Oh, damn it. Where are all the spoons?!

Ugh. [Sighs]

Sorry, Brick. This will have to do.

Hey, if you get a chance,

bring some spoons home from the cafeteria.

It's not stealing 'cause we pay taxes.

Okay, I looked everywhere,
and I can't find any towels.

Okay, this is driving me crazy.

I mean, this morning when
I got out of the shower,

I had to dry off with a bath mat.

Nothing is where it's supposed to be.

Is this dementia? Is it finally here?

Where the hell's everything going?

[Axl whistles]

[Utensils clatter]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. What are you doing?

Unlike you, the government
doesn't just give me stuff.

The government doesn't give us stuff.

If it did, we'd have better stuff.

[Sniffs] Oh! Pbht!

If you people would stop
thinking only about yourselves,

you'd remember, hutch and
I are in our own house now.

And by the way, when they
say a place is unfurnished,

they don't give you anything.

No silverware, no furniture,
no accent pillows, nothing.

Ooh. Eh. I doubt we'll make soup.

Axl, you can't just come in here
and start stealing our stuff.

Uh, last time I checked, there
was five of us in this family,

so, legally, I own 30% of everything.

It's my house, and you're
not taking any of it.

- Put it back.
- [Groans]

You know when you die,
it's all mine anyway, right?

I'm the male heir.

It's just sad you won't
let me have this stuff now

so you can watch me enjoy it.

- Guess what.
- Nobody likes you?

- Can't ruin my day, Axl.
- Ooh, a challenge.

Anyway, thank God I took
the A.C.T.s a second time

because I just heard from Ms. Marsh,

the Guidance Counselor,

that my scores went through the roof!

She actually used the
phrase "through the roof"!

- Oh, way to go, Sue.
- Oh, that's great.

Snore.

Sue: You know what this means, right?

This opens up a whole
new list of possibilities

of where I can go to college.

[Gasps] We're talking Denison,
Michigan, Wheaton, Oberlin.

Yep, my future is wide-open.

[Shrieks shrilly]

- [Groans]
- [Sighs]

- We're screwed.
- We are so screwed.

How are we gonna afford
to send her to college?!

Who told her to take
the A.C.T. a second time?

[Sighs] Was that your idea?

You take your low score,
a-and you live with it.

That's what we did, and we turned out okay.

You know, this is really our fault.

Always encouraging her,
telling her she can do anything.

We just got to be honest with her, Frankie.

She's talking about all these private

and out-of-state schools.

She's go to know that's
probably not going to happen.

Well, we don't know.

[Scoffs] Pretty sure we do.

Well, we don't. I mean, who knows?

Maybe there'll be one of those billionaires

that comes into the class

and offers to pay everyone's college.

Are you drunk?

I might have had a beer.

[Scoffs]

Come on, Mike.

You saw how excited she was...

that little sparkle of hope in her eyes.

Oh. We used to have that.

Hmm. Promise me...

please promise me you won't say anything.

We're not dashing her dreams right now.

Right now we are gonna do
everything we can possibly do

to get her into college.

And we can keep dream dashing in our pocket

as a solid plan "B".

I guess I can always try
to pick up some extra work

at Little Betty.

Yeah, no, I'll find something, too.

It's not all bad

'cause when you come home,
you'll smell like cake.

[Chuckles lightly]

[Sighs]

A shower chair!

Dude, this is so cool.

We've been standing up
like idiots for years.

Definitely take.

Ho-ho! Whoa!

Check out this fondue set.

We can have fondue night.

I thought mom said you couldn't
take any more of our stuff.

Mom said I could take
anything I want down here...

including you, if I
wanted to, which I don't.

But I still could, so
I'm like a God right now,

determining your fate,

so I would choose my next words carefully.

[Claps] Whoo! [Grunts]

Oh.

Hey, is that...

It is!

My old "Farmer Says" toy.

[Cord cranks]

Automated voice: This is a pig. Oink, oink.

Oh, wow. It's my old math buddy.

Mom said I left you out in the rain.

8 times 8 is...

- 72!
- 64.

Oh, no wonder it's down here. It's broken.

[Sighs]

Hello, mother.

Look what I found in the basement.

Remember this?

[Siren wailing]

[Chuckles nervously]

You said these disappeared.

Well, they did...

Frankie: With a little help from me.

Automated voice: "A." "A." "A."

Nothing but net. Nothing but net.

Hey, you know what's fun? Reading.

I can't believe you did this.

I could have been a
professional basketball man.

You're always on me 'cause
my nose is buried in a book,

but turns out, it's all your fault.

All because you didn't want
your son to play with his toys.

Sad.

Look, you played with plenty of toys.

Those were just the loud,
annoying, obnoxious ones

I couldn't stand to hear
anymore after the first 500

beep-beeps, ding-dings,
and woo-woo-woos.

Well, seeing how these were ripped from me

at such a young age,

I'm now going to make up
for a lot of lost time.

Come on, old friends.

[Siren wails] Konnichiwa.

Ah, crap, he found the noisy toys.

Mm-hmm. Hola.

Guess what!

Sue, we do a lot of guessing in this house.

Why don't you just tell us?

I was chosen to write the senior play!

- Ha ha!
- Oh.

Well, actually, Brad was chosen,

and then he tapped me,
but it's a huge deal.

I mean, like, parents come,

it's at nighttime, there's beverages.

- Sue, that's great.
- Your mom will go.

And Brad and I decided
we do not just want to do

the usual follies, you know,

like where football
players dress up like girls

and everyone loves it.

No, no, no, no, no.

We want to tackle the real
issues teens are dealing with,

the ones that are living in the shadows,

like, uh, low self-esteem or bulimia.

I don't know. We're still working it out.

But with my new A.C.T. scores

and this groundbreaking
play on my r?sum?,

there is no limit to
where I can go to college.

Maybe even international.

Like [British accent] Oxford

or [French accent] The Sorbonne.

[Chuckles]

[Giggles]

Frankie: So my back was against
the wall, and I was desperate.

I could only see one way out.

So that's one seat,
economy class, to Bermuda.

And that's a one-way ticket.

No, I'm not fleeing my family.

Not yet.

Well, that was my pleasure,

and thank you for flying
Econo Blue Airlines.

[Scoffs]

I am telling you, Mike...

this job is even better than I thought.

I just let them know my schedule,

and they send calls to me... it's perfect.

I can do it in my P.J.s.

I can make dinner if while I work,

I can even do this job in bed if I want to,

and let's face it...

It's the only way I'm
gonna make money in bed.

[Telephone rings]

Thank you for calling
Econo Blue Airlines,

where we put the customer first.

Please hold.

I know we had sprinkles.

Well [Sighs] I'm heading
off to my other job.

And I will be here working at my other job.

You know, I am proud of us, Mike.

We're getting out in front of it.

We're embracing the possible,

and good things are gonna come of it.

[Clicks tongue]

Yep, we've finally achieved our dream

of working around the clock.

Brad: [Grunts]

[Grunts] The other...

oh, okay. Ah!

Mr. Heck, thanks for letting
us work on the play here.

Plenty of room in the basement.

Oh, dad, wait, before you
go, watch this one part.

Sue, I got to get to work. Oh, no, no, no.

But last time, you said you
were just coming home from work.

It's a pretty small window.

Oh, please, please, please.

It'll just take one second!

[High-pitched] Please!

[Laughs]

Okay.

Okay. [Clears throat]

So, we're calling it
"The Loneliest Locker,"

and it's about Savannah,
a lonely bulimic teen

who is bullied and cuts
herself and has anorexia

and problems with alcohol
and abuses A.D.D. medication.

Mm.

I thought she just had bulimia.

So did her mom.

Sounds like Savannah's
got a lot going on there.

Okay, Mr. Heck, imagine this is a hall.

Got it.

Both: Energy, energy, energy. Focus.

[Exhales sharply]

Did you talk to the new girl?

No, I'm not talking to the new girl.

Should we talk to the new girl?

If we talk to the new girl,

then we're the only people
who've talked to the new girl.

Yeah. You're right.

Let's not talk to the new girl.

[Gasps] Freeze.

That's what we said.

Here's what we should have said.

[Both imitate tape rewinding]

Hey, look... there's the new girl.

Let's talk to her at lunch
and welcome her to our school.

Neutral space.

Now we're in the new girl's mind.

[Both whooshing]

[Breathes deeply]

Why won't they talk to me?

I'm crying out for help.

Why did we move here? I
was so happy in Dallas.

Dallas, Dallas, Dallas,
Dallas, Dallas, Dallas.

Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas.

Oh, my God, Sue! That was so good!

We have to write this down.

Dad, did you remember what we said?

Unfortunately, yes.

Dallas, Dallas, Dallas.

- Echo.
- Echo. Dallas echo.

Hold on. Let me check another flight.

As it turned out, the only
problem with working from home

is that I was working from my home.

Automated voice: Flip it. Bop it.

Flip it.

Tap it.

Pull it.

So, as a Platinum Member,
you earned double miles

and you're eligible for a day
pass to our executive club.

Thank you and enjoy your trip.

[Toilet flushes]

Oh, don't worry. The
extra legroom is a rip-off.

It's only like half an
inch. You won't miss it.

Let go.

Why?

It's been there forever.

You only want it 'cause I want it.

I'm gonna crackle-paint it someday.

[Scoffs] Okay. I'm sorry.

If you want to all sit together,

someone's gonna have to
sit in the middle seat.

Mom! Where is the costume box?

It was in the basement.

I'm talking to a customer.

Yeah, hi, Joan. Still here.

If you can take a later flight,
I might be able to get... oh.

No, sorry. There's a
middle seat there, too.

The black cape was in it, and I need it

to play bulimia in "The Loneliest Locker."

[Gasps] Brad doesn't
want to use his good cape.

Oh, yeah, I took that for a shower curtain.

You used my cape as a shower curtain?!

To be fair, it was a shower curtain.

Mom! Make him give me back my cape!

Figure it out. [Door opens, closes]

I got it on the middle seat,
Joan. Just give me a second.

[Toy popping]

Ahh... This takes me back.

Axl, you just show up here,
and you take all our stuff!

- That's so-o-o-o selfish!
- Why?

'Cause I think of myself first?

Uh, it's called being an
American. Check it out.

I get it, Joan! You
don't want a middle seat!

Nobody wants a middle seat!

Well, maybe your mom shouldn't
have died on a Thursday.

Yes.

I'd be happy to connect
you to my supervisor.

Just let me have the... oh, my God!

You don't want any of this!

[Groans]

I'm so glad it's Saturday.

Oh, crap. It's Saturday. I got to work.

[Groans]

What happened to "you never give up,"

and "it's the perfect job"?

Well, it turns out, embracing the possible

doesn't pay all that great.

You think Sue would hate us if we made her

repeat senior year a couple of times?

I'm calling it.

The dream is dead.

You want to tell Sue over nachos
or a ice-cream-sundae tower?

We're not telling her anything right now,

but if we do, definitely
the ice-cream tower.

What are we waiting for, Frankie?

We accidentally got free
premium channels for a month.

We've had our miracle.
It's her senior year, Mike.

You really want to ruin her senior year?

I mean, I can pick up a couple more hours,

maybe get a third job.

Yeah, right. And who knows?

I'm so tired, maybe I'll
fall in a hole at the quarry,

and we'll all hit the jackpot.

Well, we can't count on
that, but I like the attitude.

Okay.

- [Headset clatters]
- [Clears throat]

Are you serious?

He took my nightstand.

There were cookies in there.

[Scoffs] Don't you see?

If Savannah doesn't find her way back,

her dreams of one day becoming
a senator/jewelry designer

don't come true... that's reality, Sue.

You know what, Brad?

I didn't want to say
anything, but you have been

very controlling
throughout this whole thing.

Well, I'm sorry, but
some of the best directors

have not been well-liked...
Barbra Streisand.

I-I can't think of any others.

Anyway, I'm sorry, Sue,

but the ending of the
play needs to be darker.

No one befriends Savannah.
She ends up alone.

It'll have so much more impact.

No! Savannah needs to have hope

and believe that things
are going to work out.

That's what people want. Right, guys?

That's right.

Well, actually, Sue, I got to go with Brad.

Sometimes you got to be realistic.

People do better in life
when they face facts.

Dad!

Oh, Sue's right.

If you don't have hope,
Mike, you don't have anything.

Well, maybe if Savannah's parents

had been more honest with
her from the beginning,

she would never have gotten all of these

pie-in-the-sky ideas that
never were gonna happen.

Oh, yeah? Maybe Savannah's
parents told her the truth

and dashed her dreams and
sent her down a bad path.

Well, I happen to have a little
more faith in Savannah than that.

I think she can handle it.

Hope's a powerful thing, Mike.

You never know what might come of it.

Okay, you and Savannah
go live in the fairy world

where she's heading for
a big disappointment,

and no one that loves
her protected her from it.

[Sighs]

My body's tingling.

We just moved people with art.

All right, that's it!

- Cookie man.
- Oh!

[Laughs] Yes!

- [Knock on door]
- It's open!

Up.

Oh. [Groans]

Oh, but those are our cushions.

I know.

[Sighs]

- That was harsh.
- Way harsh.

[Cash register beeping]
Automated voice: 45 cents.

One dollar. Let's play.

I did not think our home
could become more annoying,

and yet, it has.

[Gasping] Oh, my God. I am so nervous.

I am the director, producer, star,

and I designed the programs.

This is what Ryan Seacrest
must feel like every day.

Okay, come on, come on. I can't be late.

[Cash register beeping] Two dollars.

Brick, turn that thing off. We're leaving.

- [Telephone rings]
- You know, if you would have just let me

play with this when I was little,

it would have been lost a long time ago.

Ironic, isn't it?

Frankie: Okay, you're
not gonna believe this.

That was work.

Severe thunderstorms have
shut down the Atlanta Airport,

and they want everybody on the
phone to reroute passengers.

What?! But that means
you're gonna miss my play!

Mom, I don't think you're
getting how big of a deal this is.

The vice principal and the
nurse are going to be there,

so, yeah, it's a huge deal.

Look, Sue, I'll be there.

It's... it's just that
this pays time-and-a-half,

and it's a new job, and I got to do it.

You go and be great,

and I'll be there before
the curtain goes up...

- I promise.
- Okay, but don't be late

because if you miss the opening

"Dream Dance Within a
Dream Dance" sequence,

the rest of the play won't make sense.

Whose locker is that?

It's the new girl's.

I think her name is Savannah or something.

Have you talked to her?

[Scoffs] I can't talk to her.

I'm quarterback of the football team.

[Scoffs] Well, I can't talk to her.

I'm top cheerleader.

Look, somebody'll talk to
her, maybe some uncool kids.

Mm-hmm. The new girl's
not really our problem.

Oh! [Gasps]

God, I'm not even a part
of this family anymore.

Why do I have to sit
through Sue's lame plays?

'Cause it's a big deal to your sister,

and for every hour you sit through it,

you earn back a cushion.

Florida. Tallahassee.

I'm sorry, but we don't
control the weather.

Yeah, if we did, it would
be sunny all the time.

- [Laughs]
- Florida. Tallahassee.

I know, and I'm gonna get you
to Tallahassee, if it's the I...

Florida. Tallahassee.

I-I-I'm sorry. Did I say Tallahassee?

- I meant Chicago!
- Florida. Tallahassee.

I don't know what made me say Tallahassee!

Florida. Tallahassee.

- No, I understand your frustration.
- Florida. Tallahassee.

And I am doing everything I can

- to resolve this to your satisfaction.
- Florida. Tallahassee.

Wyoming. Cheyenne.

I am Bulimia.

You hear me through the
bathroom wall, but you ignore me.

I am depression.

You give me a cinnamon roll
and beg me to get off the couch.

- Yes!
- Sue: I am negative thoughts.

You say you never have me. Liar!

I am A.D.D. medication

prescribed by a doctor for your friend.

You will use me to concentrate for finals.

Fool! Now you are mine.

Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine.

Yes, well, I hope all the
yelling made you feel better.

[Telephone beeps, cellphone buzzes]

Yeah, I know. I know I'm not there.

But I am doing my best.

Well, Sue's asking for you.

Look, I'm trying, but the storm

grounded like a million flights.

Well, you've already missed half the play.

At least, I hope it's half.

I understand your frustration,

and I assure you I am doing all I can

to resolve this to your satisfaction.

Hey! Don't Econo Blue me.

All right. Got to go.

You know, Clark,

I wish we would have
reached out to Savannah.

Savannah's gone. Forget about her.

Instead, feel the wind
in your hair in my jeep.

Maybe I could Instagram Savannah.

It's too late, Skyler.

She left, and now she's beyond help.

But not completely beyond
help because she has hope.

But the point is it happened,

and we will always, always remember...

Both: The Loneliest Locker.

I had a lonely locker.

I've had a lonely locker, too. Have you?

Or you? Or you?

We've all had The Loneliest Locker.

[Applause]

Everybody, come on down to the stage and
hold hands with the person next to you.

Come on. Don't be shy. We
got the place till midnight.

Come on, everybody!

Well, have fun and thank you
for choosing Econo Blue Airlines.

Where were you?

You promised you'd be
there, and you missed it.

You missed my senior play,

and it'll never happen again,
and it was a huge success.

- Tell her, dad.
- Yep.

I think the third ending was my favorite.

Brick: I liked the puppets.

I was shocked at how many
meds bipolar bear had to take

to get through the day.

Sue, I am so, so sorry.

You said you'd come before the
curtain came up, and you didn't.

You know, even Axl came,
and he didn't have to.

He was just being nice.

Look, I tried, Sue. I really did.

But I just started this job,
and I can't get fired, okay?

Why did you even take this job, anyway?!

You're already so busy!

Well, it's not like I wanted...

Oh! You're missing my whole senior year!

You're just missing everything.

You want to know why, Sue?
Do you want to know why?

Because I don't know how we're gonna pay

for your college, all right?

I mean, I am trying really hard here

to embrace the possible, but you know what?

It's just getting harder and harder

because you want to go to all
these great and awesome places,

and we want to send you there,

but to tell you the truth,

I just don't know how it's gonna happen.

I just don't know at all.

[Sighs]

I wanted to tell you at Chili's.

Look, I know.

I know we can't afford
any of those schools.

I was just talking and
dreaming and stuff for fun,

but I would never want to do anything

that would make you
guys have to work harder.

You guys work so hard already.

But I love you,

and honestly, honestly, honestly,

please don't kill yourself for me.

Whatever happens, I am gonna be fine.

[Sighs] Oh, she's so sweet and wonderful.

The best. How'd we get a kid this great?

I have no idea.

She deserves to go to college

wherever she wants, whatever it costs.

No matter what it takes.

- Third jobs, even.
- Done.

[Sighs]

Just don't let her major in theater.
