Georgie plans to spend his first Thanksgiving since his dad's death with his mom, but when Mary reveals she isn’t celebrating the holiday, Mandy tries to bring Georgie's family to her house.
Quote from Mary Cooper
Mary Cooper: This is a nice surprise.
Georgie: Just wanted to drop off some of CeeCee's old clothes for the donation room.
Mary Cooper: Oh. Are you sure you don't want to hang on to these in case you have another one?
Georgie: Oh, we ain't planning on another one just yet.
Mary Cooper: You weren't planning on the first one, either.
Georgie: Fair point.
Quote from Audrey
Jim: Maybe next year, we can take CeeCee to the Macy's Parade.
Audrey: [gasps] You're not taking my granddaughter to New York City. She'll come back a Democrat.
Mandy: She's a baby.
Audrey: A God-fearing, Republican baby.
Quote from Dale Ballard
Meemaw: So, how's it going? My little great-granddaughter saying "meemaw" yet?
Mandy: No, just "dada." Pisses me off.
Dale Ballard: Uh, enjoy it. My kid doesn't even talk to me anymore.
Meemaw: Why bring it up?
Dale Ballard: It's called making conversation.
Quote from Georgie
Georgie: Ooh, what's this?
Audrey: Well, that's cranberry sauce.
Georgie: Why ain't it shaped like the can?
Audrey: It's homemade.
Georgie: Huh. Maybe next year we should spring for the good stuff.
Quote from Connor
Jim: Why you all dressed up?
Connor: I was told to look nice for company.
Jim: That meant take a shower.
Connor: Oh. Be right back.
Quote from Georgie
Mandy: Want some hand lotion?
Georgie: How many times I got to say no?
Mandy: Men can take care of their skin, too.
Georgie: Yeah, men in California.
Mandy: We have got to get you on a plane one of these days.
Quote from Mandy
Georgie: Mrs. McAllister, I was hoping to talk to you about Thanksgiving.
Audrey: Well, sure.
Georgie: I really think me, Mandy and CeeCee need to spend it at my mom's.
Audrey: This is the first Thanksgiving since your dad passed. Of course you should.
Georgie: Oh. Thank you. That's a relief.
Audrey: Why?
Georgie: Why what?
Audrey: Why would you think that I would be upset that you want to spend Thanksgiving with your grieving mother?
Georgie: Well...
Audrey: What kind of monster do you think I am? [Jim sneaks out of the kitchen]
Georgie: Um...
Jim: [o.s.] Georgie, let's go. We got to get to work.
Georgie: Got to go. Thanks again. [hushed] You saved my butt.
Jim: Keep moving. Keep moving.
Quote from Mary Cooper
Georgie: Fine. Then come have dinner at the McAllisters'.
Mary Cooper: With your mother-in-law? Not for a million dollars.
Georgie: Oh, come on. She's not a monster. [off Mary's look] Come on.
Mary Cooper: No.
Georgie: Fine. I didn't want to do this, but as the man of the house, I'm putting my foot down. You're coming.
Mary Cooper: I have a foot of my own. Would you like to know where I'm gonna put it?
Georgie: No, ma'am.
Mary Cooper: All right, then. [exits]
Georgie: "All right, then."
Quote from Connor
Georgie: She don't want to do Thanksgiving.
Mandy: What do you mean, like she doesn't want to cook?
Georgie: She don't want to do it at all.
Connor: May I interject?
Mandy: What?
Connor: I'm considering getting a cat.
Jim: Connor, not now.
Connor: Let me know when.
Quote from Connor
Mandy: She knows she's welcome here, right?
Georgie: She just wants to sit home by herself.
Mandy: What are you gonna do?
Georgie: I don't know. I hate the thought of her being all alone.
Connor: Now?
Jim: Fine.
Connor: You're never alone if you have a cat.
Quote from Audrey
Jim: Sweet of Georgie to worry so much about his mom.
Audrey: It is. I hope our kids worry about me when I'm a widow.
Jim: What makes you think I'm gonna go first?
Audrey: Jim.
Jim: Fine.
Quote from Jim
Jim: And of course they're gonna worry about you.
Audrey: I'm not so sure. Amanda's likely to stick me in a home first chance she gets.
Jim: On the bright side, Connor will probably be your roommate.
Audrey: Very funny.
Jim: Hope you like cats.
Quote from Mandy
Mandy: It's pecan, his favorite. I was hoping to cheer him up.
Jim: Yeah, he has been a little moody lately. Kind of snapped on a customer.
Mandy: What happened?
Jim: Well, they wished him a happy Thanksgiving, and he said, "Whatever."
Mandy: Ooh, for him, that's bad.
Quote from Jim
Mandy: Well, this is his first Thanksgiving without his dad.
Jim: Sure, that's rough. George was a good man.
Mandy: Sure was.
Jim: You know, I thought we'd be celebrating Thanksgivings together for a long time.
Mandy: Me, too.
Jim: But, uh... [sniffles] guess you never know what the future holds.
Mandy: Makes you appreciate what you do have.
Jim: We're really lucky.
Mandy: [voice shaking] We sure are. Don't you go anywhere.
Jim: Oh, I won't, baby girl. [they hug]
[Ruben walks out from the shop floor, takes one look at Jim and Mandy hugging and turns back]
Mandy: You better not. [sighs] I should go.
Jim: [sniffles] All right. Well, thanks for stopping by.
Mandy: Don't eat Georgie's lunch.
Jim: I am hungry, but I won't.
Quote from Meemaw
Meemaw: What about you? How you doing?
Mandy: I'm all right. I'm a little worried about your grandson.
Meemaw: Oh. Is this about Thanksgiving? [Mandy nods] Well, you just got to give Mary time. When my husband died, I was just miserable those first few holidays.
Dale Ballard: Maybe he died because you're miserable.
Meemaw: It's a big house. Go somewhere else.
Dale Ballard: Good day. [exits]
Quote from Meemaw
Mandy: Um, so here's the thing. Georgie's going through a rough time, and I want to help.
Meemaw: What can I do?
Mandy: Well, it would mean a lot to him if you could be with us for Thanksgiving.
Meemaw: [sighs] Oh, honey, I am so sorry. I promised Dale I'd go camping with him.
Mandy: Oh, that's okay. It's all right.
Meemaw: Just let me talk to Dale. [shouts] We're not going camping!
Dale Ballard: [returns] I was gone 20 seconds. What the hell happened?
Meemaw: We're having Thanksgiving with Georgie.
Dale Ballard: I've been looking forward to this for months.
Meemaw: Oh, I know, honey. I have, too. [to Mandy] What time you want us?
Quote from Missy Cooper
Missy Cooper: [on the phone] But first, I need a little favor.
Mandy: Anything.
Missy Cooper: Take me to get a tattoo.
Mandy: What? No.
Missy Cooper: You said, "Anything."
Mandy: Yeah, and then you said "tattoo."
Missy Cooper: I guess I'm not going.
Mandy: Oh, come on.
Missy Cooper: I can't decide between a dolphin or a sunflower. What do you think?
Mandy: I am not taking you to get a tattoo.
Missy Cooper: All right, well, maybe I'll see you at Christmas.
[cut to Missy and Mandy at a tattoo parlor:]
Missy Cooper: Ow, it hurts.
Mandy: Good.
Quote from Audrey
Mandy: Hey, I hope it's okay I invited Missy, Georgie's meemaw, and her fella Dale to Thanksgiving.
Audrey: Her fella?
Mandy: Her beau? I don't know what to call old people who are doing it.
Audrey: I've seen him. They're not doing it much.
Quote from Audrey
Audrey: It's fine, the more the merrier.
Mandy: Okay. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Audrey: And don't think you're sticking me in a home someday. I'm dying in this house.
Mandy: What?
Audrey: You heard me.
Quote from Mandy
Mandy: So, good news, your family's coming to Thanksgiving.
Georgie: Really? Everyone?
Mandy: Well, Meemaw, Dale and Missy.
Georgie: Oh, still no on my mom?
Mandy: Um, I tried, but...
Georgie: It's okay, this is great. Thank you. How'd you convince my sister?
Mandy: I ju-- I just asked nicely.
Georgie: That don't sound right.
Mandy: Well, what can I say? The kid loves me.
