Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage (2024) s01e22 Episode Script

1
GEORGIE: Are you
freakin' kidding me?
It's late, let's talk
about it in the morning.
I'm supposed to go to sleep now?
Well, I-I would've
told you sooner, but
you were so upset
about the store
and I didn't want
to make things worse.
You've been hiding this
from me for months.
See?
Worse.
You're working for a guy
you used to sleep with.
Yeah, used to.
Before I met you,
before we got married,
before we had a baby,
before I knew the true magic
of making love to my soulmate.
Oh, give me a break.
Well, what am I supposed to do, Georgie?
Simple. Don't work there.
No.
No, this has been my dream
for as long as I can remember
and I'm not
walking away from it.
Then I guess
you're picking him over me.
I am picking my career,
which I thought you supported.
Well, so if I worked with an old girlfriend,
you'd be okay with it?
Of course.
All right, then.
I have some phone calls to make.
[sighs]:
God,
- you are being so childish.
- There it is.
Every time we get in a fight,
you use my age against me.
FYI, I'm not a teenager anymore.
Oh, calm down, you turned 20
like a month ago.
I'm out of here.
Right. Of course.
Because every time we have
a fight, you run away.
If I don't, I might
say something I'll regret.
Like what?
You
are what my mother
would call a jezebel.
- Do you even know what that means?
- I get the gist.
Did you know about this?
About what?
Georgie
What?
If you need a hug,
you know where to find me.
♪
[coos]
I don't mean to pour
salt on the wound, but
I think you've left someone important
out this conversation.
Please don't say Jesus.
I was gonna say your daughter.
But you can't leave Jesus out.
He hears everything.
I ain't never gonna
forget my daughter.
Are you sure? Because she's
gonna wake up in the morning
and ask where her daddy is.
So I'm just supposed
to go along with this?
Let Mandy do
whatever the heck she wants?
[sighs] You married a woman
who is ten years older.
She is gonna have a past.
It ain't the past
if she sees him every day.
Well, I guess you're just
gonna have to trust her.
How?
She's been keeping this
from me for months.
And Mr. McAllister promised me the store
when he retired and now he's selling it.
Can't trust anyone
in that family.
Well, except Connor.
He's all right.
Well, don't blame Jim.
We know who really
pulls the strings.
Blonde puppet master.
Okay, okay.
- Vatican harpy
- Okay.
I wish Dad was here.
He'd know what to do.
Eh.
♪
Can I say something?
[groans]
You can't let
Georgie's immaturity
dictate your goals and dreams.
Oh.
I retract the groan.
I mean it.
You've worked hard for this,
and the fact that
you dated Scott is irrelevant.
- Right.
- No matter how wealthy
his parents are.
[groans]
You know it's true.
I do.
Still, I should've
told Georgie sooner.
Why? Because a few months ago,
he would've been fine with this?
No.
Exactly.
This isn't about you.
It's about him being insecure.
God, he's just,
he's so judgmental.
It's like he's never
made a mistake.
Wonder where he gets that from.
Okay, please don't
start in on his mother.
[chuckles]
I'm just saying, the crab apple
doesn't fall far from the tree.
I'm off.
- Here's your coffee.
- Thank you.
- Love you.
- Love you, too.
Really?
You're not gonna say anything?
You see that? That's how you
stay married for 35 years.
Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it
note for note ♪
Don't worry
Knock it off!
Be happy.
We need to talk.
Uh, I don't want to get
between you and Mandy.
This has nothing to do
with Mandy. This is business.
All right, go ahead.
Sell the store to me.
- You're kidding, right?
- Dead serious.
- I'll buy it.
- With what money?
That's my problem. Just tell me what
Fagenbacher offered so I can match it.
Son, this is crazy.
You got no money,
- you got no credit
- Give me 48 hours.
If I can't pull it together,
you have my blessing.
I don't need your blessing.
But wouldn't it be nice to have?
Okay.
Still think you can do this?
[high-pitched]:
Mm-hmm.
[hisses, mutters]
One, two, three.
CEECEE: Dada.
Oh, give it a rest.
Oh, hi.
Didn't hear you come in.
I won't be long.
What are you doing?
What's it look like?
I'm putting on my suit.
[scoffs] Why?
I'm going to the bank
to get a loan.
Why?
I'm gonna buy the store.
What?
You heard me.
And this doesn't seem like a thing
we should talk about beforehand?
Mm. Like you talked to me
about you and your boyfriend?
[sighs] He is not my boyfriend,
he is my boss.
He was your boss
when he was your boyfriend.
Okay, can we just put
that aside for a minute?
Do you really think it's a
good idea to put us in debt?
Oh, the queen of credit cards
is suddenly worried about debt.
Okay, I cannot talk to you
if you're gonna be so
Childish?
I was gonna say "dickish."
The point is, you
can't just buy a store.
Why not?
I don't know, 'cause it
doesn't work that way.
Well, we'll see.
Okay. Georgie?
You-you need to slow down.
Okay? This is crazy.
You did what you had to do
for your career,
I'm doing the same for mine.
- Georgie.
- What?
Looking sharp, my man.
Thanks.
[door closes]
What am I looking at here?
Well, my pay stubs for
the last 18 months,
savings balance, tax returns.
Oh, and it's not in there,
but every year on my birthday,
my meemaw gives me $50.
Do you own a home?
Do you have a mortgage?
Nope, I am the proud owner
of nothing.
Well, son, this is a lot
of money you're asking for.
Well, I know that.
But I also know
how much money I can make
if I was running the shop.
I like your enthusiasm.
- Thank you.
- I don't like this deal.
[stammers]
Why? It's a great deal.
I'm gonna pay y'all back
plus interest,
then expand across
the South and Southwest
until the United States government
has to step in and slow me down.
You got a lot of confidence,
don't you?
Yes, sir, I do.
So, we gonna do some business?
I'm afraid not.
Then I guess I'll take
my business to another bank.
First National's
right across the street.
Okay. Thank you for your time.
Good luck.
I don't need luck.
I got gumption.
Okay.
My dad called me
his little bulldog.
I can see why.
Got balls the size of Texas.
We about done here?
Um
yeah.
Good morning,
all you early risers,
of which I am not one,
but boy, oh, boy,
have I had a lot of coffee,
so let's do this.
The high today will be 82
You know what? It's too early
to be this boring.
Richard,
can I get a little music?
[country music playing]
Let's take a look at what's happening
across East Texas today.
There'll be some storms
off the coast,
but they should boot scoot
out into the Gulf.
There'll be scattered showers
across Medford and into Jasper,
but they'll be long gone
by the evening.
It'll be warm and steamy today
with humidity at 93%,
so if you want to do
some dancing,
do it inside like me.
I'm Mandy McAllister,
and I'll see y'all tomorrow morning.
If you want to have a great day,
give a great day.
And we're clear.
Hey.
[applause]
- Thank you.
- That was a lot of fun.
Thanks. Did you like
that "give a day" thing?
I just sort of pulled that
right out of my butt.
Sorry, lot of caffeine.
- For you.
- Oh. What's this?
- Fan mail.
- I have fans?
Oh, couple from prison,
but yeah.
Don't care, fans are fans.
Ooh, maximum security.
[door opens]
What's happening?
- You don't return my calls?
- Sorry, been busy.
So, do we have a deal or not?
What's your hurry?
Why are you stalling?
Well, it's a big decision, Fred.
It's a big offer, Jim.
I'm sorry, I'm just gonna need
a couple more days.
You ain't a woman. I ain't waiting
for the third date to get lucky.
Good one.
I just need a little more time.
End of business tomorrow.
You know, Fred
I've known you for what,
40 years?
And in all that time,
you've never once wavered
from being a miserable
son of a bitch.
Thank you.
Tomorrow.
[door closes]
You heard?
Yeah.
Clock's ticking, Georgie.
I know.
If I do sell to Fred, I'm
wiping my ass
on everything in here.
GEORGIE:
Hey, Meemaw.
It's Georgie.
Well, I'll tell you what's up.
I was wondering if you could
help me out with a small
well, let's just call it
a business loan.
No, more than that.
More.
Keep on going.
Perfect, now just add two zeros.
Why you laughing?
Oh, come on,
you know I'm good for it.
Yes, you do.
Okay, well, you ever need several hundred
thousand dollars, don't be calling me.
Love you, too.
No luck?
No. I tried everybody.
You ever consider trying me?
Uh, no offense, but ain't you
kind of like a poor widow?
Hey, I'll have you know,
I own this house free and clear.
So?
[scoffs] So, you
need collateral.
This is collateral.
Mom, I could never
risk your house.
It's not a risk.
You're gonna succeed, right?
Well, I think so.
[sighs] Thinking's
not good enough, Georgie.
You got to know.
I know.
Nothing's gonna stop me.
Then let's do it.
You sure?
Honey, your whole life,
I was all focused
on your brother and your sister.
It's your turn.
Thank you.
And no pressure,
but if I do lose the house,
me and Missy are moving in
with you and Mandy.
[laughs]
Funny.
Why is that funny?
Yesterday,
the high was 83 degrees,
and today we'll top out at 85,
which is right around normal.
Now, before we wrap it up,
I want to answer a lovely letter
from second grader
Denise Chamblis.
Denise wants to know
how this map works.
Well, Denise,
this is called a green screen,
and I have no idea how it works,
but I do know that
anything green disappears.
Check it out.
I'm Mandy McAllister,
floating weather-head.
I'll see y'all tomorrow.
If I find my body.
And we're out.
Uh, Mandy,
can I see you in my office?
Am I in trouble? I was just trying
to spice things up, you know?
You're not in trouble,
that was funny.
MANDY: Oh, good.
I'm glad you think so.
Okay, so, quick question:
are tornado jokes funny
or in bad taste?
Texas, not funny;
Oklahoma, hilarious.
'Cause I was gonna
dress up like Dorothy
and get a stuffed dog,
and have a big fan blowing me around--
You get where I'm going.
So, listen,
I'm changing up the lineup,
and I was hoping you could
take over weekend evenings.
For real?
For real.
So, I would do the weather
for people who are actually awake?
- That's the idea.
- Oh, Scott, thank you.
Of course, we'll have to discuss
your raise.
- [gasps, screams]
- Oh.
Sorry.
- Sorry, shouldn't have done that.
- Oh
That's okay.
I love seeing you happy.
Thank you.
I should let you
get home and, uh,
tell your husband the good news.
Right, I will certainly do that.
Hey, weird question.
Have you told your fiancée
about you and me?
I will, but she's been busy.
Yeah, got it.
- There's really nothing to tell.
- Exactly. Yeah.
But you said
your husband's cool with it.
I did say that.
But
- Oh, no buts. No buts.
- Okay.
Thank you again for weekends,
O Great and Powerful Oz.
Was that too much?
That felt like too much.
Hey, Dad, it's me.
You got a minute?
Little joke, sorry.
Uh
So, listen,
I got a big decision to make
and I was hoping
you could help me out.
Dada.
I know, I miss him, too.
But he should just trust me.
I mean,
there's nothing going on.
I mean [scoffs]
Yeah. No. Nothing.
- I mean, you trust Mommy, right?
- Dada.
[sighs] Oh, for God's sakes,
I have a name, too.
Mom says she wants to do this,
but if it goes south,
she could lose everything,
and she's already lost so much.
So my question is,
should I roll the dice
or do nothing?
You know? Play it safe.
You don't want a mommy that gives up
her dreams for her jealous husband.
I mean, sure, I've
made some mistakes,
but you know who's really
in the wrong here.
Really?
- Hey.
- What's up?
I got the money.
- You serious?
- I just came from the bank.
I know it's not as much
as Fagenbacher was offering.
It's not even close, Georgie.
That's all I could get.
Look, I'm sorry,
but I can't accept this.
Okay? I-I got to think
about Audrey, our-our future,
my retirement, Connor.
[sighs]
Oh, Connor.
- I know, but
- Don't try to sell me anymore.
Okay? I-I'm sorry,
but this ain't gonna cut it.
- Not a good time, Ruben.
- Just need a minute.
What?
How about I put up the rest?
You can do that?
You down for having a partner?
- I thought you didn't like me.
- I don't.
Hold up. Ruben, this is a lot of money
we're talking about here.
- So?
- So I know how much I pay you.
I have some stashed away and
my family will help with the rest.
Are you sure about this?
Are you?
Not really,
but I told my mom I was.
That's what I told my abuela.
- Partner?
- Senior partner.
- Just partner.
- Fine.
We got a deal?
Hold on.
Hold on.
Yes.
Yeah.
Mm, you're home early.
I'm home for good!
- What does that mean?
- Means I
I'm retired!
And drunk.
Very drunk.
Fagenbacher bought the store?
No, I did.
- You did?
- Really?
We did. And Ruben.
So, you and Ruben
are McAllister Tire?
Well, when we make a few bucks,
we might change the signs.
Aww.
Let's get you in the shower.
I'm gonna be around
all the time now.
So, how'd you get the money?
My mom put her house up
as collateral
and Ruben put up the rest.
Oh, Georgie.
I had no choice.
I had to take the shot.
Yeah, I guess we've
both been making
some big decisions on our own.
What'd you do?
I quit the diner.
I'm gonna be doing
the weekend weather,
which means a big raise.
From Scott?
Yeah, from Scott.
Do you know what you're doing?
Do you?
I guess we just have
to trust each other.
Seems that way.
So, how much debt are we in?
Well, let's just say
[sighs]
we ain't gonna be
moving out real soon.
Boy, you piss me off.
[scoffs]
You piss me off.
Well, marriages have been
built on less, right?
Guess we're gonna find out.
Just want to give you
a heads-up.
We're running a special:
buy three tires,
get the fourth one free.
How can I do that?
Easy. I'm crazy.
Glad to hear it.
I'll see you tomorrow.
How come you get the desk?
'Cause I got here before you.
I stopped to get donuts.
Fine, we'll get a second desk.
Can we afford a second desk?
We can't afford donuts.
Well, I guess congratulations
are in order.
- Thanks, Fred.
- It's Mr. Fagenbacher.
And I'm gonna drive you clowns
out of business.
Well, maybe we'll drive you
out of business.
[laughs] Oh, this ain't
the kiddie pool, son.
You're swimming
in the deep end now.
[exhales]
[door closes]
I'm scared.
Ain't nothing to
be scared about.
- Where you going?
- I got to throw up.
