Alexa & Katie (2018) s03e05 Episode Script

1 After a long semester, we were finally on Christmas break.
While Katie was decorating cookies, I was thinking about Dylan coming home from college.
Oh, I'm so happy Barry let me host my canned food drive at Wired.
And he gave me extra shifts.
Aww! More work! And you thought Barry wasn't gonna get you anything.
Okay, so maybe his heart is three sizes too small, but if it means extra money, oh, I am fine with it.
Oh, reindeer cookies! - Hey! - Ah! Those are for people who donate food.
- No one wants one with a smooshed face.
- Jack! Okay, I'll smoosh your face! - Oh, Spencer? - Dylan.
Dylan? Remember how he texted me confetti after we won our basketball game? Then I sent a unicorn and then he sent a puppy dog face.
This is the first time I'm seeing him since he left for college and I'm kind of excited.
Excited to see if something's still there? Maybe I'm excited to see if maybe there's still something there.
Oh! Nice use of the double maybe-maybe.
- What about Spencer? - We're just friends.
- Spencer? - Dylan.
You know, I haven't heard from Spencer in a couple days.
Hope everything's okay.
Dylan? - Dylan.
- I got one! Hey, thanks for helping me put up all those flyers.
I hope we get a big turnout at the food drive.
You know, colleges love this stuff, and it's good for hungry people.
And for college.
But mostly hungry people.
Well, I don't think they're gonna want the broken one.
Where? You got Rudolph.
It It's weird without mom telling me I'm doing it wrong.
You know, I'm glad mom loves being an event planner, but it makes me sad decorating without her.
Well, she's been getting home so late with all these holiday parties.
She didn't wanna make us wait any longer.
Not there, Lucas.
Thanks.
But it's not the same.
I can't do this without Mom.
How hard can it be? So hard.
Well, I'm gonna go find something for Katie's food drive.
That's the spirit.
Christmas is all about the giving.
Go ahead.
Take whatever you want.
Oh, not the peaches.
I really like those.
But I guess so do the hungry.
Go ahead, take the peaches.
- Where are you going? - Get more peaches.
Thank you so much for the donation.
Enjoy a complimentary reindeer cookie.
Merry Christmas.
Here are your three French presses, two berry scones, And a partridge in a pear tree Yeah, we have fun.
I still can't believe I agreed to this.
We sell cookies here.
Not Christmas cookies.
And we still don't, 'cause you're giving them away.
This is true, but it's bringing in a ton of customers who are buying coffee and un-Christmas cookies.
So I see it as a win-win.
Still don't like it.
Wow! Quite the turnout! And check out my festive can Christmas tree.
Okay, right now it's a can Christmas shrub.
Well, this will help it grow.
Oh, peaches! Hey, guys, check this out.
Since Barry's such a Scrooge, there's a bet to see who can make him laugh.
Get out.
He'll laugh later when he gets it.
You guys want in? It's only a dollar.
I don't have a dollar and Barry doesn't have a sense of humor.
Here's two dollars, one for me and one for Katie.
Aww, thank you! Seriously, Barry never laughs.
- Thanks for doing our gift exchange here.
- Yeah, of course.
Opening gifts is my favorite part of Christmas.
Well, right after returning them for what I really want.
I'm just happy we're able to do this at all.
I still need to pack to go to my grandma's.
I'm so glad we're going to my mom's mom's house, and not my mom's mom's house.
Oh, hold on a sec.
Gotta do the do-gooding.
Heh.
Oh, thank you! Enjoy a complimentary reindeer cookie.
Merry Christmas.
Oh, thank you! Enjoy a complimentary reindeer cookie.

Oh, thank you.
Enjoy a complimentary What up, Mr.
Mendoza? It's me, Dylan.
Dylan, oh.
I didn't recognize you without your glasses.
And that hair.
All that other stuff going on.
Dylan, dude! - What's up, man? - Hey.
Oh, wow! You look so tan! And you look so comfortable.
Thanks.
I got a nice study-belly over finals.
I'll take it off after New Year's.
Well, bro, you should really try out some Ult Fris.
Ultimate Frisbee.
Oh, oh, bro, we do this thing at Stanford where we use abbrevs for everything.
Hey, check this out.
Heh.
That was a scoob, short for scoober.
You guys learn a lot at Stanford.
You wanna see my dorm room? Don't you live here? Yeah, but I put my bed over my desk, and I wear flip-flops in the shower.
Hey! Thanks for agreeing to watch Jack while I go on this date.
I don't remember agreeing to that.
Oh, that's weird, 'cause I do.
Bye.
A Christmas train set.
What? Oh, my trains! Lori said this got ruined in a flood.
That happened while I was out of town.
Okay, a latte for you, a macchiato for you, and for you, an extra hot cafe au lait with a double shot of espresso, half whole milk, half non-fat, one packet of brown sugar, one packet regular sugar, and a double pump of vanilla syrup.
- Katie, come on.
- I have to go soon.
I asked for extra foam.
Eh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nutmeg.
Eh, I have my Epi-pen.
- Uh, where were we? Right, gifts.
- Katie! More do-gooders! Okay, sorry! So, when are you meeting Dylan? After the gift exchange.
Ooh! Something going on there? No.
Maybe.
Ah, we'll see.
Okay, I'm here! - Customer! - And I'm gone! Well, this is fun.
Well, you know what is fun? Winning money.
Hey, Barry, do I have something in my teeth? You said "teeth", but it's on your nose.
Okay, this time for real.
You, drop that cookie! - What cookie? - That cookie, the one in your hand.
They're for people who donated.
You did not! Looks like I did.
Not bad.
Not great either.
Could use a little more butter.
I'm gonna guess! Smells like apples and elephants! Coconut! So close! Aw, you opened the candles without me? Sorry Katie, I really gotta go.
Christmas selfie before you leave? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Register! Okay, send it to me.
Yeah, she's not gonna want that one.
Oh! Reindeer.
Do you have any snowmen? It's a free cookie, lady.
Take it or leave it.
Ah, that wasn't very jolly.
I guess I didn't realize how hard it would be working while everyone else is having fun.
But, you know what? The food drive's a success.
I'm making money and I got a great selfie with my friends.
Yeah.
Well, just hang in there.
I'll be right back.
- Ah, Dylan? - Spencer.
Spencer.
I'm gonna go check in on Spencer and then come back to see Dylan.
Mm.
Well, have fun! They do need butter.
This is the coolest thing ever! Yeah, right? What do you say we build a bridge over the coffee table? We can do that? We can do anything we want, Jack.
It's a world of trains.
All aboard.
Are you sure you don't wanna be a train conductor instead of a pilot? I am a train conductor.
Now, let's get building.
Hi.
Thought you were going on a date.
I just came to say goodbye to Jack.
You never say goodbye to me.
Oh, Jack! So I guess I should, uh, go What? We didn't say anything.
Oh, trains! Hey, that looks like fun.
What about your date? Oh! I got a little time.
And you know how much I love trains.
Hand me that That thingamabob.
- You mean "track"? - Sure, whatever.
Hey, I made a rainbow.
The way your mini-fridge doubles as a sock drawer, very impressive.
- Ready to go to the co-ho? - Co-ho? Yeah, coffee house! Right, abbrevs.
Heh, heh! But it's called Wired, so why don't you just say Wi? - Why? - Exactly.
- What? - No, Wi.
Why, why? - No, one Wi.
- Huh? - Hi, Mrs.
Walker.
- Oh, Alexa.
I've got it, Mom.
Hey, Alexa.
What's up? I hadn't heard from you, and I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas.
Oh, thanks.
I feel bad I didn't get you anything.
I've just been a little tired lately.
I No, I totally get it.
Oh, I I like the Wizards hat.
I've never seen you in a hat before.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, if you don't mind, I Uh, sure.
Merry Christmas.
Yeah.
Merry Christmas.
Building the dream one track at a time.
Thanks.
Maybe one day I can wear the hat.
Ah, Jack.
Well, who put the gumdrops on top of the train depot? Oh! That was me.
You did red, red, green, green, white, white.
It's supposed to be red, white, green, red, white, green.
It's so simple.
Dave, I think you have a train problem.
You think I need more trains? No.
There's a reason that Lori made up a flood.
I think you know what I'm getting at.
I don't have a train problem.
You're the one that's gumdropping all over the place.
If anyone here has a train problem, it's you.
What does that even mean? Well, for someone who's supposed to be on a date, you're oddly interested in building a train set.
It's hard! Putting myself out there, again and again.
It's like when I get in the "ten items or less line" with 30 items.
I know it's not gonna work out but I just keep doing it anyway.
You're putting too much pressure on yourself.
Just relax and have a good time.
You know, you're right.
So, you gonna go on the date? Oh, no, I already canceled.
But I'm gonna go on the next one.
And I'm gonna enjoy it.
Or I'm gonna have the worst time of my life, but I'm definitely gonna go.
It's finished! - All aboard the Christmas Town Express! - Hey.
Hey, is that a Cocoa Caboose? No, it's not a caboose.
It's clearly in the middle of Yeah, I have a train problem.
- Cocoa's good though.
- Yeah, it is.
Mm.
Scored us some jelly doughnuts.
Yeah, I don't really eat those anymore.
I'm gluten-free.
And just generally doughnut-free.
All right, two for me.
We need some milk.
Fat-free milk.
Olives? Get out.
Wow, that was so Barry of you.
Well, I'm, uh, having a tough time keeping the "Bahs" out of my "Humbug".
Uh, Dylan got here a few minutes ago.
Oh, right.
Dylan! - Hey, you.
- Alexa.
- Hi.
- Nice to see you.
How are ya? California looks good on you.
I saw on Insta that you're in a math frat.
Yeah.
They made me do a really complicated math problem to get in.
Oh, well, I hope it wasn't a negative! - Dork.
- Says the guy in a math frat.
Oh, I almost forgot.
- Got you a little something.
- Hmm.
Here, try it on so I can see.
Now I sound like my grandma.
Cute.
Thank you.
So, how is California? It's crazy.
Everything's different out there.
The sun is different.
The The trees are different There are avocados and everything.
Alexa? I'm sorry, Dylan.
I gotta go.
Really? Okay.
Katie said they had reduced-fat, non-fat and low-fat.
It was just getting so complicated for me, I just went with half-and-half.
Did you guys all get really weird while I was gone? Us? You're the one that's wearing beads.
Okay, so we both changed.
But maybe there is one thing that hasn't.
- Jelly time.
- Seriously? Seriously.
If we can make Barry laugh, we'll win a whole bunch of money.
Yes.
Hey, Barry? Jelly bump! Nice! Look at that.
- Oh! - Oh! I have something for you.
- You already brought me a present.
- Just open it.
A pillow case? It's silk.
I know that you're losing your hair.
When I lost mine it was so weird.
Regular pillowcases irritated my scalp but the silk ones felt really nice.
Thank you.
It's not even about the hair.
It's just I still can't believe I have cancer.
I mean, first time in the hospital room, and then I'm in a chemo chair.
That's not me.
And now this.
It's another thing that says I really do have cancer.
I have an idea.
I know.
This was hard for me, too.
But there's so many things happening to you right now.
And this is one thing that you can control.
Okay.
Go easy on me.
Well, well, well.
If it isn't the cookie crook.
Huh! You take one sample and you're just branded for life.
Okay, it wasn't a sample.
- It was a homemade "thank you" for - Okay, okay, okay.
I can see you're ramping up again, so, uh, here.
This is a food drive after all, right? - Well, thank you.
- Mm.
And - nice food triangle.
- No! It's a Christmas tree! Ugh! Waah! Oof! Ugh.
All the cans! That's good! Woo! Merry Christmas to me! I I did it.
I made Barry laugh.
I made Barry laugh.
Oh, I I'll just be taking this! Thank you very much! Woo! Yeah! Hey! Hey, Barry? Have fun without me tomorrow, 'cause I'm taking the day off.
Oh, my god, a 20! Oh! Okay.
All done.
How does it look? Good.
Really good.
Wow.
We should go show my mom.
Yeah, sure! Oh! You're in a better mood.
Last time I saw you, you had resting Barry face.
Well, my food drive was a huge success, and I won the Barry bet.
What? Way to go! Do I even wanna know what makes Barry laugh? No, you do not.
Uh, wait, hey, I was too busy to see what happened with Dylan.
Was there maybe-maybe something there? I owe him an apology.
I was so excited to see him and then something happened with Spencer.
Spencer? I'm I'm confused.
Yeah.
Me, too.
What happened? Well, he was losing his hair, so I helped him shave his head.
And then, all of a sudden, it felt like we were gonna - kiss.
- Whoa! - I think? - Whaaa? I don't know.
Okay, you know what? Let's unpack this over some ice cream, yeah? My treat.
How many toppings do I get? As many as you want.
Oooh, well, I want all of them.
You got it! Oh, oh, oh! Oh! Welcome home.
What are you guys doing? It's so late.
Well, we felt bad decorating without you, so we waited.
Oh, you guys! We did not wait on the eggnog.
Hey, come on, let's get decorating.
- Yeah.
- Yay! Oh, oh! Look, a train track.
Must've survived the flood.
Oh! I forgot all about that train set.
No, not there, Lucas! Now it feels like Christmas.
