Frankie Meets Jack (2023)

[bunniefuu]

You want me
to tell that story?

They're gonna make a
record of it on video.

No, it's fine, it's fine.

Everybody wants to know
how old couples met

and stayed together, go ahead.

Okay.

She peed on me.

Oh, do you have to start
the story like that?

I thought she peed on me.

When he says she,
he means Maggie,

Maggie, the dog.

Yeah, and it
bothered you so much,

you, you asked me to
go dancing immediately.

Talk about romance.

Uh, woman, we didn't have
any time for romance.

My leg was soaking wet.

- Captain romantic.
- Yeah.

Well, it worked, didn't it?

Yes, it did.

And as they say,
the rest is history.

Oh.

Good morning!

Melody, my alarm
is set for seven.

I still have three minutes.

I know, I'm sorry.

It's just I'm really excited.

Are you excited?

Yes, I'm, I, I'm very excited.

Oh, thank you.

Today is a big day.

You two are meant to be together

and you're gonna
finally meet in person.

What are you gonna wear?

Uh, sweats, Chucks,
you know the drill.

Sweats?

First impressions
are everything.

Okay, but if this
guy's gonna spend

the rest of his life with me,

shouldn't he know who
I am from the get-go?

Okay, friend to friend, are
you sure you wanna wear sweats

to meet the love of your life?

Yes, I am.

No more guys like my ex,

or my ex before him.

- Hmm.
- Ugh.

I'm getting back out
there, but in my own way.

Fair enough.

Hmm.

I know you've really been
looking forward to this.

It's gonna be perfect.

Thanks, Mel.

Oh, by the way, I
used your new loofah,

but it was kind of
moldy, so I threw it out.

Mel, that is a sea sponge.

That's what they look like.

Cool.

Never gets any easier, does it?

You're lucky it's your
off day today.

You just rest up, bud.

How bet if I make you
some breakfast, all right?

- That sound good?
- Yeah? Attaboy.

Oh, good morning, Dr. Shaw.

Good morning.

You've got
gastroenteritis in room A,

skin lumps in B, and
kennel cough in C.

- Thank you, Tara.
- Of course.

By the way, you need
to leave early today.

You've got a meeting with
your wedding planner, 4 pm.

- Great.
- Here’s what we’re gonna do,

one more round of diagnostic
testing, little blood work,

and an abdominal ultrasound,
and we will get to the bottom

of what's going on
with Tiffany here.

Okay, Frankie, deep breaths.

He's going to love
you, probably.

Eventually.

Frankie, you look just
like your picture.

Thank you.

So how do you motivate
yourself and others

to accomplish tasks?

I'm sorry, what does this
have to do with the process?

A lot, actually.

What's your daily schedule,
activities, hobbies?

These questions are more intense

than my gynecologist's
office.

Uh, I'm an editor at
the Boston Chronicle.

I write all the local
wedding announcements.

I also make anniversary
videos for couples.

As far as hobbies go,

I like anything outdoors
with my feet in the grass.

And you think you're
ready to start a family?

Well, my ex had a
really large family.

He had brothers and sisters
and dogs, cats, a parakeet.

It was really
beautiful, I miss that.

So you wanna come
sit on the sofa?

Hm?

Come on!

Okay, I will come to you.

That's cool.

Okay, alone time it is.

He didn't
even like dogs,

not even my sweet Georgie.

That's not true.

I've always loved dogs.

You have not.

You just wanted to take
me out for a milkshake.

Well, that may be true.

I did want to take her
out for a milkshake.

She's gorgeous.

You trying to butter me up?

The most beautiful
girl in the world.

You're laying it
all pretty thick, Mister.

Is it working?

Maybe.

Hi, Tara, if I can
just have you sign here.

Oh, ooh.

- Sorry.
- Signature?

Uh, here you go.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

Um, I also wanted to ask, um,

my roommate got a dog
recently and needs a vet.

Oh, yeah, she should
definitely come in

for an initial intake checkup.

Uh, are you the point of contact
or should I get her number?

Yeah, you can put me down as
the point of contact, yeah.

Um, yeah, I'm a lot more
obsessive about my calendar.

She's a lot more
go with the flow.

I am the same way with plans.

I love a good
down-to-the minute plan.

A double confirmed
plan, the best.

Same.

This, all-flower wall.

It is going to be so posh.

500 meters of pink peonies.

This, this whole wall
is gonna be flowers?

It sounds like it's
gonna cost an arm and a-

No one likes a buzz k*ll, Jack.

Right.

You guys are the experts.

I'm sure it's gonna be-

So posh.

Now tell me, are we still
locked on in no bridesmaids,

no groomsmen thingy?

Locked, I do not need

a Pippa Middleton
show stealer moment.

Oui, oui, oui.

What about Boner?

Uh, honey, I, I
think it's enough

that Bonner's
invited, don't you?

No, Stacy, he's been my best
friend for over 20 years.

I know, but we can't ask
the calligraphy artist

to write Boner in the program.

Boner's just not posh.

Okay, well, his actual
name is Travis Bernard.

Can we put Travis on there?

Whatever you wanna do, babe.

Now, let us talk about
the table settings.

The waterfall napkins will be,

So posh.

Does it
seem like he likes me?

I mean, I don't think he
really knows what he likes.

He's really only been
out of the shelter

for like four hours.

At least you got some
sort of response from him.

He barked when you got home.

All dogs bark at me.

I'm a delivery driver.

It's basically in their DNA.

Okay, listen to this.

Walks,
tennis balls, and chicken.

Like, is he even a real dog?

These things take time.

Like think about how long it
took you to open up to me.

That's true.

I mean, you say that I
communicate too much,

but my family group chat
is always blowing up.

Definitely not my family.

I'm lucky if my sister
remembers my birthday.

Well, you always got me.

You're stuck with me.

But I do think that
maybe you should get back

into the dating
world a little bit.

Maybe Tucker could use a dad.

Oh, a dad?

Tucker would like a dad.

Okay, can we just, you know,
take it one day at a time,

like, bring it down?

Fine.

Hey, Stace, I'm sort of,

I'm sort of, uh, bummed
out about the wedding.

I know, it royally sucks
throughout of lemon curd.

No, no, no, it's
not, it's not that.

It's actually, um,
the, the whole wedding

because it's just,

it's just becoming
so big, you know?

And so excessive.

What's your idea of a
dream wedding, babe?

Roll around in the
hay with your dog

and spit seeds into a barrel?

Come on.

No.

My father is paying
for this whole wedding, babe.

It's his gift to us,

just like that very expensive
sports car he gave you.

I never asked for that car.

But you look
hot in that car,

and I like being seen
in that car with you.

I don't wanna sound
ungrateful here...

Okay, well, you
are sounding ungrateful.

Okay, let's do it.

Big wedding it is.

Oh, this has been our
plan all along, babe.

We've checked so
many boxes, right?

Junior and senior prom
king and queen, check.

Engaged on a yacht, check.

Now let's check off
dream wedding, okay?

Okay.

Maybe after the wedding,

we can start letting, uh,
Dakota sleep in here with us.

Yeah, your dog is perfectly
happy in my mud room.

Dogs love mud.

Well, it's not, it's not
about the mud, honey.

It's, you know,
about being with,

are you...

Hi, bud, you're
out of the crate.

All right, this is good.

You wanna come sit
on the sofa with me?

Good boy.

Good boy.

Look, I know you
don't love walks,

think of all the vitamin D,

all the butts you
can sniff, okay?

It's gonna be great, ready?

Okay. C’mon.

Easy, bud, stop pulling.

Tucker!

Tucker!

♪ The very thought of you ♪

♪ And I forget to do ♪

Here we go, there, buddy.

There you go, bud, there you go.

Hold on, come on.

There we go.

He got away from you, huh?

Uh, yeah.

I, I, I just got him and he
slipped out of his collar.

That's because that
car's too big for him.

Honestly, until he gets
used to walking with you,

what you should have
him in is a harness

because it's better
for their necks

and it's a heck of a lot safer.

Okay, yeah, we will get
the harness for sure.

Thank you so much
for grabbing him.

From now on, it Is
parks only for this guy.

Well, there's a lot more
to it than just that.

Owning a dog is a pretty
big responsibility.

Yep, I, I know that.

Yeah, I'm actually
a dog owner myself

and I work with animals, so
it's not all fun and games.

Copy that, got it.

Thank you, sir.

Sure, all right.

Well, best of luck with him
and I'll see you around.

Yeah, come, bud.

Is it irrational if
I start planning my wedding?

To the vet receptionist?

Yeah.

Uh-oh, I guess I'm
the irrational one.

Are you cool with
me still coming

to the vet appointment today?

Yes, of course.

So I was thinking maybe I
could bring her like snacks

or flowers or something.

Mel, slow down.

You haven't even been on
a proper date with her.

Why don't you just
start by asking her out?

I mean, I met a hot guy
in a crosswalk today

who saved Tucker's life,

but you don't see
me asking him out.

Whoa, rewind, you met someone?

No, no, no, not like that.

He saved Tucker and-

And he's hot.

Yeah, he was hot.

So a hot hero.

More like a hot weirdo.

He started lecturing me on
dog safety and etiquette.

Real snooze fest.

Ugh, gross.

Okay, back to me.

So I'm thinking no
flowers or snacks.

I'm just gonna ask her out.

Great idea, Mel.

Thanks.

Woo!

Bottoms up.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Cheers.

To your best man.

Absolutely.

And Jack, thank you so
much for helping Boner prep

for his 5K this month.

The first thing he taught
me was that the K in a 5K

does not stand for K.

I was a little bummed
out about that one.

You are going to be fine, hun.

Thank you.

Hm, Stacy running late?

Uh, yeah, yeah, she said she
had to get some highlights,

so she might be a minute.

Oh, yes, she'll be a while.

Um, I'm gonna run
to the ladies' room.

- I'll be right back.
- Alright.

Ooh, sorry, sweetie.

All right, man to man,
what are you gonna do?

Um...

Are you gonna go through
with this wedding?

I sort of, I sort of have to.

I don't really have a choice.

What are you talking about?

Man, she is taking
away your free will.

You know you don't have
to marry her, right?

No, but I kind of do because
we've been together forever

and it's the right thing to do.

The right thing to do?

Man, she doesn't like
anything you like.

She doesn't like animals,
she doesn't like outside.

And can I be totally
honest with you?

Weren't you just doing that?

I don't even think
she likes you.

She's, she's marrying me.

Yeah, she's marrying you,
but she doesn't like you,

and you can love someone
without liking them,

it's just not the type of love

you wanna build
a life with, bud.

Stacy never puts you first,

and I know you think
you owe her or whatever-

Well, look, her and her
family have been there for me

for a long time.

They've helped me out a lot.

Okay, so they helped you.

Everybody needs help
every once in a while.

It just seems like it's a
lot of guilt and obligation

in your house.

You and Stacy don't seem
to want the same things.

So you and Angela have
always seen eye to eye?

You never had any doubts?

Never, not a one.

Oh, sorry, the, uh,
line for the ladies room

was very long.

Okay, what did I miss?

Nothing.

My assistant, she never, never
puts it in one text, never.

Uh, I got a surgery, guys.

- I love you.
- Love you back, buddy.

All right, see you.

Come on, buddy.

Now I got two drinks.

Guess I'm driving home.

Oh, yeah.

There you go, buddy.

Boy, come on.

♪ The very thought of you ♪

It's you.

It's you.

Are you following me?

Following you? This
is, this is my clinic.

You guys know each other?

This is the guy I was
just telling you about,

who saved Tucker today.

The weirdo!

- No, I said hero.
- Ah.

Well, the, the hero
weirdo is your vet.

What a coincidence?

Hi.

Hi.

I, um, wanted to
ask you something.

Anything.

- Maybe...
- Hey, uh, where's the gauze at?

I showed you, in the cabinet,

in the drawer labeled gauze.

Thanks.

Sorry, what were you saying?

- Uh, yeah, so I was gonna...
- Where are the gloves at?

And can you just show me how
to use the printer real quick?

Yes, Dylan.

Um, excuse me.

He’s new.

I'll be right back as soon
as I finish with him, sorry.

This is the printer.

Yeah, obviously, okay.

Thank you for your patience.

Yeah, of course.

Uh, so how's Tuck?

Is he normal?

He's perfectly normal, yes.

And I see that you
got him that harness.

Yes, I, I did.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, do you know how
old he is, by chance?

I would say he's about two.

So is that 14 in human years?

Mm-hm.

Aw, my little teenage
son is becoming a man.

Yeah.

Well, since everything
is all clear with him,

I think that we'll just see
you back here in six months

for a checkup.

All right, thank you, doctor.

You can call me Jack.

Jack.

Yeah, and, and you are Frankie,

so it's nice to properly
meet you, Frankie.

It's nice to meet you.

Okay.

Oh, by the way, um,

you know that my dog would
not leave Tucker's side

the entire time he was
getting his blood work done.

- Really?
- Yeah, and I've never seen him

do anything like that before.

Okay, they told me at the rescue

that Tucker doesn't
play well with others,

so that, that is surprising.

What is your dog's name?

Dakota.

- Hm.
- Yeah.

You know, maybe since
they get along so well,

we should get them together
and do a little play date

in the park or something.

Yeah, I, I could totally
meet you at the park

- For the dogs.
- For the dogs, of course, yeah.

- Okay.
- Okay.

All right, well, I'm
gonna get going now.

Uh, I actually neutered
a pup this morning

and he's about to wake up and
realize what just happened.

Oh, that's ruff.

That's, I see what you
did there, that's good.

Tucker'll be in in a moment.

Sounds paw-fect.

- Paw-fect?
- Oh, okay, two too many?

Maybe.

Why? Why?

You really downplayed
how hot Dr. Jack is.

I told you he was
hot, but you know,

I actually think he's
like maybe too attractive.

I'm sorry, how is that a thing?

Ding dong, ding dong!

Oh, where are my
two favorite ladies?

There you are.

A little birdy
called me and told me

that somebody met the one.

I'm sure you just had
takeout, so I brought dinner

and I wanna hear all about it.

You called your mother and
told her I met the one?

I didn't call her.

I texted her.

I feel, I feel there's
something different about you,

it's like a seismic energy
shift, it really is.

What is it?

Is it, is it, is it some
spice in your sex life?

Mom, please stop.

You be quiet, you
came outta my vag*na.

You're not allowed a say.

Oh my God.

Listen, there's
something happening.

I'm sorry.

It's something,
it's, it's spicy.

It's spicy sex with this guy?

- No spice.
- No spice.

No, I met this guy for
like a half a second.

- Yeah?
- It was perfection.

- Yes?
- And then it wasn't.

Classic, Frankie's running
the other direction

as soon as she starts
to have feelings.

Okay, classic Melody.

I'm too scared to
pull the trigger,

so I'm never gonna
ask a cute girl

from the vet's office
out on a real date.

Oh, uh-oh, that is not my girl.

I raised you better than that.

You go after your love.

Fine, I will ask her
if you ask him, deal?

Or how about I have my
love life under control?

And you know what you can
help me with, actually?

I'm going to throw a little
birthday party for Tucker.

Apparently he's turning
14 in human years,

which is super cute,

so maybe we could throw
something intimate.

Intimate, I like
the sounds of that.

Mom, you should come.

Oh no, I'm teaching sex
ed to the geriatrics

at the old folks home,
my favorite class.

Anyway, I will say this once

and I will say it
again and again,

the only thing
standing between you

and your happily ever
after is, ladies?

You!

Wait, this class-

You're too young.

Wait, water break.

- What?
- Stat.

Oh man, it's so hot, ooh.

Yeah, well, the
full body sweatsuit

probably isn't helping.

How far did I go?

Three quarters of a mile.

How close is that to a 5K?

- 5K is only three miles.
- Only?

Hey man, I still need to trim
a few lbs for your big day

'cause you know it's gonna
be all eyes on the big Boner

when I go strutting
down that aisle, boy.

Yeah, I actually gotta
talk to you about that, um-

What?

Well, Stacy doesn't think
I should have a best man.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

It's got something to do
with the calligraphy artist,

there's something, and
them writing things,

and too many people
standing up there with us.

Stacy thinks that-

What do you think, Jack?

I don't know, Boner.

It's time you figured it out.

Man, you lucky I'm
a chill dude, man.

I could go Boner berserk
on you right now,

like full on best
manzilla, but I won't.

You can go Boner berserk
on me if you want to.

Oh man, a true best man
stays true to this guy

even after losing the
title, everybody knows that,

but you do gotta let
me b*at you in that 5K.

- Deal.
- All right.

You okay to run this
last leg on your own?

I gotta go clear my head.

Yeah, go ahead man, I got this.

All right, love you, man.

Love you back, buddy.

Keep running, no sitting!

No sitting, I'm not sitting!

I have to say, I
am surprised he texted me.

Really?

I said, we gotta get these
dogs together for play date.

Look at them, they
love each other.

Yeah, I'm glad him and
Dakota are such good friends.

They are certainly fast friends.

I was actually thinking
about getting a second dog,

but like I told
you before, I mean,

Dakota's very picky about
the company that he keeps.

How long have you had him?

Um, since he was about this big.

Yeah, I actually found
him in a gas station.

I was, I was driving up to Maine

to go to my best friend
Bonner's wedding,

and pulling into this gas
station, and there he was,

this little thing.

He had his head buried in this
big bag of barbecue chips.

- That's cute.
- Yeah.

Okay, your friend Boner,
is that like a legal name?

No, it's his preferred nickname.

- That's incredible.
- It is.

He's actually a great guy,

but yeah, Dakota's been with
me ever since that trip.

Hm, he's lucky to have you.

Us humans don't always do
right by our animal friends.

Yeah, I agree.

I feel like adopting
Tucker was my way

of doing my one small part.

I don't know if
it's a small part.

I think it's a pretty
big deal to Tucker.

I'm hopeful, though.

I had the best connection
with my ex' dog, I loved him.

My ex, not so much.

I've never been flat on
my face in love before.

Flat on your face in love.

That sounds so painful.

I don't know, I just,

I guess I've never
really let someone in.

That way it doesn't hurt so
much when it doesn't work out.

That was weird and personal.

No, it wasn't weird.

That makes perfect sense to me.

My assistant just can
never put it in one text.

It's okay.

Hold on.

Frankie, I gotta go.

I gotta get back to the clinic.

Okay.

Can we finish this conversation
on our next play date?

At the next play date.

I'll, uh, sext you to set it up.

What?

Text you, I will text
you to set it up.

Sounds good.

God.

Dakota!

Can I help you?

Is Tara here?

I, I have a delivery for her.

You just missed her.

She left 15 minutes ago,

but I, I could, I could sign
that for you if you want.

Did her schedule change?

Ugh, there aren't any
paper towels in there.

You can use the hand dryer.

I won't be sticking these
into a tornado of hot germs.

- Hey!
- Hey, Jackie, babe!

What's going on?

I told you I wasn't working
at the clinic today.

Oh, I totally spaced.

You have a last
minute tux fitting.

What? That fitting is today?

Yes, ASAP.

The tailor needs as much
time to snip and sew

and make it fit this
body just right.

Let’s go.

Okay, okay.

Done, who's next?

What the?

Tuck, it's me!

Ugh, oh, good, you're
already sitting.

So listen up, the hot doc-

He's engaged.

Wait, how did you know that?

They are my next assignment.

Did they send one of those
like inspirational videos

or something to tell
you more about them?

No, hang on, let me see.

Hi, I'm Stacy Rue,

and this is my handsome hunky
hubs to be, Dr. Jack Shaw.

Hey, there.

We met when we were
in fifth grade.

He gave me a Fruit Roll-Up.

What flavor was it honey?

It was green apple
and it was so good,

and we just loved-

Okay, you know what?

I will finish this later.

It's fine.

Ugh, I'm devastated for you.

You think somebody
else at the Chronicle

should maybe write this instead?

I don’t know. I, I don't know.

Why I am feeling any sort
of emotion right now.

I'm not dating him.

My dog is friends with his dog.

He is my vet.

Doesn't get more
platonic than that.

We bagged poop
together, the end.

Yeah, but there were sparks.

Well, the sparks were
clearly in my head.

Your head actually,
you are the one

who came up with the sparks.

I'm good, I have nothing,

nothing, no emotion.

Completely dead inside,
so I'm, I'm cool.

I can write this piece

professionally,
objectively, ugh.

Yeah, doesn't really get
much worse than this.

Except it, it kind of
does because I'm scheduled

to do an in-person
interview with him tomorrow.

Yeah, what am I gonna do?

What, what, what is that face?

Francesca, nice to meet you.

Should we put you
in a trench coat?

No, it's way to
Inspector Gadget.

Should I really be doing this?

Yes, Dr. Jack Shaw or
Dr. Jerk Shaw, or whatever,

should have been
up front with you

and told you he was
off the market, okay?

Be careful who you mess with

because I will deliver your
packages across the street.

Melody, no, that is too far.

Fine, the orthodontist's
next door.

Woo!

Ha-ha!

Thoughts?

Okay.

Thank you so much
for meeting with us.

Yeah, thank you so much.

And I love your scarf, so chic.

Thank you.

Uh, now let us start
at the beginning.

Uh, tell me your,
your love story.

Ours is actually
really adorable.

Jackie here gave me a Fruit
Roll-Up in the sixth grade,

and it was love ever since.

Yeah.

Okay, I, I guess I was
hoping for more specifics

to give the piece some passion.

Uh, uh, when did you first
know you, you loved each other?

Uh...

Tell her, sweetie.

Okay, uh, where, where
are you from exactly?

Because, um, because your
accent's a little, um-

I'm up from Sweden.

Sweden?

Go on.

Okay, well, we, we,

well, it was middle
school, and we went to,

and we went to the movies.

We were holding hands in there.

Right, that was it, definitely.

Uh, wait, was it college?

No, no, no, no, 'cause
college you were long distance

and I was in my
sorority social chair.

Big responsibility.

Stacy's a natural leader.

And Jackie, here's
a natural follower.

That's why we fit just right.

Yeah, just right.

I basically locked him down
as soon as humanly possible.

So just, like, say we're
soulmates or something,

blah, blah, blah.

Okie dokie, I'll, I'll
fill in some details

to the blah, blah, blah.

Oh, also, more urgently,
can you please be sure

to spell the names of the
Prescott cousins correctly?

They're politicians
and oil people,

so they're weird about
media representation.

Yes.

Oh, and as far as great aunt
Ethel May goes, she's dead,

but she has it in her will
that she must be mentioned

in any published news
about the Prescott family.

Oh, sh**t.

I do know you.

- No.
- Frankie.

Yes.

Wait, you two know each other?

- Yes.
- No.

-Well, yes- -No, sort of.

Um, from the clinic.

It's our dogs.

Ugh, say no more.

Dog people, they're
own subculture.

Oh my God, apparently the
string quartet dropped out.

Stand by.

Why didn't you tell me you
were writing this piece?

Why didn't you tell
me you're engaged?

You didn't even bother to
mention you were engaged?

No, I didn't forget
to mention it.

It just didn't come
up organically.

And, and, and, and why
did you show up here,

pretend to be somebody else
wearing the world's largest hat

and sounding like the
third Mario brother?

Okay, I am the one that
works with the newspaper.

I will be asking the questions.

Okay, well, ask away.

I'm an open book.

Ha, an open book?

Okay, maybe you
are an open book,

but you have a secret
chapter called I'm Engaged.

Fair enough, look, I whiffed
on that one, all right?

But as, as, as dog
play date acquaintances

who only met up once,

did we really owe each other
those kind of specifics?

Nope, I guess not.

Okay, and technically,
I barely know you.

I mean, we met up, we
spent two hours together.

Two hours, what's that?

In the course of a
lifetime, it's nothing.

It's like a blip.

All I know is if I had a fiance,

I definitely would've
mentioned that.

Okay, well, you know, good
for you and your fake fiance.

Congratulations, by the way.

I'm very happy for you two.

Are you actually taking a
sh*t at me for being single?

No.

I guess I can add
smug and condescending

to the list of things
I know about you,

which now include being engaged.

I gotta tell you something,
Francesca, she's a real snake.

Oh, she is a
hard-hitting journalist.

Jackie, code orange, our
cellist has a hernia.

We have to go.

Okay, all right.

Well, thank you so much for
your time today, Frank-cesca.

Yes, thanks hon, tootles.

We'll be in touch.

I look forward to it.

I can't wait to write
about you two love birds.

All right, buddy, let's
take you off the leash.

Go on.

- Oh, man.
- There he is.

I wonder if I'd run fast if
I was running towards donuts.

Well, a desirable destination
is always a good motivator.

Hey, you're running every day,
that’s the most important thing,

It's habit building.

Hey, come on man, give
me a wedding update,

and please tell me it's better.

It's better.

I'm really in a
pickle here, Boner.

Why do people say that?

I'm in a pickle, I'm
really in a pickle.

Are you really in a pickle?

Just something my
grandmother used to say.

That's why I say it.

No, I totally get that.

I've heard her say it a bunch
too, but think about it.

I mean, a person stuck
inside of a pickle.

That's terrifying, bro.

Can you just let me say
what I was gonna say?

I'm sorry, that would have
to be one huge pickle!

Are you serious?

Yes, I'm serious.

All this pickle talk
making me hungry.

I know, but you you was talking.

Finish what you was, go ahead.

I'm having second thoughts.

About pickles?

My wedding to Stacy.

Oh, I wanna know,
let it out, bro!

It's, it's not, it's not that,
that I wanna call it off.

It's just that I'm,

I'm thinking about
that, doing that.

Look, if you not all in on
this wedding, bro, tap out now.

Nobody will be upset
with you if you did.

Yeah, except
everybody like Stacy

and all the Prescotts
on the eastern seaboard,

both dead and alive.

Well, your real friends
and family ain't like that.

Angela and I got your
back no matter what.

You were right, man,

Stacy and I don't have
anything in common.

I don't think she's
the one for me.

She's not.

I do still care
about her though,

but more of in a
nostalgic sort of way.

Does that make any sense?

Yeah, I still get warm and fuzzy

around Atari and G.I. Joe,

but I don't wanna marry 'em.

We need toys.

What would we even talk about?

I just think that Stacy
and I've grown into people

who just aren't a match
for each other anymore.

Hey buddy, what's going on?

- Oh my...
- What happened to him?

Totally messed up his paw.

Must have jammed
it on something.

Uh, I gotta get into the clinic.

I don't have my keys.
I gotta call Tara.

All right, call when you
get there, all right?

Let's go, I got him.

You're here on a weekend.

Hi.

Hi, you look really
nice in your skivvies,

in your civies.

I'm, I'm sorry, my what?

You're, you're not
wearing scrubs?

I, I've never seen you
in regular clothes.

Right, yeah, I had to open
the office for Dr. Jack.

He needs to get into the clinic

because his dog got
hurt pretty bad.

Oh, I'm really
sorry to hear that.

Uh, I can grab that package

and just throw it
behind the desk, yeah.

Um...

Did you wanna ask me something?

Yes, I, I do, yeah.

Um, would you like to
get drinks sometime,

or coffee, or we,
we can do like tacos

or, or, or food
if you're hungry.

Do you wanna take my number?

Yes, I would love that.

Great, um, yeah,
I'll, I'll put it in.

That's terrible.

Wait, what's terrible?

The part where I have
to get a new data plan

to keep up with Tara's
adorable texting sprees,

which I'm happy to do, or
the part about Jack's dog?

Obviously, the part
about Jack's dog.

Are you thinking of making a-

Frankie-feel-better basket?

I think I should, right?

For Dakota, not for Jack.

For Dakota.

I'm thinking maybe
like my regular basket,

but doggy style,
dog, dog edition.

Like a dog version.

Freudian slip,
I'll let that pass.

I know it's on your mind.

Uh, can I help you?

Hi, uh, do you by chance know
if Dr. Jack is still here?

I have a little biscuit
bouquet for Dakota.

Oh, he's gonna go
crazy for that.

Uh, how do you know Jack?

I'm Boner, by the way.

Boner, the legend himself.

Wow, uh, I'm Frankie.

Jack's my vet, and I'm
also writing the piece

about Jack and Stacy
for the Chronicle.

Oh nice!

Yeah, he should be right out.

He's just finishing up
with some vet mumbo jumbo.

Okay, well, I, I don't wanna
interrupt, so could you-

Hey buddy, is Angela
on a way to get you?

I'm about ready to-

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hey, how did, how did you
know I was gonna be here?

Oh, my roommate ran into Tara,

so I just wanted to drop off

a little care
package for Dakota.

Wow, thank you.

Bar, barbecue chips,
he's gonna love this.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Give Dakota a squeeze for me.

Let me know if you
guys need anything.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- It was nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Uh, quick question, uh,

now, is it just the dogs
that like each other,

or maybe, definitely, the
owners like each other too?

What's matter with you?

This is a nice gesture.

Okay, doc, whatever you say.

Hold this.

Okay.

All right, buddy, here we go.

Listen to me, I know you
hate it in here, all right?

But just try to rest
for tonight, okay?

Love you, pal.

Uh-uh-uh, don't touch it
until you wash your hands.

Wow, you look rough.

What, you're not
excited about your tux?

This is really hurting
my feelings, Jack.

I've told you how important
this wedding is to me

and I've been
doing all this work

to make it a beautiful
memory for us.

Dakota hurt his paw
really bad tonight.

Can I just have
a minute, please?

Ugh, you know what, Jack?

Sometimes I think you
care more about that dog

than you do me.

My needs are important too,

so snap out of it
and support me.

I'm not being followery
enough for you?

What?

That's what you called
me earlier, right?

Said I was a follower.

You know, you say
you're not a dog person,

but you actually treat
me like I'm your dog

most of the time, which
would make a lot of sense

'cause that's what, that's
what dogs do, right?

Dogs, dogs like to follow.

"Propose to me on
Christmas Eve, Jack."

I did that.

"Make sure it's
on a boat, Jack."

And I did that.

Do this, Jack, do that, Jack,

be this, Jack, be that, Jack.

You know what? I, I
can't do it anymore.

How dare you?

- Am I wrong?
- You are so wrong.

No, I'm not wrong.

And you know what?

I don't, I don't actually
need you to be a dog person,

but it would be nice if you
were an empathetic person to me,

and, and to Dakota.

And, and, and it would be so
great if every once in a while

you were someone who just
did normal things, you know?

- Like, like eat sandwich bread.
- Okay.

And admit to the fact
that you fart like ever.

Although, although you
did fart and I heard it,

100% heard you fart last
March, remember that?

Yeah, that's right, baby.

You had what? Food poisoning.

Remember, you were all like
delirious and you let one rip,

and it was big and
it stunk really bad.

And you know what? It was great,

because you were a
real person that night.

So what, Jack?

I don't, I don't pass enough gas

to be worthy of
becoming your wife?

This discussion is repugnant.

No, this discussion
is real, okay?

But, but, but we are not real.

We are, we are, we,
we are two people

that did the safest thing
that two people can do,

we met when we were 12.

We, we started dating
and said, that's it,

let's just be together
for the rest of our lives.

You know, I, I don't know

what kind of midlife crisis
you're approaching right now,

but it's a bad look for you.

You know I'm right.

You're not being
honest with yourself.

No, no, you're wrong, okay?

And now, now I'm
getting pissed, okay?

My face is getting hot

and this cooling snail mucin
gel is literally curling.

I'm just, I'm so blindsided

by this outburst of
immaturity from you.

It's so false that it just,
it must just not be you,

so I hope you
sleep it off, Jack.

I'm not-

Sleep? I'm not
even done talking.

You always storm off when
I'm not done talking.

Stacy, I'm not done talking.

So keep talking then.

No, I'm not gonna,

no, no, no, don't get in
bed please 'cause you're-

Jack, breaks
my heart to say

that you and I will
never see eye to eye

on the things in life
that are most important.

I think it's the end
of the road for us.

I'm gonna stay at my parents
for a few days, Stacy.

Come on, Tuck, you've
been in there all night.

Look, I have all
these leashes for you

to try on for your party, huh?

No, okay.

What about food?

You love food, bud.

Hello, this is Frankie.

Hello, Frankie, this
is Nathaniel Wethers,

the coordinator of the
Rue/Shawn nuptials.

Oh, hi.

I had a bit of news.

The wedding is postponed.

Indefinitely.

You're out of a story,

and I'm being forced to
let perfectly passed decor

go to waste.

Wait, Jack and Stacy
aren't getting married?

A Prescott family PR rep called
me and told me to hold off

and not run anything
until further notice.

I see.

Uh, do you, uh, by chance
know what happened?

Well, off the record,

Stacy told me her and
Jack were no more.

I guess I should have
said off the record

at the beginning
of the call, no?

Oops.

No, no, it, it's fine.

I just, I hope
everything's okay.

Uh, thank you so much
for letting me know.

I hope you have another pair
to write about this week.

Actually, I do.

Uh, I have the perfect couple,

but I could use your
help with something.

What kind of extra decor
do you have lying around?

Hey.

- Come here, bro.
- What's up, man?

Come here, man.

Hey, I'm sorry, man.

It's okay, I really
appreciate you

letting us stay here
with you and Ang.

Anytime, man, anytime.

Look at you, you single for
the first time in forever.

Yeah, I don't, I don't really
know what I am right now.

Come on, let's go in there, man.

Let's get this party started.

Get in this pool, man.

What are you doing out here?

Cheers.

Cheers, I appreciate you, buddy.

Mm.

Anytime.

I got a question for you.

All right, fire away.

You think I'd be a good dog dad?

I think you'd be
the best dog dad.

Are you and Angela thinking
about getting a dog?

Yeah, yeah, we, we
getting pretty close

to something like that.

That's awesome.

Yeah, I guess I just
hope I do a good job

of taking care of it,
like you do with Dakota.

You're gonna do great,
no doubt about it.

- You're right, I can do it.
- You can.

- It's gonna be a big job though.
- Yeah, it is.

But you dropped trou
and get in his pool.

I'm not getting,
I'm not swimming.

You swim now, we're
gonna be running later.

No running, nope, nope!

God, why don't you put

that down and be in the moment?

Last text, I promise.

You are so lovesick.

She really is.

I don't think I've ever
seen her like this.

I really am.

It's just we've
both been so busy

that our entire relationship's
just been on here.

But she's coming to Tucker's.

Speaking of, you did
invite Dr. Jack, right?

Who?

He's like the perfect
human man, okay?

He's like a sexy
animal-loving doctor.

Sexy animal-loving doctor?

I like the sounds of it a lot.

- And he's single.
- And he's single.

Well, what more could you want?

But there are things
I need to know

like what if he
likes water beds?

Oh, right.

- Or listens to AM radio.
- Deep question.

Or puts ketchup on steak.

- No, who does that?
- Ew!

Come on, how long are you
gonna keep this up for?

Exactly, don't you
feel that little tug?

There's a little tug
going on in your heart.

It's saying it's the future.

"Come to me, come to me.

The past is the past
and the present is now."

And you know what?

The future is right
around the corner,

faster than you think.

- Yeah, date him, come on.
- Come on.

Date this guy.

He was engaged. It's
very, it's very messy.

Messy?

Life is messy, honey.

There's something
knocking at your door

and it is a perhaps soulmate.

I can't believe

that you're not the least bit
interested in that, come on.

Tucker's the only man I
really need in my life.

You know you can have Tucker
and a human man too, right?

That's very true,
that's very true.

How are you gonna
be open to love

if you don't find yourself
opening yourself open to love?

Does that make any sense?

- I think so.
- Okay, thanks.

What about fate?

What if I leave it
up to the stars?

You're gonna leave it up to
luminous clusters of gas?

No, I like fate.

Fate, fate has its hand
and everything, you know?

If you let it guide you, you'll
end up where you need to go.

See, your mom is very wise.

That's right.

- Wise and a little bit...
- Don’t.

Beautiful, so beautiful.

- Yeah, that's right.
- So beautiful.

That's the right one.

You know, procrastination
is really cute

when you're young,
but it's not so cute

when you're hitting 40.

I am 40 in like 10 years.

Well, it comes faster
than you think.

You know, you're older right
now than you were before.

You're older now,
and right now, now,

- now you’re older...
- Mom, you're insane!

Now you're older,
now you're older.

Well, that's what happens
when you get to be my age,

you get to be insane.

You're right about that.

Hey, listen, I love
you both, but I'm good.

I am, I'm doing me.

Okay, let's see if
fate sets us free.

Huh, cheers to that.

Cheers to that.

Wait, are you gonna put
syrup on this thing?

Okay, you catch it.

Morning, you two!

Hi!

Wow, hey, we're gonna be outta
your hair soon, I promise.

Oh no, it's fine.

We love having you
and Dakota here.

Yeah, man, stay as
long as you need.

Dakota can heal and have a yard.

We really don't
mind, you're family.

Thanks, guys, I'm already
looking for a place though,

and eventually, you will
need your guest room back.

Oop, about that oop,

something we should
probably tell you.

- On three, right?
- One, two, three.

We're pregnant.

What?

Well, I'm not pregnant,
she's pregnant,

but I did help out.

Are you-

No way!

Give me a hug.

Come here, bring it
in, oh my goodness.

I knew it, I knew it!

Yesterday, all that talk
about you being a dog dad,

that was all just a front man.

- We're having a baby.
- A baby.

Wow.

I hope that you are
ready to be Uncle Jack.

I am ready to be the
best Uncle Jack ever.

When are you guys due?

Um, six months,

so we don't need the guest
room back until then.

Is it a boy or girl?

Oh, we want a full
surprise on that.

That is so awesome.

I'm so happy for you two!

We love you, Jack.

Love you guys too.

Um, aren't you guys supposed
to be training for the 5K?

Yeah, what, what do you
mean supposed to be?

We're training, right,

what are you wearing?

Why would you bring that up?

Two miles right now,
let's go, get dressed.

Come on, we were
having a good time,

we're talking about the baby,

and how can you bring up-

We're training!

We was talking about
the baby and everything,

everybody was happy.

Thank you.

All right, don't tell him.

I won't.

What do you guys think?

That one.

Now, that one is
exactly perfect,

just like all the other
20 that you showed us.

I don't know.

I just, I want something
that's effortlessly cool.

I want her to fall
in love with me.

She is gonna love you
with or without clothes.

Mom.

I mean, get your mind
out of the gutter.

The clothes do not
make the woman.

You're beautiful.

Thank you.

Ooh.

Oh no.

It's her.

Hello?

How long do we think
she's gonna be gone?

Well, how long is forever?

I agree.

Go!

Can I ask you some,
some fatherly advice

since you're gonna be a dad now?

Yeah, sure, I can practice.

What do you need, son?

Well, I've been thinking
a lot about this girl.

Who you thinking about buddy?

Is it a hot celeb?

Oh, I bet she hot.

Is it Jennifer Lopez?

No, Judy Dench.

No, Judd Nelson.

Will you just let me finish?

Well, give me a hint.

Does the name start
with the letter J?

It's Frankie.

Frankie, Frankie, barbecue,
chips and biscuits girl?

Yes.

I knew I saw something
between y'all.

She is awesome.

Now, she should be
your new girlfriend.

Well, look, I don't,

I don't know if she's
interested in me like that.

You want me to gas you up, huh?

See, it's rude to make
a man that looks like me

reassure a guy that looks like
you that he's still got game.

That's borderline bullying.

I, I, I just never,

I've never dated anyone
who's an adult, Boner.

Okay, just sh**t
her a text message.

Say, "What's up?"

sh**t her a text and
say, "What's up?"

I can't do that,
I'm a grown man.

Okay, I don't know.

Put your spin on it.

Yeah, see, but that's,
that's the thing.

We're in this kind of
weird space right now

where we're, we're
friends, you know?

But I don't, I don't know
if she likes me like that.

I mean, I, I think she likes me

and I, I think I'm
interested in her,

but I don't know, like,

maybe I like her more
than she likes me

and that would be awkward,

or maybe she doesn't
like me at all,

and then that would
be disappointing.

You know, it's, it's
a very delicate dance.

Yeah, nobody's ever
done it before.

Let me see your phone.

- What are you gonna do?
- Just let me see your phone.

Are you gonna do a
little draft for me?

Hey, apple pie.

Wait, apple pie?

Why you putting
apple pie in there?

What are you, what
are you doing?

All right, hey,
can I have it back?

-Just be cool, I'm still,
just- -Can I have it back?

Can I just have it? Give it!

Hey man, don't do
that! You pressed send?

You just pressed send?

- Yes.
- Why did you send that?

What?

Apple pie?

This is a terrible text.

You put a bunch of
random letters in there too.

Look at this.

That's from you trying to
snatch the phone back from me.

Why would you do that?

I just...

Apple.

Is that her?

- Wait a minute.
- What'd she say?

Hold on, she said
"Hi, lol, home slice.

I'd love to meet you later."

Still got it!

I still got it.

Oh man, I still got it.

All right, all right,
finish warming up.

Okay.

- Boner!
- Okay.

So what's gonna happen to
the custom Italian tuxedo?

Um, I think that'll
probably stay with Stacy.

I know it sounds crazy,

but she, she loves that tux.

Okay.

You know, I'm getting a
sense it's not in total shock

that things didn't work
out between you two.

Well, she's gonna
make a good wife

for somebody that just isn't me.

And everything that Stacy
and I had was in the past,

and whenever we did
talk about the future,

it just, we never
really aligned.

In what way?

Well, I always knew I
wanted a family, you know?

I don't think deep down

Stacy really thought
about that much.

And I always wanted
to have three kids,

and, you know,
Stacy wanted to have

three international
vacations a year.

Oh boy.

Yeah, for me, vacations were
just going back and forth

to the lake and swimming all day

and eating cheese out of a can.

Which by the way, if
you haven't tried,

canned cheese,
highly underrated.

Are you kidding?

I love canned cheese.

- Really?
- Yes.

My whole family would have
canned cheese and crackers

on all of our camping trips.

Mm?

Yeah.

You know, my
parents actually met

hiking the Appalachian Trail,

so all of our trips growing
up were all outdoors,

just rope swings and the water.

Just a simple life, you know?

It was the best.

That sounds perfect.

How often do you
see your family?

Uh, not ever.

Actually, my parents passed
away right before I turned 14.

And my sister and I, we don't
really have a relationship.

I wish we did, but
she's not interested.

I think maybe I remind
her of sad days,

so it's just Tuck and me.

So I hope his 14th birthday
goes a little bit better

than mine did.

You're a really strong
person, Frankie.

I appreciate you saying that.

I'm not really that strong.

I just keep everything
locked up, you know?

Airtight and sealed shut.

I see.

I don't let a lot
of people in here.

Well, I feel honored to be
standing at the doorway then,

you know, with the hopes of
maybe being invited in one day.

What are you doing
tomorrow night?

I have no plans tomorrow.

No plans?

Well, it is Tucker's
official birthday party.

Mm.

And he is the guest of honor,

but you're a close second
considering you saved his life,

so if you and Dakota
would like to come by.

Well, Dakota just
get out of his cone,

and I know if he sees
Tucker, he's gonna go nuts,

so I'll probably keep him home,

but how about if
I just came solo?

I would like that.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

There is no pressure
to come though.

You, you don't have to.

I wanna be there.

I wouldn't miss it for
anything in the world.

You got a little.

What do we think about
these, Tuck, huh?

Okay, one day you'll be
very impressed with me.

Just not today.

It's happening.

- What?
- I have the day off

so I can finally go on
that date with Tara.

It's like your gas
clusters are hard at work.

She's planned a whole day
full of my favorite things.

Like, who knows where
this could lead?

Don't you think this is
moving a little fast?

I know I could get my heart
pancaked by this girl,

but I'm gonna go for it.

Okay.

You take that leap.

All right, well, I will
see you later tonight,

and hopefully with Tara.

Uh, by the way, I
did invite Dr. Jack

and he is stopping by.

Frankie, yes, this is a leap!

Well, it's like a
little mini leap, so.

That's amazing.

350 Degrees
oven, 40 minutes.

What are
you making, buddy?

- Breakfast for dinner.
- Ooh.

Angela's at a girl's night,
so Boner's cooking for one.

Well, two, if you count Dakota.

Are you with me?

Look at you, you looking good.

- Thanks man.
- Flowers are a good touch, nice.

Yeah, I think I'm ready.

- Oh, you ready.
- All right, I'm off then.

All right, I'm not gonna
even wish you good luck

'cause you don't need it.

Have fun, champ.

Thanks, man. Love you, bro.

- Love you back, man.
- All right.

Get that, Dakota.

Not today, it ain't.

What the?

Whoa, oh!

Oh, man.

Oh, man!

Dakota, call 911!

Dakota, I messed up the
casserole so I'm ordering pizza.

Dakota?

Dakota!

Oh, no!

Dakota!

Dakota!

What's up, buddy?

Dakota got out and I
don't know where he is.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm gonna find him.

Did you see which way you went?

No, no, I'm
gonna get that dog.

I'm gonna go get that dog.

I'm on it.

Dakota!

This is why I don't
take the leap.

Dakota!

Dakota!

Dakota!

Dakota!

Stacy, I can't talk
to you right now.

If you're looking for someone,
I think I know where he is.

Hey.

Hey.

Came by to grab a few things
and he was at my back doorstep.

Hey buddy, you know
better than that.

Get off the couch.

That's fine.

It's fine?

Since when?

Since now.

Who cares?

I've got a soul in here.

Okay, well thanks
for calling me.

We gotta get going.

I actually have to be somewhere.

Uh, Jack.

These last few days,

I've thought a lot about things.

What about you?

Yeah, yeah, I've thought
a lot about things too.

And you were right, at times
I have been a follower,

but I also started a
successful business

and I've been a leader there,

and I've taken care of a lot
of animals and a lot of dogs,

and, and regular old
people mean a lot to me.

You never wanted
to be Mrs. Shaw.

That's how I know

that this is definitely
the end of the road for us.

This is really it.

Copy, plan B it is.

Dylan, you can come out now.

Hey, Dr. Shaw.

Dylan?

Yes, after you and I
called off the wedding,

Dylan and I accidentally had sex

in the medical supply closet
at your office three times.

Five times.

You're not gonna fire me
for this, are you, doc?

- Yeah.
- Hey, I got him, he's fine.

Holy cannoli, I'm sorry
I left the door open.

It was an accident.

It's all good.

I mean it, don't b*at
yourself up over it, okay?

Have you been running
this whole time?

I don't know, have I?

Check your steps on your
phone, the app for the 5K.

Okay, hold on.

It says 5.3 miles.

How many Ks is that?

Boner, you just ran
8.5 kilometers, buddy.

What? That's crazy.

Good job, man, good job.

I definitely tore
up these hammies.

Oh, oh good, that you found him.

Okay, good.

Hey, lady,
date's still going.

We completely lost
track of time.

Heading to Tara's now.

Ugh, I'm gonna miss the
party and I'm really sorry.

Hope you're having
fun with Jack though

and I'll see you in the morning.

Hi.

Listen, I, I am obviously
running horribly late

to Tucker's birthday
party, but I am on my way.

Uh, the craziest thing
happened, Dakota got out.

Anyway, he ran to Stacy's.

I had to get him from there.

Jack, it's fine.

You don't have to come by.

No, no, no, I, I
actually wanna come.

I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm on my way.

I am very familiar with
people not showing up.

This, this, this
is not like that.

Two weeks from today you were
set to marry someone else.

This is too much way too soon.

How do I fix it?

There's nothing to fix.

Honestly, it's not even
about you, it's about me.

I am, I'm done letting
people disappoint me.

Sounds like you're
pulling a Tucker here, Frankie.

Oh Tucker, the dog who
wants nothing to do with me?

How so, Jack?

You're retreating
into your crate.

Well, maybe I feel
safe in my crate.

Maybe my crate is only
big enough for me.

So that's
it, you're just-

Yeah.

You're gonna just
spend the rest of your life

by yourself in your crate?

And yes, you should answer that.

Hi.

Hi, I told you you
don't need to come by.

No, but I did need to come by

'cause if we could
just stay here

with the whole crate
metaphor for a minute,

um, I don't wanna sound crazy,

but what about if we try
a co-create situation?

What?

No, co-crate situation.

Jack, I'm sure there are
plenty of adorable dogs

who would love to
share a crate with you.

You will have no
problem with that.

I just happen to be the
first one you ran into

in the middle of the street.

No, no, no, no, no, no, it's,
it's, it's not like that.

It's, it's, it's actually
way, way more than that, um,

because the truth
is, Frankie, I, I-

Jack, it's late.

We're all good here.

Okay, all right.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Good night.

Good night, Frankie.

Hello, ladies.

Where are you, uh, going?

I'm taking fate
into my own hands.

I'm moving out, hiking
the Appalachian Trail.

You're what?

Uh, I'm going to go
use the bathroom.

I, I don't understand.

Is this because of Jack?

No, no, no, no, I'm
gonna take a little time

and figure out my stuff.

And honestly, I, I'm so
sick of listening to people

talk about their
happily ever after, so.

You're quitting your job?

Yeah, I am.

But first I'm gonna go

to this sweet old couple's
vow renewal at the beach

'cause they're so adorable and
I have a surprise for them,

and then I'm out.

Come on, Tuck.

We gotta go, buddy.

Tucker, we have to go.

Mel, can you please
watch Tucker?

Yeah, of course.

Clearly, he doesn't wanna
come with me right now, so.

Now you do this?

Hey, how's it going in here?

Apparently you
have to wash the onesies

before the baby shows up.

The to-do list grows.

Well, Boner will have
plenty of time to help you

after the race today, and I'm
always a phone call away, too.

Pretty wild week for you, huh?

Yeah, it's been,
it's been a week,

but everybody's happy now, so.

Hm, I wouldn't say everybody.

You aim to please, Jack,

and that is what makes you a
good doctor and a good person.

I just wonder,

maybe it doesn't have to
be done-done with Frankie.

She gave me the boot, Ang.

I don't, I don't think
she's too interested.

But you deserve happiness too,

and I know that I'm an overly
emotional pregnant lady,

I have seen you fight to
help so many over the years,

Boner, me, thousands of animals.

Go fight for the
girl that you want.

You know I'm right.

Now go eat something.

Love you, Ang.

Here we go!

And the steps, decorative
wall flying in.

Okay.

Here we go.

Hi.

To,
to, to, to, to, to.

What is all of this?

My goodness.

I am so sorry for interrupting,
but I was so inspired

by your and Edna's story,

and, and two special
people deserve something.

- Posh.
- Yeah.

Oh wow, I am sure Edna's
going to be thrilled

when she sees it.

You're all staying for
the ceremony, right?

Oh, that is so-

Count us in!

Who does not love love?

Merci! Woo!

You doing all right?

Man, even my
knees are sweating.

It's okay, man.

Look, we're keeping
up a good pace.

That's the most important thing.

Gotta keep on trucking.

Man, I just noticed,

we separated from the pack.

There's nobody around us, man.

We're in first place.

Actually, we're
running dead last.

- What?
- Yeah.

Man.

Here it is, finish line,
buddy, let's do this.

Yeah?

Oh, that's awesome.

Oh.

Huh?

Not really supposed to
be stopping here, bud.

I couldn't cross the line

without letting you
know something first.

What is it bro?

I slept with Stacy, too.

What?

I'm just messing with you, man.

What are you-

Oh, that's gross, I've never.

Oh, but this is real though,

I've always admired you for
being healthy and athletic,

and I never thought
I could be like that

'cause I've always just
been the big bone, you know?

I thought that's
what I'd always be,

but now that I got Angela
and the new baby on the way,

I found something that makes
me wanna be a better man,

and you taught me that I can
make that change a reality.

Now, you tell me, what
do you have in your life

that makes you want
to be a better man?

And you put it in your mind

and we can cross this
finish line together.

Tara?

Dr. Shaw, what are
you doing here?

What, what are you doing here?

I'm actually
looking for Frankie.

Well, she's gone,
you missed her.

Oh, okay, well, that's
not, that's not good.

You know when she's
gonna be back?

She's not coming
back, she's moving.

Moving?

Oh, wait a minute,
wait a minute, you're,

you're Frankie's roommate,
but you're also Tara's-

Girlfriend.

Oh, oh, that's good.

Wow, I guess everybody's
really finding love

down at my pet clinic, huh?

Except for me, of course,
because like you said,

you know, Frankie's moving,
so my dreams are dashed.

That's how the cookie's
gonna be crumbling for me,

but I'm really
happy for you two.

That's great.

Fine, she said she
had one last wedding

about three miles down
the beach that way.

Three miles down the beach
back from where I just came.

Okay, thank you ladies.

I'll see you around.

You want a ride?

No, I'm good, thank you!

Wait, I think you should
take somebody with you!

Come on, this way.

Oh, there they are.

Come on.

This way, come on.

The ceremony can begin.

Dearly beloved.

Hey, there.

What are you doing?

What is he doing here?

Okay, well, first of
all, hi, how are you?

Secondly, Tucker went nuts
when you walked out the door,

so clearly, he
loves his dog mom.

Oh, okay, can, should
we do this later?

Well, no, I kind of
really need to do this now

because I just had
to see you right now.

Actually, I wanna
see you every day.

I'm, I'm crazy about you.

Jack.

Listen, I wanna hike the
Appalachian Trails with you,

with our dogs, okay?

I wanna jump into
a river with you,

off a rope swing, and one day,

I wanna take our kids back

to do the same
thing with us, okay?

But, but, but before
we do any of that,

I would love to take you
out in a proper first date.

Do you?

Yes, I do.

You make kiss the bride.

So beautiful.

Keep it together.

Keep it together.

Woo, y'all bring it in.

Bonner got a speech, let's go.

Um, as a proud and
now experienced member

of the distance
running community,

I, I've learned a few things.

When you can no longer
run with your legs,

you gotta run with your heart.

And when life hand you lemons,

y'all better make that lemonade

'cause knowledge is power.

And don't let the
fear of striking out

keep you from playing the game.

Now, you never heard anybody
famous say any of these quotes.

These are all Boner originals.

Cheers to us, everybody, cheers!

- Cheers, cheers, cheers!
- Woo, yeah, buddy!

Cheers to
you, little guy.

Or little man, little man?

There you go.

- You good, babe?
- Yep.

All right, let's do it.

Let's do it, come here.

Give me your hand.

All right, there we go, okay.

You know, I never thought

I'd be making my own happy
couple video, but here we are.

- Yeah.
- Happy couple.

That's right.

Should I start or
do you wanna start?

Oh, you go ahead.

I love hearing you talk
about how much you love me.

Okay, well, I, I do love
you, but here we go, okay.

So it all started
at a crosswalk.

Come on, hold my hand.

- You got him?
- Yeah.

Come on.

Good boy.

Good boy, come on!

- Come on.
- Good boy.

You're a good boy.

Good boy.

Good boy, yeah.

Good boy, there
you are, come on.

Come on!
