Dice (2016) s02e01 Episode Script

1 - [Laughter.]
- Oh! Good night.
God bless.
Thank you.
[Cheers, Applause, Chanting.]
[Indistinct Conversations.]
- [Exhales Deeply.]
- How you doing, man? Fucking exhausted, that's how I'm doing.
Yeah.
Well, I got some good news.
Pretty good month, Dice, okay? 25 shows at 10 grand a pop, minus the monthly payment to us, minus the compound interest, minus the requests in your rider, so we're talking about the Skittles, the combos, - the sparkling waters.
- Wait, wait, whoa.
Brioni, you're gonna charge me for water? I'm not, but the new owner of the casino is Latvian.
Every single penny must be accounted for.
So we tally it all up, and you owe us $7.
83.
$7.
83? What, are you fucking kidding me? I do 25 shows, I still owe you money? This fucking contract is killing me.
You understand? I'm not the one who's paying off my gambling debts, Dice.
Brioni, they got me bent over backwards on a barrel with my balls in a bunch.
What am I gonna do here? Actually, I think it would be bent forward - over a barrel.
- No.
And I don't think the balls were factored in.
Listen, don't goof on me.
This is bullshit.
All right.
Look, I'll do you a solid, okay? I'll I'll waive the $7.
83.
Ah, you think you're going to have something over me? I-I pay my debts.
I'm not gonna walk around a casino and you're going, "Hey, guess who owes me $7.
83?" Or whatever the fuck.
You got change of $10? I don't even give a fuck.
Here you go.
You get a pass on this one.
Oh! [Audience Chanting.]
Dice, Dice, Dice, Dice, Dice, Dice! Top of the world, Ma.
[Implosion.]
You know what the dumbest thing is? That theater's got so much foot traffic, if that Latvian guy had any sense, he'd close the theater, you open up one of those, like, modern restaurants where you see, like, through the glass, And you see them cooking, and Oh, you look nice.
Where are you going, like, for a bank loan or somethin'? Milkshake's nephew's bar mitzvah's in 40 minutes.
Bar mitzvah's on Saturday, not Wednesday.
It is fucking Saturday, Andrew.
Jeez, why didn't you remind me? Eight minutes, I'm gonna take a speed shower.
Speed shower, 8 minutes.
I get it.
Lesson learned, baby.
Okay, and what was that lesson? I don't know.
I got to remind you to remind me about things in advance.
Did you get the kid a gift? Did I get your best friend's nephew a gift? - No.
I didn't.
- Don't worry.
There's a Bed Bath & Beyond up here somewhere.
The kid's 13.
What are you going to get him, a fucking blender? Give it to me, bring it to me Where is he? Where is he? There he is.
Where have you been? I'm all I'm all alone out here.
Carmen forgot to remind me.
- Jesus, Carmen.
- Okay, sorry.
Let me remind you you're both morons.
Carm, what are you doing? Come on, eat something.
I rented out this condo to this guy, and he lied on his application.
Now the whole deal's falling through.
You're stressing out over some Airbnb money? Who cares? - I care, Andrew.
- All right, all right.
Listen.
All right, I'm sorry, okay? You know what else I figured out? What? The lesson you were trying to teach me.
Oh, yeah? What was the lesson? Marathon sex.
We haven't had marathon sex.
That's why you can't remind me about things like bar mitzvahs 'cause you're thinking about marathon sex.
So from now on I'm gonna pump you like Like you're a car at a gas station.
Wow, you really did learn a lesson.
Say, Daddy boy.
Hey.
Sorry we're late.
- Oh, it's all right.
- We were over at band practice.
You don't got to apologize about that.
Say hello to Milkshake, say hello to bar mitzvah boy.
- I'll see you in a little.
- Okay.

- It's going to be a hot club.
- Yeah, I know.

I can't believe it.
Rabbi Marshack's here.

This guy loves me.
Andy, Andy, Andy! Well, it's Andrew, but yeah, it's me.
I remember when you were a child running down Nostrand Avenue handing out candy to the smaller children and fetching cigarettes for the older ones who were too old to go out and buy them themselves.
You were such a nice boy.
- Oh, thank you.
- A real mensch.
Oh, thank you.
I appreciate that.
So? What happened? How did you turn into such a shegetz? What did you say? A shegetz? This Dice that you created is abomination that you birthed into the world, for shame! Wait a minute, Rabbi, I thought we were friends.
Mm.
We were, until you birthed unto the world this horrible Diceman.
This This golem that you continue to nourish with a steady diet of vulgarity and obscenity! A curse on you! Hey, look, I-I might not be everybody's cup of tea, - but I'm not shegetz.
- You're a shegetz.
- Shegetz! - Listen to me.
No, you listen to me, shegetz.
What I'm saying is this The world would be a better place if Andrew Dice Clay had never been born! [Thunderclaps.]

Come on, let's go.
We're late.
I got that dinner with Maydel Fabrics.
I don't know if I'm really up to it.
Listen, listen.
Please just try to keep it together.
People's livelihoods are at stake.
Okay? I love you, Andy Dandy.
And I love you, Rog.
Let's get out of here.
Well I want to thank you guys for this terrific dinner.
I just wish we had better news, but we at Maydel Fabrics are going to be buying from a company in India.
Well, that's why we're here to, uh, change your mind, right? Roger, our mind's made up.
They do it for less, and it's it's just numbers.
But we have people that are relying on this account.
Roger, please, come on.
Don't Don't embarrass yourself.
Yeah, don't embarrass yourself, Roger.
He's already made up his mind.
Who Who are you again? I'm Martin Levine.
I'm the account manager.
No, I didn't ask what you do.
I asked who you are because to me, you seem like a go-getter.
I mean, you dress beautiful.
Swedish knit, gabardine, whatever.
Nice.
Good fabrics, right? You're the type of guy, you'd take out a girl, nicest restaurant, best wine.
You listen to every word.
You're not on your phone every second.
And why is that? Because you want her to open up that little fuzzy little prize she's been sitting on, right? And she's gonna do that for you because you've given her the best of everything.
You want to go to India? What, are you out of your fucking mind? That's like going to Chinatown and buying a purse that's a Prada knockoff.
So it's up to you.
You want to buy some Indian fucking fabric? You buy that Indian fabric.
You want to get serious, you come talk to us.
That's all.
Aah! Holy smokes.
What was that? I mean, look, if we don't press charges, we get to keep the account.
I mean, new strategy, very unorthodox, but it worked! Thanks for taking one for the team, Andy.
You think that worked? Rog, I'm I'm having some kind of psychotic breakdown.
Oh, no, no, no.
Relax, Andy.
You've got it all.
You're married 35 years, okay.
You have a secure job you go to every day.
You're going to collect a pension when you retire.
You're living the dream! Dream? This is a fucking nightmare.
Carmen.
Carmen.
Are you fucking kidding me right now? Please, just listen to me.
What part of mace in the face do you not understand? You were with me in another lifetime.
- You've got to believe me.
- Okay, you know what? This time I'm gonna really use this.
Take it easy, would you, please? Let me explain this.
Let me explain You've got to wear socks when you sleep.
You love cats, but you're allergic.
And when I eat you out, I got to go counterclockwise and you got to be listening to Kool & the Gang's "Wild and Peaceful" or you can't bust a nut! [Slot Machines Dinging.]
Let me get a Grey Goose on the rocks and Chivas, neat.
[Exhales.]
Okay, I'm not saying that I believe you, but some of the things you're saying are really spot on.
And in other news, President Hillary Clinton may have just brought on world peace.
The first female President gave an eloquent and thoughtful speech at the United Nations today.
- Such a relief she won, right? - Yeah.
Hey, Andy, heard you killed at the Maydel dinner.
- You're the best.
- So popular.
Yeah, I'm supposedly this big shot in the haberdashery business.
- Haberdashery? - Shoot me, okay? So let me ask you somethin'.
- Are we happy? - What do you mean? Like, in this other life you keep talking about.
- Are we happy? - I think we're happy.
- Are you so happy now? - I'm relatively happy.
I mean, I just got divorced, so - From Lowenstein.
- Yeah! - Dermatologist, right? - How do you know that? [Glasses Thud.]
So, I got divorced, and now I just kind of throw myself into my work.
And I started a commercial real estate company, and it's doing great, so See, that's the whole thing.
Everybody seems to be doing terrific.
You know, maybe it's better off that that I didn't become "Dice," you know, the arena comic, all that, you know.
Banging waitresses, Playboy bunnies, actresses.
Okay, I get it.
You got a lot of pussy in your day.
Me, too.
What's your point? My point is that 'cause everybody's doing so good, maybe that old man rabbi was right.
Maybe I should just live the life I'm leading and let you move on with your life.
Or maybe you could take a closer look.
Things might not be exactly what they seem.
And how's that? Well, for starters, all I seem to do anymore is work.
And I haven't listened to Kool & the Gang in a really, really, really long time.
Here's to Kool &the Gang.
- [Laughs.]
- [Glass Thuds.]
Why don't you come to this party with me? - [Exhales Deeply.]
- Come on.
You got nothing to lose.

What's the app for? It's called Vinder.
It's like, uh, Tinder but for virgins.
- [Laughs.]
- Think of that an app that all these losers can get laid.
They make a bunch of money.
What? No.
Vinder is for people who are saving themselves for marriage and want to meet like-minded people.
What are you talking about? This unspoken pressure for us to have sex, you know? Yeah, yeah, and we're not gonna break our purity pledges - just because - Whoa, whoa.

70% here, 30% there.
I've sold the whole company six times over.
- No shit.
- FCC is coming after me like they got a vendetta.
I need a place to hide out.
So wait a minute, your life is shit? It's dog shit.
Which means Dice didn't fuck up your life? No, not the dice, not the hookers.
It was the crystal meth.
The crystal meth did not help.
You know what this means? This means that everybody I care about is doing fucking terrible.
They're doing worse than I could even think of.
Oh, shit.
Don't look now.
David Arquette is walking right towards us.
- Hey, David.
- Walk away.
- No, David, listen.

I love my fans, but what I need you to do now is walk away.
One question.
One question.
[Sighs.]
Everything on the outside seems perfect, right? You got this great life.
But underneath, inside, maybe things aren't that great? No, my life is pretty great.
I'm talking, like, deep down.
Nope.
Still great.
I swear, there's like not even a whiff of something I'd change.

Sorry.
- [Door Closes.]
- You should go back.
That life isn't so bad.
Everyone loves you, and you seem really good at your job.
That life? That life is miserable.

You're a free man.
What about the money? What about my debt? - What debt? - My debt.
- What debt? - The debt that got me in the problem in the first place.
