Previously onGeorgie & Mandy's First Marriage...

You are not gonna believe this.

That was Channel Nine. They just offered me a job.

They don't care about the stuff you said?

I'm a loose cannon. That's what they love about me.

Poverty is just a state of mind.

No, it's eating butter sandwiches

and sharing a Dodge Dart with your grandma.

Hola. Georgie.

How about, when we disagree,

I bring in Mr. McAllister to be the tiebreaker?

-Counteroffer. -Go.

When we need a tiebreaker, it's my abuela.

[laughs]

Now, if you'll turn to the earnings report...

Ain't it a little early for numbers?

Hey, you agreed to a monthly partners' meeting.

I didn't agree, I got outvoted.

Does she really got to be here?

Let's put it to a vote. Yes.

Abuela?

Ooh. Another tough loss for you.

Let's just move on.

RUBEN: Yeah.

He's always grumpy in the morning.

Am not.

[laughs]

Well, only 'cause it's 7:00 a.m.

This was the only time Abuela was available.

She don't work.

No, but she has water aerobics at 8:00,

so let's keep this moving.

What's next?

You tell us your plan to get new clients.

Who said I have a plan?

It's on the agenda.

You knew I wasn't gonna read that when you gave it to me.

What'd she say?

She's excited to hear your ideas.

Fine, you want an idea?

I join the Medford Springs Country Club.

-Why? -Lot of deals get made there.

Good place to meet potential clients.

You play golf?

No, but I can learn.

The ball's just sitting there, waiting for you to hit it.

How hard can it be?

Let me get this straight.

You want to use company money

so you can hang out at a country club?

Where I'll make more company money.

[chuckles] Abuela?

No.

I can get you in any time you want to use the pool,

the steam room, Jacuzzi.

Sí.

Tough loss for you.

♪

[coos]

So, Mandy, you ready to get back to work?

Definitely. I feel bad leaving CeeCee.

Oh, don't worry, she and I are gonna have so much fun,

she won't even know you're gone.

Wow, you always know just the wrong thing to say.

I can show her your picture and tell her,

"This is the lady who picked work over you."

Says the guy who never picked work over anything.

What can I say? I put family first.

Hey, y'all.

Hey. What's with the golf clubs?

My dad's old set. I'm gonna learn how to play.

Why?

Rich guys play golf. I'm gonna be a rich guy.

Ergo, I better get to it.

-"Ergo"? -It's a word.

I know. I'm just surprised you know.

If you want to learn to play golf, I could teach you.

You play?

It's been a while, but yes.

Careful, she's a tough teacher.

You were a lousy student.

"Bend your knees, straighten your arm,

"loosen your grip, keep your head still,

turn your hips, follow through." Pick one, for God's sake.

If you'd focused more on your lessons

instead of your outfits, you could have been great.

Well... [scoffs] looking cute was important.

I thought I was gonna meet my future husband

on the golf course.

Instead, you met him at a Laundromat.

And I noticed her outfit.

Head down,

arms straight,

feet shoulder-width apart.

Don't overthink it.

First time anyone's ever said that to me.

Give it a try.

You're swinging with your arms.

It's all about the hips. Here, watch mine.

I'd rather not.

What's your problem?

You're my mother-in-law.

I-I like to pretend you don't have hips.

Don't be a baby. Watch.

Dang.

Did you see how I rotated my hips?

The ones you don't have, yes.

Give it a shot.

Okay.

[exhales]

-Nice. -That felt better.

You're a good teacher.

Oh, thank you. You're a good student.

Another thing no one's ever said.

Georgie, you really think joining a country club's

gonna help build your business?

I've been charming the socks off folks since kindergarten.

Might as well aim my natural charisma at people with money.

Oh, my God, just swing.

All right, there you go.

I knew this was gonna be easy.

You think so? Do it again.

Okey dokey.

[sighs]

I don't see it.

Look down.

Found it.

All right, this time, swing slow,

keep your head down, your left arm straight,

and try not to sway.

What's going on?

I forgot everything after "swing slow."

I'm glad you had a good time.

It was fun.

I forgot how much I love the game.

And Georgie actually took to it.

Unlike his wife.

Look at you, a 20-year-old grudge.

That's impressive.

You know, I was thinking maybe we should join the country club.

[laughs] You're kidding, right?

We're not country club people.

I am.

What's that mean?

Don't make me hurt your feelings.

Why would I join? I don't even golf.

Well, you're not too old to learn.

No, but I'm too old to want to learn.

It's not just golf.

There's a swimming pool, tennis.

It's a good place to make new friends.

I don't need new friends. I already got plenty.

Name them.

We're not joining a country club.

-Fine, I hear you. -Thank you.

-Night. -Night.

[Jim sighs]

You're doing it anyway, aren't you?

And you say you're too old to learn.

So what'd you think?

Well, I do like the idea of saying "the club."

"Where are you going?" "The club."

"Where are you eating?" "The club."

"What you having?" "Club sandwich."

You know a sandwich is fancy

when it's got a third piece of bread.

So how much does it cost to join?

Don't matter. The whole thing's a tax write-off.

And you know that for a fact?

Well, I know I can write it off.

If I get away with it is a different story.

Well, it's probably good for my job, too, and for CeeCee.

I could take her to the pool, teach her to swim.

-Mm. [laughs] -What?

Oh, just thinking. My dad taught me to swim by throwing me

in the deep end and saying, "Don't drown."

Yeah, we're not doing that.

Good, 'cause I almost died.

-Morning. -Don't "morning" me.

[Jim sighs]

Anyone gonna ask why I'm mad?!

Sorry, what's up?

Because of you, Audrey wants to join some country club.

What? No, the club was gonna be our thing.

They can be members, too.

But one of the perks of the club is that they're not in it.

Morning.

You look nice.

Oh, thank you. I'm gonna go check out the country club.

Happy?

Don't worry, you don't have to come.

We're gonna check it out, too.

Oh, great, we can all go together.

Happy?

This is the dining room, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Great.

What's your policy on guests?

You know, like business clients or grandmothers of coworkers?

Guests are welcome as long as they're accompanied by a member.

Sold. Sign us up.

Me as well.

You two, I can take care of today.

Mrs. McAllister, I'll need your husband

to come down and fill out the paperwork.

He's not interested. It'll just be me.

Oh, I-I'm-I'm sorry.

Membership is actually reserved for men.

So, wait, I can't be a member?

Well, as a spouse, you'd be an auxiliary member.

Auxiliary?

That's a good word, huh? Right up there with "ergo."

You're gonna let this yokel be a member and not me?

Hey, I ain't no dang yokel.

See?

I'm sorry ma'am, men only. It's club policy.

That's outrageous. Amanda, let's go.

Uh, hold on. Do auxiliary members

have access to the pool, the steam room, and the bar?

And childcare.

See you. Sign us up.

[cheering on TV]

Since when do you watch wrestling?

Georgie got me into it.

What? I've been trying to get you

to watch football with me for years.

Nobody hits anyone over the head with a chair in football.

Who cares? It's fake.

Must you suck the joy out of everything?

It's not that big a deal.

-Of course it is. It is totally sexist. -What's going on?

The club won't let Mrs. McAllister join without you.

Men only. Can you believe it?

So Mandy can't join either?

Oh, no, I'm in. My husband's a member.

You are just loving this, aren't you?

You called Georgie a yokel.

Oh, please, it's one of the nicest things I've called him.

You know what? If it's so important to you,

I'll go down there and sign us up.

Oh, my husband's gonna fix my problems.

Thank God there's a man around

to solve everything for poor little me.

That was the idea.

Really?

-You're this guy now? -Shh.

You don't talk when someone's putting. It's bad etiquette.

Etiquette?

I golf, ergo I say "etiquette."

Can you even name one famous golfer?

Mm, Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack.

-Mm-hmm. -Happy Gilmore.

-Oh, and the guy who invented lemonade and tea. -Ah.

-Arnold Palmer. -Yep. I was thinking Shirley Temple,

but I knew that wasn't right.

JIM: Hey.

I didn't think you were working today.

-I needed to get out of the house. -She still mad?

That we live in a sexist society where men get everything?

No, she's over it.

You really need to belong to that stupid place?

Heck yeah. I went last night for a drink.

Ended up chatting with a guy who owns the Chevy dealership.

Really? That could be huge for us.

Still think I should quit?

No, I guess it's a smart play.

Ruben.

Coming.

Tell Mrs. McAllister I have a woman partner.

She'll like that.

Okay, CeeCee's down, I'm off to work.

Oh, that feels good to say.

Well, it is 1996, when a woman can have it all,

except membership to a golf club.

Hey, I'm just trying to be a supportive wife.

Oh. [blows raspberry]

Fine. You're right. It's incredibly unfair.

So you'll quit?

You know, I would,

but it's good for Georgie's business,

CeeCee can learn to swim.

They also make incredible margaritas.

You are such a hypocrite.

Yeah, and that's what the margaritas are for.

Oh, and by the way, you didn't care about women's rights

until you didn't get what you wanted.

That is not true.

I was the first girl in my class to wear pants to high school.

Oh, so brave.

It was a big deal--

I got sent home to change!

As you can see, we're not quite as big as your last station,

but we like to think of ourselves

as the scrappy underdogs.

Well, I'm scrappy. You want me to chase a tornado,

I will chase a tornado.

Short skirt, lot of wind.

That'll get us some ratings.

As a woman, I would never ask you to exploit your sexuality.

-Thank you. -But if you wanted to, I'd be very okay with it.

And just so you know,

at Channel Seven, I did do more than the weather.

Sometimes I would go out in the field,

and do on-location reporting.

Well, we're always open to pitches.

Oh. Okay, well, since you asked, I do have a couple.

Uh, let's see.

The adoption fair at the pound. People love cute animals.

Mm, a little soft.

Yeah, no problem. I can do hard-hitting.

Um, mad cow disease.

I don't fully know what it is,

but I'm willing to eat a burger on air and find out.

We're looking for a strong female angle.

That's why we brought you in.

Where's that loose cannon who said God was a woman?

She is right here, and she will keep working on it.

[sighs]

Actually, I did have one more idea.

-Hit me. -Did you know

that the country club in town is men only?

Really?

I know, and as a woman...

[scoffs] ...I am outraged.

Hey, there's my best girl.

Yup, in the kitchen, where I belong.

That ain't what I meant.

Then why am I the one always cooking?

Oh, I'd have to guess it's evolution.

-Evolution? -Yeah, you know,

when cavewomen would get pregnant,

they weren't running around chasing woolly mammoths.

They were in the caves cooking.

Seriously?

This why you're incapable of peeling a potato?

Yup, evolution.

Oh, come on, Audrey.

I'm not the bad guy here.

No, you're Jim McAllister, and I'm just your wife.

That ain't true.

The house is in your name,

the car is in your name,

the bank account is in your name.

Well, that don't matter. I'm not going anywhere.

Well, of course, you'renot going anywhere.

What if I want to go somewhere?

Where you going?

That is not the point.

I just want to know that I can.

I couldn't even sign up for a stupid golf club.

Do you know how small that makes me feel?

Yeah, that-that sucks. I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Anything I can do?

Maybe take you out for a nice dinner?

Why don't I take youout for a nice dinner?

Okay. Let me change my shirt.

Now I got to buy him dinner. Boy, I cannot win.

-[door opens] -GEORGIE: Hello?

In here.

[door closes]

Hey, what's up?

Uh, Mom and Dad went out to eat

so I was just trying to figure out dinner.

What you thinking?

Your call-- Lucky Charms or Golden Grahams?

Cereal for dinner.

Maybe we are yokels.

How was your first day?

It was good. I really like my new boss.

Oh, you should bring her to the club.

Funny enough, we are going tomorrow.

I'll see you there. I'm meeting a client.

Maybe you should take him somewhere else.

Why?

Because I'm doing a story on how sexist the club is.

You're kidding. They're gonna kick us out.

Look, it's not my fault, okay? She didn't like

any of my other ideas, so I had to pitch this one.

How is that not your fault?

Okay, if you're gonna attack me, you can pour your own dinner.

I was doing this for my business, for us.

-I know. -And you said it was gonna be good for your job, too.

Well, as it turns out, it is.

Oh, Mandy.

Well, you married a loose cannon.

Sometimes it's gonna go off.

♪ ♪

-How is everything? -Delicious.

Excellent. Can I get you another margarita?

Oh, I probably shouldn't.

I'm breaking a big story today.

Ooh, exciting. About what?

Oh, you'll see.

Excuse me.

There's a gentleman in the lobby with a camera,

says he's your guest?

Thank you. Actually, I would love to introduce you.

-Sure. -Do I have anything in my teeth?

-No. -Great.

Really gonna miss this place.

This is Mandy McAllister coming to you

from the Medford Springs Country Club,

where in 1996,

their policy still prohibits women from becoming members.

I know. I was shocked, too.

Sure, they have a beautiful golf course

and excellent facilities, and delicious margaritas

with just the right amount of salt on the rim.

But that doesn't make up for their sexist, antiquated rules.

Which is why I'm calling on all the women out there.

If change is gonna happen, it has to start at home.

If we don't get what we want, they don't get what they want.

That's right. No membership for us, no sex for them.

No membership, no sex.

No membership, no sex!

Say it with me, sisters.

No membership, no sex!

-No membership, no sex! -What happened

to just doing the weather?

MANDY: No membership, no sex!
