Original subtitles

You know you're not supposed to go to a 90-minute yoga class when I have things

that I am dying to tell you. Oh, God, forgive me for being so inconsiderate.

What? What's up?

I just spent the afternoon playing foosball with Eddie.

I bet he had no idea what he was getting himself into.

Nope. I showed no mercy. Good for you.

You know, if there's anything I have learned in all of my years, it is that

men love it when you beat them in a game.

He actually looks like he was having fun. But that's not even the best part.

Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Let me guess. For dinner, you took on Justin

Bieber in ping pong?

No, not even close, but thank you for trying. Kelly came over and we had a pow

-wow about my career.

How'd that go?

Great. Wow, you know, I'm really happy for you. I mean, she seemed to really

like your song, was really excited about helping you.

You already talked to her? Yeah, the video shoot.

I mean, I didn't expect her to move so quickly.

She already had all these vocal lessons and performance classes lined up so I

could jumpstart my career.

I mean, she started talking about acting classes, and I was like, let's walk

before we can run. Wow.

Wow, she's fast.

So when are you recording your first album? Or did you already do that when I

was at yoga? Very funny.

She does want to hear some more of my originals, though. And she said that

once the songs are ready, we can put them on the internet and start a little

buzz. Isn't that great?

It's, I mean, yeah, it sounds good.

I know that it sounds too good to be true, but I get a good vibe about Kelly.

I think she's the real deal. I couldn't be happier for you. And just to play

devil's advocate, though, are you sure it really isn't too good to be true?

You're lying.

Chloe would never cheat on me, especially with a scum mag like you.

You're so gullible, man.

I mean, what is she going to say about me?

Tyler's so good in bed, I can't stop sleeping with him, even though I'm with

you. Shut up!

Come on, man. She's going to tell you whatever you need to hear so you don't

suspect anything.

No, you're wrong. You don't know her like I do.

Right. I've only known her since middle school.

It doesn't matter.

Okay, you're jealous.

You hate that I have her and you don't. It's pathetic.

I'm pathetic?

You're the one who chooses to believe a woman who's been unfaithful to you from

the very start. I don't believe you. Okay? You're full of lies.

All right.

Well, maybe you'll believe this.

Does this ring a bell?

Uh, Eddie, I don't feel well, so I'm going to stay at home tonight. And guess

who was waiting for her? You even came to check up on her when I was still

there. I don't believe it. Yes, you do!

The only reason she's with you is because you're a rock star. You're a

liar!

Does this sound familiar?

I can't come to your concert tonight, Eddie. I got a fitting.

Yeah, she had a fitting. I had to make sure everything fit, all right?

Stop it! Stop it, both of you!

Here, you have a little blood on your nose.

Tell me the truth.

All right, you gonna stick my own tie behind my back?

Never. Never. This is what he does. He'll say anything to tear us apart. He

is a psychopathic lying stalker. Like I said before, she'll tell you whatever

you want. Shut the hell up! Just come clean, Chloe.

I already told him our little details about the rendezvous.

No. See, it is more lies, Eddie.

He will do anything to hurt me because I rejected him.

No, he has been trying to get me to break up with you and actively pursuing

me, like that kiss that he forced on me.

That's a lie. We will go right now. We will go to the police, and I will get a

restraining order.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

Maybe this will help.

How do you like her new butterfly tattoo that she got on her inner left thigh?

You got that a couple months ago, right?

Yes, this cool aqua blue color with yellow around the wings.

I swear it glows in the dark.

Yeah, you've been lying to me this whole time.

Yeah, I think it's great that you're there for your dad.

And send him my best, all right? Tell him to get well soon so I can get my

revenge on the late course of Mountain Gate.

Okay, love you, Trace.

All right, call you in the morning.

Did she make it to Chicago okay?

Yeah, she wanted me to thank you again for arranging the whole flight. It went

real smooth.

And how's her dad?

He's out of the worst of it. He's staying in the hospital so they can keep

an eye on him for a while.

But Tracy's very optimistic.

Good. I felt so bad that I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to her.

Yeah, we were wondering where you went.

I had to take care of some personal stuff, and I thought I was going to get

here before she left. And, you know, I know this is a lame excuse, but I still

can't get used to this traffic.

I'm surprised you have doubts about... Kelly, you never second-guess me. I'm

sure she's a wonderful person. I just... There's just a lot of unanswered

questions, you know? Like, I mean, do you know that she's even an actual

manager? And are you sure that Jake's a part of all of this? She said that Jake

was behind this 100%. Why wouldn't I believe her? Because all you ever hear

about are scams in Hollywood, especially on young, impressionable talent that is

easily taken advantage of.

I'm not that young. I'm 18.

And technically, I don't need your approval.

Did you just use the I'm an adult card on me?

Oh, wow.

I should switch to something stronger than tea.

What's going on with us?

I don't know.

When's the last time that we disagreed on something?

The Breaking Bad incident?

They're so mean on that show. No, I mean about something important. Well, it

seemed important at the time.

Listen, I mean, nothing would make me happier.

for then all this Kelly stuff to be true. And after the week you've had, who

am I to believe that it wouldn't be? But I just, I just want you to be extra

careful.

That's what I don't get. I'm always too careful.

You're the one who was saying that I should take more chances.

Well, I'm sorry if I'm coming across as a mother, but I'm just being honest.

I don't know, maybe I would feel a little better if I was just able to hear

for myself what she had in store for you.

She said she's gonna send some stuff over for you to look at.

Okay.

Look, the video shoot is postponed till tomorrow. You can come by and ask her

whatever you want. Thank you, I will.

Hey.

Are we good?

I just can't get over your lack of trust in my judgment.

I'm deferring Brown to pursue a music career, and I finally found someone who

can help me.

I thought you'd be ecstatic.

I just want you to slow down, you know?

And I just want you to be the Lauren who examines something closely and then re

-examines it and considers it and reconsiders it.

That Lauren would still be singing songs to a poster in her bedroom.

Are you kidding? Okay, I was in the middle of texting Nicole.

Where were you earlier?

With Phil?

Of course not, okay? Remember, I promised to be good, which to you means

not dating Phil. You broke up with him this morning?

Because you were driving his car last night. I was at the accident, remember?

Yeah, I broke up with him this morning.

So I assume if you broke up with Phil, you lied to the police? What police?

The detective, the one who questioned you.

Him. So many run-ins with the cops, you can't keep him straight?

No. Okay, what did Detective Baldy say I said?

That you were with Phil the night of the robbery.

Okay, you caught me. I was with Phil, but I didn't plan on it. You have to

remember the timeline, though. This is before I promised to be good with my

behavior and before we agreed on a truce. So you're with Phil the night of

the robbery?

Yes. Before you came home, Phil and I spent some quality time together.

Okay, don't worry. We kept it PG-13. How about PG?

I'm telling you right now.

That Phil is a troublemaker, and soon he'll be in more trouble than he can

handle.

It's too bad.

Yeah.

You can bake him a cake and bring it to him in prison. Put a little file in

there, you know?

What? I don't even bake. I don't even know what you're talking about. Phil and

I are not together anymore, so I don't care about any of this.

Good.

By the way, I stopped by to see Phil's parents. I told them to keep Phil away

from you, or I'd do it myself.

Figures. Even when Phil's not around, he finds a way to stink up my birthday.

What are you talking about? We're having a good time.

We were.

That was before Dr.

Don came in, beating his chest like a gorilla.

Since then, I've been sitting around like we're at a wake.

You're right.

You know, we let Phil put a damper on your day, and this day is all about you.

What can we do to turn it around?

You could let me take my new car for a spin and go show it off to Lauren.

Like you said, Mom, it's my car, so I can do what I want with it, right?

I know I don't know if it's the best idea now that it's gotten dark out. At

least she's going to have to drive her car at night sometime. Let her take a

drive.

Just be careful.

Thank you so much. The real reason you're getting me out of the house is

because when Phil comes home, you're going to give him the what-for, right?

Good guess.

And like your mom said, be careful.

You too.

Driving in your car is a lot easier than confronting Phil.

Good luck, guys.

Have fun.

I will.

I know,

right?

Who just tossed us aside like that? There were some hiccups. We got the job

done. I know, right?

We take all the risk, we get nothing for it.

You know what I was thinking, though?

I was thinking maybe we should steal this stuff back.

You know, just to show him that he can't screw with us.

You're talking crazy talk, man.

Am I?

I mean, that stuff was brand spanking new, grade A.

Colorado gave us nothing for it.

There's nothing we can do about it, though, man. It's like we can go steal a

little bag or something.

Why the hell not?

You stole it once before.

You're getting way too cocky, bro.

I know where he keeps his merch, all right?

We've broken into tougher places before.

Tougher places, maybe, but not tougher situations.

I mean, do you have any idea how risky that would be? Are you getting scared

all of a sudden?

Look, all right, I don't mind stealing stuff, making a quick buck, all right?

I'm not gonna get killed over a couple of stupid phones.

You know why you'd do it?

The thrill?

I don't need that much thrill, all right?

I heard Colorado would shop off a guy's two fingers for a short amount of

payment. Do you have any idea what he would do to us if he caught us stealing

from him?

He wouldn't catch us.

We're too good.

I want no part of it, man.

I ain't got enough fingers, Phil.

We can do this.

You'll never know.

You want thrills?

Go to Six Flags.

Ride a roller coaster.

Just don't do this, man. Don't do it.

Fine.

You know, from now on, I'll look along.

Knowing about my tattoo, it doesn't mean anything.

He's been stalking me. He probably has naked pictures of me. Shut up!

Stop it!

Okay, I warned you.

All right, after I learned that your dead mother was alive, any more secrets

you kept from me, we were through.

And this is one hell of a secret.

What do you know? I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear any more of

your lies.

Does it hurt?

Good.

Good.

Which is how you made me feel.

He

was

going to dump you sooner or later.

It just happened to be today.

How could you do this to me?

You were...

everything it's your fault i gave you a way out and you refused it and now

you're stuck why why i worked so hard at this just calm down just calm down

i know it's painful but it's for the best now you can come back to where you

belong i hate you i will never forgive you for this

I was just about to call you.

Oh, of course you were. We're best friends. We read each other's minds.

Oh, yeah? What am I thinking right now?

You're thinking that you wish I was on my way over with a yummy piece of

birthday cake?

No.

But now that I think about it, I haven't had a good dessert in a few hours.

Okay, good.

I'll be there pronto.

And I've got a surprise to show you.

Oh, no. Please do not tell me you got that birthday belly button piercing that

you've been talking about.

No. I'm saving that for the midlife crisis I'm bound to have.

Well, hurry up. Get over here. I need your advice on something.

You're lucky.

I'm one year older, which means I am that much wiser.

You know, and look how late it is. I didn't even get a chance to eat. I'm

probably just going to order some takeout. The menus are in the door next

to the fridge, right?

Actually, you know, I've been working, you know, all day myself and kind of

didn't eat. Do you mind if I glom onto your takeout order?

I knew you were a glommer, Jake.

Yeah, sure. What do you want?

Nothing too heavy.

All right. Something light. How about something spicy?

Yeah. Bring on the heat, Kelly. Bring it. Okay. I know just the place. I'm

going to order a bunch of stuff so that you can have some leftovers while

Tracy's gone. That's a really good idea. And since you're watching over me 24-7,

let's just make it a working dinner.

You know, why don't we just take a break from work for an hour?

It's been a really stressful day. We can take a break.

OK. It's been a while, but I think I remember what one of those non-working

dinners is like.

Let's take a shot at it.

Treat me so holy Because of your

sting All your material goals

You're just wasting my time

Missed the cake, didn't I?

You missed a lot more than that. I saved you a piece, but you should have been

here for your sister.

My bad.

Got tied up at work.

Is she around?

No, she's not.

Neither is someone else who dropped by. Adriana's dad, Don.

Let me guess.

He wants to set up a family dinner with all of us? This is not a time to be

funny, Phillip.

You threaten legal action, son, if you don't stay away from his daughter.

Yeah, that sounds like him. Don thinks you're involved in something illegal.

Is there any truth to that? The guy will say anything to get me to stop dating

Adriana. I mean, she says he's done this with boyfriends in the past.

Doesn't think anybody's good enough to date the daughter of the doctor.

So that means the doctor must be lying when he says he was paid a visit by the

police.

I don't know.

Maybe. Police dropping by someone's house is not something a respectable

person like Dr. Masters would make up.

Apparently, the police have a problem with Adriana's alibi about you.

So what are we getting at?

Do you think I'm lying again?

There are just a lot of coincidences. We all just want to get at the truth.

So you do think that I stole those computers?

Yes.

I do.

And I think you're lying about everything.

Hey, girlfriend.

Notice anything different about me?

Oh, my God, you got a new keychain.

Oh, very funny.

After the last one you had, you abandoned it and it was found stripped

down to the bone? No, I cannot believe that anyone would trust you with a

vehicle. Luckily, this one was already in place before all that happened.

You know, I'm really starting to come around on Lisa.

Although my dad probably coerced her into going along with this, but eh, eh,

eh. I'm still really happy for you. Me too.

So, what is the big surprise?

You are just so funny.

Let's take it for a spin. Come on. Hey, Melissa.

Hi. Happy birthday again.

And congratulations on the car. How did you know?

Uh, how do I put this?

You're not the quietest of talkers, but you've probably heard that before.

I don't hear anything. I'm too busy talking.

If it's all right with you, I'm going to go with Melissa to drive in her car,

unless you have doubts about her character as well.

Bye, Dawn.

Have a good night. Night.

Hi,

Dawn. Hi.

I hope I'm not calling too late.

No, not at all.

Is everything all right?

I just had a fight with Adriana.

You're the only person I can talk to. I mean, you're the only rational person I

know. I'm the most rational person?

Um, you might need a lifestyle adjustment.

I just need some advice.

Well, I don't know if I should be the one doling out parental advice at the

moment. Lauren and I just got in a tiff ourselves.

That's a surprise.

I was wishing Adriana had just one of Lauren's qualities.

Well, she still is a teenager.

Actually, I take that back.

Today she informed me that she's an adult who can do as she pleases.

Why do we have children again?

Have you tried communicating with her?

Oh, I'd say that's very funny.

It's just a strange sensation, you know, having her mad at me.

I'll be right over. We should help each other out.

Misery loves company, right?

steps forward three steps back that's what i've

become but i i feel a little

damaged maybe you're

Papers thought that the new car smell was just a myth, but it's real, and it

smells great.

Smells like a victory.

This is a sick car, Mel. You're so lucky. I know.

I love it.

Can I confess something, Mel?

Yeah, please do.

I feel weird about the car.

Why?

Like, I don't know. I just don't feel like I deserve it.

Wow. Never heard you say anything like that before. I know.

That's what makes it even weirder.

What am I... What does it mean? Am I... Are you what?

My growing up?

Maybe.

Are you thinking of giving the car back?

No. That thought never came within 10 miles of my head. I think you're safe,

Mel.

I don't know. The thing I just don't feel good about is that it feels like a

bribe or compensation.

You know, like, hey, sorry, we've been such jerks lately and ruined your life.

Don't be mad.

Here are your keys.

I've seen you take advantage of situations like this with your parents

before with no qualms. That's the problem. I got qualms. I got lots and

lots of qualms.

Parents, man, right?

So what's going on with you and your mom?

What do you mean?

There was some tension between the Tate women tonight.

I've never seen that.

Nora and I are fine.

Wait, I'm sorry. Did you just call your mom Nora? You're calling your mom by her

first name? This is way worse than I thought.

Mel, it's not a big deal.

Okay, we just got into a disagreement, and I blew it out of proportion.

That new car smell really starts to get on your nerves after a while, doesn't

it? It does, yeah, it really does.

Let's just try to have a mature discussion. No.

No, I'm done being nice, and I'm done tap dancing around Phil's behavior,

okay? I've had enough of it.

We've given him ample opportunity to come clean, and what do we get every

time? Deny, deny, deny.

That's because I haven't done it. Anything.

How many times do I have to say it? Then how come every time something goes

wrong, Phil, something bad happens, you're standing right there?

I mean, your father's right. There are several occasions that make us question

how truthful you're being.

I don't know why I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It's probably just bad luck.

No, then nobody's that unlucky.

Maybe someone's trying to frame me.

Like your girlfriend did to Lauren?

Possible. Maybe Lauren's come back to wreak revenge. Knock it off, Phil.

Admit it. You stole those computers.

I could do that.

Yeah.

But then I'd be lying, and I was taught never to lie to my parents, so... You

know what? I was taught never to use corporal punishment on my kids, but I

swear to God, son, if you don't cut this crap out, I'm going out the window with

that. Calm down, Gus.

Is there anything else you want to accuse me of?

I think you stole those computers from our warehouse.

And I think that is just the tip of the iceberg, son.

Well, since you got it all figured out, why don't you go down to the police

station?

Give them all the evidence that you don't have.

You know, I don't know what's going on with Adriana.

She's the Bonnie to your cool Clyde, you know?

Maybe you're using her to cover your tracks. Is that it?

It's amazing you have all these conspiracies in your head, Dad.

Are you one of those guys that don't think when the moon landing happened, it

all happened on a soundstage?

I'm gonna give you one more chance to come clean.

All right, you tell us the truth. You let us help you before you get in so

deep we're not able to. Please, honey, just be honest with us. If you're in

trouble, maybe we can help.

We will figure this out. We will work it out. I promise you that.

I'm done with you.

I can't believe my own father has so little faith in me.

And if this is the way I'm going to be treated in my house, why am I even

living here?

I'm gonna get my own place.

Nice knowing you.

Phil. Honey.

Don't.

Wait.

What's the friend emergency?

I can't find Nicole.

She's never around when I need her, which means she's officially no longer

my friend. So, you've just been promoted.

Thanks. I think.

Don't thank me. Just always be available whenever I have a crisis.

Like now. I just had an end-of-the-world fight with my dad.

No. You didn't really just call me all the way down here so you could tell me

how you and your dad got into another screaming contest, did you?

Lame. No, who cares? I just need you to hear why we had this fight.

What is it?

Some stupid computers were stolen from the library and the police think that

Phil did it.

Well, did he?

Well, he needs me to be his alibi even though we weren't together.

So, what do you think?

Scandalous.

So what? You guys are like partners in crime?

I need you to promise that you'll put what I'm about to tell you in the vault.

I love putting things in the vault.

I've gone on another robberies with Phil.

No way.

Yeah, I drive the getaway car.

No, you don't. Yeah, we have a total system. Phil knows Locky Boy. They break

in, get whatever they can.

And I get us out of there. So what are you guys taking, like jewels and

diamonds? Electronics, cell phones, computers, and video games.

No, you didn't. Last night, I had to tear us out of there because the cops

were chasing us.

But due to my incredible driving skills, we lost them. It was like that movie

with all the car chases.

Weren't you, like, afraid?

I was scared just talking about it. Yeah, at first, but it was a total rush.

I loved it. I knew Phil always wanted people to think that he was some bad

boy, but I just thought that was his haircut.

I had no idea.

Yeah, my boyfriend's pretty cool.

And from now on, we're doing all of it together.

So the more things that we jack, if that's what they call it, the more money

that we make, which means the sooner that we can just get out of here and get

a place of our own, I can be away from my dad.

So what do you think? Am I a responsible mother or an overprotective ogre who

won't let my daughter make any of her own decisions?

Definitely the former.

It's a big deal signing up with a manager. She needs help and guidance,

and that's your expertise.

Help and guidance. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I can help and guide with the best of them. I mean, and Lauren's fine

with that. It's just, I don't know, she believes in this Kelly woman

wholeheartedly. And when I brought up my reservations, she was offended that I

didn't trust her judgment.

Nora,

things aren't going to get any easier.

Probably not the truth.

But I have faith in you two, you know, and I envy your relationship.

Believe me, you'll work it out.

You know, would it be okay if I took the morning off work tomorrow just to go

down to this video shoot? I just want to talk to this Kelly face-to-face.

Well, I guess the office can do without you for a few hours, but it won't be

easy on me personally.

Thank you.

The compliment or the time off?

Both.

Thanks. I got to give you time off. I feel partially responsible for this

argument with Lauren. How's that?

Well, I introduced you to Max.

Got the ball rolling on this new path that Lauren's on.

The only thing you're responsible for is giving Lauren the opportunity of a

lifetime. That makes me happy to hear.

I think once you talk to Kelly, it's going to ease your concerns.

I hope so.

I just want to be sure.

How about we meet for lunch afterward and you tell me all about it? I would

love that.

And I'm really glad you called tonight.

That makes two of us.

What happened?

The engagement's off.

Everything's off.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. That's terrible. What can I do to help you? No,

none of this would have happened if it weren't for... Honey, come

here.

I was worried about you.

Listen,

I want to apologize.

You were right.

Chloe's been cheating on me the whole time.

I'm so sorry, Eddie.

I had it out with Tyler.

I told Chloe we were finished.

Damn it.

I'm sorry.

You're not going to say it?

Say what?

I told you so.

No, of course not.

I'm not going to pour salt on that wound. I know you're hurting. I should

have listened to you from the beginning.

It's hard to listen when you're in love.

And now the sap.

We all go through it, Eddie.

And I know it's hard, but you'll fall in love again.

Not anytime soon.

Trust me.

Well, you know, it's not your fault.

She played me.

Well, that's her problem.

It's Chloe, and she's going to have to deal with that. She's not your concern

anymore.

You're right.

She's dead to me.

What's wrong?

Don't worry, my dad's been gone for a while.

Yeah, I know. He was over at my parents' house threatening legal action if we

stay together.

I don't know. My dad's never been this interested in anything that I do.

I guess that's what happens when I date a bone-fed bad boy.

You know what? I'm done living at home.

I'm going to move into a motel tonight.

Then we can seriously start looking for an apartment.

Yes! Yes! A million times yes!

I'll call you tonight. Tell you where I am.

I cannot wait to start our life together.

So tell me, is L.A. everything you thought it was gonna be?

More.

Yeah, I mean, I don't normally believe in fate or anything like that, but just,

you know, being able to follow in your footsteps and maybe getting my own

clientele one day, it just really feels like this was meant to be.

Yeah, well, I don't believe in any of that fate or luck garbage, you know?

Just hard work.

Wow. You can take the boy out of Western PA, but you can't take the Western PA

out of the boy, huh? Yeah, that's right.

I mean, I'm sure it's the same for you, you know? You probably worked really

hard at the record label back in New York.

Yeah, I did, but I wasn't satisfied.

Why's that?

You know, I wasn't challenged.

All the talent was already established. I didn't get a chance to be there from

the beginning and mold a career, and that's what gets me up in the morning.

You know what? I take back what I said about the whole fate and luck thing,

because I actually have something very similar to that that I believe in.

Are you looking for these?

Fortune cookies!

Something exciting is in store for you.

Wow, mine says the same thing.

It's not a lot of selection.

Yo, what is so funny?

I don't know. I'm embarrassed.

It's so sophomoring. This is so stupid.

We used to...

put in bed at the end of every fortune.

I know, I know, it's silly, it's silly.

Wait, wait, wait, so you're saying it'd be something exciting is waiting for

you. In bed.

I know, I know, it's really stupid.

No, I mean, it's hilarious, you know? If you take the whole in bed part out,

though, fortune's actually dead on. You know, I think there's a lot of great

things on the horizon for both of us.

Cheers. Cheers.

It's Trace. I'll take this.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll clean up.

You sure?

Wow, thanks. I'm really glad that we did this.

Yeah, me too.

You know that girl Kelly that works for Jake?

Yes. The one with the smoky green eyes.

She reminds me of Natalie Wood in the West Side Story.

Except the rock and roll version, I guess.

I like her. Well, I like her too. And I think she likes me. She wants to be my

manager.

Lo, I knew good things were going to come from this contest.

I know.

A few hours ago, she came over to my house and she started talking about how

she envisions my career.

You have a career?

That's what I said. It sounds so cool, right? So cool.

I know. Well, my mom is not on board. She says she has to sit down with Kelly

and have a little talk before she can have her stamp of approval or whatever.

What's not to like about Kelly?

Do you need me to talk to your mom? Because you know I will. No.

I really snapped at her.

I mean, I feel bad, but I just couldn't believe she was questioning my judgment.

Yeah, I hear you.

I mean, if you think I'm good enough to be your best friend, then that's kind of

been a friend on me, too.

Think about it.

The only thing is, the more I've been thinking about it, I'm starting to

wonder if she has a point.

I know that Kelly works for Jake, but I'm not exactly sure if she's

technically a manager.

Yeah, but if Jake's on board, then it's practically the same thing.

I don't know.

Maybe I'll just talk to Eddie next time I see him, and he'll probably know

what's up with Kelly, I think.

Do you hear what you're saying?

I'll just talk to Eddie Durant about it.

I want a kind of gas to put in my car. Oh, no, I'll just talk to Eddie Duran

about it, yeah.

Oh, six o'clock again.

Call Eddie Duran about it. No big deal. It's totally fine.

Princess.

Have you thought about, you know,

talking to Jake, getting some time off, you know, get away from it all?

I don't think so.

You know, when your mom passed away, I took off for a couple of weeks. Went to

Bali. And at the time, I wasn't sure how it was going to help, but in hindsight,

it actually did.

It was exactly what I needed.

Yeah.

I just have too much to do, Pop.

I mean, if you don't want to be alone, I'll go with you.

Of course you will.

I appreciate it.

I just think the best thing for me to do right now is to work.

You know, keep my mind occupied, because when it's not, all I think about is her.

Work it is, man.

I'll talk to Jake.

Tell him to clear your schedule so you can start writing some great songs.

Thanks.

I think that's what I need right now.

You know, the best songs actually come from... comes out of deep pain.

Dad, I've heard you say that before, but... But what?

You were in deep pain a couple of years ago, and you didn't produce anything at

all.

Yeah.

So you're saying I shouldn't walk the walk before I talk the talk? No, I'm

saying that you should still be making music.

Right. You know, just because Mom died doesn't mean that I... Hey, you know,

I'll consider it.

But it's not about me right now.

It's about you.

Using your work and your talent to create great songs.

I hope you're right.

I am right. I know I'm right.

But work will get you through this.

Dad?

Yeah?

Thanks.

For what?

Not saying I told you so.

Okay, you've just had a really long day. You just need some rest. No, no, I don't

need rest.

I need to get Eddie back.

I can convince him that I didn't cheat on him.

Honey, you did.

Mom, I need support right now. Are you on my side?

Why are you and Tyler always talking about sides? Is that the way you see

life? People on your side and everybody else is against you?

Yeah, what's wrong with that?

That's a tough way to see the world.

Yeah, Mom, well, it's a tough world. Sue, you're either with me or you're

against me.

I'm with you, honey. I'm with you. Eddie's only seen photos of me kissing

Tyler. I can debunk that. I can create doubt.

I can make Eddie mine again.

Will you stop with the silent treatment already?

It's important that we at least try to be on the same page here.

Why did you so blatantly accuse your own son of stealing? Because it's the truth.

But you pushed him away.

What does that solve?

Look, Lisa, if anything, we have been too soft on Phil.

Right? And we're ignoring the fact that he has been spiraling out of control for

months now.

He's still a boy.

I don't want to lose him.

Then we got to try a different tactic, okay?

No more enabling. We got to do something different. We got to stop this or he's

going to get in worse trouble.

If he moves out, we'll have no way of ever knowing what he's up to.

He's not gonna move out.

I got your message.

Talking on the phone is so impersonal, I thought I'd come by instead.

I'm glad you did.

Yeah. Can I trust Kelly?

Shh.

Let's not talk business.

Truth is, I can't stop thinking about you.

I can't stop thinking about you either.

Lauren, there's something I've wanted to do ever since I first laid eyes on you.

Hey, Lauren, it's Eddie.

Did I wake you?

No, I'm up.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I always sound like this.

I was actually just thinking about you.

Yeah, and what about?

The song and singing stuff.

Okay. What about it?

I really liked the bridge that you wrote.

Oh, good.

I was a little worried about that. I didn't want to mess up your great song.

No, I think it was a great idea.

I have so many ideas right now. I just want to sit at the piano and let the

tape play.

You sound inspired.

I am.

Have you ever had those moments where you just feel like you have to work, you

have to do something?

Just a few weeks ago, I was actually up all night writing songs.

Oh, yeah? What inspired that?

I had just come home from a concert at the Avalon.

Anything come of it?

Some good stuff.

Some not-so-good stuff, but that's usually how it works, right?

Yeah.

For me, anyway, if I have one good idea out of every ten, that sounds about

right.

You just gotta find the good ones.

You know, sometimes they're hidden.

Are you okay?

Yeah, why?

Well, you're calling at, like, two in the morning, and I'm gonna see you in

five hours.

I know, I'm sorry. It's late.

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

I just needed someone to talk to, and you came to mind.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called.

Um, so I'll see you tomorrow.

You got to get some rest.

Eddie. Yeah.

I'm glad you called.

All right.

Good night, Lauren.

Night.

Lily. Yeah, I know it's late, but I thought you'd like to know that it hit

the fan.

They split.

Who do you think? Eddie and Chloe. They're calling it quits.

Yeah.

And I'm ready to give you all the gory details.

For a prayer.

No one does gory like me.
