Afternoon Delight Page #3

MCKENNA (OFFSCREEN):

I love apps.

MCKENNA (OFFSCREEN): Yeah.

-Yeah?

-You like your job?

-Um, I used to.

I recently sold the, or

got bought, merged.

There are any number of ways to

describe what actually went

down with Happy Farm.

Logan, hey.

-Buddy, this is McKenna.

She's, um, uh, a friend

of your mom's.

I've heard a lot about you.

-Yeah?

I love your monkey backpack.

-I asked for an elephant.

-Well, talk to your mom.

-I did.

-We're gonna get you hooked up

with breakfast real quick, Mr.

Man, because we are running

a little late.

-OK.

RACHEL (OFFSCREEN): Hey.

-Hi.

RACHEL (OFFSCREEN):

Uh, good morning.

Logan, you met my

friend McKenna?

-Yeah.

McKenna, Jeff.

You got it.

-Great.

How did you--

How did you sleep?

-Really, really good.

-Oh good.

Oh good, you--

Good.

-Quiet in here.

-Yeah.

So, um, uh, you can take

Logan to school today?

Jeff, I just want to make

sure that McKenna is--

-Got it, I am on it.

--taken care of.

-Thank you.

-OK, great.

You need milk.

-OK.

OK, she looks like a completely

different person,

-I know.

-She looks like a college

kid or something.

-Right?

Dancing is just her job.

A job does not define

who you are.

-Right.

-I really think I

can help her.

She had a really

difficult life.

-Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy.

OK, all right.

I'm shaking it out.

There's a stripper in my pool.

No big.

-OK.

Oh, that's a nice looking one.

-Yeah, is that OK?

What do strippers like?

-Not that, because she's sober.

-Oh.

Good for her.

-Imagine that you're

cleaning out a rim.

-OK?

-Cleaning out a rim.

It's a big rim.

It's more like a

trash can size.

-OK.

-Oh, like a garbage can rim.

-Her shame is trapped there.

We gotta get that exercised.

Be gentle with it.

-Shame.

-Stephanie!

-I really got this.

-Stephanie!

-You're waking up

in the morning.

-Should we give her a pole?

-You want--

-Oh sh*t.

-Yeah.

-Body.

-No, you guys.

-Those are the guys that come

in and they're like, lap

dance, lap dance, lap

dance, every night.

And they always have their

favorite girls.

And they're the ones that tell

you things like, oh baby, I'm

gonna be the one that gets

to see you for real.

I'm gonna help get you

down off of this

pole, blah, blah, blah.

We call them Captain Save-a-Ho.

-Captain Save-a-Ho,

that's hilarious.

-Yeah, I made $6,000

of one once.

-Wait, 6,000 just for dancing?

-Well, some girls dance

just to dance, right?

But I like to use the club for

networking, meeting people,

building relationships.

I'm not the kind of girl who's

gonna tell you that she'll

strip but she won't get naked,

or she'll give you a lap dance

but she won't touch you, or

she'll touch you, but she

won't give you oral.

I'm pretty much down

for anything.

Full service sex worker.

-Um, what--

What is a sex worker?

This one guy Warren, I mean,

he pays via Paypal.

It's awesome.

There's no cash exchange.

It's very clean.

And then there's this Jack, and

he's been my regular on

Tuesdays for like

a million years.

I love him like a brother.

He's your kind of run

of the mill, typical

vanilla kinky guy.

He's into some weird sh*t.

He sometimes likes

a girl to watch.

You should come, Rachel.

-Yes, you should.

You really should.

I'll take Logan to soccer

so you can go.

-Thank you, that would

be a huge help.

Sorry.

I'm gonna ruing a perfectly

good blow out.

Hey Captain Save-a-Ho.

She's a hooker.

-Sh, it's OK.

-No, it's not OK.

-Yeah it is.

-Is that a nursing bra?

-Oh, yeah.

-Logan's five.

Throw it the f*** out.

-You didn't know about

that part, right?

The friends I see sometimes?

-You were right about that.

-You still want me to

stay at the house?

-If you want out of that

life, I can help you.

-I mean, I've saved first

and last month's rent.

I could give that to you.

And I could help take

care of Logan.

-Exactly, but no money.

-I'd feel weird taking

something from you.

If you think that I

can help you, I

promise, you're not taking.

-It's inappropriate.

-Aren't you supposed to

be non-judgmental?

I'm supposed to be clear mirror,

baccarat crystal.

Excuse me, I have to

eat something.

I was recently diagnosed with

perimenopausal low blood sugar.

I brought quinoa from home.

-She just seems way too young

and, I don't know, healthy to

be spending her time having

sex for money.

-Isn't that her choice?

May I share something?

When Portia was in

graduate school--

-No, Lenore, I don't wanna

hear about Portia.

I think that's inappropriate.

-I don't know why I wanna

take care of McKenna.

I mean, what if I listen to you

and I'm like, oh, Lenore

says it's inappropriate, so I

guess it's inappropriate.

So I go home and I'm like,

sorry, McKenna.

Turns out, this is

inappropriate.

So, out she goes, back on the

street, robbed of her one

opportunity she had

to finally escape

from being a sex worker.

-What's a sex worker?

-That's what she calls it.

-She's a prostitute.

-That is such an awful word.

-It's a highly accurate

word, Rachel.

-I think I need a break

from therapy.

-Well, I think that's

ill advised.

Just last week, you were

complaining about how you and

Jeff are no longer making love.

I mean, if you wanna

choose words, let's

just call it not f***ing.

-I think you should start

coming in twice a week.

-Mwah.

-Bye.

Oh, hey.

Uh, this is, uh--

This is, um, Amanda

and Meredith.

-Nice to meet you.

-Bye.

-Stephanie.

-Oh, McKenna.

Oh my gosh.

You're still here.

-Yeah, uh, um, I'm teaching her

about drop offs in case

she has to do a drop off.

Well, I'll see you guys soon.

-OK, bye.

-If it's a Monday, you wanna

bring his math stuff with

you--

-And if it's a Friday,

you wanna--

Did you ever get my sign up

paper for Craftacular?

-Oh.

-Because I didn't

see your name.

-I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, I forgot.

-Hi.

Who's this?

-Oh, uh, this is Logan's

new nanny.

This is McKenna.

-McKenna, this is Jennie.

-Oh, nice to meet you.

-Wow, you been thinking about

going back to work Rach?

-Yeah, thinking about

thinking about it.

JENNIE (OFFSCREEN): Great.

Where you from?

-I'm from Chico in Northern

California.

-Yeah, I found her through

an agency.

-Well, careful, because I am

known to steal nannies.

I am a nanny stealer.

Hey.

Do you wanna--

Do you wanna captain a table

at Craftacular, McKenna?

It's, like, a lot of kids doing

crafts, raising money

for Jewish women with cancer.

-Jennie, I am so sorry, but I

gotta show McKenna where the

dry cleaners is.

It was nice to meet you.

-I'll register.

I promise.

Just like another week, until

she gets on her feet.

What exactly do you intend

to do for her?

-Help her tell her story.

Maybe I can help her

set up a blog.

She and I could co-blog.

-You wanna--

You wanna blog with her?

A lot of good things have

come from blogging.

-Name one good thing that's

come from blogging.

-OK, that crunchy kale

salad that I made.

That was from someone's blog.
