Original subtitles

Eddie, Max, others, I'd like to thank you so much for coming to my birthday

party. Oh, I'm sorry, your birthday party.

Are you drunk?

Of course not. I'm just feeling celebratory.

Did you get my gift?

Chloe, now is not the time.

Did you get my gift, but just didn't have time to open it because you were

too busy with the blessed fortune night?

Cynthia, honey, Chloe, let's just go on home. Stop it. No, listen to your

mother, Cynthia.

Or did you get my gift and just forgot to call me? I didn't open it. Okay.

I think you should go. Well, spoiler alert.

It's a Rolex.

That's a watch, kid.

Yeah, I know.

Well, smarty smarty. Have you ever seen one up close? Chloe, stop.

Let's go, honey. Not before I make a toast.

Sorry,

kid.

You know what gets that out?

White wine. Chloe!

That's all I have left.

What happened?

Were you sleeping?

I can't sleep now. What happened?

Did you talk to Phil?

Yeah.

Yeah, he's at the motel.

It's like a crime scene there. If you drove up there and saw police tape, you

wouldn't be surprised.

How is he?

Did he look okay?

He's fine. He's Phil. He's got a smart answer for everything.

Why are you not telling me anything? Is he coming home?

No.

Not now.

I knew I should have gone with you. He needs to hear from me that everything's

going to be okay. He said he does not need his mother right now.

What he needs is... I don't know what he needs. I'd offer him a job.

Good. Maybe that'll help.

Maybe. He told me that he would let me know.

You know, either way, he needs a different job than the one he has with

this Colorado.

You think he's the reason for all of Phil's trouble?

I bet he is. No, he's not.

None of this was going on until this Colorado came on the scene.

I bet he's the reason Phil's making all these bad decisions. No, he is not. Phil

made those decisions on his own. Is Colorado bad news? Yes. But Phil is the

one who took those actions all by himself.

Well, I don't think he's a good guy.

He's not.

All right, I met him. I went to his shop.

There's a lot of activity there, but there's not a lot of cars getting fixed.

Something is definitely wrong. I told you. He's responsible.

No, Lisa, and I'm not going to be one of those parents that blames my kid's

mistakes on other people.

We've got to look at ourselves. I don't know what we did wrong with that kid,

but whatever it was, you know, maybe we're responsible.

Superhero movie, superhero movie, team of superheroes movie.

Is there a movie about superheroes in space? I'd see that.

Thank you.

Yeah, it's showing in Sherman Oaks. If we hurry, we can still get there.

I wonder how Lauren's doing at Eddie's dinner.

Going to see a movie at the mall isn't glamorous enough for you. And it's not

just a mall, Mel. It's a galleria.

I know you hate it when I talk about Lauren.

No, just when you talk about Lauren like she's the center of the universe.

that she's, you know, out to dinner with Eddie Duran on his birthday.

Yeah, it's cool, but, I mean, maybe we shouldn't talk about Lauren.

I want to talk about you, like you're the center of the universe.

No one's ever said anything like that to me.

Geez, if I ran things around here, I'd have a guy follow you around all day

just so he could say things like that.

Why wouldn't you just do it yourself?

Well, come on, Mel. I'm busy running things here. I don't have time for that.

You get to pick the movie we see tonight. What do you want to see?

Well,

there's a new Guillermo del Toro out. It's pretty good.

What's it about?

I have no idea, but it's scary as a flying monkey.

Actually, I think there's flying monkeys in it.

What if we don't see scary tonight?

Well,

we could go see the new Almodovar.

Or there's a Kurosawa retrospective at the new Beverly.

Something romantic, maybe.

Romantic movie?

Do they make those?

You've never seen a romantic comedy?

Does Transformers count?

No. What? Really? No.

Haven't you ever seen, like, Garden State or 500 Days of Summer?

I thought those were just soundtracks. They have movies attached to them.

Okay, you're coming home with me. We're going to watch a romantic comedy right

now. I thought we were seeing a movie that I wanted to see. No, we are. I'm

just going to tell you what it is.

What about your parents?

We've met them before.

Yeah, but not as your... As my what?

Are you trying to say the word boyfriend?

Are you my boyfriend, Adam?

my stuff and some of yours.

You don't have to leave, Kelly.

Did we do something?

No! Oh my god, are you kidding? You guys have been great. You've been too great.

I just can't get comfortable here in your domestic paradise.

I need to go.

I need to get my own place. I need to do my own thing.

Well, great, but why don't you just stay with us until you find a spot? No, it'll

be nicer in a hotel.

I can...

Not worry about listening to my music too late at night or waking anybody up

watching some movies.

You know that does not bother us.

Come on, you've just been too polite to even ask.

I have been too polite to ask if you're a vampire.

That's my main concern.

Honey, what you're doing up at that time, that's none of my business.

It's kind of nice to know you can keep Jay company when his insomnia kicks in.

What? What is it?

What? What's what?

Kelly.

Did Jake do something?

No. Did he do something? No.

What is it?

What is it? Is there something going on between you and Jake that I don't know

about? Tracy.

You can tell me. Kelly, we've been through too much.

Come on. You have to tell me the truth.

Is Jake the reason you're leaving?

He is.

He... He's driving me crazy. He doesn't have an off switch. I'm, like, with him

in the office and here, and it's being... It's like being with the

Energizer bunny for, like, 24 hours. It's crazy.

I told you. God, he's crazy, isn't he? Yeah, I mean, I love the guy, but I

just... I gotta get away from that, and I don't want to tell you that. Oh, come

here. Oh.

I thought it was something else.

You not mad?

No! Of all people, I know how exhausting my man can be.

Come on. Oh, that's how it's done. Who does it better than me? Who's better?

Who's better?

Wow. You know what?

Hey, what's going on?

What happened?

Kelly's moving out.

Baby, you can't move out.

Yeah, I came to talk to you.

Well, I'm set it out, honey. What do you need?

Um, I wanted to talk to you about college and next year and stuff. Right

now? I mean, if it's a bad time, I... No, it's just an odd time. I mean, what

do you want to talk about?

You know, I missed out on sending in my applications for colleges, and I was

wondering if you could pull some strings.

To do what?

Get you into college without an application?

Okay, I mean, is that possible? Could you do that? I don't think I want to do

that. You need to apply yourself. What schools are you thinking about?

Um, you know, a lot of them.

All of them. Some really, really good ones.

What are you doing here, kid?

I told you, I came to talk to you. Adriana!

Do you know anything about this break-in?

Do you know anything about the break-in?

From the other night?

Well, that's the only break-in I know of. Do you know of others?

No, I don't even know what happened.

Was Phil involved?

What? Dad, how could you think that Phil's a criminal? Because he's a thief.

He sold the math test. I got cops coming to my house questioning me about that

little delinquent. Shall I continue? Okay, but that was different.

The math test was school, and nobody cares about school. And I was his alibi

for the other thing they're accusing him of. That he's a thief? It's a fact.

What, so now he's involved in every robbery in L.A.?

I bet he'd love it if he could be.

Dad, how could you say that? That is so mean.

To think that I would be helping him with something like that.

What do you think of me?

I'm sorry, kid. This robbery, it's just got me on edge.

I don't even know what happened. What did they take? Not that. Just some

prescription drugs.

That's it.

That's what has you on edge. It's not so much the robbery. It's the violation.

You understand?

Well, whatever you think of Phil, he is ambition.

He wouldn't just take a bottle or two. He'd steal boxes of drugs.

Well, that's good to know.

But I have a pretty good idea who did it, Adriana.

Who?

I got to meet Nora over the hill, so let me lock up.

Okay? Let's get you home. Come on.

Yeah, don't forget to set the alarm.

Good thinking, kid.

Hey, I'm sorry for thinking you had anything to do with this.

Be safe, all right? I'm gonna see you later.

All here on my...

I want to go someplace warm.

Beachy. How did we raise two such headstrong kids?

I don't want someone to replace my drink every time it gets empty.

Phil is bound and determined to make a mess of everything we've given him. And

I want to go swimming in warm water that is so blue that you can't tell where the

water ends and where the sky begins.

And Melissa.

She's trying to find my sister Beth, even though I've expressly forbidden it.

I want to go to a luau every night.

Gus, are you going to talk with me about this? No.

I don't want to. I want us to talk about our fantasy vacation.

Babe, you'll get your vacation. Let's just deal with our kids first. That way

they won't destroy the house while we're gone.

All right, well, this thing about Mel wanting to find Beth.

Oh, you were listening.

Yes, I was.

I think she should do it.

What if she locates Beth?

I hope she does.

We don't know what she'll find.

She might find an answer.

You think it would be less stressful if Melissa knew? I think it would be less

stressful for you, which means it would be less stressful for me.

Don't you want to know about Beth?

Let Mel find her.

And what about Phil? What's your grand plan for that kid?

Is it too late to ship him off to military school?

Right.

Mom, Dad, this is Adam. We're going to my room to watch a romantic comedy.

No. Oh, Adam would like to say something.

I'm Melissa's boyfriend.

Okay, did you get all that? He's my boyfriend.

Let's go. I will see you guys around later. Bye.

Glad you're here.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I want to go home.

Why? What happened?

My dad came.

He wants me to work for him.

That was the first time it ever actually made sense to me.

I'm just tired of this place.

Okay, look.

It'll be better when we get our own apartment.

I don't know, Wade.

No, it will.

Okay, remember, I'm going to pick out the curtains and we can get those two

little dogs.

Do you know how much money I have right now?

Okay, so maybe we get one dog.

This was supposed to be the start of something, you know? I just keep

hemorrhaging money.

How am I supposed to get started if I just keep sinking like this?

We can't get a place right now.

Phil, there's lots of apartments listed online. I'm gonna go look at them with

Kim. Stop, stop. I'm sorry.

It's not happening.

Don't do that. Do what?

Get all pouty. Okay, I'm not pouty. Yeah, you are. And, you know, that may

work with your dad, but he just has to dig a little deeper in his pockets to

keep you happy. I don't have pockets, okay?

I can't afford them.

Okay, maybe we can find another way to make money.

Get that place where I get my mani-pedis. They have tons of equipment.

They don't have security.

I'm not jacking a nail salon.

Aid? There has to be other places, Phil.

We gotta cool it, at least until the clinic's done.

I don't know, I'm gonna have to figure out something, though. Maybe... Maybe

Colorado has some more work for me.

Doing what?

Anything.

Okay, Phil, are you sure that you want to work for this guy?

Well, he pays well.

Yeah, when he pays.

What else am I supposed to do?

Maybe going home isn't such a bad idea.

It's safe, and we can save money.

If I go home, I'm going to have to work for my dad.

It's okay.

I'm not going to be able to afford to go to fancy dinners and pay for nice

earrings and stuff like that.

Look, Phil, I don't care about any of that stuff.

I just want to be with you.

You spilled white wine all over me. It was an accident. You barreled into me.

You were about to pour wine on me. I was joking, Eddie. You know that I was just

joking. Stop.

Not before I make a toast and tell everyone how special you are to me.

Nobody wants to hear it. Sure they do.

Sure they do. Look.

Everybody. Everyone here. I would like to make a toast to Eddie, the man that I

love, who I thought could forgive me. But you know what?

I made a mistake. I loved him way too much. So, little girl, you better not

make any mistakes, because then Eddie will just, you know, drop you. Okay,

that's enough. That is enough.

All right?

You say you love me, but you have a sick way of showing it.

All right? Now, I was blind.

All right? But now I can see clearly.

You don't love me. You never did. You were excusing me. Eddie, I do love you.

I love you. And I don't know if you can love anyone.

And that's fine.

Okay, but do me a favor.

Go back to Tyler.

Or go and put your hooks in that next up-and-coming famous person that's

coming around the bend.

Eddie, Eddie, wait. Don't go. Eddie!

Enough. Enough.

Let him go.

You should take her home.

Let's go, honey. Let's go. What are you looking at?

Honey, let's just go home. These people don't care about you.

Hi!

Honey, are you alright?

Stop looking at me!

Hey, Lauren.

You okay?

Oh, I'm fine.

That was just all really weird.

She seemed pretty messed up.

Yeah, she's a pretty mixed-up kid.

I'm sorry about that. At this point, I'm actually feeling sorry for her.

I feel sorry for Eddie.

Do you think he left?

No, he probably just stepped out.

Okay, I'm gonna go look for him.

Oh,

he seems to be really hurting.

Yeah, he is.

I don't want her to get hurt.

What do you mean?

I just don't want her to think this friendship with Eddie is anything more

than it is.

Oh, I don't think so.

He's good with stuff like that.

He's got his mother's good sense and toughness.

And my sensitivity.

It's a good combination.

Yeah, he's very aware of other people's feelings.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

No. As the mother of the girl who worships the water he walks on, I think

it's a good thing.

Well, I'm just going to fix you something warm and calm you down.

I gotta get this.

Sorry.

What's up, Jackie?

Hey, Tyler. You have got to get over here right now.

I'm a little busy at the moment.

Chloe needs your help.

What'd she do now?

She made a big scene at Eddie's birthday dinner.

Why are you calling me with this? She went to see Eddie. Call him.

Look, I...

I have never seen her like this. She is not herself.

Like I told you before, Jackie, I'm done with this, okay? I'm moving on.

So, you're not going to help her at all?

No, just tell her to go to sleep.

She'll be fine in the morning.

Bye, Jackie.

I'm sorry, I'm not.

I know you're not.

But I bet you wish you were.

Or anybody else.

I know.

Poor little Roxanne, huh?

Yeah.

No, I... I know you're hurting.

Everybody goes through this.

Everybody?

How many guys do you think Chloe did this to?

That makes it sound like it was the master plan.

Oh, it seems like she had one.

I don't think so.

Sounds like it just happened.

Nah.

You know, looking back, you see all the signs and the clues.

The night she wasn't around and I couldn't get a hold of her.

This meeting with this big movie producer she insisted upon.

Pretty sure she was playing me the whole time. No, that doesn't make sense.

You think she was just using you until someone better came along?

You're Eddie Duran.

Who could be better than you?

That was sweet. Thank you.

Well, if she didn't have a master plan, it... still

made me feel awful, you know?

Completely miserable.

I mean, we all go through heartbreak.

It'll get better.

It'll be okay.

Yeah.

How old are you again?

Old enough to give out advice.

Not old enough to take it.

What?

What?

Something about the way you look at me.

How do you mean?

It's almost like you want to... Want to what?

Kiss me.

That'd be such a surprise.

But you know what I mean. It's just... There's like this mystery and

anticipation in your eyes.

Hurry up.

Um, Dr. Masters.

Hi. Hi, Lauren.

Hi, this is Eddie Duran.

Hey, what a pleasure. How you doing? Good. Wow, I have a lot to thank you

for. You're the one who helped Lauren's son get to my dad, right? Yeah, I'm glad

it all worked out.

Well, I think we were about to leave, but my mom is over there with Max.

Oh, hi.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Not at all, Don. How you doing?

She's telling Nora some old rock and roll stories. Yeah, most of it much

involved stolen kitchen appliances.

Who would have known rock stars were such into cooking?

You can believe in the stealing part?

Uh-oh.

Anyway, we're winding down, but let's get you a drink. Oh, no, I don't want to

barge in on the celebration. I just need to check in with Nora on something work

-related. Yeah, yeah, sure. Lauren, can you give me a few minutes while I talk

to Don?

Oh, I mean, if it's okay, I can grab Lauren, huh?

Really? It's kind of out of the way.

No, it's not a problem. I'm driving that way anyway.

And I actually need to get going because I need to go check on a bar and make

sure everything's standing. So, all right. Lovely to see you tonight. Thank

you.

Good seeing you, buddy.

Okay.

Sorry about the fireworks. No, it was a lovely time, especially the fireworks.

Thank you.

Okay.

Bring it in, birthday boy.

All right. I'll see you tomorrow. Okay. All right. Thank you for everything.

Okay. Well, I will see you at home.

Okay, I know. Be careful.

All right.

Eddie, happy birthday.

Thank you.

Happy birthday, Eddie.

Thank you. Yeah.

She's in good hands, by the way.

What's going on with those two?

I wish I knew.

This is a great song.

Do you have to go home right away?

No, my mom's still out.

All right.

I want to take you somewhere.

I have something special I want to show you.

Aw,

no, David, three.

I did three, Dad.

No, what is this?

I just, I need to get out of here.

Did Trace put you up to this? No, it was all me.

Okay, I am so confused right now.

I do think that she's getting suspicious.

And this is going to make her less suspicious, you packing up all your

stuff and calling a cab to God knows where?

No, it's going to make sure that nothing happens between us. Nothing did happen.

I kissed my boss and my best friend's husband, all right? That's not nothing

to me.

Okay, well, look, do you need anything? A loan advance on your paycheck?

Sure, you've seen that I'm pretty resourceful.

All right, well, look, if you need anything, just... Well, you know what I

do need? I need to know that my job is safe.

What? Of course you still have your job.

Why wouldn't she have her job?

Kelly did something I didn't approve of.

What's that?

I started working with a contest winner, Lauren Tate.

Behind my back.

What's wrong with that?

Well, you know, when you work for me, you work for me. You don't go off and do

your own thing. And, baby, you know I can be a demanding boss.

I require full, undivided attention from all my employees.

Trace, I screwed up.

I knew it the second that I did it.

Right.

Well, demanding boss, why didn't you fire her?

Well, because Lauren's really talented.

I don't get it. I mean, you manage talent.

She brings in more talent. I mean, isn't that her job?

No, it's a question of trust.

Is this why you're leaving?

No, no. I will not let this happen over some stupid office rule that makes sense

to no one but my husband. No, Tracy, it's not that, and my cab's here.

I'm gonna miss you.

Oh, my God.

It's not like I'm going to Siberia. I'll probably get a place in Silver Lake.

Silver Lake. That's Siberia to me.

I will definitely be seeing you.

And I will see you at the office tomorrow.

Yeah. Just don't do anything crazy like generate more business for his business.

Is there something going on?

I keep on expecting your mom to break down the door any second.

She'd be so disappointing that we're just sitting here watching a movie.

We're not actually watching anything.

Oh, it's all set up. You just have to press play.

Nice.

Super nice.

You don't really want to watch the movie, do you?

No, not really.

What do you want to do?

We have to get the drugs from the clinic to pay back Colorado.

What if we didn't?

We have to.

No, we don't.

We could just leave.

Leave town?

Yeah. We could go anywhere. He can't find us if we leave.

Where would you want to go?

I don't know.

Someplace warm.

With a beach, maybe.

Someplace close or far away?

Far away.

No English. I want to learn a new language so we fit in.

Yeah, English isn't really your thing anyway.

Hmm. What else?

What would we do?

What, like jog?

Yeah, like how would we live?

I don't know, maybe we can open up a cafe or something by the beach.

Are you going to cook? Yeah, I can cook. I have all my mom's old recipes.

It'll be great. Okay, I can get away from my dad, and you can get away from

your parents in Colorado and everything else.

How does that sound?

So you want to go someplace far away, where it's warm, open a cafe by

the beach.

Yeah.

How does that sound?

Sounds good, eh?

Sounds real good.

It was all a little unnerving.

You know, she was drunk or on something, and she was really upset that Eddie was

with Lauren. Well, that must have brought out the mother line.

You know, it's funny.

I just, I felt like Lauren could really handle herself in that situation.

I don't know, she's used to dealing with mean girls because... Because of Adrian.

Come on, you can say it.

But, you know, I wasn't that... Protective of her.

But just now, when she left with Eddie, she is out of her elements in the back

of that Escalade.

Well, it's an Escalade, but she'll be fine.

I know, I know. She will be.

I'm actually more worried about you. Are you okay? You look like you haven't

slept in a week.

It's this break-in.

What happened with the police?

I hate to say it, but all evidence leads to Ellie.

No. Yeah.

I'm afraid it's true.

Well... You can't really believe that. I don't know what to believe.

But you know she's not addicted to anything.

Well, it would explain her behavior. I don't think she's actually taking the

pills herself.

You think she's selling them?

You never know.

I mean, it could be payback for me not taking interest in her. I wanted to talk

to you about it because I know you two are friends.

Are you going to have her arrested? I hope it doesn't come to that.

But I think I need to let her go.

I don't even know why you would think that.

Well, maybe because she peeled out of here in the middle of the night?

She has a crush on you, Jake. I know that much. It is so crazy for you to

even think like that. No, this whole thing is crazy.

She ran out of here so fast, I'm surprised she even said goodbye.

You think I'm being paranoid?

No.

Okay, she may have a little word crushed on me, but who can blame her?

I would blame her.

Look, it's not even like that, Trace. Come on.

You just said I was crazy to think there was something going on. No. See, what's

crazy is me cheating on you.

Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately?

Baby, you are so beautiful.

Literally, you have ruined me for other women.

They don't even compare.

Leave a message.

Damn it, Tyler, where are you?

I need you to pick up the phone.

This has been the worst night of my life.

Tyler, where are you?

Wow.

It's a great spot, huh?

See the valley on that side.

LA on them.

I've never been up here before.

How many secret spots do you have?

A couple more.

But they all have their purpose, you know?

One's for thinking.

One's for chilling.

What's this one for?

Inspiration. And the make-out ones by the beach.

Makes sense.

I used to come up here as a kid all the time.

I had a notebook full of ideas.

Nobody cared when they saw me up here, but now it's... Well, I don't spend much

time up here anymore.

It is inspirational, though.

Like I have this empty pain in my stomach. Oh, I love that feeling.

That's good, though.

You know?

I mean, I get inspired by places that are bigger than me.

You know, like walking into an arena for soundcheck. It's all empty.

I see it as like a blank canvas.

I just want to fill it up.

So I see this big, empty space.

You know what I always dreamed of leaving this town?

I never realized that I just live in that little block of lights over there

and there's all this cool stuff over here that I just didn't even know about.

Come on. You crazy?

Leaving LA? I love this place.

Yeah, well, we live in different parts of town.

I mean, I'm over there and you're over in Hollywood and all the... Fun stuff

happens. Nah, it's not that far apart.

It is.

It's a different world.

Yeah? Well, you get used to it.

You know, because if you work hard, you're gonna own the world.

Maybe even the moon, too.

Do you mean that?

Yeah, but you don't believe me?

Some people say stuff like that to me, but I try not to take them seriously.

No? What people?

You know, Melissa and Adam and my mom.

I don't even believe Kelly when she tells me I could be a star.

None of those people have ever been there.

They don't know how hard you have to work or how lucky you have to get for

your dreams to come true.

But I do.

And not only do I know that you could be a star, I want to make sure that I help

you become one.

Yeah, you got the soul on me

I'll say

It was fun.

Well, thank you for inviting me.

It was a great time, even when Chloe wanted to gouge my eyes out.

Yeah.

Sorry about that.

Oh, it's okay.

She's hurting, too. I guess it's just her way of dealing with it.

Don't worry about it.

Or anything.

The whole world's about to open to you, Miss Lauren Tate.

There's nothing holding you back.

It's all because of you.

Chloe, honey?
