You're using the new bread
when we haven't finished the old bread?
- I want fresh.
- Fine.
We'll just throw the
old bread away then.
Bye, money.
Mr. Fancy likes his fresh.
What are you even doing home right now?
Shouldn't you be at church?
Don't you have, like, a job to to to?
- They didn't need me to come in today.
- But you stayed home yesterday too.
Something going on at work, huh?
'Cause this, this is unusual.
No.
Yes. I got fired, okay?
Well, not fired. Let go.
What?
Why did they fire you?
They didn't fire
- I was let go.
- Why were you let go?
No reasons.
Just cutbacks.
You're doing cocaine
again, aren't you, Stephen?
- Don't lie to me!
- Always gotta find a way to bring that up.
Oh, my God, you are! That is it.
You are going straight back to rehab.
No! I'm never going back there.
I should have seen the
signs, your weird behavior.
Now, you're fired from church.
Then you said that mean
thing about my hair.
Oh, my God, again with the hair.
Please, we already
fought about the hair.
Look, I'm sorry I don't
like your haircut, okay?
It looks fucking stupid.
Get over it!
My hair is age appropriate, unlike you,
trying to look young with frosted tips.
You look old and desperate.
You're thinking you're some
hot rock star doing coke?
It's sad.
Fuck you.
Telling your wife "fuck you"
under your breath pathetic!
An unemployed, cokehead piece
of shit who sulks all day,
can't even support his kids.
But don't worry, he
still wears ripped jeans
and spends all day
learning Kings From Leon
like a goddamn teenage idiot.
You wanna push my buttons? Fine.
Let me tell it to you loud
and clear so you can hear me.
Fuck you!
[GLASS BREAKING]
[SCREAMS] Daddy!
[GROANS] I'm okay.
I'm okay. Honey, it's okay.
Ow, fuck!

Gideon, when did you even

- Not in this house, I pray.
- No.
You're in the clear, Mommy.
I picked it up on set.
I'm not happy that you're hurt,
but I am glad that you
are no longer hanging out
with these types of people.
You need to quit smoking,
and your sarcasm needs
to go right along with it.
Calling me Mommy?
- No, sir.
- Sorry.
I don't I don't know
why I've been doing that.
Look, buddy, we need a favor from you.
You need to start
pitching in, especially
since you're just sitting
on your ass all day,
- not doing movies anymore.
- Dad, I don't want to preach.
Well, I'm not asking you
to preach, so in your face.
I need you to fill in
for my daddy's driver.
I'm sick and tired of seeing you
moping around the house all day,
pretending like you're fucking born
on the Fourth of July or something.
Well, I'm sitting around
'cause I've been seriously injured.
And if it seems like I'm moping,
it's because I am moping.
I can't do anything.
I can't ride bikes. I
can't do my martial arts.
I may I may never do stunts again.
BOTH: Aw.
- You're never going to do stunts again?
- You're never going to do stunts again?
Look, buddy, we're not
trying to belittle you here,
but this might be what you need.
You know, get out in the world,
run your granddaddy around
to get his meds, get
his prostate checked
it could take your mind off of shit.
How often is he getting
his prostate checked?
- Bunches.
- A lot of times.
- It gets bigger.
- Look, whether you wanna do it
or don't, you're doing it,
so don't be a little bitch about it.

What's up with your face?
My wife laid these colors down.
God dang. What happened?
Well, I told her I got fired
but couldn't tell her why.
She thinks I'm back on coke.
That's great news.
She's demanding I go back to rehab.
It's all fucked!
Hey. [SNAPS] Earth to Stephen,
come back from outer
space and calm down.
Look, don't you think I've
thought about all this?
I have.
That's why I'm prepared
to give you $10,000.
And that's mostly in small bills, $20s,
because I figured you'd want to buy
gas station snacks with it.
So this is fuck-off money?
A little bit, maybe. Kind of.
I'm not giving up that easy
and letting the other guy win.
- What other guy?
- Your husband.
- I'm willing to fight for you.

Stephen, you have a wife.
You have kids.
Me and you?
We haven't even shit

I'd murder them.

- All good?
Yeah, you're good. Put your signal on.
I don't even know why we
came all the way out here.
We hate Montgomerys.
Here we are, doing a damn wellness
check for our sworn enemies.
Mama wouldn't like it,
I'll tell you that much.
She'd say fuck these inbred weirdos.
Your mom would never say
anything like that about your cousins.
I always found them to be
kind of dumb and strange.
That's why I'm surprised you
weren't butt buddies with them.

- Yeah, okay.
Why don't you go back on tour then, huh?

Hi, Uncle Eli.

good afternoon, sir.
Cousins.
Got the whole family here.
To what do we owe the pleasure?
I don't suppose that my

had anything to do with this visit?
She may have asked me
to check up on the boys,

I'd say we're doing just fine.
- We doing fine, Karl?
- Yes, sir.
There you go. There you have it.
Yep. We're making up for lost time
now that Pa's back on the outside again.
Don't mean to be rude,
but we are congregating
for our afternoon service, so
Service? Are y'all doing church?
Why don't you let us pray with you?
- It's what we do.
- I got a good sermon in the chamber

- She can do a ditty.
- Yo, I'm happy to.
Karl's going to have to run

These people they're not

They are here to sell you something!
I know because I bought it once!
These are not people of God!
They're entertainers,
performers, charlatans!
When the end of times come,

To be honest with you,
I'm kind of embarrassed

Percy, if this is gonna
be our executive boardroom,
I feel like I'd like my
chair on, like, a platform
or raised or something, just so
I sit taller than those around me.
Ooh, Jesse, that's a really good idea.
- But my chair, too, though.
- Okay, fine.
Percy, can you make our
chairs taller than the rest?
What we're going for here
is that when people come in
to meet, that they feel less.
- Are you writing this down?
- Yes, boss.
Ah, Jesse and Kelvin.
Sorry to interrupt.
- Remodeling, are we?
- Yes, Martin.
Very important church

Martin, your penis is 22.82

Percy? [WHISTLES] Get

- Go. Skedaddle.
- Bye, Percy.
Go. Bye. Thanks.
- Which ministers?
- All of them.
They want to have a meeting
with the three of you.
Okay. Well, that could be
normal, right?
Well, they want to make
sure that the church is
headed in the right direction.
And we're supposed to
convince them of that?
As leaders of the church, yes.
That is expected.
- Sick. Sick.
- Cool. Yeah, very cool.
That's what's up. No doubt. For sure.
- Sick.
- Yes, it is sick.
It is also very bad news.

I am trying to relax, but
people keep bothering me.
Well, we understand you're trying
to get your chill on and catch
fishes, whatever this is here.
And we're not here to ask
you, you know, to do extra work
or to do any hand-holding.
It's just that the
ministers from the church
they'd like to have a sit down.
- What now?
- Martin says they're disgruntled.
Apparently, they liked it better
when you ran the church.
We were just wondering,
Daddy, if maybe, like,
you could talk to them or something.
I'm supposed to be retired.
Well, we understand that,
and I hope you know we are trying
very fucking hard not to
ruin this whole entire thing.
Truth be told, I don't
know how much help I can be.
World's a more cynical place
than when we were coming up.
People are ready to hate
excited to, even.

is that you all work this out together.

God, BJ, I'm just
when I was on tour, I
would call you and stuff,

were hard to navigate

Fuck, BJ.
I'm not trying to play the blame game.
I'm just stating that,
like, we took a break,
and now it's nice to
spend time together.

helping out at the church

Judy, no! Come on.
Please. Hey, guys, come back.
Come back, please.

- Oh, no, no, no, no.
Everyone, just calm down.
Calm down!
