Hart of Dixie (2011–2015): Season 2, Episode 5 - Walkin' After Midnight - full transcript

I'm trying to move on,
and you won't let me.

This is so hard for me.
I am so confused.

I have decided to run
against you for Mayor.

How badly do you want to beat
Ruby Jeffries for Mayor?

Let me run your campaign.

You will be unbeatable.

I was just wondering
if you could do casual

my way, which means
being monogamous.

Yeah, I think I can do that.

Oh, Lavon! Ugh!

Someone has been
sleeping in my bed.



My comforter was mushed.

The pillows were indented.

Whoa, indented?

Well, there could be
some sort of phantom musher.

Or maybe you're overtired
and a little out of it.

What?

Mm-hmm.
Ugh.

You know, ever since
we became monogamous,

Wade and I have been
sleeping less than ever.

No details necessary.

Fine, but I know
that I made my bed

because my Kate spade
sheets arrived

and I wanted to see
how they looked.

And now I've lost interest.



That was fast.

Lavon!

Weird things have
been happening all week.

I chalked it up to the remodel,
but then I found a sock

in my underwear drawer, and...

There was a mysterious
toothbrush in my bathroom.

Whoa.
So, now it's clear.

You have a stalker.
Yeah.

Slash organizer.

Slash dental hygienist.

That...
Or...

It's Halloween

and Wade is just messing
with you because he can.

Pretty sexy, huh?
Oh, my God.

Could you be any more immature?

Ow.

Hey, that was pretty sexy.

Ugh, you know
what is even less sexy

than that ridiculous costume?

Your infantile pranks.
Huh?

Apparently, someone slept in big
Z's bed last night. Well, doc,

you know very well
I was tied up last night.

Literally.

Oh. Ew!

Well, if it wasn't him,
then it was someone else.

Could you please
call the sheriff?

I don't mean to
freak you guys out.

Have you considered
the possibility of demons?

Demons? This is why I
don't let you talk in bed.

You know what?
I'm going to let

you two figure this
out for yourselves.

'Cause I have important campaign
business to attend to today.

Like...

Handing out candy
in town square.

Good-bye.

He is not going to help me
catch my stalker.

Please wear this.
Thank you so much.

Ladies, up, up, up.

It is a week until the election

and Lavon is neck and
Waddley neck with Ruby Jeffries

and you're all just
sitting here like lumps

when you should be handing out
buttons and candy and cheer.

Go, go, go, Lavon!

You said cheer.

Up, up!

Who wouldn't vote
for Lavon Hayes?

Just look at that
trustworthy face and those

big, strong,

sexy...
Hello, ladies.

Lavon! Oh, you're here.

Um, how are you?

Can I get you anything?

Sweet tea, Lemonade, brownie?
Uh,

I'm good.
How's it looking, ladies?

It's looking great!
It's great!

Super great.
You look amazing.

Those new posters showcasing you

in your Alabama football years
seem to be working.

We just secured

the pta and sanitation workers'
endorsements.

Jim and Mabeline Watkins.

Lavon Hayes is back
in the fight.

Yes, nice work.
Whoo!

Ruby can't have the
paper call Lavon Hayes

a "thief in chief"
and get away with it.

I want to take her down, Lemon.

I want it bad.
So do I.

So, we're going to have
to start knocking

on doors, because it
is a very tight race.

Every single vote counts.

Oh, yeah.
Lem...

Great...

Tom. Breathe.

...News!

I just registered 30 new voters.

Yes!
Hey.

Including the entire
Beaudry clan.

No!
Yeah. That's 22 people

in that family.
No.

Yeah. Yes.
No.

Tom!

The Beaudrys are auburn fans.

There is no way
they're going to vote

for a former tide linebacker.

You have to fix this.
Oh... no.

I'm sorry, but I am not
killing the Beaudrys.

Well, I'd offer to help, but...

But you know I'd deck you.

You know...

You didn't have to walk me
all the way up here, Daisy.

I didn't want you to get lost.

Okay.

Well, you know what?

I guess a pretty escort
is always welcome.

It was the least I could do.

Thanks so much for
dinner last night.

Fancie's was...

So fancy.

George Tucker!

I've been looking for you.

So, I was wondering
if you had a date

to the Halloween party tomorrow.

But I was just about

to ask him.

Uh, ladies.

I'm sorry. I'm a little new

at this whole
being single thing, and...

See, I just don't want to
disappoint either of you, so...

Oh, you sweet thing.

We don't want to overwhelm you.

Not at all.
You go by yourself.

We'll both dance with you.

Seriously?

They fell for that line?
What has happened

to the education system
in Bluebell?

Now, hold on just a second.

I was just being honest with them.

George, this is Presley... she
works for a beer distributor.

Presley, George Tucker,

Southern gentleman

of the old school.
Hmm.

That's funny.
He's old-school,

and his dates are still
in school.

Oh! Zinger.

See ya, Rhett.
Wow.

She seems nice.

George Tucker,
what is going on?

I don't even know, Wade.

Last week, I had
my yearly tax seminar.

It's usually only attended
by Dash

and Sergeant Jeffries and Shula.

Standing room only.

All single women.
Well,

I guess they heard that George
Tucker is back on the market.

Hey, good for you, buddy.

I guess so.

I'll tell you what... I'm exhausted.

I am. No, is this what
it's like to be you?

Uh... yeah, yeah.

I mean, come on, sure.
Absolutely.

Oh, it's Halloween.
You gonna try

and break your record
from last year?

What was it, three...
Three sexy cats in one night?

Uh... yeah, I'm...

I'm kind of trying to lay off
the girls these days.

It's, uh... it's like a cleanse.

But for the record,

it was two sexy cats
and one sexy snow white.

Mmm.

Uh, dude, I got to go.

Hey, Wanda?
I'm going on break.

Seriously?

Again?

All right, I only got

15 minutes, but I promise
I'll make it worth your while.

Wade, focus.
Whoa.

I just bought a baseball bat,

mace

and this wireless video camera,

which is why I texted you. Can
you install it? Oh, yeah!

Hey, uh...

Maybe we should get
one of those helmet cams.

That way, I can see
what you see, which...

I bet is pretty spectacular.

Wade, tonight,
we are laying a trap

to catch the cretin on film

so that the sheriff
can arrest him.

Or her. I'm open-minded.
Yeah,

well... that's
a great plan, doc.

Problem is...

It's probably just
somebody playing a prank,

I can't sleep
here tonight.

I promised Wanda
I'd cover for her,

so I won't be off
till about 3:00 A.M.

If you're scared, you should
sleep over at Lavon's.

I'm not scared.
I'm a new yorker.

I can handle a petty
Bluebell perv all by myself.

You know, you are pretty sexy

when you're in misguided
vigilante mode.

We still got 13 minutes.

Okay. Well, I do need
to make sure

that the camera works.
Uh-huh.

Mmm.
Mmm!

Ooh!

Okay, so we are
down 19 votes in the polls.

22 if we can't sway
the postal workers.

Lavon, I told you that
alligator is a liability.

You know what? It's not too late
to get it stuffed. I know a guy.

- Burt Reynolds is my pet.
- Well,

maybe it's not too late to get
the Beaudrys over to our side.

Oh, come on, Annabeth.

You know that there's
nothing more divisive

than a college football
allegiance.

I mean, rawlins & sons
became rawlins & son

when Frankie Jr. chose 'bama.

The Beaudrys are nice,
sensible people. I know them.

Yes, we do not need reminding

of your traitorous years
as an auburn tiger.

For the zillionth time, I am
auburn legacy, football legacy.

My granddaddy was on
the '57 championship team.

I had no choice.

Uh, you know,
Annabeth does

offer us a unique insight now.

Okay, A.B.,

what can we do to turn
the Beaudrys to our side?

Well, show them you're not
just the voice of 'bama.

That you care.

Maybe...

You could say you're dating one.

Wait, you're not suggesting...

And not just a tigers fan...

Auburn royalty,

football royalty.

No! I mean,

Lavon is not just gonna pretend
to date you to get the Beaudrys.

Why not? Well, now,
Lemon, you have to admit

this is not the worst
idea in the world.

22 votes.

Oh! Yes!

Huh?

Go on, we look cute
together, right?

Take that, psycho freak!
Aah!

Aah!

Ow!
George?

Yes!

Crap!

What were you thinking?
I could've seriously hurt you.

You didn't seriously hurt me.

Oh, my God,
how did I get in here?

Very funny.
No,

I'm serious.
What did you do to me?

What did I do to you?
Yeah.

Last thing I remember
is going to sleep in my own bed.

Are you drunk?

No! But to be honest with you,

I am freaking out
a little bit, okay?

I mean, I'm really freaking out!
Okay, well...

This is...
Okay, um, look,

we're gonna figure
this out, you know?

Has anything else strange
been happening to you lately?

Thursday, I woke up
with candy corn in my hair.

Last night, I woke up
at the gas station.

In my underwear.

Where you going?

Is this your toothbrush?

Yes! I've been looking
for that. Wait...

Why do you have it?
George,

you have been sleepwalking.

No.
Mm-hmm.

No, no, no.

Oh, yes. That's impossible,
because I stopped...

Sleepwalking when
I was nine years old.

So there's a history?

Have you started

to take any new medications

or have you been eating
anything different?

Candy corn?

All right, look, in adults,

sleepwalking is usually
caused by stress.

Has there been anything
stressing you out recently?

No, actually,
everything's been great.

I've been enjoying life
on my new houseboat.

I'm sorry, did you say "houseboat"?
Yeah.

Are you kidding?
Do you know how dangerous

it is to sleepwalk
when you're on a houseboat?

Oh, my God, you're right.
All right, look,

we just have to figure out
what's causing this.

How about tonight I come over,

I attach an eeg machine
to you, and I watch you sleep?

Okay, normally, that
would sound super fun...

But there's a Halloween
party tonight, so...

Oh.

All right, well,
good, you know.

Go to the party,
have a couple beers,

and then go to sleep.

All right, thank you, Zoe.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, you probably won't wind up
in the middle of the Gulf,

but just in case,
wear a life vest.

See you tonight, doctor.

Mm-hmm.

Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween.

I bought donuts.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

Wait, you said
I had to watch my weight

to get the women's vote.

Lavon, forget the donuts, okay?

I was up all night thinking
about Annabeth's little plan,

and I just don't think
that it's a good idea.

Lemon, look, I know
it's not ideal,

but Ruby's not exactly
fighting fair, either.

After all this work
on this campaign,

I've realized something...
I-I want this bad.

And, Lavon, you
are a great Mayor,

but what makes you great
is that you don't

have to play any games.

But 22 votes would seal
the deal, Lemon.

You know that.

Now, sometimes we got to think
about what's best for Bluebell.

The...

Guess what we're going to wear

for our big debut
as a couple tonight.

Romeo and Juliet.

Genius, right?

No, come on, you guys, please.

What?
It's a costume party.

Star-crossed lovers.

Come on.

It's great.

Well, people are going
to be mighty curious.

They're going to want to know
how you got together,

when, where,
what each other wore.

I hope you're prepared
to answer those questions.

Which is why I made
flash cards.

Of course you did.

Brilliant.

Martini.

Shaken, not stirred.

Dean Martin.

Uh, waiter at Jean Georges.

James Bond, wise-ass.
James Bond.

Oh, well, it's sexy,
but I was kind of hoping

for more of a magic Mike
construction worker

or a sexy firefighter,

but, you know, hey, James
bond... definitely alluring.

Just go put on
your go-go boots

and your miniskirt
and let's get out of here.

All right, come on.

Oh, yeah, right,

and people wouldn't
put us together?

Who would they think I was...
the Morton salt girl?

Is it wrong
that I'm okay with that?

Yes.

No, look, I can't.

I'm tired and I have to work.
Oh.

I found my bed-sleeper.

Oh, who was it...
Tom Long, Crickett?

The poltergeist
from poltergeist?

No... George Tucker.

George Tucker?

The same George Tucker
that I know?

He was sleepwalking, so I have
to do a sleep study on him

before the poor guy walks
into the Gulf or worse.

So, just to be clear here,
you're sending me off,

looking like this, to a party

full of scantily clad women
high on free candy

while you go spend the night
at George Tucker's?

Yeah.

Oh, this is an awesome
arrangement, yeah.

How do I look?

Hmm, ridiculous.

Oh, come on, I feel
nervous enough.

You look beautiful, all right?

You know, I think
this actually might work.

Who knows?

The Beaudrys do seem
sort of susceptible.

Lemon, haven't you ever seen
a Patrick Dempsey movie?

I mean, it might work out
for me and Lavon.

We'll fake a relationship
for a while, but...

Eventually, he'll develop
real feelings for me.

Annabeth, I know that
you've been known to comment

on the Mayor's physique,
but I didn't realize that...

Yeah, I like him.

I really like him.

And I'm divorced now,

so who's to say
he won't like me back?

Yeah, well, good luck
with that, dear.

I'm going to change.

So I am going

to be taking notes
on anything you do

and I'm going to follow you

if you sleepwalk,

and hopefully we can discover
what's been stressing you out.

The most important thing is to
try to stick to your routine

as much as possible.
Okay, well...

My routine doesn't
usually have you

following me around
all night, so...

You won't even notice
that I'm here.

So what would you
usually do next?

Okay, uh,

how about, for tonight, you
change maybe over there?

You really think
this is a good idea?

It's, um, our only
option at the moment.

Okay.

Whatever you say, doc.

Someone named Daisy wants
to know

if she should be a sexy nun
or a sexy referee.

Really, those are
the only choices?

Darn it.

Forgot to tell Daisy
I couldn't make it tonight.

Bedtime.

Get in bed.

All right.

Scoot over a little.

What, really?
Yeah.

Yeah.

You were going to be
a firefighter tonight?

Yeah.

Yeah, why, is that...
That's stupid, isn't it?

No.

Okay.

All righty.

Can you hold that there for me?

Yeah.
Thank you.

You really think
this is gonna work?

Sure.

Now go to sleep.

Just...
Yep.

Just pretend that I'm not here.

Yeah.

That's going to be
pretty much impossible.

Good night, Dr. Hart.

Sweet dreams.

George.

George!

George couldn't make it.

So, Wade Kinsella,
it's your lucky night.

Three wishes... you can have
anything you want.

Uh, thanks, Savannah.

Uh, I can't.

I'm on the clock.

What's that, Cody?
You need another drink?

Mmm-mmm-mmm.

What?
Huh?

Yeah.

Hey.

What does Lemon Breeland drink?

Uh, a white wine spritzer,
gin on a bad day.

Here.

You got a 50-50 shot.

Knock 'em out, buddy.

♪ I'm too tired

I'm just going to go up to her
and ask her how she's doing.

Cody, that is
so not a good idea.

♪ A thousand pretty words

Hey, Lemon, I
just happened to have

this extra white wine spritzer.
I thought we could...

Not now, Cody!

No way.

You two? Annabeth, I can't
believe you didn't tell me.

Well,

the blawker has an exclusive

on Bluebell's newest couple.

Lavon Hayes

and Annabeth Nass,

is this y'all's
coming out party?

Well, Dash,

I can neither confirm nor deny

my relationship status now,

but I will say this...
this is one happy Halloween.

Well,

will y'all be going
by Lavonabeth

or the shorter Annabon?

Uh, no.

Hey, hey, look who Lavon
just came in with.

♪ Baby, just ain't
good enough... ♪

Annab...?

Nope, I cannot go there.

Okay, look,
there's an emergency.

Please tell me
that George is here.

You lost him?

I may have fallen asleep.

Well, it's your fault
that I'm so tired.

Yeah, it is. All right,
look, this is serious.

I need you
to help me find George.

Yeah.

Hey, Wanda, will
you cover for me?

I got something I
need to take care of.

Again?

Do you even work here anymore?

Mrs. Beaudry, I'm so
happy you're here.

Why wouldn't I be?
It's Halloween.

Uh, you know my boyfriend,

the Mayor, of course?

Mrs. Beaudry,
pleasure as always.

You're dating the Mayor?

Does your father know?

Oh, it all happened so fast.

As you know,
I'm an auburn girl,

and not very political,

but I was helping Lemon
Breeland out one afternoon,

making posters, and Lavon

was speaking
with such passion for Bluebell.

Oh, what can I say?

I love this town.

Don't be so modest,

sweetie pie.

We all know that
local business revenue

has gone up 16% under you,

and how you spearheaded

the new electric grid.

Well, that is impressive.
Well,

all right,
that's enough, now, love bug.

She is so beautiful

and smart and charming,

but she can get a little

overenthusiastic.

Well, now, Mr. Hayes,

if you are good enough
for the granddaughter

of the great auburn tiger
quarterback

Hubert Thibodaux,
may he rest in peace,

then the least

we Beaudrys can do
is join you for a drink,

hear what you've got to say.
All right.

Wanda...

I'm switching to gin.

Ooh.

Damn it, I was sure
he would be here.

This is, like,
his sleepwalking safe space.

Don't you find it
just a little bit convenient

that his safe space
just happens to be your bed?

Oh, well, you think
he's faking it? Come on.

Look, all I know is that you're
sleeping at his house the one

holiday of the year you could've
been dressed as catwoman.

I would so never be catwoman.

Look, George is not faking

a sleep disorder to seduce me,
and you know it.

If he was, don't you think

he would've made a move instead
of disappearing into the night?

Just admit this is
a little more complicated

than a simple doctor/patient
scenario, okay?

George has
a true medical condition.

And as his doctor,
it is my job,

my duty to find him
before he hurts himself.

Now, are you coming or what?

Oh!

Nice.
Crap! Come on.

The preservations at town hall,

the new library
at the high school.

The man has done
so much for this town.

I figured looking past
his poor choice in college

was the Christian thing to do.

Will y'all excuse me?

Mmm.

We did it.

Maybe.

But I have to say, I wish
I could've stopped you,

you are lying to
these people, Lavon.

And this little charade

just proves that
you are no better

than Ruby Jeffries herself.

Frankly, I'm not even sure

that you're someone
I feel like voting for anymore.

Come on, Mr. Mayor.

Let's have ourselves a
celebratory slow dance.

O-okay.

♪ I hear you turn the key

♪ I hear you close the door

♪ I recognize your face

♪ don't know you anymore ♪

♪ you play the part so well

♪ and that's what hurts
like hell ♪

♪ it's not the things you do ♪

♪ it's all the things
you don't... ♪

George!

You made it.

I was beginning to think
you ditched us.

Want to dance?

No, no, I can't.

And why not?

George!

Zoe.
Are you okay?

Who is this?

Oh, uh...

This is my girlfriend.

Girlfriend?

Uh-oh.

You look awfully
pretty this evening.

Oh, George, that is so
not necessary.

Just set him down, all right?

Hello, sir.
Okay, here you go.

You know, I always
figured Tucker

had dreams about you.

I just never figured
I'd be in one.

Well, he doesn't know
what he's saying.

Yeah, well, why don't
you wake him up?

We'll have a real conversation.

Sleepwalking
is a very delicate sate.

I mean, when people wake up,
they can freak out.

Which is why
I need you to help me

get him home.

All right.

Hey!

Backdraft, let's go.
Come on. Bring your ax.

No, thank you, sir.

We do not need
a maitre d' to help us.

We have been here many times.

Bond. James Bond.

Where?
I'm sorry.

I can't believe
we pulled this off.

You're such a good actor.

Well, you, uh...

You did a great job, Annabell.
I owe you.

Oh, I owe you.
I've wanted

to wear matching costumes
with someone for years

and you finally gave
me the opportunity.

I was thinking
maybe tomorrow it might be fun

if we went to Dash's one-man
show of MacBeth together.

Just to really hammer
it home, huh?

Uh...

Ah.

Mrs. Beaudry,
great to see you.

I just want to say...

There's not a lot in life

I take more seriously
than college football,

but electing a man

my grandbabies can look up to...

well, that's worth being

a little bit
of a traitor, right?

Absolutely!

You can count on our votes.

Thank you, ma'am.

Did you hear that?

22 votes.

It's a Halloween miracle.

I'm-I'm...
No, I'm sorry.

I got to go find Lemon.

All right, two gremlins

and a spooky juice.

It'll be $10.50.
Thank you, sir.

Oh, crap.

Hey, Carrie.
Vodka soda for you?

Wow, you remembered.

I can't be the only
slutty nurse in here tonight.

Uh...

Oops. Did I say slutty?

Well, I don't know.

Oh, wait.
What's the hurry?

Uh...

Well, you know,

busy night.

Aw, seems like someone

could use a break.

Well, uh, I would, but...

Five vampires at the other end

of the bar, so...
You sure had

time for a break
last Halloween.

And as I recall,
it was a pretty long one.

Well, things have changed.

Like what things?

Well...

There are rules now.

You know, I'm not, uh,

exactly sure what those rules
are, but...

There are rules.

Hey, you know what?

There... there are rules.

Where are you going?

I'm going
to enforce those rules.

You look good, Carrie.

Drink's on me.

Are you sure you
want to do this now?

I mean, I could write
a press release

and smooth things over.

No, it's my mess.

I'm gonna clean it up.

Excuse me,
Mrs. Beaudry.

Oh, boy, everything in my life
has come easy to me.

You know, I've never really
faced a challenge

like this election before.

But I guess we really
don't know ourselves

until we're put in a place
where we're tested.

And, I don't like what I saw

in myself when I was.

Annabeth and I aren't dating.

I made the whole thing up,

hoping to get votes.

I'm sorry.

Well...

Then I guess you'll understand
when I tell you...

Politics like this...

Is why we Beaudrys never
registered in the first place.

Yes, ma'am.

But now we will be voting...

For the Jeffries girl.

Thank you for your time.

Hubert Thibodaux is rolling over
in his grave

right now, young lady!

Well, that sucked.

You did the right thing.

I'm proud of you.

Who would've ever thought
that I'd be the one to...

Bring down the campaign
with my crazy schemes?

I should have listened to you.

I won't make that mistake again.

Good.

But, hey, this race
is far from over.

And we may be down in votes,
but I know that this town

will come to its senses,

and we will win this thing.

Sometimes I feel
like you believe in me

even more than I
believe in myself.

I don't know what I'd do
without you, Lemon Breeland.

I really don't.

Well, I better get some sleep.

I have a big day

of strategizing to do tomorrow.

Good night.

Night.

All right, come on.

Let's get you to bed.

Okay.

You going to bed now?

Mm-hmm.

That is a good idea.

It has been a long day,
and I am very tired.

So, we're together, huh?

Duh.

You are acting weird.

George, are we happy?

How can we not be?

Zoe, you and I...

we belong...

Wade, he was sleepwalking!

I know he was.

What's your excuse?

What?

I'm up. I'm up.

Okay, what happened tonight?

You had yourself quite
an adventure there, fire chief.

Ah.

Here. It's hot.
Thank you.

Oh. It's from Daisy.

"Hey, jerkface." Oh.

"Why didn't you tell me
you had a girlfriend?

I call foul."
What the hell?

Well, oh, she was dressed
as a sexy referee.

No, Zoe, what girlfriend?

Oh. Well, as it turns out,

in your dream state,
you are in a relationship.

With?

Hmm?
With?

Me.

If I had to speculate,
you know, as your physician,

it-it might mean

that a small part of you is...

Still hung up on me.

Which would probably explain

you walking into my house
in the middle of the night

and leaving your toothbrush.

Well, it's not really
that big of a surprise, is it?

Zoe, a part of me
still is hung up on you.

Like, a big, big part.

Like, pretty much... most of me,
like, all of me.

Question is...

Why aren't we together again?

Oh, no.

No.
Relax.

It's purely a social visit.

Go ahead, help yourself.

Same drink, same swagger.

Not the same guy, though.

The one who left town
and never called.

The one who used to
do that stupid dance

every time he sacked a qb.

Now, that dance wasn't stupid.

You've changed.

You've grown up.

Maybe it's time for me to do
a little growing up, too.

Lavon, I'm sorry for
sabotaging you with the owls.

That was a low blow.

I think we've just both gotten

a little caught up
with this campaign.

But you had the balls
to apologize to the Beaudrys,

and-and that's what I'm doing
right now.

I'm apologizing to you.

I'm sorry.

Accepted.

Partly because of that speech,

and partly because
of that outfit.

I'll take that.

Go and sit down.

Go on.

I'll buy you your own drink.

Hopefully, if you let
some of this stress go,

the sleepwalking will subside.

In the meantime, I'm gonna
prescribe a mild sedative.

So that's it, huh?

I don't know what else to say.

Well, why don't you
answer my question?

Come on, George.
I'm serious.

You think that I'm not
still hung up on you, too?

Well, I don't know.

Uh... Are you?

Of course I am,
but I meant what I said.

We have to think
in terms of the long game.

Now is not our time.

I can't be your rebound.

I can't get my heart broken
by you again.

Okay, Zoe, and I'm doing
everything that I can

to make sure that
does not happen.

I'm out there sowing
my wild oats.

I've been on 13 dates in three weeks.
But you can't just

go through the motions, biding
time until you can be with me.

That is not moving on.

And if you haven't moved on,

then how could I not
be your rebound?

What exactly is it
that you want from me?

I can't believe
that I'm gonna say this.

Maybe to help you move on,

to stop thinking about me,

to sleep,

you need to be with someone

that you actually
feel something for.

Because I kind of am.

I see.

Who is it?
Uh, you know what?

I don't want to know.

Is it serious?

No.

But it's what I need right now.

Okay.

Good night, George.

Good night, Zoe.

Thank you.

Large tea with honey,
and whatever she's having.

Just coffee
with cream and sugar.

Thank you.

You kidding?

I should be thanking you.

It may have been misguided,

but you took a big risk
for this campaign.

You really tried.

It was a stupid idea.
Thank you.

I don't know
what I was thinking.

You must think I'm an idiot.

Annabeth Nass, you
are not an idiot.

You're a romantic.

A romantic idiot.

Well, it's one thing I've
learned about this life...

it's that you can't
control the heart.

Sometimes feelings just pop up.

They reemerge from out the blue.

Doesn't make us foolish.

It just... makes us human.

Well, the good news is,

there are still six days left
in this campaign.

Six days of working
very closely with the Mayor.

Anything could happen, right?

You know, you're right.

Anything could happen.

Hey, Daisy.

Uh, may I sit?

If you must.

I just wanted to clear some
things up from last night.

Um... I don't
have a girlfriend.

There was a whole
misunderstanding.

I was... not
myself last night.

Really?

Yes.

Yeah. But, uh, the thing is...

Well, last night,

I had my first
decent night's sleep

in a long time, and it
gave me some clarity.

And...

Well, I just want to
say that I don't think

that you and I have a future
together, and I'm sorry

that I led you on.

I guess I can't fault you
for being honest.

Okay. All right.

Thank you.
Oh, and could you

tell Savannah the same thing?

'Cause I cannot find her number.

Well, if it isn't

the world's first
authentic Southern gentleman.

Oh.

Great. Good morning.

Presley, is it?

Mm-hmm.
Yeah.

Oh, don't worry. I'll be out
of here in a minute.

I'm sure you need this seat
for another lady friend. No.

No, actually, you can
keep that seat all day,

'cause I am all out
of lady friends.

Really?
Yeah.

I can't imagine
what went wrong.

Oh.
Big surprise, right?

Mmm.
Just...

No, it just turns
out that we didn't...

Have as much in
common as I thought.

Think I might need to
find somebody who...

Challenges me a little bit.

Mmm.

Which is why I was
wondering if you might

be free for dinner tonight.

What?

Look, I won't be
a gentleman at all.

Okay, none of that.

You can pay for it if you want.

You can pay for the whole thing.
Mmm.

Drinks, no dinner,

and if you show up
wearing a tie, I'm leaving.

Sounds great.

You were right.

I let things get out
of control last night.

I know.

Well, I'm-I'm sorry.

Look, if you want me to tell you

that George and I
don't still have feelings

for each other, I can't.

I wish I could.

Okay.

But I meant what I said.

That I want to be monogamous.

And from now on,
I will remember that.

If it means anything,

I told George that
I was involved with someone.

Wade?

Oh, I don't know
what you're talking about.

I'm... Sleeping.

In fact, I think it's time

for you to put me to bed, missy.
No! No!

Oh, yeah, mm-hmm.

It's time to put this girl down
for the night. Oh, my God.

Watch your head. We're going in.
Oh.
