05x03 - About Damn Time

[bunniefuu]

Davia and I have an
announcement to make.

- We're in love.
- To Denvia!

ALL: To Denvia!

Elliot is really doing
great with his schoolwork,

but the goal should be
getting Elliot back in school.

[BOX CLATTERS]

I'm not going back to school.

- You a dancer?
- I wanna be.

I was wondering if I could
do some work around the studio

in exchange for some classes.

Yeah, man, that's cool.

I think we could work something out.

How would you like to be my
new Deputy Policy Director?

I would love to accept the position

if I could maintain a work-life balance.

I absolutely understand.

Lucia's promoting me.

Seriously?

I adopted a pet turtle.

Turtles are often marketed
as low-maintenance pets,

but the truth is they need special care

and a lot of room to grow.

MARIANA: I'm responsible for
him fighting for his life.

I'm Jerome Martin, Evan's attorney.

As of today, you are the acting
interim CEO of Speckulate.

Mariana, I'm Evan's Chief
Communications Officer.

The company is under
contractual obligation

to give you days as interim CEO.

After that, the Board will
initiate a vote of no confidence.

And if the majority thinks

you're unfit to run the company,

you're out.

Good luck.

Really?

We just made beautiful,
visceral, steamy love,

and you're gonna be on your phone?

We just cuddled for five full minutes.

- Sorry.
- Mm.

I just needed to check on a place

to park the Toast Truck today.

It's okay. How is business?

It's fine. There's a limit
to how much money you can make

with a food truck.

I am working on another
stream of revenue.

Like what?

This and that.

What's your day like today?

I am actually getting lunch

with an old friend
from my New York days.

You don't sound very excited about it.

Well, you know, we used to be close,

like struggling artists together.

Mmm.

And then he did something
that really let me down.

Uh-huh, what'd he do?

He was always distracted,

half-listening, texting on his phone.

Hmm.

- Sorry.
- Mm-hmm.

So this old friend,

why have lunch with
him if he let you down?

I don't know, we were
best friends, you know?

Mmm.

Maybe he wants to make amends.

Yeah, maybe.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

You are a busy bee
with all your "this and that" ventures.

Do you really need to answer that now?

No.

No, I do not. I need to kiss you.

- Nice save.
- Right?

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Good morning.

For those of you who don't know me,

I'm Mariana Adams Foster.

I worked with some of you
when I was a team leader here.

And I'm stepping up as
interim CEO at Speckulate

until Evan can get back on his feet

and... takes back the reins.

Hopefully, sooner than later.

So I would love to get
some status updates.

Um, Red Team, where are you with...

Uh, actually, our Blue Team VPs

have got some interesting market
research I think we should start with.

Their new app should be
a big moneymaker for us.

Right, Troy? Vince? Nasser?

- Big payday!
- Beaucoup bucks!

[IMITATING DONALD Tr*mp] Gonna be huge!

Sounds great. Can't wait
to see the beta test.

Now back to Red Team.

Uh, yes.

Yeah, I wanted to ask about the rumors.

The less you divulge to anyone

regarding the sh**ting
and your involvement,

the better.

About layoffs.

Are those actually coming?

I got it. Uh, hey, guys,

don't listen to rumors.

Remember, rumors are carried by haters,

spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.

Do you have any other
questions for Mariana?

TROY: Um, yeah, I have one.

Is it true you were
involved in Evan's sh**ting?

Wasn't the b*llet meant for you?

Why did Evan make you his proxy?

Weren't you sleeping with him?

Did you get him sh*t so you
could take over Speckulate?

Didn't you and your Bulk
Beauty friends sue him?

Yeah.

What about Bulk Beauty?

Are you just bailing on us?

Who's feeding my turtle?

Donatello!

DYLAN: Remember, rumors
are carried by haters,

spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.

Now, does anyone have any
more questions for Mariana?

No? Okay. Back on Blue Team.

Get into your places.

- Mmm. That part.

Not to mention all those dollar bills

those old ladies were throwing at you.

Which you stole from me.

Okay, I literally needed rent money.

Right? We were so broke,
but we were so cute.

Oh, this is so much fun.

I'm so glad you called.
How long are you in town for?

A few months.

I'm workshopping a new musical I wrote.

Amazing! Congratulations!

I'm really sorry I didn't
make it out to New York

to see your last one,
but the reviews were great.

Sounds like it went really well.

Yeah. For an off-Broadway.

Hoping to get on Broadway with this one.

Well, I'm sure you will.
You are so talented.

- So are you.
- Mmm.

Do you ever wonder what might've been

if you stayed in New York,

toughed it out?

Okay, it was a lot
easier for you than me.

You had the gay mafia.

I admit I had a lot of mentors.

O-kay, if that's what
you wanna call them.

You are still a bad bitch.

Yes. I am.

- And I love it.
- Mmm.

Well, bad bitch,

I have an ulterior
motive for this lunch.

I want you to play
the lead in my musical.

After the workshop, we open
at the Pasadena Playhouse,

and then if we can get enough investors,

taking it to Broadway.

And I wrote the part
specifically for you.

- Get out.
- Swear!

It's about a woman

who spends the night
before her wedding at a bar,

wondering if she's
making the right choice

or the safe choice by
marrying her fiancé,

all while she flirts
with the hot bartender.

And you're the only

I had my assistant go over to
Evan's apartment to pick him up.

Hmm.

So I... I could feed him.

Ah. Okay.

Uh, anyway, I white-lied to the troops.

We actually do have to make
cuts to the staff in prep for the IPO.

I emailed you a list of
lower levels we can lay off.

- I'll do the laying off.

All you need to do is approve it as CEO.

Okay, well, I would love

Good. So good!

Great job. Great job.

Ethan played a song
for me from the show.

It's really good.

I mean, I have no doubt he's
gonna make it to Broadway.

And he told me that he
wrote the part for me.

So what're you thinking?

I'm thinking that I
don't know if I'm ready

to dive back in again.

What was it about your year in New York

that turned you so off?

Well, the theater world
is just so hard on women.

I was constantly told
to lose weight, you know,

that my point of view didn't matter.

Just to "stand there,
sing this, and shut up."

It sounds pretty harsh.

It just played on
every insecurity I had,

every criticism my mother made of me.

It took the joy out
of something I loved.

I had to leave. Otherwise,
the small sliver of self-esteem I had

would've been eviscerated.

I'm sorry you went through that.

But you're not the same
person you were then.

I know.

I don't know, I wouldn't have
time to homeschool Elliot.

I wouldn't be able to renew my
contract with Teach For America.

Teaching's been really fulfilling.

I don't know if I'm
ready to give that up.

I guess the question is

what you're most passionate about.

Now that you're stronger,

is Broadway still your dream?

You are so talented.

If there's any part of you
that's wondering "what if,"

then I'd say,

don't put off your dream to tomorrow.

Be brave and go for it.

DENNIS: Hey.

Yeah.

Malika, could you do some
research on tenant numbers

Yeah, of course.

Uh, but I have plans with my brother.

Can it wait until tomorrow morning?

Sure. That's fine.

Okay. I'll get to it first thing.

See you tomorrow. Thank you.

It's seven o'clock.

I'm teasing. Have a good night.

Could you do research

mind. Malika had to go.

I'd like it by end of day.

[DEVICE BEEPING STEADILY]

Maybe I should just tell
everyone at Speckulate

the truth about what happened.

That this is all my fault.

I know people are gossiping

and Dylan's sniffing around.

Maybe it's best I just come clean.

If people know you were
involved in my sh**ting,

imagine the gossip then.

It would undermine your authority.

What you need to do is make a bold move

and prove you're the boss.

Get them talking about something else.

Like laying people off?

Yeah, that'll get them
talking, all right.

About how much they hate me.

You'll think of something, Mariana.

You always do.

I'm so afraid to fail you.

I'm not mad.

It's just, I've been here

I hear she's a nightmare.

BRAYDEN: I can confirm.
I did a show with her.

You did? Wow.

Well, good for you for surviving.

And I wrote the part
specifically for you.

I wanna hear all the
behind-the-scenes dirt.

Like, does she really require
a specific brand of water

in her dressing room?

DENNIS: And I am telling you, Ranjit,

the Downtown LA
restaurant scene is on fire.

People are craving community again.

Spaces to eat and drink and connect
with old friends and make new ones.

And this space is
extraordinarily unique.

There is nothing else
like this around here.

Community and craving?

You've gotten a little soft

since business school there, Cooper.

This is a solid concept.

I already have a spec menu,
and if you'll turn to page ,

you can see the business plan.

It's all there.

You wanna know what I invest in?

People. And passion.

You have clearly got that.
And I believe in you. I always have.

Now, life threw you a
curveball when you lost Jacob.

It turned your life upside down.

But you were always great at business.

And you are gonna be great with this.

It's a no-brainer. Yeah, let's do it.

- Really?
- Yeah, man.

What are your startup costs? Hit me.

For K, I could have it up and
running through the first quarter.

All right. And I would expect
a % return on my money

- by the end of the second quarter.
- That sounds fair.

And I'd want % ownership
of the restaurant.

Twenty-five is a bit high. How about ?

Okay. Okay. See? Mr.
Cooper, the businessman.

- [RAPS TABLE]
- Done.

Email me your bank info,
I'll transfer the funds today.

- I'll have my office draw up the contract.
- MAN: [KNOCKING ON GATE] Hello?

- I got your delivery.
- Hmm.

Thanks. That's, uh... That's for me.

Just some paperwork for another deal.

- Had them drop it off here.
- No problem.

- You parked out back?
- Yeah.

All right. Let me walk you out.

Ranjit, this is amazing. Thank you.

And I won't let you down.

I know you won't.

[SOFTLY] Yes!

You trusted your

You should've seen the

You would've loved it.

Hi, I'm Dr. Park.

- Are you Mariana?
- Yes.

Um, how much longer

does he have to be in this coma?

Well, there's still swelling
in his brain and spine.

His spine?

The b*llet nicked it. He needs surgery.

The longer we wait, the greater chance

he'll be paralyzed from the waist down.

Well, then you should do it, right?

No surgery is without risk.

And in his condition,
the risks are much higher.

We can't guarantee
he'll come through it.

So... who decides what to do?

His sister said she
didn't wanna make the call.

So according to his advanced
health care directive,

the decision falls to his
second choice, which is you.

Me?

Can you come see me?
