01x04 - Disassemble

[bunniefuu]

[Marcel] Previously
on Motorheads...

Street takeover.

[Caitlyn] There's Harris Bowers.

[Marcel] I was k*lling it,

and Zac leaned forward.

[Sam] We called
your dad. No answer.

Yeah. He's probably
down for the count.

I think that... we, um...

Are better as friends.

I'm just glad we're
on the same page.

You're not ready to race anyone.

I'm closer than you think.

[music ends]

[chuckles]

How long will it take to
get this thing on the road?

Does it matter? This
is the fun part.

["I Remember Everything"
playing on radio]

Nothing like the smell of motor
oil to get the day started.

[chuckles] I thought that was
your coffee we were smelling.

It is.

And thanks for volunteering
to pour me another one.

[chuckles] Walked
right into that.

Why are you spending so much
time helping me on Dad's car?

[clears throat] Business
has been slow lately,

so I got a little
extra time on my hands.

Here's your coffee,
just like you like it.

[Logan] In a cup.

Morning. Ow.

What's up with the limp? You
hurt your arm, not your leg.

It was a traumatic injury. My leg
is suffering from sympathy pains.

That doesn't make sense.

- Smells like burnt motor oil in here.
- [Curtis] Oh. That's Logan's coffee.

- Doubling down on a bad joke, huh?
- [chuckles]

So, how's it going?

Um, I need to
replace the brakes,

uh, find a water
pump and a fuel pump

and I need to switch out the
radiator, manifolds and converter.

And that's just
the engine stuff.

- Sorry I asked. [chuckles]
- [Caitlyn] Hmm.

Someday you'll realize
this is the fun part.

Yeah, but it's gonna take,
like, forever. [sighs]

Yeah, but what's the rush?

It's not like you're
planning on racing it.

Guys... is someone planning
on racing this car?

[chuckles] You think any of these three
can get behind the wheel of this thing?

[chuckles]

[chuckles] You had me
nervous for a second.

[chuckling]

Do not worry. Uh, we
should get to school.

Yeah, uh, can we stop
for smoothies on the way?

I-I read they're really good

- for trauma recovery.
- Dude.

Why you asking me?

Well, you're the one
who gave Zac the idea

to go to Willy's
unreasonably dangerous track.

Ergo, my traumatic injury.

[sighing] Fine,
I'll drop yinz off.

Today.

But no smoothies.

That's where I draw the line.

Be ready in five.

[hydraulics whirs]

[engine revving]

[Noah] Yo, have you seen this?

Bro, you made it
to the next level.

One of the guys from the
street crew posted a video

of you shredding at
the takeover. Check it.

{\an8}[Mateo] Hey, look at dude
whippin' that Porsche, huh?

{\an8}[Noah] This is crazy. My
boy's got skills, man.

{\an8}Now, see now, that's the problem.
There's too many posers out here.

{\an8}Just think that they can buy
their way into the culture.

{\an8}[chuckles] Well, we always
know the real from the fake.

- Hell's this?
- [clicks tongue]

[stammers] Uh, this
part kinda sucks,

but they're acknowledging
your skills, bro.

They're not giving
me props, dude.

They're clowning me.

Hey. All press is good
press, am I right?

It's not funny.

Nor is it cute.

But whoever drew butt cheeks...

- [students chuckling]
- ...on the whiteboard in permanent marker

will be caught and punished.

Yeah, permanent. See?

Butt cheeks forever. Yay.

- [chuckling]
- Okay. Which brings me...

- You did that.
- ...to some exciting news,

as you see before you,

Bandit Technology has generously donated
free laptops to our entire school.

We'll be using them in class to learn
how to run diagnostics on motor vehicles.

Okay, the app should be downloaded
onto your computer already.

- So, yay, Bandit.
- Uh, how does this work?

Uh, yeah. There's probably
a... [inhales deeply]

...a manual online or something,
I don't know. [clears throat]

Great, helpful tip. Thank you.

Hey, do you wanna do
something after school?

Yeah, I wanna
replace the brakes.

Yeah, no, or I was thinking
like... like outside the shop.

- We could go on a ride on my bike.
- Yeah, we could, uh, hit the junkyard.

I need to find a water pump.

Yeah, yeah, or we could go hang
out at my spot up on the hill.

[chuckling] And... do what?

- Never mind.
- Curtis.

[Curtis] No, it's, uh...
[sighs] ...it's fine.

- We'll... We'll replace the brakes.
- [sighs]

[chattering]

You done eyeballing
me and my girl?

Nobody's eyeballing you.

- [bangs]
- [sighs] Get out of my face.

I actually owe you
an apology, Zac.

I really do because
somehow I made you think

you were a threat to me and had a
shot at my girl, but the truth is,

you're a nonfactor.

And the only reason anyone
even knows who you are

is because you're the
son of Christian Maddox.

Maybe.

But the only reason anyone
even cares about you

is because your
last name is Bowers.

Otherwise, you're just a regular
as*h*le just like everyone else.

Hmm? Oh, uh, ouch.

Not even worth my time.

[school bell rings]

Okay. Class, eyes up. Knee down.

Uh, we have a newbie
joining us today.

Most of you already know Marcel,
so please let's do our part

in making sure he feels
welcomed and gets up to speed.

- Thank you, Mrs. Oleato.
- [students snickering]

As you said, my name is Marcel

and it's an honor to join this class
and embark on a journey to design.

- I'm hoping to learn...
- [Mrs. Oleato] Uh, Mr. Crawford,

that was not a cue for
you to give a speech.

- Uh...
- [Mrs. Oleato] Please sit down.

- [students laughing]
- [softly] Yeah. I'm sorry.

Dude, what was that?

Well, I just got swept up
in the spirit of the moment.

I'm literally still cringing.

Sorry.

[scoffs]

Anything I should know about
this class to get caught up?

Yeah. No more impromptu
speeches. You're all caught up.

[Mrs. Oleato] You two finish?

Yes, Mrs. Oleato.

Mm-hmm.

Wrong direction, bro.
Class is back that way.

I'm getting outta here.

Where to?

Anywhere but Ironwood.

I... I need to get
back to civilization.

Cool. Yeah, I'm in.

Who said I wanted company?

Yeah? Let's see how
far you get on foot.

[sighs]

So, where we going?

- Pittsburgh? It's only like 40 minutes.
- [sighs]

Great. The Staten
Island of Pennsylvania.

It's not Manhattan, but
I know some cool spots.

We're taking this?

Like I said, you have options.

It's about a half day's walk.

[Zac sighs]

Yeah.

So, what am I
supposed to hold onto?

Me. Just don't make it weird.

Bruh, I am not holding on to
you like the chick from Top g*n.

Just made it weird.

Remember that guy?

[whistle blows]

Darren. Hi.

[chuckles]

I was just passing by.

Can't believe this
place is still open.

Yeah.

Hmm.

I should probably get going.

[Darren chuckles] Sam.

[whistle blows]

It's been forever.

It sure has.

- Yeah.
- A lot of good memories in this place.

Yeah.

[chuckles]

- Hey.
- Hi.

- What are you up to?
- I'm, uh, just looking for someone.

Well, you can stop looking
'cause I'm someone.

- [chuckles]
- Do you wanna sit together for lunch?

Um, yeah, sure.

Yo, babe. We're gonna get
burgers with Harris and Alicia.

- I just made lunch plans.
- With who?

She's standing right here.
Wearing a blue shirt.

- Pale turquoise.
- A pale turquoise shirt.

- [Caitlyn] Mm-hmm.
- They're waiting.

You should come.

Okay. Yeah.

Dude, Mr. Hicks was
on a tear today.

Um, hey.

[Brooke] Mmm.

Are... Are you at
the right table?

- Am I not cool enough to be here?
- Uh, no, y-yes,

I'm-I'm just saying 'cause
we never hang out at lunch.

Uh, these seats are taken?

[Marcel] M-My crew would
normally be in them.

But I guess we're doing
our own thing today.

Ah, so it's you and me then.

Cool, cool, cool.

[Brooke chuckles]

- [stammers] Do you need help with that?
- No, I-I-I got it.

[Brooke] Okay. [chuckles]

So how'd you like your
first day in design class?

I mean, aside from
the cringey speech?

Cool. It's cool, it's cool.

You know you keep saying
"cool, cool, cool," right?

Yeah, I-I just heard myself.

- So what made you transfer to the class?
- Thought it'd be cool.

Dude, you gotta
stop saying cool.

- [chuckles] I-I-I wanna design cars.
- Oh.

I made a signature
logo design for my car.

The one Zac destroyed?

He's paying to get it fixed.

So, hey, um, I knew
you and Zac were tight,

but I didn't know that
you knew Curtis Young too.

They're both part of my crew.

Mmm. I mean, I've heard some
pretty crazy things about Curtis.

Like, he knocked out his
kindergarten teacher?

I don't think that's physically
possible. He was five.

What about when he... he strangled
a pit bull with his bare hands.

No. He's an animal lover and,
ironically, super allergic to pet dander.

Mmm. Didn't he rob the diner
last year when your dad owned it?

Those are stupid rumors.

- He's a good dude.
- Mmm.

Does he have a girlfriend?

- Um, I'm actually not sure.
- Cool.

You know, this is
where I got my start.

Your start?

I was better than these kids.

I don't think you're
supposed to say that.

- I was solid.
- Okay, okay.

- Your name is in the trophy case.
- Right.

And on the building, which I think is a
zoning requirement in Ironwood by now.

Oof. That was a little judgy.

Not at all.

No, no, no, I had like
six birthday parties here.

Also, we had our
first date here.

You didn't realize
we were on a date.

I didn't.

- Well, now you know.
- [chuckling]

Seriously, I was
better than these kids.

Like, that kid keeps falling.

- [engine cranking]
- [Curtis groaning]

Dude, just give it a break, okay? You've
been at it for the last 30 minutes.

The horses are not gonna
come back from the dead.

[sighs]

Probably shouldn't
have pushed it so hard.

- It was your idea.
- [exclaims] Relax, okay?

Nobody's pointing fingers.

[sighs] So, what do we do?

We're too far, so
we can't walk home.

We're not close enough to
Pittsburgh to walk there.

And we can't call our parents
'cause we're skipping school, so...

We're probably
gonna regret this.

[hooves clopping, approaching]

- Ha ha.
- [Zac] Nice.

[sighs] Can today get any worse?

- Ain't about to get any better.
- [line ringing]

Hey, it's me.

I need a favor.

[rock and roll playing on radio]

You ladies need a ride?

Where's Ray?

[Mikey] It's a surprise.
You'll see in a minute.

No, we just need a ride
home, Mikey. That's it.

Look, this ain't no Uber. You're
going where I was told to take you.

Now, load up that piece
of junk and let's go.

[Sam] That one's
yours too, isn't it?

[Darren] That was actually the first
building built by the Bowers family

back in 1868.

You know, as much as the town has
changed, this street, it's frozen in time.

Yeah. Except for the vegan pet food
store where Peterson's Bakery used to be.

[exclaims] Thanks for that.

Ironwood hasn't
changed that much.

Easy for you to say. Your
family name's still all over it.

- [chuckles]
- Bandit bulldozed my old neighborhood.

Well, they didn't
bulldoze it themselves.

I'm not saying that Bandit employees
showed up with wrecking ba*ls,

but they're the ones buying up
the old town and changing things.

What you see as change,
others may see as progress.

You sound like Kelly.

Oh, you mean Mayor Gibbons.

How'd that "former best
friend" reunion go?

[clicks tongue] Not
as good as this one.

Ah. So this is going well.

I want a Camaro now.

- Do you know that guy?

[chattering]

That's my brother. Ray.

[Harris stammers]
Look at this one.

"Daddy should've bought him lessons
on how to drift. Dude is an amateur."

I'm being cyberbullied
and it's not even funny.

- Why are you reading the comments?
- You know?

You're just torturing yourself.

[engine revs]

- Look who's here.
- [car door closes]

Can you just let it go, please?

All right. It's gone.

So this is like, uh,
Ironwood's lunchtime hot spot?

Well, it's no Ruth's Chris.

Who are they?

Never mind, babe.

- Are we leaving?
- [Noah] Uh, yeah,

I just wanna check
something real quick.

My car's been making
this weird sound

ever since I raced blue shirt's
brother the other night.

Pale turquoise.

And her name is Caitlyn.

And I hear the noise
that it's making.

You wanna pop the hood?

I'm not showing
you under my hood.

Great. Cool, just risk your
engine blowing up. What do I care?

Just pop the hood, Noah.

Pop it.

All right.

[Caitlyn] Huh. Nice.

- Damn right it's nice.
- [Alicia] Oh, my God.

Learn how to take a compliment.

- [chuckles]
- I was agreeing with her.

These are some solid mods.

- You... You did these upgrades yourself?
- Yeah.

[Caitlyn] Turbochargers
can be tricky to install,

but, uh, you got them
in there correctly.

There's other things you have to consider,
though, when you're adding more boost.

Like, uh, like what?

Well, I mean, from what I can tell,
your cylinder heads are stock form

and you should've modified those
when you installed the new turbo

because they don't
provide that much airflow,

which restricts the amount
of power you're getting.

- Nice.
- Did you get all that?

Hey, you know, Caitlyn,
you should, um,

you should come check out
my dad's car collection.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

I don't think that that's what
is making the noise though.

I think that your bearings went
bad in one of your pulleys.

- How bad?
- I... I don't know. It's hard to say.

If you swing by my uncle's shop,
we could take a look at it.

Can I come watch?

[scoffs] Logan's shop? Well,
you gotta be kidding me.

No offense, but nobody goes to
that outdated garage anymore.

Good mechanic doesn't need all the
bells and whistles to fix your car.

I mean, even I was able to
tell what the problem was.

[chuckles] I mean, who knew
your type was good at cars too?

Honestly, I thought y'all
were just into softball

- and the WNBA.
- Noah.

Well, I guess your type isn't
really good at anything. So...

["Pyramid of the Moon" playing]

[engine rumbles]

[engine revving]

- [buzzer sounds]
- [engines revving]

Are all these dudes local?

Uh, they come from all over. But
everyone here is serious about the craft.

Never gave up on their
dreams of making it.

[engines revving]

[cheering]

Okay, so what's your
angle in all this?

Jesus, Curt, there's
no angle. All right?

I'm out here chasing the
dream like the rest of 'em.

[chuckles] Right. Since
when do you have a dream?

[softly] All right.

Hey, let me introduce you
to some of the guys. Yeah?

[crowd cheering]

Whew.

Here comes the mayor.

Yo, this is my
little brother, Curt.

[chuckles] And this is Zac, who I think
we might be seeing out on the strip soon.

This is, uh, Dirt Dog. He's a
garbage truck driver from Akron.

- That's...
- [clears throat] Uh, waste collector.

- Waste collector. [chuckles]
- [chuckles]

That's Sparky, he's an
electrician from Harrisburg.

- And Doc, he's a...
- Wait, wait, wait, let me guess. Doctor.

Forklift operator.

- Damn it.
- Yeah, he works the docks in Philly.

- Wait, so why do they call you the mayor?
- Uh, it's...

'Cause he's the one who
put all this together.

Ray did all this?

[Ray] I was doing my part
to help out the underdogs.

[engines revving]

[buzzer sounds]

- [engines revving]
- [tires squealing]

[cheering]

Could be you.

Heard about your
race the other day.

Yeah. [sighs] I lost.

Nah.

That was the car, not you.

You really think I
could be good at this?

I could help you get there.

{\an8}[chattering]

[engine revs]

[engine revs]

Harris?

Wha... What are...
What are you doing?

Move.

What are you gonna do?

Alicia, get out of the way.

[tires squealing]

[hip-hop playing on radio]

What, Daddy's Boy
wants some action?

[engine revs]

[engines revving]

[revving continues]

Come on.

Yo, yo, Mateo, the bridge.

- This guy's not gonna back down.
- Shut up, Danny. I got it.

Come on. Let's go, let's go!

[Danny] The bridge,
it's one lane!

- Got it. I got it!
- [Danny] Damn it. Take it back down!

[tires screech]

[breathing heavily]

[sighs]

[sighs, groans]

Oh, I almost sh*t my pants.

[groans] I'm not...

I'm not positive that I didn't.

Why did you stop?

'Cause I didn't wanna die.

I mean, did you... He
would've k*lled us all.

Did you see his eyes?

[scoffs] Dude's a psycho.

Yeah, or maybe you're just weak.

God, it's so weird
to be back here.

It's kind of like
history repeating itself.

I wouldn't go that far.

Okay, all right. Well,
hear me out, here.

Um, back in high school, you
were with Christian Maddox.

King of the hill.

Fast forward nearly 20 years,
Alicia Whitaker is dating my son,

who... [clicks tongue] ...thinks
he's the king of the hill.

Suddenly, your son moves
to town, the underdog.

You're calling my
son an underdog?

Oh, no, no, no. It's
not an insult. No.

See, I was the underdog.

You were taken and I liked you.

And you know what? I'm
pretty sure you liked me too.

You just pretended you didn't.

That Bowers ego is
shining through.

[chuckles] Nah. I
was the good Bowers.

I know. That's why I liked you.

Oh, see? She finally admits it.

Okay, so in this history repeating
itself scenario, my son is you?

In a way, I guess. Weird.

So you're rooting for Zac.

I sympathize with him.

It's not easy knocking
off the king of the hill.

My case, it was impossible.

Are you gonna tell me why you
challenged Christian to a race?

[Darren sighs]

I didn't think he was
good enough for you.

I knew it wouldn't end well.

So I bet him if I beat him in
a race, he had to let you go.

[chuckles] Not so you could
be with me or anything.

Just so you could be with
someone better than the both us.

I almost had him.

But... [sighs] ...I'm pretty sure everybody
who raced him said those four words.

He let everyone think
that they had a chance.

Yeah.

But I never really had a chance.

[phone buzzes]

{\an8}[Sam] You need to get that?

No. Not important.

- Rack 'em. [chuckles]
- [chuckles]

Bandit gave our shop
class new laptops today.

Oh, great. [sighs]

Now y'all can really perfect
your TikToks and Instas.

I mean, first of all, that's
what phones are for, boomer.

And second of all, we were using
it to run diagnostics on cars.

It was pretty cool. It could be a fun
little upgrade for your outdated shop.

Who says my shop's outdated?

My eyes. What is that?

Hey, be nice.

I told you things are
tight around here.

I can't really afford
any fancy upgrades.

I mean, maybe if you do the upgrades,
you could bring in more business.

You have to spend
money to make money.

[clicks tongue] Thanks for
the advice, Gordon Gekko.

- Who's that?
- But you gotta have money to spend money.

What about restoring old cars?

- That's what we're doing.
- No, no, no, not... not this one.

I mean, like, as a service.

I mean, how many people in this town
were, like, passed down an old car

that's just sitting in
their front lawn right now?

- Pretty much everyone.
- Instant gold mine.

You could refurbish them,
make 'em look good as new.

You said that was
the fun part, right?

Not your worst idea.

- Thank you?
- Oh, and, uh, I ain't a boomer.

- Yeah.
- Gen X.

Whatever you say, boomer.

- [Ray sighs]
- What are we doing here, Ray?

Relax. Zac's a big boy.

He'll be all right.

Hey, man. Um, I just wanted
to say thanks for today.

I literally just wanted
to get out of Ironwood

and you showed me a whole
different world, so...

I-It was fun hanging
out. You and me.

Yeah.

[chuckles]

I'm gonna grab Ray.

Uh... Uh, all right,
yeah. Yeah, I'll join.

No, you should... you
should stay in the car.

Why? [chuckles]

Isn't this just like a old
tire factory? What's going on?

[sighs] There's two
different sides to Ray.

Okay, there's the one from
today, who everyone loves.

And then there's the
one in there right now.

All right, you don't
wanna know this Ray.

I know how cool he seemed out on the
track today, all the mayor stuff.

And I also know how good
he is at laying it on.

But you already got
somebody who can teach you

everything you need
to know about racing.

It's Logan.

He taught your dad,
who was the best ever.

[Zac sighs]

Yo.

Clocked my best time today.

Well, we should've been
done this hours ago.

Yeah, well, maybe if you spent less
time complaining and more time working,

it would've been.

Or if you hadn't sent Mikey
away to be roadside assistance.

What'd you say?

Look, it's bad enough
you leave Mikey and I

to shoulder the load while you go
off and play race car driver all day.

Then you leave me
shorthanded here to take...

- [grunts]
- [tools clattering]

[Ray sighs] Try it.

[sighs]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Don't ever speak on me or anything
I choose to do with my time.

- [breathing shakily]
- Understood me?

- Yeah.
- Good boy.

Shut your mouth and
get back to work, Vic.

No problem, Ray.

[Marcel] So we'll be doing motion
graphics, interactive design.

Aw, I should create
a team logo for us.

That sounds cool.

Could you, uh, pass
me that impact wrench?

Uh... [blows raspberry]
...I would, but, you know.

I have my injury and all.

Yeah.

[Marcel] Well, well, well.

If it isn't the rest of the
Abandon-Marcel-for-Lunch crew.

I had to carry my own tray,
and you know I'm injured.

Well, Cait was there.

Nope.

You left for lunch?

Yeah, unfortunately.

Went to some burger joint.

With Alicia, Noah and
the rest of Team Bowers,

who I will not be
creating a team logo for.

Hey, uh, where's Uncle Logan?

- Kitchen.
- Thanks.

Well, I'm gonna
head home. [sighs]

Need to rest my arm in case I
get abandoned again tomorrow.

- [chuckles] Bye.
- [Curtis] Bye.

[Caitlyn] So, you and
Zac skipping together.

- [sighs]
- Hmm.

Was weird not having
you around today.

I missed you.

Wanna get to work
on those brakes?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

[birds chirping]

You're hard to find.

[Alicia sighs]

Not sure how much more of
this back-and-forth I can do.

You just left me there.

All because your
ego was bruised.

Do you know how embarrassed
and small that made me feel?

I don't matter to you.

I could've died today,
but I didn't care.

I think a part of me

wanted to crash into the side of that
bridge just so I could feel something.

Why didn't you?

'Cause I won. [scoffs]

So what happens when you lose?

The only thing that
I know for sure

is that I wouldn't have taken that
risk if you were in the car with me.

So you're wrong.

You're dead wrong.

You matter to me.

Even if I don't
matter to myself.

[sighs]

[Zac] Uncle Logan?

- Hey, buddy.
- [door closes]

Um... [sighs]

You ever have one of those moments
where everything suddenly makes sense

and you feel like you're right
where you're supposed to be?

What's her name?

Oh, no. There is no her.

Well, okay, there is.
But this isn't about her.

This is...

This is about getting
behind the wheel.

I wanna learn how to race.

A-And I need... And I need
you to teach me. [chuckles]

[no audible dialogue]

I can't. [sighs]

Well, you know, look, I'm...
I'm pretty good already.

- And I feel like with the right coaching...
- I said no, Zac. It's not gonna happen.

But you're willing to teach Cait
everything that she wants to know.

You never say no to her.

Caitlyn is not putting
herself at risk.

- All she's doing is rebuilding a car.
- But you taught my dad how to race.

I wish I hadn't.

[breathes shakily] Everyone
said my dad had a gift.

What if I have it too? Like...

[sighs] Doesn't
matter if you do.

I've seen this movie, Zac.

It doesn't have a good ending.

So I'm sorry. I'm not gonna
teach you how to race.

Please.

[Zac sighs]

- This was an unexpected day.
- Yep, yep.

I was kinda wondering
if this is gonna happen.

I saw you at the, uh, festival,
but somebody looked away, so...

I didn't come talk to you.

I didn't know what to
expect. But now I do.

Yeah.

You ever want a rematch
in pool, I'm around.

- [chuckles]
- Otherwise,

I think we'll see each other
at the principal's office

- when our sons get in a fight at school.
- Oh, I hope not.

[sighs] But you're
probably right.

[Darren clicks tongue]

It was good seeing
you again, Darren.

Yeah.

Welcome home, Sam.

[door opens]

- [sighs]
- [door closes]

[line ringing]

[sighs]

Yeah, Darren Bowers returning
Bruce Whitaker's call.

[Marcel grunts]

[Logan] Hey.

Your dad couldn't
help you with that?

M-My dad doesn't do trash.

- [sighs] Yeah, I got it.
- Thanks.

So, uh... [sighs] ...is everything
all good here at home with you two?

No different than
it's always been.

Yeah, I was just wondering 'cause
nobody could get a hold of him

- when you were in the hospital...
- He missed those calls

because he was asleep after
spending all day looking for work.

I was just worried, is all.

[Marcel] Well, don't.

I-I know what people say about
my dad and it ain't like that.

He may not be perfect,
but he's all I got.

All right. Well, I'll see you tomorrow
morning for that ride to school.

I-I thought you said
that was just today.

I can take you until your car
is ready. Couple more weeks.

Hey, uh, let's make sure
we leave early enough

to get one of those smoothies
you were yapping about.

Gotta make sure you get recovered
from that traumatic injury.

[Marcel chuckles]

[car door opens]

[Curtis sighs]

[Curtis sighs]

Think I messed up.

No, that looks
pretty good to me.

No, no, not with the...
not with the brakes.

With us.

I just went along with it when you
said you wanted to be just friends.

I like you. I like you...
I like you more than that.

Don't act surprised, I
know you... [chuckles]

I know you're not surprised.

I like you more than that too.

But things are just...

They're complicated

right now.

Seems pretty simple.

We both like each other.

I know it's messy. I'm...

I just need a little bit of time...
[sighs] ...to figure it out.

Yeah.

Yeah. Well, at least you're
being straight up with me.

And I always will.

I mean, honestly, with
the way my day went,

I should've just
skipped with you guys.

Why? What happened?

Just that Noah guy being
his usual douchey self.

But, uh, he...

[smacks lips] ...he
made it personal.

And, uh...

he just said something stupid to
try and embarrass me, I guess.

What'd he say?

Just forget it, it doesn't
matter. Forget I said anything.

What'd he say?

Yo, these turbos by
themselves are kick-a*s.

But it dawned on me, see,
if I want a real boost,

then I gotta switch out
these cylinder heads.

See, the stock ones, they
don't provide enough airflow

and that restricts the amount
of power I'm getting, you know?

[friend] Yeah.

[chuckles] Ay, yo, your parole
officer know you're out this late?

I heard what you
said to Caitlyn.

You mad because I said
it or because it's true?

- You piece...
- [clamoring]

Whoa! What the hell, bro?

If you ever say anything about her
again, you even breathe in her direction,

I will end you.

- You understand?
- Relax, bro.

- I was just kidding around. I get it.
- Do you understand?

Whatever, man. She's off-limits.

Now, where the hell were
you guys when he snuck me?

Nobody recorded that, right?

[knocks on door]

[sighs]

Can I help you?

[sighs] Uh...

You said that I could
be good at racing.

And that you could
help me get there.

If you meant it,
I want your help.

It's time to get you a car.
