The Unicorn (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - In Memory Of... - full transcript
Maddie's school plans a mural in her honor and Wade agonizes of his speech to memorialize her.
Go, go, go...
oh, what?!
God. Come on, ref!
How is that a charge?!
He kind of ran
into the guy.
- What? He didn't call it on
Corrigan two minutes ago.- Exactly.
So the ref's supposed
to make a bad call
to make up
for the other bad call?
- Yes!
- Yes!
Why do we watch games
with him?
Because he has
nowhere else to go.
Wade, we've got some news.
Girls!
What are you Feltons doing
next Friday?
- Why, what's going on?
- Okay, Natalie?
We know how much your mother
loved your school and how much
the school loved her.
And this year would've been
the tenth anniversary
of her teaching there.
So we thought
it'd be nice to find a way
to honor her.
And next Friday,
they're gonna unveil
a mural in her honor.
Oh, my God, that's amazing.
That-that is so nice.
I, I don't even know
what to say. Thank you.
Well, I do hope you think
of something 'cause
it would be so meaningful
for you speak at the ceremony.
Oh, boy. Really?
Yes.
It's not a big deal.
They just want you
to say a few words.
Yeah, just like five to ten
minutes of words.
In front of the whole school?
Oh, now watch him choke!
Sorry, no, I'm talking
about the game.
You're gonna be great, Wade.

Episode Title: "In Memory Of…"
Aired on: February 25, 2021
Come on in!
All right, Addie.
You got this, right?
You got this. Just give
Michelle your pitch.
What's the worst
she can say but no?
You think she'll say no? No way.
I mean, she might,
it's Michelle.
But you, you just, you just
focus on those cool kids
in the orchestra who
need oboes, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, okay.
Go get 'em. And she's off.
Addie's selling
chocolates this year?
Yeah, she's pretty excited.
You know the winner
gets to be principal
- for a day.
- Yeah.
And she's got some bold ideas
about lengthening
the school day.
Well, I'm sorry to break
it to you, pal,
but she will not win.
You see, Noah's in
the contest this year.
And I don't mean to
brag, but the boy is a natural.
He could sell gravy
to a turkey.
Maybe, maybe.
And as Friedrich
Nietzsche said,
"Without music, life
would be a mistake."
Or as Plato put it,
"Musical innovation
is full of danger
to the state..."
Okay, stop. I have
a five-quote limit.
But I'll buy some.
Baby, you can't buy
from the competition.
Ben, the money goes
to support the school.
Yeah. Now, I have to warn you
these chocolates are
made in a facility
that also makes
bug repellant.
You don't... Oh, I didn't know that.
And I wish I still didn't,
but, uh, I'll buy three.
You probably only want one.
They're very sweet.
Okay, then, just one.
Yeah, see, that's what integrity
looks like right there.
- Hmm.
- Hey, Dad?
I need another box.
I only made it
halfway down the block.
And you see
that right there?
That's what school principal
for a day looks like.
Hey, girls.
Hey, Dad. Hi. Hey, uh...
you know I have to give
the speech at the school.
And I was wondering,
what-what kind of things
do other people say
at your assemblies?
Well, they tell us
not to do drugs.
And to practice safe sex.
Well, that's not helpful.
I-I mean, don't do drugs
and-and have safe sex, like,
many, many, many
years from now, but, guys,
what do you think I should say
- about Mom?
- Just...
talk about something fun.
Like, maybe talk about that time
our camping trip got rained out?
So we set up tents
in the garage all weekend.
Or that time
that she tried to make us
those matching Halloween
costumes for the school parade.
The princess dresses?
No, no, no, that one was,
like, two years later.
I mean the spider ones.
Remember, she was up
all night making them?
And they were still terrible.
I'd never heard her
use so many bad words.
And then,
remember Michelle asked
if I was an octopus?
Yeah, yeah, I thought
your mom was gonna kill her.
I'm just gonna go
finish this in my room.
What? Natalie, come on, you must
have some stories to tell.
I don't feel like it.
Whoa, that's a lot of chocolate.
And that's
his second load.
I do a volume business.
All right, get out of here. Go
have a good day, Mr. Principal.
I like the sound of that.
I bet you do.
This kid. Hey, so they
let you see the mural?
No, no, no, no,
it's still covered up.
I just wish I knew
what to say in my speech.
I mean, how do you fit
20 years into ten minutes?
Aw, don't overthink it, Wade.
You say whatever's
in your heart.
People will love it.
Nobody will ever understand
your pain.
The devastation that,
that you
and your-your children feel.
But knowing that-that
you all feel it, too,
you know, that we're,
we're all just
feeling our way through
the darkness together...
Are y'all okay?
No.
Not really.
And you plan to deliver
this speech
to children?
I mean, y-yes,
I was, I was going to.
Is your goal to make them weep?
Weeping children?
Is that what you're going for?
Well, no, no. Obviously not.
Then I would avoid phrases
like "unbearable sadness."
Yeah, and "haunted by
her eyes," I mean...
Well, what...? What do I do?
Well, you can start by handing
me that box of tissues,
you monster.
Look.
This is, this is
really tough for me.
You know?
I mean, you're going about
your life, and-and you think
that you're,
you're doing okay.
And I, I mean, I am, you know?
I'm-I'm doing okay.
Then something
like this comes up and...
and you have to think
about what Jill meant to me.
It just...
it feels like I just lost her.
Just stop it!
Stop it! Oh, come on,
this is a widows' group.
Guys, come on.
Good evening, ladies.
Would any of you like
some chocolate?
- Oh, God, yeah!
- Please!
Bring in candy, yes!
I'll take
give me all those, yes.
How many you got?
I have cash.
So, my speech still needs work.
But Noah? Those widows didn't
stand a chance.
Oh.
How's Addie doing? Good.
Fine, couple setbacks.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
She tried selling
to the debate club.
But they're very difficult
to convince.
Hey, don't beat
yourself up, Forrest.
Of course Noah's good at this.
Sales are a huge part of my job.
So it's just in his blood.
Well, for your information,
selling isn't
just about confidence
and slick talk.
Yeah, it is.
Oh, oh, okay, okay, how's this
for slick talk, then?
How's this?
Addie is gonna mop the floor
with the chocolate
that she sells that Noah...
can't even touch...
the mop of.
All right, so let me
help you out with that.
You needed to get
right to the point.
Hey, Delia,
Michelle? Hi. Oh, hey.
I-I've, I've been thinking
about the speech on Friday.
And I'm, I'm just really having
a hard time.
Well, I mean, there's so much
you want to say, right?
But, hey, listen,
you don't have to thank me.
Okay? Thank Michelle.
Because she's the one
who raised all the money, so...
Oh, come on, Delia,
it was your idea.
You had the,
what do you call it?
It's the vision.
The vision. Yeah, if he
thanks anyone in his speech,
it should be you.
No, you.
You.
It should be you.
Uh, okay,
I'll just, uh,
I'll just thank both of you.
Oh, that is... That's so sweet.
...so sweet.
I'm telling you guys,
this speech is going to kill me.
Where'd you get
that chocolate?
Where do you think?
Damn it.
Oh, look
at my little entrepreneur,
setting up
a chocolate stand.
I think people miss
the brick and mortar experience.
You do know, right,
that you're like 30 feet
back from the sidewalk. I don't want
to be pushy.
Let the customers come
to you, right?
Well, I'm not sure
that's something people say,
but, uh, uh, hey,
it's a strategy.
I already sold three. Oh, great.
Then I'm gonna shut up
and get out of your hair.
She's sold three.
Yeah, to me, and
I'm stress-eating all of them.
Why?
Because she's really bad at it.
What's wrong?
A car slowed down.
I'm not ready for this!
I need one of those bars.
Okay,
guys, so, chocolate...
You love it, I got it.
- Selling it for my daughter.
- Nice.
Your daughter makes
her own chocolates? That's dope.
No, she doesn't,
she doesn't make it.
Do people make
their own chocolate?
Sure.
DIY craft chocolate's booming.
Who makes those? Oh, uh,
a division
of Teledex Industries.
No, I didn't think so.
Dalton, hey-hey, my man.
How would you like
to support
a middle school orchestra
by buying some chocolate?
Yes,
it's made
by a big corporation,
but they're big because
they make the best chocolate.
Is it cruelty-free?
It's chocolate, man.
I'm good.
Oh, thank you
for letting us get
a sneak peek,
Mrs. Burbage.
Oh.
Well, after all you two did
to make this possible,
how could I say no?
Jill was such a special person.
Yeah, she really was.
We all miss her so much.
Dennis, would you drop
the tarp for a minute?
Aah!
Ah. Aha.
Well, what do you think?
There's just...
There's just no words.
"Wow," maybe?
Oh, yes, wow, uh-huh.
They let that woman teach
our children art?
Five dollars each,
three for $12.
Three for ten.
Three for eight.
Three for five
and I buy you lunch.
I'll take six.
Really?
- Great, wow.
- Yeah, I'll take some.
Yo, I'll get in on that.
You know it.
I'm in.Okay. All right, everybody.
But-but just a sandwich
or a salad, right?
Let's get the deal points clear.
You know? No dessert.
Okay, Dad,
what's up?
What do you mean? Here you go.
Burgers and milkshakes
on a school night?
Well, I thought one of us
could use a little cheering up.
Dad, it's okay.
I'm fine.
No.
No, look, I get it.
This whole thing with the mural,
it's gonna bring stuff up.
It's fine.
I think we're all
feeling the same thing.
Yeah. And it's hard
when something makes
all of these memories
come flooding back.
But memories don't
always have to be sad.
Right, Grace?
Right.
I mean, we have
so many good memories with Mom.
I just try and think of those.
Like, do you remember
that one time
that we went to the state fair
and we loaded up
on cotton candy?
And then we went on the
Scrambler and threw it all up,
but she still bought us
more cotton candy anyway.
Do you remember that? Or, or how
'bout the time
when-when it rained
really hard,
so she tossed a handful
of coins out the windowOh, my gosh.
And convinced
you girls
it had been
raining pennies?
And we believed her.
We totally believed her.
Or like
when we used
to come here for
burgers and milkshakes
when one of us needed
a little pick-me-up.
No, Dad, stop.
You know, you don't get it.
I'm not sad because
of the things I remember.
I'm sad because
I'm forgetting stuff.
I forgot
about the cotton candy.
And I forgot
about that spider costume.
I thought
I went as an octopus. It's okay, Natalie.
It was
a long time ago.
It's not okay.
You know, the other day, I tried
to picture Mom on the mural,
but I couldn't even remember
what color her eyes were.
What if I'm forgetting Mom?
Natalie, you're
not forgetting...
No. I'm not hungry.
It can't be that bad. No, it's bad.
It is sobad.
And it's big.
It is really,
reallybig.
It is "you can see it
from space" big.Yeah.
And tell 'em
the worst part.
What that woman
did to Jill.
Oh. Mm.Made her look
like a monster!
You know, this was
supposed to be so special
for Wade and
the girls, and now
it just... it's just gonna
give 'em nightmares.
Honey, you can't beat yourself
up. - He's right.
Yeah? Yeah, you can't
keep blaming yourself
just because it was
your vision.
Okay.
See, my vision would
have never happened
if you hadn't raised all
that stupid, stupid money!
Well, money's
just money. It's your baby.
I don't want the baby.
You take the baby.
Baby's hideous.
Ladies,
ladies, come on.
I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
Oh, what makes you think
it's gonna be fine?
I don't know. Maybe because
the ceremony's tomorrow
and there's nothing
anyone can do? Yeah.
Chocolate?
Hey.
Why are you lying
on the floor?
Because this is where
the dogs are.
Makes sense.
See if these old bones
will make it down.
You're being too hard
on yourself.
No, I'm not.
Look, we all forget things.
And...
we try so hard
to remember them
that we psych
ourselves out.
Like the way I'm always calling
your friend Clara "Chloe."
Her name is Cleo. Really?
Cleo?
Cleo.
Cleo.
Well...
still proves my point.
It's not the same.
It's just so much of what you
and Grace talk about just...
I don't know,
it just feels hazy.
That's just because you were so
little for a lot of that stuff.
It's not fair.
You got a whole
life with Mom.
Even Grace got two
more years than I did.
Just feel like I've
been ripped off.
Yeah.
That's because you were.
Hey.
I'm sorry, honey.
One of you needs a bath.
It's me.
Hey, uh, why is Noah
wearing a tie?
Well, you dress for
the job you want.
He's pretty sure he's gonna
be principal for the day.
He sold 18.
I hate
to disappoint you, pal,
but you may have
grossly underestimated Addie.
She sold 30.
Wow.
30?
Yeah. That leaves Noah
in the dust.
Good for Addie.
Wait, you're not upset?
No!
No, Noah's gonna be
bummed, but this is great.
I know Addie wasn't
necessarily born for sales,
so for her to get out
of her comfort zone
and grind it out like that, psh,
man, you must
be so proud.
Wow. That's what
it's all about, right?
Yeah.
Hey, Wade.
Hey. How's Natalie doing?
Uh, she's okay.
This is really hard
for her.
But, hey,
finished my speech.
Oh. Right.
Speech.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I was up all night.
But don't worry.
I thanked both of you.
Oh, you really
didn't have to do that.
Yeah. In fact, maybe
don't even do the speech,
like, at all.Mm-hmm.
Come on. I mean,
it's the least I can do
after you did such
a beautiful thing for Jill.
Well, about
that beautiful thing...
It's hideous.
What, the mural? Mm.
Oh, come on.
I mean, how bad could it be?
It's a nightmare.
Legitimately.Mm.
We're so sorry. We wanted
this to be so special, Wade.
And... Poor Natalie!
She has to see it every day.
Well, it's too late
to run for it.
- Oh.
- Thank you.
Might as well get this
over with.
Mm-hmm.
Forget about
the speech.
It's, like...
You know, less is more.
A lot less. Just maybe a
few words and cheese it.
Okay? Okay.
Dear Ashvale family,
we gather today to celebrate
a teacher we all really loved.
Through the generosity
of the parents,
especially Michelle Taylor
and Delia
Klein-McCallum...
Come on, everybody.
Wave to them.
There they are.
Don't be shy.
Come on.
Oh.
We are able to dedicate
this permanent
work of art to the memory
of Jill Felton.
So...
please welcome
her daughters,
Grace and Natalie,
and, to say
a few words,
her husband Wade.
Um...
Thank you, Mrs. Burbage,
and to all the faculty here.
Um...
How do you sum up
a person like Jill?
Okay.Um...
In a word...
Amazing.
Uh...
Thank you.
Th-That's it. Come on.
That's it.
Uh,
thank you for those...
inspiring words.
And now,
without further ado...
Oh.
It's so bad. Wow, it's really,
really bad.
Wow.
Oh, wow.
How is it worse
the second time?
Well, it's hard to
prepare yourself.
Oh, my God.
This is awesome!
It's what?
Oh, my God. That is
Terry the T-Rex!
What?
What? Don't you remember?
She made him up
on the field trip
to the Natural Science Museum.
Um, I guess.
On the bus. Remember?
Um, he talked like this.
"I'm Terry,
and I'm terrifying." Right?
You're totally right.
That's Terry.
How could
I forget?
Yeah. And, look,
that's The Phantom Tollbooth.
You know, that was
her favorite book to teach.
She used to read it to me
when I couldn't sleep.
You know what,
you're right.
This mural is amazing in a way
that I didn't see but you did.
So, why don't you get up there
and say something?
Why aren't people booing?
Did I do good?
Um...
Look, there's the robot.
Do you guys remember
when my mom used to do the robot
at the end of every dance?
You know,
she'd go, like...
Oh. Like, oh...
Get it! Oh!
Even though
we begged her not to.
Do you see the
raven? She would always put
that stuffed raven on
her shoulder when she would read
the book The Raven
and then she'd do the voice.
"Nevermore! Nevermore!"
Such a nerd.
Hey, Ben, I got a confession
to make to you. I feel awful.
What is it?
I sold...
the chocolates.
All of it.
To people at my office.
Wow, Forrest, that's
pretty messed up, man.
- I know. I...
- What can I say?
You got under my skin, man. Me?
Yes. What?
Yeah, it's gonna be
a very hollow victory
for Addie, that's for sure.
Aw, man.Yeah.
Dad! I won!
I won!
I get to be the principal
for the day!
Congrats, son.
Wait, how-how did this
happen? It's okay, Dad.
Noah made me his
vice principal.
Get me a soda.
On it, sir! Wait,
but-but how did
he beat her?
I sold 30 bars.
30 bars?
Yeah.
Noah sold 18 boxes.
18 boxes!
Oh, man,
that's so much more.
Than 30 bars! Yeah! Yeah.
Yeah. You thought...
You thought 30 bars
was gonna stop my son?
See, this is the stuff. You forgot that?
My boy smoked your monkey ass!
Okay, okay.
This is the kind of stuff
that gets under my skin,
like I was talking about.
And it was you!
You sold the chocolates!
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

oh, what?!
God. Come on, ref!
How is that a charge?!
He kind of ran
into the guy.
- What? He didn't call it on
Corrigan two minutes ago.- Exactly.
So the ref's supposed
to make a bad call
to make up
for the other bad call?
- Yes!
- Yes!
Why do we watch games
with him?
Because he has
nowhere else to go.
Wade, we've got some news.
Girls!
What are you Feltons doing
next Friday?
- Why, what's going on?
- Okay, Natalie?
We know how much your mother
loved your school and how much
the school loved her.
And this year would've been
the tenth anniversary
of her teaching there.
So we thought
it'd be nice to find a way
to honor her.
And next Friday,
they're gonna unveil
a mural in her honor.
Oh, my God, that's amazing.
That-that is so nice.
I, I don't even know
what to say. Thank you.
Well, I do hope you think
of something 'cause
it would be so meaningful
for you speak at the ceremony.
Oh, boy. Really?
Yes.
It's not a big deal.
They just want you
to say a few words.
Yeah, just like five to ten
minutes of words.
In front of the whole school?
Oh, now watch him choke!
Sorry, no, I'm talking
about the game.
You're gonna be great, Wade.

and you have to think
about what Jill meant to me.
It just...
it feels like I just lost her.
Just stop it!
Stop it! Oh, come on,
this is a widows' group.
Guys, come on.
Good evening, ladies.
Would any of you like
some chocolate?
- Oh, God, yeah!
- Please!
Bring in candy, yes!
I'll take
give me all those, yes.
How many you got?
I have cash.
So, my speech still needs work.
But Noah? Those widows didn't
stand a chance.
Oh.
How's Addie doing? Good.
Fine, couple setbacks.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
She tried selling
to the debate club.
But they're very difficult
to convince.
Hey, don't beat
yourself up, Forrest.
Of course Noah's good at this.
Sales are a huge part of my job.
So it's just in his blood.
Well, for your information,
selling isn't
just about confidence
and slick talk.
Yeah, it is.
Oh, oh, okay, okay, how's this
for slick talk, then?
How's this?
Addie is gonna mop the floor
with the chocolate
that she sells that Noah...
can't even touch...
the mop of.
All right, so let me
help you out with that.
You needed to get
right to the point.
Hey, Delia,
Michelle? Hi. Oh, hey.
I-I've, I've been thinking
about the speech on Friday.
And I'm, I'm just really having
a hard time.
Well, I mean, there's so much
you want to say, right?
But, hey, listen,
you don't have to thank me.
Okay? Thank Michelle.
Because she's the one
who raised all the money, so...
Oh, come on, Delia,
it was your idea.
You had the,
what do you call it?
It's the vision.
The vision. Yeah, if he
thanks anyone in his speech,
it should be you.
No, you.
You.
It should be you.
Uh, okay,
I'll just, uh,
I'll just thank both of you.
Oh, that is... That's so sweet.
...so sweet.
I'm telling you guys,
this speech is going to kill me.
Where'd you get
that chocolate?
Where do you think?
Damn it.
Oh, look
at my little entrepreneur,
setting up
a chocolate stand.
I think people miss
the brick and mortar experience.
You do know, right,
that you're like 30 feet
back from the sidewalk. I don't want
to be pushy.
Let the customers come
to you, right?
Well, I'm not sure
that's something people say,
but, uh, uh, hey,
it's a strategy.
I already sold three. Oh, great.
Then I'm gonna shut up
and get out of your hair.
She's sold three.
Yeah, to me, and
I'm stress-eating all of them.
Why?
Because she's really bad at it.
What's wrong?
A car slowed down.
I'm not ready for this!
I need one of those bars.
Okay,
guys, so, chocolate...
You love it, I got it.
- Selling it for my daughter.
- Nice.
Your daughter makes
her own chocolates? That's dope.
No, she doesn't,
she doesn't make it.
Do people make
their own chocolate?
Sure.
DIY craft chocolate's booming.
Who makes those? Oh, uh,
a division
of Teledex Industries.
No, I didn't think so.
Dalton, hey-hey, my man.
How would you like
to support
a middle school orchestra
by buying some chocolate?
Yes,
it's made
by a big corporation,
but they're big because
they make the best chocolate.
Is it cruelty-free?
It's chocolate, man.
I'm good.
Oh, thank you
for letting us get
a sneak peek,
Mrs. Burbage.
Oh.
Well, after all you two did
to make this possible,
how could I say no?
Jill was such a special person.
Yeah, she really was.
We all miss her so much.
Dennis, would you drop
the tarp for a minute?
Aah!
Ah. Aha.
Well, what do you think?
There's just...
There's just no words.
"Wow," maybe?
Oh, yes, wow, uh-huh.
They let that woman teach
our children art?
Five dollars each,
three for $12.
Three for ten.
Three for eight.
Three for five
and I buy you lunch.
I'll take six.
Really?
- Great, wow.
- Yeah, I'll take some.
Yo, I'll get in on that.
You know it.
I'm in.Okay. All right, everybody.
But-but just a sandwich
or a salad, right?
Let's get the deal points clear.
You know? No dessert.
Okay, Dad,
what's up?
What do you mean? Here you go.
Burgers and milkshakes
on a school night?
Well, I thought one of us
could use a little cheering up.
Dad, it's okay.
I'm fine.
No.
No, look, I get it.
This whole thing with the mural,
it's gonna bring stuff up.
It's fine.
I think we're all
feeling the same thing.
Yeah. And it's hard
when something makes
all of these memories
come flooding back.
But memories don't
always have to be sad.
Right, Grace?
Right.
I mean, we have
so many good memories with Mom.
I just try and think of those.
Like, do you remember
that one time
that we went to the state fair
and we loaded up
on cotton candy?
And then we went on the
Scrambler and threw it all up,
but she still bought us
more cotton candy anyway.
Do you remember that? Or, or how
'bout the time
when-when it rained
really hard,
so she tossed a handful
of coins out the windowOh, my gosh.
And convinced
you girls
it had been
raining pennies?
And we believed her.
We totally believed her.
Or like
when we used
to come here for
burgers and milkshakes
when one of us needed
a little pick-me-up.
No, Dad, stop.
You know, you don't get it.
I'm not sad because
of the things I remember.
I'm sad because
I'm forgetting stuff.
I forgot
about the cotton candy.
And I forgot
about that spider costume.
I thought
I went as an octopus. It's okay, Natalie.
It was
a long time ago.
It's not okay.
You know, the other day, I tried
to picture Mom on the mural,
but I couldn't even remember
what color her eyes were.
What if I'm forgetting Mom?
Natalie, you're
not forgetting...
No. I'm not hungry.
It can't be that bad. No, it's bad.
It is sobad.
And it's big.
It is really,
reallybig.
It is "you can see it
from space" big.Yeah.
And tell 'em
the worst part.
What that woman
did to Jill.
Oh. Mm.Made her look
like a monster!
You know, this was
supposed to be so special
for Wade and
the girls, and now
it just... it's just gonna
give 'em nightmares.
Honey, you can't beat yourself
up. - He's right.
Yeah? Yeah, you can't
keep blaming yourself
just because it was
your vision.
Okay.
See, my vision would
have never happened
if you hadn't raised all
that stupid, stupid money!
Well, money's
just money. It's your baby.
I don't want the baby.
You take the baby.
Baby's hideous.
Ladies,
ladies, come on.
I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
Oh, what makes you think
it's gonna be fine?
I don't know. Maybe because
the ceremony's tomorrow
and there's nothing
anyone can do? Yeah.
Chocolate?
Hey.
Why are you lying
on the floor?
Because this is where
the dogs are.
Makes sense.
See if these old bones
will make it down.
You're being too hard
on yourself.
No, I'm not.
Look, we all forget things.
And...
we try so hard
to remember them
that we psych
ourselves out.
Like the way I'm always calling
your friend Clara "Chloe."
Her name is Cleo. Really?
Cleo?
Cleo.
Cleo.
Well...
still proves my point.
It's not the same.
It's just so much of what you
and Grace talk about just...
I don't know,
it just feels hazy.
That's just because you were so
little for a lot of that stuff.
It's not fair.
You got a whole
life with Mom.
Even Grace got two
more years than I did.
Just feel like I've
been ripped off.
Yeah.
That's because you were.
Hey.
I'm sorry, honey.
One of you needs a bath.
It's me.
Hey, uh, why is Noah
wearing a tie?
Well, you dress for
the job you want.
He's pretty sure he's gonna
be principal for the day.
He sold 18.
I hate
to disappoint you, pal,
but you may have
grossly underestimated Addie.
She sold 30.
Wow.
30?
Yeah. That leaves Noah
in the dust.
Good for Addie.
Wait, you're not upset?
No!
No, Noah's gonna be
bummed, but this is great.
I know Addie wasn't
necessarily born for sales,
so for her to get out
of her comfort zone
and grind it out like that, psh,
man, you must
be so proud.
Wow. That's what
it's all about, right?
Yeah.
Hey, Wade.
Hey. How's Natalie doing?
Uh, she's okay.
This is really hard
for her.
But, hey,
finished my speech.
Oh. Right.
Speech.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I was up all night.
But don't worry.
I thanked both of you.
Oh, you really
didn't have to do that.
Yeah. In fact, maybe
don't even do the speech,
like, at all.Mm-hmm.
Come on. I mean,
it's the least I can do
after you did such
a beautiful thing for Jill.
Well, about
that beautiful thing...
It's hideous.
What, the mural? Mm.
Oh, come on.
I mean, how bad could it be?
It's a nightmare.
Legitimately.Mm.
We're so sorry. We wanted
this to be so special, Wade.
And... Poor Natalie!
She has to see it every day.
Well, it's too late
to run for it.
- Oh.
- Thank you.
Might as well get this
over with.
Mm-hmm.
Forget about
the speech.
It's, like...
You know, less is more.
A lot less. Just maybe a
few words and cheese it.
Okay? Okay.
Dear Ashvale family,
we gather today to celebrate
a teacher we all really loved.
Through the generosity
of the parents,
especially Michelle Taylor
and Delia
Klein-McCallum...
Come on, everybody.
Wave to them.
There they are.
Don't be shy.
Come on.
Oh.
We are able to dedicate
this permanent
work of art to the memory
of Jill Felton.
So...
please welcome
her daughters,
Grace and Natalie,
and, to say
a few words,
her husband Wade.
Um...
Thank you, Mrs. Burbage,
and to all the faculty here.
Um...
How do you sum up
a person like Jill?
Okay.Um...
In a word...
Amazing.
Uh...
Thank you.
Th-That's it. Come on.
That's it.
Uh,
thank you for those...
inspiring words.
And now,
without further ado...
Oh.
It's so bad. Wow, it's really,
really bad.
Wow.
Oh, wow.
How is it worse
the second time?
Well, it's hard to
prepare yourself.
Oh, my God.
This is awesome!
It's what?
Oh, my God. That is
Terry the T-Rex!
What?
What? Don't you remember?
She made him up
on the field trip
to the Natural Science Museum.
Um, I guess.
On the bus. Remember?
Um, he talked like this.
"I'm Terry,
and I'm terrifying." Right?
You're totally right.
That's Terry.
How could
I forget?
Yeah. And, look,
that's The Phantom Tollbooth.
You know, that was
her favorite book to teach.
She used to read it to me
when I couldn't sleep.
You know what,
you're right.
This mural is amazing in a way
that I didn't see but you did.
So, why don't you get up there
and say something?
Why aren't people booing?
Did I do good?
Um...
Look, there's the robot.
Do you guys remember
when my mom used to do the robot
at the end of every dance?
You know,
she'd go, like...
Oh. Like, oh...
Get it! Oh!
Even though
we begged her not to.
Do you see the
raven? She would always put
that stuffed raven on
her shoulder when she would read
the book The Raven
and then she'd do the voice.
"Nevermore! Nevermore!"
Such a nerd.
Hey, Ben, I got a confession
to make to you. I feel awful.
What is it?
I sold...
the chocolates.
All of it.
To people at my office.
Wow, Forrest, that's
pretty messed up, man.
- I know. I...
- What can I say?
You got under my skin, man. Me?
Yes. What?
Yeah, it's gonna be
a very hollow victory
for Addie, that's for sure.
Aw, man.Yeah.
Dad! I won!
I won!
I get to be the principal
for the day!
Congrats, son.
Wait, how-how did this
happen? It's okay, Dad.
Noah made me his
vice principal.
Get me a soda.
On it, sir! Wait,
but-but how did
he beat her?
I sold 30 bars.
30 bars?
Yeah.
Noah sold 18 boxes.
18 boxes!
Oh, man,
that's so much more.
Than 30 bars! Yeah! Yeah.
Yeah. You thought...
You thought 30 bars
was gonna stop my son?
See, this is the stuff. You forgot that?
My boy smoked your monkey ass!
Okay, okay.
This is the kind of stuff
that gets under my skin,
like I was talking about.
And it was you!
You sold the chocolates!
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
