In order to prevent spillage,
one does not simply twist out the cork.
Oh, God!
Frasier's a laughing show.
I like laughing shows.
What are you talking about?
Well, some shows you can hear people laughing,
and some you can't.
Wonder Years, no one's laughing.
Is it funny? We'll never know.
I prefer to laugh when I choose to.
Really? I ain't never seen you laugh.
Okay. Got the baby down.
Listen to her snore. What a beautiful sound.
Don't you think it's time she slept in her own room?
No. She's fine where she is.
I just want her to grow up to be independent.
Well, now, hang on, when Mandy was a baby,
she stayed in our room a good while.
Yes, she did.
And she's still here, Jim.
Hey, if you don't want us, we're happy to leave.
Hold on. For the first time in my life, I got my own bathroom.
I ain't goin' nowhere.
"I want her to grow up
to be independent."
Boy, she pissesme off.
Me, too.
Sooner we get out of here, the better.
Well, we're saving money, we got built-in babysitters.
I don't care. Every day I'm in this house with her,
a little piece of me dies.
We just got to make sure it ain't my favorite pieces.
Oh, really? And which pieces are those?
Oh, don't make me say it.
But there's two of 'em.
Come here.
You want to fool around?
Really? I thought you were all pissed off.
I am.
And that turns you on?
Maybe.
Hmm. This is valuable information.
Think we can do it without waking the baby?
I can. You're the noisy one.
Oh, dang it.
Y'all left this on the coffee table.
Oh.
Sleep okay?
I did.
So, all the little pieces that died because of me
are doing all right?
You know, you could've turned off the monitor.
But I didn't.
Okay, hope y'all are hungry. Oh.
Nice of the kid to make breakfast.
Mm-hmm.
This is where you say, "Thank you, Georgie."
- Aw, that ain't necessary. - See?
That ain't necessary.
- Hello. - Morning, honey.
Hey, Connor, how's it going?
Going well. How are you?
We're family. You don't have to shake my hand.
Understood.
Yeah, that's not what he meant.
It's okay. I'll take it.
How's your music going?
Excellent.
I'm working on a piece in seven-four time.
It's impossible to dance to.
- Hey, thanks for the hug. - You're welcome.
I don't know what to do with that boy.
There's nothing "to do" with him.
He's just a creative soul.
If it helps, I've got some experience
with quirky family members.
Oh, that is true.
Sheldon turned out pretty good,
considering majority of the folks can't stand him.
Well, what did your parents do?
Well, my mom always babied him,
and my dad was always mad about it.
Yeah, that's exactly what they've been doing.
Right. Keep up the good work.
Run this work order
back to Ruben.
You sure that's a good idea?
Just give him time, he'll warm up to you.
That's what you said about Mrs. McAllister.
Yeah, I was wrong on that one. Go on.
Okey dokey.
Ruben, when you're done, we got an alignment waiting.
Yes, sir.
I told you, you don't have to call me "sir."
Plain ol' Georgie's fine.
Look at me, taking orders from "plain ol' Georgie."
Hey, I'm not giving orders.
I'm just a lowly Smurf working for his lordship.
Lowly serf.
No, I'm pretty sure it's Smurf.
Except one of us is sleeping with the boss's daughter.
Whoa. Hold on, partner.
I slept with her,
got her pregnant, and then married her.
The order's a little wonky, but I checked all the boxes.
Hey, whatever you say, sir.
Come on, Ruben.
I'm a good guy, give me a chance.
I've been here nine years.
How long you been here?
Couple months?
I'm going to night school to get my bachelor's.
What's your education?
11th grade.
And who has the clipboard, and who has this thing?
Okay, when you put it that way, it seems a little unfair.
How old are you?
If I answer that, it's only gonna seem more unfair.
How's it going out here?
- It's fine, all good. - Ruben?
I hate this kid.
Okay, then, carry on.
Busy?
Just sending the U.S. government
more of our hard-earned money to piss away.
What's up?
I just wanted to apologize for some of the things I said.
Like how living here is killing you?
That is one of the things.
I'm doing the best I can, Amanda.
I know, and I-I really appreciate
you and Dad taking us in.
Thank you.
And I am so glad that you and CeeCee are here.
And...?
Georgie.
So what do you think? Can we start over?
I would like that.
Great.
I'm gonna take CeeCee to her doctor's appointment.
Do you want to come with us?
Thank you. I would.
All right.
And while we're there, we can ask the doctor
if we should be concerned that she's not talking yet.
She's not even a year, Mom, she's fine.
Of course.
It's just, you were an early talker and so was your brother.
I don't know about Georgie.
What are you saying? My daughter's got
some kind of stupid gene from her father?
I didn't say that.
But it is interesting that you jumped to it.
Georgie is very smart in more of a...
workaday manner.
He turns his underwear inside out
so he can wear 'em an extra day.
He's frugal. There's nothing wrong with being frugal.
Hmm. Workaday and frugal, quite a catch.
You are a horrible, horrible person!
What time we leaving for the doctor?
Hey.
I miss seeing my girls.
What you doing?
Looking for a place to live. We're leaving.
What happened now?
It doesn't matter, I just can't be here anymore.
What'd she say?
It's not important.
Mandy.
It's not important, Georgie,
I just want to leave.
Honey, don't cry.
I'm not.
Dang it.
Georgie, wait.
All right, listen up, whatever you said to my wife,
it's got to stop and it's got to stop right now.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know what I'm talking about either.
But she's back there crying and she's wanting to leave.
Whoa, whoa, let's all calm down.
Audrey, what happened?
No idea.
Amanda came to me and apologized for being rude.
I accepted.
Then, before I knew it, she was being rude again.
I'm guessing hormones.
I'm walking away.
If I may, you do have a habit
of slipping in little comments that can be real hurtful.
Name one.
Oh, let's not go naming things.
How about saying that CeeCee might be dumb like her dad?
She said that?
- She said that. - I never said that!
Hey, you can call me whatever you want
but you do not insult my daughter
or accuse my wife of having hormones.
Start packing, we're out of here.
You got something to say?
I do.
Well?
I'm not saying it.
Comes with your own patio furniture,
barbecue, awning.
Nice. For entertaining.
And this is your living room, slash, den,
slash, rumpus room.
It's a little cramped.
Only a problem if you don't like each other.
Well, then that is not a problem for us.
He's a chipper one, ain't he?
Yeah.
Got a full kitchen, fridge and there's a laundromat
about half mile down the road.
Handy.
Bedroom, bathroom, the end. You want it?
Can you give us a minute?
Okay, but we got a lot of people circling on this unit.
Do you?
I'll wait out on the veranda.
I know it's not exactly what we had in mind...
We're taking it. Really?
Yeah. I mean, it sucks, but it's still better
than living with my mother.
Still better.
Mr. McAllister?
Office.
Morning.
Wasn't sure I'd see you today.
Wasn't sure if I was fired.
Course not.
Is Mrs. McAllister okay with that?
Course not.
But that's my problem.
So, how's the new place?
It ain't much,
but it's ours and it's temporary.
Well, look at you,
always putting a positive spin on things.
May be a side effect of being "dumb."
Yeah, she didn't mean that.
It don't hurt my feelings.
With a brother like Sheldon,
I've been the dumb one my whole life.
That's gotta be hard.
I like it when people underestimate me.
Gives me an edge.
You are really something.
Yes, sir, I am.
Any chance I can talk you into
moving back into the house?
I ain't the one that needs convincing.
Yeah, well, we got time on the clock.
We'll figure something out.
Whoa.
What's this about?
Sorry.
Sometimes you remind me of my dad.
Well, that's... that's quite the compliment.
I didn't really hug him when I had the chance.
Then come here.
Aw, damn it.
I don't understand
why they don't just come and live with me.
Maybe they don't like you.
Oh, ha-ha.
I'm not joking.
Hey, welcome to the Cooper residence.
Cooper-McAllister.
Hmm. I'm surprised she put my name first.
Come on in.
Hey. Hi.
Hey. Hey. Brought you a few things
you might need.
Ooh, toilet paper, new towels.
A toaster? Georgie, look, we got a toaster.
Oh, it's got a bagel button.
Thank you.
There's also a blender here.
You can whip up some baby food.
Or margaritas, in case
you wanna pretend this is all good.
Oh.
There's my beautiful girl.
Oh.
Did you miss your Nana?
I bet you did.
Give me. I bet you did.
Give me. I just got her.
I'll give her back!
- Thank you. - Mary?
To toast the new house?
I can toast with ginger ale.
Jesus drank wine.
'Cause they didn't have Schweppes.
I'll have some.
You're not old enough to drink.
I'm old enough to have a wife, a baby
and a toilet that doubles as a shower.
He needs a drink.
Thank you.
I hope you know you can always come live with me.
Oh, thank you,
but it's way past time for us to be on our own.
Are you sure?
Take a hint. She doesn't like you.
- How about a toast? - To Mandy
and Georgie and CeeCee,
and their new home, humble though it be.
6:10 to Lubbock,
right on time.
They'd rather live here than with you.
Just so you know, I told Georgie
he can keep his job at the store.
Really?
Yeah, really.
You don't discuss it with me?
Why, I didn't wanna have an argument.
You didn't wanna lose an argument.
Same thing.
The fact that he ruined our daughter's life
doesn't bother you at all?
Hey, credit where credit is due, okay?
He's a kid.
If anything, she ruined his life.
Jim!
Would you just admit
you miss having them here?
I do miss my granddaughter.
Well, good luck with that. I don't see Mandy
bringing her by for a lot of visits.
She'll come back.
Not till you apologize.
I have nothing to apologize for.
Nothing at all.
Can't think of a single thing.
Well, on the bright side,
we still got our baby boy.
I can dance to that.
Here I come.
Oh, careful.
Look at me,
I'm Spider-Man.
Hello.
Hi.
Thanks for cooking dinner for my mom and Meemaw.
It was good to see 'em.
Meemaw tried to slip me money on the way out.
Sweet. How much?
I didn't take it.
Oh, Georgie.
I got my pride.
Great, we live in a matchbox,
but we got pride.
A matchbox with a brand-new toaster.
Hey, maybe it's time I go back to work.
Really?
She's ain't even a year yet.
Yeah, I know that was the plan,
but... plans change.
Mandy, I support you in anything you wanna do,
but I promise, I'll get us out of here.
How?
Simple, I'll make a lot of money.
Yeah, but how?
Never giving up.
Like right now?
See, you get it.
Ugh.
Oh, hi.
Hello.
Can I help you?
I want to talk.
You sure? That usually doesn't go well for us.
I'm sure.
Okay.
- Take your shoes off. - Oh, you're kidding.
Come on in.
Go ahead, say it.
I'd rather not.
Where's my granddaughter?
I sold her. Got a pretty good price.
Amanda.
She's taking a nap.
So, let's talk.
- Oh, right to it. - Okay.
I would like you and CeeCee
and Georgie to come back.
Why?
Because...
you'll be safer,
more comfortable.
We're pretty comfortable.
You gonna make me beg?
I'm gonna make you apologize.
I'd rather beg.
Okay, then thanks for dropping by.
Fine.
I may have been less than welcoming,
and, perhaps, a little unfair
to you and Georgie.
And I am very aware...
I know that moving back...
Okay?
Sorry, didn't get that last part.
I'm not saying it again.
Apology accepted. Help me pack.
You know, Georgie's right, when you don't
hear people laughing, it's hard to know what's funny.
I warmed up a bottle for CeeCee.
Oh, thanks, Mom.
She's so happy you're back and you're getting along.
It's been one day.
I know, right? It's crazy.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Should we turn it off?
No, no, no, turn it up.
Real nice of you
to apologize to Mandy.
I know it meant a lot to her.
Good, I'm glad.
Although, I am the one
you said mean things about.
Oh, Georgie, no.
Excuse me?
You implied the reason CeeCee ain't talking
is 'cause her dad is some kind of dumbbell.
Mmm. Set of brass ones on this kid.
I guess I did.
So?
So what?
Dadda.
You hear that?
Who's dumb now? Mandy, she's talking!
Oh, my God!
Hurry, get in here!
I'm coming!
You missed it. She said "Dadda."
Wow. Smart little girl.
Well, you know genius runs in my family.
Dadda.
