All language subtitles for Home Economics s02e05 Giant Jenga.eng

Chapter 12... Ever since childhood,

the Hayworth siblings
loved to play games.

And that tradition continued
with game night at Connor's.

Tom and Marina were looking
forward to an evening of good food,

big laughs, and making the loser cry.

Babysitter's all set.
We're ready to roll.

Well, I just ordered a $29 pizza

for a $30-an-hour babysitter.

I know you can't put a price tag on fun,

but, oh, I just did, it's $149.

Come on, game night's gonna be great.

Connor bought Giant Jenga, and
then, you know, maybe later

we can make the night really special.

All right. We can have sex.

Oh.

Oh, you weren't talking about sex.

No, I was talking about
playing "Settlers of Catan."

But hey, your idea works, too.

I mean, I like it better.
It works better.

Oh!

Wow! Good for Connor!

- Who is that?
- I don't know.

He didn't tell me he was dating anybody.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

- [crash]
- Oh!

[crunch]

- That's my garage!
- That's my Jessica!

[upbeat music]

? Hey, hey, hey, hey ?

- How do you know Jessica?
- How do you know Jessica?

- How do you know Jessica?
- Connor, you were kissing her.

You go first.

Okay, well, a couple of weeks ago,

I was at this tech conference,

and there was a panel on
blockchain regulation,

which, honestly, it's gonna
dampen the growth

- of the crypto market.
- BOTH: Connor.

Okay, cool. Anyways,
there was this intelligent,

successful, ambitious smoke
show sitting next to me.

I make a joke about Elon Musk.

She laughs.

We've been dating ever since.

Now, how is she your Jessica?

Well, she isn't...

not anymore...

but she was.

- What's going on?
- Something dramatic.

Jessica broke my heart...

at summer camp.

She's Camp Girl?

- I'm gonna need more wine.
- You know about this?

Vaguely. He told me,

- but I always tuned out the details.
- Hmm.

It was an idyllic summer...
Camp Caribou.

Each night, the fireflies
would light up the woods.

In the early-morning dawn,

you might catch a glimpse
of a black-tailed deer.

Why are you talking like
you're narrating a book?

Because the saga of me and Jessica

is a chapter in my book, remember?

It was that summer that
Sarah and I went to Caribou,

- you went to that lacrosse camp?
- Best summer ever.

I averaged, like, three goals a game.

I slept with my stick every night.

Jessica and I were
inseparable that summer.

Each night we'd sneak
off down to the lake

and talk about our love
of Stephen King novels

and the Counting Crows.

I can see why you tuned out the details.

Our final night at camp,

we were supposed to meet
at the farewell dance.

I made a leather bracelet for her.

I even carved her initials into it.

- But Jessica never showed.
- Aww.

You must have been so sad and cute.

The next morning we boarded
different busses home,

never to meet again.

I don't know... I heard
this rumor after that

that she'd met this other
boy down at the docks.

It just kind of messed with my head.

That fall, in got a B-minus in
AP bio, and I guess that was it.

You know, that was the
beginning of the end.

Yeah, your life really went downhill.

You're stuck with three
beautiful children, a hot wife.

No, no, I mean, come on,
you guys are great.

- "You guys are great"?
- Well, she's coming back.

I invited her to game night.

She just had to go home
and walk her dog.

Wait, what? She's coming back here? Now?

Yeah, should I put on
some Counting Crows?

Okay. Uh... I'm sorry, man,
I don't think I'm ready for this.

You had, like, 20 years
to get ready for this.

Tom, we can't leave.

- We're already 60 nonrefundable dollars in.
- [door opens]

- Party time.
- Hey!

- Hey!
- What happened to your garage?

Tom crashed into it after he
saw Connor's new girlfriend.

- Whoa!
- Ooh!

- She must really be something.
- Sarah, it's Jessica.

- Hmm?
- Camp Girl, Jessica.

- [gasps] No frickin' way.
- She must really be something.

She's coming over here
now, for game night.

Wow! Wow!

You remember how brutal that was for me.

Yeah, I mean, you cried on my shoulder

the entire way home from camp.

Well, not the entire way home.

It was, like, a six-hour drive,

and you sobbed through my sweater.

Tom, it was traumatic.

I mean, I'm not saying
this just as your sister,

but as a newly employed therapist,

I don't think it's healthy
for you to see this woman.

- Connor, this is too soon.
- It's been decades.

I'm not uninviting her.

And the babysitter meter's running.

Exactly. You get it.

So what game are we playing first?

Oh, I think we should
probably wait for Jessica.

Man, in my experience,
waiting for Jessica

is not a great idea.

I'm getting a drink.

That's actually a pretty good burn, Tom.

You're paying 30 an hour, too?

But your kids are older.

Babysitting is one big hustle.

Exactly. We have to pay extra
so that they're CPR-certified?

I've never once seen them use that.

Total rip-off.

- Well...
- And we're going out again next Friday.

Sofia Salazar is doing a tasting menu

for her new restaurant.

I'm so tired of her.

If only she weren't a
magician with duck fat.

- Maybe you could sit for us.
- Oh,

well, we were actually gonna
go to a friend's gallery show,

and I was gonna ask you to sit for us.

Hang on.

Care to make game night a
little more interesting?

More interesting than a
Tom/Connor love triangle?

What do you got?

The loser babysits for
the winner next Friday...

whoever wins the most games tonight.

- [clicking tongue]
- Ooh. Now you're talking.

You got yourself a bet.

You're gonna regret this.

The wins are diaper-wrecking machines.

Alejandro's ding-dong
has a mind of its own.

It's like a broken sprinkler.

We're not gonna be changing any diapers.

We're gonna be out on the town,

while two moody tweens force you
to learn TikTok dances. Mm.

[gasps]

You know, Tom seems fragile.

Maybe we should reschedule.

Tom always seems fragile.
He's our little teacup.

Well, I got some liquid
courage... chamomile.

I think I'm gonna be good.
Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.

Tom, no need to put on a brave face.

You don't have to do this.

- Yes, we do.
- We do, Lulu.

Look, I'm actually
excited to see Jessica.

It's a chance for me to get closure
on something that's haunted me

for years.

Who did she ditch me for that night?

No. No, no, no. Tom, no.
You should not confront her.

I mean, you know, sometimes closure

is more painful than it is helpful.

And I don't want you
to make things weird.

And I need you to be sharp tonight.

Okay.

[slurps]

[grunts] It's a little...
it's a little hot.

Oh, boy. So, um, about that wager...

Mm-mm. We shook on it.

- Damn it!
- Every woman that I'm interested in,

one of you guys has a problem with.

I mean, first, Lindsay, now this?

I mean, if you guys
don't want your brother

to date people you know,
stop meeting hot people!

Seriously, though, Tom,
I like Jessica, okay?

Please don't blow this thing up.

Yeah, I mean...

look, maybe closure is overrated.

I'll just...

let it go. [chuckles]

- Mm.
- Cool.

? Let it go ?

? Let it go ? [chuckles]

- [both groan]
- ? I'm gonna let it go ?

- He's not gonna let it go.
- Mm-mm.

Lulu, honey, could you join me
in the other room, please?

Okay.

You see what a mess Tom is?

- We cannot lose.
- Lulu...

Marina and Tom better have a bucket,

because we are gonna
mop the floor with them.

That's a good line. I should use that.

Listen, you know how
Tom wants to find out

- which guy Camp Girl ditched him for?
- Yeah.

That's all he can think about.
You can't win game night

- when that's on your brain.
- Well, that guy was me.

- Camp Girl was Dock Girl?
- Mm-hmm.

You didn't tell me Tom
was part of that story.

Well, I was too embarrassed.

You know, Jessica was my bunkmate

and my first lesbian crush,

and she was so cool and pretty and fun.

And your brother's girlfriend.

[sighs]

That last night I went down to the
dock because I was so depressed.

I never thought I was
gonna see her again,

and I-I couldn't tell her how I felt.

And so I sat there watching
the reflection of the fireflies

on the water's surface.

You and Tom are so related.

And then, suddenly,

through the mist, there she was.

And she put her arm
around me, and we kissed,

- and...
- And she never met Tom for that dance.

I caused Tom so much pain.

If he confronts Jessica
and the truth comes out,

- he will never forgive me.
- You don't know that.

- This was a million years ago.
- He has no concept of time.

- He's like a dog.
- Okay, you were a kid.

Stop beating yourself up.

And who knows?

Maybe when Jessica drove off,

she realized she was dating Connor,

and why would she want to do that?
And she'll never come back.

Oh, please, oh, please.

[doorbell rings]

You know, to be fair,
we didn't give the universe

enough time to manifest that.

[sighs]

- So, you're cool, right?
- Yeah, I'm cool.

Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
Hey, I'm like The Fonz.

[imitating The Fonz] Hey! [chuckles]

Mm.

There you are.

- You look great.
- Thanks.

Uh, Jessica, this is Marina
and my brother, Tom.

Hey. Oh, wait, did... [chuckles]

Did we go to camp together?

Or... I don't know, did
we? I can't remember.

- But maybe you do.
- We did?

- Huh.
- Huh.

Tom.

- And this is my sister.
- Oh, my God, Sarah!

[giggles] You remember me.

We are not winning game night.

This is so crazy...

I mean, what are the odds

that I went to camp with Tom and Sarah,

and now I'm dating Connor?

I guess I have a thing
for the Hayworth...

Men, Hayworth men.

[chuckles] What a charming bunch.

Actually, you'd even like my dad.

But that'd be weird.

It's just a small world, I guess.

You know, so much to catch up on...

if you want to.

Or not. Or whatever.
I mean, I don't care.

Yeah, I don't think we want to.
We came to game.

And this team is gonna crush it.

It is weird.

Now I have all these
memories flooding back.

- Sarah, do you remember...
- I do. I do.

Good old Camp Caribou. Whoo! [chuckles]

That's... you know, that
is such a cute jacket.

Do you want me to hang it up?
Actually, you know what?

You should probably come with me,

in case I forget which
closet I put it in,

because the closet space here is...

Aah! So many closets.
So come on with. Okay.

- Okay.
- Perfect.

And I will talk to Tom about
how tonight is going to go.

? The cold never bothered me anyway ?

[whispering] It's going great.

So what is your life like now?
I have so many questions.

You know, where do you
live? What do you do?

Well, I'm CTO of an app company.

We kissed. You remember that, right?

The last day of camp on the dock.

How could I not?

You were supposed to
meet Tom at the dance,

but you kissed me.

Yeah, and you kissed me back.

I did. I did.

Oh, Sarah...

we can't.

- I'm with Connor now.
- What?

Oh, no, Jessica, I'm not hitting on you.

I just wanted to get you alone.
Okay, that sounds bad.

And you brought me to a storage closet.

Yeah, I'm seeing the optics now.

Listen, here's the thing...

Tom doesn't know about
you and me and the dock,

and I would really appreciate
it if we kept it that way.

He would be devastated if he knew

that I was the reason why you
didn't make it to the dance.

But that was so long ago.

Yeah. Tom's a writer now,

and, um, you're literally
a chapter in his book.

Whoa.

- That's a lot.
- Yeah. Tom's a lot.

- Kind of dodged a bullet on that one.
- [both chuckle]

But can we agree to protect him?

- Absolutely.
- Okay.

I guess it wasn't our finest moment.

No, no, but it was a moment.

For me too. I mean, that... that
was when I realized I was bi.

It was the most amazing summer...

until the summer that
I interned at Oracle

and realized how tech was
gonna change everything.

Yeah, you're definitely
with the right Hayworth.

All right, let's go.

You know what? Connor's right.

I'm overthinking this.

This all happened so long ago.

I mean, who even cares anymore?

- [mouths words]
- Guess what this is.

Me, not caring.

You know who's ready to
crush game night? This guy.

That's the spirit.

You're gonna crush it.

Hey, Marina, I was thinking
about what you said earlier,

and I think that maybe we
should call off the bet.

I just noticed that
Sarah's really exhausted,

- so...
- Huh.

Bet's a bet, Denise.

[mouths words]

Oh.

You know what? You're right.

Bet's a bet. Let's do this thing.

And let's sweeten the deal.
Loser babysits for a month.

A high roller. I likes.

[dramatic music]

?

You guys okay?

- It's a person.
- Uh... Bedspring.

- I said it's a person.
- You can't talk.

So intense... like the
guys at Pali Capital

- trying to get in on Squarespace.
- Uh, pasta.

I made that reference
a couple weeks ago.

- Ponytail.
- None of these guys got it.

Slinky. Tornado.

- So, Tom, you're a writer now?
- Squigglies.

You always did love books.

Oh, so you do remember that summer.

Curlicue. Slip 'N Slide.

Well, I remember some things,

I mean, but most of
that summer is a blur.

Oh, yeah, totally. I mean, for me, too.

I barely remember it,

- but I also do remember a lot of it.
- More pasta.

- Tom.
- What?

- Game night. Focus.
- And time.

Boom, we're up.

Shirley Temple. A person?

All right, let's see what
I have to draw here.

You probably don't remember that dance.

- BOTH: Tom!
- Sorry.

Take your time, Tom. Run out the clock.

I'd say he's not always like this,

but he's literally always like this.

It's a thing.

A ball. The moon.

A... coconut.

Wonder what I'm gonna wear Friday.

- An eyeball.
- Maybe stilettos.

- An ovary.
- Something that says I'm a winner.

Draw something else.

Sorry, it's like I'm just
kind of distracted.

Okay, this isn't gonna work.

Jessica, I'm sorry, I have
a lot riding on this game.

Why didn't you meet Tom that
night at the camp dance?

W-what?

She brought it up first, not me.

Jessica, you don't have to answer this.

Exactly. Your mouth, your choice.

Not that it matters, but time.

Okay, um...

the truth is I...

got food poisoning that night.

I, um, told one of the
counselors to tell you,

but obviously that didn't
happen. I-I'm so sorry.

Wow.

Uh, yeah, I guess that's
all I needed to hear.

Thank you.

- Great.
- Okay, we're good.

Finally, closure.

It was a lollipop. [chuckles]

Okay, I just ran this
into Connor's garage.

- Car.
- Bumper.

Department of Motor...

- Vehicles. Vehicle?
- Yes.

- That was too easy.
- Rigged.

You're just jealous. Go ahead, baby.

Um, food poisoning.

Vomit. Sickness. Give more clues.

I'm sorry, Jessica, you
said food poisoning?

- ALL: Tom!
- [buzzer sounds]

Have you never played a game before?

- This says zebra.
- [buzzer sounds]

You've been Taboo'd.

I just can't get this out of my head.

Everyone at camp eats the same food,

and you're the only one who got sick?

How could you possibly know that?

I was very close to the nurse.

I bet it was those jellybeans
that your mom gave you

in that care package...
do you remember that?

I did like those jelly beans.

My daughter has a whole candy
room... I'll hook you up.

- Hang on.
- [buzzer sounds]

You can't get food poisoning
from jelly beans.

- Now you're a toxicologist?
- Oh, time.

It's our turn. Okay.

This is an athletic event
played at a diamond.

I'm sorry. It just doesn't add up.

Please tell me. I mean, I won't be mad.

It was Matt Stillman
from bunk 12, wasn't it?

Tom, it's been a real pleasure,
but I think you should leave.

Oh, come on, I just... I need to know.

Please. I won't be mad, I swear.

Fine.

The truth is it was Matt Spillman.

- Stillman.
- Stillman.

Matt Stillman! I knew it. I knew it!

All these years... oh, Matt Stillman.

He and I went swimming that night,

and then we kissed on the dock.

I'm sorry, I was a dumb teenager.

[sighs]

Wow.

This is actual closure.

You know, I thought,
before, I had closure,

but this is, like... this
is, like, real closure.

Thank you, Jessica.
Our chapter is now completed.

And I can go complete
my chapter. [chuckles]

Whew!

[chuckles] Feels good, doesn't it?

Should we call it a night?

When the host tell setup
to go, you go, so...

- No! We are tied.
- [buzzer sounding]

Absolutely not.

When we start game
night, we finish night.

[buzzer sputters]

I think we broke it.

- It's not a good one.
- Ooh.

- Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.
- You're gonna fail.

- Whoa.
- No, no, no, no.

ALL: Oh!

- Pew!
- Okay. All right, calm down.

She has to put it on the top still.

Don't screw up.

Don't get too nervous.

Oh, my gosh. Don't... no.

- High cinco.
- Matt Stillman couldn't swim.

- Oh, God.
- No, not again.

Matt Stillman couldn't swim.
He was terrified of water.

Remember he had that
meltdown at that kayak race?

Yet you're saying that the two
of you were swimming around

like a couple of water nymphs?

Tom, we are so close to winning.

- Maybe I should go.
- No, no, no.

Tom, you should go.
He just called you a nymph.

Why can't this be a normal game night?

- You're acting crazy.
- This is just like "Saw."

This is just like the movie "Saw."

So embarrassing. We're,
like, in front of people...

Embarrassing?

[all shouting]

Stop! Stop! It wasn't
Matt Stillman, okay?

It was me. I kissed Jessica. I'm sorr...

I'm sorry.

The blocks fell during your turn, so...

But that's not important right now.

You've been hiding this
from me for over 20 years?

I was hoping that you
would forget about it?

You dried my tears on the bus ride home,

and the whole time, you knew
you were the cause of them.

I'm sorry, okay?

I felt awful about it then,
and I feel awful now.

I-I didn't mean to betray you.

- Why did you do it?
- I don't know!

I don't know, okay? I...

I had feelings for a girl
for the first time ever,

and...

I was ashamed and confused.

If I told you the truth then,
it would have meant coming out,

and I couldn't even come out to myself.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I-I didn't know.

It's okay. You couldn't have known.

No, I've been self-centered. I mean...

this whole time I thought that Jessica

was a chapter in my book, but...

I mean, she's really a chapter in yours.

Thank you.

You want to... Should we hug?

- No, not really.
- Oh, okay.

Come here.

Look, Sarah, we got to be
more open with each other.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Is there anything else from the past

that you want to get off your chest?

Stop. No, that was it.

Okay.

I'm the one who broke Dad's train set.

- I got grounded for that!
- I know.

- Choo-choo!
- Get off of me!

Well, I would've won

if your husband was capable
of normal human behavior.

Hey, I take no pleasure in this.

That's a lie. I am taking
so much pleasure in this.

This is not a good look on you.

You ditched my brother
to kiss my sister.

Is that weird for you?

No. Come on, it was,
like, a million years ago.

And unlike them, I'm
actually a functioning adult.

- It's quite a family.
- Yeah. You have no idea.

Maybe our next date can
be just the two of us.

Why, was this night not
romantic enough for you?

[chuckles]

Hey, I'm making Peanut
Butter White Russians.

Who wants some?

- Uh, yes, please.
- Yeah.

You don't spend that much time
with your siblings, do you?

No. No, no, no. Of course not.
Yeah, we only do game night,

- like, once a month.
- Oh.

I guess we do do brunch every weekend.

And Sarah I see all the time now,

'cause she's actually a counselor
at my daughter's school.

For Halloween, we're all going
trick-or-treating with the kids.

We're doing, like, a group theme.

I'll put you on the costume thread.

And Marina I watch all
the 49ers games with.

Denise, she's, like, a
adviser/consultant to my business now.

And sometimes we'll
just call each other,

just out of the blue, for
no reason, just to say hi.

[chuckles awkwardly]

This isn't gonna work, is it?

[exhales sharply]

It was fun.

Okay, who's ready for an early bedtime?

- [babies crying]
- Wonderful.

Look, we shouldn't be that late.

And if you want to order pizza
or something, that's cool.

- We'll pay you back.
- Tom, we won the bet.

- You don't have to be nice.
- Hold on.

I have a proposition for you.

Double or nothing...
two months of babysitting.

No blackout dates,

no heads-up, no pretending
like you're not home.

- Two months?
- Two months.

What about dinner with Sof�a?

I mean, technically, she's my boss.

Two months of babysitting, Tom.

- Set it up.
- Uh, what's happening?

Well, looks like it's game night again.

Oh.

Hey, uh, you never met my
college girlfriend, did you?

- [both chuckle]
- Arianna.

- How could I forget?
- Okay. [chuckles]

- Very funny.
- Mm.

Just to clarify, that was a...
that was a joke, right?
