‫- PREVIOUSLY ON ‫ "SWITCHED AT BIRTH"... ‫ - REGINA, UM,

‫ANYTHING ‫IN THE HOUSE IS YOURS. ‫WE HAVE A FULL BAR--

‫I'M SOBER, KATHRYN.

‫I'VE BEEN SOBER FOR ‫11 AND A HALF YEARS.

‫- WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ‫- TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ‫ WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF

‫NOW THAT I'M NO LONGER ‫A HAIRDRESSER.

‫- REGGIE? ‫- HI! WHAT'S IT BEEN, ‫ 15 YEARS?

‫- YEAH. ‫- KATHRYN, THIS IS ZANE.

‫ZANE, KATHRYN.

‫WHY DON'T WE CALL A TRUCE?

‫( sighs ) ‫HI! SHOULDN'T YOU ‫STILL BE AT SCHOOL?

‫MY LAST CLASS ‫WAS STUDY HALL.

‫HEY, DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THOSE ‫SEA-SALT PITA CHIP THINGIES?

‫YEAH. ‫WAIT WAIT WAIT!

‫- WASH YOUR HANDS. ‫- OH, SORRY.

‫I'M DOING ‫POTTERY WITH REGINA-- ‫THROWING CLAY.

‫IT'S SUPER ‫WET AND SHAPEY.

‫- SHE CAN DO THAT ‫ WITH HER HANDS? ‫- THAT'S THE COOL PART.

‫SHE JUST TELLS ME ‫WHAT TO DO AND I DO IT.

‫IT'S LIKE I'M HER HANDS. ‫TOTAL VULCAN MIND MELD.

‫WELL, I'M GONNA BE MAKING ‫TURKEY MEATBALLS LATER.

‫MAYBE YOU CAN COME ‫AND BE MY HANDS.

‫THAT'S HILARIOUS. ‫YOU KNOW WHAT--

‫I THINK I'M JUST GONNA ‫HAVE DINNER OVER THERE

‫'CAUSE WE STILL MIGHT BE, ‫LIKE, IN THE ZONE.

‫ONCE MORE INTO THE CLAY!

‫"AND HOW DO YOU PROPOSE ‫PAYING FOR THIS NEW ‫RESOURCES BOARD?"

‫UH, WELL...

‫- ( sighs ) ‫- THROUGH THE CLOSING

‫- OF LOOPHOLES-- ‫- CLOSING OF TAX LOOPHOLES ‫ IN THE STATE TAX CODE

‫- WILL GENERATE ‫ THE NECESSARY REVENUES. ‫- OKAY. OKAY.

‫HEY, CAN I INTERRUPT ‫FOR A SECOND?

‫- ABSOLUTELY YOU MAY. ‫- SO I'M THINKING ABOUT APPLYING

‫- TO WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. ‫- OH!

‫- WASH U. ‫- BUT IT'S COMPETITIVE,

‫SO A FAMILY CONNECTION

‫- WOULD REALLY HELP OUT. ‫- OKAY.

‫GRANDPA BILL WENT ‫TO WASH U, DIDN'T HE?

‫TOBY, YOU GET GOOD GRADES,

‫YOU'RE GOING TO A GOOD SCHOOL. ‫YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE.

‫HONEY, HE'S NOT WRONG. ‫THESE DAYS YOU HAVE TO ‫PRESS EVERY ADVANTAGE.

‫A RECOMMENDATION ‫FROM SOMEONE WHO HASN'T ‫BEEN THERE IN 40 YEARS?

‫- WHAT GOOD IS THAT GONNA DO? ‫- CAN I AT LEAST ASK, THOUGH?

‫- I MEAN, WHAT'S THE HARM? ‫- WELL, IT'S YOUR APPLICATION.

‫DO WHAT YOU WANT.

‫I NEED A BATHROOM BREAK. ‫BE RIGHT BACK.

‫WELL, I KNOW GRANDPA BILL ‫ISN'T COMING OVER

‫FOR SUNDAY DINNERS, ‫BUT I CAN'T EVEN ASK ‫FOR A FAVOR?

‫HE SAID YES. ‫I'D JUST RUN WITH THAT.

‫TWO VODKA ROCKS, ‫ONE WITH A TWIST. HANG ON.

‫EXCUSE ME. ‫YOU'RE WITH ZANE, RIGHT?

‫- UM... ‫- OH, SORRY.

‫NOT ASKING ‫FOR A STATUS UPDATE.

‫IT'S JUST COULD YOU TAKE ‫THIS TRAY UP TO THE GUYS?

‫I'M A LITTLE ‫SLAMMED HERE.

‫- SURE. ‫- YOU ARE OVER 21, RIGHT?

‫( chuckles ) ‫NICE TRY.

‫A LITTLE FLATTERY ‫TO GREASE THE WHEELS. ‫YOU KNOW WHAT? HERE.

‫FOR YOU.

‫I CALL IT ‫A "HEADLESS HORSEMAN."

‫- LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. ‫- OKAY.

‫Zane: ‫ NO, MAN, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT. ‫ I TOLD YOU.

‫HEY, IF I'M GONNA ‫SELL MY SOUL, I AT LEAST ‫WANT TO RIDE IN A LIMO.

‫WHO IS ‫SELLING THEIR SOUL?

‫ZANE'S TRYING TO BOOK US ‫INTO SOME CORPORATE DEATH MARCH.

‫IT'S EVENT, STAN. ‫IT'S AN EVENT.

‫YOU CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT, ‫I DON'T DO BACKGROUND MUSIC.

‫TRY BEING UNEMPLOYED. ‫THAT'LL GET YOU OVER ‫YOUR INTEGRITY.

‫PLEASE. HE'S A DRUMMER. ‫THEY'RE NEVER UNEMPLOYED.

‫HERE IS TO WORKING ‫FOR AN HONEST LIVING.

‫- Regina: HEAR HEAR. ‫ - SALUT.

‫- IS THAT YOURS? ‫- OH, UM...

‫I'M ON A CLEANSE.

‫I GOTTA HIT ‫THE LITTLE DRUMMER'S ROOM.

‫- I LIKED YOUR SET. ‫- I LIKED HAVING YOU HERE.

‫YOU ARE NOT GONNA CALL ME ‫A "MUSE" AT ANY POINT, ‫ARE YOU?

‫- NOT OUT LOUD, NO. ‫- ( laughs )

‫I'M GONNA HAVE ‫TO GO PRETTY SOON.

‫NO NO-- YOU GOTTA ‫STAY FOR MY NEXT SET.

‫ZANE, I HAVE TO MAKE ‫BREAKFAST AT 7:00 A.M.

‫OKAY, I TURN ON ‫A COFFEE POT, ‫BUT STILL.

‫LOOK, REGGIE, ‫YOU'RE HERE.

‫THE NIGHT'S YOUNG. ‫THE MUSIC'S GOOD.

‫I WILL HAVE YOU HOME ‫BY MIDNIGHT.

‫I PROMISE.

‫( sighs )

‫CAN I GET A CLUB SODA?

‫AND, HERE, ‫YOU CAN TAKE THIS.

‫WHAT?

‫"GRAVES"? ‫UH, NO.

‫I-- THROWING CLAY.

‫POTTERY?

‫MY MOM ‫IS TEACHING ME.

‫UH, PAINTING MOSTLY.

‫BUT, YEAH. ‫YOU?

‫OKAY.

‫YEAH, ‫I'LL CHECK IT OUT.

‫- HEY. ‫- HEY THERE.

‫I, UH-- I HEARD

‫THAT YOU PLAY. ‫AND I STARTED A LITTLE

‫PICKUP GAME AT LUNCH. ‫SO YOU SHOULD JOIN.

‫I REALLY HAVEN'T PLAYED MUCH ‫SINCE THEY CUT OUR ‫BASKETBALL TEAM.

‫YOU KNOW WHAT? ‫IF YOU CAN DRIBBLE ‫OR YOU CAN SHOOT

‫YOU'RE GONNA BE THE M.V.P. ‫OF THIS TEAM. ‫I PROMISE YOU.

‫( laughing )

‫SO IT LOOKS LIKE ‫YOU'RE STARTING TO FEEL ‫AT HOME HERE?

‫YEAH, YOU KNOW, WHEN LIFE ‫GIVES YOU LEMONS...

‫WAIT-- HEY! ‫WE'RE NOT LEMONS.

‫BAD CHOICE OF WORDS.

‫- BAD A.S.L.! ‫- ( laughing )

‫STUPID EXPRESSION ANYWAY ‫BECAUSE I DON'T EVEN ‫LIKE LEMONADE

‫- OR LEMONS. ‫- OH, THAT'S TOO BAD.

‫BECAUSE MY LEMON MERINGUE ‫IS AWESOME!

‫- MMM! HEY MAN. ‫- ( both chuckle )

‫SO NO LUNCHTIME HOOPS.

‫WHAT ABOUT ‫A LITTLE ONE-ON-ONE ‫AFTER SCHOOL MAYBE?

‫ACTUALLY I HAVE PLANS ‫AFTER SCHOOL WITH TRAVIS.

‫DO YOU KNOW TRAVIS? ‫HE'S DEAF?

‫WE'RE GONNA TAKE OUT ‫MY FOOD TRUCK.

‫ALL RIGHT.

‫HEY.

‫SO THAT'S IT.

‫DOES THE PLAY ‫TAKE PLACE IN--

‫I DON'T KNOW THE SIGN ‫FOR "DUNGEON"--

‫LIKE A CASTLE BASEMENT?

‫UH...

‫YOU KNOW ‫WHAT YOU COULD DO? ‫PROJECTIONS.

‫MAYBE SOME SOVIET PHOTOS ‫OR ARTWORK OR SOMETHING.

‫OH! ‫YOU COULD HANG FABRIC

‫IN LIKE STRIPS, ‫YEAH, SOMETHING SHEER,

‫THAT WAY IT HAS ‫ALL THESE LAYERS.

‫STUDENTS? ‫STUDENTS, CAN WE GATHER ‫TOGETHER PLEASE?

‫I'M SORRY TO INFORM YOU ‫THAT YOUR DIRECTOR

‫WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE ‫WITH THIS PRODUCTION.

‫AS YOU KNOW, ‫CARLTON HAS BROUGHT IN ‫SOME NEW PROGRAMS,

‫AND WE'VE HAD ‫TO ELIMINATE OTHERS.

‫AND IN SPITE ‫OF THESE CHANGES,

‫WE ARE STILL STRUGGLING ‫FINANCIALLY.

‫AND, AS DIFFICULT AS IT IS ‫FOR ME TO TELL YOU THIS,

‫WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO

‫THE SPRING PRODUCTION ‫THIS YEAR.

‫NO, NO ONE HAS BEEN FIRED.

‫WE CANNOT PAY ‫THE DIRECTOR'S SALARY ‫AND HE HAD TO MOVE ON.

‫I THANK YOU ALL ‫FOR YOUR ENERGY

‫AND YOUR PASSION ‫AND YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

‫WE'LL TRY AGAIN ‫NEXT YEAR.

‫I'M REALLY SORRY.

‫AND JUST LIKE THAT, ‫THE ENTIRE DRAMA ‫PROGRAM GETS CUT?

‫IT WASN'T REALLY ‫A WHOLE PROGRAM.

‫IT WAS MORE OF ‫AN AFTER-SCHOOL THING.

‫YOU KNOW, SWEETIE, ‫IF YOU WANT TO PAINT SETS,

‫THERE'S THIS REALLY GREAT ‫PROGRAM AT BUCKNER.

‫WELL-FUNDED IN PART BY US, ‫I MIGHT ADD.

‫DAD, I AM NOT GOING ‫BACK TO BUCKNER.

‫THAT'S THE BUMMER ‫ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING.

‫I WAS FINALLY STARTING ‫TO FIT IN AT CARLTON

‫AND NOW THIS IS ‫YET ANOTHER THING

‫THAT WAS KILLED OFF ‫BY THE HEARING KIDS.

‫THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID? ‫THEY CUT THE PLAY BECAUSE ‫OF THE HEARING PROGRAM?

‫THEY MIGHT AS WELL HAVE.

‫YOU KNOW WHAT? ‫I'M JUST-- I'LL BE--

‫- BACK FOR DINNER. ‫- I'M GONNA MAKE A COUPLE ‫ OF CALLS ABOUT THIS.

‫OH, MOM, NO. ‫I WOULDN'T.

‫HONESTLY, ‫IT'S A DONE DEAL.

‫HAVE YOU NOT SEEN ‫YOUR MOTHER IN ACTION? ‫NOTHING IS A DONE DEAL.

‫FIGHTING FOR ARTS ‫IN PUBLIC EDUCATION?

‫THEY BETTER WATCH OUT.

‫HEY! CAN I TALK ‫TO YOU GUYS?

‫- CHANGING OF THE GUARDS. ‫- NO, STAY.

‫I WANT TO TAKE ‫THE FOOD TRUCK OUT AGAIN ‫TOMORROW AFTER SCHOOL.

‫SWEETIE, WE TALKED ‫ABOUT THIS, OKAY?

‫YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO BE ‫SETTING UP SHOP BY YOURSELF.

‫MY MOM SAID IT WAS OKAY. ‫AND I WON'T BE ALONE. ‫I'M GOING WITH TRAVIS.

‫REGINA SAYS IT'S OKAY...

‫OKAY, BUT I WANT YOU ‫BACK HERE BY 9:00.

‫- OKAY, OF COURSE. ‫- ALL RIGHT.

‫YES. ‫THANK YOU!

‫HEY HEY!

‫WHY ALL THE SECRET ‫SIGNING?

‫NOTHING!

‫SO WHY WASH U, HUH?

‫- WELL, YOU WENT THERE. ‫- ( chuckles )

‫I KIND OF LIKE ‫THE IDEA OF KEEPING UP ‫A FAMILY TRADITION.

‫WELL, YOUR FATHER ‫DIDN'T GO THERE.

‫HE DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE.

‫I GUESS SOMETIMES ‫FAMILY TRADITIONS ‫SKIP GENERATIONS.

‫- SO WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE? ‫- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

‫WELL, YOU DID TWO YEARS ‫OF LACROSSE AND QUIT.

‫YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ‫EXTRACURRICULARS?

‫ARE YOU FLUENT ‫IN ANY LANGUAGES?

‫A.S.L.-- SIGN LANGUAGE.

‫- EVER SINCE ‫ DAPHNE-- MY SISTER-- ‫- YEAH, I KNOW WHO YOU MEAN.

‫WELL, MUSIC REALLY ‫TAKES UP MOST OF MY TIME.

‫- I HAVE A BAND-- ‫- A ROCK AND ROLL BAND, I BET.

‫YEAH! ‫WELL, ALTERNATIVE ROCK, ‫BUT YEAH.

‫YOU KNOW, THE KIDS ‫YOU'RE COMPETING AGAINST--

‫THEY'VE BEEN DOING SOLOS ‫WITH THE ST. LOUIS SYMPHONY.

‫- WELL, THAT'S-- ‫- AND I JUST READ

‫ABOUT A KID ‫WHO SPENT HIS SUMMER

‫EXCAVATING MAYAN RUINS ‫IN GUATEMALA

‫AND THEN GOT ‫THE FINDINGS PUBLISHED ‫IN AN ARCHAEOLOGY JOURNAL.

‫SO FROM WHERE I SIT,

‫THERE'S JUST NOT MUCH HERE ‫TO DISTINGUISH YOU

‫FROM HUNDREDS OF OTHER KIDS ‫WHO ARE APPLYING.

‫WELL, THAT'S WHY I WANTED ‫TO ASK FOR YOUR HELP.

‫CAN I HAVE SOME KETCHUP?

‫- DO YOU HAVE ‫ ANY USE FOR THIS? ‫- Kathryn: NO.

‫I USE AN ELECTRIC.

‫OH, UM, SORRY. ‫ANYWAY, THIS MEETING?

‫YEAH, IT'S THIS AFTERNOON. ‫AND I PLAN ON GOING INTO ‫THAT PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

‫WITH A BATTERING RAM. ‫AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ‫MORE PARENTS WITH ME.

‫I AM SO WITH YOU ‫ON SAVING ARTS PROGRAMS.

‫BUT I CAN'T THIS AFTERNOON. ‫I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW.

‫- THAT'S TERRIFIC. WHERE? ‫- ANSWERING PHONES AT A SPA.

‫THAT COULD BE FUN-- ‫DISCOUNTED MASSAGES?

‫AT THIS POINT, ‫I'LL TAKE ANYTHING.

‫BECAUSE CLEARLY I NEED ‫TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

‫SO ARE YOUR ARMS ‫HURTING?

‫( sighs )

‫NOT IF I DON'T USE THEM.

‫AND DON'T WORRY, ‫I'M NOT DEPRESSED.

‫I'M JUST IN MY ROBE ‫BECAUSE I WAS OUT LATE.

‫REALLY?! ‫IS THIS WITH...?

‫ZANE. ‫I SAW HIS BAND ‫LAST NIGHT.

‫I KNEW IT. ‫DID I CALL IT OR WHAT?

‫YOU DID. ‫I'M JUST NOT SURE IT'S ‫THE RIGHT CALL FOR ME.

‫- WHY NOT? ‫- LOOK AT MY LIFE.

‫THIS ISN'T EXACTLY THE TIME ‫FOR ME TO BE HANGING OUT ‫AND LISTENING TO JAZZ,

‫AND ARGUING ABOUT ART ‫AND POLITICS AND THEN ‫GOING OUT FOR PANCAKES.

‫WHY NOT?

‫BECAUSE I'M NOT IN MY 20s.

‫I NEED A JOB, ‫A PLACE OF MY OWN

‫AND A HUSBAND ‫WHO ISN'T OUT GETTING ‫OTHER PEOPLE PREGNANT.

‫SORRY.

‫I KNOW YOU'RE GOING ‫THROUGH A LOT RIGHT NOW,

‫BUT THAT'S EXACTLY ‫WHY YOU NEED TO GO OUT.

‫SEE, THIS IS MY POINT. ‫WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH

‫THAT'S WHEN YOU NEED ‫CREATIVITY THE MOST.

‫STIMULATION, ‫INSPIRATION,

‫EXPRESSION-- ‫THESE ARE THE THINGS ‫THAT RENEW US

‫AND KEEP US GROWING ‫SO WE CAN FIGHT THROUGH ‫ANOTHER DAY.

‫YOU ARE READY TO TALK ‫TO THAT PRINCIPAL, ‫AREN'T YOU?

‫YEAH.

‫I APPRECIATE THE VALUE ‫OF ARTS IN EDUCATION,

‫- KATHRYN, I DO. ‫- I KNOW YOU DO--

‫BUT THAT DOESN'T ‫BALANCE MY BUDGET.

‫AND IF I DON'T BALANCE ‫MY BUDGET, THEN THERE IS ‫NO MORE CARLTON.

‫THEN GIVE IT TO US. ‫LET THE PARENTS ‫TAKE OVER THE PLAY

‫AND YOU JUST WORRY ‫ABOUT SAVING THE SCHOOL.

‫PLEASE! ‫IT WOULD MEAN ‫SO MUCH TO THEM.

‫WE JUST LOST ‫THE DIRECTOR.

‫I DON'T HAVE A SALARY ‫OR A PRODUCTION BUDGET.

‫I THINK THE SHIP HAS ‫SAILED ON THIS ONE.

‫- Daphne: THANK YOU. ‫- ♪ I TURNED THE CORNER ♪

‫♪ AND I SAW YOUR SMILE ♪

‫♪ IT TAKES ME BACK, ‫ TAKES ME BACK FOR A WHILE ♪

‫♪ TO A PLACE ♪

‫♪ I FEEL LIKE I BELONG ♪

‫♪ YOU GOT ME LAUGHING, ‫ LAUGHING LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO ♪

‫♪ IT'S REALLY SIMPLE, ‫ BUT I DIG THE THINGS YOU DO ♪

‫♪ YOU GOT A GLOW ♪

‫♪ FROM HEAD TO TOE... ♪

‫- ( vocalizing ) ‫ - ( laughing )

‫♪ IT'S SUCH A GOOD TIME. ♪

‫HI, HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

‫UH, TWO OF THE SPECIALS.

‫OKAY, SPICY ‫OR REGULAR?

‫- SPICY. ‫- SPICY.

‫YEAH.

‫- IS HE THROWING ‫ GANG SIGNS AT YOU? ‫- NO NO,

‫- IT'S SIGN LANGUAGE. ‫ WE'RE DEAF. ‫- FOR REAL?

‫- BUT YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID. ‫- I READ YOUR LIPS.

‫COOL.

‫WHO DO YOU WORK FOR? ‫I'VE NEVER SEEN ‫THIS TRUCK BEFORE.

‫- OH, IT'S MINE. ‫- YOURS?

‫- MM-HMM. ‫- DAMN.

‫I CAN HEAR AND SEE PERFECT-- ‫ALL I GOT IS AN OLD BIKE.

‫( laughs )

‫HEY, YOU KNOW ‫WHAT YOU SHOULD DO? ‫PUT YOUR PICTURE

‫ON THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK, ‫CALL IT "DEAF HOT TACOS."

‫WITH A FACE LIKE YOURS, ‫GUYS WILL BE LINING UP ‫AROUND THE BLOCK.

‫THANKS. ENJOY.

‫OOH, SCARY.

‫I'M SORRY ‫ABOUT THE MESS.

‫I PROMISE I'M GOING ‫TO CLEAN IT UP.

‫NO, IT'S FINE. ‫IT'S NICE HAVING ‫YOU WORK HERE.

‫I HATE TO BOTHER YOU ‫WHILE YOU'RE IN "THE ZONE,"

‫BUT I JUST WANTED ‫TO TELL YOU

‫THAT SOME WONDERFULLY ‫COMMITTED CARLTON PARENT

‫SPOKE TO PRINCIPAL ROSE ‫THIS AFTERNOON

‫AND IT LOOKS LIKE ‫THE PLAY IS BACK ON.

‫- SERIOUSLY? ‫ WHO DID THAT? ‫- ME.

‫THAT'S AMAZING! ‫THANK YOU.

‫REHEARSALS START ‫TOMORROW AFTER SCHOOL,

‫AND I AM SO EXCITED!

‫WHY ARE YOU SO EXCITED?

‫WELL, AS YOU KNOW, ‫THEY HAD TO CUT THE SALARY ‫OF THE DIRECTOR

‫BECAUSE OF THE BUDGET, ‫SO IT BECAME A VOLUNTEER ‫POSITION.

‫- YOU VOLUNTEERED. ‫- YEAH.

‫IT'S JUST ‫A STOPGAP MEASURE.

‫ARE YOU REALLY QUALIFIED ‫TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

‫I'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF PLAYS ‫AND I DIRECTED THE HOLIDAY ‫PAGEANT AT THE CHURCH--

‫RIGHT, UH... ‫YEAH, I KNOW.

‫I'M SURE IT'S GONNA BE FINE.

‫HEY, HOW DID IT GO ‫WITH YOUR GRANDFATHER?

‫UH, ACTUALLY NOT SO GOOD.

‫WHAT DO YOU MEAN? ‫IS HE GOING TO MAKE ‫THE CALL OR WHAT?

‫I DON'T KNOW. ‫HE DIDN'T SAY.

‫HUH. ‫SO WHAT DID HE SAY?

‫THAT I AM NOT ‫WASH U MATERIAL.

‫- HE SAID THAT? ‫- WELL YEAH, THAT I'M...

‫LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE ‫THAT'S APPLYING.

‫DID YOU TELL HIM ‫ABOUT YOUR MUSIC?

‫I TRIED, BUT HE JUST ‫KEPT CALLING IT A HOBBY.

‫HONESTLY, ‫I DON'T EVEN CARE.

‫OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? ‫LISTEN TO ME.

‫YOUR MUSIC, YOUR BAND-- ‫THESE ARE THINGS

‫THAT ARE GOING TO SET ‫YOUR APPLICATION APART.

‫AND YOUR GRANDFATHER...

‫( clears throat ) ‫HE'S NOT THE KIND OF MAN

‫TO OFFER ‫A LOT OF APPROVAL.

‫HE'S GOT HIS OWN IDEAS

‫ABOUT HOW THINGS ‫SHOULD GO.

‫AND IF YOU WANT ‫TO GO YOUR OWN WAY-- ‫LIKE, LET'S SAY,

‫TURN DOWN ‫A FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIP ‫TO THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA

‫TO PLAY BASEBALL ‫IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES--

‫NO AMOUNT OF SUCCESS

‫WILL MAKE HIM ‫COME AROUND.

‫ALL HE SEES

‫IS THAT YOU DIDN'T ‫DO IT HIS WAY.

‫WELL, IF I DID IT HIS WAY, ‫I'D BETTER START ‫HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN.

‫NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME.

‫THIS AFTERNOON, ‫YOU PUT IT OUT ‫OF YOUR HEAD.

‫YOU FINISH THOSE APPLICATIONS. ‫HE DOES NOT GET TO DERAIL YOU.

‫- BUT, DAD, I-- ‫- NO BUTS, TOBY.

‫YOU GET ‫THOSE APPLICATIONS IN.

‫SO WHAT WAS ‫THE THEORY AGAIN?

‫FAMILY CONNECTIONS ARE GONNA ‫HELP TOBY GET INTO COLLEGE?

‫- DID HE TALK TO YOUR DAD? ‫- OH YEAH.

‫JUST LONG ENOUGH ‫TO START THINKING HE DOESN'T ‫HAVE A SHOT AT GETTING IN.

‫- HOW DID HE DO THAT? ‫- I KNOW EXACTLY HOW HE DID IT.

‫PEERING OVER HIS GLASSES ‫LIKE YOU BOTH KNOW ‫IT'S THE TRUTH,

‫AND IF YOU CAN'T ADMIT IT, ‫YOU'RE A COWARD.

‫OKAY,

‫WE KNOW TOBY.

‫HE MAY GET PUSHED OFF ‫HIS AXIS FOR A DAY OR TWO,

‫BUT HE'LL THINK ABOUT IT

‫AND HE'LL COME BACK ‫STRONGER THAN EVER.

‫- YOU SURE ABOUT THAT? ‫- HE'S NOT LIKE YOU, JOHN.

‫- WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? ‫- IT MEANS HE DIDN'T GROW UP

‫HAVING TO DEFEND HIMSELF ‫ALL THE TIME.

‫HE HAS A LOVING FATHER

‫WHO SUPPORTS HIM. ‫HE'LL TAKE IT IN

‫AND THEN REMEMBER ‫WHO HE IS.

‫REGGIE, COME ON, ‫IT'S NOT EVEN ‫MIDNIGHT YET.

‫WHAT, IS YOUR CAR GONNA ‫TURN INTO A PUMPKIN?

‫HAVE YOU SEEN MY CAR? ‫BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE ‫AN IMPROVEMENT.

‫OKAY, HAVE YOU ‫HAD THE MARTINIS ‫AT THE GREEN MILL?

‫- BECAUSE IF YOU HAVEN'T-- ‫- ZANE, I GOTTA GET HOME.

‫DO YOU UNDERSTAND? ‫RESPONSIBILITY, ‫DAUGHTER,

‫- CRAPPY JOBS TO APPLY FOR. ‫- ALL OF WHICH WILL STILL ‫ BE THERE

‫- AFTER THE MARTINI. ‫- ( laughs )

‫HAVE YOU EVEN HAD A DAY JOB?

‫UH, HELL YES.

‫REUPHOLSTERING FURNITURE ‫IN MY UNCLE'S SHOP. ‫I WAS MISERABLE.

‫BY THE WAY, ‫IT'S NOT LIKE I'M LIVING ‫A LIFE OF LEISURE HERE.

‫BUT IT'S A HELL ‫OF A LOT MORE FUN.

‫( sighs )

‫YOU KNOW WHAT?

‫MAYBE I'M JUST ‫NOT IN A FUN PLACE ‫IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.

‫UH-OH.

‫YOU LIVE IN OZ,

‫AND I AM IN KANSAS

‫IN, LIKE, THE MIDDLE ‫OF A TORNADO.

‫- HOLD ON-- ‫- AND HONESTLY? I DON'T EVEN ‫ LIKE JAZZ ALL THAT MUCH.

‫( chuckles )

‫THERE SHE IS.

‫THERE'S THE GIRL ‫I REMEMBER.

‫I THINK SHE IS ‫LONG GONE.

‫YOU DON'T THINK ‫I HAVEN'T CHANGED EITHER?

‫I HAVE TWO GROWN GIRLS. ‫I HAVE AN EX-WIFE.

‫I'M PUTTING TOGETHER GIGS ‫WEEK TO WEEK.

‫I KNOW.

‫AND I REALLY LIKE ‫HANGING OUT WITH YOU.

‫BUT...

‫I GOTTA DEAL ‫WITH THE TORNADO.

‫( sighs )

‫TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

‫( exhales )

‫- HEY THERE. ‫- DAMN, THOSE TACOS ‫ WERE GOOD.

‫- THANKS. ‫- WHAT DO YOU PUT IN THEM?

‫MY SECRET INGREDIENT.

‫HEY, HOW DO YOU SAY "TACO" ‫IN SIGN LANGUAGE?

‫JUST HOW IT LOOKS-- ‫LIKE THIS.

‫THAT'S COOL.

‫- WHAT'S YOUR NAME? ‫- DAPHNE.

‫SO, DAPHNE,

‫YOU WANNA ‫GO OUT SOMETIME?

‫( faint rattling )

‫UH...

‫DO--

‫NO, DON'T! ‫NO!

‫- ( screaming ) ‫- Guy: LET GO!

‫- CATCH! ‫- C'MON, MAN! LET'S GO!

‫( sobs, gasping )

‫( groans )

‫( crying )

‫HEY.

‫HOW DID IT GO THE PARK? ‫DID YOU HAVE ENOUGH SHRIMP?

‫YEAH, WE HAD ENOUGH.

‫- ARE YOU OKAY? ‫- YEAH, UM,

‫I'M JUST TIRED. ‫I'M GOING TO GO TO BED.

‫OKAY.

‫( sighs )

‫LOOKS LIKE IT.

‫HELLO, EVERYBODY! ‫HELLO!

‫UM, GATHER AROUND, PLEASE.

‫COME ON, DON'T BE SHY.

‫MY NAME IS KATHRYN.

‫AND LET'S PUT ON A PLAY!

‫I KNOW THAT YOU ALREADY

‫STARTED REHEARSALS...

‫UM, UH,

‫THIS IS SO EXCITING.

‫I HAVE MY OWN INTERPRETER.

‫WE'RE ALL ‫STORYTELLERS, RIGHT?

‫SO PLEASE, ‫JOIN ME FOR THE STORY ‫OF ROMEO AND JULIET.

‫OKAY.

‫THIS IS THE STORY BALL.

‫WHEN YOU HOLD IT, ‫YOU HAVE

‫THE POWER ‫OVER THE STORY.

‫OKAY? ‫OH WAIT, I SEE--

‫YOU HAVE TO SIGN ‫AND HOLD THE BALL-- ‫THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK.

‫SO OKAY.

‫LET'S MAKE IT

‫AN IMAGINARY BALL. ‫YEAH?

‫ALL RIGHT, ‫HERE, BAY, CATCH!

‫OKAY, UH... ‫ONCE THERE WAS

‫A GIRL NAMED JULIET

‫AND SHE DID NOT WANT TO

‫MARRY THE GUY SHE WAS ‫SUPPOSED TO MARRY...

‫Interpreter: ‫ "SO SHE GOT INTO A SPACESHIP

‫AND STARTS HEADING OFF ‫INTO SPACE."

‫"WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ‫GOING OFF INTO SPACE!

‫THAT'S STUPID."

‫"THE SOVIET UNION? ‫ THAT WASN'T STUPID?"

‫WAIT, HOLD IT, HOLD IT.

‫WE DON'T USE ‫THE WORD "STUPID"! ‫ALL IDEAS ARE WELCOME!

‫COME ON, EVERYBODY. ‫OKAY-- EXCUSE ME?

‫EVERYONE, COME BACK, ‫PLEASE.

‫YOU-- IN THE BLUE? ‫CAN SOMEONE GET HER ATTENTION?

‫PLEASE. ‫OKAY, NOW WHO HAS THE BALL?

‫WHO HAS ‫THE IMAGINARY BALL?

‫YOU STAY HERE, OKAY?

‫- HELLO. ‫- HEY.

‫YOU AND TOBY ‫IN THE SAME WEEK.

‫- IT MUST BE MY BIRTHDAY. ‫- YEAH, I WANTED TO TALK ‫ TO YOU ABOUT THAT.

‫YOU KNOW, I DON'T EVEN ‫HEAR FROM YOU PEOPLE ‫FOR SIX YEARS,

‫AND THE DAY YOU SHOW UP, ‫YOU ASK ME FOR A FAVOR?

‫CALLING YOU WASN'T MY IDEA.

‫I TRIED TO TALK HIM ‫OUT OF IT.

‫- I THOUGHT WE HAD ‫ A NICE MEETING. ‫- OH YEAH?

‫IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK? ‫YOU THINK IT WAS NICE?

‫HE ASKED YOU ‫TO MAKE ONE CALL.

‫- I KNOW WHAT HE ASKED ME. ‫- THEN WHY COULDN'T YOU DO IT

‫WITHOUT ALL ‫THE LITTLE DIGS?

‫I TOLD HIM ‫I'D MAKE THE CALL

‫AFTER HE BEEFED UP ‫HIS RESUME.

‫YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED ‫TO CRITIQUE HIM.

‫HE WASN'T ASKING ‫FOR YOUR OPINION.

‫MAYBE, JUST MAYBE,

‫HE WANTED ‫A LITTLE SUPPORT.

‫HE'S GOT ‫SOME STIFF COMPETITION. ‫IF HE CAN'T TAKE THAT--

‫OH YEAH-- YEAH RIGHT. ‫YEAH.

‫THE BILL KENNISH ‫NO-BULL STRAIGHT TALK.

‫WELL, THANK YOU FOR BEING ‫THE ONLY PERSON

‫TO TELL IT TO HIM ‫LIKE IT REALLY IS.

‫YOU TURNED OUT ‫ALL RIGHT.

‫YOU CAN'T TAKE CREDIT ‫FOR ME.

‫WHAT I'VE DONE, ‫I'VE DONE IN SPITE OF YOU.

‫( chuckles )

‫YOU CAME ALL THE WAY ‫OUT HERE TO PICK THAT ‫SAME OLD FIGHT WITH ME?

‫SOME THINGS JUST ‫NEVER CHANGE, DO THEY?

‫YOU KNOW,

‫EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE ‫I ASK MYSELF IF I DID ‫THE RIGHT THING

‫KEEPING YOU OUT ‫OF MY KIDS' LIVES.

‫AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ‫FOR REMOVING ANY OF THAT DOUBT

‫ONCE AND FOR ALL.

‫YES, HELLO, I WAS HOPING ‫TO SPEAK WITH CINDY?

‫HI, CINDY, ‫THIS IS REGINA VASQUEZ.

‫WE MET YESTERDAY ABOUT ‫THE RECEPTIONIST POSITION?

‫OH, YOU FILLED IT.

‫UH-HUH, RIGHT.

‫WELL, I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE ‫SPECIFIC RECEPTIONIST EXPERIENCE

‫BUT I RAN MY OWN BUSINESS ‫FOR 12 YEARS, WHICH I THOUGHT--

‫WELL, IF YOU HAVE ‫ANY OTHER OPENINGS--

‫( sighs )

‫WELL, I WILL THINK ‫ABOUT THAT.

‫THANKS SO MUCH.

‫( groans )

‫KATHRYN WANTED YOU ‫TO HAVE THIS.

‫THEY ARE THE OUTLINES ‫TO THE STAGE.

‫SHE'S LOOKING FOR NEW ‫SET-DESIGN IDEAS.

‫"BUT BAY ALREADY ‫ HAD A GREAT IDEA."

‫- IT WAS JUST SOME PROJECTIONS. ‫- OH, THAT SOUNDS GREAT!

‫- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME? ‫- IT JUST HADN'T COME UP YET.

‫OH. WE'LL TALK ‫ABOUT IT AT HOME.

‫BUT I WANT YOU ‫TO KNOW THAT I AM ‫OPEN TO ALL IDEAS.

‫YEAH. THAT'S MY MOM.

‫SHE JUST WANTED TO.

‫( sighs )

‫THAT'S MY OTHER MOM. ‫THIS MOM DOESN'T REALLY ‫HAVE A LIFE OF HER OWN,

‫SO SHE'S ALWAYS ‫PUTTING HERSELF INTO MINE.

‫( exhales )

‫MOM.

‫IS THAT ‫WHAT YOU THINK OF ME?

‫THAT I DON'T HAVE A LIFE?

‫THAT I'M SOMEONE YOU NEED ‫TO APOLOGIZE FOR?

‫NO.

‫AND TO WHO?

‫THAT MEAN GIRL? ‫HER OPINION MEANS ‫THAT MUCH TO YOU?

‫I'M SORRY, ‫I WASN'T THINKING.

‫I HAVE FEELINGS, BAY.

‫I AM NOT JUST A ROBOT ‫WHO JUST PROVIDES FOR YOU

‫AND THEN DISAPPEARS ‫UNTIL YOU NEED ME AGAIN.

‫MOM-- MOM!

‫THAT'S NOT WHAT I THINK.

‫YOU THINK THAT BECAUSE ‫I AM NOT ARTISTIC

‫OR INDEPENDENT ENOUGH ‫FOR YOU,

‫YOU DON'T HAVE ‫TO BE KIND TO ME ‫OR SUPPORTIVE?

‫BAY, I DID THIS FOR YOU.

‫NO, YOU DIDN'T.

‫I'M SORRY, MOM, ‫BUT YOU DID THIS FOR YOU.

‫YOU ASKED ME ‫TO SAVE YOUR DRAMA CLUB!

‫I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO JOIN IT! ‫IT WAS MY THING.

‫IN TWO YEARS ‫YOU'RE GOING TO BE OUT ‫OF THE HOUSE FOREVER.

‫AND THIS THAT WE HAVE ‫TOGETHER RIGHT NOW?

‫IT'S GOING TO BE GONE.

‫I JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT ‫LAST A LITTLE LONGER.

‫( sighs )

‫( crickets chirping )

‫( exhales sharply )

‫( Kathryn sighs )

‫HEY.

‫YOU'D THINK ‫I'D HAVE LEARNED ‫TO LABEL THESE BUTTONS.

‫IT'S SO HARD ‫TO FIND A MATCH.

‫I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT ‫I SAID TO NATALIE.

‫I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A LIFE.

‫YOU KNOW ‫YOU WEREN'T WRONG

‫ABOUT ME BARGING IN ‫ON YOUR DRAMA CLUB.

‫YOU DIDN'T ASK ‫ FOR THAT.

‫AND AS SOON AS I CAN ‫FIND A REPLACEMENT, ‫I'LL STEP DOWN.

‫THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT.

‫SOMETIMES IT'S NOT JUST ‫ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT.

‫I KNOW.

‫I'M SORRY. ‫I FEEL SO BAD.

‫HONEY, COME HERE.

‫YOU ARE NOT ‫THE FIRST DAUGHTER ‫TO TORMENT HER MOTHER.

‫( both laugh )

‫I'LL GET OVER IT.

‫( sniffles )

‫- BUT I'M NOT SURE ‫ I REALLY LIKE THIS NATALIE. ‫- ( chuckles )

‫I DIDN'T EITHER... ‫AT FIRST,

‫BUT SHE'LL COME AROUND.

‫MMM.

‫I CAN'T WAIT. ‫( laughs )

‫HEY, I GOT YOUR TEXT.

‫HEY. SO,

‫I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH ‫WITH DARRYL,

‫MY OLD BATTING COACH ‫WITH THE ROYALS. ‫HE'S A WASH U ALUM.

‫TURNS OUT HIS BROTHER ‫IS A DEAN OVER THERE.

‫HE WANTS TO SIT DOWN ‫WITH YOU AND CALL ‫HIS BROTHER

‫WHO'S GOT A LITTLE PULL.

‫- OH. ‫- C'MON! ‫ THIS IS GREAT NEWS.

‫YEAH, IT'S JUST--

‫I DON'T KNOW. ‫I'VE BEEN THINKING.

‫I ONLY APPLIED TO WASH U ‫BECAUSE MY COUNSELOR ‫SAID I SHOULD.

‫- IF YOU DON'T ‫ WANT TO GO THERE-- ‫- ANY COLLEGE REALLY.

‫I MEAN I ONLY APPLIED ‫BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT ‫YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO--

‫AH, NO NO. ‫IT'S ABOUT GROWING UP

‫AND STARTING LIFE ‫AS AN ADULT.

‫BUT COLLEGE ISN'T ‫THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT.

‫YOU SAID YOU NEVER GREW UP ‫FASTER THAN THAT SUMMER

‫YOU PLAYED BASEBALL ‫FOR THAT CAPE COD LEAGUE ‫WHEN YOU WERE 17.

‫- I WAS ON A DIFFERENT PATH. ‫- I DON'T EVEN KNOW ‫ IF I HAVE A PATH.

‫SEE THAT RIGHT THERE?

‫THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT ‫YOUR GRANDFATHER WANTED:

‫GET UNDER YOUR SKIN ‫AND MAKE YOU DOUBT YOURSELF.

‫DAD, THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU ‫AND GRANDPA AND WHO'S RIGHT.

‫IT'S ABOUT ME ‫AND WHAT I WANT.

‫YOU KNOW WHAT, ‫IT'S OKAY TO BE NERVOUS ‫OR EVEN HAVE DOUBTS.

‫COLLEGE IS A BIG CHANGE,

‫BUT YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE ‫SUMMER AHEAD OF YOU.

‫DO WHAT YOU WANT--

‫TRAVEL, PLAY MUSIC, ‫LOAF AROUND.

‫NO PRESSURE.

‫YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE UP ‫YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW.

‫WELL, I HAVE MADE UP ‫MY MIND.

‫I'M NOT GOING ‫TO COLLEGE NEXT YEAR.

‫HEY. SO DID YOU DO

‫A SET DESIGN IDEA?

‫OH.

‫NO, I GET IT.

‫WE HAVE A PRETTY SERIOUS ‫SITUATION HERE.

‫THE SCHOOL HAS NO MONEY ‫FOR ANY OF THIS-- NOTHING.

‫NOT FOR SETS, ‫NOT FOR COSTUMES,

‫NOT FOR INTERPRETERS

‫AND DEFINITELY NOT ‫FOR DRAMA TEACHERS.

‫SO WE NEED ‫TO BE DOING THIS,

‫ALL OF US,

‫SOLELY OUT OF LOVE.

‫LOVE FOR THE THEATER,

‫AND LOVE FOR WORKING ‫TOGETHER AS A TEAM--

‫EACH OF US ‫WITH DIFFERENT TALENTS

‫AND DIFFERENT IDEAS, ‫COMING TOGETHER

‫TO CREATE SOMETHING ‫THAT JUST MIGHT BE...

‫GREAT.

‫SO IF YOU'RE READY ‫TO DO THIS WITH ME,

‫THEN STAY. ‫AND IF YOU'RE NOT,

‫THEN IT'S TIME TO GO.

‫GOOD. ‫THEN LET'S GET STARTED.

‫I'VE MADE SOME COPIES ‫OF THE OPENING SCENE...

‫AND HERE YOU GO.

‫- Zane: HEY. ‫ - DID I MISS ‫ YOUR WHOLE SET?

‫PERFECT TIMING ACTUALLY.

‫WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO GO ‫GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

‫YOU GUYS GO. ‫I'M NOT THAT HUNGRY.

‫Bartender: ‫ AW MAN, JACKPOT!

‫SOMEBODY LEFT LIKE ‫HALF A BORDEAUX.

‫IT'S A $300 BOTTLE, PEOPLE.

‫- WHO'S IN? ‫- CAN'T PASS THAT UP.

‫REGINA?

‫YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK ‫FANTASTIC TONIGHT.

‫WHERE ARE ‫ YOU GUYS HEADED?

‫UH, EMERALD CITY.

‫♪ IT'S JUST ‫ A VACATION... ♪

‫- Bartender: NICE, RIGHT? ‫ - BEAUTIFUL.

‫GUESS YOU'RE DONE ‫WITH THAT CLEANSE.

‫ALL DONE.

‫SO, REGINA, ‫WHAT DO YOU DO?

‫COSMETOLOGY ‫FOR A LOT OF YEARS,

‫BUT I'M OPEN TO SOMETHING ‫NEW RIGHT NOW.

‫REGINA CAME HERE

‫EVER SINCE T.J. ‫WAS RUNNING IT.

‫- NO. ‫- ( Regina chuckles )

‫YOU'RE THE ONE THAT ‫CAN DANCE, RIGHT?

‫- OH, SHE CAN? ‫- I'VE HEARD OF HER!

‫( conversation fades )
