[arrows whooshing]
Radio Announcer: Runner at second takes his lead.
D'Amato has his sign.
2-0 pitch on the way.
And that's a shot to left center.
Wayne: Screw me!
[metal clanking]
Moron.
Radio Announcer: And the batter's gonna pull in at second
with a stand up double, so the situation just got a whole lot--
Wayne: Dammit, D'Amato, get your...
Frickin' moron.
Radio Announcer: Riba drove it right where he wanted to.
D'Amato hasn't been able to do it right now.
If he can settle down in this situation and get an out,
Wayne: Throw him the slider.
Don't be a dumbass, D'Amato.
Chuck: You know he likes that fastball.
- Yup, if he's stupid.
Gotta make him reach.
- Call it in.
They need you, Wayne.
- Hey, would you shut up, Chuck?
- Hey, you should be General Manager now.
- Hey, all I'm saying is you've gotta make him reach.
- All I'm saying is D'Amato loves that high cheese, right?
- Thanks for that.
- But you know what, hey look at me.
You know best.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I do know best.
Radio Announcer: Swing and a drive,
deep center field!
- Are you shittin' me?
[Chuck laughing] Hey, that's enough.
- I'm sorry.
- Hey, no, I ain't kiddin' ya.
That's enough out of you, Chuck!
God dammit!
[slamming]
- What did I say about drinkin' while you're working, Wayne?
- It's after four, Elmer.
I ain't even supposed to be here.
- Ain't getting paid either.
20 hours a week max.
Told you 10 times.
- Yeah, I'm just trying to finish this up for ya.
- Well, I ain't paying you for it.
- Okay...
Dokey.
Radio Announcer: Fastball has not been working
for D'Amato that much is clear so far in this game.
You try to keep the spirits up.
It's a long season.
Wayne: Yeah yeah, what do you think about that, huh?
Yeah, yeah? [laughing]
- Gimme my hat!
Oh! [laughing]
[car starting]
[light music]
Good night, mercy
With you 'til the end
The earth it keeps on spinning
Good night
The night makes you thirsty
Drink up one more time
Let's not start a fight now, good night
There's no catch to
All the ways I love you
Do your best to
Lock me out but I'm still here
Good night, mercy
The day comes to pass
- More for the lovebirds!
- Okay!
Good night
-Woah, that was a good one.
There's no end to
All the ways I love you
- Wayne!
Do my best to
Hang on tight
Yeah I'm still here
Good night, mercy
You haven't said a thing
Passed down through my singing
Good night
[people cheering] - Go baby, go baby, come on!
Crowd: Wayne, Wayne, Wayne!
[shattering]
[crowd oohing]
- God dammit!
- Wayne, Wayne, Wayne!
Are you all right, you okay?
Hey, that was kind of awesome.
[laughing]
- Mhmm, Mhmm!
[somber piano music]
[cuckoo clock sounding]
Oh, crap.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh, hey there.
You all right in there, buster?
There you go, yeah.
You really gotta learn to shit in one place, huh.
Look at you, all right.
Get you, ah, come.
Hey, hello?
Dee, I'm gonna be a little, hello?
[phone beeping]
[tires screeching]
Wayne: Hey, Diedra.
Sorry, I-- - He's inside. I'll go get him.
- All right, I'll just wait out here then.
- Hey Wayne.
How you doing?
What you got going on today?
- Oh, not much, just play it by ear. We'll see.
- St. Augustine's having their carnival
with the raffle and the dunker thingy this afternoon.
- Is that right?
- So listen--
Since we got a moment here,
I just wanna say about this court thing.
I apologize.
It's not personal.
I need the job.
- Well take it.
But no need to apologize,
'cause you're not taking my kid to New Mexico.
- Arizona.
- Wherever.
- Phoenix is a good place, Wayne.
Not just for me, there'd be opportunities for--
- Whatever, Stu.
You heard the judge last time this crap came up.
I'm his dad, not you, okay?
Hey, there's my champ!
How's it going, pal?
- Good.
- Yeah, you ready to have a good weekend?
- Yeah! - Huh yeah, all right!
Why don't you wait in the car for a second, okay?
Man, getting heavy.
Hey, Dee.
Can I just talk to you for a second?
I was thinking that,
maybe I don't know, I can keep Tyler 'til Monday?
You know that way I'd get a little extra time with him,
and it's the back and forth with the gas and all.
- Do you need gas money, Wayne?
- No, no, that's not what I'm saying.
I was just thinking that,
that I could get a little extra time with him.
And I don't know, maybe--
- What about court Monday?
Or Sunday school tomorrow, did you think about that?
- No.
- Okay, I need him back by 10, please.
- Ah, jeez!
- At the latest.
- What is it with the evil eye you've been giving me
ever since I got here?
- You're late again.
- Yeah and I tried to call you to tell you that.
- I don't wanna hear it.
I just, I don't want you disappointing our son.
- Disappointing him?
What are you talking about?
Did he say that?
- What happened to your car?
- Nothing, that's,
that happened at work.
That is a work mishap.
Ah, jeez, for crying outside,
can I just come pick up my son for once
without getting the third degree?
- Sure, when you start acting like a responsible adult.
- Okay, fine.
As a responsible adult, I gotta tell you,
that guy over there?
The French got a word for him, douchebag, okay?
I don't like the way he looks at me.
I don't like the way he talks,
he talks to me like he's the dad.
For crying out loud, I'm the--
- Great.
- Hey champ.
You ready to hit it?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
All right, why don't you go get in the car?
- Have him back on time, please.
[light music]
- Sorry.
[Tyler humming]
Any trains coming?
All clear?
Clear.
- What?
- I asked you if there were any trains coming.
- Oh.
I was thinking about something else.
- What kind of co-captain are you,
you're not gonna tell me if a train's coming or not?
- Oh, okay.
- Come on.
Hey, all right, all right, uncle!
You're getting strong, you know that?
Jeez!
Look at you.
What else is going on, huh?
How's your girlfriend, what's her name?
- What girlfriend?
- Come on, you're really not gonna tell me again?
- Stop asking about girlfriends
I don't have, I don't want, and I don't need.
- Right, right, fair enough.
But you know you can talk to me about anything, right?
Like how you're feelin'.
Like if you're not sure of something
or if you're disappointed in anything.
You could tell me that stuff.
- Uh huh.
- So you're not any of those?
You're not disappointed in like a pal
or maybe one of your teachers
or even your old man over here?
You can tell me.
- Well.
D'Amato sorta sucked yesterday.
- You're damn right he su--
darn, shit, shoot!
Hey, forget that one, okay?
- Okay.
- Yeah, dum dum D'Amato blew that game didn't he?
- Yeah.
Dum dum D'Amato.
[Wayne laughing]
Wayne: For crying outside.
I got nobody, who'd you get?
- Jimmy Benshaw.
- Are you shittin' me, I mean kiddin' me?
You got Jimmy Benshaw?
You are a lucky duck, you know that?
- Trade you for your Bob Hoyt and your Derek Gordon?
- Oh, a two-fer again?
Man, I don't know about that trade.
I think you might be getting the best--
the best of me on that one, huh?
I'll let you know when we get back, how's that sound?
- Okay.
- Go ahead, pick you out a worm.
Go ahead, I can't be worming your hooks for you forever.
- Does it hurt them?
- I don't think so.
See the worms, they don't have the same
nerve endings like we do.
Worms you can tell, is just,
they're just full of goo anyway.
So the way I see it,
we're kind of doing the worms a favor.
You know, think about it, you wanna be crawling around
in that muck your whole life?
Or you wanna go out in a blaze of glory,
like that worm that hooked your walleye last weekend.
You see what I'm saying?
Go ahead, grab the lucky winner.
Oh, that's a good one.
You got a good one, ooh.
Alright, you got your hook?
Get your hook.
- Okay. - Okay.
Just like me.
Nice and easy.
- You put it on this part.
- That's right, right there in the top.
Good, now you just drop it in the water.
- Better catch me a fish one day.
- Hey, see that was perfect.
See you can do anything that you put your mind to,
you know that?
And don't you ever let anybody tell you otherwise.
'Cause anybody tells you otherwise,
- Is a bum.
- That's right, and there's a lot of bums out there, okay?
Don't you forget about that.
I'm gonna cast mine out and then
do a little worm dance for good luck.
Here we go.
Little worm dance. Worm dance
Let's do the worm dance woo hoo
[light music]
Wayne: All right, let's go.
All right, go, ready?
All right, here we go.
Straighten up, straighten up, there you go.
Nice and straight.
Hold straight, all right.
Are you your tippy toes?
Right, stand still.
Alright, let's move out of there.
Are you shittin' me?
Jeez louise, look at that!
That's me at your age.
You got over an inch on me already!
We're gonna have to shrink you back down,
you son of a buck!
All right, here.
Write your name up there.
Finish up, and come help me out, alright?
Hurry up, I need a hand.
[scraping]
Some good elbow grease you got there, huh?
Let's get these in here. Come on.
Oh, look at that, champ.
Wow, that's amazing what some people
just throw in the trash, huh?
You know what, if you use your mind
you can always turn nothin' into something.
- Can we paint them next week?
- Darnit, can't we just?
Paint's expensive, champ.
Hey.
Listen.
Next time Menard's has that big paint sale,
let's say you come with me and I'll let you
pick out the paint, whatever color you want, huh?
Sound good, all right?
Well you walk around, you feel it out.
Tell me what color you think you'd like.
- What color did they used to be?
- They used to be ivory white.
The whole thing, real elegant.
- Ivory white!
- Yeah?
Deal.
- This one?
- That's the one.
Wayne, get your elbows off the table.
Sit up straight!
You keep slouching like that,
I'll put a board down the back of your pants.
What are you grinning at?
Hey you wipe that smirk off your face, you--
Go get me a beer!
Go get me another beer!
Go on, get!
Hurry up.
Ah, ah, hey, no.
From the back, you lazy bum.
I've been busting my butt at that mill all day.
It's a thousand degrees in there,
so when I come home, you get me the coldest beer
you can find.
You hear that?
[Tyler laughing]
Hey, don't you make me come over there.
I'm coming over there!
You better wipe that grin off your face.
[gentle music]
[dishes clanking]
Whoah, good one there, Ty.
Wow, how about that, huh?
Hey, you want another pop?
No?
What's wrong?
- My belly hurts.
- Oh, you know what,
it's probably all that sugar you had.
Here, stand up for a second.
Come here, you all right?
So it's your belly?
Okay, maybe try doing what I do.
Take a big, [inhaling]
and you swallow it like a cheeseburger. [belching]
Ooh, see, just like that, try that.
Big gulp of air, then swallow it.
[Tyler belching]
Oh yeah, there you go.
Feel better, is that better?
- Yeah.
- Attaboy.
Good, come here.
You gotta stay away from all that sugar, okay?
Let's not drink so many pops next time.
- Okay.
- All right.
See, my beers, they don't have sugar.
[cans clanking]
- Where's Buster?
- He's in there.
You know I keep telling that lazy bum
he's gotta clean his room.
- He can't.
He's a fish.
- [chuckling] Hey you wanna help me change his water?
- Okay.
- All right.
[cuckoo clock sounding]
Uh oh, game's about to start.
Tell you what.
We'll give him this in just a minute
but I gotta go down to the basement
and get the popcorn.
- [laughing] Take the elevator up!
- Elevator coming up!
- Watch out for the weird dude below the cupboard!
- There's not a weird du-- oh!
Oh, the weird dude's got me!
Whoah!
All right, wait wait wait,
Tyler, no, no no!
God dammit!
Son of a!
Shit, shit, shit!
Shit!
Hey, you can't go throwing water on an oil fire
like that, okay?
It just spreads it even more, you see that?
Oh, hey.
That is not your fault, champ.
You were just trying to help out
and I appreciate that.
You know what, this is a learning experience.
So it's my job to teach you
about things like this, okay?
It's a darn good learning experience, right?
So it's a good thing that this happened, okay?
Hey, so what do you say we just do chips instead, huh?
Radio Announcer: Kramer checks and delivers the ball up.
Nibbling a little bit here.
Nibbling a little bit here against him.
So Kramer,
[knocking]
Diedra: Wayne?
Wayne? - Huh, what?
Diedra: Tyler?
- Oh!
Yeah, yeah, shh.
Under here, under here, under here.
Champ, under here.
Yeah, I got, we'll be right there!
Diedra: Open the door!
- Okay, coming.
Hey, Diedra, what are you doing here?
- It's 11 o'clock!
- What?
No it's not. - Get your shoes on!
- Oh, the winder.
He didn't. - Oh, really?
- Well that, well Tyler helped
with the pop cans of course.
- Oh my god, what, was there a fire?
- Oh, just a little popcorn oil spill is all.
It was just small one, right, champ?
It wasn't big or anything.
- It was a learning experience.
- That's right.
- Get your stuff together
and wait for me in the car.
- But it's so small!
- Now!
- Right, it was a really small fire.
[somber music]
- You don't call, I don't know what's happened.
- Right, I'm sorry, Dee.
Hey, look, it was the clock, look!
- Save it for tomorrow.
- Oh come on, what are you doing?
- Your fish is dead.
- What?
Ah, Buster.
[car starting]
Judge: Mr. Stobierski, this isn't the first time
we've been through this.
And Mrs. Schmidt has every right to be concerned
about your son's safety.
- Why?
I don't do nothing to hurt him.
- It always starts with some kind of shenanigans.
- Shenanigans?
- And it turns into something worse.
He was drinking heavily around Tyler.
He was late for his curfew
and I'm pretty sure he was driving drunk.
- Diedra!
I'm right here.
Why are you talking to her like I'm not here?
- Mr. Stobierski, please,
just calm down. - Sorry, I just,
she's talking like I'm not even here
and Johnny Lucky over there's got a smile on his face.
How about I come over there and knock that smile
off your face, it's not a joke!
- That's a threat, your honor.
- A threat, he's talking like I'm not even here!
- Wayne!
One more outburst and I'll have you taken into custody
for contempt, I won't have a choice.
- I'm sorry, Jenny.
Judge, I just,
she's talking like, I'm just feeling cornered right now.
And this is all just because
my stupid cuckoo clock stopped working.
And the batteries--
- No it isn't.
This is about a pattern of behavior.
These are the results from your psychological examination.
You suffer from alcoholism,
minor but chronic depression,
you have anger management issues.
- No I don't have anger issues!
I'm not depressed.
- Your police record, aggravated assault,
public intoxications, two OWIs,
indecent public exposure.
- Yeah, I thought that it was a men's room.
- And you thought that the sink looked like a urinal.
- The sinks were very low in that ladies' room.
Very deceiving! - Now.
In the past, I've repeatedly turned down
Mrs. Schimdt's requests for full custody
to allow, on hardship grounds, a move to Arizona
I've done this even though Mr. Schmidt's company
offers full medical coverage for your son.
- Well, he just don't need it, he's a healthy kid.
- And I've done this because I've taken
your rights as a responsible father into account.
But at a certain point, as I've warned you,
Mr. Stobierski, a lack of responsibility on your part
diminishes those rights.
Your rights as a father becomes secondary
to the interests of your child.
Therefore, the State of Wisconsin feels
a change would be in everyone's best interests
particularly your son's.
- Particularly my son's?
Why don't we just ask my son?
Let's ask him.
I'll get him on the phone.
Let's ask him.
- We can't expect a nine year old to know what's best.
You have neglected your son's safety
and endangered him on numerous occasions.
Being such,
the state orders that full custody of Tyler
be turned over solely to his mother Mrs. Schmidt.
You're granted permission to make all decisions
on his behalf including where you choose to reside.
- Oh, thank God.
- Oh, shut up.
Hey, you shut your mouth!
- Wayne!
Wayne.
[somber music]
- Diedra?
Dee, are you gonna say something, Dee?
Now is the time.
Diedra, can you say something?!
Dee!
Okay.
You don't know me.
I thought you did.
None of yous know me.
[can hitting ground]
[can hitting floor]
[scoffing]
For Christ's sakes, you followin' me?
- You're not hard to find.
- What do you want, Dee?
What else you gonna take?
- Wayne.
- What, what?
Buy you a drink?
Please go ahead, on me.
- I just wanna talk,
please. - No, take it.
Take it all, Dee.
Here, have a Jaeger.
- Dammit, Wayne.
- What, I'm done!
I don't wanna talk, Dee.
I'm done with the damn talkin'.
- Wayne.
- What?
You're taking my son, Dee.
That's what you're doing.
Why?
- 'Cause you're a fuck-up.
- Okay.
- Look, it is what it is.
But I...
I wanna give you the chance to tell him.
- Tell him what?
Tell him what, Dee?
- We're moving.
- No.
- Wayne.
- You're not movin', Dee.
We know that you're not gonna go anywhere.
- Wayne.
- What?!
Why, why would I tell him that?
Why should I?
- 'Cause he's gonna be heartbroke, is why.
And he needs to hear it from you
that it's best for him.
- It ain't what's best.
- It is.
It's going to be a good change.
Change is good.
There's nothing here for him once he grows up.
- I'm here, Diedra.
I'm right here.
- You're gonna die.
You're gonna die just like your dad died.
It's best Tyler doesn't grow up to see that.
If you care about him, you'll let him go
instead of blaming me for takin' him.
Either way.
If you don't tell him, I will.
Let me know what you decide.
- Okay.
- And Wayne.
You can't keep fixing a house that's not yours anymore.
[door creaking]
- I told you you needed a lawyer.
- Yeah and how the hell was I gonna pay for one?
- Jesus, Wayne.
So when's all this supposed to happen?
- Listin' their damn house already.
Change is good, she says.
My ass!
How am I gonna afford to get out to Phoenix
more than once a year?
I don't get to be his dad no more.
- Does Tyler know yet?
[splatting]
- God dammit!
- Jeez.
- It's all right.
It's a nice shot.
Radio Announcer: A three in one situation here
as Valentine, he is not even swinging.
He's just saying hey, throw me a strike
and D'Amato has struggled to do so.
Coming from the wind up,
and guess what, folks.
So Valentine's aboard.
Siefer comes home with another run for St. Louis.
And D'Amato,
- Can they still win?
- Of course they can.
It ain't over 'til it's over.
Ready for a Usingers, Ty?
- It's a brat.
- It's not just a brat.
It's a Usingers!
Best brats in the world.
They haven't changed the secret ingredients
in that sausage for a hundred years, 'cause
a brat don't get any better than that.
- Yeah, don't change nothing
'cause change don't make things better.
- Did you know that the street where they make them
are still made out of bricks
just like in the horse and buggy days?
- Can we go?
- No, champ, that's all the way down in Milwaukee.
- Does everything good come from Milwaukee?
- The Packers are from Green Bay.
- But everything else.
Beer, Bucks, Dusingers.
- Usingers.
Well you know, you got an aunt
and a cousin down there, Ty.
- I do?
- You sure do.
Radio Announcer: And D'Amato starts--
It's a strike!
Right down the middle.
- Can we go, please?
- Get down there someday, champ.
- Okay.
Radio Announcer: Look, maybe D'Amato's getting back
a little confidence here.
0 and one.
[car revving]
- Hey Chuck, looks like Lorraine's having a great time.
- Oh, come on.
Jeff's had the hots for Lorraine
since fifth grade.
It don't mean nothing.
She married me.
- Chuck!
Could you grab me a beer? -Sure, okay.
- I just painted my nails.
- Hey, Lorraine.
Those two stumps below your ass
are what God gave you to move with.
- Screw you, Wayne.
- No thanks!
[somber piano music]
[car revving]
[tires screeching]
[Wayne screaming]
Man: Shut the fuck up, hey!
[dog barking]
[car revving]
[toilet flushing]
- I warned you, Buster.
I see you're chasing with another
And no there's nothing I can do
I know that love comes with no guarantee
But I believe the wind sets free
We'll have a big old house with lots of rooms
But the wind blows
And all the dreams just slipped away
Tom: Hey there Wayne.
What do you got for me today?
- Well, Tom.
I got all of them.
- You're kidding me.
- Nope.
Not a nick on any of those, mint condition.
- Your Hank Aaron rookie and Roger Maris still in there?
- Yep, all in there.
- Sheesh.
You getting married?
- You shittin' me?
No, just take a look and give me a fair price, okay?
Also, I need you to work your magic.
I need two tickets for Milwaukee Chicago, first base line.
Hey, hey, it don't matter what they cost.
- Saturday or Sunday you want?
- Make it Saturday.
No, no, no, make it Sunday.
No, no, no.
You know what, it don't matter.
Just give me the best seats you can find, okay?
Take a look.
Not a nick on any of those, mint condition.
[light music]
Hey, Dee.
Thanks for coming.
- Sure.
- So.
Waitress: Would you like a menu, Dee?
- Oh, no thanks, Bitsy.
- Wait, wait, wait, no.
You love the pie here.
Why don't you order a piece of pie?
- Because I don't have time.
- Oh, well to go then.
Would you, on me?
- Okay.
Yeah.
A piece of key lime to go please.
- Got it.
- So, how's things at the hospital?
- Fine.
- Yeah?
- So did you decide?
Are you gonna tell him or am I?
- No, you're right, I'll tell him.
It should come from me.
But I do have one favor to ask you in return.
I was thinking,
I was thinking that maybe I could keep Tyler
for a weekend before you leave.
- Wayne.
- Look, I just,
I wanna do something special for him.
Okay, I wanna take him someplace that I know
he's gonna-- - Wait, wait, wait.
You wanna take him out of town?
- Well, yeah.
But some place close by.
You know, I was thinking that maybe
Crescent Lake we could go to
and we could do some camping and fishing
and do like father-son stuff.
- I can't.
- Why?
What, no?
But you can.
Come on, Dee.
Look, all I'm asking for
is a little extra time with my son, okay?
I wanna give him something to remember me by.
Dee, I'm begging you here.
- Don't.
- No, I just, I'm serious.
I will pack the cooler
with nothing but sodas, okay?
No beer.
I'm not gonna take any of that stuff,
I swear to you!
There's gonna be no brandy, no wine coolers.
[sighing]
- All right.
- What?
Oh, Diedra, that's fantastic.
- On one condition.
- One condition, okay anything.
- I'm gonna need a chaperone.
- A what?
What the hell are you talking about?
- Wayne. - What?
- I can't worry myself sick all weekend.
I can't do it anymore.
- Okay well, how the hell am I gonna find a chaperone?
- Ask Chuck.
- Chuck?
- Mhmm.
- You're saying you trust Chuck
more than you trust me?
Oh, don't sugarcoat it or anything.
Fine, I will ask Chuck.
You know, if I'm buying then Chuck's gonna be
right next to me.
Chuck it is, he's coming.
- I'm gonna need to hear it from him.
- Oh, give me a break, Dee.
[baby crying]
Can you give me a break?
I will ask Chuck to be my, is he my chaperone
or is he Tyler's chaperone? - Wayne.
- I'll ask him to be the chaperone.
You're still pulling a little right.
How many times I gotta tell you, Lou?
You gotta keep the same line.
Hey, somebody traded beer cans with me
and that one seems to be empty for some reason.
Why don't you give me one more freshie
and then we'll call it a night?
On Chuck! [laughing]
- All right.
You gonna tell me what we're celebrating tonight?
- [chuckling] You're always in such a hurry, huh?
You just gotta, you gotta slow down sometimes
and smell the roses.
- God yeah, I wish that's what I was smellin.
- Oh, Chuckitty, Chuck Chuck, Chuckin', Chuckster!
- Wait, wait, Jesus Christ.
I told you I hate that.
- You have no idea how lucky you are.
You are in for a treat, friend.
I mean a real big treat.
- Yeah, sure.
- So, first off, I'm taking Tyler to Milwaukee.
- What?
When?
- This weekend.
- Diedra agreed to that?
- Yep, yep, yep.
She sure did.
- Huh.
- I did sort of tell her I was going campin'.
- What?
What the hell you do that for?
- Well because she would have said no
for no good reason otherwise.
Now listen to me.
- I don't know Wayne, it sounds like a bad idea
that'd just end up bad.
- What?
No, it's a good idea.
I'm doing something special for him
so he don't forget about me.
- He's not gonna forget you.
- Oh yeah?
I can't remember nothing from that age
except me sitting in front of the TV
and my old man throwing his shoe at me
for sitting too close.
You know, I'm doing it.
I'm taking him on this trip.
You heard him.
He said he wanted to go, so I'm taking him on a trip
that he deserves.
You know, I'm gonna show him what an ocean looks like
before they take him out and stick him out
in the middle of the frickin desert!
- Ocean?
- Yeah.
- Ocean?
Milwaukee's on Lake Michigan last time I checked.
- Yeah, could you see clear across it
last time you checked?
No, you couldn't.
Like an ocean.
Just like I was sayin'.
And hey, here's the best part.
I got three tickets to a ballgame.
Milwaukee Chicago, one of 'em has your name on it.
Guess where they are.
Front row, first baseline, no big deal.
- Oh. [Wayne chuckling]
What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about you being my best friend
so you're coming with us and I'm not
gonna take no for an answer.
- Oh, I don't know.
- Not gonna take I don't know either!
- Ah jeez, Wayne.
I've been a part of your failed missions before.
- What, goddamit, you're coming with me!
I already told Tom to get us three tickets!
- Well what the hell'd you do that for?
How the hell are you paying for all this anyway?
- Hey, don't you worry about that.
You are gonna be my guest.
All weekend, I got you covered.
[laughing]
- Jesus H!
You got a secret pot farm or somethin'?
- No, no, no, I sold my cards.
Yeah, I sold my Maris, sold my Aaron.
I sold them all, so I--
- Oh, okay!
- Oh, crap.
Bartender: Time for you to go home, Wayne.
- Hey, you gotta fix that chair.
It's no good.
Hey listen, can I just get--
- You're done.
Okay, take him home Chuck.
- Goddamit!
Bartender: Hey, hey, you are done.
- Just give me a roadie.
Let's just get a roadie.
- Sorry, Earl.
Wayne: So is she your wife or is she your boss?
Chuck: Hey Now.
- I just want you to come with me, okay?
You're my bosom bud.
Okay?
- All right, already.
Lorraine ain't gonna like it.
- What, just tell her you're coming, goddamit!
Stand up for yourself for once.
- Hey, I said I was coming.
Don't make me change my mind.
- Just calling it the way I see it.
- Yeah, like you see it, huh?
How many fingers?
- Get outta here.
- What I thought.
[crashing]
[snoring]
- God!
Every time.
[moaning]
- Oh, just like that, oh yeah! - Oh, yeah?
- Oh, fuck!
Oh god!
Chuck!
The hell are you doing home?
- We got kicked out of the bar.
Hi, Jeff.
- Chuck, hey.
- I'll see you guys later.
[rooster crowing]
- Chuck?
What the hell?
- Yeah.
You were right.
- I know.
About what?
- Walked in on Lorraine and Postman Jeff last night.
- Ah, jeez, I'm sorry.
You okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
Oh, it's no problem.
[groaning]
[somber music]
[Chuck sobbing]
[printer whirring]
What's all this?
- We're going campin' remember?
No slip-ups!
- So where are we staying
when we get down there, huh?
With Alicia?
- What are you, nuts?
Why the hell would we stay with Alicia?
- I don't know, 'cause she's your sister?
- Oh, real sisterly what she done to me.
Real sisterly.
- That's a long time ago.
- Yeah, so is Pearl Harbor.
We just supposed to forgive and forget that too?
- Well we kinda did like 60 years ago.
- Oh, bull crap, says who?
- Says my TV, my VCR, your Toyota Corolla.
- This is where we're staying.
Huh, take a look at that.
That's only the finest hotel in the whole damn city.
You know who stays there?
Presidents.
You know who else stays there?
We stay there!
We're going first class all weekend.
Get that through your thick skull.
- The Pfister?
- Uh huh!
- Doesn't sound real pleasant.
- Gimme that.
- So you're telling me we're gonna go
all the way down there
and you're not gonna see your family?
- Exactly.
We are going down there to have fun,
which by definition means no Alicia.
Hey, hey, Chuck, the beer.
- What about it?
- Chuck ,the beer, get rid of it!
Hey, not right there!
- Hi, Chuck.
- Hey, Ty, how you doing?
- Good.
Wayne: Hey, champ.
- Hey, Chuck.
- Hey, Dee.
- Lorraine okay with you abandoning her all weekend?
- Yeah, yeah.
No problem there.
- Hey Diedra.
You thirsty?
Can I get you some sodas or water or anything?
- No thanks.
No, I'm good.
Hey.
Thank you.
Hey, I really appreciate you agreeing to go along.
- Yeah, sure Dee.
- Hey, hey, Chuck.
Hey, pal.
Would you mind helping Tyler
with his sleeping bag?
- What?
Yeah, sure.
See ya, Dee.
Diedra: He's real excited.
- Oh, that's great, Diedra, it's real great.
- You will talk to him.
- Yeah, of course.
- Okay, thank you.
- What?!
- Bosom bud?
- What, you are.
- I want you with us, Chuck.
Yeah, 'cause you need a babysitter.
- Oh, now that's a crock of crap.
- Don't lie to me, Wayne.
Got enough of that in my life.
- Hey I ain't lying to ya.
I wanted you to go!
Diedra wants you to go,
everyone wants you to go, what's the matter with that?
- You can be a real jerk sometimes, you know that?
- What?
Let's get this show on the road!
Let's go, Tyler!
Lorraine: Hey.
Where are you going, Chuck?
- Nowhere.
- I just seen you put your bag
in Wayne's truck, dumbass.
You're going somewhere.
- Well, okay.
- If you leave, don't ever come back, you hear?
Do you hear me, Chuck?
Don't ever come back!
And you are never gonna get any more of this!
- Was that a boob?
In his tin cup I did drop it
And I heard him say as I made my retreat
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
May an elephant caress you with his toes
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
- Are we going to Minocqua?
- Nope, guess again.
- Star Lake?
- Uh-uh.
- Eagle River?
- Nope.
You wanna tell him?
- I don't wanna be the only one in on your scheme.
- Hey.
- In on what?
- So I got a question for you, Ty.
Who's your favorite team playing this weekend?
- Chi-gag-o.
Wayne: Yep, and where are they playing 'em?
- Milwaukee!
- What'd you say?
- Milwaukee.
[laughing]
- Well yeah, I guess we are going to Milwaukee!
On account of these three tickets I got for us, huh!
- Are you shitting me!?
- Hey you can't, you can't say that.
- Oops, I mean are you serious?
- Oh, I'm serious as Aaron Rodgers down by six
three seconds on the clock fourth and goal serious.
Here, check them out for yourself.
- Oh my god.
- Yeah.
Hey be careful, don't tear those.
Those are first base line.
No big deal.
Tyler: Wow.
- Spitting distance from home plate.
Tyler And Wayne: No big deal.
- Not to mention, I'm taking you
to the world famous Wisconsin State Fair!
All: No big deal.
- And I'm gonna show you what an ocean looks like!
- It's a lake.
- That looks like an ocean!
All: No big deal!
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
- Oh yeah! May the elephant
Caress you with his toes
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
Let's so how far I can throw it.
You okay?
- Yeah.
- You sure?
- I don't know.
I guess deep down I always knew about Lorraine.
Still, makes a guy feel kind of inadequate.
- Hey.
Don't you even go there.
That is bullcrap.
- How else am I supposed to feel
walking in on that?
I keep seeing it over and over in my head like
in slow motion.
- I seen something too though, you know?
Don't forget his gym locker
used to be next to mine.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- It means Postman Jeff ain't any more adequate
than you are.
Trust me on that.
Son of a bitch has a droopy nutsack too, huh?
- Yeah, Wayne.
See that's not an image I need in my head either right now.
- Oh, crap.
Oh, stupid, yeah.
Nutsack, fuck.
You should just forget about that.
- Oh, me?
- Yeah. - Forget, sure.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Tyler!
[kooky country music]
Tyler.
My laundry man is really on his toes
Found a hundred-dollar bill
- You seeing all these bikes or what, champ?
- Whoah!
- Oh!
[bikes revving]
And I heard him saying as I turned to go
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose
- Chuckster!
- Waynester.
So I've been thinking.
- Oh, that's never been your strong suit, Chuck.
- F you, hear me out.
Six pack of beer costs like what,
4.50, give or take, yeah?
- So?
- So you drink like two sixers a day.
- Not every day.
- Cut the bull, at least.
That's nine bucks a day, right?
- Yeah, so what?
- Just do the math.
30 days in a month times nine,
that's like,
hang on.
- 270, Chuck!
- 270!
- What's your point?
- That's like 300 bucks right there.
You cut the beer, you got yourself
a round trip ticket to Phoenix every damn month.
- Well what am I gonna use to pay for the beer,
Mr. Math Expert?
- You ain't gonna buy no more beer.
Yeah, you get a jar and you stick a buck in there.
- A what?
- Every beer you pass up, another buck.
Watch her fill up.
Call it Tyler's jar.
I seen it on Oprah.
- On Oprah?
Oh.
Oprah?
Do me a favor, Mr. Math Expert.
Stop thinking!
Why wouldn't I just stick that money in a bank account,
earn some interest, huh?
Think about that?
- 'Cause you wanna be able to watch the jar
fill up for motivation.
- Watch a jar?
Do you hear yourself?
You just said watch a jar.
Why would I watch a jar, huh?
What am I gonna do when I get out there, huh?
How am I gonna pay for a hotel?
I sleep outside under the stars?
Who's gonna pay for the rental car?
I ain't got money for that.
That's your bright idea, huh?
Thank you for such a bright idea, Chuck.
Real good thinking there, I really appreciate that.
Bright ideas!
- Okey dokey, Wayne, if you know better.
- And I can get a six pack of Old Style for 4.39!
[light country rock music]
Every night's like Saturday night
[motorcycle revving]
All: We'll be coming to Milwaukee, here we come
We'll be coming to Milwaukee, here we come
We'll be coming to Milwaukee
We'll be coming to Milwaukee here we come
[car honking]
- Tyler, Tyler, look, do you see that?
Tyler, do you see that, get up here.
See that?
Tyler: Is that Milwaukee?
Wayne: You're darn straight it is.
- Looks like square mountains.
- [chuckling] Square mountains.
You're all right, you know that?
We'll be coming to Milwaukee, here we come
Chuck: Where am I going?
Wayne: Where are we?
Chuck: What do you mean where are we?
Wayne: Wait, what's that say right there?
Chuck: I don't know.
Jesus, what's with all the bikes?
- Wait wait.
What exit was that?
- Make sure, you gotta give me plenty of notice.
- Okay, well slow down.
- I can't slow down.
- What exit is this one?
Chuck: I don't know.
- Van Brahn?
- Yeah, Van Buren, that's us, that's us.
The exit's on the left.
What, you gotta get over to the left.
What are you doing, dammit?
Go to the left, yeah man
you gotta get over, - What, go turn left?
What, no!
[cars honking]
- Okay, okay.
It's the Van Buren exit.
Chuck: Well, I don't know.
[motorcycle revving]
- Welcome to the Pfister.
Would you like some help with your luggage, sir?
- Why yes we would.
Thank you very much.
All right.
- It looks like a castle.
- Jeez, you sure it's not too much?
- Hey, not another peep out of you.
Not another one, okay?
Tyler: Can I look?
Wayne: Yeah, go for it.
Concierge: Welcome to the Pfister.
Checking in this evening?
- Ah, yes, we are checking in this evening.
- May I have your name please?
- Wayne.
And how are you this evening, Tracy?
- I'm fantastic, thank you for asking, Mr. Wayne.
- Oh no, it's Stobierski, actually.
Wayne Stobierski.
- I'm so sorry, Mr. Stobierski.
Do you mind spelling that for me?
- S-T-O-B-I-E-R-S-K-I.
Sorry, got a long one.
Name, long name, lot of letters.
- Yes, okay, then.
Hmm, I'm sorry Mr. Stobierski
but I'm not finding you in the system.
- Oh, well we just got here.
We pulled up just now.
- And did you make a reservation on our website?
- You know I tried to.
But I don't have a credit card right now.
What I do have is a lot of cash.
So I don't mind paying full freight, of course,
just for the three of us.
- I'm so sorry, Mr. Stobierski
but we're completely sold out this weekend.
- Sold out?
But on your internet page,
it says that you have over 300 rooms.
- We do, but with Harleyfest in town this weekend
we've been booked solid since March.
- Harleyfest?
- We're expecting over 100,000 riders in town this weekend.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, Mr. Stobierski.
- Well.
Where?
Tyler: Will our new hotel be like a castle?
- Even better, champ.
Don't you worry about that.
[bikes revving]
Goddamn room hogs!
Chuck: Take her easy there.
- Hello, hi yes.
I'm looking for a room this weekend,
- Where am I going?
- Just drive.
Yeah, no, I'm aware of Harleyfest.
I was just checking to see if,
yes, hi, I'm looking for a room.
Yes, of course I know about it.
What I'm trying to tell you is.
[dial tone]
Hello?
Fuck Harleyfest!
- Wayne!
- What?
Sorry.
[phone beeping]
Oh.
My phone's out of.
My phone's out of batteries.
[siren blaring]
Hey, where the hell are we?
- I don't know, you said just drive.
- God dammit, Chuck!
Here give me your phone.
- I don't have my phone.
- What do you mean?
Why don't you have your phone?
- I didn't wanna bring it.
- Why the hell not?
- I didn't feel like it.
- Hey, how are you doing?
Can I plug this in somewhere?
- Sorry, I'm not allowed that.
There's a payphone outside.
- Okay.
Can I get some change then?
- You gotta buy something, man.
[chimes ringing]
- Hi!
Yes, I am looking for one room please.
Yeah, today, tonight, and for three.
We could have like a roll-away?
[growling]
I'm a paying customer, shh.
I already heard you say that.
I wanna hear you say something different.
Now I'm gonna say I need a room
and you're gonna say okay.
I need a room.
Wrong, okay!
Try that one more time.
I need a room.
Okay, no, you did it wrong twice.
[slamming]
- Well?
- Guy inside says that there's a motel right,
- Oh, shh, shh, shh.
- Oh.
Guy that works here says that there's a motel
right down there.
- Okay.
- Oh crap, oh crap.
[retching]
- Dammit, Wayne.
The hell you been drinking?
- Just go.
- Okay.
[car starting]
[woman cackling]
We're not staying here.
[somber music]
- Chuck.
- Hey, Alicia.
- Hey, Tyler.
Remember me?
It's your Aunt Alicia.
Don't be scared, okay?
It's your Aunt Alicia.
- Okay I got him, I got him.
Okay, come here.
Let's go, all right, get some rest.
Oh, here we go.
God, I don't know what happened.
He's just on the phone looking for a hotel.
Christ, just like that.
He is a mess.
- Uh huh.
Well what are you guys even doing down here?
- Yeah, uh.
Wayne wanted to take Tyler to a ballgame.
- You're a good friend, you know?
Can I get you a drink?
- Yeah, I could use a beer.
Alicia: All right, have a seat.
I got High Life or IPA.
- IPA?
Alicia: Whatever.
- Fancy pants.
Alicia: Yeah, yeah.
- I'll take that.
- Who the fuck are you?!
- Matt?
- Who the fuck are you?
- Matt, would you keep your voice down?
We got guests here.
- What the hell for?
- And stop swearing.
Chuck: Hey is that little Matty?
- Yeah.
- Hey!
It's me, Chuck!
- Chuck.
Chuck from like five years ago Chuck?
- Yeah, well you gonna shake my hand or not?
- Holy shit!
You got grubby!
Alicia: Matt!
- What the hell are you doing all the way down here?
- Thanks for the warm welcome, kid.
Hey, what's all that stuff on your face?
- I'm growing a beard.
- Oh, yeah, are you sure about that?
- Hey you know you were supposed to teach me
how to work on engines.
- Yeah, well.
Who told you to move all the way down here, huh?
I sure didn't.
Alicia: Hey guys, I gotta go to work, all right?
Chuck: You're still working that third shift.
- Yeah.
Listen, you can sleep in my bed, okay?
Matt, Tyler's in your bed
so you gotta sleep on the couch
and I don't wanna hear. - I can take the couch.
- No, no, I don't mind.
- What?
- Chuck will get all of his grub on the cushions.
[Alicia laughing]
- What was that, punk?
- Listen, I left some clean sheets out, okay?
Matt'll help you.
- Thank you, Alicia. - I gotta go.
Have fun, guys.
Be good, Matt!
- Uh huh. [humming]
[snoring]
Chuck: Five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six,
- Huh?
Yep.
Chuck: Two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
Tyler: Dad!
Breakfast is ready!
- Oh, breakfast huh?
Where are we?
- Aunt Alicia's.
You can see the stadium from here!
- Oh, crap.
Tyler: Hurry up, the eggs are gonna get cold!
[clock chiming]
[people chattering]
- Morning.
- Morning, Wayne.
- Hey, Mark.
- Matt.
- Right, yeah I was gonna...
breakfast looks good.
- I made the eggs.
Aunt Alicia taught me.
- And a good job you did, too, sweety.
Matt, why don't you pass that down to your uncle?
- Thanks, Matt.
So.
What'd everybody do last night?
- I got to sleep in my cousin's room.
Matt slept on the couch.
- Oh, that's nice of you, Matt.
- Yeah it's no biggie.
I figured Chuck would much rather sleep
in my mom's bed.
- While I was at work.
Matt, shut up.
Come on. - Okay.
Okay, all right. - Whatever.
- Yeah, what about you, Chuck?
- What do you think?
Took care of you.
- And you're not getting any easier to carry,
are you, Wayne?
- Alicia, I'd like to thank you for letting us stay
but we're clearly not welcome so we'll be on our way.
- Sit down, Wayne. - I don't think so, Alicia.
Let's go, Chuck, let's go.
- It ain't up to you.
Seems to me we are welcome here.
Tyler: I made the toast too.
- It's a very nice breakfast, Tyler
and we are going to enjoy it.
Matt, will you please pass the bacon?
What the hell are you doing?
- What the hell are you doing?
Get Tyler, I said we're leaving.
- Yeah.
Have a nice trip.
- Hey, hey, I'm warning you, dammit.
- You're warning me?
- You just get him, okay?
- No.
I ain't gonna get him.
I am through with your crap.
Hey, you wanna ruin your life, go ahead.
I ain't helping you do that no more.
You got a kid who's excited to be here
and your sister is a saint, you ask me.
- My sister kicked me out
of my father's own goddamn funeral,
in case you don't remember.
- You were plastered.
- Well see, I,
I was in mourning, okay?
She could have cut me a little slack.
- She did 'til you started running around
with the pastor's wife's nylons on your head!
- That was a long time ago!
- Which is exactly what I told you yesterday.
So drop it, hmm?
Let bygones be bygone.
- Goddammit, Chuck.
- No, no, no, you goddamit!
You lose your right to gripe
when you puke all over the car and pass out cold!
[somber music]
- Sorry about that.
[clears throat]
Alicia.
I just wanna thank you for letting us all stay.
- Of course.
- So are we gonna go see the city or what?
- Yay!
Can Matt come?
- Yeah, sure.
- Nice, nice.
- You could use some sun.
Go get your shoes.
- You wanna come along too, Leesh?
- Yeah.
Sure, I mean if you got enough room.
- Woohoo.
- Woohoo!
- Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga.
Matt: Oh, give me a break.
Everyone: Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga.
[Matt groaning]
Everyone: Woohoo!
[laughing]
[everyone chattering]
Wayne: Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah,
hey, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Tyler, you see anything?
Tyler: Whoa, are you shitting me?
Men: Whoah!
Tyler: I mean kidding?
Matt: It's just like an ocean, eh squirt?
Chuck: Oh, no Matt, hey hey hey,
Matt, Matt, Matt, oh. Wayne: Here that Chuck?
Just like an ocean.
Chuck: Oh there you go, now you got him.
Matt: What the hell did I do?
Wayne: That's a smart kid back there.
Oh yeah. Chuck: Look what you done.
Alicia: Smartie.
Wayne: Just like the ocean.
Chuck: Oh yeah.
Smell that salt air.
Wayne: Well I didn't say it smelled like an ocean,
I said it looks like an ocean.
[gentle airy music]
You see all those windows?
You know behind every single one of those windows
and all those buildings is somebody's home or office,
there's all kinds of people up there
doing all different kinds of things.
Like over there, maybe like an office furniture salesman.
Over there, a barber or something.
Who knows, in there maybe a teacher.
- Do you think any of them are eating popcorn right now?
- Yeah, of course, why not?
All those windows, probably somebody up there
munching on some popcorn, huh?
There's a lot going on in a big city, huh?
Can you imagine living in a place like this?
All the friends you could make, are you kidding me?
Oh, you would have people just
constantly ringing your doorbell.
Hey, is Tyler home?
Hey, can Tyler come out and play?
Wouldn't be so bad, would it?
- I like my house.
- Yeah.
It's a nice house your mom has there for you.
[somber music]
- Can you please tell me what is so fashionable
about looking like a ghoul?
- Well, he's a teenager.
At his age, I had a mullet.
- Matt!
- What?!
- Put that sketchbook down, you're on a boat!
- Come on, I remember you at that age.
- What?
- Wearing holes with a few threads of jeans
attached to it.
- Air conditioning, we used to call it.
- Yup, air conditioning.
I liked a few of them strategically placed air vents.
[Alicia laughing]
Wayne: You look real dumb.
- I won't after this thing capsizes.
Don't come swimming over to me then.
- Yeah, you don't look so hot yourself.
Are you all right?
- Yeah.
Just trying not to drink.
- Come here.
[light melancholy music]
- These are people's houses?
Matt: Welcome to Whitefolks Bay, squirt.
Alicia: Whitefish Bay.
- They call it white folks bay
'cause everyone who lives here is white.
- So is everyone in my town.
Except for my friend Katie.
She got adopted.
- Whatever, squirt.
Tyler: I'm not a squirt.
Wayne: Anybody wanna guess who lives here?
- Some snot-nosed trust fund snob
who eats pizza with a fork?
- No, no, this guy did it all himself
and then some.
This house...
this house right here belongs to none other
than the Gorman Thomas.
- What?
- Who the hell is Gordon Thomas?
- Gorman.
Kidding me now?
You never heard of Stormin' Gorman?
- You never heard of I could give a shit?
- Matt!
- Hey, Matt, no, Stormin' Gorman Thomas
was the greatest center fielder
who ever walked God's green earth
and that's a fact.
And he lives in that house right there.
You know he's probably looking down on us
from one of those big windows.
- Yeah, saying get the hell out of my driveway.
[Alicia laughing]
- Can we meet him?
Please, please, please, please.
- No.
Wayne. - That would be a bad idea.
- What, why, no, why not?
Why won't he come over and say a quick hello to some people
who worship him? - Why not?
Because he's probably on the pot
or making a BLT or trying to live his friggin' life.
- Okay, well then I say we get him off the pot.
I know I would if a carload full of fans wanted
to tell me how great I was. - Yes!
- Yeah I wouldn't hold your breath there now.
- You know what, we're doin' it.
- Oh, no, Wayne.
Wayne: Oh yeah, we're doing it.
Tyler: Yes yes yes yes yes!
Alica: Stop it.
Matt: God, no, no, mom, mom, no.
Oh god.
Tyler: Come on, come on, come on.
Please please please?
Man: Hello?
[Tyler gasping]
- Hi, mister,
Mister Thomas?
Man: Excuse me?
- It's Wayne Stobierski.
I just wanted to let you know
that there is a carload full of fans
who would just love a chance to--
Man: Yeah yeah yeah.
Sir, sir?
Gorman Thomas hasn't lived here for 10 years.
- Oh!
Okay, do you happen to know where he moved to by chance?
Man: Um, let me check.
No, 'cause I don't keep tabs on him.
- Oh, okay.
Man: Now turn that piece of crap around.
- Hey, no need to be rude!
Stick your pizza fork in your ear, you snob!
- What did you say? - Yeah, you couldn't carry
Gordon Thomas' sweaty jockstrap,
you piece of shit!
- Gorman! - Gorman.
- Whatever. - Get out of here,
he's gonna call the police.
No, do it!
[light music]
[Wayne laughing]
Wayne: Oh, ah!
All right.
Okay, just give a minute here.
Alicia: What's wrong with you?
- What?
Alicia: What is wrong with you?
- Nothing.
It's just, ooh.
Those little bums are fast!
- When's the last time you seen a doctor?
- Hmm, give me a break, look at me.
- What, are you kidding me?
At our age you gotta get an annual physical.
Chuck.
- I told him.
- Oh, baloney.
Come on, look at this.
I'm a frickin specimen, okay?
- Oh, yeah?
All right, let me see something.
Hold your hands out.
Palms up.
No, no, this way, come here.
All right, let me just see something.
All right, well your arteries don't feel too hard.
But okay, let me see something else.
All right, go like this, right.
Now stick your tongue out and roll your eyes
in the back of your head.
Now you look as dumb as you are.
I mean, come on, what do you think you get a bump on the head
and it tells you you have high cholesterol?
You gotta get your blood drawn.
Did you know that I was this close
to having diabetes II?
And the doctor says just cut out potatoes
and now I'm good.
You gotta get your liver checked, Wayne.
- How much did that doc charge you
to tell you to cut out the potatoes huh?
I don't have the money for that, all right?
- Okay, okay, okay.
Hey, how's Diedra?
Is she still at the hospital?
- Yup, she doing good.
- How can she be good if she's in the hospital?
- She's a nurse, hello.
- How the hell am I supposed to know?
I mean I haven't seen her since I was like nine.
- Diedra's my mom but she's not married to my dad.
My mom's married to my stepdad.
He wants us to move to Phoenix but we're not gonna.
The Diamondbacks suck.
[somber music]
- Hey, I heard a rumor that you're going to see
a baseball game with your dad tomorrow night.
Is that true?
- Uh huh.
- Oh you lucky duck, huh?
Nice.
So you gonna tell me what's going on?
- Ah.
Wayne lost custody.
Diedra and Stu are moving to Arizona.
- Oh my god, when?
- As soon as the house sells.
Tyler don't know yet.
Wayne's supposed to tell him.
- Oh my god.
- Wow.
How many people is that?
- That's something innit?
Well you wait 'til tomorrow.
Baseball game, stadium's gonna be full of people
and you're gonna be right down there
in the front row.
- No big deal.
[laughing] No big deal.
Yup.
Big city's kinda neat, huh?
- Uh huh.
- Could you imagine if you lived in a place like this?
All the cool stuff that you could do?
You know you can go to like a museum
or go to the zoo.
All the ballgames that you can go too.
- Can Matt come with us tomorrow?
- Yeah, I wish, but I just got tickets
for you know, me, you and Chuck, so.
But what I was saying about living in a city like this,
- Can Matt come up for my birthday then?
- No, he can't because he got school, okay?
Will you listen?
I'm trying to tell you somethin'.
I...
I just...
He's got school, okay?
- My birthday's on a Saturday, I looked it up.
- Saturday, huh?
Well.
Let's see if he can come up then, okay?
- Okay.
Heard in the day
Led by the moonlight
Have all passed away
Beautiful dreamer
- Have one beer.
No point in feeling like crap all weekend.
Either way...
here.
- What the hell is that for?
- The 10 you didn't drink today.
- Give me a break.
- Stick it in your jar.
You earned it.
We both know you gotta quit.
Just saying, start Monday.
You got enough on your plate this weekend.
- Toss this for me, will you?
I fought that thing off all day.
Not one drop went in my mouth, not one, check the seal.
Don't tell Alicia.
[people cheering]
I need a change of scenery
Some place with greenery
I'll throw the dice, let's go gamble on tonight
Let's spin the wheel
Drop the ball where ever we feel
Difference between real and surreal
Let's go gamble on tonight
Because I need a change of scenery
- Shut up.
Some place with greenery
- I didn't say nothing.
Doesn't look back on a one way track
I don't know where I'm heading to
If the wind blows
A warm a sweater to feel so right
Let's go gamble on tonight
And I say yes, sir
We're sort of a mess, sir
We can't pass the test, sir
We're half way to bye
And I say yes, sir
We're sort of a mess, sir
We will not rest, sir
'Til our troubles are behind
Because I need a
Change of scenery
Some place with greenery
I'll take the path
On the map that doesn't look back
- I'm leaving Lorraine.
- [sighing]
- Are you okay?
- [sighing]
- It feels good to be here.
Alicia: Looking for something?
- Oh, ah.
I wanted a glass of milk.
- The big white gallon jug right in front.
Want some cookies with that?
- Sure.
- You mind if I join you?
Thanks.
- Yup.
- Chuck told me about Tyler.
- Yeah.
[sobbing]
[somber music]
- I'm sorry.
- Morning.
- Hey, mornin'.
Yeah, coffee's ready over there.
Thank you.
- Yes.
- You know, [clears throat]
Milwaukee's not a bad town.
I mean once you get used to all the hustle and bustle,
and that room upstairs, I mean, it's yours.
- Thanks, sis.
- Yeah, you're welcome.
Chuck: Hey there!
Alicia: Hey.
- So, listen.
I told Matty that he could take my ticket.
- Oh yeah?
You sure you don't mind?
- Ah, I'll stay here, listen to it on the radio.
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Wayne: Woo, here we go boys!
[car starting]
[uplifting music]
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
[Wayne sighing]
- Okay, Tyler, Matt,
I need you to listen to me real closely, okay?
From now until the moment that our butts
are in those dark green seats,
I need you to stay close to me, okay?
Now we're about to enter
what the ancient Italians called the Coliseum.
All right, and I guarantee
you'll never forget this moment
for the rest of your lives.
Got it?
- Okay. - Yeah.
- Okay?
Let's do this, huh?
All right.
Right, Tyler, you stay right there, hang on.
Let's go, pal.
[uplifting music]
- Tickets please.
Thank you.
Tickets please.
Thank you, tickets please.
Thank you.
Enjoy the game.
Tickets please.
Thank you, enjoy the game sir.
Tickets please.
- Yes sir, three of us.
Thank you.
Yup, thank you.
- Wait, hold up, hold them up.
Wayne: Yeah.
Attendant: Let me see those.
- Yeah, first base.
- Aw, man.
These are for Saturday's game.
- What?
What are you talking about?
- These are for yesterday's game, look.
- Oh.
Attendant: Man, I'm sorry, I've seen it happen before.
- No, no, no, I paid good money for these tickets.
- I'm sorry man, it's not the first time.
- I don't understand.
No, I paid a lot of money for these tickets.
- Look.
- Hey, look, wait.
We drove all the way from up north.
I came with my son and his cousin here
and it's his first time to see the game, so,
if you could, just,
- I'm sorry, man.
I don't know what to tell you.
- Well, just tell me that I can get in!
- No, no, there's a customer service table
right over here.
- Okay.
- Maybe they can get you some other seats.
- Okay but I'm just, I wanna go.
- It's out of my hands. - Hey!
- Yo, look, I gotta get you out of the line.
Nothing I can do, buddy.
I gotta get you out of the line.
- Okay, yeah, yeah, of course.
Okay, boys. - Sorry.
- Come over here.
There's too many.
Just wait.
Okay, wait right here.
Listen.
Matt, you got any money on you?
What do you have?
[somber music]
- A couple dollars?
- I do.
- No, no, no, no.
No, no, put that back in your pocket.
Look, you wait right here.
I'm gonna go take care of this.
But I need you guys to stay right here, okay?
Tyler, you stay right here, okay?
Right here with your cousin, you got it?
Matty, you keep an eye on him, okay?
Don't let him out of your sight.
I'll be right back, okay?
Don't.
Don't go anywhere.
[somber music]
[knocking]
- Hi there.
- Hey.
- Oh, come on, how bad could it be?
You're white, you got a dick.
- No, I'm not in the mood, Leesh.
- Come here.
- No, I'm not in the mood.
- Don't be a dumbass, I said come here.
- Look, I have some stuff-- - I'm serious,
just two seconds, come on!
Radio Announcer: Check of the runner on base.
Here comes Miller with the pitch.
And that's high.
Ball to Weeden.
He doesn't wanna give Weeden anything in the wheel.
- I'm not a squirt.
- You are a squirt, big time.
Total squirt.
Yeah you are a squirt, you're both squirts.
Yeah, yeah he is, but so are you.
Big time, I'm not a squirt, you two are.
Radio Announcer: Weeden gets all of it, I mean.
- Yup, yup! - Are you kidding me?!
[crowd roaring] - Come on, you hear that,
you hear that?
- Do you hear?
Oh my gosh!
Matt: Nice!
Yes, I told you.
Didn't I tell you, yeah?
Tyler: That's insane!
- Oh god, you see that?
- Do you hear that?
Matt: Wow, dude!
[light music]
- Where's your stuff?
- I thought I might stay on for a little.
It'll give you some alone time with Tyler
and me with Alicia.
But if you got any worry that you're not gonna be
okay to drive or anything,
Wayne: No, no, no, no, we'll be fine.
- You sure?
- Yeah, yeah, we'll be fine.
- Okay.
- All right.
Chuck: Okay.
- Okay, yeah, yeah.
[sighing]
[Alicia chuckling]
[light melancholy music]
So Tyler.
- Yeah?
- Grab some ice cream before I drop you home?
- Okay.
[ducks squawking]
What are you looking at?
- Nothing.
So listen, champ.
There's something I gotta tell ya.
It ain't gonna be easy for me
but I don't want you getting mad at your mom
because it's my fault, okay.
It's not hers.
Your mom loves you very much
and she just wants what's best for you.
But...
We're not gonna get to see each other for a little while.
- Why?
- Well, you see,
you're gonna be moving with your mom and Stu
to Phoenix soon.
- What?
- Yeah, I...
Tyler: Why?!
- You gotta trust me,
it's gonna be a good thing for you okay?
- You said I didn't have to!
- Yeah, I know I said that
but there are opportunities out there.
And your stepdad has some opportunities
and you're gonna have some opportunities too.
- I don't care,
you said I didn't have to! - I know, I know.
You gotta trust me
when I say it's gonna be good for ya.
Okay, you're gonna make new friends out there.
You're gonna see mountains.
And it's a real city, champ.
It's a real city and you'll get to see
all kinds of things like we saw.
Hey, you know what, I promise I'll come see you.
Tyler: Everything like that is garbage!
I only like you.
- I understand that, champ.
I understand, but I'm gonna come out there and see you
as much as I can.
You know what, we're gonna go to a ballgame.
And we're gonna get in this time.
- The Diamondbacks suck.
- Yeah.
I know. - It just isn't fair.
- I'm sorry.
But this is my fault.
It's got nothing to do with you.
- Is it because you're an alcoholic?
[somber music]
- Yeah.
- Can't you take some medicine?
- You know, I wish there was some, but.
- You can't just stop?
- No.
I can't.
I'm so sorry.
I love you so much.
Hey.
I just told him.
I couldn't really bring myself to do it
'til just now.
And I need to tell you.
We didn't go camping.
I took him to Milwaukee and we stayed with Alicia.
So sorry that I lied.
I wanted to take him to a ballgame.
- It's okay, Wayne.
I figured it was something.
- I showed him the city, Dee.
And we went on a boat.
And um, he just had the time of his life.
I did the best I could.
I told him that this would be a good thing for him.
Him moving out there was gonna be good.
So just,
just make sure that it is.
Will you?
- I will.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Wayne.
Are you gonna be okay?
- I don't know.
- Try.
All right?
- Okay.
- No, Wayne.
Try.
[somber music]
- Okay.
[car starting]
[zooming]
[Wayne chuckling]
Oh, frickin' Oprah.
[light music]
Frickin' Oprah.
[light music]
Good night, mercy
With you 'til the end
The earth it keeps on spinning
Good night
The night makes you thirsty
Drink up one more time
Let's not start a fight now, good night
There's no catch to
All the ways I love you
Do your best to
Lock me out but I'm still here
Good night, mercy
The day comes to pass
Sippin' our last glass now
Good night
There's no end to
All the ways I love you
Do my best to
Hang on tight
Yeah I'm still here
Good night, mercy
You haven't said a thing
Passed down through my singing
Good night
