All language subtitles for Hot in Cleveland (2010) - S02E04 - Sisterhood of the Traveling SPANX (1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 Silence).eng

- hot in cleveland is recorded

In front
Of a live studio audience.

- where do I begin?

My business is in shambles.

I'm about to be deported.

My fake fiance dumped me,

So I can't even keep
A phony relationship going.

Oh, and yesterday
I lost a tooth.

No warning,
Just sneezed...

My upper-right molar flew out,
Landed in my purse.

So be honest.

Do you think I'm projecting
Feelings of insecurity

Because
I'm clinically codependent?

- I think this works better
If you come closer

To the crystal ball.

- no offense,
But I can't stare

At that ridiculous ball.

- no problem.
We go off the ball.

Now, I give you
Something to help,

But you have
To keep open mind.

They are spanx.

- spanx?

I'm confused,
Not to mention offended.

- these not ordinary spanx...

Magic spanx.

They shape and control...

The future.

- right.
Magic spanx.

Do you validate parking?

Because I'd like to get
Something out of this.

"Cute oliver."

"Cute oliver"?

Oh, my god.
Cute oliver...

The guy I met at the market
A few months ago.

- spanx is working.

- hello.
Yes, this is joy.

Of course I remember you...

Tall, brown eyes,
Wobbly wheel on your cart.

Oh.

Saturday night.

Brilliant.

I will see you then.
Bye.

- $300.

- $300 for a pair of spanx?

- I'll save them
For the next customer.

- do psychics take
Credit cards?

- anything but discover.

- these things have brought us
Nothing but misery.

I say we burn them.

- ooh, I don't know.
Do you think it's legal?

You can't burn leaves anymore.

- oh, please.

You can burn anything.

I once set fire
To ryan o'neal's porsche.

Well, he wasn't in it.

- cincinnati blows!

- oh, indians lose again?

- ugh.

We got swept by the reds...

Stupid interleague play.

- I bet all the ladies
From the senior center

Were pretty bummed
On the bus ride home, huh?

- there were more balled-up
Tissues on that floor

Than in a teenage boy's
Bedroom.

- elka!

- what?

Teenagers cry a lot...

'cause they want it so bad,

And they're
Just not getting any.

- listen...

I know it's not a great time
To be a fan,

But come on.

You are a grady's lady.

And win or lose,
Grady sizemore is still

One of the best-looking
Players around, right?

- he did help me learn
How to use google images.

So what are you
Three bats doing

Flapping around the fireplace?

- we were about
To set these ablaze.

- you're burning a girdle?

- it's not a girdle.

- well, it looks
Like a girdle.

- no, it's spanx.
It's a shaper.

- so it's a girdle.

- it's a compression garment
That makes a smooth line

Under your clothes.

- oh.

Oh, I have a compression garment
Like that.

It's called a girdle.

- so why do you have
To burn the spanx?

- I was so desperate
For advice,

I went to a psychic,
And she swore

These would bring me luck,
But they didn't.

- well, obviously, the only
Authentic psychics are in l.A.

- I know it's silly,
But the moment I touched these,

This guy I'd been dying
To hear from suddenly called.

We made a date,
I slipped on the magic spanx,

And I truly believed things
Were finally

Going to turn around for me.

- I like where this is heading.

- joy?

- oliver.

Wow. A tux.

And I was worried
I was overdressed.

- no, you look great.

Um, please come in.

- I'm so glad
This finally happened.

- joy, this is awkward.

I think on the day we met
At the market,

I met another lady,
A young lady,

Not that you're not young.

But I'm looking
For a babysitter

For my three-year-old son,
And I think

I wrote down her number
Next to yours,

So when I called you...

- you were looking
For a babysitter.

- I am so sorry.

You know, I didn't remember
The babysitter

Having an english accent,
But then I thought, "Great.

She sounds just
Like mary poppins."

- yes, well,
It's gonna take more

Than a spoonful of sugar
To make this one go down.

- I am so sorry, and I...

I know this
Is out of line,

But would you consider
Staying anyway?

I wouldn't ask,
But I'm in a bind.

Tonight's a really
Big night for me.

I'm proposing
To my girlfriend.

Could this possibly
Get any worse?

- oh, you're right.
You're right.

This isn't fair.

I shouldn't ask you to stay.

I'm just gonna call
The restaurant.

Probably can't stop
The fireworks, but, uh...

- oh, all right.
I'm here.

I might as well stay.

- oh, thank you.

Thank you.
I'm just so nervous

About the proposal.

I've been practicing all day.

And, uh, would you mind
If I run it by you?

You're not joking.

Okay, fine.

- my darling, angelique.

- "Angelique."

- before I ever laid
Eyes on you,

My life was filled with love,
Laughter, and song.

- well, that's pretty.

- and then I saw your face,

And I knew I'd never
Heard music,

Never laughed, never truly loved
Until that moment.

- I like that bit as well.

- my darling, darling...

- joy.
- angelique...

Will you marry me?

- I will.

I do.
I shall.

- okay!

I'm feeling
Much more confident now.

All right, so listen.

Jacob's pull-ups are
In the bathroom cabinet.

He's pretty much
Potty trained now,

But he still likes
To wear one on his head.

- ha.
Who doesn't?

- hey, jacob, come on out
And meet your babysitter.

- what happened
To pretty cindy?

- oh, sorry, kid.

- yes, tonight,
You're stuck with

"Why did I buy a new dress"
Joy.

- oh, how humiliating.

Tell it again.

Oh, okay, fine.

So what did the spanx
Do to you?

- well, not to belittle
Your experience, joy,

But your experience is
So much smaller than mine was.

So it was still a few days
Before joy needed the spanx,

So I thought, "Well,
I'm poor and out of work.

That's the perfect time
To believe in magic."

Within an hour
Of putting them on,

My agent called me
With an audition in new york

For a major motion picture.

Oh, amanda.

Of course I'll forgive you.

No matter what you do,

You'll always be
My little girl.

Hello?

- oh, hi.
Perfect timing.

Melanie,
This is victoria chase.

Victoria, you must know
Melanie griffith.

- of course.
Melanie, we've never met,

But I love your work.
- I love your work.

- and I love your shoes.
- and I love your shoes.

- and I love my shoes.

Why don't I start
The tape rolling

So you two can read
Together?

- okay.
- read together?

- yeah, I'm amanda.

I'll be playing your daughter
In the movie.

- you're playing my dau...

You're playing my daughter?

Obviously, there has been
Some sort of mistake.

- what kind of mistake?

- melanie,

You're a beautiful,
Talented woman,

But I am not sure
That an audience

Would buy you as my daughter.

I mean, come on.

Look at us.
We're virtually the same age.

Okay, good.
Fine. Wonderful.

Let's just jump right in.

- okay.

Oh, amanda.

Of course I'll forgive you.

No matter what you do,
You'll always be my little...

My little...

You caught me.

You see, I didn't actually
Read the script.

um, is this some sort
Of avatar, cgi thing?

Perhaps we're both green
With tails.

- no.
- I see.

Then am I getting punked?
Should I act surprised?

- no.

- c'est une comedie grotesque?

- you mean the french conceit
Where the roles of the play

Are cast with the most
Unsuitable actors possible?

No.

- let's just run the scene

And try to have fun
With it, okay?

Melanie, why don't you start?

- all right.

Mother, there's nothing left
For me in gatorsburg,

But if I leave, will you ever
Be able to forgive me?

Oh, amanda...

Of course I'll forgive you.

No matter what you do here...

- victoria,
Just read it normally.

- normally?

Why, whatever do you mean?

- he means just use
Your regular voice.

You know, my own mother is only
A few years older than you.

You take that back.

Nobody knows how old I am.

I am an evergreen.

- well, maybe we should just
Cut you in half

And count the rings.

- you know, it is just
So crazy to think

That anyone with eyes
Could believe that I bore you.

- actually, you do bore me.

- how dare you?

You busty,
Bleach-blonde bombshell.

- hey, I am a natural blonde.

But while we're
On the subject,

You might want to rethink
Those gray hairs

That you're passing off
As highlights.

- I bet the only magazine
You ever read is highlights.

- ooh.
Nice comeback...

Mommy.

Don't you walk away from me.

- ah-ya!

You forget that I did
All my own stunts

in crazy in alabama.

- and you forget a little
Lifetime original movie

called soccer mom ninja.

- ah!

- so clearly,
I have been cursed

By these stupid spanx.

Now all over show business,
Victoria chase

Is known as
A "Difficult actress."

- to watch?

- oh, elka.

Dear, sweet,
Shar-pei in a sweatshirt elka.

- so what do you blame
The girdle for?

- oh, well, in my case,
I just wanted

To look better in the dress
I was wearing.

See, I've had my eye on
This cute guy for a few weeks,

And he goes into stormi's
Every saturday,

So I thought I would take
The spanx out for a stroll.

- hi.
Is this seat taken?

- uh, no.

Although I keep
Putting my coat on it

And taking my coat back off
And putting it back on again.

I'm sort of saving it
For this cute guy over there

Who doesn't even know I exist.

And why am I still talking?

You just want to sit.
I'm sorry.

Sit, please.

- thanks.

You know, I'm kind of here
For the same reason.

There's this really cute guy
I've been watching.

- oh, no.

Does he look like rob lowe,

Only blonder and,
Ironically, smarter?

Is he playing darts over there?

Please tell me
He's not playing darts.

- no, it's the bartender.

- ben!

Oh, we always thought
He was gay.

But you just go for it.

Would you like me
To introduce you?

Because we're sort of friends.
- oh, no. I'm way too shy,

Which is why
I wrote him this note.

Maybe you could give it
To him for me.

I mean, kind of romantic,
Right?

- oh, yeah.
Sure...

In a third grade
Sort of way.

Ben, if I had a note
From somebody who liked you,

Would you be hoping it was
From a girl or a guy?

- that depends
On what it says.

- here.

What?
What are you doing?

Ben?

"Empty the cash register.
I have a gun"?

That's not very romantic.

Oh!
Ooh.

- thanks.

And good luck with your guy.
- oh, thank...

- let me through!
I'm a doctor!

- a doctor?

I mean, help her!

Somebody call an ambulance!

Stat!

- thanks.

- I need more
Than these napkins

To make a tourniquet.

I need something
With compression.

Does anybody here have anything
That's strong and stretchy?

It's a matter
Of life or death!

- I have something
That can help.

But you have to turn away.

I said turn away.

- you know, these spanx
Really look great

While you're wearing 'em,

But they
Are not pretty to take off.

I mean, as soon as you
Roll down the waistband,

This creates this totally
Unnatural spillage, right?

It's like your stomach
Is a volcano,

And layers of molten lava

Was just, like,
Flapping over the top.

- okay, I've heard enough.

Stop blaming
An innocent girdle.

You're desperate.

You're vain.

And you're gullible.

- I say we burn her too.

Oh, right after I speak
To my agent.

Here.

- oh, I'll get it.

Oh, hi.
It's you.

Dr..."I'm a doctor."

Yeah, I'm sorry. Actually,
I don't know your name.

- I'm aaron.
- I'm...

- melanie hope moretti.

I have your wallet.
- oh.

- you must have dropped it

When you were trying
To give me your girdle.

- spanx.

- you're welcome.

Anyway, your license
Had your address...

- oh!
You saw my license?

I mean, yeah, sure,
The address is correct,

But, you know,
The weight and the age,

It's totally typos.

And that picture.

- that picture's adorable.

- oh, stop it.

You're just saying that.

Say it again.

- okay, how about
Over dinner this week?

- well,
That would be perfect,

Because I'm gonna be hungry
This week.

- I'll call you tomorrow.
- I'll answer tomorrow.

And I'll stop doing that.

Don't burn the spanx.

I just got a date
With the dreamy doctor.

- and I just got a job.

The videotape of my tussle
With melanie griffith

Made the rounds of a few
Prominent casting directors,

And I have been offered
A star turn

on all my children opposite...

Susan lucci.

- will you be playing
Her mother too?

- no.

I am going to chew her up
And spit her out

And hope there's a mouthwash
Strong enough

To get the taste of bitch
Out of my mouth.

I am back!

- congrats.

Let's celebrate this
With a glass of wine

In front of a roaring fire
Of spanx.

- no!
I need those for my date.

- I'll buy you a new pair
With my babysitting money.

Where are my matches?

Jacob.

- what is it?

- the little boy I babysat for
Drew this picture of me.

- oh, it's a smiley face.

- he got the stick-figure
Part right.

- well, it's not very good.

- he's just three.

- so how come you're smiling
In that picture

If you had such
A terrible time?

- it wasn't terrible.

To be honest, jacob and I had
A wonderful evening together.

"Sweet dreams, mr. Moon.

"Sweet dreams, mr. Star.

"Sweet dreams, mr. Comet,
Wherever you are.

"Sweet dreams, little truck.

Sweet dreams, little duck."

Good god,
This book is tedious,

Don't you think, jacob?

And perhaps that's the point.

This is silly.

I took care of a little boy.

It was fine.
Now it's over.

- are you sure?

- no.

I'm not.

- you know,
They say the urge to mother

Is purely chemical.

Your body tells you
It's ready,

So you get knocked up,
And then you spit one out.

That's how it happened
Both times for me.

- victoria, you have
Three children.

- I know I have a grown son
Out there somewhere,

But I didn't raise him.

And before it's too late,
I'd like to raise a child

Of my own.

I think I might be good at it.

- I bet
You would be good at it.

- and?

- no "And."

Just take the compliment.

- elka's right.

You would make a great mom.

You're responsible.
You're fun.

You're caring.

- so how long we gonna
Yank her chain?

You're too old.

- well, it's not impossible.

The scroggs women are famous
For having babies

Later in life,
And there's always adoption.

- yeah, you gave one away.
You deserve one back.

You know, it's like
The give-a-penny,

Take-a-penny tray
At the gas station.

- I know the timing
Couldn't be worse

For me to come
To this epiphany,

But the thought
Of it makes me happy.

Maybe these turned out
To be lucky for me too.

- my turn.

- wait a minute.

I thought you didn't believe
In magic.

- desperate times call
For desperate measures.

- it says here that it takes

An average of 22 months for
A woman over 40 to get pregnant.

- is that counting
The 18 months

It'll take you to find somebody
Willing to go there?

Oh, look.
Here we go.

Grady's up to bat.

- bam! Wow!

Grady sizemore's having
Some kind of game.

That's three home runs today.

And is it just me,
Or does grady's uniform

Look a little smoother
Than usual?

I mean, I cannot see a line.

- that's right.

I spanx'd him.
