Hart of Dixie (2011–2015): Season 3, Episode 16 - Carrying Your Love with Me - full transcript

Warner brothers bought
my book for six figures!

Get out of here! That's awesome!

I'm so sorry about Lavon.

How are you? Fine as I can be.

Given that my heart is crushed, and I'm
probably gonna die alone and whatnot.

Joel, what's the matter? I
have to go to Los Angeles.

How long are you gonna be gone?

They said six months.

S...?

Hello there, Lord Joel.

It's me, Emily Bronte.



And I'm about to write
my next great novel.

Right after I take off
all these clothes.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Ooh, it's stuck.

All these clothes.

Come... on!

Oop!

Zoe, what's, uh,
what's going on here?

I was making a video for
you to take to L.A.

Something to remember me by
in those lonely moments.

Are you Emily bronte?

You said she had a sexy brain.

(LAUGHS)

Will please help me up?



(LAUGHING)
One sec.

Wait, what are you doing?

Stop it, no, don't you...!

I'm sorry, this is how I
want to remember you.

All tangled up in a corset

because you tried to do a
literary striptease for me.

I'll tell you, I
don't need a video.

Because you, Zoe Hart,
are unforgettable.

Just please cut me
out of this thing!

Sounds kind of hot.

(BOTLAUGH)

Really? Mm-hmm.

(BRITISH ACCENT)
Really?

Mayor Hayes?

Hello, Rose.

You can call me
Madam Ambassador.

My school just elected me attache
for our sister city's visitors.

Congratulations.

Wait a second.

What-what sister city?
What-what visitors?

The visitors from the town of Clochebleue
in Alsace-Lorraine of course.

A bunch of French people
are coming to Bluebell?

Just as soon as you e-mail
their mayor and arrange it.

Bonjour, Lavon?

Every ten years a contingent from
one sister city visits the other.

This decade it's
our turn to host.

Okay, Rose, I get
that you want this.

But, you know, hosting some
boring French mayor dude's

the last thing I need right now.

No, no, the mayor Eloise
Tiberghien is a woman.

A former ballerina actually.

WADE: Ooh-la-la.

I'll tell you what, dude.

The way you've been moping
around here the last few weeks,

a short visit from a hot French
ballerina might be just what you need.

Oui.

Yeah, you might be right.

(GROANS)

Oh!

God, Lemon!

Don't you ever knock?

I thought this would
be more dramatic.

Plus I brought you breakfast
and an amazing idea.

Well, next time bring me a
deadbolt and some pajamas, please.

(LAUGHS)
Your modesty is so adorable.

But after 15 years of
being together, trust me,

I know every little
nook and cranny.

Okay, yeah, yeah.

It's time for you
to get off my boat.

Just as soon as
you hear my idea.

As you know, Shelby is selling
Fancie's and I intend on buying it.

But I face two minor hurdles.

One... you don't have the money.

And two... Shelby won't
sell you Fancie's

'cause your dad tried to
sabotage her cabaret.

15 years.

Goes a lot deeper than
nooks and crannies.

That's why I know what
you're gonna say next.

No, you don't.

You want me to purchase
Fancie's in my name,

sell you half and be
your business partner.

No, I want you to purchase
Fancie's in your name,

sell me half and be
my silent partner.

No, no, no way.

George, you need this nearly
as much as I do, okay?

To fill in that void
left from that crazy

line of women that
you've been dating.

By going into business with
the craziest one of all?

No, thank you.

Me? Yeah.

But me? Yeah!

I'm the crazy one
in this scenario.

Uh-huh. George, that is...
That is... Rich!

You know what?

Offer is revoked.

At least leave breakfast, you...

TODD: Today I brought you to the base

of an active volcano to
remind you... activate!

He makes me feel like
so much less of a man.

As you swing through
the hitting area...

WOMAN: Look, there's Joel!

MAN: There's Joel!

(GASPS)

They're here.

What?

Joel.

Stanley and I so appreciated having
another artist in our midst.

So we have prepared
a number for you.

♪ Oh, Joel Stephens ♪

? We'll miss you so, don't
leave, don't leave?

♪ We just hate to see you go ♪

♪ Oh, please don't leave ♪

♪ Your talent got you far ♪

♪ You're gonna be a star ♪

? So, Joel Stephens, can
we have some parts?

♪ In your movie ♪

Oh, oh, I... No, I-I don't think

that I'm really in charge
of those decisions.

Well, we're classically trained.

Yup. Hi! Ah, Joel!

I'm gonna miss you, man.

I-I got you a-a box set
of Games of Thrones.

Figured you could watch
it on the plane.

What? That is amazing, man.

Thank you so much.

Very nice.

Joel, let's go sit.

Yeah, thanks.

Oh, no! Not you, too?

Shut up.

(LAUGHS) Hey, man, I even got an e-mail
account so we can stay in touch.

All right? All the time, buddy.

All right. All right.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Oh.

Ooh, it's my new agent David.

Hold on a sec. Ooh.

Hey, David, hi! You okay?

Dr. Hart?

Yes?

You can't let Joel
Stephens leave.

He's not leaving.

It's an extended business trip.

We are committed to
making this work.

If Joel goes, then you
two will break up.

And then he won't come back.

Don't be silly.

We just bought a house together.

In Bluebell.

We won't even go more than two weeks
without seeing each other live in person.

It's not a big deal.

It's a huge deal! You
have to realize that!

99% of long-distance
relationships break up.

What? No, they don't.

Uh, it's a proven fact.

Science, look it up.

Fine.

(SIGHS)

(CLEARS THROAT)

See? It's not 99%!

It's 75. Oh.

Well, this is a stupid study.

Make him stay, please!

Not just for my happiness.

But for yours.

Sorry, uh, David's just
got all these meetings

set up for me when I get out...

Hey, you okay?

Yes, I'm great.

So great.

Ooh, ladies?

Are you aware that it is less than
a month till the man of the year?

And I am finally gonna win!

Oh, no, daddy, not this again.

No, no, no, no!

The stars have finally aligned!

George was holed up in
the shamrock motel.

And he was dating
Lavon's crazy-eyed cousin.

No one is gonna
vote for him again.

And Lavon as mayor
is ineligible.

And Harley, rest
his soul, is dead.

And Magnolia is no longer
around to taint my reputation.

♪ Moty is mine ♪

♪ Moty is mine! ♪

That is great, Brick.

If there's anything we can do...

Oh, a.B.?

As co-head of the belles, you
can procure an endorsement.

Ooh.

Well.

I suppose.

Daddy, you know what?

Um, let's face it.

You've been a lot pricklier
than usual this past year.

So how about you work
on your demeanor

for the next few weeks and then
a.B. Can approach the belles?

My demeanor? There's nothing
wrong with my demeanor!

WOMAN: Dr. Breeland?

Little Grace Ann has
a tummy ache again.

If you are going to vomit,
you will use a bucket.

And not the front
of my shirt again.

You understand me, young lady?

(LEMON CLEARS THROAT)

Uh, and two stickers
for you today.

Two... right-right in here.

Oh, hey, Zoe.

How-how are you doing?

Do you guys think that long-distance
relationships can actually work?

If any can, it's
yours and Joel's.

When George was in Europe,
we were long distance, too.

Right!

Mm-hmm.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear!

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Babs, what's up?

What?!

(WHISTLING)

You stupid, stupid man!

Because of you, Shelby leased
Fancie's to someone else!

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

But I stand by my decision.

Oh, yeah? Want to know
who she leased it to?

Lily Anne: George!

Lemon.

I've had a revelation.

So I'm leasing Fancie's.

Thought it would be the perfect
place to debut my new material

about my favorite muse.

No!

Yes.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER P.A.)

Zoe? Hmm?

Are you okay?

Yes.

I have the best idea ever.

I'll go to L.A. with you.

I will go home and pack and
I'll catch the next flight.

What?

I asked you to come
with me a week ago.

And you said that a) You hated L.A.,
b) You just got back to Bluebell,

c) You didn't want
to be a groupie.

And then back to a) again.

Uh, L.A. will grow on me.

I'll get implants. I'll juice!

(LAUGHS)

I don't, I don't want you to
give up your life for me.

75% of long-distance
relationships break up.

So what?

Today the weatherman said there
was an 80% chance of rain,

and there's not a
cloud in the sky.

Look, Zoe, we are
going to make it.

I promise you.

Let me hear you say it.

We're gonna make it.

Yeah.

(THUNDER CRASHES)

(CAR ALARM CHIRPS)

(THUNDER CRASHES)

(CAR HORN HONKS)

(SEAGULLS CALLING)

(BIRDS SINGING)

(BUTTONS BEEPING)

(LINE RINGING)

Good morning, Joel.

Whoa!

What's, uh, what's
going on here?

Well, I finally figured out a way to
get you to choose some tile samples.

First tell me the ones that you
don't like and I will remove them.

And then the ones left, we
will put in our new kitchen.

So we're picking tiles based on the
body parts I want to see first?

Well, it's as good
a system as any.

I love it.

Tell you what, let's... Why don't
you take off the gray one?

(WHISPERING)
Uh, gray... Which gray one?

That one.

(WHOOSHES)

(PHONE CHIMING)
Oh.

Oh, no, no, don't answer it.

It's David.

I'm sorry, one second,
I gotta take this.

Hey, David.

Well... why does she think...?

(STUTTERING)
Hold on one sec.

Sorry, honey, I gotta
go deal with this.

We still have 38 tiles to go.

(LAUGHS)
Look, I promise I will make it all

up to you when you
get here tonight.

Fine.

My flight gets in at 8:00
your time, I can't wait.

Me neither.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Wait, no! You gotta pick a tile,
because we need to pick... A tile!

(SPUTTERS)

Looks like a man who
needs a button.

Oh! Patty, Prizzi, don't
you look so pretty today.

You're an angel.

You are so sweet! It's
just my new lip liner...

It's my new baby cream,
smoothes the lines.

Plumps them right up.

BOTH: Wait. Are you talking about her?

(STUTTERS)
Both.

Both.

Uh, I assure you... Uh, Wanda,
how is that adorable baby goat?

Tell me about it. It's
your worst nightmare.

Lily Anne debuted four
new songs last night.

Oh, God, don't tell me.

Wait, tell me.

Locked in the shamrock.

Sad lawyer rides again

I object

and Sad lawyer rides again again

I mean, seriously, are all of
her songs really about me?

Not all... she's still singing
her old standards like...

Run from Wade.

Hey, Tucker, Vivian went over to
Fancie's last night with a coworker.

I spent hours explaining
to her that Lily Anne

takes a certain, uh, poetic
license with the facts.

We need to get her the
hell out of town.

I could not agree more.

Well, well, well. (LAUGHS)

The tides have turned.
Have they not, boys?

I will help you remove
this blight to your name

if you do something
for me in return.

Yeah, whatever, Lemon. (SIGHS)

Nope, nope, don't even say it.

If I succeed, George
buys Fancie's with me.

No. N-no, that's a terrible idea.

Owning a business together
is like being married,

but without any of
the good parts.

You and I were partners, Lemon,
'cause we didn't have any history.

But you and Tucker. (LAUGHS)

No. Thank you. Thank you.

That's what I've been saying.

That's what I'm still saying.

But he is the only one with
both the cash reserves

and the cache with Shelby. No!

You know, I hear Lily Anne's planning
on recording Live from Fancie's album.

So, I'll go reserve that
on iTunes right now.

(OVERLAPPING ARGUING)

I think you'd make great
partners. I'll do it.

Yeah.

So, the key is to get
into Lily Anne's head.

Convince her that
Fancie's is not for her.

I mean, she's absolutely nuts,
so that'll be easy to do.

So, what are some things
that freak Lily Anne out?

Kittens, hammocks.
Carbon monoxide.

Monoxide. Yeah, laryngitis.

Smokers. Oranges.

Norwegians.

BOTH: Ghosts.

Well, boys... I guess we'd
better get a-hauntin'.

Oh, no, no.

The belles endorsed Stanley?

Not Crickett's husband Stanley.

So, I am so sorry, Brick.

Everyone could see how
hard you've been trying.

But, um... Stanley threw
the girls a Botox party.

Why didn't I think of that?
I'm the doctor!

Look, you can still turn this
around if you win over the owls.

No, I'll-I'll try, but I-I can't tell
you what disappointing news this is.

I've been watching my temper.

I've been trying to stay calm.

(CHILDREN COUGHING)

What in the holy hell
is going on here?

A stomach flu outbreak at
the elementary school.

Oh, good grief.

Uh, uh, I'll get
the disinfectant.

No one touch anything!

No one!

Ignore him, Hazel.

I'm gonna make your tummy
feel all better, okay?

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

(PHONE RINGS)

Oh, sorry.

You know what, uh, that's my
boyfriend, I should get this.

BRICK: Where's the disinfectant?!

Please don't leave me
with that mean man.

Okay. Uh, you know what,
let's go in the exam room.

I'm going to see
Joel tonight anyway.

♪ He came here in misery ♪

♪ Grew a beard like Bob e. Lee ♪

♪ And they handed
him a motel key ♪

♪ Now he's stuck in
the shamrock motel ♪

♪ His life ain't
been going so... ♪

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)
Well, Lemon breeland, is that you?

Lily Anne, how are you? (LAUGHS)

I just love what you have
done with this place.

I'm so sorry I haven't
been to your show.

I hear that it is superlative.

That is so sweet of you.

Oh... and you know what,

good for you for not listening
to all those silly rumors.

Thanks! Yeah!

Wait, what, what rumors?

(MAN HUMMING GHASTLY TUNE OVER PHONE)

Sounds good. That was badass.

All right, uh...
I'll set a timer?

It'll go off every three hours.

All right, uh,
I'll get the light

and I'll rig the furniture.
Okay, sounds good.

You know how shelby left this place
because she thought it was haunted?

Shelby is just so silly, right?

Right.

ROSE: Nous sommes tres tres
excités pour votre visite.

Ce sera le point culminant
de notre décennie.

Vous et votre ville serez
traités comme des rois!

U-uh, yeah,
wh-what she said.

Hello, uh, I-it's uh,
me, mayor Lavon Hayes,

and I-I can't wait to
meet you, too. (CHUCKLES)

Converse mayor to mayor.

My English is not so good.

Uh, not so good at all,
I'm afraid, but, uh...

For a mayor, you
are tres handsome.

Uh... likewise, uh... I mean, you-you
are very beautiful. (LAUGHS)

And-and very smart.

And-and excellent in all you do...
I'm sure.

I wish I could
understand, but, uh...

Ah, well, enchante, monsieur.

Yeah. Bye.

(COMPUTER BEEPS)

(WHOOPS)

Mayor Hayes, no offense,
but it's clear,

if you wanna tap that, you're
gonna have to learn the lingo.

That is not... wha... What are they
teaching in Bluebell's schools?

No, no, no, look, look, I just want to
make a good impression for the town.

For the, for the country.

Sure you do. Maybe one of
y'all could teach me French.

You should get a CD,
apprenez à  parler français.

Apprehend a, a par-parlor France.

(LAUGHING)
Yeah, you'd better start now.

Okay.

(RADIO STATIC)

(FLOORBOARDS CREAKING)

(SCREAMING)

ZOE: Okay, so just some
ginger ale, some crackers

once she starts feeling better.

Okay.

Oh... hey, Brick, I have to go.

I'm so sorry to leave you here
with all these sick kids, but

it's Joel's only free window
for the next two weeks.

Yeah, yeah. Just be
back by Monday morning.

Zoe, you know what,
you should go.

You're late and you're
gonna miss your flight.

Are you okay?

I don't think I'm
going anywhere.

Good morning, beautiful friend.

(LAUGHS)

Good morning, beautiful cousin.

Wade. Ow!

Bonjour, a-apprenze français.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Bonjour, a-apprenze français.

(CHUCKLES)
Keep pluggin', pal.

You seem to be in a good mood.

'Cause you're gettin'
laid tonight.

Wade.

But yes, after a long, long month,
Joel's coming for the weekend.

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

No, no, no, no, no.

Joel is spending the
entire weekend with me.

We have a ton of stuff
to do for the house.

Okay, 'cause tonight we are
shopping for curtains and a bed,

and we are picking out
our closet design.

And then tomorrow we're
picking out wood panels

and bathroom fixtures,
and then tomorrow night

we're going to paint
samples on the wall

of our house and have a picnic
in what will be our dining room.

So we can decide what color

we want to spend the rest
of our lives looking at.

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

Well, I think it
sounds wonderful, Zoe.

It's very romantic.

I love having another girl here.

Anyway, Joel and I will make an
appearance at breakfast on Sunday.

You will see him then.

(PHONE CHIMING)
Whoa.

It's him.

Hey, Joel. I'm so excited.
Where are you?

Layover in Denver. It's-it's snowing.

There are no more planes
taking off tonight.

I'm just, I'm not going to be able
to get in until tomorrow afternoon.

I'm so sorry.

No. It's, it's okay.
I'll-I'll see you then.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER P.A.)

Uh, yeah... you can forget
the pancake breakfast.

Dash? Hmm?

I was thinking for the musical this
year, we should do my fair lady.

You would make a
stellar Henry Higgins.

Well, indeed I would. (LAUGHS)

And I think I could convince
shelby to play eliza.

I mean, you know, she
is the best singer

this town's ever seen.
(LAUGHS) But-but Shelby's off

with the lieutenant
governor in the capital.

But now our next best thing is Crickett,
who happens to be married to Stanley.

I see.

Who just bought the men of the owl
society those brand-new vacuums.

His brother owns a vacuum store.

Are-are you telling me that
I'm gonna lose Moty to Stanley?

Well, they come with
a new hepa filter.

A lot of allergies in the owls.

Oh... I have to go.

Well... Have you heard?

The new ownership of
Fancie's is a disaster.

George and Lemon's nonstop fighting
made three servers quit yesterday.

People say they actually
miss Lily Anne.

More servers quit?

Well, the, the opening
is a week away!

Apparently their fighting's gotten so
bad... Even Crickett and Stanley quit.

Thanks, Murphy. Enjoy
the game, bro!

Next brewsky's on me. (LAUGHS)

Hey, you know... Murphy, I'm sorry
about Lemon. She... (LAUGHS)

She had a stroke last week.

Oh, that happened to my grandma.

I'm sorry to hear that.

How dare you apologize for me?

Well, Lemon, bros, brewskies, you
don't talk like that, it's insulting.

I speak their language.

Those vendors happen to love me.

I would know because I have
run a restaurant before.

Oh, here we go with that again!

Guess what. Those vendors,
they do not love you.

They tolerate you because
you give them business.

And because I'm constantly
apologizing for your behavior

like I did when we took
that trip to Mexico.

Just because I was
speaking Spanish!

It was insulting!

I was blending in!

In Mexico, they speak español.

They don't speak espanola Okay.
You know what?

I was adding some
continental flair.

(LISPING) Because that
is how they speak in Spain.

(LISPING)
Well it was painful.

BOTH: How could I forget
how annoying you are?!

What's up, guys?

Wade, he's driving me crazy!
Wade, she's driving me crazy!

It's so embarrassing
what she does!

He's so patronizing! The way
she talks to the vendors!

And you know they hate it!
You know

the vendors adore me! You
know it doesn't work, man!

I so told you that working
together was a bad idea.

So cut the crap.

Look around you, all right.

Your restaurant opens in a
week and it ain't half-finished.

Now you both have sunk a bunch
of money into this enterprise.

So if I were you, I'd stop arguing and
maybe start working a little bit.

You're right. You got a point. I
got my own restaurant to run,

so if you don't mind, sayonara and
good luck. No, Wade, you cannot leave.

No, you cannot leave. You cannot leave us
alone. This is the first time in a week

that we haven't been at each other's
throats. Please, please, Wade.

What? You want me to sit around
here and be y'all's buffer?

That would be awesome, actually.
That is a great idea.

No!

Y'all do need a buffer.
I'll see what I can do.

She's turned my office
into a hardware store.

Oh, you were right to call me.

Zoe? Hmm?

What are you doing?

Oh, there's more flight delays,

so Joel isn't getting in
till late tomorrow night.

And then six hours
later, he has to turn

right back around, which
means we only have

six hours to figure out
all the things going into

our house for
always and forever.

So I bought a bunch of choices, and
I was gonna put them in the house,

but the cement was still wet.
So I'm holding them here

so we can pick as soon
as he arrives. What?

Nothing. That's perfectly sound.

Fix it. Big Z, this is only
the first visit out of many.

You don't have to do
all this stuff today.

Yes, I do.

Joel and I are growing apart.

I can feel it, okay? So I
have to show him how great

our future in Bluebell
is going to be.

Okay.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have
to go pick up some bathtubs.

Zoe...

Poivre fillet deux.
Donc erroné.

Two pepper fillets? Erroneous?

No-no. I meant to say,
poor misguided girl.

Oh. Pauvre fille
douce, si erronée.

Yes, I'm fluent in French.

See, you think a skill like
that would sway the owls club

man of the year contest,
but no, no, no.

You know, as mayor, I hold
some sway with the owls.

And I really need
to learn French.

So how about you and I
help each other out?

(CHUCKLES)

You're here! I missed you.

Oh, my God, you're
four hours late!

I noticed. We sat on
the runway, no snacks.

I'm-I'm exhausted. Well, we don't even

have time to look at all the stuff I
got for the house. Could you maybe

change your return trip?

I've got breakfast with Soderbergh, and
it's really important, or I would.

You know that, right?

Yeah. No, right, of course.

Well, we have, like,
an hour and a half.

You want to get some
dinner around here?

We can shop for fixtures online.

Yeah, or-or maybe we could
just make out in your car.

I like the way you
think, my friend.

(CHUCKLES)

(HORN BEEPS)

JOEL: Oh, hang on, that's not gonna work.

What, are you okay? Yeah,
you come over here.

Yeah, okay. Oh!

Ow, ow.

Oh! I'm sorry! Sorry.

No, it's okay. It's okay...

Sorry. You all right?

Oh! Yeah. Ow! Oh!

Just... oh, geez.
Are you all right?

Uh, yeah. I don't think the prius is
ideally designed for this sort of thing.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I'm gonna try and get out.

Yeah, yeah, sorry.

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

You know, I probably have
to get back to the gate.

Anyway, I am, I'm starving.

I need to get something to eat
before my next 11-hour journey.

I'm sorry.

(MUSIC)

I love you.

I love you, too.

(MUSIC)

(SIGHS)

(SOBS)

Wow, I take it the frenchies
are finally arriving tonight?

Oui, mes ami. J'attends avec
impatience leur arrivée.

Oh. Vive la France.

Nice! Tonight's
gonna be awesome.

17 of our visitors are male.

Ah, bonjour, mon
professeur préféré.

Oh, c'est bon. Bonnes nouvelles!
Bonnes nouvelles!

Dash dit que les hiboux
se penchent vers moi.

Bon.

No, I didn't get that.

Dash says he's in
the lead for Moty.

Congratulations.

Oh, as we say en
français, aw, yeah.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Hi, Zoe.

Are those your pajamas? (CLEARS THROAT)

They're really fashionable.

Haven't see you in a while.

You want to join me
for some pancakes?

No, thanks.

Hey, can I, um,
just get a coffee?

Black coffee?

All right, but you gotta
give me a smile, sunshine.

I'll go to the butter stick.

Meatball, tell George to maybe
stop tasting all the appetizers

and start polishing
the silverware.

Yes.

Hey, Meatball, can you tell Lemon
to get back in the kitchen?

Marcel's having another breakdown
'cause she changed the menu again!

Yes. But first, George,
please polish the silverware.

I know.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Yes, yes, I heard.

Great! Well, that's
the end of my shift.

So, good luck.

Can't wait for the
big opening tonight.

Wait-wait-wait-wait!

Your replacement has
not gotten here yet.

No, no, no, you cannot
leave us alone, please.

No sweat, no sweat, I'm
here, JT, Lemon, I'm here.

Peace. Y'all can get to work.
Thank God.

Thank you, Wally,
thank you, Meatball.

I can't believe this
buffer system is working.

They should definitely consider
trying it in the middle east.

So, you think the
finger's broken, doc?

Oh, it's broken.
But that's okay.

I'm gonna tape it to
the other finger.

Oh. Yeah, it's gonna
lean on that finger.

And that finger's
gonna support it.

Want to know why? Huh?

(VOICE BREAKS) Because it's right
there next to it, where it should be.

Uh, could I maybe get
a second opinion?

Either that or fire her.

Dr. Hart, this is enough.

You need to see Joel.

I know. I'm going
there next week.

Although I'm 90% sure
there'll be an earthquake.

Which is why you must go now.

Get on the next flight.
Surprise him!

Oh, you must. You
definitely must.

ANNABETH: Spontaneous and fun!

Consider that an order.

Thank you.

Edward, welcome! I hope you like
what I've done with that place.

What we've done with the place.

They've both worked so hard.

Well, you both have done the
legacy of Fancie's proud.

Oh... but what is that
buffer pin about?

Oh, oh, he, uh, buffs the floor.

That's why it's so shiny.

Ah. If you'll excuse us.

Thank you. All right.

I cannot believe
we really did it.

No, me neither. (CHUCKLES)

So, will you be going back
to full-time lawyering now?

Yes. Um, however, I
will not be leaving you

to run this place all
by your lonesome.

I still will be involved in every
single one of the major decisions.

Well, I guess we should hire
a full-time buffer, then.

That is a given.

Cheers to our success.

(CLEARS THROAT)
George?

Oh, Connie. Hi. Uh,
welcome to Fancie's.

Oh, I won't be eating here.

I just came to tell you that
my client Lily Anne Lonergan

will be suing the both of you for
unlawful intimidation tactics.

Excuse me? GEORGE: This is just ridiculous.

Lily Anne told me about the
ghost sound that she heard.

Well, maybe the
place is haunted.

Maybe it is. Which is why

I hired a crew to go in and
check the source of the noise.

Lo and behold, they found an
mp3 player in the wine rack.

Could be humiliating to
your law career, Tucky.

Je m'appelle Jean Claude.

I am the deputy mayor

Thank you for having us.

Nice to meet you.

Uh, but, uh, where
is your mayor?

You know, the one
with the not deputy,

and the smile that turns

She is tres busy with her husband

Oh. As the French

(CHUCKLES, CLEARS THROAT)

(MUSIC)

ACTOR: Caesar doth decree that...

Cut! Let's go again right away.

Joel!

Zoe?

Hi! Surprise!

Best surprise ever!

Hi! Oh!

Oh, my God, it's
so Hollywood here!

Hey, I want to introduce you.

This is my producer,
Jeff Powell.

Jeff, this is my
girlfriend, Zoe.

You have a great look! Have
you ever considered acting?

(LAUGHS)
Oh, no, thanks.

I think the idea of anyone
thinking I could be anything

other than a doctor
is ridiculous.

Has she heard the great news?

Uh, no, actually, not yet.

The movie's fast-tracked.

And I'm not letting this
genius leave my side.

(LAUGHS)

We're all going to
London in July.

Hope you like Great
Britain, Zoe.

Great Britain.

With the, uh, queen and the-the Europe?

Yes. Great.

Britain!

Great.

(SIGHS)

You're going to London
instead of back to Bluebell?

Why didn't you tell me?

You know, look, we just found out, and...
And I didn't know how to tell you.

Well, how are we
gonna handle this?

You can come with me.

You know, come on, take a year
off and just... be with me.

London's amazing.

A year?

I'm not allowed to practice
medicine in Europe.

You know how insane
that makes me.

Plus, you're gonna be
on set all the time.

I'm gonna be all by myself.

(SIGHS)

You're right.

And I-I know how much
Bluebell means to you.

But... (LAUGHS PAINFULLY)

I don't want make the choice between
my dream job and my dream girl.

There is no choice.

This is an amazing opportunity for you
and I don't want you to give it up.

You can't give it up.

Well... I mean, what
does that mean?

Is that another year
of long distance?

We've had enough trouble making
it work while you were here.

I mean, think about a
transatlantic relationship.

Well, yeah, but... What
other choice do we have?

(MUSIC)

Mayor Hayes!

Ah. May I just say, uh, your
town, it's... it's lovely.

You know, we are
having a super time.

Oh, great.

That is good to hear, you know?
Yeah.

And that's all that
really matters.

Yeah. Oh, uh... I realize that, uh,
this is cliché of me, but, uh...

There is a pretty girl
I have my eyeballs on.

And, uh...
Oh-ho-ho.

I was hoping that you could
provide an introduction.

Who?

Uh...

Her?

Yeah. Whew!

Yeah, in America, we
introduce ourselves.

Well, it is official.

Signed, sealed, delivered.

Lily Anne is back
running Fancie's.

Yep. (SIGHS)

Here's to a lifetime of songs
about me, and hoping that.

Lily Anne hates you enough
to spread the wealth.

Well, we deserve it.

Yep.

Mmm. Ooh... Another, please.

Okay. (LAUGHS)

I do gotta tell you, though, I feel like
we dodged a bullet. 'Cause you and me

working together? Bad idea.

Terrible idea.

Uh-huh. So terrible.

It's like... everything
that I tolerated about you

for the past 15 years just started to
drive me insane again. Like the way that

you clear your throat every
time that you walk into a room.

Or the way you clickety-clack your nails

on every possible surface.
(LAUGHING) Oh, yeah?

Well, how about how
stubborn you are?

Oh, how stubborn I am? Yeah.

Again? Mm-hmm.

So she's afraid of, um... Kittens, uh,
hammocks, carbon monoxide poisoning...

Smokers, laryngitis, Norwegians,
oranges, um... Hey, Lily Anne.

Hello, scourge of the earth.

Hey, I wanted to introduce
you to my girlfriend,

the lovely miss Vivian wilkes.

You know... mend
fences and whatever.

Welcome back to town.

Well, I'm gonna look around.

See what you got going on here.

(WHISPERING)
Lead with carbon monoxide.

Vivian... Hard name to rhyme.

I could try and scare you away, but I
figured I would appeal to your talent.

Hmm. Singing songs about the
people who live here...

That'll be funny for a while.

But people aren't gonna
keep coming around

to see their friends and
neighbors get dumped on.

It's just a bit of...
business advice.

Also, you should know that I'm a
part of the Norwegian wilkes clan.

We raise cats and oranges, and
our cars have a lot of exhaust.

Consider this your one
and only warning.

Ready to hit the road, babe?

Absolutely.

Uh... (SNIFFS)

Come here.

Mmm... (CHUCKLES)

Oh... I just want you to know
that... You changed my life.

You know? You made me so happy.

Whoa, hold on a second.

Don't talk about me
in the past tense.

We agreed this is just a break.

It's not over.

Okay.

I should go, I don't
want to miss my flight.

Hey.

It's just a break.

Just while I do the movie, and
then as soon as it's finished,

I'm gonna come back to Bluebell.

When it's finished,
you are going to be

a big screenwriter, and
you're gonna move here,

or back to New York, and
go on with your life.

No, I am coming back,
I promise you.

This is not good-bye, it's just a break.

Okay?

Okay.

Well... Good... break, Joel.

Good break.

(CHUCKLES)

Bye.

ROSE: Good morning, tout le monde.

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

Every year, our local men's
club, the Bluebell owls,

chooses a man of the year.

It's kind of like your
legion of honors medal,

but from a bunch of middle-aged
men who like to hoot.

(MEN HOOTING)

I don't see how anyone can look
so glum on such a fine, fine day.

How's that for a reason?

And he ran the missed field goal all
the way back to win the game! Oh!

Because auburn is a
far superior team.

Annabeth, I could listen to you
talk about this American football

until the end of time.

Well, are... are
you hitting on me?

Because I just... well,
it's just, I got

out of a serio relationship.
Oh, dear.

(HOOTING)

(APPLAUSE)

DASH: Ladies and gentlemen,
this year's man of the year

is, uh, a true inspiration.

His dedication to his
career has inspired us all

to make our own work
a little bit better.

It took us a while to get used to...
his ways, but, um... (CHUCKLES)

he slowly wormed his way into
our hearts with his kindness,

his humor, and his sheer will.

And we also love the way
he loved our own Dr. Hart.

Our man of the year...
Mr. Joel Stephens.

(APPLAUSE)

Oh, man.

I am so sorry.

DASH: As we all know, Joel
is off in Hollywood...

(LAUGHS)...
Becoming famous.

So is there anyone here who
will accept on his behalf?

Anyone here... To
accept on his behalf?

ZOE: I will.

(APPLAUSE)

Thanks.

I-I know just how much this
award would mean to Joel.

He really grew to love it here.

And-and we loved him.

A lot.

So much.

But you know, um...
things happen.

And opportunities arise.

And he says that he's coming back,
but... We know that he's not.

Um... (CHOKED UP) He would
be so proud of this.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna take this home,
you know, so I-I can remember him.

Thank you so much.

(APPLAUSE)

DASH: Thank you, everybody.

That concludes our presentation.

Did you know?

No.

Poor Zoe.

Poor Zoe?

Poor Zoe.

And-and where's Lemon?

She ought to be here.

She must be with George.

I should go find 'em,
tell 'em the good news.

'Cause, you know, it's official.

Babs just told me. They
got Fancie's back.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

(MUSIC)

(QUIETLY)
Oh, God.

(MUSIC)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

It's me.

Brought ice cream.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR, DOOR OPENS)

WADE: I brought fries.

Tissues.

Hugs.

Move over.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Leave room for me.

I brought a breakup pie.

Ooh! Whoa.

Is that breakup pie?

(LAUGHS)
Good.

Uh, Lemon's not here, is she?
Okay, good.

(GEORGE LAUGHS)

Hey... You gonna be okay?

Eventually, yeah.

I got all of you guys.

How could I not be?

Aw... yeah.

That bed is so soft...
(TALKING, LAUGHING)

We brought cake.
