Hellcats (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 4 - Nobody Loves Me But My Mother - full transcript

Previously on Hellcats...

The university is pulling
our funding for regionals.

So we can't move
to the next level?

Well, we qualified,
so we're free to go,

Providing that
we can figure out
how to pay for

Our away uniforms,
entrance fees, travel.

My stomach's been
in knots all day.

I thought
you were all excited

About the big secular
date. What happened?

Everything you said

About what
a player dan is.



Ohh.
This is because of me.

Ow. Ow. Ow.
I'm coming down.

Dr. Derrick is
not going to clear you
with a bum wrist.

My wrist is--
is fine.

Ow.
I need your help.

Mm-hmm.
I have
to pass medical.

You told her
I was a player?

I'm sorry.
It was a dumb thing
to say.

Yeah. Now, I'm on a date
with half the squad.

What do you think
you're doing?

What'd he slip you?
Lewis, let go.

Lewis, let go
of my purse.

Lay off her, man.
Is anybody talking to you?

I can get you
oxy and vikes
for the pain,



But you're going to want
hgh as well.

Cut the healing time
in half,

And you can practice
in the meantime.

Campus security.
What are you doing?

Good morning, sir.
Happy Sunday.

I'm sorry.
Is there a policy?

Cheerleaders come
from other schools,
steal routines.

I wish I could do
what those girls do.

They're so
beautiful and blessed,
don't you think?

Yeah,
they're nice.

I was hoping
to get some footage
of the cyclones

To show at my potluck
next Sunday.

All the girls
in my church are
huge fans.

You see donny,
the one there
at the end?

he's so cute.

I would totally abstain
from having sex with him.

If you could make
a teeny, tiny exception,

It would really mean a lot
to my church group.

Go on.
Get out of here.

Thank you, sir.

God bless.

Man, their elevators
are flawless.

Look at my sister go.

I guess her head's
feeling better.

They're really fantastic.
I can't go half that high.

It's not you.
Those guys are monsters.

I wish
our bases had that.

* everybody get down,
get down *

We have
a bid video to make,

And it has
to be perfect

If we want to get
to nationals.

* then you bring it up
slow-- *

You don't
achieve perfection

By worrying about
what the competition
is doing.

You get there with sweat.
Move!

Come on, guys.
Let's go.

All right. Let's go.

Whoo!

* back off *

* back down *

* you're not the only one
on this playground *

* you back off *

* and back down

* I'm only cryin'
just to watch you drown *

* in the end, you're either
friend or foe *

* so draw a line if that's
the way you want to go *

* 'cause I'll fight
till I can fight no more *

* no more *

* in your sandbox world *

Hey, we're all going
to brunch at the pub.
You in?

I'm actually having
brunch with dan.
It's a date.

They grow up so fast.

Yeah.
It's all those hormones
they put in the fast food.

Do not eat that stuff.

Hey,
important safety tip.
Right.

Hey, uh,
good moves out there
just now. Really.

Oh, well, I think
I'm actually improving.

Shoot.
From where I'm standing,
couldn't get much better.

Oh. Well, thanks.

Hey, so,

How about after brunch,
we go check out jazzfest?

I already bought tickets.

Like--like a date?

More actually a date.

Oh. Oh. Um--

What about
you and alice?

there is
no me and alice.

Which is why
you got in a fistfight
the other night

Defending her honor?
Yeah.

Yeah. Ok,
so I care about her,
I protect her,

But we are so done
being a couple.
Really.

You know,
I'd love to,

But I'm kind of slammed
with school,

And the bid video
and the law project,
so--

Right.
No, hey, no worries.

I'll just give
the ticket to darwin.

Hey, we're cool, right?

shoot.
Dang, we're more than cool.

You're my flier.
Come on now.

Right.
Exactly.

Cool. Ok. Ok.
Ok.

Ok.

Everybody got
what they need?

Yes.
Mm-hmm.

Good,
because I have got
some big news.

Oh, god.
Don't let her
be pregnant.

Oh, stop it.

You, my friends,
are looking at
the new bar manager.

All right.

When did this happen?

Well, it hasn't
officially happened yet.

But the old manager
selma got fired
for stealing,

Which is exciting,
because victor here

Is going to hire
one of us barbacks
to replace her.

Now, he has asked
each of us to come up
with an event this week.

And whoever brings
in the most cash
gets the promotion.

Mm. So like a contest?
That's fun.

I know!
It will finally
give me a chance

To get out
from behind the bar and
do something meaningful.

You know,
I always wanted to be
an event planner.

And this could be
a real stepping stone.

What's your idea
for an event?

Open mike night.

I have been telling
victor that he needs
live entertainment here.

Sports, sports, sports
24-7 gets dull.

They never do
open mike night

Probably because
there's no stage.

Where you going
to put the singers?

We'll stick 'em
somewhere.

Hey, you should do
something.

You should play
some sting.

Oh. Oh.

My daughter's
very gifted.

Well, where are you going
to put the piano?

I mean, the drum kit?
Speakers? What--

Do you have
a sound system?
How about promotion?

Details.

As planner of the event,
aren't the details
kind of your department?

Why do you have
to be so mean to me in
front of our friends?

Oh, our friends?

I was really excited
about this.

do you want me
to help you?

Would you?

Ok.

Look,
it's not brain surgery, ok?
We can make this happen.

Um, lewis,
can you throw together
some plans

For a small stage
over there with room
for cabling underneath?

Yeah.
No problem.

You can do that?

He's majoring
in architecture.

Oh, and dan can
score us some lumber
from down at the docks.

He can get us hardware
and whatever tools we need.

I'll just make a list.

Oh,
thank you, honey.
You too, lewis.

Ok, correct me
if I'm wrong,

But I thought
you were trying to be
less involved

In your mom's life.

Well, 2 years ago,
my mom left
a good office job

To come work at the rat
so I could get
a free ride to lancer.

If she's got a shot
at a promotion,
I got to help her.

Yeah, right.

What?

You're
so transparent.

A promotion means
wanda takes on
more responsibility,

Which means
longer hours,

Which means less time for
her to spend bugging you.

That's not
why I'm doing this.

Liar.
I'm not!

Still fibbing.
Ok.

Maybe crossed my mind.
Half-truth.

Will you knock it off!

"waterloo bridge."

Did your parents
ever let you see
any movies after 1950?

I lived for
pre-hays code dvds.

And you're stalling,
mr. Movie know-it-all.

Director or star,
"waterloo bridge."

Uh...Carol lombard.

Mae clark.
That's 4. I win.

How do I know
you're not just
making that up?

I would never lie
to you.

Uh-huh.

Besides, people tell me
I'm a terrible liar,

Which isn't
such a bad thing.

Tell me a lie.

I don't like you.

And as far as
you're concerned,
I'm not a fan.

ooh.
The truth hurts.

Savannah?

Dad.

What are you
doing here?

Well, we have just come
from church.

You probably
don't remember,

But it's right up
the block.

Who's your friend?

Oh, um, this is
my boyfriend dan.

This is
my mom layne,
my dad parker,

And I think
you remember
charlotte.

Yeah. Dan patch.
It's great
to meet you all.

Hope that head's
feeling better,
charlotte.

I'm finally back
cheering with
the cyclones.

Mm-hmm.
Against my better judgment.

I've been praying
for you.

It's good to see you,
daddy.

It's good
to see you,
too, honey.

Why don't you and dan
come around for dinner
sometime this week?

Really?

Parker,
I'm sure that savannah
and her boyfriend

Have better things
to do.

No, we don't.
I mean...Do we?

Uh, nothing that beats
fine food and good company.

So it's settled.

Thanks, dad.

And mom.

I miss you all
so much.

I haven't sat down for
dinner with my family
in more than a year,

Since I left mem-kris.

Maybe my mom is
finally ready
to let me back in.

This is so good.

I'm really happy
for you, savannah.
Family's important.

Thanks. And thank you
for being so polite.

Hey, it's my pleasure.

You know,
I couldn't help but notice

You introduced me
as your boyfriend.

Oh. Is that a problem?

Ah, I just didn't expect
to hear you call me that.

It kind of threw me.

It just sort of
slipped out.

Nah,
I totally get it.

I like you, savannah.
I mean, I really do.

And I wouldn't want
to hurt you.

But we need to make sure
we're on the same page.

I'm not exclusive
with anybody.

You're seeing
other women?

I haven't since we met,

But I reserve
the right to.

And you should feel free
to do the same.

I keep my promises,

So I'm careful
to only make ones
I can keep.

You ok with that?

Um, sure. Yeah.

You'd tell me
if you weren't?

Every day,
I get thrown high
into the air

And slammed headfirst
onto a 2-inch mat

With a smile
on my face.

It's takes a lot more
than some scrawny
irish guy to hurt me.

You sure?

Yeah. We're having fun.

You know, why mess it up
with all kinds of
dumb labels?

Ok. Cool.

Scrawny? Really?

the truth hurts.

Ohh.

Allergies are killing me.

Yeah.
It's that time of year.

Mm.
Mm-hmm.

Stay out of my purse.

Come on,
you big freakin' goon!

Allergies?
Allergies, alice?

It's none of
your business.

What are you doing,
really?

Nothing yet, ok?

My wrist is healed,
but it's weak.

If I hit it wrong,
it hurts.

I always hit it wrong
with darwin.

I don't trust him
like I trust you.

I'm tentative,
and you know

How dangerous
that can be
for a flier.

I know it was stupid,

But I have to get
my spot back.

You know my dad.

I can't play football
like my brothers,

So this is
all that I can do.

This stuff is going
to screw you up.

Please.
Work with me.

Help me fly,

And I will flush
the drugs right now.

This is what gets you
a free ride
to nationals?

Is there even a person
behind the camera?

You don't have to go to
my parents' house with me.

Why don't you want me
to go?

I may not even go
myself.

I thought you were
excited to get back in
with your folks.

I am,
more than anything.

I just--I'm just not sure
they want me back.

I think they want
the old savannah.

Well, how is
the old savannah
different

From this year's model?

I go to a secular school,
I live away from home,

I live
in a co-ed situation,

I kiss boys in public.

Oh. So I'm
one of the issues?

And sometimes, you're
the entire subscription.

How long you been
keeping that one in
your back pocket?

Eons. So,
what'd you do wrong,
and how do we punish you?

Savannah's hesitant
to parade a heathen

In front of
her very proper parents
at dinner.

I just don't want them
to tell me how
to live my life,

But I don't want
to give them anything else
to disapprove of, either.

They won't understand
about you and me.

The idea of
a casual relationship

Would make
my mom's head explode.

So we don't tell them.
It'll be fine.
Parents dig me.

He does
clean up well.

That's good to know.

Here's the thing
with families.

Having a guest
in the room forces

The hostility
where it belongs--

Seething just below
the surface.

So we get through this,

You're going to be back
on speaking terms with
your folks, guaranteed.

Ok. I'll call to confirm.

Ok.
Thanks.
This means a lot.

Hey, why'd she call
your relationship casual?

That girl
wouldn't know casual
if it walked up to her

And said,
"hey, yeah, whatever."

We had
the non-exclusivity
talk.

You didn't.

It went pretty well,
considering.

It's the same
understanding I have

With rosalie...
And sasha and britt,

And the assembled
slut legions
of beale street.

Dude, I have to live
with these cheerleaders.

I swear, dan patch,

If you crush
my roomie's heart--

I'm taking a little
off the bottom.

* whoo! *

You know,
I kind of pictured it

More in the center
of that wall.

Yeah, well,
there's not enough
lumber, mom,

And you'd just have
dead space on
either side of it.

Oh.
You sure this isn't
costing me anything?

Positive, victor.
Ok.

Thrift. That's
a good quality
for a manager.

Hey, lewis,
thanks, man.
I owe you big time.

Oh, no problem.

Mmm. I don't think
promoting this online
is going to work.

Well, you hijacked
all the cheerleaders
as facebook friends.

The lady doth protest
too much.

All right,
don't flaunt your education.
It is unseemly.

This bar runs
on foot traffic.

We need
those little posters.

Oh, well, this is
the viral version
of posters.

A much wider audience.

All right.
All right. All right.

We will do it your way
as usual.

Someone
is checking us out,

And by us,
I mean you.

Do not encourage him.

Why the hell not?

He asked me out,
and I blew him off.

Oh! With that body?

If you're not interested,
I will take a swing at that.

Not if you want a stage,
you won't.

All right.
You know what, honey?

You need to open up.

I mean,
we all have dry spells,

But you haven't dated
since aaron,
and that was 2 years ago,

Which makes you,
and I say this with love,

Pathetic.

Wow. Um, thanks, mom.
Yeah. You really
bucked me up there.

Look, lewis and I
are teammates,

And I just--
I don't want to
complicate things.

Ok. That's
one of the 6 lies
that we tell ourselves.

They talk about it
all the time at
the learning annex.

All right.
You haven't been
with anyone since aaron,

Which means that
you have inherited
my trust issues.

My love life is
not about you.

Shh. I mean,
you might as well hang
a sign around your neck

That says
"I am sexually frustrated."

I mean, marti...
Are you a lesbian?

Come out to momma.

Ok, fine. You know what?
I'll just--

I'll go out with him.
Just stop talking.
Please. Wow.

Oh, my gosh.

Fefe dobson:
* there's a whole lot of
things that I will forgive *

* but I just can't take
a liar *

* I was by your side
till the very end *

* till you pushed me
in the fire *

* I tried
to believe you *

* but something is wrong *

* you won't look
in my eyes *

* tell me what's going on *

Oh, my god. Whoo.

That felt fantastic.

Are you sure it wasn't
too much on your wrist?

You were never
too much for me, lewis.

Ok. Uh-uh. See...

This is just
what I was talking about

When I agreed to help
you get more comfortable

With some of the moves
for the new bid video.

No fooling around,
all right?
Just practice.

Ok, boss.
Yeah.

Hey, let's try
that new pinwheel sequence
from the mem-kris video.

Mmm. They do grow them
fearless at your house.

Daddy disowned
all the cowards.

So I see.
all right.

* you can tell me this,
you can tell me that *

* but don't say
you don't remember *

* 'cause I know you better *

Whoa, whoa--

oh! Ho ho!

Ahh. Gosh.

* I'm crazy,
I know very well... *

Whoa. Wait. Hey.

Hey, alice.
We can't do this.
We cannot.

Why not?

Because I do not want
to get back together
again.

It's--

Just too much drama.

I know, ok?
I hate it, too.

But that doesn't mean
that we can't...

Enjoy each other's company
now and then.

* you're so guilty *

* 'cause you're stutterin' *

* oh, oh-oh *
mmm.

No strings.

* yeah, you're stutterin' *

Alice...

Alice. What--

I promise.

* oh, oh-oh, oh,
eh, eh, eh *

* oh-oh-oh, oh, oh,
yeah, you're stutterin' *

* oh, oh-oh, oh, oh,
eh, eh, eh, eh *

* oh-oh-oh, oh, oh,
yeah, you're stutterin' *

Guess you worked up
an appetite, huh?

Hmm?

You know,
helping down
at the pub.

Oh. Yeah, no. Absolutely.
How's it going down there?

Uh, good. Yeah. Uh--

I'm actually heading
back in a sec for
a last-minute check.

Um, listen,
I've been thinking
about your offer

To go out sometime...

And I'd--I'd like to.

You--go out with me?

I was in this
big relationship
a couple of years back.

It didn't end well.

I ended up with
some trust issues.

Anyways,
if I can depend on you

To toss me around
and catch me on
the first bounce,

I think we should
be able to listen to
some music together.

Brokedown cadillac
is playing hi-tone
tomorrow.

You interested?

Oh. Yeah. Absolutely.

Great. We can--we can
go out for my mom's
thing at the pub.

Great. Ok.
Great.

Great.

Great.

It's quite the spread,
layne.

Oh. Thank you.

It's really good, mom.

You must have spent
the entire day
in the kitchen.

Oh, I did.

This looks
delicious,
mrs. Monroe.

Layne is
an excellent cook.

You know,
my mama used to say

You cannot serve ham
without sweet potatoes.

It's like laughter
without mirth.

You say that, too.

Well,
it's the truth.

You know,
I think my mama said that.

I swear,
you southern ladies,

You got to start getting
some new lines.

We are all adorable.

Do you spend
much time at home, dan?

I do. Yeah.

My mom passed away
2 years ago November,

So I moved back in
with my dad to help out.

Really?
Things have been tight.

It kind of made
more sense to pay rent
to family than a stranger.

Hmm.

What church
do you go to, dan?

Or do you just brunch
on sundays?

Don't pick,
charlotte.

Thank you.

It's just
a question.

Do you have
a church, dan?

I am partial to
the sunrise gospel mass

At new bethel
on henry street,

But I haven't really settled
on any one church.

Guess I'm paul
on the road to damascus,

Just trusting
the good lord's going to
lead me where I need to go.

Well, maybe he'll lead you
to all saints with savannah
one of these sundays.

Well,
I wouldn't be surprised.

That is a great idea.

Could I have some more
of these amazing
potatoes, mrs. Monroe?

Oh, absolutely.

They remind me
of my mother's

Ahh.

He talks pretty.

That he does.

How's the tweeting
going?

Oh, decided not to bother.
Too complicated.

So how is anyone
supposed to know
this event is happening?

I made up these
little posters.

Took me all day.
I swear, you need
an owner's manual

To figure out how to use
that inkjet printer.

Which is why they give you
an owner's manual.

Mom, we agreed to this.

Well, I changed
my mind,

And I don't
appreciate being
ordered around

By my bossy boots
daughter.

You know what,
if I weren't bossy,

None of this
would have happened.

Not that it matters anyway,

Since nobody's going
to know about the event.

See, now, why are you
always so negative?

Why are you always so helpless?
I am not helpless.

I just don't care
about the details
like you do.

Which is why
I let you do things
your own way.

You let me?

Oh, wow, mom,
that is so generous

That you let me
do your work for you

With the freedom to do it
however I want.

No, and I thought
that carrying me around
for 9 months in utero

Was a sacrifice.
I am truly humbled.

Sarcasm leads
to crows feet.

Well, I am sick
of cleaning up
your messes.

I really am.

Well, then you shouldn't
have volunteered.

Which, by the way,
is what you did,

And I have witnesses.
Well, you know what,

Now I'm unvolunteering,
so good luck.

Try not to screw it up.

I don't need
your luck!

Oh. It is so good
to have you home.

It's good
to be here.

I've been doing
a lot of thinking

About the importance
of family ever since
charlotte's fall.

I have been rigid
and very unforgiving
of you, savannah,

And I am sorry.

It's ok, mom.

I know how bad you
wanted me to stay
and mem-kris.

But as you can see,
I'm doing just fine
at lancer.

Well, you are changing,
though.

Well, in a good way,
I hope.

Please.

I mean, that boy out there.

You don't like dan?

But you seemed
to really
warm up to him.

That boy is charming
and as slick as an eel,

But he's not serious,
and certainly not about you.

I think he thinks
it's a big game
or something.

What makes you
say that?

A mother knows.

Has he made you any promises?

We've only been
going out a few weeks.

I wouldn't
expect him to.

Oh, but he would
expect you

To show that very public
display of your feelings
for him at that cafe.

I don't think that is
something you would have done
if you were still here

And going
to memphis christian.

This conversation
officially sucks.

Don't you use that word
in this house!

Savannah!
Dan, we're leaving.

Savannah! Wait!

I do not want
to fight anymore.

Now we all need
to make whatever
compromises

And sacrifices
it takes to stand
together as a family.

"we", mom? Or me?

You keep a civil
tongue in your head.

When you are in this house,
you will abide by our rules,

And that includes showing
respect for the woman who
brought you into this world.

So I forgot how fun
these family dinners
could be.

Layne, we talked about
how this was--

Back off, parker,
I am handling this.

I am handling this.

Now, your father
and I have discussed
this matter,

And here is
our bottom line--

We agree
you can stay
enrolled at lancer

And you can stay
on the squad there.

And dan?

He is not for you,
savannah.

We want you
to move home,

Spend time with boys
who are like us.

Mona fellow's son noah,
he would give his
good right arm

To go out on
a date with you.

And if dating
a one-armed zealot
isn't acceptable to me?

Well, then,
I guess you have
a choice to make.

Let's go, dan.

Savannah, if you go
through that door,

There is no coming back.

That...

Doesn't change the fact
that I love you all.

Thank you
for dinner.

you ok?

I'm not sure yet.

I think.

Yes, no, I stood up
to her. It feels good.

You know, she'll probably
change her mind.

Are you ok?

Me? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

I mean, I've had
more relaxing evenings.

The potatoes were
a little undercooked.

I've never had anyone
disown their family over me.

Is that weird?
Yes.

Very.

Well, don't make
too much of it.

It really wasn't about you.

It was about me.

Getting clear on who I am.

Or who I want to be.

I mean,
we're casual, right?

Right.

You want to come in?

It's late.

I should
probably go.

Ok.

Good night.

Good night.

Crap, crap, crap.

Marti?
What's up?

Ahh. Our wifi's down again.

Oh. You just need
to reboot the connection
to the router.

Oh.
Here.

What are you
trying to do?

Get the word out
on my mom's open mike night.

I thought
you weren't helping
mom anymore.

I did say that, yes.

Thank you for pointing out
my hypocrisy.

So basically you're lewis'
flier, and your mom's base.

I'm just trying
to help her succeed.

Spoken like
a true base.

All right, you can stop
calling me base any time now.

there.

Just let it
log back in.

Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

Listen...

I know I get pissed,

But my mom does need me.

I can't just let go.

Well, if a base
can't let go,

A flier never
learns to fly.

And what if you let go
and your flier falls on her ass?

Well, then you
help her back up
and let her go again.

Only way she learns.

Good night.

Hey, uh, we need to talk.

Really?

Because I can
think of something
more fun to do.

Yeah, no, that's what
we need to talk about.

All right? I need
to make sure we're on
the same page here.

Now what happened
between us yesterday
was just a one-time thing.

Well, until next time.

That's how it works
with us, lewis.

No, not anymore, ok?
No, I'm done with "us".

And I'm done helping you train
for the bid video, too.

You and darwin
will just have to

Figure that out,
all right?

I'm moving on, alice.

You've moving on
to marti?

Yeah, see, no, that has
nothing to do with you and me.

It has everything to do
with you and me.

Ok, whatever.

Don't walk away from me!

Will you stop it? God.

I love you, lewis.

That's why I started
taking all that crap
that jake gave me.

So you wouldn't replace
me as your flier.

So we could be
together again.

Now you said you hadn't
started taking anything yet.

of course I had.

God, you're so gullible.
I still am.

Ok, but I'll stop,
I promise, if you just
keep helping me, I--

I can't do this anymore.

I said don't walk away!

Are you crazy?

My office.

Now.

Now you.

Whatever lewis said,
it's not true.

He was remarkably
tight-lipped,

Considering you just
chucked a bottle at his head.

And I noticed that
you threw with
your bad hand.

Must not be feeling
any pain, huh?

Lewis didn't give you up,
but he's a lousy liar.

I've been down
this road before.

I know how desperate
side-lined athletes can get.

I'm not touching that,
that's disgusting.

You're so talented, alice.

But you're putting
the entire team at risk.

You're doing this
because you're afraid
of losing lewis.

Am I right?

Everything would be fine
if I was just back
flying with him.

When I was your age,

I obsessed over a guy.

He was older and strong
and powerful.

Married.

And I told myself
that it was ok
to chase him,

But it wasn't.

A lot of people got hurt.

I lied to myself.

Just like you're doing
right now.

And trust me--

Move on.

I don't want know
what you're taking,

But it stops now.

And I want you
to take it easy
for 2 weeks.

What about
the bid video?

You can dance,
but no flying.

And if I don't
agree?

Then you can take
a drug test.

There's ways to fool
drug tests.

But you can't fool me.

There is not a lie
that you can think of

That I haven't already told.

This new phone
is so awesome.

It has
a front-facing camera

So I can be checking out
how I look

And people just think
I'm using my phone.

You've been really
distant lately.

What's up,
moody man?

Where are you going?

Do you want
to hit up empire?

Sorry, rosalie.

I need a rain check.

I've been calling you.

Yeah, I turned
my cell off.

Just had some
thinking to do.

Come here.

I was freaking out.

I kept thinking
you were mad,

And then I kept thinking
you were with some other girl.

Then I considered
asking marti the names
of the other girls you dated

So I could hunt them down
and kill them.

Uh-huh.
And then it occurred to me

I was thinking crazy
and insecure.

And it was my own fault.

Dan, I lied to you.

About what?

About me being ok
with being non-exclusive.

I see.

I like you so much, dan.

But if I won't change
who I am to make
my mom happy,

I won't do it
for you, either.

I'm sorry,
but it's all or nothing.

Sold.

What?

We'll be exclusive.

You better not be joking.

I mean...

I'm not even your type.
And I'm not yours.

So, hey.

We got that
in common, right?

That makes no sense.

Look, I've been
thinking about
this all day, ok?

You gave up
a lot walking out
on your parents.

And I've never
been a part of
something like that.

I'm sorry you got caught
in the middle of it.

I was afraid I might
have scared you off.

Look, savannah,
I can't promise

I'm going to be
successful
with monogamy

Because...
I've never seen it

As a viable
lifestyle choice.

But I've been blessed
with beginner's luck

On more than
one occasion,

So I remain
cautiously
optimistic.

I do like optimism.

Me, too.

* don't have time
for another game *

* I don't want-- *

Loving it!

* I just want a chance *

* one more chance *

Hi, baby!

Mom! This is amazing.

What did you do to get
all these people here
on a Wednesday night?

Well, there was
a big fraternity party
raging at the kt house.

They even got hey Monday
and everything.

So I hung
my little posters
across the street

Saying "first
drink for free",

And then I called
the cops to bust up
the party.

Ha ha! And then,

The greeks saw
my little posters

So they had
no choice but
to come here.

That is genius.

Hey, this is great!

Congratulations,
manager.

Whoo!

Whoo, mom!

Well?

Ok, fine.

I will admit it.
You didn't need me.

Oh, the sweetest 4 words
in the english language.

But you did the stage,
the sound system,

The planning.
I could not have
done this without you.

Thanks, baby.

You're welcome.

Hey, you know what,
while we're being honest,

Helping you makes me
feel really good.

It did?

Yeah, there's this
trust dynamic

Between bases and fliers--

Whoa, don't get
psychological on me.

I am half in the bag.

Now let me buy you
a scotch

Because you don't
go on until the end.

Sounds good.

I like the way
we do things.

* to rock my night away *

* I want *

I didn't bring any pills.

You keep going
through them this fast,

You're going to get yourself
into trouble.

No kidding.

Today I got so wound up
I smashed a window.

I don't think the drug
thing is for me.

I flushed what was left.

You flushed it?

Do you have any idea
how hard it is
to get that stuff?

Maybe I can
make it up to you.

I'm looking
for a rebound guy.

What about lewis?
Flushed him, too.

Do you want
to get out of here?

Sounds like a plan.

* ohh *

Hey, you.

Hey.

Hey, I promised my mom
I'd play one song,

And then I'm good to go.

We're still on
for hi-tone, right?

Actually,
I'm a little tired.

Oh. Want to just
grab a coffee instead?

Probably, it's just
best if we just..

Look, I'm just gonna
head on back to
cheertown, ok?

Sorry.

Ok, no, look.

I'm sorry.
I just made you

Feel like crap,
and that ain't right.

I'm a big girl.
If you're not into it,
you don't owe me anything.

No, I do, ok?

You know,
when I first
asked you out,

I was a free agent.

Well, I thought I was.

And then stuff with
alice got complicated.

By complicated, you mean...

Yeah.

Oh, lewis.

I keep thinking
I'm done with her,

And I keep being wrong.

I don't know
if I'm lying to myself,

But...I can't move on
to something new
before I figure out

What the hell
I'm doing here, marti.

So it's not me, it's you.

Yeah. Something
like that.

You didn't have
to tell me the truth,
you know.

We could have just
gone through with it,

And I never would have
known what went down
with you and alice.

Yeah, but that didn't
feel right either, so.

It's good to know
I can trust you.

Hello, everyone.

You know, I just want
to thank you all again

For coming out tonight.

And I have saved
the best for last.

I want you to welcome

My beautiful
and talented daughter

Marti perkins. Whoo!

Come up here, baby!

* how many of you people
