00:00:03,963 --> 00:00:06,465
-Good morning!
-Hey, Twyla.
3
00:00:06,507 --> 00:00:09,050
I hear congratulations
are in order, Mrs Rose.
4
00:00:09,885 --> 00:00:12,011
Thank you, dear. For what?
5
00:00:12,053 --> 00:00:13,806
Oh, should I not say
anything yet?
6
00:00:13,848 --> 00:00:16,600
Well, you could
say something.
Think of it as a clue.
7
00:00:16,642 --> 00:00:18,310
Not say something
about what?
8
00:00:18,352 --> 00:00:20,604
Your wife's
big announcement.
9
00:00:20,646 --> 00:00:22,439
Again, dear, clue.
10
00:00:22,481 --> 00:00:25,359
-You running
for town council!
-What, excuse me?
11
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,068
You're running
for town council?
12
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:29,446
No, I'm not running
for town council.
13
00:00:29,488 --> 00:00:31,615
Oh, I must've misheard.
14
00:00:31,657 --> 00:00:34,618
Everyone was talking about
you standing up to council
last week,
15
00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:36,286
so I just assumed...
16
00:00:36,328 --> 00:00:39,289
Never assume, dear.
It makes an ass
out of both of us.
17
00:00:39,331 --> 00:00:41,375
It's not that absurd
an idea, Moira.
18
00:00:41,416 --> 00:00:43,042
You know, being on
town council
19
00:00:43,084 --> 00:00:46,338
might give you an outlet
to channel all that
20
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:48,423
passion you have
for this town.
21
00:00:48,465 --> 00:00:51,343
I'd sooner poke my eyes out
with hat pins.
22
00:00:51,385 --> 00:00:52,928
Well, that's subtle.
23
00:00:52,970 --> 00:00:56,056
Well, I think you would
make a great councillor.
24
00:00:56,097 --> 00:00:59,518
Well, the right person
might be able to get
a lot done around here.
25
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,936
The right person, John,
26
00:01:00,978 --> 00:01:03,313
wouldn't be caught dead
in this...
27
00:01:03,355 --> 00:01:05,649
They'd be running somewhere
a little more...
28
00:01:06,734 --> 00:01:08,777
-What?
-Moira...
29
00:01:08,819 --> 00:01:11,196
Okay, maybe I should say
somewhere less...
30
00:01:11,238 --> 00:01:13,699
-Less what?
-What's the word
I'm trying to think of?
31
00:01:13,741 --> 00:01:15,910
Well, let's hope we don't
find it, okay?
32
00:01:15,951 --> 00:01:18,286
Are we ready to order,
Councillor?
33
00:01:19,872 --> 00:01:21,248
You go ahead.
34
00:01:28,797 --> 00:01:31,299
Have you seen my black shoe?
35
00:01:31,341 --> 00:01:35,303
It's a lace-up,
probably lost in the sea
of your dirty clothes.
36
00:01:35,345 --> 00:01:37,180
-No.
-Ugh!
37
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,976
What is going on here?
38
00:01:41,018 --> 00:01:43,353
Why are your clothes
crammed under my bed?
39
00:01:43,395 --> 00:01:45,773
It's just temporary storage,
David.
40
00:01:48,901 --> 00:01:49,944
Look at your things.
41
00:01:50,736 --> 00:01:52,487
Look at your life!
42
00:01:52,529 --> 00:01:54,573
I have been distracted!
43
00:01:54,615 --> 00:01:56,825
Why is this wet? Ew!
44
00:01:56,867 --> 00:01:59,244
Because I kicked over
a glass of water
45
00:01:59,286 --> 00:02:00,913
that you left on the floor.
46
00:02:00,955 --> 00:02:02,623
I wasn't drinking water.
47
00:02:02,664 --> 00:02:03,791
Okay, so maybe it was mine.
48
00:02:03,832 --> 00:02:05,333
What difference
does it make?
49
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:06,877
-Ugh!
-Oh, my God!
50
00:02:06,919 --> 00:02:09,212
Ugh! Anyway,
I need the room tonight
51
00:02:09,254 --> 00:02:10,589
because I'm having
a friend over.
52
00:02:12,257 --> 00:02:13,842
What friend?
53
00:02:13,884 --> 00:02:17,429
Um, Twyla. We're gonna have
a fun little sleepover.
54
00:02:17,471 --> 00:02:19,765
Hmm... You and Twyla?
55
00:02:19,807 --> 00:02:22,101
Yeah. We're gonna do
face masks,
56
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:24,561
and we're gonna talk about
boys that we both know,
57
00:02:24,603 --> 00:02:25,687
and have dated.
58
00:02:25,729 --> 00:02:27,522
Um, have you spent
59
00:02:27,564 --> 00:02:28,690
more than five minutes
60
00:02:28,732 --> 00:02:30,025
with the girl, one on one?
61
00:02:30,067 --> 00:02:31,860
She could be
a serial killer.
62
00:02:31,902 --> 00:02:35,447
Twy and I have tea together
like, every day, David.
63
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:37,866
That she serves you
64
00:02:37,908 --> 00:02:39,200
at the cafe.
65
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,037
Because we're friends.
66
00:02:43,497 --> 00:02:45,499
Oh... Right.
67
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:48,251
Um, so then, where is Twyla
68
00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:49,461
going to sleep tonight?
69
00:02:49,503 --> 00:02:51,088
Because I'd say she could
70
00:02:51,130 --> 00:02:52,255
stay under my bed,
71
00:02:52,297 --> 00:02:53,507
but all your
disgusting clothes
72
00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:54,716
are stuffed under there,
73
00:02:54,758 --> 00:02:57,552
so, just wondering,
74
00:02:57,594 --> 00:03:00,055
where she'd sleep.
75
00:03:00,097 --> 00:03:02,599
Stop doing that
with your face.
76
00:03:03,266 --> 00:03:04,559

from council,
81
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:16,780
I gather his seat
is up for grabs?
82
00:03:16,822 --> 00:03:19,074
"His seat is up for grabs?"
(CHUCKLES)
83
00:03:19,116 --> 00:03:21,576
I could say something pretty
inappropriate right now.
84
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:23,620
Well, I'm hoping you don't.
85
00:03:23,662 --> 00:03:25,914
No, but I could.
That's a real set-up.
86
00:03:25,956 --> 00:03:28,750
Yeah, yeah, but I was
thinking, if his seat...

Well, he won a seat
in the legislature,
94
00:03:40,303 --> 00:03:42,305
and now he's a senator.

00:03:42,347 --> 00:03:43,891
Yeah, well, town council
96
00:03:43,932 --> 00:03:44,975

on a number of campaigns,
101
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,028
and I was president of the

102

my head against the wall,
but if I were to run,
106

I'd need support
from people like you.

00:04:12,044 --> 00:04:15,714
that would mean we'd work
together here at the garage,
and on council?

-I'm only teasing.
-Yeah, I know, I know.

to embarrass you.

Or are you with Mutt
on weekends?

00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,391
Um, no, because
we broke up so...
127
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:11,478
I'm sorry to hear that.
128
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:13,855
Although, part of me
is a little relieved
129
00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:17,358
since you did tell me
to break up with him,
and then you dated him...

That's so sweet of you,
but I'm gonna be fine.

So how late do you have
to work tonight?

00:05:22,697 --> 00:05:25,159
Um, until people leave,
I guess.
133
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,743
And when do people leave?
134
00:05:26,785 --> 00:05:29,163
I don't know,
after people clear out.
135
00:05:29,204 --> 00:05:32,457

everybody clears out,
you can just pop by.

I broke up with Mutt...
-Mmm-hmm.

of alone time to rebuild,
138

and regroup, and I just,
I think it's so important.
139
00:05:43,135 --> 00:05:46,763
Yeah, and I'm doing the same
kind of thing right now

a different playing field
for you.

174
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:21,066
Well, everyone knows
everyone here,
175
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:23,110
because there's only
one restaurant.
176
00:07:23,151 --> 00:07:26,405
I mean, just taking your boy
for an ice cream cone can
turn into a media circus.
177
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:28,823
Well, your son is 30,
and you never see him.
178
00:07:28,865 --> 00:07:31,534
Could I get a form, Roland?
Please?
179
00:07:31,576 --> 00:07:33,745
You know what?
180
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:36,790
I'll do you one better,
I'll give you the form,
181
00:07:36,831 --> 00:07:40,168
und your first signature.
182
00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:42,587
-Oh, wow.
-There you go.
How 'bout that?
183
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:44,547
-Thank you.
-You're very welcome.
184
00:07:44,589 --> 00:07:46,007
You signed under "date".
185
00:07:46,049 --> 00:07:48,009
Yeah, like that's going
to make a difference.
186
00:07:48,051 --> 00:07:49,052
Okay.
187
00:07:50,178 --> 00:07:53,056
Rrrrrr! Come here, you!
I'm thirsty!
188
00:07:57,144 --> 00:07:58,812
Exciting afternoon?
189
00:07:58,853 --> 00:08:02,190
-Thrilling. Can't you tell?
-What are you doing tonight?
190
00:08:02,232 --> 00:08:04,734
-Uh, I'm busy.
-With what?
191
00:08:04,776 --> 00:08:06,820
-I'm going out.
-With who?
192
00:08:06,861 --> 00:08:09,614
-Does it matter?
-Where are you going?
193
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:11,158
None of your business!
194
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,034
Are you seeing someone?
195
00:08:15,245 --> 00:08:16,537
Not exactly.
196
00:08:16,579 --> 00:08:19,082
Okay, you're sounding
very sketchy right now.
197
00:08:19,124 --> 00:08:20,667
I'm going to a bar
to meet someone.
198
00:08:20,708 --> 00:08:22,669
-Who?
-I don't know yet.
199
00:08:24,338 --> 00:08:27,590
Oh... So she's going
to a bar to get laid, then.
200
00:08:27,632 --> 00:08:29,301
-I see.
-Uh, no,
201
00:08:29,343 --> 00:08:32,804
she is going to a bar
to have her needs met
202
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:34,848
by some lovely gentleman
she's yet to meet,
203
00:08:34,889 --> 00:08:36,308
who is cute enough
to sleep with,
204
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:39,227
but not nearly mature
or stable enough to marry.
205
00:08:40,437 --> 00:08:42,022
I want that.
206
00:08:42,063 --> 00:08:43,606
Well, you can't come,
207
00:08:43,648 --> 00:08:45,066
'cause everyone will think
we're together.
208
00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:47,652
Okay, I think you're giving
yourself a lot of credit.
209
00:08:48,403 --> 00:08:49,946
I was being generous.
210
00:08:49,988 --> 00:08:51,781
No, we're gonna be each
other's wing people tonight.
211
00:08:51,823 --> 00:08:56,286
Um, now, how diverse
is the clientele
212
00:08:56,328 --> 00:08:58,163
at this local drinkery?
213
00:08:58,205 --> 00:08:59,580
I would say very diverse.
214
00:08:59,622 --> 00:09:02,459
I can't remember what life
was like before dating apps.
215
00:09:02,501 --> 00:09:04,711
I'm both excited
and terrified for tonight.
216
00:09:04,752 --> 00:09:06,129
I don't think I ever said
you could come.
217
00:09:06,171 --> 00:09:09,341
Okay, so what time, though?
And is there a dress code?
218
00:09:09,383 --> 00:09:11,009
'Cause I just want
to come prepared.
219
00:09:12,677 --> 00:09:14,054
So that I can meet somebody.
220
00:09:14,095 --> 00:09:16,264
(MAKES POPPING SOUND)
221
00:09:16,306 --> 00:09:18,517
I'm in room seven
in case you need me.
222
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:21,686
See you later.
223
00:09:21,728 --> 00:09:23,104
This is gonna be
so fun for us.
224
00:09:28,235 --> 00:09:30,028
You know, it's, uh...
225
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:32,239
It's a funny thing.
226
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,200
There seems to be a rumour
going around about me.
227
00:09:35,242 --> 00:09:36,576
I heard that one.
228
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:38,495
It's only because
you converse
with women easily,
229
00:09:38,537 --> 00:09:39,746
and you dress so well.
230
00:09:39,787 --> 00:09:41,748
I wouldn't give it
another thought.
231
00:09:41,789 --> 00:09:45,585
-What?
-I'm sorry, which rumour
are you talking about?
232
00:09:45,626 --> 00:09:47,421
The one about me
running for council.
233
00:09:48,713 --> 00:09:50,382
No, that was
about me, John.
234
00:09:50,424 --> 00:09:52,426
You were with me
when Twyla said that.
235
00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:54,635
If this continues, I'll have
to call a neurologist.
236
00:09:54,677 --> 00:09:57,264
No, this is another rumour,
Moira.
237
00:09:57,305 --> 00:10:00,559
A rumour about me
running for council.
238
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,561
From whom did you
hear this one?
239
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:04,396
Well, I... I don't know
where it started,
240
00:10:04,438 --> 00:10:07,190
but the gist of it
is I'd be a shoo-in,
241
00:10:07,232 --> 00:10:09,192
and could really
get things done.
242
00:10:09,234 --> 00:10:10,651
Well, there's no question
about it.
243
00:10:10,693 --> 00:10:12,195
You'd be a godsend
to council.
244
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:14,448
Well, thank you, sweetheart.
I agree.
245
00:10:14,489 --> 00:10:15,615
But they'll never know
about it
246
00:10:15,656 --> 00:10:17,658
because you have
much bigger plans.
247
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:19,578
Yes, I know, well...
248
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:22,622
I see you go into the office
every day, pistons firing.
249
00:10:22,663 --> 00:10:25,792
You are full of ideas,
and you haven't told me
what they are yet,
250
00:10:25,833 --> 00:10:28,462
but I have every confidence
that they are brilliant.
251
00:10:28,503 --> 00:10:32,382
Yeah, yeah... Well,
who says I can't do both?
252
00:10:32,424 --> 00:10:36,303
Moira, being on council
could leverage our position
considerably in this town.
253
00:10:36,344 --> 00:10:37,971
It's not worth it.
254
00:10:38,012 --> 00:10:41,015
You saw me struggle
to get those modest
planters for the motel.
255
00:10:41,057 --> 00:10:44,519
Trying to get
council to focus
on the simplest thing
256
00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:46,313
is like wrangling monkeys!
257
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:47,855
Well, I can wrangle monkeys.
258
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:49,524
It's called
running a business.
259
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:52,402
Yes, you could,
but you'd be wasting your
talents on these people.
260
00:10:52,444 --> 00:10:54,237
Yeah, well,
that goes without saying.
261
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:56,281
Listen, I know
it's a giant step down
262
00:10:56,323 --> 00:10:57,949
from anything I've done
in the past, but...
263
00:10:57,991 --> 00:11:00,368
Exactly, it's beneath you.
264
00:11:01,244 --> 00:11:03,246
Well, I just
265
00:11:03,288 --> 00:11:05,582
worry that the people
who were spreading
this rumour
266
00:11:05,624 --> 00:11:08,084
might be a little
disappointed, that's all.
267
00:11:08,126 --> 00:11:09,419
Well, you can't worry
about them.
268
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:23,183
-Hey!
-Hey.
269
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:28,355
(SIGHS)
270
00:11:32,651 --> 00:11:34,277
Are you waiting for someone?
271
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:36,863
No, I'm just taking
some me time.
272
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:39,782
Oh, okay.
273
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:43,786
I hope I'm not getting
in the way of that.
274
00:11:43,828 --> 00:11:45,330
No, no, you're good.
275
00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:52,629
So, Stevie...
276
00:11:52,671 --> 00:11:55,632
You're a strong woman
who's alone a lot.
277
00:11:55,674 --> 00:11:57,467
Like, I know
you dated David,
278
00:11:57,509 --> 00:12:00,554
but everyone's allowed
a mistake, am I right?
279
00:12:00,595 --> 00:12:02,096
You sound
like my conscience.
280
00:12:02,138 --> 00:12:03,598
Is it hard for you?
281
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:07,394
Uh, is what hard for me?
282
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:09,312
Like, being
by yourself here?
283
00:12:09,354 --> 00:12:13,066
Like, you're just totally
okay to sit here all day
by yourself?
284
00:12:13,107 --> 00:12:14,484
That's why I took the job.
285
00:12:14,526 --> 00:12:16,986
Mmm-hmm. Okay.
286
00:12:17,028 --> 00:12:18,863
And while you're here,
by yourself,
287
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:22,075
you never get this almost
uncontrollable urge
288
00:12:22,116 --> 00:12:25,704
to talk to people,
or be complimented, or...
289
00:12:25,744 --> 00:12:27,288
I know everyone
in this town,
290
00:12:27,330 --> 00:12:31,501
so for the most part,
I would rather
be here by myself
291
00:12:31,543 --> 00:12:33,461
than engage in meaningless
conversation
292
00:12:33,503 --> 00:12:35,046
with people
I don't care about.
293
00:12:36,297 --> 00:12:37,591
Totally.
294
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:42,178
Mmm-hmm. And why is that?
295
00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:44,847
Because I enjoy
my own company more.
296
00:12:44,889 --> 00:12:47,100
Of course. Of course.
297
00:12:47,934 --> 00:12:48,935
Okay.
298
00:12:51,062 --> 00:12:53,690
JOCELYN:
Can I have everyone's
attention, please?
299
00:12:53,732 --> 00:12:56,610
If I could just... Okay.
Thanks, Jazzagals.
300
00:12:56,651 --> 00:12:59,070
I just wanted to grab your
ear for just a second,
301
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:00,821
to make a quick
announcement.
302
00:13:00,863 --> 00:13:05,410
I will not be at rehearsals
for the next two weeks,
303
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:08,246
because I have decided
to throw my hat in the ring
and run for council!
304
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:09,539
-(ALL GASP)
-Oh, Jocelyn!
305
00:13:09,581 --> 00:13:10,749
WOMAN: That's great!
TWYLA: Oh, my gosh!
306
00:13:10,789 --> 00:13:13,209
-(APPLAUSE)
-That's amazing!
307
00:13:13,251 --> 00:13:15,086
I'm currently running
unopposed.
308
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:18,089
So that kinda takes away
the excitement of winning,
309
00:13:18,131 --> 00:13:20,634
you know, but still, I think
it's gonna be a real hoot.
310
00:13:20,675 --> 00:13:21,926
WOMAN: That's so fun!
311
00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:23,511
-Congratulations!
-Good going! Good for you!
312
00:13:23,553 --> 00:13:24,554
Thank you.
313
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:28,767
So, Jocelyn, good for you.
314
00:13:28,807 --> 00:13:30,351
Taking on
a new little project.
315
00:13:30,393 --> 00:13:32,103
Thanks. I'm really
looking forward to it.
316
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:33,772
You know what's funny?
317
00:13:33,812 --> 00:13:36,441
Just this morning,
Twyla asked me if
I was running for council.
318
00:13:37,358 --> 00:13:39,360
That is funny.
319
00:13:39,402 --> 00:13:41,195
I mean, unless you're
thinking of running.
320
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:43,323
Mmm, no. No, no.
321
00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:46,618
-Can you imagine?
-No! (LAUGHS)
322
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:48,787
I mean, just because
you've spent all your time
323
00:13:48,827 --> 00:13:51,289
trying to sell the town
and get outta here, so.
324
00:13:51,331 --> 00:13:54,417
Twyla, dear, what was it
this morning that made
you say
325
00:13:54,459 --> 00:13:56,919
I would make such
a great councilwoman?
326
00:13:56,961 --> 00:14:00,006
Oh, I just heard
you were running.
327
00:14:00,923 --> 00:14:02,049
Are you?
328
00:14:02,091 --> 00:14:03,510
-No.
-I...
329
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:06,179
She's not interested
in politics!
330
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:09,223
Although I can see why
someone might think that.
331
00:14:09,265 --> 00:14:10,975
I certainly know how
to command a crowd,
332
00:14:11,017 --> 00:14:14,354
and I've never been
one to shy away
from a good fight.
333
00:14:14,395 --> 00:14:17,774
I don't think it's such
a bad idea for someone
else to run.
334
00:14:17,816 --> 00:14:21,110
A little healthy competition
never hurt anyone.
335
00:14:21,152 --> 00:14:24,113
Yeah, a real election race
could be fun!
336
00:14:24,155 --> 00:14:26,700
Absolutely. I mean,
I wouldn't want anyone
337
00:14:26,741 --> 00:14:28,618
to think that I was just
stepping into this,
338
00:14:28,660 --> 00:14:30,911
you know, because of Roland.
339
00:14:30,953 --> 00:14:33,080
Yeah, I mean, if any
of you townies
340
00:14:33,122 --> 00:14:34,541
wanna put your name
on the ballot,
341
00:14:34,582 --> 00:14:36,751
I think that's just
a great idea.
342
00:14:36,793 --> 00:14:38,545
That's the spirit.
343
00:14:38,586 --> 00:14:40,921
If Jocelyn can do it,
anyone can.
344
00:14:42,131 --> 00:14:44,551
-Yeah.
-Yeah. Places,
don't you think?
345
00:14:46,427 --> 00:14:49,263
Hmm... On a scale of one
346
00:14:49,305 --> 00:14:51,182
to "I'm gonna get beat up
by an angry local,"
347
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:53,184
where do we see
this look fall?
348
00:14:53,226 --> 00:14:55,978
Um, like, easy six.
349
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:57,647
-Okay.
-Where are you going?
350
00:14:57,689 --> 00:15:01,818
Um, I am going to
a sketchy bar on
the outskirts of town.
351
00:15:01,860 --> 00:15:03,277
And nobody invited me?
352
00:15:03,319 --> 00:15:05,196
You know
how at home I am
at sketchy bars!
353
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:06,698
Who are you going with?
354
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:08,825
Um, with Stevie.
We're gonna meet
some randoms.
355
00:15:08,867 --> 00:15:11,494
So, um, when I go missing,
356
00:15:11,536 --> 00:15:13,747
just feel free to tell
people that the last place
I was seen
357
00:15:13,788 --> 00:15:17,041
was at a sketchy bar
on the outskirts of town
meeting randoms.
358
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:18,585
Okay, well, this isn't fair,
David.
359
00:15:18,626 --> 00:15:20,837
I'm the one who should
be at a sketchy bar
meeting randoms.
360
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:22,422
I'm the one who should
go missing.
361
00:15:22,463 --> 00:15:24,924
-Well, then, come.
-(SIGHS) I can't.
362
00:15:24,965 --> 00:15:26,384
-Why?
-Well, for one thing,
363
00:15:26,426 --> 00:15:28,678
this mask doesn't come off
for another 20 minutes.
364
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,222
-You look beautiful.
-Thank you.
365
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:36,143
And second, I told myself
that I would enjoy my own
company tonight.
366
00:15:37,311 --> 00:15:39,355
Okay, um, well,
we're going to a bar,
367
00:15:39,397 --> 00:15:41,566
and you're on the rebound,
so text me when
you're dressed.
368
00:15:41,608 --> 00:15:44,819
I'm serious, David,
I'm not coming.
Have fun, though.
369
00:15:44,861 --> 00:15:47,029
Oh, and in case
you wake up in a chair
370
00:15:47,071 --> 00:15:49,156
with your hands
duct taped together,
371
00:15:49,198 --> 00:15:52,118
you can snap the duct tape
by just raising your hands
over your head,
372
00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:54,245
and then bringing them
down really hard.
373
00:15:55,538 --> 00:15:58,750
Thanks. Um...
See you there?
374
00:15:58,792 --> 00:16:00,501
-I'm not coming.
-(SCOFFS)
375
00:16:04,589 --> 00:16:05,882
I'm not coming.
376
00:16:08,551 --> 00:16:09,552
(SIGHS)
377
00:16:12,597 --> 00:16:15,224
Hi, Moira.
How was rehearsal?
378
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:17,852
It was quite an afternoon.
Oh, John, thank you.
379
00:16:17,894 --> 00:16:20,062
Listen, I just wanted
to thank you
380
00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:22,774
-for what you said
this morning.
-And what's that?
381
00:16:22,816 --> 00:16:26,360
When we had our
little talk about me
running for council.
382
00:16:26,402 --> 00:16:30,406
I have to admit
I'd given it a little more
thought than I'd let on.
383
00:16:30,448 --> 00:16:31,950
-Oh?
-Yes.
384
00:16:31,991 --> 00:16:34,494
I actually picked up
a nomination form.
385
00:16:34,535 --> 00:16:37,163
Really? John,
I didn't realise.
386
00:16:37,204 --> 00:16:39,165
No, no, no, I'm glad
you talked me out of it.
387
00:16:39,206 --> 00:16:41,584
-Okay.
-Yeah, because
I thought about the job,
388
00:16:41,626 --> 00:16:43,169
what it would entail,
and you know, listen,
389
00:16:43,210 --> 00:16:45,588
Roland drives me crazy
when he's not even around,
390
00:16:45,630 --> 00:16:47,131
-but can you imagine?
-No.
391
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:48,800
Working with him every day?
392
00:16:48,842 --> 00:16:51,135
Huh! I'm laughing
about it right now.
393
00:16:53,763 --> 00:16:56,599
Did you know Jocelyn
is running?
394
00:16:56,641 --> 00:16:59,978
No. Oh, my God!
This gets better and better.
395
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:03,189
So the two of them
on council together?
396
00:17:03,230 --> 00:17:05,399
Is there a more
frightening thought?
397
00:17:05,441 --> 00:17:08,110
They would have
a virtual monopoly
on this town.
398
00:17:08,152 --> 00:17:09,362
Well, don't they already?
399
00:17:09,403 --> 00:17:13,199
Exactly. I think someone
needs to challenge them!
400
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,242
Right!
401
00:17:15,284 --> 00:17:19,455
So... What are you saying?
That I should run?
402
00:17:19,497 --> 00:17:21,207
No. Nope.
403
00:17:21,248 --> 00:17:24,251
Because I did get
five signatures on my
nomination form, and I...
404
00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:26,838
No! No, no, no, John, you've
got enough on your plate.
405
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,215
-Oh.
-Whereas, I (SCOFFS)
406
00:17:29,256 --> 00:17:30,842
have nothing but free time.
407
00:17:34,178 --> 00:17:37,891
Not exactly sure
where this is going.
408
00:17:37,932 --> 00:17:39,851
John, you have the family
to think about.
409
00:17:39,893 --> 00:17:42,436
You're going to accomplish
wonderfully big things.
410
00:17:42,478 --> 00:17:45,565
Town council would just
hold you back.
411
00:17:45,606 --> 00:17:50,194
But something
tells me it will not be
holding you back?
412
00:17:50,236 --> 00:17:52,112
It would be a few weeks
of my time.
413
00:17:52,154 --> 00:17:55,366
And, you know,
someone said it might be
a nice project for me.
414
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:57,451
And would that
someone be you?
415
00:17:57,493 --> 00:17:59,871
Jocelyn practically
begged me
to take the bait!
416
00:17:59,913 --> 00:18:01,831
So you're running
for council?
417
00:18:02,790 --> 00:18:03,958
Looks like it.
418
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,169
Oh, well,
isn't that wonderful!
419
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:08,713
Isn't that wonderful!
420
00:18:08,755 --> 00:18:10,924
(CHUCKLES) Hey,
that's really good news.
421
00:18:10,965 --> 00:18:12,425
I'm sorry, John,
I just got swept up in it.
422
00:18:12,466 --> 00:18:15,386
No, no, listen, as long
as one of us is running,
okay?
423
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:18,305
That's the important thing.
It doesn't matter which
one of us is running.
424
00:18:18,347 --> 00:18:22,476
I thought it would be me,
but then you talked me
out of it! But that's okay!
425
00:18:22,518 --> 00:18:25,104
Please, John,
I'm going to need you
every step of the way.
426
00:18:25,145 --> 00:18:26,522
And I'll be right
behind you, Moira,
427
00:18:26,564 --> 00:18:28,066
supporting you,
428
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:29,609
because you're
the one running,
and I'm not!
429
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:30,944
How long are we going
to be doing this?
430
00:18:30,985 --> 00:18:33,029
Oh, just a few more minutes,
at least.
431
00:18:36,991 --> 00:18:38,576
(MUSIC PLAYING)
432
00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:42,246
It's not usually this dead.
433
00:18:44,082 --> 00:18:46,417
It's like everybody
saw you coming, and left.
434
00:18:47,710 --> 00:18:49,629
Is this really what
our lives have become?
435
00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:54,634
Sitting in some sad bar
waiting to get laid?
436
00:18:54,675 --> 00:18:56,469
Well, it's this
or the Internet.
437
00:18:56,510 --> 00:18:58,054
Oh, I did have
a match earlier.
438
00:18:59,221 --> 00:19:02,475
Um, who is 79 miles away.
439
00:19:02,516 --> 00:19:03,893
Well, if you start
walking now,
440
00:19:03,935 --> 00:19:05,269
you'll get there before
breakfast.
441
00:19:05,311 --> 00:19:07,647
Alexis is supposed to be
meeting us here.
442
00:19:07,688 --> 00:19:13,152
She said she wasn't coming,
but this is a bar,
and she is single, so.
443
00:19:13,193 --> 00:19:17,907
Well, you should warn her
that we are the only people
here under 60.
444
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:23,496
Yeah, it's not...
Not brimming with options.
445
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:26,290
No.
446
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,419
(DAVID INHALES DEEPLY)
447
00:19:49,939 --> 00:19:51,858
-Nope.
-No.
448
00:19:51,899 --> 00:19:54,152
-No, it didn't feel right.
-No, it didn't.
449
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:55,820
Well, at least we tried.
450
00:19:57,071 --> 00:19:58,322
I agree.
451
00:20:03,953 --> 00:20:08,916
Oh, uh, I notice the man
is no longer sleeping
under the pool table.
452
00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:13,629
Well, I'm surprisingly
good at pool.
453
00:20:13,671 --> 00:20:15,214
-So...
-Hmm!
454
00:20:15,255 --> 00:20:17,383
Wait a second, is this
like a reverse hustle,
455
00:20:17,424 --> 00:20:20,178
where you say
you're good, but you're
actually terrible?
456
00:20:20,219 --> 00:20:21,595
Um, I don't know.
457
00:20:22,889 --> 00:20:24,264
You wanna break?
458
00:20:24,891 --> 00:20:26,017
Um, from what?
459
00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:28,310
Oh, this is gonna be fun.
