The Love Guru Page #4
- I like it.
That was a good one.
One game suspension, Roanoke!
Way to go, Roanoke! You jag-off!
- Him, too?
- Anyone for any reason.
I love my job!
- Two games!
- Now, it's a two-game suspension.
That would mean Roanoke
would be out for game two and three!
He could play in game four.
Of course, we don't know
if we're going to game five!
Two and three, out,
can't play in the game.
He could watch the game at home,
but he can't play!
He can pretend to play
while he's at home,
but he cannot play on the ice
in the game that we're watching,
which is after this game,
'cause we're in game one.
You have a firm grasp of the obvious.
How could he do that?
Are you all right?
I'd like to thank the Academy.
Wow, these things are heavy. Yeah.
- Put me down, A-hole!
- Okay.
And the Kings take the first game
of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Damn it!
Cherkov, relax!
- Now, everyone, let's just take a seat.
- Okay.
First of all, let's agree next time
we decide to have a group meeting,
we take it in my office.
Now, Guru Pitka here
obviously has a plan.
So, Guru, enlighten us.
What is your plan?
Frankly, this is completely unexpected,
and I'm scared shitless.
- No, no!
- Let me at him!
- Take it easy, Frodo.
- No! Get back! No!
No! No!
Hippie queer!
- Throw a hex on you.
- Okay, okay.
Isn't there any way
that you could skip a step or two?
No way!
With Drama, there is no shortcuts.
We must now
take him back to his childhood.
- His childhood?
- Yes.
His mother only lives an hour away,
but he won't allow her
to go to the games.
Interesting.
He won't allow his mother
to come to any of his games!
Come, Rajneesh, a breakthrough!
Little help, please!
Okay. All right.
- You're leaving?
- Yes.
- Where are you going?
- To see Darren.
Jane, I promise you,
everything will be fine.
Come by my ashram, then I will explain.
Coach Cherkov, I would invite you,
but I know you have your meeting
with the Lollipop Guild.
Why won't you let your mother come to
any of your hockey games?
'Cause, man,
I don't play well around her, man.
She freaks me out.
Then tomorrow we will go to her!
- Oh, hell no! Oh, hell no!
- Oh, hells yes!
- Yeah.
- This ain't Driving Miss Daisy, man.
I'll break your fingers.
Okay. Yo, this my street right here.
- Tonawanda Street.
- Tonawanda Street?
I know this street.
- You do?
- Yes.
- At what number did you live?
- Fifty-three.
Do you know a Dickie Withers at 85?
- No.
- Well, it does.
I own you! Yeah!
Yeah! You are laughing!
You see, you're filled with joy of a child!
You are now ready to meet your ma.
I'm warning you, GP, my mom's tough.
Oh, please. How bad can she be?
Raise it up and make a joyful noise
Oh, I shall not be moved
- No, no, no, no
- No, I shall not be moved
No, no
Lead me to your rock
Where I shall not be
I shall not be moved
Remember, Darren,
you must stand up to her.
Got it.
- Baby boy.
- Oh, Mom.
Now, why won't you let your ma
come see you play?
It's just that you're not always
the most supportive, Ma.
Supportive?
Pressure makes diamonds.
Pressure also makes rubble.
And after a good whipping,
cream rises to the top.
So does scum!
- You're the Guru Pitka.
- Yes, I am.
You're like
the poor man's Deepak Chopra.
Game over.
- Oh, Mom, don't, don't.
- Do you have something to say to me?
Yes, you do. Yes, go ahead.
Yes.
You change your hair color?
'Cause it looks nice.
We'll talk in the car.
Well, this was fun.
And by fun, of course
I mean emotionally scarring.
I know you are not trying to tell me
how to raise my child.
Gotta go.
- Superstar! Superstar, wait!
- Whoa!
Look at you. You're jumpy.
You're like prison b*tch jumpy.
I told you that
we shouldn't have come here.
No, no, no, no, no.
We have to go back in there
and confront your mother.
There has to be another way.
Well, I hear you rappin'
Sister McCrappin'.
Okay, there are two ways
to regress you.
One involves your mother,
your shame core,
and a grueling process
of intense self-examination.
- What's the other way?
- Well...
What does this sound like?
with my cup.
I'm regressing you.
Someone's in here. Someone's in here!
Yes. You are laughing!
Why am I laughing, man?
Look what you did to my jacket.
Ball-gazer!
Go ahead!
You bastard.
You totally caught me in a ball-gaze.
Congratulations,
you have been regressed.
I own you!
- Yes, you own me.
- That was easy.
But with ownership
comes responsibility.
It was at this point that I realized
that my student
was finally shedding his defenses.
What are you doing?
He said while eating a chicken wing.
I am talking into my voice-over machine.
So, the Leafs lose game two
by a whopping six-to-one score.
The Leafs look rattled without Roanoke.
- It's Darren Roanoke.
- You mean Roan-choke more like.
That's great. Nice hat.
- I had a hat like that once.
- Yeah?
Then my mom got a job.
Looks like I'm gonna have to shove
these love beads someplace special.
You got a problem?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Let me handle this.
There are two things about violence
they teach you when becoming a guru.
an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
The second thing is,
never ever watch the bottle.
You son of a b*tch!
It's a bar fight!
Down, down!
Watch out!
- Well done!
- Nice job!
Hold on, hold on.
Niagara Falls is amazing.
Darren.
Just because
when you achieved
doesn't mean that Prudence will
only love you when you achieve.
I was afraid
if I didn't win the Stanley Cup,
- so I left Prudence first.
- That's it!
However, we must
confront your mother.
to stand up to my ma.
- I know.
- I miss Prudence.
I miss the connection.
- Connection.
- Yeah.
Making love.
Falling asleep in each other's arms.
Sometimes we would wake up
and it'd be like we were
the only two people in the world.
Prudence would stare into my eyes,
and she'd say...
- Damn.
- Damn.
It sort of became our song.
You are a very lucky man.
I would like to have
a"damn" moment like that someday.
How can you be the Love Guru
if you've never been in a relationship?
Well, there is someone I like.
But until I learn to love myself,
I can only go out
- Yeah.
Ann Visible, Ann Flatable, and Ann Job.
Ann Job!
Well, you know,
I deflect because of the pain.
I gotta get my girl back, GP.
Otherwise,
what am I gonna do with this?
I have two tattoos.
One tattoo is the Drama tattoo,
which signifies
the self-determinist philosophy
of the Tugginmypudha Ashram.
And what's the other tattoo?
Daffy Duck pushing a lawn mower
through my pubes.
Look, he's dancing. Yeah. Right.
Ball-gazer! Oh, my God! There you go!
The ball-gazing student
has become the ball-gazing master.
