Kevin Can Wait

Good morning, Dad.

Chale has some news.

It's quite exciting.

I think you're gonna like it, Mr. Gable.

All right, please, Chale, look,

you're married to my daughter now.

You can call me Kevin, okay?

Really? Well, okay, Kevin, I have some news.

All right, never mind. I don't like it.

It's very weird. You gotta go back.

You gotta go back.

Fine.

Mr. Gable, you are looking at Enzo's newest food server.

Oh, you got a job.

That's great. I don't know how exciting it is.

The excitement comes in three waves.

One, I will have money for rent.

I can ride that wave.

Two, I will be able to bring home all the leftover pizza.

- Uh-huh. - And three,

I will be able to save you a seat at the bar

for all sporting events.

I gotta say, I thought this was gonna take a bad turn.

- Plus, we can hang out more. - There it is, right there.

Good morning, neighbor.

Drink this. I'm good.

No, you gotta drink this. It's coffee from Holland.

I already had coffee.

Not like this. This goes down smooth, silky.

It's like a Sunday walk in a pair of furry boots.

And then it hits the bloodstream,

and it's like a llama stomping you in a field.

By the way, I'm so excited about the new job.

Thank you so much.

Remember, you're not licensed,

so you can't do any security work, all right?

You got it. Wink, wink.

No, no, no. There's no winks, all right?

You're like an intern, all right?

It's low pay, all right, there's no benefits...

why is my heart pounding out of rhythm?

It's the llama. Whah!

So what do I do?

I don't know. Just... I guess answer the phone.

Is there a manual or something so I can read about

my work responsibilities?

There are no manuals.

You know what? That's a good idea.

- Write a manual. - Oh, okay. Yeah.

I'll, uh, cover everything

from sexual harassment to casual Fridays.

- Wow, so this is your office? - Yes.

- It's nice. - Thank you.

Guys, this is Trent.

Trent, this is my partner, Kevin.

Hey, Trent. Nice to meet you.

Trent, that's a, uh, it's like a soap opera name, right?

Who was the last to see Maria alive?

I think it was Trent.

Okay, good bit.

And, uh, this is Rootger. He manages...

Let's go with human resources.

All right, so thank you.

Thank you for walking me back

- to the office. - Wow, a lot of big dudes here.

Kevin looks like he belongs in the NFL.

I don't know about the NFL,

but I certainly had some good moments in high school.

Yeah, I bet you did. I can tell by the frame.

- You never quite lose it. - You know, you really don't.

You don't ever really lose it.

Trent, you want a cup of coffee?

No, he's gotta get back to the office. He's a doctor.

Ah, dermatologist. No big deal.

Hey, it was great meeting you guys.

- And I'll call you later. - Okay. Bye.

Ooh! Someone has a boyfriend.

Ooh! Someone has a boyfriend!

Shut up. He is not my boyfriend.

Look, I like Trent, but he's getting the hook.

I can't get emotionally involved with somebody right now.

Oh, boy. Here we go.

What?

Every jerk you date, you fall in love with,

and you end up getting hurt.

You finally meet a rock-solid guy

and you're getting set to run away?

Rock-solid?

Okay, you're only saying that because Trent said

you look like you played in the NFL.

- No. - Yeah.

It... it was nice. It was very nice.

I usually get college. I don't get the NFL too often.

Did you hear what he said about the frame, though?

- I did. - Frame stays where it is.

No, what I'm saying is, like,

you know I have, like, a supernatural sense for things?

- No, you don't. - Yes, I do.

Two things people always ask me about...

relationships and where to eat late night.

It's my gift.

Okay, look, Trent is a nice guy,

but I'm just not ready for a relationship.

It doesn't matter if you're ready, okay?

Love doesn't have a clock, all right?

I don't have time for this.

Okay, you know what I think you should do, honestly?

Invite Trent to your sister's wedding.

- No. - Yes.

That is way too big a step.

Or not big enough. Hey, open your heart.

Hey, guys, question on the company's manual.

Do we need a policy on maternity leave?

Or has that ship sailed?

Hi, picking up an order.

Wait. Kendra Gable?

Noreen Thompson?

Wow, I haven't seen you since...

High school graduation.

I was on my way to Harvard and you were going to, um...

SUNY Plattsburgh.

Right.

But I'm in Columbia Law School now, yeah.

- This job is just part-time. - Good for you.

By the way, it's Noreen Thomas-Brady now.

Yeah, I'm married, too, by the way.

Kendra Gable-Witt.

Fantastic. Rick runs his own hedge fund.

- What's your hubby do? - He's a software developer, yeah.

And a game designer, yeah.

He's just kind of an all around, like, tech genius.

I keep leaning against the pizza oven

and burning my shoulder.

I tell myself, don't do it, but apparently,

that's not enough.

I'm Chale.

Oh. This is my friend Noreen.

This is my husband, Chale. Oh, nice to meet you.

Oh, you're from England.

We honeymooned there and then jetted over

to the south of France.

Us, too!

Yeah, what... we did London and Paris

and then... Hawaii.

Wow. Weird. I didn't see any of your posts on Instagram.

Oh, yeah, I've just been so busy.

But I'm gonna post them. This week.

I'll be looking for it.

- Great seeing you. - You, too.

So why were you ly...

It's a pizza oven, guy. It's always hot.

That will be great. Several months of work, yes.

I'm sure they'd be interested.

That's a very generous offer.

They'll be happy to hear it.

Thank you.

That sounded amazing. We got another job?

Oh, no, no. I was just testing out my new headset.

- Eh? - Good morning.

- Good morning. - I got my boys some doughnuts.

Ooh, I like the powdery ones. They get on my face.

Hey. You look good in that shirt.

What?

You look good. In the shirt. You look good.

Somebody's in a good mood.

Well, I had a really nice time with Trent last night.

I let down my guard, and it actually worked.

I am taking him to my sister's wedding.

- Oh, are you? - Mm-hmm.

I got a “you're welcome” ready

if you wanna throw me a “thank you.”

Let's not get too cocky, all right? You got lucky.

Okay, first of all, there's no such thing as luck,

- there's only truth. Yeah. - Oh, really? There's only truth?

- Do you want some truth? Okay. - Yeah.

- T-shirt? - Yeah.

Little snug, buddy.

What's this? You ordered without me?

Unspoken rule, guy, come on. You always wait.

Man, I love you, guy, but when we say 4:30,

and 4:37 rolls around, I'm getting into some wings.

But, hey, you can order us some beers if you want.

Oh, am I allowed to do that?

Don't be like that, dog.

Look at that. There's Trent.

Who's that?

Vanessa's new boyfriend. Good dude.

He said I looked like I could play in the NFL, so...

So he's delusional.

No, no, no. He's a good guy, man.

Vanessa was gonna dump him,

but I sprinkled a little wisdom on it,

and I got her back on the right track, so...

Wow. Vanessa looks different.

What's that?

That's not good.

Look, there's no easy way of saying this.

I saw Trent kissing another woman, all right?

And I know it... I know it hurts, all right,

but I have to be honest, 'cause I'm a straight shooter.
