Hellcats (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 8 - Back of a Car - full transcript

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.

Do you have a thing for dan?
What?

Because if you do,
I'll back off. No.

I don't wanna create drama
within the squad.

Dan and I are just buds.

I'm on a date
with half the squad.



Look, the girl was
home-schooled, ok?

Her parents raised her
like veal.

The group thing is how her
church used to handle dating.

Growing up, I always
figured I'd wait

Until I was married
to have sex.

Marriage, sex--

Let's just take
one step at a time,

Not worry so much.

I need 2 prelaw students
to help me.

You're in. My law clinic
starts Monday.

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

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

You found something that
proves his innocence?

I'm searching everywhere
for this jane loomis.



Ta-da.

We'd like
to talk to you

About your ex-boyfriend,
travis guthrie.

Our law clinic is looking
into his robbery conviction.

I really have
nothing more to add.

Thank you.

Vanessa: 5, 6, 7, 8.

1, 2...

4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

All right.

Ok.

The go-go's: # see the people

Vanessa: Ok, everybody,
let's do it again.

Hey. I'm here.

Oh, good. You can
help me with these.

And 2...

They're working up a
go-go's routine? Really?

We're setting up
for the spirit party.

Oh, yeah, that. I didn't
realize it was coming up so soon.

Haven't you been reading
the daily cheertown bulletin?

I'm proud to say I didn't know
we had one. Still, why go-go's?

It's the 25th anniversary of the
founding of the hellcats in 1985,

So this year has got
an eighties theme.

I like that there's a sense of
history in the bobblehead community.

Iteally hard to make that
nickname sound complimentary.

Oh, I kid the bobblehead.

I'm sure you think
you're being playful.

No, I just like the word.
"bobblehead."

Alice, why are you
all dressed up?

Oh, something came up.

I can't stay.

But you promised
to help.

"fotogem" is doing
a style piece

On the private lives of
lancer football stars.

Wow. Who said
journalism is dead?

It's a p.R. Offensive from
the athletic department.

They're just trying to make people
forget about that pay-for-play scandal.

I couldn't care less.

All I know is I am getting my
picture in a glossy magazine.

Never thought I'd see you
as a football wife.

Heh. I am not
anyone's wife.

But it's
a great magazine.

I'm lookin' hot.

Jake is gonna look dashing,
and after the photo shoot,

We'll go have
nasty, acrobatic sex

In positions that
you can't even draw.

Oh, pretty much anyone can
draw a stick figure, so...

God...

Who let him in here?

I did.

I'm just pitchin' in,
aidin' the cause,

Helpin' the angels
of spirit

Make the world
a cheerier place.

God. Savannah, does he
talk that much during sex?

I wouldn't know.

Right. Of course
you wouldn't.

Don't wait up, kids.

What does that mean,
"of course I wouldn't"?

Heh heh.

I don't like
how she's gettin'

Ever since she
hooked up with jake.

Anybody ever tell you
you think about jake too much?

Mmm. Ooh.

Uh, jake who?

That's great, guys.

Smile. Big smiles.

2 more shots.

Great. Thank you.

We'll do singles
over there.

Jake.
Ah.

So tell me a little about the
social life as lancers qb 1.

Well, it's rigorous,
you know.

Work hard. Play hard.

Nap every 2 weeks
whether I need it or not.

Oh, I have
a parlor trick for you.

I can name your perfume.

No way.
Mm-hmm.

Lolita lempicka.

That's amazing.
How did you do that?

Do what?

How did I charm you
in 10 seconds?

Oh, listen, you need
to meet my girlfriend.

Alice. Come up here.

Alice, darling,
meet kelsey.

A pleasure. I love
your magazine.

Alice is a cheerleader.

Of course she is.

Quarterbacks and
pompom girls,

It's like peanut butter
and jelly, right?

2 great tastes.

We're not
pompom girls.

Oh?

Yes. We cheer
at games,

But that's just
to pay the rent.

We're competitive
athletes.

Yeah, the hellcats rock the
sidelines every Saturday afternoon.

Our fans just love 'em.

You said the team competes?

Yes. We're ranked
seventh overall

In the southern
coed division,

And we've qualified
to move on

To sectional
competitions next month.

Impressive.

Oh, you would
think so, right?

But apparently
it doesn't matter

To lancer's crack athletic
department bureaucrats.

They reallocated our funds
to the volleyball team.

We love our volleyball gals.

Any one of 'em could kick my
butt. Know what I'm saying?

But somehow lancer
found $3 million

For red raymond's salary
this year.

Can I steal the
lovely ms. Verdura?

Just for a second,
jake.

We'll be back in
2 ticks. Come here.

Be right back.

You're hurting my arm.

What in god's name
do you think you're doing?

You don't talk
to me like that.

This is an article
about the football team,

The lions, not a platform
for your cheerleading agenda.

My agenda?

You're gonna go
back in there,

You're gonna smile, and
you're gonna shut your mouth.

You got it?

No.

I don't think
I got anything.

I don't care
who your daddy is.

If you don't tell me
what I wanna hear right now,

I will rain holy hell upon you,
you smart-mouthed little idiot.

Now tell me.

Tell me.

Yes, sir.

Thanks, angel.

You know, I hope this man here has
told you how pretty you look today.

Thanks for
all the support.

Hey, babe.
Hey.

Can I crash with you?
Darwin needs the room.

He hooked up again?

Yeah. He met
some guy at empire.

Heh heh. It's always
the quiet ones.

What is in his dna,
and where can I get some?

Yeah.

Yeah. Of course
you can stay.

Let me just clear it
with savannah first.

Hey, I swear,
no funny stuff.

Yeah?
Mm-hmm.

Don't make rash promises.

Mmm.

Ooh.

Mm-hmm.

Hey.

Yo, m.

Oh, hey, marti,
is it cool

If dan crashes on
the floor tonight?

Heh. Ha. Funny story.

Y'all want help fixing up a
spot on the floor for lewis?

Wh-where?
In the closet?

Oh. Oh, you two are--

Don't look
so scandalized.

I-it's just that we're
all in the same room.

We're not planning on having
sex with you guys in the room.

Oh. Thank the lord
for small favors.

If there's a problem, I can
just take the sofa outside.

No problem.
It's all good.

Dan: At least
you achieved mattress.

I'm sorry. What?

I said at least
he achieved mattress.

I know what you said.
It was a crack.

No crack. Statement of fact.
He is in the bed.

Because he's got a cool
girlfriend and yours is a prude?

I did not say that.

I would have remembered

If he called me cool. Relax.

Yeah. We're all just
slumber party pals.

Sorry.

Ok, now everyone's
on eggshells.

I-I'm feeling pressured.

You guys want me to invite
dan in my bed, right,

Ease the tension?

Nope. Not really.

Do not have a dog
in that race.

I-I'm a good girl,
and I resent

Being forced
to apologize for it.

Look, nobody is asking you
to apologize.

Look, why don't I just go home?

To your room
that you share

With your older brother
and his fiancée?

That's terrible
and awkward.

You say so all the time.

And yet, at this moment,

It seems
strangely appealing.

You get the bed.
I'll take the sofa.

No. I'm not letting you--

No. You're a guest.
You get the bed.

That's how it works.

Wow.

Somebody's got issues.

Aw, so much for
my orgy fantasy.

Is it me, or is savannah
getting weirdly intense?

She's drunk
on your heady musk.

Not that drunk, sadly.

Poor dan patch.

Here you are finally
dating a cheerleader,

And she won't let you
under her skirt.

I have the same problem with
scottish bagpipe players.

Savannah's a great girl.

I just wish she'd lighten
up on the whole sex issue.

Lighten up, as in
agree to have it with you?

Not necessarily,
believe it or not.

Are you saying
you don't want sex?

Not if it's gonna be
under these circumstances.

I'm tired
of talking about it.

Am I ok with
not having sex?

Do I think
she's a prude?

If she gives it up, will I
consider marriage down the line?

Wait. Marriage?

Really?
Subject was broached.

Wow.

Just the way
she obsesses

Over the virginity issue
scares me.

Don't overreact.

Yeah? Tell her that.

In her head,
she's building it up

Into this gigantic
rite of passage

That's gonna change
her life forever.

It's a lot
of responsibility.

We know all about you
and taking responsibility.

Ok, that's unkind.

Look...

Hang on to her
with both hands, dan patch.

She's good people.

You don't think
I know that?

Yeah, well, remember it.

Crap. I'm late.

Where are you off to?

State prison.

Heh heh.

I want your life!

Guys any closer to
springin' me from this hole?

Making progress.

We've been looking
into deed records.

Your old pal jane loomis
is homeless no longer.

She lives here.

2 years ago, she was
splittin' her time

Between a freeway underpass
and a shelter,

And now she's livin'
in this palace?

Heh. It's hardly
a palace.

Doesn't even have
a proper garage.

We think it's weird, too.

A homeless woman agrees
to be your alibi,

Then recants on the stand,
incriminating you,

And 2 years later, she's mysteriously
living the middle-class dream.

Something's off.

Think someone
bribed her to lie?

Maybe.

If we find out
who it is,

It gets you one step closer
to gettin' out of this place.

Place is owned by a
guy named bobby overton.

Marti: Ring a bell?

I--I don't know him.
Sorry.

He, uh, owns
a furniture company.

And you think
he's in on it?

Maybe.

It takes a special sort
of humanitarian

To rent a house to a woman
with no previous address.

We'll see what
mr. Overton has to say.

Real estate law?

I wasn't aware
such a discipline existed.

How can I help you kids?

County records lists you as the
owner of a house on maydale street.

You don't mind
me asking,

What kind of school
project is this?

Um, we're doing
a mock court case

Involving
rent-control laws.

We're surveying
the properties on that block

To examine
the law's effects.

So, while it's not specifically
documented as a rental unit,

Uh, there appears to be
a tenant living there.

Yeah. I did that one
off the books,

A favor to a friend.

What the tax man don't know,
he can't tax, hmm?

Oh. Yep.

You're not here
to bust me, are you?

Ah.
Oh. No.

No, we wouldn't
dream of it.

So jane loomis
is your friend?

Indeed she is.
I met janie loomis

At the south parkway mission
down on third street.

I volunteer there
every Sunday.

Pardon my french,

But life has dealt janie
a crap hand.

I had a property that had
been empty for 2 years,

So I let her
take it over rent-free.

Give her a chance to get
back on her feet, you know.

H-how long has jane
been in the house?

Eh, a year or thereabouts.

You know, it's a shame
your professor's

Got you runnin' all over town,
doin' his dirty work.

All work and no play,
that's no way to live.

2 tickets to the u2 concert
at the pyramid next month.

I'm not gonna use 'em.

That little irish fella.

You take your girl out,
show her a good time, hmm?

I would consider it
a personal favor

If you could leave janie loomis
alone from now on.

Janie's been through a lot.

Woman on p.A.: Mr. Overton
to the loading dock.

Mr. Overton
to the loading dock.

Does the name travis
guthrie mean anything to you?

I meet a lot of people.

Never been good with names.

So excuse me.

My gal gets cranky
if I don't hop to.

That's a man with
something to hide.

Bill marsh.

I hate that guy.

He called me an idiot.

I mean, he's a freakin'
pencil pusher.

Have you seen the size
of his office? Laughable.

Some of us
are tryin' to work.

Where is
your indignation,

Your outrage
on my behalf?

Well, I left my outrage
in my locker.

And I'm tellin' you
it was so powerful,

I needed to use 2 padlocks so it didn't
bust out and terrorize downtown memphis.

Is this funny to you?

Is this funny to you?

Heh. You're angry
in your underpants.

That's kind of funny,
I guess.

Oh, jakey.

I always wanna
remember you like this,

When you still had
your testicles.

Heh heh.

Ok, listen. Bill marsh is a sanitary
napkin in a suit. I get that.

The coach hates him,
we all hate him,

But there's a certain protocol
we're supposed to be following

As ambassadors
of lancer football.

I'm not an ambassador
of football.

You're a football wife.

Is that how you see me?

Really?

I'm some kind of,
uh, groupie?

A hanger-on?

No.

No, but you're
in a certain position

Because of my position.

I'm quarterback, darlin'.

Being my girlfriend comes
with certain expectations.

I don't
like expectations.

I defy them.

Ok.

Alice, this article
is a puff piece.

Ok, dress up football players
in nice suits.

Show 'em how well
we clean up.

Buy the t-shirt and forget that
lancer ever got sanctioned by the ncaa.

So it's
a p.R. Whitewash?

Yes, exactly,
so under the circumstances,

Going on and on
to that reporter

About cheerleading was
completely inappropriate.

She asked me a question about
cheerleading, and I answered it.

I was way more
interesting than you

Droning on
about the lancer lions.

Ooh, "we work hard
and play hard."

I was doing my job, alice.
Try doing yours.

Support me.

And if I don't feel
like doing that job?

Then you're fired.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my god.

I'm kiddin'. Jeez.

Look on your face.

You know, you are a nightmare
in a pair of panties.

Mwah.

Be right back.

I've made a decision.

Hmm. Coming over
to the dark side?

Gonna finally become
a dog person?

What? God, no.

What then?

I'm tired of feeling
like an oddball.

I'm ready
to take the plunge,

Find out what all
the fuss is about.

Fuss about what?

Virginity.

I'm chopping down
the cherry tree.

Ok, so tomorrow night
after the party... Ok, then.

A limo will take us to the
carmichael hotel out of town.

I reserved a suite,
white roses, and candles.

Oh, I know dan
loves memphis music,

So I will not be skimping
on the justin timberlake.

Sunday morning,
we'll do the buffet brunch.

So--oh, dress!
You could help me there.

Will dan prefer a bra that hooks
in the front or the back?

Savannah, no.

If you think
I'm going braless,

You can forget about it.

Front hooking, I think.

That way,
we maintain eye contact.

Wow. Oh, what's your
position on g-strings?

Personally, I think
they're disgusting,

But this night
is for dan, so...

Ok, you're talking really
fast and kind of crazy.

Just sit down
and breathe, all right?

Sorry.
I'm a little nervous.

Yeah.

Was it that obvious?

My first time was
totally unexpected, ok?

It was in the back of
a buick off route 51

With somebody I never
thought it would happen with.

Were you in love with him?

That's
a complicated question.

My point is
it just happened.

No preplanning.
No stage management.

And it was good

For what it was.

Why are you
telling me this?

Because I think
you're awesome.

And I think you need
to know that it's ok

To throw away
the itinerary.

You don't have to
micromanage this.

No offense, marti,

But for me, losing your
virginity is gigantic.

I will remember this night
for the rest of my life.

It has to be perfect.

It can't be just
some haphazard accident

That happens
in the back of a car.

Yeah, well, you show up
at this hotel with dan

And he sees all the planning
you've put into this,

And you're
gonna scare him.

A plan that ends in sex,

I mean, what guy
says no to that?

You're putting
too much on this.

If he thinks it means more
to you than it means to him,

He's gonna run away.

That is a horrible
thing to say.

Savannah, I'm just
trying to help.

Look, lighten up.

Stop obsessing
about the sex.

Let it go.

Let it go.

You sound just like him.

Marti, have you been talking
to dan about this?

You can't ask me that.

I am.

Dan and I are
best friends,

And we talk about
a lot of things.

Before I started
this relationship,

I asked you point-blank
if you had feelings for dan.

And I said no.

What are you
getting at?

I just hope your advice

Doesn't have
an ulterior motive.

Savannah.

We've got some eighties
costumes in the back

From when we did
"heathers," the musical.

And remember,
don't tell anybody

From the theater department
that I let you in here.

Our secret.

Be sure to lock up
when you're done.

Oh. And the matter
of my payment.

Oh.

Go, hellcats.

Excellent.

What do you think
he's gonna do with that?

Do not wanna know.

Better left
to the imagination.

Smart thinkin', m, gettin'
us into the costume room.

Yeah. It's cheaper
than renting.

Hey, listen, I've got a big surprise
planned after the party tonight.

Yeah?
What kind of surprise?

Promise it's something
you've been waiting for,

And you won't
be disappointed.

Oh, don't drink
too much tonight.

Oh.
I need you alert.

Ok.

Wow.

"wow" is right. Rreow.

Hey.

Oh. Ow. That--
that hurts my eyes.

It's what the eighties
were all about.

Savannah, are we cool?

Fine.

You know I'm
on your side, right?

I want to believe that.

Well, it's true.

I want you guys
to have a good time.

But...

No buts.

You guys are
both my friends,

And I want you
to be happy.

Sometimes it's hard
to be mad at you.

I'm sorry
if my awesomeness

Confounds your narrow
view of humanity.

And other times,
it's easy.

Ok.

Alice: Well, when you
grow up with 4 brothers,

You have to try harder.

That's what drew me
to the hellcats.

We push ourselves
to the limits,

All in pursuit
of excellence.

Some of the newbies
wash out right away,

But for those of us
who stay,

What we have is bigger
than any football team.

We live together,
eat together,

Sleep together.

We're a family.

No other word for it.

I-I'm sorry.
I'm a little choked up.

That is so beautiful.

I have a confession to make.

You can tell me
anything, kelsey.

My editor hates
the football piece.

Alice: No way.

He wants to spike it.

He thinks the football hero
thing's been done to death.

I accepted your invite

Because I saw
a fresh angle--

"cheerleading,
the ultimate sport."

Oh, my gosh.

That--that sounds
amazing.

I've been watching
the old bid videos you sent me.

I had no idea cheerleaders
got that hard-core.

You've just
saved my life here.

The new take will focus
on the hellcats as underdogs.

Ho! Kelsey!

I think I love you.
Heh heh.

J-just let me know
what I can do to help.

Maybe a little more
champagne.

Oh. You got it.

Bill marsh wanted
that football piece.

Well, you heard the woman.

It was gonna get spiked
no matter what I did.

I can't control what the press
decides to publish.

Do you have any idea
what's gonna happen

When bill marsh finds out
that a lions football piece

Got traded out by a piece
on the freakin' hellcats?

He's gonna figure out my
girlfriend was behind it,

And he's gonna have me stuffed
and mounted on his wall.

Well, that's quite
the visual.

I'm--I'm not
screwin' around, alice.

Oh, lighten up.

Bill marsh needs you
a lot more than you need him.

That is not the point.

The point is we're
supposed to be a couple,

And you just stabbed me
in the back.

I'm sorry you're so upset.

Next time, maybe you'll treat me
with a little bit more respect.

Next time, you'll support me
when a bullying jackass

Attacks me in a public place
and almost makes me cry.

We are supposed
to be a couple, after all.

Marti!

I need to talk
to you alone.

Wow. Great
eighties costume.

Urkel, right?

No, no. He's skippy
from "family ties."

Yes. I remind you
of famous nerds.

Funny stuff. I need to
talk to you in private.

Yeah.

My laptop was stolen
from my dorm room.

I went downstairs
to grab some cereal,

Came back 10 minutes later,
and it was missing.

Uh, my tv, my blu-ray player,
my roommate's laptop,

They were all still there.
My laptop, gone.

Sorry to hear that.
Was it insured?

No, you're not getting this.

This is a warning
from overton.

Oh, you think overton
stole the laptop?

I think he'd steal back
the u2 tickets first.

Probably worth more.

He knows we're
onto something.

Stuff goes missing from
the dorms all the time.

Where's your laptop?

Morgan, we're in
the middle of a party.

Check.

What--

See?

Safe and sound.

You can report the theft with
campus security in the morning.

Right now, you should go back
to the party, have a beer,

Play some ms. Pac-man.

I don't like
video games.

Well, check you out,
mr. Wall street.

Greed is good,

But that hair
is fantastic.

Yeah. Well, just don't
light a match.

Heh heh.

How do you mean?

I always thought you and my

What?

Yeah. You know,
a mother knows these things.

I always think
it's obnoxious

When women say that,
but it's true.

I'm--I'm not
following.

What's true?

Marti's in love with you.

Excuse me?

Yeah. She has been
since her sophomore

Or junior year
in high school,

When she got her boobs.

She told me.

Marti was never
in love with me.

Did you ever
read her diary?

Uh, no.

Well, she used to write
these little poems.

They were so sweet.

Oh, damn.
The things that we do

And say when we're young.

I miss being your age.

What else did she write?

Oh, I can't tell you
my daughter's secrets.

They would take away
my "good mother" card.

But suffice it to say
that now that you're older,

Who does she call late at
night when she needs advice?

Not lewis.

Certainly not me.

It's you.

Don't you remember last year
when she had the flu

And she wouldn't let anybody
within 100 miles of her?

All of a sudden,
you show up with dvds,

And she's ready to spread germs
all over the damn place.

That, my dear, is love.

That's love.

So I think it's so funny,
I mean, marti and lewis

And you and savannah
whilin' away the time

While venus
and the gods of love

Are gonna wave that magic wand
and make you all straighten up.

I don't think so, wanda.

Well, of course you don't,
because you're 21,

And when you're 21, you are dumb
as dirt when it comes to love.

I will bet you
a dollar to a doughnut

That you and marti will be
together within 10 years.

No.

Uhh. Ok, I can't
give you specifics,

But you have to remember that I
am a woman with inside knowledge,

So you bide your time,

'cause my daughter
is worth the wait.

Hey.
Hey.

Wanna get out of here?

Already?

Yeah, I don't know.
I'm tired.

I just wanna get out

Take a shower, and veg
in front of the tv.

Hey, lewis,
you give us a minute?

Uh, yeah. I'll just, uh,
make my farewell rounds.

I had an interesting
conversation with wanda just now.

Well, car wrecks are
interesting by nature.

What'd you guys talk about?

You.

Yeah. What about me?

Well, for one thing, if
you still keep a diary,

You need a better lock.

But the other thing...

Yeah.

Did you ever tell your mom
you were in love with me?

What? No.
Hold on.

Really think
about your answer,

'cause this
is important.

It's a party.

Wanda's drinking.
I mean--

She seemed pretty lucid
for wanda.

How would any of this
come up?

And why are
you grilling my mom?

If you have something
to ask me, just say it.

I'm asking you
right now.

Wanda seems to think

We're soul mates
or something

Because of things
you supposedly told her,

So I just wanna know.
Did you or did you not

Suggest to your mom that you
believed we would end up together?

No.

I mean, maybe.

Yeah.

Look, if--if I did--

And that's a big if--
it was a long time ago, so--

I mean, I've also been
in love with trent reznor,

Tori amos, a-and the guy from the
dyson vacuum cleaner ads, so I--

Ok, look, I'm goin' down
a road here with savannah.

Is there any reason
I shouldn't?

Like what?

You tell me.

Hey, lewis!

Have you seen

Lewis, have you seen

Lewis! Ok, it was on

Lewis: Building

There's something
I wanna tell you.

Anything.

I'm really excitedua

Me, too.

For a while,
I was really worried

That my first time
wouldn't be special

And I'd reach
a point in my life

Where I'd just have to hurry up
and get it over with.

Why would you do that?

Because I know
it's a little weird

To be a 21-year-old virgin
in this day and age.

Savannah, nothing
about you is weird.

You're my girl.

I was starting to wonder
if the person I was waiting for

Was ever
gonna come along,

But now I know it was
the right decision to wait,

Because you're the one
I've been waiting for.

It's gotta be
the right person.

I believe that.
