02x15 - Terry Holliway

[bunniefuu]

Van, do not write
that in her book.

It says to write down her first
word, and that was her first word.

"Sausages."

Jake, did you hear
her say "sausages"?

I don't know. Did i, van?

Where have you been?

Um... Oh, I remember.
None of your business.

Hey, kyra, guess what
elizabeth's first word was.

"Help"?

hey, kyra. Glad you're back.

Yeah, she's finally home. A half hour late.
Feel free to punish her in front of us.

Cheyenne, she called and
asked, and I said it was okay.

Paperwork's on your desk.

We'll be in the kitchen.

All this talk of
sausages made me hungry.

[knocking]

Hey, reba. Uh, cheyenne, could
I have a minute with your mom?

Don't just be barging in
here ordering everybody

Around 'cause you've
got something to say.

Cheyenne still lives here.

It's about terry holliway.

Go live in the kitchen.

Fine. I got a lot better things to do
than listen to your boring secrets.

You talked to
terry? What'd he say?

No, not him. His
brother mike called. He's

Throwing a party for
him. He wants us to come.

Why would he do
that? Terry hates us.

Who's terry holliway, and
why does he hate you? Cheyenne!

I gotta tell van
something, so either tell

Me what happened, or
I'll make something up.

All right. We all
worked together in a bar.

Terry was our best friend, and
he kind of had a thing for your mom.

Ooh, way to go, hot stuff!

Well, it's not as
great as it sounds.

It ended badly, and we
haven't talked to him in 25 years.

What do you say we go
back and mend some fences?

It'll be great to see him again,
and I'm sure he's over that by now.

Ah, I don't know, brock. I'm not
the kind of woman a man gets over.

[reba] ha, hey!

♪ my roots are
planted in the past ♪

♪ though my life
is changing fast ♪

works too hard ♪

Here you go. I
remember this luggage.

This was a wedding present
from my mother. Yeah.

Ironic, seeing as how when I left
here, I had my clothes in a grocery bag.

Sure wish I could
go with you guys,

But somebody's gotta
stay and watch henry.

And you know how it is when
old friends get together,

And all those old emotions
bubble to the surface.

You know... [Gurgles, laughs]

Nobody wants old
ball and chain around.

Thanks for understanding.

Ah, honey, it's
just for one night.

Right. One night.

One far-away-from-home,
sleeping-in-a-hotel-with-your-

Ex, getting-sloppy-drunk night.

And her lookin' all sassy.

Baby. I'll be packing the car.

Don't worry, barbra jean. If
he tries to rekindle anything,

I'll just knock him upside the
head with his mama's suitcase.

Kids, I'm going! And I'm not!

[Brock] look at this place.

I can't believe we're
doing this. Oh, reba, relax.

I know you're nervous. Hell,
I'm nervous too. Nervous?

Good lord, brock. My stomach feels
like it's full of firecrackers and vinegar.

Oh, that might be
the coffee though.

Wow. So that's what this
door looks like sober.

Oh, this is so weird. It's like we're


Yeah, that was a great time.

Who knew back then that your
best years were already behind ya?

[Laughs] after you.

Okay, say it again.

I need to hear it one more
time if we're gonna do this.

I love you, brock.
That's all I need.

With that I can climb the highest
mountain or swim the deepest sea.

Okay, go tell terry
you're leaving him.

Me? Why don't you go tell
him? Well, he's your boyfriend.

Well, he's your
best friend. Exactly.

We've been friends for 10 years. You
guys have only been going out for two.

He's crazy about me.

- Hey, there's
the love of my life.
- I'm here too.

[All laughing]

Where you been with my girl,
brock? Tryin' to get me jealous?

No, man. We were just... Terry, I
need to talk to you for a second.

Hang on. There's somethin'
I wanna show you first.

Huh? [Laughs] could
you believe it?

I'm askin' reba to marry me.

Look at that. Well, will
you... Will you look at that.

[Laughs] look at that.

And all this time I figured
you'd be the first casualty.

anyway, uh, I'd like you
to be my best man, brock.

Oh, terry, man. I don't
think I can do that.

Oh, you're doin' it, pal. You
are not gettin' out of this one.

Terry, stop. No. No. It's me.
It's not him. No, I can't. Really.

Reba. I love him. I'm
sorry, but I love him.

What were you
guys talkin' about?

You love him?

Nice job, brock. Well, I
wasn't just gonna blurt it out.

It happened, terry.

I guess I felt our relationship
wasn't goin' anywhere.

[Sighs] is that...

Oh, yeah, it is.

Well... [Clears throat] I don't
feel like a stupid idiot at all.

Oh, no, man.
You're not an idiot.

Yeah, you're right. You are.

What... No, no.
No one is. Terry.

I don't think there's
an idiot involved here.

Maybe we should talk about
this in the parking lot, brock.

Is that really safe? I mean,
cars coming in and out.

You're fired, reba.
I'll see you outside.

Oh, hey. Terry! Terry! Look, wait
a second! Terry! Just a second!

Well, all in all, I think
that went pretty well.

- Jake, what are you doing?
- Eating icing.

Buddy, you can't eat icing
straight out of the can.

You gotta put it on bread.

What are you guys
doing? Making sandwiches.

Mmm.

I know I'm late. I should have
called. I'm a bad, bad person.

Kyra, I've decided that
I don't want to fight.

I'm gonna trust you. So
if you're late, who cares?

Yeah. Where were you? Ha,
ha! No one wants to know.

But I did get your favorite
dinner. Mac and cheese wheels.

Mac and cheese wheels was my
favorite when I was, like, eight.

Sorry to want to
include you in our fun.

Not as sorry as I
was to be included.

I'm spending the
night at gabby's.

- No, I don't think so.
- What happened to trusting me?

Hey, I'll trust you when
you show me a little respect.

Don't hold your breath. You
stay here and enjoy being blonde.

Van, prevent her.

[Laughs] prevent kyra?

Couldn't I just stick
my hand in the blender?

Bye now.

Hmm.

Where the heck is everybody?

Hey, there's mike.

Hey, what do you have to
do to get a drink in this dump?

Oh, hey! Hey, brock! Reba!
Oh, I'm so glad you came.

- Oh, good to see you.
- So, how's married life?

Over.

- We're divorced.
- No way.

Way. Marriage is a
lot of give and take,

And brock was more
than I could take. [Laughs]

Oh, so you're puttin' the band back
together for the party tonight.

Yeah. Listen, about the party...
Does terry know we're coming?

No, he doesn't.
Oh, great, great.

Watch what I'm gonna do
when he comes in. No, brock.

- I can't wait to see
the look on terry's face.
- Listen, reba.

How is the old bag of
dirt anyway? Terry's dead.

He died last thursday.

Surprise! Oh, man.
This is gonna k*ll him.

I can't believe it. I can't
believe terry's dead.

I can't believe terry's dead,
and we brought him a juicer.

Mike, why'd you tell
me it was a party?

If I had told you the truth,
would you have come?

- Yes.
- Really?

Of course. After what
you two did, I wouldn't.

How can you joke
at a time like this?

Oh, come on, reba! Terry would
have wanted us to have a good time.

The man would have
done anything for a laugh.

Wait a minute. You dog!
This is a trick, isn't it?

Oh, of course it is! He's just gettin'
us back, tryin' to make us feel guilty.

All right, where is
he? Where's terry at?

Only the good die young,
and he wasn't good! [Laughing]

Terry's dead.

Oh, and we're so very sorry.

He was a good man.

He was very sick, and now
he's not. But he had a good life.

Did he ever talk about
us much after we left?

No, but I did find this
going through his office.

- It's addressed to you both.
- What's it say?

Oh, I don't know. The
only thing I do know:

- He already had a juicer.
- You're bad.

You're bad! You're
just flat-out sick.

[Clears throat]

[Deep voice] front desk.

Hey. Hey, buddy.

Could you please connect
me to dr. Brock hart's room.

[Normal voice] yes,
it's his wife again!

No answer? Um, okay.

Well, is there a reba
hart registered there too?

No, no, no. I don't want
you to ring her room,

Um, but would you be willing
to go and listen at the door?

Because she looks
sassy! That's why!

[Knocking]

Kyra! Is everything all right?

No. She's four years older than
me, but she treats me like a child.

Like I can't make better decisions
about my life than she did with hers.

[Scoffs] your mother is more
than four years older than you.

Cheyenne. I want to call my mom.
Do you have the number of the hotel?

No. [Giggles]

And even if I did, I'm sure the people
at the front desk are obnoxious.

Plus it's not like I need
to check up on them. Right?

Why would you even think that?

I don't. I did.

I do. Well, I tried not
to, but I did... Do. Cheese?

Barbra jean, I don't know if you get
this, but my mom is totally over my dad,

And my dad is over her.

I know. I'm stupid,
stupid, stupid.

No, you're just
assuming the worst.

At some point, you
have to trust people.

That's the same thing
the private detective said.

So you and cheyenne
had a fight, huh?

Did you tell her you
were comin' over here?

I did. I will. I
didn't. I'm going to.

Cheese?

Reba, you know
what just kills me?

Why did we let so
much time go by?

I mean, I can't believe that
neither one of us had the guts...

To come back here
and get some closure.

Well... What do
you mean, "well"?

Well, I sorta did.

No, you didn't.
Yeah, a little bit.

[Laughs] well, what the hell
is that supposed to mean?

Well, we were very
close, terry and me.

I wanted to let him
down easy. How easy?

Three or four times easy.

Oh, whoa, whoa,
whoa! Hold on here!

You mean to tell me that after we
started going out, you cheated on me?

Cheated? Well, that's the
pot calling the kettle brock!

And, no, we just talked. [Sighs]

But that was just dragging
it out, so eventually

I told him I couldn't
see him anymore.

Yeah? How'd he take it?

His last words to me were
"I'll never get over you."

you're lucky.

His last words to me were
"unlock that car door!"

[Smacking lips]

Hit me. You have 19.

But I want to get 21.

You don't have to get 21. You
just don't want to go over 21.

- Nineteen is a great
blackjack hand.
- Oh. Okay, I'll stay.

Twenty. I win again.

[knocking]

- hey.
- I called him.

I can't believe you did
that. I didn't want them

To know where I was. I
wanted them to worry.

Well, I'm sorry, but I gotta
do what's best for you,

No matter how it
affects our relationship.

Here are your pop-tarts.
And I had a craving.

I know what you're gonna say.

Good. Then I won't have to say it and
listen to all your smart-aleck comments.

You're gonna tell me, "cheyenne
is only trying to protect you."

And you're gonna say
somethin' super clever

About how she should
have protected herself...

Before she got knocked up at 17.

[Laughs] hilarious!

Then you'll get that smug look
on your face, because once again...

Kyra has won the exchange
with the dimwitted van.

Five-card draw. Jacks
or better to open.

- I don't think
you're dimwitted.
- Right.

And I'm so stupid, I
believe that. Duh!

Can you open?

All right. Open for
two. How many cards?

Three. It's cheyenne
that's dimwitted.

Cheyenne's my
wife, and I love her.

And she also happens to be
your sister and loves you a lot.

- Dealer stands pat.
- She doesn't love me.

Oh, will you stop
being so unbelievably 14!

I bet three.

She even admires
you, you little jerk.

Yeah, right. Three
and three more.

She does. I mean, you make
honor roll every semester.

She never did that. I call you.

She was too busy
doing pep squad.

Do you get that the way
you look down at pep squad...

Is exactly the way you
accuse them of looking at you?

I don't like this van.

I like the dumb van.

Two pair. Kings over nines.

Ah, straight. Eight high.

So here's what I
came over to tell you.

Cheyenne is only
trying to protect you.

That's not a straight. What?

Three, four, five, seven, eight?

It's not a straight,
you dope. I win.

Well, who cares? It's
barbra jean's money anyway.

"But I did get to write two good
songs out of the experience.

"One is a slow ballad
called 'now that you've gone, '

"And the other is
a rocker called...

'If you ever unlock that
door, you're a dead man.'"

You know, just to clarify,
that door wasn't locked.

It was... Stuck.

"But as time went on, I actually
started to understand what happened.

"It was hard to watch you sing
and not fall in love with you, reba.

"It was hard to watch you do
anything and not fall in love with you.

"And I'd like to believe
the only reason I lost out...

"Is because you two were
meant for each other.

"Be happy. Have a
good life together.

"Don't screw it up, brock.

Love, terry."

He said don't screw
it up, you idiot!

Ow!

So do you regret it, reba...
Picking me instead of him?

Of course I do, you moron.

If I'd have picked him, I'd
have had me a bar now.

You know, you'd be surprised how
few regrets I really do have, brock.

What do you say, reba?
I think terry would've

Liked it if you sang
that song he loved.

Oh, mike, I don't even know if I
know the words to that song.

Go on. Sing it for terry.
