03x01 & 03x02 - She's Leaving Home, Bye Bye

[bunniefuu]

[reba] now, previously on reba.

- We put a down payment
on a house.
- You did it?

You're buyin' a house in san
antonio? Well, not exactly.

Well, where is it then?

Twenty-six seconds door to door.

Okay, mom. Don't overreact.

[Sighs] but kyra is, um...

- She's thinkin' about moving in
with dad and barbra jean.
- What?

Yeah.

Oh, come on, mrs. H.
This is not like you.

What's not like me?

Well, you know, bein'
all soft and mushy.

I mean, usually you're all,
"grr! You don't scare me! I'm reba!"

[Chuckles]

Would you pray with me? Pray?

You mean to god? Yeah.

Yeah, sure. Yeah.

Could I ask just this
one little, bitty favor?

Lord, please don't let
me lose my daughter.

No, I've made my
decision already.

Okay.

[Whispers] no, just a second.

- Tell me.
- Van, quit breathin'
in my ear. It tickles.

Really?

Does this tickle?

Luke, I am your father! Quit.

[Grunting]

God, I wish they'd talk louder.

Yeah, I know. We're never gonna
find out what's happening with kyra.

Hey, what if I go downstairs
and pretend to get a sandwich,

But really I'd be
eavesdropping on 'em?

- No.
- Are you sure? 'Cause I'd
really like a sandwich.

How could you be thinking
about food at a time like this?

I don't know! Maybe
I have a tapeworm.

Great. Now they're
not even talking.

- Do you think they heard us?
- Pretty sure your mom did.

No way. She's totally
losing her hearing.

And her memory too. Last week,
she lost her keys three times.

I mean, she...

Hey, mom.

- Are you guys spyin' on us?
- Cheyenne was. I have a tapeworm.

Why do all of my kids think they can do
whatever they want, whenever they want...

As long as it makes them happy?

Well, guess what! Your happiness
is not the only thing that matters!

Ohh!

Van, she is really upset.

[door slams shut] I
can't believe kyra.

I'll say. I wonder
who she picked.

[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 ♪♪

- Morning, mom.
- Hey, look, honey. Sorry I
snapped at you last night.

Hey, you have every
right to be upset.

I mean, what kyra is doing
is a huge slap in the face.

It's like she's saying she'd
rather live with dad than you.

That is what she's sayin'.

And it is a huge
slap in the face.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, honey.

Hmm!

So you're still talking to me?

Sure! We're still talking
to her. Right, cheyenne?

Hmm!

Well, good, because I was
kind of afraid you'd be upset.

Ha! Why should I be upset?

You're the one that's gonna
have to live with barbra jean!

So, I think the first thing we
should do is talk to your dad...

So we can get you moved in
over there before school starts.

You're being really rational
about this. What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

Hey, once a decision has
been made, I'm on board.

I'm rowin' the boat. I'm
rowin', rational reba.

Okay. I'll call
him. Good. Perfect.

Bye, cheyenne. Hmm!

You look really nice today.

Hmm.

"Rowing, rational reba"?

I ran out of stuff to
say. This is k*lling me!

- Then make her stay.
- You can't make kyra
do anything.

I learned that during


Plus, this is not the first
time she tried to leave.

Kyra, honey,

It's gonna take a lot longer to move
in if you keep repackin' all the boxes.

I'm gonna go back to our
old house. I hate this one.

Oh, but, sweetheart,

A new family's already
moved into our old house,

And they already
have a cute little girl.

Not as cute as me.

Well, I can't talk to you.
Reba! Reba, we need you.

Oh, brock, for the 10th time...
Yes, I remembered the beer.

Kyra hates the new house.

What's wrong with
it, honey? It's too big!

Why do you think we bought it?

I say we just ground
her until she gets happy.

Brock, this is kyra.
She may never get happy.

You're sure you wanna
move out, honey? Yes.

Well, good for you! You know, it's
about time you struck out on your own.

You're really gonna
let me leave? Sure!

Why not get a jump
start on earning a living?

Have you thought about a career?

Maybe you can get a job
singin' that alphabet song.

Why don't you think about
it while you go pack? I will.

I know you will. Go to it, girl!

You know, I love
that little girl,

But part of me hopes she comes
down with a suitcase packed.

So that's your plan? Tell her
she can leave and hope she doesn't?

Well, if that fails, I can
always go to my backup.

If I can't depend on
kyra's love for me,

I can always depend on
your father's fear of me.

Hey, mom. What are you doing?

Oh, uh... [Chuckles]

Since you're movin' out, I'm
just, uh, totaling up your bill.

Let's see. You've been here


Will you take a check?

[Laughing]

No, I was just jottin' down some
things we need to talk to your dad about,

Like how much of your stuff
you want to move over there.

- You're being really cool.
- Ah, because I am really cool.

You know, lots of kids don't get
to live with a mom that's so cool.

Some kids just have
to live with weirdos.

Mom, i... I know this is hard.

It's fine. Your happiness is
the most important thing.

If you're happy, I'm happy.

Well, I'm happy. Great.

I'm gonna change the name on
the mailbox. We're "the happys."

[Forced laugh] [knocking]

Hey, reba. I got your message.

This is about kyra, right?
Yes. She's made her decision.

- I'm not gonna hurt you.
- Not if I keep my guard up,
you're not.

- So, did she pick me?
- Don't say it like that.

It's not a contest.
But, yes, you won.

- I don't know what to say.
- I do. Tell her she can't
move in with you.

I can't do that. I'm not gonna reject
my own daughter. There's no way.

Sure there is. I made
you a list of reasons.

What?

You can say, "I can't
afford it right now."

Or, "think how it will make
your brother and sister feel."

Or my favorite...
"Barbra jean drinks."

Get it straight, reba.
I'm the one who drinks.

And this sort of thing
is the reason why.

Look, brock, I know you have a
hard time sayin' no to your children...

And other women...

And a second helpin' of cake.

You know, I've said no
to lots of other women.

Heck, some of 'em even came
out of a big cake. [Mock laughing]

Kyra can't move in with you.

Look, we're havin' some
issues right now, and

We need some time to
deal with them. please.

Now, when she comes in here, let
me do all the talkin', and you just nod.

Yeah, but I don't...
Du-du-du-du!

Lips don't move when
you're noddin'. [Zipping sound]

Kyra? Honey, can you come
out here for just a second?

Your dad's here. Hey, dad.

Your dad says hi.

Listen, I told him about your
big decision, which I support 100%.

You know how cool I am.

Your dad, well,
he's not that cool.

He did bring up some good points,
and I think we need to hear him out.

Kyra... What your
dad means is...

Your moving in with him is gonna
make it really hard on your siblings.

And he doesn't think right now
that he can afford this move...

Mainly because
barbra jean drinks.

Dad, is my moving in
a problem for you?

He thinks it might
be, honey. Yes.

Dad? Yes.

I meant the other dad. The man.

Oh.

Kyra, honey, it's
no problem at all.

In fact, we'd be honored
if you'd move in with us.

Great! Thanks a lot, dad.

- Are we all good, mom?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Just goes to show that any
problem can be worked out.

[Forced laughing]

Except the one
between you and me. Ow!

Well, I couldn't say no.

Now, you turn that big, old golf-tanned
head towards me and open up your ear.

You are banned from
my life. Banned forever!

Say good-bye to big red!

For what? For
supporting my daughter?

She doesn't need your support.
She's trying to get away from me.

Really? I find that hard to
believe with your sunny disposition.

We'll talk about this later.
There is no later. We're done.

Oh, and one more thing.

If you weren't dead to me, I
would say, "this is not over."

That girl is not moving out.

Why are you still
standing there?

I don't talk to dead people.
Go on! Git! Reba, look...

Git! You gotta...

Did my dad leave? I
don't know. I can't hear.

I just hope she does
not lose her temper.

I mean, I swear, the older
she gets, the shorter her fuse.

It's just it's...

Hey, mom.

- [Nervous chuckle]
- would it help you to spy
if I talk louder?

And slower.

Look, mom. We are only listening
because we're concerned about you.

- I mean, is there
anything that we can do?
- Well, funny you should ask.

You know how I always try not to
put you between your father and me?

Yeah. Well, I need to put you
between your father and me.

I'm not talking to him anymore, so
if anything comes up about you kids,

I need you to be the go-between.

Look, mom, before you blame dad
for all this... Honey, honey, honey.

What goes on between your father
and me is none of your business.

Oh, uh, except when you
do that go-between thing.

Great. Now kyra's wrecked
mom and dad's divorce.

You guys want to
see a human skull?

Jake, the adults
are trying to talk.

But later I'd love to.

- Van, we should tell him.
- Okay, you're right. But you tell him.

- No! No way! Why do I have to tell him?
- 'Cause I called it.

All right. I'll tell him. Jake.

come here. Let's talk.

It might not be a human
skull. It's only this big.

Forget the skull, okay?

Look, i... I know that mom
probably wants to tell you this,

But I don't want you upsetting
her more than she already is.

But, jake, kyra's
moving in with dad.

Okay!

Well...

Oh, jakey!

You don't have to pretend
it doesn't upset you. Okay!

No, hold it. Hang on.

She's gonna be right up the street, and you
can play with her anytime that you want.

Why would I play
with her? She's a girl.

That is true. [Chuckles]

I mean, she's your sister, and you want
her to know you're not upset with her.

I'm not. Well, you could be.

Uh-uh. It's possible.

Nah. Don't say "nah"
like you don't care.

I don't. Well, you
should, you little robot!

We're supposed to be
making him feel better.

But he's gotta feel bad
first, the little freak!

- I'm out of here.
- Yeah, yeah.

Don't come back until you
find yourself a heart, tin man!

Would you calm down? It doesn't
even matter. Of course it matters!

His sister is breaking
his mother's heart.

All right. Listen to me.
She is not gonna leave.

Wait a minute. You know
something that I don't?

Oh, yeah.

What is it, van? You've got
to tell me. Okay, okay, okay.

Look, everything
is gonna be okay...

Because your mom
and i, we prayed.

Did you pray that I
wouldn't slap you?

Why would we pray that?

Don't give me hope and
just take it away like that!

What are you talking
about? It's a sure thing!

What makes you think praying
for something makes it a sure thing?

Because I have only prayed for one
thing before, and it came through big-time.

- Oh, yeah? What'd you pray for?
- I prayed for you.

Oh, van.

Oh!

I gotta go see that skull! Jake!

Here, mom. Hey, jake.
What are those for?

I'm never leaving you,
mom, not even when I'm 40.

[Laughing] oh!

Honey, thank you.

When I die and get "ash-mated,"

I want my ashes put
in a jar by your bed.

Then I'll be the first thing
you see every morning.

That just went from
sweet to creepy.

[knocking]

Hey, reba.

We need to talk
about our situation.

[Humming sound]

- What are you doing?
- Tryin' to make you
disappear.

Fine. You got four sheets.
Grab a corner and start yakkin'.

Reba, did you know the universe
contains millions of planets?

And yet earth is the
one your ship landed on.

Millions of planets revolvin'
around millions of suns...

Revolvin' around
millions of galaxies...

That all revolve around one
point in the center of the universe.

- And?
- That point... Is not you!

- Folding's over.
- You're being very
self-centered, reba.

And how self-centered would you be
if your baby came over to live with me?

He went to you once. You
had a cookie. Get over it.

And besides, brock is
not doing this to hurt you.

Oh! So, you think I'm being too
hard on him and I should forgive him.

Well, let's face it. You're
going to eventually.

Everyone forgives hunky bear.

[knocking]

[brock laughs] oh, man.

It's that new girl you
hired for the office.

She's a heapin' bushel of crazy.

Oh, brock, give her
a chance. I like her.

Hey, mrs. Hart, dr. Hart.

- Call me reba.
- Well, reba.

[giggles] I would've rung your
doorbell, but you don't have one, so...

Oh. ♪ Bing-bong ♪

♪ bing-bong, bing-bong ♪

♪ Bing-bong ♪♪

Well, here you go.
Happy housewarmin'.

It's 12 different kinds
of barbecue sauces.

I figured you could get a
lot of use out of those, brock.

Call me dr. Hart.

Dr. Hart. Sorry.

Um, well, anyway, the salesman said that
these would make a dead cat taste good.

Not to imply that
you eat dead cats.

[Whispering] shut up, barbra
jean. You're blowing it.

It's okay. It's okay, barbra
jean. You hate me, don't you?

Dead cat. I'm so stupid!

Oh, hey, mrs. Hart. I hear
you eat dead cats! Ohh!

oh, man! Ohh!

Barbra jean, it's okay. Oh,
I can't lose another job.

The agency stops sending
you out if you lose 10!

Barbra jean, I hired you...

Because I like you.

And no matter what you do
or say, I will always like you.

Promise? Cross my heart.

Then come here, you.

I'm gonna give you so much
sugar, your teeth'll hurt.

[Gasps] oh!

Easy there, gentle
ben. I'm breakable.

Are you okay with me, dr. Hart?

Yeah, yeah. Sure. But my
wife does all the hugging.

Oh, I do not! Jump
in there. Okay.

oh!

[Grunts] I'm sorry.

I'm... I'm very touchy-feely.

I think it's 'cause I felt like my
parents never gave me enough love.

Well, it's certainly not
because you wouldn't open up.

So, uh, well, we've got a
lot of unpackin' left to do...

And, uh, well, thanks
for the dead cat sauce.

Oh, right! And thank
you for the hugs.

You bet. I have a feelin'
we're gonna be great friends.

♪ Bing-bong, bing-bong ♪

I don't know about this, reba.

Are you really sure she's the right
person to replace you down at the office?

She seems a
little... Ha... Extreme.

Yes. Yes, she's perfect.

She's big and silly and makes a
man want to come home to his wife.

Fine. Boy, I pity the poor guy
that winds up marrying her.

Oh, man!

You know what? I
did make a mistake.

Okay.

From now on, I don't want
to see you either. What?

You heard me! From now on, I
want you both out of my life.

You're mrs. Dead to me.

We were just comin' in. I
mean, we didn't hear anything.

We sure didn't. But
thanks for talkin' slower.

[Tv playing, indistinct]

Okay, kyra. Here's your
collection of bowling ba*ls.

Why is your stuff so heavy?

- I have a lot of books, van.
- Oh. Books. Right.

Ever heard of a thing
called paperbacks?

Now, here's a
book. The old bible.

The old, dependable bible.

Filled with stories of
people who prayed for stuff...

And got what they prayed for.

Excuse me for a minute, god. I have to
go to the car now with kyra's suitcases.

[Imitating radio static] over.

You know, it works
better if you read it.

Oh, well, I guess
it's time to go.

Hmm!

She's been workin' on that
speech for over a week.

Bye.

Well, except for good-bye, I
guess there's nothing left to say.

Okay, kyra! [Laughing] you win.

- What?
- You win, kiddo. You made your point.

Now, I am willing to negotiate.
What's your number one demand?

You want a later curfew? You
wanna listen to your music louder?

You wanna start calling me reba?

I don't have any demands.
That's not what this is about.

Then what am I doin'
that's drivin' you nuts?

Or what am I not doin'
that's drivin' you nuts?

Please tell me, because
it's drivin' me nuts!

You belong here.

Where, mom? Between van
and cheyenne and their kid?

They're the family in this house
now, and I'm not in that family.

Oh, kyra, you're just saying that
kind of stuff because you're upset.

What do you want me to do,
kick 'em out? I can't do that.

I know you can't.
But I can kick me out.

Kyra, you and cheyenne will
always have your differences.

That's what sisters do.

Some sisters sing and dance
together and make millions.

Others just argue.

Well, I'm done arguing.

Okay. All right. Hang
on just a second.

This is serious.

You need to know
that if you do this,

You can't just undo
it anytime you want.

Choices have consequences.

If you move out, you
don't move back in.

So, do you want to
change your mind?

Oh, yeah.

Good-bye, mom.

Man, it's weird around
here without kyra.

I said something dumb this
morning, and no one made fun of me.

[Sighs] if I miss kyra, imagine
how your mom must feel.

When mom comes in, we are
gonna have to cheer her up, okay?

We are gonna have to show
her that this is still a happy home.

Hey, you know what we should
have? Smiley-face pancakes.

Do you think your
mom will make 'em?

hey, mom.

It's a beautiful
day. Don't you think?

I know you weren't asking
me, cheyenne, but I do think so.

Don't you agree, mrs. H?

What do I look like to you?

Aw, geez. Cheyenne?

I mean, do I look like someone who's
happy because one of her kids moved out?

We're just trying to
make you feel better.

Well, excuse me if I'm not all
happy and don't want to celebrate.

Neither should you two.

Mom, can I have kyra's key?

Where's your key? I
told you not to lose it.

I didn't lose it. I sold it.

Well, then get it
back and give it to me.

- What will you give me for it?
- A slightly shorter lecture.

Can I have her key?

Nobody gets her key, van, because
she's coming back. Right, mom?

No, she's not. It's
a one-way move.

Then can I have her key? I
mean, wh-what if I lose my key?

Stop asking about the key!

I lost my key. Oh!

I gotta get outta here.

Meet me in the garage later.

I can solve your key problem.

Cheyenne, what are we gonna do?

We are gonna go over there,
and we are gonna tell kyra...

That she has got to get
her butt back over here.

I don't know. I mean, I
already asked god to do it.

He's gonna think we
have no confidence in him.

Well, did you ever think that maybe us
going over there is how god wants it done?

Oh, man! This
religion thing is hard.

I mean, who knows? Maybe we're the ones
who are supposed to stop kyra from leaving.

- No! That's not
what I asked for!
- What did you ask for?

Well, your mom prayed that kyra
would stay, and I asked god to do it.

And then I closed with a joke.

- A joke?
- Yeah.

- What joke?
- I told him he could throw in
a corvette if he wanted.

Van, you don't joke with
god. Heaven is not vegas.

God has a great sense of
humor. Look at ostriches.

Look, a corvette.

A corvette. A corvette!

It's a sign!

- What are you talking about?
- My prayer got answered!

God put the
corvette in the cereal.

But, see, I had to pull it out.

You see, you have to make
your own prayers come true.

God rewards effort!

So, are you saying that we
should go over and get kyra?

Cheyenne, try to keep up.

Hey, honey. What ya looking at?

Do these freshly painted walls
make our furniture look shabby?

I know where this is
goin', and I'm out of money.

But we really
need new furniture.

Please, brock?

Barbra jean, you already
bought some furniture, didn't you?

No! oh, man!

oh, hey, honey. How'd you
sleep? Was everything okay?

I'm sorry I didn't have time to move
my stuffed animal collection out.

Oh, that's all right. I threw
them out on the front lawn.

Oh, you. Oh, god.

Hey!

So, how's your mom doin'? Is
she taking everything okay?

Has she been hittin'
the goof juice?

Actually,

That's what we came
here to talk about.

No. No. No way. I'm not goin'
over there to talk to her.

Not after the
things she said to me.

We came to talk to kyra.

Yeah. Okay. Fine.
Good. No, that's good.

Hey, van! Van! How 'bout I
give you the grand tour?

Two guys looking
at a house? Yeah.

I don't think so.

Okay. Barbra jean.

what do you say you and I go get a
piece of that bundt cake you made?

Okay. Hey, wouldn't
it be crazy...

If there were all new
plates in the kitchen?

Don't tell me you need help with
homework already. Just sound it out.

Okay, kyra.

I promised van that I
would be nonjudgmental.

So, in the spirit of being fair,

I just want to
say... You're evil!

And you're blonde,
and van's a doofus.

Did we really need a meeting?

Okay, okay. We got
off on the wrong foot.

Cheyenne did not mean
that the way it came out.

You are being a self-centered,
heartless, selfish little brat.

[Chuckles] again, she slipped.

- Mom's gonna be fine.
- No! No, she's not. This is k*lling her.

You're making her feel
like a failure as a parent.

- And you're her success story?
- What are you talking about?

"Hey, mom, guess what. I'm 17,
and you're gonna be a grandma!"

Hey, that's different. We
didn't have a choice, and you do.

You didn't have a choice? Since when is
getting pregnant required in high school?

Hey, you don't know what's
required in high school!

Well, did you do it?

Yeah. Van.

Yeah? This feels really wrong.

Wrong like "you're pregnant"
wrong or wrong like...

Well, what else is
there? Are you pregnant?

I... I don't know yet. It... It takes a
minute. It's just this whole thing.

I mean, sneaking around my
room, lying to our friends.

Lying to my mother.

We should've planned better.
We are smarter than this, van.

Oh, cheyenne.

No, we're not. What?

Well, love isn't somethin'
you plan. It just happens.

Like athlete's foot. Love
is like athlete's foot?

Well, yeah, kinda. I mean, both have good
consequences and bad consequences.

What good consequences does
athlete's foot have? Well, I'll tell you.

I wash my feet a lot more.

Look, I'm really scared right now,
and you're just yapping about your feet.

Okay, honey, honey.
Calm down. Okay?

We're both under a
lot of stress right now.

You might be pregnant,
and I might be the father.

You might be the father? Ow!

How could you say something like
that? I don't wanna be presumptuous.

It's a little late for
that, van. Okay, okay.

Look, I want you
to know something.

That if we are pregnant,

This baby will have more love
than he'll know what to do with.

So, you'd want to keep the baby?

Of course I do, sweetie. He'll
be the best part of you and me.

Oh, van.

You know, it could be a girl.

Come on. I'm a football player.

Everything I know about
genetics screams "dude."

So, should we go check?

Okay.

It's two lines! Two lines?

Yes! Two lines!
You're not pregnant.

No. No. No, wait, van. No, two
lines means that I'm pregnant.

No, it doesn't. No, it
doesn't. No, it doesn't!

I have my whole life
ahead of me here!

I thought you said this
would be wonderful.

Yeah, I was a kid then. Now
I'm an expectant father!

And how come you're
suddenly so calm?

I don't know.

I guess it's because
I know that I am...

And I know what I'm gonna do.

Now, hold on, cheyenne.
You can't just make a decision.

I mean, this could ruin all
our plans, all our dreams.

What about becoming a zookeeper?

I mean, I'm never gonna become
a zookeeper, but what if I was?

You can't have wild
animals with a baby!

I'm keeping her, van.

Wow. Yeah.

Yeah, and I know that we're gonna
have to deal with all of that hard stuff.

But it won't change my
mind. I... I mean, I have to.

Then I wanna be with
you 100% of the way.

mom! [Nervous laugh]

This door is not
supposed to be closed.

Uh, sorry, mom. Sorry, mrs. H.

- I'm not kiddin'.
- Okay, mom.

You're embarrassing me.

I've got my eye on you two.

[Scoffs]

Your mom is so suspicious!

Tell me about it.
Thanks for trusting us.

So, what's your point, kyra?

Yeah, so we decided that we were
gonna have elizabeth and keep her.

And that you would get
married and move in with

Us, making me the one
nobody thought about.

- Are you saying you
moved out because of us?
- That's right.

So before you start coming
down on me for hurting mom,

Maybe you oughta think about
how much of it is your fault.

- Come on, van. Let's go.
- Oh, now you're gonna cry?

No, I'm not gonna cry!

Come on! As if that's the
worst thing I've ever said to you.

Although it is right up there
with "mrs. Forrest gump."

Just leave me alone,
okay? I know I'm a

Horrible person! I get
it. Thank you very much!

Stop it, okay? I wasn't trying
to hurt you. Yes, you were!

Okay, I was, but I want
you to stop crying.

Why are you both so crazy?

[all sobbing]

Hey, why is everybody cryin'?

Oh, it's okay!

It's okay.

We're gettin' new furniture.

[Crying]

Reba. Get out.

We need to have a family meeting.
We're not a family anymore.

Fine! Then it's a
hootenanny without banjos.

I told you, I don't want to see you,
and I don't want to talk to you, dead man.

But we got trouble, reba.

Look, this whole thing
is gettin' out of control.

Cheyenne came over, and she
and kyra got into a big argument.

- Cheyenne, you need to
mind your own business.
- But it is our business.

Because of elizabeth and god
and the corvette in the cereal.

Right over my hair spray.

It's our fault, mom. Kyra
moved out because of us.

Hey, that's why you were
mad at us this morning.

- No, it's not.
- No. It's okay. I can handle it, mom.

You can tell me. I'm a big girl.

I can handle it. [Sobs]

Look, honey. Someone very
irritating once told me...

That there are
millions of suns...

circling around
millions of galaxies...

Circling around just
one point in the universe.

- And?
- That point is not you.

That irritating person was me.

You thought of that?
That's really good.

I'm sending it to
reader's digest.

Look, guys. There's a lot
of reasons why kyra left.

No one person's to blame.

Wait a second. You've
been blaming me.

'Cause it's all your fault.

You k*ll me. You actually
believe everything is my fault.

When this family split up, you were the
only one who had a choice in the matter.

What?

Oh, nothing.

Could you please not
get that all creased?

I haven't read that section yet.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Here. You read it first.

Could we go one morning
without an argument?

I don't know, brock.
Could we go one morning

Where you put the
toaster under the counter?

- I forgot.
- You didn't forget!

You did it deliberately
because you know it bothers me.

I did not! I told you, I hate having to
take it out from underneath the counter...

Then put it back again when
I'm gonna use it the next day.

- How hard is it to put it away?
- It's hot! I'll get burned!

Well, somebody's got
to put it away. Why?

Because it doesn't belong here!

Yeah, well, you know what?

Your car doesn't belong
on my side of the garage...

So that mine barely fits in
there when I get home from work.

I'm tired of having to crawl
out the passenger side!

Well, I can't park up against
the wall. I'll get burned!

You know what?

Maybe you should have the
whole garage to yourself,

And I should get an apartment where
no one cares where I leave the toaster.

Well, maybe you should.

Really?

Is that what you want?

All I know is, this
isn't working anymore.

So, what are you talking about?

I'm talking about
taking a break.

I think we could use
a little time apart.

Fine. Then go. Reba, look...

No. Go! Let me tell
you this, brock.

If you walk through that door, it may
not be open when you wanna come back.

I'll start lookin'
for another place.

okay. yeah. Okay.

mom, you're not gonna
let him go, are you?

Cheyenne!

No, mom. Go after him!
Talk to him. Work this out.

You heard him. We need a break.

- But you told him that
he couldn't come back.
- I didn't mean it literally.

I just meant, "you're bein' a jerk
and I wanna hurt you." He knows that.

Are you sure?

He'll come back.

See? He came back.

He just brought his new wife.

And maybe kyra will come
back with a new mother.

And maybe brock will
come back to a new table.

Fine! I'll go talk to kyra.

Hey.

I just brought you a "welcome
to the neighborhood" present.

Did you get that out
of mr. Parker's yard?

Well, yeah. There's not a store
between my house and here.

Thanks. So, uh,
how are you doing?

- Bad.
- What?

I'm doing really bad, and I
need to talk to you about it.

- I don't think I want to
have this conversation.
- Oh, I know you don't.

That's because I let you
off too easy before, kyra.

I let you think that your happiness
was the only important thing.

But I realized that your
happiness is tied in to my happiness.

Mom... No, no, no.
No. Just hear me out.

Kyra,

There are millions of
suns circling millions...

And that point is
not me. I know, mom.

I told that to barbra jean.

I love you, kyra.

And when someone
you love rejects you,

Your first instinct is to protect
yourself by pretending it's no big deal.

But it is. There's
no bigger deal.

Why are you
telling me this, mom?

Are you just trying
to make me feel awful?

Oh, yeah! That was my plan.

Come over here, steal a gnome, tell
you I love you just to make you feel awful.

What do you want from me?

Is this my key? Yeah,
you owe jake five bucks.

It means my door's always open.

I thought you said I
couldn't come back.

I didn't mean it.

So why did you say it?

Because sayin', "y'all come back
now, ya hear?" Would've sounded dumb.

Look, kyra, when I finally realized
that you were leavin', I lost it.

I'm not that good at
being dumped. Ask your dad.

So, what are you saying?

That apparently we've
been fightin' about

Everything except what
we're really mad about.

And maybe if I'd known
how you felt two years ago,

We wouldn't be here.

So, we can keep fighting just as long
as we know what we're fighting about?

We can give it a
try. I'm excited.

Okay.

Mom, you know I didn't
do this to hurt you.

I know, sweetie.

So, I guess I oughta be goin'.

Bye, mom.

Y'all come back now! [Chuckling]

Ya hear?

[Kisses]

acme! [Coughing]
