NOW, PREVIOUSLY ON REBA.

I DON'T HAVE VERY MUCH TIME. VAN'S 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 FEELIN' LOOSER?

NO FOOTBALL, NO MONEY, NO LIFE.

ALL I GOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO NOW IS A LIFETIME OF TOPICAL CREAMS...

FOR MY BOTTOM!

SURPRISE!

BARBRA JEAN, WHAT THE HECK?

I'M LONELY.

YOU SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME. I COULD'VE HIT YA.

SEE? OW.

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.

STEE-RIKE!

THERE'S NO BETTER PLACE TO BE ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY...

THAN A SMOKE-FILLED BOWLING ALLEY.

VAN, ARE YOU 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. I GUESS THE NEXT STEP IS FOR YOU TO FIND A NEW JOB.

A JOB? NO WAY! YEP.

I FINALLY HAVE THE TIME TO DO THOSE THINGS I MISSED WHEN I WAS 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.

♪♪ OH! OH!

HE'S SO HAPPY. WISH I HAD A NARROW SPINE.

HA, HEY!

♪ MY ROOTS ARE PLANTED IN THE PAST ♪

♪ THOUGH MY LIFE IS CHANGING FAST ♪

♪ WHO I AM IS WHO I WANT TO BE ♪

♪ A SINGLE MOM WHO WORKS TOO HARD ♪

♪ WHO LOVES HER KIDS AND NEVER STOPS ♪

♪ 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 GONNA 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 THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN WATCHIN' HIS DAUGHTER.

OKAY! I'M OFF TO THE LAKE.

IT'S A HUGE BODY OF WATER WHERE THEY HOUSE FISH.

- GUESS WHAT I'M DOIN'. - PICKING ELIZABETH UP AT 3:00.

NOPE. THE LICENSE SAYS FISHIN'.

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.

VAN, SHE'S WORKING REALLY HARD,

AND WORKING HARD BUILDS CHARACTER.

- YOU OUGHTA TRY IT SOMETIME. - YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE BUILDS CHARACTER?

FRESH TROUT.

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 BRINGIN' 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, BARBRA JEAN, YOU CAN'T BE LONELY...

AS LONG AS THERE'S VOICES IN YOUR HEAD.

NO, REBA, 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?

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 WIDE WORLD.

REBA, PLEASE?

NO, BARBRA JEAN. THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND BROCK.

I MEAN, IF YOU'RE SURE YOU WANT HIM BACK, ASK HIM YOURSELF.

IF YOU'RE JUST LONELY, GET A DOG.

VAN, I'M HOME! SHH! 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'S NANNY.

ELIZABETH'S... OH. VAN!

- SHH! - SORRY, SORRY.

VAN!

OH, HEY, MRS. H. I SEE YOU'VE MET PENNY, OUR NANNY.

YOU HIRED A NANNY? UH-HUH.

I CAN'T BELIEVE CHEYENNE APPROVED OF THIS.

THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF HER BEING SO BUSY. SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW.

AH!

PENNY IS GREAT. ELIZABETH'S TOYS HAVE NEVER BEEN CLEANER.

AND SHE'S TEACHIN' JAKE SPANISH.

ES VERDAD, MAMÁ. ME GUSTA A PENNY.

- BUEN ACENTO, 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 MAKIN' CHICKEN MOLE.

THAT IS THE MOST COMPLICATED SAUCE IN THE SPANISH LANGUAGE.

YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE?

YES, UH, TAKE THE REST OF THE DAY OFF WITH PAY.

I'D LOVE TO, BUT I DON'T WORK FOR YOU.

HEY. I CAN'T STAY. I'VE GOTTA GET MY LAB STUFF.

BUT I WILL BE BACK AROUND... HELLO.

YOU MUST BE THE MOTHER. I WILL RAISE YOUR DAUGHTER RIGHT.

- VAN HIRED A NANNY. - WHAT? VAN...

THANK ME LATER, HONEY. 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 GONNA EVEN REMIND HER.

VAN? 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 A PROFESSIONAL.

THE BIG DEAL IS, I THOUGHT YOU WERE WATCHING ELIZABETH.

THAT'S YOUR JOB. I OUTSOURCED IT.

OH! COME ON, MRS. H. LOTS OF PEOPLE HIRE HELP.

WHY SHOULD I WAIT TILL I'M OLD TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF?

¡VAN, ÁNDALE! ¡VAMOS!

I GOTTA GO. JAKE IS "EL MADDO."

I'M LEARNIN' SPANISH TOO.

THERE IS A MR. BROCK AT THE BACKDOOR.

ALSO, THERE IS A SULLEN YOUNG LADY NAMED KYRA...

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.

TO WHAT DO I OWE THIS INCONVENIENCE?

WELL, I'M HAVING DINNER AT BARBRA JEAN'S TONIGHT, LIKE WE DO EVERY WEEK,

AND I'M THINKING ABOUT DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE RISKY.

SPENDIN' MORE THAN FOUR DOLLARS ON A BOTTLE OF WINE?

NO. ASKING HER IF I CAN MOVE BACK IN.

OH. REALLY?

YEAH. IT'S A LITTLE RISKY BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA 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 IT'S KILLING ME.

SO I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD, YOU KNOW,

KINDA ASK HER IF SHE'S THINKIN' ABOUT IT.

SO YOU WANT ME TO ASK HER TO GO TO THE PROM WITH YA?

METAPHORICALLY, YES.

LOOK, BROCK, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT ALL THIS.

OH, MY GOSH. ARE YOU SAYING THAT BARBRA JEAN HAS TOLD YOU...

SHE'S THINKING ABOUT ASKING 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 HAVE. I MEAN REALLY SURPRISED.

OH, REBA, I JUST HAVE...

OH. BROCK. HI.

BARBRA JEAN. WOW! WHAT A SURPRISE.

WHAT'S UP, BARBRA JEAN?

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.

THE STEP THAT I'M ABOUT TO TAKE...

IS A BIG COMMITMENT EMOTIONALLY,

AND I KNOW THAT THERE IS ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING HURT.

BUT I HAVE DECIDED THAT IT IS WORTH THE RISK.

SO, BARBRA JEAN, IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO TELL ME?

YES.

I GOT A DOG!

WELL, THAT IS A SURPRISE.

YOU GOT A DOG? THAT'S 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... BUT IT'S A GIRL.

WELL, SHE SPELLS IT WITH A "Q."

OH! DOES BROQ WANNA LIVE WITH BARBRA JEAN?

HUH? YES, BROQ 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'VE GOTTEN A BIGGER DOG, BUT...

STOP IT, BROQ.

BUT, YOU KNOW, BIGGER DOG, BIGGER MESS.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE SHE POOPS.

SO, BARBRA JEAN, HONEY,

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WANTED TO ASK ME?

YOU KNOW, ANYTHING AT ALL? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT.

MMM... NOPE.

WELL, I BETTER GET HOME.

IT IS TIME FOR BROQ'S WORM MEDICATION.

IT'S RECTAL.

REBA, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THE IDEA.

IF YOU HADN'T SUGGESTED I GET A DOG, YOU KNOW, I'D STILL BE LONELY.

DOES BROQ WANNA GIVE REBA A KISS?

NO, I DIDN'T THINK SO.

NO, I DIDN'T THINK SO, 'CAUSE BROQ ONLY LOVES BARBRA JEAN.

YES, SHE DOES. YES, SHE DOES.

MAYBE YOU OUGHTA GET A CAT.

AND THAT'S HOW IT WAS.

WOW. WELL, I GUESS MY LIFE IS BETTER...

THAN GROWING UP IN A REBEL CAMP IN THE JUNGLES OF COLOMBIA.

MOM, THANKS FOR RAISING ME WITH A ROOF, HEAT AND RUNNING WATER.

PENNY, THAT WAS AMAZING.

NO BIG DEAL. I GREW UP IN SEATTLE.

YOU KNOW, I'M KINDA GETTIN' USED TO HAVIN' YOU AROUND.

WOULD YOU HAND ME THE GARBAGE UNDER THE SINK?

I WOULD LOVE TO, BUT I DON'T WORK FOR YOU.

CHEYENNE.

CHEYENNE? HONEY, WAKE UP.

HOW'S YOUR CLASS GOIN'?

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 STRETCHIN' YOURSELF WAY TOO THIN.

OH. IT'S MORE THAN STRETCHING, MOM.

IT'S CARDIO. IT'S DIET. IT'S A LOT OF WORK.

I MEANT WITH YOUR CLASSES. HONEY, YOU GOTTA 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... 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 GONNA HELP ANYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND. TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL.

WHAT KIND OF WIFE DO YOU THINK I AM?

MY HUSBAND IS GOING THROUGH A VERY DIFFICULT TIME,

AND THE LAST THING HE NEEDS 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...

THAT I THINK HIS LIFE HAS PEAKED?

THAT... THAT HIS BEST DAYS ARE BEHIND HIM?

WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT.

VAN HAD A GREAT TIME PLAYIN' FOOTBALL.

BUT IT WASN'T GONNA LAST FOREVER. HE'LL FIND SOMETHIN'.

MAYBE NOTHIN' 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.

OH, I KNOW. I JUST... I FEEL LIKE WE'VE HAD SUCH BAD LUCK.

NO, NO, NO. YOU'VE HAD GOOD LUCK.

BAD LUCK WOULD'VE BEEN IF THE DOCTORS HADN'T OF FOUND IT,

AND VAN COULD'VE REALLY GOTTEN HURT.

- I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT LIKE THAT. - MM-HMM.

THANKS, MOM.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

TOP THAT, PENNY.

HERE YA GO. MM-HMM.

SO, MORE SALT? HUH?

YEAH.

HEY, BARBRA JEAN. HEY.

UH, 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.

- IT NEEDS A LITTLE SALT. - YEAH.

OH!

BROQ, NO! HEY, BUT I...

NO, NOT YOU, BROCK. BROQ.

THAT IS JUST SO FUNNY. SHE ONLY DOES THAT TO YOU.

AND YET, WITH ONE STOMP OF MY FOOT, I COULD PUT AN END TO IT.

CAN'T WE PUT THE DOG OUT IN THE YARD OR SOMETHING?

NO! GOSH.

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.

OKAY?

YEAH.

SAY SOMETHING NICE TO HER.

YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PART OF OLD YELLER WAS THE ENDING.

- BROCK! - WELL, 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, BARBRA JEAN?

BECAUSE YOU NEED A LICENSE TO GET A MONKEY.

YOU NEVER WANTED A DOG BEFORE.

WELL, I WAS NEVER LONELY BEFORE.

YEAH, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LONELY.

WE'VE BEEN MAKING REALLY GOOD PROGRESS.

I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE GONNA INVITE ME TO MOVE BACK.

INSTEAD, YOU REPLACE ME WITH... BROQ.

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 GONNA LET THINGS FALL APART. I SWEAR.

- YOU PROMISE? - I PROMISE.

OKAY.

OKAY?

OKAY.

I LOVE YOU, BARBRA JEAN.

OH! I LOVE YOU TOO, BROCK.

WELL, NOT YOU, BROQ. "BROCK" BROCK.

RIGHT. YOU KNOW WHAT?

I JUST REALIZED THIS COULD GET CONFUSING.

FROM NOW ON,

I'M GONNA CALL YOU... REBA.

I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT.

SAY, CAN WE PUT REBA OUTSIDE?

OH! I THINK SO.

THERE YOU GO, REBA.

REBA, NO! NO!

OH!

WE NEED TO TALK, NOW.

THIS HAS 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 REVOLUCIÓN! THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYIN'!

ALL RIGHT. PARCHEESI IT IS.

WHAT'S GOIN' ON? IT'S ABOUT THE NANNY.

LET ME GUESS. YOU WANNA GET RID OF HER?

- NO. NO, ACTUALLY, I WANNA KEEP HER. - REALLY?

YEAH, YEAH. WE'RE GONNA NEED SOMEONE...

TO HELP US TAKE CARE OF ELIZABETH WHILE YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR A JOB.

A JOB. WHAT IS IT WITH EVERYBODY WANTING ME TO GET A JOB?

- I'M NOT READY. - WELL, WHEN ARE YOU GONNA BE READY, VAN?

I DON'T KNOW, CHEYENNE. FORGIVE ME IF I'M NOT RUSHIN' OUT...

LOOKING FOR A JOB THAT I'M GONNA HATE TO REPLACE THE ONE I LOVED.

YOU CAN'T FISH FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

I CAN IF SOMEONE TEACHES ME.

- VAN, I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE ADJUSTING. - WELL, I'M NOT.

I'M DOIN' ALL THIS STUFF TO DISTRACT MYSELF SO I DON'T JUST SIT HERE...

AND... 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 GONNA GET LOST AFTER THE CHICKEN MOLE.

- IS THAT DINNER FOR ME TOO? - SURE, YOU TOO.

WILL YOU SHOW ME WHERE YOU KEEP THE CHEESE GRATER?

I'D LOVE TO, BUT I DON'T WORK FOR YOU.

ACME!
