00:06What are y'all doing?
00:07I'm learning how to knit.
00:09Are you okay? You don't sound so good.
00:11Just allergies.
00:13I always thought knitting was kind of a little old lady thing.
00:17Why would you think that?
00:19Because I've only ever seen little old ladies do it.
00:22Like my Meemaw and mostly my Meemaw.
00:30Good one. Sorry.
00:33Would you like to join us?
00:35Oh, I think Georgie has better things to do.
00:38I'll give it a whirl.
00:40Okay.
00:41Why don't you pick that one up from the basket.
00:44Hold your needles up like this.
00:46Now watch me and Connor.
00:47In through the front door.
00:49Round the back.
00:51Out through the window.
00:52And off jumps Jack.
00:55Okay. Hold on. Slow down.
00:57In through the front door.
01:00Dang.
01:01In through the...
01:03Dang it.
01:04That front door's hard to get through.
01:07Who saw this?
01:08I'm teaching the boys how to knit.
01:10You're kidding.
01:11I got through the front door!
01:12Nice.
01:14They should bring back the draft.
01:17Okay. Great. I'll see you then.
01:21That was Channel 7.
01:22They want me to fill in for the regular weather girl on Friday.
01:25Heaven with the weather?
01:26Mm-hmm.
01:26Well, that's amazing.
01:29You okay?
01:30Allergy.
01:31Heather has to go to her grandma's funeral in El Paso.
01:36Which is obviously sad.
01:38You don't look sad.
01:40Well, I am!
01:42The good news is, if this goes well,
01:44then I could be their go-to emergency backup weather girl.
01:47Hey, all right.
01:48Awesome.
01:49All right, honey.
01:52Why are you knitting?
01:53Your mom's teaching me.
01:55Thought I could make Cece a blanket.
01:57Sweet.
01:57I'm gonna be on TV.
01:59I'm gonna be on TV.
02:00Tim?
02:04That's cool.
02:05Okay.
02:17Good news.
02:32This just feels like it could be the break I need.
02:35You deserve it.
02:37I know it's only temporary, but I mean, who knows what could happen?
02:40Maybe people will like me better and start a letter writing campaign.
02:44I'd do that.
02:46Why call? I'm not much of a letter writer.
02:49Can't wait to quit the diner and tell Earl what I think of him.
02:52I thought you liked Earl.
02:54I do, but what's the point of being famous if you can't tell somebody off?
03:01Are you sure that's allergies?
03:03Yeah.
03:04Okay, well, I'm not.
03:06Oh, come on. I thought we could celebrate. If you catch my drift.
03:11Yeah, I don't want to catch your drift or anything else.
03:16I ain't sick.
03:18Yeah, sorry, snot boy. I can't take my chances.
03:22Where are you going?
03:23I'm sleeping in the baby's room.
03:25Oh, dang.
03:34That don't look like allergies.
03:42Yeah, we'd also recommend replacing the brake pads with rotors.
03:48Great. We'll get right on that.
03:53You okay?
03:54Yeah, just a little cold. No big deal.
03:58Are you sure you can take the day off?
04:00Just because I'm learning how to knit don't mean I'm a wimp.
04:04No one's calling you a wimp. You just sound bad.
04:06I'm fine.
04:08Besides, Cooper men don't take sick days.
04:10My dad once had his appendix out.
04:12He was at work later that afternoon.
04:14Really?
04:15Yeah.
04:16I mean, he passed out in the teacher's lounge, but he passed out at work.
04:20Son, I'm not sure you're taking the right lesson from that story.
04:25Sure I am. Tough it out.
04:27No, I don't think so.
04:29Hey, the Osmo...
04:32Are you kidding me?
04:35Sorry.
04:35I don't forgive you!
04:41So it's sounding like a 100% chance of meatloaf with a possibility of pie in the forecast.
04:48What are you doing?
04:50I'm practicing. I'm doing the weather on Channel 7 this Friday.
04:53Good for you.
04:55Yeah, I'm not really a waitress.
04:56I could have told you that.
05:02Hey, Beth, I need a favor.
05:04Can you cover for me on Friday?
05:05Yeah, I guess. What's up?
05:08I'm doing the weather on Channel 7.
05:10Really?
05:11They just let anybody do that?
05:15Of course not. I'm a trained weather girl. It's my real job.
05:19So what? This is your pretend job?
05:21No, this was just supposed to be temporary.
05:23Good for you?
05:24No, no, no, no. Don't be like that. We can still hang out.
05:28Sure. You're not busy with all your fancy TV friends.
05:31Oh, we are not fancy. We are just plain simple folk like you.
05:37Ooh. Rigid temperatures coming down from the north.
05:43Ha-ha?
05:45No?
05:52Ruben, you seen my son-in-law?
05:54You mean Typhoid Georgie?
05:57No.
05:58Hmm.
06:06Son, you got to go home.
06:08No, no. I'm fine.
06:11Just a little cat nap.
06:13Georgie, listen to me. The cat's dead. Go home.
06:19But I have to work.
06:20No, you have to live. My granddaughter needs a father.
06:25Okay, I'll go.
06:28Don't.
06:35Okay, what do you think?
06:37Beautiful.
06:38Oh, good. I was worried it was out of style.
06:40It is, but still beautiful.
06:43Why did I ask?
06:45Why don't you get something new?
06:47I can't afford it.
06:48I can.
06:50Really?
06:52Really.
06:53A dress of my choosing?
06:55Your choosing, my choosing.
06:57Let's just call it our choosing.
07:00I don't know what to say. Thank you.
07:02You don't have to thank me.
07:04I just hope this turns into a real career for you.
07:07So you can brag to all your friends that I'm on TV instead of waitressing?
07:11I don't tell my friends you're waitressing.
07:15Come on, we can drop this off at the Goodwill on the way.
07:28Hello.
07:29Hey.
07:30You look terrible.
07:33Oh, that little orange juice won't cure.
07:40Please don't put that back in the fridge.
07:43Fine.
07:46Let's see what we're dealing with.
07:49Oh, yeah.
07:50That's a fever.
07:52I'm going to say 102.
07:54You don't know that.
07:56A rectal thermometer would be more precise.
07:59But I don't think you and I are there yet.
08:02Have you taken anything?
08:04No, I just want to get in bed.
08:07At least take some ibuprofen.
08:08Bring your temperature down.
08:10Okay.
08:10We also need to run in the shower, get some steam going, break up the congestion.
08:14And while it's a little outside the medical mainstream, two fingers of Kentucky bourbon to help you sleep.
08:20Your mom teach you all that?
08:22No.
08:22I watched an episode of the Golden Girls where Rose caught a doozy of a cold.
08:27Really messed with Blanche's date that night.
08:30That's a good show.
08:31They're old, but full of life.
08:35You go to bed, Rose.
08:36Sophia's on the case.
08:44What's going on?
08:47Honestly, I'm a little nervous.
08:49It's been a while since I've been on camera.
08:51You'll be fine.
08:52Nothing to worry about.
08:54I hope so.
08:56Amanda, the job is look pretty, smile, and point.
09:00There's a little more to it than that.
09:02Like what?
09:04Well, what you're pointing at is actually behind you, and it's not really there.
09:08It's a special effect called a green screen.
09:10And you can't smile if you're talking about a tornado ripping a trailer park distress.
09:13You look like a psychopath.
09:15All right.
09:16And you have to have easy banter with a sports guy, even though off-camera he's a little handsy.
09:22Sure.
09:23And if it looks easy, the only reason is because people like me make it look easy.
09:27Got it.
09:30Smile and point.
09:31I'm not Vanna White.
09:44Morning, son.
09:46Morning.
09:48Hold on a minute.
09:51What?
09:52Are those chocolate chip pancakes?
09:55Sure are.
09:56Well, all right.
10:11So, how's my granddaughter doing?
10:14Amazing.
10:15Walking, talking.
10:17She tried to eat a pickle the other day.
10:19You should have seen the faces she was making.
10:21You ate a tub of Vaseline once.
10:24Why'd I do that?
10:25Hungry?
10:26Dumb.
10:27Who can say?
10:29Why aren't you at work?
10:31I'm sick.
10:32Well, la-dee-da.
10:34Aren't you the delicate flower?
10:36When I was 19, I didn't take sick days.
10:38Of course, I was in Vietnam.
10:40Really?
10:41You didn't get sick days in the Army?
10:42Nah.
10:42That's for them mama's boys in the Navy.
10:45Did you ever miss a day at work?
10:47Yeah.
10:48I had my first heart attack.
10:49Did you have a heart attack?
10:51No, sir.
10:52Just runny nose, scratch your throat.
10:54Oh.
10:55Serious.
10:56And a fever, 102.
11:00Poor baby.
11:02Should have seen yourself kidding.
11:03I'm going back.
11:05Good man.
11:11What are you doing?
11:13I'm hugging you.
11:15Get to work!
11:23Where are you going?
11:25Work.
11:28Whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:29You're not going anywhere, mister.
11:31Car, get out of my way.
11:33Don't make me get the special thermometer.
11:48Well, I think that's the one.
11:51Really?
11:51You look amazing.
11:53But it's your decision.
11:55Oh, you're right.
11:56I do look amazing.
12:00It's going to go great.
12:01Yeah, I think so, too.
12:03So are you feeling more confident about all this?
12:06Yeah.
12:07Yeah, I can do this.
12:09You know, I bet it goes so well that they ask me to fill in again next week.
12:13And then they'll probably recommend me to the affiliate in Houston, and then they'll offer me the job, and I'll
12:18have to tell Georgie we need to move, and he's not going to want to, and it's going to be
12:21a huge fight, and I don't want to move Cece away from her grandparents, but this is my dream job!
12:28Look at the bright side.
12:30Maybe you'll stink.
12:35How's that?
12:37Feels good.
12:39I guess I was a little out of it before.
12:41A little bit.
12:45I had a dream about my dad.
12:47Oh.
12:48Was that nice?
12:50Not really.
12:52He was disappointed in me.
12:55Why?
12:56I think because I went home sick.
12:59So?
13:01He was in the Army.
13:02He was a football coach.
13:04Ever since I was a little kid, he's always taught me to play through the pain.
13:08Rope some dirt on it.
13:09Walk it off.
13:10What's the dirt do?
13:12Stop the bleeding.
13:13I don't know.
13:15Would you make Cece go to school if she was sick?
13:18Of course not.
13:20But she's a little girl.
13:21I'm a grown man.
13:22People depend on me.
13:24And if you don't show up, you're letting them down?
13:28Obviously.
13:29How old was your father when he passed?
13:31What's your point?
13:33Maybe if he'd taken better care of himself, he'd still be here.
13:38You don't know what you're talking about.
13:40Okay.
13:42I'm serious.
13:43Okay.
13:44Okay.
13:45Okay.
13:49Thanks again for the new outfit.
13:51You're welcome.
13:52And for the Cinnabon.
13:53It really helped.
13:54It was for both of us, but it's fine.
13:57Oh, hello.
13:58Hey.
13:59What are you doing?
14:00Taking care of Georgie.
14:02Georgie's here?
14:03Yes.
14:03He's very sick.
14:04Oh, my God.
14:06Oh, wait.
14:07Here's some Vicks.
14:08He would not let me rub it on his chest.
14:13You taking care of him?
14:14Trying to.
14:15He is not an easy patient.
14:17Did you threaten him with the thermometer?
14:20I had to.
14:22Always worked with you.
14:27Yeah.
14:28It's still a little warm.
14:30You shouldn't be in here.
14:31I don't want to get you sick.
14:33Oh, I'll be fine.
14:34No.
14:35You need to stay healthy for your weather thing.
14:38Right.
14:39My weather thing.
14:42Listen, if this doesn't go well, will you be disappointed in me?
14:45Of course not.
14:47But I could never be disappointed in you.
14:55And if it does go well, will you move to Houston with me?
15:01Houston?
15:02Never mind.
15:02Here.
15:03Rub this on your chest.
15:06Houston?
15:15I can't sleep.
15:20I said I can't sleep.
15:29Jim!
15:30Huh?
15:33I can't sleep.
15:36Well, thanks for you.
15:37I'm awake.
15:40I'm nervous about Mandy.
15:42Oh, she's going to be great.
15:44That's the problem.
15:45What if this leads to something bigger?
15:47What if she gets a job offer in Houston or Dallas?
15:50What if they move and take Cece?
15:52I can't lose my granddaughter, Jim.
15:54Well, nothing's happened yet.
15:57I know.
15:59But if they're moving, we're moving.
16:02Wait, what about the store?
16:04Oh, you'll figure it out.
16:05Good night.
16:16Good morning.
16:18Yeah.
16:18Good morning.
16:21Something wrong?
16:23Yeah.
16:24I'm worried if I work myself into the ground, I won't be around for my daughter.
16:30I get that.
16:32Because I want to be there when she has kids.
16:34Well, hopefully it's a lot later than when you had kids.
16:37From your mouth to God's ears.
16:42I did a good job raising you.
16:44You did.
16:46It wasn't easy, because you were a pain in the ass.
16:49I thought we were having a moment.
16:52We are, son.
16:59Thank you, Kimberly.
17:00I've got your weekend weather report.
17:02Let's get right into it.
17:04Look, Cece, there's Mama.
17:07Well, I like what she's wearing.
17:08You're welcome.
17:11But there's a cold weather front moving in from Nacogdoches, so expect some precipitation tomorrow.
17:17Nacogdoches and precipitation.
17:19Tough combo.
17:21You know that map isn't really there.
17:24It's just green.
17:27Overnight into the morning, we'll be seeing some wind gusts, which should clear out those clouds.
17:31Dang.
17:32She's really good.
17:35I'm Mandy McAllister.
17:37Heather will be back with the weather on Monday, unless she needs a few extra days with her family,
17:41which would be very understandable, given the tragedy that's befallen her.
17:48Now back to Chip with Sports.
18:03I'll see you next time.
18:03I'll see you next time.
18:03I'll see you next time.
18:03I'll see you next time.
18:04I'll see you next time.
18:05I'll see you next time.
18:06I'll see you next time.
18:07I'll see you next time.
18:07I'll see you next time.
18:08I'll see you next time.
18:08I'll see you next time.
18:09I'll see you next time.
18:09I'll see you next time.
18:10I'll see you next time.
18:10I'll see you next time.
18:14I'll see you next time.
18:15I'll see you next time.
18:17I'll see you next time.
18:19You
