This is it. Is this your first club weekend?

Yeah, I've only done one-nighters.

I miss you.

I'm in a comedy condo.

I feel like I'm on witness protection.

Hey. Are you working this weekend?

Yeah, I just saw the lineup.

We could've, you know, come up together.

PETE: Yeah, I wish I had known.

-I'm actually dating somebody now, so. -Cool.

PETE'S MOTHER: You wanna make people happy, darling?

Remind them of your faith.

I'm six-foot-six. I kind of look like Goliath

if he went to prep school.

Does that make sense?

(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)

You gotta get up when you can get up.

You gotta grind it.

I'm sorta considering doing this Christian tour.

I meant-- I mean, real comedy.

Right.

Yeah, no, I'm not--I'm not sure I'm gonna do it either.

-Kat: This is it? -This is it.

Kat: Oh, my God. Team Pete.

Pete: It is so weird to be back here.

Kat: I wish I had known you in high school.

Pete (laughs): Yeah.

I don't think you would've noticed me.

I was such a stressed out kid.

My dad hadn't stopped drinking yet, and...

nobody told me I didn't have to carry all of my books to class...

-(Kat chuckles) -...so I was like a little hunchback.

-Oh. -I bet you were cooler.

Somebody I'd be afraid to talk to.

No. I was a mess in high school.

I was tall and gangly, and I was on swim team,

so I smelled like chlorine all the time.

And I was friends with everybody,

but nobody actually knew me.

I would've talked to you.

Thank you.

This is big for a high school.

Yeah.

It's like a campus. It was bigger than my college.

And right here, once a year,

we'd all do "See You at the Pole."

What is that?

Once a year, the Christian kids

would hold hands around the flagpole and pray.

-Is that legal? -I have no idea.

(chuckles)

Your school didn't have "See You at the Pole?" It was a national thing.

No, we just bought drugs by the pole.

(chuckles)

-Do you want to pray right now? -No.

Although, maybe we should.

High school Pete thinks what grown-up Pete is doing

is very, very bad.

I don't think so.

I bet he would love it.

(chuckles) I think you're right.

Just don't tell the booker of the Good Faith Comedy Tour.

I think they think they're booking high school Pete.

Kat: Ooh, Sir Tanks-A-Lot.

Wait. Do I smell like cigarettes?

(sniffs)

-A little bit. -Uh-oh.

Well, I'll fix that. I don't want them

getting the wrong impression of me.

I always feel like I'm ten.

I'm in a car and I'm ten.

Now do I smell like cigarettes?

(sniffs) You smell like French cigarettes.

-(laughs) -(phone chimes)

Red flower cigarettes.

Who's this?

Oh, um...

I was gonna tell you about that.

It's, um...

Uh, it's just-- remember the weekend

that I worked in, uh, New Jersey, at a club?

-Did you fuck this girl? -No! God!

It's nothing-- It's not like that at all.

It's-it's-it's... It's a friend.

It's, uh-- We're barely friends.

She's my-- You know, we dated,

-a while ago, and then, um... -Okay, so it's someone that you used to fuck.

Um, hold on.

I know it sounds weird, but it was just work.

It was-- That's somebody I work with,

and we had a thing, and that's over.

And I got to the condo, and she was there.

Wait. You stayed in the same condo together?

Kitty, I don't-- I... I don't know what I--

-I don't know what I did. -You don't know what you did?

-I was doing my job. -What you did is you lied.

-I didn't lie. I didn't know. -No, you omitted the truth.

I just, you know, to find the right moment.

I didn't want to hurt your feelings,

so I wanted to wait for you to be

in the right mood but not right before the move.

(crying): I can't believe this.

Kat-- Kitty, no.

-Hold on. Can we just-- -(sobbing)

Can we talk about this later?

I-- I think they saw the car.

(sniffles) Yeah, let's go meet your parents.

Hold on.

Kitty, let's--

Hello!

Sweetie!

Oh, my best boy in the whole world.

-Hello, Mom and Dad. -Hi!

-You must be Kat. -How are you?

-Pete: Good to see you. -Oh, you're so tall!

You didn't tell me she was so tall.

This is Kat. Yep, she's tall.

It's so nice to meet you both.

You have such a beautiful home.

Stop it. You should see it

when the begonias are in bloom.

I'm so sorry you came so late.

We just finished lasagna.

Oh, yeah. We, um, we ate on the way, just a little bit.

Mr. Holmes, I've heard so much about you.

Oh, please, call me Tom.

Mr. Holmes is my doctor. It's just a coincidence.

(laughing)

(polka music playing quietly in background)

So, Kath...

Um, it's Kat, Dad.

-Oh, sorry. -Kat: Yeah, that's fine.

I thought it was Kath like Kathy.

Kat: No, it's just Kat.

I went to school with a Kathy, Kathy Anstead.

She was Dutch.

-Oh, okay. -Are you Dutch?

-No. -Huh.

-Kat: Yeah. -I am so glad my boy is back in town.

Thank you. Thank you, Mama.

Oh, okay.

And here's Pete with his brother John, who works with his dad.

-Isn't he a nut? -He's so cute.

And this is Pete on his mission to Uganda.

Look at him with braces.

Oh, yes. Enough about us.

I want to hear about you. Tell me about your family.

Uh, I have one big sister, who's an engineer.

-Oh my! -Yeah.

And your parents, where do they live?

My mom is outside of D.C.,

Aw, well...

Marriage is a tough thing.

Yes, it's a tradition.

-We recreate it every year. -Oh, my God.

Oh.

She broke our hearts.

I'm gonna get you some fresh towels and a scented pillowcase.

-Cool, thank you. -Sure.

Tom: Isn't she a beauty?

Yeah. Do you-- Do you canoe?

Oh, a fellow up in Kennebunkport

We... My mom was like my best friend until I was...

I get it. Like I had a fucked up dynamic with my mom, too,

but we figured it out and have worked through it.

It's hard to break away when your parents are abusive, so...

She-- she's a lot, but it's not--

I don't think it's abusive.

No, it is. That's called "emotional incest,"

That was a lovely service, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was beautiful.

The pastor certainly has a way with words.

-Mm-hmm. -He's done some acting, you know.

-Oh my gosh! -Last year, he did the Sermon on the Mount

-from memory. -Wow.

Are you excited about the show tonight?

Oh, we're so excited.

I'm so glad the Lord is using Peter's gift for His purpose.

He's always had a calling.

Yeah. I think this is gonna be so good for his brand.

Like, this is his market.

Well, it's not his brand. It's his heart.

He's found a path that falls in line with his faith.

I think Peter's spirituality is a little more fluid these days,

like mine.

Oh.

Were you raised in the church?

I wasn't raised with anything formal, um...

But I just sort of believe that God is in all of us.

You know, like... we're all God in drag, you know?

It's just consciousness.

Like, I don't pray,

I just listen to the part of me that is God.

So you think you're God?

Yeah, but I think you're God, too.

Sweetheart, God is God.

The ocean is made of water,

he'll call ketchup "Irish gravy."
