As of 2014, they have produced

81 Nobel laureates,

52 national medal

of science recipients,

and 38 MacArthur fellows,

so it is totally not played out.

Okay? And i...

Belong there.

Listen, Ryan, I'm not sure

what the future holds

for either one of us, man,

but I know yours

isn't here, dude.

I love you and I'm proud of you.

You gotta go.

Thanks, man.

Okay.

It's cream soda.

I was recording that.

I'm gonna save this now.

- This is great.

- Thank you.

Check you out.

I can't believe it.

It actually didn't

sound terrible.

Well, this calls

for a little celebration.

How about a bottle of '79 Dom?

Sure.

If they don't have it,

will a bud light do?

Even better.

Ugh! They gonna play

this oomph-oomph sh*t all night?

Oh, like the music the girl

you're hitting on makes?

Aww. Are you sad I stole her

from your little friend?

You guys are hilarious.

Do you really think

that a guy like Ryan

stands a chance

with a girl like Carly?

A guy like Ryan stands

a chance with whoever

- or whatever he wants.

- You're so cute.

Wish I had a little

Jeremy pillow pet

so we could cuddle

all night long.

And I wish I had a tube sock

with your face on it,

so I could spray semen

down your cottonflo.

Burn.

I think I'm falling

in hate with you.

I did not see that coming.

Neither did I.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

Just thinking about old times.

Good times.

Brady, are you hiring me

because I'm a good employee,

or because you wanna

hook up with me?

Do I have to choose?

Excuse me, that's it.

Underdog!

You made it.

Can I talk to you for a second?

This again? Dude,

the street lights are on,

you'd better get home.

Don't wanna wake up

your mom and Gary, do you?

- Oh, that's it. It's go time.

- Run, now!

Move, Benihana.

Ryan!

Why the hell did you do that?

Oh, my bad. Thought I was

looking out for my friend.

Where are you?

Sh*t. I'm sorry.

Okay?

You've always been

honest with me,

even when I didn't

wanna here it.

Well, not always.

I've kinda been taking classes

in acupuncture

and massage therapy.

That's great.

That's great.

Why didn't you tell me?

I thought you'd make fun of me.

Just another one

of my stupid schemes.

Is that how I make you feel?

Sometimes.

It's not easy being sidekick

to a boy genius, you know?

Yeah, right.

Some genius.

I mean, look at me.

I blew it.

No, you didn't.

You are going to get everything

you want and then some.

The only one who doesn't

know it yet is you.

So you're really

gonna become a masseuse?

Yeah.

Come here.

Oh!

- How's the pressure?

- That's interesting.

And that's your c7.

- Okay. -Yeah, it's

a trigger point.

Now if I go a little bit deeper

- in the deltoid...

- Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

That's weird. These are

Gary's repair sales.

Were.

Brady must have shredded them.

Why?

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god, that's it!

He wanted them off the books.

No wonder we've been coming up

short almost every quarter.

Brady hasn't been

including the repair sales

in his report,

he's been pocketing it.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I mean, I mean, I guess,

I mean look at this.

There's gotta be over

like 15 grand here.

But how can you prove it?

It's all backed up on the cloud.

I just gotta get inside

and then access it.

Oh, no, you can't

go back in there.

He'll kill you.

I've got it.

Okay, so this will

crack Brady's code.

It will alert him

and it will take a while.

I'll go distract him.

No, I've got this.

- What are you doing? -Something

I'll probably regret.

Yeah, hey, mom?

Yeah, can you pick me up?

Can you believe this sh*t?

Yeah, I can.

- Brady, what are you doing?

- Shut it, breakfast club.

This doesn't concern you.

- Oh.

- Yes!

Home run, b*tches!

Oh, come on.

I didn't hit him.

It was a sweet cut.

Carly, don't be an idiot.

You'd really choose that

over a job?

I didn't know I had to choose.

What are you looking at?

I'm right here.

Brady, stop!

Oh, relax.

It was just a little poke.

Whoa! League of our own has

a little fight in her.

Guess this counts

as self defense.

Ryan, it worked! All the money

Brady stole, I got it right here.

Stole?

What was I supposed to do

all of Gary's work for free?

I earned that money.

Wait! What's

Brady Krane doing?

Talk about out of position.

Oh, my god, did you see that?

Krane tried to snatch the ball

from his own teammate.

He's like...

He's like a hawk.

Yeah.

Career ending injury

is just hilarious, isn't it?

You know, I should

have been retired by now,

but instead I have to deal

with you losers.

You know what, screw this.

Screw all of you.

Ooh, man.

Knock it out.

Oh, what does that mean?

I called him child

of illegal lottery.

Trust me, it's bad.

Is that CY?

- Cyrus -how are you,

Henry, my friend?

Sorry it took me

so long to get here.

Some pisser named

Ryan called me.

Woke me up.

I told him to go to hell.

That is true, yeah.

So when he told me

what was going on

with you and the store,

well, say no more.

He was a bad boy.

Brady. Hey, wake up. Wake up.

What the hell's going on

around here?

I closed the store.

I did what you told me to do.

I told you to close a store,

not this one,

and I told you to speak

to Gary first

about maybe expanding

the repair side

- of the business.

- And what, fixing more crap?

Come on, CY, we're in

sales, not service.

Who says we can't be in both?

Sorry, hawk, your wings

have been clipped.

The condor is back in town.

That's bullshit.

So, that's it?

The store stays open?

Of course it does.

And we will, of course,

need a new regional

sales manager.

I'm sorry it took me

so long about that, Bubala.

It's okay. I should have

spoken up for what I wanted.

- Look, mom.

- Shut up.

You're going.

This is my musical, damn it,

and I want a happy ending.

- I love you, mom.

- I love you, too.

Okay.

Stop!

I was scared, okay?

What?

That's my secret.

I was scared to leave home.

Why?

Because I was afraid

that I would never meet

anyone I love

half as much as I love you.

Look, it's crazy, I know, and we

barely even know each other that well,

but this whole summer, I came

up with this crazy notion

of what it would be like

if you and I were together.

And then it got to the point

that I couldn't even imagine

being with anybody else but you.

And then...

And then today it...

God, it felt like it

actually happened.

We were...

We were together.

We were always together.

- Hi.

- Hey.

So what happens now?

I don't... I don't know. I haven't

ever thought this far through.

- We still have a week left.

- Eight days, actually.

How many minutes?

11,520.

- Seconds?

- 691,200.

Are you sure?

And then a cube like that.

Oh, you're... boy,

you're a genius.

I am a genius.

Yeah, I know, I said

I wouldn't do this anymore,

but I wanted to prepare you

for what you're about to see.

It probably isn't the happy

ending you were expecting,

or, I was expecting,

but I'm okay with that.

I think you will be, too.
