Really creepy. Just saying.

Kyle.

What the hell are you doing?

Making spaghetti.

Jesus, have you lost your mind?

No.

You can't just take him out of the home.

This is where he belongs.

No, honey, he needs to be at Oak Knoll.

We talked about this.

Yeah, we did.

I remember.

Listen to this.

"Mr. Flaherty:

Mr. Poplar wants to live at home.

Judge Lee:
You can do that, Mike?

Mr. Flaherty:
Yes, I can. Really. "

W haait? Whatt is this? Wlhaat?

It's true, isn't it?

Mike?

W haait is tlhis?

You're just like her.

Mike.

Kyle. Kyle!

Hey, Kyle. Hey,

will you hold on a second?

Don't touch me!

Oh:

Sh*t.

I'm sorry, come on.

I said, don't touch me!

Jesus. Okay.

Let me explain, okay?

Explain what?

How you lied to me?

How you lied to Leo?

No, that's not how it was, okay?

Then how was it, Mike?

Calm down. All right? Come on, man.

Calm down.

Watch the head fake.

I'm not gonna wrestle with you.

Hands up, hands up.

Stop t, okay?

Don't egg him on.

That's not helping.

It is. This kid's a good wrestler.

Calm down.

You see, I told you.

Stop it!

Okay, buddy, get to your base. Good.

Stop!

Mike, stop it!

Okay, buddy.

I'm trying to stop it!

Sit out, Mike!

Sit out!

Would you stop coaching and break it up?

Ow. Get the hell off me!

Break it up!

Kyle. Kyle.

Kyle! Aah.

Come on, get up. It's okay.

I- No, no, no.

I'm just the ref. I'm just the ref!

Just the ref!

Kyle!

Come on!

Kyle!

JACKIE:

Kyle!

Is this true, Mike?

Did you say this to the judge?

Yeah, I did.

So then why did you move him

if he wanted to stay here?

Because it would have been

too much work to leave him here.

Okay? I couldn't handle it.

Then you shouldn't have taken him.

I had to do it, alright?

Why?

Because I needed the money. Okay?

We need the money.

So you took some old man

out of his home to make money off him?

What, are you out of your freaking mind?

No. No!

I did not think that it would

get this complicated, okay?

Really? Or you just didn't think

you'd get caught?

Jack, where you going?

Home!

MAN:

Incoming call. Do you copy?

Incomlng call. Charlie Squadron taklng

heavy fire. Requesting air strike Bravo.

Do you copy?

Delta Squad, disengage target.

He o?

Hello, Mom?

He o?

Did your mom just crank-call you?

No.

So did you and coach get into a fight

because you lost?

No, we got in a fight

because he's an a**hole.

Really?

Yeah, really, Stem.

Well, I'm sure he'

make it up to you, bro.

You're the best wrestler he's ever had.

I mean, he's always been cooI to me,

and I suck.

Hi, Leo.

Hey.

I fell asleep. Ahem. I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?

Wanna go home, Leo?

Yes. I'd I ke that.

Hi.

Hi.

Where's Kyle?

He slept at Stemler's.

You?

Uh, Oak Knoll.

So, what are you gonna do?

I have to go to court.

No. you can't. You told the judge

you were keeping Leo at home.

I know.

Tell her you changed your mind

and he needs to be in a home.

No one could argue with that.

I can't do that.

Why not?

Because it's not true.

Oh, well, I'm glad you're done lying now.

Just in time to lose your practice.

That's how your family survives.

Did you ever think of that, Mike?

Yeah, all the time.

Sh*t.

I'm sorry, Jack.

I really am.

I know.

Hey, pal. How'd you get down here?

The window.

You hungry? I'm making pancakes.

I'm leaving. I just came to get my sh*t.

Right now?

Yeah.

Hey, Kyle.

L sten, I just wanna say I'm sorry.

I know, Mike, you're sorry.

Everyone's always sorry.

I'm moving Leo back home, Kyle. and I'm

gonna fight to make sure that he stays there.

It's too late, you'll ose.

My mother's gonna take him.

Maybe, but I'm st gonna try.

So what? You want me to forgive you now,

is that it, Mike?

No, I just want you

to give me another chance.

This is bullshit!

Hey, Kyle, I sten-

I want to be a one.

What?

I just wanna be down here alone.

Okay. All right. Yeah.

Kyle, I just wanna say we love you.

Hey, guys.

Hey.

Hey, Mr. Poplar.

Good to see you.

Jackie.

Hey.

How's it going?

What are you doing here?

Dude, I'm your assistant coach.

Just notice who isn't here.

Aha.

Ah. Hey, Mike?

Hey, Eleanor.

Can I talk to you?

Uh, sure. Hold on, okay?

You know the transcript alone

is enough to hang you.

Yeah, well, we'll see what happens.

Shame on you, counselor.

Is that it?

No, my client would like to talk to you.

Hi.

Is your deal still available?

What about Kyle?

He can stay.

Then, yes, it is.

And you' send me the checks?

Every month.

I will take a banana daiquiri, please.

All right.

Would you like an umbrella with that?

No, thank you, but keep those coming.

Okay.

So how you doing, pal?

Me?

I'm pretty good.

I was driftin', cryin'

I'll pull the devll down wlth me

One way or another

I'm out of my mind

Think you can wait?

I'm the way off the line

Think you can wait?

We've been runnin' a sleepless run

Been away from the baby way too long

We've been holdin' a good-nlght gun

We've been losin' our exits one by one

I'm out of my mind

Think you can wait?

I'm way off the line

Thlnk you can wait it out?

All I have Is all

Thlnk you can wait it out?

All I have Is all

Think you can wait?

What I'm thlnkin' is simple

I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple

And I won't make trouble

I'll pull the devll down wlth me

One way or another

We've been runnin'a sleepless run

Been away from the baby way too long

We've been holdin' a good-night gun

We've been losin' our exits one by one

I'll try

I'll try

But I couldn't be better

All I have Is all

I'll try

But I couldn't be better

All I have Is all

I'll try

But I couldn't be better

All I have Is all
