[ENGINE SPUTTERING]

BETH:

What's he doing?

Can you believe that he got

that old thing going?

Oh, good Lord.

You know, I'm substituting

for Julie next week.

It's only a couple days, but...

Why don't you go back full-time?

It's been almost a year.

I know how long it's been.

[DOGS BARKING]

Do you think that he has an off switch?

I hope not. Ha-ha-ha.

[DOGS BARKING]

[CAR APPROACHING]

Can I help you?

The hell you doing around here?

Is there a problem, officer?

There will be, you don't answer

my questions when I ask them.

I work here.

[SCOFFS]

Put your hands on that bench. Ahem.

Why?

Boy, you wanna do this at the station?

A soldier boy?

"Sergeant Logan Thigh-bolt."

It's Thibault.

- And I'm a Marine.

- Mm-hm.

Well, where's everyone at, Thigh-bolt?

They're all out. Do you want me

to give Beth a message?

Oh-ho.

So it's Beth, is it?

You just tell Beth I'll see her at 4.

[KEITH WHISTLING]

[VACUUM WHIRRING]

You should come.

You never know, you might have fun.

You've always loved their house.

- Save your breath. I'm not going.

- Why not?

ELLIE:
You know I can't stand Judge Clayton

and his fundraising extravaganzas.

Mom, check it out.

Hey. Oh, that looks great, sweets.

You look very handsome.

[TRUCK DOOR CLOSES]

- Hey, Dad.

- Ah!

Hey, wait. What in the world

is this mess here, now, huh?

We gotta teach you how to tie

a proper tie, boy.

[KEITH CHUCKLES]

Whoo-wee.

I love you in that dress, huh?

Makes me wish I never would have

signed those papers.

[BETH SQUEALS]

Tell me about your new boyfriend.

BETH:
What?

- Soldier boy, huh?

BETH:
Don't ask me about him.

I didn't hire him.

- He has nothing to do with me.

- Okay. Okay.

[KEITH CHUCKLES]

KEITH:

Hey, Mama.

Place is looking great.

CHARLOTTE:
You look beautiful.

BETH:
Thank you,

Thank you so much for coming.

Really good to see you. Here you go.

We've got the governor in our camp.

I just heard.

Benny. Wait a second,

where's my grandson?

- There he is.

- Come here, Benny.

How you doing, sweetie?

He's fighting the good fight

for Hamden's future.

- Tell your mama how we gonna win.

BEN:
Vote Clayton.

All right, and...?

- The name you trust.

JUDGE:
And you know.

- The name you know.

- Yep.

- The judge you trust, the mayor we need.

- Ha, ha, ha. This kid is sharp as a tack.

He's gonna do great things.

You mark my word.

- Where did you dig up that jacket?

- Oh,

Oh, come on.

It's just a garden party, Daddy.

It's not just a garden party.

MAN:
How you doing, judge?

- How are you?

- Good to see y'all. Thank you so much.

WOMAN:
Nice to see you.

[DOGS BARKING]

BETH:

Come on, Dexter, go get it.

Go. Yeah.

Yes. Whoo! Oh.
