Kevin Can Wait (2016) s02e23 Episode Script

Brew Ha Ha

1 So, what's the story, kids? You buying the place, or am I letting Alviti turn it into a parking lot? We're having a bit of trouble coming up with the whole down payment.
How short are you? The whole down payment.
The guy's putting pressure on me.
I gotta give him a decision by the end of the week.
Oh, who are we kidding? We can't buy this place.
Or can you? No, we can't.
Chale, in this country, when someone dramatically says, “Or can you?” that's a good thing.
Kids, I have completely drained my 401.
I'm going to invest in your dream.
- Wait.
What? - What?! - Uncle Kyle! - Uh! - That's unbe - There is a string attached.
When the new place opens, I want a beer named after me.
- Oh, good call.
- Yeah.
I want the Kyle Gable name to live on.
It'll be my legacy, you know.
Kind of like Sam Adams.
You do realize that Sam Adams was famous before he had a beer named after him, right? Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
I just know him for the beer.
- Okay, well - Yeah.
- Of course.
- Of course we can.
Yeah! Yeah! - You got a check from me! - Oh, my gosh! This is so amazing.
We were just - The numbers, and we just - Hmm.
Um, this is for $6,000.
You told us that you had over $100,000 in your 401.
Yeah.
Mistakes were made.
Um Most recently, I got into the Bitcoin market.
Bought a bunch.
Turns out they were just old subway tokens.
- What's goin' on, boys? - Hey, hey, hey! Eh, we're just talkin' about Enzo's being turned to dust.
Oh, yeah.
Lotta memories here.
I met Cindy at the end of the bar.
I was wiping crumbs off my shirt.
She thought I was trying to dance with her.
To this day, she still thinks this is an actual dance move.
Yeah, and it was right over there where I became a champion.
Still get chills.
- Oh, yeah.
- Champion? Yeah.
Back in the day, Enzo's had a Whack-a-Mole, and I was the champion from 1989 to '92.
Really? Yes, really.
- You got this.
- Yeah, I do.
Get it.
Get it.
Get it.
Get it.
Get it.
Get it.
Get some.
Get some.
Get it.
Get it.
Oh, hey, get it.
Get it.
Get it.
Get some more.
Get it.
Get some more.
Get more.
Get it.
Get it.
Get it.
Get some.
Get some more.
Oh, God.
Get some more.
Get it.
Get some more.
Get some more.
Get it.
Get some more.
There you go.
Yeah! Ha! - Whoo! - Waaa! Man, those were some good times.
I remember the first time I came here.
Crazy story.
- Uh, Diet Coke, please.
- You got it.
That's it? That That's the whole story? I've only been here a few times.
That was the best out of three.
You know, another great memory here was that time I-I surprised you guys with that check for $80,000.
Remember that one? No.
No, I don't remember that.
That's right.
'Cause it's happening now! Ba-boom! - What?! - What?! - Yes! - Dad, what How did you do this? No.
I took out a second mortgage on the house.
What?! $80,000? This That's more than enough for the down payment! That's right.
We're gonna buy Enzo's, is what we're doing.
Wait.
Now, Dad, are you sure? This is a lot of money.
I've never been more sure about anything in my life, all right? Dad, thank you! I love you! This is You know, it seems like he's got things covered, so it's probably best if if I get my check back, 'cause that thing's gonna bounce like a basketball.
We do that twice a week.
Twice.
That would be - Hey! - Hey! Come on! We have to go to work! Yeah.
I just got to grab my wallet upstairs, all right? Right now, I'm just kickin' around ideas for the new Enzo's.
And now, are we clear on what I want? I guess so, but you do understand Whack-a-Mole - is a kids' game, right? - No, no, no.
It's all about hand-eye coordination and and and mental recognition.
He's right.
NASA use it for their astronauts to work on their cognitive abilities before they embark on a mission.
- Oh.
- Seriously? No.
It's a children's game wherein they're taught to bash adorable things with a mallet.
Okay, look.
I knew this was gonna happen.
I knew once you bought the bar, you would lose focus on your real job.
I can multitask, okay? Dad, we really appreciate your help, but Chale and I kinda know what we wanna do with it.
Yes, we were thinking of modernizing the place, maybe some signature coffee.
Ugh! You gotta listen.
Enzo's has a certain charm.
We wanna keep that charm.
And you wanna do that with Whack-a-Mole? For starters, yeah, I do, okay? And I got a whole bunch of ideas running around in my head.
- So, here - Okay, well, those are so amazing.
Why don't you go grab your stuff, and we will go over the details, okay? - F That's all right.
Perfect.
- Yes.
I'm very happy about it.
This is gonna be good, guys? - Very happy.
Very happy.
- Okay, yes! - Whoo! All right! - Yeah, team! He's out of control.
He's never gonna stop.
I thought he was supposed to be a silent partner.
That was non-silent.
Look, your dad is stubborn, okay? You want him to do something, you have to make it seem like it was his idea.
So “your” plans are “his” plans.
Sounds incredibly naive and childish.
Really? 'Cause he's a grown man who wants to put a Whack-a-Mole in your restaurant.
It could work.
Hey, Dad.
Got a minute? We were thinking about your ideas for Enzo's, and they're actually pretty great.
Oh, well, I got another one to add to the excitement.
I was watching “Urban Cowboy.
” Two words mechanical bull.
Chin-don! Right? Mechanical bull? Might be some liability issues, what with all of the broken necks.
Nah.
No, you'll be fine.
You just throw a mat down.
Between that and the peanut shells, you you We'll work it out.
It'll be good.
Well, let's put a pin in the bull idea.
Because we wanna get back to that other great idea that you had.
What other one? Yeah, remember you were talking about how you wanted to turn Enzo's into a brew pub? Yes! You were saying something about expanding the menu and trying new things with the pizza crusts.
- I said that? - Oh, yes.
Oh, it was very exciting.
You were also talking about doing wonderful new things with all of the coffees and the dessert menu.
Oh, and my absolute favorite of your ideas was craft beers from around the world.
C-Craft beers? Oh, yes.
You're brilliant.
Okay.
Here's how I know that's not true.
I don't even know what craft beers are.
The only “craft” I do know is macaroni and cheese.
So I hate to break it to you, but I never said it.
Actually, sir, you said that you thought it was Never said it, Chale! What's going on here? All right, Dad.
The truth is, you know, we have our own ideas for Enzo's.
And we really do appreciate you helping us out with the down payment.
We really do, Mr.
Gable.
Thank you.
But we kinda thought you were just gonna be an investor.
You know, like a silent partner.
What, just fork over my 80 grand and then shut my pie hole? We were hoping so, yes.
Well, ya ya hoped wrong.
Look, Dad, we know what we're doing, okay? - We did market research.
- Oh, market research? Let me tell you all the market research you need.
What has ten fingers and loves pizza? This guy! That's it! Okay, well, if someone knows about running a business, it's that guy, 'cause that's who's been running it for the last year.
- Chale has great ideas.
- Oh, really? Are they the same ones that landed him in my garage? We are staying there to help you.
- Help me?! - Yeah.
We cook.
We clean.
We watch the kids.
Yeah, and you boost my electric bill, and he clogs my DVR with all those British murder mysteries.
“Who shot Nigel?” I don't know, but I wish I did, 'cause he's boring the crap out of me.
It was Mrs.
Pettigrew, and I did not see it coming.
Okay, babe, babe, babe, not now.
You know what? We don't have to live here.
We can find our own place.
Oh, oh, actually, darling, we have a pretty sweet deal here.
No, no.
You know what? We're moving out.
And we're giving you your check back.
We don't want it.
Oh, actually, darling, we desperately want that.
No.
We don't need it.
We don't need anything from you.
Fine.
Then it's settled.
You know what? I'll take the money back, and and And I'll turn the garage into a game room.
Whack-a-Moles for everybody! Sounds great.
By the way, with an extra 80 grand, I'm gonna get a dunk tank.
That's what I'll do.
- Oh.
Actually, those, I love.
- Yeah.
Actually, you are killing me! I don't understand what happened.
My dad backed out.
Enzo, is there a chance we could just have a little more time to get the money? I can't.
I gotta take Alviti's offer.
It's now or never.
I ain't getting old in here and dropping dead on that stool the way my old man did.
He died on this stool? Yeah, that exact one.
- Anyway, I'm sorry, kids.
I'm sorry.
- No.
So, wait.
You guys aren't gonna buy the place? What's gonna happen to my beer? Look, I even had this logo made up.
It looks like your face in a snow drift.
'Cause it's my face in a snow drift.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Unh-unh-unh-unh-unh.
That's where the enemy is, over there.
We're not sitting at the bar.
They moved out last night.
Okay.
Well, she's still your daughter.
I don't care.
I got another daughter.
That's the benefit of a two-pack.
Look, I just want to find out where Kendra and Chale are staying so I can forward their mail.
That's all.
- Hi, Vanessa.
- Oh.
Hi, sweetie.
I'll have a a chicken Caesar, please.
And you? I'd like to start with a side of Drop-the-Attitude.
And maybe for dessert, you could stop being such a baby and telling me where you and Chale are staying.
- How about that? - Fine.
We got a room at Hotel-It-Don't-Concern-You.
I'll put your order in.
She never took my order.
You see that? - That's a direct shot right there.
- Okay, look.
You guys just need to sit down and talk this out.
Or at least just How about I mediate? No, I don't want you getting in the middle of this.
- Why? - Because My family used to argue all the time.
And you know want to know what they called me at Child Protective Services? “Lil' Peacemaker.
” It doesn't matter, all right? They gotta show a little gratitude.
- Oh.
- They're both children, man.
They need to grow up.
Ooh, I'm getting spumoni! Game! Whew! All right, Dad, you won again.
Now can I go practice my oboe? Oboe, shmoboe.
Come on.
This is family fun time right here, all right? Look, you just gotta work on your serve.
Put a little more mustard on it, all right, and I won't be jamming it down your throat.
All right, Sara-lish, you're up.
- Let's do this.
- Do I have to? It doesn't feel right without Kendra or Chale in here.
What? Hey! We don't mention their names again, okay? We are the Gables now.
The core three.
In fact, you know what? Let's take a picture.
- Let's do this.
- Really? Yeah, yeah, and then you're gonna text it to Kendra, and she's gonna text back, like, “Where are you guys having so much fun at?” And you're gonna be like, “The place you used to live.
In your face!” And then you jam on a couple of, you know, bomb emojis and an American flag.
Let's do it.
Come on, get in.
Dad, this is getting weird.
You're weird.
Come on, you're being very weird.
You know, I'll do it myself.
I don't need you.
There we go.
Get in here.
Get in here.
Close it up.
All right, everybody say “Happy Gables”" Happy Gables.
Okay.
There you go.
All right, we gotta take another one.
You guys are dead behind the eyes.
Well, it didn't take long for my dad to turn our apartment into his own little Dave & Buster's.
Darling, perhaps it's time we put a stop to this fight.
I mean, look, we can make your father's version of Enzo's work, with just a few minor tweaks.
No, no, don't turn Jell-O on me now.
We are not giving up.
And we can't let my dad win.
But your dad is saying the exact same thing, because you're both so stubborn.
I'm not stubborn.
I'm right.
That is what stubborn is.
No.
No, I'm passionate.
And you're the one whose ideas he's always stomping all over.
He treats you like a doormat.
As he has since our first awkward handshake.
Which he mocked.
I believe the exact phrase was, “He-e-y, fish hand guy”" Well, you may be okay with it, but I'm not.
Now, come on.
Let's take a picture.
Put your arm around me.
- Vanessa! - Yeah? Hey, can you take a picture of us? Sure.
Why? Oh, just for our Facebook page.
Trying to make your dad jealous, huh? Pretty much.
- Would you just talk to him, Kendra? - No.
Look, you can stay here as long as you want, but you really belong there.
No.
Chale and I are getting our own place.
Now, come on.
Let's do this.
Okay.
There you go.
All right, what do you say? You want to crack open a couple bottles of wine? I mean, it's Monday, and it's kinda late.
Oh, right, yeah.
Lost track of time.
Let's have some water.
Oh! We do photograph well together.
Oh, we do.
- What was that? - Nothing.
Hey.
You wanna see something sad? Check out this picture of Kendra and Chale.
They seem very happy.
It's staged, Guy.
They just posted it to get to me.
Okay, let me tell you this story.
My father and brother once got into a fight over something no one remembers.
They didn't speak for years.
So, finally, my brother put aside his stubbornness, and he made the first move.
He walked into my papa's little cottage, only to find him dead.
My brother regrets it to this day.
That smile's so fake.
- Uhh! - Hey, where are you? Uhh! Uhh! Wait a second.
That's Vanessa's.
Look.
She She better not be letting them stay there.
I told her not to get involved.
That would be an insane kick to the nuggets, but are you sure it's her place? Not 100%, but, you know, I'm gonna find out.
You want me to rent the apartment next to hers? You know blend in with the community, establish trust, and then set up a wiretap? I'm just gonna go over there.
Okay.
Hey.
- Is that Vanessa's place? - Yes.
Aren't you gonna knock? No.
That would be an amateur move.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
Don't you know anything about espionage? I know everything about espionage.
I got to be honest.
I don't think you do.
I don't think you even know what “espionage” means.
- Do, too.
- Do not.
- Do, too.
- It means spy.
Oh, no-duh! You don't knock on that door.
You come to the neighbor, and you work your way out to the patio, and you peek from there.
Okay, that's not espionage.
That's recon.
I have a feeling you don't know what “espionage” means.
- Really? - Yeah.
I think I know what I'm doing, okay? Been on the force for 20 years while you were eating waffles in Belgium.
Holland.
I'm from Holland.
Just pull the car around, would you? Okay.
But, tomorrow, you and I are gonna sit down with a map.
I asked for a female masseuse.
N-No, sir.
I'm I'm the building inspector.
I just got to check your patio for a second, if you don't mind.
- Go right ahead.
- Okay.
I hope Helen don't get annoyed, okay? Oh, she'll be fine.
I can sweet-talk her.
Helen's a dog! - Yep, yep.
- Aah! Aah! - Morning.
- Good morning.
Good morning! - Mm-hmm.
- Oh.
Okay.
Really? You're not talking to me? Oh, come on! Why are you mad at me? I was almost killed by a dog last night.
Yeah, because you were trying to spy on me.
Some people call it espionage.
But I believe the correct term is “recon.
” Okay.
The only reason I was there is 'cause you were harboring my daughter.
Harboring?! What She's not a fugitive.
I told you to stay out of this, Benedict Cumberbatch.
What? The traitor.
Oh, okay, that's Benedict Arnold is a traitor.
Benedict Cumberbatch is an actor.
Okay, you know nothing.
Okay? I can't believe you went behind my back.
They had nowhere else to go.
What was I supposed to say? Uh, “listen to your father, for he is wise in the ways of the world.
” Look, she's a sweet kid.
I've known her since she was born.
Do you know that, last month when I had the flu, she just brought me over soup? I didn't even ask her.
She just brought it.
I got you soup.
You never got me soup.
I would've.
I would have definitely done it, but you know what? They were out of lids.
What What am I gonna do? You want me to drive in the car with an open soup? That's literally one of the leading causes of death.
I'm sorry.
I'm not willing to die for you over open soup.
Okay, y-you know what your problem is? And And you're not gonna wanna hear this, but you don't You don't like change.
You don't want Enzo's to change.
You don't want your daughter to grow up.
You wanna control everything.
Yes.
Why do you think I'm going through all of this? I know, but you're just pushing her away.
It's like trying to control mashed potatoes by holding it in your hand.
And the more you squeeze and tighten, the more it slips through your fingers.
Wow.
You're thinking about mashed potatoes now, right? - I am.
- Yep.
We're done.
Hey, Dad.
I got your text.
What's the emergency? There's no emergency, all right? Grab a spoon.
I got you pistachio.
Your favorite.
That's your favorite.
Okay, can we stop arguing for one second, please? Honestly.
Fine.
I also got you black cherry and and Moose Tracks.
What's Moose Tracks? It's fudge and peanut butter cups in vanilla.
But I've eaten most of the peanut butter cups, so unless I missed a fudge vein, it's just vanilla now.
So, what do you wanna talk about? Listen, I was outta line trying to control the whole Enzo's thing and spying on you and telling Jack and Sara they were the only family I had left.
You said that? I did.
It got pretty dark.
I'm not But the truth is, um I miss my little girl, you know, and we miss you guys being in the garage.
I'm not gonna lie.
We miss being there.
And I'm sorry, too.
All right.
Oh! I got you this.
It's a couple grand light 'cause I had to get a dog bite stitched up at the E.
R.
, but Okay, but wait a minute.
How is this all gonna work? I'm gonna be a silent partner, all right? You and Chale do whatever you want with Enzo's, okay? Thanks, Dad.
Oh.
And, believe me, Chale really knows what he's doing.
He's good at this stuff.
I know.
I've held my tongue long enough.
I got something to say to you, brother.
All I wanted was my own beer A little legacy for myself But you couldn't let me have it, 'cause you never let me have anything.
Well, guess what? We are done.
You are dead to me.
Dead! It's back on.
We're buying Enzo's.
Great.
Call you tomorrow.
All right, guys.
This is a big moment for me.
I always thought I'd be giving this key to my son, but that wasn't in the cards.
So here you go.
Actually, I'm a manager.
I already have a key.
Wow.
Way to ruin it.
I'd like to be your first customer, so slice of pizza.
Actually, Dad, the first one is on the house.
And so are the quarters.
Quarters? Are you seeing what I'm seeing? No.
They.
Didn't.
Oh, yes.
We.
Did! But it's only here for a week, and then it goes back.
Knock yourself out! Oh, I'm not knocking myself out.
I'm knocking moles out! Get it.
