Heartbreak High (1994–1999): Season 1, Episode 22 - Episode #1.22 - full transcript

Nick?
-Yeah.

Could I have some evidence
of life, please?

Yeah. All right. Okay.
-A signed declaration will do.

Yeah. Whatever.
-Here you go.

-Lunch?
-Thanks, Stella.

Mom, are you still going
to that thing tonight?

-I don't think so.
-What thing?

It's a birthday party
some friends of mine are having.

- It's being held at a reception hall.
. Why not go?

Yeah. Go on, get out,
before you wither and die.

You keep that up, kiddo,
and I might outlive you.



Ooh, threats.

We are truly honored.

-Ooh, juice. No, just juice.
-Toast? Okay.

Nick, are you ever gonna get back
together with Jodie?

-Give me a break.
-Jodie's so cool.

It's Danielle these days, kid.
Write it on the back of your hand.

-Go to school.
-I'm out of here.

I'm never gonna make
the same mistakes you make, Nick.

Go.
-You won't have had any breakfast.

Well, after you lot have finished
discussing my private life,

you think I've got an appetite left?

Ciao.
-Mom, you think about tonight, okay?

You only live once.

Goodbye, my child.



Bye.
-Bye.

She's right. Give yourself a night out.

No. I don't like
going to these things alone.

I end up feeling like a rugby player.
You know, fending off tackles.

You don't have to go alone. Surely?

-Are you serious?
-Yeah. Of course I'm serious.

Well, that's really nice of you, George.

It is.
-I accept.

-You do?
-Yeah. Um…

Around about seven o'clock,
suit and tie, okay?

Wait.
-Great.

I don't know why I bother.
You know, you can't call it a class.

Morning.
-Morning.

It's more like
a broken hearts club.

"The course of true love
ne'er did run smooth."

It's not running at all.
It's ground to a screeching halt.

Now they're all just sitting around,
feeling really sorry for themselves,

and not one of them is concentrating on
a damn thing I'm trying to teach them.

A plague of romance.
Worse than cold sores.

Although, they're not
necessarily unconnected.

Well, it's been a pretty tough
first half, Yola.

How do you see it at the break?

Yeah, all right, Graham.
Well, let's do a head count.

We've got Danielle
partnering Nick in the, centers.

-Yes.
-Extremely unexpected match, I might add.

Yes, extremely.

Yeah, and Steve's in the sin bin

and Jodie's been dropped
to the reserve bench.

Yes. Now, what about Con?
I haven't seen him score yet this season.

-Yeah, mate. Dummy half. Yeah.
-So, how would you sum it up?

Right, okay, Graham. Um, on the night,
I'd say that football was the winner.

Yeah.
-Yes. Here, here.

Morning.
-Morning.

The little gremlins are out there,
sharpening their teeth for the day ahead.

I hope we are.

Now, I'd like to remind you that the door
to the principal's office is always open.

So don't feel you have to deal
with difficult students on your own.

Bring the problem to me,
and we'll nip it in the bud together.

Nip it. What have you got in
Deloraine's office? A Rottweiler?

Now, I wasn't having a shot
at school counseling, Yola,

so don't get oversensitive.

What makes you specially qualified to
handle difficult students all of a sudden?

Well, I have had enough experience
not to be surprised by anything, actually.

Thank you.

See you later.

Hey, Con. Come here.
What's your problem?

-I'm nervous, okay?
-You're nervous? About what?

What if Jodie's seen me giving you a lift?

-So?
-I'm her manager, man.

She's going through a hard time.

I don't want her to start thinking
that I'm taking sides.

Man, nobody has to take sides.

Okay. I don't wanna see Jodie get hurt.
All right?

And whatever's happening with me
and Danielle, I didn't plan.

- So this thing--
-It just happened.

Okay. So this thing between you
and Danielle, is it a permanent thing?

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

What? Are you intending
to get back with Jodie?

What sort of an idiot
would I look like if I did?

That's all I wanted to know,
because I'm telling you now, mate,

once those guys find out
that Jodie's available, mate,

they're gonna be crawling after her.
Crawling. All right?

And I don't need another lousy romance
to go ruining her career. Okay?

-Here we go again.
-Don't take offense or anything like that.

I'm sick and tired of this.
Listen. We're not kids, okay?

We can handle this like adults, all right?
Now, I want my mates back, man,

and I think it's about time
I did something about it.

What time did you get here this morning?

Early. I don't wanna let McBride down.

Yeah, well, mate, listen. You've got to
slow down. Otherwise, you've got no voice.

You should try lying awake all night,

thinking about the same question
over and over again.

-Why did he dump me?
-Because he's crazy. All right?

And in years to come, when he realizes
the mistake he's made, he'll suffer.

Right? And that's what you've got
to look forward to.

-I just wanna forget him, but I can't.
-Sooner or later, you will.

And when it stops hurting,
that's when I know he doesn't care.

-And that's when it really hurts.
-You know, it happens, Jodie, you know.

You'll get through it
and you'll meet someone else.

A really nice bloke, someone you should've
been with a long time ago.

-I'm not so sure.
-Well, why not? It might.

Because you can't go
straight from one relationship

into another serious relationship.

The next one is bound to be transitional.
It's not gonna last.

I'll just have to end up
dumping somebody else.

Who told you this?

If you don't read magazines,
you'll never know.

I don't know why
you put up with it, Steve.

Shut up, will you?

Look, Steve, picking a fight
isn't gonna change anything.

All right? It's not gonna get you
back together with Danielle, is it?

No, I suppose it won't, Katerina,
but it might make me feel a lot better.

Ho! Here's Nicky, the stud muffin.
How are you, sexy?

Steve.

Just let me say one thing, man.

I never meant to go
behind your back with Danielle.

Okay? As far as I'm concerned,
we're still friends.

What do you say?

Now, let's all imagine
that we're scientists in this class,

and we're looking at a planet
that can only support

so much human life at any particular time.

And there are parts of this planet
producing so much human life

that it's threatening the survival
of the species as a whole.

-What do we do about it?
-Is this about contraception, sir?

Now, hang on, Jodie. Hang on.

Think of yourselves as aliens
observing the planet Earth.

Yeah. I can spot a few aliens here,
as a matter of fact.

Don't push my patience, Steve.

All right. Now, our observations tell us
that the Western democracies,

by and large, are keeping
their populations within the limits.

That's because the dinks are greedy.
Double income, no kids.

-Same as the Lombards.
-The Lombards?

Lots of money, but a real dickhead.

All right. Now, if you lot
can't take this seriously--

I am being serious.
These are social trends, aren't they?

Yeah, okay. All right. Yep. Fair enough.

So we can see that the real problem lies
in the underdeveloped countries,

the so-called "Third World,"

where there's virtually
no control whatsoever.

-So what do we do?
-Give them rubbers, sir.

No, I'm serious. Send them rubbers.

Suppose we try educating them,
but they won't learn. What then?

-Rose.
-This is sounding cold-blooded to me, sir.

Yes. Well, we're being objective.

But you're talking about
planets and species.

Isn't this about whether a woman
wants to have a child?

Yes. Good.
And one of the questions we should ask

is whether selfish personal decisions
matter more than the good of the planet.

But you can't force people
not to have children.

All right.
Well, let's look at the economic data.

I don't think anything's more important
than the rights of a mother.

That doesn't sound very scientific, Rose.

Well, that's the way I feel, sir,
and no one has a better right than I do.

But I thought I made it perfectly clear
that we were talking objectively.

-I'm gonna have a baby.
-S--

What?

And I'm real sorry
if I'm a threat to the planet Earth.

Are you sure?
-Yep.

Are you okay, mate?
-Yeah, I'm okay.

I'm just waiting for my dad to come.

Hey, if there's anything you need to
talk about, anything, I'm here, okay?

Yeah. Thanks, Dan.

I knew he'd call my dad. I guess I'm just
waiting to get it over and done with.

-I'm not ashamed.
-Hey, listen. We're your friends, okay?

-You called her father?
-It was the responsible thing to do, Yola.

Why didn't you call me in to talk to her?

I asked her if she wanted to talk to you.
She said no.

I don't think counseling
is compulsory yet, is it?

Who's the father?

Well, she wasn't gonna tell me, was she?

-She just blurted it out in class?
-No. It was more like a public confession.

I would have expected tears, panic,
God knows what,

but she behaved like
she'd just briefed a lawyer.

- Her father is a lawyer.
. There you go.

-It's not our problem anymore, is it?
-Well, see, this is where you're wrong--

-Please. Don't start, Yola.
-Because it is our problem.

It's my problem. It's my problem
just as much as it is hers! Yeah.

-Well, my money's on the slope.
-Yeah, I think you could be right, mate.

-Shut up. You don't know it's Jack.
-Who else? I know it wasn't me.

It isn't a joke, idiot.

Poor Rose.

Come on! The girl gets herself
knocked up, she's to blame, right?

Aw, that is so typical
coming from you, Rivers!

-You're a creep, Rivers.
-Sweetie--

Get off me, you fat idiot.

Is it Jack?

-Is Jack the father of your baby?
-It doesn't matter who the father is.

It matters!

-How long since you became pregnant?
-Seven weeks.

Then it's not too late
to do something about it.

-You can't make me have an abortion.
-Not a clinic, a good hospital.

-A private hospital.
-You can't make me!

Is this my smart, clever daughter talking?

Smart enough to get herself
a good education,

a good marriage one day,
a future? And now?

I trusted you.

I'm not ashamed. I wanna have my baby.

I can't believe this is happening.
This isn't something that happens to us.

I've thought about this
ever since I knew I was pregnant, Dad.

I wanna have my baby.

Hi.

Oof. I just dropped Effie off
at a friend's place.

-Smart.
-What do you think of my dress?

… It's-- It's nice. It's beautiful.

Yeah, it's the only decent one I've got.
I hate having it dry-cleaned.

… Stella.
-Yeah?

I have to talk to you.
-I won't be a minute, George.

What?

It's about tonight.
-Yeah?

I can't dance.

If I try to dance, I'm gonna
look like an idiot. I can't go. Sorry.

You're saying you won't take me
to the party 'cause you can't dance?

-Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.
-I can show you a couple of steps.

Aw…

Really.
-Come on.

It's easy. Look.

Just put this hand here on there.

Ready?

And... one, two, three, one, two, three.

One, two, three. That's it.

Yeah.

-Is that right?
-Yes.

-Hey.
-Hi.

-How are you?
-Good.

Look, I wasn't trying to hassle you
by bringing you here or anything.

No, it's okay.

-So, how's the new school?
-Great. I love it.

I've got something to tell you, Jack.
I'm just gonna come out with it.

I'm pregnant.

No, don't laugh or say, "Are you joking?"
or anything, 'cause I'm not.

-I took care.
-I know. I don't know.

We both took care. Something went wrong.

-I'll find the money somehow.
-For an abortion?

Yeah. Look, I don't know what it'll cost,
but I'll find the money.

This one's not gonna cost anything, Jack.
I'm not gonna have an abortion.

-I wanna keep my baby.
-How can you?

What am I supposed to do?
Leave school, get a job?

I haven't asked you for anything.

Rose, I love you,
but you can't have this baby.

Go to hell, Jack.
Go back to your selective school.

Sorritos

Olé!

Okay. Jodie, good.
We're gonna take a bit of a break here.

So just hold your horses for a moment. Ta.

Mate, she's not with it tonight.
What's wrong?

You know
it's just something personal.

She-- She'll be okay. She's all right.

Con, we're a team. The manager,
the producer and the talent.

I need to know.

Look, she's just broken up with
her boyfriend. I'll talk to her, okay?

-It'd be all right. She's just warming up.
-Con...

I think you might be part of the problem.

-Me?
-I meant that as a compliment.

-She depends on you, right?
-Yeah.

I think she tries too hard
when you're in the studio.

Why don't you take a walk,
and let me work with her?

-I can't just leave her here with you.
-Psychology, Con.

Look, let me get her
through these jingles, and tomorrow,

you and me are gonna sit down
and talk about this lady's music, okay?

-Okay.
-Good.

Yeah. Jodie, um, I'll be at Ruby's.
You all right?

Yeah, okay.

Look after her, mate.

Okay, Jodie,
we're gonna go for another take.

Nothing tastes as sweet…

-Hey, why don't you come and grab a seat?
-Jodie could walk in any minute.

I told you not to worry about Jodie.
I will square things with Jodie.

Yeah, like you squared things with Steve?
Thanks.

So, where's the queen of rap?

She's working.

-She's not trying to avoid Nick, is she?
-I said she's working, okay?

'Cause if she was, well,
that would be stupid.

I mean, life goes on.

Girl meets boy, girl loses boy,
girl finds another boy.

Try telling her that?
-Does she know you're hung up on her?

-You keep your mouth shut, all right?
-But you are, aren't you?

Listen and listen good, young lady.
I'm not hung up on Jodie, okay?

It's strictly a business relationship.
You got it?

Sorry. I mean,

it's just the way you've been
hanging around her. That's all.

Yeah, well, look, I'm just trying to
protect her from herself, right?

You know, if she's still hung up on Nick,

it could ruin her career,
and I don't want that.

Yeah, sure.

-I had nowhere else to go.
-What do you mean? What happened?

I've left home.

Dad?

-Mom must have gone to the party.
-Wonder where Dad is.

-Are you sure this is cool, Nick?
-Yeah. Don't worry about it.

-You're crashing here, all right?
-I'll put a mattress down in my room.

-Thanks.
-Hey.

It's cool. Here, sit down.

-You want something to drink?
-No. I'm okay.

So, you're having a baby?

Yeah. Probably think I'm mad?

Hey, it's a big decision you're making.
Come on.

Don't I know it?

I'm scared, Nick. I'm really scared.

Don't worry about it.
I reckon you'll be a great mom.

Gee, thanks.

You know, the more I think about it,
the more I know it was meant to be.

I never knew my mom, and I don't want
my kid growing up like that,

but it feels so great to know that
a little person is growing inside of you.

She needs me. Everything I do is for her.

That's real love, Nick.
See, nothing else matters.

Well, if you need anything,
you just tell me, okay?

Yeah, thanks.

Sorritos

Olé!

All right. That last take was great.

-That's what I pay money for.
-Thanks.

I'm gonna talk to Con tomorrow
about your music.

So, if you got anything new,
now would be a good time.

I'm working on a new ballad.
I think it could be good.

Great. Maybe we can get
something happening. Except…

Except?

Well, Con. You know I like him, Jodie,
but is he the manager you need?

-That's what worries me.
-Con's working with me all the time.

And A for effort, but in this business,
you get one chance, if you're lucky.

And if you got the wrong guy
calling the shots, well…

You know what I mean?

So you think I should dump Con?

Well, look at the way
he walked out on you tonight.

I mean, where's he going?

Playing pool while you're working?
I mean, is that a manager?

Look, if you wanna get to the top,
and I know that you do,

you have to know when to put the B-team
on the transfer list, okay?

All right. Back in five.

I'll be closing up in about ten minutes,
you know, love.

Yeah, all right, Rubes.

You wouldn't rack up those balls
before you go for me, would you?

You might as well
just tell me to go home.

-How'd you go?
-He's gonna listen to my ballad tomorrow.

If he likes it, he says he'll put it down.

But you haven't even got a song yet.
All you got is music.

Yeah, well, all I need is the lyrics.

Trouble is,
when I go to write something down,

all I can think of is Nick.

If it's not enough the guy stuffs
my love life, it's my career as well.

Well, don't go jumping into one of those
transitional relationships, all right?

-I just got to get Nick out of my system.
-Write about him the, you know, um...

If you can't get him out of your head,
write about him. Write a song about him.

That sounds like movie crap, Con.

Okay. You're asking me for advice,
I'm giving you advice.

-What do you want me to say?
-Yeah.

It was a peaceful night. I just threw it
back in the water, and he just swam away.

You know, I always wondered
if that fish had a happy life.

You are crazy.
-No, I did.

-And you wanna know something else?
-What?

I had a really great time tonight.
Did you?

-Yeah. Best time I've had in ages.
-Yeah?

-I never knew I could dance that good.
-You can?

Yeah?
-Yeah.

I've created a monster.
-You better believe it.

Whoa!

You're back.
-Yeah, we're back.

Stella needed an escort,
I needed to dance.

You should be in bed.
You got school tomorrow.

I know. I just stayed up to let you know
that Rose is sleeping over tonight, okay?

-Rose? Why?
-We'll talk about it in the morning.

-And what's with the eye?
-We'll talk about that too.

-What are you doing up, young lady?
-Had a good time tonight?

-Go to bed.
-Yes, Mother.

Ooh…

- Hey. Let's have a drink.
. Yes, please.

Thanks for putting me up, Mr. Poulos.

I don't think
I could take the credit for it, Rose.

-Does your father know where you are?
-No.

Well, you're gonna have to let him know,

because I can't take the responsibility
of having you here.

I'll phone him.

Look, I'm not prying,

but just how serious is this problem
between you and your dad?

She's pregnant. Pass the toast, Nick.

Ooh…

For God's sake! It's not a disease.

I'll get my things.
-No, Rose.

No. I'm not throwing you
out into the snow.

I'm just shocked, that's all.

Probably the same as your father
was when he found out.

I wanna keep my baby, Mr. Poulos.
My father doesn't want me to have it.

That's why I've left home.

And now I'm waiting for him to change
his mind, and then I'll go back.

Well, does your father bluff easily?
-No. But then, I'm not bluffing.

Hey, Katerina.

-Tell me what you think.
-About what?

About your mom and my old man.

So she wants to teach him
how to dance. Big deal.

Do you honestly think that's what they
were doing last night? Dancing?

Nothing was going on last night,
all right? I don't wanna discuss it.

You reckon they're doing it?

Don't you ever talk
about my mom like that.

Hey, back off. I don't like the idea
any more than you do, okay?

Well, it's not true, all right?

I'm sorry about last night.

Do you realize how many times you've said,
"I'm sorry" in the past 24 hours?

Well, you know,
we both had a couple of drinks,

and I took advantage of the situation.

Don't be so pompous.
You kissed me and I kissed you back.

-That's what happened.
-Yeah.

-Well, I'm not pretending that it didn't.
-Right.

But let's not get it out of perspective.

-Right.
-I mean, it was what it was.

Yeah.

Better go to work.

No use crying when the game is over

No use creeping out the door

Everything is lost

My sun don't shine no more

-What do you think?
-It's good. It could be a smasher, mate.

-You reckon?
-Yeah.

If it's produced right,
gets the right airplay,

it'll be a five-star rocket.

Yeah. And when Nick hears it,
he'll know it's about him.

I might even dedicate it to him.
That'll really stuff him up.

-Jodie?
-Hey, I'm not being obsessive.

But maybe there is some justice.

-So, what do you say? Pool, Ruby's, now?
-Wrong. Gotta go home.

-Home?
-Yeah.

-Nick.
-Yeah.

-What's happening?
-Um, I gotta go home. Sorry.

See you later.

I did a lot of thinking at work today.

-So did I.
-Most of it was about you.

-Good afternoon.
-What are you doing home?

I live here.

-Hi.
-Hi. You're home early.

-Homework.
-Yeah, me too. Homework.

Yeah.
-Well, food anyone?

Yes, please. I'm starving.
-Thanks.

I'll do my homework in here.
You know, Rose in the room and all that.

Right.

What are they doing here?

Um, did anyone ask for your opinion,
young lady?

It's four o'clock.
You're never home at four o'clock.

-So?
-So?

This house is starting
to feel really crowded.

Yeah.

No use running
When the train is leaving...

What do you think?
-Not bad.

"Not bad," man? That's great.
It's fantastic work.

It needs work.

Naturally. Everything needs work,
but it's gonna be a smasher in the end.

We might be able
to do something with that.

Yeah, of course.

Just needs to flick a few knobs
here and there. It'll sound terrific.

Look, Con,
why don't you make yourself scarce

and let me work with Jodie?

You saw how well it worked last night.

When she didn't have anything
to prove to you, she relaxed.

Look, no offense, mate,
but that was a jingle. This is her music.

I'm her manager.
-Psychology, mate.

All right. Look, I-I want what's
best for her, all right? That's it.

Good, good. Listen to your producer.
And skip the goodbyes. Just vanish?

-All right. I'll give you a call tomorrow.
-You bet.

You're driving so hard
You don't know how it feels

Whatever I had with you
I've lost it too

-Hey, Jack.
-Hi. I heard Rose is staying here.

Yeah. Come in.

-What are you doing here?
-I want to talk.

-I've got nothing to say to you.
-Come on, Rose, please.

-You have to listen.
-I don't have to do anything you say.

-Guys, take it easy, yeah?
-I don't wanna see him here, Nick.

I just want to talk.

Is it gonna hurt you that much
just to listen, Rose?

Yeah, all right.

I've been thinking about us, Rose.
It won't work out.

I do love you, but we can't be together.
I'm not ready for that.

I'm not asking you to.

I know, but if you go ahead
and have this baby,

it's not just about you.
It'll be part of me.

If I have a child,
I want to be responsible for it.

-I can't be there for this one.
-Well, that's just too bad, Jack.

Look, I have to have some say in this.
Wouldn't you want to, Nick?

-I don't know--
-This is about my body and my child.

I don't want to interfere or anything,
but you're both my friends.

I don't wanna have to take sides
with no one, okay?

-Don't do this to me, Rose.
-This is not about you, Jack.

This is about my baby, and that's that!

What's got into her?
Having a baby would just wreck her life.

That's not what she thinks, man.

She really wants to have
that kid bad, you know.

Rose's life has been pretty tough.

I don't think any of us
can really understand

how much she really wants
to have that kid.

How's it going?

Going, going, gone.

Hey, my libido went to bed
about an hour ago.

-I think you can safely hit the hay.
-What's that supposed to mean?

Well, it means that you and Katerina
are taking a lot for granted.

I'm not talking for Katerina, okay?
Just me. I wanna know what's going on.

Well, what makes you think
anything's going on?

Okay, okay. Maybe something is,
but it's none of your business.

I live here too, you know.

Yeah,
so does everybody else these days.

If anything that matters
happens in this house,

you will be the first to know.

-Hey, I have a life too.
-Hey, that's fair enough.

Good morning, darling.

-So, you had a good time the other night?
-I did, yeah.

With George?

Are you going again?

He hasn't asked me yet.

Are you sleeping with him?

No. And knowing you,
the next question's going to be,

"Are you going to sleep with him?" Right?

This is so tacky.

Let me get this straight.

Do you object to me sleeping with anyone
or is it just George?

I don't like surprises.

I'm attracted to him,
but that doesn't mean

I'm gonna do anything about it,
and if I did,

that wouldn't be any of your business,
young lady.

Go on. Spoil everything, okay?

How did it go last night?

What would you care?
You weren't even there.

You're changing the song. What for?
It was great the way it was before.

-It's not commercial enough.
-And who says this? McBride?

You let me talk to McBride
before you make any changes, all right?

-Yeah, sure.
-That's my job, Jodie.

Stop worrying, Con.
You'll still get your 10%.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means don't start
playing manager this morning

when you couldn't even be bothered
sticking around last night.

-I don't even want you there tonight.
-Hey, man, wait a minute.

Look, you've got it all wrong.
Hey, Jodie! Jodie!

Look, apparently,
you don't work well around me.

-What?
-That's what McBride says.

-What are you talking about?
-Just watch your back, okay?

Yeah, well, maybe we both
better watch our backs.

Jay.

-What do you want, Con?
-Well, there's a problem with Jodie.

She thinks I'm letting her down,
you know, leaving the studio and that.

Jodie's not satisfied with you.
Why is that my problem?

Come on.
I was taking your advice, mate.

I think it's up to you
to straighten her out for me.

It's up to me? You're telling me what
I got to do here in my own studio?

-Yeah.
-Well, welcome to the real world, Con.

Jodie was gonna get rid
of you sooner or later.

It might as well be today.

You see, the simple facts are that
you know dick about the music industry,

you couldn't make a deal
to save your life,

and I wouldn't let you manage a bus queue.
Now get out of here.

-Go that way?
-Okay.

Nick and I had this discussion
last night.

Yes, Katerina and I had
a big heart-to-heart this morning.

Did you?
-We scared them, all right.

I couldn't believe that she was giving me
this lecture on morality.

It was like talking to my mother.

Didn't take them long to jump
to the wrong conclusion.

Well, maybe they weren't that wrong.

Well, look, the way I see it,

we're smart enough
not to rush into things.

That's right.
We're the adults, they're the kids.

-We got to remember that.
-That's it.

And, Friday night,
if you're not doing anything,

I wouldn't mind going dancing?

George.

Jodie not working tonight?
-Yeah, she's working.

Well, what are you doing here?

-Look, I'm not her manager anymore.
-What?

- She sacked me, man. You satisfied?
. Well, I'm really sorry.

Just save the sympathy for Jodie.
I don't want to hear it, all right?

Just gonna let her run things for a while,
then she'll find out sooner or later.

What do you think?

We've still got
a little bit of work to do.

Well, um,
it's getting late. I'm gonna bail.

Why don't we grab something to eat
and start again later?

I've had takeaways brought in from Vladis.

Vladis?

They do takeaway?

Well, it's not what you know… After you.

Takeaway?
This looks more like a come-on.

Don't you think we got
something to celebrate?

-Fair compromise.
-Good.

-Champagne?
-Yeah.

One for the road, stranger?
-Very funny.

Look, instead of sitting here
feeling sorry for yourself,

I'd be a bit more worried
about Jodie, if I were you.

What do I owe Jodie?

Look, he set me up,
and he made me look stupid,

and she's dumb enough to go
and believing him, not me.

Yes, well, he certainly
went to a lot of trouble

to get you out of the way, didn't he?

Son of a…

-Shouldn't we be getting back to work?
-Relax.

-What's this?
-Our new management deal.

I'll be looking after you from now on.

You're going to a lot of trouble
just to hit on me.

I'm not one
of your little teenage bozos, Jodie.

Of course I want you,
but that's up to you.

And what happens to this deal if I say no?

The deal stands, of course.

No strings, just two people enjoying
each other's company.

I think that might be just what you need
to get that ex-boyfriend out of your head.

Jodie?

Jode?

No use crying when the game is over...

-Hey. It's just an engineer.
-Wait.

-That's my song.
-It's cool.

Everything is lost
My sun don't shine no more

No use running
When the train is leaving...

-Hey, don't worry.
-Just wait, okay?

-We'll deal with it later.
-I just wanna see who it is.

-Hey, come on. What's wrong?
-Just get off me.

-Get off me.
-Come on.

Get off me!

Nice doing business with you.

No use crying when the game is over
No use creeping out the door

Everything is lost
My sun don't shine no more

Con, you belong in a padded cell.

-I can't believe this.
-Where's McBride?

-He's taking aspirin.
-What? He's got a headache?

Depends where you'd say his brain is.

What do you think you're doing,
murdering my song?

What kind of manager are you?

I think I just got re-hired.

-Are you still gonna go through with it?
-Yes.

Look, I can't say I see much sense in it,
but I admire your commitment.

You don't have to see sense in it.
This is my decision.

-And I respect that.
-That's not what you said before.

Okay. So, I got scared, all right?
I panicked.

But I wanna go through this with you.

-You really mean that, don't you?
-I'm not a coward.

No, but you're not in love with me either.

Look, Jack, you've been honest
with me before,

so I should be honest with you.

I don't feel the same way anymore either.

So it'd be crazy for us
to keep going, wouldn't it?

I can still stand by you.

-No, you can't.
-Don't be stubborn.

Look, Jack, I'm gambling here.

I'm gambling that my father
loves me enough to accept this child.

And if my father accepts it,
then my family will.

And if I have my family there,
then I can go back to school,

get an education, get a career.

What if your dad doesn't give in?

I don't know.
I'm trying not to think about that.

I'm gonna do what you want.
If you need me, I'll be there for you.

-So you talked to Rose?
-Yeah, I did.

You made her see sense?

Frank, Rose knows how tough
it's gonna be as a single mother.

To have a good future
means to have a good career,

and to do that,
she has to finish her education.

No one is gonna talk her out of that,

but no one is gonna talk her out of
having a child. Not you and not me.

We'll see about that.

Yeah, well, right now,
she's very alone and unhappy.

Is that what you want? I don't think so.

I called you in here
because I want you to take her back.

You're her father. You should support her.
If you don't, then I will.

And look, forget about
what the Lebanese community thinks,

because it's about time they realize that
this happens to Lebanese girls too.

Come on, Frank.
Rose needs you now more than ever.

He wasn't just after your body, man.

He wanted to get his hands
on your music too.

Yeah, and I would've signed it too,
I'm so stupid.

It's because you're so vulnerable.

He said I could forget about Nick
if I went with him. What a load of crap.

Yeah, well, I'm here now.

The next time we do it,
we do it right, okay?

-You're a wally.
-I love you, you know that?

I love your work. I think you're great.

You're fantastic.
-Thanks, man.

[door opens

I'll be in the staff room.

Come home, Rose.

On my terms, Dad.

Come home.

Whatever I had with you

I've lost it too

Whatever I had with you

I've lost it too

Something's got my sense of humor

Can't get my hands back on the wheel

You're driving so hard
You don't know how it feels

Whatever I had with you

I've lost it too

Whatever I had with you

I've lost it too
