03x02 - Gossip Guy

[bunniefuu]

Honestly, I think you've been lying
this whole time. That's the thing.

Jaime calling me a liar
is just a deflection.

She is so quick to jump on the bandwagon
to condemn me and to call me a liar.

Maybe she's intimidated by Anna.

Which part do you think I made up?
Which part? Like, break it down for me.

-I think--
-You think she never called me.

-She never called me that day.
-No.

I know she-- I know she talks to you
'cause she tells me she talks to you.

-Which portion do you think I made up?
-That those words, she said, came from me.

-'Cause they did not come from me.
-You're concerned with clearing yourself?

-Are you concerned with--
-I'm concerned with this situation.

The point is, I know what I said,
and I know what I didn't say and I know--

-That's fine, and I'm okay--
-That's why I'm saying you made it up.

I didn't make it up, though.

Somewhere something got mixed up
in between, but I didn't make it up.

Ugh, Christine is as fake as her boobs.

I know what I said.
I know what I didn't say,

and I know what the truth is.

And I just wanna make it clear
to Christine,

don't include me in things
that I was never involved in from day one.

I try to stay as far away
from drama as possible.

I honestly feel like
you try to start the drama.

I don't try to start the drama.

-Mm-hmm.
-I had told this to Kane

out of emotional vulnerability,
because I was crying.

Never in a million years…
Really, that's how naive I am.

…would've thought
that Kane would do all of this.

I really didn't. I really don't have time
to be playing these games.

I'm not here to convince you of anything.
I'm only relaying what was told to me.

-That's all.
-That this person--

And I'm going to defend till I die

that this was relayed to me.

-[Kelly] Hi!
-Oh my god.

-How are you?
-So nice to meet you.

-So nice to meet you.
-Good to see you too.

Awesome.

Do you-- Are you big into ramen?

-Love ramen.
-Really?

-Yes.
-Do you like spicy?

Yeah, I do.

-Do you drink sake?
-Yes.

Well, I think we should, like,
order some sake.

Normally guys try to impress me
and take me to these really fancy places.

John is very good-looking,
and he already wins a brownie point

for taking me to a very chill ramen place.

-Here, cheers.
-Cheers.

Amazing.

-Are you tearing up already?
-No.

-You haven't even started yet.
-Nope, nope.

So do you… do you date online?
Like, do you use apps a lot?

I have to make a confession.

My friends made that profile for me.

-So, the person--
-The profile I was talking to was not--

-The person you were speaking to…
-Who was it?

…is one of my best friends, Kane.

Okay. [laughs]

It's a male that you've been speaking to.

-I have no idea what was said.
-Awesome. He's very good.

It was very believable.

So, my friend Kane,
who told me to show up here

because he said as a mutual friend.
I don't do online dating.

I've been talking to him for a few days.

-A few days?
-Things are getting serious.

Did you tell him, like,
your deepest, darkest secrets?

No. No, no. [laughs]

That's so funny.

I'm going to k*ll him.

Now John's in front of me
and the date is going really well,

I'm really happy
that he's very, like, chill

and, you know, almost too calm

about, um, the whole catfish thing.

Cheers… to Kane.

-Do you wanna do a little challenge?
-Okay.

[Kelly] You need this…

and do this…

-You might hate me after, but let's see.
-It's all right.

You only live once.

[Kelly] Okay, I'm getting nervous now.

-I don't think they'd give us anything--
-That will k*ll you.

-Weapons-grade pepper spray.
-Oh, they might.

Woo, I'm… I'm like definitely feeling it.

[coughing]

Wow, okay.

Do you know your love language?

My first one's probably time
because you can't buy time.

-No
-Also, I'm such a busy person.

For me to give my time to somebody,
it's like my way of showing love

and my way to receive love.

-[John] Thank you.
-[laughs]

[clears throat]

-[waiter] Hi, you guys, are we doing okay?
-[Kelly] Mm-hmm.

-It's cool if I bring out the check?
-[John] Mm-hmm.

-Okay. I'll be right back
-[both] Thank you.

My lips are burning,
but I'm just like addicted.

Are you really?

[slow whimsical music plays]

Hi. Are you ready to pay?

[spluttering] Um, the, the…

Let me, uh, see the bill.

-Okay, gotcha. [laughs]
-[Kelly] Thank you.

Here, I got it.

No, I'm happy to… put in.

So good. Aw…

[Kelly] I'm all about being
an independent woman

and paying my own bills.

But we're on our first date
and getting ramen.

It's not like we're eating
something super expensive and fancy.

[John] Actually not even a lot.

Thanks for coming.

[chuckles] Okay.

I feel like John should pick up the check
for our first date.

Is chivalry dead?

Okay, okay.

[rap music plays]

-[Maria] Anna, what are you doing?
-[Anna] What? I gotta set the temperature.

-Cool.
-[Maria] Okay.

[Anna] Eighty-five.

f*ck it, this is good.

[Jaime] Hello?

-Oh, Anna.
-[Anna] Oh.

-Jaime.
-[Jaime] Hi.

-[Anna] You look so cute.
-[Jaime] I know.

You guys are so casual.

-You look so cute. "I know."
-[Maria] I know. [laughs]

You look so causal and comfy. I thought
we were going to dinner or chill.

What are we doing? Hanging out?

[Anna] Hanging out
or whatever you wanna do.

-I'm a little overdressed.
-[kisses]

Maria wants to learn how to play pool.

-Not that I know how.
-[Jaime] I don't really know how either.

-It's like the blind leading the blind.
-[Anna] Yes, leading the blind.

-[Jaime] Jinx. I look like--
-[Anna] I love your purse.

Oh, thank you. Oh, yeah, I mean…

It's like "xièxiè."
In Chinese, it means "thank you."

[Anna and Maria laugh]

When you go buy take out
and they give it in those plastic bags.

Candy.

-[Jaime] Oh, thank you.
-[Anna] Japanese.

-I feel like I'm trick or treating.
-[all laugh]

Thank you.

-[Anna] Maria.
-[Maria] Thank you.

-[Anna] Maria.
-[Maria] Mm-hmm.

[Anna] You break.

-No, Maria.
-[Jaime] Wait.

-You're pointing in the wrong direction.
-The ba*ls.

-[Anna laughs]
-Thanks.

[Maria yelps, laughs]

-Okay, maybe I was wrong.
-[Jaime] Let me try.

[Anna] Jaime, you wanna try?

I cannot miss.

Bravo.

[Jaime] So,
what have you been up to lately?

[ba*ls clatter]

I don't understand
why certain people in particular,

really need to, like, up one another.

-Well, there's-- Who you're talking about?
-[Anna] Several.

-[Jaime] Several, but there's one that's…
-In your face?

…very extreme and very obvious.

-Christine?
-[Jaime] Yeah.

[Anna] "Nobody loves me."

[Jaime] "Everybody's against me."

-"Everybody's turning against me."
-[all laugh]

[Maria] I told you.

Oh my god, this…

Right? "Nobody likes me."

-She's on self-destruct mode.
-She is self-destructing herself.

Kane?

They gossip all day long
about other people.

Has nothing else to do
except gossip and gossip.

Stay out of it.
Didn't you learn your lesson by now?

Don't you get tired of gossip?

-He has a big mouth.
-[Anna] Then turn around.

He was gossiping about me to you.

Give him a month or two.
He'll turn around and start vice versa.

[Jaime] Mm-hmm.

[Anna] Honestly, truly,
I don't understand it.

There are more things in life

than superficial bullshit.

Right?

[Jaime] Mm-hmm.

[rap music fades]

Oh, here you are.

-[Christine] Hmm.
-[Dr. Chiu] Uh-oh.

[Christine] Having dinner.

-Oh, you're double-pinting it, huh?
-[scoffs]

Yup.

What happened?

Oh… [sighs]

Frustrating.

[Dr. Chiu] Mm-hmm.

Jaime basically accused me
of being a liar.

And I will stand until my, like, death

because I know what was told to me.

-Is there anyone else who doesn't believe?
-I confided in Kane.

Not only did Kane not believe me,
but he went to Anna's house

and told her.

What was his motive in, like,
going to tell Anna?

Yeah, that's the part I didn't understand
and that really, actually…

made me sad
because that day when Kane came over,

and I told him about the call,
he was actually really sympathetic,

or I'm just really blind or naive.

I would've never expected him
to turn on me this way.

If some troll from the Internet started
saying, "Christine, you're a liar,"

I could give a f*ck, but this is Kane.

I thought Kane was my friend. So…

Isn't Kane the one who says,
"We're Asians."

"We don't fight each other."
So what do you do? Just like to instigate?

I don't know what his motive is honestly,
Gabe,

but I feel like he had harbored some

anger or bitterness towards me.

I feel like Kelly and Kim
will just follow whatever Kane says.

-[Dr. Chiu] Mm-hmm.
-They don't believe me.

-But, Gabe, I don't…
-Well--

I don't really care who believes me or not
because I am not making this sh*t up.

I know.

-That's one easy way to rile you up.
-[chuckles]

I gave up a hyper car because that jerk
of a salesperson riled you up, so…

-Well, he accused me of lying.
-I know.

You definitely don't like
any semblance of lies or even white lies.

-Hey.

I look like your kid.
I look like your son. Look.

[Mimi] Hi, son.

-[laughs] Hi, Mom.
-We're matching.

-What the hell?
-You look so cute.

-Aw.
-How are you? I just came from school.

-Oh…
-[Kane laughs]

This is so nice.
You live like ten minutes near here.

I know, ten minutes from my house.
Where is Christine?

Is she coming?

-I don't know.
-We'll wait.

I saw your invite
for Skyler's birthday party.

-So excited. He's so excited. I'm tired.
-No, wait, what's with the theme?

-Is it like, I know you--
-Animal. Animal.

-Animal? Because I saw a T-Rex.
-Mm-hmm.

-Every year I do nice party for Skyler.
-For him, yeah.

-I have only one right now.
-Yeah. You have one son.

He getting older now.

When did you have Skyler? Eight years ago?

-[Mimi] Nine year ago.
-Nine years ago.

-[Mimi] Yeah. We do in vitro. Yeah.
-In vitro, yeah.

We did in vitro.

Skyler, he very special to me,
so I so excited to get Skyler,

you know, a big party
and celebrate for his eighth birthday.

He have a hole in the heart,
so I always worry.

[Don] Here's Skyler.
He just came out of surgery.

He had a shunt. Here's mom.

There's the tubes out of his--
I guess out of his lungs.

[Mimi] Mm-hmm.

[Don] You can see they go
right in there. This hurts.

[Mimi]
But Skyler getting better and better,

and he getting stronger and stronger.

He has so much energy and hyper.

He exactly like Don,
like the tiger but inside like an angel.

They all crazy the same.

I don't know what wrong
with Christine today.

I thought she was coming.

Last week, I talk to her.

-She said, "Yeah."
-Did you call her? Should we call her?

-I don't think she's coming, babe.
-I just wanna--

I… I don't think. Christine don't text me.

-Let's just find out.
-I already told her.

[phone line ringing]

-Christine. Hi.
[Christine] Hi, what's going on?

Hey, just wanted to check.
I'm with Mimi now. Um…

Are you coming to lunch?
Because we ordered a f*ck ton of food.

[Christine] No,
because I have to pick up Baby G.

Okay. No worries.
Then I'll eat everything for you.

-[Mimi] You f*cked up my life, baby.
-[Kane] No, it's okay.

-I've been waiting for you.
-[Kane] No, it's okay.

I'm not gonna lie. It's so beautiful here,
and I thought you coming.

I get so upset when my friend,
when my girlfriend, she not coming.

[Christine] I told you last week
I have to pick up Baby G from preschool.

Having lunch with Mimi isn't just popping
around the corner and grabbing a bite.

The girl lives two hours away.

There's no way I can drive two hours there

and two hours back
to make it in time to pick up Baby G.

[Kane] Yeah, it's okay, Christine,
I just wanted to call to see.

We've ordered a lot of food,
that's why. [laughs]

-I'll call you back.
-[Christine] Okay.

All right, bye, bye, bye. All right.

Such a liar. Do you believe her?

She always says Baby G,
but do you believe her? She has a nanny.

You know, I don't believe her,
to be honest with you.

I don't believe a word Christine says.
I don't believe anything. [laughs]

I don't even think Gabe even comes
from, like, a royal descendant.

I mean, is Baby G really a prince?

I really don't think so.
I think I have to Google that.

I feel like
I've been through so much in my life

that I have more connection with you.

You know,
sometimes Anna when she's nice. [laughs]

With Christine, it's a little harder.

[spluttering] And I don't know.
I just-- I mean, I have fun with her.

I talk to her. She's funny,
but, like, as a friend, like,

she's not there for me.
I don't think she's there for you either.

[Mimi] I love Christine a lot.

-If I call Christine--
-Bullshitting around.

-She say, "Mimi, I can't come. So sorry."
-Yeah.

-I'm fine. Everybody busy.
-That's fine. Yep. Yep.

I understand that. I understand.
She has a baby, but I have a baby too.

I try to plan for a long time
to go to lunch with you guys.

-Yeah.
-You know?

If she's not coming today, I'm not happy.

[Christine]
We're on the hunt for food, Kevin.

-We're gonna show you what LA is about.
-I've been here for almost three years.

Just because you slept with a couple
of girls, you think you're an LA native?

You don't think highly of me.

-Three years, you think there's a couple?
-[clears throat]

-Oh! Dig.
-Hey.

[groans] That is not muscle.
That is pure fat.

-Where are we going?
-Do you like street food?

[scoffs] Dude, I grew up on that.
It's all I could afford.

-Really?
-Wait, do you like street food?

-I love street food.
-What? No way!

Yeah. It's kind of like a treasure hunt.

Looking for, like, the best cheap food
and not going to the bathroom afterwards.

I'm shocked
that you would like street food.

What are you talking about?
Last time we ate outside that restaurant

like next to the bus station.
Remember the breakfast we had?

-That's not street food.
-Okay, it was on the street.

-[Kevin] Yeah, but so is a restaurant.
-[laughs]

[Christine] And with all
that's going on with Kane,

I could use a couple extra tacos.

Kane has a history of getting in people's
business and causing drama,

and I don't like that.

-[Christine] Oh, here we are.
-[Kevin] Hey.

-[Christine] Super Gallito.
-[Kevin] You dressed for the truck.

You literally dressed
for this truck occasion.

-That's amazing.
-I prearranged it. [laughs]

-[both laugh]
-I knew you would.

I've definitely fallen victim
with Kane's gossip and his, uh…

big mouth.

And I can forgive him,
and we've moved forward.

Now it sucks that he's still doing
it with other friends, like Christine.

She's in a tough position.
I don't think she did anything wrong.

I just really feel for her.

-[Christine] Let's see.
-[Kevin] Christine!

-[Christine] What?
-This is so cool.

[laughs]

-Never thought this.
-Oh my god!

I'm gonna have a quesadilla.

[Kevin] Fish burrito.

[cashier] Anything else?

[Kevin] No, I think that's it.

[Christine] Oh, a torta!

-[Kevin] Do you take diamonds?
-[Christine] Shh, no.

-[Kevin] You take Chanel sunglasses?
-[Christine] These are Gucci.

Gucci sunglasses? [chuckles]

You know, I wanted
to take you to IHOP one time.

[Christine laughs]

[rap music plays]

[man] Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

[Kelly] I haven't been
to an eight-year-old's party for so long.

-[Kane laughs] Me too.
-[Kelly] What do you do?

[Kane] I don't know, eat?

I wonder how many Rolls-Royce's
does Mimi have.

Like one, two, three,
four, five, six. [laughs]

[dinosaur roars]

[rap music plays]

[man] Oh, absolutely.

-[Kane] Hi, Skyler.
-Happy birthday.

-[Kane] Are we wearing Gucci together?
-[Skyler] I think so.

Are we wearing Gucci together? I love it.

Oh, look at this dinosaur.

How cute. Wow.

Here's your hot dog for the day.

-[dog barks]
-[women laugh]

-Dude, you look great, dude.
-We're matching shoes. Dior.

-Yeah, but yours look cooler, more hip.
-[laughs]

-What'd you get?
-This is, uh, just money.

-Cool. Can I open it?
-It's in a red Chinese envelope, though.

It means good luck.

-Whoa!
-Yeah. Benjamins.

[upbeat music plays]

-[Leah] How are you?
-[Kelly] I'm good.

I'm just trying to stay peaceful. [laughs]

Make sure everybody's happy.

-Is this glass?
-No, it's not.

Make sure you don't smash this today.

-Nobody's fighting.
-That's not possible. Not possible.

Well, there's moments.

Moments that everybody's peaceful,
everybody's happy.

And then the next day,
things change again.

-Oh, she's pretty, Kevin.
-[Kevin] Who?

[Kane] She's-- Oh…

-That's your type.
-[Kevin] That is my type.

[Kane] She's pretty. She married?

-She probably is.
-That's even better. No.

[both laugh]

I definitely know that Kim and I,
we are… [clicks tongue]

…done.

But it's really nice to…

see that I might get my wingman back,
my best friend.

Kane and I aren't quite best friends yet.

But I'm hopeful.

[Kane] Okay, we'll take one with Mimi.
Mimi, come. Okay.

[photographer] Mimi.

-Is it a real dino? Is someone in there?
-[Mimi] Yes.

-[dinosaur roars]
-[Kane and Mimi scream]

[all laugh]

Whoa, this dog has more jewelry than I do.

[laughs]

I have to say,
you throw really, really good parties.

[Almar] Is that vegetarian?

-It's so good.
-[chuckles]

-He like the girl with the blue dress.
-Which one? Oh, this one?

[Skyler] You look great tonight.

-[Kane] Oh, she's pretty.
-Yeah.

-Hi, what's your name?
-[girl] Delilah.

[Kane] Delilah? Hey, nice to meet you.

Do you like Skyler?

Is he cute?

Don't know.

[Kane and Mimi laugh]

Hold on, Mimi,
you have so many beautiful friends.

-[Kevin] Thank you.
-Can you work on this one?

Okay, my type is your one that's married.

[Mimi] They say they don't care
you get married.

-Oh, really?
-They don't care.

-Oh, wow, so you like married women?
-[Kevin] No.

-I don't actually.
-Wait, aren't you single now?

-Am I single? Who's asking?
-[Guy] Yeah.

[laughing]

[Leah] Have you ever tried
open relationship before?

You wanna join us?

-[Guy laughs]
-Oh!

[Kevin] Leah.

Is this really for you,
or was this for me? Why is Garrett now--

It's competition, now. Competition.

Um, so yeah, you… you have a little,
you have a little some--

-There you go. Let me get that for you.
-[gasps]

-Does this count as a…
-[Guy gasps]

It's like our first kiss.

[Leah] No, that's mine. That's mine.

[Guy gasps]

-Oh sh*t.
-I don't mind kissing girls.

-Really?
-Yeah.

What about--?

-Oh my god.
-[Kevin] Wow.

Okay.

[Kevin] Woo!

That was probably
my favorite part of the party.

[chuckles]

-Is Christine coming today?
-I don't know. Is she coming?

-[Kelly] Who?
-Christine. Because we had lunch--

-I invite her to come today, Christine.
-And then--

-[Kelly] Today, I don't know.
-I don't know.

Last time we invite her for lunch,
she not going.

[Kane] I know.

It's Skyler's birthday.
I don't know. I invite her.

She doesn't like
to drive to Newport. [laughs]

-[Mimi] I drive everywhere for her.
-[Kane] Yeah.

Every time she ask me to drive to Beverly,
I am going. I'm ready. I support her.

[dinosaur growls]

There are dinosaurs everywhere.

Fun!

Hello! Oh, you look so sexy.
What's the matter?

Why are you giving me a funny face?
What am I missing?

[Mimi] I hate you.

Why do you hate me? What happened?

[Mimi] We missed you.

What happened? Huh?

I waited for you yesterday.

For lunch.

[Christine] Mimi should not
be giving me sh*t right now

for not being able to join her
for a casual ladies' lunch.

Mimi, I told you,
I had to pick up Baby G from preschool.

Hi, Ms. Evelyn. It's Christine for Baby G.

Okay, hop in, baby.
What did you learn at school today?

I have something in my mouth.

Okay, I will give you time
to chew your pretzels.

[Mimi] Say something right now.

I never flake on people.

-You do that sh*t day, I k*ll you.
-What are you talking about?

Let's not forget that time

that I cut my family vacation short
to fly back from Europe

just so I could make it in time
for her anniversary party.

How about that?
Does that count for anything?

Was I being a bad friend there?

-I don't know. I'll talk to you later.
-Yeah.

There's no point. Don't waste your breath.

-Yeah, don't bother.
-[Mimi] Okay.

[tense music plays]

Yeah.

Uh…

[in Mandarin] What did she say to her?

[in English] They were fighting.

[Christine] What the f*ck is going on
with this whole Mimi thing?

This sh*t, like, really annoys me.

[Yu Tsai] Hey, Dr. Chiu. Um…

-[Dr. Chiu] Yeah.
-[Yu Tsai] Christine's quite upset.

I guess Mimi and Kane
had lunch the other day--

Hold on here, one second, okay?

-Mimi? I want you to know something, okay.
-Huh?

I understand that, uh, supposedly

you, Kane, and Christine
were supposed to get together.

-Mm-hmm. Yeah.
-Okay.

But I am really upset.

[rap music playing]

I invite her.

-I talk with Christine on the phone.
-She would never stand you up.

I don't give a f*ck who said what

because, the fact is,
she would not go ahead and stand you up.

[Christine] I've had it with these people.
I've done nothing wrong to any of them.

I've only been nice
and only befriended them

and only welcomed them into my life.

And this is the thanks I get?

I'm frustrated. I'm sad. I'm annoyed.

But I also realize,
all roads lead to Kane.

My issues with Anna, my issues with Jaime,
my issues now with Mimi.

He's in the middle of all of this.

This is bullshit. I'm not talking.
I don't care about you guys now.

Okay? I don't care about you guys.

Don't f*ck around.

[Kane hesitates] No, it was just a lunch.

No, it's a lunch, Gabe.
Okay, fine, we can talk somewhere else.

-Let's go talk somewhere else.
-[Dr. Chiu] Yeah.

-[Guy] What's going on?
-[Yu Tsai] I can take Baby G.

[Baby G groans]

-[Guy] Are you okay?
-[Dr. Chiu] I am fine.

Okay. We don't-- I don't want you to talk.

[Dr. Chiu] I mean,
I don't know why this is an issue.

[Kane] It's not an issue.

-[Dr. Chiu] So why is she suddenly angry?
-[Kane] Why is she angry?

[Dr. Chiu] 'Cause--

But even if she were, the fact is that--

[tense music plays]

[Kane] What the f*ck happened?

[Don] Hey, come here.

Come here. I wasn't involved,
so what the f*ck happened?

[Kane] Christine has f*cking lost it.
