I'm so happy.

I didn't think I could ever be this happy.

Me neither.

I'm gonna spend the rest of my life making sure you're this happy.

I appreciate the sentiment,

but we both know that's not possible.

I can get pretty grouchy.

Mmm. And I'll love you through it.

It's good to see it too, Terry.

You married into this.

- How old are you? - Not as old as you, Grandpa.

- Congratulations again, you two. - Thanks, Chase.

So, Chase, as my best man,

I kinda need you to do me a favor.

- Name it. - Yeah, get Terry away from my wife.

- You got it. - What? I'm only dancing.

Shut up Terry.

I'm sorry. Where were we?

- Babe, hold my earrings. - Yeah.

- They bothering you? - A little bit.

Okay. No problem, my love.

Benny.

- Benny? What? - Hello, Grace.

Lucas, honey, this is Benny.

Yeah. Hey, Benny. Grace told me all about you.

It's, um... It's nice to meet you.

Likewise.

And congratulations... to both of you, that is.

Thank you.

So, Benny, I didn't know you'd be attending.

Oh, I see.

I mean, I'm glad to see you, though.

I'm glad to see you too, Grace.

And of course I'd attend. How could I not?

Hey, well, um, Benny, thank you for stopping by.

Yes, of course.

Thanks for coming. It's so good to see you.

It's always nice to see you, Grace.

So, uh, Benny, Grace tells me you haven't spoken in a few years.

- What have you been up to? - Oh, you know, this and that.

- Brooklyn! - Nice to see you!

I... I'm gonna get some more of those crab bites.

Yeah, you, uh... you do that.

- Did I interrupt something? - Girl, you saved us.

- Okay. - Hey, Brook.

- Hey, Luke. - Thanks for coming.

Oh, I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Can you believe I actually got this guy down the aisle?

No, I can't, but I'm happy for you.

I'm happy for both of you.

I'm a blessed woman.

When God gave out husbands, He gave me the best.

Yeah, He did. Lucas is one of the good guys.

Let's just keep that low 'cause I have a reputation to keep, okay?

Oh, don't worry, your secret's safe with me.

Yeah, me too.

- It's our song. - Sure is.

Okay, I'll let you two get back at it.

I just wanted to say congratulations.

Thank you again. I'll come find you in a bit.

You better.

- Bye, Luke. - Bye, Brook.

- I finally get to dance my wife. - That's the plan, baby.

So, I don't know how to say this,

so I'm just gonna say it.

- Lucas, you son of a bitch. - Oh, God.

Please tell me that's not Mason.

I'm sorry I can't do that.

I thought you said you didn't invite him.

- I didn't. - I don't think he knows that.

I don't think he cares.

Get over here!

Congrats, man! You're finally getting hitched.

Thanks.

And, Ms. Grace, please tell me you know how lucky you are.

This guy could have had anyone he wanted and he chose you.

She chose me.

It's good to see you, Mason.

Sorry I missed the actual ceremony.

Funny story... there's a chick back at the airport...

Okay, I think we all how this story ends.

Yeah, of course you do. You taught me everything I know.

Oh, Mason, my wedding, we're at my wedding.

Yeah, okay, you're right. Sorry, Ms. Grace.

I'm gonna let you boys get caught up.

Chase, care to dance?

Darling, I thought you'd never ask.

I need a drink. You need a drink?

- Uh, I could... - Let's grab a drink.

Move!

A toast to the man no one thought

would ever settle down, settling down.

- Ah! - Oh.

She's amazing, man.

I gotta be honest,

I don't know how I ever lived without her.

Oh, I do.

But this is neither the time or the place to talk about it.

But seriously, bro, I'm happy for you.

Thanks, man.

Lucas and Grace, fricking married.

I can't believe you still remember that.

Remember it? Hell, I think I still got the scar from it.

Oh...

- Okay. Mm... - Yep, got stabbed.

And you wonder why we don't hang out anymore.

What I don't get is you sleep with her sister,

but I'm the one that gets stabbed.

What? No, no, I... you slept with her sister.

You just tried to blame it on me.

- Oh. That's right. - Huh.

So, wait, how'd she know it was me, then?

You sent her a picture of you and her sister.

- Yeah. What's that prove? - You were naked.

- So? - And so was her sister.

- Huh. - Yeah.

Well, I guess that proves it.

You boys having fun?

Mm, something like that.

Well, I won't interrupt.

Just needed a break from my parents.

- Oh, is it that bad? - No, they're fine.

But, I mean, you know how they are.

I do.

Gentlemen.

Madam.

And where have you been?

I was talking to Grace's friend Tasha over there.

She's a real sweetheart.

You be good, Chase.

Always, darling.

I'll let you boys get back to it.

I'm gonna make one more trip around, then I'm getting out of this dress.

Whoa, I thought I was the one

that got to get you out of that dress later.

You'll be getting me out of whatever I'm wearing, don't you worry.

Mmm...

- Don't drink too much, okay? - Mm.

Don't worry Grace, I'll take care of him.

That's what I'm afraid of.

So I'm almost afraid to ask 'cause... anyone seen Terry?

I found him.

Mason, thanks for showing my husband a good time,

but I think this is where we say good night.

I get it. Time to consummate the marriage.

Good night, Mason.

Good night, Grace.

- Mason! - Yo.

Cool seeing you tonight.

Maybe I'll catch you before you hop on the plane?

Might need some alone time with my wife.

I love when you call me your wife.

Yeah, we got some baby-making to do.

And you ruined it.

Good night, Mason. Stay safe.

I always am. No kids yet.

It's not what I meant.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm driving.

- You're not driving. - It's my car.

And you're drunk.

I'm not that drunk.

You're "I hate the ending of Game of Thrones" drunk.

Yeah, but at least he's not "I can't believe the Ultimate Warrior

beat Hulk Hogan in WrestleMania VI" drunk.

- Ugh! - She got that going for it.

Crap! That was crap!

Oh, man, Ultimate Warrior! Whoo!

All right, babe, you know what?

You might be right. You'll get us home faster.

In a hurry to get home?

You have no idea.

That's my boy!

This is married sex!

Good morning, my beautiful wife.

Good morning, my adorable husband.

- Mm. - How'd you sleep?

Great, and I'm even better now.

Why is that?

Because I get to wake up next to you every morning

for the rest of my life.

I don't know how I got so lucky,

but I'm gonna thank God every day that I did.

Oh. I love you, Grace.

I love you, Lucas.

Babe, what's wrong?

I just remembered we have to meet my parents for breakfast.

Oh, I forgot about that.

Remind me again why we agreed to meet with them the morning after our wedding.

Uh, we... we didn't agree to anything.

You agreed, and I got roped into this

because of some new husband clause or something.

New? You make it sound like I've had more than one.

Well, you know there was that tiny little guy, Benny,

that chased you around, nipping at your heels.

- That was pretty serious. - Oh!

Are we forgetting how serious you and Brooklyn were?

Hmm. Hmm.

Now what?

Hi, Mom.

Yep, 11:00, I know. We'll be there.

He didn't have that much to drink, Mom.

Begins already.

Okay, okay, we'll see you soon.

Yeah, 11:00, I know. You just told me.

Okay, all right.

See you soon. Bye.

So in case you didn't know, we're meeting my parents at 11:00.

11:00? Wow, shocker!

I'm gonna go for a jog while you shower, okay?

Why don't we shower together?

Honey, I may not know everything,

but one thing I do know is if we get in that shower together,

there's no way we're meeting my parents at 11:00.

And explain to me again why that's a bad thing.

Shower now.

You now.

Something tells me we're not gonna make

that lunch at 11:00.

Something tells me it'll be worth it.

- Good morning. - Morning. How's it going?

I'm ready. Can't say the same for you.

Only because you showered first.

It's okay, I'll wait for you.

Oh really? How nice of you.

I would wait a lifetime for you.

Babe, you okay?

Yeah, I just got this sharp pain in my head all of a sudden.

Lucas, something's wrong.

Grace? Grace!

Grace!

No, baby! Honey!

Grace? Grace!

Stay with me, baby.

Baby, wake up! Wake up!

Grace!

Somebody help me! Help!

Grace. No.

Grace!

Please, God.

Everything is going to be okay.

Excuse me?

Everything is going to be okay.

Who was that?

No idea.

How you doing?

My beautiful, vibrant wife

just suddenly died from a brain aneurysm.

How do you think?

Sorry, stupid question.

Why are you here, Mason?

'Cause, I'm your best friend.

I might not be able to make you feel any better,

but I'm still gonna try.

I just keep hoping it's a bad dream...

that I'm gonna wake up and...

she's gonna be right next to me where she belongs.

I know, buddy.

You know, the world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.

Did you seriously just quote Rocky?

Sorry.

Look, man, you can be depressed tomorrow,

but today you gotta go on there and talk to Grace's parents,

talk to her friends.

You gotta be her husband.

Does this even matter at this point?

What do you think Grace would want?

Mason, I'm literally about to bury her in the ground.

How would I possibly know what she wants?

Look, we both know I don't believe in this crap...

but you believe she's up in heaven, right?

That's just it.

For me to believe in heaven,

would mean I would have to believe in a God

that would kill my wife.

So, the heavenly kid doesn't believe in heaven.

I'm not sure I do anymore.

That's the funny thing about you Christians.

Y'all believe in God when everything is good

and there's nothing going wrong.

And the minute something bad happens,

you start questioning everything.

Says the non-believer.

Yeah, that's right.

In my opinion, there's no old man in the sky.

But I know you believe Grace is up there

looking down on you.

And I promise you,

she is not happy with you sitting out here

feeling sorry for yourself.

You're probably right.

Yeah, I know.

Lucas.

Hey, Jackie.

How are you holding up?

I've been better.

How about you?

About the same.

I'm really gonna miss Grace.

Yeah, me too.

It doesn't even seem real, you know?

I wish it wasn't real.

I think I'll give you two a minute.

Do you wanna go somewhere quiet, so we could talk?

Oh, I'd love to, but I should probably hang around here.

I know.

I just don't wanna break down in front of all of these people.

You know what? Uh...

Come on, come on.

Okay.

All right.

I think we're alone.

Jackie, what are you doing?

Jackie!

- What? - What do you mean, "What?"

You don't like what you see?

Jackie, what has gotten into you?

Luke, Grace is dead.

Luke, wait!

No one has to know.

Hey, what happened.

Where's the chick?

Lucas, what are you doing out here?

I just, uh, needed some fresh air.

I'll see you inside, okay?

Hey, I'm... I'm really sorry, Luke.

I hope you know that I'm here for you.

I do.

Hey, Luke.

It's okay to not be okay.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What are you doing, brother?

Watching the game, drinking a beer.

Well, it looks like you're wasting your life away.

Yeah, well, looks can be deceiving.

You can't keep doing this to yourself.

And why is that, Chase?

Because you're hurting your family, your friends.

This isn't you.

People change.

Not like this.

Maybe exactly like this.

Luke, when my wife left me,

I felt like a penny waiting for change.

Your wife left you, my wife died.

I'm not saying it's the exact same.

All right...

how did you get over your wife?

I never did.

She was my whole world.

She took my dog.

She took your dog?

She took the damn dog.

I miss that dog.

Chase... and don't take this the wrong way...

I know you came over here to make me feel better.

I gotta be honest, man, you suck at this.

Aw, who am I kidding?

Maybe I'm not the one to help you through this.

All I know is the best way to get over someone

is to get under someone else.

Mason.

What are you doing here?

You guys surprised to see me?

Well, yeah.

I mean, you've been gone for over a year,

so I'd say so.

When did you get back?

Just now, came right here.

That's great. Um, what do you want, Mason?

I'm here to help you get your life back together.

My life?

Yeah, it's dead, buried in the ground.

No, that's your wife.

Same difference.

You know what?

I'm gonna head outside for a smoke.

I'll give you boys a minute to talk.

What are you really doing here, Mason?

Lucas, I know how much you love Grace.

It's like one of those Nicholas Sparks books.

Nicholas Sparks?

Yeah, like one of those chick flicks.

I know you loved her, but she's gone.

Tell me something I don't know.

You're not gone.

You got plenty of life left to live.

I wake up every morning, go to work, pay my bills.

What else do I need to be doing?

- You need to learn to live without Grace. - Hmm.

Ah! No, thanks.

Everything's fine the way it is.

This isn't you.

This has never been you.

You know, I'm getting really sick and tired

of people telling me what isn't me.

What is me, Mason?

Is it the guy that goes partying every night?

How about the guy that goes out

and gets laid by a different chick every night of the week?

You know what? I'll spare you the suspense.

That's not me anymore and it hasn't been in a long time, so...

I know that's not you, not anymore.

You're the guy who falls in love with a great woman

and gets married.

Been there, done that, didn't like how it ended.

You're the guy who never gives up, no matter how hard it gets.

That's you, Lucas.

Maybe this is me.

You might want this to be you,

but I'm not gonna let that happen.

Oh, you're not gonna let that happen?

Okay, so you're gonna just swoop in and save the day?

Yeah, maybe I will.

And, uh, how are you gonna do that?

You got a date, Friday night.

- Are you stupid? - What?

- I'm married! - No, you're not.

It's been a year. It's time to move on.

No! No, no, no, hell, no. Mm-mm.

Come on, man, it's just one date.

I'm not asking you to marry her.

You need to get out and test the waters.

Dude, not happening. Forget it.

You need to do this.

So, let me get this straight.

You've been gone for a year.

You just pop back in, and all of a sudden

you know what I need in my life?

Let me ask you this.

If Grace were here, what would she want?

Grace isn't here.

Exactly.

Obviously, you're gonna be a little rusty tonight,

so let's go over a few basics.

Let's not.

You know you can't bring up Grace tonight, right?

Can we not do this?

I'm just saying,

you haven't been on a date in a long time.

Don't worry, I got it covered, hmm?

I know I've been busting your balls, but...

I'm gonna be serious for a minute.

- Don't hurt yourself. - Very funny.

You remember when we used to play video games?

Do you mean when we were kids?

Yeah, I guess.

Good, so you remember me beating you

in Street Fighter II, right?

- You didn't beat me. - Yeah, I did.

No, you didn't.

The point is I used to beat you all the time

and you'd get all mad and cry, and so we had to start over.

I didn't cry.

Then why did we call you "cry-baby"?

Because I liked that movie.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

Okay, so this is you being serious?

Look, I know life isn't a video game,

but this is your chance to hit the reset button.

You make it sound so simple.

Just one thing.

What?

You should probably take off your wedding ring.

Mason, I...

I know. Believe me, I know.

Just take it off for the date and put it in your pocket.

Put it on a necklace, I really don't care.

Just don't wear it on your finger.

I didn't even wanna go on this date.

You can put it back on the minute the date's over, okay?

Trust me on this one.

Look, man, I... I get it, okay?

And I know it's been over a year, but...

I'm not sure I'm ready for this.

I guess we'll find out, won't we?

Lucas?

Carla.

That's me.

It's nice to meet you.

You as well.

So, have you ever been here before?

Oh, no, but I've heard really good things about it.

Yeah, it kind of has a cool vibe to it.

Yeah, it does.

Yes, it does.

I don't care, I like the shrimp.

You ordered last time. It's my turn. I want the shrimp.

I think you should get whatever you want.

Thank you.

Hello, I'm Brian. I'll be your server tonight.

Can I get you two started with something to drink?

Oh, water is fine.

Yes, it is.

Water, yeah, that's, uh... that's great.

Are we ready to order or do we need a few minutes?

I don't care what he said, I still want the shrimp.

I think you should get the shrimp.

I'm sure it's great, right?

Please, don't be rude.

- I'm sorry? - It's not polite.

I'm gonna give you two a few minutes.

Yeah.

Did I say something to offend you?

No, it's fine.

Because I was just saying, like,

you should just get whatever you want.

Thank you.

I don't care what he said, I still want the shrimp.

You're kidding, right?

Kidding you about what?

This is a joke.

Mason... Mason put you up to this, didn't he?

God. That Mason.

Come out, Mason.

Ha ha, really funny. Joke's over.

That's... This is good. That's good.

This isn't a joke.

Oh...

Sorry, I just assumed this was a joke.

I mean, one minute you're talking to me,

and then the next, you're talking

to what I can only assume is an imaginary friend.

I don't have an imaginary friend.

- Oh. - Oh, my goodness.

Yeah, I know. Rude much?

Right there.

What is your problem?

Um, I'm not the one with the problem.

Really?

'Cause you definitely seem like you have a problem.

Yeah, yeah, he definitely does.

See, there! There it is again.

Why are you being so mean?

I'm not trying to be mean,

but, I mean, you're acting kind of crazy.

Oh!

Please, please, please, don't call me crazy.

What am I supposed to call you when...

You can call me by my name. Mm-hmm.

Okay.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean.

It's just that, again, one minute you're talking to me,

and the next, you're talking to whatever.

I mean, it's a little crazy.

I asked you not to call me crazy!

I hate when guys call me crazy!

Carla, please relax.

I may have gone too far. I'm sorry.

So... for... for what? What?

Sorry for what?

I know. I'm not crazy.

I'm sorry if I offended you?

Oh, offended me?

You mean, for calling me crazy?

Why would I be offended? I mean, I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy.

If I'm being honest, you are acting a little crazy right now.

Stop calling me crazy!

I'm out.

- You're leaving? - Yup!

Thanks for ruining our date. You did ruin it.

I didn't do anything.

Whatever.

Can I help you with anything?

I'd like the shrimp.

- Jeez. - Oh, man.

So, let me get this straight.

You set Luke up with someone who heard voices.

Okay, I guess it's time to come clean.

Wait, are you serious? You knew she heard voices?

No, I didn't know she heard voices.

And I also didn't set you up on the date.

Wait, what?

I did, and you're welcome, bro.

- Are you kidding me? - No.

What? There's nothing wrong with Carla.

Yeah, she's a peach,

you know, besides the fact that she hears voices.

Okay, I admit she's a little crazy.

A little crazy?

Your boy set you up with someone

who's two cans short of a six-pack.

- You just didn't give her a chance. - Mm.

Shut up, Terry.

So, obviously, the date didn't go as planned.

I kind of expected it to be bad.

Just not "she belongs in a straitjacket" bad.

Don't even worry about it.

I already got you set up on a second date.

Yeah, there is no way I'm going on another date

with that woman.

Not with her, someone else.

I didn't even wanna go on the first date.

What would make you think I'd want to go on another one?

But your last date went so well.

- Yeah, no more dates. - Yeah, you are.

Trust me, you'll like this one.

Yeah, you'll like her... till she starts talking to herself.

Okay, forget about crazy Carla.

This is a good girl. You'll really like her.

Nice, sweet, good-looking girl. Trust me.

Did you have a hand in setting this one up too?

Oh, my God, there is nothing wrong with Carla.

Your loss man. I'm gonna call her.

You know, I'm not one to agree with Mason...

but what have you got to lose, brother?

My sanity.

So, it's settled.

One more date.

I'm gonna regret this, aren't I?

Probably.

Are you talking to me now?

Can you please be quiet?

No, not you, you. The other you!

What?

Match made in heaven.

- Caroline. - Hi.

- Hi, I'm Lucas. - Hi.

Thank you again for meeting me in the afternoon.

I'm sure it's probably earlier than you were expecting.

Oh, no, it's fine.

Daytime, nighttime, I'm good with either.

I'm glad to hear that.

If I'm being honest,

meeting in the daytime works out better for me.

I'm not much of a night owl.

Early bird, huh?

Good afternoon. I'm Liz.

What can I get you guys to drink?

Oh, I'll have the sweet tea if you have it.

We sure do.

- And for you? - Water's fine, thank you.

Great. Be right back.

Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?

It's a little early for personal questions, no?

Oh, sorry.

I'm messing with you. Ask me anything you'd like.

Okay, um, so, I guess my question would be...

do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior?

Oh. Um...

Caroline, that's a great question,

but I'd prefer if we don't discuss that right now.

- Okay. Here you go. - Thank you.

All right, are we ready to order?

I'm sorry, not yet.

Okay, I'll give you guys a minute.

So, you don't believe in God?

I, um... I don't really know how to answer that.

It's a simple question.

You either believe in God and accept Jesus Christ

as your Lord and savior or you don't.

It's, um... It's not as simple as you'd think.

I'm going to be honest with you, Lucas.

I don't think I can continue this lunch

if you aren't Christian.

Okay, well, I'm sorry for wasting your time.

So...

So, you don't believe?

It's not that I don't believe.

It's that I...

I really... I really don't know what I believe.

What do you mean?

My wife died about a year ago.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, and it was the morning after our wedding.

I see.

So, you'll forgive me if I don't just believe

in some higher power

that would let something like that happen.

Well, you can't let one bad moment challenge your faith.

Yeah, my wife dying is a little bit more

than just one bad moment.

That's not how I meant it.

No, that's fine, I get it.

But like I said, I would just really prefer

not to talk about this right now.

You have to understand,

faith and God are a very important part of my life.

Okay, that's great for you, Caroline,

but this is our first date.

I mean, could we at least table this till the next one?

If there is a next one.

I'm sorry if I offended you with the comment

I made about your ex-wife.

My wife.

I'm sure you two had an amazing relationship,

which is exactly why God gave you the time with her He did.

Hmm. God gave me the time with her.

Yeah, God killed my wife.

- That's what God did for me. - No. No, Lucas.

Your wife served her purpose here on earth.

God took her back to His kingdom

and now she is happier than she's ever been.

Happier than she's ever been.

You know what?

You don't know the first thing about my wife.

I'm sorry if I upset you. That was never my intention.

You know what? Don't even worry about it.

The fact is, Caroline, this was never gonna work, okay?

You and me, we are two completely different people

with two completely different sets of beliefs.

I don't understand.

Mason said that you were religious.

Yeah, well, Mason was wrong.

It's been a pleasure.

I'll pray for you.

Don't.

So, Lucas is gonna be here, right?

Yeah. Why? You miss him?

No, he wants to see how Lucas's date went.

Shut up, Terry.

What? It's true.

You wanna know if he got on with Sister Caroline.

- She's not a nun, you moron. - Well, how am I supposed to know?

All I know is she was drilling him

with all kinds of Jesus questions.

She did.

Well, he's the one supposed to be doing the drilling.

Well, at least she didn't hear voices.

There's nothing wrong with Carla.

Shut up, Terry.

Blow it up.

What did I miss?

Have a seat, brother.

Chase is dying to know how your date went.

Stay down there, will you?

I thought we were here to play poker,

not talk about my bad dates.

- Come on, it wasn't that bad. - Really?

Were you there when she was drilling me

20 questions about Jesus?

Okay, but other than the Jesus talk,

she's a nice girl, right?

Oh, yeah, I especially liked the part

where she was telling me that my wife is happier dead

than she was alive with me.

Oh, yeah, she's great.

That's rough.

Yeah, I mean she didn't mean any harm by it.

I mean, it's not her fault.

Well, I don't blame you, brother.

Some subjects just aren't meant to be spoken on the first date.

Yeah, I was kind of rude, though.

She didn't deserve that.

So, are you gonna give her a second chance?

No, mm-mm.

She needs someone who wholeheartedly believes in God,

and that's not me.

That used to be you.

Used to be.

Let's go out.

What?

I'm sick of sitting around this poker table.

You've been gone for a year. This is what we do.

It's Friday night poker.

I wouldn't be against a drink.

See?

Yeah, what's this whole "agreeing with Mason" thing?

I'm not sure I like that very much.

I'm just saying, might do you some good.

Let's go out, just the boys.

Like the good old days.

What's the harm in that?

Let's get drunk!

It's up to you, Luke.

We can sit around and play poker

and I'll gladly take all your money.

Or, if you're up for a little more excitement,

I say we go out like the old days and get drunk.

Just completely drunk.

- All right. What the heck? I'm down. Let's do it. - Yeah!

- Let's get completely drunk. - What is that?

- Come on, get in. - No. Get in where?

What are you, 12?

Come on.

Terry, come on, we're going.

Hey, hey, the boys.

Welcome, welcome. What can I get you?

Let me get four shots of Jack.

You got it.

Guys, you'll never guess who I ran into.

This is Candy.

I met her when I was out in LA, now here she is.

Hey, everyone.

Hey, Chase, I need to talk to you for a sec.

Come on, Terry.

Not very subtle. Busy.

That's okay, I don't mind.

I'm Lucas, by the way.

Candy, but you already know that.

So you're in town from LA.

What brings you back?

I loved LA, but it just wasn't for me.

I wanna be an actress for sure,

but I'm just not into doing all those cheap horror films.

Mmm.

Although, some careers kind of got their break

from horror films.

Johnny Depp, Kevin Bacon.

Yeah, but, like, they're guys, it's different.

I think Jennifer Aniston

actually got her break from a horror film.

That's true, but she's, like, the exception to the rule.

Most of those films just cast women to show their boobs.

And I'll be honest,

I'm not giving these babies away for free.

Yeah, no, I, um...

I agree with you on the horror film thing.

I guess at the end of the day

if you really want something bad enough,

you just gotta put the work in.

That's such an old-school way of thinking.

Why would you say that?

Uh, all you have to do is go viral.

Well, sure, if you want your 15 minutes,

and then nobody remembers you.

But don't you want to be someone

that people always remember?

Like Kim Kardashian!

Now exactly what I had in mind, but, sure.

Yo, Candy cane! There you is!

Oh, Razor!

Lucas, I want you to meet my best friend, Razor.

Hi. Nice to meet you, Razor.

Just Brad, but everybody call me Razor.

Razor, you will never guess who I ran into.

- Who? - Mason.

- "Mason from LA" Mason? - That's the one.

Yo, where he at?

You know Mason too?

Oh, yeah, I know Mason.

That's my boy.

I don't see him.

Candy, are you down to go find Mason for me, hmm?

- Sure thing, Razor. - I'll keep your boy company.

I'll be right back.

Don't go anywhere, okay?

I'll be right here.

- Whoa! - Oh, I'm okay.

She'll need Life Alert.

Can I get you guys anything?

Beer is fine.

Great. And for you?

I'm undecided.

Right. Right.

So, Lucas,

what's the deal with you and my girl Candy?

Oh, there's no deal, man.

Just met her.

So you ain't interested at her?

No, she's not really my type.

Really?

And here's your beer.

Thank you.

So let me ask you this.

If you ain't interested in my girl Candy,

what do you say you and me get out of here?

Sorry about that.

Um...

Um... the reason I'm not interested in Candy

isn't because she's a female.

I like women. I'm not gay.

Gay? Whoa.

Who's talking about being gay?

- Oh, I just... - I ain't gay.

I mean, it's obvious that you ain't interested

in my girl Candy, but I'm sorry, I ain't gay.

- I apologize. - Relax.

It's all good.

I mean, unless you're interested.

- So you are gay? - Are you?

- No. - Me either.

So, you're not gay.

Nope, not unless you are.

I'm not.

Great, neither am I.

You know what?

Early morning tomorrow.

Could you just tell Candy I had to leave?

You know, if you change your mind,

you know where to find me.

I won't, but... thank you.

Mm, mm, mm!

- Hey, buddy. - What?

- So, are you gay or what? - What?

No, I ain't gay.

Why? Are you?

No, man. No, I'm not gay.

Me neither.

Sorry, buddy.

I know the trip to the club

didn't exactly swing the way you expected.

That's funny, yeah.

So, he said he knows you, Mason.

Is there something you're not telling us?

No, definitely not, definitely not.

Huh. Yeah.

So, did you set it up?

No, dude.

Mason.

Okay, maybe I texted her on the way to the club.

That's it.

She was already there.

Yeah, with her gay best friend.

All right, I get it. Times have changed, right?

But people have too.

They haven't all changed.

I don't think I like where this is going.

You know me too well.

Oh, come on, man, you too?

Luke, here's the thing.

You went on a date with some girl Mason set you up with,

and then you went on a date with some crazy girl

that Terry set you up with.

Please don't remind me.

All I'm saying here is...

you've let Mason who, with all due respect,

doesn't know you like I do.

And Terry...

I didn't know it was Terry who was setting me up.

True, nevertheless, you went on that date.

Now, all I'm saying is that I'm a little bit older

and a heck of a lot more wiser and more mature

than these two knuckleheads.

And besides, I know you, the new you,

much better than they do.

- Hey, I take exception to that. - And you should.

The only reason I'm even considering this

is because it's you.

I wouldn't steer you wrong, Luke.

Better not.

Fine, I'll do it.

Go ahead, set it up.

You got it.

You won't regret it.

Until the next poker game.

Hi. Is Daisy home?

Daisy is my daughter.

What would be your intentions with her?

We're just going out for a few drinks.

Boy, I know what "a few drinks" means.

No, it's nothing like that.

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit.

You, sir, are the first man on God's green earth

who's taken a woman out,

not expecting to get his tallywhacker wet.

O-kay.

Could you get Daisy, please?

Daisy, holler on out here.

Got some pretty boy waiting on you.

You have my daughter home by 11:00, you hear?

I'll sure try.

Don't test me, boy.

Daddy, stop.

Daddy, Daddy, please go inside.

Please, go inside.

I'm sorry about that.

My daddy is a little over-protective.

Uh, yeah.

It is a little weird for someone so ol... mature

to still live at home with her over-protective father.

But anyway, I'm Lucas.

I'm Daisy Mae, but you can me call Daisy.

It's nice to meet you, Daisy.

Are you ready to go get crazy?

Yeah, sounds like fun.

Wow, nice shot.

You know what Daddy always says?

No, but I'm sure you're gonna tell me.

There's one rule you must always follow

when you're playing a game of pool.

Really?

And what rule is that?

You got to chalk that stick real good.

What? Cat got your tongue?

Um, no, no, no, no.

It's not that.

Come on, Mr. Man, whatcha thinking?

If I'm being honest?

There's no other way to be.

I really like the way you chalk that stick.

Well, I really like you.

You're not so bad yourself, Daisy Mae.

You like me?

Yeah, I think you're...

Sexy?

Definitely sexy.

How sexy?

Do you mean like on a scale of one to 10 or...?

You're such a jerk.

But I'm a cute jerk?

Is that your dad over there?

Yeah, that's Daddy.

- He comes here all the time. - Hmm. Of course he does.

Pay him no mind. He's harmless.

But I'm not.

Morning.

What the f...?

How did you guys even get in here?

The back door. It's never locked.

I got to start locking that door.

You ever heard of knocking?

Tried it once, didn't like it.

And why are you guys here so early?

It's 3:00 in the afternoon.

- It's that late? - Yeah, sure is.

Guess somebody had a great time last night.

Speaking of which, you should probably put some clothes on.

Eh.

So I came to find out how your date went last night.

I have no idea why he's here, I found him out in the yard.

Dude, did you know your neighbor showers with her curtains open?

- Dude, she's, like, 80! - I know, right?

So anyway, how was your date?

It was actually pretty good.

A little awkward, but good.

Couldn't get it up, could you?

You're an idiot, Terry.

No, that wasn't why.

So you had sex.

Nope, didn't have sex.

Dude, what are you waiting for?

Do you wanna hear why the date was awkward or not?

Yeah, what happened?

So, I get there to pick her up and her dad's there,

and he's trying to intimidate me.

Oh, that's it?

Finally get out of there, go to the bar,

and, poof, he's there too.

That's nothing.

Oh, my God, one of my friends knows how to knock.

Imagine that.

Come in! Lou's is open.

Join the party.

Hey.

Oh, hey, Brook.

- Hi. - Good to see you.

Sorry, I didn't realize you had company.

- Oh. Eh. - What's the matter?

You can't say "what's up" to anyone?

Hi, Terry. What's up?

My heart rate when I'm around you.

Wow.

Um, I can come back.

- Sorry. - It's okay.

I just wanted to see how you were doing.

I've come by a few times and called and texted

more than a few times, and I just, I never hear back.

Yeah, I know, and I'm sorry about that.

It's just... honestly, I haven't really known what to say.

It's okay. I just wanna make sure you're okay.

Oh, I appreciate that.

Okay, so I feel like Terry is staring at my ass, so I'm gonna go.

But, hey, it was good to see you.

It's really good to see you too.

- Oh, Luke. - Yeah.

Nice boxers.

- Bye, Brook. - Bye.

Hello?

Oh, you know what, man?

I'm a little tired anyway, so we can just do this tomorrow.

Grab dinner or something.

All right.

I am not feeling this. He'll get over it.

Second thoughts?

Do I know you?

Can't say that you do.

I swear I've seen you before.

I get around a lot.

Okay, then, you, uh... you have a good night.

Everything is going to be okay.

That's it.

You said that at my wife's funeral.

I meant it.

But you don't know me.

I don't need to.

Then how do you know everything's gonna be okay?

Just have faith.

- Is here okay? - Yeah, this is great, thank you.

I'll be back in just a few minutes.

Yeah, take your time. I'm still waiting on someone.

Is this seat taken?

Brook.

Unless you're expecting someone else.

I was expecting Mason.

- You were? - Uh, yeah.

Um... sit, please.

- Are you sure? - Yeah, absolutely.

So, how are you, Luke?

Uh, I'm...

I'm good. Y-yeah, I'm good.

Trying to convince me or yourself?

No, I'm sorry. I'm just a little...

I was expecting Mason.

Would you rather it be him than me?

No. No, no, no, definitely not.

Good.

Did he tell you you were meeting me?

He did.

Yeah, and did he tell you that I knew I was meeting you?

- Yeah, he did that also. - Mm-hmm.

- Yeah. Sounds like Mason. - It does.

So he tells me that you've been going on a lot of bad dates lately.

Yeah, it's... it's been pretty rough.

I didn't know you were dating again.

Well, I'm not. I mean, I...

No, no, I'm not.

Sure, you're not, no.

So, is this where you take all your dates?

No, no, it just... this place usually isn't very crowded,

so I don't have to deal with people.

Yeah, avoiding that deep part of the question, huh?

No, no, no, it's not that.

It's just I wouldn't really call them dates.

Honestly, I don't even know how to date anymore.

Yeah, me either.

You forget I've been single for a really long time.

Well, I mean, that's because most guys are idiots.

Thanks, Luke.

I mean, I would know.

I used to be one of those idiots.

Yeah, that's true.

But you've changed a lot since then.

Oh, I hope not too much.

I mean, I like to keep being all kinds of awesome.

Okay, you can keep thinking that.

Oh, that's what I love about you, Brook.

You'll always call me on my shits.

I need someone like that in my life.

Why? Mason's not doing it for you anymore?

No, it's not that. It's just that...

Well...

things are different, you know, since Grace has been gone.

I mean...

I'm different.

I've been really worried about you, Luke.

Yeah, I know. I, um...

I got all your voice mails and your texts.

I just...

I-I'm just kind of in a place where I couldn't really talk to anyone.

But I know you tried to be there for me,

and I'll never forget that.

You really are a good person, Brook.

Thanks.

Hello, I'm Renee. I'll be your server tonight.

Are we ready to order?

Um, you know what?

We just got right into talking,

so we haven't even looked at the menu yet.

Are you like me?

Do you already know what you want?

No, unlike you, I haven't been here a thousand times.

What's good?

Anything but the shrimp.

Okay.

I had such a good time tonight.

I did too.

Again, I gotta be honest,

I was really surprised to see you.

I mean, it's great that Mason didn't show up and you did, but...

I'm glad. I'm glad you're happy.

I was. I am.

I mean, how long has it been,

I mean, since me and you got to hang out just me and you?

Sometimes I really miss the old days.

Yeah, me too.

We should do this more often.

I would love to.

What are you thinking about?

I hate to say it, but I think Mason was right.

Right about what?

It's like he somehow knew that if I got to hang out with you

that I would feel like my old self again.

Well, I'm glad that I can help you feel like your old self again.

Me too.

I mean, wow, I can't even tell you.

Like, just the being out without the pressure of dating,

you know, just hanging out with a friend.

Yeah...

hanging out with a friend.

Wait, I'm sorry.

Did Mason tell you this was a date?

- It's okay. - No...

I shouldn't have assumed it was something it wasn't.

It's fine.

No, Brook, that's not how I meant it.

- It's fine. - I mean, I guess I...

Hey, you know what?

Thank you for the wonderful evening.

It was really great hanging out with a friend.

No. Brooklyn, plea... wait.

Brooklyn!

Damn it, Mason!

What the hell?

Jackie?

Hey, Lucas.

We need to talk.

I'm kind of in the middle of something here.

You have 30 seconds to get outside.

Come on, man. I can't finish that fast.

You could join in if you want to.

30 seconds outside.

I'll be right back. Don't finish without me.

- The hell, bro? - No, you don't get to be mad.

- How do I not get to be mad? - You set me up with Brooklyn?

Of course I did. She's had a thing for you for years.

- No, she hasn't. - Don't be an idiot, man.

She never got over you and you never got over her.

Mason, it's Brook. What were you thinking?

I was thinking the same thing

that everyone else has been thinking,

that she's the one for you.

- No, Grace is the one for me. - Grace is dead.

Grace is dead, Luke.

So what?

I'm just supposed to move on?

- Is that it? - Yeah, that's it.

Can't do it.

Yeah, you can.

Grace is gone. You need to move on.

All right, I don't need to do anything you tell me to do,

including getting over my wife.

You wanna know what I think?

No, and I don't really care.

I think you had a great time with Brooklyn.

I think she made you feel things you haven't felt since you've been with Grace.

And I think you know I'm right.

You got to realize that this is God's plan for you.

- You don't even believe in God. - I don't have to, you do.

Everything happens for a reason, right?

Stop.

No, you need to hear this.

You lost your wife, you lost your faith.

You lost everything that you believe in.

I think it's time for you to realize

that you need to live this life without Grace.

- You wanna know what I think? - What do you think?

I think you're an asshole.

That's what I think.

So, you still haven't heard from Lucas, huh?

- No. Have you? - No.

I tried calling him, but he isn't answering.

Yeah, he's not even answering for me.

Shut up, Terry.

This sucks, man.

I just wanted to help him, and all I did was make things worse.

Brother, you can't blame yourself.

Yeah, Lucas is gonna get over it.

Maybe. But what if he doesn't?

He will, brother.

He just needs time to process things.

He's going through a lot right now.

Yeah.

I just wanted to be there for him.

I guess I should have known I'm not that kind of friend.

Maybe you are.

What do you mean?

Think about it.

I'm thinking about it. I still won't get it.

You will.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Shut up, Terry.

Just shut up.

Hey, it's Lucas. Yeah.

Um, so, look, I know our last date

didn't exactly end as planned.

So, I don't know, what do you, uh...

what do you think about maybe giving it another shot?

Yes, I'm asking you out.

How about now?

Okay. No. Great.

I'll... I'll see you in a bit.

Okay.

- Hello, darling. - Hey, you.

Should we get out of here before your dad kills me?

- Daddy's not home. - Oh! Mm...

Oh!

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Oh, it's...

I can't do this.

Is it me?

No, no, it's definitely not you, it's me.

Oh, honey, I can help you with that.

Mm! Mm-mm, mm-mm.

No, no, no, it's not that.

Daisy, I think you're great

and I'm probably gonna hate myself for this later,

but I gotta go.

I don't understand.

There's someone else?

- Then why'd you call me? - Well, I... whoa.

What the hell are you doing with my daughter?

Daddy, what are you doing home?

Now, you shush.

You got five seconds to explain yourself.

I'm gonna hit you so hard, I'll kill your whole family.

It's not what it looks like.

Really?

Well, that's a relief.

'Cause it looked like you were taking ol' one-eye to the optometrist.

What?

You were trying to have sex with my daughter!

- Daddy, he wasn't. - I told you to be quiet.

I was not trying to have sex with your daughter.

Really?

'Cause I swear when I walked in, you were busier

than a cat covering shit on the marble floor.

I... I think I can see why you would think that,

but that that's not at all what it was.

Daddy, nothing happened.

Nothing happened, I promise.

Get. Gone.

- Now! - Yeah! Mm-hmm!

I didn't do anything, Daddy.

Daddy, I didn't do anything, I promise.

I know you didn't.

So you believe me?

Honey, that boy didn't know whether to shit or wind his watch.

I love you, Daddy.

Lucas?

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I tried calling.

Yeah, saw that.

You didn't call me back.

I don't know what you want me to say to you, Luke.

That's fine. You don't have to say anything, just listen.

What do you want?

- I want to apologize. - Apologize?

I wanna apologize for what happened at the end of our date.

Oh, it wasn't a date, remember?

Brook, I'm so sorry I hurt you.

I... I didn't mean to.

I know you didn't,

but that doesn't change how it felt.

But I... I would never intentionally hurt you.

Okay, thanks for apologizing. Have a good night.

No, Brooklyn, come on.

We've been friends for way too long.

What do you want me to say to you, Luke?

I thought you saw me the way that I saw you, finally,

or the way that you used to, but you don't.

And, eventually, I'll be okay with that.

But I can't pretend that it didn't hurt.

No, Brook, you weren't wrong. I was wrong.

I should've never said that it felt like

two friends hanging out, because it didn't.

You didn't feel like a friend that night, Brook.

- You are just saying that. - I'm not just saying that.

I'm trying to say what I should've said that night.

And what should you have said that night?

I should have said to you that...

I... I should have told you that I...

Exactly! You already said everything that you have to say.

So you know what? Thank you for stopping by.

- Have a good night. - Brooklyn, wait.

Luke, go home. Just go home.

Oh, you again.

So much for "everything's gonna be okay."

Everything is going to be okay.

Mm.

I just hurt my best friend.

How's that okay?

She'll be okay.

So will you.

I don't see it happening.

It's not about seeing, it's about believing.

- Hey, Brook! Ah! - Oh, Jesus!

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm fine, wasn't planning to have any kids anyway.

I'm so sorry, but how was I supposed to know it was you?

I need to talk to you.

So you jump out and scare me?

Nice way to start a conversation.

How'd you know I'd be here anyway?

I've known you for over a decade.

I think I know your routine by now.

Stalker.

Really?

You kick me in the balls and then you call me names?

I don't think you're the girl Lucas thinks you are.

That's why you're here.

No, of course not.

Don't lie to me.

Yeah, fine, he's the reason I'm here.

Well, I don't really know what you or Lucas

think there's left to say.

Brook, I know you're upset.

I never thought he'd act like that.

If I did, I wouldn't have set you up on the date.

Well, it wasn't a date, so don't worry about it.

- It's over. - But that's just it.

It's not over.

It's not over for you, it's not over for Lucas.

What do you mean it's not over for Lucas?

Let's just say the last time I saw Lucas,

the only thing he kept talking about is how he messed up things with you.

He said you made him feel things he hasn't felt since he's been with Grace.

Lucas said that?

- Would I lie? - Yeah.

Good point, but I'm not lying about this.

He tried to apologize to me,

but I thought he was just trying to make me feel better.

He knows he messed up. He wants to do the right thing.

Well, he said we're just friends.

Have you ever had your heart broken, Brook?

Yes, by Lucas years ago.

Have you ever had your spouse die

the morning after your wedding?

- No. - Me neither.

So we both don't know how damaged Lucas is.

All I know is he's crazy about you.

Maybe it took him longer to realize that than you'd like.

Maybe he totally screwed up that first date

and maybe, just maybe, he realized he loves you.

He can't love me, Mason.

Stop being so naive.

The guy's known you for over 15 years.

Don't you think those feelings have always been there?

- What if you're wrong? - What if I'm right?

What if I put myself out there again

and he decides that he's just not interested?

Or what if I'm a rebound?

He already had a rebound.

No, not like that.

He went on a second date with that chick

that Chase set him up with.

Couldn't pull the trigger, if you know what I mean.

He told her his heart belonged to someone else.

Yeah, Grace.

Look, Brooklyn, all I know is my best friend

hasn't been happy for over a year,

and now, for the first time in a long time,

he seems like he wants to be happy again.

The problem is

the only person right now that can make him happy is you.

So go make him happy, will you?

You know something, brother?

If Brook is the one that you're supposed to start your life over with,

then you need to get up off your ass,

go out there, and go get her.

I tried. I tried to talk to her.

I tried to apologize to her.

She wasn't having it.

So you try again.

And I'll look desperate.

Do you love this girl, Luke?

Do you wanna be with her?

- Of course I do. - Then go be with her.

It's not that simple.

You forget, brother, this ain't my first rodeo.

You know what the secret to life is?

What?

One thing.

You're quoting City Slickers, really?

One thing, Luke... you grab onto that...

everything else don't mean jack.

You're right.

You're right.

Go get your girl.

I'm gonna go get my girl.

Right now.

Oh, yeah, right. I'm...

Now. I'm gonna go get her.

Up and at 'em.

Brooklyn.

Uh, wh...

Guys, I'm just...

I'm just gonna go.

Nice to see you again, Brooklyn.

- Luke. - Yeah.

I know this is gonna sound crazy, 'cause this is all I've wanted,

but can we take things a little slow?

Yeah, of course.

I want you and I really wanna be with you,

but I want all of you, Luke, not just this.

That's fine.

We don't have to do this right now.

We can wait as long as you want.

- Thanks. Date night? - Date night.

- What do you have in mind? - Hmm.

You, me, Pulp Fiction?

You know me too well.

- I'll get the popcorn. - Okay.

Stay.

What... what happened with taking it slow?

On second thought, I think we've waited long enough.

Good morning, beautiful.

Good morning.

Last night was amazing.

Is this is the part where you tell me that we're just friends?

Thank you for giving me another chance.

Well, you can thank Mason for that.

Mm, yeah, I guess he did turn out to be a pretty good friend.

But he did set me up with some horrible dates.

Yeah, but look where those horrible dates led you.

- Right where I'm supposed to be. - Mm.

Can I make you breakfast?

As much as I'd like to stay with you,

and I do want to stay here with you,

we both know I have a routine to keep.

You mean that marathon that you run every morning?

It's not a marathon, but, yes,

that's what I'm talking about.

Can't you just skip a day?

How about we see if you can make breakfast

by the time I get back from my run?

- Hmm, challenge accepted. - Mm.

Oh.

- Morning. - Morning.

- Hey. - Hey.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah. I'm just...

I'm really happy to see you.

Brook, can I tell you something?

Yeah, you can tell me anything.

These last few months, I mean, really, the last year,

it's been so crazy, just ups and downs,

some really brutal downs, and I know its gonna sound cliché,

but I think, I believe now,

that everything happens for a reason.

I mean, I needed to go through all that

to kinda get to where I am today.

To be the man that I am,

the man that you deserve.

I'm so happy.

I love you, Brooklyn.

I love you too, Lucas.

Hey, Luke.

Yeah.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Yeah.
