Bobbie.
You have to get her to stop
labeling the citrus wrong.
If an orange can be called an orange,
then a lemon can be called a yellow.
What I'd give for one
normal opening shift.
Bobbie, can you come in here, please?
Thank you, Lord.
- Surprise!
- [SCREAMS]
[LAUGHS] Gotcha.
What's going on?
Our six-month anniversary
of finding out we're sisters.
I sent you a calendar invite, remember?
Yeah, I remember.
Yeah, I I I read all your emails.
I even read the ones
when I'm sitting over there
and you're sitting right here.
Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
I hope you like your gift.
Who knew it would be so
hard to make something?
Oh, let's see what this puppy is.
It's a mug that says "Ters" on it.
And I have "Sis."
Sisters mugs!
Aw, would you look at that?
So I know it's only been six months,
but I wanted to give you something
that says my sister is
bold, brave, beautiful,
more than anyone could ever want,
and I'm so happy we share DNA!
It says all that in this little old mug?
Yeah.
And it says, "Made by
Isabella" on the bottom.
Oh. [LAUGHS]
Do you like them?
I love 'em, I love 'em. They're so cute.
It's just that I feel horrible
I didn't get you anything.
Oh. You didn't get me anything?
- No.
- That's OK. It's dumb.
These are dumb.
No, it's not.
Not no I I'm kidding.
Course I got you something.
- Really?
- Yeah.
It's just that I'm a
I'm not a morning gift giver.
I'm a nighttime gift giver.
So you better be
ready later, little missy,
'cause you're going to love it.
Ah, I can't wait!
Sisters! [LAUGHS]
[LAUGHS]
Crap.
Sometimes it feels
like a big ol' fight ♪
To get through the day ♪
And sleep on through the night ♪
But here you'll find a place ♪
That'll surely lift your spirits ♪
You belong at Happy's Place ♪
Hey, Steve. You're good with computers.
I want to order this and have
it delivered tonight, but look.
See? They won't let me.
OK, you're not having
a computer problem,
you're having a problem
with the concept of time.
And I cannot help you with that.
I mean, this is a nightmare.
Hey, what's going on?
Bobbie, are you OK?
Did you get hacked? Did
somebody steal your identity?
Calm down.
He said, knowing she could never.
She has to buy Isabella
a last-minute gift.
Oh.
Is this what you're thinking?
Yeah, it's one of those
plug-in slides how frames.
I'm gonna put pictures
of the both of us in it.
Cute, right?
So you're getting her an iPhone?
But it can't make
calls or look things up
and it has to be plugged into a wall.
Well, you're a lot of help.
No, listen.
Young people don't
consider stuff thoughtful.
Oh, really?
Well, I've got a homemade
mug in there that begs to differ.
Well, that's just because
Isabella knows you're old.
er than her.
Yeah.
Her generation,
which I'm basically in
- [STEVE GROANS]
- Deh!
Values experiences over anything else.
Like like if I had a friend
who could take her skydiving.
Oh, my gosh, that would be amazing.
I said like if I had a friend.
I don't.
You could get a tattoo for Isabella.
You think she'd like that?
Well, she already has
a couple of cool ones.
I mean, it seems very her.
Oh, she's so brave.
I can't even hear the word needles.
[SHUDDERS]
I didn't know you had
irrational fears, too.
That's fun for me to know.
I think a tattoo would be
the excellent anniversary gift.
Look at me, coming up with an
idea as thoughtful as the mugs.
I mean, I came up with it.
And I pay you, so zip it.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Emmett.
Where is Emmett?
What do you need? I can help.
I need to know where Emmett is.
Unless you want to
painstakingly go through
the stats of yesterday's game with me?
I do not.
There you are.
Thanks for covering, Takoda.
- Hey, sure thing.
- Where were you?
I've been looking for you for an hour.
You found me. What do you want?
Well, now I want to know where you were.
Nowhere.
What were you doing?
Nothing.
Did you notice the peanut oil is low?
Would you two stop with the questions?
There are some things a
man likes to keep private.
That was weird.
I shouldn't have shamed
him about the peanut oil.
Nailed it.
Isabella, can you come in here, please?
- Surprise!
- [SCREAMS]
[LAUGHS]
- Did I get you?
- Totally.
And I don't know how
'cause I could see you hiding.
That's as low as my
knees will let me go down.
[LAUGHS]
OK, gift time. Open it up.
[SQUEALS] This is so exciting!
OK, wait.
Some people may think that
gift cards are very impersonal,
but they're wrong.
Gift cards can be a very personal gift.
So it's a gift card.
I'm not gonna tell you.
Open it.
I wanted something that said,
"My sister is cool and colorful
and a permanent blessing in my life."
A tattoo.
I thought it could say
"sisters," like our mugs.
We're getting matching sister tattoos!
We're getting what now?
What a beautiful symbol
of our relationship.
Yeah, about that.
I mean, all that pain I used
to carry around about our dad,
I just
I've struggled with abandonment
issues my whole life.
So thanks for being the big sister
I've always wanted
and helping me with that.
That's just what I meant to do.
- Sisters!
- Sisters!
I think we should do a Celtic symbol.
Oh, like this one.
- The tree of life?
- Mm-hmm.
It looks a little big.
How about the leaf of life?
- You know what?
- I'll just make the appointment.
The pressure of a looming
deadline will help us decide.
OK, then. You go do that.
[CHUCKLES]
What the heck are you doing, lady?
What does it look like?
I'm getting a tattoo with Isabella.
What about your fear of needles?
I mean, you can't even get
a flu shot without a Valium.
I'm gonna get over it.
How?
Get me a needle.
What do I look like, a nurse?
God, I'd be a sexy nurse.
When is Halloween this year?
OK, so get me a toothpick.
- Why?
- So I can stick myself.
That way, I can start small
and work my way up to a needle.
Bobbie, why don't you just tell Isabella
that you don't want to do this?
Because I do want to do this.
It means the world to her.
I want to be the big
sister she needs me to be.
Here she comes.
[GIGGLES]
Great news. Usually, this
place is booked for weeks.
But this guy canceled
because he got in a
huge fight with his wife.
And now, there's two
openings for tomorrow night.
Eek!
- Double eek!
- [CHEERS]
[SQUEALS]
[LAUGHS]
- Ugh.
- [SIGHS]
24 hours to get rid of a lifelong fear.
- OK, here goes.
- [SIGHS]
Ow!
Dang it! Dang it! I hate it.
Bobbie, if you really
want to get over your fear,
- I can help you.
- I can do it.
- I can do it.
- [SIGHS]
Ow!
[GROANS] I honestly don't
know how olives do this.
[WHISPERING] Hey, Steve, come here.
What's with the whisper?
Are you playing hide-and-seek?
Bobbie said we couldn't.
[WHISPERING] Emmett's acting weird.
So are you, sneaking around.
And cut it with the whispering.
[NORMALLY] I overheard
Emmett yelling on a phone
about some kind of an appointment.
It sounded like he was in trouble.
Oh, no.
What if it's another health scare?
Or if he has a secret family?
Wait, that was Happy.
I'm sure if Emmett needed
help, he'd let us know.
[LAUGHTER]
We have to save him.
But we can't break into
his locker, he's our friend.
We have to break into his
locker because he's our friend.
Ah, step aside.
How did you know his combination?
It's 1-2-3-4. Emmett's a simple guy.
OK, you go through his stuff.
I'll make sure he isn't coming.
But what am I looking for?
Pills, brass knuckles,
my coffee mug he loves
but swears he didn't take.
Uh, Steve?
Yeah?
[LAUGHTER]
[BELLS CHIME]
You are floating on a cool breeze,
far away from earthly fears.
[BELLS CHIME]
Far away from anything pointy.
[BELLS CHIME]
Or pokey.
[BELLS CHIME]
Needles.
You're far away from needles.
Now, take a deep breath in and out.
[BELLS CHIME]
OK, Bobbie, I need to hear you, OK?
Like this. [INHALES DEEPLY]
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Sorry, I had egg salad.
Do you have a license to
be doing something like this?
No, but I took a Zoom
class during the pandemic.
OK? Now close your eyes.
Come on.
[BOBBIE CLEARS THROAT]
All right.
Zibby zabby zobbie zoo.
Zabbie zabbie zoobie zoobie zah!
You are floating.
You are safe.
You're floating.
You are safe.
Bobbie, look.
- [LAUGHS]
- What the heck?
[GASPS]
You were poking me up a storm
and it didn't even bother me.
See, now you can get
that tattoo with Isabella.
Oh, man, I am talented.
And powerful.
Yeah, you are. Huh.
What? What is wrong?
I I don't know. I should
be happy, but I'm not.
Oh, quick, lay back down.
The Great Gabby has more work to do.
No, no, no.
No, no.
It's not about the needle anymore.
It's
it's about the tattoo.
I just don't want to get it.
- Why?
- I don't know. It doesn't feel right.
Oh, man, what am I gonna do?
Our appointment's tomorrow night.
Bobbie, please.
Just tell Isabella
that you can't do this.
Oh, right, tell my baby sister,
who's just gotten over
abandonment issues,
that I'm gonna abandon her?
Oh, and get a tattoo, even
though you don't want one?
[SCOFFS]
I've got a yin-yang on my hoo-ha
that says that's a bad idea!
No. I'm gonna get out of this.
Gabby, clear your schedule.
- [BELLS CHIME]
- It's clear.
[LOCKER SLAMS]
Doing all right, there, Emmett?
I'm fine.
- Need any help?
- Nope.
Then I guess you're
not looking for these?
What the hell?
Not at my spot.
What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with you?
Why didn't you just tell us
you were taking tap lessons?
We were worried
something bad was going on.
Why do you two care so much?
Because we're your friends, Emmett.
Yeah, bro. Open up.
[GROANS] Fine.
I wanted to learn how to
tap since the first time I saw
"Singin' in the Rain."
Oh, my God.
And if you two make fun of me, I swear,
I will tap dance on your graves.
And I will come back
from the dead to see it.
I guess it was my health scare that was
the kick in the butt I needed
to finally sign up for lessons.
I think it's admirable
what you're doing.
Agreed.
Please continue your
tap lessons in peace.
Yeah, well
I'm not taking tap lessons anymore.
Why?
I got kicked out.
Apparently, you're not allowed
to holler in the studio
when you mess up.
The kids tell their moms.
- I'm sorry.
- I was trying to find these
so I could throw them away.
Emmett, wait.
You're not the only one
who's had an affair with
dance.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
So why are you here again?
Oh, she, uh
she just wanted to come
check the place out for us.
Yeah, you know these tattoo
parlors can be kind of seedy.
- Right, Gabby?
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there is a danger element
that you may not be aware of.
Oh, damn, this place is nice!
Isn't it? It got great reviews online.
Except for this one guy
who was mad it rained
the day he came in.
It's like, take it up
with God. [CHUCKLES]
I'm gonna go check us in.
- [BOBBIE LAUGHS]
- Oh, man.
This place is classier than
where I get my mammograms.
The plan was for you to find
something wrong with this place
so I had an excuse not to
have to go through with this.
Quit saying it's nice.
Well, I'm sorry, but
this place is flawless.
The places I usually go get a
tattoo are down by the docks
or under a bridge or in some
guy named Terry's garage.
All right, so so what should we do?
You're gonna have to
find something wrong
with the tattoo artist.
Easy-peasy, yellowsqueezy.
Isabella told me that the
guy's name is Maverick.
[SCOFFS] OK.
All right, there's definitely
gonna be something off
about this guy.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Damn stroke.
Clean up on aisle five!
OK, who's my next victim?
So you're Maverick?
I am Maverick.
He's Maverick! [LAUGHS]
Which is so good and cool.
There something wrong?
[CHUCKLING] No.
Nothing I can say out loud.
Gabby, thoughts?
Everything looks great to me.
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, there's just
something about this guy, right?
Do you have a wife I can
steal you away from? [LAUGHS]
Are you kidding me?
I know what it is.
Something about me makes
this one uncomfortable.
Me? No. [LAUGHS]
I'm not uncomfortable.
No, she's not uncomfortable.
[LAUGHS] I'm not uncomfortable.
I am. [CHUCKLES]
I'm a little flushed. [GIGGLES]
Are you sure?
Nothing about me maybe
gets under your skin?
Maybe makes you a little nervous?
Maybe it's my hair?
Or maybe it's my goatee?
Or maybe it's the fact that
I don't wear a damn watch?
Um, well
I'm just kidding.
The stroke hit my left
side, but I'm right-handed.
And you use that hand, right?
Oh, yeah.
- You see all of these?
- Uh-huh.
I did those with this.
[CHUCKLING] Oh, gosh.
It's your situation, you
own it, and I love that.
[LAUGHS] Hilarious.
Oh, I like to mess with new customers.
You got to take
whatever life throws at you
and have fun with it, am I right?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
When life hands you
yellows, you make yellow-ade.
OK, who's up?
My biggest, best-est sister!
OK, Red, looks like you're up.
[BOBBIE GROANS]
Nothing's stopping me,
not even my good friend.
Oh, wait, wait.
Isabella, I don't know
about this guy, huh?
I mean, you know, he's just too
handsome.
Too charming.
I mean, marry me. [GIGGLES]
Oh, forget it.
Honey, I don't want to get a tattoo.
You don't want to do this with me?
No, honey, I don't.
And it's not because
you've had a stroke.
What stroke?
- I just fell asleep on my arm.
- [GABBY GIGGLES]
I'll fall asleep on your arm.
You know what?
You look like a gal who
could rock a snake tattoo.
Well, I may not rattle, but
I can sure shake my tail.
Why didn't you just tell me
you don't want to get a tattoo?
I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
I mean, my family's already
caused you so much pain.
You haven't caused me any pain.
Well, not me. Daddy.
Well, what does our
dad have to do with it?
Well, you said that these tattoos were
- all about your abandonment issues.
- Oh.
I'm sorry if anything
I said made you sad.
But Bobbie, this tattoo isn't about
the 24 years I didn't have with Dad.
It's about the six
months I've had with you.
- Really?
- Absolutely.
And they've been the
best six months of my life.
Oh, Isabella, that's the
sweetest thing I've ever heard.
Oh, I love you.
Now, let's get out of here, all right?
I don't want you to get a tattoo
that reminds you of the past.
I don't want that, either.
I want a tattoo that celebrates
you and me right now.
What are you saying?
Matching tattoos are back on ♪
- Ow!
- Yay!
Wow!
Wow, this six-month anniversary
has been a real
emotional roller coaster.
Right? OK.
Hey, tattoo guy, we're ready now.
You two will have to wait your turn.
I'm with another woman.
I'm getting one that matches
my hoo-ha on my yoo-hoo.
[LAUGHS]
[GASPS] Whoo. Yee-haw.
[LAUGHS]
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
So what do you think?
What is it?
Oh, we both got hearts.
Like our mugs.
Except this time, mine says "Sis."
And I took "Ters," which is fair.
Yeah.
I also got a tattoo.
But it's another one
I can't show at work.
Where's Steve and Emmett?
Oh, yeah. We want to show them, too.
I haven't seen them.
