02x13 - That'll Be The Day

[bunniefuu]

Previously on This Is Us...

Kev's in rehab.

I let Kevin get sent to rehab.

You need structure, you need a healthy routine.

You're right. It's exactly why I know where I need to be.

I want to buy this building with you, Beth.

I'm thinking I want to try and start the business again.

Big Three Homes.

Oh, boy.

Wow, what a mess.

Huh.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Why throw it out?

Why not yard sale?

No, nobody wants this junk, George.

Junk? Sally, this "junk"

is the stuff of our lives.

If this string of old Christmas lights is the stuff of my life, somebody hang me with it.

House has been on the market for three months, George.

We haven't even had a nibble.

I mean, nobody wants to live in a house full of...

- ... junk.

- Uh, no, no, no, no, no.

Not my jukebox.

I seem to remember a pretty young woman coming into my diner, prettiest smile I'd ever seen, always pouring her coins into this baby.

- Yeah.

- And played that same song.

- "That'll Be the Day."

- Mm.

♪ That'll be the day, when you say good-bye... ♪

- What are you doing, George?

- ♪ That'll be the day ♪

♪ When you made me cry ♪

♪ You say you're gonna leave me ♪

♪ You know it's a lie ♪

♪ 'Cause that'll be the day when I die. ♪

- Oh!

- (BOTH LAUGH)

You... Mwah.

Throw it out.

(QUIETLY): "Throw it out."

♪ Super Bowl Sunday. ♪

Oh, is it?

- (CHUCKLES)

- Yeah, no, I don't...

I don't really follow football.

Oh, you don't? Hmm.

Well, chili is on, and I brought our wake-up sh*ts, but it's orange juice this year, not whiskey.

- Very rock and roll of us.

- (CHUCKLES)

Nah, put down the sports page.

It's all Broncos, Broncos, Broncos.

Nah, I'm not there yet. I'm-I'm, I'm still in real estate.

- Why?

- Oh. Sorry.

So I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I can't just quit my job, you know, and start a construction company from scratch.

Maybe I'd start slow.

You know, hang onto the job, flip a few houses, get my feet wet?

I don't know, what do you think?

Yeah, I like that idea.

- Yeah? Okay.

- (LAUGHING): Yeah.

Mom, Randall's been in the bathroom primping for, like, an hour.

Well, Allison's coming over, so maybe he just wants to look good for her.

Randall looks the same every single day.

He's like a cartoon character.

What is he doing in there?

Randall!

Let your sister use the bathroom now!

(DOOR CLOSES)

- Thank you.

- Welcome.

Last Super Bowl with the kids.

Yeah, I know.

At least we have today.

Let's make it count.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

(PHONE WHOOSHES)

(PHONE DINGING)

Hey-o.

Kevin's blowing up your phone.

What's up?

"No. Sorry.

"Can't do a K-venture today.

"Headed to new apartment building to work."

Today's too important for distraction.

Today is the first day of the rest of our tenants' lives.

It's our first day to turn this building around without going broke.

Also, do some good.

Hey. "Do some good, don't go broke."

Company motto, write it down.

- I'm not writing that down.

- It's cool.

Already memorized it.

These people have been putting up with less than they deserve for far too long.

Peeling paint, filthy halls.

That sad courtyard that smells like pee.

- Yeah, what is that?

- I think it's pee.

That ends today.

By "today" I hope you mean "over the course of several months as we gradually improve the building."

Yes, you're right.

You're right, I've been watching too much Property Brothers.

- Got to slow my roll.

- Exactly.

- Okay. I'm-a go get the bagels.

- Wait.

- We're serving?

- Hey.

If we're slowing our roll fixing these crappy apartments, the least we can do is bring a schmear.

I've been watching too much Seinfeld, too. (CLICKS TONGUE)

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Hey.

What is that?

Nothing. What is what?

You're totally watching p*rn.

No, I'm not. What?

- Yes, you are.

- No, I'm not.

Yes, you are, look at you, you're getting all red.

- Let me see.

- I am pounds overweight and Irish, that's my color.

- Let me see.

- No.

- If you're not watching, let me see.

- Stop it. Stop it.

Give me. Thanks.

What is your thing?

- Babysitters?

- No.

- Nurses.

- No.

KATE: They're pictures of dogs.

And, uh, links to dog shelters.

And something that resembles Tinder for dogs?

Yeah, it's Petfinder, okay?

Some people look at vacation rentals, some people look at p*rn, I look at dogs.

Some guy at the office, he got this cute little doodle.

Aw.

And he's showing everybody pictures of it.

I went down a puppy rabbit hole, that's all.

Look, I know that dogs are a sensitive issue for you.

So, just...

(GRUNTS)

...forget it.

Let me up, I got to get ready for work.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Well, hi, everyone.

- Yeah.

- Hello. My name is Beth Pearson, and this is my husband and co-owner, Randall Pearson.

- Hi.

- We are your new landlords.

(PEOPLE MURMURING)

So we are aware that this building is in need of significant repairs.

- (SCOFFING, CHUCKLING)

- We have listed here some of our priorities.

- Yeah, making money!

- (LAUGHTER)

No, actually, what we want to do for all of you is shore up your fire escapes, okay?

We're gonna bring those up to code.

Maybe I can use mine to jump out of this hellhole.

- (LAUGHTER)

- Okay, well, I hope not.

Because after fire escapes, we're gonna start on...

Half the time, my front door doesn't lock.

- Mm-hmm?

- And half the time, it won't open.

- When we gonna focus on that?

- Okay, that's a good point.

But right now we have to focus on the major violations.

I can fix your door, Rosemary.

It's just a door.

Think we can handle a door.

LLOYD: Uh, what about my heater, man?

It's banging all the time.

I can fix that, too, Lloyd. Right away.

The-the washing machine needs quarters.

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

Sure. Oh, wait, one at a time.

- One at a time.

- Hey, don't you think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves?

Nah. We got this.

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

- WATER...

- WOMAN: Don't forget the Dumpster.

Right. Dumpster.

MAN: Is that the Manny?

WOMAN (GASPS): Look, it's the Manny.

KEVIN: Uh, guys need a hand?

- Here to help.

- MAN: Oh, my God.

JACK: Oh, hey, Kev. Good.

- I want you to take a look at this.

- KEVIN: Sorry, I can't.

Mom's got me doing those stupid college forms.

Ah, it'll just take a second, come on.

I want you to put your eyes on it.

Yeah, I don't know, it looks great.

Kev, you didn't even look at it.

Come on, you used to love this stuff.

Look, now look... the-the TV is gonna go right here.

I just, I want it to be perfect before the game.

You know, it's just a... it's just a bunch of wood, Dad.

- No one... no one cares.

- I care.

I got to do something to keep my hands busy, 'cause every time I want to grab a drink, instead, I just pick up a hammer.

Hey. I'm just here to help, bro.

Thanks, man.

KEVIN: Yeah. "Door"? I can fix a door.

- Rosemary? Oh, Rosemary. Yeah?

- Yes.

- Can I fix your door?

- Kev, you don't have to...

- Yeah, yeah.

- ...do, uh...

Well, thanks for the bagel and the orangey fish.

- It's smoked salmon, Lloyd.

- Can I just say that you...

Look, I know what you're gonna say.

I didn't slow my roll.

And you're right.

That was a very fast roll.

My roll got its steam by the second.

I was like Sonic the Hedgehog up in here.

And I know what you're gonna say next, too.

How are these people gonna feel when you don't deliver on everything that you just promised, Randall?

I just got really excited, Beth.

Like, I suddenly realized that I can do this.

I built our house. It's the same thing.

My dad was in construction, it's in my blood.

Well, I guess there's nothing left for me to say.

I'm gonna go to my office in time for my : .

Good luck, baby.

- You're gonna need it.

- Uh.

Was that a real "good luck" or a snarky "good luck"?

All right.

- (DOOR CLOSES)

- All right.

All right.

All right.

KEVIN: That is actually what they do.

They tell those people when to laugh.

It's called a laugh track, or whatever. Anyway...

- (CHUCKLES)

- ...it's all fake.

That should do it.

Let's check it out.

Look at that. Good as new.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- You are a lifesaver.

- Aw.

Was there anything else I can do for you while I'm here?

(SCOFFS) Do you want to knock down a wall?

I'm sorry, what?

My ex put up that wall and stole all the light.

- Really?

Yeah. Then he decides to take off, and I'm stuck here with that damn wall.

Yeah, that's... that's easy.

Yeah, I can, I can tear that wall down for you.

Oh, uh, no, actually I was just kidding, I...

No, no. This is great. This is exactly what I'm supposed to be doing right now.

It'll keep me busy, so, uh...

Yeah, I'll be right back with a sledgehammer.

This'll be great.

ALLISON: And then you use the white icing to make the football seams.

I always do three stitches, I think that looks best.

RANDALL: Yeah. Looks really nice.

- (SCOFFS)

- JACK: Okay, get excited, people.

- T minus three hours...

- (WHOOPS)

...until kickoff, and the new wall unit is finally finished.

Aw, that's great, babe.

Mom, what is my Social Security number?

I'll fill that part out.

You just do all the ones about your major.

- Got it.

- I heard Sophie applied early to NYU.

- Are you applying there, too?

- No.

Kevin's had to adjust his plans a little bit.

So, he is applying to Allegheny Community, and then once he gets his grades up, he can transfer wherever he wants. Right?

Yeah, wherever I want.

- (SCOFFS)

- He's fine.

- (LOUIE BARKING)

- It's gonna be fine.

Ugh, I still can't do it.

- REBECCA: You haven't opened it yet?

- JACK: Kate.

Nope. What's in this letter determines my entire future, and I...

- Oh! What?

- Dad!

- Oh!

- Dad. Come on, give it...

- Once I open it. Once it's open... no.

- Dad! Give it back.

- Here it comes, okay. Here it is.

- I want to see.

Okay, please say something.

- No, it's good.

- REBECCA: Yeah.

You're in the final round of applicants.

They want you to submit an additional audition piece.

Original songs are encouraged.

- Kate! Your original songs are gorgeous.

- What... Oh, hey.

That face? And that voice?

What if... what if I videotaped it?

I'd rather die.

So, I'm just going to send in an audiotape.

You don't want me to videotape?

- Dad, not happening.

- Okay.

Last Pearson Super Bowl is getting off to an angsty start.

- At least Randall still likes us.

- Mm.

I think he likes Allison more.

Aw, what kind?

Oh, he was a little terrier mix.

We got a few of those, if that's what you're in the market for.

My fiancé wants a dog, but I can't quite wrap my head around it.

That's Audio.

We found him in the back of a Trader Joe's in Echo Park.

- Is he friendly?

- Dad, I told you, I don't want to be on camera.

This was just for you.

Look, come on.

I-I thought that, you know, if you saw how great you were, you'd reconsider sending in a video.

Thanks. As if this isn't stressful enough.

Oh, c-come on.

You can't be mad at me today.

All right? It's Super Bowl Sunday.

Yeah, sure. Take her side.

Hey.

The game's gonna be starting soon.

Allison really isn't into football.

I think we're gonna go see Titanic if that's okay.

You know, it's her favorite movie.

She's seen it, like, six times.

So, you're gonna miss the Super Bowl to take Allison to go see Titanic for the seventh time?

Uh, it's just, you know, we haven't gone on a... a real date yet.

Okay.

Yeah, sure.

You should go.

- For real?

- Yeah.

You should go.

Thank you.

JACK: Kate.

The game is about to start, if you...

Kate, I'm sorry.

I know I shouldn't have done that.

But it would break my heart if you didn't want to be on camera because you don't realize how beautiful you are.

Dad, stop.

Just... (SIGHS)

You saying stuff like that to me was fine when I was a kid.

But I'm older now, and I just...

I just, I don't see myself the way you see me.

And, you know, no one else sees me that way, either.

So, you saying it all the time...

... it just hurts.

- Katie.

- No, Dad.

I need you to stop.

Okay?

Okay.

All right, just wait till I get some sandpaper before you put anything on top of it.

- Cool.

- Hey.

What's up?

Hey, babe.

Uh, I don't want to say "I told you so."

Really? 'Cause it sounds like you called just to say it.

You know the expression "Rome wasn't built in a day"?

Okay. I see you're really gonna make a meal out of this.

Well, there's a new expression in town: our apartment building was rebuilt in a day.

- LLOYD: Randall!

- RANDALL: Yeah? Hold on one sec.

What's going on?

Geez!

They are coming out of the hole you left.

Oh.

Ah, I need to call you back.

Something came up. Love you. Bye.

Oh, come on.

Congratulations, Soph.

I love you.

It sounds like Sophie got into NYU.

Yep.

She did.

- It's awesome.

- It is.

But it's also probably pretty hard to think about her going so far away, especially since...

Since I'm going nowhere.

No, that's not what I was gonna say, Kevin.

You do realize there's nothing wrong with starting out at community college.

You're right. It's very exciting.

What's going on?

Kevin just found out that Sophie got into NYU.

- Hey.

- Yeah.

But he's a little frustrated.

Yeah, no, I'm not frustrated.

I'm pissed.

I'm pissed that my life sucks so hard and Mom won't shut up about community college.

- Excuse me?

Hey, do not talk to your mother that way.

Don't you guys get it?

I was supposed to end up in the Super Bowl, not watch it like you guys.

What's your point, Kevin?

Damn it, I didn't want to do this.

We got to go, man.

Roach guys are gonna tent the building. more minutes, all right?

Hey, man, I'm not one to complain about free labor, but is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, everything's good.

I'm just trying to, you know, stay busy.

Find a project, complete the project, stay sober.

Okay.

Well, we got a few minutes before the roaches get us.

Or before we find out this wall was load-bearing.

I'm supposed to be making amends.

Crossing names off of lists.

And I have. I've-I've squared things with people that I've hurt.

There are a few people that I don't think I'm gonna be able to square things up with, though, so I just figured, uh...

the wall's easier, you know?

Yeah.

When he made his amends with us that night?

And he had a... a list in his hand.

He's already been gone for years.

He's already been gone longer than we had him.

- Do what?

Picture yourself as an old man.

Good.

Go ahead.

Say "I told you so."

I'm not gonna say that.

I am gonna say, "You always start with pest control."

- Okay.

- And you always start with pest control because you don't want to go busting through a bunch of drywall when you have a building filled with roaches.

That...

And then you're gonna say, "That makes sense."

And then you're gonna say something charming about how much you love me, and it's gonna almost get you off the hook, but you know what's really gonna get you off the hook?

No, what?

It's when you say, "I've never owned a building before.

But my partner here, she's been working with underserved communities her entire career.

She's a real resource to me.

I'm gonna utilize my resource."

I sound smarter when you do me than when I do me.

Yeah, well, that's why it's fun.

I... I got freaked out about running out of time.

Yeah. Look.

Now, can I say that charming thing about how much I love you now?

- Oh...

- 'Cause I do.

- Get a room!

I mean, for me, a room.

I need some sleep.

No, I knew that.

- I didn't see it.

You know, you're the only man that I ever truly loved.

But you're the only man that's ever been able to hurt me the way that you do.

- I never meant to hurt you.

- No, I know.

I know, but you did.

And we tried again.

We tried to squeeze a puzzle piece in because it fit once when we were kids.

You know, if you really want to make amends...

...could you just leave me with something?

Just leave me with the past.

And just...

let me remember you at-at-at ten or at or .

Just let me remember you when-when it was good.

Okay? Can you do that?

Well, you can check my name off your list.

You know, you can do it with a clear conscience because...

because I forgive you.

- Soph...

- No, listen, I already...

I'm sorry.

I want you to know that y-you weren't just a name on my list.

Soph, you were the name.

Good-bye, Kevin.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

- Hey, babe.

- Hi.

Ah, see, look. Huh?

No p*rn, no puppies.

No puppy p*rn.

How was your day?

Interesting.

Oh, yeah. Why is that?

Well, I went to the dog shelter.

You know the rescue that I found on your browser history?

- Yeah?

Yeah, and I saw the cutest, the cutest dog.

And, like, crazy cute.

Like "if Jacob Tremblay was a dog" cute.

- My God.

- Yeah.

A Jacob Tremblay dog?

- I wanted to surprise you with him.

- Yeah?

But then I started thinking about having a dog and how that would remind me every day...

Oh, yeah. No, no.

Don't-don't, don't worry about it.

I to... I totally get it.

It's-it's totally fine.

But then on the drive home, I couldn't stop thinking about how happy the dog would make you.

What are you saying, woman?

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, my... (LAUGHS)

Hi.

(LAUGHING): Hi.

Oh, what is your name?

Say "Audio." Uh, we can change it if you don't like it.

- Audio?

- Yeah.

No, I love it.

It's like some weird, obnoxious celebrity baby name.

Come here. Oh.

(GRUNTS)

Oh, he does look like Jacob Tremblay.

- (SMOOCHES)

- Aw.

- (LAUGHS)

- Aw.

Somebody wants to come see the house, and the Realtor said they're a really nice couple.
