"I just can not wait any longer." "I love you." " Take it you two are an item now." " Yes, we are." "Yay!" "That is so great!" "What is this?" "Harley made that for me when I was a little girl." " I thought you might like it." " GEORGE:" "Did you really mean what you said about me and music managing?" "Oh, yeah." "I am so proud of you." "I'm kind of sort of falling for you AnnaBeth Nass." "♪" "(doors rattling)" "(wind howling)" "Hello?" "(doors rattling)" "Who's there?" "AnnaBeth Nass." "God?" "It is I, Cyrus Lavinius" "Jeremiah Jones." "The founder of Bluebell is in my bedroom?" "I come with a warning." "At midnight tomorrow, life as you know it will end forever." "There will be five omens." "Oh." "Five..." "Ow!" "Omens." "Okay." "Pay attention!" "(shrieks) Hey!" "A flood will smite a foe." "A former couple will say "N.O."" "A chicken will be sent to bed." " A city street will run blood red." " Oh no." "Darkness will replace the light." "Life as you know it ends... tonight." "Well, that's a nice poem, but I don't really believe..." "Believe, AnnaBeth!" "Now, repeat after me." "A flood will smite a foe." "A flood will smite a foe." "CRICKETT:" "Wow." "That is a very strange and oddly specific dream." " Mm." " What do you think it means?" "I think it means I should lay off the spicy shrimp at Fancie's." "(chuckles)" "But... what if it really is a warning?" "A warning?" "You need to stop watching that Russell Crowe Bible movie on demand, my friend." "(chuckles) Oh, I am late for brunch." "Are you sure you can't join?" "Wait." "You're really going to brunch on our potential last day on Earth?" "Have you met me?" "What better way to spend it than brunch?" "But, honey, it was just a dream." "I only told you 'cause I thought it was funny." " Right." " Ha." "Ha, ha, ha." "Ha, ha, ha, ha." " Ha." " LAVON:" "A toast." "To this monumental day." " To us finally enjoying a meal together." " To getting drunk before noon." " Amazing pancakes." " (laughs)" "GEORGE:" "Who would have thunk it, huh?" "Yeah, all of us in happy couples." "Yeah." "You with his ex, you with his." "Me with her, you okay with it." "LEMON:" "And no tension." "No fighting." "Yes, it just seems like only yesterday that Lemon was holding Zoe hostage after Zoe ruined her wedding to George." "(laughter)" "And now we're pals!" "Nearly pals." "And we have so many more brunches ahead of us." " Yeah." " Hear!" "Hear!" "Yes!" "All right, I can do that." "And dinners and picnics and football games and birthday parties, and our kids playing together in the sandboxes." "It's gonna be so awesome!" " Okay, take it easy there, Lemon." " Okay, all right." "To the future." "ALL:" "To the future." "What a wonderful nursery." "Beautiful!" "Warm and loving." "Well, thank you." "I renovated it myself." "Hey, I helped." "Watched." "I watched you." "Yeah, there we go." "(chuckles)" "You are so adorable." "You know, I love my Joel, but I always thought the two of you" " were meant to be." " You could feel the sparks." "Yeah, burnt me in the eye a couple times." "Very funny." "So how is life in New York?" "Wonderful!" "Every day's a new adventure." " Museums..." " I can barely keep up with this one." "Marrying her was the smartest thing I ever did." "ZOE:" "Aw." "All right, get a room." "Aw." " What about you?" " What about us?" "Uh, when are you guys tying the knot?" "SYLVIE:" "Yeah, you're starting a family." "I'm sure the topic's come up." "Well, it came up, and this one promptly fled the damn state." "Zoom!" "Like the Road Runner." "To be fair, my timing wasn't, uh, ideal." "W-But you're planning to get married at some point, right?" " Yeah, of course, eventually." " Nah, we don't believe in marriage." "WADE:" "You don't believe in marriage?" "!" "Don't you think somehow this is maybe something you should have mentioned?" "Well, I thought that we were on the same page." "You know, the page that agrees marriage is stupid." "Stupid?" "You guys do realize we're standing right here?" "Yeah, well, I'm upset, and I needed a snack." "Did you know this?" "She doesn't believe in marriage?" "Sure." "It's one of her go-to rants." "But she has so many." ""There's a West Virginia, there should be an East Virginia."" "Marriage is paternalistic." "It is rooted in the dowry system." "You know, fathers selling off their daughters in exchange for some..." " Some cows." " Wha...?" "This isn't familiar to you?" "No!" "No, somehow in four years of knowing this woman, this particular quirk has never been covered." "What else are you hiding from me?" "You even a doctor?" "You got married to Tansy after three weeks, while drunk." "Okay?" "Since when do you even care about this stuff?" "Since I met you." "LEMON and LAVON:" "Aw." "Zoe, you have to admit, that was pretty sweet." "If you don't marry him, I will." "All right, buddy, that's it." "George, I just don't get why you can't come with me now." "I'm your most important client, and I'm scared and needy." "I have a case that I got to wrap up, and as soon as I'm done, I will come, okay?" "Text me when you're on the road." " You're gonna be great, Meatball." " (clears throat)" "You're gonna be the best act in that showcase." " Mm." " Hell, yeah, I am." "Those people are about to get Meatballed." "Hard... in the face!" " Huh." " Ah." "(engine starts)" "Okay." " (tires screech)" " Okay." "Oh!" "Be safe!" "Ah." "You sure you're okay if I skip this one?" "Of course, baby." "You have been so supportive of this entire process." " Oh." " And, well, I think it's time that we let some other people experience the, uh..." " Meatballing?" " Yeah, he has really got to stop" " saying that. (chuckles)" " Yes, he does." "You've been awfully quiet today." "What's going on?" "Oh, it's silly." "AB had this dream prophesying the end of the world." " It's got me rattled." " Come on." "You know dreams are just someone's subconscious working stuff out." "Doesn't mean anything." "Of course." "You're right." "Thank you for being the sensible one." "Oh, shoot." "There's a water main break in Fillmore." "All local fire departments are being called in to deal with it." "I got to go." " Oh." " I'll text you later, okay, babe?" "Okay." "Bye." " Oh, Dash!" " (gasps)" ""Foe" means enemy, right?" "Well, uh... well, yes." "Why?" "A flood will smite a foe!" "Oh!" "Uh-huh." "You know, I can't believe Wade and Zoe never had a conversation about something that important." "I know." "Lavon, just to be clear, so we avoid similar bickering down the line, I..." "Now, Lemon Breeland, it's not even a question." "Nothing would make me happier than to marry you someday." "Okay, but there's no rush, because we've only been together a month, so..." "Absolutely." "We got all the time in the world." "(laughs)" "Yeah, well, I wouldn't be so sure." "(car horn honks)" "(seagulls calling)" "(birds singing)" "Crickett, it was just a dream, nothing more." "And you know that there's no such things as omens." "Oh, so it was just a coincidence that our foe happened to be flooded today?" "Yeah, sure." "Water mains break all the time in Alabama." "So when did the last one break?" "If you'll excuse me." "So, since it's our last day on Earth, shall I grill up that salmon tonight for dinner?" "(laughs)" "♪ From Alabama to Tennessee, she's riding with me ♪" "Welcome." "Welcome, Brick!" "(excited chatter, laughter)" "Aah!" "Ooh!" "Oh, easy, easy now." "Oh." "What the hell?" "Hang gliding injury." "We should have strapped him in." "You mean you went hang gliding without a safety harness?" "What the hell were you thinking?" "Doc, we had a roof, a couple trash bags, an aluminum arm chair, bunch of duct tape and a dream." "And a whole lot of beers." "We're ticking things off our bucket list." "Oh, I know what this tomfoolery is all about." "You-you knuckleheads heard about AnnaBeth's silly end-of-the-world dream, now, didn't you?" "Hold the phone!" "You're saying the world's ending?" "!" "We had no idea that was happening!" "Oh, we got to get through that bucket list fast." "After the doc heals up Chicken, we're gonna go confront that bear" " that's been giving us dirty looks." " Yeah." "And I'm gonna learn how to read!" "CRICKETT:" "A chicken will be sent to bed, a city street will run blood red." " Red?" "!" "You mean, red with blood?" " Like in The Shining?" "Darkness will replace the light." "Life as you know it ends tonight." " I haven't lived!" "(gasps)" " I always wanted to go to Vegas!" "Oh, dear." "AnnaBeth, do you think this was a prophecy?" "Are we gonna die?" "'Cause if so, I got to cancel my hair appointment." "A reaction to Fancie's spicy shrimp." "LEMON:" "Yes." " We use a lot of paprika." " Mm-hmm." "Guess we-we just gonna have to" " wait and see." "Yeah!" " We die, we know who to blame." " Oh." " You guys." "Okay." "Crickett, what were you thinking?" "!" "Whipping the Pritchetts all up into a lather?" "!" "I was trying to give them the chance to make amends before, poof, we can't!" "It is not the end of the world, Crickett." "Maybe not, but AB's dream was a wake-up call." "It's time to make amends before it's too late." "And you know who I can't stop thinking about?" "LEMON:" "Who?" "Smelly Marjorie." "Oh." "Smelly Marjorie." "We were not nice to her in high school, not at all." "Wait." "Was she the one that we kicked off the cheerleading squad for her...?" "Peculiar odor, yes." "I've always felt guilty about Smelly Marjorie." "I heard she works at the Pensacola Philharmonic." " Let's go." " You know what?" "I don't believe one iota of this whole dream nonsense, but we should apologize to Smelly Marjorie, and why not today?" "Mm-hmm." "Yeah, we should probably stop calling her that first." "I thought all women wanted to get married." "Thought they pranced around their bedrooms with blankets on their head, pretending it was their wedding day." "Not your girl." "I'm having an out-of-body experience here." "Me, Wade Kinsella, tore up 'cause some woman doesn't want to marry me." "Maybe I have pregnancy hormones." "Wait." "Is that possible?" "'Cause I might have them, too." "You know, I've been getting real weepy over dog food commercials lately." " Hey, maybe I should get a dog." " Lavon." "Oh." "There is a serious situation you need to take care of." "See, last night, AnnaBeth had" " a dream..." " PATTY:" "A flood will smite a foe!" "A former couple will say..." "N.O.!" "I already heard about AnnaBeth's big omen... dream, and I'm-I'm not worried." "The Pritchetts are like Henny Penny and Chicken Little." "Well, I-I think Henny Penny is Chicken Little." "It's the same story." "Who's Henny Penny and Chicken Little?" "Okay, look, the point is that people in this town are too sensible to fall for this nonsense." "BOTH:" "And then we're all gonna die!" "(sobbing)" " That doesn't even make any sense." " None of that could possibly happen." "DASH:" "Other people's dreams are so boring." "Haven't you two got any common sense?" "Mm-hmm." "Well, the Truitt brothers believe it." "They've been in my office five times." "Hang gliding, uh, ice dancing inside the freezer, drinking pop rocks and moonshine." "Look, everything's gonna be fine." "Just have a little faith in Bluebell." "I'll see you later." "(sighs)" "Can I get you a final beer?" "(engine hissing)" "Stupid!" "(horn honks)" "Hey!" "(chuckles) Can I offer you a ride, sir?" "(sighs)" "Well, I have a strict policy against strangers chopping me up into a million pieces." "Oh, yeah?" "Well, if it helps, I'm a doctor, not an ax murderer." "(chuckles)" "(chuckles) Wow." " That was a long time ago, wasn't it?" " Yeah." "What are you doing all the way out here?" "I had to pick up some new blood pressure monitors in Biloxi." "Get in." "Oh, no, no, no, no." "I..." "You know what," "I was just gonna call Tom." "I got a long trip ahead of me, so..." "Dude, all that's waiting for me in Bluebell is the Truitts' bucket list and a very angry boyfriend." " I'll fill you in on the way." " All right." " But where we going?" " Uh, New Orleans, actually." "(chuckles) Oh, you are kidding." " No." " Okay." "But on the way, you're gonna have to help me figure out a way to get Wade to not want to marry me." "Uh..." "Oh, and also I'm gonna want to stop for beignets." "And I have to pee a bunch." "Also, I have veto power" " over the radio." " Wow." "I do not know why Wade would want to actually marry you right now... you are very demanding lately." "(line ringing)" " Hi, Zoe." " Hey, Wade." "Still mad?" "Mad?" "No." "Frustrated?" "Yes." "Well, I'm gonna give you some time to get over that because I'm gonna drive George to Meatball's show." "In New Orleans?" "Yes, but I'll be back tonight and we can talk then, okay?" "You just need to tell Brick he needs to cover for me." "Oh, she's not coming back today, is she?" "Yeah." "Brick and I will be here, getting used to a very different future than the one we expected." "Look, tell Meatball I said "break a leg", all right?" "And text me when you're on your way back." "Love you." "I love you, too." "Bye." "Oh, fudge sticks up a fudge tree!" "Uh, o-ow." "Ha." "Uh, watch your language." "Well, I am sorry, but my... fellow town doctor's just leaving me alone all day so she can skip off to New Orleans with George Tucker." "Dr. Hart and George Tucker are going to New Orleans together?" "A former couple will say N.O." "No, no." "I-I didn't mean..." "Look, Zoe and George were never actually a couple." "Believe me." "I have firsthand knowledge of the situation." "They are as much a couple as any star-crossed pair." "Wait, that means the second omen has landed." "We're gonna die!" "I'm gonna lock up my store in case of looting." "Citizens of Bluebell, our beloved founder," "Cyrus Lavinius Jeremiah Jones, came to AnnaBeth Nass in a dream." "And I'm sure he chose her for a reason." "A good reason." "And I'm not hurt about it, not even a little." "I..." "Tom, focus." "End of times." "Sorry." "CLJ-squared foretold five omens to signal the end at midnight tonight." "It's chaos." "There's gonna be chaos, I'm warning you." "The Truitts pierced their belly button with fishing hooks." "Brick, look, it doesn't look so bad." "It's just a few of the usual eccentrics trying to create a spectacle." "The end is nigh!" "CHICKEN:" "Woo!" "Yeah, it is!" "Which is why" "I will now break-dance atop the gazebo 'cause I have always wanted to do that!" "Chicken!" "No, no, no!" "Chicken!" "No, no, no!" "No, Chicken, I already told you, you need to go home and rest!" "Dr. Breeland, you just sent a Chicken to bed!" "No, no." "Wanda, no." "I said..." "I said he needed to rest." " Well, where is he gonna rest?" "!" "Bed!" " The couch!" "The-the couch is fine." "It's the third omen!" " That's not what I..." " DELMA:" "That's it!" "It's decided then!" "I'm learning to kiteboard!" "I'm gonna watch TV with my mom!" "I'm gonna legally change my name from Little Zach to Tank!" "No one ever called someone named Tank little!"

"I call it the One Tenor!" "I'm gonna cheat on my husband!" "(laughter)" "I fear this apocalypse rumor might be a problem." "Oh, you think?" "TOM:" "Wanda, let's set the alpacas free." "They deserve to know the taste of freedom." "First, let's do it in the gazebo!" "(crowd cheering)" " Oh..."

"Look Lavon, maybe you should impose a curfew." "No." "No, no." "There is no need to resort to a curfew." "But..." "Attention, Bluebell!" "Today is not the last day on Earth." "As the mayor, I assure you of that." "(crowd booing)" "But it is a-a great day for us all to-to be together and have fun." "As, uh, as a town." " Yeah!" " Huh?"

"All food and drinks on me." " (crowd cheering)" " Yeah!" "Marjorie?" "Oh, my God, Marjorie!" "Hi!" " Sorry, do I know you?" " It's Crickett..." "Crickett Watts, that's AnnaBeth Nass, Lemon Breeland." " It's so good to see you." " You look fantastic." "I love what you've done with your hair." "So cute." "Oh, you must remember us." "Bluebell High?" "Sorry." "Now, if you'll excuse me..." "We were in cheerleading together." "Sort of." " Crickett, maybe we should just..." " We are here to make amends."

"So I don't believe in marriage." "You know, my parents... theirs was a complete sham, so why would I?" " Because Wade does." " But why?" "We love each other." "We're having a baby together." "Why do we need some piece of paper to prove it?" "Because it's... about more than just a piece of paper, Zoe." "I mean, we're... (chuckles) we're talking about Wade Kinsella, a renowned ladies' man that we're talking about here." "And now he wants to stand up in front of everyone he cares about and vow that he will love you and be faithful to you for the rest of his life." "Forever." "I mean, it's like, it's the last stage of his metamorphosis, you know?" "He wants to... he wants to show us all how, just how-how much he's changed." "And that's a pretty damn big deal." "Wow, that is so..." "Why didn't he say all that?" "Because even though he's changed, he's... he's still Wade." "Look, and it's not just about Wade." "I mean, all of us would like to sit there" " and see y'all get hitched." " Does sound kind of fun." " Mm-hmm." "Yeah." " Meaningful, even." "Wade is probably not gonna bring it up again." "No, no, he most definitely will not." "Ball is squarely in your court." "Yeah." "My court." "If the Blawker is to be believed, well, the world's probably ending in a couple of hours." "Well, you better hurry up and make up your mind then." "Uh..." " George?" " Hmm?" "Step on it." "I'm proposing to Wade tonight." "Yes, ma'am." "(both laugh)" "ANNABETH:" "Well, at least Cricket is spending her last night with Jaysene." "Four omens." "I can't believe it." "I mean, whoever would've guessed a rhyming Cyrus Lavinius Jeremiah Jones... in the form of Lavon Hayes... would actually know what he's talking about." "Wait." "You never said that he looked like Lavon." "How odd." "Well, you think it means something?" "Well, I mean, it might." "Maybe..." "Maybe the end of the world is about you letting go of Lavon." "I have already let him go." "Honey, you never truly let go of someone that you used to love until you love someone new." "Are you... are you saying this is about George?" "That I..." "Whoa." "(crowd cheering)" "JEFFRIES:" "What is going on here?" "This is ridiculous." "Bunch of hooligans." "I've been wanting to do this for 40 years." "Oh." "(lights crackling)" "(lights boom, crowd gasps)" "Darkness will replace the light, this'll be our final night!" " The fifth omen!" " (crowd gasps)" "OK, you go find George." "I will go find Lavon." "All right?" "(phone ringing)" "LEMON:" "Lavon?" "Lemon, hey." "Where are you, honey?" "I-I can't see anything." "Yeah, I know, I know." "It's kind of crazy." "Look, m-m-meet me at my house." "Okay, okay." "And voilà." "(chuckles softly)" "_" "(sighs)" " (phone chimes)" " Oh." "Uh, it's AnnaBeth." "Oh, I got to go find her." "Wait, y-you have to spell out "Wade."" "I think he knows his own name." "Right." "Ugh." "Thank you." "Go find AB." "Okay." "Thanks." "Oh, and, uh..." "Congratulations." " (ringtone playing)" " Ooh." "Wade." "Hey." "All right." "What?" "Brick tried to do what?" "Okay, I-I'm on my way." "What happened?" "Is everything okay?" "Brick hurt his ankle mud-dogging with the Truitts and Wade." "Any chance you could just make sure these don't blow out?" "Seriously?" "Zoe, there's-there's no wind out here." "The candles last for two hours." "Annabeth's waiting for me." " Right, okay" " Okay." "(laughs)" "Frank." "This is for the ticket you bought me to Basic Instinct" " back in 92." " Oh, thanks, Delma." "See you on the other side, hopefully." "Hey, AB, where's George?" "Oh, on his way." "Oh, and he texted me that you killed it tonight." "Congratulations." "You're a lucky lady." "I still can't believe he turned Pammy down." "What Pammy?" "Turned her down for what?" "Oh." "(laughs)" "Nothing." "Just... sex." "LAVON (sighs):" "You know, it's nice out here in the moonlight." "Enchanting." "Like you." "(chuckles)" "You know what I realized while everyone was running around doing their bucket list thing?" "Mm?" "You are my bucket list." "My whole bucket list." "So sweet." "I love you." "And I want to spend as much time with you as I can." "For the rest of my life." "Even if, uh... it's only 45 minutes." "_" "Uh... (laughs)" "Yes!" "(laughing) Oh, yes!" "(Lemon laughing)" "Yes?" "Yes!" "I always wondered what mud-dogging was like." "Oh, that pain pill really helps." "Oh!" "Oh, I got to call Shelby." "Oh, no, I called her." "She's on her way." "Brick, hope you feel better." "Call me if you need anything, okay?" "Wade, let's go." "What's the big rush?" "I just want to get home, you know?" "Is that such a crime?" "Come on." "Zoe, W..." "Just hang on a minute, all right?" " Look, tonight was... it was a blast." " Mm-hmm." "And I love you and I want to marry you, even if you frustrate the hell out of me half the time." " Quit while you're ahead." " But, look, I don't want to fight, okay?" "So whatever you want to do on the wedding front is fine by me." "I won't..." "Just shut the hell up, Wade." "I have a surprise for you." "Come on." " But..." " Come on." "Oh, Shelby... (laughs)" "AnnaBeth." " Oh, George, over here." " Hey." "Sorry it took me so long." "I had to help Zoe out with a..." " a favor." " Mm-hmm." "You okay?" "George, I... just had a talk with Meatball, and he told me about the job offer in Nashville." "That was unnecessary." "I..." "I already turned it down." "For me?" "Well, I mean, for a lot of reasons, but, yes, you are at the top of the list." "George, this is an amazing opportunity." "I can't just let you give that up." " AnnaBeth..." " For the first time in my whole life, my future isn't all laid out for me, and I kind of love that." "Nursing school is amazing, and who knows where that's gonna take me?" "And you love music managing." "You're right, but... what about us?" "Nashville is only a two-hour flight." "And you are worth the trip." "It's not gonna be the same." "No." "No, it won't." "But we're gonna be okay." "'Cause you're gonna slay 'em, George Tucker." "And you know what?" "If this really is our last night on Earth, then I want to know that we spent every second of it... chasing our dreams." "(crowd cheering)" "One minute till midnight!" "Yeah!" "Well, I got to admit, this is pretty exciting." "Should we stick around?" "See what happens?" "No, we have to go." "Okay." "What the hell's the big surprise?" "We're engaged!" "FRANK:" "Congratulations!" "How'd it happen?" "LEMON:" "Oh, my gosh, so Lavon picked out the most romantic place on the plantation and he spelled out "marry me" in candles." "Isn't that so wonderful?" "Oh." "Hey!" "Can I talk to you?" "At least somebody's getting married around here." "You stole my proposal!" "Wha..." "That was you?" "You hate marriage." "I thought it was Wade's." "Wait, is that relevant?" "I'm sorry, Z. We came across the candles and-and Lemon assumed, and-and she was so happy, and-and, you know, I got caught up, and, well, I-I do want to marry her, so I-I just let it" "play out." "But I-I will tell the truth." "Right now." "I promise." "Isn't this the most exciting night ever?" "(giggles)" "Oh, forget it." "Good grief." "Hey, so what was the big surprise?" "Nothing." "MEATBALL:" "Ten seconds!" "Nine!" "ALL:" "Eight!" "Seven!" "Six!" "Five!" "Four!" "Three!" "Two!" "One!" "(crickets chirping)" "One!" "Cyrus Lavinius Jeremiah Jones was wrong!" "(crowd cheering)" "Bluebell is still here!" "(crowd cheering)" "Now is the time." "Everyone's here." "Um, excuse me, everybody!" "Um..." "I'm sorry, but can I have your attention just for... just for a minute." "I'm glad we're all still here." "(chuckles)" "Because to me, uh," "Bluebell's more than just a town." "It's a family." "And it's my home." "And it always will be." "But as of tomorrow, I won't be living here anymore." "I am, uh..." "I'm moving to Nashville to take a job up there." "I guess I just wanted to say that I'm gonna miss y'all." "All of you." "George is leaving." "Cyrus was right." "This is the end of Bluebell as we know it."
