‫PREVIOUSLY ON ‫ "SWITCHED AT BIRTH"...

‫I BELIEVE ‫WITH MY WHOLE SELF

‫THAT THERE IS A GOD, ‫BUT YOU DON'T SHARE IT ‫WITH ME.

‫IT'S JUST GONNA HURT US EVEN ‫MORE IF WE DON'T END IT NOW.

‫NO, HE SEEMS ‫LIKE A GOOD PERSON. ‫I CAN'T REALLY...

‫CAN'T REALLY SAY ‫THE SAME THING ABOUT... HER. ‫( chuckles )

‫Toby: ‫ OH, MY DAD'S OPPONENT?

‫- ELISA! ‫- ( gasps )

‫- HI. ‫- GET DRESSED.

‫- BOTH OF YOU. ‫- YOUR MOM IS PATRICIA SAWYER.

‫I REALLY DO LIKE YOU. ‫IT WAS FUN.

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

‫TWO GLASSES ‫OF BUBBLY, PLEASE.

‫I'M NOT FEELING VERY WELL. ‫I JUST NEED TO CRAWL INTO BED.

‫( kicks )

‫( knocks )

‫HARK! WHO KNOCKETH ‫UPON MY DOOR?

‫MAYBE I HAVE ‫THE WRONG HOUSE.

‫I HAVE SHAKESPEARE ON THE BRAIN. ‫I'M TRYING TO LEARN MY LINES.

‫- WHAT'S UP? ‫- IS REGINA HERE?

‫NOPE, SHE'S OUT ‫RUNNING ERRANDS.

‫YOU COULD TRY HER CELLPHONE. ‫DO YOU WANT SOME TEA?

‫NO THANKS. ‫UH...

‫ACTUALLY WANTED ‫TO TALK TO YOU.

‫HAVE YOU NOTICED

‫ANYTHING DIFFERENT ‫ABOUT YOUR MOM?

‫WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

‫I'M JUST WONDERING ‫IF IT'S POSSIBLE--

‫IF MAYBE SHE'S...

‫STARTED DRINKING AGAIN.

‫( scoffs ) ‫WHAT ARE YOU ‫TALKING ABOUT?

‫THE OTHER NIGHT ‫SHE CAME HOME IN A CAB--

‫HER CAR BROKE DOWN.

‫BUT SHE WAS WALKING ‫AND SHE WAS TALKING ‫KIND OF STIFF,

‫LIKE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING ‫TO ACT LIKE YOU'RE NOT DRUNK.

‫AND I KNOW THAT THINGS ‫HAVE BEEN REALLY STRESSFUL ‫LATELY FOR HER,

‫WITH HER HANDS ‫AND LOOKING FOR A JOB

‫AND THE WHOLE ANGELO ‫AND LANA THING.

‫( cup thuds )

‫DID YOU KNOW THAT MY MOM AND I ‫LIVED IN OUR CAR FOR A WEEK

‫WHEN I WAS IN FIRST GRADE?

‫I HAD STREP THROAT AND SHE ‫USED THE RENT MONEY

‫TO TAKE ME TO THE DOCTOR ‫AND BUY ANTIBIOTICS.

‫DO YOU KNOW ‫WHAT SHE DIDN'T DO?

‫- DRINK. ‫- TRUST ME,

‫THE ANGELO DRAMA ‫AND THE PROBLEMS WITH HER HANDS

‫- ARE NOT WORSE THAN THAT. ‫- AND YOU'RE NOT WORRIED

‫THAT SEEING ‫THIS JAZZ-CLUB GUY ‫FROM THE OLD DAYS MI--

‫IF MY MOM WAS DRINKING, ‫I'D KNOW ABOUT IT.

‫( breathes heavily )

‫( sighs )

‫( sighs )

‫THERE'S THIS FRENCH FILM ‫THAT ANGELO TOLD ME ABOUT.

‫IT'S PLAYING AT THAT ‫LITTLE THEATER ‫BY U.M.K.C.

‫- MMM, SUBTITLES? ‫- OKAY, THAT'S A "NO."

‫OH YEAH! ‫WE COULD GO A.T.V.ing.

‫THERE'S A FIELD ‫BEHIND MY HOUSE.

‫MY PARENTS ‫ALREADY HAD ONE LAWSUIT. ‫BEST NOT MAKE IT TWO.

‫OKAY. ‫SCOTTY McCREERY.

‫- HE'S PLAYING ‫ AT THE PALLADIUM. ‫- COOL!

‫WHO IS HE AGAIN?

‫THE COUNTRY SINGER? ‫"AMERICAN IDOL"?

‫YOU KNOW WHAT? ‫WE'LL KEEP TRYING.

‫OH, HOW "DOWNTON ABBEY" ‫OF YOU!

‫- HUH? ‫- NEVER MIND.

‫( chuckles )

‫( exhales sharply, ‫chuckles )

‫THERE SHE IS. ‫WILL YOU MAKE SURE

‫- EVERYBODY KEEPS WORKING? ‫- YEAH.

‫I AM SO SORRY I'M LATE. ‫THERE WAS THIS CHEM LAB AND--

‫IT'S OKAY. CAN I TALK ‫TO YOU FOR A SECOND?

‫- YEAH. ‫- I'VE HAD TO DO

‫A BIT OF RE-SHUFFLING ‫IN THE CAST.

‫AMY DROPPED OUT ‫AND I THINK

‫YOU'D BE THE BEST PERSON ‫TO TAKE OVER HER PART.

‫- JULIET? ‫- JULIET.

‫I BARELY LEARNED ‫THE NURSE.

‫I'M NOT EVEN ‫TAKING DRAMA.

‫BUT YOU PICKED IT UP ‫SO FAST

‫- AND YOU'RE SO GOOD. ‫- HEY HEY, SO SORRY.

‫THERE WAS THIS ‫CHEM-LAB THING.

‫DID I MISS ANYTHING?

‫( keyboard clacking )

‫( sighs )

‫( door opens )

‫- HEY. ‫- HEY.

‫I JUST DROVE BY ‫ONE OF YOUR BILLBOARDS ‫FOR JOHN.

‫- IT'S AMAZING. ‫- AMAZING ENOUGH ‫ TO GET YOUR VOTE?

‫AMAZING ENOUGH ‫TO GET ME TO ABSTAIN. ‫( chuckles )

‫HEY, DO YOU GUYS HAVE ‫ANY ASPIRIN OVER HERE? ‫WE JUST RAN OUT.

‫STILL FEELING SICK?

‫THE OTHER NIGHT WHEN YOU ‫CAME HOME IN THE CAB?

‫- YOU SAID YOU ‫ WEREN'T FEELING WELL. ‫- RIGHT. UM...

‫I THOUGHT IT WAS ‫FOOD POISONING, BUT I GUESS ‫IT'S LIKE A VIRAL THING.

‫- THANKS. ‫- SO WHEN DO DAPHNE AND I ‫ GET TO MEET YOUR NEW GUY?

‫ZANE? I DON'T KNOW. ‫HE WORKS A LOT OF NIGHTS.

‫WE COULD COME DOWN TO THE CLUB, ‫HAVE A LITTLE DINNER.

‫IT'S PRETTY LOUD IN THERE. ‫NOT REALLY THE BEST PLACE ‫TO MEET ANYBODY.

‫IT WASN'T THAT BAD WHEN ‫WE WENT WITH ANGELO.

‫- IS ZANE WORKING THIS WEEKEND? ‫- WHY DON'T I SEE IF HE CAN ‫ COME ON OVER FOR DINNER?

‫AND YOU CAN INVITE ‫YOUR NEW GUY.

‫SOUNDS GREAT. ‫I'LL ASK NOAH.

‫GREAT. ‫THANKS.

‫( door opens, closes )

‫COME IN AND THEN ‫WE GO BACK OUT.

‫AND WE COME IN. ‫YEAH, OKAY.

‫"THEN MOVE NOT WHILE ‫MY PRAYER'S EFFECT ‫I TAKE.

‫THUS FROM MY LIPS, ‫BY YOURS, MY SIN IS PURGED."

‫AND THEN WE KISS.

‫AND WE KISS AGAIN.

‫"SIN FROM THY LIPS."

‫YOU HAVE A STEP DOWN ‫RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

‫- OH. SORRY? ‫- YOU HAVE A STEP DOWN.

‫- YOU'RE GONNA BE ON A PLATFORM. ‫- OH, RIGHT. THANKS.

‫- OKAY. ‫- SO THE NURSE COMES IN

‫AND TELLS ME THAT MY MOM ‫IS LOOKING FOR ME.

‫- SO I GO OFF WITH HER. ‫- RIGHT, AND THEN

‫I FIND OUT THAT

‫YOUR MOM'S A CAPULET.

‫SO THEN I TURN ‫TO BENVOLIO,

‫"BLAH BLAH BLAH."

‫AND THEN YOU LEAVE.

‫HEY.

‫- YOU LEAVE. ‫- OH RIGHT.

‫SORRY. OKAY.

‫WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN?

‫HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT ‫GETTING A HEARING AID?

‫I HAVE ONE, BUT I--

‫I DON'T REALLY NEED IT.

‫- WELL, A LOT OF KIDS HERE-- ‫- I'M FINE.

‫CAN WE GET BACK TO THIS?

‫SURE.

‫OKAY.

‫AND TURN.

‫- COME BACK. ‫- ( laughs )

‫THEN WE GO OUT. ‫AND THEN WE COME BACK.

‫WOW, THAT'S A NICE GUITAR. ‫A FENDER, RIGHT?

‫- DO YOU PLAY? ‫- NO. ( laughs )

‫I, UH-- I WENT ‫THROUGH THIS PHASE ‫IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

‫WHERE I WANTED TO BE IN A BAND, ‫SO MY MOM GOT ME A GUITAR.

‫- A-- A FENDER? ‫- UH... GIBSON.

‫IT WAS A GIBSON, YEAH.

‫WAY TO BUY YOUR LOVE.

‫YEP, PRETTY MUCH.

‫IT'S IN THE GARAGE ‫ALONG WITH ALL MY OTHER PHASES.

‫SO WHAT KIND OF PHASE ‫ARE YOU IN RIGHT NOW?

‫I'M NOT SURE.

‫I'M NOT SURE, I'M...

‫I'M WAITING TO SEE ‫WHAT CATCHES MY INTEREST.

‫YOU KNOW, I--

‫I THOUGHT THAT, UM--

‫I THOUGHT AFTER THE WAY ‫THAT YOU LEFT MY HOUSE ‫THE OTHER DAY--

‫YEAH, SORRY. ‫THAT WAS-- THAT WAS WEIRD.

‫- YEAH. A LITTLE WEIRD. ‫- YEAH.

‫- THAT WAS REALLY BAD. ‫- SORRY, I WAS-- I WAS STILL...

‫PROCESSING THE WHOLE THING.

‫YOU KNOW.

‫IS YOUR MOM STILL MAD?

‫I DON'T KNOW. ‫PROBABLY.

‫I DON'T CARE. ‫( chuckles )

‫I DON'T CARE.

‫IN A FEW MONTHS ‫I WILL BE TOURING GREECE.

‫- GREECE? ‫- YEAH!

‫AND I CANNOT WAIT ‫TO GET OUT OF THIS TOWN

‫AND SEE THE BIRTHPLACE ‫OF DEMOCRACY.

‫- YEAH. ‫- THAT'S VERY EDUCATED OF YOU.

‫WELL.

‫AND I'M GONNA ‫TAKE A GUESS THAT

‫THE GREEK ISLANDS ‫DON'T REALLY SUCK ‫EITHER, YOU KNOW?

‫THE MEDITERRANEAN ‫AND THE WHITE SAND,

‫NUDE BEACHES.

‫YOU MIGHT JUST ‫HAVE TO COME JOIN ME.

‫WELL, I AM A BIG FAN ‫OF DEMOCRACY.

‫I HAVE A DATE SUGGESTION ‫THAT I THINK YOU'RE ‫GONNA LIKE.

‫- ( chuckles ) EXCELLENT. ‫- IT INVOLVES FOOD...

‫- WELL, I LIKE FOOD. ‫- ...AND ME...

‫- EVEN BETTER. ‫- ...AND AN EVENING

‫WITH A REAL LIVE ‫JAZZ MUSICIAN.

‫OKAY, THAT COULD BE COOL. ‫WHEN AND WHERE?

‫TONIGHT. ‫DINNER WITH MY BIO-MOM,

‫HER NEW BOYFRIEND-- ‫THE JAZZ MUSICIAN--

‫- AND DAPHNE. ‫- WOW.

‫DON'T FREAK OUT ‫OR ANYTHING.

‫I'M NOT PUTTING YOU ‫ON DISPLAY.

‫IT'S KIND OF THE REVERSE ‫ACTUALLY. I'M PUTTING ‫REGINA'S BOYFRIEND

‫- TO THE TEST. ‫- OKAY, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

‫NOTHING.

‫I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.

‫- ( knocks ) ‫ - ( Regina sighs )

‫I'M SORRY I'M LATE.

‫SALAD, AS YOU REQUESTED.

‫- TOOK ME NO TIME TO MAKE IT. ‫- MY KIND OF CHEF.

‫BAY, THIS IS ZANE; ‫ZANE, BAY.

‫- I CAN SEE THE RESEMBLANCE. ‫- YEAH.

‫- NICE TO MEET YOU. ‫- NICE TO MEET YOU.

‫OH... BOTTLE OF VINO.

‫NOT NECESSARY.

‫I'LL TAKE YOUR COAT

‫AND YOU CAN MEET ‫NOAH AND DAPHNE.

‫- THANK YOU. HEY, GUYS, ‫ HOW ARE YOU DOING? ‫- GOOD.

‫- ZANE. NICE TO MEET YOU. ‫- NOAH.

‫- HI, I'M DAPHNE. ‫ - DAPHNE, HOW YOU DOING? ‫ ZANE.

‫- Daphne: NICE TO MEET YOU. ‫ - Zane: NICE TO MEET YOU.

‫DROP THIS OFF WITH SEAN. ‫HE'S THE BIG TALL GUY ‫BACK THERE, OKAY?

‫- PATRICIA! ‫- WHEN YOU'RE DONE SIGNING ‫ THOSE FUNDRAISING LETTERS,

‫I HAVE A STACK YOU CAN SIGN ‫BACK AT MY OFFICE.

‫I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT, ‫AS LONG AS I GET TO KEEP ‫ALL THE MONEY.

‫- ( chuckles ) ‫- SO WHAT BRINGS YOU ‫ TO ENEMY TERRITORY?

‫IT'S ACTUALLY ‫A PERSONAL MATTER.

‫I FOUND YOUR SON ‫WITH MY DAUGHTER

‫IN OUR HOT TUB ‫A FEW DAYS AGO.

‫TOBY? I DON'T THINK SO. ‫TOBY'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND.

‫( scoffs ) WELL, ‫THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT ‫THEY WERE TOGETHER.

‫- AND YOU'RE SURE IT WAS TOBY? ‫- OH YEAH.

‫ELISA COULDN'T WAIT ‫TO TELL ME WHO HE WAS.

‫- IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE HIM. ‫- NOBODY KNOWS BETTER THAN I DO

‫THE TOLL THESE CAMPAIGNS ‫CAN TAKE ON A FAMILY. ‫JUST ASK MY EX-HUSBAND.

‫- MMM. ‫- MAYBE THIS WAS OUR KIDS' WAY ‫ OF GETTING OUR ATTENTION.

‫MM-HMM. ‫WELL, PARENTING ALMOST MAKES ‫THE CAMPAIGN LOOK EASY, HUH?

‫OF COURSE ONCE I WIN, ‫YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME

‫TO WORK ON YOUR FATHER-SON ‫RELATIONSHIP.

‫( laughs ) ‫SEE YOU AROUND.

‫SO WAIT-- ‫HE'S A DEAF DRUMMER?

‫I NEED TO JAM WITH THIS GUY. ‫WHAT'S HIS NAME AGAIN?

‫- Ladies: EMMETT. ‫- YOU KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO?

‫IN AUGUST ‫THERE'S THIS JAZZ FESTIVAL ‫CALLED "LISTEN WITH YOUR EYES."

‫- "LISTEN WITH YOUR EYES"? ‫- YEAH, BECAUSE WITH JAZZ

‫YOU DON'T JUST ‫LISTEN WITH YOUR EARS. ‫YOU LISTEN WITH YOUR BODY.

‫- YOU-YOU-- YOU SEE THE MUSIC. ‫- I LOVE THAT.

‫- IT'S COOL, RIGHT? ‫- SO WHAT'S THE BIGGEST ‫ CHANGE YOU'VE NOTICED

‫ABOUT REGINA? ‫YOU KNOW, SINCE YOU GUYS

‫HAVE MET UP AGAIN ‫AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?

‫"ALL THESE YEARS"? ‫YOU MAKE IT SOUND ‫LIKE A LIFETIME.

‫NO, IT KIND OF WAS. ‫WE WERE BOTH MARRIED, ‫HAD KIDS.

‫I GUESS WHAT ‫SURPRISED ME THE MOST

‫WAS HOW LITTLE ‫SHE CHANGED.

‫- Regina: AW. ‫- NICE ONE.

‫- ( laughs ) ‫- REALLY?

‫SHE HASN'T CHANGED?

‫WELL, OTHER THAN ‫BEING OLDER AND WISER ‫AND A LOT MORE SENSIBLE.

‫AT FIRST IT WAS KINDA ‫LIKE DATING CINDERELLA--

‫SHE WAS ALWAYS SLIPPING OUT ‫OF THE CLUB, TRYING TO GET ‫HOME BY MIDNIGHT.

‫"AT FIRST"? ‫WHAT ABOUT NOW?

‫CAN YOU HELP ME ‫WITH DESSERT PLEASE?

‫( exhales sharply )

‫DINNER WAS GREAT. ‫THANK YOU.

‫DR. WHO? ‫WHO'S DR. WHO?

‫IT'S A TV SHOW. ‫DAPHNE LOVES IT.

‫IT'S ABOUT THIS GUY, RIGHT? ‫HE'S CALLED THE DOCTOR

‫AND HE'S THIS TIME LORD.

‫I'M SORRY-- WHERE ARE YOU FROM? ‫'CAUSE I KEEP HEARING ‫A LITTLE ACCENT.

‫- SORRY? WHAT WAS THAT? ‫- THERE IT IS AGAIN.

‫- HE DOESN'T HAVE AN ACCENT. ‫- HE'S ASKING WHERE YOU'RE FROM.

‫- Noah: OH. ‫- HIS MOM IS FROM CANADA.

‫- REALLY? ‫- WHICH EXPLAINS,

‫BUT DOES NOT EXCUSE, ‫YOUR HORRIBLE TASTE ‫IN BASKETBALL TEAMS.

‫COME ON. THE RAPTORS ‫ARE REBUILDING, OKAY?

‫THAT'S JUST A EUPHEMISM ‫FOR "THEY'RE GONNA SUCK AGAIN."

‫- PFFT! ‫- NOT TO GET ALL TECHNICAL,

‫BUT WOULDN'T THE RAPTORS

‫- BITE, NOT SUCK? ‫- SHE MAKES A GOOD POINT.

‫- ( laughter ) ‫- OH DAMN, I'VE GOT TO GET ‫ BACK TO THE CLUB.

‫WAIT, I THOUGHT YOU ‫WEREN'T PLAYING TONIGHT.

‫NO, MITCH WANTED ME ‫TO SIT IN AT THE LAST MINUTE.

‫HEY, YOU SHOULD ‫COME WITH ME.

‫UMMM...

‫WELL, I MEAN, ‫MAYBE JUST ONE SET.

‫YOU KNOW WHAT? ‫YOU GUYS JUST LEAVE THE PLATES.

‫- I'LL CLEAN IT UP ‫ WHEN I GET HOME. ‫- WHY DON'T WE ALL GO?

‫IT WOULD BE COOL ‫TO SEE YOU PLAY.

‫HUH-UH. ‫SCHOOL NIGHT.

‫GIVE ME A SEC. ‫I'LL GET MY JACKET.

‫- OKAY. ‫- ( chuckles )

‫SINCE YOU'RE HERE, ‫DO YOU MIND GOING OVER ‫THE NIGHTINGALE SCENE?

‫KATHRYN WANTS ME ‫OFF BOOK BY TOMORROW.

‫YEAH YEAH YEAH, SURE. UMM...

‫- IS THAT COOL? ‫- SURE. HAPPY REHEARSING.

‫- IT WAS NICE TO MEET YOU. ‫- VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.

‫- YOU'RE THE MAN, ZANE. ‫- ALL RIGHT, TAKE CARE, MAN.

‫LOOK, TELL YOU WHAT-- ‫I WILL GET YOU INTO ‫NEXT WEEKEND'S GIG

‫IF YOU PROMISE TO SHOW ME

‫SOME OF YOUR ARTWORK.

‫UH, SURE. ‫MY STUDIO'S DOWNSTAIRS,

‫SO STOP BY ANY TIME.

‫YOU SHOULD PROBABLY ‫TAKE THAT WITH YOU.

‫OH NO, IT'S OKAY, ‫I'LL JUST LEAVE IT HERE. ‫IT'S YOUR MOM'S FAVORITE.

‫I'M ALL SET.

‫( sighs ) BYE.

‫- NICE TO MEET YOU. ‫- HAVE FUN.

‫BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ‫HOW TO.

‫I MEAN, SHE'S MY MOM,

‫BUT SHE'S NOT MY MOM. ‫( exhales sharply )

‫AND MAYBE THERE'S PART OF ME

‫THAT DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW.

‫I MEAN, WHAT IF ‫SHE IS DRINKING AGAIN

‫AND MY PARENTS FIND OUT? ‫I DON'T KNOW WHAT ‫THEY'RE GONNA DO.

‫I MEAN, WHAT IF THEY TRY ‫TO GET CUSTODY OF DAPHNE,

‫OR THEY TELL ME THAT ‫I CAN'T SEE HER ANYMORE?

‫YEAH, MAYBE.

‫Kathryn: AH.

‫HEY. ‫WHAT'S GOING ON?

‫"WE'RE LEAVING SOON. ‫WE JUST NEEDED A PLACE ‫TO WORK."

‫WELL, WHAT ARE ‫THE SIGNS FOR?

‫"WE HAVE A MEETING ‫WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD ‫THIS AFTERNOON.

‫A LOT OF THE KIDS ‫ARE COMING WITH ME.

‫SO MAYBE YOU NEED TO..."

‫SO...

‫ARE YOU SAYING ‫"CANCEL REHEARSAL"?!

‫I THINK WE'RE BUILDING ‫SOMETHING REALLY GREAT HERE.

‫HEARING AND DEAF KIDS ‫WORKING TOGETHER?

‫I DON'T UNDERSTAND

‫WHY YOU DON'T THINK ‫WE CAN COEXIST.

‫YOU'RE ABOUT ‫TO EXPLAIN IT ‫TO THE SCHOOL BOARD.

‫"THIS IS A DEAF SCHOOL.

‫WHERE WE CAN BE SEEN.

‫BUT THE WORLD

‫DOESN'T RECOGNIZE US."

‫THAT'S NOT TRUE ‫OF ALL HEARING PEOPLE.

‫I RECOGNIZE YOU.

‫"THAT'S NICE."

‫BUT I'M HERE ‫BECAUSE I'M A PARENT.

‫ACTUALLY, I'M HERE

‫BECAUSE YOU CAN'T AFFORD

‫A DRAMA TEACHER.

‫AND THE HEARING PROGRAM ‫CAN HELP YOU

‫BY BRINGING IN ‫MORE MONEY.

‫WHAT'S SO BAD ‫ABOUT MORE MONEY ‫FOR THE SCHOOL?

‫"AT A HEARING SCHOOL, ‫DEAF STUDENTS WILL ALWAYS ‫BE ON THE OUTSIDE.

‫THEY ENTER ‫ THE CAFETERIA FOR LUNCH,

‫THEY'LL LOOK AROUND,

‫SEE... 20 DIFFERENT ‫ CONVERSATIONS,

‫NONE OF WHICH ‫ THEY CAN BE A PART OF.

‫BUT HERE THEY'RE FREE,

‫NOT TO BE 'THE DEAF KID,'

‫BUT TO BE THEMSELVES.

‫THAT'S WHAT ‫ I'M FIGHTING FOR.

‫AND IF YOU CAN'T SEE

‫WHY THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT ‫ THAN YOUR PLAY

‫OR ANYTHING ELSE,

‫THEN I DON'T KNOW ‫WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU.

‫THE BUS IS HERE."

‫THANK YOU.

‫( door opens )

‫OKAY, EVERYBODY,

‫LET'S START WITH...

‫SCENE FOUR, ACT TWO.

‫I CAN'T.

‫I HAVE TO BE THERE.

‫- I'M SORRY. ‫- DA...

‫( sighs )

‫SO YOU COULDN'T ‫HAVE USED OUR HOT TUB?

‫THERE WASN'T A GIRL ‫IN OUR HOT TUB.

‫I DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WAS ‫PATRICIA SAWYER'S HOUSE.

‫OR PATRICIA SAWYER'S ‫DAUGHTER,

‫BUT OBVIOUSLY ‫SHE KNEW WHO YOU WERE.

‫DAD, IT WAS ‫TWO PEOPLE IN A JACUZZI,

‫- NOT A CONSPIRACY. ‫- MM-HMM.

‫- WHAT ABOUT NIKKI? ‫- SHE BROKE UP WITH ME...

‫ON VALENTINE'S DAY.

‫I-- I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. ‫I'M SORRY.

‫LOOK, TOBY, I GET HOW

‫HAVING AN ATTRACTIVE GIRL ‫PAY ATTENTION TO YOU ‫COULD HELP YOU GET--

‫THAT IS NOT ‫WHY I DID IT!

‫( sighs )

‫I DON'T KNOW ELISA. ‫I'M SURE SHE'S ‫A NICE KID.

‫BUT I QUESTION ‫HER JUDGMENT.

‫WELL, SHE DID VOLUNTEER ‫TO HELP OUT YOUR CAMPAIGN.

‫MAYBE SHE LIKES ME ‫BECAUSE I'M ME,

‫- NOT BECAUSE I'M YOUR SON. ‫- THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.

‫SO THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO ‫WITH YOUR CAMPAIGN?

‫- YOU'RE JUST ‫ WORRIED ABOUT ME? ‫- HEY.

‫YOU JUST MAKE SURE ‫WHATEVER YOU DO,

‫YOU DO IT ‫FOR THE RIGHT REASONS

‫- AND WITH THE RIGHT PERSON. ‫- GOT IT.

‫( Zane laughing ) ‫ IT WAS SO FUNNY.

‫- IT WAS CRAZY. ‫ - ( men laugh )

‫HEY!

‫SO YOU LOOKING ‫FOR SOME INSPIRATION

‫OR YOU HERE TO LEARN ‫ABOUT SOME JAZZ?

‫UH... NO. I ACTUALLY ‫WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ‫ABOUT REGINA.

‫IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

‫WHEN YOU GUYS ‫ARE TOGETHER, DO YOU--

‫WELL, HAS SHE...

‫EVER HAD A DRINK?

‫YOU MEAN LIKE A GLASS ‫OF WINE OR SOMETHING?

‫- YEAH. ‫- YEAH, WHY?

‫REGINA'S ‫AN ALCOHOLIC.

‫AND SHE DIDN'T ‫TELL YOU.

‫NO.

‫( sighs )

‫NO.

‫DO YOU NEED A RIDE HOME ‫OR SOMETHING?

‫NO, IT'S OKAY.

‫UH, THANKS.

‫"YOU SAY THAT ‫THE DEAF STUDENTS ‫WILL JUST 'ADJUST,'

‫BUT WHAT YOU MEAN ‫ IS THEY'LL JUST

‫GET USED TO ‫ SECOND-CLASS STATUS."

‫WE REALIZE THAT THIS IS ‫NOT AN IDEAL SITUATION.

‫"YOU ARE COMPROMISING ‫THE QUALITY OF THEIR ‫EDUCATION."

‫HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER ‫ACTUALLY BEEN TO CARLTON?

‫WE'VE BEEN ‫TO EVERY DISTRICT SCHOOL,

‫AND I'M SORRY BUT WE'RE NOT ‫OPENING THE FLOOR TO ANYONE ‫WHO'S NOT ON OUR AGENDA.

‫YOU'RE MAKING A DECISION ‫THAT AFFECTS OVER 100 ‫DEAF STUDENTS,

‫AND YOU DON'T HAVE TIME ‫TO LISTEN TO ONE OF THEM?

‫STEP FORWARD.

‫CARLTON IS THE ONE PLACE ‫IN THE WORLD

‫WHERE HAVING EARS ‫THAT DON'T WORK ‫DOESN'T MATTER.

‫IT'S NOT JUST ‫A SCHOOL TO US,

‫IT'S OUR HOME.

‫AND BY LETTING MORE ‫HEARING KIDS IN,

‫YOU'RE SAYING IT'S OKAY ‫TO INVADE OUR HOME.

‫BUT IT'S NOT.

‫( cheering )

‫OKAY.

‫HONEY, ‫IN A PERFECT WORLD,

‫WE'D HAVE MONEY ‫FOR DEAF SCHOOLS ‫AND ORGANIC LUNCHES

‫AND STATE-OF-THE-ART ‫ COMPUTER LABS ‫ IN ALL OUR SCHOOLS.

‫BUT WE DON'T.

‫WE'RE STRETCHED ‫INCREDIBLY THIN THESE DAYS.

‫YOU FOUND MONEY TO HIRE ‫THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACH ‫AT JEFFERSON...

‫- ( cheers ) ‫- ...AND RESURFACE ‫ THE TRACK AT TAFT.

‫I GUESS IT JUST COMES DOWN ‫TO HOW YOU PRIORITIZE.

‫( cheering )

‫( cheering fades )

‫( door opens, closes )

‫HELLO.

‫- YOU'RE BACK. ‫- I TEXTED YOU.

‫I SAW. ‫AFTER REHEARSAL.

‫( sighs )

‫I KNOW THAT YOU ‫DON'T UNDERSTAND--

‫NO, I DON'T.

‫I'LL BE AT REHEARSAL ‫TOMORROW.

‫GREAT.

‫AT LEAST YOUR DAD ‫DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT ‫YOU COULDN'T SEE ME.

‫MY MOM GROUNDED ME... ‫ALLEGEDLY.

‫( chuckles ) ‫WE SEE HOW WELL ‫THAT'S WORKING OUT.

‫( chuckles )

‫- HEY, HOW MUCH WAS ALL THIS? ‫- NO, PLEASE, DON'T WORRY ‫ ABOUT IT.

‫- NO, COME ON, PLEASE. ‫- I PUT IT ON MY MOM'S CARD. ‫ IT'S FINE, STOP.

‫IT'S ON THE HOUSE--

‫PATRICIA SAWYER'S HOUSE ‫THAT IS.

‫( chuckles )

‫ARE YOU SAVING UP ‫FOR ALL YOUR TRAVELS ‫AND STUFF OR--

‫IF BY "SAVING UP" ‫YOU MEAN "THE OCCASIONAL ‫A.T.M. WITHDRAWAL

‫BECAUSE MY MOM ‫HASN'T CHANGED HER PIN ‫SINCE 2004," THEN YES.

‫YES. WHAT? ‫DON'T-- COME ON.

‫DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK. ‫I'VE SEEN YOUR HOUSE.

‫DON'T PRETEND ‫LIKE YOU DON'T ALSO ‫DIP INTO THE WELL,

‫- IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. ‫- WELL, I MEAN, I'VE...

‫DEFINITELY ‫DONE MY FAIR SHARE ‫OF STUPID STUFF,

‫BUT, YOU KNOW,

‫I'VE NEVER TAKEN FROM THEM.

‫IT'S JUST COMPENSATION

‫FOR EMOTIONAL ABUSE.

‫I'M SORRY I MISSED ‫REHEARSAL YESTERDAY.

‫YEAH, I HEARD ABOUT ‫THE MEETING.

‫IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

‫I DON'T KNOW. ‫THE SCHOOL BOARD'S ‫VOTING TODAY

‫FOR WHAT HAPPENS ‫NEXT YEAR.

‫HMM, WHETHER I STAY ‫OR GO.

‫IT'S OKAY. ‫I GET IT, YOU KNOW.

‫YOU DON'T WANT ‫THE REPLICANTS TAKING OVER.

‫- ( both chuckle ) ‫- HEY, CHECK ME OUT.

‫- WHAT? ‫- LOOK.

‫MMM, DID YOU GET ‫A NEW HAIRCUT?

‫ARE YOU TRYING ‫TO GROW SIDEBURNS?

‫NEW BACKPACK?

‫( jazz music playing )

‫- HEY. ‫- HEY.

‫CHARDONNAY PLEASE. ‫OH. ( chuckles )

‫I FEEL LIKE MY EYES ‫ARE GONNA POP OUT.

‫I SPENT ALL AFTERNOON ONLINE, ‫LOOKING AT WANT ADS

‫AND FILLING OUT ‫JOB APPLICATIONS.

‫( sighs ) ‫THANKS.

‫I WAS THINKING THAT ‫MAYBE I SHOULD--

‫ARE YOU SURE ‫YOU WANT THAT?

‫WHY?

‫LOOK, BAY CAME BY ‫THIS AFTERNOON,

‫AND SHE SAID,

‫YOU KNOW, ‫YOU AND ALCOHOL--

‫YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED ‫TO BE DRINKING.

‫LOOK, REGINA, ‫I AM NOT JUDGING YOU.

‫I LOVE HANGING OUT ‫WITH YOU,

‫BUT I DON'T WANT ‫TO MESS THINGS UP ‫AND BE A BAD INFLUENCE.

‫YOU-- YOU ARE NOT ‫MESSING ANYTHING UP.

‫TH-THIS IS JUST ‫A MISUNDERSTANDING.

‫I'LL CALL YOU LATER. ‫( chuckles )

‫- REGGIE-- ‫- I'M GOOD.

‫WHAT THE HELL DID YOU ‫THINK YOU WERE DOING?

‫- SNEAKING INTO THE JAZZ CLUB... ‫- I WASN'T SNEAKING.

‫...TALKING TO ‫ZANE BEHIND MY BACK? ‫TELLING HIM I'M A DRUNK?

‫- I DIDN'T TELL HIM THAT. ‫- WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO ME?

‫- BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE SO-- ‫- SO YOU DECIDED TO RUIN

‫THE ONE BRIGHT SPOT ‫IN MY OTHERWISE CRAPPY ‫LIFE RIGHT NOW?

‫- I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP. ‫- HELP?

‫WHO THE HELL ‫DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? ‫YOU DON'T KNOW ME.

‫- I'M SORRY, REGINA-- ‫- WHO ELSE DID YOU TELL?

‫- DAPHNE? ‫ YOUR PARENTS? ‫- NO.

‫- DID YOU CALL MY MOM ‫ IN PUERTO RICO? ‫- NO.

‫STAY OUT ‫OF MY BUSINESS, OKAY?

‫YOU STAY OUT OF IT.

‫( door slams )

‫( clatters )

‫( sighs )

‫YOU MADE IT.

‫SORRY I'M LATE.

‫WE WERE WAITING TO HEAR ‫THE SCHOOL BOARD'S VOTE.

‫DAPHNE, I KNOW ‫YOU'RE UPSET,

‫BUT I REALLY DON'T ‫THINK THAT

‫ADDING MORE HEARING KIDS ‫TO THE SCHOOL

‫IS GONNA BE SO HORRIBLE.

‫REALLY.

‫THEY'RE NOT EXPANDING ‫THE HEARING PROGRAM.

‫- THEY'RE NOT? ‫- NO.

‫THEY'RE CLOSING CARLTON.

‫WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‫THEY'RE CLOSING IT?

‫THE SCHOOL BOARD VOTED

‫TO SELL THE PROPERTY ‫AND SHUT DOWN CARLTON ‫FOR GOOD.

‫THEY'RE GOING ‫TO SEPARATE US

‫- AND SEND US TO DIFFERENT ‫ SCHOOLS NEXT YEAR. ‫- OH NO.

‫I'M SO SORRY, HONEY.

‫( crying )

‫I'M SORRY.

‫( sighs )

‫- ( knocks ) ‫ - GO AWAY.

‫( door opens )

‫- BAY? ‫- I SAID GO AWAY.

‫YOU TOLD ME TO STAY ‫OUT OF YOUR LIFE.

‫WHY DON'T YOU TRY ‫STAYING OUT OF MINE?

‫BAY, I AM SO SORRY.

‫AND I AM SO TOUCHED

‫THAT YOU WANTED ‫TO HELP ME.

‫WELL, YOU SHOULD ‫HAVE A SIT DOWN WITH ‫AN-HOUR-AGO-REGINA,

‫BECAUSE SHE SEEMED ‫PRETTY PISSED.

‫( sighs )

‫I WAS BUSY SEEING MYSELF ‫AS A VICTIM,

‫SO I WOULD HAVE ‫AN EXCUSE...

‫TO KEEP DRINKING.

‫SO YOU ARE ‫DRINKING AGAIN?

‫YES.

‫AND IT'S EMBARRASSING ‫AND HUMILIATING

‫- AND I TOOK IT ALL OUT ON YOU. ‫- WHY?

‫I'M ON YOUR SIDE.

‫EVER SINCE WE MOVED IN,

‫I HAVE HAD TO DEPEND ‫ON OTHER PEOPLE.

‫YOUR MOM GOT ME ‫THE JOB AT GERALDO'S,

‫ANGELO WAS GOING ‫TO FINANCE THE SALON

‫AND NOW WHEN ‫I TALK TO DAPHNE

‫I FEEL LIKE I NEED ‫AN INTERPRETER.

‫AND DRINKING MAKES THAT ‫ALL A LITTLE EASIER.

‫AT LEAST ‫FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

‫AND THEN YOU SOBER UP,

‫AND YOU HATE YOURSELF ‫FOR DOING IT,

‫SO YOU WANT ‫TO FEEL OKAY AGAIN.

‫- SO... ‫- YOU DRINK AGAIN.

‫PRETTY MUCH.

‫SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

‫I GET MYSELF TO THE NEXT ‫MEETING I CAN FIND.

‫AND I CALL MY SPONSOR ‫AND I START WORKING ‫THE PROGRAM AGAIN,

‫ONE DAY AT A TIME.

‫WELL, IS THERE ANYTHING ‫I CAN DO TO HELP YOU?

‫TRY TO FORGIVE ME?

‫I CAN DO THAT.

‫THANK YOU.

‫IS, UH... ‫( sighs )

‫THERE ANY WAY THAT WE COULD ‫KEEP THIS BETWEEN US?

‫I DON'T WANT TO WORRY DAPHNE, ‫AND IF JOHN AND KATHRYN ‫FOUND OUT--

‫I WON'T SAY ANYTHING.

‫( exhales ) ‫THANK YOU.

‫THIS IS DONE, BAY.

‫YOU HAVE MY WORD.

‫- ♪ PULL ME BACK... ♪ ‫ - ( sniffles )

‫♪ PULL ME BACK ♪

‫( engine stops )

‫♪ PULL ME BACK... ♪

‫I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK ‫YOU WEREN'T GONNA COME.

‫I ALMOST DIDN'T.

‫I'M NOT SURE THAT ‫THIS IS A GOOD IDEA. ‫( chuckles )

‫I AM.

‫I MEANT WHAT I SAID ‫ON VALENTINE'S DAY.

‫WE'RE JUST ‫TOO DIFFERENT.

‫THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T ‫TEXT YOU BACK.

‫I MEANT WHAT I SAID ‫ON VALENTINE'S DAY, TOO.

‫I'VE NEVER TOLD ANYBODY

‫"I LOVE YOU" BEFORE.

‫YOU MAKE ME WANT TO BE ‫A BETTER PERSON,

‫- SOMEONE THAT YOU DESERVE ‫ TO BE WITH. ‫- TOBY--

‫AND YOU WERE ‫THE ONE WHO SAID

‫THAT HAVING FAITH ‫ISN'T EASY.

‫IT'S BELIEVING ‫IN SOMETHING

‫EVEN WHEN REASON ‫TELLS YOU NOT TO, RIGHT?

‫RIGHT.

‫WELL, I HAVE FAITH IN US.

‫AND, I THINK ‫YOU SHOULD TOO.
