Sacramento (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Nice d*ck!

You can't see it from

all the way over there!

Hi.

I'm Tallie!

Hi!

I'm Rickey!

Hi, Rickey.

You know, I think it's

just us two out here.

I think so too.

You want to meet in the middle?

Like go swimming?

Sure.

Okay.

Ready?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Hey! Wait, wait, wait!

Dammit.

No, no, no. I don't want to.

I thought we had a deal.

I wasn't sure, I wasn't sure.

It's all right.

It's cold.

Okay, sorry.

Favorite number?

Okay. Three.

- Two. One.

- Two. One.

- 36.

- Five.

36?

- We need to pick,

we need to narrow the

category a little bit.

That was too

infinite of a choice.

It's vast.

Favorite "Friends" character.

Okay.

Three, two, one.

- Shally.

- Phoebe.

Shally?

I almost started

to say my name.

I was going to say, is

there a Shally in the show

that I'm not unaware of?

You know who

I'm talking about.

- One or the other.

- We have to do

still or sparkling.

- Still or sparkling.

- Three.

Two. One.

- Still.

- Sparkling.

I hate sparkling water.

I love sparkling.

No one hates it.

We have nothing in common.

So sad.

What if this is it?

We just formed a new colony.

You and I had 12 kids.

Started a new system

of government.

You think we'd survive?

Yeah.

I'd do it.

I think you would bail though.

Hmm?

Yeah.

Hmm.

Why do you say that?

It's all over your face.

Peekaboo.

Daddy face.

Hi, honey.

Oh, where am I?

Where am I? Where am I?

Here I am.

Okay.

Height feels right.

We're all tight back here.

Oh.

Huh.

Ooh.

Not crazy about that.

This.

Hmm.

Aagh!

Whew.

Hey. You're back early.

Why did you do that?

I regret it. It was a mistake.

Okay.

Do you want to talk about it?

Please. Yeah.

But there was a crick.

Okay.

It's making a sound?

Yeah. That's

important context.

And I kind of blacked out.

And then, you know,

you don't have to worry.

How was shopping?

You get some yummy stuff?

Your hands are shaking, honey.

No.

That's low blood sugar.

Yeah, I'll get a cr*cker.

Oh, that feels nice.

Yeah.

I thought so.

You feeling a little better?

Yeah.

Good.

'Cause I shouldn't

have to take care

of you right now, Glenn.

I don't want you to.

I don't want to.

Right.

You need me to chill.

Right.

Just gotta chill.

That's a good note.

No, it's a good note.

Yeah, no, thank you for that.

It's an actionable note.

Funny thing is, I

feel stressed talking

to you about it,

and I think it's

transferring to us somehow.

And so I need you to kind of

control your side of that.

Okay, I get it.

I mean, I love the way

you're wording all of that.

But you remember what

Dr. Mayer said, right?

Yeah, breathing

through the nose.

I'm doing it. I've

been doing it.

Yeah, the breathing, but also,

you know, if anything

happens with your job that

I can float us.

Yeah.

You'd be the

primary caregiver.

And in about a year, you

can look for another job.

And it's really no big deal.

No.

And you're cool with that?

As a cucumber.

Thank you.

As an actual cucumber.

Love you.

I'm meeting Clarissa,

I'll see you later.

Oh good, I love Clarissa.

Love you two as friends.

See you, babe.

I think, Sal,

that you were saying last

week that your father,

who's a psychiatrist, right?

Mm-hmm.

The hours he put

in at work really got to you.

Yeah?

Well, he worked hard.

He was a provider.

Hmm.

But you never told

him how you felt.

And you didn't confide in him

when you became very depressed

after your best friend's death.

No, I didn't.

Why not?

Rickey.

We talked about this, remember?

Yes, we did.

Sorry, doc.

I think though,

I do just want to

try something here

and it's a little

bit unconventional.

But Sal, why don't you look

over there at Mrs. Krenshaw?

Mrs. Krenshaw, do you mind?

Perfect.

Alright, Sal, look

over at Krenshaw.

Plant your feet.

Now pretend she's your dad.

Okay.

Sal, you don't

have to do this.

That's true.

Only if you want to, Sal.

No, I think I'd like to.

Okay.

Dad, how come you

worked late all the time?

Is it because you didn't

want to come home?

My patients needed me.

I needed you.

Good.

I'm sorry.

Who cares about your sorries?

It's too late for that now.

Okay.

Breathe, Sal.

Good. How do you feel?

I-I think I'm angry.

But you know what, Sal?

Anger is just sadness

with nowhere to go.

Why did you hate me?

Thanks

for hanging back.

Again, no problem, doc.

You know, I thought of

something in there today.

The work works.

Like a slogan or a catchphrase.

- Rickey, you know what?

- And was thinking

it could be so great if we

could put it on a poster

or like hang it from a banner

or something like that.

Kind of draped above the group.

Okay.

Look, um...

I'm here in a

volunteer capacity.

So I don't have the authority

to kick you out of group.

But you need to stop

coming to group.

Really?

Again, I can't kick you out.

That's not what's happening.

Why, though?

I mean, I feel like I-I

bring so much to the table.

I have a youthful energy and...

You do.

I-I thought maybe of starting

my own grief recovery group,

and I was going to pick

your brain about that.

That's something you

need to be educated for

and licensed for.

And do you guys provide

those services, or?

No, we're a convalescent home.

Look, Rickey, when

you first came to us,

you were a different person.

And the work you did with your

father was truly inspiring.

And recently, you've

done some beautiful,

beautiful work on yourself.

But, if you were

to stay any longer,

you'd be ignoring the obvious.

You have the tools

and now you can go

out and use them.

Where do I go?

Well, we usually suggest

staying with family

or in your case, a close friend.

Guess who just downloaded

the Headspace app?

Honestly, I feel better already.

I love that.

Did you meditate?

No.

No, but just knowing it's

there is so effective.

'Tchudoin'? Working?

Oh.

Sorry.

How we doing? How's our year?

We in the red? We in the black?

How are we looking?

Working.

Yeah.

Working momma.

Oh, I ordered a new crib.

Cool. Yeah.

All right, babe.

I'm just going

to watch some YouTube

work boot review videos,

and probably just

make pasta for dinner.

That sound good?

Just plain pasta.

Yeah. Yeah.

Plain buttered

noodles sounds great.

You want butter?

Yeah, you can do

that. It's easy.

Mother f*ck me!

What?

It's Rickey.

Rickey's here.

What? Where?

Get back.

He's hiding in the Shamel ash.

I think he wants to

scare my f*cking a*s.

Just let him scare

you and bring him in.

I don't want him to

see you're pregnant.

What, you're not telling

him about the baby?

I'm phasing him out.

Why?

He's a grown man

who hides in trees.

And you're on the

floor hiding from him.

He disappears for

months at a time.

I don't trust him.

I don't enjoy his company.

I don't want to

associate with him.

He's your best friend.

Whoa, buddy!

We just talked about this.

I'm sorry.

I have this under control.

Give me all your money,

I'm the tree burglar!

Aagh!

Whoa, Rickey!

- Ow!

- What are you doing here?

Yep. I rolled it.

Aagh!

Aagh.

No call, no text.

Just trespassing.

Get some lunch?

Lunch? At noon?

Yeah.

Why you busy?

Kind of. Yeah.

I need, I gotta pop over

to Lowe's in a little bit.

Hey, well, let me

come say hi to Rosie.

No, she's taking a dump, dump.

It's not the right time.

I will say hi later.

Yeah, another time.

Hey, baby.

Hey.

Give me a kiss.

No.

- Come on.

- No, no, no.

- Kiss me.

- No, knock it off.

No, no, no.

Give me a kiss.

Knock it off, man.

Wow.

Good core strength.

Tight. Strong.

You working out?

A little.

How many pushups can you do?

What? In a row?

Yeah.

I don't know. 30.

- Nice.

- You?

We're getting lunch.

Come on.

Okay. Don't turn around.

Don't turn around.

Stay right there.

Don't turn around. Trust me.

Trust me, you do not

want to turn around yet.

Hold on.

Okay.

Turn around.

Aha.

No f*cking way.

What?

Is that the original Betsy?

Sure is.

No way.

Uh-huh. Found her.

I thought she died.

Oh, she did.

But a little engine

work, a little body work.

She's back.

How much you spend?

I don't know.

Like five-something.

Thousand?

Yeah, something like that.

I paid 1,100 for

this car, 10 years ago.

Yeah.

But I mean, f*cking Betsy.

How's Rosie?

Fine.

Healthy?

Yeah.

And there's nothing

else you want to tell me?

No.

You still work

at the Death Star?

Yeah.

I did read that they're

having some big layoffs.

Sure.

You good?

Not worried.

And even if they did let me go,

I have something else lined up.

Okay.

Better than okay.

Way better.

You all right, man?

What?

I don't know,

you're just like...

You're just all out

of whack right now.

You're all like pent up.

You haven't said anything funny.

Just loosen up.

You're just talking

to me, good old Rick.

I'm just checking in.

Like, what do you do?

Like, who do you hang out with?

Do you have any friends?

How do you blow off steam?

I have friends.

Why does everybody tell

me I don't have friends?

Okay, who are your friends?

Tom Umstead.

Your old roommate

from college?

We're very good friends.

Right.

When we get

together, it's like...

Oh, it's fun.

He's cool.

I could only imagine.

- Hi.

- Hello.

I took the liberty.

Thank you.

I don't want that.

Come on. Really?

Just a sip.

You don't have to

drink the whole thing.

Just have a sip.

I don't want it. Respect that.

Want to grab some coffee?

Why didn't you get one to go?

I forgot.

Fine. But then

I gotta get back.

Whatever

you say, pal.

Hey Glenn-O.

I'm good.

Have I done something

to offend you?

No.

Is it because I

showed up unannounced?

I'm sorry.

I really am.

It's just that you're

a very hard guy

to get ahold of sometime.

Phone's on silent.

I like to stay present.

And I-I can appreciate that.

It's just that, you

know, we're down

to one meal a year

at this point.

We're growing apart.

I get it. It's part of life.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But can we just drive

around and have fun

for 15 f*cking more minutes?

Hey, what do you say we open

this baby up a little bit?

See what she's made of.

Yeah?

Yeah.

See if she's got the old stuff.

Oh, she's got it.

Still got it.

What do you say?

You want to go to Sacramento?

Yeah, sure. Let's

go to Sacramento.

Really?

Yeah, f*ck it.

You sure?

Yeah, let's go on an

unplanned, long-a*s drive

to a city I know nothing about

and have no desire to be in.

Sounds fun!

I think so, too.

Alright.

Can't believe we're

really doing it.

Alrighty, my friend.

I got us a couple waters,

got us some beef

jerky, couple T-shirts,

all for our road

trip to Sacramento.

Meadow.

Okay. Uncle.

f*ck you.

Come again?

I say f*ck you.

I give up. You win.

I don't want to go.

You're the big man

with the huge d*ck.

Can we go back to

Los Angeles now?

My dad died.

What?

Oh man.

I'm sorry.

When?

Last month.

sh*t. I didn't know.

Yeah.

I gotta go to Sacramento.

Gotta scatter his ashes.

He loves it up there.

Loved.

I don't know why I didn't just

tell you in the first place.

I just...

Just thought it would be fun

to make it a dumb

fun thing, you know?

But...

You should have

said something.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks, man.

I'll take you back.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Well...

had some people up there?

He had some family or anything?

Yeah. Yeah.

No.

But I'll be good.

I'll go up with ya.

Come on.

Stop.

Really?

You were there for

me when my dad died.

Oh yeah.

Fun weekend.

Call Rosie.

Yeah, yeah. Give her a call.

Hey.

Hey hun.

He played the dead dad card.

I knew it.

I always knew he was going

to use that against me.

I mean, I don't know.

I think this is kind of

the perfect opportunity

for you guys to reconnect.

Are you going to be okay?

I think I'll survive.

You don't sound upset.

Are you kidding? I'm enraged.

I can barely stand it.

He's just so manipulative.

I mean, why wouldn't he tell

me this right off the bat?

Just go work it out.

Go up. Work it

out in Sacramento.

Oh, honey, don't.

Don't do that. Please.

Are you very mad?

I told you I'm very mad.

I'm so mad I can

barely talk to you.

I think you should just

get off the phone now

and get up there before

I change my mind.

Okay.

Sounds like you're

going to miss me.

I already do.

Me too.

Have some fun, okay?

Okay.

All right. Be strong.

Did you catch all that?

Yeah. That's your dad.

He's going away for the weekend,

which is pretty nice.

So we get to do

whatever we want.

Hey, sorry I missed you.

You know the drill.

Umstead.

Mullen.

Hey.

Sorry.

Sorry, man, I swallowed

some bad air there.

Got an anthill here.

How are you, man?

It's Glenn Mullen.

Been a while, m*therf*cker.

Just calling to say, hey.

Where are you right now?

Are you in Phoenix?

I don't even know

when we talked last,

but it's been too long, man.

It's always a good time, right?

It's always a blast.

Alright, so just give

me a shout, buddy.

And let's have one

of our fun lunches

whenever we're in the same place

and just have a good time, okay?

Love to you and yours, buddy.

Glenn Mullen.

See you later. Call me back.

Let's go.

Go louder, baby.

Are you taking the cans?

Here, let me get

on the six string.

There's something

about the weather

You back on that?

What are you taking?

You take the six string.

I got the cans.

They call it the

Indian spring

Hey, leave the

skins to me, Rick.

Hey, Rick.

I got the skins.

We shouldn't both do it.

You're in Sacramento,

a wonderful town

Sing, sing

Sing, din, din-din

Sacramento

This is a long f*cking drive.

Six hours.

We are halfway there.

What was your dad's

connection to Sacramento?

He was from there.

Oh right.

But I thought your

family was Chicago?

They are.

His parents were

born in Sacramento.

He's from there.

Sac Boy. Sac Town for life.

Nice.

You want the ashes scattered

somewhere specific?

Off the cliffs.

Of Sacramento.

The bluffs. Into the Pacific.

Pacific...

Ocean?

I think so.

Is there access to the

ocean from Sacramento?

Sure.

It's just north of San Fran.

And inland I think.

- Maybe a little.

- It's well inland.

Huh.

Yeah, I think when

he meant cliffs,

he meant like overlooking the

lake or river or something.

Oh right.

The man loves the view.

He gave me pretty

broad discretion, so.

I'm sure it'll be obvious

when we get there.

Right, right.

Sometimes an

anthropologist will go in there

and spend time with them,

but what they're not

finding in those tribes

is type 2 diabetes.

And they're not finding IBS.

Industrialization has

kind of led to this

brand new group of diseases,

chronic diseases that all seem

to be stemming from

chronic issues.

That's right.

Hey now.

Woo!

Hey! Hey!

Sacramento!

Woo!

Yeow!

Good driving.

Mind if we make a

little pit stop?

Papa needs some provisions.

House full of memories

All the anniversaries

People come and go

"Dear Mr. Mullen:

We hope this finds you well.

This is the worst

part of my job.

We regret to inform you..."

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Find everything you need.

So weird. So f*cking weird.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Ben's

No Oil Hydrating Cream

with sunblock. SPF 50.

But all I'm finding here is

the no oil hydrating cream.

It would be there.

But it isn't.

I mean, I've been looking.

I've been looking,

looking, looking.

Then we don't have it.

Do you think maybe

you have it in the back?

It's not there.

You know that for certain?

Yep.

That's impressive.

That's impressive.

They do have the Reef

Friendly Sunscreen.

Get that sh*t back there.

Please just stay out of this.

This isn't your battle, okay?

Listen, I got no beef with you.

Okay?

All I need is protection.

That's why I come in here. Okay?

What's your problem with me?

I can't have that.

I don't have a

problem with you.

Well, you don't have a

customer anymore either.

Anymore.

Sorry about that.

I don't think these are

really my prescription.

I'm just kidding.

Just messing with you.

He's kind of stressed.

He's about to have a baby.

Hey.

- Hey.

- You good?

Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.

I just don't like

when people lie.

Burns my a*s.

Mine too.

Yeah.

Get a nice little drink.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sound nice?

Sounds great.

Alright, I'm going

to hit the head.

Yeah.

Women, whiskey and wine

That's all you

got on your mind

Tommy. Glenn again.

Hey, listen, on my last message,

I forgot to give you

kind of a big update,

little update that we found

out about seven months ago.

My life is going to change.

I'm going to be a papa.

Yeah, man. Rosie's pregnant.

Yes. So it's pretty exciting.

I just, I just lost my job,

which throws a wrench into

our whole kind of plan

and our whole family

planning thing.

Yeah, but Rosie's down

to be the breadwinner

for a while, which is dope.

So it makes me a

stay-at-home dad.

Which is kind of

cool. I like it.

I mean, I'm still kind of trying

to figure out all my

feelings about it.

So I'd love to bounce

everything off of you

and just pick your brain.

That crazy f*cking brain.

Okay, man. Give me a call.

And if I don't

pick up right away,

just try me back right away

'cause I keep the

phone on silent.

But I normally get

the second attempts.

See you later, man.

To your pop.

And to us.

Huh?

Good luck.

Oh!

Woo!

That one rung the bell.

There he is.

- Oh.

- He's back, baby.

He's back.

You happy?

Woo.

Oh boy.

I mean, yeah, he's fun.

No thanks.

Oh, come on.

They were just looking my way.

I can't, I can't help but be me.

You can do whatever you want.

You're a single guy.

And as long as they continue

to respect my boundaries,

then we're golden.

They're going to

respect your boundaries.

Okay?

What is it with you

and the boundaries?

What's happened to you?

I have a new set of

priorities in my life now.

And if I'm speaking honestly,

I regret my past behaviors.

I'm glad those

days are behind me.

Mm.

Something else is behind you.

There's two of us.

I'll handle this.

Oh, no, you went too soon.

I touched it though.

That counts, right?

That's something.

No, that's a scratch.

Come on.

It's bad mileage.

Gas. It eats up gas,

which is annoying.

You know, you gotta

refill it all the time.

And you know?

You know, cars need gas.

You know, what can you do?

I mean, it's like food for them.

It's fuel for them.

So, yeah, we

both used to fight

and now we just

train other fighters.

Wow.

So you must have a lot

of injuries and scars.

Yeah.

See, I only have one

and it's all on my ear. See?

I got three butterfly

stitches right there.

That little thing right there?

Ton of blood.

How long have

you been married?

Oh, no, I wasn't...

Four years. Yeah.

Four happy years.

Happily married.

Closed marriage.

Oh, that's too bad.

You know, here.

Pardon my reach here.

Oh, no. Go for it.

No. Just, you know?

See, it's all in

the elbow motion.

Okay.

And we still grazed it.

Yeah, you know,

being married comes

with responsibilities. You know?

And even, you know...?

I'm not saying we have like

this kinetic sexual energy.

Oh, we don't.

No, but whatever

energy there is...

None.

I've got to find somebody

To tell me what to do

Oh I'll melt away like ice

If I don't get no advice

Will there be anyone

To tell me where

I went wrong

There's got to be a way

And I know I must be strong

- Oh!

- Oh my God!

Wow.

La, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

La, la

La, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

La, la

La, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

La, la

La, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

La, la

Holy sh*t!

This is your place?

Oh, my God.

Glenn.

Holy sh*t!

Here we go.

Oh!

Oh, I should stop him.

Woo!

Come on.

Careful with the

ropes there, champ.

Here we go.

Watch and learn.

Come on. Do a move on me.

Oh. Likes to be

dominated, huh?

Oh. I've been a bad boy.

Oh, well then,

you deserve to be punished.

Can you actually

not cross those?

Because it can really

damage the equipment,

if the cord goes

over the wheels.

So if you could just...

If the cord does what?

Glenn-O!

Come on.

No thanks.

Don't even.

Remember the setup in

your dad's basement?

We taped air-mattresses

together.

I broke my wrist.

I remember.

Come on! Get your

a*s up here, pal.

That's not our

property, my boy.

Oh. I mean, we don't care.

You can use it. It's filthy.

It's filthy.

Oh, stop containing

your excitement.

You! Glenn Mullen.

I am calling you out.

Come on!

Get your a*s up

here and fight me.

Woo!

Tonight is the night

that it goes down.

Tonight is the night that best

friend become mortal enemies.

Woo!

Does that look like

a guy who's scared?

Get your a*s in this

ring, Glenn Mullen.

Do I look like a guy?

Tonight is that night that

it's going down in Sac Town.

Woo!

One of us is going to

end up in the clinic.

Me and you. Glenn Mullen.

I had to leave the country

Let's go.

Though there was

some nice folk there

And now I don't

know where I'm going

All I know is I'll

hit the ground running

Bony cowboys and

Southern gentlemen

Bedding women

That'll never mend

They ride the roads

As they bend

I had to leave the country

Though there was

some nice folk there

Oh!

Holy...!

Nice. It's soft flooring.

I'm going to bed. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Oh, wow. Does a baby live here?

No, these are my toys.

I play with them and

throw them everywhere.

Come.

Hmm?

- Come.

- Sh.

Goodnight, pal.

Thanks.

So, you're a mom.

I'm a mom, yes.

And the father is...?

A really cool guy.

Who's, I don't know,

probably off somewhere

being really cool.

Huh.

Oh. Just...

doing it all on your own.

You can, you

can take this off.

It makes you more comfortable.

Oh yeah.

Hmm.

What?

Nothing. I'm just...

You're so brave.

Good.

I can't imagine

what that's like.

Yeah, I'm...

I'm amazing. You know?

Thank you.

Strong.

You are. You're

physically strong.

Obviously, you're jacked,

but also like emotionally.

I have a question.

Holy sh*t. Yeah.

Do you have like

a support system,

like your parents or Jess?

Yeah.

Well, it's nice.

That must help a lot. I imagine.

You guys must be really close.

Yeah. I mean,

we live together.

She's my best friend.

Right, right. Well,

that makes sense.

Hey, Arielle.

Mm-hmm.

Do you think we can not...

have sex tonight?

Oh, really?

Oh f*ck.

Dearest Glenn,

went to the farmers

market with the girls.

It was papa's fave.

I miss you, too.

You sound hungover.

Three Budweisers

and two tequila shots.

How would you feel?

I'm only a man.

Wow, so you

guys raged last night.

Never drinking again.

Oh. Did you hear

from your job?

No. No. No.

No. No.

Great. That's good, right?

That's really good news.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

My God, these women

live like animals.

What women?

You know what?

I refuse to lie.

Honey, there was some morally

ambiguous behavior last night.

Maritally speaking.

I'm titillated.

What, you don't think

I'm capable of infidelity?

I'm sure you

were a gentleman, honey.

I was.

Hey, you know,

I Facebooked Rickey's mom

just to offer our condolences.

And uh, you know, his

dad died like a year ago.

What? Are you sure?

Yeah.

Cancer.

It is really very sad.

A year ago?

He told me he died last month.

He f*cking lied.

I don't know, I guess it

doesn't really matter though.

Well, scattering someone's

ashes a year after they die,

is that even legal?

What? Yeah.

Sure. What?

Well, it's highly unusual.

Doesn't make much sense to me.

I bet you his father wasn't

even from Sacramento.

He thought he was near

the f*cking ocean.

Well, I don't know.

Everyone processes

their grief differently.

Maybe you should

just try and chill.

Be there for him, if you can.

Yeah.

Cherries

are my favorite.

- Yeah, they look nice.

- They're really good.

They look real nice.

The pits sometimes

get a little large.

Get a little stuck in my throat.

Hey.

Just be honest.

- I will.

- Really nice to meet you.

It was nice to meet you too.

Good luck with the garden.

Thanks.

Good luck with your gym.

Thanks.

- Okay.

- Okay.

See you, Jess.

Drive safe.

- Yeah.

- Hey, pal.

He was a big fan.

Agassi guy.

Well, you old man.

You were flawed.

But aren't we all?

You were a little

late to the game

in the parenting department,

but you made a strong comeback

at the end there and...

I'll always cherish the last

couple months we had together.

We didn't always see eye to eye.

I'm not just talking about

the height difference.

But you were stubborn.

Stubborn, old b*stard.

Fare-thee-well, Pop.

I love you.

And also,

f*ck you.

Amen.

Well, that's that.

Breakfast?

Hey, Rick.

You want to tell me something?

What do you mean?

Come here. Let's sit.

I know your dad

didn't die last month.

He died a year ago.

Also, all four of my

grandparents were cremated.

So I've seen the ashes

of human remains.

They don't have trash in them.

What's going on?

Okay, Glenn.

Cards on the table.

I didn't bring you up here

to scatter the ashes

of my dead father.

I know that. I

just told you that.

I brought you up to Sac

because I'm worried about you.

You're worried about me?

Rick-

- Okay, let me talk.

No, I'm not going to do that.

Just let me get this in.

I'm going to say

something first.

Okay, I'll let you

talk. I'll listen.

You are going

through something.

You need my help.

So instead of playing

all these games,

why don't you just tell

me what's going on?

Maybe I can help, maybe not.

But this is about you.

Glenn, you might not

like how this sounds,

but what you're doing right

now is textbook projecting.

Now, projecting is

when you're talking-

I know what projecting is.

I let you speak.

Okay, go ahead.

Projecting is when you're

talking about yourself,

but you think you're

talking about someone else.

And that's exactly

what you're doing.

Well, that would

suggest I'm right then.

But I'm not

projecting. You are.

That's just

called gaslighting.

Gaslighting.

- I know what gaslighting is

and you are the one

doing it, to me.

I see a lot of anger.

That's actually sympathy.

Let me in, Glenn.

You are in.

I've invited you in.

Make yourself comfortable

and tell me what's going on.

I'm worried about my friend.

So am I.

Hmm.

You get us a table.

I'll find us a spot.

Okay.

Breakfast, then back to LA.

You got it, pal.

Thank you.

Thank you so

much for your help.

I really appreciate it.

Thank you for your service.

Yep.

sh*t.

Oh, I'm dead, I'm

dead, I'm dead.

Lost the juice, huh?

Ah.

Here we go.

Beautiful. Ah.

Thank you.

Dammit.

I should of got a half stack.

Holy mackerel.

Here, pal.

There we go.

Want some syrup?

There we go.

Oh crap, crap, crap!

- What?

- Crap, crap!

Are you serious?

What?

Closed?

Unbelievable.

Who's closed on a Sunday?

It's an impound.

They're all closed

on the weekends.

Then how do they

get the cars in there?

You can drive in the gate.

But they don't...

No one...

I don't want to talk about this.

f*ck!

Okay, you know what?

This is my bad.

I'm going to make this

up to you right now.

Okay? Let me get

you out of here.

Let me get you out of here.

I'll get you on the

first flight out.

Okay. Got a flight

here for 250 bucks.

Leaves at 7:15 PM.

Jesus. I don't know.

Where does it land?

Long Beach.

Gets you in about 9:00 PM.

Take a cab both ways.

About 400 bucks, give or take.

Or, option B.

We spend one more

night in Sacramento.

Do something fun.

This is your call. Up to you.

Your call. On my dime.

Um...

Rosie's calling.

Give it to me.

Hey hun, everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, everything's fine.

I just got back

from the hospital.

What?

But we don't have

another appointment

until three weeks from now.

I know that, but

I had some bleeding.

And to be extra cautious,

they just told me to come in.

Okay.

You listened to your instinct,

and you did the right thing.

What did the doc say?

Is this common?

Give me the scoop.

It's not super common,

but it does happen.

It's when the placenta

covers the cervix.

So, apparently, it's not

a big deal, a huge deal.

My cousin had it, and it's fine.

But I'm going to probably

have a C-section now.

Cool.

What? They're going

to cut my girl.

Yeah, they're going

to cut your girl.

Okay. Okay.

Well, I'll let them cut

my girl just this once.

Okay.

You're a tough momma.

I love you very much.

I love you, too.

Wow!

What?

Nothing.

Just surprised by how

cool you're being.

I thought you were

going to freak out.

Yeah, well, panicking

never solved anything.

Alright? I want you

to remember that.

So sorry my phone died.

I mean, it's fine.

To be honest with you,

I didn't even call

you until I got home.

Oh.

I just thought

I had it handled.

And if I looped you in,

it would be another

complication.

You mean I would be.

Yeah.

You're not helpful in

situations like this.

You're kind of the

opposite of helpful.

Well, I'm going to

respectfully disagree

with you on that point.

I could provide some examples.

Well, and I want to hear them.

Why don't we earmark

this conversation

and we'll revisit it?

'Cause I do want to hear

you out on all that.

Okay?

Okay.

I'll talk to you

later. I love you.

Love you.

Bye.

Baby!

Wow.

Mazel!

I'm very angry.

It's called misplaced anger.

Stop telling me what

things are called.

Okay.

Aagh.

No. No.

Stop. Ow!

Glenn, Glenn.

Stop. Ow!

Stop it. Stop it.

Ow! Stop!

Ow!

Jesus! Glenn.

Holy sh*t!

You stop!

I'm going to take you down.

- No!

- I'm going to take you-

I'll take you!

Stop it, Glenn.

- You stop it!

- Stop it.

Stop it.

- Please stop it.

Alright, alright.

Let go of my hand.

Alright.

Are you done?

Are you happy?

Really? No.

No.

You're right.

I lied.

My dad died last year.

And he wasn't born

in Sacramento.

Actually, I don't think

he ever stepped foot

here in his entire life.

Why then?

Who's that?

Hey, Rickey.

It's Tallie.

Remember me?

Call me back whenever you can.

It's Tallie again.

Uh, you haven't called back,

so I'm not sure you

got the message.

Or just assuming you

don't want to talk

or hear from me, which is fine.

Something has come up

and I thought you

might want to know.

Or not.

Hey, so I am pregnant.

And you're definitely

the father.

So, yeah.

Anyway.

I'm going to have the baby.

So, you will be a dad.

Uh, congrats.

And uh, I'm not asking

you for anything.

Time, energy, money,

or really not

asking you to care.

I just thought you should know.

So, if you'd like to talk,

I'm available for the

next 9 to 10 months.

If not, that's okay too.

You're all good. Be well.

This is Tallie, by the way.

When I saw the crib

in the yard yesterday,

I just imagined us going

on this journey together.

I imagined our kids

becoming best friends.

I just thought these

babies could be the glue

to our broken relationship.

Glenn?

Glenn!

Please. Glenn.

Come on, Glenn!

I just need help. Okay?

Please help. Please.

What, you want

me to lie to her

like you lie to everyone?

No.

You don't even have

to say anything.

You just have to stand there.

Rickey, as a piece of

non-friendship objective advice,

I really think you

should reconsider.

This is just bad,

bad planning, bad idea.

It's not the right way

to start a relationship

with your child.

I know. Glenn.

Look.

You got stuck with me. Okay?

We got put in the same

lane at swim class,

but there was a connection.

You tried to drown me.

I'm a bad swimmer.

I swallowed a quart of water

and got chlorine poisoning.

They took me away

in an ambulance,

my mother thought I was dead.

Glenn.

Just this one last act

of friendship for me.

Please.

You'll never hear from me again.

Okay?

That'll be it.

Why do you need me there?

Because I can't do it alone.

And if you are there,

she won't think I'm a joke.

Remember me?

Yeah.

Mmm.

This is good coffee.

French press?

Uh, Keurig.

Hmm.

Not very good for

the environment.

What?

Nothing.

It's crazy you're here.

Well, there he is.

Yeah.

Do you want to...

hold?

If that's all right.

Yeah. Yeah.

Here.

Hey.

Whoa.

I kind of forgot

what you look like.

He looks like you.

Yeah, he kind of

does. Doesn't he?

Hey.

Glenn. Look.

My son.

I can see that.

I'm sorry. Who are you?

Glenn Mullen.

You mind if I plug in here?

Yeah. Go ahead, Glenn.

- Appreciate it.

- So, what is this?

What? Are you visiting?

Yes.

With...

With an option to extend.

I think, he's gotta go down

for a nap.

- Okay. I'm sorry.

It's okay. Come.

It's okay. Come here.

I know. I know.

Bye, Ray.

I don't love the bangs.

But the kid is...

Aren't you ashamed?

Where's your shame?

I don't know.

I thought it was

going pretty well.

It's a f*cking disaster.

Okay.

So, uh...

what were you saying?

You want to move to Sacramento,

or you want to move in here?

Well. Only if

that's what you want.

Oh my God. Okay.

I'm just...

I'm going to stop

you right there.

I don't want you to

move in here with me.

Okay?

You heard my messages, right?

I mean, you didn't respond,

but do you remember what I said?

Mm-hmm.

I remember the gist.

Okay.

I called you to make you aware

of the decision I had made.

I wasn't asking you for help.

I don't, I don't need your help.

I-I didn't need your help then.

I really don't need

your help now, so...

I'm good.

Sure.

Not sure.

Absolutely.

I want you to listen

very carefully.

I do not need your help. Okay?

I don't need anyone's

help. I'm good.

Ray and I, we're doing great.

Like, I mean,

yes, there's times where it's

really, really miserable.

And I could just, you know,

cry thinking about it.

'Cause I don't sleep a lot,

and I don't even look

on the internet anymore.

But I'm good. I'm happy.

Don't f*cking bring your

bullshit into my life.

I'm good. Okay?

Like, I don't need you.

We're good.

I get that.

I do.

Obviously, I get that.

Do you though?

I think I do.

Okay.

And let me just say that,

when you left those messages,

I didn't know what I wanted,

but I think I do now.

Okay. What do you want?

Well, I should

have called you back,

and I'm really

sorry that I didn't.

And I regret that now.

I sort of had an

emotional breakdown.

And my dad died.

And it sort of stirred

up a lot of sh*t in me.

I'm sorry. I don't care.

I do, I'm sorry about your dad.

I am.

I don't care.

I have enough to care about.

I can't take care

of another person.

I have a full plate.

I have a literal

baby on a plate.

Ugh!

sh*t. He's not sleeping.

I'm trying to train him.

Oh, is that like a thing?

Sometimes they don't?

Are you kidding?

Yeah.

Oh, you got a couple, uh...

Like a little...

It's my nips. They're leaking.

I have to pump.

Okay.

I just want to say...

Okay.

A little bloch tap,

a little bloch tap.

Okay.

So, there comes a time

in every person's life

where they have to

turn things around.

And I feel like I've

dealt with that.

And it's in the past.

And now, I'm ready

to help.

Not that you need it.

So you really,

really want to help.

Yes.

I really want to actually help.

I don't know you.

I don't, I mean...

You don't seem that reliable.

I certainly can't

argue with that.

I clearly have a ways to go,

but it's moments like this

and this trip that

really make you think.

Wrap it up.

In summation, I don't

want to run anymore.

Or lie.

It's harmful.

Not only to the people I lie to,

but it's harmful to me.

Hmm.

I have the tools

and I am ready.

It's wild.

I'm feeling a little

emotional here.

Okay.

Ahem.

Um...

So, what do you think?

I'm sorry, about what?

Me helping?

Oh.

Yeah. Sure.

Really?

Yes. Yeah.

I wasn't listening fully,

but I heard that

you're just here

and you're sticking around

and you're saying it

over and over again.

I hear that as free childcare.

So yeah. I'm good with it.

I'm tired.

Great. Great.

I mean.

Exactly. Whatever you want.

This just makes me happy.

Okay. Slow down, slow down.

Let's set some ground rules.

You mean I

shouldn't propose just yet?

Excuse me, Tallie.

Yeah.

Where's your restroom?

It's down the

hall, to the left.

Down this hall, to the left.

To the left.

Down the hall, to the left.

What's wrong with that guy?

I am racing.

I am racing.

Need a frigging Xanax.

Need a frigging Xanax.

Tommy Umstead! How

you doing, buddy?

Hey, Glenn.

Everything okay?

You sounded really

weird on your messages.

Weird?

No, I'm just trying

to catch up, man.

That's it. Just

trying to connect.

Get back into our

groove, you know?

How are you?

Glenn. I'll be honest.

Last time we had lunch,

it was very strange.

You were really quiet.

You didn't even want

to get coffee after.

Yeah, the move is to

get the coffee to go

from the restaurant,

bro, and take it away.

It saves time.

You sure you're okay?

You sound, I don't

know, pent up.

Tommy, you're punching

at shadows, man.

Nobody's against you. Alright?

This has always

been your problem.

You're like a paranoid freak.

Why are

you yelling at me?

I'm yelling at you now?

Dude, why don't we...?

Listen.

I think like we need

to chalk this up

to a weird conversation

and come back to

it another time.

Sure, man.

I don't know what's going on.

I don't understand

what just happened.

It's going to take me a minute

to get my head around it.

Maybe next time just

don't call a guy

when you're having a weird day.

Don't call a guy

back in that moment.

You still there?

I was right about

you, by the way.

You bailed.

Yeah.

You were pretty intuitive

to spot that one.

It's cute.

I don't blame you though.

Really?

I mean, I was mad at

you for a long time.

Like, I was really,

really mad at you.

I wanted to k*ll you.

She hasn't even read these.

Hey, Ray.

How about those ground rules?

Yes.

No kissing.

This isn't about us.

It's about Ray.

Great.

And definitely no sex.

Did you just wink at me?

No.

Okay.

If you ever bail

on me and Ray again,

don't ever come back.

Okay?

Okay.

Where's Glenn?

Where's my car?

The f*ck!

- I'm really sorry about this.

- Oh my God!

He's a great guy.

He's actually about

to be a dad himself.

Where is my car?

I have a scooter. Here.

Okay. Start it!

Hold on, I have

to scan the code.

Oh my God.

Open it.

It's scanning. It's scanning.

Go!

Wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

I hate to be the one

to break it to you, Ray.

But your mom is not

a capable guardian.

And your dad.

No.

No, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no.

You can go.

Baby on board.

Go. Okay.

You go.

And then you come right through.

Go around.

Go around.

Go around. Baby on board.

as*h*le.

Oh my God! Oh my God!

If you just slow down, I

can hop on there with you.

Where the f*ck did he go?

I can hop on.

I gotta faster.

f*ck.

Which way? Which way?

Right or left?

Oh, gee.

This is the right thing, Ray.

You're in good hands now.

You know, you and

I are a lot alike.

My old man wasn't

around when I was a kid.

It really did a number on me.

See cashier?

Hang on, I can't leave

Baby Ray in the car.

What am I thinking about?

He's just a baby.

Hey, buddy!

Hey, I-I got a baby in the car.

I need 40 on four. Premium plus.

I got you.

There you go.

So, Ray, there's not

really a safe way

to get to Los Angeles.

And I'm sorry, Google Maps,

but I'm not going to take

a child on the highway.

Oh boy.

Ray!

We've been made.

Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Hi.

Hi, baby.

Hi.

Open the door

you piece of sh*t.

If you touch my baby, I

will f*cking k*ll you.

I can't do it.

f*ck up! Now!

Glenn! No!

He'll be safe with me.

What?

He'll be safe with me.

Glenn. Glenn.

- Rick.

- What are you doing?

Open up, bud. Open up the door.

I'm doing what

needs to be done.

- No, no, no.

- What?

Glenn. Glenn.

You can get in a lot

of trouble for this.

Okay?

Think of your baby.

Think of Rosie.

She's not going to

be happy about this.

Open up, bud. Open up.

Open up.

- Good boy.

- It's okay, baby.

Mommy's not mad.

Everything's okay.

Okay.

Hi, pal.

Hi, baby.

You said a couple

smart things, so it

made a lot of sense.

Yeah.

The crib squeaks.

- What?

- It's a crick.

$400 crib.

What are you talking about?

I'm saying that...

I'm hot.

I mean, I don't know

what's going on.

How do you turn off the A/C?

I'm hot.

I think you're having

a panic attack, Glenn.

You're okay. I'm here.

I know. I know.

Take deep breaths.

In through your nose,

out through your mouth.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

I'm breathing now.

In through the nose.

That baby needs protecting.

Who's going to protect him? You?

Well, mostly Tallie.

But I don't know Tallie.

I do.

Tallie's great.

Tallie is an amazing mom.

It just takes one

thing to go wrong, Rick.

Just one thing and then, boom!

Yeah.

You're right.

Life is crazy,

and there's a lot

you can't control.

Chaos.

Confusion.

It's a hellscape of

unpredictability.

But...

But what?

I don't know. I don't know.

I thought you were

heading towards saying

something reassuring.

No, I-I think

that's just a fact

that we have to deal with.

Both of us. Everyone.

But it's okay.

It's okay.

'Cause that's what

it's all about.

We're ready.

You're ready.

I'm scared.

Yeah, me too.

I'm really scared.

I know, pal.

Well it's been a long

time since I've seen you

You're looking good

Can't begin to tell you

how much I've missed you

I wish I could

But I love what

you're wearing for me

And I can do things

For a little bit

of your sympathy

Don't expect for

it to last forever

It never does

But it sure beats talking

Please tell

Rosie I say hi.

It surely does

And I like what

you're singing to me

But it's better with a

little bit of harmony

Yeah

We should try to get

our love together

Once in a while, put

ourselves together

It's looking good, let's

get our sh*t together

Sure won't hurt you now

Hi.

Hey.

Sure won't hurt you now

I need help painting the crib.

I know.

You don't have

to do it right now.

Well it's been a long

time since I've seen you

You're looking good

Can't begin to tell you

how much I've missed you

I wish I could

But I love what

you're wearing for me

And I can do things

For a little bit

of your sympathy

Yeah

Why don't we try to

get our love together

Once in a while, let's

get our sh*t together

Once in a while

Together, together

Why don't we try

Together, together

Now, Bob, I'm going to just

take a shot in the dark here.

If I may be so bold.

I don't think this is

about the endless salads

and breadsticks at Olive Garden.

I think that this is

about the endless salads,

i.e. emotional nourishment,

and breadsticks, i.e.

physical affection,

that you were unable to

provide at your Olive Garden,

i.e. to your sons,

Connor and Jasper.

Am I close?

No.

You nailed it.

Give him a hand, guys.

Here you go, Bob.

Thank you.

That was brave as f*ck, Bob.

Yeah.

Now, Steve, you were

talking about a work

that you had not too long ago.

And your father

who's a dentist...

How's school?

Good. Real good.

Just a few more credits,

and I'll be able to

charge for these things.

Good.

How's the gig?

It's great.

My boss poops his diapers,

and that's just

the way we like it.

Fantastic.

Hey dads.

- Hey.

- Hey.

How was it today?

Lot of tears.

The usual amount.

Good amount.

Yeah.

Hey Geoff.

Oh!

Hi, Baby Jeffy.

That Geoff.

Daddy's here.

Hi, Bubba.

Daddy time!

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hi, Jeffy.

I love you, my son.

Can you say, Uncle Rickey?

How are you, my love?

Can you say,

"Hi, Uncle Rickey?"

- Can you open the trunk?

How are you, Rosie?

Loving life.

By the way,

tears are a sign of strength.

Not weakness.

Oh.

Thank you.

Right, man.

Hey, actually that's a

pretty good one for the poster.

We can mock that up.

See if you like it.

Let's redo the poster.

No, only

if you have time.

Drive safe.

Going to be getting

in pretty late.

Six hours.

We're a lot closer

than you think.

Mm.

Did you get that?

I did.

We're a lot closer

than you think.

Mm.

Yeah.

You and I, I mean.

I got it.

It's a double meaning.

It happens a lot.

Huh.

I think I'm going to get in

the vehicle with my family.

- Drive safe.

- Great seeing you.

You too.

Alright. Bye, Rosie.

Bye, Rickey.

Great seeing you.

The tools are there for us.

Use them.

Every day.

Bye, Jeffy.

Oh.

Are you sure you don't want

to sit back there with him?

Just in case he cries.

No. He'll be fine.

He'll be fine.

I'm just going to touch

him on the shoulder.

Okay.

And he knows I'm here.

Okay.

If you'll give him one

Just one more chance

That's all he needs

Is one more chance

Why can't you see

that my love is true

Can't you see that I'm

still in love with you

I don't care

what's in the past

It's all over

It's all done

I don't care what people say

I know that you're

the one I love

Won't you give him one

Just one more chance

That's all he needs

Is one more chance

If you let me try

I'll make you see

Oh, yes

The only man you'll

ever need in life is me

Won't you give him one

Just one more chance

That's all he needs

Is one more chance

If you let me try

I'll make you see

Oh, yes

The only one you'll

ever need in life is me

All I need is one, if

you'll give him one

Just one more chance

That's all he needs

Is one more chance

That's all I need

Won't you give him one

Just one more chance

That's all he needs

Is one more chance

Won't you give him one

Just one more chance

That's all he needs

Is one more chance

Isn't there a saying

That you reel in

what you cast off

But I can't

Tell the difference

Between the real thing

And the sheepdog

I wish I could blame it

All on some stupid line

I should not have bought

Every now and again

I scaled

The big fence

By myself

For something new

The sky turned

Blue to hot pink

I did not think

About you

I thought about loyalty

It means make money

And f*ck the rest

Every now and again

I get a heavy

feeling in my chest

I hope that you loved me

Before I was at my best

Sonny

I want to be alone

More than I want to

be alone with you

With love that's

already gone

Neither of us will

find the silver hair

But every now and again

I get a heavy

feeling in my chest

I hope that you loved me

Before I was at my best

Sonny

Tell me you loved me

Before I was at my best
