Hart of Dixie (2011–2015): Season 1, Episode 11 - Hell's Belles - full transcript

Harley Wilkes
was your father. He left you his practice.

I don't think I fit in here,
but I'm not sure I fit in New York.

I'm kind of nowhere.

From the minute I laid eyes on Didi,
I knew it was special.

You know, kind of like destiny
or something.

- You're saying Didi is your soul mate?
- I should go.

The doll in that photo is my mother.
She left us 12 years ago.

Turns out, she's 30 miles away.

You'll always love her.
She's your mama.

You have to remember,
she left here for her own reason.

- Guys? We have a mouse.
Dr. Hart, always a pleasure.



Lemon. Brick.

Do you know who this is?

- Yes. Where'd you get that?
- I found this box of stuff.

Harley must've left it.

- And you're just now looking in?
- You surprised?

I just saw it.
And what do you mean, surprised?

Anyone I know in your situation
would be tearing through every box...

...she could find
to learn who her people are.

Unless she thought the whole world
began and ended with herself...

...in which case, it's understandable.

I have been busy,
trying to get patients.

- Bye, Daddy.
- Yeah.

Well, you might find an easier time
fitting in...

...if, uh, it didn't seem like
you were just passing through.



I'm not just passing through.
I've been here for four whole months.

You haven't asked about Harley...

...or have any idea
who's in these pictures on the walls.

- That is not true.
- Oh? Who's that?

- A president.
- Mm-hm. Which one?

- Zachary Taylor.
- Close. That's Harley's brother Jacob.

- I have an uncle? Uncle Jacob.
- Yeah. He's dead.

See, to Southern people...

...who we came from
is part of who we are.

You wanna fit in?
Find out where you fit.

Okay, where do I start?

You already did. Go talk to your aunt.

I have an aunt?

Huh.

Mm.

All right, man, I'm out of here. Oh! Uh...

Never mind.

Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, hold on.
Never mind what?

Nothing.

I was just gonna say that, uh,
these two girls I know are in town.

I gotta work tonight so I thought
maybe you'd wanna take them out.

Okay. So why wouldn't I?

Because then I remembered
that you don't go out anymore.

You mope around here
eating your cookie dough ice cream...

...pining over some lost love.

You know what? No.

That's the old Lavon Hayes.
I'm like this game room here.

All new fun for a whole new year.

Time to carpe diem.

- Right.
- Out with the past, ready for anything.

These are the two girls I met at NASCAR
last year, the two best friends.

One has a snake tattoo
that starts on her butt...

...and somehow finishes up
on the other one's...

No. Not that. Ahem.

Your loss, Lavon.

Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Pitt.
That is great.

No, you have no idea.

All right, you have a great day.

Yes.

Didi, look.

- I did it.
- Oh, yay, you won your game.

- Not a game.
- Oh, I thought you were X.

This is the big-box superstore thing
I've been fighting my dad on.

He told me that Large-Mart
is buying land up here.

They have such a head start that
we cannot stop them from getting land.

However, if they don't have a road
so people can get to the store...

...guess what, no store.

We're gonna blow up a road?
I love this job.

No. No.

No, see, these red X's...

...they represent people I got to agree
to not allow commercial construction...

...or building of a new road.

And they stretch in a solid wall from
the lake here to federal forestland here...

...which means Large-Mart cannot
get to us. And guess what, Dad.

Game over. You lose!

Wow, that is so smart.

That piece of land right there,
that's not big enough to build a road?

What piece of land?

Oh, no. No, no, no.
I thought that was a printing error.

Didi, get down to the courthouse
right now.

Find out who owns that
before Large-Mart gets to them.

Okay, and remember,
keep this top secret.

I will. But, George,
if you blow up that road, I'm in.

- Didi.
- Oh, hey, Lavon.

Look, you don't have to avoid me
all the time.

I mean, we only had one date.

No need for things to be all awkward.

So let's just be friends, okay?

Friends? How can I be your friend...

- ... when I know you wanna marry me?
- What?

Nice to meet you, Aunt Maureen.
Thanks for seeing me.

So how are they down in BlueBell?

Still crazy as ever?

I think that's fair to say.

- Like the Planksgiving with their pirates?
- Mm.

That's why I settled up here
in Liberty...

...where Thanksgiving
is turkey and stuffing.

I know, right?

And Christmas is the Great Beaver
cutting down the town tree.

And damming up the river...

...so the Christ child
doesn't float out to sea.

So anyway,
I really wanted to meet you...

...and to learn about my family-
Our family.

You didn't come to Harley's funeral.

I didn't know he was dead. Or alive.

My, you are full of excuses.

- I visit his grave.
- Yes, I'm sure that cheers him up.

- Do you talk to him?
- Sometimes.

You must look like a lunatic.

Fit right in in BlueBell.

You would think so, but no.

So, what do you say to him
on these little chats?

I don't know.

"What now?
You got me here, what's the plan?"

Sounds like you are lost.

It's like Harley left me this mystery novel
with the next chapter ripped out.

Oh, I hate that.

My VCR used to cut out the last
five minutes of Murder, She Wrote.

I would never know
who the killer was.

Usually, it was Linda Purl.

She had a bad streak in her.

But sometimes it was Lee Meriwether.

I really don't know any of those things
you're saying right now.

But ever since I got here...

...I've felt like a leaf that's fallen
from the tree, just blowing around...

- ... and never touches the ground.
- You've seen those big live oaks...

...we have all around?
Hundreds of years old.

How is it they keep standing,
storm after storm?

- Roots. Deep and wide.
- Yeah, I don't have any of those.

Oh, don't be stupid. Of course you do.
You have your family, your history.

How are the Belles?

What?

I don't know.
Shallow and mean as ever, I guess.

Heh. You see this?

This is a sacred ring
of the BlueBell Belles.

- You're a Belle?
- A proud and powerful group.

Goes back 200 years.

One that helped build the South.

You wanna know your family?

Welcome to the family.

Because by legacy, you are a Belle.

Stuff isn't all yours, is it?
Some of these are your mother's?

Hmm. Some, I guess.

Wow, well, that's kind of a big deal,
isn't it?

I mean, you and Brick haven't touched
this stuff for 12 years, right?

Well, it's a new year...

...and she's not coming back,
so why not let somebody else enjoy it?

Is this that thing that I read about
where a woman who's getting married...

...starts to clear some space
for a new life?

- Mm-hm.
- Is that by any chance...

...why you've been unusually high-strung
the last month?

Why, yes, George, exactly.

Hey, guys. Hi.

Stop. Where'd you get that ring?
It's a Belle ring. Where'd you get it?

Turns out,
I found out who my people are.

Up high, sister.

Why would Zoe Hart
even want to be a Belle?

To drive me to an early grave.
Isn't that obvious?

And that is the only way
she will ever become a Belle.

We all have our roles to play.

We must play those roles
and not other roles.

Why do you have your arm in the air
like a first-grader?

Zoe Hart's a legacy.

- Can't imagine how we can stop her.
- Because you have a tiny imagination.

- That may be true.
- Just because she can be a Belle...

...doesn't mean she'll pass the initiation,
and if you raise your arm...

...I'll pull it off at the shoulder.

What initiation?

My mama said the Belles stopped
Hell Week back in the '70s...

...when three girls almost drowned
getting their riverboat paddling.

But the bylaws have not changed...

...which means that any new Belle
can be asked to pass a series of trials...

...designed to reflect
the strengths, challenges...

...and skills of Southern women
throughout history.

Let's make her drink a milk shake
every day. She'll get fat.

I got this, thanks.

Ooh.

Is it okay if I sit here? Cool.
First Belle meeting. Sorry, am I late?

Not at all.
We were just discussing your initiation.

- Initia- What?
- Well, I mean, unless you prefer...

...to resign now
and just get it over with.

What no one's wanted to tell you
is that...

...the Wilkes are not
of a very strong stock.

- They have a lot of quit in them.
Yeah.

Not in this Wilkes.

I have the opposite of quit in me...

...which is not quit.

Come on. Do your worst. Let's do it.

Yes. Let's.

Every time I run into the mayor,
I get so sad for him.

On our first and only date,
he was talking about soul mates...

...and getting married.

Like that time when I was 8,
and I was at the zoo.

I tried to feed the llama.
Instead of taking a lick...

...he grabbed my arm and pulled it.

I just asked you how things went down
at the courthouse.

Did you find out who owns
that little piece of land?

Yes, someone named Earl Kinsella.

- No. Oh, no.
- What? Is that bad? What does it mean?

Just that the fate of BlueBell
is in the hands of Crazy Earl.

I'm not drunk, it's just...

My blood pressure medicine
makes me a little loopy, is all.

Why don't you make a big old loop
right on out of here?

Can't you just front me
a little something, for my medicine?

You sure do go through
a lot of medicine, Earl.

- Just a loan. You'll get it all back.
- Go on and get out of here like I said.

- Geena.
- Hi.

How you been?
When did you get back from Atlanta?

A job ended two weeks ago.
Been laying low here since then.

Ah, ha. Well, it's good to see you, yeah.

Hey, maybe you and I should,
uh, get a bite to eat sometime.

Uh, Lavon, that sounds good.

But I've started being friends with Didi,
you know how that is.

No, I don't think I do.

It's okay, she told me.

You're just too hung up on her.
I can't.

Oh, no.

No, no. No.

- What's wrong, compadre?
- Didi, that's what. It's bad enough...

...she thinks I'm in love with her.
Now she's telling other women?

If this keeps up,
I might as well be the town eunuch.

- Something happen to Wally Hodge?
- He moved away.

Why does Didi think
you're in love with her?

I got drunk.

Started acting crazy. I may have said
something about us being soul mates...

...and, uh, intimated
at a double wedding scenario.

Oh!

Oh- Ha-ha-ha!

Oh, my goodness.

Two iced teas for Crickett
and AnnaBeth outside.

Uh, um...

What?

Oh, yeah, I'm joining the Belles.
Part of Hell Week is crazy stuff...

...like I have to wear this dress
every second...

...be AnnaBeth's servant,
and I have to shout some Belles slogan...

- ... if someone says the secret word.
- Which is what again?

Like I'm gonna tell you. Iced teas, go.

Mm.

- I don't even know where to start.
- I know, it's weird, but it's about roots.

- Roots?
- Yes. I don't have any.

I wanna know about my family.

They got these things
called genealogy websites.

Cost, like, 39 bucks.

Yeah, I know,
it's not that clear to me either.

I just know that Wilkes girls have been
doing this thing for hundreds of years.

What if by doing it, it makes me feel
more connected to something?

It's one crazy week.

What's another week of crazy
in BlueBell?

- Plus, Lemon's got to hate it.
- No, Lemon really hates it.

Two iced teas.
I, uh, sweetened them with sugar...

...though I suppose
I could have used honey.

I'm a Belle, a Southern Belle,
a 'Bama Belle, a Dixie Belle.

I got secrets I won't tell.

Y'all don't like it, go to-
Hello, soldier, what's your pleasure?

Bravo, bravo, that was beautiful.

Oh, you knew the secret word
was "honey"?

I've known my share of Belles.
They won't admit it, but I do.

- Really?
- Yup.

Tucker.

- Lavon.
- Hey.

Hey, Wade, you got-
You got a second?

Yeah, yeah.

Here's the thing, Wade.
I need your dad to help save the town.

- From what?
- My dad.

Large-Mart is gonna open a store
and they are liable...

...to throw a lot of money at Earl
to be able to build a road on his land.

That little scrape of mud? No way.

Trust me. As soon as they
set up shop outside of BlueBell...

...it's gonna drive all the business
out of here, okay?

Well, I'm not gonna talk to him.

And my advice is, neither should you.

- Why not?
- He only listens to me...

...so Large-Mart doesn't stand a chance,
unless you go talking to him.

Because Crazy Earl, he ain't stupid,
and you do not know how to lie.

If he knows there's money involved,
he's gonna want it. Best bet?

Do like I've always done,
and just stay away from Crazy Earl.

Oh, well, there you are.

I'd begun to think you got called up
in the Rapture or something.

- Do your people go to heaven?
- With my family, it's Fort Lauderdale.

Okay, here is your dry cleaning...

- ... your diet root beer float...
- Mm-hm.

...your flowers, your groceries.

Oh, I'm sorry it took a while...

...but on your list, it just said
feminine products, so I had to guess.

Mm-hm.

Oh, I'm sorry. Do you not say that
out loud around here?

It's fine, I'm fine.

It just means I'm not pregnant again.

Oh, sorry. How long have you
been trying to conceive?

It doesn't matter, it's silly.
Every month, here I go again being sad...

...when I know I can't get pregnant
anyway.

I'm sure it just feels that way.

I worked in a fertility clinic,
and often there's a reason.

There is, yes.

I can't have a baby
because I've been cursed by Lemon.

AnnaBeth. Anna, wait.

- What do you mean, Lemon cursed you?
- Can we talk somewhere else?

Sure, where?

There. I'm in the sun and I burn.

Okay, what?

Well, it was about three years ago...

- ... up at the Gypsy's Grave.
- Huh?

We go there for sacred rituals
and sometimes margaritas.

And that night,
Lemon had us make a pact.

In front of the Gypsy,
who watches over us...

...and provides the magic and mystery
in our lives...

...we agree among sisters,
under the threat of curse...

...that none shall have babies...

...until we all get married
and can all have babies...

...at the same time.

It just seemed like a fun idea.

We knew how important it was
for Lemon to have babies.

She'd been through so much
losing her mother.

She and George
were about to get married.

But then George moved away
for two years, they're still not married.

I wish they would just elope
and have a baby...

...before my insides dry up.

Okay, wait, shh.

There's no such thing as a curse.

Pregnancy is biology.

There is a reason
that you can't conceive.

My husband and I snuck out to Mobile
to see a specialist...

...and he ran all these tests
and said nothing's wrong.

Okay, then we'll run different tests.

Lemon can't stop you
from having a baby if you want one.

I do.

I really do.

TONl:
Sorry, Lavon.

Didi's my friend.
And besides, I am no one's rebound girl.

No, no. No problem. Heh.

- It's cool.
- Bye.

Have a good one.

This will not do.

How am I supposed to go
and carpe diem...

...when Didi is telling every woman
I'm not dateable?

If by carpe diem, you mean get laid,
you're not.

The people in this town need to see
you are dateable...

...and you don't give a damn
about Didi.

- Man, how am I gonna do that?
- Leave that to me.

Making women feel like I don't give a damn
is right in my wheelhouse.

Okay, all right,
I'm gonna have you wait in here.

I'm gonna call your doctor in Mobile,
get your records.

Dr. Hart, I wanted to ask you,
do we have enough sore throat drops?

It's cold season now...

...and I would hate for people
to have to rely on hot tea and honey.

I'm a Belle, a Southern Belle,
a Dixie Belle, a 'Bama Belle.

And I've got secrets I won't tell.

If y'all don't like it, go to-
Hello, soldier, what's your pleasure?

Oh, never mind, look what I found.

Well, how about this?

Two visitors in one day.

- Wade.
- What's he doing here?

Same as you.

The Large-Mart deal. See, you don't have
to be a good liar to be a good lawyer.

You just gotta be good
at spotting one.

I went over your doctor's records
from Mobile.

My ultrasound doesn't show
anything abnormal either.

So it's true. I'm cursed.

No, no.

One girl not getting pregnant
isn't a curse.

Look, sometimes people take a while
before conceiving.

There is no curse.

Well, uh, thank you for caring, Dr. Hart.

I mean it.

Now, go wash my car
while the sun's still up to dry it off.

Okay, bye now.

Oh, AnnaBeth, how are you?

Dr. Breeland. Hi.

Uh, I was in there on Belle business.
Not doctor business, Belle business.

You know,
that is a lovely pin you have there.

- Where did you get that?
- Oh, thank you.

I bought it today
over at the church flea market.

Well, that's very nice. Uh...

- You take care.
- You too.

I don't wanna sell. There's money in
that land, I wanna leave it for my sons.

The land ain't worth a cent, old man.

And I for one
don't want some wet old piece of dirt.

Sell the land to Large-Mart,
get yourself some actual money.

No, you mean get you some money.

I saw it in your eyes the moment that I-
I should have never told you.

I thought it'd be nice for him to stand
on his own two feet for a change...

...to not have to come begging me
for money all the time.

I don't wanna feel I'm letting down
the entire town because of it...

...or that I'm selling out my dad
so that you can beat yours.

- That is not what's going on here.
- Yeah. Yeah, I bet.

That is a very fine job.

You are officially
not my servant anymore.

I did it? I'm in? I'm a Belle.
Where's my crown or whatever?

Oh, you silly girl.

That was just AnnaBeth's turn.

Oh, we all get a crack at you
before you're a Belle.

ZOE
Away, away

Away down south
In Dixie

This better be worth it, old man.

Come in.

Oh, no.
What do I have to do for you now?

- Mani-pedi? Brush your teeth?
- You're a doctor.

You need to break Lemon's curse
so I can get pregnant.

Huh.

What exactly is a pink tea?

Well, everything is pink.

Right.

So I've been thinking
about your situation.

Do you know if any of the other Belles
can't get, you know...?

I thought I was the only one trying.

Lord knows what Lemon would say
if she found out.

Someone said they saw AnnaBeth
coming out of your office.

I made her tell me why.

All I know is,
no one has gotten, you know...

...since the pact.

I need to find
another non-curse reason.

Like, is there anything
that you all have in common?

- We like pink.
- Okay, good.

And God. We like God.

I just saw the lemonade.

It's supposed to be dyed pink,
but it's red.

How can we have a pink tea
with red lemonade?

We'll look like
we're sipping a cup of blood.

A bunch of pretty vampires
enjoying a cup of blood...

...before we all go out
on a killing spree.

I dumped it all out.
Y'all need to start over.

Do it right.

How you doing?
It's so good to see you.

Okay, go now.

Take the girls
and show this town Lavon Hayes...

...is open for business,
ready to carpe him some diem.

- Is that all right?
- Okay.

Ha, ha. Oh, I love that.
What's up, Didi? Heh. Yeah.

Breaks my heart. It does.

Trying to get me jealous.

He's your friend.
Make him get over me.

Ow.

- Mr. Kinsella.
- Earl is fine.

- Uh, please have a seat.
- It's okay.

I just come to get the number
of them folks at Large-Mart.

I'm gonna sell them my land.

Okay.

Look, Earl,
I don't think you understand...

...what could happen to BlueBell
if you sell your land.

Oh, I am aware, thank you.

Don't try to talk me out of it.

I heard what my son said. He's right.

If I sell that piece, he won't have
to give me money no more.

He won't have to bother with me at all,
I expect.

Okay. I'll get you that number.

Just give me a day or two, all right?

So I just heard the craziest rumor.

You're gonna laugh
when I tell you this.

That you and the Belles
made some sort of pact...

...that you're all waiting
to have babies together.

That is none of your business.

Someone tell you that? Who?
Is someone pregnant? Who?

No. Actually, no one's pregnant...

...because, well, they all think
that you cursed them.

Cursed them?

You're a doctor
and you believe in curses?

No, but I do believe that fear
can freeze the uterus.

That fear of how you'll react
if one of them gets pregnant...

...before you is stressing them out.
Let them have babies.

So let me get this straight.

I'm a witch with the power
to make women infertile.

Is that what you think?

- No.
- That I terrorize my friends?

Well, Zoe Hart, who thinks
she can come into my house...

...tell me how to speak to my Belles...

...prepare to feel the hand of fear
around your heart...

...and take tonight to get your affairs
in order...

...because tomorrow you are mine.

Wow, I think I just felt my eggs
dry up.

Yup.

Zoe Hart. Ha, ha, good morning.

When you left this morning,
did you notice anyone...

- ... or, say, any animals hanging around?
- Ha-ha-ha.

Oh, Lemon's got you turned inside out,
I see.

Today's her day with me.
I couldn't sleep...

...wondering if the day started
at midnight or at dawn.

Uh-huh. She's engaging
in effective psychological warfare...

...breaking you down
without lifting a finger.

Oh, my God, you're right.
It's like what she does to the Belles...

...making them afraid
of something she might do.

Yeah. That Lemon...

...she sure can get in your head.

Well, not mine. I'm gonna stick it out
to make sure she eases up on those girls.

No more making myself crazy
over things that won't even happen.

Thanks, Lavon.

Fire!

- You got a second?
- Yup.

Your dad came by my office.
He's gonna go and sell to Large-Mart.

Okay. Well, I know
it's not what you wanted.

No, it's not. But the main thing is
I don't think it's what he wants either.

Wade, I think he really wants
to leave his land to his boys.

- Why would he think we want it?
- I don't know.

But Earl I know has not done right
by you guys...

...and that little patch of dirt is not much
of a legacy, but it's all he has.

Why doesn't he sell it, live off
the money, and when old Earl croaks...

...he can pass on what's left
to his precious sons?

- It's not about the money, Wade.
- He asks me for enough of it, George.

Exactly. Just like, why does he come
into town once a month...

...and make you and only you
get him down off that roof?

Because he wants to know you will.

I really think that Earl just wants to
know that you love him before he dies.

And he wants you to know
that he loved you afterwards.

Is that all?

- You call that silver polished?
- Yup.

That is not polished!

- I don't know. Seems polished to me.
- I'm sorry. Did I say "talk"?

- Do it again.
- You know I have knives here, right?

Well, if this is too much for you,
then why don't you quit?

Because there's nothing you can bring
that I can't beat.

I've pulled 30-hour shifts in the ER, I've
ridden the subway to Queens at 2 a. m...

...and I have eaten oysters off a truck.
I am strong.

But, Lemon, your other Belles...

...they're not.
You have to take it easier on them.

You would like that, huh,
if I just took things easier?

Well, how about instead,
you go out back and you milk our cow?

And I want two buckets of milk,
or don't come back into the house.

- With pleasure.
- Great.

- We have a cow?
- We do today.

- Hey, how you doing?
Hi there, mayor.

Hi. Please don't run.

No hookers on your arm today?

They weren't hookers, I don't think.

Maybe they were. I don't know.

But I came here to say
that I am not obsessed with you.

I don't want us to get married.

Well, then why did you say
all that stuff?

Because...

- ... to be polite. I can be real polite.
- You called us soul mates to be polite?

Okay. Truth?
I was trying to get over someone...

...and I shouldn't have dated
but I wanted to because I liked you.

Well, I liked you too.

And I was acting all crazy and stuff.
I'm sorry.

Please tell all your lady friends
so they will go out with me.

Lavon, I don't think
I'm comfortable doing that.

- Why not?
- Because...

...if you're not all loony-tunes...

...then I wanna go out with you
myself.

- You do?
- If you promise...

- ... not to ask me to marry you.
- Yeah, I do. I do.

Ha-ha-ha. Well, then I accept.

Daddy.

- Lemon, what are you doing?
- Taking Mama's things to the church...

- ... after you brought them all back.
- Yeah, I did.

I did not wanna get into this with you.

You had no right to get rid of all this
without consulting me.

She is your mother,
but she was my wife.

Why do you wanna keep it all here
anyway?

Listen, Daddy, I am sorry,
but she is not coming back. Not ever.

- You don't know that.
- Yes, I do.

How?

Some things you just know.

In your heart.

She's not a part of our lives anymore.

I don't see why you wanna keep us
surrounded by reminders of that.

No, I see that...

...and how painful that must be
for you.

I don't need all her clothes around here
to remind me of her anyway...

...because I got you girls.

Especially you.

You're so much like your mother.

It's almost like having her
around here sometimes.

Thank you, Daddy.

Okay, I planted the bulbs
and brought in firewood. Anything else?

Um...

Yes. I may have dropped an earring
in the garbage.

Could you run out to the cans,
dig for it?

- No problem.
- Stop.

Garbage?

Are you insane?

I wanna know,
why do you wanna become a Belle?

- Is it because I don't want you to?
- No, but it does keep me going...

- ... so thanks.
- Then why?

Because I wanna know who I am.

And the people who I came from,
they did this...

...and according to you,
who we are is who we came from.

Don't say that.

- Why?
- Because it's ridiculous.

Because if who we are
is who we came from...

...then I am destined to be
the worst mother in the world.

Who doesn't care about anyone
but herself...

...who can leave her children
without a glance back.

Okay, no, I didn't-

Okay, and I won't do that to a child.
I won't.

Well, ladies, the day is upon us.

Zoe Hart has met every challenge,
and she is to be...

...a Belle.

Oh, I don't know. She didn't turn out
to be as bad as I thought.

AnnaBeth has the right attitude.
We must accept it.

Our ancestors
weathered the presence...

...of Northern aggressors
150 years ago...

...and we shall do the same
until this storm too has passed.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

Is there something about the term
pink tea that you find confusing?

Most of it, actually.
Can I talk to you in private?

Ladies.

I'm not joining the Belles.

- Pardon me?
- I'm sorry...

...you went to the trouble,
but I think you'll survive.

I'm sure I will, but why the change?

Because of what you said last night.

How you thought you wouldn't be
a good mom because your mom wasn't.

Lemon, that's just not true.

- So you're a fortune teller now?
- No.

And I'm also not my Aunt Maureen.

The truth is, yeah, I'm a little lost.

And I thought finding my family...

...you know, would be finding myself.

But even though I share their blood
and their history...

...it's the choices that I make today...

...and every day
that make me who I am.

And I'm not a Belle.

And you, Lemon, are not your mom.

- You never even knew my mother.
- No, but I have heard about her.

And I know that you are not weak...

...and you don't run away from things.
And now, thanks to my Aunt Maureen...

...and Harley and you,
I know that I don't either.

Except for paintball guns. Those hurt.

Well...

...there's a lot of pink cake
to be eaten.

- You're welcome to have a piece.
- Thank you.

- To go, of course.
- I assumed.

Hey.

Saw this shirt at the church flea market.
Thought it might fit you.

Just so you know...

...if you ever sell this land to anyone,
anyone at all...

...I'll never talk to you again.

Get some decent food.
You look like crap.

In front of the Gypsy,
who watches over us...

...and provides the magic and mystery
in our lives...

...we agree that anyone
who wants to have babies...

...shall have babies,
and none shall be cursed.

- Ah! Ha, ha.
It is done.

And we would like to thank the Gypsy...

...for teaching us the credo
of the Southern woman.

She has one hand on the past,
one hand on the future...

And you must always
bring her a present.

Hey, running dry over here.

You should run some electricity
up here.

Seriously, it wouldn't be hard.

That's Harley's cousin Olin.

He's not really a cousin.
See, his mom, your Grandma Claire...

...she took him in when they were kids,
so it was like they were related.

- Lives in Japan now, retired over there.
- Why are you telling me this?

I watched all that stuff you did
to try to be a Belle...

...and, uh, well, the fact that you
toughed it out and you never quit...

...you know, that is a Wilkes
if I ever did see one.

I knew it. Lemon.

So anything you wanna know
about your people, you can ask me.

I know about all there is to know.

- Who's that?
- That is your Grandma Claire...

...and her second husband, Guy.

Only he pronounced it "Gee"
because he was French-Canadian...

...but no one around here obliged him.
Ha-ha-ha.

What about him?
Oh, I bet he was an uncle.

Look around those eyes.
I have those same eyes.

No, that one is a president.

Oh.

Now, this fellow over here...

...Harley met him on a barge...

...floating down the Nile...

...and he took Harley
for everything he had playing poker.

Of course, Harley always said
it was worth every cent.
