"All the other girls wanted to marry Zack Morris." "But I loved Pete weber." "Pete accomplished more by the time he was 30 than 99% of all athletes in any other sport ever will." "Dad idolized Pete." "Maybe in a few too many ways." "Oh, if you're wondering why I'm using the past tense." "Well, my dad..." "He died." "Sure, he wasn't perfect." "But I think maybe he was just lonely." "He always had me though, his little girl." "[Cassandra in recording] He'd get back from the lanes just so frustrated or happy or whatever and just want to spend time with me." "No more pins, no more score sheets." "No more expectations." "Just me and him and the movies." "We had the usual back then of course." ""Airplane," "caddyshack," "blazing saddles."" "[Recording] But as the years went on a clear favorite emerged," ""the big Lebowski."" "So in just under a month, just like every year," "I'll break away from my snoozefest network ad sales job and cover Louisville's own, Lebowski fest." "So, if you think about it, maybe make a special point to come say hi this year." "It is after all the first time after 30 years that my best friend won't be right there by my side." "Because now, he's gone." "And I'm just lonely too." "[Chuckles]" "Pete Weber..." "This is really all his fault." "My third decade of existence is rapidly coming to a close and what do I have to show for it?" " Well, look, girl..." " I read something earlier." "Oh, no, Cass, please, don't." "It said the average age of marriage for a female professional college graduate in the Southern region of the United States is 26." " You told me." " Yeah." "Two-six." " I mean, between 26 and 30." " That's why I don't read." "Well, you're seeing that one guy." "What's his name?" "Mister perfect game." "Danny." "Oh, Donnie?" "Yeah, you said he was pretty dreamy, right?" "Forget marriage." "Aim low." " Low." "Easy." "Boyfriend status." "Okay?" "We'll go from there." "Baby steps, best friend." "Baby steps." " Uh-huh." "Plus, you said he's gorgeous." "And he bowled a what?" "A high bowl... score." " Right?" " Mm-hmm." "You're so pretty." "Of course." " Barrels all around, sir." " All right then, here we go." "Crunch time, boys." "Less than a month to montage it up." "We gotta show that son of a..." "Practice practice nonstop till we're outbowling these jerks in our sleep." "[Man #2] Man, you're taking this awfully personal." "He's the Lando to my Han, shuttle boy." "You're damn right I'm taking it personal." " Now let's bowl." " You guys bowl in your sleep." "Look, Cassie, the last thing you wanna do is get married." "I've done it like, twice now, trust me." "So, just forget about it, and let's concentrate on getting you" " a date with Donnie again." " You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right." "It's perfect." "I'll just get Donnie to marry me in the next 29 days before I turn 30." " Wait, I'm not sure..." " Mm-hmm." " Wow." "Says the girl showing some initiative." " Give her some credit." " Thanks." "I mean, come on, you two." "The timing's perfect, okay?" "And the universe is clearly speaking to me." "It's fate because in the next 29 days" "I will not only be way past 26," "I'm gonna be out of my frickin' 20s completely." "So, that's it, that's how much time I have to find a suitable lifemate." "Maybe it's Donnie, [Belches] Maybe it's not." "But it's a pretty good start." "So now, I need to fall in love with him, convince him that he has fallen in love with me then there's the plot and give some elaborate..." " Oh, my god." " Who the hell is that?" "Oh, my god, oh, my god, I can't believe it." "It's fate." "I told you." "It's him." "You are talking about the attractive one, right?" " Oh, my god, is that..." " Pete Weber?" " No." "Julie, that's him." "That's Donnie." "Huh?" "Oh... oh, yeah." "With the guys from the movies store." " Mm-hmm." " That's weird." "Hey, is that..." "Is that the chick from TV?" "Yeah, I think." "That... that's her." "Oh, wow, yeah." "Come on, pick up your jaw, lover boy." " It's your turn." "All right, come on, go for it then." " Okay." " Wait, wait." "Hold the phone." "Wait." "You're on board with this?" " Oh, hell yeah." "This is..." "this is the first set" " of goofy guys..." " Jules, she's right." "I mean..." "Today, all this," "I just feel sort of numb, okay?" "So, let's do something fun." "I need it, right?" "I don't know." "Let's get me hitched." "Okay." "All right." "Yeah, fine." "Yeah." " Yeah?" "Great - yeah, sure." "Come on, tits up, ass out." " Oh, god!" "I told you, man, I'm no good at this, dude." "Yeah, well, you better get good." " You're stressing me out." " [Man #2] I love you, man, but dude, this is a little too much." "What the hell is he doing?" "And what's the deal with anybody says "calm down"" "you freak out." "You know how important it is that we just..." "You know that..." "That we win this thing." "So just, don't tell me to calm down, right?" "Or chill out." "Or take it easy." "So, all right, who wants a beer?" " What?" " Yeah, dude." "How are we still beerless?" "Go on, or do you want me to give that pony a little test ride first?" "Oh, uh." " No." " Okay." "Four, Mike." "I'm sorry." "Um..." "Well, this might very well come off the wrong way..." "Yeah, I'm on television." "Oh, no, I was actually, I think..." "Don't..." "Haven't I seen you?" "Me?" "Oh." "You work at the video store, right?" "Oh, right, yeah." "It's just so funny seeing people outside the store." "[Mumbling]" "Oh, my gosh." "I'm so sorry." "So, you like beer, huh?" "Yeah." "Yeah, these barrels especially." "Barrels?" " Oh, the beer, it's made in bourbon... -yeah." "[Stammers] So, they used to do in the..." " you know what, never mind, it's dumb." " Oh." "Mm-hmm." "So, you guys getting some frames in tonight?" "Oh, no, no, no." "Just boozing it up." "Ladies' night, you know?" "Bad beer, bad service." "Don't people know not to come in here?" " [Mike] Hey, I heard that." " Oh, no man." "No, not you." "It's from "desperado." She was just..." " Quoting." " Thank you." ""Sorrya."" "It was either "sorry" or "see ya"" " and then finish." " Could you be any more lame?" "I know." "I am the most awkward human being alive." "What are you, starstruck?" "Yep, totally her." " Who's up?" " Oh." "You, dick face." "Ah." "Look at her." "She's emotionally wrecked." "Who knows what's going on upstairs." "I say we ride this out." "I think we need to encourage her." "Look it's gonna be fun, and I bet it'll even end up being just a little bit good for her." "Maybe even for us too." " Yes." " I bet you $100 he can go from now through the tournament speaking in just movie quotes." " Are you serious?" " Think about it. $100." "Can't make it from now till the tournament." "I'd almost feel dirty taking your money, okay?" " Almost." " Don't do it." ""You don't beat the person, you beat the pins."" ""Dreamer," '79."

" Are you all right?" " Oh." "What are you doing?" " Brandy." " Oh." "Watch where you're going." "Hey, Donnie." "Can I bum a smoke?" "What the hell is she doing here?" " Shouldn't she be in bed?" " Well, friend, it looks like that is exactly what she's working on." "I have some and you can have them." "Leave." "Miss you." "Sorry." "That was my bad all the way." "I spilled my beer there earlier." "No, no, no." "It's fine." "Gravity hates me." "So I fall down a lot and um..." " Anyway, my name is Sheldon." " Hi." " This is Chris." " Hello." "Oh, what was your name?" "I didn't catch it before." "Uh..." "Well..." "I'm Batman." "[Giggling]" "Oliver." "I'm sorry, his name is Oliver." "Oh." "Cassie." "So, do you guys come here often?"

"[Chris] Well, that's great, you guys have all already met." "So, if you'll excuse us we do have some serious business" " to get back to, so." " Oh, right." "Sure, of course." " Right, boys?" " Gotta bowl it up." " So..." " We're around." "All right." "That's what you do when you're at the bowling alley." "Bowling." " It's good to see you." " Thank you." "I like your eyebrows." "[Chris] He's like a child that wanders in the middle of a movie night." "Donnie!" "Hey." "Hey, baby." "How's my girl?" "Sweetie, what's the matter?" "What's the matter?" "Ah, dad's funeral was today." "Now, come on, now that you're finally home let's go out and cheer up a bit, huh?" "What do you say?" "No." "Did you go out to that bowling alley?" "Maybe." " What'd I tell you?" " Whatever." "And you're 50 years old." "You're not going out." "Mama did tell you not to go to that bowling alley." "It's not my fault you're all extra sad now." "[Sighs] They released a study, mama." "Mm, I read the same paper you do, pumpkin, remember?" "I saw it." "I've been waiting on you for years to get married and all of a sudden it's in print it's worthy of your attention." "I know." "Anyway, that range went all the way up to 30." "I never married."

"Hey, and besides, Marcel Marceau there has a few crap jobs." "Does he catch this much hell?" "I think not." "Yeah, I don't know." "Señor Marceau over here wants to know your thoughts on our new friend from last night." "Oh, well, you know, I've always been more of a Mary Ann over ginger kind of guy." "No, dude, the other one." " Clumsy." "She was hot, I guess, for a white girl." "I mean..." "And she seemed cool, too." "You know, I mean hot as in good looking, cool..." "Figure it out." "Well, I'm not sure but I'm thinking maybe our buddy Ollie here might be sweet on her too." " Ah." " Bonus oddity, seems like she's in the store a lot, and yet somehow I've never met her before." "Hmm." "Doesn't seem so strange to me, you know, because all you do is sit in the back room and play with yourself." " [Giggles]" " I'm a manager, I'm managing." "Well, thank you once again for your impeccable service..." "I can't hear you." "Not sure what you're saying." "Please extend my compliments to the chef." "It's delicious chocolate drink."

"While there aren't as many people watching bowling as there used to be." "It's still a metric butt ton more than we tend to get for that time slot so we're gonna shoot the tourney live" " oh, my god!" " For the PBA." "[Squealing] What?" "Get out!" "I'm..." "I got really excited, I love you." " I know." " Okay, let's hold hands." "Hi, I'd like to buy a movie..." "Can you help me?" "Okay, so it has that guy from that movie with that girl and they were in love." "And they were in love and..." ""no, you can't help me" or you don't have the movie?" ""Unfortunately it is out of print."" "So, can you maybe like, order it for me?" "Oh, my god!" ""Out of print" means out of effing print!" "It is no longer produced for retail sale."

"Anyway, you talk about where you work a lot and we just put two and two together after seeing you out with action news," "Julie Simms, last night." "Yeah." "She's a character." "So... well, thanks." "But I prefer, anti-critic." "It's silly but I try to play up the good ones the real critics gave a bad rap." "It's our spin anyway." "Hey, do you guys have video games?" "You were saying." "Yeah, I just passed a little girl bawling her eyes out." "Did you make her cry?" " You?" " We only torment the ignorant." "We're simply trying to maintain a respectful client base." "I mean, I know you understand." "You started buying Blu-rays" " how many years ago?" " A while." "Yeah." "Plus I've had to work my ass off ever since that guy clammed up." "Look, just 'cause you pour syrup on it, don't make it pancakes." " What is that?" "That's not even..." " Wait." "This whole thing is really starting to backfire." "Is that from, um..." " "Juice."

"Really weird, potentially creepy question" " from me now." " Yes, please." "Okay, would y'all wanna get interviewed sometime for the..." "Oh, for the Lebowski fest podcast coming up." "Well, no promises, but average Joes movies." " I don't know yet, but." " You know what," "I'm actually, I'm really glad that you asked." " Speaking of creepy town, population us." "Uh-huh." "What are you doing later tonight?" "Oh, I don't know." "Why, what's going on?" "Oh, just our weekly board game night!" " Oh." " Super cool, I know." "But it's actually a pretty laid back good time." "Ollie's mom is actually on house arrest again so we're short a person this week." "[Giggles] I don't know, yeah." "It actually sounds really fun." "So, let me know and I'll see if I can pencil you in." "Great, yeah, why don't I," "I'll just write down directions" " for you, just in case." " Cool." "Hmm, why do you got that handy?" "You know what, why don't you just..." "You wanna just text it to me?" "Well, well, well, look at little miss fancy pants." " With the business card here." " So fancy." "Got your name on it and everything." " I do, yeah." " That's nice." "Okay, so yeah, just let me know and you know like, um..." "Well, like..." "Maybe I'll see you later, okay?"

"Seems like everyone's here, right?" " Oh." "Wait, wait." "Sorry." " So, shall we?" " This is everybody?" "Yeah, why, were you expecting..." "Hit me again..."

" Yeah, amongst other things." " Fascinating." "Yeah, he likes to think that he's an actor." "Okay." "It's not as bad as that I might make it sound." "He's actually a pretty decent guy." "I mean, I guess I just assumed he was on the tour, but he's an actor?" " Hmm, great bowler." " Yeah, go figure." "He's also one premium grade" " piece of man ass." " Yeah, that's true." " I mean, he's as dumb as a snowman." " Mm-hmm." "But who needs brains when your other columns are that full." "Yeah, no, it's right up my alley." " Intended." " Nice." " How about this one?" " Mm-hmm." "Speaking of hard wood," " mm-hmm." " Let's hit it." "Well played." "Let's do this." "So, what's going on with the interview." "Not sure yet, but..." "Ooh, can you grab that?" " Yeah." "Of course." " [Mumbles]" "We can talk to you guys about movies, bowling," " stuff you don't really know about." " [Whistles]" "And then I'm gonna turn it into, like..." "Oh." "Well, hey buddy." "Long time no see." "Practicing up for the big tourney?" "Hey, we're just shooting the breeze here." "It's good to see you again." "Where're the guys at?" " Hey, Oliver." " [Whispers] Get out..." "Of this bowling alley." "Yeah, man." "We're on our way." "See you in a few weeks." "And best to Sheldon too." "May the best man..." "Well, you know the rest." "No." "So, what's with pleats McGEE?" "So, big night Saturday, huh?" " Just a make sure Donnie doesn't bump into... -what?" "Or fall off anything, at least until after the tournament." "Okay." "I can hear how ugly that is." "Hey, you found your own place yet?" "Yeah, mommy's looking, pumpkin." "Mm-hmm." "Ugh, yeah, yeah." "Cass pillar." "Just like that." "[Snickers]" "No kidding." "I hate you." "Oh, baby, look, I been..." "Come on, sit down here minute, I wanna talk to you." "Okay." "I loved your daddy." "More than I'll ever be able to let on I think." "He gave me the best thing that ever happened to me." "Of course, you two..." "Oh, you two had something, that's for sure." "You were everything to him." "He would stand by anything you decided to do." "So if this mission thing is that important to you, just go for it." "Okay?" "But Cassie, please, just don't get hurt." "That's my girl." "[Knocking on door]" " Mom, answer that." " You're insane, child." "I nearly got this son of a bitch beat." "[Knocking continues]" "Hi, oh, crap." "I forgot my purse." "[Woman] Oh, you have no idea." "I came this close to beating that son of a bitch and..." "Hello." "Hi." " Hello." " I'm Cassie's mother, Diane." " Pleasure to meet you." " You play video games, huh?" " I do, yeah." "You?" " Okay." "What ya got there?" "Fungus thumb." "Other part." " Pleasure to meet you." " Uh-huh, and you." "Okay." "Okay, great." "Come on, let's go." " Okay." " Y'all have fun now." "Bye." "So, you live with your mom, huh?" "Nope." "She lives with me." "So, what's the plan?" " I just love tacos so much." " Yeah." "I know." " That must get annoying." " Well, you get used to it." " Yeah?" "That's the thing though too sometimes like," "I'll forget that it's on." "And people look at me like I'm a real creep ball." " You know, but yeah." " Yeah." "Anyway, I only do it when I got a gig coming up." " I do have a big gig coming up." " Wow." " Big one." "Cool." "That sounds real interesting." "I don't know much about hand modeling but..." "Oh, cool, you got the same shirt you wore" " the other night." " Oh, no, it's totally different." " Why don't I get these." " There's..." " And we'll head out." " There's... are you..." " Do you want this?" " I don't wanna waste." "Yep." "Um..." "So, what did you think of next?" "Something fun, wild and crazy or..." " No, it's your turn." " Or sort of fun..." "I..." "I got the tacos." " Oh, um..." " Victory!" "Oh, okay." "We could go bowling." "You know, league's just ending and they don't turn on the silly black lights until at nine." "No." " Really?" " Next." " It's just that you're such great bowler." " I'm all right." " All right?" "You bowled perfect game which is pretty amazing." "Just, I mean," " talk about a cuticle ripper, right?" "Oh." "And I wouldn't even bowl period if it wasn't for my cousin, shel..." " Sheldon's my cousin." " Oh." " Long story." " Didn't know that." "Yeah, I wouldn't be bowling at all if not... if I didn't owe him so many favors." " Yeah?" "But the guys are okay, I guess." "Mm-hmm." "Sure." "Yeah." "It's just not really my thing." "[Chuckles]" "I must sound..." "Ah." "Look, listen to me, I..." "I can take it." "I'll just put it with the other one." " Thanks." " That sounds so bad." "I don't know." "It's just, like..." "Bowling's fine, right?" "Just not really my..." "I don't love it." "Yeah." "Okay." "That's fine." "I'll just tell my friend that we can't make it." "You got a friend coming to meet us, huh?" " Yeah." "My friend Joanie." " Cool." " It's Julie's sister." " Joanie..." " Julie's sister." " Uh-huh." " Julie Simms?" " Yeah." " Joanie Simms." " Yeah." "ATL's casting director, Joanie Simms." " Yeah." "She was gonna come meet us tonight?" " She loves to bowl, so yeah." " Let's go... why don't we just go," " I'll... we'll just go for a bit." " You want to?" "Yeah, I'll teach her some stuff." " If she loves it." "Come on." " Okay." "[Music playing]" "♪ No bueno" " go ahead." " Oh, no." " I don't..." " What, are you serious?" "Yeah, I guess I should've mentioned that." "I don't." "Not anymore." "Used to." "I was pretty decent." "Then I broke my wrist cheerleading." " Oh." " Yeah." "So, that was a thing." "My dad was a pro bowler." " Oh, really?" " Yeah." " What position did he play?" " What?" "Did he play quarterback or wide receiver or..." "Are you... are you..." "Wait, really?" "Or is that... what?" "[Both laughing]" " Ah." " You can have those." " That's fine." " Neat." "So, I gotta warn you, I do snore a little bit." "Nice." "Um..." "Good night, Donnie." "Well, ah, wait." "Third time's a charm." " Soon?" " You know, maybe." "Uh..." "Ugh, bye." "Okay, well, um..." "So, tell Joanie that I say hello." "Hey, how'd it go, Cass?" "Well, he took me to the exact same taco joint." "And then I may have lied and said that your sister from actors theater was gonna meet us." "And then I told him I was a cheerleader." "So, I think it went really well." "Okay, I am gonna go vomit now." "Yeah, i..." "I should've been talked out of it." " Because I panicked and I said..." " okay, no, listen." "Cass, Cass, look at me, look at me." "We have been friends for a long time and i... you mean so..." "If you..." "I mean, you don't need to feel like, um..." " Where's that BARISTA?" " Jules, it's your boyfriend." "Cass, for my latte." "Not for you." "And he's off tonight." "No, he's great, Donnie." "Really I mean, he's not all that bad." "And..." "I mean, he's obviously gorgeous." "He's definitely kind of fun to hang out with and he's a really good bowler so I guess that's it." "You know, i..." "He's the guy." "I just, I don't know." "I guess I thought I would feel something..." "Ugh, please, shut up." "I am so tired of this." "Look, there's no such thing as the perfect man, okay?" "Doesn't exist." "Who or whatever created the female species knew what they were doing because they knew what we were in for." "And like it or not, we've longed for the gift of feminine sexuality." " But why?" " I don't, I don't know." "I don't..." "Do you know?" "They knew we could use it." "There are two things that separate us from men." "No, not those." "The first obviously, the brain." "But come on, everyone knows women are smarter than men, right?" "Where's that gotten us?" "Nowhere." " But sex..." " Wait, wait, butt sex?" "No." "Sex is the one thing we have an endless supply of, that men have an endless appetite for." " Yeah, that was touching." " Shut up." "Come on, Cass, it's like you're losing the war and you're still ignoring your best weapon." "Don't look at my boobs." "[Julie] All right, don't make her uncomfortable." "While I don't completely agree with that, you don't really expect us to believe that a girl who has seen as many movies as you have doesn't know from sexy." "I mean, Cass, look at you." "It's almost insulting to the rest of us." "I mean, look see, no man is gonna be the man of your dreams without a little training." "You really are evil incarnate." "Tell my boyfriend that." "[Cassie and Julie] Which one?" "[All laughing]" "[Cass] Coming up on the big tournament game, bowling will surely be intense and the trivia will be trickier than ever." "But we all know the real question, what's everybody wearing?" "Often overlooked, even my cinephiles, nothing can make or break or grab someone's attention" " like a sexy costume." " Hi, I'm looking for a movie." "I'm looking for a movie." "Looking for a movie?" "Name, name, what is the name of the movie you're looking for, huh?" "How are we supposed to know what kind of movie you want?" "You're in a store filled with movies." "So like, could you maybe just be a little bit more specific with your request for which movie you'd like before you become irritated with my good friend and colleague here, hmm?" "Well, how 'bout I talk to your manager." "Oh, the manager?" "Yeah, great idea." "Let me go get him." "Hi, I'm the manager." "Is there something" " we can help you with today?" " You're a little shit." "And a happy holidays to you, sir!" "Look man, I know you're saving up for school and everything, you're way overdoing it with this whole multi-job thing." "I mean, you're overworked, you're undersleeped." "It's really starting to show on that ugly mug of yours." "Wait a minute." "Unless you really are full-on twitterpated with miss Cassie Caulfield, aren't you?" "No time for love, Dr. Jones." "The tournament's in like, two weeks, all right?" "We need to get your priorities straight, you know." "You gotta want it." "That's your problem." "You just, you don't know what you want." "Yeah, look, you don't want to be in love." "You wanna be in love in a movie." "It's "sleepless in Seattle," I know." "Look, you just, you have to understand, okay, guys like us never get the girl." "Ever." "Think of it this way." "Okay, you're the Pullman, right?" "Or the Kinnear more recently." "You're the guy in the movie who has no outstanding flaws, you are sweet, and by all accounts not in anyway unlikeable, right?" "The whole "ugly mug" thing, obviously a joke 'cause you're a pretty handsome cat." "Somehow, some way, you're gonna get screwed over in the end, man." "And I..." "I can't sit back and watch you, you know, sink into the bowels of general cynicism, all right." "I'm there." "Right now." "It sucks." "Okay?" "I... this is gonna sound really gay, truth is you're..." "You're kind of an inspiration, all right?" "No, I mean it." "You're the nicest, most caring guy I've ever met." "Yeah, you're not rocking Swiss accounts, but you know, you're a solid guy." "Solidest guy I know." "Look, all those other girls have no idea what they have their hands on." "All right, I mean, like Emily..." "Look, you know what I'm saying." "Hell, if you fish in my pond..." "Look, you get me." "You're great, okay?" "So, just be Ollie again." "For god's sake." "And one day you write something where you do get the girl in the end." "Just I don't know, for right now, that's all I got." "Just forget it." "You know, just let it flow." "You know, scream it out." "I am average!" "I'm losing my hair and I don't have a car." "I'm flawed." "I'm lonely." "God damn it, I'm human, right?" "And I friggin' love it." "No, no, no, no." "So Donnie can have her, man." "All that Donnies can have all the hers in the world." "Just remember, okay, we'll always have the movies." "In there, a happy ending" " is just..." " [Door chimes]" "A sign of another bad flick, right?" "Where's y'all's Hank Williams tapes?" "[Screaming]" "What's going on, fellas?" "Oh, just a second." "Speak of the devil, look who just invited us to a little holiday shindig at her place?" "♪ Let's get loaded" "♪ let's come party" "♪ let's get loaded" "♪ I've got mine and you'll bring yours ♪" "♪ let's get loaded" "♪ we're going for it" "♪ I'm so excited" "[Julie] How old is this tape, anyway?" "This is dick Weber back in '61." "His first win for bowler of the year." "Oh, you're so smart, babe." "And it's no tape, it's actually on cable, how cool is that?" "[Chris] Greatest of all time, I say." "Well, when did he die, '05?" "Look at that form." " [Cass] Hey, hey, Donnie." " Hmm?" "Can I sit?" "Thanks." "How's it going?" "Are you having fun?" " Not really." " Oh..." " Ooh, your hands are cold." "I like it. -[Chuckles]" "You ever think about you know when," " with the right girl, the sound..." " shh." "[Announcer on tv] Blessed in this respect he gets away with it because he has very narrow hips." "[Gasps] What's happening?" "It's a mint." "Yeah, a friend tells someone when their..." " You know what you are a great friend." " When their breath stinks." " Yep." " Thank you." "You hit me with a straight ball?" "What?" "Are you serious?" "I thought the big curve was the money shot." " Not so much, huh?" " Not back then." " See back then, the ball was..." " Okay!" "That's it, Cassie." "I'll see you..." "Ugh, in a couple days, I guess." " Later in the week." " Wait, you're leaving already?" "Come on, man." "We're learning." "You guys learn." "I'm good." "Seriously, it's Christmas Eve." "Shel, mom's making her meatloaf." "You coming or not?" " Shel?" "Shel?" "Shel." "Shel!" " I think he's good, don." "Next week, though." "9:00." "Be there sharp." "Be there early." "All right?" "Or I'll end you." "Okay, whatever." "Cass, you wanna come for meatloaf?" "Oh, um..." "What?" "You know what, thank you." "No." " I'm fine." " Okay, whatever." " See you, guys." " Good night." "Oh, you just have to pull it." " Hey, there." " Hey." "Hey..." "Yeah, you know what, I don't think that's a bad idea." " I'm gonna head out too." " Aw, really?" "Hey, can we just watch this last matchup, then we can chipmunks something" " and frosty and..." " You guys have fun." "Look, it's Christmas Eve, and I have got some presents to deliver." " Thanks for coming." " All right." " Bye, Jules, be safe." " You too, okay?" "[All] Merry Christmas." "Okay, bye." "[Chris] We're gonna take a shot every time..." "That bastard touches his nose." "Oh, this is way more fun than watching some dumb Christmas movie." " [Chris] Mm-hmm." " [Cass] Hey, you're back." "[Jules] Hey, Julie, we need to talk." "But give me one of those shots first." "Yeah, take a shot every time that guy right there touches his nose." "And there you go." "[Sheldon] Oh, you're back." "[Cass] Julie, you're back." "Hey." " What's that?" "Take a shot every time that guy touches his nose." "Ah, right now." "God, he's touching his nose, did you see that?" "Oh, that." "Shot." "[Exclaiming]" "[Chattering]" " How are you doing?" "You think working in a coffee shop is bad?" "Like, you should try dealing with all these stupid, local fans all the time." "I mean, they have mullets and they just follow me around and I can't even go to like, the mall." "Look, you people, know nothing about work." "Thirty-seven different places of employment for me." "I've been working since I was 12." "I've served food, I've mopped floors," "I've sold cars." "But the most memorable job that I've ever had by far was at the den." "Ladies and gentlemen, you have not fully lived until you've been the inventory captain of an adult toy super store." "Imagine, if you will, screaming across a room the size of a football field." ""Hey there, Billy." "What was the last count on those pocket rockets?" "No, no, no, no." "Not that one." "The other one, the one with the rotators." "For her pleasure?"" "[Laughing]" "[Cass] What is that from?" " Oh, holy crap, Ollie." " I touched the time." "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Time, dude." "He just called the time, dog." " Oh, my god." "Dude." " Easy, mothersucka!" "Hey, guys, I think he passed out." "Wait, let me see, let me see, let me see." "Oh, wow." "He lost a lot of weight." " He was a pretty big boy." " [Car horn honks]" "Now, he just keeps that in there for inspiration." "[Chris] Oh, my god, there's a cab outside." "All right, I'm gonna get the coats." "Hey, hey." "There's something we need to tell our girl about the dreamy guy and his fondness for slutty jailbait." " Wait, are you serious?" " Yes." "Okay, he's playing his weight." " 'Cause maybe it was nothing." " It was something." "Attaboy, head in the game, I like it." " Bye, guys." " My idea." " Merry Christmas." " Oh." "Hey, hey." "Oh, baby." "Listen, thanks for a wonderful evening." "No bueno." "Every waking second between now and the tournament is strictly practice." "So, we got a demon to defeat." " I'm sure you understand." " I'll call you." "[Julie] She's such a smart girl." "This article has really gotten to her." "Stop it, you and I both know it's not just about that, okay?" "I mean, look, sometimes the smartest road ain't always the best way to get where you're going, you know." "Sometimes it's the things we learn along those..." "Windy, scary, kinda crazy roads that make for a good road trip." "Well, well." "Look who's kinda gotten all wise in her old age." " I will bite your feet off." " I'm sorry." "Look, she's a big girl, she can take care of herself." "Okay?" "So you just need to stop worrying about it and get some sleep." " Don't touch my knee." " [Giggles]" "Quit it." "[Loud crash]" "♪ The snow I fear it's falling down again ♪" "♪ and it takes just once" "♪ for it to offend the spring ♪" "♪ and drive it away" "♪ for just a little while ♪" "[Knocking on door]" " [Knocking continues]" " Okay." "Okay." " Ah. -[Oliver] Hey, so I was on my way to, um..." " Church and I think I may have left my..." " can you please leave?" " I just need to find my wallet." " It's Christmas, go home." "Look, can I just come in for a minute?" "Okay." "Just..." "Quickly, please." " Just grab it and go." " Okay, I think i..." " I just didn't expect anyone to be here." " It's okay, I left it over..." "This place is a mess, it's really early, and my hair is crazy and I feel disgusting." "[Overlapping chatter]" " Look, just..." " Oliver, I'm sorry." "I'm just hungover and I'm sweaty and I feel really gross" " and I don't know why you're here." " Hey!" "Cassie!" "I don't know what your problem is but I can absolutely without a doubt guarantee you that you are nothing but stunningly gorgeous right now." "Just... just like you have been for every second of every day since the first time you came into our store." "When we met away from the store the other night, for the first time, I... well..." "I've been wanting to say those words to you for weeks now." "But I..." "I couldn't find the right words." "Movie words." "You're just the most truly beautiful sight" "I've ever seen and no stupid little quote from a movie could ever do you justice." "So, I think my..." "I might have left..." "Take me to bed or lose me forever." "Just..." "Just, take me." "Take me." " No, this is on the couch." " Here we go." "Oh, okay." "Yeah, yeah, good idea." "[Both muttering]" " Whoa, can't see." " Ow." "Oh, was that a face?" "I can't... help me." " Yeah." " Woo." "Sorry." "Ah, sweaty." "[Diane] Cassandra!" "Well, kids, that was it." "Christmas." "Every year it's the same." "All that build up of joyful joy just welling up inside for one little day." "Sure, maybe you got that thing you thought you wanted, but the next morning you wake up and it's all back to business as usual." "You gotta refocus, eye on the prize, resolutions." "A brand-new year is on its way." " Hey." "What are you doing here?" " Hey." "Oh, I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd bring your wallet." "Oh, about the other night." "The other night or morning?" " Morning." "Christmas morning." " Yeah?" " I was waiting to say something about that too." " I just want to say I'm sorry." " You're sorry?" "Yeah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..." "You know what, if I remember correctly," "I'm the one who ran off, so." "Yeah, it was kinda, it got awkward." "I mean, come on, it was a week ago." " That's... it's fine." "Yeah, it was still pretty awkward." " Yeah, you left me there with her." "Alone." "Mm-hmm." "Yeah, I'm really..." "I panicked, you know, because I sort of forgot that she gets up early on Christmas." " She was naked." "Your mother." " I know." " I can't block it out." " Nude." " [Beeping]" "I wish I could forget." "Just... it's in there." " [Sighs] - [Beeping continues]" "I should probably check out what that thing is." " Anyways." " So, about that..." " Maybe we could..." " I have... there's this thing." "You know what, we can't be weird." " Weird?" " Yeah." " I really..." "I like you." " Yeah, I like..." "I just..." "I know how friends can be weird sometimes after one night... morning." "Whatever." " And so let's not be weird." " Okay." " Plus Donnie and I are sort of..." " Donnie?" "Are you serious?" "Oh, okay." "Yeah, all right." "No, I get it." "We can't be weird." " You got it." "Great." "Okay, I was just sort of worried that maybe..." "So, I should probably get back to..." "To work." "There's people that want their coffee." "Is that a tumbleweed?" "You know what," "I'm sorry I bothered you at work." "See ya at the tournament Saturday?" "You know, we'll see." "Sure... but yeah." "Got it." "Right." "Well, see you around then." "[Sighs]" "Hey, Oliver." "Sorry." "Yeah." "Um..." ""Sorrya.""

"Ten on the hit." "[Whispering]" "Damn it." "[Mike] And the famous split." "Spare conversion." "[Jason] Interesting little wheelchair celebration there, Mike." "And up high for five." "And down low at ten." "[Jason] High flush pocket with a beautiful carry over ten pin." "Oh, you know it!" "[Jason] Ooh, really unlucky here for the underdogs, Mike." " [Gurgling]" "Don't you start that shit now." "[Mike] Down by eight pins their final bowler, in the final frame." "Looks like this could be the end of the road for Santa's pinions." "I want you to look over there." "Okay?" "I want you to look at that..." "That miserable little pile of horse flop because that my friend is the face of evil, okay?" " I dropped everything to be with that man." " [Spectator] Late game." " Did you guys come to bowl?" " Because I loved him, right?" "And I thought he loved me." "He's a liar." "He's a filthy... evil liar." "Oh, he's never even touched a man in his life." "Right?" "Hmm." "And then suddenly everything that we..." "Everything..." "Suddenly, I'm just," "I'm just some guy that he bowled with." "This is what I need you to do, Ollie," "I need you to go out there, okay, and I need you to knock down nine of those pins." "All right?" "Not just for me." "I need you to do it for Santa's pinions, man." "The three original effing pinions." "And we'll show that worthless pile of pus... [spectator] Seriously, let's go, guys." "And everyone in here that we never needed his sorry ass in the first place." "Huh?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Go get 'em, man." "Go get 'em." " Come on!" " Come on, brother." "You can do it." "Hello, sorry." "Thanks, gentlemen." "Hello, ladies, kids." "[Clears throat] Choo..." "Hello!" " Bless you?" " No." "Just..." "Can I talk to you for a second?" "Yeah?" "Hey." "There was a little bit more that I wanted to tell you the other night." "I left the coffee shop and sort of realized something." "You know, I've looked and looked and looked." "And then it sort of hit me." "That no matter how hard I try" "I may never find what I'm looking for." "'Cause what I'm looking for may have been in front of me the whole time." "I suppose this may not be the best place or the best time but you're the one, Oliver." "I may even like, like you." "[Giggles] You know, it just..." " [Gurgling]" " Wait, what's wrong?" "[Squelching]" "[Stan laughs]" " Oh, no." " I'm just... all right." "Oh, no." "Dude." " [Chris] What do we do now?" " Come on, guys, serious, why don't one of us just bowl in his place?" "[Stan] Should we call a doctor?" "[Mutters]" " Ow!" " Wait, wait, wait." " What?" "Donnie, okay, it's against tourney rules for any team member to bowl more than one turn in a frame, okay?" "We either need Ollie back or we need a sub, okay?" "A sub." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, a sub." " Yeah, yeah." " Okay." "Her." "Hey, you!" "Yeah, you, you got us into this mess." " No, no, no, no." " Come here!" " Maybe not the best of options." " Come on!" "Okay, come on, man." "Just let us talk to her." " [Gasps]" " Hello, Cassie." "Hey, Pete Weber." "You know, your mom called me up earlier." " What?" "She did?" "Why?" " I know what it's like to live most of your life growing up in the shadow." "I'm second on the all time money list, what that means to me is, well, a lot." "But compared to one thing, it's like the bronze medal in the lukewarm poop eating contest." "You know, Cass, it wasn't long ago in this very bowling center that I got to..." "You passed your dad in career titles." "Exactly." "It's my first time back since." "I'm not gonna lie, it's not easy." "But you're a pretty special lady, Cass." "And your dad, he was a special man." "It's not about being better." "Or average, or above average like I thought." "It's just I don't think" "I ever really made him happy, you know?" "And that's all I want." "Just to make him proud." "Well, then, Cass, here's your chance." "[Sighs]" " Okay, shall we?" " We shall." "[Sputtering]" " Is that Evel Knievel?" " [Sputtering continues]" "Well, why doesn't Pete just bowl for us?" "[Julie] No, Sheldon, she has to do this." "[Jason] Well, this is a rather unusual finish here, Mike." "Due to sudden illness, Santa's pinions have been forced to call in an unlikely substitute." "[Mike] Belmo, it's Cassie Caulfield, local podcaster, and only daughter of very recently deceased" "PBA tour staple, James Caulfield." "Cassie Caulfield is hitting the wood." "[Jason] She needs nine in this frame to win it all." "And it's not looking good, Mike j." " It's not a promising start, I'm afraid." " [Audience groans]" "[Mike] Indeed, a gutter ball means that now it really does come down to this the last ball of the day, can she do it?" "[Jason] Wait a minute, here comes PBA legend and hall of famer, Pete Weber to the lanes." "[Mike] If there's anyone that knows this kind of pressure, it's PDW." "[Jason] A quick few words of wisdom here I'm sure." "I'm a big fan." "Okay." "[Mike] Here we go, for the game." "Tenth frame." "[James] Just roll the ball." "Bowling." "Jesus, Diane." "It's just so average." "You are better." "You are special." "You will be above average." "Got it?" "Don't you ever forget it." "All right now, just roll the ball." "Just roll the ball." " [Mike] Here we go, for the game." " Just roll the ball." " Tenth frame." " [Jason] For the championship." "[Mike] For everything." "[Jason] Opted to take the shoes off as well, it's an interesting tactic." "[Mike] Two hands?" "Back to basics." "[Jason] It's actually got a chance." "[Mike] It could be..." "It might be..." " It is!" " [Cheering]" "No!" "[Mike] Incredible, the Santa pinions have not lost." "Santa's pinions, holy upset." "[Jason] I can't believe it." "I mean, I can believe it, I'm watching it." "But I can't believe it, they've won," "Mike, hey, quick, slap me." "Tell me this is real." "[Mike] It's real, Jason, the crowd is on their feet." "[Jason] Satan's pinions, they're... they can't believe it." "Everyone is just, the craziest thing" "I've ever seen in my entire life just happened right now in front of me." "Oh!" "[Door rattles]" "Mike, Mike, Mike, she's not here anymore, is she?" "Yeah, yeah." "She's inside." "Come on." " Am i... no way." " Yeah, she's behind the bar." "Okay." "Great." "I'll lock up." " Yeah." "She's got my keys." " Thanks dude." "You're the best." "I'll see you next week." "Okay." "This is it." "Oh, I can do this." "Just, I've seen this movie a million times." "People say what they need to say when they have feelings to someone else." "I just gotta say it, just be real." "It's just me and her." "It's just me and her." "Hey, Cassie." "I realized there's a lot of things people say to one another when they need to say how much they feel." "But I mean, as far as I know," "I'm not very good at any of that." "I guess what I'm trying to say is that, well, I may not be the best with things that a man says, when he needs to tell someone how much he feels." "I can at least say this." "I love you, Cassie." "That's it." "I love you now." "I think I loved you the first time we spoke and odds are I'll just keep on loving you." "I just can't seem to stop." "It's pretty weird, I know." "So, yeah." "That's it." "I love you." "So, now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go get sick again." "Stop." "That was beautiful." "What's it from?" "Oh, well, it's not from anything really." "[Mouths] Oh." "I wrote it for you." "I told you no stupid little quote from a movie could ever do you justice." "Wait a minute, we're stuck inside a Nora Ephron movie, aren't we?" "No, this is way more Cameron Crowe." "[Giggles]" "Do we have to get married, now?" "No. [Giggles] Come on, let's go over the bar." "I think a quote unquote date is in order." "Hey, yeah." "That sounds good." " But hang on, let me help you get down." "Oh." " Just... just watch your head." " Hello." " Okay." " Are you all right?" " [Mumbles]" " Okay, here we go." "Oh!" "Okay." "Oh." "Okay, yeah." "So... well, I thought, why don't we... why don't we start with some barrels?" " Yeah." " And then, you know," " maybe rent like, a movie or two." " Okay." "And, um..." "I don't know, why don't we..." "Why don't we go bowling?" " Oh." " What's your average?" "[Chuckles] We're talking beer barrells, though, right?" "Oh, yeah, of course." "I mean, oh, well..." "I mean, that got its thing 'cause the old guys..." " What?" " And the old tiny cartoons" " nope." "Oh." "And they wore barrells around their waists." " And the... -[Laughs] Nope." "I think you should stop." " I'll stop." " But you're cute." "[Cass] Sometimes dear listeners," "I found that life can be a lot like bowling." "You see the pins." "You have the ball." "And there's 60 feet of shiny wood heading straight ahead toward what you want." "But despite the countless invisible obstacles standing between you and knocking down those ten bastard pins, the hardest part can just be taking a breath." "Putting one foot in front of the other and letting go."
