Reba's house-living room-afternoon:
(Van and Cheyenne had come over for dinner.)
Reba (playing with Elizabeth): Peek-a-boo! I see you!
(Elizabeth laughs and puts her hands over her eyes and then uncovers them.)
Cheyenne: Mom, will you come pick out baby clothes with me?
Reba: I don't remember making a baby.
Cheyenne: Well, I can't take my husband, and I don't want to go by myself. Please, Mom.
Van: Please, Ms. H...so I don't have to go.
Reba: What about Barbra Jean?
(Cheyenne stares at her mother and raises an eyebrow.)
Reba: Oh, all right, but you owe me.
Theme Song
Reba's house-kitchen-before dinner:
(Kyra comes in from her gig. Van and Cheyenne are sitting at the table ready for dinner. Jake is playing a video game and Reba is behind the counter tossing salad.)
Reba: Hey, Kyra. How'd it go?
Kyra: It went great. I can't think of a reason we won't get a record deal.
Reba: Well, I'm still saving your college money just in case.
Kyra: Save it for Jake. I won't need it.
Reba: Oh, aren't we a little cocky?
Kyra: Not cocky. Confident.
Reba (smiles): Go wash up for dinner.
(Kyra exits the kitchen.)
Baby store-morning:
(Cheyenne is looking through the racks of clothes.)
Cheyenne: So what do you think I should name the baby?
Reba: That's between you and Van.
Cheyenne: Mom, you must have some thought on the name.
Reba: My lips are sealed.
Cheyenne: Mom...
Reba's house-Jake's room-afternoon:
(Jake is in his room on the computer. Kyra walks in and Jake closes the window on his computer. Kyra had seen what he was doing.)
Kyra: Didn't Mom tell you not to see that movie?
Jake: Yes, but I still want to see it. (pauses) Are you going to rat me out?
Kyra: No. Here's what you do, pipsqueak.
Reba's house-living room-evening:
(Reba, Cheyenne, and Van are going through the clothes Reba and Cheyenne had bought. Van holds up a blue outfit with a football on it.)
Van: Good call, Ms. H.
Reba: Thank you, Van.
(Brock and Barbra Jean come in.
Reba: I really should start locking that door.
(Barbra Jean's eyes are immediately drawn to the baby clothes.)
Barbra Jean: Oh, they're so cute!
Brock: The last thing we need is a baby.
Reba: For once, Brock is right.
Movie theater-evening:
(Jake is standing outside waiting for his friends. His friend, Brett, walks up.)
Brett: Hey, Jake. I didn't expect to see you here. I thought your mom didn't want you to see this.
Jake: She doesn't, but what she doesn't know won't hut her.
(The rest of his friends show up and they got to see the movie. Some time passes and Jake is curling up in his seat obviously terrified.)
Brock and Barbra Jean's house-living room-night:
(Brock, Barbra Jean and Henry are sitting on the couch together. Barbra Jean is waiting for a commercial.)
Barbra Jean: Henry, how would you feel if you had a little brother or sister?
Henry: Baby brother.
(Barbra Jean looks at Brock.)
Brock: Barbra Jean, no.
Barbra Jean: But he's going to grow up alone.
Reba's house-kitchen-morning:
(Jake is eating alone. Kyra walks in and sneaks up behind him.)
Kyra: Boo!
Jake: Kyra! Don't do that!
Kyra: You're going to have to pull yourself together or Mom is going to know something is up.
(Reba comes down. The phone rings and Reba goes to answer it.)
Reba: Hello?
Jack: Hey, Reba.
Reba: Jack? Why are you calling me?
Jack: Cheryl and I tried everything, Reba. It's over.
Reba: Why do you feel the need to call me?
Jack: You told me to call you when I was single. I'm single.
April 16
Reba's house-living room-morning:
(Reba walks downstairs from bed and see a bouquet of flowers on the living room table. She smells the, then checks the card.
Reba-
I can't stop thinking about you. What do you say to dinner and a movie? -Jack)
Reba (to herself): I'd love to, Jack, but no.
Reba's office-midday:
(Jack shows up in Reba's doorway.)
Jack: Hey, Reba.
Reba: Hey, Jack.
Jack: What do you say to dinner and a movie? Let's say, Friday.
Reba: I'd love to, but I'm watching Elizabeth Friday.
Jack: How about I buy you lunch?
Reba (lying): I have plans.
Jack: I get it, Reba. You think I'm still married and Cheryl will come after you.
Reba: Can you blame me?
Jack: One date, Reba.
(Reba shakes her head.)
Brock and Barbra Jean's house-living room-before dinner:
(Brock walks in from work. Henry is upstairs watching tv.)
Barbra Jean: Brock, why can't we have another baby?
Brock: Come on, Barbra Jean, do we really need another baby?
Barbra Jean :Yes, poor little Henry is going to grow up alone.
Brock: He might like being an only child.
Barbra Jean(as if it's obvious): No one likes being an only child, Brock.
Brock (sarcastic): Well, no one likes having siblings either.
Reba's house-kitchen-midnight:
(Jake had woken Reba up with his screaming because he was having nightmares. Reba comes in and sits on his bed. He was lying on his stomach and Reba starts rubbing his back.)
Reba: It's okay, Jake.
Jake: Oh, thank God it's you, Mom.
Reba: Jake, what's up with you?
(Jake doesn't answer and looks down.)
Reba: Did you go see that movie?
Jake: Yes, Mom. I'm so sorry. It was the wrong thing to do.
Reba: Well, I'm disappointed, but I'll deal with it in the morning.
Reba's house-kitchen-next day-mid-day:
(Kyra walks in with her band and sees Reba.)
Kyra(timidly): Mom, the band and I have some news.
Reba: Oh, Lord, do I need to sit down?
Kyra: No.
Reba: What is it?
Kyra: We want to try to get a record deal.
Reba: Oh, honey, are you sure?
Kyra: I've never been so sure of anything.
Reba: What if you don't make it?
Kyra: Mom! You're supposed to encourage us!
Reba: I just don't want you to be disappointed if you don't get it. You might not get it.
Kyra: I understand that, but we want to try anyway. You never know unless you try.
Reba(smiling): Go live your dream, Kyra. I hope you make it.
Kyra: Really?
Reba: Really.
Van and Cheyenne's house-kitchen-mid-day:
(Cheyenne is cooking. She's trying to make grilled cheese but it's not working out well. Van and Elizabeth are sitting at the table)
Van(whiny): Come on, Cheyenne! I'm hungry!
Cheyenne: In a minute! I don't want to mess up!
Van(mumbling): Too late.
Cheyenne: Shut-up, Van.
(Cheyenne flips the grilled cheese and it's black on the side the audience can see. Van gets up and goes in the living room. Cheyenne flips the grilled cheese and it's black on that side too. Cheyenne puts it on a plate, licks it and cuts it from corner to corner.)
Cheyenne: Van, honey, yours is ready.
(Van comes in the kitchen and Cheyenne hands him the plate.)
Van: It looks a little wet.
(Van shrugs and takes a bite.)
Reba's house-living room-late:
(Kyra walks in with a mad look on her face)
Reba: Hey, Kyra.
Kyra: Hey, Mom.
Reba: How'd it go?
Kyra: We didn't get it. They said we were too young and if we got a record deal, whoever gave it to us had to be on drugs.
Reba: Oh, I'm so sorry, Kyra.
Kyra: I'm not afraid of failure. It's better that we tried and failed than if we never tried.
Reba(smiling): Yeah, it is.
Reba's office-next day-early:
(Jack walks in.)
Jack: You called.
(Reba looks up.)
Reba: Yes, I did. I realized that if I don't try, I'm never going to get anywhere. It's better that I try and fail than if I never try.
Jack: Really?
Reba: Really.
