A lot of you told me about the Ted Lasso 1x7 shooting script, "Make Rebecca Great Again". Here are some notes on that (sorry it's a bit long):
There is a dialogue cut from the episode where Ted talks about Dani being on the starting line-up. Dani says "You honor me with this decision." what a baby
After they arrive at the hotel, Ted finds out that Nathan's room is not at their floor.
"Nate, how many times have I asked you to make sure that your room is on the same floor as ours?"
"All of the times. Should I go switch it?"
"Yes, Nate. Please go switch it." (🥺)
Right after that Ted turns to Beard and says if Nate doesn't start acceptin' the mission they are on, he is gonna "self-destruct." This is just meant to be a joke, in my opinion, but still he deals with a lot through S2. Yet again, he makes some suicidal jokes in one of the episodes so maybe this is not that deep.
The scene with the hotel employee and Sassy where he says "of course not, why would you?" is not in the script and I think it was a very funny scene.
When Ted was looking at himself in the mirror, struggling with signing the divorce papers, the description of his look is: "This is you now."
Here are some writers notes on Hannah Waddingham singing:
"Oh snap, the boss is gonna sing." Holy shit. Rebecca can fuckin' sing. "Woo woo!" "Go girl!"
Ok, when Ted is having a panic attack, he first hears Michelle calling his name. Then when he looks up he sees Rebecca standing above him. There is a direct transition from Michelle to Rebecca in the script, unlike in the episode he hears his son calling him etc. (If doesn't give you Tedbecca vibes idk what does.)
Also I've noticed that in the script, Ted says "Thank you Rebecca." But in the scene he doesn't call her by her name. Made me think of the times that Ted doesn't call Rebecca "Boss."
After he signes the divorce papers, he looks at himself in the mirror once again and the description says: "You're gonna be okay."
When Rebecca turns back to the hotel waiting for the handsome waiter, she "clearly thinks about Ted." (i meaannn)
Oh, I am not crying I got a little mental improvement in my eye. Sorry this was a little long but I can see why this script was Emmy nominated.
Also before I read these scripts, I was totally against Ted and Rebecca. I kinda still am, not because their chemistry or looks, but I desperately need a soulmates-bestfriends couple of different genders. I hate that whenever a man and a woman have good chemistry, they end up having a romantic relationship. Just feels like lazy writing or easy way out. However, from the very beginning, this could have been planned by the writers. I just hope that if Ted and Rebecca gets together, it won't disappoint us storywise. One thing is clear tho, Ted and Rebecca are definetely soulmates.
