I told them I couldn't start till the first of the year,
thinking I could spend that time here, see if it works.
And if it doesn't, you take the job in Dallas.
ANNABETH: Ruby doesn't get to swoop in and take him.
We were in love once.
And Lord help me, I still think I am.
Just so everything's out on the table, I called Tansy.
I don't see her as a placeholder.
If that's how you think Zoe sees you,
then you should talk to her.
Hey, I was actually hoping we could talk.
Talk? We don't talk.
Are you gonna come over later?
I-I... (clears throat) I don't think so.
Hey, stranger.
Noticed you didn't
Yeah, I've been,
Wow.
You've been pulling double shifts, like, all week.
Saving up to buy a two-wheeler?
Yeah?
At the office, too.
We still haven't hired a receptionist.
And worse, Brick is making the coffee,
and refuses to read the directions,
so he's probably making more patients sick
than came in sick.
Okay.
So... later?
Yeah, I don't know.
Double shift, right.
I'll see you.
(hammer banging)
Wanda, the election's far from over.
I was
going to, but now that they're a real-life couple,
doesn't it just make you smile?
I like to imagine them talking up there.
(deep voice): "Hey, Ruby."
(higher voice): "Morning, Lavon."
(deep voice): "How'd you sleep?"
Is that weird?
Not at all.
(giggles)
DASH: Lemon Breeland.
(laughs) Darling, I, um... I have here
a list of all the bachelors
who are entering picnic baskets
in tomorrow's charity bachelor blind auction.
Mm-hmm.
And, well, I noticed that your father isn't on it.
Oh, Dash, you know Daddy never enters that.
Well, I do.
But, you see, this year's
production of Twelfth Night hangs in the balance.
I know, he's just, you know,
getting over his break-up with Emily.
Still? Good lord, it's not like she's Chita Rivera.
Listen, Dash,
we all heal from heartbreak in our own way.
And maybe us Breelands just...
Look, Lemon,
your father means a great deal of cash to me,
so he might as well just push aside this heartbreak
and jump back into the game.
Because frankly, I refuse to do
Twelfth Night again in choir robes.
Hey, you got a few?
Aah, aah, aah!
Oh, I'm so sorry. I should've knocked.
No, that's okay, I use coffee
to wake up, and now I'm up, so...
Did you get my message?
Oh,
I'm sorry I didn't call back.
Um...
Ladies first.
Please.
Okay.
How do I get custody of Dolly Parton?
Uh... well... (laughs)
first off, as an officer
Oh, uh,
Dolly Parton was my dog.
I should have said that.
(laughing): Yeah.
Well,
my ex-boyfriend Colt-- you remember, he tried to shoot you
with a crossbow and then you shot yourself in the leg?
Yeah, the safety... the safety was off,
Well, we had
this dog, Dolly Parton, that I love with all my heart.
And Colt got Dolly Parton
in the breakup because I went to live with Mama,
who claims she's allergic to dogs.
And Colt went to work on the oil rig,
and now his evil ex-girlfriend, Evelyn,
has Dolly Parton, and Dolly Parton hates Evelyn
because she makes her wear this stupid tutu and never takes her
to the dog beach, and I saw them yesterday
and Dolly Parton is fat, and I want to know
how to get her back.
Okay, now I'm done.
(laughs)
Well,
I would love to help you,
and I will do some looking for you, but without
any type of legal agreement,
it might be a little bit of a long shot.
I just wanted to tell you that, I mean,
it might be one of those cases where
possession is nine-tenths of the law.
What's the other tenth-- lawyer's cut?
I'm sorry-- that was rude, and
here you are, nice enough to give me a free consultation.
Right?
Yeah, for you, any time.
But, by the way,
uh, since you're here,
and I've been so unhelpful with your predicament,
I was hoping that you might be able to help me out with mine.
Well,
Dash made me promise to enter a basket
in tomorrow's bachelor auction, but to be
honest with you, there is...
only one girl that I want to have a date with.
And... you want to know
what to put in the basket so this girl
will bid on you-- I get it.
Okay, um, what do you have so far?
Wait, um, no, no, no.
Don't tell me, let me guess. Um... (clears throat)
...takeout lunch for two from Fancie's:
glazed chicken,
potato salad,
two slices of maple pie,
and... linen napkins.
Mm, nah...
Okay, yeah, how'd you know?
Well, it doesn't take a psychic.
You're, you know, kind of predictable.
Oh, in a good way.
You're just so... George Tucker, you know?
And the kind of girl you like is gonna love your basket.
Maybe just toss in some cupcakes,
spice it up-- good luck.
And thank you.
RUBY: And look at the view-- you can see all of downtown Dallas.
Oh, and the building has a full gym, a swimming pool
and a spa. (giggles)
Oh, I can't wait for you to come see it, you're gonna love it.
You know what? (clears throat)
Enough apartment talk.
Tomorrow is the bachelor auction, and I plan to win you,
Mr. Mayor, as my date.
So, come on, spill it.
What's in the basket?
(groans)
Ah-ah-ah.
I can't tell you what's in my basket.
Oh.
Ooh.
In case I just happen to wander in and take a peek?
Which I will, because
I plan to spend every second I have left here with you.
Hmm.
(door opens)
Okay,
day six of Wade avoiding sex with me-- discuss.
Whoa, whoa!
Look how late I am for something.
Hey, maybe you two
RUBY: Oh.
Seeing as you both are here.
Good at girl talk. (laughs)
Okay, look, I know you've had your differences,
but please talk to her.
Because if Zoe Hart is left alone in her own head,
Lord knows what calamities might ensue.
Hey!
Yeah, okay.
(laughs)
(quiet laugh)
So, this is just
too juicy to not discuss.
Okay, so Wade turning down sex? I mean,
you check his pulse?
I know, right?
He has an all-access pass to ZoeLand.
He doesn't have to wait in any lines.
And then all of a sudden, he just...
What?
Oh, my God.
Wade is bored.
No! What, Wade?
Yeah, it...
it's true.
He's already seen my light parade.
Spun my teacups, ridden my Space Mountain.
Now he's on to the next amusement park.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. You know, it was bound to happen.
Yeah.
Wait, you know what?
If it helps, you...
you always have a front-of-the-line pass
for ice cream, with me.
Thanks, Ruby. I appreciate that.
Okay.
Bye.
(sighs)
Curling?
Seriously?
Anything played at a professional level
can be compelling.
Okay, Daddy, I know that you are still hurting over Emily,
but watching a bunch of Canadians
chase after a weird thingy over ice
with a bunch of brooms is not the answer.
That weird "thingy" is called a stone...
I don't care.
Listen, what I meant was,
is that sometimes in order to heal
you have to just get back out there
and push that old heartbreak aside.
Yeah, like a curling stone.
Okay, you need to turn that thing off.
Right now.
Sweetie...
Daddy, we are Breelands, okay?
And Breelands do not give up.
Which means you, Brick Breeland,
hottest commodity in the over-40 category,
are going to enter a basket
in tomorrow's bachelor auction.
And I...
(laughs)
Do we have a deal?
Mwah!
♪ ♪
W...
Wow, I was just coming over to talk to you.
Well, I-I saved you the commute. (laughs)
'Cause the thing is, uh...
well... you know that expression, "Evolve or die"?
Okay, look, I know what you're going to say...
I-I know I've been acting
kind of weird recently, all right?
And-and I've been... I've been thinking a lot...
Look, I appreciate you trying to spell it out for me...
I think we should go on a real date.
A real huh?
I-I know there's a whole, like, Olympic gymnastics routine
going in your head right now,
and you're thinking you should probably consult with Lavon
and half the town of BlueBell and...
I don't know, the pope or whatever...
Just don't talk.
Point is,
if you want to go on a date with me, just...
bid on my basket at the auction tomorrow.
I figure it's a perfect way to go on a first date,
pressure-free.
You can just look at it as an opportunity to, uh...
test-drive.
You know, kick the tires, rev the engine,
take 'er for a spin.
Yeah.
Come to the auction tomorrow, Doc.

(car horn honks)
(seagulls calling)
(birds singing)
(clears throat) Hey, Wade.
Hey, man, you got a second?
Tucker, haven't seen you in a while.
How goes things with Tansy?
Well, actually, about that,
I don't know.
But I'm hoping
that she'll bid on my basket today.
So I was hoping that you might be able to, uh,
I don't know, kind of tell me
the kind of things that she likes?
Well, I can, but, uh,
I don't think they're very "George Tucker."
Okay, how about we just pretend it's opposite day?
All right.
Wait, does that mean it's not opposite day?
Just start talking.
Things were going so well.
If it isn't broken, why fix it?
So it's not broken?
Oh, no, it is.
Apparently, I have to.
"Evolve or die."
Says who?
Crocodiles have evolved hardly at all,
and crocodiles are awesome.
Why can't some things just stay the same?
'Cause I don't want this wart anymore.
Brick?
Hypothetically speaking,
if two people are completely different
and never do anything but fight,
is there possible chance at a romantic future?
Dr. Hart, are you asking me out?
No.
(bell dinging)
DASH: Okay, ladies and gentlemen,
the auction is about to begin.
Will all the bachelors please report
to the bachelor corral?
Sweetie pie, I don't know about this.
I don't like the idea of being bid on like cattle.
Oh, come on.
It'll be fun,
and we are opening ourselves up to opportunities.
Remember?
Moo.
(laughs)
Lemon.
Walt.
What a surprise.
I heard about the fund-raiser, thought I'd do my part.
Oh, you want to help the arts?
No, I want to help me.
Listen, that night we met in Mobile,
I know the timing might not have been right,
but everything else was...
Anyway, I just thought this might be a chance to try again.
You planning to bid
on a basket?
Well, as a matter of fact, I am.
Well, I don't want to ruin the fun,
but if you like hazelnut truffles,
you can bid on mine.
Or if you like orthodontists.
Either or.
Oh, Tansy.
Tansy, hey.
I just wanted to let you know that, uh,
George Tucker is not who you think he is.
Hey, Lavon, you seen Zoe around?
No.
No, she called me a few times today,
but I ain't spoken to her.
You need something?
No, no. I'm good.
(gavel bangs)
Ladies, it is now time to open up
your hearts and your pocketbooks
as we begin the bidding with picnic basket
number one.
That one's mine.
Now, a date
with this charming BlueBell beau
comes with two homemade bologna sandwiches.
Ten dollars right here.
Anyone want to bid against me, bring it on.
I will kick your ***.
And sold
to Miss Wanda Lewis.
(screams)
Okay.
Next is picnic basket number two.
Now, a date with this bachelor
boasts a delectable lunch
of homemade crab cakes, fresh corn salad,
and cherry crumble pie.
Ten dollars.
Oh, you have got to be kidding me.
A very enthusiastic ten dollars.
Do I hear $15?
George, isn't that that girl that you dated
after you broke up with Lemon?
Yep.
If you like shopping, you're in luck.
Going twice.
Sold for $30.
A date with BlueBell's very own...
Dr. Brick Breeland.
All right, ladies,
give it up for basket number three.
This bachelor seems to have...
Ruby!
Ruby, I've been trying to reach you all day.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I've been in escrow hell on my apartment in Dallas.
It turns out
that Wade isn't bored with ZoeLand.
He wants to go on a date.
That's good news, right?
No. He wants to go on a date,
which means he wants a real relationship, you know?
He asked me to bid on his basket and I'm freaking out.
Okay, listen, Zoe, this is the natural progression
of relationships.
They move forward.
Yes, I evolve.
And he wants to evolve
with you; it's nice.
No, because we cannot evolve normally.
We're like those freaky
six-legged frogs that they find in polluted waters.
Why?
Because what would a date between us even look like?
What would we talk about?
I mean, look at his stupid basket.
What kind of guy tries to woo a woman
Oh, no, no, no.
Lavon's basket.
I forgot to look and see what's in it.
You know, no.
We're done with you, okay?
Right now you need to find out
which basket is Lavon's, come on.
Now, this bachelor would love to wine and dine you
with taquitos
from Jimmy Rae's Mexican Stand in Mobile,
cherry strudel, and a...
and a blow dryer.
Why would you need a blow dryer on a picnic?
Wait, do I need a blow dryer?
What kind of man would put Mexican food with strudel?
I don't know,
but I intend to find out.
Ten dollars!
I hear ten dollars.
Do I hear $15?
$15.
$15.
$30.
$30, a woman who knows
exactly what she wants.
$30, going once,
going twice,
sold to Miss Tansy Truitt.
For $30,
a date with Mr. George Tucker.
Thank you, Lemon.
I just won a date with a girl who can't wait
to show me the app she uses to organize her closet.
I'm sorry, Daddy,
but just try and think of her as practice
for a future actual date, and then... and remember
to use really small words.
See, these are all my strappy sandals,
and these are my boots.
Come on, I'll help you
download one of these puppies for yourself.
Oh.
Goody goody.
And without further ado, on to picnic basket
number five,
with a bottle of Merlot,
a pasta salad,
and hazelnut truffles.
Ten dollars.
I have ten dollars.
Do I hear $15?
I had hazelnut truffles in my basket, too.
Whose basket is that?
Mine.
Where's Ruby?
Okay, he knows I love hazelnut truffles.
Ooh, look, this must be the basket.
Okay, what if someone else
has hazelnut truffles in their basket?
You know, they were a special at the bakery, so...
I know this is gonna be the one, okay?
I'm just, I'm going with it, all right?
WOMAN: $30!
DASH: Do I hear $35?
$35?
$35, $35.
$35.
$35.
Going once.
$35, going twice.
Sold to the lovely Miss Lemon Breeland,
a picnic date with, uh...
oh, Mayor Lavon Hayes.
Oh, crap.
Lemon?
Lavon?
What just happened?
DASH: All right.
All right.
Another happy couple.
Now, moving on to basket number six.
And a very creative fella,
as we can see.
That's Wade's basket.
I got to give Wade credit
for upgrading from a burlap sack.
Ten dollars!
DASH: Ten dollars
for the lovely Miss Carrie Swain.
Do I hear...
Well, then, may the best woman win.
20 bucks!
Ruby, I don't know what to do.
Look, I got my own mess to clean up, okay?
But the way I see it, you only have two options.
You're right. What are they?
Bid on Wade's basket and keep seeing him,
or don't bid and you two are through.
$25.
$25.
Magnolia Breeland,
as if I don't have my own problems.
Daddy strictly forbade you from bidding on a date.
You are too young.
$30!
DASH: $30.
$35.
I gave you that money to buy school shoes,
not to buy Wade Kinsella.
$35 going once.
Evolve or die.
$35 going twice.
And Wade Kinsella's bas...
...is sold
to Miss Magnolia Breeland.
(applause)
(sighs)
Wade, I am so sorry.
I was just about to bid
on your basket, I swear.
You know what, when I asked you out,
I pictured several outcomes, none of which
was my going out on a date with Magnolia Breeland.
I know, look,
how about we go on a date after your picnic?
I mean, Magnolia must have a curfew, right?
I'm busy later, all right?
All right, you know what, forget Magnolia.
This picnic is the date that you asked me on,
and it's the one we're going on.
So just wait.
(sighs)
George Tucker, you stacked your basket so I'd bid on it.
Yeah, I rigged the game.
I throw myself on the mercy of the court.
So yesterday,
the girl you wanted a date with was me?
Guess George Tucker's not as predictable as you thought, huh?
(giggles)
I don't know what happened.
I'm so sorry.
How could you forget to look at my basket at home?
I've just been so distracted with this whole escrow thing.
The Dallas apartment?
Yeah, I should have known.
Lemon's a good sport.
Well, she's not, but I'm sure if you explain what happened,
she'll step aside and let us go out on our date.
No, it's against the rules.
As mayor, I have to set a good example and all,
so...
Okay. Of course.
Well, then, I guess I'll just see you tonight.
Uh, weird, huh?
What the heck?
Let's have a meal, huh?
As friends.
Why not?
As friends.
Oh, and I can't sit on the ground
'cause of my new titanium hip.
Yes, ma'am, you mentioned that.
Come on, 50 bucks
and I will do your chemistry homework for a month.
100 bucks plus geometry, and you have
to convince my daddy to let me have a tattoo.
And when the time comes,
Dream on.
Front row tickets to Taylor Swift next month,
I will drive you so you don't have to go with your dad.
Plus, I won't tell your dad that you bid on
Wade's basket, which will spare you
from a month of being grounded.
You wait in the parking lot at Taylor Swift.
Deal.
So... shall we?
So, like I said,
I-I was planning to have this picnic with Ruby.
Yes, like you said several times.
What is it about the silly picnic
that's got you all...
Wow.
So, like I said...
What is she, like, the queen of the fairies or something?
I mean...
Ruby is one lucky woman.
I mean, it's so thoughtful and romantic.
You should've seen it before I downsized.
I had this whole... gondola theme going.
A gondola?
With a gondolier?
Yeah.
(sighs)
Hey.
Sorry.
I just had to pop into the doctor's office
to go to the little girl's room.
No problem.
Uh... after you.
Why, thank you.
(clears throat)
Look what I found in the office.
The Book of Amazing Facts and Feats.
Wow.
(laughs)
Uh, you planning on giving me a shot, or...
No.
Okay, but listen.
Do you know the world record for a guy walking on his hands?
870 miles.
I mean, why would anyone want to do that?
I... I don't know.
Why would anyone
bring a book on a date?
No reason.
It's a joke.
Who needs a book?
We can have a normal conversation,
people do it all the time.
I mean... it's just talking, right?
I mean, they teach parrots to do it.
Parrots can talk.
Have you heard about those six-legged frogs
they sometimes find in polluted waters?
(clears throat)
Mmm...
You know, I have never had this brand of cracker before.
They're very crisp.
Well, I know you like the ones with, uh, stuff in 'em.
Well, these got, uh, cracked pepper
Okay. Enough.
You know?
We have been talking about crackers for three minutes!
Uh...
Look, we are acting all nervous, but there's no reason to be.
No, I know.
I mean, it... there's no reason to be, right?
I mean, we have seen each other naked, and way more.
Yeah.
Hey, how about some wine?
You have alcohol?
Why did we not start with this?
Uh...
Crap.
What?
I don't have a corkscrew.
You telling me I could put together an entire outfit
without even looking inside my closet?
That's how I picked out what I'm wearing today.
No, yeah.
I was like, okay...
dress, boom... sweater, bam.
Shoes...
voilà. Here I am.
(laughs)
That is amazing, what can be done.
I'm sorry, you can't be all that interested in
Well, no, no...
I also have an app for hair.
I'm just kidding, I don't.
But look.
Fireflies.
Oh...
(laughs)
Can I have your corkscrew?
Well, not now.
We haven't even used it yet.
Well, can you use it real quick so I can have it? I'll wait.
We're trying to have a date here.
ZOE: Come on.
I'll take the next two overnight shifts at the office.
Make it three, and you got a deal.
Man, you Breelands are hard-***.
Seriously?
A taquito-strudel sandwich?
Come on. Just try it.
Okay.
Mm.
Mm...
Uh-uh.
No. Nope. Uh-uh.
Oh, my God.
No.
I just wanted to see if I could get you to eat it.
Mm-hmm.
(laughing)
Oh... Very humorous.
Ah...
(laughing)
So...
We have, uh, successfully conquered
the heights of BlueBell.
What's the next
unpredictable thing you want to do?
You want to... want to sneak into the church?
Rearrange Reverend Mayfair's Bibles?
Were you serious about that?
Wanting to do something unpredictable?
Good.
'Cause we're gonna steal a dog.
(chuckles)
It's like I think if I don't mention
Ruby's leaving, she won't.
But she is.
She bought an apartment.
Bought.
How is this gonna work?
Listen, Lavon, I know that it's hard,
but if you really care about her, you'll make it work.
(romantic violin music plays)
Oh, man.
I really hope that violin music is playing in my head.
Nope.
Forgot to cancel that.
Yeah.
(chuckling)
Oh, gentlemen, my apologies. Uh,
the serenade is off, b-but thank you.
Yes, thank you.
Such a beautiful signora.
You pay for an hour,
Oh, no. (chuckles)
No, we won't be needing
your services at all.
MAN: Si, signore,
we play until you dance.
(chuckling)
No.
the Tridacna derasa, found in the South Pacific.
Can I just say, it's no wonder
kids let you give 'em a shot,
'cause they just want you to shut up.
Hey!
(laughing)
Hey, Tucker,
where you guys going?
Uh, apparently to steal a dog,
I-I think.
Wow. Good ol' Tansy.
Keeping Georgie-boy
on his toes.
You know, this blind auction
throws together the wackiest couples.
Oh, they didn't get thrown together.
Th-They're dating.
They're what?
Yeah. No, I mean, I'm okay with it.
You know, he asked my permission and all, so...
(scoffs)
Oh, wait.
No, Wade, stop.
This is not about me being jealous,
okay? I'm just surprised because George said
that he was, you know, gonna start dating girls
that were serious contenders.
And now Tansy? Come on, I give it a week.
And why is that?
Because they're-they're just so different, you know?
Tansy's the type of girl that goes to
Monster Truck Madness with guys named Colt,
aka Todd Gainey Jr.
So what you're saying is...
if two people don't have much in common, they...
they can't make it as a couple.
That's good to know.
What, because, you know,
if George and Tansy can't make it, then, uh...
Well, what are you doing, you know?
You asked me on this date,
Yeah, and you
brought a book along 'cause you didn't
think we'd have anything to talk about.
And I was... I was totally wrong.
We had, um...
crackers.
You know... Why'd you even agree to this?
Why did you push for it to happen?
You know, everything was fine. I was happy!
Yeah, well, I wasn't happy.
Maybe I wasn't happy
What?
You know what, forget it, all right?
I don't want to evolve.
Excuse me, Doc, I-I'm going back
to my cave, all right? I'm out.
baby, just sit tight!
Mama's coming for you.
When you said steal a dog,
I guess it sounded like wacky fun, but this is...
this is turning into breaking and entering.
You said you wanted to be less predictable.
Yeah, less predictable...
Uh, well, can you please
stop before this date becomes a legal consultation?
If I get arrested, will you be my lawyer?
That'd be so cute! (chuckles)
Okay, back up, baby. Back up, baby!
Okay, wait, wait.
Wait. Wait.
For the record, this is
Yeah.
But you are a lady.
And since I am clearly
going to be an accessory
to this crime,
well, then...
BlueBell
can kiss my predictable
***.
Lavon, it's me.
It's one thing to blow off my calls for Ruby but for a picnic
with Lemon?
Anyway, things got
really weird on my date with Wade and I really...
TANSY: Dr. Hart.
We need your help.
And they just got weirder.
H...
(chuckles) Don't ask.
(romantic violin music playing)
(laughing)
(chuckling)
You know, sometimes I...
think about the time we had together.
So many good things,
mixed with all that...
pain.
But I want you to know
I don't regret one minute.
No.
You, Lemon Breeland, were my first true love.
And I'll never forget you.
And to be honest,
me being with Ruby, I...
Well, I owe that to you.
Really?
How's that?
You opened my eyes.
Taught me what a real relationship could be.
I think that's why I'm acting
so crazy with Ruby and afraid of her leaving...
'cause I know that we, we have something real.
Uh...
I have no doubt in my mind that you, Lavon Hayes,
will find true happiness.
As will I.
So I thank you for the lunch
and for the dance.
It was lovely.
So let me get this straight.
You committed a misdemeanor to steal a dog?
George Tucker, the lawyer?
Actually, it's a Class C felony.
Oh! Nice!
So you have dated Tansy for all of about five minutes,
and you're already a wisecracking wheelman in a gangster movie!
Doesn't anyone just want to stay who they are?
Okay, look, I know that stealing a dog's
a little bit crazy, but I gotta admit it was kinda fun.
Give me back my dog, you thief!
Oh, goody, more fun.
You can't take her!
She doesn't even like you!
Look!
That's just PTSD from her recent abduction!
Now let go, or I'm calling the sheriff!
Okay, listen, Evelyn, there's no need to do that.
Let's just all take a deep breath and calm down.
Just a little bit.
Who the hell are you?
And why do you know my name?
Because... I, I'm Miss, Miss Kinsella's, Kinsella's...?
Truitt. I went back to my real name.
Oh. Because I'm Miss Truitt's lawyer, and she has
retained me to settle this matter once and for all.
Now, who paid the adoption fees for this dog?
I did. Miss Truitt.
Okay, well, then, Evelyn,
you and I would have to be both blind
and deaf to not agree
that clearly, Dolly Parton wishes to return to Tansy.
Which makes this dog an animus revertendi.
I was told it was mostly pit bull.
Under Alabama state law, any animal who has a habit
of returning to its owner-- as long as said owner has
established care and responsibility
for the animal-- which paying the adoption fees
clearly does-- well, then that animal is deemed to be
the sole property of said owner.
Meaning what, exactly?
Meaning give me back my freaking dog!
Put succinctly, yes.
You know what?
You can keep your damn mutt!
I got Todd Gainey Jr.
(laughs) Double win!
Oh!
(sobbing)
TANSY: Oh, my God, that was amazing!
(George chuckles)
(chuckles)
Don't worry, you're next!
Was any of that actually true?
Ah, well, you know, the law's a living document, all that.
(chuckles)
So, maybe "wisecracking wheelman" suits you.
You two actually make a nice picture.
Yeah. Yeah, it's not a picture I ever... pictured, but...
Yeah, she does bring out a side of you.
She does, doesn't she?
Maybe that's it;
maybe life's not a picture. Maybe it's a movie.
And I, for one, am curious to see how this one ends.
This is Dolly Parton!

Yes, it's addictive.
Listen, thank you so much for the education.
Well, just because school's out

our Shakespeare theme. (chuckles)
I wonder if tonight matched up any
star-crossed lovers.
It's hard to say.
How was your date? Any sparks fly with Delma?
Only when her new hip grazed the water fountain.
(laughs)
What about you?
How was your date with the mayor?
It was fine.
Mayor Hayes and I are friends,
but we both belonged, um... elsewhere.
Glad to hear it.
Well, seeing as how we've both managed
to free ourselves and the night is young...
would you care to join me for dessert?
Absolutely.

Hey, Z. Got your messages.
How was y'all's first date?
A disaster.
Maybe some people can overcome their differences,
but Wade and I...? I shouldn't have gone.
Why does everyone have to change, you know?
I changed my whole life to come here.
Isn't that enough?
I need one of those remote controls
where you can pause life,
to make everyone stop where they are.
Those don't exist, you know?

Hey.

Lavon, I know you're freaking out about me going to Dallas.
Yeah.
But do you want to know why I'm not?
'Cause I know we have what it takes to make it.
And that long-distance thing,
it's, it's not gonna change that.
I'm sure of it.
I hope so.
I realized something tonight, that, um...
(chuckles)
I love you.
(chuckles)
Um...
I love you, too.
