Get my sister!

Hi!

Hey, George Jones.

I missed you, too.

Oh, Baby Girl!

We weren't expecting
you until next week!

- Surprise!
- Yay!

Baby!

Mom!

Oh, baby, you're home!

Here you go.

Have you seen our Instagram?



She's got 563 followers.

And the new logo.

It's on the website, too.

I liked the old logo.

Well...

Why'd we need a new one?

Just let the poor
girl eat, alright?

Sorry.

The sauce tastes different.

Did you change Grandpa's recipe?

No, not exactly.

What does you mean,
"not exactly"?

Oh, Callie.

We ran out of Grandpa
Tucker's original recipe,

like, six months ago.

So now it's store-bought.

Shipped from New Orleans.

- Store-bought?
- Mm-hmm.

Seriously?

What happened to
Grandpa's recipe?

Oh, we can't seem
to find it now,

can we, Willa?

You lost it?

I didn't lose it.

Dad never wrote it down.

Well, if you would just
clean out your desk drawers

just once in a blue moon,

My desk is a pristine
palace compared to yours.

Well, at least you
two haven't changed.

Yeah.

What about Tucker's
Fall Music Festival?

Oh, of course!

That is a Tucker's tradition!

Yeah, but so is Grandpa's
sauce, Aunt Willa.

You can't serve store-bought
at the festival,

and you know it.

Well, the way the
ticket sales are goin',

sauce is the last thing
I'm worried about.

I'm going to find that
recipe and make a batch.

- He said he'd write it down.
- Well, he didn't,

and I have looked everywhere.

Trust me.

Ahem.

I reckon we're going to
have to talk about this

later, ladies.

How do I look?

Alright.

Honey, wait.

Oh...

we should have warned her.

But you said we should
mind our own business.

Hang out next.

I picked every song. I
think it's going to be...

Guess who.

- Callie!
- Hey.

When did you get back?

I just got off the bus.

Are you glad to see me?

Of course!

Welcome home, Callie!

It's so good to see you.

And thank you for your service.

Yeah...

You know, I should have
written you about Lynne.

I just...

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

We said no strings, right?

I didn't expect you
to wait two years.

It's okay, honest.

Don't beat yourself up.

You know, I took over
Brad Oshi's practice,

right after Christmas.

For like the first three months,

I was the only
pediatrician in Lockhart,

and...

That ain't an excuse, I'm sorry.

It's okay...

It's okay.

Can we still be friends?

Sure. Of course.

You coming in?

Yeah. In a minute.

Take the truck.

Your room's all ready.

And I'll see you
back there, okay?

Thanks, Mom.

"Tucker's Roadhouse.

Owned and operated

by guitarist John
Wakefield Tucker.

The cradle of country music,

where Martina McBride
was discovered..."

Come on, let's stop.

Don't you want to see where
they discovered Martina?

I don't know what
a Martina is, Dan.

Don't you want to sample

the "best barbecue
east of the river?"

They got live music
every night of the week.

There's no stops.

It's just up here on
the right. Come on.

When are we going to
be in Tennessee again?

It's kind of a once in
a lifetime thing, man.

You don't want to
be on your deathbed,

thinking you missed a chance
to sample historic barbecue.

I'll be on my
deathbed soon enough

if I don't show up on time with
Jillian's birthday present.

Luke, you've been
working non-stop.

You've gotta slow down.

Isn't it your job

to make your clients
work more, not less?

Well, your agent is
also your best friend,

who doesn't want to
see you burn out.

It's not healthy, my friend.

Look! Tucker's!
Right here! Come on.

Alright, we'll do your Tucker's.

Are you okay?

- I'm fine...
- Are you sure?

Oh, dear God.

Great.

I think we're okay,
thank goodness.

Callie, what happened?

Are you all right, honey?

I'm fine,

this guy just came flying in...

I'm not sure that I
was flying, but okay.

Well, it is a parking lot.

Well, as long as
nobody's hurt, right?

We're at fault. We're
at fault. We're sorry.

We were flying.

Again with the flying?

What am I, a bird?

Is there any damage?

No, I think he
just hit the wheel.

Listen,

if you find even a scratch,

in even a month,

don't hesitate to call me, okay?

My name is Dan
Cartwright, I'm his agent.

- His agent?
- Yeah.

Luke is an award-winning
television director.

Again, if there's any
repairs needed at all,

we promise that
we'll pay for it...

And thank you for your service!

Do you represent
musicians, Mr. Cartwright?

Oh, my gosh.

Come inside.

Best barbeque east of the river.

- Willa!
- What?

You might find your
next Grammy winner

right here at Tucker's!

Unfortunately, we're kind
of on a tight schedule.

Daniel.

Yeah?

Yeah, the car's not starting.

Oh...

Looks like you'll have
some time after all.

You gonna eat that?

♪ There's a place I go

♪ A place only I know...

Sorry, boys.

Looks like that pyro switch
knocked out your power supply.

Can you fix it?

It's kind of a...

a birthday present
for my girlfriend.

I could...

If I had the part.

You know classic cars like
this, parts are hard to find.

Yeah.

Maybe they got it in Franklin.

I'll give 'em a call tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yeah, tomorrow.

Look what time it is.

- I'll get back to you.
- Thank you.

♪ Down by the river

♪ It's where I...

Well, my sister was against it,

but I said, the room's
just sittin' open,

and people are always
looking for vacation rentals,

and when I say Sam
Hunt slept here,

I mean, that is no lie.

Of course, he wasn't
famous then yet,

bur who cares?

- Sam Hunt.
- Yeah, I heard.

So...

here we are.

If you get cold,

there's an extra
blanket in the cupboard,

and hangers, soap...

What else?

Thank you very
much. Appreciate it.

Oh, my pleasure.

Oh, shower's brand-new.

Really excellent pressure.

And my sister might
be singing tonight

if you boys want to come down.

I think we're kind of
tired from the drive.

Of course.

Well, sleep tight,

don't let the bedbugs bite!

Joking!

Okay.

Well, I didn't see
this one coming.

Of all the places
to get stranded.

Come on, buddy. Relax.

No, I don't think I will relax.

I think I'm going to listen
to country music all night

from this bed.

I thought you'd
be asleep by now.

Thanks for not turnin' my
room into your sewing room

while I was on tour.

Well, for one thing,

I don't sew.

You know what I mean.

At least something's
the way I remember it.

Is this about Joe
or the new logo?

It's everything, Mom.

I know it's silly,

expecting to come home

after being gone for so long

and to find things
the way I left 'em.

Maybe not silly.

A bit unrealistic.

What are you writing?

I'm trying to remember
Grandpa Tucker's recipe.

I always helped him make it.

We'd make a batch
every summer, remember?

He'd throw in pinches of this,

dashes of that...

He said he'd write it down.

Oh, honey, I thought he had,

but I have looked everywhere.

I bet I can remember it
if I try hard enough.

Our reputation's at stake.

"Best barbecue this
side of the river."

I don't care two
pins about that.

You know what I care about?

Having you home, safe and sound.

I missed you, Callie.

I missed you, too, Mama.

Stop worrying about some recipe.

And get some sleep.

I'm on a mission, Mom.

No ingredient left behind.

Well, some things don't change.

You're not gonna
find it in there,

I already looked.

Doesn't hurt to look again.

Oh, before I forget,

can you...

Can you pick up these
donations in town?

Sure.

Thank you.

Aunt Willa...

what's this?

Is Tucker's applying for a loan?

The sound system
needs an overhaul,

there's no two ways about it.

As a matter of fact,

I'll go to the bank today

to get a low-interest
payment plan.

Excuse me.

Do you guys happen to have
anything for a headache?

Also, this is a gift...

From your dog.

I appreciate the gesture, pal,

but I think it
belongs to you guys.

Good morning, Mr. Ellis.
How are you feeling?

Rested? How was the mattress?

The mattress was
very comfortable,

- thank you, Willa.
- Good.

How about a fresh cup of coffee?

Good cure for a headache.

That would help. Thank you.

I'll see you two
later. Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Alrighty.

You might want to
plug your ears.

This is gonna be loud.

What's that?

Almost done!

Unrelated question...

You guys ever think about

sound proofing
that room upstairs?

Not a country music
fan, I take it.

It's not really on
my playlist, no.

You should give it a shot.

Country music is special

because it allows people
to share their truth

and to share their stories.

Do all the stories
have to be sad?

I think I heard "cheating heart"

at least a hundred
times last night.

Open mic night.

The beginners go
for Hank Williams.

He's Willa's favorite.

She says he's the
Shakespeare of country music.

Does your aunt own this place?

She and my mom do.

That's my Grandpa Tucker.

He passed while I was deployed.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, look,

I want to apologize
for yesterday.

I feel like that was my fault.

Okay, I should have
been more careful.

I'll take some of the blame.

Driving while being a cry baby.

Cry baby?

Should I ask why?

Not unless you want to hear
another Hank Williams song.

Cheating heart?

Not quite.

Joe and I didn't
make any promises.

I was deployed for two years.

Can't expect a man
to wait that long.

That depends on the man.

High-school sweethearts.

Too young to know our own minds.

Sounds like you're
taking it pretty well.

My grandpa always said,
"trouble is transportation."

A bad thing can take
you to a good place.

Speaking of which,

do you think your truck can
maybe take me into town?

Are you callin' my
truck a bad thing?

No, ma'am, I'm calling
your town a good place.

Nice save.

- Thanks.
- Sure, I'll give you ride.

Appreciate it.

You comin'?

Right now?

Mm-hmm.

You want a ride, it's now.

♪ Well, it's impossible to win

♪ An argument with you...

Do you mind terribly if we...

just turn this down?

My head is killing me.

Is that all right?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

You know, it's not the
music giving you a headache,

it's your posture.

What wrong with my posture?

You stick your chin out
like a prize fighter

and it constricts
your blood flow.

Excuse me?

You're tensing your
labii inferioris.

I bet you grind
your teeth at night.

You probably need a mouthguard.

How would you know
if I grind at night?

Because I'm a DPT.

What's a DPT?

Doctor of Physical Therapy.

Okay. You don't
work at Tucker's?

I start my new job at the
VA next month, actually,

and I am in charge
of the whole ward.

Congratulations.

Am I going to get a
bill for this diagnosis?

Complimentary coffee,
complimentary medical advice.

Well, I appreciate that.

Can you hold on
one sec? Excuse me.

Sure.

Hey, Jillian. Hold on.

Do you mind terribly if we
just pull over really quickly?

You... you want
me to pull over?

If you don't mind. Please.

Yeah, hold on, hold on.

Is it possible to
have some privacy?

Privacy?

Yeah...

uh...

the person I'm talking to is...

I don't know, uh...

a celebrity.

She's shooting a movie
over in Hendersonville.

I don't really know how it works
with conversations and tabloids.

Yeah, I'll...

I'll give you some privacy.

Oh, thanks.

I appreciate that.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Thanks.

Can you hear me?

Are you there?

Hello?
- Jill.

I thought you'd be here by now!

I know. I'm sorry.

There was a delay with
your birthday present.

Oh!

What is it?

It's a surprise.

I hate surprises.
Just tell me.

Everyone's dying for
content of us together.

Well, how about this...

I'll give you a hint.

It's your favorite color.

Green isn't a hint!

That's everything from
cucumbers to emeralds!

Your favorite color is blue.

Color's not like a
sports team, Luke,

you don't need to be loyal
to one your whole life!

Ahem.

Did you read the script?

What's that?

Check your email. I
sent you a script.

And guess what?

It's a feature, Luke!

It's a feature?

Wow, okay. That's great!

Me to star and you to direct!

It's called "Island Girl."

All the agents and execs
are pushing for us to do it.

I've got things to do, come on.

I'm outta here.

Hey, that's great.

Hey!

It's about a mile from here.

You can walk.

What?

See ya!

What are you doin'? Hey! Hey!

Where ya goin'?

I'm gonna call you back.

Sorry, boys.

Still haven't got that
pyro switch in yet.

I'm thinkin' fingers
crossed for Saturday.

Saturday?

Look, I'm doin' the best I can,

but these classic cars...

Hard to find parts for.

I'm thinkin'
Wednesday the latest.

What happened to Saturday?

What about a tow?

Classic car, Daniel.

Tow a classic car...

Wait, what about a flatbed?

Vic Foster in Clarksville,
he's got a flatbed.

Great idea, Dan.

But he's on the road.

Terrible idea, Dan.

Okay, so we're here
for a couple of days.

Just think of it as a
vacation. Right, Sully?

What's there to do
around Lockhart?

Hey, we got Tucker's
Fall Festival

coming up in two weeks.

Did I just hear two weeks?

But that's if we're
waitin' for the flatbed.

But I'm thinkin' that
switch is gonna come in

Wednesday/Thursday
at the latest.

I'll be in touch
about the pyro switch.

Still happy we
stopped for Tucker's?

Should have got her a
diamond tennis bracelet.

Oh, should I have?

I said that, didn't I?

Get her a diamond
tennis bracelet.

I don't know, Dan, did you?

You've gotta learn
to trust me, man.

This the time?

Okay, look, there's a
donut shop, I think,

let's go get a donut.

I don't want a donut, Dan.

My car. I understand.
I'm going for a walk.

Donut shop near me.

Better.

Thought you'd be gone by now.

The car's not ready.

That's too bad.

Yes, it is.

What's all that?

Silent auction for the festival.

It's a fundraiser for the VA.

May I help you carry it?

No, I got it, thanks.

Okay.

Well, at least your
dog's a fan of me.

Yeah, well, he chases squirrels.

- Well...
- I'm just saying.

He goes for anything that walks.

So you're saying you don't
want to join my fan club.

Are you recruiting?

Seems like a bad sign.

Look, I haven't
been myself lately.

I'm sorry if I was rude.

If?

Hold on, now, what about you?

You left your guest stranded
at the side of the road.

That's bad manners.

Sometimes, bad feels so good.

What do you say we call it even?

I'll think about it.

All right.

For the record, I don't
hate all country music.

I like Waylon Jennings.

Liar.

No, I'm telling the truth.

Name one song.

Okay, I can't name the song,

but he recorded it
with Willy Nelson,

and the first line

is something about
a forgotten dream.

"Good Hearted Woman."
I'm impressed.

Yeah, I don't know why

that line's always
stuck in my head.

- I do.
- Why?

Because it's true to life.

Thank you, Mrs. Parker.

Excuse me.

Do you got any Artemis
action figures?

Just that one over there.

They go fast.

Sold out of the lunch
boxes the day they came in.

Alright.

Lunch boxes?

T-shirts. hats, mugs.

Don't hate me because
I'm collectible.

Artemis is collectible, not you.

Yeah, that's a fair point.

Although I think my name
is somewhere on this box.

There it is.

Oh, yeah.

Maybe if I had a
magnifying glass.

All right.

I like this guy.
It's my favorite.

It's because he
reminds me of Gort.

Who's Gort?

The robot?

Klaatu barada nikto?

You've never seen the movie
"The Day the Earth Stood Still"?

I'm talking about
the original, 1951.

Before I was born.

Okay, maybe, but this is
a science-fiction classic,

alright?

Well, I was more
into science fact.

Like the knee bone's
connected to the thigh bone.

That kind of science.

Here.

For your auction. On me.

So this Gort movie

is a must-see
science-fiction film?

Yes. It is right up there
with "Blade Runner."

You've never?

"Alien"?

"Terminator"?

You haven't seen
any of these movies.

Alright.

I'm gonna make you
a must-see list.

Only if I can make you

a "must hear" country
music play list.

A cultural exchange program.

I like that.

So you get klaatu
barada nikto...

And I get?

"Blue Eyes Crying
In the Rain."

Do any of them have
a happy ending?

Come on, we can walk from here.

Sure. Where are we going?

The ridge.

You want to understand
country music,

you've got to see
a little country.

Alright.

Well...

take a look.

This is where the music starts.

Wow.

This is something.

My Grandpa Tucker

used to bring me out
here when I was a kid.

He let me march with him
in the veteran's parade

when I was little.

That's when I knew I
wanted to be in the army.

Sounds like he had
a big impact on you.

You're lucky to have had
someone like that in your life.

He always said to me,

"Now, remember, Callie,

country music is three
chords and the truth."

I feel like I haven't taken
a deep breath in a long time.

It's just been
back-to-back projects.

It's nice to take a
moment to clear my head.

You never take time off?

No, not with television, no.

I'm thankful for the success,

but...

it can start to suck you in.

You lose track of who you are.

My Grandpa Tucker always said

success can be your
servant or your master.

Tucker's got all the
good lines, my goodness.

He does.

What's that?

It's a notepad.

I'm a filmmaker.

You can't keep saying

beautiful Southern
things like that

and expect me not
to write it down.

Well, it's a good thing
my grandpa isn't here.

You'd need a bigger notebook.

Yeah, he's not wrong about
the success, you know?

But when you come
from where I did,

you have a tendency

to want to hold on to
the success very tight.

Even when it feels wrong.

Sometimes, you got to risk
it to get the biscuit.

You going to write
that one down?

I don't know. Maybe.

Thank you. For the lift.

Thanks for all your help.

And...

for donating your action
figure to the silent auction.

It's a big deal around here.

Just know that if
nobody bids on it,

I'm gonna be crushed.

Yeah, well,

I think there are plenty of
sci-fi nerds in Lockhart,

rest assured.

Good. I'll see you later?

See you later.

Bye, guys.

Wait a second.

I don't need to add Star
Wars to the list, do I?

May the force be with you.

Good.

There's hope for you yet.

Glad to hear it.

Any word on that pyro switch?

Not since you asked
me an hour ago.

That's fair.

Here, will you taste this?

What am I tasting?

I'm trying to recreate
my grandpa's recipe.

Okay. Yeah, it's good.

Yeah, but you never
had Grandpa's.

Look, I know you want
to honor your Granddad,

but the fact that you're
actually doing it...

Trying...

He'd appreciate that.

He would.

Or maybe he'd want you to
walk your own path, no?

Make your own sauce.

- You know what?
- What?

You may be a lot smarter
than you look, son.

- I'll see you later.
- See you, Sully.

I don't know,

if I just got a pat on the
back or a punch to the nose.

Take the pat on the back.

He doesn't give
those out very often!

Hello there, everyone!

Welcome to Callie's homecoming.

We're so proud of you, baby.

And to help celebrate,

I'd like to offer pie and cider.

They are on the house tonight!

How about a song, Callie?

Come on, Callie, sing us a song.

Oh, and it looks like
we have a request,

so I think you will be
singing for your supper

after all, Callie.

Come on up!

You sing?

In the shower, sometimes.

And when I was little,

I would occasionally
jump on stage

with my grandpa and my mom.

Not anymore.

They're not taking
no for an answer.

- I love you.
- There you go.

I am...

beyond excited to be home.

I missed all of you
in this town so much.

This is "Run."

Phew.

Whoo!

Thank you.

Shouldn't you be inside,
signing autographs?

Yeah, I just...

needed a minute.

Are you okay?

That song just makes me sad.

My grandpa wrote it...

about this town

and how fast life goes by.

And now I'm back,

and he's gone.

You have a really
spectacular voice, Callie.

You never thought about
singing professionally?

I don't understand.

I mean, for the blink
of an eye, probably,

but in high school,

I started volunteering
at the VA,

and I found my place.

Nice.

Sometimes, something you
love isn't something you do.

Go inside and try
the Cowboy Cha Cha.

What is that? Like a drink?

You've never done line dancing?

The Macarena. Does that count?

No!

So what is a Cowboy Cha Cha?

Is that like a regular
Cha Cha but with boots?

I could show you if
you want a lesson.

Don't threaten me
with a good time.

Let's go.

Really?

You actually want me to...

I'm ready and eager.
What do we do?

Okay...

- I'll be in front of you.
- Okay.

- Give me your right hand.
- Over here?

Uh-huh.

And your left.

- Cha Cha Cha!

Oh, come on, not now.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

No, no.

I probably have to get this.

Yeah.

I'll see you later.

Sign some autographs
for me, okay?

Sure.

Hey, Jill.

Luke!

Why aren't you here yet?

Yeah, I'm still in
Lockhart. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Did you read "Island Girl"?

"Island Girl"?

Yeah, no, I read the script.

I read...

I read it twice, actually.

There are some ideas there
that we need to discuss,

for sure, but...

Well, about that...

I've already signed on.

You'll be getting an offer.

Three months together in Hawaii.

It's hard to say no when
you put it like that,

but...

Look, the first half is
okay, I suppose, but...

I went to bat for you, Luke.

I mean, this is your chance
to break into feature films!

It's what you want, isn't it?

Jill, you know
that's what I want.

Then sign the dotted line!

I'm excited!

Kisses till I see you.

Back at you.

in the kitchen.

They are when they wake up

inhaling smoke at
2:00 in the morning.

Is it 2:00 in the morning?

It is, yeah.

Well, here.

Help me out. Taste this.

You first.

I did combat training,

if I wanted to kill you,

I wouldn't need barbeque
sauce as poison.

Okay.

Can you please just try?

I can't taste anymore,

I can't smell anymore,

I've tried a million
different things...

Can you please
just try the sauce?

All right, let me try the sauce.

Here we go. Alrighty.

That one's okay.

But not great?

You want me to lie to you?

No.

He said he'd write it
down. I don't understand.

I've tried doubling the honey,

I've tried with and
without garlic...

Just something's missing.

Maybe you...

you make your own.

Risk it to get the biscuit.

- Risk it to get the biscuit?
- That's right.

And, no.

It's a Lockhart tradition...
My grandpa's barbeque,

and I have to get it right
before the Fall Festival.

You've been gone for
a long time, right?

Not everything's
gonna be the same.

Some things change.
That's life.

Some things never change.

Name one.

Well...

how I feel about this town,

and the people here,

and my family,

and the fact

that we're always
there for each other.

That will never change.

Sounds silly to you, doesn't it?

No, actually, it
sounds very nice.

Just not sure I've
ever had that.

I'm sorry.

I survived.

It's okay. It's all
right, it's all right.

Are you okay?

Uh-huh.

Come here. Do you have a
first-aid kit somewhere?

- Under the sink.
- Great.

Give me your hand.

I'm fine, I'm fine,
I'm fine, I'm fine.

This is going to be nice,

but it's going to hurt
a little bit at first.

- Okay, okay, okay.
- You ready?

- Hoo.
- You all right?

Hold it there.

Who catches barbeque
sauce on fire?

You do.

I swore I get it right
before the festival.

And I swore that I would
have an Academy Award

by the time I was 30.

Things...

don't always go as planned,

but that's all
right. That's life.

That's what makes
it interesting.

If you thought that I would be

in a roadhouse diner
at 2:00 in the morning

wrapping a tiny, little hand
in gauze, you would be wrong.

I didn't know that.

And it's interesting?

Yeah, it is.

I'm gonna tuck
this in right here.

How's that?

- Well, I'd better...
- Yeah, sure.

Clean up.

For what it's worth, some
change is good change.

Just saying.

Oh, and if you do plan on
burning down the kitchen,

just let me know so
I can drag Dan out.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

That right tire is balding.

You got time, I can
do it right now.

Yeah, sure.

Hey, how's Lynn?

Uh...

Honestly, we're taking
a bit of a break.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, a little bit
more than a break.

Mm-hmm.

You know, when you
were eight years old,

you used to come in here

and put two coins in
that soda machine there,

and then you'd stand there
for about half an hour

deciding which one...

Orange or cola,
cola or orange...

And then once you picked cola,

you wished you'd picked orange.

Women aren't a can of soda, Joe.

Come on, you can wait inside.

Hey, man, do you know if
Sully is here, by any chance?

Yeah, he's just putting
on a set of tires,

he shouldn't be too long.

Okay, good.

I don't think we've met.

Dr. Joe Wilkins.

Luke Ellis.

Nice to meet you. I know
exactly who you are.

I was there the day
you hit Callie's truck.

Hit? Yeah.

Flying.

There were a lot of
adjectives thrown around

about what I did that day.

I would use "tap".

I mean...

must be a drag being stuck
out here in Lockhart.

Are you Callie's Joe?

Yeah, you could say that.

You know, in a way,

it's kind of your
fault that I'm here.

If she wasn't so upset over you,

then she probably would have
seen me coming, you know?

Who told you that?

Callie did.

You don't say.

She's been really kind,
showing me around.

We've been spending
some time together.

It's been nice.

- You and Callie?
- Yeah.

Yeah, she's been teaching
me about country music.

Barbeque sauce.
The Cowboy Cha Cha.

The Fall Festival. Oh,
look, there she is now.

If I'm being honest,

it doesn't exactly seem
like your sort of thing.

Yeah, you're not wrong.

There's something
about her, though.

That voice, my gosh.

There's got to be a
catch, though, right?

I'm sure you've
got your reasons.

Silly as those might seem now.

I mean, to someone like me,

I just see someone
who's beautiful.

Charming.

Lights up every
room she walks into.

Maybe that's just me.

We did have some fun making
barbecue sauce last night.

- Excuse me. Nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you.

There we go.

Hey.

- Hey.
- How are you?

- Hey, George.
- I'm good.

Listen, I've been
wanting to talk to you.

About what?

About us.

- Us?
- Yeah, you and me.

The thing is, uh...

Lynn and I are on a break.

Maybe a little bit
more than a break.

Oh. I'm so sorry.

Come on, George Jones.

It's okay. Don't be.

It was mutual.

But I've been thinking
a lot about us, Cal.

You already said that.

Have you?

Have I...?

Thought about us.

I mean, of course, I have.

Do you want to maybe...

Maybe we could grab dinner?

And catch up?

Let me think about it.

Okay.

How's it going, Luke?

You tell me, my friend.
You find that switch?

Not yet.

Got one more store
I got to check.

Give me a minute.

- Got nowhere else to be.
- Alright.

Need a hand?

Yeah, actually.

That would be great.

Hi, George. How
you doin', buddy?

Thanks.

So, hey, that was Joe.

Wasn't it?

You two are still
in love, I can tell.

Right, sweetheart?

What makes you say that?

Your body language.

Mine or his?

Both.

It's a classic Hollywood
moment, you know?

Childhood sweethearts
have a falling out,

get engaged to the wrong people,

and realize they're
meant for each other.

It's beautiful.

- You're way off.
- Am I, though?

Hold on now, here's a guess.

You've got a shoebox
under your bed

with every ticket stub
and note he ever left you,

am I right?

I do not.

You're a terrible liar.

He just asked you
out, didn't he?

What did you say?
Did you say yes?

I said I would think about it.

Okay.

Maybe say yes.

Maybe go somewhere rom
