Oh, hey, Tina.
Sorry, I'm in a rush.

It's coffee with
the principal day,

and I have to stop
at Starbucks

because school coffee
is straight trash. Ugh.

Look, r-real quick.
Feel this.

Whoa, that's
a lot of cash.

Why do you
have all that?

If it's illegal,
don't tell me, Tina.

I'm a snitch.

It's advanced ticket sales
for our school musical.

Word must have gotten around
that the director's a genius.

Oh, okay, so you're
a genius now?

Follow the money, mama.

Follow the money.

Oh, have a good day, baby.

Oh.
Mwah.

Hoping to beat traffic.
Okay.

Oh, hey, Calvin. I know
what you're wondering,

and the, uh, the answer is no.

What was I wondering?

Oh, well, you were wondering
if my dad has reached out to me

since I accepted
his friend request one week ago.

He has not.

Oh, well, sorry to hear that.

Hey, it's his loss.

Yeah. (sighs)
You know...

...hadn't thought
about him for years,

but then Grover
found his picture online

and memories
just came flooding back.

Yeah. Yeah, I can see that.
Okay, got to go.

You know, every time
I pass a Pizza Hut,

I remember he used to take
me there every Friday

after Little League.

Yeah, I would
go to the salad bar

and fill my pockets
with croutons.

I literally would have
ants in my pants.

Hey, you got to remember
the good times.

Okay, now, talk to you later.

And then one Friday, the Hut
introduced stuffed crust.

I'm so jazzed to
try it with my dad.

That was the Friday
that he disappeared.

Just felt lost ever since.

All right.

Tell me more.

Well, there was a time
I had testicular torsion.

I had no one
to talk to about that.

And you still don't.

Okay, how about we, uh, skip
to the part of your life

where you are
a father and a husband?

You know, like,
if you saw your dad today,

what would you say to him?

(sighs) I don't know.
I guess I...

Guess I would say, uh,

"Hey, Lamar.

"It's great to see you again.

Thanks for abandoning me."
And then face punch!

Okay. All right.
You know what, Dave?

Maybe it's a good thing
he hasn't responded to you.

Yeah, well, maybe it's a good
thing that I haven't responded

to him.
Face punch again.

God, just thinking
about him makes me angry A.H.

You know what? I'm just
gonna go ahead and say it.

Angry as heck!

(door closes)
Oh, damn.

* Welcome to the block,
welcome to the neighborhood *

* Welcome to the hood. *

Dad? You haven't left yet?

I tried, but I got Dave'd.

Yeah, well, I've been there,

but we need to head over
to the Fuse Box.

Some of the people we hired
don't actually do anything

until I get there.

Look, son, you're gonna have to

light a fire under their asses.

That's your job now.

Management is more than
having a parking spot.

You have a parking spot?

I'm paying $20
to park at the bank.

Hey.

Excuse me. I'm looking

for 1172 Evergreen Drive.

Uh, yeah, that's next door.

Oh, then you must know
my son, David Johnson.

Oh, damn.

You're Lamar?

I am he, and he is I,

and both of me
is delighted to meet you.

(laughs)

Yeah, you are definitely
Dave's daddy.

(laughs)

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm just gonna pop in on my son.

Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. I mean, what's the rush?

I mean, you've been
gone for 30 years,

what's 30 more minutes?
I think we should talk.

* *

Okay, we're gonna need lots
of spare parts, so I'm gonna

need you guys to hit up
car auctions, salvage yards.

Uh... Oh, Reynard,

you know we started at 10:00.

Yeah, sorry,
my girlfriend's cat.

Oh, no, I-I'm sorry.
Did-did the cat die?

Oh, no, she just has a cat.

You know how it is.

Uh, no, I-I don't. Uh, anyway,

as I was saying,
I've compiled a list

of E.V. parts and
models that we need.

We need motherboards
touch screens,

batteries... Oh, uh,
uh, uh, Reynard.

Uh, R-Reynard,
what are you doing, man?

Oh, my phone's
at one percent, bro.

You can't just unplug things.

I-I was updating our servers.
Now I got to restart the update.

Here. Hey, let's just take ten.

(scoffs) Ten's a
pretty short break.

You just got here.

Hey, lil' bro. I came to
take you out to lunch, but, uh,

looks like you got
your hands full.

That guy sucks.

Yeah, Reynard.

You know, he was great
when we worked together at JPL.

We used to always
screw around together

and make fun of the boss.

But now that I am the boss,
that guy sucks.

Daddy's gonna have to fire him.

Uh, wait, why can't you do it?

You know I'm not
good at confrontation.

I sign every petition
outside of Trader Joe's,

no matter what they're for.

Dad always knocks the clipboards
out of their hand.

Well, Marty, you
keep telling Pop

you want to be treated
like a full partner, right?

Well, drop the hammer
down on that dude.

Go on, now.

And I-I've got to ask,

what were your parents thinking

when they named you Lamar?
Mm.

It's actually a combination
of my parents' names.

Oh.
Oh.

Well, that makes sense.

Latasha and Marcellus.

Of course.

(both chuckle)

Lamar, I got to be
straight with you.

Your son and I are good friends.

Best friends?

He would say that, yes.

And that's why

I wanted to talk to you before

I took you over to see Dave.

He's got complicated
feelings about you.

I-I'm sure you can
understand why.

I get it. I've been out
of his life for years.

When I heard from him,

I couldn't find the words
to write back,

so I just hopped on a bus
and here I am.

(knocking)
Hey, Calvin,

I got your text.
What's the emergency?

Oh, hi. Who's this?
Oh, my God, you're Lamar.

Are you Lamar? You're Lamar.
Dave's gonna freak out.

Don't let him see him. Oh, wait,

that's why you brought him
over here. I'm sorry.

I've had so much coffee
this morning.

You must be Gemma.

Actually, it's Gemma
with a "juh."

Well, you're as beautiful
as you are caffeinated.

Thank you.

Uh, Tina, Gemma, let me talk
to you guys for a second.

Oh. Oh, okay. Excuse us.

(chuckles)
Excuse. Yeah.

Look, uh,

Gemma, this is your call,

but should we take him
to meet Dave?

Oh, God. I mean,
he is Dave's father.

Hi. Sorry.
(others gasp)

But I'd love
to go see my son now.

Yeah. Come on. Yeah, let's go.

Uh, Reynard, can we talk?

Sure. I'm doing
literally nothing.

Uh...

Look, man... (sighs)
Hm?

I'm concerned that your talents

are being underused
here at the Fuse Box.

Clearly, you're capable
of much more, and

I think
we need to make a change.

I've been feeling
the same way.

You have?
Oh, good.

You know, sometimes,
a-a job's requirements

and applicant skills
just don't sync up, you know?

It's nobody's fault.
Agreed.

Yeah. Well,
I'm glad we talked.

You know, goodbye
and, you know, uh,

good luck with that cat.

Thanks for the pep talk.
All right. (chuckles)

I'll see you at lunch.
What the...

Hi, honey.

Hey, buddy.

You okay?
Yeah.

Okay, um, why-why don't you
put down the box?

Just recycling.

Hey, you know
if they take these?

Whoa!

Whoa.
Okay, uh, okay,

Dave, w-why don't you
have a seat?

We have something
we want to tell you.

And we don't want you
to get upset.

Stop it.

Look, Dave,

someone's here
to see you. Now,

you may think it's a bad thing,

but we are hoping
it's a good thing.

Come on in.

David. Son.

Lamar?

I want you to know

that I'm so, so sorry.

Okay, D-Dave, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You don't want to do this. Dave!

Oh.

Okay.

All right. Well, or that.

Do you remember that time
I took you to the movies

to see Fern Gully:
The Last Rainforest,

but we went
into the wrong theater?

It was Basic Instinct.
(laughs)

I can't believe it took us
an hour to figure that out.

Oh, your mom was so mad.

Yeah, mom was mad.

Mom was mad a lot back then.

E-Especially when you left
and never came home again.

Ooh.

That turned fast.

You know, I was really mad, too.
I still am.

And I certainly
owe you an explanation.

Yeah, you do.

He's been very upset
for a long time.

And that's understandable.

The truth is,

being absent wasn't my choice.

It was the choice
of a jury of my peers.

Oh, damn.
Oh, damn.

Wait,

were you in prison?

Well... yes.

Was it a violent crime?

Because if it was,
my friend Calvin

is gonna take you
right out of here.

No.

No, no, no, I'm not a monster.

Yeah, and-and I'm not
a bouncer, Dave.

I stole some money,
but it was a victimless crime.

I took a bunch of money
from some rich people.

I was like Robin Hood,

legendary hero
of the common folk.

Who'd you give
the money to?

Oh, I kept it.

I was not exactly
like Robin Hood.

Dave, I so wanted
to tell you,

but I didn't want you
to live with the stigma.

Your mother agreed.
Oh, boy, did she agree.

But the hardest thing
about prison

was not being able
to see my son.

What about when you got out?

I was a loser.

I was embarrassed.

Then I pulled myself together

and I worked up the courage
to send you the friend request.

I'd seen pictures of you
and your family on Facebook.

So happy.

So, I've been waiting,

hoping we can have
some kind of relationship.

Well...

face punch seems
a lot less likely now.

Was face punch on the table?

(laughs) Oh, yeah,
it was a face punch Oh.

and a nut kick and something
to do with jazz hands.

I don't know how Reynard didn't
understand I was firing him.

I told him he was being
underused at the Fuse Box,

that it wasn't a good
match for his skills

and that he'd be
much happier elsewhere.

Well, that's
pretty much perfect.

The only thing you left out
was "you're fired."

It was implied.
It was really, really implied.

(laughs)

Look, it doesn't matter
how implied it was, Marty.

People are gonna hear
what they want to hear.

You know, if you
said that to me,

I would just say,
"Thanks, man."

He just said, "Thanks,
man," didn't he?

Yeah.

Look, bro, as a coach,

sometimes I have to
give players bad news.

The thing I've learned is
it is best to be direct.

Well, it seems mean.

You are damn
right it's mean,

but it is nicer
in the long run.

Okay. Help me.

Teach me your blunt
and brutal ways.

(sighs)

Okay. (clears throat)
I'll be you,

you'll be Reynard.
All right.

Yeah? Sit down.

Don't sit down.
You're fired.

(gasps)

Tina.

I don't mean to
toot our own horns,

but we did
a good thing

for Dave today.

Calvin, quick question,
by any chance,

did you see an envelope
full of cash

that I left on the counter?

Uh, no. Why?

Ugh. It's gone.
It's the school's money.

And I left it here so I wouldn't
forget to move it into the safe,

but I forgot.

I think you're missing
the point of a safe. (laughs)

You put things straight into it
to make it safe.

Hence the name-- safe.

Are you done?

(chuckles)
Come on, come on.

It's got to be here somewhere.

(sighs)
All right? We haven't had anybody

in the house
who could have, uh...

Oh. Oh.
Oh? Oh, oh, what?

What, what, what?

Lamar. He just told us
that he's been in prison.

He was?

And I gave that thief
bottled water.

I knew I should have just
tapped his ass.

So they fed you
dinner at 05:00?

Yeah, it wasn't
my biggest problem with prison.

But I got to be honest, I still
get hungry at 5:00. (chuckles)

Do you have an apple?

Hey, Calvin, Tina,

Lamar was just telling us
about his time in the joint.

(door closes)

Did you know that you could
wash clothes in the toilet?

Hey, I did not.

But why don't you tell us
all about it

in the kitchen?
Yeah.

Ooh, and get Lamar an apple.
Oh, yeah.

(sighs)

Hey, uh, Calvin, Tina,
I have to thank you

for everything that
you did for me today.

You know, I finally
feel like this huge...

hole in my life has been filled.

Well, we're about
to rip it back open.

What do you mean?

Dave,

Lamar took
Tina's envelope of money.

What?
CALVIN: Yeah.

He cracked your safe?

Money doesn't always
have to be in a safe.

Maybe somebody
else took it.

It had to be him, Dave.

He's-he's the only one that's
been in our kitchen and prison.

I should have known.

Hate to be pushy,

any ETA on that apple?

You have got some nerve.

An orange?

You know what? Lamar,

get out of my house.

What?

Get out of my house.

Get out of my house.

Whoa, Dave, what's going on?

This man is a thief.

Where's the money, Lamar?

What money?

You see?

That's exactly what
a thief would say.

Look at him, hands shaking,
stomach growling.

It's 5:15. I'm starving.

He stole money
from their kitchen.

The money from the play?

(Gemma sighs)

And I was gonna
give you an apple.

How could I be so naive?

You know, I really thought
that we were

starting to build something.

Me too.
Dave, you have to trust me...

T-Trust?
Why would I ever trust you?

You know, this is exactly
what I should have expected.

Everybody said that
you were a selfish loser.

Mom, all the kids at school,
every waitress at Pizza Hut.

But for some reason,
I held out hope.

Get out of my house, Lamar.

Get out of my life.

You already know how to do that.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, everyone.

(door closes)
(sighs) This is sad.

I know.

He's leaving with my money.

Poor Dave.
I mean, what a roller coaster.

What happened?

Well, Dave had a dad,

then he didn't have a dad,
then he got his dad back

and he lost him again.

And on top of that,

my fat envelope
of cash got taken.

Oh, you mean the one
that was on the counter? Yeah.

Oh, I put that
in the safe this morning.

What? Wh...
Why would you do that?

So it would be safe.
(short chuckle)

That's why they call it
a safe, Mama.

Hey, uh, Mal-Mal... Mm-mmm.

Not now.

Oh, my God, Calvin.

And you accused that poor man
of stealing the money.

Hey, I mean, you got to admit,
it was a good guess.

Okay, uh, I'll check arrivals,
you check departures.

Dave, this is a bus station.

There's no arrivals or
departures. It's just a curb.

Right. Um...

Okay, w-what if he's already
gone through security?

No security, just a curb.

Yeah, well,
we must have missed him.

(sighs) Look, Dave,

I'm sorry I led you
down this path.

He just looked guilty.

It's all right, Calvin.

You only got involved
because, well,

you love me.

Da... Wha...

What'd I tell you about
throwing the L-word around

all willy-nilly like
this in public?

Ooh, there he is. Lamar. Lamar.

David, what are you doing here?
Uh, well... (sighs)

we wanted to tell you that

we found the money.

Oh, I'm glad.

I told you I didn't take it.
Yeah.

Look, I'm partially responsible.
He's totally responsible.

Look... (sighs)

This is hard for me.

Let me make it easy.
Apology accepted.

Yeah, no.

I'm not apologizing.

You know, I thought
the worst of you

because you never
gave me any reason

to trust you.

You have to earn that.

How can I do that?

I haven't quite
figured that part out yet.

But I'm willing to
work on it with you.

Me too, son.

MAN: (over P.A.):
Bus 343 is now departing for Oxnard.

That's my bus.

Hope I see you again soon.

Hey, uh, I-I have
one question, man. Um...

You know, there is a-a Lamar,

Latasha, and a Marcellus.

So, where did David come from?

Oh, that was actually a fight
I lost with his mom.

I wanted to name him LaDavid.

Come on, lil' bro,
you got this, all right?

You're right, you're
right. I got this. Yeah. Okay.

(singsongy):
Good morning!

You are fired!

What?

Boom.
You are fired.

Terminated. Canned. Finito!

Your employment here
has come to an end.

Sayonara and good luck
on future endeavors,

wherever they are,
because they will be elsewhere.

Because, to be clear,

Reynard Kittay,

you are fired.

But the cat has a...

I don't give a damn
about no cat!

Malcolm?
Yeah?

Please escort this man
off the premises

in case he acts a fool.

Let's go, Reynard.
(scoffs)

Can I at least get my Red Bull
out fridge?

I drink your Red Bull.

I drink it up.

Wow.

Who are you?

I, my good man, am a boss.

Yes, you are.
And you know what?

I think you deserve
a parking spot.

Well, all right.
(laughs)

What-what...
Do we have one of those?

Well, sure we do, if you,

uh, paint some lines
next to the dumpster.

Go on, now.
