Too Much Season 1 Episode 3
Transcript
00:00You
00:30How did your gig go on Friday?
00:39Yeah, very good. Thank you. We're having a nice time here in Mid-West-South Fest.
00:48And we're here to promote the single extraterrestrial lady parts.
00:56We have a band called Fast Ghost.
00:59Based out of London.
01:02And public service announcement.
01:05I lost my passport yesterday or the day before.
01:09So please, if you see Felix Remen's passport,
01:12please can you send it to base camp.
01:18And I will find it. And I will thank you, reward you.
01:26Oh God, help us. Did not know you were there.
01:31Can we chat a moment?
01:33Wow, that's never good.
01:36Listen Jessica, I like you.
01:41You're perfectly adequate to have around.
01:44But I brought you to London because I'd heard that you always got the job done.
01:50Now, on stage since you've arrived, you seem to have been at loose ends.
01:56Hmm? I don't know.
01:58Ah, hush.
01:59James Wenlick Rice starts prep in two weeks.
02:02This is a man who's won an Academy Award.
02:05Of course, for a bird in a pipe, a searing exploration of sex, workers.
02:09Yeah, I haven't seen it.
02:10But I need you to be fully present and accounted for,
02:15because he's an incredibly complex director to handle.
02:18Yeah, I'm so excited to meet him.
02:20I feel like moving across the ocean is a little intense sometimes,
02:23but I feel like I'm really adjusting.
02:25Fabulous.
02:26Josie has a list of ten behaviors to avoid from here on out.
02:31Look at me.
02:32Now, some of them are cultural, some are personal,
02:36but all of them will benefit you in life wherever you go after here.
02:41Thanks.
02:43Okay.
02:44Um, you've been eating quite smelly lunches,
02:48including a very few antisocial flavor of crisps, such as prawn.
02:53You played a few voice memos from your mom out loud,
02:57and she's not possessed of the gentlest tone.
02:59Like, that one actually is kind of true, so maybe just, like, you know, quiet.
03:03And you say, I have to pee,
03:04which forces us to visualize what you're doing in there
03:06instead of saying you're just bobbed through.
03:08When you, like, change your shoes,
03:10just maybe do it, like, before you get into the office,
03:12because John is really sensitive to smell,
03:14and he says that your feet smell bad,
03:17and I feel really awkward saying that to you.
03:18We don't know for sure that they're mine.
03:19We don't.
03:20Smelling, because I feel like other people do change their shoes as well.
03:23No limitation.
03:28Stay while they stay unfolded.
03:30What are you looking at?
03:32I love it.
03:33Complication.
03:35The lines of space didn't...
03:37You're getting bored of it.
03:39Looking at...
03:41See our reflection.
03:42Can't remember the next line.
03:45Can you do, like, a little trilly, like a little...
03:47I feel like we should get you in on the backing.
03:52Yeah!
03:53That's amazing.
03:55That drum was amazing.
03:57I'm fabulous.
03:58Yeah, nice.
03:59You're getting tighter every day, man.
04:00You're getting tighter every day.
04:01So how long are you saying we should hold it for now?
04:04Does it feel like the right length to you?
04:06One.
04:07Two.
04:08Three.
04:09Are you for real?
04:13So, Felix Rahman.
04:15Rahman.
04:16Rahman, sorry.
04:17Are you looking for work?
04:19Yeah.
04:20Yeah, but like I was saying, the main thing I've been doing is trying to write songs and stuff.
04:25Uh-huh.
04:26Is that paying work?
04:28You know, so I have been paid to make music, just not to make my own music.
04:32But, like, it will become paying work.
04:34It's just the problem is if I'm spending all my time trying to find other work,
04:38then I don't have the time to make that work.
04:41Like, my main work.
04:44So I have applied for lots of different jobs.
04:46It's just, I don't know, when your CV says session guitarist in a bunch of punk,
04:51trash punk, whatever bands, they're not jumping to make you the manager of a pasta restaurant.
04:55Do you know what I mean?
04:57Like, I'm not trying to be a brat about it.
04:59It's just it's taken me a while to get to...
05:02Like, I don't do drugs anymore.
05:04Like, I don't drink.
05:05I'm a normal...
05:07It's just, like, for a couple of months.
05:10You know...
05:12I'm actually a bit of a muso myself.
05:15I have a band here, the Job Centre Jug Jammers.
05:19Oh, cool.
05:21Is that, like, you play the jokes, or...?
05:24It's a rhythm and blues 90s style.
05:26We just call it that because of the multiple Js,
05:29because of Janet and John and Jimmy.
05:32Right.
05:34I might.
05:35It doesn't matter.
05:38Well, do you want to play me some of your tracks?
05:40I'll let you know if they have promise.
05:43Dear Wendy Jones, do you ever have trouble being present where you actually are?
05:57Like, do you ever find yourself, say, having dinner with my ex-boyfriend
06:01while you're thinking about your ex-boyfriend?
06:04Or are you, like, studying Buddhism in addition to everything else you got going on?
06:08Okay.
06:09We have a lighting budget, bitch.
06:11I can't believe you can spend all that time on numbers.
06:14I can't count beyond ten.
06:15It makes my head hurt.
06:17You can.
06:18You just don't want to.
06:20Do you want to?
06:21No, but I want to have a job, and I do what I have to do in order to have a job.
06:26I mean, isn't adulthood just a series of things that we don't want to do but we have to?
06:31No, I think it's, like, trying to make sure you can do the things that you actually do want to do.
06:36Is this the job you always wanted?
06:38What kind of question is that?
06:40Literally just a question.
06:42Because I'm curious about you.
06:44Oh.
06:45Well, yeah, I mean, it's similar to what I really wanted to do.
06:50What about you? Have you always wanted to be a musician?
06:54Uh, not really.
06:56I mean, I'm not saying I became a musician out of revenge, but I think I got my first guitar when I was 15.
07:02I was trying to impress Angelica Proctor.
07:05She took my virginity in her mum's bed at a house party.
07:08And then she dumped me for some guy that she met at the Stone Circle at Glastonbury.
07:12Well, was she impressed?
07:14She did actually come to a gig, like, ten years later and tried to shag me, so.
07:18Tried?
07:19As in, yeah, very much successfully managed to shag me.
07:23Um, yeah.
07:25I have a question.
07:27Um, do you know how Americans are really horny for the British accent?
07:30Like, everything you say sounds really sexy and chic.
07:33Does it go both ways?
07:34Like, do you guys think that our accents are, like, really cute?
07:38Um, I find your accent cute.
07:42So, no.
07:47I, um, I can't stay up late tonight.
07:50I have a meeting at 8.30.
07:52What, like, a dinner meeting?
07:54No, like, a breakfast meeting, like, in the morning, before breakfast.
07:58A.M.?
07:59Yeah.
08:00Gross.
08:01Anyways, we've been staying up really late and it's been really lovely, but my boss had
08:05to talk to me today and it was...
08:07Uh-oh.
08:08Did you get bollocking?
08:09Uh, I would never let my boss fuck me, especially in the ass.
08:15What is wrong with you?
08:16What the fuck?
08:18A bollocking.
08:20Like, did he tell you off?
08:22Did he have a word with you?
08:24Like, I gave him a bollocking.
08:25I've never heard that.
08:26Are you making that up?
08:28No, that's like an English phrase.
08:30That's like an idiom.
08:31Like...
08:32You're literally lying.
08:33Google it.
08:34It doesn't mean fucking someone in the ass.
08:36I got scared that you thought I cheated on you.
08:38I would never do that to my fiancé.
08:40I really need to be on my A-game.
08:43So, tonight you can't keep me awake.
08:45I think you're the one who's been keeping me awake.
08:47Here, let me help you with that.
08:49You're deleting.
08:50Sorry.
08:51You're adding and deleting.
08:53Sorry.
08:54You're not even going to eat your foe.
08:56Foe, sure.
08:58I'm going to eat it.
08:59Oh, my God.
09:00Okay.
09:01Let's have a do-over.
09:02Can't eat this cold.
09:03It won't be divine that way.
09:06You know, you can be a little genius with your spreadsheet,
09:09but I've noticed that you're not always that kind to yourself.
09:12What do you mean?
09:14Well, like eating your foe freezing cold, for example.
09:17Or washing your face with those really rough towels that you've got.
09:21Or sleeping with the curtains wide open.
09:23If I don't sleep with the curtains open,
09:25then how will I know it's morning?
09:26And if I don't know it's morning,
09:27I'll just keep sleeping and sleeping,
09:28and I might as well be asleep for forever.
09:30Like, I might as well be dead.
09:31I'll tell you when it's morning.
09:33I can be the curtains.
09:35I'm sorry.
09:36I'm sorry.
09:37I'm sorry.
09:46Sorry.

13:50please don't do that
13:51where are you going?
13:53well I have to go to the bathroom
13:55because I'm not about that UTI life
13:57is that why you're walking like that?
14:00you know this walk it's a female classic
14:01yeah I've seen it before
14:04I just wanted to hear you say it out loud
14:06that you're basically smuggling cum now
14:07here it comes smuggler
14:10have you got a permit?
14:16hey baby
14:17would you still love me if I was a worm?
14:22um
14:22what's the context?
14:24hey
14:25what?
14:26I mean when I meet you
14:27are you actually a worm
14:28or is this some sort of
14:29Kafka-esque transformation?
14:31like I become a worm
14:33like bam you wake up
14:34I'm next to you
14:34I'm a worm
14:35um
14:36I'd miss you
14:39I'd mourn you
14:41I'd be in recovery my whole life
14:43from losing you
14:43mhm
14:44I'd keep you in a little terrarium
14:46and feed you the best worm food
14:48mhm
14:48but I don't think our relationship
14:50would remain romantic
14:52that's a good answer
14:54baby
14:56would you still love me if I were a worm?
14:58I refuse to be party to this trend
15:00think about it
15:01some kid in Arkansas makes a video
15:03and what we're all supposed to emulate it
15:05in our spare time
15:06sounds pretty nonsensical doesn't it?
15:12would you still love me if I was a worm?
15:15would you still love me if I was a worm?
15:17would you still love me if I was a worm?
15:19Wendy some days my mind just loops over and over
15:22as I think about the fact that if we hung out
15:24you probably would love me
15:25you'd be like
15:26wow Jess
15:27she's so real
15:29instead you've been fed some story
15:31that makes me feel impossible to empathize with
15:33just wait until we show the boys this
15:36there's boys coming over?
15:38well just at the high school dance
15:39you want to try?
15:43wow it's really chic in French
15:44but maybe you feel sorry for me
15:54like a girl who really did become a worm
15:56you're everything I disdain in this world
16:00wait why?
16:02because
16:02because I want to hook up with you
16:04can I hook up with you?
16:08I mean
16:09you can do whatever you want
16:11you have the power
16:12well what if I want you to own me?
16:15um
16:19I wasn't
16:19sure
16:20the way
16:21I felt like
16:22rather than me
16:23wait
16:23but I finally
16:25like
16:26it would be
16:27to be
16:28help
16:31the way
16:33and
16:34I wasn't
16:36happy
16:38I didn't
16:39and
16:40happy
16:40and
16:41feel
16:41well
16:41Um, I wasn't having a bathroom problem.
16:46I was texting my mom, just so you know.
16:49Oh, I didn't think you were having a bathroom problem.
16:54Are you okay?
16:56Uh, yeah, I'm just having a cigarette.
17:01Come here.
17:03Come here.
17:11You really have to go to sleep.
17:18Okay.
17:19Okay.
17:20I'm not stopping you.
17:21Okay.
17:34Now this is relaxing.
17:36So you're, like, staring at your phone all the way through Paddington, and then now this
17:43show about people getting their dreams shattered by Alan Carr is somehow chilling you out?
17:49I mean, yeah, I feel like you have to watch people whose lives are worse than yours to
17:54relax.
17:55I mean, if I really wanted to conk out, if I wanted to, like, fall asleep right away, I'd
17:59watch Dateline.
18:00We'd be watching, like, an unsolved murder about a respected female pastor.
18:04Right.
18:05I feel like that really puts yourself in perspective.
18:08I mean, she's really not coming back from that, and it's really sad.
18:11It's also, like, it's sad, and it's, oh, I hate watching, it's, I hate that happened
18:15to her.
18:16Oh, I'm falling asleep.
18:17Okay.
18:18So, murder, murder is relaxing for you, but, like, a sweet film about a bear, what, it's,
18:27like, giving you a panic attack?
18:28Like, what?
18:29It makes me feel like I can't relate as much.
18:33I'm not, I'm not the bear, you know?
18:36Like, the bear found his family, found his people, and look at me.
18:40I did it.
18:41But there is, like, a bit of Paddington about you, too, don't you think?
18:46What do you mean?
18:48Like, I don't know, the way you've come over from America with, like, a little tag around
18:53your neck that says, please look after this girl.
18:56Like, I don't heat everyone's needles up.
18:59And for some reason, like, I'm genuinely worried about the amount of time you're spending on
19:02your phone and stuff.
19:03I don't know, there's something about you that makes me want to take care of you.
19:12Well, anyways, you like me now, but what if I gold pants you?
19:15What if you what?
19:17What?
19:18What if I gold pants you?
19:19That's what we used to call it in college, where you'd be really horny for someone and
19:23then suddenly repulse.
19:25Like, my friend Jeanette used to date this guy who was really sexy and cool and mature,
19:29and then one day, he came to pick her up for a date, and he was wearing gold pants.
19:34Oh.
19:35Having ever been gold pants?
19:37Hmm.
19:39I mean, there is one girl who, like, basically, we just have sex every year on my birthday
19:48for, like, nine years.
19:50Wow, that's a commitment.
19:51And then one year I woke up in her bed the morning after, and she was eating the leftover
19:58Chinese food that we'd had the night before.
20:01Okay, so no food in bed, I guess.
20:03No, like, I eat in bed all the time.
20:05I literally eat my meals in bed.
20:06But it was something more about, like, her eyes were just sort of really vacant.
20:14Like, she wasn't even enjoying it, because that would almost be hot in a way.
20:17But there was just this look that she had of, I guess, desperation or, like, a need that
20:27would never be fulfilled.
20:29There was something about it that just really, I don't know, I guess it scared me.
20:37Does that count?
20:38Is that gold pants material?
20:39Yeah, you got the ick.
20:43How long have you been sober?
20:46Um, like, two and a half weeks.
20:49It's actually been, like, no, I'm actually doing really well.
20:58I couldn't tell.
20:59I've been, like, nearly three years.
21:01Okay.
21:02Of, like, sober sober.
21:03Because I stopped, obviously, I stopped the harder stuff a bit before the booze.
21:06But, like, I'm not a member of a program or anything, but I do have one of those, like,
21:11silly counter apps on my phone.
21:12What was, like, your rock bottom?
21:15Oh, man.
21:16Like, there was one time when, uh, I went on a bender and had sex with my sister.
21:26His friend.
21:27My sister's friend.
21:28Oh, my God.
21:30That's psychotic.
21:32You scared me so bad.
21:33I was, like, sitting here thinking, like, I guess we could talk through it.
21:36People make mistakes.
21:38It was just, like, a really messy night.
21:40And, like, we'd known each other since we were ten.
21:42We were never really that into each other.
21:44But I woke up and, like, was completely out of it.
21:48I think she must have been on a period because it looked like I'd murdered her.
21:51And I'd shat myself.
21:53She had, like, a mirrored ceiling for some reason so I could see the whole thing.
21:57Oh, my God.
21:57And, like, the weird thing is, like, that wasn't even enough to stop me.
22:03In the end, I think it was just, like, I don't know, trying to be a musician or whatever.
22:07And, like, if you're fucked the whole time, you can't write music, can you?
22:11Or you can, but it'll be fucking shit, so.
22:14And then when I started using, I started to remember all this stuff from the past.
22:20Like what?
22:22Oh, you know, just, like, boring stuff.
22:31Hello, mother.
22:32I mean, honestly, I could take out a restraining order against her at this point.
22:40I mean, if you're talking that much, she's not really giving you a chance, is she?
22:44I think with British families, it's more like birds.
22:48They beat you out of the nest the second you don't need your worms chewing, do you know what I mean?
22:52Well, Jewish women are like clothespins.
22:54It hurts when they attach themselves to you.
22:58Nice.
22:58What about your dad?
23:02Well, he died.
23:04Yeah, he's dead.
23:05Oh.
23:06For real?
23:08Mm-hmm.
23:08Sorry.
23:10Why?
23:10Did you kill him?
23:15Seriously, what was he like?
23:16Um, well, he had Parkinson's disease, like, a really aggressive form called multiple systems atrophy.
23:27It's like if Parkinson's and Luke Garrick's disease had an evil baby, um, he could barely talk.
23:34And he would just sit in his easy chair all day and, like, watch old westerns, just Butch Cassidy over and over and over again.
23:44Yeah, but when I was younger, oh my God, there's no one I'd rather see.
23:54I'd be, like, stuck at an awful play date and then he'd walk in.
23:58Thank God.
23:59Hey, dog.
24:06All right, okay.
24:08You want to go?
24:09You got your stuff?
24:11Let's blow this popsicles down.
24:15This is a, I think it's a dog.
24:17You could make it a unicorn.
24:20A dog unicorn?
24:21Yeah.
24:22A dog unicorn?
24:23Okay.
24:25He had these, like, really delicate hands.
24:29He was really good at making things.
24:31I see.
24:32I loved watching him play with clay.
24:38Or roll a joint when he had friends over on Sunday for Christmas.
24:42Hey, hey, hey, go back to bed, honey.
24:44Go on.
24:46Go on.
24:47Yeah.
24:51He told us that everyone should be able to drive a car, roll a joint, and soft-boiled egg.
24:58At the same time.
25:00I can't do any of those things.
25:02He'd probably be fucking mortified.
25:05You could do your maths, though.
25:07Mm-hmm.
25:09Maths.
25:09Tell me about your parents.
25:18Do you think Astrid can see colours?
25:22Or do you think for dogs it's, like, the smells of the colours?
25:28Hang on.
25:29Hang on.
25:30Okay.
25:35Um...
25:36No, wait a second.
25:44Mm-hmm.
25:46Mm-hmm.
25:47Oh, fuck it.
25:49Fuck it.
25:50Fuck.
25:51Oh, fuck.
25:53Sorry.
25:55One more.
25:56Okay.
25:56No, fuck.
25:57Okay.
25:58I got bail.
25:59Sorry.
25:59White flag.
26:01Um.
26:02I'm all out of calm.
26:03Are you...
26:04Is everything okay?
26:05Like, you were yelling and...
26:07Yeah, no, sorry.
26:09I thought I...
26:09Did it come?
26:10...go for gold, but I guess I'm in my 30s now.
26:13I get it.
26:14It's nothing that, like, I did sexually, right?
26:18Like, I didn't make you feel uncomfortable or do something that you didn't like, or maybe
26:21I did something that you liked a lot, but I didn't do it for that long.
26:24I mean, I was trying to do a lot of sex stuff with a toothbrush.
26:26I don't know if that was coming across.
26:28If you could see me in the mirror doing, like, a lot of, like, oh, no, is she going to put
26:31it all the way in?
26:33How can you...
26:33You're sexy.
26:33You know you're sexy.
26:35What, are you fishing for compliments now?
26:37No.
26:38I love your body.
26:39I love everything about your body.
26:40I love how you fuck.
26:42Also, actually, one specific thing I've been meaning to tell you, you always have sex hair,
26:47which is really hot.
26:48Okay, enough.
26:49That's crazy.
26:49I thought I wanted the compliments.
26:51I don't know if I want any more.
26:54It's like I want the affirmation, but also I'm like, yeah, I know.
27:00I've always actually felt really hot, except for when I haven't.
27:03Okay.
27:04So...
27:05You know?
27:06When have you not felt hot?
27:08I think every woman's been told that she's, like, not a model.
27:13Even models are told that.
27:15I feel, like, embarrassed that I even said anything, so let's just forget it and just
27:19agree that we're both attracted to each other.
27:21I feel, like, insane for even bringing it up.
27:24Yeah, I mean, if I could paint, I would paint the shit out of you, for what it's worth.
27:29I'd paint your tits and your arse and your cute little mouth.
27:32It looks like a rose.
27:34Me?
27:34Yeah.
27:35Paint it all day.
27:40You're really hot.
27:41You know that.
27:42Thanks.
27:43I'm not that invested in being hot, but maybe you can, like, say some nice things about
27:50me.
27:51Seriously?
27:52Seriously?
27:53Yeah, I think I deserve it.
27:56Okay.
27:58I like that you're gentle, but also really naughty.
28:03Mm-hmm.
28:04And I like that you're logical, but, like, in a really wild way.
28:08And I like that, um, you know, usually I would go to sleep to try to pass the time quicker,
28:15but with you, I want to stretch it all out.
28:17Okay, so when I press play, you have to get to kissing, and you can't stop until the song's
28:26over.
28:27You're going to be really good because you're a musician.
28:29Okay.
28:29And how long is this song?
28:31Never you mind.
28:32It doesn't matter.
28:33You're going to be good at it.
28:35Okay.
28:35You have to, like, kind of kiss to the, um, music, you know?
28:38Okay, you ready?
28:39Mm-hmm.
28:40Now, when I press play, you've got to get to kissing, and you can't stop until the song
28:46is done.
28:46How long is this song?
28:48Oh, never you mind.
28:50Oh, never you mind.
29:20Sometimes, Wendy, life demands that you just show up and shut up, even if it's just for
29:28the length of a funkadelic song.
29:38What are you saying?
29:40Like, right now?
29:42Yeah, like, in your mind?
29:44Um, like, outer space, which is so weird, because I don't really care about outer space.
29:55What about you?
29:57I think I'm hiding in a bush, and I can hear the enemy troops approaching.
30:09But I've found a safe spot.
30:15I'm not going to get caught.
30:16Oh, really?
30:20Really?
30:32Oh, sorry.
30:34I'm not going to get caught.
30:57Why don't you go back
31:26To falling apart
31:28You were so good at that
31:32You're one in a million now
31:37You don't wanna take the time
31:40You just need to see all right
31:48Why don't you go back
31:52To falling apart
31:55You were so good at that
31:59You're one in a million now
32:03You don't wanna take the time
32:07You're just gonna be all right
32:11You don't wanna bring it
32:39You
33:09You
33:39You
34:09You
