00:30They bet against us making it a year.
00:32You think there's still a pool?
00:34Yeah, but you're defying the odds with this just because bouquet.
00:39Yeah, and that smile right there is my reason.
00:42You know, these almost make up for you leaving without my morning kiss.
00:46Well, I actually did give you a kiss, but Sleeping Beauty didn't wake up.
00:50Well, there's nothing like being back in our bed, babe.
00:53And knowing that that guy who mugged you will be doing his sleeping behind bars.
00:57Oh, I'm just glad the cops got to him before Joey's guys did.
01:02I don't want any violence done in my name.
01:06You know, I don't even want to think about what Joey's idea of payback is either.
01:10Yeah, it might have been worth it for just a few minutes alone with that guy in his cell, though.
01:15That's not justice.
01:16That's revenge.
01:18What, are you worried about my soul?
01:20And your law license?
01:22You could get disbarred, babe.
01:23Come on.
01:24Look at you.
01:26Bullying for me.
01:27You know it's supposed to be the other way around.
01:29Anyone who lays a hand on my hubby will have to come through me.
01:37Then get him out and bring him here.
01:39And keep him away from the reporters.
01:42I'll be asking our new friend the questions.
02:13I'll be asking our new friends.
02:31I didn't know it was possible to run past beautiful and go all the way to goddess.
02:35You have to say that.
02:37No, I don't.
02:38But I tell no lies.
02:40Samantha's busy absorbing compliments, and I miss you.
02:45There's a remedy for that.
02:47Yeah?
02:48Come here.
02:49I'm at Uptown.
02:51Now?
02:52After I meet with this client.
02:56It's a date.
02:59They're all so beautiful.
03:01How are we going to pick?
03:03You have to stop.
03:05Samantha's better with every shoot.
03:07But we have to square away this question so we can answer a bigger one.
03:12Who's the lucky guy that gets to be your cotillion escort?
03:17Is it time for me to break out my auntie network?
03:19Mm-mm.
03:21It's being handled right this second.
03:24So glad you could come down.
03:25Anytime, Mom.
03:27Usually you're the one who's keeping me away because you want me to study.
03:30And socialize.
03:31I'm hanging out with my boys.
03:34You sure everything's okay?
03:36This isn't that kind of visit.
03:39No running mascara.
03:41No evidence of me devolving into a puddle of any kind.
03:43But if that changes, I'm here.
03:45There's one tiny thing you could do for your mom.
03:52So, Mrs. McBride is going to ask her son to be my escort, and she's doing it, like, right now.
03:58A Banneker man?
04:00Who is this boy?
04:03And how old is he?
04:05He's Donnell McBride.
04:08His mom is besties with grandma.
04:10He's super cute.
04:12He has manners.
04:14And I'm sure he probably already has a tux.
04:16And he'll fit the moment.
04:18A tux doesn't make a man.
04:19What do your dads say?
04:21Our families have been tight forever.
04:23We can all vouch for Donnell.
04:25Especially Mom.
04:27Hmm.
04:27Okay, well, Nicole would know.
04:29She's kind for a head-shricker.
04:32Going with a guy who's a few years older isn't a big deal, because it's not like a date date.
04:37He's just there to make Samantha look good.
04:39Okay, she's going to be dressed like Cinderella, dancing with a dude that's dressed like James Bond.
04:45If it quacks like a date, then-
04:47Think of Donnell as a ringer.
04:50He's done this before, so he won't be stumbling.
04:52And with the bell clairs on our heels, we need every advantage.
04:57With Donnell on your arm, you'll be the envy of every girl there.
05:01Donnell must have better hangs than at a bedfall.
05:05And I'm sure he's probably wondering why I couldn't get an escort of my own.
05:11Little Pigtails and Braces is debuting?
05:13And you want me to escort her?
05:15Pigtails and Braces is all glown up.
05:18She's a teen ambassador for Chelsea Cat.
05:20And her service project's something special.
05:24You could sell Girl Scout cookies to Girl Scouts, but Nicole already got to me.
05:29Nicole called you?
05:31No.
05:33I was thinking about the eulogy she gave her dad.
05:35Oh, baby.
05:37Her and Danny's stories gave him back to me for a few minutes.
05:40Nicole doesn't need you to pay her back for that.
05:42No, I want to.
05:43And besides, I know how awkward Deb's season can be, and if I can save another kid from that-
05:48And I do love the idea of giving Samantha some light.
05:51She's had a year.
05:53Don't let her Instagram feed fool you.
05:55She got reunited with her mom.
05:57Her dad's briefly broke up.
05:59Her cousin got kidnapped, and now she-
06:02Now what?
06:05I just want her to have some happy to make up for the sad.
06:09And I'm the one?
06:10If I'm last minute, doesn't that put Samantha's toast at risk?
06:13I mean, we don't exactly waltz at my college parties.
06:16Take it from an ancient Deb.
06:18The steps will come right back to you.
06:19While you're waltzing through open houses.
06:22Do you remember when your dad and I went to that Venetian ball?
06:26The steps were there when I needed them.
06:28That'll be true for you, too.
06:31But more importantly, I had a partner who laughed all the way through it when I started leading.
06:39Dad had the best laugh.
06:41He did.
06:43When you were complaining about learning those steps, I predicted you'd use them again.
06:48The time has come.
06:49Well, technically this will make it several times, and it's the exact same ball.
06:54Oh, what was that?
06:56You're right.
06:57As always.
06:58You're so full of it.
06:59See?
07:00Right again.
07:03You sure you don't want to take them with us to lunch at the club so we can really make
07:06those old bitties talk?
07:07I'd rather make you lunch in our home.
07:10I got that cheese and prosciutto we had in Italy.
07:14You mean the mascarpone?
07:16Mm-hmm.
07:16Hayley, what are you trying to do, kill me?
07:18I'm letting you cheat so you don't sneak during your elimination diet.
07:23You deserve a tiny reward for taking care of me.
07:27Okay.
07:28Well, I do like rewards.
07:32It's been a year, and I'm still not used to it.
07:36Being married?
07:38I never knew being loved meant someone would stand up for me.
07:42Honey, I've never had this before you.
07:47That's part why I love you so much.
07:51And I love you.
07:53I was this close to a panic attack last night when we pulled into the garage.
07:59I knew that guy wasn't coming back again, but my heart didn't.
08:04It was pounding in my ears.
08:07Yeah, he's put away, but what he did does linger.
08:12I keep what if-ing.
08:14What if that guy had a gun instead of his fist?
08:18What if Lynette hadn't been there?
08:21What if I just snapped on him?
08:24What if, instead of our anniversary, you are planning my funeral right now?
08:30Oh, yeah, yeah.
08:32Oh.
08:38Taste the memories of Italy.
08:40You know, all that's left is to seal it with the sweetest part of our honeymoon.
08:48Don't get me started.
08:51Babe, you need to get your cute self back to the office.
08:55Well, you know, I thought I'd just work here.
08:58Yeah, I'm fine.
09:00The locks are new.
09:01The security system's been updated.
09:03Mm-hmm, and your heart's still racing.
09:06Hayley, I'm going to stay by your side for as long as it takes for you to feel what you
09:09are.
09:10Safe.
09:11Aw.
09:12So, flowers every afternoon, all the months this guy's locked up?
09:17Try years.
09:18Probably 15.
09:2015 years?
09:21Mm-hmm.
09:21Assault during a robbery bumps into a felony.
09:24But with good behavior and overcrowding.
09:28Man, I already flexed with the prosecutor, and she's recommending the max.
09:35And if I can't face him in court...
09:38You know, facing him in court is going to make you feel freer.
09:42I'll let her press him to plead out.
09:44That way, I won't have to see him again.
09:46Oh, even without you testifying, the assistant U.S. attorney has what she needs.
09:51You know, two positive IDs and your property on this person.
09:54But I'm just...
09:55Hey, you don't want this happening to anyone else, right?
09:58Of course not.
10:00Okay, then now it won't.
10:02Wesley Hammer should have never used his fists on you.
10:04And now, he won't see the light of day for a long, long time.
10:14You know who I am?
10:18Joey Armstrong.
10:19That's right.
10:21I know who you are, Mr. Hammer.
10:24Your story intrigues me.
10:26Me too.
10:27Because I didn't assault anyone.
10:29And my court-appointed lawyer said that...
10:32You're here instead of a jail cell because I called in a favor to a judge and got you released
10:37early pending trial.
10:39Yeah, but why?
10:41You know, another way to play that is...
10:43Thank you.
10:44I woke up yesterday in cuffs and I've been a free phone ever since.
10:48Because you're right at the center of a mystery and I need your help to solve it.
10:56I've been seeing the commercials about your grandmother's TV interview.
11:00Please tell her and your grandfather that they are in my prayers.
11:04I will.
11:05Thanks, Jane.
11:06Great-grand is determined to get the word out.
11:09And now that she's talking, she won't stop until everyone and their mother get mammograms.
11:15Did you hear that?
11:18Exactly how old do you think I am?
11:20This one has been on me now that I have health insurance.
11:24Well, it can't hurt to get checked out by a doctor.
11:27Most women start getting mammograms at 40.
11:31But if you have other risk factors, the age could drop.
11:36See?
11:37I like how invested the both of you are in me being here for a long time.
11:42Now be sure to ask my doctor at my next appointment.
11:45Thank you.
11:50It's Mrs. McBride.
11:55Donnell said...
12:01Pigtails is ecstatic.
12:03What should I say back?
12:05I know the dead ball is from another time, but you don't have to pass messages.
12:09Just send me your number.
12:13Done.
12:14Connect away.
12:17This is making me nostalgic.
12:20Dress shopping with Deanna.
12:22Tuck shopping with you.
12:24Those dance practices in our living room with the four of us.
12:29That look on your dad's face when he watched this little girl crossing that floor.
12:35Mom.
12:36None of us had any idea that that ball in graduation would be some of the last moments we got
12:41to celebrate together.
12:42He wouldn't be here to see you in that tux again.
12:44Maybe he can.
12:47Maybe wherever he is, he can see us and is proud of how well we're surviving.
12:52Thriving.
12:55I didn't mean to take us there.
12:58We're already there.
13:01It's baked in now.
13:04And it stings less.
13:06Yeah, which makes you feel guilty and then it stings all over again.
13:11Mom, Deanna's out of her sweats and into her sorority colors again.
13:15She's chairing the party committee.
13:17That's great.
13:19When I talk to her, it's all fine.
13:22It's not you.
13:24Deanna's just around her girls all the time and they're a level up.
13:29In what way?
13:30They signed her up for this dating service.
13:34Oh, well that's tame.
13:35Hinge, bumble.
13:37No.
13:37Oh, the one for celebrities?
13:39No, more local.
13:42Starts with an H, I think.
13:44Heart something.
13:46Not Heart Attached.
13:48Yeah, that.
13:49Have you heard of it?
13:54Does Deanna know she's being set up?
13:56She walked in on them picking out a guy for her and she was all in.
14:00She thinks it's hilarious.
14:02Really?
14:03Mom, you don't even know how these apps work.
14:06I mean, you went from dad to someone older than dad.
14:09I don't think you know what Heart Attached really does.
14:13And you do?
14:15The ladies on the Cherry Blossom Committee talk.
14:18Your sister's not Heart Attached's target market.
14:22They specialize in a higher demo.
14:25Don't be so scandalized.
14:27Women of a certain age have needs.
14:29Okay, good for them, but TMI.
14:31How would a Banneker sorority even know about it?
14:34The same way you do.
14:36I doubt that.
14:39Maybe one of their moms uses it.
14:42Anyways, these guys are like models or something, and the girls pick the guys.
14:47Honey, you need to use your twin powers and tell her she needs to call it off.
14:53I hate that I told you.
14:55She's going on a date.
14:56She's not altering her lifestyle.
14:58Donnell.
15:00You can't break the twin trust.
15:02Really?
15:03You're bringing out the twin trust?
15:05No, just like you and me have a trust.
15:07And there's things I didn't tell Deanna about you and Joey.
15:09Who says there's a me and Joey?
15:12Well, you practically did.
15:14How's that going?
15:18We...
15:19I...
15:20Not asking for a declaration.
15:24All I care about is you're making jokes and you're mommy hard.
15:29Joey's been great with the healing process.
15:33And I know that might not be easy for you to hear.
15:37I brought him up.
15:40I never wanted you to bury yourself with Dad.
15:42And he wouldn't want that either.
15:45He loved that you were like sunshine.
15:48He'd want you to have that back.
15:50Me too.
15:53You're really okay with me moving on?
15:56Truth.
15:57I got around to liking Joey.
16:01But I've heard there's another side to him.
16:03There's lots of sides to all of us.
16:06You don't know him the way I do.
16:08So tell me.
16:11Well, um...
16:12You know that free clinic I told you Samantha's involved in?
16:16Joey's made a sizable donation.
16:19Okay.
16:21And...
16:22The clinic's being dedicated in honor of Dr. Doug McFry.
16:26That's incredible.
16:29Good work on keeping Dad's name alive.
16:32Joey helped make that possible.
16:37There's more to him than any rumor.
16:41Yeah.
16:41Yeah.
16:42And Caroline will call you about the deposition.
16:44Okay?
16:44Yeah.
16:45Talk soon.
16:46I've been thinking...
16:48Dessert.
17:16Dessert?
17:17He doesn't have the same clout as you.
17:20I bet you could get her case dropped altogether with just a couple phone calls.
17:27Yeah, I love your unadulterated confidence in me.
17:29Lynette saved my life.
17:31We owe her.
17:32And we agreed to take her case pro bono and we put her in a very nice hotel.
17:36But, Bill, listen, she's done so.
17:38Listen, Elon, hey, man.
17:42Listen, great job with that perp.
17:45I...
17:47What?
17:50Well, how the hell did he get released?
18:00Another.
18:01That's 80-year-old Scotch.
18:05I'll sip the next one.
18:07Now, story time first.
18:09I need you to fill in some blanks.
18:12Did you stash that ring in the park or just ditch it altogether?
18:17I didn't touch that ring or that woman.
18:20Doesn't really explain her wallet in your pocket.
18:23I was asleep on that bench.
18:25Sick kids play pranks on us all the time.
18:28You see, that would be a lot easier to believe from a man by any other name.
18:35Sledgehammer.
18:37It was a joke.
18:38My last name's Hammer.
18:40But everyone knows I'm no tough guy.
18:43I don't push, so I didn't push when the sledge thing stuck.
18:47Maybe I should have.
18:48I just, I thought it was funny, and if anything might protect me, but to come back to bite me
18:54like this, I'm not capable of hitting a woman.
18:58Everyone's capable of anything.
19:00People think just because a man doesn't have an address, he has no morals.
19:06You know a woman named June?
19:12Can I ask you something?
19:16You took to this Dupree life like a fish to water.
19:20You belong.
19:49Because of my dad's.
19:51That's been around for a hundred years and will probably be around for at least a hundred more.
19:55Those girls that I'm twirling around with will be in each other's lives long after the gloves come off.
20:02Kat, Naomi, and Grandma.
20:05They have friends from their deaf classes that they help each other with, from everything from charities to their careers.
20:12Sisters before misters.
20:14Well, if they're all good girls like Naomi and Kat, you go ahead and pull up those gloves.
20:22Not every girl is like them, though.
20:25Some of them say that I'm not really a Dupree, and I shouldn't be allowed to play any debutante games.
20:30Hmm.
20:31Doesn't matter how high up you go, baby.
20:34It's ignorant folks everywhere.
20:36And anybody that says that's just...
20:39Jelly.
20:43Well, Jelly just walked in.
20:48Hiya.
20:50Shouldn't you be working at the office, Mr. Junior Partner?
20:55Getting in that face time?
20:57Sometimes the best course of action is out of sight, out of mind.
21:00One of the senior partners thinks you're already gunning?
21:04Think higher.
21:06Not Bill.
21:08His wife.
21:12Lately it feels like Haley's actively undermining me.
21:15I could be off base, but I am staying out of the line of fire.
21:19Well, I'm not defending her, but what about post-traumatic mugging disorder?
21:27I'd be a bitch to the world if anyone even booped my nose.
21:31You do have a perfect little nose.
21:34But that's not it.
21:36Haley was off before the mugging.
21:40Well, I've been told this once or twice.
21:44Maybe it's not about you.
21:46Maybe Haley and Bill are reaching their expiration date.
21:50I was joking, but I'm on to something.
21:55I wouldn't want to speculate.
21:58Well, I love to speculate.
22:01Come on.
22:03Spill the tea.
22:06Did they give him an ankle monitor?
22:08No, no, no.
22:09Barely any strings.
22:11Substance abuse counseling and weekly check-ins.
22:13Wait, so he's just out there free?
22:16Yeah.
22:18Look, as long as he stays away from you, okay?
22:20That's the last condition.
22:21Who's going to stop him?
22:23He knows where we live.
22:24I put him in that cell.
22:26He put himself in that cell when he touched you.
22:29Listen, hey, I promise I'm going to protect you.
22:33If someone wants to hurt you, they'll just keep coming.
22:39Yeah.
22:40This man's going to wish he stayed in jail after I'm done with him.
22:48You know what, June?
22:51Only thing she pours better than her coffee is the truth.
22:57She's convinced that your arrest was a mistake.
23:00She stood up for me.
23:03I don't judge a man by his address.
23:05I judge him by his friends and his story.
23:09I'm inclined to believe you,
23:11but when Mrs. Hamilton gets up on the stand
23:15and starts batting her tear-soaked eyelashes,
23:18it's going to be her name and address that counts.
23:22I don't know why she and the other woman accused me.
23:26Do I have a twin out there or something?
23:30I'm just cooked.
23:32Unless Wesley leaves the hammer behind
23:35and gets the hell out of town.
23:38As far as he can get.
23:42You have friends or family somewhere
23:44that the police can't trace?
23:47I have sister in Boulder.
23:50But the judge wants weekly check-ins.
23:52At least you have a warrant.
23:54Well, then you have a week to get gone.
23:57You take the bus,
23:58you stay clean,
24:00and you let me deal with the loose ends.
24:05But if I see you in D.C. again,
24:07I can't help you.
24:14Go.
24:16Unless you don't like this ending.
24:19No, uh,
24:20just,
24:21thank you.
24:27Sorry.
24:34New friend?
24:36Barely know him.
24:38Oh,
24:39did Don and Al say yes?
24:41Samantha's thrilled.
24:49You're up to something.
24:51You've got that glimmer.
24:53Oh,
24:54now you know my every look.
24:55Oh,
24:57I know every inch of you.
24:59Every inch?
25:02Well,
25:03then you better show me your work.
25:14Hayley Hamilton,
25:15before the incident in question,
25:17convinced her husband
25:18to take a Lynette Wise's case pro bono.
25:21Then,
25:21she volunteered
25:22to hand deliver documents
25:24to Lynette
25:25here at Uptown,
25:26when she hasn't even made
25:27a single coffee run
25:29since she became a missus.
25:31Well,
25:32maybe Hayley's aiming to trade up.
25:35But,
25:35your female client is,
25:38female,
25:38and obviously not rich.
25:40Or connected.
25:41She was charged with embezzlement.
25:44And Bill's not shutting down
25:45Hayley's fraternization?
25:47He basically told me
25:49to shut up and lawyer.
25:51Well,
25:52maybe this is a sign
25:53for you to start looking
25:54at other firms.
25:56I'm playing the long game.
25:57I'm not gonna let
25:59Hayley derail anything.
26:01Well,
26:02I'll forever be rooting
26:03for you to jump
26:04that toxic ship.
26:06But,
26:07it's your call.
26:08Thank you.
26:11In the meantime,
26:13spend your energy
26:15where your every move
26:17will be appreciated
26:19and rewarded.
26:21Oh, yeah?
26:22And where's that?
26:27Donnell is trying hard
26:29to be okay with us.
26:30He's giving you credit
26:31for my sunshine.
26:32Well,
26:33I'll take credit
26:34where it's due.
26:35Why the pressing need
26:37for a cocktail?
26:38Deanna's going on
26:39her first date
26:40in a long while.
26:42And that's caused
26:43to drink?
26:44It's not real.
26:45Her sorority sisters
26:47are setting her up
26:47using a dating service.
26:51And?
26:52They used
26:53Heart Attach.
26:55I think it's
26:55some kind of joke.
26:57Joke's on me.
26:58Like mother,
26:59like daughter, right?
27:00Take a breath.
27:02Your child
27:03is testing the waters
27:04like all kids
27:06their age.
27:08Well,
27:08you don't think
27:09she's going to avail
27:09herself of the
27:10entire menu
27:12that Heart Attach offers?
27:13Do you know
27:14how I felt
27:15sitting there
27:15while my son
27:16told me about Deanna?
27:18Do you think
27:19Donnell knows
27:20about the full menu?
27:21He seemed oblivious,
27:23but I think
27:23Deanna and her friends
27:24know.
27:25The men we hire
27:27never do anything
27:27the women don't want.
27:30She's of age.
27:32Oh,
27:32and she's
27:32her mother's daughter?
27:35The escort's Diego.
27:37Does that
27:37change your math?
27:38So switch them out.
27:40Well,
27:40there must be
27:41one or two
27:41you haven't sampled.
27:43This is my baby.
27:45How can you be
27:46finding humor here?
27:47All right.
27:48Fair enough.
27:50But
27:50you do
27:51see the hypocrisy,
27:53don't you?
27:55Do as I say
27:56not whom I've done.
27:58Hey, Jude.
28:00I called an order
28:01for apple rib eye pie.
28:03Yeah.
28:03I'll box that up
28:05and get you
28:05gone in a flash.
28:07Thanks.
28:09Hi, Chessie.
28:11Uh-uh.
28:11Only glam-ma
28:12calls me that.
28:13Well,
28:14my mother's name
28:15is June.
28:16Not June.
28:17Whatever.
28:19How's the search
28:20going?
28:21For someone
28:22desperate enough
28:23to be your escort?
28:24Oh,
28:24I saw this movie,
28:25Can't Buy Me Love,
28:26where this guy
28:27pays the most popular
28:28girl in school
28:28to date him
28:29so he could be
28:29popular as well.
28:30Maybe I could do
28:31that for you.
28:32Can't Buy Me Class.
28:33Get it?
28:35You're doing that thing
28:36where you're hoping
28:37to bond
28:37over not having
28:38a date?
28:39Well,
28:40we're just gonna
28:41have to find
28:41something else
28:42in common.
28:43Mutual loathing,
28:45love of look loss.
28:47But,
28:48Hank,
28:48don't feel bad
28:49about not having
28:50a date.
28:50I mean,
28:52you are fresh
28:52from boarding school.
28:54Okay,
28:54I could set you up
28:55with one of the guys
28:56I turned down
28:56from my many,
28:57many asks.
28:59I mean,
29:00it'd be a long shot,
29:01but I do it.
29:02Deb's fear it
29:03and all.
29:04I can feel the love.
29:05Yeah.
29:07So,
29:08who's the lucky guy
29:09who gets to have
29:10you on his arm?
29:12Nathan Matthew.
29:16Bad,
29:17bad boy?
29:18Oh,
29:18my God,
29:18you two dated
29:19for a nanosecond.
29:20I just hope
29:21you can handle him
29:21being in the same room
29:22without being too
29:24shook.
29:26My girl is not
29:27the one with the problem.
29:30Nathan and I
29:30weren't a match
29:31because he has
29:32zero respect
29:33for women.
29:34But hey,
29:35maybe that's your thing.
29:36My mother wouldn't
29:38let him get away
29:38with that.
29:39Even in your
29:40Dupree makeover,
29:41I can see the resemblance
29:42now on every level.
29:45No home training.
29:48But I guess
29:49you can't have
29:49any home training
29:51without a home.
29:53No wonder
29:54you can't find a date.
29:55Samantha.
29:56I'm sorry I'm late.
29:58Oh,
29:58Donnell.
30:00No worries.
30:01I want you to
30:02meet my mom,
30:02June.
30:03I've heard
30:04so much about you.
30:05Like what?
30:06All good things.
30:07I am so happy
30:09that you are
30:09the one taking
30:10my baby
30:11to the bar.
30:12Please,
30:13I'm the lucky one.
30:14Wait,
30:14you're taking her?
30:16Oh.
30:17Hey,
30:18Francesca.
30:19I thought you were
30:20in Paris.
30:20Switzerland.
30:22My bad.
30:23I need to steal
30:24some Samantha time
30:25before I head off
30:25back to Banneker.
30:26Mm-hmm.
30:36Too much?
30:38You couldn't be
30:39more perfect.
30:41I mean,
30:42that was perfect.
30:49Deanna,
30:50doll.
30:52I was thinking
30:53it would be
30:54wonderful
30:55to have my
30:55twin stars
30:56for dinner.
30:59No,
31:00I wouldn't dream
31:00of interrupting
31:01your plans,
31:02but one of my
31:04clients gave me
31:05tickets to that
31:06sold-out musical
31:06at the Hippodrome
31:07and I knew
31:07you wouldn't
31:08want to miss it.
31:10Yes.
31:13Oh,
31:14I can't wait
31:14to see you,
31:15sweetie.
31:17Love you,
31:17too.
31:21Mission accomplished.
31:22More like
31:23crisis delayed.
31:24Now I just need
31:24to scrounge up
31:25tickets.
31:27Is this where
31:28you call me
31:29a hypocrite again?
31:30You know,
31:31one of these days
31:31you're going to
31:32have to trust
31:32Deanna to make
31:33her own mistakes.
31:35Mother needs
31:36to make sure
31:36they're not
31:37the same as hers.
31:39And this is
31:40where I admire
31:41you for taking
31:42care of your own.
31:43and getting
31:44what you want
31:45like you always
31:46do.
31:47Lucky for you
31:49since you're
31:50what I want
31:50most.
31:53So you've
31:53known Francesca
31:54since she was
31:55bouncing on
31:55a glam
31:56on Anastasia's
31:57neck?
31:58Brats and Spurs.
32:00You sure you
32:01want to wade
32:01into Mean Girl
32:02Soup again?
32:02Sure.
32:03Now that I got
32:03this Deb thing
32:04figured out,
32:05took me a minute.
32:07And what did
32:07you learn?
32:09That it can
32:10be kind of fun.
32:11Although I was
32:12hella nervous
32:13the first time.
32:14You?
32:15Why?
32:17Everyone's
32:17staring,
32:18the tux collar
32:19being so tight
32:20and I was sure
32:21I was going to
32:22spill something
32:22on my date's
32:23dress or
32:23tumble us
32:24down the
32:24staircase.
32:25And did
32:25anything bad
32:26happen?
32:27No spills
32:28or tumbles.
32:29It's kind of
32:30cool actually.
32:33Maybe you can
32:34help me when
32:35I get nervous.
32:36Just hold
32:37on to my arm
32:38and look for
32:39your dads.
32:41I saw my
32:42parents sitting
32:42there and
32:43smiling at me
32:44and it was
32:45good.
32:46I realized that
32:47for all these
32:49fancy trappings
32:50it was another
32:51thing they showed
32:52up for.
32:52Like lacrosse
32:54or when I had
32:55my basketball
32:55games.
32:57I played a lot
32:58of sports.
33:01They were always
33:02there.
33:02I'm so
33:03sorry.
33:05And look,
33:06as crazy
33:07grateful that
33:08I am that
33:08you wiped

33:12don't want
33:12you to do
33:13this if it
