706. Baptists, Catholics and an Attempted Drowning
April 4, 2024After an argument about where Georgie and Mandy will get married, Mary and Audrey scramble to ensure baby CeeCee is baptised in their respective denominations. Meanwhile, Sheldon is upset when his dormmate makes a change to his computer.
Quote from Audrey
Mandy: Just wanted you both to know that, uh, Georgie and I are gonna be going down to City Hall next Friday, and I was hoping you'd be there.
Audrey: City Hall? Is that really what you want?
Mandy: Well, it's not our first choice, but, you know, after the tornado, it's kind of all we can afford.
Jim: 'Course we'll be there.
Audrey: If you want a bigger wedding, we'll pay for it.
Mandy: What? I-I thought you were too embarrassed for us to have a big wedding.
Jim: Excuse me, I'm j... I'm gonna, uh...
Audrey: I don't want to argue. I just want to be part of my granddaughter's life, part of your life.
Mandy: And Georgie's?
Audrey: Mm-hmm.
Quote from Mandy
Audrey: And if a big wedding is what's gonna make you happy, then I want to do that for you.
Mandy: Okay, what's the catch?
Audrey: No catch. And if you want to get married at City Hall, that's fine, too.
Mandy: Dad, Mom's being weird.
Jim: [o.s.] I'm not here.
Audrey: I just... I just want to make things right between us.
Mandy: Okay. Thanks. So what happens now? I'm not used to ending a conversation where one of us doesn't storm out.
Audrey: How about a hug?
Mandy: Okay. [they hug]
Jim: Oh, that is weird.
Quote from Jim
Jim: It's okay. I get to walk my daughter down the aisle. Can't put a price on that.
George: Mm. Yeah. I was real happy to hear Mandy and her mom are getting along.
Jim: Oh, me, too. You know, I wouldn't say this to either of 'em, but they're both a little, uh...
George: Willful?
Jim: Sure, let's go with willful.
Quote from Audrey
Mary: I'm so glad they're having a real wedding.
Audrey: Mm.
Mary: I got married at City Hall, and I've always kind of regretted it.
Audrey: We went all out. I had a gown made special in Dallas with shoes to match, and a white cowboy hat with a rhinestone brim.
Mary: Oh. You must've been so beautiful. Did Jim wear a tux?
Audrey: Probably. I don't really remember.
Quote from Audrey
Mary: Do you think Mandy'll let us help her pick out a dress?
Audrey: I hope so.
Mary: Mm.
Audrey: When she was a TV weather girl, you wouldn't believe the outfits she wore.
Mary: Oh, I'm sure she looked cute.
Audrey: Maybe if she was doing the weather on the street corner.
Quote from Audrey
Mary: Well, I'm sure she'll dress modestly for church. They are having a church wedding, right?
Audrey: Oh, they are definitely having a church wedding. That is one thing I am not budging on.
Mary: Good, you and I are both on the same page there.
Audrey: In fact, I already talked to Father Donovan.
Mary: [chuckles] Oh. Uh, is that your father?
Audrey: No. [laughs] He's our priest.
Mary: Oh. So, you think they're getting married in a Catholic church?
Audrey: Well, of course, we're Catholic.
Quote from Mary
Mary: She just thinks she can take over the whole wedding.
George: Well, they are paying for it.
Mary: So they can just buy CeeCee's soul?
George: No, no, no, you're right.
Mary: [sighs] How can you be eating right now?
George: I was up at 4:00 a.m. spritzing this thing. Come on, try some.
Mary: I'm not hungry.
George: You sound hungry.
Mary: Fine. [eats] Okay, it's delicious, but it doesn't change anything.
Quote from George Sr.
Mary: It's just... Your mother's trying to get you to do things her way, and I... want you to have the wedding that you want.
Mandy: Which would be the wedding that you want.
Mary: Or do we want the same thing?
[George stammers and jestures with his fork as he stops Georgie from intervening]
Mandy: Spit it out, Mary.
Mary: [sighs] Your mother is insisting that you get married in the Catholic church.
Mandy: And you want us to get married in the Baptist church.
Mary: It's an option, but anywhere is fine.
Mandy: Is it?
Georgie: Yeah, but you can't drink and dance at a Baptist wedding.
Mary: Was I talking to you?
George: [whispers] Dumbass.
Quote from Audrey
Father Donovan: I baptize you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Audrey: Amen. [panting] Here's a little something for you.
Quote from Jim
Jim: This is delicious.
George: Mm. You should've tried it two days ago.
Jim: [chuckles] I wanted to. But, instead, we left. [laughs; stops after he looks at Audrey]
Quote from George Sr.
Mary: It was silly of us to put our stuff onto the kids.
Audrey: [chuckles] It's their wedding.
George: Weddings make everyone crazy. [chuckles]
Mary: They're also a celebration of love.
George: Sure. [drinks beer]
Quote from Mary
Mary: Well, whatever they decide with CeeCee, that is up to them.
Audrey: And the Lord.
Mary: Amen.
Audrey: Amen, indeed.
[George and Jim share a look]
Quote from George Jr.
Mandy: And they both went behind our backs. I mean... [scoffs] can you believe that?
Georgie: Well, my mom's pretty religious, so that makes sense.
Mandy: And you're just... okay with this?
Georgie: Is it that big a deal? They sprinkled some water on CeeCee's head and asked God to look out for her. Where's the harm?
Mandy: Do I have to explain it to you?
Georgie: No. [off Mandy's look] But could you?
Quote from Adult Sheldon
Adult Sheldon: Evan upgraded my computer, which made it smarter. There was one problem... the darn thing was smarter than me.
Computer Voicer: Check. [Sheldon groans]
Quote from George Jr.
Georgie: Mind if I crash here tonight?
Sheldon: I do.
Georgie: Yeah, well, I'm crashing here tonight.
Sheldon: Fine.
