This is just like my dream. ‐ I know.

I can't believe we're performing with Gwen Taylor tomorrow!

‐ Uh...

No, I meant my actual dream.

Except for I was in a princess dress,

and there was a snake and you were‐‐

‐ Surprised to be in a Taylor Swift video?

OK, now I really want to know.

‐ You were, um...

closer. ‐ Closer?

Like this?

So, more like this?

‐ Uh... hey.

‐ Hi. (woman clearing her throat)

‐ (Grandma Hobbie): You have a guest.

‐ Um, hey, Tyler. ‐ My mom just wanted me

to drop this off to you. ‐ Oh!

This is Oscar, my musical partner.

We were just practicing.

‐ I think our timing was off.

‐ So I know you're busy, but can we have a moment to talk?

(cell phone buzzing)

‐ Oh, shoot! Um, I'm late

to meet up with Amy and Piper to pick an outfit

for the show. ‐ OK, no worries.

‐ I'll pack up our stuff. ‐ OK, uh, talk later?

‐ You bet. ‐ Sounds good.

‐ OK, um...

I'm gonna go.

‐ woman: [The board rejected our first application, so]

[we have to pull an all‐nighter to meet the deadlines.]

‐ What about Holly's concert? ‐ [I'll do my best. I love you.]

‐ I love you too. ‐ Is everything OK?

‐ Uh, yeah, your mom's just stuck at work, again.

Uh, I need you on Heather duty tomorrow

'cause I have to chauffeur Holly around.

‐ I need your help tomorrow. ‐ Absolutely not.

‐ Harsh, but straight to the point. I can respect that.

‐ Sorry, Heather, but when you ask for help,

there's a high probability I'll get in trouble.

And with Dad being on edge because Mom is never home,

I am not risking it.

‐ Please? All I want to do

is buy artisanal honey from the farm on Highway 7.

‐ "Artisanal honey"? ‐ Sounds sweet, huh?

‐ Whoa! The company sent

enough clothes to outfit a small country. Hehe!

‐ And they're all amazing! I want Ivy & Coast

to sponsor my life. (both chuckling)

‐ How can I possibly choose?

How about this one? ‐ It depends.

Does Oscar have a thing for mermaids?

‐ Not gonna choose what I wear based on what Oscar will like.

‐ That means Tyler still has a shot.

‐ We agreed to just be friends. ‐ But now

that he's seen you with someone else, he wants to make a move before it's too late.

Why else would he want to talk? ‐ I just don't want

anyone to get hurt. ‐ Then you need to choose.

You can go with the old, dependable option

or pick something new and exciting.

‐ This dress is perfect! The cut is very fashion forward,

but it also has pockets, which is practical.

"I didn't get paid for making this dress."

This... this has to be

a prank, right? ‐ I actually read about this.

Ivy & Coast had factories in Bangladesh that got shut down

because of poor working conditions. ‐ And the managers

didn't pay any of their workers for their work.

‐ You can't believe everything you see online.

‐ There are multiple sources.

‐ No. Just‐just don't wear their clothes. Easy‐peasy.

‐ I have to, it's in my contract.

‐ Isn't Gwen Taylor an ambassador for human rights?

Do you think you could talk to her?

‐ I don't know, but it's worth a try.

‐ This is the address you gave me.

‐ Great! Now all you need to do is pretend you're

Charlie Wilson. You're looking for Russian queens to make

your apiary hardy against mice.

‐ I thought you wanted artisanal honey.

‐ Yeah, and we'll have that in six to eight months.

First, we need the bees. (Robbie sighing)

‐ OK, you're gonna tell me what we're really doing here?

And just like that, we are on our way

back home! ‐ OK! OK! OK.

(sigh) This is Grandpa's farm.

‐ Poppy lives in Milwaukee.

‐ Not Mom's dad. Dad's dad.

He took off when Dad was young,

and I tracked him down.

He's a beekeeper, and I've been emailing him as Charlie Wilson,

and up and coming, young apiarist.

‐ What?! ‐ A fancy word for beekeeper.

‐ Yeah, I‐I‐I know that.

Well, actually I didn't, but this is messed up.

You don't know what happened all those years ago.

‐ But if I find out, maybe I can fix it.

(door closing)

Oh, my gosh!

There he is.

‐ Hi! I'm Robert Hobbie.

You must be Charlie.

‐ Yeah, um... And this is my sister

Harriet. We're here to buy

some... ‐ Russian queens.

‐ Then, come right this way.

Just make sure you "beehive."

Hahahaha!

(crowd cheering)

‐ Make sure you get Holly too.

‐ (girl): Holly, can you sign this?

(crowd cheering)

‐ Hahaha! ‐ So, uh...

what's the deal with that Tyler guy?

‐ Oh, um...

we were married in first grade, but things didn't work out.

‐ Oh. Wow!

You Collinsville kids move fast.

(crowd hubbub)

I like you, Holly,

but I don't play games.

Except Scrabble.

Scrabble's awesome.

‐ I like Scrabble too.

(both chuckling)

‐ (kid): It's her! It's Gwen Taylor!

‐ Hello, Collinsville! (Gwen laughing)

(crowd cheering)

‐ Hey, Gwen, this is‐‐ ‐ Holly and Oscar. So nice

to meet you in person. ‐ You know my name!

‐ You've got a sound check in 10, and you're meeting

the Ivy & Coast people first. ‐ Oh, um, can we have a moment?

In private?

‐ OK. ‐ Oscar, come with me.

‐ Nervous for tonight's show?

‐ A little. ‐ Have you picked an outfit yet?

We should coordinate. ‐ That's the thing.

You see, Ivy & Coast‐‐ ‐ I need a green tea.

Don't worry, I'm listening. You were talking

about Ivy & Coast? ‐ Uh, the company has had

some pretty questionable work practices.

‐ Wow! This is awful.

‐ What do we do?

‐ Hope no one finds out.

‐ But maybe you could just talk to someone.

‐ And get them to change their policies in a day?

That's pretty unlikely. Plus, I could be labelled

as difficult, and no one would want to work with me again.

‐ But you're a big star.

‐ I love your idealism,

but if I mess this up, it's not just me who loses.

There are hundreds of people that rely on me for their livelihoods.

Plus those fans who bought tickets.

Now, I've got to go.

See you tonight. ♪♪♪

(bees buzzing) ‐ You introduce some Russian queens,

there's a good chance you could have a mite‐resistant crop.

‐ They seem pretty ticked off. ‐ Ah, don't worry.

The smoke will chill 'em out.

‐ So, um, how long have you

had this farm? ‐ About 15 years.

‐ And before that?

‐ I used to travel around a bunch.

Thought I had the makings of a singer‐songwriter.

‐ Oh! Just like our sister Holly!

‐ It's time to meet the ladies.

(Robbie grunting) (bees buzzing)

Hey, stay calm. Stay calm. You're making them nervous.

Stay calm. Look out! Oh, look what you did!

(screaming)

‐ We should quit.

‐ If we don't perform now, we'll get sued.

‐ I mean we can't promote a company

that's taking advantage of people, can we?

‐ I mean, of course it's horrible,

but will us not playing one song affect

problems that are happening halfway across the world?

‐ I guess you're right.

And everyone's so excited for the concert.

‐ My gammy is coming all the way from Queens.

But...

whatever you want to do,

I'll support you.

(small chuckle)

‐ I guess we can't disappoint your gammy.

‐ You two look adorable! OK, I'm gonna have you

run through your song for the sound engineer.

Our sponsors have requested a few changes,

there's nothing major. Here are the revised lyrics.

‐ You changed the line about making it through the dark.

‐ The company thought it was a bit of a downer,

and they don't want that feeling associated with their brand.

‐ The last verse is

completely different. ‐ Don't worry, still a banger,

after a lot of talking.

You've been living less than an hour away from me my entire life,

‐ I thought I could fix it.

‐ I know.

‐ This won't get anyone sued? ‐ Well, the contract says

that you can't quit, but it doesn't say that you can't do this.

‐ But you'll probably get fired.

Are you sure you want to do this?

‐ I don't want to perform if I have to act

like someone that's not me.

Yeah. ‐ OK.

Recording.

‐ Hey, everyone. I'm Holly Hobbie.

So, Ivy and Coast makes amazing clothes,

but I've recently found out that they take advantage

of people in other countries.

Shouldn't a company that sells clothes here also care

about people around the world?

I don't have a choice, I have to perform tonight,

but you do have a choice.

You don't have to buy your clothes from Ivy & Coast.

You're not mad, are you? ‐ No way!

What do you think they'll do?

(slow footsteps)

‐ I guess we'll find out.

‐ I've been on the phone for an hour doing damage control.

‐ Guess we're fired.

‐ That would make the company look worse.

They're gonna issue

a public apology, and they're gonna start a fund

to pay back those workers.

‐ That's amazing! ‐ It's a start.

Thank you for being the braver person.

I understand if you don't want to, but I'd still love

to have you on stage with me. ‐ We can still perform?
