03x05 - How To Lose Friends and S**t-Can Your Reputation

Post by bunniefuu »

RHIAN: Previously on Moonshine

- What are you doing?

- Evicting you.

I'm drunk with power and the

party's just getting started!

The kid, the house,

I still want those things.

Kid?

Terry wants kids

like an addict wants smack.

[GRUNTING]

Manthusium is friggin' core!

WES: Daddy-o?

No, I haven't told him yet.

No, dad, let me do it.

Let me tell them.

Pink beaut?

LIDIA: You deserve this.

- [LOUD SNIFF]

- Yeah!

Lidia (V.O.): As a woman in business,

your public persona is everything.

Your image must be

carefully controlled.

You have to seem ruthless

yet likeable,

grounded yet effervescent,

effortless but manicured

within an inch of your life.

And you can never age

or go grey or forget to smile

or be a b*tch or a pushover,

and you can never,

ever lose your cool.

But image is only part

of your public persona.

- [ANKLE MONITOR BEEPING]

- LIDIA: The other part is reputation.

Your baggage may be designer,

but it's still baggage, baby!

FINN: Sorry, mom.

"Lidia Bennett"?

No bueno.

LIDIA: When you're a woman,

a tiny blemish isn't

a small imperfection.

It's a neon hazard sign:

"Toxic, do not approach!"

What about Lidia Finley-Cullen?

LIDIA: Men may be able

to fail upwards, but nope,

not us ladies.

[DIAL-UP MODEM SOUNDS]

FINN: Well, other than your thesis

on biophilic design theory, nada.

According to the Internet, Lidia

Finley-Cullen doesn't exist.

Okay!

LIDIA: Thank the gods of technology

I changed my name before the Internet.

I missed you, baby!

["BAD SIDE OF THE MOON"

BY APRIL WINE PLAYING]

This is my life, my life ♪

this is my life, this is my life ♪

this is my life, my life ♪

LIDIA: Okay, we need

to set up a meeting

with the structural engineer,

talk to the contractors

Ooh, when we order light fixtures,

we're talking a six-

to eight-month back order

on the industrial pendants

I want in the atrium.

Ooh! Is that bergamot?

Straight from umbria.

Mmm, we should add it

to the guest toiletries!

That's not really in

the purview of the architect.

Everything is in

the purview of an architect

who gives a hoot.

Also, I've been thinking

We should get a little

advance press going.

Maybe do a walkthrough,

announce my involvement?

Uh, actually, my father wants

to hold a beat on the press.

Oh?

Why?

I don't know. He's idiosyncratic.

Mr. family values one day,

Mr. party the next.

Things are always shifting with him.

Shifting

- Things?

- Yeah.

Yeah, well, that's totally cool.

I-I I love to shift.

I love to pivot!

[LAUGHS] Ms. Pivot, that's me!

Uh, but just so we're clear

He's still excited

about my design, right?

Excited?

He cancelled his Viagra script.

[LAUGHS]

But he did read about

your recent legal troubles.

Ah hm. I was afraid of that.

Uh, but that's all in the past.

Hence, Lidia Bennett

architecture and design

is now Lidia Finley-Cullen

architecture and design.

I'm a new person! Hello!

Well, technically, uh, a new

old person since Finley-Cullen

- is my maiden name.

- [PHONE BUZZING]

Google me prepare to be bored!

Um I have to answer this.

- Well, I'm not quite

- excuse me.

Hello?

Yeah

CRYSTAL: Crystal Clean is

a respectable, clean business,

hence the name.

We clean with our clothes

on and strictly adhere

to the "tank top, shorts, jorts,

"flip flops, bare midriff

"but only on really hot days"

uniform policy.

Oh, and our belly button ring

protocol has changed,

which I think is for the bet

RHIAN: Thank you, Crystal,

for that huge waste

of everybody's time.

Hmph!

RHIAN: Now on to what

we've all been waiting for

The FCBA summer social!

[TAPPING ON GLASS]

If I may

During my reign, the event theme

was always a white party.

Dress code was beautiful white linens.

The menu was vichyssoise,

brie, and fluffy blanched

flour dinner rolls

RHIAN: Does anybody hear anything?

- CRYSTAL: Oh?

- I don't.

Uh, as the FCBA treasurer,

I still have a voice here.

Oh, did you find treasure?

No? Then zip it.

WOMAN: [IN A WHISPER]

Seriously, she can't do that!

RHIAN: As I was saying,

this year's summer social

is going to make past events

seem like a geriatric outing.

Good riddance to garden parties

and soggy cucumber sandwiches,

and say hello

- To the Queen's Cups!

- [ROYAL FANFARE]

Nothing says 'class' like a day

of drunken olympiad-level w*r!

KATIE: That horrible event

where everyone ended up in the ER?

Total dumpster fire!

Oh, does a dumpster fire

get you the cover

of the Gazette, vip parking

at the liquor store,

and make you a local hero?

Because that's what the winner

of the Queen's Cups gets!

The only news here

is that you're not worthy

of hosting the business

community's biggest event

of the season.

You have the social

skills of a wet towel.

- [CROWD MURMURING]

- Ha!

Not!

Everyone here loves me.

Three cheers for

your new prez, b*tches!

[SILENCE AND SPORADIC COUGHING]



Behold, BBT!

Manthusium's best-selling

performance enhancer.

Not only is it tasty af,

but it has 25+ vita-mens

and all the a-men-o acids

the body needs to achieve

man-essence actualization!

100% organic.

KEN: Hearty.

- Yeah, is that cinnamon I taste?

- No.

The spicy sensation

is the bull ball tonic

Bovine semen!

Nature's superfood!

SAMMY: Okay, well, to be honest,

I actually didn't come here

to sample product, I actually

came to share some news.

- [DOOR OPENS]

- SAMMY: Um, I'm

I'm dating Wes Lonergan!

And here he is!

Ryan.

You can tell a lot about

a man by his handshake.

Yours needs work, bro.

But there's hope in sight:

BBT, Manthusium's finest!

Ken.

You know, usually when

someone makes my boy happy,

I'm good with them.

But under the circumstances,

I'm sure you'll understand

why I think you're a piece of sh*t.

Dad!

Just telling the truth, son.

Oh, it's fine. I get it.

But I hope you'll

give me a chance sir.

My intentions are

To build a mega-resort

that'll crush the Moonshine,

Sammy's home.

Weak move, kid.

Weak, weak move.



Ready for that sample?

I'll take a case.

You think you can buy our respect?

[LAUGHS] I'm just kidding, bro!

Will that be cash, credit, or crypto?

Can it be cash, though?

I can't take the other stuff.



LIDIA: You gotta take it off, Terr.

It's my Scarlet letter!

A giant, blinking sign that says,

"Hey, this gal makes

catastrophic life choices."

TERRY: I don't need to remind

you that criminal actions

- have consequences.

- Oh, come on!

I follow the terms of my

conditional sentence-y thing.

My sh*t is together, I have a job,

a big one that I might lose if

I don't get rid of this thing.

Even if I was okay

with violating the terms,

- which I'm not

- [WHINING] Whyyy?

[QUIETLY] Internal Affairs

has opened a file on me.

God, Terr, that's serious.

Apparently I've been too lenient

on the Finley-Cullens,

so if I want to save my own job,

I need to be "by the book Terry."

- Ugh!

- Just stay the course.

One more month

and you're in the clear.

Aww.

RHIAN: [ON MEGAPHONE]

Listen up, b*tches!

The Queen's Cups is starting today!

LIDIA: The Queen's Cups?



Okay!

Thought I'd come home

for a little snack.

Oh God, not now, Terr.

I'm still recovering from

that cattle prod from yesterday.

While you had to jerk off into a cup,

that sadistic fertility doctor

left no tube unturned.

[RADIO PLAYING QUIETLY]

- Are you okay?

- Hmph!

The tests were your idea,

for the off-chance that one day,

not today, I decide, or not decide,

- that I want to have kids.

- I know, I know.

Look, and I don't mean to push you,

but doesn't

the thought of a little Terr

just melt your heart?

If you're talking

about your d*ck, sure.

Kids?

Well, infants have those

soft, unfused skulls.

Yuck.

And even if that is

your idea of adorable,

having kids is like supergluing

yourself to a meth monkey.

You are delusional.

I am not delusional!

Late nights, diapers, tantrums

It's nothing I'm not used to

down at the precinct.

A dramatic day

at Foxton PD is harassing

the elderly tourists

for a parking infraction.

Or dealing with your family.

- Well

- [BOTH LAUGH]

Look, come on, you

and I will be naturals.







LIDIA: I want in.

You, me,

partners for the Queen's Cups.

No! I don't partner with snakes.

Actually, snakes have spines;

I don't partner with worms.

After I gave you my pencil case

I thought we had a moment.

Did we not have a moment?

Why the sudden interest in my event?

Okay, your event is a chance

to remind the community

that I, Lidia Finley-Cullen,

am a fun yet upstanding

and trustworthy business owner ish.

[SIGHS]

The prize of a positive profile

in the Gazette

would give me that chance to re-brand.

Oh, as usual, Lidia

makes it all about herself.

Yes, it's about me,

but it's also about you.

I heard what happened at the meeting.

You want the FCBA to accept you,

think you're classy?

You're gonna have to learn

how to speak their language.

The charm b*mb offensive.

[WITH A GERMAN ACCENT]

Let me teach you my vays

You would teach me the dark arts?

By the end of the day, they'll

be kissing your ring, Rhian.

This is gonna be good

for the both of us.

Hmm?

- I'm in.

- Oh!

[SQUEALS WITH JOY]

Let's get to work!

LIDIA: I'm going as fast as I can!

RHIAN: [ON MEGAPHONE] Not fast enough!

How do you expect to win

the three-legged race

when you're running at a sloth's pace?

Let's go, bony rump!

A compliment in some places,

just not earth!

Let's try to reframe that

in a constructive way!

[ON MEGAPHONE] Let's go, bony rump

Please?

Remember,

think fun tidbits, not insults.

If you want to be liked,

you need to let them know

you see them,

in a non-stalker way. And go!

But I just squeezed out

two seven-pound flesh slabs.

I don't have time to remember

a fun tidbit about Wendy

Other than she needs

medical grade mouthwash.

Can we take a break?

When thirsty Katie

is right behind you,

inches away from winning it all,

are you gonna take a break?!

- No!

- Exactly!

It's not enough to train the body,

you gotta train the mind!

Now think quick!

[SCREAMING]

That's crazy!

- I like to call that the dodge.

- The dodge?

Yeah, for when you don't

have something nice to say,

but you don't want to be rude,

so you just say something generic.

That's dumb.

Why not just stare at them

in judge-y cold derision?

Trust me, this works in any situation.

Shocked? [GASPS] That's crazy!

In a serious conversation?

[IN A WHISPER] That's crazy!

That's crazy.

See? It's a perfect response.

You can even add a little chuckle,

the Swiss army knife

of any conversation.

[CHUCKLES]

[PANTING]



Am I dead? Is this the afterlife?

- No.

- Can you k*ll me then?

[CACKLES]

That's crazy!

- [BABIES BABBLING]

- [MAKES TRUMPET SOUNDS]

What is that? What are you doing?

Chestica Rabbit, famous drag queen,

left it in Cabin 6 one year.

A bit of improvising

when the real trophy

got turfed into the pond.

Okay, cool.

And what's this?

Sportsmanship Conduct,

or some loser-related shite.

- Ah.

- I need to borrow the rugrats.

Since when do you give

a raccoon's a-hole about babies?

I don't, but Terry thinks of parenting

as a direct pipeline

from boning to picnics,

and he needs to be

brought back to reality.

So you want to borrow my babies

to teach him a lesson?

Hard pass!

OSCAR: Uh

We could use the help, hun.

Help is for the weak.

I've been keeping

these babies alive solo

and I'm totally, 100% fine.

Okay, socializing

is an important skill.

You said so yourself!

Plus, it'd be good

for the twins to spend time

with their aunt and uncle.

Also, you could bond with Lidia

and dominate the game.

Are you trying to k*ll the babies?

No

Oscar is completely inept

at everything

and he's managed

to keep the twins alive.

[LAUGHS] I'm sorry, inept?

Do you think it's easy

to take care of twins?

No! That's my point!

I need to spook Terry

out of wanting kids.

Also, you're inept

and the kids are still alive.

OSCAR: Okay, I changed my mind.

You can't watch the kids.

I changed my mind, too.

- I'll allow it.

- Oh, great.

But if anything goes wrong,

you will be the one in diapers.

Great!

Ugh, stupid ankle monitor!

Oh, it won't fit in!

Switch sides with me?

KATIE: Nice footwear!

Who designed it, Lori Loughlin?

What do you want, Thirsty?

Oh, you know, just wanted

to see your desperate ploy

to put lipstick on a pig.

There's no way you can handle

an FCBA-worthy event

at the Moonshine.

You can't even manage a clean t-shirt.

RHIAN: Oh! You're just scared

that the Queen's Cups is

gonna urinate all over

your sad, sad legacy.

You better bring a raincoat!

Because I'm gonna out-prez you so hard

that ugly-a*s wig

will be stuck to your toes.

- Yeah!

- Not a wig. Mm-hm.

It's plugs, that I had to

go all the way down to TJ

to get after your family

burned my hair off!

[SIGHS] Enjoy your

last days as Prez, b*tch!

Should have burned the rest off!

LIDIA: Thirsty Katie thinks

lipstick on a pig won't work?

I say we deck out this

oinker in full-length glam.

I have a plan,

but it will require a wardrobe.

Oh God, where's my deluxe,

humidity-controlled

walk-in closet when I need it?

Alright, now is not the time

for one of your humble brags.

[LINE RINGS]

Hey, Daniel.

I need a favour.

[FRENCH POP PLAYING ON RADIO]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[DOOR OPENS]

Special delivery from Daniel Bennett!

Uh, this is some delivery service.

Did we forget to pay the fedex bill?

- I miss the kids.

- Hmm.

Seriously?

Ballgowns for a campground?

If you really wanted to see me,

all you had to do was ask.

Oh, no, you didn't think that

You and me?

- No!

- No!

- God, no!

- Okay!

Just, uh, wanted to get outta

New York in the summertime.

You know what the humidity

does to my hair, just poof!

Yeah.

So, uh, the Moma bathroom

remodel must be happening soon.

Yeah, yeah, any day now.

It's our big project, amongst many.

Marcie and I, we just can't keep up.

Our children's overpriced education

will live to see another day!

Hurray! Yeah!

- Okay, well

- yeah.

Thank you.

- Thanks for bringing these.

- Yeah, of course.

- Yeah, yeah.

- I'm gonna go hang 'em up.

- Viva la couture!

- [LAUGHS]

Happy to help



[MOUTHS WORD] Wow.





Uncle Terry and aunt Nora are here.

We're gonna have the best day,

aren't we, yeah!

OSCAR: You guys sure

you're up for this?

Helicopter parent much?

TERRY: I worked security

at a 24-hour gym.

I'm pretty sure I can

handle these little bugs

for an afternoon.

Hey, are you criticizing

my parenting abilities, too?

You know what?

You're right! You're both pros.

Have fun!

TERRY: Oh, okay!

I gotcha! I gotcha!

- Aww!

- [BABY CRIES]

- Yeah?

- [BABY CRYING]

- Um okay.

- [CRYING CONTINUES]

Shouldn't have done that.

- You take her.

- No.

No, no, no, no, no! No!

- Hi

- [BABY STOPS CRYING]

- I need a smoke.

- What?

- Yeah.

- [BABY STARTS CRYING AGAIN]

Oh Oh, whoa!

[SECOND BABY STARTS CRYING]

[RADIO PLAYING UPBEAT MUSIC

QUIETLY IN BACKGROUND]

Have you got gluten-free fish batter?

Salad?

You're a long way

from salad, my friend.

I think I can help you out, though.

He will have the burger,

with extra lettuce, tomato, and onion.

But you know what?

Hold the bun. And hold the burger.

Salad!

Thanks.

Daniel Bennett.

Wes Lonergan.

Lonergan?

I had a frat buddy

named d*ck Lonergan.

- Any relation?

- Yeah.

That's my father.

No sh*t! Really?

Good, old long dickergan!

Wait a minute, that

that new resort?

- Wesworld? Is that you?

- Yep.

He's lonelier than I thought.

He's trying to make friends

with King d*uche.

So mom and dad,

do you think they're?

I wouldn't bet on it.

Why else would he come

all the way here to hand-deliver

a couple dresses?

Mom may not know it,

but this is a hardcore play

for reconciliation.

Hmm, I dunno.

Do you really want them

to get back together?

For once, mom is making decisions

based on what she wants,

and I thought you'd be down with that.

Poor dad

How does he even survive

without mom telling him

how to behave in public?

["SYMPHONY 40, 1ST MOVEMENT"

BY MOZART PLAYING]















OSCAR: Rhian, is that you?

Who else did you think it was?

- Uh

- Wait

- Did you not recognize me?

- Of course I did!

I-I-I was gawking at you, my love.

- Liar!

- Aah!

You were gawking at

someone you didn't recognize,

- which is the same as cheating!

- I wasn't!

Ah, first rule of being a host:

Curb the spousal abuse.

RHIAN: Thirsty Katie didn't

think I had it in me.

Well, she can kiss my sweet buns!

We formal, biatch.

I meant to say

[SHOUTING] Welcome to

the FCBA summer social!

I'm sorry I'm late.

I was taking my husband to chemo.

Ha-ha-ha, that's crazy!

Nothing brings people

together like death,

and the Queen's Cup is basically like

a thousand ways to die,

so Bob the car dealer

and I are going to be

blonded for life!

I think you mean bonded.

No, I mean

yes, I did, but also blonded,

because in addition to

being business cohorts,

I hooked him up with my

hairdresser and she gave him

- some very sweet frosted tips.

- Oh-h*!

I'm telling you, he literally

won't have a reason

to say no to approve my lease

on the second Crystal Clean van.

That's genius, babe!

You've inspired me.

I, too, will make connections,

manifest growth,

and sell all my

Manthusium product today!

Yes!

Preferably to customers

with neckbeards, gym bros,

friend zone dwellers, gamers,

and anyone wearing

a fedora or man scarf.

That's who my chapter leader,

Alpha Adrian,

says I should be targeting.

Whoa

That manifest stuff really works

Ah, good luck!

I never thought I'd say this, but

I'm really impressed, brother.

You've come a long way.

Good for you.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

You're usually more of a total prick.

I'm just jetlagged.

Well, got low energy?

Have I got the thing for you!

Manthusium's

best-selling Multi-vita-men,

for all your manly needs!

I don't think what I'm going through

can be solved by vitamins.

- DANIEL: Oh

- LIDIA: [IN DISTANCE] Hi!

Look at her.

[SOBBING]

Little buddy, it's okay.

No, it's not!

My life is a mess!

The Moma job,

it fell through.

They said my design

was irrelevant, which is BS.

What does relevance have

to do with a public bathroom?

Even Marcie thinks I'm out of touch.

She

She left me, for some younger guy

who re-creates fast food commercials

from the '80s on the Internet.

He's got 8 million followers!

Thanks.

How am I supposed to

provide for my children?

Finn's school bills are past due.

There's nothing left for Eleanor.

Oh my God,

I just want my old life back!

My career, my family

And my IBS under control!

Hey man, I get it.

I don't know what I'd do

if Crystal left me

for a hotter, more successful,

more ripped biker.

Okay, nobody's more ripped than me

But you could be!



That's really good. What's in it?

Your future!

[TRIBAL DRUMMING]



NORA: Alright, next one's on you.

I had to hose this one down.

It had sh*t all the way

up to its neckrolls.

- Terr?

- I'm here!

- Cool. Where's the baby?

- It's in the basinet.

I was sleeping while the baby sleeps.

The baby is not sleeping!

There is no baby!

I mean, it might be sleeping,

but it's not here.

- Terry!

- Oh my God, oh my God.

We need to call someone!

You're a cop you are the someone!







- [PHONE BUZZING]

- Sorry.

- Yeah?

- Wes?

Hi.

DANIEL: Hey. So, uh

I saw your new business cards.

Oh. Swank, huh?

I think it is great that you're

trying to get back to work,

and I had an idea.

- Lidia?

- Mm-hm?

I'm ready

To bring back the dream team.

You and me.

Partners, 50/50, for real this time.

Uh, can we talk about this later?

And I already have an excellent lead.

My old frat brother, d*ck Lonergan,

did you know that his son is building

the new resort next door?

Now, they probably already

have the bigs locked down,

but you and I together,

we could crush

the ancillary buildings,

fire up the old rolodex;

Before you know it, we're

We're back at it.

I am

Back at it, Daniel.

I'm the bigs! [LAUGHS]

I'm the lead architect

on the Wesworld Project.

[LAUGHS]

You?

Yeah, me.

- Is that so hard to believe?

- No, no, i-i

I mean, yeah!

Yeah, sort of.

The Lonergans, they're major league.

I-I

They don't bring in just anybody!

You still don't think I can

do this on my own, do you?

Running your own firm?

Wow, that takes a lot of work.

There's a whole other

business side to this that

That you just don't have

the experience in, babe,

but I can help you shore up

your relationship with d*ck.

This is gonna come

as a surprise to you,

but I don't need you to introduce me

to your frat buddies

to further my career.

Lidia Finley-Cullen

is doing just fine on her own.



["THE FOUR SEASONS, WINTER"

BY VIVALDI PLAYING]

Nice suit. Who's the guy wearing it?

Perks of owning a lost and found.

This one came with a flask.

Suit was a little dirty,

but the liquor was just dirty enough.

Well, after all that dirty talk

- [BOTH LAUGH]

- You look nice, too.

For a traitor.

You don't actually hate me.

Deep down you're a softie.

You'd miss me if I was gone.

Ha!

Who the hell else have you got now?

Two of your kids

sided with the Lonergans.

[SIGHS]

Best keep the enemy close!





Don't panic!

There's gotta be an explanation!

Unless the baby's on its way

to a satanic cult in Saskatoon.

What were you thinking

volunteering us to babysit?

I wanted to teach you a lesson.

You are the one

that thought this would be

a walk in the park.

It's not so easy, is it?

Okay, well, lesson learned.

I'm a terrible parent

and babies hate me.

[OSCAR WHISTLING]



What's he doing?





That duplicitous little sh*t.

Oscar kidnapped his own baby.

To punish us

for criticizing his parenting.

A mother's rage is one thing,

but the rage of a boozy aunt

is a whole other enchilada



Welcome to the Queen's Cups!

Oscar asked me to cover.

Anyway, here are the events:

Don't drop the crystal, croquet,

cucumber sandwich eatin' mambo,

eveningwear regatta.

It's the Finley-Cullen Olympiad,

but fancy AF!

We classy, b*tches! Woo-hoo!

Good luck.

- [BLOWS TRUMPET]

- [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

RYAN: Feel your anger! Channel it!

Are you gonna let some soggy cucumber

take what's fundamentally yours? No!

You're the hunter!

Everything else is prey!

BRUCE: Chew, chew, chew!

[ROARING]

[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]

SAMMY: You know, I thought

you'd be a lot more comfortable

at garden parties

because you are rich.

You okay?

You've been on your phone

every five seconds.

- You haven't been around.

- It's fine.

I'm taking care of it.



So think about not

dropping the crystal,

as you think about Crystal

Clean's growth potential!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It was just a kiss, Ken.

Don't get your briefs in a bunch.

For once in your life,

can you not be a total dud?!

Yes, dear!

to be our event!

- [BOTH SCREAMING]

[DANIEL AND RYAN YELLING]

CRYSTAL: Are you okay?

- Yeah!

- [CROWD CHEERING]

Ha-ha!

I will fish-sh*t all of you!

Fish-sh*t you all to hell!

Fish-sh*t?

I don't know, it just came out.

And don't blame me,

the stupid gowns were your idea.

Ugh, God.

High fashion may hide

the ankle monitor

but it can't hide the truth.

So, what, that's it?

We're just gonna let

Thirsty Katie win?

Or worse, my condescending ex.

Winning a stupid three-legged race

isn't gonna rehab my reputation.

I don't blame the Lonergans

for not wanting my name attached

to their resort.

Lidia Finley-Cullen is just as

much of a mess as Lidia Bennett.

Yeah, she is.

We dominated

the Queen's Cups every year.

Do you know why?

Because you scared all

the other competitors away?

No, because we were ourselves!

Messes!

Who kicked a*s!

I like who I am.

And even though

I don't like who you are,

I still like what you represent

Mess.

A bony-rumped disaster.

We should never have tried

to class up the Queen's Cups.

The new events are boring.

That gown? Pfft. Boring!

No one has ever been

riveted by a cucumber.

Depends on the size of the cucumber.

Wanna re-brand?

We get back to basics.

You show the Lonergans

who we really are.

- Fearless.

- Yeah.

Authentic.

But most of all

Fun!

Let's wipe the lipstick off this pig.

The sisters Finley-Cullen

are getting down and dirty!

- Yes!

- Yes, yes, yes!

Yes!

[SNEAKY MUSIC]













TERRY: [IN A WHISPER] Hey. Hey, buddy.

NORA: [IN A WHISPER] Terr, you did it!

The baby's not crying.

- We're doin' something right.

- Oh, yeah.

Holy crap, I'm doing it!

[BABY BABBLES]

OSCAR: Help! Help!

Someone stole my child!

Someone stole my baby!

Have you guys seen a baby?

Put him out of his misery.

[SIGHS]

Ah, 30 more seconds?

[BABY BABBLES]



Oh, you

Terry and Nora

[MUTTERING TO HIMSELF]

You know, you know, it takes

a couple of sadistic lunatics

to steal someone's baby.

You did the same thing to us, dipshit.

But you guys deserved it,

mocking my parenting skills,

when Terry couldn't keep his

eyes open for a couple of hours?

I haven't slept in four months.

I'm sorry, Oscar.

- We've learned our lesson.

- Yeah.

You have learned your lesson.

And as punishment,

you're going to resume

your babysitting duties.

- Bye!

- Ha.

- Wait, what?

- Ugh.

Okay, well, you take stinky.

[BABY FARTS]

Time for the final battle!

A Finley-Cullen original:

Everyone get drunk and beat

the crap out of each other!

[CROWD CHEERING]



BRUCE: Chug, chug, chug!

CROWD: [CHANTING]

Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug



Yes!

[SCREAMING]

[ROARING]



MAN: Feel better, Bobby!

I have to say, Bob,

the neck brace really brings out

the blond in your tips!

I hope you feel better

and I'll be in on Monday

to sign that lease!

You were such a great partner!

MAN: Oh, man!

Dominate or die.

Earn your place in Valhalla!

[ROARING]

Oh, I think I'm gonna barf.

Burp. Trust me.

[INTRO TO "CRAZY ON YOU"

BY HEART PLAYING]

[LOUD BURP]

Great, good. Better?

Yeah!

Okay, now go execute your ex.



BRUCE: On your Mark

Nice form, sis.

Cram it!

BRUCE: And

[BLOWS TRUMPET]

Let's settle this, mano e womano!

I will destroy you!

Destroy me?

Please, I could cream you blindfolded.

Oh, yeah, you wanna go blindfolded?

Yeah, you bet I do.

A bonus,

I don't have to look

at that butt you call a face

while I kick your a*s!

["CRAZY ON YOU" BY HEART PLAYING]

Oh!

Okay, she's straight ahead. Straight.

Charge!

[SCREAMING]

Go, come on!

RHIAN: Yes, turn around! Right, right!

DANIEL: Is this the thanks I get

for making your career?

[LAUGHS] Making my career?!

Just because you were my TA?

You took credit for all my ideas!

- RYAN: Come on, get angry!

- RHIAN: Yes, to your right!

That's why our marriage never worked!

DANIEL: Our marriage never worked

because you never worked on it!

- RHIAN: Come on!

- But that's fine!

Because now it's me

that wants a divorce!

The sooner, the better!

Giddy-up, blondie!

LIDIA: Ugh, God!

I wish your dysfunction

ended at erectile!

RYAN: Dan, duck!

RHIAN: Yes! Let's go, bony rump, woo!

DANIEL: And you know what?

That Wesworld contract

you just signed,

half of that fee is mine!

- RHIAN: Duck!

- You better have a good lawyer!

You come for the queen,

you'd best not miss, babe!

- [LOUD THWACK]

- Ow!

RYAN: Oh! She's down!

- LIDIA: [LAUGHS]

- RHIAN: Lidia!

LIDIA: Rhian! Are you okay?

Come on, you can get her! Come on!

- [CANS CRUNCH]

- [ROARING]

Let me go crazy on you ♪

crazy on you ♪

- LIDIA: Ugh

- [CROWD MURMURING]



[CROWD MURMURING]



- [LIDIA SIGHING]

- Okay?

[CAMERA FLASHES]

RHIAN: Oh, oh, I'm sorry!

You wanna gawk?

Snicker?

Then you better know

who you're dealing with, okay?

This is Lidia Finley-Cullen!

My sister!

And CEO of her own architecture firm!

You may think she's crazy,

a felon

And you're right.

She's also committed federal,

provincial, municipal,

and ethical crimes,

but, I mean, who here hasn't?

CROWD: Me. Me

Me, I'm not

Okay, fine.

But you know what?

It's only made her stronger.

This woman is a fighter.

Yeah, a rabid mole rat

who will destroy anything

that tries to hurt our family.

And as President of the FCBA

and host of this year's Queen's Cups,

I demand you all

Bow down!



Heh!

[SLOW CLAPPING]

CROWD: Yup okay! Alright!

[APPLAUSE]

[PEOPLE CALLING OUT]

[CHEERING]

Wow.

That's crazy.

Oh, Rhian!

Oh!

That was

Other than the mole rat part,

really eloquent.

This feels like a victory.

And if the Lonergans don't like it,

they can kiss my bony rump!

[QUIETLY] Ryan and Daniel

are on bovine steroids,

which means they cheated,

and I will prove it,

but until then

[LOUDLY] a round

of begrudging applause

for Ryan and Daniel,

winners of this year's Queen's Cups!

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

RYAN: Woo!

Woo-ah!



Well, I think we learned a lot today.

Actually, yeah.

It wasn't the absolute nightmare

I thought it was gonna be, so

Oh, is that so?

Well, the little monsters

are sort of cute.

And that baby smell?

I'd snort that shizz

in a bathroom all night.

Well, that's kind of

a weird way to say

that you don't totally hate kids,

but I'll take it.

- And it calls for a toast.

- Yeah.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Hello?

RECEPTIONIST: [PHONE] Hello, Nora.

This is Dr. Wicken's office.

The doctor would like you

to come in to [FADES OUT]







SAMMY: Thanks for staying?

I know my family's nuts,

but, uh, you really hung in.

Your family has nothing on mine.

- [TEXT NOTIFICATIONS]

- Mm-hm!

Well, you should tell that to Lidia.

All this, just

An attempt to impress your dad.

God

What?

No

Okay, seriously, it's time to spill.

What's going on with you?

Look, we have a good thing going.

I-I don't want to ruin it.

Keeping secrets

is what's gonna ruin it.

You and I said we'd be honest

with each other from now on.

Okay.

Alright, just keep in mind

there's a difference between

a person and their family business.

Wes, just say it.

Hey, guys.

Everything okay?

b*mb's about to be dropped!

As our resident weapons expert,

what the hell are you talking about?

Not my news to share.

Wes, would you like to do the honours?

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

Look, the ethos of a resort

existing within nature,

Lidia's core design concept,

was something that my

father really connected to.

RHIAN: The point. Get to it.

Is this about to pivot?

Oh God, this is about to pivot.

My father wants more nature,

more space, okay?

An unobstructed

360-degree view from every room.

He's bulldozing the Moonshine.

[GIGGLES]

He's powerful and rich

and knows you don't have a deed.

SAMMY: You said

That you would do everything

to make sure that the Moonshine

and the new resort could co-exist.

Actually, you said that, I just

- I just nodded.

- What?!

RHIAN: You can't do that.

He doesn't own it.

It doesn't matter.

He's done it a million times.

It's how he does business.

Okay, let's just take a beat.

I'm sure we can find another way.

I can come up with

some creative solutions.

You can?

'Cause what happened to

"working the resort

"from the inside will

protect the Moonshine"?

That "my design is

the best of both worlds"?

Well, Wes mentioned

there would be some changes,

but we didn't talk specifics.

Rhian, I didn't know any

of this was going on, I swear!

I'm just as shocked as you are.

Rhian
