Kevin Can Wait (2016) s01e18 Episode Script

1 Hey.
Just ask him.
No, I don't want to bother him.
Ask him! Fine.
Mr.
Gable, uh, if you're going to Enzo's tonight, perhaps I could join you for a pint.
Why would we do that? Come on, Dad.
It'll be nice.
And you never hang out with Chale.
We're hanging out right now! We're We're awkward kitchen buddies.
It's kind of like our thing, right? Absolutely.
What we've got works for us, right, Mr.
Gable? Mm-hmm.
Why do you always set me up for failure? Hey, I just set you up.
The fail part was all you.
Hey, honey, no one's going to Enzo's today.
Remember My cousin Irene is coming, and you said you'd entertain Stuart while we catch up.
[Sighing.]
Ohhh.
That's right Stuart Borington.
Don't tell me they're staying the night.
I won't.
They're staying three nights.
But we do a catch a break during the day because he's got a convention in the city.
No, I I can't do it! The guy's brutal, all right? He sucks the life out of you.
His stories are pointless, and on top of that he keeps a journal.
A lot of people keep a journal.
A dream journal.
Still, it's not so bad.
And he tells you about them.
Yes, okay, he's a little bit rough, but he's nowhere near as bad as your Uncle Lou.
Uncle Lou? That man is a saint.
Okay, that man is over three bills and walked around our backyard in a Speedo.
That wasn't a Speedo.
They were regular shorts.
It's just, once he starts walking, everything turns into a Speedo.
It gets sucked up into the vortex.
[Knock at door.]
Oh.
Rootger's here.
- Come in! - From next door? No Rutger Hauer, star of "Blade Runner.
" Hi.
Good morning, friends.
I, uh, hate to pee-pee in your Corn Flakes this early in the morning, but look what I find.
- Are you kidding me?! - Yeah.
I just made that Jets mailbox.
What kind of animal would do this? The kind that wants to up property values in the neighborhood? Too soon, Donna.
Too soon.
Well, we should call the police.
Oh, yeah, hey, that's a good idea.
"Hey, uh, could you get me the police?" "Uh, sir, you are the police.
" "That's right.
I keep forgetting.
"My wife makes me call" Okay, all right, honey.
Uh, you're retired.
You're not the police anymore.
Do you want me to call them back? 'Cause I'll call them back.
I have the number, all right? What are we gonna do? We got to do something about this, 'cause whoever did this thinks they got away with it.
There's just gonna go for it again.
You know what? I'm gonna call the guys.
We're gonna set up like a neighborhood watch.
I want in.
Criminals They're like those, uh, bugs that come into your house.
Now, what do you call them? Um In Holland, we call them kakkerlakken.
- Kakkerlakken? - Yeah, kakkerlakken.
They come in, and they go [Imitates skittering.]
Oh, like termites? No.
No, no, no.
[Scoffs.]
[Imitates skittering.]
Crickets.
He's talking about crickets.
No crickets, no crickets.
It's kakkerlakken.
You know, they Kakkerlakken.
Oh, okay.
Kakkerlakken.
- Kakkerlakken! - Oh, kakkerlakken! - Kakkerlakken! - Right! - Oh, yeah, we have those, too.
- Okay, yeah.
- All right.
- I'll see you tonight.
- Okay.
- All right! Okay, but not tonight Stuart.
Don't worry, sweetheart.
It's not gonna take long.
I promise.
And then tomorrow night, I will be back and I will hang out with Stuart Borington.
Stop calling him that, because you say it like a joke, and it's gonna slip out when he's here.
I mean, do I need to remind you about that wonderful Thanksgiving we spent with my Aunt Skanky? She's 72 and she's wearing a tube top.
She earned that nickname.
I am not your ordinary guy So, I'm riding through this castle on the back of a velvet camel, but we're moving super-slow because the floors are made of yogurt.
Wow.
That is quite the dream right there.
You know what It's actually time for me to get on my velvet camel, 'cause I got to go out and fight some crime.
Uh, we have a little problem in the neighborhood.
Oh, that's terrible! You know, our neighbors were making methamphetamine.
- What?! - Yes.
The FBI came, there were helicopters, this big shootout.
A couple people died! So, what's going on here? It's kind of a, uh, it's a mailbox situation.
But, I mean, crime's crime, right? I mean, so All right, uh, I'll see you guys later, then.
Oh, no.
One sec, Kev.
Before you leave, I kind of wanted to tell you about our luggage fiasco at the airport.
Whoop! That's my phone vibrating.
- That's a call to action right there.
- Okay.
- It's on the table, honey.
- Yep.
Saw it moving.
Hey! Chale.
Uh, this is Stuart.
He's got a great story for you about luggage.
Oh.
And you know what? This is a great time to show you the bathroom we wanted to remodel.
Great! Do you keep a dream journal? Man, these goggles are unbelievable! I have the vision of a barn owl.
All right, so, what's the plan here? Should we split into teams? No, no, no, no.
If they see us, we'll scare them off, all right? I've set up the new mailbox.
Now we just got to wait for the kakkerlakken to take the bait.
Then we stomp them.
[Laughs.]
I like it! [Imitates skittering.]
- And dead.
- Mm-hmm.
[Siren wails.]
Is that Dawson? Gable? What are you guys doing? Just talking.
Sorry.
Is that a problem? It is when I get a complaint about four creepy guys sitting in a car with binoculars.
Night-vision goggles.
And I can see your tonsils.
[Chuckling.]
Wait.
Are you guys on, like, some sort of stakeout? - [Inhales deeply, exhales.]
- That is adorable.
Somebody trashed my mailbox last night, all right? We didn't want to bother you guys with it, so we thought we'd handle it ourselves.
Man, I heard about the retired guys missing the action, but this is sad.
Why don't you guys go get, like, a hobby or something? I used to play pinochle on Fridays.
Guys, let's keep the weirdness to a minimum.
Okay.
10-91.
It's all clear.
Just four old guys sitting in a car.
Come on, he's right.
This is ridiculous! Yeah, if we're looking for a guy, - let's go out and look for him.
- Yeah! Whoa, whoa.
Hold some phones.
Here comes a kid on a bike.
Is that a golf club? That's our guy.
Let's go! Whoa, whoa, wait.
Let's just take a minute, all right? What do you mean? Let's kick him off the bike, hold him down till we get some answers.
- I like Rootger.
- Yeah, let's move.
Wait, wait, wait! Guys, guys, it's not him.
How do you know? Because it was me.
What? You trashed your own mailbox? I did.
Honestly this is a twist I did not see coming.
So, you knock down your own mailbox and start up a neighborhood watch to avoid hanging out with Donna's annoying relatives? All right.
We're caught up You're sick.
Sick or brilliant? For a 30 buck mailbox, I came up with the greatest escape plan ever.
Great for you, but why do we have to be out in the cold? 'Cause you're part of the illusion.
Oh, yeah, well, here's an illusion for you.
Keep thinking I'm in your back seat, 'cause I'm leaving! Yeah, I could be in the comfort of my own home.
Oh, really? How comfortable are you gonna be when Didi makes you give her a two-hour foot rub? Not cool! I told you that in private! She has circulation issues! You know this! So, you do want to be there or you don't want to be there? Now, I'm confused! - I don't want to be there! - Okay! Everybody stop your babies crying.
I can fix this.
Now, this is how you do a stakeout.
- Fake stakeout.
- Yeah.
Wow, man, this is a sweet R.
V.
Where'd you get this thing? You know that game show "The Price is Right"? You were on that? No, no, no, my brother's best friend, Dennis, was.
Long story short couldn't pay the taxes, got deported, dang dang dang, bada bing, bada boom Well, here we are.
Look at this! You got beer, vodka you got everything! Well, you know what they say "Go home or go big," right? [Chuckles.]
Actually, I think it's "Go big or go home.
" I don't think so.
You're probably right, you're probably right, yeah.
All right, boys, who wants a cold one? - Hit me up! - Yeah! Got to admit, Rootger, this place is pretty cool.
Pretty cool? I'll tell you what's cool.
35 speakers and a subwoofer in the couch.
[Electronic music plays.]
Whoa-ho! Whoa! Yeah! [Laughter.]
- Donna: Hey! - Hey.
How'd it go out there? Any luck? Uh, no.
Um, we thought we caught the guy, but it turned out it was just a possum eating fish sticks out of the garbage can.
Oh.
We'll get them, uh, tomorrow.
Tomorrow? No! Honey, tomorrow, Irene and I are having girls night, and you're supposed to take Stuart off our hands.
Okay, I'll do it.
Okay, look, I know that it's painful, Honey.
But I Take "yes" for an answer, hmm? - Right.
Okay.
- All right? - Thank you.
- Okay.
Thank you.
Let's go to bed.
Okay.
I will be right up.
I'm, uh, gonna get a water.
- Do you need anything, or? - Oh, no, I'm good.
- Okay, good.
- I'll see you.
[Clanking.]
Hey.
Chale, I-I need to ask you a favor.
I can't sit with Stuart anymore.
He's insufferable.
This favor will make it so we never have to see Stuart again.
- Whatever it is, I want in.
- Good.
There's a sledgehammer in the shed Oh, Mr.
Gable, I can't! That is too far! I don't want you to hurt him.
I just want you to knock down the new mailbox.
Why? So tomorrow night, we can be back on patrol, far away from the dream-weaver.
Brilliant! Mm.
But what if I get caught? You won't, because you're smart and you're sneaky.
I mean, look how long you've lived here, and I I've barely noticed you, right? - That's true.
- Yes.
- [Chuckles.]
- All right.
- Hey! - Hey! - Kevin! - Hey! Honey, you're not gonna believe this.
They got us again! Are you kidding me?! You You turn your head for one second Yeah, and not only that, but someone put a giant bag of garbage on your front stoop.
Oh, actually, that was me.
I'm sorry.
I forgot to take it out.
I totally Maybe you and the guys should go back out there.
No! You guys got your girls night out! Well, we'll figure it out.
All right, I got to call the guys, tell them we're back on, I guess.
And that's when the guy said, "That's not my gate.
" - [Laughing.]
No, he didn't! - He said, "That's not my gate.
" Ooh! Nachos are ready, guys.
[Cheering.]
Up next Mini egg rolls.

Am I right? Yes, you are.
All right.
Hey, so, how many mailboxes did you go through? Uh, just the two.
I destroyed the first one.
Chale got the second.
Hey! Way to step up, Chale.
You're all right, man.
Thank you.
And, uh, I am very grateful to Mr.
Gable for having the confidence in me to let me join his crime spree.
Ooh! Can you set my garbage pails on fire? My mother has a mah-jongg group coming over on the 18th.
Actually, that week is a bit of a bear for me, but, uh, I can juggle.
[Laughter.]
I need you the beginning of May.
Didi's mother's turning 90.
She wants a bounce house.
She's pretty much cottage cheese up there now.
Okay.

- Yeah, to Kev.
Huh? - The mastermind.
No, to freedom, huh? All: Freedom! And to me, the mastermind! Ha! So, this is our wheaten terrier.

As long as you guys pay for the car window and tires.

The fence? - It's a long story.

Either way, you have our thanks.
[Knock on door.]
Guess who missed their flight! But good news.
I got a couple hours to tell you a whale of a story.
First of all, Irene is in tears.
I'm saying to her, "Irene, what? Is it the dog?" Is it the cat? We don't even have a cat.
" See, I'm trying to make her laugh.
I'm getting out.
She's not laughing.
I said to her, "Listen to me.
We have options.
" We have money.
I don't have a great job.
I've got a good job.
I can afford another flight.
Next thing I know, I might not be able to get another flight.
Turns out there are weather conditions that one is not always "in control of.
" I do remember thinking to myself there was one time where I was considering being a pilot myself.
That way, I wouldn't have to be dependent on other people.
Chances are it's something I could do That way, I wouldn't have to be dependent on other people.
