High School (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Hello, I'm Right Here - full transcript
Tegan, come
in here. Look.
Come in.
- Were you just playing guitar?
- Yeah.
Do you think that you'd ever
want to, you know, with Evan?
I don't really
think he's who I'm into.
So glad you're finally
done babysitting, Sara.
Do you ever get tired of
dropping everything for her?
Why were you and
Sara sleeping like that?
Maybe Sara shouldn't
spend the night anymore.
I didn't know if I should
call her. I could call her. Whatever.
Of course, you
can. We should hang out.
- Sure.
- And tell Tegan to come too.
- Okay.
Wow. It actually sounds like
you practiced this time.
Now that I did your thing,
can I try something else?
Oh, yeah. Well, it's actually
Chopin's "thing" not mine.
And I don't know if we should be
cutting in your sister's time.
I don't mind.
All right. Go.
What is that?
That's just this thing
I've been working on.
That's awesome. You think
you could play it on guitar?
Probably.
What if it
was faster? Like...
Yeah, I like that.
All right. Okay. Two more minutes of
this, then back to some sonatas, okay?
I'm gonna get a cup
of tea or a drink.
- That was...
- I know.
It's like a song song now.
And you're getting
so good at guitar.
Okay. Well, um, I
have to go meet Maya.
Okay.
But... And you're
welcome to come if you want.
- Hi.
- Hey.
And Sara. What a surprise.
Oh, yeah. Well, I invited
her. I hope that's okay.
Yeah. Of course.
We have work to do.
I'm gonna go look around.
Okay.
Oh, shit, that's
the one you chose?
Wrong move.
You're such an asshole.
Sara?
- Hi.
- Hey.
Hi.
We're gonna go grab a
coke. Did you wanna come?
No, I'm good. Thanks.
I'll catch up with you, guys.
Okay.
What are you doing here?
Uh, my mom is just
shopping down the street
and she's driving me kind of
crazy, so I'm just kinda wandering.
What about you?
Oh, same. Except
for the mom part.
How's stuff?
It's okay. I feel like all
I really do is go to school
and then to work and
home and do homework.
So you don't hang
out with anyone?
No. Are you?
No. But I was also grounded
for two months, so...
Ah, right.
Maybe we should hang out.
Just as friends. You could
stay over this weekend.
Yeah, I don't know. My mom is still
being so weird about, you know...
But we weren't even
doing anything.
I know. But she's
still on high alert.
Maybe my mom could
call your mom.
She could just explain that it
wasn't what she thought it was.
My mom is good with
that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
I mean,
yeah, if you think that'll work.
I mean, it's worth a try.
- Will you please stop lurking?
- I'm not lurking.
I'm just standing here.
Can you just tell
me what you want?
Okay.
Phoebe's mom saw me and Phoebe
sleeping in her bed together.
Like close together.
But we weren't doing anything.
- It's okay if you were.
- But we weren't.
You know, when I was in boarding
school, I kissed a girl.
- Please don't tell the story again.
- I'm just...
I'm saying that experimenting
is nothing to be ashamed of.
Yeah, I know. But we weren't.
We were just sleeping.
And her mom is being
super weird about it.
She won't even let us hang out.
So, um, what do
you want me to do?
Maybe you could call her.
Okay.
- Really?
- Of course, yeah.
Okay. Thank you.
You want me to
call her right now?
- Whenever.
- Okay.
Whenever's fine.
And for the record,
that was lurking.
Okay. Are you ready?
Okay. Yes. Yes. I'm
ready. I'm ready.
Mm-hmm.
- Stop.
- Okay.
- Be serious.
- Okay. Okay.
Okay. Now, you be serious.
Okay, okay, okay. I will. Okay.
Out of your system?
- Yes.
- Okay.
Hello?
Well, whatever
your mom said worked.
My mom said I could sleepover.
- Really?
- Yeah. What about Saturday?
Yeah. That's perfect.
Great. Okay. I gotta
go but I'll see you then.
Okay. Bye.
Phoebe?
Uh, yeah.
So, it's not weird or anything
anymore with you guys?
No. We're gonna hang
out on Saturday.
Let's keep playing.
Okay.
Yeah, but it
was nice to talk to her.
I feel like I hadn't talked
to your mom in so long.
- Yeah. It's been a while.
- She's doing well, yeah?
Yeah. She's
busy but she's good.
Right. Right. Are you
liking school? How's it all going?
It's good. It's
hard, but I like it.
It's so nice having you
back here. It's been too long.
- Yeah.
- Hi.
Hi.
We're just gonna go downstairs.
All right. Don't call
me if you need anything.
- Okay, Mom.
- Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Hey!
- Hi!
- Hey, how are you?
Oh, I'm good.
Hey, what's
with the guitar?
Oh, uh, Sara and I have just
been playing music together.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
Can I hear?
I don't know. We've only
ever played for our parents.
Please.
- That was amazing.
- You think so?
Definitely.
If I were you, I would be
playing for everyone I know.
- Tegan, Maya's on the phone!
- Okay!
- Bye, guys.
- Bye.
I didn't realize
you could do that.
I didn't either.
But when I picked up
the guitar, it was like
I already knew what to do.
What?
Nothing.
I've just never
seen you like this.
You actually care
about something.
I've cared about other things.
Other than that.
I missed you.
And I missed you too.
So why don't we stop
missing each other?
I'm different now.
- I don't...
- I know you liked
being more than
friends, didn't you?
Yes.
So why can't we do that again?
I like boys.
But...
I like you too.
I only like you.
What is this anyway?
Yeah. Seriously. You
guys are being so dramatic.
And that's coming from me.
- Hold on.
- Hey. Get down.
If you scratch my brother's car,
I'm the one who gets murdered.
Shh. You worry too much.
- What's going on?
- Oh, hold on. Just listen.
Okay. So, thank you
all for being here...
At school? Which we're
required to attend?
Yeah. So Tegan and I have
been writing some songs
and we've been told
they don't totally suck
- and we wanna play them for you.
- Wait. What?
How many of these are about me?
None... yet.
Unbelievable.
Okay. No offense,
but is this like actually you?
Yeah.
So you've just been a musical
genius this whole time?
This song is
like really, really good.
I would listen to this like a
hundred thousand times in a row.
Hey, where are you going?
It's not gonna work.
Yes, it is. Trust
me. I'm very persuasive.
Yeah. I guess you are.
Hey!
Drinks are on me.
Thanks.
We forgot our IDs. So stupid.
Yeah. No problem.
You know what? I'm a bartender over
at JJ's, if you want to stop by.
Sometimes people who forgot
their IDs hang out there.
Cool. Thanks.
Cool. All right. See ya.
See ya.
I can't believe
you got him to do that.
It's not
that complicated.
Guys will do anything you
want if you flirt with them.
You should try it.
I don't think I
could pull that off.
I don't have a ton of
that kind of experience.
Oh, have you not...
You're not missing much.
You don't like it?
I mean, it's all right.
It's a good way to not think about
the things I don't wanna think about.
Are you serious?
Why would I know any
Bruce Springsteen songs?
I'm not a middle-aged man!
Because he's great!
- I doubt it.
- I'll prove it to you.
Me and you, Blacktop Records.
Okay. But not because
I think you're right.
Just because I like
hanging out with you.
I like hanging out with you too.
Um...
you know, there's a lot
about my life that's shitty,
but when I'm with you, I kind
of forget about all that.
Was that so lame?
Yeah. Totally.
Nothing about you is lame.
I've never had a friend
before that's just mine.
It's really cool.
Am I lame now?
No.
- Hi.
- Hey.
And Sara! What a surprise.
Oh, yeah. Well, I
invited her. I hope that's okay.
Yeah.
Of course.
We have work to do.
I'm gonna look around.
Okay.
Okay. Convert me
to Springstianity.
So as an entry point,
Born in the U.S.A. is a safe bet.
Okay.
But I see you more as a Darkness
on the Edge of Town type.
I don't know what any
of those words mean.
Well,
let's keep looking.
Oh, but I do love this one.
I don't know
which one to choose.
Let's see.
Oh.
- That's the one you chose?
- What?
- Wrong move.
- Wait. Really?
You're an asshole.
Sara?
Hi.
- Hey.
- Hi. We're gonna go grab a coke.
- Do you wanna come?
- No, I'm good. Thanks.
- I'll catch up with you, guys.
- Okay.
That seemed awkward.
I didn't think so.
Hey, you wanna come over so you
can be there for the first time
I ever hear Bruce Springsteen,
get my reactions in real time?
I can't.
I promised Sara that I would
do something with her later.
What kind of something?
Nothing interesting.
But I expect a full debrief of
your reactions later though.
- Track by track.
- Mm-hmm.
Hello?
- Hey, it's me.
- Hey.
- Are you busy right now?
- Um...
Uh, I just wanted to see if you
wanted to meet up somewhere.
Be quiet.
Sorry, that was to
Sara. What did you say?
I just wanted to
see if you could...
Maya, can
I call you back?
- Sure.
- Okay. Bye.
Bye.
But you admitted that Kurt Cobain
is a better songwriter than Billy Corgan.
No, I didn't!
You did. I remember.
I never said that.
No. You
definitely said that!
- Hey!
- Hi.
Sorry, we're just...
it doesn't matter.
You never called
me back last night.
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
I was going to but
we just got busy
and some stuff took
longer than we thought.
- It was Sara's fault.
- Shut up.
At least I was
taking it seriously.
- I was taking it seriously.
- Hmm.
Well, that's not the way
I remember that happening.
- But that's what happened.
- No. I don't think so.
Hey! You don't want
to come sit with us?
Um, I'm not really feeling
the group thing today.
Oh, is everything okay?
Yeah.
Um, it's just we haven't hung
out, the two of us, in a while.
I know.
Sara and I have been
working on this thing,
but what if we hang out later?
- Okay. Yeah.
- Okay.
Well, I'm gonna go, but meet me
in the parking lot after school.
Mm-hmm.
What is this anyway?
I mean, seriously, you
guys have been so dramatic.
And that's coming from me.
Hey, get down.
If you scratch my brother's car,
I'm the one who gets murdered.
Shh. You worry too much.
What's going on?
Oh, hang on.
Oh, just listen.
Okay. So, thank you
all for being here...
At school? Which
we are required to attend?
Yeah. So, Tegan and I
have been writing some songs,
and we've been told that
they don't totally suck,
and we want to
play them for you.
Wait, what?
How many of
these are about me?
None. Yet.
Unbelievable.
Hey. Where are you going?
I thought we were
supposed to hang out.
Yeah, something came up.
Did you not like the song?
Everybody else loves it. Why
do you care what I think?
Why are you
being like this?
Because it sucks to find
out you've been lying to me
about this thing
you've been doing.
Well, I
wasn't lying. I was...
I was embarrassed.
What if we weren't any good?
Well, apparently you don't
have to worry about that.
Why are you
so upset about this?
You've been blowing me
off to hang out with Sara,
even though she's
been so shitty to you.
I don't get why you're
just giving in to her.
I'm not "giving in to her". We found
something we like to do together.
Whatever.
You've been using me as, like, a filler
friend while Sara was ignoring you.
You're not a filler friend.
- You're really important to me.
- Yeah.
As long as Sara's not around.
That's not true.
You should go back
to your adoring fans.
Hey.
Hey.
So did you, uh,
you find that ID yet?
Can't seem to locate it.
Is that good?
Yeah.
There's this girl, Cass, that
Phoebe really wants you to meet.
Is this because
you feel bad for me?
They should play at the party.
Yeah, it's too bad we can't
play one of these songs.
- It's ours. Maybe we can.
- How?
I'm sure we can
figure something out.
in here. Look.
Come in.
- Were you just playing guitar?
- Yeah.
Do you think that you'd ever
want to, you know, with Evan?
I don't really
think he's who I'm into.
So glad you're finally
done babysitting, Sara.
Do you ever get tired of
dropping everything for her?
Why were you and
Sara sleeping like that?
Maybe Sara shouldn't
spend the night anymore.
I didn't know if I should
call her. I could call her. Whatever.
Of course, you
can. We should hang out.
- Sure.
- And tell Tegan to come too.
- Okay.
Wow. It actually sounds like
you practiced this time.
Now that I did your thing,
can I try something else?
Oh, yeah. Well, it's actually
Chopin's "thing" not mine.
And I don't know if we should be
cutting in your sister's time.
I don't mind.
All right. Go.
What is that?
That's just this thing
I've been working on.
That's awesome. You think
you could play it on guitar?
Probably.
What if it
was faster? Like...
Yeah, I like that.
All right. Okay. Two more minutes of

Everybody else loves it. Why
do you care what I think?
Why are you
being like this?
Because it sucks to find
out you've been lying to me
about this thing
you've been doing.
Well, I
wasn't lying. I was...
I was embarrassed.
What if we weren't any good?
Well, apparently you don't
have to worry about that.
Why are you
so upset about this?
You've been blowing me
off to hang out with Sara,
even though she's
been so shitty to you.
I don't get why you're
just giving in to her.
I'm not "giving in to her". We found
something we like to do together.
Whatever.
You've been using me as, like, a filler
friend while Sara was ignoring you.
You're not a filler friend.
- You're really important to me.
- Yeah.
As long as Sara's not around.
That's not true.
You should go back
to your adoring fans.
Hey.
Hey.
So did you, uh,
you find that ID yet?
Can't seem to locate it.
Is that good?
Yeah.
There's this girl, Cass, that
Phoebe really wants you to meet.
Is this because
you feel bad for me?
They should play at the party.
Yeah, it's too bad we can't
play one of these songs.
- It's ours. Maybe we can.
- How?
I'm sure we can
figure something out.
