Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage (2024) s01e05 Episode Script
Thanksgiving
1
#
Want some hand lotion?
How many times I got to say no?
Men can take care
of their skin, too.
Yeah, men in California.
We have got to get you
on a plane one of these days.
I was thinking, maybe we can
spend Thanksgiving at my mom's.
You know, it's the first one
since my dad passed.
Of course.
- You're the best.
- I know.
So, who's gonna tell your mom?
I'm sure when we're not there
she'll figure it out.
Want to rock-paper-scissors
for it?
Or you tell her
and I won't squirt you.
You wouldn't dare.
You're gonna smell so pretty.
- Get that away from me.
- Come here!
Come here!
No. Baby.
#
- Morning.
- Morning.
Good morning.
Mrs. McAllister, I was hoping
to talk to you about Thanksgiving.
Well, sure.
I really think me, Mandy and CeeCee
need to spend it at my mom's.
This is the first Thanksgiving
since your dad passed.
Of course you should.
Oh. Thank you.
That's a relief.
Why?
Why what?
Why would you think that
I would be upset that
you want to spend Thanksgiving
with your grieving mother?
Well
What kind of monster
do you think I am?
Um
JIM: Georgie, let's go.
We got to get to work.
Got to go. Thanks again.
[hushed]:
You saved my butt.
Keep moving. Keep moving.
#
[coos]
#
Hey. This is a nice surprise.
Just wanted to drop off
some of CeeCee's old clothes
for the donation room.
Oh.
Are you sure you don't want
to hang on to these
in case you have
another one?
Oh, we ain't planning
on another one just yet.
You weren't planning
on the first one, either.
Fair point.
While I'm here, I wanted to let you know
we're gonna come to
your place for Thanksgiving.
Oh.
I'm not doing Thanksgiving
this year.
What are you talking about?
Well, Sheldon's in school,
and Missy got invited to a friend's.
Well, she can't go.
It's Thanksgiving.
I already told her she could.
And to be perfectly honest,
I don't feel like celebrating.
But this was
Dad's favorite holiday.
I know, and doing it without him
would just be too hard.
Fine. Then come have dinner
at the McAllisters'.
With your mother-in-law?
Not for a million dollars.
Oh, come on.
She's not a monster.
Come on.
No.
Fine. I didn't want to do this,
but as the man of the house,
I'm putting my foot down.
You're coming.
I have a foot of my own.
Would you like to know
where I'm gonna put it?
No, ma'am.
All right, then.
All right, then.
Maybe next year,
we can take CeeCee
to the Macy's Parade.
[gasps]
You're not taking my
granddaughter to New York City.
She'll come back a Democrat.
She's a baby.
A God-fearing, Republican baby.
Sorry I'm late.
Hey. How'd it go?
She don't want
to do Thanksgiving.
What do you mean,
like she doesn't want to cook?
She don't want to do it at all.
May I interject?
What?
I'm considering getting a cat.
Connor, not now.
Let me know when.
She knows
she's welcome here, right?
She just wants to sit home
by herself.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know. I hate the thought
of her being all alone.
Now?
Fine.
You're never alone
if you have a cat.
#
Oh, come on, Missy.
If you come, Mom has to.
Why are you making this
such a big deal?
It's a big deal 'cause we're
gonna be together as a family.
Is Sheldon coming?
We're gonna mostly
be together as a family.
MISSY:
Well, I've made other plans.
[sighs] Please.
Mom needs this.
Mom needs a lobotomy.
All right, I'm done asking.
I'm telling you you're coming.
[click, dial tone]
So, is she coming?
That's not funny.
[chuckles] Sorry.
Here, let me try.
Yeah, sure. Why not?
Hey, Missy, it's Mandy.
About Thanksgiving
[click, dial tone]
Mm-hmm. Hurts, don't it?
Sweet of Georgie to worry
so much about his mom.
It is.
I hope our kids worry about me
when I'm a widow.
What makes you think
I'm gonna go first?
Jim.
Fine.
And of course
they're gonna worry about you.
I'm not so sure.
Amanda's likely to
stick me in a home
first chance she gets.
On the bright side, Connor
will probably be your roommate.
Very funny.
Hope you like cats.
#
Hey. What are you doing here?
I thought I'd bring Georgie
some lunch, slice of pie.
He's on a tow truck run.
Oh, shoot.
What kind of pie?
Why?
Oh, I was just curious.
It's pecan, his favorite.
I was hoping to cheer him up.
Yeah, he has been
a little moody lately.
Kind of snapped on a customer.
What happened?
Well, they wished
him a happy Thanksgiving,
and he said, "Whatever."
Ooh, for him, that's bad.
Yeah, it was hard to watch.
Well, this is his first
Thanksgiving without his dad.
Sure, that's rough.
George was a good man.
Sure was.
You know, I thought
we'd be celebrating
Thanksgivings together
for a long time.
Me, too.
But, uh [sniffles]
guess you never know
what the future holds.
Makes you appreciate
what you do have.
We're really lucky.
[voice shaking]:
We sure are.
Don't you go anywhere.
Oh, I won't, baby girl.
MANDY:
You better not.
[sighs] I should go.
[sniffles] All right.
Well, thanks for stopping by.
Don't eat
Georgie's lunch.
I am hungry, but I won't.
#
So, how's it going?
My little great-granddaughter
saying "meemaw" yet?
No, just "dada."
Pisses me off.
Uh, enjoy it.
My kid doesn't even talk
to me anymore.
Why bring it up?
It's called making conversation.
What about you?
How you doing?
I'm all right.
I'm a little worried
about your grandson.
Oh. Is this
about Thanksgiving?
Well, you just got
to give Mary time.
When my husband died,
I was just miserable
those first few holidays.
Maybe he died
because you're miserable.
It's a big house.
Go somewhere else.
Good day.
Um, so here's the thing.
Georgie's going through
a rough time,
and I want to help.
What can I do?
Well, it would mean a lot to him
if you could be with us for Thanksgiving.
[sighs]:
Oh, honey, I am so sorry.
I promised Dale
I'd go camping with him.
Oh, that's okay. It's all right.
Just let me talk to Dale.
We're not
going camping!
I was gone 20 seconds.
What the hell happened?
We're having Thanksgiving
with Georgie.
I've been looking forward
to this for months.
Oh, I know, honey.
I have, too.
What time you want us?
#
Your meemaw and Dale are coming.
I just think it would mean a lot to
your brother if you could be there.
Okay.
Really? Thank you.
But first,
I need a little favor.
- Anything.
- Take me to get a tattoo.
What? No.
You said, "Anything."
Yeah, and then you said
"tattoo."
I guess I'm not going.
Oh, come on.
I can't decide between
a dolphin or a sunflower.
What do you think?
I am not taking you
to get a tattoo.
All right, well,
maybe I'll see you at Christmas.
- Ow, it hurts.
- Good.
Hey, Mary.
What brings you by?
Just wanted to talk.
If this is about Thanksgiving,
I'm not changing my mind.
Well, your mom and Missy
are coming.
I don't care.
Look, I understand, I really do.
I-I just think
You do not understand.
You do not know what it's
like to lose a husband.
I don't, um,
but Georgie's struggling, too,
and I think it would be great
Well, I'm sorry if I'm
disappointing everyone,
but this is what I need.
And for once,
I am putting myself first.
Okay. Sorry.
#
Hey, I hope it's okay
I invited Missy,
Georgie's meemaw, and her fella
Dale to Thanksgiving.
Her fella?
Her beau?
I don't know what to call
old people who are doing it.
I've seen him.
They're not doing it much.
It's fine,
the more the merrier.
Okay.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
And don't think you're
sticking me in a home someday.
I'm dying in this house.
What?
You heard me.
What was that about?
I-I don't know.
So, good news, your family's
coming to Thanksgiving.
Really? Everyone?
Well, Meemaw, Dale and Missy.
Oh, still no on my mom?
Um, I tried, but
It's okay, this is great.
Thank you.
How'd you convince my sister?
I ju-- I just asked nicely.
That don't sound right.
Well, what can I say?
The kid loves me.
#
Go easy, Jim.
My second one.
It's 10:00 in the morning.
Well, I'd put it back,
but it's already open.
- Table's all set.
- Thank you.
Anything else I can do?
We're good for now.
Ooh, what's this?
Well, that's cranberry sauce.
Why ain't it shaped
like the can?
It's homemade.
Huh.
Maybe next year we should
spring for the good stuff.
Smells delicious, Mom.
Thank you, honey.
Why you all dressed up?
I was told to look nice
for company.
That meant take a shower.
Oh.
Be right back.
[doorbell rings]
Hey,
happy Thanksgiving.
- Come on in.
- Happy Thanksgiving.
- Happy Thanksgiving.
- Gimme.
There you go.
[Mandy and Meemaw laugh]
Forget the turkey,
I'm gonna gobble you up.
I won't be eating
any children.
Thank y'all so much
for coming.
- You bet.
- I had no choice.
Good call on the socks.
I'm not stupid.
That beer for you?
No, ma'am, Mr. McAllister.
Another one?
Uh, I haven't been
keeping count.
Well, you let him know I am.
Or you let him know and I'll stay
here and mash them potatoes.
Tell him.
[sports commentary playing on TV]
I hope it wasn't
too much trouble
adding a bunch of people
at the last minute.
No problem at all.
Audrey loves this.
Does she need any help?
I have no idea.
So, Dale
when are you two kids
gonna make it official?
I've asked repeatedly.
We don't need
to get married.
We're fine just as we are.
No, she's hoping somebody
better comes along.
Don't you want
the best for me?
Okay, CeeCee's napping.
What'd I miss?
She don't want
to marry me.
I really appreciate
you coming.
Well, I knew how important
it was to you.
What'd she bribe you with?
Nothing. She just asked nicely.
You're a lying sack
of you-know-what.
Welcome, everyone.
As a special surprise,
I have composed
a Thanksgiving polka for
accordion and turkey call.
[playing slowly]
[playing rapidly]
#
[turkey call warbling]
[playing accordion]
[warbling]
You stay right there,
I got my guitar in the trunk.
No.
[doorbell rings]
Mom?
I hope it's okay
I just dropped by.
Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
Come on in.
Hey, look who came!
[indistinct chatter]
I can't believe you
got 'em all here.
Well, what can I say?
You knocked up
a pretty special lady.
You sure made your son happy today.
I'm glad.
I thought you
were going camping.
So did Dale.
What?
Just eat.
Okay.
- Where you going?
- To get another beer.
Excuse me.
Oh, boy.
Here comes one of our
Thanksgiving traditions.
Put that back,
you've had enough.
It's a holiday, I'm celebrating.
You're embarrassing yourself
is what you're doing.
JIM:
I'm having a good time!
Maybe you need a drink.
AUDREY: I have been up
since the crack of dawn
putting this thing together.
You are not gonna ruin it.
JIM: Oh, I'm not
"rooning" anything.
R-Roonin
Ru-in-ing.
AUDREY:Oh, my God,
listen to yourself.
JIM: Eh, I'd rather
listen to me than you.
Mom, can I get you
anything else?
I'm sorry, I have to go.
AUDREY:
Keep your voice down.
Mary.
Dang.
JIM: It's my house, I will talk
as lo-- as loud as I please.
Where you going?
I'm sorry, I can't do this.
Don't mind them,
they argue all the time.
It's not them.
Then what?
I
Tell me.
[sighs]
[chuckles softly]
Your father and I used to argue
about him getting drunk
on Thanksgiving, and
I'll never get to do that again.
You miss arguing with Dad?
Yes.
Mom
[crying]
I'm going home.
Please tell everybody
I'm sorry.
No, wait.
I got a better idea.
This is nice.
[chuckles]
It is.
Yeah, not creepy at all.
What the heck is that?!
I fell into
a burning ring of fire ♪
# I went down, down, down
# And the flames went higher
# And it burns, burns, burns
Ouch!
# That ring of fire
That ring
of fire ♪
Still better than camping.
Everybody.
ALL: # I fell into a burning ring of fire #
Huh?
# Went down, down, down
# And the flames get higher
Come on, Jim!
# Burns, burns
# That ring of fire
# That ring of fire
[turkey call warbles]

Want some hand lotion?

Men can take care
of their skin, too.
Yeah, men in California.

she'll figure it out.
Want to rock-paper-scissors
for it?
Or you tell her
and I won't squirt you.
You wouldn't dare.
You're gonna smell so pretty.
- Get that away from me.
- Come here!
Come here!
No. Baby.

You're not taking my

She's a baby.
A God-fearing, Republican baby.
Sorry I'm late.
Hey. How'd it go?
She don't want

AUDREY: I have been up
since the crack of dawn
putting this thing together.
You are not gonna ruin it.
JIM: Oh, I'm not
"rooning" anything.
R-Roonin
Ru-in-ing.
AUDREY:Oh, my God,
listen to yourself.
JIM: Eh, I'd rather
listen to me than you.
Mom, can I get you
anything else?
I'm sorry, I have to go.
AUDREY:
Keep your voice down.
Mary.
Dang.
JIM: It's my house, I will talk
as lo-- as loud as I please.
Where you going?
I'm sorry, I can't do this.
Don't mind them,
they argue all the time.
It's not them.
Then what?
I
Tell me.
[sighs]
[chuckles softly]
Your father and I used to argue
about him getting drunk
on Thanksgiving, and
I'll never get to do that again.
You miss arguing with Dad?
Yes.
Mom
[crying]
I'm going home.
Please tell everybody
I'm sorry.
No, wait.
I got a better idea.
This is nice.
[chuckles]
It is.
Yeah, not creepy at all.
What the heck is that?!
I fell into
a burning ring of fire ♪
# I went down, down, down
# And the flames went higher
# And it burns, burns, burns
Ouch!
# That ring of fire
That ring
of fire ♪
Still better than camping.
Everybody.
ALL: # I fell into a burning ring of fire #
Huh?
# Went down, down, down
# And the flames get higher
Come on, Jim!
# Burns, burns
# That ring of fire
# That ring of fire
