- Bobbie.

You haveto get her to stop labeling the citrus wrong.

- If an orange can be called an orange,

then a lemon can be called a yellow.

- What I'd give for one normal opening shift.

- Bobbie, can you come in here, please?

- Thank you, Lord.

- Surprise! - [screams]

- [laughs] Gotcha.

- What's going on?

- Our six-month anniversary of finding out we're sisters.

I sent you a calendar invite, remember?

- Yeah, I remember.

Yeah, I--I-- I read all your emails.

I even read the ones when I'm sitting over there

and you're sitting right here.

- Yeah. [chuckles]

I hope you like your gift.

Who knew it would be so hard to make something?

- Oh, let's see what this puppy is.

It's a mug that says "Ters" on it.

- And I have "Sis."

Sisters mugs!

- Aw, would you look at that?

- So I know it's only been six months,

but I wanted to give you something

that says my sister is bold, brave, beautiful,

more than anyone could ever want,

and I'm so happy we share DNA!

- It says all that in this little old mug?

- Yeah.

And it says, "Made by Isabella" on the bottom.

- Oh. [laughs]

- Do you like them?

- I love 'em, I love 'em. They're so cute.

It's just that I feel horrible I didn't get you anything.

- Oh. You didn't get me anything?

- No. - That's OK. It's dumb.

These are dumb.

- No, it's not.

Not--no--I--I'm kidding.

Course I got you something.

- Really? - Yeah.

It's just that I'm a--

I'm not a morning gift giver.

I'm a nighttime gift giver.

So you better be ready later, little missy,

'cause you're going to love it.

- Ah, I can't wait!

Sisters! [laughs]

- [laughs]

Crap.

- * Sometimes it feels like a big ol' fight *

* To get through the day *

* And sleep on through the night *

* But here you'll find a place *

* That'll surely lift your spirits *

* You belong at Happy's Place *

- Hey, Steve. You're good with computers.

I want to order this and have it delivered tonight, but look.

See? They won't let me.

- OK, you're not having a computer problem,

you're having a problem with the concept of time.

And I cannot help you with that.

- I mean, this is a nightmare.

- Hey, what's going on?

Bobbie, are you OK?

Did you get hacked?

Did somebody steal your identity?

- Calm down.

He said, knowing she could never.

She has to buy Isabella a last-minute gift.

- Oh.

Is this what you're thinking?

- Yeah, it's one of those plug-in slideshow frames.

I'm gonna put pictures of the both of us in it.

Cute, right?

- So you're getting her an iPhone?

But it can't make calls or look things up

and it has to be plugged into a wall.

- Well, you're a lot of help.

- No, listen.

Young people don't consider stuff thoughtful.

- Oh, really?

Well, I've got a homemade mug in there that begs to differ.

- Well, that's just because Isabella knows you're old.

...er than her.

Yeah.

Her generation, which I'm basically in--

[Steve groans] - Deh!

Values experiences over anything else.

Like--like if I had a friend who could take her skydiving.

- Oh, my gosh, that would be amazing.

- I said like if I had a friend.

I don't.

- You could get a tattoo for Isabella.

- You think she'd like that?

- Well, she already has a couple of cool ones.

I mean, it seems very her.

- Oh, she's so brave.

I can't even hear the word needles.

[shudders]

- I didn't know you had irrational fears, too.

That's fun for me to know.

- I think a tattoo would be the excellent anniversary gift.

Look at me, coming up with an idea as thoughtful as the mugs.

- I mean, I came up with it.

- And I pay you, so zip it.

[upbeat music]

- Emmett.

Where is Emmett?

- What do you need? I can help.

- I need to know where Emmett is.

Unless you want to painstakingly go through

the stats of yesterday's game with me?

- I do not.

- There you are.

- Thanks for covering, Takoda.

- Hey, sure thing. - Where were you?

I've been looking for you for an hour.

- You found me. What do you want?

- Well, now I want to know where you were.

- Nowhere.

- What were you doing?

- Nothing.

- Did you notice the peanut oil is low?

- Would you two stop with the questions?

There are some things a man likes to keep private.

- That was weird.

- I shouldn't have shamed him about the peanut oil.

* *

- Nailed it.

Isabella, can you come in here, please?

- Surprise! - [screams]

- [laughs]

Did I get you? - Totally.

And I don't know how 'cause I could see you hiding.

- That's as low as my knees will let me go down.

[laughs]

OK, gift time. Open it up.

- [squeals] This is so exciting!

- OK, wait.

Some people may think that gift cards are very impersonal,

but they're wrong.

Gift cards can be a very personal gift.

- So it's a gift card.

- I'm not gonna tell you.

Open it.

- I wanted something that said,

"My sister is cool and colorful

and a permanent blessing in my life."

- A tattoo.

- I thought it could say "sisters," like our mugs.

- We're getting matching sister tattoos!

- We're getting what now?

- What a beautiful symbol of our relationship.

- Yeah, about that.

- I mean, all that pain I used to carry around about our dad,

I just--

I've struggled with abandonment issues my whole life.

So thanks for being the big sister

I've always wanted and helping me with that.

- That's just what I meant to do.

- Sisters! - Sisters!

.

- I think we should do a Celtic symbol.

Oh, like this one.

- The tree of life? - Mm-hmm.

- It looks a little big.

How about the leaf of life?

- You know what? I'll just make the appointment.

The pressure of a looming deadline will help us decide.

- OK, then. You go do that.

[chuckles]

- What the heck are you doing, lady?

- What does it look like?

I'm getting a tattoo with Isabella.

- What about your fear of needles?

I mean, you can't even get a flu shot without a Valium.

- I'm gonna get over it.

- How?

- Get me a needle.

- What do I look like, a nurse?

God, I'd be a sexy nurse.

When is Halloween this year?

- OK, so get me a toothpick.

- Why? - So I can stick myself.

That way, I can start small and work my way up to a needle.

- Bobbie, why don't you just tell Isabella

that you don't want to do this?

- Because I do want to do this.

It means the world to her.

I want to be the big sister she needs me to be.

Here she comes.

- [giggles]

Great news.

Usually, this place is booked for weeks.

But this guy canceled

because he got in a huge fight with his wife.

And now, there's two openings for tomorrow night.

Eek!

- Double eek! - [cheers]

- [squeals]

- [laughs]

- Ugh. - [sighs]

- 24 hours to get rid of a lifelong fear.

OK, here goes. - [sighs]

- Ow!

Dang it! Dang it! I hate it.

- Bobbie, if you really want to get over your fear,

I can help you.

- I can do it.

I can do it. - [sighs]

Ow!

[groans] I honestly don't know how olives do this.

* *

- [whispering] Hey, Steve, come here.

- What's with the whisper?

Are you playing hide-and-seek?

Bobbie said we couldn't.

- [whispering] Emmett's acting weird.

- So are you, sneaking around.

And cut it with the whispering.

- [normally] I overheard Emmett yelling on a phone

about some kind of an appointment.

It sounded like he was in trouble.

- Oh, no.

What if it's another health scare?

Or if he has a secret family?

Wait, that was Happy.

- I'm sure if Emmett needed help, he'd let us know.

[laughter]

- We have to save him.

- But we can't break into his locker, he's our friend.

- We haveto break into his locker becausehe's our friend.

- Ah, step aside.

- How did you know his combination?

- It's 1-2-3-4. Emmett's a simple guy.

- OK, you go through his stuff. I'll make sure he isn't coming.

- But what am I looking for?

- Pills, brass knuckles,

my coffee mug he loves but swears he didn't take.

- Uh, Steve?

- Yeah?

[laughter]

[bells chime]

- You are floating on a cool breeze,

far away from earthly fears.

[bells chime]

Far away from anything pointy.

[bells chime]

Or pokey.

[bells chime]

Needles.

You're far away from needles.

Now, take a deep breath in and out.

[bells chime]

OK, Bobbie, I need to hear you, OK?

Like this. [inhales deeply]

[exhales deeply]

Sorry, I had egg salad.

- Do you have a license to be doing something like this?

- No, but I took a Zoom class during the pandemic.

OK? Now close your eyes.

Come on.

[Bobbie clears throat]

All right.

Zibby zabby zobbie zoo.

Zabbie zabbie zoobie zoobie zah!

You are floating.

You are safe.

You're floating.

You are safe.

Bobbie, look.

[laughs] - What the heck?

- [gasps]

- You were poking me up a storm

and it didn't even bother me.

- See, now you can get that tattoo with Isabella.

Oh, man, I am talented.

And powerful.

- Yeah, you are. Huh.

- What? What is wrong?

- I--I don't know. I should be happy, but I'm not.

- Oh, quick, lay back down.

The Great Gabby has more work to do.

- No, no, no.

No, no.

It's not about the needle anymore.

It's...

it's about the tattoo.

I just don't want to get it.

- Why?

- I don't know. It doesn't feel right.

Oh, man, what am I gonna do?

Our appointment's tomorrow night.

- Bobbie, please.

Just tell Isabella that you can't do this.

- Oh, right, tell my baby sister,

who's just gotten over abandonment issues,

that I'm gonna abandon her?

- Oh, and get a tattoo, even though you don't want one?

[scoffs]

I've got a yin-yang on my hoo-ha

that says that's a bad idea!

- No. I'm gonna get out of this.

Gabby, clear your schedule.

[bells chime] - It's clear.

.

[locker slams]

- Doing all right, there, Emmett?

- I'm fine.

- Need any help? - Nope.

- Then I guess you're not looking for these?

- What the hell?

- Not at my spot.

- What is wrong with you?

- What is wrong with you?

Why didn't you just tell us you were taking tap lessons?

We were worried something bad was going on.

- Why do you two care so much?

- Because we're your friends, Emmett.

- Yeah, bro. Open up.

- [groans] Fine.

I wanted to learn how to tap since the first time I saw...

"Singin' in the Rain."

- Oh, my God.

- And if you two make fun of me, I swear,

I will tap dance on your graves.

- And I will come back from the dead to see it.

- I guess it was my health scare that was

the kick in the butt I needed to finally sign up for lessons.

- I think it's admirable what you're doing.

- Agreed.

Please continue your tap lessons in peace.

- Yeah, well...

I'm not taking tap lessons anymore.

- Why?

- I got kicked out.

Apparently, you're not allowed

to holler in the studio when you mess up.

The kids tell their moms.

- I'm sorry.

- I was trying to find these

so I could throw them away.

- Emmett, wait.

You're not the only one who's had an affair with...

dance.

[upbeat music]

- So why are you here again?

- Oh, she, uh...

she just wanted to come check the place out for us.

Yeah, you know these tattoo parlors can be kind of seedy.

Right, Gabby? - Oh, yeah.

Yeah, there is a danger element that you may not be aware of.

Oh, damn, this place is nice!

- Isn't it? It got great reviews online.

Except for this one guy

who was mad it rained the day he came in.

It's like, take it up with God. [chuckles]

I'm gonna go check us in.

[Bobbie laughs] - Oh, man.

This place is classier than where I get my mammograms.

The plan was for you to find something wrong with this place

so I had an excuse not to have to go through with this.

Quit saying it's nice.

- Well, I'm sorry, but this place is flawless.

The places I usually go get a tattoo are down by the docks

or under a bridge or in some guy named Terry's garage.

All right, so--so what should we do?

- You're gonna have to

find something wrong with the tattoo artist.

- Easy-peasy, yellowsqueezy.

Isabella told me that the guy's name is Maverick.

[scoffs] OK.

All right, there's definitely gonna be something off

about this guy.

[cheers and applause]

- Damn stroke.

Clean up on aisle five!

OK, who's my next victim?

- So you're Maverick?

- I am Maverick.

- He's Maverick! [laughs]

Which is so good and cool.

- There something wrong?

- [chuckling] No.

Nothing I can say out loud.

Gabby, thoughts?

- Everything looks great to me.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I mean, there's just something about this guy, right?

Do you have a wife I can steal you away from? [laughs]

- Are you kidding me?

- I know what it is.

Something about me makes this one uncomfortable.

- Me? No. [laughs]

I'm not uncomfortable.

- No, she's not uncomfortable.

[laughs] I'm not uncomfortable.

- I am. [chuckles]

I'm a little flushed. [giggles]

- Are you sure?

Nothing about me maybe gets under your skin?

Maybe makes you a little nervous?

Maybe it's my hair?

Or maybe it's my goatee?

Or maybe it's the fact that I don't wear a damn watch?

- Um, well...

- I'm just kidding.

The stroke hit my left side, but I'm right-handed.

- And you use that hand, right?

- Oh, yeah.

You see all of these? - Uh-huh.

- I did those with this.

- [chuckling] Oh, gosh.

It's your situation, you own it, and I love that.

[laughs] Hilarious.

- Oh, I like to mess with new customers.

You got to take whatever life throws at you

and have fun with it, am I right?

- Yes. - Yeah.

When life hands you yellows, you make yellow-ade.

- OK, who's up?

- My biggest, best-est sister!

- OK, Red, looks like you're up.

[Bobbie groans]

- Nothing's stopping me, not even my good friend.

- Oh, wait, wait.

Isabella, I don't know about this guy, huh?

I mean, you know, he's just too...

handsome.

Too charming.

I mean, marry me. [giggles]

- Oh, forget it.

Honey, I don't want to get a tattoo.

- You don't want to do this with me?

- No, honey, I don't.

And it's not because you've had a stroke.

- What stroke?

I just fell asleep on my arm. [Gabby giggles]

- I'll fall asleep on your arm.

- You know what?

You look like a gal who could rock a snake tattoo.

- Well, I may not rattle, but I can sure shake my tail.

.

- Why didn't you just tell me you don't want to get a tattoo?

- I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

I mean, my family's already caused you so much pain.

- You haven't caused me any pain.

- Well, not me. Daddy.

- Well, what does our dad have to do with it?

- Well, you said that these tattoos were

all about your abandonment issues.

- Oh.

I'm sorry if anything I said made you sad.

But Bobbie, this tattoo isn't about

the 24 years I didn't have with Dad.

It's about the six months I've had with you.

- Really? - Absolutely.

And they've been the best six months of my life.

- Oh, Isabella, that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.

Oh, I love you.

- Now, let's get out of here, all right?

I don't want you to get a tattoo

that reminds you of the past.

- I don't want that, either.

I want a tattoo that celebrates you and me right now.

- What are you saying?

- * Matching tattoos are back on *

Ow! - Yay!

Wow!

Wow, this six-month anniversary

has been a real emotional roller coaster.

- Right? OK.

Hey, tattoo guy, we're ready now.

- You two will have to wait your turn.

I'm with another woman.

- I'm getting one that matches my hoo-ha on my yoo-hoo.

[laughs]

[gasps] Whoo. Yee-haw.

[laughs]

[upbeat music]

* *

- So what do you think?

- What is it?

- Oh, we both got hearts.

- Like our mugs.

- Except this time, mine says "Sis."

- And I took "Ters," which is fair.

- Yeah.

- I also got a tattoo.

But it's another one I can't show at work.

- Where's Steve and Emmett?

- Oh, yeah. We want to show them, too.

- I haven't seen them.

["Tea for Two" playing]
