Original subtitles

I don't know if y'all

previously on

I owe you an apology.

I've been mad at you.

I thought you were ignoring me.

Did you bring the divorce papers?

I do believe I forgot them.

Well, this is scrumptious.

The chicken is good now.

You turned your mom into a micro-influencer?

I don't know what I'd do without you by my side.

You may have to start considering it.

Clayton's pretty cool.

I know.

Do you think it's strange

that he's making an effort now that he's feeling

kind of lonely?

Hey, beautiful.

Did you get back into the wine while I was cleaning?

?

[vo] There are only two kinds

Sleight of hand

And a woman's intuition.

All right, Ben. What'll it be?

I'll have the meat and two with uh...

fried okra and green beans.

Nah. You want the mac and cheese.

Well, yes ma'am, I do.

Fried okra and mac and cheese it is.

[vo] That magical feeling,

hollering from deep down

That inescapable

And those Mimi's girls?

Well, now, they

Frannie's girls,

they were born with

Problem was,

So these here are Yukon potatoes?

Yes, ma'am. It says right here on the box.

Ah.

... ? and it's impossible

Yeah.

Y'all sent the wrong taters in the right box.

[vo] Now, every once

one of those good

I reckon we should trim this elm tree soon, huh, Frank?

I mean, look at that widow-maker.

One big storm, and that branch could cause some real damage.

It's fine.

[vo] Only to be silenced

? Whatever happened

? inside of you ?

[vo] Nancy often found herself

who could jump into action

when their own intuition

? Whatever happened ?

? To believing all

Sure is busy all of a sudden.

[vo] But Nancy reckoned

had been silenced

and maybe

[tires squealing]

[upbeat music]

She didn't want to want Lucky Landry, but she wanted him.

The kind of want that melts a woman's knees

like molten lava.

Wow.

Uh, Shawna gave me that trash.

Well, then why are you reading it?

Well, it's a pretty good trash.

Ah, you beat me again.

You lettin' me win?

Maybe I am a lousy card player.

Uh...

Uh, you had a flush.

You little snake.

Is that a flush?

[laughs]

Don't spike her vitals.

You know, you don't have to write all these numbers down.

It's just a bunch of malarkey, anyway.

I promised Nancy I would write down your oxygen levels.

She told me what she would do to me if I didn't.

It was ugly.

I'm going downstairs.

Behave yourselves.

Okay. Deal me in.

Okay, boss.

Mama? I got to tell you something.

Okay.

Don't get mad.

Don't tell me something's gonna make me mad, then.

It's not... bad.

Is it serious?

Okay. A couple months ago,

I created an Instagram for your drawings

'cause I love them so much.

And I thought other people would, too.

That's so sweet, Frankie.

But nobody wants to see my doodles.

Oh. They do.

What?

200,000 followers.

Yeah, and the comments are gushing.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

I thought it might... overwhelm you.

No, it makes my day.

Good.

It is good.

I think pizza for dinner tonight.

Celebrate.

That's not all.

Okay.

A big New York publisher

has been commenting on the posts.

"Mega Inspo For Mommo's."

A big time editor, wrote that?

Well, that's millennial cringe.

Those are your people.

[laughs]

She wants to set up a call.

A call?

- A call? - Mmhmm.

- A call. - Yeah.

That sounds like a big deal!

So you're not mad?

Mad? Are you nuts?

This is the nicest thing

anyone's done for me in a long time.

Awe.

?

Just over here, honey.

[sighs]

Wow. These birds are going nuts.

I know, it's nice.

Uh..

Um, honey, uh, you want to find the elegant balance

between structured and drapey.

Okay.

When do you know it's right?

I just feel it.

You got to trust your instinct.

As a wedding planner it's all I have.

Mom, you've been a wedding planner for, like, two weeks.

And you're very good at it.

Mm. You know, it's moments like these I'll cling to

when I see your tuition decimate my bank account.

This looks straight out of a magazine, Sabrina.

Oh, well.

What magazine?

I have no idea.

You made an empty field look elegant.

Well, you know, for an episode of Craziest Cribs,

I once turned a mortuary into a nursery.

Anyway, that's in the past, hopefully.

Well, Frankie's here to help.

I am off to work,

but if y'all give me your lunch orders,

I'll send something over.

Oh, can I have a meat and three?

Fried okra, mac and cheese and a biscuit, please.

Ooh, you sound like a true local.

Thank you.

Same for me.

- Diet soda. - Okay.

Bye.

All right. Take a look around.

We have lots of work to do.

?

I couldn't let you leave without saying a proper goodbye.

Yeah, well, I wish it wasn't goodbye.

Me too.

You could stay.

Well, I've made promises to people I can't break.

I understand.

I'll be thinking about things you shared with me.

Well, I hope you'll leave the door open for us.

I will.

Bye, Beau.

Goodbye, Nancy.

[tender music]

[phone ringing]

[Mae] Hey.

Hey, there.

I was just checking in to see how the morning with mama went.

Sergio's upstairs losing to her at poker.

[laughs]

How's she doing?

Oh, you know, mama. She's tougher than beef jerky.

Oh, she was doing so well.

Well, I mean,

that's the thing about MS, right?

It's just... unpredictable.

I know.

It's just a lot.

What about you? You okay?

Mae?

Huh? Yeah, probably.

Probably?

What is wrong?

Oh, nothing.

Okay. I guess I better hang up, then.

I don't think Clayton's here for me.

Okay. Who's he here for? Patrick?

Mama.

And that's okay.

I'm just disappointed I'm not really his priority.

I sure hope you're wrong.

[exhales] Me, too.

I love you.

[Mae] Yeah. Talk

Mae. Say it back.

I- I love you, too.

When you say "I love you"

it sounds like you're saying it under duress.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Do I have to say it every time we hang up the phone?

Yes!

'Cause what if something terrible happened,

and the last thing you said to me was "yeah, okay"?

That would so haunt you.

[laughs] Okay.

I love you, too.

Weirdo.

Hey.

I'm here for my nursing shift.

Yeah, I was expecting you 30 minutes ago.

Yes, I got caught up with some business stuff.

I thought you sold your business.

I did, I did.

But, you know, every time I try to get out,

they pull me back in.

Okay, well, you have to give her her meds every hour,

which is actually right now.

And you have to make sure that you write it down

or Nancy will have a fit.

All of the meds are clearly marked-

Yeah, yeah, I got it, Mae.

Okay, call me if you need anything.

[coughing]

You look like the dog's dinner.

Well, good morning to you too, Esther.

Grumpy, too.

Oh hi, Amanda.

Morning, Esther.

Mayor Carson.

Yeah.

Oh, big day for you, Amanda.

Real big.

All right, now, don't get too intimidated.

It's just a bunch of legal terms that lawyers use

to make themselves seem smart.

Like "habeas corpus"?

Exactly.

Now you're basically a lawyer.

All right.

Everything looks...

good.

Now what do I do?

Alright. Let me tell you how this is going to go down.

So you are looking for a default judgment,

which means you got to have these papers

served directly to Frank Junior.

I hear it's just "Frank" now.

That man.

As soon as he gets these papers,

he's got 30 days to respond.

That's a long time.

Yeah, and they usually leave it right to the last minute.

But then there'll be a court date.

Hey, you are going to be divorced before you know it.

Thank you, Pauline.

I appreciate that.

More than you know.

You are welcome.

Amanda Moore.

[chuckles]

Well, slap me silly and call me Sally.

[vo] Nancy wondered what

was doing at The Cluckery.

It was gnawin' at her

Rodney?

What are you doing here?

I, um, I-

I was seeing what kind of light bulbs they use.

You look like a cat caught in a trash can.

What is going on?

I've been eating here.

The chicken's good now.

What do you mean, the chicken's good?

I heard it was chewier than a rubber tree.

They changed the recipe.

Between that juicy, crispy chicken, the keezers,

sports on every screen?

I... I guess that's why you haven't seen me lately

around Chicken Sisters.

Don't be upset with me, Miss Nancy.

I- I hate to be the one to tell you this.

There's no Chicken Sisters allowed.

What?

? I spent most the night... ?

Oh!

- I got you.

- Thank you.

? Don't give a damn

? What time it is ?

Oh! Behind.

? What people say ?

I'll wash you up some mixin' bowls.

? Our time together ?

? I will never change ?

Hey, can I help you?

[vo] Oh-wee, someone call

'cause there's an electrical

? You'll never be ?

? Never be ?

Mama! You're not gonna believe this!

[phone ringing]

Sabrina Sky of Sky Wedding and events,

where the sky is the limit.

I'm trying something new.

What's that?

What?

Well does the word "confirm" mean nothing to you?

No, no. Well, what am I supposed to do?

You give me an option.

This is horrible news.

What am I supposed to do?

[vo] You think a petty ban

from finding out what's

[cheering]

[vo] Nancy knew this chicken

'Cause it was, y'all.

[Sabrina] Hey Jay, Mae.

You know how part of planning is planning for surprises.

What is it?

Just a little shipping snafu.

- Mmhmm. - The ranunculus.

They didn't make it.

That's totally cool.

Really? Because you don't look totally cool.

I'm totally cool.

And I am totally fine.

Okay, well, then I'm glad

that you are totally cool and totally fine.

Excuse me.

Mae, Mae, breathe.

What's one thing you see?

- Don't do this. - Tell me.

The clouds.

- Two things you hear? - My pulse.

Let me be upset!

They're just flowers.

Or it's the Mimi's curse.

No, it's not.

It's one small, fixable problem.

Look at all the things that have gone right.

Right. See?

Remember how that big fancy editor

wanted to schedule a call with you

to talk about your chicken drawings?

Yeah.

That call is less of a call.

What is it?

It's more of an in-person meeting.

When?

Now. Ish.

Ha ha.

Honest. She was on her way to Atlanta when she decided

to make a detour to meet you

before anyone else snatches you up.

Her exact words.

Amazing.

But I look like a soggy sack of potatoes.

Howdy. I'll be right with you.

Oh, no.

That's her.

How do you know?

I did a deep dive.

She has two cats, she's a Pisces rising,

and she gets a facial every six weeks.

I cannot meet someone with an aggressive skin care routine

looking like this.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

Now, Mae told me to bring you some fruit, but, you know,

I've never been one for following the rules exactly.

- Yeah. Not your style. - Mmhmm.

Uh, I better not.

What are you talking about? It's a little piece of pie.

I know, I know, but Nancy's got me on this special diet.

No bacon, no sweets, no fun.

Girl, the last thing you need to do is lose weight.

You're beautiful as you are.

No, it's... it's not about that.

It's about, you know, keeping my inflammation down.

Oh, right. 'Cause of your, uh...

situation.

Yeah, 'cause of my situation.

But you go ahead and-

- You just eat it. - Mmm.

- Dang, that's good. - Mmhmm.

So you're getting close to being all better yet?

I'm better than yesterday and better than the day before that.

Well...

You know what they say, Gus.

You keep putting one foot in front of the other,

you know, eventually you get to the end of the road.

Oh.

Say, you know what? I got a great idea.

Yeah. What's that?

Well, when you finally are all better,

what do you say you and I take a little trip to Venice?

Venice?

Yeah.

- That'd be a dream come true. - Wouldn't it?

Yeah. Gosh, you know what would go good with this?

Coffee. You want some?

I can't do caffeine either, remember?

Oh, dang it. That's right, sorry.

I got, uh... CRS.

Can't Remember Stuff.

[vo] Gus's intuition was louder

on a rusty grocery cart.

Problem was, her heart sung

Welcome

to The Chicken Sisters.

Table for one.

Oh, can I get a booth?

This place, it's cute as a button.

Oh, absolutely. Right this way.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. I know who you are.

Cynthia Lillie!

Oh!

Oh, I- I run my mama's socials.

Your engagement, it is spot on.

- Is she here? - She is.

And I'll go grab her for you right away.

Just, um... Just don't go anywhere.

I won't. 'Cause I just got here.

Oh. [laughs nervously]

Oh.

[squeals] I sat her!

I look like a poser.

Oh, no one says that anymore.

Wow, you look-

- Like a poser? - Stop saying that.

You look cool, yeah.

- Really? - Yeah.

I've got to get back to the wedding site.

Oh, you've got this.

Remember,

she is here to snatch you up.

Okay.

- Good luck. - Thank you.

[vo] It could have been her

giving her that youthful glow.

Or maybe it was that

Amanda had of something new

Where did the chirping birds go?

Maybe they flew south.

Need some help?

I've been told I'm pretty handy.

Gruster.

I didn't know you were back in town.

Yeah, I just got back from Glorietta.

First thing I had to do is check in on you.

Didn't even unpack my bags.

Well...

I'm flattered.

And I'm glad to see you.

I can't believe I'm meeting you in real life.

You can't believe you're meeting me?

Yes.

I'm just a country girl that likes to doodle.

That. I mean, that line is perfect

for the jacket of the book.

- The book? - Or books.

Have you thought about writing one?

Yeah, but not for real.

Well, I have thought about your book.

I've been thinking about it ever since I found your art.

- Really? - Mmhmm.

Your drawings with inspirational southernisms

all put together.

A book with my drawings?

Are you for real, or is this, like some sort of scam?

You asked for my routing number to deposit my advance,

and then one day I'm all cleaned out?

[laughs]

No, Amanda.

Do you know how exciting it is to find an authentic voice?

I mean, most people, they just move to New York and L.A.

and they lose that special quality

that just makes them unique, but you...

you have perfectly captured

the quirks and the joys of living in a small town.

Well, it's all I know.

I'm sorry. This is a lot to take in. I'm...

clammier than a beach in August.

Yes. I mean, the stuff, it just pours out of you.

They're just silly drawings.

They're not silly.

They're special.

And hundreds of thousands of people agree.

They're tiny pieces of me.

And all the weirdos in my family that I love.

And if someone else feels the same way

when they're looking at my work, I guess...

I've done my job as an artist.

Artist?

Yeah. Artist.

Mama? I mean...

Nancy.

Management has a new rule.

No Chicken Sisters allowed!

Oh, so it's a management rule.

Mm. Well, I'll be on my way.

I was just finishing my delicious chicken.

Good. I'm glad you liked it.

I mean, yeah, I'm really in a groove here now.

Things are really looking up at The Cluckery these days.

Why do you think that is?

Hard work, dedication to my craft.

Ah, you don't think it has anything to do with you

serving up your family's tried and true

fried chicken recipe?

Not only your family's, but your daughter's entire family.

Mimi's and Frannie's?

Or did management forget it's the same recipe?

How could you, Frank Junior?

You just took it and handed it over

to a bunch of corporate strangers.

I took what's mine.

I'm finally putting myself first for once.

Trouble is, you always put yourself first, Frank Junior.

It's just Frank now.

I keep thinking that you're going to start building bridges

instead of burning them down.

I've been hanging on a hope and a moonbeam that you'll change.

My grip is slipping.

Ranunculus are so yesterday.

- So yesterday. - Hey.

I'm just gonna tackle one thing at a time.

Me and my fianc�e.

[coughing]

You all right, mayor?

I'm gonna miss calling you that.

Mm.

Hi, Pauline.

I know what you all are here for.

Your marriage certificate.

All right. You're just going to take

this little old thing, bring it on back here

ten days after the ceremony,

Huh.

What?

I might have typed your name wrong

on the marriage certificate.

Yep, I spelled it M-A-Y. Not M-A-E.

On account of M-A-E is a weird way of spelling your name.

Weird?

This is a real fiddle-faddle situation.

Fiddle-faddle?

It's really gonna gum things up

unless the rest of your government documents

are also misspelled?

M-A-E is not misspelled.

So what exactly does this mean?

You cannot get legally married if this paper ain't right.

But...

we're supposed to sign the marriage certificate

at the wedding.

Which, by the way, is in two days.

Can't you just type up a new one?

Oh, I wish.

No. So once I type it up,

it's got to go in over to Bertha to notarize.

Then it comes on back to me.

Then it goes over to the boys at County.

Then it comes on back to me again.

If I remember

to put it in the right interoffice envelope.

I'm going to try to expedite a correction.

I'm gonna do everything I can, okay?

Okay.

Would not want to be party to the Mimi's curse.

I am... I can't-

Mae, Mae...

we can always sign it after the ceremony, honey.

Yeah.

[coughing]

[heavy breathing]

Hey, darlin',

Call me an ambulance, would you?

Oh, my word! Oh, my!

Hey.

Did you write down her oxygen levels?

Sure did.

Was threatened I'd be sent to the gallows if I didn't.

How's she doing?

Fine, fine. Yeah, she's good.

Okay. Did she eat?

Uh, I think so.

What do you mean?

Well, I'm pretty sure that Mae gave her some food.

This is important.

She was supposed to take her pills 30 minutes ago,

and she can't take them without food.

I gave her the pills.

This isn't a joke.

I'm not trying to be funny. She took the dang pills.

Without food?

What is this, the Spanish Inquisition?

She can't take them on an empty stomach.

It makes her feel like she swallowed a porcupine.

Relax, Nancy.

She's fine. Gus is tough, okay?

I know she's tough, but not cause she wants to be.

'Cause she had no other choice.

Look, there's nothing to get this upset about, okay?

[vo] Y'all take a picture.

This here is the last man

Nancy Hillier out of

When Gus told me that you were Mae's daddy,

I was real surprised.

Oh, really? Why's that?

'Cause back in the day,

you and me and Frank Senior,

we were thick as thieves, yet I had no clue

that you so much as knew Gus Moore's name.

Come on. You know I was back then.

Yeah, because

she wasn't the type of girl you were supposed to be with.

Y'all being from the opposite sides of the track and all.

Well, it doesn't mean I didn't love her.

And I still do.

Love makes you do hard things.

You took off because it was too hard back then.

Now you know that that wasn't me.

My parents sent me away.

No. No, no, no.

Love would have put you on a bus or a bicycle.

Anything to be with her.

And now you come back here after all this time

and try to pretend that you could just

pick up where you left off.

Look, you got me all wrong, Nancy, okay?

No, I got your number.

You're all charm and smiles till the going gets tough.

Listen, sweetheart.

I've built multi-million dollar businesses, okay?

I can handle tough.

Building a business isn't tough, but being there

for someone when they really need you...

that's tough.

You're wrong about me.

Oh, really?

I missed you at Frank's Senior's funeral.

What? Cat got your tongue?

You know what I think, Clayton?

I think you're the same coward that left Gus

all those years ago when she needed you the most.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Tell me you're not thinking right now

how you can worm your way out of her life again.

I wish I'd have been wrong about you.

[thunder rumbles]

And I think that there is a market for it internationally.

But first, I do need my senior editor to sign off.

So we'll try to circle back

on our way home from the conference.

Oh, well...

I look forward to whatever's next.

Great.

Well, I better be off.

Looks like the weather might turn.

Oh, yeah.

Let me get you a rain jacket.

Oh.

Oh, I can't just take your jacket.

Of course you can.

What good is a rain jacket if it's not keeping anyone dry?

That. Write that down.

Talk soon, Amanda.

Okay.

Bye.

[laughs]

That went well.

Yeah.

Couldn't have gone better.

[melancholy music]

[door opens]

Gus?

I heard every word.

Oh, honey. I'm so sorry.

You stood up for me.

Of course I did.

No one else has ever done that before.

I couldn't just stand by and let someone treat you like that.

You deserve better.

[sighs]

The past is a dangerous place to revisit.

He was my first love.

Well...

my only love, if I'm being really honest.

I forgot how nice it is to feel like that,

like... like... everything's going to be okay.

? It takes a little mercy ?

[teary] I just didn't know how much I still loved him.

And it just...

I don't know,

maybe it was just- I was in love with

not being alone anymore.

You're not alone.

You have me.

Always.

Thank you.

? You gotta hold on ?

? And wait for that

? Maybe there'll be news ?

[vo] Clayton thought he could

with a charm and apology

Problem was,

no one else was at

[thunder claps]

Oh!

Swampier out there

than my uncle's alligator farm.

No Chicken Sisters allowed!

Oh, I'm not here to eat. I'm here to serve.

Bet you didn't know I was a process server, did you?

What can't she do?

What's this?

Amanda has initiated legal action to end your marriage

by filing with the courts.

Hence, kicking off your divorce proceedings.

Buckle up.

[thunder crashes]

Ah!

You should have seen his face.

It's like he saw a ghost.

A ghost of comeuppance.

So what does this mean?

Oh, um, when someone does something bad

and you want to do something about it

But you know that that's not right.

So the universe

takes care of it for you.

I know what comeuppance means, Shawna.

I meant, what are the next steps for my divorce?

Oh, okay.

Yeah. Yeah, right.

Um, okay. Well, uh, you will

go to court on the date they provide.

You will say you do not want to be married,

and you will leave that courthouse free as a bird.

- That's it? - That's it.

Done. Finito. Le over.

It's finally happening.

As soon as this lets up, I can continue embellishing.

I already have Gruster... grustering.

And don't worry.

None of this is going to blow away.

Hey, hey, look at me, look at me.

Bad weather is good luck for a wedding, right?

Ah! Good news.

Good news, good news.

The ranunculus are on their way. Crisis averted.

Oh, at least something is going right.

See? The Mimi's curse isn't as strong as you thought it was.

[thunder cracks]

?

Hey.

Where are you going?

Uh, well,

I got some stuff to attend to at home,

but I'll be back on the big day, don't you worry.

No, you won't.

Oh.

I used to lie.

A lot.

I told Jay that my family was rich.

I was too scared to tell him that my mama

ran a barely functional chicken shack, and...

I didn't know who my daddy was.

So it was just...

easier to lie. I was good at it.

It came really naturally to me, but I couldn't figure out why

because...

you know...

mama's not a liar.

She's a lot of things, but she's not a liar.

I got your laugh.

I got your confidence.

And now I know where I get my lying from.

You're not coming to my wedding.

No.

I'm not coming back.

I guess I'm just not cut out for the hard stuff.

I will say this, though. You know...

I'm really proud of you,

for all that you've accomplished.

Not that I had much to do with it, but...

And I'm proud to say that I'm your dad.

Oh, you're not my dad.

You are just some guy who loved my mama.

Once upon a time.

Fair enough.

Hey. You know...

Uh, for what it's worth...

Would have been real nice to walk you down the aisle.

Okay.

[sobbing]

This is karma for hosting "America's Got Baby Gymnasts".

Y'all...

It's time to get serious.

This storm is getting worse.

Okay, we need to move everything.

And I mean everything we can to Mimi's

right now, okay?

Oh, Gruster.

Is that a normal thing the sky does down here?

Did you ever see

[wind howling]

[rattles door]

[pounding]

Amanda!

Amanda!

[thud]

Amanda?

Where are you?

[vo] Frank Junior subscribed

He thought he didn't

But the truth is,

the lone wolf never survives

Don't do this, Amanda.

Don't divorce me.

I need you.

[thunder claps]

I don't like the look of things out there.

No, ma'am.

I told Frank Senior years ago to trim that tree.

Don't tell me. He didn't listen?

Well, that's not good.

What part?

Well, it looks like

the makings of a wall cloud out there.

- [thunder claps] - [gasps]

Why aren't they ringing the tornado siren?

It's not a good sign.

It ought to be going off right now.

Who are you calling?

The mayor's office.

That man is sleeping on the job.

Yeah, well, I'm not sure he was ever awake.

No one's picking up.

Maybe, uh, maybe they're already sheltering.

That's a howling wind.

And it's getting worse.

Someone ought to do something.

Yeah, someone ought to.

I'm that someone, aren't I?

Well, what does your gut say?

Atta girl.

You just march in there and you talk to him

the way you talked to Clayton,

and he will be shaking in his loafers.

Well, I can't leave you.

Oh, of course you can. I know how to hunker down.

But what if-

Don't worry about me.

I'm harder than a rock and I've been through twice as much.

[vo] Nancy had freed

And it was no longer

No longer a chatter.

No, ma'am.

Okay.

All right, all right.

Now go on, now. Go get. Get.

[thunder claps]

Whoa! Whoa!

Wild! I've never seen wind like that.

Frankie? Wherever you are, get inside.

Who are you with?

Okay, good. Stay there, and... -[call drops]

Argh. I lost her.

Cell towers must be down.

Frankie's safe with Sabrina. They ran back to Mae's house.

What's happening?

We need to prepare.

For what?

[thunder rolls]

Oh, Miss Nancy? Miss Nancy?

Esther, why hasn't the mayor sounded the tornado sirens?

No one has permission.

The mayor needs to authorize the call.

But he had an emergency.

This is an emergency! [thunder claps]

[branch cracking] [glass shattering]

[wind howling]

?

?

[muffled] Mae! Mae!

Mae!

[muffled] I've been calling you.

[muffled] Mae, it's time to go.

Mae, we have to go.

Let's go.

[train thunders past]

[sobbing]

We can't waste another second, Esther.

People are in danger. Our neighbors are in danger.

But we need the mayor's approval.

We don't have it.

So what?

There's a protocol, Nancy.

We need his permission.

You might need his permission.

But I sure don't.

[tornado sirens wails]
