-[groans] -[David] Oh, my God.

[Alexis] Ugh!

Jeez, I'm not out the door yet!

Hey, hey, David, isn't that your friend?

[Moira] Oh, I didn't recognise him clothed.

Yeah, I don't know what he's doing here.

You sure, David? Because I've got a pretty good idea.

Alexis, don't be crass.

David, is he here to s--

Oh, my God. I literally told him

to never come back here while you people were home.

So, I don't...

Um...

What are you doing here?

Well, I was just in the neighbourhood. So...

I just thought after last week, we decided to avoid the motel.

Like, generally speaking.

[Moira] David, what should we do?

Should we be walking ahead, how far ahead should we be walking?

I'm just gonna walk, 'cause I don't even care what's going on right now.

Keep walking, okay? Walk, walk, walk!

Um... What's going on?

Oh...

Okay, um, so you weren't here for me today.

Okay.

-It's just a casual hang, you know, we talked about. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's totally fine, I'm just--

I'm tasting metal for some reason.

Um...

[Alexis] Oh, God, David, this is so awkward!

[Moira] What? What's happening?

[Johnny] Well, I don't think Jake is here to see David.

We can hear you. Very clearly.

Oh.

-Okay, he's early. I didn't know-- -No! No, no.

Okay, sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry.

Uh... [door slams]

-Have fun, you two. -Oh, John. No!

-Oh, right. -Don't worry, David,

I've been in this situation like, the most times,

except I'm always the girl getting into the truck.

The least they could do is offer us a ride!

Okay, let's move please, people!

[birds chirp]

[Twyla] All set, Mr Rose?

Yes, Twyla. I think I'll have the eggs

and brown toast, over easy, the eggs, not the toast.

-Comin' right up. -And I think I might ask for a--

Oh, my God!

What happened?

Well, I went white-water rafting.

Oh, no. Well, that'll do it, I mean...

[Twyla] Anyway, it's fine now.

Yesterday it was this stabbing pain,

but today it's more like a really intense throbbing.

Well, it's not urgent, not urgent.

I don't need coffee with breakfast, so...

I'll grab it right after I clear these.

Well, if it's not too much trouble?

[Doris] Can I help you with those?

Oh, no, no.

Oh, you know, I can help.

I can help with that, Twyla.

No, no. They say it's better to work through the pain.

-Really. -Oh, well, there you go.

If those are the doctor's orders...

No, I mean, I can help, Twyla.

I do have a bad back,

but I can certainly, uh...

-Help out here. -Oh.

[David] Uh, who picked through my cake

and only left the icing?

Who eats the icing?

What kind of barnyard were you raised in,

where you just eat someone else's food?

So you can share a boyfriend, but you can't share a piece of cake?

I'm not sharing a boyfriend.

Stevie and I are both dating Jake at the same time

like sexually evolved human beings.

Oh, okay, because in my experience with throuples--

We're not a "throuple!"

When it comes to three people, David, there's always a favourite.

It's just like how Mum likes you more.

That's not true, and please don't include Mum

in an analogy about my relationship, thank you!

[Moira] David, lunch today?

-No. -Oh, very well.

I'll dine alone.

See?

See what?

Alexis seems to think you like me more.

Alexis, don't be ridiculous!

It's exactly the kind of paranoia

that makes me wary of spending time with you.

I was sitting right here

and you chose to eat lunch alone.

That is simply not true!

I didn't see you.

At first.

Alexis, I would be absolutely glee-ridden

if you would have lunch with me.

Today.

No, no, no, no, no. I wasn't actually--

You'll meet me at the cafe for their one o'clock sitting.

Something wrong?

No.

[birds chirping]

I should go.

Don't wanna set a bad example for the rest of the motel staff.

I thought you were the only one that worked there.

Yeah, that's another good reason to go.

All right, well, I'll drive you.

Mmm, I think I'll walk.

I'm trying very hard not to repeat what happened last night.

Hmm, and here I am trying very hard to repeat what happened last night.

[laughs]

I meant you picking me up.

And David and his family.

Oh!

Yeah, yeah.

Could've timed that one better.

Yeah. Well, I guess that's bound to happen

sooner or later in this sort of situation, right?

[sighs]

I'm sensing that this whole setup

is becoming a bit of a problem for David.

Yeah, he's just very fragile.

-He's like a snowflake. -Yeah.

I just think maybe it's time he and I have a chat.

Oh! No! That's not--

I mean, that's not what I was implying.

No, no, not at all. This is a...

This is a good idea.

For him and for us.

Uh...

Here we go, Twyla.

Table five, a caprese salad, and a ginger ale.

Thank you, Mr Rose. I really appreciate this.

Oh.

Yeah, it looks like the morning rush is finally dying down.

Maybe I can get the kitchen to whip up

a fresh batch of eggs for us volunteers.

[Roland] Uh, Twyla, honey, whenever you're ready.

-I'll be right there! -Okay.

Would you please pass me my crutch?

-Not a problem. -Unless...

No, it's right here.

No, I was gonna say unless you could possibly take their order?

I just need to cash out table three.

Sure, no, I can... I can do that.

You know, it's funny, I said eggs, but, uh...

I'm gonna be ready for lunch soon.

[both laugh]

[Moira] No, I hear your concern.

It's just apparently what geese do.

No, it's not the town's problem.

You're just going to have to watch where you step.

I don't want to hear the-- I don't want--

-No, I don't wanna hear that! -[phone thuds]

Okay, I'm gonna take an early lunch.

Twyla's got a broken foot, so lunch could take a while.

-You coming? -Yes, let me just get--

Oh, wait, I don't think I can.

Okay, I didn't think it'd be such a tough decision, so--

No, Ronnie! I would love nothing more than to lunch with you today,

but I believe I'm lunching with Alexis.

It's kind of a mother daughter thing.

Oh, a little bonding time.

Yes, and what's so wrong with that?

I don't know, is there something wrong with that?

Well, just because my daughter and I

don't do that sort of thing doesn't mean it's impossible!

And I'm sure you'll have a really good time--

Yes, we will! We will.

Once I break the ice with a provocative question or two.

-Sure. -And then there's the banter about the food.

That always eats up some time, doesn't it?

As long as you don't over-think it.

Oh, no. Ronnie?

If you're still there when we arrive,

might we perhaps push our tables together?

Yeah, perhaps.

[door opens and slams]

[knocks] Hey!

Um, you don't need me to work through lunch today, do you?

Would that be to make up for the work

you were supposed to be doing this morning?

I took one tiny break to watch two episodes of Scandal

with Mrs McCreary while she waited for her dog.

Why do you wanna work through lunch?

Um, no, I just thought you might need me

and, um, I wanted to see if I needed to cancel

this lunch that I have at the cafe with my mum.

No need, have lunch with your mum.

Okay, cool.

Um, I totally don't mind though, if you want me to stay.

Is everything okay with your mum?

Absolutely! Why?

Well, it's just you've offered to work through lunch three times now,

most days I can barely get you to come back after lunch.

Thank you, Ted.

No, everything's fine. It's just... [sighs]

We don't spend a lot of time together just the two of us,

which is why it's totally easy to just rain check.

Isn't that all the more reason to go?

I mean, I try to have lunch with my mum at least once a week.

And sometimes lunch will turn into dinner,

because we get carried away chatting, and...

For sure, for sure.

Okay, well, I guess lunch is free, then.

So I guess I will see you tomorrow.

Oh, well, there's still work to be done,

so probably best if you come back after lunch.

Okay, but nothing during lunch, though. Maybe?

Tell your mum I say hi.

Okay... Thanks.

Well, I guess I was a bit premature

thinking the morning rush was over.

-Yeah. -Here you go.

Table five, seven and eight, and the big group at 12, separate cheques if you can.

Thank you, Mr Rose.

And I've got a steak sandwich here with your name on it.

Oh, you shouldn't have!

Just one thing before you start--

Yeah, steak sauce, I know, you read my mind.

Actually, I was gonna ask if you could take this to table four.

Oh! Yes, yes, I can.

And then I'll be back for that sandwich, avec sauce.

-Here you go. -I didn't order this, I ordered the fish.

That's mine. The full combo?

I wanted to order the fish.

Well, you can order the fish.

He told me not to. He said it was off.

The fish is off?

No, no, the fish is fine. It's just, uh, you know, it was a bit fishy.

You know what, I'll just order the full combo instead.

Okay, but just to be clear,

the combo is a cup of soup and a half a sandwich.

-Then what is that? -It's the full combo.

-There is no full combo. -He said there was.

Well, not in those words.

No, I said we'll see what we can do.

Well, what's this then?

That's just a soup and a sandwich.

But there is a deal, right?

No.

-You said it was a combo. -No, no,

I said it was like an evolution of a combo.

But there's no deal?

Well, there is a deal on the combo,

which is a cup of soup and a half a sandwich.

So what's this gonna cost me?

Well, I think we can, uh...

Charge you for two, uh, half combos.

There is no half combo.

It's just a cup of soup and a half a sandwich.

Johnny, if I get the soup with the brisket, is that then the full combo?

-Mr Rose? -Yeah, I'll fix it, Twyla.

All right, just soup and a sandwich.

[sighs]

[clears throat]

[bell jingles]

-Hey! -Hello!

-Hey. -[both kissing]

[laughs] Hey.

I'm so glad we're doing this.

Me too!

When your father comes over, just act like everything's normal.

Is there something not normal about us being here?

It's not normal for your father to be waiting tables at a rural sandwich counter.

Ew! What's happening?

He thinks he's working.

-Just play along. -Well, can I get you ladies started

with anything that is not a combo?

Um, I will have a mixed green salad

and some chicken.

Me too, something in common already.

Salads, good. Simple.

And I will get the dressing on the side, please.

You'll get your dressing on the salad like everyone else.

Hmm!

[breathes heavily]

[exhaling]

So, this is new.

Well, a lot more people are seeing my body these days,

so I just thought I would...

What's going on?

I just wanted to check in, you know,

after that whole thing last night.

Was it a whole thing?

I mean, I went to dinner with my family

and you had a

romantic rendezvous with someone that we're both seeing.

-So... -Yeah.

-That. -Well, I'm fine with it.

Me too.

I just wanna make sure that we're still fine,

you know, down the line.

Because what if things get complicated?

What would make things complicated?

Nothing!

But the last thing we want is a situation

where one person is breaking up with another person

and that person is hurt because things have gotten complicated!

Okay, I'm starting to feel like I'm trapped

in an Avril Lavigne lyric here.

And while I not-so-secretly love Avril,

and have paid very close attention to her battle with Lyme disease,

um, I don't know why we're--

Okay.

If you knew somebody was planning on breaking up with you,

wouldn't you wanna be the one to break up with them first?

Okay, if you think he's going to break up with you

and you wanna be the first one to do it,

I say, be the first one to do it.

Okay, I'm doing this wrong.

I need to be more direct.

Yes, by just telling him how you feel.

I think it'll benefit everyone.

-I meant you! -Me?

I'm trying to warn you--

That you are going to be ending things with him.

And I appreciate that, but message has been delivered.

-Oh, my God. -Loud and clear.

-Uh... -[mobile rings]

Ugh.

Okay, it's Jake, so, um...

Oh, okay.

Don't worry, I'm gonna let you tell him.

Okay.

Hello?

Yeah, no, I was just, um...

I was just doing squats, actually.

Ugh!

[dishes clink]

Mmm!

Um, I love having salad for lunch.

It's just... It's not heavy.

No, well, a heavy salad might as well be a casserole.

[suppressed laughter]

So, how are...

Working at the animal hos...

How is working at the animal hospital?

Fine.

That's marvellous.

And...

Uh, your daily exercise routine--

What are you looking at?

-Well, it's a napkin. -Let me see this.

You had to prepare questions?

I wouldn't categorise them as questions exactly.

-"What's your favourite colour?" -Black.

That's one of the questions! It's right after,

"How is your job at the animal hospital?"

Is it a crime, Alexis, that I had so many queries for you that I wrote them down

in anticipation of forgetting them?

Well, you wouldn't need these if you were having lunch with David.

Oh, Alexis, please.

I wasn't even sure you'd show up.

[scoffs] Why wouldn't I show up?

You've never wanted to spend time alone with me.

There, I said it.

You never asked.

Bordeaux? The trip I planned for the two of us?

That was a wine-tasting tour and I was seven years old!

You could've used the spittoon.

That's what the other children did.

But you weren't interested.

It was as if you didn't want to be seen with me.

Well, did you ever wonder why?

To revel in my misery?

No, it's because you were always being recognised.

-Yes-- -No! Not now.

Like, before.

Didn't you enjoy the warm glow

that Mummy's spotlight cast upon you?

-No! -Alexis.

If I'd known you didn't like the attention,

I would've chosen to be alone with you

and not out in public among the throngs of fans.

I don't remember throngs.

I never meant for you to think that I

didn't wanna spend any time with you.

Well...

I hope it's not too late to make up for lost time.

Okay. [clears throat]

What is your favourite season?

[inhales sharply]

Awards.

[crickets chirp]

[door slams]

Uh, what are you doing here?

I'm meeting Jake.

To break up with him?

No. I thought you spoke to him on the phone before?

I did. He invited me here for dinner.

Uh...

-Hi! -Sorry I'm late, guys.

Oh, you both look amazing.

Great. [kisses]

-Hey. [kisses] -Hi-- Mmm-hmm.

-Sit, please. -Oh, okay.

No, I think there's been a mix-up here.

I don't think I should be here for this.

Oh, no, no. I think it's very important that you're here for this.

Okay, here for what?

Well, good evening.

David, Stevie.

-Mr Rose. -Hello again.

I take it we'll be dining together as a group tonight?

Or will you be taking turns?

Um, first of all, what are you doing here?

And second, we're gonna need a minute.

-So... -Yeah, sure, take your time.

Okay.

David, may I?

Yeah.

I know this hasn't been easy on you lately,

and that doesn't make me feel good.

And I know Stevie's been feeling it a little bit too.

Has she?

That's why I think there's only one thing for me to do.

Oh, I should go.

-No. No. -[gulps]

I think we all need to be in this together.

Now, you've both been with each other and you've both been with me.

Let's all be...

With us.

Let's all be with us?

All of us.

Together.

-Mmm, okay. -Yeah...

I don't think that's gonna work.

Stevie, we talked about this.

You talked about this?

You said you didn't want to make things complicated!

Yeah, that's why I invited you both here.

[sighs]

Wow, okay.

Hmm, I think maybe I

misread the situation here.

-Uh-huh. -Yeah, I think that's a pretty accurate realisation.

Might've done.

Okay.

Okay, maybe it's best we all just take a step back from this.

-Okay. -Yeah, maybe that's...

That's the best thing to do.

-Mmm. -Well...

This one's for you. [kisses]

-And you. -Oh, I get one.

-[Jake kisses] Mmm-hmm. -Okay.

All right, I'll see you.

Ah!

[door slams]

To be clear,

you were going to go on a date with him,

knowing that he had just broken up with me?

No, I wasn't.

Uh, you showed up for the date.

No, I didn't.

You're literally here in the restaurant!

Because I was gonna tell him that I was breaking up with him.

Oh, okay.

Uh, yeah, fine.

[sighs]

But if it makes you feel any better, nobody hates me more than me.

Generally speaking.

Fair enough, I would've done the same thing.

Here you go, Mr Rose.

This is your share of the tips.

Oh, Twyla, I can't take any money.

I insist. You earned it.

Well...

I have to admit, I haven't worked this hard in a long time.

I'm glad to hear it.

[clinking]

Although the things some of these customers can put you through.

Oh, I know.

Joking when you're way too busy,

trying to tell you how they want their food cooked.

I've experienced a bit of that myself.

Yeah, you know, I think maybe, um...

You should keep my share of the tips.

That's not necessary, Mr Rose.

No, just think of it as a little reparation pay.

Well, that doesn't even begin to cover it!

[both laugh]
