Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Good Girls"...

So what do think?
You got what it takes?

Do it, Beth.
Just sh**t him.

I just want it to be over.

When's Dean-sy coming home?

Made all your favorites.

What happened to the stop sign?

The things you did...

Hand me those.
Really?

Wanna act like nothing's wrong?

I'm gonna leave Nancy.

I have a secret.
Nancy's pregs.

I'm going to take
these women down.

Yes.
I'm his key witness.

I can't go away for this.
What are you doing?

Well, a husband can't testify
against his wife.

Turns out
we got a mutual friend.

He's talking to the Feds now.

I'm going to need you
to take care of him.

That's insane.

What is it?

What is it, Beth?

You had to bring it?

I wasn't going
to leave it at home.

All right.
Let me see it. Come on.

Careful.

Really?

Put it down.

All right.

How's Tuesday?

Sara has a doctor's appointment.

Well, Wednesday I have Sadie.
Thursday?

I guess Thursday works.

- Wanna whip out your iCal or...
- No!

You know, I'm just trying
to be proactive here, okay?

Good news is, we have the means.

Now we just have
to find someone to do it.

I say we look on the dark web.

One "The First 48"
they always hire,

like, a gym trainer
or something.

- How do we get on that?
- I don't know.

That's why it's called
the dark web.

It's not meant for us.

Am I the only one
who doesn't want to do this?

- No.
- He's a r*pist.

- He's a person.
- Who r*pes.

God, I can't have
this conversation.

I'm gonna be sick.

Welcome to Dandy Donuts,
I'll be right with you.

It's 2 A.M.
Who needs a frickin' donut?

Why did he ask us to do it,
anyway?

To t*rture me.

Maybe if we wait
he'll get ants in his pants

and he'll do it himself.

Yeah. Yeah, and then
he'll do the hokey pokey

and he'll turn himself around

and then you know
what he's gonna do?

Us.

You know what this is?

A g*ng initiation.

Son of a bitch.

Blood in, blood out.

Son of a bitch.

It's a thing.
Trust me.

Excuse me?

Can I order?

So then the doctor writes
the gender on a little slip

of paper and you bring that
slip of paper to a bakery

and they make a cake
that has either blue or pink...

Wow, hey.
Sadie! Chop chop.

I mean, obviously, who cares.
You just want a healthy baby,

blah, blah, blah.
Did you do it naturally?

Uh, well, I pooped her out
in the bathroom at prom, so...

Is she coming down or...

- Hey.
- Hi.

Oh, uh, did you get my message?

About what?

Uh, Sadie wants to quit piano.

Mm.

Well, I actually
think that's a good idea.

Well, I actually think
that she should stick it out.

Well, not if it's not
the right thing to do anymore.

You don't quit something just
because it starts to get hard.

Yeah, you can.

Because sometimes it's just
the end of the road, Greg.

Yeah,
and you got to deal with it.

How about if she finds
another instrument?

Yes, Nance gets it.

Can you please tell her
that she has to come?

Oh, no, no, no.
Uh, if...

Um, yeah.
You should... Come.

Good sell.

You really should.

You're the only other person

on the planet who has been
here, you know?

Where's that?

Pregs with Gregs.

Sadie, please!

So, how is Sara doing?

- Oh, she is way, way, better.
- Oh, goodness, so much better.

And what about you guys?

Is that a new Jesus?

Oh, yeah, yeah. You like him?

Yeah, word,
he's got the whole...

So, how are you doing?

God has put you two
through quite a bit.

Um...

Well, you know the truth is
we've been having

a rough go of it lately.

It's my fault.
I broke a vow.

More than one.

- You were unfaithful?
- I wouldn't say that.

Why not? I mean,
you lied, you snuck around,

you climbed in the bed with
a whole bunch of shady people.

- Okay.
- Did things I would never do.

- All right.
- This was betrayal, for sure.

And infidelity is one
of the biggest tests

a marriage will face.

It's like I can feel
the distance and it's on me

but...
I don't know how to fix it.

What do you think about
what Ruby just said?

I mean, listen, you know...

I love her, she's the
mother of my children,

she's my best friend...
Ah, say it to her.

You're my best friend.

You're my road dog,
and honestly when I look at you

right now,
I don't know who I married.

Is it over?

Is what over?

The affair.

Yeah, it's over.

God is good and he forgives,

and in time Stan will, too.

Friend's giving his
deposition in the morning.

What the hell?

He's not my friend.

So, how are you going to do it?

I don't know.

Well maybe you should
figure that out, huh?

I can't just m*rder someone.
I'm not a psychopath.

Not easy being the boss, huh?

I need to pick up my kids now.

Oh, yeah. You gotta hustle

if you wanna make it
to Scouts, huh?

Do it tonight.

Did you see that sh*t?
That guy is incredible.

Can we watch "Minions" now?

It's the playoffs, my man.
Mm-mm.

Oh, come on! Oh, my God.
Right there.

I want "Minions."

Now if I'm going to be
your Daddy, Son,

you gotta learn to listen.

Listen to your Daddy, okay?

All right, it's your lucky day.

- Yay!
- I gotta run for a bit, okay?

Okay.

Turner.

Turner?

Jimmy?

Jimbo?

Get on your knees.

Oh, what is this?
"The Craft?"

What are you going
to cast a spell on me?

Just get on your knees, Boomer.

So you can sh**t me
with a squirt g*n?

Whoa.

Okay, hey.

Just do it.

What's going on?

Don't let him talk.
Just do it.

No, please.
No, no, no, no, no. Hang on.

- Beth, pull the trigger.
- Hang on.

- sh**t him now.
- No, please.

Beth, trust me.
Don't let him talk to you.

Just sh**t him.
Come on. No, come on, please.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Please.
Oh, God.

You are not going to give
that deposition.

What are you doing? Because
she's going to k*ll you! Beth!

You are ratting out a g*ng.

You think they're going
to let you talk?

Wait, who is going to k*ll me?

You guys or the g*ng?

We are!
Beth, do it! Come on!

What are you doing?

Give me the g*n,
give me the g*n.

- Annie.
- Ruby.

Make her give me
the g*n right now.

I can't, I don't know what... I
can't help you.

Jesus, Ruby, come on.

Beth, pull the trigger.

So I'm gonna go now.

How much?

Come on,
everyone's got a number.

But you got to disappear
for good.

$20,000.

Oh, my God. Beth, come on.

- Deal.
- Sweet Jesus.

Well that's twice now.

No, it's a stop sign.
It's not damaged, it's missing,

and we live on a street with,
like, a million kids,

so you know somebody, somebody
is going to get k*lled.

Where's the refrigerator?

The medical bills alone are...

Not to mention the mortgage.
Why didn't you tell me?

Because you just
got out of surgery.

- I can do something.
- What are you going to do?

What are you going to mow lawns?

You can hardly even walk.

And that's on me.

So just let me figure it out,
okay?

Is that it?

I put the dishwasher
on Craigslist

and I've got a lead
on the patio furniture.

That's not
what I'm talking about.

It's about him, isn't it?

- No.
- Have you talked to him?

- No.
- Have you seen him?

No!

I'm just trying
to keep us above water.

It's gonna take a bit of work

Oh-ho, work

Now that you're here

Whoa-ho, work

I feel dirtier
than a truck stop ho.

And those late fees,
they're worse than an STD.

- That's it?
- Are you for real?

Literally the only thing left
of value

that I have are my eggs.

Okay, lets sell those.

Takes a full menstrual cycle,
but thanks.

- Well, we're short.
- How much exactly?

$16,927.

Well, gotta go.

- Seriously?
- Yeah, I got a party.

- Seriously?
- Hey. I would have sh*t him.

I'm not sure I have the right
address here.

I'm looking for Leslie Peterson.

He's my fiancé.

Is he home?

No.

Will you tell him
Jimmy stopped by?

With the FBI.
He's right here.

Yeah, I've been a little
under the weather.

Dude.

You ever hear of IBS?
It's a chronic thing.

It flares up.
We had a deal.

We're building a case, Leslie.

Look, I just need
a couple of days.

I swear. And then
I'll be back to regular.

Did they get to you?

- Who?
- Come on, man.

Oh, no, come on.
No one got to me.

If somebody's trying to shake
you down I need to know.

It's just a condition.

So I'll get with the DA then?

Yeah.

Let's do this.

Thank you everyone
for coming out tonight.

I am so excited.

Okay, so, how many people
think blue?

- Okay.
- Okay.

How many people think pink?

How many don't give a rat's ass?

- Let's find out, okay?
- Yeah.

Let's go.
Take a deep breath, okay.

Three, two, one.

Oh, my gosh
I'm so nervous. I can't wait.

Is it ready?
Ahhuh.

It's a...

wait, what is it?

- I think it's kind of pink.
- No, it's nothing.

It's nothing, it's marble.

- Okay, uh...
- Great. Well, party ruined.

No, no, no, it's not. What
do you want me to do?

I'll do anything.

I wanna know the sex
of the baby, Greg.

No, I... right.

Yowza.

- What'd you get her?
- Oh, a bottle of wine.

You?
The Moo Mama,

you know that pram?

Damn, aren't those like a G?

Oh, no, I got her the good one.

Head up, eyes woke,
Nothing you could do

To correct my flow,
My feet don't get broke

I'mma keep it moving till
the day I go

Hey, nobody said
it would be easy

And I don't need it like that

Hey, nobody said
it would be easy

And I don't even want it
like that

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, bounce back

What are you doing?

Looking for my phone.

In someone else's purse?

- If you must know.
- Sorry.

Just trying to keep
the mystery alive.

That ship has sailed.

Really?
Like when?

Oh, I could tell you
exactly when.

When?

It was when you Dutch Oven'd
me in high school.

You loved it.

Did you call?

Yeah, um, it's a boy.

- Wow!
- Yeah.

You excited?

Yeah.

But look,
this doesn't change anything

about how I feel about us.

It changes everything.

So, I'm gonna, um... I'm gonna
put this inside me now.

Yeah, just in there.

Okay, got your 17 grand
and then some.

- The hell is that?
- It's a frick'n Tesla, dawg.

Took it.

- You stole a car?
- Oh, I didn't steal anything.

I'm not stealing
someone else's car.

Yeah, you're not sh**ting
anybody either, are you?

I made a decision in the moment.

Well you made it for all
of us and guess what?

It was the wrong one.

Take the keys.

Okay. I'm sorry,
if you have another way

of getting, like, 20 grand
by tomorrow then please,

go with god.

Take the keys, Beth.

Next time, I hold the g*n.

Hey, where... where is the beer?

In the cooler in the basement.

Well, that'll only take
me an hour.

Where can I sell a car
for parts?

- We're not selling our car.
- It's not our car.

- Whose is it?
- It doesn't matter.

- Well, I'd like to know.
- I don't know.

What is this, "Fast and the
Furious?" It is, isn't it?

I don't have a lot of time.

What does he think he's
Vin Diesel all of a sudden?

I'm not an idiot.
You're just going to have

to trust me, okay?

Trust you? I have a b*llet
lodged a half inch

from my spine because you
can't stop seeing this guy.

Oh,
but I'm supposed to trust you.

I'm supposed to trust that you
have a great idea what to do

with everyone...
Let me help you.

I got it, thank you!
I said I've got it!

You should talk to Dominic
in Service.

He's been around.

Okay.

What kind of car is it?

A Tesla.

You can't sell
a Tesla for parts.

Why not?

It's like a giant iPad.

Next time, go for the Honda.

Soon as I woke up I knew
something was different

My intuition says
I'm on my way to winning

Guess I've been playing all
my cards right, yeah

Oh, baby, baby Oh, baby, baby

- What do you want?
- Oh.

Tequila?
Top shelf on the left.

Did you not...
want a boy or...?

- It's a boy?
- Whoops.

Oh, my God,
this is so messed up.

Hey, do you want me to go
grab one of your friends, or...

They're not my friends.

They're just b*tches
I follow on Instagram.

Well I'll...
I'll get Greg then, okay?

I don't think he wants a baby.

What?

He's been really weird.

Like he's not there.

You know, like, he's like,
there but he's not, like,

there, there, you know?

What was he like
when you were pregnant?

I mean... freaked out.

- Yeah.
- For sure.

But you know, we also had
finals and teenage onset acne.

So.

What if there
is something really wrong?

You know,
I think you should just...

Just talk to him.

Yeah, because maybe,
you know, it's just nerves.

Yeah.
It's probably that.

Okay.

Can you...
Can you stay for just a minute?

Sure.

You guys buy a lot of quinoa.

It's a really good
source of protein.

I gotta ask you something.

Okay.

Is Stan good with you, now?

- I mean, in what...
- With the cheating and lying,

all of it.

Are you ever going to look at
him the same way you used to?

It's different.

That's not an answer.

When Dean cheated and lied,
he did it for Dean.

You did it for your family.

And besides, I don't know that
I've ever looked at Dean

the way you look at Stan.

Damn.

Yeah.

Sorry 'bout the wait, ladies.

Whoa.

- Is there a problem?
- I mean, we'll take it.

Hell yeah, we'll take it.

- So this isn't your car.
- It is now.

Wait, what...
What car do you drive?

A Tesla, baby.

We're about to hit the club.

Come on,
I'm really slammed here.

Fine, the Honda.

- Civic or Accord?
- Accord.

Black or silver?

Black.

- It's only half.
- You'll get the other half

when we know
you've left the country.

Whoa, no.
That was not the deal.

The deal was we k*ll you.
Want to go back to that?

How will I get it?

We'll mail it.

You'll need my address.

Yeah, it's kind of
how mail works.

I'm not going to compromise
my location.

We'll Venmo you.

Oh, and have the IRS up my ass?

- Fine. PayPal.
- It's the same problem.

P.O. box.

- Yeah, that works.
- Done.

Great.

I'll leave first thing
in the morning.

Hey.

I meant what I said.

If it's not us it will be them.

I'll drop you a postcard.

I got an early shift,
so you're on car pool.

Couches are for cheaters,
Stanley.

Did you cheat?

- Nope.
- Neither did I.

What do you want here?

I want you to come back to bed.

Well I can't ask like this
didn't happen.

So maybe we can just
give it back then.

What are you talking about?

The kidney.
Maybe we can return it.

Yeah, okay.
That's just crazy talk now.

What's crazy is that you
can't even look at me.

You know what?
You lied to my face.

I saved her life.

It wasn't God or the church

or any of those
thoughts and prayers.

It was me.

You say you don't know who I am.

Well let me introduce myself.
I'm the crazy ass bitch

that robbed a grocery store

to save her child
and protect her family.

Your child and your family.

I'm that bitch.

Nice to meet you.

And you're welcome.

Nana!

Nana, it's me.
Open up.

Leslie, what time is it?

Oh, it's late, Nana.
I'm sorry.

I fell asleep during "Wheel."

Why don't you come back
tomorrow?

Uh, no, we gotta do this now,
okay?

- What's that?
- Oh. It's a phone, Nana.

I already have a phone.

Well, but,
you can't call long distance.

I don't call anyone out of town.

Well you might need to,
and this way you can.

It's unlimited. Oh, and,
uh, here, check this out.

Huh? See, now we can see
each other any time we want.

But you're right around
the corner.

- Yeah, but what if I wasn't.
- But you are.

But what if I wasn't!

Is everything all right, Leslie?

Yeah.

Are you in any sort of trouble?

No.

Mildred's grandkids
got her one of these.

I think it was so
they didn't have to visit.

Oh, yeah?
Did she use it?

For about a week.

Then she d*ed.

I can't waste my time
learning a whole new gadget.

How about milk and cookie, huh?

That be good?

Yeah, sure.

Hello?

How about a little customer
service here, huh, guys?

What's going on, Janet?
Ron, Gary?

Hey, welcome back, man.

What are you doing here, Mr. B?

Last time I checked we had
some cars to sell, am I right?

Look guys, I just want to say,
um, it's real nice to be back.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, oh yeah, I'm great.

What is it the kids do?

Oh!

Hey, what is that Vette
still doing here.

Oh, that?
Deal fell through.

Somebody's wife.
Well.

By the end of the day
that bad boy is mine.

You mark my words.
It is on, gentlemen.

All right guys, let's... let's
get out there and just have a...

Let's have an awesome day, huh?
Let's do it.

- Right.
- Good to see you, man.

Okay.

Hey, mom, watch.

You're doing great.

- Kid's got a lot going on.
- We like to keep him busy.

Oh yeah?
That's what he like?

He's 11.

Yeah, but if he doesn't
want to do something

he ain't going
to be any good at it.

You're parenting my kid now?

Nah.

No, I'm just saying
not everybody

could be good at everything.

So that's it?

So how'd you do it?

You want details?

Oh, please.

I googled the cleanest way
to k*ll somebody.

There's a part of the brain
called the light switch

in the back of your head.

I had tarps and coveralls
from painting Emma's nursery.

Hey, mom, watch me!

Hey, I'm watching!

We made him turn around
and put him on his knees.

He cried like a baby.

Then we turned out his lights.

And what did you do
with the body?

Put it in a duffel with bricks.

We rented a boat and took it
out as far as we could.

And you cleaned the boat?

Of course.

Wow, so you must have not had
much sleep then, huh?

Well, I'm a mother of four
so I'm used to it.

Right.

That's a hell of a story.

Thank you.

Yeah, I just wish it was true.

You see, you can't sh**t someone

if you don't use any b*ll*ts.

Hey mom!
I'm gonna dive.

Oh, you should watch.

This will be good.

It's 455 horse power.
0 to 60 in four flat.

Damn, that's lit.

Oh, man.
It is lit.

Hey, you okay?
You look a little hot there.

Yeah, standing next to this
baby, anybody looks hot.

And look at that,
rolling on twenty-twos.

Yeah, uh, you got a little...

Only car in the world that
compares to this one,

in my opinion, is the Ferrari.

And it's what... it's five times
as expe... as expensive,

and it's not made in America,
so...

Yeah, you know, you've got
some blood right there.

You know what?
We sh... we should just go in...

Yeah, I'm gonna... you know,
I'm gonna come back.

I can't...

I can't... I can't promise that
this is still gonna be here.

I really think you need
to see a doctor.

Can we get a little help?
We need a little help here!

Hey, what's with the pity party?

Oh, she's picking out
her wedding cake.

Hold up, she's getting married?

Yeah, people say that
Mr. Peterson knocked her up,

but, uh, I think it's true love.

Have a Fine and Frugal day.

Um. I... I can get that.

Wow. Big news.
Congrats.

Can I try the lemon next?

So, how did he propose?
Poem? Song? r*pe?

I don't have a choice, okay?
He's talking to the FBI.

Look,
he's not talking to anybody.

He is long gone by now.

What?

He's probably in Canada
because it's, like,

the only other country
he's ever heard of.

He's not in Canada.

Okay, maybe Mexico but...

He just booked our reception
hall an hour ago.

And he paid in cash, right?

He's invited my entire church.

I've been calling and calling
about that sign.

I know.

No one's ever going to fix it.

Hey, Carl?

Remember when you needed
time off for your kid's play?

And I made you work overtime.

And then I didn't pay overtime.
Instead, I docked you.

Because someone left
the meat locker open?

Well...

That someone was me.

But I couldn't tell you because
I knew you would be pissed.

How pissed are you, Carl?

There were like,
three or four of them.

I mean, they just...
They came out of nowhere, man.

This won't happen again.

If I got to deliver you to
the court house myself I will.

- Appreciate it.
- You have my word.

All right?

Let's get somebody in here
to clean you up?

Give me the g*n.

I don't have it.

What do you mean
you don't have it?

I gave it back.

Why would you do that?

I have children.

I don't want a g*n in the house.

- Then I'll just use Stan's.
- He's a cop, Annie.

Let's just go to a Walmart
and I will literally

just buy one, like,
over the counter or whatever.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah, really.

You gonna wait the seven days
for the permit?

Dammit. I'm gonna k*ll him!

Stupid, whiny, little... face.
Little...

Ah! I'm gonna k*ll him,

I'm gonna k*ll him
in his entire face.

You okay?

The dark horse rides

Beth?

I don't even understand
what's happening.

- Hey.
- I talked to him.

And?

He said there's someone else.

Okay, just start pulling
the anchor up.

Copy. Hauling anchor.

Actually, Conrad,
just take over the anchor,

and Joao you can come
into the bridge.

Copy that.

Something I need to know.

Okay.

Is Captain Sandy still
giving Conrad a hard time?

She's jamming him up good.

Now see, that woman needs
to calm her ass down.

She let Joao dock the yacht.

- What? That's Conrad's job.
- I know. I know.

That's just plain mean.

You turn it up a little bit,
please?

You need your hearing checked.

What's that now?

You know, I bet it was one
of those Pharma sluts

that he works with.

Their short skirts.

You know, they're always
trying to land doctors.

Greg's not a doctor.

Yeah, he sells boner pills.

Something bad
was bound to happen.

It's really not your fault.

I just feel so stupid.

Do you want
the honest to god truth?

The second you see
that little kid's face

nothing else matters.

I heard you split so wide

you could park
a food truck in there?

Oh, it looks like a sleeping
bag with the zipper torn off.

- 100%.
- Ugh.

And do not get me started
on your nipples, my friend.

Mine look like sausages already.

Is that normal?

Now just picture that you put
them in a food dehydrator for,

like, seven weeks and then you
feed them to your dog and...

They were out of cinnamon, so...

If only

My body

Could allow

The whiskey

If only

My body could allow

The misery

I can't do this anymore.

What's that?

The lying.

I lie to my family.
To my friends.

To the FBI.

To you.

I can't even keep it straight...

And I can't hide.
Not from you.

And I can't k*ll somebody
either, so.

I'm just so tired.

I don't think I've gotten
a full night's sleep

in over two months. Knowing
you is like having a newborn.

Are you going to k*ll me?

I'm gonna teach you.

Oh, shake baby, shake,
shake off the leaves

Shake baby shake,
Shake off the leaves

Shake baby, shake

Mm-mm-mm-mm, ah

Shake baby, shake,
Shake off the leaves

Shake baby, shake,
Shake off the leaves
