BEEF 1x3

1. Wow. Sounds like a rough night.

2. I mean, we've had bad fights.

3. It's been a while.

4. Definitely before June was born.

5. But I don't know, I just...

6. I don't understand why she was so angry.

7. No, and like I said, that was totally out of line.

8. Honestly?

9. I can't even enjoy anything vanilla since her comment.

10. I'm sorry.

11. I've just been really stressed about the deal.

12. But it won't happen again.

13. I've found ways to manage my stress.

14. What have you found works for you?

15. Well, you know, I just close my eyes

16. and clear my head, and focus on my breathing.

17. Stupid yuppy-ass house.

18. My mind wanders to some silly places sometimes

19. - but it's okay. - Fuck!

20. The human brain, wow, right?

21. That's great, Amy.

22. I've been telling her to meditate for years.

23. I've sent her so many links.

24. And thank you for the links, George.

25. George, have you noticed a change?

26. I mean, we've been doing better since the fight.

27. But all those things she said can't be coming out of nowhere, right?

28. I mean, got to dig a little deeper.

29. Right?

30. Now, Amy, when he says that

31. and you hear him saying that, what does that make you want to say?

32. Cards on the table?

33. I wanna say he's right.

34. You know, my dad held a lot in.

35. Chinese guy from the Midwest, I mean, communication wasn't his forte.

36. He'd just bottle up everything inside until it just exploded out at once.

37. Fuck!

38. Fucking God!

39. My mom, she wasn't any better.

40. Fuck!

41. She thought that talking about your feelings

42. was the same thing as complaining.

43. She told me the first time she heard birds singing

44. was when she came to America,

45. because during the Vietnam War, they ate all the birds.

46. Can you imagine what that does to a person? No birds.

47. It's hard to admit, but...

48. I think growing up with my parents taught me to repress all my feelings.

49. - Breakthrough moment, babe. - No.

50. Amy, that's very...

51. self-aware.

52. Thank you.

53. You know, when we're stressed,

54. we revert to the pathways we created as children.

55. No. Yeah, I mean, it all comes down to parents

56. and I'm excited to dig into that.

57. But acknowledging this is just the first step.

58. In order to create new neural pathways,

59. we have to uncover what lies underneath our awareness.

60. Right.

61. I think maybe subconsciously

62. that's why I leave most of Junie's caretaking in George's hands.

63. Maybe part of me is afraid that I'll create in Junie the same, uh...

64. What was it you called it?

65. neural pathways that my parents did in me.

66. But I don't wanna live like that anymore.

67. - I don't wanna live in fear.

68. - Oh, fuck. - I've been holding a lot in,

69. - but I'm not anymore. - Shit.

70. I know it's gonna take a lot of work,

71. but I really think this is the start of a new chapter for our family.

72. What am I doing?

73. - I'm really glad we did this. - Yeah.

74. Me too.

75. Paul.

76. Hey.

77. Yo.

78. Yo, Paul, I need to talk to you, dude.

79. Turn that down.

80. Paul, turn that down.

81. Paul, turn that shit off, dude. I almost lit a baby on fire!

82. Sounds like you and Isaac are killing it.

83. Yo, why is this place so clean?

84. Where you going? What's with all the new clothes and shit?

85. Me and Kayla been talking.

86. If you see something you like, you go get it.

87. Right, bro?

88. She wasn't a bot.

89. The fuck is happening right now?

90. Fuck!

91. Look at this stupid shit.

92. So happy.

93. Mom, smile bigger.

94. Oh. Gosh, she's so strict.

95. You should've seen her at the baby cow farm.

96. Mom, stop moving.

97. Mom.

98. - Is everything okay? - Everything's fine.

99. Yeah, let's have a group hug and take a family selfie.

100. Good call, babe. Lighting's great right now.

101. I know.

102. Ready? Okay, say "cheese!"

103. - Cheese! - Cheese!

104. Can I see?

105. Yeah.

106. - Babe, are my cheeks getting bigger? - No, honey. They're the same.

107. - Can I see it again? - Look at this.

108. Junie, oh, my gosh!

109. I love what you painted, honey.

110. This is so good.

111. Junie, this is beautiful.

112. It's not done yet.

113. Mommy has to head to a meeting

114. but when I come home we'll finish this then.

115. And, you know, pretty soon

116. I'll get to spend every day with you all the time.

117. - Okay? - Okay.

118. Yeah?

119. I'll be back soon.

120. Hey. Good luck with Jordan today.

121. I hope she's over the chair.

122. Tell her we can sell her some other pieces if that helps.

123. Thanks, babe. That means a lot.

124. I talked to Naomi and she thinks I just have to go over there

125. - and kiss the ring a little bit. - Ah.

126. Yeah. Do not forget to set the alarm, okay?

127. Amy, we don't have to live in fear of that handyman.

128. If I see him around, I'm gonna rough him up.

129. - Okay. - You think I'm joking.

130. God, we thank you for this Sunday.

131. We thank you for inviting us here today to gather in your presence.

132. We thank you for who you are and what you've done.

133. Thank you for the cross. We thank you for Jesus.

134. Lord Father God, we come to you...

135. Hi. Pastor Kim.

136. Great to have you. Welcome.

137. that you can take us in our brokenness and our need,

138. and that you meet us here today, Lord.

139. We ask for your spirit to come and fill this place

140. that we might worship you joyfully with all of our hearts.

141. Come on, church.

142. Jesus, heavenly God, please be with my brother,

143. our new family member.

144. We ask you to shower him with your unconditional love.

145. Thank you.

146. You gotta understand.

147. George is just very attached to the Tamago.

148. - He had it all through his childhood— - Yeah.

149. "Tomah-go."Tomay-go."

150. Let's talk about your business, Amy.

151. - Yeah, the business. - Mm-hm.

152. You know, it's so crazy, I read this article

153. about how millennials can't afford to have kids,

154. so they're satisfying their need to nurture with plants—

155. Have you ever been to China?

156. Uh...

157. Yeah. Once when I was 6.

158. Only once.

159. Next time you're there,

160. you have to check out the beaches of Sanya.

161. - Oh. Sanyaaas. - Yeah!

162. - Yes.

163. See, that's what I'm talking about. That's how they do business over there.

164. Spending time together, laughing.

165. Here in the West, it's deal points, numbers.

166. Oh, yeah, yeah.

167. I definitely prefer how they do business...

168. - over there. Yup. - Mm.

169. Five-minute reminder.

170. Pardon me.

171. I have to go check out some panic rooms.

172. Smart. I mean, there's a lot to panic about these days.

173. Right? Did Naomi show you that road rage video?

174. The world's gone completely insane.

175. She did. It's really terrible.

176. Why don't you stick around for a while? We'll continue this when I get back, yeah?

177. Let me check my schedule first.

178. You know, Amy, the thing is, even if the deal looks great on paper,

179. we still need to get to know each other as humans.

180. Make sure we both feel good about this, right?

181. Right.

182. Good.

183. I'll be back soon. Make yourself at home.

184. Hey.

185. - I'm so glad you made it out. - Good to see you again, Daniel.

186. Man, you were great up there.

187. That F sharp you hit was crazy.

188. - Oh. Thank you.

189. How are you feeling? You doing okay?

190. Yeah, I think I just...

191. Think I just needed a good cry or something.

192. I'm sorry, I didn't know what that was about.

193. You don't have to apologize.

194. Yeah, I actually break down all the time up there.

195. You can let it out.

196. I appreciate that.

197. Will we be seeing you regularly?

198. Um, I live kind of far so—

199. I think I just needed it this one time.

200. Well, Edwin always says, "A church alive is worth the drive."

201. Right.

202. I do say that.

203. At least fill out a welcome form.

204. - Yeah, okay. - Okay, good. Uh—

205. Form.

206. Right, okay.

207. I can do a form.

208. All right.

209. You need to get a pen too.

210. You guys got Friday night basketball?

211. - We do. - Thank you.

212. It gets pretty competitive, though.

213. - Be forewarned. - Okay.

214. You guys got D1 players playing with you?

215. No, no, but we're good, so...

216. Mm.

217. She's using the deal as leverage.

218. I don't wanna hang out.

219. Just give me the money, lady!

220. Look, we can do date night anytime

221. and we can do our intimacy exercise later.

222. Remember what Dr. Lin said.

223. We owe it to ourselves to stay positive.

224. Say it with me.

225. - We owe it to ourselves to stay positive. - We owe it to ourselves to stay positive.

226. Amy?

227. Hello, you still there?

228. This bitch is wild.

229. George, she has this room full of, like, actual crowns.

230. She's fucking crazy.

231. Babe, don't be mean.

232. I'm actually jealous. What a home.

233. Treat it like a staycation.

234. Yeah. No, you're right. I shouldn't complain.

235. See? There you go.

236. Take it all in.

237. I took a photo at the dinner.

238. It was the cutest plant I've ever met.

239. Hold on. Let me send.

240. Yeah?

241. Oh, shit.

242. Amy, I can explain.

243. - I was just saving the captions—

244. Wow.

245. Thank you, Daniel.

246. We've been meaning to get someone to fix this.

247. It's nothing. It was the least I could do.

248. So, what brought you down to Orange County?

249. Are things slow this time of year?

250. - Slow? - Yeah.

251. Uh, no, things are fast.

252. It's fast times. Boom market.

253. We could have you do some repairs around here.

254. We'd pay, of course.

255. We'd love to support a Korean-owned small business.

256. Don't even worry about it. You know, I love to support nonprofits.

257. I do a lot of charity work.

258. Thank you, brother.

259. So glad you joined our congregation.

260. Me too.

261. Is it still...

262. a little crooked?

263. Hello?

264. Um, hi.

265. Hi.

266. Hello.

267. So who made your day so shitty and where do I have to go to beat them up?

268. Um, it's just my boss.

269. I hate having to put her feelings before mine all the time.

270. Old people are stupid like that,

271. taking it out on us because they regret their life decisions.

272. Totally.

273. What else do you hate?

274. Uh, gosh, you know, it's a—

275. No one's ever asked me that before.

276. Um...

277. Well, to be honest, uh...

278. I hate pretending that I don't hate things.

279. Like what?

280. Mm.

281. Like work.

282. I— I hate work.

283. I wish I could just, like, do nothing all day.

284. Not have to worry about money.

285. Yo, you're way too hot to be worrying about money.

286. Yeah, you know, I do some modeling,

287. but it's not my passion.

288. You even sound hot.

289. All right. What about you, Paul? What do you hate?

290. If I'm being real with you...

291. kind of hate my brother right now.

292. - Right, your brother. - I don't really wanna talk about it.

293. Well, you know, for what it's worth,

294. you sound way cooler than him.

295. You know, this might sound sort of, um—

296. Actually, I don't care how it sounds.

297. I know we've been only DMing for a couple days,

298. but I feel like I've been DMing you my whole life.

299. I really like you.

300. Kayla?

301. - You there? Kayla? - What the fuck am I doing?

302. Oh, my God.

303. - You scared me. - My apologies.

304. Jordan got called into a work emergency and has to reschedule,

305. but feel free to stay as long as you please.

306. He says, like, things must be slow this time of year.

307. Like, what? Like, don't come at me because I'm your girl's first.

308. What you gonna do about it?

309. I don't know. What can I do?

310. He leads Praise Team. He's untouchable.

311. "He leads Praise Team. He's untouchable."

312. Dude, touch him wherever the fuck you want.

313. So you ain't gonna do shit, like with the road rage bitch?

314. She's got private security money, okay?

315. - Like— - Fuck that.

316. You know what? I don't care.

317. 'Cause today, man... I really felt something today.

318. Oh, yeah?

319. It's like I actually felt God's presence.

320. Well, Jesus did all those nice things, look what they did to him.

321. Dude, you gotta relax, man. Just let this chair do its thing.

322. This is how they make Kobe beef.

323. - Yeah, shake that shit.

324. - I know what will cheer you up. - What?

325. Dude, check this out.

326. Look at that.

327. - You made shirts? - Fuck, yeah, I made shirts.

328. Chosen Ones, bitch.

329. I got one for you too. Try it on.

330. What size is this?

331. It's Size P for "perfect."

332. Put that shit on, dude.

333. And I filed those incorporation papers under my name.

334. Took that shit off your plate.

335. Ugh. What's the point of all this, anyway?

336. Man, I always do the right thing, and look where it's gotten me.

337. You know there's contractors out there that are scammers?

338. - Mm-hmm. - And I'm sitting here,

339. fixing church stuff for free.

340. See, that's your problem, man. You're too nice.

341. I live by four words only.

342. "Pro bono? No bono."

343. - Yo, Isaac. - Yo, what up, Kane?

344. - Thanks for the OB, man. - No worries, bro.

345. - Sick chairs, right? - Dude, I fucking love this shit.

346. Uncle hooked it up.

347. - Tell him I say what's up. - For sure.

348. - I got them wholesale. - What?

349. - Got seven more in the back. - Oh.

350. You know what? I'm going to take two, all right?

351. - All right. - One for me and sexy boy over there.

352. - Two tans. I wanna match. Yeah. - Two matching? You got it.

353. Yo, seriously, man?

354. Chosen Ones, motherfucker.

355. How much longer do we have?

356. Oh, 22 minutes.

357. Dr. Lin wants us to do the full 30.

358. Junie kept working on her painting all night.

359. Well, she gets all her talent from you, so...

360. What's wrong, Amy?

361. Hey.

362. Hey, it's okay. You can talk to me.

363. Is this about the Mia photo?

364. Babe, I swear there was nothing to it.

365. No, George. Um—

366. There's this, um...

367. feeling...

368. I've had for a long time.

369. Um...

370. I don't remember... when it started.

371. I can't pinpoint exactly when or why...

372. but it feels like the ground...

373. But like, um—

374. Like— But like right here.

375. - Um...

376. It never goes away.

377. When I was in college, I tried to get help, I did.

378. I saw the psychiatrist, and he put me on antidepressants,

379. but all it did was mute it.

380. Like, it took the sound off, but it kept on playing, you know, and, uh...

381. - I'm sorry, I'm just babbling. - No, no, no.

382. I want you to talk to me about this.

383. Yeah, and, George, I do.

384. You know, I want to, but, uh...

385. Look, I love that we're so... complementary.

386. But sometimes, it feels like if I tell you things, you're just...

387. You're not gonna understand.

388. Of course, I do.

389. I know a lot of people who battled depression and won.

390. No, it's not—

391. - Never mind. - No, really, I understand.

392. And I get down too.

393. Like, I never pictured myself being a stay-at-home dad, you know.

394. I never thought my art would be secondary to anything.

395. But I embrace the sadness.

396. I mean, since we're both being vulnerable,

397. I admit, sometimes I think about what my life would have been like

398. had you and I never met.

399. Wow. I never knew you felt that way.

400. Yeah. I guess I'm just sharing,

401. because I want you to know you're not alone.

402. You can share anything.

403. Yeah, I know.

404. Thank you. Thank you for sharing, George.

405. You're welcome.

406. Yeah. No, I know it's a lot of money,

407. but I plan on doing the renovations myself to the property,

408. so it's a sound investment.

409. It's not for me. It's for my parents. I'm moving them back from Korea.

410. Well, keep in mind, Mr. Cho, you don't have the best credit.

411. Right, yeah.

412. Um, when I was 18, I went to BR for cargo pants,

413. and next thing I knew, I was signed up for a credit card.

414. - BR? - Banana Repub—

415. How long would it take for me to be approved for a mortgage?

416. Don't I need, like, 20%?

417. The down payment would be 100,000,

418. but you'd also need to demonstrate a consistent income

419. and a healthy checking balance.

420. Now, on the track you're on, we could maybe consider you in,

421. I don't know, seven years.

422. Look, I don't think you understand.

423. My parents are getting old, okay?

424. And this land is not gonna be available much longer.

425. I don't understand why everyone else gets approved for a loan but me.

426. Mr. Cho, I think you'll find this answer consistent at whatever bank you may visit.

427. Look, if you can come up with a down payment,

428. then maybe this is a conversation that we can have.

429. Okay. No, I understand. Um...

430. Thank you. Yeah, thank you for your time.

431. Yeah, no problem.

432. Actually, while I have you,

433. my church was looking to do some repairs.

434. - Would they be able to get a loan? - We can look into it.

435. Uh-huh.

436. I think it's your best one yet.

437. - Should we put this up on the wall? - It's not done yet.

438. No, it's perfect, Junie.

439. - Come on, let's put it up. - Okay.

440. - Babe? - Yep?

441. I think Jordan's here.

442. Amy, I figured it would be best to discuss the term sheet in person.

443. Hey, I'm sorry about last night.

444. - Did you miss me? - Yeah, I really did.

445. Hey, Jordan, am I reading this right? You want me to stay on?

446. A hold back period of five years and withholding equity?

447. I brought some honey on the side.

448. Perfect.

449. Thank you, Joji.

450. - Thanks, George. - Mm-hm.

451. Jordan, this isn't what we discussed. Okay?

452. - I had no intention of staying on. - I know, I know, I know.

453. But, honey, you are the face of the brand.

454. The board feels that's an important deal point.

455. Well, I was planning on spending time with my family.

456. Sweetie, I know.

457. But it's not up to me. It's the board.

458. You know what? Tomorrow is our annual Vegas conference.

459. Come, talk to some of them.

460. Take my jet, bring your family.

461. I mean...

462. Amy, listen to me.

463. I know this is not what you want.

464. You want more.

465. So just trust me. You're gonna thank me later.

466. So many toys.

467. This is why we have wives.

468. How much will the materials cost?

469. Um, you know, if I was guessing, 100K, 120K, give or take.

470. I mean, it's a lot,

471. but we have been talking about taking out a loan for renovations.

472. It's the only way we can keep up with megachurches.

473. Right. I mean, it is an investment for sure.

474. And what's the cost of your labor?

475. I'd be doing this pro bono for the church.

476. - You're an angel. Thank you. - Yeah, of course.

477. Um, it was Edwin's idea, so...

478. - I'll talk to the elders. - Yes.

479. - Appreciate it, Danny. - Of course.

480. That face. No, you were perfect. You were perfect.

481. I really felt like the spirit was moving through all of us today, for sure.

482. So I was thinking for next week, um,

483. we'd start with "This I Believe,"

484. and then maybe end with "Oceans," guys.

485. Remember, we have practice at 7 p.m., the same rehearsal space—

486. Danny.

487. You still play?

488. A little bit.

489. Yeah, she showed up at my house, unannounced.

490. There's no way I can even consider the offer, right?

491. No, no. Of course not.

492. But it is a really nice offer, though.

493. Then, yeah.

494. A nice offer should be considered,

495. if that's, you know, what you're considering.

496. - That's the thing about— - Uh, Mia, will you go stock the back?

497. - Oh. Sure. - Thanks.

498. Uh, hi. Can I help you?

499. Hey. I love the store.

500. - Thank you. Anything I can help you with? - Yes, actually.

501. Does a Kayla Lexington work here?

502. No.

503. No, I've never heard of her.

504. Oh. It's funny 'cause I— I was, um—

505. I just, uh—

506. - Sorry for wasting your time. - It's all right. Have a nice day.

507. Hey, could you recommend a succulent

508. that, like, don't need no light, little water—?

509. Here, take this, on the house.

510. - Seriously? I don't know what to say. - Yeah.

511. You don't have to say anything. Just have a great day.

512. Amy, you wanna take a look at these new sansevieria.

513. - Kayla. It's me. - What?

514. - Sir, you have to leave. - Is this your asshole boss?

515. Paul, come here.

516. Okay.

517. Her name is not Kayla. It's Mia.

518. And I just screen-grabbed her photos and sent them to you.

519. Okay. So you were catfishing me?

520. No. It—

521. I don't know. Okay? I—

522. I'm a mess.

523. Okay?

524. I guess I didn't want you to know who I really am.

525. I did really like talking to you, though. I did, you know. You—

526. You're gonna make someone very happy one day.

527. I know this isn't what you expected.

528. I know I'm no fucking Kayla,

529. with her perky tits and her taut ass.

530. She's probably sopping wet—

531. I think you're hotter than Kayla.
