We all had terrible childhoods, okay?

I had one, my father had one, you had one,

and your kid's gonna have one.

No, he's not 'cause this fucked-up Loudermilk legacy ends right here.

Is everything okay, Loudermilk?

My dad died.

So I need you to go

to this Sober Friends meeting and pretend to be me.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Do you mind if I sit in?

Hey, look, it's a new New Guy.

One time, I sold the family schnauzer to some neighbors for extra dope money.

There's not a bad song on there,

even though, eight years ago, for some reason,

I crapped all over it.

I don't think she's ever put out another album.

BEN: How do you know where she lives?

LOUDERMILK: 'Cause I followed her home from work.

You're not Lizzy Poole.

Hold up. You gotta take the baby out of the stroller.

What? Why?

For his safety.

Well, wouldn't he be less safe

I don't make the rules.

[SCOFFS] Come on!

It's like wrestling an angry wet ham

Can I please just leave the baby in here?

You want to ride on the bus, you gotta take him out.

All right, buddy, come here.

Let's get you out of there.

There we go.

And up we go.

Oh, heads up.

Whoa, that was epic.

I can't wait to check the footy.

Yeah, yeah, epic footy.

Sorry, did I scare your grandson?

My grandson? What the... No.

This is my... It's my roommate's brother.

How old is your roommate?

Well, that's a really good question. I should know this.

He's... Okay, the reason... Okay,

Fuck, I was already late for his doctor's appointment.

Dude, chill. I'll take care of it.

Aren't you a little old to be

I'm cutting carbon emissions, bro.

One block at a time, I'm saving the city.

Uh, no, Batman is saving the city.

So, Sam, did your buddy have a great morning?

Yeah, he did. He ate a big bowl of cereal and napped,

took an enormous dump that he was very, very proud of.

Wow. Good job, Clyde.

No, I'm talking about Ben.

I'm doing a cleanse.

Have you ever done a cleanse?

I have done a cleanse. It's amazing.

Isn't it? I mean, you would not believe

Okay, okay. Now that we have a consensus on how amazing cleanses are,

Oh, I have to work a double today, so I got to get Clyde home.

Now that you mention it, maybe it's Mrs. Grenger.

I've always suspected that she was skimming the poor box

to support her bingo habit.

Really?No.

Of course not, you idiot. I would never let that happen.

"Thou shalt not steal." You remember that one?

It's number eight on my big top ten.

And number six is, "Thou shalt not point fingers."

It's the Russians, man. Trust me.

They're into everything. That's why I always put tape

on my laptop camera when I'm watching porn.

That's why I never bother.

If them commies wanna watch me punching my Putin,

hey, have at her, comrade.

I'll show you missile crisis.

All right, we get it, Ed. You like Russian porn.

It's the Chinese. They're the ones making

all this high-tech shit, you know?

Yeah, so they can spy on us.

Because of our phones, they got files on everyone.

That's right. And then when they're done spying, you take the phone,

you put it in your pocket, and everybody gets ball cancer.

Ah!

I guess I dodged that bullet.

Ball cancer aside, it's not a foreigner

who's ripping me off, okay? It's somebody local.

Look, I got four charges every Tuesday this month

all at a restaurant right here in town, the Waldorf.

Hey, hey, I'm not an espionage expert,

!but aren't we forgetting about what today is?

It's Tuesday!

So?

Let's go down to the Waldorf.

Yeah. You know, I'm sure

that my cleanse would allow for a cheat meal,

and it would be nice to get out.

No, we're not going down there to eat.

We're gonna go see if the dirtbag is there.

Yeah, catch him in the act and really kick his ass.

Oh, yeah, an ambush.

Yeah, and while we're waiting for him,

we can get some appetizers,

maybe nachos or chicken strips or...

No, no, no, no. Focus, focus.

[CHUCKLING] I'm sorry, guys.

I am so fucking hungry.

All right, thanks. I think this is a very bad idea.

Come on, don't be chickenshit. Don't you want to catch this guy?

What are the odds? He'd be stupid to go

to the same place five weeks in a row.

Well, that's only 25% more stupid

than going four weeks in a row.

20%.

No, no, no. Four is 20% less than five,

but five is 25% more than four. You know that, right?

Huh?Don't worry about it.

Are you picking up and order for Grubhub?

No.Okay.

Are you looking for someone?

Kinda, yeah. It's a little hard to...

I'm not sure if they're here yet.

I see. Well, perhaps you'd like to peruse our menu.

I can take your name, and if you decide to join us,

I will have a lovely table ready for you.

Yeah, okay. Great. It's Loudermilk.

Oh, already have you in here.

You do?Loudermilk already seated

Good evening.

Have you, uh, enjoyed a nice dinner here tonight?

Oh, um, why, yes, yes.

Wasn't bad.

So you like the place, huh?

Well, it's beautiful, isn't it?

It's so fancy.Very fancy.

I imagine that's why you like to come here

every Tuesday night, am I right?

Um, no.

Actually, this is... This is my first time here.

Oh, really?

You sure you want to stick with that story?

Because the paper trail would imply otherwise.

I... I... I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I think you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about the credit card

that you're gonna use to pay for this dinner tonight.

Well, first of all, that is none of your business.

And second, I'm pretty sure

I'm not paying for dinner tonight.

If he's any kind of gentleman at all, my date will be.

Your date?Yeah. He's in the bathroom.

No, I don't need to go outside.

There's a thief at this table.

Sir, please don't make me call the police.

You should absolutely call the police

Hey, what are you doing? Get your hands off me.Sir, that's enough.

MAN: Louie, it's okay. Let him go.

What the fuck, Dad? You're alive?

Yeah. [LAUGHS]

Boy, the look on your face.

You should probably check your shorts for mud.

You're dead! I gave your fucking eulogy!

Oh, come on. Don't act so startled.

You know your old man is always full of surprises.

This is not a good surprise, Dad.

Oh, me being alive is not a good surprise.

What the hell kind of thing is that to say to your old man?

I'm leaving.Oh, come on.

Let's go back inside and sit down.

You want a drink? I'll buy.

[SHOUTING] Do I want a drink?

No, I don't want a fucking...

How are you even here?

The bigger question is, what was going on when I came out of the can?

Seems to me that you were hitting on my girl, hmm?

Not bad, right?

Yeah, she's lovely.

You pay for her on my credit card too?

Your credit card?Yeah, my credit card,

the one that you've been using here every Tuesday for the last month.

Son of a bitch, it is yours.

I... I don't have my reading glasses.

How the fuck did you even get that?

I only have one credit card.

You should always have a backup.

That's why I called and ordered you a new one.

But, don't worry, I'll take this one out of the rotation.

Give me that.

So, what, you've just been here in town the whole time?

Nah, I was down in the Bay Area for a while,

but there was a misunderstanding. I had to skedaddle.

So that's it, huh?

The heat was on, and you just hightailed it out of there.

[LAUGHS] You can't hit a moving target.

Yeah, just like you hightailed it

when you found out about Annette.

Who?Annette.

The waitress that you slept with in my bed.

You're gonna have to be more specific.

I was lying right next to you.

Annette. Good kid, a real goer.

You should have gone in on that.

Yeah, Dad, that would be a cherished family memory

like the three-legged race in a father-son picnic.

Yeah, we could have been Eskimo brothers.

Some opportunities come along

you just have to take advantage of.

Like the opportunity to fake your death

instead of raise a kid?Oh, come on.

You were already grown up when I died.

I'm talking about your new kid.

What kid?

Don't give me that shit.

You knocked up Annette, and you fuckin' faked your death

to get out of raising my little brother, Clyde.

Please tell me you're joking. She had a kid?

Yes.

The waitress?Yes, your kid.

I can't believe this. I swear to God, I had no idea.

I... I thought my swimmers went belly up years ago.

Well, okay, then why did you fake your death?

Well, because, at that time,

there were a couple of issues that...

Okay, I knew about the kid.

Oh, God damn it!

Are you really that much of an asshole?

What much of an asshole?

That you would run out on a kid you don't even know?

Okay, maybe I panicked, but can you blame me?

A kid at my age? Do you know how old I am?

Yes, I do because I signed your death certificate.

Look, I couldn't stick around and deal

with all that crazy shit.No, Jack,

'cause you never do, do ya?

And now there's another little boy growing up

in the world without a father.

Oh, he'll be fine. Look at you.

Yeah, look at me. Look at me.

I'm a fuckin' drug-addicted alcoholic

who shines floors for a living.

Right, and I was there for most of the time,

so my being there wouldn't help the kid any.

You were never there.

Oh, for Christ's sake, let's not start this again.

Start what, the truth? Huh?

You think I don't wonder if I might have turned out different

if I had a father who once took me to a ballgame

or checked my homework

or didn't bet my college money on Mike Tyson?

I'd make that same bet today.

I mean, who the fuck is Buster Douglas?

You're a bum, Jack, you know that?

You're a bum, and you always have been.

That's not what you said about me at my funeral.

Cutter really screwed me up.

He kept coming to my work and telling everyone I was an alcoholic.

I lost my job.

And then, you know, what he told my coworkers,

word got around town and nobody would hire me.

So I started drinking a little

and then a lot.

And it was like everything that he said about me suddenly was true.

Where is Cutter?I don't know.

He went off the deep end, deeper end.

He started talking about a B&E and making a big score,

and I just couldn't...

What's a B&E, bacon and eggs?

How the hell would you make a big score with bacon and eggs?

I don't know, rob a Denny's?

I think a B&E is bill of exchange.

No, no, no, it actually means below the elbow.

I read that in a fisting chatroom.

I was taking about breaking and entering.

Anyway, I started avoiding him, and then when I got

kicked out of my apartment, we lost touch and...

I don't know what to say.

I'm a drunk.

Okay.

Well, the good news is, you're here.

No, about why you'd think I'd be a better fit for you.

Well, maybe because you're gay too.

No.

Oh.

Really?

I guess... I always assumed just 'cause, you know...

No, I don't. No.

Oh, face it, Stevie.

You've always been a really snappy dresser.

So? 'Cause I take pride in my appearance, that makes me gay?

Hey, let's face it, Stevie.
