Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage (2024) s01e16 Episode Script

Baby Fight

1
60th percentile for height,
50th for weight.
Everything looks
right on target.
Um, where are we with teething?
Because she's about
90th percentile for screaming.
Oh, she ain't been that bad.
Oh, really? You don't hear it
all the way at work?
Kids can teethe up until
their third birthday.
Okay, now I may cry.
Come on, we're halfway there.
Hey, we're complaining here, all right?
Get in the boat.
I'm telling you,
you're gonna miss this.
Before you know it,
she's gonna be rolling her eyes
and thinking everything
you say is dumb.
Ugh.
Like that.
You two thinking about
having another one?
- Definitely.
- Maybe.
Uh-oh.
You really don't want
to have more kids?
I don't know.
Probably someday.
You don't want CeeCee to have
a little brother or sister?
I don't know. Probably someday.
Well, if you want them
to be friends,
that someday needs
to be someday soon.
Says who?
Come on, there's a big gap
between me and Sheldon
and Missy.
There's a big gap between
you and your brother.
Me and Connor are good.
You barely talk.
Which is why we're good.
I thought we were
on the same page with this.
Why? I never said I was ready
to have another baby.
Well, you weren't ready
to have CeeCee,
and she turned out great.
Hey, and word
on the street is,
I, too, was
an unexpected blessing.
[scoffs]
Look, of course I love CeeCee.
She's the best, and you
have your moments.
But having another kid
is a big decision.
Fine. You're right.
Maybe I shouldn't have
just assumed you were on board.
Thank you.
This is something
we should talk about.
Agreed.
- I'm ready to have another kid.
- Yeah, well, uh, too bad.

[coos]
[door opens]
We're back.
AUDREY:
Hey. How was the doctor?
CeeCee's perfect and
Mandy don't want another kid.
That is not what I said.
Great, let's go to the bedroom
and get to work.
Fat chance.
Y'all are happy
you had two kids, right?
- Of course.
- Eh.
Jim.
What, you want me to lie?
You love both our
children very much.
Sure.
Jim.
I said sure.
Oh, come on, don't you want
a grandson someday?
Somebody to play catch with?
Hey. Do not drag him into this.
Yeah, please don't.
Look, I just got to fill
in at the station.
There's a good chance
they're gonna call again.
Now is not the time to be
rolling around like a beach ball.
- Fair point.
- Thank you.
Took you forever
to lose that baby weight.
Again, thank you.
You don't have
to decide this right away.
You're both young.
Well, I'm young.
Say it again.
He's so young he don't
even know what he's saying.
No, I know exactly
what I'm saying.
Dude, I'm trying to help you.
Let me help.
I made the baby,
the perfect baby,
that's the baby.
Excuse me,
but we made a baby.
Oh, dude.
You got anything to
donate to the church?
Don't think so.
All right.
I'm getting rid of some of CeeCee's stuff
she don't fit in no more.
Okay.
Remember this one
with the little footies?
So precious.
I know what you're doing.
What? I'm just remembering
how cute my daughter was
when she was a baby.
She's still a baby.
Well, not this size of a baby.
Okay, stop trying to guilt me.
How 'bout this?
Why don't we just put it in God's hands
and see what happens?
Put it in your own hands.
That's what's gonna happen.
Look at this.
Guy at table two gave me
50 cents and
his phone number.
Am I really not even
worth paper money?
- You gonna call him?
- Ha-ha.
Probably.
Hey, can I ask you
a personal question?
Sure.
You're happy just having
one kid, right?
One kid, no husband.
50 cents burning
a hole in my pocket.
So happy.
Georgie's pestering me
to have another baby.
You don't want
another one?
Well, not right now.
Well, then do what
I did with my ex.
I told him we were trying,
but I was secretly still on birth control.
And, uh, this is the ex-husband
that ended up having a
baby with another woman?
You know what?
Here's a quarter.
Go call someone
else for advice.
This is the last batch.
Judas Priest.
How many checks are there?
If you'd let me sign your name,
you wouldn't have to do this.
It's fine.
You don't trust me?
Of course I trust you.
So let me sign your name.
No.
Oh, there you are.
Hey. What brings you by?
I've got baby clothes
to donate.
I thought you were gonna hold on
to some of these, just in case.
So did I.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Just some stuff with Mandy.
You know, marriage counseling is
one of the services I provide.
Good to know.
Or you could just
talk to your mother.
Door's open 24/7.
If I may,
the boy might be
more comfortable talking to
another man.
What can he tell you
that he can't tell me?
Could be bedroom related.
Yeah, he's gonna talk to you
about his bedroom problems.
I ain't got no bedroom problems.
It's just me and Mandy are
fighting about having more kids.
That is a common issue
with young couples.
Y-Your father and I had
our struggles with it.
Which I counseled you through.
Sure you did.
Son, this is something
I've dealt with in my own marriage as well.
Your first marriage?
Is that why she left you?
No, my-my current marriage.
Why did that first one leave?
That's not really relevant.
My dad always said
she was too hot for you.
Hey. Selena may have
been beautiful,
but she was not out of my league.
And there was
a language barrier,
which was a grande problemo.
Well, I just wanted
to thank you again
for letting me fill in for
your weather girl last month.
No, I don't have an agent,
but I do have
a RadioShack answering machine.
Okay, well,
you've got my number.
I'm here, I still fit
into my high school jeans
and I am not afraid
to show a little cleavage.
No, thank you.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What's going on?
Oh, I just got off the phone
with the TV station.
Oh. They call?
A call was made. Move on.
They got work for you?
Not right this second,
but I am at the top of their list,
so I probably shouldn't
be making any
big life changes.
Like getting pregnant?
Or a face tattoo,
something like that.
You believe this?
Beer tastes better outside.
Excuse me.
[door closes]
Look, this is something
a lot of young couples face.
And I really think
communication is key.
Where is this coming from?
Well, I was talking
to Pastor Jeff and--
You told our business
to Pastor Jeff?
Well, I didn't mean to.
I meant to tell my mom and--
You told your mom, too?!
Your parents know!
'Cause you told them!
'Cause I'm good
at communicating!
[frustrated grunt]
Georgie
I don't want to have
another kid right now.
- Well, when?
- I don't know!
But someday?
I don't know!
So maybe not someday?
Maybe not.
- Well, what if I'm not okay with that?
- Well, too bad, it's my decision.
Once again, it's our decision!
Oop, I thought you were done.
[door closes]
[door opens]
[door closes]
You're in bed early.
Yeah, well,
you know us old people.
Oh, come on, I didn't mean that.
I'm real sorry.
You want me to sleep
on the couch?
No. You can stay.
You sure?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Little warm in here.
That's better.
I really am sorry
about what I said before.
Which part?
Well, having another kid
is your decision.
It's your body
and I support that.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Love you.
Love you, too.
Man, it's still hot in here.
[grunts]
[relieved sigh]
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
I was hot.
And so are you, by the way.
Back on the couch again, eh?
Shut up.
[sighs]
[speaking indistinctly]
Dave Coulier's on tonight.
Gonna be a good one.
What's wrong?
Little stiff.
Slept on the couch last night.
Again?
First year's the hardest.
Everyone knows that.
Well, you're welcome
to stay here.
Appreciate it.
You could have brought my granddaughter,
but there's always next time.
I don't get it.
CeeCee's wonderful.
Why wouldn't she
want more of that?
Missy was wonderful
at that age, too.
Now I'm contemplating
an exorcism.
[sighs]
You don't know
what's gonna happen.
When I got pregnant the second time
and it was twins?
That was a lot.
Eh, twins don't sound so bad.
Although, one of them
was Sheldon.
Sheldon was a gift from God.
A difficult gift from God.
Hey, what are the odds
of me having a genius?
Your father had one.
He's gone now.
You can tell me the truth.
Is Sheldon really his?
Georgie Cooper.
Well, Sheldon's smart,
tall and thin.
It ain't a crazy question.
He has a twin sister.
And that's the perfect cover.
Need a hand?
Oh, you could help me
set the table.
On it. Forks on the right,
knives on the left.
- Nope.
- On it.
Will Georgie be back for dinner?
I don't know.
Will he be back ever?
Of course he will.
Well, when?
When he stops trying
to inseminate me.
You know, I read an article
where women in their 30s
are starting
to freeze their eggs.
Huh. Well, if you're gonna do that,
would you mind using the garage freezer?
I don't want your eggs
next to my ice cream.
Okay, can we please
stop talking about my eggs?
I'd like that.
Just want you to know
I'm on your side.
So, if I never have another kid,
you're okay with that?
Well, let's not be
throwing "never" around.
I vote for more kids.
My uterus is not a democracy.
Pretty touchy.
We sure she's not
already pregnant?
Thanks for dinner.
'Course.
I'm grateful one of my kids
still wants to eat with me.
That's why I want a bunch.
Up my odds.
Well, we can pray on it.
I-I don't know.
God only had one kid.
He'll probably
take Mandy's side.
[phone ringing]
Cooper residence.
Oh, hi. Yes, he's still here.
You know, if you and Georgie need to talk,
I am happy to watch CeeCee.
Not the time? Okay.
It's for you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Are you planning
on coming home tonight?
I don't know.
I don't really want
to have another fight.
So, instead, you're gonna
hide at your mommy's house?
You're at your
mommy's house.
We live at my mommy's house!
And let's stop saying "mommy."
So you can decide
what I'm allowed to say,
how many kids
I can have.
Anything else you'd like
to decide for me?
Yes. You're staying
there tonight.
Great, 'cause my mom's
making a pie,
and it smells delicious.
Do I have to make a pie now?
It would keep me
from being a liar.
You see Georgie, tell him
we're running low on brake pads.
I'll take care of it.
- Where is he?
- I don't know. He'll be in soon.
You don't know where he is?
Did he not come home last night?
[gasps] Did you not
come home last night?
- Mind your own business.
- Aw, come on, my business is boring.
Hey.
Where were you last night?
- You told him?
- No.
And yet I know.
- You got anything better to do?
- No.
So where were you?
I was at my mom's.
Hmm. That means fight
with the wife.
Go.
You doing all right?
I don't really want
to talk about it.
Well, no one loves not talking
about stuff more than me,
but, uh, I'm here, if you want.
I just feel like this
is a life-changing decision
and my opinion don't matter.
Well, you can't push
something like this.
There's a ticking clock.
I know.
I also know that Audrey
didn't want a second kid
till Mandy went off
to kindergarten.
Suddenly, the house was empty
and she couldn't
keep her hands off me.
And then you had Connor.
Well, sometimes a ticking clock
is attached to a bomb.
[approaching footsteps]
Hey.
Hello.
Can I ask you a weird question?
Kind of my thing, but go ahead.
Do you ever wish
you were an only child?
Yes.
You were very mean to me.
Okay, well,
not all the time.
When I was five, you told me
hot peppers were candy.
We were kids.
What about the wedgie
that twisted my testicles?
Okay, well, they had
barely dropped yet.
Remember when you told me
if I jumped off the roof with an umbrella
I would float down?
Just remember the sound
you made when you landed.
The sound was "snap"
and it was my collarbone.
[phone ringing]
Hello.
Yes, this is she.
Absolutely I'm available.
No problem, I'll be there.
Who was that?
That was the news station.
They need me to fill in again.
- That's great.
- I know.
Sorry I wasn't a better sister.
It's okay.
It made me who I am today.
Don't make me feel worse.
Hey.
You look nice.
[door closes]
Thank you.
I was only gone one night.
You ain't going on a date, are you?
[sarcastic chuckle] Very funny.
The station called,
they need extra help tomorrow.
Oh, that's great.
Congratulations.
Yep, see, if I were pregnant,
I wouldn't be able to do this.
I know, and I want you
to have a career.
I just got a little freaked out
because I thought
we were on the same page
about what we wanted in life.
Yeah, well, we probably should've
talked about it before we got married.
We can talk about it now.
Okay.
[sighs heavily]
You start.
Okay. Well,
I always thought
one day I would
live in a big city.
Like Miami.
Miami?
What is wrong
with Miami?
Well, for starters,
it ain't in Texas.
Okay, a lot of places
aren't in Texas.
Well, that's their problem.
So, you never want
to move out of Texas?
No. Plus, in a city like Miami,
you ain't got no space.
Here, we can get
a bunch of land,
have some horses
Ugh, God, I hate horses.
What? How did I not know this?
'Cause we don't talk.
Okay, so we don't have horses.
We can have a bunch of dogs.
How about just one
and it's a cat?
You're a cat person?
Meow.
Maybe talking was a bad idea.
[sighs]
Well, when you think about it,
not talking has really worked for us.
It has, hasn't it?
I can love you
and not tell you stuff.
I love you because
you don't tell me stuff.
[laughs]
Who knows, maybe one day
I'll change my mind
about having kids.
So the door's open?
- Sure.
- Great.
[laughs]
I think it's getting
a little hot in here.
Oh, my God.
Come on.
NEWS ANCHOR:
And now, for a live look at the storm,
let's go to our correspondent on the scene,
Mandy McAllister.
[wind howling]
Thank you, Heather.
It's really coming down
out here.
There are flood warnings
in effect for the whole county.
As you can see, this small pond
that I've been told
to stand in
is quickly filling up
with cold, murky water.
She looks miserable.
We should record this.
I'm Mandy McAllister.
Stay off the roads,
stay inside, and--
That's a snake,
that's a snake! [screams]
That is a big snake.
[speaking indistinctly]
