I can't wait.

We can get you up any time.

We're gonna clean up this side

and then we'll go on

and do the right.

We'll be just as quick, and...

I wanna have it signed.

- Less pain. Okay...

- Yeah, yeah.

...but at least you know

what to expect.

Right.

They've asked him to go out

on the ice and wave the flag.

Jonny Gomes

coming to the plate here

- for the Red Sox.

- Let's go, Jonny!

Get us a f***in' hit.

Be one to one now.

Don't swing at that sh*t.

Let that sh*t go.

Gomes with a special bat in hand,

to remember the victims

- of the Marathon...

- Hey, Jeff!

You hear that?

His bat says "Boston Strong."

Hey, leave him be.

He's snappin' a deuce.

No, no, no, no, no!

God damn it.

Not too good, huh?

No, he fouled up.

After everything

we've been through?

Haven't we suffered enough?

Hey, so is he gonna do it?

Oh, I dunno. He's nervous.

He's nervous about what?

Jeff, we heard

about the Bruins game!

Sounds pretty cool, bro.

They're gonna give us box seats.

Wait, us?

Said we could

bring the whole crew.

- Yo, you gotta do this, Jeff!

- Free drinks!

The Bruins need ya!

Don't be a p*ssy, bro!

Sh*t. Ow!

What kinda food they got?

All-you-can-eat.

It's all-you-can-eat, Jeff.

Come on, man...

...stop being selfish about this sh*t.

Is that my phone?

Hello?

- Smells delicious, Ma.

- Thank you.

- Dad, I'm gonna sit with you.

- Sure.

E-Money.

What're you doin'?

Uh, talkin' to you.

What are you doin'?

Dancin'.

Hey, let me just

step out of the club.

- What?

- Can you hear me now?

Yeah, I can hear you.

How you doin'?

Yeah, you know.

Hey, so I hope...

I hope... I hope

I didn't get ya at a bad time,

but I, uh, you know,

it's the, uh,

Bruins playoff game

against Chicago next week,

and they asked me

to come out there on the ice.

On the ice?

Yeah, I'm not, like, on the...

Not to play,

but, y'know,

to be the banner captain

and, like,

wave the flag and sh*t.

It's kind of like

singin' the national anthem,

but for people

who suck at singing.

You sure you wanna do that?

Well, everybody says I should.

It's the Stanley Cup, so...

Listen, Erin, I...

I know we're not together, but...

I was just, um...

I was wondering

if maybe you wanted

to come with me and my family.

I don't think that

I could do it without you.

And I know that

it's not really fair of me to say.

I'm really...

I'm sorry, um...

But I...

I really need you right now.

And, uh, please.

Okay. Yeah.

During tonight's warm-up,

we would like to invite you

to purchase

raffle tickets

for the Boston Bruins...

Hey, they had

that Carlos "cowboy hat" guy

all over the news last night.

Jeff, he told the story,

and I was f***in' bawlin'.

- Big JEFF:
You all right?

- Yeah...

Gonna squeeze through

and get outta your way...

- Mom's way here.

- Oh, thank you.

Let's go, Boston!

All right!

Okay, a toast, a toast!

You cool?

Yeah, I'm good.

Know why

they call Chicago the windy city?

'Cause you guys blow!

- Do you have a smoke?

- Oh, oh.

Jeff, we'd like to, uh,

stage you sooner.

- Oh, yeah.

- If that's all right.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- All right.

- Let's do this!

- They're goin' now!

And now...

Ooh, big crowd out there.

Completely full tonight.

Hey, don't be nervous.

How are you doin', Jeff?

- Yeah, I'm great.

- You okay?

Just stop here.

- I'm gonna get the flag.

- Yeah.

Here's the flag, Jeff.

I'm gonna be standin'

right over there,

and then I'm gonna signal you

when to come out, okay?

All right? Have fun.

Have fun, okay? Get pumped.

Uh...

I don't think I can do this, E.

Jeff, look,

it's gonna be okay.

You just wave the flag.

And then you leave. Right?

Okay, Jeff,

that's your cue. Get out there.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to TD Garden

and game two of the NHL playoffs.

Please give

a warm Boston welcome

to tonight's honorary

fan banner captain,

Jeff Bauman!

Jeff's continued strength

and perseverance

in the face of adversity

represents all that is...

Boston Strong!

Go, Jeffrey!

Whoo!

I'm gonna get you

out of here.

Get away from me.

Get the f*** away from me.

- Jeff...

- Get away from me.

Get away from me!

You stay calm.

You stay calm,

you help somebody else.

Babe.

- Hey. What...

- Get away from me!

- Jeff!

- Get the f*** away from me.

Go help somebody else!

Go help somebody else!

You stay calm!

You stay calm!

You stay calm

and go help somebody else.

I'm sorry.

You need to tell your family

what's going on with you.

No, no.

Believe me, it's better

if they don't know. Trust me.

They keep trying to make

a hero out of me.

Does it hurt?

No.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

I'm here, Jeff. I'm here.

I'm here.

Did you have sex with my son?

Yeah.

Don't you think...

Shouldn't you be leanin' on me?

Hmm?

I wish you were leanin' on me.

I'm just happy to be

sitting here with you.

They are so futuristic,

aren't they, Jeffrey?

Grieg:

What you have is a Genium knee.

Genium is a microprocessing,

top-of-the-line, high-tech knee.

Two carbon fiber sockets

with suction suspension.

Deep breath as you go up.

And, like, you know,

you just gotta work, like,

you know, your core strength

and everything,

and then you gotta

stand up on 'em

and get your balance right.

But they're, like...

They have...

They're like feet.

They are like feet and legs.

And, like,

they're attached to shoes.

Mm-hmm.

And you can just, like...

Were they cool?

I'm gonna walk.

You know, I'm gonna walk

with you again someday.

- Read them at the same time.

- Go.

See if they link up.

- "Determination is...

- "Don't be hasty.

- "...the wake-up call...

- "Prosperity will knock...

- to the human will."

- ...on your door soon."

I didn't hear yours.

No, I didn't hear yours either.

Okay.

- I'm gonna get it.

- All right, keep going.

I'm not gonna help you.

You have to eat them to be real?

That's, like, a super-loud...

You have a super-loud crunch.

Arms up. Get those arms up.

Do you wanna,

I don't know, like,

come live with me or somethin'?

You serious?

Mm-hmm.

You have to tell Patty.

Yeah, I'll tell Patty today.

Okay.

She's so hungover,

she won't even remember, all right?

She won't remember.

We'll be living there

for two weeks.

We gotta f***in' celebrate.

Boston Strong!

...Jeff.

Boston Strong!

Big JEFF:
Jesus Christ. Oh, God.

Can you believe this sh*t?

We needed a win, Bob.

We needed a win.

How we supposed

to not take this personally?

Hey, you got a leaf in your drink.

It's a mint leaf.

- A mint, huh?

- It's a mojito.

You muddle

the lime and the mint.

You add sugar and ice,

and you pour

over rum, soda water.

You "muddle" it?

Yes, you muddle

the lime and the mint,

and then you add

the sugar and ice.

Hey, when we gonna

hear this big announcement?

- Yes, just tell us already.

- Oh, when the game's over.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Hey, so, Dale,

I need two burgers ready.

Um, you take that down,

that would be helpful.
