do all the things

he wanted to do?

You want my advice?

Be a better brother.

All right, I'm gonna

get out of here.

This place f***ing bores me.

Love you, dad.

Love you.

Hey.

How long have you

been waiting out here?

Well,

I didn't want to wake you, so...

What do you want?

You were right.

Okay, I know this is...

I know this is my last

shot to prove anything,

and I want to do it right.

Look, I think It's great that you're

wearing a sh*t without any stains on it,

but just 'cause

you brush your hair...

I also cleaned my apartment.

What does that have

to do with anything?

It's like a... symbol or...

I don't know, a**hole.

Just listen. If you come back,

give this another shot,

then you run the show.

All right? You...

You make the rules.

You're the coach.

Okay?

Hey, If I don't

take this seriously,

If you think at any point I'm f***ing

around too much or whatever,

you can just... you can bail

and tell me to f*** off,

and that's that.

Just give me one more shot.

Come on.

No drinking?

Right. No drinking.

No partying, no smoking,

no drugs of any kind, no junk

food, none of that sh*t.

I promise.

I won't even smile.

Yeah?

All right.

Yeah? Let's do it.

All right. You

remember the routine?

Yep.

You know what, actually?

I feel... I feel healthier.

Yeah. Yeah.

You probably lost

six pounds alone

not eating the food that

drops on your shirt anymore.

You shut up, and you shut up.

Okay.

Ooh, um, can you actually

drop me off back at the school?

I want to work on my forehand.

What? No, no, no. We're...

We'll practice tomorrow. Dude,

It's not gonna do any good.

You have an awful,

awful forehand.

- Right?

- No. You got a good forehand.

Bye-bye. Bye, now, Barry.

See you later. See you later.

Maybe because

you're being a b*tch.

Out of my way! Seriously?

You told me Barry wasn't here.

What the f***?

Are you lying to me now?

Who are these guys that

are dropping him off?

What the hell are you thinking?

Get back inside,

for crying out loud.

How come you didn't hug me?

What, no hug? What'd you do?

What'd you tell him?

Get inside. You get inside.

Hey.

Hey. Wh...

You didn't realize I was coming.

No, but, um...

Jimmy said you asked me to come.

No. But, I mean,

you know, I...

It's great. Yeah?

Yeah, totally.

No, this is great.

How's, um, hair guy?

Gary? Gary. Gary.

It's going really well, I think.

Cool. How'd you guys meet?

Um...

This dating web site.

I do the on-line thing

too, so...

Really? Gosh.

Well, It's too bad you

didn't find me before Gary,

'cause that would've been interesting.

That would've been.

Hey, slugger.

- Hey, dad.

- R-really?

What? Dad, really? You

call Darren "slugger" too?

I thought that was our thing.

I don't remember ever actually

calling you "slugger."

You don't? If anyone's

the slugger, It's me.

Jimmy, you lied to get me here.

Everyone knows you're

boning the wrong guy.

Jimmy... what? Do you think

she's boning the right guy?

You've met him. Be honest.

Jim...

Jim... I'm just...

Sorry to make

this uncomfortable for you.

Shut up! Fine.

What's going on at the clinic?

It's good. Busy.

Yeah, we were packed.

What did we have?

Eight dogs, seven cats

and a ferret today.

Actually, we had

seven dogs and eight cats.

Pretty sure it was

eight dogs and seven cats,

and I definitely remember the ferret,

although as soon as I started saying that,

I was thinking, "was

the ferret yesterday?"

Yeah, I think it was.

I can't do...

Guys, I'm gonna cut you off, because

otherwise I'll kill myself.

Dad still thinks

he's in new Jack city.

It's an emergency.

Kind of. It's Mrs. Dolcort.

Her pomeranian,

she's in really bad shape.

Yeah, but, you know,

we're all here.

Why don't I take this? No, look.

It's Mrs. Dolcort.

She'll throw a fit If

It's not me in person.

But If you go, how are we gonna solve

the "seven dog, eight dog" mystery?

Okay.

It's gonna keep me up.

Let's do this again soon, okay?

It's great to see

you two together.

Bye, dad. Bye, Jack.

See ya, pop.

I call him "pop." It's a thing.

So, are you guys

gonna hit it tonight?

Really? We're ready to order.

He's a pretty big guy, so I'm assuming

he's got some junk in the trunk.

As in "elephant trunk."

Do you know what I'm saying?

My penis is feeding

your mouth right now?

Elephant trunk. You know what I'm saying?

Elephant trunk.

You're good at this.

Yeah, thank you.

I stopped you again.

I'm here with the Bryan

brothers, Bob and Mike,

undeniably the greatest

doubles team of all time.

Gentlemen, of all

the tournaments you've won,

do any stand out in particular?

Definitely winning

the Alerian open.

You guys share not only the trophies

but a lot of other parts of your life.

Is it true that you once

shared a bank account?

We've shared everything.

We lived together for forever.

We went to high school,

went to college together.

We turned pro on the same date.

We got our braces

on and off on the same day.

So, yeah, It's wild

how close we are,

but It's what makes

our partnership so strong.

In the film pacific rim, there are

things called jaegers, giant robots,

and they have to be piloted

by a tandem team,

one taking the left hand,

one taking the right hand.

I think you guys would

make great jaeger pilots.

What do you think?

Would you ever consider

doing that?

I think we'd be a good

two-headed monster.

Come in.

You text me "code red" and

then don't pick up your phone.

What's going on?

I have to ask you something.

Okay. What?

How long have you been

a substitute teacher?

What?

Off and on for seven years.

Why? What's going on?

Seven years? Wow.

That's cool.

And you're... what?

You're, like, a democrat?

I'm a registered independent.

What the f*** is going on, Jimmy?

What? You're my partner,

and I don't even know,

you know, what your

favorite food is.

You know? What's

your favorite food?

My God.

This is your

"code red" emergency?

Okay. Let's put our cards

on the table, dude.

Okay? We're not close.

Yeah. Okay. And we...

We need to be in tune

with each other,

to know what each other's

thinking on the court,

If we want to have

a chance in hell.

I mean, do you know why the Bryan brothers

are the number one team in the world?

They f***ing love each other.

I mean, like, really a lot.

They're in tune.

They're in sync.

We need to be in sync. The pre-quallies

are right around the corner,

and If we want to win there, we have

to learn sh*t about each other.

That is our plight.

That's what we have to do.

So suck it up, b*tch.

So, what kind of music

are you into these days?

You still like pearl jam?

Yeah, they're good.

See? I knew you

better than I thought.

Unsealed on a porch

a letter said

it said,

I wanna leave it ag...

hey, do you like coldplay? I feel like

you like coldplay. No, not really.

You ever shave your pubes?

I do, once in a while.

Psychologically, it makes

me feel more aerodynamic.
