ABIGAIL ALLISON BEN BETH BRANDON CASSIE DALE DEREK EVE GEORGE GRACE JOHN JOSEPHINE LARRY LINDA MARTHA MEGHAN NARRATOR NICK RYAN SAM SARAH STEPHANIE TARA

NARRATOR
Previously on "Good Witch".
RYAN
Grey House. It's got quite the history.
Wait till you meet the owner.
GRACE
Oh, we've got new neighbours.
CASSIE
A doctor and his son.
GRACE
He's in my class.
NICK
I haven't seen your dad around.
GRACE
My dad passed away.
CASSIE
Looking for something?
STEPHANIE
Commitment.
SAM
My ex-wife. She's coming to
Middleton.
LINDA
I'm hoping that my reservation is
still good.
CASSIE
Abigail.
ABIGAIL
Hi cousin.
CASSIE
I have this feeling that you're
here just to stir things up.
SAM
I'm here if you need me.
CASSIE
I know that.
SAM
You need some help? I can go
change clothes.
CASSIE
Thanks, I actually enjoy doing yard
work. It's relaxing.
SAM
Gotta be honest, I've never liked
yard work, even when I was a kid.
And living in New York, it just
consisted of sweeping the leaves
off my balcony onto the balcony
below. I got it.
CASSIE
Thanks. Well, since I was a kid,
this is exactly what I wanted.
SAM
To rake leaves?
CASSIE
Yeah. This is the first home I've
had.
SAM
Really?
CASSIE
Yeah, my parents died, I went into
foster care - lots of temporary
homes. I always wanted a big house
like this, but with a big
house comes--
SAM
Big leaves?
CASSIE
Exactly. You know, Nick could help
with the yard.
SAM
He takes after me.
CASSIE
Doesn't like yard work?
SAM
Like father, like son.
CASSIE
You could wait for the first big
snow and...
SAM
Voila... no more leaves.
CASSIE
Sam, um...
SAM
Yeah.
CASSIE
At the festival, you said we needed
to talk.
SAM
Okay, um, I want to talk to you about that
night at your store.
CASSIE
After the party.
SAM
I wanted to kiss you, and I felt
like maybe you wanted to kiss me
too. I need to know if I'm
imagining this thing that seems to
be between us.
CASSIE
You're not. But things are
complicated for you now. For both
of us. Hey Linda
LINDA
Sam. Cassie. Nick is asking for
you, he's inside with me.
SAM
His term paper.
LINDA
Yes. No one knows more about early
American History than Sam.
CASSIE
I'm not surprised.
SAM
Later?
LINDA
I'm sorry, did I interrupt
something.
CASSIE
Just talking.
LINDA
You are a chatty one, aren't you?
You know, it's funny because, Sam
usually hates that.
CASSIE
He seems to enjoy our
conversations.
LARRY
Wow. This is even nicer than on the
website.
BETH
I told you. I've got a good feeling
about this place.
CASSIE
Beth, Larry? Welcome to Grey House.
We've been expecting you.
BETH
Your home is beautiful.
CASSIE
For the next few days, it's your
home too. We love hosting weddings
here at Grey House.
BETH
This is our version of eloping.
LARRY
Just a small group of friends are
coming.
CASSIE
Well, your dress arrived yesterday.
So if you need any last minute
alterations, we have a wonderful
seamstress in town.
LARRY
It's such a beautiful dress.
CASSIE
You've seen it?
LARRY
I helped pick it out.
BETH
We do everything together.
LARRY
Since we met.
CASSIE
Well, here you go.
LARRY
Oh. What's this?
CASSIE
There was a mix-up with your room
and the date we had you booked in.
We're full, and the only rooms I
have left are singles.
LARRY
Ah... I don't know about this...
we're the sort of couple who does
everything together.
CASSIE
Don't worry, I promise, in this
case, distance won't make things
worse, it'll make things better.
George can help you to your room.
LARRY
That's okay. We'll find them.
BETH
Yeah We want to take a look around
anyway.
GEORGE
They seem like a happy couple.
CASSIE
It certainly seems that way.
EVE
...So after I adopted Scooter from
the shelter I signed up for this
free training class. I've never had
a dog.
ALLISON
Did you learn anything?
EVE
Yes, apparently I love my dog too
much.
ALLISON
How can you do that?
EVE
He said I'm doing everything wrong.
The dog thinks he's in charge.
ALLISON
He said that?
EVE
He did. Yeah. Oh, they'll call
back.
SAM
Here. Just call me tomorrow if
you're not breathing better.
ALLISON
Thanks, Dr. Radford. Bye Eve.
EVE
Bye sweetie! See you soon. She
invited me to join her book club.
MARTHA
I need your services. Immediately.
SAM
Have a seat Martha, I'll squeeze
you in.
MARTHA
Squeeze me? You don't "squeeze in"
the elected Mayor of this town who
is experiencing a dire medical
emergency.
EVE
Dr. Radford's office.
MARTHA
I'll be in exam room 2 -- it has
better art.
EVE
Oh, I had chicken pox when I was
seven... are you itchy?... Even
your eyeballs... Okay, let's get
you an appointment.
ABIGAIL
You looking for help?
CASSIE
In a way, yeah.
ABIGAIL
Well, you know who has a great
employee? Stephanie. Have you
noticed that the Bistro's business
has doubled since I started?
CASSIE
Yeah, everyone does love to eat
there.
ABIGAIL
But they love it more since I
started working there. I've clearly
built her business up and made it
thrive.
CASSIE
That's one way to look at it, but
it's not the only way to look at
it.
ABIGAIL
I have a lot of regulars. People
who would eat somewhere else if I
wasn't there.
CASSIE
Yes, you do have a loyal following.
ABIGAIL
They are loyal. If I left, they'd
leave too.
CASSIE
Why would you leave? I thought you
liked working there and you and
Stephanie are getting closer.
ABIGAIL
She couldn't run the place without
my help. I deserve more for all I'm
bringing to her business. I'm ready
for the next step.
CASSIE
So you want to be your own boss.
ABIGAIL
Or like a partner... yeah...
Stephanie should make me a partner
in the Bistro.
CASSIE
You could start by asking her to
give you more responsibility.
ABIGAIL
Why would I do that?
CASSIE
Because asking her to be partner is
a very big step.
ABIGAIL
Not if she doesn't want to lose
half her business.
BEN
Go on. Guess.
STEPHANIE
Are you taking me to a movie?
BEN
I don't like movies.
STEPHANIE
Who doesn't like movies? Did you
get reservations to Suki? If you
did, you're a magician. That place
has been booked solid for weeks.
BEN
Suki?
STEPHANIE
Yeah, that new seafood place in
Blairsville.
BEN
Oh no, I don't like fish.
STEPHANIE
Okay. Are you taking me to Chicago?
BEN
Not unless you want to meet my
parents. I'm kidding, it's our
second date.
STEPHANIE
Well, just tell me then.
BEN
I want to take you camping.
Separate sleeping bags of course.
STEPHANIE
Wow... camping... I've never been.
BEN
You're going to love it. The lights
of Chicago have nothing on the
stars.
STEPHANIE
You know, I would love to go,
really I would, but remember how I
was telling you about my plans to
expand the business? Well, the
investor really wants a tour of the
space.
BEN
We could go after?
STEPHANIE
We could.
BEN
You really don't want to go, do
you?
STEPHANIE
I suppose I could get away for one
night.
BEN
I promise you'll have fun.
STEPHANIE
Camping... Right.
CASSIE
It's nice of you to help, Tara.
TARA
Oh yeah. Brandon's working tonight.
I saw Grace coming in.
I can't believe she's old enough to
get her driver's license.
CASSIE
No matter how old she gets, she'll
always be my baby.
TARA
I'm so sorry.
CASSIE
That's okay.
TARA
No, it's not.
CASSIE
It's not about the salad.
TARA
I think I might be pregnant.
CASSIE
Tara!
TARA
I'm freaking out. It's such a big
thing, having a baby, being a
mother.
CASSIE
It's gonna be okay.
TARA
I'm not so sure. Brandon and I
haven't even discussed kids since
before we were married and even
then it seemed so far away it
didn't feel real. I can't handle
this. I'm not ready.
CASSIE
Have you told Brandon?
TARA
I wanted to wrap my head around it
first.
CASSIE
The nice thing about being married
is you're never alone. You always
have a partner.
You and Brandon can handle whatever
life throws at you if you do it
together.
LINDA
Am I in your way?
CASSIE
Oh, no. It's a big table.
LINDA
Oh you know what, I gotta pack up.
I need to get dinner ready for my
boys.
CASSIE
What're you making?
LINDA
Takeout.
CASSIE
The place on Clover?
LINDA
No, I've actually found another
place in the next town over.
Cassie...
CASSIE
Yeah.
LINDA
Thank you. For giving my family
some space. And I hope I didn't
come across too harshly when I
asked you to back off a little.
CASSIE
I understand completely.
LINDA
It's working. My being here. Nick
is thriving.
CASSIE
It's great he's doing so well.
LINDA
It's because he's part of a
cohesive unit. Having both of his
parents present is really making a
difference.
CASSIE
That's wonderful.
LINDA
It is wonderful and I'm glad that
you and I agree. You take care of
your family and I'll take care of
mine. Thanks again.
NICK
This is great.
SAM
We can eat at my house. Cassie's
got enough guests to cook for.
LINDA
Don't be silly. Cassie, do you have any of that
fresh squeezed juice I like?
SAM
I'm sorry, Cassie...
LINDA
She doesn't mind.
CASSIE
I don't.
SAM
I do.
LINDA
Sam, you're a gentleman.
CASSIE
You're all welcome to breakfast
anytime.
LINDA
You are so sweet. Thank you. Oh
just a little heads up, your french
toast is just a bit on the dry side
today.
CASSIE
Well, I'm always open to feedback.
SAM
So, are you ready for your
basketball tryout?
NICK
It's not a tryout, it's a game.
SAM
Yeah, well I'm really looking
forward to seeing you play.
LINDA
So am I. Hey, you know, we could
ride over together.
SAM
We could, but we won't.
LINDA
Oh come on, I could swing by and
pick you up from work.
SAM
No need to swing, Linda. But
thanks.
NICK
Hey Cassie, do you want to come?
SAM
Yeah, come.
LINDA
Oh, you know, Cassie is so busy,
I'm sure she can't make it.
CASSIE
You know, I don't have anyone to
cover for me at the store.
LINDA
Oh no, darn.
SAM
You really are a great cook,
Cassie. Thanks for this.
CASSIE
I'd be happy to share my recipes
with you.
LINDA
No thank you.
CASSIE
Well, if you change your mind.
LINDA
I won't.
STEPHANIE
Cassie said you should be my…
Partner? Look, I am happy to have
you work here as an employee. I
mean, you just started working for
me and your restaurant experience
is limited. I mean, I can certainly
give you more to do but I think
it's a little early to be talking
about taking you on as a partner. I
really need you here at the Bistro.
Look, I found an investor who is
considering helping me with my
plans to expand. I want to add a
catering storefront in that newly
vacated space down the street.
ABIGAIL
That's a very big deal.
STEPHANIE
It is. Which is why I needed an
investor. For a small percentage of
the business, I can get all the
working capital I need. But I need
you to keep things ship-shape here
while I get that business up and
running.
ABIGAIL
Looks like we've got our work cut
out for us, don't we?
BETH
Do you mind if we fill up our water
bottles?
CASSIE
Help yourself.
BETH
We're heading out to the Alter
Falls for a hike. Great suggestion.
CASSIE
It's such a special place.
BETH
I just love hiking, you know,
communing with nature.
CASSIE
Yeah, me too. What about you,
Larry?
LARRY
It's a good workout.
CASSIE
Oh, um, before you head out, the
florist called about your flowers.
BETH
Is there a problem?
CASSIE
I'm afraid so. Their cooler broke
down last night and they lost most
of their inventory.
LARRY
Can we call another florist? I'll
pay. Whatever it takes.
CASSIE
You want your bride to be happy.
BETH
How lucky am I?
CASSIE
I'll see what I can do.
LARRY
Please.
CASSIE
Sure. Oh, and also before you head
out, one more thing. Cake.
Traditional layer with rosettes.
The bakery just called to confirm.
BETH
Traditional all the way, that's us.
LARRY
That's what we agreed to.
CASSIE
I have seen a lot of engaged
couples and most have at least a
few disagreements over the wedding,
but not you two.
MARTHA
Ahhhhh. I'm receiving a very
prestigious award from the
Middleton Small Business
Association at the end of the week
and an acceptance speech is
mandatory. Ahhhh. I can't come out
croaking like a bullfrog. I've been
practicing for two weeks solid.
SAM
I told you yesterday, you have to
rest your voice.
MARTHA
I did.
SAM
Except for all the practicing. It's
definitely getting worse - you
officially have laryngitis.
MARTHA
But how is that possible?
SAM
Well, either you have an upper
respiratory infection, or acid
reflux or you've been talking too
much. I'm gonna bet on door number
three.
MARTHA
Well, make it go away.
SAM
I can't. But you can. You have to
rest your voice. No talking. And I
want to see you back tomorrow.
MARTHA
But what about my speech?
SAM
I don't know what to tell you,
Martha. Either you rest your voice
or risk losing it completely.
MARTHA
Well, thank you, but no thank you.
This whole voice thing is nothing
that a strong dose of herbal tea
won't take care of.
SAM
Just because you don't like what I
say, doesn't make it any less true.
MEGHAN
I saw your sign, it kind of spoke
to me.
CASSIE
So you're a waitress.
MEGHAN
I am. I just love being around
different people everyday.
CASSIE
And a vet tech.
MEGHAN
I love animals.
CASSIE
And you work in a bakery.
MEGHAN
Part time. I just have loved baking
ever since I was a little girl.
CASSIE
I read an article about a woman who
started her own organic pet food
store. She makes everything from
scratch.
MEGHAN
I can't make a living baking for
animals.
CASSIE
You know pet food is a billion
dollar industry.
MEGHAN
Billion?
CASSIE
And growing. Time is precious. If
you only have time to choose one
new venture in life, you can never
go wrong choosing something you
love.
MEGHAN
Thanks. I almost didn't come in
here, it was your sign, in the
window.
CASSIE
Good luck, Meghan.
STEPHANIE
Did you tell Abigail I should make
her my partner?
CASSIE
No. She told me.
STEPHANIE
I don't know what she's thinking.
CASSIE
She's definitely thinking up
something.
STEPHANIE
Well, I'm gald she took it well
when I told her no.
CASSIE
Abigail?
STEPHANIE
I know, I was a little surprised
too.
CASSIE
You know, I find with Abigail that
what she says and what she means
are often two very different
things.
STEPHANIE
But I am very clear and was very
clear, no partnership. Period.
CASSIE
Good.
STEPHANIE
What's this?
CASSIE
It's a natural oil that repels
bugs.
STEPHANIE
Did Ben tell you he's taking me
camping?
CASSIE
No you did.
STEPHANIE
Everything in that store is plaid.
It was very visually upsetting.
CASSIE
I think it's sweet, he wants to
share something he loves with you.
STEPHANIE
I only said yes because I didn't
want to upset him, we just started
dating.
CASSIE
Just remember, being open to new
things is what brought Ben into
your life.
STEPHANIE
I'll be open but if I turn into a
free lunch buffet for a bunch of
hungry mosquitos, it's over.
CASSIE
Sounds fair.
STEPHANIE
Sounds itchy.
EVE
He says he loves me. And he's so
cute. But do you know what I did
last night? Watched football again,
football. I mean, he may love me,
but he loves Tom Brady more--
Hi, Dr. Radford.
SAM
Can I have a word with you
privately?
EVE
Sure. Gimme a sec. What's up, Doc?
SAM
Um, I think maybe some of the
patients are a little put off by
your familiarity. Can we just have
a moratorium on the gossip?
I like a quiet office. I don't want
the patients to be uncomfortable.
EVE
Josie, sweetie, am I making you
uncomfortable?
JOSEPHINE
Please...
EVE
She's fine.
SAM
Yeah, I'm not. I guess you're
making me uncomfortable. Doctor's
offices are supposed to be
professional, that's what I'm used
to.
EVE
Consider me on mute. I'll stop
talking. Now.
GRACE
Thank you for doing this, Mom.
CASSIE
Oh, I have to admit...
GRACE
What?
CASSIE
well, your dad, this was kind of
his department.
GRACE
Yeah. I remember him teaching me
how to ride a bike.
CASSIE
And then taking off the training
wheels.
GRACE
Ouch. Okay. Ready?
CASSIE
I am. Are you?
GRACE
Yes. What?
CASSIE
Slow down.
GRACE
Mom, I'm going the speed limit.
CASSIE
You're going a little fast.
GRACE
Nope. See. That guy on the bike is
passing us.
CASSIE
Speaking of bikes. You're a little
close, don't you think?
GRACE
No, I think I'm giving him plenty
of room.
CASSIE
Just give him a little more.
GRACE
Mom. Seriously.
CASSIE
Don't look at me, look at the road.
GRACE
I'm sorry. If you could just relax
for a second.
CASSIE
I am relaxed.
GRACE
I have read the manual forwards and
backwards. Have you read the
manual? No you have not.
CASSIE
Of course I have.
GRACE
Yes. When you were like fifteen.
That was a long time ago.
I'm sorry, that as mean. Look, I am
right and you are wrong. I was the
correct distance behind the bike,
and I would bet my life on it, really
to be honest, and if I had to say--
CASSIE
Where are you going?
GRACE
I'm going to turn in my learner's
permit and buy a bus pass.
BRANDON
Well, this is no ordinary date
night. Exhibit A; You let me pick
the movie. Sci-Fi when I know you
wanted see that new romanticcomedy.
Exhibit B; You let me pick
the restaurant. You hate Greek. And
exhibit C, to bring it on home,
here we are here at the Bistro
getting chocolate cake, my favorite
chocolate cake.
TARA
Well, I love you.
BRANDON
Well, I love you too. But
seriously, what's up?
TARA
I'm late.
BRANDON
Like, late-late?
TARA
I think I might be pregnant.
BRANDON
That's funny. You had me there.
It's not a joke. You're actually
going to have a baby?
TARA
Maybe.
BRANDON
How did this happen? No, I mean...
You know what I mean. Did you take
a test?
TARA
No, but I'm tired all the time, I'm
super hungry and I just feel
different.
BRANDON
Are you as freaked out about this
as I am?
TARA
More.
BRANDON
I don't think that's possible.
TARA
I'm the one who gets to go through
childbirth.
BRANDON
Okay, maybe it's possible.
MARTHA
I see you're looking for help?
CASSIE
I am.
MARTHA
Business is good?
CASSIE
It's time for Bell, Book and Candle
to reach a broader audience.
MARTHA
And that requires an additional
employee?
CASSIE
For what I have in mind, yes.
MARTHA
How interesting. Anyway, I am
desperately in need of your help.
My voice is going and our resident
doctor has prescribed a horrible
regimen. He wants me to stop
talking.
CASSIE
Sounds like good advice.
MARTHA
I will not be silenced. I have a
speech to give. And the show must
go on, as they say, so give me all
of it. Every herb, every elixir,
every flower that you have, if
it'll cure my throat, I'm game.
CASSIE
I am happy to help Martha... but
Sam already gave you a diagnosis,
and it's probably in your best
interest to take his advice.
MARTHA
He's a quack.
CASSIE
He is an accredited physician.
MARTHA
He doesn't know everything.
CASSIE
He graduated top of his class in
medical school.
MARTHA
Dr. Internet is all I need. And
you, of course.
STEPHANIE
I know it doesn't look like much
but it's got great bones. I can fit
two industrial ovens back there.
And I still have room for a reach
in cooler and walk-in freezer.
There's plenty of space for a prep
station here and I plan to rent-to
own gently used equipment.
ABIGAIL
That way she's not paying for any
depreciation.
STEPHANIE
Right. So, what do you think Dale?
DALE
I think we're both going to make a
lot of money.
STEPHANIE
Excuse me. This is Stephanie...
no... no, don't accept the delivery
if it's wrong... okay, I'll be
right there. I gotta get back...
can we meet later?
DALE
We have a lot to discuss.
ABIGAIL
And celebrate.
DALE
Yes. So, what do you think of all
of this?
ABIGAIL
I do have some thoughts.
DALE
I'd love to hear them.
ABIGAIL
Over wine or dinner?
DALE
How about we start with wine and
move on to dinner?
ABIGAIL
I like that plan.
GRACE
Thank you for doing this Brandon.
Seriously, mom drove me crazy.
BRANDON
Well, I taught Lori how to drive. I
think I can handle you.
GRACE
Keys?
BRANDON
Do you know that we're sitting in a
weapon right now?
GRACE
What?
BRANDON
A car is a two-ton mobile weapon.
GRACE
Okay, I love you but right now you
aren't making any sense.
BRANDON
I want you to understand the
gravity of the situation, Grace.
Driving is a responsibility, it's
not a right. You have to earn
these.
GRACE
You know I can sense things before
they happen?
BRANDON
Yeah.
GRACE
This lesson... not going to end
well.
BRANDON
Grace... Hey, come on.
BEN
Stephanie, you have nothing to be
embarrassed about. With the light
and the shadows, it could have
easily been a bear.
STEPHANIE
Yeah, except it was a raccoon.
BEN
Raccoons can be very dangerous.
That shirt looks better on you than
it ever did on me.
STEPHANIE
If I hadn't dropped my bag in the
lake...
BEN
Everything will be dry by morning.
STEPHANIE
Maybe we should just go home.
BEN
There's just one more thing.
STEPHANIE
Sure, what?
BEN
I've been wanting to do that ever
since I first saw you.
STEPHANIE
Yeah?
BEN
Let me just break down this
campsite and we'll head home.
STEPHANIE
Or we could stay.
BEN
No. You hate it, I can tell.
STEPHANIE
I don't hate all of it.
BEN
Oh yeah. What part do you like?
SAM
He did great.
LINDA
He did.
SAM
He's really grown up a lot since
we've been here.
LINDA
You know, I have to admit it.
Middleton has been really good for
him.
SAM
Are you actually saying I was
right?
LINDA
Don't push it. She said she wasn't
coming, Sam.
SAM
Who are you talking about?
LINDA
Cassie Nightingale. That's who
you're looking for, right?
SAM
No. I wasn't looking for anybody.
LINDA
I don't believe you.
SAM
You have to stop trying to control
me, and this family.
LINDA
Everywhere we go, Cassie is there.
SAM
Cassie's not your problem.
LINDA
No she isn't. Not anymore. I asked
her to give us some space, to have
some time to be a family.
SAM
You did what?
LINDA
I was right to do it. Sam.
SAM
I can't believe you.
LINDA
Look, Nick wants the three of us to
go to dinner together. What would
you like me to tell him?
CASSIE
Ben.
BEN
Hi Cassie. This is my sister.
SARAH
Sarah.
CASSIE
Oh, nice to meet you. How can I
help?
SARAH
That oil that you gave Ben, it
really worked on my back.
CASSIE
Oh, glad to hear that.
BEN
Are you still looking for someone
to help you?
CASSIE
Yes.
BEN
Do you think my sister could help
you?
SARAH
Ben... I just came in for some more
oil, not a job.
CASSIE
Do you need a job?
SARAH
I do, but I've never worked in a
place like this before. I'm a
hairdresser.
BEN
You were.
SARAH
My hands, was a car accident.
CASSIE
I think you're the perfect fit,
Sarah.
SARAH
You do?
CASSIE
The job is yours if you like.
SARAH
But you don't know anything about
me. And I don't have any retail
experience.
CASSIE
I get a good feeling about you.
SARAH
Okay, when do I start?
CASSIE
Day after tomorrow.
SARAH
Thank you.
BEN
Thanks.
CASSIE
She's just what I was looking for.
LINDA
Oh, come on, Sam. You can't keep
giving me the silent treatment.
SAM
I can try.
LINDA
Do you remember what our therapist
said?
SAM
I don't accept credit cards, only
checks and cash? You had no right
to tell Cassie to back off.
LINDA
Well, I'm sorry. I was only doing
what I had to do to protect my
family.
SAM
What are you talking about?
Cassie's not a threat. She's a
good, kind, compassionate person.
More than anyone else, she helped
Nick and I get settled in this
town. She's looked after both of us
like we're family. And she's one of
the few people that Nick actually
trusts. In fact, I don't know what
I would have done without her.
LINDA
I see that, I see her effect on
you. All her sweetness and light
and warm nurturing perfection. Sam,
how am I supposed to compete with
that?
SAM
Nobody's asking you to.
LINDA
Bye, Sam.
SAM
Eve. You're here.
EVE
I came in early. Look, I swear, my
lips are sealed.
MARTHA
Furthermore. And I can't believe
that I'm wasting my time on this
again, but all of the businesses on
Main Street are responsible for
their own garbage. That's enough
for today. Good day.
MARTHA
Chief Sanders.
DEREK
'Scuse me?
MARTHA
Where are we on that security
detail for my MSBA Awards speech?
DEREK
Nowhere. We can't do it.
MARTHA
When you say can't that sounds
suspiciously like NO.
DEREK
The department doesn't have the
manpower.
MARTHA
Are you telling me that, that the
most important political figure in
this town, nay, in this region,
will be a without proper security
detail?
DEREK
Look, we need to keep our officers
on call for actual emergencies.
MARTHA
That's just...
DEREK
That's... okay? Is that what you
were gonna say? Thank you, Madam
Mayor. I knew you'd understand.
MARTHA
Don't you dare walk away from me.
No!
CASSIE
Oh, I have organic sunscreen, if
you run out.
LARRY
Oh, I probably can't use them, I'm
allergic to everything. Including
the sun.
CASSIE
That's too bad.
LARRY
I make do.
CASSIE
Where's Beth?
LARRY
I think she's getting ready.
CASSIE
Oh, you going out to lunch?
LARRY
I thought we'd take a drive.
CASSIE
That's romantic. Speaking of
romantic, do you have big plans for
your honeymoon?
LARRY
Hawaii.
CASSIE
There is a lot of sun in Hawaii.
LARRY
Beth is like a fish, she loves the
water. I wanted to go skiing.
BETH
Larry. If you didn't want to go to
Hawaii, you could've just said
something?
LARRY
Who doesn't love Hawaii? It's no
big deal. No, it's not. I just want
Beth to be happy.
BETH
This is work, I have to take it.
CASSIE
You're allowed to be happy too,
Larry.
01:33: 32:00 EXT. SAM'S OFFICE - DAY
Establishing.
MARTHA
Fix this.
SAM
Pardon me?
MARTHA
Fix this.
SAM
So your tea remedy didn't do the
trick? I can't make any promises,
but if you go seventy-two hours
without speaking, there's a chance
you'll be able to make your speech.
MARTHA
No talking?
SAM
Not a peep.
MARTHA
Very well. I accept your challenge. And
I relish it. You have no idea of
the extent of my willpower. Ghandi
himself was a veritable slacker by
comparison --
SAM
Martha?
MARTHA
What? Yes.
SAM
Starting now.
MARTHA
Oh. Right.
GRACE
So... how'd it go last night with
the basketball team?
NICK
The coach asked me to join.
GRACE
Nick, that's great.
NICK
How'd your driving lessons go?
GRACE
Well, at the rate I'm going, by the
time I get enough experience to
pass my driving test, I'll be so
old I'll be able to ride the bus
for free. I'm seriously considering
just cancelling my test.
NICK
Don't give up. Try your mom again.
She's cool.
GRACE
She's only cool to you because
she's not your mom.
NICK
I don't know. When it comes time
for me to get behind the wheel, I'd
gladly switch out my dad out for
your mom.
ABIGAIL
Okay, you definitely showed those
menus who's boss.
STEPHANIE
My investor pulled out. He loved my
business plan. He seemed to love
the rental space I found.
I have built-in customers and a
marketing plan... it's a sure
thing... or at least it was. I
don't know what went wrong.
ABIGAIL
I just want to say, it's been so
great working for you.
STEPHANIE
You're quitting?
ABIGAIL
I'm going to start my own business.
Have a great night.
SAM
What are you reading? A Driver's Ed
manual?
CASSIE
Grace and I had a disagreement.
SAM
Over?
CASSIE
Safe distances between other cars
and bikes.
SAM
Nick doesn't turn fifteen for a few
months yet.
CASSIE
Lucky you. Ah-ha. I'm right. I knew
it.
SAM
I'm not surprised.
CASSIE
Not that it matters. My driving
instruction days are over.
SAM
You don't know that for sure.
CASSIE
Oh no. She said "Mom, I don't want
you to teach me how to drive."
SAM
Okay, you know for sure.
CASSIE
Should I set two extra places for
breakfast tomorrow.
SAM
Linda...
CASSIE
I like having you guys around.
SAM
Well, I would enjoy it more under
different circumstances.
CASSIE
Nick loves his mother.
SAM
And I want him to but she's...
well, I never thought she'd stick
around. She's obsessed with work.
CASSIE
She's found a way to do her work
and be close to Nick.
SAM
You're too nice.
CASSIE
So are you.
SAM
Not when it comes to Linda. Still.
She told me that she asked you to
stay away from Nick and me.
CASSIE
She did.
SAM
Don't. Okay? I like having you in
my life.
LARRY
Cassie. Sorry to track you down.
CASSIE
What is it?
LARRY
I've been thinking... We need to
cancel the wedding. I can't marry
Beth.
BRANDON
Cassie told me you'd be up here.
Are you okay?
TARA
You were such a cute baby. I'm not
pregnant.
BRANDON
I'm so sorry. I love you.
TARA
I love you too.
BRANDON
Is there anything I can do?
TARA
You're doing it.
BRANDON
Wow.
TARA
I know, I freaked out when I
thought I was pregnant.
BRANDON
I freaked out too when you told me.
To be honest, I'm kind of relieved.
TARA
What?
BRANDON
Well, I mean...
TARA
You didn't really want to have the
baby?
BRANDON
No, I didn't say that.
TARA
I think you did just say that.
BRANDON
No. I didn't. Tara, you said you
were freaked out too?
TARA
Well, I was. I was scared to death.
But now that I know that I'm not
pregnant - I don't know I feel this
huge loss and it's just
overwhelming me.
BRANDON
Look, maybe not being pregnant is a
sign that we're not ready.
TARA
Hold on. I thought you said you
wanted to have kids.
BRANDON
I do. Someday.
TARA
Which is why you're so relieved
that I'm not pregnant.
STEPHANIE
So. This new business you're
starting...
ABIGAIL
Look, you're wrong about me. I'm a
born saleswoman with plenty of
experience. I've just decided to
use my skills to better my life
instead of yours.
STEPHANIE
And how exactly are you planning on
funding this business?
ABIGAIL
Oh, I found an investor.
STEPHANIE
Dale?
ABIGAIL
We had dinner while you were
camping.
STEPHANIE
I knew it. You stole my investor.
ABIGAIL
I didn't steal anything. I just had
a better business plan and sales
pitch. Sorry.
STEPHANIE
You're not sorry.
ABIGAIL
You know what. I'm not. And thank
you.
STEPHANIE
For what?
ABIGAIL
For not making me your partner.
JOHN
Hello Cassie Nightingale.
CASSIE
John.
JOHN
Now how did I get older and you got
more beautiful?
