Frankie Meets Jack

You want me to tell that story?

They're gonna make a record of it on video.

No, it's fine, it's fine.

Everybody wants to know how old couples met

and stayed together, go ahead.

Okay.

She peed on me.

Oh, do you have to start the story like that?

I thought she peed on me.

When he says she, he means Maggie,

Maggie, the dog.

Yeah, and it bothered you so much,

you, you asked me to go dancing immediately.

Talk about romance.

Uh, woman, we didn't have any time for romance.

My leg was soaking wet.

- Captain romantic. - Yeah.

Well, it worked, didn't it?

Yes, it did.

And as they say, the rest is history.

Oh.

Good morning!

Melody, my alarm is set for seven.

I still have three minutes.

I know, I'm sorry.

It's just I'm really excited.

Are you excited?

Yes, I'm, I, I'm very excited.

Oh, thank you.

Today is a big day.

You two are meant to be together

and you're gonna finally meet in person.

What are you gonna wear?

Uh, sweats, Chucks, you know the drill.

Sweats?

First impressions are everything.

Okay, but if this guy's gonna spend

the rest of his life with me,

shouldn't he know who I am from the get-go?

Okay, friend to friend, are you sure you wanna wear sweats

to meet the love of your life?

Yes, I am.

No more guys like my ex,

or my ex before him.

- Hmm. - Ugh.

I'm getting back out there, but in my own way.

Fair enough.

Hmm.

I know you've really been looking forward to this.

It's gonna be perfect.

Thanks, Mel.

Oh, by the way, I used your new loofah,

but it was kind of moldy, so I threw it out.

Mel, that is a sea sponge.

That's what they look like.

Cool.

Never gets any easier, does it?

You're lucky it's your off day today.

You just rest up, bud.

How bet if I make you some breakfast, all right?

- That sound good? - Yeah? Attaboy.

Oh, good morning, Dr. Shaw.

Good morning.

You've got gastroenteritis in room A,

skin lumps in B, and kennel cough in C.

- Thank you, Tara. - Of course.

By the way, you need to leave early today.

You've got a meeting with your wedding planner, 4 pm.

- Great. - Here’s what we’re gonna do,

one more round of diagnostic testing, little blood work,

and an abdominal ultrasound, and we will get to the bottom

of what's going on with Tiffany here.

Okay, Frankie, deep breaths.

He's going to love you, probably.

Eventually.

Frankie, you look just like your picture.

Thank you.

So how do you motivate yourself and others

to accomplish tasks?

I'm sorry, what does this have to do with the process?

A lot, actually.

What's your daily schedule, activities, hobbies?

These questions are more intense

than my gynecologist's office.

Uh, I'm an editor at the Boston Chronicle.

I write all the local wedding announcements.

I also make anniversary videos for couples.

As far as hobbies go,

I like anything outdoors with my feet in the grass.

And you think you're ready to start a family?

Well, my ex had a really large family.

He had brothers and sisters and dogs, cats, a parakeet.

It was really beautiful, I miss that.

So you wanna come sit on the sofa?

Hm?

Come on!

Okay, I will come to you.

That's cool.

Okay, alone time it is.

He didn't even like dogs,

not even my sweet Georgie.

That's not true.

I've always loved dogs.

You have not.

You just wanted to take me out for a milkshake.

Well, that may be true.

I did want to take her out for a milkshake.

She's gorgeous.

You trying to butter me up?

The most beautiful girl in the world.

You're laying it all pretty thick, Mister.

Is it working?

Maybe.

Hi, Tara, if I can just have you sign here.

Oh, ooh.

- Sorry. - Signature?

Uh, here you go.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Um, I also wanted to ask, um,

my roommate got a dog recently and needs a vet.

Oh, yeah, she should definitely come in

for an initial intake checkup.

Uh, are you the point of contact or should I get her number?

Yeah, you can put me down as the point of contact, yeah.

Um, yeah, I'm a lot more obsessive about my calendar.

She's a lot more go with the flow.

I am the same way with plans.

I love a good down-to-the minute plan.

A double confirmed plan, the best.

Same.

This, all-flower wall.

It is going to be so posh.

500 meters of pink peonies.

This, this whole wall is gonna be flowers?

It sounds like it's gonna cost an arm and a-

No one likes a buzz kill, Jack.

Right.

You guys are the experts.

I'm sure it's gonna be-

So posh.

Now tell me, are we still locked on in no bridesmaids,

no groomsmen thingy?

Locked, I do not need

a Pippa Middleton show stealer moment.

Oui, oui, oui.

What about Boner?

Uh, honey, I, I think it's enough

that Bonner's invited, don't you?

No, Stacy, he's been my best friend for over 20 years.

I know, but we can't ask the calligraphy artist

to write Boner in the program.

Boner's just not posh.

Okay, well, his actual name is Travis Bernard.

Can we put Travis on there?

Whatever you wanna do, babe.

Now, let us talk about the table settings.

The waterfall napkins will be,

So posh.

Does it seem like he likes me?

I mean, I don't think he really knows what he likes.

He's really only been out of the shelter

for like four hours.

At least you got some sort of response from him.

He barked when you got home.

All dogs bark at me.

I'm a delivery driver.

It's basically in their DNA.

Okay, listen to this.

Walks, tennis balls, and chicken.

Like, is he even a real dog?

These things take time.

Like think about how long it took you to open up to me.

That's true.

I mean, you say that I communicate too much,

but my family group chat is always blowing up.

Definitely not my family.

I'm lucky if my sister remembers my birthday.

Well, you always got me.

You're stuck with me.

But I do think that maybe you should get back

into the dating world a little bit.

Maybe Tucker could use a dad.

Oh, a dad?

Tucker would like a dad.

Okay, can we just, you know, take it one day at a time,

like, bring it down?

Fine.

Hey, Stace, I'm sort of,

I'm sort of, uh, bummed out about the wedding.

I know, it royally sucks throughout of lemon curd.

No, no, no, it's not, it's not that.

It's actually, um, the, the whole wedding

because it's just,

it's just becoming so big, you know?

And so excessive.

What's your idea of a dream wedding, babe?

Roll around in the hay with your dog

and spit seeds into a barrel?

Come on.

No.
