Original subtitles

- One night there was a bright light in the sky.

Heather thinks it was a UFO,

Robbie is convinced it was space-junk.

But I'm pretty sure it was just a planet.

But that's, that's confusing, right?

I mean we all saw the same thing but we all...

Saw something different.

Doesn't it make you wonder if we can trust anything

we don't see for ourselves?

Okay. So, should I open the presentation

with a picture of the space where we wrote the song

or a picture of me playing at Song Circle?

- Oh the first one. That office is beautiful.

- Right?! - The second one.

You are beautiful. - Suck up.

Savannah, break the tie?

- Uh, how can one possibly decide?

- That's literally why I brought you here.

Ugh, guys, I want this presentation to be perfect, okay?

Heather's dance teacher invited me to the studio to talk about

going to the big city to work on your art.

And I want to inspire them

(harmonic singing)

- Um, Holly, have you heard the new Amelia Garbenzo song yet?

♪ Now you've got your small-town girls ♪

♪ Stole you from me, destroy my whole world ♪

♪ She rope you in from the start ♪

♪ And then she will trample you're heart ♪

- Yeah, yeah. I like the melody. It's a little mean though.

- You really don't know? Amelia used to date Justin.

Justin, the guy who lives in a trailer in our driveway

in his small town to write an album with you, girl.

- You think the song is about me?

She's a huge pop star, I mean,

this song was probably written a year ago by a team of adults.

- Actually, it says right here she wrote this in response

to rumours that Justin moved to the country

and started seeing someone new.

- Ugh, you can't believe everything that you see on the internet.

I have to fix this. - Um, good luck.

The internet is literally designed to withstand a nuclear explosion.

- I may not be able to fix the whole thing.

But I can do what people have done since the dawn of dis-tracks.

Justin and I need to set the record straight.

Through song.

♪ When will everybody see ♪

♪ We're just friends ♪

♪ We can set on to the willow tree ♪

♪ without K-I-S-S-I-N-G ♪

♪ We're just friends ♪

And then I was thinking that the verses could be kind of like

a call and response type thing?

- Yeah. That's fun. I dig it.

- Okay, great! I figured we could finish it up today,

record it here, and then release it!

As kind of like a teaser track.

- And a response to my ex's song?

- Oh, I...

I hadn't thought of that. - Uh huh. Look.

I don't think we should rush into my first single

just because you're feeling some type of way.

- So, you don't think that we should say anything?

- It'll only add more fuel to the fire.

They'll forget it in a week.

Besides, the idea that you and I are dating,

that's not the worst rumour.

People say way worse things about me on the internets.

And only half of it's true.

Alright Hobbie, I've gotta bounce.

- Wait, what else do people say about you?

- Not important. It's too wild

♪ You and me run to a different beat ♪

♪ We are brave, lead the way, lead the way ♪

♪ Be the you inside ♪

♪ And watch the world take flight ♪

♪ We are brave, lead the way, lead the way ♪

♪ Be the change ♪

♪ Be the change ♪

♪ Gotta be the change ♪

- And then our professor told us that

there are millions of tons of diamonds on Jupiter.

It literally rains diamonds there! Should we go?

Do you need to go to sleep babe?

- Uh, it's getting pretty late. - It's 8:30.

- Yeah, but, I was up at 5:45 to unload a jar order.

And then, label machine got all, you know when it um?

(snaps fingers) - Jams?

I'm gonna miss our call tomorrow for night class

and then again the next night 'cause of that party.

Are you sure you can't come?

- I got client meetings the next morning.

Wish I could. Really miss you. - Aww. I miss you too.

Okay, you hang up. - No, you hang up.

She hung up!

- Oh, she's probably tired of watching you

ageing before her eyes.

- What was that supposed to mean?

- Well, you look a bit like my buddies

down at the retirement home. - Don't worry about it pal.

I'm proud of ya. You're working hard

and you're getting your sleep in.

Hey, you're just like me. - You mean old?

- I prefer vintage.

- Speak for yourself.

I'm hitting the pool hall

and jamming with the boys tonight.

Age is just a number.

- Yeah! You're right grandpa.

- Too bad yours is already 77.

(laughter)

- Alright, Amy is too busy to meet with us.

So, I'm just going to run this by you two, cool?

What do we think about this?

As a big surprise for my presentation,

I FaceTime in Piper from Paris?

- Beaming in a jet setting. Dream chasing girl

from a major European city? They'll love it.

- Yes.

- So, Justin wouldn't do anything about it?

He wouldn't address it at all?

- Oh, uh, he said that we should just try and let it pass.

- Easy for him to say. Holly, I got asked three times today

if you're breaking up with me for him.

- People will move on to the next piece of gossip in no time.

Until then, I'll just focus on my presentation

and we can try and tune it out, okay?

- Yeah.

(phone vibrating)

- Scratch that. Andrea just texted

and said that I can't do my speech at the studio anymore.

- What? Why not?!

- Holly's increasingly battered reputation?

- What are you talking about?

- Some parents caught wind of all the Justin stuff

and they thought that having you talk to their kids

was no longer appropriate.

Apparently, cheaters aren't very good role models.

- But I'm not a cheater. Nothing happened between us.

- Anyways, good news, now you have less homework.

Peace.

- I don't understand why this is happening.

- I'm not 100 % sure, but do you ever read Hollywood Spilt Tea ?

- I'm guessing that's not a website

for the various Earl Greys and Pekoes?

- It's my gossip bible.

They post blind items every day about unnamed celebs,

but you can usually figure out who they mean.

And they've said some pretty bonkers things about Justin.

I suspect Amelia Garbenzo wrote her song after reading about this.

- "This former teen star has gone country.

But what's a cowboy without a cowgirl?

He's been spotted in a tiny Wisconsin town

with a mystery girl with flowing locks,

a penchant for ice cream and boots for walking."

And people just believe this because it's written online?

- Some of it, yeah. But some of it is a bit more far-fetched.

- Justin did mention that there were a bunch of rumours

about him floating around.

What else does it say about Justin?

- So, what are we gonna do with our afternoon?

- There are infinite possibilities. Anything you'd imagine.

- You guys going to do something fun?

- We're gonna smush stuff on the railway. So long, army man.

- Aw, fun. I used to do that all the time when I was a kid.

No, wait, Mildred from the corner store

paid for her order this morning with a bag of coins.

Terrible for business but it is perfect for this!

- Okay, how about you leave those in the truck.

And, also, you stay in the truck?

- Wait, what?

- Look, I love you. You know that?

- Yeah, sure. - And you're always gonna be my goofy brother.

- Of course.

- But, to my friends... you are an adult man.

- Yeah, but like a, like a cool adult man.

- I don't think there's such a thing.

You're a guy with a job now Robbie,

I mean, this is literally a company truck.

Like it or not, you are a grown-up.

- Well, I do not like it.

- Sorry dude. There's nothing that I can do to change that.

- There's something that I can do.

- Thanks, hon.

- Hey, Hols. You wanna help dry dishes?

- No thanks.

- Oh, oh, maybe I should have reworded that.

Why don't you dry the dishes or I'm gonna take your phone

and I'm gonna dunk it in the dish water.

- Oh! - Yes. Of course. Sorry.

Ugh.

Do you guys think Justin really abandoned his pet monkey?

- What? Justin has a pet monkey?

- Oh, I hear those things are vicious.

- I still don't think people should be allowed

to set them free at the amusement parks.

- He did that? Where on earth are you getting this stuff from?

- Some internet gossip site.

They've got pictures and everything.

- Holly, please. - What?! It's been right a bunch.

It predicted Beyonce's second pregnancy and A-Rod and J-Lo's break up.

- Okay, that one was kind of obvious. I mean, like, come on.

There's no good way to put their names together.

- What else does it say about Justin?

- Um, that he charged 100 bucks for a meet and greet

and then never showed. - Hmm.

- That he never wears the same pair of socks twice.

- You know what?

I've never actually seen socks in his laundry.

- Hmm. Weird. - Huh.

- Wait, this one says that the real reason he's in Collinsville

is because he's trying to get away from some people

who are really mad at him. - What?

- Something about how he stormed off set

and trashed some producer's office on This Just In.

- Oh, honey, it's just internet gossip.

- No, no. It even quotes a source saying

that he's a close person friend of Justin's.

Ugh. I mean, what if it's actually true?

We only knew the guy for one night before he came here.

What if he's really a bad guy?

- No, no, no. We talked to him before he came here

and he was nothing but polite.

- No, but you know, he's been acting really strange recently.

Like, sneaking off and not telling me where he's going.

Ugh. I wish I knew how to know what was actually true.

- You know, you kids and your texting and your twooting.

Why don't you try something old-fashioned and ask him?

- Absolutely. And, in the meantime,

stop looking at those sites. They will fry your brain.

(calming music)

(mooing)

- Justin!

(knocking)

(soft neighing)

Justin!

(knocking)

Justin?

Okay.

(unzipping)

Socks?

(sighs)

Does this sound like Justin?

This junior bad boy left a party early Friday

taking a custom swan ice sculpture with him.

- If I say yes can we start this movie?!

- Ugh! Holly, I wish they just let you give this stupid presentation.

Russel talking about performance art in Spokane

is not nearly as inspiring as they hoped.

- I mean, it inspired me to never do performance art.

- How do you think I feel?

I'm not even sure why Justin's here anymore.

- She's still going down that spiral?

- It's like a bottomless pit.

- You talked to the guy in Nashville.

He's here to write songs with you. Mystery solved.

Do I get a cookie? - So, you guys really think

that there is no chance that he's here running from his producers?

(together): No! - Certainly there's a chance.

- Not helpful, Claudia.

- Anything is possible. The world is vast, Heather.

- If it were true, why would he come here?

- Exactly!

- It's small. Really far away from California.

And a great place to build a secret underground bunker!

You haven't read that stuff?

Come on! It's all over the forums.

- The forums?

- Everyone's talking about it.

- This is supposed to be down in that ravine behind the pickle factory.

- They say it dates back to the Cold War

and Justin's here so he can renovate it

and then hide out in there.

- Are you two like listening to yourselves?

- I mean, we haven't actually finished very many songs.

He's always running off somewhere.

- Yeah, to be with a small-town girl.

- Okay. What's more believable?

That Justin, a famous person,

came all the way here to Collinsville to write an album with me,

a person who's never really done that before?

Or he's here because he's running from something?! Hiding!

- Okay, what if we just go to this bunker tomorrow.

And if we don't find anything then we can drop this whole thing.

All of it. - Hmm.

- Okay, yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea.

(engine idling)

- Is that your stomach? - Uh, nope.

But I am getting kind of hungry. Maybe we should take a break.

(grunts)

- What is that?!

- Whoa! - No!

- She's beautiful! You don't like her?

- That thing? No, that is dangerous.

Robbie, you don't need a motorbike.

- Oh come on. I took a lesson, I got my licence,

got the sweet jacket, this helmet, I'm good!

- Look, sweetie. Um...

you run a business now and what happens if you get hurt?

- What is the point of the business if I can't do anything fun?

I have to live a little, right?

- Yeah, I'm worried the motorcycle will lead

to the exact opposite of that.

- Okay. I'm going for a ride.

(keys jingle)

- So, you didn't feel the need to chime in there at all?

- Well, I was worried that I would undermine your very clear message.

- Hmm. - Um.

- I mean, yes, of course he will let you ride it.

- Sweet. - But no.

You will absolutely not.

- But!

- Okay. Let me get this straight.

So, we're out here risking poison ivy to prove that

Justin Lewis is not building a secret bunker

to hide out from powerful Hollywood elites.

- Okay, well, I mean, you make it sound a little crazy

when you say it like that.

- But, is there a different way to say it, like?

- Well, hopefully we just prove it all wrong. Huh.

- You know, I saw a couple black SUVs in town the other day.

- What if they're already here? - Who?

- The bad guys. Should we warn Justin?

- Warn him that black is by far the most popular colour for cars?

- It's also the most popular colour for bad guys' cars in movies.

- Don't forget helicopters. - Good point.

- But nobody actually saw any helicopters, right?

- Okay, how much further? I'm seriously getting hangry.

- I mean, I'm pretty sure it should be right here somewhere, so.

- I feel better.

(sighs)

- Um, guys.

- That's just a coincidence, right?

- No, no, no, no. That's the door.

Here look, I'll show you.

Ugh, I don't have any service.

- Me neither. - Is that a helicopter?

(propeller whirling)

- We have to get out of here.

- Go.

(indistinct chatter)

- Here you go. - Thanks.

- Excuse me.

- Hey, uh, you lost bud?

- Uh, no, I'm actually just looking for someone.

- Robbie?

Was that you on the motorcycle?

- I wanted to surprise you. - Definitely surprised.

A motorcycle? - Yeah.

- Pretty dope, right?

No?

- Ugh. I'm sorry. I have to ask.

Why are you here in Collinsville? Really?

- What do you mean? - I don't know.

You seem distracted. You're always running off.

- I've been a bit preoccupied lately.

But I really thought I brought it on this verse, you don't like it?

- Are you in danger? - Am I in danger?

From who?

- I don't know, Hollywood people?

- Oh boy.

You're starting to sound like all the weirdos on the internet.

- So there's, there's no truth in any of that?

- You'll have to be more specific.

- The pet monkey? Trashing your boss' office?

The secret bunker? The socks?

- Wow! You're in deep.

- You do have all those socks though.

- Did you go through my things?

- Oh, um, I went to go talk to you

and the door was open and I accidentally knocked over your suitcase--

- Ignoring the fact that's a massive invasion of my privacy,

here's the deal.

One time I posted about liking this brand of socks

and now they send me crates of them.

- Wouldn't it be easier to tell people the truth?

- You think it would be easier to address every little thing?

The only way to get through it is to ignore it.

And surround myself with people who know I'm a good person

and would never believe those things about me.

So, no.

Never had a monkey.

Our show ended really nicely,

I'm still buzz with a lot of the producers.

And this whole bunker thing is brand new to me.

But let me know when you sort out what you believe.

Because I believe that this song can be really great

and I'd love to get back to it.

(classical music)

- And then I realized that she was sweaty

because her locker was super far away from homeroom

and she had to sprint all the way across the school.

So, I let her use my locker.

And we've been together ever since.

- I mean, to be fair, he only let me use the bottom of the locker.

- Hey, that is still super romantic for eighth grade.

- Wait. You two are in the same grade?

- Yeah. I think we're all the same age, right?

- I just meant from what Lila told us about you,

it seemed like you were quite a bit older than us.

- Right. Uh...

Oh, look at that. 5 pm.

Dinner time for an old guy like me.

I'm just gonna go check out those appetizers.

- I'll be right back.

(indistinct chatter)

What's wrong? - Well, for starters,

this jam is terrible.

- You didn't come all this way to scope out the jam competition did you?

- No, I wanted to surprise you.

- Well, I'm definitely surprised.

- You hate it.

- No, it's just not very you babe.

- Yeah, yeah, cause I'm just some old grandpa

who can't even stay awake long enough to talk to his girlfriend.

Well, you heard what he said over there.

He totally thinks I'm some grown-up.

- You say that like it's a curse word. - Well, isn't it?

- No. That guy wants to go to business school

and you already own a business.

I like that you're a grown-up. That you're responsible,

and ambitious and if that means you fall asleep

when we're FaceTiming sometimes,

I like that too.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Sorry for freaking out.

Look, I gotta wake up early tomorrow so I should probably hit the road.

- Oh, no, there's no way I'm letting you ride that home.

There's a bus back to town at 10?

- Oh thank heavens, I thought I was gonna die on the way here.

Whew! So, should we get back to the party?

- We don't need to try to keep up with those whipper snappers.

- Ugh. Aww. How could I be so dumb?

I have to make it up to him.

- Ugh. You're not dumb, Holly. You were just curious.

So were lots of people. - Curiosity killed the cat, Oscar.

And now, potentially, my music career.

- It was a compelling story. And you have to admit

that part about the secret door, that was pretty cool to think about.

- And also an urban legend for decades.

My dad said that when Madonna came and played at the county fair,

people made up the exact same rumour about her and that door.

It's a sewer access entrance!

- There's a rational explanation for everything.

- Ugh, I know.

I just got a bit turned around.

But still,

how do I prove to Justin that I do think he's a good guy?

- Maybe start by telling him?

And everybody loves a little apology gift.

(crunchy chewing)

(grill searing)

- Whew!

Uh...

did your bike shrink?

- Yeah, the motorcycle was a bit too much for me.

- Oh.

- Ah, you finally accepted that you're an old man.

- You know what? I have.

I sold the bike and...

I used the money to buy this for Lila.

(joyful music)

- Wow! Robbie, that's a...

that's a really big decision.

- When you know who you want to grow old with,

it doesn't feel like getting old at all.

- It's beautiful. - She's gonna love it.

- Ah!

- Okay. My mom said that she saw Justin downtown.

- Ugh, are you sure he's gonna like these shoes?

I mean, the fact that they were at a Collinsville vintage shop

makes me worry that they're not Hollywood enough for him.

- They're Gucci slides. If he doesn't accept them,

I'm burning all my This Just In box sets,

except season four.

That one is pure art.

- Wait, wait, wait. There's Justin.

Oh, he's with someone.

- Must be a small town girl. See?

There really is a rational explanation for everything.

(laughter)

- We all saw that right?

(pop music)
