Season 2, Episode 2 -  Aired January 12, 2016

Moira and David attempt to cook dinner for the family. Meanwhile, Johnny looks for a place to work, and Alexis tries to clear things up with Ted.

Quote from Alexis

Alexis: There is no food. Nobody can cook, this is basically child abuse.
Johnny: David can cook.
David: I can't cook.
Johnny: You got that Teppanyaki table for your bar mitzvah.
David: That was thrown out after Alexis left her extensions on it, and everything smelled like burnt hair.
Alexis: I thought it was an actual table, David.
David: There was a plug coming out of the side of it!

Quote from Jocelyn

Jocelyn: Oh, Moira, normally I'd be happy to, it's just we have a really hectic afternoon, so...
Moira: David and I are going to resurrect an old family recipe.
Jocelyn: Mmm. Of course I'd say yes, it's just that that darn stove is on the fritz.
Roland: Oh really, honey? Because this pie is scorching.
Jocelyn: It comes and goes, Roland.

Quote from Jocelyn

Moira: Oh, I'm sure it's far superior to what we have at the motel. David and I will manage.
Jocelyn: Oh, I know, it's- It's just that I called the repairman, and so he's coming this afternoon.
Roland: Who'd you call, honey? Bill?
Jocelyn: Yeah Bill.
Roland: Bill doesn't do stoves.
Jocelyn: Then, Gary.
Roland: Gary? Our dentist?
Jocelyn: I don't remember who I called but, they're coming, this afternoon.

Quote from Jocelyn

Moira: Oh. It's as if you don't trust David and me to fend for ourselves in your kitchen.
Roland: Oh no, we don't mind you using our kitchen, as long as you make extra for us, and leave a ten spot over there for the hydro.
Moira: That I can do! I'll be back in ten, to a clean kitchen!
Roland: A clean kitchen.
Jocelyn: I just cleaned the kitchen.

Quote from Twyla

Twyla: How's the brisket, Mr. Rose?
Johnny: Well, it's tasting more like meat.
Twyla: Oh, well that's good.
Johnny: You know Twyla, I've been noticing how quiet it is in here during the day.
Twyla: Oh, yeah. It's always quiet before the lunch rush. Which isn't so much a rush as much as it is just a handful of people showing up at a leisurely pace.

Quote from Twyla

Johnny: Well, the reason I point it out is that, um, you know, I've been looking for a place to work. Like a-an office space.
Twyla: Uh-huh. [balancing dirty dishes in her hands and on her arm]
Johnny: You see, I get a lot of ideas back at the motel that need serious contemplation, but with the family there, I just can't seem to get any work done.
Twyla: I hear that.
Johnny: So, I was wondering... And I thought about bringing this up the other day, but decided against it, for some reason. But here we are talking, so, what the hell. What are the chances of me operating out of one of these booths every day?
Twyla: I am just gonna put these plates down. I just think I'll think better, once the blood rushes from my arms, back to my head.
Johnny: Oh, oh. Yes, yes, yes. Uh, absolutely! Yeah, you can put them down, I didn't mean to keep you, there. I know you've got a lot of work to do. Totally.
Twyla: They're just heavy plates!

Quote from Bob

Bob: I hope you don't mind me uh, eavesdropping on your conversation, but uh, I think maybe I could help you.
Johnny: Really?
Bob: I heard you're looking for office space?
Johnny: Yes!
Bob: Well, I have a sweet little spot you might be interested in, if uh, if you wanna take a look.
Johnny: Yes, I would! Thank you.
Bob: Happy to help, I'm sure you'd do the same for me. If you had anything to offer.

Quote from Johnny

Bob: So, uh, what do you think, Johnny?
Johnny: What do I think? I think it's a nice garage. Where's the office?
Bob: You're looking at it.
Johnny: Bob, you told me you had a sweet little office space, okay, and frankly, working out of a garage is not what I had in mind.
Bob: Well uh, out of curiosity, what did you have in mind?
Johnny: An office! You know, a chair, for starters!

Quote from Alexis

Mutt: You didn't break up with Ted, did you?
Alexis: Um, well, like I said, I started to, and then, I don't know if it was the timbre of his voice, or the fact that he smelled like baby powder, but I just, I physically couldn't do it.

Quote from Stevie

David: It's just a really fast turnaround. You know, usually it doesn't happen that quickly.
Stevie: What if it does?
David: Well, it's just when someone keeps telling you that they're over it, sometimes it means that they're not actually over it, which is fine!
Stevie: But it's fine too if they are over it.
David: Yeah, I just wanna make sure that you're taking the time to actually get over it, you know, because if you don't, I think it could lead to just...
Stevie: You know, it's interesting, the longer we have this conversation, the more over it I get.
David: Oh!
Stevie: In fact, I'm having a hard time remembering when I wasn't over it.
David: Wow, well aren't you just a- a pillar of strength, and self-healing.
Stevie: Yeah, I'm pretty amazing.
