Go On

Ooh! Sorry, me.

I'm home! Yeah, that works.

Sorry, sewing machine, you're out.

Sonia, it's your lucky day.

You broke your sewing machine.

I remembered this because you spent a whole session talking about it,

and it seemed so inconsequential

I wanted to drive chopsticks through my ears.

You listened.

I needed to make some room.

This was Janie's, I don't sew, it's yours.

Yay! - Not so fast.

Not so fast?

With this machine, you sew very fast.

Yeah. No, what I mean is,

it's a really big deal to start giving Janie's possessions away.

Now it's certainly part of moving on,

but you want to be emotionally prepared.

Okay, one second.

Yeah, I'm emotionally prepared.

And, there are no memories attached?

Memories of what?

Janie being a terrible sewer?

You should see the shirt she tried to make me.

She made you a shirt?

Nope. Not doing that, not the point of the story.

What's the crown?

Oh, that was a Janie thing.

I begged her to take my name, so "Janie King,"

which she thought was silly, but she leaned into it.

So, the crown and the initials.

What is wrong with you people?

How do you go see a pixar movie?

You must be shrieking the entire time.

It was just practical.

I just needed the space.

For what? - A cardboard, life-sized me.

Dude, I defend you when you're not here.

Make it easier. - Ryan...

We're here to be honest with our feelings, not suppress them.

Now your wife loved you so much that she sewed you a shirt to clothe your body.

And you gave that precious machine away.

We have tissues.

And a safe space.

Lauren and I pledge allegiance to the flag...

How did he not cry?

I always cry when I get the heart hand.

Yeah, yeah. When Lauren goes for the cry,

she gets her cry. I don't "go for the cry."

What? - Of course you do.

It's a gift.

You sense someone's wounded, then you circle them

with a bunch of "how does that make you feels,"

and then you pounce, like an emotional cheetah.

I'm just not your average "wildabeest."

"Wilderbeest?" Wildebeest.

Crying is not something I can do to you.

Do I think that crying can be cathartic?

Yes.

Do I wish to Foster an environment in which

everyone feels comfortable letting go...

Oh, why?

Oh, God. Why?

The emotional cheetah, jaws bloody from her fresh kill,

disappears into the African night.

No!

Carrie! Carrie!

Any word from Jeremy Roenick?

Is he gonna let me play? - Oh, uh, you know,

I didn't get a chance to call him yet.

Did you hear the news?

A spot opened up in Jeremy Roenick's pickup hockey game.

I've been trying to get in that game for five years.

NHL-ers, celebs,

guys named "guy," but it's pronounced "ghee."

Carrie's gonna get me in.

So do it, you know. Call now.

Because the talent needs to be happy.

I don't wanna have to go all diva on you.

I'm the talent, I'm the talent.

Yeah, you are, brother.

You already called, didn't you?

Yeah. - Roenick hates Ryan.

Yeah. - Most athletes do.

You'd think there'd be no downside to constantly insulting people on the air.

So nothing worked on Roenick, huh?

Not even the dead wife card?

The what? - Oh... ha!

I forget. You're young and pretty, people just give you things.

Let me show you how the rest of us behave.

Roenick!

Whassup, beantown?

'Cause you're from Boston, bro.

Anyway, it's Steven down at k-bal.

I heard Ryan King was sniffing around your game.

I know! Man's a jerk.

Yeah, hey, I was driving him home from his wife's funeral...

That's a fishing Rod. - Yeah, got it.

I suppose it is sad.

What's that? No, no, he's not doing well.

But, listen, the important thing is,

you've got a game, and he bugs you.

Yeah.

Well, I guess that would be the human thing to do.

I'm the talent, I'm the talent.

Sorry I'm late, guys.

Had to pick up hockey gear for my game with Jeremy Roenick.

Gonna play hockey with Jeremy Roenick.

He's a former NHL player.

Yeah, that sound doesn't work for everything.

Sit down, we're making collages.

Really? - Really.

It's a way to express yourself using images instead of words.

This side represents our past.

Memories that, at times, people may avoid getting in touch with.

Like, people who carelessly give away sewing machines?

All people.

This side represents what we want for our future.

Now, I don't like to bring my personal life into the group,

so I made my collage

for Katniss Everdeen from "the Hunger games".

Oh, Lauren, just when I thought you couldn't get me any more.

Wow. Katniss is stoic.

She suffered a great loss in her past.

Is this happening, what I'm seeing right now?

Is this actually happening?

On this side, we have a bow and arrow

she made for herself from the woods beyond the fence,

a meager loaf of bread, and flames.

What does she want for her future?

A baby... Aww.

A canopy bed, and goats.

Ryan, look at my collage.

I see you.

Oh, God...

Ok, knock it off.

So, group, a good friend of mine is getting married.

But I don't know if I can face it.

I haven't been to a wedding since Patty died.

You should go. - Yes.

Maybe you will meet someone new like Mr. Patty.

Get the penis, and everything will be good again.

That's not really the endgame, sweetie.

Ugh, it's just so complicated.

Yeah, I know.

I've blown off three weddings myself.

It's the whole "plus one" thing, right?

Yes. - Yeah, because

we're minus one. It's horrible.

Yes. Wow, King... Same page.

Ooh, yeah, look at her.

You can have this back after group.

How much do you want to go?

A lot.

She's really one of my best friends.

I know I'll regret it if I don't.

But to face it alone?

No, you don't have to go alone.

I'll be your plus one.

Now.

Aww. - Yeah, all right, fine.

That is a very sweet gesture,

but on the other hand you can be quite grating.

I think it would be really nice for you two to experience that together.

All right, just let me think about it.

Don't think about it too long, or she'll go in for the cry.

I'm in.

And cry denied.

Michael Vartan. This is a celebrity game.

Wasn't "Alies" big, like, ten years ago?

Wasn't radio big, like, 100 years ago?

Yo, Roenick! - Let's play.

Come on, Ryan!

It's all you, it's all you!

Go easy, man, his wife died.

Doin' it! Yeah!

That's it, that's it.

I am having the best game of my life.

I really think I'm starting to get in their heads.

You're a beast! - Yeah, I am!

A severely delusional beast.

Is he really buying all this?

It's part of the wonder that is Ryan.

He's not looking for clues that he's not awesome.

What are you guys talking about, how great I am?

Whose Puck?

My Puck!

No one's better, baby!

No one!

Goooooooooal!

Are you okay? - Yeah!

I just lost a contact lens.

Hey, is... Is he all right?

Not in here.

But this, what you're doing, it helps.

Yo, Roenick! Get back on D, princess!

Do you think those glasses make you look smarter?

No, I think they help me see.

Because they don't make you look smarter.

That's right, get it all out of the way now.
