Ballers (2015) s03e04 Episode Script
Ride and Die
1 SPENCER STRASMORE: We have Wayne Hastings in our corner, we have the entire city of Las Vegas on our side.
Off-off the record? I'd say, "watch your ass.
" (HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING) When there's this much money at stake, it makes sense to edit your social circle.
Did you get Reggie and Vernon out of the weed business? (COUGHING) I can't really hear you.
You are the father.
You can't prove that till it's born.
The baby was conceived the first day we hooked up.
SPENCER: I bring football to these fans, it's gonna mean the world to them.
CANDACE: Why risk everything you've built? Sounds like you're trying to discourage me.
I just wanna know if you're an enemy of the league.
Kane is in the building, nigga (MUSIC PLAYING) Now tell me how you love it, you know you at the top When only heaven's right above it, we on 'Cause we on Who else is really trying to fuck with Hollywood Cole? I'm with Marley G, bro Flying Hollygrove chicks to my Hollywood shows And I wanna tell you something that you probably should know This that "Slumdog Millionaire" Bollywood flow And, uh My real friends never hearing from me Fake friends write the wrong answers on the mirror for me That's why I pick and choose, I don't get shit confused Don't like my women single, I like my chicks in twos And these days all the girls is down to roll I hit the strip club and all them bitches find the pole Plus, I been sippin', so this shit is moving kinda slow Just tell my girl to tell her friend that it's time to go.
- sync and correcrions by Mr.
C - - How about now? - No, still too dark.
I can barely see you.
I know, I'm trying to keep it mysterious.
Okay, so I can roll around in lingerie, but I don't get to see you jerk it? - All right.
- Well, listen, first of all, baby, you're gonna ruin the whole romantic thing that's happening now, and, believe me, the last thing you wanna do is see me in all my shame.
Do not be ashamed, okay? I am so proud of you.
What you are doing is proactive.
- Okay.
- Checking to see if you can reproduce even when you have no intention of doing so anytime in the near future, that shows maturity.
Yeah, listen, honey, I gotta tell you, I really appreciate the support.
It means a lot to me.
Uh, but what would also mean a lot to me is if you take your perfectly round, beautiful ass and hike it in the air.
(CHUCKLES) Like this? Just like that.
Damn, don't move.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) Um, did you just take a screen grab? No! Why would I take a screen grab of you? I got the real thing.
Come on.
Okay.
Don't get lube all over your phone.
Hike your ass up, please? God damn.
Sexy, yes.
Just a little bit more.
Arch your back.
Fuck.
Damn! Tom and Gisele floating on a 300-footer in Saint-Tropez.
Man, that's a long-ass way from that raft we used to float on at Jim McMahon's aboveground pool.
Where you see that? Where I see everything 'Gram.
You follow Tom Brady? Just so I don't look like a creep following his wife.
Plus, he only posts pictures of him practicing and wearing them ugly-ass Uggs.
Wait, I can't believe they let your old ass on the 'Gram, Dennis.
Motherfucker, there's no age limit looking at fine-ass women.
Is this you with all the Pam Grier pics? That's my Woman Crush Wednesday every day.
Because she ain't no Ashley Graham.
And I hate to break it to you, but she ain't looking like this anymore.
Hey, careful, boy.
That's my girl.
And FYI, she's still fine as fuck, all right? - Fine - BOTH: As fuck! Look at Tommy.
This is what I'm saying.
"Practicing with my boys, Edelman, Gronk, and Amendola.
" - God.
- And when was that? Yesterday.
What? Get the fuck out of here.
- (DOORBELL DINGS) - Oh, shit, I'll get that.
These motherfuckers practicing without me.
(SIGHS) Come on, Ricky, they in Boston, man.
Well, shit, Edelman lives in LA and Gronk lives here in Miami.
Last time I checked, Amendola was in Botswana.
Yet, they get the call and I get the proverbial stiff arm? - Yeah, yeah, you're right.
- That's bullshit.
You're right, you're right.
Fuck Brady.
Fuck him.
I'ma unfollow his ass any motherfucking way.
You know what? I'ma set up a practice of my own.
Just fucking go to hey, T! - Yeah? - Grab me a group together.
And not that busted-ass quarterback from last time, all right? Who, JaMarcus? He used to play for the Raiders.
- Who the roses from? - Amber.
Damn, those are nice.
Must be her apology for yesterday's behavior.
Nigga, you sent these to Amber to apologize to her.
She just sent them back.
- I did? - Yeah, you had me do it.
Wait, you don't remember this? Oh, yeah.
It's still nice, though.
What kind of red is this? Rose red? I don't "Are you an enemy of the league?" What does that even mean? Well, it's a threat, Joe.
I mean, it's really fucking subtle, but it's still a threat.
Well, they can't do shit to us.
Actually, they could ass-fuck us multiple ways, starting with our registration.
- No, they couldn't.
- They can and they will.
- Well, that would suck.
- Yep.
They could also take away that ASM box we have at the Dolphins' game, too.
- Oh, I love that box.
- Yeah, so do I.
It's also a matter of credibility.
The league can go after that, too.
Let me tell you something, for two guys who didn't start off with a lot of that, we don't have shit to spare.
What's their fucking problem with you anyway? It's an old boys' club, Joe, all right? I ain't old enough, I ain't white enough, and I sure as fuck ain't clean enough, and neither are you.
What about the Raiders? Are they a lock? Nothing's a lock.
Tim Brown said that he was gonna back channel for us, but we both know that words without actions, that doesn't amount to shit.
Is my hungover brain playing a trick on me or is the legendary maverick Spencer Strasmore second-guessing himself? It's called pragmatism, Joe.
Oh, yeah, you pragmatic? (CHUCKLES) Oh, that's a new one.
Virginia, he just called himself pragmatic.
I am, and let me tell you something, it's not a me thing; it's a we thing, okay? I need you to know you go in on this, shit could get pretty steep.
Why are you such a masochist, man, huh? We got a great business going here.
I'll give you two billion reasons why.
No.
No, no, no.
That's not you.
That's the way I would do it, sure, but you've never been just about the bucks.
Okay, how about paying back Ricky and Vernon? Good, honorable.
I like that one.
Usually, that would stick, but I don't believe you.
How about this one? Fuck the powers that be.
Huh, there he is.
Vintage Spencer Strasmore.
I'm all about good over evil, Joe.
Mm-hmm, but just so I know in this particular scenario, - are we the good or are we the evil? - We're always the good.
Against the evil empire, we are always the good.
Yeah, and who are they to say we can't carve out our slice of the American dream, huh? I'm a capitalist.
I don't kowtow to threats.
Fuck the evil empire.
They can't stop me from retiring at 40.
Uh, you're past 40, Joe.
That's why they can't stop me.
(PHONE RINGING) (CLEARS THROAT) Joe Krutel.
For a little guy, you've got some big balls.
Hey, good to hear from you again.
How's the family vacay going? None of your business.
What is your business is Vernon.
And apparently, you didn't take care of business very well.
- I'm sorry, come again? - I didn't come a first time.
You said you had Vernon under control.
Do you know he converted his endorsement money into ownership in a grow house? Ownership? That's something I know something about, Joe.
Uh, I have no idea why they think that would be okay.
It's totally unacceptable.
I appreciate your concurrence, Joe.
Tell your client I'm cutting him.
Boys, knock it off! (GASPS) Hey.
(CLEARS THROAT) I'm gonna share something with you and I hope you will be as supportive of me as I've been of you this morning.
Kisan Teague has the kind of talent that can take our offense over the top and finally turn the negativity around.
- I'm listening.
- Yeah, but you're not looking at me.
That's 'cause I don't wanna see your silly grin while you pitch.
Now, continue.
Look, Teague has breakaway speed to spare and durability.
(CHUCKLES) Now, that is one lethal combination.
Lethal? That is an interesting choice of words when describing Kisan Teague.
Let me ask you this.
Do you think he's a good person? A good person? I believe he can be.
Besides, who are we to judge? We all sin.
I'll answer for you, Charles.
He can be a good person, but he chooses not to be.
How's Kisan any different than dealing with Sutton or Jared? We don't need any more distractions, Charles.
- We need a title.
- And Teague can help us get there, sir.
- I really believe that.
- The answer is no, Charles.
But it was a very impassioned pitch, so je vous remercie.
Means "thank you" in French.
- (INTERCOM BEEPS) - WOMAN: Jason Antolotti on one.
- (BEEPS) - Good morning, Jason.
I'm here with Charles Greane.
Larry, Chuck, let's talk Teague.
- Way ahead of you, J.
Been trying to - Go on, Jason.
Look, you guys need a division title and my man will deliver like Amazon, all right? He's got breakaway speed, durability out the ass.
He will finally put your offense over the top.
I think you might be right.
- Can I see him work out? - Absolutely.
I'm gonna coordinate that with you, Charles.
- Thank you, Larry.
- LARRY: Don't mention it.
Sorry, babe, we gotta stick a pin in brunch.
Fuck me and not feed me? Fuck you.
We'll eat quick.
Come on, I want stone crabs.
I don't get it.
Jason just said the same thing I did.
He said it better, Charles.
Be grateful.
You may not have got it the way you wanted it, but you got it nonetheless.
Now go coordinate.
- (HORSE NEIGHS) - I spent 250,000 on American Pharoah's supersonic splooge.
You better deliver me the next Secretariat or you'll be shoveling the most colossal mountain of horse shit you've ever seen, okay? - (PHONE RINGING) - Giddy up.
Hey, I'm seeing you at the stable in 30, right? Yeah, listen, Wayne, I just have to push that back by a few, okay? Hey, Reggie, put Vernon on the phone, please? - WAYNE: How few is a few? - Just a few hours.
- I just gotta put out a fire for a client.
- Can we talk about that later? - This is more important.
- WAYNE: I thought you were gonna tell me it was something important, like a testicular cancer scare.
No, not that important, but still nonetheless, it's important.
More important than bringing your team to Vegas? I only stuck around for this lunch, Spencer.
I'm heading back to LV today.
Jet is washed and the Joe's Stones are on ice.
Vern, what's up? Wish I had better news.
Wayne, yeah, I understand.
I get it, it's only a onetime pass.
- Yeah, it happened again.
- It's not gonna happen again.
Yeah, he's more than a little upset, Vernon.
- Wayne, hold on one second.
- He's cutting you.
Cutting me or cut me? What tense did he use? What the fuck does it matter what tense he used, Vernon? - Jesus Christ.
Come on.
- You didn't listen.
What the fuck are we gonna do, Joe? Me and Spencer are heading there now.
We are gonna beg for mercy.
You are gonna fucking divest yourself of the entire weed business ASAP, you hear me? First off, calm the fuck down when you talk to us, man.
We ain't done nothing that wasn't in accordance with Colorado state law.
Reggie, please stop talking.
Hey, yo, man, the NFL ain't the motherfucking Constitution of the United States of America, Joe.
No, it's more fucking important, Reggie, you fucking moron! Jesus.
Calm down.
Reggie, listen, it's Spencer.
Vernon is getting out of the fucking weed business, - you hear me? - No, fuck you.
Shut the fuck up! You hear me, Reggie, you motherfucker?! You're out of the fucking weed business.
- Fuck him! - Whoa, what the fuck? What? God damn it.
Listen, I'm sorry.
- I thought it was my phone, okay? - It wasn't.
- Okay, calm yourself.
This is Wayne.
- Oh.
Hey, buddy, still there? Bomb fuse has been lit, Spencer, and the timer started.
You got two hours.
- Fuck me! - Yeah, fuck you! You owe me a new fucking phone.
I got your phone.
I'll buy you a phone.
Okay.
- (MUSIC PLAYING) - (CHATTER) Oh, there's Ms.
Bossman.
(CHUCKLES) Wow.
WAGs for the guys in the front office, too, huh? - Dallas does it right.
- (CHUCKLES) - Spencer.
- Hey, Tanya.
- You look beautiful as always.
- (KISSES) - What are you doing here? - Well, I heard a couple of my friends were vacationing in my neck of the woods, I thought I'd come by.
Yeah, and I grew up nearby.
Might pop into my mom.
Tanya, my business partner, Joe Krutel.
- Hi, Joe.
- Hi.
Boys are getting big.
Ah, yeah.
Henry is already 6'1" and he's only in middle school.
They grow 'em big like that in Texas.
When are you gonna make some? It's such a shame to waste those genetics.
Yeah, I am working on it.
Tanya, where is, uh where is your husband? - You just missed him.
- Where'd he go? Over there, massage.
Something really got under his skin this morning.
Said he needed extra pressure.
Huh, wonder what that could be.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, what could possibly make you upset in a paradise like this, right? He could find a way, trust me.
But stick around.
He shouldn't be that long.
Besides, seeing you will make him feel better.
Ah, well, I doubt that.
- You got that whole lease thing.
- Right, right, right.
Welcome, Kisan.
I'm Charles Greane, assistant general manager.
- Great to have you.
- Indeed.
Appreciate it.
What up, man? You ready to make us look good? Yeah, man, better than you already look.
- And you a handsome man.
- (CHUCKLES) My dude.
Hey, hey, hey.
You dandelions gonna run some drills or you gonna stand there circle jerking? Man, I was born to run, Coach.
You know that.
- My man make you say Bo looks slow.
- (SNAPS FINGERS) Why are we still talking? You should be running.
Lace them the fuck up.
Come on, I'll show you the locker room.
Let's go.
- Right.
- (PHONE BUZZING) - KISAN: The man is clowning, right? - MAN: No joke.
MAN: Come on, fellas, swivel heads, now.
- Swivel heads, let's go! - MAN #2: Come on, guys.
Catch the ball! - (WHISTLE TRILLING) - MAN: Third and goal.
Third and goal! MAN #3: Throw it! Throw it! I'm open! (ENGINE TURNS OFF) What the Amber, where are you going? It don't matter where I'm going.
What's important is that you won't be there.
You think I'm gonna just let you leave with my baby? It ain't your choice.
I don't need your permission.
- Shit.
- I especially don't need your money.
Can you move? And you know what? I damn sure don't need them damn flowers, so you can send those back to one of your other randoms.
You can't do this.
I got rights.
- I could do something about this shit.
- Boy, please.
The only rights that are important are a woman's right to choose, and I choose a life without you.
Come on, Amber, that's cold, now.
- You wanna know what's cold? - What? - The truth.
- Well, what's the truth? (SCOFFS) Truth is you old as dirt for a wide receiver.
I mean, maybe you have a couple of seasons left at best, but after that, who are you, hmm? Just some lonely-ass, busted ex-football player with a couple of bucks.
- Well, you wanna know the truth I see? - Yeah.
Yeah, what truth you see? Tell me.
Hmm? - I ain't even gonna say it.
- Yeah, 'cause you're chicken shit.
Look, 'cause I'm a gentleman, that's why.
'Cause you have nothing on me other than I was stupid enough to sleep with your sorry ass.
You really going for it today, huh? Well done.
I'm just keeping it real, Rick, just like you taught me.
So, if you don't mind, I have some packing to do.
Oh, you know what? Can you put this on the truck for me on your way out? Thank you.
Uh Hey, I'm gonna have the tuna tartare, and can you have 'em throw a fried egg on it? Okay, fuck me, huh? Two hours late for the biggest meeting of our lives.
We got Bossman in the cabana getting his balls rubbed, and you're out here asking for the fucking tartare? You know the surgeon general just said that stress is more dangerous than smoking? Maybe you should think about that.
We miss Wayne, we're fucked.
Oh, there he is.
It's about fucking time.
Look at him saunter.
God, that must have been some release, huh? Oh, all right here we go.
(CHUCKLING) Long way from home, Dorothys.
I'm gonna need you to reconsider cutting Vernon.
I've been spending far too much time and getting far too little in returns, Spencer.
I know I said this before, but this time, it's guaranteed.
Vernon's out of the weed business.
Nothing like getting a guarantee for the second time.
Ah, no, that first time was a promise.
This is a guarantee.
Totally different thing.
Bossman, come on, he's a good kid.
Hell, I know he is.
I'm actually quite fond of him.
Do you gentlemen have any idea how difficult it is to operate the greatest brand in sports? You own the New England Patriots, too? I'm totally kidding.
No, we don't.
People are always looking for new ways to knock us down.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, I can relate to that one.
Hmm, some would say you have it coming, though.
Word is you've been sniffing in the tall weeds with a short snout.
I'm not quite too sure what that even means.
Me either.
I've never heard that one, no.
Spencer, if you don't wanna admit what you're doing, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Bossman, I'm not afraid to talk about anything.
I just thought that that kind of transparency between you and I would put you in an awkward position with the league.
Let me worry about what position I'm in.
Fine, it's true.
I'm guilty of sniffing in the tall weeds.
With a short snout.
I wanna bring a team to Vegas.
Reaching for the brass ring, huh? Well, admittedly, it's a little outside of my expertise, but, yes.
I always knew you had big balls, Spencer, but I didn't know your judgment was this questionable.
How do you figure? The league's just approved you and you're already biting its hand? Didn't even call for approval? That's just plain wrong.
The upside's worth it.
I suppose we'll see.
The way I see it, there's only one way to take a team to Vegas, and that's big, even by Texas standards.
That's the only way we do it.
Big takes vision, Spencer.
Do you have a vision? I do.
But even if I didn't, Wayne Hastings does.
- Wayne Hastings, huh? - Yeah.
Well, that boy there's a proven visionary.
He's like the me of Vegas.
- Oh, you're more handsome.
- I could use your support and definitely your wisdom to get this whole thing done.
Yeah, approval comes through Texas.
Everybody knows that.
And how far in is Wayne? Balls deep, spearheading the whole thing.
- Well, I like that.
- JOE: Yeah, we do, too.
Now, uh, can we please get back to this Vernon situation? Hmm, let me go put some clothes on first.
- He wants to put clothes on.
- A robe counts as clothes.
TTD: Here we go, Rick.
You got him.
- MAN: Go! - RICKY: You got him.
Come on, he gained too much space.
Look at that route.
- What the hell was that? - One, two, three, throw.
He got it.
He's nervous, man.
You're Ricky Jerret.
TTD: Off the line, got him.
Do it! Oh, my God.
Damn! TTD: Bam! He done, he done.
There it is.
There it is.
- What the fuck? - Come on! Down, set, go! TTD: There it is, right there.
Put it on, quarterback! Aw, shit! Man, chase his ass.
Chase him.
- Get him! What are you smiling for? - Dude, run! Y'all take five.
Good play.
Take five.
- Come here.
- Where the hell are you throwing? Sorry, Rick.
You know what a skinny post is? Why the fuck are you throwing it so high, man, and behind me? Man, we don't even call plays at my school.
School? What you you in what school you go to? - Miami-Dade High.
- You in high school? - Get the fuck out of here.
- Really? I'ma really kick your ass if you don't get to step get out of here.
T, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
We got Amendola, Gronk, and Edelman working with Brady.
You got me out here with Matthew Stafford's little brother.
That's all I can get on such short notice.
- What do you want me to do? - Collect them cones and pay little Stafford his beer money.
I'm taking a motherfucking Uber home.
I hate you right now.
You embarrassed me out there.
Your ass ain't getting paid.
Move it on, the music (WHISTLE TRILLS) MAN: Down, set, go.
Get down, get there, baby Get on down - (WHISTLE TRILLS) - (MUSIC CONTINUES) Do it, all right Whoo! 4.
30.
Your boy can still run.
Would I waste your time if he couldn't? - Wow.
- What's the verdict? - I want him.
- CHARLES: Oh, yeah.
Hey, Mr.
Siefert.
- Mr.
Siefert? - Mr.
Siefert's your problem now.
Fucking deal with it.
(CHUCKLES) Man, don't sweat it, Chuck.
That's just Larry negotiating.
He - (JACKHAMMER RATTLING) - God damn.
How much longer? (HORNS HONKING) Oh, fuck, according to Waze, an hour.
Fucking hour? It's a quarter of a mile.
Dude, welcome to Miami construction.
Should we call Wayne and tell him we're gonna be late? No.
Fuck, no.
Not a fucking chance.
(SIGHS) Well, what about Vern? We should call him, right? Give him the good news? No, fuck that.
Let that motherfucker sweat it out - like I'm fucking sweating it out.
- (SIGHS) - Fuck! Let's go! - (HORN HONKS) - Should we be doing this, Spence? - Doing what? This, fucking any of this, poking the bear.
I mean, look at all the stress it's causing both of us.
- Are you stressed? - Am I? Are you fucking kidding me right now? My psoriasis, I can feel it fucking festering.
It moves around the body, you know.
I can feel it closing in on my nuts right now.
And after that conversation with the Bossman? I don't know, I'm starting to think maybe we are on the evil side of things here.
Maybe you're just not emotionally cut out for this, Joe.
Yeah, maybe.
And clearly, you're not either.
I ever tell you the story about my dad? What, your real dad or your adoptive dad? Asshole, my adoptive dad is my real dad.
Okay, okay, good.
I didn't wanna hear a story about you searching for your biological father.
- Shut the fuck up, Joe.
- Done.
Please continue.
My dad Carl was a loving man, tough man.
- Like you.
- Much more loving, much tougher.
He worked in the, uh in the mills in Bethlehem, all right? Provided a decent living.
He took care of us.
Supported us.
Nothing lavish.
Right.
So, one day, he gets a call into the big boss's office.
First time he's met him in 30 years.
So, what did the boss say? Nothing.
Nothing? What the fuck kind of story is this? You see, it's not about what the boss said; it's what he didn't say, Joe.
He didn't say anything interesting at all.
Huh.
So, after 30 years, my dad finally had a chance to sit across from the man who was running everything.
And you know what he saw? What? Nothing.
Nothing special.
My dad realized in that moment he could have been that guy sitting behind that desk.
But he realized it too late.
We're all just a bunch of guys, Joe.
Some of us believe that we could do anything.
And some of us believe we can't.
So, when you ask me why I wanna do this, my answer is because I know what guy I wanna be.
What about you? (CLEARS THROAT) I definitely don't wanna be the guy that just lets the clock run out, you know.
I definitely do not wanna be the guy who just sits there while time fucking stands still.
I wanna be the guy.
- The fucking guy? - Yeah! Yeah, the fucking guy.
Then let's get the fuck out of here.
(CHUCKLES) Holy shit.
- Let's get the fuck out of here.
- (CHUCKLES) (HORNS HONKING) I've been in the right place But it must have been the wrong time I'd have said the right thing But I must have used the wrong line CHARLES: Hey, Mr.
Siefert.
Hey, Mr.
Siefert, you gonna call Jason? No, you are, Charles.
This was all your idea.
- Well, what should I tell him? - I thought my lack of words said it all.
- But Kisan was great.
- Don't care.
I don't want him.
- Why the hell not? - 'Cause I don't trust him, that's why.
And you don't need to know what I'm gonna do, Charles, till after I do it.
So, you don't trust Kisan, you don't trust Berg, and you don't trust me, for that matter.
All the same now, Charles, but I'm talking about the player.
This ain't all about you.
When are you gonna realize that? Man, this is fucked.
You're gonna put politics over performance? You're gonna stand here and let your ego keep us from getting a player of Kisan's caliber? - Do you know what subtext is, Charles? - Yes, sir.
Good, then go fuck yourself.
And that is about you.
(MAN CHATTERING) - (DOOR CLOSES) - T! T, where are you at? T! - (LINE RINGING) - (PHONE RINGING) - Yo, what's up? - Yo, where are you at, man? - I'm at the house.
- Then why didn't you answer me? I just did! What's wrong with you? Man, where the gefilte fish at? It's in the fridge.
That shit's perishable once it's open.
They ain't in the fridge, man.
Hold on, man, I know I put that shit in the fridge 'cause don't nobody want no hot-ass gefilte fish.
Just like I said, right behind the peanut butter.
Ain't no peanut butter in here, man, just yogurt.
- Where the fuck are you, Ricky? - Where you think I am, man? I'm in the motherfucking kitchen, bro.
I'm in the kitchen.
I don't see your ass.
Hey, man.
Oh, God! Yo, TTD, call the cops.
There's a weird white kid in our house.
What house are you in, Rick? - Ricky? - Uh - Ricky? - Oh, shit.
- Ricky.
- BOY: I know who you are, asshole.
- You're not gonna get away with this.
- TTD, call Spencer.
(CAR ALARM CHIRPS) Wayne, Wayne! (PANTING) Wayne! Well, look what the breeze finally blew in.
Better late than never, though, right? Better never late is more like it.
I believe you two know each other.
- Sure do.
Hey, Spence.
- Hey, Chloe.
(PANTING) This is my partner, Joe.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
We'll be just a second, sir.
Wayne, look, just one drink, that's all I'm asking.
You showed me everything I needed to see, Spencer.
You're a good guy.
But if you can't make a lunch, how are you gonna move a team or build a stadium on schedule? Now, if you'll excuse me, we have a plane to catch.
You fly private, though, right? (LAUGHING) Yeah.
I mean, the plane leaves when you do.
Is that what you know from experience, Joe? It's something I've learned from my grotesquely irresponsible client roster.
SPENCER: Wayne, just one drink.
You're gonna wanna hear what I gotta say.
- What do you think? - (CAR ALARM CHIRPS) I'm actually curious.
(CHUCKLES) She's curious.
Tell me what it is you think I'm gonna wanna hear, Spencer.
I just met with the Cowboys.
- Underlings? - Bossman.
I was with him all day.
That's why I couldn't make the lunch.
- And? - And are you available to meet with him? He's ready to support our efforts.
Wayne, this is a meeting you are really going to enjoy.
The only one on this Earth who he admires just as much as himself is Wayne Hastings, Jr.
Junior.
(CHUCKLES) Huh.
Get the bags out of the car.
- Yeah.
- What? Huh.
Well, I'll I'll just go tell the hotel to get whatever douchebag they put in your suite okay, you can go do it, then.
Always use another night in Miami.
Yes, we could.
- (BOTH SIGH) - Fuck.

Off-off the record? I'd say, "watch your ass.
" (HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING) When there's this much money at stake, it makes sense to edit your social circle.
Did you get Reggie and Vernon out of the weed business? (COUGHING) I can't really hear you.
You are the father.
You can't prove that till it's born.
The baby was conceived the first day we hooked up.
SPENCER: I bring football to these fans, it's gonna mean the world to them.
CANDACE: Why risk everything you've built? Sounds like you're trying to discourage me.
I just wanna know if you're an enemy of the league.
Kane is in the building, nigga (MUSIC PLAYING) Now tell me how you love it, you know you at the top When only heaven's right above it, we on 'Cause we on Who else is really trying to fuck with Hollywood Cole? I'm with Marley G, bro Flying Hollygrove chicks to my Hollywood shows And I wanna tell you something that you probably should know This that "Slumdog Millionaire" Bollywood flow And, uh My real friends never hearing from me Fake friends write the wrong answers on the mirror for me That's why I pick and choose, I don't get shit confused Don't like my women single, I like my chicks in twos And these days all the girls is down to roll I hit the strip club and all them bitches find the pole Plus, I been sippin', so this shit is moving kinda slow Just tell my girl to tell her friend that it's time to go.
- sync and correcrions by Mr.
C - - How about now? - No, still too dark.
I can barely see you.
I know, I'm trying to keep it mysterious.
Okay, so I can roll around in lingerie, but I don't get to see you jerk it? - All right.
- Well, listen, first of all, baby, you're gonna ruin the whole romantic thing that's happening now, and, believe me, the last thing you wanna do is see me in all my shame.
Do not be ashamed, okay? I am so proud of you.
What you are doing is proactive.
- Okay.
- Checking to see if you can reproduce even when you have no intention of doing so anytime in the near future, that shows maturity.
Yeah, listen, honey, I gotta tell you, I really appreciate the support.
It means a lot to me.
Uh, but what would also mean a lot to me is if you take your perfectly round, beautiful ass and hike it in the air.
(CHUCKLES) Like this? Just like that.
Damn, don't move.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) Um, did you just take a screen grab? No! Why would I take a screen grab of you? I got the real thing.
Come on.
Okay.
Don't get lube all over your phone.
Hike your ass up, please? God damn.
Sexy, yes.
Just a little bit more.
Arch your back.
Fuck.
Damn! Tom and Gisele floating on a 300-footer in Saint-Tropez.
Man, that's a long-ass way from that raft we used to float on at Jim McMahon's aboveground pool.
Where you see that? Where I see everything 'Gram.
You follow Tom Brady? Just so I don't look like a creep following his wife.
Plus, he only posts pictures of him practicing and wearing them ugly-ass Uggs.
Wait, I can't believe they let your old ass on the 'Gram, Dennis.
Motherfucker, there's no age limit looking at fine-ass women.
Is this you with all the Pam Grier pics? That's my Woman Crush Wednesday every day.
Because she ain't no Ashley Graham.
And I hate to break it to you, but she ain't looking like this anymore.
Hey, careful, boy.
That's my girl.
And FYI, she's still fine as fuck, all right? - Fine - BOTH: As fuck! Look at Tommy.
This is what I'm saying.
"Practicing with my boys, Edelman, Gronk, and Amendola.
" - God.
- And when was that? Yesterday.
What? Get the fuck out of here.
- (DOORBELL DINGS) - Oh, shit, I'll get that.
These motherfuckers practicing without me.
(SIGHS) Come on, Ricky, they in Boston, man.
Well, shit, Edelman lives in LA and Gronk lives here in Miami.
Last time I checked, Amendola was in Botswana.
Yet, they get the call and I get the proverbial stiff arm? - Yeah, yeah, you're right.
- That's bullshit.
You're right, you're right.
Fuck Brady.
Fuck him.
I'ma unfollow his ass any motherfucking way.
You know what? I'ma set up a practice of my own.
Just fucking go to hey, T! - Yeah? - Grab me a group together.
And not that busted-ass quarterback from last time, all right? Who, JaMarcus? He used to play for the Raiders.
- Who the roses from? - Amber.
Damn, those are nice.
Must be her apology for yesterday's behavior.
Nigga, you sent these to Amber to apologize to her.
She just sent them back.
- I did? - Yeah, you had me do it.
Wait, you don't remember this? Oh, yeah.
It's still nice, though.
What kind of red is this? Rose red? I don't "Are you an enemy of the league?" What does that even mean? Well, it's a threat, Joe.
I mean, it's really fucking subtle, but it's still a threat.
Well, they can't do shit to us.
Actually, they could ass-fuck us multiple ways, starting with our registration.
- No, they couldn't.
- They can and they will.
- Well, that would suck.
- Yep.
They could also take away that ASM box we have at the Dolphins' game, too.
- Oh, I love that box.
- Yeah, so do I.
It's also a matter of credibility.
The league can go after that, too.
Let me tell you something, for two guys who didn't start off with a lot of that, we don't have shit to spare.
What's their fucking problem with you anyway? It's an old boys' club, Joe, all right? I ain't old enough, I ain't white enough, and I sure as fuck ain't clean enough, and neither are you.
What about the Raiders? Are they a lock? Nothing's a lock.
Tim Brown said that he was gonna back channel for us, but we both know that words without actions, that doesn't amount to shit.
Is my hungover brain playing a trick on me or is the legendary maverick Spencer Strasmore second-guessing himself? It's called pragmatism, Joe.
Oh, yeah, you pragmatic? (CHUCKLES) Oh, that's a new one.
Virginia, he just called himself pragmatic.
I am, and let me tell you something, it's not a me thing; it's a we thing, okay? I need you to know you go in on this, shit could get pretty steep.
Why are you such a masochist, man, huh? We got a great business going here.
I'll give you two billion reasons why.
No.
No, no, no.
That's not you.
That's the way I would do it, sure, but you've never been just about the bucks.
Okay, how about paying back Ricky and Vernon? Good, honorable.
I like that one.
Usually, that would stick, but I don't believe you.
How about this one? Fuck the powers that be.
Huh, there he is.
Vintage Spencer Strasmore.
I'm all about good over evil, Joe.
Mm-hmm, but just so I know in this particular scenario, - are we the good or are we the evil? - We're always the good.
Against the evil empire, we are always the good.
Yeah, and who are they to say we can't carve out our slice of the American dream, huh? I'm a capitalist.
I don't kowtow to threats.
Fuck the evil empire.
They can't stop me from retiring at 40.
Uh, you're past 40, Joe.
That's why they can't stop me.
(PHONE RINGING) (CLEARS THROAT) Joe Krutel.
For a little guy, you've got some big balls.
Hey, good to hear from you again.
How's the family vacay going? None of your business.
What is your business is Vernon.
And apparently, you didn't take care of business very well.
- I'm sorry, come again? - I didn't come a first time.
You said you had Vernon under control.
Do you know he converted his endorsement money into ownership in a grow house? Ownership? That's something I know something about, Joe.
Uh, I have no idea why they think that would be okay.
It's totally unacceptable.
I appreciate your concurrence, Joe.
Tell your client I'm cutting him.
Boys, knock it off! (GASPS) Hey.
(CLEARS THROAT) I'm gonna share something with you and I hope you will be as supportive of me as I've been of you this morning.
Kisan Teague has the kind of talent that can take our offense over the top and finally turn the negativity around.
- I'm listening.
- Yeah, but you're not looking at me.
That's 'cause I don't wanna see your silly grin while you pitch.
Now, continue.
Look, Teague has breakaway speed to spare and durability.
(CHUCKLES) Now, that is one lethal combination.
Lethal? That is an interesting choice of words when describing Kisan Teague.
Let me ask you this.
Do you think he's a good person? A good person? I believe he can be.
Besides, who are we to judge? We all sin.
I'll answer for you, Charles.
He can be a good person, but he chooses not to be.
How's Kisan any different than dealing with Sutton or Jared? We don't need any more distractions, Charles.
- We need a title.
- And Teague can help us get there, sir.
- I really believe that.
- The answer is no, Charles.
But it was a very impassioned pitch, so je vous remercie.
Means "thank you" in French.
- (INTERCOM BEEPS) - WOMAN: Jason Antolotti on one.
- (BEEPS) - Good morning, Jason.
I'm here with Charles Greane.
Larry, Chuck, let's talk Teague.
- Way ahead of you, J.
Been trying to - Go on, Jason.
Look, you guys need a division title and my man will deliver like Amazon, all right? He's got breakaway speed, durability out the ass.
He will finally put your offense over the top.
I think you might be right.
- Can I see him work out? - Absolutely.
I'm gonna coordinate that with you, Charles.
- Thank you, Larry.
- LARRY: Don't mention it.
Sorry, babe, we gotta stick a pin in brunch.
Fuck me and not feed me? Fuck you.
We'll eat quick.
Come on, I want stone crabs.
I don't get it.
Jason just said the same thing I did.
He said it better, Charles.
Be grateful.
You may not have got it the way you wanted it, but you got it nonetheless.
Now go coordinate.
- (HORSE NEIGHS) - I spent 250,000 on American Pharoah's supersonic splooge.
You better deliver me the next Secretariat or you'll be shoveling the most colossal mountain of horse shit you've ever seen, okay? - (PHONE RINGING) - Giddy up.
Hey, I'm seeing you at the stable in 30, right? Yeah, listen, Wayne, I just have to push that back by a few, okay? Hey, Reggie, put Vernon on the phone, please? - WAYNE: How few is a few? - Just a few hours.
- I just gotta put out a fire for a client.
- Can we talk about that later? - This is more important.
- WAYNE: I thought you were gonna tell me it was something important, like a testicular cancer scare.
No, not that important, but still nonetheless, it's important.
More important than bringing your team to Vegas? I only stuck around for this lunch, Spencer.
I'm heading back to LV today.
Jet is washed and the Joe's Stones are on ice.
Vern, what's up? Wish I had better news.
Wayne, yeah, I understand.
I get it, it's only a onetime pass.
- Yeah, it happened again.
- It's not gonna happen again.
Yeah, he's more than a little upset, Vernon.
- Wayne, hold on one second.
- He's cutting you.
Cutting me or cut me? What tense did he use? What the fuck does it matter what tense he used, Vernon? - Jesus Christ.
Come on.
- You didn't listen.
What the fuck are we gonna do, Joe? Me and Spencer are heading there now.
We are gonna beg for mercy.
You are gonna fucking divest yourself of the entire weed business ASAP, you hear me? First off, calm the fuck down when you talk to us, man.
We ain't done nothing that wasn't in accordance with Colorado state law.
Reggie, please stop talking.
Hey, yo, man, the NFL ain't the motherfucking Constitution of the United States of America, Joe.
No, it's more fucking important, Reggie, you fucking moron! Jesus.
Calm down.
Reggie, listen, it's Spencer.
Vernon is getting out of the fucking weed business, - you hear me? - No, fuck you.
Shut the fuck up! You hear me, Reggie, you motherfucker?! You're out of the fucking weed business.
- Fuck him! - Whoa, what the fuck? What? God damn it.
Listen, I'm sorry.
- I thought it was my phone, okay? - It wasn't.
- Okay, calm yourself.
This is Wayne.
- Oh.
Hey, buddy, still there? Bomb fuse has been lit, Spencer, and the timer started.
You got two hours.
- Fuck me! - Yeah, fuck you! You owe me a new fucking phone.
I got your phone.
I'll buy you a phone.
Okay.
- (MUSIC PLAYING) - (CHATTER) Oh, there's Ms.
Bossman.
(CHUCKLES) Wow.
WAGs for the guys in the front office, too, huh? - Dallas does it right.
- (CHUCKLES) - Spencer.
- Hey, Tanya.
- You look beautiful as always.
- (KISSES) - What are you doing here? - Well, I heard a couple of my friends were vacationing in my neck of the woods, I thought I'd come by.
Yeah, and I grew up nearby.
Might pop into my mom.
Tanya, my business partner, Joe Krutel.
- Hi, Joe.
- Hi.
Boys are getting big.
Ah, yeah.
Henry is already 6'1" and he's only in middle school.
They grow 'em big like that in Texas.
When are you gonna make some? It's such a shame to waste those genetics.
Yeah, I am working on it.
Tanya, where is, uh where is your husband? - You just missed him.
- Where'd he go? Over there, massage.
Something really got under his skin this morning.
Said he needed extra pressure.
Huh, wonder what that could be.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, what could possibly make you upset in a paradise like this, right? He could find a way, trust me.
But stick around.
He shouldn't be that long.
Besides, seeing you will make him feel better.
Ah, well, I doubt that.
- You got that whole lease thing.
- Right, right, right.
Welcome, Kisan.
I'm Charles Greane, assistant general manager.
- Great to have you.
- Indeed.
Appreciate it.
What up, man? You ready to make us look good? Yeah, man, better than you already look.
- And you a handsome man.
- (CHUCKLES) My dude.
Hey, hey, hey.
You dandelions gonna run some drills or you gonna stand there circle jerking? Man, I was born to run, Coach.
You know that.
- My man make you say Bo looks slow.
- (SNAPS FINGERS) Why are we still talking? You should be running.
Lace them the fuck up.
Come on, I'll show you the locker room.
Let's go.
- Right.
- (PHONE BUZZING) - KISAN: The man is clowning, right? - MAN: No joke.
MAN: Come on, fellas, swivel heads, now.
- Swivel heads, let's go! - MAN #2: Come on, guys.
Catch the ball! - (WHISTLE TRILLING) - MAN: Third and goal.
Third and goal! MAN #3: Throw it! Throw it! I'm open! (ENGINE TURNS OFF) What the Amber, where are you going? It don't matter where I'm going.
What's important is that you won't be there.
You think I'm gonna just let you leave with my baby? It ain't your choice.
I don't need your permission.
- Shit.
- I especially don't need your money.
Can you move? And you know what? I damn sure don't need them damn flowers, so you can send those back to one of your other randoms.
You can't do this.
I got rights.
- I could do something about this shit.
- Boy, please.
The only rights that are important are a woman's right to choose, and I choose a life without you.
Come on, Amber, that's cold, now.
- You wanna know what's cold? - What? - The truth.
- Well, what's the truth? (SCOFFS) Truth is you old as dirt for a wide receiver.
I mean, maybe you have a couple of seasons left at best, but after that, who are you, hmm? Just some lonely-ass, busted ex-football player with a couple of bucks.
- Well, you wanna know the truth I see? - Yeah.
Yeah, what truth you see? Tell me.
Hmm? - I ain't even gonna say it.
- Yeah, 'cause you're chicken shit.
Look, 'cause I'm a gentleman, that's why.
'Cause you have nothing on me other than I was stupid enough to sleep with your sorry ass.
You really going for it today, huh? Well done.
I'm just keeping it real, Rick, just like you taught me.
So, if you don't mind, I have some packing to do.
Oh, you know what? Can you put this on the truck for me on your way out? Thank you.
Uh Hey, I'm gonna have the tuna tartare, and can you have 'em throw a fried egg on it? Okay, fuck me, huh? Two hours late for the biggest meeting of our lives.
We got Bossman in the cabana getting his balls rubbed, and you're out here asking for the fucking tartare? You know the surgeon general just said that stress is more dangerous than smoking? Maybe you should think about that.
We miss Wayne, we're fucked.
Oh, there he is.
It's about fucking time.
Look at him saunter.
God, that must have been some release, huh? Oh, all right here we go.
(CHUCKLING) Long way from home, Dorothys.
I'm gonna need you to reconsider cutting Vernon.
I've been spending far too much time and getting far too little in returns, Spencer.
I know I said this before, but this time, it's guaranteed.
Vernon's out of the weed business.
Nothing like getting a guarantee for the second time.
Ah, no, that first time was a promise.
This is a guarantee.
Totally different thing.
Bossman, come on, he's a good kid.
Hell, I know he is.
I'm actually quite fond of him.
Do you gentlemen have any idea how difficult it is to operate the greatest brand in sports? You own the New England Patriots, too? I'm totally kidding.
No, we don't.
People are always looking for new ways to knock us down.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, I can relate to that one.
Hmm, some would say you have it coming, though.
Word is you've been sniffing in the tall weeds with a short snout.
I'm not quite too sure what that even means.
Me either.
I've never heard that one, no.
Spencer, if you don't wanna admit what you're doing, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Bossman, I'm not afraid to talk about anything.
I just thought that that kind of transparency between you and I would put you in an awkward position with the league.
Let me worry about what position I'm in.
Fine, it's true.
I'm guilty of sniffing in the tall weeds.
With a short snout.
I wanna bring a team to Vegas.
Reaching for the brass ring, huh? Well, admittedly, it's a little outside of my expertise, but, yes.
I always knew you had big balls, Spencer, but I didn't know your judgment was this questionable.
How do you figure? The league's just approved you and you're already biting its hand? Didn't even call for approval? That's just plain wrong.
The upside's worth it.
I suppose we'll see.
The way I see it, there's only one way to take a team to Vegas, and that's big, even by Texas standards.
That's the only way we do it.
Big takes vision, Spencer.
Do you have a vision? I do.
But even if I didn't, Wayne Hastings does.
- Wayne Hastings, huh? - Yeah.
Well, that boy there's a proven visionary.
He's like the me of Vegas.
- Oh, you're more handsome.
- I could use your support and definitely your wisdom to get this whole thing done.
Yeah, approval comes through Texas.
Everybody knows that.
And how far in is Wayne? Balls deep, spearheading the whole thing.
- Well, I like that.
- JOE: Yeah, we do, too.
Now, uh, can we please get back to this Vernon situation? Hmm, let me go put some clothes on first.
- He wants to put clothes on.
- A robe counts as clothes.
TTD: Here we go, Rick.
You got him.
- MAN: Go! - RICKY: You got him.
Come on, he gained too much space.
Look at that route.
- What the hell was that? - One, two, three, throw.
He got it.
He's nervous, man.
You're Ricky Jerret.
TTD: Off the line, got him.
Do it! Oh, my God.
Damn! TTD: Bam! He done, he done.
There it is.
There it is.
- What the fuck? - Come on! Down, set, go! TTD: There it is, right there.
Put it on, quarterback! Aw, shit! Man, chase his ass.
Chase him.
- Get him! What are you smiling for? - Dude, run! Y'all take five.
Good play.
Take five.
- Come here.
- Where the hell are you throwing? Sorry, Rick.
You know what a skinny post is? Why the fuck are you throwing it so high, man, and behind me? Man, we don't even call plays at my school.
School? What you you in what school you go to? - Miami-Dade High.
- You in high school? - Get the fuck out of here.
- Really? I'ma really kick your ass if you don't get to step get out of here.
T, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
We got Amendola, Gronk, and Edelman working with Brady.
You got me out here with Matthew Stafford's little brother.
That's all I can get on such short notice.
- What do you want me to do? - Collect them cones and pay little Stafford his beer money.
I'm taking a motherfucking Uber home.
I hate you right now.
You embarrassed me out there.
Your ass ain't getting paid.
Move it on, the music (WHISTLE TRILLS) MAN: Down, set, go.
Get down, get there, baby Get on down - (WHISTLE TRILLS) - (MUSIC CONTINUES) Do it, all right Whoo! 4.
30.
Your boy can still run.
Would I waste your time if he couldn't? - Wow.
- What's the verdict? - I want him.
- CHARLES: Oh, yeah.
Hey, Mr.
Siefert.
- Mr.
Siefert? - Mr.
Siefert's your problem now.
Fucking deal with it.
(CHUCKLES) Man, don't sweat it, Chuck.
That's just Larry negotiating.
He - (JACKHAMMER RATTLING) - God damn.
How much longer? (HORNS HONKING) Oh, fuck, according to Waze, an hour.
Fucking hour? It's a quarter of a mile.
Dude, welcome to Miami construction.
Should we call Wayne and tell him we're gonna be late? No.
Fuck, no.
Not a fucking chance.
(SIGHS) Well, what about Vern? We should call him, right? Give him the good news? No, fuck that.
Let that motherfucker sweat it out - like I'm fucking sweating it out.
- (SIGHS) - Fuck! Let's go! - (HORN HONKS) - Should we be doing this, Spence? - Doing what? This, fucking any of this, poking the bear.
I mean, look at all the stress it's causing both of us.
- Are you stressed? - Am I? Are you fucking kidding me right now? My psoriasis, I can feel it fucking festering.
It moves around the body, you know.
I can feel it closing in on my nuts right now.
And after that conversation with the Bossman? I don't know, I'm starting to think maybe we are on the evil side of things here.
Maybe you're just not emotionally cut out for this, Joe.
Yeah, maybe.
And clearly, you're not either.
I ever tell you the story about my dad? What, your real dad or your adoptive dad? Asshole, my adoptive dad is my real dad.
Okay, okay, good.
I didn't wanna hear a story about you searching for your biological father.
- Shut the fuck up, Joe.
- Done.
Please continue.
My dad Carl was a loving man, tough man.
- Like you.
- Much more loving, much tougher.
He worked in the, uh in the mills in Bethlehem, all right? Provided a decent living.
He took care of us.
Supported us.
Nothing lavish.
Right.
So, one day, he gets a call into the big boss's office.
First time he's met him in 30 years.
So, what did the boss say? Nothing.
Nothing? What the fuck kind of story is this? You see, it's not about what the boss said; it's what he didn't say, Joe.
He didn't say anything interesting at all.
Huh.
So, after 30 years, my dad finally had a chance to sit across from the man who was running everything.
And you know what he saw? What? Nothing.
Nothing special.
My dad realized in that moment he could have been that guy sitting behind that desk.
But he realized it too late.
We're all just a bunch of guys, Joe.
Some of us believe that we could do anything.
And some of us believe we can't.
So, when you ask me why I wanna do this, my answer is because I know what guy I wanna be.
What about you? (CLEARS THROAT) I definitely don't wanna be the guy that just lets the clock run out, you know.
I definitely do not wanna be the guy who just sits there while time fucking stands still.
I wanna be the guy.
- The fucking guy? - Yeah! Yeah, the fucking guy.
Then let's get the fuck out of here.
(CHUCKLES) Holy shit.
- Let's get the fuck out of here.
- (CHUCKLES) (HORNS HONKING) I've been in the right place But it must have been the wrong time I'd have said the right thing But I must have used the wrong line CHARLES: Hey, Mr.
Siefert.
Hey, Mr.
Siefert, you gonna call Jason? No, you are, Charles.
This was all your idea.
- Well, what should I tell him? - I thought my lack of words said it all.
- But Kisan was great.
- Don't care.
I don't want him.
- Why the hell not? - 'Cause I don't trust him, that's why.
And you don't need to know what I'm gonna do, Charles, till after I do it.
So, you don't trust Kisan, you don't trust Berg, and you don't trust me, for that matter.
All the same now, Charles, but I'm talking about the player.
This ain't all about you.
When are you gonna realize that? Man, this is fucked.
You're gonna put politics over performance? You're gonna stand here and let your ego keep us from getting a player of Kisan's caliber? - Do you know what subtext is, Charles? - Yes, sir.
Good, then go fuck yourself.
And that is about you.
(MAN CHATTERING) - (DOOR CLOSES) - T! T, where are you at? T! - (LINE RINGING) - (PHONE RINGING) - Yo, what's up? - Yo, where are you at, man? - I'm at the house.
- Then why didn't you answer me? I just did! What's wrong with you? Man, where the gefilte fish at? It's in the fridge.
That shit's perishable once it's open.
They ain't in the fridge, man.
Hold on, man, I know I put that shit in the fridge 'cause don't nobody want no hot-ass gefilte fish.
Just like I said, right behind the peanut butter.
Ain't no peanut butter in here, man, just yogurt.
- Where the fuck are you, Ricky? - Where you think I am, man? I'm in the motherfucking kitchen, bro.
I'm in the kitchen.
I don't see your ass.
Hey, man.
Oh, God! Yo, TTD, call the cops.
There's a weird white kid in our house.
What house are you in, Rick? - Ricky? - Uh - Ricky? - Oh, shit.
- Ricky.
- BOY: I know who you are, asshole.
- You're not gonna get away with this.
- TTD, call Spencer.
(CAR ALARM CHIRPS) Wayne, Wayne! (PANTING) Wayne! Well, look what the breeze finally blew in.
Better late than never, though, right? Better never late is more like it.
I believe you two know each other.
- Sure do.
Hey, Spence.
- Hey, Chloe.
(PANTING) This is my partner, Joe.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
We'll be just a second, sir.
Wayne, look, just one drink, that's all I'm asking.
You showed me everything I needed to see, Spencer.
You're a good guy.
But if you can't make a lunch, how are you gonna move a team or build a stadium on schedule? Now, if you'll excuse me, we have a plane to catch.
You fly private, though, right? (LAUGHING) Yeah.
I mean, the plane leaves when you do.
Is that what you know from experience, Joe? It's something I've learned from my grotesquely irresponsible client roster.
SPENCER: Wayne, just one drink.
You're gonna wanna hear what I gotta say.
- What do you think? - (CAR ALARM CHIRPS) I'm actually curious.
(CHUCKLES) She's curious.
Tell me what it is you think I'm gonna wanna hear, Spencer.
I just met with the Cowboys.
- Underlings? - Bossman.
I was with him all day.
That's why I couldn't make the lunch.
- And? - And are you available to meet with him? He's ready to support our efforts.
Wayne, this is a meeting you are really going to enjoy.
The only one on this Earth who he admires just as much as himself is Wayne Hastings, Jr.
Junior.
(CHUCKLES) Huh.
Get the bags out of the car.
- Yeah.
- What? Huh.
Well, I'll I'll just go tell the hotel to get whatever douchebag they put in your suite okay, you can go do it, then.
Always use another night in Miami.
Yes, we could.
- (BOTH SIGH) - Fuck.
