Switched at Birth (2011–2017): Season 1, Episode 4 - Dance Amongst Daggers - full transcript

Previously on "Switched at Birth"...

Oh, I'm not just anybody. I'm...

You're John Kennish.

Nice to see you.

- You look beautiful.
- Thank you.

The Kennishes aren't taking
in boarders, are they?

I mean, they're not having
any financial problems?

She's a little insincere.

I get you a job and it's just another excuse

for you to judge me and my friends.

- Excellent tongue control, Liam.
- What's going on?



- We need a break.
- How about this?

- Do you wanna hang out sometime?
- Yeah.

Bay, this is Ty. He's like my big brother.

- Nice to meet you, Bay.
- See you around, Ty.

Thanks.

Okay, so zombies have taken over the world.

- What's the first thing you do?
- Gather up food and water.

Pfft, wrong. Go for guns.

What are you gonna do for food?

I have a gun, remember?
I'll just take yours.

You like zombie movies, food, sports.

If I even mentioned Derrick
Rose to my last girlfriend,

all I'd get... eye rolls and big snorts.

Wait wait wait wait. Back up.



- What did you say?
- Oh, it always had to be
about her and her latest drama.

No no, I mean, you said last girlfriend.

Does that make me your current girlfriend?

Uh, yeah.

I mean, I was kind of hoping so.

Me too.

But in a zombie apocalypse,
you would still take my food?

Oh absolutely.

Honey, just a heads up... I may have to store

a few things for
the fundraiser in your garage.

What's wrong with Toby's garage?

Well, his band is playing for the party

and they're gonna need
that space to rehearse.

Buckner hall's too cheap
to spring for a real band?

This is about raising money,
not spending it.

And Toby's band is real.

How big of a donation do I have to make

to get out of going?

Honey, this is the first time

everyone will see our
family since everything

and I would like to present a united front,

show that we are a functioning, happy...

So we're a theme park now?

- Um, Regina?
- Oh hey.

You know we're hosting the benefit

for Bay and Toby's school
here this weekend, right?

- Um...
- It's a bunch of rich people
getting dressed up

and forcing other rich people to give
money to a school that's already rich.

- It's for scholarships.
- Well, don't worry. I won't be in your way.

No no. I want you to come.

- Oh.
- You and Daphne and Adriana.

Um, well, my mom's away visiting her sister.

and you know, maybe if you
gave us your social calendar,

we could coordinate better.

I know it's last minute, but it would
mean a lot to me if you could come.

Just give her the united front speech, mom.

Oh, Daphne, I was just
inviting you and your mother

to the big fundraiser we're
having on Saturday night.

- Fundraiser?
- Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun.

- Toby's band is gonna play.
- We'd love to.

- Ay.
- Oh good.

Can I invite my boyfriend?

Oh, I didn't know you had a boyfriend.

- Neither did I.
- We just made it official tonight.

Well, give me his name and
I'll put it on the guest list.

Liam... Liam Lupo.

Wait. My Liam?

Wait I don't understand.
How could she be dating Liam?

I met him when I visited Bay's school.

- Who is Liam?
- Bay's boyfriend.

Bay's boyfriend.

Bay's boyfriend?

What?

- He never said he was going out with you.
- We're not anymore.

What?

You broke up with Liam
and you don't even tell me?

That is not the point, mom.
You're dating someone from my school

and you didn't think that
it's worth mentioning before now?

But I didn't wanna mention it

until I knew it was something serious.

And I didn't realize that
I needed your permission.

If I was dating someone from your school,

I'd probably think to tell you about it.

So Liam's never even brought up my name?

No, he just said he had an ex-girlfriend.

What did he say about me?

- That bad, huh?
- No. Us ladies can work this all out, right?

No, mom. It's cool, it's fine.

It doesn't matter.
Liam and I have broken up.

And besides, I'm dating someone new now.

- Who?
- His name's Ty.

- My Ty?
- No. My Ty.

Oh god.

- You have to come.
- A bunch of rich people,

me in a suit, meeting your parents?

- You've already met them.
- I was.. It was when I was moving furniture.

This is me dating their daughter.

They're gonna love you,

especially when you're all
handsome in your suit.

Look, I like you, okay?

And I really like spending time with you,

but that's just really
not my scene, all right?

Fine.

For the record, I had no idea

who Daphne was when I asked her out.

Really? You're sticking with that?

You didn't hear how Bay
was switched at birth with a deaf girl?

Obviously if I had heard,

I would have figured out
that Daphne was that girl.

I'm not an idiot. How many
deaf girls in Kansas citygirls

do you think have toured Buckner hall?

Oh, you tell me.

- You've apparently dated them all.
- Shh!

If I talk any lower,
you won't be able to listen in.

Sorry.

Look, I'm sorry if I'm not up to date

on the latest Mission hills gossip.

- Well, now you are.
- What do you want me to do, Bay?

- Break up with her?
- Yeah.

That's crazy. I'm not breaking up with her

just because you have a problem with her.

Then why did you ask?

Not even dating and we're still fighting.

I need you to be my plus one
for Kathryn's fundraiser.

That was easy.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Dinner smells great.

I haven't met him yet.

You'll meet him at the fundraiser.

He's my date. And he very cute.

Maybe it's not such a good idea...

Going with him.

He's gonna be there anyway.
His dad's catering.

I understand, but maybe give it some space

till things cool down.

All right, fine. We won't go together.

So what are we, crazy?

We're inviting everyone we know to our house,

knowing full well
they're gonna be staring at us.

And meanwhile our girls are
fighting over some boys.

Could you pour me one of those?

This is for you.

Sweetie, we're gonna be fine.

We just gotta keep our game faces on.

And if people start asking questions,

we just tell them
we're trying to move forward,

taking things one day at a time.

Coraline Brightman just called.

Apparently her mother invited a reporter

from the "Kansas city herald" to the party...

The "lifestyle" section.

Oh.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

'Cause all we need now is more pressure

to look like the perfect happy family.

Nothing can save this dress.

I thought you loved this dress.

I did, when I wore it to
the last five quinceaneras.

I wish I had something more elegant.

You mean expensive.

You never cared about labels before.

I've never been invited to
something like this before.

Other kids might need expensive clothes

to look beautiful... but you don't.

- They're bringing up another
case of champagne.
- Yes, ma'am.

- Toby, your band is all set up, right?
- Ready to rock and roll, mom.

Oh, Bay, you look beautiful.

Not that anyone but you will notice.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry
your friend couldn't come.

But considering he's 19, I'm not that sorry.

I still hope you have a good time.

- How are things going with...
- Things are fine with me and Daphne.

Good.

Daphne! You look beautiful.

- And... and so do you.
- Thank you. So do you.

Ladies, photo opportunity.

- No.
- I'm sorry, I...

- Let's get some water.
- No.

Game face.

Hello, Sue, Allen! Come in.

- Hi.
- You look beautiful.

Thank you.

And so brave.

Oh hi!

Um, maybe I should change.

What happened to not caring about labels?

Well, it's fancier than I thought.

What does that even mean?

Hey, so if Bay's not really your sister,

you could totally take a run at that.

Uh, no.

- Then you mind if I do?
- Yes.

Shouldn't you guys be playing?

Or are these instruments just for show?

Our drummer bailed.

Yeah, his mom found porn on his computer.

- He's grounded.
- I'm texting every drummer I know.

- I know a drummer.
- You do?

Yeah. Emmett.

- Uh, deaf Emmett?
- No... blind Emmett.

Well, honestly that would be better

because at least he could hear the songs.

Emmett's a really good drummer.

No offense, but are you
really the best judge of that?

I...

Sound is vibration.

You can feel the rhythm in your body.

But if you guys have
another option, feel free.

Uh, call him.

Please.

Hey, how about that sister?

No.

No, we had no idea.

We just thought that Bay got her coloring

from an italian on my side of the family.

Look, we thought it was nothing,

but the genetic test confirmed
that Bay wasn't biologically ours.

And that's when we found out that
there had been a mix-up at the hospital.

Definitely.

No, we are suing them big time.

But the important thing is that we're
all getting a chance to know each other.

Now have you all visited the silent auction?

Because there is an Aspen ski
trip that even I have my eye on.

So you really couldn't
tell it wasn't your baby?

Well, obviously if I had known,

I would have pointed it out at the time.

Cheers.

So they're still trying to figure out
who's gonna play me in the tv movie.

There's been talk of Emma Roberts,

but personally I'm holding
out for Camilla Belle...

much more of a built-in audience.

And Zac Efron's gonna play my brother Toby.

Oh my god. I just met Daphne. She's so cool.

But I don't understand.

How come she doesn't look like you?

You do know the difference
between switched at birth

and separated at birth, right?

Oh hey. Thanks for coming, man.

- This is Emmett.
- Hey.

What did he say?

He's just excited to play with a real band.

- Hey, can I talk to you?
- Yeah, sure.

Ready?

Please come, I'm begging you.
This party is so lame.

Not exactly a compelling
case for me to show up.

I'm serious, okay?

You don't even have to
wear a suit. Just come.

Look, I don't think you're really getting

the whole I-don't-want-to-be-there thing.

Trust me, nobody wants to be here.
You'll fit right in.

Why is it so important for me to go to this?

Never mind. It's not a big deal.
I'll talk to you later.

I'm gonna steal a dance with you.

You know that, right?

Look, I know there's been a lot
of craziness going on lately,

but I want you to know
that I really like you.

I like you too.

I feel like this is
where we should kiss now.

You thought dancing was a bad idea.

Maybe I should go.

- Kiss you later?
- Yeah, kiss you later.

- Yo, Liam.
- Oh hey, Zane. What's up?

Hey, Zane, Dan, Joe,
this is Daphne my girlfriend.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Unbelievable.

Is the whole freakin'
world in love with her?

Um, it's pretty basic...

Four-on-the-floor mid-tempo rocker.

This is gonna be a disaster.

Hey, guys, how's it going?

We are guitar face.

And I promise you
this is gonna be interesting.

I don't think I've seen you at
one of these fundraisers before.

- Mm, that's because it's my first.
- Oh.

Bet you won't make that mistake again.

- Bruce.
- Regina.

Regina.

So you're a... you're a
new Buckner parent, huh?

No. Buckner is a few zeroes
out of my price range.

Yeah, tuition is ridiculous.

I've got two kids enrolled now.

But hey, you can't put a price
on a good education, right?

Really? The brochure listed it at 30 grand.

Well, that's just the sticker price.

Your kid have good grades, good at sports?

- Both actually.
- Oh.

You know, there are scholarships.

That's what this night is about.

- Well, that and dancing.
- Mm.

What do you say?

Um... Okay.

Great.

Oh, Tracy, that was an amazing donation.

- Thank you.
- I don't buy it.

I mean, I'm sure John had an affair.

He was a baseball player, you know?

And come on, what kind of mother
doesn't know her own baby?

- Hey.
- Well, this seems to be going well.

Yeah, for some people.

My ex seems to be hitting
it off with your Regina.

My Regina?

I'm sure she's just drumming
up business for her salon.

Hmm.

Ah.

Hello. Hi, everybody.

I hope you're having a wonderful evening.

I just wanted to remind you
that the silent auction

is open throughout the evening.

And I wanted to thank my husband John

for graciously donating
two items up for bid:

one of his precious
jerseys and a year's worth

of free detailing at Kennish car wash.

John, take a bow.

Honey?

John? Heh.

You're gonna bid that up, aren't you?

Excuse me, what is that?

Do you know what you're looking at?

That is the jersey I wore
when I fought Roger Clemens.

See the spot where he hit me?

That's because there isn't one,

because I decked him
before he landed a punch.

I hate that guy.

You would not believe how
many guys in the league

bought me drinks after that,
including guys on his own team.

- Really?
- No kidding. Listen to this.

We were in Texas one time and
he was pitching and I was batting...

Thank you! Whoo!

- Unreal.
- Dude, how do you say "that was great"?

Damn right, man. Awesome!

So you were really great up there
and your band sounded amazing and...

Oh. Oh, I'm so sorry.

Just never mind.

I'm gonna go.

But really good job up there.

It was good.

- Hi.
- Hi, mom.

I saw you dancing with that hot guy.

Yeah, and I saw you dancing with Liam.

What's one dance?

The whole reason we moved in

is so you could have
a relationship with these people.

One dance with Liam and I'm
putting everything in jeopardy?

I don't know.

But are you willing to risk it?

My goodness, this is more than generous.

Thank you so much.

- Kathryn.
- Regina, oh.

I'm so glad that you're having fun.

And, um, I'm glad you brought Melody.

She seems very... very sociable.

Um, you have nothing to worry about.

She's happily married.

Oh, I wasn't implying anything.

I... I wanted to talk to you about Bruce.

I saw you dancing with him.

And between you and me, he's Denise's ex

and he comes with a lot of baggage.

It sounds like he got rid of it.

Trust me, Regina, he's bad news.

Bad news for me or for you?

Both of us actually.

- Hi.
- Hi. Hey.

- All right, take care.
- Keep up the bidding.

Where have you been?

I'm guessing whatever answer
I give you will be the wrong one?

I think you should be with me

and not off with your basketball friend.

What, Melody? Are you kidding me?

John, I never asked you any questions

when you were down in spring training

or when you were off on the road.

Whoa whoa, where is this coming from?

But I know how women act
when they're around you.

So when I see Melody hanging all over you

in front of our friends tonight,

I have to say I don't like it.

- Hi. Kathryn?
- Hi.

Hi. Tina Choi, "Kansas city herald."

- John Kennish. Hi.
- My husband.

- Yeah.
- I'm so glad you're here.

I just met Daphne. What an incredible story.

I mean, to go deaf at that age
and to overcome so much...

Yeah, we're very very proud of her.

And you... to blend together
two families so seamlessly

and for everyone to get
along so well together...

- Yeah.
- It's inspiring.

And believe me, by Monday everybody
will be talking about it.

I'm guessing Ty couldn't make it?

More like wouldn't.

Imagine wanting to miss all this fun.

- Here's to a great party.
- Ah ah.

This drink is not gonna make it any better.

It can't possibly make it any worse.

I'm an idiot.

You're gonna have to do better than that.

You're getting warmer.

I shouldn't have been
hanging out with Melody.

I should have been out here helping you.

It's just that...

just looking at my jersey and
no one was bidding on it...

Honey, we have been auctioning
off your jerseys for five years.

Anyone who wants one already has one.

Forget the jersey.

I have never given you
a reason not to trust me

and I'm not about to start.

All right.

I'm sorry I snapped at you.

I just can't take all
these rumors and stares.

Well, the only reason they're staring

is because you're
the most beautiful woman here.

And the only rumor I've heard

is that you're gonna get lucky tonight.

Really?

Yeah, this whole switched-at-birth thing

has actually been pretty tough on me.

I mean, I was born in the same hospital.

It could have happened to me.

Oh my god. You poor baby.

You enjoying yourself?

Yeah, I'm having a great time.

- Everyone's been really nice.
- Good.

I'm afraid with this whole
switched-at-birth thing

you might feel like an exhibit at a zoo.

Thanks, but I'm deaf.

I'm used to people staring at me.

I know.

- They can be really mean.
- They're just curious.

They want to know how I deal with it,

so I just do my best to
make them feel comfortable.

Hmm.

Hi. Hi, everybody.

I want to thank you all for coming.

It's your generous support
that has allowed Buckner hall

to set the benchmark for academics,

athletics and the arts.

This school represents...

it represent...

Uh, it repres...

You know what?

I forgot to introduce Regina Vasquez,

who is the mother of
my husband's love child.

Kidding!

Have you met me? If that were true,
I would never let

this beautiful woman set foot in my home.

I... I get it.

It's natural to want to
gossip about all this.

And to be honest, if it were another family,

I'd be right there with you.

But it's hard, so uh...

I just want to answer
the question you've all been asking.

We're doing just fine.

And to quote my very wise husband,

we're taking it one day at a time.

So I want to thank you
for your support and...

oh, the silent auction closes
in 10 minutes, so get bidding.

And I promise to answer any
other questions you have

about our situation after
you make a donation.

Bravo.

Thank you.

- Having fun?
- Not really.

- What more could you want?
- What do you mean?

It sure looked like you were
having an awesome time with Liam.

Can I get a copy of that picture
that you took with my family

or should I just wait for it
to show up above the fireplace?

You act like I'm trying to steal your life.

Are you? 'cause it sure feels that way.

You know, this isn't my fault.

It was done to me as much
as it was done to you.

I just have a better attitude about it.

- Of course you do. You're perfect.
- No, I'm not.

Have you ever been in a bad
mood a day in your life?

Do you want me to apologize for being nice?

Have you ever tried it?

The minute you found out
you were dating my ex-boyfriend,

you should have broken up with him.

I may not be Anne of freakin' Green Gables,

but that's what I would have done.

Isn't it amazing?

No matter what the situation is,

you always end up the victim.

Liam was right... it always has
to be about Bay and her drama.

Just so you know, I may not be good

at school or sports or being nice,

but I know how to keep a guy interested.

You should think about that
the next time you're with Liam.

It was nice to meet you.

- Hi.
- Hello.

So I just won dinner for two

at the terrace in the silent auction,

but I don't usually enjoy dining alone.

Any interest in joining me?

You know...

- I would love to.
- But?

No, just that.

- I'd love to.
- Great.

I've waited all night to do this.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

It doesn't seem like nothing.

You know how you said that you like me

- because we were into the same stuff?
- Yeah.

Well, if you and Bay
didn't watch zombie movies,

eat fried zucchini or talk
about sports together,

what did you do all the time?

Honestly, we mostly fought.

Well then, why did you go out?

I don't know.

I mean, our parents were close.

We grew up together.

Look, I don't wanna think
about Bay right now.

But I have to.

I don't know what she is to me.

I don't know what to call her.

I don't even know if I like her,

but she is the only person
in the entire planet

who understands what I'm going through.

And if I piss her off...

Hey, so let's figure this out.

There's nothing to figure out.

Us being together upsets her.

I wish that this didn't happen.

I wish that I didn't have to think about her

or anyone else,

But I did

and I do.

I like you so much, Liam,

But I have to choose this family.

Are we breaking up?

I think so.

Are you sure that this is what you want?

No.

But it's what I'm doing.

What happened?

My jersey sold...

for a lot.

That's great, honey.

And the totals are even better
this year than last year.

Great.

Why don't we kick the rest of
these people out of here early

and go celebrate in private?

I'll see what I can do.

You know where to find me.

Toby, would you hide this for me somewhere?

What is it?

You bought dad's jersey?

- Shh!
- Okay okay.

And you wore a suit.

Yeah, I do own one, you know?

I'm really glad you came.

Do you, um... you wanna
get the hell out of here?

- Absolutely.
- All right.
