What?

Oh,

you... You look great!

Mom, you have always been the one to tell me exactly what you think. Now is

not the time to change that. I don't want to be one of those mothers who's

always saying, you're not wearing that, are you?

But you're thinking it.

Okay. Okay, fine. I'm not comfortable with this.

What about this?

It's just... What?

Too racy?

No, not exactly.

Too taint? Definitely not that.

Too much makeup?

No. I mean, I think the makeup looks fine.

Well, then what is it? What about this bothers you?

It's just... Oh, it's just not you.

I want people to love you for you, the way I do.

I don't want them falling for some made-up, leather-and-lace, high-heeled

-wearing version of you.

Well, I like the way I look and feel in this.

Well, good.

Good. I'm happy you're happy. I mean, you asked my opinion, and I gave it.

I mean, is that a dog collar? Is that necessary?

So, what do you think about changing in this at some point?

Oh, Mom.

I mean, you're not wearing that, are you?

There, I said it.

You know what, Connie?

I think I'm going to read the script right here.

Osborne says it's amazing, and I can't wait to find out what happens.

Please, Tyler, you're on the verge of something good here. Don't mess it up.

Go home.

I'd much rather hang out here with you.

If you blow this deal for Osborne, I guarantee you he'll make sure your

career in this town is kaput. It couldn't be any worse off than I already

have been.

There's only one way out from the floor.

So, what did you think of the script?

It's better than I expected.

All right. Well, I love it when they love the script.

I didn't say I loved it.

That's what rewrites are for. We can change anything you need within reason.

All right, so you'll do it?

I didn't say that.

Listen, Oz, I'm really just here as a favor for Chloe.

Even if I end up saying no, I want you to promise that you'll still keep her in

mind. Chloe's always on my mind.

Well, then maybe I didn't need to make this trip.

Listen, I don't think you came out here just to help your ex-girlfriend. You're

a busy man.

I think you're here because you're interested.

I like the script.

I like the role.

So why the hesitation?

Look, it's a huge chunk of time to make a movie.

I don't think I can pull away my focus from my music.

You're working on a new album? Yes.

Great. Okay, we'll do it after you're done writing the album. I'll pay for the

album if you want. I've been waiting years to make this movie. I can wait a

couple more months. When the album's done, I got a tour.

We'll work around your schedule. I'll be flying around the world.

Well, there's a studio in every major city, okay? How do you think Orson

Welles made Othello? This is crazy.

Am I the only guy you see for this role?

Yes.

Absolutely the hands-down only guy I want for this role. So what do I have to

do to make you say yes? I don't think there's anything you can say that you

haven't already said.

All right.

How about this?

I guarantee Chloe the role of Sandy if you do this movie.

And if I don't?

Then unfortunately I can't promise anything, okay? This is the offer.

You want to help her out, this is how you do it.

You do the movie, she's in. You don't, she's out.

I think I look great.

So do I.

This has nothing to do with how beautiful you look.

It's just a new style for you.

Yeah, it's... Maybe you're not comfortable with it. No, Mom, it's a new

look, so just let me wear what I'm going to wear.

Okay.

I just want to be sure that this change of clothes doesn't mean you're changing

who you are.

That's all.

Woo-hoo!

Look who it is, the star of the show!

Okay, how's your dad?

Yeah, he's doing a lot better. Just trying to keep my spirits up for him.

But he's doing better. That's great.

They said he'll be out tonight or tomorrow.

Oh, poor guy.

Do they have any leads about who did it?

No, you didn't have to come all the way out here for me.

Are you kidding?

I would not miss the rise of Lauren Tate.

Besides, I think my dad just kind of needed a break from us.

Adam and I were reenacting scenes for Reservoir Dogs for him. He was

unimpressed. I wouldn't say that.

He fell asleep.

Pretending. That's even worse.

You look redonkulous, by the way.

Okay, I'm outnumbered. You are redonkulous.

It means ridiculously hot. Thank you, Adam.

So can I shoot this thing or what?

No, it's just a photo shoot.

I'm sorry, just a photo shoot?

Look, it's all fancy now. No, that's not what I meant. I just meant there's not

going to be a lot of action.

That's what you think. By the time I shoot this and cut it together, it's

going to look like the next Batman movie.

Okay, you can shoot whatever you want, but just try not to disrupt anything or

anybody. What?

I'm sorry, who do you think you're talking to? I'm like a fly on the wall.

Out of equipment.

Okay.

Gang, Lauren, we're ready for you.

Okay.

I'm not going to change, okay? I promise.

Hey, Connie, have you read this?

Probably. Which one is it?

Zoloft and the Ginger Man.

Oh, that one.

What? Everyone but Oz hates that script.

Well, I can see why. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

He thinks it's going to be the next big hangover, but every actor he gives it to

never calls him back.

It's probably why he gave it to you. Or because I'm the one actor who will.

Even if you don't like it?

I can't afford not to like it.

It kind of sucks that you're making this an ultimatum, because Chloe bent over

backwards to get me in this room, and this was all for you.

I don't even want to do the movie with her. Eddie! It's true.

Okay, I thought I could come down here and maybe wrangle some sort of deal for

you on something that wasn't Greece.

Just to get you off my back and get you to leave me alone.

I had no idea.

How delusional can you be?

You're not going to get me to forgive you. You're not going to win me back.

And I damn sure do not want to spend six months of my life making a movie with

you or have to pretend we're falling in love. Man, I wish I was filming this. I

just, I thought when you said yes to this meeting that... That what, I was

going to change my mind about you?

I just suddenly forget how bad you hurt me. Yeah, can we just get back on the

grease track?

Look, I'm sorry, Oz, but I shouldn't have even answered my phone. But you

did, and you're here, okay? This has nothing to do with Chloe.

Wait, I'm the one that brought you to him. I know, and don't think I'm not

appreciative, but he's the one I have to deliver, not you. The money men will

give me $100 million as soon as his signature dries.

What about me?

Chloe, you know I'm crazy about you, and I want to give you a movie, I swear.

Just not this one, not Grease. All right, I'm out of here. Wait, wait,

wait! What do I have to do to make you say yes?

Ten million dollars?

Done. Producer credit? Done.

You want to name your leading lady?

Done.

Anyone I want? Just give me your name and agent.

Eddie, no.

Her name's Lauren Tate.

Can she act and sing? She can do anything she puts her mind to. She's

fantastic. Tim and Eddie, no, please don't.

Lauren plays Sandy.

And you make a deal with Chloe for another movie.

That way she stays out of my life for good.

You do that and I'm in.

Hey, I got it.

Yes, because I'm a super spy like James Bond.

Get it? You know, because the guy, James Bond.

Wait, he's a spy, right?

Good.

Right down the bell. Right here. Right in the lens. Confident.

Come on, give me those mean eyes. Good.

Are you okay?

Oh, is it really bad?

I'm sorry, I'm not used to modeling. I don't know how to do this. No, no, it's

not bad at all. Really, it is. I just need more attitude.

You feel me?

Attitude. Attitude.

Pretend the camera's Adriana.

Or Chloe.

Or maybe, you know, a change of clothes.

Mom. Let's just try this again. We're good.

All right? All right, attitude. Here we go.

Attitude.

There we go.

Determination.

Ready for high school.

That's what I'm talking about

She's a natural.

Yeah, so it scares me.

Don't you want this for her?

I want her to be happy, you know. If this makes her happy, I want it.

Why do you look like you've been spooked?

Eddie was a performer when he was little, right?

Oh, yeah, always, always.

Okay, Lauren wasn't. So this is very new territory for me.

It's amazing that she's putting this new side of her personality on display,

but... I know, I know. It's scary.

It's scary, you know. Yes, you love them so much, but I remember when Eddie, the

first time he went on stage, I was like a nervous wreck. What? Oh, totally.

You're so like Jag. I know. Well, back then I was a nervous wreck. Now I'm

cool, calm, and collected.

You know, you want them to succeed so much.

But if you give them space, they'll get there.

I know.

I know that's what Lauren wants from me. She wants some space.

Then give it to her.

She's got a good head on her shoulders, right?

I've been in this business long enough, and I've seen people come and go, and

the people with common sense.

You'd be surprised how far that gets you. No, I get it.

I get it.

And, I mean, deep down, I know everything's going to be okay. It's just

the getting there.

That makes me a nervous wreck. Look, it doesn't matter what she's wearing or how

long she takes to get there.

She'll be fine.

And you know what? She's got Eddie.

So he'll take care of her. I'm very grateful for that. And she's got Max

Duran in her corner, too. So we're not going to let anything happen to your

little girl.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You made me the happiest man on the lot, or at least in the building.

And this woman that you seem to hate so much, We'll be eternally grateful.

Ah, the ways of the world.

I'm serious, Chloe.

All right, we're done.

I'll live my life, you live yours.

Thank you. I'll have Connor send you a deal memo, okay? Great.

I'm holding you to that 10 mil.

I'm worth every penny.

We wouldn't be having this conversation if I didn't totally agree.

Mr. Osborne Silver?

Who's asking?

I'm George Guzman, United States Security and Exchange Commission.

I tried to stop them, Mr. Silver. I appreciate it.

Mr. Silver, you're under arrest under Section 16B of the Securities Exchange

Act for illegal insider trading.

Ridiculous. I've never done anything illegal in my life. Please.

Hey, will you get my lawyer on the phone right now? Warren is already on his way.

Mr. Silver, you have the right to remain silent.

Well, I'm not going to remain silent in the face of this gross injustice.

You're not going to take me down. I'm not your fault, guy. I'm no Bud Fox.

It was from Wall Street, 1987.

The original. Made 43 million in the box office. Back then, too. Not too shabby.

Is this a joke?

It's gonna be no joke when my lawyer gets a hold of these guys.

Nothing like a Hollywood lawyer to make hell!

Hey, don't worry. This is just a hiccup. I'll be back in time for cocktails.

Don't count on it.

You're still here? I was reading the script.

What'd you think? I liked it. It's weird.

See? First one.

All right. We'll talk soon.

Is this serious?

Eh.

Don't worry about it. I gotta go. We'll see you. Come on, Connor.

I'm coming, sir.

I'm coming, sir. Well, I guess that's the end of that.

He said not to worry.

No, I wouldn't believe him, Chloe.

All right, now look, I tried.

But I guess that's the way it works out.

So what now?

This isn't happening.

We just can't catch a break, can we?

You are so good. You're doing great.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel more comfortable now. At first I thought

there was no way, but now I... You're really a natural, honestly.

Yeah? Yeah, and you see, your mom wouldn't just make something up to make

you feel better.

No, she wouldn't.

Okay, well, she's not doing it this time.

You're a natural. You're doing something right.

Lauren, I need to speak to you.

Oh, yeah, can you give me a second?

No, this is an emergency that needs to be addressed now.

Oh, okay.

So, what do you think?

Um, you know, you're her manager, Mr. Mom.

So is that a yes?

It's a yes.

I'm going to stay out of what she wears and what she looks like from now on.

She's old enough.

Everything's dead.

The movie is dead.

My career is dead. My relationship is definitely dead.

Everything that I have worked so hard for is just... It's gone.

You think it's something, honey? You always do.

You don't get it.

I was this...

Close.

This close to living the good life.

No, I just... I can't catch a break.

What happened in the meeting?

Did Eddie do something?

Eddie, he tried to help me. He's the only person on this planet that actually

cares what happens to me.

I mean, everything was going fine, and then the universe just couldn't let me

have it.

It had to punish me.

That's ridiculous.

Is it?

Have you seen one thing of good luck happen to me since you've been here?

We make our own good luck, honey.

Come on.

You don't believe that.

Mrs.

Rabbit's foot salts over the shoulder.

I know, but I heard someone on TV say it once. Someone successful.

It's you.

You jinxed me.

I'm helping you.

I'm doing the best I can.

You should have seen me with Lily. I handled all of her... I'm sorry.

Lily was here?

What did you say to her?

Nothing. Nothing important. I kept my mouth shut.

You gave Lily all of my secrets, didn't you?

Secrets?

I didn't tell anyone anything.

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

I don't believe you.

Get out.

I said get out.

Okay, go back to Fresno and leave me alone forever.

You don't mean that.

Yeah, I do. Go.

You know what?

Fine.

I am sick and tired of listening to you anyway.

All you ever do is attack everyone who cares about you. Me, Tyler,

Eddie. Be careful what you say, because this could be our last conversation.

You know, all I've ever done is try to connect with you.

But if you are intent on being your own worst enemy, so be it. Great talk, Mom.

How can you be so flip?

You killed somebody.

And to make it worse, you decided to go after her son.

And somehow you think you're the victim in all of this.

Do not bother calling me.

Mom, just wait.

It's not that simple.

Oh, my God.

Hey. What?

I'm right here.

And you are just as cute as any rock star.

How's everything going here?

So good.

Yeah? I told you modeling is easy.

I know. I guess watching those four cycles of the Tyra Banks barking

instructions really paid off.

Yeah? I want to see the pictures.

Okay, yeah, but how did your meeting go with the Grease guys?

It was weird.

I met with the producers. We talked about the script.

Oh, and I put you up for the role of Sandy.

What? I can't do that. Ah, stop. Of course you can.

Come on, but don't worry about it, because the head of the studio got

arrested, and yeah, anyway.

Hold on.

Arrested in the meeting?

Mm-hmm.

Yep, the feds came in and everything. It was crazy.

Are you okay?

Yeah, no, I'm great.

Anyways, I want to talk about you and this outfit.

Yeah, do you approve?

Um, well, I just bought...

every copy of your new album with my mind.

I'll show you the pictures.

No.

Okay, here.

Well, those are gorgeous.

You sound a little hesitant.

I mean, no, it's just... This is a whole new image for you.

Yeah, Kelly said she thought I should really push the envelope.

You agree with that?

I trust her.

Okay. If you're happy, I mean, you look beautiful, so I'm happy.

I just want to make sure that you stay that natural, down-to-earth Lauren.

You know, the one I fell for.

You sound like my mom.

Oh, boy.

Well, you know, if I had a nickel for every time I heard a girl say that I

sounded like their mother, I'd... You would have five cents? Mm-hmm.

Yep, that was a first.

Hey, what's it say here about Osborne Silver getting arrested?

Uh, hey, Kel. Hi.

I met with him, you know, we went over the script, he offered me the lead, and

he got arrested.

And why was Chloe there?

Chloe?

You didn't mention anything about Chloe.

That's because it wasn't worth mentioning.

I came over here to tell you that I think this is all cosmic punishment.

Jackie seems to think that this is all my fault.

She's got a point.

Jackie left, so you can go with her if you want.

Where'd she go?

I don't know. Somewhere, but she has to come back. All her stuff's still here.

So, uh... You want to get naked?

Leave me alone.

I will, actually.

Oh, I've heard that before.

Okay, you know what? I might not be the most loving or caring person, but I'm

better than you.

And I've got one thing that you never will.

What's that?

The ability to be happy.

Happy? Yeah, happy that Eddie Duran is going to be this big megastar and you

can't even get a second-rate agent.

One more thing, Chloe.

Watch your back.

That's great news, Mom.

Yeah, just tell Dad I love him, okay?

Okay, yeah. Bye.

That sounded good. Does he want us to reenact more scenes from Tarantino

films? My mom didn't say anything about that, but I'm gonna go with yes.

He's doing great.

And of course, my dad is such a nice guy, he's barely even blaming Phil.

I can't believe your brother was involved with people like that.

I can.

He's the most selfish person I've ever met.

I mean, he could have put us all in danger with his...

Those are crimes, not shenanigans.

What's the difference?

Five to ten years.

I want to let you know that I set that up for you intentionally because we're a

team.

To answer your actual question, a shenanigan is more like throwing a

firecracker down a toilet.

Why do you even do that?

I don't know. That's the thing with those shenaniganians. You never know

what they're going to do.

That's stupid.

Thanks.

Thanks for helping me take my mind off my insane family.

Really thought going to see your Aunt Beth would help your family out.

Yeah, and I think it just made it murkier.

She did give some answers, though.

Yeah, she did, but, I mean, obviously something horrible happened between my

mom and my aunt.

But I can't talk to my mom openly about it because she's... Lisa.

Yeah, you get it.

Now I'm more confused than ever.

If I could just have had more time with Beth, I could have gotten all my

questions out.

I don't know. She was clamming up.

She seems as afraid of your mom as you are.

Yeah.

I just, I know there's more information out there, you know?

I know it.

You want me to get back online?

No, that's not really the kind of information I'm looking for.

It's more personal than that.

What are you going to do?

How's your dinner?

Your food.

Oh.

I'm not really hungry.

What's going on?

Nothing.

No?

You're not upset that Chloe was in the meeting?

I'm just upset that you didn't tell me about it.

It's not a big deal.

Don't you have a couple of exes that are running around your school? Are you

going to let me know every time you run into them?

If I had a fiance that I had just broken up with recently and I arranged a big

business meeting with them, I think I'd tell you about it. Okay.

You're right. I should have said something, but she just means so little

to me. I didn't even think about it.

Well, can she mean so little to you miles away from you and not in the same

room?

I didn't pay you as a jealous type.

I am not jealous, okay?

All right.

Maybe a little in this instance, but I'm more worried You have nothing to be

worried about.

Okay. I look at her and all I see is a mistake I'm worried because she's tricky

and you never know what she's up to. I just don't trust her That's smart

You shouldn't trust her

This is getting ridiculous.

Oh, hey.

Hi. Should I have called first?

No, I told you not to leave a phone trail, so this is excellent. You're a

great student. I like that.

I'm not. I'm just sneaky.

I like that more.

Can I come in?

Yeah. Can I get you something to drink?

Good, because I don't have anything. My mom drank the last soda.

So, you wanted something on Lauren Tate, and I have something.

Dish. It doesn't come free.

Ooh, sneaky and ambitious. Two of my favorite qualities in me.

I don't like it so much in other people, but what do you want?

I want a meeting with those star makers you promised.

Done. I'll get you a meeting with my modeling agent.

Now, tell me the gossip.

Can I see you make the phone call first?

You don't trust me?

Don't take it personally. I'd make my own father prove it if he was in the

same sitch.

They denied the loan.

Why?

I don't know. I don't know. I guess I don't have enough assets or earning

potential. What about trying another bank?

There's gotta be a way around this.

I mean, I could look into it, but I don't think it'll make much of a

difference from my experience.

This is too good an opportunity for you to miss. I mean, you gotta think of

other ways.

Other ways?

You could use that money you set aside for Lauren.

Her college fund?

Well, you say to yourself, she's not going to college. She's got a career

now. She'll be making her own money and lots of... This is the best thing you

can do for yourself.

I'm not sure what to say right now. You don't?

So, counting on that money.

Yeah, well, so was my daughter.

Are you in some kind of situation that you want to tell me about?

No, no, no.

Why would you ask me that?

Don't worry.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

Let me take you to dinner. We'll figure this out.

Or... We'll just have fun.

You know what? I should... I should get home.

Hey, let's get out of here.

Back to the hospital?

Yeah, but actually I'm going to stop by my house first.

I should probably get home soon.

Yeah, you actually probably should.

You put in a good day's work, Adam.

Gold star.

Thank you.

Glad I could be around.

I don't know if I helped, but I tried.

You helped more than you can possibly imagine.

Can I just say one thing before you go one way and I go another?

Yeah.

If you're really feeling that disconnected from your life, why don't

you just try talking to Lisa? I mean, she is your mom. She has to give you

some answers.

I'm gonna do that.

After I do some more investigating.

Investigating? Well, I mean, she was hiding that box of pictures from me.

Obviously there's something in there she doesn't want me to see. What is it?

You know, what I was suggesting was talking to your mom and getting

everything out in the open. What you're going to do is the exact opposite.

Yes, but that doesn't mean I don't value your input.

Is this a bad time?

I come bearing scarves.

Well, actually, one scarf. You left it at the closet.

It's not yours?

No, it's mine. Thank you.

What's going on?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm sorry. It's just everything.

It's just, it's Lauren, and it's work, and I just feel really confused right

now. Come here.

Well, I'm here now if you want to talk about it, okay?

Can we just forget about Chloe for the moment and enjoy ourselves?

You're right. I'm sorry.

Did I ruin dinner?

No way. This food cannot be ruined.

I wasn't talking about the food. I know.

Look, we just have so much to look forward to with the show tomorrow.

That's all I want to think about.

You thinking about it?

I'm trying not to.

No, I'll be scared.

Only when I think about it. Yeah?

Yeah.

Can I tell you something?

Uh-huh.

I'm a little nervous about tomorrow.

You? Yeah.

Nervous? It's just, you know, the new songs, new vibe. I just want to be able

to grow as an artist without people panicking.

Well, who's going to panic? Jake, the label, my fans.

No one's gonna panic, okay? I heard that new song. It's great.

It's different.

At least that's what I've been hearing.

Okay, well, as long as it's honest and real, the fans are gonna love it.

And if the fans love it, then Jake and the label are gonna love it, too. Mm

-hmm. That would solve the problem? Mm-hmm.

See? You make it sound so easy when you put it that way.

That's what I do. I solve problems.

Yeah? I'm good at it.

Other people's problems, not mine.

Oh. Mine, not so much. What kind of problems does Lauren Tate have? Let me

help.

Well, there's this guy that I'm crazy about who keeps running into his ex

-fiancé. I stepped right into that one, didn't I? Uh-huh.

That's not a problem at all, okay?

So, what else you got?

I'm incredibly nervous because I'm opening for a superstar tomorrow. You're

going to be great. Next.

Okay.

My mom, she's been getting all uptight about the choices I've been making

lately, and she's never been like that.

Well, you know, I'll cut her some slack.

This is all new to her, too. I mean, my dad grew up in the business, and he

freaked out the first time I put on leather pants.

Well, that's understandable. I don't know if even you could pull off leather

pants. That turned into the problem.

One night, I swear, they melted my legs, and I had to have one guy on each leg

pulling them off after a concert.

You see?

Even your problems are easily solved.

See, we're just two people with no problem.

Hey,

you see Max Ron?

No, you know, he usually shows just before opening.

Hey.

Hey, how'd Lauren's shoot go?

Really well.

But I know that you didn't come all the way down here to ask me that.

Yeah, I came here to see Max.

I was going to ask about logistics about Eddie's set.

He was just here, but I don't know where he went.

Are you worried about Eddie's show?

Yeah, a little bit, actually, which is a first for me.

He'll be fine. He's a performer.

Well, there's no sure thing in this biz, you know, just because he's had success.

It doesn't mean that he can rest.

I know.

There's a whole lot more riding on this than there ought to be.

Don't I know it.

Wait, are you stealing my don't I know it?

What? That's what I say, don't I know it. I always say that.

Do you have it trademarked?

No, but it's my thing.

Get your own thing.

I'm just saying that I know how important this show is because I have so

much riding on it for Lauren.

You're damn right you do.

Yeah, I like the way you're pushing her, Kel. That's what it takes.

Thank you.

I'm crying.

He's coming over here.

Yeah, hopefully on his way out the back door.

No, like he's coming to our table.

Okay, look, knowing Tyler, he's probably going to say something to get under your

skin. Do not let him. What would he say?

Now, this is so adorable.

Oh, no, we're not going to all have drinks? No, we're not.

Don't worry, I'm not going to sleep with this girlfriend, too.

She's not my type.

She's a little... She's a little bland.

Oh, just my luck, because you're my type.

I'm so into arrogant jerks. Yeah, you should probably just ignore them, just

like the rest of the entertainment business does.

Let's just go.

No, no, no. We'll take our time.

We're not going to rush out of here because some idiot walked into the bar.

Yeah, this is the kind of mixing it up I like. We should do this more often.

It's crazy what happened to Osborne Silver, huh?

I don't know if you know about this, but...

Eddie and Chloe went to meet with this big movie producer because they were

going to do this picture together.

Something kind of sexual.

I don't know. And I was there too because I'm also a sought-after actor.

And then this producer gets arrested.

No, I knew about that.

That's great because honesty is a really, really important part of a

relationship.

That's what broke you and Chloe up, right?

It's a shame because you guys seem so perfect together.

Tyler, just leave.

Excuse me. I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

I'll be back.

He's probably going to look for a mirror. I think his hair was a little

messed up.

Or maybe he's going to abandon you. I mean, it was only a matter of time.

And he would never do that.

Maybe he's going to go call his manager.

Jake, Jake.

Tyler's being so mean to me.

Why are you like this?

Did someone really hurt you as a kid?

No, but thank you for asking.

Most people think I was born like this, but it actually takes a lot of work.

That's not good.

Excuse me, sir.

Uh, yeah? Can I help you? I'm going to need you to leave.

You know, I was just meeting my friend for a drink. Well, you'll have to have

those drinks elsewhere.

But, uh... Sir, trust me, you don't want our bouncer involved.

Okay, whatever.

I was over this place anyways.

It's good to be famous, isn't it?

You do whatever you want.

Have fun while it lasts, kiddo.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I definitely don't have time for dinner.

Oh, I might be pulling my first all-nighter since college.

I'm glad you're getting work, but I'm a little bummed about dinner.

Yeah, me too.

Where are you, anyway?

I'm at MK.

They're already open?

Uh, no, it's just me and Kelly.

Oh, just the two of you? Yes, we do work together, remember?

Not that we're moving passes.

Yeah, we are.

Everything's fine.

I gotta go.

I love you. Bye.

Bye.

So, no dinner with Tracy?

No, she swapped.

And she hates me.

No.

Yeah, she does.

I'm losing my best friend. Can we just at least go grab a bite and just talk

about this?

I'm just going to grab a sandwich and take it back to the office.

You're never going to leave that kiss down, are you?

Probably not for a while.

This is the worst. Maybe I should just quit. It'll make it easier for both of

us.

Well, that's up to you.

Wait, so you really got me that meeting?

Yeah. Next week, you're my modeling agent.

But that's crazy.

Just based on my Instagram photos?

And my recommendation.

I never thought that I was pretty enough to be a model. Ugh, false modesty.

Really? That doesn't work around here, kid. You're hot and you know it.

Don't make me tell you again.

Sorry. Yeah, that sounded weird even coming out of my mouth.

Yeah. So, um, tell me. Tell me what you got on Lauren's hate.

Um, yeah, just first let me know what you're going to do with the 411.

Don't worry about it.

Uh, no, I need to know where else the deal's off.

That's not how the deal works.

And it's nothing for you to worry about.

Look, I hate Lauren Tate, but I'm trying to be a better person, so I really need

to know what you're going to do with the info.

You and I, we should be friends.

We could do a lot of damage together.

Look, I just told you I'm trying to be a better person.

Newsflash, no one cares.

Nice guys finish last.

Yeah, well, what about Eddie?

He's a nice guy.

Hi, Eddie.

I'm your biggest fan.

Can I take a picture of you? Yeah, of course. No problem.

You're Lauren Tate.

Yeah, I love your song.

Really? Thank you. That's so nice of you.

You should be in this picture. Come on, get over here.

Come here. I know the picture you really want. Come on.

You sit there.

Smile.

Oh, it's really cute.

Here.

That was incredibly sweet of you.

I used to know a girl like her once.

Do you want a drink?

No, I think I'll pass. I've been hitting it kind of heavy these days. Yeah, well,

I could use one.

Don't let me stop you.

Actually, it's kind of nice just to be sitting here with you right now.

It is, isn't it? Yeah.

You do realize I didn't have to come to bring you the scarf, right? Yeah, I

realize that now.

Because you could have given it to me when I saw you earlier today.

That's right.

So you're going to tell me what's really going on?

Didn't I already do that?

Yeah, what I really want is just to forget about everything for an evening.

Well, I may just have the perfect solution for that, if you're up for it.

So you've been keeping secrets You've been telling lies It makes

sense now to me How you live your life Held so

many till my heart nearly burst I gave up secrets

for what it's worth

the word of what you found

gonna want to keep

the walls from falling down till you hit the

ground with all those secrets
