[DISPATCH RADIO CHATTERING]

Ohl! Jeez.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you for waiting.

| always forget the goddamn camera.

You know, the other day, after Damian’s graduation,

we get home, he goes to bed,

and all of a sudden | realize,

| didn’t take one picture of him.

Right. Poor kid.

| made him get up

and put back on his class A's.

Come on, they’re all in there.

| need you to tell me he’s going to be okay.

Did | not get him into this firehouse? You don’t trust me?

Look, this is the same firehouse

that was on the cover of the Post last week.

Let’s see, what was it? Oh, Jesus Christ.

"Cancer boy smokes bravest."

Okay. It’s the New York Post, all right?

Second of all, he couldn’t be in a safer firehouse, okay?

It’s like getting hit by lightning, or,

you know, eaten by a shark.

The chances of it happening again here,

it’s like a million-to-1.

Ten million-to-1. It’s like

Listen, him being here--

Mm-hm?

It’s not what | want, okay?

But it’s what he wants. Uh-huh.

And so | am busting butt

trying to be all supportive and happy and shit,

but you, | need you

to tell me that everything’s gonna be okay

so that | don’t go out of my goddamn mind with worry.

| need you to tell me that he’s not gonna get hurt.

Sheila, he’s a goddamn fireman now, okay?

| mean, he’s gonna get hurt. He’s-- Ow!

He’s gonna get, you know, banged up, but--

Oh! Hey!

Don’t-- Don’t you hit me again. Then don’t say that again.

He won't get burnt. That’s the best | can do.

[SIGHS] Jesus Christ.

Look, it’s not just me saying it.

You know that if Jimmy were here,

he would be saying the same thing to you.

He would say,

"Just watch after my kid.

What? Stay close to him."

I’m-- I’m doing that.

Don’t you think he’d be really proud today?

Oh, boy. Yes, he would be really proud.

Now, you gotta get in that kitchen

because Lou’s been in there in that cave for about 10 minutes,

and believe me, that is 10 minutes too long.

Ok, all right, squeeze in, Mikey.

A little more. Come on.

A little more. A little more.

Okay, get ready to smile. Everyone say "V.D."

ALL: V.D.! Oh. Wait, wait, | didn’t--

Just another one! Come on. Come on, chill.

I’ve been in this room with the cake for 10 minutes

and | haven’t eaten it yet. It's completely unnatural.

Blow them out, big guy. Let her take another.

All right, yay! Yay!

[ALL CHEERING]

Congratulations, probie. You're now Officially a member

of the brotherhood of dysfunctional action junkies.

It is gonna be an honor and a privilege

to make your life a living hell every day

Yes. for the next year.

Shawn, | hope that you’re not talking about hazing,

‘cause in this day and age,

| think it’s something that the department would frown upon.

DAMIAN: Mom, stop. Hazing is a rite of passage.

| wouldn’t be a real firefighter without it.

That is a very mature attitude you're displaying.

I’m happy to hear you say that.

You just keep that in mind

when we treat you to a walk with Fido.

[ALL LAUGH] What's that one again, Frank?

That’s when you go out on the sidewalk,

find a steaming lump of dog shit,

put it in the guy’s boots and hope for a really long call

so you can watch him walk around in shit.

Or the San Diego Charger.

Oh! When they replace the bath mat with the electrical blanket

and when the guy gets out of the shower

and steps on and gets shocked?

No, that’s the San Quentin.

Sure? Isn’t the San Quentin

when you attach a car battery to a metal chair,

and make it the only place where a guy can sit for lunch?

No, no, that’s the Jumper Seat. Oh, Jumper Seat, yeah.

There’s too many, you're making me sweat.

There’s not that many. There’s the Shits and Giggles,

there’s the Toledo Wake-Up Call. LOU: That’s a classic.

Of course, the Spic ’N Span. What's the Spic ’N Span?

Oh, the Bald and the Beautiful.

LOU: Oh, yes! Why, what’s that?

Why, what is that? What is it?

The Bald and Beautiful is,

you take a guy’s shampoo and empty it out

and refill it with Nair. So when he’s, uh--

We don't really do that one anymore.

We kind of cast that one out. Yeah, right, right.

It’s not cool. My pubes didn’t grow back for, like, two months.

Like a 10-year-old boy. That was the only time

your looks actually matched your intellect.

Okay, | think that this has been super fun,

but I’m gonna go to church now and start praying.

Mama, don’t leave yet. Don’t leave me with the baby.

Thought you were gonna come out on a couple of runs,

hang out for a couple days. You're so funny. No, I’m fine.

Because | know that Damian is in good hands.

And he’s being watched over by a great bunch of guys.

And Tommy. SHEILA: And Tommy.

So funny. [OTHERS LAUGH]

Hey, look, he is now Officially part of the family,

and you are in capable hands.

And | think we got, Tommy, a little something.

Yes, we do.

We have your dad’s spare bunker jacket

which he wore several times as his backup.

But now, it is officially yours.

He would have been proud.

Yeah. Jimmy would be real proud.

Jimmy is proud. LOU: We all are.

TOMMY: And his mother’s crying.

That’s not why we did it. I’m okay.

Need to take another picture. No, no, no, Sheila,

I'll take the picture. You get in, come on.

| got it, | got it. | don’t know if | wound it.

No, | got it, | got it.

You okay? SHAWN: Ah, there it is.

Franco, move your big head.

Let Mikey get in, come on.

Okay. Okay, Tommy, look up. Look up.

And one, two--

Yeah! [ALL CHEERING]

It’s gonna go really well on your living-room wall, Sheila.

Thank you, honey. Yeah, no problem.

Okay, you guys.

Now, Damian, you be safe.

And | will see you tonight, okay?

No, none of that stuff. Aw. Come on.

Oh, no, no, you guys.

It’s okay. It’s totally okay.

Okay. [ALL LAUGH]

SHEILA: All right, guys, bye.

See you, Sheil. Bye.

So nice of your mother to stop by.

All right, kids, the party’s over, I’m afraid.

It’s time to suit up. And let’s get some work done around here.

Yeah.

But first, here is to Damian!

Oh! Yes!

To Damian! To Damian!

Yeah! Yeah!

To Damian! Yes!

To Damo! Damo!

[ALL LAUGHING]

| got a el duble.

Oh! Yeah!

Yeah, nice and pretty.

Nice. Wait, wait, wait.

Oh. Oh, no.

Oh!

To Damian! Yes, yes!

Let’s get at. Yes.

There you go. To Damian!

Come on, Damian.

Have some fun. There you go.

Have some fun. Ohl!

Pistachios, peanuts, yeah?

Whoo! Come on. Come on.

ALL [CHANTING]: Cake, cake, cake, cake!

ALL: Yeah!

[LOU LAUGHS]

FRANCO: Yes! [LAUGHS]

Beautiful.

There! Nice!

That was a good one, probie. Very nice.

Yeah, probie! | knew it.

FRANCO: Making Dad proud. Thank you.

The good stuff.

All right. Now, uh... [WHISTLES]

Clean up all this shit.

Yep. What?

No, it’s, uh, no questions, probie. Clean it up.

Now, punk. Bee-atch.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, uh, welcome to the 62 Truck, kid.

[CHUCKLES]

Um, this is called the, uh,

Spic ’N Span, by the way.

Minus the spic.

[LAUGHS]

| really gotta clean this all up?

Yep. Don’t worry, it could be worse.

How?

Jesus Christ. It’s a brass ring about 7 inches in diameter

with an adjustable clasp on one side.

Are you actually telling me you made it all the way

through probie school without seeing a universal hose coupler?

Lou, | searched through the entire basement.

| didn’t see anything matching that description.

Well, then you know what, Damian? Search again.

And don’t come back to me until you find one, okay?

All right. Is this one of those wild-goose chase things

where it doesn’t exist and you're just busting my balls?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, well, well, you know what, Damian?

Uh, you caught me.

So, uh, what do we do now?

| Know. Why don’t you leave me your boots

and go out onto the street and find me a big pile of dog shit?

I'll Keep looking for the coupler.

That’s a good choice. See you.

Bye-bye.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Universal hose coupler?

Always a favorite. | love it.

Hey, uh, Lou, did you get a call

about this Johnny Bones thing tomorrow night?

Oh, yeah, 7:00 way out in Brooklyn someplace?

What, are they dedicating something to him?

Yeah, like a banquet hall or something like that.

It’s great. The guy dies 9/11,

it takes them eight years to get a memorial together.

Probably organized by the bunch of dipshits

putting up the Freedom Tower. At the rate that’s going,

they'll have to dig us out of our graves

to go to the unveiling. We should make an appearance,

show our respect. Yeah.

Those things are always swelling with assholes.

Yeah. Hey, but you remember his widow,

Kim-- Kimmy? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, you know she’s gonna be there.

And, uh, the word is,

she took a big chunk of that widow money,

bought herself some tits to match that ass.

BOTH: We should probably go.

Just-- You know, for the--

Hey, chief. [GRUMBLES]

Half a day today, chief?

What’s that supposed to mean, asshole?

Um, nothing,

just being not funny, | guess.

Yeah. Well, I’m a little late getting to the house,

but | was right on time for my 7:30 reaming

down at headquarters.

It’s funny, they’re still a little miffed about

the whole cancer kid stealing one of our vehicles things.

They’re looking for someone’s head to be served up.

I’m just trying to figure out who that’s gonna be.

[WHISPERS] Yeah, that’s a toughie.

Keep writing, Lou. I’m thinking Gavin.

LOU: Hey. Oh, hey.

| just heard Damian swearing a blue streak

down in the basement.

The old universal hose coupling?

Correct. | remember that one.

Yeah. We just pulled it on you last week. What’s this?

Oh, it’s a benefit for Garrity

to help him out with his medical expenses.

At the bar this Saturday night, my band’s playing.

We’re totally gonna rock.

You're not putting these up outside the house, are you?

Yeah, Jesus Christ. Exactly what we need.

Advertising for our totally illegal under-the-table joint.

No, no, they’re just for us,

and a few guys at other houses who know Sean, you know?

Check it out, dude.

Apache Stone?

Yep. That’s my band.

It sounds like a Native American gift shop in Tucson.

Yeah, or maybe a casino in Connecticut.

We're called Apache Stone because | have

native blood running through my veins.

And retard blood running through your brain.

All through the brain. MIKE: No, I’m serious.

I’m like 2 percent northeast Apache.

Like, my mom traced her bloodline on the Internet.

You’re Native American?

Yeah, but only like 2 percent, so what does that come out to?

What part of you? Well, maybe one ball.

You should rename the band and call it Cherokee Testicle.

[BOTH LAUGH] Pawnee Nut Boys.

MIKE: Yeah, you guys can laugh all you want,

but wait till you hear us play.

Yeah, you know, he’s right. We should probably

save this laughter till we hear him play.

| suggest we pack the place full of hot chicks.

Only thing that’s gonna keep it from clearing out

as soon as Comanche Ball Sack starts playing.

You know what, Frank? That’s not a bad idea, actually.

Maybe you could have your girlfriend

invite some of her friends.

You know, I’m sure she’s got some hot fillies

in her stable, right? And a couple of bulls too.

Carla’s not a dyke, Lou.

No, Frank, of course she’s not.

But you know, if she is, | mean, Frank says he’s getting

the best sex of his life with this chick, right?

And if she’s straight, then cool.

She invites some straight friends.

FRANCO: Carla’s not gay.

You guys got any doubts, you can ask my cock.

No, Frank, of course she isn’t, dude.

But you know, if she is,

then what, she invites a bunch of hot lesbos,

and we all get a shot at getting some of that hot sex

Frankie’s getting, right? It’s a win-win, man.

Some nasty lesbo ass. Ha-ha!

l’d appreciate it if you guys cut the crap.

| finally find a woman I’m happy about

and I'd like a little support from my brothers,

if you don’t mind. Franco, we’re all excited

about you and Carla, but come on, man.

You gotta admit, your boo is a little butch.

A little? Christ, if her testosterone ever blows,

we’re gonna have to get Red Adair in here to cap it.

Red Adair?

You know, John Wayne played him in a movie.

John Wayne? SHAWN: Yo! Shit!

Hey, hey.

Hey. They finally let you out, huh?

| was gonna stay a couple extra days in hospital,

but | figured | can’t afford it,

so, you know... | gotta sit down now.

Oh, yeah. So what’s up, man?

When are you coming back to work?

Uh, soon, | think.

Doctor said | gotta take two weeks’ rest at home,

then another couple weeks to get my strength back

at the gym and whatnot. But soon, so...

Do you think maybe you should go home and rest up, dude?

You don’t wanna overdo it. No, bro.

| mean, that’s just it. | mean, |, you know,

this whole experience has made me realize,

I’m gonna totally overdo it from now on.

I’m just gonna live my life bigger, you know?

Second chance, right? Yeah, yeah. | mean,

as tired as | am, and as much as this whole thing has beat me up,

| wish you guys could be me right now.

Because I’m telling you,

when they rolled me out of the hospital

in that wheelchair,

and | looked up at that beautiful blue sky,

| stared at it like it was

a giant naked picture of Jessica Alba.

Whoa.

Well, | wish we were, dude.

And | took this breath in, right?

And the air tasted so sweet and good and thick,

and | just...

| started crying, you know?

Weird. And | thought to myself,

"Oh, great, I’m gonna be that guy that cries now,

like when the wind blows."

That’s not why I’m crying. I’m crying because

I’ve been living my life so small.

You know? And I’m tired of that.

I’m gonna live it to the fullest,

It’s not about being something other than a firefighter.

| love what we do.

I’m just saying, you know, | wanna do more

and live better, and be that firefighter,

that guy, that friend, that everything, you know?

| mean, God forbid the cancer comes back,

or we all burn up in a fire.

| wanna be able to say to myself as the lights go out,

"You know what? | didn’t live a perfect life.

"But hey,

| lived that bitch to the fullest.”

Wow. Wow.

MIKE: Dude.

[CLEARS THROAT]

You okay?

Yeah, | just talked a lot.

That was really-- I’m tired. Here, man, have a smoke.

It’ll make you feel better. Oh, that’ll be great.

FRANCO: Yeah. Thanks, pal.

FRANCO: Oh, yeah, baby. Bam.

Mm, mm, mm.

[MIKE CHUCKLES]

It’s good to be alive.

ALL: Yeah!

[COUGHING]

MIKE: Easy, easy.

This is it. We're taking off. You gonna be okay?

Yeah, yeah, | think so. As long as | don’t get cancer again.

Yeah, well, you know,

not to bring you down or anything, but you know,

considering the type of cancer you had,

and the end notes of Ground Zero, the chances of you

having a reoccurrence are pretty strong.

So, yeah, anyway, listen,

| broke the dot selector on the toaster.

Uh-huh. TERRENCE: You know,

| Know money’s been a little tight,

so | left you 5 bucks to cover it.

Between you and l, it was gonna break anyway.

| figure it’s the least | can do for my kid brother.

So hey,

it’s good to see you.

Okay, bro.

What’s he doing, Ma?

It’s like a trap or something?

Calm down. He just wants a hug.

From me? Yeah.

From you. Come on, man. Jesus.

Go ahead. Jesus.

| think we’re getting out just in time, Ma.

Come on. Yeah, whatever. Fine.

Thanks for coming.

Hey! Whoa, what’s the matter?

What the hell are you doing? That was lovely.

You bumped me with your package.

You don’t package bump when you hug.

What the hell are you talking about?

You're supposed to pull your package back when you hug a man.

My package was pulled back. Try reading the manual

once in a while. The manual?

| was-- my hips were all out, man.

You didn’t pull your pelvis back

like you’re supposed to, you dick weed.

Just take your shit and go. You're unbelievable.

You're just a dick. Get out.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, jerk off.

See you, squirt. Okay, yeah,

with your fruity shopping bags.

"Oh, look at me, | got cancer. Help."

[BLOWS RASPBERRY]

| don’t care what he says.

It did my heart good seeing you boys be sweet like that.

Oh, yeah?

Do | need to pee one more time?

Nah, I’m good.

Take care, kid. All right, Ma.

Hey, Ma, there’s something | want to say to you.

Now that I’m feeling clearheaded,

| think I’m just gonna come right out and say it.

| Know that you love Terrence more than you love me, okay?

And you don’t have to say anything, because it’s clear.

And | don’t know why that is.

Maybe it’s because, you know, he’s a big baby,

even though he’s smart and all that stuff.

Maybe it’s because he stayed and | didn’t,

or he needs you more than | do. | don’t know.

Or maybe because you’re getting older and you realize

that as you get older,

you're gonna need him as much as he needs you.

It doesn’t matter. | just want you to know

that I’m aware of it, and I’m okay with it.

Sean... Yeah.

You're right.

Good, good. Really?

I’m sorry.

| love Terrence much more than | love you.

Yeah. Well, much more? | mean,

| was thinking it would be like a little bit more.

Jesus, it feels good to have it out in the open!

Now it’s my turn!

Great, okay. Yeah. Oy!

Hey, don’t listen to your brother.

You know how to hug just fine.

Thanks. And don’t look for that $5.

| took it for cigarettes for the drive.

Okay. Later, sweetheart.

All right, Ma.

Thanks for coming. I'll call you.

I’m gonna try this one on.

Cool. Oh, yeah.

Can | try the blue one too, Mom?

Yeah, honey. Honey, try them both.

Okay, we'll be waiting right here.

Did you hear that? Yeah.

Yes, she just called me Mom. | know.

Not Mommy. | am Mom again.

She’s coming back to us.

Yep. Oh.

Congratulations, Mom.

Ah, not now, big boy. We don’t have time. Oh, you know what?

Unless we sneak into one of the changing rooms

and | give her a bunch of dresses.

We could have a quickie.

But, like, a real "quickie" quickie.

’m-- I'm fine with that.

| just was actually just giving you a hug.

Really? Yeah.

Oh, oh. Because, you know, | just--

| thought that it was like a sexy hug.

No, it was just a hug. You know, like a "hug" hug.

Yeah, | don’t--

We don’t-- You know what?

Let’s just forget the "hug" hugs, okay?

Okay. Okay.

| just thought, you Know, since we’re kind of doing it again,

it might be nice to throw in a hug or a "hug" hug, you know,

every once in a while, and-- Hey, Tommy,

forget the goddamn hugs, okay?

We are being nice to each other

to gain back our daughter’s love and affection.

This-- We’re having sex

because it is mutually pleasurable, right?

Yeah. Great.

Ahem. | understand. | just thought, you know,

| mean, if we’re having sex,

we could also be affectionate to each other.

Oh, God, no, Tommy.

No, if you were affectionate with me,

| might actually start liking you.

And then we’re gonna go down that same old trap again.

Uh-uh. Okay.

You wanna explain that?

We’re having sex, but you-- You don’t like me?

Well, after everything we've been through,

do you even have to ask?

Yeah, | do. | mean--

You haven’t-- We’re having sex.

But you don’t like me? That’s what you--

Yes, which makes it better.

All right. That’s bullshit.

You have to like me.

Oh, okay, well, Tommy, of course, okay?

Of course | like you. | do.

You know, | just--

| don’t "like you" like you.

You know what it is? | love you,

| love you. Uh-huh.

In a deep and cavernous way.

You know, that is streamlined with ribbons of hate--

--and disdain.

Yeah? And you know, resentment.

Okay? But | am focusing right now on the sex.

Because the sex is great.

Yeah. Okay? So let’s just forget

all about the, like, the love and the hugs and the ribbons

and the hate, and let’s focus

on the hot, steamy, sneaky sex. Okay?

Yeah. Okay.

So do you want to go in there and scope out the changing rooms

while | get about 15 dresses for her to try on, or not?

Well, of course. Okay, okay.

Hey. This is the one, Mom.

This is the one | want. This is it.

That’s-- That’s great.

Yeah. Yeah.

That’s-- Okay.

Come on, let’s go pay for it. All right.

Okay. It’s so cute. Look at it.

Hm.

Holy shit.

[ALL CHATTERING]

SHAWN: Hey, hello, Tommy! Tommy!

FRANCO: Hey, man.

How you guys doing?

What’s going on? Hey, nothing.

Last time | checked, this was a party, right?

That’s right, yeah.

Why don’t you guys just slow it down a little bit, huh?

Oh, ain’t no slowing down. Nah, none of that.

We’re living life the Sean Garrity way.

You don’t do it small, you do that shit

B-I-G. Big, son!

No regrets, man.

A sky full of Jessica Alba.

Yeah. A sky full of Jessica Alba’s ass.

Skate, skate, bang, bang.

BOTH: Bitches!

Yeah, well, she does have a nice, little... Yeah.

Somethin’. Good luck with that.

It’s round.

Did you work with Bonesy?

No.

Friend of the family?

You could say.

| say forget the family.

| wouldn’t mind being a friend of Kim’s.

| mean, | know she’s remarried. But | mean,

who wouldn’t mind tapping that ass?

And those new boobs? | mean, talk about

widow money being well spent. Jesus Christ.

You know, instead of hanging that stupid plaque on the wall

in some shitty banquet hall,

| think that they should hang it

right underneath that rack of hers,

so whoever the lucky bastard is

who’s drilling her

knows whose blood, sweat, and tears, and life

he owes for that magnificent new set of tetons.

You’re the new husband, aren't you?

Nice talking to you.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, can | get a Bushmills?

Two fingers, please. You got it.

How you doing?

Great, I’m making a complete dick hole of myself.

Good.

Bonesy’s wife is really showing off the new tits, huh?

Yeah, well, you know,

don’t let her new husband hear you say that.

You said something about the new tits to--

| didn’t, not really.

Well, | didn’t mention the word "tits" or "titties."

You said "tetons," didn’t you?

How do you know these things?

Yeah, | just-- Where’s the plaque at?

It’s over here.

They did a pretty good job on--

Nice picture. Oh, that’s nice.

Wow. Yeah.

This is awesome. The flowers are fake, though.

You're kidding me. No.

What, she has no money left after she got the new nipples?

Who could blame her? MAN: Hey, guys.

Guys, can we ask you to step away from this area?

We’re shooting some footage and we wanna see

that sign in the background. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. Sorry.

Thanks. Are you--

Are you shooting something for the family?

Ah, sort of. It’s a news thing.

Oh, what are you, a reporter?

Heh. No. Hi, I’m Dick Gerard,

state representative for this district.

Nice to meet to you. Nice to meet you. How are you?

Oh, he’s a politician. Yeah.

You know, what memorial service would be complete without one?

Yeah. You knew Johnny Bones?

Uh, | don’t know who you mean.

Johnny Bohannan. His name’s on the plaque.

Well, sadly, I-- | never met the man.

Well, you know what? Wherever he is,

I’m sure he’s real torn up about that.

Do you know what firehouse he served out of,

or how many kids he had,

or any personal or pertinent information

about the guy? No?

Maybe we should find another spot.

Yeah, maybe you should, because ll tell you something.

We’re firemen, okay?

We’ve been through this drill before with politicians.

And we understand what’s going on.

You’re firemen? Yeah. Yes.

Oh, great. Well, why don’t we get the camera started here

and we can get the three of us having a serious discussion

about the issues that you guys are facing?

Oh, good. Yeah, well,

I’m glad you turned the camera on, because you know what?

In about a minute, I’m gonna stick that camera

right up your ass, okay? So you can kind of perform

your own little colonoscopy, you know what | mean?

Guys like you-- | love you. You running for office again?

Gotta get reelected? Need some votes?

Is that what this whole camera--

You guys are always doing this.

You know, 9/11, after-- They always came down

and said hello to us and everything else.

We thought you were our best friends.

We thought maybe we'd get a pay raise.

But we got nothing, okay? You guys are all the same.

Why don’t you turn the goddamn camera off, okay?

Wait, no, no. Keep it rolling. Seriously, turn the camera off.

What? Look, you’re a fireman, right?

Yeah. What was your name again?

Tommy Gavin, 62 Truck. [LOU MUTTERING]

No, it’s okay, Lou. It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.

LOU: Tommy-- Tommy--

Look, fellas,

| Know you’re angry. Yeah?

| Know you’re not angry at me, you're angry at the system--

Yeah, you know what? You're absolutely right.

| am angry at the system, but unfortunately for you,

the system doesn’t happen to be here.

Will you hold my drink, please? And--

What are you doing? Get off of me! Hey!

[ALL SHOUTING]

[GLASS SHATTERS] Tommy!

[ALL GRUNTING]

Wait a minute, Tommy!

[ALL GRUNTING AND SHOUTING]

Son of a bitch!

[FRANCO LAUGHING]

FRANCO: It tickles!

Baby, you think you're gonna be able to get

some of your girlfriends to come to this thing?

As it stands, all we have to offer is,

like, no food, cheap booze,

and possibly some really shitty music.

CARLA: It’s for a good cause? FRANCO: Yeah.

Yeah, we’re just trying to help a brother out

with some hospital bills. Ooh!

Which I’m gonna need some help with

if you don’t stop twisting those bad boys!

Oh! Ah, come on! Oh. You better be nice to me,

or my girlfriends won’t come to your party.

No, seriously, baby, invite anybody you can. You know,

especially if they're good-looking.

Super hot will be preferable, but you know, hey,

straight, gay, it doesn’t matter as long as they’re hot.

What did you say?

Nothing.

You said "straight or gay."

Why did you say that? No reason.

Why did you say-- Oh, oh! Oh, not the boys again.

Ah. Okay, baby. It was the guys, all right?

You know, they met you, and, you know,

they said they were picking up a slight vibe-- Oh!

What vibe? Uh--

Aah! Aah! Ah.

Oh, God, | can’t tell if that hurts

or if it feels really good.

Oh! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

Okay, it was just a very slight, very subtle,

uh, you know, barely recognizable lesbian thing.

Uh, from me? Yeah.

Oh, well, that’s not a big deal.

It’s not the first time I’ve been called butch.

Oh. Oh.

Yeah. You know, plus, these guys,

they’ve never been between the sheets with you, so--

[GRUNTS] They don’t even understand it.

You being lesbian, that’s like not even remotely possible.

It’s not possible, is it?

You know, if you want to be worried

about someone’s sexual identity, I'd worry about yourself.

Uh, excuse me? What?

Well, you know, a big, strong man

who likes to get manhandled in bed by a woman?

Okay, first of all, you're not manhandling me.

What? No, not at all.

[FRANCO GRUNTS]

No, no! No, no, no. No, no, no, [YELLS]

[FRANCO GRUNTS]

[SIREN WAILING]

[HORN HONKS]

[GROANS]

It’s okay, calm down. Get yourself unhooked.

There you go. Helmet. Okay.

Gloves. Okay. Jesus Christ.

Door.

Get a load of crispy clean over here, huh?

You look handsome today, Damian. You had to say "crispy clean,"

Now I’m gonna be thinking about doughnuts all day.

Ah. NEEDLES: Gentlemen,

second truck is gonna be late, so let’s stay alert.

We got fires on five and six going up to the roof.

Shawn, Mike, you guys take the top floor.

Tommy, Franco, give me a search on five.

Kid, you stay with Lou on four.

Be advised, 99’s got a dead hydrant.

It’s time to make the doughnuts, boys.

Yeah, there we go again. It’s got to be doughnuts, doesn't it?

Like that’s what’s making you think it. Come on.

TOMMY: Hey, Lou,

I’m gonna take, uh, Damian

up to the third floor with me, all right?

Yeah. I'll take Frankie. Hey, the chief just told us--

| Know what the chief said. Move your ass, let’s go.

Come on, hurry up. Damian, stay close.

Yeah, stand by, chief. What do we got, boys?

Negative. Fire on five, Lou’s search was negative.

It smells like a gas leak. Cock loft is fully involved.

We’re losing that top floor, man.

All right, we’d better dump in a second alarm, chief.

Game over, Lou. Back it out.

And we got shit pressure in these lines.

[OVER RADIO] You and those mooks, get out of there!

Copy that. All right, boys, let’s go.

Hey, wait, guys. | think | heard something down the hall.

LOU: We checked it. It’s clear.

No, | heard it too.

Somebody might be down there. You swept it, right?

Yeah, it’s all clear. We checked it.

[EXPLOSION]

Christ! Goddamn it!

FRANCO: What do you think, Tom?

[FAINT SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]

NEEDLES: Lou, get everybody out now!

The chief says pull out. We gotta pull out. Let’s go.

All right, boys, let’s pull out. Let’s go.

TOMMY: Come on, Damian, speed it up.

SHAWN: Ooh.

Hey, what--? Hey, hey!

Goddamn it! Shit.

All right, listen. You take him out. I'll go get Dami.

All right, go. And hurry up, will you?

| got a meatloaf in the oven. Yeah, goddamn it!

It would be a meatloaf, right?

Hey, assholes! Hey!

[DISPATCH RADIO CHATTERING]

NEEDLES: Where the hell is everyone?

We had another hallway to check. You told me we were all clear.

LOU: | thought we were. | had to call an audible.

Who are you, Tom Brady? This thing’s about to go.

I’m pulling the lines out.

Tommy, copy! Tommy?

Got nothing. Gavin!

Gavin, do you hear me? Goddamn it, Tommy, answer me!

Get him down!

Way to keep the team together, Brady.

You tell the boys coach wants everyone in the kitchen

as soon as we land for a good, old-fashioned ass reaming. Go!

[SIREN WAILING]

[SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

NEEDLES: I’m at a loss here, fellas.

| have tried every method | can think of

to get the message across.

I’ve tried to be a pal, play nice,

and you take advantage of me.

It was a miscommunication, chief.

We thought we left a straggler or two behind.

We got lost on the way back, that’s it.

| happened to remember the floor plan

because | was at a fire there 15--

NEEDLES: Shut up. Shut up! You--

When | give the order to pull out,

that is what | expect you to do.

I’m in the middle of the street with my thumb up my ass,

and | don’t know where anybody is.

|-- What? Shut your mouth, Gavin!

Do you have any idea the message

you are sending to this new probie?

What the hell kind of example are you setting out there?

[SCOFFS]

You don’t get it.

You goddamn morons, do you know what chemistry is, hm?

Chemistry is what makes this crew

the best goddamn crew I’ve ever worked with.

Now, you mess with that the way you did today,

and | guarantee you,

mark my words, people are gonna die.

I’m not blaming you.

I’m blaming you.

You stopped being Tommy Gavin today

and you started playing mother hen to that kid.

| promised his mother that | would keep an eye on him.

That’s what | was doing.

You were keeping an eye on him the same way you keep an eye

on every other goddamn member of this crew. No different.

You got any special responsibility to that kid,

it’s to turn him into every inch the firefighter his old man was.

Because I'll tell all of you,

we get another Jimmy Keefe on this crew,

and nothing’s ever going to touch it.

And I’m not going to let you assholes screw that up.

All right.

From now on, Damian is with Lou.

And that solves your problem.

Now, you hear me?

Yeah.

[SHOUTING] Do you hear me?!

ALL: Yes, chief.

Let’s hope so, assholes.

Wash up.

[SIGHS]

Wow. That shit was brutal.

Yeah, no shit. And probie’s probably still in the kitchen

trying to wash the blood off the walls.

What were we doing listening to Garrity in the first place,

you know? He’s the biggest retard on the crew.

You know what? Strike that, second biggest.

Hey, you know what? | think the chief is right on this one.

On this job and this crew, there’s only one Tommy Gavin.

And | doubt that any of us would wanna be him right now.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Sorry? | said | doubt any of us

would want to be him right now.

And by him, | mean you.

You're not even gonna try-- Nope.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Yep. Yeah?

SHEILA: Hi. Damian told me what happened today,

and | need you to come over right now.

Why? Come over now.

I'll be waiting for you.

Okay.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

[THE LOVE ME NOTS’ "BREAK MY HEART" PLAYING ON RADIO]

? Baby, pick me up In a big gold car f

"Damian is out with his friends. Drink this.

Come into the kitchen."

Lou?

[CLEARS THROAT]

[SIGHS]

"Drink this. Look towards the living room."

Whoo! [GASPS]

Jesus Christ. [LAUGHS]

Oh!

[CHANTING] Tommy is his name.

Firefightin’ is his game.

He’s got Sheila on his mind.

And whoo! He’s feelin’ fine!

Go, Tommy!

Jesus.

[LAUGHS]

You scared the shit out of me. Whoo!

Well, you know, | wanted to thank you

for, uh, sticking by your word.

You didn’t have to thank me, | was just doing my job.

Oh, no. I’m gonna thank you.

I’m gonna thank the shit out of you.

All right.

[Pre]

Jesus Christ. Oh.

[Pre]

There you go. Thank you.

[SIGHS]

Mm. Oh, boy.

Mm.

[SIGHS]

[GIGGLES]

You know,

this being his first day,

| tell you, it’s kind of weird.

It’s like for the first time in months--

Yeah?

| can actually breathe, you know?

And it’s all because of you.

Hm. Yeah? [CHUCKLES]

I’m the greatest. Yes, you are.

Mm-hm. [GIGGLES]

Hm, it’s like Knowing that whenever he goes into a fire,

you're gonna be right by his side.

It just makes everything better.

That’s how it’s gonna be, right?

Uh-huh.

Good. Now-- Yeah?

Get out of here.

Okay. I-- I’m gonna just--

Phew. How about if | make a sandwich and--

Yes, make a sandwich and have a drink,

and just make sure that you lock up before you go.

Okay.

Night. Bye.

| really like bunnies.

[SIGHS]

Oh, boy.

Hm.

Nice going, lover boy. Hey.

So you enjoy yourself?

What do-- What do you mean?

Christmas come a little early this year, Tom?

| mean, what--

You got-- You got a little something in your hair there.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh. Yeah.

Relax.

It’s all good. | mean, | got no choice, right?

That’s the way it’s gonna be.

I’ve gotta face the facts.

I’m dead.

| ain’t never coming back.

But she looks good, though. No, she--

The first time in forever she’s happy.

Yeah. Satisfied.

Sleeping through the night.

Damian’s as safe as any guy could be on the job, right?

And by the way,

the chief is right.

Damian should definitely be paired up with Lou.

Yeah.

You can’t focus on him all the time.

You got enough asses to cover at that house.

Yeah. Any firefighter

with a brain under his helmet should know that.

I’m glad you said that.

That’s pretty close to what-- What I-- You know,

| was-- | would have said.

So you’re cool?

It’s all good. All--

It’s all good.

Good.

All right, see you later.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Where are you going?

Probably down-- Down the bar, have a--

You know-- No, you--

You gotta go down there and tell her, right?

No. No, no, no, she’s asleep.

But you gotta go down and tell her.

| told her | was gonna make a sandwich and then,

you know, | was-- And then lock up.

You know, we have a deal.

| don’t stay over. Tom, Tom, Tom.

She’s a woman. What she says

and what she really wants never really matches up, right?

Yeah. So what you gotta do is,

you gotta go down there,

tell her about Damian being with Lou now.

Yeah.

I’m not gonna do that, bro. See you later.

You're not leaving, Tom.

You're not leaving till you go down there,

lay down next to her, spoon with her,

and tell her the truth. Wait, wait, whoa, whoa.

Did you say spoon?

| said spoon. | don’t spoon.

| Know. | said spoon, you’re gonna spoon.

| do not spoon. You will spoon.

You're gonna spoon with her

like you work ata Baskin Robbins.

Do you understand me? I’m not doing it.

Get out there. Get down there!

Get your ass in there, lover boy.

I’m going. Go.

Okay.

[WHISPERS] I'll be right out here if you need me.

[WHISPERING] Great.

I’m not spooning.
