02x05 - Sort of Amsterdam

[bunniefuu]

Izzy?

Yes it Izzy, what's going on?

What are you doing here?

Hello Dad.

Imran: Why does everyone
keep things from me?

Sabi: 'Cause we're
like afraid of you.

Imran: You're trying to
turn this house into a circus.

Orange walls, untamed children.

You know, when I woke up
for a second

I saw Paul and I was like,

I married a dude?

I'm leaving.

Leaving Paul?

You already told me that.

Bessy:
No, here. The facility.

Sabi: It's just that, like,
you can't even walk.

You know what else is behind me?

The business that I
spent twenty years building,

so you all need to get over
it and start your own dreams!

Bryce: So you
wanna reboot Bar Bk

as a dance club
slash art gallery?

And we have interest
from another investor

in the art world.

Byeeeeeee!
- Don't byeeee me-

Are we gonna do this?

Ugh.

[laptop chimes]

Gaia, how are the Netherlands?

When did you arrive?

Yesterday, two weeks ago,

the future?

Time has no meaning anymore.

[laughs] You're hilarious.

[gasps] Yay! Jay, oh!

Gaia, meet Jay.

Jay, I hear you are taking
us out of the Dark Ages.

Jay:
Oh, you know it.

Hey, so, small world.

I was recently working
with this Toronto artist

who knows your offspring?

Is her name like, uh, Six?

7ven.

Said she was a force.

She tapped us some
fresh a*s artists.

I'd love to meet her.

Right.

So, yeah, anyways,
I've basically been focusing

on artists in the digital field,

and good news,

Benz Ramirez is
officially on board

for the collab with Fiat.

Whaaat?

Jay is spearheading
an NFT series

between Ramirez and Lil Nas X.

Could you expose Jay to
the scene in Toronto, Gaia?

Ooh, maybe 7ven could help!

Go get 'em, guys!

All! Y'all! You two!

Can I just say,

everything you've done for the
arts over the last fifty years-

Fifty?!

Child, how old do
you think I am?

Oh.

Sorry, I dunno.

Everyone over forty is the
same to me [laughs] you know?

Right, right.

Well, uh, Imma send
you a list of contacts

you can start working
on right away, Jay.

And welcome to the team.

[Jay giggles]

Gaia:
f*cking young people.

There's only one occasion

to appreciate our
Canadian alt-rock of yore,

cottage muthafuckin' weekend!

Like my rental?

Ah, yeah, um, it just
kinda feels like

we're getting in the
middle of something,

don't you think?

Jobs have days off, Sabi.

Chill, union leader,

I'm on the phone with Wolf.

He just found us a
space for Bar Bük

and we might get it
for dirty cheap.

As you were.

Sabi:
Thank you. Okay.

Pre-loaded Arrow's
stuff last night.

Hold on.
Arrow's coming?

Ah, King, I thought
this was royals only.

Sabi, there's two
faces to relaxation.

Time with friends.

Getting railed while lakeside.

Right, and what was
I supposed to do

while you're going
all Animal Planet?

Um, hey Wolf, uh, what are
you doing this weekend?

Yeah, if you're free,

uh, we're kinda doing something.

7ven's got this cottage.

[softly] Hey, babe.

[Bessy snorts]

Oh sh*t.
What time is it?

What?

Nothing.
What-what's up?

What are you doing home?

No, I'm going now.
I'm gonna do a shop.

Uh, you want anything specific?

No, I'm good. Go.

Okay.

Sorry, it's just I
rarely get alone time.

You gonna be okay?

Yes, please, just go.
- Okay.

I'm dying of people.

Sabi:
Yes, |-I understand.

I'm just wondering
what your relationship

to the owner of the building is.

Hey babe, can we chill
on the cheugy dad music?

Ya hunni.
Daddy got you.

Arrow:
Okay.

Are you gonna be on much longer?

It's a business call.

Yes, I-I-I just don't want
it to bite us in the a*s.

Arrow:
Hey, Insta-Cupids,

it's your babe, Arrow.

Ahhhh!

Um, okay.

Okay, um, I should go.

Thank you,
I'll-I'll be in touch.

I am here with my
boo and her crew.

They're a bit sketch.

Well, that's why we're
getting it so cheap.

Arrow: On our
way to the cottage!

Heeeey!

Where we going, by the way?

The cot-tage!
—Cottage!

But, like, where?

Who owns it?
Nearest hospital?

Muskoka.
Belongs to my folks.

Didn't it used to belong
to Alanis Morissette?

Or that guy from Shrek?

So, like, these two
are our total besties,

Sabi and Woof.

Yay!

How long have you
two been together?

Oh, um, [laughs]

we're just like
fully colleagues.

Y'all work at Bar Bük, nah?

What are y'alls job titles?

Um, officially, I dunno.

I guess I'm like a manager?

I share the same blood
as the proprietor.

[quietly] Sometimes I don't
understand him when he talks.

IMO, y'all really shouldn't
let the bar go under.

It is like legendary

and the community
really needs it.

[gasps] Ooh! We can
totally do a signal boost

if y'all wanna like, pay for it.

Oh my God,
that's, like, so generous.

Hey.

Sorry, I just keep
falling asleep today.

How did you get in here?

I used the key-rock
you told me to.

Oh, right.
Thank you for coming.

No problem.

What happened?

[dramatic gaming music]

Where's my headset?

[muffled chatter]

Bessy: Yeah, I'm
really, I'm really lucky.

Jill: So, how is your,
uh, your recovery?

Bessy: Apparently
I'm doing really well.

Jill:
Seems like it.

I reached out a
couple years ago.

I thought, you know, if-

Yeah, I know.

I felt like I was ready to-

Yeah, I-I-I didn't.

Well, wait, you weren't ready?

I mean, you're the one
who broke my heart.

Mom?!

Raffo:
Imran, get up!

Mom, what's going on?

Raffo:
Your father is drunk!

Aqsa: He's what?
—-Aqsaaa.

He's drunk? Oh my God,
why is he?

I had several beverages.

I didn't know what else to do.

I haven't even touched
alcohol in my life.

So you called me?

What am I gonna do?

Of course I drank.

With this family of liars.

A wife who doesn't
tell me the truth.

A brother who lies
to me about my son.

Ajon, Sabi is not my business.

You shut up!

[tense electronic music]

Imran:
My son.

My son.

7ven: My mom's like

She's in Europe or
something right now.

Get ready for the most
relaxingest weekend

of your lives.

Oh yeah!

We're gonna partay! [laughs]

Ma?

Whoo!

What the -

[Gaia giggles]

Gaia: You gonna introduce
me to your friends?

[disappointed] Yeah.

Hiya, Gaia.

Hi!

I thought you were supposed
to be in Amsterdam.

Oh I am, honey.

Just don't tell the
people who pay me.

You're wearing too many
patterns, baby girl.

I need to pee.

Sabi?

Hi!
- Hey.

Gaia: Hello!
—Hi, I'm Arrow.

Hi Arrow.

Arrow:
Hi, this is Woof.

Gaia:
Hi Woof!

You're a cutie.

Oh, really?

Jill: Why did you
wanna see me, Bessy?

Bessy:
Okay, it's weird.

I felt like I died

and then I came back

and then you were one
of the first people

that I wanted to see.

What was that like
being in a coma?

Oh, I-I don't remember much.

I mean, I heard conversations

and, um, I was sort of
reliving, uh, stuff,

but I wasn't really sure
what was real or not.

And then I woke up
and I was like,

I saw that this was my life

and I just really, really
need to ask you a question.

So they let you leave work
because your father is drunk?

Mom said it's an emergency.

I didn't know what it was.

You're a good daughter,
you know that?

Am I?

Oh yes.

If I had a daughter like you...

That's sweet, uncle.

And I want to tell you,
I see how it is.

I see what you do here,

and yet, it's always
all about Sabi.

I should go.

7ven:
This isn't an accident.

She's crashing my sh*t again.

I get it.

7ven:
She's competitive with me.

She gets in there, Sabi.

She seeps into my life
in this messed up way,

steals my essence.

Remember Prom Theft 20147

She was a chaperone,
got drunker than we did,

was eating face with
the limo driver?

That was horrible.

But also a little bit fun.

Sorry.

Listen, if you wanna bail-

No, Arrow's so stoked
for this cottage weekend.

And I have to grow the
eff up at some point.

And learn to handle my mother.

This has jets, yeah?

I can't just cancel our plans
because my mommy's here.

Oh my God,
those are totally jets.

Sabi, just focus.

I have hot tub weakness, sorry.

7ven:
Ugh.

There isn't one outside,
is there?

Sabi!
- Okay.

Options:

We go. Period.

Or we stay.

And you like have a chance at
letting her not get to you.

Do you believe in me?

Always.

Stay.

Awesome.

Let's go deal with mommy.

Okay.

Come on.

Exposure therapy time.

Bye, tub.

Arrow:
That's insane!

No, shh, listen,
this is the best part.

So then I said, Andy,
you've been here 15 minutes.

I believe your time is up!

That's funny cuz
Andy's a ridic name!

No, because it's Andy Warhol.

And?

Never mind.

It wasn't even him though
so not that good a story.

Yo, you didn't tell me your
mom is, like, total fire.

She's a force.

Who wants a tour?

Oh yes.
- Yes, come!

Gaia: Wait till you
see my crib, yo!

Arrow: Oh my God,
look at it in here!

Look at the size of that TV!

[gasps] Oh my lord,
who is this babe?

Oh, that's my little girl.

Such a beautiful girl.

She was such a girly girl.

[Arrow giggles]

Gaia:
I miss my principessa.

Wow, Gaia, great, like, art.

Gaia:
Oh, well, come.

Doesn't this one just move you?

It's Untitled #87.
Dawn Macknel.

I just had to have it.

It is a celebration
of human endurance.

Seriously?

I mean, I respect that
you have feelings about it

that are such as they are.

But I invite you to
look at the work.

Look at it.

Like, really look at it.
- Oh, yeah.

It's so dark.

Yeah.

It's a big black egg.

Right?

And you see that there?

That's actual currency.

It's a kind of
indictment of capitalism.

Yes, because we hate money now.

I hung out with Dawn Macknel.

He told me literally
everything I'm saying now.

I'm helping you understand
pieces you actually own.

Well, thank God for you,
oh great art-sage.

Arrow:
Awkward vibes!

You two are like twins.

Ew.

Mmm!

Who wants more to drink?

Ooh, yeah!
- Yes!

Mm!

Do you have snacks?

I believe in you.

I don't.

I don't remember why
things ended between us.

I wanted to ask or I've
been trying to remember.

Um, I don't know, uh,

but I have pockets of
things that I like

can't make sense of and-

Well, you fell in love
with Paul.

That's it?

Kinda, yeah. I mean,

I know it was much more
sudden on my end, like,

I was the love of
your life one minute,

and then you met Paul
and, you know, I wasn't.

[floorboard creaks]
- Sorry, one sec. Hello?

It's a lot of photos
of one person.

Yeah, this is you.

That's me?

Sabi: Yeah.
- Well, that's you.

This with the...

Ooh, mysterious. Yeah, yeah.
—Right? Yes.

And then a subtle flex.
Is that Marina Abramovic?

Gaia's met like everybody.

This place is so...

um...

Bougie?

Bougie, yeah.
- Yeah.

You know, it would be,
like, so amazing if, um...

What?

Nothing, it was just,
um, kind of silly.

What were you gonna say?

I don't know, I'm...

wouldn't it be amazing
if there could be,

if we could build
something for like artists,

and writers, and iconoclasts?

Yeah, yep.

Think that would
make Deenzie happy?

I don't think he'd care.

But my other dad he'd,

[sighs] he'd love it.

And that would make
Deenzie happy.

Can I sit there?

I just want a better
view of the photos.

Oh, okay, yeah.

[Sabi chuckles]

Paul:
Hey!

I found organic chia seeds.

Bess?

Bess!

I'm in here.

You... you walked.

By yourself?

From there?

Yeah, I did.

You good?

Oh my God, I'm...

I'm so happy. [laughs]

Am I allowed to?

I wanna...

It's okay, you can hug me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi!

Hey!

Oh my gosh, did you walk here?

[hand knocks]

It's me. Can I come in?

Oh. Yes.

You okay?

I'll be fine, bachi.

Why do people do this?

Get krunk?

Is that what I am?

A "krunk"?

Right, well...

I'm gonna go back to work.

I'll check on you at
the end of the day.

You're the best.
