02x07 - Attractor

[bunniefuu]

Oh. Thanks for doing this.

If my boyfriend was free

I would've have asked him,

but Devon's busy doing soldier things.

He calls food 'rations'.

My parents love that.

Oh. What are you doing

Joy asked me to help move some boxes.

I'm sorry, it's just I have

unpredictable core strength,

but my Devon has a

twelve-pack. Abs on abs.

Okay, well, I got a

couple abs of my own so

We can take it from here.

You're sure? They're 40 pound boxes.

Yeah. It's not like

we're risking our lives.

My boyfriend risks his life every day.

It's his job to risk his life.

And to monitor fisheries on

the east coast occasionally.

Sure you're okay?

Yeah. And you should probably

get your own boxes in order,

you know, before you go

moving anyone else's boxes

Just trying to help.

That's a code my boyfriend lives by.

Always help others first. Unless

they're trying to k*ll you.

Joy, where's this going?

Oh, I'm just saying he's

brave but has boundaries.

- I think she means the box.

- No, I don't.

Yes, I do.

Does it feel like plush toys?

It does not.

Well looks like

you've got this handled.

See ya later!

Oh!

Oh my God.

Woo! Good workout, partner.

Oh look, it's Dora the

Explorer, and my mom.

Orange is very visible on the trails.

And on those slim shanks?

No complaints here.

Gross.

So, that's 12k for me,

and a 10 minute speed walk for you.

So, 7k-ish.

Uh, point 8.

Good hustle, Peg.

I hear hustle, but all I see

is the crew hangin' loose.

- I'm on a break.

- I'm here 40 minutes early.

And one of you, is

late for their shift

Sorry, hun, lost track of time.

Peg's helping me prep

For my hike.

Right, and I love the camaraderie

but let's keep it outside of work hours.

When you love your job,

there are no work hours.

Except there are.

Same time tomorrow?

She just said

when I am on my deathbed,

enjoying the last drops

of my morphine drip,

I wanna remember my friendships

not the one shift I was on time.

So, now you're dying?

No but the hike is in

honour of my friend.

Me and a few buddies have been

walking the Bruce Trail, for Pablo

I miss you little guy.

He was a dog?

No, but like 5'2".

Yeah, they hiked almost the whole thing.

What is it, 40 kilometres?

Over 900.

I have no sense of distance.

Or time apparently.

Oh, by the way,

you got a message from

Sunnyview Senior's Centre.

They want you to stop bringing Luna.

A few of the seniors

are fighting over her,

it's getting physical.

Noted,

but Peggy's in charge of the

Gran-paws visit this week.

I got my hike.

Copy that, boy shorts.

I'm totally double booked

Hey, my favourite power pals.

You got my note about the leak?

Probably. So many

leaks in my life, babe.

I meant Sunnyview.

Apparently a sewage pipe

burst in their common room.

Oh my God.

We can't run the Gran-paws

program there this week.

Boo. Li and I were going

to pop by, see it in action.

It fit so perfectly in our schedules.

Oh.

Well, maybe we can have

the seniors come here.

A little Gran-paws field trip. Love it.

Though now I'm wondering

if maybe barking

and seizures are kind of a thing.

Be bold. We should bring

other board members.

Emily would love.

Keep in mind, we've

never done this before

We should get Bry

from Intrepid here too.

We'll cater lunch. I'll

call Puji from Thai Garden.

I'm not sure we should

be spending money

Just take it out of my donation.

- Oh, haven't received it yet.

- I told you she's relentless.

See you Thursday.

Will you be sending the

donation by e-transfer or

Hi, yeah. I need to change

my reservation, please.

Okay, next question!

Okay. Would you wear

a silly hat forever,

if it was the only way to cure

me of a terminal diagnosis?

- A million times yes.

- Wow.

Hey, we got five out of five

on the 'Buddy or Bae' quiz.

Never doubted that.

Okay, I gotta take my mom to chair yoga.

If she's late they take away her chair.

Oh! Wait

Oh! Sorry!

No, I don't mean

that I mean, yes that,

but also I wanted to ask

what you're doing on Tuesday?

Oh, it's wing night with the guys.

Oh.

But, uh, you could tag along

No, I don't want to 'tag along!'

Oh, phew.

I was worried you were gonna

see the way I eat chicken wings.

And are you sure the guys

are your priority on Tuesday,

May the 18th Of May?

Oh my God!

I forgot!

I have a friend's ten

years of sobriety talk.

- What friend?

- Jeremiah.

Saved my life in Niger.

Why don't you and I have a

special dinner date on Thursday?

Can't.

I have my friend Jambalaya's

ten year talk about

It's private.

Okay, um I respect that.

Devon! Tuesday is important!

Starts with 'one' ends

with 'month-a-versary'?

Thursday's our month-a-versary.

No, we met on the 18th.

Yeah, but didn't go out till the 20th.

I remember because I

kept the parking receipt.

Oh my gosh, you're right.

But if Jambalaya needs you, I

No, she was fake. I was faking.

That's a relief.

Her situation sounded really serious.

I can't believe I was off by two days.

Is this bad? Are we doomed?

No, hey, if we're doomed,

then we'll be doomed together.

Call me later?

Not if I call you first.

Just hangin' with my BF, Dev.

And guess what! I

have a meeting in five.

Oh. Gives you more time to guess!

Hey, someone wants to say hello.

Aww, how's our favourite expecting mama?

A bit cranky. Lara says she's fine,

but there's no pleasing her right now.

Oh, well here's something

that might cheer up our girl.

Maternity pics for the website.

Oh.

Oh, wow. Zoom in.

I know. Your dog's a-glowin'.

No. Forget the dogs.

My white strips are finally working.

And with the v-neck, forget about it.

Still not sure why you're in them.

Because I represent the shelter.

And this is shelter publicity.

No offense, but without

you it's "oh cute,

look at these gays with their strays."

But now it's, "who's with who

and why is that mom in the middle?"

I'm hoping you mean Ruby.

You know then again, Travis isn't

exactly serving up model energy.

Is he growling?

I think it's a smile

Why is he looking at

you in so many of these?

He's not.

Too bad he doesn't have more

Face-appeal.

But he's not unattractive.

Compared to what? Concrete?

Oh, come on. He's a good

looking guy objectively.

He looks like a tractor.

What?

In a school play about a farm,

he'd be the tractor. Straight to offer.

Okay, and who would I be? Do not say

- The mom. Obviously.

- Hmm.

And sounds like mom wants

a ride on the tractor.

Oh my God.

That's not a no!

Okay. We may have kissed.

I I'm sorry. What?!

Rewind. How? When?

It doesn't matter,

because Mr. Tractor

is with Mrs. Tractor.

- He's married?

- Yeah.

Are you hearing this, Ruby?

Shelter mom wants to get

with married hicktown dad.

I mean, they're

separated but it's recent.

So I'm putting him on the shelf.

You know, things can fall off the shelf.

Which might explain his face.

Liam!

But great work on the mat pics.

Send me the deep V series.

I'mma light Grindr on fire.

Hey check this out. Coco, bark!

Bark, Coco! Oh, Coco, intruder!

That is amazing. Coco always barks.

You're welcome.

Great job, super trainer.

Another female voice silenced.

Coco, tell Nikki I'm a feminist.

Unfair power dynamic.

I just thought she might

be good for Gran-paws now.

Oh, which reminds me, Sunnyview seniors

are visiting us on Thursday.

Plumbing problems at the residence.

It's called incontinence,

Shannon rude.

So, we'll need all hands on deck.

I know you've got the day booked off,

but you can move your walk right?

Uh, hike

It's just, that Tonya's coming by

with some board members

and the program sponsor,

so we really gotta hit

this out of the dog park

Oh, okay. Well, I guess

I could help Peggy prep.

Kristian, I love Peggy. You know I do.

She's family. But she's a volunteer.

And yesterday I saw her using a

dog comb to brush her own hair.

They're great for dandruff.

But it's not her job to make

sure this goes well, it's yours.

And to be honest, I can't picture

this day happening without you.

- Really?

- Yes!

And I know you want more

responsibility around here,

and I want to give it to you

I guess the trail's not going anywhere.

- And neither is Pablo.

- What?

- Oh, just my

- Oh, yeah, your walk buddy.

- It's a hike. But yeah.

- Great.

And don't tell Peg about this, okay?

I trust her, but she can

be a little bit flaky.

And I'm not talking about the dandruff.

Kristian, what ya doing?

Uh, it's for the seniors.

Yeah, I get that, but shouldn't you

be preppin' for the steppin'? Your hike!

I told the others to

go ahead without me.

I did something to my toe,

it's really bugging me.

Your toe.

Pablo wouldn't want

anyone to suffer for this.

You've walked 900 kilometres already.

Suffering is kind of a given.

Not if it means missing out on

helping my number one volunteer.

Oh, I see. I see.

You've got your worrywork pants on.

Ah, this is just better for me and

Shannon.

Why, did she pressure you?

Question your manhood?

No. I just love Gran-paws

And seniors And Thursdays.

And this stupid ramp.

Hey. You owe it to Pablo to go.

How long have you been

training for this, huh?

And that poem that you

wrote for him, so beautiful.

- It's a rondelet.

- See?

The shores of Georgian Bay will love it.

I could actually still make

it. They haven't started yet.

Kick those gams into high gear, kiddo.

We got you covered.

- You'll call me, if there's a problem?

- I will not.

Thank you, Peggy.

Whoa!

That's steep.

I'll move the bunny bin to the bottom.

Those tub-tubs can cushion any fall.

Hey, there.

- Hope I'm not in your way.

- No.

Just taking a break

from the animal love.

Oh, I get it. It's a lot of licking.

Hey, Conrad, Muriel

- Laverne.

- Laverne!

Shocked they let you all out for this.

Bunch of trouble makers!

Watch out for these guys.

Did you get a chance to

retouch the maternity pics?

Affirmative. That's

soldier talk for yes.

Well, send 'em 'ovah' so I can post.

My son says you still

haven't called him yet.

Dustin's at the aquarium

gift shop Monday to Friday.

Right. Oh, um, I work all those days,

but one day, hopefully.

Before your lady stream dries up.

Tick-tock baby-o'clock.

And though your son sounds nice,

full disclosure, I have

a serious boyfriend.

He's taking me to the Salamander Bar.

It's got three dollar signs on Yelp.

Sounds like a classy guy.

Yeah, he's my man in uniform.

Hotel valet?

Armed forces.

And our date night's extra special.

We're celebrating

I can't even say it.

You're pregnant.

It's our one month-a-versary.

One month.

What's so funny?

Wait till a year,

when he's digging for

ear wax at breakfast.

Or 18 years, when he and the kids wear

'I'm with stupid' T-shirts to

your night-school graduation.

We all warned you about Karl.

He was a dud from day one.

- Hey!

- What are you all laughing at?

Joy, tell Gina your big news.

My boyfriend and I are

celebrating our anniversary

Of one month! One month, Gina.

Next month, they're planning a parade!

Well, I'm glad to put

smiles on all your stupid

Old, wrinkly faces!

You wanna look at me in

the good eye and say that?

Especially you, Gina.

Joy?

I didn't mean that.

I'm so sorry.

And nice to see you again, Bry. Welcome.

Aww

More like "attractor", am I right?

Cast that hot slab of

concrete in your school play.

Sorry?

Oh, nothing. Just

some water cooler chat.

I was chatting, Conrad and Tiger were

Watering, and it looks

like cool just showed up.

Um, meet Tanya and Emily from our board

and Bry, a sponsor.

How are you doing today?

- Not so great.

- Wonderful.

Well, you must be happy to see Tiger.

Conrad and Tiger have been

Gran-paw's buds for weeks now.

This guy gets me.

I was worried we weren't going

to get to see each other today.

You see? This is what

Intrepid is all about

friends you can depend on.

And I would love for

you to meet Kristian.

He's our acting manager of animal care

and he's been training

all of the Gran-paws.

Let's just say there'd be a lot

more bite marks if he wasn't around.

Peggy, can you get Kristian?

Oh. He's in the back.

Oh. I was just there; I didn't see him.

Then, he's going to the washroom.

If he was using one of our

products, he wouldn't have to.

Bry on point!

It's just I'd like him

to say hi to our board

and the program sponsor.

Well, when he comes out, I'll tell him,

unless he heads straight

to the back again,

which he does often at this time of day.

But some of them have to leave,

so I'd love to connect

them sooner than later.

Right.

So, can you go find him?

You know, he he just might

be in the bathroom for a while.

Is he sick?

No. I told him to go on his hike.

He should never have been working today.

Peggy, you're not his boss.

You barely clock four hours a week here.

If you can't respect

His friend d*ed. It's a

memorial hike for Pablo,

okay, Miss Tough Stuff?

Oh my God. Why didn't he say anything?

- Because he's dead.

- Kristian.

Oh. Well, you know how modest he is.

Oh my gosh, I feel

terrible for saying no.

And you should.

Sorry, I'm late.

Oh my God, is that chicken panang?

Yeah, Tonya said we can't have any

until the Intrepid

people stuff their faces.

If you don't bring money,

you don't get honey.

Did you send me the Ruby pics?

No, but I sent you a lil' preview.

Really? I never got it.

What? I said, I never got it.

Oh my God.

No. Sorry, I'll be right back.

She's always been a little flaky.

Hey.

Oh, hey. So, listen, I know that

the winky can be a bit weird,

but, I mean, it's a classic, right?

No, I'm a fan of winky.

It's just that message wasn't for you.

Oh. Right.

Uh, well, who was it for, then?

You know what? Don't answer that.

I, uh you know, I

don't want to be creepy.

Although, the picture was of me,

so I guess that would make you

creep yeah, I don't know.

It's just Liam and I were

talking about the Ruby photos,

and he was mentioning your looks

What? Like he wants a piece?

He thinks you look like a tractor.

Oh.

And so, my text said "more

like 'attractor'", as a joke,

which I now realize, post the other day,

might come off as more

invested than I currently am,

which is not at all.

Huh.

I hope you're talking to my Dustin!

Sorry. Who's Dustin?

My husband. Okay, I gotta go.

I'm glad that we cleared this up.

So, I shouldn't ask you out.

What? No, no. You're in

a complicated situation

that I'm trying to stay out of.

By sending me this?

I'm hanging up now.

Dustin's calling.

Should we three-way?

Joy, a moment?

I was rude the other day

and I want to apologize.

Thanks. But I know you're busy.

And I appreciate you

being patient with me.

I'm sure that's from being

The oldest sibling in a big family.

Are you reading notes?

I've been emotional lately,

but the notes keep me focused.

And mentioning your family

demonstrates interest,

and takes the apology

from general to personal.

Might work better without

the explanation, but

Good note. Thank you.

Lara

I know, I should have held

eye contact for longer,

but your eyeliner is crooked.

Oh. No. Uh, I just wanted to

ask your opinion about something.

Oh, okay. But I am

Go ahead.

Is it silly to celebrate

only one month with Devon?

It's not. I don't want to

Oh, please tell me!

You've been in a

relationship for so long!

You don't know anything

about my relationship!

Oh.

That's the emotion I

was mentioning earlier.

The truth is, Ravi and I

We're ending things.

No.

Sex isn't enough.

Really?

I need someone who challenges me,

who enjoys cooked food,

and doesn't think Trivial

Pursuit is "fixed".

- Yeah, totally.

- And it was just hard

for me to hear about your

blossoming relationship

as mine took its last breath.

Oh, I wouldn't say it's blossoming.

Well, early days.

Meeting, connecting, thinking

"Could this be the person

I marry in Antarctica?"

When a week together

is worth celebrating

because your souls have

known each other forever.

Wow.

That's a quote from

Ravi and it's total bull.

Yeah. Yeah, totally.

That's why, um, Devon and I

called off our anniversary.

You know, he was all,

"this is important,"

and I was like

"Back off with your bullcrap."

- This is only the start ♪

- Oh my God!

With my loneliness ended ♪

Devon, what are you doing here?

You adopted my heart ♪

In this shelter so splendid ♪

Do you know how toxic

balloons are for animals?

I think the balloons are for you.

Yeah, I couldn't wait till tonight

to celebrate the joy

that my Joy brings me.

Well, too bad.

And guess what? I need

to be challenged! M'kay?

- Oh

- Yeah.

Trying to win me over

with whatever these are.

They're balloon

bouquets, your favourite.

Joy, look, I may not need an update

on every cute thing that happens,

but don't ruin your anniversary for me.

I'm not. I hate this.

And him.

Oh my God!

Stop!

I confess!

I'm sad that you're sad, but

I love this so much.

Congrats, you two.

Happy month-a-versary.

So, if the dog barks, just come get me,

but try not to bark back.

Got it.

Kristian? What are you doing here?

I forgot my journal with Pablo's poem.

Don't worry, I covered for you.

I told Shannon. She knows.

You told her?

And she made a really big

deal about wanting to introduce

her star employee to the big wigs.

But I explained the situation,

and she wanted you to go.

Who wanted to meet me?

VIPs, sponsors, blah-blah-blah.

- Are they still here?

- Kristian!

I'm so sorry. Are you back already?

No, I forgot something.

I wish you'd told me!

Such a beautiful tribute to your friend.

'Kay, I should get going.

You're already late.

There he is!

Oh, but he's late; He has to go.

Just a quick hi. Emily loves Coco.

She's dying to meet you.

So, you're the miracle trainer.

Oh my God. You should call

the program "Miracle Mutts".

Em, the program already

has a name. Keep up.

These dogs, these people,

you're doing such great work.

But sometimes work ain't

worth a damn, is it.

Kristian was supposed to

be on a memorial walk today.

Hike. It's a hike. For

a friend who passed away.

What? And you made Kristian work?

Friends are everything.

When I was younger, I had

more of them, but so important.

Cut the brags, Em.

It's like your poem to Pablo said,

"A friendship

needs two people rowing on each side."

Better get rowing, mister.

Yeah. I just didn't want to be rude.

The work that we're doing here

is super important to me to us.

It's really nice to know

that it's appreciated.

Oh. Your friends?

- Yeah, but I'll catch up.

- You have our blessing. Go.

No one talk to this man!

Go!

Good luck.

Oh.

They finished.

They must have started

earlier than I thought.

The friendship sailed without you?

It's okay.

Pablo wouldn't have approved.

He was a real workaholic.

I got that from the poem.

At least I can get something to eat.

I was starving.

Fat chance. Emily ate it all.

That's rude.

Send text to Liam.

What do you want to say?

Oh my God, look up Travis

Reid's profile picture.

Can you believe that the

tractor cropped me out?

Okay. Sending to Travis Reid.

No, no! No! Don't send. Uh, cancel.

Okay, it's sent.

No, no. Unsend! Unsend! Damn it.

Resending.

Oh my God.
