Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage (2024) s02e12 Episode Script

1
Previously on Georgie & Mandy's
First Marriage
That was Channel Seven,
they want me
to fill in for the regular
weather girl on Friday.
Heather with the Weather?
Heather has to go
to her grandma's funeral in El Paso.
- Which is obviously sad.
- You don't look sad.
Well, I am.
Overnight, into the morning,
we'll be seeing
some wind gusts which should
clear out those clouds.
Dang, she's really good.
Heather will be back
with the weather on Monday,
unless she needs a few
extra days with her family,
which would be very understandable,
given the tragedy that's befallen her.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
No CeeCee today?
No, but it's nice
when you're disappointed it's just me.
I am always happy to see you.
But happier when
I bring your granddaughter.
I'm not gonna
lie in church, so yes.
I brought you some canned goods
for the food drive.
That is very thoughtful.
Well, you haven't seen
the expiration dates.
Mary, did you order the-- Oh.
Hey there, Mandy.
Didn't know we had
a celebrity in our midst.
Oh, please,
it's just the local news.
Well, let's not forget
the biggest celebrity of all.
He's here, too.
Amen to that.
Okay, I'm gonna go.
I don't know if Mary told you about
the church carnival we have coming up?
It's a pretty big deal,
some might even
call it newsworthy.
Oh, well, me and Georgie
will try to stop by.
Oh, I think what
Pastor Jeff is trying to say
is that it could be really
helpful if you were to
- run it by your bosses--
- Please put it on the news.
That.
All the money goes to charity,
and we could really
use the publicity.
Well, we do cover that
sort of thing, so I'll check.
And, if you do,
maybe you could wear something
a little more modest than usual.
Don't blow this.
Just sometimes
she shows too much bosom.
If her boss is okay with it,
we should be, too.
What about our boss?
Jesus hung out with prostitutes.
He's fine.
♪
[coos]
It's a win-win.
Church gets some publicity
for their charity thing
and I get extra air time.
So you'll cover the Baptist church
but not the Catholic church.
Hey, I would cover a cult
if it got me on TV more.
Well, then,
you're off to a good start.
Well, church carnival's
actually pretty fun.
There's booths and games,
Pastor Jeff in a dunk tank.
You know, I had my first kiss
at a church carnival kissing booth.
You paid for your first kiss?
That's sad.
It was a thing people did,
it wasn't weird.
Yeah, she was
my Sunday school teacher.
Okay, it was weird.
Maybe the shop
should sponsor a booth.
I mean a game,
not a creepy one like his.
His was a game: herpes roulette.
I'm thinking like
throw a football through a tire
and win a free oil change.
You sure?
This is Texas, a lot of people
can throw a football.
I can't.
No, son, you really can't.
I can teach him.
No, son, you really can't.
♪
So, what you think?
It's a great idea.
- Really?
- Yeah
Advertising, build some
goodwill with the community.
Huh. You don't
usually agree with me.
Well, you don't
usually have good ideas.
Are you messing with me?
No, I think this is smart.
Are you doing
reverse psychology?
No.
Are you doing
reverse psychology?
I don't think so.
So what's happening,
are we doing the booth or not?
I'm not sure anymore.
Okay, so they're gonna go live
to us in about 20 minutes.
Just keep it casual
and look at me, not at the camera.
You don't need to explain it to me,
I'm also in the news business.
The good news business.
[laughs]
Funny.
I got more like that.
Can't wait.
So, uh, any questions?
Yes. Does that blouse have one more button
or is that all the way up?
You're blowing it again.
Pretty as a picture.
You know, you're looking a little shiny.
Do you want me to powder you?
I have my own makeup, thank you.
Damn it.
Church carnival.
"Dang its" only please.
Hey, how's it going?
Great, no winners so far,
but I'm handing out
a lot of business cards.
I guess everyone
can't throw a football.
I rigged it.
The ball's extra heavy
and the tire's extra small.
What, you're cheating
at a church carnival?
How are you your mother's son?
I think it skips a generation.
Also, what if when you're
interviewing Pastor Jeff,
our booth is in the background?
So Mandy McAllister's
is standing in front of
the McAllister Tire booth?
Yeah.
And maybe take it down a button.
Okay, you and your mother need
to think less about my cleavage.
The pet python was finally found
in the bathroom at the local park,
so just remember,
look before you leak.
And if you're looking for something fun
to do with the family this weekend,
our very own Mandy McAllister
has a suggestion. Mandy?
Thank you, Kimberly.
So, I'm here
with Pastor Jeff Difford
at the First Baptist
Church carnival
where the funnel cakes are hot,
the booths are hopping,
and all the money
goes to charity.
Pastor Jeff,
give us the details.
Well, the devil's in the details,
but I'll give you the scoop.
- Just a little church humor.
- Mm-hmm.
You did warn me.
We'll be out here all weekend
raising money
for the food bank.
It's gonna be full of
good old-fashioned
wholesome fun.
Sack races, egg toss
You might even get a chance to sink
yours truly in the dunk tank.
Oh, well, that is tempting.
And it's gonna be
a beautiful day for it.
I've predicted sunny skies
all through Monday.
Guess we've got Him
to thank for that.
Or Her.
Oh, I meant God.
No, I know, so did I.
But God's a man.
Yeah, could be a woman.
"Our Father who art in heaven."
Sounds like a man.
Fair point, although,
"created all life"
sounds like a woman.
Well, He's not.
I'm just saying, we don't know.
You may not, but I do.
Well, one thing we can agree on,
the carnival's open
from noon till 9:00 Saturday and Sunday,
so come on down.
For Channel Seven,
I'm Mandy McAllister.
He's a man.
And we're clear.
[clears throat]
Okay. Well, that was fun.
What?
Look, I know your mom's upset,
but other than her
and Pastor Jeff,
I promise, no one cares.
So God's a woman?
See?
Come on,
it's not that big a deal.
It is a huge deal.
Dad, you get
I didn't say anything bad?
Still shouldn't have said it.
Oh, my God.
Maybe cool it with
the "G" word for a while.
It's not like I said
God doesn't exist,
because I think She does.
Not funny.
I have to live in this town.
I have a hair appointment tomorrow.
That is three hours of dirty looks
and "bless your hearts."
You're overreacting.
There's three things
you don't talk about in Texas:
Religion, politics and money.
What about sex?
Four things.
Well, maybe it's time
we start talking about them.
Bless your heart.
Uh-huh. Yeah. Uh-huh.
Well, I can assure you,
her views do not
reflect those of the station
and we will take care of it.
I don't think
we stone people anymore.
Thanks for calling.
Goodbye, Reverend.
Let me guess, another fan?
It's not a joke,
folks are really upset. Listen.
[answering machine beeps]
WOMAN:
Tell that blaspheming bimbo
she can do her next
weather report from hell.
Well, that's silly.
It's gonna be hot there.
Maybe we should pull you
off the schedule for a while,
- let everybody cool down.
- No, no, no,
don't take me off the air.
I can fix this.
I'll just apologize.
Really?
Yeah. Why are you surprised?
'Cause as long
as I've known you,
I've never heard you
apologize for anything.
[scoffs]
And I am so sorry for that--
I heard it, I'll practice.
And before we go to commercial,
our Channel Seven weather girl,
Mandy McAllister, has a special
message for our audience.
Mandy.
Thanks, Kimberly.
I just wanted
to address some comments
I made on air yesterday.
I meant no disrespect,
but I understand
if some of you were offended,
so, from the bottom of my heart,
I'm sorry
you took it the wrong way.
Personally,
I thought it was a compliment.
I think women are great
and God would be
so lucky to be one.
But this is Texas,
so I should've
kept my mouth shut.
Back to you, Kimberly.
Okey dokey.
And while we go to commercial,
how about we all pray for Mandy.
Suspended. Can you believe it?
Oh, I got suspended
a ton of times.
It ain't bad.
Sit at home, watch TV,
hit your dad's liquor cabinet.
Okay, this isn't
high school, Georgie.
I could lose my job.
You ain't gonna lose nothing.
You just got to
let this blow over.
Somebody'll grow
the world's biggest pumpkin
and they'll forget
all about you.
I really don't think so.
You see how huge
some of them pumpkins get?
You could live in 'em.
Do you think
what I said was so wrong?
I don't know,
I guess I never really
thought about it.
Why would you? You're a man.
Hey, if God's a woman,
I'm cool with it.
You really feel that way?
Yeah.
Wow, I wish everybody
was as open-minded as you.
I mean, if you think about it,
plagues, floods
that kind of temper
sounds like a woman to me.
I bet that's the look God gives
right before She smites folks.
- Hey.
- Hey, honey. Everything okay?
Not really. Mandy got suspended.
I heard, I'm sorry.
Are you?
Of course.
She's my daughter-in-law
and I love her.
But she said what she said.
Then she tried to undo
what she said and she said more.
She was only at that carnival
'cause y'all asked.
I didn't ask her to mock God.
She said she's sorry.
That I took it
the wrong way, I heard.
That ain't what she meant.
Georgie,
what do you want me to do?
I can't help
that people are mad.
Maybe Pastor Jeff can
say something in his sermon.
You know, love the sinner,
judge not lest you be judged,
give Mandy a break 'cause
her husband's drowning in debt.
I will talk to him,
but he is mighty peeved.
Yeah, but he listens to you,
so you can de-peeve him.
"De-peeve him?"
Un-peeve him?
No, it's "de-peeve."
What you reading?
Another batch of hate mail.
Joke's on you,
"Satan Barbie" sounds cool.
May I?
Oh, yeah, knock yourself out.
So, the bad ones go here
and the really bad ones go here.
- What's that pile?
- You don't want to know.
I thought at least
one person would be on my side.
Now, hold on.
I think this one
No. Whoa. Yeah, no.
- Hey. Where you been?
- Church.
Congratulations,
you knocked a pregnant teenager
off the top of the prayer list.
Someone's the belle of the ball.
Why were you at church?
I was hoping I could get
Pastor Jeff to say something
in his sermon
to calm everyone down.
Is he gonna?
- He will.
- Great.
If you sit down with him
on air and publicly apologize.
Oh, no. I will not be extorted.
Okay. Well, I tried.
I'll do it. I'll do it.
Hey! Hey, I'll do it!
Shouldn't you be working?
On what? We've barely
had any customers
since your wife made God mad.
There's a car up on the lift.
Yeah, mine.
Figure I'd change the shocks
on what may be my new home.
She's gonna fix this and
everything'll be back to normal.
Doesn't help
that her name is on the store.
So we'll change
the name to Cooper.
Why not Alvarez?
Cooper's got two "O"s.
we can make 'em look like tires.
I want to argue with that
but it's good.
I thought Mandy threw
those letters away.
She did.
You took 'em out of the trash?
I tried not to.
I failed.
What is wrong with people?
They don't
have to agree with her,
but there's no reason
to tear her apart.
You know, we got one of them AOL
discs in the mail the other day.
What about it?
I have a feeling this whole
World Wide Web thing
is gonna bring us all together.
Make people kind.
Can't happen soon enough.
People all over the world
talking to each other.
I don't see the downside.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You're not reading
more of them letters are you?
Oh, my mom found
this one in the pile,
it's from a little girl.
They can be mean.
Don't take it personal.
No, she thanked me
for what I said.
She called me an inspiration.
She didn't spell it right,
but it still counts.
I-N-S-P-I-R-A-T-I-O-N?
Yes.
Take that, Sheldon.
Anyway, it got me
thinking about CeeCee
and the kind of example
I'm setting.
What do you mean?
Being a hypocrite
just to keep my job.
Everybody does that.
Besides, she's gonna
grow up with
a famous news lady for a mom.
That's a good example.
I guess.
Oh, come on,
great job, beautiful kid,
young trophy husband.
You've got it all.
Trophy husband, huh?
You've seen me
with my shirt off.
[scoffs]
Pastor Jeff,
thank you again for doing this.
Happy to be an example
of Christian forgiveness.
Get that all out now.
I was just stretching my eyes.
TOMMY:
Okay, we're back
in five, four
Hi, Mandy McAllister again.
Don't change the channel.
I know I upset a lot of people,
and I realized that
instead of talking more,
I should listen.
Which is why I have Pastor Jeff
from First Baptist here with me.
Can I just say,
I am so sorry
that I offended you.
Thank you.
And I understand you've been
getting a lot of hate mail,
so I would like to remind
my Christian community
that is not how Jesus
teaches us to behave.
We don't write nasty letters
about our neighbors.
We write them
about The Simpsons.
And thanks to our campaign
Why's she staring like that?
I think she's trying
not to roll her eyes.
Well, I'm so glad
we could put this behind us.
I think what ruffled
the feathers of my flock
was that your comment
seemed disrespectful of God.
Mm-hmm. We good?
And frankly a little
ignorant of the scripture.
"For God so loved the world
that He gave His only son."
Okay, you know what?
I can't do this.
Sure you can. Keep going.
I didn't mean to offend you,
and I am sorry for that,
but I'm not sorry
for what I said.
I don't want my daughter
or any other little girl
thinking that they need to
apologize for having an opinion.
So if that's what it takes
for me to keep this job then
I quit.
What did she do?
What did I do?
