Ah!

Damn, it's just Riley.

"Damn, it's just Riley."

I have a name
for my autobiography.

This dude has been waiting
on your brother,

watching the door
like a dog.

I had to rub his belly
to calm him down.

I can't believe Dad's
picking Sam up at the airport.

He didn't even pick me up when
I got my wisdom teeth pulled.

It was fine. I've driven
on way more codeine.

Sam joined the Navy.

You got fired
for stealing socks
from Old Navy.

Alright, attention on deck!

We got an officer
coming in there.

Sam Parker, Commander
of Naval Intelligence.

Get over here.

-Aw.
-Okay! Oh, yeah.

I missed you so much.

Oh, we're gonna have
so much fun.

We gotta go to the Grove.
They have a trolley now.

-Gabe, sit. Sit, sit. Calm down.
-Okay.

-Okay, my turn. Oh!
-Aw.

Oh, this feels good.

And weird without you
putting me in a headlock

-and giving me a noogie.
-Well, if you insist.

-No!
-Oh!

Look at my man Sam.

You lookin' good, baby.

-Not as good as you.
-I know that's right.

This is just great, you know?

He's on the road
to becoming an admiral

and just flew in from--
Where was it?

-I'm not at liberty to say.
-Ha!

I love it when he says that.

Yeah, but when I say it,
I'm "withholding evidence."

Georgia, your mom tells me how
great you're doing in school.

And, Carter...

you're really funny
on Instagram.

Thanks. Missed you, Unc.

You know, last time
you saw me, I was a boy.

But now, I'm a man.

And, yes, that is Obsession
by Calvin Klein you're smelling.

It's better than his old scent,
Cool Ranch by Dorito.

You know what? We should have
a welcome home party.

Oh! You've never thrown me
a party, Dad.

Sure, I did. Junior year.
That big surprise party.

That was an intervention.

But the muffins were great.

Fine, but not a lame party.

-We should do a karaoke night!
-Ooh!

No, no, no, no,
I don't like karaoke.

I don't listen to Bob Seger
songs thinking,

"Maybe some drunk accountant
should sing this."

-Uncle Sam.
-Hm?

-You're a spy, right?
-I am not at liberty to--

Yeah, yeah,
save it for the sheeple.

My Legend of Zelda game
is missing,

and I know Carter took it.

Can you give me some
spy stuff to catch him?

One of the first things
they teach us...

...is that when people lie,

they have a tic or a tell
that gives them away.

-Like what?
-Um, fidgeting,

avoiding eye contact.

An unusual rise
in vocal tone.

Grandpa, you love Mom and Sam
the same, right?

Yeah, of course I do.

I can't believe how grown up
the kids are.

Well, you've been gone
a long time.

You know, you spent all
that time in North Korea...

-Dad.
-My mistake, South Korea.

You know I can't tell you.

And I also know
how hard it is

for you to not know
where I've been.

Well,
it's a good thing for you

'cause you're
on that admiral track.

Something you've always wanted
since you were a kid.

Yeah, well, I also wanted
to be a dinosaur, so...

I'm glad to be home.

Yeah. Me too.
Really missed you, kid.

So, my loss is
the Philippines' gain?

Nope.

You know, Cyprus is
on the water.

It is Cyprus.

Could be.

Cleveland?

Hey, guys.

-Oh, hey, you made it.
-Yeah, of course.

You know Gabe and Stitch.
This is my brother.

-Sam, this is
my boyfriend, Andy.
-Hey.

He's, uh...
Well, look at him.

Oh, it's nice to put a name
to the face of the guy

that Gabe says
he can do more pull-ups than.

- Hmm.
- Twelve.

It's not important.
But it's 12.

Andy is a lawyer.
And he's never been arrested.

I did a background check.

But, unless you kill puppies,
we're good.

And even then.

-Hi, I'm Amelie.
-Hi. Nice to meet you, Amelie.

-Stop that. Bring it in.
-Okay.

Um, I'm a dancer,
but I minored in physics.

The point is, I'm not defined
by being Gabe's girlfriend.

I mean, what does "girlfriend"
even mean?

It means that
we live together

in a monogamous
sexual relationship.

Shh! Stop.

You know what?
You guys mind
if I sing you a song?

Oh. Oh!

You brought a guitar. Huh.
To karaoke.

You know, the, uh,
the music's provided, right?

Music is provided,
but it is BYOA.

That A is for awesomeness.

Stitch,
I'll Make Love to You.

Uh. The-- The song.
Uh, Boyz II Men.

I really feel like
the right thing to do

is to protect him from himself.

And play.

This is the most painful thing
I've ever experienced.

And I fist-fought a dude
from the Taliban.

What are you talking about?

This couldn’t be going
any better.

Guitar solo!

And it just got better!

Do you guys remember
when he was hot?

I missed you, babe.

Well, you know
the old saying,

you never really know a man
until he karaokes.

You don't have
to be enjoying this so much.

Where did Sam go?

Well, he certainly didn't
tell me a secret

and go to the bar.

-What?
-Sam's not gonna re-enlist.

What?! That's insane.

Not as insane as bringing
your own guitar to karaoke,

but close.

Alright, Stitch,
let's cue up a little ditty

called American Pie.

I gotta see this.
He brought headgear!

You're quitting the Navy?!

I guess pinky promises
mean nothing to Gabe.

I've dedicated 20 years
of my life to the military,

and I'm ready
for the next thing.

Oh, my God, Dad is gonna freak!
When are you gonna tell him?

And can I be there?
And possibly film it

and send it out
as my Christmas card?

I'm waiting
for the right moment.

Smart.
'Cause he is gonna
be disappointed.

But just know, deep down,

he's also gonna
be really furious.

You're not helping.

-And are you smiling?
-What?

-No. Cheek cramp.
-Yeah.

But for real, I love you,
and I will support you

every step of the way.

Not because I wanna see
the golden boy crash and burn.

Like I said, for support.

- Good news.
- Mm.

I just threw down
my credit card.

We got three more hours.
If I'm payin', I'm playin'!

Carter's coming.

I need to find out
if he stole my video game.

-What do I do?
-Okay.

You're just trying
to gather intelligence.

Intelligence from Carter?
Good luck.

Okay, establish
a baseline of behavior

for when he's telling the truth.

And then look for deviations
when the target is lying.

Hey, Carter.

-What time is it?
-Let me check.

Time for you to get a watch.

Walked right into that one.

Carter, out!

See?

I can't play mind games
when he doesn't have the parts.

Don't you moonwalk
away from me!

Ugh! Stop shouting.

I drank so much last night.

I browned out between
Andy doing Purple Rain

and Andy doing
acoustic Purple Rain.

Yeah, that was the song
that was formerly known as good.

Well, good morning, kids.
Whoa.

Wow, you look terrible.

And you smell worse.

Do we have to have another
little "surprise party"?

Don't say party.

Hey, you remember that
admiral friend of mine?

Thinking maybe
you guys could connect.

Maybe guide you
through the process
of becoming an admiral.

And, you know, suggest a good
place to eat there in Yemen.

Thanks. Yeah, I'll, uh,
I'll think about that.

Great.

Just throw up already.

Why didn't you say anything?

I told you, I'm waiting
for the right moment.

Oh, no. The world’s bwavest man

is afwaid of Daddy!

You know, for a fun drunk,
you're a mean hangover.

I'm just trying to be sensitive.
Dad just lost Mom.

I don't want him
losing his only good kid.

Hey! Well, fair.

But I appreciate your help
and your support.

And I appreciate your help

directing me
to the nearest trash can.

Oh, yeah. Here you...

-Thank you.
-...go.

Aw, this reminds me
of your Junior Prom.

And your Senior Prom.

Oh! And your wedding.

I'm so proud of you, man.

And you're protecting us
from communists,

whether it's
in strange countries,

or Brooklyn.

And, uh, my coffee protects
doctors from falling asleep

in heart surgery.

You're welcome, America.

Hey, Unc, you got
any cool battle scars?

Oh, yeah. Shrapnel.

And I stitched it up myself
with dental floss.

Always be prepared.

See, this is why I don't
waste it on my teeth.

How do you
have a girlfriend?

-Hold on. Excuse me.
-Mm. Yeah.

How much fun
was the other night?

We saw a whole other side
of you, Andy.

And I liked it.

A lot.

I know, man.
When I do karaoke,
I just lose myself.

Ugh! I should’ve done
Lose Yourself.

-You rap, too?
-Pfft.

Man, save some talent
for the rest of us.

Did, uh, did everyone get
some champagne?

My dad wants you to know it's
American, not French.

"It's half the price.

And the grapes aren't
crushed by cowards."

You know, I'm good, Mom.

I found it a bit dry. Right?

I've said too much.

None for me, thanks.

Just protecting
the ole instrument.

Hey, Sam, I just talked
to Admiral Masson.

Oh.

You never called him.

Time to come clean.

Uh, look, Dad, I was waiting
for the right moment

to tell you,

which I now realize was
the car ride coming home

back from the airport.

Tell me what?

I've decided to retire
from the Navy.

You tell him!

-To become an actor.
-To do what?

Dang it!

I always clap
at the wrong time.

- Can we talk for a minute?
- Yeah.

Excuse us.

-I need you to come with me.
-Oh.

Listen, why do I have to hear
this from the admiral?

Okay, Dad. Sorry,
I didn't want to disappoint you.

But honestly,
I didn't know how to tell you.

But you're made for this.

You got your analytic skills
from your mom,

and look how far
it's taken you.

Yeah, well, now I wanna
follow my artistic side.

Look, lots of former
military guys have gone on

to become successful actors.

Jimmy Stewart, Adam Driver...

Bea Arthur.

One of the Golden Girls!

Dad, I know this is
a lot to take in,

but I'm serious
about this.

I'm, uh, gonna sign up
for improv classes.

Ooh! Phew.

Now, you're just
trying to hurt me.

You're on a path to become
an admiral in the Navy.

This is something
you've wanted since
you were a little boy.

Yeah, well, acting
is not that different

from what I do
in Naval Intelligence.

I pretend to be people
that I'm not all the time,

and I'm good at it.

I've done accents that would
get me canceled stateside.

What I see is you
throwing away
a great career for nothing.

Sam just wants
to follow his dream.

And we should support that.

Even if his dream is stupid.

You're gonna do great.

I can handle this
on my own.

Oh, see?
That was good acting.
I almost believed him.

You want to see
some good acting?

Hey,

I think this is a great idea.

That was actually
pretty good.

Here, I gotta hurry.

A Girl Scout's selling cookies
right next to me.

If she's there when I get back,

she better be ready
to earn her bitch-slap badge.

Does she have a limit
on how many boxes

of Do-si-dos you could buy?

It's not important.
Totally unrelated,

I'll be right back.

-So, how's your brother doing.
-Eh...

I'm used to my dad being upset.
I've built up immunities.

But Sam's like an unvaccinated
casino waitress in April 2020.

Oh, wait, that was me.

I never didn't have COVID.

I tested positive every day
for eight months.

Let me guess.
We're still talking about Sam?

Ugh. I know you're upset.

Yeah, I'm upset.

He's always wanted
to be an admiral.

Now he's gonna just
throw that all away?

Well, maybe he'll
play one on TV.

On one of the channels
you watch, like two,

or four, or seven.

Yeah. You know what?

Maybe he could play
Cap'n Crunch's boss.

Wait, Cap'n Crunch
isn't an admiral?

"Captain's" right in his name.

Chocula's still a count, right?

You know what, Dad?
Why don't you just cut Sam off

like you did me for 15 years.

Or, crazy thought,

maybe for once in your life,
be the mature one.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go choke out
a Girl Scout.

Stitch, you were
in the service.

Be honest with me.

Do you think what Sam's doing
is crazy?

Hey, come on, man, look,

the man knows what he wants
to do with his life

after the military.

Not everybody has that.
I didn't.

You had a great second act.
You came to work here.

Sam spent 20 years fighting
for other people's freedom.

He deserves
the same freedom

to do whatever the hell
he wants.

To be an actor?

I don't think I can get used to
Riley being the successful one.

You'd be surprised, man.

Your kids can make you proud
in all sorts of ways.

Ding-dong!
The witch is dead.

Andy, sorry,
we have a strict
"no music" policy.

The jerk next door
always complains.

Your dad?

I said what I said.

You know what?
That's actually why I came.

Oh, God.

Riley,

this one's for you.

What the hell?

I realized the other night

that I took it a little too far
at karaoke.

And I just wanted
to make things right.

It's not your fault.
You have pretty privilege.

People let hot people
do whatever they want.

It's why Idris Elba
gets to be a DJ.

Well, after seeing
many, many...

God, many videos
of myself online,

I realized that
I have been, uh...

What is the legal term?
It is a... douche canoe.

You know what?

I like that you're not good
at something.

Thank you?

No. People like you
and my brother

can be a little
intimidating.

So, I kinda like
that you're not perfect.

Oh.

Well, I kinda like
that you're not perfect, too.

What? Okay, hold on.

No, I mean, seriously,
I ran a background check
on you.

-Oh, God. Mm.
-No. It's fine.

You do have
an active warrant in Utah.

Yeah, well, not to brag,
but I might have one here, too,

if that Girl Scout
presses charges.

-You mind if I...?
-Go ahead.

No! Look what they've done
to my boy!

Only one pepperoni left.
You want it, Georgia?

No, Carter should have it.

He's my brother,
he deserves something nice.

Wait, you're being
nice to him?

Okay, missy,
I don't like this one bit.

She's trying to trick me.
You have been all week.

-No I haven't.
-Just admit it,

you want to know what happened
to your video game.

-I think I'm entitled to it.
-You want answers?

-I want the truth!
-You can't handle the truth!

Zelda’s a free spirit.

She belongs to no man,
woman, or forest nymph.

-So, you did take it!
-You're damn right I did!

'Cause you don't appreciate
the nonlinear storytelling.

Or-- Or the catchy music.

You need me
to play that game!

Cracked him like an egg.

That's it.
She's the captain now.

Hey, Sam, can we talk
for a minute?

Talk or yell?

I'll just clean up.

Look, Dad, I'm sorry
I wasn't upfront with you,

but I've made my decision.

This is what I'm gonna do.

That's exactly
what I said to my dad.

Do you remember when
your grandpa talked to me

about taking over
the machine shop?

Yeah. You wanted to be
an industrial designer.

Right. We fought about it,

fought, fought, fought,
he's a very stubborn man.

Hmm. Sounds like
someone I know.

-Could we...?
-Continue.

Listen, my dad passed
before we had a chance

to patch up our differences
like that.

It always stuck with me,

and I couldn't stop
thinking about this.

You know, and I don't want that
to be between the two of us.

Ah. Told you you should
get that mole checked.

I'll stop.

I just want you to be happy.
Period.

And if that means expressing
your artistic side, like me,

and that art happens
to be acting,

then, so be it, son.

- Thanks, Dad.
- Yeah.

So, you don't think me wanting
to be an actor is stupid?

No. Huh-uh.

I think it's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.

But who knows?
You might get cast

as the guy that's really
in the Deadpool costume.

While Ryan Reynolds is getting
his feet done in his trailer.

But I'm proud of you.

I have been,
and I always will be, son.

You too, Riley.

You really turned
your life around.

We're having
a little moment here

and you had
to add yourself to it.

-Sorry.
-Golden boy is back.

Contact. Right.

Talk to me, Goose.

Talk to me.

And scene.

Wow. That was... Wow!

It was great.

Wait. Why was he so upset
about a goose?

Hey, Dad.

What did you think?

I am not at liberty to say.

That was...
That was beautiful, man.

Hey, thanks, buddy.

-You... Wow!
-Thanks.
