The Big Door Prize (2023) s02e08 Episode Script
Our Town
[HANA] Thank you.
- [REUBEN] Hey, bartender.
- Hey.
How would you feel about
supporting the local arts?
[SCOFFS] Wow.
That looks pretty
intense for a school play.
It was the students' idea.
- Our Town, with wrestling.
- Mm-hmm.
And believe it or not, I have
been teaching them some moves.
Because you clearly know a lot
about wrestling, question mark?
[CHUCKLES] Then you remember
when I told you about my vision?
No. I remember you refusing
to tell me about your vision.
Well, I told you it had something
to do with my dad, right?
Yeah.
Well, it was actually
this wrestling thing.
It was like a wrestling video game,
only it was me and my dad in the game.
And it reminded me of how we
used to wrestle in the backyard
when I was a kid.
- We used to go outside after dinner, and
- [EXHALES HEAVILY]
Oh, it was just play.
Pure fun. It was a
feeling that I'd lost.
Yeah.
And then these kids
at school [CHUCKLES]
They're working on their play,
and I just so happen to be there.
And they're asking me about wrestling.
And it felt like a sign. [CHUCKLES]
Why you telling me all this?
You want me to hang your
little flyer in my bar, or
- What's in it for me?
- I'm way ahead of you.
- You were reading Twilight.
- I won't be shamed.
Well, this is supposed to be
a really terrible vampire book.
[CLICKS TONGUE] Okay. I don't
exclusively read bad vampire books,
but I can't say no to a bribe.
So, who knows? Maybe I'll
I'll go see this weird play.
Hmm. Maybe I will even save you a seat.
- Good morning, sunshine.
- [GROANS]
Wipe off those eye crusties, Dusty.
- How'd you sleep, Sleeping Beauty?
- [STAMMERING] Yeah, good, good.
Just had this awful nightmare that
I was awoken by a goateed intruder.
Hey, looky-looky.
I made your favorite for breakfast.
I put it in a to-go container.
Let's get you dressed and
cleared out of this room.
Oh, look. I just found your scooter
helmet right here. That's so crazy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. I-I
just woke up a half second ago,
and my bladder's right behind that.
So what's happening, man?
[SIGHS] Okay. I didn't want
it to go down like this,
but things have moved pretty quickly, D.
It's been a blast having you
stay here these last few weeks.
But I need to help
Natalie with her debt,
and my accountant, Cary,
said that renting my place out
and moving in with Nat is the
best way to chip away at it.
So I need you to move out, bro.
Wha [SIGHS] Oh. Your
accountant, Cary? You mean my dad?
I'm sorry, Son. I had to suggest
what's best for my client.
- How lovely to see you, Dad.
- [CHUCKLES]
You know, I would've
appreciated a little more notice.
Believe me, I know
that, D. Come on, man.
Like, what you think? I wanna
leave my big, beautiful house
- and all my things?
- Okay, well, maybe you should think about this
a little bit more then, Giorgio.
No, no, no, no. We've
We've talked this through.
No, this is going to be
the best thing for you boys.
Okay. No rush, D.
But if you could just have
all your stuff out by 3:00 p.m.
I would love to do a walk-through
and assess any damage.
[DUSTY GROANS]
- Oh, wow. Look at that.
- [CHUCKLES]
Ah, you excited about
the big show tonight?
[INHALES DEEPLY] Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I've still got
a few things to iron out,
but, you know, it shouldn't
disappoint. [CHUCKLES]
How's your morning going?
- Groovy. Really groovy. Yeah.
- Cool. Hmm.
I had a cup of coffee, a nice hot
shower, got evicted from my house.
Oh. Oh, no. R-Really?
Yeah. I mean, technically
it's Giorgio's house.
But hey, on an unrelated matter,
would you happen to know what the
official school policy is on teachers
sleeping in their classrooms?
- No. I don't. [CHUCKLES]
- [GROANS]
But, uh, I don't know. Why
don't you just stay at my place?
Right. Your place. [CLEARS THROAT]
- Yeah, that's an option. Is it?
- Yeah.
Okay. Is it a good, um
- I I'd just be worried about the optics.
- Mm-hmm.
We've done such a great job
- of being professional and discreet
- Mm-hmm.
Hey. There's my two favorite
fuck buddies. [CHUCKLES]
- Whoa, whoa.
- Wow.
- Now, we are not F-buddies.
- Mm-mmm.
- We haven't F'd.
- [CHUCKLES]
That's not what the students are saying.
Principal Pat, do you think you
should be gossiping with the students?
Should I? No. Do I? Hell, yes. [LAUGHS]
Wow.
You know, just to be clear, I was
offering you my couch to sleep on.
Right. Right. [STAMMERS] Good.
Good. No, that's what I assumed.
Yeah. Yeah. Because if you
were to sleep in bed with me,
you might start developing real
actual feelings for me. So
Well, we wouldn't want that.
[CHUCKLES] No. Mm-mmm. No, we wouldn't.
It's too risky anyway.
Too risky?
Because once you get a dollop of
Dustard, you're gonna get flustered.
- Ooh, cool. Okay.
- Is it?
- [CHUCKLES] No, uh
- No.
You know, if you keep on
saying stuff like that,
- I'll be just fine. [CHUCKLES] All right.
- Cool.
- Um, I'll see you tonight.
- [STAMMERS] Okay.
[ALICE CHUCKLES] Bye.
Emily. I'm going to do my best. I
Mm-hmm?
[SIGHS] I love you, Emily. I
See, you do know your lines.
And I'm glad you're not
playing my dad anymore.
[CHUCKLES] Yes. Yeah.
This is way less awkward.
I'll see you at school.
It'll be great or terrible.
Either way, we're all gonna die someday.
Mm-hmm.
- Howdy.
- Hey, Trina.
Hey. Hope I wasn't too
loud with the sander.
I told Mr. J I'd help him with the
float for the Deercoming parade.
- Yeah. You're good.
- But from what I could hear,
it sounds like this play is
gonna be off the chain. [CHUCKLES]
I wish I could see it. You're
not upset I can't come, are you?
Nah, it's just that scene with Trina.
I have to say "I love you" in the play.
But I've never said it to her in
real life, and I feel like I want to.
But, you know, what if
the timing isn't right or
what if she doesn't say it back?
You're putting too much
pressure on yourself.
Your mom and I, we almost
never said "I love you."
- Really?
- Yeah.
We said our own thing, and
we knew what it really meant.
Don't worry so much about the
words. Focus on the feeling. Okay?
Okay.
[STAMMERS] So what'd you and Mom say?
Oh, it would just sound corny
and weird if I said it now.
No, no.
We used to say,
"You're my mushy-wushy widdle banana."
- Yeah, You shouldn't have told me that.
- Hmm?
Hey. What's up, Father?
You got a minute on you
for a lapsed Catholic?
[CHUCKLES]
I know office hours are
usually for students,
but I do consider
myself a student of life.
[CHUCKLES] Oh, no, no, no.
I'm glad to see you, Giorgio.
I've been meaning to thank you
for your generous donation
to the student play.
Hey, when Savannah said
it was wrestling-themed,
- I knew I had to help out.
- [CHUCKLES]
But I gotta say, I didn't picture
you as a wrestling fan, Father.
Oh, yeah. I was crazy
about it when I was a kid.
I used to like all the
villains. You know, the heels.
Absolutely.
- Jake "The Snake," uh
- Come on.
Bret "The Hitman" Hart
and Randy "Macho Man" Savage.
Ooh, yeah. Savage Steamboat,
WrestleMania III.
I wore that tape to shreds.
I think I still remember
every move from those matches.
Same, same.
You know, I always saw myself as
a bit like The Ultimate Warrior
- [CHUCKLES]
- you know?
But lately, I don't I don't
know. I just Lately I don't know.
Which brings you to my
office. Yeah. [STAMMERS]
Yeah, I just I don't know, Father.
- I feel like I've been powerslammed, bro.
- [CHUCKLES]
Like, I've always been
this eligible bachelor
and entrepreneur and sports hero
- with perfect hair.
- [CHUCKLES]
And now I'm in this transition,
like taking on help with the restaurant
and giving up my house and all my stuff.
And it's just hard, you know,
like like, I've always been
numero uno and only.
And now I'm just uno numero
in a bunch of numeros.
Well, do you mind if I quote the Bible?
I would be honored. I love the Bible.
"All of you, clothe yourselves
with humility towards one another,
for God opposes the proud but
gives grace to the humble."
Yes. Yes.
Your potential may
have been "Superstar,"
but your MORPHO vision of who you are
is a man doing his best to serve others.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Father Reuben,
these words that you have brought
to me in a time of suffering
have truly shown me the way,
and I would like to repay
you by serving you today.
- Aw, you don't have to do that, Gio
- I would like to try.
Grant me that. For the rest
of today, I'd like to try.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
I gotta say,
all the times I drove past this place,
I thought it was just a hardware store.
[CHUCKLES] Well, it used to be just
a hardware store until Mr. Kappler,
he got "Beautician" on his MORPHO card.
- Hence, Nails 'n Nails.
- Mm-hmm.
Just so you ladies
know, we're giving out
free plungers with a facial scrub today.
Oh. We Okay, uh [STAMMERS]
Um, I'm I'm good. You good?
- [HANA] I'm good. Yeah.
- Okay.
[CHUCKLES] Thank you
for coming, by the way.
- Yeah.
- Oh, my gosh. I just felt I needed to treat myself
with my first official
paycheck from Giorgio's.
Buongiorno a tutti. Giorgio
and Daddy Reuben in the house.
What's up, Cassie? What's up, Hana?
Father Reuben, I'm
surprised to see you here.
Oh, so am I.
This man spreads
godliness over everyone.
It's time he starts indulging himself.
Speaking of looking after best friends,
Cassie, I am sorry that I had
to kick Dusty out the house.
You kicked him out?
Yeah. End of an era.
But don't worry. Dusty never,
ever brought any women home.
- Okay.
- Of course, if the door was closed,
there's a high probability that
he was cleaning his own pipes.
After all, he is a mortal
man. I'm sorry, Father.
[CASS] Yeah. Sorry, Father. [CHUCKLES]
Okay, this has been great.
But, uh, think we need to get going
so we can get ready for
the big show tonight.
Yeah. The ad campaign
was very persuasive.
- [CHUCKLES]
- So, we'll see you guys there.
See you.
Wait a minute. Wait a dang minute.
Father Reuben, is
there something brewin'
- between you two-in'?
- No comment.
[MR. KAPPLER] You wanna
have a seat, Father?
Yeah, he does wanna have a seat.
- Yeah, "no comment."
- [CHUCKLES]
Yeah. Make my boy comfortable,
okay? Two deluxe packages.
And don't you worry. You
can say anything you want
in front of Mr. Kappler.
- [MR. KAPPLER] That's right.
- Hmm.
Well, okay. Maybe there
is something brewing.
- Oh?
- But ever since my wife passed
I've experienced these
deep pangs of guilt
when I do something pleasurable.
Why should I get to experience
any of the joys of life
when she no longer can?
Hey, but, Father, I mean,
you're teaching me how to let go.
Sounds like there's some things
you need to be letting go of too.
Right, Mr. Kappler? What you think?
I'd have to agree with Giorgio.
The last thing your wife would want
is for you to keep punishing yourself.
Now, can I interest you two in
a facial scrub and a plunger?
Oh.
[DUSTY] Yeah. You know,
the great thing about it?
It's unconventional.
I've seen Our Town. I was in Our Town.
No, no. Nothing will beat your
Captain von Trapp. [LAUGHS]
Cassandra.
Hey. [SIGHS]
- How you doing? [CLEARS THROAT]
- Hi.
Um, thanks for coming.
- To my daughter's play?
- [CHUCKLES]
It's my pleasure, my pleasure.
Golly, check out this jacket.
Yeah. It's, uh It's thrifted.
I got it from a vintage store
where there's older clothes.
- Yeah, I know what thrifted is.
- Right, yeah. Yeah, of
- It looks good.
- Thanks.
You, um [SNIFFS] You
have a pleasant new scent
- Oh.
- I believe.
Yeah, uh, Oregano Mist. [CHUCKLES]
It's just the air freshener
- in the staff room at Giorgio's.
- Oh, right.
Yeah, it is impossible to
get out of your clothes.
Well, your hair and your smell
and your face and your clothes
are all working very
well together, I think.
[CHUCKLES] Thank you.
Um [CLICKS TONGUE] so is, uh
It's assign assigned
seating or [EXHALES DEEPLY]
You know what? I
thought it would be nice
for Trina for us to sit together.
I don't know. I I just
That's not against the rules, is it?
No. No, I I think it'd be nice.
Great. Okay.
All right. Let's go.
[DUSTY CLEARS THROAT]
[ANNOUNCER] Good evening and
welcome to Deerfield High's
- Hey. What's up, boys?
- performance of Our Town.
- Hi. Hey. [KISSES]
- Oh.
Giorgio, thank God. I haven't
heard from you all day.
Baby, I called you three times.
I know, but I wasn't sure
if it was a pocket dial.
It's so good to see you.
[CHUCKLES] Believe it or not, I was
with Father Reuben all afternoon.
- Look at my boy over there. Yes.
- [CHUCKLES]
What was that? You and Giorgio
going to a frat party after this?
I think he was just
congratulating me on the play.
- Hmm.
- And thank you for coming, by the way.
Of course. And thank you
again for the vampire book.
Oh, you started?
- I did, and it is awful. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]
It's both humiliating and touching
that you completely know my taste.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING, WHISTLING]
Here we go.
[AUDIENCE MEMBER SHUSHES]
This play is called Our Town.
It's written by Thornton Wilder,
produced by the students
of Deerfield High.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
[LAUGHS] Yeah. Huh? Huh?
[IMITATING DEER NOISES]
In Grover's Corners, New Hampshire,
just across the Massachusetts line:
latitude 40 degrees 42
minutes, longitude 70 degrees
Oh, by the way, D,
3:00 p.m. came and went,
so I just boxed up your
stuff and put it on the porch.
What? W What if it rains?
Nah, nah. Clear skies tonight
but the sprinklers turn
on at 9:00, so you know.
[SCOFFS] The basement's
still all set up,
if, you know, you wanna
come back to the house.
- Oh. Thanks, Cass.
- [CHUCKLES] Hmm.
I already have a place lined up.
Oh. Really? [CHUCKLES] Where?
[STAMMERS] At, uh, Alice's.
[STAMMERS] On the couch, of course.
Oh.
She offered first, so
it j it feels like
it'd be weird to change the plan now.
Sure. Of course. [SIGHS]
When does Trina come on? I am
not following this play at all.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS] Holy shit.
I'm so fucking nervous.
You're gonna be fine,
Jacob. You've got me.
We have each other.
[INHALES DEEPLY] And I love
[EXHALES DEEPLY] that.
But that's just, like,
a cool thing about us.
That, like, whatever's going on,
like, in the world or, like
Yeah. [STAMMERS] Sorry. Um,
I'm just trying to focus. Sorry.
- Fo sho. Okay. Fuck.
- Okay. Now.
[ACTOR] Wally, you wash yourself good,
or I'll come up and do it myself.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Every day I go to school dressed
like like a sick turkey!
Now, Rebecca, you always look very nice.
Mama, George is throwing soap at me.
- [GRUNTS]
- [AUDIENCE CHUCKLES]
I'll come up and slap the both
of you. That's what I'll do!
[AUDIENCE GROANS]
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
- [AUDIENCE CHEERING]
- [LAUGHS]
[PERSON] Whoo-hoo!
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
Oh, would you look at this!
Miss Gibbs is fed up with
George and Rebecca's shenanigans
and is ready to serve up some pain.
- [BELL DINGS]
- [GRUNTS]

- [GRUNTS]
- Oh!
- Oh!
[SCREAMS, GRUNTS]
Oh.
[CLEARS THROAT]
- That looked painful.
- [CHUCKLES]
[GROANS] Are you seeing this?
My man is blowing it.
Oh, who? Luke? Yeah, his
performance is a bit wooden,
- but this will still be a positive review.
- No, no. Not Luke, babe.
Father Reuben. I gotta
talk to him at intermission.
- [SCREAMS]
- [GRUNTS]
- [GRUNTS]
- Oh!
Yeah, I basically came up
with the whole wrestling thing.
I was actually I
was hoping that Trina
might give me a shout-out in her bio.
Hmm, new glasses?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I guess they
are. Just for reading.
They're nice. You
look very professorial.
Thanks.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
- [TRINA] Yeah!
- [GROANS]
- [BELL DINGS]
- Yeah!
I think the spectacle of
it all is just fabulous.
I'm actually working on
a large-scale show myself.
Oh, okay.
You're the first person
I'm telling about
Excuse me, Mr. Johnson. I need to
steal our Father here for a second.
- Thank you.
- Oh, sure.
Reubs, what is going on out there?
As a reader of sexual
energies, trust me,
Hana is giving you all the signals.
How are you seeing all this?
Aren't you watching the play?
I can barely focus on the stage
with the compelling human drama
that I'm observing in the crowd.
- Uh-huh.
- Papa Padre, please.
It is time to let go. Be free. Have fun.
[ANNOUNCER] Please make
your way back to your seats.
The show will resume shortly.
Hey, everything all right?
[SIGHS]
Think the play is about to
start up again in a minute.
I hear there's a piledriver
you won't wanna miss. [CHUCKLES]
I'm sure it'll look amazing,
especially with your new glasses.
Well, they're reading glasses,
so I wasn't planning on
I don't get it.
Do you know how long I've been
telling you that you need glasses?
I mean, even secretly added you
to the LensCrafters email list.
Okay.
Uh, well, you wanted me to get glasses.
I finally got some.
They are really helpful.
So, it's a good thing, right?
Depends. Did Alice
tell you to get glasses?
- She may have mentioned it.
- Mmm.
But it was already on my to-do list.
And that's great.
Truly, it's it's
great that you're making
all of these positive changes.
[CHUCKLES]
It just really sucks
that you're doing it now
and so easily without me.
Look, it sucks that it it took
a machine and some other woman
for you to start doing things
that I've been wanting
you to do for years.
But that's what we
decided to do together.
[CHUCKLES] I'm just doing
exactly what we set out to do.
And where is it going?
- How do [STAMMERS] How do you mean?
- With Alice.
Where is that going?
You are either leading her
on or you are leading me on.
Either way, it feels pretty shitty.
Cass.
[JACOB] I guess new people probably
aren't any better than old ones.
I'll bet they almost never are.
Emily, I feel that you're
as good a friend as I've got.
- [SHOUTS]
- [GRUNTS]

meet the people in other towns.
- [SCREAMING]
- [GRUNTS]
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
Yes. They stay here while the
Earth part of them burns away.
Burns out.
And all that time they
get slowly indifferent
to what's going on in Grover's Corners.
Hmm.
They're waiting.
They're waiting for something
they feel is is coming.
They're waiting for something
important or something great.
Aren't they waiting for the
eternal part in them to come out
- [CLEARS THROAT]
- [AXEL] clear?
- [WHISPERING] Come on.
- Giorgio.
- No, I'm just

Why did they ever have to get old?
Mama
I'm here.
I'm grown-up.
I love you.
I love you all.
Everything. [CHUCKLES]
[CHUCKLES]
I can't look at everything hard enough.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING, APPLAUDING]
[CHEERING CONTINUES, WHOOPING]
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo!
[DUSTY] Bravo!
[CASS] Yay! Good job.
- Whoo-hoo! [CHUCKLES]
- [FAN LAUGHS]
- [SIGHS] Wow.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
Excuse me, everybody. I
got something I need to say.
Hey, Father Reuben.
Are you responsible for introducing
wrestling into a classic play?
How dare you make a
mockery of the estate
of the late, great Thornton Wilder!
- What is he doing?
- I have absolutely no idea.
Wha
- This is so bizarre.
- [CHUCKLES]
On behalf of every parent
and future stepparent here tonight,
I am here to defend
the traditional theatrical experience
by taking you down, Father Reuben.
[AUDIENCE] Oh!
Kick his ass, Father Reuben!
- [AUDIENCE CHEERING]
- [HANA] Whoo!
Yeah!
Hey, come on. You got this. Whoo!
[CHEERING CONTINUES]
[AUDIENCE] Father! Father! Father!
[CHANTING CONTINUES]
Come on, Father. Let's get down to it.
- [GRUNTS] Let's go.
- Whoa!
You've been wearing this the whole time?
Yeah, I told Savannah I
could come off the bench
if somebody got injured.
- [GRUNTING]
- [BREATHES DEEPLY]
WrestleMania III, Savage,
Steamboat. You said you remember, right?
- Every move.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
It's time to let go, Father.
No, you let go. [GRUNTS]
[YELPS] Come on.
- [GRUNTING]
- [GIORGIO] Keep them going.
- [REUBEN] Yeah.
- [GRUNTING, STRAINING]
- [SCREAMS]
- Oh!
- [GRUNTS] Oh, yeah!
- [GRUNTS, SHOUTS]
Whoo-hoo!

Let's see if the power of

- [GRUNTING]
- [REUBEN] Come on!
[GASPS]
[GIORGIO GRUNTS]
Whoo!
[GRUNTS]
Body slam!
- Oh.
- Oh.
[GROANS]
Whoo.
Here come the fist drops. Okay, Father?
All right. Okay. Yeah.
[PANTING]
[AUDIENCE GROANS]
[GIORGIO] Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Holy God.
[GIORGIO] Oh, yeah!
Yeah, you like this? [INHALES DEEPLY]
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, I like it!
Ooh, smells good.

- [PANTING]
- [WHISTLE BLOWS]
Giorgio is down and out. And
Father Reuben's going to the top.
[CHEERING CONTINUES]
If he drops that elbow, it's all over.
[AUDIENCE] Drop, drop,
drop, drop, drop, drop, drop!
[FATHER REUBEN] And this machine,
whether it's magic or not, is
reminding people that our lives
have more than one possible path.
[CHEERING CONTINUES]
[FATHER REUBEN] Which
is scary. [CHUCKLES]
The same way as it's scary to
walk to the edge of a cliff.
Because you already know that you
could stay exactly where you are,
or you could
throw yourself off
into the deep unknown.
[CHEERING CONTINUES]
And you know
it's up to you.
- [GRUNTS, BREATHES HEAVILY]
- [WHISTLE BLOWING]
[CHEERING]
Yeah!
- [CHUCKLES]
- Yeah, Father, I love you.
Thank you, man. I love you too.
[PANTING]
Hey, that was amazing.
- [AUDIENCE CHEERING]
- [GASPS]
- [WHISTLE BLOWING]
- This guy!
I was just bringing you a
bottle of water, but okay.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
[GASPS]
Yeah! Yeah!
[LAUGHS]
Okay, thespians!
You guys were all superstars out
there tonight. We killed it, baby.
"We" killed it?
You killed it, Tri. And I
killed it by being humble.
Y'all know I could have
beat Father Reuben, right?
But my role is merely to serve.
Come on, everybody.
Grab a slice of pizza.
I got veggie, pepperoni
here. The Axman has cheese.
Yep. Nice.
Nice.
Congratulations on an epic performance.
I almost believed you could
actually beat someone up.
- Thanks. Same.
- [CHUCKLES]
You do realize you just gave
me the best slice, right?
Like, even proportion on all
the toppings, air bubbles.
- [CLICKS TONGUE]
- Of course I gave you the best slice.
Okay. Sweet.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Just so you know,
I'd give you the best
slice too because
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
You love me.
Yeah. How did you
Because I love you too.
[CHUCKLES]
- Holy shit. This is great.
- [CHUCKLES]
Okay. We just said that.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Wow.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Okay. [BREATHES DEEPLY]
I feel like my butt just
unclenched for the first time today.
That's really hot.
[CHUCKLES] Is it?
- Yes. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]
[CHUCKLES]
Thank you so much for coming.
I'm sure Trina will be out in a minute.
Hmm.
Cass, hey. I, um
I think that we should end
the self-ploration early.
Like, right now.
I think we both got great things
from our little experiment.
But if anyone's getting hurt in this,
then shouldn't we just wrap it up?
[STAMMERS] Okay, Dusty. Look,
this isn't what I was asking for.
No, I-I I know you weren't, but I
I do think it's for the best, don't you?
- Yeah. I mean, I just [STAMMERS]
- [TRINA] Hey, guys.
- [CASS] Yeah, hey!
- [TRINA] What did we think?
- [SQUEALS]
- [DUSTY] Hey. Wow. There she is.
[GASPS] Trina. Jacob. Oh, my gosh.
Honey, how did you even do that?
- I don't know.
- You both were so good.
Thanks.
Um, s-so a bunch of us are going for
ice cream, if you guys wanna join.
[STAMMERS] Ice cream sounds
great. Let's all go together.
Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
- [TRINA] Yay. Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
- [CASS] Whoo-hoo! Come on, come on.
- [TRINA] Mom, wait. What's happening?
[TRINA, CASS CHATTERING, LAUGHING]
["ANOTHER TIME" PLAYING]
Yeah. Okay.
[CHATTERING]
[SONG CONTINUES]
- [REUBEN] Hey, bartender.
- Hey.
How would you feel about
supporting the local arts?
[SCOFFS] Wow.
That looks pretty
intense for a school play.
It was the students' idea.
- Our Town, with wrestling.
- Mm-hmm.
And believe it or not, I have
been teaching them some moves.
Because you clearly know a lot
about wrestling, question mark?
[CHUCKLES] Then you remember
when I told you about my vision?
No. I remember you refusing
to tell me about your vision.
Well, I told you it had something
to do with my dad, right?
Yeah.
Well, it was actually
this wrestling thing.
It was like a wrestling video game,
only it was me and my dad in the game.
And it reminded me of how we
used to wrestle in the backyard
when I was a kid.
- We used to go outside after dinner, and
- [EXHALES HEAVILY]
Oh, it was just play.
Pure fun. It was a
feeling that I'd lost.
Yeah.
And then these kids
at school [CHUCKLES]
They're working on their play,
and I just so happen to be there.
And they're asking me about wrestling.
And it felt like a sign. [CHUCKLES]
Why you telling me all this?
You want me to hang your
little flyer in my bar, or
- What's in it for me?
- I'm way ahead of you.
- You were reading Twilight.
- I won't be shamed.
Well, this is supposed to be
a really terrible vampire book.
[CLICKS TONGUE] Okay. I don't
exclusively read bad vampire books,
but I can't say no to a bribe.
So, who knows? Maybe I'll
I'll go see this weird play.
Hmm. Maybe I will even save you a seat.
- Good morning, sunshine.
- [GROANS]
Wipe off those eye crusties, Dusty.
- How'd you sleep, Sleeping Beauty?
- [STAMMERING] Yeah, good, good.
Just had this awful nightmare that
I was awoken by a goateed intruder.
Hey, looky-looky.
I made your favorite for breakfast.
I put it in a to-go container.
Let's get you dressed and
cleared out of this room.
Oh, look. I just found your scooter
helmet right here. That's so crazy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. I-I
just woke up a half second ago,
and my bladder's right behind that.
So what's happening, man?
[SIGHS] Okay. I didn't want
it to go down like this,
but things have moved pretty quickly, D.
It's been a blast having you
stay here these last few weeks.
But I need to help
Natalie with her debt,
and my accountant, Cary,
said that renting my place out
and moving in with Nat is the
best way to chip away at it.
So I need you to move out, bro.
Wha [SIGHS] Oh. Your
accountant, Cary? You mean my dad?
I'm sorry, Son. I had to suggest
what's best for my client.
- How lovely to see you, Dad.
- [CHUCKLES]
You know, I would've
appreciated a little more notice.
Believe me, I know
that, D. Come on, man.
Like, what you think? I wanna
leave my big, beautiful house
- and all my things?
- Okay, well, maybe you should think about this
a little bit more then, Giorgio.
No, no, no, no. We've
We've talked this through.
No, this is going to be
the best thing for you boys.
Okay. No rush, D.
But if you could just have
all your stuff out by 3:00 p.m.
I would love to do a walk-through
and assess any damage.
[DUSTY GROANS]
- Oh, wow. Look at that.
- [CHUCKLES]
Ah, you excited about
the big show tonight?
[INHALES DEEPLY] Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I've still got
a few things to iron out,
but, you know, it shouldn't
disappoint. [CHUCKLES]
How's your morning going?
- Groovy. Really groovy. Yeah.
- Cool. Hmm.
I had a cup of coffee, a nice hot
shower, got evicted from my house.
Oh. Oh, no. R-Really?
Yeah. I mean, technically
it's Giorgio's house.
But hey, on an unrelated matter,
would you happen to know what the
official school policy is on teachers
sleeping in their classrooms?
- No. I don't. [CHUCKLES]
- [GROANS]
But, uh, I don't know. Why
don't you just stay at my place?
Right. Your place. [CLEARS THROAT]
- Yeah, that's an option. Is it?
- Yeah.
Okay. Is it a good, um
- I I'd just be worried about the optics.
- Mm-hmm.
We've done such a great job
- of being professional and discreet
- Mm-hmm.
Hey. There's my two favorite
fuck buddies. [CHUCKLES]
- Whoa, whoa.
- Wow.
- Now, we are not F-buddies.
- Mm-mmm.
- We haven't F'd.
- [CHUCKLES]
That's not what the students are saying.
Principal Pat, do you think you
should be gossiping with the students?
Should I? No. Do I? Hell, yes. [LAUGHS]
Wow.
You know, just to be clear, I was
offering you my couch to sleep on.
Right. Right. [STAMMERS] Good.
Good. No, that's what I assumed.
Yeah. Yeah. Because if you
were to sleep in bed with me,
you might start developing real
actual feelings for me. So
Well, we wouldn't want that.
[CHUCKLES] No. Mm-mmm. No, we wouldn't.
It's too risky anyway.
Too risky?
Because once you get a dollop of
Dustard, you're gonna get flustered.
- Ooh, cool. Okay.
- Is it?
- [CHUCKLES] No, uh
- No.
You know, if you keep on
saying stuff like that,
- I'll be just fine. [CHUCKLES] All right.
- Cool.
- Um, I'll see you tonight.
- [STAMMERS] Okay.
[ALICE CHUCKLES] Bye.
Emily. I'm going to do my best. I
Mm-hmm?
[SIGHS] I love you, Emily. I
See, you do know your lines.
And I'm glad you're not
playing my dad anymore.
[CHUCKLES] Yes. Yeah.
This is way less awkward.
I'll see you at school.
It'll be great or terrible.
Either way, we're all gonna die someday.
Mm-hmm.
- Howdy.
- Hey, Trina.
Hey. Hope I wasn't too
loud with the sander.
I told Mr. J I'd help him with the
float for the Deercoming parade.
- Yeah. You're good.
- But from what I could hear,
it sounds like this play is
gonna be off the chain. [CHUCKLES]
I wish I could see it. You're
not upset I can't come, are you?
Nah, it's just that scene with Trina.
I have to say "I love you" in the play.
But I've never said it to her in
real life, and I feel like I want to.
But, you know, what if
the timing isn't right or
what if she doesn't say it back?
You're putting too much
pressure on yourself.
Your mom and I, we almost
never said "I love you."
- Really?
- Yeah.
We said our own thing, and
we knew what it really meant.
Don't worry so much about the
words. Focus on the feeling. Okay?
Okay.
[STAMMERS] So what'd you and Mom say?
Oh, it would just sound corny
and weird if I said it now.
No, no.
We used to say,
"You're my mushy-wushy widdle banana."
- Yeah, You shouldn't have told me that.
- Hmm?
Hey. What's up, Father?
You got a minute on you
for a lapsed Catholic?
[CHUCKLES]
I know office hours are
usually for students,
but I do consider
myself a student of life.
[CHUCKLES] Oh, no, no, no.
I'm glad to see you, Giorgio.
I've been meaning to thank you
for your generous donation
to the student play.
Hey, when Savannah said
it was wrestling-themed,
- I knew I had to help out.
- [CHUCKLES]
But I gotta say, I didn't picture
you as a wrestling fan, Father.
Oh, yeah. I was crazy
about it when I was a kid.
I used to like all the
villains. You know, the heels.
Absolutely.
- Jake "The Snake," uh
- Come on.
Bret "The Hitman" Hart
and Randy "Macho Man" Savage.
Ooh, yeah. Savage Steamboat,
WrestleMania III.
I wore that tape to shreds.
I think I still remember
every move from those matches.
Same, same.
You know, I always saw myself as
a bit like The Ultimate Warrior
- [CHUCKLES]
- you know?
But lately, I don't I don't
know. I just Lately I don't know.
Which brings you to my
office. Yeah. [STAMMERS]
Yeah, I just I don't know, Father.
- I feel like I've been powerslammed, bro.
- [CHUCKLES]
Like, I've always been
this eligible bachelor
and entrepreneur and sports hero
- with perfect hair.
- [CHUCKLES]
And now I'm in this transition,
like taking on help with the restaurant
and giving up my house and all my stuff.
And it's just hard, you know,
like like, I've always been
numero uno and only.
And now I'm just uno numero
in a bunch of numeros.
Well, do you mind if I quote the Bible?
I would be honored. I love the Bible.
"All of you, clothe yourselves
with humility towards one another,
for God opposes the proud but
gives grace to the humble."
Yes. Yes.
Your potential may
have been "Superstar,"
but your MORPHO vision of who you are
is a man doing his best to serve others.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Father Reuben,
these words that you have brought
to me in a time of suffering
have truly shown me the way,
and I would like to repay
you by serving you today.
- Aw, you don't have to do that, Gio
- I would like to try.
Grant me that. For the rest
of today, I'd like to try.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
I gotta say,
all the times I drove past this place,
I thought it was just a hardware store.
[CHUCKLES] Well, it used to be just
a hardware store until Mr. Kappler,
he got "Beautician" on his MORPHO card.
- Hence, Nails 'n Nails.
- Mm-hmm.
Just so you ladies
know, we're giving out
free plungers with a facial scrub today.
Oh. We Okay, uh [STAMMERS]
Um, I'm I'm good. You good?
- [HANA] I'm good. Yeah.
- Okay.
[CHUCKLES] Thank you
for coming, by the way.
- Yeah.
- Oh, my gosh. I just felt I needed to treat myself
with my first official
paycheck from Giorgio's.
Buongiorno a tutti. Giorgio
and Daddy Reuben in the house.
What's up, Cassie? What's up, Hana?
Father Reuben, I'm
surprised to see you here.
Oh, so am I.
This man spreads
godliness over everyone.
It's time he starts indulging himself.
Speaking of looking after best friends,
Cassie, I am sorry that I had
to kick Dusty out the house.
You kicked him out?
Yeah. End of an era.
But don't worry. Dusty never,
ever brought any women home.
- Okay.
- Of course, if the door was closed,
there's a high probability that
he was cleaning his own pipes.
After all, he is a mortal
man. I'm sorry, Father.
[CASS] Yeah. Sorry, Father. [CHUCKLES]
Okay, this has been great.
But, uh, think we need to get going
so we can get ready for
the big show tonight.
Yeah. The ad campaign
was very persuasive.
- [CHUCKLES]
- So, we'll see you guys there.
See you.
Wait a minute. Wait a dang minute.
Father Reuben, is
there something brewin'
- between you two-in'?
- No comment.
[MR. KAPPLER] You wanna
have a seat, Father?
Yeah, he does wanna have a seat.
- Yeah, "no comment."
- [CHUCKLES]
Yeah. Make my boy comfortable,
okay? Two deluxe packages.
And don't you worry. You
can say anything you want
in front of Mr. Kappler.
- [MR. KAPPLER] That's right.
- Hmm.
Well, okay. Maybe there
is something brewing.
- Oh?
- But ever since my wife passed
I've experienced these
deep pangs of guilt
when I do something pleasurable.
Why should I get to experience
any of the joys of life
when she no longer can?
Hey, but, Father, I mean,
you're teaching me how to let go.
Sounds like there's some things
you need to be letting go of too.
Right, Mr. Kappler? What you think?
I'd have to agree with Giorgio.
The last thing your wife would want
is for you to keep punishing yourself.
Now, can I interest you two in
a facial scrub and a plunger?
Oh.
[DUSTY] Yeah. You know,
the great thing about it?
It's unconventional.
I've seen Our Town. I was in Our Town.
No, no. Nothing will beat your
Captain von Trapp. [LAUGHS]
Cassandra.
Hey. [SIGHS]
- How you doing? [CLEARS THROAT]
- Hi.
Um, thanks for coming.
- To my daughter's play?
- [CHUCKLES]
It's my pleasure, my pleasure.
Golly, check out this jacket.
Yeah. It's, uh It's thrifted.
I got it from a vintage store
where there's older clothes.
- Yeah, I know what thrifted is.
- Right, yeah. Yeah, of
- It looks good.
- Thanks.
You, um [SNIFFS] You
have a pleasant new scent
- Oh.
- I believe.
Yeah, uh, Oregano Mist. [CHUCKLES]
It's just the air freshener
- in the staff room at Giorgio's.
- Oh, right.
Yeah, it is impossible to
get out of your clothes.
Well, your hair and your smell
and your face and your clothes
are all working very
well together, I think.
[CHUCKLES] Thank you.
Um [CLICKS TONGUE] so is, uh
It's assign assigned
seating or [EXHALES DEEPLY]
You know what? I
thought it would be nice
for Trina for us to sit together.
I don't know. I I just
That's not against the rules, is it?
No. No, I I think it'd be nice.
Great. Okay.
All right. Let's go.
[DUSTY CLEARS THROAT]
[ANNOUNCER] Good evening and
welcome to Deerfield High's
- Hey. What's up, boys?
- performance of Our Town.
- Hi. Hey. [KISSES]
- Oh.
Giorgio, thank God. I haven't
heard from you all day.
Baby, I called you three times.
I know, but I wasn't sure
if it was a pocket dial.
It's so good to see you.
[CHUCKLES] Believe it or not, I was
with Father Reuben all afternoon.
- Look at my boy over there. Yes.
- [CHUCKLES]
What was that? You and Giorgio
going to a frat party after this?
I think he was just
congratulating me on the play.
- Hmm.
- And thank you for coming, by the way.
Of course. And thank you
again for the vampire book.
Oh, you started?
- I did, and it is awful. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]
It's both humiliating and touching
that you completely know my taste.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING, WHISTLING]
Here we go.
[AUDIENCE MEMBER SHUSHES]
This play is called Our Town.
It's written by Thornton Wilder,
produced by the students
of Deerfield High.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
[LAUGHS] Yeah. Huh? Huh?
[IMITATING DEER NOISES]
In Grover's Corners, New Hampshire,
just across the Massachusetts line:
latitude 40 degrees 42
minutes, longitude 70 degrees
Oh, by the way, D,
3:00 p.m. came and went,
so I just boxed up your
stuff and put it on the porch.
What? W What if it rains?
Nah, nah. Clear skies tonight
but the sprinklers turn
on at 9:00, so you know.
[SCOFFS] The basement's
still all set up,
if, you know, you wanna
come back to the house.
- Oh. Thanks, Cass.
- [CHUCKLES] Hmm.
I already have a place lined up.
Oh. Really? [CHUCKLES] Where?
[STAMMERS] At, uh, Alice's.
[STAMMERS] On the couch, of course.
Oh.
She offered first, so
it j it feels like
it'd be weird to change the plan now.
Sure. Of course. [SIGHS]
When does Trina come on? I am
not following this play at all.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS] Holy shit.
I'm so fucking nervous.
You're gonna be fine,
Jacob. You've got me.
We have each other.
[INHALES DEEPLY] And I love
[EXHALES DEEPLY] that.
But that's just, like,
a cool thing about us.
That, like, whatever's going on,
like, in the world or, like
Yeah. [STAMMERS] Sorry. Um,
I'm just trying to focus. Sorry.
- Fo sho. Okay. Fuck.
- Okay. Now.
[ACTOR] Wally, you wash yourself good,
or I'll come up and do it myself.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Every day I go to school dressed
like like a sick turkey!
Now, Rebecca, you always look very nice.
Mama, George is throwing soap at me.

My man is blowing it.
Oh, who? Luke? Yeah, his
performance is a bit wooden,
- but this will still be a positive review.
- No, no. Not Luke, babe.
Father Reuben. I gotta
talk to him at intermission.
- [SCREAMS]
- [GRUNTS]
- [GRUNTS]
- Oh!
Yeah, I basically came up
with the whole wrestling thing.
I was actually I
was hoping that Trina
might give me a shout-out in her bio.
Hmm, new glasses?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I guess they
are. Just for reading.
They're nice. You
look very professorial.
Thanks.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
- [TRINA] Yeah!
- [GROANS]
- [BELL DINGS]
- Yeah!
I think the spectacle of
it all is just fabulous.
I'm actually working on
a large-scale show myself.
Oh, okay.
You're the first person
I'm telling about
Excuse me, Mr. Johnson. I need to
steal our Father here for a second.
- Thank you.
- Oh, sure.
Reubs, what is going on out there?
As a reader of sexual
energies, trust me,
Hana is giving you all the signals.
How are you seeing all this?
Aren't you watching the play?
I can barely focus on the stage
with the compelling human drama
that I'm observing in the crowd.
- Uh-huh.
- Papa Padre, please.
It is time to let go. Be free. Have fun.
[ANNOUNCER] Please make
your way back to your seats.
The show will resume shortly.
Hey, everything all right?
[SIGHS]
Think the play is about to
start up again in a minute.
I hear there's a piledriver
you won't wanna miss. [CHUCKLES]
I'm sure it'll look amazing,
especially with your new glasses.
Well, they're reading glasses,
so I wasn't planning on
I don't get it.
Do you know how long I've been
telling you that you need glasses?
I mean, even secretly added you
to the LensCrafters email list.
Okay.
Uh, well, you wanted me to get glasses.
I finally got some.
They are really helpful.
So, it's a good thing, right?
Depends. Did Alice
tell you to get glasses?
- She may have mentioned it.
- Mmm.
But it was already on my to-do list.
And that's great.
Truly, it's it's
great that you're making
all of these positive changes.
[CHUCKLES]
It just really sucks
that you're doing it now
and so easily without me.
Look, it sucks that it it took
a machine and some other woman
for you to start doing things
that I've been wanting
you to do for years.
But that's what we
decided to do together.
[CHUCKLES] I'm just doing
exactly what we set out to do.
And where is it going?
- How do [STAMMERS] How do you mean?
- With Alice.
Where is that going?
You are either leading her
on or you are leading me on.
Either way, it feels pretty shitty.
Cass.
[JACOB] I guess new people probably
aren't any better than old ones.
I'll bet they almost never are.
Emily, I feel that you're
as good a friend as I've got.

Burns out.
And all that time they
get slowly indifferent
to what's going on in Grover's Corners.
Hmm.
They're waiting.
They're waiting for something
they feel is is coming.
They're waiting for something
important or something great.
Aren't they waiting for the
eternal part in them to come out

- [FAN LAUGHS]
- [SIGHS] Wow.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
Excuse me, everybody. I
got something I need to say.
Hey, Father Reuben.
Are you responsible for introducing
wrestling into a classic play?
How dare you make a
mockery of the estate
of the late, great Thornton Wilder!
- What is he doing?
- I have absolutely no idea.
Wha
- This is so bizarre.
- [CHUCKLES]
On behalf of every parent
and future stepparent here tonight,
I am here to defend
the traditional theatrical experience
by taking you down, Father Reuben.

Ooh, smells good.
- [REUBEN GRUNTS]
- [GRUNTS]
Whoo!
[BOTH GRUNTING, GROANING]
Oh, my
[CHEERING]
[EXCLAIMS, GRUNTS]
Whoo!
[GIORGIO GRUNTS, STAMMERS]

Giorgio is down and out. And
Father Reuben's going to the top.
[CHEERING CONTINUES]
If he drops that elbow, it's all over.
[AUDIENCE] Drop, drop,
drop, drop, drop, drop, drop!
[FATHER REUBEN] And this machine,
whether it's magic or not, is
reminding people that our lives
have more than one possible path.
[CHEERING CONTINUES]
[FATHER REUBEN] Which
is scary. [CHUCKLES]
The same way as it's scary to
walk to the edge of a cliff.
Because you already know that you
could stay exactly where you are,
or you could
throw yourself off
into the deep unknown.
[CHEERING CONTINUES]
And you know
it's up to you.
- [GRUNTS, BREATHES HEAVILY]
- [WHISTLE BLOWING]
[CHEERING]
Yeah!
- [CHUCKLES]
- Yeah, Father, I love you.
Thank you, man. I love you too.
[PANTING]
Hey, that was amazing.
- [AUDIENCE CHEERING]
- [GASPS]
- [WHISTLE BLOWING]
- This guy!
I was just bringing you a
bottle of water, but okay.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
[GASPS]
Yeah! Yeah!
[LAUGHS]
Okay, thespians!
You guys were all superstars out
there tonight. We killed it, baby.
"We" killed it?
You killed it, Tri. And I
killed it by being humble.
Y'all know I could have
beat Father Reuben, right?
But my role is merely to serve.
Come on, everybody.
Grab a slice of pizza.
I got veggie, pepperoni
here. The Axman has cheese.
Yep. Nice.
Nice.
Congratulations on an epic performance.
I almost believed you could
actually beat someone up.
- Thanks. Same.
- [CHUCKLES]
You do realize you just gave
me the best slice, right?
Like, even proportion on all
the toppings, air bubbles.
- [CLICKS TONGUE]
- Of course I gave you the best slice.
Okay. Sweet.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Just so you know,
I'd give you the best
slice too because
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
You love me.
Yeah. How did you
Because I love you too.
[CHUCKLES]
- Holy shit. This is great.
- [CHUCKLES]
Okay. We just said that.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Wow.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Okay. [BREATHES DEEPLY]
I feel like my butt just
unclenched for the first time today.
That's really hot.
[CHUCKLES] Is it?
- Yes. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]
[CHUCKLES]
Thank you so much for coming.
I'm sure Trina will be out in a minute.
Hmm.
Cass, hey. I, um
I think that we should end
the self-ploration early.
Like, right now.
I think we both got great things
from our little experiment.
But if anyone's getting hurt in this,
then shouldn't we just wrap it up?
[STAMMERS] Okay, Dusty. Look,
this isn't what I was asking for.
No, I-I I know you weren't, but I
I do think it's for the best, don't you?
- Yeah. I mean, I just [STAMMERS]
- [TRINA] Hey, guys.
- [CASS] Yeah, hey!
- [TRINA] What did we think?
- [SQUEALS]
- [DUSTY] Hey. Wow. There she is.
[GASPS] Trina. Jacob. Oh, my gosh.
Honey, how did you even do that?
- I don't know.
- You both were so good.
Thanks.
Um, s-so a bunch of us are going for
ice cream, if you guys wanna join.
[STAMMERS] Ice cream sounds
great. Let's all go together.
Really?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
- [TRINA] Yay. Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
- [CASS] Whoo-hoo! Come on, come on.
- [TRINA] Mom, wait. What's happening?
[TRINA, CASS CHATTERING, LAUGHING]
["ANOTHER TIME" PLAYING]
Yeah. Okay.
