## Season 1
### Pilot [1.01]

    [First lines of the series, as Bobbie rings the bell for the very first time and announced that Happy's Place is opened for business.]
    Bobbie: Okay, everybody ready? Okay. Alrighty, then. Happy's Place is opened for business! What?
    Gabby: My sweet, brave Bobbie. No one sees your pain, no one but me. No. Come on. Come on.
    Bobbie: Gabby, remember how, like, 10 minutes ago, I told everybody that now was not the time to be grieving my daddy?
    Gabby: I do. I marveled at your strength.
    Bobbie: And the best way that we could honor his memory is by remembering what he told us. People come to Happy's Place to leave their troubles behind. So let's go out there and show them the smiles on our faces, not the...
    Bobbie and Gabby: (together) Tears in our eyes.
    Gabby: That's right. Oh, see what you do to me? You know, I'm a wreck.
    Bobbie: Something is wrong with her. Hey, can I get you something to drink?
    Isabella: I'm not sure. I'd love something for my nerves, but I'm worried it's a little early.
    Bobbie: What you need is some Tennessee coffee.
    Isabella: What's that?
    Bobbie: Whiskey.
    Isabella: Sounds good. Hold the cream and sugar.
    Bobbie: I'm Bobbie.
    Isabella: I'm Isabella.
    Bobbie: Oh, nice to meet you.
    Isabella: Likewise.
    Bobbie: So, you're a little nervous? Let me guess. Somebody's been ghostlighting you. That's what your kids say, right?
    Isabella: I think you mean "Gaslighted" or "Ghosted". And no, I'm waiting on someone, but he's running a little late.
    Gabby: So you're worried you're being floundered.
    Isabella: I don't know what that means.
    Gabby: Yeah, well, it's pretty new. Probably haven't heard of it yet.
    Bobbie: Go do something over there.
    Gabby: Yep.
    Bobbie: So who's this guy making you wait?
    Isabella: I got this phone call from an attorney and he said it was really important, but that he couldn't tell me anymore except in person. So, I'm like, why not? I mean, it's crazy, but it's kind of fun, too. Right?
    Bobbie: I wouldn't think so. No. Sounds sketchy to me. So, no more coffee for you until he gets here and I can check him out.
    Isabella: Okay, well, can I have a tea, then? And by that, I mean "Gin". So I'm sorry, but did I hear your father just died?
    Bobbie: I hope so. We buried him.
    Isabella: Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.
    Bobbie: Oh, no, no, no. It's perfectly fine. He would have loved that joke. He was a great man.
    Isabella: Must be hard.
    Bobbie: Yeah. I miss him like crazy, but I'm blessed. Not many daughters get to spend as much time with their daddies as I did.
    Isabella: I envy you. That sounds amazing.
    Jim: Hey, Bobbie. I've got the papers. Can we meet in your office?
    Bobbie: You got it, Jim. Nice to meet you, Isabella.
    Jim: Wait, you're Isabella? Great. I'm Jim Jackoway. I called you. I'm meeting with you, too.
    Isabella: Well, this is weird. Are you sure I'm supposed to be here?
    Bobbie: I'm sure Jim will explain everything.
    Jim: I know this is odd, but there's been a little hiccup with Happy's will, and Isabella, you're here because you two share something in common.
    Bobbie: What's that?
    Jim: A father. You're sisters.
    Bobbie and Isabella: (together) Wait, sisters?
    Isabella: Hey, we said that exactly alike.
    Isabella: You see, I'm gonna make a difference.
    Bobbie: It's not fair. Don't compliment me when I'm mad.
    Isabella: Growing up, I always wanted a big sister.
    Bobbie: Oh, honey. This is Tennessee. I'm old enough to be your great-grandma.

    Gabby: Oh, don't touch anything!
    All: What?!
    [Song: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". The final scene where Isabella, still wearing reindeer antlers on top of her head, glows her very shiny bright red nose on her nose, just like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer did in the 1964 Christmas special: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", while everybody sings a Christmas song about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.]

    Bobbie: I know, that's a figure of speech, but cut back on your water.
    Gabby: Right. It's just, you know, ever since she's been deployed, we never get to see her.
    Isabella: I really wanted to meet her at the airport 'cause the only thing better than finally meeting my niece would be to end up in one of those viral military family reunion videos that always makes me ugly cry.
    Gabby: So, how is Gracie handling the news of her grandfather's extramarital "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"?
    Bobbie: Well, it was a very weird Zoom call. But, I think she's coming around with it all now.
    Isabella: Good. 'Cause I really want this to go well. What did you tell her about me?
    Bobbie: Well, I told her that you were like a little puppy in a field of sunflowers and not to take it out on you.
    Isabella: Really? She hates puppies and sunflowers?
    Gabby: Oh, yeah. And the phrase "sweater weather", and tiny dogs in strollers. Oh, and she really hates sweaters on tiny dogs in strollers.
    Bobbie: You're just totally different people. You're sweet and sensitive, and she likes to shoot things.
    Gabby: Right. She's G.I. Joe and you're "Gee, I hope you like me."!
    Bobbie: Don't you worry about a thing. I'm gonna be here every step of the way to make sure everything goes smoothly.
    Isabella: You don't have to worry, we'll be fine. Yes, I'm excited. But, I'm an adult. I'll be cool.
    Gracie: I'm back.
    Isabella: She's here.
    Gracie: I've been gone for a while. Where's Grandpa Happy?
    Bobbie: My baby girl is home.
    Gracie: Hey, mama.
    Bobbie: Aww.
    Gracie: Time.
    Bobbie: Okay.
    Gracie: Hey, Aunt Gabby.
    Gabby: Hey, kiddo. Wow. You smell amazing. What's that perfume?
    Gracie: Camel. You can't get it off you.
    Gabby: Camels. Now that's an animal that can hold its water.
    Bobbie: Gracie, Isabella. Isabella, Gracie.
    Gracie: Hi. My mom has told me all about you.
    Isabella: Family doesn't shake hands. Get over here. I'm your Tia Isabella. I'm sorry, I'm getting so worked up. It's just, I've wanted to meet you ever since I found out I had a niece. You're so big.
    Gracie: Aww. She's so cute. She's like a tiny dog in a stroller.
    Gracie: Uh, hey, mama, didn't he say "The MacAllister Girls"?
