but the actual inner child

that lives inside of me.

Got decapitated.

Head flew up, did flips in the

air, blood spurting everywhere.

Hoagie, Jerry has

a perfect record

and we're a team now.

The winning team.

And I just feel like, Hoagie,

if you're gonna play

a children's game

as a grown man,

maybe next time

don't play like a child.

Anyways, I am really excited

you guys are here.

Try the raw bar.

It's off the hook.

It's my wedding!

I'm getting married!

- Congratulations.

- Come on! Grab it!

I take back everything I said

about her being effervescent.

I met Jerry in AA.

You see, people,

I got a lot of problems.

Anger issues, I left my wife,

I have many kids.

And this man got me

to turn to the cloth.

It was a low point in my life.

There was jail time involved.

I briefly converted to Islam.

I lost a long legal battle

with Jo-Ann Fabrics.

During that time I got to know

Jerry and Susan as a couple.

And that is a true blessing.

What's the difference between

Episcopalian and Lutheran?

Episcopalians don't eat fish.

That's pescatarian.

That's not a religion.

They're all fanatics.

I don't know.

Remind me again,

is it on the kiss

or after they walk back

down the aisle?

Seriously? You said you'd

worked weddings before.

The kiss, the doves,

end of ceremony,

the groom was very specific

about this.

PASTOR:
...and finds new ways

of expressing love

through the ups

and downs of life.

Susan, do you take Jerry

to be your husband?

Do you promise to love, honor,

cherish and protect him,

forsaking all others, holding

only to him, forever more?

I do.

Beautiful.

(WHISPERS)

There's gonna be a window.

- What, sweetie?

- The doves.

What about the doves?

There's an opening.

Just relax, honey.

You seem stressed.

Jerry, do you take Susan

to be your wife?

Do you promise to love, honor,

cherish and protect her,

forsaking all others, holding

only to her, forever more?

I do.

I mean, this is actually

kind of beautiful.

It really is, man.

I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

(CROWD CLAPPING)

(GASPS)

(SCREAMS)

(GRUNTS)

JERRY:
Hoagie!

SABLE:
Go, go, go!

- Oh, God! Guys, go!

- Hoagie! You okay?

Jesus.

Hey, man.

Buddy?

- You scared away the swans.

- Hoagie?

- Hogan? Hogan.

- Hoagie!

I can't believe that you guys did this.

Right now.

Well, I don't think you get to claim the

moral high ground over us, actually.

Yeah, you're not better

than us.

You and your wife pretended to

have a goddamn miscarriage...

Misunderstanding!

Misunderstanding.

- BOB:
Misunderstanding.

- In her vagina.

Wow. Oh, boy.

Guys, call a doctor!

- ANNA:
Can you hear me?

- Buddy?

- Hey!

- Somebody get a doctor!

- Bud?

- He's gone full loss of consciousness.

That's impressive.

- Even better than your performance. Right?

- I know! It's so good!

Excuse me, everyone,

everything's fine.

Uh... This is all just a game.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMEN OVER PA)

He's still unconscious,

but he's stable.

He really should never have been

this active given his condition.

- You can see him when he wakes up.

- Thanks.

I got this.

Excuse me, Doctor.

Hey, how are ya?

- Yeah.

- Dr. Yoon, is it?

- Yes.

- How do you spell that?

- You're looking right at it.

- I know, but I'm just asking you.

What exactly

are you asking me?

My friends and I do this thing,

it's this really weird game.

Is there any chance this is all

fake, that you could just tell me.

I won't tell the others.

Is this fake?

- This hospital?

- The whole thing, yeah. Is it fake?

That's the dumbest thing

I've ever heard.

He told you to say that,

right?

- Look, I gotta prep a surgery.

- Will you just do me one quick favor?

Could you recite

the Hippocratic Oath for me?

That's not a thing

doctors memorize.

Still unsure.

It's gonna be fine.

It's just, it was a lot.

How does that all happen

at a wedding?

Hey, boss.

How did that go?

I'm all turned around.

About what?

If he's an actor

or if he's not.

He's not. He's a doctor.

We're in a hospital.

You're drinking the Kool-Aid.

(SIGHS)

All right. What do we do?

Look, Chilli, what's wrong with you?

Just go talk to the girl.

Could be a trap.

She's here for a friend

who is in the hospital. Okay?

You know I'm right.

I'm always right.

Okay, you're right about this,

but you are not always right.

- Buddy, I'm always right, and you know that it's true.

- Bob, you're not always right.

- 100%...

- 1989.

Oh, come on.

Ken Griffey, Jr. enters the

league, and what do you say?

He will never be

as good as his father.

And he's better

than his father.

- Where are the rings?

- You are so wrong!

The historical record

has proven that I am right.

You know what? Time will tell.

You will never admit that you

are wrong about anything.

Come on, it's been a while

since we've done this.

Come here, man.

This was a fun few days, man.

- I really missed you.

- I missed you, too, man.

- You want a breath mint?

- No, I don't want a breath mint.

- Stop it.

- You want a breath mint?

I would love a breath mint. I

got a gross taste in my mouth.

Hey, mind if I sit?

No.

Thanks for coming.

- I hope he's okay.

- Yeah, me, too.

Um...

I don't know if that...

We're in a hospital and...

- You know?

- Yes.

My friend is possibly dying.

But it feels like a time I need

to tell you how I feel about you

and I am so pumped

that your husband's dead.

- No.

- No.

But I'm really happy

to see you, Cheryl.

You are broke

and divorced and,

- just a f***ing mess, really.

- Yeah.

But it's fun to see you, too.

Good. All right.

I'll take that.

I actually think that...

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but I would see you again.

- For real?

- Yeah.

- Like a little date.

- No, definitely didn't say that.

- Like a dinner.

- Smaller than that.

- Like a lunch.

- How about a snack?

I'll take what I can get.

Hoagie, I know

you're f***ing with me.

I'm not. I've got a tumor on my

liver the size of my right nut.

Jesus.

Yeah.

I know you're f***ing with him but

what are you doing? What's the plan?

- Tell us what's going on.

- Chilli, there's no plan.

- What's going on?

- There's no plan, Chilli.

Stop winking at me.

Think it's real. This looks

like it's doing something.

Something real is happening

on this thing right here.

How long have you known this?

ANNA:
For three weeks.

Three weeks.

Right nut.

Too specific, I call bullshit.

That's a lie.

Right? It's a lie.

I'm not lying.

Although I did lie

about one thing.

Jerry's not quitting

at the end of the season.

What? Why the f***

would I quit?

Yeah, I said that

to get everyone together,

you know, for one last round.

Hoagie, tell me you are

f***ing joking about this.

Uh... No.

There is a decent chance I will

not be around for next season.

Damn.

BOB:
And, I mean, plus,

even if you were, you'd be,

- you know. Really slow.

- Yeah.

A total sitting duck.

Carrying an IV bag around,
