Switched at Birth (2011–2017): Season 3, Episode 5 - Have You Really the Courage? - full transcript

Toby: Previously on "Switched at Birth"...

All right, let's begin with the long-awaited
unveiling of Tank's latest creation.

Welcome back to the class.

Bay, I am your coach.

I don't even wanna be here!

You tricked me into playing,
and now you're yelling at me.

- So I'm done.
- I have talked to Nikki

and Toby extensively, and they have been

very clear about what they want.

You think I don't know my own daughter?

Seriously, Nik and I could put
our whole house in this room.



I'm thinking about getting my own place.

Well, I'm excited for you.

So Toby and I were talking
about field hockey this morning,

and let's face it, you and I
are gonna be carrying this team.

Why aren't we moving?

What would you say

about going to Nashville,
just the two of us?

That's when Renzo and I
are gonna go to New York

- to pitch my new book idea.
- I get it.

You wanna fly solo. Well, you know what?

I can fly solo too.

So, to scour a pan, you need to...

Light it on fire.

(Sighs) Toby.



You soak it first and then you scrub it.

Great. Otherwise,

it'll ruin your pans.

If he ever uses them.

Okay. What is that? What's that look for?

I just can't believe that
this is your last dinner here.

Mom, come on, we're still
gonna be able to eat together

after I move out.

Why can't you wait a week?

Until we're both in town to help you.

I paid first and last month's rent.

So I'm already paying for it.

He wants to start his new life.

(Phone rings)

Oh. That would be Senator Rue.

Gotta take that. Hey, Jack. Yep.

Are you sure I shouldn't try
to move my trip to New York?

Don't you have the meeting
with Renzo's publisher friend?

I mean, you don't wanna flake out on her.

Yeah, but I...

you've been so excited about this.

Yeah, you're right.

I am excited.

I think I finally have an idea with a hook.

I can really see myself selling that book.

And I could see it on
the shelves, and I...

I can see I'm... I'm getting
ahead of myself, aren't I?

No! That's called optimism.

Now go over there, sell your
second book, then come back and...

obsessively hang some
curtains in my new place.

- (Laughs)
- You know what?

I'm gonna skip this whole Nashville thing

and help you move, young man.

- Really?
- Yes!

- That awesome.
- Yeah. It's just, you know...

it's gonna be a dog and pony show.

I'm not gonna miss anything.

Well, great. Then, uh,

I'm gonna go call Travis and
tell him that he's off the hook.

And by call, I mean text.

Because he's deaf. (Knocks on counter)

Are you sure it's okay for
you to miss this trip, honey?

Yeah yeah. There's gonna be a
lot of senators there already.

I'll just be another guy in a Navy suit

his wife picked out for him.

You go to New York.

Have fun.

You know, you haven't asked
me yet what my book idea is.

What is your new book idea?

Well, now you're just
asking because I told you to.

Kathryn, do you wanna
tell me the idea or not?

I'll tell you later.

I have to pack.

Oh, you did not need to bring
these all the way up here.

I could have gotten them
back from you on Wednesday.

Oh, no, an artist needs her tools.

(Softly chuckles)

Wow, I don't even know what that is,

- but it is dope.
- It's not really a thing.

It's more of a... a feeling.

Like, let's call it anger.

I had a pretty rage-y junior year.

Uh, it's... (Stammers)

I don't know art words, but it rules.

(Both chuckle)

I can't believe you made all of these.

Yeah, I'm actually feeling
a little overwhelmed

by my, uh, prolificness right now.

I'm supposed to pick some pieces

to show this Pratt recruiter tomorrow.

Oh. Well, let's see.

Well, you should definitely
do the soccer ball one,

uh, the bathtub one.

And...

Oh, the face thing.

Now that thing rules.

Oh. Hey, Daphne.

This is my friend Tank.

He's from my college life.

And Tank, this is Daphne.

Hey, nice to meet you.

Hi, uh, nice to meet you too.

(Chuckles nervously) Wow, that was bad.

I'm sorry. I did a little signing in church

when I was little, but I barely remember.

Eh. "A" for effort.

(Girls chuckle)

Hey, where were you, by the way?

You totally missed Toby's last supper.

Oh, Sharee and I wanted to get in

an extra practice before tomorrow.

Toby's bringing in some girls from
another school to run defense drills.

- Wait, I thought you were on the team too.
- Nope.

Dodged that bullet. Chose my art.

It was very noble.

(Laughs)

Hey, did you know your sister is like

the Michael Phelps of art?

Oh, yeah, I know. (Chuckles)

Uh, okay, seriously...

you are like a genius.

Well, I should, uh, head back to campus.

But I'll see you Wednesday?

Yeah.

Okay.

Good night.

I swear I had no idea that he liked me.

Well, he's cute. Do you like him?

(Sighs) Not like that.

(Gasps) You're a person

who has people crushing
on you like all the time.

- What do you do?
- That's not true.

You just have to

tell him how you feel.

Or don't feel.

Can't I just hope that it goes away?

Usually it doesn't go away for a while.

I've had my heart broken
like a zillion times,

and I just don't wanna do that to him.

Well, the longer you
wait, the harder it is.

Trust me.

You just have to rip off the band-aid.

It's the right thing to do.

Regina: Wait a sec.

You got into a fight with this girl,

and you are still driving her to school?

Well, it's not her fault. Sharee
just had a rough start at Carlton.

You've got college apps due in a few weeks

and a probation officer to keep happy.

I met with him on Monday.
Everything's fine at the clinic.

I'm a third through my
hours. And it's all good.

Maybe it is now, but
if you keep hanging out

with questionable kids with anger issues...

You don't even know Sharee.

She got you in detention.

- That's all I need to know.
- (Sighs)

(Knocks on table)

I'm just trying to remind you

that who you choose to hang out with

is really important.

They can either keep you on your path

or drive you right off it.

Like Jace.

I messed up this summer.

I know that. But I moved past it.

And if you continue to
question everything I do...

I just don't think you
should be driving her.

That's all I'm saying.

I made a promise, okay?

Sharee is a good person.

She just needs someone
to give her a chance.

Here.

And of course that someone has to be you.

(Door closes)

- Dad, you got that?
- Yeah, I got it. It's fine.

Where do you want Nikki's photos?

Oh. Just by the window.

Thanks for bringing some
of Nikki's stuff over.

Yeah, no problem.

I really wanna set up a little
office area for her right here.

- That'd be nice.
- Is there room for that?

Well, yeah, if you know
how to maximize your space.

I feel like this one room can
be like four different rooms.

I sent some pictures to
Nikki. She loves the balcony.

Yeah yeah, she said.

I wanna set it up so
it's part hers, you know?

So she has a home to come home to.

I mean, I know she has your place, but...

That's a really nice gesture,
and I'm sure she'll love it.

And you too.

I wa you to know, you're
always welcome here.

Okay, I'm gonna grab the rest of the stuff.

Uh, dad? No more heavy stuff.

I got it.

(Sighs deeply)

Thanks.

Is that like a thing?

They get married, they start acting

like they're your parents?

I'm afraid so.

Nikki sent me a link to one of those
"I've fallen and I can't get up" phones.

(Laughs)

She was kidding, but she wasn't.

- So how you been?
- Uh, good.

You know, good. Yeah, you know, good.

Passing laws, taking names?

Yeah... yeah.

Uh, how about you?

I miss Nikki.

It's just so weird having
the whole house to myself.

Well, you should come
over for dinner sometime.

I'd really like that.

And yeah, Toby's been so great.

He's been checking up on me.

Well, he's really happy
Nikki's coming home.

Nikki hasn't discussed this with Toby yet,

but they've asked her to stay
another six months in Peru.

And, uh, what is she gonna do?

She hasn't decided anything yet,

but she's having an amazing time there,

and she's not ready to come back.

I see.

(Clears throat)

Oh, God. You know what?
I'm... I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have said anything. It's not...

No. You know what? Um,
thank you for telling me.

You leave us alone!

We'll just do fine without you!

You don't need me. You need help.

Get out!

Go!

- Baby...
- Stop!

(Car starts)

(Tires screeching)

Let's go.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

It's just drama. It's cool.

(Changing radio stations)

Is that a bruise?

It's from field hockey.

I forgot my damn lunch.

Do you wanna go back and get it?

No, it's cool. Just drive.

- You do all these by hand?
- Yes.

Sir.

I've seen so much digital work,

it's refreshing to see something handmade.

Uh, my friend Tank...
he's a football player...

I got really inspired by his playbook.

You know, all the "X"s and "O"s.

See, that's great.

So many applicants have the same backstory.

They were outsiders. They found
themselves through their art.

Whatever can make you
stand out is valuable.

I was switched at birth.

- Were you, really?
- True story.

Well, that's something
that happened to you.

I'm talking about things you do.

I know sign language.

A lot of our applicants are bilingual.

I also, uh...

play field hockey.

No kidding.

An artist who's also an athlete.

You should definitely include
that in your application.

It's those sort of activities

that will really make you stand out.

Very nice.

John: So, Jennice went
out to grab some lunch.

- Cool.
- You know, I was thinking, uh...

Since Nikki's not coming
home for a couple of months,

why not make this place your own?

Embrace the single life?

I'm not single.

I know, but, you know,
bring your guitars over,

stay up too late playing video games,

leave your underwear everywhere. All that.

Dad, I can't believe you're
still trying to convince me

that I made a mistake marrying Nikki.

- That's not what...
- Nikki and Jennice are family now.

I need you to respect that.

I do respect that, Toby.

It's been difficult sometimes, but I do.

Well, then what's this about?

Nikki might not be coming
home when you think she is.

What?

(Exhales)

She told Jennice that she's been asked

to extend her stay.

Well, she didn't tell me that.

I think you need to talk to your wife.

(Rock music playing)

This was a two-actor
adaptation of "Titus Andronicus"

with live snakes.

I jumped out of a pie.

I can't believe we actually did that.

And we weren't even paid.

Renzo had no room for misery, though.

He was getting busy

with a hot delivery boy.

He was not a delivery boy.

He was a novelist

and a delivery boy.

(Phone vibrates)

I directed a version of Shakespeare's...

Oh, hold that thought.

Hello?

- Yeah...
- We've been here for 20 minutes.

We're catching up.

Aren't I supposed to be pitching my idea?

Yeah, we're gonna get there.

But she hates it when I push
my friends' book ideas on her.

What am I doing here?

Your idea is brilliant.
I'm getting to it, trust me.

Thanks.

Sorry about that.

Okay, so guess what. Kathy here's a writer.

And her two daughters
were switched at birth,

and she wrote this really
incredible book about it,

and it did really well. And
now she's got a new book idea.

And I know you hate it when I do this,

but this is a really great
idea, and you gotta hear it.

(Sighs) Okay. I'm listening.

I get so sick of urban ennui.

Let's hear something Kansas.

Okay. (Chuckles)

Well, I just started
taking tap dancing lessons

a couple weeks ago. And
that's where I met Renzo.

And it was so invigorating.

So here's my idea...

I try 40 new things and I write about them.

Parasailing, trout fishing,

turkish baths.

All kinds of exciting things.

I have written up a treatment

and a few sample chapters.

- So...
- Adorable, charmed, love it.

Just bought it from someone else.

Really?

Yeah.

"Sporty in your 40s."

Oh...

Mine was "40 in your 40s."

You got any other ideas?

Well, I...

nothing fleshed out.

So I guess, um...

this is it.

Hey, there.

My mom went out of town for the weekend,

and she made enough lasagna for a month.

No, thanks.

You think I could borrow your car?

What? No. Why?

My mom... she didn't show up for work.

Is everything okay?

She isn't answering the phone.

I gotta go look for her.

I'm a really good driver,

and I promise I'll be back
for practice this afternoon.

I promise. Please?

Thank you.

Hey, Nik, it's me, uh, again.

So, I guess just call me
back whenever you get this.

Hey!

Cool pad, bro.

A cactus?

It's a succulent.

I don't really know what that means.

It was between this or place-mats.

You don't have to water it, like, ever.

Thanks.

Okay, here's the thing. I need...

to get back on the field hockey team.

- But you quit.
- Yes, I know.

But I had a meeting with
a Pratt recruiter today,

and it turns out I need to
diversify my extra-currics.

No.

You already backed off the team.

I can't just put you back on.

Your decisions affect other people.

What are we talking about?

Your team needed you, and you flaked out.

I know, but... (Sighs)

I thought I had to be all "art
or nothing," and I was wrong.

I shouldn't have dropped out, I'm sorry.

Please, I really really need this.

(Sighs)

We're running some drills this afternoon.

You can fill in for goalie.

Goalie?

Isn't that a pretty prominent position?

You sure you want me doing that?

Well, Mindy wants a break.

And if you can prove to me
that your heart is still in it,

then I might let you back on the team.

Ohh!

You're the best.

I promise I'll bring the heat.

Whatever that means.

Hey, why doesn't Mindy
want to be goalie anymore?

Uh, she's tired of getting hit by balls.

Uh, I don't want that either.

Well, then maybe you should put in a
little practice before this afternoon.

(Indistinct chatter)

Thanks again for helping me out today.

You're a really good friend.

No prob. It's gonna be fun.

Okay, so, take your place in the net.

Pardon?

(Chuckles) Okay.

Here's what you're gonna block.

From there to there.

And imagine like a foot

- above your head too.
- Okay.

I got it.

Ready?

Ha! As I'll ever be.

Ay.

Okay... oh, sorry.

Bad dodgeball memories.

All right, first things first:

You can't be scared of the
ball, or the ball will know.

How will the ball know?

Trust me, it'll know. Okay?

So, remove the fear.

Plus, you're gonna be
covered in so much padding.

Imagine that you're wrapped in a mattress.

Face the ball with fury.

Okay, yeah, all right.

I got it.

Dude! Trickery!

That is so not fair.

That's lesson number
two. Reverse psychology.

The player's probably
gonna try to fake you out.

You have to keep your eye on their stick.

It'll help you predict
where they're gonna go.

Know the future... got it. Go again.

No! Ooh! (Screams)

- (Laughing) Nice one!
- I almost got it!

That was beautiful.

Hey, so, um, after the drills...

Do you want to, like,
grab a little barbecue?

Yeah, let's do it.

All right.

Okay, so, get gussied up.

And I'll meet you in 20 minutes, okay?

You know what? I think
I'm just gonna stay in.

- I'm really tired, so...
- Very funny.

You okay?

It's just that we came all the way here

to New York, and it was over in 30 seconds.

You had one brilliant idea.

You'll have another.

What if I don't?

The girls are gonna be gone
next year, Toby's moving out.

What am I gonna do, spend the
rest of my life redecorating?

Oh, honey.

Okay, so, here's the plan.

We are gonna freshen up,

then we're gonna go downtown,
get you some Marc Jacobs heels

you can barely walk in.

And then we're gonna find out
exactly what a "cronut" is.

And we're gonna meet Lydia and her
girlfriend, we're gonna have drinks.

We are here, and we're gonna have fun.

Yeah?

Yes.

(Both chuckle)

We're not in Kansas anymore.

Okay, these are good
for one free car detail.

Go hard on 'em. All right?

Thanks for doing this.

Have you seen Sharee?

No. Uh, but I'm sure she'll be here.

(Ickers)

(Rock music playing)

This is me

giving it my all.

Okay.

Let's get you to the net.

Hey! What are you doing here?

I had a meeting cancel, and I
thought I'd come check you guys out.

Is it okay if I watch?

Oh, it's... we're just...

it's not much of anything.
We're just running drills.

I wanna see you and Bay in action.

I promise, you won't even know I'm here.

Okay. (Exhales)

- Hey.
- Hey.

I'm serious... if she's
not here in five minutes

she's off the team.

If who's not here?

Sharee.

She'll be here.

Ready? Break!

Toby: All right, ladies...

Let's go!

♪ War ♪

(whistle tweets)

♪ This is war... ♪

Come on, hustle! Keep it up!

♪ Take no prisoners... ♪

Come on, play defense! Let's go!

♪ Choose your weapon... ♪

Come on, Bay! Look sharp!

Bay! You're letting those
balls go right past you.

(Whistle tweets)

Bay!

What was that?!

Daphne, eye on the ball.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Where's your head at?

I know that you can take these girls.

They're fast, but you're smarter.

I'm just distracted.

You need to be the force of you and Sharee.

Get your head in the game.

I'll try.

Hey, check this out, Kennish!

(Cheering)

(Giggles)

I guess you haven't told him yet.

Oh, you didn't tell Emmett
for like eight years.

(Cheering continues)

You are a mattress!

I am a mattress!

Yeah!

Whoo-hoo! Come on, Bay!

- Okay.
- Okay, so insert figure "A,"

which is the long, flat one, I think.

- Okay.
- Into section 17...

With screw type... matches "W."

Okay, that sounds doable.

But I don't think that's gonna happen.

It's upside-down. Oh, my God.

Okay. Okay. You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm retiring and I'm giving up.

- (Laughing)
- Oh, come on.

- Seriously.
- No.

If Nikki's not coming home,

Toby doesn't need a bookcase
anyway. You know why?

He likes to keep his
books in a place called,

- "all over the floor."
- (Phone beeps)

Well, Nikki's O.C.D.
clean, if that helps any.

(Phone beeps)

Is something wrong?

Uh, it's nothing.

It's just this guy I was gonna
see tonight just bailed on me.

It's okay. Now I can do
what I wanted to do anyways.

What was that?

Find a bar that's playing the fight,

order myself a nice scotch,
maybe some curly fries.

The Manny Pacquiao fight?

- Yeah.
- You're gonna watch that?

- Yeah.
- I'm gonna watch it.

You can join me if you want.

Yeah, sure.

Toby: All right!

(Pop music playing)

(Whistle tweets)

- Oh!
- (Whistle tweets)

Foul. Hacking. Free shot.

- Free what?
- Penalty shot.

Bay: Wait, I'm sorry, what's going on?

Why is everyone going back there?

Toby, what's happening?

Bay, you got this.

Know the future!

(Daphne and Bay cheer)

(All cheering)

I did it! Did you see that?

I think I understand sports now.

Ha! Whoo!

(Light cheering)

So, am I on the team?

Yeah. Nice work out there.

That was awesome!

Ha-ha, yay me. You can
put me down now, thank you.

Still wanna get that barbecue?

Totally, yeah.

Um, or maybe...

Uh, Toby, hey!

Why don't we all go back to your place

for like a celebratory pizza party thing?

All of us?

What the hell.

Party at my place.

(All cheering)

So good.

- You guys did so great!
- Thanks.

Uh, I need to borrow your car.

What? Why?

I lent mine to Sharee.

You did what?

She really needed it.

She promised she'd be right back.

What were you thinking?

Please.

I just wanna go to her house

and see if she's okay.

"Okay" how?

What is going on?

I don't know.

I picked her up this morning,
and her mom's boyfriend

came storming out of the house.

And I saw a bruise.

Okay, I'm coming with you.

(Rock music playing)

Hey! It's the half-pint hero.

In the flesh.

I'm sorry. We had to
stop for some supplies.

These guys are incapable
of hearing the word "party"

and not immediately pairing
it with "malt liquor."

Huh. Well, as long as you don't
serve it to those in high school,

- I think you're good.
- Totally.

Hey, uh, you were really
incredible out there today.

Oh, it's all thanks to your aggressive,

yet effective coaching methods.

Well, hey, anytime.

I like hanging with you.

Cool. Uh, you should grab some pizza.

I gotta go talk to the coach.

Yeah.

So you had sex on a plane? Ho-hum.

Hey, it was a six-seater
cessna, thank you very much.

- Yeah!
- Yeah.

Where was the pilot?

Flying the plane.

- Oh. Oh!
- (All laugh)

Okay, don't look now.
But that girl at the bar

with the actual dragon tattoo,

is totally checking you out.

What?! Me?

Oh, my God. I was kidding. I was kidding.

Oh, my God, you have to lighten up.

A vodka Martini for the lady.

Please.

You know what? Me and
vodka is not a good idea.

Which means it's the best idea.

Wait. Oh, my God. Actually...

she's checking you out for real.

Wow.

- She's really pretty.
- Gorgeous.

Senator Kennish better watch his back.

Ooh!

I get why she wants to stay longer.

That's not the point. The point is that
she didn't even talk to me about it.

Well, maybe she was going to,

but she was just waiting
for the right moment.

There's been plenty.

Maybe things are going so great
between the two of you that...

she didn't wanna ruin it with bad news.

It doesn't matter.

If you care about somebody,
then you'll be honest with them.

(Phone buzzes)

Finally. Here she is.

Hey.

(All chuckling)

So I knew these two baseball
players from the Royals.

- And their wives...
- Which one?

- Don't get excited yet.
- (Laughter)

- Who decided that they wanted to swap.
- Okay.

So, they're out on the road,

and they have one of those
$800 dinners. You know?

With the lobster and a side of steak.

And they drink, not three,

- but four bottles of Château Lafite.
- Uh-oh.

- Want.
- Of course.

Then they go back to their hotel,

where they conveniently have
rooms right next to each other.

And they swap.

- (Gasps )
- Mm-hmm...

But one of the players had
been dabbling in steroids,

so when it came time to seal the deal,

let's just say he wasn't
exactly batter's up.

(All laugh)

So the disappointed wife goes
next door to join the other couple.

But lo and behold, it turns out

that the women were way
more into each other.

- (Gasps)
- This is awesome.

♪ I love it! ♪

They lock the husbands out.
And the husbands spend the night

sleeping head to toe in the other room,

while the ladies are...

Ohh!

- (Laughter)
- Love it.

Here's the clincher.

- There's a clincher.
- Uh-oh.

Both couples still married.
No one speaks of it.

Until now. Me.

- Aah!
- I'm speaking of it.

(Laughter)

Bad me!

Do you have any more of those stories?

Oh, gosh, tons.

I mean...

Because that book...

I would buy.

- (Gasps)
- Really?

- Yeah!
- What do you think?

(Daphne sighs)

(Exhales) I don't see your car.

That's her mom.

Hi.

Sorry to bother you.

No, no problem. Can I help you?

I'm Sharee's friend,
Daphne. This is my mom.

Hi.

Oh, yes, Daphne.

The girl's who's been
driving my baby to school.

I really appreciate that.

Um, Daphne was just a
little worried about Sharee.

So she wanted us to check in.

Um, she missed her field
hockey practice today.

She should be home soon.

Y'all hungry?

I'm making gumbo.

It was just gonna be the two of us,

but it'd be so much nicer with guests.

Um, we just wanted to check in.

Sharee never brings her friends over,

and I always tell her that
she should, so I insist.

Come on in, please. Please.

I'm just gonna get the rest of these.

Oh, here. Let me help.

Oh, thank you.

You're a gem.

Thank you.

Come in.

I'm a cat lover, as you can see.

(Kisses, meows)

They're probably hiding. (Laughs)

Don't mind them.

Oh, s... sorry about the mess.

I was just so sick of looking at that wall.

I... I just needed some more room.

You know?

(All chuckle lightly)

Why don't you all make yourselves at home?

And just push all this stuff
aside, and we're gonna eat.

Is something burning?

Ohh...

I left the broth on when I
went to get some more shrimp.

Let me go check.

Excuse me.

She left the stove on?

So, it's like "Real
housewives of baseball."

Glamour meets smut meets sports.

I know! It's fantastic.

"Nine Innings of Grey." Totally.

This is so exciting.

This could be huge.

First a book, then a movie.

There could be dolls.

- I haven't even said yes yet.
- Shh.

(Gasps)

What should we do?

I'm not sure.

What are you doing here?

- Where have you been?
- I'm really sorry.

I was just about to call you.

Hey, baby. Dinner's almost ready.

Mom, what the hell? Where
have you been all day?

I am fine.

I am making your grandma's gumbo.

You can't just not show up for work.

Your boss is really pissed.

(Exhales)

We should go.

No! No.

Please stay.

I invited them to stay.

Gumbo's almost ready.

I just gotta finish shelling the crabs.

You know?

Working as... as fast as I can here.

Maybe I should help?

(Exhales)

The more the merrier.

(Chuckling)

It's not what you think it is.

I'm not even sure what I think this is.

It's not like she's on
drugs or anything like that.

What was the fight this morning?

Her boyfriend left.

He's a really good guy. He
just can't take it anymore.

Take what?

Sometimes she's up, sometimes she's down.

Sometimes she's so down,
she tries to hurt herself,

and I... I have to stop her.

We should talk to someone.
Someone at Carlton.

Hell no.

I got it.

If you wanna be a friend to me,

you'll leave this alone.

Promise you'll leave this alone.

Hey, mom.

Um, I just remembered
we said we'd have dinner

with the Kennishes.

Right.

Maybe a rain check.

Y'all are welcome here anytime.

You know, just come by anytime.

Aw, Sharee.

These are good people here, Sharee.

Yeah.

(Rock music playing loudly)

Hey.

Hey.

What are they doing?

Um, don't mind them. They're idiots.

- The very definition.
- Yeah.

Are you having fun?

Yeah.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, sure. Aren't we talking now?

I don't know how to say this.

Uh...

So I'm just gonna say it.

I see you as a friend.

And... and that's it.

And I... I just

wanna make sure that I'm being clear.

Yeah.

No, totally. I can respect that.

I think you're so great.

I really do. I'm not just saying that.

And I've never had a guy friend before.

And you are just so...

That's cool.

Uh. (Chuckles)

I think I should head out.

Oh, no no. You don't have to go.

No, it's... I got an exam tomorrow.

I haven't started
studying for it yet, so...

Hey, thanks for the invite.

Tank, wait.

(Groans)

Tank: Oh, my God, Bay.

Somebody call 9-1-1.

- Come on. That's just not fair.
- Did you or did you not

let your wife run off to
New York with another man?

- A man who wears festive bowties.
- (Laughs)

And like you're doing any better,

hanging out with a guy who
cancels on you at the last minute?

Come on, we gotta find you someone better.

Trust me,

there's no one left.

All the good ones are taken.

I'm sure that's not true.

- Guess what.
- What?

I saw you play once back in the day.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

This was '91?

A Rangers game.

I drove down to Texas to see a friend,

and we caught a game.

You were incredible.

Yeah.

Can't play like that anymore.

I bet it's still in there somewhere.

Ahh.

Nope.

All washed up.

Oh, come on.

Seriously.

So washed up in fact,

that the Republican committee

decided in their infinite wisdom

to disinvite me from
Nashville this weekend.

Seems a wife needed a seat
on Senator Rue's plane.

(Chuckles)

"John, do you mind hopping
a commercial flight?

Surely you understand."

Well, screw them.

Yeah.

(Phone rings)

Hey, Wes.

No no, it's not too late.

I'm here for you. What do you need?

What's that quote? Uh...

"I don't wanna be a part of any
club that would have me as a member."

Who said that?

Somebody definitely said that.

(Both chuckling)

Somebody?

Well, that's real helpful.

Well, you're very welcome.

Honestly, it makes sense
to me that they're...

Oh, no. I'm here.

I'm... I'm so sorry.

No, me too. I...

uh.

I should go.

I'm...

- have a good night.
- Yeah, y...

I...

(door opens, closes)

Hey.

I thought you were right behind me.

Oh, uh, sorry.

I had to take a call from Wes.

I heated up some of Kathryn's
lasagna if you're hungry.

I gotta go finish my civ paper.

Daphne, wait.

We need to talk about Sharee.

But I promised I wouldn't say anything.

I don't think that's an option.

Well, you were right, okay?

I should have kept my distance.

You told me you saw a bruise.

She said it was from trying to
stop her mom from hurting herself.

Honey, no kid should ever have to deal

with that all by herself.

Her mom is mentally ill.

I don't know with what.

But she's not well.

Sharee needs help.

She said she could handle it.

This is not our business.

Uh, when you started drinking again,

would you have wanted
other people to butt in?

If you had asked me a few years back,

I would say you're right.

But honestly,

when Bay didn't mind her own business,

she saved my life.

But I promised.

I know, I know.

You are trying to do.

But sometimes...

promises need to be broken.

Will you help me make the call?

Oh, of course.

Of course.

(Sighs)

Oh, uh, nothing much.

You know, uh, just,

uh, hung out, watched the fight.

What about you?

What did you do tonight?

I sold a book idea.

- We're here, uh, celebrating.
- Oh, great.

- I wanna hear all about it.
- Okay.

Well, um, it's a... kind of a...

Oh, sweetie, hold on.

Oh, can I call you right back?

That's Toby on the other line.

Sure.

Bye.

Yeah.

What? Where is she?

Toby: Okay, dad's on his way.

Just sit tight, okay? I got you.

Want some water or anything?

I... I don't know.

You did some job on this, huh?

Should I be, like, freaking out right now?

Uh, once we get you stitched
up, you should be okay.

Yeah, absolutely.

Paramedic: Female, 17
years old, deep laceration

to the right hand.
Transporting her to County.

E.T.A. 10 minutes.
Parents have been notified.

I'm really glad you're here.

Yeah, of course.

You sure you don't want
some water or anything?

Or like a really sincere hug?

(Chuckles) I think I'm good, thanks.

Can I get a high five?

(Laughs)

Ow.

Aw, look at you...

(Indistinct)
