03x07 - Sarah from College

[bunniefuu]

Hey, just FYI, we don't
have to stay here super long.

Well, let's stay at least
until the toasts.

That's true. That's true.
You gotta see them toasts, baby.

It's when all the good sh*t
goes down.

You hear embarrassing stories
about people's childhoods.

- Oh, yeah.
- Nicknames they don't want anyone to know.

Oh, we're gonna find out
so many nicknames.

But, no, seriously, anytime you want
to take off, just let me know.

Are you kidding me?
I love weddings.

'Cause people get drunk

and they get into fights and they hook up
and they dance, it's amazing.

- Yeah. Table eight.
- All right.

You know it's gonna be good.

What about you, you like weddings?

Uh, yeah. I'm a sucker for any kind of
public display of affection.

- So, weddings are my Disneyland. Yeah.
- Totally.

All right. Who do you know?
You recognize anybody?

Hmm, who do I know?

Me and the bride were friends in college,

but her group of friends
weren't really my main crew.

- Mm-hmm.
- So, we didn't keep in touch that much.

Yeah, I'm not really friends with anyone
from college, except for this guy Aaron.

I told you about him. His mom went
to prom with the Unabomber.

What?

His mom went to prom with the Unabomber.

Oh, yes. I remember you
telling me that.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
You want to get a drink?

Yeah, uh, you want anything?

Yeah, could I get a Jägermeister?

Oh, nice. Nice.

- What's up?
- Hey.

What can I get you, sir?

Yeah. Could I get a water
and another water? Thanks.

- Gus! Hi!
- Hey!

- Hello, there.
- How are you?

- Good, how are you?
- Good, great. Yeah.

- Good. That's awesome.
- Yeah.

- Yeah, it's good to see ya. Yeah.
- Yeah, you too.

Um...

Yeah, I thought I might see you here.

- I know, the same. Yeah.
- Yeah.

I thought I might see me here, too.

Um, so can you believe this,
that Leah's getting married?

- It's so crazy, right?
- Oh, I know.

I know, it seems just like yesterday

she was peeing in a bush,
drunk, outside our dorm.

I actually forgot about that.

- Probably with good reason.
- Yeah. It's weird.

So, uh, anybody else here
from the old college crew?

Oh, yeah.
Um, Megan and Katie and you and me.

- So...
- That's it?

Yeah. Yeah, we're a dying breed.

- I'll say. Yeah.
- So... Yeah.

It's a real shame.

Yeah. Do you see Leah much in LA or...

No. Not really.

Yeah, I think she only invited me

so it wouldn't be uncomfortable if we
bumped in each other at a Panera.

- Right. Right.
- Yeah.

- Here you go.
- Yeah.

Thank you. Sarah, do you want anything?

- Can I get a glass of red wine, please?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

Um, so, two waters,
are you pretty thirsty or...

Oh. Yeah, no, this is
for me and my girlfriend Mickey.

She's here. Yeah.

- Oh, cool. Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah. Cool.

- That's great.
- Are you here with anybody?

No, I'm just flying solo.

- That's cool. Very cool. Yeah.
- So, yeah. Very cool.

- Uh, well, there's that.
- Um... There's that.

- So, uh...
- Yeah.

- So good to see you.
- So good to see you, too.

- I'm glad we got to see each other.
- Yeah, yeah.

Let's catch up later. I want to hear
all about what's going in Gus world.

- I want to meet Mickey.
- Okay.

- That would be fun.
- Yeah.

I'd love to know what's in Sarah world.
All right.

- Oh. Yikes, too many liquids.
- Too many liquids, yeah.

- But it was really nice seeing you.
- Yeah. You too.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Here's your water. Yeah.
- Oh, thank you.

Who's that you were talking to?

Oh, that was, um, Sarah.
We actually used to go out.

- Mm-hmm. I picked up on that vibe.
- There was no vibe.

- There was electricity between you two.
- You don't know what you're talking about.

No, no. Ex-electricity.

- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

Were you two serious?

Uh... no. I mean,
serious in a college way, but, you know...

I liked M. Night Shyamalan in college,
so, what do I know?

Yeah.

You know what? I think we're on the move.

- So maybe we should skedaddle.
- All right.

Nice out here.

What's that?

I mean, I wouldn't want
my wedding like this.

I'd want a lot more people. I want it
to feel like a big party, but it's nice.

- What would you do? Mm-hmm.
- For my wedding? I don't know.

- Haven't really thought about it.
- Mm-hmm.

I've thought about it.

I just don't have any strong feelings,
one way or the other.

- But, um, yeah, I like big weddings.
- Yeah.

- Gus? Oh, wow. Little Gussy!
- Hey. Hi, Katie.

- Hey. Gus, this is Matt, my husband.
- Good to see you.

Matt, this is Gus.
We went to college together.

- What's up?
- Hey.

- Oh. Hi. I'm Katie.
- Oh, hi.

Oh, where are my manners?
Katie, this is Mickey.

Mickey, Katie. Matt and Sarah.

It's so nice to meet you, Mickey.
I love your dress. It's gorgeous.

Oh, thank you.
I love your earrings.

Oh, thank you. I thought they were
a little too much, so I appreciate that.

Pretty earrings, pretty dress. All right.

- That was cute. Aw...
- Yeah, that was nice.

So, what'd you think of the ceremony?

- Beautiful.
- Yeah, lovely.

You think it's worth $110,000?
Because that's what this cost.

Oh, my God. Wow.
That's a lot of money.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, enjoy.

I paid $40,000 to rent this hotel.

- sh*t.
- Yeah.

And chairs. Oh, you want chairs, too?
Oh, on your wedding?

Okay. $3,000 for the chairs.

- Wow. This really adds up.
- Steep.

Yeah. The band, $8,000.

And the bar, that's where
you really get f*cked in the ass.

They want to close at 11.
I said not on my time. Ten o'clock.

'Cause they have all the friends drinking,
that's at my expense, okay.

And the chicken,
eat the f*cking chicken to the bone.

I'll make sure you eat every piece
of f*cking...

- No doggy bags, okay?
- We'll eat that chicken.

- You eat that chicken.
- Okay.

You know why I'm paying for all this?

Because the bride's parents
are f*cking broke. f*cking broke.

- I think I just met my new best friend.
- He's awesome.

Where is that chicken, by the way?
I'm so hungry.

- Yeah, me too. I'm starvin', Marvin.
- Oh, look, there's Sarah.

- Oh, look at that.
- Mm-hmm. Should we go talk to her?

Nah, I think we're good.
We don't need to.

She's standing all by herself.

You guys already met and stuff, so...

That seems rude,
leaving her alone over there.

- Uh, sure. Yeah, I don't care. Why not?
- Yeah.

- Sarah, hi. Hi.
- Hello.

- Let's do it. Okay, awesome.
- Okay, cool.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hello. How's it going?
- Good, how are you?

Good, we're good.

- What a beautiful wedding, right?
- I know.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Just watching Clay and Leah,
they just look so in love.

- It was just beautiful. It was so nice.
- Special. Yeah.

Yeah. You know what'd be nice?
If we were eating right now.

- I'm so hungry.
- Yes.

We have to wait for them to take
300 photos underneath a tree or something.

Oh, right. Totally. I know, couldn't they
have found that tree earlier today?

Yeah.

So when did you get into town, Sarah?

- Uh, yesterday morning. Yeah.
- Okay.

- Where do you live?
- Denver. Yeah.

- Oh, nice.
- Yeah, yeah.

I mean, if you love beautiful trees
and beautiful mountains,

there are definitely worse places to live.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. So, how are you liking LA?

Oh, you know, it's very crazy to be back
because I feel like it's all so different.

And honestly,
I did not move away that long ago. Right?

- Oh, you used to live here?
- Yeah.

- Yeah. Yes, Sarah used to live here.
- Oh, got it, yeah.

I can't remember
exactly how long ago, but...

When did we have that apartment together?

- Uh, yeah, when was that? Six years ago?
- Yeah.

- Something like that. Yeah.
- Yeah. That makes sense.

So, when did you get into town?

Yesterday morning. You said that.

You know what, I almost forgot too, so...

- Yeah, now we know.
- Um, yeah.

And elephant in the room,
Gus and I used to date,

but, honestly, who cares?

I'm so happy for you, Gus.

It's so nice to see you guys together.
It truly warms my heart.

- Thank you. So nice.
- That's very sweet of you to say.

Oh, it looks like
the food is coming out, Mickey.

Looks like those photos are over, finally.

- See you guys there. Bon appétit.
- Okay. All right.

- Was she f*cking with us?
- No.

I mean, like, a little.

Uh, I don't think so.

I don't care, it just seemed like
there was a lot going on there.

- Yeah, you're probably right there.
- Yeah.

- You're not mad at her, right?
- No.

Why didn't you tell me
you lived together?

You know, I thought I did.
We were at that dinner party, remember?

Everybody was talking
about people they lived with.

I'm pretty sure I said
I lived with this girl Sarah.

- I don't know.
- Maybe I didn't.

I'm sorry, I get a little awkward
around exes,

- but you want to go?
- Yeah.

Just want to have fun tonight.

I'm not the one
who's not having fun.

No, I know. But it's all done with,
it's taken care of.

We don't have to see her
for the rest of the night.

Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome,

for the very first time,
Clay and Leah Reddy.

Um, to the University of South Dakota.

Uh, the best state school
that our parents could afford.

Go, Coyotes!

- Cheers.
- That's very good. Cheers.

Oh, yeah, please, thank you.
So, did you notice that, like...

- So, have you two met the groom yet?
- No. Nope.

We met him at the rehearsal dinner.
Really sweet guy.

Aw, that's nice.

- Did you hear, uh, how he proposed?
- No, no.

Oh, he took her to the park
where they had their first date.

Aw.

- Very neat.
- That is very thoughtful. Very sweet.

It tops Jim's proposal,
who decided to propose on the phone.

- Okay.
- Jim!

All right, come on.

I was at my grandma's funeral,
and I saw how upset my grandpa was.

It got me thinking about who I wanted
to spend the rest of my life with.

- Mm-hmm.
- So, you know...

- I know. It was sweet.
- It was sweet.

- Very sweet.
- Anyways...

I'm not big on the whole
elaborate proposal thing anyways.

No, those can be so cheesy.

Thank you. Who were they
talking about last night?

This one guy, he flies his parents to LA,
and the girl's parents,

and proposed at the observatory
or some ridiculous place like that.

I don't remember.

Yes, you do. And when she said yes,
a violinist popped out

and started playing "Maybe I'm Amazed."
Remember?

I think you're confused.

sh*t. Okay, never mind.

- Wait. Was that you?
- Yeah.

- I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.

- No, I shouldn't have...
- No.

Everybody said
it was a really nice proposal, so...

No, it was bad. The weather was bad,
the violin player was bad.

It was stupid. It was dumb.
It was a really stupid thing.

Was that to her?

- Yes. Yes.
- So, you were engaged?

Very briefly.

Um, hi, everybody.

Um, I would like to make a toast,
if that's all right.

Um, I'm Sarah, Sarah Miller.

I'm one of Leah's friends from college.

Speaking of which,

this is the college table
representing right here.

So... Go, Coyotes. Right?

Whoo!

Um, I just want to say, I still remember

when Leah first called me
to tell me about this Clay fella.

And she said, "I just went out
on a date with this guy Clay,

and I think he might be the one."

And I said, "Leah,
listen to me very closely.

Does he have a friend?

And does he have a thing for redheads?

Um, in all seriousness, it's really rare
that someone finds their soul mate,

and Clay and Leah, you guys have found
each other and you guys are soul mates.

Um... Yeah, okay. So, to Clay and Leah.

Cheers.

Good band.

It's cool 'cause they can rock out,
but they can also play the soft stuff.

It's nice. It's very pretty.

Hey, I'm sorry
about that engagement stuff.

Mickey, really, I... I didn't mean
it to catch you off guard or anything.

I'm just trying to put
this time line together in my head.

So, you guys dated in college
and then you moved to LA together?

- Right.
- And then you got engaged?

Yeah, but it was only
for, like, a very short amount of time.

It was, like, a month
and then we broke it off, so...

Mm-hmm. So when I asked you if things
ever got serious, and you said no...

I meant it. No, seriously.
'Cause it never felt serious.

It always felt like we were
two kids pretending to get engaged.

You can downplay it now,

but the fact that you hid it from me
means that it means something to you.

Oh, because you've told me
every single thing

about what's gone on
between you and your exes?

There's nothing hidden or secret?

I mean, I don't...

Just because somebody
keeps something secret

doesn't mean it's this big, bad thing
I don't want to tell you about, okay?

I mean, we were bad together.

And she had this, like,
wounded soul type of thing going on.

Oh, so, maybe that's your thing.
I guess I am your type.

I don't think you're a wounded soul.

Okay, she was more of this people pleaser.

Oh, so, now she sounds like you.

Mickey, what do you want me to say? Okay.
She sucked. She was awful.

She would kiss the whole world's ass
and then come home and be mean to me.

Okay? You're not like that.

It's what I love about you.
You're the opposite of her in every way.

She's touchy and feely. I would touch
her elbow, and she would have this orgasm.

Why would you tell me that?

So you knew what a weirdo she was.

All right, should we just leave?

We don't have to run out right away.
We could stick around.

I think I'm gonna go smoke a cigarette.

- Okay, you want me to come?
- No, I'm good.

f*ck.

- Hey, there. Hi.
- Oh, hi.

- I just came up to get some fresh air...
- I'm not stalking you, I swear.

- May I? Okay.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I quit, like, three years ago,
but I slip up every few weeks.

Well, you're doing better than me.

- I never managed to quit.
- Oh.

Yeah. I mean, I can't control
what comes up in my news feed,

but I remember seeing a picture
of you guys together for the first time

and being like, "Wow. She's really pretty.
I kind of hate her."

Okay.

Also, you got him dressing really well.

Like, congrats on that,
because his style has gone way up.

Thank you for noticing.

Mmm.

But what about you?

Are you seeing somebody now?
What's going on?

Oh, no. Flying solo.

Um...

Actually, uh, don't get sad
when you hear this,

'cause people sometimes
get sad when they hear this,

but I've been divorced
for a year, so...

- I'm sorry.
- No, no, no. It was for the best.

Uh, and, you know,
I'm really happy for you and Gus.

'Cause I can tell
you guys make each other laugh.

Like, he doesn't fake laugh around you.
And I know his fake laugh, so...

You know, I think I'm gonna go get
another drink if you want one?

- Oh, I don't drink.
- Oh, gotcha.

Yeah, I don't really drink, either.
Just weddings, I kind of do, so...

Gotta numb the pain of wearing heels.

♪ I want you to want me... ♪

- Feeling better?
- She wants to f*ck you.

No. She doesn't.

I'm a very intuitive person.
She wants to f*ck you.

Okay, I think you're just
overestimating my appeal here a bit.

Mmm. She's heartbroken and lonely.
She just got divorced.

She wants to go back to the last thing
that made her feel good. It's obvious.

Did you know she was divorced?

- I knew she was divorced, yeah.
- Of course you did.

Uh-oh. Gus.

- I hear some Jamiroquai.
- Oh.

Think we should go
to a Jamiroquai concert sometime?

Very funny. Okay.

One time, Gus surprised me
with a Jamiroquai concert.

Oh, I bet they were surprised
anyone was in the audience.

Ah! Y'all can get your little jabs
in at Jamiroquai,

but you know that show was awesome.

That was great.

Do you guys know, um...
Let's try one that might be easier.

- Do you guys know "Uptown Funk"?
- We don't want to play that right now.

Let's take five.

I just feel like
uptown's gonna f*ck you up.

- Okay, whoa!
- Okay.

- I'm not gonna throw it at them.
- Okay, just seemed like you did.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You ready? Okay. Um...
- Yep.

Real quick, first, um, we gotta give Sarah
a ride back to her hotel.

No, I don't want to.

- Okay, she's super drunk, so...
- Somebody else can give her a ride.

I don't know why you're making
this complicated, okay?

No. We just drive her there, drop her off.

Make sure she gets in okay
and then we go home.

What is this all about?
You said she sucked

and now you're acting like you're
in love with her.

I'm not in love with her.

Well, you proposed to her.

And then you hid it from me.
What the f*ck is this, Gus?

What do you mean, "What the f*ck"?

She's asking me for help,
and I want to give her a ride.

I'm going to do it with or without you.

I'll see you back home.

I feel really bad for Leah, you know,
because the band ruined her wedding.

I don't know.

It seemed like a lot of people were out
on the floor dancing, having a good time.

Oh, yeah. Well, guess what, band?

You're fired.

- Can you still quote him?
- Yeah. It's okay.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

You're escorting me home.

Home sweet home.

This bed feels so good.

Good, good, good, good. Um...

- Well, I'm gonna take off now, okay?
- No.

- It was good to see you.
- Please have a seat.

No, I really... I should hit the road.

Have a seat for one second.

Okay.

So, you heard that I got divorced.
That's very embarrassing.

Yeah. I'm sorry to hear that.

Why are you so far away?
You're across the room.

Well, please, come...
You got to be on here.

- But... please.
- Okay, okay. Yeah.

Just for a couple minutes though, okay?

- Okay, are you timing it?
- No, I'm not timing it.

- Do you have a timer on it?
- No, no, no.

So, here's the story.
You're gonna love it.

I met a guy in Denver.
I thought he was perfect as can be.

Here's the kicker.

He had kids from his wife
that he was married to when we met.

Well, he said, "I don't really
like her that much, and I love you."

And I, well, thought,
"Oh, he wants to marry me."

I didn't think,
"Oh, I'll break up a family." No.

But, please, I can't...
Please don't judge me on this part.

- Don't judge me on it.
- No, I won't.

Okay, this you won't believe.

I became a stay-at-home mom.

I became a stepmom.

- Guess how many kids? Three.
- Oh, uh...

Wow. Oof.

That sounds mega, uh, stressful, but...

Three kids.

Well, it took about four years

for them to, like,
not be little assholes to me.

Well, one of them is just, like,
born a creep.

And then...

And then one day, he just left me...

for, like...

another lady.

And...

now I'm at, like...
now I'm at this weird age

where, like, I'm too young to be divorced,

but I'm too old to be, like,
dating everybody.

And too old for my career.

And now I don't have any of it.

I'm sorry.

I think everything's gonna be okay.

That's bullshit. You don't know that.

You don't even really know me.
I mean...

For, like, five years, we didn't talk.

You can't say stuff like that
if you're not informed.

I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that.
That was...

No, no, no. It's... No.

You know what? Let's just...
We had a fun time at the wedding, right?

Yeah, yeah. It was fun.

I had a fun...

And the best part is... they're happy.

So, at least one of us is happy.

I think that's a... that's the good part.

That one of us is happy.
