because he feels so guilty.
But I don't feel safe anymore, Nick!
Okay.
And this had to come out.
Then what are you going to do, Ronny?
Mr. Moral Guy.
Are you going to look your best friend in the eyes, and lie to him
and say, "No, that never happened. I never slept with her"?
I don't think so.
Stay out of my marriage.
Now if you'll excuse me.
Good night, Sybil.
I don't even know if you're there, God.
I haven't really tried to ring you up
ever since I asked for those parlays when things were tough.
And I know you didn't help me with those for my own good
because I had stuff I had to learn, but...
I don't want to learn any lessons on this one.
I really don't want to lose my best friend.
I know I'm supposed to give you things,
but I'm scared to give you this.
If you are listening,
and if you want to help us with the whole Chrysler thing,
that would be really great, too.
If that could go our way, that would be really great.
If you're listening, that's it.
Hello.
Can I speak to Beth Dalton?
She's not here right now. May I take a message?
Thanks, but no.
Hello?
Good morning.
You've reached the Kearny Group. How may I help you?
The Nikon D5000.
Ten-million effective pixels,
2.7 pixel density.
Does it work from far away?
Definitely. Are you gonna be shooting birds?
Yes. What kind?
Unfaithful ones.
Hello?
Hey, it's me. I need to see you, it's important.
Who is this?
Susan Warner. The consultant for Dodge.
Oh, yes, of course, Susan.
I'm sorry, I thought we were in "it's me" territory in our relationship.
No, we are, we absolutely are. What's up?
Get your ass to Marino Chrysler right now.
I don't want to do this over the phone.
There are powers at work here.
But this is it, this is the end game.
This is what it's about. It's about your engine in that car.
The sound of your engine in that car,
the vibration of your engine in this car.
Susan, I get it. Just tell me what exactly the hiccup is.
Thomas loved your idea,
but he doesn't want to only depend on B & V to execute it.
So he threw the bid to United Design.
That's bullshit! He can't throw our bid to United Design!
That's our idea!
Exactly.
They're worried about Nick. "Can he finish? Can he handle this?"
That's nuts. That's crazy, 'cause Nick Brannen will bring the thing home.
He's next-level genius.
Yeah! You preaching to the choir, here.
That's why I'm telling you this.
I'm on your side. I'm your Deep Throat.
Well, I appreciate it.
Did you ever see that movie?
All the President's Men?
No, Deep Throat.
Uh-uh. Oh.
It's pretty amazing.
Okay, Susan, I'm sorry,
but can you just tell me, when is United Design supposed to present?
In three days.
Unbelievable.
I didn't make the deadline, but we have to hit it.
Listen, Felix, just get Nick for me?
Nick is sleeping in the '68 Charger.
Do you want me to wake him?
No, just tell him when he wakes up.
Okay.
I got that information that you wanted right here.
The Kearny Group is a Las Vegas-based private equity group
that brings well-known restaurants to Vegas. Uh-huh.
They did Rao's, II Mulino, and Le Cirque.
All right, thanks, Felix. I got to run.
Hello.
Hey, Ronny, where are you?
I'm doing all different kinds of things now,
with all the nice people, thank you.
All right, listen, I just got your message.
Three days? I don't think I can do it.
I thought we were on the 10-yard line,
but I think the refs might be reviewing the call.
You're going to have to make the plays now, Nick.
Why do you sound like you're on medication?
You're great at what you do. You're a very sweet man. Okay.
All right, man, you're up. Let's do it!
All right, you better stick it, dude!
Watch this, man!
There they are. Happy anniversary, guys.
Happy anniversary!
Hey! There they are!
Hiya, Dad! Hi, baby!
It's so great to see you.
How was the trip, okay? Wonderful, terrific.
Hey, Mom!
You look ravishing!
Where's Ronny?
Um...
He'll be here in a minute. Just a little tied up at work.
Okay, good.
Hey, what did I say? Come on, get out of here.
Nah, I'm not gonna be nice anymore.
You're bringing down my property value. You need to go.
I told you twice already.
I don't want to see you in front of my place.
Whatever, man.
Get out of here.
Hi, Sepia, on Jefferson.
Did you get a good show? Where are you going?
Where are you going?
You're not going anywhere!
You broke into the wrong house, boy.
You came to party? You're going to get something now!
Get away from me, you son of a bitch!
You want to party? Come on, I got all the party you want, baby!
I just took an OxyContin 20 minutes ago.
I won't feel a thing. Come on.
Let's get jacked up!
Come on!
Yeah, let's get jacked up, daddy!
Do you know how much that guitar cost?
My fish!
You son of a bitch!
You think you're safe in there? Huh?
We'll see how safe you are in there, boy!
Oh, yeah!
Yeah, that's right! You hear me?
I'm going to chew my way right up your ass, boy!
Yeah! You got nowhere to go!
Oh, yeah!
Hey!
I'm going to burn that face!
What are you doing?
I'm going to burn your face, boy!
What, are you crazy? Stop!
Give me that stupid-looking face! What's wrong?
I thought you were on Oxy? I'm going to burn it!
You better run, you son of a bitch!
Where are you at?
Where are you at, crazy? Where are you at?
Come on, show me!
Oh, you better run, punk!
You better goddamn run tonight!
I know where you live, man!
I want that to register.
Put that in your tattooed mind!
I know where you live!
Because I'm going to come back here
and I will burn that face, daddy!
Oh, I can't wait for my chance.
I can't wait till I get you, just lined up perfect
and I get to burn that little face!
Because I'm a problem!
Now you deal with that!
Whoa! Crazy's here, baby!
This is a collector's item!
What do you want to do? You're going to burn my face?
You're going to burn my face? Yeah?
No! No!
Who are you?
Oh, you're not going to tell me?
Who are you?
I'm her husband's best friend!
You son of a bitch!
Oh, shit. Yeah.
All right, man. Why didn't you just say that?
That's right, you son of a bitch,
I'm her husband's best friend!
Hold on a second, calm down. Okay, okay.
You're going to use a little bat on me?
You think that bat's going to help you with me?
You could've just said... No, no, no!
You're being childish. Just stop.
Turn over! Just turn over.
Hey! Hey! Stop.
Stop, stop.
Do it!
Do it, you scumbag. Hit me in the head!
You better end this today, because I'm going to come back for you.
You understand me? There's no coming back.
No, I'm going to end this right now!
My friend Nick is 10 times the man you'll ever be.
You're not anything.
You're garbage.
Come on, I'm not... I didn't even... That's...
It takes two, and you know that!
Yeah, it takes two.
Not three, prick.
What, are you sniveling? What?
Are you crying?
No.
No, it's the Oxy, and it's making me...
Come here! Get up! Come here!
Get up. You get up right now. You get out of here!
Get out of here!
I'm not playing with you!
I'm not playing.
I can just take the sweater.
Okay.
Ronny, jeez! You look like hell!
The sweater's good, though, right? Hey! Hi.
Hey, I know I'm late. I'm hoping I'm still fashionable.
What happened to your face?
Just a bar fight.
Just a bar fight. Some bikers...
Bar fight, Ronny? Really?
Yeah.
I was at the Zip Bar and Grill, actually.
Real dirtbag joint.
Do not go there. Take it off the GPS.
Let's do this. Where's the fam?
You know what? I got to talk to you for a second. Come here.
Should I see the family?
Okay.
What is all this?
Come over here. Look, obviously, something's going on with you.
And I want you to know that if you need me, for anything at all...
Screw the project, screw the deadline.
I'm there for you, all right?
Ronny...
Whoa! You look like shit. Thank you.
Anyway, thank you.
I pressed Saul and he totally caved, admitted he was cheating.
Now we're going to work on it, for the kids.
It might be futile, but you got to at least try, right?
And all those times he was saying, "I'm going bowling."
Yeah, he wasn't bowling.
He wasn't even bowling at all.
Ronny? What the...
Ron?
Get a good feel, buddy?
Ronny!
You remember my cousin James,
and his boyfriend Juan?
Let me finish.
Because families like to touch and hang out, and that's what we're doing.
I'm just roughing it up with my guy!
Come on, I had him! I had him, Juan!
Nice to meet you, buddy! My guy, good to see you, babe!
And my parents.
Ronald.
Yeah, Burt and Sue.
It's impressive, 40 years, it's quite an accomplishment.
Is the flame still burning after 40?
Still there.
Of course it is, of course it is.
With you, there's no question. My man.
Let's go celebrate. Let's do this.
I'm just playing the fun part, doing the things I do.
Great to see you!
Breath against breath,
breathe me life.
Thousand and thousand kisses, give me, I beg you.
Love wants everything without condition.
Love has no law.
Mom and Dad,
your love has no law.
So beautiful.
I'd like to make the toast.
Forty years.
That is a long time to be with someone. Forty years, wow!
It's impressive.
I personally don't know a lot about marriage,
but I would imagine it can't be easy,
all those 40 years being with someone.
Because people are not perfect.
People make mistakes in life.
But I would assume
what would get you through those 40 years would be...
...honesty.
Honesty and honesty alone.
And love.
But even more than that, Burt, is the honesty.
Don't forget about patience.
Oh, no one's going to forget about patience, Sue.
You can relax, patience is on the table.
What I'm talking about, though, is honesty here.
Talking about two people
who have probably had an eye wander every now and then.
Everyone knows Burt was in the garment business.
If you don't think you meet a lot of girls in that business,
then you don't get out of the house much.
A lot of girls.
A lot.
Good-looking guy, well-spoken.
It's "pinch me, I'm dreaming time," am I right, ladies?
And look at Sue. Gorgeous lady, easy to be around.
Always into the aerobics.
Kept it tight, in a great way.
And Burt did well, they have a pool. Pool guy come over.
Lot of guys would come over to the house. Young guys, too.
Now let's say something did happen.
We don't know that it did, maybe it didn't.
But it's not up to us to know, it's up to them to know.
I bet they were honest with each other.
I bet she came to him and said, "Hey, Burt,
"you know you're my number one.
"But maybe Mama got thirsty last night."
What I'm going to focus on, though, here is the ingredient
that I think really makes the whole stew stick together, and that is honesty.
And similar interests!
Who are you?
I'm Cousin Betty.
First?
Second.
Okay, Cousin Betty, this is not a group toast
nor is it an open forum.
I'm the one who's standing up here.
I'm the one with the glass, I'm the one that is talking.
Now, Burt and Sue chime in
and that's fine because it's their night, you know, 40 years and all of that.
But not you.
Nobody gave you a speaking part, nobody cares.
You're a second cousin, which isn't even a real relative
because someone could have sex with a second cousin
and the kid could still be normal.
Honesty.
You cannot run from it.
And believe me,
it'll find you.
The truth will always find you.
Burt and Sue.
Forty years, being honest.
Burt and Sue.
Congratulations.
Can I speak to you in the kitchen?
I was just going to finish my... Please?
Sure. Okay.
I need to know what's going on.
Nothing.
I'm just toasting, and I'm passionate about honesty.
I'm not talking about the inappropriate toast
that you just gave at my parents' anniversary,
or the bar fight,
or the allergies that you caught from street plants while chasing fat kids.
I'm talking about
what's going on in your head that's causing these things.
It's just some stuff that I have to fix.
That's it, honey. And I can't bring you in on it
because that would directly affect my ability to do that.
To do what? To fix it!
Fix it, fix it!
I have to fix it on my own, honey.
Okay, Ronny, you're not fixing anything
and you're breaking more stuff.
And it's enough!
You just gave a whole speech about honesty,
it's time for you to be honest with me!
Is it? Yeah.
Is it honest time now, between us?
Then why don't you start, Beth?
Why don't you tell me about the Kearny Group?
How do you know about the Kearny Group?
Are you going to Las Vegas?
Are you planning on leaving me?
God, Ronny, no! No!
They asked me to open up a restaurant in City Center, and I said no.
Why?
Because that would mean I'd have to go live
in Las Vegas for a couple of years.
And...
And what, Beth?
And I don't trust you in Las Vegas.
Okay.
Ronny...
Look at you.
Your sponsor called me.
You haven't been going to your meetings,
you're walking around with large amounts of cash,
and it just really feels like two years ago.
You know, I...
I can't get into this with you right now.
If you don't let me in, how do I know what to do?
How can I help you?
I think it's best if I go.
I don't want you to go.
I'm going to go sleep at the office tonight.
You want to do this?
What are you doing?
Watching you sleep.
It's creepy, right?
Felix, go play with the hot tub and the ladies on the line, honestly.
I'm just getting up, it's too much. You're too much.
Please, give me a minute, I don't know where I'm at.
Oh, God. Hey, man. What's going on?
Come on in the house.
What, are you going to shoot me right here
on your porch in broad daylight?
Are you out of your mind?
No, not if you're in the house.
I've googled this.
Do you want to know how it works? Yeah?
You come inside and I defend myself.
Now, I'm not going to pump six bullets into you.
No, that would make me look crazy and out of control.
No, I'm going to pump three into you like a calm gun-owner would.
Zip, I came here with the intent, and only the intent,
of getting my camera back.
Oh, yeah. Your camera?
Come on inside.
If you just want your camera, it's right here.
Listen to me.
I can really appreciate the fact that things got
completely nuts the other night.
And I can also appreciate that a lot of your property...
I appreciate the fact that a lot of your property got damaged as well.
You killed my fish.
You killed my fish, man. I know.
Why would you do that?
Maybe you should be compensated for that.
You should be compensated for that.
I can't put a price on that, because that's a friend.
Although you can't pet it, but what would the fish do?
The fish doesn't want this, man.
I think what the fish is saying is maybe I should get my camera back.
And maybe, just maybe, and I'm just hoping against hope here,
maybe we can put this whole thing behind us.
$10,000.
$500.
$5,000.
I have a thousand. I'll give you the thousand.
And an apology.
Zip, if I apologize to you when you have a gun pointed at my throat,
then I don't think it really counts.
That's a good point.
I'm sorry for what happened.
I need to feel it.
I just need it to really come from right there.
Look, man, I'm sorry, all right?
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I'm really, really sorry that we're standing here in this situation.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
...seven, eight, nine, 10.
And the $400 I owe for the old person's home. Perfect.
You did this to me.
You know that.
I don't mess with firearms. I don't do that.
I don't do that. Look, I'm a sensitive guy.
You know what I'm saying to you?
Okay.
Thank you.
Drive safe.
Who the hell are you?
You got no choice now.
You got to go right up to him and just say it to him.
It's not that complicated of a thing to do. It's easy.
You got the pictures, she can't bullshit you, and that's the end of it.
Come here. Get in here, I love you.
Stop it, you will find somebody else.
You're a great guy, and I love you.
Just keep walking.
Ronny.
Hey.
We were just about to call you, actually.
We were hoping to be a little better prepared, but I guess
we can start?
Ronny, why don't you come join us?
Who are you?
My name is Dr. Rosenstone.
Your family and friends are here because they love you, Ronald.
And they can't stand to see you destroy yourself anymore.
What is this, an intervention?
Yes!
We don't see the need for labels.
This is just a bunch of friends talking to one friend
and letting them know they love them.
An intervention.
Your sister and her husband would like to start.
I tormented you, I know.
Diane, please don't do this.
I dressed you up like a little girl,
but I'm here to support you.
Ronny, I am!
Okay, okay. It's not what you think.
I don't know how the hell you found out,
but I'll kill you if you ever do that to me again.
Okay.
Why don't we all come in and sit down?
Come on.
Let Ronny sit down.
We got a big blue chair waiting for Ronny.
Come on, sweetheart, sit down. It'll be okay.
Well, it's no coincidence
that we find ourselves here in a gentle circle of support.
Hey.
Oh, shit, am I late?
I'm sorry. I know it's probably really bad form to be late to an intervention.
Hi, I'm Beth.
Hi, Beth. What's going on?
Hey, big guy.
Who the hell invited him?
You know what? I invited him.
You did? You invited him?
Yeah. You know what? I followed you to his place earlier today.
I saw you pay him.
And after you left, I went up and talked to him.
It says right here,
"If possible, it's best to have all enablers present,
"even bookies."
So I agreed to pay your debt if he agreed to come here tonight, and he did.
Thanks, man. I appreciate this.
It was really nice of you. No problem.
You got to be kidding me.
He's not my bookie, Nick.
Oh, come on, Ronny.
Admit it, man. You bet on everything.
How dare you show up here! You have no right being here!
He's a scumbag, an enabler, a mistake!
Stop it! I asked him to come here!
Come on, don't kill the messenger.
I'm just here to help. I'm helping.
Okay? That's what I'm doing.
Look, he bets on the Bulls, and the Sox,
the Cubs.
He bet on the Hawaii game.
Only degenerates bet on the Hawaii game.
I don't want that for you, man.
I should have done this a long time ago.
I think you need to take a look at this.
What is... You got to look, there's more pictures.
You got to flip through that one, get to the other pictures.
I did. I'm flipping right now.
I keep flipping, and it keeps going back to the same pic
because there's only one picture in the catalogue.
You can't take a picture of something that didn't happen, Ronald.
Ronny!
Not again.
Ronny, calm down!
Stop it! You're going to kill him!
You're going to kill your bookie!
He's not my damn bookie!
There's something wrong with you!
You son of a bitch!
What is wrong with you?
You're completely out of control!
You're crazy!
You're completely out of your mind!
Don't get me wrong, I'd like to party with you and get high with you,
but you're insane!
I think we're missing the point of this gathering.
It's about talking and sharing our concerns.
This is ridiculous.
Then let me go, okay? Because I have something to say.
Take a seat. Please, everybody, sit.
Beth, please. Just sit down.
Look, here's the thing...
Please, just let me... Please, okay?
All right.
Ah, man, that was...
All right, I got something to say.
This is important to me, so...
Okay, Nick...
All right, please. Please?
I didn't have many friends when I got to Ball State.
I was shy and...
You already know this.
But, Ronny, what you don't know is
when you moved in across the hall, in second semester,
I made it a goal of mine
to become friends with you.
I mean, you were funny and charming,
and everybody liked him, everybody.
Okay, Nick, enough.
You got to let me talk here for a second.
I want you to listen to me.
Nick, you're my best friend.
You always make me do better.
You always make sure I don't screw up.
And you make it that I never forget what really matters in life.
When I had my relapse two years ago,
it wasn't all the money and stuff that I lost that made me feel bad.
It was the fact that I let you down.
This is good.
This is catharsis.
I know.
You know I never had a brother growing up, right?
And my dad wasn't around very much.
And all my friends growing up were, really, criminals.
So when I met you in school, I was...
Let's just say that I looked up to you as well, in college.
And I really have looked up to you ever since.
So, there's something that you should know.
There's something that I already should have told you, Nick.
What is it?
Geneva's been running on you
with the guy that you thought was my bookie.
Jesus Christ, Ronny!
You thought that you saw an exchange, right?
That it was a gambling exchange,
but it wasn't a gambling exchange.
Really, I was just going to get my camera,
because there were pictures and stuff on it.
The truth is, I'm not gambling.
I haven't been doing any gambling at all.
What's been going on with me is
I've really been trying to figure out what's the best way to tell you
and how to handle this thing.
Is this true?
No! It's not true.
He's lying!
He's compulsive, he's a gambler.
He'll say anything, he's desperate!
Go ahead, Geneva, tell him the truth.
Everyone is sitting here, listening.
Okay, fine, fine!
Uh...
The thing is, that...
Okay, fine.
What did you expect?
You were getting happy endings in Pilsen.
Jeez!
No! No, Nick, listen.
You left me alone. I wanted to be with you, but...
Can we not get into this right now?
No, but that's the problem!
You never want to talk about anything, ever!
I know that it's been tough with us for a while now,
and I take my part in that.
But isn't there something about us you still believe in?
How long did you know?
I've known for a few days, a week. For way too long.
I don't know what to say. I don't even know what I'm feeling right now.
Honestly, I don't know!
I do know this, you should have told me sooner, Ronny.
Before right now.
Before standing here in front of your friends and your family, and Doctor...
Rose... I know it starts with "Rose." Rosenstone.
...stone. Buddy, I know.
I'm really sorry. I tried to tell you in the office.
What do you mean trying? Trying is not telling, Ronny!
Come on. Look, I can appreciate
how hard this must have been on you, I know.
I'm just really glad that you say that you can appreciate how hard it was
because you don't even know.
I've been fighting with these people,
trying to keep everything straight in my head.
I get it.
But in the nature of what's going on here,
there's one more small thing that I just want to bring closure to now
in the circle of gentleness.
Ronny, you don't have to.
Yes, I do, Geneva.
Because Nick is my best friend.
And this is what best friends do.
They tell the truth to each other.
Okay. When we were in college,
and this is way before you guys ever met,
there was a night that didn't mean anything. It was a meaningless night.
It was a booze night.
It was big, big bar night.
Ronny, get to the point.
The point is, way before you guys ever met,
before you ever even knew each other,
I kind of slept with Geneva.
You what?
This is what friends do, they tell the truth.
I'm a friend and I'm telling the truth, buddy. Here I am.
He wanted to tell you, Nick.
But I was falling in love with you.
We didn't want to hurt you.
You asshole! Hold on, hold on.
I'm telling the truth, I'm in a circle.
No, you know what? You're the worst.
Buddy, I'm sorry, okay? Listen...
Get your hands off me. Don't touch me!
Let me tell you something.
That's probably the most honest thing you've ever said to me.
Nick... You're sorry.
You're so sorry.
Nick.
I'm sorry, Ronny.
I'm sorry.
I should never have put you in that position.
Beth, I am so sorry that I caused tension between you two.
I'm sorry.
This has been a marvelous first step.
I'm sorry?
This has been a revelation for you, I can tell.
I'm okay, buddy. Thank you. You've done a lot here today.
I didn't gamble.
I walked by the casino once or twice, but I didn't gamble.
Are you okay?
It's been a long day.
I didn't know if you had eaten or not, so,
if you're hungry...
I don't know how to start this.
I got scared.
And I'm sorry,
because I didn't feel safe.
So then, I didn't tell you about Las Vegas and the Kearny Group.
And then, here I am, being someone that I don't want to be.
I mean, I staged this whole ridiculous intervention thing
and you weren't even gambling!
And that's great, by the way.
I'm so happy that you weren't gambling.
But this is no good.
It's not healthy.
The problem is, if you don't share stuff with me,
like the fact that you were with Geneva, it keeps me in the dark.
And that belittles us.
I want us to be more than that.
I understand.
I just didn't feel right in saying something to you
if I wasn't saying it to Nick.
And then, when I found out
about the Vegas deal
and that you didn't trust me enough to share that with me,
then that really hurt.
But I guess I've earned that.
And it's up to me to un-earn that.
I don't ever want to put you through anything like this ever again.
Because honestly, honey, I do love you.
I love you, too.
And...
I understand.
You've got a Chrysler meeting tomorrow, don't you?
I don't even know if Nick is going to show up.
You weren't a terrible friend, Ronny.
I mean, you sucked at the way you handled things,
but you cared.
Yes.
Ronny Valentine,
the other half of the team.
I'll let the gang know, tell them you're both here.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
How are you doing?
Well, I moved out.
How are you feeling?
Shaky
on how everything went down.
The truth is, I was just
hanging on to something that wasn't there.
It wasn't fair to her.
I'm sorry, buddy.
I'm sorry you're going through this, Nick.
Listen, I feel terrible about the whole situation.
And I've been sick to my stomach for the last 24 hours, man.
I've been doing a lot of soul-searching and thinking about
what friendship really means.
And the thing of it is...
There it is.
Okay, good. That's good.
Nick, I feel terrible about this whole thing, all right?
And if that makes you feel better,
for me, honestly, I just want to get past this thing, okay?
So, if you want to hit me again...
Ow!
Oh, my God.
Is everything all right?
Great.
We're ready for you.
We'll be just one sec. We're ready, we'll come right in.
Well, we'll be in the presentation area.
I know where it is, I'll be right there.
Good grief.
We're really looking forward to this opportunity.
You handled this whole thing like shit.
I'm sorry, Nick.
I really am.
I know I didn't date a lot,
so when Geneva and I were serious,
you didn't want to hurt me,
and it was before we ever got together.
Now I'm not saying it was easy,
the spot you were in, because it wasn't.
But in the future,
no matter how uncomfortable things are,
if it affects us,
you got to tell me.
Do you got it?
I promise you, Nick.
I got it.
Okay.
All right, there you go.
I'm good.
Excuse me, Mr. Valentine,
given what we just saw in the waiting room, I think we need to...
Oh, that? We're like kids in a car too long on a road trip.
We're fine, we're just working.
The moment of truth
has finally arrived.
Now I know that the journey getting here has had some turbulence
and some confusion.
But I ask you for one second,
when folks were reaching for greatness, was that not the case?
I remember a group of people who wanted to head west
with dreams of gold and opportunity.
The Donner Party.
The Donner Pass.
Things got a little weird out on the trail, didn't it?
Some cannibalism, folks got hungry.
Some feelings hurt, some families destroyed,
but some people made it out west.
Not all of them.
And it's not that they necessarily got rich.
But the point is,
we've headed out west, and this is our destination.
Nick,
start your engine.
You son of a bitch.
I told you the difference was Nick Brannen,
and we have Nick Brannen.
Simply the best
You can feel it.
Better than all the rest
You were right about these lunatics, Susan.
Commit to the long-term deal and cut them a check.
And that's why I love you guys!
That's why I love you!
That's why my lady wood is still strong!
See, I get it. They don't get it.
They don't get it, but I do.
See, all that fighting and shit, that's just passion!
When you work that close, you just want to choke
the hell out of somebody, right?
Yeah. See, I understand that.
I relate. But, listen.
That motor...
That motor in that car...
I mean, when it started vibrating... I'm sorry?
If I was sitting on the hood of that car... Okay.
...and the way it was just vibrating...
I understand, and I got to be really honest with you.
When I first met you, your phraseology with "lady wood,"
I didn't know whether you were coming or going.
But I've really grown to love you.
Yes! Yes! Come on! Come on!
Damn it!
He can do this, he just has to stay calm.
Nick Brannen, that was your second shot.
But if you score on your third and final attempt,
you can still win a trip for two
to the NHL All-Star Game in Carolina.
Are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready.
Okay, good luck.
Dude, seats are taken.
It's between periods.
I've got food here!
What are you, a hall monitor?
I'm not touching your food! I know the guy!
Nick!
Great moments are born from great opportunities.
That's what you have here tonight, Nick.
That's what you've earned here tonight!
One shot.
You take it 10 times, you might miss nine.
But not this shot, Nick.
Not tonight.
Come on, big guy. Come on, baby.
Yes!
Whoo-hoo!
Congratulations to Nick Brannen
who's won a trip for two to the NHL All-Star Game
in Carolina.
Yes, you did! Yes, you did!
Yeah!
They can never take it away from you!
Ronny!
Yes, buddy! Yeah, Ronny!
I knew you'd do it! I told you I would do it!
