Kevin (Probably) Saves the World (2017) s01e08 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Kevin [Probably.]
Saves the World" - I'm a messenger from God.
- Oh, good.
I'm here to guide and protect you.
- Who are you talking to? - She can't see me.
The only job you have in life is to build up your spiritual powers through - acts of kindness and selflessness.
- [LAUGHS.]
God is gonna show you how to find the other righteous.
Can you please explain to me why I can't tell anyone who I am, who you are, or what I'm doing? When are you gonna ask Amy out? - What do you think? - No.
If you were to ask me out, I would say yes.
You and the others still need to find out what happened to the other 35 righteous.
- Sweet murder board.
- Aah! - He's one of you?! - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big time.
That's why I'm here.
I want to join Team Kevin.
- No.
No.
- Great! - Team Kevin forever, right? - [LAUGHS.]
I have a mission for you.
Oh, look at them.
Brought together by the whims of happenstance.
Random moments connecting their lives.
It takes my breath away to think about how you are screwing it all up for them! [QUIETLY.]
I'm going as fast as I can.
Seems like you're afraid of a little dirt, Kevin.
[GROANS.]
I wish this was dirt.
The clock is ticking, Kevin.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
- Everything okay down there? - You bet! Oh.
Smooth sailing.
Oh! Found it! [GROANS.]
Okay, he's down on one knee.
Oh, they're laughing, they're laughing, they're laughing! Ooh, she said yes! She said yes! She said yes! [LAUGHS.]
You guys seem familiar.
Kevin? Are you okay? - Kevin? - [RAT SCREECHES.]
- Ohh! - [SPLASH.]
[SCRUBBING.]
You do realize that tomato juice is supposed to be for skunks, right? I'll have you know there was a dead skunk in the sewer, so who feels like the stupid one now? What makes you think they were the exact same butterflies? I'm telling you, new vision, same as the old vision.
I mean, what reason would the Universe have for sending a repeat vision? [GASPS.]
We should ask Dave.
Like I said, Dave will be gone for a while.
A "Secret Mission," I know.
I just think as captain of Team Kevin Coach, then.
I'm Kevin.
Look, I just want to know where all of our players are at all times.
[SIGHS.]
Focus, please.
Now, the first time you saw the butterflies was? In my room, after helping Reese.
So, perhaps there's a connection.
Maybe the Universe is trying to get you to go back.
To my room.
To Reese.
[GASPS.]
Yes.
Right.
Yep, that That does make more sense, 'cause I have been in my room quite a lot.
Friend problems? - Someone "Mean Girl" -ing you? - No.
Schoolwork? Troubled romance? - No.
- [SIGHS.]
Puberty? Mm! No.
School teachers? [GASPS.]
Oh, they play! What about the play? What about the play? It's your big theatrical debut.
You must be nervous.
I can help.
I told you, I'm not in the play, I'm on the stage crew.
Reese, there are no small parts.
Only small people.
[SCOFFS.]
You're an idiot.
- What? - You don't even need to go.
I am definitely going to your play.
- No doubt, okay? - Hey, um, can I talk to you guys for a minute? Sure.
I'm just helping Reese get over her stage fright.
Um, okay.
- I have to tell you something.
- Mm-hmm.
And it's kind of a big deal.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay? I'm going out on a date.
And I want you to know that I'm not trying to replace your father.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Yeah, he's a co-worker from school, he's really nice.
His name's Iggy.
Is he a character from a children's cartoon? [SNICKERS.]
It's short for Ignacio.
Okay.
Actually, that's a pretty cool name.
- Yeah, well, he's a pretty cool guy.
- It is.
He teaches philosophy and theology.
Nope, sorry, he's back to uncool.
Okay, you know what, I am anxious enough already without a bunch of heckling from the peanut gallery.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I am sorry.
Here I come.
I'm making everything better.
- [SIGHS.]
- Come on.
I'm sorry.
Come here.
I think it's fabulous that you're dating again.
And, Reese, also, don't you think it's fabulous that your mom feels ready to date again? Reese? - Okay.
You know what? - I I don't know why I bother with you two.
- I don't.
- I [SIGHS.]
Do you need me to help process this news? Must be pretty upsetting.
Kev, can't thank you enough - for the assist on this little minx.
- Any time, man.
Took me 12 long years to track her down, but now she's finally mine.
12 years? Is this some kind of special papasan? Why yes, Kevin.
Yes, it is.
I was 15 years old.
The Kautter Family basement.
And this rattan-framed beauty cradled me during in my first kiss.
That's, uh sweet.
Yeah, I thought so, too.
Mrs.
Kautter was a little creeped out.
But she eventually sold it to me.
And, I got to say Totally worth the wait.
I'll give you a moment.
[SIGHS.]
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
Hey, Ty? Do you see a-a butterfly? Are you the butterfly? I don't think so.
Then my answer is no.
How would you feel about taking a little detour home? [HORNS HONKING.]
Oh, okay.
Reese's school.
Whoa.
Sorry, guys.
Wrong class.
Uh, nope.
I-I-I think this is, uh I think this is us.
You're taking my continuing education art class for seniors? Well, we're more like, uh, auditing it.
Check with the learning center.
Classes within your age range start at the beginning of each month.
Are you sure you don't need any help [CHUCKLES.]
with the class? Just cleaning brushes, sharpening pencils, anything? I am in a bit of a jam.
How comfortable are you with your body? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Great line weight, Cheryl.
Very loose and balanced.
Hey.
Hello, ma'am? Sorry, could you please not distract my students? Sorry.
Try experimenting How do you stay so still? As a kid, I'd spend hours in front of store windows, pretending I was a mannequin while my mom went shopping.
One day she left me there overnight.
So much fun.
[LAUGHS.]
[WIND WHISTLING.]
Okay, you know what? Turns out I only need one gladiator after all.
One gladiator's good.
You can leave.
No, I'm sorry.
I just I'm sorry.
- Shield.
- See you in the car, K-Dog! - Okay.
- Come on.
Shield.
Shield.
- Let's go.
- [GASPS.]
Wait, wait, wait.
I promise I'll be so good.
One more chance.
I'll be quiet.
Please, please, please.
I'll be so, so quiet.
- Never quieter.
The quietest.
- All right.
All right.
[SOFTLY.]
Sorry.
Eyebrows over there is a freaking natural.
What are you doing here? I gave you a mission.
I know.
And I failed.
Hard.
I talked to every one of us.
I gave my best sales pitch, you know, "Rejoin the cause!" "Help save the world.
"Maybe get a new soul to protect.
" And they all said the same thing? - A big, fat, juicy nope.
- Even Ava? Especially Ava.
She said she wanted nothing to do with you.
Hey.
Hey.
Come on.
We'll get through this.
All right? Look, I know how these kids feel.
I've been there myself.
Just let them, burn through all that anger and resentment while we focus our energy on Kevin.
As soon as he anoints a new righteous, the rest'll come around.
Trust me.
[SIGHS.]
- You think so? - You bet your sweet ass I do.
We're not there yet.
Duly noted.
Hey! I wanted to return your costume.
Sorry.
There you go.
Um, sorry if I was too disruptive in class.
Not your fault.
It's me.
I've been in a snit all day.
Is something bugging you? What do you think about this? [CHUCKLES.]
I think it's really good.
- Is that yours? - Yeah.
So, how come all your great art is just piled up in this car? Supposed to be part of an art exhibit this weekend.
My first.
Friends own a gallery in Austin, asked me to be a part of it.
- [CAR DOOR CLOSES.]
- What happened? Same thing as always I book a show, get psyched, but when the moment comes, I I can't bring myself to do it.
Gotten to a point I just keep them in the car now, hoping to build up enough courage.
Well, what are you afraid of? I mean, what's the worst that could happen? Everyone says that I suck.
Uh, well, people tell me that I suck, literally, every day, and it's not that bad.
I'm a coward.
Better to be left wondering than mortified.
- Excuse me.
- Well[SIGHS.]
- Okay.
- [ENGINE STARTS.]
[KNOCKING ON WINDOW.]
- Sorry.
- What are you doing? I am looking at a guy who's clearly talented, but needs assistance.
And how do you know that? Because I am a patron of the arts.
I love all the great artists, artworks Mona Lisa, um, Soup Can, People At The Park Made Our of Dots, um, Screamy Face, Melty Clocks personal fave.
Very impressive.
But I'm I'm not Look, look, look, you can barely fit in your car.
I have a truck.
I'll drive you to Austin.
I can help set up.
I'll I'll I'll cheer you on.
You're not gonna let go until I say yes, are you? Pretty much, yeah.
All right.
Fine.
I-I'll do it.
Yes! You will not regret this.
- Now please let go.
- Sorry.
- Oh, hey.
- Hi.
- Sorry.
- No.
I-I'm sorry.
Uh, were you leaving or? No.
I mean, yeah, I w I was leaving, but, um, I-I can talk if - Are you here to talk? - Uh, yes, I Well, I actually just wanted to see if you've given any thought to, uh to tomorrow night? Definitely.
Yeah.
Like, so many thoughts.
That's great.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Well, I-I know you have the play first, but I'm flexible for whatever you want to do after.
Oh, sure.
Like, um, dinner? I'm open to anything.
Or we could go to a movie, you know? Uh, but I will have just been sitting for a couple of hours, so, you know, something active may be nice.
[CHUCKLES.]
But not too active.
Like a museum, you know, or dancing or mini-golf.
How about that last one? Hmm? - Mini Mini-golf? - Fantastic.
Yeah, haven't done it in years.
Should I meet you there? Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
That'll be great.
Oh.
Great.
Mini-golf? Amy.
Mini-golf? [CRICKETS CHIRPING.]
Ah! Who wants to check out an ultra-hip Austin art show with me? Since when are you into art? I'm not.
But you are.
Figured you could be my ringer.
When is it? Tomorrow.
You forgot.
Forgot what? My school play.
It's tomorrow.
Uh Oh, man, you totally fell for it "Kevin, you forgot my school play.
" Totally fooled you.
That is hilarious.
You are too easy, kiddo.
- Mm-hmm.
- Too easy.
If you have something else to do, I get it.
It's not a big deal.
What? No.
That is silly.
I am definitely gonna - Be there.
Uh - Seriously, it's not a big deal.
I told you you didn't have to go.
Really? Oh, hey, guys.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Guys? Dave! - Hey there, handsome.
- When did you get back? Uh, earlier today.
And I'm leaving.
You are? Just for a few days.
I need to recharge my batteries.
Dave here will keep an eye on you while I'm gone.
Are you comfortable with that, Dave? - Are you kidding? - [BUTTONS POP.]
I've been waiting for this moment.
"Team Kev" No way! You know what? Never mind.
Never mind all that.
[IMITATES AIR HORN.]
Boys' weekend, babyyy! [LAUGHING.]
[IMITATES AIR HORN.]
KRISTIN: Okay, guys, let's run the cues for Act Three one more time, please.
Oh, hi! You guys are lifesavers.
The kids are really working their tails off.
Oh, well, this is Amy's idea.
And she paid for it.
But, um, I carried more boxes.
[LAUGHS.]
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, it's, um, it's been an adjustment.
And the play has been a-a welcome distraction.
Reese has been an incredible help.
- Our Reese? - Yeah.
She She designed the sets and the poster and And she's basically been our de facto stage manager.
Uh, hey, Cameron, can you hold that stardrop? We need to reset for Act Three.
You two better get here early and snag the best seats.
Yeah.
We'll get here super early.
Uh, but I have got to get going.
So, um - Okay, bye.
- See you later.
Uh, are you available to chaperone the cast and crew party tonight? [SIGHS.]
I wish I could, but I have plans.
A date, actually.
- That is so great.
- [GIGGLES.]
Well, hey, you're you're welcome to bring him.
Yeah.
Well, that sounds much more enjoyable than mini-golf, which I inexplicably suggested.
It's a disaster waiting to happen.
Seriously, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say, - I don't know how to act - Amy.
Amy.
Amy.
Let's have some pizza.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
I haven't been out with anybody who wasn't my husband in over 20 years.
The experience really isn't that much different than when you were a teenager.
My mother drove me to the last date that I went on.
Okay.
Well, that's, uh [LAUGHS.]
Yeah, but, you know, the good news is you've already got the toughest part out of the way.
Now you just get to know each other and see if you're compatible.
"Hi.
I'm a widowed mother "of a teenage daughter.
" I like good books and long walks on the beach when I'm not being driven insane by my twin brother "who, oh, by the way, he also lives with me.
" I'm sure this Iggy guy has issues of his own.
Right? 'Cause everyone has baggage.
You just You don't unpack it all on the first night.
Yeah.
Okay, but what if I start to unpack? Uh, then focus on the mini-golf, right? Yeah.
Destroy him if you have to.
Mm-hmm.
Wait.
Hold that thought.
Uh, Jeffery, Marcella.
Yeah, please keep your hands and your mouths to yourselves.
[RUMBLING.]
AVA: Do you ever have the urge to take a big bite out of one of those? I think it must be the color.
Or the swirls.
Reminds me of taffy.
Thanks for coming, Ava.
Surprised to get the invitation.
I'm supposed to be taking some time off.
But I really need to discuss Dave.
Oh, boy.
What about him? Have you seen him recently? Sure.
You have? Last night, in a dream.
You were there, too.
And there were so many puppies.
Have you seen Dave somewhere that wasn't a dream? No.
That's what I thought.
[PINS CLATTER.]
Are you looking for him? More like looking into him.
He showed up last week, offering to help with Kevin, but something's felt off ever since.
Well, yeah.
There's a reason for that.
Dave's the one who told the rest of us not to listen to you.
- He was? - You bet.
Right after we got here.
Very angry, and very convincing.
[GIGGLES.]
This game is really easy.
S-so, what do you think he's up to? I don't know, but I am gonna find out.
And then I'll make him cry.
- [PINS CLATTER.]
- [SIGHS.]
Uh, I think I need one more painting from the house.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[DOOR OPENS.]
What's wrong? Talk to Dave.
You should have seen Reese on that stage.
It was like a different kid.
No moping, no sarcasm.
She was engaged.
Her hair was in a ponytail, Dave.
Yeah, nothin' says confidence like a strong pony, that's for sure.
And now I'm the knob who's bailing on his niece.
Yet again.
Hey.
Kev.
You're not a knob.
Tell that to Reese after I don't show up tonight.
Well, then go to the play.
And do what? Ditch Ethan? Yeah, you're in a tough spot, amigo.
No doubt.
- Yeah.
- But even a non-human like myself can tell that family is a key component to your spiritual well-being.
And, in that this entire shebang is all about strengthening your spirit, isn't it entirely possible that supporting Reese is the better decision right now, I mean, you know, spiritually? Yeah.
That sounds smart.
Because it is.
[LAUGHS.]
Listen, um, Kev, the Universe has asked far too much of you, and that sucks.
So, I'm stepping up.
Time for the rubber to meet the road.
Team Kevin's got your back, muchacho.
Hi! Hi, I'm a good friend of Kevin's.
My name is Dave.
Um, nice to meet you, Dave.
I'm Ethan.
Bad news uh, Kevin can't make it to Austin.
He has a family emergency.
But I can, you know, I mean, if that's cool with you, of course.
Um, yeah, I-I guess.
I'm a huge art buff.
I checked out a bunch of your stuff in the truck Really evocative stuff, man.
Trè bien.
Uh Uh, thanks.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but do I sense a slight undertone of Fauvism in much of your oil work? No, you're right.
Um, I'm always drawn to intense usage of Of color.
- Ethan, you can see this guy? - Um, y-yeah.
Yeah, of course he can see me, Kevin.
Why wouldn't he be able to see me? Hey, good thing I'm driving you to Austin, huh? [LAUGHS.]
Come on.
- What the hell, Dave? - Apologies, Kevin.
I did not mean to overstep my bounds.
- I was just trying to help.
- No, no! Since when can you reveal yourself to other people? Since forever.
I I thought you guys couldn't show yourselves to other humans? [LAUGHS.]
Who the heck told ya Th Oh.
Why would she lie to me? Kev, we both know Yvette isn't exactly the sharing type, but I'm sure she had her reasons.
What else hasn't she told me about? I want to know.
Bud, if it were up to me, I'd tell you everything.
Honesty is kind of my number-one jam.
But just when Yvette gets back, have a chat with her, clear the air.
Awesome.
Now quit being such a downer and go hang with your family.
Dave's got this "Universe" junk handled.
Enjoy the night off.
- Thanks, Dave.
- Okay.
- - No, thank you, uh, ma'am, for that.
So, you know, if you just take your seats and enjoy the play.
Okay, that's great.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
- Hey.
- Hi.
- You seem a little bit overwhelmed.
Uh, yeah.
Well, you know, let's see.
Um, the fog machine still isn't working, and the cast decided they need a different flavor of seltzer because they heard that Lin-Manuel drinks pamplemousse, so [LAUGHS.]
that was Anyway, enough about How are you? Are you feeling better about the date? More so than I did this morning, thanks to you, so thank you.
It's gonna be fine.
Excuse me, I heard there were programs over here.
- Deputy, nice of you to join us.
- Thank you.
Well, uh, this is a bit of a surprise.
Yeah, is it, uh, strange for a grown man to be watching a high-school play? - Uh, yeah, kind of.
- [CHUCKLING.]
Well, the, uh, Chief's daughter is one of the leads.
Our attendance tonight was "recommended.
" [SCOFFS.]
So, um, do you want to go get something to eat afterwards? We can't! Yeah.
Uh, we we can't, because, um, we're stuck chaperoning the cast and crew after party, so we're just stuck doing that all night long, - so chaperoning away, right? - Yep! Okay, well, um, good luck with all that.
- Thank you.
- Yeah! - That was fine, right? - Well, it it It sounded fine.
Yes.
It was fine.
WOMAN: Please take your seats.
The show will begin shortly.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
[CLATTERING IN DISTANCE.]
KEVIN: Ow! [DOOR CLOSES.]
Thus die I, thus, thus [SIGHS.]
Now die, die, die.
[APPLAUSE.]
KEVIN: Whoo! - [HUSHED.]
Stop it.
- Reese! Move that set! Seamless transition! Nice and smooth! Whoo! Asleep, my love? What, dead, my dove? O Pyramus, arise.
We need to talk now.
Speak, speak.
Quite dumb? Now, Kevin.
We need to talk now.
- Dead a tomb must cover thy sweet - You're ignoring me? I know you can hear me, Kevin! You want to sit here and act the fool all night? Okay.
You just sit there and watch.
With hands as pale as milk - Lay them in gore - Kevin, cool it, man.
Sorry, sorry.
With shears of his threaded silk.
How's this, Kevin? Can you see me now? Just a private little show Me and you.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
I have to pee.
What the hell is wrong with you? Me? Nothing's wrong with me.
I feel wonderful.
Oh! I'm glad, because while you've been goofing off, Dave has been working against us this entire time.
We can't trust him.
Ha! [LAUGHS.]
Wow.
Whoo, boy.
Amazing.
This isn't funny, Kevin.
This is hilarious.
This is about, um, as funny as it [LAUGHS.]
gets You talking to me about trust.
What are you carrying on about? Oh, well, um [HUSHED.]
I know you can reveal yourself to other people.
[NORMAL VOICE.]
Surprise! So please, please, please continue to lecture me about the importance of trust and honesty.
We didn't know who or what affected the other righteous, so drawing attention to you by parading around and revealing myself felt like a pretty foolish strategy.
Really? Um, because from From where I From where I stand, it felt like you could've spared me And Amy and Reese from a huge amount of trouble, but you chose not to.
I've been gone one day, and now you don't trust me anymore? [CHUCKLES.]
It's a funny thing about us humans.
We find it hard to trust people when they lie.
Dave is manipulating you, Kevin.
Dave? What about you? The only thing Dave's ever done is help.
So is that why you're not with Ethan, because Dave is helping you? Yeah, yeah, actually.
And you know why? Because we we work together as a team.
[SCOFFS.]
I'm sure.
And you know what? Now that I think about it, um, maybe it's time that I consider a A lineup change.
Namely you on the bench.
Sports.
So I don't want to intimidate you, but I did score a hole-in-one on this course about five years ago at Reese's birthday party.
Is that so? - Hey.
- Yeah, 24 kids.
Just balls flying everywhere.
It was Wow.
[LAUGHS.]
Okay.
That actually sounded a lot more porny than I intended.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
- Wow.
- [LAUGHS.]
So, uh, how you feeling right now? I'm feeling like you're three strokes behind, mister.
Well, I I-I just I wasn't sure if all of this was a bit weird for you, you know.
It's a little different, but I'm having fun.
I took two showers today.
- I'm sorry? - Yeah, I was getting ready earlier, and I took a shower, and then I second guessed - the amount of cologne I put on.
- Uh, well, that is fascinating.
Which is to say that if I was nervous for tonight, [LAUGHS.]
I can imagine, you know, the prospect of our date holding a little more anxiety for you.
Okay.
Maybe I was a little bit nervous about tonight.
[LAUGHS.]
I just I didn't know if it would feel strange being on a date with somebody that wasn't Jon, and I'd feel like I was cheating on him.
Can you even cheat on a dead person? Am I a bad kisser and he never told me about it? I mean, what other quirks was he hiding from me? Do I snore? Do I chew loudly? Do I have an oddly shaped head? Do my clothes have this, like, funky, weird mildew smell that I just don't notice but you would definitely notice? [MUSIC PLAYS INDISTINCTLY.]
Dave? Dave! - Dave!! - I'm Dave.
- Yep.
Hey.
- What? - Hey! - Hi.
Hey, man.
How's it going? How was the show? Shouldn't you be in Austin? No.
Oh, my goodness, what a bust.
That guy does not have the confidence to become an artist.
That's sort of the entire reason we were helping Ethan in the first place, buddy? I'm not a miracle worker.
- [CAN TOP POPS.]
- I-I don't understand.
What What happened? Mm.
[LAUGHS, SNIFFS.]
Nothing.
The guy froze literally.
He would not leave the truck.
Well, what did you do? What was I supposed to do, kick him out of the truck? Yeah.
But with your words, maybe.
With my? [LAUGHS.]
Okay.
No.
Kev, bro, look.
You're talking to a "Free Will" guy here, okay? I had to respect the man's wishes.
- No - So, no You know, we just went and got some wings and headed home - and called it a night.
- Oh, my We'll get 'em next time, tiger.
Ah! I knew it.
I knew it.
I-I-I I shouldn't have gone to the show.
I should've trusted my gut.
Yvette never would have let me blow off the mission like that.
Ouch.
I'm sitting right here.
If I had just stayed with Ethan, everything would be fine.
I put Yvette on the bench for you, Dave.
Follow me.
- What? Wha - Eh Come on.
Did I just spend the last two hours talking about myself nonstop? More like an hour 45.
Okay, well, let me please start by apologizing for turning our date into a therapy session.
Well, to be fair, I mean, I am the one that started us - down that path so - So it's your fault.
I mean, anything to keep you from seeing how terrible I am at mini golf.
Oh, I noticed that, like, immediately.
- [LAUGHS.]
Did you? - Yeah, right off - Gah! - Right away.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Okay, well, at least you know everything there is to know about me.
[SCOFFS.]
I very much doubt that.
Okay, well, my hang-ups at least.
Well, to put it another way, uh, you know, now that you've given voice to these anxieties, you don't have to worry about it on a second date.
A second date? [CHUCKLES.]
Do me a favor and stand right there for a second.
Time for your lesson.
Can you tell me what color paint is in this can? - I-I don't know.
- Fair enough.
I, however, do know what color paint is inside of this can, and that color - Is red.
- [LID CLATTERS.]
What the heck?! Oh, my goodness.
[LAUGHING.]
I am so sorry.
I'm sorry about that.
What a booboo.
- Okay, just a sec.
- This was my only nice shirt.
Eh, don't worry about it.
I got it.
The paint inside of this can is green.
Okay, don't! Please don't, please don't! Okay? I get it.
All right? Enough! Okay? Enough.
Stop it.
[SIGHS.]
And scene.
Now, here's the part where I drop some knowledge.
- Does it involve dry-cleaning? - Very good.
Kevin, my existence as a warrior for God is, to put it mildly, pretty sweet, but there are still many things with regard to my "warriordom" - that I do not know.
- Yeah, I'm picking up on that.
Yvette and I, we're the same.
We have the same capabilities, the same limitations.
There is one difference, however.
I am able to admit when I've made a mistake.
Yvette, on the other hand, God love her, she just can't help but act like she has all the answers even when she's wrong.
But, Kevin, here's the point No one is infallible, not even beings like us, no matter what she says.
YVETTE: Hey! - Oh, boy.
- I'm not here for you.
Got business with this jackass.
- Sidebar.
Now.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No sidebars, no disappearing, no magic doors, just no more secrets.
Kevin, I don't know what he's been telling you, but Only the truth, sweetheart.
You should give it a whirl sometime.
Ooh, that's big talk coming from a guy who's been slithering behind my back since you landed on this planet.
Now, does your truth include an explanation of why you've been working against us? No.
No, no, no.
Not us.
You.
Kevin, do you know why we followed Yvette down here.
No, I don't.
We followed her because she told us she could fix everything.
She told God, she told anyone who would listen, and we believed her.
We left our home, only to get here and realize that her entire plan was worthless.
She was just making it up as she went along.
You knew exactly what you signed up for, Dave.
I I signed up because I believed in you So confident, so sure that you could protect the righteous and save humanity.
She's saying you'll find a whole new generation of the righteous when the truth is she has no idea.
You want to know what I think? I think there aren't any more.
And I think there won't be anymore.
So, which one of us is right? Go on.
Tell him.
I don't know.
Boom.
Told you.
Uh, Dave, please.
But [SIGHS.]
That doesn't mean Dave's correct.
You must understand this was never about certainty for me.
It has been and always will be about my faith in you.
I believe that there's no one on this planet who can accomplish what you can.
Not me, not Dave.
You.
DAVE: Goose bumps.
Yeah, I forgot how good you were at the faith bit.
What is it that you want, Dave? I want Kevin to wake up and realize that he's a "Plan B," that he's an audible.
I want him to think about all the rinky-dink tasks he kills himself for a-and whether the future of the Universe hinge's on some dude's art show.
Because if he still thinks that you've got the answers Then he's stranded With no way home.
[SIGHS.]
I, uh Um I'm gonna g-go to bed.
[BIRDS SINGING, KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Hi, Ms.
Allen.
Reese.
Just the person I was hoping to see.
Uh, this is for you.
Oh.
- Honey, who is it? - Hey.
Just brought Reese a little gift to say thank you for being such a phenomenal help with the play.
Aww.
A rock.
Uh [CHUCKLES.]
Uh, cool.
I made this.
I mean, I figured you couldn't put an entire backdrop in your room so - Yeah.
- Rock.
Rock.
It's It's really great.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I probably could have given that to Reese on Monday, but I was curious how your evening went.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
So, um, well, I did not unpack all of my baggage, for starters.
Congratulations.
Yeah, no, I, um, actually opened the bag, and then I dumped the mess all over the ground.
Okay.
Well, that's That's a different That's a different way to go about things.
But he seems interested in a second date, I think.
- Well, that's great! - Yeah.
[LAUGHS.]
What are you gonna tell Nate this time? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
That was really unexpected.
[LAUGHS.]
You're telling me.
It just It felt weird to tell him.
[SIGHS.]
I don't know.
Well, maybe you should figure that out before you give Iggy a call.
[SIGHS.]
What's going on? Nothing.
You've been in here all day.
Are you sad? Does this look sad to you? [DOOR CLOSES.]
Want to tell me what's going on? Honestly, I Really, really wish I could.
But can't.
You know, that used to bug me, not knowing why you were always acting so weird all the time.
Yeah, I seem to remember you stalking me, placing a tracker on my phone.
Did you ever wonder why it doesn't bother me anymore? Mm, nope.
Was just glad you stopped being so annoying.
I realized it didn't matter why you were being weird because, when you were weird, you were usually helping people.
You know, you don't have to keep using the word "weird.
" And you've helped, like, a lot of people.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Like, look at me.
I try not to as a rule.
I'm trying to say you helped me, genius! Without you, I probably wouldn't have done the play.
Really.
[VOICE BREAKING.]
I owe a lot to you.
And now [DOOR OPENS.]
Now I have this rock.
Is the rock a metaphor? I'm just saying it doesn't matter why you act weird because you use your weirdness to do good stuff.
And those little things add up.
[SIGHS.]
I'm not even gonna make a joke.
[SIGHS.]
[VOICE BREAKING.]
Thank you, Reese.
That was really nice.
Sure.
But, you know, if you wanted to tell me how you pull off all that stuff, I wouldn't, like, mind.
Because I don't think you're doing it alone.
Someone or something has got to be helping you.
Hey, Reese.
Um When you were a baby, I dropped you on your h-head.
And not like once Like, three or four times.
[LAUGHS.]
I know.
I know.
