Original subtitles

Good morning.

How was prom? Were you good?

You know, I'm really torn right now because I kind of want to hear all the

details and I kind of want to hear none of the details. Okay, well, let's go

with none. Okay. Except that I had a really great time. Oh, yeah? And I was

on my best behavior because I'm a mom and I need to set a good example.

Oh, well, you did set a good example because this weekend, Eddie's going to

take me up to a cabin at Big Bear. Absolutely not.

Oh, wow. That was a stronger reaction than I would have thought. I know.

Oh, I almost skipped a beat there. Oh, really?

So, wait, wait, wait. Did something actually happen with you and Eddie?

No, but... Hold on.

Ready? What?

He's just here. He was at our house? Yeah, I think he actually stole some

silverware. Wait a minute. This looks like there's a lot more people here than

I signed off on.

Mom, you're missing the big picture. Eddie was here, okay? And him and Chloe

broke up for good.

Oh, Lauren.

Mm-hmm. And he came to visit me at the cafe, and he was showing me this new

song, and we were talking about it, and I actually had some ideas of how to make

it better. It was so awesome. Oh, honey, you need to slow down.

I'm not speaking any faster than I normally do. Okay, I'm not talking about

how fast you're talking.

You think I should slow down with Eddie?

Yeah, I just want you to take your time, you know, before this thing gets too

big.

What thing? It's not a thing. Oh, well, it feels like it's on the verge of a

thing. I just don't want you to get too attached.

Why? Because you're worried that he doesn't like me?

Or you're worried that he does?

Honestly, I'm not sure.

Come in.

Hey, Jeffrey, I didn't realize you cared so much.

Well, I'm not just a doorman.

I'm your number one fan.

You can set him there. There's a ton of this in the lobby.

Feels like the entire world sent you a gift to wish you a healthy and happy

birthday. I'm getting so old.

Well, they say it's all downhill after 22.

Do they?

But I have a feeling things are going to get better and better for you.

Thanks, Jeffrey.

Thank you.

And happy birthday, Mr. Doran. Thank you.

What are you doing?

Come hold me.

Chloe.

Yeah?

I don't want to hold somebody who's obsessing over somebody else.

I'm not obsessing. I'm focused.

I don't want to do this anymore.

Come on. We both said that like a million times.

No, it's always you saying it, but now it's me. I'm tired of playing second

fiddle to Eddie.

Just calm down. Come hold me. I'm tired.

No. Look, you don't get it. You can't make me your second choice. You can't

keep me at arm's length all the time.

But you're here right now, so what else do you want?

I want you to start acting like a human being instead of this psycho whose life

is only about marrying.

Oh, my gosh. Stop, okay?

Be here or don't be here.

But don't talk to me this way. It's Eddie's birthday, and I have plans to

make. No, don't talk to me this way, mentioning Eddie and all the other

stuff. I thought that you were gonna help me get him back.

And I did.

I gave it my best shot.

But he didn't buy it. That's not my fault, and I don't want to be your

backup plan.

Come on. That's just how it has to be until I get Eddie back.

Then you're going to be alone.

Tyler.

Hello? Hey, it's Kelly. What are you doing?

Oh, I'm just heading to school.

Oh, that's right.

Look, I was wondering if we could get together today so we can start working

on some new songs. There's some really great producers that I can pair you up

with. Oh, that's great.

Do you want me to meet any of them today?

No, it doesn't have to be today, but it would be great if you can pass by after

school and I can hear some of the new stuff.

New stuff at the studio?

How many people are going to be there? It's just going to be me, Stephen, an

engineer, maybe a couple of other people. It's not that many people.

Today might not be the best day. Can you hold on one second?

Hi. Hey, Lauren.

Oh, where are you calling from?

Oh, sorry. It's about calling for my new car. The record label got it for me.

Wow, what is it with birthdays and getting new cars? Is that a new thing

that I haven't heard about?

Aha, so you know it's my birthday already.

Every fan in the world knows that it's your birthday.

Hey, what are you doing? Can you come over after school and help me work on

this new song?

Oh, the one that you played for me last night?

Yep. Yeah, I would love to.

Wait, sorry, I forgot that I have Kelly on the other line. Let me just... I'll

see you later.

Okay.

Kelly, are you still there?

Yeah, I'm still here. What just happened?

Sorry, that was Eddie, and then I forgot that I was on the other line with you.

Okay, well, I guess if I'm going to be forgotten for anybody, it better be

Eddie. Um, so, can you pass by after school?

Actually, I'm supposed to be working on Eddie's new song with him.

Oh. And it's his birthday and everything.

Right.

Lauren, I need to hear some new songs soon.

No, and you will. I promise. Just... Not today.

Um, maybe tomorrow?

Well, it'll be one day less me tomorrow, but I guess that'll be good.

Um, yeah, just let me know how it goes with Eddie.

Okay. And thank you for understanding.

Yeah.

Bye.

Was that Tyler who just left?

Yeah, there's a jackass convention in town. He's the featured speaker.

Chloe. Mom, come on. He can handle the abuse.

Well, it doesn't mean he should have to. Besides, he's not even here. You're

being mean just to be mean.

Does that have gluten?

I didn't ask.

Yeah, I can't eat that.

Okay, well, I'll just leave it right here in case you change your mind.

Oh, you're buying a watch?

I bought a stainless Rolex with a black dial with the inscription, Happy 22nd,

Eddie. Love, Chloe.

You bought Eddie a Rolex watch for his birthday?

Yeah, and I'm just making sure it arrived.

How much that cost?

A lot.

You have been throwing around a lot of money, and I don't see too much coming

back in.

Mom, I'm a model. I'm in demand.

I can work whenever I want.

I haven't seen you working much since I've been here.

The one job I booked, you canceled for me. Thanks again for that.

And plus, I'm focusing on my acting career.

Honey.

I saw your credit card bill, and you're carrying a lot of debt. I'm buying a

gift for the man I'm going to marry.

He is your ex-boyfriend. It is really starting to concern me that you are not

accepting of that reality.

And you're going to lecture me on reality?

I just think you need to start being more careful. And I think I need to

start working harder to get Eddie back.

Well, baby, slow down.

I'm sorry, was I making noise?

No, it's just kind of funny. I mean, you're eating a healthy breakfast, but

you're eating it so fast it may kill you. I see the irony there.

Take a breath, baby. Slow down.

All right.

You know, I've been gone.

I barely saw you yesterday. Can we catch up?

All right.

Here.

So you taking another day off again?

Yeah. Yeah, just... Just one more. I need to clear my head.

No, babe, are you okay?

I know your dad's doing better, and the Chicago trip was good, right? Yeah,

Chicago was good. My dad's better.

But who knows what's next?

You know, he's getting up there, and he doesn't necessarily live the healthiest

of lifestyles. You want me to call him up and talk some sense into him? Oh,

yeah. He always listens to you, so I'm sure that phone call will go well.

Right. Maybe I'll hold off on that. Good idea.

So what happened while I was gone?

What? Why? What did you hear?

I didn't hear anything. That's why I'm asking you. What happened?

Well, the Eddie-Chloe drama continues to take years off my life, but other than

that, everything's good.

What about Kelly?

What about her?

I mean, at work, how is she doing?

Oh, um, good.

You know if she's getting in your way, you don't have to keep her on for my

sake, right?

Babe, can I be honest with you? Always.

She's a godsend. I mean, you were right. For me to grow my business, I needed a

second manager.

That's great.

I mean, Kelly's a really enthusiastic person, so I'm glad it's working out

well for you, babe.

Wait, hold up. Why do you seem so skeptical?

No, it's just that, you know, you two are so alike that I figured you'd be

bumping heads when I left. But it's good to know that I could leave you two alone

and not have to worry.

Whoa, leave? Babe, where are you going? You just got here.

No, not now.

Uh, but, you know, if I am traveling for business, I guess I should do that now

before... Before what?

Before the possibility of a family.

Oh, baby, you've been doing some thinking.

Uh, no, I just... You know, with the shape that my dad's in, I

figure it's kind of better to have kids sooner than later.

I want them to know their grandfather.

And I want my dad to know his grandkids.

It's okay, babe. It's okay.

It's just been a hard week, babe.

I know, but it's all better now, all right? I've got you, Trace.

I've got you.

Go ahead.

Answer it.

I'm here with you, Tracy.

Baby, I'm fine, okay?

Go back to work.

Go do that thing where you yell and boss everyone around.

This

is Jake.

Let's go outside. Let's do something.

I am doing something.

Something productive.

Something fun.

Okay, you go and I'll stay here.

Honey, I know you don't like listening to me, but you remember when you were a

little girl and I used to drive you around all your pageants? Yeah, when you

weren't drunk, I remember.

Darling, let me manage your career.

Now look, if your career were doing better, you might be happier.

And you just need someone who has your interests in mind.

Only your interests.

You manage me. Yeah, that's hilarious.

I'm going to go take a shower.

A manager.

I saw the photos of you and Eddie. Yum.

Oh, thank you, I think.

Is it true?

Are you dating Eddie Duran? And I have to know because I am absolutely dying

and jealous and want to be your best friend.

Thank you. I already have a best friend. Hi. And it's no big deal. Eddie and I

are friends.

Just friends. Yeah, for now.

We're just friends. There's nothing to gossip about. Stop it.

This is insane in the membrane.

You know, it's horrible.

Horrible? Yeah. This is a dream come true.

What? We're rock stars.

Well, you're the rock star. And I am officially a hanger-on.

You're like a monkey in a zoo.

Yeah, but you're the prettiest, most talented monkey in the whole zoo. Hi.

They're just talking to me because I'm around Eddie.

No, no, no, no, no. With.

Eddie wants you.

Even if he doesn't know it yet.

You're bad. I'm not bad. I'm good. I'm so good.

You're the worst. Hi, Kim.

I'm not dating Eddie.

Not that I would have to apologize if I was. I just, I'm not.

So will you take us to a party with Eddie?

Or just give us a call next time he comes to see you.

Never had a chance, did I?

Cam, you chased him away.

Nice going. What, was he just too good-looking for you?

She's got bigger fish to fry. And by fish, I mean hot men. And by fry, I mean

all kinds.

I cannot let Adriana say things like that on Challenge. Why not?

You really think you're going to change your opinion of me by yelling at her

across the courtyard?

No, but I do enjoy the yelling part.

Some people are just not going to like me no matter what I do.

It's the flip side to those girls liking me for no other reason other than I know

Eddie.

It doesn't matter. Just let it go.

There's a whole herd of Adrianas out there just waiting for me. I'm sorry,

did you say a herd of Adrianas?

Don't let them get to you, okay?

Your life is so much better than theirs, and they hate it.

Hate it!

Mel!

The way you said that sounds like you've been waiting here for me all day.

That's not true. Look, I've got homework and everything.

That is a ruse. You're not even in this class.

What, you think I just sit here and wait all day for you to show up?

You say it like it's a bad thing.

Well, good or bad, it isn't true. It's not what I do.

Of course not.

Anyway, what I wanted to tell you is I've been doing some digging and I have

a location for Beth post-rehab. Don't tell me.

Don't tell you? No, just... I know. I begged you to do it, and you did, and

I'm super appreciative.

But... But my mom had a meltdown when I told her I was looking for her sister.

Why?

I don't know.

Something about not wanting to relive the pain and anguish Beth caused and

something else. Blah, blah, blah. You know, listening is not my forte.

So you don't want to know anything about her because your mom might get angry?

As long as she's alive, I'm happy.

She's alive, I think.

Case closed.

Where is she?

I think... Don't tell me.

Is it close to here?

I shouldn't know. I don't want to know. It's not worth it. I should just let

this go.

I can see you've got your mind made up about this.

Things have been so much better between me and my mom lately.

I don't want to screw that up.

Okay.

You let me know when and what you want to know.

Thanks, Adam.

You're the bestest.

Someone to see you? Wait, someone?

Birthday boy!

How are you?

Good, man. So you get our gift?

I drove here, innit? You like? I love.

Listen, Lily's been calling all morning. She wants you to do an interview giving

your side of the story.

That lady has some nerve.

Yeah, I figured you didn't want to do it.

I don't. She's persistent as hell.

Mm-hmm. She's like ants, you know? She just keeps coming back.

Yeah. Listen, she keeps saying that Chloe's already agreed to do an

interview, man, so if you don't give one, it's just gonna be her giving her

side of the story.

Yeah, well, the funny thing is is that I can call Lily anytime, night or day,

while she's sleeping, and schedule an interview. So the fact that she thinks

she can goad me into one is... Very good point. Listen, one other thing I forgot

to ask. How is the new material coming?

Better. I feel like my head's finally clearing up a little bit.

Nice.

Yo-yo!

Hey.

Today's been such a weird day.

Tell me about it. I feel like Jessica Simpson's best friend. What's her name?

I have no idea what Jessica Simpson's best friend's name is. Really?

Yeah. I thought everybody knew. It's like Cece or something.

Anyways, I think I might be dating Adam. So yeah, it's been a weird day.

Really? Yeah. That's awesome.

You guys are so adorable together.

What do you mean by that?

Exactly what I just said. What I've been saying this whole time. Why has that got

you so worked up?

I don't know. I like him and all. I just... I'm not so sure that I'm a one

-man woman, Lauren.

Still holding out for Ryan Gosling, are we?

Where is he? Why does he never call?

I don't know.

She's so sad. It's in my heart.

Hey, Cam.

Yeah?

Can we talk?

I don't have a lot of time.

Oh, my God!

Do you see that?

It's for Lauren!

What?

Holy battleship!

I don't know, that can't be for me.

Eddie, send him to her if you want his birthday.

In some cultures, you ought to be married.

Oh, see you later. Yeah, okay. Good fun with that. Okay, bye.

What's with all the buzz?

Lauren Tate.

Gross. I know.

Do you want to go to the cafe?

I'm starvacious.

Yeah, I need to think.

I have to do something about this.

About what?

This whole thing, okay? You saw her right away like that.

It was like a total slap in my face.

I think these are the last of them.

Oh, hey, Eddie, what do you want us to do with the rest of these?

Give everything to charity. You know, and will you guys please write thank you

notes to whoever we can? Keep the fans happy.

Good looking and a good person, my hero.

All right, I got to head home to work on the new songs.

Work, Eddie, work.

Yes.

Oh, hey, Tracy.

Hey, Eddie Duran.

Looking good.

Hey. Hey.

What's wrong?

Up. I was going to say, what's up?

Nothing's wrong or up. I came to invite my best friend out to a late lunch.

Oh.

Why do you look so paranoid? I just wanted to invite you to eat some food.

Did you already eat or something?

Because I can't eat unless Jake lets me.

Go. Eat quick.

Okay. Thank you.

You have me all to yourself.

Hello, Miss Tate.

Hi, Jeffrey, right?

Thank you for remembering.

You can go right up.

Oh, thanks.

He's expecting you.

And Miss Tate is on her way up.

You know, you didn't have to send a car. No, I wanted you to feel special. Come

in. Thanks.

So, um, happy birthday.

Aw, you didn't have to do that.

Thank you.

I'm excited about this one.

It's a bread box, right?

You know, you don't have to, um, open that right now. You can do it later.

What? Come on.

It's half of the fun. You gotta be here while I open it. All right, I'm closing

my eyes.

I needed a new one.

I know. I saw you ripping out the pages of your last one, so I figured.

Thank you.

What's this?

Yeah, I just started writing down some of the lyrics that I tweeted you in the

past month, just in case you get stuck writing. You have a little kickstart

right there.

Love to love you.

Thank you, Lauren.

It's my favorite gift today, and the label bought me a car.

Excuse me.

Make yourself comfortable. Oh, okay.

Mr. Duran, sorry to interrupt, but this one's valuable.

I didn't want to leave it lying around.

It's from Miss Carter.

Thanks, Jeffrey. Yes.

It's from Chloe.

We're not really talking right now, so... She probably got it for you before

you broke up.

I doubt it.

She gives to get.

Were you going to open it? No, just go ahead.

No, I'm good.

No, come on. I'm curious now.

I'm glad you're curious.

It's a Rolex, and she still loves me.

Wow, Rolex.

That's nice.

Yeah.

It's not really my style.

It's expensive.

It's too expensive.

That's why I'll be returning it.

But I am here to work with you.

So I don't want to think about all that.

Hey, Jackie.

What can I do for you?

You left Chloe's without saying goodbye.

I didn't realize we had that type of relationship where I needed to say

goodbye every time I left.

I think we do.

You're one of the only two people I know in this whole town.

Seems like common courtesy to say, hey, Jackie, see you around.

I'll remember that for next time.

From what I heard, there's not going to be a next time. It sounded like you're

cutting all ties with Chloe.

Yeah, I am.

Well, why would you do that now when she really needs someone?

I'm concentrating on my career right now, okay? I got some heat going again,

and I gotta follow through with that.

I can't get wrapped up in Chloe's drama. It consumes everything.

I thought you loved her.

She doesn't act like she loves me.

And I'm tired of trying to make her happy. It's a waste.

Yeah, but you know deep down she loves you.

I don't know about that. I used to think so, but I held her all night.

Because she was so upset that Eddie didn't believe her.

And I finally thought it was sinking in, that it was over, and that I had to

comfort her.

But she didn't even care I was there.

No, she cared.

No, she didn't. I was up all night, and I watched her. And I just kept thinking

to myself, what am I doing?

This isn't good for me.

But a motorcycle, that's good for you.

I'm goal-oriented.

Okay, I want the motorcycle. And I know if I work hard and if I focus, once the

money starts rolling in, I can buy the bike.

So you're trading in my daughter for a bike?

A really nice bike.

Tyler! Well, I tried, Jackie. I tried. I told her I loved her. I played by her

rules. I tried everything.

She doesn't want me.

Well, Tyler, Chloe needs you.

I'm feeling you.

It can't be that bad.

It is.

I never see him anymore.

Well, I'm trying to lighten his load at work. Yeah, I'm sure you are.

What's that supposed to mean?

What do you mean, what does it mean? It means I'm sure you're trying to help.

Tracy, it sounded sarcastic.

What are we arguing about?

I don't know.

What are we arguing about? I don't know.

I don't know.

Maybe I'm jealous.

Well, there's nothing to be jealous about.

I mean, you spend so much time with him. Yeah, I know. That's true.

Have you noticed anything weird about Jake lately?

No.

Nothing. I mean, except that he's a madman and a workaholic.

No, I barely see him anymore.

Even when I do, he's not totally there.

I'm moving out.

Kelly, we love having you stay with us. Trace, you and Jake, you need more alone

time. I'm moving out.

What

do

you think?

I think it's your birthday and you're serenading me.

So you hate it?

No, I loved it.

Feels good.

You know, it feels like I'm hitting my groove lately.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. What's changed?

You know, I didn't expect the song to be so melancholy, I gotta say.

Neither did I. It just happened, you know?

I feel like there's a lot of sadness that needs to come out.

Well, it's cheaper than therapy.

Yeah.

It's not cheaper than this thing.

Yeah, well, each have your own ways of dealing with it.

You write songs, and she buys gifts that could feed a family for a year.

Lauren. Mm-hmm?

I don't think I'm crazy for saying this, but... What?

I do miss her.

I'm sure you're supposed to.

I mean, you were with her for over a year, and now she's gone.

You're gonna miss her.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Well, on that note, let me play you another song.

Okay.

No, that's a really nice start.

Thanks. Sorry.

You think I should give Chloe another chance?

I'm sorry. Never mind. I shouldn't have asked you.

I just... I don't know all the details of what happened.

You'd be the first.

And the only.

More presents?

Probably.

Hey! Happy birthday.

What a... How you doing?

Lauren. Hi.

Hey. I can go if you... Oh, no, absolutely not. I want you to stay.

So you can see when I got the birthday boy.

No way.

Um, Martin? Oh, my God, it's beautiful.

That's my baby.

Yeah.

Oh, my God, that sounds so amazing.

Thank you.

Hey, it's yours, you know?

You deserve it. Just love it as much as I do.

Do you want to hear my new song?

Yeah? It sounds great. You're going to love it.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Dr. Doom has not cracked the golden egg.

It's cold, Phil. Okay, I can't just say that my dad didn't mention the clinic

break-in.

I don't want anyone to hear me.

No. Okay, no one heard me.

I know what I'm doing, Phil, but I gotta go.

Bye.

Who's that?

Your boyfriend?

Yes, actually.

You guys hatching some more capers? Shh, okay, don't be so loud.

And no, we don't call them capers.

But you are up to something, aren't you?

Nothing that concerns you.

Oh, come on, Ade.

I can help.

I can do stuff.

Okay, like what? I've been friends with you for a long time, and I don't think

that you could do anything.

What?

I'm crazy talented.

Why? What do you need?

Okay, so maybe you can be of some help. Just let's go slow.

What do you mean?

Maybe you don't work with me and Phil right away on a job, which is what we

call them.

But I am planning something else.

What is it?

Wait, wait.

It's not something where, like, I have to be her servant, is it?

I'm not falling for that.

Again. Okay, no.

I'm thinking of something to blow Lauren Tate out of the water.

I don't know what that means.

I have a plan to break up Lauren and Eddie.

So you do think they're dating?

I thought you said that was just a lie.

Okay, well, I'm not totally convinced, but either way, she'll look terrible,

which is what she should look like to anyone with half of a brain.

What's the plan?

I don't know.

I'm still working on it. But when it's ready, I'll let you know.

Are you in?

Absolutely.

I mean, maybe.

What? I don't know.

I think that's one of the best songs you've ever written.

So is this going to be a new direction for you or just a one-time deal?

I'm not sure.

You know, it feels good.

It's kind of where I'm at right now. I like it.

Well, I think the fans are going to follow you no matter what.

Well, you know, I wouldn't say no matter what.

But it's definitely not just a nice song. It's a hit.

Yeah. OK, well, I'm going to leave you guys.

And I'm going to head out.

Or why don't you just come with us?

What? Yeah, I'm just going to take Eddie out for dinner.

No,

I don't want to impose.

And I don't want to be imposing and then not know that I'm imposing because

you're just too nice to tell me.

Lauren, Lauren, Lauren, I already told you I'm not that nice.

Trust me, I want you there.

And if he doesn't, I do.

So I supersede him.

Let's just go get some steaks.

No, I mean, thank you so much for the invite. But I feel like my mom probably

has dinner waiting at home for me.

In that case, there's only one thing we can do about that. One thing.

Mom's coming with us.

Yeah.

OK.

Red alert. Red alert. This is not a drill, people. What is happening?

Why are we suddenly on a submarine?

Because we just got invited to go out to dinner with rock and roll legends Eddie

and Max Duran.

What? Yeah. It's Eddie's 22nd birthday and his dad invited us to go to dinner

with them. Whoa. Why?

Because we're friends. Because we were hanging out. Yeah? Oh, yeah. Did you and

Eddie something happen between you two?

What do you mean?

Come on. You know. Have you guys hooked up?

Hooked? Up, have you been watching MTV again? I love that awkward show.

But seriously, did you?

No, we did not hook up. We were just hanging out together.

And besides, he doesn't think of me that way. I'm just his songwriting pal.

Oh. Oh, well, you know, that's... That's what, a relief? I didn't say that.

Besides, I think he might be getting back together with Chloe.

Oh, no.

So, if we're ever going to go out to dinner with them, it's got to be

tonight.

Sold Lauren, huh?

What's that about?

We're friends. I like working with her.

That it?

Dad, Chloe and I just broke up.

In other words, it's just a matter of time, then.

You could see something happening.

In other words, we're friends, and we need to go to dinner, so... She's a good

girl. I don't want you to lead her on if you're not interested, you know?

Who says she's interested?

Well, if you haven't seen the way she looks at you, then you haven't been

paying attention.

I just want to make sure she doesn't get hurt, you know?

Well, you and I both have that in common.

Okay.

Set up a meeting for me with Lauren.

Oh, you don't have to meet with her. You can just call her.

No, it should be done in person. That way I can give a real pep talk and let

her know how much I have your back and how much she should listen to you.

Thank you, Jake.

It's no big deal. You know, these speeches are sort of my specialty.

No, it's a huge deal for me. Thank you.

I'm sorry.

That was just like a good job, work buddy thing type of hug. Yeah. No, I

know what you mean. I hug Steven all the time. You do?

No, that'd be strange.

You think it was strange that I hug you?

No, maybe we should just ease up on the affection here at the office.

Does it make you nervous?

Man, not much makes me nervous, Kelly, but that does.

Okay.

You know, I told Tracy that I was looking for a place to live. I don't

think I should be living at your house anymore.

I can't even imagine how nervous that makes you.

Well, Kelly, you know I'm right about this.

Yeah, I know you are, but I don't have to like it.

You know, maybe I should just work from home today.

Hey. Hey, what are you doing here?

Uh, I finished work early.

Wow, that is an early bang for you.

Yeah. Lucky me.

So, do you wish you had hooked up with Eddie?

Mom, no.

Lauren.

There have been times where I thought that he was going to kiss me and it made

me really nervous.

But then he didn't. And a part of me was relieved, but a part of me was

also kind of disappointed.

I don't know what I'm saying.

I do.

But unfortunately, you don't know and you can't figure it out unless you go

through it.

I wish there was a book.

Well, maybe you have to write that book.

You want to know how I really feel about him?

Can you tell me?

I like him.

A lot.

I couldn't guess that.

No, it's not just having a crush on a singer like it used to be. I mean, it's

different.

He's that guy that we had fun playing foosball and just hanging out.

I mean, it's hard to think of him as the rock star anymore. He's a guy that I

like, a real boy.

See, but that's the problem, sweetie, because he isn't a boy.

He's a man.

And in a lot of ways, you are this amazing young woman, but then in some

ways, you're still just a girl.

And a girl can get really hurt in this situation.

I just want you to be careful.

I'm gonna go get dressed for dinner.

I'm telling you, Eddie's gonna destroy her.

I told you.

No, I'm not talking about your lying and shenanigans.

What I'm talking about is that she is so obsessed with him that nothing else

matters.

She's gonna lose work. She's gonna lose her mind. She's gonna lose everything.

Well, there's nothing I could do.

Well, you could pull her out of this. You could make her realize that this is

a fool's errand, that she will never, ever get Eddie back.

No, I'm done with this.

Oh, God.

She'll listen to you.

She hasn't yet. She's a mess, Jackie, and I don't need that in my life right

now.

How could you say that?

How do you think she got to be such a mess, huh?

I don't know. You tell me.

You're just as responsible as I am in this.

I've made some mistakes, but you told me that I need to change and that I need to

grow up. And I listened.

And part of growing up is staying away from Hurricane Chloe.

You need to go now, Jackie. I gotta prep for an audition.

I hate to do this, Tyler.

But you know what? I'm worried that Interstate, she could reveal a lot of

things. What do you mean?

Well, I know she's got a story about something that happened a couple years

ago.

About a car accident?

Seems to me the two of you could get into a lot of trouble if she lost her

senses and started talking about all that.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it, Jackie?

I don't know what that means. This is exactly how Chloe would play it. The

implied threat blackmail to get you to do something that you don't want to do.

Well, I'm here to help her, and I need you to help me do that, and you're not

leaving me a lot of options.

Yeah, well, I'm going to take my chances, Jackie.

Because I don't think she's going to reveal any deep, dark secret anytime

soon. And if she does, I'll deal with it then.

But right now, I'm sorry, you gotta go.

Tyler, what about the motorcycle?

What about it?

If you help clear Chloe's head, I'll buy it for you. Look, it's a pretty good

deal, Jackie, but I'm done with all this.

Tyler, she needs you.

Chloe will be fine, okay?

I'm sorry. Goodbye, Jackie.

If every day is just a dream, then who would I want to be?

Today I think I'll be the queen, flying through a time machine.

Oh, my, my, discover what's deep inside.

Oh, my, my,

loving everything I find.

If I woke up in a sky of blue.

Wondered what I ought to do. Every second there's something so brand new.

So happy I'm breaking through.

Oh my, my.

Discover what deep inside.

Oh my, my.

So wonderful be me.

La, la, la, la, la, la.

Oh my, my.
