Happy's Place (2024) s02e01 Episode Script

1
Well, I think that covers it.
Oops.
Our fingers are touching.
Yes, they are.
[CHORTLES]
I was just gonna give it back to you.
No, you take it.
I have plenty.
I love sharing with you.
Well, I love sharing with you too.
And I like you guys sharing too,
'cause sharing is caring,
and you two care so much.
She's right.
She sure is.
So you take it.
No. You take it.
No, you take it.
OK, I'll take it! [LAUGHS]
And I will put it in our office
so you two can share it again.
[CHUCKLES] Well, then.
OK, everybody be careful going home.
- OK.
- Bye.
- Talk to you later?
- OK.
OK.
OK, bye! [LAUGHS]
[GIGGLING]
They're cute, right?
But if anybody is uncomfortable,
we could definitely address that.
Anybody meaning you.
- Me?
- Yeah.
- No.
- Yeah.
Ha!
Steve maybe.
What could possibly make
me uncomfortable about,
"Oops, I dropped my pen"?
Oh, no.
We're touching it at the same time.
You take it.
No, you take it.
- No, you take it.
- No, you take it.
- No, you take it.
- No, you take it.
No, I take it. It's getting dirty.
Oh, my God, I don't know
who was playing who,
but that was hysterical.
BOTH: I was Emmett.
So everybody's happy.
Things couldn't be going more perfect.
Aw, what's the matter, Isabella?
Yeah, you sorry that you
got the two of them together?
No.
I love love.
I love it at work.
I love it at home.
Emmett still coming
over to check on you two?
Every night for the last two weeks!
[LAUGHS]
Which is great.
You know, they talk a lot.
OK, first, I would love
it if you could record
some of their talk for me.
I'm having trouble sleeping.
And second,
I have zero sympathy for you, OK?
I told you that we
shouldn't encourage them.
Gabby, I know you're
worried that if they break up,
- it'll be bad for you.
- Uh, no.
Bad for all of us.
This place was special
is special.
Yeah, it's special for me, too.
You've seen how happy Bobbie is.
And as annoying as it may be sometimes,
don't you think she
deserves a shot at that
for the rest of her life?
OK, I'm headed home.
- Night-night.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye, Bobbie.
Hey, Emmett.
You know, I've heard that there's been
some more burglaries
somewhere in the city.
I'm not sure I feel safe.
Well, maybe I better come
by and check on you girls.
OK.
OK! See you there!
[CHUCKLING]
Sometimes it feels
like a big ol' fight ♪
To get through the day ♪
And sleep on through the night ♪
But here you'll find a place ♪
That'll surely lift your spirits ♪
You belong at Happy's Place ♪
I'm showing this date my lemon tree,
only they're still green.
And she says,
are limes just baby lemons?
Oh, my gosh.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Bet you ended things
with her pretty quickly.
No, not really.
She was pretty cute.
Funny how men get
smart and cute mixed up.
Oh, careful,
'cause I think you're the smartest woman
I've ever met.
Oh. [LAUGHS]
Well
thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, so smart I don't
even know what to say now.
[LAUGHS] Yeah.
Huh.
Oh.
Oh, look at the time, will you?
I gotta get going.
Really? I was having fun.
Well, me too, but I'm
only supposed to be here
to make sure you're safe.
[GASPS] Maybe the burglars
are just waiting till you leave.
They're not!
It's fine. We're safe.
I should go.
Well, I appreciate you coming by.
My pleasure.
Good night, Emmett.
Good night, Isabella.
Night, Bobbie.
Night-night.
[GIGGLING]
Well, you two certainly
chatted the night away.
[CHUCKLES] Yet again.
It was so much fun.
Who knew we'd love just sitting
and talking with each other?
- Not me.
- [LAUGHS]
I thought you'd want
more eventually, but nope.
You sound upset.
Not upset.
I'm worried.
But you were the one
that told me to let him
come over here in the first place.
I know, I just didn't know
that was his only move.
Look, I just don't want
the two of you guys to get stuck.
We're not gonna get stuck.
Why would you think that?
When's the last time
you bought a new bra?
Touché.
Look, I know you guys are
having a great time right now,
but there's still so much
left for the two of you.
Like what?
Like stuff I don't wanna talk about
but will make you grin when you do.
Ha-ha.
Yes, it does.
OK, what should I do?
Well, wear something
that makes you feel pretty,
and, you know, just drop some hints
that you wanna go out with him.
What if he doesn't ask me out?
Then you ask him.
Oh, boy.
Oh, I'm starting to
get in a nervous sweat
right now just thinking about it.
OK, OK, relax.
And just promise me you'll consider it.
OK, I will.
Oh, my gosh, I've never had a sister
to talk to about boys before.
[BOTH GIGGLING]
Do I really need a new bra?
Hey.
Do you know if Emmett
is in there with her?
Maybe.
I haven't seen him in a while.
Oh, God.
Please don't be like my
parents on Thanksgiving 1992.
Please don't be like my
parents on Thanksgiving 1992.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Come in.
Are you decent?
Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?
What are you doing?
Something I should have
done on Thanksgiving 1992.
Get in here.
Here you go.
For your information,
Emmett and I are not,
you know
[WHISPERING] Physical
with each other yet.
For reals?
[SCOFFS] Wow.
I mean, Isabella said that
you guys were still just talking,
but come on.
How long do you wanna
listen to a man yakkity-yak
before you get him in the sackity-sack?
Am I right?
Uh-huh, yeah.
You never wanted Emmett
and me to get together, did you?
I never said that.
Yeah, you did.
OK, but not to you.
My point is, Isabella thinks
we should start dating.
OK, and I don't want you to date.
So you want me to give
you the counterargument.
I want you to be completely honest,
knowing that Emmett
makes me very, very happy,
and I don't wanna screw it up.
He really does make
you happy, doesn't he?
[SIGHS]
What do you know about sharks?
They dance better than the Jets.
Nobody dances better than the Jets.
No, I meant actual sharks.
- Oh.
- Because you see, Bobbie,
they have to keep
moving in order to breathe.
If they stop, they die.
Not all sharks.
Nurse sharks don't have to.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
OK, you knew that, but you still said
they dance better than the Jets.
I mean [GROANS] OK, whatever.
[SIGHS] The point is,
your relationship is
like every other shark,
except for nurse sharks.
If it doesn't move forward, it will die.
You want me to ask Emmett out on a date?
No, I want you to ask Steve out.
I see a real future there.
Yes.
The men are the ones who are
supposed to ask the women out,
not the other way around.
OK, Bobbie, that hasn't
been true for 30 years.
I haven't dated in 30 years!
Oh, right.
Oh, man.
I'm surprised you didn't
jump Emmett's bones
the minute he said
[DEEP VOICE] "Hello."
Listen, Bobbie.
OK, I'm gonna ask you something
that you asked me when I
was too scared to ask a man out.
Are you sure he's not married?
Yes, I'm sure.
OK, then, put on your big girl panties
and get your butt in there!
OK, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna go ask Emmett out on a date.
Yeah, you are!
Not in that outfit, though, right?
You look really happy.
That's usually bad
news for someone else.
Aww.
Don't be silly.
- Isabella.
- Oh, good.
It's for Isabella.
[SCOFFS]
It is not bad news for anyone.
In fact, I think I did a
profoundly good thing,
maybe the best thing I have
ever done in my entire life.
What did you do?
I told Bobbie
to ask Emmett out.
Oh, my gosh!
Wait, why?
What changed your mind?
Well, I finally saw what you
meant about Bobbie being happy.
Thank you for encouraging
all of us to believe.
You'd be a great cult leader.
Thank you.
And thank you for changing your mind.
Aw, so sweet.
I give you guys a day.
Wish me luck.
Good luck!
I'm so happy for you!
- We both are.
- [SQUEALING]
She's really gonna
ask him in that outfit?
- I know.
- Oh, my God, I know.
Takoda!
Coming.
Oh, hey, Bobbie.
You look nice.
I need help.
I got two London broils in the oven
and not enough hands.
I'm on it.
Would you like me to
cut and baste them, too?
You are the man.
Yoo-hoo!
[GIGGLES]
How's everything going in here?
Well, up to our eyeballs in busy,
but never too busy for you.
No, no, no, you do your thing.
[GIGGLING]
[SIGHS]
Hey, wouldn't it be
nice if all the customers
just went away and gave us a break?
Not really.
That's how we make our money.
Just making a joke, Takoda.
Trying to lighten the mood.
Is there, uh, something I
can help you with, Bobbie?
No, I'm good.
Goody, goody, knock on woody. [CHUCKLES]
I just came in here to visit to see if,
uh, you were bored.
- I'm not.
- Yeah, I know.
Up to your elbows.
Hey, Takoda, if you
have customers waiting,
I can take over in here.
Have you ever cross-cut a London broil?
Cheerio, guv'na!
That answer your question?
You're acting weird.
No, I'm fine.
I can handle the rest of this, Takoda.
Thanks for helping.
All right, Emmett.
You know, I'm just
gonna check your temp
I'm fine!
Well, you wanna spit it out,
or you gonna do some
more community theater first?
Nope, I'm gonna spit it right out,
just gonna spit it out!
[CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
Will it be soon?
[LAUGHS]
Come on, Bobbie, get
your big girl panties on.
- Bobbie.
- OK, do you wanna go
on a date with me?
A date?
That's what I said, wasn't it?
It's kind of hard to tell with
this blood pounding in my head.
That's what all this has been about?
You want me to go out with you?
Yes, it is.
Exactly.
I see.
Well
no, thanks.
Hey, hey. Hi. How'd it go?
Oh, my gosh!
This is what I was afraid of!
Ugh, why can't I
learn not to join cults?
[GROANS]
Calm down.
We don't even know
what happened in there.
It's obvious.
Bobbie went in there and
made herself vulnerable
by asking him out, and
he squashed her feelings
like they were an armadillo
on a Texas highway!
It's a real problem in Texas.
Why do you assume Emmett
was the one being insensitive?
[BOTH SCOFFING]
- Um, he's a man?
- [GROANS]
I really don't like the two of
you being on the same team.
Tough luck, 'cause we're Team Bobbie.
You mess with one of us,
you gotta deal with the rest of us.
Mm.
You act like Bobbie
doesn't have a dark side, too.
But I know for a fact
she laughs at videos
where kids accidentally hit
their dads in the baby maker.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, one of those videos was me.
[LAUGHTER]
Plus, she's been acting strange lately.
BOTH: Wow!
OK, so now you're gonna pull out
the hysterical woman stereotype?
You know, I thought
better of the both of you.
Mm, heard that!
Yeah, and did you
forget that it was Bobbie
who came out of the kitchen
looking all sad and upset?
So? Emmett could be just as upset.
He could be in there right
now, you know, crying and
well, maybe not crying,
but feeling crushed
in a stoic, non-emotional way.
There is one way we could find out.
You could ask him.
Because if he is hurting,
he'll need a friend.
Just like a wounded,
cornered animal needs a friend.
You're right.
I could walk into that
tiny space full of knives
and ask him.
Mm-hmm.
And if you get it on video,
it might make Bobbie laugh.
Go.
Do it.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[SNAPPING FINGERS, CLAPPING]
[CLEARS THROAT]
What?
First off, I just have to say,
everyone's been saying
how great you look lately.
What's your secret?
I've never seen you
drink water, moisturize
If you got something to say, say it.
I'm busy.
No, I don't have anything to say.
I just, uh actually, I do
have something to say.
What happened in here with Bobbie?
Well?
Emmett, I'm your friend.
I'm on your side.
Did Bobbie ask you out on a date?
[SIGHS]
Yeah.
And did you say no?
[SIGHS]
Yeah.
Why?
You can trust me.
I made a promise to Happy.
Well, did she wind up asking him out?
Did he turn her down?
How were the London broils?
Did they turn out OK?
What?
I can also care about the meat.
Yes, she did ask him out.
Yes, he did turn her down.
And, yes, the meat looks delicious.
But that's all I can say.
Can you write down the reason?
That's all I can reveal.
Nor should you reveal anything.
It's not like we'd wanna know anyway.
We got a bunch of really
cool stories of our own, so
You don't have to study psychology
to recognize really
bad reverse psychology.
Come on, Steve, tell us!
Yeah, how are we gonna
help if we don't know
what the problem is?
Well, he really likes her, so it must be
something horrible, right?
I bet he's wanted for murder.
He has always had a
kind of serial killer vibe.
Oh, my God, no.
You know her answers are
only going to get more out there.
He killed his whole family!
OK, stop it.
Even if you guessed correctly,
I would never confirm you were right.
Oh, my God.
He threatened you.
Blink 20 times if you
think he's listening.
OK, I'm only gonna say this once.
Their lives are not
for our entertainment.
You don't have any right
to know what's going on.
But I do.
Oh, hey, Bobbie.
Listen, if it's still OK,
I'd like to come by
and check on you guys tonight.
No.
No tonight or no ever?
Did you turn me down because
you made a promise to Daddy?
I'm not really comfortable
talking about that right now.
Good.
Then just stand there
and look pretty while I talk.
[SIGHS] I can't break a promise.
And because you won't
makes you a truly wonderful man.
Well, thank you.
It also makes you one
of the biggest morons
that ever walked the face of the Earth!
Well, hang on.
I made a promise, too,
that I wouldn't let Travis's memory
keep me from finding happiness.
Those promises don't
mean the same thing.
That's true. They're not.
Because I'm still here, and Daddy isn't.
So what are you saying?
Swim or die!
You got a problem with that, Daddy?
I didn't think so.
So pretty.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
OK. Good night, everyone.
- Night.
- Night.
Night.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Bobbie seemed happy earlier.
- Did she?
- Yeah.
You don't seem as happy.
If it's because I told
her about your promise
not to date Bobbie, I'm sorry, Emmett.
That's OK.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
Because that's not the
promise I made Happy.
- Oh, it wasn't?
- No.
Then what was it?
[SIGHS] I promised him
I wouldn't tell anybody about Isabella.
I've known about her for years.
Oh.
Yeah.
[GASPS] Oh!
