00:03Okay, how are we doing over here?
00:04My fries are a little cold.
00:07You mean the fries I brought you 30 minutes ago?
00:09Well, excuse me for savoring my meal.
00:12No, no, I'm just, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
00:15I'd enjoy it more if my fries weren't cold.
00:19Do you want me to heat those up for you?
00:21You don't use a microwave?
00:22Yeah.
00:23They're gonna get soggy.
00:26Okay, how about a fresh plate of fries?
00:28For free?
00:29No.
00:31Cold is fine.
00:38All right, I got you down for 50 on Medford to cover the spread.
00:42Hey, Connie.
00:46Hey, what you doing?
00:48Oh, nothing, just making a little phone call.
00:52Everything okay?
00:53Yeah, yeah, it's just, you know, I remember to call in a prescription.
00:59Okay, well, uh, do you want to come in and grab some coffee?
01:02We can catch up?
01:03Sure, that would be nice.
01:12Who calls the pay phone?
01:14I got it.
01:16Hello?
01:19Oh, it's my pharmacy.
01:21Could I have a minute?
01:24What's going on?
01:25Nothing.
01:26Seems like something.
01:27No, it's not.
01:35Can I call you back?
01:40Are you selling drugs?
01:41Don't be crazy.
01:42Don't be crazy.
01:42I'm not a drug dealer.
01:44Okay, well, then what?
01:46I'm a bookie.
01:49Oh, Connie, a bookie.
01:51Could you just keep this between you and me?
01:52Don't, don't, don't tell Dale.
01:56Of course.
01:57Yeah, I won't tell anyone.
02:00Hey, Helford.
02:01Good, good.
02:03Your Meemaw's a bookie.
02:33She's a what?
02:34A bookie.
02:35Yeah, I caught her taking bets on the payphone outside the diner.
02:37Why was she doing it there?
02:39I don't know. She doesn't want Dale to know. Can you believe it?
02:42Doing something illegal? Yes.
02:44Keeping it a secret? Yes.
02:46So, yes.
02:48Maybe you should talk to her?
02:49She's a grown woman. She ain't gonna listen to me anyhow.
02:52Well, she might.
02:54Do you listen to me?
02:56That's a good point.
02:59Just do me a favor. Stay out of it.
03:01It ain't none of our business.
03:03Yeah, I understand. I couldn't agree more.
03:06Well, this is nice.
03:08You know, it's been a while since we've had lunch together.
03:10Oh, cut the crap. You're gonna lecture me.
03:13I wouldn't say lecture.
03:15I know. I know. You think taking bets is gonna get me in trouble.
03:18I've already been arrested once, and what am I thinking?
03:21Anything's a lecture when you say it like that.
03:24I've lost my home.
03:26I've lost my business. I've lost everything.
03:29I know.
03:29I have been self-sufficient my whole life.
03:33Now, when I need money, I have to go to the bank of Dale.
03:39And trust me, there are fees.
03:44Okay, I don't need to know that.
03:46I mean, I don't mind him.
03:48He's a good-looking man.
03:50I really don't.
03:50I just don't want to rely on him or anybody else to take care of me.
03:55Yeah, I get that. I really do.
03:59I mean, I hate that Georgie's paying off my credit card bills.
04:02Exactly. It's embarrassing.
04:04It is.
04:05And Georgie's a teenager.
04:07Okay, well, he has a very big birthday coming up.
04:10I appreciate your concern, but I know what I'm doing.
04:14Do you need money? Why don't you just go out and get a real job?
04:16I made 700 bucks yesterday.
04:20What did you make?
04:22Are you hiring?
04:35Hey, are my parents home?
04:37No, they took Sissy to the park.
04:39Oh, great.
04:40You want to get naked?
04:42Uh, maybe. Let's see how this goes.
04:46I talked to your meemaw.
04:48Mandy.
04:49No, no, it's fine.
04:50She's just taking bets on the local high school games.
04:52It's really not that big a deal.
04:54So you feel better?
04:56I do.
04:57Yeah, and I think it's nice she has something of her own.
05:03Great?
05:04Mm-hmm. I'm really glad you think so,
05:05because she asked me to help her with it.
05:07She begged me, really.
05:11You didn't agree, did you?
05:13Mandy.
05:14I'm not handling any money.
05:16I just take bets for Rowendale's home.
05:18That's still illegal.
05:20What are you thinking? You're a mom.
05:21Yeah, and you were a dad when you were in a gambling room with her.
05:25Yeah, and we got busted.
05:27And you walked away scot-free.
05:28I got lucky.
05:30Oh, come on!
05:30I supported your criminal activities.
05:32At least you can do a support mine.
05:35That was different.
05:37Why? Why?
05:39Because you're a man?
05:41No.
05:42Because...
05:44Because...
05:45Because...
05:48Well, that's work.
05:51Thank you for your support.
05:57I just love taking CeCe to the part.
06:01Everyone thinks I'm her mom.
06:04There was one kid, and he was like five years old.
06:07He said it. I heard it.
06:19Is that your pager?
06:21Nope.
06:24Well, Georgie, it must be yours, because you're the only one with a pager.
06:29Oh, yep. That is me.
06:32Someone need a toe.
06:34No. It's just my mom. I'll call her back later.
06:40You know, I think I hear CeCe. I'm going to go check on her.
06:44I didn't hear anything.
06:45Yeah, well, you don't have mommy ears.
06:49Georgie, did you get a new pager?
06:51No. Why?
06:53It used to go...
06:54And that time, it went...
06:58Huh? I'm pretty sure it went...
07:02If you're telling me I don't know the difference between...
07:05and...
07:07We're going to have a problem.
07:14Hi, I got your page.
07:16No, I'm the new girl.
07:19You have a pretty voice, too. You're placing a better what?
07:27Hey, Georgie.
07:28Mr. Ballard, what can I do you for?
07:31I got a problem.
07:32Well, if it's a tire problem, then you are in the right place.
07:35It's about your meemaw.
07:38And her tires?
07:40She's been acting really squirrely lately, like we're running out at all hours.
07:46Well, you know, old people are weird.
07:51Oh, I followed her the other day.
07:53See? That's weird.
07:56She drove to high school and was watching football practice.
08:00Well, maybe she misses my dad.
08:03Plus, she's been really nice to me lately.
08:06Well, maybe you deserve it.
08:09I don't.
08:11I think maybe she's doing the gambling stuff again.
08:14Oh, you don't know that.
08:16She's probably just cheating on you.
08:20Hey, you know something.
08:22You better tell me.
08:23Oh, Mr. Ballard, you know me.
08:25I don't know things.
08:27Georgie.
08:27She's running a sports book.
08:29Oh, dear.
08:30I didn't know it.
08:31What the hell is she thinking?
08:33Well, she likes to do her own thing.
08:35Ain't that what you love about her?
08:36No.
08:38Do you like it about her?
08:40No.
08:42Well, the good news is she ain't cheating on you.
08:49And in local sports, the Medford Wolves put off an upset against the Westbrook Bears, 44-39.
08:55Yes!
08:57Since when do you care about high school football?
08:59Well, because, you know, Texas, go football.
09:09Call us to residence.
09:11Georgie.
09:12Oh, hi, Meemaw.
09:13Why the hell did you go blabbing to Dale?
09:16A moment, please.
09:19My Meemaw.
09:22I'm sorry.
09:23He was very forceful, and I don't do well under interrogation.
09:26Well, thanks to you, we had a huge fight and broke up.
09:29Oh, Meemaw, I'm so sorry.
09:31My own grandson's a dirty snitch.
09:35Yeah?
09:35Well, my Meemaw's a...
09:38a mean-mall.
09:40Hey, did we miss the basketball scores?
09:43Yeah, you care about basketball, too?
09:46Um, everything okay?
09:50Not really.
09:51She and Dale broke up.
09:53That's too bad.
09:54How come?
09:56I'd rather not gossip.
09:58Well, in my experience, it's usually either sex or money.
10:02Of course, given that they're 180 years old, it's money.
10:06And now for local basketball.
10:08Here we go!
10:19Okay, so what's going on?
10:21Dale found out about the sports book.
10:23How?
10:24I don't know.
10:27Georgie.
10:28I told him.
10:29You better not have blown this up for me.
10:31I'm making like 200 bucks a day for answering the phone.
10:34Mandy, I've been down this road.
10:35There's no such thing as easy money.
10:37Huh.
10:39Really?
10:39What do you call this?
10:42Dying?
10:43Yeah.
10:44Why are you keeping them in your bosom?
10:45You got like 12 purses in the closet.
10:50I'm sure glad we got a chance to catch up, Coach.
10:54Me, too.
10:55It was a nice surprise hearing from you.
10:56Well, you and George were close.
10:59Me and George were close.
11:01No reason why you and me can't be close.
11:05I'd like that.
11:06I would, too.
11:08So how's that team of yours looking for Friday night?
11:11Well, the Panthers are tough, but I like our chances.
11:15Good.
11:15Good.
11:17Any injuries?
11:18Anybody not making grades?
11:20Any bad breakups?
11:23I'm sorry.
11:24What are we doing?
11:26We're catching up.
11:27How the heck are you?
11:30I'm okay.
11:31It's been tough without George.
11:34I know it has.
11:37That kicker of yours has been a little off.
11:39What's happening there?
11:42Connie, if you're betting on the game, I can't help you.
11:45I could lose my job.
11:46Oh, I'm not betting on the game.
11:48Good.
11:49I'm just setting the line for the people who are betting on the game.
11:53Connie.
11:53Now, I'm thinking Panthers plus three, but you tell me.
11:58It was good seeing you.
12:00We could still talk about George.
12:01What do you think he'd think their chances are?
12:06Did you get any intel?
12:07No.
12:09He's worried about losing his job.
12:11Big baby.
12:14You doing okay?
12:15Yeah, I'm fine.
12:16Why?
12:17I don't know.
12:17You and Dale?
12:18Oh.
12:19Well, screw him.
12:20I'm not going to let any man tell me what to do with my life.
12:25Okay.
12:25So it's just business as usual.
12:28You bet.
12:28Okay, great.
12:29Quick question.
12:31So with Dale out of the picture, which is sad, am I still employed?
12:40Yes.
12:41As a matter of fact, you need to come with me.
12:43We're making a collection.
12:46Am I your muscle?
12:48My eyes.
12:49I don't drive so good at night.
12:57Oh, hello.
12:58Hi.
13:00Dale.
13:03I know who you are.
13:05We spent Thanksgiving together.
13:07Yeah, right.
13:10And your name is?
13:13Archie.
13:14Really?
13:14Yes.
13:15Huh.
13:17Wasn't even close.
13:20Georgie around?
13:21He's out in the garage with Jim.
13:23I brought by some of his Meemaw stuff.
13:27I thought maybe he could give it back to her.
13:29Did something happen?
13:30We broke up.
13:32I'm sorry to hear that.
13:34It's been a rough couple of days.
13:39Come on in.
13:42You got anything to drink?
13:44Ice tea.
13:46Anything stronger?
13:47Beer?
13:48Keep going.
13:50Whiskey?
13:50We have a winner.
13:54Audrey?
13:58So what, you just, you go up to the guy's house and you knock on the door and you say,
14:01give me my money?
14:03Well, I say hello first.
14:05I'm not an animal.
14:08What if he doesn't have it?
14:10Then I ask him if he wants things to get ugly.
14:13What, do you break his knees?
14:15I tell his wife.
14:18Oh, that's cold.
14:21It's a tough business.
14:26So, where are you living now?
14:28In the motel out by the interstate.
14:30Oh, the Longhorn?
14:32That's where I stayed on prom night.
14:34Classy.
14:36Well, I was only there an hour.
14:39So, is there any chance you and Dale might work things out?
14:43If he comes begging for forgiveness on his hands and knees.
14:48Oh, I want to be you when I grow up.
14:53I gave that woman everything I had.
14:55My house, my bed, most of my bathroom.
15:00You know that woman has a lotion for every one of her body parts?
15:06They do, don't they?
15:08Yeah, Mandy's always gracing up her elbows.
15:12Connie's got great elbows.
15:17Sure, you two will work it out.
15:20Not unless she gives up that damn sports book.
15:22That what?
15:23Sports book.
15:24I'm shocked.
15:26Did you know about this?
15:29No.
15:30Georgie.
15:31I know.
15:36Luther.
15:37Hey, Connie.
15:38Nice to see you.
15:39This is my grandson's wife.
15:41She's helping me out.
15:43Hi.
15:44Hello.
15:47Enough small talk.
15:48Give me my damn money.
15:50Yeah, about that.
15:52I need a little more time.
15:53I understand.
15:55Virginia, are you home?
15:57Wait, wait.
15:58How about I give you my grandpa's Rolex?
16:01Let me see it.
16:05This is so exciting.
16:06I feel bad for him, but this is so exciting.
16:15I cannot believe you are doing this again.
16:18I'm not doing anything.
16:20Does Amanda know about it?
16:22How can I know what she knows?
16:23Georgie?
16:24She knows.
16:26Oh.
16:27What?
16:28Nothing.
16:29I just figured something out.
16:33Oh, hi, everyone.
16:35Hey.
16:37What's the deal with him?
16:39Oh, he had a little too much to drink.
16:41Are we sure he's alive?
16:43He was extremely upset that his girlfriend was running a sports book.
16:47Oh.
16:49Connie?
16:50No.
16:52What's this?
16:53What are you doing?
16:57Mandy, are you involved?
16:58What?
16:59No.
17:00Don't be ridiculous.
17:02What's that on your wrist?
17:05Oh, uh, this.
17:07I can explain.
17:08Please do.
17:11Where's the bathroom?
17:12I gotta pee.
17:13Oh, I'll take you.
17:14Okay.
17:16Thank you, Audrey.
17:42I'll check on you, see if you're doing okay.
17:44That's very thoughtful of you.
17:46I'm fine, thank you.
17:49Yeah, good.
17:50Anything else?
17:53Connie, please come home.
17:57I miss you.
18:00I don't care if you're on a book or if you're on banks or even, uh, if you're a serial
18:06killer.
18:08I love you.
18:11I love you, too.
18:13Does that mean you'll come home?
18:16Gee, I already paid the night.
18:21Oh.
18:23You wanna come and show me how sorry you are?
18:28Really?
18:30Yeah.
18:34Well, I had a big dinner, but I can try.
18:40What'd you eat?
18:41Brisket at the smokehouse.
18:44You're gonna need some Tums.
18:46A lot of them.
18:46Come on.
18:50Come on.
19:13Come on.
19:17You're gonna need some Tums.
19:20You're gonna need some Tums.
19:23You're gonna need some Tums.
19:25You're gonna need some Tums.
19:26You're gonna need some Tums.
19:26You're gonna need some Tums.
19:26You
