02x03 - b*tches, I've Now Gone Outlaw

Post by bunniefuu »

Nora: Previously on
"moonshine".

- You guys are super behind
on your taxes.

Which is what led me to you
guys in the first place.

- I quit.
- (both laugh)

Ryan: Dharma. It's like
your purpose, right?

Crystal: Well, hello, dharma.

Nora: It's come to my attention

That I may be a serial
relationship wrecker.

It's got me thinking about
taking a critical gaze

Back at myself.
Duck bong guy,

Where did we go wrong?
- Oh hey, hot stuff.

- Is the naked dude
your boyfriend?

- I actually don't know
what he is.

- Screwing him is one thing.

Getting into business with him
is next level risky.

- I will find your
bio mom for you.

- It's the letter she left
with me.

It's gotta mean something.

- You are looking at the newest
member of the fcba.

- You did this?
Gale: I can be very persuasive.

♪ never could believe
the things you do to me ♪

Sammy: Someone once
described bingo

As the morgue's waiting room.

A place for geriatric
chain smokers

To gamble their way
into the void.

that you're a star ♪

It's a game of chance,

The cosmic pursuit

Woman: I need a pink dauber!

Sammy: 75 ba*ls collide

Until one lucky dude
wins the race.

Yeah, it's a procreation
metaphor.

♪ satisfied

Thousands of sperm.

One egg.

It's a miracle any of us

(indistinct chatter,
waves lap)

(snoring softly)

(running footsteps approach)

- Oh, make yourself at home.
- Oh, jesus.

Did you start using that
natural deodorant again?

The real stuff might cause
cancer, but at least it works.

- Did you swing by to make me
feel bad about my natural funk?

- Yes.

And I need clothes.

Ter and I have a double date
tonight...

With his partner
and her boyfriend.

I need something classy,
but boring.

Think "the most fun teller
at the bank."

- Oh, I'd be happy to help you
pretend to be an adult.

- (chuckles)
- dinner thing?

- Bingo night
at the shore club.

Can't all date the leader
of the pack.

- Can I please enjoy my
afterglow for 5 minutes,

Without your judgment?

- Sorry, not my biz.
You do you.

And the biker.
- Thank you, and I will.

Did you hear thirsty katie
finally gave rhian

Her coveted golden clam?
- Yeah.

Heard something else.

- I thought you were done.
- I didn't say anything.

- Ugh, stop fake biting
your tongue.

You're gonna spit it out
anyway.

- So, (huffs)

Thirsty katie's real estate
billboard...

Got vandalized last night.

Totally defaced. Now, I gotta
admit, joel looks better.

But... Still.

- You don't know
that was gale?

- And yet you immediately
jump to that conclusion?

Weird coincidence that katie
suddenly does a 180?

- Well, I guess it's no weirder
than a biker

Renovating his cinder block
clubhouse.

Even outlaws deserve
marble countertops.

- He's going with
three-inch maple.

- Oh.
- And...

This is the end
of this conversation.

- Fine. You're going to bingo
night, right?

I might need someone to sneak
off and do shots with me,

So I don't blow my brains out.

Lidia?

(indistinct laughing)

Oscar: (sighs)

- Switch!
(water trickles)

You do like working here
though, right?

- Like it? Pfft. I was so
stressed out at my old job,

I was getting pressure
headaches that can cook rice.

Now, I get to give a goddess
a foot massage.

- (chuckles)
- my life is a 24-7 vacay.

- Well, when you're not
on vacay,

Maybe you can find some time
in those 24-7

To fix the faucet in cabin 2?

I've got those competitive
cyclists checking in

This afternoon, and they're
just, they're very particular.

- Must've slipped my mind.

I've just been very busy
with all the accounting stuff.

And upgrading the reservation
system.

- All very useful.
And appreciated.

It's just that, you know,

Dad and I used to do all
the handyman stuff together

And now that he's retired,
and...

- Say no more.

- Unless you don't think
you can, you know,

Because not all men are capable
in the arts

Of material trades and...

Your hands are very soft.
- They are not that soft.

- It's just, it's a lot.

I can't do it all, you know,
with juggling management,

And-and creating human life
from nothing!

You know, some days,
it's a lot and...

(sighs)

I swear to god, if you disclose
what I am about to tell you,

To anyone, I will drown you
in this foot bath.

But I'm just, I'm feeling
a little bit in over my head

Without mom and dad,
and... Lidia.

And, I just need to know
that you can handle this.

- You know what? Not only do
I have your feet, my love,

But I have your back, too.

I'm gonna go kick
that sink's a*s.

Right now!

- That's my handyman!
(military drumming)

That was hot.

(beads jingling)

Ryan: Little brother!
- Yo.

- I've been looking for you
all day.

- At the club setting up bingo.

- Well, I've been setting up
somethin', too.

I've been doing a lot of
processing about your bio mom.

- Why?
- I've been working on a weird
theory

About the fish symbol on the
letter. You ready for it?

- I... Maybe?
- Okay.

Your mom was either
a fisherwoman

Who delivered the fresh catch
or...

A mermaid.
- Huh.

- Think about it!

That's why you can hold your
breath so long under water!

Hey, come on, sammy,
that was funny!

(hand thuds on counter)

- I think I'm...
I'm gonna stop searching.

- What? But we were just
getting started.

- Terry didn't find
a dna match.

And-and I looked at the fish
thing, it's just some...

Ancient greek symbol.

I couldn't find anything
with the groovy wheels though.

So, that's two dead ends
and no other leads.

But I think I may need to make
peace with the fact

That I may never find her.
Okay?

And-and at this point,
what would it change, anyway?

- If she's a mermaid, a lot!

Did you ask mom and dad
if they know anything

About the weird fish symbol?

- They're taking a vacation
for the first time in 30 years

I'm not, I'm not bothering
them with this.

- Okay, well, sammy, if you ask
me, and I know you did not,

You're letting an epic journey
of self-discovery

Slip through your fingers!
- Ryan... Let it go.

- Well, I'm here
if you change your mind!

- Okay, thank you!
- Anytime!

- 'k!

- Do I have a smurf tongue?
Be honest. Ah!

- Yeah, ryan, you have
a smurf tongue.

- Yeah!

(upbeat rock music)

Nora (on radio): Rugburn,
ice packs,

A spatula mark on my a*s.
- (chuckles)

That is what we call
good punishment.

(radio clicks off)
- hey, ter!

- Hey!

- I'm stoked for tomorrow
night.

My psychic said that August
was gonna be my lucky month.

Bingo, ter.
- Oh, right, yes.

Uh, yeah, it's gonna be
really fun.

- It'll be cool to get to know
nora better. (sighs)

Although, I feel like
I already know

A lot about her, and you.

- (chuckles)
okay. Well,

Whatever this conversation is
about, we're not having it.

Now, get your butt off my desk
you're sittin' on my files.

- Okay. Okay.

(nervous exhales, mumbling)

- All right, let's tutor it up
and get you a ged!

(chuckles) you don't have
to raise your hand.

- Oh. Okay.

Sorry, I didn't know that.

Got a strike one I guess, huh?

- You're tweaking. I get it.

I've been in sat prep
since I was 13.

I basically live in anxiety
during practice tests.

- Hmm.

- Just gotta find a way
to shake it off.

Like meditation or...

- Ooh, or like how I have this
jar, and I, and I...

Scream my-my fears,
and my sads,

And my angers into it,

And then, I seal it up tight
and put it in the freezer?

- Maybe you should spend the
$20 you gave me on therapy.

(both chuckle)
- I just...

I don't know, I'm not a very
schooly person,

You know, like... Ah.
- Who told you that?

Talk about confirmation bias.
- Confir... what?

Lesson 1: How to cram.

Lidia: Hola, guys! (giggles)

Robin, lookin' fresh, buddy.

You too, scowling girlfriend.
- Jo-ann.

- Oh, jo-ann. (giggles)

Oh, hey!
These samples just came in,

So, I figured I'd pop by

Also, there's this thing
my sister said...

I just wanna clarify.
- Okay?

- Katie,
lobster-palooza katie,

Uh, you didn't like, ha,
I don't know,

It sounds totally crazy
to even say out loud,

Um, vandalize her billboard
on the highway into chester?

- I prefer the term...
Worked over.

- So, t-that's a yes?

- A colleague asked her
to reconsider her position

On the moonshine's place
in the business association.

- It was very considerate,

But a strongly-worded email
may have done the trick.

- You seemed pretty stoked
about this yesterday.

- I-I was.

No, I-I am. I just uh...

Vandalism, threats,
not really my thing.

- Noted.

Anything else?
- Yeah.

This... Renovation,
that's all it is, right?

A reno?

I mean, I've never...

I've never known a biker
who cared what colour story

His space told before,

And given you're the first
biker I've known...

- Clearly, you're the type
of woman

That appreciates full
disclosure.

- Yeah.

- Does this place need
a little update?

Yes.
- Yes. (giggles)

- Am I using the reno
as a way to launder money?

Also, yes.

But you'll get a cut
for your trouble, of course.

- Of course. Mm-hmm.

- Are we okay?
- Yeah! Uh-huh.

And I appreciate your
transparency. Very refreshing.

Uh, but I should probably
just go. Oh! Okay.

Thinking about keeping these?
Not really the uh,

Mod hacienda vibe
we're going for.

But to be discussed.
Okay. Bye-e!

- f*ck!

Um, okay, in 10th grade,
I got involved with this guy,

And then, everyone found out
and it was super humiliating,

And so, I dropped out of school.

But it was my own,
stupid fault.

You know, like I never
should've screwed around

With mr. Phelps. I didn't
even like geography!

- He was a teacher?
- Well, yeah.

But I mean, he waited until
I was 16 to sleep with me.

- That's ill*gal!
- Is it?

He taught geography, not law.

And when I was a teenager,

No one really seemed to care
about that stuff,

Not even my mom
when I told her.

- So, a male authority figure
enticed you

Into an inappropriate
relationship,

Which resulted in emotional
abuse and sl*t-shaming.

You blamed yourself
and dropped out of school,

And now, you're abandoning
all your future ambitions

How do you feel about bingo?

Gale: If your whole family's
gonna be at this bingo thing,

How're we gonna hide
what we're doin'?

(claps paper)
- we're not.

(paper riffles)

But my family can't know.

- Is this the floorplan
of the shore club?

- I drafted it. To scale.

This is my first official
criminal enterprise

Planning thingy,
I am not half-assing it.

I am going full a*s!

This is me.
(lip balm clacks)

This is you.
(spark plug clunks)

Gale: You think anyone's
gonna buy

That I've taken a sudden
interest in bingo?

Lidia: I've come up with
a whole back story,

In case anyone asks.
Your mom was a bingo champ.

- Or... We use one o' my crew
and then,

I meet up with you after
I get the cash so...

No one gets suspicious.

- Or that.
- Okay.

- Okay.

- Here's how it's gonna go
down. We take the dirty money,

Lidia: Yes.

- We mix it with the clean
prize money.

Make it look like the pot's
really amped up.

- Best of luck!
- No debit, no credit.

Don't want anyone tracking
transactions.

There's a lot of money
to launder,

And no one's gonna question
a bigger jackpot.

- Good luck, lois.
- Yeah!

Gale: Our player hands you
the cash.

You mix it with yours,
make it look like

You sold a ton of cards.

You fake the receipts
on the back end.

- Have fun, jo-ann.
Gale: Dirty money in.

Clean money out. We rig
the game, jo-ann wins and...

Bingo.

Lidia: The dirty money
looks legit.

- Now, I'm good
at a few things,

Just not that familiar
with bingo.

How you plan to rig
the game?

- Oh, please. I've run bingo
nights since middle school.

Got a few tricks up my sleeve.

Metaphorically, 'cause I think
I'm gonna wear a tank top.

I was gonna peg you.

Unless you want me to.

- If you're gonna be
a smart a*s,

Why didn't you just stay
at work?

- What is with you, ter?
- Nothing.

- Whereas I have been doing
the opposite of nothing,

Trying to make you happy.
Cleaning my stupid apartment,

Dressing like I sell arbonne.

- I never asked you
to do any of that.

- No, you didn't, because that
would mean you communicated

Your feelings to me, which you
are not doing, right now!

Instead, I'm trying
to read your mind.

Which is going great.

- Okay, I didn't think I needed
to tell you

Not to air every detail of our
relationship, to the public.

That just seemed like something
you should know not to do.
