‘The Dress’

Season 5, Episode 4 -  Aired January 29, 2019

Johnny asks the family to tighten their belts to pay for repair work at the motel, just as Moira receives her red carpet dress for the movie premiere. Meanwhile, Stevie tricks David into a hotel stay in Elmdale so she can see Emir, and Alexis thinks Ted's receptionist is being chilly towards her.

Quote from Ted

Ted: Yeah, it's actually kinda funny, because I was just going through my phone, you know, to make some space, and then I came across this little back and forth from a while ago.
Alexis: I believe you, Ted. You're still Dr. Casanova to me.
Ted: Okay, well, the tone of your voice makes it seem like you don't believe a word you're saying.
Alexis: Okay, Ted! [clears throat] "Dear Melanie." Melanie? Is this the girl from the falafel place?
Ted: Yeah, I don't think that's relevant.
Alexis: Ahem. "I've had a lot of fun hanging out with you, and I really fal-awful saying this over text, but I'm just not feeling strongly enough to take this to the next level. I'm sorry."
Ted: Pretty harsh. But it had to be done.
Alexis: And then, um, she wrote-
Ted: Oh, it doesn't matter what she wrote.
Alexis: "Cool!" Exclamation mark. And it looks like you ended up walking her dog for her?
Ted: [sighs] Well, she seemed really upset.

Quote from Moira

Alexis: Oh, my God.
Johnny: Moira, it's gorgeous.
David: Wasn't it shown with a veil?
Moira: Oh, the veil's on its way.
Johnny: Well, now that I see it on you, I understand! I feel like I'm waiting for the limo to take us to your next red carpet event! Well, sweetheart, if that's if that's the dress you want, then, uh...
Moira: It is. But you're right, John, it's not the time. So before I send her back, take a mental picture. [sighs] And perhaps an actual picture as well? Anyone have a camera?

Quote from Alexis

Alexis: You know who's not sweet? Old Shan out there.
Ted: Okay, first of all Alexis, she's not old, we went to vet school together. And she's actually been really helpful this week.
Alexis: To you. I'm just gonna say it, Ted. Most people are a fan. So when someone's not, it's usually on them.

Quote from David

Stevie: I am a single woman driving way out of town to meet a guy I don't know very well!
David: Well...
Stevie: Once he shows up I'm sure you can still go to the botanical gardens.
David: I'm not going to the botanical gardens by myself. What, am I gonna walk around, and admire the cherry blossoms alone, like some pervert? So if you're gonna meet this guy there, then where am I staying? I don't do couches!
Stevie: I got you a separate room.
David: A separate room, okay. So this has all been premeditated, then. You know what, I hope, for your sake, that they have cherry blossoms in prison.

Quote from Johnny

Moira: Perfect, a spot of tea for the unveiling.
Johnny: I was actually just boiling water for my bath.

Quote from Moira

Alexis: Does this mean I should start thinking about my look for the premiere?
Moira: TBD on the guest list, Alexis, but I love your enthusiasm.

Quote from David

David: Why else would we be driving to Elm Valley, Stevie?
Stevie: The only other reason I can think of is that Emir might be there.
David: The hotel reviewer that you had the dirty motel sex with?
Stevie: Well, when you put it that way it sorta cheapens it, but yes, he might also be there, reviewing a hotel.
David: But not the hotel that we're going to, because that would be a crazy coincidence.
Stevie: Sorry, I knew you wouldn't come if you thought you were gonna be a third wheel.
David: Okay well, sucks for him, because I only booked the private garden tour for two people.
Stevie: Okay, I'm just gonna say it.
David: Please don't.
Stevie: I don't think we're gonna go to the botanical gardens.
David: No! Wow! So this is an abduction, then.

Quote from Alexis

Alexis: Hey, I know you're really swamped today, so I brought you this. You can thank me later.
Ted: Oh! That's decaf, right?
Alexis: No, that detail actually slipped my mind, so maybe I'll just take it.
Ted: Oh, almost a sweet gesture, Alexis, thank you.

Quote from Alexis

Ted: All right, fine, I, I didn't wanna bring this up, because it is so not a thing. But well, when you and I were broken up, there was one night where Shannon and I...
Alexis: [gasps] Oh, my God! Ted!
Ted: [sighs] We hooked up.
Alexis: Yes you did, you little smooch monster!
Ted: Well, we did a lot more than that.

Quote from Johnny

Roland: Hey, Johnny! Johnny! I got some good news for you, my friend.
Johnny: Well, I could use some good news, I might have to take out a mortgage on the dress my wife just bought.
