Kevin (Probably) Saves the World (2017) s01e13 Episode Script
Fishtail
1 Previously, on "Kevin (Probably) Saves the World" - I'm a messenger from God.
- Oh, good.
I'm here to guide and protect you.
The only job you have in life is to build up your spiritual powers through acts of kindness and selflessness.
God is going to show you how to find the other righteous.
Is this ship called Cayuga?! I don't know if she's right, but I believe in what we're doing.
- I'm sticking with Yvette.
- Your loss, man.
Mind if I join you? - I don't think I'd be good company.
- That's not possible.
Yeah, my lady from Laos, we've been in communicado.
She lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
Even her name sounds Canadian.
Leslie Nielsen.
Someone's pretending to be me.
I knew it! I knew it was you! Well, where is he? He quit! Decided to go to Canada to fight for love.
Kevin! Let's go! You're going to miss your flight! Yeah, I'll be right down! I don't know why you have to come to Canada with me.
I can handle breaking up with Tyler.
Yeah, but not the aftermath.
Someone needs to be there to pick up the pieces.
And why did you pick Victoria? I saw a special about it on the Travel Channel.
They have a beautiful, waterfront market, and I pictured Leslie Nielsen enjoying walks through there.
Quit referring to Leslie as a real person.
Well, it's hard not to, okay? I painted a really vibrant portrait of this woman.
Oh, I land in Canada late this afternoon, but I need you to wait for me before you do anything.
No, no, no, no waiting.
We have to go.
Yeah, absolutely.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Remember, don't pull the trigger until I get there.
Well, I'll be waiting for a while - if you forget your plane ticket.
- Oh! Thanks.
[GASPS.]
You okay? Yeah.
Ye ye yeah.
I'll meet you there.
Okay.
In the valley of the sun I met my only one While rolling down the lovely desert trail DAVE: You sure about that? One more card? New player.
Maybe I was Hi, Dave.
Surprised to see me? Uh, not really.
I was actually waiting for this.
Hm.
For a chance to say, "I'm sorry.
" Even though "sorry" might not be good enough.
You're sorry? And ashamed that I doubted you.
And that I tried to interfere in your work with Kevin.
- Any time you're ready.
- Okay, would you Cool out, you got time.
Yvette, you were right about everything.
I didn't come here to gloat.
[SIGHS.]
I have something to show you.
Sweet muscular McConaughey, is that A cut.
I cut myself on a piece of paper.
[GASPS.]
Is there somewhere else we can talk? Uh Yeah, hold on.
Bust.
Bust.
And bust.
I'm going to need a shift change.
Let's go this way.
Excuse me, have you seen this man? No? His name's Tyler.
[BELL DINGS.]
Hi.
You haven't seen this guy by any chance, have you? Tyler? Um.
Dang it.
[SNIFFLES.]
Oh, no.
I told her to wait.
Hey, buddy.
Hey.
Kev! What are you doing here? I just came to check up on you, and I think I came just at the right time.
Are you okay? Did it all go to hell with Leslie? Oh! [LAUGHS.]
No, man.
I got a fish hook stuck in my hand.
- Oh.
- It's still stuck to the fish.
I thought it was a sign of good luck.
[CHUCKLES.]
And it is! Because the K-train just rolled up! Hey.
Why are you covered in fish scales? Why are we covered in fish scales? I got a job! You got a job? You haven't even been here for a week.
Well, love can't wait.
And this market is Leslie's favorite place.
Oh, really? Yeah, she's bound to come by, and when she does [IMITATES WHOOSHING SOUND.]
Cupid time! That is, uh A plan.
I know everybody back home probably thinks I'm crazy.
But this is right where I'm supposed to be.
I hope you didn't come all this way to try and drag me back.
I just came to be here for you.
No one's dragging anyone any [GRUNTS.]
- Whoa! - Jimbo! Jimbo! Your anchor fell off again! - Oh, man! - [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
I got you, man.
[WIND WHISTLING.]
I've I've been here before.
I don't doubt that for a sec.
You're a worldly S.
O.
B.
No, no, not like that.
You're right, Tyler.
You are exactly where you're supposed to be.
And I am, too.
We thought the themes in "The Crucible" would work perfectly in a dystopian future.
Think "Blade Runner.
" Ooh.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I love it.
And, you know, I totally see how we can work in some of the stuff from the movie.
'Cause "The Crucible" is all about trials, right? Ooh, what if we stage our trials like the interrogations from "Blade Runner"? You know, when they have the machine that looks into the guy's eye and they ask all the questions? The turtle in the desert? Okay, who here has actually seen "Blade Runner"? Show of hands.
The the sequel? Movie trailers don't count.
Guys, if you're going to be influenced by something, it's kind of It's good to have actually seen it, so why don't you give it a watch, come back, I'll re-watch it, too, and then we can just We can discuss, and that will be our homework.
Sound good? All right, I'll see you next week.
Reese, awesome work.
Well, I feel stupid.
It's fine.
We'll just get together and watch the movie.
Hey, this is cool.
The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin is showing a 35-millimeter print of "Blade Runner," Thursday at midnight.
Who's in? - Me.
- I'm in.
- Yes.
- Yes! Okay, perfect.
Did it hurt? A little, I suppose.
Have you licked it? I I have not.
May I lick it? Not if you want your tongue back.
Has anything like this ever happened to you? Up until now, I thought we were impervious.
Is this the first time you've been injured? Yeah, and whatever caused me to be vulnerable is only temporary.
How do you know? [SCREAMS.]
I ran some tests.
That was amazing.
Please don't do that anymore, ever.
I mean, what if whatever happens, happens again.
And what if it's not just a papercut next time.
I [SIGHS.]
I'm freaking out here.
I need help, Dave.
I can't believe you're coming to me for answers.
Why? I I can't go to the others.
They hold me up on a pretty high pedestal.
Any weakness could create panic, but you You see me for who I am.
You have to come back.
Seriously? If I get hurt again, I can't have Kevin out there alone.
- What do you say? I'm back.
- [SIGHS.]
Team Kevin forever.
Great, now One more thing.
You can't tell Kevin any of this.
- Canada? - Yeah, apparently Kevin thinks Tyler is being catfished.
Well, it sounds like a very possible scenario.
I mean, Tyler is super trusting.
You know, I once saw him loan a guy a hamburger.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Yeah, it was good of Kevin to go after him.
Yeah.
It's sweet, right? For him to be so worried about a friend? - Yeah, Kevin's a good egg.
- Mm-hmm.
And I'm trained to judge character.
- Oh, really? - Mmhmm.
How would you judge my character? Caring.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Passionate.
To the point of crazy.
And the smartest person I ever met.
Hm.
You really think I'm the smartest person you ever met? Without a doubt.
[CHUCKLES.]
Same with the other stuff.
[SIGHS.]
Guess we better Call it a night.
Um I mean, we don't have to.
You want to come in for a little while? Yeah.
Yeah, I'd like that.
[BELL DINGS.]
Is business always slow here? Aw, yeah.
But it gives me time to keep an eye out for Leslie.
Oh! And time to learn this! [AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.]
G'day, mate.
- Oh! - I'm Bernard the sea bass.
Put me with some shrimp on the barbie.
[LAUGHS.]
Are sea bass from Australia? [NORMAL ACCENT.]
No idea.
But the few customers we have seem to really love it.
[BELL DINGS.]
These Uh, these customers, are any of them really nice, like, righteous even? Kevin, this is Canada, man.
Everyone here is really sweet.
It's nuts.
- Right.
- Hey, kid.
What did I tell you about playing with the product? Boomerang! You get me every time with that bit, you.
- Gus Alevrofas, Kevin Finn.
- Oh.
Kev's my best bud from back in Texas.
Well, I hope you came to talk some sense into this guy.
I mean, get him to come home.
Cayuga! Um, what is that? What's Cayuga? My boat.
I used to haul most of this stuff in myself.
Well, well, well.
Hello.
[MUSIC SWELLS.]
[MUSIC STOPS.]
Hi.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, they, uh they make them friendly in Texas.
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES.]
Ah! Hey, Tyler.
Talk to me.
How did we do today? Same as yesterday.
Damn it.
I'm about to lose my ass.
Nobody's buying fish these days? Not here.
Not anymore.
When my dad was running this place, there was a butcher on that side, there was a cheesemonger over on this side and my dad's line was double theirs.
What happened to the butcher? Oh, long gone.
All the old places got forced out like they're trying to do to me.
You know, the landlord has to make room for artisanal bread and fancy little knick-knack shops.
Just found out today they're raising my rent again.
Just a matter of time now.
Hey.
Gus, this is the Kevin I was telling you about, the one who helps people.
Maybe he can help you? You want to try a run at my heartless landlord about the rent? Um [AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.]
I'd be happy to, mate! [NORMAL ACCENT.]
It's better when he does it.
REESE: Mom, have you seen my backpack? Never mind, found it.
Nate.
Nate.
- Hm? - You got to get up.
Reese is up.
She's just not ready for me to have slumber parties yet.
[LAUGHS.]
And, even if she is, I am not ready to have a discussion with her about that, so - I need to leave.
- Yeah, you need to leave.
Okay.
[GROANS.]
Got to admit, this isn't exactly how I expected our first time together to end.
Me either, but it doesn't mean it was any less wonderful.
Magical.
Now will you please climb out my window? - [LAUGHS.]
- It's an old house.
There's really creaky floors, and Reese has got ears like a hawk, so My keys.
I left them downstairs.
I put them on the table! - Who does that? - There was a key dish! Um, that's what it's there for, and I'm very glad you used it, but, hm I have an idea.
- Hey! - Good morning! How'd you sleep? - Fine.
- Yeah, I slept great.
Just like a log.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- [SIGHS.]
- Who's that? That's a great question.
Great question.
Nate! It's Nate.
Morning.
Oh, my goodness.
What are you doing here? Well, uh I just, uh, got off my shift, and I felt like making pancakes for some people.
And I figured that since you guys are my favorite people, that I'd come over to To make pancakes for you.
Oh, that was That was a great idea.
Isn't that a great idea? Did you forget to bring the stuff to actually make the pancakes? You know, funny enough, I was so excited that I neglected to stop at the store.
Well, yeah, but you know what? Lucky for you, I've got all of the things to make pancakes in the pantry, so we are good.
- Wow, very lucky.
- Yes, we're very lucky.
So lucky.
Just completely.
So lucky.
I'm, uh just going to leave these here.
Yeah, that's the right tray.
Are you kidding me? I love Gus.
You do? - Sure.
I wasn't always his landlord.
- Oh.
My folks have been here as long as his.
I've known Gus since I was a little girl.
I must have been, like, 8 years old when he gave me my first oyster.
Like, as a pet? To eat.
Oh, right.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, thank you.
Well, if you love Gus so much, why are you jacking up his rent - and trying to push him out of here? - Is that what he told you? Gus says that everything is changing and you want him gone.
Well, he's right.
Everything is changing, so I decided to pivot, focus on specialty foods, local artisans.
That is pretty smart.
And to be honest, I raised Gus's rent by, like, $30 a month, if that.
$30? That's all? He pays way less than everyone else.
I lose money on that stall because I like him.
Hm.
So, okay so this is a hard "no" on the negotiation? If you want to negotiate, start with Gus.
Get him to update his stall a little.
Our customers would love an upscale fish stand.
I guess I can give that a shot, yeah.
Um Oh, do you mind if I take a mint? Oh, please.
Gus shamed me into eating a bunch of raw tuna, and it's a real nightmare in there, breath-wise.
I make myself sick every time I talk.
And those are for everybody, right? Oh, yeah, as many as you want.
[VEHICLE BEEPING.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
How did it go dealing with the man? The man is actually a very nice lady who likes Gus a bunch and wants to keep him around here.
So I don't think she's the problem.
But I got one of these.
I'm good, man.
What's wrong? I really thought I would have seen Leslie at the market by now.
I mean, she's got to get a hankering - for fish at some point.
- [CHUCKLES.]
[AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.]
Right? Ty, what happens if Leslie comes by and it doesn't work out? You know, I mean, like, what if she dumped you? [NORMAL ACCENT.]
That ain't happening, Kev.
I of course, but just theoretically.
Well, obviously, I'd abide by her decision.
A woman's agency must be honored.
That's very mature.
Then I'd collapse into a blubbering heap, go immobile for 7-14 days, you'd have to carry me to the airport, roll me into bed, feed and clothe me for a while.
But then, yeah, I guess I have closure.
And we wouldn't have any unfinished business up here in Canada.
But that's just theoretical talk.
Yeah.
Yeah, just, uh No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're still invisible, aren't you? Mm-hmm.
No, no, no dinner table is complete without the fine foodstuffs that you people are unloading, so Then let's give you guys a hand.
Whoo! Got a second to talk? Really great pancakes, Nate.
- You think so? - Oh, yes.
It's really nice having you over.
Cheers.
Well, maybe we should do this more often.
Totally.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, hey, have you seen "Blade Runner"? A while back, but yeah.
Inspired my love of origami.
Cool.
Well, I need to see it as research for our next play.
We're doing a dystopian, futuristic "Crucible.
" - Hm, sounds very drama club.
- Yeah.
Well, um, they're having a midnight showing of it in Austin, and a bunch of us were going to go see it.
Is that your way of asking permission? You are your friends in Austin at midnight on a school night with no adult supervision? [CHUCKLES.]
Yeah, no thank you.
No.
But it's for school.
Everyone's going.
It's practically a field trip.
Reese, ask your uncle what happened when he snuck out to see "Rocky Horror Picture Show" in Austin.
It was a total disaster.
Mom and Dad were up all night.
They called the cops.
Because it's Kevin! He's always a disaster! Okay, well, you're not You're not wrong there.
But the answer is still no.
No.
Fine.
[CHUCKLES.]
I don't think she even liked my pancakes that much.
Have you gone full insane? No, lots of things have happened, and the plans have changed.
Where the hell have you been, anyway? I [CLEARS THROAT.]
I felt like we needed an outside consultant.
DAVE: Hey, Coach.
I know.
I was a first-class tool, and, um, I don't blame you if you're mad at me, but Welp, here come the waterworks.
Welcome back to the team.
- Okay.
- Yes! Okay, okay, okay.
Can I please go break up with Tyler now? No, no, no.
You can't.
Okay? Not yet.
Tyler is leading us to the next righteous person.
I've seen things here, things from my vision.
I got dragged by a boat.
What does any of that have to do with Tyler? All of it.
We're here because we followed Tyler, but if you break his heart, Tyler goes home, and he can't, because he is at the center of all of this.
We have been leading him on for so long, Kevin.
I know.
I [SIGHS.]
What do you think? Whether you do it today or tomorrow, the guy's still going to be bummed out.
I'm not sure, though.
I don't know.
No way! That's me! That is me making snow angels.
Aww, cute.
[LAUGHS.]
It's just like my vision.
The Universe wants us here.
That it it's sending us a message.
- [GLASS SHATTERS.]
- What? - What are you doing?! - What?! You said there was a message from the Universe in the - No, that's not what you meant.
Okay.
- Dave! All right, I'm sorry.
Apologies all around.
Sorry I'm a little rusty.
Wow.
Get another one.
Surprise.
Hey! I just figured you could use a little pick-me-up.
Oh! And, uh, I don't know.
I just wanted an excuse to see you.
Aw, I like this.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey, so, um, did Reese say anything? Was she on to us? No, not at all.
If you could have seen yourself climbing out of my window, it was so ridiculous.
[LAUGHS.]
I haven't climbed out of a girl's room like that since high school.
It was kind of fun, though.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
We could do it again, um, if you wanted to.
- Really? - Yeah.
- I do.
- You do? - I do.
- Okay, how's tomorrow? Um, I will even let you sneak in.
Okay, okay.
But I can't climb up that drain pipe.
I mean, I almost died on the way down.
Oh, no, no, no, don't worry.
I'll leave a ladder out for you.
I got a bunch of them in the garage.
You have a bunch of ladders? Just the usual ones.
You know, aluminum, fiberglass, steel, platform extension, step, multi-position, and, um oh, I have a little bit of scaffolding.
You're the best.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
You asked permission? I didn't know what else to do.
You sneak out.
I think it's really adorable that you asked your mom, though.
- I'm sorry.
- Girl.
Let's meet at Coolidge Street bus stop at 11:00, and nobody else pull a Reese.
[LAUGHTER.]
It's okay.
So, Gus, after talking to Shea, I was thinking No.
Well, what if we take the stand and No.
Just update it a bit, you know? Still no.
I knew where you were going there.
I don't want to fit in with these fancy new stores.
It's an old fish market.
It will always be an old fish market.
But it was It was new at some point.
Was it? Opening day I haven't changed a thing since my dad and my uncle Angelo bought this place in 19-hundred-and-56.
No, you have not.
I'm not about to modernize it now.
Not gonna happen.
You know, tell you what, fellas.
I'm gonna call it a night.
Tyler, lock up when you go, okay? [AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.]
Ay, captain.
He just doesn't want to be helped.
[NORMAL ACCENT.]
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey, Kevbo, check this out.
You got to have a strong core to toss a fish that big.
Yeah, probably.
Oh.
Heavy.
[LINE RINGING.]
[CELLPHONE RINGS.]
- Hello? - Reese? Hi.
It's your handsome and strong uncle Kevin.
That doesn't sound like any uncle Kevin I know.
Har har.
Sick burn.
I was just calling to tell you guys that I might be in Canada a little longer than I expected.
You're in Canada? Love you, too.
So, how's everything else going there? Not great.
Mom won't let me go to a midnight movie, and it's your fault.
My fault? Yeah, you got caught sneaking out when you were in high school and, basically, ruined Austin for everyone.
Oh.
That.
I totally would have gotten away with it, too, if we hadn't taken the bus like idiots.
The thing stops running at, like, 1:00 A.
M.
Next time I sneak out of the house, I am definitely gonna drive.
Um Ah! Dude, you got to try fish tossing.
So fun.
I'm surprised no one does this anymore.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING IN DISTANCE.]
So you showed yourself to the guy, huh? He's as pure-hearted as they come.
Still, it was a mistake.
I take full responsibility.
If we came here following Tyler and he was following me and that leads us to a righteous person, that means the Universe planned for me to show myself to him.
Yeah.
And for Kevin to make up a fake girlfriend.
And for me to break his heart.
Why Why would hurting Tyler be part of the plan? Because, and please take this with the utmost respect, the Universe can be a real jerk sometimes.
Mornin'.
I know how we're going to help Gus.
You guys might want to limber up a little.
It's going to get weird.
Well, let's get weird.
- Yeah! - Let's do this! Excuse me! Pardon me! What's happening? These fish guys They're putting on a show.
Excuse me.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Aww, all right, Keavy D! All right.
Here she comes! [CROWD "OHH" S.]
[CHEERING.]
[LAUGHS.]
Back at ya! Incoming! [LAUGHS.]
Two mackerels! Two.
All right.
Whoa! Whoa.
Hey, oop.
And now for the big finale.
[CHEERING.]
It's all in the core.
Oh, please.
I'm doing all the work here.
All right.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Okay.
Who wants fish? Tonight, tonight, tonight I'm coming with, but I have a new plan.
- Oh, really? - So I found out the buses stop running at 1:00 A.
M.
so we'll totally get stranded, and then we'll get caught for sure.
So, we're driving instead.
Um, I don't have a car.
I do.
Okay.
- Can I get you anything else? - I just meant to ask There's no way my beautiful Leslie misses me now.
- Thank you.
- There you go.
Just a matter of time before she's drawn to me like a moth to a fish-scented flame.
Yeah, I, uh, can't wait to see her.
Hey, fellas.
It's show time.
All right.
- Oh! - We want a poem! [BELL RINGS.]
- Poem! - All right! Please put your hands together for Gus - Oh - The last of the legendary fishmongers! - [APPLAUSE.]
- WOMAN: Give us a fish, you sexy beast! I see Canada eating the fabulous fish that he fetches.
Canadians chowing down on some fresh, daily catches.
Like the salmon, the flounder, the tiny sardine, the cod, the perch, or the tasty sea bream.
- [APPLAUSE.]
- Gus pickles your herring, shares suggestions for pairing, and does so with caring.
Simply said, if it swims in the sea, he'll provide it for thee with glee provided you bring enough cash.
Because this fish ain't free.
- Hit it.
- Yeah! For goodness' sake I got the hippy hippy shake Yeah, I got the shake I got the hippy hippy shake The hippy hippy shake Well, now you shake it to the left You shake it to the right You do the hippy shake shake with all of your might Oh, baby Yeah, come on shake Whoa, it's in the bag The hippy hippy shake [CHEERING.]
Whoo-hoo-hoo! [CHEERING.]
Well, now, you shake it to the left You shake it to the right - Ah! - Do the hippy hippy shake With all of your - Oh! - Oh, my goodness! [GASPING.]
[CROWD MURMURING.]
Dave? Okay, okay.
Come on, Reese.
Reese, you're cool.
Reese, you got this.
Yeah, okay, okay.
Big one.
Yes.
Okay, key.
Perfect.
If Kevin can do it [LADDER RATTLING.]
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Come here.
[ENGINE REVS.]
No, no, no, no, no.
Stop, stop, stop! Aaah! Aah! Aah! - [GRUNTS.]
- [GASPS.]
Oh, my God! [GROANS.]
Oh, my What were you thinking? What if you had actually driven somewhere! You could have done real harm! I am so sorry.
How is your shoulder? Do you think you might need X-rays? You better hope he doesn't need X-rays.
- I'll be fine.
- I'm so glad.
I am so mad! I'm sorry.
Yeah, well, you have a lot of time to think about it because you are so supremely grounded.
- For how long? - Forever.
Well, my friends already think I'm lame for asking permission so I guess things can't get any worse.
Yeah, well, okay.
You can just march on upstairs now and tell your little friends that you got busted sneaking out of the house because you hit a police officer while stealing my truck.
I have to say all those words? Yes, word for word.
Should I say that he was sneaking into your room? Not those words.
I'm sorry.
That was super-stupid.
Apology accepted.
Are you angry or happy? It's getting hard to track.
I mean, I know what she did was terrible, but [SIGHS.]
she has friends.
Great? Six months ago, she was just cutting herself off completely to everyone.
And, I don't know, look at her now.
And now she's got a bad-ass story to tell all her friends while she's grounded.
Well, I'm glad my bruised ribs could cement your daughter's street cred.
Oh, me too! [GIGGLES.]
- Ow, ow! - Oh, sorry.
- Don't Please, just be gentle.
- Hmm.
When I see you walking, I see heaven What in the world happened to you? Oh, I, um you know, I just got sick of the fishy smell, so I decided to head home.
No, no, no, no, no.
You're hurt.
Hurt? [CHUCKLES.]
Please.
No, my foot's just hot.
You see, I'm icing it back down to its regular temperature, is all.
- But what What's that? - Oh, that's nothing.
- Stand.
- Yeah, that's nothing.
Stand.
[MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY.]
Okay.
See? That? That's not nothing.
Okay, fine.
I was sliding into third in a rec league softball game.
It was the Dealers versus the Cleaning Ladies.
- Happened last week.
- Last week?! All this time, you've been happy as a clam to let me go on thinking I'm the only one getting hurt.
What's wrong with you?! Okay, well I just wanted to help! You would have never let me back on Team Kevin if you knew that I was just as damaged as you are.
Why why is this happening to us? - Well - [SIGHS.]
You know, uh, I have a theory about that, actually.
Look, we've been interacting with human beings ever since we got here, and now we're getting injured, you know, we're feeling pain, we're feeling emotions.
Oh, God, the emotions.
To be blunt, I I think we're becoming more human.
We're also gaining more humanity.
You say that like it's a good thing! It is a good thing! It's because of humanity that you wanted to tell Tyler the truth.
It's because of humanity that we can freely admit to ourselves that we're not perfect.
That's something neither you or I would have ever done before.
Look, Th this place, these people, they've changed us.
That much is true.
But have you considered that maybe that's for the better? [INDISTINCT TALKING.]
TYLER: I ruined poor Gus.
Destroyed his business.
This is completely my fault.
No, it's really not.
It is.
No.
What am I even doing here? I came out, chasing Leslie, and I don't think that's happening either.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Why would anyone even want to be with me, anyway? On the bright side, I'm heading back to Texas, pronto.
Wait.
No.
Um What if you stay here a little while longer? It just feels like someone will show.
You know what? Let's go get a drink, and maybe we can come up with another strategy to find your lady.
- Okay.
- Okay.
[LAUGHS.]
Thanks for being such a good friend.
We need to tell him now.
Um, go get us a table.
I'll be right there.
First round's on me.
[CHUCKLES.]
We're this close to finding another righteous person.
Tyler is our key.
No reason to let all this work go to waste.
He's hurting.
All of this is starting to feel very icky.
This coming from the person who gave me a lesson on how to lie to my sister? Well I've changed.
I'm with her.
Look, we can figure out a way to find the righteous without Tyler.
You guys, you're supposed to help me, not make my job more complicated.
So I'm okay, I'll decide when to tell Tyler the truth about his lady from Laos.
Okay? TYLER: What do you mean? What's the truth about Leslie? So, yeah, um About your lady from Laos.
Um Sh um I'm your lady from Laos.
I don't understand.
I was the one writing to you.
You were pretending to be Leslie? No, no.
There There is no Leslie.
What are you talking about? I-I met her in Laos.
Like But but the e-mails that you were getting weren't from, um, whoever you met.
They were from me.
I made up her name, her life, everything.
- Why? - I-I was trying to let you down as her so you'd have closure, and I'm I'm sorry.
I know how it sounds, but I was doing it to help you.
You were trying to help me? Yeah.
Whoa, look.
Here's the two geniuses.
[CHUCKLES.]
Gus, I I'm so sorry.
I Are you serious? Yeah.
They're shutting you down.
No, no, no.
That's just temporary.
I'm going all-out for the whole performance thing.
Building up the vintage feel, showing people how it used to be.
And, uh, Shea is going to help me get this whole thing together.
Whoa.
[CHUCKLES.]
I have to tell you, you're a godsend.
Oh, I don't know that That's, uh That's a bit much.
No.
I've been trying to get him for years to get him to do anything to save his stall.
I can't thank you enough.
Oh.
[INDISTINCT TALKING.]
That was a great cab ride to my house.
Thank you.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
[SIGHS.]
- Hey! - Hey.
Welcome back.
How did it go? Good, I think.
You think? Last night's a little fuzzy.
Huh.
So good, then? That is two hours of my life I will never get back.
They had to watch "Blade Runner" for school.
- Oh.
- Why are we doing a dystopian future again? Why don't we just do "The Crucible," but in Salem? - I love that idea.
- Um Since you're back, uh, do you think you could watch the kids for a little bit? Sure.
What's going on with you? I'm just going to go break into Nate's house.
- I'll explain later.
- You know what? Don't.
I No, you're not getting it.
It's like the sexy thing.
Stop talking! Well, because it's like, I'm going to break in, but it's, like, a cop-and-robber thing.
Will you please, please, honestly, please I'll throw up all down this hall.
Dave, I thought you'd stay with Shea.
You know, keep the new righteous person safe.
Oh, we decided that Dave is going to stick around here for a while.
Oh, cool.
Why? Yvette and I are working on a new screenplay together.
- No way.
- No, I'm just kidding around.
I'm not really Not into Canada, so we put Wayne up there.
You know, he likes hockey and Drake.
Oh, who doesn't love Drake? He is one of the most talented people on God's green earth and has charisma for days.
- I concur.
He's also naturally funny.
- Effortless.
He's a national treasure like The Rock is for America.
- Ooh! - Right? Don't get me started on The Rock! Okay, okay, everybody loves The Rock! Um Hey, can I just maybe ask you guys a quick question? Um, okay.
I get how our last righteous person was a baby.
Babies are innocent and pure, but, um But what about Shea? I mean, there wasn't really anything special about her.
There isn't anything special about you.
That's harsh, but okay.
Listen, we don't need 36 super heroes.
We need 36 normal people with goodness in their hearts.
Hey, Kevin.
What can I do for you this fine day? [CHUCKLES.]
I I actually I'm not sure, but, um, how about that trip, huh? [CHUCKLES.]
I mean, everything after Gus is It's a bit of a haze for me but, uh, we must have tied one on, right? Like in Laos.
You might have.
I took off right after that.
- Oh, you did? - [LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
After what you did to me, I couldn't stand to look at your face for another second.
Tyler, again, I'm so sorry.
Oh, no, no, no.
Don't apologize.
I'm glad you did what you did.
- [LAUGHS.]
Okay.
- Now I don't have to waste my time with someone who's clearly not my friend At all.
That's not true.
You know what? I'm going to get someone else to take your order.
I'm done here.
- Oh, good.
I'm here to guide and protect you.
The only job you have in life is to build up your spiritual powers through acts of kindness and selflessness.
God is going to show you how to find the other righteous.
Is this ship called Cayuga?! I don't know if she's right, but I believe in what we're doing.
- I'm sticking with Yvette.
- Your loss, man.
Mind if I join you? - I don't think I'd be good company.
- That's not possible.
Yeah, my lady from Laos, we've been in communicado.
She lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
Even her name sounds Canadian.
Leslie Nielsen.
Someone's pretending to be me.
I knew it! I knew it was you! Well, where is he? He quit! Decided to go to Canada to fight for love.
Kevin! Let's go! You're going to miss your flight! Yeah, I'll be right down! I don't know why you have to come to Canada with me.
I can handle breaking up with Tyler.
Yeah, but not the aftermath.
Someone needs to be there to pick up the pieces.
And why did you pick Victoria? I saw a special about it on the Travel Channel.
They have a beautiful, waterfront market, and I pictured Leslie Nielsen enjoying walks through there.
Quit referring to Leslie as a real person.
Well, it's hard not to, okay? I painted a really vibrant portrait of this woman.
Oh, I land in Canada late this afternoon, but I need you to wait for me before you do anything.
No, no, no, no waiting.
We have to go.
Yeah, absolutely.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Remember, don't pull the trigger until I get there.
Well, I'll be waiting for a while - if you forget your plane ticket.
- Oh! Thanks.
[GASPS.]
You okay? Yeah.
Ye ye yeah.
I'll meet you there.
Okay.
In the valley of the sun I met my only one While rolling down the lovely desert trail DAVE: You sure about that? One more card? New player.
Maybe I was Hi, Dave.
Surprised to see me? Uh, not really.
I was actually waiting for this.
Hm.
For a chance to say, "I'm sorry.
" Even though "sorry" might not be good enough.
You're sorry? And ashamed that I doubted you.
And that I tried to interfere in your work with Kevin.
- Any time you're ready.
- Okay, would you Cool out, you got time.
Yvette, you were right about everything.
I didn't come here to gloat.
[SIGHS.]
I have something to show you.
Sweet muscular McConaughey, is that A cut.
I cut myself on a piece of paper.
[GASPS.]
Is there somewhere else we can talk? Uh Yeah, hold on.
Bust.
Bust.
And bust.
I'm going to need a shift change.
Let's go this way.
Excuse me, have you seen this man? No? His name's Tyler.
[BELL DINGS.]
Hi.
You haven't seen this guy by any chance, have you? Tyler? Um.
Dang it.
[SNIFFLES.]
Oh, no.
I told her to wait.
Hey, buddy.
Hey.
Kev! What are you doing here? I just came to check up on you, and I think I came just at the right time.
Are you okay? Did it all go to hell with Leslie? Oh! [LAUGHS.]
No, man.
I got a fish hook stuck in my hand.
- Oh.
- It's still stuck to the fish.
I thought it was a sign of good luck.
[CHUCKLES.]
And it is! Because the K-train just rolled up! Hey.
Why are you covered in fish scales? Why are we covered in fish scales? I got a job! You got a job? You haven't even been here for a week.
Well, love can't wait.
And this market is Leslie's favorite place.
Oh, really? Yeah, she's bound to come by, and when she does [IMITATES WHOOSHING SOUND.]
Cupid time! That is, uh A plan.
I know everybody back home probably thinks I'm crazy.
But this is right where I'm supposed to be.
I hope you didn't come all this way to try and drag me back.
I just came to be here for you.
No one's dragging anyone any [GRUNTS.]
- Whoa! - Jimbo! Jimbo! Your anchor fell off again! - Oh, man! - [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
I got you, man.
[WIND WHISTLING.]
I've I've been here before.
I don't doubt that for a sec.
You're a worldly S.
O.
B.
No, no, not like that.
You're right, Tyler.
You are exactly where you're supposed to be.
And I am, too.
We thought the themes in "The Crucible" would work perfectly in a dystopian future.
Think "Blade Runner.
" Ooh.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I love it.
And, you know, I totally see how we can work in some of the stuff from the movie.
'Cause "The Crucible" is all about trials, right? Ooh, what if we stage our trials like the interrogations from "Blade Runner"? You know, when they have the machine that looks into the guy's eye and they ask all the questions? The turtle in the desert? Okay, who here has actually seen "Blade Runner"? Show of hands.
The the sequel? Movie trailers don't count.
Guys, if you're going to be influenced by something, it's kind of It's good to have actually seen it, so why don't you give it a watch, come back, I'll re-watch it, too, and then we can just We can discuss, and that will be our homework.
Sound good? All right, I'll see you next week.
Reese, awesome work.
Well, I feel stupid.
It's fine.
We'll just get together and watch the movie.
Hey, this is cool.
The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin is showing a 35-millimeter print of "Blade Runner," Thursday at midnight.
Who's in? - Me.
- I'm in.
- Yes.
- Yes! Okay, perfect.
Did it hurt? A little, I suppose.
Have you licked it? I I have not.
May I lick it? Not if you want your tongue back.
Has anything like this ever happened to you? Up until now, I thought we were impervious.
Is this the first time you've been injured? Yeah, and whatever caused me to be vulnerable is only temporary.
How do you know? [SCREAMS.]
I ran some tests.
That was amazing.
Please don't do that anymore, ever.
I mean, what if whatever happens, happens again.
And what if it's not just a papercut next time.
I [SIGHS.]
I'm freaking out here.
I need help, Dave.
I can't believe you're coming to me for answers.
Why? I I can't go to the others.
They hold me up on a pretty high pedestal.
Any weakness could create panic, but you You see me for who I am.
You have to come back.
Seriously? If I get hurt again, I can't have Kevin out there alone.
- What do you say? I'm back.
- [SIGHS.]
Team Kevin forever.
Great, now One more thing.
You can't tell Kevin any of this.
- Canada? - Yeah, apparently Kevin thinks Tyler is being catfished.
Well, it sounds like a very possible scenario.
I mean, Tyler is super trusting.
You know, I once saw him loan a guy a hamburger.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Yeah, it was good of Kevin to go after him.
Yeah.
It's sweet, right? For him to be so worried about a friend? - Yeah, Kevin's a good egg.
- Mm-hmm.
And I'm trained to judge character.
- Oh, really? - Mmhmm.
How would you judge my character? Caring.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Passionate.
To the point of crazy.
And the smartest person I ever met.
Hm.
You really think I'm the smartest person you ever met? Without a doubt.
[CHUCKLES.]
Same with the other stuff.
[SIGHS.]
Guess we better Call it a night.
Um I mean, we don't have to.
You want to come in for a little while? Yeah.
Yeah, I'd like that.
[BELL DINGS.]
Is business always slow here? Aw, yeah.
But it gives me time to keep an eye out for Leslie.
Oh! And time to learn this! [AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.]
G'day, mate.
- Oh! - I'm Bernard the sea bass.
Put me with some shrimp on the barbie.
[LAUGHS.]
Are sea bass from Australia? [NORMAL ACCENT.]
No idea.
But the few customers we have seem to really love it.
[BELL DINGS.]
These Uh, these customers, are any of them really nice, like, righteous even? Kevin, this is Canada, man.
Everyone here is really sweet.
It's nuts.
- Right.
- Hey, kid.
What did I tell you about playing with the product? Boomerang! You get me every time with that bit, you.
- Gus Alevrofas, Kevin Finn.
- Oh.
Kev's my best bud from back in Texas.
Well, I hope you came to talk some sense into this guy.
I mean, get him to come home.
Cayuga! Um, what is that? What's Cayuga? My boat.
I used to haul most of this stuff in myself.
Well, well, well.
Hello.
[MUSIC SWELLS.]
[MUSIC STOPS.]
Hi.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, they, uh they make them friendly in Texas.
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES.]
Ah! Hey, Tyler.
Talk to me.
How did we do today? Same as yesterday.
Damn it.
I'm about to lose my ass.
Nobody's buying fish these days? Not here.
Not anymore.
When my dad was running this place, there was a butcher on that side, there was a cheesemonger over on this side and my dad's line was double theirs.
What happened to the butcher? Oh, long gone.
All the old places got forced out like they're trying to do to me.
You know, the landlord has to make room for artisanal bread and fancy little knick-knack shops.
Just found out today they're raising my rent again.
Just a matter of time now.
Hey.
Gus, this is the Kevin I was telling you about, the one who helps people.
Maybe he can help you? You want to try a run at my heartless landlord about the rent? Um [AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.]
I'd be happy to, mate! [NORMAL ACCENT.]
It's better when he does it.
REESE: Mom, have you seen my backpack? Never mind, found it.
Nate.
Nate.
- Hm? - You got to get up.
Reese is up.
She's just not ready for me to have slumber parties yet.
[LAUGHS.]
And, even if she is, I am not ready to have a discussion with her about that, so - I need to leave.
- Yeah, you need to leave.
Okay.
[GROANS.]
Got to admit, this isn't exactly how I expected our first time together to end.
Me either, but it doesn't mean it was any less wonderful.
Magical.
Now will you please climb out my window? - [LAUGHS.]
- It's an old house.
There's really creaky floors, and Reese has got ears like a hawk, so My keys.
I left them downstairs.
I put them on the table! - Who does that? - There was a key dish! Um, that's what it's there for, and I'm very glad you used it, but, hm I have an idea.
- Hey! - Good morning! How'd you sleep? - Fine.
- Yeah, I slept great.
Just like a log.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- [SIGHS.]
- Who's that? That's a great question.
Great question.
Nate! It's Nate.
Morning.
Oh, my goodness.
What are you doing here? Well, uh I just, uh, got off my shift, and I felt like making pancakes for some people.
And I figured that since you guys are my favorite people, that I'd come over to To make pancakes for you.
Oh, that was That was a great idea.
Isn't that a great idea? Did you forget to bring the stuff to actually make the pancakes? You know, funny enough, I was so excited that I neglected to stop at the store.
Well, yeah, but you know what? Lucky for you, I've got all of the things to make pancakes in the pantry, so we are good.
- Wow, very lucky.
- Yes, we're very lucky.
So lucky.
Just completely.
So lucky.
I'm, uh just going to leave these here.
Yeah, that's the right tray.
Are you kidding me? I love Gus.
You do? - Sure.
I wasn't always his landlord.
- Oh.
My folks have been here as long as his.
I've known Gus since I was a little girl.
I must have been, like, 8 years old when he gave me my first oyster.
Like, as a pet? To eat.
Oh, right.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, thank you.
Well, if you love Gus so much, why are you jacking up his rent - and trying to push him out of here? - Is that what he told you? Gus says that everything is changing and you want him gone.
Well, he's right.
Everything is changing, so I decided to pivot, focus on specialty foods, local artisans.
That is pretty smart.
And to be honest, I raised Gus's rent by, like, $30 a month, if that.
$30? That's all? He pays way less than everyone else.
I lose money on that stall because I like him.
Hm.
So, okay so this is a hard "no" on the negotiation? If you want to negotiate, start with Gus.
Get him to update his stall a little.
Our customers would love an upscale fish stand.
I guess I can give that a shot, yeah.
Um Oh, do you mind if I take a mint? Oh, please.
Gus shamed me into eating a bunch of raw tuna, and it's a real nightmare in there, breath-wise.
I make myself sick every time I talk.
And those are for everybody, right? Oh, yeah, as many as you want.
[VEHICLE BEEPING.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
How did it go dealing with the man? The man is actually a very nice lady who likes Gus a bunch and wants to keep him around here.
So I don't think she's the problem.
But I got one of these.
I'm good, man.
What's wrong? I really thought I would have seen Leslie at the market by now.
I mean, she's got to get a hankering - for fish at some point.
- [CHUCKLES.]
[AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.]
Right? Ty, what happens if Leslie comes by and it doesn't work out? You know, I mean, like, what if she dumped you? [NORMAL ACCENT.]
That ain't happening, Kev.
I of course, but just theoretically.
Well, obviously, I'd abide by her decision.
A woman's agency must be honored.
That's very mature.
Then I'd collapse into a blubbering heap, go immobile for 7-14 days, you'd have to carry me to the airport, roll me into bed, feed and clothe me for a while.
But then, yeah, I guess I have closure.
And we wouldn't have any unfinished business up here in Canada.
But that's just theoretical talk.
Yeah.
Yeah, just, uh No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You're still invisible, aren't you? Mm-hmm.
No, no, no dinner table is complete without the fine foodstuffs that you people are unloading, so Then let's give you guys a hand.
Whoo! Got a second to talk? Really great pancakes, Nate.
- You think so? - Oh, yes.
It's really nice having you over.
Cheers.
Well, maybe we should do this more often.
Totally.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, hey, have you seen "Blade Runner"? A while back, but yeah.
Inspired my love of origami.
Cool.
Well, I need to see it as research for our next play.
We're doing a dystopian, futuristic "Crucible.
" - Hm, sounds very drama club.
- Yeah.
Well, um, they're having a midnight showing of it in Austin, and a bunch of us were going to go see it.
Is that your way of asking permission? You are your friends in Austin at midnight on a school night with no adult supervision? [CHUCKLES.]
Yeah, no thank you.
No.
But it's for school.
Everyone's going.
It's practically a field trip.
Reese, ask your uncle what happened when he snuck out to see "Rocky Horror Picture Show" in Austin.
It was a total disaster.
Mom and Dad were up all night.
They called the cops.
Because it's Kevin! He's always a disaster! Okay, well, you're not You're not wrong there.
But the answer is still no.
No.
Fine.
[CHUCKLES.]
I don't think she even liked my pancakes that much.
Have you gone full insane? No, lots of things have happened, and the plans have changed.
Where the hell have you been, anyway? I [CLEARS THROAT.]
I felt like we needed an outside consultant.
DAVE: Hey, Coach.
I know.
I was a first-class tool, and, um, I don't blame you if you're mad at me, but Welp, here come the waterworks.
Welcome back to the team.
- Okay.
- Yes! Okay, okay, okay.
Can I please go break up with Tyler now? No, no, no.
You can't.
Okay? Not yet.
Tyler is leading us to the next righteous person.
I've seen things here, things from my vision.
I got dragged by a boat.
What does any of that have to do with Tyler? All of it.
We're here because we followed Tyler, but if you break his heart, Tyler goes home, and he can't, because he is at the center of all of this.
We have been leading him on for so long, Kevin.
I know.
I [SIGHS.]
What do you think? Whether you do it today or tomorrow, the guy's still going to be bummed out.
I'm not sure, though.
I don't know.
No way! That's me! That is me making snow angels.
Aww, cute.
[LAUGHS.]
It's just like my vision.
The Universe wants us here.
That it it's sending us a message.
- [GLASS SHATTERS.]
- What? - What are you doing?! - What?! You said there was a message from the Universe in the - No, that's not what you meant.
Okay.
- Dave! All right, I'm sorry.
Apologies all around.
Sorry I'm a little rusty.
Wow.
Get another one.
Surprise.
Hey! I just figured you could use a little pick-me-up.
Oh! And, uh, I don't know.
I just wanted an excuse to see you.
Aw, I like this.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey, so, um, did Reese say anything? Was she on to us? No, not at all.
If you could have seen yourself climbing out of my window, it was so ridiculous.
[LAUGHS.]
I haven't climbed out of a girl's room like that since high school.
It was kind of fun, though.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
We could do it again, um, if you wanted to.
- Really? - Yeah.
- I do.
- You do? - I do.
- Okay, how's tomorrow? Um, I will even let you sneak in.
Okay, okay.
But I can't climb up that drain pipe.
I mean, I almost died on the way down.
Oh, no, no, no, don't worry.
I'll leave a ladder out for you.
I got a bunch of them in the garage.
You have a bunch of ladders? Just the usual ones.
You know, aluminum, fiberglass, steel, platform extension, step, multi-position, and, um oh, I have a little bit of scaffolding.
You're the best.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
You asked permission? I didn't know what else to do.
You sneak out.
I think it's really adorable that you asked your mom, though.
- I'm sorry.
- Girl.
Let's meet at Coolidge Street bus stop at 11:00, and nobody else pull a Reese.
[LAUGHTER.]
It's okay.
So, Gus, after talking to Shea, I was thinking No.
Well, what if we take the stand and No.
Just update it a bit, you know? Still no.
I knew where you were going there.
I don't want to fit in with these fancy new stores.
It's an old fish market.
It will always be an old fish market.
But it was It was new at some point.
Was it? Opening day I haven't changed a thing since my dad and my uncle Angelo bought this place in 19-hundred-and-56.
No, you have not.
I'm not about to modernize it now.
Not gonna happen.
You know, tell you what, fellas.
I'm gonna call it a night.
Tyler, lock up when you go, okay? [AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.]
Ay, captain.
He just doesn't want to be helped.
[NORMAL ACCENT.]
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey, Kevbo, check this out.
You got to have a strong core to toss a fish that big.
Yeah, probably.
Oh.
Heavy.
[LINE RINGING.]
[CELLPHONE RINGS.]
- Hello? - Reese? Hi.
It's your handsome and strong uncle Kevin.
That doesn't sound like any uncle Kevin I know.
Har har.
Sick burn.
I was just calling to tell you guys that I might be in Canada a little longer than I expected.
You're in Canada? Love you, too.
So, how's everything else going there? Not great.
Mom won't let me go to a midnight movie, and it's your fault.
My fault? Yeah, you got caught sneaking out when you were in high school and, basically, ruined Austin for everyone.
Oh.
That.
I totally would have gotten away with it, too, if we hadn't taken the bus like idiots.
The thing stops running at, like, 1:00 A.
M.
Next time I sneak out of the house, I am definitely gonna drive.
Um Ah! Dude, you got to try fish tossing.
So fun.
I'm surprised no one does this anymore.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING IN DISTANCE.]
So you showed yourself to the guy, huh? He's as pure-hearted as they come.
Still, it was a mistake.
I take full responsibility.
If we came here following Tyler and he was following me and that leads us to a righteous person, that means the Universe planned for me to show myself to him.
Yeah.
And for Kevin to make up a fake girlfriend.
And for me to break his heart.
Why Why would hurting Tyler be part of the plan? Because, and please take this with the utmost respect, the Universe can be a real jerk sometimes.
Mornin'.
I know how we're going to help Gus.
You guys might want to limber up a little.
It's going to get weird.
Well, let's get weird.
- Yeah! - Let's do this! Excuse me! Pardon me! What's happening? These fish guys They're putting on a show.
Excuse me.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Aww, all right, Keavy D! All right.
Here she comes! [CROWD "OHH" S.]
[CHEERING.]
[LAUGHS.]
Back at ya! Incoming! [LAUGHS.]
Two mackerels! Two.
All right.
Whoa! Whoa.
Hey, oop.
And now for the big finale.
[CHEERING.]
It's all in the core.
Oh, please.
I'm doing all the work here.
All right.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Okay.
Who wants fish? Tonight, tonight, tonight I'm coming with, but I have a new plan.
- Oh, really? - So I found out the buses stop running at 1:00 A.
M.
so we'll totally get stranded, and then we'll get caught for sure.
So, we're driving instead.
Um, I don't have a car.
I do.
Okay.
- Can I get you anything else? - I just meant to ask There's no way my beautiful Leslie misses me now.
- Thank you.
- There you go.
Just a matter of time before she's drawn to me like a moth to a fish-scented flame.
Yeah, I, uh, can't wait to see her.
Hey, fellas.
It's show time.
All right.
- Oh! - We want a poem! [BELL RINGS.]
- Poem! - All right! Please put your hands together for Gus - Oh - The last of the legendary fishmongers! - [APPLAUSE.]
- WOMAN: Give us a fish, you sexy beast! I see Canada eating the fabulous fish that he fetches.
Canadians chowing down on some fresh, daily catches.
Like the salmon, the flounder, the tiny sardine, the cod, the perch, or the tasty sea bream.
- [APPLAUSE.]
- Gus pickles your herring, shares suggestions for pairing, and does so with caring.
Simply said, if it swims in the sea, he'll provide it for thee with glee provided you bring enough cash.
Because this fish ain't free.
- Hit it.

[ENGINE REVS.]
No, no, no, no, no.
Stop, stop, stop! Aaah! Aah! Aah! - [GRUNTS.]
- [GASPS.]
Oh, my God! [GROANS.]
Oh, my What were you thinking? What if you had actually driven somewhere! You could have done real harm! I am so sorry.
How is your shoulder? Do you think you might need X-rays? You better hope he doesn't need X-rays.
- I'll be fine.
- I'm so glad.
I am so mad! I'm sorry.
Yeah, well, you have a lot of time to think about it because you are so supremely grounded.
- For how long? - Forever.
Well, my friends already think I'm lame for asking permission so I guess things can't get any worse.
Yeah, well, okay.
You can just march on upstairs now and tell your little friends that you got busted sneaking out of the house because you hit a police officer while stealing my truck.
I have to say all those words? Yes, word for word.
Should I say that he was sneaking into your room? Not those words.
I'm sorry.
That was super-stupid.
Apology accepted.
Are you angry or happy? It's getting hard to track.
I mean, I know what she did was terrible, but [SIGHS.]
she has friends.
Great? Six months ago, she was just cutting herself off completely to everyone.
And, I don't know, look at her now.
And now she's got a bad-ass story to tell all her friends while she's grounded.
Well, I'm glad my bruised ribs could cement your daughter's street cred.
Oh, me too! [GIGGLES.]
- Ow, ow! - Oh, sorry.
- Don't Please, just be gentle.
- Hmm.
When I see you walking, I see heaven What in the world happened to you? Oh, I, um you know, I just got sick of the fishy smell, so I decided to head home.
No, no, no, no, no.
You're hurt.
Hurt? [CHUCKLES.]
Please.
No, my foot's just hot.
You see, I'm icing it back down to its regular temperature, is all.
- But what What's that? - Oh, that's nothing.
- Stand.
- Yeah, that's nothing.
Stand.
[MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY.]
Okay.
See? That? That's not nothing.
Okay, fine.
I was sliding into third in a rec league softball game.
It was the Dealers versus the Cleaning Ladies.
- Happened last week.
- Last week?! All this time, you've been happy as a clam to let me go on thinking I'm the only one getting hurt.
What's wrong with you?! Okay, well I just wanted to help! You would have never let me back on Team Kevin if you knew that I was just as damaged as you are.
Why why is this happening to us? - Well - [SIGHS.]
You know, uh, I have a theory about that, actually.
Look, we've been interacting with human beings ever since we got here, and now we're getting injured, you know, we're feeling pain, we're feeling emotions.
Oh, God, the emotions.
To be blunt, I I think we're becoming more human.
We're also gaining more humanity.
You say that like it's a good thing! It is a good thing! It's because of humanity that you wanted to tell Tyler the truth.
It's because of humanity that we can freely admit to ourselves that we're not perfect.
That's something neither you or I would have ever done before.
Look, Th this place, these people, they've changed us.
That much is true.
But have you considered that maybe that's for the better? [INDISTINCT TALKING.]
TYLER: I ruined poor Gus.
Destroyed his business.
This is completely my fault.
No, it's really not.
It is.
No.
What am I even doing here? I came out, chasing Leslie, and I don't think that's happening either.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Why would anyone even want to be with me, anyway? On the bright side, I'm heading back to Texas, pronto.
Wait.
No.
Um What if you stay here a little while longer? It just feels like someone will show.
You know what? Let's go get a drink, and maybe we can come up with another strategy to find your lady.
- Okay.
- Okay.
[LAUGHS.]
Thanks for being such a good friend.
We need to tell him now.
Um, go get us a table.
I'll be right there.
First round's on me.
[CHUCKLES.]
We're this close to finding another righteous person.
Tyler is our key.
No reason to let all this work go to waste.
He's hurting.
All of this is starting to feel very icky.
This coming from the person who gave me a lesson on how to lie to my sister? Well I've changed.
I'm with her.
Look, we can figure out a way to find the righteous without Tyler.
You guys, you're supposed to help me, not make my job more complicated.
So I'm okay, I'll decide when to tell Tyler the truth about his lady from Laos.
Okay? TYLER: What do you mean? What's the truth about Leslie? So, yeah, um About your lady from Laos.
Um Sh um I'm your lady from Laos.
I don't understand.
I was the one writing to you.
You were pretending to be Leslie? No, no.
There There is no Leslie.
What are you talking about? I-I met her in Laos.
Like But but the e-mails that you were getting weren't from, um, whoever you met.
They were from me.
I made up her name, her life, everything.
- Why? - I-I was trying to let you down as her so you'd have closure, and I'm I'm sorry.
I know how it sounds, but I was doing it to help you.
You were trying to help me? Yeah.
Whoa, look.
Here's the two geniuses.
[CHUCKLES.]
Gus, I I'm so sorry.
I Are you serious? Yeah.
They're shutting you down.
No, no, no.
That's just temporary.
I'm going all-out for the whole performance thing.
Building up the vintage feel, showing people how it used to be.
And, uh, Shea is going to help me get this whole thing together.
Whoa.
[CHUCKLES.]
I have to tell you, you're a godsend.
Oh, I don't know that That's, uh That's a bit much.
No.
I've been trying to get him for years to get him to do anything to save his stall.
I can't thank you enough.
Oh.
[INDISTINCT TALKING.]
That was a great cab ride to my house.
Thank you.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
[SIGHS.]
- Hey! - Hey.
Welcome back.
How did it go? Good, I think.
You think? Last night's a little fuzzy.
Huh.
So good, then? That is two hours of my life I will never get back.
They had to watch "Blade Runner" for school.
- Oh.
- Why are we doing a dystopian future again? Why don't we just do "The Crucible," but in Salem? - I love that idea.
- Um Since you're back, uh, do you think you could watch the kids for a little bit? Sure.
What's going on with you? I'm just going to go break into Nate's house.
- I'll explain later.
- You know what? Don't.
I No, you're not getting it.
It's like the sexy thing.
Stop talking! Well, because it's like, I'm going to break in, but it's, like, a cop-and-robber thing.
Will you please, please, honestly, please I'll throw up all down this hall.
Dave, I thought you'd stay with Shea.
You know, keep the new righteous person safe.
Oh, we decided that Dave is going to stick around here for a while.
Oh, cool.
Why? Yvette and I are working on a new screenplay together.
- No way.
- No, I'm just kidding around.
I'm not really Not into Canada, so we put Wayne up there.
You know, he likes hockey and Drake.
Oh, who doesn't love Drake? He is one of the most talented people on God's green earth and has charisma for days.
- I concur.
He's also naturally funny.
- Effortless.
He's a national treasure like The Rock is for America.
- Ooh! - Right? Don't get me started on The Rock! Okay, okay, everybody loves The Rock! Um Hey, can I just maybe ask you guys a quick question? Um, okay.
I get how our last righteous person was a baby.
Babies are innocent and pure, but, um But what about Shea? I mean, there wasn't really anything special about her.
There isn't anything special about you.
That's harsh, but okay.
Listen, we don't need 36 super heroes.
We need 36 normal people with goodness in their hearts.
Hey, Kevin.
What can I do for you this fine day? [CHUCKLES.]
I I actually I'm not sure, but, um, how about that trip, huh? [CHUCKLES.]
I mean, everything after Gus is It's a bit of a haze for me but, uh, we must have tied one on, right? Like in Laos.
You might have.
I took off right after that.
- Oh, you did? - [LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
After what you did to me, I couldn't stand to look at your face for another second.
Tyler, again, I'm so sorry.
Oh, no, no, no.
Don't apologize.
I'm glad you did what you did.
- [LAUGHS.]
Okay.
- Now I don't have to waste my time with someone who's clearly not my friend At all.
That's not true.
You know what? I'm going to get someone else to take your order.
I'm done here.
