Close Enough (2020) s01e03 Episode Script


[♪♪♪]
Friday night!
Who's ready for the DTLA
Hot and Hard Festival?
Yeah!
I am not overpaying for pills
from a dude in a
porta-potty again.
[LAUGHS] We've got uppers,
downers, laughers, screamers,
tampons soaked in vodka,
and your favorite --
[GASPS]
Cherry MDMA bites!
And for me -- I stole this
from UCLA before I got fired.
Uh, you got anything
more Dad speed?
A glow stick, maybe?
[LAUGHS]
Yeah, a glow stick.
Josh! W-W-Wait,
you're drinking it?
Uhhh yeah.
I thought you guys were telling
me about a life hack.
That's awesome!
[CHANTING]
ALL: Hot and Hard! Hot and Hard!
Thanks for letting me
pretend like
I have enough free time
to go to a concert.
What a rush.
[GAGS]
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[ON VIDEO]
MAN: Hmm, what do we have here?
Oh. It looks like
a piece of plastic?
It's a similar shape
as the toy
Ahh!
Morning, Candice.
May I present to you
Ta-da!
Eggs Bunny-dict!
[MUNCHES]
[BURPS]
Hmm.
Hey, you watching
an unboxing video, Candice?
[ON VIDEO]
MAN: We've this sort of, uh, spinner toy.
Let's see what
this is all about.
Candice, why don't you
just unbox this one?
This is better.
Hey, I got an idea.
Let's do something
we can both enjoy?
All right Candice, this guy
right here is Teddy Ruxpin.
Hi. Can you and I
be frieeeeennnnn
[SCREAMS]
Oh, dude!
[BEEPING]
Magic Eight Ball, are we having
a great time right now?
Huh?
[ON VIDEO] MAN: Yes, another twist tie!
Interesting choice
they made on that one.
Teddy, how am I gonna
bond with my daughter?
Let me die.
Hey, let's get rid of
this evil robot.
Might as well.
Candice doesn't want to do
anything I liked as a kid.
[GASPS] Whoa!
My old skateboard!
I used to love skating.
Whoa!
A body rollerskate!
Look, look! I'm a foot!
Hwuh, hwuh, hwuh, hwuh.
I haven't seen her this happy
since that coyote bit her
and she thought she was
gonna turn into a werewolf.
Candice, you want me
to teach you how to skate?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[GASPS]
Skate Dad.
Big day, Candice!
I remember when my dad
took me to my first skate shop.
Sure, they're a little
grungy, a little cluttered,
but I'll be there to guide
you the whole way,
Wooooow.
- What up, what up, what up!
This guy knows what time it is!
Oh my God, Dad,
that's Bob Jonesworth! Dad?
[HORN HONKS]
[HORN BLARES]
All right, Candice,
you ready to go in?
Yeah!
Dad, why did you take me
to the Apple Store?
What the
Oh, check this out.
Bob Jonesworth bombing
Baxter Street.
[YELLING]
What a legend.
Someday, you'll be bombing hills
just like your dad used to.
Bob Jonesworth is my dad?
No. I'm your dad.
That's never mind.
What up, what up, what up!
This dude knows what time it is!
Oh, can I help you
with some watches?
What?
We're here to shred.
I'm looking for some
righteous decks!
Uh, righteous dicks?
No, man, a deck.
I want a skateboard.
Oh. You're gonna want
The Goosh.
Yo, Goosh!
Be right with ya, folks!
- Ohh!
- Oh, my God, wow.
I could do that.
Hey, I'm The Goosh.
Can I help you?
No doubt. No doubt, no doubt,
no doubt, no doubt.
Pardon me, sir?
Uh, we're looking for a
skateboard for our daughter.
Nice!
What's your name, shorty?
Candice. Why do they
call you "The Goosh"?
Because when I skate
it sounds like
Goooooosh!
[LAUGHS]
[FRUSTRATED GROAN]
So, can I help you
pick a deck, here?
No! We're good.
We'll do the picking.
You can just do the selling
or ringing up or whatever.
No help needed.
All right, Candice.
Choose wisely.
Mmmm
That one!
[OMINOUS SATANIC VOICE MUMBLING]
Oh my God, Josh,
that board is $100.
Well, this one's on sale.
Is that you?
Yeah! Well, no,
it's a picture of me.
The real me is right here!
Oh, hello, Goosh!
That's a little inappropriate
for children.
We'll take the Satan board.
[LAUGHS]
Daddy, can you teach me how to
ollie like "The Goosh?"
The cashier? Nah. He doesn't
know what he's doing.
- Can you Ollie?
- Oh, I dunno.
BOTH: Show us! Show us! Show us!
Okay, fine.
Watch and learn.
[SCREAMS]
[SIREN WAILING]
Taking notes, Tony Hawk?
That dude just got ass knifed!
I'm fine. I'm not
done shredding yet.
Daddy, what's an ass knife?
Uhh, that's a different lesson!
EMILY: Dang, Josh. I can't believe
they put a metal plate on your taint.
[SIGHS]
Skate Dad is skate sad.
At least I'm trying my best,
unlike my dad.
All he ever did was point
at his watch angrily.
I know it means a lot to Candice
that you're trying so hard.
"This guy got ass-knifed.
We have to take him
to the hospital."
[IMITATES SIREN]
I'm gonna go show her
how to roll down that ramp.
Haha! You know what? Your
metal plate is kind of cool.
Does it hurt, though? The only thing
that's hurting is my heart,
because I can't be out there
helping Candice
realize her skate potential.
Now, let me be. These pain pills
should be kicking in any min--

Hey, what's going on?
Where are we right now?
Hey, Dad!
Check it out!
Wait, you taught Candice
to skate?
Nooo
Yo, Skate Dad!
Your kid's a natural!
[ECHOING]
Natural.
Josh!
What?
I knew how bad you wanted
Candice to learn to skate,
so I went back to the skate shop
and I signed her up
for a lesson.
You shred, Candy!
We'll have you
ollyin' in no time!
Thanks, Papa Goosh!
[ECHOING]
Papa Goosh.
THE GOOSH: Yeah!
great job, guys! Whooo!
So stupid.
Pff. Hmph.
[CHEERING]
Pfft.
I could do that.
Wah! Oof!
Candice!
You okay, Candy Cane?
I scraped my knee!
I got it.
[OMINOUSLY]
Now, I'm Skate Dad.
[LAUGHS EVILLY]
JOSH: That's it!
Come on, Emily.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
We're leaving.
Whoa, Sir-groiny Weaver,
where's this coming from?
I've had enough.
It's one thing that this guy
is teaching Candice to skate,
but now he's trying to
out-Skate-Dad me, too?
Aw, come on.
Hey, I can teach you, too.
It's a free class.
You know what, The Goosh,
you're full of it!
Enough with the nice-guy act.
Act? I'm nice.
I'm a nice guy.
We're gonna settle
this old-school.
Let's bomb the gnarliest
hill in LA --
Baxter Street.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
No doubt.
No doubt. No doubt, no doubt.
Josh, this is insane!
Uh, excuse me, sir. Obviously,
you're a little agitated.
Skate Dad is not too old
to bomb Baxter Street!
Josh!
What is wrong with you?
Why are you doing this?
Skate or die!
Whooo!
- Candice!
- Whoa!
I'm coming for you, baby!
Wait! I haven't taught you
about street bombing yet!
If anyone's gonna teach her,
it should be me, Skate Dad!
- Hang on, Candice!
- Ma'am!
What you're gonna want to do
is lean with the wind.
I'm scared, Goosh!
Don't tell The Goosh
you're scared. Tell me.
I'm your Dad!
Why are you doing this?
Why am I doing this?
This was supposed
to be my fun thing
that I get to do
with my daughter.
And this evil Goosh-bag
is trying to take
that away from me!
I don't need your help
'cause I know what time it is.
Huh?
Dude, listen.
My dad never took me skating,
and I'm trying to be a different
type of dad for Candice.
Goosh, thanks for your help,
but I have to do this myself.
Whoa, gnarly!
My old man never
took me skating.
I just took it up to reject him.
Respect, dude.
- No doubt.
No doubt. Goosh out!
Okay, I'll admit
that was pretty cool.
Daddy!
Candice, you have to stand up!
Okay.
I'm doing it!
[CHEERING]
Whoa!
Jump back!
I got you!
What?!
Just do it!
Come on, baby.
Hold together.
Oh, shi
Oh, no.
Josh, look out!
- [GASPS]
- [LAUGHS]
Go under!
Go under!
[GASPING]
[YELLING]
Over there!
[YELLING]
[CHEERING]
[GASPING]
[BOTH LAUGH]
Yeah, Skate Dad! Yeah!
That man's no Skate Dad.
He's a Skate Father.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Well, all the tests came back.
And I hate to say it, but
there's nothing wrong with you.
Then how do you explain this?
Aah!
Or this?
Whaa!
I have seen this before
from patients under
a lot of pressure.
Have you been stressed?
- Me?
[PAPER RUSTLING]
[CLICKING]
[EXPLOSION]
Sweet cashmere Jesus!
Hey, have you seen my vibrator?
-No.
[HIGH-PITCHED HUMMING]
Whoa!
Whoa! Whaa!
Nope.
All good in the 'hood.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
I'd like to thank you guys for
givin' up part of your Saturday
to help me beta test
my new game.
Welcome to Ladder World!
[CLANKING]
[SCREECHING]
So we just climb the ladders?
Yeah.
[LAUGHING]
It's working!
It's working!
[SCREAMS] Help!
[GASPS]
Why would you put this
in the game, Josh?
Son of a glitch.
Oh, no! Kevin Costner's head
from "Waterworld"!
[GROWLS]
Get me out of here!
[GROWLING]
[ALL GRUNT]
[GROWLS]
I loved you in "Draft Day"!
[ALL SCREAM]
[ALL GROAN]
So, any feedback?
Great news.
There's nothing wrong with me.
Uh, you sure about that,
Pacquiao?
Dr. Glandz mentioned
some nonsense about stress,
but little does she know
I'm immune to it.
[GLASS SHATTERS]
Ooh. Immune feels like
too strong of a word.
It's fine! I'm just
gonna make my to-do list
a ta-dow done list.
Where's my list?!
Um, maybe eating something
might make you feel better?
Uh
Oh, great!
We don't even have any food!
Hey, hey, hey.
It's okay.
We always have
the earthquake ham.
[FREEZER HUMMING]
[ECHOING]
Someone stole the friggin' ham!
- It's gonna be okay.
- Is it, Josh?
If an earthquake hits today,
guess what we're eating?
Each other!
- I don't know.
You're all too bony
for my taste.
Ha!
Found it!
- I'll take care of that!
- What? No!
You need a break.
Let me give you
a stress-free day.
This is a bad idea.
No, I promise I'll put
100% of my mind to it.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
My last fortune cookie did tell
me to "Trust Josh more."
Come with me.
It's time for you to loosen up.
No Stress is my middle name.
I had it legally changed.
I was high.
Man!
Em is gonna be so stoked
that we're breezing
through this list.
Last thing.
"Earthquake ham."
Next!
I'll take your finest $10 worth
of ham, my good man.
Pft, you busting my balls, man?
Haven't you heard about
the SoCal ham shortage?
This local meat artisan runs
the only business in town
that still has ham.
How are you still hamming it up?
Oh, we always keep some around
in case of a shortage.
But then uh-oh! We have
to jack up our prices!
"Not stolen hams"?
Uh, no, it's Notschstolen.
Uh, from -- from Germany.
[LAUGHS]
Those guys are
ripping everybody off!
We're gonna go to that factory,
and we're gonna get a ham.
[HORN SQUEAKS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
They found me!
I don't know how,
but they found me!
Who?
The clowns!
ALEX: Okay, so the circus
was in town last week,
and I met some clowns
who never back down from a bet.
So, I told them,
"I bet you can't
make a giraffe."
[BALLOON SQUEAKS]
I was like,
"Ha! That's just a dog."
And he said, "Wait for it."
Long story short
I owe them 3 grand.
Dude!
[HORN SQUEAKS]
[GASPS]
Meat factory it is.
I have all my coupons organized,
so check-out should be fast.
[INHALES DEEPLY, EXHALES SHARPLY]
[LAUGHS]
100% no-stress day.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
[COUGHS]
Holy sh--
[COUGHING CONTINUES]
How long till this hits?
Soon-ish?
It all depends on your
[SLOW MOTION] tolerance.

[BREATHING SHALLOWLY]
Whoops, Emily.
Aah!
Me daughter teacher?
[♪♪♪]
Aw, sick!
Look at what they're
putting in the meat.
That is so gross.
Dude, look up there.
I bet there's hams in there.
[BOTH GRUNT]
Factory tour's on Thursdays.
Hello, sweetie.
I have the perfect place
for you.
[BOTH GROAN]
Wha-- W-where's Candice?
Where is she?!
Lil' Missy?
She's in a better place now.
[BOTH GASP]
Our Michelin-rated daycare center.
So you're the ones
behind the SoCal ham shortage.
You freakin'
hipster hamburglers.
Um, hamburglers
are an entirely different
and, frankly, rather cartoonish
kind of meat thief, okay?
This is
a professional operation.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYS]
[CRASHES, GLASS SHATTERS]
MAN: Get the ham! Get the ham!
[LAUGHTER]
Our next scam -- buttholes!
And we're not even trying to
make them look like hot dogs.
And guess whose buttholes
are going in the next batch?
Two nosey nerds!
Ah, come on, man! Nerd?
That word means enthusiast,
and it's not derogatory!
- Aah!
[BOTH GRUNT]
[WHIRRING]
Aw, man.
There was only one item
left on the list.
Damn you, ham!
Aah! Aah!
[HEARTBEAT, ZAPPING]
[COMPUTER SOUND PLAYS]
[♪♪♪]
Thank you, brain.
[GRUNTING]
I'm limitless!
[♪♪♪]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Let's roll, bitch.
Who are you?
[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS]
Uh I can't believe we ran
into Candice's teacher.
He totally knows I'm high.
Relax.
He has no idea.
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
Wine?
No, thanks.
Please.
[LIGHTER CLICKS]
[INHALES SHARPLY]
[GASPS]
Weed?
I didn't do it!
Huh?
[STAMMERING]
[GASPING]
[♪♪♪]
Ohh!
Bitch, use your words!
[PANTING]
Dude, the ham!
Holy shoat.
[♪♪♪]
[BOTH LAUGH]
Hey, how'd you know
"shoat" meant pig?
JOSH: I don't know, I just did.
No, I told you guys,
I deleted my Facebook.
You want to get
in touch with me,
you write a letter.
Hey, they're getting away!
No, no, no.
They got our hams!
After them!
[♪♪♪]
[SOFT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS]
So, I work too, which I want to,
'cause, you know, feminism.
I'm just trying so hard
to do a good job.
And you are!
But it won't feel like it
till you start doing things
for yourself.
I don't even know what I like.
Find out,
before you stab a bitch.
You're right.
I've got to find my thing!
Go find it, girl.
Go find it.
- Whoa!
- Whoa!
[SLOW MOTION LAUGHING]

Watch your freakin' driving!

and I met some clowns
who never back down from a bet.
[GASPS]
Stripper clowns, hamburglers,
we bet our lives
[ALL GASPING]
that you can't beat us
in Ladder World!
[ALL GRUNTING]
[ALL GRUNTING]
[COUGHING]
[WEAKLY] Emily.
What's happening?
You have to take my place
in Ladder World.
We bet our lives.
They'll kill us all.
How do I even play?
Just climb ladders.
[ALL GRUNTING]
[♪♪♪]
Wait, this is actually
kind of fun.
[LAUGHS]
[GRUNTS]
Gotcha!
Aah!
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Whoo-hoo!
[♪♪♪]
That was on purpose!
[BEEPING]
I won?
[LAUGHS]
Yes!
[LAUGHS]
Amazing!
I feel incredible!
[BOTH SMOOCH]
Can't we just kill them?
Respect the bet!
Whoa. Is this my thing?
Video games?
Guess who's
zero-percent stressed?
- Yeah!
- Yahoo!
Whoo!
[LAUGHS]
Bridgette, where were you?
I've actually been outside
talking to the hottest guy
right now.
Anybody want to see me
make a Brontosaurus?
Yeah!
- Do not let him do that!
