03x02 - Jack Botty's Delayed Post-Pandemic Surprise Party

Post by bunniefuu »

So, uh,

the house appears empty, right?

Jack thinks you're out of town.


- Suspecting nothing, he enters.


- Mm
-hmm.

Right? And then

Boom.

People, right? Surprise, right?

And then we pull


- Happy birthday
-
-


- Forty
-fifth.


- Forty
-fifth, Jack, yes?


- Jack, uh
-huh.

And then we press play

Boogie fever ♪


- This one, right?


- Okay.

And that is our cue

to circulate

with our custom, made
-to
-order

birthday cake bites.

We have a new chef,

cutting
-edge.

You're gonna love it.

Uh, speaking of circulating,

does this need to be here?

Y
-yes. It's the gift.


- Oh.


- It's a karaoke machine.

Karaoke. In your house?


- Hmm.


- That's allowed?

I love karaoke.

Oh, I'm not a fan,

which is ironic,

'cause now Jack will want

to do karaoke parties

all the time.

Ah

I'll have to give him my card.

Okay.

Guests should arrive soon.

Oh, if you have any questions,

I'm just putting these

in my office.

And if staff could stick

to party areas.


- Thank you.


- Uh, clients' private,

non
-party spaces

are strictly off
-limits, okay?

Party Down policy number one.

Top of the list. Henry.


- Yep.


- Off
-limits.

Right.

Jesus.

Oh, Henry.

Congrats

on finalizing the divorce.

Bet you're gonna party tonight.

Yeah, six
-packs and YouTubes.

Fall asleep in a chair.

Well, you must be happy

that they changed

the blatantly misandristic

alimony laws.

Mm, actually, I still pay.

She makes less than I do, so

Less than a teacher?

What does she do?

Is she a shoeshine

at the bus station?

Wait a minute.

You have to pay alimony?

With what?

You're, like, a teacher, right?

Yes, that is why

I am moonlighting.

Oh, moonlighting.

Yes, man,

I haven't done that

since they canceled

Burning Man.

So if you dropped your tab

at moonrise,

you're due for a Molly,

like, now.

How's your headspace?

Moonlighting

as in working a side job

for extra money.

That's a term?

But it's day.

Oh, actually,

you go with the grain.


- The what?


- The limes?


- I got this. Watch.


- Oh.

See, this is why

I am back catering.

I got a callback for a CW show.

Character works in a club,

so I thought I'd keep a foot

in food service

for my sense memory.

See, I go in immersed

in my character's lived truth,

dude, I am gonna stand out.

As one of the few actors in LA

who's ever worked

in food service.


- You get it.


- Okay. All right, all right.

Doing limes.

And we are T
-minus 15 minutes.

Dude, have you seen this house?

There is a bathroom upstairs

that is

the most amazing bathroom

I have ever seen in my life.

There is a drinking fountain

in the toilet.


- The mirrors are everywhere
-
-


- Okay.

Everybody, my God, okay?

Clients' private,

non
-party spaces are

what?

Give it to me.

Sackson,

I know you know this policy.

I know you know this policy

'cause I told you about

this policy a million times.

What is number one?


- Pee?


- No.

Stay out.

Stay out is the policy.

Stay out is the policy.

Anyway, uh, as you may know,

Chef Hans has been fired.


- Chef Hans?


- Yeah.

That guy was cool.

Well, he was stealing booze.

Wait, you can get fired

for that?

It's actually pretty standard.

He was stealing a lot of booze.

And also, he said he was cool

and cutting
-edge,

and he wasn't, you know,

and I want this party

to be cutting
-edge.

Ah, right on cue!

Ladies and gentlemen,

everybody,

this is our new chef,

Lucy Dang,

with our made
-to
-order

custom cake bites, huh?

Wow, look at those.

Those are cool.

Hell yeah.

It's cake time with Sacks.

Mmm

What's in these?

Basic sheet cake

done in an on
-sale,

store
-bought style

with a center

of ripened Camembert.


- W
-w
-wait, what?


- Mm.

You get an innocent,

childlike sweetness up front,

followed by an earthy whiff

of decay.

Why?

It's a rumination on mortality.

Rumination on mortality?

It
-it's cake.

Birthday cake.

What?

You said in the interview,

"I want 'the new foods,

cutting
-edge d'oeuvres.'"

Yes, yes, like
-
-

y
-you know, like new shapes.

Look, this is

an important event for me

business
-wise, and I'd rather

the guests not be thinking

of death.

Not just death.

It's more, "Life is finite.

How have I used this time?"

I am feeling like I wish

I had said, "I love you,"

to my nana more.


- Yes!


- No. Throw them out.

Throw them out now,

and then make new ones, okay?

You have time. I will stall.

Okay, so not cutting
-edge?

You just want basic
-ass,

boring sh*t for normies?

No, cutting
-edge

but in the form of shapes

and stuff.

Okay?

I see how it is.

Lucy.

So, uh, moving on, uh,

as I said, clients' private,

non
-party spaces
-
-

Oh, fu
-
-

so it's time once again

to hear from our investor,

Constance,

who, as you know, insists

on us doing this

bullshit.

sh*t.


- Hey!


- No, I asked

for my egg

under the hollandaise sauce

and the bacon on top!

Uh, you know, Constance,

if you're busy,

we could do this another time.

No, no, no, Ron, no.

No, no, no.

And as your partner,

I am always there for you.

M
-more like investor.

I'm sorry

I can't be there in person,

but I am with you on
-screen.

Let's start with our look within.

Everybody close your eyes.

We want to bring our hands

She's out of town. Relax.

and focus on the energy.


- Mm, baby!


- What the f*ck?

Whoa
-ho,

and that is Jack Botty.

Oh, whoa. Okay, sh*t.

Uh

what's going on?

always has 20

Ron Donald,

Party Down Catering,

and we are here for
-
-

um, I cannot say.

sh*t. Your surprise 45th.

It's today.

I got an invitation.

Jesus Christ.

Why didn't you say something?

Well, because you said Evie

was out of town,


- so I assumed it was canceled.


- f*ck.

Uh, she's in the living room,

um,

and guests are coming,

like, now.

Oh, that's great. Okay, cool.

Uh, great!

Listen, I'm gonna

go around the f
-
-

I'm gonna go around the front,

okay?

I'm gonna come

in the front door.

I'm gonna be surprised.

And we're gonna have

a great party.

Okay.

I'm gonna ask you to keep this

under your hat,

though, okay?

What this is,

you never saw me.

You never saw this.

No, no, no,

you can't come with me.

Just go hide somewhere.


- Come in later.


- Okay.

Okay, you heard the man.

You never saw him.

Like, now or ever?

Surprise!

Oh, man.

You got it. Good one.

Oh, man!

You should've seen

the look on his face.

He really looked surprised.

I
-
-o
-o
-o
-okay, okay,

I
-I
-I know that thing

that happened earlier

was a little bit awkward.

I think it's

at least medium awkward.

Look, look,

this is a big opportunity.

You see how classy

this place is,

these classy people?

I want more of that.

So can we just do our jobs?

And don't rock the boat, okay?

That
-that song was our cue,

so let's go.

Come on, let's go. Yeah.


- Yay.


- Great, let's do it.

Lucy Dang. Great.

Thank
-
-

Yeah, cut the cucumber.

That's the job. That's the job.

and on the count of three,

we will open our eyes,

fully cleansed

for a great event.

One, two, three.

Hey, kid.

You okay?

Yeah, I mean, I

guess I'm just wrestling

with a slight dilemma.

Ooh. Dilemma, huh?

Have you ever had the chance

to do something big,

like, change
-your
-life big,

but it's against the rules?

Mm, actually, Jiminy

Sackson.

let me tell you a story.

It's 1983,

and the talk of the town

is the title sequence

for the movie Hardbodies.

Everybody wants in.

I couldn't even

get an audition.

So I dressed up

like a waitress,

I snuck into the producer's

country club,

and I surprised him at lunch

with my résumé,

my headshot, and extra charm.

And I got that audition.

So chase your dreams, Sanklin,

even if you have

to break a few rules.


- Did you get the part?


- No, I did not.

I lost it to Deb Hamming.

It happened a lot.

She looked just like me,

but she had

slightly bigger boobs.

But I was not gonna

let the rules

get between me and my dream.

What rules, exactly?

The day of the sh**t,

Nels, my drug dealer, and I

dressed up as cops,

and we arrested Deb

for possession

of one kilo of cocaine

that Nels had planted

in her car.

Then we handcuffed her

to a radiator

in a warehouse downtown

while I took her ID

and sashayed

right onto the set.

Isn't that, like, a crime?

I don't know. I'm not a lawyer.

But what are laws anyway

but basically rules?

Well, you made it

in the movie, right?

No, no, I had never worn a pair

of roller skates in my life.

So take one, I skated

right off the end of a pier.

Anyway, what do you wanna do?

Okay, so Ron said we have

to stay out of private spaces,

but there's a bathroom here

with mirrors on either side,

and I was like,

if I did the Chumble

to the new Mo Dip single

and you could see it

in both mirrors,

like, this could be

game
-changing for me.

What is your career?


- Content.


- What?

Like, web videos and stuff.

Computer things

with your telephone?

Yeah.

Well, then maybe

you should stick to the rules.

What happened

to "chase that dream"?

Well, I thought you were

talking about a real dream,

like actor or something.

Here's my story.

I've been fired

from every job I ever had.

Is that the whole story?

I'm not a storyteller.

My medium is food.

The point is

a true artist

is breaking the rules

all the time.

Whoa, you're kidding.

Hey, what's up? How you doing?

Happy birthday to you ♪

Evie, relax. It's going great.

It's just a big step.

I've never thrown him

a party before.

He's a parties guy.

He's particular about parties.


- This is what I need.


- Okay.


- Thank you very much.


- My pleasure.

You know who he looks like?


- Who?


- "Are we having fun yet?"

You remember that?

It is you.

We met last year.


- Evie.


- Right. Henry.

I didn't know

you were a bartender.

Teacher, but I got divorced

and needed a side hustle,

so it was either this

or escort work.

I could see you being popular

with neglected

Bel Air housewives.

I get attached easily.

This is less messy emotionally.

Well, I'm sorry to hear it.

That sounds rough.

I guess we finally know

the answer to the question


- Hmm.


- "Are we having fun yet?"

The answer's no.


- Too soon?


- No, the opposite.

That me hasn't existed

for years.

So you don't act anymore

at all?

Only when I say, "My pleasure,"

as I hand people drinks.

That was an act?

It wasn't your pleasure?


- I felt nothing.


- Hmm.

Shame you quit. You're good.

Can you believe it?

Karaoke in your own house.

It's allowed.

Oh, the party's going great,

huh?

Yeah. Do you think we're gonna

see the cake bite things or

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

coming up any minute.


- any of the
-
-


- Yep.

Hey, my little

secret party planner.


- Hi, baby.


- Hey!

Mwah!

Tell me,

were you really surprised?

Yeah, the karaoke machine's

a beast.


- You heard it?


- Yeah, yeah.

It's incredible.


- The sound quality's amazing.


- Good.


- Let's get you on the mic.


- No.


- No? No?


- No.


- Come on.


- No.

Not my jam.

It's not my thing, honey.

One song, baby.

Come on.

Remember what

we're not gonna rock.

Your body?

The boat, Henry,

the boat.

Happy birthday, Jack!

John over there.


- Hey.


- Oh! Thanks, Lyle.

Yeah, hey, it's a bummer

you got canceled, man.

It'd have been fun

having you in the extended U.

Yeah. Only slightly canceled.

Just here researching a role.

Happy birthday, Jack Botty ♪

Lydia Dunfree.

Uh, did I miss the surprise?

Yeah, it was the first thing

that happened.

Oh, rats.

You know,

I hate being surprised,

but I love seeing someone else

get surprised.

It's like when you see someone

get eaten by a shark

and you're like, "Yay, not me."

Anyway, Escapade loved

working with you

on Infinity Sticks and was

thrilled to be invited,

but she didn't feel well,

so she asked her manager

to deliver her best wishes

and this gift basket.


- It's a really good one.


- Oh, thank you so much.


- Nice. Thank you!


- Thank you for coming.

Did you guys
-
-I want
-
-hmm.

Hey, uh, that's a bummer

Escapade's sick.

She's not.

Sick in the head, maybe.


- Oof.


- I don't know.

Since her big breakthrough,

she's just got gotten so moody.

Oh.

Well, probably just

adolescent girl brain.


- Yeah.


- They're crazy at this age.

Right?

Isn't she, like, 23?

Yes.

I don't know what's going on.

I mean, this has been her dream

ever since she was little.


- And now she's gone all weird.


- Hmm.

I'm afraid she's gonna fire me.

No. After all you've done?

No way.

The other day on her phone,

I saw a missed call

from Ted Fine.

Ooh.

Arguably the top manager

in the business.

Yeah.

I mean,

he's a seasoned veteran.

If he gets his claws into her,

I'm f*cked.

Oof.


- How are you?


- Oh
-
-

Oh, I forgot. Canceled.

You're a waiter again.

Yeah, uh, just to do

a little sense memory

for my callback

for the Lost Boys reboot.

Oh, must be so fun to be back

slinging d'oeuvres

with the old g*ng.

Is it?

Mm
-mm. No. No, it sucks.

Aw.

Another spoon broke, Ron.

This cheap sh*t

just doesn't cut it.


- What's that?


- Oh, new business cards.

You always gotta be prepared.

Jack loves parties.

Can you imagine,

me hanging out with Jack Botty,

Liam Neeson, Don Cheadle?

No. Why is it big?

Why is it
-
-

that's the style now, you know?

And I got a great deal

on these.

Two thousand for two grand.

You paid two grand for those?

Yeah. Can you believe that?

No.

Uh, Ron,

do you sleep in the van?

What? No.

W
-why do you ask that?

There's a little bed in there.

Yes, for power naps.

I take power naps.

I
-
-

I don't live in a van, okay?

I'm a business owner.

You smell like a guy

who lives in a van.

Thanks!

Mm. The stinkier,

the better, right?

Yeah, I've always been

a foodie.

You know, they say I have

an adventuresome palate.

Oh, you're totally

ignoring Ron

and fitting right in.

Ron is such a f*ckin' normie,

right?

Mmm.

No, I get it.

I think it's good.

Oh, my God.

If you think it's good,

you don't get it.

Wait, I'm not supposed

to like it?

Everyone is so stuck

on this idea

of food being good,

this whole taste and flavor

bullshit.

What you're supposed to do

is experience it,

engage with it,

grapple with it,

wrestle with it.

Food is art.

It should change

the way you think and feel.

Like Rilke's poem
-
-it says,

"You must change your life."

Mm
-hmm.

Totally.

No, I'm
-I'm getting that.

You don't get it.

Nope.

Oh, hey, Henry.

Uh
- uh, all good at the bar?

Yeah. So far, pretty good.

Yeah, good, good, good, yeah.

Great. All right.


- Thanks, man.


- Yeah.

Henry,

can I ask you a question?

Sure.

Just come here.

f*ck. Come here.

Do I smell?

Uh, what do you mean, Ron?

You know I had a hard time

during lockdown, right?

I mean, it was a year

with no events.


- Yeah.


- Right?

I was living in the van
-
-

You lived in the van?

I took any gig.

Secret weddings,

illegal poker tournaments,

goth raves,

unpermitted underground brises,

anything

to keep Party Down afloat.

I got COVID four times.

Ron, holy sh*t.

Which is fine. You know me.

I'm all about the grind.

Right? But I do now have

no sense of smell.


- What?


- Which is fine.

I mean,

at this point in my life,

I've pretty much

smelled it all.

But I can't blow this.

Fancy people will not hire you

for their fancy parties

if you smell.

So I'm asking you

as your boss

and as your friend

do I

smell?

Ah, look at that.


- Honestly, um


- Mm?

Kind of, yeah.

Sorry.

What in the hell, Sackson?

What did I tell you?

You can't
-
-

What is this circle?

Ron, I'm
-
-uh, I'm sorry.


- I, uh
-
-I just
-
-


- You just what?

I mean, I went over this

a thousand times.

Non
-party spaces off
-limits!

My God!

This is such an RDD,

I can't even tell you
-
-


- A what?


- An RD
-
-get
-
-

uh, what are you

still doing here?


- Get out! Pack it up!


- I'm sorry. I got confused.

How? I mean, the policy's

crystal clear, Sackson!

I don't know.

Keep out of clients'

non
-party spaces!

Oh, my God.

Appreciate it. Thank you.

Yeah.

Ah, what's

Tandy Lehman doing here?

Oh, she was Lady Snakes

in the last Max America movie.

Hi.

I was hiding in a bush.

Okay.

Jack! Happy birthday!

Hi, Evie!

Whoa.

I'd heard she was pretty wild,

but
-
-

You know, we just caught her

fooling around with Jack

before the party.

Gosh. I don't get it.

I mean,

she's had this nice career

for as long as I can remember.

I think that's part of it.

You know,

the whole child actor thing.

What thing?

Well, you know

how some child actors

end up kind of messed up?

That's a thing?

Since when?

Since whenever.

You know, like Judy Garland?

Judy Garland?

But she always seemed so happy,

singing and dancing around.

Oh, yeah, that was all an act.

She had major issues.

So a kid gets to live out

their actual dream

and that screws them up?


- How?


- I don't know, but it does.

I mean, the whole reason

Haley Joel Osment grew a beard

is 'cause he sh*t himself

in the face with a pellet g*n,

high on K,

trying to rob a Chipotle.

Wait, I saw Haley last month

up close.

His face was normal.

Okay, well,

a different former child actor.

But still

it's a thing.

Scuse me!

Coming through.

Oop! Where's the bathroom?

Oh.

Uh, how
-
-

I
-
-

Oh, uh

it's, uh
-
-it's off
-limits

back there.

Did you take a shower in there?

What?

No.

Oh, God.

Henry, how about now?

The smell.

Wow. Uh, very nice, actually.

Yeah, okay.

We're back on track.

Now I just wait for the right

moment and I give him my

card.


- Why is it big like that?


- What? It's fine.

It's fine.

What, did he take a shower

or something?

He might have, yeah.

I don't know

what you're worried about.

Clearly, he loves it.

No, I'm worried about my sanity

with the thing in the house.

Well, make your peace with it,

'cause Ann told me Nora said

Jack asked

if she knew your ring size.


- Oh, whoa.


- Mm
-hmm.

As long as he waits until I get

my green light on Human Tree 2.


- Oh, God.


- Can I get you anything?

She's had enough.


- I will have
-
-


- These will do, actually.

Thank you.

If Jack does propose
-
-

I got two words for you:

"Belize wedding."

sh*t. He's gonna propose?

What do you think we should do?

Whatever. It's like, once

you get to that level of rich,

they get into these, like,

dramas and stuff like it's fun.

They like it.

Oh, my God.

What are you doing?

Hey.

Uh

Sorry, I
-I, um
-
-this was
-
-

I
-I was going by

and I saw this poster.

I was like, "What?"

I actually auditioned

for A Far Cry,so

You saw how?

I
-I was
-
-I
-
-it was
-
-

it was, like,

a reflection over there.

I literally heard your boss

tell everyone

not to go in here.

Yeah, the clients' private
-
-

Yeah, that's what this is.

And so I was
-
-

why am I in here?

I'm
-I'm just gonna
-
-uh, no.

You don't
-
-that's not for you.


- What the hell's this?


- What is that?

What is that?

Huh.

I'm
-
-


- We, uh
-
-


- Right.

Jack and Tandy.

Jack's having an affair.

Or something

that looks like it.


- I
-
-


- It's unbelievable.

Again.

Again?

I am such an idiot.

It's
-
-

sorry.

And you just tell me

like a normal person.

I didn't want

to f*ck up the party.

You love parties that much?

No, my boss is in

a tough spot with his company

and he's really hoping

to do business with Jack,

so my plan was, hide the note,

Ron does his business,

and then after the party,

you get the note.

Maybe not

the worst plan in the world.

I mean, I was

a little proud of it.


- Maybe a good plan.


- Thank you.


- Mm
-hmm.


- Anyway, I'm really sorry.

It's no big deal.

Your boyfriend's affair?

Oh, I thought you meant

the private space policy thing.

Oh, no.

We break that all the time.

I'm on two of Jack's Percocet

right now.


- Mm.


- Yeah. You want one?

Uh
-huh.

Everybody have fun tonight ♪


- Whoo!


- Whoo!

Everybody

Have fun tonight ♪

Oh, sure makes

for a fun night, right?

Oh, it's a great gift.

Great gift.


- You like karaoke?


- Oh, I love it.

You know, I've
-I've never

tried it

in a home setting, you know?

Uh, way cooler, I imagine.


- It's similar, actually.


- Oh.

You know what I was thinking

would be cool

is to do, like, a theme thing,

you know,

like Rat Pack Night

or Disco Night.

Yeah, or
-or
-or
-or
-or

Rock and Roll Night

or, uh

uh, you know, other nights.

Probably drive Evie crazy,

but

Hey, who wears the pants,

am I right?

I mean, you're Max America.

You make a solid point.

Everyone ♪

Beautiful!

You know, maybe we should, uh,

get eyeballs on a calendar,

you know, pencil in some dates?

I can handle

all the boring details and
-
-

What? What? What?

You use Tipo Fico?

Do I what?

It's Tom Ford's

small
-batch conditioner.

Yeah, I got a bottle at the,

uh, Locarno Film Festival

in a swag bag.

I just
-
-I've never met anyone

who used it before.

No, I do not wear it, so

Oh.

I see what you're getting.

I'm getting that as well.

I feel like it's wafting in

from over here.

I think it's that guy.

sh*t, I'm buzzing.

Oh, I gotta take care of this.

But I'll come back

with the calendar, okay?

Yes? Oh, finally. Thank God.

So I guess I just

wanted to get a sense

what's your take

on the whole child actor thing?

Child actor thing?

You know, like Judy Garland.

No, thanks.

Actually, um, apparently,

some child actors

can end up with issues.

And since my daughter

I was just wondering

Oh, I don't have any issues.

I'm fine.

Oh.

Great.

Okay.

I mean I don't know.

Maybe?

But you said no.

But maybe

I'm actually pretty f*cked up

and I've been

a terrible person.

Oh.

Probably not that bad, right?

I mean, you probably

haven't been that

f*cked up in

-oh, dear.

You seem

pretty well

Are you sure?

God! Stupid, stupid.

Use his Tipo Fico.

What are you thinking, Ron?

What are you f*cking thinking?

I use the booze and the dr*gs

as an excuse to act selfishly,

and I don't think

of other people's feelings.

But do you think that this

is a child actor thing

or
-or a you thing?

I never had any normal friends.

I never got to goof around

or go to prom.

You never got

to go to the prom?

sh*t.

Yes, it is.

See, that should be

Maybe the most important party

A prom.

Prom?

Escapade never got one.

I need to save her

Details are all there.

Deposit check's attached.

Okay. Okay.

You see?

Yeah, that's how a bear

got my uncle.

Uh, seriously?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Thought you said

you quit acting.

Oh, uh, I did.

This is a high school play.

The drama teacher

at my school d*ed.

There's no money to replace

him, so they were like,

"Hey, Pollard, didn't you

used to be an actor?"

Jeez, I feel bad.

If we had cast you

in A Far Cry,

you would not be

in this predicament.

Unless that story

was an act too.

Oh, no. I auditioned.

You produced it?

In my pretentious early years.


- Mm
-hmm.


- Yes.

Did we call you back?


- No.


- Hmm.

But it's good to finally know

who's to blame

for my predicament.

Sorry.

I owe you a drink.

Here. This is me.

You know,

just if you ever wanna collect.

Just promise

no fairy
-tale sh*t.

Oh, no, I'm a total mess,

guaranteed.

What's with the card?

Like, why is it weirdly big?

No, this. What's Party Dowm?

With an M?

sh*t!
