Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage (2024) s01e07 Episode Script

1
I was thinking of taking CeeCee
with me to the mall today.
Oh, that'd be a huge help.
Thanks.
You hear that, sweetheart?
Just you and Grandma.
Wait a minute.
We discussed this.
You're not getting her ears pierced.
Oh, come on. People keep
thinking she's a boy.
I don't care.
She won't remember it.
Yes, she will,
'cause it's the last time
she'll ever see her grandma.
Fine.
While you're there,
I could use some socks.
I'm not going anymore.
Lawn's all mowed,
and the sprinkler's fixed.
I didn't know it was broken.
Wasn't till I ran over it
with the lawn mower.
Hey, what's up with that
old Mustang in the garage?
Ooh, that's a good question, Jim.
- I'm gonna fix it.
- You've been saying that for years.
What's going on?
Dad bought the car at a police auction.
Mom hates it. You're all caught up.
That thing will never run.
Yes, it will.
Oh, please. There's a better
chance I'll see you run.
You know, an old Mustang can be worth
a lot of money if we fix her up.
Yes, fix her, sell her
and give me my garage back.
Hey, do you know anything
about fixing cars?
I didn't know anything about fixing
sprinklers till about ten minutes ago.
What do you think?
Well, it would be fun
to get her running.
I don't know about
selling it, though.
Then we don't.
If you sell it,
I'll give you half.
I think we should sell it.
♪
Carburetor needs
to be rebuilt,
the brakes are gone,
transmission's cracked,
and last I looked, there's a family of rats
living in the radiator.
So all we need is
some elbow grease,
a little bit of cheese,
and she'll be good as new.
I wish I had
your confidence.
I'll loan you some.
I got plenty to spare.
I don't know,
now that I'm looking at it,
maybe the smart play
is just sell it
to a junkyard
and admit defeat.
That sure would make
Mrs. McAllister happy.
She does enjoy being right.
Pop the hood.
Let's have a look.
Now we're talking.
Look at that--
good news already.
- What?
- Your rats are dead.
♪
[coos]
Yeah, a water pump
for the '66 Mustang.
You got one?
Great. I want it.
Well, how much is he paying?
I'll pay 20 more.
I can hold.
[phone rings]
McAllister's.
What? We had a deal.
20 more? Oh, you're just trying
to jack up the price.
Yes, I still want it.
Oh, really?
Well, I'll go another 20.
All right,
enough nickel-and-diming.
50 more,
and that's my final offer.
What kind of idiot's gonna pay
that much for an old water pump?
Fine, let him have it.
Sucker.
Georgie, great news.
I got the water pump.
Sweet. I almost had one,
but the guy tried to rip me off.
Joke's on him.
You're darn right.
Have you seen
that new Friends show?
No.
All they do is drink coffee.
Who can drink
that much coffee?
I don't know.
And their mugs
are like soup bowls.
Is that a New York thing?
Mom, I don't know.
I miss Cosby.
He was a nice family man.
This is gonna be great.
I ain't never rode
in a convertible before.
You know how dogs like to stick
their head out the car window?
It's like that but for people.
Interior's in good shape.
Seats leather?
No, I think it's Naugahyde.
What animal's that from?
I don't know, a a "nauga"?
[door closes]
Hey.
I thought you guys were
out here working.
We are.
This is
the planning stage.
Yeah, very important.
Okay. Well, you need to wash up,
come in for dinner.
Be right in.
I got about a half a bottle
of planning left.
[bottles clink]
They're gonna be a while.
- Drinking?
- Yeah.
Should've never let him
have a fridge out there.
I think it's sweet they have
something to do together.
Your dad always hoped to rebuild
the Mustang with Connor.
Seriously? Dad and Connor?
Go look in the attic.
There's footballs,
baseballs, fishing poles,
bows and arrows.
Your father tried everything.
He did not give up
on your brother.
So what happened?
He gave up.
Well, that's really sad.
Any different than you and me?
Well, we do stuff together.
Like what?
I don't know,
didn't we do a puzzle once?
Well, if we wanted
to do something together,
how about we turn my office
into a room for the baby?
Um, I don't know if I'm ready
for her to sleep
in her own room.
Wouldn't it be nice for you and
Georgie to have some privacy?
CeeCee asleep?
She's fine.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
Slowly take your hand off me.
Come to think of it,
a little privacy might be nice.
You need to tighten the
clamp around the hose,
make sure you
get a good seal.
How tight we talking?
Like a belt.
You don't want your pants to fall down,
but you want to leave room for dessert.
Hello.
Hey. We're installing
a water pump.
Want to join us?
Thank you for the invitation.
Great.
How about that? We're putting
together a pit crew.
That wasn't a yes.
Sure it was.
I'm telling you.
Hang on.
[knocking on door]
[footsteps descending stairs]
I stand corrected.
♪
GEORGIE:
Soft kitty
Warm kitty
Little ball of fur
Happy kitty, sleepy kitty
Purr, purr, purr.
That is so sweet.
I'm trying to get her to sleep
so we can fool around.
Less sweet.
Be patient.
My mom and I are gonna
turn her office
into a nursery.
You're gonna do a project
with your mother?
I'm not saying
there won't be blood.
Well, at least me and your dad
are having fun.
That's good. I'm glad.
You think it bugs Connor
that I'm spending
all this time with your dad?
Wish I could tell you.
Growing up in my family,
nobody really
understood Sheldon.
Sometimes I wish
I tried harder.
Well, he's still your brother.
You can always call him.
Eh.
[discordant electronic music
playing]
That sure ain't Moötley Cruüe.
[music stops]
Yes?
What you doing?
I'm using analog testing
equipment from the '60s
as a makeshift synthesizer.
Cool, cool. Got a minute?
Come on in.
Golly, you got
a lot of stuff.
Thank you.
Ever think of joining a band?
I am a band.
That's deep.
So, listen, me and your
dad are driving to Plano
to pick up a part
for the Mustang.
I was thinking
maybe you'd like to join us.
Did my mother
put you up to this?
No, I just thought a road trip
would be a fun way
for you and me
to get to know each other.
If you don't mind, I prefer
to remain a man of mystery.
Come on, go with us.
What do you say?
Thank you for the invitation.
Hey, I ain't falling for
that again. It's a yes or no.
♪
So, I understand Connor
will be joining you
on your road trip.
- Uh-huh.
- That's nice.
It's something.
Thank you for including him.
Don't thank me.
Thank Georgie.
Oh. [chuckles]
We both know
I won't be doing that.
This nursery deal
with you and Mandy--
whose idea was that?
Mine.
You nervous?
A little. You?
Terrified.
Want to switch?
I go with Connor.
You stay with Amanda.
Oh. [laughs]
[both laughing]
Wait, is that really an option?
[sighs]
♪
Hey, what you doing?
Oh, I picked up
some magazines.
I thought we could look through
them for baby room ideas.
Oh, fun.
Texas Monthly?
That's for
your dad's bathroom reading.
What do you think
about this?
Oh, I like the color.
Not sure about
all the princess stuff.
What's wrong
with princess stuff?
Oh, nothing, it's just,
you know, why can't it be
dinosaurs or astronauts?
Well, it can,
if you want her to be a tomboy.
Dinosaurs do not
make tomboys.
I'm just saying that
she can be anything.
Except a princess.
Okay, why don't we just
start with a color?
What about yellow?
Yellow's good,
I love yellow.
Terrific.
Are sunflowers
too feminine for you?
Sunflowers are fine.
See, we can do this.
Now, where do
we stand on unicorns?
Kind of phallic, isn't it?
Oh, get your mind
out of the gutter.
Yeah, we can keep looking.
All right, got all
the road trip supplies we need.
Jerky, map,
bottle for peeing.
You realize we can pull over?
Yeah, but where's
the challenge in that?
I brought some music.
Oh, let's fire it up.
Of course.
It's fine, he's having fun.
Yeah, whatever you say.
Pass the jerky!
♪
[sighs] Hate to say it,
but I'm a little nervous
about CeeCee
sleeping all alone.
Oh, she'llbe fine.
Well, what about me?
It's a big change for me.
I understand.
I cried the first night
you spent in your own room.
You did not.
Of course I did.
You were
my precious little baby.
Aw.
Then you started talking
and ruined everything.
[sarcastically]:
Aw.
Hey, here's a thought.
I've seen this wallpaper
that looks like books
on a bookshelf.
How about we
turn the nursery
into an
enchanted library?
Oh, I like it. We can hang
twinkle lights and make it magical.
Oh, it'll inspire CeeCee
to have a love of reading
and learning and
and staying in school.
"Staying in school?"
Is that a bad thing?
Go ahead, just say it.
Say what?
Unlike her father.
I just want her
to achieve all her dreams.
Unlike her mother.
Well, since you brought it up,
you always wanted to be
a TV news reporter and instead--
Instead I'm a waitress.
Isn't it nice how we can
finish each other's sentences?
♪
[humming]
Lives in his own world,
don't he?
Yep.
Seems like a happy world.
I guess.
Your world, on the other hand,
a little tense.
It's complicated.
Which part?
Part where his mother and I
are gonna be gone someday
and I don't know
what happens to him.
I'm sure he'll find his way.
Yeah, you might be that way.
What's that mean?
He might be
living over your garage.
Oh.
Well, CeeCee'll have
a fun uncle to play with.
Think Mandy's gonna
be okay with that?
Oh.
Well, you and Mrs. McAllister
are gonna live a long, long life.
Yeah, I'll do my best.
Hey, Connor.
Connor.
Yes?
Me and your dad are up here
talking about the future,
and I was wondering where
you see yourself in ten, 20 years?
Let me guess, my father thinks
I'll never amount to anything.
- I-I didn't say that.
- He didn't.
Did he say something
like that?
That he did, yes.
Georgie.
I don't want to lie to him.
[sighs]
You want the truth?
You're 26 years old,
you live over the garage,
you ain't never had a job.
Sorry I make you angry.
I'm not angry.
I'm scared.
[sighs]
A lot to think about.
Heavy stuff.
Yep.
♪
Can I come in?
It's your house.
Amanda.
Come on in.
I remember when
you were in high school
and hung up
those beads.
Yeah, you hated them.
Yes, but it was your room
and I gave you the freedom
to decorate as you saw fit.
You said
it looked like an opium den.
Maybe I meant it
as a compliment?
What do you want, Mom?
[sighs]
I want to apologize.
Okay. Accepted. Go away.
Amanda,
you have
so much potential,
it's just hard
for me to see you stuck.
[scoffs] I'm not stuck.
You're living in
your childhood bedroom,
working a dead-end job.
It's temporary.
That's what I told myself
when I gave up on my dream.
To be the Wicked Witch
of the West?
I'm trying to mend fences here.
- Okay.
- Come on.
I never expected
my whole life
to be in Medford.
Well, where did you
think it would be?
I thought I'd live
in Washington
and be chief of staff
for Lyndon Johnson.
Really? You were a Democrat?
I was young once, too, Amanda.
But I got married,
and your father
opened his tire store
and life just happened.
Yeah, well, life kind of
happened to me, too.
Or did Georgie
happen to you?
Stop blaming Georgie.
It's my fault, too.
Fine, I blame both of you.
Thank you.
All I want is for you to have
the things in life I never got.
I know.
I'm sure having me and Connor
didn't help with your dreams.
You were my firstborn.
It was mostly you.
[indistinct chatter]
This road trip's
feeling like a bust.
I've been on worse.
Than this?
Oh, yeah.
Once, my dad took me and Sheldon
to Florida to see the space shuttle launch.
Oh, I always wanted to see that.
Me, too. It got rained out.
Spent the whole time
in a motel room
listening to Sheldon complain.
You know, I can't imagine
what it must've been like
for you to grow up
with a brother like that.
No, what I'm most proud of
is how many times I kept
his sister from killing him.
[chuckles]
Connor's been in
the bathroom a long time.
Should I check on him?
You go ahead, I'll settle up.
Found him.
What the hell?
You folks done here?
What are you doing?
You're scared I don't have a job.
I saw a help wanted sign,
I got a job.
Congratulations.
No congratulations.
Take that stuff off
and let's go home.
Shouldn't I give them
two weeks' notice?
Just get in the truck.
Everything I do
makes him mad.
He's just
worried about you.
I worry
about me, too.
Yeah, well,
I got a feeling
everything's gonna
work out for you.
How would you know?
It's just a feeling.
Thank you.
Let's go home.
Should I punch out?
I think
you'll be okay.
Maybe lose
the apron.
♪
Hello,
we're back.
Hi, how was your trip?
Not good.
Dad and I fought a lot.
Well, your sister and I didn't
have the best day, either.
[chuckles] Those two, huh?
Sure glad Georgie was there.
That was a good thing?
Yes, he's a great person.
