00:00:00.143 --> 00:00:01.698
- Hey! Sorry I'm late.

00:00:01.698 --> 00:00:02.860
- That's okay.

00:00:02.860 --> 00:00:04.392
- Has the match already started?

00:00:04.392 --> 00:00:06.992
- Game, not match.

00:00:06.992 --> 00:00:08.665
Is that white wine?

00:00:08.665 --> 00:00:11.655
- Yeah, should I have brought red?

00:00:11.846 --> 00:00:15.904
(dramatic opera music)

00:00:17.755 --> 00:00:20.490
(muffled yells and groans)

00:00:21.911 --> 00:00:24.646
(television game announcement)

00:00:27.438 --> 00:00:29.133
- Oh. Not in my house.

00:00:29.133 --> 00:00:30.154
Can I get a re-rack?

00:00:30.154 --> 00:00:32.197
- Dude, you are missing
the entire game in there.

00:00:32.197 --> 00:00:35.238
- Hey, I will come in at the commercials.

00:00:35.238 --> 00:00:37.143
- I'm guessing this
isn't really your scene?

00:00:37.143 --> 00:00:40.115
- Being a non-sports fan in
this town here kinda sucks.

00:00:40.565 --> 00:00:41.790
(indistinguishable conversation)

00:00:41.790 --> 00:00:43.208
When people are talking about the game,

00:00:43.208 --> 00:00:45.112
they might as well be
speaking another language.

00:00:45.112 --> 00:00:46.087
- Two TDs, that's a fantasy team.

00:00:46.087 --> 00:00:46.946
- Redskins on D.

00:00:46.946 --> 00:00:48.245
- Hey, you know who's on my fantasy team?

00:00:48.245 --> 00:00:48.920
- Huh?

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:50.917
- J.R.R. Tolkien.

00:00:50.917 --> 00:00:52.240
- Did you get him off the waiver ware?

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:53.841
- When you tell people
you don't watch sports,

00:00:53.841 --> 00:00:55.375
they just think you're weird.

00:00:55.375 --> 00:00:56.465
Yeah, my family just didn't watch

00:00:56.465 --> 00:00:57.720
that much sports growing up.

00:00:57.720 --> 00:00:59.810
- Did you not have a TV or something?

00:00:59.810 --> 00:01:02.660
- (stammering) I did.

00:01:02.660 --> 00:01:04.378
Or they think you're an idiot.

00:01:04.378 --> 00:01:06.491
- Gentlemen, we are going to need

00:01:06.491 --> 00:01:08.534
a full court press on this, okay.

00:01:08.534 --> 00:01:11.414
Chris, full court press,
it's a basketball analogy.

00:01:11.414 --> 00:01:14.572
It's where you pick up your
opponent at the baseline.

00:01:14.572 --> 00:01:16.123
It just means added effort.

00:01:16.123 --> 00:01:18.031
- [Voiceover] Sometimes, I'll
just pretend to be interested

00:01:18.031 --> 00:01:19.680
so people don't hassle me.

00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:21.740
- Are you serious?

00:01:21.740 --> 00:01:24.153
Flacco threw more that
4,000 yards last season.

00:01:24.153 --> 00:01:25.385
- You're gonna look me in the eyes

00:01:25.385 --> 00:01:26.964
and tell me that he's a better quarterback

00:01:26.964 --> 00:01:28.054
than Andrew Luck?

00:01:28.054 --> 00:01:28.983
- Oh.

00:01:28.983 --> 00:01:31.260
- Tom Brady.

00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:32.071
- It's a good point.

00:01:32.071 --> 00:01:33.907
- No, yeah, that makes sense.

00:01:33.907 --> 00:01:35.300
- But, why do you hate sports?

00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:37.738
- I mean, playing sports is fine.

00:01:37.738 --> 00:01:40.803
But watching sports is boring.

00:01:40.803 --> 00:01:44.029
It has absolutely no
impact on anyone's life.

00:01:44.029 --> 00:01:46.375
- But House of Swords does?

00:01:46.375 --> 00:01:48.929
(upbeat medieval flute music)

00:01:48.929 --> 00:01:51.041
- House of Swords is totally different.

00:01:51.041 --> 00:01:52.272
That is characters.

00:01:52.272 --> 00:01:53.364
That is storytelling.

00:01:53.364 --> 00:01:55.709
That is raw, human emotion.

00:01:55.709 --> 00:01:57.219
- So are sports.

00:01:57.219 --> 00:01:59.657
It's the narrative, the team, the players.

00:01:59.657 --> 00:02:01.793
Dynasties rising and falling.

00:02:01.793 --> 00:02:04.067
Fortunes won and lost in an instant.

00:02:04.067 --> 00:02:05.949
Sports give us community,

00:02:05.949 --> 00:02:06.877
Identity,

00:02:06.877 --> 00:02:07.759
and let's face it,

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:10.523
sports have the best parties.

00:02:10.523 --> 00:02:12.867
- [Voiceover] They're
basically tribal cults,

00:02:12.867 --> 00:02:14.795
like nationalism.

00:02:14.795 --> 00:02:16.632
They cause fights,

00:02:16.632 --> 00:02:18.026
riots,

00:02:18.026 --> 00:02:19.257
chaos.

00:02:19.257 --> 00:02:20.998
It's medieval,

00:02:20.998 --> 00:02:22.925
and not in a good, House of Swords way.

00:02:22.925 --> 00:02:24.040
- [Voiceover] Exactly.

00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:27.267
Society needs that primal release.

00:02:27.267 --> 00:02:29.380
You just don't like watching sports,

00:02:29.380 --> 00:02:31.772
because you aren't
willing to face the truth,

00:02:31.772 --> 00:02:35.231
that human beings are just animals.

00:02:35.231 --> 00:02:36.625
- No, I just-

00:02:36.625 --> 00:02:39.289
(stammering)

00:02:39.852 --> 00:02:41.431
I just don't understand why
anyone would get so worked up

00:02:41.431 --> 00:02:43.289
over something that doesn't even matter.

00:02:43.289 --> 00:02:44.890
(singing) House of Swords,
House of Swords, Sunday night,

00:02:44.890 --> 00:02:46.981
House of Swords.

00:02:46.981 --> 00:02:48.443
Run, you little bitch, run.

00:02:48.443 --> 00:02:49.744
Get out of the cave!

00:02:49.744 --> 00:02:51.439
God, the effects are always great,

00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:52.738
and when the ravens just coming out--

00:02:52.738 --> 00:02:54.735
- The Ravens, Baltimore Ravens?

00:02:54.735 --> 00:02:56.383
- Wait a minute, you don't
watch House of Swords?

00:02:56.383 --> 00:02:58.590
- No, I fell asleep during the pilot.

00:02:58.590 --> 00:03:00.889
- This is the most important
thing in culture right now.

00:03:00.889 --> 00:03:02.235
- Such a good show!

00:03:02.235 --> 00:03:05.439
It is exciting, and it is heart-wrenching.

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.831
There's a new world you get to look in.

00:03:07.831 --> 00:03:09.828
- Why does everyone wear a vest?

00:03:09.828 --> 00:03:12.382
- Because that's their uniforms.

00:03:12.382 --> 00:03:15.076
Oh my god, it is just like sports.

00:03:15.076 --> 00:03:17.973
(upbeat medieval flute music)

00:03:20.851 --> 00:03:21.989
You guys like Gatorade?

00:03:21.989 --> 00:03:22.987
- I do.

00:03:22.987 --> 00:03:24.636
- Gatorade's pretty sick.

00:03:24.636 --> 00:03:25.613
- It's got electrolytes.
