- Howdy!
- Here we go.
Understand our, uh, our sons
got into a bit of a fight.
Yeah, sure did.
(SIGHS) I'm sorry I hit you.
How do you not know "Call of Duty"?
Gotta admit, it's kinda weird he
never heard of "Call of Duty."
I mean, game's been around for years.
There's, like, 15 versions of it.
Yeah, well, uh, we don't, uh, we don't
play video games at our house.
But that's okay if y'all do.
That's weird.
Yeah, why don't you, uh, tell
him the thing we talked about?
Go on.
I hope
I hope we can be together
next time in harmony.
Well, uh, we'll look into that.
Come on, pal.
BARRY: Huh?
(BIRDS CONTINUE CHIRPING)
JOHN: I wish Travis was nice
to me after I apologized.
BARRY: Well, you can't
control other people, bud.
We can only control ourselves.
JOHN: The more I think about it,
the more I wanna punch him again.
BARRY: Yeah, that's called insecurity.
You keep practicing what
you just did over there,
and you'll grow.
You'll be a better person for it.
But even his dad wasn't nice.
I picked up on that. (SIGHS)
But you didn't see me get mad, did you?
No.
I know how you feel, buddy.
You know, your dad used to get mad.
A lot.
But, uh, eventually, I was able
to control those feelings,
and then I had you, and I changed.
I'm really proud of you.
It's a hard thing that you did.
You messed up, but you
took responsibility for it.
It's the right way to live.
BARRY: Oh, I don't think
we have time for that.
- JOHN: I think I can do it.
- BARRY: Let's try it.
BARRY: Here we go. Okay, you ready?
(CONTINUES, INDISTINCT)
(SALLY SIGHS)
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
(METALLIC CLANG)
(SALLY HUMS)
BARRY: Let Dad do that. Let Dad do that.
- Dad'll do it.
- JOHN: Okay.
Dad's gonna do it. Okay? Here we go.
(SALLY CONTINUES HUMMING)
- (MUFFLED THUD)
- BARRY: No. Pick it up. Pick it up.
HOST (ON COMPUTER):
his face is the penny,
as well as the $5 bill.
Lincoln was born February
12th, 1809, in Kentucky.
His family was very poor
and lived in a one-room log cabin.
Later, when Lincoln was 9 years old,
his mother suddenly died.
Stupid bull got up there and
got his horn stuck in my bumper.
- About pulled it off.
- (COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)
So now, I gotta replace that,
I gotta replace the
(SOUTHERN ACCENT) Here y'all go.
Got your breakfast right here.
- Thank you, Miss Emily.
- Now, who needs a warm-up?
I'll take one.
(POURING COFFEE)
Kyle? How you doin' this morning?
- You enjoying a short stack?
- I sure am, Miss Ginny.
Oh
(QUIETLY) I'm gonna
need a fucking Xanny.
Oh! Mm!
(MUFFLED COUNTRY MUSIC)
(EXHALES)
Oh, hey. Did I tell you?
- Amber made cheer squad.
- Oh, hey, that's so great.
You must be so proud.
Oh, yeah. We're havin' a
big shindig to celebrate.
You should come.
We're gonna fry a turkey.
Oh, you know, I'd love to, but
we got Clark's mom, so
Oh, well, bring 'em all.
Yeah, I know, but she's, um
She's hooked up to all them machines,
and I'm afraid to unplug 'em.
Oh, that's fuckin' stressful.
Yep. (EXHALES)
Shit's real stressful.
Uh (EXHALES)
Bevel told me he jerks off to you.
- (CASH REGISTER CLICKING)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Hey, Emily.
What are you doin' right now?
Cashing out.
(BEEPING)
(BELL RINGS, DRAWER OPENS)
- That's cool.
- (SIGHS)
That's really fuckin' cool.
Cool.
(SHUTS REGISTER)
BARRY (ON PHONE): And
apparently, he was a lawyer
before he became the president.
Did you know that?
SALLY: I knew that, yeah.
BARRY: I think it's a good thing
for John to see that stuff.
You know, that, I don't know,
despite his circumstances,
he could be a lawyer.
SALLY: Yeah, no, totally.
I think it's great he's learning
about all that now.
I mean, I don't think I learned
about George Washington
or Abe Lincoln till I
was much older, so
BARRY: Yeah, totally.
What else did you guys learn about?
BARRY: You mean, what
else did I teach him?
Uh-huh.
BARRY: Oh, just basic math.
You know, I wanna get
into long division
(BARELY AUDIBLE) math
stuff, two plus two.
Things that, basically, you
know, what we could try to do
is come up with stuff with,
like, division, things like that.
You know, that's what I'm hoping
Hey, what do you guys want for dinner?
BARRY: (SIGHS)
BARRY: You know what
I like about Old Abe?
And, uh, it's actually
something I relate to
which is he had this beautiful
combination of, um
What was it? Pragmatism,
optimism, and compromise.
Absolutely. I see that.
- No, what you said. Um
- (SIGHS)
Pragmatism, optimism,
- and compromise.
- And compromise. Yeah.
'Cause I-I think that's
the building blocks
of anyone worth his salt.
I really do.
And he's now on a penny.
No, he's a real success story,
that Abe Lincoln,
'cause he worked hard,
and now he's on a penny.
(SHARP INHALE)
And a lot of pennies
can buy you socks
um
shoelaces.
You use those. (LAUGHS)
I've seen you.
Um
hairpins
He's an intricate part
of our life, John.
Mm-hmm.
BARRY: How's your food, John?
Pretty good, right? Chicken pot pie?
- (DISHES CLINKING)
- (DOOR SHUTS)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
BARRY (WHISPERING):
You gotta stop drinking at work.
SALLY (WHISPERING):
I don't drink at work.
BARRY: Sally, you came home drunk.
SALLY: I know, but I
didn't drink at work.
- (JOHN SIGHS)
- BARRY: Okay, but it's gotta stop.
- SALLY: You drink beer.
- BARRY: I'm throwing the wine away.
- SALLY: You drink beer.
- BARRY: Yeah, I drink beer,
and I know when to stop.
Look, you're setting a
terrible example for our son.
- You understand?
- SALLY: I'll stop when you stop.
BARRY: I'm not horse
trading with you, okay?
- (QUIET RATTLING)
- Now, let's let's just try to unwind
with no drinks.
Please?
Please?
Sally, don't answer me with a look.
- (INSECTS CHIRPING)
- (WIND BLOWING)
- (UPBEAT MUSIC ON COMPUTER)
- VLOGGER: Hey, guys.
Today, I'm gonna tell you all the
messed-up shit Abraham Lincoln did
that you'll never find in history books.
Number six on today's
countdown of "Heroes Exposed"
is old Honest Abe.
ACTRESS (OVER HEADPHONES):
I love Tom, and
I think I'm ready to get married.
NATALIE: Oh, boy.
Marriage is like a
package of jelly beans.
At first, it's fantastic.
Strawberry. Watermelon. Grape? (LAUGHS)
And then one day,
you get black licorice,
and you think to yourself, why
did I get these jelly beans?
But, Mom, what if I love black licorice?
Honey, nobody likes black licorice.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHTER)
MINISTER: The more
you focus on your pain,
the more you focus on your pity,
the bigger it gets,
and the more you doubt God.
In moments like this,
I think of Daniel in the lion's den.
If Daniel were to focus on those lions,
how would he sleep?
He wouldn't!
(LAUGHS)
He'd be scared to death,
waitin' to be eaten alive!
Now, how did he survive?
He survived because he
focused not on the lions,
but God.
See, you can't focus on the
pain, the pity, the fear.
You focus on what made those lions.
God.
- God will deliver us.
- (SALLY SIGHS)
God acts on behalf of
those who wait for him.
God acts on behalf of
those who wait for Him.
Peace be with you.
SALLY/BARRY: And also with you.
- Now, give thanks.
- (ACOUSTIC GUITAR PLAYING)
And may you go in love and peace.
- Peace be with you.
- Peace be with you.
- (APPLAUSE)
- Buddy. Peace be with you, pal.
Look at everything God's given us, John.
- It's beautiful.
- (WIND BLOWING, BIRDS CHIRPING)
We gotta honor it.
- You know what I mean?
- JOHN: Mm-hmm.
BARRY: Gotta keep everything
on God's land safe.
Everything from the
ants to the giant trees.
- JOHN: There's giant trees?
- BARRY: Oh, yeah. It's nuts.
You know, you gotta honor humans.
- You gotta honor Dad.
- (JOHN CHUCKLES)
Dad's gotta honor you.
- JOHN: What about Mom?
- BARRY: Mom. Sure.
Gotta honor Mom.
- JOHN: She cries a lot.
- BARRY: Oh, yes. Yes, she does.
But, you know what? Like I've said
there's happy cry, and
then there's sad cry
and then there's, uh
Well, there's Mom cry,
and that can be very loud and scary.
(CHILDREN LAUGHING)
I feel like I have a pretty
good way of talking her down.
As long as I'm calm,
and I'm saying, you know,
"You need to stop yelling
and you're spitting when you talk."
You know, those are
things (VOICE FADING)
Ah.
So close.
All right.
That was a pretty good throw.
Thought you said you
didn't know how to play.
You're gettin' the hang of it.
Maybe a little wild, but you got this.
(JOHN LAUGHS)
Oh, yeah. There you go.
Now, you got this.
(LAUGHS) Yeah!
Here, you can have this.
You know, you're good
enough to play right field.
Yeah?
Yeah, so next time your Dad takes a nap,
why don't you come on over to my place,
and I can show you how to hit?
It's not that hard.
Okay. Thanks.
All good.
- Can I ask you a question?
- Sure.
Does your mom wear hair
on top of her own hair?
(QUIET RUMMAGING)
(PLASTIC CRINKLING)
- Hey, Dad?
- Yeah?
Did you get that comforter?
- No.
- (PLASTIC CRINKLING)
My room's cold.
(SIGHS)
Listen, John, do you know th-the story
of the feeding of the five thousand?
See, wh-what happened was
Jesus was in the desert
with a bunch of his buddies,
about 5,000 of them,
and they were all hungry,
and all they had was a piece
of fish and a piece of bread.
You know what Jesus did?
He multiplied it all,
and he fed all of them.
- So, you did get my comforter?
- No.
No, th-the point of the story
is that God gives you
exactly what you need.
And don't whine.
(PLASTIC CRINKLING)
(SIGHS)
Ooh! My Lincoln book. Thank you.
I need that. (SIGHS)

get killed by a baseball.

Yeah, he's in jail.
SALLY: And this is your brother?
Dom, yeah.
- (BEVEL SNIFFS)
- Wow.
Did anyone die in the robbery?
Fuckin' teller.
The guy he was robbing the bank with
fuckin' blasted this poor teller.
Well, how'd that make your brother feel?
Uh, what do you mean
"How did it make him feel?"
(SCOFFS)
You rob a fuckin' bank,
the probability of someone
gettin' jacked is high.
That's hot.
Yeah?
Yeah.
BEVEL: Yeah
You ever done anything like that?
What? Blast some fools?
SALLY: Yeah.
Yeah.
And how did it make you feel?
Uh Like a god.
Like a bad boy god?
Uh-huh.
Are you a bad boy?
You know it, girl.
- Gimme your foot.
- SALLY: What?
Gimme your foot.
No, take your shoe off.
What do you think of that?
Impressive.
All I do at night is think
about your mouth on my dick.
Hm.
Okay.
Like you're sucking it.
No, I got it.
Well, I have to go to the bathroom.

(JOHN RUNNING)
(GRABS OBJECT)
It's got your picture.
(PANTING)
And medals and stuff.
BARRY: Wow.
Huh.
How'd you find this?
I've been looking for this.
You were in war?
(SIGHS) Well, John
I was gonna wait to tell you this.
But Ooh, let's do this on the swing.
Uh
Yeah. I was in war.
I was a Marine.
- A soldier?
- Yeah.
Marines are the best soldiers.
Some call me Marine. Other people
Well, they call me a hero,
but I don't like putting
labels on things.
You wanna keep that in your room?
You know, I found out some,
uh, interesting information
about our buddy Abe Lincoln.
Turns out, he had a bunch
of Native Americans killed.
Executed. Yeah.
He also proposed to Black people
that they go back to Africa.
(BLINDS RATTLING)
Got hundreds of men killed
at Shiloh and Antietam.
(DEEP SIGH)
News to me.
Saint Augustin?
The man was addicted
to bathhouses, John.
Now, he's, what,
third-most googled saint?
Something like that.
(SIGHS) Gandhi?
The original hippie? Gandhi?
He, uh Wait. I read it.
- Gandhi, uh, what'd he do?
- (LIGHTS CLICK)
Oh, yeah. His wife had pneumonia.
Doctors said, "You gotta
give her penicillin,"
but he said no because
of religious beliefs.
But then, when he got malaria,
he said, "Give me the drugs."
Tricky.
(DEEP SIGH)
Tricky legacy.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(HIGH HEELS CLATTERING)
(WHISPERS) I'm sorry.
I didn't know what to do.
- It's fine. Where is he?
- He's over there.
Okay.
- He said he's Gene Cousineau?
- That's what he said.
- Did he show you ID?
- He didn't have any.
He didn't come in a car. He walked up.
I don't think it's him.
Let me Google image.
(KEYS CLACKING)
What do you think?
I don't know. Both dudes are old.
Hi. Where did you come from?
I've been out of the
country a long time.
Okay. And who did you wanna speak with?
I'd like to talk to the person
who runs Warner Brothers.
Okay. About what?
Something that's come to
my attention recently.
And what's that?
I would rather talk to him.
Well, I work for him,
so I think you'll need to tell
me, and I'll relay it to him.
GENE: I would feel more
comfortable talking to him.
Well, I can't do that.
Why?
Because I don't think
you're Gene Cousineau.
Why?
Because he's been missing,
presumed dead, for eight years.
If you're planning what
I think you're planning,
you're gonna want to talk to me.
(SIGHS)
Keep him here.
(LIGHTS BUZZING)
Clean livin'.
My whole life has been a
testament to clean livin'.
I never touched the alcohol,
the drugs, crappy food.
(SCOFFS) Hell, I've been married
to the same woman since I was 18.
Years of clean living.
You'd think I'd be able to
judge people correctly, right?
Yeah.
Well, I thank you, Emily.
Oh, hey, that's no problem.
You're a very brave woman.
Most people turn a blind eye,
especially with a punk like Bevel.
(HELICOPTER FLYING OVERHEAD)
I think what took me in
was how much he reminded
me of my grandson.
I thought some honest work
would show him the joys of clean livin'.
- And then
- He steals from you.
Till tappin' little bastard.
SALLY: Mm-hmm.
(SIGHS) Well, you two are angels.
I'll find a replacement soon.
- (DOOR OPENS)
- (SIGHS, LAUGHS)
I'm not surprised.
(DOOR SHUTS)
I've thought about tapping the till.
But I got such a guilty conscious.
Probably just end up blowin'
my fuckin' brains out.
HOST: In honor of the
finale of "Just Desserts,"
we sit down with Natalie Greer,
the mind behind a show
that defined a generation.
So, we were on patrol,
and we came to this village
and two elders were
arguing over who killed
the other person's donkey,
which was a typical
occurrence over there.
And then, uh, a shot rang out.
(JOHN GASPS)
And do you know who was shot?
Who?
Albert.
- Your best friend?
- Yeah.
(BARRY SIGHS)
And I heard them shout my name.
"Medic! Medic! Get up here!"
So, I ran up there, and when I
found him, he was all messed up.
He looked terrible.
And they told me, they said,
"Clark, he's a goner."
And I said, "Not on my watch."
And I patched him up.
And I saved his life.
Did you kill the guys who shot him?
No, no, no.
No, my job was to protect our boys.
Just like I'm protecting you, John.
(BARRY SIGHS)
- I love you so much, Dad.
- Oh
I love you, too.
I love you too, buddy.
-
- But it's just so crazy
to have gone from, like,
being a chubby little kid
who loves cupcakes to
then, all of a sudden,
you know, the President
of the United States
is quoting our show at
the State of the Union.
Like, how did how did we
get this lucky, you know?
- Like, we're so lucky.
- (SIGHS)
Do you know that we almost
fired you season two?
- (NOTIFICATION CHIMES)
- (LAUGHS) Really?
Yes! Because you weren't
good yet, you know?
-
- Y-You were a kid,
- so you were bad, but
- (LAUGHS)
SALLY: Barry!
Who's Barry?
Shh.
- What?
- (HEAVY BREATHING)
SALLY: They're making a movie about us.
(HEAVY BREATHING)
I'm gonna have to kill Cousineau.
