Hart of Dixie (2011–2015): Season 2, Episode 15 - The Gambler - full transcript

Those feelings I had for Lavon,
I still have them.

Something already happened
between you two, hasn't it?

Yes.
You were the
only person

who knew how I really felt,

and I don't think that
I can ever look at you

the same way again.

I'm sorry, Lavon, but whatever
this is, it has to end

until I can win back
Lemon's trust.

WADE:
I'm just trying to spend
some quality time with you.

There's nothing wrong when
people appreciate your work.

It's called career satisfaction
and you would



understand that if you...

That came out wrong.

Plans for your bar?

I think I might be ready
to give it another shot.

(electric guitar playing
rock music)

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.

Yeah.

You know, as your doctor,

I'd have to say that is not
the safest way to travel.

But as your girlfriend,

guitarist in the back
of a truck, totally sexy.

Well, we were rehearsing
in Meatball's garage last night

till Meatball Sr. kicked us out.

Spent the rest of the night
jamming on the open road.



What? Bam.

Nice, and when were you
planning on sleeping?

Two days from now

when we win the
Battle of the Bands in Fairhope.

We'll sleep the
sleep of dudes

who are $20,000 richer.

Yeah, we will.

When you
open your bar,

I get a drink named after me.

The Meatball.

Yeah. Yeah, I could do that.
All right, buddy, it's yours.

Take it easy, pal.

Come here, beautiful.

Mm, mm, mm, mm.

Oh, my goodness.

Earth to AnnaBeth.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

I, uh...

(sighs) Hi.

Okay, well, it's unavoidable.

I kind of have to ask
about the tuxedo.

Oh, yeah, it-it's
for a wedding.

Huh?
Oh, not mine.

Obviously.

I am officiating.

Just one of my many
mayoral duties.

That's sweet.
Uh, who's the lucky couple?

Couples, actually.

Overseas, in the Marine Corp.

See, I-I do proxy weddings.

Two people here in BlueBell
stand in for a bride and groom

overseas,
so they can be married legally.

Wow, that is so romantic.

Well, you know, not for me.

You know, I-I
think I'm done

in the romance department
for a while.

So, you don't have to worry
about Lavon Hayes

trying to win you back.

(laughs)

(Lon laughing)

Walt, you are such a hoot.

Oh, you are sweet.

And beautiful.

And you are so good
at giving a compliment

that I was thinking that maybe
you could spend

the weekend with me here.

My daddy's out
with his teenager

and Magnolia's on a field trip.

Oh, I wish I could, Lemon,

but I've spent every night
with you for the past two weeks.

And this weekend is my college
roommate's bachelor party.

Oh, well, you can't miss that.

Hi, Walt.

Hi, Lemon.

Oh, don't you look luminous.

CRICKETT:
We missed you at the last two
Belle meetings.

There was a mere crisis

involving discretionary
snack cakes

at the preservation committee.

AnnaBeth totally
took care of it.

She filled in for you.

Yes, well, she's been doing
a lot of that lately.

(feigns laugh)

Enjoy the coffees.

Looks like your
friends miss you, too.

Oh. (chuckles)

Come on, you shouldn't be alone.

Have a girls' weekend
while I'm with the guys.

You know what, you're so right.

The stare, the icy
cold tone of voice.

I'd know Lemon's
wrath anywhere.

What did you do?

Something stupid.

I thought
it'd blow over by now.

So, we keep running into her
and being nice until it does.

Sooner or later, someone
else will offend her

even worse and she'll
forget all about it.

I would love to,
but she's avoiding me.

Well, she can't
do that forever.

Yeah, I know.

In a town this size...

No, I mean really.

She can't do
that forever.

Look.

This tracks Lemon's location

by her cell
phone signal.

Those fe this
up when I got lost

bringing her iced teduring
that Civil War reenactment.

accidently run into her.
Those fe this
up when I got lost

And make her see just exactly
what she's been missing.

Meatball's lyrics may
seem simple at first,

but like an onion, they're
many-layered underneath.

Oh, yeah.

Well, what have we here?

What? I'm a
groupie now.

Wow, well,

I hope y'all are going to come
to the band practice later.

Duh.
Um, yeah.

Why not? Yeah.
Yeah.

Awesome. All right,
I'll see you later.

What is going on with you?

I feel like I'm
cheating on my boyfriend

with a super hot musician
that looks just like him.

She's not my favorite person--

or my second or third,

she's really right near
the bottom of my list--

but I almost feel bad
for Zoe right now.

Musicians are like,
the sexiest drug in the world.

Well, (clears throat) you know
that your-your

current boyfriend has some
musical chops of his own.

Oh, I know.

I saw the photo of you in your
high school production

of South Pacific.

No, no, (stammers) I happen
to have played with Wade

at BlueBellapalooza.

Undergarments were thrown
in my direction.

Sweetie, you don't have to try
to impress me.

I now find lawyers
equally as sexy.

I'll see you tonight.

Uh... okay.
Okay, yeah, okay.

Oh, Daddy, it was no problem.

Everybody else was busy doing
other things,

so I had time to stop by and
check on the house, so...

Oh.

Sure, yeah, um, okay, yeah,
you can-you can call me back

after your dinner with Shelby.

I'll just be here... (laughs)

by myself.

Okay.

(sighs)

(wood creaking)

(gasps) Who's there?

(creaking continues)

(screaming)

(music plays through headphones)
You scared me half to death.

Magnolia,
what happened to your

choral group trip to Jackson?

Oh, well, you know how teacher's
always bluff

that they'll turn the bus around
if some idiot

doesn't stop fooling around?

Wasn't bluffing this time.

Yay, this is fantastic.

You're not even going to ask
if I was the idiot?

No.

We are going
to have a sister weekend.

Are you ready for 48
hours of inseparable fun?

Yay.
Yay.

(rock intro playing)

Sorry, I'm late.

Sergeant Jeffries' elbow
was acting up again.

What'd I miss you?

(chuckling):
Just you wait.

♪ My body's in the car

♪ My heart is getting gas

♪ You tell me that you love me

♪ Then you light a match

♪ Burning in your madness

♪ The pedal's to the floor

♪ Flames are ripping
through me ♪

♪ And I can't take no more.

♪

Am I wrong
or is this really...

Uh-huh.

(song ends)
Whoo-hoo-hoo.

Thank you, BlueBell.

Yeah, yeah.

GEORGE:
Wade, that was-that
was so awesome.

Man, that was so good.

But we do have to go now.

Uh, because I
promised Tansy

that I was gonna
fix her shower.

But you, you keep
on rocking man.

All right, rock on, buddy.

Yeah.
Yeah, buddy.

Hi.
Hey, what'd you think?

Hmm? (laughs)

What'd I tell you, right?
We're amazing, aren't we?

I think you're ready
for a little

"Nightmare Demon Lullaby."

Uh-oh, here it comes.

One, two, three, four.

(heavy metal intro plays)

♪ Nightmare demon lullaby

♪ Grim Reaper comes, I said
a nightmare demon lullaby ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, why, why?

♪ Why?
(mouthing)

+

So, I have gone over it
in my head,

and our only option is
to kidnap Meatball.

Keep him somewhere
isolated, yet comfortable,

until Battle of
the Bands is over.

Okay, I-I think we need to
settle down, all right, cowgirl?

Maybe it's not as bad
as we thought.

All right, we didn't like it,
but Tansy seemed

to really love it, so...

Okay, Mind Face is never going
to win a contest

based on the audiences' votes,

all right, 'cause Meatball,
his voice,

he sounds like a werewolf stuck
in a garbage disposal.

And Mind Face-- what
does-what does that even mean?

Does it mean, like, the melding
of the brain and the face?

I thought-I though it meant,
like, mind the face.

Got to watch the face.

Mind Face! Mind Face!

No, it is,
it's a confounding name.

But the point of the matter is,

we cannot say anything to Wade.

He's way too excited about this,
all right?

For now.

But what happens when he loses,

and we didn't do anything
to help him?

That is our fault.

Our fault?
Yes.

No.
Yes.
No.

Opening that bar
is his life dream, okay?

We have to tell him.

(sighs)

Listen, Zoe, he's too invested,
okay?

You know the man,

he is not even going
to hear you.

(sighs) You're right.

That's why it can't
come from me.

Do you take Matthew by proxy
to be your

lawfully wedded husband?

I do.

Do you take Kimberly by proxy to
be your lawfully wedded wife?

I sure do.

Now,
by the power vested in me,

I pronounce
Matthew Scott Jackson

and Kimberly Trang Tran

husband and wife.

May I now kiss
my proxy bride?

You may.

(clears throat)
Okay, break it up.

We all got places to be.

I've got to run, I'm
going to be late for work.

Oh, come with me,
I'll turn on the siren.

Lavon, that was so romantic.

I always knew
I wanted to marry Wanda,

but looking into her eyes
and saying those words

made me realize
I want to marry her now.

Good luck with that,
I hope it works out for you.

What? No.

You have to
help me plan it.

Tom, Wanda loves you.

Just get down on one knee
and ask her to marry you.

One knee won't cut it.

Wanda makes me feel
big, epic things.

(laughs) I know, I'm a Hallmark
card, I can't help it.

Eh, Wanda does
deserve something nice.

Which is why I need your help.

Your proposal at Christmas
was so perfect

and detailed
and beautiful.

Up until the point where she...

Mm-hmm.

Well, you know.

Uh, please, Lavon,

for Wanda...

for love.

Fine.

Yeah. Okay, I was thinking

we could do something
with Ewoks and Avatars.

Uh, no.

How about this one?

Not a chance.

When you said
you'd take me shopping,

I thought that we were using
the definition of shopping

that the rest of the world uses,

and that you would
buy me something.

Well, that's because you only
want the dresses

that look like they belong
on Rihanna's backup dancers.

(door opens, bell jingles)

Lemon! How funny
seeing you here!

Oh, hey, so Crickett and I were
just heading

to Susie's for some pedis.

Maybe you and Magnolia would
like to join us.

It would give us a chance
to catch up, really talk.

Nope. Uh, we're nowhere near
finished shopping yet.

I am.
Oh, really?

I thought you wanted
to try this on.

Sorry, ladies.
Maybe next time.

(knocking)

Hey, babe!

Hey, what's up?

I ran into George
in town

and he has a
little problem.

Maybe you can help
him with it.

It's kind of
sensitive, though.

Ooh, something sexual?

If it's got
to do with Tansy,

the best bet: Ace bandages,
a lot of ice.

GEORGE:
No, no, it's not that.

Um, I know that you're all set

to have Meatball play with you
tomorrow night.

Who, by the way,
he's a, he's a huge talent.

But I was wondering
if you might consider

letting me replace him
just for one night.

What? Why?

Well, because I have been
feeling very down lately.

It's just 'cause I don't
have anything artistic

in my life right
now, you know?

And the last time I felt
like I really did was,

well, the last time
that you and I

played together
at BlueBellapalooza.

(gasps) Oh.

Well, I hate to tell you this,
George,

but I think you're talking
to the wrong guy.

You should ask the good
Dr. Hart here

for a suggestion on a shrink.

ZOE:
I thought
the two buddies jamming

on stage, there is no better
therapy than that.

Mm-mm.

And you don't have to worry
about winning,

because you guys?
Awesome together.

Everyone said so.

Hmm. Well, as tempting as this
charitable act sounds,

I think I'm going to have
to take a rain check

on the reunion tour.

Oh.
Gotta dance with the girl
you brung.

Not always you don't.

No hard feelings?

No. No, none at
all, actually.

No.
Yeah, And so best
of luck tomorrow night.

And, uh,

take it easy.

(door opens, closes)

What was that about?

Okay, I'm sorry I didn't
tell you this before,

but I was trying to
protect your feelings.

And you're not gonna
want to hear this,

but I don't think
Meatball is great.

I think that he stinks,
sometimes literally,

but mostly vocally.

(laughs)
Is that what this
whole show is about?

You and Tucker and
the "search for an
artistic outlet."

Man, that was really good.
It was very moving.

I am trying to help you.

I think that you are making
a mistake with Meatball.

You just don't get Meatball's
very particular artistic flavor.

Oh, yeah, that's because
it sounds like

Meatball's got one stuck
in his throat!

You who thought Waylon Jennings
was a band comprised of brothers

named Jennings
who liked to wail.

I can't be
the only one

that ever thought that.

It's not a big deal,
all right?

Everybody's got their strengths.

It just so happens, you don't
know anything about music.

It's fine, all right?

That's why
I'm the one in the band.

No, but I do.

Look, don't worry
about it, all right?

I'll worry about it.
Let me do the worrying.

You want a beer?
What you want?

+

Ooh, bummer.

I'm just finishing off
the last of the eggs now,

the pancakes
and some leftovers,

which may or may
not have been
tuna casserole.

So, I've been doing
some thinking,

and maybe I was quick
to pass judgment

and wasn't being
supportive enough.

Well, that is mighty big
of you, Doc.

I think you should call
Lily Anne Lonergan

and reunite the old band.

After all, I'm the reason

that you're not playing
with her tonight.

Just so I understand this,

you want me to fire Meatball

and hire Lily Anne,
who made a pass at me

the last time I saw her?

One little pass.
You know, it happens.

Seriously? You think Mind Face
is that bad?

I just, I think the audience
might not hear what you hear.

And the whole point is

to win, right?
I mean, that's what
you really want.

No, what I want, Zoe,

is a girlfriend
who's supportive of me.

And that means
saying you like my band

even though
clearly you don't!

Wait.

(sighs)

(door slams shut)

(sighs)

What's up?
I got your message.

I got your proposal
for you.

I knew you'd do it!
So, what is it?

Picture this. I tell Wanda
you're in the town square

where you're standing next
to a horse-drawn carriage.

You tell her that your love
for her is timeless,

and that you would be honored
to have her hand in marriage.

There's only one
problem with that.

I'm afraid of horses.
Like, very afraid.

So? You're not gonna be
riding them,

you're gonna be driving them,
like a car.

Yeah, yeah, like a car
with four legs.
Yeah.

And beady eyes that ravage
your soul.

Look, what better way to show
your commitment

than to stare fear
straight in the face?

Love is risky, Tom.

But the risk is worth it.

Beady eyes and all.

LEMON:
I thought we put
these boots back.

I had her ring them up
when you weren't looking.

Well, I guess
there's a fine line

between deceit and initiative.

Hey, you know what
best friends do?

They go to concerts.

And I heard that Wade Kinsella's
performing

at the Battle of the Bands
tonight. Can we go?

I don't think so.

Then, no offense, I just
think sisters' weekend

might have to be
over for tonigon.

Tina's having friends over,
and I'll just...

But, um, there's still so much
fun to be had.

I was thinking that we could get
our hair done.

Can I get purple streaks
in my hair?

Um, I guess so.

And you can do yours, too.
(gasps)

Purple streaks?

♪ Sleep is feeling heavy,
and night is coming on ♪

♪ The nightmare demon lullaby,
Grim Reaper come. ♪

Whoo! I put a little
extra sauce on that last one.

What'd you think?

Yeah, yeah,
it was okay.

Uh, you know,

maybe we could make a few
adjustments, though, huh?

What kind
of adjustments?

Well, I just think on a couple
songs, maybe, you know,

we could do something
a bit different.

Like more hardcore?
More death metal?

I was thinking maybe
like more, um...

uh... regular.

What are you talking about?

We invented the Growl Country
style together.

It's our signature.
Yeah, but we got

a three-song set, so maybe, we
can, you know, play one cover.

There's no way in hell
that I, Meatball Reuther,

will ever sing a cover.

That's my face up there.

Yeah, but it's my band,
Meatball.

You wouldn't be here singing if
I didn't call you last week...

And maybe now I wish you hadn't.

'Cause clearly
I'm holding you back.

Well, let me cut you free
of your chains. I quit.

Have fun, Wade Kin-sellout.

Enjoy the high school
reunion circuit.

WALT:
Hello?

Walt, what happened
to your bachelor party?

Well... Kyle was a little bit
more straightlaced

than I remember.

It was a daytime thing.

And co-ed.

Plus you seemed a touch
disappointed when I left, so...

Oh, no.
...figured I'd come
find you.

Look at you.
You look great.

Oh!

Is your hair purple?

Oh, yeah. I was just having
a little sister time.

You remember Magnolia.
Hey.

Hey, if you guys
already got plans, then...

Oh, no, no, no. I'll just go
change, and we can go for a walk

and all head out to dinner.

What do you say, Magnolia?

Actually, you guys go.

I could really use the time
and do my homework instead.

Your homework?

I'm 15.
I do have homework.

Go! It's fine.

How'd you pull that off?

Wade called me
out of the blue.

Nice.

Hey, hey.
See what I mean?

Legitimate rocker cred.

And you did not like it?

No, you sounded fantastic.

But...?

But when I got my life back on
track, I gave myself a policy:

no more dating musicians.

I'm not a musician.

I'm a lawyer.
I got a real job.

So were all my other musicians.
They had day jobs, too, okay?

It's a rule, George Tucker,
and I live by it.

Hey! Here.

What happened?
Last-minute change of plans?

Where's Meatball?

Creative differences.

Yeah, Meatball decided he didn't
want to sell out, so...

Well, that is his loss because
you guys sounded incredible.

Amazing.

Wade, I think
that you might win.

Well, I'd love to sit around
and soak up all the support,

but me and the band have a bunch
more covers

to practice for tonight, so...

+

So, how's the chicken?

I mean, this is the only
civilized restaurant in town,

but Delma does overcook.

Don't you worry.
It's perfect.
Good.

Lemon! What are the odds
of running into you

like this twice in two days?

I wouldn't know,
I don't like to gamble.

CRICKETT:
What happened
to your hair?

I think it looks
sensational.

Well, this is courtesy
of Magnolia.

She and I have been having
such fun together.

Speaking of new looks,
Crickett's thinking

of redoing her kitchen.

I was thinking
of going modern, you know,

like gray walls and
stainless steel appliances.

(yelps)

Gray walls?

Like a submarine.

Or a fallout shelter. (laughs)

Maybe you could

take a look at
my tile samples?

No, thank you.

As you can
see, I'm

on a romantic date with Walt.

Hey.

Oh.

Okay. (laughs)

We'll be over there

in case you change
your mind.

I cannot believe
that didn't work.

Are you sure? Because
we can join your friends.

I don't mind.

I am sure.

All I need is you.

I mean, who cares
about Crickett's kitchen?

I mean, you and I have
so much more in common

than I do with them anyways.

Like our mutual affection
for old movies.

In fact, Philadelphia Story's
playing in Mobile.

We should go.

Yeah, that sounds fine.

Tomorrow then. Oh, and then
the next day is Doctor Zhivago.

Ah... uh, sure, yeah,
I guess so.

Great.

And Friday maybe
we could go the theater.

Uh, Dash is
doing his own

stage version of Funny Girl.

And next Christmas,
maybe we should go

on a theater-themed cruise.

You say, next Christmas?

Uh-huh.

(clears throat)

LAVON:
Is everything set?

All right, great.
I'm gonna make sure

Wanda arrives
in exactly 20 minutes.

I just heard Babs Foster telling
Mrs. Mayfair that Tom's

in town square setting up what
looks like a marriage proposal.

Can you believe it?

This is a disaster.

Sign this set list.

It'll be worth a
small fortune someday

on that Antique
Roadshow program.

WALLY:
You guys sound
real good, Wade.

That prize money's
in the bag.

Don't tell Uncle Wally,
but I'd love to be

the first employee
at your new bar.

Yeah, well,

lot of great bands competing
tonight, Wanda.

You know, nothing's
a sure thing.

Except death and taxes.

(laughs)

GEORGE:
Hey, Tansy.

You're really doing this?

Yeah, yeah,
Wade needs my help.

Plus I think it's
gonna be pretty fun.

But I told you, I...
Tansy.

Look, I was with a woman for
15 years who tried to choose

my socks and tie combination
every single day.

Okay, I-I can't be with
somebody anymore

who dictates
what I can and cannot do.

So if you want
to show up tonight

and support me,
that would be great.

But I am going

to battle

with my band.

Hi...

My... I'm Tom.

And you are Mrs. Sprinkles.
(horses grunts)

Mr. Sprinkles,
Mr. Sprinkles, I'm sorry.

I-I didn't know,
I didn't know.

I had no idea.
LAVON: Tom!

Wait, what...?

No, no, you're too early.
I'm still just trying

to get to know
Mr. and Mrs. Sprinkles.

That's the horses-- I'm not
ready for Wanda right now.

No, it's okay, Tom.

Uh, well, actually
it's not okay...

it...

Wanda's not coming.

So you can stop
with the horses.

What?

Why-why wouldn't she be
coming... Is she sick?

Or paralyzed from
the neck down?
No, no, no.

She's fine.
Well, Levon,

if something's wrong,
you got to tell me.

I overheard Wanda
talking to Wally.

She-she doesn't
want you to propose.

What... But that-that
doesn't make sense beca...

because Wanda would
never say something

like that... that...

I don't believe it.
It's not possible!

(horse neighing)

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Lavon, Lavon...!

(horses neighing)

Help, help!

Tom!

Help!

Tom!

Please!

Tom! (yells)

Mag, you won't believe
what just happened...

(sighs)

(beeps)

(phone line ringing)
(cell phone ringing)

(ringing)

(sighs)
Got your text.

Got about five minutes
before George and I go play

some real life Rock Band,
so what's up?

Let me start by saying
that I am really sorry.

I never should've

butted-in in the first place.

I screwed up trying to interfere

with the way that
you were doing things.

But... I need you to know

that I support you for you.

Reaching for your dream.

(clears throat)

Ta-da!

(laughs)

Um...

Thank you.

I know

that you will win tonight.

'Cause I believe in you.

It's... it's amazing.

(cell phone ringing)

Lavon, I'm

in the middle of something,
I can't...

Oh, my God. (sighs)

I'll be right there.

Look, Tom Long got into it
with some horses...

uh...

I'll see you
at the battle, okay?

All right.

Hey, great to see you, handsome.

I can't wait to see
you kill it up there.

Yeah, thanks.

Good luck.

Hey, look, the sellout.

I'm really gonna
enjoy booing you

Hey, Tucker?

I was thinking maybe we should
do "Ring of Fire" first instead.

Or I guess we
could scratch that

and we could do,

that one once before, right?

All right, man, look.

Everything's gonna
be fine, all right?

Let's just play what we
practiced, all right?

And maybe put down
the drink 'cause we still

got six bands to go, all right?

Just try to relax, Wade.

You relax, man.

This is too important.

ANNOUNCER:
Give it up for Logan Mize.

But you already
let my friends in.

Please, I forgot my I.D.

Just look at me.

Do I look like
a teenager to you?

Put your eyes back in your head
before I call the cops.

This girl is 15.

This was totally
about to work.

You are in so
much trouble.

Why are you talking
to me like a mom?

I thought we were
best friends now.

Yeah, well, best friends
don't break curfew

and sneak out to bars the minute
they let their guard down.

Now get into the car!

Lemon, what a coincidence.

Why do you two keep showing up?

For the love of God, you're
using that app, aren't you?

App? What app?
I-I don't have an app.

I can't believe that
you would stoop so low.

Lemon, how long are you gonna
be mad at me about this?

I don't know.

But no amount of carefully
constructed run-ins

is gonna change the fact
that you betrayed me.

I have apologized
again and again.

What more do you want?

We live in the same town.

We share a business.

Well...

I don't think
that we should anymore.

I want to dissolve AnnaBeth's.

Ooh...

I can't believe it.
(groans)

Well, nothing's broken,
just a mild whiplash.

No, no, I mean Wanda.

I can't believe she doesn't
want me to propose.

I know how
she feels about me.

Well, you think you do,
and then...

Look, you may not
believe me,

but there is
a silver lining here.

(gasps)
Oh, and what is that?

That you didn't have to go
through with the proposal,

make a fool out of yourself.
SHULA: Hello?

Is Tom Long in here?

Tom!

There you are.

Tom is not going

He should be resting.

Hey.

Hey. What are you doing
down there?

Mm.

I'm just stayin'
hydrated, my friend.

All right. Yeah.
Very funny.

Very funny.
Come on, Wade.

(glass clatters)
Get up. Get up.

Get up.
Sit down right here.

Okay. I'm gonna
get you some coffee

and you're gonna
chug it, all right?

We're up next,
so... Hey. Hey.

It's only a couple
of songs, Wade.

All right? You could
do this in your sleep.

It's easy, man.
Yeah.

Everything comes so easy
to Goldenboy George.

We lose, it's just
a teeny little bump

in the otherwise well-paved road

of your life.
Okay, you lose, it's just
have no ideay little bump

what you're
talking about, Wade.

I busted my ass

to get to
where I am.

I made my own success.

You want yours?

Then man up for once,
and go work for it.

See, I got things
at stake, here.

Yeah, I know how much
you want that bar.

No, it's not just
about the bar, George.

I could lose...
everything.

EMCEE:
And now, give it up
for Mind Face!

(crowd cheering)

Wade, I promise you,
we are gonna be great.

Okay? So let's...

let's just put
the drink down...

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

George isn't just a lawyer

and a damn fine singer,

he's also the alcohol police.

Well, I don't need you
judging me, Mr. Tucker.

Hmm. And I also don't
need you in my band.

You're fired.

Hi. You still remember
the set list?

Are you kidding me?

Hell yeah!

Come on.

And the winner of tonight's
Battle of the Bands

and the $20,000
is Logan Mize!

(cheering)

Oh, man!

This thing
is rigged.

Oh. Well, well, well.

Look who showed up.

I decided I couldn't
miss the chance

to come support
my amazingly talented

singin' lawyer.

(giggles)
Even if he

didn't get a chance
to show his stuff.

Yeah? And what about your, uh...

your rule?

I guess you're the exception.

I made the rule

so that I didn't fall back
into old patterns.

Musicians are my
Achilles' heel.

The hours, the groupies...

None of it helped
with my trust issues.

to me in the first place.

u totally should've won.

Hey.

Better get comfy,
'cause you're not leaving here

for the rest of the weekend.

One little
adventure,

and you turn into
a prison warden.

Yep, you can consider
this Alcatraz.

I don't know

who you are anymore.

One minute you want
to be my best friend,

and then you drop me
like a hot potato

for your boyfriend.
You know what,

you're not the only one
who got dropped tonight, okay?

So just get over it.

What?

(sighs)

I'm sorry.

Walt broke up with me.

The dentist dumped you? Why?

I guess I scared him off.

For the same reason
that I let you buy

that ridiculous tiny dress.

I was just trying
so hard not to...

be lonely.

You?

Lonely?

You've never been
alone your whole life.

Yeah, well...

maybe that's the problem.

AnnaBeth and I

had a falling-out.

And I've just been
so desperately

trying to replace her

with either you or with Walt...

that I just let you take
advantage of me.

I'm 15.

I'll take advantage of
anyone who'll let me.

(laughs)

Well, I'm not gonna let it
happen again, okay?

Sweetheart, I can't be
your best friend.

Because you still need
a big sister.

I do.

But I didn't mind having you
as a best friend, either.

(exhales)

Come here.

(whispers)

(sighs)

Hey, Wade.

You can save your closing
argument, Mr. Attorney.

Verdict's in.

Okay.

Look, man, I just...

I just want to know what
the hell's going on with you.

Look, it's none of your
business, all right?

I just want to
be left alone.

Okay.

Okay, so you lost.

It happens.

Hey, look...

you're going to have plenty
of other chances, all right?

Th-There's plenty
of other ways

that you can... you can
raise money for your bar.

You mean plenty
of ways to fail.

So that's it.

That's that, we're just...

we're just gonna quit.

You know something,
George, I'm...

I'm sick of people
thinking I can do better,

be better than
who I am.

They're always gonna
get let down.

No, they're not.

That's not true.

And-and you know it, Wade.

See? There you go.

Believin' in me again.

Wow.

Save your money, Tucker,
I ain't worth it.

(sighs): Now, if
you don't mind...

I'm gonna get back
to being me.
