The Curse

They forgot the chicken in the chicken penne.

What was the dinner that you took the chicken from?

Chicken spaghetti.

You think that girl could have been

- -going through our trash? - What?

- -Hi, Vic. - Home sweet home.

- - Right here, pause it. - Pause it.

eLook at how uncomfortable he is.

I thought about going back to New York,

but there's nothing for me there, anyways.

I'm just not any good when I'm not working, you know.

Hola, Fernando.

We were thinking because the stores

are closed right now, we might need some security.

- - Wait. What... - what did they just laugh at?

- - Fernando fucking up a latte. - It's the only laugh.

Our entire livelihood is based on the fact

that you said they're probably gonna pick up the series.

- - Yeah, I know. - But that was before I saw this.

He wasn't funny at all.

Well, this is wack.

Good morning, Martha!

Well, you're a hard guy to get ahold of.

- - Uh, yeah. - I'm sorry about that.

I was just trying to find the phone. That's all.

Well, you did it, Dougie.

You did it.

I did.

I did, didn't I?

So, David finally got his eyes on the show

and, um, he loves it.

We're officially ordering

ten episodes of Fliplanthropy...

- -Well, that's... - ...for HGTV Go!

That is such great news, Martha.

And I know you're not gonna...-

Fuck!

Come on.

What the fuck?

Come on.

Fuck!

Yo.

Yo.

Motherfucker.

Under the big tree.

The big tree, I don't know what the fuck

that means, but...

- - All right. - Let's try you.

Okay.

Nope.

Let's see.

All right.

Number two.

Second time is the charm, or so they say, right?

There it is.

All right.

Jesus Christ!

Get out of here!

Get the fuck out of here, all right?

Go.

Go.

Come on.

Let me take this, move this here.

All right.

You stay.

This place is fucking disgusting.

All right.

Under the big tree, right?

Under.

All right, let's go.

How deep?

- - How deep? How deep? - There is deep.

Come on.

Really?

Come on. Nothing?

Come on.

Come on, Dougie.

Come on.

Think.

Big tree. Big tree.

Big tree.

No fucking way.

- - Of course. - Dougie, there's a reason

you're a fucking genius, right?

This is good.

This is all very good.

All right.

Under.

Under.

It's me.

Okay.

Let's see.

Kalvin, 8:30.

Wyatt, 8:45.

Kalvin and Wyatt.

You guys just have such a thoughtful take

on eco-friendly homes and integrating

your buyers into the communit.

We have nothing like this.

I mean, we're just so excited to be working with you.

You... you have believed in us from the very start.

And we could not be more excited to be in business with you.

- - I-- I'm sorry. - You should see Asher right now.

He is literally pretending to play a guitar.

We love that.

I hope to see more of it on the show.

Oh. You'll see more of a lot of stuff.

All G-rated, of course.

I would hope so.

And as we move forward thinking about the season,

maybe also we aren't focusing so much

on the people who lived in the homes before.

We love Fernando and his mother, so sweet.

And we think it might be more digestible

and exciting to portray them as people

you're... you're helping in the community

without pointing out they've been displaced

by your development or, or development in general.

But... but we don't need to get into the weeds

with that stuff right now.

It's not something our viewers wanna engage with.

So, we're excited about that.

That is so exciting.

- -That's so exciting. - Mm-hmm.

Wow, I can't believe this is happening to me.

This is... Oh.

We'll set a Zoom with the whole team

to talk more, but we wanted to give you the headline.

So, congratulations.

Oh. Thank you so much, Martha.

This is... this is really big.-

Spank you.

Spank you very much.

- - Hello. So... sorry. - Hello? Hello?

- -Hello. - Hi. Sorry.

I think you cut out for a second. I'm sorry.

- - Just thank you... - thank you so much.

And, um, we will

work on Asher's air guitar for the show.

- - Fantastic. - Congrats.

- -Thank you. - Okay.

- -Okay. - Bye-bye.

We'll talk to you soon. Bye.

Ugh.

Did you hear that stuff that she was saying

- -about the displaced residents? - Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I thought people really liked that stuff.

- -Yeah, they did. Yeah. - They responded to it.

- - But it's... it's... it's... - Whatever.

- -It's fine. It's fine. - Yeah.

Right? Because it's not gonna change what we do

in our real life, obviously.

Of course not, no.

- -Okay. - Yeah. Who gives a shit?

Honestly, like, not everything

has to be in the show, you know, like...

Right.

And I think just having a show

is bringing awareness to the area

on these issues, you know?

And maybe it's actually good

because then we can really feature the homes

and we can, like, push the environmental aspect

- -which is... - Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

- -Well, how we started out. - Yeah.

- - And the... - and the community is still

gonna be a part of it, obviously.

That's never gonna change, ever.

No.

- -Yeah. All right. - You know,

I wonder if we should delay

listing Juniper Lane until after the show airs.

I bet we could ask way more for it.

I'm gonna text Ed.

Um, I was talking-- Oh, sorry.

- -Are you in the middle...? - No.

- - Okay. - I was just gonna say

I was... I was talking to Wendy,

um, and her brother, I guess, did this corporate

comedy class or something and...

and she said that he found it super beneficial.

- -Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

I was just thinking maybe something like that

would be interesting for you

just so you could feel more confident

in front of the camera, you know, just because you're...

you're so confident and funny off camera.

Well, if I'm already so funny,

it's just a waste of money then, right?

Yeah.

I mean, but, you know, the focus group,

what they said and maybe-- I know,

but I just... I just want them to see what I see.

Are you gonna take the classes too?

Maybe. Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Do you think that's a gift from the network?

Go, go, go, go.

It has to be, but...

- -Hi. - Hi.
