The Unicorn

The Unicorn S01E10 Anna and the Unicorn Original Air Date on Dec 12, 2019

I have this friend Wade,

and I just feel like you guys would really hit it off.

- Yeah, I'm in. - Oh, that's great!

I'm Anna, by the way.

- You're Delia's Anna? - And you're Delia's Wade.

- I am. - It was very nice meeting you, Wade.

Wade, what's up?

It was really nice to meet you.

Are you okay, Dad?

- Huh? - What is wrong with you?!

So... my dad was smiling and dancing all morning.

And even gave me an extra dollar for lunch

and said "Knock yourself out",

- so you know what that means, don't you? - Yeah. Candy.

You totally get me.

Listen...

Wade is feeling good. Mm, that woman's got him doing

backflips, singing spirituals.

Natalie said that?

No, but that's how I imagine it.

All this from one kiss?

Mm-hmm.

If this is first base,

what is gonna happen if that boy

makes it all the way home?

I called it.

Mm-hmm. I knew Anna was gonna be right for Wade.

What are you doing with those things?

This is how they work, Forrest.

- Oh, this is gonna be so good for us. - For us?

Yeah. Me and Anna.

And you. It's gonna be good for everyone.

Oh, yeah.

I don't think you're doing that right.

Yes, I am, Forrest.

Try not to mansplain... aah!

Do you have to let the dogs

up on everything? Seriously?

I got to say, I'm getting excited.

I mean, I hope she's getting excited.

You think she's getting excited?

Did she talk about me at all?

We're doctors. So it's not like we sit around the break room

braiding each other's hair, talking about boys.

You know, we're, we're pretty busy.

- Saving lives. - Yeah. Of, of course.

- I'm sorry, I'm just a little nervous. - I'm just kidding.

We totally talk about boys.

Specifically you. And she likes you.

She, like, likes you likes you.

- Really? - Yeah.

- That's so great. - I know.

- She's so much fun. - Yeah.

She's so spontaneous.

She's an infectious disease specialist. It's like,

when you've seen enough people who've just been ravaged

by incurable flesh-eating parasites,

you really learn to live in the moment.

- Yeah. - Spread 'em.

I mean, I have two kids.

So spontaneity is not really my strong suit.

I just... Oh, I hope I can keep up with her.

- Keep up with who? - Oh, uh... Uh, just a date.

Nobody, nobody special.

Nice attitude.

The guy came in with the Chinese food.

- Can I have a credit card? - Yeah.

- Just a date? - Yeah. Just a date.

- Okay. - What?

They don't need to know that.

That you like her?

Yeah. Okay. A little. Yeah.

I do. I do.

Yes!

I knew it!

Everyone should listen to me all of the time.

Okay. I should probably go. So, you...

have fun.

Oh, Joyce, hi. Okay,

just one more cuddle before I go.

Don't you touch that dog.

I do not have time to roll you again,

- you back away. - Okay.

Looking good, Dad.

Thank you. Why'd you guys order so much food?

I couldn't remember if we like

chow mein or lo mein, so we ordered both.

I won't be late. Lock the door.

I've got my phone.

And don't eat those fortune cookies without me.

Of course not.

I think it's sesame noodles that we like.

Dad, can we order more?

- Nope. - Aw.

This table is amazing.

I was just happy to get a reservation, but, wow,

they really pulled out all the stops, huh?

Actually, I may have told the hostess that it's your birthday

and you got a promotion. So if you could just play along,

- that'd be really great. - Birthday and a promotion?

- Life is good. I just have one question for you. - Yes.

How old am I today?

Thirty-five.

That's the best birthday ever.

Oh, my God.

It was so cute seeing Wade so excited.

I'm excited. And nervous.

No. Don't worry.

Wade's gonna be just fine.

Long as he doesn't say too much or get too intense,

overthink anything, act weird, or try to be funny,

he's good.

God, that's a lot of caveats.

It is, but when you're first dating somebody,

you have to present the best version of yourself.

Bingo. There's no you like early date you.

Oh, true. Early date me didn't wear my glasses

for the first three weeks I knew you.

But you were still a big, fine blur of a man.

Early date Forrest

- brought me soup when I was sick. - Aw...

Yeah. He said he made it himself,

- but I knew he got it at a restaurant. - That's sweet.

But now he leaves the door open when he sits on the toilet.

If you want me to listen to you while you're telling me

about your day, I got to keep the door open.

Otherwise, it would be rude.

- How am I gonna hear you? - Great logic.

You want me to be rude? God.

I mean, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I think you're just damned if you do.

Hey.

Do you remember that

German film that we talked about seeing together?

- No. - Well, I feel really bad

because I already saw it with Anna.

- Okay. - I'm sorry.

I will happily see it again with you if you want.

No, seriously. I don't remember us talking about this at all.

Thanks for understanding. Whew.

Will you please just finish it? You sure?

100%.

Yeah, for some reason no one ever wants

to finish the dessert. By the end,

it's like splitting an atom.

Okay. I'm going in.

- Good. - I'm doing it.

Did you just oink at me?

Maybe. Okay.

This is your bite.

Here we go.

I can take your check whenever you're ready. Thanks.

Oh. Ooh,

uh... oh, oh, my God, it's 11:00.

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah. It's-it's 11:00.

- Yes. - Guess we lost track of time.

- Yeah. - Yeah. Oh, no, come on.

I got this.

- I've got to get home to Grace and Natalie. - Yeah.

This was the most amazing night ever.

I thought so, too.

- To be continued? - Definitely.

How's tomorrow?

Oh! Was that too soon? Of course that was too soon.

- I'm sorry. You have so much going on. - No, no, I can make that work.

- Tomorrow it is. - Okay.

Okay.

Aw. I taste the cake.

Guys.

- Mm? - We're closed.

Ah, yes, sorry.

- Right. - Uh, okay.

You waited for me.

Hey. Let's go to bed.

Ooh. Ooh.

No. Got to walk.

- What? - You got to walk. You got to walk.

Got to walk, got to walk. Ow.

- Good morning, girls. - Morning.

Sorry I was late last night, but I made fortune cookie pancakes.

Ooh.

So, good date?

Yeah, it was, uh, you know, it was fun.

What about you girls? Did you have fun last night?

Yeah. We watched the first half of six different Netflix shows.

They've got this new one where a vampire commits suicide.

Please don't watch that.

Hey, I was wondering

if you guys thought it was cool

if I go out again tonight?

Dad, come on. I was gonna go over to Nika's house.

Her and Jenna were making

TikTok videos last night, and I felt totally left out.

I'm sorry.

You're right.

- Sorry about that. - I mean,

it would be another thing if my friends could come over here.

While I'm not home?

You know that we don't do that.
