Hart of Dixie (2011–2015): Season 3, Episode 6 - Family Tradition - full transcript

Tomorrow night is the one-year
anniversary of our first date.

I have something
special planned.

He promised it would be
a night I'd remember forever.

Are you thinking the "one other thing"
is what I'm thinking it is?

I'm sorry, but that
special surprise is off.

What?

You can't show
Night of the Living Dead in November.

- That was your special surprise?
- Yeah, got you, right?

We are not going to get together.
Lavon would break my kneecaps.

I'm going to wear you
down, George Tucker.

- Good morning.
- What you reading?



- A medical journal.
- Mm. Sounds hot.

- Hmm.
- Tell me more about it.

Well, it turns out that high blood
glucose levels are tied to dementia.

- What is happening?!
- Congratulations!

You two are now officially the longest
guests at the Whippoorwill Blossom.

- Breakfast is on the house.
- Dash.

Oh... well...

We are both honored and humbled
by the magnitude of our achievement,

but, you know, we've
been over this before,

the whole knocking thing.
It's really simple.

You just... you ball your fist,
and go like this.

Well, I...

I think it might be time for us
to find our own place.

Oh, but looking for a house
to rent is such a hassle.



And this place
is so comfy.

What?

Just a photo
for the brochure.

Please, resume canoodling!

Let's start looking
this afternoon.

Man, we got so many Lincolns, old Jeff
Davis gonna be rolling over in his grave.

I must say, Wade Kinsella,
we've become quite the team.

We have grown 20%
this quarter.

I know just what to do
with the extra dough.

- Okay, enough with the go-go dancers.
- No.

We need a radio ad
with a jingle.

It could play all over this state.
We could bring more tourists in.

Wade, that is a great idea.

Good, 'cause I've actually already
been working on a loose version.

The only problem is, there's not a lot of
positive words that rhyme with "jammer."

Basically, "hammer,"
"slammer," "stammer..."

- Okay. You'll think of something.
- Who's your partner?

That's me.
That's me. Ooh-wee.

When you are finished dancing,
you might want to tend to the kitchen.

Shanetta's started
another fire.

What?

A.B.! You're back?

I was about to have Sheriff Bill get
a posse together to come look for you.

I told you, I was
visiting my sister.

True, but... any time anyone says
they're excited to hang out with family,

I assume it's like one of those
hostage video statements.

Nope. No off-screen
gunmen, just...

Visiting my sister.

- Is everything okay with you and Lavon?
- Yeah, why?

Well, he just said that he's going to
a bachelor party this weekend in Vegas

with NFL buddies
and that you're fine with it.

- I am. Why wouldn't I be?
- I don't know.

Bachelor party. Vegas.
NFL buddies. Vegas.

- Ladies.
- Hi.

Did you know that you have
the coolest girlfriend?

It's true.
He does.

This is about the
bachelor party, isn't it?

Well, don't worry
about it.

I'm thinking about bailing
on the whole thing.

What? Why?

Those guys get
pretty wild.

I mean, the schedule is all...
club, another club, strip club,

steal a tiger from Mike Tyson, repeat.
Not my thing.

It should be your thing.
At least for this weekend.

I'll see you Sunday night.
I have to get to work, okay?

Okay, I...
I may be wrong,

but did A.B. just hand me a stack of
ones and say, "Enjoy the strip clubs"?

You're a lucky man.

- Oh!
- George.

- Hey.
- Haven't seen you in days.

How are your goods?
Still damaged?

Uh... no, the goods,
they're... good.

Um... oh! Uh, before I forget,
I have something for you.

You left this
on my houseboat

and I know the LSATs are coming up,
so I thought you might need it.

Well, thank you.

- Was there something else?
- No.

Have a good day.

George, how long have
you had this, anyway?

You could've dropped this book
off at my front door anytime.

Or in my mailbox.

Or left it with Lavon.

Yeah, I could've
done that.

But then you wouldn't have had
the excuse to talk to me, right?

No, Lynly. I... mmm. I'm not
looking for an excuse to talk to you.

- Okay?
- If you say so, George.

But...

Come on, Babs. There has to be
a house that's a little nicer.

- Less... infested.
- Well, turnover in BlueBell is low.

You gotta wait for the right
property to come along.

Like a good man.

Sometimes it takes
a long...

Long...

Long, long time.

Hey, Ernie Cooper's
old house is for rent?

This place is great.

No, this one's
not for you.

Oh, no. I've done house calls
here before. This place is amazing.

- Of course it's for us.
- Oh!

Look at the light
in that study.

Look, honey, the owner
might not rent to you.

I'm the town doctor.
Who wouldn't rent to me?

- Winifred Wilkes.
- Wilkes. As in... Harley Wilkes?

- My dead father?
- Winifred was Harley's first cousin.

Hey! You're related.
Family discount.

There's a small, tiny, eensy
chance it could go the other way.

- How eensy?
- 100%.

Kitchen's running
slow again.

You want to come back here
and say that to my face?

No.

Oh, my gosh!
What is Edward doing here?

Quick, go get the good silver.
And I mean the clean stuff.

Hurry, hurry.

Edward.

The owner of Fancie's doesn't patronize
our humble restaurant every day.

- To what do we owe the honor?
- I'm here to see you.

Oh. Little ol' me? Why?

I am so impressed with what you
have done to this place, Lemon.

Thanks to you, the Rammer Jammer
has become a destination.

You clearly have a gift
for the restaurant business.

Thank you, Edward.

I realize that you
are otherwise committed,

but I was wondering if you might
consider a new challenge.

- Well, what are you talking about?
- It is time I retire.

And I can't think of a single person
I'd rather sell Fancie's to.

Wow, th...
that's so sweet.

I'm-I'm honored.
I mean, Fancie's is...

Well, I mean, it's the best
restaurant in the entire area.

Uh, but... um...

I'm happy here.

You are not going
to believe this.

- She's missing an earring.
- What?

She insists on wearing those cheap
feather things in her ears.

- When did you have it last?
- I think I was dicing the slaw.

Okay, no one eat the coleslaw.

We'll get you more,
on the house.

Um, all I ask is, uh,
you think about it.

So when you told me
about coming down here

and discovering the identity
of your real father,

I just assumed that you left out
all the aunts and uncles and stuff

to keep
the story tight.

No, I just... I met the
one Wilkes, Aunt Maureen.

She smelled like mothballs, was spooky,
and tried to make me a Belle.

And no one else ever
reached out to you?

I may have been invited
to a few barbeques.

You may have?

Okay, they invited me
to a bunch of stuff.

But I was busy starting a practice,
and I was... busy.

You know? So eventually,
the Evites stopped.

The Wilkes are strangers.
You don't talk to strangers.

Families are hard
and expensive.

As proven by
my therapy bills.

We don't need
a house that bad.

Mm. Maybe you feel if you
reach out to this family,

they will hurt you,
like your dad.

The doctor.
The undead one.

- I'm not scared. I'm smart.
- Yes, but what if the Wilkes are amazing?

What if they're
warm and fun?

You know, people to have holidays
with and Sunday barbeques.

What if they're
cold and boring?

And they shoot what they're
gonna eat for Sunday barbeques,

and one Sunday,
that could be us.

- Think I'll take my chances.
- Great.

- Be my guest. Just leave me out of it.
- Come on, Zoe. Look, one phone call.

No! I don't want
to talk about this anymore.

Okay? As a matter of fact, let's just
eat the rest of our lunch in silence.

Okay.

Is that an... earring
in your coleslaw?

Season 3, Episode 6
"Family Tradition"

Hey. Is it true
that Theresa quit?

- Yeah.
- Why? We just hired her.

Well, we shouldn't have.

She's crazy. I mean, she flipped
out on me this morning.

This morning?

Wade. You slept
with her?

Why can you not separate
your business from your pleasure?

Calm down, all right?

Business is booming, and as it happens,
so too is my pleasure.

You should be thanking me.
I did us a favor.

- Oh, a favor?
- Mm-hmm.

- Really?
- Yeah.

The game is tomorrow, we have a crowd of
people coming, and no second bartender.

Good news is, this
jingle's going great.

- Let me...
- Wade.

This isn't funny, okay? Things
need to change around here.

There's just too much...
incompetence.

Whoa. Who crawled up your
skirt and died, sister?

Hey, guys, the health
inspector just called.

Apparently, someone told him
about Shanette's earring.

And he might make a pop-in
so I was thinking maybe

we should do something about
that weird smell in the kitchen.

Yeah. Does smell pretty bad.

Fine.

- I will take care of it.
- All right. Cool.

Okay.

Twice in two days.

you found something else to
return to me, so you followed me in here.

No, actually, I'm just in here
to pick up my lunch, so...

That old story.
Hey, Wade.

You seem to know how
to have a good time.

Well, I do try my best.

I've got a tragically empty social
calendar and I'm looking to fill it.

- Any ideas?
- Uh... you know how to work a beer tap?

Don't you just pull the lever,
fill the mug?

Well, that's
the easy part.

Tricky part is doing that while fending
off advances from awkward dudes.

I've had plenty
of practice.

All right, then. I'll see you tomorrow.

- Will do, Wade.
- Here you go, George.

Oh, thank you.

Kickoff's at 7:00,
George.

I'm sure I'll see you when
your TV magically breaks.

Emergency!

We have
an emergency here!

this one
ran the other one over.

Patty, Prizzi,
what happened?

- I was just backing up.
- I stopped to pick up her soda can.

What kind of person
just litters like that?

She bent down.
I didn't see here.

She shouldn't have been...

- ...driving!
- ...down there!

- She's compulsive.
- She's blind.

family is dangerous.

These two are certifiable.

What'd you just say
about my sister?

I'm gonna smash
your face in.

No one talks that way
about a Pritchett!

Ladies, listen, I'm sure
she didn't mean anything.

- I wanna go to Brick.
- I agree.

It wasn't your fault. You were
just looking out the window.

It wasn't your fault. You were
just looking out for my lawn.

- I'm sorry!
- I'm sorry!

Isn't that sweet? Family.

That's it? This one runs the other one
over and you just forgive each other?

It's just like they say
in our favorite movie...

Dolphin Tale.

Family is forever.

Dolphin Tale?

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

AnnaBeth, you here?

No, no, no,
this ain't happening!

Lavon, what are you doing here?

Well, I decided not to go to Vegas
because I had this weird feeling.

And now I know the weird feeling's
on account of a guy with giant feet!

Who belongs to those shoes?

- Let me explain.
- AnnaBeth?

Lavon, you remember
my father.

The size 14?

- Mayor Hayes.
- Mr. Thibodaux.

It turns out my parents
are visiting for the weekend.

48-hour shore leave from their
retirement cruise. Fun!

Sweetie, why does the mayor
have a key to your place?

Is it one of those
"key to the city" keys?

'Cause I thought those were larger...
And decorative.

Interesting question.

We're dating!
Surprise!

The two of you?

You and Mayor Hayes, you're-you're...
You're dating?

Yes, indeed.

Well, excuse me.

I've just got to call
your mother.

Wha...? I can't believe your parents
don't know we're dating?!

Is that why you wanted
me out of town?

Lavon, I...

Yes.

Is this about
what I think it's about?

Some people are just so set
in their ways in the South.

We'd like to think
that we've changed, but...

Football.

We are not a post-rival
America!

My family
is Auburn royalty.

And you're 'Bama
through and through.

Well, what were you gonna do,
keep the secret forever?

I was waiting
for their cruise to be over

before telling them.
I didn't want to take the chance

that one of them would jump
overboard.

Oh, don't hate me.

Everything's gonna be
all right now.

We'll just help them get
to know the real Lavon Hayes.

Yeah. I'll make food
for everybody tomorrow.

- We'll bond over barbecue.
- That sounds brilliant!

By brilliant, you mean
we have no other options?

Yep.

This movie, Frank?
It's incredible!

It's about a dolphin who loses its tail,
so they build it a new one,

but it can't live
in the ocean anymore, Frank,

so they have to put it
in an aquarium,

and the struggle
to save Winter's life,

the mom and the kid

and Harry Connick.

Because family is forever,
Frank!

Family is forever.

It is a popular rental.

Look, um, could I ask you
something?

You need to ask me,
Frank the pharmacist, or me...

Frank, Dixie Stop PI?

Just out of curiosity, you know,
how hard would it be if, say

I wanted to get in touch
with the Wilkes clan?

Do they all live
near each other?

Is there a patriarch
or a matriarch?

- Do they bowl?
- That's a softball.

Everybody in the Wilkes family's gonna be
at a birthday party in Lillian tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

I'm gonna need to renew this.

Oh, again? The dolphins?
Really?

I mean, did you get
any sleep?

Joel, I figured it out.

I want the barbecues
and the holidays.

I want someone to forgive me
if I hit them with my car.

Family is forever.

It's time to meet
the Wilkes.

That's great!
I'm really proud of you.

How you want to do this?
You want to, like, I don't know,

invite one or two of 'em
over for dinner?

No. We're going to Lillian to crash
an eight-year-old's birthday party.

Gonna meet them all at once.

Okay. I love it, I love it.

We'll just... jump right in.

We're gonna hurdle.
We'll be sweet and charming,

and they'll all fall in love
with me at once, right?

Yeah, yeah, of course.
Why wouldn't they?

- Maybe we should bring a present.
- A humongous present.

Hey, Lemon.
Is everything okay?

George, um, great.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

In confidence?

Attorney-client privilege?

Yes, but technically, I can't be
your attorney unless I collect fees.

Attorney-client privilege it is.

What's up?

Edward offered
to sell me Fancie's.

And you know how much I love Fancie's.
I mean, ever since

we were young, A.B. and I
used to play Fancie's.

We would dress up
our stuffed animals,

we would feed them
the finest cuisine.

Fancie's does seem
a lot more up your alley,

but aren't you and Wade doing
really well here?

You guys are this unlikely super team.

Are you sure you want to mess up
what's already working?

You know what, you're right.

I'm just,
I'm having a bad day.

It'll go away.

All right, well, you need
anything else, just call me.

- Thanks.
- All right.

Yeah, so, uh, we need to hire
a new fish delivery person,

and maybe not one of the
female persuasion this time.

All right, let me
grab this for you. Okay.

Okay, it's just
a 120-year-long rivalry

between the two of the greatest
football powerhouses in the South.

That's right.

No reason we can't
put it to bed

with a plate
of baby back ribs

and our charming
dispositions.

Go...

'Bama!

Uh, Gerald, Dorrie,
um, am I dreaming,

or are y'all wearing
my beloved Alabama jerseys?

And... they got your number
on the back!

I'll call Dr. Hart.

They've obviously had
some sort of brain trauma.

Oh, sweetheart!

Isn't she delightfully
hilarious?

We don't care about some
silly old football feud.

We love Lavon Hayes!

- Oh!
- You are family now!

Well, this is
easier than anticipated.

Hey, how about a tour
of the Mayor's mansion?

- Whoo!
- Yeah.

Mom, what is going on?!

We're just trying to be
supportive of you, honey.

We want this to work;
you dating the Lavon Hayes.

We could be in-laws
to the mayor!

In-laws?! He has not proposed!

We know. Your father and I
called your sister last night.

She filled us in
on your little love saga.

Men just need a little nudge in
the right direction sometimes.

No-no-no-no!

There will be
no nudging.

Trust us. We know
what we're doing.

Now I want to see
this house.

Uh... hey.

On second thought,
this is a big jump.

Jumping without
forethought,

that's how you break
your legs, your arms.

I need my arms.

Zoe, Zoe, no-no-no.
You can't back out now.

We can do this.
We totally belong here.

You know, we'll just
tell them who you are,

that you came
to mend fences,

and celebrate
the future generations.

Yeah, that's gonna
work, right?

Yeah, totally.

Plus we brought
a great gift.

That we left in the car.
I'll be right back.

Wait, Joel, don't leave!

Be right back, right back.

Well, hello! I didn't
think you were coming!

What?!

You're-you're glad to see me?

I'm thrilled!
The party planner said

the entertainer's car
broke down, but here you are.

You're the party
entertainment, right?

Oh, no, no, I'm not.

Oh. Then why are you here?

I know you're not family.

I'm not the entertainment...
He is!

This is the Great Joel-ini!

He's a magician!

A magician?
A magician?!

I freaked out, okay?
It's actually a great idea.

'Cause now we can feel them out,
see what kind of family they are,

are they crazy,
are they clingy?

Yeah, that's great, except there's one
small problem, I'm not a magician!!

- I've seen you do card tricks.
- I know two card tricks!

They are entertaining, but that
doesn't qualify me as entertainment.

You're the one who wanted me
to have a family.

Let me win them over
with my winning personality.

But before I do that I need
to get them really drunk.

- I...
- Please?

Well, this is not exactly
the way

I would have gone about it, but
dating you is certainly never boring.

I will go find
a deck of cards.

A magician who didn't come
with his own hat.

Oh, yeah, well he just graduated
magician school.

- So this is his big break.
- It's quite a venue for it, too.

Everybody knows that the
journey from the six-year-old

party circuit to the cover of
Magician's Monthly is short.

- Right. So you are a Wilkes?
- Vivian Wilkes, birthday boy's mom.

Oh, wow. Congratulations. It seems
like you have a very large family.

Oh, yes. The Wilkes come out in droves
for birthdays, holidays, funerals.

We're kind of loyal like that.
Much like a herd of elephants.

- Sounds a little oppressive.
- Oh, it can be. But, you know, family.

I don't know how I'd get
by without knowing

that they will be here
for me no matter what.

I get that.

Have you seen Dolphin Tale?

This must be
the birthday boy?

Yep. Somebody is eight today.

- Wow...
- Say hello, Harley.

- Pleased to meet you.
- Pleased to meet you.

- He is so cute.
- Thank you.

- Yeah!
- And to think we were worried

everyone wasn't gonna get along.
How awesome is this?

So... so awesome.

This barbecue sauce is amazing.
You must be a wizard in the kitchen.

- A wizard!
- Oh, he is. A regular Harry Potter.

Of the kitchen.

You know, our little BananaBeth
is a culinary genius herself.

BananaBeth?

Of-of course. I have the happiest
taste buds in BlueBell.

You know, Lavon,
I can tell you

from experience that a wife's cooking
is one of the main ingredients

in the recipe
that is a long and loving...

Look at the time.

Y'all have to hit the
open waters tomorrow.

Probably should rest up before
you get back on the ship.

Well, hell, it's not like
we're rowing the damn thing.

Oh, no.

Matter of fact, isn't there
a 'Bama game on right now?

- Well, I'm-I'm recording it for later.
- Let's turn it on, son. Roll Tide!

All right. After you.

All right, Harley, what do you
think happened to your card?

Wait, is it under your shoe?
Let's see is it under your shoe?

No, no, I mean... Is it
under your armpit there?

Let me see. Other armpit.
Let me see, let me see. Oh, gosh.

I guess it must be gone.
Unless it's, uh... Behind your ear.

And that is Christie over there.
She is a hoot.

She hate-reads
a new romance novel every day,

and then she just won't shut up
about how awful the writing is.

Oh, and this is Brando.

- Ooh.
- He's my grandpa.

My real name is Vernon.

They call me Brando because of my
incredible Marlon Brando impersonation.

I'm gonna
make him an offer he can't refuse.

Stella!

I know.

- It's uncanny.
- Oh.

- That was...
- Terrible!

Sometimes he recites the whole
script for Don Juan DeMarco.

His Johnny Depp impression actually
sounds more like Brando than his Brando.

Hey.

Oh, and this is my sister, Winnie.
I'm sorry, I don't know your name.

Oh, it's... Chloe.

- Nice to meet you.
- So glad you guys arrived.

The kids were
getting restless.

And my cousin Bobby's boyfriend
offered to do balloon animals.

But he could only
make snakes.

So it's a good thing
you guys came when you did.

Do you perform, too?

Oh, no, I'm here more in
the advisory capacity.

Hi, hi.

- Hi. - Hi.
- Hey.

Okay. So, I've done
the two card tricks I know

in as many permutations
as possible.

But if I do them again, the kids might
mutiny. We need some new ideas.

- Okay, I got you covered.
- Thank you.

Hey, Vivian? Do you
have any shaving cream?

The chicken paillard is one
of my favorite dishes as well.

Ah, it was superb. I mean,
this place, it's superb.

It always has been. No, uh,
earrings in the coleslaw.

No one's sleeping with the help.
No fires in the kitchen.

Edward, I belong here.

- I would like to buy Fancie's.
- I am very, very happy to hear that.

But after you said no earlier,
I was approached by another buyer.

I regret having to press, but...
I need your offer by tonight.

Tonight?

Okay, well, then, tonight it is.

- I will do my best.
- Wonderful.

Alabama goes up-tempo.
Eddy Lacy with the carry.

Man, that is one sweet hurry-up
offense your guys are running there.

You know, when you set
aside the rivalry,

you can really
appreciate the artistry.

My head might literally explode.

Oh, you will never guess
who I heard from last week.

Jake's mother.

Jake? As in
A.B.'s ex-husband, Jake?

- No, no, no, do not take the bait.
- Yes, and get this.

Apparently Jakey's
been asking

about A.B., says that he
is sorry for what happened.

Says that he is
a changed man.

Well, if there's anything
I learned from being mayor,

it's that saying and doing
are two different things.

So true. The words
of a man of action.

Hmm, speaking of action.

Let's watch some Alabama football
since we all love the Crimson Tide.

I think all your mother's saying is
that AnnaBeth is in high demand.

Oh, for the love of God.
Oh, my God, did you see that call?

The refs are totally
in the Tide's pocket.

It's just like you always say, Daddy.
Alabama pays off the refs.

- Just like in the 2009 Iron Bowl.
- Hold on, now.

Now, I-I do not say that.

I'm totally over that crushing,
corrupt, criminal...

Now, Gerald. You just watch
your blood pressure, honey.

This is getting
way too heated for me.

I insist that we watch the rest
of the game in absolute silence.

Pushed... short.

We used to do this at the children's
ward in the hospital.

- Where I used to volunteer at.
- Oh, my gosh, so...

You're a good person.

Whoa, we need a good
person around here.

We're just a bunch of boozing,
TV-watching, heathens.

- Oh, believe me, so are we. Mm-hmm.
- Oh, very much so.

This is so fun!

- Thanks!
- Yeah, sure.

Oh, God save us... Ned's brought
out the karaoke machine.

Oh, no. You two are not
getting away with this one.

When at a Wilkes party.

- When at a Wilkes party.
- Oh...

Oh, w-wait a minute.
Oh, no, we're dancing.

Oh, hey!

- I know you.
- Ah, yeah.

- I'm a big fan of yours.
- Oh, my gosh, this is amazing.

They are amazing. I love them,
and they love me.

Well, that's great. I mean,
they're great and you're great.

- It makes perfect sense.
- Yeah.

- I'm gonna tell them who I am.
- Perfect, you should.

Right after this dance.

Touchdown!

Thank you, George Tucker.

- You just earned me ten bucks.
- Uh, how is that?

I bet Big Sam here you'd randomly
stop by before halftime.

That was five bucks.

I got the extra five when you started
to stare all moony-eyed at me.

Uh, well you might want to hold
on to your money there, Big Sam.

'Cause I'm just here
to enjoy the game.

Mingle with some fellow fans.
And these eyes... Not moony.

Is that so?

Trust me.

Hey, there. Uh, I'm sorry, have we met?
I'm George.

I know who you are.

- Excuse me...
- Well, how-how is that fair...

Exactly? I mean... You know who I am
and I know nothing about you.

I-I say we go somewhere and-and
remedy that injustice immediately.

- How about you?
- Sure.

- I like that, I like that.
- Okay, but just...

Oh, hey, Lemon!

I think Tom and I
struck pay dirt.

All right, ready and go!

♪ Are you hungry
or just thirsty ♪

♪ Or just looking for some fun ♪

♪ Come to the Rammer Jammer ♪

♪ Alabama's number one. ♪

♪ Rammer... ♪
No, it's ♪ Rammer... ♪

- Wade, uh...
- ♪ Ram... Ram... ♪

Can I speak to you
for a moment please?

- In private.
- Yeah.

It's ♪ Rammer Jammer... ♪

If you don't like it,
I have other ideas.

I just need to come up with something
that rhymes with chicken fried steak.

I have an idea.

What if instead of buying a radio ad,
we use the surplus money to expand?

To build a-a better, higher-end
Rammer Jammer, say, at Fancie's?

I mean, we could
even keep the name.

- What are you talking about?
- I spoke to Edward, and he is selling.

And he's willing to let us in on the
ground floor if we make an offer tonight.

What? No.
I hate Fancie's.

I hate the name. I hate
all that pretentious food.

I like the simple things,
all right?

I like foods you can pronounce
in one syllable.

Eggs, grits, uh, slaw.

And the Rammer Jammer is the
only place I ever wanted to run.

Owning a joint like this
has been my dream since forever.

But it hasn't been mine.

And I...

I think that I need a change.

Wh-What are you saying?

Wade, working
with you has been amazing.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Are...?

Are you giving me
a compliment sandwich?

I invented the compliment
sandwich, lady.

- What? I just wanted to...
- Tell me that you want to buy Fancie's.

All right, go ahead, buy it.
But you're doing it on your own.

I'm gonna take that surplus
cash, I'm gonna buy you out.

Thanks.

Well, good luck, Lemon.

And, you know,
not that you will,

but if you need a jingle,

I can help you come up
with some rhymes for Fancie's.

It's not gonna be easy though.

- ♪ Rammer Jammer, Ram... ♪
- Jingle's off, Tom.

Aw, man!

Well, that one's
Most Promising Freshman.

Well, you certainly
lived up to that promise,

Mr. Big Fancy Mayor.

Can't even run to the little girls' room
without you two hijacking my boyfriend.

What'd I miss?
Please say nothing.

I was just telling
your parents that, uh,

despite all these trophies, being mayor of
BlueBell is the highlight of my career.

As it should be.

- Now, tell me something, uh, Mr. Mayor.
- Yeah.

Do you ever worry about your
electability as a single man?

- No, he doesn't.
- Uh, do I what now?

Well, it's a known fact that approval
ratings rise for politicians with wives.

And yet Lavon keeps getting elected,
so he must be doing something right.

Well, mayor's one thing, but...

tell me you don't have
your eyes on the bigger prize.

Congressman Hayes.
Governor Hayes.

Oh, I can just see you now
with AnnaBeth on your arm,

settling into the
Governor's mansion.

Oh, I think we're getting
ahead of ourselves.

On everything.

Listen, we have
contacts in Montgomery

I am itching to use... it's the
sort of thing you do for family.

That's right.

Oh, for the love of all
that is holy, you have to stop.

First of all, I said no nudging.

Second of all
that is not a nudge.

You're running him down with
a Mack truck with the words

"Marry AnnaBeth"
on the side!

I am an adult.
Lavon is an adult.

And we will make decisions
in our own time.

So...

Second half?

Well...

I think we're gonna pass.

- We're getting a little tired.
- We'll show ourselves out.

I apologize.

What?
You got nothing to apologize for.

That's what parents do.
They-they can't understand

that two people can be happy
just the way they are.

We're in no hurry
to-to move to the next step.

A.B.?

Hey, fun party.

Oh, thank you. It was
so nice to meet you.

- You're-you're great.
- Oh, you are, too.

I just, I feel like we have
so much in common.

- I know. It's true.
- Yeah.

And there's a reason for that.
A great reason.

I'm sorry. What's happening here?
Are you hitting on me?

No. The reason that we're so much
alike... is because we're cousins!

I'm Zoe Hart.

Harley's daughter.

Yeah! I recently moved
back to Alabama with Joel,

and we've been talking about
the future and family,

and I just thought
it was time.

And you thought the best way
to do that was to come here

and pretend to be
a magician's manager?

Look, I-I was scared.

I-I should have told you who
I was when I first got here.

- So I'm sorry.
- Don't apologize.

In fact, you probably had
the right idea to hide your identity.

I'm fairly certain that nobody here
would appreciate your presence.

Excuse me?

Just because you happen to be in the
bloodline doesn't mean you belong.

The way it works with family, Miss Hart,
is you get out what you put in.

And you've put in nothing.

To us, you're nothing
but the entertainment.

- Hey, how'd it go?
- I don't want to talk about it.

Hey, uh, Wade,
have you seen Lynly?

Oh, yeah, she stepped out
on break out with some guy.

- Big Sam?
- He was pretty big.

Hey, there.

Can I get you a glass
of wine or something?

Uh, you know you're gonna have
to start paying for it now.

As it turns out,
my offer was too low.

Edward has accepted
another buyer.

Any chance you'd take me back?

Lemon...

Look, it's been a ride,

and I've loved almost
every minute of it.

But you and me, we want
different things in the world.

Yeah, I suppose that's true.

Still, I'd take you back in a second
if you could tell me that this place,

with its fish guts
and the missing earrings

and my particular proclivities
was gonna be enough for you.

But I don't suspect
that's the case, is it?

I'm so confused, Wade.

It's like I don't know where
I belong in the world anymore.

I mean... I love it here,
but I don't belong.

I still feel like I'm just visiting.
Like I'm in limbo.

Maybe somewhere between Fancie's and
the Rammer Jammer I will find my home.

You keep looking.

You'll find a place that makes you happy.
I know it.

I've never been more sure
of anything.

Thank you.

You are a good friend.

Probably the best one
that I've got.

Right back at you, lady.

And you know, don't worry
about the wine, all right?

You'll always drink
for free here.

Especially 'cause nobody likes
this crap you got from Napa anyway.

Lynly?

Wow, that took you,
like, ten whole minutes.

Lynly, what's going on? I thought
you were out here with, uh...

Big Sam? I told Wade that to see
if you'd get all jealous...

And to win
five more dollars.

- Yeah, knew that. I knew that.
- No, you didn't.

George, you say you want me
to stay away from you.

- So why can't you stay away from me?
- Oh, right now?

Uh, because I was worried
that you might be...

What? Be having
a good time?

Need someone
to look after me?

You are acting like my boyfriend,
but without any of the benefits.

Lynly, I don't...

George, look me in the eye and
tell me you don't want to kiss me.

That has never been
the issue here.

Then what
are you waiting for?

No. See? This is
a bad idea.

There are worse ones
out there.

Okay, well, I don't want
you to get hurt.

And I do not want to
get hurt again myself.

I'll be your Band-Aid
if you'll be mine.

Bet you feel better already.

This isn't really about
your parents, is it?

Halloween night,

you said you had something
special planned?

I might have jumped
to a premature conclusion.

You thought I was
gonna propose?

In retrospect,
I sort of get that.

And since then, it's like a switch
flipped on in my brain,

and I haven't stopped thinking
about where we stand.

It's not fair to you, I know, but I feel
like I wasted a lot of time on Jake,

and I don't want
to waste any more.

But I love you.

And things have been going great...
Haven't they?

Yes, of course.

They've been so great...

But I'm ready for more.

I don't need to know
where we're heading.

I just need to know
we're on the same path.

And this isn't an ultimatum,
but what I need to know is...

If or when there comes a time

that you aren't on that path
with me, you need to tell me.

Okay?

And I love you,
too, but...

I think I'm gonna stay
at my place tonight.

Hey. Okay, so I just watched, like,
a dozen card trick videos online.

I am this close
to going pro.

Listen.

Hey. I'm sorry that I pressured you
into reaching out to your family.

- I just, I want you to be happy.
- It's not your fault. It's totally mine.

I just didn't realize
how much I wanted it.

But seeing how
they loved each other,

it just hurts knowing that
I can't be a part of it.

Well, you don't know
what the future holds.

You know, maybe the Wilkes
will come around.

Probably with pitchforks.

Maybe. I kind of hope so.

Well, until then, you'll
just have to contend with me

and my big
overbearing family.

- Yeah.
- Or actually,

as a matter of fact,
I was thinking

of inviting Grandma Sylvie
down here for Hanukkah.

- She would love BlueBell.
- Wow, Grandma Sylvie?

Yeah, yeah. And maybe we can
invite your mom and your dad, too!

What?! No.

- I'm kidding! I'm just kidding
- Oh, my God.

...about your
parents, but not about Sylvie.

Grandma Sylvie's
definitely coming.

- Hmm.
- Hey, now,

um, I'll have you know
that I convinced Dash to buy

"Do Not Disturb"
signs to hang on the door.

- Now that is your best trick yet.
- Mm...

Oh, excuse me.

I brought y'all
a couple of signs.

- You could pick which ones you want.
- Thank you, Dash.

- I really appreciate that.
- Certainly.

We just, uh,
we're gonna...

- I'll just leave 'em right here, okay?
- Yeah, that would be great.

Anything else I can do
for you lovebirds?

No, no, that's fine.
You just have...

- All right, then. See you later.
- Thank you very much.

Ta-da! I made him disappear.

You know,
I know some magic, too.

Why don't you come here
so I can show you?

Yeah.

Thank you.
