Original subtitles

- It's complicated. That's what people say when they think you can't handle

what they're talking about. Like geometry. Or world peace.

Or relationships. But doesn't that just teach us

that things that are complicated are scary and bad?

Can't complicated just be complicated?

Or even better, can't we find a way to simplify?

And then I perform my special bicentennial song,

which I still have to finish writing... with Tyler and Piper

on backup vocals. - And I get my minions

to pull down the tarp, make a short speech, reveal our barn quilt and say:

"That's all, folks. Hope you enjoyed it, because none of you will be around

for the tricentennial." - Nice job, ladies.

Although, I think you could lighten up the end.

This event's getting a lot of buzz. Local businesses

have sold all their tickets and we're on track to make over 25 grand.

- Oh! That's a lotta Hamiltons. - How do you plan on spending the money?

- A robot. A monkey. A robot monkey.

- I've got a committee working on ideas. Now, say goodbye to your friends.

You've got homework. - Ladies, I bid you farewell. - Hey.

Has Tyler ever said anything about me?

I think he was sending out vibes.

Oh no. Do you have a crush on him?

- Me. Have a crush on Tyler Flaherty? - He's cute.

- Sure, if you're into classic good looks with a touch of roguish charm.

- He's the only guy in town who cares about something other

than sports, video games, or jokes about bodily functions.

- Wait. Do YOU have a crush on Tyler Flaherty?!

- More like a crushlet. But if you swear you don't like him,

I'm gonna start sending vibes back and we'll see what happens.

- I... I don't. - Great.

Now that we're friends, I'd never want a boy to get between us.

- Stop wiggling! - I'm not wiggling.

- Oh, you are definitely going to make an impression on stage in this.

Look at you. Cute as a doll.

- I don't wanna look cute!

- And I don't wanna be a stone cold fox, but facts are facts.

Who put those bees in your bonnet?

Is it Amy? Your dad said you two still haven't worked things out.

- Well, there's that and... - You still haven't finished your song for the bicentennial?

- And that... Plus...

Piper wants to start sending Tyler vibes.

- And this is a problem because?

- We're too young, obviously. - Obviously.

- It is NOT a crush. I just don't want Piper to start liking Tyler,

and Tyler to like her back, because the thought of them getting together

makes me want to-- - Toss your cookies? - Yes.

- Sounds like a crush to me. - It's all Tyler's fault.

Last night, I was feeling particularly vulnerable,

and, well, he called me... "amazing".

- Jerk. - I know.

What should I do? - First, you have to figure out what you want.

- I want to go back in time and erase the last 24 hours. - Until time travel exists,

maybe talk to Piper? - Right. OK.

Yeah.

- Maybe you wanna change first. - Good idea.

Thank you.

Hey, so remember how I said I didn't have feelings for Tyler Flaherty?

Of course you do, it was like three hours ago.

Anyway, well, surprise!

Oh, hi.

- Piper can't talk right now.

- Stand down, Abbasi.

I don't care if Holly knows. My mom and I are moving to Des Moines.

- But... I thought you loved it here. - I do.

But my mom can't find work,

and if we can't find $500 for rent, we're gonna get kicked out of our house.

- I'm so sorry.

I wish there was something I could do.

- OK, new subject.

You said you needed to talk? Something about the bicentennial?

- Yeah, I just...

I agree with the mayor. I think we should change the last line.

We may not want to call out humanity's fragile existence. Who knows,

maybe we'll even find a way to reverse global warming before the ocean rises

and obliterates most of the country.

OK.

(rock music)

Oh, nice costume.

And Grandma said time travel wasn't possible.

- Hey, Holly. Just practising for the showcase.

Your old man's still got it, huh?

- As long as you don't want me to define what "it" is, yes.

You have still got it. - Hm. What's up, sweetheart?

- So, I wanted to ask you if I could get

an advance on my allowance, and I know it's going to seem

like a lot but-- - Yeah, how much?

- $500.

- Did someone kidnap your horse? - No.

- Then how could you need so much money?

- Look, I can't tell you,

but I promise I'd never ask if it wasn't important.

- Well, times are tough,

but there's a fifty underneath the cookie jar.

I know it doesn't get you close to your goal, but... - It's still a start.

Thank you, Dad.

- I think we need more glue.

- So you just gave Holly $50? - Don't you trust our kids?

- Yes. To run away to Chicago, drive underage and get engaged. I mean, for all we know--

- How long have they been at it? They sound just like my parents did

right before they...

- My parents are not... They're in love.

- When was the last time you saw them do something romantic together?

- I don't keep track of that stuff. - So you don't remember.

And would you say they have common interests? - Not really.

Besides, everyone knows opposites attract. - Actually, that's a myth.

Relationships that aren't based on common interests and values

do not work.

- Where are you getting this junk from?

"Are my parents getting divorced? A comprehensive checklist."

- Check four or more and your parents are headed to Splitsville. But don't worry.

Divorce is no biggie. When my parents called it quits, I got tons of cool crap.

- I can only check three. So there. - Ooh!

You know? Cornstarch might help. I think there's some in the pantry.

- Before you go, Mrs. Hobbie, is that a new shade of lipstick?

- Yes, it is. It's Mango Tango. Just thought I'd switch it up.

- Roger that. - Since when do you notice my mom's makeup?

- "Have you noticed a change in your parent's appearance?"

And then there were four.

- These boots are definitely not made for walking.

- You know, you could really use an extra hand around here.

Piper's mom's looking for some work.

- She came by, she was really nice; it's not in the budget.

Your open mics really help to keep the doors open, but we're still scraping by.

- Still waiting on those refills.

- You rest those tootsies.

- So it's unanimous? We spend the money on planters for Main Street?

Great. I'll get my landscape artist to write up a quote.

Any questions? - How are you going to spend the rest of the money?

We raised over $25,000.

You can't possibly be spending it all on planters.

- We also need flowers. Not mums, though.

Too generic. Oh! Verbena!

- Don't you think there might be a better use for the money?

- Uh, who doesn't love flowers? - I know, but-- - Holly,

with the bicentennial tomorrow, we have quite a bit to do, here.

Did you finish your song yet? - Well, no, but it's almost--

- Better get to it.

- UGH!

Oh, hi.

Do you need something? - Yeah, my mom forgot her phone.

- Great. I mean,

not great that she left it, but great that you're here with it.

You're a very responsible son.

What are you doing?

- Trying to get inside.

- Yeah, of course you are. What?

- Oh, young love! (barking) - No!

- Martha Wainwright!

Is the mayor inside? I have to drop this money off for the bicentennial committee.

(barking) Shush! Not again!

Would you take this money inside?

- Yeah, of course. - Shh, shh!

- "Dear Ms. Parish,

"please find the enclosed salary owed to you

"for your final week at the pickle factory.

Sincerely, Katherine Hobbie."

- I love parades! But not as much as I love you. - I think I'm gonna be sick.

- Who's that guy talking to your mom? - That's Luke Floyd.

He went to high school with Mom and Dad. I think he's some bigwig for the government now.

- They look very, uh, friendly. - Stop.

You heard Robbie, they just went to high school together. - But I think they used to date.

- Hey, Chase!

(imitating a guitar riff)

- Better hurry up or we'll have trouble finding a place to watch the show.

- Oh, we have trouble alright. - What?

- Luke's back in town? - And he showed up at the worst possible time--

when you and Mom are about to, you know...

- This is your doing, isn't it?

- I think I hear... the wind.

- Look, things have been a little stressful lately,

but your mom and I have made it through much worse.

- Dad, it's this laissez-faire attitude that's gotten us here.

You need to do something ROMANTIC and FAST.

- Holly! Holly!

You'll never believe what happened!

- OK, no, no, no. Not today. Not today. - Why are we jumping?

- My mom got a letter from the pickle company with $500!

They forgot to pay her for something or other.

It's enough that we can stay for at least another month.

- Piper, that is great!

Holly, can I speak to you?

- Yeah, sure, Grandma. I'll meet you backstage.

- OK, so I know that Piper's mom

didn't get the extra money from the pickle company.

- I borrowed it from the bicentennial fund.

But they haven't noticed that it's missing and I'm gonna pay it back.

- It doesn't matter why you do it, stealing is wrong.

- I know.

- This is unforgivable! - I know,

and it was totally impulsive and I'm sorry and I plan to repay you as soon as I sell my guitar.

- The Parishes need to give the money back.

- But they need the money more than this town needs stupid planters!

- Well, life isn't always fair. - Well, shouldn't we be doing whatever we can to change that?

Shouldn't those of us who have more try to be helping those who don't?

Can I at least wait to tell Piper until after the show? - After what you did,

do you think I trust you to get back on stage?

Get the money back, Miss Hobbie.

- I'm so sorry, Piper.

- I'll go find my mom and get the money.

(Mrs. Hobbie laughing) - I forgot how funny you were!

It's so good to see you. - Hey, Luke.

Honey, can I speak to you for a second? - Yeah. One sec.

Hey. - Do I have anything to worry about?

- Um...

- Oh gosh, Heather was right.

- Wait a minute. How does Heather know?

- Levi told her. - I guess you can't keep any secrets in a small town.

- I won't accept this.

I will not let you leave me for Luke Floyd.

- OK, wait. See that man over there?

That is Luke's husband. - Oh, that...

Oh. - Yeah.

- So, wait, what were you talking about earlier? - Well, Luke,

he works for the government in Madison and he offered me a job.

- In Madison. - Mm-hmm.

Working for social services. It would only be three days a week.

I could do things that impact people's lives. - In Madison.

- Look, you know that I've never been happy working at the pickle factory.

I just really need this right now.

- I need my wife in our house. With our family.

- Hey, Dad. You're needed backstage. - Thanks.

- I know I'm a horrible person.

No need to kick me when I'm down.

On second thought, I probably deserve to be kicked.

So go ahead, take your best shot.

- What's going on?

- I'm proud of you.

- For breaking bad?

- For trying to help Piper. It was brave.

- Does this mean you still want to be friends?

- I never didn't want to be friends.

I was just mad

at how you handled the whole birthday party situation.

- Not my finest hour, I'll admit.

I was just mad

that you cared more about Piper's problems than mine.

- Piper's problems were bigger. - And I get that now.

They're also more important than spending thousands of dollars

on flowers for Main Street. - Preach.

- Can we go back to the hugging thing?

- Hey. You got room for one more?

- I'm so sorry. I was trying to make things better,

but instead I just made one huge mess. - It's OK.

- No one stuck up for me like you did.

Even if it didn't change things, it meant a lot.

- I'm sorry to interrupt the tender moment, but...

if you and Holly are here, who's MC-ing the show?

♪♪♪♪♪♪

- (Tyler): Thank you for coming to celebrate Collinsville's bicentennial.

(applause)

There's someone who's worked very hard to make today possible

and they love this town more than anyone else I know.

And her name is...

Holly Hobbie.

(applause)

- OK, Tyler. Keep it moving.

- But Holly isn't allowed on stage because she borrowed

some money from the bicentennial fund.

But it was to help someone in need. A friend. I'm learning that living in this town

isn't easy for a lot of people.

And I don't think Holly should be punished

for helping one of them. (cheers and applause)

So if no one disagrees,

I'd like to invite her up so she can share something with you.

(cheers and applause)

- Thank you, Tyler.

I'm kind of at a loss for words.

Which, if you know me, doesn't happen very often.

But I think this song explains everything I'm feeling.

- You certainly have your hands full with that spitfire.

Where's Katherine? - Mad.

Because I told her she couldn't take a fancy job in Madison.

She says she wants to live there three days a week. - Good for her. You know how much that woman has sacrificed for you? Coming back here

to help run the farm after Dad died, when she wanted to stay in the city?

Katherine has helped you realise so many of your dreams.

Now it's your turn. You have to help her realise hers. - Without me.

- This isn't about you, it's about Katherine.

Of course, if you don't support her that could change real quick.

I've been watching Holly try to change the world this year

and it's reminded me that's what I wanted to do, too. And...

And look, I know that it won't be easy. - Well,

if it's what you want, I support you 100%.

- So does that mean that you're volunteering to tell the children?

- Hmm... - Yeah? - Maybe.

- On second thought, I think your parents are just fine.

- I didn't want them to be that fine.

- That's my son.

(cheers and applause)

Well, that's all from me, folks.

Actually, it's not. Piper?

- What's going on?

- The mural. - Oh, right!

Holly and I came up with the idea to make this mural

when we were trying to find a way to recognise all the incredible people in this town.

Drop it!

(exclamations)

(cheers and applause)

I'm gonna miss you guys a lot. I wish I didn't have

to say goodbye.

- Maybe you don't. A few months ago,

my grandmother and I asked for your help to save the Calico,

and you came through.

Now Piper's family needs some help.

And I'm sure there are other families that do, too.

This event raised over $25,000.

What if we used the money to create a fund that anyone in the town could access

when times get tough? - That money is to beautify our town.

- What's more beautiful than helping others?

- Oh, you're right.

Let's do it. What a wonderful idea, Miss Hobbie.

(cheers and applause) - Guess today's all about PDA.

Your mom and your dad.

You and Tyler. It's obvious

you have a crush on him. Why didn't you tell me?

Is it because you felt bad about my situation?

- Partially. But also because...

I don't know if I'm ready for what's next.

- Whatever you choose, you don't have to worry about me.

- I think this belongs to you.

- I'm sorry, but I cannot accept that. Times have changed.

I think that we should get some necklaces that represent the new addition to our group.

- Aw, that's so sweet. I'm touched.

(giggling) - To new friends!

- And old friends! - And... Wait, is there any other type of friend?

(laughing)

- So maybe some situations don't have simple solutions,

and maybe that's OK.

Because I believe as long as you have the right people working together,

you can make the impossible, possible.

Let's do really great things together.

Let's be the change. See you real soon.
