The antics of Billy Bob Thornton and Ali Larter seem to know no bounds in the latest episode of Landman.
In the December 28 installment of Taylor Sheridan’s popular series, viewers find Tommy asleep in a hotel room, only to be awaken by a waitress setting up room service at the foot of his bed. When Tommy stirs, he inadvertently reveals his nakedness beneath a t-shirt, prompting a shocked reaction from the waitress, who screams, “Don’t rape me!”
“Who the f— are you?” a bewildered Tommy responds, assuring her, “I’m not gonna rape you.”
Angela then enters, instructing her husband to “put your dick away” while slipping the waitress a $100 bill. “Don’t be scared, darling. That wasn’t about you. He eats Cialis like M&Ms, runs into door jams all morning with that thing. So sorry about that,” Angela quips.
After the waitress leaves, Angela clarifies her intentions: she had been trying to surprise Tommy with breakfast in bed, to which he dryly replies that she indeed “sure as s— surprised” him.
“That is not the best angle of your ball sack, I might add,” Angela shoots back. “I’d scream too.”

“You know, you really gotta love a man to look at him from there,” Angela continues, ridiculing her husband for his awkward exposure. “Poor thing, if she wasn’t a lesbian when she walked in here, she’s a f—— lesbian now.”
As she changes out of her nightgown, Angela laments, “When my husband flashes the waitstaff, it kind of kills the mood.”
Tommy struggles with the unexpected wake-up call, responding, “Well, honey, you’re the one who told me to take an extra pill last night. Now what do I do with this f—— thing?”
Angela suggests he “f— one of those waffles,” while Tommy jokingly threatens to do the same to her omelet, provoking a strong reaction from her.
“Way to ruin the weekend, Tommy,” she chastises, although the couple eventually reconciles later in the episode.
Throughout the series, Thornton and Larter consistently deliver a captivating dynamic. Thornton, age 70, has noted, “Every time we do scenes together, it’s just a load of fun,” praising the inherent chemistry he shares with Larter, 49. “Automatically, Ali and I were just passionate friends.”

Thornton shared that the comedic situations reminiscent of his past experiences often emerge while filming. “I get flashbacks from my past, every now and then, from various times of my life,” he explained.
Larter has praised Thornton as “one of the best actors working in our business,” adding, “He brings out the best in me. In our world, when we’re working together, there’s just never an inauthentic beat, and that is incredible. I love him so much.”
