Karen
- Karen: That is a crazy story!
- Joel: Told ya! It's like a corny romantic comedy.
- Kyle: It is. It was such a great beginning, why did you guys decide to get a divorce?
- Joel: Well, things got pretty rough after that.
- Molly: Roland's promise to keep my store flourishing forever, well, it turned out to be a little bit more complicated than we thought. Long story short, the store is gone.
- Joel: And Cup of Joel basically crashed and burned after a week. I mean, it really wasn't anything. And as much as little Tucker loved havin' a new dad around, he was pretty traumatized seein' his real dad get shot in the face by the police.
- Molly: The debts started to pile up and I started taking pills to numb the pain.
- Joel: And then...
- Molly: I started sleeping with Frank again. But enough of our sob stories. The bottom line is, we mutually decided that we were better off as friends than spouses.
- Joel: Yeah.
- Bubby: Are you okay, bubela?
- Joel: Hmm... Oh, yeah. I'm good. I'm just thinking about some stuff.
- Bubby: Let me tell you a little story.
- Kyle: [cut to restaurant scene] Wait! Who is this person?
- Joel: My bubby. The lady I was talking about that likes fiction books?
- Karen: Oh, your grandmother.
- Joel: Yeah.
- Bubby: [cut to Bubby's apartment] Let me tell you a little story. It's about bagels.
- Joel: Wait, say no more. I've got it. You were gonna say the bagels are a metaphor for the circle of life.
- Bubby: No, I wasn't gonna say that.
- Joel: Oh, my God, of course! How could I have not seen it? I let my desire to land the Dickricker account cloud my judgment! I know exactly what to do!
- [Joel stands]
- Joel: Thank you, Bubby!
- Bubby: [Bubby stands and hugs Joel] Oh, Joel, I'm so proud of you!
- Joel: [embrace lingers] What are we doin'?
- Bubby: I don't know, but it feels so right.
- Joel: Oh, God, Bubby, I wanna f*** you so bad.
- Bubby: Do it. Do it, Joel. Don't overthink this.
- Joel: Oh, no.
- [Joel lifts Bubby's skirt revealing youthful legs and breaks the embrace]
- Joel: I... I should go.
- Bubby: Yeah, I get it.
- Joel: Hey, Bubby.
- Bubby: Yes, bubela?
- Joel: Thanks.
