Previously on Georgie &
Mandy's First Marriage
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-I meant God.
No, I know, so did I.
So God's a woman?
Come on,
it's not that big a deal.
It is a huge deal.
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.
Okay, you know what?
I can't do this.
If that's what it takes
for me to keep this job, then
I quit.
Hey, y'all,
it's Fred Fagenbacher
from Fagenbacher Auto, where
we believe in three things:
God, Texas and quality tires.
We've been keeping your family
on the road safe
and in our prayers
for over 30 years,
and with our fleet
of tow trucks,
if you break down,
we can pick you up 24/7.
We got the best deals on
brakes, tires and alignments.
So come on down
to Fagenbacher Auto,
where the only thing
we put above our customers is
the Lord Himself.
"Himself"? Really?
We don't know
that's a shot at you.
I do, but draw
your own conclusions.
Forget Fagenbacher, he's a jerk.
You haven't been on TV in weeks.
I'm sure people probably
don't even remember you.
I know you mean well,
but shut up.
That ain't true,
a lot of people are still
talking about what you said.
Yeah, just the other day,
our mailman brought it up.
What'd he say?
Uh, you know,
it's not important.
What did he say?
He wanted to know if you were
still in league with Satan.
I'm going to bed.
Give my best to the devil.
Saw your commercial, Fred.
Ooh, did you like it?
Yeah, it was expensive,
but business has been good.
Praise God.
Oh, give it a rest.
Ooh, cranky.
Has your lady God
been holding out on you?
Ain't that just like a woman?
Stop running that ad
and leave Mandy alone.
Oh, it ain't my fault your wife
put her foot in her mouth.
But you know, it's funny,
back in high school,
her mom used to
put her foot in my mouth.
- Dude!
- What'd he say?
Tell him.
You are not a nice man.
Way to let him have it.
Don't worry,
business will bounce back.
Course it will.
You must've had
some lean times,
what did you do?
Sold the store to you.
Hey. You're home early.
There wasn't much to do.
Really? Georgie said
y'all been busy.
Yeah, Georgie lied.
Why?
Well, he didn't want you
to feel bad.
About what?
About saying that God's a woman
and ruining their business.
But again, don't feel bad.
Hang on. That's crazy.
People aren't buying tires
because of what I said?
When you were a teenager,
how many girls
did you stop talking to
'cause of something they said?
It wasn't always what they said.
Sometimes it was what they wore.
You just need to know
your husband's a good guy.
Well, if you love him so much,
why don't you marry him?
He didn't get me pregnant.
I'm online.
What you doing?
I'm on a message board
where people buy and sell
used instruments.
People buy stuff
on the computer?
Why would anybody
want to do that?
It's amazing.
I found someone in Houston
selling an old synthesizer.
You're gonna drive all that way
and give money to a stranger
you met on the computer?
It's perfectly safe, Mom.
I don't know.
I saw a story
like this on Dateline,
where the only thing that
got sold was the fella's kidney.
I'll be fine.
What do you know
about this person?
Do you even know their name?
Course I do.
Cobra3837.
You are not going alone. Jim!
You're overreacting.
- What's up?
- You're going with Connor
to meet
his computer friend, Cobra,
and make sure
they don't steal his kidney.
Need you to sign these.
Okey dokey.
Hey, Mare,
have you heard anyone
badmouthing me around town?
Of course not. People love you.
I thought so, too.
But today at the coffee shop,
this young woman scolded me
for the way
I treated Mandy on TV.
Really?
Yes, she said
I was condescending and sexist.
Me. I love women.
My mother is my best friend.
I used to like
when Sheldon said that about me.
Now I'm not so sure.
Now, this isn't the first time.
There's been others.
A lot of others.
Well, the people who know you
know it's not true.
My wife is one of the others.
Oh.
You know, if you
want to show everyone how much
you support women, why don't you
let me
do the sermon this Sunday?
I know you're trying
to lighten the mood,
but this is not the time.
What do you think I should do?
Well, maybe
you should reach out to Mandy.
Say you're sorry.
Invite her to church.
Once people see
that you two are okay,
this'll all blow over.
Say I'm sorry?
All I did was correct her
when she said God was a woman.
You also
called her ignorant on TV.
Well, I suppose
I could be the bigger man.
Good for you.
I did come down a little hard.
Sometimes I forget
how forceful
we alpha males can be.
Alpha male.
Leader of the pack.
Head honcho.
Right.
- Top banana.
- I get it.
You should've told me.
I didn't want you to feel bad.
For putting you out of business?
We ain't out of business.
And if those customers
got a problem with you,
I don't want 'em anyways.
Mm. Thanks.
Supporting my wife is
more important than running
a successful business,
or food or shoes
for our baby girl.
Thanks again.
Good news is we live rent-free
with your parents
so we can just grow old
and die right here.
Oh, God.
When you think about it,
your parents'll probably go
before us.
Then the whole place is ours.
Though we should
stay in this room.
I don't want to have sex
on some dead people's bed.
Cobra seemed nice.
Yeah.
For a guy with a keyboard,
I expected more fingers.
So, what's special
about this thing?
You know Frank Zappa's album
The Grand Wazoo?
I don't even know
if you're making that up.
This is the same kind of
synthesizer they played.
Oh, okay.
It's got a very unique sound.
Can't wait to hear it.
Might be a while. It's broken.
We drove all this way
to buy a thing that don't work?
You bought a broken Mustang.
Okay, well, that's different.
Vintage cars are an investment.
And they're cool.
The Grand Wazoo, Dad.
How much money
did you waste on this?
400 bucks.
400 bucks?
How do you even have 400 bucks?
My allowance.
From when you were nine?
No, from now.
Hold on.
Your mother still
gives you an allowance?
Not always.
I have to do my chores.
How much does she give you?
Just enough for gas, food
and the occasional
$400 synthesizer.
That doesn't work.
Sadly, no.
Got a minute?
Mandy.
Uh, of course. Uh, come on in.
I've been praying
about you a lot lately.
Well, that's nice.
Unless you've
been asking God to smite me.
No, God's a lover, not a smiter.
Ooh, that should be
on a T-shirt.
Sure.
Anyway, I
I'm glad you're here.
I was hoping
we could clear the air.
Me, too, which is why
I wanted to apologize.
Really?
Yes, I shouldn't have walked off
in the middle of our interview.
It was rude
and unprofessional, and
I'm sorry.
For the way you treated me?
Yes.
Well, I appreciate that, and
I would like to say
that I accept your apology.
- Well, thank you so much.
- Wouldn't be much
of a pastor
if I couldn't forgive people
when they've wronged me.
And if it's
not too much trouble,
maybe you could let people know
they don't need to stay away
from Georgie's business.
I'll do you one better.
How about you,
Georgie and baby CeeCee
come to church this Sunday?
You could even
sit next to my wife.
Really?
Oh, yeah,
that'll send a message.
Mandy, I didn't know
you were here.
Oh, yeah, I just
stopped by
to chat with Pastor Jeff.
We were just finishing up.
Great seeing you.
I am so glad you two made up.
People have been so mean to him.
Mean about what?
Doesn't matter.
I have a very thick skin.
About you losing your job
and the way he treated you.
Really?
A few people
may have said something.
Including your wife.
So people are mad at you,
and you sat there
and let me beg for forgiveness?
Pastor Jeff.
You said
you were gonna apologize.
I was, but then she did,
and I didn't want
to make it all about me.
So my family coming to church
is about making you look better?
Again, let's not
make this about me.
McAllister?
Ain't that the name
of that crazy weather girl?
Huh.
I guess it is. I don't know
No relation.
Actually, McAllister is the guy
we bought the place from.
Been meaning to change it.
I kinda like Tires "R" Us.
You know, it's like,
it's like Toys "R" Us,
but-but you know, for tires.
You were looking for a set
- of 24-inch radials?
- Mm-hmm.
You are not gonna believe
what Pastor Jeff tried to pull.
Excuse me, ma'am,
we'll be with you in a moment.
Yeah, I'm not talking to you,
I'm talking to my husband.
Fagenbacher's a mile
down the road,
across the street
from the Dairy Queen.
Tell him I said hey.
Why do you hate us?
- What's going on?
- So, I went groveling
to Pastor Jeff
to get him to apologize.
- Great.
- Not great.
Turns out he's the one
that should be groveling to me.
- For what?
- People blame him
for me losing my job.
Even his wife is mad about it.
So what you're saying is,
is we got leverage.
What I'm saying is,
he owes me an apology.
Okay, okay, you want an apology,
I want customers, he wants
people to see y'all made up.
This is what we in the business
sector call a negotiation.
It's what everyone
calls a negotiation.
She don't know that.
Yes, I do.
- Hey. How'd it go?
- Oh, great.
The instrument's broken,
Cobra has seven fingers,
and you give Connor
an allowance?
Really, seven fingers?
Audrey, what the hell?
He needs money.
Well, he could find a job.
He's been working hard
on his music.
I like to think that's his job.
I like to think I got
a full head of hair.
That don't make it true.
He's not cut out
for a regular job.
He's an artist.
He's a shapeless blob of clay.
I am not gonna stop
supporting our son.
Well, I'm drawing the line.
No more allowance.
I'm sorry,
you're "drawing the line"?
That's right,
I'm putting my foot down.
Ooh, I hope it's not
on the line you drew.
I'm serious.
Look at my face.
You think I'm fooling around?
You want
to play it that way, fine.
No sex for you tonight.
Well, I'm so glad
that we could all come together
in the spirit
of Christian forgiveness
to work out our differences.
Mm-hmm. I already
apologized once. It's his turn.
You're right. I am sorry.
And is that for the way
you treated me on air
or for trying to use me
to make yourself look better?
Oh, like you weren't
trying to use me
to put your little episode
behind you?
Okay, okay.
Let's remember why we're here:
To use each other.
And Christian forgiveness.
Sure, whatever.
The point is,
we all need something
and we're all gonna have
to give a little to get it.
What do you mean?
Well, Pastor Jeff would like us
to come back to church
so people can see
that he and Mandy made up.
And for my wife to see it.
I cannot sleep
on the couch anymore.
My back is all cattywampus.
So what do I get?
The bounty of Christ's love.
It's okay, that's just what
we call an opening offer.
But I think
what we were looking for
is something
a little more concrete.
Like what?
Like encourage the congregation
to come back to the store.
I can do that.
Oh, and I want a contract
to do all the tires
for the church vans again.
Hold on,
if Pastor Jeff's doing that,
then you gotta guarantee us
three Sundays a month of church.
Ugh. Two.
Fine. But when
CeeCee's old enough,
Sunday school.
Baptist Sunday school.
Your mom is not gonna like that.
Yeah, true.
We can make that work.
But I want my job back.
I can't get you your job back.
- You can try.
- How?
Well, sic
the congregation on them,
write letters, threaten them
with the wrath of God,
figure it out.
I'm not a miracle worker.
But I do know one.
I'll see what I can do.
Then we got a deal?
Two Sundays, front row,
sit next to my wife
and tell her we're good.
See you at church.
And you better stay awake.
Too late, deal's closed.
Hey, there.
What is that?
It's a new TV.
Really ties the room
together, don't you think?
It's a monstrosity.
Yeah, we might have to slide
the couch back a few feet.
So you just went out
and bought a new TV
without talking to me?
You do whatever
you want with our money.
I thought I would, too.
That thing is not staying
in my house.
Oh, I'm sorry,
are you putting your foot down?
Really?
You want to start
a spending war?
'Cause I have always wanted
to own a horse.
Great, we can
go riding together.
You on your horse
and me on my new Harley.
You are not
getting a motorcycle.
Well, you're not
getting a horse.
That thing's
going back to the store.
Have at it. Lift with your legs.
Hey, y'all,
it's Fred Fagenbacher from
Fagenbacher Auto,
where we believe
Oh, he looks good
on a big screen.
Check out all that hair.
Fine, I'll bring it back.
Let's all welcome Georgie,
Mandy and baby CeeCee,
who are excited to be
full-time members of our flock.
And just remember,
if anyone has any tire needs,
McAllister Auto's
the place to go.
Say "Jesus loves you"
for 10% off.
And of course,
let's keep Mandy in our prayers
as she searches
for another job. Now let's all
bow our heads.
Our Father in Heaven
Prayers?
He gets us at church,
you get your business
and I get stupid prayers?
Don't knock prayers, Bon Jovi's
been living on 'em for years.
I wanted pitchforks,
I wanted torches,
I wanted them
to go after the station
the way that they went after me.
You wanted to help
the business and you did.
That's gotta
feel pretty good, right?
Yeah, yeah,
I'm going to heaven. Big whoop.
You might not believe in it,
but I prayed
for a hot wife. Boom.
I prayed for
a healthy daughter. Boom.
All that's left is having
my own nacho cheese dispenser
like at the movies.
We are never getting that.
Excuse me, but this is
between me and God.
Your father and I have talked
and we've agreed to continue
giving you an allowance.
- Great.
- There's conditions.
We're considering making
music your job
and the money is your payment,
but you gotta
work at it every day.
Oh. No, thank you.
Come again?
Not interested.
We're giving you money
to pursue your dream.
No, you're turning it into work.
That you get paid for.
I don't make music for money.
I do it when I'm inspired,
when I have
something important to say.
You wrote a song
about a salamander.
And I couldn't have done that
if I was working for the man.
- Unbelievable.
- No.
If that's the way you feel,
we respect it.
No, we don't.
- No more allowance.
- Jim.
I'm serious. End of discussion.
I don't mean to cause problems
between you two.
Maybe I should go find a job.
And let him win? Don't you dare!
Okay. Thank you so much.
Bye-bye.
You are not gonna believe this.
That was Channel Nine.
They just offered me a job.
They don't care about
the stuff you said?
No, they like it.
They think the controversy
will be good for ratings.
Well, that's amazing.
But you're not gonna
say more crazy stuff, right?
Who knows? I'm a loose cannon,
that's what they love about me.
Huh.
Well, looks like the power
of prayer really worked.
That's not what happened.
Nothing was going on,
everyone prayed for you,
suddenly the phone rings.
Yeah, I sent them
my tape weeks ago.
And they just called now.
That's a coincidence.
Sure. Or an act of God.
You think, of all
the prayers in the world,
God decided to answer this one?
He helped the Cowboys
win the Super Bowl,
why not
you being a weather girl?
Okay, he didn't help them win,
they're also good at their job.
I don't know,
they sure thanked Him a lot.
Maybe you should, too.
Fine.
Thank you
for making me good at my job.
- Amen.
- Amen.
And I just want to thank all you
prayer warriors out there.
Thanks to your hard work
and, of course,
God's open ears
Mrs. Peoples' cat
returned home,
the high school chess team won
the division, and of course,
Mandy McAllister
got a new job as
a weather girl on Channel Nine.
Praise the Lord, we did it!
God is good.
He sure is.
Hallelujah!
