Hellcats (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 7 - The Match Game - full transcript

You sure school's
worth all this?

I'm going to graduate,
pass the bar up north,

And work in a d.A.'s office
where everybody talks

In flat yankee vowels.

You're applying
for a scholarship?

I have one now for
cheerleading. Cheerleading?

Oh.
Hello, marti.

Welcome
to cheertown.

I need 2 prelaw students
to help me.

A man been sentenced to life
in prison for a minor burglary.

If there's even the slightest
chance that he's innocent--



I took this case
to get a law overturned.

If you pass the bar
one day,

You take up his cause.
Why wait till then?

Vanessa, I'm sure you remember
the famous coach red raymond.

So we're clear,
I have a boyfriend.

Things change.

That boy is charming,

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

This conversation
officially sucks.

You go through that door,
there is no comin' back.

I just found out
the bid video results.

Of the 15 slots,
we placed 16th.

How do we pay for sectionals,
let alone nationals?

That's a fantastic question.



I owe you one.
Thanks for the save.

Well, you're my new flier.

Gotta look out
for each other.

Woman: Ever since
she was a little girl,

Jemma linkletter dreamt
of being a cheerleader.

She dedicated her life
to the sport,

Working each day
to achieve her dream,

And that dream
became a reality

The day jemma joined the western
tennessee state mustangs.

That is, until disaster struck.

Court announcer:
Everyone stay seated.

Paramedic:
Keep her still.

Woman:
Don't try to talk.

Court announcer: She's
cheering from her stretcher.

What a brave
little cheerleader.

Hi. My name is
jemma linkletter,

And cheerleading
is still my life.

My dream to win a bid for
nationals will never die,

♪ make me believe ♪

♪ that you are with me ♪

♪ can I believe in you? ♪

♪ can I believe in you? ♪

♪ well, you came back
to me at last... ♪

Alice: What a bunch
of sentimental crap.

Those are the jokers
that beat us?

Nothin' like a kid
in a wheelchair

To stir up
cheap sentiment.

Savannah: Their stunting
is terrible.

No, wait. Look. Here's where
she pops the wheelie.

wow. Yeah. Can you
turn that off, please?

I can't take any more.
Really.

Oh, no. I had
a broken wrist.

I had a broken wrist.

That could have been all of you
pushing me in that wheelchair.

We would never have
been that cynical.

Ok. Ok, let's focus,
all right?

Now that we've lost our
free ride to nationals,

We have to take
the scenic route.

The sectionals
are in louisville

In 3 weeks.
If we're going,

We have to get there
on our own dime,

Which means we need
$5,000, and we need ideas.

Well, hey, my gymnastics
coach held a back-flip-a-thon

Whenever we needed
new team leotards.

People would pledge
a quarter per back flip.

Well, do the math.

$5,000 means
20,000 back flips.

I don't know.

Wait up. Y'all ever seen

A date auction before?
What's that?

Oh, it's
a great idea.

Each of us plans
her own date,

And then we go out
with the highest bidder.

I'm tellin' you, the football
team has one every year.

Makes a ton of money.

Really?
Yeah.

Well, then let's
get busy, ok?

Let's get that.
Yeah.

All: Hellcats!

Hey, you goin' to that place
on union to get fliers made up?

Yep. They love us,
and we

Get stuff
printed super cheap.

All right,
catch you later.

Hey! Whoa!

Give that back to me.

Well, you gotta
tell me, already.

Tell you what?

All the sneaking out
at all hours,

The texting,
the smiling.

There's a guy,
isn't there?

You're spying on me?

Poor form, roomie.

I see you deleting.
No, you don't.

Yeah. You were just
deleting right--

No, I was not.
Yeah, you were.

You're gonna tell me.
No, I won't.

I will find out.

I mean, come on. The
curiosity is killing me.

Oh, god.

It's your little
law class friend.

I'm right,
aren't I?

What, morgan? Ugh. Please.

I'm actually going
out of my way to avoid him.

Why? He's cute.

Yeah, well, he could also
be big trouble for me.

What kind of trouble?

Remember that law case
I've been working on

For the 3-strikes project?
Yeah.

Well, I think the guy they've
got behind bars is innocent.

I've been trying
to prove it.

If my law professor
finds out I've been going rogue,

I'll get bounced
from the class.

I don't trust morgan
to not bust me.

Oh. It's like
"romancing the stone."

You and morgan
hate each other

Right up to the moment
where he saves you

From the crocodile
and your lips meet.

Then it's nothin'
but fireworks.

You're a freak.

Ok, nothing happens in the
squad that I don't know about.

There is no guy.

Bedspreads
are hideous.

They're coverlets.

Who let you in here?

You going somewhere?

Thinking of
dropping by the prison?

Why would you say that?

Julian needed
another signature

From travis guthrie
and sent me back there.

I saw your name on the
sign-in sheet 3 times,

And I want to know why
you went back on your own.

Is the impervious
morgan pepper worried

A mere cheerleader will steal
his thunder in class?

It would be a huge mistake
to try to one-up me.

I've been bringing
travis a guitar to play

so he can feel human again.

Get your face
out of my room.

What?
Huh? Yeah.

There we go.

Hey, can I get an opinion
on my date for the auction?

Mm-hmm.

All right.

I was thinking
of offering

A personal training
session followed by

Couples massage
at a spa.

That somethin' the
ladies would like?

Sign me up.
Yeah, you wish.

I think it's perfect.
I'm gonna set up

An after-hours picnic at
the revival movie theater.

My dad knows the owner.

How barfably
adorable.

You've got
something better?

We're going to the
adams hotel for drinks

And then up to a suite
for a slumber party.

Ooh.

But what if someone else
ends up buying your date?

You're just gonna take
him to a hotel room?

Depends on how much they bid.

If you expect your boyfriend
to bid on you,

You ought to think about
spicing up your date plan.

Guys can only go
on so many picnics

Before they want
breakfast in bed.

Ha ha! Like you ever had a
guy stick around for breakfast.

I want you to know
that you shouldn't

Feel obligated to buy
my date at the auction.

I know money is tight,

Especially now that your
family is saving for a wedding.

You're sweet.

You get pie.

And I'm still
gonna bid for you.

My brother can pay
for his own mistake.

You're not happy
he's engaged?

Sure, if it works out.

See, he's one of those guys
who feels like

Life is just a timeline of
major events to be ticked off.

He's known this girl
long enough,

And marriage is
the thing that happens next,

So it's happening.

I don't see what's
so wrong with that.

It's good to make plans
for the future.

Yeah, if you have no interest in
wherever else life can take you.

Just put those blinders on
and stare at the road.

Forget about the possibility
of a--a detour

That could take you
to some really amazing,

unexpected destination.

So does that mean
you don't see yourself

getting married someday?

Who knows? I mean,
if it happens, it happens.

I'm certainly not
gonna stress about it now.

Cool.

Yeah,
I totally get it.

But you're open
to it, right?

Is it an issue?

Well, growing up,
I always figured

I'd wait until I was
married to have sex.

Oh.

Heh. Don't look
all disappointed.

That was back when I
was living at home

And looked at life
a lot differently.

I can maybe see
being with a guy,

The right guy,

But I have to at least know
that there's marriage ahead.

I mean,
down the road.

You know,
at some point.

If it all worked out,
I mean.

That's fine.

What part of it is fine?

Heh heh.

Heh. Sometimes
it's hard to tell

What you're thinking.

Marriage, sex, the future,

It's all fine.

Let's just take
one step at a time,

Not worry so much.

Yeah?

You know
what worries me?

Not knowing
there's a plan.

Even if we had a plan,

I'd change it,

Just to keep life interesting.

I bet you think it's cute
when you say things like that.

Oh, it is.

Well, it's not.

It is.

♪ you gave me somethin'
better to believe in ♪

♪ with leaner times
threatenin' the worst ♪

♪ that sky was fallin'... ♪

Oh.

♪ till you walked in
and shined like a star ♪

Ho.

♪ every day with you... ♪

That was close.

No closer
than last night

When your mom
almost caught us.

Mmm.

Don't you like
the thrill of it?

Hmm? Right?

And the element of danger?

You have to admit
it's kind of fun.

Eh, yeah, at first.

But, you know,
this sneakin' around,

You know it can't
last forever, right?

Uh, right?

What? Is it so bad?

I mean, living in cheertown
is like living in a terrarium.

I don't like all the bobbleheads

knowing everything
about my life.

Resistance is futile.

Come on. Didn't you learn
anything being with alice?

From what people say,

It's like you two had
your own reality show.

Ah, a different
situation altogether.

If that was different,
then...

Let's keep
our thing different.

Mmm.

Oh, damn.

Come on. Let's get out of here
before vanessa sees us.

Welcome,
ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you so much
for coming tonight.

It is my pleasure to introduce
to you your lancer hellcats

And tell you all about
the fabulous dates

that we have planned.

Each date
will start at $50,

But, honey, come on.

We all agree that these
talented hellcats

Are worth more
than that.

Am I right?

Now, we are trying
to raise $5,000,

So we're hoping that
you'll bid generously

And have a great time
doin' it.

So let the hellcats
date auction begin.

First up, we have frankie.

Yeah, she wants to take
y'all on a riverboat

down the mississippi.

Go, half pint.

And now we have darwin.

Ain't he cute?

He's so cute.

What?

Here comes good money.

Yep, double the trouble,

Louise and jen,

Work it out, girls.

Guaranteed good time
with these two.

Oh, here's lewis, y'all.

Yep, and he wants
to work your body.

He's offering a free
personal training

Followed by a couples
massage at a local spa.

We got $50 in the front.
Can I get 75?

75 in the back. Thank you.

Can I get a 125?

Oh, look at you, lewis.

You are popular tonight.

Can I get a 200?

200 in the back.

How 'bout 225?

200 goin' once, goin' twice,

And sold to number 62
in the back.

Hey, it's all good.

Well, that's new.
Heh heh.

I always thought
silver foxes were hot.

Right. At least
he has good taste.

Vanessa: Ok,
here we have alice,

And she wants to take
someone for a drink

At the intimate martini
lounge at the adams hotel.

Can you handle it?

Ok, we got $50 from lancer
quarterback jake harrow.

Thank you. How 'bout 75?

Can I get a 75?
Aw, come on.

This talented, amazing
co-captain of the hellcats

Is a steal at 75.

Hey, nobody's gonna bid against

the lancer's
starting quarterback.

Do something.

Oh, no. You're right.

Ok. We got a bid.
It's, uh...

$100.

$100. Thank you.

$300.

Sold for $300

To number 5.

I'm worth twice as much
as that, and he knows it.

I let him off easy.

Oh, listen up, y'all.

Miss marti perkins.

Cheerleader,
prelaw student.

Body and brains.
What you know about that?

Work it out.

We have number 38
and number 40.

Ok, number 6.

Confirmed.

What?

Are you serious?

And finally we have captain
extraordinaire savannah monroe.

Shake your tail feather,
girl.

Sassy little thing.

And we have our first bid.

And our second.

We're at 100.

150.

200.

$500.

Oh, my goodness. $500

To the gentleman
over here in the front.

Can I get a 525?

Ok. Well,
there we have it.

Savannah's date
goes for $500

To number 18. Please see
mr. Gilmartin at the front.

Well, this concludes
our date auction.

Thank you so much
for comin' out tonight.

Any idea what that
was all about?

That's noah.

Wait. As in ex-boyfriend
noah? Mm-hmm.

I didn't know he was
made of money like that.

He's not made of money.

I have a feeling
the unsinkable layne monroe

sponsored his appearance.

Why would
your mom do that?

I plan to ask her.

Well, you may be goin'
on a date with noah,

But you are
comin' home with me.

Absolutely.

We're still
almost $1,000 short.

Excuse me. Uh,
excuse me, coach lodge.

Um, I have been contacted
by a proxy bidder

Who would like to put in
one final bid.

He is willing to spend
$825 on a date.

But the-- all the hellcats
have dates already.

Yes. Well, this bidder
is hoping to buy a date

With ar hellcat.

He wants a date with you,
coach lodge.

who's the bidder?

He insists
on remaining anonymous.

Well, you can
give me a hint, right?

I mean, is it
someone I know?

Someone in the athletic
department, perhaps?

It's not red raymond,
is it?

And spoil all the fun?

Here are the details
of your date,

And if the hellcats
need that money,

All you have to do
is show up.

Well, red is
on a recruiting trip,

But I checked
his schedule,

And he's due back
tonight.

Come on, vanessa. Anyone
could have bid on you.

And listen.
Even if it was red,

The hellcats
need you, right?

Be right there!

Sorry, babe, but, uh, dr.
Herbert's talk is starting.

You go on the date.

I trust you.

And I'll see you as soon
as I'm back from atlanta.

I love you.

Ok.

Love you, too, derrick.

Another one, coach?

Yes. Something, uh,
stronger this time.

What's wrong?
Date auction didn't go well?

Yeah. We came up
a little short.

That surprises me with all
those pretty girls on display

And, oh, that lewis. Ho.

Not as surprising as a
last-minute anonymous bid

For the exact amount
that we needed.

Well, then what are you
doin' in here boohooin'?

That sounds like
great news.

Yeah, except that the bid
was for a date with me,

And I think the
bidder was red raymond.

It's for the hellcats, right?

Mm-hmm.

Your boyfriend'll understand.

Yeah, he was a little
too understanding.

I was hoping he'd be at
least a little outraged,

I mean,
even if just for show.

Well, that sounds like
a get out of jail free card.

My advice,
get all gussied up,

Go out for
a fabulous meal,

But don't touch it.

If you don't touch it,
it don't count.

Heh.

Well, that's excellent
advice, wanda,

Very helpful.

Comes with bein' a mom.

A pleasure
as always, ladies.

Nicely done.

Now, you all have
your handout,

Because we have
a lot of reading to do,

Savannah.
What brings you here?

Wanna do this
in front of them?

So, annie, we are
at your house next week.

Thank you again,
everybody.

Do drive carefully.

Bye-bye, now.

Noah campbell showed up

At the hellcats
date auction last night.

Know anything about it?

Noah's a very nice boy.
You should be flattered.

No. No, I'm confused, mom.

Ok, the last time
I was here, you didn't want

Anything more to do with me,

and now you're butting right
back into my life.

Things are said in anger
that we don't really mean.

No matter what, I will
never give up on you.

This isn't about me.

It's about your reputation
in the church.

If your rogue
daughter reunites

with her upstanding
ex-boyfriend,

The minister's son, no less,

Then maybe your
bible study group

will stop whispering
behind your back.

My friends and I
talk very openly

About the pain your
absence causes this family.

Well, your plan
isn't going to work,

But I'm still
showing up on the date.

The hellcats appreciate
your generous donation.

You be kind to noah.

You've already
broken his heart once.

Good to know you care so much
about everyone else but me.

No. No, um,
d-don't apologize.

I appreciate
you trying to help.

Thanks.

Hey.

Something wrong?

I just got off with
the last homeless shelter

Left to call that might have
information

on travis' ex-girlfriend.

Nothing.

Ah, you're gonna
find her.

Mmm.

Girl: Marti.

Oh.

Um, hey, I was just
telling lewis

How excited I am
about sectionals.

Yeah. Yay.
Yay.

Whatever.

Savannah wants you
in the common room.

That would have been
a disaster.

Is there more goin' on here
than you're tellin' me?

Of course not.

I'm just saying
it's still early,

And I think
we should find out

If this really works before
we let everyone in on it.

And once it becomes part
of the group, it's...

Gets a lot harder
to back out. Right.

It's just the second we
talk about us out loud,

The relationship
becomes real.

Well, hey, if you're
gettin' cold feet,

Now's the time
to let me know.

Hmm?

No harm, no foul.

So what do you wanna do?

Savannah: Marti!

Marti!

Let me get back
to you on that.

Marti!

Which one?

What are you doing?

Getting ready
for my date.

Ok, but what are you
really doing?

Teaching my mother
a lesson.

I want noah to be
so shocked

That he runs home to
his preacher daddy

And tells him what
a bad girl I am now.

Why would you want that?

Am I missing something?

Gossip that good
makes it through

The church grapevine
in no time.

My mother is gonna
be mortified.

Ok, have you
thought this through?

I think
everything through.

Look, if you still have hope of
reconnecting with your family,

This is only going
to push you farther apart.

Trust me. I've tried
everything with wanda,

And hostility
doesn't heal anything.

Look, I-it's not too late.

I can stall him
if you wanna go change.

Hey.
Hi.

Come in.

Noah.

How the hell
are you?

So...

This is nice,

Romantic.

If you think
I was serious

When I planned a picnic
at a movie theater,

It goes to show how little
you know me anymore.

Look at this movie.

Totally ironic.

Yeah.

Basically I'm really
into irony these days.

Romantic dates like this
are ridiculous,

And only sad sacks
fall for them. Tcch.

Should we have another?

Uh, bring one more
for the lady.

Look, morgan,

I--I appreciate
the chivalry and all,

But can we
just get to it?

I know you brought me here
to talk about travis.

You think it's all work,
work, work with me.

Is it so crazy that I
might have feelings for you?

Are you serious?

Ok.
Please.

Don't flatter
yourself.

You're right on
one count, though.

Thanks. Figured
I'd get you drunk,

Get you talking.

If you found
a way to be a hero

In our law clinic, I
want you to cut me in.

Share the wealth.

One ambitious person
to another.

I can help you, marti.

I'm a hard worker...
Mm-hmm.

I'm great with people...

and you'd have access

To my brilliant
legal mind.

Even if I tell you,
you won't be interested.

You've made it clear you don't
care if travis is innocent.

You found something that
proves his innocence?

Please. I swear
I won't tell julian.

What if I can actually
help you help travis?

Wouldn't that be
worth the risk?

What do you know?

I know nothing.

That's the problem.

I've spent
the last few weeks

Searching everywhere
for this jane loomis.

I remember her
from the deposition.

That's right.

They were living together
on the streets

When he was arrested,
and she was his alibi.

By the time the trial
rolled around,

She'd changed her story.

So you got nothin'.

Homeless people are hard
to keep track of.

Looks like you spent
$250 on nothin'. Mm.

Ehh. It was an old check

For an account that
I closed 2 years ago.

It'll bounce
like a superball.

I'm sorry.
You wrote a bad check?

Yeah.

Well, I'm not gonna pay
to watch you eat.

These drinks are
most definitely on you, then.

Thanks, buddy.

Want some?

It's straight tequila.

Heh. No, none for me.
Thanks.

Don't let me stop you.

Drink up.

Come on, boots.

I know this is
all an act.

No, it's not.

It's the new me.

What gave me away?

There's a reason why you
were always cast as a tree

In the Sunday school
theater productions.

You're not
a good actor.

You always told me
I was great.

I liked you,

Even way back then.

Do you know how much
bending is involved

While playing
a weeping willow?

I can imagine.

Look, I know my mother
was behind this date.

The dress, the alcohol,

I did it to get back
at her.

Seriously?

We've been fighting for
months about my life at lancer,

And I know she sent
you to that date auction

Hoping you'd
talk sense into me.

Look, you can
think of layne

As an evil villainess
all you want,

But when she came to me,

All I saw
was a worried mom.

Well, she doesn't
need to worry.

I've met
great new people,

And I've done things
in my life

That have totally
expanded the way I think.

But because I'm outside
of her bubble of control,

Because I'm free,

She rejects it all.

What's it like?

Being so unrestricted.

Sometimes I don't know
what I'm doing,

And I feel,
like, a step behind,

Like people are laughing at me
because I don't get the joke.

It can be
a big, scary mess.

But I do it.

There's the honesty
I was waiting for.

It's weird.

When I sit next to you,

I feel like
I could say anything,

'cause you already know
everything about me.

We do go back
a long ways.

Well,
here's to old friends.

Heh.

it's you?!

You're my date?

Heh.

Surprise.

Heh heh.

But how?

Why didn't you--

Early flight home.
And listen,

I knew that if I didn't
keep my identity a secret,

That you would never allow me

to spend this kind of money
on the hellcats.

You're right
about that.

So it was an easy decision,
vanessa.

My promotion may take me away
from you a little bit more,

But it also came with
a salary bump,

And I can't think of anything
better to spend the money on.

Hmm. Not even that
flat screen at gildays?

Ok, how did you know
I had my eye on that?

Baby, I have to wipe
the drool off your face

Every time
we pass that window.

Yeah. Well,
flat screens come and go,

But I plan on staring
at you for years.

Oh, my god.

Look at me.
I'm a mess.

I'm so embarrassed.

Yeah, good thing
you didn't show up

To our first date
dressed like this.

Well, you know, in
protesting red's date,

I ran 6 miles
without showering,

So, yeah,
I must smell awful.

You...

Actually did work up
a serious funk, vanessa. Wow.

Now, do you really think

Red raymond could pull off
something as cool as this?

Not in a million years.

ohh.

Heh.

I thought tonight
was gonna be awful,

But it turned out
to be really nice.

Thanks, I think.

You know what I mean.

Yeah, it has been
really nice.

Could be again.

Noah, this isn't
a real date.

What about
the connection we have?

We've always had?

Don't tell me
you don't still feel it.

I have a boyfriend now.

Yeah, I know.

Bad-boy type, right?

All exciting. Has game.

You know what
we squares have?

What?

Stability.

If we got
back together,

I see us dating
for about a year or so.

When we finish school,
we'd get engaged.

A year to plan the wedding,

because we both
wanna do it right.

Then kids.

I wanna grow old
with you, boots.

I don't know
what to say to that.

You don't have to say
anything right now.

You know exactly
where you can find me.

So you drag me out of bed on
a Sunday morning... Mm-hmm.

Take me to a strange
part of town... Yep.

And you won't tell me
what we're doing? No.

Wow. Where's your white panel
van with the onboard manacles?

Ehh. You should think
before you crack wise.

Huh.
Ta-da.

Pretty nice neighborhood

For someone that was
homeless for so long.

Jane loomis?

Mm-hmm.

How'd you
find her?

I went down
to social services

With a tray of lattes
and pumpkin muffins,

Walked out with a forwarding
address here in memphis.

That worked?

Honestly, I'm as
surprised as you are.

Yes?

Good morning, ms. Loomis.

My name is
morgan pepper.

This is marti perkins. Hi.

We're students at
lancer university. Oh.

We were hoping you
could help us out

With a project
we're working on.

Why, of course. I, uh...

Saw some hard times
over the years,

And lancer students
helped me out a lot.

Well, we'd like
to talk to you

About your ex-boyfriend,
travis guthrie.

Our law clinic is looking
into his robbery conviction,

And we found
some discrepancies

In witness reports
surrounding his arrest.

I already
told the police

And the prosecutor's
office everything I know

About travis' case,
so...

What about his alibi?
He said that--

I really have
nothing more to add.

Thank you.

Ok. That was suspicious.

We need to look
into jane,

Her background,
this house.

Are you saying you want me
in on this with you?

Only if you pay every penny

of that bad check
back to the hellcats.

Heh. That's a nonstarter.

I'll pay you 10 cents
on the dollar.

What? No way.
I'll maybe let you get away

With 75 cents on the
dollar, and that's it.

50 cents on the dollar, and
you pay the bar tab last night.

I only had
a smart drink.

And it didn't work.

Heh.
I outsmarted you.

60 cents.
55.

59. You never step foot
in my dorm again.

You survived your
date last night?

Noah wants
to get back together.

Yeah, I bet.

One look at those perky freddies
all pushed up like that, and--

Marti, this is serious.

Oh. It is? Why?

You're not
considering it, are you?

When he and I were dating,
everything was simple.

He knew what he wanted
his life to look like,

And I thought I wanted
the same things.

And you're thinking you
might want something else now.

Thinking, stressing,
you name it.

My whole life,
I've been told

That if I didn't
find a boy,

Get married, save myself
for my wedding night,

Have kids right away,
blah blah blah blah blah,

It would change the way
that god looked at me.

It would make me
a bad person.

And noah reminds you of how easy
all those rules make everything.

Exactly.

I've been putting
so much pressure on myself

Being the free spirit
that dan wants

That the thought of knowing what
to expect with noah is tempting.

New relationships
are always scary.

Heh.

Morgan.

I'm talking
about lewis.

You guys are together?

At the moment,
I'm--I'm not sure.

No way. I can't believe
you haven't told me.

I've wanted
to keep things quiet

Until we know where the
relationship is going.

Heh. I totally knew
he had the hots for you.

Hey, will you stop making
such a big deal about it?

Ok, ok.

So what's the problem?

Lewis...

I don't know.

He's got a problem with
keeping us a secret.

I mean, do we
need to go around

Flaunting our
relationship to everyone?

That's not normal.

Wow.

You're really
scared of love.

Hey, who said anything
about love?

I am nowhere near love.

See?

Scared.

Yeah, well,
what about you?

I'm scared of the unknown,

And that's dan.

We need
to not be scared.

I don't think
it works that way.

Change is scary.

Anything different
is scary.

Going to kindergarten
for the first time

And graduating high school,
leaving home--

All those things terrified me
when I did 'em.

But you did them.

Yeah. You have to.

Otherwise, you get stuck
in the same spot forever.

And that would be scary.

You can handle this.

We can handle this.

Lewis.

Charlotte?

And I was counting on
a peaceful afternoon.

I'm not here
to fight, mom.

I just want to talk.

I've heard that before.

Mom, please.

come on.

So I went on my date
with noah last night.

And was it as awful
as you thought it would be?

No.

Do you have any idea
how hard it has been

For me to leave
my old life behind?

How would I know that,
savannah?

Every time
I try to talk to you,

You have such walls up
around your choices.

Fine.

5 minutes, no wall.

What were you hoping to get out
of setting me and noah up again?

Noah has always been
a very popular, inquisitive boy

Who also understands
that god has a plan for him,

And he is gonna follow it
step by step.

And if I can't be that,

At least I could be
with someone like that.

Well, when you
put it that way, yes.

I think it
would be good for you

To show you you can be
whomever you wanna be

and still walk with god.

Right. Footprints in
the sand and all that.

You said no wall.

I'm sorry.

God simply wants us
to have joyful, carefree lives,

And he gives us a very clear
path to happiness.

But I am happy, mom.

My path might be more winding
than you would choose for me,

And, yes,
it's scary sometimes,

But no matter what,

I truly believe I'm gonna end
up in the perfect place for me.

Ok.

So when you
go down that road

And if you end up
getting lost,

Just promise me
you'll come home.

Come here, baby.

Ohh.

Give me a hand
with this.

Lewis: Exhausting.

Yeah. It was
a long night.

"long night."

That's fantastic,
really.

Hey.

So, um, yeah,
lewis and I are dating.

Oh.

That was anticlimactic.

Don't get too attached,
marti.

He's really not
relationship material.

Yeah, well,
neither am I,

So it's gonna
be awesome.

Uh-huh.

Yes, it is.

♪ I'm feelin' lucky ♪

♪ I'm seein'
every possibility... ♪

Well, hello there.

I'm sorry I didn't call
after the date with noah.

I needed time
to think.

Should I be worried?

Not at all.

Well, then, are you ready for
the makeup date of your dreams?

Lady's choice, anything
you want, anywhere you want.

I'm sure you got
somethin' specific in mind.

How 'bout we just point
the car down the road

And see
where we end up?
