All language subtitles for Call me Kat S 03E16 Call Me Worth the Wait

♪ Kentucky bourbon flight ♪

- ♪ Kentuck... Kentuck... ♪
- Hey.

Oh, hey, sorry, did I wake you?

No. Snowball
either puked up her dinner,

or she's going through
a Jackson Pollock phase.

Well, at least it wasn't
in my slippers this time.

That was a squishy 2:00 a.m.
trip to the bathroom.

What were you playing?

Oh, a song I'm working on.

I want something new
for when that producer

comes to see me play.

Well, if you need a beatboxer,

I just finished
Doug E. Fresh's MasterClass.

Oh.

That was on there?

And I wasted three hours
listening to Melinda Gates

teach me about impactful giving.

Play your song for me.

-It's not done. I don't...
-Oh, come on.

I mean, if you get stuck
on a rhyme,

I'm pretty good.

Salad, valid.

I was saving it for a birthday
card, but you can have it.

Okay, all right.
It's a work in progress, though.

I'm a friend from way back when.
Is this song about me?

My mother says
I wasn't worth the wait,

but maybe Max disagrees.

Okay, that's me
because that happened.

Move over, "Layla"
and "Billie Jean,"

I just got my own song.

That's as far
as I've gotten so far.

-That is amazing.
-Mm-hmm.

You painted
such a vivid picture,

I felt like I was there.

Because I was.

Well, it's got a long way to go,

but I'm glad you like it.

I love it.

-Hey, um...
-Mm?

Since we're both up, you, uh,

want to have a little fun
on the couch?

Oh, fun on the couch,
I like the sound of that.

Yeah? Do you like
the sound of this?

Oh.

♪ Me, oh, my, oh, my, oh, me ♪

♪ Nothin' wrong with you
but I'd rather be me. ♪

-Hi.
-Hi.

I can't help but notice
you've bonded

with Meow-im Bialik.

What can I say,
I lost a bet to the writers.

Just so you know,

all of our cats
are available for rescue.

If you're interested,

just fill out this application

and answer
a few simple questions.

Great, I'd love to.

Your cat spends the morning on
a carefree frolic in the garden.

Later, you notice red hives

on its belly. What do you do?

What do you do?!

Take her to the vet?

Good answer.

Sorry I got all up in your face.

I just wanted to simulate
the high-intensity experience

of cat ownership. You did great.

There's a box you can check for

"don't want to talk
to this one again."

Go ahead and try
and bring me down, but, uh,

my boyfriend
is writing a song about me.

Really? What did he rhyme
with "settling"?

Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late.

Carter's son is coming over
for the weekend,

so I went out and bought
a bunch of things

I thought a 14-year-old boy
might like.

I didn't know
the grocery store sold

marijuana and boobs.

I'm gonna be his stepmom soon,

so I want him to come over
and have fun,

and then go home and tell
his mom that he likes me more

and that I'm prettier.

Well, if you want, I can help
you put the "step" in stepmom.

February was Black History Month
on MasterClass.

-Hey, Randi.
-Hey, baby.

Little man.

All right, I'm loving this.

Wow, okay, still going.

Yeah, okay,

not feeling left out at all.

Starting to feel
a little left out.

CJ, I got all
your favorite foods.

I got chicken nuggets,
chicken fingers,

chicken patties,

and something
called Beyond Chicken

that they said
tastes like real chicken,

but it really doesn't
taste like chicken.

Just eat your broccoli
and be sad, vegans.

I was kind of feeling Taco Bell.

Oh, tacos are cool, too.
Let's go.

Uh, hold up. Now, I love Taco
Bell just as much as anyone.

In fact, I'm the one who got the
Mexican Pizza back on the menu.

My grandfather
marched on Washington,

I marched on Chalupa Boulevard.

But Randi bought 200 bucks
worth of groceries,

so we're eating here.

-Fine.
-Buzzkill.
He always buzzkilling.

Oh, no, no,
I'm a part of this one.

Yeah. Uh-uh-uh.

Okay, which one's the producer?

Oh, it's the guy
in the cowboy hat, isn't it?

Sure do like your songs, Max.

I understand
your pretty little filly here

does a mean beatbox.

It's actually Kelsey Morgan,

the woman in the pantsuit.

Ugh, damn the patriarchy.

I've got so much to unlearn.

I'm gonna take my seat.

-Wish me luck.
-Break a leg.
And if you get nervous,

just picture the audience naked,

except Randi,
I can't compete with that.

You got this, brother.

Yes.

Everyone has one but me.

Thanks for coming out.
Where's CJ?

At a movie with a friend.

It's rated R, but I taught him
how to buy a ticket

for another movie and sneak in.

Who's the best stepmom now,
Gabrielle Union?

Hey, everybody,
I'm Max Kingbird.

Uh, so glad to be here.

I'm gonna start
with something new.

Uh, it's a little different,
but very personal to me.

This is it. This is my song.

I'm the "person" in "personal."

♪ A friend from way back when ♪

♪ Who came around again ♪

♪ I can't believe
it took so long ♪

♪ But you were worth
the wait... ♪

Wow, this is beautiful.

Don't be jealous.

Just kidding,
be totally jealous.

♪ Up all night
we drank champagne ♪

♪ Dancin' in the Paris rain ♪

♪ You're the reason, ma cherie ♪

♪ But you were worth the wait ♪

When did you guys go to Paris?

Uh, we didn't, but,

you know, uh...

Louisville is the "Par-ee"
of Kentucky.

♪ I want to hold you near ♪

♪ Whisper "je t'aime"
in your ear... ♪

You don't speak French. I know

because in high school
you insisted

on taking Klingon instead.

♪ Takin' off our clothes ♪

♪ In Fontaine Saint-Michel ♪

♪ My sexy mademoiselle... ♪

Huh...

We never went skinny-dipping.

It's because this song
is about me.

Brigitte?

Oui.

When Max and I were together,

we skinny-dipped all the time.

In Saint-Tropez,
in Rome, at Normandy.

It was a different kind
of D-Day.

I eat lots of ice cream,

but I'm still very thin.

Yeah, well, I don't gain weight
from it either

'cause I'm lactose intolerant.

You're not gonna believe it.
I talked to Kelsey,

and she wants to record
with me.

Why aren't you jumping
up and down with me?

It's weird for a grown man to be
jumping up and down by himself.

Max, why did you change
the song you wrote about me

to be about Brigitte?

Oh, Kat, I think
we both know why.

The song's not about anyone
specifically. I just made it up.

Oh, so you didn't go
skinny-dipping with Brigitte

in La Fontaine Saint-Michel?

I think you're focusing
on the wrong thing here.

Kelsey Morgan
is working on songs

for Chris Stapleton's
next album.

Can't you just
be excited for me?

Well, it's kind of hard
to be excited

when you started writing
a song about me

and ran out of things to say
20 seconds in.

And what would he say?

"Oh, Kat, I love your fruit
with the googly eyes"?

I was so excited to tell you
my good news,

and you're kind of
crapping all over it.

It is because she ate ice cream.

Yes! Winner, winner,
chicken dinner.

And breakfast and lunch.

Seriously, y'all, I bought
a buttload of chicken.

All right, Junior, time for bed.
It's a school night.

Aw, give him a break.

I've been taking him to school
these last six games.

Oh, it's on.

No, it's off.

-Aw, man.
-Boo.

Night, little man.

You might want
to sleep on your stomach

after that spanking
I just gave you.

What are you doing?

-What are you talking about?
-Last night with dinner,

tonight with video games,

you keep making me
the bad cop with CJ.

I'm trying to be
Chris Tucker in Rush Hour,

you got me looking like
Denzel in Training Day.

Well, what's the big deal
if I want to spoil him a little?

I want him to know that
he's gonna have a cool stepmom.

But that means
I have to be the hard-ass,

and that's his mom's job.
She's Denzel.

Trust me, King Kong
ain't got nothing on her!

Hello, dear.

What are you doing here?

You can't get rid
of any more of my clothes.

I never even got to wear
those orange Crocs.

I know you had a rough night,
so I brought some Chardonnay.

You do realize it's noon?

I know, I'm sorry.
I slept in this morning.

How you doing?

Oh, great.

My boyfriend wrote a song
about his perfect ex-girlfriend,

and I'm having full-fledged

imaginary conversations
with her.

It is torturous for me, too.

I look this good,
and no one else can see me.

As you know, I've had a tune
or two written about me.

I was there the morning
Lionel Richie

wrote "All Night Long."

And...?

And nothing. It's just hard
to work that into conversations.

Max says this is just
the way he writes,

but I can't shake the feeling

that he'd rather
be with Brigitte.

How can you blame him?

He's riding the tea cups
after le Splash Mountain.

Sweetheart,
he's lucky to have you.

You're generous and thoughtful

and loving.

But that's boring.

I want to be sexy
and fun and adventurous.

Well, if you want
to inspire him,

lean into your wild side.

Do something daring

and a little reckless.

Ooh, like Olivia Newton-John
at the end of Grease.

She got a perm, put on
those tight leather pants,

and rode off in a convertible.

That's a wild girl car.

I was thinking a drug-fueled
weekend in Vegas with you, Max,

and an open-minded
Cirque du Soleil acrobat,

but you do you.

Ooh, grab a controller.

Can't. I'm meeting a friend
at the library to study.

How are you supposed to get
better at video games

if you keep going to the library
on a Saturday?

See, this is why China
is kicking our ass.

I've got a project.

Okay.

Wait, what's clinking around
in your backpack?

Nothing.

Boy, I'm from Detroit,

smuggling beer in a backpack
is called a Motown Special.

Wh...

What is wrong with you?

They weren't for me.
My friend Preston wanted them,

but if he's
pressuring me to drink,

I see now he's not
a real friend at all.

Save that weak-ass line
for your dad.

-Oh, what?
You're gonna tell him?
-Of course I am.

If I told him
that Drake slid into my DMs,

I'm gonna tell him this.

-But Randi...
-Uh-uh, go to your room

or time-out or whatever
that crap is that parents say.

If you tell my dad,
then he's gonna tell my mom,

and she's gonna go nuts.

I guess you're not as cool
as I thought.

Whatever.

Okay, fine, fine.
I won't tell him.

Seriously? You're the best.

I know. I know. Just make sure
your mom knows, too.

And if you could somehow work
into the conversation

that I know Drake, even better.

I will. Thank you so much.

And just so you know, you wrap
the bottles in a towel, fool.

Is it hot in here
or is it just me?

Trick question, it's both.

Hey. Whoa, you look amazing.

Ooh,

sex candles. Race you to naked.

This counts as foreplay.

-No, no, no, no. Not yet.
We'll get there.
-Oh. Oh...

Because it's our anniversary

that I did not forget.

I ordered your gift,
but, you know, supply chain.

Well, it's not our anniversary.

I wanted to do something
to celebrate your good news

about the producer
with a romantic night

of spontaneous adventure where

-anything can happen.
-Aw, cool.

-Well, we could go b...
-No, no, no, no,

a romantic night
of spontaneous adventure

that I have
completely planned out.

A real adventure
or a Kat adventure?

Because a Kat adventure
always means

I have to look up words
I don't know, like ornithology.

Just say we're going
bird-watching,

so I can get high first.

Well, tonight,
we're gonna get high

on excitement and temerity.

It means recklessness.

Now, go put on some clothes
for getting cr-azy.

You really think
you can compete with me?

After tonight,
Max will be so inspired by me,

he will never
think of you again.

So...

Step off.

Okay, here we are.

Okay, get ready.

One...

-two. I did it on two.
-Whoa.

Temerity.

Water tower?

-You gonna whack me?
-No.

We're gonna sneak in
this locked gate.

Uh, whoa, rebellious much?

Climb this bad boy,
take in a spectacular view,

and then write our names
on a little heart

for all the world to see.

You're not exactly dressed
for climbing.

Hey, if my mother can do
a 5K walk in heels

to support
bringing back quaaludes,

I can climb this water tower.

Right.

Just get in here like this.

-Here we go. Oh!
-Oh.

Uh-oh. Ow. Uh, my hair's caught.

Well, not my hair,
my extensions.

They're polyester like my dress.

I guess my theme tonight
is "flammable."

- I got you. Ready?
- -Ow! Ow. No. Ow.

That's actually making it worse.
Let me just-- I got it.

-Okay? Just let me get it.
-Okay.

Ow. Ah.

Oh, my God, are you okay?

I'm good.

What a spontaneous moment.

All right, let me just, uh,

let me just wipe my hands off
on this garbage

and then the, uh,

the fun will begin.

-Hey, baby.
-Hey.

Guess who ate 76 olives
in under a minute?

I don't know,
but he sounds like an idiot.

Yeah, yeah, that Darren.

He sure is stupid.

Hey, I was thinking,
uh, tomorrow,

we take CJ to Dave & Buster's.

Seal the deal that
you the coolest stepmom.

S-So, listen,
something happened earlier,

and I felt like I did
the right thing at the time,

but... now I kind of feel like
I should tell you about it.

Damn it,
is Drake's light-skinned ass

texting you again?

It's not that.

-I caught CJ stealing beer.
-What?

But I promised him
that I wouldn't tell,

so you can't
do anything about it.

He stole a bottle of my beer,

I'm gonna open up a can
of my whoop-ass.

But if you snitch on me
being a snitch

then we both gonna get stitches,

and it's a new year,
so I know you're not even close

to fulfilling your deductible.

Look, drinking is different

than fast food for dinner
or video games.

If you let him slide on this,

he's gonna think he can
get away with anything.

Yeah, Drake said the same thing.

I just don't want him
to hate me.

I get it.

You're about to be a stepmom
to a teenager, that isn't easy.

This is the hardest part
about being a parent.

If they don't hate you
every now and then,

it means
you're not doing it right.

Okay.

I guess we should
just go talk to him.

I'll do it by myself,
take the heat off of you.

No, no, I want to be there.

So, do we use your belt or mine?

Kidding. Right?

Oh, wow.

This is incredible.

I've never seen the city
from up here.

Yeah, and this high up,
you can barely smell the sulfur

from the tire factory.

This is, this is our home town.

Wow!

I feel like Beyoncé
in "Crazy In Love."

I, uh,

wrote you a poem for tonight.

Just... Oh!

Oh! Crap. There it goes.

You'll have to trust me,
it was really good.

I rhymed "salad" and "valid."

I don't need a poem. Come here.

Oh...

My heel's caught.

Oh.

You okay?

I've never been better.

This is the
Louisville Police.

You are trespassing.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

Oh, it's okay.
Just another memory.

We'll be right down.

Our night ended
in handcuffs, too,

but not in the same way.

Sorry tonight was such a fail.

Only song you could write
about this would be "Womp Womp."

I kind of thought
that's what this was about.

Why are you trying
to compete with a song?

Because your relationship
with Brigitte was so passionate

and exciting and chock-full
of public nudity.

Well, so is a night on ecstasy,

but when you wake up naked
under an overpass,

you wish you'd never done it.

I have heard.

I'm not with Brigitte
for a reason.

I just want to be
exciting for you.

You are.

And if what you really need
is a song

that's all about you,

I can't think of anything
easier to write.

Would it help if I laid down
a fresh funky beat?

It would not.
