Patriot (2015) s02e06 Episode Script

Fuck John Wayne

1 MAN: All right, man versus dog.
My advice: open your mind.
Each of you weighs average of, what 180 pounds.
Your average dog: 80 pounds, man.
So if you fought an 80-pound dude, you'd spend half of it laughing and all of it fucking that little motherfucker up.
So, approach it like you're fighting a little, weird 80-pound man with powerful jaws.
Let's talk technique.
One that works well simply allow your dog opponent to clamp down on a lesser-used limb, like, say, your left arm, which allows you four minutes to beat the fucking shit out of 'em with your advantaged right hand.
K.
O.
You guys know what that is? Knock out! Brain damage.
That's what "K.
O.
" fucking means.
You render their fucking brains damaged until they lose consciousness.
So, fight the fucking dog like a fucking dog and go right at his ass and let him bite a lesser limb.
Then knock the little motherfucker out by punching him in the fucking little dog head, where his little fuckin' dog brain is! They're trained to take you down, so I'm training you to take them down, which I pretty much just did.
All right, uh, please turn to page nine, and we'll learn how to knock a woman unconscious with a bicycle.

[PAPERS RUSTLING.]
[CARS WHOOSH, HORNS HONK IN DISTANCE.]
I'm gonna be the only one wearing a tie, Mom.
How long has it been since you've changed your clothes? Oh, three days.
Something.
Well, when's the last time you had some time off with your wife? Long time.
Well then put some effort into it.
You're very handsome.
Thanks.
Neither was John Wayne, by the way.
WOMAN: I'm sorry? John Wayne was not John Wayne, by the way.
John Wayne was not John Wayne? His name was Marion Morrison.
John Wayne's a fake name.
He also shirked World War II.
Flat feet.
Then pretended to fight in it, bravely.
Which makes him, in my book, a jerk.
My guess is that lots of dead guys were flat feet in Flanders field, you know, and elsewhere.
There's a There's a condition that young men who are exposed to the serial violence you find in war suffer from.
They snap under the weight of the the pressure of having to remain brave and to not indicate, you know, personal suffering and pain.
It's called the John Wayne Syndrome.
I used to have this T-shirt.
My workout shirt.
See, it hurts to exercise the remaining portion of my right leg because there's-there's atrophy.
Moving around, it's [CHUCKLES.]
it's an ordeal.
And you can see it on my face when I exercise.
I used to be ashamed of that.
Then I took out a magic marker and I wrote, "Fuck John Wayne" on this fucking T-shirt I'm talking about.
And that allowed me to be less tender about people here and there seeing me suffering.
You have to find a way to-to relieve that pain, or-or you'll be one of those kids who breaks and doesn't come back.
You must be Rob Saperstein.
Why? You look like someone my son would really like.
Oh, okay.
Cool.
Tom Tavner.
Okay.
All right.

Oh, my God! Watch this.

Me, too.
Emotionally.
And physically, too, I guess, which What? Which You know, I don't know.
It's not a bad thing, I-I guess, under some circumstances.
Which circumstances? Only when you try and hang yourself from your kayak and it-it can't support your weight, and Because it has a crack.
Circumstances like that.
I'm glad you're still here.

That's how the light gets in.

WOMAN: So at what point that day did it become the plan to pool your money together and go and buy the accordion boy? After laser tag.
I want to recant that.
May I? It was after we roved to the park, and were at a particular café together, drinking.
After we were at a particular pub, drinking.
Before laser tag.
And whose idea was it? Um I thi-I think it was John Lakeman's.
I think it would've been John's, that day.
I recall, clearly, that day, he was full of warm feelings and pilsners.
I bet we could do it.
How much can buying a kid cost, anyway? Not, like, a million.
How much can buying a kid cost, Icabod? I don't know, I've never bought a kid before, John.
[LAUGHS.]
I think, like, 1,800 bucks, ballpark.
We're, like, a hundred bucks short.
I got a hundred euro.

No, I no, I mean, in in my whole life.
But it's for freedom.

No way.
How many different languages you speak, Dennis? If there's oil there, then yeah, I can speak the language, pretty much.
Cool.
Tell him he's free.
He doesn't have to stay with us.
He can just run free.
- Did you tell him he can go? - Yeah.
Why didn't he go? I don't know.
Maybe he feels a bond or something.
Say mean things to him.
Like like, you never liked him anyway.
