‘Driving Test’

Season 3, Episode 4 -  Aired January 31, 2017

David is worried about taking his driving test again. Meanwhile, Johnny and Moira jump into action when Stevie signals she might sell the motel.

Quote from David

David: Okay, what I find helpful when I get overwhelmed is actually taking a step away for like, 15 minutes to an hour, to um, to maybe two hours, and ah, helping people.
Stevie: I feel like there's a request coming on.
David: Mm, not so much a request, as it is an opportunity. I am looking for a very lucky person to drive me to my driver's test.
Stevie: Oh yeah, that's not gonna happen right now.
David: Um, I guess you're right. I should probably be helping you. I would love to run some errands, or you know, maybe pick something up, I just- I just need a valid driver's license. The test is this afternoon. And I'm very anxious about it. And need a lift. Um... You know what? I don't think this is a good time to ask.
Stevie: Hmm, that's really perceptive.
David: Um, I'm gonna find someone with a little more time on their hands.

Quote from Stevie

Johnny: Oh, Stevie, I don't mean to bother you, but um, there's a leaky faucet in David and Alexis' bathroom.
Stevie: And this is a pressing issue for you?
Johnny: Well, it's just that when you're in our bathroom, you can hear it clear as day, I mean, it's almost like it's happening in our bathroom.
Stevie: But it's not. So I'm just gonna finish this first...

Quote from Moira

Moira: We don't want to intrude, dear, just when you can, plumber, please.
Johnny: Or get someone else to do it, Stevie, because you are the owner now.
Stevie: Yeah, and I don't know what I'm doing!
Moira: Oh! None of us do, dear! We're all just muddling through, aren't we? I mean, look at John.
Johnny: Why look at me?!
Moira: I'm saying, even someone with a history of wild success can experience a downtick now and then.
Johnny: Well, I didn't realize I had a downtick, Moira.

Quote from Moira

Johnny: Yes, and Stevie, if you need any help at all, please, feel free to come by our room.
Moira: Well, I'll be at work. But John will be there, implementing and strategizing.

Quote from David

Alexis: And I'm sorry if that rubs you the wrong way, but maybe if you could just relax for a second, and stop worrying about everything, everything would be easier for you!
David: And what I'm saying is that things haven't been as easy for me as they've been for you!
Alexis: Um, yes, they have!
David: No, they haven't! And now I'm even more stressed out than when I got in the stupid car! Thank you very much for your help, Alexis.

Quote from Johnny

Johnny: Hey, Stevie. Good news, I fixed the drip in David and Alexis' bathroom, so you can check that off your list.
Stevie: Thank you.
Johnny: You know, to be honest it's more a temporary fix, I put a sandwich bag over the faucet, and secured it with an elastic.
Stevie: Oh okay, won't the drips fill up the sandwich bag?
Johnny: Well, like I said, it's temporary, uh, but it might buy you a little time.
Stevie: A little.

Quote from Bob

Bob: Like the library. Gwen does all her internet stuff there. You know, she worries about people tracing her IP address.

Quote from David

David: Um, can I ask you a question?
Gary: Uh yep, failure to signal will be counted.
David: Um, how old are you?
Gary: Twenty-eight.
David: Mhmm, and is this like, what you would like to do for a career?
Gary: Well, I uh, I DJ on the weekends. Why?
David: So you don't really care about this. Like, about me, in the car. I mean, you care in the sense that it's your job, but you don't- You don't care about this, do you?
Gary: I've done like, eight of these today. Is that a problem?
David: No.

Quote from Moira

Moira: Well, it sounds to me like we may not even need those funds from Council.
Johnny: Oh, no, no, we need the funds, that's for sure, but I'm just saying, if she took some of my suggestions-
Moira: Stop! I want to remember this moment.
Johnny: What moment?
Moira: I haven't seen you this excited in a very long time.
Johnny: No, I'm just thinking of Stevie, and listen, how much money do you think we can get from council?
Moira: Well, now I'm wondering if that money might not just complicate things. Look how much you've achieved with your back to the wall. Necessity drives invention, and far be it from me to rob you of your necessity!

Quote from Moira

Johnny: Well, I'm not thinking of getting that involved, Moira, I'm just offering a bit of advice.
Moira: You've been looking for a project, John.
Johnny: Well, not running a motel, Moira. That's a commitment.
Moira: Or not! Go. Go tell Stevie of your decision.
Johnny: What decision?
Moira: And I'll instruct Council to save their largesse for a more worthy charity.
Johnny: You didn't get the money, did you?
Moira: Go, John! Before the passion dies again.
