All language subtitles for S05E20 - W.S.O.A.

That's School of the Arts radio playing
requests for you. Too late now, Jesse.

I took him over an hour ago.

What? Hell.

That ain't working.

That's the way you do it. Money for
nothing and your chicks for free.

We've got her. We've got her. She's on
the phone.

I don't know, but I think you better
watch your man. You better watch your

You're trying to trace his call, aren't
you?

I'm going to live forever.

Baby, remember my name.

That's your name.

That's your name.

But tonight, gotta speed away, yeah,
yeah, yeah.

Time's been right.

Yo, what up, skis? It's just the last
time for a little wild style. Coming to

you from radio station WSOA 93 .2 on
your dial.

That's School of the Arts Radio playing
requests for you. And the number is 555

-WSOS. So keep those calls coming in.
And now...

Courtney, you asked for it. You got it.

Cheers.

WSOA taking requests.

Would you go out with me?

Ma 'am, this is a radio station, not a
dating service.

What do you look like?

Yo, man, you don't have to twist my arm.

Spritzky's one of my favorites.

Okay.

WSOA. You don't know me?

Oh, yes, I do, and I've played that song
for you five times already this week.

Why don't you pick something else,
something a little more up?

I'm not in an up mood.

How about some wham?

How about, um, you don't know me? How
about later?

W -S -O -A. Will you play something by
Wayne Newton for me?

No, I wouldn't.

W -S -O -A.

So I told him it would take at least
three more months for that to happen.

Did you think that?

What? And that?

I don't believe it.

Watch. Are you blind, Mr. Sharofsky? Our
students, the last one was wearing a

corset over her dress.

Obviously, you don't read keen things.

Don't you find that obscene?

Obscene? No way. Get with it, Mr.
Dernford.

This is the McDonald's. It's hip.

It's the hippest.

I'm beginning to worry about you,
Benjamin.

I just want you to know that I think the
whole thing is completely undemocratic.

That's all.

Well, you're certainly entitled to your
opinion, Miss Chapman.

I mean...

define it as too short.

Well, thank you for calling, Miss
Chapman, and defending the inalienable

of American women to wear their skirts
as short as humanly possible.

Let me just add that any student caught
violating the dress code will be written

up by the hall patrol and dealt with
accordingly.

WSOA, you're on the air.

Well, I gotta say that our principles
flipped out. I mean, this isn't Nazi

Germany, man.

Nazi Germany?

Who is this?

Hey, man, I might be stupid, but I'm not
that stupid.

WSOA, you're on the air.

I'd just like to say that I totally
agree with our illustrious principal.

Good of you to call, Dwight.

Dwight? Who's Dwight?

I didn't say I was Dwight.

Not only that, I don't think the dress
code goes far enough.

I think we should have uniforms.

You're not helping, Mendenhall.

Mendenhall? I don't know any Mendenhall.

Well, I can see that any intelligent
dialogue on this subject is out of the

question, so I'm going to take my leave.

Thank you very much, Mr. Velasquez.

The dress code still stands.

Oh, well, not much for democracy. But
now, back to some music.

It's time to sanctify yourself.

Hey, Velasquez.

A fabulous idea for your radio show. Not
interested, darling.

I think it's nice you're playing the
major groups and everything, but every

radio show does that.

What about a little live entertainment?

Like me.

A little razzle -dazzle, these vocal
chords, and it's over, right? I can't,

darling. See, if I give you the
opportunity, man, then I gotta give it

other kids. It just wouldn't be fair.

Sorry. Hey. Hi, babe.

How about if you let me and my all -girl
band perform live in the booth tonight?

Okay, you got it. Okay.

Great. Hey.

I thought you said I couldn't sing in
the booth because it wouldn't be fair to

the other kids, and you just gave Nicole
a cookie head. I know that, Donovan. I

was there.

Explain it to me.

Well, she's my girlfriend, see?

And I've got a certain amount of power
here, and I'm abusing it.

Uh -oh!

I hate to come down to your level and
become a D .W.

Basic woman.

I don't need that.

That's what I get for being in the
neighborhood.

Where's my jewelry?

Can we talk?

If you want to be sure, you must go
powder your nose. Go on and powder your

nose.

Because you want to look good when you
step on the floor.

That's why I've got a meeting in the
Lady Blue.

I'll be back real soon.

I've got a meeting in the Lady Blue.

I'll be back.

Nicole Chapman and her all -girl band,
and you heard them live right here on

WSOA, taking requests.

And now it's time for Is It Love?

WSOA, taking requests.

Hi, this is Steve, and I have a request.

Yeah, name it, Steve -o.

Can I have Nicole Chapman's phone
number?

No, but I'll tell you what, why don't
you give me your number, and I'll come

over and rearrange your face.

WSOA. I think it's grossly...

to allow your actual girlfriend to sing
in the actual booth. Is that it,

darling? Yeah.

Keep it calling. W -S -O -E.

You don't know me?

Listen, why do you keep asking me to
play that song?

Maybe because I need to hear it.

Nobody needs to hear a song. I do.

Okay, so buy the record.

Don't you care about people?

Don't you ever wonder what they're
feeling?

Did you ever think?

That some of us might be hurting.

Look,

I'm sorry.

I'll play it for you, okay?

No. Hey, don't do me any favors.

Who's that?

Weird girl. She calls Jesse every night.

She does? Why?

I don't know. Why don't you ask him?

I think I will.

W -S -O -A.

Okay, I don't see what you're getting so
upset about.

I really don't. There's a lot of things
that you don't know about me. Yeah, like

what? This is a man.

Try me.

Who's there? Is somebody else there?

No, she's nobody. It's my engineer.

I just need somebody to talk to.

About what?

I don't know.

I just, I just don't know.

Right there, young lady.

What do you call that outfit?

Chic. I must say,

I'm shocked.

You're shocked? Honey, you should have
seen the price tag.

Aren't you afraid it might set a bad
example for the student body?

If you must know, I have a very
important audition today for a show, and

wanted to look my best.

Miss Grant, do the words fashion victim
have any meaning for you? Oh, come on,

Mr. Derenforth. Clothes should be for
fun.

Don't you ever want to let your hair
down?

You may not have noticed, but I don't
happen to have very much hair.

And even if I did, I wouldn't feel the
need to let it down. Don't you even have

any clothes that you like to put on just
for fun?

Just to break loose, just to get crazy?

Never.

Not even at home?

That's not funny.

Hold it right there, Mr. Universe.

What's this?

Indeed an explosion.

Flashing quite a bit of muscle there,
aren't we, Mr. Donlan?

Why, this comes natural, man. What do
you want me to do, hide it? That's what

do.

Yes. Hey, Donlan.

You got to do something right up, huh? I
don't know if that's you.

And here comes zap number two.

I see three inches above a very lovely
name as Higgins.

To me, that's many.

Don't feel bad. You're not alone.

That write -up makes 45 so far.

The first period hasn't even started
yet.

God, I love power.

I don't want to tell you my name. I
don't like it.

Anyway, my life's just like one big
letdown, you know? Like my not getting

accepted to school this year.

I mean...

I tried so hard at those auditions, and
I didn't make it.

You know, I just guess my Juliet wasn't
very good.

It's just like, you know, there's
nothing that I'm good at.

I bet that your Juliet was great. Oh,
yes, I'm great. They gave me a big fat

Oh, come on. It couldn't have been that
bad.

Yeah, well, I'm just not sure it's worth
it, you know.

You're just not sure what's not worth
it.

Well, Ann?

Well, it looks like we have a potential
suicide on our hands.

Wow.

Now, you have been consultant
psychiatrist to the board for a long

Do kids usually follow through on these
things?

Not always.

but often enough, too often.

So what comes next, Mrs. Strong?

If she calls back, try to hold her on
the line long enough for the police to

trace her. Do you think you could do
that, Jesse? Me? Shouldn't you be doing

this? You have a relationship with her.

She probably wouldn't trust anybody
else.

What am I supposed to say?

Kids think that now is forever.

Try to make her understand that no
matter how much pain she's in, it will

I'll try.

I'm gonna sing you a cat's hat song.

About when your baby done do wrong.

trying to trace any call. Why are you so
paranoid?

Any luck?

They're trying. He hasn't been on long
enough yet.

Looks like he's been on forever.

I have to go now.

No, wait. Don't go.

For what?

Will you call me again tomorrow night?

I don't think so, Jesse.

Why not?

I won't be around tomorrow night.

Why? What are you going to do?

What do you think?

Don't. Let me talk to you.

We've been talking.

I mean face to face.

What do you think? You think I'm stupid?

You're trying to trick me.

You think I'm going to fall for that so
you can play Boy Scout for a day? So

that you can bring the police and tell
your friends how you saved some pathetic

16 -year -old from doing herself in?

No thanks.

We lost her.

WSOA. You promise not to bring anyone?

I promise.

Where?

Lighten up, kid. You look a little
nervous.

No, I just feel like I'm betraying you.

I think if at this point you might be
saving your life, you can find her and

tell her parents, see if there's any
prior history, get her some help. I

So why don't you let me bring you a tall
shake and a burger, a compliment from

the New York City Police Department. No,
thanks. Take it from me. I want to make

it look good.

Okay.

Lieutenant. Yeah.

Make that a meeting matter.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You don't know me We could work
something out

I'm sorry I think I got you mixed up
with somebody else

Hey, stranger, what are you doing here
without me? You can't stay here.

Stop asking questions. Just get out of
here.

Nicole! We have to take him. No, no, no.
That's not her.

What's going on here?

Nothing much. I think we just flew.

Such a jerk.

Why? It wasn't your fault.

I should have told you.

Maybe she... Just because we blew it
doesn't

mean that she's... I know.

I just wish she would have called.

Yeah.

You know, Jess...

Just because someone says they're going
to do something like that doesn't mean

that they are.

I mean, we've all had times like that,
right?

Yeah.

You're the girl who has everything.

There have been times when I felt like I
didn't have everything.

I felt like I was different from
everybody else.

And lonely.

And what do you do?

I hope so.

I'll just go to my room and cry until
it's all over.

I'll call a friend, talk to my mom.

You know, because I always know that
tomorrow I'm going to feel better.

I don't think this girl knows that.

I'll be around if you need me.

I wouldn't give up just yet.

I have a few connections at the police
department.

There were two incidents in this
precinct last night. Both boys.

I know.

Why do I feel like I let her down?

It's only natural, but you didn't. You
tried to help her.

She probably hates me.

I doubt that.

You're just about the only person she
could talk to about this. Right now.

You're all she's got. Right now.

There is a right now.

Damn it. I know she was there last
night. I could feel it.

It's funny, you know.

I don't even know what she looks like.

But I feel like I know her.

Like I really know her.

I don't know.

I helped with the midterm auditions this
year. I probably even saw her.

That's it.

That's it.

The midterm auditions.

Hello?

Mrs. Fuller?

Is your daughter home, Mrs. Fuller?

Jesse Velasquez.

I'm calling from the School of the Arts.

I know, yes, I know that she wasn't
accepted.

But she auditioned with a monologue from
Romeo and Juliet earlier this year.

And... To Europe?

Right after the audition.

Right.

Well, I hope she loves Paris.

Bye.

It's like trying to find a needle in a
haystack.

Finding a needle would be easier, Miss
Sherwood.

Of 340 female Africans, 64 auditioned
with Juliet.

I wish there was something we could do.

I feel so helpless.

Well, where there's life, there's hope,
Miss Sherwood. I didn't mean that

literally. I meant that figuratively. I
guess I did mean that literally.

Mr. Durenforth?

Would you come with me, please, sir?

I think we have an emergency on our
hands.

That's all I need is another emergency.

The auditorium.

I don't see any emergency, Mendenhall. I
see a rehearsal.

That's far from a rehearsal, sir.

These kids are on detention.

I cited them for violating our dress
code.

So then this is a protest.

I think that's obvious.

Look at them yo -yo, that's the way you
do it. You play the guitar on MTV.

That ain't working, that's the way you
do it. Money for nothing and your chicks

for free.

Now that ain't working, that's the way
you do it.

Let me tell you, them guys ain't dumb.

Maybe get a picture on your little
finger.

Maybe get a picture on your thumb.

We gotta install microwave oven, custom
kitchen delivery.

We gotta move these refrigerators. We
gotta move these colored TVs.

I should have learned to play the
guitar.

I should have learned to play them
drums.

Look at that mama.

She's got it sticking in the camera.

Man, we could have had some fun.

We got an in -store microwave oven.

Custom kitchen delivery.

We gotta move these refrigerators. We
gotta move these color TVs.

Now that ain't working. That's the way
you do it. You play the guitar on MTV.

That ain't working. That's the way you
do it.

Money for nothing and your chicks for
free.

Money for nothing and your chicks for
free.

Money for nothing.

Any ideas about what kind of punishment
would be fitting, sir?

Yes.

None.

None? We're having a good time, Mr.
Mendenhall. Why should we rain on their

parade? Because it's fun.

The dress code was a dumb idea. Forget
it.

You know, funny, that's just what I was
about to say.

Today, sir, we are in sync.

Money for nothing and your checks for
free.

Money for nothing.

Money for nothing and your checks for
free.

No, no, there wasn't any mistake you
weren't accepted No,

I was just I was just calling to remind
you to try again next year

Yeah, okay, thank you

Last one

Yeah Now you said so

yourself There were at least 30 numbers
that didn't answer Now one of those is

probably her And I'll bet you she's
sitting at home right now

There's a very special friend out there.

If you're listening, and I hope you are,
this is for you.

You put your hand in mine And then you
say

hello And I can hardly speak

My heart is beating fast

and anyone can tell you think you know
me well

well you don't know me no you don't know
the one

who dreams of you at night and longs to
kiss

your lips and hold you tight to you

I'm just a friend

That's all I've ever been.

You don't know me.

I never knew the art of making love.

Though my heart beats with love for you.

Afraid and shy, I let love pass me by.

Chance that you might want to love me
too.

You put your whole hand in mine and then
you say goodbye.

I'd rather you walk away without a lucky
guy to never,

never know the one who loves you so.

Jesse?

Jesse?

Now we have a little Manic Monday for
you here on WSOA, School of the Arts

Radio.

I don't know what I was expecting. It's
just a song.

Crummy song.

Look, it's still early.

WSOA!

And now you give yourself a shot. What's
next, man? Listen, Donald, do me a

favor, man. I can't talk right now, all
right? Sure you can't talk. You're too

busy singing or letting your loved ones
do it. Man, I don't want to get into it

with you right now, all right? Hey, if I
make out with you, do I have a chance

then?

Hi.

Thanks for the song, Tessie.

That was so beautiful.

Where are you?

You blew it last night.

You really blew it.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I was... It doesn't matter.

Nothing matters.

You're wrong.

It does matter.

Everything matters.

You matter.

I don't get it, Jesse.

I mean, you don't even know me.

Why do you care so much?

I don't know.

I just do.

I just want you to know that you're not
alone.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

It's too late now, Jesse.

I took them over an hour ago.

Took what?

Pills.

I took a whole bottle of them.

I took a pill.

Pills. What kind of pills?

Sleeping pills from my mother's cabinet.

How many? How many did you take?

A lot.

All right, you've got to tell me where
you are.

You've got to.

I'm not going to tell you, Jesse, so
stop asking.

Look, I know how you're feeling right
now. I know you're depressed. I know you

think it's the end of the world, but
it's not.

It'll pass.

No, it won't. But what if you're wrong?
I mean, look at everything that you've

been giving up.

Your family, your friends, everything.

I mean... I mean, the best things in
your life haven't even happened yet.

Don't you want to get married? Have
kids?

What's so funny?

Married?

I can't even get a date. Sure you can.
I'd go out with you.

Yeah, well, we tried that already,
remember?

Are the police tracing this or what?

They're trying.

What's taking them so long?

Yeah? Jesse, I'm waiting for an answer.

About what?

Our date.

You know, the one your girlfriend
interrupted.

She's pretty.

What's her name?

Nicole.

Figures. What does?

That she'd have a pretty name.

I have a dumb name.

What is your name?

You'll laugh.

No, I won't.

You promise?

Promise.

Roberta.

I found it.

I found it. It's your turn.

It's the only one here.

A lot of kids get depressed.

I mean, even I get depressed sometimes,
but I never... Very sleepy?

No! Don't go to sleep. Whatever happens,
do not go to sleep.

The name's Stevens.

Roberta Stevens.

541 East 38th Street. There's no
apartment number. Please, hurry.

Can I ask you something?

Why today?

I don't know.

Maybe because it's cold.

I don't know. Maybe there is no reason.

Maybe it's just today.

I don't know what to say anymore.

Just hold on to her.

Listen to me, Roberta.

Listen to me.

I'm listening.

I bet. I bet I remember what you look
like.

Yeah, I remember you from the auditions.

You don't remember me.

Nobody ever notices me. Yeah, well, I
did.

You're about 5 '5", 5 '6". Yeah.

And I remember you having short hair,
right?

It's a lucky guess.

You lied to me. You're pretty.

No, I'm not.

If you are.

Guys don't think so.

Yeah, well, I'm a guy, and I'm telling
you, you're pretty.

Squad car, block and a half from that
house. There's no one home at that

address.

Find out where she is. What do you think
I've been doing? I've asked her over a

hundred times already.

Ask her again.

You do it. I don't want this kind of
responsibility.

All right, give it to me.

Roberta, are you there?

Okay, I'm going to level with you. We're
running out of time.

Where do you get this wee stuff?

What, is that supposed to be funny?

This isn't a joke.

You're throwing your life away.

Think about it.

When you fall asleep, you won't wake up
ever again.

You will cease to exist. Do you
understand?

Why are you saying this to me?

Why don't you just leave me alone?

Leave you alone? You called me,
remember?

You said you picked today because it's
raining.

Okay, so it's raining.

Tomorrow the sun could be shining.

Only you won't be around to see it. What
about that?

Stop it.

You tell me that you've never been
happy. I don't believe you.

What about the first time you ever
brought a puppy home?

Or what about Rocky Road ice cream? Tell
me that doesn't make you happy.

Or hot dogs and pizza.

Or Woody Allen movies.

God, there's so much.

Tell me, how about acting dumb with your
friends?

And I know you've got friends. You do
have friends.

You do have friends, even though you
think you don't. I know, because I'm one

them.

You're my friend, Jesse.

I want to be.

I want you to be.

Then please, please let me.

Oh, God, Jesse, I think I made a
terrible mistake.

I think I made a very big mistake.

I'm so scared. I don't know what to do.

Roberta, do you want to live?

Do you want to live?

Yes.

Yes. Then please tell me where you are.

I don't know.

I'm in a car.

Where? Where is the car?

I'm getting... I'm getting so sleepy.

No, do not go to sleep.

Roberta, you gotta try. Come on, look
out the window. What do you see?

I see a movie theater.

Which one?

What's playing?

African Queen.

How many theaters are playing African
Queen? I'm way ahead of you.

Okay, you did really great, Roberta. You
did great.

Keep her awake, Jesse, until the police
come.

Ray, Roberta, listen to me.

Wake up, are you there?

You've got to stay awake.

I can't.

Roberta, listen to me.

But soft.

What light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious
moon.

Thou knowest the mask of night is on my
face, else would a maiden blush

to paint my cheek for that which thou
hast heard me speak

tonight.

Speak again, bright angel, for thou art
more lovely than all the winged

messengers in heaven.

Romeo.

Romeo.

Romeo.

Deny thy father and refuse thy name.

What's in a name?

A rose?

A rose?

Another name would smell as sweet.

Were it not Romeo called,
