crazy bushy eyebrows.

But it was real, you know?

Yeah. Yes, I do.

And then he looked at me and he said,

"Go be, Popo." Just like that.

"Go be."

Wow. That is, that is deep.

I'm so sorry.

I have to take this. It's the boys.

Hey. What's up, Amit?

What?

Why did you drink the punch

if you don't drink alcohol?

I didn't know it was alcohol, JB sir.

I'm... I'm sorry.

JB sir, can you slow it down, please?

- I'm not feeling very good.

- That's too bad.

I was in the middle of

something very important.

And for the record,

I don't care that you drank alcohol.

I just care that you then decided to go

swimming in someones fountain.

- I don't feel too good, JB sir.

- Did you drink, too?

- I ate too much.

- Well, I'm not slowing down.

I've gotta get back to that party.

JB sir,

I think I'm going to...

No, no, don't you dare!

Do not... No!

That's better.

Could we have some water?

Thanks. Sorry.

- There we go. Congrats.

- Thank you.

What's going on here?

JB.

This is just business.

Go to bed.

- I am sorry, JB sir.

- What?

- Sorry.

- You're sorry?

You're sorry that

I just lost my biggest client in years

because you guys decided

to wander off and trespass

on someone's

private property, swim in their fountain

and, oh, yeah, oh, yeah,

puke on me, twice!

Shush! You can translate it later.

How about instead of being sorry,

you guys do what you were

brought here to do,

which is learn the game?

Which, according to Mr. House,

you're not even close to doing that.

So go to bed.

And no more TV. Ever.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Had a bad night.

Yeah, I see that.

Do you want a beer?

I don't know how much

longer I can do this.

I was supposed to run a contest,

not become a primary caregiver.

My house is a mess, the pool is filthy,

my car smells like puke.

I'm late to everything.

I can't even spell sex.

You sound like every one

of my married friends.

But I'm not married.

I don't wanna be married.

All right, Mr. Sensitive.

I think you just

need to accept the fact that

your life's gonna

be different for a couple of months.

And then it's gonna go back

to your old life.

Yeah, but there may not be

an old life to go back to

if this doesn't work out.

That's what you don't understand.

This thing, these kids...

This is my last best shot.

Come on. You got your big house,

your fancy car. You're gonna be fine.

No, I am miles away from fine.

All this stuff is

from my old life, when I made money,

before I stupidly decided

to go out on my own.

I can barely pay my bills.

- Really?

- Really.

Sorry.

Okay, so if they're your last shot,

then don't you think

you should be paying

a little more attention to 'em?

I mean, it's not like

it's easy for these guys, you know.

They're far from home.

They miss their families.

- How do you know all this?

- 'Cause they told me.

You talk to them?

Yeah, I talk to them.

They just need to see that you care.

Yeah, maybe I need to create a...

Create a better environment

for their success.

Something like that, yeah.

You just need to commit

to it and then you'll figure out the rest.

Speaking of committing, how is Mike?

- Mark.

- Mark.

We broke up.

To committing.

To committing.

How we doing?

Amit, Amit, Amit.

Five. All right, and again. Cross it over.

That's a lot.

Today I consider myself

the luckiest man

on the face of the Earth.

This is the saddest

movie I've ever seen.

How are you not crying right now?

I cried the first 35 times I watched it.

Right.

Oh, boy, these guys are...

They're wiped. They're done.

They've been working very hard.

- Where's Amit?

- He's compiling his notes.

He wants to coach baseball.

Either that or he's starting

an outsource center.

I can't determine which. There's a lot of

activity happening in that room.

- Stop.

- It's a great idea.

It's the first in-country outsource center.

That is hilarious.

Shh.

You shh. You shh.

Do you... Do you wanna get a drink?

Come on in.

All right, so this should impress you.

- Wow.

- Yeah. No, I know.

I know. It's a bit messy.

I just have not a lot of time to organize

because I'm either going to the hospital

or I'm coming back

from running or yoga.

Hey, The Taj has

some prime real estate.

Yeah, I love my mini Taj.

Scotch okay?

Fine.

Great.

Who are these fine ladies?

Oh, those are my sisters.

- Yeah, I've got five.

- Five?

- Yeah.

- Wow. I didn't know that.

Well, before India,

we never really talked, you know.

Yeah, why is that?

Well, I don't wanna offend you,

but I just never was really

interested in talking to you.

I am offended.

Don't be.

You're just... You're just

different than you were before.

I don't feel different.

Really? 'Cause your Porsche

looks like a minivan.

Minivans are the new black.

See? It's good. This whole

alternative family thing

looks good on you.

I mean, it's changed you.

How has it changed me?

I don't wanna ruin it.

I'm having too much fun watching.

Come on, tell me.

Tell me how it's changed me.

Well, that was more than just watching.

Yes, it was.

Good morning, Mr. JB sir.

Very good morning, Mr. JB sir.

Hello.

Leaving in 20 minutes, guys.

All right, go ahead.

Say it.

Sir, we need to know

when you're going to marry Ms. Brenda.

- Yes.

- No, guys.

This is not what you ask in America.

What do you ask?

You would say,

"How far did you get with Ms. Brenda?"

You traveled with her?

No, no, no, it's not a distance.

It's, like,

physically, like, "Did you kiss her?"

- Like...

- Huh?

But that's private, no, sir?

Yes, it is private. Thank you.

I think you should marry Ms. Brenda.

Even I also think.

Yes, sir. You are old.

You should marry her, start family...

Number one, lam not old.

You're a little bit old.

Hey. Number two,

just because I've slept over at her house

doesn't mean I have to marry her.

Mmm...

Did you kiss Ms. Brenda?

No.

- She kissed me.

- Oh!

Oh, JB sir!

Oh, my God!

Yeah, well, enjoy the game, Mike,

and I'll have Aash

follow up with you on that.

You got it, pal. Bye.

JB, it's Chang.

Tell him I'm not here.

He's pushing for a tryout

and we need to stall, stall, stall.

That might be tricky.

Their progress has been...

Remarkable.

- Yeah. Yep. Amazing.

By my calendar, we should hold the

tryout in three weeks, right?

Uh, Well,

you know, to be honest,

even given their remarkable progress,

they could probably use

a little more time.

We could all benefit

from more time, Mr. Bernstein,

but it wasn't our agreement, was it?

No.

So are you gonna honor

our agreement or not?

Absolutely.

They will be ready in three weeks.

Excellent.

Horse crap! We had a deal.

We were gonna do this right.

We are! This way

we get maximum exposure.

ESPN, Sports Illustrated,

NBC, ABC, they're all gonna be there.

I mean right by Rinku and Dinesh.

They're not ready

for this kind of pressure.

Tom, every scout

in the Major Leagues will be in Tempe

- for the November meetings.

- Well, that's my point.
