Life Unexpected (2010–2011): Season 2, Episode 3 - Criminal Incriminated - full transcript

Previously on Life UneXpected

you and someone had a kid.

You gave up that kid.

I am that kid.

And now I'm applying
for emancipation.

Cate Cassidy... that's your mom.

- Cate Cassidy was pregnant in high school?
- Yes.

Cate and I are back
from our honeymoon.

And we did not
return empty-handed.

We'd like to introduce

the latest edition to morning madness...
Kelly Campbell.



I am not granting
you emancipation.

I'm releasing you

back into their temporary

joint custody.

We are firing you.

Ryan and Kelly debut tomorrow.

How would you like

to produce the Ryan
and Kelly show?

Is it the bar?

- Paige.
- Is Ryan here?

No, your brother's
still at the station.

- There is no bar.
- Since when?

Since you burned it down.

I may not have the right
resume or credentials,



but I'm a hard worker,
I'm determined and I'm fearless,

because, believe me,
I have nothing to lose.

But you got to know,
I want this job.

I needed this.

I see you've met Mr. Daniels.

- You're a...?
- Teacher.

Your daughter is failing
out of Westmonte.

She needs to get an "A"
on this Thursday's midterm.

A 95!

I know that I was only
unemployed for a couple of days,

but I kind of got
used to sleeping in.

Mm... well, you know
what they say?

The early bird gets the worm.

That was a... that was a euphemism.

Yeah, I got it.

- You get that?
- Yeah, I got it.

Wow, I don't think I've
ever seen you up this early.

You know, sober.

- This is a big day, Matthew.
- Matthew?

Yeah. You know,
first day on the real job.

Just, uh... practicing
sounding professional.

Today's my first day coaching
girls' JV basketball.

- How am I supposed to sound?
- Dude,

you should sound pumped.

We're both heading into
exciting new territory here.

While I'm braving the
world of finance,

you will be teaching
Lux how to dribble.

I told you, there's no way
you're going to get her to play.

Lux won't even play
basketball on the Wii.

Well, maybe Lux hasn't
had the experience

to make her love it yet.

Now, this is going to be great...

for both of us.

Think positive, Matthew.

Okay, not liking that.

Hmm, you look cute.

Thank you. I mean,
I am the producer now.

I'm trying to look producer-y,

even if I didn't want the job.

That's the spirit.

Okay, seriously... who does this?

She's not the only one
around here who drinks milk.

No. She's the only
one who confuses

the fridge for a trash can.

And she's the only one

that would drink a
$200 bottle of wine

that my aunt gave
us for our wedding!

Can you keep it down, please?

Oh, it's not like she's
going to wake up.

And there's nothing to eat.

Why is there nothing to eat?

Did I tell you that she
borrowed my car yesterday,

and she scratched the door?

Yes, verbally and via text.

You need to do
something about this.

She said she was crashing
for a couple of days.

A couple of day came and
went a couple of days ago.

Okay, you're repeating your words,

so I know you're annoyed,
but, Cate, she's family,

and as far as sisters go,
she could be worse.

Oh, than Abby.

Paige is so much worse than Abby.

Paige hasn't slept with Baze.

Oh, pizza.

I could eat...

- That's just cruel.
- Come on.

Look, we'll get something
at work, all right?

You don't want to be
late for your first day.

I got your coffee.

Ah, banana bread.

Thank you.

Paige. Hey, Paige.

Wake up.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I'm taking Lux to school.

We need to talk.

I heard from my dad's
insurance company,

and they said they would cover

the structural damage to the bar.

- Oh, sweet.
- No, but it's not sweet,

because everything else
I lost in the fire,

which comes to about
$20,000, we have to pay for.

Oh, God, that sucks.

Good luck with that.

The "we" that I'm
talking about... mm-hmm.

Is us, Paige... you and me.

I'm not following.

You burned down my bar.

I think it's fair
you pay for half.

$10,000?!

I can't pay for it myself.

I put all my savings
into that bar,

and I can't seem to rent
Jamie's room in the loft

because no one wants to
live above a giant ashtray.

Okay, so what do
you want me to do?

You want me to ask Ryan for it?

Oh, God no. Don't ask Ryan.

No, don't do that.

He would ask what you
were doing in my bar.

No, no, not Ryan.

Um... look.

I got a job, okay?

I am working for my half.

I am asking that you take
responsibility for yours.

You don't have to
pay me all at once.

You pay me in installments,

like, 500 bucks a
month or something.

But you got to start
paying me soon.

Baze?

Hey, you're early.

Hey, good morning, kiddo.

I got you a present.

Think fast.

You want me to play basketball?

Well... I want you
to at least try.

- Why? - Because there's more to
school than grades, that's why.

Tell that to Cate.

Cate.

Cate spent all of high
school in a library studying,

getting pelted with spitballs.

While I, on the other hand, played

sports and arguably better

than Cate ever did.

I mean, not about adverbs or
parallelograms or whatever,

but about teamwork,

discipline, setting goals.

You know what else?

I walked the halls

spitball free.

Another perk...

no more stressing about grades.

Because teachers always let
athletes slide a little bit.

Come on.

Give us a chance to spend
more time together.

I'm gonna suck.

Yeah, you thought you
were going to suck

on the English midterm, right?

But you studied,
and you got an "A".

I'm just asking that you
give this a shot, too.

Hi. Nate Bazile.

Do you know where I should go?

- Yes, it's right over there.
- Thanks.

Okay.

You're late.

I thought the market open at 9:30.

East coast time.

I'd also like to remind you

that you're no longer
working in a bar anymore.

Our investors are
high-profile people

with high-pressure careers

and zero tolerance for frat
boys who show up two hours late.

I'm really sorry.

I have to drop my kid off
at school in the mornings.

Oh, right, the illegitimate one.

You know, let me break
it down for you, Nate.

In this business,
perception is everything.

Clients don't want to hear excuses

or hear about your
personal problems.

If they don't think you have
your own life under control,

how the hell are you
supposed to handle theirs?

So, any disaster

that is your life,
they don't want to hear about it.

And neither do I.

Okay.

Don't go anywhere.

Portland, keep your
dials tuned to K-100.

We'll be back after this
word from Candoli's pizza.

Get it while it's hot.

You guys, really
fun stuff in there.

That was really great.

Really great.

Just one thing, Kelly...

I couldn't help noticing

this clicking sound in your voice.

It was like...

see how that's annoying?

Yes, I do. It used to happen to me

all the time, too.

You might want to take a bite

out of an apple. It helps.

Oh, think that there's
some in the break room.

- So?
- Yeah?

- How you doing?
- Doing good.

I'm doing really good.

Doing good. Things are going
really swimmingly, you know.

They're... sweet swimmingly.

"Swimmingly," that's a word,
isn't it?

I mean, that is a word-
"swimmingly"?

Yeah, it's a... it's a word.

You all right?

Yeah. I'm really good.

I mean, my tongue feels
really heavy in my mouth,

like it's taking up
more space or something.

Hmm, maybe it's swollen.

Maybe my mouth is getting smaller.

I cannot stop eating this
banana bread you made.

It is delicious.

I didn't make any banana bread.

Well, Lux, she definitely
did not make it,

because that girl...

she can't even turn the stove on.
Oh, God, Cate.

Uh, put the bread down.

Put the bread down!

Out.

Paige made this.

It means there's more
here than just bananas.

Like love?

Like pot.

Are you telling me
that I just inhaled

an entire loaf of
pot banana bread?!

Mm-hmm.

Ooh, what'd I miss?

Hey, I got you

your venti, nonfat,

two splenda latte as requested.

Bastard!

Not you.

That was... a friend
of mine from U of O.

He promised me two of
his football players

would participate in the firm's

charity golf tournament tomorrow,

and they just pulled out.

I'm playing with a
potential client

and we need two celebrity guests

to fill out our foursome.

Uh, you... I... I may know
some guys that can step in.

I need actual celebrities.

Not some friend of yours who
once won a taco eating contest.

What about Andre Miller
and Marcus Camby?

Portland trailblazers?

- You know them?
- Do I know... Yes.

They used to come into
the bar all the time.

Once, we got drunk together
and went to the roof,

and we started firing beer
cans off of the, uh...

Uh, not important, never happened.

I could try to get ahold of them.

Don't just try, get it done.

Hey, Cate.

Baze, thank God you answered.

I really need your help.

Um, how do I get un-high?

Are you anywhere near a hot tub?

Uh, no.

Then I can't help you.

No, Baze, seriously.

Okay, my mouth is totally dry,
my eyes are swelling shut.

I can do this.

A man should make it clear

exactly how much he makes a year?

Absolutely.

That way, the woman knows

what kind of lifestyle she's
looking at down the line.

And that's not at all superficial?

It's practical.

When making any big decision,

you always want to have as
much information as possible.

Ryan, dating is just the process

of deciding to marry someone.

Says the woman that no
man has decided to marry.

I mean, do you think

Barbie in here is really

a born-again virgin by choice?

What if she's a doll,

like, all plastic down there?

Your mic is on.

I got corporate on
line two for you.

Hello.

Okay.

Good effort.

Love the hustle.

Let's take five.

Diana.

Jones, hey. Hey.

I can't believe you're
playing basketball.

Any advice or words
of encouragement?

Nice socks?

I told Baze this was a bad idea.

The socks?

The basketball.

Come on, is this like,
a parent thing?

The whole follow
in their footsteps,

turn you into them?

Because after I
humiliate myself here,

I get to go home and study for

a test that I'm going to fail

or you could blow it off,
and we could go grab food.

Uh, just be as friends,

I promise. A group thing.

Besides, you'll study
better when you get home.

Pizza is like spinach
for your brain.

Okay, well, I need, like,
a billion slices.

And I got to get my English
grade up or I'm gonna fail out,

but maybe next time.

You hooking me up for tomorrow?

'Cause Mr. Rogers says that
test is gonna be impossible.

Don't worry about it.

We're all set.

Bring the cash to pizza tonight,

and you'll get the blue book
with the answers already in it.

Hey, I changed my mind.

I'm in for pizza tonight.

I could use all the
spinach I can get.

Awesome.

So how bad was it?

She said, you know,
with all the money

that they're using to
promote you and Kelly,

that it would be a shame if
the audience pictured her

having gender-neutral
doll genitalia.

Can't argue with that.

Yeah, thanks for the
vote of confidence.

I mean, do you even care at all
that this is Paige's fault?

The Barbie talk?

That was all you.

Why are you defending her?

No, forget jeopardizing
my entire career.

There is a teenager
living in the house.

I mean, what if Lux had eaten
a loaf of drugs for breakfast?

I mean, that's not okay.

Your sister needs to go.

Yes, I understand

that you have a lot of requests

for Marcus to appears events,

but my job kind of
depends on this,

so if you could just give him
a message, he'd remember me.

He hung out at my bar.

And we, uh...

Well, we used to... we threw
beers from the roof together.

Hello?

Hello.

Hi, Cate.

I need a favor.

Mm, are you near a hot tub?

No.

Well, then I can't help you.

All right, I deserve that.

Hot tubs, they really
do sober you up,

so I was being helpful,
and, uh, two,

I'm trying to make up for kind

of a rocky start at my new job.

My dad's firm is having

a charity golf
tournament tomorrow,

and a couple
celebrities bailed out

at the last second.

So, you want to know if
Ryan and I are available?

Actually, I was wondering if

Ryan and Kelly might be available.

So, what, Kelly's a celebrity now?

I mean, God,
that didn't take long.

Okay, I'm sorry, Cate,
but I am desperate.

Bunch of bigwigs
are gonna be there.

It's local celebrities
playing with

important potential
investors for the firm.

Um, lots of press.

I mean, after today,
the show could use that.

I mean, I could use that.

I mean, yeah, why not?

Really?

Yeah.

I'm a producer now.

This is me producing.

Yeah, I like this.

I like this you and me
getting along thing.

Uh, yeah, me, too.

Don't screw it up.

Hey, there.

Uh, dinner's gonna
be here in a bit.

I hope you're good with Chinese.

I, um, I forgot to tell you,

but I'm gonna be meeting
some friends for pizza.

Oh, oh.

Um, well, do you need money?
I just hit up the ATM.

I'm good.

And, Lux, what about your test?

Did you finish studying?

It's totally under control.

I just have to say, the way that

you have rebound at school

I'm really proud of you.

Thanks.

Would you be home at 9:00?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Hi.

Uh, let me just get my cash.

One second.

Okay.

So I haven't seen
you around lately.

Yeah, yeah, I guess
I've been pretty busy.

My adoption hearing, the wedding,

I tagged along on Ryan
and Cate's honeymoon.

- Wow.
- Yeah, we went to Vegas.

I would tell you about it,

but the ad campaign says
you're not supposed to.

So I-I heard, uh,
you and Bug broke up.

We don't have to talk about it.

I just wanted to make
sure you're all right.

Yeah, no, no, it's okay.

He kind of proposed,
and I wasn't ready.

Whoa.

Well, someone helped me see that.

Someone?

Like another guy?

Yeah, yeah, not really.

It was over before it started.

You really have been busy.

But I'm glad you weren't too
busy to come hang out tonight.

Although we kind of
ditched the guys.

Hey, you want another drink?

Orange or lemon-lime?

Um, half and half.

All right.

Thanks.

Hi.

Um, I want in on whatever
your version of studying is.

We don't know what
you're talking about.

Really? 'Cause I
overheard you today.

You sounded like a bad episode

of saved by the bell-
which is redundant.

So let me put it to
you this way, screech.

Let me in on this

or I'm telling Mr. Rogers
that you're cheating.

She stole it.

- You don't know that.
- Yes, I do.

Paige stole it, Ryan.

$300 cash doesn't just
disappear out of my wallet.

All right, can we just
retrace your steps?

Yes.

All steps lead back to Paige.

I mean, how do you not see that?

Because she's not the only
one who lives in this house.

Lux? Um, are you seriously

trying to imply that
Lux stole from me?

Because that is ridiculous.

If you do not ask Paige, I will.

Hey, ask me what?

Chinese? Yes.

I'm starving.

All right, look, Cate's missing
some money from her wallet.

Oh, bummer.

Can I have the last dumpling?

Awesome.

Uh, any idea what happened to it?

Nope.

Gotta go.

What, that's it?

Your entire line of questioning

is gonna stop at
"bummer" and "nope"?

Look, I know my sister, okay?

She didn't take the money.

Now, I asked her.

It's your turn.

To what, cross-examine her?

Not Paige.

Fair is fair.

You got to ask Lux.

Hey, it's Lux.

Leave a message.

Hey, kiddo. Just wanted to see
how your first practice went.

I, uh, I thought I'd be there,
but I am still at work.

Boo.

I'll call you later. Bye.

Take a look at the
prospectus tonight,

I think you'll be impressed.

We rank number one in
technology stock research,

middle market investment banking.

But why not just save yourself

the time and sing up right now.

You won't regret it.

I will take a look,

and I will see you on the
golf course tomorrow.

Looking forward to
meeting the trailblazers.

Me, too.

We're set for that, right?

Um, well, actually, uh,

turns out they had
other trails to blaze.

But you'll be golfing with

Kelly and Ryan, the hosts
of k-100's morning madness.

Oh, I love that show.

Yeah, I listen sporadically.

There was this, um, girl...

...Cate.

Yikes.

Yeah, knocked up by one guy,
engaged to another,

sleeping around at 16,

now there's this
kid running around.

Um, yeah.

No, I'm-I'm not familiar.

Ah.

Yeah, now there's
the new one... Kelly.

She's single, right?

Yes, sir, I believe so.

My divorce just got
finalized, so...

There's that.

Uh, she'll be there.

And we're looking
forward to it, tomorrow.

Oh, and you'll be there,
too, right?

To caddy, maybe?

I... I will be there.

Hey, Lux, um, can we talk to you?

Um, I was just going to go study.

Uh, we...

$300 is missing from my wallet.

Oh, I haven't seen it.

This is not what we are asking.

Okay, Ryan.

Um...

Lux, did you take it?

You think I stole your money?

No. I just had to ask.

You had to?

Because I've been doing
everything you asked me to do.

I've been working my
butt off at school,

I've been... I've been
getting my grades up,

I even joined the the basketball
team to keep Baze happy,

and you still think that
I'm this mess-up kid

who would steal and
then lie about it.

Oh, 'cause that is-
that's awesome.

Okay, Lux, I didn't say that.

You didn't have to.

Kelly

hey Cate

thanks for waiting for me.
Paige had to drop me off.

You let Paige borrow your car.

I hope your insurance
covers theft.

It's good to know
we're talking again.

Yeah, well, until you realize
you've got a major blind spot

when it comes to your sister,
we're not.

Ooh, nice bib. Ooh.

What are you-
what are you doing here?

Well, you know, thought we could
do it on the putting green.

Kidding.

Here.

What is... what is this?

This is 300 bucks.

It's the best I could do.

So I'd appreciate it
if you'd just lay off,

you know, until I get a job.

Okay, okay, you got to go.

What? You got to go.

You are a lot nicer
when you're wasted.

Why did some girl
dressed like a hooker

just give you a wad of cash?

Did that actually just happen?

No, absolutely not.

And there is nothing
to worry about.

Oh, that's...

that's probably nothing.

I'm going to go check on that.

What happened? She hit me in
the head with a golf ball!

Accidentally! Hey,
you got a pretty good knot there.

Okay, do you want me
to help get some ice?

I want you to get me a
restraining order... from you!

I'm done.

What are you doing?

My job depends on this.

I just maimed the
host of my own show.

My job is teetering precariously

on the edge of secure as well.

Some idiot just hit Kelly in
the head with a golf ball.

She just dropped out
of the tournament.

Weird.

Wow.

I can't lose this client.

Where am I supposed to find

another celebrity in 60 seconds?

Well, I just want to say

that I was a celebrity
until about a week ago.

That's true. That's totally true.

Why you could...

I mean, you could fill in;
You could take her spot.

Not exactly keeping her personal
life away from the client.

Hey?

We got a foursome or what?

Not a word about how you
two know each other.

All right, time's up.

Pencils down.

Pass your blue books

to the front.

No homework tonight,
but be ready to start

a separate peace tomorrow.

It's one of my favorites.

So, how'd you do?

Pretty well, I think.

See, I told you the
pizza would help.

Hold it, everyone.

A few of the teachers in
the English department

have been concerned
about cheating,

so we've decided to mark

the test booklets we hand out,

and I see a few of these

don't have marks.

Told you, you were idiots.

Shut up, dude.
The following people

please stay behind.

Chris Davies, Mike Bennett,
Max Jacobs...

...And Lux Cassidy.

Everyone else is dismissed.

Is that why you decided
to come last night?

To get in on their cheating ring?

I can't believe you.

If you think Lux would
steal and lie about it,

we have a bigger
problem on our hands.

I'm, I'm not saying Lux would,
okay... I'm just...

But you can't face the fact

that Paige would?

You know, we're your family now,
me and Lux.

- So what?, Page isn't?
- Okay, you know what?

Can you guys hit pause on this
episode of Jerry springer?

You're distracting the client.

- Sure.
- Thanks, Ryan.

Anything for Cate's
side of the family.

Your sister is a grown
woman that stole money

and lied to my face, and to yours!

You don't know Paige
stole it, okay?

It could have been Lux.

All right, what about Lux?

What are we talking about here?

There's $300 missing from
Cate's purse.

Yeah, and he would rather
accuse our kid than his sister.

Lux is not a thief, Ryan.

By the way, Paige just
gave me 300 bucks.

So... so could you be quiet?

What? Why-why is Paige
giving you money?

You don't even know Paige.

Paige and I... you know, we met

when she interviewed
for the bartenders gig.

And she is paying me money

because... she burned down my bar.

What?!

Wait, I thought a cigarette did.

It was Paige's cigarette.

7:00 in the morning?

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no!

Oh, Ryan... after everything
we've been through...

you're sleeping with my fiance,

you interrupt our wedding.

Do not tell me you
slept with my sister.

Yeah, of course,
he slept with your sister.

He slept with my sister.
He sleeps with everybody's sister.

I didn't know that she
was anybody's sister.

And I for sure hell didn't know

that she was going
to burn down my bar,

steal money from Cate

and then frame my kid.

All I am trying to do
right now is my job.

So don't you make me out
to be the bad guy, Ryan.

Not now!

If you guys don't mind,

I'm going to make
this my last hole.

- So, how was the most boring sport
ever invented? - Get out.

Okay. Not just out of the car...
our house,

I know you stole the money, Paige,

I know you slept with Baze,
and I know

you burned down his bar.

Where am I supposed to go?

I defended you to Cate.

And I even accused
my own stepdaughter.

I'll drop you off on
my way to the station,

but I want you packed and
gone by the time I get back.

Mr. Jackson. I, uh,
I'm sorry to bother you,

but I just-
I wanted to apologize.

I hope that you won't let
what I said or who I am

affect your decision to invest
your money with the firm.

I'm not the guy that's going
to be managing the money.

That's Emma.

And that's who you want.

She will eat, sleep and breathe

your portfolio so that
you can rest easy.

Me...

I got this job two days ago.

And my dad helped me get
my foot into the door.

And I took the job to
prove something to him,

and to my kid and to myself.

And I have a lot to learn.

You know, but as
badly as I want it,

I'm not the type of guy

who can hide who I am
to impress someone,

even if who I am makes me
look bad to someone like you.

So...

What do you think?

Don't worry, I'm not robbing you.

I'm packing.

I'm sorry I stole your money.

But I guess you got
what you wanted.

No, this isn't what I wanted.

Right. You have hated
me since I showed up.

I don't hate you, Paige.

I just think that Ryan's given you

one too many chances is all.

How many chances has he given you?

After all the crap
you pulled with Baze.

You are so lucky
Ryan's the type of guy

who would never turn
his back on family.

If he were, he never
would have married you.

Thanks for the hospitality.

- This is Lux's test.
- I cannot believe this.

I mean, cheating doesn't
even make any sense.

You've been doing so well.

Not really.

What about the midterm last week?

Oh, um... I...

I stole the answers
from Math's man purse.

It's a carry-all.

But that's not the point.

I mean, here I am, feeling guilty

for accusing you of
lying and stealing

and telling Ryan that
he's wrong about you,

and that is exactly what
you're doing.

Cate, ease up.
Not everybody is a valedictorian.

Maybe Lux wouldn't have felt

like she had to cheat if you
hadn't been riding her so hard

- ...to get good grades.
- Yeah, or if you hadn't forced her

to sign up for basketball

- ...when she was already struggling.
- Guys...

I want her to know that
there is more to life

- ...than getting "A's".
- Yes, there's always the pride

of making the team
and joining the jocks

- ...in the cheating ring.
- All right, stop!

Look, this is how it is.

I've never had a parent

to help me with my homework.

I've never gone to a school

where they've actually given
a crap about how I did.

I've never had a hobby,
I've never played a sport.

I have never... I've never
taken piano lessons.

Parent-teacher conferences-
I was always minus the parent.

But what you're doing,
thinking that you can just

sign me up

or-or make me some flash cards,
and I'll be you.

I'm... trying,

but it's not working.

So, if-if you want a
daughter that's you...

...I'm sorry, but I think
you've got the wrong kid.

Your new thinking spot?

So how bad is it?

Am I suspended?

I got it knocked
down to detention.

But there's something else.

They're working with the
school to get you a tutor.

No, I-I don't need a tutor.

Look, I'm... sorry that I...

I lied to you,

I'm sorry I cheated, it's just...

I need them to stop
pressuring me to be them.

That's crap, Lux.

Yes, they want you
to be like them.

What parent doesn't?

But that's not why you're upset.

I think you're upset because
you're not who you want to be.

Deep down,

you want to be like them, too.

Hey.

Hey.

Sure it's cool I called?

Well, we need a roommate,
you need a room.

But I will tell you this.

If you burn down this loft,
I will kill you.

Sweet.

Baze?

Lux, hey.

What are you doing?

I, uh,

I want you to teach me...

How to do this.

All of this.

I mean, you don't have
to do this for me.

I want to do this for me, too.

You know, you should
have seen Paige as a kid.

Nobody could handle her.

She...

Remember this one time, she had,
she had chocolate icing

all over her face,
and she would just flat-out deny

she ever touched the cake.

She was so convincing,
you almost believed her.

I don't know,
maybe I just wanted to.

Yeah, I think we all want to
see the good in people we love.

You know, when you love people,

you give them second chances.

And thirds and...

And a million.

Yeah, I'd do it for Lux and...

God knows, you've done it for me.

I shouldn't have given you

such a hard time about
doing it for Paige.

You know, maybe there's a
way that we can help her

that fixes things for
more than just Paige.

For our whole family.

Math, hey.

Yeah, she's back on the team.

I know, yeah?

Oh, dude, I am dying
to help coach,

but work, you know.

I don't know, maybe on weekends.

Oh, dude, I got to go.

Hey.

Bruce Jackson called.

Oh. To what, get me fired?

He said he would love to
sign at Fenmore financial.

Yeah, he seems to think
we make a great team.

Um, said your honesty
was refreshing.

And that he was sure you would

always give it to him straight.

why's your face like that?

Because I busted my butt

to sign him, and you charm him

by doing the one thing
I told you not to do.

It's more depressing than an
episode of the biggest loser.

I'm sorry...

I told you to lie.

Apparently, who you are is
more appealing than I realized.

Thanks?

And, um...

If you need a couple
hours each week

because of the kid,
the illegitimate one...

that can probably be arranged.

Jones.

Hey.

We should talk.

I know you must hate me.

For lying to you.

I don't hate you, Lux.

I mean, I wish I did.

It would make things easier.

I lied, too, okay?

When I said I wanted to
just go out as friends.

I've wanted to be more
than friends with you

since I met you.

And since Bug is
out of the picture,

and this other guy was
over before it started...

I don't know.

Maybe... there's a chance for us.

Either now or down the road.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Eric?

Wh-what are you doing here?

Math didn't tell you?

I'm your new tutor.

All right, Lebron,
the first thing you need

is a killer crossover.

But in order to get one of those,

you're gonna have to learn how
to dribble with both hands.

So... right then left...

Hey, Baze. Yeah?

Hey, uh...

What's this?

It's ten grand.

It's Paige's debt.

Whoa.

Um, are you sure?

You guys don't need to do this.

Yeah, we... we talked about it.

You shouldn't be on the
hook for the money.

You know, if she actually
manages to pay you back,

you could just slip it to us.

Thanks, man.

All right.

We gonna play or what?

Yes, we're gonna play.

All right, so, uh, Lux.

Ryan, you guys want to
be on the same team?

I don't know. Ryan?

He might be afraid that I will

steal the ball!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

I deserve that. I deserve that.

Oh, I got a better idea.

I got a better idea.

How about, uh...

How about guys versus girls?

All right.

Baze and I will be on
the same team for once.

You ready?

Yeah, we're ready.

One, two...
