Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage (2024) s01e01 Episode Script

The 6:10 to Lubbock

1
FRASIER (over TV):
In order to prevent spillage,
one does not simply
twist out the cork.
(shouts)
FRASIER: Oh, God!
Frasier's a laughing show.
I like laughing shows.
What are you
talking about?
Well, some shows
you can hear people laughing,
and some you can't.
Wonder Years,
no one's laughing.
Is it funny? We'll never know.
I prefer to laugh
when I choose to.
Really? I ain't never
seen you laugh.
(laughs)
Okay. Got the baby down.
(CeeCee snoring)
Listen to her snore.
What a beautiful sound.
Don't you think it's time
she slept in her own room?
No. She's fine where she is.
I just want her to grow up
to be independent.
Well, now, hang on,
when Mandy was a baby,
she stayed in our room
a good while.
Yes, she did.
And she's still here, Jim.
Hey, if you don't want us,
we're happy to leave.
Hold on. For the first time in
my life, I got my own bathroom.
I ain't goin' nowhere.

(coos)
MANDY:
"I want her to grow up
to be independent."
Boy, she pisses
me off.
Me, too.
Sooner we get out of here,
the better.
Well, we're saving money,
we got built-in babysitters.
I don't care. Every day
I'm in this house with her,
a little piece of me dies.
We just got to make sure
it ain't my favorite pieces.
Oh, really? And which
pieces are those?
Oh, don't make me say it.
But there's two of 'em.
Come here.
You want to fool around?
Really? I thought
you were all pissed off.
I am.
And that turns you on?
Maybe.
Hmm. This is
valuable information.
Think we can do it
without waking the baby?
I can. You're
the noisy one.
(giggles)
(knock at door)
Oh, dang it.
Y'all left this
on the coffee table.
Oh.
Sleep okay?
I did.
So, all the little pieces
that died because of me
are doing all right?
You know, you could've
turned off the monitor.
But I didn't.
Okay, hope y'all are hungry. Oh.
Nice of the kid
to make breakfast.
Mm-hmm.
This is where you say,
"Thank you, Georgie."
Aw, that ain't necessary.
See?
That ain't necessary.
Hello.
Morning, honey.
Hey, Connor,
how's it going?
Going well. How are you?
We're family. You don't
have to shake my hand.
Understood.
Yeah, that's not
what he meant.
It's okay. I'll take it.
How's your music going?
Excellent.
I'm working on a piece
in seven-four time.
One-two-three,
one-two, one-two ♪
One-two-three, one-two,
one-two. ♪
It's impossible to dance to.
Hey, thanks for the hug.
You're welcome.
I don't know what to do
with that boy.
There's nothing
"to do" with him.
He's just a creative soul.
If it helps,
I've got some experience
with quirky family members.
Oh, that is true.
Sheldon turned out pretty good,
considering majority
of the folks can't stand him.
Well, what did your parents do?
Well, my mom always babied him,
and my dad was
always mad about it.
Yeah, that's exactly
what they've been doing.
Right.
Keep up the good work.
JIM:
Run this work order
back to Ruben.
You sure
that's a good idea?
Just give him time,
he'll warm up to you.
That's what you said
about Mrs. McAllister.
Yeah, I was wrong
on that one. Go on.
Okey dokey.
(music playing)
Ruben, when you're done,
we got an alignment waiting.
Yes, sir.
I told you, you don't have
to call me "sir."
Plain ol' Georgie's fine.
Look at me, taking orders
from "plain ol' Georgie."
Hey, I'm not giving orders.
I'm just a lowly Smurf
working for his lordship.
Lowly serf.
No, I'm pretty sure it's Smurf.
Except one of us is sleeping
with the boss's daughter.
Whoa. Hold on, partner.
I slept with her,
got her pregnant,
and then married her.
The order's a little wonky,
but I checked all the boxes.
Hey, whatever
you say, sir.
Come on, Ruben.
I'm a good guy,
give me a chance.
(chuckles)
I've been here nine years.
How long you been here?
Couple months?
I'm going to night school
to get my bachelor's.
What's your education?
11th grade.
And who has the clipboard,
and who has this thing?
(whirring)
Okay, when you put it that way,
it seems a little unfair.
How old are you?
If I answer that, it's only
gonna seem more unfair.
How's it going out here?
It's fine, all good.
Ruben?
I hate this kid.
Okay, then, carry on.
(tool whirs)
(knocks at door)
Busy?
Just sending the U.S. government
more of our hard-earned money
to piss away.
What's up?
I just wanted to apologize
for some of the things I said.
Like how living here
is killing you?
That is one of the things.
I'm doing
the best I can, Amanda.
I know, and I-I really
appreciate
you and Dad taking us in.
Thank you.
And I am so glad
that you and CeeCee are here.
And?
Georgie.
So what do you think?
Can we start over?
I would like that.
Great.
I'm gonna take CeeCee to
her doctor's appointment.
Do you want to come with us?
Thank you. I would.
All right.
And while we're there,
we can ask the doctor
if we should be concerned
that she's not talking yet.
She's not even a year,
Mom, she's fine.
(sighs)
Of course.
It's just, you were an early
talker and so was your brother.
I don't know about Georgie.
What are you saying?
My daughter's got
some kind of stupid gene
from her father?
I didn't say that.
But it is interesting
that you jumped to it.
Georgie is very smart
in more of a
workaday manner.
He turns his underwear
inside out
so he can wear 'em an extra day.
He's frugal. There's
nothing wrong with being frugal.
Hmm. Workaday and frugal,
quite a catch.
You are a horrible,
horrible person!
What time we leaving
for the doctor?

Hey.
(shushes)
(quietly):
I miss seeing my girls.
What you doing?
Looking for a place to live.
We're leaving.
What happened now?
It doesn't matter,
I just can't be here anymore.
What'd she say?
It's not important.
Mandy.
It's not important, Georgie,
I just want to leave.
Honey, don't cry.
I'm not.
Dang it.
Georgie, wait.
All right, listen up,
whatever you said to my wife,
it's got to stop
and it's got to stop right now.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
I don't know what
I'm talking about either.
But she's back there crying
and she's wanting to leave.
Whoa, whoa, let's
all calm down.
Audrey, what happened?
No idea.
Amanda came to me
and apologized for being rude.
I accepted.
Then, before I knew it,
she was being rude again.
I'm guessing hormones.
I'm walking away.
If I may, you do have a habit
of slipping in little comments
that can be real hurtful.
Name one.
Oh, let's not go naming things.
How about saying that CeeCee
might be dumb like her dad?
She said that?
She said that.
I never said that!
Hey, you can call me
whatever you want
but you do not
insult my daughter
or accuse my wife
of having hormones.
Start packing,
we're out of here.
(sighs)
You got something to say?
I do.
Well?
I'm not saying it.

Comes with your own
patio furniture,
barbecue, awning.
Nice.
For entertaining.
And this is your
living room, slash, den,
slash, rumpus room.
It's a little cramped.
Only a problem if you don't
like each other.
Well, then that is
not a problem for us.
He's a chipper one, ain't he?
Yeah.
Got a full kitchen, fridge
and there's a laundromat
about half mile
down the road.
Handy.
Bedroom, bathroom,
the end. You want it?
Can you give us a minute?
Okay, but we got a lot of people
circling on this unit.
Do you?
I'll wait out on the veranda.
I know it's not exactly
what we had in mind
We're taking it.
Really?
Yeah. I mean, it sucks,
but it's still better
than living with my mother.
(train horn blares)
(rumbling)
(rumbling stops)
Still better.

Mr. McAllister?
JIM:
Office.
Morning.
Wasn't sure I'd see you today.
Wasn't sure if I was fired.
Course not.
Is Mrs. McAllister
okay with that?
Course not.
But that's my problem.
So, how's the new place?
It ain't much,
but it's ours
and it's temporary.
Well, look at you,
always putting
a positive spin on things.
May be a side effect
of being "dumb."
Yeah, she didn't mean that.
It don't hurt my feelings.
With a brother like Sheldon,
I've been the dumb one
my whole life.
That's gotta be hard.
I like it when people
underestimate me.
Gives me an edge.
You are
really something.
Yes, sir, I am.
Any chance I can
talk you into
moving back
into the house?
I ain't the one
that needs convincing.
Yeah, well, we got
time on the clock.
We'll figure
something out.
Whoa.
What's this about?
Sorry.
Sometimes you
remind me of my dad.
Well, that's that's
quite the compliment.
I didn't really hug him
when I had the chance.
Then come here.
Aw, damn it.
I don't understand
why they don't just
come and live with me.
Maybe they
don't like you.
Oh, ha-ha.
I'm not joking.
Hey, welcome to the
Cooper residence.
MANDY:
Cooper-McAllister.
Hmm. I'm surprised
she put my name first.
Come on in.
Hey.
Hi.
- Hey.
- Hey. Brought you a few things
you might need.
Ooh, toilet paper, new towels.
A toaster? Georgie,
look, we got a toaster.
Oh, it's got
a bagel button.
Thank you.
There's also
a blender here.
You can whip up some baby food.
Or margaritas,
in case
you wanna pretend
this is all good.
Oh.
There's my beautiful girl.
Oh.
Did you
miss your Nana?
I bet you did.
Give me.
I bet you did.
Give me.
I just got her.
I'll give her back!
Thank you.
Mary?
To toast the new house?
I can toast with ginger ale.
Jesus drank wine.
'Cause they didn't
have Schweppes.
I'll have some.
You're not old enough to drink.
I'm old enough
to have a wife, a baby
and a toilet
that doubles as a shower.
He needs a drink.
Thank you.
I hope you know you can always
come live with me.
Oh, thank you,
but it's way past time
for us to be on our own.
Are you sure?
Take a hint.
She doesn't like you.
How about a toast?
To Mandy
and Georgie
and CeeCee,
and their new home,
humble though it be.
(train horn blares)
(rumbling)
6:10 to Lubbock,
right on time.
They'd rather live here
than with you.
Just so you know, I told Georgie
he can
keep his job at the store.
Really?
Yeah, really.
You don't discuss it with me?
Why, I didn't wanna
have an argument.
You didn't wanna
lose an argument.
Same thing.
The fact that
he ruined our daughter's life
doesn't bother you at all?
Hey, credit where
credit is due, okay?
He's a kid.
If anything,
she ruined his life.
Jim!
Would you just admit
you miss having them here?
I do miss my granddaughter.
Well, good luck with that.
I don't see Mandy
bringing her by
for a lot of visits.
She'll come back.
Not till you apologize.
I have nothing to apologize for.
Nothing at all.
Can't think of a single thing.
(loud electronic music playing
in seven-four time)
Well, on the bright side,
we still got our baby boy.
I can dance to that.
(dog barks)
(whispering):
Here I come.
Oh, careful.
Look at me,
I'm Spider-Man.
Hello.
(laughs)
Hi.
Thanks for cooking dinner
for my mom and Meemaw.
It was good to see 'em.
Meemaw tried to slip me money
on the way out.
Sweet. How much?
I didn't take it.
Oh, Georgie.
I got my pride.
Great, we live in a matchbox,
but we got pride.
A matchbox with
a brand-new toaster.
(laughs)
Hey, maybe it's time
I go back to work.
Really?
She's ain't even a year yet.
Yeah, I know that was the plan,
but plans change.
Mandy, I support you
in anything you wanna do,
but I promise,
I'll get us out of here.
How?
Simple, I'll make
a lot of money.
Yeah, but how?
Never giving up.
Like right now?
See, you get it.

Ugh.
Oh, hi.
Hello.
Can I help you?
I want to talk.
You sure? That usually
doesn't go well for us.
I'm sure.
Okay.
Take your shoes off.
Oh, you're kidding.
Come on in.
Go ahead, say it.
I'd rather not.
Where's my granddaughter?
I sold her.
Got a pretty good price.
Amanda.
She's taking a nap.
So, let's talk.
Oh, right to it.
Okay.
I would like you and CeeCee
and Georgie to come back.
Why?
Because
you'll be safer,
more comfortable.
We're pretty
comfortable.
You gonna make me beg?
I'm gonna make you apologize.
I'd rather beg.
Okay, then thanks
for dropping by.
Fine.
(clears throat)
I may have been
less than welcoming,
and, perhaps, a little unfair
to you and Georgie.
And I am very aware
(train horn blares)
(rumbling)
(speaking indistinctly)
I know that moving back
(rumbling continues)
(speaking indistinctly)
(rumbling stops)
Okay?
Sorry, didn't get
that last part.
I'm not saying it again.
Apology accepted.
Help me pack.

You know, Georgie's right,
when you don't
hear people laughing,
it's hard to know what's funny.
I warmed up
a bottle for CeeCee.
Oh, thanks, Mom.
She's so happy you're back
and you're getting along.
It's been one day.
I know, right? It's crazy.
AUDREY (over monitor): Here you go.
GEORGIE: Thank you.
Should we turn it off?
No, no, no, turn it up.
GEORGIE:
Real nice of you
to apologize to Mandy.
I know it meant a lot to her.
AUDREY:
Good, I'm glad.
GEORGIE:
Although, I am the one
you said mean things about.
Oh, Georgie, no.
AUDREY:
Excuse me?
GEORGIE: You implied
the reason CeeCee ain't talking
is 'cause her dad
is some kind of dumbbell.
Mmm. Set of brass ones
on this kid.
(shushes)
AUDREY: I guess I did.
GEORGIE:
So?
AUDREY:
So what?
CEECEE:
Dadda.
GEORGIE:
You hear that?
Who's dumb now?
Mandy, she's talking!
Oh, my God!
GEORGIE:
Hurry, get in here!
I'm coming!
GEORGIE:
You missed it. She said "Dadda."
JIM:
Wow. Smart little girl.
GEORGIE: Well, you know
genius runs in my family.
CEECEE:
Dadda.
