All language subtitles for Reba s03e04 The Best And The Blondest

So much fun.

I just love the potter.

You and I should have play dates more
often.

That wasn't a play date.

I was hiding behind that tree when you
found me.

Why don't you go on the teeter -totter
with me, you spoiled sport?

Well, I thought somebody should watch
the kids.

Explain you to the other mothers.

And there's my sweet little bundle of
perfection.

Aw, you can call me Mom.

So how was the campus career fair?

Oh, wait. Let me guess.

It was just fair.

So tell me about it. What was it like?

The campus career thing was awesome.

Informative. You had fun.

There were balloons.

And careers. And people talking about
careers.

Really?

Any promising leads on what you might
want to do with the rest of your life? A

ton.

Yeah, but, you know, they said it's bad
luck if you talk about it. Yeah.

You didn't go.

Dang it, Cheyenne!

There's the bad moon rising.

It's go time, Hank.

Okay, look, Mrs. H. We were on our way
to the career fair, but our path was

blocked by this huge outdoor concert.

Yeah. And at first, we thought that was
career day. By the time we realized that

it wasn't, the real one was over.

So you were supposed to pick a career so
you could choose a major so you could

have a future.

So? So instead, you start the first day
of the rest of your life by going to a

concert. Mom, it was one career fair.
What is the big deal? The big deal is

have a baby now.

Which means you don't get to be the
college student in the beer helmet

Party! Woo -hoo!

Just like she was there.

You have to start taking responsibility.

Make hard choices.

Stop acting like children and start
acting like you have one.

That guy in the beer helmet was my
guidance counselor.

With gentle hands and the heart of a
fighter, I'm a

survivor.

Okay, coin wrappers, as I like to say,
let's roll.

Penny jar down to the grocery store and
dump it in the sorting machine. Or maybe

we could go to the bathroom and flush
eight cents on the dollar down the

Dad, do you have a minute?

If it were only any time other than coin
time.

What can I do for you, honey?

Mom yelled at me.

You know what always cheers me up?

Rolling nickels.

With me, it's scotch.

So what happened, honey?

She's all over me about the stupid rest
of my life, just because I haven't

picked a major.

You know, your mom's always been like
that. She used to ride me about mowing

lawn every week. I mean, every other
week is fine.

But would she let it go? No. No, it was
always grass, grass, grass.

And garbage.

And dishes.

But mostly grass.

You know, Bob, we should help her.

What are your interests?

Well, she likes nail polish and
shopping.

She should major in rocket science.

Or I could major in... Shut up, Kira.

You know, Cheyenne, I didn't always want
to be a thrifty stay -at -home mom.

At one point, I wanted to be a meter
maid.

But they wouldn't let me carry a gun.

want to do?

I mean, I like money.

How did you decide to become a dentist?

Well, I knew I wanted to make a good
living and have flexible hours.

Okay, well, that's a start.

And I really wanted to be my own boss.

That's what I want to be, a boss.

You know, being a dentist lets you be
all those things, plus you get to help

people. It's very rewarding.

Those are the things you should look for
in a career.

Okay, I'll do it. Do what?

Become a dentist.

First, you have to be able to spell
dentist.

Tell you what I can't spell. Shut up,
Kira.

Cheyenne, honey, it's a big commitment.
Are you sure you want to do this? Yes. I

mean, I used to love coming to see you
at the office.

Plus, I learned from the best.

I'm not the best.

Am I the best?

Best dentist and best daddy.

Hey, for the future dentist.

Go out and buy yourself some monogram
drool bibs. I did, and I never regretted

it.

Hey, if we get you and Jake to join her,
we could be those four out of five

dentists that recommend stuff.

Come on, let's go tell Mom. She's going
to be absolutely thrilled that I finally

picked a major.

Come on, Kira. Don't you want to hear
what your mom has to say about all this?

Oh, we're only four houses down.

I'm pretty sure I'll hear.

Hey, Mom.

What are you doing?

Well, I'm trying to help your sister
with her career choice.

Shouldn't she be here?

No, honey, I want it to be the right
one.

Well, I know what I want to be. An
accountant.

Really? Why an accountant?

Jeffrey's dad is an accountant and he
has a jet ski.

Oh, Cheyenne, I'm glad you're back.

I wanted to go over some possible majors
that I found for you. No need, Reba.

It's already done. Yep.

Dad and Barbara Jean helped me pick a
major.

Oh, great. Bring in the experts. That's
what I always say.

Okay. Well, after a lot of soul
-searching and some really good bonding

with Dad, I decided I want to be a
dentist.

I got one for you. Maybe Van should be
governor.

No, no. No, Mom, I'm serious. I want to
be a dentist.

Oh, really?

Mm -hmm. Oh, wee.

Well, what did your dad say to you to
make you choose such a perfect, perfect

career? Well, he was talking about what
he loved about his job, and I realized I

love dentisting.

It's dentistry.

Whatever.

Well, that's great.

And I'm sure you guys talked about how
Cheyenne doesn't care for science, math,

or teeth.

A dentist!

We didn't really talk all that much. It
just kind of happened fast.

I can't wait to tell Ben. Thank you. Oh,
you're welcome, sweetie.

Oh, I'm sorry. Doctor, sweetie.

Yeah?

Oh, excuse me, Dr.

Boneheads.

I'm not a doctor.

You know, I don't think it's such a bad
idea, her wanting to be a dentist.

Brock, it takes eight years to become a
dentist. She's never going to stick with

something that long.

I don't think that's true.

Okay, she took piano, ballet, and
karate.

She can't play, she can't dance, and
Jake can take her.

Yeah, well, she was younger then.

Maybe she's learned that if she wants to
accomplish anything worthwhile, she's

going to have to stick to it.

That's how I learned to fit seven eggs
in my mouth.

And besides, you know, I feel that we
must encourage our children at all

Yeah, when they're six and want to fly a
cardboard box to the moon.

Rita, a child can do anything. Anything
she sets her mind to.

Except shrink eight inches, I can tell
you that.

So what? You're saying that I'm a bad
parent for encouraging our child's

Is that it? Yeah. You're a bad parent.

A good parent matches the dream to the
child.

So they won't get hurt or disappointed.

Not every child can be an astronaut.

Or jam seven plums into their mouth.

Cheyenne's dream is unrealistic until
she tries it. Oh, you're right. Yeah.

I'm sure Cheyenne will be great at
dentisting.

I can see the sign now.

Cheyenne Montgomery, teeth take her
outer. She misspoke.

Okay, Brock, here's the deal. You talked
her into it, you get to talk her out of

it. No way.

Oh, yes way, because I know how this
happened. She went crying to you because

yelled at her, and instead of backing me
up like you should have, you agreed

with her.

That is so wrong.

And I bet you even brought up the grass
thing.

Now this is just insulting. Excuse me.
Fine.

Maybe you can let her waste a year of
her life, but I'm not going to.

Oh, Reba, don't you worry about a thing.

I'm going to brew a pot of tea, and we
are going to have a nice, long chat

it.

Why don't we do that over at your house?

Oh, okay.

I got lemon, zinger, orange, pico. I've
got an organic peppermint.

I don't

need career counseling. I've already
decided what I want to major in.

When? In the car when we're at that
really long light.

marketing. You know why?

Because they hang out with accountants,
and the word is those guys have jet

skis.

All I'm saying is, a career counselor
would just give us a little

Well, I just think it's a waste of time
when we already know what we want to do.

Dentist, marketer guy.

Hey, maybe I could do the marketing for
your dental office.

I'm seeing a campaign.

It's not coming to me.

Yeah, and when you said you wanted to be
a dentist, it got me thinking.

I mean, if you're willing to put that
much effort into it, why not shoot a

little higher, maybe like a brain
surgeon?

Whoa, now that's something I could
market.

I got nothing.

I hear you, Mom.

I mean, what if I'm meant to be like a
molecular biologist and supposed to find

a cure for cancer or something?

Thanks for thinking I could cure cancer,
Ma. That's what we're here for.

Cheyenne and Ben Montgomery.

Hi. Hi.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Ben.

Hi, Ben.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm Reba Hart. I brought the kids
down so you can do that thing we talked

about over the phone.

Oh, Mrs. Hart, I tried to explain this
to you earlier.

Career counseling is not telling people
what they've chosen is dumb.

This is serious.

My daughter's making a big mistake, and
I need you to straighten her out. Uh

-huh. Well, how about I listen to what
she's thinking and then give her some

guidance? Oh, no, she doesn't need any
guidance.

She needs a big, fat dose of reality.

See, she thinks she wants to be a
dentist. And you don't like dentists?

No, no, my ex -husband's a dentist, and
I... Oh, and you don't want her to be

one because she's following in his
footsteps, and you hate that.

Tell you what I do hate.

That's people finishing my sentences.

Look, that kid is a wonderful, sweet
girl.

She's the kind of kid that gets really
excited about stuff. But by the time you

buy her the tutu, she's already wanting
to take karate lessons.

Is that the end of your sentence?

Yes.

See, mainly, her father doesn't want to
say anything negative to her.

All right, then.

I'll see you in a little bit. You know,
he does that with all the kids.

You know, to tell you the truth, that is
the reason why Kira moved in with him.

Kira, now, she's 14 years old. Mrs.
Hart, you know, we have family

just two doors down.

Why don't you take a little stroll over
there while I talk to Van and Shane?

Hey, Van, how'd it go in there?

Man, that was tough.

Yeah? I mean, I'm not even sure where to
find an organ grinder, let alone get

him to take me on.

Hey there.

Did you pick a career? I sure did.

In?

Dentistry.

Turns out I've been saying it wrong.

No, honey, I don't think you heard her
right.

No, no, no, it's dentistry.

And she told me to go for it. Isn't that
great?

that's what it is.

I'm going to give Marie my personal
thanks. Oh, okay. All right.

Uh, Marie?

Thanks.

What happened in there?

Oh, it's simple.

After talking with Cheyenne, I think she
could do it. Now, she knows she hasn't

applied herself in the past, but she
wants to correct that.

Now, that boy there?

to be indoors.

Well, that's just unacceptable.

Now, you take those kids back in there
and tell them you made a mistake.

Mom, what's wrong? What's wrong is that
so -called guidance counselor gave you

kids some bad advice.

There's no way you should be a dentist.

And you say your 14 -year -old just
moved out?

So you never really believed I could do
this.

And I bet you were lying about me
carrying cancer, too.

Cheyenne, those classes cost money. And
in a couple months, you'll be wanting to

do something else, and I'll have to deal
with that.

You know what?

Thanks for bringing me down here.

It's good to know someone believes in
me. Just not my mom.

Cheyenne!

Don't worry.

I can cheer her up.

Mr. Robotica.

because I want to help, okay?

You know, I was sitting out on my porch
watching the grass grow like it's

supposed to, and I realized that it's
not fair for me to always make you the

guy.

So I'll talk to Cheyenne.

See, I'm sure she thinks being a dentist
is all glitz and glamour.

What Cheyenne doesn't know is that for
every guy who pulls a molar, there are a

thousand broken hearts of people who
couldn't cut it.

I'm glad you guys are here. Mom, I
thought a lot about what you said.

Cheyenne, sweetie, I think I made a
mistake.

I'm not really sure dentistry is the
right thing. I mean, truth be told, I

it. They bite you. The little kids, they
bite you on purpose.

And you can't even smack them.

It's okay. I think I know why Mom thinks
I can't handle it.

Look, Mom, I am flaky, and I don't stick
to things.

Wow.

Honey, admitting that about yourself is
a step in the right direction.

Don't worry, we'll find you something.

Oh, I already did.

Dentistry.

I'm going for it.

Look, everybody thinks that I can do it.

Everyone but you.

Cheyenne, I want to believe in you, but
it's hard.

You've got a very well -established
track record.

You've been a model flake.

Thank goodness you're back. Where is the
baby's baba, Cheyenne? I looked

everywhere and I can't find it. I gave
her the green one, but she threw that.

Now it's gone. And she's pulling on her
ear again, which means she needs the

drops. I don't have the drops. I don't
have the baba. I got nothing.

Calm down.

I always clip an extra baba to her
binky.

Baba?

Binky?

Listen to us.

She's taken away our ability to speak
like big people.

I so want to be that guy in the beer
helmet going, party, woo, yeah.

And breathe, okay?

Everything is going to be all right.
Mommy's back.

It's after four, so you can give her
three drops. If she keeps pulling on her

ear, though, give her some children's
aspirin.

Top drawer left.

Okay. Elizabeth, Mommy's home. Daddy's
going to be okay.

So I'm going for it.

And if you don't think that I'm going to
follow through with it, I'm going to

have to prove you wrong.

No.

Just a minute.

I just realized something.

Maybe I was wrong.

Somebody get a video camera.

What do you mean, maybe you were wrong?

Elizabeth, being a mom, honey, you're a
great mom.

It's not that you can't stick to
something, it's that you don't.

And it's obvious you can do just about
anything you want to.

As long as it's important to you.

So what are you saying? You'll support
me trying to be a dentist?

Is being a dentist important to you?

Hey, hey.

You know that whole thing about kids
biting you? That was really just for

dramatic effect.

We have great hours.

Is it?

Yeah, it is.

Sure you wouldn't rather just take piano
lessons?

I'm here to support you.

But if in a couple of months you decide
to be a forest ranger, you're on your

own.

Oh, a forest ranger? Cheyenne.

All right.

It's like I would ever wear one of those
stupid brown hats.

You know, Reva, if we weren't divorced,
this is where we'd hug and say what a

good job we did and then discuss what
we're having for dinner.

Hey, why don't we do that over at your
house?

You're going to slam the door on me,
aren't you? Yeah. Yeah.
