Date My Dad (2017) s01e02 Episode Script
But I Really Like the Kids
1 I feel like I moved out a year ago.
This place is a mess.
It was last week, Abuela.
It's not a mess.
Oh, your father is late.
You know how Gigi gets when he's late.
She's like a mini train conductor.
And she's in a mood.
She's nervous about her audition, and let me tell you, I starred in the 2nd-grade musical, it's where careers are made, or dreams die.
Maybe a tad dramatic, Mirabel.
A musical? But Gigi doesn't sing.
She appears not to know that.
Abuela, I'm worried about Dad.
He's been so depressed.
Maybe we did the wrong thing, trying to fix him up.
Maybe he's not ready.
And maybe I did the wrong thing by moving out.
That's why I'm here, I wanted to make your father his favorite dinner.
This is not his favorite dinner.
Oh, I know.
I just couldn't deal with the fish market.
You know, I dated the owner a couple of times, and ooh, he smelled like herring.
Ugh, not for me.
Swipe left, thank you very much.
What? I'm on every dating site.
It's like shopping for men.
I like shopping.
I like men.
Two birds, one stone.
Not about you, Abuela.
Let's bring it back to Dad.
Daddy's depressed because he has no social life.
He needs to get online.
Like Abuela.
[groans.]
The thought of both my father and grandmother online dating is totally making my stomach hurt.
[door opens.]
[together.]
: Hi, Daddy! [claps in excitement.]
What a great day! You're late, Daddy.
Nice to see you, too.
[sniffing.]
Rosa, what did you make? It smells amazing! Don't patronize her.
Late is late.
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo! [Gigi protesting.]
: Daddy! Put me down! No, I'm not gonna do that, no, no, no.
Hey, whoa [sighing.]
Are you all set for your audition, Gigi? I hope so.
I'm singing "On The Street Where You Live" from "My Fair Lady.
" You can always rely on Lerner and Loewe.
Who? They wrote "Gigi.
" Giant poster in my bedroom? Like, for forever? You'll do great.
What's with you, Hijo? You seem so Happy.
I am.
I have some news.
We were just talking about how worried we are about you.
That you've been so bummed-out.
Don't tell him that, genius.
What happened, Daddy? [clears throat awkwardly.]
I met a woman.
[giggles.]
Aah, aah, aah Can I get a witness? Wow! I'm feelin' all right Just like I should should, should Best day of my life It feels so good good, good I'd bottle up this feeling if I could Oh yeah! [all together.]
: You met a woman? That's-that's-that's right, I did.
On your own? Well, yes, as shocking as that may seem, and I must say, it's kind of given me a little bounce in my step.
How much bounce? Too much bounce, maybe not so good at first.
A little bounce, I like.
A lot? No es bueno Don't worry about the bounce, Rosa.
- What's she like? - Is she pretty? - What does she do for a living? - Is she Latina? Wow, that's, uh, that's a lot of questions.
Um, can we eat? [clearing throat.]
[chuckles.]
Okay, all right.
She has three boys, same ages as you girls - Let us pray.
- I know, right? Three boys? Totally amazeballs.
No, I meant, let us pray, before we eat? Where'd you meet her? Dear God, thank you for this At the park.
Deets, please, Daddy.
Did you just walk up to her? Was she sitting on a bench? Amazing food and for my family Was she doing yoga with the people in the park with the robes by the fountain? No, she was not doing yoga, or sitting on a bench.
She was, uh, sitting on a blanket.
And yes, I just walked up to her.
Aggressive, I like it.
I'm praying here! [all together.]
: Amen.
Seriously.
Tell us what happened.
Okay, well, I was, uh, I was training your Uncle Bill, and she was just hanging out, you know, watching her boys play baseball.
Um, baseball [doubtfully.]
Were they? Well, you know, they weren't, you know, actually playing a game, they were just, you know, tossing the ball around.
What? Why are you all looking at me like that? Please tell me you didn't.
You did, didn't you? Aye, Dios mio.
Again? He absolutely did.
What? I don't-I don't get it.
You were showing off, weren't you? Of course he was.
I was not.
Oh, okay, maybe just a little.
I knew it.
It's not his fault.
It's the male animal instinct.
Take the male peacock.
The lesson in ornithology is not necessary.
In what? The study of birds.
Or-ni- thol-o-gy.
I'll add it to your flashcards.
You need to slow your roll, little girl.
Daddy is not a peacock.
I was not showing off.
Okay? Look, I'm a professional baseball player, people.
[together.]
: An EX-professional baseball player.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, but when I play ball, I play ball.
When I play ball, I play ball.
[laughing.]
Okay, okay, point taken.
You know, but it was no big deal.
I was just, you know giving the boys some pointers.
Now what? I am so outnumbered here.
May I take this? What's she like, Daddy? Who? The mother.
Oh.
She's very nice.
Does she have a name? Katie.
Her name is Katie.
Good name.
Katie's cute, fun, wears good jeans, has great hair, prefers ankle boots to high-heels.
I like her.
What are you talking about? I can only guess what's coming.
Do you know this woman, Mirabel? No, Abuela, I just have this really cool talent.
Give me any name, and I can conjure up what the person is like just by hearing their name.
It's a gift.
It's something.
When are you going out with her? Don't wear a baseball cap.
Pick her up, don't meet her there.
Take her somewhere romantic, like that place on the water.
Or maybe somewhere casual.
You don't want to appear desperate on the first date.
Got it.
Don't appear desperate.
But, you know, we're not actually, uh, you know going out on a date.
You know, I'm just gonna have some chicken.
I don't understand.
Give me the chicken, Elisa.
Just give it to me.
[sighs.]
Well [chuckles awkwardly.]
You know, uh they're all, you know, coming over for brunch.
I wonder if we still have those weighted bats in the garage.
Rosa, really, this just looks and smells delish.
Mm! So good.
You know what, the boys would like this.
You know, you guys are gonna have so much fun.
Yeah, it'll be great.
Mm May I get the chicken now? - Fine.
- Thank you.
[Gigi.]
: I smell trouble with this Katie, regardless of your whole psychic name thing.
It's not psychic, that's not a real thing.
This is a gift.
It works, Gigi.
Try me.
Seriously.
Okay.
Harriet.
Smart, nerdy with an edge, original.
Interesting.
Someone you want to know.
Randy.
[sighs.]
Funny, class clown, baggy jeans, sneakers with no laces Big smile.
Unless Randy's a girl.
Then she's super cute, fun, giggly, with shiny straight hair.
Brunette.
It's uncanny.
Oh, my gosh, you're right, it is a gift.
I know.
Anyways, enough about me.
Back to Dad.
He met someone, this is good.
It would be better if he went out on a date with her, alone.
I have no problem having the whole family over.
Duh.
You don't cook, and they're boys.
Of course, you want to have them over.
He needs to spend time with her one-on-one, to see if they're compatible.
We need to facilitate this.
"Get it done.
" I didn't ask what it meant.
You didn't need to.
Jake.
Thinks he's cool, 'cause he is.
Has really good hair, loves his mother, - is into cars.
- It is a gift.
There's gotta be a way to market this.
Gigi's right about Dad.
If he's going to see if he really likes this woman, he needs to be alone with her.
Easy peasy.
We kidnap the boys.
Deviant behavior and committing a felony not required.
"Deviant," departing from a usual or accepted standards, or behaviors.
And? "Felony," a crime typically involving violence, more serious than a misdemeanor.
Will you, uh? Yes, they'll be on the flashcards.
I got you, bonita.
[chuckling.]
[whistling nonchalantly.]
What? Just give me a moment.
- Why? - Just give me a second.
- What are you looking at? - You.
Yeah, I wasn't sure, I needed a moment.
But now I am.
What are you talking about? I know that face.
- You do? - Yup.
Bad date face.
You are right on the money on that.
You are right on the sad, sad, pathetic money on that one.
Thought so.
Thanks.
I bought it for the boss, it's a little coffee with low-fat milk.
But I'm gonna give it to you because of the bad date face.
That is very nice of you.
I need this.
Don't tell anybody, it'll be our little secret.
My lips are sealed.
So tell me about him.
[groans.]
Oh, where to begin? Well, he lives with three roommates.
That's not a crime.
Rent can be expensive, you know? Yes, agreed, but this, uh, prince of a man doesn't pay rent, and he lives on the sofa.
Oh.
And then he asked me if I could pay for dinner because he only had $4.
00.
$4.
00 to take a woman to dinner? He sounds wonderful.
Yeah.
My advice? Put it behind you.
Don't even turn around to look that way, because you're not going that way, okay? Every experience is a new opportunity for growth.
Reading a lot of self-help books these days, Alan? You know it.
I'm actually thinking about being a life-coach.
Okay.
Well, good luck with that.
- I'll see you later.
- Oh, hey, let me see that for a second.
You can't.
You can't, 'cause he'll see.
He'll see.
The boss.
Ricky.
He'll see that I didn't bring him coffee.
I'll keep it here, I'll give it to you later.
I need it now.
I know, and I'm sorry.
It'll keep.
We'll microwave it.
It'll be so hot.
Are you actually taking back the coffee that you just gave me? Yeah, a little bit.
I'm sorry, I owe you one.
Huge.
Yeah.
[sighing.]
What's happening over there? Why are you lying down? I'm napping.
Why here? I gotta work, Steph.
Go.
Aw, come on, Boss.
This is the only couch.
I had a crappy date last night, and then I had a dream that I was single forever.
I didn't get a lot of sleep.
I don't understand why this is my problem, Steph.
Whatcha doing? I thought you were napping.
I can't sleep, I keep having that dream.
Single.
Forever.
Starring me.
Uh, what are you working on over there? Need help? Oh, no, thanks.
I'm just putting together a training package for a few boys.
Hmm, and by "boys," you mean, uh [imitates a macho man voice.]
: "Me and my boys," right? No, no, they're kids.
Eight, 12, and 15.
I need this job.
I wouldn't do well in jail.
I've seen that orange show, the one with the women in jail? [laughs wryly.]
Not for me.
I would not last.
Stephanie, I beg of you, make sense.
Ricky, legally, we can't have anyone working out here who's under 16.
You know, it's an insurance thing.
They would shut us down.
It's not for here.
I'm not charging them, I'm doing this on my own.
Private training with Coach Rick.
I met them in the park.
Great kids, terrific potential.
They're coming over for brunch.
Oh.
Cool.
Are they friends with the girls? No, the girls don't know them.
That's weird.
Oh, no, no, they have a mother.
You've lost me.
The mom is single.
I met them all at the park, they're all coming over for brunch, and then we're going to run some drills.
[clicks tongue.]
Uh, this is a date? With the drills? Yup.
Wow You are incredibly romantic.
The mother doesn't have to run the drills.
Well, she'll be relieved.
"The mother.
" Uh, so, what is she going to do while you work out her boys? Hang out with the girls have a mimosa.
Watch.
Aw, she'll love that.
You are bringing sexy back.
She's lucky [knocks on desktop.]
"The mother.
" [classical music playing.]
Thank you for coming.
This is very stressful.
Hashtag squad.
We got your back.
I know Sundays are fun days, so I appreciate it.
Mom would have loved this.
I think about her all the time, too.
Come on, let's watch.
And cringe.
[chuckles.]
Hey, Gigi, I didn't know you were allowed out of the science lab.
And it doesn't look like there's a part for a weird midget professor in the musical.
For your information, I'm actually in the 50th percentile in height for my age.
And they prefer "little person," or "person of short stature," and your attempt at being humorous falls flat, Peyton.
Well, your attempt at being normal falls flat.
And I heard what your audition song is, why not pick something from this century? Um Priscilla, is it? Um, Peyton, actually.
Do you know who I am? Mm-hmm? Then you'll know that when you get to high school, you'd best well, not show up at all, transfer even.
Try another town, or another state, because I'm there, at that high school, and Gigi is my sister and you're lucky to be in the same auditorium as her.
Got it? Yes, Mirabel.
Be nice to Gigi, or you'll have to deal with me.
- I'm really sorry.
- Good.
Look BossGirls see BossGirls, doesn't mean we gotta be BFFs.
But I see you, I respect you, and that's real.
What's not real, and not chill, is being a bully.
So be a little queen instead.
Stand proud, stand tall, and be nice to your subjects.
That was amazing.
Thank you.
It really was quite satisfying.
[chuckles.]
Now go kick some musical butt.
She's going down.
- Fast.
- Mm-hmm.
[exhaling.]
Y-You're going to hurt yourself.
[laughs.]
I'm pretty sure I can handle it.
[groaning and wheezing.]
Maybe I'll forgo the weights! [gasps.]
Do you have one of those rubber band thingies? Why are you choosing this moment to work out? I work out all the time.
No.
You don't.
I offered you a lifetime membership to the gym, and you've never been, so, you know, maybe you don't work out as much as you think.
Oh, bless your cotton socks, Ricardo.
I love you, but you don't know everything.
I work out.
I just do a rare form of Mixed Martial Arts that you don't offer at your gym, so I see.
Okay, well, uh, the offer is open.
You know, I mean, unless your Mixed Martial Arts regimen is taking up all your time.
Thank you, I'll, uh, I'll keep that in mind.
Yeah, just, uh, put everything up when you're done.
[door closes.]
Well, I was probably just gonna go home anyway, so You weren't so bad.
Really? No.
Sorry.
But that's okay.
I gave it my all.
Maybe I'll get something.
Maybe the chorus Or maybe they're going another way.
Who knows? Maybe I'll get a lead? Ah, it looks great, Elisa.
What are we having? It's not going to be my best effort.
I didn't have time to go to the store, so no muffins, no sticky buns.
I really need to learn how to bake.
Me too.
That was a joke? O-kay, I'll stick with the pretty.
No, it's okay, Hon.
It's not about the food.
Now, let's talk timing.
I'm thinking we do a 30-minute workout first.
Yeah, Mirabel, you're going to want to change.
That's a little dressy for baseball.
I'm not playing baseball.
Well, sure you are, we all are.
No, Daddy, we're having brunch.
I'm with them.
Really? Okay, all right, all right, yeah, I'll just, uh, I'll just play with the boys.
So, uh, how'd it go this morning? Did you crush it, Gigi? Not my best moment.
But I'm hopeful.
[doorbell rings.]
[grunts in victory.]
Look how excited you are.
You must like her a lot.
Who? Right! Yeah, the mother.
The mother, yes.
The mother - Hey.
- Hi! Come on in.
Oh, wow Rick, you weren't kidding.
Gorgeous girls.
[whispering.]
Just like I said.
You must be Mirabel.
I love your skirt.
We've got something like that at the store.
At the store? I manage Forever 21 at the mall.
[gasping.]
Forever 21 is like Mecca.
You know what Mecca is? - Impressed.
- You must be Gigi.
I love your name, that is my favorite musical.
- Thanks.
- And Elisa, Your dad told me that you're a really great cook.
I hope you don't mind that I brought lemon poppy-seed muffins for your spread.
I'm not a good cook, - but I'm a great baker.
- Can you teach me? I would love to.
Hey, Katie, you you look very nice.
Oh, thank you.
I love your "Coach" shirt.
Oh.
[chuckles.]
Yes.
Where are the boys? Oh, they couldn't make it.
They had a party that they wanted to go to, and I completely spaced when you asked us to brunch.
I don't believe this.
I do, Daddy.
I do it all the time.
I forget everything.
We are so alike, Katie.
[chuckles.]
Usually, I write everything on my phone, but I got this new phone, and I really just don't have a handle on it yet.
Oh, I'm sure I can figure it out, let me see.
Thank you.
- Let's sit down! - Oh, I would love to.
[laughing.]
[sighs .]
Here, the notes go here! Tap once, and start typing.
It syncs with your calendar.
How did you get so smart, Gigi? My mother, she was a teacher.
I'm smart.
O-Okay, she was smarter.
Uh, how long is the party? The one where the boys are.
Oh, I don't know, a couple of hours.
These waffles are fantastic.
I love them with the jam, it's a great touch.
Syrup's normally just a little bit too sweet for me.
I'm with you.
I hate soggy waffles.
The jam enhances the flavor.
So do you get a discount at your store? Mirabel! Uh, yeah.
I would love to take you shopping.
[sighs in delight.]
Do you think we can go after we eat? They have the best bookstore at the mall.
And a Williams Sonoma.
Can we go, Daddy? Sure, yeah.
This is the best day ever.
[muttering in frustration.]
Awesome.
Ow.
You don't have to throw so hard.
I can't help it, I'm a I know, I know, an athlete, an ex-pro-ball player, but buddy, I gotta tell you, you're also a show-off, and you're hurting my arm.
I'm sorry.
I'm just bummed, I really liked those boys.
You know, I thought they'd come over, and, you know I thought we'd do boy stuff.
You know, you can borrow my boys anytime, right? Yeah, I love your boys, but they're your boys.
I want my own boys.
Those boys are also not yours.
You know this, right? Of course! Yeah, but their dad's not around, and they're-they're ball players, you know? It was fun! It was like I was a kid again, you know, but also teaching and watching them play and learn, it was awesome.
Hmm.
It's just, uh I'm surrounded by girls.
You know, everywhere I look, there's a girl.
You know, I love my daughters more than anything in the world, but Nobody wants to play ball? Exactly.
You know, there was ball playing when they were young.
You know, I thought Elisa was gonna be on the softball track, but now I'm just I'm not so sure.
You know, now it's a lot of, uh clothes talk, and hair talk, and My boys talk about clothes and hair, too.
A lot.
I mean, it's boys, too.
You know, they're getting to be teenagers.
They're obsessed with the way they look, and I have no idea where they get it from.
[cell phone rings, novelty ballpark organ tone.]
Hello? Yes.
Hey! Hey, it's Ricky! She-she did? Yeah, sure, I'll come get you.
Yeah, we'll head to the park.
Yeah, just text me the address.
I'll bring the equipment.
[sighs with satisfaction.]
Sorry, Buddy, I gotta go, the boys need me.
Yes, the boys that are not mine.
Ow! I like it! Probably just gonna get my boys and throw the ball around.
Maybe get a workout in! [laughs.]
Who am I kidding? I'll probably just crawl into the man cave, play some video games, order a pizza.
Maybe two.
[chuckles.]
[starts car.]
There you go.
Nice.
Nice.
Great catch.
There you go.
Nice.
All right, okay, guys, I want to see you guys field.
Remember, watch the grounders.
Get under it, okay? Okay.
There you go.
Keep your head down.
All right, good job.
All right.
Under it, there you go, get under it, all the way.
I want you to watch the ball into the glove.
Get under it, all right? I'm going to go grab us some waters.
You guys just toss the ball around, okay? You bet.
[laughing.]
Three waters, please.
There you go.
Keep the change.
[breathing hard.]
- Hey! - Hey there.
Who's watching the gym? Oh, I got Alan holding it down.
Nothing like, uh, running into your boss when you're meant to be at work.
[derisively.]
Good job me.
Oh, it's fine, I get it.
Treadmill isn't quite the same.
Yeah, I needed a little air.
Uh, you want a water? No.
You-you okay? What's going on? Bad-date hangovers don't last this long.
They do when you have bad "dates," plural.
How many of these dates am I going to have to go on? I am so over telling my life story over three drinks or less.
And all these guys want is just one thing, and there is never any connection.
- Really? - Yeah.
No connection with a guy you met on an online dating site? I'm shocked.
[laughs.]
Why don't you meet someone the old-fashioned way, like, you know, at a at a bar? Guys my age aren't looking for a long-term relationship in a bar.
Unlike the guys on Tinder.
Well, we can't all marry our high school sweetheart, you know.
No, no, I guess not.
Oh, my God, I am so sorry.
That is one of the stupidest things I have ever said, and [laughs wryly.]
that's saying something.
No, it's fine, it's no big deal.
I was very lucky, and then, uh unlucky.
You know, is this your typical date conversation? Because you might want to stay away from tragic death as an icebreaker.
Thanks, boss, for offering some perspective on my pity party.
I feel like my hangover's going away.
Glad I could help.
So, where are the girls? Ah, at the mall.
I'm, uh, here with the boys.
Hey, boys! Hey.
Okay, then.
The boys that are not yours And where, might I ask, is the mother? Oh, at the mall, with my girls.
Ah.
You know, my brain is a little bit crowded to process this, so I'm going to go for another lap.
I will, uh, see you later.
Got a hot date tonight, Steph? Oh, yeah, you know it.
That's me, Hot Date Steph.
Whoo! All right, boys, come grab your waters! All right, great.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
There you go.
And whoop! Got that? Nice! All right.
[sighs.]
No one answers a text, a call, an email, so I came over, and no one was home.
That is on me.
I am so sorry.
- I'm Katie.
- I'm Rosa.
Hi.
So sorry, Abuela.
Our phones weren't on.
I'm not sure I heard you correctly.
You didn't have your phone on, the same phone that's perpetually attached to your hand? That one? Katie thinks it's good to unplug once in a while, and to be present in the moment.
Phones are a distraction from being where you actually are.
Is that so? Well, I'm impressed.
My boys hate me, but on weeknights, no screens.
[sighing in delight.]
Now I'm stunned.
[chuckles.]
Now, let's not get too crazy here.
You've done a really great job with those girls.
Oh they haven't had it easy.
Neither have you.
Would you care for some rose? It's after 5:00.
Oh, I would love some.
Tapas? Twist my arm.
Yes, please.
I love her.
She's awesome! Gigi, there's just one problem.
I know, it's too bad.
What? What is the problem? There is no problem, there can't be a problem.
She manages Forever 21.
Can't be a problem.
Dad's not into her.
No chemistry.
Well, we can work around that.
That's a tough one to work around.
One more time.
She manages Forever 21.
We have to find a way.
This is dead.
I need to use that.
Now.
"Daddy Daddy, I would like to use the computer if you are finished with it, please.
" Exactly.
That's what I meant to say.
But like, right now.
All right, all right, it's all yours.
What's up, what's up? They're posting the roles.
- Honey? - I'm a carrot.
Oh, that's great.
- I'm in the background.
- So? - I don't sing.
- Okay - I don't speak.
- Wow.
I can't even sit.
Well, at least you're not the tomato.
This is so depressing.
There will be other musicals.
I don't think so.
Not for this girl.
Gigi, get dressed.
Hurry.
Wow.
Wow, you look so beautiful.
Where are you guys headed off to? Katie's taking us to a matinee.
Abuela is coming, too.
Gigi! After what I've been through? I'm not going.
Certainly not to the theater! She didn't get it.
Duh.
Move on, Gigi.
Get up there and get dressed.
I do not intend on enjoying myself.
Poor thing.
She sucked.
And I mean that in the most loving way.
Uh, so, um, girls, how long is the theater usually? At least two hours, plus intermission.
Well, uh, why don't you take Katie and Abuela to lunch after? You know, in fact, take them some place really nice.
[Gigi calling.]
: I can't find my shoes! Has anyone seen them? Gigi, come on! Katie's gonna be here any minute! [Gigi calling.]
: I need some help! Help her.
Go.
I can't believe you.
You're so lame! [boy.]
: Hello? Hey, hey.
- Hey.
- Hey, Coach Rick here.
What are you and your brothers up to? Any interest in going to a ball game? I can pick you up in 20.
Can you get good seats? [laughing.]
Well, of course, I can get good seats.
Hel-lo! Cool.
Thanks.
Okay.
Okay, I'll see you then.
[car honks outside.]
Ah, she's here! [.]
[crowd roaring.]
Ah.
This way.
Hey! - Tricky Ricky Cooper! - [chuckling.]
Hey, dudes! Look who's here! It's Ricky Cooper! Hey, man, can I get an autograph? Yeah, sure.
I always bring one of these to the games, you know, just in case.
There you go.
Looking good, Coop.
Thanks, Bro.
There you go, my man There you go, sir.
[.]
[roaring.]
Kiai! Whoa! Wow! No way Way.
You were serious.
I'm telling you, man, it's a very important part of my life, Ricky.
Well, I-I'm so happy to hear that.
Good for you.
Hey, uh, you should come with me next time.
It'll do wonders for your physique.
Those problems spots? They'll disappear.
I'm telling you.
Lean [shouts.]
and mean! Whoa, lean and mean, right.
Right? I'm gonna take that under advisement.
Cool.
Later! Kiai! Oh, he was definitely my favorite.
[laughing and chatting together.]
Ooh, look at that one.
Hey, how was it? Hey.
Oh, it was just beautiful.
The costumes were amazing.
The singing, the dancing Oh, that sounds great.
You would have lasted 10 minutes.
At most.
The, uh, boys said they had an amazing time with you at the game.
No, it was awesome.
I just dropped them off at their friends' house for dinner.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
Are you free for dinner, Katie? Uh, yeah, I guess I am.
Oh, great, Rosa and Elisa are phenomenal cooks.
What are you guys whipping up tonight? Um, Dad, may I speak to you alone, please? Sure.
[whispering.]
Why don't you take Katie out for dinner? - Alone? - Yeah, Dad, alone.
Like a date? Of course.
Yeah.
It's yeah.
It's the right thing to do.
[clearing throat awkwardly.]
Uh, Katie, I-I was thinking, why don't you and I go out to dinner? Uh I would like that.
Sure.
Great.
I'll just go take a shower, and then I'll be right down.
Okay.
[clearing throat awkwardly.]
(Upbeat music playing) Ricky, can I top you up, bud? I'm good, thanks.
- Milady? - Yes.
Those bottles are so pretty.
They are, they are.
I like that, uh, that squarish one.
This? It's a tequila we just started selling.
I tried it on a buying trip to Mexico.
Sounds like my kind of trip.
Sounds like a trying vacation, Templeton.
Want a shot? Uh Uh, so, uh how long have you been working in retail? Oh, uh, right after college.
I enjoy it.
It seems like it would be fun.
Yeah.
How long have you liked sports? Since I can remember.
Your girls are so fantastic, Rick.
[slamming shot glass down.]
Yes.
I love those three.
They're amazing.
They always tell me I make the best Shirley Temples in town.
And you do.
and you do They are pretty special.
- And your boys are so much fun.
- Thank you.
I wish they were here.
[laughs.]
This isn't working out, is it? I want to break up.
[sighing.]
Yes, thank you! [laughing.]
I'm so happy.
That was really awkward.
You two are having a shot, and we'll call an Uber.
It's disappointing, though.
It is, it is.
It would be so good if we were actually Attracted to each other? Yeah, you can't do without that.
Well, y-you know you don't have to leave now.
Oh, no, no, I'm not calling an Uber, I'm calling Rosa and the girls for dinner.
Well, I-I think we should toast to that.
Okay.
Well, I certainly am relieved.
- Table? - Uh, yes, please.
[.]
[Katie.]
: Thank you.
I'm just with the boys all the time, and you're all so Awesome-sauce? Yes.
100% awesome-sauce.
I, too, am awesome-saucey.
The most.
[laughing and sighing.]
Oh, I guess I just got carried away with you girls, and my new BFF, Rosa.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
And I thought the boys were awesomesau No? Great kids.
Great, great, great kids Sometimes, we want something so badly, we pretend that it's there when it's not.
Listen to what you just said.
- What? - Exactly.
For someone who is so smart, Gigi, you're kinda dense.
You wanted that role in the musical, but somewhere, you knew you weren't a singer, but you wanted it anyway, so you went after it, even though it wasn't the right thing for you.
You have so much going for you, Gigi.
You could probably get into college now if you wanted.
But not everything is going to be as easy as school is for you.
Some things are harder.
You sound just like your mother.
I'm stunned.
You've got lots of brains behind all that hair.
[laughter.]
And I must say, you are so right! You can't force it if it's not there.
So true.
Fish guy, herring smell.
Long story, another time.
[laughter.]
Wait.
No, you two can't break up.
I can't bear it.
Mirabel! I'm still going to give you the discount at the store.
- Really? - Yeah.
[laughter.]
[crack of bat echoes.]
[wind gusting.]
We'll find her.
Someone we all like, and she'll have a good name.
And she'll be just right.
Dad? [snoring.]
Finally! He's usually out within 15.
That took forever.
Mirabel? On it, hermana.
I mean, how many times can we watch "Field of Dreams"? Ooh.
Who's up for "Princess Bride"? You know it.
What we do for him I know, right? It's Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, 24/7 around here.
He's a lucky guy.
This place is a mess.
It was last week, Abuela.
It's not a mess.
Oh, your father is late.
You know how Gigi gets when he's late.
She's like a mini train conductor.
And she's in a mood.
She's nervous about her audition, and let me tell you, I starred in the 2nd-grade musical, it's where careers are made, or dreams die.
Maybe a tad dramatic, Mirabel.
A musical? But Gigi doesn't sing.
She appears not to know that.
Abuela, I'm worried about Dad.
He's been so depressed.
Maybe we did the wrong thing, trying to fix him up.
Maybe he's not ready.
And maybe I did the wrong thing by moving out.
That's why I'm here, I wanted to make your father his favorite dinner.
This is not his favorite dinner.
Oh, I know.
I just couldn't deal with the fish market.
You know, I dated the owner a couple of times, and ooh, he smelled like herring.
Ugh, not for me.
Swipe left, thank you very much.
What? I'm on every dating site.
It's like shopping for men.
I like shopping.
I like men.
Two birds, one stone.
Not about you, Abuela.
Let's bring it back to Dad.
Daddy's depressed because he has no social life.
He needs to get online.
Like Abuela.
[groans.]
The thought of both my father and grandmother online dating is totally making my stomach hurt.
[door opens.]
[together.]
: Hi, Daddy! [claps in excitement.]
What a great day! You're late, Daddy.
Nice to see you, too.
[sniffing.]
Rosa, what did you make? It smells amazing! Don't patronize her.
Late is late.
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo! [Gigi protesting.]
: Daddy! Put me down! No, I'm not gonna do that, no, no, no.
Hey, whoa [sighing.]
Are you all set for your audition, Gigi? I hope so.
I'm singing "On The Street Where You Live" from "My Fair Lady.
" You can always rely on Lerner and Loewe.
Who? They wrote "Gigi.
" Giant poster in my bedroom? Like, for forever? You'll do great.
What's with you, Hijo? You seem so Happy.
I am.
I have some news.
We were just talking about how worried we are about you.
That you've been so bummed-out.
Don't tell him that, genius.
What happened, Daddy? [clears throat awkwardly.]
I met a woman.
[giggles.]
Aah, aah, aah Can I get a witness? Wow! I'm feelin' all right Just like I should should, should Best day of my life It feels so good good, good I'd bottle up this feeling if I could Oh yeah! [all together.]
: You met a woman? That's-that's-that's right, I did.
On your own? Well, yes, as shocking as that may seem, and I must say, it's kind of given me a little bounce in my step.
How much bounce? Too much bounce, maybe not so good at first.
A little bounce, I like.
A lot? No es bueno Don't worry about the bounce, Rosa.
- What's she like? - Is she pretty? - What does she do for a living? - Is she Latina? Wow, that's, uh, that's a lot of questions.
Um, can we eat? [clearing throat.]
[chuckles.]
Okay, all right.
She has three boys, same ages as you girls - Let us pray.
- I know, right? Three boys? Totally amazeballs.
No, I meant, let us pray, before we eat? Where'd you meet her? Dear God, thank you for this At the park.
Deets, please, Daddy.
Did you just walk up to her? Was she sitting on a bench? Amazing food and for my family Was she doing yoga with the people in the park with the robes by the fountain? No, she was not doing yoga, or sitting on a bench.
She was, uh, sitting on a blanket.
And yes, I just walked up to her.
Aggressive, I like it.
I'm praying here! [all together.]
: Amen.
Seriously.
Tell us what happened.
Okay, well, I was, uh, I was training your Uncle Bill, and she was just hanging out, you know, watching her boys play baseball.
Um, baseball [doubtfully.]
Were they? Well, you know, they weren't, you know, actually playing a game, they were just, you know, tossing the ball around.
What? Why are you all looking at me like that? Please tell me you didn't.
You did, didn't you? Aye, Dios mio.
Again? He absolutely did.
What? I don't-I don't get it.
You were showing off, weren't you? Of course he was.
I was not.
Oh, okay, maybe just a little.
I knew it.
It's not his fault.
It's the male animal instinct.
Take the male peacock.
The lesson in ornithology is not necessary.
In what? The study of birds.
Or-ni- thol-o-gy.
I'll add it to your flashcards.
You need to slow your roll, little girl.
Daddy is not a peacock.
I was not showing off.
Okay? Look, I'm a professional baseball player, people.
[together.]
: An EX-professional baseball player.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, but when I play ball, I play ball.
When I play ball, I play ball.
[laughing.]
Okay, okay, point taken.
You know, but it was no big deal.
I was just, you know giving the boys some pointers.
Now what? I am so outnumbered here.
May I take this? What's she like, Daddy? Who? The mother.
Oh.
She's very nice.
Does she have a name? Katie.
Her name is Katie.
Good name.
Katie's cute, fun, wears good jeans, has great hair, prefers ankle boots to high-heels.
I like her.
What are you talking about? I can only guess what's coming.
Do you know this woman, Mirabel? No, Abuela, I just have this really cool talent.
Give me any name, and I can conjure up what the person is like just by hearing their name.
It's a gift.
It's something.
When are you going out with her? Don't wear a baseball cap.
Pick her up, don't meet her there.
Take her somewhere romantic, like that place on the water.
Or maybe somewhere casual.
You don't want to appear desperate on the first date.
Got it.
Don't appear desperate.
But, you know, we're not actually, uh, you know going out on a date.
You know, I'm just gonna have some chicken.
I don't understand.
Give me the chicken, Elisa.
Just give it to me.
[sighs.]
Well [chuckles awkwardly.]
You know, uh they're all, you know, coming over for brunch.
I wonder if we still have those weighted bats in the garage.
Rosa, really, this just looks and smells delish.
Mm! So good.
You know what, the boys would like this.
You know, you guys are gonna have so much fun.
Yeah, it'll be great.
Mm May I get the chicken now? - Fine.
- Thank you.
[Gigi.]
: I smell trouble with this Katie, regardless of your whole psychic name thing.
It's not psychic, that's not a real thing.
This is a gift.
It works, Gigi.
Try me.
Seriously.
Okay.
Harriet.
Smart, nerdy with an edge, original.
Interesting.
Someone you want to know.
Randy.
[sighs.]
Funny, class clown, baggy jeans, sneakers with no laces Big smile.
Unless Randy's a girl.
Then she's super cute, fun, giggly, with shiny straight hair.
Brunette.
It's uncanny.
Oh, my gosh, you're right, it is a gift.
I know.
Anyways, enough about me.
Back to Dad.
He met someone, this is good.
It would be better if he went out on a date with her, alone.
I have no problem having the whole family over.
Duh.
You don't cook, and they're boys.
Of course, you want to have them over.
He needs to spend time with her one-on-one, to see if they're compatible.
We need to facilitate this.
"Get it done.
" I didn't ask what it meant.
You didn't need to.
Jake.
Thinks he's cool, 'cause he is.
Has really good hair, loves his mother, - is into cars.
- It is a gift.
There's gotta be a way to market this.
Gigi's right about Dad.
If he's going to see if he really likes this woman, he needs to be alone with her.
Easy peasy.
We kidnap the boys.
Deviant behavior and committing a felony not required.
"Deviant," departing from a usual or accepted standards, or behaviors.
And? "Felony," a crime typically involving violence, more serious than a misdemeanor.
Will you, uh? Yes, they'll be on the flashcards.
I got you, bonita.
[chuckling.]
[whistling nonchalantly.]
What? Just give me a moment.
- Why? - Just give me a second.
- What are you looking at? - You.
Yeah, I wasn't sure, I needed a moment.
But now I am.
What are you talking about? I know that face.
- You do? - Yup.
Bad date face.
You are right on the money on that.
You are right on the sad, sad, pathetic money on that one.
Thought so.
Thanks.
I bought it for the boss, it's a little coffee with low-fat milk.
But I'm gonna give it to you because of the bad date face.
That is very nice of you.
I need this.
Don't tell anybody, it'll be our little secret.
My lips are sealed.
So tell me about him.
[groans.]
Oh, where to begin? Well, he lives with three roommates.
That's not a crime.
Rent can be expensive, you know? Yes, agreed, but this, uh, prince of a man doesn't pay rent, and he lives on the sofa.
Oh.
And then he asked me if I could pay for dinner because he only had $4.
00.
$4.
00 to take a woman to dinner? He sounds wonderful.
Yeah.
My advice? Put it behind you.
Don't even turn around to look that way, because you're not going that way, okay? Every experience is a new opportunity for growth.
Reading a lot of self-help books these days, Alan? You know it.
I'm actually thinking about being a life-coach.
Okay.
Well, good luck with that.
- I'll see you later.
- Oh, hey, let me see that for a second.
You can't.
You can't, 'cause he'll see.
He'll see.
The boss.
Ricky.
He'll see that I didn't bring him coffee.
I'll keep it here, I'll give it to you later.
I need it now.
I know, and I'm sorry.
It'll keep.
We'll microwave it.
It'll be so hot.
Are you actually taking back the coffee that you just gave me? Yeah, a little bit.
I'm sorry, I owe you one.
Huge.
Yeah.
[sighing.]
What's happening over there? Why are you lying down? I'm napping.
Why here? I gotta work, Steph.
Go.
Aw, come on, Boss.
This is the only couch.
I had a crappy date last night, and then I had a dream that I was single forever.
I didn't get a lot of sleep.
I don't understand why this is my problem, Steph.
Whatcha doing? I thought you were napping.
I can't sleep, I keep having that dream.
Single.
Forever.
Starring me.
Uh, what are you working on over there? Need help? Oh, no, thanks.
I'm just putting together a training package for a few boys.
Hmm, and by "boys," you mean, uh [imitates a macho man voice.]
: "Me and my boys," right? No, no, they're kids.
Eight, 12, and 15.
I need this job.
I wouldn't do well in jail.
I've seen that orange show, the one with the women in jail? [laughs wryly.]
Not for me.
I would not last.
Stephanie, I beg of you, make sense.
Ricky, legally, we can't have anyone working out here who's under 16.
You know, it's an insurance thing.
They would shut us down.
It's not for here.
I'm not charging them, I'm doing this on my own.
Private training with Coach Rick.
I met them in the park.
Great kids, terrific potential.
They're coming over for brunch.
Oh.
Cool.
Are they friends with the girls? No, the girls don't know them.
That's weird.
Oh, no, no, they have a mother.
You've lost me.
The mom is single.
I met them all at the park, they're all coming over for brunch, and then we're going to run some drills.
[clicks tongue.]
Uh, this is a date? With the drills? Yup.
Wow You are incredibly romantic.
The mother doesn't have to run the drills.
Well, she'll be relieved.
"The mother.
" Uh, so, what is she going to do while you work out her boys? Hang out with the girls have a mimosa.
Watch.
Aw, she'll love that.
You are bringing sexy back.
She's lucky [knocks on desktop.]
"The mother.
" [classical music playing.]
Thank you for coming.
This is very stressful.
Hashtag squad.
We got your back.
I know Sundays are fun days, so I appreciate it.
Mom would have loved this.
I think about her all the time, too.
Come on, let's watch.
And cringe.
[chuckles.]
Hey, Gigi, I didn't know you were allowed out of the science lab.
And it doesn't look like there's a part for a weird midget professor in the musical.
For your information, I'm actually in the 50th percentile in height for my age.
And they prefer "little person," or "person of short stature," and your attempt at being humorous falls flat, Peyton.
Well, your attempt at being normal falls flat.
And I heard what your audition song is, why not pick something from this century? Um Priscilla, is it? Um, Peyton, actually.
Do you know who I am? Mm-hmm? Then you'll know that when you get to high school, you'd best well, not show up at all, transfer even.
Try another town, or another state, because I'm there, at that high school, and Gigi is my sister and you're lucky to be in the same auditorium as her.
Got it? Yes, Mirabel.
Be nice to Gigi, or you'll have to deal with me.
- I'm really sorry.
- Good.
Look BossGirls see BossGirls, doesn't mean we gotta be BFFs.
But I see you, I respect you, and that's real.
What's not real, and not chill, is being a bully.
So be a little queen instead.
Stand proud, stand tall, and be nice to your subjects.
That was amazing.
Thank you.
It really was quite satisfying.
[chuckles.]
Now go kick some musical butt.
She's going down.
- Fast.
- Mm-hmm.
[exhaling.]
Y-You're going to hurt yourself.
[laughs.]
I'm pretty sure I can handle it.
[groaning and wheezing.]
Maybe I'll forgo the weights! [gasps.]
Do you have one of those rubber band thingies? Why are you choosing this moment to work out? I work out all the time.
No.
You don't.
I offered you a lifetime membership to the gym, and you've never been, so, you know, maybe you don't work out as much as you think.
Oh, bless your cotton socks, Ricardo.
I love you, but you don't know everything.
I work out.
I just do a rare form of Mixed Martial Arts that you don't offer at your gym, so I see.
Okay, well, uh, the offer is open.
You know, I mean, unless your Mixed Martial Arts regimen is taking up all your time.
Thank you, I'll, uh, I'll keep that in mind.
Yeah, just, uh, put everything up when you're done.
[door closes.]
Well, I was probably just gonna go home anyway, so You weren't so bad.
Really? No.
Sorry.
But that's okay.
I gave it my all.
Maybe I'll get something.
Maybe the chorus Or maybe they're going another way.
Who knows? Maybe I'll get a lead? Ah, it looks great, Elisa.
What are we having? It's not going to be my best effort.
I didn't have time to go to the store, so no muffins, no sticky buns.
I really need to learn how to bake.
Me too.
That was a joke? O-kay, I'll stick with the pretty.
No, it's okay, Hon.
It's not about the food.
Now, let's talk timing.
I'm thinking we do a 30-minute workout first.
Yeah, Mirabel, you're going to want to change.
That's a little dressy for baseball.
I'm not playing baseball.
Well, sure you are, we all are.
No, Daddy, we're having brunch.
I'm with them.
Really? Okay, all right, all right, yeah, I'll just, uh, I'll just play with the boys.
So, uh, how'd it go this morning? Did you crush it, Gigi? Not my best moment.
But I'm hopeful.
[doorbell rings.]
[grunts in victory.]
Look how excited you are.
You must like her a lot.
Who? Right! Yeah, the mother.
The mother, yes.
The mother - Hey.
- Hi! Come on in.
Oh, wow Rick, you weren't kidding.
Gorgeous girls.
[whispering.]
Just like I said.
You must be Mirabel.
I love your skirt.
We've got something like that at the store.
At the store? I manage Forever 21 at the mall.
[gasping.]
Forever 21 is like Mecca.
You know what Mecca is? - Impressed.
- You must be Gigi.
I love your name, that is my favorite musical.
- Thanks.
- And Elisa, Your dad told me that you're a really great cook.
I hope you don't mind that I brought lemon poppy-seed muffins for your spread.
I'm not a good cook, - but I'm a great baker.
- Can you teach me? I would love to.
Hey, Katie, you you look very nice.
Oh, thank you.
I love your "Coach" shirt.
Oh.
[chuckles.]
Yes.
Where are the boys? Oh, they couldn't make it.
They had a party that they wanted to go to, and I completely spaced when you asked us to brunch.
I don't believe this.
I do, Daddy.
I do it all the time.
I forget everything.
We are so alike, Katie.
[chuckles.]
Usually, I write everything on my phone, but I got this new phone, and I really just don't have a handle on it yet.
Oh, I'm sure I can figure it out, let me see.
Thank you.
- Let's sit down! - Oh, I would love to.
[laughing.]
[sighs .]
Here, the notes go here! Tap once, and start typing.
It syncs with your calendar.
How did you get so smart, Gigi? My mother, she was a teacher.
I'm smart.
O-Okay, she was smarter.
Uh, how long is the party? The one where the boys are.
Oh, I don't know, a couple of hours.
These waffles are fantastic.
I love them with the jam, it's a great touch.
Syrup's normally just a little bit too sweet for me.
I'm with you.
I hate soggy waffles.
The jam enhances the flavor.
So do you get a discount at your store? Mirabel! Uh, yeah.
I would love to take you shopping.
[sighs in delight.]
Do you think we can go after we eat? They have the best bookstore at the mall.
And a Williams Sonoma.
Can we go, Daddy? Sure, yeah.
This is the best day ever.
[muttering in frustration.]
Awesome.
Ow.
You don't have to throw so hard.
I can't help it, I'm a I know, I know, an athlete, an ex-pro-ball player, but buddy, I gotta tell you, you're also a show-off, and you're hurting my arm.
I'm sorry.
I'm just bummed, I really liked those boys.
You know, I thought they'd come over, and, you know I thought we'd do boy stuff.
You know, you can borrow my boys anytime, right? Yeah, I love your boys, but they're your boys.
I want my own boys.
Those boys are also not yours.
You know this, right? Of course! Yeah, but their dad's not around, and they're-they're ball players, you know? It was fun! It was like I was a kid again, you know, but also teaching and watching them play and learn, it was awesome.
Hmm.
It's just, uh I'm surrounded by girls.
You know, everywhere I look, there's a girl.
You know, I love my daughters more than anything in the world, but Nobody wants to play ball? Exactly.
You know, there was ball playing when they were young.
You know, I thought Elisa was gonna be on the softball track, but now I'm just I'm not so sure.
You know, now it's a lot of, uh clothes talk, and hair talk, and My boys talk about clothes and hair, too.
A lot.
I mean, it's boys, too.
You know, they're getting to be teenagers.
They're obsessed with the way they look, and I have no idea where they get it from.
[cell phone rings, novelty ballpark organ tone.]
Hello? Yes.
Hey! Hey, it's Ricky! She-she did? Yeah, sure, I'll come get you.
Yeah, we'll head to the park.
Yeah, just text me the address.
I'll bring the equipment.
[sighs with satisfaction.]
Sorry, Buddy, I gotta go, the boys need me.
Yes, the boys that are not mine.
Ow! I like it! Probably just gonna get my boys and throw the ball around.
Maybe get a workout in! [laughs.]
Who am I kidding? I'll probably just crawl into the man cave, play some video games, order a pizza.
Maybe two.
[chuckles.]
[starts car.]
There you go.
Nice.
Nice.
Great catch.
There you go.
Nice.
All right, okay, guys, I want to see you guys field.
Remember, watch the grounders.
Get under it, okay? Okay.
There you go.
Keep your head down.
All right, good job.
All right.
Under it, there you go, get under it, all the way.
I want you to watch the ball into the glove.
Get under it, all right? I'm going to go grab us some waters.
You guys just toss the ball around, okay? You bet.
[laughing.]
Three waters, please.
There you go.
Keep the change.
[breathing hard.]
- Hey! - Hey there.
Who's watching the gym? Oh, I got Alan holding it down.
Nothing like, uh, running into your boss when you're meant to be at work.
[derisively.]
Good job me.
Oh, it's fine, I get it.
Treadmill isn't quite the same.
Yeah, I needed a little air.
Uh, you want a water? No.
You-you okay? What's going on? Bad-date hangovers don't last this long.
They do when you have bad "dates," plural.
How many of these dates am I going to have to go on? I am so over telling my life story over three drinks or less.
And all these guys want is just one thing, and there is never any connection.
- Really? - Yeah.
No connection with a guy you met on an online dating site? I'm shocked.
[laughs.]
Why don't you meet someone the old-fashioned way, like, you know, at a at a bar? Guys my age aren't looking for a long-term relationship in a bar.
Unlike the guys on Tinder.
Well, we can't all marry our high school sweetheart, you know.
No, no, I guess not.
Oh, my God, I am so sorry.
That is one of the stupidest things I have ever said, and [laughs wryly.]
that's saying something.
No, it's fine, it's no big deal.
I was very lucky, and then, uh unlucky.
You know, is this your typical date conversation? Because you might want to stay away from tragic death as an icebreaker.
Thanks, boss, for offering some perspective on my pity party.
I feel like my hangover's going away.
Glad I could help.
So, where are the girls? Ah, at the mall.
I'm, uh, here with the boys.
Hey, boys! Hey.
Okay, then.
The boys that are not yours And where, might I ask, is the mother? Oh, at the mall, with my girls.
Ah.
You know, my brain is a little bit crowded to process this, so I'm going to go for another lap.
I will, uh, see you later.
Got a hot date tonight, Steph? Oh, yeah, you know it.
That's me, Hot Date Steph.
Whoo! All right, boys, come grab your waters! All right, great.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
There you go.
And whoop! Got that? Nice! All right.
[sighs.]
No one answers a text, a call, an email, so I came over, and no one was home.
That is on me.
I am so sorry.
- I'm Katie.
- I'm Rosa.
Hi.
So sorry, Abuela.
Our phones weren't on.
I'm not sure I heard you correctly.
You didn't have your phone on, the same phone that's perpetually attached to your hand? That one? Katie thinks it's good to unplug once in a while, and to be present in the moment.
Phones are a distraction from being where you actually are.
Is that so? Well, I'm impressed.
My boys hate me, but on weeknights, no screens.
[sighing in delight.]
Now I'm stunned.
[chuckles.]
Now, let's not get too crazy here.
You've done a really great job with those girls.
Oh they haven't had it easy.
Neither have you.
Would you care for some rose? It's after 5:00.
Oh, I would love some.
Tapas? Twist my arm.
Yes, please.
I love her.
She's awesome! Gigi, there's just one problem.
I know, it's too bad.
What? What is the problem? There is no problem, there can't be a problem.
She manages Forever 21.
Can't be a problem.
Dad's not into her.
No chemistry.
Well, we can work around that.
That's a tough one to work around.
One more time.
She manages Forever 21.
We have to find a way.
This is dead.
I need to use that.
Now.
"Daddy Daddy, I would like to use the computer if you are finished with it, please.
" Exactly.
That's what I meant to say.
But like, right now.
All right, all right, it's all yours.
What's up, what's up? They're posting the roles.
- Honey? - I'm a carrot.
Oh, that's great.
- I'm in the background.
- So? - I don't sing.
- Okay - I don't speak.
- Wow.
I can't even sit.
Well, at least you're not the tomato.
This is so depressing.
There will be other musicals.
I don't think so.
Not for this girl.
Gigi, get dressed.
Hurry.
Wow.
Wow, you look so beautiful.
Where are you guys headed off to? Katie's taking us to a matinee.
Abuela is coming, too.
Gigi! After what I've been through? I'm not going.
Certainly not to the theater! She didn't get it.
Duh.
Move on, Gigi.
Get up there and get dressed.
I do not intend on enjoying myself.
Poor thing.
She sucked.
And I mean that in the most loving way.
Uh, so, um, girls, how long is the theater usually? At least two hours, plus intermission.
Well, uh, why don't you take Katie and Abuela to lunch after? You know, in fact, take them some place really nice.
[Gigi calling.]
: I can't find my shoes! Has anyone seen them? Gigi, come on! Katie's gonna be here any minute! [Gigi calling.]
: I need some help! Help her.
Go.
I can't believe you.
You're so lame! [boy.]
: Hello? Hey, hey.
- Hey.
- Hey, Coach Rick here.
What are you and your brothers up to? Any interest in going to a ball game? I can pick you up in 20.
Can you get good seats? [laughing.]
Well, of course, I can get good seats.
Hel-lo! Cool.
Thanks.
Okay.
Okay, I'll see you then.
[car honks outside.]
Ah, she's here! [.]
[crowd roaring.]
Ah.
This way.
Hey! - Tricky Ricky Cooper! - [chuckling.]
Hey, dudes! Look who's here! It's Ricky Cooper! Hey, man, can I get an autograph? Yeah, sure.
I always bring one of these to the games, you know, just in case.
There you go.
Looking good, Coop.
Thanks, Bro.
There you go, my man There you go, sir.
[.]
[roaring.]
Kiai! Whoa! Wow! No way Way.
You were serious.
I'm telling you, man, it's a very important part of my life, Ricky.
Well, I-I'm so happy to hear that.
Good for you.
Hey, uh, you should come with me next time.
It'll do wonders for your physique.
Those problems spots? They'll disappear.
I'm telling you.
Lean [shouts.]
and mean! Whoa, lean and mean, right.
Right? I'm gonna take that under advisement.
Cool.
Later! Kiai! Oh, he was definitely my favorite.
[laughing and chatting together.]
Ooh, look at that one.
Hey, how was it? Hey.
Oh, it was just beautiful.
The costumes were amazing.
The singing, the dancing Oh, that sounds great.
You would have lasted 10 minutes.
At most.
The, uh, boys said they had an amazing time with you at the game.
No, it was awesome.
I just dropped them off at their friends' house for dinner.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
Are you free for dinner, Katie? Uh, yeah, I guess I am.
Oh, great, Rosa and Elisa are phenomenal cooks.
What are you guys whipping up tonight? Um, Dad, may I speak to you alone, please? Sure.
[whispering.]
Why don't you take Katie out for dinner? - Alone? - Yeah, Dad, alone.
Like a date? Of course.
Yeah.
It's yeah.
It's the right thing to do.
[clearing throat awkwardly.]
Uh, Katie, I-I was thinking, why don't you and I go out to dinner? Uh I would like that.
Sure.
Great.
I'll just go take a shower, and then I'll be right down.
Okay.
[clearing throat awkwardly.]
(Upbeat music playing) Ricky, can I top you up, bud? I'm good, thanks.
- Milady? - Yes.
Those bottles are so pretty.
They are, they are.
I like that, uh, that squarish one.
This? It's a tequila we just started selling.
I tried it on a buying trip to Mexico.
Sounds like my kind of trip.
Sounds like a trying vacation, Templeton.
Want a shot? Uh Uh, so, uh how long have you been working in retail? Oh, uh, right after college.
I enjoy it.
It seems like it would be fun.
Yeah.
How long have you liked sports? Since I can remember.
Your girls are so fantastic, Rick.
[slamming shot glass down.]
Yes.
I love those three.
They're amazing.
They always tell me I make the best Shirley Temples in town.
And you do.
and you do They are pretty special.
- And your boys are so much fun.
- Thank you.
I wish they were here.
[laughs.]
This isn't working out, is it? I want to break up.
[sighing.]
Yes, thank you! [laughing.]
I'm so happy.
That was really awkward.
You two are having a shot, and we'll call an Uber.
It's disappointing, though.
It is, it is.
It would be so good if we were actually Attracted to each other? Yeah, you can't do without that.
Well, y-you know you don't have to leave now.
Oh, no, no, I'm not calling an Uber, I'm calling Rosa and the girls for dinner.
Well, I-I think we should toast to that.
Okay.
Well, I certainly am relieved.
- Table? - Uh, yes, please.
[.]
[Katie.]
: Thank you.
I'm just with the boys all the time, and you're all so Awesome-sauce? Yes.
100% awesome-sauce.
I, too, am awesome-saucey.
The most.
[laughing and sighing.]
Oh, I guess I just got carried away with you girls, and my new BFF, Rosa.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
And I thought the boys were awesomesau No? Great kids.
Great, great, great kids Sometimes, we want something so badly, we pretend that it's there when it's not.
Listen to what you just said.
- What? - Exactly.
For someone who is so smart, Gigi, you're kinda dense.
You wanted that role in the musical, but somewhere, you knew you weren't a singer, but you wanted it anyway, so you went after it, even though it wasn't the right thing for you.
You have so much going for you, Gigi.
You could probably get into college now if you wanted.
But not everything is going to be as easy as school is for you.
Some things are harder.
You sound just like your mother.
I'm stunned.
You've got lots of brains behind all that hair.
[laughter.]
And I must say, you are so right! You can't force it if it's not there.
So true.
Fish guy, herring smell.
Long story, another time.
[laughter.]
Wait.
No, you two can't break up.
I can't bear it.
Mirabel! I'm still going to give you the discount at the store.
- Really? - Yeah.
[laughter.]
[crack of bat echoes.]
[wind gusting.]
We'll find her.
Someone we all like, and she'll have a good name.
And she'll be just right.
Dad? [snoring.]
Finally! He's usually out within 15.
That took forever.
Mirabel? On it, hermana.
I mean, how many times can we watch "Field of Dreams"? Ooh.
Who's up for "Princess Bride"? You know it.
What we do for him I know, right? It's Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, 24/7 around here.
He's a lucky guy.
