The first 200 lines.
Nothing?
* It's true *
* The marriage that we once had now is through *
* And now we're doing all that we can do *
* To keep us all together as a crew *
* Just do as we say, not as we do *
* We really thought that we were done *
* But we've just begun *
- Has anybody heard from your mother?
- Nope. - I've not.
Hmm.
I gotta get to the Sons of Liberty reenactment.
I can't be late.
As you may have deduced, the redcoats are coming.
- Something tells me it'll all be OK.
- If Paul Revere doesn't ride, the entire course of history
could be changed.
By breakfast, we could all be subjects of the king.
I'll take my chances.
- Um, what did you do with my whale oil lantern?
Oh, sorry.
It's recharging in the hallway.
Seriously, how do I look?
Devastating.
Betsy Ross is going to go all wobbly in her petticoats.
She isn't Betsy Ross yet.
She's still Betsy Griscom, single and available.
And last week at rehearsal, I couldn't tell
if she was flirting with me or Ben Franklin.
Just ask her for her number.
- Yes, as they would have in 1775.
Oh, I know what this is.
You're upset that I'm dating.
- Dad, I'm thrilled that you're trying to date.
Good.
I'm glad.
- I might have suggested a clever online profile
or an appealing photo or two, but whatever.
If you're more comfortable with cosplay, God bless.
Thanks.
Your opinion means a lot to me.
- Truth is, dating gets harder the older you get.
Oh, it's never easy.
Trust me.
- I do not want to know why you just said that.
- All right, Dad, I turned off the Bluetooth
on your whale-oil lantern so it doesn't start
playing Lil Nas X.
- See? You get it.
Verisimilitude is the backbone of historical fiction.
My DNA is strong with this one.
Great news.
- Well, I'm going to grab my musket,
and then it's time to throw off the yoke of tyranny.
Taxation without representation?
I don't think so.
Can I rely on you to man the fort, General Washington?
Man it?
No.
But I can woman it.
Even better.
Woman it, then, please.
I'm not even going to ask.
I am looking at you...
Telling myself "I can get through this" without asking.
It's not going to be easy.
Finished?
Hold on.
OK.
- Where's Julia? - Oh, she had a work emergency.
What kind of work emergency?
- She didn't say, and I didn't ask.
Why not?
- Because she texted, "Don't ask."
- Your marriage just might work.
But listen, I gotta head out, 'cause--
No, no, no, no, no.
Don't tell me.
'Cause whatever it is, it won't be as good as my imagination.
- Hey, Trey. - Hey, Gracie.
What's up?
- Dad, can I have a sleepover? - Ooh.
I'm off duty.
That's up to your mom.
- Oh, I texted her, but her "do not disturb" is on.
That's OK.
Your mom's entrusted full responsibility
until she arrives to me.
So as your future stepdad, I say, commence the sleepover.
Yay!
Thank you, Trey.
Sleepovers are the best.
- Bold move agreeing to a sleepover without any data.
You don't know how many kids are coming.
You don't know what parents--
Uh, Grace, I need some data.
How many kids are coming?
Just Katie.
The Katie I brought to your suite at the Lakers game.
Oh, I love that Katie.
Do you know that Katie, Jim? - I do.
She's Grace's best friend since kindergarten.
I've met her, conservatively, 9,000 times.
- Hey, Paul, don't you have a midnight ride to get to?
Oh, my god!
Paul Revere!
Thank God.
I was about to ask for some Crunch Berries.
Aye, aye, Captain.
- Mr. Kearney, should be feeling the sedative
take effect in a few minutes.
Just lie back and relax.
- Julia, this is an incredibly nice thing you're doing
for your former father-in-law.
Oh.
I may be divorced from your son,
but you'll be my kids' grandpa for life,
helping them, spoiling them, losing them in a crowd.
- Hampton Beach is a very complicated beach.
You know, thanks for keeping it a secret from Jim.
If he ever heard I had a kidney stone, he'd be worried sick.
He loves you very much.
I blame myself.
Once when he was a kid, I pretended I was dead
for the entire afternoon.
Best nap I ever had.
Drug's kicking in, Bobby?
Oh, yeah.
I can't believe I ever judged junkies.
They're on to something.
Okey dokey.
I hope Julia's emergency is short-lived.
Oh, and I've gotta hit the, uh, little patriots room.
Then I will be on my way.
But you got this.
OK.
Ooh.
Hey, Katie. What's up?
- Hi. - Trey Taylor, remember?
Is Grace here?
- Hey, Katie. How's it--
Hi, Mr. Kearney.
Katie?
What did you guys say to her?
both: Nothing.
Derek just dumped me.
OK.
OK, let's go to the kitchen.
Sleepovers are the best.
* *
- Feeling any better now, Robert?
Flying high, Doc.
- So to view the kidney stones, we will insert
a camera into your urethra.
Perfect.
- In my 40 years, this is the first time
I have gotten that reaction.
Camera in my urethra.
Simple in and out.
Lickety-split.
- Bobby, do you know what the urethra is?
I don't.
But the doctor was wearing a Rolex, so he must.
- The urethra is the tube that runs from your bladder
to the tip of your...device.
Device?
What, like my iPhone?
- No, the tip of your-- your unit.
Unit?
- Your device, your unit, your member?
I'm sorry.
I was never good at "Pyramid."
Your penis?
My penis?
What the hell's he doing down there?
It's a kidney stone, not a penis stone.
Tell that butcher he's gotta find another way in!
They're all set for you.
You guys are barbarians!
We may need a minute.
Hey-hey, Revere.
Where's your outfit?
I texted my understudy.
He's going to go on.
But it's gonna be a disaster.
He knows nothing about being a silversmith.
Or the needs of a woman like Betsy Ross.
But I cannot leave you alone.
What are you talking about?
I can handle a sleepover.
You yourself said I got this.
Me got this.
I said you got that.
Now there's a crying girl involved.
You do not got this.
So you got this?
- I got this more than you got this.
Show me what you got.
What are you going to do?
Nothing.
