Original subtitles

That's my dad, Mickey Ferrera

He makes records Hit records

Which you've probably heard

Especially if you're his age

You know, when people danced really weird?

I mean, come on, just look at his hair

Some of his songs might even be your life soundtrack

Although he hasn't made one that good in a long time

But he keeps trying,

hoping for that certain magical epiphany

Personally, I think it's the band he's producing

Motherfucker

- Let's go - Fuck you

What the fuck is this?

Spies from the record label

What started it this time?

Fuck--

Somebody stole somebody's cookies or drugs

or drug fucking cookies, I mean, these fucking guys, I--

Shit You're drunk-- Stop-- Fuck you

So you guys warmed up, you wanna try one?

Yeah, sure

Okay, let's do it

You're not feeling it, are you, brother?

Sounds great, guys I'll be back later

We're so fucked

We are fucked

Nice Atta girl

Looking good

So good up there, that's good, nice and relaxed

My sister Jennifer has a passion

Horse riding Actually, two passions

The other one

is the horse trainer

Brando looks good

Dad, why are you here?

Don't you have stuff to do for tonight?

I told your mom I'd drive you home

I don't finish till 5:00

I can wait

She's really coming along, Mickey

I mean, Mr Ferrera

If she keeps this up, she'll have Olympic scouts

swarming all over her

As long as it's the only thing swarming all over her

Right

Well, okay, uh, I should go, cool Brando down now

-Dad, I can take care of myself -Don't doubt it

Besides, if you didn't work so much,

maybe he'd get to see more of how I'm actually doing

I know, honey, but Brando might get a little teary-eyed

if I was forced to stop earning a living,

and you had to say goodbye to him

I'll see you later?

Olympic scouts, huh?

Not bad, kid

That's my mom, Sofia

And I know what you're thinking, so stop it

And then there's me, Cody Ferrera

Cody, I made you a snack, honey

My two passions, my beats and my drawings

Cody

Actually, there's a third

I am starving

Wow, look at you You look great

You got a hot date tonight?

Come on

It's your father's and my 19th year anniversary tonight

Oh, you mean you guys actually hang out?

Well, he is running late, as per usual

Oh, gotta go Give me a kiss

Hey, boss, uh,

they're still debating about whose songs to rehearse

- What should I do? - Leave

And lock them in

Soon they'll realize how important this album is

when they can't go home or buy more booze and drugs

Everything okay?

I just found out from the label

that they're getting a new A&R guy

This might be the last album I get to produce

But, hey, you and I started with nothing,

so going back there wouldn't be such a big deal, right?

Mm

My dad had this big surprise dinner

arranged for Mom, but like the poet says,

"The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry"

I think we should talk about Cody

He's been quiet again lately, and--

I'm getting worr--

Mickey, if you could just put your phone aside

for five seconds while we talk about our son?

Geez, if I had a dollar for every call and text you made,

I would be a very wealthy woman

Well, you are a wealthy woman, you have me

Come on, Sof, this is our special night

Can't we just have a little fun?

Tonight shouldn't be any different

-when it comes to our kids -And it's not

The kids are our life,

and I think we've done a great job

Give me your hand

Listen, I promise I'll talk to Cody, okay?

But tonight's our anniversary

To 19 glorious years, and to 19 more

Hello, sweeties

Behold Lucy the Magi

How about a little dinner trick?

You've got to be kidding me, Mickey

What? I didn't set this up

No, he didn't Indulge me

Think of a card, Sofia

And yet she knows my name

Psychic Any card

Am I feeling a little pushback here?

Think of a card, girl

Think of a card

Mickey, right?

Can you flip over a bill?

Slowly

Was it a seven of hearts?

Not even close

Was it a seven of diamonds?

Was it the seven of clubs?

Yeah, it-- it was the seven of clubs

That's amazing How'd you do that?

Lucy the Magi, sweetie

Now, make two fists, and stretch it over the table

What's in your right hand?

I think my work here is done

Mickey, what are you doing?

I just want you to know that after I finish this album,

-I'm taking my beautiful wife -No, no

and our two wonderful kids

on a trip to a faraway exotic island

Where we'll spend a week, a month, a year,

whatever your heart desires

Honey, no

I want us to renew our wedding vows, Sofia,

right here, right now

Before these lovely strangers and God

I want us to recommit to our sacred eternal marriage

Just stop

What's wrong, baby?

I want a divorce

Cody? Jennifer

I'm sorry Mickey But we're done

Anyone ever tell you your body's built to surf?

You guys okay?

Yeah, we're fine, we're great

And you're drunk

We're trying to stay busy,

and pretend the very fabric of this family

isn't being torn apart

Where's your mom?

Back room

Sof, can we talk?

I don't want to talk

Just tell me why

Is it me? Is it the work?

I can change all that

No, it's not just that

Is it someone else?

Sofia, you gotta tell me

Where are the kids?

They're on the couch

Are you okay, Dad?

Yeah, I'm good I'm good

It's okay, it's okay, guys, it's all right

You guys okay?

You hungry?

Dad, it's 1:00 AM

Not in Amsterdam

Open the door

Open the fucking door

Open the door

Damn motherfucker

Ugh

Hey, Emerson, how's it going?

If you don't get over here soon,

and open this fucking door,

I'm gonna piss all over your fucking beautiful vintage board

Then I'm gonna take a groupie on that motherfucker, okay?

Not only that, you locked us in with Robby Krieger

Hey, no big deal, man

Back in '69, they locked us in here,

the four of us, and it worked out pretty good

Hey, we're The Doors, man

Shit Robby Krieger's in my studio

You know, it's a fact that when divorces happen,

more often than not,

the children become a bargaining tool

I'm fine with that

Please don't let that happen to Cody

I promise I won't let that happen

I love you both way too much

That's for damn sure

Fuck it

-Hey, Briggs -What up, Bobby?

Ricky, you in here again?

Yikes

Mr Felony

How'd you know?

I got a friend

She's a judge

Come on, sunshine, time to go

Come on, you hungry?

Are you kidding? I could eat a zombie

You see that lawyer in there?

- He pissed himself - Shit, really?

Attica Attica Attica

Attica Attica Attica Attica

Attica Attica Attica

Didn't I tell you she was bad luck?

-No, when? -Well, I thought it

You're my older brother, bro

I look up to you I kept it to myself

You said you were hungry, bro

Yeah, well, I lost my appetite

when it suddenly dawned on me that I'm 55,

and I'll have to start my life all over again

Mick, you're such a drama queen, bro

Look at me, you wanna know my schedule for today?

Let's see, uh, I'm gonna go surf

Get some waves to my head

Run a training session for a trophy wife client

Stop by for a massage and a happy ending

And no "Honey, do this" from some ball and chain

Hey, don't talk about Sof like that

The woman who just humiliated you

in front of all your friends, family

and a whole restaurant full of strangers?

The woman who wants a divorce?

And probably all your money?

Bro

As your only sibling,

and on occasion, "conscience mirror,"

I'm gonna be brutally honest with you

You need to get a lawyer, and fast

You are kidding yourself

if you think for one second

that little Sofia hasn't already hired,

the biggest, bestest, great white shark

your money could buy

You know this is all

because they have that extra gene we don't

That's why they live longer

Lawyer up And man up

You gonna eat that?

I will fucking kill for you, okay?

I don't take prisoners, I take souls

Remember that--

Remember, no matter how much you loved each other,

no matter how convincing she is when she says,

"I don't want to hurt you," bullshit

She wants to destroy you

She will--

She will plant the--

She will plant the seeds

of every little mistake in your life

And she will water them

into a felony, you got--

By the time she's done, you won't be invited

to Bill Cosby's house, okay?

Hey Hey

What are you doing? This is not a public restroom

-Excuse me -No, don't excuse--

Dude, this is the only restroom in this building

Go walk down-- Get out Get the fuck out of here

Jesus

Use some other shitter down the road

And plug that ass, it fucking stinks

We need to fight fire with death

Whoo

I'm not gonna lie to you, bro

Divorce is a full-contact sport, huh?

Oh, man

And there are people that would do anything,

and I mean anything to win

Anything

So here's the drill, all right?

Stay active in your kids' lives, right?

Pay less

File for full custody

Get a male judge that's been wronged by a woman

God knows, I know a couple of those, right?

Pay less

Whoo

Oh, then you take the kids shopping, right?

You make them spy for you, right?

Mama's little dirty secrets, huh?

What do you think? We catch Mama drinking, huh?

What do you think?

Oh, better yet Oh, she's eyeing the pool boy

That's a home run for us, brother

Woo We're gonna win this thing

And you're gonna pay less

Whoo Whoo

That's a home run for us, man

When do you want to get started?

Are you really a lawyer?

Why do you ask?

Well, it's just-- Uh, I don't see any law books

Do you know who I used to represent?

The Del Duca family back east

Do you know who they are?

They're one of the five families

Google them

Now, you need to leave emotion at the door

My job is to intimidate,

decimate and accumulate

I'll save your fortune, and get your kids

When you say decimate, what exactly does that mean?

It's Mickey, right?

You don't want to know, Mickey

The fuck?

I've been married for over 20 years

My high school sweetheart

Truth be told, it hasn't always been easy

I mean, there have been times that we struggled

Even talked divorce

But somehow, we always found ourselves back to harmony

Kept our family together

So, my first goal is to help you explore

all the possibilities to save your marriage

This could include things like counseling or therapy

Sometimes, a marriage can't be saved

And in that case,

when divorce becomes unavoidable,

mm, in those instances,

I will become your fiercest advocate

And I will also strive

to keep things from turning ugly

And also, so there's no negative impact

on your children

Monty

Come swim to Mama Come on, come on

Swim to Mama Oh, that's my boy

My swimmer

I'm $400 an hour,

and I'll need a $35k retainer

-Can I call you Mickey? -Sure

I have a question for you, Mickey

Do you think Sofia loves you enough

to fight for this marriage like you will?

That's a good question

Honestly, I don't know

Let's find out

At $35k, we better

Jesus Look at those guns

Think he's a model? Or an actor?

Maybe he's just happy being a bartender

No one who looks that good is happy just being a bartender

I mean, I was a bartender

I was happy

And then you became a wife, and now you're unhappy

Come on

We're in paradise, drinking wine,

using our husband's credit cards

Cheers

Come on

Jennifer hates me

She thinks I'm going to ruin everyone's lives

Ah, She's a kid She'll get over it

Uh, maybe, but what about Cody? You think he'll get over it?

-I don't think so -Okay, listen

You got this one life

And by the time you were 25, you already had two kids,

and you were married to this man

who was or is a workaholic

Now it's your time

You got to live a little, just for you

Yes, that's why I'm doing this, right?

-To live a little? -Yeah

Question is, at what cost?

That's what happens when you marry an older man

-I tried to tell you -I loved him

Just got married a little too young

That's all

Oh, bartender

- Two shots, please - Ugh

Thank you

I think he likes me

So, there's supposed to be a really cool party

at the Kappa Gamma Alpha house this Friday

It's supposed to be so rad

How do you even know these guys, Lace?

Uh, I met one at the beach the other day

He's like, a sophomore

Well, isn't it dangerous going to their house?

Look, Jen,

I can't keep telling everybody that you're cool

Eventually, you have to start, like, you know, showing up

Yeah, sorry I guess you're right

Do you even want a boyfriend?

I don't know

I think so

Trust me, you do

Even though my mom wants to divorce my dad,

I can't let it get me down

I-- I love them both,

and I have to stay strong and focused

There's always demons battling with the good angels

trying to take your soul away

But they won't get mine

What's up, buddy? Hey

Oh, look at this shit

Look at it, oh, he's drawing--

He thinks he's an angel or something

Well, let me see that

- Dude, give it back Please - No, I don't think so

What the hell's wrong with you, man?

-Oh, we're just messing around -Oh, that's what you call it?

-Come on, it was just a joke -Was I talking to you?

Take a walk

Yeah

Let's go

-Thanks -Don't let them push you around

Yeah, I didn't really see them coming--

Mickey

I'm your biggest fan

Wow

Could I have your autograph?

Sure

By the way, you've been served

A fucking restraining order

Did you see that?

Uh, Mom?

Mm

Mickey

Is this far enough away from my own house?

A restraining order? A damn restraining order

It wasn't me, it was my lawyer

I just want to know,

when did you stop loving me, huh, when?

I never stopped loving you

You're unavailable

You can't give me what I need

Tell me what you need

Write it down I'll make it happen

Anything not to lose you and the family

There is

someone else

There You happy?

Kids know?

No Of course not

Nobody knows, not even Caroline

Wow

Real Navy SEAL stuff, huh?

Can I at least take my kids for ice cream?

As long as you don't kidnap them

I never cheated on you

Not once

And God knows I had the chances

But I never looked at another woman

since the day I saw you

Well, here we are

Three members of a dysfunctional family

enjoying the outs of Malibu

It's great

Jen

Can I go say hi, Dad?

Sure, sweetie

But ten minutes, and I gotta get you guys home

before your mom calls the National Guard

What you listening to, kid?

You wouldn't like it

-How do you know? -Because you hate my music

Computerized beats? It's not really music, pal

You know, EDM's pretty popular right now, Dad, so

Yeah, so is McDonald's

Uh, let me listen to it

-Really? -Seriously, I wanna hear it

Okay

So, if you and Mom

do end up getting a divorce,

who are me and Jen gonna live with?

I don't know, probably your mom

I hope it's you

Why?

I kinda just feel like you understand me better

Anyways, can I take a walk until Jen comes back?

-Okay, but don't go too far -All right

Cool beats, dude

-Okay -All right

It's good dope

Yeah

There you go

- You be all right? - Cody?

Oh, shit, I have to go

-Come on, boy -You'll be all right

-That's it? -Well, it's just a temp mix,

but yeah, so far

-What do you think, man? -Well, let's see

I think that your chorus needs work

Your guitar needs to be cleaned up

And your lyrics need a rewrite

Besides that, it's okay

What he said?

Uh, then you should know what you just heard

is not a hit single

And it sounds like you guys need a hit single

It's a work in progress, Aidan

It's not perfect yet But we will find it

All right, well here's an idea

Why don't you guys bring in a rapper?

Spit some rhymes, give it some edge

The young crowd will eat that up

Hold on, hold on A rapper?

A fucking-- Mick-- Mick

A fucking rapper? Who is this fucking tool?

I'm the guy who's calling the shots

on this mediocre album of yours

I-- I didn't want to do this job

But apparently it appeals to ye old nostalgia

You guys are pissing in the wind

Nobody buys records like this anymore

And they've got you two for when their grandparents

want to reminisce

Aidan, guys like these built your label

You just give us time, and we'll get it done

Yeah, yeah, sure you will

-Fucking prick -Yeah, what he said

Jen? You in here?

Jen? Are you in there?

-Divorce sucks -Yeah

My dad was such a dick when he left

Of course, he was a dick before he left

I just can't stop crying

Actually, do you want something to, you know,

help with the pain a bit?

Like what?

What is that?

Just something to make you a little bit less sad

I do it all the time

-Really? -Yeah

Here, I'll take one with you right now

Hey, do you want a ditch?

Okay

Mickey Mickey, darling

All good? The kids?

-Kids are good, Helmut, thanks -Kids are important, darling

They are us, when we were small

I'm gonna give it to you straight,

because I love you

What the band are doing now sucks

And quite frankly,

I don't think your head is in the game

Divorce can be very tough on an artist

Look through history at all the great men

who needed their muse to accomplish wonderful things

But the muse is gone there

Voila Tragedy

Sofia isn't my muse She's my wife

Ah, po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe, darling

To-may-toe, to-mah-toe

You well know

the music business is on ventilation

Right now, you and the band are running out of air

Even if we divorce, it has nothing to do with it

People get divorced, and keep working

Yeah, but this is not a charity, darling

Now go and bring me back what we used to call in the day

a multi-platinum classic

Bring it in

I'll see you later, Helmut

Bobby Bobby, you in here?

Oops Sorry

Mick, I'll be right out, bro

I'll be right back, Angela

It's Annika

You trying to trick me?

Dude, really, it's Annika

Here's the lyrics to an old '50s song

Sofia's met someone else

Surprise I told you

I'm so psychic

No, you never said that to me

Whatever, dude

She took a restraining order out against me

And I just had a meeting with Helmut

Christ, I feel like Fredo in The Godfather

Unless I can pull a miracle out of those four guys,

I'm dead in the water

Screw that shit bucket Come live with me

Yeah, right

You know what Dad would say if he was still around?

"I'm gonna kick your ass for being a beach bum"

After that, he'd tell you to

stop feeling sorry for yourself and get on with your life, bro

That before, during, or after he was drunk?

To Pop

- Hey, Dad - Hey, Cody

-What are you doing here? -Mom dropped me off

She said she had some stuff to do

Is that cool if I stay and listen?

Sure it is

All right, guys Big Boss is here

Let's run that last one

I know how you guys are feeling right now,

but we've been in the crap before

and pulled diamonds out of our asses

We can do it again, boys

You're right, Mickey

We got this shit We got it

Any tips?

They need a good beat

That's where it's at

Hey, Dad You got a minute?

Sure

Record everything

Burps, farts, their tune-ups,

doodles between takes, everything

If they find the sound, I don't want to miss it

Okay, you got it, boss

All right, guys Here we go We're gonna roll on this one

Is everything okay?

I mean, as okay as things can be?

Do you think I'm strange?

Like, different than other kids?

Strange? No

Different? Yeah

But that's what makes you so special

You're unique I love that about you

Is something bothering you?

There's something that I want to tell you

But I don't even know where to get started

Boss, you gotta hear this

Can you hold that thought for just a minute, kiddo?

Sure, Dad

-Jennifer -Hi, Brian

What's going on? It's not your practice day

So? Can you fit me in?

Um

-sure -Thank you

You're the best

-Are you okay? -Oh, yeah

-So good Super-duper -Good

Like flying high, but not too high

- Not into the sky - Just perfect

-How are you? -Hey, I'm good

-Just happy to-- -You look good

-Thank you -Mmm

-So do you -Thank you

Just, um, you know, I'm happy to see you

I am happy, too

And to get in some extra practice

Extra practice Yes

That is a great idea Wow

What a great head on your shoulders

Why don't you go get Brando saddled up,

and, uh, I'll join you in the ring

-Okay Sounds good -All right

All right, I'll see you there

So good All right

Yeah, I'll see ya

-Okay -Over there

In the ring Huh

Look, everybody

Cody Ferrera is a faggot

He's a faggot And he's in love with Eric

Cody Ferrera's a faggot

-Cody Ferrera's a faggot -Hey, give it back

What are you gonna do about it?

Come on, dude, just give it back

You love him

Don't you, faggot? Don't you, faggot?

Ferrera Ferrera

Ferrera

Boys will be boys, Mr Ferrera

But what concerns me? Cody used a weapon

Oh, come on I wouldn't call it a weapon

He used his phone to strike another student in the face

What would you call that?

Well, back East, we might say it's the right call

Not funny, Mr Ferrera

Okay, so what's next?

Fortunately, Kevin's family isn't pressing charges

Charges?

That kid's got 60 pounds on Cody

And considering Cody has no prior offenses,

we won't expel him

But I feel a one-week suspension is appropriate

A week, really?

That's it? A week's suspension?

Can I go now?

Mr Ferrera

Cody's never acted out before

Is everything okay at home?

-Just the usual family stuff -I see

And may I ask, where is Mrs Ferrera?

-What do you mean? -Well

we tried to reach her

but she never picked up

Mom

Jennifer

Jennifer

Hey, hey

Hey Hey

Hey Hang in there

Baby, it's Mom Come on

It's Mom Hey

Call an ambulance

Baby

It's Mom

Jenny

-Dad, I'm fine -How is she, doc?

She's suffered a mild concussion

I fell off Brando

She lost focus

Wait, you were at the stables?

-He got into a fight -Did somebody hurt you?

Principal Kott said she called you,

but you never picked up

My phone died And?

Can I still ride my horse?

Not for a week or so

But I have a competition coming up

You have to follow doctor's orders, Jen

It's Jennifer, and I don't want you

as my trainer anymore

Jennifer Hey

Jennifer, what's going on?

Jennifer, I need to get back to my other patients

Hey, why is your hand on my mom?

Son of a bitch

I get it now You're screwing the stable boy

It's horse trainer, Mr Ferrera

Oh, Jesus

God

-Jennifer -You stay here

Your boyfriend needs you

Fucking pussy

-I hate them all -I'm on your side

I'm always on your side

I hate her

I hate her

Hate to tell you this, but consensual sex

with another man's wife is not a crime

Assault, however, that's a crime

You're lucky he didn't press charges

He's lucky he's still breathing

You're not gonna be much of a father behind bars, Mickey

What was I supposed to do?

Nothing Not a thing

No more assaults, no more DUIs,

no more angry outbursts with Sofia

Oh, what?

So I should just roll over and take it?

Next you'll be telling me Brian can sleep in my bed

and make my kids pancakes

I'm sorry

These are strange times we're living in

You think?

Unless there is evidence of child or drug abuse,

your wife is in the driver's seat

Maybe you should take an anger management class

Are you serious?

A stable boy's screwing my wife, and I need anger management?

I can recommend somebody very special

You're out of your fucking mind

-Doing great -Like this?

Yeah, just stay in the middle of the board

Doing great, you're natural

Hey, bro Stable boy?

Damn, what a bitch

You're lucky I wasn't there

I would have fed that kid a horseshit sandwich

My lawyer wants me to take anger management classes

Well, you've always had something of a temper

How am I doing? Can I get to the water soon?

Oh, you're doing great

Down on your belly

-Belly? -Yeah, paddle

Yeah, boy Keep paddling

Stay in the middle

Water's got to know your moves

Recognize you as part of the surf family

Why am I the bad guy?

I won't get my kids or the house

unless there's evidence of child or drug abuse

Drug abuse? Right there

Uh-uh No way, Bobby I'm not doing that

Besides, she doesn't even take aspirin

You only have to fool the cops once

Or you can just look the other way

while that stable boy's banging your wife

in that big, sexy bed of yours, bro

Keep going, bro Keep paddling

Doing great Keep paddling

I can't do this

- Hey, Dad - Hey, Cody

What are you doing?

I was just-- I'm-- I'm looking for my sunglasses

I thought I might have left them here in Mom's car

Okay

I don't think you're 100 feet away from the house,

but I won't say anything

All right, so

How-- how are you enjoying your suspension?

I don't even see how teachers think this is a punishment

So where's your sis?

Oh, wait, she's at practice

Dad, you don't know?

She's thinking about quitting

She can't quit because of that tool, Brian

Dad, you rocked his shit

All right, listen

I better creep out of here, okay?

Sure

You fucked my wife, right?

You banged my wife?

Stable boy, you banged my wife?

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

There is

someone else

Why is your hand on my mom?

Bang, bang

Bang, bang, bang, bang

Geez

I need a shrink I definitely need a shrink

You know what a good long draw of tobacco

does for the mind?

It does more than all the coke, shrooms,

weed, crack and LSD could ever do

It releases

the royal endorphins in the cranium

Excuse me, what's a royal endorphin?

Royal endorphins are like the queen bee of endorphins

They rule the mind and dictate nothing

but good vibes to the body

Well, I don't feel them, and I still hate myself

You still hate yourself?

Mickey, Mickey, Mickey, what is hate?

Is hate not just love

dressed in a black suit?

Huh, guys?

Hate means never having to say, "I love you"

Ooh, I like that

Jesus, what kind of man thinks of

planting drugs in his wife's car?

You have drugs?

No, I could destroy my kids' lives just for revenge

What the hell does that make me, a piece of shit?

Yeah, it would appear you are

But you have to flush the old Mickey away

Yeah Rediscover the man who made

some of the best goddamn songs I ever smoked a spleef to

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

lovers and friends,

the next time I see you,

I want you

to bring your inner animal

You with me?

Breathe deep

Exhale, and I love you all

Oh, you're the kid

who cracked that douche bag, Kevin

-I guess -That shit's crazy, man

Nice work, bro

Oh, hey, Eric

Want to hear some beats?

Why would I want to do that?

-Well, I just thought-- -Look,

I heard about your drawings, man

Not cool

People think I'm gay They think we're lovers

-Are we lovers? -No

Not at all

Okay

Let's bounce

That kid's such a loser

Weirdo

Okay, can I hear something?

Sure What do you want to hear, man?

Whatever you feel excites you the most,

as long as it's great

Thank you, darlings

Can we have the room?

No The boys stay

Fine

What is this, Mickey?

Am I paying hundreds of thousands of dollars

for whatever this is?

He calls it a work in progress

You want me to stop calling you darling, darling?

These boys are working their asses off for you

You have three weeks to deliver me an album

You're fucking kidding, right?

We're in the middle of writing songs

Trying to find a sound that works

Then I suggest you find it quickly

Three weeks to blow my mind, from shutting it all down

Bye-bye, darlings

I told you to bring a rapper in

You know, there was a very sexy lady

hanging around outside

She kindly gave me her number,

if, uh, I gave you this

Hope it's not bad news, Mickey

Divorce papers

Fuck

Yeah, well, first it was a restraining order,

then she's sleeping with Stable Boy,

now it's divorce papers

It's the next logical step, Mickey

She did ask you for a divorce

This is just tangible proof of that

Okay, I found out who her lawyer is

He's a pirate named Bill Stabile

So, he's asked the court for a lean

on your bank accounts, property holdings, tax records

So I suggest you get your finances in order

before he gets his hands on 'em

Should also consider your lifestyle

and your sleeping arrangements, okay?

I mean, staying in a suite at a five-star hotel

doesn't look good right now

I've worked my whole life to get where I am,

and I can't stay in a damn hotel, why?

Because it makes me look what, indulgent?

She's right

Whoever she is

Okay

Now that the pennies are being counted,

you'll have to start making support payments

I ran some preliminary numbers,

and the figure is going to be

somewhere in the region of about $10,000 a month

What? Ten grand a month?

Listen to me, Mickey

In light of the divorce papers, we need to give a judge

every opportunity to start looking at you

in a favorable light

A favorable light?

Now I need to be a favorable light

Anybody know what that looks like?

To a favorable light

How much longer, Mr F?

Keep going, kid You're doing great

Gotta master the calm before the song

Right?

You don't want those waves eating you up, do you?

-No, sir -All right, attaboy

I went by your place

Some surfer dude said you moved in here

Yeah, Thomas' mom wanted more one-on-one

With the kid

She very kindly offered me a room here

at this palace while they're in Hawaii

Aloha

So when do I get another one-on-one lesson, Bobby?

Hey, I'm cooking here

Can you believe this? I'm not a machine

Good times need good carbs

Tennis

Hey, what about me, Mr Ferrera?

Cody Ferrara's a faggot

Cody Ferrara's a faggot

Are we lovers?

Somebody fucking help me

Help me

What the fuck with me

I was in

Well, I guess divorce papers are logical

Now you sound like my lawyer, dude

She says I have to start paying ten grand a month's support

That's totally outrageous

Yeah, no shit

Need a place to camp till this all blows over?

Something like that

-All right -What's so funny?

Pop's golden boy finally needs a little help

from his little brother

I'm playing Mi casa, su casa

Bobby, this isn't your fucking house

Oh, yeah

-Shit -Now what? What's that?

It's Sof

-Cody's run off -What?

Shit

-Hey, I'll go with you -No, you stay here

In this stranger's house

This is as far as I can go

Mickey, this is about our son

Please Just come inside

We don't know where he went

He left his phone

Don't worry, honey I will find him

Looks like you caught something

Not yet

You got your mom and sister all worried about you

It's quite a statement, leaving your phone at home

Tearing up all your drawings

-You were inside the house? -Yeah

Your mom doesn't care about that stuff right now

The most important thing to her is you and Jen

Is that why she's fucking Brian?

Don't talk about your mother that way

I'm sorry

I'm just so pissed at her

It's, like, everything was fine

And then everything changes overnight

And it's all this shit with you, and I just-- I don't know--

This is life, son

People do things for a million reasons

It's just human nature

What does that mean?

Well, I'm no Greek philosopher, but--

you can't expect people to do

what you want them to do all the time

Everybody has feelings and emotions,

that sometimes they can't control

Does that make any sense to you?

Can I ask you a question?

Anytime

Do you think there's something wrong with me?

Of course not

Then why do I have all these thoughts in my head?

Look, you went through some troubled times

for whatever reason, and came through it

because you chose to

That's strength of character

We all have dark moments in our lives

that make or break us

What's going on?

Well there's this kid at school

The one from the drawings?

I started to like him a lot

It's stupid

What are you saying, son?

I think--

I think--

-I think I might be-- -What?

-What? What's going on? -I think I might be gay

I love you

That must have been really hard to tell your old man this

I don't know if I am

Or if I'm not

I don't know, but that's okay, right, Dad?

Of course it's okay

-It's okay, right? -Yes, it's okay

I had this friend in high school

He was a year older than me

Real good looking dude Great football player

All the girls liked him

We were both big Rolling Stones fans

Every time they released an album,

I would buy it and we'd hang out at mine or his

I even taught him how to play guitar

But I was a little confused, to be honest

I mean, I didn't know if I was attracted to him

because he was so popular,

or just because I liked him

Anyway, he moved away I started dating girls

But we all have our moments

Sometimes they're fleeting

And some last a lifetime

Have you told your mom?

No

I figured I'd tell you first

That's why I'm here

I remember you used to take me here all the time as a kid

So what's next?

I don't know

You think there's someone I should talk to?

Like a shrink?

Hell no Stay away from those guys

Trust me, I'm speaking from experience

But you know what?

I think I know exactly who we need to talk to

What the fuck?

Welcome

Listen, sweetie, you've got one hell of a father right there

to embrace your deepest feelings

I wish I had that kind of dad when I was growing up

Why? W-- what happened to you?

Well, I'm from Texas,

and my daddy was straight out of Dallas

JR type

Before your time

Anywho, he was a real brute of a man

I didn't have the balls to tell him how I felt inside

But, I guess getting caught

wearing Mama's Sunday heels may have let the cat out

So how'd you know?

Like, how'd you know you were gay?

I didn't

There's no playbook, sweetie

Not for that kind of inner turmoil

You just gotta go with the flow until you know

And trust me, you will know

And if you're not,

well, then you can take this moment

and use it to help someone down the line

Who doesn't have anyone to talk to

Are you happy?

That is probably one of the best questions

anyone's ever asked of the Magi in a long time

But the answer is yes,

because I've lived the alternative

Life is a moment, young man

Don't you dare be scared to live it on your own terms

You hear me?

Yeah

What's that?

Every time I have a moment of darkness,

I hold this up and I imagine I've unlocked my heart

and let the darkness fly

Stay in the sunshine, Cody

That's where you belong

Spread the love

Spread the love

So what's next?

I don't know We wait

Should we get him a hooker?

No, we're not getting him a hooker

-How about you? -What about me?

You need to open up the valves, bro

You're all seized up

What are you suggesting?

I got the perfect place for that

Come on

I can't believe I let you bring me here

What if Sof's lawyer hired a PI to follow me?

Well, if he's in here,

he'll have long forgotten you exist by now

-Wow -Hello, Bobby

- What a time - Oh, wow

- Wow My-- Ramona - How are you?

I'm good How are you?

I'm good, baby How are you?

Yeah I've been working on my career

Oh, yeah?

Hey, meet my big brother, Mickey

He's a big-time famous record producer

-Sit down -Oh, really?

- Oh, yeah - You're cute

-Is this a wig? -No, it's not a wig

You want a dance, honey?

You're the Antichrist

Nah, I'm just a loving, caring brother

Hello?

Uncle Bobby, have you seen Dad?

Hello?

Uncle Bobby, are you in here?

Fuck

I think maybe Dad took

Lucy the Magi's "spread the love"

a little too literal

Dad?

Dad

That was disgusting

Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to unsee that?

How are we supposed to unsee that?

Look, I'm sorry I made a big mistake

A big mistake? Yeah, it was a big mistake

Are you kidding?

While you're in there having an orgy

in Uncle Bobby's trailer,

Mom's off buying Brian a Porsche,

and I'm over here losing my fucking mind

- Jennifer - No, don't-- Don't touch me

You are disgusting to me right now

You disgust me Do you hear that?

Your mom bought Brian a new Porsche?

Yeah, she bought Brian a Porsche

And take this, she's not even throwing Jen a birthday party

As if Jen even gives a shit about a birthday party

Do you even give a shit?

Nice dye job, Sofia Ferrera,

but I don't believe the carpet matches the drapes

Oh, and the facelift, tight as a drum, eh?

You know damn well I don't have a facelift

That's what happens when you get all googly-eyed

over someone 15 years your junior at a bar

You're not supposed to be here

I'm more than 100 feet away, count it off,

just don't get hit by a bus doing it

Oh, and I heard what you bought your boyfriend

You can buy him a Porsche,

but you can't throw a birthday party for your own daughter

I never bought anybody a new Porsche

What do you want, Mickey? What do you want?

I want my family back

But I'll settle for Jennifer's birthday party

You honestly think I'd let our own daughter down?

You know me better than that

What if you started with a guitar solo?

Guitar solo?

Uh, I did something that might work

Check it out

Awesome Love it, yeah

I mean, you guys realize that no one does

flashy guitar solos anymore, right?

You ever heard of Eddie Van Halen?

-Isn't he dead? -Whoa, whoa, boss, boss

No, no, no, no, no, no

Eddie Van Halen's guitar solos will go on forever,

while you'll be a passing memory as the prick with the vape

You realize I could shut you down today, right?

Then do it I fucking dare you

Piece of shit

Come on, Bobby, you said the kids' parents

aren't back for another month

Bro, if they find out I'm using their house

to party like that, I'm fucked

Ever heard of bribery? Take Thomas out on the waves

After that, you'll be his hero

Plus, think of all the girls you can invite

to hang around this big, sexy pool in their bikinis

"Dear Jen

Please forgive me"

"Please forgive me

I love you

Mom"

- Hi Uncle Bobby - Jen

Oh, so good you're here, beautiful

Yeah, thank you for letting us have the party here

Anything for you Your my favorite niece

I'm her best friend

-Lacey -Oh, yeah, sure

Oh, your dad called from the studio

He's running late, okay? He's on his way

- Really? - Yeah

Okay, I thought he was going to miss the whole thing

No, he wouldn't miss this Come on, go dance

Mickey

Yo Hey

Look, bro

I know you're going through some heavy shit

Why don't we just call it a day?

Wait a fucking second

We're going to make a great album

Listen to me Listen to me

We are going to make a great album, all right?

Trust me, Emerson

Trust in the love

I don't know, bro

Listen to me

I gotta get this

- What's going on? - I think someone OD'd

What? Jennifer

-Cody -Dad

What happened?

My friend, she OD'd She took Molly

- Sorry - Let me keep moving, sir

Where's your Uncle Bobby?

He's at the back of the house

Bobby

What the fuck happened, Bobby?

I should have known kids bring drugs to a pool party

How'd I miss that one?

You were in charge, Bobby,

and you screwed up like always

I know

Who's in charge?

I guess I am

Because there are minors drinking alcohol

-Did you provide it? -No, officer

He just got here, bro

Doesn't matter

Put your hands behind your back

-What? -Mm-hmm

Hey, why are you taking my dad?

He didn't do anything

He didn't do anything Why are you taking him?

Dad, I'm-- I'm really sorry

It's alright, sweetie

Bobby, make sure they get home

And shut this damn shitstorm down

Yeah, yeah

Alright, you heard the man

Everybody, get out

Just when it looked like

we had all forgotten our troubles for a moment

that's when fate knocked on the door

to remind us about real life

In light of the respondent's behavior,

including a DUI and public displays of anger

And considering the respondent neglected both his parental

and custodial duties on the day in question,

I find I have no choice at this time

but to award complete and sole custody

of the children to the petitioner

If the respondent wants to be a parent again

in his children's lives,

he will have to enroll in anger management counseling

And after attending the anger management counseling,

the court will decide whether or not

you are to see your children again

See my kids again? What does that mean?

It means, Mr Ferrera,

that you are not to go within 100 feet

of your children without supervision

And, that you shall not have any contact with them

until the court has decided

that they can be safe in your company

This case is dismissed

A hundred feet from my kids I hope you're happy

Get your hands off me

Mickey Sit down, sit down

I'm fine

I just spoke to the judge

You are so lucky that she's not going to

hold you in contempt of court

-Are you okay? -Am I okay?

I can't see my kids unless it's supervised

Meanwhile, I'm paying my wife $10k a month

so she can buy her boyfriend a new car

You can see your kids, Mickey

You just have to follow the court's rules

Could my life get any worse?

What do I do now?

I think you know

Oh, great

He wants me to get in touch with my inner animal

How long do I have to do this?

Until your brain juice settles

and your melon is calm

You all brought your inner animals

I see that I appreciate that

Now, Angus, Panda, what's your problem?

Sometimes I dread going home

Why? Is your apartment too small?

No, going home to my parents, in Washington State

They hate me

Because I'm an artist?

They're bankers

I like bankers

Can I stop now? My melon's tired

Sit

Where are you going, Angus?

Sometimes I think about killing them

and using their blood

-to paint my canvas -Hmm

Jesus Christ

I'm kidding They're already dead

My brother killed them

This is nuts

Stoned hippies, serial killers

God knows why she's here

I like cigars

I'm here because I tried to castrate someone

Of course, I didn't succeed

We're friends now

He asked me out on a date

That's it I'm done

Mickey

This is only the first step

Yeah, well, zoom me the rest

Oh, Mickey

Yeah?

You haven't been drinking, right?

No, Kristen

And you haven't beaten up anyone lately, have you?

I want my family back

Damn it Piece of shit

Not today

Look, Jonathan thinks

you've made just a great breakthrough

Uh, you know, just by talking with such honesty

it's a really good start, Mickey

Who the fuck is Jonathan?

Your shrink

Oh you mean the guy made me look like a zebra?

I'll see you at the mediation

Don't be late

Oh, fuck

What's up, Frosty?

I let you down

I should have kept my eye on things

I didn't, and I screwed up

I'm really sorry, man

Where the hell did you get a suit?

Turns out one of my students' husbands is about the same size

I gotta return it before he gets back from New York

And it didn't come with shoes

Thanks for being here, my brother

]

Seth, what's up?

Shit

I'll be right there And Seth, don't let him leave

I got an emergency

I need you to head over to the mediation

And do what?

Stall them

Aww, fuck

Sofia Sofia

Sofia

Everyone's a fool at some time in their lives, honey

Let's go

Sofia

Sofia

What's going on, guys?

Emerson just left the band

That's what's going on, buddy

What? Why?

It's been a long time coming, bro

Come on, brother Not today

This is just not working for me anymore

We're washed up, man

There goes 20 years, man

Look, my kid made these beats You gotta listen to them

We can blend these with your sound and make this work

-I'm telling you -Mick, Mick, Mick

It's just a bunch of noise, bro

It's not about the sound or the beats

We just lost the juice

Sorry, boss We're done

Fuck

Hey, Mickey

For what it's worth, I like the beats

Lord Byron was considered to be the preeminent romantic poet

who lived a life of debauchery and sexual ambiguity

-So what do you think about it? -Hey, butt boy

How's your sexual ambiguity?

-Alex laughs] -I heard you and Eric broke up

You gonna write a poem about it?

Aw

Did-- did you ever try to kill yourself

because of the boy you love?

Whoa

Fuck this

Fuck

And then, sometimes the demons win

Fuck

And you're left with one choice

Fall into the abyss

There's a kid on the roof

It's not looking good for your client, Kristen

- Oh - Bobby?

Hey Sof What's up?

Where's Mickey?

And where are your shoes?

Shoes interrupt our connection to the earth

Mick's, uh, had a bit of an emergency

It's not a big deal He'll be here in a minute

I'm just gonna sit in for him

So, uh, you're the beach bum, right?

You've been talking to your wife, right?

Come on, let's do this

Cody Cody

You happy?

Put your damn phone away

Cody, I'm coming up there

Don't try and stop me

I'm sorry, Mr Ferrera, you're not allowed

Going up on the roof is against school rules

Fuck your rules That's my son up there

Uh, Mrs Ferrera would like all the artwork

and the vacation home in Amsterdam

Are you serious, bro?

My brother built that houseboat with his own hands

Your Honor, he built an entire houseboat with his bare hands

-Wow -Bro, you don't have to get

all literal about it, all right?

He drew the plans

I never asked for the houseboat

Yeah, it's on the list of properties

You drafted this yourself, Sofia

I wasn't thinking straight

Yeah, you got that right, Sof

Sofia

Wait, wait Where do you think you're going?

Don't, Bobby

Everything that happened here, I didn't mean for any of this

-Then why did you do it? -Fear

I did everything out of fear

-Fear? -Yeah

Including the affair?

He saw me

He noticed when I got my hair done

He could tell when I was wearing perfume

We would sit down and have a meal together

When is the last time I had a meal with your brother, huh?

He's busy locked in his studio for 15 hours a day

You think I give a shit?

And he comes home with fancy bags from his trips for me

Big fucking deal

He's married to his work

He does it for you

Yeah?

Well, it sure is working, isn't it?

I met him

when he was different

I was different

I'm a human being

I need my husband back

I miss my husband

I miss Mick

What's that?

I gotta go

Where are you going?

Hey, buddy, it's dad I'm right here

I'm coming closer, okay?

Do you want to step down from there?

We'll talk about whatever it is that's bothering you

You can't fix it

You tried, Dad, but I just don't fit in

I never will

Who said you had to fit in?

You know how many people go through life

never discovering what's really going on inside them?

I don't care about other people

I just don't want to be made fun of anymore

People will be cruel when they don't understand something

It's not your fault It's their weakness, not yours

I hate people

Cody

Cody

Cody

- Mom? - Cody

Mom?

Mom

Cody, please don't do this

Please don't do this

Cody

Look at all that love around you

It's like that drawing of yours,

the one of the boy in the sky

and the angels fighting over him to protect him

You understood that?

Of course I did

I'm your dad

You got so much going for you

You know what?

-Listen to this -No

Listen to this

Please Cody please

These are your beats

You came up with them

I played them for the band and they loved them

And I'm going to use them in a song

And I think it's going to be a hit

But more importantly, you took your pain

and you put it into something positive

That's what artists do

That's what you do

You said it was just noise

Yeah, well, I was wrong

And I'm going to use them

But I can't do it without your help

So what do you say?

Want to help save your old man's career?

I got you, I got you

I can't really breathe

Yes, you can

No

He's some guy, that brother of mine

Hey

I don't want Jennifer quitting something she loves so much

She's not going to quit riding

She's learned a lot from you recently

About love

We all have

You can have it all, Sof

I don't want anything

All I want is to see my kids and to be there for them

I felt I was losing you

That we were losing each other And I wanted to hurt you

Because you haven't been there for me

You wanted to hurt me for working

So you had an affair?

Yes No, I mean--

I missed the way you would look at me

I was afraid that we were drifting apart

I felt unwanted

Yes, I had an affair

It was a mistake

that I thought would fix everything

Of course, I was wrong

I lied to myself

And I lied to you

And you have every right to hate me for that

But when I saw you with Cody today,

I realized what I'd lost

I should be the one to go

You stay here with the kids

No more lawyers

No more mediators

No more pain

Sof?

There's the look

You want to take the kids for something to eat?

Emerson

Mick, I just wrote a monster, bro

And you did it

You gave me the line, man

Trust in--

You just hung up on him

You really bought him a Porsche?

No, I just cosigned

I had to stop him suing you for breaking his nose

You tell anybody, you'd lose a friend

Why'd you do that?

If I didn't, I'd always wonder

Huh Makes sense

Anyone ever I told you that body of yours was built for surfing?

As you can see, we're a family again

The band got better with a little help from me

My sister went back to riding her horse

and Uncle Bobby, well

he stayed the exact same, which is cool

And as for Dad, he's one of a kind

Yeah, he's definitely one of a kind
