Original subtitles

Ah, my two favorite girls.

Danica Patrick and Jillian Michaels are here?

You're in a chipper mood.

Well, why wouldn't I be?

"Bike lanes, the Fed,

the fact that we're still living under the tyranny of daylight savings."

I think my dream project might be assigned.

I got a 63 'Vette I need to restore.

This could be like my Michelangelo's David.

Except this won't be naked

and it'll have a much bigger engine on it.

Man, I had no idea running my own coffee truck

would be so exhausting.

Plus, everyone I deal with hasn't had coffee yet.

Yeah, startups are brutal.

I can't say much.

I signed an NDA with my friend Genevieve.

We signed in glitter pen, but it still counts.

- Well, good morning. - What's good about it?

Oh, you're grumpy, and your grandpa's a ray of sunshine.

Is this the Freakiest Friday?

- I got fired from Game Hunt. - What? Did they tell you why?

My boss said I'm not made for the video game industry.

Well, your butt print on the couch says something different.

- Love you guys. - Love you.

- See you guys. - Bye.

- I'm gonna go tell off his boss. - No.

And while I'm at the mall,

I'll get my sweet boy a treat to make him feel better.

He's a teenager, not a corgi.

I think he would appreciate having his mom stick up for him.

How'd you feel about me going and talking

to your volleyball coach when you were in high school?

Talk? You told him to bench me.

Your team lost six games straight.

Something had to change.

Stop drooling on my renderings. Come on.

- Move, move, move. - Oh, yeah.

You should have seen what he did with these leather swatches.

I wouldn't pick them up without gloves.

So who's the client?

I don't know. We're going to meet him in a minute.

Important thing to remember is Greg's Customs screwed up,

so we got the job.

Hey, you know what?

We should send them an Edible Arrangement as condolences.

Let's send two.

Look, I gotta say, buddy,

you really impressed me with this color interior.

This brown is gorgeous.

Biscotti with sepia and hazelnut accent.

Brown.

But listen, I want you in on this pitch. Do you mind?

- Really? - Yeah, yeah.

I always knew this would happen for you and now that it has,

I hate you.

Come on. It's not like he got the rose at The Bachelorette.

You know?

That show is popular for a reason.

Hey, I'm looking for Matt Parker. I'm Keith Rodriguez.

I own the Corvette.

Hi, I'm Matt Parker. Nice to have you here.

This is my crew. Guys, Keith. Feel free to bow.

Stop, no bowing, but a curtsy will do.

Hi, I'm nervous.

I mean, uh, Gabe, Gabe's nervous.

I'm Gabe. I just want to get my hands on your car.

Oh. Hey, Stitch.

Oh, you guys know each other?

Yeah. It's, uh, it's been a long time.

Not long enough.

Well, now that you're all caught up...

Why don't you sit down here for a minute, Keith?

Let's take a look at the little presentation.

Okay. All right.

This is your car. This is what we're doing.

The inspiration for moving your car into the future

is the old Grand Sport. Now, the Grand Sport,

unlike public urination here in North Hollywood, is illegal.

Take some of the elements of this and, bingo,

this is where we're going to take it.

But what's really cool about it,

we're going vintage on everything but the interior.

Stitch, tell him the interior.

It's brown.

Hey, Mom, I saw you called. What's up?

Oh, I left you a voicemail.

Voicemail? What are you, a thousand?

That's only funny when it's aimed at Grandpa.

If you had listened, you would have heard my good news.

I went to Game Hunt to see your ex-boss, Blake.

- Oh, my God, you got my job back? - No, he asked me out.

He's like 21 and does not know how to take "ew" for an answer,

but, uh, good to know your mom's still got it.

So what's the good news?

You have a new job with a super cool boss.

Me? I'm the super cool boss.

Holla!

Please don't holla.

I know you better than anyone and with the right guidance,

you will make an awesome employee.

Yeah, Bring it in. Ah!

Thanks, Mom. I won't let you down.

Yeah, and we're gonna show your ex-boss just how wrong he is.

Except about me being hot.

It's a car like this

is the reason I'm in the resto-mod business.

I just love doing this. This car will be

the most impressive thing you've ever seen.

Or smelled.

Our finish wax is green apple. Yummers.

I'm not supposed to talk.

Okay. Yummers.

Let's do this, Matt.

Oh, excellent. Excellent.

You won't be disappointed. Thanks for your business.

- Sure. - Thanks, and I'll get the paperwork off to you.

- Yep. - Yes!

Oh, this is such a great job. Great job.

How do the young kids say it? I love me some me.

- This is a call for celebration. - Okay.

- Well, you nailed it, boss. - Thank you.

Just so you know, I'm not working on the car.

- What? - You heard me.

I'm not working on that car.

Sorry, I already got the cork started.

Stitch, why won't you work on this car?

You don't know the dude.

On a scale of Cruella de Vil and Saddam Hussein,

he's the dude in Seven with the box.

All right. You don't like him. I don't like Jay Leno, right?

"Yeah, that Jay Leno

He talks like this all the time."

That's not how he sounds.

He sounds like this at home.

I'm Jay Leno.

But I'd still take the dude's money.

Find somebody else to do the interior.

Give me a reason why I would do that.

Why? You always say employees should be seen and not heard.

Oh, you're using my own words against me?

That's real good.

He's your friend. You got to talk to him.

Best friend. I mean...

we don't put a label on it or anything.

You know, a best friend?

Yeah. I'll talk to him.

Carter, what are you doing?

I'm about to drop a killer meme

in the Bronas Brothers group chat.

It's about to get three hahas and a cowboy emoji.

Well, you work here now,

so maybe help me serve these customers?

By the way, what are all these kids doing here?

Are we the new cool coffee shop?

Don't tell them I love Imagine Dragons.

Uh, no. It's all me. Took some initiative

and launched a social media campaign.

Well done, Carter.

More importantly, well done me for getting the best out of you.

I'm like that, uh, sports coach

on the sports team that won all the sports championships.

Man, I wish I knew sports so I could get that reference.

Hey, man, can I get one more?

Of course. Here you go, valued customer.

Um, Carter, we don't do free refills.

Oh, yeah, that's not a free refill

because I didn't charge him for the first one.

You're giving away free coffee?

We only do that for firemen,

and not because they're hot.

Because they're heroes. Hot heroes.

Mom, it's like the freemium model in gaming.

Once they get hooked on the coffee,

they'll buy everything else we sell.

We only sell coffee.

Mom, Uber didn't make money for the first 14 years.

Okay, but if I don't make money for 14 years, we all die.

It's okay. We all make mistakes.

Thanks. I'm glad you're not mad.

I need to take the rest of the day off.

Gotta maintain that work-life balance, you know?

Namaste.

Now I get why everyone hates nepo babies.

Hey, buddy.

No.

Come on. Just...

talk to me, okay?

I'm here for you to listen

and perhaps plant a seed of healing.

Did you just blow in my ear? Get the hell off me!

Matt told you to talk to me?

No.

You're a bad liar.

- It's only because he cares. - You really are a bad liar.

Forget about Matt. Who's this Keith dude?

Man, it was something that happened when we were younger.

It was a bad time, man.

Look, I don't want to get into it. So as my friend--

Best friend. Never mind. Continue.

I'm not working on that car, so I need you to let it go.

Like when you asked me why you can't give a Black man the nod?

I got you.

Look, Gabe, I appreciate

what you're trying to do, man, but I just need you to drop it.

All right, I got it.

If you ever want to talk, I'm here for you.

I love you.

You just made a bad day worse!

Did you talk to Stitch? What did he say?

He's still not going to work on the car.

Why not?

He says it's his business, not ours.

My guess is this goes deeper than we think.

Just like that American Apparel V-neck I wore in 2008.

Well, this doesn't sound like Stitch.

This is something he's never done before.

Look, boss, Stitch and I

were supposed to do that car together.

So if he's out, I'm out too.

You know the code of the shop.

The only code in the shop is Matt want, Matt get.

That's not true. The Wi-Fi code is Freedom Fries.

Man, I want to get my hands on that thing.

Ah, relax. It's just a car, and it ain't even that sexy.

That's why I'm turned the other way,

thinking about baseball.

I want to touch it so bad, but I can't.

It's like when I saw that penguin at SeaWorld.

Bet that penguin didn't have this kind of potential, huh?

It did not. It also bit.

You guys are missing out.

This could be an award winner at SEMA.

Hope you like froyo, because that's what's going to happen.

He means FOMO, but don't correct him.

Listen, Gabe, enough of this playing around.

We got to start taking all the trim off of this thing.

Told you, boss, I'm not going to work on this car.

Well, it's okay with me because we got plenty

of other people in the shop can do all the work.

Don't need you or Stitch. I can do upholstery.

Yeah. I took Home-Ec when I was in high school.

Good way to meet girls, that's what I thought.

Turned out, one girl

and 25 other guys thought the same thing.

This is not your fight.

No, I got your back.

But if this goes sideways, I'm moving in with you.

Ow! Son of a Marxist!

You all right, boss?

Or you need one of your boys from Home-Ec to help you out?

I just got my first piercing.

Oh, hell. I got to move to Portland.

Now you can use the leather as a tourniquet.

I'm done with this, you know.

You work on cars that I bring in.

That's how this works.

Look, I worked for you for 20 years.

I don't want to work

on this one car, and you can't respect that?

How about you respect me and tell me what's going on?

My reasons are personal, okay?

We leave our personal stuff outside.

Here, I'll tell you what. You come in tomorrow,

you work on the car, or don't come in.

Both of you.

I am dizzy.

Hey, what are you still doing up?

I had a nightmare.

Genevieve told Evan our business plan and ruined everything.

And they were both Labubus.

I'm not really a new age person, but maybe you should

cut down on the sugar before you go to bed.

Georgia?

She's got a little nightmare.

Oh, monsters?

Copyright infringement.

Checks out.

I'll come check on you in a minute.

So, you're up late.

Was it a very special two-hour Hannity ?

He only does that at Christmas time.

Putting a little extra work on this Corvette project.

What are you doing up?

Well, I hired Carter.

And I thought he'd thrive with an arm around his shoulder,

but he sucks.

He sucks so much.

- So fire him. - I can't fire him. He's my son.

I have to help him become the best employee he can be.

But he sucks.

He sucks so much.

As your employee and as your kid,

it's a complicated issue, you know?

And you're not rich enough

to raise your kids as if they don't suck.

- Great. So I'm failing as a mom? - No.

So I'm failing as a boss.

No, you're failing at both.

- And there's my dad. - Listen, sometimes you got

to keep your personal feelings

out of business. Like today,

I had to use a little tough love with Stitch and Gabe.

You know, I don't like yelling at people.

I'm just really good at it.

Oh. Well, you know what they say...

10,000 hours makes you an expert.

Okay. Look, one more question for you.

If he wasn't your son, what would you do?

- Oh, I'd fire his ass. - There's your answer.

Oh, you're just gonna leave me with that?

Like some capitalist Yoda?

Fire his ass, you must.

Stitch?

Man, listen, I was up all night. I couldn't sleep.

You know what?

I'm gonna do the car.

I'm gonna do it for the shop. I'm gonna do it for you.

And I'm gonna do it because Gabe sent me three links

trying to buy bunk beds.

Now, for the record, I'm not going to be happy about this.

I get it. I'm never happy.

But I'm a little bit happy right now.

Look, man, you gave me a job when no one else would.

No, I gave you a job

because you're the best at what you do.

There's no other reason.

Loyalty.

Means a lot to me, man.

- I'm not going to hug you. - I don't want you to hug me.

Doesn't mean I don't appreciate you.

- Good. - I'm just not gonna hug you.

You can show me appreciation. You ain't got to hug me.

I never said anything about-- I'm just not gonna hug you.

- I don't want to be hugged. - Okay. Forget it.

- Let's do this. - All right. Just no hug.

- Okay. - Hey, Matt.

I have something I need to say.

- It's okay, we-- - Ah, bup, bup, bup.

I would like to read from a prepared statement.

"Dear Matt, my time at Parker Customs and Restorations

"has been fruitful and made me the man that I am today.

A man who is good with his hands but also good with his heart."

- Gabe. You don't have-- - Bup, bup, bup, bup.

I wanna hear the rest of this.

Watch this train derail and run into an orphanage.

"While I honor and respect you,

"I must also honor and respect the bro code.

"I have Stitch's back, no matter what.

"So, even if it costs me my job, which it doesn't have to,

"but if it does, please say it won't...

"I have to do what I feel is right.

Please don't fire me."

Stitch is working on the car and so are you.

Matt, didn't you want to see him beg?

I'm pretty sure he was gonna cry.

- No, I wasn't. - Eh...

I love you guys so much.

No hugging!

Carter, you're late.

Sorry, Mom,

but I had a real light bulb moment this morning.

Me too. The one in my closet went out.

Pretty sure I'm wearing a tank top as underpants.

Okay, here it goes. To make up for all the free coffee,

we charge double for everything and blame the tariffs.

No one knows how they work anyway.

Sit down. I want to talk to you.

Cool. I could use a break. Ooh!

I love that you have ideas, but the ideas that you have...

How can I put this? They suck.

They suck so much.

Wow. Someone's got their tank top in a bunch.

You know, when I started waitressing at a casino,

I had all these great ideas,

but they didn't hire me for my ideas.

They hired me to wait tables.

Just like I hired you to take out the trash,

get here on time, work to the end of your shift.

You don't do any of those.

Wow, you sound like my old boss.

I'm triggered. I need a mental health day.

I've always tried to protect you from failing,

but I'm not doing you any favors.

It's time you learn the value of hard work.

Carter...

You're fired.

What?

You're fired.

Are you saying-- Did you just fire me?

Well, if you're gonna put words in my mouth, then yes.

Fired by my own mom. Burn.

Well, I'm sorry, but you need a little tough love right now.

I love you so much.

Oh, you'll always be Mommy's special boy.

Do you want to go to the mall and get a treat?

Sign the estimate and we'll pretend that'll be your final costs.

And then you can be on your way.

Ah, the estimate. The business world shrug emoji.

Okay, so keep me updated.

And, uh, everything's good with Stitch?

Yeah, it's none of my business, really.

Is there anything I should know?

He's probably just jealous because I got the girl.

Oh, God. Always about a girl, isn't it?

You know, most people don't know

the Revolutionary War wasn't really about independence.

It was about Denise.

- See, you get it. - Yeah.

I mean, the thing with me and Stitch was forever ago.

I don't know, we were maybe 22.

Stitch had this girl, he was out of town, she got lonely. So...

Well, at 22 years old, he wasn't out of town.

He was in Afghanistan, wasn't he?

I think so.

He was serving our country.

Well, he should have thanked me for my service.

I know she did.

Oh, wow. Um...

Uh, I think I want you to get out of here.

What are you talking about?

I want you to get out of the shop.

We're not going to work on your car.

You see where the comma is on that check, right?

Here's where the comma is in the check.

You got to go. You got to get out. Go, go.

Hey, you're making a bigger deal about this than it is.

No, no. No, I mean, get out.

And then I want this car out of here by 5:00.

- Go! Let's go! - Fine.

What's going on?

We're not working on this dude's car.

Why not?

Loyalty means something to me.

Are you sure? This is a big job.

There's things that are more important than money.

Not a lot, but some.

Not Gabe.

Thank you.

Let's bring it in.

We're not gonna hug!

Let's get out of here, grab a drink.

Let's get out of here and get a drink.

I like that idea. Huh?

♪ Oh, yeah ♪

Wait, wait.

It's 10:00. Where are we going?

We got work to do.

Hey, Mom, I gotta tell you something.

Well, she already knows what's on your laptop.

Uh, no, I got my job back at Game Hunt.

- You did? - Your tough love really worked.

You went full Grandpa on me.

Oh, the Padawan becomes a Jedi.

I went to Blake, and I told him I'd step it up.

I'd do whatever dirty work needed to be done.

I am proud of you.

But you could have done that here.

- So you want me back? - God, no.
