TVTranscript
00:06I'm back at Rutgers today, and not just because I'm dating a student.
00:10Two years ago, Rutgers Stadium was renamed in honor of the Scarlet Knights' own Reggie
00:16Dinkins, until his gambling scandal took him from goat to goat.
00:21The old version.
00:22That means bad.
00:24Greatest no, they'll see.
00:27But earlier today, the stadium finally got a new name, honoring another famous Rutgers
00:32alum, Ally McBeal star, Calista Flockhart, because she was, quote, the opposite of Reggie
00:39Dinkins.
00:40Of all the things I lost, that won't hurt.
00:44Alma mater means nourishing mother in Latin, so it's like my own mother replaced me with
00:49Calista Flockhart.
00:51This is good.
00:52Reggie, this is the process.
00:54Keep going.
00:55When I was eight, a rat called up, I told him I wasn't wearing my butt.
00:58All right, let's end there.
01:00Today was a breakthrough.
01:03You see, in the immersive documentary process, there is a stage known as embedding.
01:07Months, sometimes longer, spent gaining trust, until finally, one day, the subject reveals
01:14which is, of course, Dolphin, for I'm horny and I trust you.
01:22That's so good.
01:23You know, I want to hate her for what she did to you, but she makes Harrison Ford happy.
01:27Hey, Reggie, you want to shoot some hoops?
01:32He's my best friend!
01:35Erase that!
01:36Come on and rise up, Reggie Dinkins.
01:43I have a new assistant.
01:46Ashley's OnlyFans got picked up to series by Hulu, so I jumped at the chance to uplift another
01:51woman of color when I got Shaniquany's email.
01:57I'm Shane E. Quinn III, and this is my first job ever.
02:03Good morning, and I've got some good news.
02:07I got you your first interview in seven years.
02:10See what happens when you put good things out there?
02:12You know what?
02:14One of you kids gets my watch.
02:18You deserve it!
02:19So who wants a piece?
02:2160 Minutes?
02:22The theme song.
02:23Tick, tick, tick, tick.
02:24That's a banger!
02:25Well, it's the 60 Minutes of Monmouth County.
02:28The Monmouth County Register.
02:30Is that like a newspaper?
02:32Okay, I know it's small potatoes.
02:34But, Reggie, you like small potatoes.
02:36Remember the fingerly ones at the place with the rosemary?
02:39I did like those potatoes.
02:41Or, here's a real reason to do it, it's a chance to capitalize on that momentum.
02:45I spoke to the reporter, she doesn't even want to talk about gambling.
02:49Really?
02:49That's smurf-tastic!
02:51I can say that now that Rihanna's a smurf.
02:53Good, because I already said yes.
02:55The reporter and the photographer will be here at 4.
02:57Finally.
02:58I can just talk about the good stuff.
03:00Like that time I did a Lambo leak, and I gave one of the guys that caught me an alibi
03:04in
03:04the murder case.
03:06Yeah, that was smurf-tastic.
03:08You can't say that!
03:09I think just don't talk about football at all.
03:12We want readers to meet you now.
03:14The father, the fiancé, a man who's not defined by his past.
03:19Readers?
03:20No one reads anymore.
03:22Yeah, they didn't even teach us how to read at Oberlin.
03:24The news is pictures now, Reggie.
03:27So just do what you're told and take a good picture.
03:30It'll be good practice for the wedding.
03:32Brina and Reggie have been engaged for over a year.
03:35And he still hasn't asked me to be his best man?
03:38Why?
03:40You know?
03:41Is it because of my toast at his and Monica's 10th anniversary party?
03:45I don't understand how we could all be celebrating when there's 33 Chilean minors under the ground
03:50right now!
03:51Go away!
03:52Go away!
03:56I'm sorry about that guy.
03:58So what, now that they're, like, friends?
04:00I mean, what if Reggie chooses Tobin?
04:03You know, what is that best man speech gonna be like?
04:06Well, you know, um, when Reggie rather approached one about, uh, well, that, um, I, uh, I meant to say,
04:13God dang it, he's so charming!
04:15Hmm.
04:15I mean, I do photograph well.
04:19Well, Reggie, I have to take an amazing picture.
04:23I got a job for you.
04:24You can count on me, Reggie.
04:26Yeah, me, not you!
04:33Right there.
04:34What is that outfit?
04:36The power of suggestion, Monica.
04:38Wow.
04:39This green shirt is actually my old Jets jersey to remind people I play for the Jets.
04:45And so what, the yellow jacket is supposed to be like the one that you get from the Hall of
04:48Fame?
04:48And yet, I said nothing.
04:53Oh, please tell me that's not what I think it is.
04:57It's just Rutgers Stadium bust.
04:59Ow!
04:59What the hell is that?
05:01It's my bust.
05:02Oh, God, no.
05:03And she, statues are like boats, deserves to be seen.
05:07I mean, come on, which one's the mom, right?
05:10No.
05:11I don't want that jacked up thing in our house.
05:13Reggie, come on.
05:15This is not what we discussed.
05:17Sure it is.
05:18I'll say whatever you want.
05:19But this is my visual story.
05:22So your story is, sad old jock literally clings to the past?
05:27Right.
05:28And you want me to focus on my life now?
05:30Like my son Carmelo, who was just named two this weekend's Tri-State All-Star game.
05:36Continuing my football legacy.
05:39Ooh, football?
05:40I broke another Monica rule.
05:42I hope I don't go to Monica jail and get murdered like Monica Jeffrey Epstein.
05:46I forgot about Carmelo.
05:48I mean, could Reggie ask him to be his best man?
05:52He's only 17, okay?
05:54So he's not even a man.
05:56Okay?
05:56And there's no such thing as best boy.
05:58I mean, well, there is on a movie set, but we're not making a movie.
06:01Oh my God, no we are!
06:12When did it get so spooky up in here?
06:15When I'm done with that thing, there won't be anything left of it.
06:25It's okay.
06:27Who would ever suspect Shane?
06:30What?
06:32You're his friend.
06:35Just be cool.
06:37Be cool, you stupid hog.
06:40Thanks.
06:48Simi, music off.
06:51She's gone.
06:54Who did this?
07:01Marocca's bus is missing and any one of you could have taken it.
07:05I didn't, but whoever did is a hero.
07:08That thing was Jank Key.
07:11Way to remove yourself from the suspect list, not Wayne's World.
07:15Is that like Lil Wayne's podcast?
07:17Don't distract me with your youth.
07:19You're the one that said you didn't want the statue in the house.
07:22No!
07:22What the hell is that?
07:24Hey, buddy, you know it wasn't me, okay?
07:27I said I liked the statue.
07:28I noticed that.
07:30Also notice your pants on fire from lying.
07:34You have a tell, Rusty.
07:35When you lie, you lick your lips.
07:40And she, sculptures alike boats, deserves to be seen.
07:45I mean, come on, which one's the mom, right?
07:49No, I don't.
07:52And Shaniquany, y'all shady.
07:55Why was you wearing rubber gloves?
07:56Who would ever suspect Shane?
07:58I was burying a bird that hit a window.
08:02White people do do that.
08:04Reggie, look.
08:05We all know how much that statue means to you.
08:08Do you?
08:08I kept it because someday it was going back in the stadium.
08:12That's my stadium.
08:14That's the house that Reggie Dinkins built.
08:16I want that too, Reggie.
08:18And this interview is the way to get there.
08:21So get your head in the game and stop playing Black of the Christie.
08:24First of all, that's a great idea for a movie.
08:27Second of all, I haven't even gotten to Arthur Tobin yet.
08:31Yeah.
08:32If we're all suspects, and that includes him too, right?
08:35Wait, me?
08:36Yes.
08:37This drama's great for your little movie.
08:39Yeah.
08:40You got here like two months ago.
08:41You're not one of us.
08:42Reggie, why would I compromise the trust that we built up?
08:45After the breakthrough we had this morning, taking your prize sculpture is the very last thing I would do.
08:50Really?
08:50Last thing?
08:52Ahead of marrying Hitler?
08:53I am purely an observer.
08:57While filming in Madagascar, I watched a sloth kill itself rather than intervene.
09:02It took four days.
09:04And I don't know where it got that gun.
09:06So I am not going to interfere here.
09:08But I do know who stole the bust.
09:10Well, I'm convinced.
09:12Arthur did it.
09:13Case closed.
09:14Now, let's go over your talking points.
09:16An obvious diversion.
09:18Earlier I overheard you on the phone saying-
09:20When I'm done with that thing, there won't be anything left of it.
09:22What exactly is that thing?
09:25It's none of your business.
09:27But if it makes this go faster, I connected with a gentleman online and was describing my plan for later.
09:35Oh, damn.
09:36Subject change.
09:37What about Brina?
09:38So beautiful and thick.
09:40But the plot is thicker.
09:42I didn't do anything.
09:43Yes, you did.
09:44You walked all sneaky.
09:47Creeping like TLC.
09:49I had just painted my toenails.
09:50Are you going to tell me you do your own nails?
09:52Usually, I don't.
09:54But my girl Rosa's totally booked up because Cardi B's on trial.
09:58Are you done?
09:59We ain't done until one of you fesses up.
10:02I'm always being lectured about owning my own mistakes.
10:04But you people won't do it yourselves.
10:07What's going on?
10:09Oh, are we doing Uncle Rusty's intervention?
10:12I'll get my letter.
10:13It's not that, son.
10:15Something terrible has happened.
10:16And I'm not addicted to the trampoline park, okay?
10:20I can stop whenever I want.
10:22Just please don't take that away from me.
10:23It's the only thing I have.
10:28So the bust is just gone?
10:32Only you's in trouble.
10:33I got my Dr. Watson with me now.
10:35Which makes me Dr. Watson's dad.
10:38Come on.
10:39Do you really have to drag the boy into your nonsense?
10:42Yes, I do, Monica.
10:44Because he's the only one in the family that understands where I'm coming from.
10:49Okay, I'm just going to say it.
10:50Reggie choosing his son to be his best man would be nepotism.
10:54Well, then you might play for Rutgers.
10:56And you do not want to rub Calista Flockhart's bangs for luck.
11:01No.
11:02You want to kiss your daddy's head's mouth.
11:04Bangs?
11:05Wait, so the bust is season three, Ally McBeal?
11:07Wait, hold on.
11:10Is that an ear?
11:12That's my bust's ear.
11:16We are no longer looking for a thief, Carmelo.
11:19We're looking for a murderer.
11:24How does bronze just break?
11:26Actually, it's not bronze.
11:28When my bust was made, there was a bronze shortage because of the Olympics.
11:33And you would know that if any of you gave a single dang F about his life.
11:38Lord, today.
11:39The interview is in an hour.
11:41For how long are you going to do this?
11:44It ain't up to me.
11:45It's up to y'all.
11:49Okay.
11:50We're going to see how good you can lie to me one-on-one.
11:53Shane, you in the box.
11:55Would you like a soda, Shane?
11:57Yeah.
11:58Carmelo, get him a soda.
12:07Arthur, I need to talk to you.
12:08To me, you need to go and talk some sense into your ex-husband.
12:10You've seen me try.
12:12But when he thinks he's been wrong, he's like a dog with a bone.
12:15Or me with a key lime pie you'll play.
12:18Sir, what are we talking about?
12:19Look, today is actually a big deal.
12:22But this bust situation-
12:23Yeah, it's threatening to blow it all up.
12:24Believe me, I get it.
12:25Reggie was finally starting to open up to me.
12:27Well, you're the one to fix it.
12:28Just go look at the footage.
12:30And if you can end this, please just do it.
12:33Monica, no, ethically.
12:35I know an interview with a Monmouth County Register isn't a big win, but it is a win.
12:39You're just starting to finally make some progress here.
12:43But Reggie's in no place to talk to anyone right now.
12:46They're gonna love you in prison.
12:49Arthur, please, help me out here.
12:53When I became a documentarian, I made a vow to remain forever curious,
12:58steadfastly objective, and insufferable at dinner parties.
13:02Today, I break the middle part of that vow.
13:07No, I don't want that jacked up thing in our house.
13:32For posterity, I do want to explain why I had to frame Brina.
13:42Why wouldn't you say something, baby?
13:44You know I'd forgive you.
13:47You see, of all the available scapegoats,
13:49Brina was by far the most readily forgiven.
13:51And if it came out that I broke the bus,
13:53they imagined the damage to the embedding process.
13:55And the film.
13:56If Shakespeare were alive today, he would say,
13:58the film's the thing.
14:01Right?
14:03Obviously, I did it.
14:06I just don't remember doing it.
14:09Brie, what are you saying?
14:11Reggie, you never met my aunt.
14:15My dad's sisters.
14:17Because they live in an insane asylum.
14:20They went crazy right around my age.
14:23They'd black out and things would happen.
14:26Furniture would go missing.
14:27The fireplace would fill with dolls.
14:29And whenever there was a storm,
14:31Aunt Wendy would disappear for a few days
14:33and say she'd been to see the Wizard of Oz.
14:36Not even the Wiz.
14:38So the white one?
14:39That's nuts.
14:41This is what I've been afraid of since I was a little girl.
14:44I have it.
14:45I have the sickness.
14:47Oh!
14:48I would not have singled out Brina if I had known about the Wiz thing.
14:51I just thought that Brina would say she didn't do it.
14:53Reggie wouldn't believe her.
14:54Brina would get furious.
14:55Reggie would get turned on.
14:57Problem solved.
14:57I certainly did not think that Brina would blame the black mark
15:00that God put on Grandmama Evans' name.
15:02It's the black mark that God put on Grandmama Evans' name.
15:05No, no, no, baby, don't say that.
15:06No!
15:07I don't even remember destroying something that you love.
15:11How could I trust myself to be a good wife or mother?
15:17I'll have to call up this wedding.
15:18Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
15:19Please, please stop, dear God.
15:20It was me.
15:21I did it.
15:21I broke the bust.
15:22I'm so sorry.
15:30Oh, no!
15:35But I don't like the bust.
15:37No, that part was real.
15:39Yes, earlier you said it looked like a rotted jack-o-lantern of Shrek.
15:41Damn, girl, you cold.
15:43But the rest was all just editing trickery.
15:45The shot of you sneaking into the living room was from last month.
15:48You were tiptoeing to avoid Rusty.
15:49I was sick of answering his questions about Severance.
15:53I've just got one question.
15:55We're two seasons in and no one's trying to have sex with Mr. Milchick?
15:59But wait.
15:59We all just saw her throw the bust into the trash.
16:04Yeah.
16:04So, Monica, you remember earlier when you caught me coming out of the bathroom?
16:07You couldn't have used the bathroom because I destroyed the toilet hours ago.
16:12I had chili and oysters for breakfast.
16:13That's why I was wearing those gloves was to try to fix it.
16:17Mystery solved.
16:18That was not the mystery, Shane.
16:20And I didn't go in there to use the facilities.
16:22I just went in so I could go out the window, sneak back inside, and run upstairs to borrow a
16:28couple of things.
16:32And then I hopped back in through the loo window and yeah.
16:39You touched my wig?
16:41Jail.
16:42My Irish friends were right about you people.
16:44You played me.
16:45This is supposed to be a documentary about the Hall of Fame.
16:47What are we doing?
16:48You almost got the wedding canceled.
16:50I should kick you in half.
16:52No!
16:53You had me thinking I was crazy!
16:54This is really gonna hurt the embedding process.
16:57I'm very mad at you!
16:59We loved you!
17:02Stop!
17:04Everybody just...
17:06Stop.
17:07Dad, Mr. Tobin didn't break your statue.
17:10When he knocked it over, it was already busted.
17:14By me.
17:17Look, I just couldn't bring myself to tell you how it happened.
17:20You son of a bitch.
17:25You broke it?
17:26But you weren't even here.
17:28Actually, I got out of school early because it's straight white pride day.
17:31Did they always have that?
17:32That feels new.
17:33And after I accidentally messed up your statue...
17:40Oh no, no, no!
17:41I ran and hid at Todd's house.
17:43I don't know about that Todd.
17:44Calling me Monica like he grow.
17:46You gave quite the performance.
17:48I mean, I really believed you were surprised when you got home.
17:50No, I was.
17:52Dad, when I left, the statue wasn't missing.
17:55I thought somebody was messing with me.
17:57Hang on.
17:58I love that bust.
18:01Let's see.
18:01You're my guy.
18:03What made you think you had to hide this from me?
18:07That's the thing.
18:08Doobie.
18:10Doobie.
18:11I was practicing a routine for the prep league acapella showdown this Saturday.
18:15I have the tenor doobies in Mr. Fisk's arrangement of Radioactive.
18:18You got the doobies?
18:20That's amazing!
18:22Ha!
18:24No.
18:25Saturday's your all-star game.
18:27You're the starting running back.
18:28And that's why I was afraid to tell you.
18:32I want to go to the concert instead of the game.
18:36And that's why I couldn't stand you staring at me while I practiced.
18:39Doobie.
18:41Daddy.
18:41I mean, doobie.
18:50So you don't want to play football?
18:52You didn't need to lie, Mello.
18:55We support you no matter what.
18:57Right, Reggie?
19:00Sorry, Dad.
19:01I know football is your whole life.
19:04But maybe it's not mine.
19:06The reporter.
19:08Oh, good lord!
19:11I can't even pull off a Reggie Dinkins interview on a paper they give away at the drugstore.
19:16Okay, I'm going to cancel.
19:18Um, I'll say it's Kwanzadon.
19:20She's white.
19:21She won't know it's not a thing.
19:22No.
19:23I'll do the interview.
19:25I got some stuff to get off my chest.
19:31So it was all Carmela's fault.
19:34Wow, right?
19:38For decades, football was my life.
19:41But it isn't life, because football is over.
19:45And the stuff that really counts, luckily, it's not going anywhere.
19:49I've got a fiancé who is kind and beautiful.
19:53And when we get married, my best friend is going to be my best man.
19:58So it turns out he asked me a while ago.
20:01I make too much earwax, okay?
20:04I thought Reggie and I were having an emotional conversation about what's the best ham.
20:11It's Kirkland's signature.
20:13I've got a Monica.
20:14Without her, I wouldn't have a career.
20:16Or a child.
20:18And a son.
20:20He's going to be so much more than I ever was.
20:23Because he already knows that football is not his life.
20:29Okay, cool.
20:32Just to go back to my question.
20:35What's your favorite sub shop here in Monmouth County?
20:39Salami Joe's.
20:41Lord have mercy.
20:57How are you boys enjoying your new rehearsal space?
21:00The acoustics are great.
21:02I think it's from Mr. Tobin's skull absorbing the sound.
21:04Reggie, I know I deserve to be punished, but please.
21:07This is worse than when I directed the Imagine video during COVID.
21:10Why'd your boys stop singing?
21:12You sound so nice.
21:15Let's get weird.
21:29Good night everybody.
21:31Good day!
