- Dwayne had presented
his final trade offer

to the prime minister,

and we were awaiting
her decision,

like two baby birds
waiting for their mother

to regurgitate a coffee deal
into their mouths.

- Randall,
you're making me nervous.

- Come on.
- Yeah. [sighs]

- [slurps]
[sighs]

This coffee is amazing.

I heard it was good, but damn.

Fingers crossed she ends up
biting on your trade deal,

because I haven't even had time
to look at the files

that Taft gave me.

I forgot my glasses.

- Good morning, Dwayne.
- Morning, Bibi.

- Mm-hmm.

[sighs]

So what do we do
if your plan doesn't work?

- Well, whatever she chooses,
I'll live with it.

I stepped into the arena,
and I gave it everything I had.

- I wish I had
your level of zen.

- Honestly, Randall,
this situation is nothing

compared to some
of the other things

I've been through.

Like back in 2000,
when I hosted

"Saturday Night Live"
for the first time.

Doing comedy on live TV

in front of millions
of people...

Bah! Bah! Bah!

[spitting] Bah!

Now that will test your zen.

Post-show, I was excited

to hear what Vince
and the boys thought.

They had joined me for a gag
during my monologue,

and then they watched the rest
of the show backstage.

- They finally smell
what The Rock is cooking.

- I improv'd that.
- Improv'd?

Look at Big Head
with the lingo.

[laughter]

- Oh, uh, are the grapes
for everyone?

Yeah, go for it, Mick.

It was all great, Dwayne.

Millions of non-wrestling fans
just watched

an hour and a half long
advertisement for the WWF.

[chuckles]
What could be better?

- I know.
And that's amazing.

I just meant, was I any good?

Isn't that what I just said?

Neediness is so unattractive.

- What they mean to say is,
we love you very much,

and we think you're handsome.

- Thank you, man.
- [laughs]

- Come on, dude.
You were great.

Thanks, brother.

"SNL" was
an amazing experience,

and I was still buzzing
the next day.

And then after the show,
we all went to this bar,

and Paul Simon
and Paul Shaffer showed up.

- So much talent
in such small bodies.

Was Garfunkel there?

I didn't see Garfunkel, no.

I hope he's OK.

- Hey, and I got
Chris Kattan's number.

- Oh, send him a message
and tell him we're big fans.

- Why don't you do it?
- Me?

- Yeah.
- I'll do it.

- Yeah.
- OK, who is Chris Catman?

Oh, Mom, you know.

He's the one who does
all the characters.

- You were so funny
on the show, babe.

Oh, thank you.

It felt so good
to be on that stage,

holding my own
with these comedy legends.

- [laughs]
- You know, I think

I can really do
this acting thing.

- Hey, I'm all in on you
doing a Mr. Peepers movie.

Uh, no.

Those apples were
too tough on my teeth.

[both laugh]
But something like that.

My phone's been going nuts

with people calling
to congratulate me,

and not just
from friends, either.

I've got, like, 25 voice mails
from random numbers.

- Well, why don't you
let me help you?

I'll listen to them
and follow up.

- Really?
- I'm an amazing partner.

What can I say?
[chuckles]

Plus, you have
so much on your plate

with WrestleMania coming up.

Thanks, babe.

How is this my life--

hosting "SNL,"
headlining WrestleMania?

- Not to mention
buying our first house.

The offer got accepted?

- Mm-hmm.
Closing in a couple days.

- [laughing]
- Oh, that's amazing.

Oh, honey?

Chris Kattan seems upset

that Mom didn't know
who he was.

I thought he was the fat one.

[laughs]

Couple of weeks later,
I got the house.

Oh, my gosh, honey!

You like it?

- It's beautiful.
- [chuckles]

Sunken living room.

Kind of reminds me of our
old place back in Hawaii.

Yeah, I thought so too.

Oh, you did good, Dewey.

I'm glad you like it.

These are for you.

- You want me to find a place
for you to hang your keys?

You need a hook
by the front door.

- No. It's yours.
- What's mine?

- He's giving you
a set of keys, babe.

- I'm giving you
theset of keys.

OK. Now I don't follow.

I think he's doing comedy.

[chuckles] No.

I'm giving you the keys
because this is your house.

You're joking.

No, I am not.

- You bought us a house?
- I promised you I would.

I don't know what to say.

- [both laugh]
- Oh, what?

There's more.

There is not more.

[horn honks]

Oh, that's nice.

You hired Bruno
to be your valet.

- No, Dad,
he's parking your truck.

- My truck?
- The truck is yours too.

The house, the truck,
all of it.

It's all yours.

Oh, Dewey.

Let me tell you,

that was a moment
I'll never forget.

Oh, son, thank you!

[sighs]

Hey, Bruno,
how you getting home?

[laughs]

.

- I always told my parents
I'd buy them

their very first house,
and man,

I was so happy
to make good on that promise.

- I'm having a hard time
believing all this, son.

I'm gonna need to see
some paperwork.

- My whole life,
you've been moving

from place to place,
doing everything you could

to provide for the family.

It's about time
you had somewhere

where you can feel settled.

- But Dewey, this is--

- Mom, this is a dream
come true for me.

Everything I've gone through,
from getting injured at Miami,

getting cut from the CFL,

almost getting
run out of the WWF,

what kept me going
was the promise

of buying you a house.

When I make it to the NFL,

we're never gonna have to worry
about money again.

The first thing I'm gonna do
when I get drafted to the NFL

is buy you a house.

That TV's just the beginning.

In a couple years,
it's gonna be

a three-bedroom ranch house
in that box.

- You know, I actually remember
the first time

I heard you mention that.

It almost broke my heart.

I deposited that money
three days ago.

I don't understand why it's
not in our account yet.

- I'm sure you're fine.
- You're sure it's fine?

Well, come and have a look
in my refrigerator,

and you tell me it's fine.

I need that money
for groceries.

[knock at door]

Can you just hold on
for one second, please?

I'll be right back.

OK.

Hi, is this the bank?

I'm sorry. Who's this?

- I'm her son.
I need to be quick.

She's just answering the door.

- Young man,
are you in trouble?

Say "Chesapeake"
if you can't talk right now.

I'm fine.

Listen, I would like
to get a loan.

I want to buy my mom a house.

Oh, I see.

- I'll pay you back
as soon as I can.

I just want it
to be a surprise,

so please don't tell her.

OK, gotta go. Bye.

Don't forget.

[soft music]

- This is why
you get into banking.

I didn't know you heard that.

- And never for a second
did I ever think

it wasn't gonna happen.

My belt! My tag team belt!

Babe, he's got Peter's belt
and my tag team belt.

- [laughs]
- Come on, Mom.

You gotta see
the rest of the house.

There's some nice surprises.

- What are
these sparkling purses

that look like animals
and fruit?

Judith Leibers?

You got Judith Leiber purses?

- Yougot
Judith Leiber purses.

- [laughs]
- Ooh.

Rocky, don't touch those!

Oh, come to Mama, my pretties.

[squeals]

We've come a long way,
haven't we?

- You mean from when Dewey
used to rock

that turtleneck and fanny pack?

[laughter]

- I think she was
talking about the time

you dyed your hair blonde.

- Oh.
- Ah.

Well, it was platinum.

- Your head looked
like dirty snow.

- [laughter]
- It was platinum.

- No, I'm talking
about low points,

like when I got to Tennessee
and realized

Rocky hadn't found us
anywhere to live.

You know what's funny?

My lowest point was
also in a car with Dad.

- Y'all just gonna
gang up on me now?

- No, you actually
helped me out, Pops.

It was after I got cut
from the CFL

and you took me back to Tampa.

Only had 7 bucks to my name.

- Nothing was worse
than the way we left Hawaii.

My grandmother was right.

Leaving Hawaii
was our low point.

I don't understand.

How did we not make more
of a profit off that last show?

The Peter tribute
was a packed house.

- The arena and wrestlers
we booked were not cheap.

- Well, the good news is,
the show was a success.

Plenty for us to build off of.

- You'll remember
that a year before,

my grandmother beat the FBI's
extortion case

that was against her.

I love the jury.

I am a lady innocent,
and they saw that.

Oh, and FBI, kill yourselves.

[reporters clamoring]

- We'll find something on her,
and she'll go down.

- And it appeared
they had found something.

- Mom, did you hear
what I said?

- Hmm?
- We gotta figure out

the next steps
for our promotion.

We need to start
turning a profit.

Lia?

- Let's talk about this
another time.

- Never satisfied
at being defeated,

the FBI did
some digging around

and discovered
that my grandmother

was an illegal U.S. citizen.

They were like
a dog with a bone.

She'd beaten
those extortion charges,

but she was less confident
this time around,

not that she'd ever let them
know that.

[dramatic rock music]

♪

My mom and dad had no idea

what my grandmother was
dealing with,

so they kept their focus
on making

the wrestling promotion
profitable.

- This is
what we should be doing, Rocky,

an annual event.

- How is WrestleMania
an annual event?

They've only done it twice.

- When you put Roman numerals
after something,

you don't stop at two.

There's a psychology behind it.

- Since what do you know
about psychology, Mom?

- Honey, that's what
being a mom is--

manipulating your family...
with love.

We should make the Peter Maivia
tribute our annual thing.

I love it.

And it's the type of thing
that'll get your mom excited.

I hope so.

She hasn't been liking anything

we've been pitching her
recently.

[knock at door]

Hi, Rocky.

Kit, hey.

[chuckles]
Now is not the best time.

We're having a little
creative meeting in here.

- Juices are flowing.
- I get it.

You know, I was in the room

when the Croissan'wich
was invented.

Don't want
to interrupt the flow.

Just want to bring
to your attention

that the rent is
a few weeks late.

♪

[laughs]

Funny enough, that is exactly
what this meeting is about.

Oh. Oh, good.

'Cause it's been late
a few times, so--

- The check is
practically in the mail.

- Oh, well, you don't
have to mail it.

I've got a slot in my door.

- You got it.
[chuckles]

- Well, I just--
- God bless.

.

- With the family's financial
well-being on the line,

my parents went all out
for their big pitch.

It'll be like WrestleMania

but with a real reason
behind it.

- An annual tribute
to the High Chief.

- But my grandmother had
the FBI on her mind.

- And then those champions
come together to fight

for the ultimate champion.

- [echoing]
It's gonna be amazing, Mom.

We can get
all the boys involved,

and they'd love to do that
for Dad.

[voices echoing indistinctly]

[laughter]

[high-pitched ringing]

[normally]
Mom?

What do you think?

- I have a concern
you should know about.

How did I get so lucky to have
such a brilliant family?

[both laugh]

- Oh, Dewey, go easy
on the calamari, huh?

- I'm trying to get
some leg ones

before Grandma gets them all.

I love the idea.

And High Chief is never shy
about being celebrated.

Oh, I'm so glad.

I can make some calls
to the mainland,

see who's around.

- My grandmother didn't have
the heart to tell us

about her issues with the FBI.

She knew none of my parents'
plans would ever happen,

but she wanted us
to have this night

to dream about what could be.

And man, we left on a high.

So I'll talk to the guys.

You get started working
on the story lines.

Lia could coordinate
the venues--

- And I'll finish
this leftover calamari.

- Son, you gotta chill
on the squid.

Wait, that's squid?

- I'm gonna put on a pot
of coffee and get started.

What's this?

Oh, my God.

Rocky.

Eviction notice.

We had 24 hours
to get our stuff and go.

Let me talk to the landlord.

Kit!

Hey, Rocky.

- Kit, you said
we can have an extension.

What's going on?

- I said that so you wouldn't
be disappointed.

I'm terrible
with confrontation.

- So that's it?
We're evicted?

Well, you see...

yes.

[somber music]

♪

- No, I can't argue
with that, Mom.

That eviction was
our low point.

- Maybe yours, but you only got
evicted from your house.

They evicted me
from the whole damn country.

- A few years later,
I found a little loophole

and found out my grandmother
had actually been

a U.S. citizen all along.

Now, how that slipped by
the FBI and her own family

is a story for another time.

Getting evicted
out of our apartment in Hawaii

just sticks with me, man.

It might have been
the lowest moment

I ever experienced as a kid.

- Well, it's crazy
how your family went

from being on top
to hitting rock bottom

in basically a year.

- That's why you never take
anything for granted, right?

Going through the lows
as a kid in Hawaii

made being able
to share the highs

with my family so special.

Why don't we connect, then?

OK.

- I'll let him know.
- Who was that?

- I've been returning
the calls you got after "SNL,"

and you got
some major talent agencies

trying to represent you.

- For wrestling?
- For acting.

Like, real Hollywood agents.

Whoa.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
We should do that.

- I thought you said you wanted
to get more into acting,

- didn't you?
- Yeah. No, I do.

It's just happening so fast.

How about we just focus
on WrestleMania,

and then we can cross
those bridges afterward?

- OK.
- Yeah?

- Yeah, let's do that.
- We should go.

- Yeah.
- We're already late

for my parents'
housewarming party.

[doorbell rings]

Oh, there you are.

Everyone's here already.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mom. Mwah.

- It was Dany's fault.
- [laughs]

Don't lie to your mother.

- Hey, if you're gonna be
my manager,

you gotta cover for me.

- I wouldn't have
believed it, anyway.

- [chuckles]
- Mwah.

Hey, who do we have here?

[all shouting]

- I dig the new digs,
brother, yeah.

- How you doing, Dany?
- Hi.

- Now, did you get
a fixed mortgage,

or did you get
the adjustable rate type?

- Oh, I forgot
to tell you, Dewey.

Macho's gotten
real boring lately.

[laughter]

Lovely house, bubba.

I find four bathrooms.

Ah, you missed one, Sheik.

- Oh?
Sheik will find fifth bathroom.

- Hey, Dewey, congratulations
on "Saturday Night Live."

- You absolutely crushed it.
- Oh, thank you.

- That was good, brother.
- Thank you. Thank you, Bruno.

- Well, I couldn't
stay up that late.

Do you know I haven't been able
to shake this jet lag

since I got back from Toronto?

- Wait, Toronto is
in the same time zone as this.

Mm.

Well, I guess
I've just been tired.

[laughter]

So what's the story, Dewey?

You getting all Hollywood
on us, or what?

- No,
I'm just gonna concentrate

on WrestleMania next week,
and that's it.

Smart guy.

See, that's why
you're Vince's golden boy.

- Everyone who goes Hollywood
always comes crawling back.

That is why I turned down
"Dynasty" show

with jabroni Joan Collins.

- "Dynasty" didn't ask you
to be on the show, Sheik.

Don't lie.
[laughter]

"Dynasty" wanted Sheik.

I have paper trail.

- I'm looking for a bunch
of meatheads with zero style.

[all cheering]

- I didn't expect
to see this guy.

- Haven't heard from Rocky
in 15 years,

and the second he gets
a new home,

he won't stop calling.

- I'm just making up
for lost time.

[laughter]

Hey, Sheik,
you wanna give Hulk the tour?

- No, Sheik does not want
to give Hulk a tour.

You find your own
secret bathroom.

- Oh, I'll find
the secret bathroom, brother.

- No, you won't,
you Barbie bimbo beach doll.

[laughter]

- Hey, stop running
in the house!

- How you doing, brother?
How you feeling after "SNL"?

- It was a rush, right?
- Unreal.

Is it true that you and I
are the only wrestlers

to host the show?

- Yes, sir--
pretty exclusive club.

- [laughs]
- Hey.

What y'all doing in here?

- Just got the Mount Rushmore
of wrestling in your kitchen.

- [laughter]
- I know, right?

Look at us.
[laughs]

Three kings.

We did it.

All right,
I'll see y'all out there.

[laughs]

So what's next for The Rock?

I'm sure everyone wants
a piece of you.

- Hey, I'm trying to figure it
all out, you know?

Vince has a great plan
for me this year,

and the fans and the ratings
have all been incredible.

- But?
- [sighs]

But I'm definitely curious

about where this acting thing
could go.

I just don't know
if it makes sense right now,

you know what I mean?

In a lot of ways, I feel like
I'm at the mountaintop.

Why do more?

Who knows if I can
even juggle both?

Been there, brother.

Why keep climbing if you're
already at the summit?

Exactly.

- Any time I feel like
I've reached my ceiling,

I just think, what if
that ceiling is just a floor

to something else?

Back when I was
at the top of WWF,

I decided to try and push
through that ceiling.

[chuckles]
Maybe a little too far

with "Suburban Commando"
and "Mr. Nanny"

and, whew, "No Holds Barred."

But I crushed it
in "Gremlins 2."

- Oh, yeah.
- But hey, that's just me.

Well, I hear you, Hulk.

But honestly...

[laughter and chatter]

I'd be happy if everything
stayed just like this.

I got news for you, brother.

Whether you pursue
acting or not,

your life ain't
staying like this.

What?

- We don't work
at State Farm, man.

Nothing stays the same for long
in this business.

We're all just one match away
from an injury,

one match away
from the fans falling in love

with the new guy.

Ten years ago, you think
I ever thought I'd be a heel

with jet-black beard hair?

Hell no.

- So you're saying
I should test my ceiling?

- Only you'll know
the answer to that.

When the time comes,
you'll know.

- You know,
"Mr. Nanny" wasn't that bad.

It was bad.

[both laugh]

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Hogan's words rang true--

nothing stays the same,

and when that time is right,
seize the opportunity.

.

- So Hogan's words gave me
a lot to think about.

Gentlemen.

[refined music]

So I've slept on it--

well, didn't actually sleep.

I had a coffee before bed,

hoping it would inspire me
to an answer.

And eight hours
of non-sleep later,

here we are.

My father is no longer with us,

but I found myself asking him
what it is I should do.

- And what did he say?
- Nothing. He's dead.

- He can't talk.
- Yeah, right.

- But I do know
what he would have said.

"Angela, you already know
what to do.

Just trust yourself to do it."

So, Mr. Johnson,

I agree to the terms
of your coffee trade deal.

As you said, it feels
like the right opportunity

at the right time
for Gjelgjuighm.

Thank you, Prime Minister.

Of course.

- Whoo-hoo!

Yes!
[laughs]

- Now let's focus
on what's important.

What were you saying
about Hulk Hogan?

- Hogan told me--

and it was as true back then
as it is today--

that you need
to test your ceilings

and see how far you can go.

I was certainly thinking
about that back in 2000

at WrestleMania as I prepared

to step into the arena
I knew so well.

Hey, boss, I don't mean

to interrupt
your pre-game routine,

but Dany gave me strict orders
to give this to you.

- What is it?
- It's from "SNL."

They know I ate all the grapes.

- We're ten minutes
from going up.

How important could it be?

- I don't know.
Open it up and see.

God, it's killing me.

[laughs]

- "Hey, babe.
This came for you.

I think you should
check it out."

"The Mummy Returns."

"The Mummy Returns"?

Where'd the mummy go?

Where's he returning from?

- It looks like they want me
to play a role in this--

the Scorpion King.

Badass.

Hulk was right.

In that moment,
I just felt it.

I knew it was time
to test that ceiling,

step into a new arena.

And seizing that opportunity
would take my career

to a whole new level.

[all shouting]

Haku machente!

[exciting music]

- Well, I want to hear more
about "The Mummy."

- I also want to hear more
about "The Mummy."

- Ah.
Well, those are long stories.

I'll tell you what,
you come to the U.S.,

I'm gonna break open
the tequila,

and I got a lot
of "Mummy" stories.

- Hey.
- The tequila.

- Tequila.
[laughter]

Well, that is a deal.

- It's a deal.
- Dwayne Johnson. Mm.

It really has been a pleasure
meeting your candy ass.

[laughs]

Well, the pleasure's been
all mine, jabroni.

[laughter]

Disrespectful.
I can't go out like that.

The pleasure was all mine,
Prime Minister...Jabroni.

- Yeah!
- Hey. Come on, now.

[laughter]

Yeah!

Yes.

- Yes.
- All right.

- I'm gonna write
the whole article

on the plane ride home.

I might be the first writer

to make the cover
of "Vanity Fair."

- Oh, Randall, no, buddy.
It's not gonna work like that.

Now that I gave Taft the win,

anything that happened between
me and the prime minister

can never go public.

- There is no story.
- But I took so many notes.

I know. I know. I'm sorry.

But it's in the best interests
of our country.

Plus, they're gonna be happy

to see you
back on "Chatterbox."

- No, I had a fourth
Bloody Mary last night

and left an ugly voice mail
for Bibi.

A lot of things
I can't take back.

- I need to stop at a gift shop
on my way to the airport,

pick up a little something
for Cheese.

- Bye, best friend.
- Bye.

- She didn't get
an international data plan,

so she hasn't
listened to it yet.

You know, you were right.

About?

- Well, about that kid
in the parking lot

who said
America didn't need me.

- Must be hard knowing
America doesn't need you.

- That bothered me.
- I know you 98%.

Yes, you do.

Being the man in the arena,

living through
all these ups and downs,

it doesn't mean it doesn't
still sting when you lose.

And I just want to say
thank you

for encouraging me
to get back up.

It was my pleasure. Happy to.

- You know, Randall,
this entire experience

has really got me thinking
that maybe politics wasn't

the wrong arena for me
after all.

Maybe this is just
another false ceiling.

I think I could do it.

- What,
run for president again?

No.

Start my own country.

Think that's a good idea.
