I got held in Dallas.

It was this whole deal, and

now I need multiple cocktails.

Shall we?

Sheena; Yeah, sounds good.

Just give me a sec.

Oh, sure, yeah.

Hey. That's your boyfriend.

- Manager, but boyfriend, yeah.

- Okay.

Hey, maybe keep that under

your hat, what I said.

- Yeah, totally.

- Okay, cool.

I'm, I'm so glad

that we did this.

- Yeah, me too.

- All right, well, I'll see you.

Yeah. See you.

- Hey.

- Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

No, I... look, I, I just, I've

been thinking a lot lately, and.

I, I know this is gonna sound

like it's coming out of nowhere.

But what if, like, instead

of going back to the bwl,

slamtasia, the deal that you've

been working on nonstop for me

for 10 months, what if instead I

just kinda gave it up and sort

of retire from pro wrestling

as an alternate plan?

Look, it's, it's what I want.

I'm sorry.

You're not mad?

No, this is what you want.

I'll support you.

But we should just have a

big old retirement match.

I can call Mitch in

Fresno or bj in Jersey.

Corey:
Or you could do it here.

All right, easy, guys, let's

just take it one step at a time.

Yeah, we've gotta get going.

It's really nice to meet you.

- Yeah.

- I'll see you, Corey.

- Yep.

- Good night.

Take care, bud.

Hi, may I help you?

Let's go sit over here.

Yeah. Okay, so, you saw her?

Mm-hmm.

- Closure?

- Yeah.

- Good, good.

- Did it real casual.

I was like, "hey, let's get out

of here" because she

was gonna fight again, and she

punched me in the face,

and it's totally fine.

It was by mistake.

We talked later, cleared the

air, and we really

connected you know?

She's got this boyfriend, you

know, that's a real jerk,

but she is awesome. She looks

awesome. She sounds awesome.

She smells awesome.

You're still in love

with her, aren't you?

- Oh, Corey!

- Mmm okay.

I know, yeah, I.

Look, you saw her.

- Yeah.

- You survived.

- Yeah.

- Turn the page.

The last thing you need is to

damage all the positive strides

that you've made.

Hey, Julius, call

for you on line 2.

Do you hear me?

Hm?

Loud and clear, Dr. Hayden.

Loud and clear.

I get that I'm getting a

little ahead of myself

with the mock ups.

I do, you know.

But I got two days,

really, you know.

Because after this machina day

ceremony, she's gone, you know,

and I-so I gotta get it

together quick,

and it's gotta be big.

And I can't do that alone.

You know, and I figured you know

wrestling, right, and everybody

knows you and so

could, could you help?

She could have her

retirement match

anywhere in the world, right?

Yeah.

Why the hell would

she wanna do it here?

Well, I... look, I get it, but

it... we talked last night, and,

you know, she got, like, really

sentimental about her career,

and she got, like...

Wait a minute.

Sad, actually.

You were actually

talking to her?

Actually, we hung

out at the pavilion.

It was cool.

Smooth, buds.

You're smooth.

So did you climb her beanstalk?

Climb the old-oh, no, whoa.

No, no, no.

No, nothing like that, no.

We just, we just talked.

Look, I, I just know that

she really needs this,

you know, in my gut.

Sounds like what she really

needs is a good old foggy slam,

if you know what I mean.

Yeah, know what you

mean. I get it.

Go for a figure-four leg lock.

Make her tap out.

Make her show you

her Boston crab.

Okay, that's really funny.

Deliver her a

vietnamese Jewel press.

You wanna stop now?

Wait. Pile drive her.

Okay, all right, okay.

I'm just, I'm trying to

reconnect with her man,

you know?

And I don't know where this

opportunity's gonna go exactly.

I just, I don't want

it to blow by me.

That's all.

And the longer you

keep her in town,

the more we get to hang out.

And then her love for the

downward tingles touches your

penis, and she stays forever.

Something like that.

Never gonna work.

Never.

I mean, we're talking

about sheena de wilde.

You are, like, you know, buds.

The odds are...

I am aware of the odds, yeah.

Hold up.

I didn't say I wouldn't do it.

I'll get to work on

some ideas right now.

Really?

Yeah, for 165 bucks.

165 bucks?

That's right.

Rent's a little steep, you

know, and you're the one

who came to me.

Well, yeah, I know I came to

you, but I work in a deli.

Yeah, I want it in cash.

Now.

Oh, hey, angel.

I was just wondering if

oh, my. What are you.. Ow.

What-okay, ow, wait, okay.

I just have a quick question.

Sorry. Thought you were

going for my tips.

I'm sorry to interrupt...

Excuse me miss, I-I, I'm sorry

boy:
Hey, no cutting!

Corey:
Yeah, I won't.

I'll go to the back.

Reverse it like...

Like that kind of thing.

Anything you can think of,

throw it all in one pile.

I like where you're

goin' with that.

You like these posters?

They're the only

things I have planned.

Wa, whoa-what are you doing?

You scared the crap outta me!

I've been hearing things.

What... what, what things?

Like you. Renting out

the pavilion.

What's next? Ask

her out?

Date her? Marry

her forever?

How do you know everything?

Male voice:
Ah sh*t!

Mom:
It's just

Malcolm, all right?

He's helping me with hedges.

Just uh, helping

with the hedges.

That's cool, Malcolm.

Okay...

Mom; We are not going

through this again.

Yeah, I know.

Goodnight, Malcolm.

Night, Corey.

Partners in business, life true.

When I saw her perform, well

...she just takes your breath

away, doesn't she?

These hundreds of fans who

came out here today,

they feel the same

way that I do.

Her story's yet to be told.

- Hey.

- You made it.

Yeah, I did, yeah. Uh, thank

you for the invite.

The whole town was

invited... but you too.

Yeah...

I'm sure you're busy...

Hey, uh, actually I was

wondering have you put more

thought into doing the

retirement match here?

Cuz', if you did, I'm sure we

can get the pavilion...

Which would be... we'd

redo the whole thing.

We're actually looking into

some bigger opportunities

down south, Corey.

Chicago.

Maybe even Florida.

Yeah, but it'd be

great, you know,

I mean this whole

town would come.

Guarantee it, like

everybody you've ever met

would pack that house.

Oh, that's our cue.

Oh, okay, um, talk after?

- Yeah yeah.

- Okay. Cool.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's

have a big hometown welcome

sheena de wilde!

Thank you.

Fraud...

Fraudulent robot.

Reality check!

Who here thinks that living

the Los Angeles dream

has made her soft?

Crowd:
Ohhh!

Is this part of the deal?

You don't see me flying

around the world...

Getting my feet massaged...

Drinking cucumber smoothies.

You sure as hell don't see

me getting my opponents

hand-picked.

Just... just roll with it,

there might be a good spin.

Calling me out?

Easy payday.

Oh yeah? Easier than

your webcam gig?

Crowd:
Ohhh!

I saw that.

It's really nice stuff.

Let's dance bean pole..

Luke, I don't know what the hell

happened, man, big problem.

Big problem!

Luke, I called you

like three hours ago man.

Easy, broseph, all right?
