Switched at Birth (2011–2017): Season 1, Episode 28 - We Are the Kraken of Our Own Sinking Ships - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON
"SWITCHED AT BIRTH"...

- I THINK I'M--
- HUNG UP ON SOMEONE ELSE.

I DON'T WANNA BE
HUNG UP ON HIM.

YOUR SHIFT IS OVER.

GOOD NIGHT.

I'M NIKKI.
DO YOU HAVE AN ELECTRIC?

- LET'S ROCK.
- CHRISTIAN ROCK?

BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW
I FEEL ABOUT DATING A WOMAN

WHO'S TECHNICALLY STILL
ON HER HONEYMOON!

PATRICK! COME ON!

SIMONE DIDN'T
BREAK UP WITH ME.



SHE HAD SEX
WITH EMMETT.

GET OFF ME!

- WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
- NO WAY.

THIS GUY BETTER WATCH OUT
THAT I DON'T FIND HIM, MAN.

IT'S ON NOW.

I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.

UH, YOU'RE HERE EARLY.

I GOT LOTS
OF CHOPPING TO DO.

I SHOULD, UH...

LOOK, UH,

ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT.

YEAH.

THAT CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

YEAH. OKAY.



YEAH.

SO, UH--

SO.

- ARE YOU STILL SEEING MELODY?
- NO, I ENDED THAT.

OKAY.

OKAY.

( exhales ) OKAY.

OKAY.
UM...

MM-HMM.
( chuckles )

YOUR HAIR'S WORSE
THAN MINE.

UH, YEAH. SERIOUSLY.

I GOT WHEAT PASTE STUCK
IN IT A COUPLE OF TIMES.

IT TOOK LIKE FIVE
WASHES TO GET IT OUT.

- YOU SHOULD JUST GET DREADS.
- REALLY?

LIKE, HOW WOULD
THAT WORK?

IT'S SO EASY.
YOU JUST DON'T
WASH IT FOR A FEW WEEKS,

AND THEN YOU START
TWISTING IT.

DUDE, I CAN DO IT FOR YOU.

- SWEET!
- YEAH.

OR YOU COULD CUT IT
ALL OFF.

- GOD, I DID THAT ONCE.
IT WAS SO LIBERATING.
- ( Bay laughs )

BAY?

OH. HEY!

HOW WAS THE LUNCHEON?
UM, MY MOM GOT THIS

ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN LIKE
SOME PARENTING MAGAZINE

AND SHE HAD TO GO
TO THIS LUNCH THING.

- UH, SWEETIE,
WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE?
- WHY IS YOUR CAR PAINTED FUNNY?

OH! WE'RE BOMBING IT.
RIGHT? ISN'T IT KILLER?

- HEY.
- HI.

- ( whispers ) HONEY...
- OH! SORRY.

THIS IS MY FRIEND ZARRA.
SHE IS ALSO A STREET ARTIST.

ZARRA, THESE ARE MY PARENTS
JOHN AND KATHRYN.

HEY. WHAT'S UP?
NICE TO MEET YOU.

- HELLO.
- NICE TO MEET YOU.

YEAH, YOU TOO.
CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR ARTICLE, KATHRYN.

THANK YOU.

I SHOULD PROBABLY READ IT.
MIGHT MAKE ME A BETTER MOM
TO MY OWN KIDS.

OH.

( chuckles )

I'M KIDDING, DUDE.

- ( laughing )
- ARE YOU CRAZY?

YOU SHOULD HAVE
SEEN YOUR FACE.

- YOU WERE FREAKING OUT.
- OH MY GOD!

- YOU TOTALLY GOT ME!
I SO BELIEVED YOU!
- I KNOW, RIGHT?

BAY, I REALLY WISH YOU'D
TALK TO US BEFORE YOU
PAINTED THE CAR.

WHY? IT'S MINE, RIGHT?

UH, WELL, NOT REALLY.

I BELIEVE IT'S--

YOU KNOW WHAT?
IF YOU GUYS ARE THIRSTY,

YOU CAN COME INSIDE
FOR SOME LEMONADE
OR ICED TEA.

ALL RIGHT, AWESOME.
HEY, BY THE WAY,

I'M GONNA GET DREADS!

- JUST TWIST, RIGHT?
- YOU'VE GOT SO MUCH HAIR.

- Bay: YEAH, I KNOW.
IT'S A LOT.
- MORE THAN ME.

( theme music playing )

Regina:
WELL, OKAY.
DID THIS GIRL DO ANYTHING?

SHE WAS JUST SO FLIPPANT,
SO COMFORTABLE AROUND US.

( mocking )
"KATHRYN."

( scoffs )
AND SHE HAS THESE
TATTOOS THAT ARE

BASICALLY SAYING,
"MY PRIVATE PARTS
ARE FLYING."

- FLYING?
- SHE HAS WINGS...
DOWN THERE.

BUT THAT'S NOT EVERYTHING.

I THINK THAT BAY
HAS FIGURED IT OUT.

FIGURED WHAT OUT?

( sighs )
THAT WE, YOU KNOW--

THAT WE'RE POWERLESS.

THAT WE DON'T
ACTUALLY MATTER.

THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
OF COURSE YOU DO.

NOT TO BAY.
NOT ANYMORE.

WE'VE TRIED GROUNDING HER,

WE'VE TRIED APPEALING
TO HER BETTER SELF,

BUT NOTHING WORKS.

KATHRYN, ALL YOU CAN DO

IS HOPE YOU'VE INSTILLED
THEM WITH A LITTLE SENSE.

I WOULDN'T RELIVE REGINA'S
TEENAGE YEARS FOR ANYTHING.

DID SHE HAVE A FRIEND
LIKE THIS ZARRA?

SHE WAS THAT FRIEND.

I WASN'T THAT BAD.

SO WHAT DID YOU DO?

YOU KNOW WHAT HELPED
AT LEAST A LITTLE,

WERE THOSE ART CLASSES.
IT GAVE ME SOMETHING TO DO

BESIDES JUST HANGING OUT
AND DRINKING.

IT'S TRUE.
SHE WON'T MISS CAKE

IF YOU GIVE HER
ICE CREAM.

EXACTLY. YOU JUST
NEED TO GIVE HER

ANOTHER SOURCE
OF SUGAR SHOCK.

OKAY, SO I TAKE OFF
MY SUNGLASSES AND I SAY

IN MY BEST JAMES BOND,

( British accent )
"I DO APOLOGIZE OFFICER,

BUT IN ENGLAND WE DRIVE
ON THE LEFT SIDE."

( weak chuckle )

OH, SHOOT.

I'M DOING A BRITISH ACCENT

AND YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL.

I CAN, HOWEVER,
SEE THE...

BIZARRE WAY YOU'RE
MOVING YOUR EYEBROWS.

( both chuckling )

YOU KNOW,
I WAS THINKING THAT

ME AND YOU SHOULD
HANG OUT SOMETIME--

ASIDE FROM WORK,
LIKE GO ON A BIKE RIDE

OR, I DON'T KNOW,
SHOP FOR HATS.

JUST ANYTHING
NOT FOOD-RELATED.

NO FOOD.

OH, SCUBA...

OH. GOD.

OKAY. AWKWARD.

I'M JUST KINDA SEEING
SOMEBODY RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT. UM,
I SHOULD HAVE FIGURED.

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

REALLY. IT'S, UH--
IT'S COOL.

GUYS, ON THE MOVE.

- YES, CHEF.
- YES, CHEF.

HONEY?

HEY!

SO MANY GIRLS WOULD KILL
TO HAVE YOUR HAIR.

I'M NOT SHAVING
IT OFF, MOM.

YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO
I RAN INTO

AT THE MAGAZINE LUNCHEON
TODAY.

ALEX'S PARENTS.

ALEX, MY BOYFRIEND FROM
THE GALAPAGOS' PARENTS?

TURNS OUT THEY GO
TO THE SAME CHURCH AS US,
WHICH YOU NEVER MENTIONED.

BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T GONE
TO CHURCH IN NINE MONTHS.

DID YOU KNOW THAT ALEX
IS A WONDERFUL SINGER?

HE WAS THE LEAD IN
"ANNIE GET YOUR GUN"
AND "GYPSY."

THIS IS GOING SOMEWHERE
I'M NOT GONNA LIKE.

AND HE'S A NATIONAL
MERIT SCHOLAR

- AND HE WORKS AT A TEEN LINE.
- WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

AND THEY'RE ALL COMING
TO DINNER THIS SATURDAY NIGHT.

BINGO!

ALEX SEEMS LIKE A GREAT KID
AND YOU TWO HAD A WONDERFUL
TIME THIS SUMMER.

MOM, WE BROKE UP.
IT'S GONNA BE

SUPER AWKWARD!

I INVITED REGINA.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHY
YOU'RE DOING THIS.

YOUR DAD AND I COULD USE
SOME NEW FRIENDS.

AND IT'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE
TO RECONNECT WITH ALEX.

THAT'S IT.

MOM. MOM!

THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK!

( electric guitars playing )

WAIT, GO BACK TO WHAT
YOU WERE DOING BEFORE.

WHAT? UH, THIS?

YEAH. GOSH,
THAT IS AWESOME.

I COULD TOTALLY HEAR THAT
ON A LAP STEEL.

OH, DON'T TELL ME
YOU'RE COUNTRY, TOO.

RIGHT.
CHRISTIAN YOU CAN HANDLE,

BUT COUNTRY-- THAT IS
JUST OVER THE LINE.

( both laughing )

SO...

I KNOW THAT THIS IS
WAY TOO EARLY,

BUT I REALLY LOVE
YOUR PLAYING,

AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO

BREAK OUT
OF THE SOLO THING.

AND THERE'S THIS
BATTLE OF THE BANDS
COMING UP NEXT MONTH

AND-- I DON'T KNOW.
I WAS JUST WONDERING

IF MAYBE YOU WANTED TO
WORK UP A FEW SONGS
OR SOMETHING.

OH. UM...

IT DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE A THING.

( sighs ) SORRY,
I'M FREAKING YOU OUT,

AREN'T I?

NO NO.
UH, I JUST--

I RECENTLY GOT OUT
OF THIS BAND SITUATION

THAT ENDED KIND OF WEIRD.

RIGHT.

WELL, IT'S NOT
THE RIGHT TIME.
I GET IT.

YEAH, BUT, YOU KNOW,
WE CAN STILL HANG OUT,

TRADE SONGS, GO TO ROY'S.

YOU KNOW ROY'S?
I LOVE THAT PLACE.

THEY HAVE THE BEST GEAR,
BUT...

Both: THE WORST STAFF.

( chuckles )

I THINK I SINGLE-HANDEDLY
KEPT THEM IN BUSINESS LAST YEAR.

WELL. THEN ON BEHALF
OF GEARHEADS EVERYWHERE...

( both laughing )

MEG, DON'T KILL THE TOMATOES.
GET A SHARPER KNIFE.

WHAT?

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
WE'RE NOW THROWING BOYS
AT THE PROBLEM?

WE'RE NOT
THROWING BOYS AT HER,

WE'RE REDIRECTING HER.

WE'RE PRESENTING HER WITH
A MORE ATTRACTIVE OPTION
THAN THAT GIRL.

OKAY, LET ME TELL
YOU SOMETHING.

WHEN I WAS A KID,
MY DAD'S WORD WAS LAW.

NO NEGOTIATING,
NO REDIRECTING.

YOU DID WHAT YOU
WERE TOLD...

- ...OR ELSE.
- YEAH.

IS THAT REALLY HOW
YOU WANNA RAISE BAY AND TOBY?

I DIDN'T TURN OUT SO BAD.

( sighs ) AND YOU BARELY
TALKED TO YOUR FATHER
AFTER YOU LEFT HOME.

( sighs )
DIDN'T BAY ALREADY
REJECT THIS KID?

YEAH. WELL, THAT'S WHEN
SHE WAS STILL HURTING
FROM EMMETT.

MAYBE SHE'LL FEEL
DIFFERENTLY NOW.

( sighs deeply )

LIQUOR STORE
OR GROCERIES?

BAY AND TOBY ARE
FUNDAMENTALLY GOOD KIDS.

I KNOW.

I ALSO KNOW THAT
THAT IS LARGELY
DUE TO YOU.

SO THEN TRUST ME
ON THIS.

OKAY.

( rock music playing )

HEY!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'M JUST LOOKING
FOR MY PHONE.

WHAT'S IT TO YOU?

WELL, I HAPPEN TO KNOW
THE OWNER OF THIS CAR.

- AND IT'S NOT YOU.
- UH, YEAH. RELAX.

I HAPPEN TO KNOW
THE OWNER TOO.

HEY!
( chuckles )

I GOT YOU A MOCHA.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- I'M GOING TO WORK.
- Bay: COOL.

I SEE THAT YOU MET ZARRA.

YEAH, SHE THOUGHT I WAS
TRYING TO BOOST YOUR CAR.

( laughs )
WELL, YOU'RE NOT.

UH, SO THIS IS DAPHNE.

UH, DAPHNE IS THE OTHER
KENNISH-VASQUEZ.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

YOU TOO.

ARE YOU READY?
WE SHOULD GET GOING.

- YEAH, DID YOU GET
THE PAINT?
- YEAH YEAH.

- I'M GOOD. LET'S GO.
- OKAY. COOL.

HEY, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT
AT WORK

AND I GUESS
I'LL SEE YOU AT HOME?

( music continues )

NO! NO NO NO NO NO.

OH GOD.

( groans )

- WHAT'S WRONG?
- DOES THAT LOOK POACHED TO YOU?

UH, MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE
ANOTHER BATCH.

THIS IS EVERYTHING, DAPHNE.

ALL THE SHRIMP?

MAYBE WE CAN SAVE IT?

AS LONG AS CHEF
DOESN'T SEE.

HE'S GONNA FIRE ME.

I KNOW IT.

UNLESS YOU TAKE
THE BULLET FOR ME.

- IF YOU SAY IT WAS YOU--
- I DON'T WANNA GET FIRED!

COME ON, DAPHNE.
HE'S NOT GONNA FIRE YOU.

WHY NOT?

LOOK, I NEED THIS JOB.

HE'S GONNA BE IN HERE
ANY MINUTE.

PLEASE?

Patrick:
THIS WAS A NICE SURPRISE.

I JUST THOUGHT WE SHOULDN'T BE
ONE OF THOSE COUPLES THAT JUST

- DRIFTS APART.
- ( chuckles ) WELL, TO
BE FAIR, WE DIDN'T JUST DRIFT,

WE KINDA HAD
A GIANT OBSTACLE
THROWN IN OUR WAY.

IT'S A FAKE MARRIAGE.

AND I DON'T THINK IT'S
A GOOD ENOUGH REASON

FOR US TO JUST
CALL IT QUITS.

SO YOU ARE GONNA HAVE
TO GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE.

I GOT NOTHIN'.

EXACTLY.

- I'VE MISSED YOU.
- I KNOW.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING TONIGHT?

UM, I'M SUPPOSED TO JOIN
THE KENNISHES FOR DINNER.

MM. WITH DAPHNE?

NO. JUST ME.

KATHRYN'S TRYING TO KEEP
BAY AWAY FROM THIS GIRL
THAT SHE'S BEEN

HANGING OUT WITH.
IT'S A LONG STORY.

SOCIALIZING WITH THE KENNISHES
WITHOUT THE KIDS?
IS THIS A FIRST?

YEAH. I GUESS SO.

NOW I REALLY WANT YOU
TO COME.

I'M THERE.

YAY.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!

WHAT, ARE WE SERVING
SHRIMP-FLAVORED CRAP TONIGHT?

WHERE'S SCUBA?

UM, RIGHT HERE, CHEF.

HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS
OF PREMIUM GOLF SHRIMP THAT
I HAVE TO DUMP IN THE TRASH.

SO WE 86 THE SHRIMP TOSTADA,
THE SHRIMP PISTOU.

WE CUT THE GARNISH OFF
OF THE SQUASH SOUP.

AND I BETTER COME UP
WITH A NEW WAY TO DO
THE RISOTTO, HUH?

ALL BECAUSE MY PREP COOK
DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO POACH!

HE DIDN'T DO IT.

I DID.

YOU DID?

I TOLD SCUBA I'D DO IT,
BUT I WAS MAKING THE SAUCE

AND I JUST--
I LET THEM OVERCOOK.

YOU KNOW WHAT
POACHING IS, RIGHT?

IT'S KNOWING HOW TO KEEP
THE HEAT TURNED TO LOW.
THAT'S IT.

I KNOW.

SO IF YOU CAN'T GRASP THAT,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL
YOU'RE DOING IN MY KITCHEN.

SCUBA, GO TELL THE MANAGER
TO TAKE THE SHRIMP DISHES
OFF THE MENU.

THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING.
PERO QUE GUAPO.

OH, THANKS.
YOU LOOK NICE.

DO I HAVE
TWO DATES TONIGHT?

NO. GLORIA AND I
ARE GOING OUT FOR
INDIAN FOOD.

WHICH REGINA HATES.

YES, SO I GET IT
AS MUCH AS I CAN
WHEN I'M OUT.

AND THEN THEY'RE HITTING
THE SLOTS AT THAT
RIVERBOAT CASINO.

♪ I'M FEELING LUCKY. ♪
HAVE FUN TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW,
I'M FEELING LUCKY TOO.

HMM. HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

- ( cellphone rings )
- OH! COULD YOU?

- OH, YEAH.
- THANKS.

UM.

HEY.

( sighs )
HOW COULD YOU
FORGET HIS NAME?

YOU MET HIM, DIDN'T YOU?

HANG ON, I HAVE IT
WRITTEN DOWN.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE
STILL THIS BAD AT NAMES.

MOSLEY.

OKAY.
THAT'S A LITTLE WEIRD.

( chuckles )

STOP IT.

NO, I'M SERIOUS,
OKAY? STOP.

LISTEN, I GOTTA GO.
DINNER PLANS.

OKAY. BYE.

I'M SORRY.
HE, UM,

CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME
OF KATHRYN'S FRIEND

THAT'S HE'S UP THERE
WORKING FOR.

HEY. NONE OF
MY BUSINESS, REALLY.

HE'S JUST TERRIBLE
WITH NAMES.

REALLY. IT'S OKAY.

( quietly ) OKAY.

- HI, COME ON IN.
IT'S SO NICE TO SEE YOU.
- HI!

- NICE TO SEE YOU.
- JOHN, THIS IS CHERYL.

- AND YOU MUST BE TED.
- HI, HOW ARE YOU?
THIS IS FOR YOU.

- THANK YOU!
- HEY, TED.

THANK YOU.
OH, AND ALEX. HELLO.

- NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
- HEY, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

- HI.
- WHY DON'T YOU COME IN.

PLEASE.

OH, WHAT A LOVELY HOME.

- BAY, THEY'RE HERE!
- SHE'LL BE DOWN
IN A SECOND.

- OH, I'M COOL. THANKS.
- SORRY WE'RE LATE.

OUR YOUNGEST HAD
A FENCING MATCH.

- OH, WOW!
- HE'S FIFTH IN THE STATE.

AND YOU KNOW HOW COLLEGES LOVE
THOSE OFF-THE-BEATEN-TRACK
ATHLETICS.

- MM-HMM.
- RIGHT RIGHT.

WELL, I'M SURE YOUR KIDS
ARE DOING THE SAME
COLLEGE TAP DANCE.

- YEAH.
- YEAH YEAH.

DYLAN DOES SOUP KITCHEN
ON THURSDAYS,

VOLUNTEERS AT THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE ON SATURDAYS.

- IT NEVER ENDS.
- OH.

WELL, HERE SHE IS!

- ( nervous chuckle )
- HI.

- HI.
- OH. WELL, I CAN
CERTAINLY SEE WHY

ALEX CAN'T STOP
TALKING ABOUT YOU.

- OH.
- ( whispers ) MOM.

- HEY.
- HEY.

JOIN ME FOR AN APERITIF?

YEAH-- WHY NOT?

- ( nervous chuckle )
- APERITIF. HA.

- WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO
IN THE DEN?
- SURE.

UH, LOOK.
I'M SO SORRY
ABOUT ALL OF THIS.

OH, IT'S COOL.
I WAS LOOKING FOR A WAY
TO SEE YOU AGAIN TOO.

OH, NO! I DIDN'T.
TRUST ME, THIS WASN'T MY IDEA.

OH.

OH, NO. IT'S JUST--
MY PARENTS ARE FREAKING OUT

ABOUT SOME FRIENDS
OF... MINE.

NEVER MIND. UH...

UH. WELL, I'LL JUST
GO SEE WHAT MY FOLKS
ARE UP TO.

( guitar chord playing )

HEY, BRO. LET ME KNOW IF
YOU WANNA PLUG ANYTHING
IN, ALL RIGHT?

UH, THANKS.
I THINK WE'RE
JUST LOOKING.

UH, ACTUALLY, CAN I SEE
THIS ONE UP HERE?

THAT'S A '72 GIBSON
LES PAUL RIGHT THERE.

PRETTY HEAVY SOUND.

OH, IT'S SO PRETTY.

YES, IT IS.
BUT LOOKS CAN
BE DECEIVING.

GO EASY THERE.

OH. WOW, IT'S HEAVY.

WELL, WE DO GOT SOME
FENDER SQUIRES
IN THE BACK.

REALLY MELODIOUS.
MIGHT BE BETTER FOR YOU.

( plays impressive chord )

I THINK SHE'S
DONE THIS BEFORE.

RIGHT.

YOU LET ME KNOW IF YOU
NEED ANYTHING ELSE, OKAY?

WILL DO.

HAVING FUN?

COME ON, I COULDN'T
JUST LET THAT GO.
HE WAS TOO EASY.

( cellphone rings )

"DOODLES"?

I KNOW. IT'S RANDOM.

IT'S MY BOYFRIEND, JED.

HEY!

CAN I CALL YOU BACK?

OKAY. COOL.

YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND.

YEAH.

HUH.

WHAT'S WRONG?

OH, NOTHING. NO.

HE GOES TO K.S.A.C.

IT'S AN AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.

HE'S A FARM BOY.

( sighs )
LONG DISTANCE--
IT KINDA SUCKS,

BUT IT IS
WHAT IT IS.

RIGHT.

I'M SORRY.
I GUESS I SHOULD
HAVE MENTIONED THAT.

UM...

I JUST DIDN'T FIND
A CONVENIENT PLACE
TO STICK IT IN

SO IT WOULDN'T SOUND
TOTALLY PRESUMPTUOUS.

CAN I PLAY SOMETHING
FOR YOU?

TRY TO PUSH PAST THIS
INCREDIBLY AWKWARD MOMENT.

SURE. WHY NOT?

SO, TURNS OUT,
THEIR SON WAS TRYING
TO BRIBE ALEX HERE

INTO TAKING
THE S.A.T. FOR HIM.

'CAUSE BOTH OF OUR KIDS
ACE STANDARDIZED TESTS.

- DAD.
- HEY, IT'S TRUE.

IT'S TRUE. IT'S ONE OF
THE HAZARDS OF BEING
SO BRIGHT.

- ( weak chuckle )
- HUH.

DO YOU TWO HAVE CHILDREN?

UM, NO--
I MEAN, YES.
BUT NOT TOGETHER.

( whispers )
WELL, THERE'S
ALWAYS TIME.

NO.
I DON'T THINK SO.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN MARRIED?

WELL, ACTUALLY,
REGINA'S MARRIED--

- YOU KNOW, THREE MONTHS.
- OH. HEY!

- NEWLYWEDS!
- YEAH, KINDA.

- WOW!
- CONGRATULATIONS!

YEAH.
CONGRATULATIONS.

- CHEERS.
- CHEERS.

- YAY.
- ( cellphone ringing )

( chattering )

BAY, NO CELLPHONES
AT THE TABLE.

UM. SORRY, I FORGOT.
I HAD A-- YOU KNOW WHAT?

- I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
JUST TWO SECONDS.
- HONEY, NO--

- HELLO?
- Zarra: It's me.
I'm in the county jail.

WHAT?! YOU MEAN,
LIKE "JAIL" JAIL?

Yeah, I got jumped
by Smak and some
of his boys.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
LIKE YOU WERE BEAT UP?
ARE YOU OKAY?

- WAIT, WHY WERE YOU ARRESTED?
- Look, I gotta go.
I'll explain it all later,

but, um, I need you
to come down here
and bail me out.

NO, OF COURSE.
I GET IT.

It's $1500.

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

But you can pull it
together, right?

I, UH... DON'T KNOW.

Look, I don't have
anybody else to call.

I wouldn't ask you
if I did.

I gotta get out
of here.

I'LL BE THERE
AS SOON AS I CAN.

( laughter )

NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE!

I SWEAR TO GOD.
IT REALLY HAPPENED.

HEY, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
IT WAS THE WRONG NUMBER.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I JUST GOT THIS GREAT IDEA.

WHY DON'T ALEX AND I
GO OUT FOR GELATO

DOWN AT THE NEW PLACE
BY THE CROSSROADS?

WELL, I MADE YOUR FAVORITE
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE, HONEY.

YEAH, BUT I CAN BRING
BACK SOME FOR EVERYBODY.

YOU LOVE THE TOASTED
ALMOND, AM I RIGHT?

ALEX, YOU GAME?

YEAH, SURE.
I MEAN, IF YOU GUYS--

- GO!
- TERRIFIC.

BRING ME BACK
SOME STRACCIATELLA.

- HAVE FUN!
- BYE.

I JUST CAME IN
FOR SOME EGGS.
I CAN GET 'EM LATER.

( loudly )
NO, YOU WON'T.

WE HAVE TO TALK
ABOUT THAT SHRIMP.

OKAY.

( quietly )
I'M SORRY I HAD TO
YELL AT YOU LIKE THAT.

( loudly )
I REALLY HOPE TO HELL
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

( quietly )
I HAVE TO TREAT YOU JUST
LIKE ANY OTHER EMPLOYEE,

EVEN THOUGH I REALLY WANT
TO KISS YOU RIGHT NOW.

( loudly )
I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

GOOD!

AND GET BACK
TO WORK!

I'M GLAD WE HAD
THIS TALK.

ME TOO.

DOES TOBY HAVE ANYTHING THAT
HE CAN PUT ON HIS COLLEGE
APPLICATIONS?

- ANYTHING?
- HE HAS LACROSSE.

YEAH, WHICH HE QUIT.
AND THE BAND, WHICH
HE DISBANDED.

YEAH, I WANTED TO
DO THOSE PRODIGY CDs
WHEN I WAS PREGNANT,

- BUT YOU SAID THEY WERE STUPID.
- AND BAY HAS NEVER DONE
ANYTHING AT BUCKNER.

WHAT ABOUT THE TEACHER
RECOMMENDATIONS?

HAVE WE EVEN STARTED
ON THOSE?

- YOU'RE HAVING A PANIC ATTACK.
- BY THE WAY, HOW COULD YOU LET

HER WALK AROUND THE STREETS
OF KANSAS CITY AT THIS TIME
OF NIGHT?

SHE'S GETTING ICE CREAM.
I DON'T KNOW--

OH, HI.
I'M SO SORRY.

WE'LL BE OUT
IN A MINUTE.

I WAS WONDERING IF WE
COULD PLAY SOME MUSIC.

- OH. SURE.
- YEAH.

ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR?

WELL, I TEACH SALSA
AT K.C.C.C.

AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE
KINDA FUN TO GET EVERYONE
UP AND MOVING.

OH.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
DOESN'T IT, HONEY?

YEAH, IT'S GREAT.

I'LL JUST GO
POP IN A CD.

I HAVE A FEW
IN MY PURSE.

AT LEAST WE WON'T
HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT
THEIR KIDS ANYMORE.

( playing a slow melody )

♪ I CAN'T PAINT ♪

♪ A NEW PICTURE ♪

♪ WITH A MIND
THAT'S MOSTLY FULL ♪

♪ OHH OHH ♪

♪ AS HARD
AS YOU'VE MADE IT ♪

♪ AS MUCH
AS I'VE HATED YOU ♪

♪ YOU TAUGHT ME
SOMETHING TRUE ♪

♪ IT'S TIME
TO FORGET YOU ♪

♪ THIS IS HOW I DO. ♪

( music stops )

I HOPE WHOEVER BROKE YOUR HEART
ACTUALLY GOT TO HEAR THAT.

WE ACTUALLY NEVER MET.

UM...

IT'S ABOUT THE MAN
WHO SHOT MY DAD.

OH, GOD. I'M--

I'M SORRY.

HE WAS PARKED
AT THE MALL

AND SOME GUY WALKED UP
TO HIM AND SHOT HIM.

THE POLICE FIGURE THAT
THE GUY MUST HAVE THOUGHT

MY DAD WAS SOMEBODY ELSE.

THAT'S AWFUL.

THE POLICE NEVER FOUND
THE GUY.

SO...

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT'S
THE SONG THAT YOU WROTE...

ABOUT THAT.

WELL. IT'S BEEN
A COUPLE YEARS

AND I WROTE A LOT
OF ANGRY SONGS FIRST.

AND THEN I STARTED DOING
A LOT OF DRUGS...

AND STOPPED EATING.

AND THEN MY MOM
FREAKED OUT ON ME

BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID
THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE TOO,

LIKE AMY WINEHOUSE
OR SOMETHING.
( chuckles )

I JUST GOT SO TIRED
OF LETTING THIS HORRIBLE THING

THAT HAPPENED
CONSUME MY ENTIRE LIFE.

SO I DECIDED TO
LET IT GO.

JUST LIKE THAT.

MM. KIND OF.

I WAS JUST SO ANGRY
ALL OF THE TIME

AND I DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW IT.

IT WAS, LIKE,
EATING ME UP.

AND I JUST DECIDED
TO NOT LET IT WIN.

Alex: YOU KNOW AT SOME POINT
WE ARE ACTUALLY GONNA HAVE
TO RETURN WITH GELATO.

Bay: THERE'S A $300 LIMIT.

- YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT?
- OKAY, WELL THAT'S
JUST $1200 TO GO.

RIGHT? I DON'T
EVEN HAVE $1500.

I-I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT I WAS THINKING.

ALL RIGHT. WELL,
YOU CLEARLY DON'T NEED ME

OR EVEN KNOW THAT I'M HERE,
SO I'M JUST GONNA LET YOU
DEAL WITH WHATEVER--

DO YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT?
I WILL PAY YOU BACK,
I PROMISE.

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY ASKING ME
FOR CASH RIGHT NOW?

YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU'RE MY COVER.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.

YOU DUMP ME OUT
OF THE BLUE FOR YOUR EX,

THEN YOUR PARENTS INVITE
ME OVER AGAINST YOUR WILL,

THINKING I'M SOME LOSER
WHO WILL KEEP YOU
OUT OF TROUBLE--

THEY DO NOT THINK
YOU'RE A LOSER.

YOU USE ME TO DITCH
DINNER AND CHAUFFEUR
YOU AROUND

- AS YOU COMPILE A MASSIVE
AMOUNT OF MONEY...
- FIRST OF ALL, I DROVE--

...FOR SOME
MYSTERY PHONE CALL--

MY FRIEND IS IN JAIL!

AND I NEED
TO COME UP WITH

$1500 TO
BAIL HER OUT.

( cellphone rings )

- HELLO?
- It's Eight Ball.

OH MY GOD, HI.
ARE YOU WITH ZARRA?

She's still in.
You gotta get her out.

YEAH, UM, I'M TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT A WAY
TO REACH HER.

I DON'T THINK I CAN
GET THAT KIND OF MONEY
TOGETHER IN ONE NIGHT.

- I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO--
- Listen.

She's hurt and there are
people there who wanna
hurt her more.

You gotta figure
it out, okay?

You gotta just
figure it out.

OKAY.

HEY.
WHAT HAPPENED?

WHO WAS THAT?

I KNOW YOU'RE MAD
AND I GET THAT.

BUT WOULD YOU PLEASE
COME WITH ME TO
ONE MORE PLACE?

THANK YOU.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE
A FRIEND NAMED EIGHT BALL.

WE START WITH OUR LEFT.
WE GO FORWARD WITH OUR LEFT.

ONE, TWO, THREE-- BACK--
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.

ONE, TWO--

OTHER FOOT-- BACK.
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.

- WHAT HAPPENED TO FOUR?
- FOUR IS A PAUSE.

- FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.
- PAUSE.

ONE, TWO, THREE,

FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.

LOOKING GOOD, LADIES!

- GOOD, GUYS.
- "SALSA" MEANS SAUCE.
IT'S GOT TO BE SPICY!

AND I GUARANTEE
IF YOU'RE GOOD AT SALSA,

- YOU'RE GOOD AT
SOMETHING ELSE.
- ( all laugh ) OH!

YOU GUYS GET THIS DOWN
AND WE'LL MOVE ON
TO THE MAMBO.

DON'T EVEN JOKE
ABOUT THAT.

- LET'S TRY A TURN.
- A TURN?!

ONE, PIVOT, THREE, PIVOT.

- FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.
- HEY, HOW COME YOU'RE
SO GOOD AT THIS?

- I WAS A CHEERLEADER.
- YES, YOU WERE...

HEY, SWEETIE, GET THE MUSIC.
SHOULD WE GET THE MUSIC?

- John and Patrick: NO! NO!
- Regina and Kathryn: YES!

YES, MUSIC!

IT'LL ALL MAKES SENSE
WHEN WE DO IT, OKAY?

- PARTNER UP
LIKE I SHOWED YOU.
- Regina: OKAY OKAY

- OH BOY.
- YOU READY?

IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE.
YOU GOT IT.

- OKAY, SO WE'LL DO ONE BASIC...

WE'LL JUST KEEP GOING.

HONEY, IT'S TOO FAST
FOR ME. I CAN'T DO THIS.

- WELL, JUST LET ME
LEAD THEN.
- OKAY.

AND I'LL TWIRL AROUND YOU.
- I CAN DO THAT.

WATCH THIS!
AY YI YI YI YI!

OOH, DO MY SKIRT.
DO MY SKIRT.

AY YI YI YI YI!

YOU HAVE GOT TO
LOOSEN YOUR HIPS
JUST A LITTLE BIT.

THIS IS AS LOOSE
AS THEY GET.

JUST BEND YOUR KNEES
AND THE HIPS WILL FOLLOW.

WHAT, LATINAS ARE BORN
KNOWING SALSA?

OF COURSE NOT.

I HAD A FEW LESSONS.

- ( groans )
- ALL RIGHT. OH!

YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO DIP ME.

WELL, I DIDN'T TAKE
THE LESSONS.

PATRICK.

IT WAS 17 YEARS AGO.

YOU CAN'T BE MAD
THAT ANGELO AND I HAD
A FEW DANCE LESSONS.

GREAT DANCERS; GREAT SEX.

I NEVER SAID THAT.

WHY IS IT HIS NAME
ALWAYS COMES UP

NO MATTER WHAT
WE'RE DOING?

- I DIDN'T BRING HIM UP
- ( music stops )

OKAY, THAT'S GREAT!
LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.

EXCUSE ME.

- ( music starts )
- EXCUSE ME.

OKAY, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

THE GUY LIVES
30 FEET FROM YOU,

YOU HAVE A HISTORY,
A KID-- I CAN NEVER
COMPETE WITH THAT.

I CAN'T ERASE HIM
FROM MY LIFE.

I KEPT THINKING
THAT IT WAS ME,

THAT I WAS MAKING UP
HOW IMPORTANT HE IS TO YOU.

IT'S NOT ME.
HE'S THERE.

THE MARRIAGE IS JUST SO
HE CAN STAY IN THE COUNTRY.

YOU KNOW THAT.

I CAN HANDLE BEING WITH
A WOMAN IN A FAKE MARRIAGE.

I JUST CAN'T HANDLE BEING
WITH A WOMAN IN A REAL ONE.

( door opens and closes )

DID YOU MOVE ALL
THE SEA BASS?

- YES, CHEF.
- GOOD.

JAVIER, LET'S GET THAT
DUCK IN THE REACH-IN.

THANKS FOR ROLLING
WITH THE 12-TOP, EVERYONE.

I'LL TRY TO FIGURE OUT
WHY IT WASN'T ON THE BOOKS,

BUT, OVERALL,
NOT TOO TERRIBLE
OF A NIGHT FOR US.

SCUBA, I NEED TO
TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND.

YEAH. WHAT'S UP?

YOU'RE OFF THE SCHEDULE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU RUINED HUNDREDS
OF DOLLARS WORTH OF SHRIMP

AND YOU TRIED TO GET YOUR
CO-WORKER TO TAKE THE BLAME.

DAPHNE ASKED
IF SHE COULD--

DAPHNE WAS NOWHERE
NEAR THAT BURNER.

( loudly )
YEAH, I DIDN'T REALIZE

YOU PUT A LO-JACK
ON YOUR GIRLFRIEND.

GET OUT.

GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN

NOW!

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT HAPPENED
IS YOUR BOYFRIEND

JUST FIRED ME,
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

WAIT. WHAT DID YOU
JUST SAY?

YOUR BOYFRIEND JUST
FIRED ME.

THE CODE IS MY DAD'S R.B.I.

THE RESERVE BANK OF INDIA?

( chuckles )
NO, IT'S "RUNS BATTED IN."

AH.

- AH!
- OH MY GOD!

- GET BACK!
- OH, WAIT WAIT WAIT!

I KNOW HIM.
I KNOW HIM.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IT'S BAY--

PUT THE TROPHY DOWN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- IS THIS EMMETT?
- NO, HE'S ANOTHER DEAF GUY.

THIS IS TRAVIS.
HE WORKS FOR MY DAD.

NO! WHAT?!

HEY, WHAT DID HE SAY?

JUST DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

LOOK, I NEED TO BORROW

SOME MONEY FROM THE SAFE.

YOU'RE TAKING MONEY
FROM THE SAFE?

WHAT DID YOU THINK
THAT WE WERE DOING?

I DON'T KNOW!

IT'S FOR A FRIEND
WHO'S IN TROUBLE.

1,200.

BUT I'M GONNA PAY IT BACK
BY TOMORROW, I PROMISE.

TRAVIS,
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

BELIEVE ME, I WOULD NOT
BE HERE IF IT WASN'T.

ARE YOU SLEEPING HERE?

SO IS HE GONNA DO IT?

NO.

I'M NOT GONNA TELL MY DAD
THAT YOU'RE SLEEPING HERE.

EVEN IF YOU DON'T
OPEN THE SAFE.

HE'S DOING IT.

ME TOO.

- ( groans ) OH.
- HONEY, JUST LEAVE IT.

- TOBY CAN HELP YOU
IN THE MORNING.
- OKAY.

ONLY IF YOU PROMISE NOT
TO DO ANY MORE DISHES.

( exhales )
DONE.

( both sigh deeply )

- BAY IS TAKING ALEX HOME
AND SHE PROMISES...
- OH, NO NO NO NO.

- ...TO BE HOME--
- NO, NOT A WORD!

- WHAT?!
- NO KID TALK!

- BUT--
- NO NO!

( sighs )

THEY'RE NEVER GONNA
GET INTO COLLEGE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

OUR KIDS ARE FINE.

I DON'T WANT A KID
WHO FAKES INTEREST
IN SOME SPORT

FROM THE RENAISSANCE.
COME ON.

OR PRETENDS THEY WANNA
GO STUFF ENVELOPES IN
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE

ON SATURDAYS.
COME ON! WHAT IS THAT?

BUT THOSE ARE THE KIND
OF KIDS THAT ARE GETTING...

- YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU KNOW WHAT?
- ...INTO COLLEGE RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

YOU AND I DESERVE
TO HAVE AN EVENING

WHERE WE PRETEND
THAT THEY DON'T EXIST.

( chuckles )

IT WAS PRETTY FUN
TONIGHT, HUH?

YOU WERE--

YOU WERE INCREDIBLY SEXY
OUT THERE TONIGHT.

AND YOU HAVE
ABSOLUTELY
NO RHYTHM.

- NONE.
- YES I DO.

NO.

YOU'RE STILL HERE.

I JUST--

I CAN'T BELIEVED
YOU FIRED SCUBA.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
THEY ALL KNOW ABOUT US.

HEY. HE WASN'T PULLING
HIS WEIGHT AROUND HERE
FOR SOME TIME NOW.

PROBABLY BECAUSE HE WAS SO BUSY
TRYING TO HELP ME FOLLOW WHAT
WAS GOING ON IN THE KITCHEN.

WHATEVER THE REASON,
HE WASN'T DOING HIS JOB,

SO HE DIDN'T DESERVE
TO KEEP IT.

THEY ALL THINK I'M HERE
BECAUSE OF US.

DO YOU THINK
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE?

NO.

YOU DIDN'T EVEN WANT ME.

EXACTLY.

BUT YOU PROVED YOURSELF
TO ME.

YOU'LL PROVE YOURSELF
TO THEM.

THEY'RE ALL JUST GONNA
LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M...

SOME BIMBO.

LOOK, PEOPLE GOSSIP.

PEOPLE GET FIRED,
SOME PEOPLE ARE JERKS

AND NOT EVERYONE
GETS A TROPHY.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.

HEY. WHAT HAPPENED?

I GAVE THEM THE MONEY,
I GOT A RECEIPT.

THEY TOLD ME THAT
THAT WAS IT.

OKAY, SO WHAT DO
WE DO NOW?

JUST... WAIT FOR HER.

I GUESS.

I SENT MY MOM A TEXT
SAYING THAT WE ENDED
UP EATING AT THE PLACE

AND WE'D BE
A WHILE LONGER.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I--

I AM SO SORRY THAT
I GOT YOU INVOLVED
IN ALL OF THIS.

THINGS WERE A LOT EASIER
IN THE GALAPAGOS, HUH?

YEAH.

Zarra: HEY.

HEY! WHAT--

OH MY GOD,
YOU'RE ALL CUT UP.

YEAH. NO--

I'M OKAY.
I'M OKAY.

- HEY. ALEX.
- YO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, GIRL.

- I OWE YOU.
- WHAT HAPPENED?

I TOLD MOUSE WE SHOULDN'T
HAVE GONE ANYWHERE NEAR
PROSPECT, ALL RIGHT.

I KNEW THOSE GUYS
WOULD BE LOOKING FOR US.

WAIT, US?

WHY DIDN'T YOU
GET ARRESTED?

OH NO, I DID.

LISTEN, UH, THANKS.
YOU KNOW?

TURNS OUT YOU'RE
A LOT COOLER THAN
I THOUGHT.

SO Z, I'LL CATCH YOU

DID YOU MENTION THAT
ON THE PHONE?

YEAH YEAH, I DID. RIGHT?

I DIDN'T?
DUDE, I AM SO SORRY.

THINGS HAVE BEEN
SO CRAZY IN THERE.

ANYWAY, YOU WOULDN'T WANT
TO LEAVE MOUSE HANGING IN
THERE BY HIMSELF, RIGHT?

I MEAN, HE'S ONE OF US.

SO WHERE ARE THE GUYS
WHO JUMPED YOU?

OH, THEY'RE IN THERE.

YEAH, DUDE,
WE ALL GOT DINGED.

THAT'S WHY I HAD
TO GET OUT OF THERE.

ALL RIGHT,

I ACTUALLY HAVE
TO WORK TOMORROW.

UH...

YEAH. ABSOLUTELY.
I'M NOT SKIPPING TOWN, SO--

I'LL SHOW UP FOR MY
COURT DATE. YOU'LL GET IT.

I KINDA NEED IT BEFORE
THE COURT DATE, ACTUALLY.

I NEED IT
LIKE TOMORROW.

WELL, IF I COULD HAVE
GOTTEN TOGETHER THAT
MUCH COIN IN ONE DAY,

I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE
NEEDED TO CALL YOU, RIGHT?

- ZARRA...
- LOOK. LISTEN, I'LL GET
TOGETHER WHATEVER I CAN.

IT'S GONNA BE FINE, OKAY?
I PROMISE.

WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER,
ALL RIGHT?

I REALLY--

OH! UH, ONE MORE THING.

YOU MIGHT NOT WANNA
GO AROUND TO MY SIDE
OF TOWN FOR A WHILE,

'CAUSE THEY KNOW
YOUR CAR.

NOT TOO MANY OF THOSE
CLANGING AROUND K.C., RIGHT?

( chuckles )

( pop music playing )

CAN I COME IN?

( music stops )

SO, UH...

I WAS THINKING ABOUT

STARTING UP
THE BAND AGAIN.

NO.

NEW PEOPLE,
NEW SOUND...

NEW NAME.
