All language subtitles for Reba s04e12 Reba And The Nanny

Now, previously on Reba... I don't have
very much time, Vance, on his way in.

But listen, I have to warn you, do not
make fun of his injury.

Why? What is it? He broke his butt.

Have you ever heard of spinal stenosis?

It's a narrowing of the spinal canal. My
spine is getting narrow?

Is that why my pants have been feeling
looser?

No football, no money, no life.

All I got to look forward to now is a
lifetime of topical creams.

Through my bottom!

out of me. I could have hit you. See?

I came to see Van.

What with his spine being narrow and his
football career being over, talking to

him makes me feel better about my life.

I'm really worried about him. I've never
seen him so down.

There is no better place to be

on a beautiful day than a smoke -filled
bowling alley.

Okay. I mean, if you're still down about
losing your football career, we can

talk about it. No, no, I'm fine. I've
been through all the stages of grief,

denial, anger, unusually dry skin.

And now I feel like a moist new man.

Okay, great. So I guess the next step is
for you to find a new job. A job? No

way. I finally have all the time to do
those things I missed when I was off

playing football.

Not just bowling.

Important things.

Going to the movies, seeing old friends.

A little light gardening.

I'm telling you, life is a cabaret now
that I've got a narrow spine.

He's so happy.

Wish I had a narrow spine.

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

survivor.

I'm signing up for another evening
class, so I'm not going to be home until

after dinner.

Another class? What are you trying to
do, graduate by morning?

Honey, are you sure you can deal with
all that plus Elizabeth too?

You're right, I can't. So, can you pick
up Elizabeth from preschool from now on?

No, I... have a job and you have a
husband. He can't be doing anything

more important than watching his
daughter.

Okay, I'm off to the lake.

It's a huge body of water with a house
fish.

Guess what I'm doing?

Picking Elizabeth up at three. Nope, the
license says fishing.

Wait, let me get this straight. You want
me to skip class to pick up Elizabeth

so you can go fishing? Yes, thank you,
honey. You're the best wife ever. You're

picking up Elizabeth.

Shoot him!

She's working really hard, and working
hard builds character.

You ought to try it sometime.

You know what else builds character?

Fresh trout.

Oh, that's a good idea.

Why don't you get Elizabeth and take her
down to the grocery store and pick some

up for dinner?

All right, fine.

I'll buy fish.

But I'm bringing a cooler full of beer
to do it.

Catch me a carton of eggs while you're
at it.

Hey, Reba.

Big news.

I figured out why... I was so lonely.

I was so lonely because I was alone.

Oh, Barbara Jean, you can't be lonely as
long as there's voices in your head.

I was seized with loneliness because I
miss Brock.

Yeah, and so I was thinking about asking
him to move back in with me.

Wow, really?

Well, actually, I was thinking about
asking you if you'd ask him for me.

Me? And why would I do that? Because
you're my bestest friend in the whole

world.

Eva, please.

No, Barbara Jean. This is between you
and Brock.

And if you're sure you want him back,
ask him yourself.

If you're just lonely, get a dog.

Van, I'm home.

Elizabeth is asleep.

Oh, sorry.

I'll try to keep it down.

Um, hello.

Hello. Who are you? Who are you?

I live here. I'm Elizabeth.

Nanny. Elizabeth.

Oh.

Van!

Sorry, sorry. Van!

Oh, hey, Mrs. H. Oh, I see you've met
Penny, our nanny.

You hired a nanny? Uh -huh. I can't
believe Cheyenne approved of this. Oh,

that's the beauty of her being so busy.
She doesn't even know.

Penny is great.

Elizabeth Toys have never been cleaner.

And she's teaching Jake Spanish.

Es verdad, Mama. Me gusta a Penny.

Buen ascento, Jake.

Gracias, Penny.

Well, thank you very much, Penny, but
Van can take over from here. No, no, no,

no, I can't.

Penny is making chicken mole.

That is the most complicated sauce in
the Spanish language.

You want me to leave?

Oh, yes. Take the rest of the day off
with pay.

I'd love to, but I don't work for you.

Okay, I can't stay. I've got to get my
lab stuff, but I will be back around...

Hello. You must be the mother.

I will raise your daughter right.

Fan hired a nanny.

We'll have fun at school.

You know what? I've got class right now,
but remind me to yell at you later.

Okay.

Yeah, right. I'm not going to even
remind her.

Fan. Oh, Mrs. H, what is the big deal? I
want the best for my daughter. This way

Elizabeth gets to have quality time with
me and quantity time with the

professional. The big deal is I thought
you were watching Elizabeth. That's your

job. I outsourced it. Come on, Mrs. H.

Lots of people hire help.

Why should I wait till I'm old to take
some time off?

Ben! Andale!

Vamos!

I gotta go.

Jake is El Matto.

I'm learning Spanish, too.

There is a Mr.

Brock at the back door.

Also, there is a sullen young lady named
Kira who wants her allowance with no

questions about school, her friends, or
her life.

I will have a little chat with her while
I make the polenta.

Who's that woman?

And why did she pat me down with an
antiseptic wipe?

Well, we've all wanted to.

It was actually quite refreshing.

What do I owe this inconvenience?

Well... I'm having dinner at Barbara
Jane's tonight, like we do every week,

I'm thinking about doing something a
little risky.

Spending more than $4 on a bottle of
wine?

No, asking her if I can move back in.

Oh.

Really? Yeah, see, it's a little risky
because I don't want to put any pressure

on her. I mean, she's the one who kicked
me out, and if she wants me to move

back, she'll ask me to move back. But
she hasn't asked me to move back, and

killing me, and so I was wondering if
you could, you know...

Kind of ask her if she's thinking about
it.

So you want me to ask her to go to prom
with you?

Metaphorically, yes.

Look, Brock, you're not the only one a
little nervous about all this.

Oh, my gosh.

Are you saying that Barbara Jean has
told you that she's thinking about

me to move back in? Yes, but don't you
dare tell her I told you. When she does

ask you, you act surprised. Not that
fake, ridiculous surprise that you had.

mean really surprised.

Oh, Reba, I just have... Oh.

Brock.

Hi. Barbara Jean. Wow.

What a surprise.

What's up, Barbara Jean? Well, I have
some news, and since you're both here, I

may as well tell you at the same time.

I have no idea what you're talking
about.

But it's okay. Please, continue.

that I'm about to take is a big
commitment emotionally, and I know that

always the possibility of getting hurt.

But I have decided that it is worth the
risk.

So, Barbara Jean, is there something you
wanted to tell me?

Yes.

the big news?

Yeah. Oh, don't you just love her,
Brock?

Guess her name.

Cat food?

Brock! Her name is Brock!

You named her Brock?

Get a short leash.

You named the dog Brock? But it's a
girl.

Well, she spells it with a Q.

Yes, Brock does.

Yes, he does.

And you better not hog the whole bed,
no.

Oh, no, no.

And not only is she cute, she is great
protection.

Yeah, if you get attacked by a tiny
little man.

Oh, no, she is scared of men.

And yes, I could have gotten a bigger
dog, but stop it, Brock.

Bigger mess.

I'm not even sure she poops.

So, Barbara Jean, honey, is there
anything else that you wanted to ask me?

know, anything at all? I have no idea
what.

Nope.

Well, I better get home.

It is time for Brock's worm medication.

Thank you enough for the idea. If you
hadn't suggested I get a dog, you know,

I'd still be lonely.

Does Brock want to give Reba a kiss?

No,

I didn't think so.

No, I didn't think so, because Brock
only loves Barbara G.

Maybe you ought to get a cat.

My life is better than growing up in a
rebel camp in the jungles of Columbia.

Mom, thanks for raising me with the roof
heat and running water.

Penny, that was amazing.

No big deal. I grew up in Seattle.

You know, I'm kind of getting used to
having you around.

Hey, would you hand me the garbage under
the sink?

I would love to, but I don't work for
you.

class going?

Oh, no, Mom.

I was just so tired. I only meant to
close my eyes for like five minutes.

I was in this dream where Van bowled so
much all his teeth fell out.

You ever have that one?

Cheyenne, you're stretching yourself way
too thin.

Oh, it's more than stretching, Mom.

It's cardio, diet, it's a lot of work.

I met with your classes. Honey, you got
to slow down.

I don't have a choice.

I have to graduate early.

I'm the breadwinner now.

What? Yeah.

My husband's not working. I have to pay
the bills and put a roof over our heads

and buy clothes and food and everything.

Oh, honey, no, you don't.

I do.

Cheyenne, pushing yourself beyond your
limits isn't going to help anything.

Well, I don't know what else to do. Talk
to your husband. Tell him how you feel.

What? What kind of wife do you think I
am?

My husband is going through a very
difficult time, and the last thing he

is me on his back. He has a weak spine.

He has a narrow spine.

Your father has the weak spine.

How am I supposed to tell my husband
that I think his life has peaked, that

best days are behind him?

Well, you don't have to say it like
that.

Van had a great time playing football.

But it wasn't going to last forever.

You'll find something.

Maybe nothing as glamorous as football,
but life isn't about glamour.

It's about finding the little moments of
joy that you can share with your

family. I know.

I feel like we've had such bad luck.

No, no, no.

You've had good luck.

Bad luck would have been if the doctors
hadn't have found it.

And Vane could have really gotten hurt.

I never thought of it like that.

Thanks,

Mom.

You're welcome.

Top that penny.

There

you

go.

So... More salt, huh?

Hey,

Barbara Jean.

Gee,

honey. Do you really think it's sanitary
to have a dog up on the counter?

Well, of course it is.

Here, taste this.

Needs a little salt.

Brock, no!

Hey, but I'm... No, not you, Brock.

Brock.

It's just so funny.

She only does that to you.

And yet, with one stomp of my foot, I
can put an end to it.

Mama Jean, can't we put the dog out in
the yard or something? No.

It's dark out there.

Now, you are both important to me, and I
want you to get to know each other

better. Now, you go sit down, and I'll
get the appetizers.

Say something nice to her.

You know, my favorite part of Old Yeller
was the ending.

Rob! Now what? I can't talk to a dog.

What is wrong with you? Why are you
being so hostile to her?

Because I was here first. What?

Why'd you get a dog, Barbara Jean?

Because you need a license to get a
monkey.

You never wanted a dog before.

Well, I was never lonely before.

You don't have to be lonely.

We've been making really good progress.
You know, I thought that you were going

to invite me to move back. Instead, you
replaced me with Brock.

Well, I got scared.

Okay?

You know, suddenly, suddenly everything
just became very real to me. And, Brock,

I kept thinking, what if you do come
back?

And I get all happy like I was before,
and then everything just falls apart

again.

I really couldn't take that.

Honey, I love you. I'm not going to let
things fall apart, I swear.

You promise?

I promise.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

I love you, Barbara Jean.

I love you too, Brock.

Well, not you, Brock.

Brock, Brock.

You know what?

I just realized this could get
confusing.

From now on, I'm going to call you Reba.

I love it. I love it.

Say, can we put Reba outside?

Oh, I think so.

He's been coming for a long time.

Bring it on, Cheyenne.

Not you. Him.

Stop yelling.

You know who has the right to yell?

15 ,000 refugees. That's who.

Okay, who wants to go upstairs and play
a nice game of Monopoly?

Monopoly is the game of capitalist pigs.

Viva la revolution!

That's what I'm saying.

All right. How cheesy it is.

It's about the nanny.

Oh, let me guess.

You want to get rid of her?

No. No, actually, I want to keep her.

Really? Yeah, yeah. We're going to need
someone to help us take care of

Elizabeth while you're looking for a
job.

A job? What is it with everybody wanting
me to get a job? I'm not ready.

Well, when are you going to be ready,
Van? I don't know, Cheyenne. Forgive me

I'm not rushing out looking for a job
that I'm going to hate to replace the

I love. Well, you can't fish for the
rest of your life. I can if someone

me.

adjusting. Well, I'm not.

I'm doing all this stuff to distract
myself so I don't have to sit here and

think about how screwed up everything
is.

Football was all I knew, Cheyenne.

I just... I think I need to be lost for
a little while.

Cheyenne, is everything okay?

Yeah.

Everything's great.

Dinner is ready.

You know what? I'm going to get lost
after the chicken mole.

Is that dinner for me, too?

Sure, you two.

Will you show me where you keep the
cheese grater? I'd love to, but I don't

for you.
