1
00:00:12,577 --> 00:00:14,884
I'll never forget it.
It was 30 years ago.

2
00:00:14,927 --> 00:00:17,495
I was spraying activator
in my Jheri curl

3
00:00:17,539 --> 00:00:20,324
when this lanky kid wandered
into my bowling alley.

4
00:00:20,368 --> 00:00:22,500
Never picked up a ball
in his life,

5
00:00:22,544 --> 00:00:26,287
but I knew right away
he was a natural.

6
00:00:26,330 --> 00:00:29,594
An untamed horse
just waiting to be broken.

7
00:00:31,466 --> 00:00:33,163
Now, I don't want
to take all the credit

8
00:00:33,207 --> 00:00:34,773
for Tom becoming a pro bowler...

9
00:00:34,817 --> 00:00:35,818
Wait for it.

10
00:00:35,861 --> 00:00:37,037
But if it wasn't for me,

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,081
it never would've happened.

12
00:00:38,125 --> 00:00:40,257
There it is.

13
00:00:40,301 --> 00:00:43,304
I am proud
to officially announce

14
00:00:43,347 --> 00:00:47,525
the very first PBA member ever
to come out of Archie's Lanes,

15
00:00:47,569 --> 00:00:49,484
Tom Smallwood. Tell the people
how you did it, Tom.

16
00:00:52,704 --> 00:00:57,274
I had, uh, over a 200 average
in 36 games of league play.

17
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:02,584
Great bowler, lousy storyteller.

18
00:01:02,627 --> 00:01:04,803
Just show 'em the card, Tom.

19
00:01:04,847 --> 00:01:07,589
[laughs]

20
00:01:07,632 --> 00:01:09,460
[applause, laughter]Yeah, man.

21
00:01:09,504 --> 00:01:12,724
To Tom. Mm.ALL:
To Tom.

22
00:01:12,768 --> 00:01:14,770
Come on, honey.
It's a school night.

23
00:01:14,813 --> 00:01:16,076
Okay, you stay and have fun.
This is your night.

24
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:17,555
Mwah.

25
00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:18,774
Bye-bye. Bye, pal.Bye, Dad.

26
00:01:18,817 --> 00:01:20,776
Bye, honey.Hey, man.

27
00:01:20,819 --> 00:01:22,952
Your manager has
a surprise for you.

28
00:01:22,995 --> 00:01:25,694
Lew, I told you
I don't need a manager.

29
00:01:25,737 --> 00:01:27,565
Oh, then I guess you don't need

30
00:01:27,609 --> 00:01:31,308
an exclusive television
interview... on television.

31
00:01:31,352 --> 00:01:34,616
What are you talking about?

32
00:01:34,659 --> 00:01:36,487
I know a guy at
the Channel Ten news.

33
00:01:36,531 --> 00:01:38,750
He likes the idea
of a feel-good story

34
00:01:38,794 --> 00:01:41,275
about a laid-off factory
worker chasing a dream.

35
00:01:41,318 --> 00:01:43,146
Channel Ten? Ooh.

36
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:45,105
They got the nice van with
the big satellite dish on top.

37
00:01:45,148 --> 00:01:46,758
Mm-hmm.

38
00:01:46,802 --> 00:01:48,630
They got Doppler.

39
00:01:48,673 --> 00:01:51,589
I don't know what the hell
that is, but they got it.

40
00:01:51,633 --> 00:01:53,504
Wow. My first TV interview.

41
00:01:53,548 --> 00:01:55,463
Thanks, Lew.

42
00:01:55,506 --> 00:01:57,508
Thanks, Manager.

43
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:01,686
You just made everyone

44
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:04,341
at Lew Can Do It
Entertainment very happy.

45
00:02:17,180 --> 00:02:19,008
Hey.
You're late.

46
00:02:19,051 --> 00:02:20,227
Yeah, sorry. I was getting
ready for the interview.

47
00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:21,445
In...? What interview?

48
00:02:21,489 --> 00:02:23,447
With Channel Ten.

49
00:02:23,491 --> 00:02:25,014
They got the nice van
with the big satellite on top.

50
00:02:25,057 --> 00:02:27,277
Well, you could've gave me
a warning.

51
00:02:27,321 --> 00:02:29,627
I didn't even wax my head.

52
00:02:29,671 --> 00:02:31,803
Actually, I-I think
they just want to interview me.

53
00:02:31,847 --> 00:02:35,807
Oh. Well, listen, don't forget
to mention Archie's Lanes...

54
00:02:35,851 --> 00:02:38,201
It's showtime, baby. Look, the
news van just pulled up. Here.

55
00:02:38,245 --> 00:02:41,073
Put this hat on.
What? Why?

56
00:02:41,117 --> 00:02:43,163
Well, because you either need
a look or a big personality.

57
00:02:43,206 --> 00:02:44,816
And we're going with a look.

58
00:02:46,862 --> 00:02:49,256
I've never been
on TV before. I...

59
00:02:49,299 --> 00:02:50,605
Oh, it's easy.
Just-just be your smartest,

60
00:02:50,648 --> 00:02:52,911
most professional self.

61
00:02:52,955 --> 00:02:56,219
The hat will do
the heavy lifting.

62
00:02:56,263 --> 00:02:58,526
I appreciate it, Lew,
but I-I'm not really a hat guy.

63
00:02:58,569 --> 00:03:03,444
Here, man.
Bam! Yeah.

64
00:03:03,487 --> 00:03:05,446
You better grab your luggage,
'cause you have just arrived.

65
00:03:09,276 --> 00:03:10,712
How do I look?

66
00:03:10,755 --> 00:03:13,323
Like Samuel L. Jackass.

67
00:03:16,587 --> 00:03:19,547
Well, henceforth, you know,

68
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:21,288
being a professional bowler
has always been my dream.

69
00:03:21,331 --> 00:03:23,203
And I-I never would
have gotten here

70
00:03:23,246 --> 00:03:24,813
without the support
of my family.

71
00:03:24,856 --> 00:03:26,989
Hence... forth.

72
00:03:27,032 --> 00:03:29,383
There you have it.
Tom Smallwood

73
00:03:29,426 --> 00:03:32,777
reminding us all
to bowl-ieve in our dreams.

74
00:03:33,865 --> 00:03:36,520
How amazing was that?

75
00:03:36,564 --> 00:03:39,219
I don't know. Did you get paid
by the "henceforth"?

76
00:03:41,699 --> 00:03:43,571
I thought you looked
very handsome.

77
00:03:43,614 --> 00:03:44,920
What'd you think of the hat?

78
00:03:44,963 --> 00:03:46,791
I thought you looked
very handsome.

79
00:03:48,271 --> 00:03:50,360
Okay, honey, let's
get ready for bed.

80
00:03:50,404 --> 00:03:51,187
[clears throat]Good night, Dad.

81
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:52,319
Night.

82
00:03:52,362 --> 00:03:53,581
Good night, Pumpkin.

83
00:03:53,624 --> 00:03:56,192
Good night, Grandma.

84
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:59,848
Well, I guess I should be
heading home. Henceforth.

85
00:04:01,197 --> 00:04:03,286
Come on, Ma.
What did you think?

86
00:04:03,330 --> 00:04:05,462
That's a big deal.Ah, you did great.

87
00:04:05,506 --> 00:04:07,725
Now get your big head down here
and give your mother a kiss.

88
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:10,685
Good night.Good night.

89
00:04:13,905 --> 00:04:15,994
[bowling pins clattering,
indistinct chatter]

90
00:04:16,038 --> 00:04:17,735
Maybe I am a hat guy.

91
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:24,612
Hey, Arch, you, uh...
you see the interview?

92
00:04:24,655 --> 00:04:26,266
Yeah, I saw it.Get this.

93
00:04:26,309 --> 00:04:27,615
I go to the gas
station this morning,

94
00:04:27,658 --> 00:04:29,399
asked the guy if he saw it.

95
00:04:29,443 --> 00:04:31,053
He hadn't, so I show it
to him on my phone.

96
00:04:31,096 --> 00:04:33,708
Next thing you know, he's
giving me a free Big Gulp.

97
00:04:33,751 --> 00:04:35,710
I didn't even want it,
but, you know, free stuff.

98
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,975
Congratulations.

99
00:04:40,018 --> 00:04:42,499
Can we start bowling now?
And take that damn hat off,

100
00:04:42,543 --> 00:04:44,284
LL Not Cool J.

101
00:04:45,676 --> 00:04:47,461
Hey, man.

102
00:04:47,504 --> 00:04:49,158
Got some great news.

103
00:04:49,201 --> 00:04:51,116
I was at Powell's Mortuary
this morning

104
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,467
to pick up some flowers
for a date tonight.

105
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:55,860
Man, you are just begging
to be haunted, aren't you?

106
00:04:55,904 --> 00:04:58,776
Anyway, I was talking
to Powell himself.

107
00:04:58,820 --> 00:05:00,517
He saw your interview
on the news,

108
00:05:00,561 --> 00:05:02,084
and he wants
to sponsor you, man.

109
00:05:02,127 --> 00:05:03,564
He loves what you stand for.

110
00:05:03,607 --> 00:05:05,522
Really? What do I stand for?

111
00:05:05,566 --> 00:05:07,307
Yeah, you're an everyman.

112
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:08,960
He-he buries five guys
like you every day.

113
00:05:11,267 --> 00:05:13,182
I mean, great.
What are we talking?

114
00:05:13,225 --> 00:05:15,010
Commercials? Endorsements?

115
00:05:15,053 --> 00:05:16,533
Are they gonna put my name
on a casket?

116
00:05:16,577 --> 00:05:19,362
No. They want to put their logo
on your jersey.

117
00:05:19,406 --> 00:05:22,017
That's great. I can have
Archie's logo on the back

118
00:05:22,060 --> 00:05:23,497
and, uh, Powell on the front.

119
00:05:23,540 --> 00:05:25,847
Yeah, about that.

120
00:05:25,890 --> 00:05:27,631
Since Powell's putting up
real money,

121
00:05:27,675 --> 00:05:28,980
they want exclusive rights.

122
00:05:29,024 --> 00:05:30,373
So you can only
have their logo

123
00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:31,113
on your jersey
during tournaments.

124
00:05:31,156 --> 00:05:33,376
Oh.

125
00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:35,813
What about Archie?

126
00:05:35,857 --> 00:05:38,425
Well, Archie's just gonna have
to be more of a silent partner.

127
00:05:38,468 --> 00:05:41,210
Archie? He's never been
a silent anything.

128
00:05:42,820 --> 00:05:46,215
Th-This is a huge opportunity
to get some cash coming in.

129
00:05:46,258 --> 00:05:48,652
I mean, that's true,
and we're gonna need money

130
00:05:48,696 --> 00:05:50,654
for equipment and-and travel.

131
00:05:50,698 --> 00:05:52,177
Archie's a businessman.

132
00:05:52,221 --> 00:05:53,657
He'll understand.Exactly.

133
00:05:53,701 --> 00:05:55,485
And-and plus, Powell said

134
00:05:55,529 --> 00:05:57,400
he'd give us all
a family and friends discount.

135
00:05:57,444 --> 00:05:59,881
And he said
he'd cremate us feet first.

136
00:05:59,924 --> 00:06:01,709
I mean, you normally don't get
to pick that.

137
00:06:05,669 --> 00:06:09,499
It was so cool seeing Tom on TV.

138
00:06:09,543 --> 00:06:11,849
The closest I ever got
to dating a professional athlete

139
00:06:11,893 --> 00:06:13,938
was when I slept with a referee.

140
00:06:13,982 --> 00:06:18,073
But you know the guy at Foot
Locker wasn't really a referee.

141
00:06:18,116 --> 00:06:20,989
Yeah. And I wasn't really
J.Lo's sister,

142
00:06:21,032 --> 00:06:22,686
but we both got what we wanted.

143
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:26,124
Hey, Jen.Oh, hey, Lee.

144
00:06:27,735 --> 00:06:29,693
Okay. Are we doing the usual?

145
00:06:29,737 --> 00:06:31,695
Actually, no.

146
00:06:31,739 --> 00:06:32,957
My mom finally said it's okay

147
00:06:33,001 --> 00:06:34,655
for me
to do something different.

148
00:06:34,698 --> 00:06:37,048
So, I want
to do super short pink bangs.

149
00:06:37,092 --> 00:06:39,268
Ooh, I like that.

150
00:06:39,311 --> 00:06:41,705
And maybe, like,
pink tips on the bottom?

151
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:44,578
Love that. [laughs]
Okay, um, let's get...

152
00:06:44,621 --> 00:06:46,580
Excuse us for a second.

153
00:06:46,623 --> 00:06:48,408
Hold on.Pink?

154
00:06:48,451 --> 00:06:50,235
You know what kind
of salon we are.

155
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,368
We don't do pink here.

156
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:54,588
Natural colors only,

157
00:06:54,631 --> 00:06:58,548
and if someone has a very good
reason, strawberry blonde.

158
00:06:58,592 --> 00:07:02,770
Uh, she's young. She's just
trying to express herself.

159
00:07:02,813 --> 00:07:05,120
And there are plenty of salons
where she can do that,

160
00:07:05,163 --> 00:07:07,035
like that goofy one downtown

161
00:07:07,078 --> 00:07:09,429
with aromatherapy
and a hookah bar.

162
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:14,825
We cater to the
traditional clientele.

163
00:07:14,869 --> 00:07:18,133
I know.She can express herself
with short, medium and long.

164
00:07:18,176 --> 00:07:20,831
It's not like
we don't offer choices.

165
00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:24,574
But that's not what she wants.
What am I supposed to tell her?

166
00:07:24,618 --> 00:07:27,751
Tell her if she wants to rebel,
she can buy a jean jacket.

167
00:07:30,972 --> 00:07:33,017
[sighs]

168
00:07:34,018 --> 00:07:35,411
Hey, guess what.

169
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:37,500
I had a chance
to do something creative

170
00:07:37,544 --> 00:07:39,502
and cool for my client today,
and Ruth squashed it.

171
00:07:39,546 --> 00:07:40,808
I'm sorry.

172
00:07:40,851 --> 00:07:42,287
It's just frustrating.

173
00:07:42,331 --> 00:07:43,245
It's not why
I became a hairdresser.

174
00:07:43,288 --> 00:07:45,377
Yeah, I know.Like, yes,

175
00:07:45,421 --> 00:07:47,510
I started off washing heads,
never thinking,

176
00:07:47,554 --> 00:07:49,860
ten years later,
I'd still be working for Ruth

177
00:07:49,904 --> 00:07:51,601
in a salon
that's frozen in time.

178
00:07:51,645 --> 00:07:52,733
I hear you.

179
00:07:52,776 --> 00:07:54,604
How was your day?

180
00:07:56,345 --> 00:07:58,260
I actually have
some pretty great news.

181
00:07:58,303 --> 00:08:01,698
But, you know--
ugh, that darn Ruth!

182
00:08:01,742 --> 00:08:02,786
Just tell me.

183
00:08:02,830 --> 00:08:04,266
Okay, good.

184
00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:05,920
I, uh, I got an
actual sponsor.

185
00:08:05,963 --> 00:08:08,052
Like, a money sponsor.

186
00:08:08,096 --> 00:08:09,706
That's fantastic.Yeah, I know.

187
00:08:09,750 --> 00:08:11,229
It's not a lot,
but it'll help cover some

188
00:08:11,273 --> 00:08:12,970
of the bowling expenses.

189
00:08:13,014 --> 00:08:14,406
And if we ever want
to get cremated feet first,

190
00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:15,973
I have an in.

191
00:08:16,017 --> 00:08:18,585
No. We talked about this.

192
00:08:18,628 --> 00:08:20,369
I want to be buried
in one of those boxes that grows

193
00:08:20,412 --> 00:08:22,197
into a tree so Sam has a place
to cry every day.

194
00:08:24,765 --> 00:08:26,810
Can it be an apple tree so
we don't have to bring snacks?

195
00:08:28,595 --> 00:08:30,118
Sure. Mm-hmm.
Thank you.

196
00:08:30,161 --> 00:08:31,946
Check it out.

197
00:08:36,472 --> 00:08:38,300
A mortuary?

198
00:08:38,343 --> 00:08:39,736
Yeah. I know
it's kind of creepy,

199
00:08:39,780 --> 00:08:40,955
but I feel like
I can just lean into it,

200
00:08:40,998 --> 00:08:42,913
make it part of my brand.

201
00:08:42,957 --> 00:08:44,306
Like, after the match,
go up to the other bowlers

202
00:08:44,349 --> 00:08:47,918
and be like,
"So sorry for your loss."

203
00:08:47,962 --> 00:08:51,661
But, uh, hold on. What about
the jersey that Archie gave you?

204
00:08:51,705 --> 00:08:52,793
Well, I can only wear this one
during tournaments.

205
00:08:52,836 --> 00:08:54,098
That's what the deal is.

206
00:08:54,142 --> 00:08:55,404
What did Archie say?

207
00:08:55,447 --> 00:08:58,189
I-I didn't tell Archie yet. I...

208
00:08:58,233 --> 00:08:59,843
Oh.

209
00:08:59,887 --> 00:09:01,410
But, you know,
this is, like, a real sponsor,

210
00:09:01,453 --> 00:09:03,543
like the ones
the bowlers on tour have.

211
00:09:03,586 --> 00:09:06,067
Uh-huh.And I feel like
me getting recognized like this

212
00:09:06,110 --> 00:09:08,591
also reflects
on Archie as a coach.

213
00:09:08,635 --> 00:09:10,854
So you're just gonna
tell him that?

214
00:09:10,898 --> 00:09:12,987
I see what this is.

215
00:09:14,641 --> 00:09:15,859
But I've broken bad news
to Archie plenty of times.

216
00:09:15,903 --> 00:09:17,861
I know how to do it.

217
00:09:17,905 --> 00:09:19,559
After all, I was the one
that told him

218
00:09:19,602 --> 00:09:20,995
gluten-free cookies
still aren't that great for you.

219
00:09:21,996 --> 00:09:23,432
If you say so.

220
00:09:23,475 --> 00:09:25,086
Okay, see, I know what

221
00:09:25,129 --> 00:09:26,609
"If you say so" means.Mm.

222
00:09:26,653 --> 00:09:27,654
It's like when we tell
Sam "Maybe," or I tell you

223
00:09:27,697 --> 00:09:29,786
"I'll look at it tomorrow."

224
00:09:29,830 --> 00:09:31,788
We're all very polite liars!

225
00:09:36,924 --> 00:09:38,969
Hey, you ready?
Today we're working

226
00:09:39,013 --> 00:09:40,275
on your release
and follow-through.

227
00:09:40,318 --> 00:09:42,538
I hope you wore
your tight underwear

228
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:44,061
'cause you're about
to bowl your ass off.

229
00:09:44,105 --> 00:09:46,194
[laughs]

230
00:09:46,237 --> 00:09:48,370
Look, Archie, I-I'm
a little worried, man.

231
00:09:48,413 --> 00:09:49,719
We got our first
tournament coming up,

232
00:09:49,763 --> 00:09:51,591
and I'm short on equipment.

233
00:09:51,634 --> 00:09:53,941
I mean, look.
My-my bag's all crapped out,

234
00:09:53,984 --> 00:09:55,638
my shoes are older than Sam,

235
00:09:55,682 --> 00:09:57,335
and I only got
one decent ball.

236
00:09:57,379 --> 00:09:58,902
Don't worry
about that right now.

237
00:09:58,946 --> 00:10:00,817
It's all I can think about.

238
00:10:00,861 --> 00:10:03,515
I mean, Arch, that money has
to come from somewhere.

239
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,996
Once your career takes off,
the money'll come.

240
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,347
Tournament winnings,
endorsements, sponsors.

241
00:10:09,391 --> 00:10:12,481
It's a crazy coincidence
that you said "sponsors."

242
00:10:14,439 --> 00:10:15,919
I think I just got one.

243
00:10:15,963 --> 00:10:18,792
You did?Yeah. Powell's Mortuary.

244
00:10:18,835 --> 00:10:20,576
They're-they're gonna
give us real money.

245
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:23,623
Huh.I mean, how great is that?

246
00:10:23,666 --> 00:10:25,755
They only thing is, I can
only wear their jersey

247
00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:27,452
during tournaments,
but still, high five!

248
00:10:28,845 --> 00:10:32,632
So you made this decision
without talking to me first?

249
00:10:32,675 --> 00:10:34,982
I-I'm talking to you now.

250
00:10:35,025 --> 00:10:36,853
This is good
for both of us.

251
00:10:36,897 --> 00:10:39,464
It means I'm a legit pro bowler.
It's good for my brand.

252
00:10:39,508 --> 00:10:42,816
Oh, I didn't realize
you have a brand now.

253
00:10:42,859 --> 00:10:44,818
Come on, Arch.
It-It's business.

254
00:10:44,861 --> 00:10:48,038
We both benefit.
You understand, right?

255
00:10:48,082 --> 00:10:50,214
Of course I understand.

256
00:10:50,258 --> 00:10:51,868
No big deal.

257
00:10:53,130 --> 00:10:54,741
Where are you going?

258
00:10:54,784 --> 00:10:57,047
I just got to take care
of some business.

259
00:11:00,572 --> 00:11:02,705
[clears throat]

260
00:11:02,749 --> 00:11:06,143
[microphone squealing]Lane five, your
nachos are ready.

261
00:11:06,187 --> 00:11:09,233
And, Smallwood, you
have five minutes

262
00:11:09,277 --> 00:11:12,149
to clear out your locker, or
your stuff goes in the dumpster.

263
00:11:15,936 --> 00:11:18,547
I'd make fun of you, but
my nachos are ready, so...

264
00:11:24,771 --> 00:11:25,728
What the hell is going on?

265
00:11:25,772 --> 00:11:27,730
Nothing.Nothing?

266
00:11:27,774 --> 00:11:28,731
You just took away my locker.

267
00:11:28,775 --> 00:11:30,733
If you need somewhere

268
00:11:30,777 --> 00:11:32,517
to store your stuff,

269
00:11:32,561 --> 00:11:35,520
perhaps Powell's Mortuary has
an empty casket you can use.

270
00:11:38,045 --> 00:11:40,569
I knew it. It's
about the jersey.

271
00:11:40,612 --> 00:11:42,440
You know, I was really hoping
you'd see the bigger picture.

272
00:11:42,484 --> 00:11:44,312
It's not just the jersey.

273
00:11:44,355 --> 00:11:46,227
It's the interview
and that stupid hat

274
00:11:46,270 --> 00:11:47,054
and that swollen head
that's in it.

275
00:11:48,751 --> 00:11:51,014
I get a lot of
compliments on this hat.

276
00:11:51,058 --> 00:11:53,147
You don't get it.

277
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:55,497
I had this whole thing
planned out.

278
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:57,499
First we win a few tournaments,

279
00:11:57,542 --> 00:11:59,980
then we get some big money
from a big sponsor.

280
00:12:00,023 --> 00:12:02,460
You think Nike would
have called Tiger Woods

281
00:12:02,504 --> 00:12:04,941
if he was wearing a jersey from
a bunch of damn gravediggers?

282
00:12:04,985 --> 00:12:07,465
Nike's not calling. Powell is.

283
00:12:07,509 --> 00:12:09,729
He says he believes in me.

284
00:12:09,772 --> 00:12:13,254
Oh, good. You finally found
somebody who believes in you.

285
00:12:15,647 --> 00:12:17,301
You know what I meant!

286
00:12:19,521 --> 00:12:20,696
He knows what I meant.

287
00:12:23,917 --> 00:12:26,267
Thanks for doing this.Oh, are you kidding?

288
00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:29,444
This is the kind of cool, edgy
stuff I dream about doing.

289
00:12:29,487 --> 00:12:32,099
Finally, I get to do a hairstyle
that doesn't scream,

290
00:12:32,142 --> 00:12:35,276
"Tom Selleck is the
Sexiest Man Alive."

291
00:12:35,319 --> 00:12:37,582
I hope I'm as cool
as you when I'm old.

292
00:12:40,194 --> 00:12:43,458
Okay, uh, why don't
we let this soak in

293
00:12:43,501 --> 00:12:45,329
while I let that soak in?

294
00:12:46,330 --> 00:12:48,071
Unbelievable.

295
00:12:48,115 --> 00:12:50,334
Oh, hey, honey.
This is Lee.

296
00:12:50,378 --> 00:12:53,033
Hi. Nice to meet you.Oh, she's not listening.

297
00:12:53,076 --> 00:12:54,599
Good. Unbelievable!

298
00:12:57,124 --> 00:12:59,082
What's wrong?It's Archie.

299
00:12:59,126 --> 00:13:00,823
He completely overreacted.

300
00:13:00,867 --> 00:13:02,390
The one guy
who's supposed to have my back

301
00:13:02,433 --> 00:13:04,914
kicked me out of my locker.Oh, so the whole,

302
00:13:04,958 --> 00:13:07,656
"Don't worry. I'll handle
Archie" thing didn't work out.

303
00:13:07,699 --> 00:13:09,005
Really? We're-we're gonna review
the game tape while I'm down?

304
00:13:09,049 --> 00:13:10,659
That's...

305
00:13:10,702 --> 00:13:12,966
Okay, I'm sorry.

306
00:13:13,009 --> 00:13:15,403
Apparently, I'm an egomaniac.
How can he not see

307
00:13:15,446 --> 00:13:17,013
that everything
I'm doing is for us?

308
00:13:17,057 --> 00:13:18,798
I-I wouldn't even be a bowler
if it weren't for him.

309
00:13:18,841 --> 00:13:20,800
Right.He's like a father to me.

310
00:13:20,843 --> 00:13:22,932
That's true.The last person
I'd want to let down is Archie.

311
00:13:22,976 --> 00:13:24,542
I know.
So why are you doing that?

312
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:28,546
You're right.
I-I got to fix this.Okay.

313
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:34,944
Archibald.Helen.

314
00:13:34,988 --> 00:13:36,728
I brought supper.
Where's Tommy?

315
00:13:36,772 --> 00:13:38,556
Not here.

316
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,949
When's he coming back?

317
00:13:39,993 --> 00:13:41,385
Don't know.

318
00:13:41,429 --> 00:13:42,778
What's going on?

319
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:45,781
Ask him.

320
00:13:47,217 --> 00:13:49,698
Well, I'm asking you.

321
00:13:49,741 --> 00:13:50,830
We had a dustup.

322
00:13:50,873 --> 00:13:52,266
A big one.

323
00:13:52,309 --> 00:13:54,877
You guys don't have time
for dustups.

324
00:13:54,921 --> 00:13:56,531
My son put his family at risk

325
00:13:56,574 --> 00:13:59,055
to follow a dream
that you told him he could do.

326
00:13:59,099 --> 00:14:01,492
Well, apparently,
he doesn't need me.

327
00:14:01,536 --> 00:14:04,495
Oh, for God's sake,
is that what this is about?

328
00:14:04,539 --> 00:14:06,236
You may want to stop
spraying those shoes

329
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,455
so you can start
sucking your thumb.

330
00:14:10,893 --> 00:14:12,939
Talking about somebody
believing in him.

331
00:14:12,982 --> 00:14:15,463
Well, guess who believed in him
since the beginning. Me.

332
00:14:15,506 --> 00:14:17,726
I know that. So does he.

333
00:14:17,769 --> 00:14:20,033
Well, he didn't even mention me
in that damn interview.

334
00:14:20,076 --> 00:14:22,339
What the hell are
you talking about?

335
00:14:22,383 --> 00:14:24,907
He said he wouldn't be
where he is without his family.

336
00:14:24,951 --> 00:14:27,649
Well, I hate to break it to you,
bonehead, you are his family.

337
00:14:33,568 --> 00:14:37,180
Hey, um... what...
what's that?

338
00:14:37,224 --> 00:14:38,878
Is that your
seven-layer lasagna there?

339
00:14:40,575 --> 00:14:41,750
You know damn well it is.

340
00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:45,449
But you don't get a bite of it

341
00:14:45,493 --> 00:14:46,755
until you work things
out with Tommy.

342
00:14:46,798 --> 00:14:48,365
[whiny]:
Aw.

343
00:14:55,851 --> 00:14:56,852
Incentive.

344
00:15:15,349 --> 00:15:18,482
Could I...?Oh! Yeah! [exhales]

345
00:15:22,356 --> 00:15:24,271
You almost had yourself a sale.
[laughs]

346
00:15:24,314 --> 00:15:26,838
Oh.What?

347
00:15:26,882 --> 00:15:30,973
Is this theTom Smallwood
in my showroom? I...

348
00:15:31,017 --> 00:15:32,932
I'm Jacob Powell.Oh, my goodness.
So nice to meet you.

349
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:35,717
Oh, you probably don't want to
do that. It's been a busy day.

350
00:15:38,198 --> 00:15:40,852
So, uh, what brings you by?

351
00:15:40,896 --> 00:15:43,899
Well, Mr. Powell, I wanted
to talk to you about my jersey.

352
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:45,945
I really appreciate you
wanting to sponsor me,

353
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:48,077
but it would mean a lot
if I could have the logo

354
00:15:48,121 --> 00:15:50,036
for Archie's Lanes
on there, too.

355
00:15:50,079 --> 00:15:53,648
Uh, no. You see, the logo rule
is the same as the casket rule--

356
00:15:53,691 --> 00:15:56,172
one per customer.

357
00:15:56,216 --> 00:15:59,567
I mean, can't you just
make an exception?

358
00:15:59,610 --> 00:16:01,134
For the logo, not the casket.

359
00:16:01,177 --> 00:16:03,179
I get that one.

360
00:16:03,223 --> 00:16:06,008
Tom, if there's one thing
I've learned

361
00:16:06,052 --> 00:16:09,533
in the body box business,
it's that life is short.

362
00:16:09,577 --> 00:16:11,579
And unless people stop dying,
I'm going to be putting money

363
00:16:11,622 --> 00:16:14,321
in your pockets
for a very long time.

364
00:16:14,364 --> 00:16:16,018
Now, I get it.

365
00:16:16,062 --> 00:16:18,368
The bowling alley guy
helped you out.

366
00:16:18,412 --> 00:16:22,546
But what you need to think
about right now is your family.

367
00:16:22,590 --> 00:16:24,940
Right?

368
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:27,073
Right.

369
00:16:27,116 --> 00:16:29,118
Ah, yeah. Ooh.

370
00:16:29,162 --> 00:16:31,033
You're a tall one,
aren't you?

371
00:16:31,077 --> 00:16:32,817
Yeah, we have to cut guys
like you off at the knees.

372
00:16:35,081 --> 00:16:37,170
Yeah, I'm kidding.
We don't do that.

373
00:16:37,213 --> 00:16:38,345
Uh, anymore.

374
00:16:42,740 --> 00:16:45,178
So, I followed up
with Foot Locker guy.Mm-hmm.

375
00:16:45,221 --> 00:16:48,398
He's bald, overweight,
really let himself go.

376
00:16:48,442 --> 00:16:51,140
You're still gonna hook up
with him, aren't you?

377
00:16:51,184 --> 00:16:53,882
You know J.Lo's sister so well.

378
00:16:56,406 --> 00:16:58,408
So, guess who I just saw

379
00:16:58,452 --> 00:17:02,238
loitering outside the Dairy
Queen with pink bangs and tips.

380
00:17:02,282 --> 00:17:04,849
Lady Gaga?

381
00:17:04,893 --> 00:17:08,157
Jen, I spoke to her.
She told me what you did.

382
00:17:08,201 --> 00:17:10,464
Okay, yes, I did her hair,

383
00:17:10,507 --> 00:17:12,596
but I did it in my own home,
on my own time.

384
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,381
That's not the point.

385
00:17:14,424 --> 00:17:16,470
You represent this salon.

386
00:17:16,513 --> 00:17:19,038
You've been working
here a long time, Jen.

387
00:17:19,081 --> 00:17:22,563
You know I created a very
specific business model.

388
00:17:22,606 --> 00:17:25,870
People come here
knowing what to expect.

389
00:17:25,914 --> 00:17:28,090
I mean, don't you want
to evolve a little?

390
00:17:28,134 --> 00:17:30,092
I mean, you might actually
get more business.

391
00:17:30,136 --> 00:17:32,877
My salon has been
doing just fine

392
00:17:32,921 --> 00:17:36,098
for 30 years with the same
rules we've always had.

393
00:17:36,142 --> 00:17:38,970
No crazy haircuts, no TV screens
and no breastfeeding.

394
00:17:40,581 --> 00:17:43,062
I know. I've read the sign.

395
00:17:44,672 --> 00:17:47,718
When you have your own salon,
you can do it your own way.

396
00:17:56,988 --> 00:17:58,686
Hey.

397
00:17:58,729 --> 00:18:00,166
Hey.

398
00:18:00,209 --> 00:18:04,213
Look, man,
I-I just want to...Listen, man.

399
00:18:04,257 --> 00:18:05,997
If I could just...I just need to...

400
00:18:06,041 --> 00:18:07,347
You go. You go.No, you go ahead.

401
00:18:07,390 --> 00:18:09,958
Can I just say something?!

402
00:18:10,001 --> 00:18:12,830
I'm sorry. I-I didn't
see an end to that.

403
00:18:15,224 --> 00:18:17,313
Here.What is this?

404
00:18:17,357 --> 00:18:19,315
It's a check
from Powell's Mortuary.

405
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,145
That guy puts tombstones
on everything, doesn't he?

406
00:18:23,189 --> 00:18:24,842
It's meaningless

407
00:18:24,886 --> 00:18:26,931
compared to everything
you've given me over the years.

408
00:18:26,975 --> 00:18:29,151
The free lane time,
the lessons.

409
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:31,153
The bike you gave me
so I could get

410
00:18:31,197 --> 00:18:32,807
to the bowling alley
after school.

411
00:18:32,850 --> 00:18:34,765
The bottomless curly fries.

412
00:18:34,809 --> 00:18:39,248
Well, the curly fries wasn't
bottomless. Your stomach was.

413
00:18:39,292 --> 00:18:42,121
Arch, youalways
believed in me.

414
00:18:42,164 --> 00:18:44,427
I forgot that
for a minute, and I'm...

415
00:18:44,471 --> 00:18:47,038
I'm really sorry.

416
00:18:48,301 --> 00:18:50,433
I really appreciate
that, Thomas.

417
00:18:50,477 --> 00:18:53,436
Look,

418
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,698
and you know that...

419
00:18:54,742 --> 00:18:56,657
Yeah.

420
00:18:56,700 --> 00:19:00,661
And sometimes,
I can be... eh...

421
00:19:00,704 --> 00:19:02,924
Don't worry about it.

422
00:19:02,967 --> 00:19:06,057
Really feels good
to talk this out.

423
00:19:07,668 --> 00:19:10,105
Listen, on second thought, why
don't you just keep the check?

424
00:19:10,149 --> 00:19:13,064
It's just a jersey.
I don't really give a damn.

425
00:19:13,108 --> 00:19:16,111
I do. You're my sponsor
and you always will be.

426
00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:18,983
Henceforth.
I do say that too much.

427
00:19:21,290 --> 00:19:23,423
Rip it up.You sure?

428
00:19:23,466 --> 00:19:26,165
Yes.

429
00:19:26,208 --> 00:19:28,384
There's gonna be
a lot more money like that

430
00:19:28,428 --> 00:19:30,691
when you and me win
a PBA Championship as a team.

431
00:19:30,734 --> 00:19:32,606
I don't think
that's gonna happen.

432
00:19:32,649 --> 00:19:36,784
Why?'Cause you can't keep your
damn elbow in on your release.

433
00:19:38,046 --> 00:19:40,091
Now get your ass
down that lane.

434
00:19:40,135 --> 00:19:41,136
We got a lot of work to do.

435
00:19:44,618 --> 00:19:46,533
You know,
when you smile real big,

436
00:19:46,576 --> 00:19:48,578
the back of your neck
crinkles up like a puppy dog?

437
00:19:51,407 --> 00:19:53,148
Just shut up and bowl.

438
00:20:01,025 --> 00:20:03,289
Thanks again
for the flowers, Lew.

439
00:20:03,332 --> 00:20:05,247
Oh, yeah.There's something creepy
about them.

440
00:20:08,468 --> 00:20:09,817
You should've seen 'em
with the sash

441
00:20:09,860 --> 00:20:11,906
that said "Gone too soon."

442
00:20:13,821 --> 00:20:16,171
No, what's gone too soon
is that money from Powell's.

443
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:20,784
Sorry about
all that trouble, by the way.

444
00:20:20,828 --> 00:20:23,178
So, how about another piece
of that lasagna, Helen?

445
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:25,789
It was worth the wait.Well, the secret

446
00:20:25,833 --> 00:20:28,879
is noodles, sauce, meat, cheese,

447
00:20:28,923 --> 00:20:33,232
noodles, sauce,
meat, cheese.

448
00:20:33,275 --> 00:20:37,061
And then you just kind of
keep doing that.

449
00:20:39,325 --> 00:20:40,935
Don't give away
the family recipe, Mom.

450
00:20:41,936 --> 00:20:43,807
[knocking]

451
00:20:43,851 --> 00:20:46,767
Oh, I'll get it. [sighs]

452
00:20:49,204 --> 00:20:51,685
Hey. Lee, what are
you doing here?

453
00:20:51,728 --> 00:20:53,991
This is my friend Hannah. She
likes what you did with my hair.

454
00:20:54,035 --> 00:20:56,733
Oh, it's dope. Can you do
the same for me except in blue?

455
00:20:56,777 --> 00:20:58,344
[sighs] My boss would
have a heart attack

456
00:20:58,387 --> 00:20:59,345
if I did that again.

457
00:20:59,388 --> 00:21:02,348
So come on in.
