Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage (2024) s02e09 Episode Script
Payback and a Partial Shebang
1
Previously on Georgie &
Mandy's First Marriage
Fred Fagenbacher offered us
a great deal
on the church buses, so
we're gonna have to go with him.
You're just trying
to drive me out of business.
Oh, you mean First Baptist.
- What if we were to punch back
at Fagenbacher? - How?
- GEORGIE: He stole some of our business.
We steal some of his.
[whispers]:
I hope this works.
I know what you did.
Don't know
what you're talking about.
You know.
[door opens and closes]
What do you think?
I think he knows.
[crickets chirping]
Before we eat, I'd like to thank
your father for setting the table.
Oh. Not a big deal.
Couple of notes--
The knives are on the wrong side,
nobody has napkins,
and, for some reason,
Amanda has a shrimp fork.
[deep voice]:
I feel like a giant.
Sorry I'm late.
I had a tow out on 59.
Ooh, that's a drive.
Yeah. And when I got there,
no car.
Oh. Well, maybe they managed
to get it running again.
Ain't the first time
it's happened this week.
A mystery.
Exciting.
It ain't a mystery.
It's Fagenbacher trying
to get back at us.
Still exciting.
Get back at you for what?
You know, for
for being his competition.
Don't you think he has better
things to do with his time?
I wouldn't put it past him.
When I was in charge,
he sent out a bunch of coupons
saying we were offering
free tires.
- It was a mess.
- What did you do?
He didn't do anything.
Oh, yes, I did. I
gave away free tires.
[pager buzzes]
- Is that another tow?
- I ain't falling for it again.
Yeah, don't let him make
a sucker out of you.
- Not gonna.
- But what if it's real
and there's some mom
o-on the side of the road
with her kids in the back seat
all scared and hungry?
If there ain't no starving kids
out there, I'm gonna be pissed.
♪
[coos]
What's with all the snow tires?
Delivery guy
dropped 'em off this morning.
Why'd you order 'em?
I thought you did.
It hasn't snowed here
in, like, 20 years.
Your wife's a weather girl.
I thought you got a tip.
Fagenbacher.
You think?
It's payback for his tow trucks.
I knew that was a bad idea.
What do you mean?
You were all in.
I didn't want to disappoint you.
I'm a people pleaser.
That's it. I'm calling him.
[phone rings]
Georgie Cooper.
What a pleasant surprise.
Okay, you've had your fun,
but it stops now.
Wow, golly, you sound upset.
Sending me all over town
on fake tows,
the snow tires--
you know anything about that?
You know anything about how the
bleach got into my tow trucks?
I do not.
Really?
So if you're innocent and
I'm innocent, are we looking at some kind
of tire-hating terrorist organization?
We both know that ain't
what's going on here.
I don't know nothing.
Oh, please.
If one of us don't know nothing,
it's me and you know it.
I'm just saying
you should be careful.
Ain't no way of knowing
what those rascals will do next.
Oh, I am a bad puddy tat.
- What'd he say?
- He's coming after us.
- How?
- I don't know.
- When?
- I don't know.
What should we do?
How many "I don't knows" do you need to hear
before you get that I don't know?
I guess three.
I mean, he ain't gonna do
anything while we're here.
- What about at night?
- We'll get a security system--
- alarms, cameras, the whole shebang.
- The whole shebang?
We can't afford
a partial shebang.
Then we'll take turns
watching the store at night.
Forever?
No. Just until we can afford
a couple security cameras.
So, forever.
Okay. Guess
I'll just see you tomorrow.
All right. Love you, too.
What's going on?
Georgie's gonna sleep
at the store tonight.
Honeymoon's over, huh?
He's not avoiding me.
He's keeping an eye
on his business.
Good. I'm rooting for you kids.
This about Fagenbacher?
Apparently.
Well, maybe I should go talk
to old Fred,
tell him to back off.
Maybe I should go talk to him.
Why?
Well, you know.
He and I have
history.
History?
She had a life before you, Dad.
We were teenagers.
It was very innocent.
Eh, you just like
when he flirts with you.
It's not my fault he thinks
I look exactly the way I did
in high school. [chuckles]
You looked 50 in high school?
[music playing over TV]
Yasmine Bleeth,
you're even hot
in black and white.
[knocking]
- Hi!
- [mutes TV]
Dang near gave me
a heart attack.
Sorry.
Brought you some dinner.
Thanks.
So, you just gonna sit here
all night?
Better safe than sorry.
Is it possible
that you're overreacting?
I called Fagenbacher
to tell him to back off,
and he made what I would have
to call a covert threat.
You mean "overt."
What's "overt"?
You know, like, uh, obvious.
- Then what's covert?
- Sneaky.
Well, then it was overt
and covert.
So, what,
you're just gonna live here now?
This store is our future.
I can't let nothing happen to it.
Okay.
Well, do you want some company?
Really?
Yeah, Mom can put CeeCee to bed.
Mm. And where would we enjoy
each other's company?
Do you remember the first time?
- [snorts softly] Back seat of my car?
- Mm-hmm. Come on.
Got anything bigger?
There's a hearse out back
waiting on new tires.
That's creepy, right?
There a coffin in it?
Course not.
Eh, let's give it a shot.
You are freaking me out.
- Mr. Fagenbacher, I'm Mandy McAllister.
- Oh. Georgie's wife.
How's he doing?
Okay, whatever's going on
with you two needs to stop.
[chuckles]: Ooh. Are you his muscle?
Huh? You gonna rough me up?
[chuckles]
'Cause I would not be opposed.
Ew.
No, Georgie doesn't know
that I'm here.
- You don't say.
- Enough.
I'm just playing.
Yeah? Well, I'm not.
You leave my husband alone.
Or what?
[chuckles softly]
I'll have you know
I work
for the Channel Seven news,
and you do not want
to be on my bad side.
Ain't you just the weather girl?
Which is a vital part
of the news team.
Well, if you're looking
for a story,
how about your husband
breaking into my lot
and vandalizing my tow trucks.
[scoffs]
What are you talking about?
Poured bleach into my gas tanks.
Caused thousands of dollars
worth of damage.
- You're lying.
- [chuckles softly]
He didn't tell you about that,
you didn't tell him you're here--
there's a lot of secrets
in this marriage.
Look, just leave him alone,
Fred.
Oh, you can call me "Freddy."
Your mom used to. You know
in the throes of passion.
[scoffs]
I will show you passion.
Nice try.
Damn it.
[door slams]
- What the hell were you thinking?
- What?
Did you destroy
Fagenbacher's tow trucks?
- Who told you that?
- Fagenbacher.
You talked to him?
- This feels like a family issue.
I'm just gonna - Stay!
[groans]
Wait, were you in on it, too?
- In on what?
- Ruben.
It was his idea!
- [gasps]
- Dude.
- She's scary.
- Georgie,
you could go to jail.
- If he had proof, I'd already be there.
- Yeah, well, he knows something.
Don't worry. I've got
everything under control.
Control?
Have you lost your mind?
You cannot go destroying
private property!
Excuse me,
at any point,
did Fred mention me?
No.
Thanks.
Continue.
Um, where was I?
Destroying private property.
Right.
Don't do that!
♪
♪
It's awfully quiet.
Who's mad at who?
We're just enjoying our food.
- Yep.
- You two.
Got it.
You going back
to the store tonight?
Ruben's keeping an eye
on things.
I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
Yeah.
What kind of person would
vandalize someone's store?
I don't know. Someone who thought
they had no other choice?
Or maybe someone
who didn't think at all.
GEORGIE: I bet someone thought
a lot about it.
If anyone's confused,
"someone" is Georgie.
Just look out your window.
Do you mind if I go eat
in front of the TV?
- Go ahead.
- Yes!
Jordan for three.
Jordan for two.
[knocking at door]
What do you want?
I'm just here to talk.
Fine. Talk.
[chuckling]
You don't offer a man a drink?
We got Yoo-hoo
and half-and-half.
Lucky for me, I always carry.
So, listen, son
I ain't got a problem with you.
Then why you trying
to run me out of business?
I'm trying to run
Georgie Cooper out of business.
You're just collateral damage.
Hey, I'm a partner
in this store.
What if you weren't?
What's that mean?
I buy you out,
make you whole,
come work for me.
You serious?
No more debt,
no more stress,
no more Georgie Cooper
as a partner.
- Georgie's great.
- Ruben
Georgie's fine.
I'm trying to throw you
a life jacket.
You should grab it.
I don't need a life jacket.
I'm an excellent swimmer.
There is no life jacket, son.
It's a metaphor.
This is a one-time offer.
If I was you,
I'd take it.
I can't.
I couldn't.
I shouldn't.
I'll get back to you.
[sighs]
[crickets chirping]
- Got another one for you.
- Here.
[clanking]
You want to talk about it?
About what?
Whatever the dishwasher did
to piss you off.
I'm not in the mood.
[sighs]
Look,
I promise you,
Georgie meant well.
So you know what he did?
No.
- Dad.
- Well,
I-I know something was done.
That's it.
If my husband
is doing something stupid,
I want to know.
Uh
A-As a husband who's done
his fair share of stupid stuff,
you really don't.
Just never once thought
about me and CeeCee.
Maybe he was doing it
for you and CeeCee.
What sense does that make?
It makes a lot of sense.
You know, a guy will take some crazy
risks to provide for his family.
That's dumb.
Yeah, but
it's understandable.
So you're saying
I shouldn't be mad at my husband
for being dumb because he was
being dumb for the right reason?
You are as smart
as you are pretty.
Whoa, whoa. Uh, uh, you think
that's gonna work on me?
Uh, all right. Let me try again.
You are a strong,
intelligent young lady.
A role model. Really.
Wait, but still pretty, right?
Hey.
[tiredly]:
Morning.
Rough night?
Yeah. A lot on my mind.
Tossed and turned.
Oh, poor baby.
I slept in a hearse.
I don't know how long
I can do this, Georgie.
What are you talking about?
Maybe we should get out.
You know, try and sell the shop
to Fagenbacher.
[scoffs]
We can't do that.
Why not?
I got plans.
McAllister Auto is phase one.
Right.
You got plans.
Have you even asked
what my plans are?
Fine. What are your plans?
To not go bankrupt.
To not go to jail.
And the next time
I'm in a hearse,
I want to be dead.
Calm down.
I'll get us through this.
It's your fault we're in it.
I'm just trying to do whatever I can
to make this store successful.
What do you think
I'm trying to do?
Honestly, I don't know.
[scoffs]
Screw you.
Someday when we're rich,
you're gonna thank me.
You know what? I'm wrong.
It's not your fault.
It's my fault
for listening to you.
It's okay. I forgive you.
[exhales sharply]
Uh-huh. Well, that sounds like
it's just a patch job, you know?
Bring it in, give us 20 minutes,
we'll get you back on the road.
[chuckles softly]
Okay, see you then.
- Thanks for helping me out.
- Oh,
it's fine. In high school,
I worked here on weekends.
It's a lot easier
when you're not hungover.
Well, you're hired.
Okay, well, this is a TV face,
not a tire face.
Oh, it's just until
Ruben comes to his senses.
You ever considered
maybe he's not the problem?
Then who is?
It's just the two of us.
Just doing whatever you want
is not how you have
a partnership.
You talking about you and me
or me and Ruben?
Uh, well, which one of us
gives you advice you ignore
or disagrees with you and then
you do what you want anyway?
That's a trick question.
I do it to both of you.
Bingo.
So this is my fault?
Bingo, bingo.
So I should go apologize
to Ruben?
Bingo, bingo, bango, bongo.
Fine.
Hey, uh, you know,
you could also apologize to me.
We're married. Wait your turn.
Hola. Georgie.
Uh, sorry.
"Hola" is the only Spanish
I know.
Oh, and "por favor."
Ooh, and "chimichanga."
And that one.
Ruben calls me that
all the time.
She seems nice.
She hates you.
She just met me.
I talk about you a lot.
Can I come in?
Sure.
Nice place.
[clears throat]
Nice place!
She says thank you.
- What do you want?
- [chuckles softly]
Look, I just wanted to
Is she gonna stare at me
the whole time?
Yes.
GEORGIE:
It has come to my attention
that I'm not always
the best partner.
And I want to be better.
Fagenbacher offered
to buy me out.
You're kidding.
Pretty good deal.
I'd come out clean, no debt.
Make a few bucks.
What'd you say?
Said I'd get back to him.
Ruben, please,
I know this has been hard,
but I can't do this without you.
[scoffs] You're just saying that
'cause you're scared I'm gonna sell.
No. No, I'm saying it
'cause it's true.
Appreciate that.
So we good?
Not quite.
You need to make me
a counteroffer.
Really?
You're gonna use this
to negotiate?
Wouldn't you?
Yeah.
[chuckling]
Well, how about
when we disagree,
I bring in Mr. McAllister
to be the tiebreaker?
Interesting. So you're just
gonna keep it in the family.
It's not like that. He did run
the place for 30 years.
- Counteroffer.
- Go.
When we need a tiebreaker,
it's my abuela.
Seriously?
[chuckling]
Idiota.
♪
All right.
Thanks. I'll let you know.
- Hey, Ruben.
- What?
Come here. I want
to run something by you.
- Yeah.
- I just got off the phone with a guy
who can give us a great deal
on a second tow truck.
Who's gonna drive it?
We'd have to hire someone.
I don't know. It's a tough one.
Yeah.
Abuela?

Maybe he was doing it
for you and CeeCee.
What sense does that make?
It makes a lot of sense.
You know, a guy will take some crazy
risks to provide for his family.
That's dumb.
Yeah, but
it's understandable.
So you're saying
I shouldn't be mad at my husband
for being dumb because he was
being dumb for the right reason?
You are as smart
as you are pretty.
Whoa, whoa. Uh, uh, you think
that's gonna work on me?
Uh, all right. Let me try again.
You are a strong,
intelligent young lady.
A role model. Really.
Wait, but still pretty, right?
Hey.
[tiredly]:
Morning.
Rough night?
Yeah. A lot on my mind.
Tossed and turned.
Oh, poor baby.
I slept in a hearse.
I don't know how long
I can do this, Georgie.
What are you talking about?
Maybe we should get out.
You know, try and sell the shop
to Fagenbacher.
[scoffs]
We can't do that.
Why not?
I got plans.
McAllister Auto is phase one.
Right.
You got plans.
Have you even asked
what my plans are?
Fine. What are your plans?
To not go bankrupt.
To not go to jail.
And the next time
I'm in a hearse,
I want to be dead.
Calm down.
I'll get us through this.
It's your fault we're in it.
I'm just trying to do whatever I can
to make this store successful.
What do you think
I'm trying to do?
Honestly, I don't know.
[scoffs]
Screw you.
Someday when we're rich,
you're gonna thank me.
You know what? I'm wrong.
It's not your fault.
It's my fault
for listening to you.
It's okay. I forgive you.
[exhales sharply]
Uh-huh. Well, that sounds like
it's just a patch job, you know?
Bring it in, give us 20 minutes,
we'll get you back on the road.
[chuckles softly]
Okay, see you then.
- Thanks for helping me out.
- Oh,
it's fine. In high school,
I worked here on weekends.
It's a lot easier
when you're not hungover.
Well, you're hired.
Okay, well, this is a TV face,
not a tire face.
Oh, it's just until
Ruben comes to his senses.
You ever considered
maybe he's not the problem?
Then who is?
It's just the two of us.
Just doing whatever you want
is not how you have
a partnership.
You talking about you and me
or me and Ruben?
Uh, well, which one of us
gives you advice you ignore
or disagrees with you and then
you do what you want anyway?
That's a trick question.
I do it to both of you.
Bingo.
So this is my fault?
Bingo, bingo.
So I should go apologize
to Ruben?
Bingo, bingo, bango, bongo.
Fine.
Hey, uh, you know,
you could also apologize to me.
We're married. Wait your turn.
Hola. Georgie.
Uh, sorry.
"Hola" is the only Spanish
I know.
Oh, and "por favor."
Ooh, and "chimichanga."
And that one.
Ruben calls me that
all the time.
She seems nice.
She hates you.
She just met me.
I talk about you a lot.
Can I come in?
Sure.
Nice place.
[clears throat]
Nice place!
She says thank you.
- What do you want?
- [chuckles softly]
Look, I just wanted to
Is she gonna stare at me
the whole time?
Yes.
GEORGIE:
It has come to my attention
that I'm not always
the best partner.
And I want to be better.
Fagenbacher offered
to buy me out.
You're kidding.
Pretty good deal.
I'd come out clean, no debt.
Make a few bucks.
What'd you say?
Said I'd get back to him.
Ruben, please,
I know this has been hard,
but I can't do this without you.
[scoffs] You're just saying that
'cause you're scared I'm gonna sell.
No. No, I'm saying it
'cause it's true.
Appreciate that.
So we good?
Not quite.
You need to make me
a counteroffer.
Really?
You're gonna use this
to negotiate?
Wouldn't you?
Yeah.
[chuckling]
Well, how about
when we disagree,
I bring in Mr. McAllister
to be the tiebreaker?
Interesting. So you're just
gonna keep it in the family.
It's not like that. He did run
the place for 30 years.
- Counteroffer.
- Go.
When we need a tiebreaker,
it's my abuela.
Seriously?
[chuckling]
Idiota.
♪
All right.
Thanks. I'll let you know.
- Hey, Ruben.
- What?
Come here. I want
to run something by you.
- Yeah.
- I just got off the phone with a guy
who can give us a great deal
on a second tow truck.
Who's gonna drive it?
We'd have to hire someone.
I don't know. It's a tough one.
Yeah.
Abuela?
