Poppa's House · Season 1, Episode 15

Damon and Poppa in “Unfinished Business”

[First lines of the series]

Damon

Hey, Dad.

Poppa

Boy.

Damon

Hey, Pop. I need a favor.

Poppa

Son, can I at least get a sip of tea before you start asking me for favors?

Damon

Hey, yeah. You do your thing, man. Sip it up.

[Poppa takes a sip of his coffee.]

Damon

Can you pick the kids up from school today? I have a meeting with an ad agency to direct some spots.

Poppa

I thought you told Nina that you were gonna stop chasing that directing dream.

Damon

I said I was going to. I didn't put a hard clock on it.

Poppa

Oh. So, you lied to your wife.

Damon

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa. Never. Our entire relationship is built on complete trust. I'm merely protecting her in case I don't get the job, that way, I don't have to see that disappointed look in her eyes.

Poppa

Oh. your mom had that look. It was her only look. So, what does the foam roller king think about you taking meetings on a work day?

Damon

Well, you know, I just tell JJ, I'm on a sales run, I go in and crush my meetings, back to work, no harm, no foul.

Poppa

Well, there is a foul. You're stealing time from your boss.

Damon

Look, dad, I know you guys go way... You good?

Poppa

Yeah. I'm good. I'm good.

Damon

Look, I know you guys go way back, but, I can't stand working for that dude. It's like having a human hemorrhoid for a father-in-law.

Poppa

This is true, but JJ loaned you money to buy that house next door, and he gave you a job so you can pay him back. That's a contract.

Damon

Well, I can pay him back a lot quicker if you bought a couple hundred of these bad boys.

Poppa

They don't do nothing for me. Look, I paid for your film school, son. That's it. Now I support you emotionally.

Damon

Dad, you know that George Clooney once gave 15 of his best friends a million dollars each?

Poppa

(blows raspberry) That's nothing. I once gave an enemy 5 million dollars.

Damon

Really, who?

Poppa

Your mother. In the divorce.

Damon

She told me it was 3.

Poppa

That's 'cause she didn't want to pay for film school.

Damon

She's the worst. That's my mother.
