Previously on Georgie
& Mandy's First Marriage
- Whose Corvette is that?
- Fred Fagenbacher's.
- Fellas.
- What'd he want?
He offered to buy this place.
- What?
- It was gonna be our future.
- Sell the store to me.
- You're kidding, right?
Just tell me what Fagenbacher
offered so I can match it.
Still think you can do this?
[high-pitched]: Mm-hmm.
You need collateral.
This is collateral.
Got the money.
I know it's not as much
as Fagenbacher is offering.
I-I'm sorry,
but this ain't gonna cut it.
- Not a good time, Ruben.
- How about I put up the rest?
We got a deal?
I'm retired!
I'm gonna be around
all the time now!
♪
GEORGIE: There it is.
[exhales]
Our first dollar.
Just 500,000 more
and we'll be out of debt.
[yawns] Hey.
Good morning, sunshine.
Man, I can't remember
the last time I slept this late.
Yeah, look at that bedhead.
- Not funny.
- Disagree.
So, what are you gonna
do with yourself?
All the things
I never had time for.
Clean out the attic,
get the garage organized,
put in that planting bed
you've always wanted.
Oh, that sounds fun.
Disagree.
Just letting our suppliers know,
McAllister Tire's
under new management,
so we should probably sit down
and talk about the exciting
changes happening here.
Looking forward to it.
What are you doing?
Letting everyone know
we're in charge now.
Why?
'Cause we're in charge now.
Keep up.
You're gonna freak 'em out.
Besides, it's not gonna be
that different.
Yeah, it is.
I got a lot of big ideas.
Five years from now, we're gonna
have stores all across Texas.
Okay, now you're
freaking me out.
It's simple, you just use each store
as collateral for a loan
that opens up the next store
in the next town.
So you want to take on
more and more debt?
Ruben, you got to understand,
debt is nothing to be afraid of.
Debt is wealth.
Oh. Okay, I get it now.
I'm in business with a lunatic.
Beautiful.
Garage organized, attic cleaned,
planting bed planted.
[sighs]
What have I done with my life?
Ruben, I got it all worked out.
Phase one:
crush the competition.
How?
Don't get hung up
on the details. Phase two:
advertise.
Radio, TV, billboards.
This face
is gonna be everywhere.
How about this face?
I said radio.
Phase three:
we change our name
and go nationwide.
I know I'm gonna regret this.
What's the name?
Doctor Tire.
So we're doctors now?
Well, I'm the doctor.
You're more like a head nurse.
Yeah.
♪
[coos]
Hey, how are we
out of brake pads?
Did you order more?
- No.
- That's how.
Well, if we just automated
the inventory system
like I've been telling you,
we wouldn't have this problem.
I told you, a new computer's
too expensive.
Maybe now, but we'll
save money in the long run.
Yeah, but in the short run,
I'll be living in a tent.
You've got to trust me on this.
If we want to succeed,
we got to take risks.
Believe me, I want to trust you,
but there's this little voice in my head
that keeps saying, "Don't trust him."
WOMAN [on TV]:
I'm very happy. Thank you.
I bet you are. Bob Barker reminding you
to help control the pet population
"Have your pets spayed
or neutered." We know, Bob.
Hey.
Where you been?
Shh, she's asleep.
We were at the park.
You want to do something?
I just got back from
doing something.
Something with me.
Are you bored already?
No.
I don't know, maybe.
Well, why don't you go walk around
the mall like an old person?
I cannot wait until your
daughter is mean to you.
You could go visit
Georgie at the store.
Oh, he don't want me there.
- Of course he does.
- You're just trying to get rid of me.
You old people are so wise.
You're not listening to me.
If you know that,
why are you still talking?
How are we supposed to run a business
if we can't make simple decisions?
Did you even look at the
profit loss report I wrote up?
Yeah, I looked at it,
but you don't run
a business on numbers.
Yes, you do.
No, you run it on heart,
you run it on instinct.
Do I got to remind you,
of the two of us,
I'm the one
going to business school?
Just 'cause you go to school
don't make you smarter than me.
Yes, it "do."
And I've also worked here
way longer than you.
Yeah, you had a dead-end job
until I came along.
I made you what you are today.
Broke, angry,
working on an ulcer?
Oh, please.
Who don't have an ulcer?
Have a Tum.
Ooh, you're in luck.
Red's up next.
Look, we're both adults.
I'm sure we can find
some way to agree.
- We never agree.
- Maybe that's something
we should have thought about
before we bought a business together.
Well, if it helps,
the doctor agrees.
- Need a hand?
- No.
I shopped, I cooked.
Why shouldn't I serve as well?
You tell him, Mom.
You didn't help either.
I'm happy to help.
Oh, thank you, sweetheart,
but I've got this.
- Hey.
- Hey, you're home late.
- Don't miss that.
- I do.
So, how's it going at the shop?
Great. Busy.
Good. That's good.
Yeah, it's good.
How's retirement?
- Good.
- Good.
That's five "goods,"
if anyone's counting.
You know, I was thinking tomorrow,
I'd try and get the Mustang running.
Sorry, I can't help.
That's okay, I'm sure it'll be
just as much fun by myself.
- I bet Mandy or Connor
- Not it!
Oh, man.
MANDY:
I got things to do.
I can't spend the whole day
working on the car with my dad.
Oh, it ain't that bad.
It's mostly listening to him
talk about old-ass actresses
and how hot they used to be.
Great, so you get to go have fun
at work and I have to hear
how Angie Dickinson filled
out a police uniform.
If it makes you feel any better,
I ain't having any fun at work.
What's going on?
Ruben and I disagree about everything,
and there's only two of us,
so it's impossible for us to make a decision.
I'm sorry.
Can I tell you something?
Of course.
I'm kind of worried buying your dad's shop
was a bad idea.
Come on, you know you're excited
to own your own business.
Yeah, but I thought that meant
getting to do things my way.
You two will figure it out.
I ain't so sure.
Hey, there's only two of us,
and somehow we manage.
Yeah, but I can't act all sexy
to get my way with Ruben.
You think that works with me?
Baby, I know it works with you.
Damn it.
[door opens]
[sighs]
All right, CeeCee's asleep.
Let's do this thing.
Eh, forget about it.
No, it'll be fun,
a little father-daughter time.
I ain't in the mood.
Oh, come on.
Gina Lollobrigida,
hubba-hubba, right?
I make a huge mistake?
- Selling the store?
- Yeah.
Well, uh, it's a big change.
Be weird if it wasn't hard.
Yeah, I guess.
Sounds like
Georgie's doing okay.
I think the business is,
the partnership not so much.
Oh, well, that's no surprise.
Those two never really got along.
Well, maybe instead
of watching game shows
and getting drunk in the garage,
you could offer him
some guidance.
That's a little unkind
but not untrue.
Yeah, I'll think about it.
Great.
So,
- how can I help with the car?
- Oh, no hurry.
You ever seen Barbarella?
Bronco done?
Almost.
- Great, we need to talk.
- [Ruben groans]
I know automating
the inventory is an expense,
but there's only two of us now.
We got to work smarter,
not harder.
Dude, your mom put up her house,
my abuela put up her savings.
We need to be cautious.
I get that, but if we stay
in the past, we're a dinosaur.
And we know
what happened to them.
I do. I finished high school.
- JIM: Hello.
- Back here!
I know what happened to 'em,
I saw Jurassic Park.
- Hey, fellas.
- Hey, Jim.
You know that's not
a documentary, right?
- What's going on?
- Oh, nothing, everything's great.
Dude, just tell him the truth.
This ain't none of his
business, it's confidential.
Who's he gonna tell?
He doesn't know anybody.
Fine.
I want to buy a new computer
and update the inventory system.
Sounds expensive.
Listen to this man.
Then again, you got to modernize
if you're gonna stay competitive.
I heard that part.
I worked here ten years,
never once heard you talk
about modernizing.
It's 'cause I'm cheap.
So why are you saying it now?
'Cause now it's not my money.
Who wants the last slice?
Go ahead.
What, so you can be
the good guy?
You go ahead.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Sorry I asked.
You know,
maybe there's more than one way
to go on this whole computer thing.
Maybe there's a compromise,
like you could lease one
for a little while, see if it's worth
it before you write a big check.
What you think?
I can live with that.
Yeah, you should talk
to your accountant.
There might be
tax advantages to leasing.
Hadn't thought of that.
Do we have an accountant?
That's the part
I hadn't thought of.
All right, well
I bought you pizza,
solved all your problems.
I think I've earned a nap.
- Thanks, Jim.
- Thank you, Mr. McAllister.
No problem. You know,
I wish I had a me
when I was you.
Actually, I did have a me.
But it was me.
Well, I guess we need
to get an accountant.
With what money?
You know what your problem is?
You think like a poor guy.
I am a poor guy,
and so are you.
Poverty is just a state of mind.
No, it's eating
butter sandwiches
and sharing a Dodge Dart
with your grandma.
How about this?
We hire an accountant,
he finds us all kinds of tax loopholes,
and we pay him with the money we saved.
Do you actually believe the words
coming out of your mouth?
It don't matter if I believe.
The question is: do you?
No.
Then I ain't done talking.
Georgie working late again?
Yeah.
You know, I took your advice
and stopped by the store.
Oh, were you able to help him
and Ruben work things out?
I think so.
You know, a lot of people,
especially when they're
starting out, think that there's
only one way to do things,
but I showed them
that there is a middle way.
- Seems obvious.
- Well, it wasn't to them.
Good for you, honey.
Ah, it's no big deal.
You know, I'm at that point in my
life where it feels good to give back,
leave the world better
than I found it.
He needs this, right?
We're gonna let him have it?
You should've seen 'em.
The two of 'em were at each other's throats.
Sounds terrible.
Yeah, it was
a good thing I was there.
You're like the wise elder.
I wouldn't say elder,
but the wise thing tracks.
It's nice to see you happy.
Well, them needing me
made me feel like
You have value?
Yeah.
That's how I feel
about Connor needing me.
It's not the same thing.
Why not?
Well, mine is just
normal human nature,
yours is a little creepy.
Good night.
Night.
[Jim sighing]
You want to fool around?
Really? I'm not too creepy?
Daddy like creepy.
Oh, my God.
- So
- Fine.
Hey.
Sorry, didn't mean to wake you.
[sighs]
What time is it?
Oh, a little after 11:00.
You must be exhausted.
I'm pissed. I had three tows,
then had to go back to the office
to catch up on paperwork
'cause my partner is afraid of the future.
I thought my dad helped
smooth things out.
Oh, he just bought us pizza
and then ate it all.
Well, just give Ruben some time,
I'm sure he'll--
you guys'll figure it out.
It ain't just computers.
We disagree on everything.
Well, why don't
you just flip a coin?
You're kidding, right?
That's what the Wright brothers did to decide
who was gonna fly the plane first.
That's dumb.
They flip a coin
at every football game,
including the Super Bowl.
Well, why didn't
you say that first?
[car engine revving]
I got the Mustang running.
Congratulations.
You want to go for a ride?
I got CeeCee.
Well, bring her.
I'm not putting
my baby in that thing.
It's a classic.
It's a death trap.
It's a classic death trap.
Fine, where's your mom?
She's at the store. Take Connor.
CONNOR: Not it!
Flip a coin? Are you serious?
Hey, Mandy suggested it,
and she went to college.
I go to college.
You go to night school,
she went during the day.
Nobody makes business decisions
flipping a coin.
All right.
Rock, paper, scissors.
This is ridiculous.
We've tried everything else.
We need a tie-breaker.
Fine, but it shouldn't be
a kid's game.
It should involve
strategy and skill.
Tic-tac-toe?
Well, you come up
with something.
How about some hoops?
No way, you play
basketball all the time.
Okay.
A footrace.
Where you thinking?
Post office and back.
I'm wearing boots.
I'll give you five seconds.
One, two, three, four, five.

[indistinct chatter
from television]
Hey.
Oh, my God. Are you okay?
No.
What happened?
I took the Mustang out for a drive,
and my hat flew off,
and I was afraid to get a sunburn,
but I couldn't get the top up
and then the car crapped out
and I had to walk home.
And I did get a sunburn.
Why didn't you
call Georgie for a tow?
I tried, no one answered.
Why didn't you call me?
I ran out of quarters.
Well, come on,
let's get you in a cold shower.
Okay.
Being retired is hard.
AUDREY:
For all of us.
You should've seen me.
I was like the wind.
Oh, hey.
So, you didn't think to
just take the boots off?
Well, no time. The future
of our family was at stake.
So, now what,
you buy a computer?
Yeah.
And maybe a pair
of tennis shoes for next time.
Next time? This is how
you're gonna settle arguments?
Yeah, why?
Well, who was watching the store
while y'all were out
running around like two dummies?
You're missing the point.
I won.
