[CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
CONTINUE]
BERT:
When I was 22,
I got involved
with the Russian mafia.
Here's how it happened.
[CROWD CHEERING]
I went to school
at Florida State.
I was not a very good student.
[CROWD EXCLAIMS]
This is how bad I was.
I signed up for
a Russian class one time
thinking it was Spanish.
And it took me three classes
before I realized,
"I don't think
this is Spanish."
[LAUGHTER]
So, I took Russian One,
Two, Three and Four,
never learned a fucking word.
[LAUGHTER]
The end of Russian Four,
same teacher pulls me aside.
She's like, "Yo, we're taking
a trip to Russia.
If you go, you'll get a minor."
I was like, "Strasvutsia,
bitches, I'm back!"
[LAUGHTER]
We went to Russia.
The Russian mob ran everything.
And they told us that
our first night.
I'm in the back
of the class like,
"This trip just got
fucking awesome."
[LAUGHTER]
Then, like, in exchange
for our money,
they gave us
two young gangsters.
The word for that in Russian
is "banditti."
[OVER TV]:
So, I ended up
befriending the banditti.
[LAUGHTER OVER TV]
Then, one night,
the whole class is taking
an overnight train trip
to Moscow.
We rolled to the bar car
like a big dick
in a locker room.
Just-- not that I've ever been
that guy, but I've seen it.
[LAUGHTER]
So, the banditti says to me,
"Don't worry. When it gets
dark, we have good time."
[SQUEALS]:
I'm like, "What are
we doing when it gets dark?"
[LAUGHTER]
Reaches into his pocket,
pulls a ring of keys out.
He goes, "We're robbing
the whole fucking train."
[LAUGHTER]
Now...
I'm a good per--
I'm an okay person.
[LAUGHTER]
My point is,
we fucking robbed them.
[]
We robbed the whole train,
and then we drank hard as shit.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Pulled in to Moscow
at 6:00 a.m.
hammered, piss drunk.
Train stops.
[IN RUSSIAN]
My whole class,
they're in their pajamas.
They're upset.
They've been robbed. I get it.
[SPEAKS IN RUSSIAN]
I'm the Machine!
They look at me and look at
each other and they're like,
"Fuck it! He's the Machine!"
[]
["TORN" BY SCOTT STAPP PLAYING]
I thought I saw a man
brought to life
He was warm, he came around
Like he was dignified
He showed me
what it was to cry
Well, you couldn't be
that one I adored
You don't seem to know
Seem to care
what your heart is for
But I don't know you
anymore
There's nothing
where he used to lie
Our conversation
has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
I'm already torn
I'm already torn
I'm already torn.
[SONG FADES]
THERAPIST:
Okay.
So, Bert, how we doing today?
I feel fantastic.
I'm eating clean.
I'm working out.
Blood pressure's down.
No more partying.
I haven't called anyone
in this room the C-word
in almost three months, huh?
He's never called Tat
a C-word.
Oh, she's never
acted like a C-word.
[LAUGHS]
Thanks, Dad.
So Mom and I act like C-words?
[BERT LAUGHS]
You'd be shocked.
Wait. Just leave it there.
Mom! Mom?
[LAUGHING]
Okay. Okay.
Mom. Mom.
I'm still waiting.
All right!
That's not fair.
Bert,
why are we here?
Well, I wanted you guys to see
the progress that I've made.
[SASHA SCOFFS]
T-To see how far I've come.
But personal growth
isn't something
that you need to point out.
Progress is something
that your family
should be noticing
on their own.
Bro, that's why they're here,
to notice it.
Hey, if you're not on my team,
shut the fuck up, okay?
[TATIANA GIGGLES]
LEEANN: Okay, no.
Has Bert ever talked about
his father?
No.
This has absolutely nothing
to do with my father.
Huh.
I had an incident
with my daughter.
[CHUCKLES]:
An incident.
That was caused by my lifestyle
and my behavior.
And I am taking actions
to course-correct.
LEEANN:
And you should know
that he sounds just like his
father when he talks like that.
BERT: Hold on.
Yes.
My father
doesn't understand me.
Same.
Not same. Not same.
My father's
always correcting me.
Same, same.
Not same, same!
Your relationship with me
is totally different
than my relationship with Papa.
Okay, girls, please,
can you wait outside?
Perfect. Come on, Tat.
Deuces.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[BERT CHUCKLES]
So, you can see
what's going on here?
BERT:
Yeah. You just saw that, right?
Yes.
[STAMMERS]
Um...
Wait. You're talking about me?
Oh, yes.
Oh, fuck off.
Fuck off? Fuck you! Fuck off!
Oh, I didn't say it like,
"Fuck off!" I said, "Fuck off."
You do not tell me
"fuck off."
It's my therapy. I can say
whatever I want, right?
Actually, you can't.
No, like, you signed an oath!
Hey! I am going to allow
the two of you
to talk about his issues
with his father.
Deuces, Bert.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
You know the C-word's
"cunt," right?
BERT [PANTING]:
Okay. Here we go.
Okay. One last push.
[LEEANN SIGHS]
You can get it all in.
[LEEANN GROANS]
Get it all in. We got it.
[GROANS]
It's gonna-- getting it in!
15 minutes! 15...
Hey, babe! Look who's up!
[SIGHS]
Babe, 96 workouts in a row,
and I still feel like
I'm sweating out toxins.
It still smells
like your skin is pissing.
[SIGHS] Two more.
One more. Nice.
[LAUGHS]:
Oh.
Hey.
[LOUD CLATTERING]
Do you think people are
gonna think I'm on HGH?
Feel that.
Uh...
Feel my tit.
No, like full-handed.
Full-handed. Grab it.
There you go. Nice.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm making smoothies.
Who wants smoothies?!
[WHIRRING]
SASHA:
Mom, can you please tell him
not to do anything embarrassing
at my party today?
Whoa.
So that's how we're gonna
start our morning?
I haven't done anything
publicly embarrassing
in almost three months.
Okay.
But don't go overboard
this time.
I just want it to be
with my friends.
[SCOFFS]
What friends?
[STAMMERS]
So not cool.
Don't.
Are those n-nut sacks?
No.
It's a pimple
for Dr. Pimple Popper.
Oh, you don't think
that's a little gross?
Uh, it's totally gross.
That's why Sasha and I love it.
If you think about it,
it's kind of like
a metaphor for her
exploding into womanhood.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
What is wrong with this shirt?
Supposed to be like this?
Hey, babe.
If I stand like this,
does it look tucked in?
Don't wear that shirt.
All right.
What are these,
my dad's shirts?
[SIGHS]
Can you please help me
pick out a shirt?
Okay.
I think that this therapy
is making everything worse.
I think you need
to get back onstage.
[CHUCKLES]
That's definitely
not happening.
Why?
Sit down.
Have you ever seen
"The Nutty Professor"?
Uh, no, I have not.
Okay.
Eddie Murphy turns into
this one guy,
which is great at first.
But then his family
starts hating him
and he starts hating himself.
Uh...
[SIGHS]
Look.
I'm the Machine onstage.
I'm also the Machine offstage.
I got high and I got drunk,
and I almost got
our daughter arrested.
I saw the look in her face.
I was helpless
and I couldn't do anything,
and I wanted to kill myself.
I will never let that happen
to our family again.
Well, fuck, now I want to watch
"The Nutty Professor."
It's a pretty good movie.
I wish you had watched it.
It's exactly what
I'm going through right now.
Maybe for now, for today,
we keep it simple.
I can do simple.
Yeah?
[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
[LIVELY CHATTER]
BERT:
There she is.
There's my birthday girl.
Hey, Sash, what do you think
of the party?
It's kind of big.
Kind of big and awesome, right?
Hey, Bert, does the DJ
have any glitchcore?
Hey, Madison...
I'll go check.
Hey. Hey.
What's up?
I thought you said
you invited like ten people.
Oh, no. I invited a ton.
[GROANS]
Well, you can't risk
no-shows, babe.
And partying with six people
is fucking depressing.
I even invited parents
that hate me.
What's up, Madison's mom?
Oh.
[CHUCKLES]
That guy is a bitch.
He is such a...
She's going through a divorce.
Be nice.
Seriously?
Mm-hmm.
Hey, hey. This is a sweet 16.
It's a big deal.
Yeah, for Sash.
I think Skeletor over there
must be the DJ.
Can you tell him
where to set up?
Yeah. Hey, Trainspotting.
You have any glitchcore?
Wait, is that my boom box?
Yeah.
Is that my auxiliary cord?
Yeah.
Oh, do you want my phone?
Nah.
[INHALES]
Fucking disgusting.
Hey, don't do that
around the kids.
Actually, you know what?
Stay away from the kids.
We got music! I think.
Gentlemen, what are
you doing up here?
Girls are in the pool.
They're talking about you.
Jump in. Take your shirts off.
Don't piss in my pool.
Yo, Machine.
Uh, not today, brother.
Not today.
Ladies. Steer clear of the DJ.
Food's to the right, all right?
Hey, Kreischer,
no booze?
Hey, Madison's mom, no husband?
[LAUGHS]
Fucking bitch.
[CHUCKLING]
Killing it, B-Man. Killing it.
[ALBERT CLICKING TONGUE,
POPPING LIPS]
ALBERT:
Hey, there.
Dad?
In the flesh.
[CHUCKLES]
I see you haven't given up
trying to learn
how to barbecue.
Good for you, son.
[STAMMERS]
Wait, wh-what
are you doing here?
Well, I'm not gonna miss
my grandkid's sweet 16.
It's a big day.
Right. Right.
Well...
[CLICKING TONGUE]
[POPPING LIPS]
Not gonna flip 'em yet, huh?
Might be...
Hmm, it's okay, it's okay.
Really?
Well, I just don't want you
to mess 'em up.
You know, then people
will be disappointed.
You'll feel bad.
It'll be all that,
"Huh, remember Bert's barbecue?
Those burgers, yikes."
Goddamn it.
Oh, see?
Did you add egg to the mix?
Okay, Dad.
It binds. It moisturizes.
Makes a much better burger.
[SLAMS PLATE]
Oh.
My dad showed up.
From Florida?
Yeah.
And it took
about two seconds
before he started
making me mental with the...
[CLICKING TONGUE]
Look at him!
Hey, Boo Bear! Hi!
[BERT SCOFFS]
He's a monster.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Oh. Okay, yeah.
Breathe it out there, champ.
TATIANA: Hey, hey, Dad?
Yes!
Yeah, no.
The dog's pooping in the pool.
What?
[CLAMORING OUTSIDE]
Wait, how?
You paid money to see
my son take off his shirt
and tell his made-up story
about robbing a train
in Russia?
Dad, for the millionth time,
it's a true story.
Yeah.
It's my job, okay?
MAN:
And you should
get back onstage.
'Cause I've seen you
only like five times.
[CHUCKLES]:
You paid to see him five times?
I'm just shocked that
people would actually do that.
BERT:
Dad.
ALBERT:
You don't buy carpet five times.
Bye, Papa.
[LAUGHS]: Oh, sweetheart.
SASHA:
I'm sorry, I'm gonna go.
ALBERT:
Oh, don't worry about that.
And you remember,
you can call me anytime
whenever you want
to talk about...
well, you know.
All right. Bye.
BERT: Whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, wh-where are you going?
Hold on.
Bye, Bert.
Uh, Mr. Kreischer. Hey, stop!
What?
Where are you going?
Mads asked me to go to Big Bear
for like three days.
Oh. You are not going anywhere.
Hey, you're 16 years old.
And you're not going
to Big Bear 'cause I know
you're gonna drink beer
and smoke pot.
I'll be fine,
because I'm not you. Okay?
Okay, stop.
That-That's fair. That's fair.
I deserve that.
I deserve that. Okay?
Hey. Look at me.
Look at me. Don't go.
We wrap up this party,
me and you,
hang out tonight, we'll watch
"Dr. Pimple Popper."
I don't even watch
that show anymore, Dad.
And I don't even know
half of these people here.
What, are you kidding me?
You know-- What about this guy?
You know this guy.
Ray Ray.
You know Ray Ray.
Dad, I said
I wanted a small party,
and you promised
that you wouldn't embarrass me.
I'm just trying
to be a good dad.
See?
It's about you.
It's always about you!
Wh-What are you talking about?
How did I make it about...
How did you flip that?
Don't do that! Don't leave!
Don't you flip me off!
Don't-don't you get
in that car!
Don't get-- S-See?
This is the C-word behavior
I was talking about in therapy!
I'm not saying it!
I'm just pointing it out!
GIRL:
It's okay.
[SNIFFLING]
It's your fat fucking fault!
Asshole!
Goddamn it.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Son?
Not now, Dad.
Uh, we should, uh...
You know...
[SIGHS]
if you're searching
for a new path,
there's always room for you
at Kreischer Karpets.
I'm good, Dad, okay?
I'm good. I promise.
Just give me a minute.
Well...
I just wasn't sure, you know,
how you're making money
if you're not doing
the whole comedy thing anymore.
Hey, I'm a grown man.
I'll figure it out, okay?
Yeah, all right,
all right, you know.
Just trying to help.
[CHUCKLES]:
Ho-Hold on right there.
No, you're not.
You're never
trying to help, Dad.
That's the point.
When I got in trouble,
what did you say to me?
"Oh, don't be an idiot."
My advice to you was don't do
stupid things in public,
especially with the children.
Oh, same thing!
Which is good advice.
And you and Sasha
wouldn't be where you were
if you'd only listened to me.
Oh, my God.
Ma'am, the party's outside.
Okay?
IRINA [RUSSIAN ACCENT]:
Are you the Machine?
Oh, shit.
Yeah, I am. And I can do
a picture in a second.
I'm kind of having a private
moment with my father, okay?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
I'm here for the pocket watch
stolen on a train in Russia
23 years ago
by you.
Okay.
I'm having a shit-show day.
So, if this is
some sort of TikTok prank,
I'm about to lose
my fucking shit.
[CHUCKLES]
It's definitely a prank.
Clearly, that's a fake gun.
[BERT SCREAMS]
Or not!
She's got a fucking gun, Dad!
Yeah, I'm clear on that now.
Sit down!
Yes, ma'am.
My name is
Irina Ivanona Volgina.
And I suggest
you start remembering.
It was 20 years ago.
I barely remember that trip.
I don't have a watch,
and it's definitely not here.
Then you're coming with me
back to Russia to find it.
Russia?
[SCREAMS, GRUNTS]
Look at your daughter.
So innocent.
So pure.
So vulnerable.
Do you see that man?
BERT:
DJ Chemo?
He will follow her on her trip.
[BREATH SHUDDERS]
If you do not
find my watch,
he kills her.
If you try to run,
he kills her.
You say a word about this
to anyone...
...he kills her.
Okay. Okay.
I'll do whatever you want.
Just-just let my daughter go.
Yeah, listen,
I'll do whatever you want.
Just don't hurt my daughter.
And-and let my father go,
all right?
He wasn't supposed to be here.
He wasn't even invited.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
I'm going with you.
Dad, you're not going with me.
I wouldn't be able
to live with myself
if you failed to protect Sasha.
Dad, stop! You're not going!
He goes!
If you need persuading
in Russia,
he might be useful.
For torture.
The car is waiting.
We leave now.
Dad, put your fucking
hands down.
Excuse me.
Hey, Albert?
Hold, hold, hold, wait up.
Oh, my God.
I haven't even seen you yet.
I'm so sorry I haven't said hi.
Hello.
Hello, dear.
There are so many people here.
Hmm.
Hi. Oh. Who is this?
Uh, this is our, uh,
our Uber driver, uh, Sylvia.
Sylvia.
Hi.
Hi. Your Uber driver?
Where are you going?
Uh...
Um...
LEEANN:
Oh, my God.
Yeah. I see what's going on.
You two are gonna follow
Sasha to Big Bear.
Yes, we are.
Exactly. Big Bear, yes.
LEEANN:
Cool. Great.
Well, you know what?
I'll just stay home,
take care of everything,
and the two of you
can just fuck off
on your creepy little
puritanical...
I love you. I'm sorry.
Kiss Tats for me.
Dad, let's go.
Where...
Good work, Kreischers.
IRINA:
This is my bodyguard, Sponge.
Sponge,
like you absorb liquids?
Absorb bullets.

had ice in veins.
Could walk through the walls.
Drink more than any man.
I grew up hearing this myth.
You.
You're fat.
And you have tits.
Very disturbing.
BERT:
That's body-shaming.
And honestly, I expect
more empathy out of a woman.
Such a disappointment.
Like opening peanuts
and joke snake pop out.
Enjoy your flight, Machine.
It will probably be your last.

What?
You want to know why people
respect Kreischer Karpets?
Well, it's definitely
not 'cause
you spelled "carpets"
with a "K."
No, that's just good marketing.
It's because
we install anywhere.
We never show fear.
We face it.
So, Bert, don't show fear.

You really shoehorned

Ah, thanks, Dad.
We hope our sons grow up to be

we wish we could be, Bert.
Maybe this trip can
start you on that path.
And also,
if you lose that knife
in Russia,
I will disown you.

You stole it.

What about Fedor?
He was the gangster

Everything we stole
we gave to him.
Yeah, I talked to Fedor.
He doesn't remember

So I killed him.

Which Igor?

You will be taking courses...
YOUNG BERT:
I actually don't
speak much Russian.
What is "banditti"?
Oh, um, "banditti" is
the Russian word for mobster.
This is a class trip.
How come we've never met?
Oh, I don't go to class much.
I'm Bert.

Oh, Ashley.

But Russia is

Igor is our fixer.
He is only here

I am an Eagle Scout.
IRINA:
What is an Eagle Scout?
It's like if James Bond
was a Mormon.
An Eagle Scout
can get in anywhere.
You'd know that
if you'd become an Eagle Scout.
But no...
[SCREAMS]
[ELEVATOR BELL CHIMING]
My fist
is Eagle Scout.
[LAUGHS]
I'll wait in the car.
IRINA:
He has impulse control issue.
Very sad.
BERT:
Yeah. Steroids
will do that to you.
They really dressed
this place up.
Still have the world's
smallest elevator.
[PHONE BEEPS]
[IN RUSSIAN]
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Holy shit.
There was a woman
that sat right there.
She absolutely loved me.
Igor's room was
all the way down to the right.
I took a shit on a pizza box
right there.
Jesus, son.
Eh, it got mixed reviews.
Honestly, if I hadn't
sprained that finger,
probably would've made it
to the league.
But, you know, I wasn't
about to lose a thumb war
to a 12-year-old, you know?
Here you go, dabushka.
Gifts from
your American friend.
[SPEAKS RUSSIAN]
Aw.
Gifts are a very important
aspect of Russian life, Ash.
Bet you didn't know that.
Hmm.
Bet you didn't know
your fly was down.
[CLEARS THROAT]
IRINA [VOICE-OVER]:
Why are you telling us this?
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
Sorry.
Lot of memories
being back here.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING
OVER SPEAKERS]
Whoa, you live right across
from Igor and the banditti?
Do you ever hear, like, screams
coming from their room?
Uh, no, not really.
[LIVELY CHATTER]
YOUNG BERT: Look at them.
They're magnificent.
How do I talk to them?
How do I say my name?
[VIDEO GAME MUSIC PLAYING]
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
I planned the perfect sentence.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
But the second
I was face-to-face
with a real Russian gangster,
[CLEARS THROAT]
I panicked.
Ya machina.
Ya machina.
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
"Muchina" means badass.
"Machina" means machine.
I said I was the Machine.
IRINA [VOICE-OVER]:
You're an idiot.
Y-Ya machina.
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
Luckily...
[LAUGHTER]
...they thought
it was hilarious.
IGOR:
On machina! [LAUGHING]
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
They introduced me
to their world,
and I introduced them to mine.
Vodka, lemon,
two teaspoons of sugar.
These are called lemon drops.
They're called lemon drops.
Okay, they're from Florida,
and they're fucking delicious!
[CHEERING]
The Machine
is powered by lemons!
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
And the legend
of the Machine was born.
[YOUNG BERT SHOUTS IN RUSSIAN]
[ALL REPEAT SHOUT IN RUSSIAN]
All right, all right,
all right.
This next one's a little thing
I like to call
Beavis and Butt-Head.
[LAUGHTER]
His head is a butt!
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
They had no frame of reference
for American culture.
[BRITISH ACCENT]:
Do I make you horny?
[LAUGHTER]
ALBERT [VOICE-OVER]:
Austin Powers? Really?
BERT: Shut up, Dad.
[CHEERING]
So, I stole from the best,
and they thought it was me.
To them, I was just
some crazy genius
who could out-drink 'em all.
I'm the Machine!
[CHEERING]
[CHEERING]
I call this the "Macarena."
[PEOPLE SINGING DRUNKENLY]
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
Word spread fast.
And the legend of the Machine
just kept growing.
You're unbelievable...
[CHEERING]
IRINA [VOICE-OVER]:
Everyone in Russia
heard the stories.
You were folklore.
[BERT CHUCKLES]
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
I was good for Igor's business.
People paid him
to party with me.
Wait! The stash hole!
Igor's room has a stash hole
in it, in the wall.
And what does he keep
in this hole?
Beanie Babies.
Come on. Drugs, money and porn.
You're in the mob.
But maybe
there's something in there
that can tell us
how to find him.
It's this one right here.
I hope so,
for your daughter's sake.
[DOG BARKS]
Oi!
[BARKS]
Uh-huh, that's feminism.
You asked for it.
Fuck you! Pussy woman-boy!

That wall used to go

If I'm not mistaken...
[KNOCKING ON WALL]
[GROANS]
Bingo.
[WHISPERS]:
Oh.
IRINA:
No watch.
BERT:
This is something way better.
One of Ash's
pot brownies, Dad.
These things were gold
back in the day.
Why would anyone keep
20-year-old
[VOICE-OVER]:
marijuana brownies?
Ashley's pot brownies are the
best thing I've ever tasted.
They're mad strong, though,
so only eat a little.
Don't fuck.
[LAUGHING]
You're fucking with me, man.
Go fuck yourself.
Hey, how'd you become
a banditti?
One day,
man told me,
"Igor, help me
with this thing."
Thing was mafia.
BERT:
'Cause if I get hungry,
I get hangry,
and everybody knows
marijuana goes bad after time.
It's like the reverse
of pickles.
So, no Igor, no watch.
Just old money
and pickle weed.
This is not good
for you, Bert.
WOMAN: Fuck you.
[DOG BARKS, WHIMPERS]
IRINA:
Vanya.
It's not good for you either.

He is Machina?
The man's man?
Nah.
He has, uh... breasts.
Your friend, Igor,
he took over the trains
to Moscow.
And now I know
where to find the watch.
How do you know
Igor runs trains?
Because...
I am respected.
[SCOFFS]
I make it my job
to know these things.
You?
You are foolish woman.

I do not play.

You're an insolent child,

Now you come with me on train
or you go out window.
All right, let's go, Dad.
Come on.
Yeah, let's go.
All right.
Let's go.
See you around.
Put your hands down.
Well, this is wonderful.
We're about to be killed
by gangsters.
And you're pocketing
ancient pot brownies.
BERT:
You say shit like that
and you wonder why we haven't
visited in three years.
So now it's my fault?
Yeah.
I don't want to be around that
shit, and neither do my kids.
Your kids are great.
Don't bring them into this.
Oh, I know they're great, Dad.
They're my kids.
ALBERT:
You know, your problem
is you live this life
where you get rewarded
for indulging
in your worst tendencies.

VANYA:
I will present the boss

Dad.
I can't use that.
After I read

So bad. This is not going away.
I'm gonna meet the devil.
I'm going to fucking hell.
Oh, shit. Goddamn it.
ALBERT: I'm at my lake house.
The fish are jumping.
I'm having mac and cheese
for dinner.
Are you doing
breathing exercises?
You can't do breathing
exercises for murder, Dad.
I killed a man.
Well, technically
you killed several men.
Oh, God!
You're not helping!
Hey.
What?
It happens.
BERT:
I'm not gonna start
smoking cigarettes.
No, it doesn't happen.
A speeding ticket,
that happens.
Shitting your pants
at Best Buy, that happens.
My brother Vanya
was an asshole.
[GASPING]
Brother?
Like your real brother?
Like your mom and dad
are the same mom and dad?
Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know
he was your brother.
Don't be.
There is a power struggle
in the mob.
As oldest, I will inherit
my father's empire,
but Vanya wants control.
Wanted control.
He's dead.
[GASPS] Oh, my God.
I'm still
getting used to it.
What the fuck is happening?
Get me the fuck out of here.
Many others also want control.
They say I cannot run mob
because I'm woman.
This isn't happening.
SPONGE:
Boss.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
BERT:
Dad.
Give me some life advice,
some words of wisdom.
Everybody's got to die
sometime.
That's it?
That's your advice?
Well, what do you
want me to say?
That vulnerability is scary
and it's hard to open up?
Yeah, Dad.
That would've been great.

Son.
It was your mother
that was the coddler,
not me.

Thank you for making
his death very fast.
Well, then, can I real quick
call my daughter
just to make sure she's okay?
Don't push it.

ALBERT:
Now, this is the kind
of Russian architecture
I wanted to see.
We're not on
a sightseeing tour, Dad.
Hey, Irina,
I think this is gonna be great.
We'll find Igor,
we'll get your watch,
and then you can
let us go, right?
Holy cow.
This place hasn't changed
a bit.
Oh. Right there.
That's where Igor introduced me
to the train banditti.
I cannot go on
your student trip to Moscow.
What?
Yeah.
Different mafia runs train.
Igor, what am I
supposed to do here?
What you always do.
[IN RUSSIAN]
Come on,
show them your character.
British horny man. Come on.
[BRITISH ACCENT]:
Do I make you horny, baby?
[LAUGHTER]
Do I make you randy? Yeah.
Huh? It's classic.
IRINA [VOICE-OVER]:
You really like "Austin Powers"?
Yeah. It was really big
in the late '90s.
Give me a break, okay?
I get it.
I get why they liked you.
Wow, thanks, Dad.
Your toxic masculinity was
lighthearted
and progressive to them.
Yeah, well, your compliment
sounds a little bit
like a slam.
Quiet, fucked-up father-son.
SPONGE: Boss.
This is the Moscow line.
If Igor runs trains,
this is where he will be.
Be careful.
Train mob is very dangerous.
Don't worry.
Igor's my boy.
If he's here,
we're all set.
Yes, but he knows you.
They don't.
BERT: They look like
they're cosplaying
"American History X."
Let's go down further.
Less eyes.
[ENGINE REVS]

Hello.

[IN RUSSIAN]
[TRAIN HORN BLOWS]
BERT:
Doesn't that sound mean
the train's departing?
IRINA: Get on!
Wait, what's the plan?
What are we doing?
IRINA:
We stay on train
till we find Igor.
Get the plane,
meet me in Moscow
with the rest of the men.
I cannot believe I'm doing
this Moscow trip over again.
IRINA: Move.
Wow.
This train smells
exactly like it did in '98.
YOUNG BERT:
Ugh. It smells like
cabbage and grandmas.
So long, Saint Petersburg!
Hello, Moscow!
Oh, sorry.
[CHUCKLES]
Why does everyone here
look like
they want to punch me
in the face?
It's improper to smile
in Russia, Bert.
You save it
for the people you love.
Do you?
Really?
What even is that?
So, you want to stay up
all night in the bar car or...?
I don't know
how you can drink so much
and never gain any weight.
I just have really great genes.
Do you maybe want to hang
in my cabin instead?
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
I did.
I definitely did.
Ah, I got a new life...
Ow. Fucking idiot. Fuck.
Thanks, Dad,
for the dull fucking knife.
Ooh.
[SNIFFS]
Ah, why do I bother...
A-Ash. Hey.
Not the one for me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Is enough enough?
[GROANS]
I saw the sign
And it opened up my eyes...
Yeah.
Fucking ow.
Life is demanding
without understanding...
Oh, geez.
Way too much.
I saw the sign
Yeah.
I saw the sign
I saw the sign
I saw the sign
[KNOCKS]
And it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign.
[SONG ENDS]
Hey.
Hey, what are you doing?
Uh, not much.
[CHUCKLES]
I don't know.
It's pretty crazy in there.
So you still want to hang out?
It's cool if not.
You know, I'm a big fan
of, uh, romantic buildup.
ASHLEY: Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Like, I don't even think
Ross and Rachel
should be together yet.
No way. Me neither.
YOUNG BERT: Right?
Yeah.
Save that for the millennium.
I kind of think we should...
FEDOR: You.
Hey.
You are one
they call Machine?
Yeah, that's, uh, that's me.
FEDOR:
Hmm.
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
Fedor was the boss
of the train banditti.
He smelled like
nicotine patches
and looked at me the way
Ted Bundy looked at coeds.
It was horrible.
Machine does not ride
with the peasants.
Come, come.
Uh, Ashley, I'm gonna go
hang out with these scary dudes
for a little bit, and then
I'll be right back, okay?
I'll check back in.
FYI, I'm a good bed sharer.
Okay? Fun to cuddle with,
no night farts...
ALBERT [VOICE-OVER]: [SCOFFS]
You left that girl
so you could hang out
with a criminal?
IRINA [VOICE-OVER]:
He's right.
She was a sure thing.
[LAUGHTER, LIVELY CHATTER]
BERT [VOICE-OVER]: Yeah, well,
I've never been good
with sure things.
But Fedor took me
to the bar car.
This place had booze, drugs,
and here's
the real gangster part.
[IN RUSSIAN]
[CROWD CHEERING]
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
They knew who I was.
They like you, huh?
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
I guarantee this is
where we'll find Igor.
Wow, I guess nobody parties
in the bar car anymore.
IRINA:
Hmm. Especially Igor.
You know, 23-year-old me
loved this place.
Now it looks like
a truck stop bathroom.
I think your therapist
would call that
"growth people notice."
[CHUCKLES]
Wait.
Did LeeAnn tell you
I was in therapy?
[EXHALES]
Well...
[SIGHS]
when she called
to invite me to the party,
she opened up about
what you're going through.
After Sasha's arrest,
we were both worried you'd...
well, you know, mess up again.
Motherfucker!
Does no one trust me?
Or am I the guy that's
only gonna mess up again?
You're making a scene.
A scene?
I pay my bills
by making a scene!
I rip my shirt off and yell,
"I'm the Machine!"
MAN:
Hey!
Who says,
"I am Machine"?
You?
They say Machine can
walk through walls.
Only a ghost
can do that.
You...
you are not Machine.
You want to see
the fucking Machine?
They want to see the Machine.
Oh, you're getting
the fucking Machine.
Hey, where you going?
First up, I don't normally
do this for free.
Secondly, you're dressed
like dickheads.
Matching Nazi dickheads.
And third, you say it
three times and he shows up.
It's a lot like Candyman.
You've already said it twice.
That's me.
That's me on this bottle of
vodka that says "The Machine."
ALBERT: What are you doing?
Dad, sit down!
[ALBERT GROANS]
[IN RUSSIAN]
Igor.
Igor?
[MAN CONTINUES IN RUSSIAN]
Igor, it's your boy Bert.
You better have
my watch, bitch.
Finish it up.
Igor want to see you.
He will come
to the bar car soon.
But before that, it would be
an honor to party with you,
Machine.

That's how I felt.
I was king of the world.
IRINA [VOICE-OVER]:
Ugh. "Titanic"?
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was stealing wholesale
from A-list movies,
but it worked.
Let me tell you something.
Entertaining criminals
and sex workers was amazing.
Maybe that's why I do so well
in Florida, huh?
[LAUGHTER]
They don't even get it.
[LAUGHING]
Tell us more stories, Machine.
The bar car was a blast.
But it's also
where shit got real.
Uh, what do you want,
Fedor?
[SPEAKS RUSSIAN]
Bread. Okay, cool. Wait.
I knew you said "bread."
Yes.
I'm picking up the language.
Give me another one, come on.

I'm basically fluent.
[SPEAKS RUSSIAN]
Uh, money. Got it.
Cool. Um...
Oh, no, are we robbing
this guy?
Yeah, I don't...
I don't really want
to rob anyone.

Yes, you do.
Do it. Pussy.
First him, then train.
So that's what we did.
We robbed the train.
Yeah.

that's all my stuff.
Wait, wait, wait.
You're actually taking
my stuff?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
That's my dad's, uh, knife.
You can't take that.
No, no, no.
You can take the other stuff,
but the knife?
That's my dad's.
FEDOR: Really?
No go.
I can't take, huh?
I'm sorry, Dad.
I let him steal it.
YOUNG BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
It's all yours.

Machine.
Wow.
I would've cut out his heart
and make him watch it stop
beating with his last breath.
I guess
we're just built different.

But I think about it sometimes.
I think I liked
that story better
when I thought it was a lie.
And then what?
Story of you being
stupid idiot asshole is sad,
but you need to remember
my watch.
[DISTORTED CHATTER IN RUSSIAN]
I remember.
There was
one last private cabin.
[]
[IN RUSSIAN]
[IN RUSSIAN]
[IN RUSSIAN]
Do it.
Sorry.
[WATCH PLAYING GENTLE MUSIC]
That was the watch.
My father was no criminal.
He was a salesman.
And then you stole the
only thing he ever cared about.
He called police,
but no one would help him.
It made him say,
"Fuck honest living!
If you want respect,
you have to take it."
And from there,
he built our family.
Oh, my God.
I'm your origin story.
Most people see themselves
as Batman...
...not the guy
who killed Batman's parents.
What did you do
with the watch after that?
Uh, w-we went back
to the bar car.
Fedor went through
all the stuff that we stole.
[WATCH PLAYING GENTLE MUSIC]
Huh.
I... I hate this song.
[MUSIC STOPS]
Listen, in Russia,
we always give gifts
to a new friend.
Take, Machine.
He gave you the watch?
Where is it, Bert?
I need to know.
BERT: I don't know.
BANDITTI:
Machine.
Igor is here.
Igor, I present to you
the Machine.
[SPEAKS RUSSIAN]
Your friend has aged
even worse than you.
My men say,
"Come to meet famous Machine
from a vodka bottle."
I say, "Why not?
You can take selfie."
But you're not famous.
You have tits.
Yeah,
we've established that.
I don't know this guy.
This-this isn't Igor.
Who-who are you?
I knew old Igor.
My name is also Igor.
I took train from him,
make him disappear.
My train now.
Wait, Igor's dead?
Yeah.
And you're gonna die also.
IRINA: Enough.
I'm Irina Ivanona Volgina.

Never show fear, right?

Now, look.
Wait, that's the knife
you gave me.
No. I gave you one
just like it.
I knew you couldn't be trusted
with the original.

Does it really

Why did he say
he had permission to kill us?

Maybe ease up

Hmm.
It is so nice
to see you, sister.
You have another brother?
Mm.
ALEXEI:
Da. Three of us. Now two.
But thank you for killing him.
He was pain in ass.
And very stupid.
You have the meanest family
of all time.
Kind of you to say,
Machine.
[SNIFFS]
I can't agree with your methods
or your business model,
but it warms my heart
to see a son
willing to take on
his father's legacy.
Albert, Machine's father.

Oh, sister.
I intend to bring our father
the watch Machine stole.
It is over.
Give me Machine.
Machine leads me to watch.
I win.
All right. You win.
You get the watch.
It is here?

Oh, yeah. It is here.
In this room.

We don't have it.
We came to collect it.

Not nice.
You think you're so cool.
Sister, do you really think
you'd take over family?
Why?
I'm strong. I'm smart.
Please. You are a woman.
The world is changing.
Even for our family.
Father and I,
we laugh about your delusions.
You and Father
always underestimate me.
But you know what?
I deserve to be treated
as an equal.
Agreed.

Don't hurt my father, okay?

If he is alive,
I'm fucking killing him.
IGOR:
Oh. [LAUGHING]
Hey, Igor,
what brought you here?
Hey, thanks to you, Bert.
Me?
Yeah.
What?
When I saw how you find joy
in every moment,
it make me think,
"Mafia is dangerous."
[IRINA SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES] Not easy life.
And one day, as I strangle man
for not paying me for...
ah, wh-whatever,
I remember something you say.
What?
You told me
most important thing in life,
it is to find your smile.
Oh.
[GRUNTS]
[CHUCKLES] Igor.
Huh?
I stole that from
"City Slickers."
Billy Crystal? 1980s?
Cowboys? Nothing?
[LAUGHING]
His whole deal
is stealing shit.
BERT:
Back then, Irina. Okay?
Hey, I just left.
It was my choice.
My smile.
Mafia was not my smile.
This was.
Children, family, Sonia.
In mafia,
[CLICKS TONGUE]
I would have died.
But I have this,
thanks to you, Bert.
You saved my life.
Good for you, Igor.
Hey, at least I didn't ruin
his life, right?
IRINA [WHISPERING]:
Bert?
[KIDS LAUGHING QUIETLY]
[WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]
Bert?
Hey. Are you asleep?
Yeah.
What is this thing you did
that made your daughter
hate you?
All right.
So, me and my big fat friend
Tom were doing a podcast,
and we get accidentally
very fucked-up.
That's not so bad.
Wait for it.
So, Sasha's 15, right?
She's got her learner's permit.
I'm like, "Hey, come out to me.
Get my car, drive me home."
Right? Bam, bam.
You asked your teenage daughter
to drive you home drunk?
It gets worse, okay?
She rolls a stop sign.
Cop pulls her over.
Turns out,
having a parent in the car
doesn't count
if the parent's trashed.
[SIGHS]
She can't get her license
for two years.
I got a misdemeanor.
It was awful.
Well, if that's everything,
that's not so bad.
I wish that was the worst thing
my father ever did to me.
It almost sounds nice.
Four minutes before I passed
out, I started a live stream.
And I live streamed
the entire event.
It immediately went viral.
Next weekend was Father's Day.
She was so mad.
[BERT SCOFFS]
Oh, God, she didn't
talk to me for a month.
It was a wake-up call.
[SNIFFLING, CRYING SOFTLY]
I've been this party guy
for so long,
I don't even know
who I am anymore.
Then maybe you're not
supposed to be only Bert.
Huh?
Look what you did for Igor.
Your stupid drunk talk,
it-it saved his life.
I don't follow.
We do not grow by
destroying part of ourselves.
We grow by finding a balance
between parts.
Balance like Steve Urkel.
Did you just say "Urkel"?
It's a reference
to one of my favorite
American television shows.
"Family Matters."
You know it?
Uh, yeah. Wait. But w-wait.
What the fuck's Urkel
got to do with this?
Oh.
In season five,
Steve Urkel, uh,
takes this potion
that transforms him
into Stefan Urquelle,
like, this cool version
of him.
Everyone starts hating him,
but what does he do?
He doesn't surrender.
He improves his formula,
and in the end,
he gets best of both worlds.
You are the Machine
and Bert.
You have both sides.
But now
you need to balance.
[GASPS]
I get it.
Goddamn it.
I can't believe
I slept on "Family Matters."
Oh, you should
definitely watch it.
It's very good.
"Did I do that?"
[GASPS]
He watched it.
When Communists came,
politburo burned down the church
and-and build
this factory.
When the Communists leave,
factory closed.
When I came to the village,
I helped them build this.
BERT: You built this?
No, no. Inside.
I took you here because
building this place,
feeling closer to God,
taught me
how to forgive myself.
You know, for all the bad
things that I did, murders.
All those years ago,
why do you think I hooked you
up with the train banditti?
I don't know.
To show 'em a good time?
Da. And?
To keep your class safe.
Train banditti
are very dangerous.
They do terrible things
to the passengers.
I introduced them to Machine
to distract them
by doing what he always does.
[SIGHS]
Yeah.
Well, I robbed
a lot of people, Igor.
So?
Was anyone hurt, killed?
You spit in a girl's face.
You were an asshole.
But your class, they were safe
because you did exactly
what you're supposed to do
by showing them good time,
making them laugh.
You protected those people.
That is what a man does.
[CHUCKLES, SNIFFLES]
Goddamn it.
IRINA:
Seems you are a good man, Bert.
BERT: Thanks, Irina.

[SPEAKS RUSSIAN]
How do you
have that?
Y-You gave it to me
when you left Russia.
You said it was thank-you
for being a true friend.
You were very, very drunk.
[BERT LAUGHING]
I was embarrassed
taking it,
but the words were nice,
so I just took it.
BERT: Sweet, drunk words.
God, yes.
[LAUGHING]
Let's go, Bert.
Oh.
I have an empire to claim.
I would pay to listen
to her talk during sex.
I would pay
to have sex with her.
BERT:
Sorry about your bathroom.
Thank you
for taming the whore.
No, thank you.
I'll cherish these.
The fuck am I supposed
to do with a chicken?
Hey, Bert.
I need to come clean.
After train,
I talked to Fedor, and...
he gave me
what you stole from class.
Then everyone go back to USA,
so I kept it to remember.
BERT: Hold on. No way.
Huh? Yeah.
Dude.
Hey, take it.
And go to Moscow
and save your father.
If he's still alive.
He may have been
tortured to death.
I think
she's autistic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, man.
Thank you for everything,

No, no, no.
No?
You've been

he was just bragging about?

Who do you think
bought 'em for him?
And to think I thought I was
finally understanding you.
I... I found
your fucking knife.
Yeah, you want
this piece of shit?
When he kicked me
off the train,
I thought, "Maybe he's trying
to keep me safe,
protect me or has a plan."
But no plan. No fucking plan.
You're just a big old dick!
I may have let you down
in this world.
You pointed that out a lot.

You have let me down.

What are you gonna do
with a stick? Come on.
[LAUGHS]
I got your stick now.
[SHOUTS]
Not too bad.
[GROANING]
[CHUCKLING]
[GRUNTING FIERCELY]
[SHOUTING IN RUSSIAN]
Dad, put your hands down.
Get down now! Come on!
God, I'm so strong!
[YELLING]
Here we go.
Dad, Dad. Down, down.
Help me fuck up Lenin.
Let's do it.
Come on!
[BERT YELLING]
[DISTORTED SCREAM]
[BERT CHEERS]
ALBERT: Oh! [LAUGHS]
Take that, Communist!
Hey. Eagle Scout.
We have a rematch.
[BONE CRACKS]
[GROANS]
Hammer, Dad.
Here.
[GRUNTS]
[BOTH STRAINING]
More human than human.
[GROANING]
[SONG STOPS]
Oh, titty boy.
[SPONGE LAUGHS]
ALBERT:
I got you, son!
Dad! Dad!
SPONGE:
Sorry, old man.
[SPONGE SCREAMS]
Absorb that, Sponge.
[BERT LAUGHING]
Oh, shit.
Dad. Get off!
You okay? You okay?
I... I saved you.
[LAUGHS]
Yeah, you did.
[GUNSHOT]
Geez!
Oh, shit.
Come here!
Come on, Dad, let's walk.
Oh, shit. Shit. Let me see.
You... are nothing...
[GUN RACKS]
[GUN DROPS ON FLOOR]
...but an ignorant, fat
American who has no respect.
Our father earned our respect.
Your father...
sells carpets.
I think I will make him
watch you die, Machine.
My name's not Machine.
My name is
Albert Charles Kreischer III.
Son to
Albert Charles Kreischer Jr.,
owner and operator
of Kreischer Karpets,
the best goddamn carpets you
can find in Southwest Florida!
Three convenient locations.
Tell him, Dad!
And if I ever see
your albino-looking ass again,
I'm gonna whip it
quick as a bitch.
And last but surely not least,
I'm gonna need that knife back.
That's a family heirloom.
Hmm.
You want knife?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I wouldn't, I wouldn't
do it that way, though.
[GRUNTING]
Oh.
I would have someone help you.
Oh, God. It's...
Oh, my Jesus.
That's how Steve Irwin died.
[GRUNTS]
[PANTING]
Oh, my God.
You work out every day?
That's...
Looks like an everyday thing.
Enough talk.
All right, yep.
Oh.
So, now's when we bang, huh?
Nyet.
[BOTH GRUNTING]

BERT:
Okay, here we go.
[GRUNTS]
So you can fight.
I went to Florida State.
All we know how to do
is fight, fuck and drink.
And I can't fuck worth shit.
[GRUNTING]
[YELLING]
[SPITS, GROANS]
I just got that crown.
[BERT SPITS, GROANS]
Would you like to know
why I hate you, Machine?
Oh, I'm dying to know.
All my life, men were measured
against your stupid legend.
[BERT GROANING]
[PANTING]
"The beast."
"The man's man."
I say fuck that!
[GROANING]
So I worked to make myself
better than you.
Stronger than you.
Look at you now, Machine.
You are nothing.
[IRINA CHUCKLES]
So dramatic, Alexei.
All these fucking speeches.
[LAUGHING]
Irina.
Typical macho bullshit.
Oh, Dad!
[LAUGHS]
Whoa, whoa, my arm!
[GROANS]
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Son...
you didn't show fear.

[INHALES]
Your watch, Papa.
[WATCH PLAYING GENTLE MUSIC]
I brought it here
to return it to you.
So...
[SIGHS]
It's clear that I have won.
[LAUGHS]
Oh, Irina.
[SPEAKS RUSSIAN]
My beautiful daughter.
You want to take over?
You cannot even kill brother.
You become friends with idiot.
I would never
give this to you.
Actually, can I step in
for a second?
I think you guys
should talk it out.
Now, me and my dad...
[WHIMPERING]
This is Russia.
Okay, okay.
We don't do your weak America
lovey-huggy shit.
Da.
Hugs are for pussies.
[STAMMERS]
That explains a lot.
Alexei understands.
It is why he will run family.
You are weak.
A leader must be a wolf.
Kill or be killed.
If you do not like it,
take it up with God.
But you first.
[BOTH GASP]
[]
Did I do that?
[BERT SIGHS]
I am definitely watching
"Family Matters"
when we get home.
[]
[BERT MUMBLING EXCITEDLY]
Irina, we can work together.
I am your brother.
Shut the fuck up!
Take him to our family dacha
while I decide
which part of him to cut off
for his insolence.
Nyet!
Fuck you, bitch.
This is Russia.
[BERT LAUGHING]
Machine, I will
kill you someday!
I don't think so. [LAUGHS]
I will come for you!
I don't know about that.
Machine!
I can't hear you.
I will come for you!
Woo-hoo!
Go, me! Right?
[BERT WHOOPS]
That was awesome!
Thank you, Bert.
You inspired me.
Wait, how?
When you said
you're going to kill your dad
at Igor's house.
Oh, you said you were gonna
kill me?
Well, yeah.
You kicked me off a train.
Now go, before police shows up.
And, Bert.
Yeah?
Your daughter is sweet.
My DJ friend tells me
she's a good girl.
[SIGHS]
Some drugs,
but smoke, not snort.
Okay.
Good girl.
Yeah.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
You're a good dad.
Keep it up.
Or else your daughter
may kill you.
[LAUGHING]
[LAUGHING NERVOUSLY]
Oh.
Ah.
[GRUNTS]
Thanks, Irina.
See you around, pussy boy.
[ENGINE STARTS]

[TIRES SQUEALING]
[TICKING]
SASHA:
Hey, deuces. Bye.
MADISON:
Bye, girl.
Dad?
BERT: Keep it, sir. Thank you.
Dad, look. Mom said that...
Oh, my gosh!
There she is! Come here!
What?
Oh, my God, I love you.
I am so sorry.
You are a fantastic kid.
[BERT SIGHS]
No, look.
I'm really sorry.
I was really mean at the party.
Look at us. We're apologizing.
I should be kidnapped to Russia
once a year
just to make this happen,
right?
[LAUGHS]
What?
Oh, there's the smile.
You did that smile
when you were a little girl.
You're still my little girl.
Oh. And there's my woman.
Oh, well, well.
It's nice to see you two back.
I hope you worked out
your shit finally be...
Wow.
The fuck are you wearing?
Oh, my God, what is that smell?
Okay, these are clothes.
I do not know
what that smell is.
Did you go to Vegas?
I did not go to Vegas.
Where's your dad?
Dad's in Florida.
He's got a doctor buddy
he plays golf with
who doesn't ask any questions.
We could all use one of those,
right, guys? Am I kidding?
Dad! Hey!
Oh, there she is!
From the top rope!
[GRUNTS]
Oh, my gosh!
Oh, I love you!
My favorite daughter!
Just kidding. I'm not kidding.
Hey.
I can't wait till
you get kidnapped.
[LAUGHS]
What?
Guys, Dad's back!
Dad's back!
It's old-school Dad!
THERAPIST:
How was your week?
Oof. Complicated.
BERT [VOICE-OVER]:
Dear Ashley, are you still hot?
I'm not.
I don't expect you
to forgive me,
but I wanted
to keep my promise.
Gifts are an important aspect
of Russian life.
So are apologies.
This is mine.
Last week, the subject
of your father came up,
and I thought
we could explore that.
Jesus Christ, Dad.
That Annika girl.
Did you wear condoms?
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Will you stop? Stop.
[LAUGHS]
I'm just saying.
I don't want to hear it again.
Please put that
down the memory hole.
I can't, Dad. Geez.
Since when do you have
such a razor-sharp memory?
What happened...
Oh, when you say,
when you say things like,
"Your mom is
a missionary woman."
ALBERT [VOICE-OVER, FADING]:
Oh, no!
Nah, we're good.
You and your father?
Yeah. We're thick as thieves.
Butch and Sundance.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, if you don't mind,
can I ask
how that resolved itself?
You can ask, but I don't think
you're gonna believe me.
Well, humor me.
Hmm.
All right.
When I was 48 years old,
I got involved with
the Russian mafia.
Here's how it happened.
["FATHER OF MINE"
BY EVERCLEAR PLAYING]
Father of mine
Tell me,
where have you been?
You know
I just closed my eyes
My whole world disappeared
Father of mine
Take me back to the day
Yeah, when I was still
your golden boy
Back before you went away
I remember blue skies,
walking the block
I loved it
when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk
You would take me
to the movie
You would
take me to the beach
You would take me
to a place inside
That's so hard to reach.

[SONG ENDS]
What's up, Florida?
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
It's your boy, Bert Kreischer.
[DISTORTED]:
The Machine.
[NORMAL VOICE]:
I love three things:
having a great time...
MAN: Yeah!
...making sure other people
have a great time...
Yeah!
...and quality carpets
delivered at
a reasonable price.
CROWD:
Oh, yeah!
That's why, if you're looking
for some acrylic,
wool, plush, saxony
or level loop--
none of that nylon shit...
MAN: Ew.
...you need to find your way
to a Kreischer Karpets.
It's my dad's business,
and he's right here.
Say hi, Dad.
Hey, son.
You can't say a swear on TV.
The best goddamn carpets
in Southwest Florida.
That's Kreischer Karpets,
spelled weirdly with a "K."
Take it off, Dad.
Okay, fine.
Did we mention we have
three convenient locations?
