MINDY: Where are you? Are you okay? Um, I don't think so, no.
Um, I could use a ride.
[APPLAUSE NEARBY.]
Um, Mindy, do you think maybe you could, um I don't know, just pick me up? TANYA: Damon? What are you doing here? Can I come inside for a second? [SIGHS.]
Your apartment's awesome.
[SOBBING.]
Thanks.
- Are you okay? - I'm sorry.
Uh, you wanna call your dad and see if he can come and get you.
Because DAMON: I came here to ask you something.
Can you, like, make me a better poet? You know, like, be my mentor? Why do you want me to be your mentor? Because you're kind of awesome.
[SIGHS.]
Damon, earlier tonight I hit a woman with a belt.
Okay? I took off my belt and I hit someone with it.
Over and over.
I hit my boss with a belt.
- Well, maybe she deserved it.
- No one deserves to be hit with a belt.
You invited me to your poetry thing and you helped me when I was tripping out on pot scones and I thought I was a fetus.
So you hit one lady over the head with a belt.
So what? [SIGHS.]
You changed my life.
Do you remember the first time that we met? You told me that I was funny.
I always thought that I was funny, but no one ever said it before.
It's like we're in Michigan and everyone else here is the same.
Except you.
[WHINES.]
Well, Ron, that's the thing about marriage.
And about women.
Whim and fancy.
Chicken and mole.
Man, on your big night.
Ouch.
That's rough.
I'm gonna get some beef jerky.
You want something? - No thanks.

Rice Krispie Treat, Twix bar, nothing? - Maybe a Twix bar.
- All right.
I didn't invite him to come with me.
He just He invited himself.
Oh, sure.
I'm sorry she left you stranded.
It's an awful thing to do.
To leave like that.
Just walk out.
I'll be okay.
But in a way I wish I could do the same thing.
Walk the fuck out.
My marriage is dead, Ron.
[SOBBING.]
I'm all alone all the time.
- Even when I'm not.
- So am I.
- Oh, Ron.
- Min Mindy! I don't wanna be stuck.
I don't wanna be alone anymore.
- Min.
- Oh, Ron.
I just I've always felt that there's something between you and me.
- Oh, Min - This just feels so easy and so right.
- Doesn't it? - Mindy.
Oh, Ron.

[KNOCKS.]
LENORE: No, I don't think you understand me clearly.
Where am I even calling? Is this India? Can I speak to your manager, please? Listen, I know your name is not John Smith.
It's Abdul or Sharif or Malik.
And you're in some call center in India.
So stop pretending your name is John and you're in Michigan and get me your manager.
Here.
That's a thousand dollars.
I gotta get to work.
A thousand? You're short.
A thousand's all I have, okay? You wanna see my bank statement? I need 500 more.
This is not a suggestion, Ray.
It's not pay-what-you-can.
Why don't you keep that as a parting gift? Oh, I'm sorry.
Are you going somewhere? Look, I I need to take a break.
A break from what? - From this business.
- Why, did your dick break? I need to make some changes in my life.
Oh, okay.
Go ahead and quit.
Go back to your tent.
Go back to being a nobody with your nobody friend Tanya.
- Leave Tanya out of it.
- Fuck Tanya.
She owes me a lot more than money.
I've got Liz booked this afternoon.
Are you gonna see her or not? What is going on, Ray? What is this about? - It's none of your business.
- Is this about Jessica? What, you think you're gonna get back together with her? She left you for a reason, Ray.
Maybe there's a reason she wants me back.
Why? You think you've changed and she's gonna come back to you? I don't need this.
And I don't need you.
And I am not a nobody.
I'm a father.
I'm a coach.
I'm a teacher.
And I used to be a pretty good husband.
And if I get another shot at it, I'm not gonna screw it up this time.
Hey, uh, Koontz.
Turn that off, will you? Hey, how are you? How's things? How are the, uh? How's the, uh? - I'm okay, Ray.

Thought I'd come to you first.
Better check with my wife.
TANYA: Frances! Please, Frances.
- Don't be frightened.
- Go away.
You're gonna have to run me over.
- I'm gonna call the police.
- Frances, I'm just here to apologize.
I don't care why you're here.
I'm going to church.
Frances, please, just give me - May I approach your window, please? - No.
- I'm asking permission.
- No.
I'm not here to scare or intimidate you or make you feel like you're being blackmailed.
I don't care why you're here.
I was wrong, all right? I'm guilty.
I'm gonna pay back every penny.
When you go to church, I hope you will pray for me.
But for right now, please, just for a moment may I approach your window just for a moment, please? Look, I know.
I know I've been a bully.
I have given you every reason not to like me but I'm not here to talk about me.
I'm here to talk about you and Mike.
Whenever I think of Mike, I think of you.
- I'm sorry.
- When you're my age and you meet someone and it turns out only to be a mirage Mike is not a mirage.
He's a nice man who He likes you so much.
- He would never do anything to hurt you.
- You don't understand.
I know I was paying for him.
Someday, he'll look at me and he'll remember.
I mean, what kind of woman is willing to pay for sex? What basis is that for a relationship? Frances, you just have to believe.
This man, he loves you.
Just believe that.
Frances, you and him, it's whatever you want it to be.
Jess.
After the awards Mindy tried to jerk me off.
She tried, I stopped her.
I took her hand and I pulled it out of my pants.
- What? - I said, "Mindy, I need you to stop.
" Mindy gave you a hand job? That's not the point.
The point is you went to see another dermatologist Mindy touched me they cancel each other out.
We're even-steven, right? No.
I need a break, Ron.
Me and the kids, my mom, we need to get away for a little while.
You know, I shouldn't have told you about the hand job.
[SCOFFS.]
It's not about the hand job, Ron.
Is that it? Is that what happens? I give you everything I have, and you leave? I can't live with you anymore.
Jess I forgive you.
If that's what you need, I will sleep on the couch I'll sleep in the garage.
- I just need you to think about it.
- I've thought about it a lot.
I've thought about it a lot.
[LAUGHING AND CHATTERING.]
RAY: The players got that look.
The playoffs.
What the season's been about.
Now it's here.
They didn't make it by themselves, Mike.
Our guys got there because you and me well, we care a little bit more than the rest of them.
We got Hunter, round one.
That's a tough team.
What do you think? Ray, I'm sitting here because this is still my desk.
And right now it's the best place for me to go.
Okay.
Third baseman's the only real bat they've got.
We pitch around him, we'll be fine.
What else you got for me? Mike, I fucked up.
I had no idea what was going on.
But I do know [SIGHS.]
you were happy.
You shouldn't let that slip away.
RAY: Hey.
- Thanks for coming, Jess.
- What are you doing, Ray? RAY: Ah, you were right.
I grew up here.
So what? - What? - I'm selling the house.
Ray, you love this house.
I know, but I'm gonna get another house.
A bigger one, a better one.
It might not be by the lake, but Ray, I have to tell you something.
I have to tell you something too.
Last night in the lake, in the tent I don't want that to stop.
And I don't want you to go away.
I don't want you to forget about it or pretend it never happened.
I don't know what I'm doing but I do know I was happiest with you, so I'm asking: What do I do? Tell me what to do to get you back.
- Just say it and I'll do it.
- It's not about that.
[SIGHS.]
I was with you for 20 years.
I I love you.
I know you, but I can't be with you right now.
I can't just go from man to man.
I have to be on my own for a little while.
Say okay, Ray.
Say good luck.
Say you're proud of me.
Did Lenore talk to you? Uh, I have to go.
Mom? Wow.
New office.
It's big.
You got The Seventh Seal framed.
What do you care? It went right over your head.
Mom, I was 10.
You took me to see The Seventh Seal when I was 10.
Some parents never take their children anywhere.
What do you want, Tanya? Uh, Mom, I'm sorry, I need to ask you a favor.
Just will you hear me out before you say no? [TANYA SIGHS.]
I need to get the necklace back.
The gift? And, um, I need to get the money back from Marvin too.
He He offered to pay.
Do you remember? You wanna be reimbursed for my dinner? Mom, I know.
I'm sorry.
Look, you were right.
I can't afford it.
But, uh, please, I need the money.
[VERA-JOAN CLEARS THROAT.]
Howard, it's, uh a little low.
- It's cash, Ray.
My house is worth twice this.
Nobody can get a loan these days, Ray.
Everything's crashing.
We save on broker fees.
I'll write you a check.
What do you say? I'll get back to you.
DAMON: You can't sell the house, Dad.
- I'll get another one.
- Yeah, but we like this house.
You'll have your own rooms.
Why can't you just finish fixing this one, like you promised? - We're like orphans.
- You're not orphans, guys.
Orphans don't have parents.
You have two great parents.
- Then we're homeless.
- Homeless orphans.
This sucks.
You're not homeless.
I have a home and I'll have another home soon.
Yeah, but right now we're living in a hotel and we left all of our stuff at Ronnie's.
He's probably, like, in my room right now touching all my stuff.
- Sniffing it.
- Guys, knock it off, will you? Your mother needs her space right now and you need to support that.
She needs space from that weirdo Lenore.
I mean, why is she always around? Well, she's not around right now.
Right now it's just the three of us, right? And, uh, we've got hamburgers and hot dogs.
Okay? Who's hungry? Dad, did you invite Tanya? - Hi.
DAMON: Hey.
We're having a barbecue.
Yeah, great.
Ahem.
It smells great.
Um, can I talk to you for a second? Take over, will you? I'll be right back.
So I I got the money, Ray.
I got it all back and I'm giving it to Frances.
- That's not good enough.
- No, I know.
I know.
- I trusted you.
- Look, I fucked up, okay? I fucked up.
I don't know, I just, uh I didn't do any of it to hurt you or Mike or Frances or anyone.
I just got off track.
I don't I don't I don't even know what happened.
[SOBBING.]
Look, I just I need you to forgive me, okay? That is so fucked up.
Come here.
Come on.
What, are you gonna drown me in the lake? I'd understand if you did.
Or if you wanted to.
RAY: I don't.
- Where are we going? RAY: Shh.
This is my favorite place in the world.
So, uh So that's it? You're gonna be with Lenore now for good? I don't know.
I told her I quit.
- You did? - Yeah.
How did that go over? Ah, you know, it's Lenore.
How do you think? Ah, you know.
I think I'm still in love with my ex-wife.
But I got no money, she's best friends with Lenore - How am I supposed to get her back? - Maybe I could help.
- You wanna help me get my wife back? - I could try.
I know a lot about women.
Yeah, okay, Tanya.
Come on, Ray, we've made women happy, right? With Happiness Consultants.
Until we forgot the happiness part.
You think? We could do it again, if you wanted.
Can I stay for the barbecue? Okay.
RAY: I remember the day we moved in.
I was 6 years old.
I thought it was the greatest house I'd ever seen and I was the luckiest kid in Detroit.
It was time to get lucky again.
