All American (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - California Love - full transcript

At an explosive homecoming dance, friendships are put to the test when decisions made by Spencer drastically changes the course of several lives.

Previously on "All American"...

What's it gonna take for
you to finally let him go?

'Cause whatever's coming for him

is coming for you, too,

and it's just a matter of time before

they show up on my house,

putting my family in danger,

and that can't happen.

I'll be gone tonight.

You been running things around
here since we was kids.

Gotta be something else
out here you can do.



Got the big dog's card.

Said he might have a job for you.

I'm Chris, by the way.

Olivia.

When you lie and I know about it,

it makes me complicit in the lie

and it's embarrassing to watch.

Sorry that my life embarrasses you.

That's not what I said.

You can do what you want.

I slept with Asher.

That piece...

No, Jordan.

Promise me that you won't say anything.



Leila doesn't know and
if she ever found out...

Please promise me.

Spencer went home already.

OK, so go get him.

Olivia, I see the way you look at him.

Yeah, kind of like the
way he looks at you?

I'm really happy I have you, Spencer.

I'm happy I have you, too.

Come on.

MAN: ♪ Let's get something started ♪

♪ Started in here ♪

LEILA ON P.A.: Morning, Eagles.

This is Leila Keating,
your Stu co president.

It's officially homecoming weekend,

our favorite time of year,

not just because it kicks off
with an awesome dance tomorrow.

B.T. dubs, buy your tickets
now if you haven't already.

MAN: ♪ ...Let's get something started ♪

LEILA: And ends with
our big football game,

where we're happily gonna
kick Malibu's butt.

MAN: ♪ Let's get something started ♪

LEILA: But mostly because it's the time

when we come together to celebrate

every student's commitment
to the Beverly family.

Do you want some?

No, I'm good, thank you.

I'm an athlete, you know.

Can't have that stuff in my system.

Right. Heh.

Oh, jeez. We gotta go.

Do you know what time it is?

Wait.

So what if we're late?

LEILA: So I hope to see you
all at the festivities.

And remember, go, Eagles!

MAN: ♪ ...Ooh ooh ooh ♪

♪ ooh ooh ooh ooh ♪

COACH BAKER: All right, all
right, listen up, listen up.

Now, I know I've been riding
y'all hard this past week.

I'm proud of you all stepping up.

Malibu's been talking a lot of smack.

But if you play like this,

they ain't gonna know what hit them.

[PLAYERS TALKING AT ONCE]

Y'all get out of here.

Have fun at the dance tomorrow night.

Oh, wait, one more thing.

Keep it classy.

No drinking. No staying up all night.

I need everyone firing
on all cylinders.

We got a big game this weekend.

- Y'all heard?
- ALL: Yes, sir.

All right. Have fun tomorrow.

[ALL CHEERING]

[LAUGHTER]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Oh, my bad. I didn't mean to scare you.

No, it's all good. I was distracted.

So you planning on avoiding me

till we graduate?

I'm not avoiding you.

I've just been crazy busy

with the homecoming dance and school

and student council stuff and...

Fine. Yes, maybe a little avoiding.

It's OK. I get it.

Look, I'm just gonna come right out

and say it.

I like you.

In case that wasn't obvious.

And based on that kiss, I'm guessing

you don't find me
completely intolerable.

It's a little more complicated than

us just liking each other.

I know. Asher's my teammate.

Yeah, and my boyfriend.

Right, but, here's the thing.

I don't do the whole
sneaking around thing.

So I guess I'm just
trying to figure out

what happens next, for all of us.

But whatever that is, I know I don't

want to lose your
friendship, all right?

That's important to me.

I can't talk about this right now.

OK, OK, so when?

I don't know.

How about tonight?

10 P.M. after my shift.

The vista at Hermosa Park.
Just to talk.

I don't think that...

Look, I'm getting real good at that

whole not taking no for an answer thing

y'all do here in Beverly Hills.

Tonight.

WOMEN: ♪ I got a feeling things
is turning up for me now ♪

♪ Stacks of the spending money
taller than a tree now ♪

♪ Man, I've been waiting on
winning, victory with a smile ♪

♪ I see the double-digit coming,
it's gonna take a while ♪

♪ Oh, this time I want it all ♪

[DOOR OPENS]

Yo. Where you been?

[DOOR CLOSES]

Dude, that ain't for you.

It is now.

Maya's napping.

So?

I've been at school, where
you should've been.

Graduating school ain't really in

my cards right now.

What happened to turning
your life around, man,

and getting out the game?

It ain't gonna be that easy.

Ain't nobody say it'd be easy.

That don't mean we give up, though.

You probably ain't even
called J.P.'s homeboy

over at the record label about the
possible internship, did you?

And you ain't called Spencer

since you moved out of his house.

Well, I'll call Spencer

when you call the boy
from the record label.

[EXHALES] Well, you
better get to dialing.

I already called.

Got an interview tomorrow.

[LAUGHS]

Why didn't you say nothing?

[PHONE BUZZING]

We've been summoned.

Summoned by who?

SINGERS: ♪ On the start
of a breaking new day ♪

Spencer, dude, take a break, man.

You've been working since we got here.

I can't, man. We extra busy today.

Hmm.

You got one pepperoni.

GIRL: "You have a pizza
my heart, Gabby.

Be my date to hoco?" Eee!

What, too corny for you?

No. no, y'all just take
this homecoming thing

real seriously, that's all.

It's just a dance.

What, you don't have
dances in Crenshaw?

No, we do. It's just not that deep.

So who are you taking to homecoming?

Nobody, man. I'm rolling solo.

Aww. Too many, options, huh?

Don't want to break any hearts?

Yeah, something like that.

I gotta get back.

All right. Peace.

You know, I can respect going solo.

Yeah?

It's better than rolling with a rival.

Hmm. Here we go again.

Listen, Ripley's just a girl.

OK? I like her.

Who cares where she goes to school?

Hmm.

Traitor.

You going in?

I really wish people

would stop sneaking up on me today.

That's not really sneaking if I

call your name 3 times.

I was just leaving.

Uh, Leila...

I swung by here after China's concert.

I saw you and Spencer.

Olivia, I'm...

I'm so, so sorry.

It's fine. Really. Really. Look, I...

I liked him...

But he likes you.

I'd say one of us deserves
to get the happy ending

except you don't look so happy.

I feel like I should
tell Asher the truth.

But I also know when that happens,

everything goes to hell.

What should I do?

I'm... I'm not really the right person

to give anyone advice on anything,

especially this.

Olivia, please.

Um...

People keep a secret like that

for one of two reasons.

Either because the cheating

was a big mistake

and they just want to
protect the person

they love from being hurt...

Or?

Or they're just trying
to protect themselves.

You have to decide which
one's true for you

and what you plan to do about it.

Hey. Can we talk?

Yeah.

OK.

- That didn't look good.
- No, it did not.

I forgive you.

Wait, what?

Like you said, you know?

You were upset over your dad

a-and you got caught up.

I-i get it.

Things have been a little
rough for me lately,

with... with my dad a-and football.

I haven't been paying
enough attention to you.

Yeah, Asher, I just...

Hey.

I love you.

MAN: ♪ Maybe you weren't
the one for me ♪

♪ But deep down, I wanted you to be ♪

♪ I'll still see you in my dreams ♪

♪ All the things that I did for you ♪

♪ Just wasn't here for you ♪

♪ So I'll be coasting,
roller-coasting... ♪

SPENCER: Hey, Leila.

Look, I understand why you didn't come,

but I need you to know something.

You're the one person that
makes Beverly feel like home.

I can't explain it. It just is.

Look, you don't need to call me back.

I just had to let you know.

The whole neighborhood
coming to breakfast?

♪ It's homecoming weekend ♪

Man, you crazy.

They say you should load up for...

Energy or whatever.

OK.

Plus, I figure all this

will keep you put long enough

to tell me everything.

Like what?

Like maybe who

you're taking to the dance?

It's complicated.

Baby... if high school
isn't complicated,

you ain't doing it right.

[CHUCKLES] Look, it doesn't matter.

And I ain't going to
that dance tonight.

Since when?

Look, I came to Beverly
to play football.

All right? I should be
focused on tomorrow's game,

not... not some stupid dance.

Life is not just about
football, Spencer.

What's really going on?

You talked to Coop?

No.

Call her.

She's always been your go-to.

Just because Coop doesn't
live here anymore

doesn't mean she's not still family.

corner as a young 'un ♪

♪ Straight from the
block I been hustlin' ♪

♪ Had to learn the
game, it was nothin' ♪

♪ Lotta money, lotta
work, I was touchin' ♪

What's up, Shawn?

Nothin'. chillin'.

Nice to know you chillin'
while we out here

cleaning up your mess.

Ty, that's you, not Alvin.

Ain't nobody ask you to speak.

There's a lot of heat on us right now

'cause that mess you made at Alvin's.

My show's gotta lay low.

So now you gonna take over

and sell our dope on his block.

No problem.

Good. Swizz is bringing
in more product.

You pick it up tonight.

- Tonight?
- You hard of hearing or something?

Hey, I could go meet Swizz if you want.

Ain't nobody ask you nothing, sis.

It is sis, right?

Or is it brother?

[LAUGHTER]

Which one is it?

COOP: Supposed to be getting
out, not deeper in.

If Tyrone tells you to do something,

you do it, period.

Shawn.

I can make the interview downtown

and get back in time to meet Swizz.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Just answer the fool.

You know you want to.

Got this handled.

Hello.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I'm glad you called.

You good?

Me? I'm OK, I guess.

Where you been staying?

[SIGH] He who shall not be named

is letting me crash at his crib.

I mean, I figured if I
said the name "Shawn,"

your head would explode.

Come on, man. This is stupid.

I'm not mad at you for wanting

to keep your family safe.

Come on, Coop. You family.

All right? Don't ever think you not.

I know. So can we

park all that over there somewhere

and talk about what's got this vein

on the side of your big-ass head

about to pop out?

[LAUGHS]

Leila? Ain't that the girl

that date the dude Asher on your team?

Yeah, I know.

Hey, look, I know it ain't got

nothing to do with me, but don't

teammates got, like,

a bro code or something?

Look, I wasn't thinking about

all that when it happened, all right?

Oh, I know what you was thinking.

Man, shut up. Ugh.

I don't know, Coop.

I mean, maybe it's a good thing

she stood me up.

Why rock the boat with the
rest of the team, right?

I mean, 'cause some girls is just

worth rocking the boat for.

How much do you really like this girl?

A lot, man. She's special.

Then there's probably
a million reasons why

she didn't show up.

But the Spencer James
I know don't give up,

so it sound to me

like you need to go and get your girl.

I bet.

I'MMA gonna go to the dance.

But I'MMA need a date.

[LAUGHS]

Mama, please. Come on.

Would you just relax

and let me have my moment? Ha!

COOP: Hello.

I know you see me.

Yeah, I do see you.

Where's Coop?

I'm right here, baby. Fine.

LAURA: Coop, you guys ready?

The limos are waiting.

Yes, ma'am. I'll see you later.

SPENCER: Come on. Let's go.

You OK?

Yeah. I'm fine.

It just all goes by so fast.

- It really does.
- Ha!

I know you're gonna
have your hands full

chaperoning tonight,

but can you please take a
couple pictures of Spencer?

Of course.

The more embarrassing, the better.

Ha!

You know what?

You should go instead of me.

Chaperone with Billy.

No, ah... Thank you.

Nonsense. it's... it's the weekend.

It's really your time
with Spencer anyway.

Besides, you'd be doing me a big favor.

I can finally have a night to myself.

OK? Yes.

Let's get you dressed.

Thank you.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

MAN: ♪ Yeah, if you want me,
girl, you better get me ♪

- LAURA: Billy?
- BILLY: Yes.

Grace is gonna go with you instead.

- Oh.
- Just give us 5 minutes.

Oh, OK. Wow. Great.

Wow. OK.

- All right, smile, y'all.
- [DOORBELL RINGS]

- Somebody get that.
- MAN: Yeah.

What's up, Spence?

Olivia, are you serious?

Last time I checked, I don't need

to run my dates by you.

BILLY: OK, everybody,
let's get together.

Let's take this photo. Quick,
quick, quick, quick, quick.

[WOMAN LAUGHS]

Wait, where's Asher?

Yo, who's ready to turn up?

BOY: There he is.

BILLY: Perfect timing. Get her in here.

Oh, and you look wonderful.
Let me get...

Uh-oh.

It's all good.

BILLY: Oh, you all look amazing.

Get in there, Spencer, everybody.
All right.

Get tight, get tight.

Humor me. 1, 2...

Don't do that with your face, J.P.
and... Boom.

OK. One more for safety.

Hey, listen,

if a white girl end up onstage

getting doused in pig blood, I'm out.

Man, you're crazy.

Dead serious.

Oh, hell, no, bro.

- What?
- I ain't get all dressed up

and drag my ass to Beverly Hills

to sit here and watch you sulk.

Hey, easy. I-i don't sulk.

Tell that to your face.

Shut up, man.

Budget for these dances have definitely

gone up since we were in school.

[SCOFFS] That was such a long time ago.

Uh, speak for yourself.

Don't age me.

You look amazing.

Yeah, well,

your wife is a miracle worker

with some eye shadow and a closet

full of designer dresses.

[CHUCKLES]

There's no football banner.

It's supposed to be above the stage

and that one's supposed
to be on the side.

OK, so?

Babe, it's just a stupid banner.

This one's fine.

No, Asher, I worked

really hard on this dance

and that stupid banner is how

we're acknowledging your team.

I'm sorry.

Hey, you haven't had a chance

to enjoy your own homecoming.

Let's just dance. Come on.

No. no, I can't. I have to fix this.

I'll be right back.

You sure this is really
just about the banner?

- Are you OK?
- Seriously, dude?

You have a lot of nerve

stepping to my girl right now.

Look, I ain't trying to
fight with you, boy.

Well, maybe you should've
thought about that

before you made a pass at Leila.

I didn't mean for it all
to go down like that.

Well, it did.

But that kiss didn't
mean anything to Leila,

so how about you stop stalking her,

because you were just a mistake.

- You really want to...
- Listen, listen,

I'm thirstier than a mug, man.

I need a drink, like, now.

Do you have to be such an ass?

I'm here with you, aren't I?

Isn't that enough?

I'm sorry about what Asher said.

Kissing you wasn't a mistake.

You're still with Asher, though.

He's going through a lot right now

and I didn't want it to feel like

I'm kicking him when
he's already down, and...

Change is scary. I get it.

You know what I admire about you?

You're a giver.

You're always putting
everybody else's feelings

before your own.

My moms is like that.

When is it gonna be your turn?

You deserve to have people in your life

that's gonna take care
of you for a change.

You deserve to be happy.

OK. Where is this banner?

Thanks. I wouldn't have had

any idea where to look.

Oh, happy to help. Happy to help.

- So...
- hmm.

Spencer, Asher, and Leila.

There's something there, right?

Ha ha! I mean, I don't know

the specifics, but...

Pretty girl in the middle
of the two arguing boys.

Sounds familiar, don't it?

I guess so.

OK. Voila.

[CLAPS HANDS] Great.

[RATTLES DOORKNOB]

- Billy.
- Hmm.

I think this is locked.

I got my keys here.

You mean those keys?

- Huh.
- [LAUGHS]

MAN: ♪ See a vision so beautiful... ♪

JORDAN: You know,

I'm gonna start taking
that look personally.

- What look?
- That "I'd rather be

anywhere else but here" look.

I'm just keeping you humble.

OK. Proposition time.

OK.

We can stay here and hang out

with your bros and become

a total high school cliché or

you can take my hand,

leave with me now,

and experience a night

full of surprises.

I love surprises.

Yeah. You would.

JORDAN: Excuse me.

All right. Enough. This is stupid.

OK? We 3 kids from Crenshaw.

We in this crazy-ass room

with these crazy-ass rich people

dancing to some damn diplo or whatever.

I don't know. I can't enjoy myself

because y'all fools keep shooting

them Kobe and Shaq death stares

instead of talking.

Y'all gotta get it together. Now.

Hello.

Stop looking at me like I'm stupid.

Figure it out.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Man.

Oy, she been bossing
us around like that

since the fourth grade.

That ain't never gonna change.

I know, but...

So how does it feel to
be a part of all this?

I don't know if I ever really feel

part of Beverly Hills, man.

I don't know, dawg. From
where I'm standing,

- it feel like...
- What?

I'm just saying it feel like

this life fits you like a glove.

Come on, man.

[GIRLS LAUGHING]

Look, man, Olivia's like a sister

to me, all right?

If you're just messing with her head

to mess with mine, I ain't
gonna let that happen.

Oh, no, I deal with you.

Problem is,

her not-so-sisterly feelings for you.

Man, whatever.

- All right.
- All right, look,

maybe for like a second
when I first moved here,

I thought she might've
been feeling me, but

turns out it was nothing.

Oh, it was something.

It still is.

Babe.

What do you want to talk about?

Look, I'm so sorry.

You and me, it's...

It's not gonna work anymore.

You're choosing my teammate over me?

I'm not choosing Spencer.

I'm choosing myself. That's the point.

Look, ash, if we're being honest,

we probably should have
done this a while ago.

We've both been through so much

with my mom passing
and your mom leaving

and the whole money thing.

Maybe we've just been
holding onto each other

for the wrong reasons.

Wow.

So you're just gonna do
whatever you please, huh?

Everyone else's feelings be damned?

There's more of your father
in you than I thought.

Hey, um, you've been
drinking and you're hurt.

Maybe you should just go home.

Why would I leave, Leila?

The party's just getting started.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

J.J.

Where's that flask, baby?

Oh. Keep your voice down, bro.

Now we're talking.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey. It's party time. Drink up.

MAN: ♪ I think I like her,
I think I like her... ♪

Maybe you should chill on the drinking.

I'm just getting started.
What are you talking about?

Look, I recognize a downward
spiral when I see one.

No, no, no. See, you don't understand.

I'm celebrating.

Turns out Leila cheated with Spencer.

We don't have anything to
feel guilty about anymore,

so cheers.

You already knew, didn't you?

Olivia.

I thought that you were different.

I thought you and I had
each other's back.

But you're just like everyone else.

Man, it's like "dynasty" here.

- Right?
- [PHONE CHIMES]

Yeah.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Bro, what's good? How
was the interview?

They loved the kid so much,

they put me right to work.

See, I told you. What
they got you doing?

You know, assisting or whatever.

Yo. Now that it's my first day,

I can't really leave.

That mean you can't meet Swizz.

All right, look, don't worry.

I got you, all right?
Tyrone, he'll never know.

Thanks. I won't forget this.

I got you, man. Say no more.

All right.

So what's up?

I gotta go take care of something.

It's gonna help Shawn get out

and me, too.

I better come with you.

No. You can't.

All right? I just need you to trust me.

Be careful.

All right.

Besides, man, you got your own problems

to worry about.

Don't wait.

- Shut up.
- Ha ha ha!

Hey.

I am tired of doing the right things.

So what you saying?

I'm saying I think I want to dance.

OK.

WOMAN: ♪ Baby, while we're young ♪

♪ I think we should
do something crazy ♪

I'm so sorry, but, Leila,

[LAUGHTER]

I'm serious. Ha ha!

If you want to lose weight,

do jury service at our courthouse.

[LAUGHS]

The cafe is so bad. [LAUGHS]

Um... all right. Your turn.

Your turn. Ask me a question.

Mm.

Why Laura?

Ooh. Wow. OK. You went in.

Was leaving Crenshaw and
marrying outside the culture

a rebound thing after we broke up?

How did this not make the
"do not discuss" list?

I guess I always wondered.

I just... Promised myself never to ask.

- You know what?
- Huh?

- Forget I asked.
- No, no, no.

It's a fair question.

Uh, well, well, I married Laura

because I love her, so...

But if I'm being honest,

when you chose Corey
over me back in the day,

that broke the last tether

that was... was holding me to Crenshaw.

You always had a love-hate

relationship with Crenshaw.

Not the place. Not the place.

I was just tired of the responsibility

that came with being a black man

from the 'Hood.

You know, I always had
to be better than great,

and it felt like if I messed up,

then the whole 'Hood
messed up, and that...

That was a lot to carry.

[WHISPERS] Yeah.

[DOOR OPENS]

Oh. Hey.

You guys, I'm so sorry.

Oh, no, thank you.

I came as soon as I got your messages.

I have to get this banner to the gym.

Hopefully, it's not too late.

All right.

[POP MUSIC PLAYING]

Can I get that mic real quick?

Yeah.

- [MUSIC STOPS]
- What's up, Beverly?

[CROWD CHEERING]

Allow me to introduce you all

to the best damn football
team in Southern California.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Aaron Miller, Mr. Strong
safety himself, get up here.

- Make some noise, everybody.
- [CROWD CHEERING]

And that beast?

That beast, J.J., my boy.

Best damn linebacker

I've ever played with.

Sorry. Crisis averted.

And of course...

The real MVP.

Beverly's latest
transfer Spencer James.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Yeah. Heh heh.

He's the best there is.

Isn't that right, Leila?

I mean, you did cheat on me with him,

so you would know.

[CROWD MURMURING]

No, no, it-it's OK, really, it's OK.

Because technically, I cheated first.

Tell her, Olivia.

Tell her. Go on.

Tell your best friend how we had sex

way before Spencer
showed up on the scene.

Tell her. Go ahead.

- Come with me.
- [CROWD MURMURING]

Leila.

Leila, wait. Please, I...

I don't want to hear it.

How could you do this to me?

It didn't mean anything.

I swear, OK?

That's why I didn't want to tell you.

I didn't want to hurt
you over a mistake.

You let me pour my heart out to you.

You gave me advice knowing
you'd betrayed me.

I didn't want to give you advice.
You begged me.

Because I thought I was
talking to my best friend,

not a treacherous bitch.

Wow.

You are such a hypocrite.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but

you messed around with Spencer

knowing how I felt about him,

knowing that you had a boyfriend.

It's not the same.

No, you're right. It's not.

I was messed up on drugs

when I slept with Asher.

What's your excuse?

Maybe now you can finally admit

that you're not miss perfect after all

but you're a messy human

who screws up like the rest of us.

Thank you for enlightening me.

Leila. Wait! Please!

Of course.

- Look, Olivia.
- I know.

I'm a horrible person.

I can't hear that from you right now.

Leila!

[ENGINE STARTS]

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

Damn.

- Coach, I'm sorry.
- I don't want to hear it.

You drank alcohol on school property.

- Yeah, but...
- Quiet!

Was anybody else from the
team drinking with you?

No. it... it was just me.

[SIGHS]

You leave me no choice.

I'm suspending you for
the next two games.

T-tomorrow's homecoming.

Scouts are gonna be at that game.

I have to play. Please
do not do this to me.

Unfortunately, son,

you did this to yourself.

Coach.

Yo. You late.

Already took care of it.

Swizz called me when Shawn didn't show.

I told him I wanted him here.

I told Shawn that I would handle this,

so this is on me.

There's been a lot on you lately.

Having a gay chick roll with us

is making us look soft.

I could be a asset. Trust me.

How? because at this point,

you just a liability.

Unless you ready to prove otherwise.

Prove how?

Take a walk with me.

The hell I'm supposed to do with this?

Some crips hang out on the
corner on that house.

Take your pick.

Ty, I can't do this.
That's... that's not me.

Chicks survive in this gang by being

the baddest bitches in the streets,

and you think I'm just
gonna carry your ass

and you ain't willing to ride for me?

I don't carry nobody.

So you and your boy Shawn,

watch your back.

I swear I'm not normally
this big a mess.

That's OK, though.

When you gonna stop apologizing?

Probably sometime in 2020.

Heh.

This is so not how I
saw this night going.

I don't know.

I mean, excitement
seem to be our thing.

First it was bullets flying,

now this.

Who knows what happens
on our third date?

Why are you so nice?

I'm not usually.

I guess... I'm just motivated.

I can't leave him there alone.

Even after everything?

I know what it's like
to hit rock bottom.

He needs a friend.

I'm sorry to do this.

It's all good.

So when the dust settles, holla at me.

Doesn't matter how long.

You're kind of worth waiting for.

COOP: What's up with you?

I thought you'd be flying high

from your new gig.

How I go from running my own block,

making mad paper, to
a minimum-wage job,

cleaning up after boozy-ass

failed musicians turned producers.

But you stayed.

Yeah, I did.

It's a legit job, right?

J.P.'s boy even showed up.

Said he respected my hustle.

So I'MMA try to stick it out.

So everything's cool with Swizz?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tyrone was there, too.

I mean, he was cool with everything.

All right, then, let's celebrate.

I'm gonna go get some po'boys.

Wait.

Ty never picks up his
own product unless...

There was a problem,
wasn't there, Coop?

Tyrone, man, he... he not feeling me

or you right now.

And to be honest, I'm a
little scared, Shawn.

Shawn!

It's all good.

Don't even sweat Tyrone.

I'm... I'm gonna back him off of you.

Who am I kidding, Coop?

Legit job ain't my life.

Are you serious right now?

That's how you became a cheerleader?

Hey, a bet's a bet.

My meathead jock of a brother

didn't think I could do it,

so I showed him.

And I got his allowance for 6 months

and his surfboard.

- Oh, my god.
- [GIGGLES]

You're amazing. You know that?

Why, thank you, Mr. Baker.

Listen, I...

I'd like to keep doing this.

Going out, I mean, together.

Yeah, I'd like that, too.

Oh, damn. Jeez.

Do you realize what
time it is right now?

Yeah, I sure do. It's time for a swim.

Are you serious right now?

It's almost midnight.

Do you not realize we
have homecoming tomorrow?

I didn't forget. I just don't care.

Not tonight, not when
I'm here with you.

What do you say?

I say I need to book it home

or my dad's gonna kill me.

Yeah, and I say that you
just need to loosen up.

Aren't you always tired
of doing what's right?

What is it that you want right now?

What is it that you want?

It's a hell of a view, right?

you got feelings for me.
