Lucky Strikes (2024) Movie Script

1
Ladies and gentlemen.
This... is... it!
The National five-pin
Bowling Championship
Final!
Now, the moment
you've all come to see.
Introducing...
The reigning,
defending,
three-time
bowling champion,
Elbow
Grease!
If you don't beat this guy,
we are no longer friends.
No kidding.
And put your hands
together for the
challenger, Adam Senior.
Whoo!
Bowlers take your lanes!
Hmm, tough crowd.
All right, we win this,
we're national champions
and a hundred G's richer.
Thank you for everything,
Coach.
And what are you
gonna do with the money?
I'm gonna open up that bar.
You?
I was thinking of opening
up my own bowling alley.
I'd like to leave
Adam something.
Yeah.
That kid's got a bright future.
All right, you ready?
I'm ready.
All right.
Go get this!
Now I want a clean match.
We have all of us
in waiting for this.
Oh, I can
taste the tension.
It's like the moments
before a teenage boys first kiss
Shake hands.
Boom! Freedom!
Nope.
No, no, no, no.
Go ahead and just
close your mouth.
I'm not here.
But you're right
in front of me.
Am I though? Am I?
But I-
I just need-
I was just-
I...
Can you...
Okay.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Can I help you buddy?
There you go.
Ready?
Yes.
Mmm...
Ugh...
Ah, that's terrible.
Hey. Hey. Hey!
Burgerboy finally made it.
Fuck.
Woah!
Where did you get those?
Got a new sponsor.
Who?
Rather not say.
Who?
Dirty Dawgs Dry Rub.
Ew, dude you sold
out to Dirty Dawg?
I had to! I'm straight broke.
What do you mean?
You're making manager money.
$16 an hour? Pfft.
I'm living paycheck
to paycheck.
Okay, so you're
basically Oprah-level rich.
How are you so bad
with money?
Because I don't have any.
What?
Have you hit rock bottom?
I'm fine.
Hey.
I drove by my dad's old
bowling alley last night.
Ahh, so many
good memories there.
It's for sale.
Can you imagine
having enough money
to buy a bowling alley?
How much is it?
Ninety grand.
Ninety!
I don't even know
anyone with that much money.
Remember when my
dad used to work late?
He'd open up a lane and
he'd let us bowl all night?
Ahh yeah, those were good times.
Yeah...
But we need to focus right now.
Right.
Who are we playing again?
The Delivery Boys.
Who?
Is this woman
ever going to toss
the ball?
What?
Huh.
Do you have any siblings
you don't know about?
It's possible.
I am nothing like her.
What are you wearing?
This? This screams
'lil gravy.
Oh! And... what are those?
Those are for good luck.
I'm an extremely
spiritual person.
Ohhh...
Nice.
Yeah.
Are you two chumps
ready to make
fools of yourselves...
again?
Weren't you banned from league
play for lubing up the pins?
That was never proven.
Could have been anyone.
That's what a
guilty person would say.
You're greasy!
Like discount gravy.
Hey, Benny.
Give me a cup of gravy.
Oh thanks, Benny.
Nobody wants that gravy.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Cut this shit out!
Sit down, all of you.
You're on thin ice.
So close you're
about to fall in,
buddy boy.
Sit down.
Zip it.
If I have to
come back here again
you're all banned for
the rest of the month.
Audrey-
Don't!
I'll send you back to Creator.
The wise must travel
the road alone.
Jesus, Greg.
What the hell, man?
What are you doing?
I'm getting ready
for my audition.
I'm up for a big role.
In here?
It's the only place I
can find peace and quiet.
And my mom hired me as
the new bathroom attendant.
For what?
For the service!
You came in here,
it doesn't smell like pee.
Those toilet seats
are down and there ain't
a speck of water
on that counter.
Give the air a good whiff.
I'd rather not.
Fine.
Just cheap!
Ah yeah.
Awe!
My lollipop.
Yes.
Thank you,
thank you so much.
What's the damage?
Broker said we
could come by tomorrow
and chat about buying the alley.
Good! I'm excited.
So now would be a great time
to talk about my new promotion.
What was that?
Probably just mumbled something
about my new promotion.
Oh, don't jump the gun too fast.
We don't even have money yet.
Wow.
If my own cousin
won't even give me a
promotion and a 50 cent raise,
then I'm gonna have
to seriously reconsider
who my best friend is.
Who would you replace me with?
One of the regulars.
The only people
here that are regulars
are creepy Greg and Audrey.
Exactly.
Maybe I shouldn't
buy a bowling alley.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's nonsense, okay?
I know this place is
stuck in the 90s, but look...
if I've learned anything...
it's that people
want two things.
Titties and glow
in the dark bowling.
How are we going to afford that?
With your wallet money?
Ohh, no way.
This money's been claimed.
You get your own scam.
Who's that?
Amy.
She's been hunting me for weeks.
She's cute.
I don't poop in the pool.
What?
I don't poop
where I do business.
Why don't you just
say pee in the pool
and save everyone the headache?
It's not the same, okay?
Kids are always peeing in
the pool, sometimes even spit-
Okay, I can't do
this conversation.
Benny.
Amy.
What can I get for ya?
I'll get a red sangria
with three quarter ice
in a slim glass chilled.
With a lemon
twist and a salt rim, please.
We have Pepsi on ice.
I'll take whatever.
Did you wash these?
Ohh, that's what
I was forgetting.
No.
Benny.
Stop that.
Sorry about the wait.
You're interested
in the bowling alley?
Yes!
My dad used to own it.
You're Adam's boy.
Wow.
I remember when
you were this high.
How's your dad?
Dead.
Oh, I'm sorry to
hear that.
Your dad was
always very kind to me.
He helped me get back
on my feet
when my parents passed away.
Do you have a pre-approval
letter from the bank
for the business loan?
A what?
A pre-approval letter?
No, we are at step one.
Yes...
What's step one?
Step one.
Identifying a
need in the market.
People need bowling.
Boom!
We thought we'd set
up a meeting with you
and figure the rest out.
I probably can buy you
30 days with the seller
before they move on,
but that's it.
In that time, you're going
to need a down payment
and pre-approval from the bank.
How much do you
need for a down payment?
$20,000.
20 in 30 days?
A kidney is only worth ten
on the black market, girl.
30 days is perfect.
Uhh, uh...
We'll keep you in the loop.
Come on.
This popcorn is cold.
There's no butter.
The pop's flat
lid doesn't even fit.
Are you even listening to me?
I'm so sorry for our mistake.
Please, accept this gift card
for your next
movie experience, sir.
Adam.
Adam.
Is everything okay?
That guy just shit everywhere.
Come-
Is that.
You should take the
rest of the day off.
I hate my job.
I'm sorry.
Thanks for the match ladies!
What match?
Oh-oh yes, you're welcome.
Have I seen
that guy before somewhere.
That's it.
What happened now?
Are we in trouble?
People are disgusting!
Spit it out.
Someone shit all
over the washroom.
It was a poo-mageddon.
Ah, dude! Ugh...
You smell.
You need to
decontaminate and smudge.
What's this?
It's an eviction notice, Adam.
What are we going to do?
I've had it.
I'm broke, I'm hungry...
Something's
got to change.
But what?
We're two college dropouts,
what do you expect?
Yeah, but-but... look, look.
We used to be something though.
But now look at us.
We're just two losers.
Trying to
get by in life.
I'm sick of watching the world
from the sidelines, Benny.
Aren't you sick of
people laughing at us?
That's what people
like us do, Adam.
We just get by!
Why can't we just have, like,
a little piece of the dream?
I don't want to
have to worry about
making rent or...
if we have money for food.
It's okay.
We'll just get second jobs.
Benny, we pee in the
shower to save money!
I can't do this
by myself.
I need my best friend with me.
That's a lot of
money we need to find.
I know, but do you
want to get old and
look back on our
life and think...
What if?
You know what?
Okay.
You're right.
Let's find that 20k!
- Really?
- Yes!
- Ah! Ah! Okay.
- Yeah!
Oh oh, no!
You stink.
You need to shower.
Right. Right,
right, right.
Whoo hoo! Haha!
And here they come folks
blazing out of
that final corner.
It's neck and neck.
Oh! But wait.
Look at the Red River Rocket
flying down the straightaway.
The crowd is on their feet.
He's pulling ahead,
just inches away
from the competition.
Can anyone catch him?
No way!
There's the checkered flag!
Red River Rocket takes the win!
We're never going
to make those 20 Gs.
We got to start
thinking like my Mushum.
He always had ways
to make money quick.
You're right.
He was always super smart.
We should talk with him.
What's he up to now?
15 years in prison.
Okay, maybe not.
You got to think,
like...
what we're our ancestors doing?
You know, like,
You don't think
one of them
could have
started a business?
No.
Why?
Because they were too busy
surviving shady white people.
Ohh.
You know, we're supposed
to be the generation of hope.
I think it skipped us.
My Mushum always said
that there's three things
that you can
trade to make money
your time,
your knowledge, or money.
He forgot to mention in
prison there's one more.
What?
Your booty hole.
Can you be serious?
Okay.
What are we gonna do?
Bake Sale! Bake Sale!
Nah. You're a horrible cook.
How much money you got?
Uh...
Altogether, 50 bucks.
You?
75 if I drain my account.
Okay...
What are you getting at?
B - A - G - S.
Bags!
Who wants some bags?
Get your bags here!
Yeah.
Who needs jobs?
Why didn't we do this sooner?
Fake stuff is awesome!
Mushum always knows a guy.
Ha ha!
How much are we at?
Two Thousand!
What?!
Aha.
I'll go call and get more stuff.
Get your bags here!
Bags here!
Whoah.
Ma'am, may I interest you in a
high quality bag?
Hmm...
What else do you have?
We got everything.
Jewelry, watches, shoes.
I'll give you a good deal.
Really?
Yeah.
For a woman as
beautiful as yourself,
Absolutely.
You did not just
flash me the eyes
And then the badge.
You're going to
have to come with me.
That works perfectly.
That's great.
Yes, I will swing
by later
and I will pick the stuff up.
Thanks, dude.
Ha ha!
Benny?
Benny?
I didn't even
see it comin', okay?
Beautiful women
are my Kryptonite.
Do we still have the money?
No, I spend it all on your bail.
That's it!
I'm off women until we
get this bowling alley!
I don't think
that's your problem.
Oh, and we have another problem.
What?
Somebody else is trying
to buy the bowling alley.
Who?
Mary didn't give me a name.
She just gave me an address.
Here.
Where are you going?
I've got a meeting with Creator.
I'm sorry I don't have
any tobacco, Creator.
But...
I do have this nugg!
Maybe this nugg's a
little bit too much.
Ah.
Yeah.
Creator, why must you always
give us the hardest path?
I know I've told
some white lies.
I cheated once at poker.
And I cut in front of
an elder once at a feast.
But...
I'm turning a new leaf.
I promise.
I really mean it this time.
Come on.
Open up the door.
You're not allowed in this car
Till you go to the store,
get some tobacco
and do that right.
I don't need any
bad energy right now.
I just got out of jail.
Fine.
Is that the lady?
Heyah!
Yep.
Ah!
Sarah?
I wondered when you'd show up.
You were the one
trying to buy my
Dad's old bowling alley?
Why?
It's not about what I want.
It's about what I
want you not to have.
Are you still mad that
Adam's dad beat your dad
in the 1995
bowling championships?
He took everything from me!
It was the last frame
of the championship game.
A strike.
And my dad wins.
We would have it all.
Money. Glory.
Bitches!
What?
No.
Shut up!
My story.
It was the last time
I saw my father happy.
He was never
the same again.
He lost everything.
My mother left him.
The pain of losing
that game.
Avenge me.
Killed him.
I vowed, that day,
to avenge him.
12,255 days later,
the time has come.
I'm going to take your
daddy's little bowling alley,
tear it down!
And replace it with beautiful,
expensive condos.
How dare you
contribute to the
gentrification of
BIPOC communities.
Watch me!
What are we going to do Adam?
Heya!
I'll think of something.
Ahhhyaa!
Hey, Amy.
I just came to say...
Hi.
Hi, umm...
Amy.
We've been through this, right?
Playing hard to catch I see.
They always come
around, eventually.
I'm sorry to break hearts,
but I'm a woman
that cannot be caught.
That's what you think.
Now... get me-
A red sangria with all
the fixings, I know.
There you go.
You remembered.
Yeah, I guess.
Anything else?
Ah!
Ah! Holy.
God... she's in love with me.
You say that like
it's a bad thing.
Because it is.
She has, like, two cats.
That's one cat away
from being a crazy cat lady.
Aw, don't be so shallow.
She's super successful.
You'd be lucky to be
shacked up with her.
Oh yeah? Well if you're
so googly-eyed for her,
then why don't you
ask her out yourself?
She's, like, ten years
younger than me.
Oh yeah, that's right.
You're old.
Holy!
Look, maybe in a couple of
months I'll get back out there.
That's right!
Because right now,
we need to focus on
getting that bowling alley.
Right.
Which is why...
The Manitoba
Bowling Championships
are coming here this year.
Why?
I don't know.
Bowlerama Galaxy burned down
and Audrey convinced
them to do it here, I guess.
That seems sketch.
It makes sense if you
don't think about it.
Right.
We need to seriously
reconsider
joining the tournament
this year, okay?
Because the
prize is 30 G's, man.
- Woah!
- Yeah!
Yeah but, people fly in
from all around the country
to play in this tournament.
And last time we played,
we came in dead last.
That's because we
had a terrible team
and no coach.
We still have a
terrible team and no coach.
That's exactly
where you're wrong.
Because I know a guy.
Who?
Oh, you just wait.
Benny.
Where the hell is-
Shh shh shh.
Shhhh.
Is he breathing?
Doesn't look like it.
Go check.
No fuckin' way,
you go check.
Ah, best two out
of three.
Oh, come on.
What the hell do you want?
Calm down!
Tell him to put the bat down.
It's my bar.
Put down that cue.
Duke, we're not here to rob you.
We just need your help.
Kiss my ass.
I don't know you two.
Adam?
Hey.
Why don't you come on over here?
So I can kick your ass!
Ah! Adam, please.
Just put the cue down.
No!
Why did you bring me here?
Coming from my bar, eh?
Your old man took
all the prize money.
It wasn't good enough, was it?
There's more to this story.
Oh yeah?
Why don't you come on over
here and I'll beat it outta ya!
Whoa... Whoah!
Calm down. Calm down!
This was a
terrible idea, Benny.
Like it or not, he's the only
one who can help us right now.
Ha!
Never.
We need you to help us
win the bowling tournament.
Even from the grave,
your father messes with me.
Go, go, go!
I know you and my dad
never saw eye to eye
after he stole all the
championship money.
But I can't fix that.
And without you,
this is as good as it
gets for me and Benny.
We have 30 days
to get ready for the
Manitoba Bowling Championship
or we lose everything.
You two any good?
Well, I mean-
Yes!
Yes. We won the
provincial championships
a couple of years back.
We'll split the winnings
with you three ways?
Okay.
I'll think about it.
Now get the hell outta here!
Go, go go!
Is it supper time?
This better work.
Trust me.
Duke may be old and grumpy,
but the man knows how to bowl.
Are you stealing
my ketchups again?
No.
Empty your pockets.
I'm watching you two.
Benny.
What?
It's a harmless crime.
Hello?
All right, I'll do it.
But I want something
in return.
What?
My ex-wife.
She has my 1993
championship trophy.
I want it back.
I don't think we're going to-
Shh shh-
We'll do it.
Great.
She's on vacation to
the end of the week.
I'll text you the address.
Don't worry.
I've got a plan.
That was not a plan.
I thought that would work!
Ahhhh!
Oh yeah.
Mmm, baby. I missed you.
Oh yeah.
So...
Where did you find her?
In her basement,
collecting dust.
Ah, it's okay.
We're together again.
Yeah.
Ahhh. Hold on.
I'm gonna have to smudge
this place down when you leave.
Well, I don't even
know what that means.
Not a compliment.
Your mama called last night
and I sent her
straight to voicemail.
Shut your pie hole.
My mama's phone bills
in collections.
You leave her mama outta this.
Mamas ain't got
nothing to do with this.
Yeah.
Who's this?
Satan.
It's Sarah.
Oh, is this the fool who's
trying to help you
win the tournament?
Fool?
Hey. Just leave it.
Well, I'm just here to
drop off my entry form
and introduce you to Adriana.
The 2017 European
bowling champion.
Wie gehts?
That's such a dirty move
bringing in a euro champ!
Holy shit.
Well, I can...
because I'm rich.
Adriana here is going to
turn me
into a bowling machine.
So, say goodbye
to your last hope
and your daddy's bowling alley.
Do you want some tissue?
Excuse me.
Ahh, I can't stand her!
Listen up.
If you two want to
win the tournament,
you got to eat,
breathe, and live bowling.
No more distractions.
I'll do it.
Okay.
All right.
First things first.
You two...
are moving into the lanes.
What? No.
Hey.
This is a sacrifice
for the dream.
I thought you
wanted this.
I'm not sleeping in
no janitor's closet.
Don't worry he'll do it.
Good.
I'll be here first
thing in the morning
to start your training.
Okay.
What time?
Don't worry about it.
We will know what time.
That man right there...
He's our Messiah.
Look at him go.
We're in good hands.
What are the three main
principles of success?
Huh?
Wrong.
Argh. What?
Ow!
What the hell?
How do you drown out
the pressure in finals?
I don't know,
you foc-
Wrong!
You focus!
Wrong!
Okay, enough! Enough!
It's time to start training.
Okay, okay, okay.
I'll be right there.
I'll be right there.
I'll be right-
Now! Let's go.
C'mon, let's go.
Hop to it, mister.
What is this?
Trainin'.
There's no way I'm
being a sled dog for you.
Oh yes you are
because you are out of shape.
What? I'm in great shape.
Look at you.
You're all round and chubby.
No one's gonna
want to see you naked.
Nobody's gonna
want to see you naked!
Amy does.
Maybe she does,
but you'll never know
because you're scared.
I have never once been scared!
All right, shut up both of you.
Benny.
Quit wearing tighty whities
and go talk to the poor woman.
Adam.
You're training with me.
If you don't wanna
train my way,
then you ain't gonna train.
What are we doing?
Well you're gonna
grab those ropes and
pull my ass around the track.
That's it?
That's all I've come up with.
When did he start drinking?
Shut up, both of you.
Cut the chit chat.
Benny.
Beer me.
Adam!
Mushhh.
Benny, I am gonna kill you.
Don't be mad at me.
That man won the national
championship finals, did you?
You didn't.
Mush! Come on.
Yeah, that's enough.
Shut up.
Let's go.
Yeah, that's it.
How many laps?
How many laps?
This will not work
for bowling.
Mmm mmm.
It's really dumb, actually.
Where did you get that?
Under za seat.
That is disgusting.
I vas hungry,
we didn't stop anywhere.
Oh shit.
They're looking at us.
Did zay see us?
I don't know.
What was that?
My stomach hurts.
Well, of course it does.
I need to let it out.
You hold it.
I can't.
Adriana, you hold it.
I will send you back to
Europe
to your parents where
you can eat all the garbage
Or whatever you want!
No!
Ahh!
Holy mother of pearl.
Hey, baby.
Lookin' good.
Everything okay?
Today is a great day.
I just booked a part
in a movie.
Congrats.
What's the role?
I'm playing the
pervert in a bar.
It's one line.
Can I try it on you?
Oh, I think I'm okay.
Hey, baby.
Lookin' good.
Yup. Nailed it.
Right? That's what
the director said.
They said I was
born to play this part.
15 years of acting class
have led me to this moment.
Oh no.
Not today.
You're in the
presence of greatness.
Ah...
After you my lady.
Tequila first.
I take it?
Yeah?
Oh ho hoo!
Yeah!
You can bowl, kid...
but there's gonna be some
ringers at this tournament.
Then what do you suggest we do?
Need a tune up game.
With who?
Not with who.
We need to enter a tournament.
There's one this weekend.
How many people do we need?
Three.
Ahh!
Forget it.
I haven't bowled in forever.
Find someone else.
You're being crazy.
You get out there
and you frickin'
show us how it's done.
- Come on.
- Yeah!
Whoo!
Let's go.
Let's go Dukey.
Yeah!
Come on.
King Duke!
Kids want to see some bowlin'?
Show us how it's done, Dukey!
- Duke, Duke!
- Yeah!
I'm gonna show you
some fuckin' bowling.
Huh?
Uh, one more time.
One more time.
That was just a practice, right?
Warming up.
Shake those cobwebs off.
You got this legend!
He's gettin' started.
Ohh...
Maybe we should get a
third for this weekend.
- You know?
- Yeah, yeah.
Just... hang on.
Warmin' up.
Please, god.
Well we're gonna
be poor forever.
All right.
Can I top ya up?
Yeah.
Tough day?
Umm...
Tough week.
Not that you
would actually care.
Please don't read
into this too much,
but I've got a couple
of minutes to listen.
What, you don't have
to run back to be with...
Adam?
Nah.
Him and the old man got a
couple things to work out.
Whoo!
Ho ho ho!
Yeah!
Huh.
I seem to have forgotten
what I was mad about.
Happy to help.
Whoo hoo hoo!
Yeah.
How many strikes
has that been now?
Seven.
Whoo!
Okay, Duke!
Sign us up for that tournament.
Wow.
Should we warn them
about Greg's audition?
Nah.
Hey, baby.
Lookin' good!
Who the fuck are you?
Do you have to do
that in front of me?
A polished ball is a
lucky ball, my friend.
Take two steps over.
Who's up first?
The busted balls.
Who's bustin' balls?
It's going to be yours
in a couple of minutes.
Nobody...
Look who came crawling back
15 years later.
Beth?
Not so suave
after all this time.
I'm going to enjoy this.
Care to explain?
Baby mama drama?
Somethin' like that.
How many kids you got?
Ahhh...
What's that? Huh?
What's that mean?
It means I don't know, okay?
I know I got a few kids
here and there, but...
Let me bowl.
Oh.
All right.
Ha, ha! Strike!
Not even close.
Ah! No, no, no.
Sorry, can't sit here.
You got to go sit at
the little kids table.
Oh yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
Creator just called.
He says you're not
one of us anymore.
Sorry, bro.
You're up.
All right.
Let's go!
Walk in the room like a CEO.
I handle my biz
like a one man show.
I'm a boss and that
ain't gonna change.
Making moves with
a smile on my face.
Every time, 'cause
here we on a roll.
Livin' life
feels good on top.
We winnin' and we
ain't gonna stop.
Has five-pin fallen so far?
Don't underestimate those kids.
They're still going.
Are you seeing this?
Yeah, those are the puffer kids.
They do this every time.
I got us something
special for the final.
What?!
They gave me the wrong shirts.
What the fuck is this?
I'm not wearing that.
Just trying to
do something nice.
What are you
doing spending money?
Relax.
It's my wallet money.
Wallet money?
Don't ask.
Put your uniforms on.
Hey, let's go.
We're waiting.
What's with these
grumpy ass kids?
What did you say, old man?
Old Man?!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy, they're kids.
All right, huddle up.
Okay.
We can beat these guys.
We just have to play smart,
and remember what we practiced.
We barely practiced.
I dragged you
around drunk in a sled.
As practiced.
Break. Break. Break.
Let's go, Benny.
Let's go.
All right Benny,
you got this.
You can do this.
You can do this.
Yeah!
Yes!
Whoo!
Chasin' the moon
on a summer night.
We were so strong.
Whoo!
Always standing up
for what was right.
I don't recognize,
Yeah!
the world we're
all livin' in.
Yeah buddy!
Don't you think it's time
for love to rule again.
High time.
So turn this page.
High time.
Baby, it's high time
for a change.
High time.
Yeah!
Whoo!
Ah yeah!
Whoo!
High time.
Baby reap what you sow.
It's about time
for a change.
Okay.
Good.
He's tied it up.
Just has to
get this last pin,
and the tournament is ours.
Okay.
We won.
We won bro.
Let's go.
Bro, we won.
What happened?
It's okay.
Their third was sick.
Just let them have it.
No, it's not okay.
Why not?
What do you mean?
You two wanna win,
but you don't have the
backbone for what it takes.
You're just a waste of time.
Like your old fuckin' man.
Duke.
Just save it.
Duke, come on-
Just let him be, okay?
I would have done
the exact same thing.
We were so close.
It's not over yet.
We still have the tournament.
Well... without Duke...
things are looking
pretty slim for us.
I just need some time to
think and figure it out.
Well, I hope you come up
with something quick,
because...
we're running out of time.
Hey, Adam.
It's Mary.
Checking in with how
the loan is coming along.
Let me know if I can help.
These things can be
tricky your first time.
I won't be cheap this time.
Creator...
I'm really gonna need
your help on this one.
Well, I'll give
you props.
The inside looks a lot
better than the outside does.
Yeah, well we're closed.
Yeah, I'm not here
for your moldy beer.
Well then leave.
My name is Sarah. I-
Yeah, I know you are.
What do you want?
I'm here to make
a deal with you.
And why would I do that?
Because if you agree,
I'll give you enough money.
You won't think twice about it.
I'm listening.
Make sure Adam doesn't
win this tournament.
Yeah, well I
stopped helping him.
Well go back and
guarantee he doesn't win.
Look, don't be stupid.
I'm going to beat Adam.
You can at least get
something out of it.
Oh.
Hello.
Hello?
Hello?
Vanilla Soy?
What the?
Amy...
I'm gonna have to kick you
out I'm closing the place up.
I know.
You can come
back in the morning.
Now, why would I
want to do that?
When it's finally just...
the two of us?
I'm so in to this.
Benny!
Now, who's speechless?
I'm not the one laying there
like a cheesy keemooch.
I'm going to enjoy this.
Benny, just make it
quick and painless.
You got this!
Adam! Eh, buddy.
Not gonna make
it boring this week.
No no no no...
Adam.
Hey.
Things are different this time.
I'm going to have
to bail on our plans.
No...
Got to be way more firm.
Listen, here you fu-
Hello!
I'm in here.
You seem happy.
I'm always this happy.
Awe, not like this.
Why are you home so late?
I got in a little practice
before a league game this week.
Oh nice.
Why do you smell nice?
Why are you interrogating me?
You're seeing somebody,
aren't you?
Don't lie.
Ah ah ah!
It's Amy, isn't it?
No it's-
- It's not Am- ugh.
Oh you did too.
Playing hard to catch.
I knew she would
one day break you.
Okay, there's no easy
way to tell you this, but...
I'm not gonna make it
to the league this week.
Why?
I've got a date.
Well, first off,
congratulations.
And secondly,
absolutely not.
There are six days in the week
and you had to choose the one
day that we have a league game?
It's the only day
she's available this week.
Then go next week.
You made a promise to me at
the beginning of the season,
and well I thought that
meant something, but...
Okay, what happened to all the,
"good for you!"
and "She's a catch!" stuff?
That was before
she was ruining our dreams!
You can practice
without me this week.
It is not a big deal!
You know what?
That is not the
promise you made to me.
Men have feelings
too you monster!
Oh, come on! It's one week.
That's how it starts.
And then next she's
taking away nacho nights.
And then you two
will be all shacked up.
And then poor Adam will be just
left out on the streets!
Adam, you're overreacting.
Am I, Benny?
I'm 32 years old.
And I don't even
have a fucking door.
Get on. Get on.
On this rollercoaster.
Stay and hold on.
To the latest trend.
Get on. Get on.
On this rollercoaster.
Stay and hold on.
To the latest trend.
Get on. Get on.
We're poetry in motion.
With the latest trends.
Sometimes we try
to find the words.
We try to make it,
but every time
we're lead astray.
We'll lend your soul
for what it's worth.
We know what's out there,
but now it's
time to break away.
So get on.
We're on the road
to the city lights.
We're on the road and
we'll see you some day.
We're on our way
moving out of sight.
We're on our way
and we'll see you soon.
We're on the road
to the city lights.
Whoo!
Amy...
I love you, baby.
Whoo!
Amy, the love of my life.
We're on our way and
we'll see you some day.
Let me explain.
Look, I've seen a
lot of things in my day,
but a grown woman
singing in the bathroom
with the toilet scrubber?
What's her name?
Amy.
Like, Amy... Amy?
- Yeah.
- Wow.
Good for her.
She finally broke you down, eh?
I don't know what she
sees in you, but good for her.
Wait, what?
I'm a catch.
That's a bit of a stretch.
How am I not a catch?
For starters,
you're getting evicted.
How do you know about that?
Because I live in a bathroom
and I hear everything
that goes on around here.
Well, I've got charm.
Charm doesn't pay the bills.
I can change.
That's what they all say.
Carter!
Yo.
Curry.
Whoo...
Awww, c'mon.
Best two out of three,
best two out of three.
And he steps back.
Kobe!
Not in my house.
Try that again.
Not in my house!
Eww!
What is that?
Is that a condom!?
Get it off, get it off!
Get it off!
We're closed for cleaning
be a couple more minutes.
I don't know why we didn't just
go to the
movie theatre for free.
These were, like, 30 bucks.
Who has that kind
of money right now?
What happened to
your wallet money?
Ahh!
Shit it was closed.
My burrito!
That's it.
All right, listen.
I know I messed up,
but I can fix this.
It's too late.
We'll do it right this time.
Bullshit.
My back still hurts
from sleeping on that cot.
We'll, train twice a day.
Just like how me and
your old man used to do.
What changed?
Nothing I uh...
You're going to stop
messing with Adam and Benny!
Who are you?
That doesn't matter!
I came to my senses.
Fine.
Aha.
What?
You done messed up.
You owe me a sumo-size burrito!
It wasn't my fault.
I mean who the
hell throws a burrito?
Hoo-hahhh-uhhh!
We got three days to get you
in the best shape your life.
Uh, that does not
seem like enough time.
You're right.
Which is why I
brought in the good stuff.
Okay, I've got your basic
beta blockers, propanol,
metaprolol, atenaloll.
I'm not doing any steroids.
Well, this tournament
doesn't piss test,
so that's a loophole
that we can use.
Whip out your
butt cheeks.
Ah!
Why are you shaking it?
I never done this before.
It's harder than it looks.
Hurry up!
Ah!
It's go time.
Come on.
Show me you wanna win.
Because if you don't,
you can get the hell out!
Yez. Every zingle
push is a strike.
Focus.
That's it.
You want to win?
You got to give
it all you've got.
Izolate the muscle.
Yes, izolate.
Izolate.
Crazy schemes
way out of my control.
What's the matter with you.
I got to thinkin'
it was fantasy.
Faster, faster, faster!
Faster!
One more. Excellent.
Two.
I know I'm set for glory.
Ahhh!
No one's gonna tell me
how I got to do it right.
I'm gonna shine
bright tonight.
Hiyah!
Nothing's gonna stop me now.
It's my story.
And no one's gonna tell
me how I got to do it right.
I'm gonna shine
bright tonight.
Good.
All we've got to do is win.
Can't wait to see the
look on Sarah's face.
Adam?
You alive?
How are you feeling
there, kid?
Oh, better.
Doctor said I had
extreme exhaustion.
They pumped me full of
fluids and said I had to rest.
Do you need anything
while you're here?
Oh, no, no.
I'm fine.
But I think we
have bigger problems.
I think I crushed my
wrist when I fainted.
Doc's coming to take
a look now.
Hello, Adam.
This is a pretty
simple procedure.
Are you all right having
everybody in the room?
Yeah. It's okay.
Okay.
Well, then let's get
you to hop off that bed
and drop your drawers for me.
What? No, wait.
No, I just want you to
take a look at my wrist.
Haw haw, oh yoo!
He's about to put his
finger up your bumhole.
Quiet.
It's not that bad.
He's right.
It's not that bad.
It's very simple.
Just needs you to take a
deep breath and try to relax.
We could hold him
down for you, doc?
That shouldn't be necessary.
Well, it would help.
If I'm going to be honest
about past experiences.
Nobody is holding me down.
I just want you to
take a look at my wrist.
Are ya sure?
I'm all prepped up over here.
Yes!
Wait...
- Is this room 203?
- No!
You just dodged a bullet.
Look at those fingers.
Those things are girthy, bro.
Let's not mention
this to anyone, all right?
Kind of on thin ice around here.
Ew.
Let me see what's
going on here.
Ah!
Don't be a baby.
That's not broken.
That's a severe sprain.
Give it to me straight, doc.
How long is he gonna be out for?
Three or four weeks.
Three or four weeks?
We need them this weekend.
The body is not
a machine, okay?
He needs time to heal.
We can try a brace.
Will that take away the pain?
Oh! No.
Look, I'll give you
something for the pain,
but I'll be honest,
whatever you had
planned for this weekend.
Probably not gonna happen.
Thanks, doc.
I don't know
where it's going.
But it feels like the end.
When the night is falling
and she comes calling.
But I can pretend.
'Cause she knows I'm a man.
She knows how to move me.
She knows that you care.
And she wants to use me.
She looks in my eyes.
And I feel
like a past time.
I can't resist.
Such a good
looking first time.
I get so hot.
My heart hits a flat line.
I can't get enough.
'Cause it feels
like the last time.
Oh hey, kid.
Where's Benny?
She's out with her lady.
Hmm.
What about you?
Not really the dating type.
Hey, everyone's
looking for somethin'.
Just not everyone's
looking for the same thing.
What are you looking for?
Peace with my past.
I, uh...
haven't been the best
father to a bunch of my kids.
You'll figure something out.
You know, that's what I've
always admired about your dad.
He used to make me so mad.
'Cause he would ditch me because
he wanted to be with you.
But I get it now.
For what it's worth,
I'm really sorry
my dad stole
that money from you.
I won't hold that against you.
You know, me and your dad
were just like you and Benny.
I remember this time we blew
ourselves up with the barbecue.
And we left the
propane running too long.
And, well, when we
went to go light it,
boom!
When I look over,
well... your dad doesn't
have any eyebrows.
Yeah, the poor bastard had
to go on a date like that.
I don't think she ever
called him back either.
Hey, Duke...
Thanks for helping us out.
Just beat that Sarah.
I wanna see the look on
her face when she loses.
I'd really like that too.
Good.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Don't stay up late.
Wie Gehts.
By the end of the day,
your dad's place is all mine.
You're a discount
fortune teller.
You're finished,
you hear me?
I'm going to embarrass you.
You embarrass yourself!
Aw hey, Benny.
Your mama says, hi.
You leave my mama alone!
You leave her mama out of this.
I'll talk about anybody's mama!
Ah! My chest.
- Duke!
- Let's go.
It's okay, buddy. It's okay.
You're through!
I'm taking everything!
You are the meanest
person I know!
It's okay. It's okay.
Come on.
Yeah. Here.
Here, just sit down, sit down.
You got this.
You got this.
I'm fine.
Benny, call the doctor, now!
I'm fine.
Look, no. It's over.
It's over.
Don't you dare.
It's done.
We can't do this.
You're going to
get back out there.
No.
Talk some sense into him.
He's right.
Okay.
All right,
let me see some water.
Okay, I'll go get you some.
Duke, I-
I can't do this.
I can't go out
there with you like this.
Don't you fucking dare.
You've worked too
hard to give this up.
You're going to go kick her ass.
Okay, I'll do this for you.
Do this for yourself.
For you.
Go on.
Okay.
But, Duke, Duke, Duke...
you're going to be okay?
Go!
You got this.
This is it, Adam.
Everything we've worked for
is ours for the taking.
You're the man.
I'm the man.
Louder!
I'm the man!
You're the man!
I'm the man!
Welcome to the 2024
Manitoba Bowling Championships,
where 16 teams from
all around the country
compete for the
$30,000 grand prize.
Let's check in
with our opening match.
It's the Bowl Cuts
versus Incredibowls.
Yeah!
Whoo hoo!
Woo!
Yes!
Yeah!
Oh ho ho hooo!
Yes!
Yeah!
Better luck next time.
Now let's check in
with our betting favorites,
Supreme Strikers!
Who are scorching every
opponent along the way.
How's the wrist holding up?
It's sore.
Okay.
Put this on.
It'll numb the pain.
Sarah's keeping pace with us.
Only two more rounds to go.
Okay.
Benny... go get 'em.
Strike!
Ahhh...
Yeah!
Whoooo-hah-hah!
Bring me Adam!
It's not who you roll,
but how you roll.
And that's what we're
going to see tonight.
Here, for the finals!
Introducing a team who
started from the bottom,
and the Supreme Strikers
who led a path of destruction
that bulldozed their
way to the finals!
I didn't think we were
all the way at the bottom?
Oh no.
We totally were, look.
That's the bottom.
And that's us.
Bowlers...
Take your places!
Go get 'em!
Oh!
You know, they're
giving us ten frames, but...
I only need five to beat you.
I'm really going to enjoy this.
Oh, I'm going to
do more than that.
So...
take...
that.
It's gonna be a short game.
Yeah! Yeah!
Don't get used to
sitting for too long.
Yeah.
Ow!
Oh!
It's okay.
Livin' to the fast
point in time.
Sold your soul
for rock and roll.
Defy the odds
and just let it go.
Yes!
Pedal's full of metal.
C'mon let's go.
Be the ball.
Rock and roll.
Whooo!
On top of the world,
can't kick me down.
Down, down, down.
We'll rise to it all,
have no doubt.
No, no, no, no.
On top of the world
can't kick me down.
Ahhh.
Come on!
We'll rise to it all,
have no doubt.
Ohhh!
It's a blessed time,
ladies and gentlemen.
Aho!
Whooo!
Yes!
On top of the world,
can't kick me down.
Strike!
We'll rise to it all,
have no doubt.
No, no, no, no.
On top of the world,
can't kick me down.
Whoo!
Whoo hoo!
Come on!
I told you do better than that!
This is the
final frame
of a three-game set,
and we're all tied up.
This one's for you, Dad.
Oh!
A chop off.
If Adam hits a strike,
they win it all.
Oh my god!
Can you believe it?
I did it, I did it!
On behalf of the
Manitoba Bowling Championship
I want to present you
with this cheque for $30,000!
Ahhh!
Ha ha ha!
Hey, what's with the new outfit?
Oh, I just got a new role.
I'm on fire.
Yeah buddy!
Whoo!
We did it!
I don't have to get a new job!
Mary! Let's sign that paperwork.
Make it rain!
That's not a real...
Never mind.
Just come see me on Monday.
Yeah.
I mean, you think
they'd get a better trophy
for the tournament,
but it's fine.
It's pretty cool.
Amy, Amy!
We won.
You know, I totally
knew she liked you,
but she just stubborn.
Oh, I know.
I almost went on a
date with another guy.
What?
Kidding...
Amy...
Oh. Hey, hey.
Good game.
Oh suck it, Junior.
This isn't over.
I paid you to win
this thing for me.
Get in the car!
Entschuldigung, entschuldigung.
Adriana, I told you I
don't speak European!
Yeah, we did it.
Ha ha ha!
Yeah!
Hey... where's Duke?
Is he okay?
Thank you for
joining us here today.
It has been a long
journey to get here.
I'd like to invite the guest
of honor to the front, please.
I do just want
to thank you all for
joining us today.
Ever since my heart attack,
I've had a uh...
I got a new sense of direction.
So before we start the wedding,
there's a couple of things
I wanna get off my chest.
Some of you know
me as dad, and...
most of you know me
as uh... some dude.
But after doing some research...
well...
turns out you're all my kids.
Except for Amy and Adam.
Whooahh!
Ha ha haa!
That's your dad!
Ha hah!
One time.
Still they ask the question.
What mainstream MC could
take raw beats and bless him.
I tried to reply,
but I just couldn't see.
Another man alive who
could kick it like me.
Confidence for my lips.
I don't have step.
Evil in my residence.
Exercise my best.
Temperament is chillin'
but don't take me for soft.
For many, your my sack.
Gotta turn my
head and cough.
Cover my mouth 'cause
nothin' spread my disease.
From the school
of hard knocks
Adam!
What?
I found out what
kind of actor Greg is.
Oh, come on.
We got a lot of work to do.
Trust me.
It'll be worth it.
Pizza delivery.
Oh no...
I don't have any money,
Mr. Pizza Delivery man.
However, will I pay you?
Oh I think I know how.
Not surprised
in the slightest.
Welcome, kid's
get your coat.
Ya'll can't cope.
I'm the king of the castle.
Feed me lines
with jokers.
So give me a halter.
Listen to the lyricists,
learn from the best.
Don't mean you're a man 'cause
there's hair on your chest.
Redeem your lyrics
can cause gingivitis.
While mine show
side effects of elephantiasis.
Oh yeah.
If you got soul,
Raise your right fist,
let everybody know.
Give us all you got
don't fight the feelin'.
Hip hop is in the building.
