Amber Brown (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
Come on, Dorothy.
I'll take a picture
of you reading the casting.
It's a big maybe.
I can't believe I actually auditioned.
I can't see.
Wait. Now I can see.
You're in the cast!
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, no, wait, I can see it. I'm…
Angry Apple Tree Number 3?
I'm so excited.
I'm so happy to be playing Dorothy.
- Congratulations, Hannah.
- You too, Amber.
You got yourself a role.
You must be absolutely thrilled.
She sure did.
She's a tree.
Not just any tree.
Angry Apple Tree Number 3.
You'll be great. A great tree.
- Well, she's done her research.
- What?
Nothing.
I can't stand that she still has
the tree hanging over us.
That's kind of funny.
Are you okay?
I'm not feeling well.
I think I'm gonna ask to be excused.
Dear Diary, I'm only telling you this.
I let myself dream that I, Amber Brown,
could actually get the part of Dorothy.
And I would have been okay
with getting any other part,
like Glinda, or even the Scarecrow.
But Angry Tree Number 3?
It hurts.
And I'm not sure
if we can turn off our dreams,
but I think I need to, if it hurts
this much when they don't come true.
I dream of my parents
getting back together.
Amber!
Amber?
Honey.
Hi. I need to take your temperature.
Come here.
98.6. No fever.
- Mom?
- Yeah?
I don't think I'm really sick sick.
Yeah.
I think maybe Dorothy
has something to do with this.
And her little dog too.
It's my dreams.
I dreamed of being Dorothy.
But I'm a tree.
Come on. Trees are awesome.
They're so strong, and they--
They provide so many things,
like shade and furniture.
Also, firewood.
Really, Mom? You sound like Max.
That's not such a bad thing.
I can't believe I even auditioned.
I'm so embarrassed.
- What?
- I'm so ashamed.
Just wait till Dad finds out.
Amber Brown,
your dad is proud of you,
whatever role you play.
No.
I auditioned for Dorothy.
The lead.
Dad was Juror Number 8. That's lead.
What? He was what?
Dad, remember? In eighth grade?
He was Juror Number 8 in 12 Angry Men.
He was the lead. A star.
I vaguely remember that.
And I'm Angry Apple Tree Number 3.
Which I will never forget,
- because I'm so proud of you.
- Don't start with that.
Honey, no, seriously.
You learned how to take a risk.
You were brave and auditioned.
You faced disappointment and then--
and then learned how to feel good
about the accomplishment.
Feel good about it?
Who said I feel good about it?
- Well--
- About being a tree.
You know, you gotta choose
to feel good about it.
I don't think so.
Here. Talk to Justin.
I'll go make us some tomato soup
and grilled cheese. Sound good?
- All right.
- Okay.
- Hey.
-Hey.
-Did you get the part? Dorothy?
- No.
But you got a call to check the cast list?
Well, yeah.
I found out a couple other girls did
a great job auditioning for Dorothy too.
So I'm not the only one.
We all got parts though.
All right!
You did get a part?
I'm Angry Apple Tree Number 3.
Don't laugh.
I'm sorry.
Who is Dorothy?
Guess.
- Stanley?
- Ha ha.
Hannah?
Okay, so it's Hannah. How boring.
Let her have her fun, and you have
a great time being an angry tree.
No, I can't. I have to quit.
-You can't quit.
- I'm embarrassed.
Of what? Because you went
out on a limb to audition.
Be proud that you branched out.
Oh, brother.
I wish I could be there
to see you as that angry tree.
-Number 3.
- Number 3.
- I wanted to impress my dad.
-And you will.
Like I did
when I tried out for Little League.
My dad was the coach.
Talk about embarrassed.
He put me in the outfield,
hoping nothing would come my clumsy way.
The only time I caught a ball
was when it fell
into the back of my oversized jersey.
Thank God I had the jersey tucked in.
Justin, let's go!
Gotta go. Don't quit. Ba-later!
Ba-later.
- Morning.
- Hey.
Can I have some of that salad?
It is a facial that your Aunt Pam
is testing out for my new book.
But it is edible.
Yes, one could have some.
That's okay. I'll just have
some of the cucumber slices.
I mean, those are my eye treatments, so--
- Okay!
- Gonna-- Yeah.
Is any of the food here for eating?
I mean, look,
I can make you some pancakes.
- That aren't green?
- Yeah.
Really?
Pancakes coming up.
- Okay. Thanks.
- Yeah.
Mom, I can't find my Velcro branches,
and we're doing a dress rehearsal today.
Hall closet, in a ziplock bag,
safety-pinned to your jean jacket.
Okay, thanks.
So, this is exciting.
How are rehearsals going?
Okay, I guess.
I haven't been
in the complete tree costume yet.
They say once I have it on,
I can't sit down.
- The bark base doesn't bend.
- That's how I feel in a pair of jeans.
- I think this is already working.
- It's great, right?
Yeah, now I have more respect for salads.
Well, I am looking forward to
you in the play, Amber.
Amber, I made you
a lunch for your extra-long rehearsal day.
Thanks, but we're not supposed
to bring any food into the theater.
They're having a problem with mice.
I am so afraid of mice.
I don't even wanna bring a crumb in on me.
Sorry, mice. No Amber buffet today.
- Did you see that?
- I did.
Did you just see that? That was a laugh.
Sounded like more of a smile. It was like…
Actually, I can't show you
'cause I can't move my face.
- Come on. That was a laugh! Right?
- Yes, it's a laugh.
- Babe, it was totally a laugh. I saw it.
- Touchdown!
Wow, settle down.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Yeah, come in.
- Okay.
I appreciate you
not going through the attorney.
- Yeah.
- Let's figure it out.
Yeah.
- Do you want coffee? Okay.
- Yeah.
Yeah, same pipe.
I can fix it. Tighten in two seconds.
I just need-- Do you have a toolbox?
Well, I mean, yeah,
your toolbox is still here.
But, I could call someone, like a plumber,
- or have Max take a look at it or--
- Oh, no. I can do it.
Are you sure that you don't mind?
Positive. It's fine.
- I'll get it.
- Okay.
Hey, honey! I'm home!
In a home. Your home.
Sarah!
Hi. I'm Phil.
Hi. Nice to meet you. Max.
Sarah know you're here?
No. I broke in.
That's funny.
Hi.
- Well, I'm gonna go fix the faucet.
- Kay. That's--
Why didn't you call me first?
I had a client cancel.
I thought I'd take you to lunch.
I thought it'd be a nice surprise.
I didn't know that you hired
your ex-husband to do the plumbing.
No. He's here to talk about
Amber's custody schedule.
Okay. I can handle the plumbing.
You put, like,
three feet of duct tape on those pipes.
- It stopped the leak, didn't it?
- Okay.
Then why don't you go up and help him?
- No.
- Why?
I am not going up there.
He's gonna make fun of my duct tape.
- Can you just go up and help?
- Okay, fine. I will.
- I will go…
- You're gonna go?
-…up there.
- Thank you very much.
Can I help?
I mean, I could just take over.
You and Sarah could have your meeting.
Oh, no, it's not a problem.
Let me handle it.
Who the heck put
all this duct tape on here?
Sarah.
- What a mess.
- Yeah, I know, right?
- Can you hand me--
- Hey, how's it going?
Max, can you hand me a basin wrench?
Yeah!
I think it's probably--
- It's gotta be one of those.
- This one right here.
Yeah.
Max, can you hold on to the faucet?
- It's gonna be loose for a second.
- Yeah.
- Sorry.
- No, it's--
Here. I got-- I can get that.
I can't handle this.
What? What did I do? Did I do something?
No, best you get a professional in here.
Let me just tighten up the faucet.
- Do you wanna help?
- I don't know, I'm holding it.
Do you wanna go out for coffee
to talk about Amber's schedule or…
No. You know what? I'm gonna go.
You guys should be able
to have your meeting here.
Maybe we all three should meet,
seeing as you're gonna
be marrying my wife.
- Ex-wife.
- Whatever!
Phil, I'm so sorry.
- I wanted to tell you in person.
- You know, if it's any comfort,
Sarah didn't even tell me
you were moving back into the States. So…
Max! Yes, I did. I told you.
Does Amber know you're engaged?
- I told--
- I told Sarah to tell you first.
- Max.
- The way it should be.
I agree.
Am I awake?
Then my dad saw the engagement ring,
and he was not happy.
And then what?
- Then, awkward central.
- I'm sure.
And they're all planning on
coming to the play.
Aunt Pam, Max, Dad and Mom.
And my mom.
Yep.
We've got a lot more painting to do.
Yeah.
- Wanna try Max's facial?
- Yeah!
All right.
How do we apply it to our face?
We use our hands?
Sounds good.
Wow, the green really makes my eyes pop.
I'm feeling prettier,
if that's even possible.
- You have any chips?
- Yeah, I think so.
Girls!
Yeah, Dad, still in here with the paint!
Aunt Pam will be dropping off
some of your pillows, Amber!
Okay.
Don't put that paint on your skin.
What is this for?
Some kind of selfie or something?
It could be toxic.
It's okay, Dad.
It's edible.
Oh, geez. What is that?
It's an avocado facial.
And dip.
- I'm gonna take this.
- Shocker.
The landlord's son will be dropping off
some filters for the air conditioner.
He totally thought it was paint.
That we painted our faces.
Max said we should wash it off
when it tightens the skin.
- It feels pretty good. Refreshing.
- Yeah.
Amber? Brandi?
We are from Zarnar.
We've come to study your planet.
Take us to your leader.
I can't do the voice, but I can do this!
Can't ever touch the sides of it,
because it gets too hot.
So, I have to make sure
to steer from the frame.
That's cool.
Looks like something
we'd have on our spaceship.
Totally!
Bravo.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Hi. So exciting.
- Did you know about--
- Hi.
- Yes.
- Yeah, and her name is right here.
I think she's right after intermission.
I'm sorry, Amber.
I think she's looking for Phil.
You're all on
immediately after intermission, okay?
We're gonna be lined up here.
Let's go get ready. Let's go.
Should've quit
when I got this part of a lousy tree.
This is a waste of time.
No wonder Dad's not here.
He's probably embarrassed.
Hi.
Hi. What's your name?
Paula.
It's nice to meet you, Paula.
I'm Amber.
Also known as "Angry Apple Tree Number 3."
Must be so cool to be a tree.
Must be cool to be--
"Intermission lady."
Are you nervous?
I guess.
You just need some courage.
Yeah.
Great bow tie.
Thanks.
I'm so proud of you.
So cute!
Here I go.
Go, Paula!
Well, that was great.
You think so? I was nervous.
You couldn't tell at all.
Awesome. Feels so good.
Wish me luck.
Luck!
Go get 'em, Angry Tree Number 3.
Is that her, second from the left?
No.
Oh, no, where is it? Where is it?
Pardon me. Excuse me. I--
Just-- Excuse me.
Oh, my gosh!
- Is she all right?
- What's going on?
- Mouse!
- What? Where?
House?
- What?
- House?
Mouse!
Timber!
Oh, no.
- I'm okay.
- Totally fine.
- Good here.
- I'm all right.
I'm okay, but I think I broke a branch.
Yeah!
Take it away, Paula.
Thank you, Paula!
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
