You okay?

What are you still doing up?

I shouldn't be. I just couldn't sleep.

Are you waiting up for me?

I didn't think I was, but right now I can't really come up with a very good

reason why I'm still awake.

You seem flushed. Are you feeling okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I thought you'd be home earlier.

We went for a drive.

Oh, really? People still do that?

Eddie does.

Oh, right. Well, he's a driver. I guess it's easier that way.

Where'd you go?

Up Mulholland.

It was amazing.

It was like the whole city just belonged to us.

Oh.

I've been up there with one or two boys back in my day.

Although I remember those drives a little more like wrestling matches,

though. No, it wasn't like that. It was really sweet.

It's, that's his spot that he goes to when he, when he needs some inspiration.

You just, just talk. Just a couple of pals chewing the fat.

We kissed right there. He just, he just walked me to the door and he, he kissed

me goodnight.

Oh.

What? I'm just surprised, that's all.

Not a good surprise, it seems like.

Mom, that was, like, one of the happiest moments of my life, and you really just

can't let me enjoy that for two seconds before you just start raining on my

parade? Really?

Hey, Pop.

What are you doing?

Sitting here, unwinding. Looks to me like you're playing.

Let's see how the guitar felt in these old hands.

I like the guitar in those old hands.

Nora asked if I was still writing, so that kind of triggered something, you

know?

And I miss it.

I miss writing songs.

Anyway, how about that birthday dinner, huh?

Yeah. I'm sorry it all kind of fell apart at the end.

No, it didn't fall apart.

It ended nicely, so...

What? What'd I miss?

Nothing. Lauren and I ended up going for a drive, that's all.

A drive?

Yes. Come on, you gotta stay professional with this girl. I am.

We are.

So you're out at this hour just talking business?

I can't help it.

I'm falling for her.

Jackie.

How is she? Can I see her?

I don't know anything yet. The doctor's in there with her.

Sorry to worry you. I didn't know who to call.

No, I'm glad you did. I'm exactly the right person for you to call.

That's not what you said the last time we talked. You said you didn't want

nothing to do with her anymore.

It doesn't matter. I'm here now, okay?

What happened? I went to check on her, and she was passed out on the floor, and

there was a bottle of pills next to her, so I dialed 911, and the paramedics

came, and they brought her here.

The whole thing's been crazy.

How was she earlier? Was she acting weird or depressed?

She had a pretty upsetting night.

Somehow she found out about Eddie having a birthday dinner at Romer.

Oh, God.

With a date? That young lady who won that songwriting contest?

Chloe has some pretty strong feelings about that girl.

Poor Chloe.

I mean, first he breaks up with her, and then I reject her.

Well, I don't know how much you had to do with this situation, Tyler. Well, not

on the surface, I'm sure. But deep down, I'm sure that that affected her.

So did she go to the restaurant?

You know how headstrong she is. I had no choice.

But I followed her over there.

And there she was at Eddie's table, ranting and raving and making a complete

fool out of herself.

What did steady Eddie do?

He demanded she leave.

I think he asked me. He was downright cruel to her.

We went on back home, and, um, next thing you know, she's passed out on the

floor.

Do you think maybe she tried to kill herself?

Kill herself?

Um, uh, yeah, how is she? Well, I don't know yet.

I just sent off a blood sample to the lab to find out what drugs were in her

system. What can you tell me?

I think she took some of these and maybe some sleeping pills.

How many?

I have no idea. I just found out a couple days ago that she needed sleeping

pills. Do you think I could see her?

Who are you?

I'm her really close friend.

You both can visit for a few minutes, but don't stay long.

And try not to say anything to upset her.

Thanks.

There she is.

She looks like an angel.

My poor girl.

Hey, babe.

Everything's going to be all right, okay?

Teddy?

That's why I'm here. You know, I'm not sure what to do.

Don't you want my advice?

I mean, I used to ask Mom all the time when I had issues with my love life.

Because you were not interested in hearing anything I had to say about it.

And look how that turned out.

A disaster.

So, yes, I am coming to you now.

Okay.

So what happened tonight?

I just took her for a drive up on the Holland.

Yeah, she really gets me.

Okay, why are you telling me this? Because I want you to understand that

there's really something special here.

Eddie, that's the same thing you said about Chloe.

No. No. No.

With Lauren, I can tell her things that I've never been able to tell a girl I've

dated. Not even Chloe. Whoa.

Hold on. You're planning on dating her?

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know.

It's all kind of taken me by surprise. I didn't expect to have this strong of a

connection with her.

Look, I get that. You know, she's talented. She digs your music. You told

me that she inspires you.

So you approve?

Of what? What am I approving?

I mean, friendship with her? Yeah, absolutely.

Possible romance?

I don't think so.

All I know is that I really like being with her.

Eddie, you just went through a tough breakup.

You gotta take care of your heart and hers.

I was just going with the flow, you know, and seeing where it took me. And

then I kissed her at the end of the night. What?

I kissed her at the end of the night.

Why are you overreacting?

Because if you are not serious about this girl, you've got to stop leading

her on.

You're going to end up breaking her heart. And trust me, you don't want

that.

I don't do that. I do not rain on your parade.

was the one who encouraged you to enter this contest and follow your dream.

Yeah, but lately you've just been totally against my feelings for Eddie. I

don't get it.

Well, I never knew that Eddie Duran becoming your boyfriend was a real part

of the dream.

I know that it's always been a fantasy, but tonight everything changed.

You know, what about that cute blonde boy with the nice teeth?

Really, Mom?

Whatever.

Was it a real kiss, like a romantic kiss?

It was about as real as you could get.

My heart was racing.

My ears felt like they were on fire. They were burning so fast, and I'm

pretty sure my toes are still wiggling from it.

Oh, my God.

That sounds like the real thing.

I'm so happy you had that.

Thanks, but it wasn't just about the kiss, Mom. It was just like... in that

moment i i realized that this whole time i've been i've been so scared of having

a career in music but all of a sudden i i didn't feel afraid anymore what do you

think changed i think it was eddie believing in me you know and i realized

that i i can't be afraid to do this anymore no fear no holding back i just

have to do whatever it takes to just follow my dreams with music does that

include singing yeah and you know spring break starts tomorrow And I just really

need to focus strictly on my music.

Well, honey, I am so behind you. I mean, I say go for it.

But, I mean, really, honey, is this about your career or about impressing

Eddie?

Jackie, you look like hell.

It's been a rough night, Tyler.

No, I meant that you should take a break. You know, get some coffee or a

stale donut or something.

Okay.

I am going a little stir-crazy. I hate hospitals.

Does anybody like them?

All those greedy doctors getting rich off them.

You want something?

No, I'm good. Coffee makes me a little jittery at this hour.

I'm here

right now.

Where's Eddie?

Eddie's not here.

Where's Eddie?

Look, I'm here. You don't need that guy.

Call Eddie.

Okay. I'll call him for you.

Hey, Eddie, it's Tyler. Look, I know we've had our differences in the past,

but I need to tell you something.

There's been a problem.

Chloe's in the hospital and she wants to see you. So come down here as soon as

you can.

Thanks.

I called Eddie for you, but I don't think he's going to come.

And I hate to say this, but that pampered diva, he doesn't care about

you. I'm sorry.

I'll come.

Dad, the last thing that I want to do is hurt Lauren. Trust me.

Can I make a suggestion?

Please, do.

Distance yourself from her now.

Before feelings start getting in the way. Dad, I'm working with her.

I know.

And just, you know, keep it strictly professional.

That's easier said than done.

Yo, what's up, Martin?

I'm kind of in the middle of something. What's going on?

What? What do you mean?

Are you for real? What do you mean? Where did you find that?

Yeah, where? Where?

What? What is it?

No way.

Dad, I should go. Where are you going?

I'm going to go to the hospital. Dad, I'm going to go.

I want to work hard because of my career.

This has nothing to do with Eddie. Why are you so opposed to this? Listen, I

think he sounds like a great guy. And it's obvious that he really likes you

and respects you.

But what, slow down and take it easy?

Well, he just got out of a failed relationship.

Mom, I don't get it. You're always the one who says go for it. Well, I'm not

saying don't go for it. I'm just saying go for it carefully.

And I just don't want to see you get hurt.

What makes you think that I will?

Mom, for all we know, this could be the best thing that ever happens to me.

Nothing would make me happier, sweetheart.

You know, Eddie says that whenever he likes a girl, he just jumps right in

with it, goes all in. But I don't do that. I've never done that. Well, that's

just not who you are, Lauren.

Right, and it drives me crazy.

That you're cautious?

Close my eyes and just jump into the deep end.

Well, I mean, it seems to me like the last couple weeks you've changed a lot.

I know. And now all of a sudden you're telling me to slow down?

Well, this is all very new for me, too. I mean, it's not like you've had a ton

of boyfriends.

But that's what makes this so special.

I would never try to take that away from you.

This is about Dad, isn't it?

That he left and he hurt you.

And you don't want that to happen to me. But, Mom, I...

I can't just be afraid to fall in love.

I know that sometimes I might get hurt.

And it might be really sad.

But that's part of the experience.

And I can't just live my life afraid because of that. Can I? No.

No, you can't. And you shouldn't.

I'm going to go to bed.

I'm sorry. This was probably the most amazing moment I've ever had. I just

wanted to enjoy that a little bit before you burst my bubble.

Lauren, Lauren, this... When your dad left, he didn't just break my heart,

okay? He hurt my four-year-old little girl, and I just don't want to see that

happen to you again.

I want you to fall in love with your whole heart, Benny.

You deserve it.

How come we've never done this before?

We've kissed.

Not like this.

Yeah, this is pretty awesome, isn't it?

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm kind of surprised you can kiss so well.

I should be offended at that, but I'm weirdly not.

I'm pretty good too, right?

You're okay.

Okay? I'm awesome. I've got, like, flawless technique.

Show me.

Oh, my God!

I'm sorry!

You barged in! Do I have any privacy?

I didn't see anything. Nothing to see. Nothing. I should probably get going.

It is getting a little late. Okay. Can we have a few minutes to say goodbye to

each other?

Okay.

With you not in the room.

Right. Right.

Sorry. Just keep the clothes on.

Dad.

Close the door, please.

Wait. What?

You obviously have no problem getting up in your dad's grill, but I don't want to

be caught in the middle of all of this. What? Why not?

I don't want to get on your dad's bad side.

I'd like to be allowed back sometime.

So, does that mean you want to do this again?

Um, yeah.

Didn't you say I was your boyfriend?

Yeah.

And isn't making out in your room a privilege of your boyfriend?

It most definitely is.

It was so cool. I kind of felt like a double agent.

You know, kind of like Jennifer Gardner in that show before she married Ben

Affleck or, wait, was it Matt Damon? And then had those kids.

Where'd you put the drugs?

In the back of a drawer.

I thought that you said that the police already checked there.

No, like in the way back, like where you would hide tampons.

I'll take your word for it.

So we have to wait a couple of days before we hit the clinic again.

I'm not sure about going back there.

What if we get caught?

I thought you said your dad believed your sweet lies.

Only because I'm a mastermind of manipulation.

Well, next time we'll know what we're doing.

Maybe we won't.

What do you mean? I overheard my dad talking on the phone, and he was talking

about changing all the security codes, reissuing key cards, and changing all

the card readers around the clinic.

We'll just have to find out the new codes.

Why are you so fixated on this robbery?

We have to do this to pay back Colorado.

Why do you even care about that reptile? I only care that he's not going to break

my legs. Or worse, yours.

Good evening, officers.

Is this your shop?

Yeah. I'm Colorado.

What can I do for you?

I'm doing a follow-up on a burglary investigation.

We haven't been burgling in a long time.

That's good.

One of my suspects, Phil Sanders, he claims to work here.

Is that true?

Yeah, he works here. Part-time.

I like to give breaks to young people.

That's very moving.

Is he in any kind of trouble? I mean, I don't want any troublemakers around

here. Do you have a search warrant for the premises?

Search away.

Thank you.

You two split the garage and the storage.

I'll take the office.

Sorry, Mr. Duran.

We'll be sure to keep the photographers outside the hospital.

Don't do anything to snap a picture. Listen, is there a back way out of here?

Yeah, I'll show you when you come back downstairs.

Okay, great. Thank you.

Tyler.

What the hell are you doing? Where's Chloe?

It's none of your business. Nobody wants to see you, Ed. That's Chloe's decision,

isn't it? She doesn't want to see you. I want to hear it from her.

No. You don't have the right.

You know why?

Because it's all your fault.

You want to fight me again?

You're the reason why she's here. You're the reason why she OD'd. It's not my

fault. Yes, it is. Take your best shot, Tyler. I bet we can find a doctor around

here. All right. Stop it. Stop it, you two.

I'm tossing you out of here. He started. He's the one that started. You're lying.

You pushed me.

You want me to bounce him?

No.

It's okay.

You're warned.

Thanks, Teddy. Thanks for saving me.

Where's Chloe?

Can I see her?

She doesn't want to see you. Nobody asked you.

She specifically requested that you be kept away.

Hey, babe.

Can you quit multitasking?

I'm trying to get you all hot and bothered here.

Yeah, I'm just looking at apartments that Kim sent me.

I thought I told you we need to cool it on that.

Yeah, well, it doesn't hurt to look.

Did you find anything?

Yes. Look at how cute this place is in West Hollywood.

It's nice.

Not $2,100 a month nice.

It's a good deal.

And look, we have our own patio.

I can't afford $2,000 right now.

God, you're a princess.

You need to be more practical. I can't afford any of these.

Okay, well, I have a certain standard of living.

We're not going to live in this dump.

It makes my skin crawl.

Well, I guess I'll just go legit then and become my dad's lackey at the

electronics store.

Your dad is so much cooler than mine.

No, he's not. He wants me to be his slave and stack boxes all day.

Yeah, well, he'd actually pay you.

What, do you want me to do this?

I don't know.

Maybe it's better than being here.

Babe, as long as we have each other, we're gonna be all right, right?

Yeah.

Totally. I just need a little time to scratch together some dough.

Even if we have to live in a trailer park and eat ramen noodles every day.

Deal with it, right?

Trying to avert my gaze.

I'm just trying to get a visual here.

Don't look totally innocent, all right? I'm just in a mild state of shock.

This is why I've been freaking out that she's going to discover boys and start

going wild.

Honey, it was not a Roman orgy. It was just two kids fooling around.

I know. I'm overreacting, but it's just so damn weird.

Why is it so weird?

She's our baby girl.

Oh, man. You know, it was just like yesterday. She had me sitting with her

until she fell asleep because she had a slimy troll living under her bed.

We have two college-age kids, Gus. How did this happen?

I truly have no idea.

Really, I still feel like a teenager myself half the time.

Do you remember when my dad walked in on us? Do I remember?

Good Lord, it's one of the most traumatizing experiences of my life.

Remember, he pulled me aside and gave me that lecture on respect.

Then he showed me his gum collection.

He loved to do that to scare the life out of boys.

Oh, my God, I think he thought that if they weren't strong enough to handle

that, they wouldn't be strong enough for his daughter. Oh, I'm glad I passed the

test. I wish it was multiple choice.

So, do you have a test for Adam?

If he's with Mel, he's already passed enough tests.

So I should probably talk to her, right?

About what?

What are you going to tell her to be careful? They go to public school,

honey. They see kids putting condoms on bananas all the time.

Oh, God.

I feel like I don't even know my kids at all.

Melissa Waltz is in here announcing she has a boyfriend, and Phil is holed up in

some fleabag motel hiding out from the law.

He's not a fugitive yet.

He's acting like one.

Why is he staying there?

Why won't he talk to us?

I feel like a failure as a parent.

Babe, do not put this all on your shoulders, okay?

You have been an amazing mom.

He is going to... He's going to get through this.

Are you afraid my dad's going to come back and taser you?

It crossed my mind.

You better kiss me one more time, then.

Seriously, you don't think he's angry at me, do you? No, Dad's super cool.

Now, if my mom had caught us, that would be a different story.

Wish I could stay.

Me too.

We never watched a romantic comedy.

That's okay.

Will you come back later and stand with the boombox over your head?

What are you talking about?

You've never seen Say Anything?

Oh my God, just yet another movie to add to the list.

Yeah, well, for every rom-com I watch this spring break, I'm gonna make you

watch a classic horror film.

Starting with Halloween, circa 1978.

Okay, deal.

Well, I really don't want to, but I... Yeah.

I should have been paying closer attention.

Honey, they are both adults now.

All right, Phil is old enough to be drafted.

Gus, there hasn't been a draft for a long time. Yeah, well, there should be.

Right? He needs to learn to take responsibility for himself. Then if he

makes bad decisions, they are his bad decisions, not ours. I know.

I wish I could let him go, but I just can't.

So, I've got to get going.

It was great seeing you guys.

Good night, sir.

I expect you to treat my daughter with absolute respect at all times. Is that

understood?

Of course.

Dad? Cool it. He's not one of your employees.

Good night to you, Mrs. Sanders.

Good night, Adam.

Thank you for coming to visit us. Please come back and visit us soon.

Yeah, it'll be great.

Okay, let's get you out of here before they drug you and ask you to become part

of their cult. Come on.

Good night.

Do you see how happy she looks?

Apparently, our daughter officially has a boyfriend.

She's acting like she won the lottery. You actually seem very happy about this.

Why wouldn't I be?

Do I need to get my lawyer on the phone?

Didn't find anything tying your shop to the investigation.

I guess I should be relieved.

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Excuse me, detective.

Yeah. It's Phil Sanders.

Is he a bad egg?

I mean, should I fire him?

I think that's between you and your human resources manager.

I'll be sure to bring it up with him at our next board meeting.

I'm curious.

Do you think that he's out there committing burglaries?

I think a man is innocent until proven guilty.

God bless America.

So until I hear different, I'm going to keep him on the payroll.

Can I help you with anything else?

No, we're good.

For now.

I'm so sorry, Nora. I know it's late, but I really need to talk to you.

No, yeah.

Can I come in? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come in. I'm sorry. I got your texts and your

messages. It's just been a really busy night.

With Don?

I'm sorry. That was inappropriate.

None of my business.

I just... He's the reason why I'm here.

I need to talk to you about him.

Ellie, it's really late.

Please, Nora, I know you don't trust me on this subject because he's made it out

like I have some sort of...

delusional romantic interest in him, which is infuriating, but I have made

peace with it because I really need this job.

Ellie, I am just, I'm really tired, and I just don't feel like rehashing all of

this again.

I don't either.

Don told you that somebody stole meds from the dispensary, right?

Yeah, yeah, he did.

Did he tell you that he thinks it's me?

Why would it matter if he told me that?

Because I think he's planning on firing me.

Nora, please.

I'm here as your friend.

I don't believe it.

Parking on Mulholland Drive with Eddie Duran. That just sounds like some kind

of crazy dream.

I know. It was so surreal.

You know, but the weird thing is that I'm actually kind of getting comfortable

with all that.

And then he drove you home?

Uh-huh.

And then what happened?

And then he walked me to the door.

Oh, was there tongue?

You know I don't kiss and tell.

Please, since when have we not told each other everything?

I told you every sort of detail about my rendezvous with that frisky foreign

exchange student.

Okay, yes, but I didn't ask for any of that information.

Come on, you were begging me for details about Rodis' love.

No, I wasn't, and this is completely different.

Fine. If you're too timid to discuss the romantic details of your life, then,

um... I guess we'll just have to talk about mine.

You and Adam?

Yeah, he just left my bedroom.

What? Where were your parents?

Downstairs. What?

How did this happen?

I don't know. I guess they must have realized I'm not 12 anymore.

Oh, my God. My dad totally caught us limbs entwined.

You were intertwining limbs already?

There's so much super, super hot limb entwining going on.

They're very, um, pretzel-y.

This is awesome.

It's so cool.

How crazy cool is it that we both have guys at the same time?

Hey babe, I got some water.

Do you want something to eat?

I'm so thirsty.

Here, take this.

Can you help me? Yeah, sit up a little bit.

I'll try.

There you go.

Tell me the truth, Jackie.

Did Chloe try to kill herself?

I should not be talking about this with you.

Come on, Jackie, I have a right to know.

It was an accident. It wasn't about you.

She just mixed a bad combination of prescription drugs, that's all.

It had nothing to do with you. I have to see her.

Eddie, stop.

Please, don't go in there.

Chloe is confused enough as it is.

You're just going to make it worse.

I knew it.

Knew what?

I knew this guy Colorado was trouble.

Phil's boss?

Yeah.

You see, I'm like a shady character when I met him, so I did a background check

on him.

Whoa, law and order, the home game.

How'd you manage that?

It's just a service I subscribe to. I background check every new employee.

You should have told me we could have background checked our new housekeeper.

I did. She's clean.

What did you find?

Well, I wanted to find out his real name, so I did an ownership search on

his shop.

That's his real name? Yeah.

He's got a police record.

Are you kidding? What kind of record?

He's been arrested multiple times for robbery.

What do you know?

Our son is working for a felon.

Hey.

Where are you going?

Um, I should get home.

I thought you were going to spend the night.

We need to practice living together if we're going to get an apartment.

Yeah, I...

Can't tonight.

You know, my dad's already freaked out and I don't want him calling the cops on

me.

Babe, what's wrong?

Nothing. I should probably sleep in my own bed tonight.

Make it seem normal.

He's already suspicious of me as it is.

It's the motel, isn't it?

I know that you hate living here, but I promise you, I'm going to get you the

apartment that you deserve.

Okay, good.

I'm going to leave, though, okay?

Wait, wait, wait. Did I make you nervous?

The whole ramen noodles thing.

No.

It's always been a lifelong goal of mine. I was totally kidding.

I know.

That's okay.

I'm going to go home now, okay?

I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

Detective Conley.

Come on in.

Please excuse the late hour.

It's... It's important I speak to your son.

What are you accusing him of this time?

Nothing new.

I'm just following up on the computer theft.

Phil isn't here.

Do you know when he'll be back?

We're not expecting him anytime soon.

He doesn't live here anymore.

He moved out.

Can I ask you where I can find him?

Do I need to remind you this is a police investigation?

He's staying at the Silver Screen Motel in Koreatown.

Thank you.

Have a good night.

Phil, it's your mother.

A detective is on his way to see you.

I thought you should know.

He hasn't been returning my calls.

I hate to say it, honey, but maybe this is the wake-up call he needs.

Call your lawyer.

We have to keep Phil out of prison.

What is it, babe?

I need my phone.

Where's my phone?

You probably left it at home. I don't think it's here.

I need to call Eddie.

Look, forget Eddie, okay? The doctor said you need to relax.

Give me your phone.

I need to call him, please.

Babe, just relax, okay?

Come on, come on.

I just want to make sure Chloe's taken care of, okay? And I'll pay for the

hospital bills. I just want to make sure she gets the best treatment possible.

Eddie, I'm her mother. I can take care of that.

What happened to Chloe wasn't your fault, and I appreciate what you're

trying to do here, but I just think it's best you leave right now.

Fine. Okay, I'll leave.

But, Jackie, you gotta do me this one favor.

Please, update me on Chloe's condition. I need to know that she's okay.

I think I can do that.

Okay.

Take care, Jackie.

You gotta be kidding me.

Do you have no shame, huh? Do you have no shame?

You think it's okay to disregard people's privacy?

A lot of questions, Eddie. What about you? What are you doing here?

You and Chloe back together?

You take a picture. I swear I'll smash that camera.

Is that Eddie? No, that's not him. Look, you're imagining things. It must be.

Eddie! Doctor said you need to get some rest. Please, please. Eddie, I'm here!

Eddie! Oh, you're gonna hurt yourself. Eddie!

Let me out!

Just stop. Eddie!

I have to be honest.

I really don't want to get in the middle of whatever's going on between you and

Don. I understand that, and I hate doing this to you, but I really need to know

if he's going to fire me.

Well, why don't you just ask him that directly?

Because he's not going to give me a straight answer.

You're close with him. You've got his ear.

I would really like to keep my relationship with Don separate from

office politics.

Nora, I cannot afford to lose this job right now.

I didn't steal those drugs.

You know me better than that. I don't know. I thought I did, but... After all

those allegations you made about Dawn, I don't know what to believe.

If I stole those meds, why would I report it?

And why would I use my own key card? That doesn't make any sense.

No, I know, it doesn't.

Look, I am really sorry I ever said anything to you about Dawn.

I can see that you guys are getting serious.

But Nora, please, I need your help.

What's the big emergency?

Is it your hair?

Why? What's wrong with my hair?

Nothing. Just, you texted me one time, 911, when your color screwed up your

hair. Okay, it was an emergency. He practically made me brunette.

Whoa. You don't need to be so defensive.

I'm just upset.

It's Phil.

Did he get arrested?

No. Way worse. Okay, his dad cut him off financially.

Now he's living in this sorry-ass motel, and he suggested that we move into a

trailer park.

And not the cute kind that McDreamy lives in.

Wait, I thought he was making good money off of all of his after-school jobs.

Yeah, he was until that creep show that he was working for stopped paying him

for the last job that he did.

Which means that we're not moving into our Beverly Hills love nest anytime

soon.

Your lip gloss rocks, by the way.

Oh, I know.

Poisonberry. You want some?

Pour pour.

But anyway...

Does all this even matter?

I thought you were in love with him.

I am. We're good together.

And he's a grade-A hottie.

Yeah, and the whole bad boy thing puts him off the charts.

So what's the problem?

Money. I mean, he's broken. I'm used to a high standard of living.

I'm not going to give that up just to live like other people.

People with bad teeth.

So what are you going to do?

I don't know.

The sex has gotten really juicy.

It's better in a dirty motel than in a four-star hotel.

Yeah, it's weird. I know. It's just, it's brought us so close together that I

don't want to give that up.

And then those robberies, they were really rad until they started getting

dangerous.

Dangerous? The creepy guy that he works for, he's scary, and now he's mad at

Phil. So now we have to do this job that, like, is just risky.

Could you go to jail, Amy?

No. People like me don't go to jail.

Do they?

No. I mean, not usually, but Phil.

I know, but that's why I'm worried.

He's on a really dangerous path.

What are you saying?

Are you gonna break up with him?

You really think I didn't see you looking out the window?

Phil.

Open the door.

Let's just talk.

Now get out of here. I'll have a security call and get you arrested.

Eddie.

I knew you'd come.

I knew you still cared about me.

So?

So what?

So, have you heard from Eddie since the big kiss?

Has he called, texted, sent you a strippogram?

No, but he did inspire me. I'll bet.

Yeah, I started writing a song.

About Eddie?

Sort of.

And his magnificent tongue down your throat?

Yeah, that's the title.

Magnificent tongue down my throat.

I smell a hit. A big, wet, sloppy hit.

What is wrong with you?

What? I'm happy for you.

This is how I express my happiness with disgusting comments about making out

with rock stars.

You should have known this when you told me about the kiss. So, really, who's at

fault here? You're right. That's my bad. I should stop telling you about these

things. No, no, no, no, no. I need to hear this stuff.

It's like oxygen to me. I must have it.

Can I at least hear the song? Well, it's not really a finished song. It's just a

part of it. Okay, but seriously, I want to hear it.

Unless it's too, um, intimate?

Mel?

There's a new picture of Eddie that you need to see.

Yeah, no, I just got the same alert. I'm looking at it right now.

I was just with him.

That skank!

I bet she orchestrated this entire thing just to win Eddie back.

Looks like it's working.
