Whatever.

Come walk with me.

I don't want to.

What do you want?

I want to go

to meet my friends.

They're grownups,
they'll be fine.

How is Grace a grownup

Grace is four years older
than you.

I don't know why you want
to be friends anyway.

SOPHIE:
Don't go.

VALERIE:
Where would I go?

(Sighs)

Why did daddy make us move
back here?

He barely gave Toronto a chance.

There were things he needed
to leave behind.

That's why he said
he left Chechnya.

He's always running.

My father ran, too.

(Sighs)

Dragged me kicking and screaming
from...

(Speaking in French)

That's different.

After what happened to your mum
and then your sister passed.

She was taken.

SOPHIE: No wonder he
got you out of there.

I was never in any danger.

But you must have been
so sad about them.

(Sighs)

Hmm.

It was a long time ago.

They're fine now.

They're dead, mum.

But...

(Kisses)

They're together.

Hey, Sophie!

(Sophie chuckles)

Oh my God,
you've lost some weight!

SOPHIE:
I'm a dancer, duh.

So how's everyone in Toronto?

- They've forgotten me yet?
- Yeah.

Actually, no,
they were like,

"Hey, we're going
to England soon..."

- Stop it.
- KAI: "To see Sophie."

And everybody's like,

- "Who the crap is Sophie?"
- GRACE: No!

Well, I know somebody

- who didn't forget about you.
- Who?

KAI: Gracey kinda made
us bring you a surprise.

I think you're gonna like it.

- Come on.

(Taking deep breaths)

This is
a really cool opportunity,

because we've
never toured Europe before.

Except it's not actually a tour
if we're only in Upton.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you bitching
about this rad place

that Sophie found us for free?

SOPHIE:
Not really free.

You have to take care of it,
you guys.

That's the whole point
of house-sits.

- Of course.
- Of course,

we'll take care of it.

What could possibly go wrong?

Really, Kai?

(Chuckles)

So Bones, when are
you gonna show us your hood?

It's my dad's hood, not mine.

I don't really go out.

I hate it here.

Really?

SOPHIE: I don't know why
we had to move back here.

Maybe he's,
like, in witness protection.

Don't they send people like that
to places like this?

KAI: No, man, I bet his
restaurant was just in trouble.

It was fine.

Maybe he was running away
from us.

Maybe your hair scared him.

You know what you should do?

You should film your life
in England.

Like anyone cares.

Okay, you have to stop it
with that shit.

Seriously, look at me.

You're an awesome woman
and we miss you.

We wanna see how you live.

KAI:
Seriously, come on, girl.

LIAM: You should be in
our Euro Tour video.

- Yes.
- Mmhmm.

I have to get to school.

KAI: Aim higher,
you're gonna cut her off at the eyeballs.

I'm not a retard.

I'm gonna go with you, right.

LIAM: You're the one who
failed grade 12, so...

KAI:
Oh, shut up.

(Screeching)

(Whooshing)

SOPHIE:
This is my dad's café.

I'm a waitress here.

My dad doesn't let anyone cook
but him.

If you even try
and boil water in the kitchen,

he'll go all Gordon Ramsay
on you.

(Doorbell tinkles)

(Door shuts
and doorbell tinkles)

- SOPHIE: Smile.
- What's this?

SOPHIE:
It's for my friends.

Take it away.

(Sighs)
There's nobody here.

Why can't I just go to Grace's?

Why don't you ask Grace
to come here?

Why do I even ask?

(Traffic whooshing)

(Doorbell tinkles)

Straight home.

No stopping at Grace's.

Why would I?

I'm sure
they're out having fun by now.

Hey, you forgot your snack.

I'm not hungry.

- It's your favorite.
- I'm not hungry!

(Sighing)

(Doorbell tinkles)

(Water flowing)

Do you remember this?
That's the formula.

That's it.

KAI:
We got the gig.

(Gasps)
We got the gig!

- Yeah, we did.
- We got it!

Good job, that's awesome.

LIAM:
We are playing for beers though.

That's cool.

KAI:
Yeah, no, it's not bad.

Beers are good.

LIAM:
You can be our roadie.

Um, yeah, after about
five pieces of pizza.

KAI: You guys, we got the
gig, 'cause Gracey kicks ass.

And I told them you'd be wearing
shiny gold hot pants.

Oh, don't make me kill you,
pretty boy,

'cause it won't be pretty.

You mean my utter domination
of "you won't be pretty", right?

Okay, yeah, that's just...

So who wants to go
into the woods,

because they're so, like,
English and pretty?

I'm not allowed.

Come on!

Sophie,
just don't tell your parents.

It's kind of like lying.

Live dangerously.

Come on.

We need you.

We do.

Oh, but my Sophie.

No, no, oh!

Does he put his head underwater

Yeah, I think so.

He just goes to the sink
