Mia was cleaning tables as Tucker was telling a story about his new job to Ben and Riley was with her boyfriend Fitch who was playing peek-a-boo with Emma.
"When I got the job, I was like, "finally!" Right? The whole goal was to work in Television. But now, all I'm doing is getting coffee for people who work in Television." Tucker said
He noticed that Ben wasn't even listening
"Are you even listening?"
"Totally." Ben answer as he pour beer in a cup that was filled with water
"Dude, if I could just figure out a way to get that promotion--."
"Look at him. It's like he invented peek-a-boo."
"So much for bartenders being good listeners."
"I just don't want to see Riley get hurt by some rugged, stubbly-faced, peek-a-boo-playing liar. I'm telling you-- I don't trust that guy." Ben explains
"I actually like him." Mia said as she walks behind the bar
"I don't even think he's a real doctor. He has a Ph.D. in Social Work from Harvard. Yeah, good luck with that next time you come down with the flu. Am I really the only one who sees through this guy's act?Runs an orphanage in Zimbabwe? Worked for the Peace Corps?" Ben scoffs
"Who hasn't used that line?"
"What line?" Tucker asked
"Hey, CeeCee, have you met Tucker? He just got back from the Peace Corps." Ben grabs the attention of their coworker
"Hmmm. Maybe we can have a drink sometime." She said as She Then walks away
"Am I the only one who didn't know about this?" Tucker ask as he smiles
"I know him because I am him. And here I come."
Mia rolls her eyes
"Hey, Fitch!"
"Hey, guys. Thanks for letting me spend the day with your little lady. You, my friend, are a role model. Single dad? Nothing but respect. Catch you later."
Bonnie opens the door to see Danny and his girlfriend Milena making out on the couch
"Hello! Whoa whoa! Guess I don't need cable anymore." Bonnie said
"Hey, Ma. You remember Milena-- and that you don't live here." Danny remind her
"Hello Milena! How are you?" Bonnie enunciated
"Mom, she speaks English."
"So a supermodel, huh? I was going to be a model when I was your age. Could barely walk down the street-- "Oh, Bonnie, you should be a model!"" Bonnie explains
"So why didn't you?" Milena ask her
"Well, one drunken prom night and a giant baby later, and I realized I wanted more out of life."
