The Crew

Not gonna lie to you, buddy. We've, uh… we've had a bad run.

We need some points today.

I really, really need you with me.

Now, when that flag drops, I want you diving for the inside.

You get out there in front and make sure that you own the...

Hey! Are you wearing headphones?

Did you hear the new Cardi B? It's pretty sick.

Jake, I didn't know you were wearing headphones again.

You're killing me here. I need you focused.

I am focused.

All right.

Listen, I need to know how your brakes are doing all day.

All right? Let's stay in contact.

If you start to get loose, you gotta tell me.

And... Are you checking yourself out in my sunglasses?

Get...

- We talked about this! -

Lagano gets to listen to music before a race.

Yeah, he wins!

He's showered and halfway through dinner before you even finish!

If I had a better car, I'd win too!

What? That car is perfect.

I will smack the blond highlights right off your head.

These are natural.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

The race starts in one minute. What are you doing?

He had his headphones in again.

- - We talked about this!

All right, ladies and gentlemen.

We've had a bad few races, but that all changes today.

There's the green flag, and we're off.

- -

Oh! The 20 makes contact with 74 at turn one,

and they are both out of the race.

Who wants a soft pretzel?

Let's do it. Let's do it. Come on.

Hey, did you talk to the boss? Is he mad about the race?

Oh, no, no. He's not mad.

You crashed on the first lap, which gave him 499 to get over it.

- So, he understands. - Yeah.

- What do you think? - Oh, it's nice.

I just wish there was a path so Bobby can run into my arms

after he gets my gift.

Oh, he is going to love mine.

I got him ten pounds of squirrel sausage.

I know that doesn't sound like much,

but let me tell you, that is a lot of squirrels.

I'm good too.

Thanks to me, Bobby is gonna see the hottest show in town.

Two tickets to Hamilton.

Wow, that is two too many.

Why do we always have to turn this into a competition?

Why can't gift-giving just be about making someone happy?

It is.

Yours won't.

Look, look, look.

There he goes.

Well, you can give that winning gift to Bobby

next to that statue by Fredric Remington,

who happens to be Bobby's favorite artist.

Wait, what? Where did that come from?

What? Is that yours? That… That's more than the $500 limit.

Way more. I cheated.

You know, I thought I'd feel guilty, but I feel fabulous.

I may never do the right thing again.

- Hold on. Hold on. Yep. -

New background photo.

And the best part is, Bobby's gonna be here any minute

and it's too late for you to do anything about it.

Probably.

Unless…

Oh, I wish I had a trumpet.

Bring it in, boys!

Whoa.

Sweet ride. Can I take it out?

No.

What's this?

This is the first car Bobby ever won a race in.

I finally found it in a rotted-out old barn in Memphis.

Had to arm wrestle the guy for it. Then I offered him money.

You're telling me that was under $500?

See, here's the thing, Beth. If you're gonna cheat, cheat big.

Ooh, look at that! You look like an angry poodle.

Let me get that.

- Hold on. Okay. It's on me. -

- Okay. - It's turned around on me.

How do you turn it around? I just took a picture of myself.

All right. I got it. I got... No, I just turned my lights off at home.

Hold on a second. How do you...

Hey, Kevin.

- Catherine. -

Look at you! Bobby didn't tell me you were in town.

Everybody. Uh, this is Catherine. This is Bobby's daughter.

Uh, this is Jake, our driver.

- Hello. - No.

- Uh, this is Beth. - Oh, yeah. We've met.

You're the office manager, and you love… something.

Ah. I'm sorry. I don't remember, but I know you love something.

It was something weird.

Oh, it's not weird, but I do collect Pez dispensers.

Yes.

Yeah. A lot of people do it. It's a pretty big Facebook group.

- Oh, hey, Chuck. You still a big hunter? - Hey.

Hell yeah. What you need? I can get you anything with four legs.

Does an ex-boyfriend and his Instagram model wife count?

I was thinking more like a deer or a rabbit, but, hey, you do you.

This is Amir. He's our chief engineer.

He bought your dad tickets to a musical for his birthday.

Guess I don't need to learn your name.

Eleven Tonys.

- There's my girl! - Oh.

Happy birthday, Bobby!

- Happy birthday, Bobby! - Oh, thank you.

Doesn't seem like anyone knew I was coming.

Yeah. I might not have mentioned it.

- Dad! - Is everything okay?

Yeah. It's fine.

Could I have everyone's attention for a minute, please?

Now, first off, thanks for the party.

When you're driving a race car without a helmet in your teens,

you don't expect to end up with a seven in front of your age.

I'm 70.

All right, so say that.

Anyway, I've made a decision. Before I tell y'all, don't anyone panic.

Well, I think I speak for the group when I say we're panicked.

Well, it's been a great ride.

But before I cross that finish line in the sky,

there's some things I wanna do.

Go to Hawaii.

Do one of them things with the… the pig and the dancing.

Uh, what do they call those things?

Bobby, are you shutting us down?

Oh, no, no, no. Luau!

Luau.

No, no. I wouldn't dream of shuttin' this place down.

That's why Catherine's here. She's moving back home and taking over.

Guys, meet your new boss.

Hey.

Hey, guys, how 'bout a nice round of applause for Catherine?

Huh?

Hey, welcome… welcome to the team.

- I, uh, I bought you a car. - Oh.

Yeah.

- - I figured you'd wanna talk.

Hope you don't mind if our old friend Jack Daniels joins the conversation.

- It's 11:00 a.m. I just had some cake. - Is that a yes?

Oh, I gotta pretend to put up a fight, right?

Hey, now, why didn't you tell me you were steppin' down?

'Cause you'd have begged me to change my mind.

I'm not gonna beg you unless you think it would really work.

And if you do think it would work, be very sure

because once I drop to my knees, it's a whole thing getting back up.

I've lost a step, Kevin.

Twenty years ago we were fightin' to lead the pack.

Now we're fightin' to be in the middle.

But that's racing, all right? I mean, it's ups and downs.

2014, I don't think we finished a race.

2015, we opened the season winning Daytona.

It's not just that.

I used to live for race day. I was always the first one at the track.

Smell of the gas, the burning rubber.

Those little… little hot dog things.

Corn dogs?

Oh, never mind. I watch half the races on TV now.

But you're one of the guys who built this sport.

Pigs in a blanket!

There you go. See? You haven't lost a step.

Half of racing is computers now.

Things are changing, and I'm not sure I can.

You can change.

Hey, remember when you used to call all the women "skirts"?

And then you got an email from that woman's lawyer?

And… you changed.

I hope you're not worried about Catherine.

She went to Stanford. She's got a ton of smart ideas.

The last thing we need around here are ideas.

I mean, they only screw things up.

It's like rice, right?

Perfectly fine for 5,000 years, and then someone says, "Hey,

let's make it out of cauliflower."

Trust me. With your instincts and her brains,

you'll give Gibbs and Hendrick a run for their money.

I don't... I think we had a pretty good run without brains.

I hope you don't think any of this is a reflection on you.

You're the heart of this team, okay? No one sets up a car like you.

That is true.

And morale has never been better.

I am loved. You're making it pretty hard to argue with you.

Plus, you found Jake.

Hell of a driver,

even if he is as dumb as an inbred possum.

I don't know about an inbred possum,

but maybe like a raccoon who's gonna graduate late.

You and Catherine are gonna get along like pineapple and ham.

Look, I'm sorry. I can't stop thinkin' about luaus.
