01x03 - There's No 'Ryan' in Team

Post by bunniefuu »

Welcome back to the
Ryan King show,

it's a brand new
season, football fans,

full of hope and promise.

We've eaten the broccoli
that is baseball,

and now it's time
for dessert.

But first, today.
Cut day.

Rosters slashed to 53 men.

You woke up this morning
a Denver bronco,

you'll go to bed
a gym teacher.

Damn it!

I'm a coach,
the cuts just don't happen.

I can't lower the boom.

Ryan King cannot deliver
bad news.

Hola, senor Ryan.

Hola, Miguel.

Such a nice day, I figured I'd
sneak out my window, and...

Pretend I'm a snake.

Como esta Janie?

Janie's great.

She's great, you...
You just missed her.

She's probably
out buying something.

Senoritas be shoppin', huh?

Estas naranjas

son para Janie.

Right.
Because Janie loves oranges.

Alive, alive Janie.

So you can't tell
your gardener Janie d*ed?

I just can't take
the outpouring, you know?

The guy loved her.

And, I'm sorry, but he
is born of a people who,

as a rule, are not known
for the containment

of their emotions.

Estupidos, my people?

No control emotion?

I mess with you, Ryan King.

It's just that every time
I tell someone,

it's such a thing,
you know?

I should just get a t-shirt
that says, "Janie d*ed."

Or vanity plates
that say "dead wife."

Maybe sharing the news

could be part
of the healing process.

That's too many letters.

Excuse me?

California plates
have seven letters.

"Dead wife" is eight.

Eight without a space.

Great, then I won't get
a license plate

that says "dead wife."

For that reason.

You could do
"d-e-d w-y-f."

Ooh, that works,
and you get the space.

You know, you can check online
to see if they're available.

Okay, you know...
You guys,

I think we're getting
a little bit off-topic.

"She dead,"
"s-h-e d-e-d"?

- "D-e-d w-y-f" is taken.
- Guys, are we...

It is?
Seriously?

I have some issues
to discuss,

should I just go down
to the DMV?

- No...
- Try "nomo wyf."

Mis-typed,
but "she daed" is available.

Okay.
You know what, guys?

I'm... I'm just gonna
tell the gardener.

- Good.
- I'm just gonna tell him,

and hope he
doesn't freak out.

He won't if you
keep it light.

Like this.

She "daed."

I don't want to sit
next to him anymore.

Good morning, everyone.

I come bearing treats!

Okay, so,

I got your fancy new car
coming in on Thursday,

I set up your interview
with Aaron Rodgers,

and you are hitting people
on purpose, aren't ya?

I lost my wife.

People aren't calling me
on things,

it'd be silly
not to take advantage.

So, you are getting
a Porsche, huh?

Yes, but don't judge.
I always wanted one,

and Janie always wanted me
to go for it.

She also wanted you
to develop a spiritual side

and give more to charity.

Yes, but those seem
less fast and awesome.

Dude, you getting sleep?

You emailed me again at, like,
3:00 in the morning.

I got big ideas, I don't know
when they're gonna come!

I don't know when
inspiration's gonna hit me.

Your email read,
"do something with

Peyton Manning
and Dakota fanning."

I'm telling you, I think
there's something there.

Seriously, I know
you're going through a lot.

Is everything okay
with your...

Stuff?

'Cause if you ever
needed to... you know,

or do... whatever,

I could... that.

Thank you, Steven,
that was very inspirational.

I'm gonna go knit that
on a pillow.

A giant, endless pillow.

Poor guy.

At least he's got
his support group.

But I'm his friend.

Does he know he can
talk to me about Janie?

I doubt it.
You don't really give off

the "let's go deep" vibe.

Well, he's never
needed me for that.

I make okay things good
and good things great.

He wants to get a beer,
I say let's get two beers.

He wants to go to dinner,
I say let's go to Vegas.

I've never had to make
something sad less sad.

I want to be able to help.
I think I can.

Can you?

You tell me.

Aahoh.

How does this feel?

Stupid, weird, bad.

Good.

You let it all out.

Dinner time's
the worst for me.

Some man nurse
comes to my room,

tells me it's time
to be hungry at 4:00 P.M.

La puesta del sol.

A mi marido le encanta
la puesta del sol.

The end of the day,
everything's quiet,

the kids are asleep.

We'd always
have a glass of wine.

1:23 A.M.

That's very specific.

Every night, 1:23 A.M.,

Janie used to roll over
in her sleep

and slap me in the face

and scare the living hell
out of me.

So I used to wake up
at that exact moment

every night, you know,
to brace myself.

And I still do.

And now, when that oddly strong
little arm doesn't come,

I realize
that she's gone...

Again...

And it's lonely,
you know?

It's 1:23 A.M.,
there's no one to call.

That was very good, Ryan.

I also get up
around then...

And I'm even more upset.

Don't do that.

Okay.

Hey, new guy.

I'm on board,
you're doing good work.

- You really are, man.
- Yeah.

Thanks, I'm trying.

Who would've thought
on top of everything else,

I'd be so good
at personal growth?

I am a special dude.

What makes guys
be like you?

And you have all
been terrific, too.

I didn't think I'd get much
out of this,

but you guys
make it easy.

I appreciate you.

I thought we were all
gonna do that.

Ryan!

Ryan King!

Tim!

And other work people!

What are you
doing here, man?

I'm here to play.

Heard about the game.

Thanks for showing me
where the basketball court is,

random group of people
I saw walking.

Did he just walk away?

- Yes.
- Yeah, he did.

Aren't you gonna change?

Nah, I think sports have
gotten too casual these days.

- Let's do this.
- All right, let's go.

Hey, you're late.

Yeah, it's 'cause
my new Porsche isn't here yet.

Doesn't come till Thursday.

And if I've done the conversion
from kilometers correctly,

that sucker can go
800 miles an hour.

So...

Life, huh?

Some assembly required,
am I right?

Yeah. What?

It's okay.

I'm scared too.

Could we get some bread
over here?

You know who loved bread?
Janie.

She'd often put butter on it...
Not in a showy way.

It was just about her

and that bread
that she loved so much.

You know, I'm really
starting to regret

not having you speak
at the funeral.

Maybe no Janie talk.

Can you imagine the bread
that they have in heaven?

Maybe no talk at all.

Your hand
is doing something weird.

You guys
need another minute?

No!
Nope, ready to go.

Bring us two of anything.

Two skirt steaks,
two cereals.

Don't leave, though.

You stay here
and have someone else go get it.

Buenos dias,senor Ryan.

Janie.
Donde?

You, uh...

Want me to ask her?

Janie!

The gardener's here,

and he has a little plant
he doesn't know where to...

Miguel, I-I can't lie
to you anymore.

Janie is...

On vacation.

That's another lie.

Janie is...

Muerto.

Yeah, she muerto'd
a couple of months ago.

Muerta?

Please don't be sad.

I'm sorry,
I'm going through a lot, man.

Lo siento, ay?

When it's my turn
to talk,

I got some great stuff
to share.

All right.

Who wants to go first?

- Senorita.
- Anne.

Thank you, Lauren.

I have something
that I would like to discuss.

Why didn't this jackass
introduce us to his friends?

That was my question...

- That was mine too.
- Right.

- Unbelievable.
- Who was that?

Seriously?
This is about basketball thing?

This is about you
being embarrassed by us.

We're here to
meet your friends,

and we gonna show you
what "embarrassed" is.

That's why we're all
dressed up to play.

You're all...

Dressed up,
that's right.

We all decided to suit up...

And mingle with your buddies.

- We're Ryan King's friends...
- That plan was canceled.

Please don't say anything.
And we all came to play!

Isn't that right?

Yeah!

I'm not embarrassed
by you guys.

Come on, you think
we're a bunch of losers.

Well, it is
a support group for loss,

so, technically...

Fausta, what did we say
about hitting?

I only get one.

- She gets one?
- Mm - hmm.

Look, I'm not ashamed
of you guys.

I appreciate
what we do in here,

I'd just like to keep it
contained to this room.

Like a virus?

Or some kind of
captured sewer monster?

Can we get back
to what this room does well,

helping Ryan?

I was up again
at 1:23 A. M....

It's not just about
what we do in this room.

We hang out.

Like Thursday,
we're going bowling.

Really?
Because that sounds like

more of a friend thing.

Wearefriends.

And once a month,
we all get together and go out.

- It's fun.
- Yeah, no.

No, it's not.

Owen makes me
buy him beer,

and Fausta straddles
that ball return and shouts,

"here comes baby!"

Ball sh**t out
like big baby!

- It's so funny.
- No, it sucks.

But we do it... together...
Because we are a group.

And you're gonna
do it too.

See, I think my thing
might be more

not doing that.

You think
you're better than us.

I don't understand.
Why isn't he coming?

We're great!
Aren't we?

I'm feeling very judged
right now.

If you lose it,
I'm gonna throw up!

Okay, everybody,
let's calm down...

What does a big sh*t like you
do on Thursday night?

Hang out with your
big sh*t friends

in big sh*t steak houses
in big sh*t town?

Well, my new Porsche
does come that night.

- My God!
- Come on!

That's right!
I am gonna drive around town

and crank some '80s tunes.

Huey Lewis may be involved.

And the news, possibly.

Bottom line,
I love you guys in here.

It's very valuable.
I'm just not looking for more.

Yes, Mr. K.

May I follow Ryan
around town

in my Chevette?

Yes.

Yes?

Yes!

Do you ever watch sports
in the middle of the night?

I'd call it a wasteland,
but to call it a wasteland

would suggest some sort of fun,
post-apocalyptic adventure.

Still won't let me in.

Did you try
squeezing his hand?

- Yes!
- Yeah, he told me.

That's a weird move, man.

What do I do?

Be a guy.

You know, back in Kentucky,
you'd go hunting.

You'd punch each other
in the face.

You'd get drunk
and fall off a roof.

I choose fake sports.

World's strongest man
competition,

spelling bees,
pie-eating contests.

You thought that he
wanted to hug you,

but he wants to b*at you.

That's a good boss.

Hola, senor Ryan.

Hola, Miguel.

Hey, thanks
for being normal.

I'm not getting
a ton of that these days...

Hel-lo.

Miguel?
Si?

Is there any chance that
this is being built here

to be moved to an...
another house

or perhaps to the bottom
of the deep, blue sea?

Es bueno, si?

What's the opposite
of "bueno?"

No, no, no...

bueno.

Porsche, answer!

No?

Really thought cars
had come a lot further.

- Steven, hello.
- Hey, Ryan.

I need you to meet me,
I got an idea for the two of us.

It's gonna be great.

Okay.

Porsche,
lock on his location.

Engage!

I'm not angry, Porsche,
I'm just disappointed.

Please, please, please,
please, please, please, please.

George...

Facing the wrong way,
buddy.

I know where I'm facin'.

I'm gonna knock down
that tall, white pin

that told me to wear
my basketball uniform.

- I'm sorry, he asked!
- Where is he?

Okay, we've officially
bottomed out.

Ouch!

The baby,
she is coming!

There he is.

Where are we?

Abandoned lot, man!

Perfect place for two men
to connect in a manly way.

Here's the deal,
we're gonna get drunk

and then we're gonna
break some bottles.

Then it's gonna
get real, son.

Inhibitions, bye-bye.

Everything you just said
sounds so awful to me,

let's just hold hands again.
You wanna?

Yeah!

My God.

I'm not finished.

- I have a g*n.
- My good God.

No, this is an air g*n.

But it can still
draw blood

so we can still
make mistakes.

- Have a drink, amigo.
- I don't wanna.

- Yeah, do it.
- I'm not gonna.

- Dude, c'mon.
- I don't wanna, I'm not gonna.

You gotta drink.

If you don't, then th...

This all seems stupid.

All you wanna do
is go to the stupid group.

Look, I know you're
just trying to help,

but you are...

- Really terrible at this.
- I know.

I mean, awful.

So this, uh, group,

they're good for you?

Yeah...

And I kind of
abandoned them tonight.

They had this group outing,
bowling,

and I didn't handle it
very well.

Go to them.

Now.

Go, before I
change my mind.

Not really
for you to decide.

Man, the cops.

- Porsche! Ignition on!
- Does it do that?

- It should, right?
- Yes!

You used my ball.

What difference
does it make?

I don't trust
your fingers!

Well, well, well.

Look what the cat
dragged in.

Cats don't do that!

It's a stereotype
perpetuated by dog people.

Look, I'm sorry

I acted like I didn't want
to be part of the group.

And if you'll let me,
I would like to

not have fun
with you guys tonight.

No!

No "aww."

Just tell me
when to do it then.

When he's earned it.

I came. I'm here.

What more do you want?

How's your car?

Yeah.

New, expensive,

and very precious to me.

I wanna drive that bitch.

You are on the wrong side
of 0.08, my friend.

We're not.

It's so fast.

It's so fast!

We, who are about to die,
salute you.

The baby,
she is coming!

Yeah.

Yeah!

I'm not just blind,

I can't drive stick!

Whee!

I want to be very clear,

you're not cooler than me.

You know it, I know it,

and your car
is about to know it.

- Hey
- Hello.

What are you guys
doing here?

It's 1:23, right?

Isn't this
when you need someone?

- Hi.
- Hi, come on in.

They showed up
at my house

and told me
they were coming here.

I just want to say,
from the bottom of my heart,

that I took
a prescription sleeping pill,

and I have no idea
what's happening.

Is this your wife?

No, that's Wrigley field.

It's pretty.

Yeah.

This is so nice
of you guys.

Am I the only one
hearing mariachi music?

God, is that my gardener?
Is he still here?

Wait, wait, wait...
You know this song?

Is there any chance
it's called

we're about to remove
this fountain?

No.

I told him about Janie

and he built this thing.

It's weird, and...

I finish.

Gracias,miguel.

Janie.

To Janie.

Is this the group?

You sing and cry
and stuff?

I love this.

What are you doing here?

You said you wake up
every night at 1:23.

I wanted to be there
for you.

It's 1:28.
We got here on time.

It's five more minutes
of helping.

I'm glad you're here.

Steven,
these are my friends.

Yes.

And guys,
this is Steven.

- He's my best friend.
- Back in there.

- Hey.
- Hi, Sonia.

- Hi, Anne.
- Steven.

This is the one time

I'm ever going to say
"I told you so,"

but this outpouring
you were trying to avoid

may have been
just what you needed.

You may be right.

Yeah.

This is the one time

I'm ever going to say
"I told you so,"

but this outpouring
you were trying to avoid

may have been
just what you needed.

Okay, honey.

Let's get you some sleep.

Yo te quiero
y tu me quieres.

Pero por maldito orgullo,

nunca voy a regresar.

He's up.
We can make noise again.

My God, slept late.

Hey buddy!

God, I'm starving.

What am I doing here?
