Moms' Night Out Page #8

---

I'm sorry.

Come on!

Hey, I think you could

probably just leave.

- Oh, no, darlin'.

- No?

No, no. I'm totally

committed to this thing.

I wanna see how it ends.

Yeah.

Are you taking my children?

Do you have my daughter?

I need to file a missing

person's report.

Did you have my van come in here?

I will find whatever foster

care you take my children to.

She's just going through a phase.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hold on a second!

Ma'am, just wait a second. Hold

on, and just one at a time...

Do not tell me to hold on.

I have a missing child.

No. What she's

trying to say is that...

Ally, stop, okay?

Nothing you've done tonight

has helped in any way.

So just stop trying

to fix things, okay?

This is what happens when you

take away people's cell phones!

Do you have my daughter?

Ma'am, what is

your daughter's name?

Oh! I knew it. I knew

this was gonna happen.

This is God punishing me for

the Woodstock Reunion.

Woodstock Reunion!

You were in the caravan.

I never forget a face.

Sarah? Sandy?

- Sondra?

- Sondra!

I love your tattoo.

Come on, ladies.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

You cannot go...

Think they gonna try to go in.

I don't think they want me

in there right now.

All I really want to do right

now is call Sean and the kids.

There's a phone over there

by the metal detector.

Did anyone come in here tonight

that wasn't supposed to be in here?

No. Man, I don't know.

I don't think of asking them

those kind of questions,

but I think you're on to something

'cause I should inquire

more of our patrons.

What about this? What about, um...

Does the word "Bones"

mean anything to you?

- It does.

- Okay. What does it mean?

- A person.

- Is it a person? Is it a person?

- It is.

- It's a person.

- Could it be the manager?

- Is Bones a manager here?

You are correct. You're good

at this one, bro. Keep him.

Do you know where they went?

Which direction they went?

No, but I did see them leave.

Where did they go?

To the right.

Out, and to the right.

No destination? They didn't

say where they were going?

Well, I think the right is east.

- Ask him...

- Okay, okay, okay.

- Sean?

- Oh.

Hon?

Where are you?

We're fine. We're fine. We're

at the, um, tattoo parlor.

- What?

- Yeah, the tattoo...

It's a maze back there!

Officer, do you know how an experience

like this can scar a teenager?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Calm down for a second.

- Back up! Just hold on a second.

- She's not a hardened criminal.

You're in my space... Hey! Whoa!

Quiet, quiet!

Shut up! It's Caprice!

- Hello.

- Sir, we got a situation up here.

Oh, Sean, this has been

the worst night ever.

I honestly don't know

how it could get any worse.

All right. Yeah, all right.

Don't move.

Where are you?

Don't freak out. Some

police station...

With the police?

Okay, okay.

We're coming. We got them.

- We gotta go. Yeah.

- You found them? Okay, let's do this.

Hey, big guy.

Thanks very much. Okay.

Wait, so are the

police coming or not?

- Phoenix is where? I can't...

- Sir, we got some unstable women up here.

No, no, no, no, no, no, I hate

you so much, I can't...

I'm just gonna kill somebody!

This is not... Is that a Taser?

I will tase you.

You cannot do this.

Stand down! I will tase you, woman!

How dare you? My husband

is the pastor at First...

Sir, they just came in

here and started to...

That was an accident.

I can't feel my face.

Is this a nightmare?

My face has no feeling.

Oh.

Bridget. We are gonna find

your baby. He is safe.

He is in the palm of God's hand.

And you know what?

I don't judge you. I don't.

I love you, and you know

what? God loves you.

Sondra, maybe you should just rest.

Ma'am, the kids are all fine.

Just wait.

I had tonight playing out

differently in my mind.

Have a donut, Kevin.

I want my lawyer.

All I heard Caprice say was

that Phoenix was fine.

But she didn't say where

and then my phone died.

You, ladies. Front and center.

Hello, ladies, I'm Sergeant Murphy.

We've been filling out an awful lot

of paperwork trying

to unravel this mess.

But for now, I would like

for us to do one thing.

Stay calm.

Can you do that for me?

I'm calm. I feel very calm.

Can you do that? Can you be calm?

I'm so happy.

Well, you have a visitor.

Mom!

Zoe!

Why are you in jail?

I'm not! You are.

I've been in the back filling out

this missing person's report.

You're alive!

I am so glad that you're alive!

I called the restaurant and they

said that your car had been stolen.

And so, I called Dad,

and he's with Sean

and he told me that

you guys were in trouble.

So I got so freaked out that

I drove over here in his car,

which was awesome!

But I'm so sorry.

So you didn't go out with Steve.

What? No! Ew. He's a total

player, you were right.

Facebook, I'm his number three.

Oh, Zoe.

Go ahead and say it.

You were right. I'm a pastor's

daughter, I should be perfect!

No! Honey, that is

not it at all! Oh.

I love you, and I'm

so proud of you.

I just don't want you to go through

the pain of making

the same mistakes

that I did.

I was wild, Zoe.

I was a wild child, and there is

something you should know about me.

I have a tattoo.

Is that a face?

It's Donny Osmond.

It was a mad crush and...

Well, I was gonna get it removed,

but it kinda started

looking like your dad, so...

I'm never... I'm never

getting a tattoo.

Oh, thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Donny.

All my friends are in jail, Bones.

Well, I know how that feels.

I'm a failure.

I have failed again.

That's all I do.

I had a plan.

I was gonna help myself and help

my friends unplug and have fun,

and then Bridget happened, so then

I thought I could fix that,

too, and instead...

I can't.

I can't get in front of it.

No matter how hard I try, no matter

how much I give, I'm just...

I'm not enough.

For who?

What?

Not enough for who?

I mean, Sean, the kids, for my mother,

God, everybody. I don't know.

You?

Not enough for you?

I was raised in church.

This might surprise you,

but I have since

drifted from the faith.

Shocker.

My mama worked three jobs.

I never met my daddy.

I had to get up early

and walk to school,

but I'd wait up for her

coming home from the diner.

I'd wait up every night.

'Cause she'd come home

and she'd put me to bed

and she'd tell me something.

She'd tell me the same

thing every night.

"He loves you, Charles.

"No matter who you are, no matter

what you do, or how far you run,

"Jesus will always be loving

you with his arms open wide,

"just for being you."

And I'd smile and go off to sleep.

You know, I saw something

on Pinterest the other day.

It was an eagle.

Just caring for its young.

It's a beautiful thing to watch

one of God's creations just

doing what He made it to do.

Just being an eagle.

And that's enough.

You all spend so much time

beating yourselves up.

Must be exhausting.

Let me tell you something, girl.

I doubt the Good Lord

made a mistake
