Original subtitles

What can I say, Marco? This is my life.

Paige, Michael Chuck, Hollywood stylist.

Swimming pools, movie stars.

You want to visit?

Um, this month isn't the best. Work is insane.

Paige!

Can you hold? Client on the other line.

Paige!

Is everything okay, Haley?

How is my performance in this episode?

So I talked to Mo and she said she saw you at the Holly last night with Cody.

Yeah. It's reality TV, Haley.

What?

It's great. You're awesome.

Okay. Virgin mobile party. Can you help me with an outfit?

Yeah.

that you would remember I want to be a stylist. Were you thinking dress? Maybe

Mew Mew? Does she have the doggy line?

The outfit is for Truffle?

You are the best assistant ever.

Oh, Truffle.

Marco? You still there?

A visit right now definitely won't work.

I know. I'm disappointed.

You.

I'll talk to you later, Marco.

Here are the keys to that school bus.

Now, I want a tip -top shape by the time the winter break's over, okay? No

problemo, chef.

Chef trusts you with the school bus.

I've given him no reason not to.

Yet.

Nothing to do over the winter break. Listen up.

Celebrity friend of Degrassi.

Jason Mewes is holding open auditions for his new movie, Musical High.

Are you a star waiting to be discovered? Or a band waiting for their big break?

Like this dude.

Oh, yeah. From the winter break in sunny California.

Movie star. Cool.

How about you, Mia? Gonna audition?

Nah. Oh, but I'd love to meet Michael Ray. I hear he's the star of the film.

You have a crush?

You do? You love him? No, I just like his movies, okay?

No vicious blot, murder or foulness. No unchaste action or dishonored steps.

Stop!

Manny, didn't we talk about you trying to cry in the scene?

Well, I thought I'd try something different.

And do you think that worked?

I'm not sure.

Hard to perform from a stance of not being sure, isn't it?

Are you not sure you want to be an actor?

No, I'm sure.

Are you not sure you have the focus to practice this craft?

No, I'm sure. Are you not sure you have any talent? Because you're beginning to

make me wonder.

I'm sure.

Use that emotion.

Back to the scene. Go.

No vicious blot, murder, or foulness.

No unchaste action or dishonored step that has to bribe me of your grace and

favor.

Class, now you've seen how a real actor takes direction and commits to an

emotion.

That's it for this morning.

Many a quick word?

One last thing.

Are you not sure that I'm crazy about you?

I'm sure.

I was thinking

dinner at Le Chasse, then dessert at my place.

That sounds nice.

Nice?

Well, more than nice.

It's just I was supposed to go to this Kevin Smith lecture with some of my

friends.

Kevin Smith?

Yeah, well, you know, I did that movie with him, Jay and Silent Bob Go

eh? I sort of owe it to him to show up.

Go. Have fun with your friends.

Well, no, I don't have to go.

I'd much rather spend time with you.

So, um, dinner?

At Le Chef?

Now I come to think about it, I've just got too much work to do.

Maybe I should leave.

Why? Because Mick wouldn't want you here?

Everything I do, I do because I want to. Oh, so he doesn't control you.

You don't understand.

I feel great, like I can do anything when I listen to him.

Is this seat free?

What are you doing here?

I figured if Kevin Smith cast you in one of his films, he can't be up as bad as

I imagine him to be.

I'm really glad you came. Ladies and gentlemen, Kevin Smith!

Hello, Smith!

Give it up for Jake Miller!

late for Truffle's Reiki appointment.

Oh, I cannot believe it.

Auditions are happening for the Jason Mewes movie and I never got the call.

I actually know Jason from working on a Kevin Smith movie.

I could maybe help you score an audition if you promise to help me launch my

stylist career.

Deal.

How many people, given the chance, A, would you go back and relive your high

school experience? And B, what would you change?

Like for me, I would eat like 10 ,000 less Twinkies.

You know, maybe get involved in a sport of some sort. Work off some of this

chub. What about you, sir? If you had a chance to go back to high school, what

would you change?

I would go back and snag that girl that got away.

Really? I would.

That is a hell of a poignant thing for this dude to say, but it really is an

excellent segue for what I'm about to tell you, which is Mr. Jason Mewes here,

who you all know from Jay and Silent Bob, has written and will be directing

feature film debut called Musical High.

The things that I do for you.

It's not that bad.

I'm good. There must be turning in his grave.

I guess it is kind of sure of it.

Are you guys having a conversation?

Is it like, oh my God, I totally got Mariah Carey tickets. Hey, there's a

going on up here, so shh, shh, shh.

Sorry, Kevin.

You look familiar to me.

Oh, excuse.

Manny Santos.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chick -fil -A at Apollonian. Jay and Silent Bob,

go Canadianate. Come on up here, Manny.

I don't want to sweat on it.

This chick is a brilliant, brilliant actress.

You bad menace fool has been bugging me for months to try to find you. Your

agent said you're not doing auditions. Why?

I'm not allowed to audition in the program.

Well, at least that's what her psychoprofessor said.

Psychoprofessor? I don't understand. What do you mean?

That dude? Look at the way he wears his beard right here. Like he's got a

Brazilian, like a landing strip. Come on.

Don't listen to him. Look, this man is trying to make a movie. He's going to be

casting it at your alma mater back at Degrassi.

Studio has given this mama Luke...

Full casting control. He gets to cast an unknown female lead. Who are you? An

unknown female lead. Look, I'll hold a special audition for you.

Please come.

Really? It's not a creepy thing. It's a good thing. Mrs. Smith, your car is

ready. Thank you, Juicy. No problem.

I gotta go, man. Oh, excellent seeing you. Bye -bye.

Bye -bye. Don't be an idiot. Give her the package.

Yeah, look.

Audition package.

Please come.

You'll be great.

Seriously.

Thank you.

The grassy kids just have this honesty that Hollywood kids lack, you know?

Plus, the chicks are really hot.

All right, so you guys are the studs. Uh, students.

All right, New Jersey.

Jason Mewes, played by my little boy right here, Michael, believes that he

successfully mac Trixie if he's a drummer in a band.

So show me what you got, boys.

One, two, three, four.

Let's get homeroom. I want to see your bedroom.

Let's get sexy. Forget what your daddy said.

What do you think?

She's smoking.

Dude,

about the band.

Stop channeling me and focus.

I can't, dude. She's too hot.

Listen, you're going to have to go outside.

What did I do?

You're batting your eyes and you're flaunting your stuff. You know what

doing, all right? You're distracting my boy.

Dude, that's my girlfriend.

Oh, then I apologize for what I'm imagining right now.

Can we try again?

No, please don't, all right? My ears are still ringing.

Which is exactly what I'm looking for, boys.

You're the new high school band of Musical High.

See you in L .A.

I got you the audition.

Going to parties was your big thing.

Musical is a stupid idea.

Who even watches those anymore?

Everyone.

No one. No one watches musicals.

Let's take it from the top. And this time, don't let me forget a word.

Yes, ma 'am.

Going to parties was your big thing.

Take these. I know them inside.

You are going to be amazing.

Hey, Mick.

You missed the in -study.

You went to the audition after all.

I just had to give it a shot. I thought you'd understand.

That you had to experience failure to know that I'm right.

You think I'm going to fail?

There's no doubt in my mind.

Santos, Mr. Muse would like to see you.

It just hurts so bad.

Okay.

It just hurts so bad.

Um, it just hurts so badly to see

you with her.

To see you with her.

To see you with her.

if we just try the song again?

Dude, I know you're the director, but I don't like that movie. I'm pretty sure

this broad's never going to get it.

Mr. May, we do have a plane to catch.

Maybe we should go.

Manny, I'll show the stuff to the suits and we'll see what they say.

All right, kids, that's it for now. What? I don't even get to audition?

Dude, dude, I thought she was my trip, Seattle.

She's a hottie, for sure.

But she totally sucked.

Hello, beautiful.

Guys, we're in a movie. Hello, L .A. Palm trees, girls in bikinis. Dude, do

think Jason Mewes will introduce us to Ben Affleck?

Have you guys seen Phantoms? That movie was a bomb.

Dude,

don't make a scene.

I don't know.

A beautiful, smart girl like you?

Hey, I was just telling your girlfriend how much I'd like to get with her.

Michael, stop it.

No, I was just saying about a trailer here. I invite her back there, you know,

for a little private casting session.

Dude, what's up?

I said he was going to sleep with my girlfriend.

I was method acting, okay? I was just channeling music. He didn't have to

me.

I'm not working with this junk.

Dudes, you're off the movie, all right?

What, you're kicking me off the movie just because you're trying to mackle my

girlfriend? Um, no, because you punched him in his mouthpiece?

All right, that's Hollywood.

You're done.

And I'll never get to meet Ben Affleck.

That was stupid.

Paddle call. Jason Mewes wasn't even there. Let's go.

Not until we talk about my future.

What future?

You're a terrible assistant.

You should feel lucky I didn't fire you ages ago.

Where's my palm?

I left it in the audition room. Go get it. No!

I'll fire you. And then you can go back to Canada, a big fat failure.

One palm.

Let me know that.

How's my little girl? Yeah, good girl.

You are a bad lady.

No one has that Jersey girl -next -door quality we need.

Maybe Muse found someone decent in Canada.

I'm the producer.

I'll decide who we cast.

Hi.

My boss was just here and... Say your name and the part you're reading for.

Excusez -moi? To the camera, please. This is your chance.

Take it or leave it.

Of course.

My name is Paige Michaelchuk.

And I'm here to audition for Trixie.

What was I thinking?

I thought... Well, at least you tried.

Well, I shouldn't have.

Mick was right. I'm not ready.

Is that your computer?

dressed emma's dressed too i bet huh what about kelly's kelly dressed i'm

kidding look why aren't you going la i already auditioned here and i blew it

even muse thought i sucked no no no no santos you cannot give up you know just

because you messed up one time for heaven's sakes if that was the case i'd

been out of this business after jersey girl which a lot of people think that i

am but i'm not i'm still here i suggest you go down to los angeles and audition

because muse needs you what if they already picked someone else Oh, my God,

Manny, this is the movie business, okay? They pick somebody, they recast

immediately. There's a week left before they start shooting. That is plenty of

time for you to get down to Los Angeles, knock his socks off with a better

audition, and secure the part that is rightfully yours. Believe me, I would

to go with you to Los Angeles right now rather than be here freezing butt in

Saskatchewan, if you follow me. But you got to do this. You can do this. Go do

this.

at the quick stop. You had your arm around what's -her -name. She was even

wearing that sweater I gave you. It just hurt so bad.

I can't even be in the same room as the two of you.

Dude, I know this girl. This is the lesbian chick that got cut from Jane

Go Canadian, eh?

That's great. So you already have a working relationship.

Dude, she's not my Trixie.

All right, and you went ahead and gave her a screen test?

Yeah. I'm the producer, and I loved her.

You want this project green -lit, or...

We're not.

Come on.

Tell me about it. Hailey parties while I slave.

Are you looking for Hailey?

Au contraire, Paige, I'm looking for you.

Will you be Musical High's prom queen?

Oh, my God.

I got the part?

That's right, baby.

This is the craziest thing that has ever happened to me.

Thank you. You won't regret this.

Of course not.

Hey, sweetie, gotta run. See you at the studio.

Marco, uh, know how you wanted to visit?

I think this week will work.

Why don't I buy your ticket?

She's got a stain on her.

I said, no, that's the dress.

So I said... Whatever Sinead grinds, the Shores has an after show. Does 90210

have an after show?

Paige!

Truffles doesn't even dress for cocktails.

Remember the musical high audition?

Oh, my God. Did I get the fuck?

No, I did. So, I'm quitting.

You?

Who will look after Truffles?

Where will you stay? If you think I'm going to let you stay here and freeload

off of me... That's okay. They're putting me up in a house in Beverly

Thanks for everything, though.

You think you've got it all figured out.

This town is a lot tougher than it looks.

No matter how tough it gets, Hayley, I'll never treat people the way you've

treated me.

See you later, Troubles.

My best buddy.

About to become a big star, Paige. You must be thrilled.

Beyond thrilled. And when you and Ellie get here, I am going to dial it up to

ecstatic. What about your entourage?

Oh, no, just my friends. I have a feeling I'm going to need them out here.

I can't believe this is actually happening.

Oh, that was fast.

You are so adorable.

There's your director.

Studio, why don't you say hello to Jason while I take this and then lunch with

the Holly?

Okay.

Dude, Robbie, this Sue keeps saying she's adorable and whatever, but sir,

not my Trixie.

Oh, dude, then why are you using her? I don't get it. Why would you cast her if

she's not your Trixie? I have no choice. He's the boss.

Oh, listen to you, man. Just come on, dude. Whose story is it, right? Who

the screenplay?

A lot of misspellings, but whatever.

Who's directing? It's you, man.

God, what happened to you?

If I was stuck here in Winnipeg, I'd come down and smack taste out of your

mouth, I swear.

You're making me sick.

I knew I should have directed this movie.

I just wanted to say hello.

I'm sure you don't want to join us in Whistler for the break.

Too much work.

Have fun.

Ellie Nash.

Hi.

I got here a ticket to sunny California, courtesy of Paige. She promises

the star treatment.

Okay, I'm so in shock that she actually got that part, but... No, I should just

get ahead on the next issue.

I thought it might be fun to reunite our little family in L .A.

It's your mom. She's at the hospital.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, no, she just volunteers there. Tell her I'll call her back.

She'll call you back.

From the airport.

Yes. Yes!

Yes, house reunion time! We're going to have a blast!

There has to be a way to get you to LA for that audition.

Well, find the magic money.

You know, you can always hitch a ride with the guys.

Yeah, I figure it's the least I can do after losing us the part in the movie.

I got a bus driver, I'll pay for gas, we'll bring food, sleep on the bus, play

gigs all across America.

And Manny is coming with.

Uh, this trip is just the guys.

Remember that time that you emailed topless photos of Manny to everyone in

school?

You owe her.

Big time.

All right, well, I'll ask the driver. As he says, Jay's boss, Jay's rules.

Jay as in Jay Hogart?

No, there is no way I'm getting on a bus with that boy.

Musical high star hits new low, trips and falls down at the holly. There is no

such thing as bad publicity.

I am so new to this Hollywood thing, which is why I have a few questions.

who calls the shots on set?

The director.

Oh. Unless I, the producer, disagree with him.

So if Jason Mewes didn't like me and you did?

You'd have nothing to worry about. Just be your adorable self, and I'll take

care of everything else.

Oh, I should go. I have to pick up my friends at the airport.

Call your car.

So which celeb should we add to our posse?

Ooh, Taylor Kitsch.

I think that I'll get along with him.

Hey,

are you all right?

I'm fine, yeah.

Um, the L .A. air is so dry.

Marco? Eleanor?

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry I'm late. Lunch at the Holly with my producer. But I am here now, and a

limo awaits to show us the town.

Let's get crazy.

Let's be sure to do some math.

Let's show our town.

Welcome to my world.

It's gonna be a deal.

I can't be.

Ashton Kutcher?

Honey,

I could have told you that wasn't Ashton Kutcher.

His shoulders are a lot broader.

Yeah, and I think you stopped wearing that trucker hat before, but I like

Kids today.

I know. Let's go find Jean Harlow.

Bye, love.

It's gone

Even though you could act.

Thank you, Eleanor, for your confidence.

See, I always knew you had star potential.

Jay?

Jay? This is a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea.

That voice.

Could it be Manny Santos?

It's hard to tell since she hangs up every time I call.

I can't do this.

relationship right now and the only way to save her is to get her to LA please

if you care about her convince her to come with you

all right if you need help

getting to LA I've got the room mapped out GPS ready and a tank full of gas

there's no reason to say no

I can't believe you're doing a 17 shoot. This is crazy.

Crazy is stunning, but I think I would photograph better in something more

tapered. Oh, I was just wondering if I have to wear this exact dress.

I think it is in Hollywood's newest diva.

Oh, this dress is beautiful. I just think something more classic would suit

better. Like that black and white dress there.

Oh, she's right, you know.

Simple.

Really makes an impact.

I am so proud that you're going to L .A. Well, if I can get there without

killing Jay.

That'd be worse than your psycho professor. That guy's a real creep.

Mick.

I've been looking all over for you.

Can we go somewhere and talk?

So you messed up the audition.

Just like I said you would.

Nick. You're not ready for professional work. Anyone can see that.

Nick.

Come on, let's go.

I thought that I could do it. I've indulged this behavior long enough.

I think let's go.

Kevin Smith said if I just get down there, I still have a chance.

Kevin Smith.

What's going to change this time?

You're still the untalented girl that crawled out of my bed yesterday morning.

You think I have no talent?

Are you conjuring to Smithdale drama? I'll never know.

How can you say that?

Just don't come crying back to me when you fail.

Everybody, just got off the phone with Marco.

Paige is starring in that Jason Mewes film. How awesome is that?

I used to date her.

Ogling? What am I, some mad scientist genius?

Hello? I thought you were a brainiac. I meant stop staring at their melons.

Dude, she's totally screwing me up.

Look, if she was a classy broad, she would say boobs.

My script says melons.

That's the old version.

Blazing through the scenes?

Yeah, like a well -oiled machine.

This girl you picked, she looks the part, somewhat.

She's not exactly an actress, though.

This is my girl.

Try to make it work.

All right, guys, let's try this again from the top.

How many times do I have to tell you, Jason, stop staring at their boobs?

How's that?

Honestly? We have been at this for hours, and I'm not getting any better.

There goes my career as a Hollywood starlet.

So what?

When was the last time you acted like grade 10?

Grade 12. Give me some credit. Okay.

They liked your screen test, right? You can do this.

I understood that scene. I just... I need to calm down.

Comfort food. Like back bacon and maple syrup.

Oh, the best stuff is at the Canadian shop.

Get me some?

I'll go.

Just run lines with Marco until the voice coach comes.

Okay. I can do this. Thanks for everything, you guys. It really means a

me. Okay.

Ellie Nash?

Craig? Oh, my God. Hi.

Hi. I can't believe you're in L .A. I can't believe you're eating ketchup

with Pete Wentz.

I was going to say, we're addicted.

Yeah, this is Pete, and this is Cassidy from Hey Monday.

Hey. Hey. Hi.

Dude introduced us to ketchup chips, and now we can't go on tour without them.

Yeah, they're so hard to find, but so worth it.

Why didn't you call?

We just assumed you'd be on tour.

We? You're here with someone?

Marco and I are visiting Paige.

Oh, then you should all drop by tonight.

I'm playing this club called the Highland Ground.

You look good.

Yeah.

Clean and sober for a year now.

Anyway, we gotta hit a sound check, but, uh, see you tonight?

Yeah, yeah, if we can tear ourselves away from the hustle and bustle of

Hollywood.

It was nice meeting you guys.

Nice meeting you, too. Bye.

Hoping that I could change you.

Being the one to tame you. But you never got... But

you never got close.

Maybe you didn't know.

Cut, cut, cut.

Look, this is the moment I fell in love with Trixie. When I looked across the

hall, my whole world changed.

All right, so when you sing this, the audience has to feel that way, too.

For the record, I'm not feeling this. Hello, these tears are going to collapse

like any second. The only thing I feel is terrified.

Can someone help me down, please?

Get her down, please.

I wish they filmed that. It'd be great for the blooper reel.

In case you didn't notice, I had a panic attack in there, and you just laughed

at me.

You know, I thought you would come to L .A. and be my friend, but Ellie doesn't

even want to come to the studio, and you're not on my side. I am.

Paige, it's going to be okay.

No, it's not. I'm going to get fired, and I'll have to go back to picking up

after Haley's stupid dog.

I thought you were her stylist.

I was her assistant.

Robbie wants to see me.

To fire me, Paige fails again.

Go enjoy the pool while we still have it.

Hi, Mrs. Nash.

What's up?

So that's it?

You told Jay to leave for L .A. without you?

Paige got the part.

Guess even she's more talented than I am. I should have listened to Mick in

first place.

It's Muse.

Muse, it's Emma.

Really?

Gotcha.

So, Paige isn't working out.

What does that mean?

It means get your butt to L .A. pronto.

I

don't

know how you did it.

I promise I'll improve.

I'm taking singing lessons. I got a dance coach.

This isn't about your singing. I told Mr. Muse you aren't going anywhere.

this out.

I got this. 17th cover and thousands of dollars in free publicity before we

shoot a frame you just became very valuable to the movie however you did it

keep doing it at the young women in hollywood gala tonight let's see just

many covers you can snag for this film i won't let you down

What? Your mom called me.

She said you weren't answering your cell.

Ellie, she told me your dad's back from Afghanistan.

It's complicated.

I know.

Your father's sick. You haven't even been to see him yet.

Okay, I really don't want to talk about this.

You can't just avoid it. Watch me.

California. Sweet.

Two weeks of scratching, belching, not showering.

Good time.

Yeah, guys, about that. Hey, guys, thanks so much for letting me come.

No problem.

We gotta hit the road now if we want somewhere remotely warm to sleep.

Gets cold on the bus.

So much for scratching and belching.

I'm coming with you.

You sure this time?

Well, then welcome aboard.

I thought you'd hate me after I quit. When I heard you were going to this

I was so relieved. These young women in Hollywood, the losers, are so lame.

Talk about lame. I flew my friends down here, and they don't understand how

important these events are.

That's why famous people are friends with famous people, because we get it.

Paige, wait.

I'm worried about Ellie.

It's not the time, Marco.

Her dad's sick, and she's in total denial about it. She won't even talk to

Our red carpet time is 8 o 'clock.

Paige, Ellie's hurting.

I'll talk to her tomorrow.

This is my first red carpet.

I want to enjoy it.

Every papa gone mad.

Thank you. Hey,

you came.

Where's Marco and Paige? They wanted to come. They're busy.

But they send their love.

They're busy?

Yeah, Paige had stuff to do and Marco and I...

Hannah got into a fight.

Which you're not in the mood to talk about.

Affirmative. Okay, so what are you in the mood for?

Relaxing, which is practically impossible to do at Paige's mansion.

You can always crash with me.

With our track record.

You really think that's a good idea?

Come on, we're both in different places now.

And my condo is right on the beach.

And it's awesome.

Total escape from everything.

You're back.

Not for long.

You going home?

See your dad in the hospital?

I've decided to stay elsewhere.

Where?

Craig's.

Craig's?

Great idea. I'll replace one drama in your life with another one.

There's no drama between Craig and me. Now?

I still haven't forgiven him for the last round.

Come on, Ellie.

This guy is bad news for girls, especially you.

I'm over him.

And trust me, I know I don't need a relationship right now. Then what do you

need? A friend who doesn't judge me.

I promise I won't mention your dad again.

It's just, Ellie, I really think you're going to regret it if you don't go see

him.

Have fun with the movie crowd, Marco.

If you need me, I'll be at Craig's, trying to enjoy L .A.

That's the spirit, Eleanor.

I told you she would be fine. She might even score while she's here.

Anyway, you missed a Trey cool party. It was beyond words.

Our pictures are all over the web. Perez called you the newest celeb, you slut.

That's good, right?

Trey, great.

Why is there antennas on your head?

Sign of affection.

But of course you wouldn't know that.

Oh, why is that?

Because you're not in the biz.

Come on, Marco. Things are finally working out. Just be happy for me.

Please.

Look at this one.

Oh, my God. Do you realize how many people are going to see this? This is

Jay, great shortcut.

I can feel the radio waves drying my brain.

Not much to fry. Oh, shut up.

Oh, look out.

All right, get up.

Oh, nice.

Looks like a compression problem.

How am I supposed to prepare for my audition when we haven't had a moment of

silence since we left?

I need to think through the emotional beats of the song.

Mixed method takes concentration.

Can't practice singing in your head. Just go for it.

Fine.

Let me have a few minutes of quiet first.

I need to find my center.

Welcome to my train wreck, baby.

I think we're getting out of control.

I think we ought to tear this place down before the night gets... What?

That's not really how you're going to sing it, is it?

Very funny, guys. Let's freak Manny out before her big audition.

I still can't believe your ex slept with Caitlin. I know. It's gross, right?

I should get out of your way. You probably have

to get to the studio.

No way. I've got the whole day planned out for us. You do.

You're not tired?

No.

But, you know what? I've got this, um... I've got this song I want to play for

you.

I wrote it in rehab.

I was switched off like a light.

A fighter with no fight.

Staring up at the stars.

Giving into the dark.

Burned out like a match.

At the low end of...

I did things go so far.

Somehow you thought someone worth saving.

You pulled me back into the

I'm with Ashley.

We went on tour in Europe.

Two states.

And I came here.

It's so peaceful out there.

Yeah.

If I could swim, I'd wade out.

As far as I could go and get away from everything.

Thanks for the most amazing day.

And for that long.

I wrote it for you.

But I won't forget your grace.

Or the beauty of your face.

I can't wait any longer. I gotta go.

Still fussing over that thing?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I scanned the meter of the lyrics. I found the subtext. Maybe you're just

overthinking it.

Or I'm not good enough to figure it out on my own.

Mick was right.

I need him.

Give me my phone!

No more Professor Sociopath. Not on my watch.

Oh, I see. This is a game, right?

No, I just don't want you talking to him. Oh, and I should do what you want

because you know what's best for me, right? That's not what I'm saying.

Will you let me get it if I cry? If I tell you I'm stupid, I am fine. I'm

stupid. I'm an idiot.

I do everything wrong. How can I get my stamp off?

Look at what this guy's done to you.

Found in the bushes.

A phone.

There's no way that was Johnny Depp.

Why are you telling you it was him? He doesn't even live here anymore. He lives

in France.

God, I've missed you.

Craig?

There you are.

Yvette, you're back.

Uh, Ellie, this is Yvette, my girlfriend.

She was just in Maui for a modeling shoot.

Oh, that's awesome.

So, this is the Ellie. I've heard so much about you.

Yeah?

It's great to meet you.

Stay for dinner. I just ordered some sushi and there's more than enough for

of us.

Let me just go throw some clothes on.

Okay.

Gee, seems.

Nice. Very nice.

Your birthday party will be fab. We'll invite all the A -listers.

That's like I said something funny.

And voila.

Page is stuck totally on the rise.

But it's not my birthday.

It is now.

Happy 18th. Youth is king, according to IMDB.

I'm 19.

With all this party planning, how am I possibly going to learn all my lines for

tomorrow? You're so cute. You think you need to learn your lines.

Well, isn't that part of the job?

All the best actors improvise.

And directors don't care? Most encourage it. Keeps the material fresh.

Besides, who knows your part better than you do?

Well, Mews seems pretty particular about his words.

You're the star, Paigeie. If you don't start acting like it, this town will

all over you.

Happy 18th birthday to me.

You guys met at one of Craig's shows?

I was opening for Fall Out Boy.

Oh, he pulled me up on stage. Such a rock star move.

Was Craig like that in high school?

No, no.

Total nerd. He couldn't get a date to save his life.

Yeah, was that so?

He was awesome.

Any girl would be lucky to have him.

So things haven't changed much.

It's kind of late. I should go.

I thought you were staying here.

No. Marco called. I'm upset. Something about Taylor Kitsch at the Coffee Bean.

Just missing him. It was really nice to meet you, Yvette.

Ellie, wait.

I should have told you about Yvette.

No, you were trying to be a good friend, and I interpreted that as a romantic

overture.

Again.

I didn't mean to give you the wrong idea. I was just so happy to see you.

It's not your fault.

I just really have to stop thinking that my feelings for you will ever be

requited.

I had a really great time today.

So you woke up this morning and decided no more Casa de Craig?

Yeah, well, his girlfriend just got back from a modeling shoot in Maui, so I

decided to give him some space.

Which you're okay with?

Okay, I'm gonna go take this and read it by the pool, because I came here to

relax. You should try it.

Eleanor, must you shout?

Hey, aren't we supposed to be on our way to your rehearsal? Because it begins,

like, right now.

Nothing starts without the star.

Be a dear and get me my iPhone.

Just remember that Muse in this scene, he just caught a 30 -yard pass. He's

feeling good.

Ah, hey, sunshine.

I suppose you're late because you wanted extra time to learn your lines?

Of course.

All right, people, let's try this from the top. Scene five, and this time with

our actress.

Senior year, young Muse.

Just scored the winning point of the homecoming game.

He then approaches Trixie and... Hey, did you see that last catch?

Pretty slick, huh?

You, uh, think just because you're a football player, you're gonna score a

touchdown with me?

Dude, you got the line wrong again.

Look, can you just do it as scripted?

Unless in addition to being late, you still don't know your lines?

Of course I know them. It's just... I like my line better.

Why is that?

Because I know Trixie. I know the way she thinks, the way she talks, and

would never say, you're not my type, Goldilocks.

Yeah, she would, and she did to me. I was there.

And how many screenplays have you written?

You're a first -time writer -director. What do you know?

All right, if you're not going to do it my way, then get off of my set!

Fine. Yeah, fine.

God, he is such a diva.

Em,

I can't do it. The guys think I suck and Jay wants me to forget everything Mick

taught me. For the first time in my life, I agree with Jay Hogarth.

Yeah,

okay.

I'll see you soon.

Jay, come on. Can't you just turn the bus around so I can go home? Not a

Dimples, California, or bus.

We need some grub.

Fine.

I'll just find some other way to get home, then.

Come on, I'm hungry.

Hey, dude.

You should probably bring your instruments inside.

All right, you guys stay here. I'll get the grunt.

Yes, sir.

Why do you guys do everything he says?

Because Jay's off.

And he scares us.

Okay, that was freeway warriors. Wait.

Fishnet trucker. Up next for Open Night Tuesday, we have Manny Santos.

Do we have a Manny Santos?

It's right here.

No, no, no. Manny! Manny! Manny!

Manny! Manny!

Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny!

Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny! Manny!

Manny! Manny!

Manny!

You better get that butt on stage.

Let's hear it for Manny Santos, everybody.

Stage lead, sing something.

Welcome.

Welcome to my favorite baby.

I guess we're getting out of control.

I think we ought to tear this place down.

Before the night was over.

I know what you're after.

I believe the fresh disaster.

If you dare me, you know I'm gonna trash this chart now.

Let's move it. Nothing to do.

Keep it up till you can walk again.

Don't you wanna cry?

Another mojito, please.

Oh, slow down there, champ.

You know what?

There's a spot at the beach that is so, so beautiful. My phone keeps

interrupting my partying. It's your mother.

Are you going to take it?

Hey, Mom.

I have everything at home.

Of course I care.

Hello?

Mom?

I am glad you

came. Don't worry about apologizing. You were totally forgiven.

Forgiven for what?

For kicking me off set, of course. It was trey rude, but I'm over it.

Look, bad acting I can deal with, but Kevin told me not to let some chick with

bad attitude ruin my first film.

Are you trying to embarrass me in front of my guests, or is this a plan to

repair your damaged ego?

All right, for your information, I came here to get Trixie's tiara back.

Ow! You can't fire me. I'm the star.

You can't bury me. No, you're fired.

You are barely a star. You're more like a circle.

Well, the studio loves me.

You're such a drama queen.

We need to talk.

You okay?

What are you doing here?

So I have this life in L .A., right? And it's, um...

It's pretty perfect.

Dream job, dream apartment, great girlfriend.

Yeah.

And all of a sudden, you show up.

And suddenly, everything doesn't seem so perfect anymore.

That's what I do.

I'm the one who messes up people's lives.

No, Ellie, no.

Yeah, you know what? You should just stay away from me because...

You'll be better off.

Ellie.

Go.

Don't give it.

Craig.

Marco. Hi. Hi.

Let me go. We're not done talking. Yeah, you are, dude.

I didn't mean to upset her like that. Just let me go apologize.

Ellie's messed up.

She has way more serious things in her life to deal with.

Let me go. No. Let me go. Dude.

Hurry up and leave.

And you'll say your world's above her, yeah, yeah.

And you'll be much better off without her, yeah, yeah.

You never told us you could play the drums. There are many things you don't

about Jay Hogarth.

Thanks for pushing me out there.

What are you talking about, little shit?

Dude,

did you move the button?

It was right here.

Well, then where is it?

Hurry up and run, it's your last chance for fun.

Come on, hurry up, up, hurry up, up and run.

Come on, come on and go, you're the last one

to come on.

It's gonna be okay.

What were you thinking?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

You're gonna be okay, Beth.

Let's get you home.

I can't believe the bus was stolen.

I had thousands of dollars of designer clothes in those bags.

Yeah, those would come in handy on a road trip.

My stickers.

All gone.

Our sleeping bags.

Where are we supposed to sleep?

I've got a little bit of cash.

We'll check into a motel for the night and we'll figure out what to do.

Hello?

Oh, hi.

Yeah, we're close. We just ran into a glitch.

You're kidding.

Well, that's great.

I'm not really sure where we are right now, but don't worry.

I can make my own way there.

Thanks. I promise you, I won't let you down this time.

Okay.

We gotta go.

The bus is gone, remember?

Yeah, well, Paige is off the movie. That was Muse. He fired her and wants me to

play Trixie. That's great, Boo, but be reasonable.

You gonna walk all the way to Hollywood?

Whatever it takes.

I don't know, sir.

None of them are Manny. Manny's lost somewhere. What if she doesn't make it?

Excuse me, I knew I said I'd be your spiritual advisor through this little

filmic Chautauqua of yours, but you gotta find a Trixie that works for you,

okay? Right in here. And you know who that is. I think you should follow your

heart. I don't think you should sell out this quickly.

Took me years, dude. Years.

That's true. Thanks, sir.

Yeah.

Paige told me what happened. Now let's not overreact.

You insisted I use her, and I tried.

But not only is she a bad actress, she has a bad attitude.

Come on, work with me here.

Paige is prepared to accept an apology. You need me. This little girl is

creating some good buzz, and don't forget, we optioned your story.

The studio owns Musical High.

Look, I'm still director, and I'm recasting. I want Manny Santos.

Manny Santos?

Please. You're kidding. That girl with the terrible audition tape? You can't

have Manny.

You know, Paige, she's not my Trixie.

Then you're fired.

Fired? I quit.

Don't worry.

He doesn't mean it.

Oh, I think he does, hon.

I think he does.

So how long are you going to stay mad at me?

Until we get to Hollywood.

You know, we're not going to walk all the way there in time.

Are you insane?

Yes, I'm insane.

With rage towards you, I have to get that part.

And how could I possibly know that someone would want to steal a school

How could you possibly not know that leaving the keys in the ignition was a

stupid idea?

Guys! Yes!

Look over there!

Our Petite Problem, a list of really good directors. Any of them would be

perfect for musical high.

How can we possibly make a movie about Muse's life without Muse?

But you said he needed me.

You fired him. It was a bluff.

I thought he'd cave and we'd just make the movie, but you pissed him off.

And now you've gotten yourself a diva rep.

What? You didn't read Perez's blog today?

No one will work with you now.

I thought Perez loved me.

Things change fast around here.

You can keep the house for one more week.

Enjoy the pool.

Hey, I'll stay with Ellie.

You better get going.

Yeah.

I'm sorry for acting like such an idiot, wasn't I?

Sleeps.

I wasn't trying to kill myself.

I know.

Marco, um... You told me about your dad.

I should probably go. You're right.

When you're ready.

It wasn't even the fake thing.

You know, like... My mom...

And then you... My dad watched a soldier die.

I know I can't fix that.

No one expects you to.

Like, after you sleep, I'll make you some eggs.

If you survive that.

You need to print your attraction.

Do I know you?

Paige, Michael, Chuck, you wrote that Musical High got canceled because I was

being a diva.

Right. I remember now.

Unknown goes back to being unknown.

Well, you got it all wrong. It wasn't me being difficult. It was Muse.

Whatever. Your yesterday story.

No. No, no, please.

You have to help me. No one will return my calls. Then do something interesting.

Maybe then I'll write about it. Around here, you're only as hot as your latest

scandal.

Here.

An invite to the premiere of Pink Rifle.

Knock yourself out.

I got directions.

So if you figure out what's wrong, we can get to L .A.

I know what's wrong.

The fan belt broke.

There's nothing we can do about it.

It's over, babe. I failed you again.

I knew these $300 leggings were a good investment.

What are you doing?

An old trick that my mom taught me.

A car was always breaking down.

It should last until the next town.

Okay, try now.

Mia, fix the bus!

Now who's glad the girlfriend came along?

I'm going to L .A. Are you coming?

A baby bump.

I think that takes more time than we have releasing a wild sex tape.

Again, don't think we can manage to leak that by today's premiere. I'm just

trying to be helpful.

I need something to get my face out there today. This is my last chance.

I'm ready for my Brazilian.

That's it.

Thank you.

What? A commando shot. That'll do it.

Good one.

This is what you want to be famous for?

Flashing your business all around town?

Uh...

know, Marco.

What are you famous for?

Oh, that's right, nothing.

I was happy for you when you got this gig.

You know, I thought, hey, you'd finally grow up. I was wrong.

You know what would be really nice?

If you had the guts to actually do something with your own life instead of

whining and judging everyone else. Wow.

You are still the same insecure little girl that you've always been.

Ready for this.

No.

No, I can't hold his weight.

Look, a premiere.

Thanks for calling.

Stop the bus.

I just stopped an athlete.

Stop the bus, man.

Stop the bus.

You really think the photographers will catch this? Sure. There hasn't been a

good business shot in days.

It's no biggie. Just remember, hike up your skirt, look surprised, and slightly

naughty.

What am I doing?

Being smart.

This is your last A -list invite, remember.

You're right.

or no Ben Affleck. This trip was so worth it.

Clean up pretty good for a grease monkey.

At

least

someone's having fun.

They really want the distance.

You're lucky you still have friends.

They're hard to keep around here.

Fame and fortune isn't all it's cracked up to be.

All I ever wanted to do was act.

I don't even know what to do with myself now.

You and me both.

I guess Nick was right.

I'm never gonna make it in Hollywood.

Last can Jay drive that bus.

I should probably just go.

Security can take a while.

Yeah.

Thanks again for all your help.

You really came through for me.

Call it even.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

love you if you see me running back and i do wanna try

because

You put your world on hold for me.

Gave away to follow failure through the fire.

So meet me halfway.

The studio is really hot on your story and you directing it. Look, this isn't

just a movie, dude. It's the story of my life. And you messing it up?

I'm not interested.

I need you.

You complete me.

I even found you a new tricksy. The reality star, Hayley. something can't

worth a damn but if we double her voice we'll get big bang from the shores fans

back to me give it up suit man what are you doing here guys i'm not here about

me you just you need to come to the window now

Trust me, Robbie, you're going to want to see this.

That's my Manny.

Did you do this?

Trying to get at least one thing right.

Look, I'll do the movie if my Manny hears Trixie.

Looks like we're back in business, Mews.

Hey, Manny!

You're Trixie!

I got the part?

You are the part!

Let's go!

Two celebratory hot chocolates, please.

What are we celebrating? That you guys stopped making out long enough to go

skating? No, Manny's first day on set, and the students got a part in the

too. My brother's a movie star.

Date with Shia LaBeouf.

Man, he's the lead on the movie now. I used to date that girl, too.

I wonder how Paige is doing, though.

Your coffee, Mr. Muse? Black, five sugars.

Perfect. Thanks, dude.

Can I get you anything else?

I got my Trixie. I got my shot list.

It's all good.

All right, here we go.

Muse has tried all kinds of stuff to win over Trixie.

But here's where he lets all his natural music goodness all hang out. So Manny,

Michael, action!

Living on the wild side.

But you never got close

Work for you, dear?

Yes, sir.

Goodbye.

This bus isn't gonna get back to Degrassi by itself.

I'm really proud of you.

blue I will rescue you
