How I Met Your Father (2022) s02e11 Episode Script
Daddy
1
Okay. Which one of these says
"sexy weekend away
with my sexy boyfriend
at his sexy country house?" Left or right?
Girl, just be naked.
God, you're cool.
I'm so excited.
I finally found
an amazing, uncomplicated guy?
Everything about
this relationship is normal.
I was wrong.
So, what's the latest with Swish?
You still engaged to your child groom?
Currently, yes,
but I give it 24 hours before
he gets cold feet and calls it off.
She was wrong.
He's probably in his dorm right now
figuring out how to let me down gently.
I need you to send me
Grandma's engagement ring.
Very, very wrong.
Wonderful news!
It's Lost and Found Day.
Really? The box is full already?
Yes. Lost and Found Day rules!
Last time, I got a Sheryl Crow cassette,
a packet of Fun Dip, and a muzzle.
Rachel and I had a wild night.
Ooh! Shotgun first pick!
Uh, no. The order is going to be decided
by our brand new
order hopper!
The first pick is
Mm
- Jesse.
- Woo!
How did that happen?
I rigged this thing with 16 Charlie balls.
Alright
Mm Ah!
Whoa! This is awesome!
"To my darling grandson."
Ha, ha! Not anymore!
Suck it, grandson.
The next pick is
Mm
- Valentina. What have I done here?
- Yes!
Snip and Save:
A Complete Guide to Home Haircuts.
Wow. That is so sad.
Wait, actually, that's mine.
I've been doing whatever
I can to cut back.
Get it? Cut back? Huh?
Sweetie, we get it.
- Do you need to borrow money?
- Whatever. Hand it over.
No way! Per the Lost and Found Day
rules, it's mine now.
Please. I need it back.
Here, I-I'll trade you the watch.
Why would you trade
a nice watch for a book
that should be a YouTube video?
Hm. There must be something
special about this book.
Yeah! There is. Th-The author's
extremely nuanced approach to layering.
Yeah, you're being weird.
You can't have it!
Damn it, Valentina!
Fine. I'd like to challenge you
for the book.
Ooh! We haven't had a challenge
since that infamous dance-off
for that police badge.
I wormed my way onto a lot
of crime scenes that night.
Ding, ding!
Our flight to Los Angeles
is ready for departure.
Hey, yo, can I lay on that?
Oh. Um, sure.
- Excuse me?
- Oh, yeah, no selfies.
I'm just trying to live my life over here.
Oh, I wasn't trying to
What, are you famous?
Bro. I'm Li'l Toasty. The rapper.
Dude, of course, you are. I was just
I'm sorry.
I was just trying to play it cool.
You mind switching seats with me?
I mean, a rapper of your caliber
should not be sitting in the middle seat.
Blessings.
Slide under.
And I'm getting a lap dance.
Can I have your attention?
We'd like to point out
Thank you. You're a lifesaver.
No problem.
Did you know who he is?
Sadly, I do.
My nephew's on a bad path.
What's in LA?
- Uh, my wife lives there. You?
- Hm.
Uh, my boyfriend lives there.
Long distance, am I right?
- You are.
- Hm
- Hey, yo, can I lay on that?
- No!
Mm Delicious.
I'm getting notes of
not from Trader Joe's.
You know what else I got?
Homemade pigs in a blanket
and an actual blanket,
so we can be
pigs in a blanket
while we eat pigs in a blanket.
I have never found being
called a pig so romantic.
Hey, you wanna pick a record?
Jane's Addiction!
I got to see them play
the very first Lollapalooza.
'91, middle of Arizona,
about a thousand degrees.
You know, I met your father
at a Jane's Addiction concert.
At the first-ever Lollapalooza
back in 1991.
So my boyfriend was at the same concert
where my mom conceived me.
That didn't mean he was my dad.
I remember my buddy Chip.
He got us backstage that night.
Man, it's so cool
to see a band from behind.
I got invited backstage that night.
You think Dave Navarro
looks good from the front,
you should see him from behind, eh?
Or maybe I've been mackin' on my daddy.
- Another dog?
- Oh.
Oh! My dad! My bad. My bad.
It's okay, sweetie.
- Open your mouth.
- No! Why? What are you gonna do?
I was gonna feed you this mini quiche.
Oh. Ah
What?
Why does your apron say "daddy"?
'Cause I'm the daddy of the kitchen.
Cute. Cute.
You know, I can't stop thinking about
how handsome you must have
been back at Lollapalooza.
Do you have any old pictures?
Uh Lemme think about it. Oh.
Here's one of me in 1990
with my beautiful mom.
Oh, no.
Do you have any photos
specifically from Lollapalooza?
Gotta have an old photo album
around here somewhere.
Gotta promise not to make fun of my hair.
No judgment.
Well, I was being conceived in 1991,
so I didn't even have any hair!
We have the same snort.
What are the odds?
Pretty slim, Robert. Pretty slim.
Ladies and gentlemen, you have joined us
for a very special occasion
here at Pemberton's.
It's Lost and Found Day,
Challenge Edition!
Huh? Huh?
Um, how long is this gonna take?
'Cause we're on a first date.
The best first date
of your goddamn life!
Our friends Jesse and Valentina
are going to be competing
for this guide to self-haircuts.
How, you ask?
By assembling outfits
using only items
from the Lost and Found box!
What?!
I should have listened
to the Yelp reviews.
They all said this place was very weird.
It really is, my man. It really is.
Now, let's all honk for the hunk
with the junk in his trunk.
I am, of course,
talking about Jesse Walker!
Wow!
Jesse really is giving us Matrix- chic
in his leather trench.
Send your thoughts
and prayers to my eyeballs
because they are dead from this fit.
Yes! Eight!
Can we really not get a drink
until after this is over
That's correct. Now, be quiet.
Next on the runway,
we have the beautiful Valentina Morales!
- Ooh
- Wow. Valentina seems to be wearing
a janitor's uniform lost
by somebody named Gerald.
Are you freakin' kidding me?!
How does it fit her so well?!
I've seen you around the bar
and I had this made for you.
It's your exact measurements.
Yeah, I'm not wearing this, bro.
- Ellen?
- One word. Transcendent.
- Damn it!
- She's a 10. Yes!
This lame-ass book is all mine.
You know what else sucks
about long-distance relationships?
Two time zones.
We are one country.
We shouldn't have two time zones.
We don't. We have three.
We might even have four.
America's a mess.
Point is, it sucks.
Totally! Totally.
But more than that,
it's just hard to feel close.
- You know?
- Yeah.
I mean, Hannah and I are doing our best
but this is not how I pictured
our first year of marriage.
It's really nice to talk
to someone who gets it.
Yeah, it is.
Hey, if y'all aren't gonna
watch a movie, can you throw
Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish
on both your screens for your boy?
I'm trying to do this shit IMAX-style.
That's my buddy Garlic.
You'll never guess how
he got that nickname.
Bet I could, Robert.
Uh, where's the Lollapalooza pic?
I found it.
Do you mind going downstairs
and opening another bottle of wine?
I'd love to freshen up.
Oh, yeah. Maybe make a fire?
Came out a little more paternal
than I would have liked.
God Oh, my God
Too much? Nah
Ah
Babe!
So, I dusted the chunks
of pergola off my sweater,
jumped in my rental car,
and called my mom.
Mom! Please call me back!
I think I'm dating my dad!
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Oh god.
Dude.
Listen! I'm so sorry. I
- Me first.
- Huh?
My name is Barney Stinson,
and I am a recovering serial womanizer.
We are likely speaking today
because you are a woman
I once concocted an elaborate scheme
to have sex with.
I fully understand why you
have exacted revenge on me,
and I apologize if I ever,
A, pretended to be a mannequin
that came to life
and made you fall in love with me.
B, hired a makeup team to transform me
into a time-traveling old man
and told you that the only way
to stop global warming
was to sleep with young me.
C, told you I was Justin Hemsworth,
the long-lost eldest Hemsworth brother
Oh my god, stop talking.
Why do I have a feeling you have, like,
50 more creepy things on that list?
Fifty?
There's, like, hundreds.
I did not crash into you to
exact revenge.
We've never met.
I'm just a new driver
in the middle of
the worst night of my life.
I guess I would have recognized
the three of you if we had met.
What?
You and your boobs.
What?! What happened?!
My STD. Shock therapy device.
It's this experimental new
electroshock treatment for guys like me.
This sucker is programed
with 10,000 problematic words and phrases.
If I utter one of them, it blasts me
with enough electricity
to power Staten Island.
Whoa. And that really works?
Uh, yeah.
When I first saw you, I wanted to say,
"You rear-ended me,
so how about I rear-end you?"
But I didn't.
Well, uh, fun chat.
What do you say
I Venmo you for the damage?
What do you think's fair?
Like, 30 40 bucks?
Okay, 50! Final offer!
Honey, my left shoelace cost $50.
This is a new low.
First, I find out I'm dating my maybe dad,
and now I'm gonna go bankrupt
because I crashed into
the fanciest perv in New York.
I'm sorry. You just found out you're
maybe dating your maybe what? Who? What?
It's a long story.
How about you tell me
your twisted tale of
daughter-daddy lust and intrigue,
and if your story is juicy enough,
the car is on me.
Really?
That's a pretty weird challenge.
If there's one thing
you should know about me,
it's that I love a weird challenge.
Okay.
So, my friend and I,
we went to this party.
- Okay.
- And I met a chef
Yeah, you did.
Come on!
Thank you for meeting me here.
Stop being weird. We literally
just walked into another room.
This receipt has a love song
written on it.
About Sophie.
- Yeah.
- When did you write it?
Oh god, a long, long time ago.
I barely remember.
Oh, you wrote it last week.
Same day you bought three
extra-extra-large shirts at Gap Kids.
Kids' clothes are just cheaper, okay?
And, yes, I wrote it last week.
And, yes,
I still have feelings for Sophie.
- What are you gonna do?
- Nothing.
I mean, there was a minute there
where I thought about telling her,
but then she got with Robert,
and I realized it's for the best.
I mean, it was a complete disaster
the first time around.
It would probably be a disaster again,
and I just need to move on.
So, let's just both forget
you ever found that song.
Like Sid did when
he found my poem about
about Hillary Clinton.
Deal.
Thank you.
Then I jumped in my rental car,
called my mom,
and then crashed into you.
Oh, thank God!
"That's not your dad in the picture.
I did buy ecstasy from him, though. Yum."
She sounds fun.
She is.
Oh my god, that's so great.
He's not my dad!
He's just another great guy
that I ran away from
because I'm a complete mess. Woo.
When you were little,
who did you picture
when you were imagining him?
Bryan Cranston.
From Malcolm in the Middle.
Not Breaking Bad.
I couldn't even watch that.
I didn't wanna see my dad cooking meth.
For me, it was Bob Barker.
I always dreamed that one day,
he'd pull up outside my school,
and we'd go spay and neuter pets together.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
So, you don't know your dad either?
Actually, now I do.
A great friend of mine
lost his father a while back.
And so, I decided to track down
my own before it was too late.
Did you ever think about finding yours?
Of course.
But then, I worry that
he's gonna be a criminal.
Or a drunk.
- Or a prop comic.
- Ew.
And then other times, I think that he
could be everything
that's ever been missing from my life
and completely transform me
into the best version
of myself that I could be.
Fix your abandonment issues,
your commitment issues,
your "not seeing women
as human being" issues.
- Did your dad do all of that for you?
- Ha.
No. Uh,
actually, a few years back,
a really amazing girl came into my life.
My daughter Ellie.
She is the best thing that ever
happened to an idiot like me.
The moment I saw her, I knew
I had to change.
Don't get me wrong.
My dad is great.
He's kind and funny,
and watching the two of them
together, it just
You get it.
Yeah.
Look, if you ever do decide
to track down your dad,
it probably won't fix all your problems.
But, if you get lucky, like I did,
could be great.
So was my story juicy enough for you,
or are you gonna make me pay?
You're off the hook.
You don't have to Venmo me anything.
Or, as my past self used to say,
you don't have to Ven-hoe me any
I said past self!
- Hey, baby.
- Hey.
Mm!
- How was your flight?
- Uh, you know, the usual.
You hungry? I ordered from
that Thai place that you love.
And I got two mango sticky rices this time
because I learned from my mistakes.
Hey.
Robert!
What are you doing here?
I'm looking for you
to make sure you're okay
'cause you jumped out the window
and fled my house.
Oh. Right.
The picture you showed me
from Lollapalooza,
the woman that you had
your arm around is my mom.
- What?
- Yeah, and I briefly spiraled,
thinking that you were my dad
I've never met.
Because I was actually conceived
at that concert.
- What?
- Yeah. Don't worry! You're not.
Yeah, I know.
I was on a celibacy kick back then.
The '90s were a weird time.
- That's your mom?
- Yeah.
Okay, we didn't sleep together,
but we kissed.
- You did?
- And did other stuff.
You did?
- A lot of other stuff.
- Oh! Why didn't she tell me that?
Ugh, didn't see this text.
"He was on some lame celibacy thing,
so we just explored each other's bodies
with our hands and our mouth"
Yeah. I told you it was a weird time.
But, Sophie, it was years ago.
Decades.
Three decades.
We could come back from this.
We can totally come back from this.
- We can't come back from this!
- We can't come back from this.
Goodbye, Robert.
Goodbye, Sophie.
Say hi to your mom for me.
Ai!
- Hi.
- Hi!
I broke up with Robert.
Wait, what happened?
I don't even know where to begin.
Maybe I'll start with
I think I wanna find my dad.
- What?
- Wow.
Then, we will help you find him.
Thanks.
Did I miss Lost and Found Day?
Don't worry. That box will be
full again before you know it.
Good!
Look at us.
A newly single woman,
her engaged best friend
I am not really engaged.
Yo, this centerpiece is fire.
She was 100% engaged!
Can we please get some food?
I'm starving.
- Yes.
- Robert was supposed to make us dinner,
and then I realized
he was maybe my dad.
- What?
- You realized he was maybe your dad?
Wait! Wait for me!
Okay. Which one of these says
"sexy weekend away
with my sexy boyfriend
at his sexy country house?" Left or right?
Girl, just be naked.
God, you're cool.
I'm so excited.
I finally found
an amazing, uncomplicated guy?

Currently, yes,
but I give it 24 hours before

I need you to send me

Please. I need it back.

Uh, my boyfriend lives there.
Long distance, am I right?

I mean, it was a complete disaster
the first time around.
It would probably be a disaster again,
and I just need to move on.
So, let's just both forget
you ever found that song.
Like Sid did when
he found my poem about
about Hillary Clinton.
Deal.
Thank you.
Then I jumped in my rental car,
called my mom,
and then crashed into you.
Oh, thank God!
"That's not your dad in the picture.
I did buy ecstasy from him, though. Yum."
She sounds fun.
She is.
Oh my god, that's so great.
He's not my dad!
He's just another great guy
that I ran away from
because I'm a complete mess. Woo.
When you were little,
who did you picture
when you were imagining him?
Bryan Cranston.
From Malcolm in the Middle.
Not Breaking Bad.
I couldn't even watch that.
I didn't wanna see my dad cooking meth.
For me, it was Bob Barker.
I always dreamed that one day,
he'd pull up outside my school,
and we'd go spay and neuter pets together.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
So, you don't know your dad either?
Actually, now I do.
A great friend of mine
lost his father a while back.
And so, I decided to track down
my own before it was too late.
Did you ever think about finding yours?
Of course.
But then, I worry that
he's gonna be a criminal.
Or a drunk.
- Or a prop comic.
- Ew.
And then other times, I think that he
could be everything
that's ever been missing from my life
and completely transform me
into the best version
of myself that I could be.
Fix your abandonment issues,
your commitment issues,
your "not seeing women
as human being" issues.
- Did your dad do all of that for you?
- Ha.
No. Uh,
actually, a few years back,
a really amazing girl came into my life.
My daughter Ellie.
She is the best thing that ever
happened to an idiot like me.
The moment I saw her, I knew
I had to change.
Don't get me wrong.
My dad is great.
He's kind and funny,
and watching the two of them
together, it just
You get it.
Yeah.
Look, if you ever do decide
to track down your dad,
it probably won't fix all your problems.
But, if you get lucky, like I did,
could be great.
So was my story juicy enough for you,
or are you gonna make me pay?
You're off the hook.
You don't have to Venmo me anything.
Or, as my past self used to say,
you don't have to Ven-hoe me any
I said past self!
- Hey, baby.
- Hey.
Mm!
- How was your flight?
- Uh, you know, the usual.
You hungry? I ordered from
that Thai place that you love.
And I got two mango sticky rices this time
because I learned from my mistakes.
Hey.
Robert!
What are you doing here?
I'm looking for you
to make sure you're okay
'cause you jumped out the window
and fled my house.
Oh. Right.
The picture you showed me
from Lollapalooza,
the woman that you had
your arm around is my mom.
- What?
- Yeah, and I briefly spiraled,
thinking that you were my dad
I've never met.
Because I was actually conceived
at that concert.
- What?
- Yeah. Don't worry! You're not.
Yeah, I know.
I was on a celibacy kick back then.
The '90s were a weird time.
- That's your mom?
- Yeah.
Okay, we didn't sleep together,
but we kissed.
- You did?
- And did other stuff.
You did?
- A lot of other stuff.
- Oh! Why didn't she tell me that?
Ugh, didn't see this text.
"He was on some lame celibacy thing,
so we just explored each other's bodies
with our hands and our mouth"
Yeah. I told you it was a weird time.
But, Sophie, it was years ago.
Decades.
Three decades.
We could come back from this.
We can totally come back from this.
- We can't come back from this!
- We can't come back from this.
Goodbye, Robert.
Goodbye, Sophie.
Say hi to your mom for me.
Ai!
- Hi.
- Hi!
I broke up with Robert.
Wait, what happened?
I don't even know where to begin.
Maybe I'll start with
I think I wanna find my dad.
- What?
- Wow.
Then, we will help you find him.
Thanks.
Did I miss Lost and Found Day?
Don't worry. That box will be
full again before you know it.
Good!
Look at us.
A newly single woman,
her engaged best friend
I am not really engaged.
Yo, this centerpiece is fire.
She was 100% engaged!
Can we please get some food?
I'm starving.
- Yes.
- Robert was supposed to make us dinner,
and then I realized
he was maybe my dad.
- What?
- You realized he was maybe your dad?
Wait! Wait for me!
