He's with Me (2013–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Lost Boys, Part One - full transcript

Ted seeks solace and spiritual guidance from a priest after learning that he was adopted and that Henny has been engaged before...a few times. Martin and Eddie get closer discussing their own spirituality.

Hey, Teddy.

You all right?

I feel like I'm insane.

My parents are my parents
and my fiancee is used goods.

What?

Yeah, Henny's been
engaged like five times.

Little Henny?

I feel like a gigantic fool.

You hear me?

I feel like a gigantic fool.

That's not true.



So, why'd you come in here?

I've been hanging out
at a lot of churches

in the city these
last few months.

I didn't know
you were religious.

Not formally.

Just been trying to deal
with the stress of work

and the wedding and
second-guessing everything.

Like what?

Work and the wedding.

Moving to New
York in the first place.

Ted.

You moving to New
York has brought you

some wonderful things,
including a lot more confidence.

Hell, a few months ago, you
had your head down a toilet.



But now look at you.

Here you are.

Your pail in hand.

But you don't need it anymore.

Your life is just
where it was before

you learn these things tonight.

And Henny
and your parents love you.

Everyone at that
table tonight loves you

and believes in you.

Except maybe me.

I'm gonna sit here for
a little while, okay?

What are you doing here?

Ted texted me.

Where is he?

Inside.

I'm glad Teddy texted us.

It's important for men to
be there for each other.

So they can live their
lives to the fullest.

A lot of their responsibilities
and their occupations

create a numbing
effect on their emotions.

Are these eloquent observations

something I might
find in a certain book?

Maybe.

And not that eloquent.

Maybe I'm full of shit.

Maybe there isn't a way
to make your feelings

connect to every
moment of your life.

I just wanna feel the way
that I felt when I met Val.

I mean, from the moment I first
saw her, I was just so sure.

More than being on the forest.

Or Monday night football.

So is that what love feels like?

Certainty?

Mostly yeah, I mean,
there sure are moments

of holy shit what the hell
is happening inside of me

and is that okay, but for me,
yeah, it felt like certainty.

Good to know.

Why, is the great Martin
Adams dating somebody?

He thought he was.

I haven't heard from
him in a few days.

I'm sorry.

Disappointed?

I think so.

You go to church?

Nah.

Organized religion
totally creeps me out.

You?

I'm a prayer.

I pray.

Really?

I would not have
thought that about you.

I'm allowed to pray.

Yeah, I just don't think

of you as a spiritual guy,
I guess.

Probably worse
things to do though.

World's such a fucked up place.

There are worse things
than a little prayer.

You look like
you might need to talk.

Sure.

I have had a hell of a day.

I just swore in front
of you and I'm sorry.

You're forgiven.

I just got a lot
of shocking news.

First of all, I found out
that people that raised me,

they're not even
my biological parents.

Now I'm left wondering
who the hell I am,

and I just swore in
front of you again.

I didn't use to use
profanity like this.

At least before
I moved to this city.

And what's it been like
since you moved here?

Well, challenging.

Not too many friends.

Low man on the
totem pole at work.

Really lonely.

And has it stayed that way?

Actually, no.

I just got a promotion at work.

I met this really beautiful
girl who loves me.

And I have these two friends

who have become
like brothers to me.

Really?

Yeah.

Martin and Eddie.

Sometimes I can't believe
they're the same species,

but I've really come
to depend on them.

Yeah.

People, they make all
types of connections.

Right, I mean,
that's why we're here.

That's what we're
all striving for.

Some sort of connection.

Any connection.

With anyone or anything.

I mean, you see it with
animals all the time, right.

They bond with others
that you would never think

would even tolerate each other.

Like the goat and the blind
horse on Animal Odd Couples.

But um.

Anyway, my point is that
these friends of yours

that have become like
brothers works the same way

with the people who raised you.

You know, they can also
feel like your parents.

You've made a
connection with them, right?

Whether they conceived you

with their bodies
or their minds.

You got a nice way of
putting things, Father.

Thanks.

We have our moments.

I also found out that my fiancee

has been engaged five times.

Five times.

That's a lot.

Well she didn't marry
any of them, did she?

God, I hope not.

That's a real prayer.

God,
I hope that she has not married

any of these guys that
she's been engaged to.

And why do you pray for this?

Because I love her.

And I wanna marry her.

I wanna marry her.

Thanks, Father.

You okay, bud?

You wanna be alone?

Actually, let's go get a drink.

All right.

All right, I'm game.

And note to Marty,
we know you're gay.

Game, G-A-M-E.

Okay, okay, I
don't need a spelling lesson.

I was just clarifying.

Right, but you know,
I know how to spell game.

Okay, all right, note taken.
