All language subtitles for Fanget i forstaden

I never knew it could feel just like a
dream, but it's so real, I took a chance

and found all the strength I needed.

I look around at the views. I know that
I'm ready to go for the win. And I will,

because I believe that everyone can be a
star.

Well, he did not. He did not say that.

Girls,

please.

Brittany, show Hailey her shoes.

They're so amazing.

No way.

No way.

This is so cute.

You're so lucky. Aren't they amazing?
I'm so obviously jealous.

I wish my mom would get me something
cool like that.

My aunt got them for me in New York.
They're one of a kind. Absolutely nobody

here has them. You're so lucky.

Okay, Brittany, this is your stop.

Uh, no, it's not.

Of course it is.

Not unless we got a new front door and
they changed the street numbers.

Are you sure?

Well, is this anybody's house?

No. See you

tomorrow.

Wait! It's almost 4 o 'clock.

No, I'm sorry, but... Mom!

No, we're running late as it is.

Olivia, when I say no, I mean... Hello?

I'm staring, I'm staring, I'm staring.

Five minutes and I mean it.

What's going on?

Jordan. Ah, I should have known.

Move it. No way, I still have three
levels.

Stop, stop, there, stop.

Now move it.

How did you save me three months?
Ramones!

Icon, Jordan drops one, two, three
number one singles in a row. Now he's

for number four with Make -A -Wish.

Make a wish on a dream.

Keep the time you will see.

There is nothing impossible when you
trust your heart.

Oh, cause that is where you find it.

Homework done? Yeah.

Pretty much. Ah, then this game is
pretty much over.

Mom! Better get started.

Jessie, homework check.

You're kidding, right?

Humor me.

I finished two hours ago. This is just
extra credit.

Although it would be a lot easier to
concentrate if someone wasn't having

practice next door.

The door is closed on. The door is
closed.

Homework check.

My homework?

Mm -hmm. Oh, it's fine. Really fine.

Oh, the guitar.

Mm -hmm.

Well, you see, I was just coming up with
one of those mnemonic memory devices

thingies for my geography quiz tomorrow.

Hmm.

So what does the door is closed on stand
for?

The door is closed on.

Well, that obviously stands for the
state that ratified the little -known

amendment.

Yeah, uh, door.

Delaware, Ohio, Oklahoma, R... Rhode
Island?

Rhode Island, yes, see, that's exactly
what I was going to say. See how helpful

this is?

The door is closed on my dreams. Life is
being lived far away.

First draft?

I don't know what I'm more upset about.

The fact that it's 8 .30 and you still
haven't started your homework, or... Or

that you really feel this way.

Brittany, are you really that unhappy?

Mom!

Must you be so dramatic?

It's just a song.

Ever heard of a little thing called teen
angst?

Please don't give me sad momines.

Okay, fine.

Do I want to be here, where nothing but
nothing ever happens?

No. Do I want to be out there, where
exciting things are always happening?

Yes. Hardly a secret.

And yet, I'm the one accused of being
dramatic.

If you want to do something with your
life, why don't you help me on my Save

Ashbrook House project?

So the complete opposite of exciting.

I recycled for you. I sold candy to save
the whales for you. I thought you did

it for the whales.

I don't know any whales.

Please don't make me help you save a
hundred -year -old house that nobody

Okay, fine.

What if I promise to continue on with my
sad, dreary, boring, monotonous life as

if I'm completely thrilled by it? Deal.

did this happen? How exactly do you
know?

Wow.

Bet you really wish to finish your
homework now, huh?

Let's go, people.

Don't forget, I have a rally.

It's three, so you have to get kooks and
karate and soccer by five. Oh, and we

have Jesse's science fair at six.

Three, five, and six. Good. Fairly light
day.

Briefcase.

Oh, honey, that looks so complex.

Harley, Mom, it's just recombinant DNA.

But I'm missing three nucleic acids.

A baby small, round, and something you
might use to play fetch with the dogs?

Mom!

What do you think this is? Hey, please.

Please put me in your music video. More
like, please, please put me in a

sweater. Has anybody seen my brief...
There's no way.

Oh, come on, Deb, please. Everybody is
wearing them. Just a few teeth marks,

it isn't that good to go.

Oh, Mom, they're slobbery.

Oh.

Have you seen what your daughter's
planning to wear to school today?

Cute. I think she looks adorable.

Adorable? Oh.

Well played. Thank you.

Check the counter next to the phone.
Right.

I can't find my karate uniform. Okay,
check the dryer.

Mom, help.

Broken. Come on, come on. Cooper,
Cooper.

But it's still wet. Well, hang it out
the window when I'm driving. Come on,

we're going to be late.

Okay, guys. See you later. Bye.

Drive safely.

Okay.

Remember your seatbelt.

The one.

Hello?

Wait!

No. Kind of funny, but the first time it
happened. Sounds tragic.

Welcome to the land of the little child.
A couple miles west is an island of

misfit toys.

Brittany!

Oh, my God, guess what? Jordan's here,
and we're all going to be in his video.

No. But you said guess. Whatever. I went
online last night, and I found your

shoes.

Uh, my shoes?

You can't. You see, they're only from
this one little store in New York. Well,

that little store has a website.

They're going to be here tomorrow.

I got two different colors.

Oh, and I got some, too.

We'll all match.

Brittany, isn't that so cool?

Yeah, the coolest.

Good morning, Jordan.

My cousin Mindy thought she saw me
eating at Dutch Diner.

But I said... Excuse me.

I'm 214.

Cute. Is that your boyfriend?

No. Not exactly.

That's Jordan Cahill.

Oh, right. Sorry.

My bad.

Who's Jordan Cahill? You don't know who
Jordan Cahill is?

Afraid not.

I've been living in Europe off and on
for the last couple of years.

Guess I'm not his latest trend.

Apparently ponytails are back.

I'll have to make a note of that.

So, long story short, but sports just
aren't my thing.

I'll wait over there until you're done.

Actually, it's much better over there.
You're on the goal with Aaron. But I...

Cut, please.

Move it.

All right, let's go!

All right. Hurry up, hurry up, line it
up, kick the ball, let's go!

You're supposed to try and catch it.

Yeah, right. Let's go!

I'm Brittany. I know you've probably met
like a thousand Brittneys already.

There's actually seven in our class.

I was thinking of changing my name to
something more exciting like Paris or

Natasha. Right. I don't know if I'm
exactly a Natasha.

I was thinking something like maybe
Arabelle or Ione or Francesca. No,

my name. Oh, I can see that.

It's nice.

So, what are my chances of getting out
of this with a dramatically twisted

ankle? Not good.

This is a lot less tight with the nurse.
Color me shocked.

works over there. So, summers, breaks,
long weekends, the rest of the time I'm

with my mom. New York? New York City,
New York? I love New York.

Not that I've ever been there, but the
whole concept.

I really see myself as more of a... So,
what are you doing here?

Well, it's apparently quite horrible to
someone in my past life.

And my mother was transferred.

You're serious?

This whole butticism thing happens every
day?

Yeah.

Oh, good. Only four and a half more
years until college.

Hopefully I'll get time off for good
behavior.

So what's the deal with this Jordan guy?

Well, he's okay, I guess. But everybody
else is in love with him.

Well, he wants to be part of everybody,
right?

Right.

Good. You can help me load this up.

Hello? Mom, this is Natasha.

She's from New York.

Natasha, this is my mom.

I'm just from here.

Nice to meet you.

Thanks. So, what's with all the posters?
Oh, please, don't even get her started.

She's trying to save some old, decrepit
house.

I mean, local landmark.

We'll be upstairs.

Why don't you let her tell you all about
it? It is really kind of fascinating.

Natasha's socially aware. You're
socially aware, aren't you? You seem

be socially aware. She talks when she's
nervous.

Notice. Okay, I'll be right back.

to let them demolish this beautiful old
house, and we are losing the last

connection we have to our past.

We're thinking about making a human
chain. I know. I'll see if there's a

You know, it really was kind of
fascinating.

It was totally amazing.

The city had a certain je ne sais quoi.
We went to tons of concerts, lots of

theater, and the most amazing shopping.

It's official.

You're living my life.

Actually, now I really am living your
life.

Well, at least until I can convince my
mother she's made a horrible, horrible

mistake.

Hey, do you play the guitar?

Oh, no, not really.

Oh, too bad.

You've got that whole coffee house potus
thing going on.

Really? I do?

I'm more into writing than I am into
playing.

Don't look at that!

Why not?

It's really good.

An island of hope in a sea of sameness.

I love that.

Really? You do?

Because no one has ever... Hello?

Jordan! No,

wait. That's just around the corner.
I'll be there in... So,

um, you remember that Jordan guy?

Well... He's filming just down the
street.

And I know it sounds really lame, but we
should go.

Really? I mean, you sure?

Yeah. Watching all of his crazed fans
make complete fools out of themselves

should be hilarious.

Oh, Jordan, I love you.

Wait.

Right.

Jordan, I love you!

Wow, you're really good at this.

Uh, thanks. You know, I figured as long
as we're here, we might as well...

I picked out that hat. The hat works.

Jordan, hey, hey. Perfect.

This is exactly what I need you to do.
Check this out. Look.

You see your reflection.

You splash your reflection.

You turn the camera.

You strike a pose.

You flip your hair.

You do that thing in the music video.

The girls join in and boom!

Big finish.

Next thing you know, we're back on the
bus of civilization.

You got it?

No, I don't got it. All right. What does
any of this have to do with the song?

I said I don't want to do any more
strut, strut, snap.

Girls appear out of nowhere.

Flip your hair. Stop. I couldn't agree
with you more, bro.

That's why this time we're keeping it
real.

Look, the dancers don't come in until
after the hair flip this time.

Let's roll.

More than me. Take one.

Looking great. I don't want to sing the
song, Len. It sounds like everything

else I've done.

Exactly. Eddie, where are my lyrics?

I don't know if you've read the reworked
lyrics I wrote, but I think they work a

lot. I read them, and they are
incredible.

For someone else.

Jordan. Your friends want to talk about
love.

Fanning it, finding it, losing it.

They love you.

If someone feels it goes out the window,
they're going to leave a mark.

Raisins. I'm not a big fan of raisins.

Pick out the raisins and fire whoever
put them there. See what I do for you?

I'm still not doing the song.

Okay, okay. Hey, take your time.
Whatever you need. You take your time, G

Look, I need a serious attitude
adjustment by tomorrow or else, okay?

moment. One moment.

Hey, man. You know what? Why don't we
just... Let's get out of here.

All right. And please, please remember
to download all my files. I know, I

You've been telling me the same thing
every day for like six months.

I'm sorry, man. It's just my whole life
is on that thing.

Have a little faith.

I got your back, man. Thanks, man.

Hey, suppose I want to download
everything from a handheld to a disc?

Wow. I only saw him for like two
seconds.

I'm a big fan of my book report. Sorry.

Oh, don't apologize.

Thanks to you, I'm already having more
fun here than I thought I ever would.

more of a trampoline.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Brittany!

I'm trying to call you. Why don't you
answer?

Uh, sorry, my phone is being silenced.

Um, guys, this isn't my phone.

Anybody see my phone?

Is it pretty comfortable?

answering. You just know that stupid
Brody who mowed me down has it.

He's not answering because he's too busy
calling China.

Please hold. Not a problem. Not my
phone. Don't say that. My dad is going

lose it if he finds out I lost my phone
again.

Don't worry. It can't be that hard to
find.

He is on a bus with a national icon.

Well, they're staying at that swanky
hotel out by the freeway.

What's the only decent hotel around?
Where else would they be staying?

The only question is, how are we going
to get there?

I'm guessing a cab is out of the
question.

True.

But I've got the next best thing.

Sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Are you sure she has her license?

She can build a rocket that will get you
to the moon, but that whole hand -eye

thing... No talking, okay? You're
distracting me.

No luck. He's not even staying here. Are
you sure?

Yeah, that's what the guy said.

Oh, please.

Let me take care of this.

What are you going to do?

You just have to act like you belong and
not take no for an answer. What if the

answer really is no?

Excuse me.

I just gave your friend an answer. But
it wasn't an honest answer.

He's got photographers on the street and
reporters in the lobby.

We know he's here. You know he's here.
So let's just skip this little charade.

Kip. May I call you Kip?

My name is David.

Sure, why not?

Hurry up!

Brittany, get over here now!

We're not some crazed Jordan Cahill fan.

Yeah, we don't even think he's that
cute.

Though definitely cuter in person. Yeah,
totally so much cuter in person. I saw

his hair and it was like... My point is,
one of his flunkies has something of

ours and we'd kind of like it back.

So until we do, we're not leaving.

Like I said, we're not leaving.

Very soon.

Eddie here.

I'm sorry to bother you, sir. Yeah,
raisins get people fired.

Okay, before you throw them out, be sure
to give them a lovely parting gift.

They're only like the 1 ,000th fan to
use that excuse to get up here to see

Jordan, okay?

Oh, we need mayo, too.

Who is that?

Some schmo at the front desk says a
couple of girls were trying to convince

that... Convince him that

what?

Hey, look, the thing! It fell!

Nobody distracts me.

You don't happen to remember Jordan's
cell phone number, do you? Please

remember. Nope.

Changes so many times, who can keep
track?

Doesn't matter, though. He's here.

Jordan, Eddie's looking for you.

Hey, don't I pay you to keep track of
him? I shouldn't have to tell you.

I'm playing. I'm playing.

What's up?

Nothing. What's up with you?

Eddie.

I'm sorry.

What?

You go first.

I'm sorry. What were you going to say?

I'm sorry for pulling that full -on rock
star act this afternoon.

Dude, you're a rock star.

It's what you do. Throw hissy fits,
trash hotel rooms.

Do you think I was wrong?

That song is about nothing.

Yeah? What do I mean? It's got a good
beat, something you can dance to.

Look, I mean, three years ago, you were
singing in your basement, and I was

backing you up.

Now you're staying in stadiums, man.

I'm backing you up.

You got everything you ever wanted.

Is this what I wanted?

Oh, man, you are like the whiniest rock
star I've ever met.

Let me know if you ever want to change
places, and that includes dating

Penelope. Penelope? Oh, thank you for
reminding me.

Eddie.

Did you do something to your forehead?

This thing is like a gazillion times
nicer than mine. You'd think somebody

want it back. I mean, TV, internet
access.

Well, you need a password for most of
it.

I used to have one just like it when I
lived in Madrid.

You lived in Madrid?

And my dad won't even let me have
Spanish rice because he thinks it's too

Whose phone is it?

What happened to your phone?

Oh, you're going to be so busted when
Dad finds out. Get out!

It's you.

I mean, it's your phone.

I mean, here.

Hello? Look, you little thief, I want my
phone back. Just return it. There'll be

no questions.

I didn't... steal your phone. I tried to
bring it back and I got yelled at for

being 20 minutes late for dinner. So if
anybody's stealing, it's you. Hey, calm

down. I am calm.

I am calm.

I'm sorry. I guess I was just afraid
about it falling into the wrong hands.

The wrong hands? It's just a phone. And
all I want is my... Hang on. I've got

another call coming in. No, no, no. See,
you don't have another call coming in.

I have another call coming in. Okay.
Yeah, right. Sorry.

Do you really think it's her?

We'll call you back.

No, no, don't, don't, don't, don't.

Hello, Madonna?

Hi,

this is... Hello?

She hung up.

Maybe we shouldn't have screamed like
that.

Fred, you know whose phone this is,
don't you?

This is Jordan Cahill's phone.

I don't know why I did that.

Natasha?

Your mom's?

Here.

And Brittany, yours is highly
suspicious.

Thank you so much for letting me stay
over for dinner, Mrs. Ahrens.

Don't do anything until tomorrow.
Promise? Promise.

Promise. She promises.

Honestly. Let's go.

Like, highly improbable.

What part of reality don't you
understand?

And all I'm saying is, I just don't
think you know Madonna.

That was me caring for one second what
you think.

Oh, but don't worry. I'm over it.

Natasha, you are so funny.

Isn't she funny?

Yeah. Not.

Okay,

first off, you don't know Madonna.

You didn't even talk to her. I did.

And second, you can't tell anyone about
this phone. It's like a total invasion

of privacy.

I've been thinking about it all night,
and we've got to give it back.

You really are impossible.

Oh, Natasha, nothing ever happens to me.

Oh, Natasha, my life is so boring.

Oh, Natasha, my life... Do I really say,
oh, Natasha, that often?

The point.

Excitement has fallen into your lap, and
you want nothing to do with it.

It's him.

Hello?

Where have you been? I called you like a
million times last night. Why didn't

you answer?

Sorry. Light's out at 10.

We know whose phone this is. Listen, I
am sorry for yelling at you, and I'm

sorry for taking your phone, but could
we please, please just meet and trade

phones?

Sure. No problem. But first, we want to
talk to Jordan. What?

Yeah, fine. No problem. Sure.

Hey, Jordan, can you come here for a
sec?

Yeah, here I come.

Hey, how's it going?

Okay, Jordan. Just for security
purposes, could we get you to sing a few

your multi -platinum hit, Penelope?

The live recording, not the dance
version remix.

Yeah, sure. No problems.

Penelope.

They sweetened my voice in post.

Look, you little twerps, I need that
phone back.

No, Jordan. No phone. For all intents
and purposes, I am Jordan.

I handle every aspect of Jordan's life.

Just give me back that phone.

Repeat after me. No Jordan, no phone.

Fine. But can you at least give me Gwen
Stefani's number? Jordan keeps asking

for it.

Gwen Stefani?

Phone to Save Astro Cows.

This is what I get for not having more
after school activities.

Yeah, well, this is what I get for not
having any other friends.

This place is so cute.

An island of hope in a sea of sameness.

Not exactly what I was going for.

Besides, unless my mom can generate some
serious community awareness, next week

there'll be a gas station and a coffee
place.

Wait, isn't there a coffee place just
two blocks over?

Yeah, but I could walk to this one.

Honk to save Ashbrook House.

Honk if you feel sorry for me.

Oh, honey. Hey, good job, sweetie. He
wasn't getting his hair done today.

So? Hello, it's Louise.

Oh, hello, Louise.

This is Natasha, Jordan Cahill's
personal assistant.

What are you doing? Yes, I'm sure you're
very excited.

I'd just like to go over a couple of
grand rules with you, Louise.

Uh -huh.

Never look Mr. Cahill directly in the
eye.

Always kneel before you speak to him.

And remember, he only eats raisins. Got
that?

Oh, and Louise, he wants all of his hair
cut off.

Yes.

He'd want it all off.

That's right.

Okay. Bye -bye. Bye.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not his
hair. We cannot cut Jordan's hair off.

relax. No one's going to let her cut
Jordan's hair.

Thanks, Mom.

So I was like, there's no way I got one
wrong. Check it again.

And so he did, and I was right. So he
had to raise my grade and lower everyone

else's. Oh, honey.

I knew I didn't get one wrong, though.

You know? Dad, can I get a cell phone?

No, ask me in a couple years.

I want to get one of those new ones.

With TV reception and Internet access.

You know, kind of like that one that
Brittany... Whoa!

Whoa!

Honey, are you all right? How many times
have I told you not to lean over in

this chair?

I'll get it. Sit.

I'll get it.

Help.

Okay.

From what I can tell, the world is
coming to an end, and a boy named Jordan

is here.

What?

I can't believe we did that.

I can't believe they did that.

No, Penelope, it really doesn't look
that bad.

That bad?

Not that bad. I am holding you
personally responsible.

What? Me?

It's not Eddie's fault. It's just hair.
It'll grow back.

Besides, this is how I used to wear it.

Before you were famous, don't you get
it? The hair was the money. Then dress

up and make it sing your lousy songs.

Everyone has to have an image. Part of
yours was... Oh.

Oh. New song, new look, new image.

I'm a genius.

Crisis averted. More Than Me will be the
premiere of a whole new Jordan Cahill

image. We'll just have to have a couple
of days of reshoots.

Call Rolling Stone. Tell them if they
give us the cover, we will give them the

exclusive on Jordan Cahill's new look.

You're still writing.

You're not turning. You're walking.
Good. That's a start.

Cool.

So I guess I'm off the hook.

Eddie.

I know what really happened this
afternoon.

The salon said that someone called from
my personal cell phone.

Jordan, I can explain.

Thanks. I mean, I was going to tell...
Thanks?

All I ever do is whine about wanting to
make some changes, but never do anything

about it.

Half of my career has been about my
hair, and now it can be about me and my

music.

Thanks for giving me the push I needed.

You're a good friend.

Yeah, sure.

I mean, that's what I'm here for.

Oh, hey, can I get my phone back?

Yeah, sure.

There you go.

Thank you.

Um, it's not working. Oh, man, my bad.

You know, after I called the salon and
downloaded all your data like I always

do, I must have forgotten to charge it.
I am such a fool.

Eddie, Eddie, don't beat yourself up.
It's okay, all right? I'll have to call

Penelope back from the hotel phone.

You know, I really don't look half bad.

Whew.

He writes a lyric?

you with an adventure of your life for
being in my room again.

Or you can help me break the password on
this thing.

You know, you've got dirty socks under
here that are older than I am.

Password.

This is Guy's birthday.

4 -1 -82.

You're in.

He uses his birthday?

Nah, he's over 14.

Everyone over 14 just uses the factory
setting.

They're amazing.

They're moving and they're so sweet.

They're about wanting to see the world
and live life.

They're about the same things I write
about.

You two were practically separated at
birth.

See, his version of more than me is all
about feeling trapped and isolated and

wanting to be different.

What are you wearing?

Oh, just a little something I threw
together.

Cute. Thanks.

Anyway, he misses his dogs and his
girlfriend.

I'd love to play flying saucer golf.
Wait, what's that quaint little

you used before?

Oh, I remember.

Invasion of privacy?

Don't you understand?

See, the Jordan we see isn't the real
Jordan.

They're forcing him to do all this
stuff.

They?

I don't know. They.

His people. Like that guy who won't give
me my phone back.

We need to help him. Why should we help
him?

He didn't even call us to thank us for
the fabulous haircut.

So Operation Save Jordan was launched.

Of course.

There's no reason I couldn't make a few
positive changes of my own.

The first thing to go is

that tacky Vegas wardrobe.

Much better.

I might still have writer's block, but I
knew how to brighten up Jordan's day.

It's amazing what new hair will do for
your Addison.

I'm sorry, guys. It still isn't working
for me.

Thank you.

You two think you're pretty smart, don't
you? Not really. I mean, my grades were

decent. I thought you'd get away with
this. I wasn't going to even notice.

It's not.

It's weird.

Besides, remember I said I wasn't this
smart? Well,

you've got to admit, he does seem a lot
happier.

Uh, yeah. It warms my heart to see him
walk off the set with a smile on his

face.

Two years ago, Jordan was a nobody
playing in a basement band, and you were

nobody's friend.

One more surprise. Just one hammer.

It's back to the basement for the both
of you. Do we understand each other?

Excellent. Now, I want you to be a good
little minion and go and convince our

star to sing the song I want him to
sing.

like it, Tasha?

Because it totally just came to me. I'm
serious. I loved it. Well, usually it

takes me forever to write a song, but
this one... No, no, I like the part

you said, through the open door. It's
totally great.

Keep going. Well, listen, I think I hear
a banana split calling my name, so I'll

talk to you tomorrow, okay?

Bye.

I know, I know.

How stupid am I to care so much about a
condemned old house?

Not stupid.

Tad, I'm Excessive, perhaps.

More sympathy, less levity.

Hey, since when is it stupid to care?

You're fighting for something you
believe in.

It's one of the reasons I love you so
much. And it's what makes you, you.

Much better.

I just wish I could make people
understand that that...

is the last thing that makes our little
corner of suburbia the least bit unique.

An island of hope in a sea of sameness.

You know, the other day, I pulled into
the wrong driveway.

Really?

Well, don't give up yet.

After the big rally on Saturday, who
knows what'll happen?

Oh, I know.

Seven people are scheduled to attend
Saturday's big rally.

Eight. If I could get at least one of my
own children to show up.

Well, I'd probably only count on seven.

Okay, Brittany,

now it's my turn to talk.

This has got to end. Do you hear me? And
I got a new splash for you, little

missy. You're not helping Jordan. You're
destroying him.

Uh, this isn't Brittany.

I'm calling Brittany.

Who's this?

Uh, wrong number!

I know him. I know Jordan.

Natasha, I've got to talk to you. I have
the most brilliant idea.

What's the real... Do you really know
Jordan Cahill? Is he nice? I didn't

it was possible because you would have
told us. Okay, you can tell me. Tell me.

So, do you know Jordan, or don't you?

Yes.

I so wanted to tell you. I have his
phone. I know everything there is to

about him. Yet we made him cut his hair.

You did that?

Totally. Something had to be done about
that unruly mop.

That wasn't even your idea. It was mine.
The new clothes, the new look, all me.

I can make him do anything I want.

Oh, and I talked to Madonna.

So did I.

Can we meet him? Please, please, please.

That's my brilliant idea.

Uh, wait.

Where's Natasha?

Who knows? Who cares?

What's your idea?

You can all see Jordan tomorrow at the
Save Ashbrook House rally.

Are you going to sing? If I say so.

What?

That's the deal. Jordan sings at the
rally tomorrow and I give the phone

No, there's absolutely no way. It's
impossible.

He has to. I've already told people.

Well, that's not my problem.

But it has to be your problem.

I'm not sure where are you.

Okay, fine.

If Jordan's not there tomorrow, then
I'll erase everything on his phone,

including his address book, his to -do
list, oh, and all the songs that he

wrote. No, no, no, you can't do that.
Those are the only copies I made. I

download them. And that's not my
problem.

So, two o 'clock, he'll be there?

Yes, he'll be there. Excellent.

Oops, got to go. It's the girlfriend.

Hi, Penelope.

No, this is Brittany.

Let's just say I'm a friend.

Flying in on Saturday?

No, Saturday's bad for Jordan. I'm
pretty sure he's already booked.

Okay, bye -bye.

I just can't believe Jordan Cahill is
really going to come to my rally.

You can believe it.

We are so proud of you, honey. How'd you
even pull this off?

You know, this isn't really supposed to
be my night's clear. Jessie, please.

Your sister's trying to tell a story.

You just have to know who to call. I
explained what it was for, and they were

more than happy to help out. Well, I'm
still amazed you even got through.

I'm not.

You can be excused, mister.

Oh, I am just so excited.

This is going to be a real protest rally
with songs and...

speeches and celebrities.

All the press and the publicity.

The city's going to have to declare it
an historical landmark.

Oh, this is going to be so much fun.

I don't know if fun is the right word.
I'm guessing Jordan's going to be a

little depressed.

Depressed? Why would he be depressed?

He just broke up with his girlfriend.

Or actually, they're saying that she
broke up with him.

No.

He says we're not getting the entire
story.

Video is behind schedule.

Is Jordan's reign finally coming to an
end?

No. We're supposed to be helping him.

Wow, you must feel horrible.

I was beginning to wonder if I was ever
going to see you here.

Hi, is Natasha here? I called her like a
gazillion times last night, but she

never answered.

She's in her room. You can go on up.

Thanks.

Oh, Brittany.

I just wanted to tell you how happy I am
that Natasha met you. She is so shy.

Sometimes it's hard for her to make
friends.

Shy? You're right. And by the way, we
are going to have a barbecue if you want

to swing by tomorrow.

Natasha's dad's coming home.

Home?

Here. Of course here.

He's been traveling lately.

Oh, Paris, Rome, Madrid.

Actually, mostly around Buffalo.

Stationary sales keep him on the road
all the time.

It'll be good to have him home.

Sure. I've been living in Europe off and
on for the last couple of years. The

rest of the time I'm with my mom. Mom,
this is Natasha.

She's from New York.

The city had a certain je ne sais quoi.

We went to tons of concerts and the most
amazing shopping.

I used to have one just like it when I
lived in Madrid.

I'm sorry. I just... I don't know why,
but I thought... Never mind.

Hey! Why didn't you call me back? We are
in serious trouble. Look, we're not in

anything together.

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have told people
that Jordan would come sing at the

rally, but you've got to help me. Look,
why should I help you?

So you can take all the credit again?

You think I want the credit for breaking
up Jordan and Penelope?

Wow. Is there anything you won't do to
be the center of attention?

Me.

Me.

Your mom thinks that you have no friends
because you're shy.

Well, I know the real reason. It's
because you're a liar.

Me? Me.

What about you?

Oh, I'm not really a Jordan Cahill fan.

Please, you love him.

I lived with my dad in Europe.

I'm fabulous.

Your parents aren't even divorced.

Your dad is a salesman.

So?

And I never said they were.

And I am fabulous.

It's the only reason you even talked to
me.

I talked to you because I felt sorry for
you. You talked to me because you

thought I was cool.

More like pathetic.

Okay, well, if I'm so pathetic, then how
come you're so desperate to be just

like me?

Nice outfit.

Yeah, I want to be different. I want to
stand out.

Full newsflash.

There's absolutely nothing unique about
you.

That's not true.

Calling me a liar?

Your life's a lie.

I should have never listened to you. I
should have just given the phone back

when I wanted to.

Oh, like this is all my fault?

What is going on here?

Did I hear you say whatever?

Trying to walk away forever.

Was it my mistake?

Or did we?

I threatened to erase all of his songs.

I'm sorry for everything. I just wish
none of this had ever happened.

And I wish you told me that an hour ago.

What? Because then I wouldn't have had
to tell Jordan the truth so he'd come

sing at your little event.

Then he wouldn't have found out that his
life is being controlled by two teenage

girls. Then he wouldn't have
disappeared.

Disappeared? What do you mean he
disappeared?

I mean, that's it, okay? He ran away. He
had enough.

And it's all your fault.

Wait!

It can't be my fault, too.

Is that him? Who, Jordan? No, he's long
gone.

Okay.

Hey, guys, we going somewhere?

Yeah, a little field trip.

We are going to find that ungrateful
little punk. Before the press gets a

of this, bring him back here and talk
some sense to him. Okay, just curious,

how do you expect to find him?

He has his phone on him, doesn't he? Oh,
yeah, sure. Why don't you give him a

call? I already tried that.

See, I'm not going to call him.

I called the phone company and activated
his global find. See, those high -end

phones have a global tracking device in
them so you never lose them. There is a

thing?

Did everybody know about this thing?

Shut up and get in the car.

You got a minivan?

I had.

Did you find him? Is he okay?

I'm fine.

Jordan? I hear you have my phone.

I am so, so, so, so, so, so sorry. I
never meant for you and Penelope to

up. Oh, don't blame yourself for that.
We were breaking up with or without you.

Taxi! Oh, and I love your song. I would
never erase it.

More Than Me is so beautiful.

Yeah, right.

No, the version you wrote.

I kind of... might have accidentally
broken your password.

Not real big on boundaries, huh?

Again, sorry, but why don't you record
that version? Oh, well, that's the multi

-million dollar question, literally.

Taxi! Uh, you're never going to catch a
taxi. This is the suburbs.

Yeah, I'm starting to figure that out.

The record company owns me and my next
six albums. If I want to record, I have

to record with Len. But you can't just
give up.

You're Jordan Cahill.

Hey, what are you doing with Jordan's
phone?

Oh, Mom and Dad are setting up for the
rally.

Hey, shouldn't you be there?

I'm leaving if you want to come with me.

Please, please pick up.

I can't.

I'm at home.

Oh!

Everything you said about me is true. I
just wanted to be your friend. And I

just wanted you to like me. And you've
traveled all over the world. And you

such great friends. And you're so good
at everything you do. And you're so

And you have all these great clothes. I
think I was just jealous of you. Oh,

shut up. I was jealous of you. Shut up.

I didn't tell you.

I talked to Jordan.

Really? What'd he say? He ran away. He's
getting out of the music business

forever. Because of what we did?

No, actually, I think he loved
everything we did. Well, except for the

and the extortion, but pretty much
everything else.

It's his record company.

They won't let him record any of the
wonderful songs that he's written.

That's so wrong.

Hey, isn't he supposed to be singing at
your mom's rally in about an hour?

That's probably not going to happen.

And I was so finally starting to like my
life.

It could still happen.

But we've got to find him and get your
phone back.

Not really all that worried about my
phone right now.

No, I've got an idea.

Cooper!

I'm never wrong.

Later. Let's go.

Yes!

Jordan, please, just stay right where
you are. We'll be there in like five

minutes.

I swear, I don't think he'd trust me.

I'm really sorry about this.

Where's Jordan?

I might have forgotten to mention the
bird with the thugs trying to stop us.

think?

Can you babysit Thursday?

Um, Thursday. Yeah, sure.

See you then.

Redonia, wait up.

Three -inch cork sandals. That goes for
everything but walking in the room bad

guys.

I thought maybe you could use this.

How did you know? Back of the door.

Thank you.

Stay in my room, you little brat.

But this looks really pretty.

Amazing. A completely new direction for
Jordan. Oh, watch out. Careful.

Sorry. My assistant's driving like a
maniac today.

Okay, bye.

Do you know CNN's number off the top of
your head?

Why? You just promised Channel 7, 5, and
11 an exclusive.

Exclusive is a very relevant term.

access to Washington.

Fabulous for everything, but riding on
the back of the mountain bike. Hang on,

we're almost there.

Hey, do you think we could...

Relax. I'm only two blocks away.

Yes.

I'll stay out of sight.

Bye.

Cool.

I haven't had one of these in years.

Everything next week.

Casual, no presents. Thanks. The soccer
practice is canceled for tomorrow. Good.

I am so behind on my homework.

Think we can maybe, uh... Oh, sure.
Follow me.

Oh, here. I think this belongs to you.
Thank you.

And as nice as this is, pink just isn't
my color.

Then what was that you were wearing in
the Take My Heart video?

Um, before you get too attached, just
one quick thing.

All right,

now the whole world has your lyrics to
More Than Me.

What do you mean? That's not possible.

Well, maybe not the whole world, but
pretty close.

Someone just sent me the lyrics through
more than me.

That was supposed to be a world
premiere.

We haven't even finished shooting the
video yet.

Wait a second.

These aren't even the right words.

Wait, these are Jordan's lyrics.

And it says that he's premiering it
today, this afternoon.

This afternoon?

No, no, no, there's no way. There's a
fight! They're in the park!

Come on, just give the guy a break.

Len, this is wrong.

You can't do this. He's got a right not
to sing.

Definitely has a right not to sing.

Doesn't sing for me. He doesn't sing at
all.

Voice?

No, wait.

Let go of me, okay?

I'm not so sure about this. The singing
or the driving?

Both.

But I'm trusting you two. I owe you
that.

You gave me my life back.

And maybe ended your career.

Yeah.

And life.

Apologies.

No, not ended. Actually, you brought it
full circle.

This is where it began.

You grew up here?

Hey, trying to drive.

No, but a place just like here.

I spent the whole time desperate to find
a way out.

Now that I'm out, I don't know what I'm
searching for.

An island of hope in a sea of sameness?

Hey, that's pretty good. Do you mind if
I use that sometime?

It's not mine. It's Brittany's. She
writes songs. Why don't you? Just do.

Do not. Just do.

Do not. Just do. Okay, maybe a little.

But not like you. Well, I certainly hope
it's something you're going to pursue.

Someday, if I ever get a...

You can be stuck anywhere, you know, but
you can't blame the location.

You can only blame yourself.

Suburbs are just a state of mind.

Sorry. Are you sure you don't want me to
maybe... I'm fine. I'm fine.

Thanks, but if you could just not talk,
that would be great because I'm driving.

Thanks.

She has control issues.

And legend has it that President Truman
wants to use the bathroom.

Those are the 57 reasons why Ashburg's
house is so important to me.

But it's already two -thirds.

Actually, I just thought of another one.

That brings us to number 58.

Where's Jordan? Yeah, we want Jordan. We
don't care about your stupid old house.

Now, just one minute.

This house is very important to me.
Jordan...

Jordan. I knew it. We are so out of
here. Right. Like Brittany actually

Jordan came here.

We're going to try to save your house.

Sure. Um, just, uh, if that's where
you... I'm Brittany's mom.

I know.

Uh -oh.

Trouble has just arrived on the wings of
a tacky minivan.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Isn't she fabulous?

Not half as fabulous as you are.

Sorry. I'll take care of the press.

Exhaustion. Publicity stunt.

Ooh, just spotted over the breakup of
his girlfriend.

Great. Sympathy factor.

I want you to find Jordan and make sure
he doesn't go through with this.

Yeah.

But how?

You're his best friend, Eddie.

That should count for something.

Oh, and Eddie, if you can pull this off,
I'm prepared to make you part of the

organization. Maybe even let you manage
the tour.

Come on.

Come

on,

Jordan, let's watch this.

How can you be nervous?

You were on the Grammys.

Yeah, I know, but this is all about me.

It's personal.

And it's a really good feeling.

I'll be fine.

Thank you.

No. Thank you.

You know what? Hang on just a second. I
forgot something.

I'll be right back.

Jordan!

What are you doing?

I'm just doing what I think is right.

You want to sacrifice everything that
you've been working for?

Everything that we've been through?

You realize this could be the end for
us.

Yeah, I realize that, Eddie.

I'm sorry.

Fine. You do what you gotta do.

But I'm going to do what I have to do.

Eddie, wait!

Ladies and gentlemen, if I could have
your attention for just one second,

please. This should explain everything.

I would like to introduce my best friend
in the whole world, Mr. Jordan Cahill.

No!

It is for you.

I'd like to thank everyone for coming
out here today.

I know this isn't the biggest cause.
It's not going to change the world.

But that doesn't mean it's not
important.

We spend our whole lives chasing after
things.

I'd only be happy if... But I think a
lot of the time, we forget what we're

leaving behind.

Our past.

Our home.

What makes us unique.

This song...

is dedicated to what's special in all of
us.

It's not what's out there.

It's what's in here.

I'll be rising above the flames.

Uh -huh.

I've been so lost.

Baby, now I'm found.

Since you've been around.

I never dreamed someone could be right
to who I was

and to all I could be.

Only your love.

Oh,

yes, I would. I feel the promise of a
brand new day.

So cool. I'm so jealous.

Ooh, come to New York this weekend? I
don't know, Jordan. Things are pretty

exciting around here.

Well, we miss you, too.

Talk to you soon.

Can't you see?
