[ Sighs ] Dude, why does
your mom make us shop at
my rival grocery store?
They steal my best workers --
[ Cans clattering ]
"And they stack stuff
where even very" C-O--
"coordinated people
knock into them."
Dude, JJ, I love
when you let me save face.
Oh, JJ, exciting news.
"Open bag of cookies
or a stranger you can
mold in your image?"
Ah, both.
Yeah, your special-needs
Mother Teresa has a new cause.
You're gonna help me.
It's a father and his son,
who's disabled --
they're new to town.
They're going through
a hard time.
The kid's having trouble
making friends at school.
At my store, people mind
their own business and shop.
The kid wants to be
a stand-up comedian,
except because he's in
a wheelchair, he said --
[ Flatly ]
"He said sit-down comedian."
Oh, it was new to me.
Anyway, make his day.
Tell him his dreams
will come true.
Be his role model,
except spelled --
"R-O-L-L."
Well, I'm sorry if you've heard
every great joke ever.
"Getting in other people's
business is your thing.
I don't --"
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!
Maya: Owen, this is JJ.
Hi, JJ.
It's a "wheel" pleasure.
[real]
[ Laughs ]
[ Laughing ] "A wheel pleasure."
Good one, Owen.
[ Normal voice ]
You know what?
JJ will be
the first to tell you
that you can go anywhere.
You could go anywhere
in the world.
I --

For example, to produce.
Colin.
You look well.

Welcome, everybody,
to the Annual
It's Been Here A Year So Now
It's Ours Luggage Giveaway.
You guys will go first.
Like lions in the jungle,
I wait until my pride
has had its fill.
Let's go over the rules.
Don't die!
Go!
[ All shouting ]
**
[ Luggage clattering ]
[ All shouting ]
**
Suckers!
I wanted
this year-old banana.
**
Roar.
Behold, my prize!
Cool box, Dad.
"Great corners."
Perhaps I can turn it
into my study.
So sad. Not the box,
what's inside it.
Again, behold...
It's just kind of more awkward
than it is heavy.
Yeah.
Yeah, stunned silence.
60 inches of
HDR 4K UHD...
stuff for me.
A Jimmy.
I always knew
I was special.
I just -- I just
wasn't sure how,
but I'm a guy
with a big TV.
"World's Best Garbage Fights"
is gonna look incredible, Dad.
Hmm.
Seeing the big TV in here
kind of makes everything else
look, well, worse.
Okay.
Why don't we clean the place up
a little bit, you know?
Make it worthy of the TV.
Biggest helper gets the box.
-Wait, wait!
-Hands off my study!
Maya: Get off!
Ray:
Forget that you lost it --
why even take
my graphing calculator?
You've got a machine
that, upside-down,
spells "hell"
and "boob-less," Ray.
I'm not supposed
to show that off?
Whoa!
Girl: Guys, wait up.
Where did those girls
come from?
Is this school hot
at night?
Dylan: [ Stammers ]
No, Ray. No.
Let's go home.
I'm starving.
Dylan, when you see
a group of girls that hot
walk through a door,
you also walk through
that door.
**
I was thinking
balloon drop.
Maya: Oh, it's your
new mentor, JJ.
Oh, JJ, you remember them.
Owen's got a birthday
party coming up,
and he's a bit worried that
no one's gonna show up.
So we're just
brainstorming ideas.
I'm gonna pop out of a big box
and perform a comedy act.
He's got this k*ller bit
about if classic movie quotes
were said by people
with disabilities.
Go on.
Take it away, Owen.
I'm not walkin' here!
[ Laughter ]
'Cause he's not.
Anyway,
in addition to CP,
JJ also has a condition
whereby he scowls
at delightful things.
Just a moment.
JJ.
He's nervous about
his birthday party.
Tell him you love the popping
out of the box idea.
"I told you
I'm not mentor material."
All right, well,
can you just tell him
that he's hilarious?
That you had
to leave the room
because you peed your pants
laughing?
JJ, you had people
who helped you.
What would they think
if they knew you couldn't
be bothered to help others?
"They never lied to me.
You didn't.
You were honest.
You made me
believe in myself.
Do that for him."
[ Wheelchair clicks ]
[ Sighs ]
Right. Let's hear some more
great comedy.
Houston, we have
a mobility problem.
[ Chuckles ]
Nah, I'm right.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
[ Angelic music plays ]
Ray, be cool.
Yeah, this is when
that happens.
Excuse me, what are all of
these attractive people
gathered here for?
It's a support group
for teens.
Whatever you're struggling with,
we're here for you.
So, I can join
and none of them can leave?
No, they're free to leave
any time.
But they might not leave.
I guess.
Awesome.
Yes, I could use
some support.
What? Ray, no.
We don't n--
Are those pizzas
for the group?
Sure are.
My parents just d*ed.
Meat lover's, please.
**
Wow! I feel like
I walked into a catalogue
for slightly fancy homes.
Nah, it's just
a couple little things
to bring the room
up to par with the TV.
I wall-mounted it
over the mantle
for optimal viewing angles,
installed drapes
to reduce glare,
cool sound bar.
Feels like a lot of work
for a TV.
Kenneth, it's a lot of work
because of a TV.
Thanks to Big TV,
this room
has never looked better.
I mean, now the dumpiest
thing in here is...
is me.
Thank you, Big TV.
I know what I must do.
**
Hey, bud.
Aww, little JJ.
[ Laughs ]
"I was thinking about" H--
"helping that kid.
I think my mom's wrong
how she's handling it.
And people did help me."
Hey, buddy.
[ Chuckles ]
You had me at
"Mom's wrong."
[ Laughs ]
Well, who's that?
"Me and the right kind
of role model.
The first wheelchair-user
in space."
The first what now?
"Willy O'Groat.
You've heard of him."
[ Chuckles ]
You think I would have.
[ Laughs ]
I-I just thought those guys
had some pretty specific
physical requirements.
So he brought the chair
up there or...?
"Didn't need to.
Zero gravity."
Ah.
"We ran into him
in a diner."
Uh-huh.
He had the helmet there
with him.
That's convenient.
"Uh, he told me everything.
Well, his aide did."
Huh, he's non-verbal, too.
What a perfect person
for you to run into, JJ.
**
Mm-hmm.
[ Water running ]
"Willy O'Groat."
What about The Commander?
"I miss him.
I'd like to visit him."
Oh, well, he has d*ed.
He has taken his place
among the stars.
"I'd like to pay my respects
to his super-model wife."
Well, she, too, has passed.
Soon after he.
Broken heart.
Such was their love.
"I'd like to visit
his grave."
Inaccessible cemetery.
Ironically.
"You're sure?"
"I'd hate to think
that something
that made me believe in myself
was fake."
"That the person I trust most
played me for a fool."
Houston, we do have
a mobility problem after all.
A-And that's why
I switched lunch tables.
It's made
all the difference.
Maude:
Good for you, Tara.
That was
a real breakthrough.
So, so brave.
The same thing
happened to me.
That was so brave, too.
Yeah.
Um, I've noticed
the redhead
hasn't been brave yet.
Dylan: I don't get it.
Why not just get
a cheese pizza
if you're gonna pick off
all the 'ronis?
[ Muffled ] Wait.
Is that, like, your problem?
Eh?
Nice, right?
[ Remote clicks ]
[ Whistle blows,
up-tempo music plays ]
[ Rhythmic drums ]
[ Remote clicks ]
What?
[ Drums continue ]
No, I-I -- You're right.
I guess it is a shame
to watch something so trashy
on a -- on a TV this nice.
[ Remote clicks ]
Announcer:
Passes to Johnson.
He sh**t,
and he sticks the 3.
[ Drums continue ]
Forget. And then --
Woman: Nice.
Woman: [ Singing opera ]
Okay, that's enough TV
for now.
[ Remote clicks ]
Jimmy!
Tell my son I love him.
Tell the TV
I don't need him.
"If the astronaut was fake,
how many other lies
did you tell me?
List them."
List my lies?
Do you ask Kobayashi
to list every hot dog
he ever ate?
I don't catalogue my lies.
"My 9th birthday party --
I was new at school,
but tons of kids came.
Was that you?
Was I even pen pals
with FDR?"
[ As FDR ] "Dear JJ,
if I can be president
in a wheelchair,
so can you.
Also, please stop
telling your mom
her food tastes
like farts."
"I trusted you.
You betrayed me."
[ Normal voice ]
You know what? I worked
very hard on those lies,
so I think I deserve a little
bit of recognition just --
Mm, weird angle.
You know,
I'm just trying stuff.
JJ, look, I'm sorry.
Just tell me how I can
make it up to you.
"There's nothing
you can do for me,
but you can stop Owen's dad
from doing it to him."
Oh, thank you, darling.
I'll call him right now.
Please, can I keep lying
to your brother and sister?
Oh, God. Thank you.
Oh, thank you, darling.
Dylan, success.
I got a girl's name.
Don't you mean number?
I'm not Michael Fassbender.
Her name is Tara,
and it's not fake.
I shouted it,
and she flinched.
Maude: Everyone,
let's gather back up.
So, we have some new faces.
Would anyone care to share
why they're here?
Oh, us?
Nah. We're good.
Not so good that it's weird
that we're here.
She's really the one
with all the problems.
I mean, I can think of
some problems.
I lost my calculator,
and I cannot deal,
and, you know,
my younger sister
is just so much
cooler than me.
I cry in my sleep
and don't know it.
[ Whispering ]
Seriously?
Just a ginormous mess.
Wow.
Thank you for sharing.
I validate your feelings,
but you are great
just the way you are,
and we are thrilled
that you're here.
Really? [ Chuckles ]
That's so nice.
**
I'll take my touch
before I share,
if that's okay.
[ Laughter,
indistinct conversations ]
Jimmy.
[ Rhythmic drums ]
Jimmy.
Jimmy!
[ Drums stop ]
I said, did you see last night's
"World's Best Garbage Fights"?
Bet it looks pretty sweet
on that new screen.
Yeah, yeah.
I saw it.
Yeah, it's like the trash
is in the room with you.
[ Sighs ] I missed it.
Which episode was it?
I said I saw it, Rod!
Break's over!
[ Accordion plays sour note ]
Oh, hey, Dylan, about
the whole teen group thing --
I was thinking if I wore
softer, more inviting clothes
I'd get more touches.
Can you tell
this is Mom's?
No.
Ray, about the group,
they seemed to get
a lot from it.
I don't feel right
taking advantage of them.
That's very noble
of you, Dylan.
Ooh, that puts your wardrobe
on the table.
Whatcha got
soft-pants-wise?
You're not listening.
It's over.
You're not
going back, either.
The heck I'm not.
I don't know where you
suddenly got a conscience,
but this is working.
I'm going back.
I don't expect you to get it,
Ray,
but I'm strong,
and it's my job
to look out for the weak.
It's over.
Look out for me.
I'm wearing Mom's sweater
so some girl
will touch my arm.
What could be more weak?
Oh, thanks for coming over,
Corey.
No, thank you.
I'm grateful to have
as much time
with my mentor
as possible.
I already did everything
you told me to last time.
I know. Very cool,
very cool. Yeah.
Uh, but, now if you could
just undo it all.
Wait, what?
Tell Owen that JJ's
not a comedian
and don't manufacture
victories for him.
So don't bribe kids to
come to his party?
No.
They'll come on their own.
And the ones that don't,
you don't want them anyway.
We'll be there.
I guess you're right.
I mean, the whole
"write a letter
and pretend to be FDR" thing
was obviously dumb.
Owen saw through it
right away.
"Bra-freaking-vo."
[ Slowly clapping ]
But everything else?
No, just no lies.
And I shouldn't tell him
that the Lakers
want to come to his party
but they all got sick?
It was real when it happened
to you, actually.
**
Maude: Let's take a seat.
[ Quietly ] I told you not
to come back here, Ray.
[ Quietly ] You came
here to stop me?
Let's go.
I'm staying.
I am this close to finding out
Tara's last name.
Whoa, I forgot to think of
something to share.
Uh, uh, disease,
parents' divorce,
motorcycle accident --
I'm on fire.
Maybe I was on fire...
Okay, who'd like
to kick us off?
You found it.
Which piece should
I rip off first?
I'll see you in
upside-down 7-7-3-4.
My parents got a divorce
because of my disease,
and I have
a motorcycle --
Liar!
His parents
are not divorced,
he can barely ride
a bicycle,
and the only reason he came here
was to meet you girls --
who, please explain to me why --
are truly all hot --
Her parents aren't dead.
I've seen them,
and they are beautiful.
Please go,
and don't come back.
[ Door clicks ]
And a lot of them came from
the same modelling school.
What school?
What schooooool?!
[ Loud music plays ]
Sounds like
a rocking party.
Omar, get over here.
Bring the crew.
Thanks for coming!
Are we early?
Where is everyone?
It started an hour ago.
Nobody came.
This is a huge disaster.
Why are you blasting music?
So Owen won't notice
there's nobody here.
What do I do? Owen's gonna
see this at some point.
Do you mean
he's not here yet?
Well, great.
That means we've got time.
Not really.
Oh...no.
Owen: Okay, who's ready
for some comedy?
Drum roll please!
[ Imitating drum roll ]
Sure is a good thing
we were honest.
Omar, dude, turn around.
Unbelievable.
I was surrounded
by a group of beautiful girls
giving me a sh*t,
and you had to ruin it.
I ruin it.
I told you not
to go back there.
Look, you've done a lot to me
over the years, Dylan.
I've had
a lot of ice cream cones
slapped out of my hands,
been lured into
a lot of pits,
but to follow me there
just to sabotage me --
I didn't go there for you!
I went for me!
I wanted to talk about
my feelings.
You have feelings?
Yeah, they started coming in
about a year ago.
I hate it.
Everything is changing.
I'm fresh out of baby teeth,
and I feel stuff.
I could've really used
that group, Ray.
I wanted to have one of
those breakthrough things,
but you took that from me.
And you couldn't even wait
until the pizza came!
I'm starving!
Owen: And now the act
you've been waiting for!
Owen, with
musical guest, Sia!
I never promised
a musical guest.
I have no idea
where he got that.
[ Cardboard clanking ]
-Hurray!
-Yay!
Where is everyone?
Kenneth: "It's just us.
I'm sorry.
But it's not all bad.
I came."
But you don't go
to my school.
[ Exhales deeply ]
"But I am
a famous comedian."
You're a famous comedian?
But I've never
heard of you.
How is that possible?
"That's what I'm saying.
It's all possible."
But, like,
this specifically.
Say one of your jokes.
"No."
H-His -- His jokes are
a bit dirty for kids.
Nah, go ahead.
He's heard everything.
This makes no sense.
What should I do?
Should I turn off
the Cajun music?
I mean, I don't -- I mean,
yes, but I don't know.
Huh? Think you're better
than me, Big TV?
I think I really
messed up with Dylan.
Is there a one-sentence
explanation
for what's happening here?
[ Chuckles ]
Big TV thinks
it's better than me,
so I'm proving I'm better
by doing push-ups,
which Big TV can't do
because
it doesn't have arms!
Dad, do you ever seek out
the help of others
to work through
your issues?
Nah, I'm good.
Dylan,
I'm taking you back.
You know, Dr. Phil says
no one can make you
feel inferior
without your permission.
Dr. Phil.
Ah.
I remember him
from Old TV.
You're right.
I lost the second
I tried to compete
with Big TV.
Now it's time
to take back control.
Sounds like a good idea.
Uh, maybe just
bring it back.
Yeah, that seems
more reasonable.
Okay.
Maude: You're back.
She is.
Please let her stay.
I was the one pushing the lies,
and I'm leaving.
I'm not even gonna
ask out Tara before I go.
I mean, I wouldn't
have said yes.
Doesn't matter.
The point is,
I respect the group.
Okay,
but I wouldn't have.
Guess we'll never know.
[ Inhales deeply ]
Dylan could really use this.
What do you say?
I appreciate your honesty,
but given what's happened,
I think it would be best
if you found support
elsewhere.
I hope I can.
It was just nice to see
that someone cared enough
to listen.
I guess being a sibling of
someone with a disability
makes me feel like
my problems don't matter.
Whoa!
Breakthrough!
Well, you two take care.
Also, I'm the youngest,
so two people have already
gone through
whatever
I'm dealing with.
It's not important,
but it is.
It's mine.
All right! Two!
[ Laughs ]
Okay, then.
Of course you matter.
You're the baby.
Imagine being the middle.
I'm never the priority.
So I cook up romantic schemes
because I don't think
I deserve love just being me.
Whoa. I didn't even want one.
Cool!
I really need to ask you
to leave.
Yeah.
I think I'm good.
You, Ray?
Totally.
Yeah, I'm comfortable changing
emotional gears abruptly
due to my chaotic upbringing.
Bam! Breakthrough!
Thank you.
We're also kind of
obsessed with
having the last word.
Having the last word.
[ Gasps ]
Breakthrough jinx!
Breakthrough jinx!
Well, we just wanted
to say goodbye.
We've done enough.
This party really seems like
it's about to pop off.
Sure.
"I'm not a mentor,
and I have nothing
wise to say,
but you seem like
a good kid.
I think things
will get better."
So, now you're not
a comedian,
you're a fortune teller.
Listen, bub, he didn't even
want to be a mentor --
I'm cool. I'm cool.
[ Exhales deeply ]
Will things get better?
"They did for me.
I made real friends.
I'm graduating,
going to college,
and I'm making films,
which is my passion."
Why lie?
The real stuff is so good.
We raised him right.
You just got here.
Can I call you sometime?
"I'm not great
on the phone,
but yeah,
let's get together."
Can I not call you, ever?
Yeah, I'd like that.
**
I guess this is it,
Big TV.
You might be right
for someone,
but [sighs] you're
not right for me.
[ Rhythmic drums ]
No.
Old TV does not have
9 HDMI ports.
Dad.
[ Drums stop ]
Yeah. Sorry.
Sorry.
Thank you.
You know, it was --
it was such a nice box.
There will be other boxes.
Come on.
Free TV?
Wow!
I'm gonna have to rearrange
my whole living room
for this baby.
