06x13 - We'll Have A Good Time Then

[bunniefuu]

(THEME SONG PLAYING)

Hey, let's get some coffee
before class, okay?

Oh, what's the point
of even going to class?

Because otherwise
we have to go to w*r.

I am at w*r, Cory.

I'm at w*r
with myself.

Why am I like I am?

Shawn, listen,

you just gotta
relax, okay?

Hey, guys,
buy you coffee?

What are you trying
to say?

What I'm trying
to say is,

hey, guys,
buy you coffee?

I can afford
my own coffee.

Yeah, I know you can, Shawn.
I was just offering.

I would take
a latte.

Hey, isn't
this great,

the three of us having
coffee, just us guys?

We never get
to do that.

Why do we never
get to do that?

TOPANGA: Cory?
See ya.

Shawn. We got a nasty situation
over at the pool table.

Old dude has been running
the table like he built it.

b*at my butt
for bucks.

Whoa. And you're
the best stick around.

Well, next to me,
that is.

So, you think
you can take him?

(LAUGHING)

I don't know.
I never have before.

You know the dude? Kind of.

He's my father.
I win again!

(ALL SIGHING) Come on,
double or nothing?

I'll let you break.

(CHUCKLING)

So, is this what you're
doing for kicks now?

Hustling students out
of their tuition money?

I'm not hustling,
I'm teaching!

I'm teaching them not to
play pool with a stranger,

especially when
that stranger's me.

(LAUGHING)

Come on, boys, give
your daddy a big hug!

How you doing?
Good.

Hey.
Hey.

(GRUNTS) So, what are
you doing here, Dad?

Oh, wait, wait.
Let me guess.

Passing through on your
way to somewhere else.

No, no.

No, you see, that's
where you're wrong.

I have arrived
at the spot

where I'm
gonna stay put.

See, I took a look
at my life.

I said, "Chet."

And I went, "What?"

I said, you know,
you got a couple boys

you ought to spend
some time with.

You got fired,
didn't you?

Don't nitpick.

The point is I'm here
and I'm staying.

Just as sure as I'm
winning this next game.

Oh, well, we'll have
to see about that one.

GIRL: Yes!
Whoo!

Ah! Here's your
money back, guys.

They're like
piranhas.

Hey, that was some
fine sh**ting, Shawn.

Well, I learned everything
I know from you.

Yeah, and don't you
forget it, either.

From now on, there'll be lots and
lots of time for us playing pool.

So you're really
staying for good?

That's the plan, Son.

Man, I am so proud to
have two boys in college!

You know what?
I'm gonna go get me

one of them official Pennbrook
University sweatshirts.

You know, ever since I've been
here, he's been on the road.

I guess I just
can't believe

I'm gonna actually get to
spend time with my father.

You're not.

He said
he's staying.

Yeah, but the man
doesn't know how to stay.

Trust me, he'll be gone
before your next class starts.

(CHUCKLING)

All right. Now, I want
the official college tour,

starting with that laboratory
where they t*rture the mice.

Then, tonight,

we'll have dinner
at Steak 'n' Suds.

On me,
of course.

Boys, (CHUCKLES) we're
gonna be a family!

To the mice!

That is, without a doubt, the
best meal I have ever had.

God, I love beef!

I really wish you hadn't
picked up the check, Jack.

Aw, hey,
it's no big deal.

No, it is a big deal.

He said it was on him. Why you
gotta be such a show-off?

He'll get it
next time.

How about it, Dad? Every Thursday
night, Steak 'n' Suds night?

I'm there!

Don't hold your breath.

Hi, guys.

Look what somebody
left in your house.

I've been to three county
fairs, two pigstickings

and a goat rope, but I ain't
never seen nothing like you.

Dad, this is my
roommate Rachel.

Oh, it is so nice
to meet you.

I've heard so much
about you, Mr. Hunter.

Did they tell you
that my wife passed on

and I'm starting
to date again?

I'm just kidding.
(LAUGHS)

I love the dear woman,

wherever the hell she is.

Oh, how about I get a picture of
father and sons for my scrapbook?

Hey, whatever your pretty
little red head desires.

What is she, ' "?

Man, she could eat
a pie off your head.

Okay, everybody. Get together.
Come on.

Oh, smile, Shawn.
It's your dad.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

Yay!

Hey. Let me get one
of my son Jack

with my future
daughter-in-law.

Hey!

Hey, Errol.

Hug her tight, Son.

Oh!

That was nice. How you doing, Chet?
When are you leaving?

He's not.
He's staying.

Oh, Jack,
that's great.

This means you're
gonna get to spend time...

Hold on, hold on. Can I
just clear something up?

The man is not staying.

He never has.
He never will.

You know, you been busting
my chops since I got here.

What is your problem?

I don't have
any problems, Dad.

What would make you think
I have any problems?

Hey, how about cake?

I'm not hungry.

Oh, come on.
It's my famous

homemade double fudge whipped cream cake.
It's delicious.

I'd love some.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

Mmm, mmm, mmm! That is
dee-dang-licious.

Yeah, yeah. He's right here.
It's for you.

Hello.
Hey, Tommy!

Uh-huh.

Well, how much
are they paying?

(CLEARS THROAT) Um...

Let me get back to you
on that, Tommy, okay?

But thanks. Yeah.

Yeah. Bye.

So, when you leaving?

You know, that shows
you how much you know.

I just got offered
the best job I ever had

dealing blackjack
in Vegas.

But you didn't hear me say I
was gonna take it, did you?

I didn't hear you
turn it down.

I'm gonna
turn it down.

I'm just...

Keeping my
options open.

That is so like you.

You always do this,

over and over
and over again.

You come into town,
you make all these promises,

and just when I think we're
actually gonna get close,

you take off again.

Oh, my God.

I'm you.

What are you
talking about?

I'm talking
about the fact

that I can't keep
a relationship,

I drive all
my friends away,

I hurt everybody
I care about.

Hey, Shawn, come
on, take it easy.

No. This doesn't
concern you.

He's my father,
too, okay?

I'm gonna have some cake.
(CHUCKLES)

Yeah.
Oh, here.

Okay, okay!

All right,
I'll call Tommy,

I'll tell him I'm not
taking the damn job.

You happy?

(GRUNTING)

Dad?

Dad?
(EXCLAIMS)

Dad?

What's going on?

SHAWN:
Dad? Dad?

My hand's about to fall off from all
that paperwork they had me filling out.

He's in there
with a heart att*ck,

and you're out here
complaining about forms?

They weren't
gonna treat him

until somebody filled
out the paperwork.

You've really been out of it
since the ambulance ride.

Yeah, well, maybe you're not
going through what I am.

I don't want to talk about
this right now, okay?

Let's just go see
our father.

I thought it would be nice
if he had his own room.

Yeah, well, whatever this nice
room costs, I'm paying half.

Oh, look, don't
worry about it, man.

My stepfather's
willing to help out.

You know, it's...

My dad and I do not need
charity from your family.

Shawn, you don't need...

No. How much does
this room cost?

(SIGHS) How much
does the room cost?

$ , .
Oh. Okay.

A day.

What, are they out of
their freaking minds?

Well, here's to start.
Oh, come on.

Take it.

"For ours is a love
unlike any

"there has ever been

"or ever will be again.

"What I feel for you
transcends love itself

"as two souls become one

"on this, our wedding day."

Oh!

This is really beautiful.

But, uh...

I think I'd rather wait until our
wedding day to hear your vows.

Those aren't my vows.
Those are your vows.

(CHUCKLES)

Uh, Topanga,
I appreciate your input,

but don't you think I can
write my own wedding vows?

You're right.
Why don't you try?

Okay.

Sometimes two people
who love each other

are in love.

And because
of that love...

They love each other.

All right,
you write the vows.

Okay, now, regarding
our wedding night.

Topanga!

Bermuda.

I'll call you
whatever you want.

No, Cory, we're gonna
honeymoon in Bermuda.

It's the perfect climate,
fabulous food,

and just about the best darn
snorkeling this side of anywhere.

But I don't want
to be in the ocean.

I want to be
in the room.

A lot.

Cory, why are you
so obsessed with sex?

Because I don't get any.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Matthews, telephone.

Hold that thought.

Isn't my patient
little Cory cute?

He's not gonna be so cute

when his patient
little head explodes.

Shawn's father
had a heart att*ck.

What happened?
Did you hit me?

You had a heart att*ck.

Where are all
the other patients?

You got your own room.

Well, that can't be good.

Jack paid for it.

Where is Jack?

He's outside
filling out some forms.

Listen, Dad,
I wanted to talk to you

about what I was saying
back at the apartment.

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

What the heck
is wrong with her?

She thinks she caused your heart
att*ck with her cake of death.

I didn't say
my cake caused it.

I said it was
a contributing factor.

Well, that sucker
was rich, man!

I still got
chest pains myself.

Come here, darling.

Not you, you moron!

Look, it weren't
your cake of death

what give me
the heart att*ck.

It was Shawn's
yelling and screaming.

I guess you're feeling better.
I'll go tell Jack you're awake.

I'm so glad you're okay. I was
so scared when it happened.

Yeah, dude, the way your eyes
were bugging out of your head

was totally
cool, man.

Well, I'll tell you,
it's worth living

just to look at
this lovely face.

Oh, you're such
a sweet man.

Is there anything
I can do for you?

There is something
you can do for me.

Tomorrow's Jack's birthday.

If you could pick him up something
nice for me to give him.

Oh, yeah.
You know what?

I think I have
the perfect thing.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Rest up.

Okay, Chet.

Just try to relax,
all right?

Hey.
He's asleep again.

Good.
Sleep is good.

You know, this is
probably gonna sound crazy,

but this whole ordeal could
be a blessing in disguise.

Why would you say that?

He's gonna have to
slow down, right?

So maybe he'll
stick around for a while.

Jack, the second
he gets out of here,

he's going straight
to Vegas.

Don't say that,
'cause you don't know.

No, I do know.
I know him.

I am him.

You're not, Shawn.
Yes, I am.

Why can't I get close
to anybody in my life?

I'm exactly like him.

Look at you and me.
We're brothers, right?

We're not close at all.

Hey.

How you guys
holding up?

Fine. I'll be fine.

Thanks for coming down, Mr. and
Mrs. Matthews. Mr. Feeny.

Boys, take all the time you need.
Don't worry about school.

Just take care of your
dad and yourselves.

Yeah, and you know that
if you need to talk,

we're here.

Shawn?

I'm fine.

Any way you could slip a
little tequila in that thing?

You mean to go with that cigar
you're hiding under the mattress?

(CHUCKLES) You know, I'm dating
this tall, beautiful redhead,

but I'd drop her in a second
for you, sweet buns.

You repulse me.

Well, he's alert.

Hey, how you feeling?

I've been better,
been worse.

Feeny.
Mmm-hmm?

That's some college
they got you at.

You're moving up
in the world, huh?

They got a pool table
and everything.

Maybe when you're
feeling better,

we'll play a little
game of -ball?

bucks?

I'll let you break.

You're on.

Um, Alan, could I
ask you a big favor?

Anything
you want, Chet.

Can you look after
my boys after I'm gone?

Well, you're not
going anywhere.

Chet, you're not dying.

I don't mean dying.

I mean when I move
to Las Vegas.

Well, wouldn't you rather
be here with your boys?

Please look after them.

Of course
I'll look after them.

But I'm not
the one they need.

Shawn?

Oh, hey, guys.

How you doing?

Good. I was just...
Resting my eyes.

How's your dad?

Well, the doctor says he
might need bypass surgery.

Is it okay if we
go in and see him?

Yeah. Yeah,
he'd like that.

(SIGHS)

You okay?

He's lying in there.
He's sick.

I should be putting
my arms around him

and telling him
that I love him.

But I can't, Cory, because I
am still so angry at him.

You know, Shawnie, all these
years he's been sort of

blowing in and out
of your life.

But now you got him
right in there,

and he isn't
going anywhere.

Maybe I'm not the one
you should be talking to.

(WHISPERING)
How's he doing?

He looks so helpless.

Yeah, well, his nurse didn't seem
to think he was so helpless.

I offered her a job taking
care of him when he gets home.

I think you can
still hear laughing.

He doesn't need a nurse.
I can take care of him.

Look, uh, he needs professional
care, Shawn, you know?

I just, you know, arranged
for it to happen. It's okay.

Wow.

You've got this whole situation
figured out, don't you?

I'm just trying to take
care of things, man.

Yeah, yeah. Well, I guess
it's easy to be efficient

when you're not
feeling what I am.

Don't tell me how
I'm feeling, okay?

I'm his son, too.

Are you?

When you were
a little kid,

did you sit next to him while
he watched TV all night long,

hoping that he'd say
something to you?

Did you ever once clean up after
him when he came home drunk?

And when he didn't
come home at all,

did you lay in bed thinking
it was something you did

that drove him away?

And when he was gone,

did you walk around and make
believe that everything was okay,

when inside it was
tearing you apart?

Did you?

No.

No, I didn't get to do
any of those things.

You see, I knew
I had a father,

and he was gone from
me my whole life.

But you turned out
okay, Jack.

Look at you.
You know who you are.

You deal with things. Me, I'm
just another version of him.

Shawn.

Oh, God, Dad,
you're up.

I'm sorry I didn't
do right by you, Son.

I'm a lousy father.

You heard
what I said?

Yeah.

You been saying it
your whole life.

I just never listened.

I'm listening now.

I've really
screwed up, Dad.

It's like I'm watching
myself do these things

that I hate,

and I can't
stop them.

Why couldn't you
just stick around?

Wasn't I good enough
for you?

No, Shawn. I wasn't
good enough for you.

I need you, Dad.

I need you, too, Son.

And this time, boys,

I'm staying.

I'm not going anywhere.

Not this time.

You mean it?

'Cause I feel like...

I feel like you're the
only one who can help me.

We're a family.

It's about damn time
we started acting like one.

Hey, hey, you.

You got a birthday
coming up.

(GRUNTS)

Here.

Open it up.
See what I got you.

(SIGHS)

Dad, what's wrong?

Maybe you better
call somebody.

Shawn, uh...

Dad?

Somebody help!
A doctor!

(WHISPERING)
I'm sorry, Shawn.

Dad?

Dad!

He's been up there
a long time.

Guys, I really hope
your dad's gonna be okay.

Yeah. So do I.

Chet is a fighter, boys.

And besides, he owes
me a game of pool.

Hey.

You gonna open
your present?

Yeah.

Well, that's something
I don't have.

We lost him.

His heart wasn't
strong enough.

I'm sorry, boys.

I'm sorry.
