Finally Apart Season 2 Episodes 1/2: Moving In/At The Store


CATHERINE walks up the steps to NATE’s house.

CATHERINE [thinking to herself]
Remember Catherine, this is your house too now. Not just Nate’s.

CATHERINE rings the doorbell. NATE opens the door.

NATE
Catherine! You don’t have to ring the doorbell to your own house!

CATHERINE
Oh, right. I’m still getting used to this.

NATE
Does it feel weird living with a guy who isn’t your husband?

CATHERINE
First off, ex-husband. Second, I never thought about it but now it sounds weird, yeah.

NATE
Oops. 

CATHERINE
No worries. 

NATE
So I don’t really know where to go from here.

CATHERINE
What do you mean?

NATE
You’ve moved in but you didn’t take any of your stuff with you.

CATHERINE
Why would I need that pile of crap? You have a fridge here, I can just use that one. 

CATHERINE gets up and walks to the fridge. She opens it.

CATHERINE [yelling to NATE]
I can’t find the beer!

NATE
That’s because there is none.

CATHERINE
I’ll change that.

CATHERINE gives a long look at NATE.

NATE
Oh, you want me to get some beer?

CATHERINE
You’re the one with the money. You do still have money, right?

NATE
Yeah, would it be a dealbreaker if I didn’t?

CATHERINE
No. But I’ll never be mad about marrying—I mean, dating—rich. 

NATE
About that, is there a way you could try to talk our nephews—whoops, I mean YOUR nephews—-into not calling me Uncle Rich?

CATHERINE [laughing]
They call you Uncle Rich?? Oh that’s hilarious. 

NATE
Uh huh, so funny. 

CATHERINE
Of course, I can’t blame them after you gave them fifty thousand dollars. 

NATE
Are you mad at me?

CATHERINE
It’s fifty thousand dollars less than before but I’m sure it was for a good cause. You have like what, fifty bazillion dollars overall?

NATE
Not quite fifty bazulion or whatever you just said, but it’s certainly more than enough.

CATHERINE
Yeah, looks like some expensive jewelry—or, something else, I don’t know—could be bought with this money.

NATE
I’m gonna get going now.

CATHERINE
This is your house...

NATE
You wanted me to get beer. Or was it root beer?

CATHERINE
Oh, right. I thought it was beer but it might’ve been root beer. Pick up what you think is right. 

NATE
Alright Catherine, I will leave the house and pick up what I think is right.

NATE leaves.

CATHERINE [thinking to herself]
Now I can listen to some music. Wonder if I still have that Little Shark song on my phone. 



NATE gets into his car, a five-passenger SUV. He puts down the back row, making more space for him to put anything he buys. 

NATE [thinking to himself]
Maybe I’ll need that row in the future. 

NATE turns on the radio and begins to drive. The radio is on CATHERINE’s favorite channel. The song LITTLE SHARK comes on, and NATE turns it off.

NATE [thinking to himself]
If there’s one thing I hate, it’s that song. 

NATE ends up driving to the grocery store in silence. He gets out of his car, walks to the entrance, and asks the first person he sees if they sell beer. They point him in the right direction.

NATE looks over to the customer next to him.

UNNAMED CUSTOMER
You looking at something?

NATE
Just seeing what you’re buying.

UNNAMED CUSTOMER
Champagne. Real interesting, right?

NATE
Any recommendations on some good beer?

UNNAMED CUSTOMER 
Um...that one up there is decent. So are all the other ones. 

NATE
Thanks for your help.

NATE starts putting packs of beer into his carriage. He stops at seven. Realizing he’s already taken way too many, he puts six of them back and walks to the checkout line. Once he pays for the beer, he walks back to his car.

NATE [thinking to himself]
Guess I don’t need all that extra space. Yet. 

NATE starts to drive home. After a couple minutes, he turns around.

NATE [thinking to himself]
The day is today.

NATE arrives at a local jewelry store. He looks the store owner in the eye.

NATE
Where can I find the engagement rings? 

STORE OWNER
Right in the case here.

NATE
Which one should I get?

STORE OWNER
I’m gonna need a lot more information than that.

NATE
Girl, 40s, blondish/brown hair, thin...

STORE OWNER
So the ring isn’t for yourself?

NATE
Oh. No, why would it be?

STORE OWNER
The last guy who came in bought an engagement ring for himself. 

NATE
That’s not what I’m doing.

STORE OWNER
Pick any one then.

NATE
Aren’t you gonna help me?

STORE OWNER
Nope.

NATE [pointing to a ring with purple marble)
OK...I’ll take that one.

STORE OWNER
You sure?

NATE
Now I’m not.

STORE OWNER
You are too indecisive. 

NATE
OK. I’ll take it.

STORE OWNER
That ring’s half a million dollars you know.

NATE
Worth it.

NATE purchases the ring and drives home. He walks inside.

CATHERINE
You got the beer?

NATE
Yeah. But I got more than that too.

CATHERINE
What else did you get?

NATE
Uh...

CATHERINE
Wine? Champagne? Sprinkles?

NATE
No, something else. It has to do with a question.

CATHERINE
Oh OK. Cool.

CATHERINE takes a beer. 

NATE
Do you want to know the question?

CATHERINE
Hold on, this is some good beer.

NATE smiles.
