Garden State

Los Angeles Tower,

this is Transworld 22 Heavy.

We are going down!

Repeat, engines two and...

L.A. Tower, this is...

Mayday! Mayday!

22 Heavy, pull up! Pull up!

Andrew,

this is your father.

Hello?

Look, you don't call me back,

so I don't know how to do this.

If you're not gonna

return my calls...

then there's no way

for us to communicate...

Look, I don't know

how to do this...

but you're gonna need

to come home now.

Last night...

Your mother died

last night, Andrew.

She drowned.

Last night,

she drowned in the bath.

Ten rsums just today.

They come in every day

from Idaho or Milwaukee or Florida.

And you know what they want even more than

a guest spot on Everybody Loves Raymond?

They want your job. This cannot happen again.

This will never happen again.

You have two tables.

You are 30 minutes late.

And if I ever say this again,

your job will go to...

Todd Slauson

from Duluth, Minnesota.

Sparkling or flat?

Waiter 10,

do you have your earpiece in?

You forget the order 41

for Table 101.

What the f***, man?

What, are you on break?

Nah, I'm just

messin'with you.

Uh, we'll have four

Ketel Red Bulls and...

And I'll have a Ketel cosmo

with a Red Bull and some bread ASAP.

We don't have bread.

What do you mean?

How can you not have bread?

Uh, we're a Vietnamese restaurant.

We just don't have bread.

But you're

not Vietnamese.

No, I'm not.

Can I have something to chew on?

F***. Bamboo, whatever.

I'll see what I can find.

Waiter number 12...

Flight Number 121

with nonstop service...

to Newark International

will be departing from Gate 32.

Sh*t, yo.

Holy sh*t.

What's up, man?

Largeman, what are you

doing here?

Uh, that's my mom.

- F***.

- Oh, f***.

Sorry.

Yeah.

So, welcome back home.

Thanks.

So what have you

been doing?

You still, uh,

acting and sh*t, right?

- Yeah.

- L-In L.A., right?

- Yeah.

- That's cool.

I hear that place

is, like, f***ing crazy.

My cousin's a writer out there.

Says that place is mad crazy.

He's, like, writing a movie

about snowboarders or some sh*t.

I don't...

I don't know.

Um, but I should

introduce you to him, Largeman.

Maybe you two

could do something together.

Yeah, definitely.

What are you

doing tonight, man?

Uh, nothing.

No real plans.

I'm just in town

for a couple days, so...

You should

come out with us.

We're gonna go over the Gleasons' house.

They're having some...

f***ing huge party

or something.

- Supposedly.

- Well, yeah. Supposedly.

- Really?

- He lives up on the hill.

We'll probably go over there

after we bury your mom.

- Well, I got to shower.

- Same.

Do you know your mother

redid the hallway bathroom?

What?

I'm sorry. What?

Since I met her,

she never showed an interest in anything.

All of a sudden,

a month ago, she wakes up...

she wants to redecorate

a bathroom.

I helped her.

- Oh, must have been fun.

- Well, I sew.

I made you something.

It's a shirt.

That's... That's good.

Thank you.

Will you try it on now?

Now?

In case I have to fix it

before you leave again...

and we don't see you

for another nine years.

I wanna make sure it fits.

Oh. Okay.

You're gonna

love the material.

I used the leftovers from

your mother's design. Gorgeous.

Hi.

- Hello.

- How you doing?

"Well, besides that,

Mrs. Lincoln, how was the show?"

You know, I'm not really sure what

to say here, Dad, so I'm sorry.

Mm.

How are you?

I'm okay.

I've been getting these

really bad headaches though.

Um, they're really quick.

It's like a... just a little

lightning storm in my head.

Just for a second,

and then it's gone.

I just thought maybe you could help me

get that checked out while I'm home.

Go see Dr. Cohen

first thing in the morning.

He's a neurologist in my building.

I-I'll call him.

He'll fit you in. I'm sure it's

nothing to worry about.

Place looks good.

Oh, that's nice. Yeah, we've been

doing a lot of work on it.

Really?

Actually, no.

I don't know why I just said that.

Someone redid the, uh,

hallway bathroom. I saw that.

Yeah. That's new.

I'm glad you're here.

Saying good-bye

is important.

I'm glad you could

fit it in.

- Put your hands on your head, please.

- What?

I said put your motherfucking hands

on your head! Please.

Eighty-two in a 25.

What are you gonna tell me,

you're late or just tired?

- I was...

- Shut the f*** up!

- Largeman.

- Kenny?

Holy sh*t!

Oh, man.

How you doing?

I'm... I'm great.

- Your mom just died!

- I know.

- I mean, that's why you're home.

- Yeah. Yup.

You're a cop, Kenny?

- Yeah, I know. I know.

- Why?

I don't know. Couldn't think of

anything better to do.

No, but it's really cool

though, man.

People really

listen to you. I mean...

they have to!

- Yo, and check this sh*t out. That's the safety.

- Oh, cool.

And plus, the benefits, man.

If I get shot, I'm like...

rich!

But, Kenny, the last time I saw you,

you were doing coke lines off a urinal.

No, I had to grow up, man.

It's time to grow up. Plus, I wasn't

making sh*t in that fish market.

No one knew who I was,

couldn't get laid.

It's a much better

situation for me, man.

Speaking of which,

um, how'd I do?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

You know, just the whole...

You mean, like, as a cop?

Yeah. The whole,

"Shut the f*** up!"

Well, I thought you were a dick,

so I guess that's good.

Nice. So,

what the f***, man?

You're this huge movie star now?

I heard you did some...

you played a big football player

or something.

- I didn't see it.

- It was just this thing...

- F***ing De Niro and sh*t.

- What?

- He's awesome.

- Yeah.

- Deer Hunter?

- Yeah.

Man, we should sit down

and we should talk...

because I've got some

really good ideas for movies.

You could play me

and sh*t. Poof!

- Stories from the Force.

- Yeah.

Yeah, definitely. That sounds good.

- Holy sh*t!

- What's up?

- How you doing, man?

- How you doing, man?

- What's up?

- Hey, how you doing? Good to see you.

Get this guy a beer. This guy does not

wait for a beer. He's a movie star.

Like, uh, Jersey's

De Niro and sh*t.

- Largeman, man, what are you doing home?

- I, uh...

Press junket.

That's phat, yo.

F***, yeah!

Serpico and sh*t.

"Attica!"

Shut the f*** up, man.

You like that?

Like, uh,

"press junket"?

That's improv, b*tch.

You can use it. Right?

Okay. Let me

show you something.

Largeman! Oh, whoa!

What's going on, man?

How you been?

Hey!

- Jess. How are you, brother?

- How's it going, man?

I haven't seen you in so long.

I heard you're kicking ass.

Oh, um, basically the man

bought my silent Velcro patent.

- What?

- I developed this little item.

It's just like Velcro,

but it doesn't make that...

the Velcro noise.

- So how much did they buy it for?

- A lot, man.

Wow. So wh-what are you

doing with yourself?

Um, nothing.

Nothing.

I've never been so bored

in my whole life.

Yeah. First month I went out.

I bought a whole bunch of sh*t.

But, y...

Nothing.
