ROGER: My fiancée, Mukta Patel, was a beautiful soul.
And her tragic death at this cursed intersection,
which has taken so many before their time...
will not...
Sorry.
(exhales) Will not be...
Sorry, can you read that, Sean?
Thanks.
(clears throat)
"...will not be in vain.
"Thanks to our friends at the Department
"of Transportation Bureau of Electrical Operations,
drivers will now be able to make a safe left onto Division."
No. Word for word, please.
Thanks.
"Furthermore, overall congestion
"on the West Side should be lessened,
"particularly on weekdays between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m.
"And now let there be light--
red, yellow and green."
(soft gasping, chattering)
-Here you go, pal. -No.
There's an ending there.
"And, finally, courtesy of Roger's colleagues
-at South Side Toyota..." -Ah.
-Where the deals can't be beat. -"...can't be beat,
a 21-horn salute for the glistening ruby of Mumbai."

-Hi-yah! -Whoa. Careful.
That's Mukta's grandfather's nuptial sword.
Put it back in the scabbard, please.
Sorry, Uncle Roger.
This would have been such a cool wedding.
Yeah. For a culture associated with nonviolence,
they sure have a lot of swords in their ceremonies.
-Fair. -Major Ojenz news.
Ooh. (inhales)
So, are they in? Are your trader buddies investing?
They're still gonna tell us first thing Monday morning.
Marco, that's not news.
It's an update.
-It's not news. -Oh, I'm sorry,
are there not updates on the news?
What is this conversation?
-Hey. -Hey.
Hey, about the other night...
-Oh, the thing we-we really don't need to talk about. -Yeah.
So weird. It put me in this crazy headspace,
so I ended up doing a little bit of Web surfing.
Did you know that it's actually legal
for first cousins to get married
in a surprising number of states?
So a kiss isn't illegal.
Not even that unusual.
-Definitely a little weird. -Yeah.
I think we still don't need to talk about it.
Okay. All right. Cool.
-So, how you doing, Rog? -Uh, good days, bad days.
-Oh. Ah. -(chuckles softly)
-Sean and Agape. -How you doing?
-Oh. -The woman who changed my life
and Suroosh's diaper.
-Thank you. -(chuckles)
I am going to give him a bottle,
-then put him down for a nap. -Okay.
All right. See you, buddy. Have a good sleep.
-Nice to meet you. (chuckles) -SEAN SR.: Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you. -Hey.
-Aw. -An angel
sent from Ghana for me.
-Yeah. -Obviously, there's
a mutual attraction we have for each other,
but I'm not sure what to do about that.
-Yeah, no, you're gonna do nothing. -No, you do nothing.
-Um... -Don't screw things up with the nanny.
No, I am not taking your calls
-at 3:00 a.m. again, ever. -(sighs)
Ann, Sean, please. I'm a father first,
a sexual being second.
Oh, God.
Ah.
I think I owe you an "I told you so."
What are you talking about?
Uh, Grace was vibing me. She kissed me.
Like, a real kiss?
I believe the French call it a French kiss.
-Oh, my God. -Mm. Told you so.
Are you into her?
No. Just gloating.
Honestly, still reeling from Cora and doing stupid things,
but... I don't need to tell you about that.
Why? What-what-what have you heard?
The whole Nick story-- you puking on his boots.
-Oh, right. I totally forgot I told you about that. -Mm, yeah.
Yeah, that was the... stupidest thing I've done in months.
-Good. -(chuckles nervously)
ANN: Okay, everyone listen up.
I have my very first patient
-in my new office this morning. -Mm.
So, when this screen is up,
these rooms are off-limits.
Am I clear?
What about the bathroom?
That's got to still be all-access, right?
-Is it over here? -That's my thinking spot.
BRIDGET: Oh, my God.
You're gonna be at work anyway.
It's about establishing precedents, Bridget.
This is a land grab. It's like Hitler
rolling into Czechoslovakia.
SEAN SR.: Hey, guys. Me and Seanny got
the South Side Championship tonight.
-Big night. Lucky Pucks. -Go, Lucky Pucks, baby.
Yeah, I have plans with Stacy. She just broke up with Claire,
-and she really wants to hang out. -Mm. I have a meeting
-with Grace, so... -Really?
-Yeah. -Guys, can we just take a moment here
and just grasp the magnitude of this game?
Okay, we haven't hoisted the cup in-in 14 years.
-14. -Well, it is a hockey game, hon.
-Perspective. It's just... -Perspective? -Ouch!
-Perspective is for losers. -(doorbell rings)
-Perspective. -(gasps) Okay. He's here. Everyone out, please.
-(stammers) Yeah. -I haven't finished my breakfast.
And we haven't talked about your Clark Kent glasses.
-What the hell? -DAN: Morning, guys.
No, every-- Get the hell out.
-What? -She's got to find
a phone booth. She's got a city to save.
Just go.
Good luck, good luck, good luck.
-SEAN SR.: All right. -Okay.
Now I can't wear 'em.
(clears throat)
SEAN SR.: So, listen,
one of their defensemen, Bobby Sullivan,
-had COVID. -Yeah, no, yeah,
I heard he still can't breathe right.
Yeah. Really sad.
-Yeah. -Which is why we're gonna go right at him.
-Oh, my God. -Hey, man,
we want to win, right?
(dramatically): Father of mine,
I have been appointed
by some members of the team
to bring something up to you.
Why are you talking in that weird voice?
What's-what's-- This is about the showboating?
'Cause I'm-- The air guitar?
Playing my stick like an air guitar. They're all jealous.
Yeah, that's not great.
I also wouldn't assume they're jealous.
No, it's-it's about--
-and, again, don't shoot the messenger... -What?
They're gonna put you on the fourth line.
What?
-(sucks teeth) -With the accountant
and the kindergarten teacher? You crazy?
-Where's this coming from? (stammers) -Again, not coming from me.
-This is... -Some are saying you haven't scored a goal
in two-plus seasons.
I haven't scored a goal in two-plus seasons
because I turned into a playmaker.
I'm all about the assist now.
I think your assists might have been accompanied
-by one too many guitar solos. -'Kay.
I want a name. Who's behind it?
I, uh... (stammering)
There he is, my brother, the traitor.
-SEAN JR.: Yeah, I... -My own flesh and blood. Traitor.
So, how are things with you and Kyle?
PATRICK: A little tense.
He wants to move in,
but all of his other relationships seem to end
when he gets bored.
I guess I have abandonment issues.
Can I share something with you?
Sure.
Well, when I was... seven--
no, wait, I was eight--
my father took me to a rodeo, of all places.
And in between getting cotton candy and beer--
I mean, it wasn't unusual for him to drink during the day--
he lost me.
Like, literally, he lost me at a rodeo.
Talk about abandonment.
Go on.
As you were saying that,
I had a memory of my mom...
My mom--
oh, uh, a little perspective for you here...
All right. So, what about the intangibles, okay?
I'm the heart and soul of this team.
I told you, when I became captain,
-I would be data-driven. -(scoffs)
You want the data on why you're the captain?
'Cause you bring the hot chocolate. That's why.
-That is not why. -AGAPE: Quiet, please.
Suroosh is sleeping.
-(whispering): Sorry. -Sorry. -Sorry.
Sean's not taking the news well.
Oh.
(door closes)
Why does she know about this?
She's my sounding board.
(scoffs) Your sounding board.
Bounce this off her: I belong on the second line. Okay?
-Not according to the numbers you don't. -"According to the numbers."
-(scoffs) -Did you not talk to him about the senior league?
-What? -Oh, God.
-You never told him? -What?
-He got red-faced. -I was right.
-I'm not playing... -None of it went the way
-you said it would, Roger. -What?
Listen, we just think it's time,
-maybe-- Yeah, yeah. -What-what, you?
A lot of us discussed it.
And we think it's time you moved up to the senior league.
-The Silver Lions are looking for a center. -Silver Lions?
-I'm not playing on the S... -Dad,
think about it. You would dominate.
Of course I would dominate in that league.
Ed Burns is in that league. He's 75 years old
and can't go to his left.
You know why? Cataracts.
-That's why. Okay? -(phone vibrating)
Oh, thank God.
(exhales) What's the latest?
Coz, they want in.
$25K.
Are you serious?
That is some very good news. Whoo!
I said no.
Wh-What?
I can get 'em up to 50.
But we only need 25.
No, no, no, no, I got this.
I'm playing chess. They're playing checkers.
No, no, play checkers, play checkers.
Crown them. Take the 25.
Yeah, yeah. Stay tuned, stay tuned.
-I... -Let's go.
You no longer have an uncle.
This family.
Yeah, so I always felt like my mom expected me
to be the clean basket of laundry.
But I always wanted to be the dirty basket of laundry.
Earthy, you know, messy and, yes, Patrick,
just a little bit bad.
Oh, God. We're out of time. (chuckles)
I think we actually went over.
So, same time next week?
I'm not sure this is a great fit.
Oh, really? I really felt like
we were making some headway there.
I'm sorry.

Oh, no, I hope not. (chuckles)
I have been doing way too much partying lately.
That's kind of why I called you.
(chuckles softly) Because I'm boring?
Uh, no. Because I missed you,

Yeah, all I'm hearing is "boring."

I don't know. I was really drunk.
-We had a moment. It was so stupid. -(chuckles)
-Okay, um, what about Marco? -(sighs)
I don't know. He was drunk, too. But then,
yesterday, I saw him and he was acting so weird.
And... (sniffles) I don't know, call me crazy,
but I feel like...
he might be kind of into me?
Okay. Yeah, we are totally opening a bottle of tequila

Were you ever fired when you were starting out?
Do you really want me to answer that?
Oh, God. You just did.

Get this, okay? This-- The guys,
they want me to move up to the senior league.
Well, you have been getting injured a lot.

Okay, you're making noises, Grace.
Oh, no, no, no.
It's actually very normal,

Okay. You-you can go in the office now.
Actually, you know what? Better yet, I'm going upstairs.
Three steps at a time, okay?

I'm gonna go check on him, um, because I probably
could have handled that a little more delicately.

Okay, no problem.

Yeah, I'm just gonna go back downstairs,
and you two can talk about how nice I am.
Don't eat all those cookies.
Well, unfortunately, I have to cut this short.
I have to go to a marriage-mandatory hockey game.
You want me to come with you? We can keep talking.
