03x21 - Happy Pills

[bunniefuu]

hey, did you have fun?
you should have seen me.

I hit 10 free throws in a row.

I was, like, "one,
[swooshing sound] two"...

Okay.

You can tell me about the next
eight after you take a shower, stinky.

Hey, hey, hey!

Guess who got
fan mail. Is it me?

- Why would you get fan mail?
- People like me.

Wow. Look at you, you big stud.

Stud? Well, according
to this young lady,

I'm like "a song of sparrow...

Familiar, yet different and
wonderful each time it's heard."

- Should I be jealous?
- I wouldn't worry.

She doesn't get out of prison
for another eight to 10 years.

Please? No.

Please? Nope.

Please? [Sighs]

- Well, okay.
- Really?

No. Mom, this is so unfair.

I never get to see
scott because of your

Stupid rule that we
have to be with a group.

[Laughs] look,
you're 14, he's 17.

If you round that off,
you're 10, he's 20. Sorry.

This is all your fault, you
know. How is this my fault?

Because they trusted you,
and look what happened.

Oh, give me a break,
kyra. You're 14.

I didn't get pregnant
until I was 17.

You're right. Honor roll,
straight a's. I brought this on myself.

- We'll be your group.
- What?

Yeah. Van and I will go out
with you and scott. It'll be fun.

For who? Oh, come on, kyra.

We never get to
hang out together.

Let's not ruin that. Why
not? Van and I are cool.

No, you're parents, which
makes you by definition not cool.

Not cool? Well, a certain young
lady in cell block "c" would disagree.

Yeah. And besides,

Having a baby does not
automatically make you a parent.

That's the truth.

Hey, reba. Hey, barbra jean.

- Kyra's in the kitchen.
- I didn't come to get kyra.

- I came to talk to you.
- That's too bad.

You just missed me.

I need to ask you a question
that's a bit... Awkward.

Do you have to?

Don't we already have enough
uncomfortable moments between us?

Besides, I have a headache,

And I'm pretty sure it's
from the last time we spoke.

How did brock act when he and I
were sneakin' around behind your back?

- When? Who? What? What?
- I think brock's
havin' an affair.

And just like that,
my headache's gone.

[reba] 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 ♪♪

So you think brock's
havin' an affair,

And you figure I'm the one
to come talk to about this?

Well, I don't know anyone
else he's cheated on.

And just like that, the
headache's back. [Grunts]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I
know this is just terrible,

But it's drivin' me crazy.

Lately we have been fightin' a
lot, and now he's bein' all secretive.

See? That's the problem with
marrying the guy you had an affair with.

It destroys the trust.

Look, I'm sure there's a perfectly
good explanation for whatever he's done.

I don't know. You know, he
hasn't been at the golf course...

A couple of times when
I've tried to reach him.

He probably was. He just didn't
want you to bother him. Next.

The other day, he
was on the phone,

And when I came in
the room, he hung up.

As if the call were over? Next.

He's written a bunch
of checks out to "cash."

- How much cash?
- A couple thousand.

- Get a lawyer.
- [Grunts]

I knew it! I knew there
was another woman!

I just cannot believe
there is another woman.

How many women
does one man need?

- Are you smilin'?
- Oh, well, look...

You'll have to
understand that this is...

A very confusing
situation for me.

This is the worst
feeling I have ever had.

Oh, reba, I am so sorry if I ever
made you feel the way I feel right now.

Look, don't think of it as
brock gettin' a mistress.

Think of it as us gettin'
a new girl for our club.

Oh, god!

Barbra jean, you
can't go on like this.

You have to find
out if he's cheatin'.

Yeah. I just can't believe it.

You expect it from
other men, but not brock!

Just ask him. I can't, reba.

Next to havin' an affair,
accusing somebody of doin' it...

Is the best way to
break up a marriage.

Well, I don't know
what else to tell you.

You could ask him. [Laughing]

No. He would understand
it if you don't trust him.

No. No. No way. Please, reba?

Please, please, please? No!

Please? Please? No!

Pleeease!

Oh, all right! [Sobbing]

Man, you're way better
at that than kyra is.

Hey, guys. I have to go over to
brock and barbra jean's house.

Don't be surprised
if I come back drunk.

Wait. Hold on.

Wait. You're... You're leaving?
Who's gonna watch elizabeth?

- Oh, my gosh! That was close.
- Yeah.

I almost left her alone in
the house with her parents.

They all want grandchildren, but they
just don't think about the consequences.

Oh, kyra, I started to get
worried. Where's scott?

I don't know. He was supposed
to come over half an hour ago.

Did you call him?
It's no big deal.

He must have gotten hung up
somewhere. We'll just go out another time.

Oh, you poor thing. You know, you
shouldn't be home alone tonight.

Why don't you watch elizabeth,
and cheyenne and I will go out?

- Van.
- What? I said, "you poor thing."

It's okay. We'll wait on him. We've got
some time before mom comes back anyway.

Oh, you know, I just remembered.

I did talk to him, and
he had a game tonight.

Kyra, what's going on? Nothing.

Kyra. I don't want to
talk about it with you.

cheyenne.

- Do you wanna talk
about it with me?
- Sure.

Why don't you go make us
some tea, and I'll be in in a minute?

Okay.

- Bye.
- No. Kyra. Something's really wrong.

Cheyenne, I want to go home. No.
Not until you tell me what's going on.

Fine. I'll go out
the back. Kyra...

Where's the tea? I
can only find the salt.

Kyra. Fine!

He dumped me. Are you happy?

He what? Yeah. Scott
just broke up with me.

Oh.

Hey, there, pretty bride.

Anyone have any
objections now? [Sobs]

[knocking]

Hey, barbra jean...

- Hey, how you doin'?
- Oh, supergood. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, um, I'm just tryin'
to look on the positive side.

The good thing about your husband cheatin'
on you is my house has never been cleaner.

Oh, I wouldn't eat
that. They're for brock.

Oh, okay.

Oh, isn't it...

Look, wouldn't you rather
talk to brock about, uh,

Him havin' an affair, and
just call me about it later?

No, no, no. No.
I... No. I... Yeah.

I can't even look at him without thinking
about him in the arms of another...

[Hyperventilating]
barbra jean, breathe.

Breathe. Breathe.
Okay, fine. I'll ask him!

Calm down. Breathe.
[Breathing slows]

Happy thoughts.
Yeah. Happy thoughts.

Beanie babies. Beanie babies.

- Hey, honey. I'm back.
- [Hyperventilating resumes]

Hey, reba. How's it going?

Don't you wanna know what
that was about? Not really.

How good could it be? So,
what are you doin' over here?

Well, barbra jean and I
were gonna do something,

But now I guess
I'm off the hook.

So, do you know why
she keeps doing that?

Me? Nope.

Too bad, 'cause it's
really annoying.

Annoying? You
think she's annoying?

Your wife is in there "heep-heepin',"
and you have the nerve t...

Are you havin' an affair? What?

An affair. That thing where you
periodically ruin everybody's lives...

Because you still wanna feel 17.

Why would you ask me that?

Because that's why your
wife is so upset, you moron.

And because god does have a sense
of humor, she comes runnin' to me.

- I'm not havin' an affair, okay?
- And why am I supposed
to believe you?

Because I'm not dumb enough
to make the same mistake twice.

Oh, come on. You make
the same mistake twice,

You're just gettin' warmed up.

All right. Look.

If I tell you what's goin' on, will
you promise to keep it a secret?

Yeah, all right. What is it?

Okay. I gotta tell ya.

It's not an easy
thing for me to admit.

It's rude to talk
and eat. Go on.

Anyway, I've been thinking
about my life a lot lately.

I mean, I've got this
terrific wife, great kids,

Everything I ever dreamed
of, and I'm miserable.

It's like... [Sighs]

I've got it all, reba,
and I'm just not happy.

It's like I've lost the ability
to feel joy, so... [Chuckles]

So i... Went and
saw a therapist.

She told me that I'm
clinically depressed.

Really? Yeah.

She put me on antidepressants.
So that's what this is all about?

Yeah. So why didn't
you tell barbra jean?

You scared her to death.
'Cause I don't want her to know.

Are you serious?
You'd rather her think...

You're havin' an affair
than bein' on medication?

Well, one of them has a stigma.

Brock! No.

It makes me feel weak. Do you have
any idea how humiliating this is for me?

- I don't want her to know.
- Know?

- What don't you want me to know?
- That I'm having an affair.

You're cheatin' on me?

[Hyperventilating] brock, tell her
the truth. I hate that sound.

I'm seein' a therapist.

Who is she? What's
the tr*mp's name?

I'm seeing her professionally.
You're paying for it?

Oh!

Barbra jean, he's
not cheatin' on you.

- He's in therapy.
- Therapy? Why?

Well, there are
a lot of things...

That I've been burying deep for a
long time that I needed to confront.

You're g*y.

I knew you were
too good-lookin'!

He's not g*y. He's not
even that good-lookin'.

- He's clinically depressed.
- No, he's not.

Actually, I am, and the last


No. No, I'm sorry.

If my husband was depressed,
I think I'd know about it.

Well, he is, and he's
takin' antidepressants.

- You'd love that,
wouldn't you, reba?
- What are you talkin' about?

He's depressed. He's been
that way for a while now.

So when he ran off with me, it's
because he had a mental disease!

That's not a mental
disease. That's just bad taste!

All right. I think this is
getting a little out of hand.

Oh, how would you
know, you pill popper?

Hey, those pills
make me feel better.

Honey, you don't
need happy pills.

You only need me.

I will make you happy!

Barbra jean, he needs
your support right now.

He needs to get a grip.

You wanted to sell your dental
practice, I didn't make a peep.

You wanted to become a
professional golfer, I went along.

But I will not let you take pills
that make you a different person!

I will not let you say that
our marriage was a mistake!

Barbra jean... No!

And if you tell him any different,
you are no longer welcome here!

I don't ever wanna see
or talk to you again!

Maybe we should have
gone with the g*y thing.

Did you have a fight? Was
he seeing someone else?

Was he pressuring you, kyra?
I don't remember. I was high.

He was. What is wrong with
boys? What happened to morals?

You know what it is?
You know what it is? Mtv.

You see, this is exactly why


[Scoffs] why? 'Cause you shouldn't
get pregnant until you're 17?

Well, I don't even
recommend it then.

And it's not like 14-year-old
boys don't put on pressure too.

Yeah, but they're
really bad at it.

It doesn't matter
how old anyone is.

I'm not gonna do
something I'm not ready for.

Believe me, I'm not gonna
make the same mistakes you did.

Excuse me? Oh,
come on, cheyenne.

Living with you two is like living
in a public service announcement.

Oh, well, thank you very much.

I'm proud to be the older
sister you never want to be.

You didn't have to have a
baby to make me feel that way.

What was I thinking? I don't even
know why I try and even be nice to you.

- Do you even have any feelings?
- okay. Okay.

Can everybody please calm
down and stop acting like girls?

Cheyenne, kyra is lashing out at you
because her boyfriend just dumped her,

And she can't lash out at him.

And, kyra, cheyenne has
been through a lot, okay?

And she doesn't have to have it
repeatedly thrown back in her face.

She's a teenage
mother. Get over it!

Now, both of you say
something nice to each other.

You didn't dress that
badly for your date.

You didn't have a second baby.

Nicer.

Fine.

Well, you used to be
this superficial princess...

Who only cared about how she
looked and how popular she was.

Now you worry about your husband
and your baby and your little sister.

I still look good though, right?

You took a hard road, cheyenne,
but it made you a better person.

Well, I think you're
taking a hard road, kyra,

And it's gonna make
you a better person.

They're all hard roads.

The sucky thing is I
really did like him. I know.

You know, what are we
doing standing around here?

We are not gonna let that
idiot ruin our saturday night.

You got that right. What do you
say we go out and have some fun?

Yes! All right?

Whoo-hoo! All right.

Van? Huh?

You're watching
elizabeth. Of course I am.

Yeah.

this is great, mom. You never let
me have cookies this late at night.

Well, it's not the only
special thing you get tonight.

Look. What's this?

This is deodorant.

It's something you use
when you get a little older...

And your body starts to mature.

Is it because I smell?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Cool! Aha!

hey, guys. Listen,
buddy, can i...

Can I get a second with
your mom? Okay, dad.

Guess what? I got
my own deodorant.

Great. Rub some of
that onto your feet.

Listen, I want to thank you
for your support earlier.

- It meant a lot.
- Yeah.

You're flyin' high on your
happy pills, aren't ya? [chuckles]

No. In fact, I'm...

I'm thinkin' maybe I'm gonna stop
takin' those antidepressants.

- What?
- You know, it's like
barbra jean says.

Everybody goes through tough times.
You just have to learn how to deal with it.

Besides, I'm not even
sure I like my therapist.

You know, everything I say to
her, she says, "what, are you nuts?"

You're stoppin' them because
barbra jean wants you to.

That's not the only reason. I'm not
even sure those pills are workin'.

Brock, you gotta give 'em
time. It can take up to two weeks.

And you already said that
they're makin' you feel better.

Maybe it's not the pills. Maybe I'm
startin' to feel better on my own.

It doesn't work that way.
You got a chemical imbalance.

I don't know the medical term
for it, but your brain is all wacko.

Oh, really? And how
would you know?

What made you an expert on
antidepressants all of a sudden?

Because I've been on 'em. What?

Right after we broke
up, for about six months.

Well, why didn't you
tell me? Oh, I don't know.

Somehow I just felt
we weren't that close.

It's not easy to
admit you need help.

Especially for men.

And me.

But you can't fix the
problem by just wishin' it away.

Yeah. That's what
my therapist said.

If you don't think the pills are
doin' any good for you, then stop.

but this is not just
about your wife.

It's about your kids and your
friends and everybody else in your life.

Oh, man.

Barbra jean's gonna be
really unhappy about this.

Yeah, I know.

And when she finds out that I'm for
it, she's never gonna speak to me again.

- Don't worry. I'll keep you out of it.
- What, are you nuts?

Why should you be the
only one that's happy?

acme! [Coughing]
