Back in the Game s01e04 Episode Script

1 Whoo! [Slurring.]
I'm okay! And Bingo was her name-oh - Knock, knock.
- Who's there? [Bell dings.]
Girls! Pick it up! [Children playing.]
[Shudders.]
- These boys are out of control.
- What is wrong with them? They intentionally stuff their faces with pizza, and then they run around until they puke.
That's not fun.
How's that fun? You know what's fun? Digestion.
And they're sticky.
They're always sticky! Whoa.
Cover me.
I'm going in.
[Children shouting.]
Okay.
What do you got? What do you got? Hang on, hang on.
There.
[Chuckles.]
I just want to be home.
[Door closes.]
Animals.
Announcer: The crowd is loving it.
[Crowd cheering.]
It's the bottom of The 8th inning, and so far Whose turn is it to wash the dishes? - I did them last time.
- I did the laundry.
Well, there's not one clean plate for me to use.
This morning, I had to eat cereal out of Danny's frisbee.
- There's a hole in that frisbee.
- I know! Look, I am not a full-time maid.
No kidding.
If you were, this place would be a lot cleaner.
I been telling you all along.
Use paper plates.
- We are not using - The environment can suck it.
Boom.
[Laughs.]
- Ha.
- Okay, new rule.
When you use something, wash it off and put it back.
We're all in this together, right, family? Right, family that sounds like one of them hippie cult things.
[Buzzer sounds.]
You better not be lying about doing the laundry.
Hey.
Dad! I never have to do the laundry again.
[Laughs.]
That's what I'm talking about, my brother.
[Laughs.]
I'm back I'm back [Fence rattles.]
[Laughter.]
- Take your base.
- Dudley: Time.
What's going on? You're all over the place.
- What the heck does she see in him? - Who? Can we hurry this along? I got cotillion in a half-hour.
Ticktock.
What is the holdup? Danny's got girl problems, and Parvu has to go to cotillion, whatever that is.
Ballroom dancing for couples that resembles a quadrille.
Do we have Vanessa on the noggin? I mean, seriously.
What does David have that I don't? Well, he's great at baseball.
He's got a great head of hair, one on his chest, and owns 50 limited-edition pairs of sneakers.
I dreamed I was royal baby.
- We have to poop! - We have to poop! Woman: Keep your eye on the ball, sweetie.
Man, I haven't seen a drumming this intense since the Miami Sound Machine concert at the fabulous forum.
[Laughs.]
Front row.
Hey, hey.
Guys, what's going on? Well, Danny's upset about David and Vanessa.
Parvu's late for a cotillion.
Dong thinks he's the royal baby, and the gingers need to poop.
- We have to poop.
- We have to poop.
We're dealing with a lot of crap.
Enough! Take your positions, and let's finish this up like a team.
Vince, Vance lock it up.
Sorry, coach, but that's time.
That's the ballgame! [All cheering.]
[Laughs.]
Oh, these guys suck.
[Indistinct conversations.]
None of you are going to help me? - Hi, darling.
Hi.
Mwah.
Mwah.
- Mwah.
Mwah.
I am so sorry that I missed the match, darling.
I met a new friend and completely lost track of time.
- Huh.
- I know.
So, how did you get on? How was the game? Oh, well, we lost, 21-0.
Oh, only 21-0? Oh, that's fabulous! That's better than last time.
You must be thrilled.
No, I am losing it.
My family is driving me nuts.
I need a night away from boys under 10 and over 70.
I-I can't even remember the last time I had a fun night out.
No, no.
Me, too.
I But that is mainly due to blackouts, though.
You know what? I am gonna get the Cannon to watch Danny, and you and I are gonna go out tonight! - Oh, yay! - Yes! - Splendid! - Our first girls' night out.
- Yes! - Oh, we'll drink and dance.
And then we'll drink some more, 'cause I love drinking.
- Yes! - And then we'll just end up naked on some man's yacht.
- Yes! - Oh, that sounds good.
- Yes! - Except for the yacht part.
It's enough to make you go crazy whoa-oh-oh-oh ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh and I'd be crazy not to care Hey, bud.
What seems to be the problem here? I don't understand girls.
- What's to get? - I don't know.
I always do as my Mom told me.
I'm nice.
I'm funny.
I always hold doors open.
Just none of it works! They always end up with a guy like that.
Well, first off, you can't take advice on chicks from chicks.
It would be like asking a fish how to fish.
- What? - This nice-guy thing you got going on here.
It's obviously not working.
Girls like a bad boy.
Jimmy Dean, you got the man in black, Johnny Cash, Kennedy.
And I'm not bragging, but I had a hell of a roll myself.
We were all bad boys just drowning in a sea of flesh.
I mean, you got to get you some of that.
I can't just change who I am.
Of course, you can.
You can be anybody you want to be.
So I can be that guy? Yeah, sure, why not? See how that girl's hanging all over him? You know why? He's making believe he doesn't care.
That makes 'em crazy, and it gets the jealous going.
So, if you want your chick to notice you more, just pay less attention to her.
She'll come a-knockin'.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hmm? Can I ask you a question? Did you date bad boys when you were growing up? [Chuckles.]
I married one.
- Why? - Why? [Groans.]
'Cause it was exciting.
- So, the bad-boy thing kind of works? - Well, until it doesn't.
So what I'm hearing is that it gets you in the door.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, what door? - No doors.
- All right.
Terry Sr.
: Hey, good night.
- Good night.
- Wait.
Where are you going? - I want to go out with Lulu tonight.
- What? I got Bingo tonight.
- You don't play Bingo.
- Bingo is a chick.
I met her at the bar the other night.
Uh - [Blows.]
don't wait up.
- I really need a night out.
Sorry, can't do.
Come on, I really need you to be the other parent.
Like it or not, we're kind of raising Danny together.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Since when? I didn't sign up for that.
Look I did my parenting.
You've never been arrested.
You're not a stripper.
- [Claps.]
Job's done.
- I never had a 20s.
I need to go out.
I am asking you for one night.
Listen, I'm truly very sympathetic to your problem.
How about this Why don't you just sneak out for a couple of hours while the kid's sleeping? I used to do that with you all the time.
I am not leaving Danny here by himself.
Okay, why don't you just go see Bingo another night? It's kind of time-sensitive.
She's got to go back to the joint tomorrow.
So, uh, have a nice night, okay? [Sighs.]
[Door opens.]
"The joint?" [Door closes.]
B-I-N-G-O B-I-N-G-O B-I-N-G-O and Bingo was her name-oh - # yeah, yeah # - So, how was your night last night? It was weird.
She was the one that yelled "Bingo.
" Awesome.
[Laughs.]
So, you got your night.
Now I get mine.
You are going to watch Danny.
I'm going to work all day.
And then I am going out with Lulu.
A-Are you sure you want me to do this co-parenting thing? As you might recall, I parented you, and let's see You got divorced.
You work at a pizza parlor.
- And you live with your father.
- Okay, I get it.
But don't you see? This is a chance to redeem yourself, right? See, you always wanted a son.
You named me Terry Jr.
, for god's sake, so have at it.
- Father away.
- You're very trusting.
It's not trusting.
It's desperation.
I really need a night away from all of this the sights, the smells, the sounds.
Okay, fine, but, you know, if I do ruin him, it's on you.
Chicken nuggets, bath, bed in that order.
Right chicken bath, your bed nuggets, and it's handled Bingo.
- Hey, buddy.
That's a new look.
- Yeah, I'm trying something new.
Hey, man.
That's it.
Express yourself, my man.
- Yeah, brother.
- Come on, Terry.
- That's right.
- He just call me Terry? Oh, come on [trash-metal playin'.]
forgetting nothing end the fight forgiving less, before the fight ends you forgetting nothing end the fight forgiving less, before the fight ends you - 'Sup? - Hi - Is that a new shirt? - Where's your little boyfriend? Don't care.
So, enough of this little dancing around we've been doing.
You, me, "Paranormal Activity 4" on demand tonight.
- I can't go out on a school night.
- You want me to talk to your folks? - Huh? Straighten 'em out? - So, you a metal fan? - Hell, yeah.
- Who do you like? - Slipknot's pretty rad.
- You're cute.
A bunch of us are hanging out at the park tonight.
Just listen to some music and chill.
Danny: Sounds cool.
- Rad.
- Yeah.
Vanessa: Hey, Danny.
If I talk to my parents, I might be able to hang out tonight.
Let me know how that turns out.
- So, Danica, you want to buy me lunch? - Okay.
Aah whoa So, how was your first day as a changed man? Vanessa was so jealous.
And this other girl, Danica, she brought me lunch.
Danica, huh? I'm telling you, this bad-boy thing works.
There you go.
Man, I am so tired of these lame snacks.
I want those.
So, what do you think? Who's the easy team to beat? Yeah, so? I mean, do something about it.
I mean, I know I would.
[hard-rock music.]
- Look.
- What's he doing? [Lid slams.]
Hey, pal! Afraid you can't havethose.
Those are our snacks! Okay, Stan! Ohh! Yeah! Dig in, boys.
- I call the red one.
- Boy: No, give me two! You're a quick study, buddy.
Reel her in, my man.
Excuse me, Cannon.
Just so you know, I did this is all for you.
- You looked thirsty.
- Thanks.
I am.
I spend one afternoon away from the field, and I find out you're stealing the other team's snacks? What is wrong with you? - Hey, I only did it 'cause he told me to.
- Hey, you little rat stool pigeon.
I didn't think you were strong enough - to throw me under a bus.
- I knew this reeked of you.
Literally I can smell him wearing your cologne.
I take no responsibility.
My parenting comes with a disclaimer.
And you, Danny.
You should know better than to listen to him.
I thought I taught you how to make better choices.
- Hey, hey.
Ease up, Terry.
- Yeah, ease up! What did you just say to your mother? Hey, look.
I'm just copying you, okay? That's all.
You need to go to your room and stay there until I get home.
No! I've got a thing! Well, you're gonna lose that thing right now if you don't go to your room, okay? Go! You two need to learn to chill.
- What? - What? Room, now! Whatevs, Terry.
I'm going out.
Try not to ruin him any further.
Wear a shorter dress, why don't you?! You know what? Danny and my dad can make each other miserable tonight.
I can't take it.
[Laughter.]
- Darling, are you okay? - Ahh! No! But I'm gonna get there quick.
Just don't let me have more than three drinks, because then I turn into my father.
Bartender! Four more Martinis, please.
- Girls' night has officially begun.
- Well, I'll drink to that.
- That's my drink.
- Uh-huh.
Good evening, ladies.
I'm Josh.
- Oh, gosh, Josh.
- Hmm.
[Chuckles.]
Nice ass, Josh.
Why don't you park it in this seat? - Okay.
- Right there.
Do you have any hot friends, Josh? - Yeah.
- Call 'em.
- All of them.
- All of 'em? - Now.
- Now? Now.
Yeah, yeah, you got to put it to your head.
- So oh, okay.
- Yeah.
[Heavy-metal music plays in distance.]
Hey, kid! Get out here! [Music continues.]
Yo! Kid! [Knock on door.]
[Music continues.]
Oh.
Oh, boy.
Little twerp went out the window.
This is what I have been missing all these years.
Guys! Liquored up.
No inhibitions.
Lying about being professional photographers.
[Laughs.]
Darling, they can hear you.
- It's Terry time! - [Chuckles.]
Yes, it is.
[Clears throat.]
[Glass shatters.]
Oh! I will pay for that! Wait.
No, I won't.
Because I'm hot.
[Laughs.]
[Howls.]
Maybe we should order some food, darling, - Maybe some calamari.
- No, no, no.
It'll just soak up the alcohol.
[Heavy D and the Boyz' "Mr.
Big Stuff" plays.]
Plus, this! - This is my jam.
- It is? Oh, come on.
Let's go! - Let's go.
- Let's go.
Go, go, go! Off we go! Off we go! Go, come on! Go, go, go! I'm Mr.
Big stuff [Cheering.]
oh, yeah [Cellphone rings.]
# I'm a quick rhyme shooter # rap rookie, recruiter I always say could never, ever say could have - Yeah! Come on! - # I'm healthy and stacked, not a beast or all fat # Come on! # I get applause and awards every time I rap # I love the way I am, I would never switch I'm the greatest entertainer since a porno flick [sighs.]
you move and groove to my funky tune party people, it's time to make room - Whoo! - # for your Mr.
Big stuff # [Music stops.]
[Slurring.]
I'm okay! [Howls.]
This is the best I've ever felt in my life.
Dick: Well, give me about 7 1/2 minutes.
Oh, boy.
I'm glad that smell isn't me.
Just saying, Ter.
You on the floor so hot.
[Laughs.]
Did you come here alone, or did your date hang herself? [Laughs.]
I came with Stan, but I'm not leaving with him.
- So I'm cabbing it? - That is correct.
- Cocktails! Platinum.
- Your card's been declined.
It was maxed out on douche elixir, and it has worked.
[Laughs.]
That's so hot.
[Gasps.]
[Giggles.]
So, Lulu, would you like to see my marionettes?! - No.
- That's okay.
Normal reaction.
So, I was thinking, maybe later, we could Oh, good timing, Lulu.
Let's go to another part of the bar where there's less that.
Terry, call me back right away.
[Heavy-metal music playing.]
So, we're all getting tickets to Hatebreed if you want to go.
It's enough to make you go crazy whoa-oh-oh-oh - I-I can't believe it.
- They're not that hard to get.
Uh, you know, look, Danica, you know, I like you all, but my real feelings are for someone else.
- Rusty, don't even start.
- Who's this dork? - Kick his butt, Danny.
- What? - Knock, knock.
- Who's there? it's enough to make you go crazy [Grunting.]
whoa-oh-oh-oh yeah, hey and I'd be crazy not to care Terry Jr.
: [Coughing, gagging.]
[Up-tempo music plays in distance.]
You know, I've never been on this side of vomit before.
Just relax, darling.
Let it all out.
[Toilet flushes.]
Flush those pounds away.
Ugh.
I am so sorry, Lulu.
Were they able to put the fire out? Yes, darling, but that man's toupee is completely ruined.
[Water runs.]
Ugh.
I just really wanted to have some fun.
Oh, I know, darling, and that's fine.
But you can't cram 10 years into one night.
And look, I know you think you missed out on your 20s, and maybe you did.
And so what? May I suggest baby steps? - Thank you, Lulu.
- And I'm not talking metaphorically.
I mean, if you don't actually walk slowly, you're gonna end up in the loo again.
No, no, gosh.
You're fine.
You're fine.
You are absolutely disgusting, but you're fine.
- You're the best.
- Yes, I am.
Off you go.
- I love you.
- There she is.
[Chuckles.]
Wow.
Here.
Put this on your kisser.
[Grunts.]
So, you done now? Yeah.
Look, I get it.
I got smacked back into reality.
The universe has a way of doing that.
And this this bad-boy thing, you got to use it in moderation.
Of course, I should have told you that before you jumped out the window, but you know.
Wait, wait.
Cannon, was this all one of your lessons? - I don't know.
Was it? - Is this right now one of your lessons? You tell me.
I'm just gonna go clean the house.
[Sighs.]
[Door closes.]
[Birds chirping.]
Whose house is this? [music.]
Hey.
What happened to your face? Rusty.
Big kid, big mistake.
Pretty much got what I deserved.
Mom, I'm so sorry, and I promise, I will not mouth off to you again.
Oh, I am so glad to have you back.
Ow! Now, what did you do with my dirty house? Uh, well, the Cannon and I worked it out.
I've got Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
And also, I embarrassed myself in front of Vanessa again.
I guess we're just not meant to be.
Anyways, if I have to pretend to be someone I'm not just to get near her, I think it's the universe trying to tell me something.
- Hmm.
- Anyways, I got to go get ready for school.
I love you, Mom.
[Sighs.]
I love you, too, bud.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You smell like a rug a camel sleeps on.
- It was a rough night.
- Yeah.
Hey, how did you clean this house and transform my son back into this sweet boy I love? Well, uh, you know, just a little co-parenting.
- Hmm.
- It's a gift.
I'm gifted.
So we're figuring this thing out.
Maybe I'll get it a little better this time.
- Hmm.
- And by the way, I told the kid that I would clean up Tuesdays and Thursdays.
And just for a little heads-up it ain't gonna happen! Bye-bye.
[Chuckles.]
- Mwah.
See you at practice.
- I know.
Terry Sr.
: Light it up, Billy.
All right, boys.
Come on, everybody out.
Let's go.
Come on.
Hustle up.
All right.
Time to get back some of our pride.
We're gonna practice our butts off today because, according to that scoreboard over there, you knuckleheads let them get up on you 21-zip.
We are never gonna see that score again.
Let's go.
Let's go! Let's go.
Let's hit it.
Run and put the bats down.
Come on! Come on! Pick it up, Dudley.
Let's go.
Attaboy.
Balanced.
Stay balanced.
All right.
All right, hey.
Hunter, it won't hurt you.
- Ow! - All right, maybe a little.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Come on.
Field that ball like your pants are on fire.
Or not.
[Tab pops.]
Catch it! Catch it! Good eye.
- I'll get it! - I'll get it! I got to get out of here.
Hey, metal head! Throw me one! - I'm not that guy anymore.
- Good.
Now, come on.
Throw me one.
All right, but I'm gonna warn you.
I have been practicing.
[Bat cracks.]
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
What?! Hey, Vanessa.
You ever think of playing?
