01x04 - It's Complicated

[bunniefuu]

Standing up, sitting down, in the shower.

Since Leo's mother's been here,
we've been banging all we want.

And?

Are you curious about how Samu will react
when you tell him about the next game?

We're just going for a coffee.

And "getting coffee"
is never used as a pretext for screwing.

Sorry. Hey.

Have I ever told you
how much I love handball Tuesdays?

Every week.

Hey!

Hi.

Latte macchiato with extra hazelnut.

What?

And is your order still
a hot chocolate with cream?

Some things never change.

And some things do.

Paul and I want to play again.

I've been invited
to do a residency in Ibiza.

Okay.

And when would that start?

Next week. Someone else dropped out.

You don't seem
especially happy about that.

I don't know.

I feel like I've just got settled here.

Now it's like, back into the gilded cage.

What if you had a reason to stay?

Such as?

What? No! We'll find another solution.

Let's just say
that the jingle is polarizing.

That's a good thing.

Good. So three new songs, tomorrow. Bye.

f*ck.

I think you need to find another way
of dealing with your stress.

Like not drinking three coffees…

And did you have
four of these shakes?

Chocolate ice cream?

I think I have a good idea for your ad.

-Really?
-Yes.

-The jingle is the problem, right?
-They hate them all.

Great.

I think we know
just the right person for this.

I'm sure Samu would
really love to help you out.

Anna, Samu makes cheesy pop songs.

This is a commercial.
This needs a composer.

This is something totally different.

Okay, I was just trying to help.

"Happy to do you a favor, bro."

Look, Samu is a really successful DJ.

-He's our friend.
-He's not my friend.

So turn him down then.

"Thanks for your offer, bro."

"Turns out, I don't need your help."

"Winky face,
eggplant, eggplant, kiss emoji."

Send.

I have folic acid, selenium, iron,

calcium and two kinds of probiotics.

Are you meditating?

Pelvic floor yoga.
I figured, you can't start too early.

You think I'm being silly?

Not at all.

Valentin.

The whole thing does scare me a little.

You will…

get up, even though you're a sleepyhead.

You will listen,
even when you don't have a solution.

And you will…

You will not run away
when it gets difficult.

No way.

I have another one.

Oh no, no. Please, no.

No bandwagon jumping.

Okay.

What about classical music?

I feel like
you don't understand the concept.

But I can do something better.

-If you don't like the commercial…
-No.

The music, it's just too…

-Uninspired.
-Yes.

I want something catchy.
I want to fall in love.

Tell me, Paul, are you maybe

a bit too old
and don't get what we're looking for?

-I'm 36.
-It's okay.

It's okay, we know. We see you, Paul.

But we are getting the feeling

that going forward
we'd like to work with someone

who understands us better than you do.

-So, thanks, Paul.
-Thanks.

Do you know Samu Meyer?

The DJ?

From Ibiza?

My sister saw him in Bali, he was insane.

-Slay.
-I think I love him.

But isn't he, like, super hard to get?

No, not at all. We are friends.

Paul.

-All right.
-Yeah.

It's great
that you and Samu can stick around longer.

-Totally.
-I think so too.

But I am wondering
why he wants to do commercials now.

I think it's fantastic.

Well then, I'd say,
here's to another round of the game.

Yeah, Valentin and I talked about it,

and I think we'll sit this round out.

-What?
-Why?

We feel like it isn't

going in the direction that we want.

Hold on, back up.
Just what direction is that?

Baby direction?

-We want to try.
-Oh, amazing.

Oh, God, I'm sorry.
Have we wrecked the game?

-Because then you're just three couples.
-No.

It'll just be a little bit more…

-intimate.
-Intimate?

It's practically monogamy.

I have more fun
at home with my clitoris pump, anyway.

Oh, sorry. Am I not allowed
to say "clitoris pump" either?

Sure, sure.

We could always expand the circle.

Perfect.

Or not?

It's your decision.
I don't want to pressure anybody here.

Well, I sure am ready for a big group.

Yes.

Well, then.

To a new round of the game.

-Hey, cheers.
-Cheers.

That has got to be the best idea since

the one I had today.

Sit down.

Oh, my God!

Leonardo.

Are you wearing my underwear?

Leo, that is haute couture.

Do you know how expensive it was?

Just ask yourself
what's more important to you.

I squeezed myself into this
to make you happy.

Forget it.

It's okay.

You like it? Or not?

Maybe.

Ouch.

Your safe word is "haute couture."

I thought we'd be waking up
to the sound of the waves again.

It's okay.
We wanted to relax a little too.

And make songs for commercials.

Well, then…

Then I'm excited about your first
advertising job, Meyer.

Your friends want to play another round.
But this time with more people.

One dropped out.
Otherwise we'd be down to three couples.

Who dropped out?

VALENTIN
I'll pick you up, be right there.

Mrs. Veerhoven, please.

Yes.

Hi.

Thank you for coming.

Sorry again about the message.
I mean, my reply…

No problem.

I've listened to some of your stuff.

It's really got something.

-It's okay, you don't have to say that.
-I'm not just saying it.

-What else do you listen to?
-American indie.

-Distorted guitars and angst.
-Yeah.

I really like it.

I get that. I like it.

So, they like the visuals,

but they insist that they want
a "generational anthem."

Max Shroom

So, first of all…

I think it's great.

-Really?
-Yeah, I wouldn't mind a shake like that.

I'd advise against it.

They almost certainly give you
extreme diarrhea.

Okay, I have an idea.

We need a simple, driving beat.

Two-part bass.

Let's see. Just a second.

Like that. And now…

Okay…

Or something like that?

-That's too simple, isn't it?
-No, it's great.

Max Shroom! Or something.

Yeah, brilliant, that's it.
That kind of thing.

Hi.

Hi.

What a coincidence.

I work around the corner. How about you?

I…

I don't.

There's a party at Jon's bar tomorrow.

You going?

I don't have the time. I can't.

Well, then…

maybe a coffee?

Sorry, I am meeting someone.

I see.

I thought it was worth a try.

-I'll see you.
-Valentin.

Sebastian.

@seboptimal01.

In case you change your mind.

Seboptimal.

It was a cool username 15 years ago.

Now…

Hi, honey.

-Hey.
-Sorry, it took a bit longer.

-No problem.
-Ice cream?

For sure.

Yeah!

I am invincible.

Yeah!

SEARCH

It's just not your day.

-You're really on a roll today.
-Yeah.

Samu's jingle is great.

-It's cool that you're okay with him.
-Yeah.

And now he's beaming about it.

Valentin, come on. You scared?

You want to just watch or to play?

Hey!

-No!
-Yes. Yeah!

Hi, Mom, family dinner sounds great

but I'm staying with Claudio
and I'm eating there.

Oh, Mom, can you pick me up after?

Sorry!

It's great that you're staying…
Looking forward to the next game.

-Hey.
-Hey.

I've got an idea for a bridge.
Is this a bad time?

-No, it's great. Yes, come in.
-Cool.

-Hey!
-How was basketball?

I was really flexing today.
You should come next time.

-You want to come to the gym with me?
-No…

Has someone gone against my instructions?

I wonder if you'd like--

Bella, where are your pants?

-I thought you had a date!
-It was canceled.

No!

Oh, no, Mrs. Cuarez,
I'm so terribly sorry.

I've been looking for those documents,
and lost my pants.

Leonardo.

Mom.

Did Samu leave already?

Yeah.

-Hey, are you drinking…
-Coconut water.

Good for stress, and tasty.

Can you pick up Mica later?

She's eating at Claudio's.

I'm going to the sauna tonight.

Today's okay, tomorrow's bad.

Okay.

Samu wants to get us two tickets
for Donny Slade.

For you two?

Yeah.

-What is that?
-Singer-songwriter, indie.

I guess you haven't heard of him.

Turns out we have an awful lot in common.

-Yeah.
-You don't like Samu.

I underestimated him. It happens.

It's a shame.
We could have been friends back at school.

You were right.

Oh, man, it's such a tough decision.

How did you do it back then?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember.

Emma?

Emma's cute.

But I was thinking of a little boy. Yeah.

Anna.

Or Emil?

But what about Mica?

A little boy. Mica and Mica. Funny.

SEBASTIAN
Valentin! It was great to see you.

Let me know if you want to speak later.

Hey.

Is everything okay? You seem so stressed.

You know what would do you good?

If we have a baby, then…

you can take parental leave,

and it'll be just the three of us,
and you can finally relax.

I gotta head back out.

Business dinner.

Should I come along?

I'd rather spare you. It'll be boring.

Don't you have your…

night at the sauna?

Tomorrow then.

It'd be really nice
if you could be home tomorrow night, okay?

Well…

I see. Yeah, sure.

I'll keep free.

I promise.

Okay.

GYNECOLOGIST DR. PARKER

Veerhoven.

-You're going soft again.
-I can't help it.

I keep thinking
my mother's about to come in.

Oh, God, now I do, too.

If it had only been your mother.

Now I'm out too.

What do we do now?

We can't send her away.

She's making our lives so much easier.

The garage.
She doesn't go into the garage.

But she might.

She's everywhere because she's in my head.

She could be anywhere. She's so damn…

…quiet.

-Dinner's ready!
-Yeah!

sh*t.

-And it smells so good.
-Damn good.

-We're coming!
-We're coming!

I'll be at the bar in half an hour.

I'm heading out, darling.

Julie?

Hey, what's up?

We won't be having any babies.

ANNA
Couldn't reach you. I'm heading in.

Sorry, sex crisis. I'm not in the mood.

Samu?

Anna?

What…

It was recommended to me.

Okay.

Here.

How's it going with the commercial?

Good. Good, yeah, it…

Thanks again.

Oh, yeah, sure. No problem.

How many people do you think
will come to the next game?

Don't worry, there'll be plenty of choice.

Maybe I don't want any choice at all.

I think I'm gonna head out.

Anna!

Yes?

It was nice seeing you.

That's mine, by the way.

I was in town today,
and I bought myself a little something.

It's in the front compartment.

I'll see you at the next game.
