01x02 - Bradley Field

Post by bunniefuu »

Every seconds,

a marriage will end in divorce.

A married person typically
spends about two years


thinking about divorce
before going ahead with it


and will usually wait
approximately three years


to remarry, if they do so at all.

In spite of these bleak statistics,

the overwhelming majority
of couples continue on,


taking hopeful step after
hopeful step down the aisle,


willing to gamble for love.

I think you do dishes.

I just think when I pull
them out of the cupboard,

there's sh*t on 'em.

Welcome back, Mr. and Mrs. Field.

[CRINKLING]

I don't understand the point of the gum

if you're still smoking.

This is the kind of sh*t
I deal with at home.

- [SCOFFS]
- And you see that?

She just, like, rolled her eyes.

Don't talk about me like
I'm not in the room, Bradley.

Is this better, Kate?

At least you're looking at me instead
of your phone for f*cking once.

[SIGHING] Oh, please.

You love your phone.

You take it with you every time
you have to go take a sh*t.

Do you really have to
say that in front of him?

He shits just as much as we do.

- Oh, my God.
- Everybody shits, Kate.

Lately, Darby had been feeling stuck,

longing to escape the discomforts

and uncertainties of her
postgraduate existence.


To make matters worse,
she was constantly faced


with a phenomenon she deemed
"the impossible woman."


The impossible woman
was impeccably dressed,


her skin remarkably un-sweaty,

her handbag light,

as if all she required

to glide glamorously through life

was a metro card and a tube of lipstick.

- Sorry.
- Darby, by comparison,

felt lost and claustrophobic
in all areas of her life.


- Yo.
- Hey, stranger.

You look different.

I'm digging the scruff. It's great.

You're sweating, like, a lot.

Yeah, I've been on
a subway car with no AC,

and then I had to carry your sh*t
for six more blocks.

Why didn't you just take a cab?

I'm not made of money, Mr. Monopoly man.

God.

[SIGHS] Sorry it took me,

like, six months to drop this off.

Honestly, I was using
your charger. I needed it.

Well, thanks for
cleaning out the office.

- Yeah.
- What's in here, anyway?

The aforementioned charger
and, like, an umbrella... yep...

And your "out to lunch" rock.

Great. I needed this.

Oh, and one of Kate's,
uh, scarves, I think.

Oh, yeah. Well...

have to get that back to her via post.

You know, with the divorce
and everything.

Wait. What?

- Oh, yeah.
- When did that happen?

A few months ago.

We were together years
and married for one.

Embarrassingly short marriage.

Oh, my God. That sucks.

- I'm so sorry.
- No, it's fine.

You know, wasn't meant to be.

You know?

How 'bout you?

Have you, uh, you know, found "the one"?

No. Uh, found some losers on Match.com.

- Hmm.
- It's close.

What about that guy you
brought to the wedding?

- Augie?
- Yeah.

Oh. No. Augie moved to D.C.

Well, that sucks,

'cause you guys were
really cute together.

You and Kate seemed
really cute together.

Are you in a hurry?

I mean, you want a drink or something?

Yeah, sure.

Water? Uh, soda? Tequila?

Um, it's kind of early for tequila.

Wine, it is.

[LAUGHS]

Wow. [INHALES SHARPLY]

This is a real sh*thole.

Yeah, I'm... I'm squattin'.

Hey, you actually like art.

Here I thought you were
just cravenly profiting

off of the idiocy of millennial culture.

Actually, I've been, uh,
collecting since college.

Since college? For real?

Ugh, f*ck. I'm behind.

You still taking photos?

Yeah. Yeah.

This is... oh, thank you.

- Mm-hmm.
- This is gorgeous.

This... all this stuff. Oh, my God.

This couch is so soft.

Is it weird that I'm
just petting your couch?

- No, not at all.
- It's so nice.

You know, all you gotta do
is schmooze some rich people

for some investment capital,
and all this could be yours.

[LAUGHS]

So did you land somewhere?

I mean, I felt bad when we folded.

Yeah, I... like, I picked up
some catering jobs,

and um, I run this,
like, iPad photo booth

at these horrible parties.
It's... whatever.

- What about you?
- Well, I kind of feel bad

about telling you this now.

When the museum shut us down,

well, I got creative,
and I got this investor

to turn my museum-touring
concept into an app.

My God, of course you did.

Um, who did this one?

Oh, that one.

That one, I bought off this guy

that used to sit outside
the East Broadway F stop.

I kind of love it.

Kate hated it.

She called it
"the thing that burns my retinas."

Well, yeah, I mean,
but that's what makes it great.

It's intense.

- Exactly.
- Yeah.

You hungry?

Want me to order a pie?

And at this point, I feel like
I'm starting to sweat,

because I've been sitting
in my suit for an hour,

so I head out to come down the stairs,

and at this point, I feel
pretty good about myself.

No. What?

And I walk out, and she's at
the bottom of the staircase

with my parents and my friends.

You know, they're all getting
ready to go to the venue,

and she just looks at me and she says,

"I'm not marrying
whatever's on your face."

What?

So I went back upstairs, and I shaved.

No. That's tragic.

I like the beard.

I don't know.

My family really loved her,
you know, but...

I've just been avoiding
them ever since the divorce.

Besides, I'm sure
I wasn't perfect either.

Yeah, maybe.

Or maybe she's just, like, lame.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

I want you to know something.

Like, I'm not some creeper.

I mean, I didn't have you

Me neither.

I always thought you were cute, though.

- Hey.

And that's not all.

Light and sweet...

- Oh.
- Not unlike myself.

So I don't have
anything till : today.

You?

I have work.

Mm.

Come back after?

You're definitely divorced?

Like, you're sure?

I'm not gonna come back and...

Kate's gonna be, like,
waiting for me with a butcher Kn*fe?

She'd use a g*n.

And he could be with whoever he wanted.

I mean, why me?

Are you really fishing
for compliments right now?

Okay, but Mallory,

his ex is, like,
the hottest woman I've ever seen.

Great.

She's his ex. He's with you now.

I mean, I wish my boss
was fuckable. Come on.

We need more tiny tacos, Mr. Wojcik.

[LIGHT MUSIC]

After her shift,
Darby went to Century


and bought a new outfit
she couldn't afford,


then went directly back to Bradley's.

And again the next night,

and the night after that.

- Hey! Hi.
- Oh, thank you.

- Of course.
- Oh.

Okay, uh, A.

- You're the best, Lenny.
- Need a hand?

These two people who once
spent every day together


in a brightly-lit office

were now spending every night

entangled and panting in the darkness,

and their previous relationship
as employer and employee


furthermore infused their sex

with something practically transcendent.

[BOTH MOANING, GRUNTING]

Oh, f*cking on the job,
you dirty little slut!

Oh, f*ck. Yeah.

I'm a dirty, lazy slut.

I haven't finished any of my work.

[LAUGHS, MOANS]

[LIGHT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

I feel bad.

If I don't like it,
it was really expensive.

Oh, please don't.

- I don't know.
- Thank you.

Ugh, it looks like those
pictures of smoker's lung

they used to show us in health class.

Come on, Darby, just try it.

Uh...

Mm? Salty?

- Mmm. Tastes overpriced.
- Good.

Hey, B.

- Oh, my God. Lola.
- How you doing?

Mm. How are you?

- Well...
- Well, you look... amazing.

- Congratulations.
- Don't blow smoke up my ass.

I know what I look like.

I can't believe
I'm still out with clients.

You try talking to these f*ckers sober.

- It's hell.
- Um, do you want to sit down?

I can just scooch over.

Oh, um, Darby, Lola.

Lola, this is, uh, Darby, my girlfriend.

Oh, good for you.

Kate didn't deserve him.

- I agree.
- [CHUCKLES]

Sure. What the hell?

In my third trimester.

Yeah, okay.

Oh.

- Hi.
- Yes, ma'am?

Uh, can I get a half glass?

- Something, uh, big and red.
- Coming right up.

Great, thanks. Actually, you know what?

- Just make it a full glass.
- Certainly.

So um, Lola and I
went to school together.

No, actually, I went to school.

- No student loan debt.

Um, I'm gonna hit the head.

You guys... chat it out.

[BOTH LAUGH]

So um, how do you know Bradley?

Um, we used to work together.

Oh, are you a curator?

No. I wish.

I just... I was just a tour guide

for the museum thing he used to do.

Oh, wow. Yeah. We invested in that.

Oh. Yeah.

Should've stuck with real estate.

Mm, that's funny.

Uh, so what do you do now?

- Ma'am.
- Oh, bless.

Um, I'm a photographer.

Mm. Me too.

- No way.
- Yeah.

Oh, my God.

What are you working on right now?

Well, trying to get out
of editorial, mostly,

but you know how a favor can
turn into a six-month project.

- Oh, my God. Totally.
- Yeah.

What about you? What's your thing?

Um, you know, just sort of,
like, lifestyle stuff.

Moment-capturing, that kind of thing.

Very cool.

Are you, uh, commissioning
or working with a gallery?

Not... not right now, but I'm looking.

Well, it is the Wild West these days.

Every millennial with an iPad

thinks they're a f*cking artist,
you know?

- Mm.
- Excuse me.

Hey. Seriously, though, um,
have Bradley connect us,

'cause I'd love to see your stuff.

I could maybe hand off
some gigs, you know.

- Oh, absolutely.
- Okay. I gotta run.

This little fucker's giving
me some serious heartburn.

Oh, thank you.

Always a pleasure to see you.

Nice seeing you.

Hey, do you still smoke?

Uh, I do.

Um, you sure?

Oh, yeah, it's fine.
Just a couple puffs.

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

Whoa.

You're not, like, moving in
with him already, are you?

What? No. No.

I'm... I'm doing, like,
a darkroom thing in here.

I'm taking this photography class,

'cause Bradley's photographer
friend stressed me out.

She was like, "Oh, I just...
Let me see your stuff."

And I was like, "Bitch,
I don't have stuff."

Kay, someone clearly found my Adderall.

No, no. I'm just having, like,
a small-but-real life panic.

Why? Because of Bradley's friend?

Yes. They're so successful.

And they're like...
They have perfect skin,

and they know about wine pairings.

Dude, you can't compare
yourself to them.

I just feel like such a loser.

Do you seriously think

they had it all figured out at our age?

No.

They were probably, like, doing ludes.

They're not that old.

My mom always said ludes
were her favorite drug.

You know, I just want Bradley to know

that he's with, like, a woman
who knows what she wants,

and she's not afraid to go after it.

Sure. Totally.

But like, you know, you don't have
to perform for someone.

You should be loved

for the little
derp-de-derp that you are.

But maybe it's good.

Like, this is just, like,
the kick in the ass that I need.

Cool. So my real question is,

is this a single penne stuck to a sock?

No.

That's private.

Derp.

And I tell you this because it's truth,

and truth is ugly.

But truth is also beautiful.

The only people who
will make it as a artist

are people who have passion.

Not passion like, "Oh,
I love hamburger."

I'm talking about real passion.

Who among you would die for your art?

Okay, this strategy has paid off.

Boom. Sara, go.

Mm, can you just do my move for me?

No, I can't do your move.

I just invaded your territory.

Jim, I literally don't give
a single f*ck.

Yeah, I really don't give a f*ck either.

Wait, guys, am I the only
person invested in this game?

ALL: Yes.

Hey. [GRUNTS]

Oh, uh, excuse me, ma'am,

this is a private residence.

- Oh, my God.
- Well, well, well.

I thought you were gone for good.

We were gonna do an Amber alert.

Yeah, you owe us $ , in utilities.

I'm sorry. I will set up a payment plan.

And you missed my birthday.

I'm sorry, Mal.

Yo, what is in this box?

Um, yeah.

Bradley realized he was not
ready to be in a relationship.

Also, um, I... [EXHALES SHARPLY]

I got really drunk at his dad's wake.

I threw up, um, like,
lasagna and bourbon,

and um, I think I made a toast.

- Okay.
- It was really bad.

No. That is okay.

I mean, I puked at
Jim's cousin's bat mitzvah,

- in the men's room...
- Okay.

Next to the rabbi.

This all happened
in front of his ex-wife.

Oh, okay. You win.

So no more free laundry.

- I had to give the key back.
- Hey. Whatever.

I mean, we have
the machines around the corner.

Someone's been pissing in them lately,

but you just have to check for puddles.

Yeah, okay. I don't know.

We almost made it a year, you know?

- Yeah. months.
- Yeah.

That's really good.
You get to round up.

- Good.
- Okay, okay.

Come on, come on. Everybody in.

- Okay.
- Everybody in.

- We're sorry, Darby.
- We love you.

Oh, thanks, guys.

I don't know her.

Another summer arrived,

and the sting of her breakup
with Bradley subsided.


With that, Darby was finally able

to pull revelation from the wreckage.

Hey, Eugenia?

Hi. Um, it's Darby.

I used to be in the
photo class with you.

- Uh-huh.
- Um, listen.

I was wondering if
you would ever sell me

that "inner life" photo that you took.

I just think it's amazing,

um, and I could give you,
um, bucks for it.

.

Oh. Um... okay.

I didn't know we were negotiating.

We are.

That's great. Uh, I will be honest.

I don't... you know what?

I could go to an ATM.

It was just a photo,

and yet, it was the beginning
of a much bigger life.


Mm.

That's awesome.

Did you take that?

No.
