"Excuse me?" "I haven't bedazzled anything since I was 22." "David, you were dressed like a harlequin, and you were gluing shiny jewels... perhaps that was just a night terror." "Um... oh God." "Okay." "Oh." "Well!" "Uh..." "Hello." "Hi, uh, I'm-I'm Jake." "Oh, of course you are." " David?" " Um, Jake, this is my mother." "Listen, I'm really sorry," "I didn't think anybody would be home."

"Nobody was home!" " Nobody was home!" " Oh, here it is!" "Ha ha ha!" "Nice to meet you, Jacob." "If you take half as much care of our son" " as you do your physique," " Okay!"

"Your next big opportunity, that's who." "What opportunity?" "Well, Cal's doing big business, and since you two are sharing an office, uh, I thought you might wanna get in on some of it." "Sharing an office?" "You've... rented out my office space?" "!" "Well, Johnny, you weren't exactly paying rent, and Cal's business is booming."

"Ah, never heard that one before." " How are you?" " I'm good, good." "Tennessee and I are actually goin' on a trip for a while, so..." "Wow, like, Tulum?" "Or..." "Uh, just gonna get in our car, and drive up the coast, let the road take us where it wants." "No plans, no phones, no schedules." "Basically my worst nightmare." "Sounds very adventurous." "Yeah, well, I just needed to get away for a while, you know?" "So uh, what's new with you guys?" "Well, Alexis came home to a naked man in her bathroom." " Cool." " Um no, it wasn't cool, because he wasn't actually there for me, which made everything very awkward, and uncomfortable for everyone." "Well, you're free to use the barn while I'm away." "You know, if you need some privacy." "I was actually looking for someone to water the plants, and check over the place, so..." "Oh, well, thank you, Mutt." "That actually might be good for me." "Well, we're leaving this afternoon, so you know, just swing by and grab the keys." "That's very generous." "Is that weird?" "Parents are complaining that they're struggling to get off work early enough to pick up their kids, and so that's why we would like to extend the after school daycare program by half an hour." "That's an idea we'll... give some real thought to." "Spoken like a true politician." "Ah!" "Vivacity aside, our children's safety is no laughing matter." "As a mother who once invested a great deal of time and money into her children," "I, for one, stand by the request to extend the hours of the daycare." "One might think that an additional 30 minutes will have no impact, but you tell that to the mother whose manicurist just applied the wrong color, and must start all over again, or the father who got stuck in a mine!" "That extra half hour could be the difference between a child who gets picked up safely, and one who wanders the street, waiting for a dust-covered man to emerge from the darkness!" "We do wait with the kids..." "Is that really what we want for our town?" "Homeless toddlers?" "!" "Tugging at your pant legs?" "!" "Okay Moira, I think you've made your point." "I assure you, council will examine this issue thoroughly and carefully." "Your children will be safe, that is a promise!" "Moira, what are you doing?" "You undermined my authority!" "We were losing our audience!" "You saw the walkouts." "And on opening night!" " This isn't a theatre!" " Isn't it?" "Look, you can't go making blind promises to these people!" "This isn't "Sunrise Bay,"" "where everybody lives in a perfect dream world!" "I'll have you know," "Sunrise Bay was a coastal community plagued by a centuries-old curse!" "I hate to jump in here, but you told me I should use the bathroom during the break, and uh, the line's getting really long!" " Go for it, Bob." " Ohhh!" "Ronnie, you have whispers of a maternal instinct." "Isn't this issue important to you?" "It's not a matter of importance, it's a matter of money!" "Then find the money!" "Ohhh, okay, why don't I just tiptoe into my orchard of money trees, and fill my basket with money for you!" "And while we're at it, why don't I gather up some diamond carrots, and some golden potatoes!" "And I don't mean the kind of potatoes you eat," "I mean, the... potatoes that are made out of actual gold." "Okay, there must be some solution." "To the problem you just caused?" "I'm sure you'll figure somethin' out." "Oh, welcome to the show." "Well, first, I wanna say thank you, Amy, for taking the time to see me today." "It's actually Amygrace." "Amygrace, well, apologies." "It's funny, 'cause I remember when our families used to vacation together, you were just "Little Amy."" "I've always been Amygrace." "Ah... well then, just call me Johnnymichael." "You know, I-I'm very interested in your business," "Amy... grace." "It's been very fulfilling." "Yeah. "Screamnastics."" ""Screamnastics," I read that's a combination of gymnastics and um... screaming?" "Scream therapy, yes." "And extreme juicing." "Ah well, I'm a big juice fan myself." "Just so you know, Mr. Rose, most orange juices have frighteningly high sugar levels." "Okay..." "So, here's the important thing." "I believe this town could be the perfect spot for your next franchise." "Here's the issue, Mr. Rose," "I've been touring small towns, in an extensive market research trip." "And unfortunately, what we're discovering is that most "rural" communities just don't have the same interest in health." "Or wellness." "Or what we like to call," ""Screamnastic inner/outer beauty connectivity."" "Well, I know a lot of people here who are very connected to their inner and outer beauty." "And even more who could use some of that "Screamnastic" connect... tivity." "I love your enthusiasm, Mr. Rose." "It's very "Screamnastic."" "Well, this town is very "Screamnastic," Amygrace." "Why don't we circle back in I don't know, six months, and see how things are going then?" "Yes, sure, sure, sure." "We can do that." "Tell you what, why not make it three months?" "Let's circle back in three months, and that way we might be able to... open a "Screamnasium" by Christmas." "Oh, we don't call them that." "But it's been so great seeing you, Mr. Rose." "And my parents say hi, by the way." "They were beside themselves when they found out what happened to you guys." "Well, we're okay." "We're doing just fine, thank you." "Anyway, you take care."

"Listen, I don't want to cause any drama." " We don't want any drama!" " Who wants drama?" "Nobody... does." "Some clarity would've been nice." " You know?" " Totally, yeah." "I just uh..." "I assumed you guys were cool with it." "Yeah, I don't think it's a matter of not being cool with it," "I don't think that's..." "that's not what this is, it's um, what this is, is a clarity thing." "Yeah." "So you are cool with it?" "Yeah, I'm cool with it now." "I'm not not cool with it." "I don't think that was ever the thing, so..." "I don't think anybody's not cool here." "Okay, cool." "Well, hello again, you beautiful people." "I would love to circle back to this matter of the extended daycare hours." "Although I made some excellent points, in the interest of a fair and balanced discussion," "I will now argue the other side of the issue." "One of my fondest memories from childhood were weekdays, between 5:30 and 6 P.M." "That was our time!" "And we would've fought anyone who dared try to take it away from us." "So you're not extending the hours?" "Do we really want Big Brother programming every waking minute of our children's lives?" "!" "So is that a yes or a no, I..." " It's an absolutely." " Absolutely what?" "Absolutely crucial... absolutely crucial!" "Crucial that we... approach-that... that we entertain every..." " approach." "I don't..." " Ahem!" "We'll think about it." "Alexis!" "What's... what's up?" "Hey, it's you." "Um, we just came by to pick up the keys for the barn." "The keys to... this barn?" "Yeah, Mutt asked me to just pop by, and keep an eye on the place while you are gone." "Okay." "This is just the first I'm hearing about it, which is fine." "If I had known you were staying at our place," "I would've cleaned the sheets for you guys." "Oh no, we're not together." "You literally could not have said that any faster." "Hey babe, I'm just getting caught up here." "So, Alexis is crashing at our place?" "Not crashing." "It just caught me off guard, 'cause I didn't know that there was an arrangement here." "I don't know about arrangement, it just sorta happened." "You're the one who said you don't like to plan things." "Well, I like to plan things sometimes." "Uh, so Tennessee," "Mutt tells us that you guys are heading up the coast?" " Yes!" " Yeah, we're meeting some friends." "We're going on a pinecone harvest." "Pinecone harvest?" "We're picking pinecones." "I got this old compass at a flea market;" "we're just gonna drive until we see the pine trees." "Hmm, that sounds like it is gonna be... super fun and intense." "Mutt, you didn't tell me about..." "Yeah, the pinecones." "So, we know roughly where we're going." "I'm pretty sure the compass is broken, though." "Well, I think that it's better to just freefall into it." " Yes." " Yeah, but like I said, it wouldn't hurt to bring a map." "Anyway, you pick the pinecones, and they harvest the seeds." "It sounds like this is going to be like, a very um, cathartic journey for you guys." " Here's hoping." " Hmm!" "Yeah." "So uh, here's the keys." "And take care of the place." "Don't throw any parties." "Pinky swear." "Hmm, we should probably get going." "We were going... to hit the hot springs before the sun sets!"
