Mozart in the Jungle

Yow!

Oh, my God.

Whew. Oh, Jesus.

Do you even have a license?

Why, I have an English one.

Uh, does that count?

Apparently not.

Listen. Now we have the chance.

Shall we just blow out of here

and go to Sag Harbor for the weekend?

You don't want to meet them.

Of course I do.

I'm thrilled. I'm delighted.

No, no. I mean, you know, kids and parents.

I mean,

it's always a bit tricky introducing...

It's too late now. They've seen us.

Hi. Hi. Thomas,

I... You... I want you to be yourself,

and I want you to have fun and...

But, you know, sometimes these...

They can be a little... And you can...

And you... you know what? Never mind.

It's fine. Let's go in. It's fine.

Welcome, welcome.

Hi.

Glo, bring your tuchus over here.

You heard her, Glo. Get your tuchus over there.

- Hi, honey. - Hi.

- How are you? - Hi, Mom. Hi.

Nice to see you.

- Hi, darling. - Both of you,

This is Thomas Pembridge.

- How do you do? - Oh, you must be very special.

She never brings any of her boyfriends home.

Well, she has horrible taste in men.

You said it.

Oh, he's fun.

And this was at the prom.

Oh. Never seen so much hair.

And her date. My God.

Looks like a porcupine with acne.

Well, actually, he now runs a tech company

worth 7 billion.

Hmm. Oh, my Lord.

Who's this little butterball?

Well, that's Glo at age 12.

We used to call her Princess Twinkie.

Oh.

You don't say. Well, hello, Princess Twinkie.

All right. That's enough.

I was a very heavy little girl.

I promised myself I was going to lose 40 pounds

and move somewhere with a library

just as soon as I possibly could.

I think we hit a nerve.

She always thought she was too good for us.

Yeah. And, you know, I'm always trying

- to get her to lighten up. - That... That's not true.

- It's not false. - Mom,

I got the strudel cake you like in the kitchen.

So listen, kid,

what are your intentions for our daughter?

Oh, well, not marriage.

Do you think I want to be number 5?

So that's it, honey.

No grandchildren.

Y...

Ha!

- Oh, you! - Look at his face!

He believe we were going to give him the third degree.

- You got me. - Really?

That's a good one.

What's so funny?

Your parents are being abusive to me.

I love them.

They're fantastic.

Well, I'm glad everyone's getting along so well.

Come here.

Bye. Bye, Glo.

- Wow. - Bye.

I think that went splendidly.

Oh, I'm glad you had so much fun.

Well, you would, too, if you removed

that lumpy piece of stick from up your ass.

I will, and then I will hit you over the head with it.

Oh, ho ho. That's the spirit.

Listen, we have to go to your place tonight.

I've got a lodger.

I think I'd just like to take a night to myself.

Oh, well, I mean, what the hell did I say?

Oh. You know, I...

I don't know what I was thinking.

4 in the morning, and you still can't sleep.

Maybe a little music will help.

John Sebastian,

hey, keep on playing,

but don't play for me

because I'm home.

I'm fine, okay?

I don't... You know?

A man without a house who says he's home.

A man who goes to prison and says he's free.

Is he a child, a genius, or a madman?

Shut up, John Sebastian!

Whoa. Who... What... What's all the noise for?

Sorry, sorry, Maestro. Sorry. I...

What are you throwing?

It's just... It's John Sebastian...

Oh, my God, you're doing the bubbles

- in the house again. - I have to.

There's something I'm trying to figure out,

but I can't until I sleep,

and I can't sleep until I can figure it out.

Because I saw Melody Yang to an amazing bubble,

a big one, and then a little one

that goes inside that bubble,

and then another one

which circled around the bubble.

You know, I...

I've been wanting to tell you something.

Yes, tell me, tell me.

Well, it's about Gloria and me.

I... I just don't know what the hell I'm doing.

At the beginning of this thing, it was...

She was so much fun, you know.

We had a wonderful time together, and it...

And then, for no reason, she just turned.

It's always like that.

- No fun... - Always...

- anymore. - Like that.

- Nothing. - One day it's okay,

and then next day's really weird,

and nobody knows why.

- Yeah. - It's like the orchestra,

you know? They were together.

- Yeah. - Now it separated,

together again, but who knows what's gonna happen?

It's always like this. It's always changing.

- Feh. - Yeah. Hey.

What about the sticky stuff?

Oh, right, remember that one?

Yeah, you're going...

Yes. I finished it before going to Venice.

- Oh, shoot. - Yes.

But try this. Try this.

Oh, my God.

Give it... Give it a try.

- Jesus. - And you'll see.

Right.

Look at that.

Wow.

I fee like you're making me play second fiddle

in our relationship.

Yes, I know I actually play second fiddle.

Why would you say that?

How am I gonna get people to play this for me?

It's too small for the orchestra people.

Well, never underestimate the power

of free pizza and beer.

I'm using it to build a whole cabaret.

It's the fire alarm.

We got to go to the courtyard. Leave your stuff.

Watch it, tuba.

Hey, are you Esther Ohnn?

- I am. - Oh, wow.

I'm a really big fan of yours.

I know that sounds, like, super nerdy.

I just think it's really cool

that you turned down a residency at Julliard

for the Moscow Symphony,

and that you play with Björk, and...

Yeah. I'm Hailey Rutledge.

You're the one who threw up on Andrew Walsh.

Well, yeah, I threw up around Andrew Walsh,

and he fired me.

Good. Because after he asked me

to wash his laundry by hand,

I was out of there. He is the bane.

Yeah. He's kind of the worst.

Well, it is good to meet another cult survivor.

Uh, hey,

I am putting together an ensemble for an event,

and I was just wondering if you wanted to play.

Does it pay?

Do you like free beer?

Yes. Who's conducting?

I am.

Okay. Cool.

What?

I'll do it.

Shock and awe, right?

Yeah. Shock and awe.

All right, see you at rehearsal.

It's some kind of metacarpal fracture

which explains the chronic inflammation.

What about another round of injections?

We can keep on with that and the physio,

but in the end you're probably going to need the surgery.

However, if the surgery goes well,
