03x03 - Katie Girls

[bunniefuu]

Previously on This Is Us...


I don't like talking about the w*r.


But I like talking to you.


JASPER: At your weight, the chances of a successful pregnancy are very slim, even if you go through in vitro.


REBECCA: Why would you take that risk?


Because I want to.


I want to look at the baby in his face, and I want to...


I want to see Toby. I want to see myself. I want to see... I want to see Dad.


RANDALL: She said she was the only one who could pass on a piece of Dad?


("POOR LITTLE FOOL" BY RICKY NELSON PLAYING)


Rebecca, your father's coming home.


Clean up your toys.


Hi, honey.


- How was your day?
- Just fine.


♪ That hastened at my call ♪


♪ But when I met that little girl ♪


♪ I knew that I would fall ♪


♪ Poor little fool ♪


♪ Oh, yeah ♪


♪ I was a fool ♪


- Hi, honey. How was your day?
- Totally fine.

(SIGHS)


Can I help you, Rebecca?


(BOYS CHUCKLING)


Don't force it.
Let the teeth do the work.


Okay.


Thank you.


Don't pay attention to any of them.


They've never seen anyone like you before.


They never will again.


(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)


Alan?


What are you doing here?


Rebecca, uh, I've spent... every day of the last three years thinking about you.


And I-I was dying to call you or to write to you, but...


I told you not to.


Look, I-I know you've probably moved on with your life.


But the truth is, Rebecca, I've never seen anyone like you. And I never will again.


(CHUCKLES)


You need a new line.


That one worked well for me once.


Yeah, it did.


Come in. Come in, come in.


(MAN TALKING ON TV)


What is this, a pickle parade?


Make another one.


Mom, leave it.


- What's that, hotshot?
- It's fine, Jack.


No, really, it's not fine.


Mom, stop. Don't-don't touch it.


Think you're a big man now you went to w*r?


What a help you were to your little brother.


Big hero.


You know what, go pack your things.


- Okay? You're leaving.
- Jack, stop.


You can pack your things, and I'll get you settled someplace new.


Or you can stay, and I'll k*ll him.


One way or another, this ends right now.


I wanted to come back, have everything go back to normal.


The girl of my dreams is gonna be waiting for me out there.


She's gonna be wearing a yellow dress.


She's gonna have flowers in her hair.


She's gonna be waiting for someone who no longer exists.


(SIGHS)


(CHEERING)


(MOUTHING)


(WHOOPS)


Kev, you're a freaking movie star.


KATE: What's that word that they use when they talk about Daniel Day-Lewis?
- What?


Gravitas.


Kev. Kev had gravitas.


- He did. He was unbelievable.
- I...


Yo, uh, Kev told me about the IVF.


Yeah. Yeah, we're doing it.


The hormone sh*ts.


The works.


And the egg retrieval's next week.


- It's a long sh*t, for sure.
- Right.


But I feel like we have to at least try.


Right.


What, because you think that having a biological child is the only way to pass on a piece of Dad?


N... Okay, I don't...


Those were not the words that I used.


Right. So I do or I don't have a piece of Dad in me?


Randall, obviously you do.


And of course Toby and I would consider adoption if it came to that.


"If it came to that"? Nice.


- I think you're overreacting.
- Am I?


Because you're telling me you'd rather pay tens of thousands of dollars for a dangerous, invasive surgery rather than adopt one of the millions of children out there that needs a home?


You had two biological children before you adopted, Randall.


That's a completely different situation.


Why?


Why, because it was easy for Beth to get pregnant?


Good for her.


It hasn't been for me.
It's been very, very hard.


- I know that, Kate.
- No, you don't.


You don't. You don't know what it's like to want this as badly as I do, and you don't... know what it's like to lose a baby, either.


- Kate, stop.
- No.


How dare you throw adoption in my face right now?


And how dare you make me defend wanting this?


- Hey, Kate, come on, I...
- (VOICE BREAKING): No.


No.


Kate, I...


Okay, come on, Mom.


I can't do it, Jack.


Yes, you can.


Look, Cheryl said you can stay as long as you need.
She's happy to have the company.


Mom... you deserve more than what's in that house.


Come on. Come on.


We're bringing Cheryl a coffee cake.


- Mom, we don't need to...
- Jack, please.


I don't want to show up empty-handed.


Okay, coffee cake it is.


Rebecca, it is so good to see you.


It's so good to see you, too, Mrs. Phillips.


Yeah, I do have to admit, when Alan told us that he was coming back for you, I thought he was nuts.


- (LAUGHS)
- ALAN: Mom.


I mean, he had no idea if you were gonna take him back.


He has a whole life in London.


Lovely apartment, great job working for The Telegraph.


I had a feeling.


Your generation. You walk away from a perfectly good life for a feeling.


ALAN: Perfectly good wasn't enough.


I needed great.


She is great. You know when I knew?


When you asked her to move to London with you and she turned you down cold.


- Ooh.
- Okay, we don't need to relive


- that part of the story, thank you.
- (LAUGHTER)


She wanted to find her own path and not follow some guy halfway around the world.


And I said, "Good for you."


Well, I had a pretty good role model.


MR. PHILLIPS: Oh, uh... how's the singing going, Rebecca?


Uh, it's going.


There's actually a record label out in Los Angeles called Reprise Records that liked my demo and I've been thinking of going out there to meet with them.
- No, you shouldn't.


I-I, um...


Don't go to L.A.

New York has a great music scene.


And it's got soul, and... I would go with you.


Listen, I-I've got this friend who's got an in at the Village Voice.


I could write during the day and see you sing at night.


We could both follow our dreams.


(REBECCA LAUGHS)


- After you.
- Thank you.


You're welcome. See?


I'd say being picked up from the airport isn't so bad.


You get some guy to carry your bags for you, buy you baller flowers.


"Baller"?


I regretted it the moment that I said it.


Ooh, a shopping spree.


Uh, ye... No. That's, you know...


Those are talk show outfits, actually.


Yeah, it's been a pretty intense week ever since the premiere, so I had to...


- Right.
- Actually, you know what, um, I have my last interview tomorrow morning; if you want to tag along, you're more than welcome.


- It could be fun.
- Uh...


I don't know that vapid movie press is really my thing.


Right. No, it's fine.


I mean, I'm sure it'll be boring anyway.


It's with some NPR guy named Terry Gross.


Terry Gross is not a man, Kevin.


She is a goddess.


Really? You know him? Her?


- Yeah.
- Okay, well, invitation's open. I mean, you could tag along if you wanted to.


I know how much you hate vapid movie press and all...


- I'm coming.
- You're coming.


- Mm.
- Yeah.


(LINE RINGING)


BROWN: Hello?


Councilman Brown.
Uh, it's Randall Pearson.


You're a difficult man to get ahold of.


Comes with the job, I'm afraid.


I'm never at my desk.


Guess it's a little different than weather trading.


Oh, you looked me up.


I always take an interest in people who take an interest in me.


I'd rather you take an interest in the rec center on th Street.


You promised to send a maintenance crew seven days ago.


And to fix all the busted street lights.


There are a whole lot of people who are depending on you, sir.


BROWN: I hear that, and I promise you, I will get to your street lights, but there's an order to the way I do things.


Now, I'm sorry. I've got another call.


- Council...
- (PHONE BEEPS)


(SIGHS)


Looks like we're both in a holding pattern.


(CHUCKLES)


I am hoping tomorrow is the day that Bill finally signs off on my proposal.


He will. Hey.


Who wouldn't sign off on you?


I'll sign off on you right now.


(LAUGHS)


That don't even make sense.


It will if you let me demonstrate.


- Mm. Ah.
- You talk to your sister yet?


I texted her this afternoon.


She has yet to respond.


Was your text an apology?


Sort of.


- Randall.
- Hmm?


She is having surgery tomorrow, okay?


I love you, boo, but you overstepped.


And you kind of have trouble apologizing to your siblings.


What? No, I don't.


Mm-hmm.


Miguel says it's because you feel like you need to be the rock for them, and apologizing shows vulnerability.


I'm sorry, uh, Miguel's weighing in on this now?


Me, him and Toby have a text chain.


It's mostly gifs, but, you know, sometimes we talk about how messed up y'all are.


(SQUAWKS)


- What are you doing?
- Hi, Kate.


Yeah. I have Randall for you.


- Hold on.
- (EXHALES)


RANDALL (ON PHONE): Hi, Kate.


Um, it's Randall.


Look, I just wanted to, uh, wish you luck with your surgery tomorrow.


That's it?


No, it's not. I...


I also wanted to talk about our conversation last week.


- Oh, hold on a sec.
- (KNOCKING AT DOOR)


- TOBY: I got it.
- (AUDIO BARKS)


- Oh, okay.
- I got it. I got it.


- From Kevin.
- Are you kidding me?


RANDALL: Hey, look, Kate, I feel like last week, I...


At Kevin's premiere, some regrettable utterances were... uttered.


- Look, what I'm...
- You know what, uh, Randall, I can't have a thing with you right now.


Mom is acting like I'm having a triple bypass.


And then Kevin just sent me flowers that you send to someone when you're worried that they're never gonna see a flower again.


Everyone in this family is making me feel like I'm gonna die tomorrow.


It's really starting to freak me out.


So, um, thank you for the call, but I'm gonna go.
- No, just wait, Kate, hey.


- I...
- (PHONE BEEPS)


Oh, wow.


- She sounds really scared.
- I know.


But one of the other things that Miguel says that you do with your brother and sister is overreact when... What are you doing?


I'm gonna get my suitcase.


I'm gonna fly to L.A. for the surgery.


Oh, my God, Miguel is so on point.


I promised myself I wouldn't ask you to move to New York for at least a week.


Mm. You really blew it, huh?


(BOTH CHUCKLE)


I do want to get out of Pittsburgh.


And, like you said, New York does have soul.


So... is that a yes?


(LAUGHS)


REBECCA: Mm.


(LAUGHS)


- We should celebrate.
- Yes.


- Let's make a toast...
- Yes.


...with... grapefruit juice.


I'll go get us something.


- I'll come.
- No, no. I-I could use the walk.


And you should stay with your family.


I will surprise you, okay?


I'll be right back.


Hi, Kate.


- How are you feeling today?
- Little nervous.


Just try and relax.
Your vitals looks great.


The nurse will bring you in in just a couple of minutes.


While you're in surgery, Toby will give us a sperm sample, and then we'll put your eggs and your sperm together, and, hopefully, make some embryos.


- Okay?
- Okay.


Thank you, Dr. Jasper.


I'll see you in there.


- Tobe, I'm freaking out.
- What?


God, what if I die in there?


Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're not gonna die.


Okay, well, if I do, I want you to find someone.


But not that bitch from your accounting department, Sharyn.


She always gives me the stink eye.


- And not Madison.
- Okay. Promise I won't marry Madison.


I'm not gonna marry stink-eye Sharyn.


I will just find myself a committed, semi-happy relationship with someone less cool than you, okay?


- Okay.
- Deal.


We're gonna bring you in now.


- Okay. Oh, okay.
- Okay. Okay.


- I love you.
- I love you.


- Okay. Bye.
- Off you go.


Okay, you're gonna do great.


KEVIN: Toby says that, uh, Kate's going into pre-op right now.


He's gonna text me when she's done, so...


I am sure she'll be fine.


She's coming. She's coming.


- Hey. Hi.
- TERRY GROSS: Hey. Hi, Kevin.


Hi, I'm Terry Gross.
Thanks for coming to our show.


It's an honor to be here.
Terry, this is my, um, my Zoe.


- Oh, hey, Zoe.
- She's a big fan.


Oh, thanks, that means so much to me.


- I read your book.
- Really?


- It was so good.
- Oh, thank you.


How-how are you so good at finding the, um, essence of people?


Oh, I guess I'm a curious person, and I try never to underestimate people.


- Hmm.
- Yeah.


Kevin, we can start any time.


- Yeah, I'm ready to go.
- Okay.


GROSS: I found your character so believable.


You played him with this complicated mix of bravery and vulnerability.


Oh, thank you very much.
I appreciate you saying that.


Your father's a veteran.


He served in Vietnam, right?


Uh, yes, he did.


So, were you able to draw on his experiences?


Not really. He, um...


My father d*ed when we were .


- Oh, I'm-I'm sorry.
- Thank you. Thank you.


Um, so, no, I really don't know much about what he did over there.


I-I have a few photos, I have some, uh, some letters, but I don't really have much else.


Did he see combat?


No, no, he, uh...


Well, he could... he could have, actually.


I don't, um... I don't know.


Where did he serve?


JACK: Hey, Kev, what about this one, the B- Mitchell?


Can I get this one instead?


No, no. We're here to buy a plane to build.


Oh, this one's like a real grenade.


- I said no.
- Come on, Dad, it's awesome.


- Kev, put it down.
- Fire in the hole!


I said no!


Wow, I don't know.


A lot of men of his generation found the w*r too painful to talk about, except maybe with other vets.


Right.

- Of course.

Beth, there is no easy way to say this.


You have worked for us for years.


We have to let you go.

- It is purely a budget issue.


We have to let go of one of our senior staff.


We have a separation agreement for you.


If you sign it, we can offer you severance.


Bill, I don't understand.


I'm sorry, I had to let someone go, Beth.


And I'm less valuable than Rick and Abby?


It's about numbers and productivity.

You are less valuable than Rick and Abby to the company right now.
