06x04 - Black Out

[bunniefuu]

MONTY!: ♪ Ah ah ah ♪

♪ It's gonna be a good day ♪

CHORUS: ♪ Good day ♪

♪ Life's still hard,
but I'm doing just fine ♪

- ♪ It's gonna be a good day... ♪
- Spencer...

- Spencer...
- Hmm?

Spencer?

- Spencer!
- Hmm?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Good morning, sweetie.

I wanted to be the first one
to wish you a happy birthday.

Mm-hmm. Thank you.

You definitely got my heart racing.

Oh, it gets better.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

sh**t. OK.

Man, after last night, I'm gonna
be tapping into reserves, but OK.

- Muffins.
- Yeah.

I got the recipe from your mom

because I know how much you love them.

I just couldn't think of a
more perfect way to wake you up.

I can think of one.

Oh, did you have something else in mind?

No, not after all
that talk about my mom.

Thank you. These are great.

Yeah. Well, eat up because after hearing

what the boys have planned for you,

you are gonna need
something in your stomach.

OK. Look. How about

I skip the bar hop

and you and I can hang
out, just the two of us?

You know, normally,
I would jump on that,

but not on your 21st,

although I am gonna need to
steal you away at some point

so that I can give you your gift.

Baby, I'm happy you just being there.

You ain't got to give me nothing.

- What is it?
- [SNICKERS]

Let's just say, it's really special,

and I think you're gonna love it.

OK.

Anyway, I got to get home,

but I will meet up with you later.

- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.

Bye, baby.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

That's it right there.

I'm guessing Olivia corn muffins

- didn't turn out so good.
- I mean, they weren't bad,

- just different, you know...
- Mm.

But you're the champ-champ, Mom.

That's sweet.

Do you know what my
secret ingredient is?

Love?

Butter and lots of it.

As soon as Olivia asked me if
she could substitute soy milk,

I knew I better make a backup batch.

Well, I'm glad you did.

Just don't tell Olivia.

So what do you have planned for today?

Nothing crazy,

probably hitting a few bars,

end the night at Layla's lounge,

- and, yes, D, she said you can come.
- Oh, yeah, she did.

Yo, how many plus-ones do I get?

- Because you know I need at least 3.
- None.

None. She already had
enough drama at that place.

She don't need to be worrying about you.

Only person who need to
be worrying is Jordan.

You know I love me some Layla.

GRACE: If you boys are done,

I would like to make a birthday toast.

- Pour it up.
- [LAUGHS]

- Uh-uh.
- No? OK.

Since it's your 21st birthday,

I thought we should share
your first drink together.

- Come on, Ma. You know he done had...
- Your first drink, mm-hmm?

- Yep, first... Ever.
- First.

- Sure smells strong.
- Hee hee hee!

- Well, happy birthday, baby.
- Thank you, Mama.

To a night that you will never forget.

♪ Hey, I'm the birthday boy ♪

I will take your chip, though.

- I'm so sorry.
- I'm gonna take that.

OK. White people!

Husband!

[CHEERING]

Aah!

Aaah!

[DOG PANTING]

Mm...

[INHALES]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, OK, OK, OK.

OK. All right.

[SOFTLY] Where the hell am I?

- Wade Waters?
- [TOILET FLUSHES]

Oh...

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

- Hey, what's up, man? What up, J?
- Wow.

That's all you're gonna say?

Uh...

- good morning.
- Huh.

Jeez.

- Where do you think you're going?
- I'm sorry I'm late, OK?

I had a rough night. It
will not happen again.

It wont happen now.

Look. You won't be any good to yourself

or this team if you stay here.

Go home, Spence. Sleep it off.

Coach, I don't want
to miss practice, OK?

I am the captain of this team,
and I need to be out there.

Now, I know I look
bad, but I'm f-f-fine.

I can handle this.

You're about to throw up.

WADE: Adams, yo,
you're not gonna believe

what happened last night.

- I don't care.
- No. Trust me. You want to hear this.

[CHUCKLES] "Trust me."

I don't, and unless
it affects this team,

I do not care what happens to you today,

tomorrow, quite frankly,
the rest of my life.

I'm not your friend. I'm your coach.

Are you, Coach?

Pretty sure your title
was offensive assistant.

I took a big chance bringing you here.

Don't make me regret it.

Yeah. I'll try not to.

[DOOR CLOSES]

How was the rest of your night?

Fine. Yeah.

And how's Spencer feeling today?

- Hmm.
- Wow.

You really just have
such a way with words,

really happy that I asked you
to help me out with Dad's book.

I don't know, OK? I didn't really...

didn't really talk to him.

He didn't look too good at
practice, so Coach sent him home.

Well, that explains his text...

"tired, talk later, sleep, love."

You know, maybe I shouldn't ask
for his help with the book, either.

So what do you need from me?

A better attitude, OK, for one,

and I thought I'd be nice and
include you in the writing process.

Ha ha! OK.

So you're stuck.

You're stuck because
your stories are lame,

and you need my help
because mine are awesome.

I said a better attitude...

- And, yes, I was hoping
- Thank you.

- that you had some cool stories,
- Thank you.

and, yes, I'm a little stuck,
OK, but it can be two things.

Hey, I'm here for
you. Let's dig you out.

Thank you.

Good morning, Jordan.

- Ah.
- I didn't know you were coming, but,

then again, how would I?
It's not like you told me

or came up to say, "good morning,"

or answered my texts.

Well, I texted you and let
you know I got home safe.

No. I asked if you did,
and you liked my text,

and you know how much I hate that.

Right. I just assumed that
you were busy, like always...

- Right.
- Um, and, uh,

I didn't want to waste
your time with a text.

Right, because reading the word "yes"

would've taken up so much of my time,

but... you know what? You're right.

I'm very busy, so busy, in fact,

I don't even have time
to finish this sen...

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

That was rude.

You do realize that that's the woman

that you're planning on marrying, right?

- You might want to grow up.
- And you might want to shut up.

Do you want my help
with the book or not?

- [EXHALES]
- Ha!

What? Was... was I that bad?

Do you not remember moonwalking

- across the bar with no shirt on?
- That better not be true,

and if it is, I'm gonna k*ll
you for letting me do it.

- Good morning, Spencer.
- Hey, Mama.

I didn't know you were coming over.

- Was your birthday fun?
- Yeah.

Who all was there?

Um...

You know, the usual... Coop, Liv,

Dillon, you.

- Oh.
- No, not you.

You weren't there, right?

Were you there?

- Are you OK?
- Look. Last night is kind of a blur,

but, promise, everybody had a good time.

I'm glad you had fun.

Did something bad happen last night?

Because I feel like something
bad happened last night.

- Was Liv upset?
- Bro, it was a club full of fine ladies.

I was not about to waste my
time talking to your girl,

but she wouldn't shut
up about your gift.

Olivia's gift.

- What was it?
- I don't know.

She wanted you to show it
to me, but you wouldn't.

- Why not?
- I don't know, man. Ask the drunk you.

I got to talk to Coop.
All right. All right.

Shut up.

It's not a big deal. Everybody
was drinking last night.

- It was a party.
- Did everybody black out?

Because I can barely
remember anything, OK?

All I know is, Jordan's pissed at me,

my side hurts, my head hurts,

and I woke up at Wade Waters' place.

You woke up with Wade Waters,

- like, in bed with him?
- No, fool,

on his couch alone.

Was he in the kitchen making pancakes?

Everybody got jokes.

Look. That's not even
the worst part, OK?

What's worse than
sleeping over with a dude

who almost got you and
your friends k*lled?

Olivia got me a birthday gift.

How's that bad?

Don't tell me you lost it.

I don't know.

First, I'd have to remember what it was.

Uh! OK.

- That is worse.
- So you don't remember what it was.

No, but if you like
it, it's from me, too.

You're not helping. You're not helping.

I can't ask Jordan
because he's pissed at me,

and now I got to avoid
Olivia until I figure it out.

Look. Let's just retrace your steps, OK?

It'll all come back to you.

What is the last place you
remember not remembering?

No way. No. It's not going in.

Dad didn't want it on your record,
so he doesn't want it in his book.

Not all heroes wear capes.

I mean, of them swap out the kid's
pee so they can play football.

That story shouldn't leave this house.

- It's a bad look for both of you.
- Oh, fine, fine.

Do you remember the first
time we saw Dad on TV?

We were, like, 5 or 6.

- It was pretty surreal.
- Yeah. We watched him on the same TV

that showed us our cartoons.

We cheered every single
time he got the ball.

- And you cried every time he got tackled.
- Hey,

that's not true.

I mean, look, look. Dad was never
OK with anyone messing with me,

so why would I be OK with
anyone messing with him?

I mean, me and him, we
had each other's backs.

I remember this time

that he helped me stand
up to a bully in the park.

Oh, finally, a story
not involving your urine.

All right. This kid was making fun of me

because I was scared to
go down the giant slide.

Wait. What park? I don't
remember a giant slide.

Doesn't really matter because it's
not your story to tell. Anyways,

this slide was massive, Olivia.

I mean, like, you could see
the entire city from the top.

From a slide at a child's park?

Yes. It was the biggest
slide I've ever seen.

- Show me.
- I thought you'd never ask.

- Oh, we're going now?
- Let's go.

Come on.

[TYPING]

Ryan's not in today if
you're here for Fight Club.

Ha! I am not supposed
to talk about Fight Club.

I'm actually here because I just...

I wanted to apologize for last night.

The only person who needs
to apologize to me is Jordan.

- Why? What'd he do?
- Everything.

Nothing. He's just
acting like a big baby,

or maybe I am.

Am I? Do I sound like one now?

Sound a little confused, or maybe I am.

No. Ha! No, no. I...

you're probably right. Ever since
I started weaning off my meds,

my emotions have just
been all over the place.

Why are you weaning off your meds?

I'm tired of feeling numb,

and I needed it the last couple years,

but things are good now,

you know, with the
engagement and this club.

I just want to feel it

- and see things clearly.
- Mm, bareback reality.

Ew, and no. I'm just weaning.

I'm not going cold turkey.

I was skeptical when
Ryan brought it up first,

but the other day, I
said hi to someone's dog,

and I cried when it was
wagging its little tail,

and it was good tears, you know?

- I liked that feeling.
- Listen,

there's nothing wrong with a good cry.

I think Ryan is helping us both out.

Yeah.

MAN: ♪ Little run down,
just a couple of doubts... ♪

COOP: So... Think this is where

you and Wade first locked eyes?

Keep talking. See what
happens. Move, move. Excuse me.

Hey, I think I might have
lost something here yesterday,

something special that
would've meant a lot of me

that I would have forever.

- Have you seen it or not?
- Stop.

- I'll get the lost-and-found box.
- Thank you.

You know what?

I got a good feeling about this.

Spencer James, Mr. Heisman.

- Yeah!
- Spencer James!

What's up? Hey!

From the man at the end of the bar.

Spencer James!

Thank you, my brother.

- Here you go.
- Mm...

Only 16 more to go, my friend.

- Hey, how you holding up?
- Olivia!

Hi. Cheers.

You know, I don't know
if I'm gonna make it

to 21 sh*ts because I am already seeing

- two of your fine ass.
- Oh, wow. OK.

Well, maybe that next
sh*t counts as two, yeah?

Yeah? Either way, you're
about to get a break.

I'm gonna go get your gift.

Oh, ha! Oh, yeah?

You know I really
appreciate you being here

because I know this
isn't exactly your scene.

No. I'm exactly where I want to be...

with you on your birthday.

Hey, bartender, bartender,
turn it up, will you?

Coastal College just made a strong move

towards winning a second
consecutive championship

by replacing injured
quarterback Dusty Copeland

with former Heisman
hopeful Wade Waters...

Wait. Wade's on Coastal?
When did that happen?

I don't know. Asher's
got to be pissed, though.

And speaking of Heisman hopefuls...

- Spencer James.
- ALL: Yes!

Across town at GAU,
there's still a lot of talk,

but it's no longer about Spencer James.

It's about his quarterback Jordan Baker.

Hey there, Little J.

Spencer James.

Baker's been on fire this season,

leading the undefeated
Condors to several blowouts,

so that means two Heisman
hopefuls on one team.

This could be interesting.

I need a sh*t. Who else needs a sh*t?

ALL: Yeah!

- [BARKING]
- Whoo!

MAN: ♪ I'm undefeated ♪

[MARTIN BAK & JACOB DIAB'S
"UNDEFEATED" PLAYING]

So any chance Liv gave you a retainer,

a hockey puck, or a breast pump?

- Beep beep.
- Hey, hey, man, it's not here.

Where'd you go to next?

We hit a bunch of bars
in the neighborhood.

How many?

Enough to get this many sh*ts.

Wow. No wonder you
don't remember nothing.

Whatever. Come on. Let's get to it.

WADE: So what is this
now, you're my tutor?

Our next game is in 5 days.

I may nor be your coach, but Montes is,

and he wants me to
bring you up to speed.

Look. I don't like this, either,

but we're not leaving
here until I'm convinced

that you know this stuff, all right?

Now, running trips nessa
x against a two-high look,

what's your read progression?

You're serious? It's a basic play.

Top down, safety to outside backer.

OK, and if the outside backer

widens to the flat,
what's you next option?

Spot route on the curl window.

Look, man. I know the plays, OK?

Let's go outside, and I can show you,

plus I have some things
that will spice it up a bit.

No, no. See, this only works

if you learn our system
like everyone else.

We do not need things spiced up.

You're up against a 40 front.

How are you setting your protection?

Doesn't really matter now, does it?

Your protection schemes suck.

It's no wonder Copeland
tore his Achilles'.

They're practically
designed to get him hurt.

Well, you are the expert on that, huh?

Hey, how's Coach Garrett doing?

You SWAT any houses lately?

I know that's kind of your thing.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Look, man.

I'm sorry.

Look, I was a bad guy then. It
was petty, vindictive, stupid.

No one hates me for what
I did more than I do.

Oh, Wade, I seriously doubt that.

Look, man. I made a mistake,

and I know I pushed things way too far,

but I'm not the same guy I was.

Good...

Because being stupid won't help
you learn our system any faster.

Since the first one was so basic,
tell me your read progression

- on quads nessa x.
- Um...

Is that you, Jordan?

All I can see is your feet
dangling from the clouds.

I swear, it used to be bigger.

Ha! It must have taken Dad

every ounce of strength not to laugh.

- Wait. Was Dad the bully?
- No,

OK, because, unlike my
sister, Dad was supportive.

He always used to say,

"if you don't face your fears,

you will always be afraid, son."

So?

Did you go down the slide?

No, but I did stay at the bottom

and wait for the kid, clotheslined him,

gave him a bloody nose.

He did not want to go down the
slide after that, either, so...

- Oh!
- Nice.

Dad, of course, yelled at me,

apologized to the kid's mother,

but I think he was proud of me.

Well, now that you have conquered

the Mount Everest of slides...

This old thing?

Is there any chance I can
talk the future Heisman winner

into playing catch?

What's up with those lost-and-founds?

Like, how is somebody walking
out without they drawers?

OK. This is where the party ended,

so one last chance to save my ass.

Um, I got a few things
I got to take care of.

- I'm gonna catch you later.
- What?

PATIENCE: What's up?
How's the birthday boy?

- Hey. Uhh...
- [CHUCKLES]

Everything hurts, and
I can't remember much,

so I'm officially getting old.

Layla, did I leave
something here last night,

like maybe a gift Liv
might've gotten me?

You don't know what the gift is,

or you don't know where the gift is?

- Exactly.
- Yikes.

Well, there was the cake,

but that was from all of us.

Right, the cake.

Mm. Mm. Mm.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

[CHEERING]

- That's me?
- Mm-hmm.

What am I waving at?

LAYLA: It's the Heisman, isn't it?

- That ain't the Heisman.
- Not even close.

OK, well, it's a birthday
cake, so make a wish.

- Hey.
- Yes.

[SCATTERED APPLAUSE]

Do we want that wish to come true?

Mm, probably not.

Maybe we should've gone
with a more traditional cake.

Yeah.

Hey, what was that about?

Oh, ooh, Layla, is that... is that you?

Oh, my God, I... I hardly recognize you,

it's been so... been so long.

Mm, yeah. Jordan, you
know I've been very...

Busy, I know... too busy
to come over this morning,

too busy to hang out with my
friends at the bar. I'm actually

very surprised you're too busy
to be right here right now.

I was actually busy planning
our friend's birthday party,

so I'm sorry I didn't have time

to go drinking with
you and your buddies.

So what's your excuse
for the last few weeks?

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- Um...

- Hello.
- Hey.

Thought I'd get you something
for throwing my brother's party.

Aww.

Yeah. That's... that's
us 5 years from now.

We look nice. Think about it, OK?

Um...

Do you like the cake, bro?

Dope, right?

Yeah, even if it looks
nothing like him...

Heisman from "Breaking Bad."

- No. It's Heisenberg.
- You know what?

Y'all my favorite couple.

Oh, my God. Only... only
we're not a couple, boozy.

Crenshaw's finest.

My God, shut up. He's drunk.

It's been a long time since
I seen you like this, like,

just all smiles and stuff.

Yeah. I'm hanging out with you

and celebrating a good friend's birthday

at another good friend's bar, so

what's not to be happy about?

Ha ha! Stop.

- What's up?
- Enjoy.

- Thank you.
- Ha ha! How many is that?

Hey, I don't even know.

- People just keep passing them to me.
- Ha!

At least somebody is, right?

Look, man. I had no idea that
story was gonna come out on me.

What does Matt Leinart know
about the Heisman, anyway?

He did win one.

I get the smallest taste of your life,

and you're mad at me?

- Spence, happy birthday, man.
- Ash, what's good, homie?

Nice of you to finally show, sir.

Oh, my bad. I was caught up at work.

Yeah. That's been going
around a lot lately.

Aye, aye, aye, we...
we... we... we heard

about Wade Waters joining Coastal.

- What's up with that, bruh?
- JORDAN: Yeah, man.

That kid should never
ever be able to play again.

What the hell was Montes thinking?

Uh, heh,

well, it wasn't his idea.

It was mine.

Huh.

SPENCER: Yo, are you out your damn mind?

LAYLA: Wade Waters, Asher, really?

- PATIENCE: Yeah. That's so messed up.
- OLIVIA: OK.

- Maybe let's just let him explain.
- COOP: All right, then. Explain.

What the hell was you thinking, bro?

Guys, I was just thinking that
my team needed a quarterback.

Mm, and you couldn't find
literally anyone else?

No one as good as him, J. You know that.

So you said, "screw your friends.

My team's all that matters."

No. It is not like that at all.

Look. You said yourself,
there's guys out there

that deserve a second chance.

Your whole team is made up of them.

That is different, and you
know it, all right, ugly?

None of those guys harassed Olivia.

COOP: Or sent a pack of
heavily armed pigs to att*ck us.

Guys, I'm sorry.

- I know what he did was messed up.
- "Messed up"?

Dude almost got us k*lled, man.

The cops had us face down on the ground

- with g*ns pointed at our heads.
- Coop, I know.

- I was there, remember?
- Come on, Ash.

- It's different for us.
- SPENCER: I can't believe

- how selfish you're being right now, bro.
- OK, OK.

- What?
- Spencer, please, calm down.

"Calm down"? What about the swatting?

If anyone should be upset, it's me.

I mean, every awful thing that Wade did

was directed my way.

I'm not thrilled that Asher
helped him out, either,

but I understand it,

you know, and if it wasn't for Wade,

then Coach Garrett would still
be hurting kids to win games,

and... who knows? I mean, maybe

Wade's learned from his mistakes.

I mean, he definitely
had to pay for them.

Well, what about the swatting?

Forget it. I'm gonna take Dillon home.

ASHER: Maybe I should leave, too.

Yeah. Maybe you should,

and, by the way, tell Wade
Waters I said, "what's up?"

- Hey, Spence...
- Come on, man.

Dude, don't. Hey, come on.
Come on. Come on. Knock it off.

Knock it off. What are we doing?

LAYLA: Ohh! Spencer...

Cake in the face?

You wanted a taste of my
life. Well, now you got it.

Jordan, wait.

- Huh!

Yeah. Well, it won't happen again.

Looks like I owe some apologies.

Well, you're not the only one.

[LAUGHS]

Wow, my dorky brother

up for the biggest trophy
in college football.

You know, the only
trophy that you ever got

before high school was
world's greatest son,

and Mom got you that after you lost

your one and only wrestling match.

OK. Well, the kid cheated...

you don't want to know
where he put his thumbs...

- You're right. I don't.
- And I'm not up for the Heisman.

I'm in the talks.

They'll be talking about
somebody else next week.

Wait. Was Dad ever in the running for it

or even part of the talks?

I don't think so.

I mean, that should tell
you how big of a deal it is.

I mean, do you know how
proud he would be of you?

Do you know how proud I am of you?

What did you do with my sister?

I'm serious.

I mean, who cares if they're
not talking about you next week?

They're talking about you now,

and that's worth celebrating.

If you don't enjoy the wins when
they happen, what's the point?

Be at where your feet at.

Dad used to say that, didn't he?

We can celebrate when we get home.

I'll even get you a cake.

I'm OK on the cake.

Spencer gave me some of his, so...

SPENCER: I cannot believe
I shoved a cake in his face.

Not just his face, his whole head.

I think some got in his ears...

Damn, I didn't even get a slice.

But... you know what? Someday
it'll be a funny story.

- Not today.
- OK.

I mean, we all know
it was drunk, surly you

and not sweet and sober you.

I mean, Jordan even volunteered

to take you home after you caked him.

- Wait. I left with Jordan?
- Mm-hmm.

JORDAN: Hey, hey, OK.

Our ride is 3 minutes out.

- Huh. [LAUGHS]
- What?

You got cake in your eyebrow, bruh.

[LAUGHS]

I don't get it, Spence.

I don't get why you are so upset at me.

I don't control who's in the
Heisman talk and who is not.

Oh, I ain't even mad
about the trophy, bruh.

- Then what, then?
- Because it's obvious

that you've been sitting
on something for a while.

You're nice to me off the field,

then then you're a jerk on it.

Let's hear it. Say what you got to say.

- You suck.
- [LAUGHS]

That was... that was... that was

- so well worth the wait.
- You know, you do whatever Mac says

- whenever he says it.
- That's what I'm supposed to do.

- He's our O.C.
- He's ain't mine.

Actually, he is. He is yours,

and we've won every single game

- since he's come on.
- Oh, we won without him...

- Oh, please.
- Before I became your favorite decoy.

Oh, so all that talk,
all your talk about...

about the team being
more important than you,

that was only true when the team

revolves around Spencer James.

Hey, what about you, huh?

What about you yelling at Asher

for choosing the team over friends

when you doing the same thing?

I'm not choosing the team over you.

You're on the damn team, Spence!

I'm trying to get drafted, J.

Every time you look the
other way, so does the NFL,

but that doesn't seem to
bother you or your new BFF Mac.

Spence, you have always had your guy,

always... your coach at
Crenshaw, Coach Kenny,

hell, even my dad. Yeah.

Coach Mac sees something
special in me, man,

and you hate it. You...

let's just go home. Let's
just go home. Come on.

No. You go.

I promised Layla I would get you home.

- Now let's go.
- Tell her you lost me.

Hey, pretend we on the football field

and look the other way.

- Go ahead, bro.
- Come on, man.

- Let's just go.
- No. No, man.

Go ahead. Hey, hey, hey, ah!

Serious?

[LAUGHS]

- All right, man.
- Bye-bye.

- See you later.
- [SIGHS]

Bye-bye.

SPENCER: So not only
did I lose Liv's gift,

but I fought with all my friends.

Well, we still cool.

I'm'a go find Asher.

- Wow.
- Oh...

- OK.
- Peace.

Yeah. I should probably go, too.

I just want to say, I am so sorry again.

I feel like every time
I come here, I just...

- I just screw something up.
- No. The only thing

you screwed up last
night was that guy's arm.

Now, I must admit, taking control

gave me such a high, but I think I...

I rode it a little too far.

Look. You've had a lot
of lows this year, so

you deserve a few highs.

So do you,

so I don't know what you and
Jordan are fighting about,

but you should try to work it out.

Bye.

Why did Dad bring you to this park?

We passed, like, 4 on the way. Why here?

I don't know.

I mean, he always took me here
after he and Mom had a fight.

Maybe he just wanted to have
more time to clear his head,

avoid running into someone that he knew.

Or watch his son fail
spectacularly at going down a slide.

[LAUGHS] That was an
added bonus, I'm sure.

He would sit on the bench

scowling for a little while.

Eventually, that big smile
would return, and we'd head home.

He and Mom would make up,

and then they'd disappear
into the bedroom.

- Know when to end a story.
- Yeah.

Do you think that hanging with me
kind of gave him some peace of mind?

Maybe, or maybe sitting here

gave him time to calm down

and realize that his fight with Mom

wasn't worth staying mad about.

Agree to disagree.

You know, this park
seems to work on you, too.

Your goofy smile is back.

There's only one thing
left for you to do.

I already went down the slide.

I'm talking about Layla.

Oh.

Is your fight really
worth holding on to?

I mean, learn from
Dad's example, you know?

Stop being a pouty, little bitch.

Know when to end a pep talk.

What are you gonna do about it?

You know I'm right.

[SIGHS]

What now?

Nothing.

It's great plays, top-notch.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Sorry to interrupt. Coach Red
said y'all would be in here.

Wade, give us a minute.

- Yeah.
- Actually, I need to talk to both of you.

I wanted to apologize face to face.

- No need.
- Don't sweat it, man.

I was out of line.

It's cool.

I knew that you guys were gonna be mad

when you found out, and...
to be honest, dude...

I'm pretty pissed at
myself about it, too.

I'm guessing that's about me.

Still, I had no right to
put my hands on you, bro.

We're good, Spence.

Besides, what's a 21st birthday

without a good, old-fashioned bar brawl?

WADE: Right, or two.

Oh, you don't remember
our fight, do you?

We had a fight?

Yes and no.

[ZACHARY KIBBEE'S
"BURN IT DOWN" PLAYING]

KIBBEE: ♪ It's coming
down like a hurricane... ♪

I see you. [LAUGHS]

♪ There's a hole in the roof
where it's coming through... ♪

Hey, 3 sh*ts of Tequila
for the birthday boy.

- That's me.
- How about a water instead?

Uh-uh, got to be
alcohol. That's the rules.

- Hit me.
- Put it on my tab.

Fine... one water on your tab.

I know.

- Happy birthday.
- Man...

[BOTTLE SHATTERS]

Now neither of us have a beer.

Well, that's a damn shame, homie,

because you're gonna need
it to wash down your teeth.

Get your friend out of here.

He isn't my friend.

Then I'm calling the police.

Wait.

WADE: I figured you'd
probably rather want

to wake up at my place than in jail,

and I wasn't gonna be responsible

for the cops getting called again.

I appreciate you looking out, bro.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I didn't leave anything at
your crib last night, did I?

Just whatever was in your
stomach on my bathroom floor.

- Oh.
- Hey, what's a 21st birthday

without a good,
old-fashioned drink-and-purge?

It's always good to see you, Wade.

- Yeah.
- Ash.

Hey.

- Hey.
- You busy?

I'm sorry. I didn't... I didn't
mean it like that. Just...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for being a pouty,

little baby recently.

It's just, I've been in my head

ever since you said you
didn't want to move in.

Then you kind of blew
off the wedding stuff

but had enough time
to goof off with Ryan,

and every single time you say that you

are too busy,

all I hear is that
you're too busy for me,

which then makes me push even harder,

but then it makes you push further away,

and I just don't want that.
I don't want that because...

I don't want that.

- You had me at "pouty, little baby."
- OK.

I don't want that, either,

and I'm sorry that I've been

such a moody, little baby lately, but,

hey, for the record, I'm
never too busy for you.

Sorry if you felt that way.

- OK.
- Hmm.

[CHUCKLES]

Tell me you found the gift.

No.

So you walked the green
mile over here to confess?

Yep. Make sure you say
something nice at my funeral.

Sure. "Spencer James, he
had a gift for football,

but never found his gift from Olivia."

Yeah. I'm gonna have
Dillon give the eulogy.

Look, if it makes you feel any better,

you ain't the only one
that had a wild night.

I'm telling you, if Bruce Lee
and The Rock had a daughter,

it would definitely
be you, but not as hot.

You know, I don't even
know if it was the alcohol

or the adrenaline, but, I'm telling
you, when that guy ran into me,

it was like everything was blurry,

and then a second later,
he was on the ground.

No. Correction... you put
him on the ground, right?

That's called being in control.

Oh, well, yeah. Thank
you for coming to get me.

Mm-hmm.

- Damn, you're always looking out for me.
- No.

I was looking out for the
guy you pounced, all right?

I didn't want you b*ating
him to death with his own arm.

I mean, that move came
out of nowhere, like.

Well, how about this move?

Wait. What are you doing, hmm?

Just taking control.

- You don't like it?
- I mean, it just don't seem right,

not right now.

I mean, we've been drinking a lot...

- Mm-hmm.
- Fighting.

Maybe we should have a real conversation

when both of us are thinking clearly.

Yeah. I wasn't really
looking for a conversation,

so... but, hey,

way to k*ll the mood.

Why are you just telling me this now?

Bruh, I wasn't gonna tell you at all,

but you was looking
like a sad puppy dog.

- You talk to Patience since?
- No, and I'm not dealing

with that right now. Why you
think I've been with you all day?

Oh, well, look who decided to
join the land of the living.

- Hey.
- What's up, Liv?

Spencer was just telling
me about his birthday gifts.

Go away, Coop.

Gladly.

Good luck.

[EXHALES]

Well, you look terrible.

Yeah. I feel even worse.

- Can we talk?
- Mm-hmm.

It's pretty cool, what
you did for Spence.

Well, I'm a pretty cool guy.

OK. Settle down.

How did you get him back to your place?

Did you have to carry him or...

I thought you didn't want
to talk about my night.

I don't.

Hey, what do you say we take
this outside, we run a few routes?

"We"?

You play football?

I did, yeah,

was even offered a scholarship here.

Well, you must have been pretty good.

Want to run these plays or not?

Yeah. Let's do it, Coach.

OLIVIA: And stop b*ating yourself up.

You are allowed to have
fun on your birthday.

I don't remember enough
to know if I had fun.

Well, you looked like
you were having fun,

I mean, for a while, anyway.

Listen. Trust me. I get it, OK?

Before we met, that was
every Tuesday for me.

There's something else.

I lost the gift you got me.

I'm pretty sure you didn't.

I promise you, I did. I
looked everywhere, Liv.

I'm sorry.

Not everywhere.

Uh... what?

Yeah.

Do you honestly not remember getting it?

[TATTOO NEEDLE WHIRRING]

Aaah!

No.

Well, so then you don't
remember why we got them.

From now on,

no matter where we are in the world,

we'll always have each other.

We'll be home.

I love you, Spencer.

Happy birthday.

Yeah. I'm never gonna forget that.

LAYLA: That was the worst apology

that I have ever heard, by the way.

- Really?
- Yeah.

How did we get here? Remind me, hmm?

The kid's still got it.

Well, that is the most
fun I've had in here

- since the place opened.
- Hmm.

Wait. Are we gonna
be one of those couples

that have to fight to have sex?

I mean, it wouldn't be the worst thing.

Well, no, Jordan. It would.

No, it wouldn't, Layla.

- Are you getting horny?
- No, not at all.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, I have to say...

- Mm-hmm?
- I've missed this version of us.

I got so caught up in what
our future should look like

that I forgot to sit back and
just appreciate where we are,

and I do appreciate you very much.

I appreciate you, too,

not gonna let anything
come between us again.

Hmm.

Oh, I should probably delete

the last 30 minutes of
footage from that camera.

Or you could just give it to me.

I'd love to hold on to it just
to keep it safe and secure,

in good hands, you know?

What's that?

Oh, something I can't erase.

Patience's fight is online.

Greg, move your head.
