Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage (2024) s02e07 Episode Script

1
Huh. What's all this?
I'm trying to do the books
for the store.
Oh.
I thought it was some kind of
role-play thing. You know,
strict accountant,
hot girl in debt.
- That's what you're into?
- Hey, I did Mrs. Claus for you.
Oh, this naughty reindeer
remembers.
So, since when do you
do the books?
Ruben won't let me hire
an accountant.
- You went to college. Help me.
- Yeah, but I was a communications major.
We didn't do math. It was speech
class and film appreciation.
- Film appreciation?
- Yeah.
You watch films and
you appreciate them.
Never mind, I'll figure it out.
Well, what about my mom?
She did this for years.
- Well, I don't want her to think I'm dumb.
- [Mandy scoffs]
You're adorable.
[chuckles]
Well, you could ask your mom.
She does the books for the church.
Not a bad idea.
I know.
Now, uh, tell me I'm a naughty girl who's
late on her credit card payment. [chuckles]
♪
[coos]
- You got a sec?
- What's up?
I was thinking maybe, to get
the young people more invested,
I could start playing my guitar
during the service.
You know who else played guitar
while he preached?
Charles Manson.
Well, I doubt he played
"This Little Light of Mine."
'Cause he was busy
getting people murdered.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hi, honey.
- Pastor Jeff.
- Georgie, would you be more likely
to come to church if I played my guitar?
Hmm. Are you gonna play
cool songs or God songs?
I think God songs
are cool songs.
- Sounds fun.
- Don't lie in church.
Sounds terrible.
Your loss.
It's gonna be groovy.
That man never should've
gotten MTV.
So, what brings you by?
- I could use your help with the store.
- Of course.
- Unless it's more money.
- It ain't.
Then of course.
I need a hand with the books.
Oh.
Well, I would love to, but
that's a big job, and I really
have my hands full here.
I understand. Yeah.
Mrs. McAllister used to do 'em,
I guess I'll just ask
- I'll do it.
- Great.
I'm not leaving the fate of
my house in the hands of that
Lord, forgive me.
- You didn't say nothing.
- No, but I thought it
and it was bad.
- Next.
- Here to renew my license.
Stand behind the line
and read the eye chart for me.
Yes, sir.
That would be an E.
Congratulations.
Now, try the fifth line.
Fifth line, sure.
Whenever you're ready.
- Behind the line.
- Ooh. Sorry.
- You wear glasses?
- No. Always had perfect vision.
Uh-huh.
Fifth line.
Z. F. R. U. M. What's next?
You go to an eye doctor.
Hey. How was the DMV?
Great. Easy-peasy,
lemon squeezy.
They give you
a temporary license?
Yes, they did.
Oh. How long till the new one
shows up in the mail?
- They didn't say.
- Oh.
Hey, did they make you
take a new picture?
What, you writing a book?
Hey.
Where'd my calendar go?
I took it down.
My mom's religious. She don't
need to be seeing bikini ladies.
Excuse me, but God made
those bikini ladies.
Also, don't be throwing around
the "God" word.
Geez, okay.
You can't say "geez,"
too close to Jesus.
Anything else?
You don't drink, you don't smoke,
and you don't believe in sex before marriage.
But that last one
probably won't come up.
Hello.
- Hey, Mom.
- Mrs. Cooper.
- Hey, Ruben, how you been?
- RUBEN: Good.
Just saving myself
for the right woman.
What?
Here's all the invoices,
receipts,
and stuff that looked important,
but I didn't know what it was.
Okay, well, better get started.
Do you have a calculator?
In the desk.
No, no, no, the other drawer.
That's Ruben's.
We should pray for him.
[gasps] Ooh, hey,
what's the score?
It's, uh
- Cowboys up by three.
- Exactly.
How much time's left?
You got eyes, use 'em.
[telephone rings]
McAllister residence.
Oh, hello, Mary.
No, he's not home yet.
Oh.
I didn't know
you were doing that.
I'll give him the message.
Bye now.
Hmm.
- Everything okay?
- Why wouldn't it be?
Well, you said "hmm."
Did you know Georgie asked Mary
to do the books for the shop?
That explains the "hmm."
Well
you just
you do so much for us already,
he didn't want to bother you.
I'm not toast, Amanda.
I don't need buttering.
Honey, it's just the books.
Oh, that look don't work
after the third beer.
Hey, y'all.
- Georgie, your mother called.
- Oh.
Oh.
Why does she even
want to do the books?
It's not about the books.
It's about your mother.
You're the one who said
I should ask her.
Yeah. [scoffs] That was wrong.
So now what?
I'm supposed to fire my mom?
She can't expect me to do that
just 'cause she's upset.
Oh, yes, she can.
- Well, she'll just have to get over it.
- No, she won't.
Well, then I don't care.
- Yes, you do.
- So much.
No one knows how that store
operates better than I do.
Uh-huh.
I could do those books
in my sleep.
Yep.
Are you even listening to me?
Yeah, of course.
What'd I just say?
"Are you even listening to me?"
Why do I bother?
Honey, are you really upset
he didn't ask you
or are you just mad
he went to Mary?
That has nothing to do with it.
Although, I bet she loves
going through my work
trying to find a mistake.
Good luck, lady.
You know, it's possible she's
not thinking about you at all.
What a hateful thing
to say, Jim.
Hello.
Oh, Audrey.
What a pleasant, um
Hello.
I come in peace.
Have a seat.
I just want to say I think
it's so great you helping Georgie out.
But you'd do a better job.
[laughs] Of course not.
I just have
more free time than you.
I can make time.
But wouldn't you rather
spend it with CeeCee?
I'm sorry, are you
trying to bribe me
with my own granddaughter?
Our granddaughter.
And yes. So what do you say?
Well, like you said,
I am very busy,
but thank you for coming by.
Mary, it's an important job.
I just want to make sure
it gets done right.
And I'm gonna do it wrong?
- AUDREY: Well, not on purpose.
- MARY: I'm about to do
something on purpose.
[laughs] Hey, Audrey.
I thought I heard your voice.
Pastor Jeff.
Do you need something?
No. I just heard
you gals chatting
and thought of one
of my favorite Bible verses,
"Where two or more are gathered,
I am there."
One. Two.
Three.
Okay, I'm gonna go.
But remember, He's still here.
Oh, my God.
What?
You're going 18 miles an hour.
So?
So, you drive like an old man.
I drive like a safe man, which
is how I became an old man.
- [sighs] Stop sign. Stop sign.
- Yeah, I see it.
I see it.
- [car crash]
- What the hell?
- You okay?
- Yeah, you?
Yeah, I'm fine.
A UPS truck.
- That's a mail truck.
- Same thing.
No, it's not.
One's big and brown.
Same thing, Mandy.
Last cop I talked to
recognized me from TV.
How does that help here?
Oh, it doesn't.
I just like thinking about it.
- Were you the driver?
- Yes, sir.
Gonna need your license
and registration.
Sure.
Actually, you know, uh
[clears throat]
He hit me. I-I was stopped
at the stop sign.
I know.
I just need it for my report.
But I-I'm the victim here.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Dad, just give him your license.
I don't want to.
- You just went to the DMV.
- I did.
Then why
is your license expired?
Beats me.
- Dad.
- Okay, fine.
I had a little trouble
with my eye exam.
You said it was easy-peasy,
lemon squeezy.
Would you stop
remembering things?
I-I can't believe you let me
ride in the car with you.
Excuse me, I did tell you to leave
the baby home with your mother.
Georgie back yet?
Still on a tow.
Anything I can do for you?
Just got the books all up
to date, wanted to go over 'em.
Oh, how we doing?
Maybe we should wait
till Georgie gets back.
- Is it bad?
- I wouldn't say "bad."
Good?
I wouldn't say "good."
Oh, God.
I mean, jeepers.
Hey, get this, the guy I just towed
does all the ads on bus benches.
Says he'll give us a discount.
Hold your fire.
We need to talk.
- I know you're gonna say we can't afford it
- You can't afford it.
- Geez.
- Georgie, language.
I have been going over the books,
and you are barely scraping by.
Well, that can't be right.
Business has been booming.
[sighs] I don't know
what to tell you.
You either got to spend less
or make more.
Great. I choose to make more.
- How we gonna do that?
- Advertise.
There's got to be money
for one bench.
There isn't. And I have marked
a few other places
that you might want to cut back.
Okay. I'm just spitballing here:
How about we fire Georgie?
Come on, can't you get creative?
Move some numbers around?
You are not underwater yet.
You just need to tighten your belt.
Well, if you're sure
there's nothing else we can do,
then I guess there's
nothing else we can do.
Mrs. McAllister, I was wondering
if you could take a look at the books for me.
I'm sorry?
I thought your mother
was doing your books.
Well, she was, but I realized
I should've come to you first.
Why didn't you?
You know me. I'm young.
I make all kinds of bad decisions.
So you're saying your mother
isn't up to the task,
and I would do
a much better job?
Should I say that?
Yes.
Then consider it said.
Say it.
Look, my mom's just kind of
set in her ways.
I need someone creative,
someone a little more fun.
Well, I'm certainly more fun
than that old Bible thumper.
Okay, okay, she's still my mom.
Although, I have literally seen
her thump a Bible.
I suppose I can take a look.
And while you're at it,
I'm hoping you can find me
the money to advertise on a bus bench.
- I'm sure I can.
- Great.
But only after you say it.
- See you later.
- [stammers]
Hey. Where do you think
you're going?
- Hardware store.
- Oh, you're not driving.
I'm fine.
You don't have a license.
Yeah, well, you got
more tickets than me.
Yeah, that's because
I'm reckless, not blind.
Okay. [scoffs] You need to go
to the eye doctor.
Mandy, look, there's already
a blonde lady in this house
whose job it is
to make me unhappy.
You want me to get her?
I can get her.
- Mom!
- Shh! Shh!
Okay, let me take you
to get your eyes checked.
No, I don't need another doctor
telling me I'm getting old.
Is that what this is about?
Every time I go,
it's a new thing;
high cholesterol,
enlarged prostate.
I'm a big guy, maybe
I should have a big prostate.
Is that how prostates work?
I honestly don't know.
You know, ever since I turned 50,
I've been getting mailers from the AARP.
Well, can't read 'em.
I'm not going to the eye doctor.
- Mom!
- You suck.
All right, Jeff,
let's see what you got.
PASTOR JEFF [over radio]:
Test, test.
"This Little Light Of Mine,"
take one.
This little light of mine ♪
I'm gonna let it shine ♪
This little light of mine ♪
I'm gonna let it shine ♪
Everybody.
MARY and JEFF:
This little light of mine ♪
I'm gonna let it shine ♪
- I can't hear you.
- Let it shine ♪
- Let it shine, let it shine ♪
- Let it shine, let it ♪
What the heck?
Second verse, same as the first.
You want me to lose my house?
You saw the ad, huh?
I did.
See? And you came right in.
- What ad?
- The one on the bus bench
that I told him
he couldn't afford.
Are you kidding me?
It's fine. I found some money
in the budget.
You can't just find money.
I was looking over our books, and I realized,
if we reported a loss this quarter,
we could lower our corporate
tax burden to get a refund,
which I took an advance on
to buy the ad.
You realized that?
I just said it, didn't I?
But who said it first?
I'm sorry,
is it so hard to believe
that I can figure that out?
- Yes.
- Absolutely.
I'm insulted.
This was Audrey's doing,
wasn't it?
Yes, but I'm still insulted.
Remember me?
No.
Really?
I came in here a couple days ago
to take my eye test.
That narrows it down.
I didn't do real good,
so I went and got these bad boys
for driving.
Pretty sharp, huh?
You're a very handsome man.
Okay, what do you want?
Fourth line? Sixth line?
Hey, I tell you what,
I'll just start at the bottom,
work my way up. "Made in China."
Bottom right-hand corner. Bet
no one's ever read that before.
See that clock over there?
2:35.
Oh, no. 2:36.
Congratulations. Just go
get your picture taken over
No, no, no, I'm not done.
I'm not done.
Bup, bup, bup, bup.
Hey, you see that guy standing there?
He's wearing an IZOD shirt.
It got that little alligator
right there, clear as day. Yo!
Nice shirt.
[knock on door]
You and me need to talk.
I didn't go to your son.
He came to me.
I do not care who came to who.
Georgie is being careless
with his money,
and you are helping him.
Oh, please. You're just mad
I found something you didn't.
You didn't find anything.
You are just robbing Peter
to pay Paul.
Well, that's how business works.
Oh, please,
this is not about business.
This is about you
trying to spite me.
It can be both.
Well, guess what, lady?
If I lose my house, I am moving in here.
Why don't you try having
some faith in your son?
You are gonna talk to me
about faith?
I have faith out the wazoo.
Charming.
[sighs]
But I also know
that Georgie can be
impulsive and overly confident,
and sometimes, that gets him
into trouble, and
I don't know if I can take
any more trouble.
I guess it's possible I wasn't thinking
about all you had to lose.
[sighs]
It seems Georgie did kind of
play us against each other.
I suppose he did.
When he was little, any time I said no,
he went straight to his dad.
Amanda still has Jim
wrapped around her finger.
Oh, you should've seen
Missy and George.
Fathers can be so weak.
Well
not every Father.
Ugh, give it a rest.
Hey, I'm-- What-what-what
is happening here?
Your mother just
stopped by for a chat.
No one's yelling?
We are both adults.
- We can have a civilized conversation.
- [Audrey chuckles]
Is that booze in them cups?
Have a seat.
- Actually, I should go say hi to my daughter
- She said sit.
Yes, ma'am.
- That was good.
- Thank you.
- May I?
- Please.
You cannot go pitting us
against each other
to get what you want.
- We are
- I would never
- Don't you interrupt her.
- Yes, ma'am.
I will no longer be
the good cop to her bad cop.
[scoffs] I wouldn't say bad cop.
I would say responsible cop.
Don't be so sensitive.
So now I'm a sensitive cop?
I'm on your side.
Are you? Because it seems like
you're trying to make me the bad guy.
You don't need my help for that.
I'm confused.
Are y'all still mad at me?
BOTH:
Yes.
How am I the bad guy
when you keep trying to take
CeeCee's pacifier away?
Oh, fine, then you can pay
for her braces.
Well, then you can pay
for her therapy.
[laughs] Therapy?
Are you even Texan?
How dare you?
