I didn't do anything.
It was just a joke that They're overreacting.
I know that.
The point is is they don't.
Look, Jim.
I've been all over this.

And the girl in it, she's all over the press talking about how you're the Yeah.
The situation How that improved her acting.

Your solution "Keep doing what you're doing"? All right.
You have a point.

And no more drinking till later.
Probably on the wrong block.
Hello?! Could somebody help me, please?! I'm gonna die.
Time number eight is gonna be in a tow yard.
[Chuckles.]
Hello?! Hey! Oh, please see me.
Thank God.
Hey, man! Hey! There's somebody in here! Hey, man! Please! Please! Yeah! Yeah! Hey! [Laughs.]
- Oh.
Shh.

Where have you guys been? Father-son drinking.
Good example there, Walter.
Kidding me? It was hard keeping up with this guy.
- [Laughs.]
- I know.
So, Jim, turns out we have a slight problem.
This looks tasty.
Dad, are you gonna get high? Is the pope catholic? I don't know.
They got a new pope, didn't they? Is he catholic? Wow.
I'm gonna get high with my dad.
This is awesome.
This is all very inspiring, but where's Billy? - We lost him.
- Oh, no.
"Lost" is a harsh word.
We misplaced him.
How did you lose Billy? Well, technically, we lost the van.
How did you lose the van?! It turns out Billy was in the van, so we lost him too.
No.
Misplaced.
And you're doing what about it now? We're talking about it, Jim.
What? Geez.
God! [Cellphone rings.]
Hello? Hey.
Jim? Listen.
It's me, Billy.
I can't hear you.
I'm trapped in the van in a tow yard in Culvert City! Billy's in a tow yard.
Well, there you go, Jimmy.
We talked about it, and now we've found him.
We should talk about Choco Tacos.
We'll find them.
- Man: Silver van, right? - Jim: Yeah.
Yeah.
Here it is.
It's, uh, $2,963.
It can't be $2,900.
It was a tow.
It was like four blocks.
This is a mistake.
Yeah.
It's repo.
It's four months late, man.
You got tax, fees, penalties all kinds of shit.
- Here you go.
- Four months? That's a mistake.
A mistake like leaving your brother in a van? We didn't leave you in the van.
It was repossessed.
Raul said you were inside.
Yes, inside! Inside the van, Steve! You weren't there.
He didn't say that.
- He said you were - We sent you a text! - Ernesto, do you have a - I was in that van for four hours! Shut up! You take credit card, Ernesto? - Yeah.
Sure thing.
- Thank you.
I j I can't believe you forgot me.
You just left me there! Well, shit happens.
Yeah, shit does happen.
But you don't leave a disabled guy in a van for four hours, Steve.
I mean, what were you even doing? Guess.
Drinking.
And w-where was dad? He was buying the drinks.
Well, that's just perfect.
You know, I never thought I'd be - the responsible one in the group.
- No joke.
It's very exciting.
It's, uh, declined.
You got another one? - Is that the card with the dog on it? - Actually, no.
This is the one with the down syndrome kid with a bunch of medals.
The special olympic card? That's a good card.
Look.
You got to help us out, man.
We need that van.
It's got his wheelchair in it.
Yeah, but no money, no van.
That's how it works over here.
This is a mistake.
I've paid this bill.
- Hey, excuse me.
Hey.
- Can I - You see the sign here? - Hold on a minute.
Yeah, if could just do that outside, I'd appreciate it.
I'll be like a second.
No, just one sec Let's do it outside.
- Look.
- L-let's do it outside.
- I'm just calling - See the sign? Let's go.
Let's move.
Thank you.
You too.
Yogi.
Let's go.
Come on.
Thanks for your help, Jim.
[Groaning.]
: Oh, God.
Ahh.
I hate this hold music.
Why do they put you on hold? No one enjoys the music.
I can't believe you missed a car payment, Steve.
- I can't believe it.
- I screwed up, okay? You had been making the payments, right? Steve? Of course I made the payments.
Steve? [Sighs.]
Oh, God.
"Oh, God" what, Steve? Oh, I just I had to get a I got an attorney to try to get Em back.
And I lost my job.
You don't have a job? How long, Steve? How long have you not had a job for? I don't know.
Like four months, I guess.
Oh.
I think right around the same time I got the attorney.
And then last month you gave me that credit card to go buy groceries, and I gave three grand to that dickhead attorney, and that's probably why the card doesn't work now, so Where have you been going every day?! - The bar.
- I knew it.
- I knew it.
- Oh, yeah.
Well, you know, I also charged a couple drinks on the card, and I got an awesome blossom.
[Tires screech.]
Ow! [Groans.]
[Breathing heavily.]
You've been getting drunk at Chili's? Well it's happy hour.
You're a loser, Steve.
You are a freakin' loser.
Yeah.
You think you got to tell me that? - We're gonna be homeless! - Oh, you're so dramatic! What's all the ruckus? Dumb-ass here spent all of our money and didn't pay any of the bills.
All right, all right, all right.
I'll see if I can help.
Maybe you can help.
You are his dad.
Steve owes $2,900 on the van alone.
Dollars? Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Thanks, Walter.
What other bills didn't you pay, Steve? None of it.

- Man: What's your card number? - Jim: Yeah, I already put my numbers in.
Yeah.
Look.
I-I had a credit card that I tried to use at a, um, at a tow yard, and, uh, it got declined.
And I was wondering if you could just get my card back up and running, please.
No problem, sir.
We can increase your credit limit.
You'll up my credit limit? Okay.
- Uh, thank you.
- Man: Have a nice night.
We'll get the car in the morning.

You can read the sign, right? Yeah.
No.
I've I've seen the sign.
I have.
See, here's the thing.

It's not like losing a bit of coins or something.
Someone obviously stole it.
You can see he's disabled and he needs it to live.
So if there's any way yeah.
No, I can't help you out, man.
The sign is in black and white, all right? This is bullshit! Ernesto, he's kind of disabled, so - Look If you point at that sign! - What are you gonna do, huh? You're gonna hear from my lawyer! That's what! Grab Billy.

A hundry.
That's not right.
You don't call them hundries, do you? What do you What do you What do you call them when you're trying to move product on the street? Benjamins! When you're out there doing business with your homies on the street, stacking up Benjamins like a fiend.

- Yes, it is.

Rodney's standing champ.
So if we win, what do we get? Jim, Billy, Steve: What? When we win, what do we get? Yeah.
Pride.

- Yesterday.
- Yesterday? And the van got towed away - because Steve hasn't been paying the bills.
- Steve.
- For like four months.
- Four months? And the guy at the tow yard stole Billy's wheelchair from the van, so we had to play a game of chess for the van.
You played a game of chess for the van? We had to.
They already had the chair.
And you lost? - No.
We won.
- You won? Then they beat us up, kept the chair, and took the van.
- They took the van? - Yeah.
- Beat you up? - Yeah.
- And kept the chair? - Sure did.
But I got my phone back.
Where are these boys? Is this true?! A son of mine stole a wheelchair from a guy with MD?! Ernesto did it.

- Darren.
That's a way better name than No Name.
It's the stupidest name ever.

Hmm? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Both of you, what do you have to say to these nice people? [Both mumbling.]
What? - Sorry.
- We're sorry.

- Oh.
No way! We're not saying thank you for them giving back something they stole.
All right.
Fine.
Thank you, Mrs.
Hernandez, for giving us back something we already owned.
- Thanks, Mrs.
Hernandez.
- Gracias por todos.
Good boys.

I found a ball.
You want to play? - No.
- No.
Why don't you go play? I think I slid in some dog shit back Yeah.
We're cool, man.
Oh, that's terrible, man.
Why is he playing ball by himself? We put so much attention on Billy, I think we forgot about Steve.
Maybe that's why he's so strange.
Hey, you don't have any of that coke, do you? For purchase, perchance? I wish I had girls.
My daughter is good.
She's in college.
Somehow she just managed to avoid all this stuff.
I hear what you're saying, ese.
Mm-hmm.
Got it.
It's my kid, so it's not like I'm gonna give up, right? I mean, I didn't make the car payments.
The lawyer burned me.
It's the right thing to do, right? That's how lawyers are, man.
I feel you.
So this, uh lawyer you're talking about, though, he's at 16th and Colorado, right? Yeah, he is, man.
[Chuckles.]
So, uh, what kind of car does he drive? Hey, what the hell?! Hey, man, that's my car! Hey! Hey, come back, asshole!
