Original subtitles

LAURA: Previously on "Casual"...

Now you know that if you marry Jordan,

you will spend every day thinking about me.

You want to ruin my life again?

Ruin it for yourself.

VALERIE: Why was she here, Alex?

Why was she in your house?

You take care of your relationships, I'll take care of mine.

I'm gonna burn your company to the ground.

Sarah told you, huh?

JENNIFER: Jack mentioned that he had a really good time with you.

VALERIE: He did? I mean, yeah. We did. I had fun.

I went back and he was gone.

Just checked out of the hotel.

I... I have the wrong room.

Shouldn't have gone over there.

I mean, one conversation on a roof.

Probably a normal Thursday for him.

Text me. Call me. But don't disappear.

Okay.

LAURA: I mean, all I wanted was a friend.

Is that so unreasonable?

VALERIE: The more you're dishonest with her,

the worse it's gonna get.

I thought it would be easier with a girl.

Why would you ever think that?

[birds chirping]

Hey.

SPENCER: Mm?

Get up.

SPENCER: Let me sleep.

I heard Alex in the garage.

I think he got the shotgun.

You don't have a shotgun.

Well,

maybe we do, maybe we don't.

I guess you just got to ask yourself one question.

[chuckles] Do I feel lucky?

Can you dodge buckshot in your weakened state?

Fucking nuthouse.

- You love it. - Whatever.

Good luck today.

Thanks.

Don't eat or drink anything beforehand.

Okay, Mom.

What?

I thought I'd just skip right to the nagging stage

of our relationship.

Uh-huh.

I'll bring you dinner later?

- No. - Yes.

[light music]

Go out the side door.

He'll be aiming at the front.

[sputters]

Hey, did you have sex in my hot tub?

Yes.

Can you not?

Okay.

Thank you.

Good talk.

Are you all right?

You look like hell.

Morning.

Good morning.

I'm Sarah.

Oh, yeah.

- Right, sorry. - Hello, Sarah.

- Who wants breakfast? - It's not necessary.

Did you learn how to poach an egg?

I did not.

Well, then it's necessary.

To be fair, egg poaching is the highest level of difficulty

in the egg-cooking hierarchy.

There is scrambled, fried,

hard-boiled, soft-boiled...

Shut up. Let me work.

So you, uh,

took home the boss's wife.

He's not my boss.

And how long is she staying?

I don't know. Till she's ready.

Hmm.

Well, this should be good.

[doorbell rings]

[groans]

What now?

[faucet running]

Alex Cole?

Yeah.

You've been served.

[chuckles]

Morning.

- Hmm. - What?

Uh, uh, my patient canceled their morning session.

Mm.

- A gift from the gods. - Mm.

She's agoraphobic and locked herself in a bedroom.

Perfect. She won't come looking for you.

[laughs]

- What? - [laughs]

Breakfast?

Think bigger.

You can go anywhere you want.

You can do anything you want.

- What do you do? - Um...

I... I take a walk.

[laughs]

Oh, my God. A walk?

Yeah. I'd take a walk.

And then I'd eat a sandwich the length of my arm.

Um, all right.

Where?

Um...

Fishing, floating

Hiking, or biking

The memories you'll make

When you visit High Trail Lake

- [laughs] - What...

is that?

It's just a commercial from when I was a kid.

High Trail Lake? Let's go.

No, it... well, it's too far.

It would take all day.

That's fine. I got all day. Cancel your afternoon.

No.

- No. - Why?

- Becau... - Patients cancel on you, right?

How many appointments do you have?

I have one.

Uh, is it a suicidal situation?

Well, I mean, I'd kill myself if I were her.

- [laughs] - No, I...

That's awesome. I love that. All right.

- She's gonna be fine. - Didn't mean it that way.

- There you go. - I...

- Pack a bag. - Ugh.

JACK: I'll pick you up in an hour.

[door shuts]

[shower running]

You're being sued for negligence.

Negligence?

And violating your company's morality clause.

W... this is slander.

Hey, can I make a couple of phone calls from your room?

ALEX: Of course. SARAH: How were the eggs?

- Delicious. - SARAH: Told you.

Um... [whispers] Alex...

I mean, this is vindictive and excessive.

This guy's trying to destroy my life.

Why is Sarah Finn in your house?

Valerie.

You're here early.

Fishing, floating

Hiking, or biking

The memories you'll make

When you visit High Trail Lake

I know that song.

[humming]

...you'll make

When you visit High Trail

[phone chiming]

[light music]

- [gasps] - Jesus, fuck.

Oh, sorry. Val, did I scare you?

Uh...

Uh, yeah.

SARAH: I'm sorry. [laughing]

I am sorry. Aw.

Sorry we didn't get to talk the other day,

but it's so good to see you.

VALERIE: Yeah.

Are those my flip-flops?

Oh, yeah. Is that okay?

Oh, sure.

[ringtone chiming]

Oh, fuck.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

I've got to take this. Sorry again.

Cal... calm down, Mom. I'm here.

I've alread... I've already apologized to...

Yes. I know. I know.

I will... I will. I will call...

I don't know if she feels comfortable here.

Alex.

- Val, there are bigger problems. - Like what?

What is that?

- Don't worry about it. - Leon.

It's, uh, a small legal hiccup.

ALEX: Val.

It's not...

Did I not tell you that this would happen?

Did I not tell you

that this would totally blow up in your face?

[sighs] We'll take care of it.

Who? You and Leon?

Yeah. Me and Leon.

He's a sound tech.

- Composer. - He's a composer.

Supposed to be at the lake.

I'm supposed to be eating a sandwich,

but no, I don't get to.

- Val... - ...deal with this.

Val, give me that.

Give it to me.

You don't need to do anything.

[phone chiming]

Go.

Go on. Go.

We got it.

[door slams]

[sighs]

What do we do now?

I have a friend.

Maybe he could help.

What friend?

Hey. How was family night?

The usual.

Just the three of us, sipping scotch,

watching "The Ice Storm."

Fun.

Hey, uh, Liza Anne's playing a secret show tonight at Largo.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, we should go.

Oh.

Here. You have a lash.

[blows]

Um, I was actually thinking

of visiting Spencer at the hospital.

He's always in the hospital.

Hanging out alone in a cancer ward.

Hey, fine.

Look, we'll bring him dinner and then we'll hit the show.

Just text me after class.

You know, he's just... his whole life,

he's done whatever he wanted,

just never really thinking about any consequences,

like and eight-year-old.

You want to put a little music on?

[light pop music playing]

Oh, my God, if you just...

if you just knew how many times

I've put my life on hold for him.

What do you mean?

Oh, just...

one summer I went to summer camp,

and he gained 30 pounds.

Vassar? Well, that's too far.

Backpacking in Asia?

Forget that.

And for what? For what?

So he could bring his ex-girlfriend

back into our house.

I get it. I...

you know, my sister married an idiot,

but I can't live her life for her, you know?

Well, I'm not sure our situations are comparable.

I'm just saying, you got to let him make his own mistakes.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, uh, thanks for this.

Ah, of course, mate.

We missed you at darts.

Yeah. Deadlines.

You play darts?

- The Grawmeyer Prize? - Yeah.

It's a long shot, but why not?

- What's that? - Good on you.

- Fingers crossed. - Cheers, mate.

ALEX: Okay. Can we get back to this?

Oh, yeah, um, morality clauses,

they're almost impossible to uphold.

So it's an empty threat?

Well, is your other partner on board with this?

Who? Paul?

I don't know.

Well, if he's not, then it's just an inconvenience.

We should all play darts sometime.

It'd be fun.

[keyboard clicking on phone]

- [light music playing] - _

Is, uh, everything okay?

Uh... oh, yeah. Sorry.

It's... patient.

Is that the agoraphobic?

Um, no, this is a... this is a different one.

This is a narcissist with no boundaries.

- It's like Bob. - Who?

Like Bob from "What About Bob?"

You don't know "What About Bob?"

I... I... yeah, I know it's a movie.

- I... that I haven't seen. - Really?

Bill Murray, he plays, like, a crazy person

who invades his therapist's life.

He marries his daughter and has to move in.

And then Richard Dreyfuss plays the therapist

and he has a stroke or something

and has to silently watch as his life crashes in.

It's dark as shit.

Um, do you mind if we make a pit stop?

- Sure. - Thank you.

I'm so sorry about this.

No, this is part of the adventure.

I like stopping.

I'll be quick.

JACK: What do you want, blackberries?

Strawberries? Raspberries? Cherries?

- Um... - Choose wisely.

You can tell a lot about a person

by their fruit preference.

You... you pick.

- All right, I'm a kumquat guy. - Okay.

Don't be sorry if I come back with a lot of kumquats.

[line trilling]

SARAH: Hello?

Uh, hi. Sarah?

Valerie. Hi.

How's the... how's the road trip?

It's... great.

It's just great.

How's the hot tub?

- SARAH: It is hot. - I'll bet.

- SARAH: Relaxing too. - Yeah, that's good.

Hey, is Alex around?

SARAH: Uh, he's not, no.

Have you tried his cell?

He's good on text.

You know, I haven't.

Think I'll do that.

Okay, great.

- Great. - SARAH: Bye...

[phone beeps]

God.

Mm!

- All right, homestretch. - Okay.

Want to get to it?

- Oh, wow, cherries. - I know.

Great. Thanks.

- Okay. - Mmm.

So good. [spits]

Hey.

Hi.

Hey, can I... can I ask you a question?

I guess so.

When you and Valerie moved in,

what was Alex like?

Um,

I think he was happy.

He never encouraged you to get your own place?

Did he encourage you?

Well, it'll...

it'll all work out as it should.

You staying for dinner?

No, uh, my...

this guy I'm seeing,

uh, he's in the hospital.

Oh.

I hope he gets better soon.

He has terminal cancer.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, if you think you'll be hungry later, let me know.

I'm making steak.

- Paul. - What do you want from me?

You did this to yourself.

I like to think I'm the victim

of a series of unfortunate coincidences.

Just stop.

He said he would burn Snooger to the ground.

Do you see any smoke?

Where's my lawsuit, huh? My threats?

Oh, they're coming.

Once he's bled me dry, he'll turn on you.

What, you don't believe me?

You're not the most reliable narrator.

Remember when we started?

When I first decided to strike out on my own?

They said, "You don't want Paul.

"You want Auggie Bremmer.

"He's the guy that can launch a product.

He's triple A rated."

- Alex. - And what'd I say?

What'd I say, Paul?

You said Auggie Bremmer was a weasel

and you wanted me to steer the ship.

Yes, and I need you back behind that wheel.

Come on.

What do you want me to do?

We sit him down and say we will not be intimidated.

You and I will not be pushed around.

We started this fucking company.

We are Snooger.

It's not even a real word.

No, it's not.

We made it up.

You and me.

You're a prick. Okay.

- Let's do this. - Fuck.

How are you feeling, dear?

SPENCER: Uh, hanging in.

Sweet of you to keep him company.

Oh, I'm just waiting for you to leave

so I can look for pain pills.

Mm-hmm.

- I don't like her. - Mm.

Me neither.

Call me if she gets out of hand.

Awfully territorial.

Mm, ah, I'm her favorite.

Yeah, I bet.

I feel for her though.

It's a tough beat.

Cancer ward?

Yeah, a lot of turnover.

Yeah.

So what is that stuff?

Chemical cocktail.

It's a new batch of poison.

Is it any good?

Doubt it.

It's worth a shot though.

Yeah, it's not my first trial.

You know, at some point, you got to stop pretending.

There are worse things.

Hi, kids.

Oh, shit.

Two for the price of one?

Leave no man behind. Right?

[birds chirping]

Is that the same patient?

Uh, yeah.

It's... it's a full-time job.

Must be hard to be so invested in other people.

I like to think I help them.

Or you enable them.

Can we put the phone away

and enjoy me here?

Look at this, there's trees,

there's the sun shining.

This is a beautiful day.

Fishing, floating

Making memories and shit at High Trail Lake

Or whatever it goes. I don't know.

Come on, this is your spot.

This is great.

Actually, I'm...

I've, um,

I've never been here before.

What are you talking about?

I wanted to.

I asked, but my parents never took me

and Alex never cared,

and now I can't even enjoy it

because of this fucking patient that...

Forget the patient.

Do you want to see the lake?

Yeah.

I want to see the fucking lake.

Then let's see the fucking lake.

[upbeat music]

Oh, my God.

Yes!

[laughter]

This has to stop.

Yes, things have happened,

things that I'm sure you both regret,

but we have a company to run.

We have a responsibility to our employees

and our users

and I will not sit back and watch

as you two try to wrestle for control...

I've give you $2.5 million for your ownership stake in Snooger.

Cash.

You don't think there's a hypersexualized quality

- to Selena Gomez? - Oh, of course I do.

It's just not new.

Like Britney, Christina, Shakira...

their empires are built on the bones of 12-years-olds.

- [clicks tongue] I love Shakira. - Mm. Shocker.

I also love Ciara and she's a born-again now.

Ah, tapping into a whole new market of confused sexuality.

Whatever gets you radio play.

LAURA: You still listen.

SPENCER: Of course I listen.

Who doesn't listen?

I listen.

I do too.

Hey, when did you guys start fucking behind my back?

Uh, behind your back?

Oh, so you... you weren't trying to keep it a secret?

Why would we do that?

No reason. Just...

I mean, we had a thing.

Is that what you thought?

I mean, it felt pretty clear

when we were making out on the street

or having sex in that guy's dorm room.

Well, I, uh,

I guess we just feel differently.

Shit. You're cold.

I'm sorry. I...

Jesus Christ, just fucking feel something.

Are you afraid to admit that you like a girl?

Are you worried that this identity might stick?

I guess I just like him better.

[laughs] Okay.

[sighs]

Hey.

- Stop. - Leave me alone.

Why can't we just be friends?

It doesn't work that way.

I can't just turn it off.

I shouldn't have done it.

Then why did you, if you don't even like me?

I thought it was what you wanted.

So it was a pity fuck?

God, that's even worse.

I'm sorry. It's not that. It's...

It was fun and then...

I don't know.

[scoffs]

Good luck with Spencer.

Hope he dies before you get bored with him too.

All you had to do was nothing.

Sit back and collect a paycheck.

You had the American dream

and you forced yourself awake.

ALEX: I don't want your blood money.

You want to run this company? You do it with me in tow.

Fine.

You can hang around, watch me fire your employees.

Watch me blackball them in the industry.

You know they'll blame you, the founder.

The guy who started it all.

Or you can sign.

They all get to keep their jobs

and Snooger becomes a line item on a spreadsheet I glance at

every other quarter.

$65,000.

One year's salary for my personal assistant.

Oh, by the way,

tell Sarah I say hello.

You two deserve each other.

[soft music]

VALERIE: It should be here.

JACK: I'm pretty sure we'd notice a lake.

VALERIE: No, but it should be here.

I mean, where the fuck is it?

Right?

Hey, excuse me!

Hi. Hi.

We're looking for High Trail Lake.

Oh, you're... you're standing in it.

Drought dried it up.

JACK: [laughs]

VALERIE: Wow.

The drought dried it up.

Of course.

[laughter]

- Of course there's no lake. - [sighs]

Why would there be a lake?

It's not like it formed millions of years ago

and sat, slowly evaporating

into goddamn, fucking nothing.

Why would there be a lake?

- [laughing] - Okay.

Well, let's...

I mean, I fell for it this time.

I really... I really did.

I thought, "It's gonna be different this time.

It's... it's gonna happen."

Okay, let's take some deep breaths, we'll regroup...

Okay, you know what? Just fuck off.

I'm sorry. I...

It's just, you live in a fucking hotel room.

And that's great. That's your life.

But I have people who need me.

Like, need me, and when I go looking for the lake,

I leave them behind.

Who? Who are you talking about here?

Your brother?

Um, he cannot take care of himself,

so if I don't do it...

Then what?

If he needs your help, then why hasn't he called you?

Do you need an excuse?

You need a reason to put yourself second?

You don't belong to him.

[Bahamas' "Bitter Memories" playing]

MAN: When you, you get through

Whatever it is you been up to

SARAH: Hi.

I know it's a clich?, but I had to distract myself.

Uh, a New York strip from the sous vide.

And I...

I had a couple things delivered from the store.

I-is that all right?

I figured something to match the new chairs.

I don't know.

If you hate it, I can send it back.

Huh?

No.

No, I-I like it.

Okay, good.

Hi.

Hey.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

I feel lucky to be here.

So thank you.

MAN: Gives you every little thing he's got

Strength and care

Knows that you are a rare bird

One who can't be tamed

Still, it's all the men before me

They're the ones I blame

You can add my name to the long, heavy chain

Around you

Though the memory of us...

VALERIE: Hi, this is Valerie. I'm not here right now.

Please leave a message.

[sighs]

MAN: Wouldn't trade all those bitter memories for her
