

TOBY: It's good thing I
have such a high-paying

job that you resent so much.
You know what, Miguel?

Can you please help my wife
with this since she thinks

I can't take care of it? I'm
gonna go check on the grill.

Yeah, sure.

REBECCA: Hey, sweetheart,
it's just, it's a leak, it's okay.

Toby, can you please
take Jack with you?

It's a little slippery in here.

And make sure that you close
the gate to the...

I know, until it clicks! I got it.

Can I put shoes on him first, please?

At least let me do that.

(JACK CRYING)

Come on, sweetheart.

Let's go put your shoes on. Come on.

(DOOR SLAMS, RATTLES)

Here.

Miguel made 'em.

I don't know what's in this,

- but it's getting the job done.
- Okay.

(SLURPS)

So, this is the famous

Big Green Egg, huh?

Did it come
with a big green ham? (CHUCKLES)

You know, like...
Because Green Eggs and... No?

You're not in the mood? I feel you.

I liked... I liked it. Sorry.

Sor... And sorry for the scene
in there.

You know,
every time I walk into a room

with Kate in it, I tell myself,
"Toby, be light.

Be playful." And then I just...

- I lose myself.
- Oh, please.

I blame Kevin, okay?

He came to live with us for a year,

and I nearly k*lled Randall.

Kev can drive a person crazy.

Hey, Toblerone.

I know it's none of my business,
but, you know,

uh, Randall and I did the
long-distance thing for a while,

when he was campaigning in Philly,

and...

it's a bitch.
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie to you.

But, uh, we made it through.

Yeah, I think the difference
is... (SIGHS)

you moved for him, Beth.

Well, I moved for myself.

And for work.

- And for...
- For your marriage.

♪

REBECCA: Hey, Jack. Your
shoes are lined up so neatly.

- Oh, yeah.
- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

- They are.
- Did your mommy do it?

Yes. These ones,

high-tops. Low-tops.

Rubber boots.

Dressy shoes.

I hate dressy shoes.

Yeah. I hate dressy shoes, too.

They're very uncomfy.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

So which ones should we wear
to the barbecue, you think?

Should we wear the rubber boots?

Oh, but they're for muddy puddles.

- Okay?
- Oh,

rubber boots are for muddy puddles.

- Okay.
- Yeah. For the park.

Grandma, are you sad?

(CLICKS TONGUE) Honey.

You know what? I... (SIGHS)

I just... I want to feel useful.

And Grandma does not feel
very useful today.

Oh, yeah.

Is Jackie sad?

Jackie's sad.

Mommy and Daddy are mad a lot.

Mommy and Daddy are mad a lot?

Yeah.

Well, mommies and daddies
fight sometimes.

But it's gonna be okay.

Okay.

These ones.

- Low-tops.
- Low-tops.

You got it.

Let's put these on then. Come on.

(SLURPING)

- (SLURPING) Mmm!
- There you are. (CHUCKLES)

- Must be a good one. (CHUCKLES)
- REBECCA: Hmm.

- (WAITER CHUCKLES)
- (SLURPING CONTINUES)

Mmm.

Good to the last drop.

(WAITER CHUCKLES)

- Thank you! (CHUCKLES)
- No problem.

- Wow. Beautiful.
- Hey.

Bec, may-maybe you should
slow down a little bit?

I think maybe you should
slow down a little.

(CHUCKLES) I think maybe
that doesn't, uh, make any sense

- because I'm still on my first drink.
- Mmm.

Mmm.

To ten amazing years.

Yes.

- Mmm.
- Ten amazing years.

Where do you think we're gonna
be ten years from now, babe?

Probably still at this table,
waiting for our food.

(LAUGHING LOUDLY)

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHING)

(SIGHS) Mmm.

I know what I should do.

Huh?

I should cut my hair short,

like Princess Diana.

(LAUGHS)

Uh, yeah, I'm gonna go get you
some bread.

I don't want bread.

- Mr. Pearson?
- Yeah.

- Your babysitter.
- Oh.

Joanie?

It's crazy. It's just...
The whole thing is crazy.

- You know? They've been dating six months.
- (RANDALL SIGHS)

RANDALL:
I think a good thing to focus on

is that, minutes ago,

you were feeling at peace
with your life.

Yeah, well, my life
just changed pretty radically.

Did it?

Just picture yourself at
your wedding, all right?

When she asked you
if you were in love with her,

- would your answer be any different now?
- (TAPPING)

(SIGHS)

- I don't know.
- (EXHALES)

I don't kn... I know I'm not the
same person I was back then.

I'm a father now. That changes you.

- You know that.
- Sure.

And-and, you know... (SIGHS)

You saw us together.
We're-we're relaxed,

we're good, we're...
We laugh together.

We-we genuinely enjoy
each other's company.

- You're very cute.
- You know? And the idea

of her marrying somebody else

just makes me feel...

...not good.

So, you know,

- maybe that means...
- Maybe we should just keep driving

until that thought leaves your mind.

'Kay. Maybe I should
just text her right now,

- just real quick...
- Stop.

Kevin, you're a -year-old man

who makes rash romantic decisions

that reverberate for decades.

Okay? Now, we're gonna go
on a nice scenic drive,

maybe stop for some boba tea
and not send

a self-destructive text message
to your baby mama.

I'm starting to realize
why your kids didn't want to go

on this trip with you, Randall.

I love you, too.

(SIZZLING)

(JACK PANTING)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy.
Don't get too close.

(GRUNTS) Huh? It's very hot.

You want to do some cooking with me?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Oh. You smell that?

- Oh, yeah!
- Take a...

- I...
- Yeah. Take a whiff.

What does that smell like?
(INHALES DEEPLY)

It smells like apples and pants.

It does smell like apples and pants.

That's very good.

No, you're actually on West Ladera.

You're supposed to be on East Ladera.

Yes. Just please... Please just hurry.

Yes, pl... Thank you. Plumber's lost.

Hey, Kate,
we can just cancel this party.

It's only some of my bridge
friends and his golf buddies,

- who I don't even like very much.
- What?

KATE: Absolutely not,
Mom. I want to do this for you.

(LOUD CREAKING)

Hey, hey, hey. Who's in here
banging pots and pans

while I'm trying
to put Hailey down? Ooh.

There's some bad spirits up in here.

(CRACKLING THUD, LIQUID SPLASHING)

BETH: Dear Lord.

- Oh, sh**t.
- KATE: Oh, wow. Well,

Toby's always wanted
a frickin' waterbed.

- Well, I'm gonna go get him.
- Okay.

You've got to get this
mattress off of here quick.

Yeah, I guess.

BETH: Hey, Toby.

We need you inside.

(SIGHS) All right,
come on, buddy. Let's go.

- TOBY: Hey, where are you guys?
- (BABBLING)

Where are you guys? (GIGGLES)

TOBY: Oh, my...

What is this? I thought you said
you turned the water off.

I did, Toby, but obviously
enough water was already pumped

into the pipes that it
just blew the ceiling in.

KATE: Can you just help us instead of,

like, you know, running
your colorful commentary, Toby?

Yeah, let me just,
let me put Jack down.

I got to find Beth. Hey, Beth?

- JACK: Beth?
- Beth... (SIGHS)

Okay.

(JACK BABBLING)

- Beth?
- (SHUSHES) I got Hailey.

Yeah, sorry. Okay.

All right, buddy, you, um, you
got to go to your room, okay?

- Here you go.
- KATE: Toby, where the hell are you?

- TOBY: Stay put, okay?
- My -year-old mother

- is picking up this mattress!
- Stay right here.

- I'm coming! Relax.
- KATE: It's heavy. Be careful.

TOBY: Okay, all right, just
slide it, slide it towards the...

- Toward-towards the window.
- KATE: Get it straight.

- REBECCA: It's, uh...
- TOBY: All right, we have to

- move the bedframe.
- KATE: Yeah, I-I got that.

TOBY: Here, just
get it out from under...

- (DOORBELL RINGING)
- KATE: Move it forward

so you can open the door.

TOBY: Would you get the door?

KATE: Coming!

TOBY: Slide it towards the...

Oh, thank God. I could hug you.

You want to show me where the leak is?

Oh, yeah, come in.

All right, so,
it started in the kitchen.

- PLUMBER: Uh-huh.
- Um...

...right here.

- Buddy?

- Toby.
- Jack?

- Huh? Answer me, Jack.

I-I thought that I closed
the gate all the way.

Randall and I talk. We have a thing.

I did it, okay? Joanie's not nice.

She calls Kate "Chatty Cathy."

KATE: Yeah.

Every time I talk.

It hurts her feelings.

The chair under the doorknob
was my idea.

Well, guys, you can't...

you can't lock someone in a bathroom

He was there one minute,

It-it wasn't. It was,
it was many, many minutes

between Jack leaving his room
and you even bothering

to notice that he was gone.

Gone out the door
you left unlocked, by the way.

The door you taught him how to open.

Who does that with a,
with a sighted toddler,

let alone a blind child?

And then this park song
that you do with him?

- Okay... Dignity...
- Oh...

...independence, confidence,
self-respect.

That's what we need to be
instilling in him now, Toby.

in his cells, so he knows
that he's not broken.

were his limitations.

that we brought him home,

all you did was Google
eye surgeries that didn't work

not moving to San Francisco?

Fine, but you know what?

The truth is, you pulled away
from us way back then.

You are losing your mind right now.

Oh, are you gonna go... Oh, oh,
you're pulling away, Toby! Bye!

- You all right, Kate?
- All I see are his limitations?

You don't see any.

All right? And that's
just irresponsible.

You know what burns me up?

The fact that you think
because you sing with a bunch
