Previously on Georgie and
Mandy's First Marriage
Hey, Connie.
What's going on?
Nothing.
[phone rings]
Who calls a pay phone?
[whispers]:
Are you selling drugs?
Don't be crazy,
I'm not a drug dealer.
Okay, well, then what?
I'm a bookie.
If you need money, why don't you
just go out and get a real job?
I made 700 bucks yesterday.
What did you make?
I'm not handling any money.
I just take bets for
her when Dale's home.
That's still illegal.
What are you thinking?
You're a mom!
Oh, come on, I supported
your criminal activities.
The least you can
do is support mine.

There you go.
Oh, hey, Connie.
Hey.
I just need
a cup of coffee to go.
Yeah, sure, no problem.
And to see if you might be
interested in a little, uh
side work.
[gasps]
Are we talking bookie work?
Thank you for saying that
out loud.
[whispers]:
Sorry, I get excited.
I just need a little help
with a sticky collection.
Okay, who is it?
Your dad.
That is sticky.

[coos]

Oh, there you are.
Yep.
Doing my own laundry
'cause that's just the kind
of husband I am.
You want me to give you a medal?
Mm, medal's
a bit much, but
there might be other stuff
you could give me.
Do you ever think
about anything else?
Not really.
It's impressive
I get anything done.
Well, anyway,
your meemaw asked me
to help her out
with a little business.
Bookie business?
Hey, be cool, okay?
We don't say it out loud.
I thought
you were done with that.
I was, but
this is a special circumstance.
What's going on?
Well, it seems my dad lost money
to her and hasn't paid her yet.
Aw, man.
I'm sorry she put you
in the middle of this.
Um, actually, it's great.
What?
Yeah, I mean,
he's always giving me crap
about how I am with money,
and now I got him.
Honestly, this must be
what heroin feels like.
Well, you're not upset
your dad's gambling?
Hello, I got him.
TV ANNOUNCER:
Stay tuned for Wheel of Fortune.
I heard Vanna White was
in Playboy.
Is that true?
May 1987.
How do you know that?
Because it was very tasteful.
And I was disappointed.
Hey, Grandma, how you feel about
giving this one her bath tonight?
I would love nothing more.
And no tooting in the tub.
I know your daddy thinks
it's funny,
but we are ladies.
[clears throat]
Well, this is nice,
just the two of us.
Sure, I guess.
Mm-hmm, watching a little TV?
Yeah, Wheel is coming up.
Cool.
You ever gonna pay Connie
the money you owe her?
What?
I know about your betting.
I can't believe you
[shushing] Look.
It's not a big deal.
This was the first time.
- Dad.
- The first time I lost.
- Dad.
- The first time I lost this much.
I can't believe
you didn't pay her.
I'm gonna.
Okay, well
here I am,
1,200 bucks, let's go.
[chuckles] No, if I pay all
at once, your mother will know.
So?
Try to keep up here.
I don't want her to.
Well, then you better pay.
You know I'm good for it.
I don't know a lot of things,
like I didn't know
you were a deadbeat.
I ain't no deadbeat.
And this whole time you have
been on me about my debt.
[chuckles]
That ain't the same.
Agreed.
I got a closet
full of purses and shoes.
You got nothing,
now pay up.
Or what?
Or I'll tell Mom.
- Snitch.
- Deadbeat.
How was your weekend?
Just swell.
Aren't you gonna ask me
about mine?
I wasn't planning on it.
Saw that movie Braveheart.
For a dude
in a skirt and makeup,
he's a badass.
I don't care.
What's his problem?
Oh, don't worry, it ain't you.
I'm not worried, I'm nosy.
Just leave it alone.
Nobody likes
to chitchat anymore.
Got a minute?
I do not.
Mandy told me
about your situation.
[sighs] Well, this ain't
none of your business.
Well, she's my meemaw,
so it kind of is.
I already worked
this out with Mandy.
- You paid up?
- I made a payment.
- So y'all are good?
- Yes.
In 23 more payments.
What's that mean?
[sighs]
I'm doing it a little at a time
so Audrey don't notice.
Well, do you have some kind
of gambling problem?
No.
Then why are you keeping
things from Mrs. McAllister?
It's just one thing.
What about the trip
to the riverboat casino?
That was on water.
It's different.
Mr. McAllister.
All right, look,
it's just a hobby.
I'm allowed to have a hobby.
Okay, well,
we're fixing up your Mustang.
Ain't that a hobby?
You're right, that solves it.
Get out.
Okay, talked to my dad.
There you go.
$50?
He owes me $1,200.
No, he owes you $1,200
minus $50.
This is just
the first installment.
Okay, he's good for it.
This ain't a layaway.
He's not buying a blouse
at Dillard's.
Hey, what's going on?
Well, my dad owes her.
I told you not to take money
from family,
but you never listen.
Speaking of not listening,
ignore him.
Look, you'll get your money.
What, I have to wait months?
She might not make it that long.
You may not make it to dinner.
Now, look.
If I let your dad slide,
I get a reputation
for being soft.
All of a sudden,
nobody pays up.
Well
I can help out a little.
What you got?
$17 and
baggie of Cheerios.
You need
a little muscle?
[deeper voice]:
I'm right here.
Thank you so much.
Very comforting.
Just try to avoid my naptime.
Look, can you handle this,
or do I need to get involved?
Yeah, I can handle it.
Well, good.
Would you like some cookies?
Fresh from the oven.
You're a weird grandma.
She wants all of it at once.
[scoffs] Why don't you
let me talk to her?
I'm her favorite.
Are you?
Sheldon moved away and
Missy called her a bitch last week,
so yeah.
You know, I think you might
need a little backup.
What you got in mind?
[knocking]
Isn't this
a nice surprise?
- CeeCee missed her meemaw.
- Aw.
I missed her, too.
Aren't you the cutest thing?
[laughs]
Can you believe your daddy
thinks I'm a complete idiot?
What are you
talking about?
Oh, you've come over
here to butter me up.
No.
She's here to butter you up.
She's cute,
but she ain't $1,200 cute.
I'll settle it with Jim myself.
What, you gonna have
his knees broken?
No. His balls.
Can you say "balls"?
Hello?
Oh, hi, Connie, how are you?
Is that so?
Well, thank you for telling me.
Oh, don't worry.
One way or another, he'll pay.
Who was that?
Just someone wanting money.
Ugh, that is
so annoying.
It sure is.
Did you use margarine
in the mashed potatoes?
I didn't think
you'd notice.
Guess I would've
lost that bet.
They taste fine to me.
The hydrogenated fats and
triglycerides don't bother you?
Must be nice.
Georgie, I've been
meaning to ask,
how is your meemaw doing?
Oh, you know her--
drinking, smoking,
hitting gophers
with a golf club.
The usual.
We should ask her and Dale
to come over for dinner.
Wouldn't that be nice, Jim?
Well, I don't know,
drinking, smoking--
do you really want
that around your children?
We are impressionable.
Don't be silly, I'm
gonna give her a call.
I'll talk to her.
Thank you.
Let her know she doesn't need
to bring anything.
- Will do.
- And when she's here,
ask her not to take
any more bets from my husband.
[chokes]
Daddy!
Cut the "Daddy" crap.
I know you're in on it.
Mandy!
Nice try.
Thank you.
I can't believe you.
And I can't believe
none of you told me.
- I didn't know.
- Of course not, honey.
I still don't know.
What is happening?
I should've told you.
No, you never should've been
making bets in the first place.
All right,
I'll take care of it.
You've done enough.
I'll take care of it.
Okay, I got it.
Dad lost all our money,
and now we have to eat margarine.

MEEMAW:
Sorry you had
to find out like that.
But he left me no choice.
Well,
he won't be doing it again.
[chuckles]
So, you got something for me?
No, I think we're good.
You realize he still owes me
a lot of money.
I do. We're not paying.
Yes, you are. He made a bet.
So did you; that he would pay.
You lost.
[laughs]
That ain't the way this works.
Well, sports betting is illegal
in the state of Texas.
We owe you nothing.
[chuckles]
You're really starting
to piss me off.
We can always call the police
and see what they have to say.
You wouldn't dare.
Wouldn't I?
I go down, I take
your daughter with me.
You're bluffing.
You're bluffing.
Hey, Audrey.
Oh, what a nice surprise.
That I remembered your name.
Dale.
What brings you by?
She just came by to threaten me.
What are you
doing that for?
She should never have taken
a bet from my husband.
Oh, yeah, you know.
I told her, but
you know this one,
she's like a dog
with a bone.
Do you need to be here?
That is a good question.
Why did I come in here?
I'm leaving.
You better not do
anything stupid.
Don't you tell me what to do.
I hate that woman.
Her name is Audrey.
Hi.
Your mother sucks!
You're just figuring this out?
She's threatened
to call the cops.
What did you say?
I told her, if I was going down,
I was taking you with me.
Oh, my God!
You're joking, right?
No. Yeah, well, no.
Prob-Probably.
Connie.
I know everybody'd
be a lot happier
if I was just some sweet
old lady playing bingo,
tucking tissues
up my sleeve.
Yeah, you do keep
tissues up your sleeve.
Well, it's like
an extra pocket.
Let me talk to my her, okay?
I'll see what I can do.
Good. You might remind her
that when you were
pregnant, I took you in.
That is true.
And I was the one who paid
all your medical bills.
Yes, you did.
And your daughter is named
after me, for God's sake.
Yeah, that still
pisses her off.
Good.

What's up?
Nothing.
Just here to report a crime.
Is it a murder?
'Cause your ass is killing me.
OFFICER:
Next.
Thank you.
Can I help you?
Yes, I have some information
regarding illegal sports
Aren't you
Jim McAllister's wife?
How do you know Jim?
He sponsors our softball team.
They do our tires.
Oh, right.
That means Georgie Cooper's
your son-in-law.
He is.
Love that kid.
Of course you do.
And his grandma,
what a character.
You know Connie?
Yep, I arrested her once,
now we go mall-walking
on the weekends.
So, what you got for me?
I go down, I take
your daughter with me!
You know what?
I just, I'm gonna
I'm just gonna
Shake that thing.
Where you been?
Police station.
What? Why?
Relax, I didn't turn anybody in.
Don't take this out on Connie.
This is my fault.
I know it's your fault.
I mean, it's a little her fault.
Why are you hiding
things from me?
'Cause I like placing a bet
from time to time.
You okay with that?
No. I think it's
a stupid waste of money.
And I didn't want
to upset you.
That's love.
The next time
you lie to me
is gonna be the last time
you lie to me.
There ain't gonna
be a next time.
I hope not.
I mean it, I don't want
to get divorced.
Oh, honey.
I would never
let you off that easy.

You finish the brakes
on the Saturn?
Yeah, all done.
[baseball game playing over radio]
- Who's playing?
'Stros, Cards.
Ah, should be a good one.
Just starting.
Want to make it interesting?
The next time you lie to me
is gonna be the last time
you lie to me.
Nope.
I find the game
interesting enough as it is.
Come on, ten bucks.
Georgie!
Yes, sir.
Bet Ruben ten bucks
on the game.
Why?
'Cause I can't.
- And you're just gonna watch?
- Yeah.
When he was on a diet,
he'd watch me eat doughnuts.
And that wasn't weird?
- No.
- It was weird.
I'm going back to work.
- How come you can't bet anymore?
- I don't want to talk about it.
- How much you lose?
- I don't want to talk about it.
Oh That much, huh?
Oh, come on, cheer up.
You want me to eat a doughnut?

Hey, where you been?
Just taking care of my family.
What are you talking about?
Well, I know how mad
everyone's been,
so I went ahead and paid Meemaw.
What?
Oh, it's okay.
Y'all have done so much for me,
Mandy and CeeCee.
- No thanks necessary.
- You paid my debt?
After I said not to?
With our money?
Yes, yes, also yes.
You had no right to do that.
I was helping!
By humiliating me?
I told that woman she wasn't
getting any of our money.
- It wasn't from you.
- This is none of your business.
Where did you get
that kind of money from?
Well, I had
a little stashed away.
[scoffs]
Stashed away from me?
Unbelievable.
Oh, come on. I fixed it!
Screw y'all. I'm the hero!
