Uh...

Okay, let me check.

Oh, no! No, don't touch that!

A, B, C, D, E, F, G

H, I, J, K...

This happened once

before. It's fine.

Q, R, S, T...

Ooh, well, now I know my ABC's.

Hey, good news is we got

a great parking spot.

Right under the light.

Safest place.

Oh, yeah. I read that blog.

You know what, ladies?

Tonight is our night

and we look good.

Mmm-hmm.

- Let's do it.

- Let's do it.

Hello, welcome to Chez Magique.

Your journey awaits you.

Ooh. Field, party of three.

Okay, uh, what is your name?

- Field.

- Hmm.

I cannot seem to find your

reservation on my scroll.

Sorry.

But I...

I...

It's only a two-and-a-half-hour

wait. Totally worth it.

And during that time,

you're more than welcome

to observe the art in the gallery.

I don't want to observe art.

I know. It's really

exhausting, right?

Look, I scouted, I planned, I got

the Groupon, I made a reservation.

I did everything required of me,

so there must be some mistake.

How about this?

Why don't I go back

and talk to my visionary for you?

Your what?

My manager.

Oh, yeah.

Just wait here, 'Kay?

Is everything okay?

No, they lost our reservation.

The wait is two and a half hours.

This is going to completely

ruin our night.

No, no. You know what?

Everything is gonna be okay.

There is a man-child playing

death video games at home

with my son. I'm just...

You know what...

Ally, Ally. Relax.

I'm sure Sean has

everything under control.

Relax.

I've played it all out.

Right now, I bet he's playing

some game with the kids,

like cops and robbers,

and it's gotten

totally out of control.

- This is out of control, Sean!

- It's not out of control!

This is totally out of control.

It's out of control.

No, it's not.

- I can't see the kids.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

And the house is a

wreck and Brandon is

playing death video games.

I know you can do it!

You may not have any sense of

what you're doing. None of us do!

I didn't sign up for this.

I did not sign up for this.

And I bet Marco is all

freaked out and overwhelmed,

and Sean is giving him

the Braveheart speech.

This is your moment!

Let me tell you something, okay?

Fatherhood's about manning up!

And one of the twins is

in a video game coma,

which will make him have nightmares

and will make Izzy

mad at me on Monday.

I've played it all out.

- Joey?

- Hey.

- Hi, Allyson.

- Hi.

I didn't recognize you

without your kids.

What are you doing here?

- Just meeting somebody.

- Oh.

We're just having dinner.

Little girls' night.

Yeah, yeah.

Bridget told me.

No, Zoe. I told you, you cannot

take your father's car.

And if you know where you're going,

why don't you just

tell me where it is?

Yeah, it is so simple.

Have a nice night.

'Kay.

Hey, if you talk to Bridget,

don't tell her you

ran into me, okay?

What? Wait, why not?

So, after a very helpful

consultation with my superior,

there is a very special

table that awaits you

next Saturday, because that's

when you made your reservation.

No, no, no, I didn't.

I, um, called on Monday...

You did. You called

and you spoke with Brie.

- Yes! Brie, yes, yes.

- Remember her?

Yeah, she's really pretty.

And you said next Saturday.

Yes. Next Saturday, as in the

next available Saturday.

The next one that exists.

The next one to be.

No. Next Saturday would be

the Saturday immediately following

the current week you are in.

No, it's the one immediately

following whatever day it is.

That's what next means.

Mmm, mmm-mmm.

No. That would be "this" Saturday.

As in, like, this pen here.

As in, like, this little mousey

thing. As in this phone.

Like, "Oh, hello, I'd like to make

a reservation for this Saturday."

"Oh, you mean today? Yes,

you may." See, like that.

But, you didn't say "this,"

you said "next."

I don't care what I said!

Just give me a table!

Okay, Ally, I think

she gets the idea.

Yeah. You're getting a little angry

and it's doing something

ugly to your face.

You don't look good.

I'm sorry, I just...

Can you help a girl out?

- This is my first night out in forever!

- Aw.

And I'm wearing heels,

I'm carrying a small purse.

I just wanna sit down with

my friends and enjoy a meal

without three little people

clawing all over me!

So, let us know when

a table's available.

Okay, I'll do that.

I just... I need a break

because my job never ends.

So can you please

just check your scroll

and maybe just change your scroll?

Oh, um...

Visionary has decided that

you've disrupted the aura

and you need to leave.

What?

What? The...

This is a restaurant!

This used to be Mike's Barbeque!

- How dare you talk.

- Okay, we gotta go.

The aura? Really, aura?

These are so good.

Goodbye.

I made a reservation.

This is unbelievable.

I didn't wanna eat there anyway.

I just need to eat somewhere.

Not a big deal, Ally, we

can do this another night.

No! We're not doing

this another night.

Because tonight is our night

and tonight is not a failure!

Just one second.

Marco is so clueless sometimes!

- Zoe.

- Are you really gonna just...

I told you not to go anywhere

until your father got...

No, Zoe. You listen to me.

Don't go anywhere until...

Marco forgot the wipes.

I mean, seriously?

What are you doing?

- I'm saving your life.

- I'm sorry,

- I may have to go.

- No, you're not gonna do that either.

- This is my life.

- I need my phone!

I need my phone! Ally,

Ally, I need my phone!

Honey, let's just talk about this!

Don't do anything crazy!

I was in the middle of a text!

Marco can find the

rash cream on his own.

I have full confidence

he can do it.

Except he can't.

Sean told me to unplug!

This is me unplugging, okay?

I'm listening to my husband,

Sondra. It's biblical, right?

It is biblical.

Okay.

No phones! No phones!

So, this is what we're gonna do.

We're gonna, we're gonna...

We're gonna, um...

We're gonna go bowling!

Who wants to go bowling?

I know I do. Sondra?

- Fine. Absolutely.

- Yes!

Bowling it is. Let's go.

I'm letting my hair down, ladies.

I am not wearing

vending machine socks.

Whoa.

You all right?

Yes, yes, I'm, I'm fine.

I'm under control.

Would you help me get my kids out?

Whoa, whoa.

- What was that?

- It's a bird.

- A bird?

- Yes, it's a bird, okay?

My kids, they wanted

to bring the pet bird.

And you let them?

I didn't know it was gonna be

flying all over the place!

Why didn't you put it in the cage?

You don't think I thought of that?

Look, it was in the cage,

and the locking mechanism

isn't exactly very intuitive.

Stay, Mama.

Its name is Mama?

Yes, its name is Mama.

Izzy was the one that let

the twins name her, okay?

- You got a bird flying around, Marco!

- Shh.

I don't think he's scared.

I think he doesn't wanna hurt...

Okay, so here's the plan.

We take them inside, get their hand

stamped and they can't get out.

Like Shawshank Redemption.

I love it.

Hey!

- Oh, hi.

- Good for you.

Good job.

Why don't you go ahead and just...
