WAYNE: Jenny Hart,
welcome to your date night
with all the fixin's.
And I put the rosé in the freezer.
Oh, Wayne! It's a perfect slush.
Madame.
Hit pause on the humpin'. Mama's home.
-Oh, what? -Mother, I thought
you were playing bridge.
I had a falling out with Norma
about what's the best way to get to Myrtle Beach,
and the rest of those losers took her side.
And I'm afraid it's spilled over into my Bible study
and my quilting group.
(sighs) Thought we finally had a night alone.
Oh, my Lord. She's going through The Purge.
-The what? -It happens every few years.
She just burns through an entire swath of friends
like a horde of locusts.
(music playing on TV)
Ooh, is that Under the Tuscan Sun?
Oh, I know her. I know her.
This one thinks she's hot stuff.
Would you look at that smokeshow.
I love me an Italiano.
You know what they say-- bushy eyebrows, bushy...
Who was she married to again?
Oh, look. It's Grey's Anatomy. What's her name?
Sandra Oh.
Sandra O'what?
It's Sandra Oh. O-H.
Gonna be a long date night.
Hush. I can't hear Sandra O.H.
She's talking about what's going on in Tuscan.
♪ ♪
Oh, my God, she is crapping on our date night.
What do we have to do to get her out and about a little bit?
Oh, I know-- let's get her arrested and thrown in jail.
Yeah. Something with no bail. Like attempted terrorism?
It's kind of a stretch, but she is terrorizing us
on a household scale.
We can try to get her thrown into the looney bin,
but she'd just wear 'em down.
Can't she just go get a job?
Hmm, Mother getting a job is not a bad idea.
But we can't tell her it's 'cause we need space,
or else she'll get insulted and make our lives
even more of a living hell.
BETTY: Hey, can y'all
help me? I dropped a hard-boiled egg
under the furniture, and I cannot find it.
-Can I have your horchata? -Yeah.
-Can I have your Golden Rounds? -Yeah.
We make this trade every day. Should we just tell our parents
to get us different snacks?
-No, I like the ritual. -Me, too.
KID: Zing, zing! Die, Father!
-Oh! Real people here! Uh, keep turning. -Turn, turn. Okay.
-Now go straight. Watch the railing. -Ooh, watch the railing.
There are so many stupid cliques at this school.
The cyber geeks.
Slime heads.
Wannabe influencers.
It's pathetic that the coolest group in the school-- us--
doesn't have a bigger presence.
Hmm, can you really call us a group?
A group's at least three people, right?
Well, what if we got a third friend?
What? No. It's just us two, and it's always been us two.
No, I'm not talking about someone equal to us, David.
I'm talking about a third who is on a slightly lower tier.
Okay, now I'm feeling this.
Someone who's sort of in but not fully in,
so we can feed off their desperate energy?
VIOLET: One of these lucky nobodies is about to be
plucked from obscurity.
(thumping)
Jenny! Guess what the hot-ass UPS guy just brought me?
My Slap Chops!
Ugh, I don't think she's left this house in three days.
Look, we got to get her the hell out of here,
but we got to make her think getting a job was her idea.
Uh, I'm not good at playing mind games.
It'll be fine. Just follow my lead.
Y'all want to try?
No, I can't. Ugh, I don't have time.
Just gearing up to go to my job.
It's so fun to get out of the house, have a purpose.
Not just moping around here, sad and empty inside.
Yep, thank God for my job. Right, Wayne?
Absolutely. Having a job is the only thing
that keeps me from putting a gun in my mouth,
pulling the trigger and blowing my head off.
(whispers): I told you, this is not my area.
Oh, I see what's happening.
Y'all are trying to do perverse psychology on me right now.
Mother, we think you should get a job.
It'll give you something to focus on.
Earn a little pocket money.
Oh, hell no. I gave up working a long time ago.
Wait, you had a job?
Jobs. Plural, fool.
I'm no stranger to the working girl lifestyle.
I worked as a secretary.
Do you want me to take a memo, Mr. Stetson?
No, but I'd like to take a mammo.
An assistant to the assistant manager at Hobby Lobby.
You know, Betty, I-I never crafted jack squat.
I come here to see you.
And a line worker at the Dr. Mister factory.
(cheering)
You know what? I like earning my keep,
and I like being out in the world.
And you cannot beat the inter-office dalliances.
Thank the Lord I spent the bulk of last evening
Edward Scissorhands-ing my bathing suit area.
Now I'm going out to Kinko's to work on my resume.
How long do you think it'll take her to find out
there's no more Kinko's?
I hope she drives around for two solid days.
BOTH (singsongy): We got the house back, we got the house back.
Our new friend audition flyer
might be the best thing we've ever done.
A hundred thousand percent. Let's read it one more time.
"It's June 1975.
"You're standing outside CBGB.
"David Byrne comes up to you and says,
"'I'm looking for a fourth Talking Head.'
"That is the scale of this opportunity.
Are you ready to be one of us?"
An opening in the most exclusive club in town?
When the masses find out, it's gonna be a human stampede.
Maybe we need to give it a little more time.
(clock ticking)
Um, hey, I'm Parker.
Am I too late for the audition?
Okay, so your name is Parker.
It's a nickname.
'Cause I tend to just kind of sit in one place.
I gave it to myself.
Sugar-free rock candy?
(Violet and David sigh)
First question: what's your favorite movie?
Um, whatever movie I saw last.
Which was Boss Baby 2.
(Violet and David groan)
All right, next question: what music do you listen to?
Oh, yeah, I'm a big music fan.
I love, um, instruments, and, uh, vocals.
(Violet and David groan loudly)
Oh, my God.
We got to get this dud out of here.
He's like if a manila folder became self-aware.
Huh?
Wait, he is a manila folder.
Which means he can hold anything we put in him.
He's a blank slate.
(sighs) I don't know.
Do we really have the energy to build a friend
from the ground up?
Did I mention I have a car?
Okay, you're in.
-(whistling) -Well, somebody got
new batteries in her wiggle stick.
What? No, I'm just in a good mood.
I've had a whole hour and a half with no Mother.
Uh, it was a real glimpse into how it's gonna be
-when she's dead. -Huh?
I say that with love.
I hope y'all are sitting down
'cause I have some bad news.
That's an expression; keep working.
We got some negative Yelp reviews, y'all.
"No wonder this place is called the Last Supper
because the food here is a biblical plague. One star."
-Aah! -Louise, it's just one person's opinion.
It's not that big a deal.
The Internet sucks. It's only good
for one thing: getting people to commit
to a long-term relationship without ever meeting you.
Just ignore it, Louise.
Long story short,
people need to get seated quicker, so I hired a hostess.
-BETTY: Does anybody even work here? -(gasps)
Greetings from your new greeter, y'all!
Oh, dear God. You hired my mother?
Test, testing, one-two.
♪ Delta Dawn... ♪
Oh, yeah, this works for me.
-(laughing) -Mother, there are people
waiting to be seated.
Well, what are you doing right now?
I am entertaining customers.
The hospitality doesn't end
once their butts are in the booths, Jenny.
Now, don't be coy.
I know you must be a model or an actor.
Okay, now what's this?
I need to try the menu so when people ask,
"Is this good? Is that good?
What's this?"
I can have an answer.
Jenny! My new friends over here
need some more iced teas. Think fast!
-(laughter) -(sighs)
VIOLET: Perfection.
So I'm cooler now?
A thousand percent, which brings you up to almost cool.
Ooh, what do we do next?
Should we play something cool like Frisbee?
Sit. We're watching a documentary
about the band Styx.
Oh. And cool people like them?
No. (sighs) Parker, this isn't about liking something.
It's about enjoying how much you don't like something.
We like Styx ironically.
Oh, I get it.
You don't like it, so you do like it.
Okay, let me try:
I like that my gamgam's in the hospital.
Oh, my God. We got so much work to do.
And when I told her I wouldn't give her half my tips,
she wrote my cell phone number on the wall
in the men's bathroom.
So check my phone if you want to know
what every kind of penis looks like.
Jenny, a Yelp review ruined our beautiful plan
and a Yelp review can fix it.
Jenny, there's something I've been meaning
-to tell you for a long... -Wayne,
are you a secret online vigilante?
Oh, come on!
How could you have figured that out?
I gave you zero clues.
Anyways, allow me to introduce to you
my online personage,
Ronnie Tim Tanner.
♪ ♪
Ex-Green Beret who's also a three-time
Olympic medalist in the shot put.
That's great, Wayne, 'cause Louise really listens
to male authority figures online.
Uh, everyone does. And not only that.
He dedicated his last gold medal
to an inner-city kid who had beaten cancer.
When an ex-military Olympic medalist with a heart of gold
tells you your small business is getting sloppy,
you listen.
Ronnie Tim and I single-handedly turned around
a Mexican restaurant that had switched to processed cheese,
a mom-and-pop florist that was churning out bouquets
of filler flowers, and we also got people
to give a second chance to a library
where there was a murder in the parking lot.
Then Ronnie Tim became a raging alcoholic.
JENNY: Oh, no.
Why?
WAYNE: Currently, Ronnie Tim can only afford
to live on a houseboat,
blowing his money on booze and hookers.
Any given day, you can see him
stumbling around,
trying not to fall off his house.
Poor guy.
-How much more can he take? -(sighs)
And thanks to long-term steroid abuse,
he's also got jelly dong.
(gasps) Oh, no.
This man has earned the right to be heard.
I think it's time Ronnie Tim
chimed in about the new hostess at the Last Supper.
On it.
VIOLET: Okay, Parker, you were right.
That eyepatch did affect your driving,
-so you can take it off. -Now this, Parker,
is our favorite game: Mega Lo Mart Bingo.
We point out people and award each other points
based on how much of a hot mess they are.
Here, I'll show you. A guy on a Rascal,
two American flags, oxygen tank, buying cigarettes?
-Score, please. -That is actually pretty common,
so that's just 25 points.
Oh, 26, because butt crack.
Now, David, what do I get for... lady in a terrycloth jumpsuit,
drinking a 72-hour energy drink that she hasn't paid for yet.
She isn't shopping, she's clearly just in here waiting
for something to blow over.
Oh, my God, that's 95 points.
Oh, now look at this, Violet.
Kid sniffing deodorants, greasy hair, anime bowling shirt.
I don't even know what to give that.
That's my boy, Brian.
-Brian! -Hey, Parker.
You got to smell the new Axe. It's off the chain.
My mom's gonna be so excited for her fresh-smelling boy.
Wait, you know this guy?
Of course I do. I invited him.
You have other friends? W-Why did you audition?
Hey, I never turn down a chance for friendship.
Violet and David are the coolest people I've ever met.
They're teaching me about irony.
It's like when you say you love something
-that you actually hate. -Ooh, let me try.
I love that my mom's work friend opened the bathroom door on me
while I was peeing last night.
Well, nice meeting you, Brian.
That's what my mom's work friend said
as he shut the bathroom door.

This is the worst song I've ever heard.
Total ear acid.
My foot's tapping. Why?

(gasps) That review we sent wasn't too mean, right?
(grunts) No way.
I mean, there's not a mean bone in Ronnie Tim's body.
(gasps) Unless he's drinking.
LOUISE: Here's a review from Ronnie Tim Tanner.
"If I could give that vulgar,
"dumb-as-a-bag-of-pine-cones hostess zero stars, I would.
"As a former Olympian, I'm here to tell you
"that if they gave gold medals for being terrible at your job
"and having devil eyes,
"Betty Hart would be on that middle podium,
"slaughtering 'The Star-Spangled Banner'
with those Funyuns she calls vocal cords."
(groans)
"Also, the rude hostess made a ton
"of graphic personal phone calls
"and said the owner of the establishment
had a bird face"?
(distorted): Bird face?
Oh, here comes Birdface.
(chuckles): Hi!
(bird screeches)
So, Betty, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to let you go.

(tires screeching)
Welp, that's the end of Betty Hart at the Last Supper.
Good for you, Birdface.

All right, looks like my baby needs a spanking.
Time to fight fire with fire.
(line rings)
Rex? Yeah, it's Betty. I need a favor.
Anything you need, Bet.
I got two Judases who need a piece of their own medicine.
What you want-- frame job, rough-up, full-blown murder?
No, I'll tell you what I need--
an Internet smear campaign via Yelp.
Put the word out-- the nastier the review,
the nastier the reward.
-Betty Hart? -On it. -Anything for Betty.
TRUCKER: Betty, I miss you.
Jenny, can I talk to you?
-(gasps) -(bird screeches)
Louise, what did you do to your face?
Oh, I was just trying some contouring
to make my nose look like less of a beak.
Anyway, Jenny, I was just going through my Yelps,
and you are named in no less than 17 one-star reviews.
-Oh, what? -Oh, yup.
One said you don't wash your hands.
Another said you spit in all the food
and that it's a sexual thing.
PARKER: Thanks for letting us stop here.
Bri and I cannot pass
Boingzone's Jumptastic Trampatheater
without grabbing a few jumps.
How did we end up in this vanilla nightmare?
I mean, look at these snooze-os.
(laughter and playful chatter)
We still hate this, right?
♪ ♪
I'm really enjoying this.
Ironically or unironically?
Unclear.
Look how high we're getting.
-Yeah. -You're right.
-Whoa. -Maybe it's too high.
Agreed. Everything in moderation.
Hey, nice moderate jumps.
Right at the recommended level.
Thanks.
You want to jump with us?
Sure. I have some pals, too.
Mind if they jump along?
You know Boingzone's motto.
KIDS: You can never have too many hoppers.
Wait a minute. We just wanted one new friend to push around,
and now he's somehow in charge?
We... have... to... put a stop... to this.
Yeah... sucks.
We'll do... one game of... bouncy basketball,
and then we'll tell 'em what's up.
Exactly. No more than two games of bouncy ball,
and then we're done.
Hey, Mom, I hope you're having a great day.
I was just reading one of my latest Yelp reviews,
and one of them was all about my B.O.,
and the other says I ignore the elderly.
Can you believe that?
No. That's so awful
that an anonymous person would slander you like that.
These Internet people can be brutal, can't they?
Yes, they can.
Uh-oh, what'd I walk into?
Wayne, I thought you were at work.
Nope, I got sent home
'cause Bigsby's got a Yelp review that said
"Wayne Edwards pee-pees in the floor sample toilets
and thinks the DMV did 9/11."
(gasps) Mother.
I'm as upset as you are,
and, boy, I hope more bad Yelp reviews aren't on the way.
But something tells me they sure as hell are. (laughs)
Wayne, I, I think you've got some e-mails to write,
don't you?
Yeah, okay.

What are you waiting for, soft boy?
RONNIE TIM: You caused this, Wayne.
Huh? Who's talking to me right now?
It's me, Olympic hero Ronnie Tim.
Can't you see me?
Focus on my voice.
Wow, this is exactly how I imagined it.
Wayne, I know you created me with good intentions,
and we put quite a few small businesses
on the right track together,
but this isn't online justice.
It's trolling,
and I can't be a part of that anymore.
I'm gonna solve this for the both of us.
Ronnie Tim!
(distorted): No.
Y'all, get off your devices.
We've got to hash this out in the real world, face-to-face.
Betty, I was the one who came up with the idea
to write the negative review to get you fired.
-From the job y'all told me to get. -JENNY: Yes,
but what we should have told you from the very beginning is,
sometimes we need space from you.
Well...
(exhales)
There it is, y'all.
Mother, get away from the knife drawer.
I'm just getting my keys.
I'm gonna go hang out with people
who actually want to see me.
(distant laughter and playful chatter)
How come we're not sitting closer to Parker?
This is bullcrap.
Parker's one job was to love and adore us.
But then he goes and adds all these other strays?
We got to tell Parker to just cut them loose.
Hey, Parker, can we talk?
(inhales)
Yeah, I need to talk to you, too.
We've had a vote and we decided-- ah, I hate this--
but you guys don't belong in our group anymore.
Your group?
Yeah, we had a vote,
and I'm afraid you two are gonna have to bounce,
and not in the awesome way.
Wait, you're kicking us out?
Don't worry, whenever no one else is around,
I'll totally be friends with you.
Also, I just want you to know
I didn't enjoy hanging out with you today.
Ooh, you want to go flag down motorists
like it's an emergency,
and then, when they pull over, call them pedos?
Get out of my head.
Good call on carryout.
Oh, it's gonna feel so good

Well, I'm sure all your best friends will miss you,
but the thing is, Wayne and I need you more.
Uh, yeah, we realized date night
just wasn't the same without you.
I thought y'all needed space.
Yes, Mother, sometimes that will be the case.
But tonight we were hoping you'd join us for family date night.
What are we watching?
Ooh, she has let herself go.
Who's she married to again?
That's not his real hair.
She's put on weight.
Isn't he a druggie?
I don't trust that guy. Those aren't his real teeth.
Wait, and is that a wig?
Ten dollars says that man is fully bald.
He barely even has eyebrows left.
I think I might be enjoying this unironically.
What does that mean?
Think it means if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
I'm sorry, but that lady has had too much work done.
Yeah, the only acting she can do is wide awake.
Listen up, y'all, somebody's gonna jump out any second.
