I hope we can be friends again some day.
You did the right thing breaking up with Oliver.
You deserve better.
We'll have to keep talking.
I've been wanting to spend a little quality time with you.
You said that you trusted me, and I have feelings for someone else.
You don't want to be here.
I do.
I can't just run away.
He is my family.
Go home to yours.

wild.
s01e12 Danny, eggs are getting cold.
Well, I was supposed to be at Umkhulu's farm 15 minutes ago.
Staring at the road isn't gonna make him show up any faster.
Well, it's about time.
So, you guys, what do you want, uh, turkey, ham and cheese, left over boerwors? Jo, Hmm? you're supposed to want them to eat lunch.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
How about a PB&J? You guys can't live on PB&Js alone.
How about peanut butter today and jelly tomorrow? Hey! Where you been? A few miles south of it's none of your business.
Jesse Can I go? No, you can't go.
Not until you tell us what's going on with you.
I mean, come on, you take my car, you don't ask permission Hey, I'm still talking to you.
He's upset.
I'm upset.
I mean, did we just go back in time? You know what this reminds me of? Old times, old, angry, surly times.
He's had his heart broken and he wants to be alone.
And he's he's hurting.
Danny, it needs gas.
Yeah, he seems like he's in a lot of pain.
I expect papers Monday, no excuses.
Ugh, there go my big weekend plans.
You had big weekend plans? No.
But if I did So, what are you and Shoki doing this weekend? Shoki and I broke up.
Oh.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Well, we both felt we were better as friends than boyfriend - girlfriend.
You know, I've lost some really good friendships to the whole dating thing.
The relationship ends and you never get the friendship back quite where it was.
It's not worth it.
So what are you doing this weekend? Um, uh Emily and I have, uh, plans.
See ya.
Art, what is this? Suggestion box.
Yeah.
Uh, you said that you would check this every week.
We have gum wrappers.
We have orange peels.
And I do believe this is the last to-do list that I gave you.
That's where I put things I'm never going to look at again.
Suggestion boxes are a bad idea.
It's a license to complain.
It gives the guests the idea we care what they think.
"The safari driver called me 'stupid.
'" You know how I get when they want to see tigers.
Tigers.
There are no tigers in Africa.
Yes, you've made that crystal clear, especially to the eight- year-old who burst into tears in the game drive.
Art, we have to adjust your attitude.
And When I take guests out, they hold me responsible for the looks, behavior and smells of all the animals that live in Africa.
You can't imagine what it's like doing what I do.
I can't? No.
You make scones.
Everybody loves the person who gives them a cookies.
I do a lot more than that.
I run a business and a family.
So, at makes me a cook, tutor, chauffeur, policewoman.
I wish that all i had to do all day everyday was drive people around and say the same things about the same animals.
Well, I wish that all I had to do was make beds and tea, and be nice to strange people.
The fact is, you wouldn't last a day doing what I do.
Well, you wouldn't last an hour doing what I do.
You want to swap jobs? See who makes it the longest? Bring it on.
Hey, um, can I talk to you real quick? It's kind of important.
Yeah, sure.
See ya.
Um so Tumelo and Shoki broke up.
And this is a big deal how? Well, I think he wants to ask me out and I don't know what to do.
Well, do you like him like that? He's my best friend.
I can't date my best friend.
Oh, What if I get hurt? Then the one person I want to talk to about it I can't, because he's not my best friend anymore, he's my boyfriend.
Wow, you have really thought about this.
So, I guess that's a no to liking him.
Yeah.
I mean no.
Wait, what? Oh, hey.
See? I've completely lost Oliver as a friend.
Okay, so, here's what you do.
You're both single, right? Mm-hmm.
Which means he's available to ask you out, and you're available to be asked.
Yeah, I understand what single means.
Yeah, but do you understand what not being single means? It means you have to get a new boyfriend and he has to get a new girlfriend.
That way you two guys can stay friends and there will be no threat.
Have you got a better idea? Come on, come on, big boy.
Good boy.
Just move him over here.
Just right in here.
Get the trunk up.
Trunk up, good boy.
Good boy, good boy.
All right, let's see, trunk up.
There you go.
Oh, yeah, that's good.
Good boy.
What? I'm going to be right back, okay.
Good, yeah, good boy.
Art, what's going on here? Can you help her with the bags? They're kind of heavy.
Tell him, Jo.
I got it.
No, baby, I can help you with these.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
I have no problem with those myself.
Thank you, Danny, but I do, I have it.
Could somebody please tell me what's going on here? Art seems to think that his job is harder than mine.
Because it is.
So we're swapping to see who lasts the longest.
Will you two please grow up.
Let me help you with that.
Please don't undermine this noble experiment.
Lemonade? Hey.
Where were you driving to this morning? If you're going to steal my dad's car, you might want to figure out if he needs it first.
Thanks for the advice.
You can't go to class without your uniform on.
You'll get detention.
I got a free period.
I'm going to go to the library.
You're going to burn it down? And you need your uniform for the library as well so What's going on? Look, I don't have time for this.
I got a quiz I got to study for fifth period.
Algebra? I'm in that class with you.
There's no quiz.
Mrs.
Sommers made it seem like there might be a pop quiz.
I don't remember that.
Well, maybe you should pay more attention in class.
Sorry I'm late.
I was about to leave.
Yeah? Oh, we should get you back to school.
I'll just cut class.
Mafika's expecting me.
I'm not going to get you kicked out of school.
What? I hate that you go home to his house.
Our house, Jesse.
And it's just until I can figure things out.
Look, do you know how confused I am? I've never done anything like this before.
Neither have I.
Look I just want to be able to be with you.
And hold your hand out in the open.
And I can't believe I just said that.
I Let's go.
Hey.
Hey.
Do you Oh, no, I'm not eating.
Um, so I have a plan.
A plan? Yeah.
We're fresh off breakups, and it can be a a dark time, and a lonely, sad, and scary time.
Wh-wh-what what are you talking about? I think we need to jump back in the game.
Get our feet wet, you know? Excuse me? We could spend the next six months pining over our lost relationships, or Or, what? Or, well, there are plenty of fish in the sea.
We could find two new people to go out with- say, Saturday- and I'll have your back, and you'll have mine.
I I don't, I don't know, Katie.
It just, this sounds a little Come on.
It'll be fun.
We'll do it together.
Okay.
Go or you'll be late.
Yeah, when will I see you again? Go before someone sees us.
Mm! Go! ????Oh, oh here she goes Can I help you guys with that? Nope.
Everything is under control.
Thank you, Lucas.
.
Oh, man.
That ostrich needs a bath, huh? Although I think I'm smelling a little bit more than just ostrich here.
I'm picking up sweat with just a hint of guano.
That's the smell of honest work and the great outdoors.
I'm very proud of you, sweetie.
Oh, hey, Mulepo.
Uh too tall.
All right.
Uh, Palisa.
Too happy.
Raven? Uh, no.
Oh, Serena.
She is smart, and she is not too tall or too happy or you know, suicidal.
She's perfect.
Oh, come on, you have to choose someone.
I already chose my guy.
Brad? What's wrong with Brad? You'll see.
All right, you know what? As your friend, I am making the executive decision that Serena is your date.
Me first.
Hi, Brad.
Can I ask you something? Okay.
Uh how about lunch Saturday Ant's Hill? See you there? Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, I got my date.
Your turn.
Look, there's no guarantee she's going to say yes.
Oh, ye of little faith.
"Ye"? Quit stalling.
Uh hi.
Tumelo.
Um look, I'm sure you're busy, but if ou wt, we can go to Ant's Hill tomorrow and just hang out.
I have been waiting for you to ask me out since the fifth grade.
You have? Oh, my God, have I ever.
I can't tell you how many times I imagined this very moment.
Really? You didn't know? I thought it was so obvious.
I'd love to go out with you.
Hmm.
What's all this, then? It's the good life.
I'm just doing what I see you do every afternoon.
Of course, I have not tried to burp the alphabet with Chase yet, but Well, if you'll excuse me, I have a busy night of hostessing ahead of me, so, uh, if you'll allow me to check my makeup.
Did you remember to pay the laundry service? I did, and I checked the Web site for new reservations.
Well, I guess all that's left to do is to make dinner.
No worries.
I was cooking for decades before you put your first Lean Cuisine in the microwave.
Of course, you remembered to do the shopping for dinner.
My little Lean Cuisines really just don't go that far.
Mm I miss you, too.
Yeah.
Well, you just tell me when, and I'll be there.
Go away, I'm busy.
Did you not hear me? I'll call you back.
Yeah.
Jesse.
What? Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about? I saw you today.
At school with Mbali.
Jesse, what are you thinking? Look, Mbali wants to leave Mafika.
She's just scared.
Jesse, you're in way over your head.
Katie, just stay out of it, okay? Carter, Riley, look.
A zebra.
Cool.
What type of zebra are they? What type? They're, uh, they're midsized.
A midsized zebra? Is it a Cape Mountain zebra or a Burchell's zebra? I was reading that Burchell's have shadow stripes, so Whoa, whoa, Carter, don't you ever play video games I'm Riley.
Oh, sorry, Riley.
Pretty though.
Baby.
Look at the baby.
Very nice.
That is very cute.
Look, look, look, it's a rhino! Be quiet.
Loud noises can really freak these things out.
Huge.
Wow.
Cool.
Is it a white rhino or is it? It's a black rhino.
It might be a white rhino.
Oh, great! Thank you.
Perfectly normal.
It's all good.
What's that? What do you mean "What's that?" That is uh, tonight's special.
Done with work? Yeah.
If you're looking for Katie, she's not here.
Man, and I-I really wanted to talk to her.
If you're gonna hang around my kitchen, why don't you make yourself useful? Something on your mind? Well, n-not really.
I don't know.
Well, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be on a date or something? You know, when I was 16, I was juggling a whole pack of fillies.
What's wrong with you? Nothing.
I- I do have a date tomorrow.
You don't seem very excited.
What's the matter, she ugly? No, no.
No, it's just she's not the one I want to be with.
I've gotten myself into this ridiculous situation that I do not know how to get out of Oh, come on, get to the point, It's just I'm-I'm afraid if I tell the one I like how I feel and she turns me down, I'll lose my best friend.
Well, that's easy.
Ask her out.
Look at the end of the day, men and women can't be friends.
It's completely wrong, it's against the natural order of things.
Well, that's not true.
Well, then, don't ask her out on a date.
What do I care? I'm busy.
And stop that crying.
Thank you, that was delicious.
My pleasure.
Compliments to the chef.
I'll be sure to pass that on.
And enjoy the rest of your stay.
Where did you learn the word "cassoulet, " let alone how to make it? I got the word "cassoulet" from Katie's thesaurus when I looked up the word for "beef hash.
" Hmm.
That is baked beans, ketchup, those little sausages that come in cans, the broth from chicken noodle soup, and for a touch of class, the parsley that hadn't turned to liquid on the top.
Well, you squeaked by this time.
Squeaked by? I got "compliments to the chef" without even breaking out in a sweat.
Lady, you have no idea what you're in for.
Yeah, right.
Mom, can you help me with my homework? Oh, I'm sorry, but Art is your parental figure for the night.
Ew.
Mm-hmm.
I was a scholar once.
What grade are you in? Fifth.
I think I passed that one.
Let's take a look.
Hey.
Hey.
You look nice.
Yeah, so do you.
Okay, so just in case this is the worst idea of my life, we go to the escape plan.
Escape plan? Yeah.
What happens is, if either of us are having a bad time, then we excuse ourselves to go to the bathroom, and then we call the other one using the code word "help.
" And then the other one calls the other one back, pretending there's an emergency, got it? Uh, I think.
Okay.
Well, you ready? Yeah.
Luck.
.
Luck Okay.
Hey, thanks for picking up the shift.
I've been loading all my own ice here.
Yeah, no problem.
Where's Mbali? She's with Mafika and her parents.
Parents? They're here? Yup.
I mean, um, don't they live in Namibia? They came down to help out with the wedding.
I think they're meeting with the pastor this evening.
Mafika says they may have the reception here.
My brother's band might play.
Hey, you should ask to work it, eh? You could make some good tips.
Uh, when is this wedding? Next month, I think.
Ask them yourself.
You're getting married next month? I didn't know how to tell you.
Mafika flew my parents in yesterday as a surprise, and he also told me that he's moving up the wedding.
So, did you tell him that you don't want that? I will soon.
It's just that my parents are so happy, and Mafika's really pushing for this.
How did everything get so complicated? It's not complicated.
If you don't want to marry someone, you don't marry them.
But you're out there planning a wedding.
You're not going to leave him, are you? Jesse You lied to me.
I didn't lie to you.
I care about you.
I just don't want to hurt Mafika, and I don't want to shame my parents.
I know I'm still in school.
I know I-I still live at home with my parents.
I know that I know the odds are against us, but sometimes when you do something, you got to do it for you.
Look, let's just talk about this tomorrow.
No, I can't.
I mean, this-this is torture.
I have to end this.
This is bad for me.
But maybe you need to ask yourself why you're not breaking off a relationship that's bad for you.
Jesse And sometimes I like to change it up.
If I do abs Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I'll concentrate on leg work Tuesday and Thursday, so that way, both areas are getting the same amount of time.
Oh, no, your-your abs get more time than your legs.
Your abs get three days, and your legs only get two.
No way! You're right.
That's crazy.
No wonder my six-pack is so tight.
So, Brad, is there anything else you like to do? Well, on the weekends, I like to work with free weights.
Hey, I didn't know you were working today.
What's up? Jesse? Are you okay? Yeah.
Um, Ntatu? Yeah? Why hasn't the kitchen been cleaned since last night? What makes you think I'm supposed to clean it? The fact that you're the housekeeper.
First of all, I will have you know that I'm in the Blue Antelope Executive Training Program.
The what? You know very well Jo is training me to help out at the lodge.
And second, I clean the guest rooms.
Jo takes care of the common areas.
What am I supposed to do? Sponges are under the sink, and start with the dishes.
The guests are complaining that there are no clean coffee cups, okay? And by the way, all the guests are supposed to get two mints.
I was hungry.
Some idiot forgot to buy food.
This is so nice.
After all of these years of knowing each other.
What are you doing for break? Uh, well, I hadn't really I was thinking, you should come to the coast with my family.
I just know they're going to love you, and you're going to love them.
Plus, I was thinking, for the spring formal, we could host an after-party.
Oh.
Um I've always thought we'd make the cutest couple.
Hey, promise you won't think I'm some crazy stalker chick, but I have something very special to show you.
You Photoshopped a picture of us? Guilty.
Cute, right? Y- Yeah, this is, um Wow.
So, you're good with computers.
There is a certain sense of accomplishment.
We're home! So what's for lunch? Yeah, I'm starved.
Do you like mints? You having a bad date? Painful.
You? I want to stick a fork in my eye.
She is nuts.
Well, he is so in love with himself, I don't even think he knows I'm gone.
What are we going to do? You're kidding! I love working out.
I can tell.
What's your favorite form of cardio? Um, oh my gosh Uh, look at the time.
Um, I-I think I was supposed to do something for my mother.
Oh, shoot, and I I forgot I'm suppose I'm actually supposed to do, um, something, as well.
Maybe Brad could take me home.
Great! Well, I mean if you want to stay Oh you know what? Tumelo could just take me home, so Fantastic.
Hey.
I brought your truck back.
I'm not here about the truck.
What? I'm worried about you, Jesse.
Right.
I am.
I can tell that you're hurting.
Oh, can you? You know, it might help if you talk to somebody about all this.
Danny, you can't help me.
Try me.
Why should I? 'Cause I'm your stepfather.
this is all your fault.
What is? If you'd never dragged us here, I ver would have met her.
Maybe.
Maybe you're right.
Africa was supposed to be your big grand scheme to blend us like some mad scientist in a laboratory, but you-you never asked us if we wanted to be blended.
I never wanted to be blended.
I never wanted you in my life.
Never wanted any of this.
I hate this place.
I hate Africa.
And you know what? I hate you.
You don't mean that.
They are going to get married.
Oh.
I guarantee it.
If only life were that simple.
It's because they're simple.
Uh, hey, um, it's still early.
Do you want to hang out? Okay.
What do you have in mind? How about a concert? Cool.
Who's playing? Come on.
You know, I can't believe how much they hurt.
It's like I've been washing the dishes in acid.
Mom uses the moisturizer Danny puts on cow udders.
I wonder if she keeps it in her medicine cabinet.
I've been mucking out stables all day.
I don't know how much longer I can do this.
I am fried.
You look terrible.
You ready to give up? I feel great.
And remind me, was your hair always that white? Guysplease, don't you think this noble experiment has gone on long enough? I mean, really, you've both proven yourselves to be very capable, but, you know what, there is a learning curve.
There was a bottle cap in my oatmeal this morning.
Someone told me they saw a chupacabra on the game drive.
And Chase failed his math test because Art wrote a note to his teacher saying, "No, thanks, he won't be needing algebra later in life.
" And who's going to trust a vet whose shirts have all rned pink in the wash? I've told you before, I think you're man enough to pull it off.
I am begging you, end the madness.
What you both do is valuable to me, to the family, to our guests.
Can you both please, please, just admit that it's valuable to each other? This is fun, but I must go and cut the crust off of tea sandwiches.
I have some hay bales to unload.
Can't wait.
No, guys.
Children.
Yeah.
There's a concert here? Every Saturday, right about this time.
They're a church group.
Looks like they're getting ready for a baptism.
This is so beautiful.
I thought you might like it.
That was the most amazing music I have ever heard.
I'm glad you liked it.
I loved it.
Well, then.
Um Um, yeah, so, I'll see you tomorrow? Okay.
Yeah.
Hey.
So, um, what happened today at Ant's Hill? It doesn't matter anymore.
It looks like it matters.
Do you anyone else to talk to about it? I didn't think so.
Well you can talk to me.
And I'll do my best not to judge.
I promise.
The only thing I cared about in this stupid place I like her, Katie.
I really do.
I like her more than anybody I've ever liked.
She's engaged.
You just don't want to be that guy.
I told her I couldn't see her anymore.
She's marrying Mafika for all the wrong reasons.
She's not in love with him.
That's for her to figure out.
It's her life.
I really am so sorry.
I can't be your friend anymore.
I just I just can't do it.
Well, why? Ever since the first day I met you, I've wanted to tell you that that I like you.
I just don't want to be your friend anymore.
I don't want to be just your friend.
'Cause I think you're the most amazing girl I've ever met.
It's you.
You-you're smart you're funny and you're beautiful.
And I feel I can talk to you about anything, and we have so much fun together.
And every time I see you dancing with someone else, or or even sitting with Brad, I come completely unglued.
And when we were down in the cave together, I wasn't thinking about my life being in danger, I was I was thinking how great it would be to just ki I don't think I can be your friend anymore either.
Isn't this what we had yesterday? Thank Art.
Don't do anything that will make me speak.
Good morning, everyone.
I'm glad you two are here.
Since neither of you responded to a heartfelt plea from a family member to restore order, I thought you might take someone else's word for it.
Have either of you ever looked at all the comments here in the box? 'Cause there's some good ones.
Got one here for Jo.
"Not only was Jo's cooking incredible and her advice really-" underlined- "helpful, "but she made us feel like we were one of the family.
Thank you for welcoming us to Africa and your home.
" I thought that was very Ah! Here's one for Art.
"No guide we have ever-" big letters- "gone out with knew the bush quite like Art.
"We enjoyed his stories and expertise, "plus his gruff but loveable demeanor made us feel like we were in The African Queen.
" Hmm.
So, there you have it.
People have spoken.
Are you going to deny the people what they want? I don't know.
I'm having such a great time.
But if it's for the sake of the guests.
If for the sake of the guests.
The guests, exactly.
We can always return to this arrangement if we want.
I mean, we are a team.
The Blue Antelope is what it is because of every single person.
Jo, you helped me today with the elephants.
Art you always provide color.
Well, I guess I have some Jo's famous scones to make for the guests.
I'm just going to wash up first.
Yeah, I'll just go and, um, check the air in the tires of the jeep.
Excellent.
Excellent.
Very good.
I know you wrote those notes.
So do they, but if we didn't let them save face, we'd be eating canned beans and wearing pink shirts for life.
What are you doing here? Where are you going? America.
I left Mafika.
And I took all my savings and I bought a ticket.
Are you serious? I want to be a singer.
I want to have choices.
I- I can't believe Wow.
Wow.
I hope that works out for you.
You deserve it.
Do you want to come with me? What? To New York.
It's your city, isn't it? And you can show me around.
Look, I know how much you've been wanting to go home.
You're really serious about this, aren't you? Look, I know it seems a little crazy and impulsive, But what I just did, it doesn't get crazier than that.
So, what do you think? ÆÆÀÃÐÜ×ÖĻ×é »Ó­¼ÓÈë
