- You're late. Let me guess.
Inspiration hit and you just had
to finish writing a new song?
- There was a lot of traffic.
- Cows?
- Sheep. Farmer Dodge needs
to get that fence of his fixed.
- His personality
could use some work too.
But if you want to keep
your Grandma's café in business,
you can't keep
customers waiting.
- Does that mean you're paying
for that muffin?
- Add it to my tab?
(Holly chuckling)
- So what has you up
bright and early?
- I wanted to spend some quality
time with my best friend.
- And
- And you know how you say
nothing interesting
ever happens in Collinsville?
- I have never said that.
- Right. That's me.
Well, something interesting's
happening here.
Or at least 30 miles away.
The new mega-mall's having
a mega-sale.
- And you "mega" want to go?
- Except Dad's busy
with the horses,
so I was hoping
your brother could drive us.
Piper Parish says
the impression you make
on your first day
defines you for the entire year.
And although I haven't
crunched the data yet,
her logic seemed sound.
- Since when do you care
what Piper Parish thinks?
- I don't know. She's nice.
- You've been hanging with her?
- Sometimes.
When you're busy here.
Holly, please!
I'll even refrain
from commenting the next
three times you make decisions
based on your horoscope.
- OK.
- No lecture
about carbon footprints?
Or how mass produced clothing
is made in factories
with poor working conditions?
- On second thought
- No, no, no, no, no!
No second thoughts.
(door chime)
(door closing)
- Uhhh hello.
Welcome to The Calico.
- I'm looking for Helen Hobbie.
- That's my Grandma.
But she won't be in
until 10.
- Tell your grandmother
to call me when she gets in.
I have some urgent business
to discuss.
(door chime)
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- "Edward Lee. Attorney-At-Law."
- Ha! And you're the one
who says nothing interesting
ever happens in Collinsville.
(indistinct country song)
- Tch-tchhh!
Does the ham come
from your family's farm?
- Yes, Mayor Flaherty.
We smoke it ourselves.
- I'll have the roast beef.
- Of course you will.
- The mall has an entire store
dedicated to muffins!
Kidding! But there is
a bubble tea place,
and I've been meaning
to try that for months.
- Ah! Any intel
on Edward Lee?
- Oh, hmmm
Lawyer from Madison. Handles
mostly real estate and wills.
- Maybe Grandma inherited some
money from a long lost relative?
- Or maybe she's in trouble
with the law.
- My Grandma? No way!
(door chime)
Helen Hobbie is
a law-abiding citizen.
- I could just about murder
someone right now.
The truck broke down
a mile away, and nobody
would offer me a ride.
Well, don't just stand there
like pigs in muck,
lend me a hand.
- A man came by to see you.
- Was he a looker?
- No. He's a lawyer.
- Good looking lawyer?
- Do you know
what he wants?
- Probably a different
Helen Hobbie.
It's a beautiful summer day,
go on outside. Enjoy it.
(indistinct country song
playing)
(door chime)
- And she called us suspicious?
- Who's suspicious?
- Oh! Hi, Piper!
- Group hang at the creek
tomorrow. Everyone
will be there.
- We have plans!
- Count us in!
- Try and clear your schedules.
It's gonna be "fantabulous."
Oh, my God,
this light is perfect!
(click)
And posted!
Hope you guys make it!
(girls laughing nervously)
- I thought we were going
to the mall tomorrow.
- We still can. And afterwards,
we can stop by in our
brand new bikinis.
Wouldn't it be great
to get some rays?
- Sure. If you're
into melanoma.
- You know, you'd like Piper
if you gave her a chance.
- I'll let you know.
I just gotta figure things out
with my Grandma.
- Great. I'll tell
Piper we're in!
And I promise
I'll pack sunscreen.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
Hey!
- ♪Yeah, yes, we're going ♪♪

(impact on metal bat)
- And it's outta here!
- Our team's gonna kick
butt this year!
(sheep bleating)
- You can't get mad,
but we won't be
on the same team this year.
- Don't worry, Levi.
With a little practice,
you'll get there.
- First of all, I'm just as good
as you are, Heather Hobbie.
And second, I'm not
the problem, you are.
- But I'm great.
- But you're also a girl.
And now that we're ten,
there's only a boys' team.
- That can't be right.
That's discrimination!
- Hey, Heather, do you know
where Mom is? I need to ask
her something about Grandma.
- First, tell Levi he's wrong.
- Levi, you're wrong.
What are we talking about?
- My friend here is
under the impression that
I can't play baseball this year!
- Levi, you're right.
- But I love baseball.
Why won't they let girls
and boys play together?
- Simple. Boys have
bigger muscles.
- And smaller brains.
(cow mooing)
How am I supposed to be the best
player if I can't play with
the best players?
- Hey, Robbie,
do you know where Mom is?
- You know, I don't know
on account of my tiny brain.
She's inside making dinner.
I think she just got home.
- Thank you.
- Well, maybe they'll make an
exception. You're really good.
- Yeah, but They won't know that
if I can't try out.
- Don't get mad at me,
I don't make the rules.
- But you could help me
break them.
- Hey!
- Mmm! Smells good!
- You are
my first victim. It's carbonara.
- Mmmm! Tastes even better!
- Yes!
- Hey, how serious do you think
Grandma is when she talks
about robbing a bank and running
off to some Caribbean Island?
- It depends on the day.
Why? What's up?
- A lawyer stopped by the café
looking for her.
- A lawyer?
I'm sure it's nothing.
Ahem!
- Nothing.
Great! I love nothing.
(laughing)
- Go get washed up.
- All right.
(sighing)
(phone ringing)
- Yeah, Helen, hi.
Yeah. No.
Holly, she just told me.
So it's more bad news?
I just I thought
that we caught it early.
And you're sure that
there's nothing that we can do?
OK. It's gonna be hard
to say good-bye.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
(buzzing)
- "Know what's up
with Grandma?"
Yeah. I think she's dying.
(people laughing)
- Mama, how do I get this?
They're just
- Just use your fingers
and get 'em out.
- (father): Oh, so good!
- (Robbie):
This is delicious, Mom.
- Thank you.
You know what?
So the secret's to add
the pecorino as late as possible
so the sauce
doesn't get too thick.
- (father): Interesting.
- How could you be talking
about food at a time like this?!
- Dinner?
- Something on your mind,
Holly-kins?
- I heard you on the phone
with Grandma.
We're not kids anymore.
We deserve to know the truth.
How long do we have?
- A week. Maybe two.
- That doesn't give us
very much time to say good-bye!
- Grandma wanted
to keep it a secret.
- Yeah, we've had
a good long run,
but to be honest, she's been
past her prime for a while,
so
- How could you be
so heartless?! Grandma's dying!
- Grandma's dying?!
- Grandma's dying?!
- Grandma's dying?
- What?! No! No!
- Then what were you talking
about on the phone?
(sighing)
- Hal?
(sighing)
- The Calico's closing.
People aren't shopping
on Main Street anymore.
- Which means fewer people
are visiting the café.
- Yeah, we're sad too, you
guys. I mean, it's been such
an important part of our family.
- Your mother and I had our
first date there. I don't think
there's a person in town
that that place hasn't touched.
- You're right,
which means a lot of people
would want to save it.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- After I drop you off,
I'm going to pay Grandma
a quick visit, OK?
- Give her a hug for me.
Can you imagine a world
without her café?
- It's always been there for us.
Just like you're going
to be there to support
Levi at tryouts today.
- Yeah. I'm not going
to support him, I'm trying out.
- But but it's a boys' team,
and and and you're--
- (in a deeper voice):
Henry. Nice to meet you.
- And you think boys
have smaller brains?
People won't buy that.
- They will if you tell them I'm
your cousin from Iowa staying
with the family a few months.
- That is ridiculous.
- And that's why people
will believe it. Collinsville's
most popular, most respected,
most handsome senior
would never make up anything
like that.
- People do love me.
(sighing)
- Want a mirror?
- OK, but Levi?
You won't fool him.
- My best friend
will not out me.
And neither will you.
Or else.
- Or else what?
- Mwaha! Mwaha!
Mwahahahahaha!
(indistinct country song
playing)
- Here's a picture of the day
you opened the café.
- And here's one from today.
We're trying to play up
the nostalgia factor.
It's very on point right now.
- People can
click here to donate money
to save The Calico.
I said that the goal is $5000,
but we can raise it
if we need to.
- So this is on the Internet?
The entire town can see this?
- More like the entire world.
You see, the way
the Internet works--
- Amy, how old
do you think I am?
- I respectfully decline
that question.
- Take it down.
I don't want charity.
- Well, whatever you've been
doing hasn't worked.
- Oh, thank you.
- I'm sorry, but--
- Take it down, Holly.
The world has changed.
It's time that we accept that.
- I can't believe
she's just giving up!
- Look on the bright side.
With the café closing,
you'll have more time
to work on your music
and to take road trips
with your BFF.
Speaking of, did you ask Robbie?
- About what?
- Our trip to the mall!
I really wanna get strappy
sandals like the ones Piper was
wearing yesterday.
- You realize superficial people
like Piper are the reason
the café's closing?!
- Are you calling me
superficial?!
- If the sandal fits!

(indistinct talking)

(boy laughing)
- That was awesome, man!
- Nice job, Henry!
- Feeling pretty good
about yourself?
- Yeah. I mean
(deeper voice): Yeah.
- You won't get away
with this.
- Please don't tell.
Wouldn't it be so cool
if we're on the same team
again next year?
- HEATHER HOBBIE,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
- I knew it!
I knew you looked familiar!
No girls allowed.
Didn't you get the memo?
You better leave
before we tell Coach!
- Why would you do that?!
- Because it's a boys' team!
- So? I played
way better than you did!
- Exactly! How would it look
if you made the team
and I didn't? I'm supposed
to be better than you.
- Why? 'Cause you're a boy?!
You shouldn't be embarrassed
that I'm better than you,
but you should be embarrassed
for thinking like that!

- This area is occupied.
- Well, I have to get the food
together for the chicken, so
- And I have to--
- Help me?
Thanks for offering! Haha!
(cow mooing)
(chicken cackling)
You, uh
shared that song
with your grandma yet?
- No. We're on a break.
- Aaah
You remind me of her.
- No way!
I'm not a quitter!
- Hey! Your grandma
is not a quitter.
She's fought for 30 years
to keep the Calico open.
You know,
she convinced her dad
to turn his general store
into a café.
And when that wasn't enough,
she organizing events there:
concerts, square dances
We even had open mics
on every Friday night
- Open mic? What's that?
- That's when people
get together and they sing,
they play music,
they share pretty much
whatever they've got going on.
- That sounds amazing!
- And it was.
- What happened?
- I guess things change.
- Well, I wish they'd stop.
Amy suddenly has
a whole new set of friends,
and all they care about is
how many likes their photos get.
- Uh-huh. And you don't?
- Sure, but I care
about other things too.
I don't just sit around
taking photos all day.
(Hal clearing his throat)
OK, not every day though.
- Listen, if your friend Amy
thinks her new friends are all
that special, let her prove it.
Maybe you can find something fun
that you can all do together.
Huh?
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- Let me take this for you.
(female singers vocalizing)
(indistinct country song)
(door chime)
(door closing)
Sorry. We don't
serve traitors.
- I have something
to tell you.
- That girls aren't allowed
to have part-time jobs?
- You were right.
The team should be made
of the best players -
boy or girl.
And the coach agreed.
- So, I made it
and we get to be
on the same team again?!
- He also agreed I'd be
a better manager than player,
but at least we'll be together.
- Yeah.
(chuckling)
- Hey, what's up?
- OK, that's going on Insta!
Oh hey, Holly!
- Hey, Piper.
Amy, can I talk to you
for a minute?
(indistinct pop song playing)
It's banana-chocolate chip.
(Holly sighing)
It's recently been
brought to my attention
that I took my feelings
about the Calico closing
out on you.
- What highly perceptive person
told you that?
- So to make it up to you,
I am willing to make
one trip to the mall.
Also, I'm hosting an open mic
at The Calico tonight,
and I'd really like you
to be there.
- Not worried
superficial's contagious?
- You know how I'm always
saying that nothing interesting
ever happens in this town?
♪♪♪♪♪♪
Let's make something
interesting happen.
Together.
(acoustic guitar music)
(female singers vocalizing)
- ♪Hope this night
will be a success ♪♪
But if I can't get this mic
working, it'll be one huge mess!
- Technophobia is
a real problem.
- Piece of junk
doesn't work.
- Total first idea -
plug it in.
- What if nobody comes?
- My friends saw
your promo online,
they might check it out.
- Must be nice to have friends.
- Look, you and Amy will
work it out. You always do.
(scoffing)
- So do you think Granma
will freak when she sees this?
(mic feedback)
- Count on it.
- (whispering): You said
you'd keep her occupied.
- (whispering): I tried.
- Your father's never been
very good at secrets.
I raised him like that
on purpose.
What in the heck is this?
- Remember how you used
to have open mics?
I organized one
for tonight!
- I told you
to leave it alone.
Did you ever consider
what I wanted?!
- I already put the word out.
Can't turn away
paying customers.
(rock music)
- Clean up when you leave.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- Everyone tells us to go
after what we want,
but when we do,
they just shut us down.
- Got that right, sister.
- I should just give up now.
- You better not 'cause
this open mic is
kind of "fantabulous."
Did you really think
I wasn't gonna show up?
- I brought Piper and a couple
of other people too.
- I have a poem
I'd like to read.
- Agreed. You can go on
after the band.
- Amy, help me
with my lip gloss?
- How is that
a two-person job?
- Your guess is as good as mine.
- Yeah.
♪♪♪♪♪♪
(applause and cheering)
- All right, let's give it up
for Sheepsheart!
(crowd cheering)
Now, let's give a warm welcome
to Piper Parish and let her
perform her poem.
(applause)
- If horses could talk,
what would they say?
The deepest of thoughts
or just neigh.
(crowd laughing)
If horses could cook
- Are you trying to replace me?
- With Piper?
Of course I am.
She's so much nicer
and prettier and, you know,
a way better poet.
(chuckling)
You know you're
irreplaceable, Holls.
We're a perfect pair.
Like PB & J.
(Amy and Holly chuckling)
(crowd laughing)
But I still want
to be friends with Piper.
- It's just always been
the two of us against the world.
- Um, the world's
a tough place,
isn't it better to have
more people in your corner?
(indistinct end of Piper's poem)
(crowd cheering)
- Thank you. Thank you.
I love poetry!
- Oh, my gosh,
that was so much fun!
- And that was, uh
- Unique?
- Mm-hmm.
- It was supposed to be funny.
- (Amy and Holly): Ohhh!
(nervous laughter)
- So who's up next?
(indistinct chatter)
- Uh, no one's signed up yet.
- If only we knew
a talented singer-songwriter
Oh, wait!
- Nooo
No, that'd probably just make
my grandma even madder.
(both sighing)
I should just shut everything
down. No one really cares
about keeping this place open
except me.
(indistinct chatter)
- Maybe your grandma feels
the same way.
But people do care.
That's why
they all showed up tonight.
(indistinct chatter)
Come on!
- Hi, everyone. I hope
you're having an amazing time.
Um, sometimes you feel
like you're all alone
with your problems,
but you don't have to be.
