Original subtitles

The day in the life of Craig Manning. Ouch.

That's your title?

Encouraging as always, boss man.

What did that write about Craig? What became easy to you?

Not this morning.

Not after I found a baggie of Coke on his bedroom floor.

Telled me not surprised.

Had a feeling he was doing somewhere else.

What? Oh, hold on. Those drugs weren't Craig's. They belonged to his

Tweedledum.

Well, me thinks Tweedledum has been sharing her stash with Tweedledee, i .e.

Craig.

I .e., shut up.

Craig does not do coke.

You know this for a fact.

No, I don't. But what I do know is that I have to keep him away from Manny.

Long enough to make him realize that she's a toxic influence.

I have a new job for you. And for this one, you owe me.

Take him back Sunday. You're in town. And guess who's interviewing them today?

Jesse, you're the best.

Hey, Mr. Manning.

Uh, you're right on time. Ready for your big interview?

Actually, I don't know if I can right now. I gotta go clean out Joey's garage.

Oh, I'll come with. I can help.

Uh, Farash, you do have the Taking Back Sunday interview today.

And it's way more important than this whole Craig thing.

Both are important. Both will get done.

We'll not disappoint.

Promise.

I've been listening to your demo.

There's a recurring theme of home. Something you're preoccupied with?

Nah. When you're a musician, home is wherever your guitar is.

Okay, but that's funny because you left your guitar here.

I left a lot of things here.

A lot of people.

I always thought when I come back, they'll all be waiting.

You know, with big open arms and a smile.

And are they?

Nope.

Joey's selling this place and moving to Calgary.

All my old friends have moved on. You?

Well, I'm here.

No, not really.

You're busy. You've got, you know, university, journalism.

Jessie? Yeah, but I'm still here, Craig.

And I always will be.

I have to go.

Interview's over?

No.

Come with me. You can meet the band. It'll be fun.

I'm thinking of changing my name. What do you think of LL Cool D? It stands for

Ladies Love Cool Dance.

If anyone deserves that name, it's me. Based on what? Your fantasy life?

Dude,

that was a blind date.

What's that stench?

The loser from the grass.

Listen up, dorks.

Lakers has declared war on your school.

Why? Ask your friend the mascot.

JT York.

You know his name? Friend of yours?

Well, you tell JT we're gonna stomp his ass.

Hey! What's going on?

Let's go.

So,

sorry I'm late. Hi, hi.

Hi, Ellie Nash.

Friendly neighborhood music critic. Oh, hi. I'm Adam, your friendly neighborhood

singer. And I don't know, it's a band. We got, let's see, Fred, Mark, Ed, and

Matt. Hey, guys. Nice to meet you.

So your editor's been raving about you. He said you're his best writer.

He said you weren't my worst writer.

Oh.

Say, Craig, why don't you go get a coffee and let Ellie do her interview,

Sure. I'm going to get going now. I'll go see what Manny's up to.

Um, wait.

Craig, I want you to meet the band. Guys, this is Craig Manning, local

-songwriter extraordinaire.

Hey, Adam.

Hey, it's great to meet you guys. Make Damn Sure is one of my faves. Actually,

even do it in my set. Real different version, stripped -down acoustic.

Oh.

I wouldn't mind hearing that.

Right now?

Yeah. Um, you want to grab a guitar?

Sorry to interrupt, guys, but, uh, Ellie, we do have a deadline, so...

There's always time for a song, though, right?

Go on.

Is that you?

No. No, I'm not. Oh, I'm not.

Oh, yeah. You want to go?

Yeah. Hope you're enjoying that burrito, JT.

It's going to be your last.

What, are they taking these bad boys off the menu? No, but Lakers are going to

take you off the menu.

The menu of life.

We kind of got beat up this morning by Nick and the Lakers crew.

Nick's declared war on DeGrasse. But specifically on you.

Why?

Why me?

Was it because of that stupid basketball brawl? That was nothing.

It's not because of the brawl. It's because you're dating me. Let's just say

Nick's the jealous type.

That psycho was your ex?

Oh, so now it makes sense. This is about you, Mia. You're going to get us all

killed. Oh, yeah, Toby.

Way to make her feel good.

I'm sorry. I have this neurotic aversion to being murdered.

Lakehurst is not going to hurt anybody.

I'm going to handle it. What are you going to do, tickle him to death?

So, how did the tour go? Great.

Great. Except for when Adam hit me in the head with a microphone.

But that's another story.

All right, guys, we got to go record Station ID.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. She hasn't interviewed Adam yet.

Sorry, we're out of time.

See you back at the office, Brosh.

So get this.

The band has a break in their set tomorrow night. Guess who Adam invited

for the crowd?

Heck, that's amazing!

This could be huge for my career, Ellie, and it's all thanks to you.

You're... You're awesome. I gotta go. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, what

about our interview?

Come on, I gotta go see Manny. I gotta pull out the good news.

About time.

Let's go.

We got a lot of nerves showing up at our school.

Whatever.

Is this stupid war about me dating your ex? I don't care about Mia.

She's just a dumb slut.

Easy, mascot boy.

You want a war?

You got it.

Meet me in the tunnel tomorrow at five.

Mind if I bring my friends?

No?

Because I'll bring mine.

Ooh.

The chess club?

I'm scared.

Sorry.

About bringing Craig to the interview, it was unprofessional.

Yeah, it's okay.

Where is Craig, anyway? I thought you'd be interviewing him.

He bailed on me.

Went off to party with little Miss Manny.

Probably Jones and for Coke.

Nice.

Look, my best friend used to be an addict, okay?

I can see the signs pretty clearly. You can't see anything clearly, not when it

comes to Craig.

Jealous much?

I'm not jealous of some failed singer -songwriter loser that you're still

crushing on.

It's pathetic.

That is wrong on so many levels.

Now, you know what's really wrong? The fact that Craig keeps crapping on you,

and you keep going back for more.

Hey, why don't we go out tonight?

See a movie, grab a bite. Or we could stay in.

Because I happen to have some party favors.

You know, after we did that last night, I felt sick.

Horrible. I never want to do it again.

Cool. That's your choice.

Maybe. Look, this has been one of the best one or two days of my life.

Don't ruin it.

What are you doing?

I'm about to ruin one of the best one or two days of your life.

I'm dumping your ass, Craig.

Bye.

Ellie, just the girl I wanted to see. I have a present for you. Me and Craig

just broke up.

What? Yeah.

He has a little bit of a drug problem, if you haven't noticed.

I think you have that the wrong way around.

I found your loot bag, and I know the coke is yours. Craig told me.

Craig lied.

That's what drug addicts do, Ellie.

Good luck with him.

Question of the evening.

Who's more pathetic, you for lying to me about the drugs, or me for believing

you? Is that a trick question?

Is this funny?

Don't be mad.

Please. Just tell me the truth.

For once.

Okay. I... I started in Vancouver.

But I'm not an addict.

Drug cliche number one. I can stop, Ellie, anytime I want. Drug cliche

two. Look, what do you want me to say?

That I've got a problem? Yeah, I have a problem.

Great. I said it. What now?

You used to come to group therapy with me.

Remember?

Dr. Kenrick is great. He can help you.

So just come tomorrow, okay?

If you promise to stop being mad at me.

Rumble today at 5. Don't miss out on the Lakehurst ass -ticking action.

What are you guys, crazy?

Don't advertise it.

You said we had to form a posse.

Yeah, I got a couple guys on the basketball team. They'll probably back

Oh, good.

Hey, I heard you guys are organizing some battle against Lakehurst.

Uh, yeah.

You in?

Sure.

I'll roll over their feet with my chair. No, I'm not in.

Yeah, me neither, because this is a seriously bad idea.

Look, violence is a vicious cycle.

You guys are going to make a situation go from bad to worse.

Whatever, Budalicious. Go pick a flower. We're gonna kick some ass.

I didn't like you, JT.

I thought you'd be smarter than this.

Well, and I thought that you'd offer to join me. I'm not gonna fight Lakehurst.

You're being an idiot.

You're being a coward.

Some best friend.

Can we wait just a little longer?

I'm sorry, Ellie.

Let's get started.

The door, please.

First of all, I want to thank everybody for coming in this week.

I'm really proud to see all your faces again.

J .P.? Mia, what are you doing here?

Not only is this really stupid, it's incredibly immature.

No, it's not.

I'm being a man, Mia. This is how men handle things.

I broke up with Nick for a reason, J .P.

If you do this, it makes you no different than him.

Okay.

Everybody, let's go home.

Go, Jack.

Aidy, grassy nerd.

What are you guys doing here?

Your friends didn't show.

Sweetly taken at the thought. You are everything I want.

You are everything I'm not.

We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't.

We don't,

we don't, we don't, we don't.

We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't.

We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't.

Ellie,

hi.

About group therapy, listen, uh, something came up.

Hey.

Hey! What are you doing?

Either you stop now, or I call Joey and tell him about this. And this? This will

all end. The touring, the music career, finished. Come on, why would you do that

to me?

Just leave me alone, all right? I can't. Why not? Because. Because why?

You know why, Craig.

You know, so don't make me say it.

I love you, Ellie.

I love you too.

Don't make me stop.

Please.

I need it.

Don't call Joey.

You bastard.

How could you play with me like that?

Ellie, I'm sorry. What do you want me to say?

Nothing.

It's all going to be lies.

You'll say whatever it takes to get your... on this, won't you?

We'll be back up in a second to finish, but before that, stick around because we

have somebody special here to play a song for you, and I think you're going

like it. So, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage Mr. Craig

Manning.

Hey, here's a song I wrote a while back when I first left Toronto for Vancouver.

It's called Drowning.

I fly too close to the sun.

I chase the whale on the run.

But I'm, I'm jumping from mountains and I'm jumping from skies.

Try to realize my size.

Watch you.

What?

could they do this to you?

If there's anything you need, let us know.

Okay, Toby To?

I think you girls have done enough.

Hey, Tobes, here.

Look, I'm so sorry. It's okay, JT.

No, it's not.

Well, you know, look at the bright side. Maybe it's over. Maybe beating someone

up was all they ever wanted.

Well, maybe.

But, you know, I don't care.

They're gonna pay for what they did to you. Look, Violence for violence only

leads to the deepening of the darkness in the deepest dark. Wait, that didn't

come out right.

Look, just promise me you'll let this go.

Promise me, JT.

Okay. Promise.

No. Sorry.

You're on the 11 a .m. to Calgary.

Joey's waiting for you at the airport.

I guess you're here to make sure I get on the plane, right?

No, um, Mr. Simpson is.

I'm leaving.

Ellie, I know I messed up.

Badly.

But I am glad for one thing.

I was finally able to be honest with you.

I meant what I said.

And I felt that way for a long time. No, just don't. Don't. Just... It's beside

the point. You need help.

I know.

I know.

I'm going into rehab or whatever, but when I get out, maybe we could...

Craig.
