TEXT: Bernie: Oh, Russ? Check it out. What do you think? Russ: Costume party? Bernie: No, strip club. The girls tend to work a little harder when they think you're an MD. Russ: I can see that. Bernie: The material's very thin, very lap-dance friendly. Russ: I never, uh, thought of you as a, uh, strip club guy. Bernie: Oh, AJ invited me. You should come. You should come. Russ: Oh, no, I can't. Lina and I have a date night tonight. [bell dings] Bernie: Oh, this kid. You want me to handle this? I'm already scrubbed in. Russ: No. No. What does this say? Bernie: You should be wearing that, right? Russ: That's not the point. Okay? It says manager. How you doing? Can I help you? Tween: Yeah. Just, uh, here to pick up. Russ: Hey, where'd you get that bag? Tween: This bomb-ass surf shop in Venice. Russ: Swick? Tween: You know it? Russ: Yeah. Yeah, my old, my old partner and I started that. I actually designed that logo. Put it on a longboard. It's kind of how it all started. Tween: Baller. Bernie: Yeah, he also designed your middle school book fair banner, which I think you'll agree is equally baller. Russ: Yeah. I am super baller... still. Lina: I can't believe you actually planned a date. Russ: Yeah, what's the big deal? Lina: 'Cause you normally don't plan sh1t. Russ [laughing]: Well... Lina: It's nice when you make an effort. Russ: I thought it would be fun to, I don't know, see the old hood, do the old date... visit the shop. Lina: Are you feeling nostalgic? Russ: Maybe. A little. Lina: Ah. Man: You know who
SUMMARY:
Russ and Lina go on a date in Venice Beach , where they lived before starting a family. They find a newer version of the surf shop Russ co-owned with partner Bruce, thinking he capitalized on Russ's surfboard design. Bruce is now in a wheelchair from being shot in a robbery and has sold the shop to new owners. He also blames the Bowmans for him getting shot. Russ then finds the surfboard in Bruce's bedroom and tries to steal it. Meanwhile, Bernie thinks A.J. is taking him to a strip club, but they first stop at a shiva for the mother of Jerry, Roxanne's new boyfriend. Roxanne tells an obnoxious A.J. to leave and seek professional help. He takes her advice to mean she still cares.
