MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
36.
TODD No, Mom, relax. I wasn’t recording them. Though I should’ve. I was just... digitally eavesdropping. It’s not a big deal. JOAN Didn’t your little girlfriend go to JAIL for something like this?? CHET
I think I’m gonna take Clementine upstairs for a bit. She’s tired, and... ALLISON Yeah, Chuck, why don’t we finish this up in the other room, I... Everyone else clears out, wanting to avoid this argument. JOAN Todd how could you be so stupid! Do you know how many lines you’ve crossed? How many ethical barriers you’ve breached? TODD I happened to see something and I was collecting information - for you! JOAN
After all I have done. Defending you in court. Loaning you money. And you are still hell-bent on destroying yourself. TODD No I’m not! What is this a German opera? I was curious! And he called you a bitch, OK? God, I have been by your side for two whole days while Allison’s “at work” and Jon isn’t even here! But I am! I’m here! Looking out for you when you’re “heartbroken” and in trouble. (aside) Which is a lot more than you ever did for me... JOAN Excuse me? What did you just say? TODD I said I AM HERE FOR YOU in your TIME OF NEED even though you didn’t quite do the SAME FOR ME - when DAD DIED. Did you.
Joan is mortified, heartbroken, furious.
