Woo! Yeah!

All right! High five!

Low five!

No five!

I'm a college -going guy.

All right!

T .U. by a hair.

How about you guys? T .U. and a couple others.

Um, I'm still waiting to hear.

So what's next? A free ride on Daddy's university savings?

No, no. My dad got slammed just like everyone.

I mean, my parents are going to help, but I got to get a job or something.

Oh! T .U. Stone. Working stiff?

Whatever, I'll put a resume together. How hard can it be? Come on, Peter, name

one thing you've worked on for longer than a week.

Well, until you guys kick me out, my band.

Whatever

it

takes, I know I can make it through.

I know I can make it. I can make it.

My school diploma, eyes blue, and my suspended driver's license. This is some

resume.

You sure you're not hiring?

What, to cut into Holly J's tips?

Don't even think about it.

Oh, guitar and bass, huh?

Yes, two different skills.

It's not like I have any real work experience.

Hey, you want some? Help me bring some beans down from the upstairs.

There's an upstairs?

Careful, that's 50 pounds of dark roast.

This place is huge.

What do you do up here?

Storage. And sometimes I'll take a nap on a slow day.

Check it out. Check it out.

This is a stage.

You add a sound system, clean us up a little bit.

We're in business.

How are we in business?

You're always talking how bands don't have any places to play, right?

So, like, what, you want to put on shows?

Yeah, man, it's a slam dunk.

The kids in this neighborhood do need a place to party.

Yeah, and when your band's not playing, I'll book all their bands, I'll do the

sound, sell some booze -free drinks.

And what do I tell the owner?

Well, what he doesn't know doesn't hurt him, right?

Wrong.

Look, clean the place up, and...

We'll talk to him in the morning, okay?

When I won the math prize, my family all went out for ice cream, even though it

wasn't that hot outside.

It was a great day for all of us. How did you feel?

Felt good.

And proud, I guess.

Clara, this is life riding. I want you to take us on an emotional journey.

Why don't you try again tomorrow?

Who's next?

Jenna, let's hear it.

It's not your fault.

You're sheltered.

Someday you'll have awesome stories.

I'll be square clear forever.

This is the story of a lonely small town girl trying to make friends in the big

city. One thing I learned about city people, they don't get excited when

new comes to town. Gotta admit, the place looks awesome.

So I was thinking, I'll work pro bono the first two weeks, and then... So no

alcohol, no drugs?

Yeah, all ages shows for kids who can't get into bars.

Gavin, you'll vouch for him?

Yeah. I like your friend, but this is on you.

Any trouble, and I mean the smallest bit of funny business, and it's... No funny

business, sir.

Skeleton's owner.

You turn a profit, and I'll put your friend on the payroll.

See you next week.

There you go.

And in other news... Uh, today we have a special announcement from Peter Stone.

That's you. Read that.

I wish there was a cool all -ages place peeps like us could go to watch live

bands. Holy coincidence!

Tonight's the grand opening of exactly the place you just mentioned.

Where and when can my many friends and I partake in such excitement?

Good question, Nancy. Have you ever heard of the Dot?

Uh, yeah, Dupas, I work there.

The club is called Above the Dot.

And it's right above the dot. You get it?

Stupid.

In other news, the Lepidoptery Society bake sale is happening in the cafeteria

today.

Kate, Sav, I can't talk right now, okay?

Claire Edwards.

Interviewing for Prop Master, right?

Sorry about the phone call.

Oh, that's okay.

It's a really big job to put together this whole show.

Yeah, tell that to my demanding cast and crew. They think it's easy.

No way.

I stage manage my Sunday School musical and work every weekend for two months.

Two months, huh? That's commitment.

Well, it was worth it. I mean, I love stuff like this.

Okay, done deal. We meet on Thursdays, okay?

What were we listening to?

Uh, the Batalis. Their ninny band I heard in Italy.

Ever been?

Oh, you gotta go.

Pick some grapes, drink some wine, met a crazy girl with a Vespa.

Tuscany changed my life.

Oh, sorry, I'm boring you.

No, no, it was a great story.

Hey, Peter.

I'm surprised you remember me.

You're Fiona's cousin, right?

Yeah, I don't really remember much else from that night.

Post -math.

I shouldn't have given it to you. I'm sorry.

Vicky's been clean for, what, two months now?

And I just wonder, how about you?

I haven't touched a thing since that stupid weekend.

Good for you, sweetie.

Well, nice to see you.

Wait, wait, wait.

I'm starting a new club. It's like an all -ages live music thing.

Cool.

Check it out.

You working on your story?

Great guess.

I didn't think your other one was so bad.

What do you want?

We haven't talked since.

Kind of what happens after a breakup.

I just want to know if you're okay.

My life didn't revolve around you, Casey.

I have a whole bunch of things going on that you know nothing about.

So spare me the pity.

Okay. So I'll see ya.

I thought you'd be on stage.

Oh, one of the side effects of meth use.

You lose your band.

Could've been worse.

This is the coolest thing.

Yeah, it's the first night, so we should probably pick up. You know, like, word

of mouth or whatever.

So, you think people will keep coming for coffee and bottled water?

I bet.

No, it's all about booking off and bands.

Prince Helder and the Phantoms are about to do a club tour.

They might do a low -pressure tune -up show.

That'd be great, but, like, how?

I know them, and they owe me a favor.

No way. Would you do that?

I'll look into it. No problem, Cliff.

Do you smell something?

Uh,

hey, guys. I don't mean to narc out or anything, but gotta get rid of that.

Or my sick friends and I could go somewhere else and tell everyone how

place is.

Okay, just take it to the bathroom, alright?

Hey, Coolio.

You want some of this?

No, go ahead.

So, minus the cost, we made 18 bucks.

Whatever, man.

That was awesome.

Yeah, and we're going to spread and listen to some help.

Yeah, so who is the lovely lady?

She's, um, that girl I was talking about.

Fiona and Declan's cousin?

The meth chick?

Yeah, but she's clean now. She's been in N .A. for two months. Cool.

Hey, sorry, man. We're closed. Come back to... I'm with Metro Drug Task Force.

We just busted some kids who said they bought drugs here.

That's not possible.

It's not possible. We keep hearing these things. We're going to have to send the

permit folks over, and they can shut you down.

No, no, it won't happen again, okay? I guarantee that.

See you around.

Did you see anything?

Just a couple of stoners.

Great, so the first night we're turning into a drug den?

Hey, dude, you want any more of this?

Maybe it's not our job to be a couple of nerds.

Your job is to make sure I don't lose my job, alright? So anyone with drugs gets

the boot.

Clear? Yes, sir.

Pete! Yeah, I got it.

I got the best tan while picking grapes, and that's when I met Matteo. He took

me for a ride on his Vespa, and as the wind blew through my hair, I realized

that Tuscany truly changed my life.

Moving.

Compelling. Well done.

Tuscany. A Vespa. Really.

You don't know everything about me.

I guess not.

Now, the Linux operating system is an excellent example of free and open

software collaboration.

No way.

Peter, is there something you'd like to share with the class?

Actually, yes, there is.

Tonight, Fritz Heller and the Phantoms are playing Above the Dot.

Videos are sick, are you serious?

Have I ever lied to you, Daniel?

Whatever, whatever.

Doors are at eight.

If it's okay with you, can we get back to Windows versus Linux?

Go right ahead, sir.

Thank you.

Now, Linux offers two -tiered security, which means...

Thanks, Mickey. You're a lifesaver.

Never be able to pay you back.

Never say never, sweetie.

Mickey!

Is this the lucky guy?

This is a friend I told you about.

Well, he's in a pretty big... favor for just a friend enjoy the show thanks

pastel you rock so friend you've been talking me up

by and i blew my chances when i gave him crank well it sort of caused me to

break up with my girlfriend so in a weird way this made your chances better

So what are they now?

They look pretty good.

So I guess I'm a lucky girl.

Claire,

I

still can't believe you wanted to come here.

get any more great stories lying in my bedroom.

Well, uh, that depends.

Declan, hi.

Prom Master Claire.

You're a fan of the Fritz, too?

Sure. I also downloaded Batali's album. They're amazing.

Who are the Batali?

Just this indie band from Italy.

Did you hear them when you were there riding around on your backpack?

I thought you said you were never there.

You get grapes, too?

I was boring her with my stories earlier.

See you in there.

Oh, my God!

Claire, you stole that one story?

I'm busted.

Congratulations.

Claire! Claire!

Come back!

You guys believe this

crowd? Can you believe this cash?

Oh, I love the stink of cover charts.

Come here.

I might even get a raise out of this.

What can I say? I'm an entrepreneur.

And a LaFario, apparently.

Oh, that?

I'm a people and I totally made out with Victoria.

Dirty dog. Come here. Come here.

What are you doing?

Rubbing your head for good luck. She's on the roll.

Touch him. Touch him. Okay, but I'm going to head to the bathroom.

Okay.

I like your top.

Cute.

I just saw Victoria in the bathroom taking drugs.

She came out of the stall wiping her nose.

Maybe she has a cold.

I know what I saw, Peter.

Get your eye checked, Jane. Hey, hey, hey.

She already screwed up your life once, all right? We're not going to let that

happen again.

I had a drug problem, right?

She's in a program.

That's history. People change.

Yeah, well, history often repeats itself.

Claire.

Claire, wait a second. Why? So you can call me a liar?

What's happening? Why are you trying to be someone else? Because I'm boring.

Allie, you're growing up and I'm just watching.

What are you talking about? You have lots of stories to tell. There's that

you got the funny haircut.

And, well, you and Casey just broke up. I mean, that is drama, right?

Thanks, Allie. I almost forgot.

Sorry, Claire.

But it's okay to feel bad.

Can we feel bad at the mall at lunch? Can't face Casey and Jenna in the cap

today.

Hey, thanks for meeting me on my lunch break.

Didn't get a chance to say goodbye last night.

Sorry, something came up. But above the dots, it's going to be the party place

this summer.

Yeah, it's going so well.

Starting to get the party vibe again.

I know you're in N .A. and everything, but...

I was wondering if you had any of your old hookups.

Like... your drugs?

Yeah, no pressure.

I'm glad you're clean.

It's just, I guess, I'm not as strong as you are.

I'm not that strong.

I've been cheating.

Here.

I can get more.

Great. And, uh... If your friends are looking to score, you know where to find

me.

Where will that be?

Rehab or jail?

I don't want your stupid drugs.

What was it?

Some kind of test?

Don't come to the club.

Don't call me.

I can't be around that crap anymore.

I'm not planning on anyone seeing Lacey bra, you know, it's just for me

What

are you doing the only thing I think I did wrong with Casey was to be my honest

up to why wasn't that enough Claire, this is a story.

It's pathetic.

It's heartbreaking.

It's honest.

It would blow Miss Kwan away.

I can't tell people, Allie.

Too personal?

No.

It's not finished.

I still have to write the part where the girl gets the guy back. Claire, are you

serious?

Maybe it's time to get interesting.

Okay, here comes the nap.

Man, when are you going to make enough money to buy the club a soundtrack?

The way things are going? Probably pretty soon.

Hey, um, Benner told us what you did.

It must have been hard.

You know, it's cool how you got to Ben and set up the club. You take good care

of us. All right, come on, let's get on with it. The bass drum? Yeah.

All right, back to roadie work.

Here we go.

Hey, hold up, hold up.

We had a new sign made.

Janie instead is featuring Peter Stone.

Guys, what is this?

Well, we thought that you and I could sing duets.

So I'm back in?

You guys are serious?

Come here, guys.

Come here.

You guys rock.

Thank you.

I love you guys.
