- [Baseball Announcer] It's
a beautiful fall afternoon,

Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX

an absolutely perfect
day for baseball.

You know, Jerry, if you
told me three months ago

that these two teams
would be squaring off

for the start of a
seven-game series,

I'd tell you to have
your head checked.

Two underdog teams, both
from the City of Angels,

battling for
baseball's top prize?

You're in for treat,
baseball fans.

The stars really had to
align for this matchup.

Let's play some ball.

- [Director] Cut!

- [Assistant] Reset.

- [2nd Assistant] Okay, let's
reset and let's do that again.

- Will, the timing on the
move is all wrong, buddy.

I need movement.
That feels still.

- Yeah, just give me a sec.

Look, just ramp it
up on the last foot.

It's a big jump on the ring
but not a lot of movement.

- Mm-hmm.

- From here to here.

- Mm-hmm.
I hate these lenses.

- I'm sorry, are we at lunch?

What's happening right now?

- You good?

- Oh, I was born good.

- Yeah, let's do it, boss.

- Okay, people, let's make love.

- More like a quickie.

We gotta be outta
here in an hour.

Roll sound.

- Speeding.

- Camera speed.

- Pirate Burger, take 36.

- [Director] Action.

- At Burger Pirates, we take
a bite out of the booty.

Argh.

- Cut!

It's Pirate Burger, Lacy.

- Okay.

I didn't know we were so
stuck on that wording but--

- [Director] The name
of the restaurant?

- [Lacy] Yeah.

- [Director] Yeah, you
wanna get that right.

- All I am saying is the
lunch shift lacks guys

that are, A, loaded, B, single.

- Well, maybe you shouldn't
use work to find a guy.

- Well, it's efficient.

And you should
follow my lead, lady

because all you do
is work and study.

- Well, all you do is
try to find a dude.

- Well, all you do
is talk about Niche.

- I'm sorry, what?

- The German guy with
all the rando ideas.

(phone vibrates)
- You mean Nietzsche?

Hold on.

What's up?

- You and me are going
to a sneak preview

of It's What's Inside tonight.

- Oh, a sneak preview, fancy.

What time?

- 7:30 at the Vista.

- I don't know that I
could get home and showered

and back by then.

- Well, why do you
need to shower?

- Because I smell
like hot wings.

- I love hot wings.

But if you need to
shower, do it at my place.

I gotta run some errands,

but I am going to leave the key
under the mat for you, okay?

Don't even think about it.

Just say yes.

Come on, say yes.

- Okay, I will meet you there.

- [Chris] Great,
I'll be back at six.

- Bye.

- So you have a date with a guy.

- It's not a guy.

It's Chris.

- [Vanessa] So he's single then.

- I mean, you want it?

- Maybe I do.

(Fonz clears throat)

- [Women] Sorry, Fonz (laugh)

(Will speaks in Spanish)

- Hey, this is Will.

- Hey, Will, it's Moira
from White Ghosts.

- Hey, Moira, what's up?

- Are you ready for New Mexico?

- Ah, you have no idea.

I can already taste
the green chilies.

- (chuckles) Good.

Well, I will be picking
you up from the airport.

So if there's anything in
particular that you want,

just let me know and
I'll bring it for you.

- Oh, that's sweet of you.

- I wanna make sure
we don't lose our DP

before the documentary
starts shooting.

- Bribery, nice tactic.

- I was gonna go with flirtation
if that didn't work, so.

- I will see you at the airport.

- Okay, I'll see you then.

Oh, don't forget to
bring warm clothes.

The mesa gets cold at night.

- Got it.

- [News Anchor]
...regulations are needed.

With little happening
on the federal level,

NPR's Gabriel Chapa reports...

(baseball broadcast
from inside house)

- What's up?

- [Hugo] Brian, hurry up.

- I'm coming.

- [Baseball Announcer] The
Dodgers are just two outs away

from winning game one of this
first round division series.

Barrios at the plate.

Fernandez gets the signal.

High fastball, deep line
drive to right center.

Puig is back, back at the wall.

What a spectacular catch!
(crowd cheers)

- Yeah!

Yeah, baby!

- [Baseball Announcer] Gordon
tries to make it back to 2nd.
He thought it was a base hit.

The throw by Puig.

He got him!

- (laughs) No way!

No way!

No way!

Yes, baby, yes!

Whoo!

- [Baseball Announcer] Dodgers
win in a dramatic fashion.

- Ha-ha, yes!

? One time throw your
hands in the sky ?

? If you're feeling ?
really fly, get 'em high ?

? Drinks on the house, ?
you ain't ever gotta buy.?

? Swagga is a habit, you ?
ain't ever gotta try, ?

? get 'em high ?

? One time, throw your
hands in the sky ?

? If you're feeling ?
real fly, get 'em high ?

? Drinks on the house, you ?
ain't never gotta buy ?

? Swagga is a habit, you ?
ain't never gotta try, ?

? get 'em high ?

? Y'all make way when I ?
roll up on the scene ?

? In my Oukast mood,
so fresh so clean ?

- What up, fellas?

- Hey, what up, dude?

- Hey, what up, Will?

- How's it going, man?

What's up, guys?

- What's up, Will?

- Damn, I got here right
on time for the chicken.

- Yeah, you did.

You watch the game?

- No, dude, I was working.

I heard the ninth inning though.

- Man, my boy
Yasiel is the shit.

- That throw was insane.

- [Will] Dude, I gotta
catch the highlights, man.

- You want a beer?
- No, no, no, I'm good.

I got some work to do.

If you guys are gonna be
out here for little while,

I'll come back when
I'm done packing.

- Weren't you just gone, bro?

- Back at it, man,
another six months.

- All work, no play, huh?

- Tell me about it.

- Hey, so you're dating a
new girl or is that Chris?

- Not me.

No time, no interest.

(phone rings)

- Hello?

What's good, baby?

I told you I'm at Hugo's.

- Homeboy's always
in trouble, man.

- Gotta take the
good with the bad.

- Dude, if you're
feeling lonely,

Liliana's still all about it.

(Will laughs)
- Yeah, man.

She's like two in one, bro.

- I appreciate you
guys looking out.

- Hey, whatever happened
to that model chick

you brought through last time?

- Ah, she was a sweet girl,
man, but there was no chemistry.

- Bullshit.

That's impossible, dude.

- I'll let her know
you're interested.

- Do it.

- I gotta run, fellas.

See you guys in a bit.
- All right, Will.

- [Hugo] Later, bro.

? - [Will] Let's go, Dodgers ?

- Hey, Chris, I'm home!

- Chris?

I'm in the shower.

- [Will] Yeah, I'm just
letting you know I'm home.

- [Michele] I'll be right out.

Get out of my house!

(Will and Michele shriek)

- Who are you?

- Who are you?

- I fucking live here.

Who are you?

- I'm, I'm meeting Chris.

He showed me where the key was.

I, I, I can, I can
show you the text.

- No, no, it's fine.

- I'm putting this down now.

- [Will] Geez, you
scared the shit outta me.

- I'm sorry.
- No.

So I'm assuming that wasn't
Chris taking a shower.

- No, that was me. (chuckles)

Yeah, and I can see now
that you are not Chris.

- No.

- I'm Michele.

You must be Will.
Hi.

- Hi.

- I'm sorry.
- No, no, no.
- I was,

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.

I work like 80 hours a week.

I had no idea he
had a girlfriend.

- Oh, I'm not his
girlfriend, just a friend.

- [Will] Right, gotcha.

- Yeah, so.

- So is Chris on
his way home or?

- He's running late.

- Ah, typical.

(phone pings)
- Yeah, actually.

Oh.

Really, really late.

- Yeah.
- That's Chris. (chuckles)

So that is so handy.

- Yeah, yeah, it is.

- Yeah, in case you have
a baseball emergency.

- [Will] Any kind of emergency.

- Oh, so it's specifically
for emergencies.

- Actually, I planted it there.

In case a girl
sneaks into my house

and scares the shit outta
me, she'll feel safe.

- Oh, so considerate.

- It's the least I can do.

(Will and Michele chuckle)

(plane engine whirs)

Yeah, we live under
a flight path.

It used to annoy me, but now
I find it kinda soothing.

- On my side of town,

we have the soothing sounds of
traffic headed to the beach.

So yeah, I get it.

- Yeah.

- I can wait outside

for Chris.
- No, don't be stupid.

Not stupid, silly.

I'm sorry.
Look, let me just clean up.

- Well, I have my books,

so I can sit in my
car and I can study.

Or you know what, I'll just,
I'll hang out in Chris's room.

- Have you smelled it?

- Yeah.

Do you mind?

- Not at all.

- I have my earbuds so
I can just plug right in

and you can watch TV and
it's like I'm not even--

- Actually, I was gonna have
a little celebratory drink.

- Oh, did you win something?

- The Dodgers won.

- Baseball?

- Yeah.

- Congratulations,
Dodgers! (chuckles)

- Thanks.

Do you want one?

- Yeah, I could go
for a glass of wine.

- Sweet.

One beer coming right up.

- Boys.

- Actually, how about
an Old Fashioned?

I make a pretty good one.

- Yeah, even better.

- So what are you
guys up to tonight?

- Chris has passes
to a sneak peek.

It's What's Inside.

- Ah.

It's not really a date film.

- Good, 'cause it's not a date.

- [Will] Right, sorry.

Can you do me a favor
and toss me that orange?

- Sure.

Whoa, showoff!

- [Will] I was a short stop.

- College ball.

- No.

In college, actually, I was
a chubby little film student.

(Michele chuckles)

High school.

- The glory days.

- [Will] God, I hope not.

- Wow, you're like really
going all out there.

- [Will] You're a guest.

- Hmm, he takes his
drinks so seriously.

- [Will] Stir to dilute.

I like to separate the ice.

I don't like any of that
extra watering down.

- Are you a bartender?

- [Will] I used to be.

- I'm a server.

- [Will] Ah, nice.

- No, it's not.

(Will chuckles)

- All right.

There you go.

- Mmm.
- Salud.

- Mmm.

You nailed that!

- Thank you.

Are you hungry?

- Oh, we're gonna go to
dinner before the movie

so I should probably
wait so I'm not full.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.

I get it for sure.

(plane engine whirs)

- So you wanna do
the whole obligatory

how long you been in LA thing?

- How long has it been now?

I'd say nine years.

- Whoa, you're like
a professional.

Do you like it?

- [Will] I love it.
You?

- Uh,

mm-hmm.

- (chuckles) I don't know
why LA gets such a bad rap.

It's an amazing city.

Like, did you know that
there's a Honduran community

between Koreatown and downtown?

- Hmm, I did not know that.

- Exactly.

Most people don't.

It's a whole other world.

I don't know, I love
little places like that.

Like, for instance,
little Bangladesh, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- You have these pure
immigrant communities

that push up against each other.

The little bleed over
creates this new mixture

that wouldn't exist
anywhere else.

- Hmm, I never thought about
it like that. (chuckles)

- You know what,
I have a theory.

- Theory me.

- If you move to LA, you
either love it or you hate it.

- Mm-hmm.

- I mean, you come
and appreciate it,

but you're not gonna
love it the way you would

if it was love at first sight.

- Isn't that from Pretty Woman?

- Huh?

- Yeah, the part where he's
talking about the opera.

- No.
- I think it is.

- Wait.

Oh, shit. (chuckles)

I have been saying
that for years.

Oh my God, I must
sound like an idiot.

- A very passionate idiot.

- Well, that's because this
city's for the passionate.

I mean, you know, the
desperate come too,

but it's the
passionate who ascend.

- Well, I'm screwed then.

- What brought you to LA?

- Hmm,

school.

- Film?

- Not everybody who comes to
LA is in the film industry.

Philosophy, actually.

- That's amazing.

- Yeah.

Four years and 80 grand later

and I can tell you all
about our specials tonight,

including the
Blackened Red Snapper.

- So what does one do
with a philosophy degree?

- Hmm.

Quote the great scholars
at parties for weed.

- Oh, nice.

- Actually, do you
wanna smoke a little?

- Hmm, no, I'm good, thank you.

- Do you mind if I step outside?

- Wow.

- Ooh, she pretty, ain't she?

- I can't turn down perfection.

- [Michele] I promise
I'm not a stoner.

It's just--

- Ooh, ooh-wee.

(Will and Michele chuckle)

- It's just, ugh,
working like every minute

that I'm not in school,

just need to give my
brain a break sometimes.

- No, I get it.

What are you studying this time?

- Philosophy.

- (laughs) Doubling down.

- If at first you don't succeed.

- Are you trying to teach or?

- Yeah.

Actually, I have
to TA this class

as part of my curriculum
this semester.

I kinda dig the giving
of the lecture part.

- Yeah, sounds
like it can be fun.

- I've been in this
existential crisis

ever since I was born.

It's like I came out of the womb

and immediately questioned
my purpose in doing it.

My mom said that my
first words were why.

- Wow.

(Michele laughs)

- Philosophy humor. (laughs)

- (laughs) Are you
gonna pass that thing?

- Oh, I'm so rude.

(plane engine whirs)

- (indiscernible)

- Do you want another drink?

- No, I'll be
hammered at dinner.

- I have beer.

- Beh.

- I'm gonna grab one.

- But you took my joint.

That's not cool.

Ooh.

These are some mighty speakers.

- I built them myself.

- Ooh, he handy.

(Will chuckles)

- Until you listen to recorded
music on great speakers,

you've truly never
experienced it.

- I'm a do it on my phone gal.

- [Will] Hmm.

Compressed music's for jogging.

These little suckers
are for listening.

- This is a religion.

- Ah, more of a devotion.

Here.

(upbeat music)

- You know, you've got
this hipster vibe going.

I didn't catch that at first.

You're cooler than I thought.

- You realize you just insulted
me twice in one sentence.

- [Michele] No.

- Yes, you did.

- I, I, I was teasing.

- Yeah, go ahead, backpedal.

- No, no, no, no.

I mean, I can rephrase.

- Look, you just
called me a hipster

with negative connotations

and then said I wasn't cool
enough to be a hipster.

I'm not cool enough
to be a poser?

- Oh.

Attention to verbal detail.

You must be a writer.

- I'm a cinematographer,

a filmmaker, I guess that's
the easiest way to put it.

- Okay, so film's the religion.

- Ah, still on devotion.

- Hmm, cool.

So what kind of stuff do you do?

- Right now, just a
bunch of commercials,

but I'm working on a documentary
that could be pretty cool.

- Hmm.

- It's about endangered wolves.

But you know, more nature
conservation stuff,

not like I'm a nerd
who likes wolves.

- I like wolves.

- That's because you're a nerd.

- True, self-proclaimed nerd.
(Will chuckles)

So did you always
wanna be a filmmaker?

- Actually, I wanted
to play baseball.

Film was more of a fallback.

- Isn't your fallback

supposed to be something
a little bit more stable?

- Like philosophy?

- Ooh, touch�.

But society evolved

because women selected
for stability in men.

- Are you calling me unstable?

- You seem like a
drifter dreamer type.

- Oh my God, you
sound like my mom.

She was always like,

"Mijo, you have to get
your teaching credential."

- Did you?
- Hell, no.

(Michele laughs)

I didn't want anything to
get between me and my dreams.

- Wait, which is the
dream, baseball or film?

- Film.

- Hmm, 'cause baseball
was never an option?

- That's for another day.

- I have a boyfriend.

- That's wonderful.

I hear relationships can
be really fulfilling.

- Yeah, they can, they can be.

- Okay.

(Michele grunts)

So why philosophy?

- Ha, that should be a bumper
sticker, "Why Philosophy?"

How much of an in-depth
answer would you like?

- [Will] Semi deep.

Impress me.

- Oh, okay.

Hmm.

Well,

in school, I was
really good at math.

I like math, it's a
language of logic,

but I didn't really wanna
go into mathematics.

- I get that.

- Also, I loved the concept
from Stranger in a Strange Land,

the Fair Witness.

I wanted to be a Fair Witness.

But, eh, it doesn't
really exist,

so philosophy kind of came
from those two things.

- I never read that book.

- Hmm, I've never
seen The Godfather.

- What?

- Look outside.

- No, wait, wait, we're
coming back to that.

- So look across the street.

What color is that house?

- [Will] That one?

- [Michele] Mm-hmm.

- Ugly beige with
ugly brown trim.

- The whole house or just
the side that you see?

- I mean, I'm assuming the
whole house is painted that way.

- Okay, so that would fit

with the coherence
theory of truth.

The correspondence
theory of truth

would not support that fact.

- Mm-hmm.

- A fair witness would
answer the question thusly,

ugly beige house with ugly
brown trim on that side.

That is the known
truth of the observer.

- Well, I guess I should
have paid more attention

in English class.

- And listened to your mom.

Get that teaching
credential, Me-who.

- [Will] Mijo.

- Mijo.

- It's what Mexicans call
their kids, Mijo and Mija.

- Hmm, did you
ever go by Willie?

- Are you serious?

- (laughs) Well, there's
this kid growing up

and every time during
roll call, I just thought

why not just go by Will.

- [Will] (chuckles) Actually,
my name's Guillermo.

- Hmm.

- My parents call me Memo.

But I grew up around a
bunch of white people

who preferred Will, and
I didn't really care.

- Guillermo.

- So what did your
parents call you?

- Ah, my mom called me Mickey.

- And your dad?

- Uh, um--

- For another day?
- No, um.

My dad left early, never
returned, never said why.

- I'm sorry.

- No, it's not your fault.

- No, I know, but
I'm sure it was hard.

- No, it builds character.

It's just,

I'm not big on the whole
ghosting thing, you know.

Do what you gotta do but
a reason goes a long way.

- Yeah.
(plane engine whirs)

- And, we've arrived
in left field.

- Why specifically left
field and not right?

- Because right field is
for the kids who can't play.

Here, come on, sit right here.

- Why?

- [Will] Because you need
to hear the speakers.

- [Michele] Okay.

- All right, hold on.

Perfect.

All right, let's see here.

No.

Hmm?

- I feel your judgment, sir.

- No, I'm trying to
figure out what you like.

- [Michele] NPR and the Beatles.

- Not today.

Ah.

I'm gonna play you a
singer-songwriter out of Austin.

His name is Jonathan Ray Case.

I think you'll dig it.

- My ears are in your
hands, DJ Guillermo.

(Will laughs)

- DJ G!

- You like that?

- [Will] Yeah.

- So why am I on
the coffee table?

- Because sound waves
need a little air to push.

- Hmm.

- That's a perfect position
to avoid any distortion

and get a much
more supple sound.

- Hmm, supple, that's how
I describe all my music.

- Close your eyes.

Relax.

Let the music take over.

("Back in Paris" by
Jonathan Ray Case playing)

? It wasn't right to leave ?
the first time, I know ?

? I was possessed by egomania ?

? Oh, la la ?

? You couldn't find me ?
with a searchlight, oh no ?

? You couldn't keep me at ?
the Bastille de Launay ?

? No way ?

? I had to catch a train ?
to Bordeaux, oh no ?

- You don't like it?

- No, it's not that.

I just, um,

I'm feeling a little
self-conscious

'cause you're watching me listen
and I just, I can't relax.

- I could leave the room.

- No, it's okay.

Oh my gosh, you take
this so seriously.

- (chuckles) I do, yeah.

- It's pretty cute,

in a manly way.

- Okay. (chuckles)

(phone rings)

- Sorry.

Oh, it's Chris.
- Wait.

- [Michele] Hello?
- Hey, did you get in all right?

- Yes, I got in.

I am in right now.

- Awesome.

I am finishing up my errands,

but I was gonna
pick up some snacks.

- Oh, I like how you think.

I've got my purse too so
we can smuggle whatever.

- Yeah, I'm gonna get
Twizzlers, Nerds, and a soda.

What do you want?

- Get me Junior Mints.

- Hey, I'm not here.

- [Chris] Yeah, Junior
Mints, I love that.

- Oh, you don't
like Junior Mints?

- [Chris] I'm gonna
get two of those.
- Okay.

I'll see you soon.
- All right, see you soon.

- Bye.

- [Chris] Bye.

- Why didn't you want him
to know that you were here?

- Don't worry about it.

What's your boyfriend's name?

- Joaquin.

- You guys live together?

- We used to.

- That's weird.

- Not really.

We broke up.

- Ah.

- He got deported.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.
- Where in Mexico?

- Canada.

- (laughs) Bullshit.

- Yeah, he came for college

and didn't leave when
his visa expired.

- Well, we have to
protect our borders

against all those Canadian
college graduates.

- Yep, build that wall.

- So why did you say
you had a boyfriend?

- Because I did
have a boyfriend.

I just don't have one now
because he was a jerk.

- Interesting.

(Will sighs)

- You know, I think I
will have that beer.

- Oh, I'm so sorry,
this is the last one.

- I will make my own drink.

- You don't like my beer?
- Nope.

So why didn't you
play college ball?

- Ah.

I tore my shoulder pretty bad.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Yeah, it kinda ended
my sports career.

- [Michele] It's just a game.

- Ah, it's more of
an art than a game.

- Oh, so this is
another devotion.

- This is a religion.

- Baseball?

- Have you ever seen a game?

- [Michele] Yeah.
- All the way through?

- Yeah.

They throw the ball,
and then they hit it,

and then they run and they run,
and somebody might catch it.

It's all random, really.

- You are a sad soul.

Look, a great baseball game,

no, I should say a well-played
baseball game is a story,

and every pitch, every inning
is a line of that story.

It's got structure.

But what happens
between the lines

is up for interpretation
and chance.

- Aw, you're a romantic.

But ultimately,
sports are determined

by the strength of
the participants.

It's predetermined.

? I'm gonna have a
little fun outside ?

? Why don't you join me ?
outside for a little fun ?

- That doesn't mean that
it's inevitable though.

I mean, you have your
favorites, likely winners,

predicted outcomes,
but during a game,

choices are being made,

and sometimes those
choices are staggering.

Otherwise, the Yankees
would beat every team.

David would never
have beaten Goliath.

- Well, Goliath was a giant,

and giantism is
almost always caused

by a tumor in the
pituitary gland,

rendering giants nearsighted.

Therefore, Goliath couldn't
have seen David coming

nor the stone whizzing
towards his gigantic dome.

- Come with me.

Okay, you're Vin Scully.

Can you do Vin Scully?

- The guy from The X-Files?

- Look, he talks a little bit

something like this, all right?

Get your Hoffy hot dog.

- Get your Hoffy hot dog.

- All right, stick
with me here, okay?

Repeat everything that I say

in your best Vin Scully voice.

- [Michele] Got it.

- All right.

Game one of the
1988 World Series.

- Game one of the
1988 World Series.

- Bottom of the ninth.

The Dodgers are down
to their last out.

- Bottom of the ninth.

The Dodgers are down
to their last out.

- This ain't gonna work.

- What, you know like my Scully?

- No, no, it's good.

It's just not perfect.

And this is a perfect moment.

- Oh, perfect.

What are you doing?

- Just give me one second.

All right.

Oh, yeah.

(Michele laughs)

Here we go!

- [Michele] Okay!

- The World Series.

All right, this is the
baseball championships

of the entire world.

- Wow.

- Bottom of the ninth, the
Dodgers are down four to three,

two outs, and Dennis
Eckersley's pitching.

He's the best
closer in baseball.

Unbeatable, right?

It's over, but somehow, Mike
Davis comes to the plate

and draws a walk.

He's the tying run.

And then Gibson comes out.

- Who's Gibson?

- Kirk Gibson.

He's been a Dodgers
hero the entire season.

But he's injured, right?

And I'm not talking about
little cuts and bruises here.

I mean, his legs are shot, a
bad knee, pulled hamstring.

I mean, he could barely walk.

He's been in the locker
room the entire game

icing his knees.

Nobody thought
that he would play.

But then...

- [Baseball Announcer]
Bottom of the ninth.

(crowd cheers)

- Where, where are you going?

- [Will] I gotta
make my entrance.
Listen.

- [Michele] Okay.

- [Baseball Announcer]
And he walked him.

And look who's coming up!

(Michele chuckles)

- Gibson coming out was
a complete surprise.

The crowd's going absolutely
bananas because all season long

when they called on
him, he delivered.

All right, first pitch.

Foul ball!

- Oh, no!

- Dennis Eckersley was surprised

that Gibby even
got his bat around.

Second pitch.

Another foul ball!
- Oh!

- Now it's 0 and 2.

This is the worst position
to be in as a batter.

The pitcher has full control.

Next pitch.

Gibson hits a little nubber
down the first base line.

He starts limping,

and now you can see exactly
how hurt he is, right?

He could barely make
it down to first base.

But luckily, it was
another foul ball.

- C'mon, this is a movie.

- This is better than a movie.

All right, still 0 and 2, okay?

One more strike and
the game's over.

Oh, and it's a ball.

One and two.

And Gibson fouls the next pitch.

- How many times
have you done this?

- How many times have you read
Stranger in a Strange Land?

All right, next pitch
is another ball.

Two and two.

I'm not sure if you
were keeping count.
- Got it.

- All right.

The next pitch, Dennis
Eckersley throws another ball,

but Mike Davis steals
the base, all right.

Full count.

- Oh no, like poker.

- No, three balls, two strikes,

one pitch away from disaster

or proving your
predetermination theory

to be completely bogus.

Gibson steps back to the plate.

Tension is thick.

And

he calls time!

- Oh, come on.

- See, Goliath had the stone,

but David knew exactly
where it was going.

He steps back to the plate.

This is it.

A shot to right field!

Oh, it's gone!

Home run!

Gibby starts limping
around the bases.

Whoo, whoo!

(crowd cheering)

The crowd's going
absolutely bananas.

He rounds third base, high
fives his third base coach.

He gets home and starts having
to fend off all his teammates

'cause he's in so
much pain, right?

This would be the only time

that Gibson bats in
the entire series,

but the Dodgers would
use that momentum

to go on and win the
series four games to one.

Ah, it was unbelievable!

Oh my God.

- That might be the most
adorable thing I've ever seen.

- You gotta see the entire game
all the way through one day.

- I don't think I need to.

(Will laughs)

- Oh.

- (sighs) Okay, I never do this.

- What?

- I'm gonna ask
you five questions

and you're going to
answer right away.

Lie to me, I leave.

Hesitate, I sit on
the porch, got it?

- Got it.

- [Michele] That wasn't
one of the questions.
- Okay.

- Okay.

Do you have a girlfriend?

- No.

- [Michele] Kids?
- [Chris] Nope.

- Fate or free will?
- Free will.

- What is your favorite memory?

- I remember coming home one day

and I saw this girl with a bat
who scared the shit outta me.

(Michele chuckles)

- Do you wanna go
to dinner next week?

- Yes.

But I can't.

I'm leaving for work tomorrow.

- Oh, that's okay.

For how long?

(Will sighs)

- About six months.

- Wow.

- [Will] Yeah.

- You definitely didn't
mention that earlier.

- I didn't know this
was gonna happen.

- (sighs) See, this is why--

- But I'll be back.

And look, I,

I really feel like
we have a connection.

- Me too.

But six months is a long time.

- True.

But we have tonight,

so let's make it perfect.

- (chuckles) You are
such a filmmaker.

How would this perfect
movie moment go?

- What's the genre?

- Hmm, horror.

- Cool, let me grab my bat.

- No!

Drama.

Romance.

- Romance.

Huh.

Well, I would start off
by setting the mood.

- Do you have anything supple?

- Funny you ask.

("Waiting for my Moon " by
Noah and the Megafauna playing)

- Hmm,

supple (chuckles).

- Then I would look
across the room

at the beautiful young
lady sitting by herself,

and I would ask her to dance.

And then I would dim the lights

and find some innocuous
reason to touch you,

like gently placing your
hair behind your ear.

And then, then I
would cut in tight,

long lens so that the
background was blurred,

nothing in focus but us.

? 10 million intersections ?

- So that we are the
center of the universe.

Nothing else matters.

Then I would cut to your
lips, slightly parted

so that audience knows exactly
what I'm thinking about.

So when I lean in to kiss
you, it's not out of the blue.

It's expected,

inevitable.

- Like your baseball game.

- Yes.

?

- [Baseball Announcer] Reyes
reaches for the slider.

Oh my. High fly ball to center.

It may have a chance. Back,
back, and DeLord grabs it

at the warning track. And
that will retire the side.

- [Baseball Announcer] You know,

I'm really scratching
my head here, Bob.

What's he doing chasing
after a pitch like that

with a 3 and 0 count?

Reyes has been a fastball hitter

since he came into the league.

In that situation,
on this stage,

you gotta have the patience.

- [Baseball Announcer]
I'm sure that's one swing

he wishes he could take back.

(hip hop music playing)

- [Will] What up, fellas?

- Hey, look who it is,
back from the dead.

- (chuckles) Still alive,
my friends, still alive.

- What up, bro?

- What up, brother?

It's good to see you, man.

What's up, fellas?

- What's up, man?

- Friday night.

I thought you guys
would be out raging.

- Shit.

I'm up at like five in the
morning now on the weekends.

- Hmm.

- How long has it been,
man, like two years?

- Yeah, yeah, I think it's
been about two years, man.

- Times are a-changing, man.

Cheech got married.

- No way.

- Yeah, he's about
to have a kid.

Julio's moving to
Sacramento with his girl.

- [Will] Oh, we're
losing another one.

- Ronnie's on kid number
seven or eight, bro.

(group laughs)

Even Mike's moving out.

- No shit.

- Danielle and I have been
together three years now.

It's about that time, brother.

- He finally got tired of
his mom walking in on them.

(group laughs)

- Brian, that was one time.

- You want a beer, bro?

- Ah, I'd love one,
man, but I gotta get in.

Chris is having a thing.

- Yeah, we didn't get
invited to that one, man.

Some things never change.

- How could you live in LA and
still be afraid of Mexicans?

- No, no, Chris is cool, man.

- You know, there is a
negative portrayal of Latinos

through stereotypes in the media

that create a distorted
perception of who we are

as Americans of Mexican descent.

That's the real issue.

(group laughs)

What?

I'm taking a media
studies class.

- Alex, Alex, I love it, man.

We'll continue the
conversation when I'm done.

- I'd like that.

- All right, I'll see
you guys in a bit.

- Later, bro.

- We'll be here, bro.

- [Will] Save me a beer.

- You got it, brother.

(pensive music)

- Will.
(Will laughs)

Holy shit, man, you made it!

- Yeah.

Oh, man, look at you.

You look great.

- Yeah.
- Nice outfit.

- Thanks, buddy.

When you clicked maybe on that
invite, I was kind of like,

I don't think he's coming.

- Oh.

- But you made it,
man, Mr. Movie Man.

- No, no, no.

- Dude, you did not
have to do that.

- Oh no, no, no.
It's just a little--

- I will take it.

So beer,

champagne,

tequila?

- Champagne.

It's a celebration.

- Yeah, all right.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm celebrating for
two reasons, man.

It's nice to see you.

- Nice to see you too, man.

- Come on, I wanna
introduce you to my girl.

Yeah.
- Oh, okay.

- Check it.

- [Will] Oh, what is this?

It's amazing.

- All her.

Hey.
- Yes, hi.

- This is my old roommate, Will.

- We've met,

actually.
- No, no, I don't think--

- Yeah, yeah, it was the day
before I left for New Mexico.

- What?

I don't remember that.

Huh.

Well, it's great to
have you back, man.

It's been too long.

- Way too long, man.

- Let me get you that drink.
- Got it.

- I have to refresh
all of this, sorry.

?

- There it is.
- Cheers.

- Cheers, man, congratulations.

- Thanks, buddy.

- Hey, Chris, come
here, come here.

Do you remember that time
in South Padre Island?

When we got shit faced everyday
for breakfast and dinner--

- [Chris] Yeah,
it was fantastic.

- [Will] Congratulations.

- Thanks.

- This looks beautiful.

- Michele, this is such
a beautiful spread.

- Thanks, Vanessa.
(Vanessa chuckles)

- It's gorgeous.

- Yeah.

She's a real artist, huh?

- Mm-hmm
(Vanessa chuckles)

- This is Will.

He's an actual artist.

- No.
- No way.
Hi.

Hi, Will.

I'm Vanessa.

- Hi, Vanessa.
- Nice to meet you.

- It's nice to meet you too.

- So you're an artist.

Where do you do your artistry?

Where do you live?

- I live in New
Mexico, actually.

- Oh.

- But I'm in town for work.

I'm in town pretty often.
- Oh.

- I got the invitation.

I just wasn't sure
if I should come.

- Why wouldn't you come?

Michele throws the best parties.

This is so beautiful.

- [Will] It is.

- Yeah.

- Will is one of
Chris's friends,

so I guess Chris invited him.

- I used to live with Chris.

- No way.

- Yeah.

I'm not sure if you saw the
place before Michele moved in,

but I'm sure she found
out pretty quickly

that I wasn't the dirty one.

(Vanessa laughs)

- Michele, why haven't
I met this Will before?

- 'Cause I only met him
once for like a moment.

- It was an amazing moment.

- Okay.

I guess that's the thing
about life, you know.

People come, they go.

It's innocuous.

- Some people make an impression
that's sticks forever.

- That's very true.

- I have to get some
things out of the fridge.

- So,

how long are you--
- Excuse me.
- Okay.

- Listen, I,

I'm sorry.

- For what?

- [Jenny] Michele!

Oh my God.

I love your house.

I want your house.

I want your taste.

- Show her the ring.

- Yes.

Vintage?

- It's her grandmother's stones.

- Oh my God, stop.

It's amazing.

- [Amanda] Do you
know how he proposed?

- No, tell me the story!

- I didn't tell you the story?

Oh, I haven't seen
you in so long.

- Oh my gosh, is she
telling the story?

- She's telling the story.

- I'm telling the story.

Okay, well, I thought we
were going on a vacation.

But it's Chris, so it
wasn't just any vacation.

It was an adventure.

- [Chris] Dude,
I miss kegs, man.

- [Johnny D] You miss kegs.

What?

Is this Will?

- What's up, Big Dave?

Good to see you.

Johnny D!

- Willie, Will!

It's good to see you.
- It's good to see you guys.

- What, are you back in LA?

- No, no, no, I'm just visiting.

I've been working out
of Santa Fe, actually.

- Are you like chasing Kokopelli
or something like that?

- Dude, you're gonna be in
town for the bachelor party.

Next Friday night.

- [Dougie] Oh, did someone
say bachelor party?

- Oh, I hear that.

- Yeah, we're thinking
about pregaming it

at about eight o'clock,
maybe do some trust falls,

and then we're gonna
go out afterwards.

- Isn't it a little early
for a bachelor party?

- Yeah, well, I'm just
calling it a bachelor party.

I just don't wanna
have the curfew.

You know what I'm saying?

- We'll do a little
flaming Dr. Peppers.

Get on it.

- Well, in that case, I'm gonna
try my best to do be there.

- Oh, yeah.

It tastes just like
regular Dr. Pepper.

- It sure does.
- But gets you fucked up.

(group laughs)

- Guys, I'm gonna go
grab another champagne.

Anybody want anything?
- [Group] Uh...

- [Johnny D] A glazed donut.

- We do have those.

- Thanks, I'm good, brother.

Thank you, man.

Marcus, man.
Look at this guy, he don't age.

- I know, black don't crack.

Beige don't age.

(group laughs)

- Dude, what are you doing
out there in the desert?

- Yeah, yeah, I just
finished a documentary.

I was doing this like
thing about wolves

that have been going
extinct and stuff, so.

- Cool.
- Yeah.

I'm really excited
about it, man.

Yeah, what's,

yeah, yeah, no, it's been,

we're almost, it's in post.

It's still in post, yeah.

How's the wifey?

- She's good until I show up.

(group laughs)

- Right, like that's rough.

Tell me, tell me, are wolves
like affectionate lovers?

- Give one second, brother.

Thank you.

I'll see you guys in a bit.

Thank you.

- That's such a cliffhanger.
- Hanging on wolves.

- That just made it awkward.

- [Will] Not calling.

- [Michele] I'm
sorry, what was that?

- I'm sorry I never called you.

- Oh my God, it's
not a thing, really.

- It is.

You should probably
keep that covered.

Anyway, I'm sorry.

- I don't know if you noticed,

but I'm currently hosting
an engagement party.

Mine.
- [Will] I should have called.

- It's no big deal.

- I should have called.
(plane engine whirs)

- There's been an increase
in airport traffic.

You got out just in time.

Why didn't you?

Give me a reason.

Anything would be nice.

- I, um...

- You know what?

It doesn't matter, honestly.

I think things worked out
the way that they should.

- Maybe.

Maybe not.

It's hard to say at the moment.

- And that's all it was.

- Here you are.

- [Michele] Hey!

I overcooked the brisket.

- Oh, you want me
to take it out?

- No, it needs to rest a bit.

- Oh, all right.

Well, we need ice so--

- We have two extra
bags in the cooler.

- Oh, we went through that.

- [Michele] Seriously?

- Yeah, people are drinking.

It's a party.
I'll go.

- No.
No, there's an app--

- Guys, I can go grab some.

- No way, man, you're a guest.

- You're the groom, man.
You can't leave your own party.

- [Chris] I can.

I'm just gonna run to the
liquor store, 10 minutes.
I'll be right back.

- [Michele] Chris--
- Listen, I--

- I gotta deal with the brisket

and then people are gonna think

that we snuck away
for a quickie, so.

- [Chris] Should we
step away for a quickie?
- [Michele] No, no, no--

- Okay, okay, okay.
I'm gonna go.

You deal with the brisket.

Will, keep her company
while she briskets.

- Or you could
take Will with you

and you guys could catch up.

- We're gonna have
plenty of time

to do that on Friday night.

(Will chuckles)

Bachelor party.

- You're seriously
going with them?

- I mean, someone's gotta
keep an eye out on that boy.

- I've been living with
that boy for two years now.

I know everything I need to
know about him, and I trust him.

- Did you tell Chris about us?

- There is no us, Will.

Look, there,

there was a time where
I was was very hurt

and confused by
you, but we're good.

Everybody's good.

I'm happy with the path
that my life is on.

- I don't think I'm gonna
make it to the wedding.

- Good, because you
weren't invited.

That's why we're having this.

It's gonna be very small.

- I always intended
on coming back.

I just kept getting sidetracked.

- What was her name?

- Oh, there you are.

Oh my gosh, you need a drink.

- No, no, no, I'm just
getting ready to head out.

- No, no.

No, he can't go.

- He can.

- You know, Vanessa, I'll go
ahead and have that drink.

- All right.

- But whatever you pour, make
sure it's extra full of ice.

- Ice.

Yeah, the man likes
it cold. (chuckles)

Okay, I'll be back.

(Will sighs)

- Renata.

- What was that?

- Her name.

Renata.

- [Michele] That's a nice name.

- Yeah.

- So are you still
seeing this Renata?

- As much as I can, yeah.

She's my daughter.

- What?

- Yeah.

- You have a daughter.

- She's one year old.

- To Renata.

- To Renata.

- So I guess I should
say congratulations.

- Thank you.

- Should I assume
you are the first man

to have a child on his own, or
was there a female involved?

- Her name was Moira.

- Moira.

Irish.

I'm picturing red hair.

Someone's got a thing.

- (chuckles) It
was actually brown.

- And does she know
that you're here?

- [Will] Yeah.

- Really?

- [Will] Yeah.

- Curiouser and curiouser.

- We're not together.

- [Michele] Obviously.

- I mean, we're not a couple.

- Her choice or yours?

- Never really were.

I mean, we tried it when she
was pregnant, but it was,

yeah.
- I gotta admit,

this is not at all
what I expected,

so you can just give
it to me straight.

- All right, well, when
I flew into Albuquerque,

she met me at the airport.

She was a production
manager on the documentary.

- The wolves.

- [Will] Yeah.

- So it was love at first sight.

(Will chuckles)

- It was more of a high
altitude drunken mistake.

And then she was pregnant,
and so I stayed for Renata.

- It was the right thing to do.

- It was never even a question.

- I suddenly feel very
small in comparison.

- [Will] No, that
was not my intention.

- I'll bet she's beautiful.

- [Will] Moira?

- Renata.

- She's an angel.

I mean, she takes after her dad.

Look, I'm sorry I
didn't tell you before.

- Hey, I would have
forgotten about me too.

- I did not forget about you.

I just assumed

that you didn't wanna have
anything to do with me.

- Oh, so you made
up my mind for me.

- No, then Chris called

and said that he needed to
move my stuff into storage

because his girlfriend
was moving in.

And later, I find out that
that girlfriend was you.

- Guys just don't
do details, huh?

- We're there for the big stuff.

- Yeah, like bachelor
parties and strip clubs.

- Yeah, if need be.

Any Magic Mikes in your future?

- I wouldn't even
know where to go.

- I mean, 'cause I've been known

to break it down a little bit.

- Oh, you have?

So you sideline
as a stripper now.

- You know, I still got a
few little moves left in me.

- And you brought
them with you, I see.

- I mean...

- We don't need
to get into this.

I'm ready.
- This isn't,

geez.
- Hold up.

Girl, hold up.

Watch out now.
- Come on, please.
Will, you can't.

- I said watch out now.
- Stop.

Will, stop, you're
being childish.
Please.

- Whoa!

Hey.

Whoa.

So you're the stripper.

I knew it! (chuckles)

- He's not.
He'd like to be though.

- Oh, okay.

Well, hey, I,

I, I, I couldn't find
any ice, so I just,

I got you some warm rum.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- [Will] Appreciate it.

- Anyways...

- We're out of ice.

- Ah, well then
that makes sense.

I was really looking. (chuckles)

So what are you guys
talking about in here?

(phone pings)

Oh!

Oh, is that your niece?

- My daughter.
- Oh.

(clears throat)

You have a daughter?

- Yeah.
- Cool.

Wow.

That's...

what a, that's a
big commitment...

(sighs) to have.

Anyways, uh...

Okay, I, you know
what, I forgot, um.

I need to, um...

I was gonna go...(sighs)

Oh, I'm very hot. (chuckles)

Is the air on?

- Find some ice?

- Yes, yes.

I need to go find some ice.

So I'm gonna go find some ice

and I will let you guys know
if I find some ice, okay?

- Wow.

Babies,

they're basically chick
repellent in this town.

- You know, even just
a cryptic text message

would have been nice.

- If I would have
given you a reason,

it would have been final.

- Well, now it is.

So the documentary,
how'd that turn out?

- Really good, actually.

Still in post, but I don't know.

I have a feeling it's
gonna be a powerful piece.

- And the wolves, they extinct?

- [Will] Not yet, thank God.

- [Michele] Well, let
us know when it's out.

- I would, but you're
not on social media.

- [Michele] Neither are you.

- You looked?

- I wondered.

- Hmm.

Well, I am, but
just for work stuff.

- I avoid it at all costs.

- I get it.

- So are you gonna show
me a picture of this kid?

(Will chuckles)

- Meet...

Renata.

- Oh, she has your eyes.

- She does, right?

She's a cutie.

Are you and Chris gonna try?

- You don't get to ask that.

- No.

It's a job of a new parent,

pressure as many people
to join the club.

- Well, pressure elsewhere.

- Copy that.

You should open this.

- [Michele] You got us a gift?

- I got you a gift.

- Should I guess?

- Sure.

- Is it a rock?

- No.

- A paperweight?

- Nope.
- Your cold dead heart?

(Will chuckles)

- Strike three.

- [Michele] Cute.

- [Will] I signed it.

- I should throw this at you.

(Will chuckles)

- If you wish.

- I remember that day.

The baseball stuff.

- [Will] Are you reminiscing?

- Don't ruin it.

- Sorry.

- Or apologize.

- Okay.

Well, looks like things are
going really good for you.

- Yeah.

I'm teaching,

planning my wedding.

- That's good.

Can I ask you something?

- I, I really should
get back outside.

- [Will] How did you and
Chris end up together?

- Well,

we were both paying
rent on our own.

I was in over my head
with work and school,

and it seemed like a good
idea to move in together

when you didn't come back.

- And you magically
fell in love?

- He was my best friend.

It grew from there.

- And that's it.

- Not everybody needs
a passionate fling

in an airport lobby
to fall in love.

- It was a fling.
It wasn't love.

- So it just didn't work out?

- I was in love
with someone else.

- You need to go.

(back door opens)

- Oh, hey.

Where's the loo, Miss Wyatt?

- [Michele] Oh, just--

- Wait, Miss Wyatt.

So what's it gonna
be now? (chuckles)

- Yeah.

- Um, Miss DeLord.

- DeLord.

- I like it.

- Same.
- Yeah.

- Bathroom's that way, girls.
- Thanks.

Do you have to go?
- Yeah.

- Please go.

- Okay.

- Hold on, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Will, you leaving already?

- Oh, dude, I'm double
booked tonight, man.

- Oh, so we're just the
opening act for the headliner.

- No, no, no, no.

- Dude, you can't leave.

We're number one and wherever
you're going is number two.

Tell him.

- I think he heard you.

- Michele, you can't
let this man go.

- This is only the second
time I've met this man

so let him go.

Excuse me.

- [Dougie] What?

- You know what, guys,

the number two in
baseball is significant.

- Mm-hmm.

- You can steal second base,

put a runner in scoring
position, a double play.

There's nothing more beautiful
in sports than a double play.

But it also means that you
are on the edge, right?

If you have two
outs or two strikes,

that means you only got one
more shot before you're done.

1932 World Series, game three,
Babe Ruth calls his shot.

Now, this has a
certain relevance.

- Are you following all this?

- Yeah, the number two.

- I'm glad you're listening.

You see, the Yankee-Cub
rivalry was intense.

Oh, hey.

- Hi.

- I mean, these fans
hated each other.

Cubs fans were being
this as an angry mob.

- Baseball.

- Oh.
- Fifth inning,

tied game, Babe Ruth steps
to play for the second time.

He's already hit a home run.

Cubs are yelling at him from
the dugout, "Ah, you bum.

"Sit down, you fat ass."

Ruth responds.
He's yelling back.

He is pissed.

He's at the plate.

Now mind you, he's
a lefthanded batter.

I'm right handed, but anyway--

- That is correct.

- First pitch, strike one!

The crowd starts getting
into it even more.

Second pitch.

Strike two!

- [Group] Two.
- (laughs) Yes.

You guys are doing great.

Now, Babe Ruth hadn't
even swung his bat yet.

But then,

ever so slightly,

Babe Ruth lifts his hand,

and calls his shot.

Next pitch,

he swings.

(baseball bat crack)
Boom!

Deep center field!

- [Group] Home run!

- Yes!

The Yankees would go
on to sweep the Cubs

and that would be Babe Ruth's
last hit in the World Series.

- Classic Will, classic
Will. (chuckles)

- [Dougie] Well done, bravo.
- [Marcus] You go, brother.

Preach, telling your
stories, brother.

- You guys are a good audience.

It's great to see you, Marcus.

- Right back at you, man.

- Yeah, I'll see you guys.
- Yeah.

- See you, buddy.

So do you feel enlightened?

- More like parched.

So do you think
they hired that guy?

- I actually heard
he's a stripper.

Hey Michele!
- [Michele] Hey.

- LA is so weird.

- Why don't you make
a movie about that?

- They already did.

The Babe, John Goodman.

- Oh, well, you'll
find another one.

- For the next time we meet?

- Another story to
make a movie about.

- Did you like it?

- It's just how I
wanna remember you.

- So I'm not gonna
see you again.

- When you're in
town, see Chris.

Just Chris.

- But you said I was innocuous.

And if you don't care about me,

if you didn't think about me
the entire time I was gone,

and if you don't think that
moment was something special

and different and a huge mistake

not to see if it
meant something,

then why can't I see you again?

- Because it'll make
Chris uncomfortable.

- Bullshit.

You clearly didn't
tell him about us.

- [Michele] I don't
wanna have to.

- Michele.

- Please.
Just...

Okay, just go.

And don't worry.

This time, I actually
don't want you calling me.

Congratulations again.

- [Will] Yeah.

- It's nice to see you.

- You too.

(Will sighs)

- [Baseball Announcer] I've
seen a lot of ball games

in my time, but I gotta
tell you, I just don't know

how you come back from
an inning like that.

Unforced error after
unforced error.

You gotta question
where your mindset's at.

This is the big show,
not the sandlot.

I can tell you one thing.

There's gonna be a
lot of second guessing

in that locker room tonight

if they don't turn
things around.

They may find a
way to come back,

but at this point, it's
gonna take a miracle.

- Who's this?

(hip hop song playing)

? Shorty what it do,
let me holla at you ?

? I know it's been a minute ?
since we've been cool ?

? All the bullshit that ?
we've been through ?

? Now you got a new life ?
and a boyfriend too ?

? Baby, that's cute
how he call you boo ?

? Homie's all sprung ?
got your name tattooed ?

- Oh, shit!

Is that Will?

- Big Time is back!

Visiting the little people.

- Gentlemen. (chuckles)

What's up, brother?
- What's up, bro?

- Good to see you, man.

- Likewise, man.

- Ooh, look at this
guy looking all snappy.

- Where's the Bronco?

- Oh, dude, I sold it, man.

- Ah.

- To some bougie ass East
Coaster who's in town

trying to take it up the PCH.

- Man, I told you, if
you were gonna sell it,

I would have bought it.

- Bro, he gave me like five
grand over asking price.

- I'd have given you five
grand under asking price.

- That's a lot.

- Dude, I saw that clip online.

That shit was crazy, man.

- Wait, which one?

- The one where we got that
award, and JLo presented.

Good for you, man.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was this little
documentary that I shot.

- Pss.

Bro, I'm little.

You ain't gotta be humble, man.

You touched JLo.

Life goals right there.

- Yo, no bullshit, man.

I saw that little moment you had

when she came over and
gave you the trophy.

I know you, Will.

I know that look.

- (chuckles) She's very
sweet, man, and charming.

- Come on, bro.

- And incredibly hot.

- I just wanna make sure.

- You even made Alex proud, bro

with your whole inspiring,
go Latino speech.

- Dude, that was
all for him, man.

Where is he?

Dude, where's the crew?

- You're looking at it, man.

Everyone's grown up.

Even this guy is done.

- Bullshit, man.

I do what I wanna do.

I mean, I'm here, right?

Nobody telling me where to go.

- Ha.

- Brian, let's go.

- Oh, shit, hold my beer.

Babe, I'm with an
award-winning filmmaker here.

- We're late.

- It's 5:26.

You said 5:30.

I got four minutes.

- Brian Christopher,
let's go right now!

- Shit, I gotta go.

- Brian Christopher?

- Sometimes you gotta
do what you gotta do

for the relationship.

- Yes, sir.

Have fun, Brian Christopher.

- Mercedes.

- Hello, Lisa.

- Hi.

Why do you always make
me use your middle name?

- You look beautiful
today, babe.

- Beautiful? (speaking spanish)

- Young love. (chuckles)

- Things have gotten
quiet since you moved out.

- Yeah, it's been
about four years now.

- It's been good, seeing
the guys do their thing,

take care of their kids.

It's a trip.

- Yeah, I'm sure, man.

What about you?

- I got a girl in Chino Hills,

thinking about
moving in with her.

(Will laughs)

- What, are you getting
soft on me now, Hugito, huh?

- Happens to the
best of us, man.

Besides, this neighborhood's
changing, man.

Nothing but white people doing
yoga and drinking $10 juices.

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna make a fortune
selling this house.
- I bet.

- You want a beer?

- Oh, actually, no.

I gotta...

I gotta run in and take
care of some business, man.

But if you're gonna be out
here in a little while,

I'll come back
and I'll grab one.

- Yeah.

- Keep it cold.

- (chuckles) No.

Well, my plan is to be
outta here by tonight.

Yeah, I think I can do it.

Although just,

Chris, of course, has
left many a thing behind.

And you know, if
he doesn't see it,

then it's not his
responsibility.

So of course, then I pack it
up and herein lies the problem.

That's Chris for you. (gasps)

- I should have knocked.

- I,

Ness, I gotta go.

No, I,

no, I just, I found a,

something that Chris left behind
and I gotta get rid of it.

Okay, I'll talk to you later.

All right, bye.

- Subtle.

(Michele sighs)

I was in the neighborhood.

I thought I'd stop by and
see if you needed some help.

- You are like a virus.

- Excuse me.

- That just keeps mutating.

Yeah, I think that
I've beaten you,

and then, what's the word?

- [Will] Relapse?
- No. (chuckles)

A relapse would infer

that I gave into the
virus in the first place.

Whatever this is
has been dormant.

And then suddenly--

- An infection?

- No, an infection would
be my very brief marriage.

This is

an ailment.

Yeah, and it's become
a chronic condition

that has returned to the
middle of my living room.

- So I take it you
guys aren't cordial.

- (sighs) Understatement.

I thought I married a man.

It turns out he just
wanted me to be his nanny.

- Hey, look.

I'm sorry things didn't
work out with you and Chris.

If you wanna talk
about it, we could--

- Sure, let's talk.

Why can't men just
show love, huh?

Why the insecurities?

Why the selfishness?

Why can't they see the mess
they make in front of them

and just clean it up?

- Am I supposed to answer
all those questions

or just the last one?

- Why can't you
just become the men

that your mother's
hoped that you would be

instead of just remaining a
child and refusing to grow

and then just finding
another mother

who thought that she
signed up to be a wife?

- We need a lot of praise.

- For what?

- For everything.

We haven't evolved as a species
very far from the caveman.

We no longer get the adoration

of capturing and
slaughtering a mastodon,

so what we need is
constant praise.

- Even if you've done nothing?

- [Will] Yes.

- And if you've done something?

- [Will] Double the praise.

- This feels true.

- Actually, what you should
say is, "This feels true.

"Good answer, Will."

- If only I had praised
his simple existence.

So how's your delayed
manhood treating you?

(Will chuckles)

- Whoa.

- Well, I've seen your posts.

- Are you spending a lot of
time on social media these days?

- That's what those of us

in the midst of a
divorce have to do.

After, we can reintegrate,

but during, it's
awkward for everyone.

- Which posts?

- I see you also found
yourself a 24-year-old

and a wannabe actress at that.

- Yeah, at 24,
it's not a wannabe.

It's up and coming.

- Congratulations.

- She's actually a
really nice girl.

But, it's kinda hard to relate.

And she's a little
awkward around Renata,

so honestly, it's
not gonna last.

- So he does have
some sense left.

Oh no, if you're
here, you're helping.

- Yes, ma'am.

- You can take care
of some of this too.

(Will grunts)

- I got it.

No, no, no, please, no help.

- Your drop-by is
working out for me.

So what are you saving
from extinction now?

- My career.

(Michele scoffs)

Just kidding.

That's already extinct.

My agent.

- [Michele] Hmm,
your agent, fancy.

- Yeah, we didn't work out so
I'm soliciting other agents.

- Commitment issues,
what a surprise.

- Are you on some type
of mean pill today?

- Sorry.

It's been a stressful week.

- I'm sorry.

I can imagine.

- I don't think that you can.

Um, you were saying?

- No, it was nothing.

I was,

I was just saying that I
lost a lot of heat because

I turned down a lot of big
jobs that were on the road.

So I'm back at my old job.

I'm a partner now.

- Hmm.

- It's not glamorous,
but it's steady.

- So you're not chasing
the dream anymore?

- Actually, I chase
her every day.

When I catch her, she
just laughs and laughs.

She's the dream now.

- You're lucky you have her.

- [Will] Yeah.

- So how often do you see her?

- Everyday.

She lives with me.

- [Michele] Where?

- [Will] Here in LA.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Moira and I, we ended up
getting a duplex together.

She's in one and
I'm in the other.

- [Michele] Ah, how very adult.

- Well, there just wasn't
a lot of work in New Mexico

so she agreed to move,

after I hired her.

(Michele chuckles)

- Wait.

So she's the mother
of your daughter

and you're the boss of her?

- It's fine.

We co-parent well together.

Eyes on the prize.

- Impressive.

- And you?

- And me what?

- You're the one that's moving?

- Yeah, I'm better
off at the beach.

- And Chris?

- He moved in with his
young adult last week.

- Sad to see this place go.

So many great memories.

- Why are you here, Will?

- I saw you post a picture.

- The on to the next one?

- Yeah.

And I miss you.

- This is not a
good time for me.

- I understand.

- I'm acting like I have a
tremendous amount of control,

but in all honesty, I'm about
to have a meltdown right now.

- No, it's okay.

- I need a minute.

(Will sighs)

- Shit.

(Michele sobs)

Nice.

- Nice.

You want something to drink?

- Yeah, I'll have
what you're having.

Thank you.

- Giants, huh?

- Yeah.

You inspired me to
become a baseball fan.

Nothing I like more than
watching the Dodgers lose.

- Okay.

- What's Renata's size?

I'll get her a jersey.

- Oh, no, she's actually
out of the diaper stage now,

so no need for that.

You should meet her.

Maybe we could grab
dinner tomorrow.

- I'm pretty sure I'm
not ready for that.

- Oh, no, no, it'd be
something super chill,

at the house, no pressure.

- I can't really do anything
until I'm outta here.

You know, the whole
ever-flowing joys

of irreconcilable differences.

- Yeah, I would have thought

Chris would have
grown up by now.

- Me too.

- [Will] How old is she?

- 24.

- [Will] Ah.

- Yeah, just like
your up-and-comer.

- She's not mine.

She's just my date on occasion.

- Yeah, that's probably
how it started for Chris.

He'll learn.

At 20, they think they
have all the solutions

to all the problems caused
by everybody over 30

and they just can't
wait to tell you

how they're gonna
clean up your mess.

- Yeah, I've had an uptick
in life satisfaction

ever since I started
listening to my elders.

- God, it's amazing.

The whole wisdom
and experience thing

they talked about was real.

- [Will] Shocking.

- God, you know
you're getting old

when you're bitching about
the generation below you.

No wonder he left.

I don't even recognize
myself anymore.

- Hey, you're in there.

- This isn't me.

Every time I open
myself up to love,

I just get the shit
kicked out of me.

- [Will] Don't let it.

- I'm just so tired.

- Hey, look.

I'm really, really sorry

that things didn't work
out with you and Chris.

- You know, when he left,
I gave him a choice,

and he made the same
decision as my father.

- What, you finally
got an answer?

You had mentioned that you
never knew what happened,

that things would have
been a little bit easier

if you at least had a reason.

- Good memory.

Yeah, he came back
out of nowhere,

a little too late
to change the past.

- Hey.

There's a future.

On your terms now, all right?

No more wondering.

I can help you put the rest
of the stuff in the truck.

- [Michele] I don't need you to.

- I know.

I want to.

- I got it.

- Well, I'm on my way out anyway

so I'll just grab that last one.

- Will, our lives
are not intertwined.

I have not been pining for you.

You made your choices,
and I made mine.

We can pretend like
we had something like,

like, like an old comfort
because it feels nice,

but we barely know each other.

- Look, I understand
why you would say that.

I do.

But if you recall,

the last few times that
we saw each other--

- [Michele] It was
just the two times.

- Well, listen, I just
wanna make it clear

that I'm not here to try to
rekindle some type of anything.

- Well then, why are you here?

- I don't think we ever grow up,

on the inside, that is.

I feel like a part of
us always stays a child.

And watching Renata
grow into this charming,

beautiful person, I'm
left in so much wonder.

And honestly, it makes me sad

that I can't share special
moments like that with you,

someone that I connected to,
even if it was just two times.

- I don't know you.

- Look, but I know you.

I do.

I know your spirit.

I know you probably think
this sounds ridiculous,

but I met this beautiful
person four years ago.

And I was a fool then.
But I'm not a fool now.

We had a moment.

And trust me, I wish it would've
been a lot more than that,

but you know what, that's on me.

But for now I just,

I feel like we're supposed
to be in each other's lives

in some way.

- I would really love that.

- [Will] Great.

- But I can't.

- I understand.

I had to take a swing.

- It was good to see you, Will.

Thank you for dropping by.

- It was good to see you too.

- You're just gonna leave?

- Strike three.

I wasn't gonna take it looking.

- And that's it?

- You said you
didn't want my help.

- I did say that.

I have to do this on my own.

Uh, Will.

- [Will] There she is.

- You can't go without
a baseball story.

Isn't that our thing?

- Okay.

Let's see.

This is our third encounter.

Three's such a terrible
number in baseball,

three strikes, three outs.

- Well, not if
you're on defense.

- True.

- Yeah, three-game lead
in the World Series,

300 batting average,
hitting a standup triple.

- Look at you.

You really did get
into baseball, huh?

- Yeah, a little.

- Okay.

You're right.

We're on third base.

We hit that third strike.

Deep into a corner, stretch
a double into a triple,

or maybe we just got
here on a bad throw.

We haven't earned it.

But it doesn't matter
how we got here

because here we
are on third base.

- Okay.

What next?

- 1955 World Series, Dodgers
versus Yankees, game one.

Jackie Robinson's
standing on third base

in a house that Ruth built.

No one in the entire stadium
thought it was possible.

But you know what
Jackie was thinking?

Steal home.

- And?

- He was safe!

But not without
controversy, of course.

To his grave, the
great Yogi Berra

insisted that he was out!

- And that's it?

- Yeah.

- It's a little anti-climactic.

- It's a really famous play.

- Well, thank you, Will.

- You're welcome, Michele.

Oh!

One more thing.

I will see you on Mondays
and Wednesdays in the fall.

- You didn't.

- Philosophy 112, The Soul
and Search for Meaning.

- That's stalking.

- I would have dropped the
class if this didn't work out

or if it went any
worse, of course.

- No one drops my class.

- Yes, professor.

Maybe one day after class,
we could go grab dinner.

- Yeah, I have a strict policy

against fraternizing
with my students.

- Oh, it's gonna make
Renata really sad.

- You told her about me?

- Well, once in a while

I would tell her a
story about a princess

who just happens to
be named Michele.

- [Michele] And what's
the prince's name?

- Paco.

- Prince Paco.

Yeah, that's got a ring to it.

- [Will] Yes, it does.

- Well,

I have to finish up here, so.

- I'll see you later.

- Will.

One more thing.

(plane engine whirs)

- (indiscernible)

(plane engine whirs)

(nostalgic music playing)

? I never really
got why we're here ?

? Just look at all we
build in our lives ?

? And we all disappear ?

? A few of us are
born with so much ?

? While most of us just ?
chasing down a dream ?

? That we just can't touch ?

? So why we try so
hard in this place ?

? When pain and suffering
is a guarantee ?

? And happiness is a phase ?

? I wonder if one
day we're at peace ?

? Or will this whole
world just become ?

? Like the Middle East ?

? But when I was younger, ?
when I was younger ?

? I had the answers,
I've got to say ?

? But all of my answers, ?
now that I'm older ?

? Turned into questions
in front of me ?

? I wonder if we
get one true love ?

? Or maybe there's a few out ?
there or maybe not even one ?

? I wonder if it's
made up by man ?

? I wonder if love is what we ?
make with our own two hands ?

? I wonder why I write
all these songs ?

? I wonder if you know ?
what you're saying ?

? When you sing along ?

? And will you know my ?
name when I'm gone ?

? Or are you just too sick ?
of all these love songs ?

? But when we were younger, ?
when we were younger ?

? I had the answers,
I've got to say ?

now that I'm older ?
