Ballers (2015) s04e03 Episode Script
This Is Not Our World
1 What's the problem with Lance and how can we help? He's only in it for himself.
This is the Coke campaign we did down on the beach.
That's what the ad lackeys turned it into.
They changed his skin tone to fit this campaign.
We like how Parker looks.
Parker could have a show tomorrow.
That's three-million dollars down the toilet.
We coming out 'cause Vernon getting his number retired at General Carver High.
I wanted to talk to you about playing again.
I'm gonna need to see you work out.

We've waited for this day (CHATTER) We shared some tears of love now Like a desert in the rain When the sun of the day went down (POP) William Strasmore II about the only thing you were second at, you motherfucker.
As if that wasn't good enough for ya.
After everything we went through, everything that we slugged our way through, our childhood and all that shit I mean, what the hell could have been so hard? I thought you were a fighter, Billy.
What the fuck were you thinking? I know it wasn't about me, because if it was about me, you would have known that I was always there for you, but instead, you fucking quit on me, you fuckin' pussy! Selfish piece of shit! (GRUNTS) Everything always had to be about you, right? I idolized you! And fuck you for leaving me here.
You should have taken me with you, you fucking coward! (RUMBLING) (RUMBLING CONTINUES) Oh, shit.

(LAUGHS) Hey, listen, no matter what he says, just take a deep breath before you respond, huh? You know me.
I specialize in making people feel good.
You have been known to ruffle a few feathers, too.
(SONG CONTINUES, LYRICS INDISTINCT) Cut! Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.
Cut.
Cut.
Baby, baby, baby.
Zion, I'm gonna need one more.
We're gettin' to the Promised Land that your name suggests.
You're makin' me crazy.
Am I man, or am I machine? I already did it for you like a hundred times, bro! OK, let's go for 101.
Like the Dalmatians.
Fuck! I didn't see you guys there lurking in the shadows.
For big men we move stealthily like ninjas.
Strike like ninjas, too.
So, no more beef? Oh, the Parker Coca-Cola thing? That shit's Old Testament, man, I've moved on.
I'm a businessman.
OK, bigger and better deals great to hear.
Yeah.
So what's all this epicness? Just content for the channel.
We do more than surfing.
Maybe I should go home, put my Vans on, and do some big-time ollies.
(LAUGHING) Well, that would surely go as viral as herpes.
And that's the way it's got to be.
We've got to stay relevant and keep reinventing ourselves.
- Just like you, Spencer.
- Looks pricey.
Is it? I don't carry a budget around in my back pocket, Joe.
OK, well, I'm gonna go pick up Vernon and Reggie at the airport, and maybe you can stay and help him produce this whole thing.
Yeah, high school is retiring Vernon Littelfield's number today.
Oh! Well, congratulations.
Tell Vernon congratulations from all of us here at Sports X.
- Have fun.
- All right, man.
Talk to you later.
Lance, buddy, I sense a little defensiveness.
I don't like to let money get in the way of creating art, Joe.
Well, we don't let art get in the way of creating money.
(LAUGHS) Jesse! Can you take this guy to craft, get him some sushi or something, load it up with salmonella, so he knows what it's like to be disrupted while he's trying to work.
OK, got it.
Hey, dude.
- Hey, Cheese.
- Is it usually like this? No, it's usually an iPhone at the Berrics.
I'll show you were the espresso is.
Yeah.
All right, man.
Y'all be good.
- What up, Spence.
- Vern.
Don't forget to read that book about Lucky Luciano.
Watch the doc too, the one where he dies in the end.
Will do, paisan.
- Ciao.
- Be good, goodfellas.
Spence, see how responsible I've become? - We're jetting smarter.
- Yes, you are.
Appreciate the effort, Vern, but look, if that means you're gonna get implicated in the next racketeering sting, I'd rather you guys fly yourself.
Ready for your big coronation? It's just the high school retiring my jersey, Spence.
- That's what I said.
- Shut up, Reggie.
It's an honor.
Just sayin', every time we go back home, everybody's got their hand out.
Come on, Reg.
Don't be so jaded.
I can't help it.
I'm from Compton.
Got the right attitude now, Vern.
It's gonna be the first of many honors.
You keep playing the way you're playing, Dallas is gonna put you in the ring.
Then you're gonna wear a gold jacket.
Hopefully, my bust will be next to yours.
Yeah, and congrats on the HOF thing.
Wow.
Thank you, Reg.
Good.
Now can we stop jerkin' each other off and get in and out of L.
A.
with some money left in our pockets? (CHATTE) Fuck, man, what happened to Tiffany? I thought that was your girl.
She is, you know what I'm sayin'? Tiff's my girl girl, bro.
But she gets seasick.
Don't say nothin'.
I don't want to spook Tasha.
- She old work.
- I ain't sayin' shit.
I know you got me.
How long you been fuckin' with Donna, anyway? I don't know, six months or so.
That's cool.
She cool.
Good vibes.
- How do you know her again? - On the scene.
- That's cool.
- Yep.
I feel like you're not telling me something.
- You feel that way? - I do.
I'm gonna tell you how it is, bro, straight up.
'Cause you my boy and I got love for you.
- You fucked my girl.
- Hell, no! - Oh, my God.
- I ain't fuck her, bro.
She bad and all, but that ain't my kind of ass.
That's some white girl shit.
Babe, think you could take a picture of us? - No.
- That's so rude.
So what the fuck you gotta tell me straight up? - She got with my boy.
- What boy? If I tell you this shit, I need your word you're not gonna say nothing.
Straight up omertà .
Omertà , yeah, OK.
This isn't The Godfather.
You got my word.
Just fuckin' tell me.
Tiger.
She fucked Tiger Woods? Fore! Hole-in-one, nigga.
TTD: Man! You're having a go for the Rams.
This is sick! All right, Andrew, let's be gentle with him.
He gonna be more skittish than a rescue dog.
I should get a rescue dog.
You should get a therapy dog.
Black swan.
I appreciate you agreeing to come here and being discreet about it.
And I appreciate you agreeing to come work out for me.
I'm so happy the mutual admiration society is alive and well.
Don't look nervous, man.
I got this, baby.
- I know.
I know.
- Who's Urkel? That's Andrew, my assistant.
- This is TTD.
- Don't be disrespectful, T.
- Good to meet you.
- Thank you.
He's gonna be the timer.
Look, I hope you understand, you know, it just can't look like I'm jamming you on nobody.
- Yeah.
- Well, you sure aren't.
That's what we're doing, right? Talkin' like white people? Let's keep it real, man.
You can wake Rick up in the middle of a threesome and he gonna snatch balls one-handed like O.
B.
J.
Paws on the balls, but I am ready to work out.
- What we gonna do first, routes? - Yeah, routes up first.
- (WHISTLE BLOWS) - Dance with the dogs in the nighttime Trap nigga with the chickens like Popeye's, Popeye's - There we go.
- Come on, Rick.
- (WHISTLE BLOWS) - I'm just tryna get it, I ain't tryna die Got a big ol' onion booty, make the world cry In the kitchen, wrist- twistin' like a stir-fry - (WHISTLE BLOWS) - Hold them bands down - Hold them bands down - Here we go, here we go.
I told him not to eat that butter croissant this mornin'! Relax, TTD.
Calm down.
He'll be all right.
CHARLES: Good, good.
- TTD: Come on, Rick.
- Arggh! I'm feeling a little off.
It might be the meds.
- Meds? - It's nothin'.
Just mood stuff.
Happy pills.
- Since when? - Recent.
I mean, I like 'em, I really do, I just ain't used to playing with 'em.
You know what? Let's go hit the forty.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, let's do that.
You got this, nigga.
You gon' be playin' for the Rams.
- Whenever you're ready! - Just pretend Amber caught you fuckin' the nanny and her angry ass after you with a machete.
- Give me some room, man.
- All right, man.
Still be real and famous Dance with the dogs in the nighttime He's always been fast.
(WHISTLE BLOWS) CHARLES: Come on! Dig! Dig! Dig! All the way! In the kitchen wrist- twistin' like it's stir-fry In the kitchen wrist- twistin' like it's stir-fry - Seems like he may have lost a step, huh? - A step or two.
TTD: Let me see that watch, Urkel.
God damn, man! We never gonna get out of that house.
I told him he shouldn't have took time off to retire.
Comebacks ain't easy.
I know.
- Yeah.
Thanks, Chuck.
- All right, now.
TTD: Yo! I know you angry, but don't leave me! (CHATTER, PHONES RINGING) Enid.
Hey.
Hi.
I was just passing by, I had to tell you, you look beautiful today.
You really do.
You know? I love what you've done with your hair.
And I love what you've done with yours, Joe.
(LAUGHS) Why you so happy today? Somebody steal your lighter? I work in accounting, Joe.
Everyone who works in accounting is fucking miserable.
- Did you not get that memo? - No, I didn't.
I love accounting.
Gets my blood pumping.
For real.
I get a real rush when I'm crunching numbers, movin' decimal points - Fractions do it for me.
- Fractions are OK.
- Now, what do you need, Joe? - Oh, no.
Nothing.
Nothing.
I was just down at the shoot with Lance, and Impressive.
The scope of it.
It reminded me of the first time I saw Cats on Broadway.
- You ever see Cats? - I have.
The original cast.
I used to have the unitard.
Ho ho! Betcha you turned some heads.
I like you.
Good.
I'm glad.
Because, uh I gotta ask you, how much did that video cost? - (SIGHS) - Besides too much.
I'm guessin' around 300K? I'm not allowed to discuss this budget, Joe.
Lance has sworn me to secrecy.
Enid, oh, but it's me.
It's your best friend, Joe.
But if I were to turn around to the printer and someone were to open that top drawer, he might find a budget he could take a peek at.
My hero.
Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me! Enid, this looks like a fuckin' military contract.
Is there bid-rigging involved here? - Are you taking bribes under the table? - Don't attack my integrity, Joe.
A million dollars on a fuckin' skateboard video?! I thought those things are suppose to be street-level.
They usually are, but for some reason, this one's different.
He seems to have some kind of bug up his ass, a giant one.
I tried to ask about it, but he went full 'roid rage on me.
Do you know what that boy told me? That I should start smoking pot.
So I did.
Wasn't expecting that.
OK, all right.
Enid stop cutting checks as of right now.
No one cuts a check unless Spencer or myself approves it.
Understood? - Understood.
- Great.
Great.
Thanks.
Good talk, Enid.
Bye.
It's not the way I remember high school, but I appreciate the vintage throwback look.
Right on, brutha.
That's not style.
That's some motherfucker too broke to get his hair cut.
Reg, you gonna be positive today? 'Cause if not, I'll leave your ass in the car.
With the windows up.
How about you try and be the "glass half full" kind of guy today? Yo, Spence, man, look around, man.
The only thing half full in the 'hood is a 40-ouncer.
They tryin' to reel us in.
Man, I know he up to something.
The pride of Compton returns.
Mr.
Hags.
What's goin' on, man? I want you to meet Spencer.
This is my financial guru and all-around great guy.
Mr.
Hagerty, real pleasure to meet you.
Nothing more important to me than quality education.
Then you in the wrong place.
It's nice to see you, too, Reginald.
Believe it or not, I always knew both these boys would make it out.
What do you want, Mr.
Hags? You've never been this nice to me before.
(LAUGHS) Come on, guys.
Glass half full, Reggie.
Half full.
Place hasn't changed too much, huh, Mr.
Hags? Sadly, it has for the worse, which is what I wanted to discuss with you.
I knew it was somethin'.
- (PHONE CHIMING) - Sorry about that.
- (CHIMING) - My apologies.
What's the problem, Joe? Hey, finally.
My God.
Um, are you alone right now? - What difference does that make? - It's sensitive, OK? I'm with Vernon and his principal.
Hold on one second.
- Excuse me.
- Is Vern in trouble? He is not.
Are you? Let me start by saying how much I love and appreciate our partnership.
This doesn't sound good.
What'd you do, Joe? Believe it or not, I didn't do anything.
But it turns out that our guy Lance Your guy Lance.
Your guy.
Yeah, yeah.
My guy Lance has been spending like a coked-up sailor in a whorehouse on this video.
- How bad is it? - Over a million.
And apparently this is something new.
He's usually very budget-conscious.
So you think Mr.
No Beef is trying to tell us to go fuck ourselves? That thought has crossed my mind, yeah.
There's only one guy who can answer our questions.
Where is he? Jesse said he's finishing up the shoot somewhere in the desert.
What is he, David fuckin' Fincher now? I'll see you soon.
(R&B MUSIC PLAYING) Hey.
Hey.
Where you been all day? Uh, uh, runnin' errands.
What kind of errands? Besides, ain't that your job, TTD? Job? Not when somebody's special birthday is comin' up.
Oh, so you were shopping for my birthday.
That's three months away.
So where'd you go, Equinox? Equinox? Why would I go to Equinox for your birthday gift, baby? You don't need a gym membership.
Look at you.
You're perfect.
You been sweatin' your ass off, Ricky.
Don't lie to me.
I can tell.
- She's got good senses.
- The sweat thing is my fault.
I had him stop for a hike because as you know, I'm trying to lose weight.
Yeah, well, it ain't workin', TTD.
And if you went on a hike, how come you ain't sweatin'? - I have glandular issues? - That's a lie.
Who are you, Robert Mueller? - Tell me the truth, TTD.
- Don't answer that.
You better answer me if you want to stay in this house.
- Baby, don't threaten my friend.
- Technically, I'm both your friends.
I'd like to keep it that way.
Go ahead and tell her, snitch.
Ricky worked out for the Rams.
You went and tried out for Charles? Yeah, but I-I was ashamed.
That's why I didn't say nothin'.
You did more than not tell me.
You just straight-up lied.
Babe, l-listen You never gonna win that.
Pussy's undefeated.
It's undefeated.
Look at the windmills, look at the windmills Again, again, again with the windmills.
Come on.
You're stressed.
- You think so? - Yes.
Look, once we get Sports X up and running, I want you to go away and recharge.
I want you to think about a vacation in a beautiful locale.
Well, OK, we're headed to one.
Well, after we're done meeting with Lance, I'm gonna leave you so you get your R&R.
OK, all right.
You're not exactly the beacon of mental health either, my friend.
- What's that supposed to mean? - Maybe I should drop you off at the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage.
It's the original franchise.
Only the best for you.
Well, it's a waste of time for me, OK? Plus, I don't have substance abuse issues.
Oh ho! Really? Oh, wow.
No sex addiction? That's not a valid addiction.
That's opportunity and appetite.
- Alcohol? Pain meds? - No, no, no.
I enjoy them.
I don't need them.
There's a big difference.
Delusional.
Check.
What about depression? I'm not depressed.
No.
I am a little tortured, but not depressed.
OK.
Finally, an admission, some self-awareness.
That, my friend, that is the first step on the road to recovery.
So does that mean you're ready to talk now? Or are you just gonna keep avoiding it? There's a lot of shit in my head, Joe.
Well, that is not a healthy way to exist.
Take it from me, I know.
Well, suicide doesn't only kill the person who commits it, it also kills the ones they left behind.
OK.
So your brother's death is weighing on you.
Right? You just need to do a better job of compartmentalizing.
You should do what I did after my wife died.
- Celebrate? - (LAUGHS) No, no.
No, no, no, right after that.
What I did was, I took a small, very, very, very beautiful mental picture of her and I locked it away in the deep, deep recesses of my brain.
That sounds so fucked up.
- Yeah, it sounds so fucked up.
- That's why you have issues.
It sounded OK when I was just thinking it, but when I said it out loud, it didn't sound as good.
How about this? Why don't we just go take care of business, and then after that, we'll go take care of us.
Me and you, two for one, Betty Ford.
Oh, my God.
Couples Betty Ford? - Yes.
- Let's do it.
(COUGHING) Excuse me.
Should we get you some water, Mr.
Hagerty? No, no, it's OK.
Just the asbestos, that's all.
Asbestos, my ass.
It's from all the Kools he used to smoke.
Besides, if the asbestos doesn't get me and these kids, the lead poisoning will.
You being serious, Mr.
Hagerty? Unfortunately, I am.
Lead builds character.
I mean, look at us.
Hey, ol' Reg, there's our old homeroom.
Let's take a look.
(SCOFFS) REGGIE: Straight to the back like the old days.
Just like you boys left it.
Nothin's changed.
Only much, much worse.
Damn budget committee! Are you all right, Vernon? Yeah, just give me a hand up.
Good, 'cause we don't have proper liability coverage.
OK, Mr.
Hags, you win.
We'll do the right thing and make a donation.
I'm thinkin', like 5K? (BELL RINGS) Great day.
Thanks for bringing me, babe.
That was sweet of you.
Yeah.
Kisan, he's hilarious, right? He's stupid-funny.
A lot of fun.
He's crazy, too.
His whole crew is.
They always are.
Always, yeah.
You know a lot of his boys? - A few.
- How many is a few? Is this some type of trick fuckin' question? No, you said "always crazy," not "crazy.
" Like you have some kind of history.
Uh, no, you said his crew is crazy, idiot.
I just agreed.
What are you trying to get at? Nothing.
I'm just gonna sit out here and watch the Golf Channel.
Check the leader board.
See how Tiger's doing.
If you think I'm gonna let you come at me with all this passive-aggressive bitch-like shit and get way with it, you got the wrong girl.
Fine.
He told me that you had a thing with Tiger.
- Who told you? Cheating Kisan? - What When he Don't start stuttering and muttering now.
Yeah, Kisan, he told me.
But he said not to say anything, so We know how that worked out.
I couldn't help myself.
What's that fool doing talking about my business when he's rolling around with some skank - behind Tiffany's back, anyway? - Was it true? You're asking me if I hooked up with Tiger? - Yeah, I am.
- Duh.
I was waitressing at Waffle House.
"Duh.
" That's how you answer whether or not you fucked somebody? "Duh"? - What is that? - I'm gonna go home.
Donna, wait.
Come on, I love you.
That's what I'm trying to say.
I'm sorry.
You're really telling me you love me for the first time after we just talked about me fuckin' Tiger Woods.
- I am.
- You're a sick fuck, you know that? And I love you too.
Listen, we don't have to tell Kisan, though.
Right? Like I'm gonna say anything to Kisan.
Come on, you know I'm cooler than that.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING) - Hi.
- Nombres? (LAUGHS) Nombres.
Spencer Strasmore and Joe Krutel.
Sorry, whose list? 'Cause you're not on Lance's.
Not on Lance's? Can I see this? What the fuck, dude? HAGERTY: I stand before you all to introduce a young man who sat in the very same seats as you Kind of.
You broke the damn thing.
walked the same halls, studied the same classes, and of course, played on the same field.
With the help and guidance of his friend, General Carver's astute Reggie Morris.
Astute? Man's smooth, I'll give him that.
You are, Reg.
Maybe I could stand to be a bit more philanthropic.
After all, I mean, five grand ain't shit.
I think that, uh, we can up it a tiny bit.
You sure? It is with great pleasure that we retire the number 90 and rename our field The LittelField! (CHEERS, APPLAUSE) (MARCHING BAND PLAYS) (MUSIC CONTINUES) HAGERTY: All right.
I don't want to stop the music, but I'm a man of action, not words, so I just want to thank y'all from the bottom of my heart and say I'm donating a million dollars to the school, y'all! (CROWD CHEERING) What the fuck are you doin', man?! Are you fuckin' high? Hey, band, how about y'all play me something I know? Please.
Come on, y'all.
(BAND PLAYING "NOTHIN' BUT A G THANG") (BONG WATER BUBBLING) If you want, I can talk to him, I sort of speak his language.
Yeah? What's that, douche? Hey, bro.
Where's Lance? No clue, dude, but take a chill pill, would you? No, I'm not gonna take any pills, all right? Neither should you.
You shouldn't do any of that shit.
Drugs are bad.
Just say no.
Never chill.
Never chill.
Hey, listen, I know you're upset, but there's no need to ruin everybody else's night, you know? A-A-And not all drugs are bad.
I mean, ask Steve Jobs.
He's dead.
Not from taking LSD.
As a matter of fact, he's on record as saying it helped with his creativity.
Joe, cut the shit, all right? Our ass is on the line, your ass is on the line, with this fucking company we purchased.
I'm aware of that, I just like to deflect in moments of crisis.
LANCE: Whoa! Fellas! I'm so happy you could make it.
Yeah, well, your warm welcome is a little surprising considering we weren't even on the list.
That's an oversight, I can assure you.
- Administrative error.
- SPENCER: Ah.
- Great party.
- If you can't share it with the ones that helped you make it, who can you share it with? Who's paying for all the gratitude that you're spreading around here? Again with the money.
Yeah, again with the money.
It's our money, and we want to know where it's going.
A million bucks for a skate video seems a little fuckin' excessive.
And liberating.
And I can't wait to get back out there to it again.
You're gonna love it when it's finished, mate.
You missed his point totally, Lance.
(CLEARS THROAT) This whole thing feels a little bit like a big "fuck you" to us.
JOE: Oh, no.
Come on.
- I can't believe that.
- I'm pretty sure it does.
Lance, tell him.
It's all a matter of perception.
I've been working on this video for months, and when I get a chance to spend more of your money, I'll gleefully take it.
Hence the added scope.
Yeah, yeah.
Hence the added scope after-party.
Exactly! We're finally on the same page.
Feels a little bit like insubordination.
- Wouldn't you say? - Yeah, Lance, you gotta get yourself in check, man.
You come to my house and you let him embarrass me like this.
Gentlemen, you need to keep yourselves in check.
I'll remind you, I'm not an employee.
I built this company.
I work for me.
I answer to me.
We get that.
We understand.
But this thing has to run more efficiently, you know? Like a big family.
Like a giant dysfunctional fuckin' family.
We pumped a lot of our own money into this company, Lance.
- Into you! - Well, then, I guess you're fucked, because you bought the company, but you didn't buy me.
I'm drawing a line in the sand, mate, yeah? 'Cause let me tell ya.
I ain't changing.
I'm gonna do whatever the hell I want, whenever the hell I want, with whoever I want, whenever I want.
Do you feel me? I feel you.
Do you feel me? Yeah.
Ow.
I do feel you, yeah.
Ow.
OK, good.
I want you to feel this too.
You're fired, mate.
Ah, fuck.
Got mine fitted to the side when I wear mine Why these boys keep reachin' for my plate knowin' I don't wanna share mine? Why these squares keep lyin' when they swear blind? Why they talking like I never made bare grime? Two fools like I never had a spare 9 Don't don't need a co-sign from the mayor cos I got a pretty penny I ain't beggin' in my spare time Why these bitches wanna hit me with the bare whine? These bitches ain't even worth the airtime Why these singers always gotta use Melodyne? Why these rappers ain't got prepared lines? Why you gotta keep gassin' up their dead rhymes? Why I gotta be a hater when I tell the truth? If you're really spittin' fire where's the bloody proof? If you ain't got the juice What's the bloody use? Cos I'm used to the true spitters on the roof East side of the river that's the bloody roots Had to put in work like a pair of muddy boots Too big for my boots that's the truth No excuse for you new recruits Bunch of dilutes, and a few flukes I've been out of the loop, pepper MCs with a few nukes Bunch of fashion MCs think they're too cute Bunch of rubbish MCs stick 'em in a chute Chuck 'em out of a helicopter with no parachute I'm a true brute It ain't up for dispute (ECHOES) Up for dispute, up for dispute SPENCER STRASMORE: Lance is not the primary asset of Sports X, the talent is.
What do we do now? Well, we stabilize our client list and we rally the troops.
SPENCER: Where is everyone? I am Sports X.
- Without me, you got nothing.
- (GLASSES CLINK) Nobody go anywhere.
We're going to war.

As if that wasn't good enough for ya.
After everything we went through, everything that we slugged our way through, our childhood and all that shit I mean, what the hell could have been so hard? I thought you were a fighter, Billy.
What the fuck were you thinking? I know it wasn't about me, because if it was about me, you would have known that I was always there for you, but instead, you fucking quit on me, you fuckin' pussy! Selfish piece of shit! (GRUNTS) Everything always had to be about you, right? I idolized you! And fuck you for leaving me here.

(SONG CONTINUES, LYRICS INDISTINCT) Cut! Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.
Cut.
Cut.
Baby, baby, baby.
Zion, I'm gonna need one more.
We're gettin' to the Promised Land that your name suggests.
You're makin' me crazy.
Am I man, or am I machine? I already did it for you like a hundred times, bro! OK, let's go for 101.
Like the Dalmatians.
Fuck! I didn't see you guys there lurking in the shadows.
For big men we move stealthily like ninjas.
Strike like ninjas, too.
So, no more beef? Oh, the Parker Coca-Cola thing? That shit's Old Testament, man, I've moved on.
I'm a businessman.
OK, bigger and better deals great to hear.
Yeah.
So what's all this epicness? Just content for the channel.
We do more than surfing.
Maybe I should go home, put my Vans on, and do some big-time ollies.
(LAUGHING) Well, that would surely go as viral as herpes.
And that's the way it's got to be.
We've got to stay relevant and keep reinventing ourselves.
- Just like you, Spencer.
- Looks pricey.
Is it? I don't carry a budget around in my back pocket, Joe.
OK, well, I'm gonna go pick up Vernon and Reggie at the airport, and maybe you can stay and help him produce this whole thing.
Yeah, high school is retiring Vernon Littelfield's number today.
Oh! Well, congratulations.
Tell Vernon congratulations from all of us here at Sports X.
- Have fun.
- All right, man.
Talk to you later.
Lance, buddy, I sense a little defensiveness.
I don't like to let money get in the way of creating art, Joe.
Well, we don't let art get in the way of creating money.
(LAUGHS) Jesse! Can you take this guy to craft, get him some sushi or something, load it up with salmonella, so he knows what it's like to be disrupted while he's trying to work.
OK, got it.
Hey, dude.
- Hey, Cheese.
- Is it usually like this? No, it's usually an iPhone at the Berrics.
I'll show you were the espresso is.
Yeah.
All right, man.
Y'all be good.
- What up, Spence.
- Vern.
Don't forget to read that book about Lucky Luciano.
Watch the doc too, the one where he dies in the end.
Will do, paisan.
- Ciao.
- Be good, goodfellas.
Spence, see how responsible I've become? - We're jetting smarter.
- Yes, you are.
Appreciate the effort, Vern, but look, if that means you're gonna get implicated in the next racketeering sting, I'd rather you guys fly yourself.
Ready for your big coronation? It's just the high school retiring my jersey, Spence.
- That's what I said.
- Shut up, Reggie.
It's an honor.
Just sayin', every time we go back home, everybody's got their hand out.
Come on, Reg.
Don't be so jaded.
I can't help it.
I'm from Compton.
Got the right attitude now, Vern.
It's gonna be the first of many honors.
You keep playing the way you're playing, Dallas is gonna put you in the ring.
Then you're gonna wear a gold jacket.
Hopefully, my bust will be next to yours.
Yeah, and congrats on the HOF thing.
Wow.
Thank you, Reg.
Good.
Now can we stop jerkin' each other off and get in and out of L.
A.
with some money left in our pockets? (CHATTE) Fuck, man, what happened to Tiffany? I thought that was your girl.
She is, you know what I'm sayin'? Tiff's my girl girl, bro.
But she gets seasick.
Don't say nothin'.
I don't want to spook Tasha.
- She old work.
- I ain't sayin' shit.
I know you got me.
How long you been fuckin' with Donna, anyway? I don't know, six months or so.
That's cool.
She cool.
Good vibes.
- How do you know her again? - On the scene.
- That's cool.
- Yep.
I feel like you're not telling me something.
- You feel that way? - I do.
I'm gonna tell you how it is, bro, straight up.
'Cause you my boy and I got love for you.
- You fucked my girl.
- Hell, no! - Oh, my God.
- I ain't fuck her, bro.
She bad and all, but that ain't my kind of ass.
That's some white girl shit.
Babe, think you could take a picture of us? - No.
- That's so rude.
So what the fuck you gotta tell me straight up? - She got with my boy.
- What boy? If I tell you this shit, I need your word you're not gonna say nothing.
Straight up omertà .
Omertà , yeah, OK.
This isn't The Godfather.
You got my word.
Just fuckin' tell me.
Tiger.
She fucked Tiger Woods? Fore! Hole-in-one, nigga.
TTD: Man! You're having a go for the Rams.
This is sick! All right, Andrew, let's be gentle with him.
He gonna be more skittish than a rescue dog.
I should get a rescue dog.
You should get a therapy dog.
Black swan.
I appreciate you agreeing to come here and being discreet about it.
And I appreciate you agreeing to come work out for me.
I'm so happy the mutual admiration society is alive and well.
Don't look nervous, man.
I got this, baby.
- I know.
I know.
- Who's Urkel? That's Andrew, my assistant.
- This is TTD.
- Don't be disrespectful, T.
- Good to meet you.
- Thank you.
He's gonna be the timer.
Look, I hope you understand, you know, it just can't look like I'm jamming you on nobody.
- Yeah.
- Well, you sure aren't.
That's what we're doing, right? Talkin' like white people? Let's keep it real, man.
You can wake Rick up in the middle of a threesome and he gonna snatch balls one-handed like O.
B.
J.
Paws on the balls, but I am ready to work out.
- What we gonna do first, routes? - Yeah, routes up first.
- (WHISTLE BLOWS) - Dance with the dogs in the nighttime Trap nigga with the chickens like Popeye's, Popeye's - There we go.
- Come on, Rick.
- (WHISTLE BLOWS) - I'm just tryna get it, I ain't tryna die Got a big ol' onion booty, make the world cry In the kitchen, wrist- twistin' like a stir-fry - (WHISTLE BLOWS) - Hold them bands down - Hold them bands down - Here we go, here we go.
I told him not to eat that butter croissant this mornin'! Relax, TTD.
Calm down.
He'll be all right.
CHARLES: Good, good.
- TTD: Come on, Rick.
- Arggh! I'm feeling a little off.
It might be the meds.
- Meds? - It's nothin'.
Just mood stuff.
Happy pills.
- Since when? - Recent.
I mean, I like 'em, I really do, I just ain't used to playing with 'em.
You know what? Let's go hit the forty.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, let's do that.
You got this, nigga.
You gon' be playin' for the Rams.
- Whenever you're ready! - Just pretend Amber caught you fuckin' the nanny and her angry ass after you with a machete.
- Give me some room, man.
- All right, man.
Still be real and famous Dance with the dogs in the nighttime He's always been fast.
(WHISTLE BLOWS) CHARLES: Come on! Dig! Dig! Dig! All the way! In the kitchen wrist- twistin' like it's stir-fry In the kitchen wrist- twistin' like it's stir-fry - Seems like he may have lost a step, huh? - A step or two.
TTD: Let me see that watch, Urkel.
God damn, man! We never gonna get out of that house.
I told him he shouldn't have took time off to retire.
Comebacks ain't easy.
I know.
- Yeah.
Thanks, Chuck.
- All right, now.
TTD: Yo! I know you angry, but don't leave me! (CHATTER, PHONES RINGING) Enid.
Hey.
Hi.
I was just passing by, I had to tell you, you look beautiful today.
You really do.
You know? I love what you've done with your hair.
And I love what you've done with yours, Joe.
(LAUGHS) Why you so happy today? Somebody steal your lighter? I work in accounting, Joe.
Everyone who works in accounting is fucking miserable.
- Did you not get that memo? - No, I didn't.
I love accounting.
Gets my blood pumping.
For real.
I get a real rush when I'm crunching numbers, movin' decimal points - Fractions do it for me.
- Fractions are OK.
- Now, what do you need, Joe? - Oh, no.
Nothing.
Nothing.
I was just down at the shoot with Lance, and Impressive.
The scope of it.
It reminded me of the first time I saw Cats on Broadway.
- You ever see Cats? - I have.
The original cast.
I used to have the unitard.
Ho ho! Betcha you turned some heads.
I like you.
Good.
I'm glad.
Because, uh I gotta ask you, how much did that video cost? - (SIGHS) - Besides too much.
I'm guessin' around 300K? I'm not allowed to discuss this budget, Joe.
Lance has sworn me to secrecy.
Enid, oh, but it's me.
It's your best friend, Joe.
But if I were to turn around to the printer and someone were to open that top drawer, he might find a budget he could take a peek at.
My hero.
Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me! Enid, this looks like a fuckin' military contract.
Is there bid-rigging involved here? - Are you taking bribes under the table? - Don't attack my integrity, Joe.
A million dollars on a fuckin' skateboard video?! I thought those things are suppose to be street-level.
They usually are, but for some reason, this one's different.
He seems to have some kind of bug up his ass, a giant one.
I tried to ask about it, but he went full 'roid rage on me.
Do you know what that boy told me? That I should start smoking pot.
So I did.
Wasn't expecting that.
OK, all right.
Enid stop cutting checks as of right now.
No one cuts a check unless Spencer or myself approves it.
Understood? - Understood.
- Great.
Great.
Thanks.
Good talk, Enid.
Bye.
It's not the way I remember high school, but I appreciate the vintage throwback look.
Right on, brutha.
That's not style.
That's some motherfucker too broke to get his hair cut.
Reg, you gonna be positive today? 'Cause if not, I'll leave your ass in the car.
With the windows up.
How about you try and be the "glass half full" kind of guy today? Yo, Spence, man, look around, man.
The only thing half full in the 'hood is a 40-ouncer.
They tryin' to reel us in.
Man, I know he up to something.
The pride of Compton returns.
Mr.
Hags.
What's goin' on, man? I want you to meet Spencer.
This is my financial guru and all-around great guy.
Mr.
Hagerty, real pleasure to meet you.
Nothing more important to me than quality education.
Then you in the wrong place.
It's nice to see you, too, Reginald.
Believe it or not, I always knew both these boys would make it out.
What do you want, Mr.
Hags? You've never been this nice to me before.
(LAUGHS) Come on, guys.
Glass half full, Reggie.
Half full.
Place hasn't changed too much, huh, Mr.
Hags? Sadly, it has for the worse, which is what I wanted to discuss with you.
I knew it was somethin'.
- (PHONE CHIMING) - Sorry about that.
- (CHIMING) - My apologies.
What's the problem, Joe? Hey, finally.
My God.
Um, are you alone right now? - What difference does that make? - It's sensitive, OK? I'm with Vernon and his principal.
Hold on one second.
- Excuse me.
- Is Vern in trouble? He is not.
Are you? Let me start by saying how much I love and appreciate our partnership.
This doesn't sound good.
What'd you do, Joe? Believe it or not, I didn't do anything.
But it turns out that our guy Lance Your guy Lance.
Your guy.
Yeah, yeah.
My guy Lance has been spending like a coked-up sailor in a whorehouse on this video.
- How bad is it? - Over a million.
And apparently this is something new.
He's usually very budget-conscious.
So you think Mr.
No Beef is trying to tell us to go fuck ourselves? That thought has crossed my mind, yeah.
There's only one guy who can answer our questions.
Where is he? Jesse said he's finishing up the shoot somewhere in the desert.
What is he, David fuckin' Fincher now? I'll see you soon.
(R&B MUSIC PLAYING) Hey.
Hey.
Where you been all day? Uh, uh, runnin' errands.
What kind of errands? Besides, ain't that your job, TTD? Job? Not when somebody's special birthday is comin' up.
Oh, so you were shopping for my birthday.
That's three months away.
So where'd you go, Equinox? Equinox? Why would I go to Equinox for your birthday gift, baby? You don't need a gym membership.
Look at you.
You're perfect.
You been sweatin' your ass off, Ricky.
Don't lie to me.
I can tell.
- She's got good senses.
- The sweat thing is my fault.
I had him stop for a hike because as you know, I'm trying to lose weight.
Yeah, well, it ain't workin', TTD.
And if you went on a hike, how come you ain't sweatin'? - I have glandular issues? - That's a lie.
Who are you, Robert Mueller? - Tell me the truth, TTD.
- Don't answer that.
You better answer me if you want to stay in this house.
- Baby, don't threaten my friend.
- Technically, I'm both your friends.
I'd like to keep it that way.
Go ahead and tell her, snitch.
Ricky worked out for the Rams.
You went and tried out for Charles? Yeah, but I-I was ashamed.
That's why I didn't say nothin'.
You did more than not tell me.
You just straight-up lied.
Babe, l-listen You never gonna win that.
Pussy's undefeated.
It's undefeated.
Look at the windmills, look at the windmills Again, again, again with the windmills.
Come on.
You're stressed.
- You think so? - Yes.
Look, once we get Sports X up and running, I want you to go away and recharge.
I want you to think about a vacation in a beautiful locale.
Well, OK, we're headed to one.
Well, after we're done meeting with Lance, I'm gonna leave you so you get your R&R.
OK, all right.
You're not exactly the beacon of mental health either, my friend.
- What's that supposed to mean? - Maybe I should drop you off at the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage.
It's the original franchise.
Only the best for you.
Well, it's a waste of time for me, OK? Plus, I don't have substance abuse issues.
Oh ho! Really? Oh, wow.
No sex addiction? That's not a valid addiction.
That's opportunity and appetite.
- Alcohol? Pain meds? - No, no, no.
I enjoy them.
I don't need them.
There's a big difference.
Delusional.
Check.
What about depression? I'm not depressed.
No.
I am a little tortured, but not depressed.
OK.
Finally, an admission, some self-awareness.
That, my friend, that is the first step on the road to recovery.
So does that mean you're ready to talk now? Or are you just gonna keep avoiding it? There's a lot of shit in my head, Joe.
Well, that is not a healthy way to exist.
Take it from me, I know.
Well, suicide doesn't only kill the person who commits it, it also kills the ones they left behind.
OK.
So your brother's death is weighing on you.
Right? You just need to do a better job of compartmentalizing.
You should do what I did after my wife died.
- Celebrate? - (LAUGHS) No, no.
No, no, no, right after that.
What I did was, I took a small, very, very, very beautiful mental picture of her and I locked it away in the deep, deep recesses of my brain.
That sounds so fucked up.
- Yeah, it sounds so fucked up.
- That's why you have issues.
It sounded OK when I was just thinking it, but when I said it out loud, it didn't sound as good.
How about this? Why don't we just go take care of business, and then after that, we'll go take care of us.
Me and you, two for one, Betty Ford.
Oh, my God.
Couples Betty Ford? - Yes.
- Let's do it.
(COUGHING) Excuse me.
Should we get you some water, Mr.
Hagerty? No, no, it's OK.
Just the asbestos, that's all.
Asbestos, my ass.
It's from all the Kools he used to smoke.
Besides, if the asbestos doesn't get me and these kids, the lead poisoning will.
You being serious, Mr.
Hagerty? Unfortunately, I am.
Lead builds character.
I mean, look at us.
Hey, ol' Reg, there's our old homeroom.
Let's take a look.
(SCOFFS) REGGIE: Straight to the back like the old days.
Just like you boys left it.
Nothin's changed.
Only much, much worse.
Damn budget committee! Are you all right, Vernon? Yeah, just give me a hand up.
Good, 'cause we don't have proper liability coverage.
OK, Mr.
Hags, you win.
We'll do the right thing and make a donation.
I'm thinkin', like 5K? (BELL RINGS) Great day.
Thanks for bringing me, babe.
That was sweet of you.
Yeah.
Kisan, he's hilarious, right? He's stupid-funny.
A lot of fun.
He's crazy, too.
His whole crew is.
They always are.
Always, yeah.
You know a lot of his boys? - A few.
- How many is a few? Is this some type of trick fuckin' question? No, you said "always crazy," not "crazy.
" Like you have some kind of history.
Uh, no, you said his crew is crazy, idiot.
I just agreed.
What are you trying to get at? Nothing.
I'm just gonna sit out here and watch the Golf Channel.
Check the leader board.
See how Tiger's doing.
If you think I'm gonna let you come at me with all this passive-aggressive bitch-like shit and get way with it, you got the wrong girl.
Fine.
He told me that you had a thing with Tiger.
- Who told you? Cheating Kisan? - What When he Don't start stuttering and muttering now.
Yeah, Kisan, he told me.
But he said not to say anything, so We know how that worked out.
I couldn't help myself.
What's that fool doing talking about my business when he's rolling around with some skank - behind Tiffany's back, anyway? - Was it true? You're asking me if I hooked up with Tiger? - Yeah, I am.
- Duh.
I was waitressing at Waffle House.
"Duh.
" That's how you answer whether or not you fucked somebody? "Duh"? - What is that? - I'm gonna go home.
Donna, wait.
Come on, I love you.
That's what I'm trying to say.
I'm sorry.
You're really telling me you love me for the first time after we just talked about me fuckin' Tiger Woods.
- I am.
- You're a sick fuck, you know that? And I love you too.
Listen, we don't have to tell Kisan, though.
Right? Like I'm gonna say anything to Kisan.
Come on, you know I'm cooler than that.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING) - Hi.
- Nombres? (LAUGHS) Nombres.
Spencer Strasmore and Joe Krutel.
Sorry, whose list? 'Cause you're not on Lance's.
Not on Lance's? Can I see this? What the fuck, dude? HAGERTY: I stand before you all to introduce a young man who sat in the very same seats as you Kind of.
You broke the damn thing.
walked the same halls, studied the same classes, and of course, played on the same field.
With the help and guidance of his friend, General Carver's astute Reggie Morris.
Astute? Man's smooth, I'll give him that.
You are, Reg.
Maybe I could stand to be a bit more philanthropic.
After all, I mean, five grand ain't shit.
I think that, uh, we can up it a tiny bit.
You sure? It is with great pleasure that we retire the number 90 and rename our field The LittelField! (CHEERS, APPLAUSE) (MARCHING BAND PLAYS) (MUSIC CONTINUES) HAGERTY: All right.
I don't want to stop the music, but I'm a man of action, not words, so I just want to thank y'all from the bottom of my heart and say I'm donating a million dollars to the school, y'all! (CROWD CHEERING) What the fuck are you doin', man?! Are you fuckin' high? Hey, band, how about y'all play me something I know? Please.
Come on, y'all.
(BAND PLAYING "NOTHIN' BUT A G THANG") (BONG WATER BUBBLING) If you want, I can talk to him, I sort of speak his language.
Yeah? What's that, douche? Hey, bro.
Where's Lance? No clue, dude, but take a chill pill, would you? No, I'm not gonna take any pills, all right? Neither should you.
You shouldn't do any of that shit.
Drugs are bad.
Just say no.
Never chill.
Never chill.
Hey, listen, I know you're upset, but there's no need to ruin everybody else's night, you know? A-A-And not all drugs are bad.
I mean, ask Steve Jobs.
He's dead.
Not from taking LSD.
As a matter of fact, he's on record as saying it helped with his creativity.
Joe, cut the shit, all right? Our ass is on the line, your ass is on the line, with this fucking company we purchased.
I'm aware of that, I just like to deflect in moments of crisis.
LANCE: Whoa! Fellas! I'm so happy you could make it.
Yeah, well, your warm welcome is a little surprising considering we weren't even on the list.
That's an oversight, I can assure you.
- Administrative error.
- SPENCER: Ah.
- Great party.
- If you can't share it with the ones that helped you make it, who can you share it with? Who's paying for all the gratitude that you're spreading around here? Again with the money.
Yeah, again with the money.
It's our money, and we want to know where it's going.
A million bucks for a skate video seems a little fuckin' excessive.
And liberating.
And I can't wait to get back out there to it again.
You're gonna love it when it's finished, mate.
You missed his point totally, Lance.
(CLEARS THROAT) This whole thing feels a little bit like a big "fuck you" to us.
JOE: Oh, no.
Come on.
- I can't believe that.
- I'm pretty sure it does.
Lance, tell him.
It's all a matter of perception.
I've been working on this video for months, and when I get a chance to spend more of your money, I'll gleefully take it.
Hence the added scope.
Yeah, yeah.
Hence the added scope after-party.
Exactly! We're finally on the same page.
Feels a little bit like insubordination.
- Wouldn't you say? - Yeah, Lance, you gotta get yourself in check, man.
You come to my house and you let him embarrass me like this.
Gentlemen, you need to keep yourselves in check.
I'll remind you, I'm not an employee.
I built this company.
I work for me.
I answer to me.
We get that.
We understand.
But this thing has to run more efficiently, you know? Like a big family.
Like a giant dysfunctional fuckin' family.
We pumped a lot of our own money into this company, Lance.
- Into you! - Well, then, I guess you're fucked, because you bought the company, but you didn't buy me.
I'm drawing a line in the sand, mate, yeah? 'Cause let me tell ya.
I ain't changing.
I'm gonna do whatever the hell I want, whenever the hell I want, with whoever I want, whenever I want.
Do you feel me? I feel you.
Do you feel me? Yeah.
Ow.
I do feel you, yeah.
Ow.
OK, good.
I want you to feel this too.
You're fired, mate.
Ah, fuck.
Got mine fitted to the side when I wear mine Why these boys keep reachin' for my plate knowin' I don't wanna share mine? Why these squares keep lyin' when they swear blind? Why they talking like I never made bare grime? Two fools like I never had a spare 9 Don't don't need a co-sign from the mayor cos I got a pretty penny I ain't beggin' in my spare time Why these bitches wanna hit me with the bare whine? These bitches ain't even worth the airtime Why these singers always gotta use Melodyne? Why these rappers ain't got prepared lines? Why you gotta keep gassin' up their dead rhymes? Why I gotta be a hater when I tell the truth? If you're really spittin' fire where's the bloody proof? If you ain't got the juice What's the bloody use? Cos I'm used to the true spitters on the roof East side of the river that's the bloody roots Had to put in work like a pair of muddy boots Too big for my boots that's the truth No excuse for you new recruits Bunch of dilutes, and a few flukes I've been out of the loop, pepper MCs with a few nukes Bunch of fashion MCs think they're too cute Bunch of rubbish MCs stick 'em in a chute Chuck 'em out of a helicopter with no parachute I'm a true brute It ain't up for dispute (ECHOES) Up for dispute, up for dispute SPENCER STRASMORE: Lance is not the primary asset of Sports X, the talent is.
What do we do now? Well, we stabilize our client list and we rally the troops.
