High School (2022) s01e03 Episode Script

1
I'm about to go on a little
adventure. You wanna come?
Where are we going?
Nowhere but everywhere.
Do you wanna hang out sometime? Just us?
Yeah, totally.
She really likes you.
I'm scared we'll grow apart.
We won't.
I promise.
Amy, what's going on?
Amy barricaded herself in
the house and started a fire.
She didn't make it.
- Are you okay?
- Hey. What?
I'm sorry.
I miss you, Teegy.
I miss you too.
That was "Geek Stink
Breath" by Green Day,
off their new album, Insomniac.
The boys from California are
heading out on a world tour
and they're stopping at Calgary's
own Saddledome December 9th.
- Holy shit!
- Tickets go on sale this Friday,
October 27th, at 10:00 a.m.
Can we skip school on
Friday and get tickets?
That's way above my pay grade.
You'll have to ask your mom.
If Mom says yes, can you loan us money?
Trying to get me killed?
Please?
Tell you what, talk to your mom
about it, I'll do whatever she says.
Deal!
The tickets go on sale at 10:00,
so we have to get there at
least a couple hours before.
I'll sleep there, I don't care.
Hey, Maya.
Uh, Tegan.
- Hey.
- Tyler.
Well, uh see ya.
What the hell was that?
He's, like, scared of you.
I popped his cherry in grade eight
and he's been like that ever since.
He also knows that if
he ever displeases me,
I'll tell everyone he's like this
And that's being generous.
So, for the concert, it's gonna
be me, you, Maya, Evan and Lily.
And is Phoebe coming?
She's not into Green Day.
Well, that's crazy.
Hey, she's home.
What is she doing?
She's been acting kind of weird lately.
Okay, here she comes.
- Hey.
- Oh, hi.
What were you doing in the car?
Nothing. Why are you awake?
Well, we wanted to talk
to you about something.
Okay, make it quick.
Remember how you always talk
about when you were in high school
and you saw Supertramp in concert?
I wouldn't say I always talk about it.
Okay, not always,
but you said it was, like, one of
your most important life experiences.
This doesn't feel quick.
Can you fast forward?
Green Day is playing at the Saddledome
and tickets go on sale this Friday.
And you want to skip
school to buy tickets?
Yes.
How are you gonna pay for them?
Patrick said he would loan us
money if you said it was okay.
Well
All right, I guess
you're going to Green Day.
Yes! Thank you!
Yeah, thanks, Mom.
And I think one of the reasons
that concert was so mind-blowing
were the mushrooms your
dad and I ate right before.
Well, maybe you can
get us some mushrooms.
Mm. Absolutely never.
Yeah. Worth a shot.
- Good night.
- Thanks again.
I don't know if this is true,
but did you hear Billie
Joe performed "She"
- completely naked at Madison Square Garden?
- No way.
Yeah, I heard he gets
naked on stage a lot.
Well, I hope he doesn't do that
here. We do not need to see that.
Speak for yourself. I wanna
see what he's working with.
Um, I'm actually surprised
you wanted to go at all.
I mean, you don't even like Green Day.
Yes, I do.
Why would you say that?
Who's that girl in your English
class? She wears cat ears.
- Erica?
- Yes, Erica.
She's definitely
sleeping with Mr. Costa.
- That makes so much sense.
- I know!
There's no way she's
getting those 90s on her own.
Absolutely no way.
Oh, you know how someone
- blew the fire extinguisher in the student center?
- Oh, yeah,
- that was crazy!
- I know!
Principal Dall, he's offering 50 bucks
to anyone who rats out
the kids who did it.
- Fifty bucks?
- Yeah.
I say we join forces, solve
this crime, and split the reward.
Never been a part of
a crime-fighting duo.
Let's do it.
Hey, can you let me out? I
gotta get home and call Phoebe.
You can stay if you want to.
No, uh, that's okay.
Do you wanna come with us?
Oh, no, I'll just hang here,
see if Evan and Lily show up.
- Okay. I'll call you later.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I can't believe we get to
see Green Day in 43 days.
I know. I'm so excited. I can't wait.
Yeah, me too.
- Hey, did Evan and Lily ever show up?
- No.
What's going on with them?
They were acting so aggro today.
Probably nothing.
Evan doesn't really hang
out with girls for very long.
Do you think that you'd ever
want to you know, with Evan?
You don't have to tell me.
No, uh, that's okay.
I mean, maybe?
Evan's cute, but high school guys
don't always know what to
do, if you know what I mean.
Yeah, totally.
Besides, I don't really
think he's who I'm into.
What are you doing now?
Nothing. I was just gonna go home.
Wanna come over to my house
and listen to music or whatever?
- Yeah, tot
- Teegy!
- Teegy! Teegy! That's fun to say!
- Oh, Jesus, Sara.
- You're high, aren't you?
- I don't know.
Listen, we're gonna
go visit Phoebe at work
because I realize that
Natalie has never met her.
No, you can't go
wandering around on drugs.
We won't wander. We know
exactly where we're going.
Yeah, Phoebe calls!
I can't let Sara walk around like that.
She'll get hit by a bus or
something and our mom will kill me.
I can't come over.
I'm sorry.
It's cool. I'll come with you.
Okay.
- Oh.
- Oh, my God.
Would you get down from there?
You're gonna fall and break
your neck or something.
Oh, my God.
Why does this freak you out?
I'm not freaked out. I
just don't want her to die.
Have you ever tripped?
No, I've just smoked pot. Have you?
Yeah, a bunch.
And I'm not dead.
If you ever wanna try, we
could always do it together.
Yeah, maybe.
Okay, it's almost there.
Here it comes! Here it comes!
I used to be a little boy ♪
So old in my shoes ♪
Isn't that line amazing?
I mean, for so long I would hear it
and I didn't get it, but now I do.
Do you get it?
I mean, yeah, he was a kid,
but the feelings he was having
were more grown-up or whatever.
Exactly!
It makes me think about
when we were, like, five
and I would have these nightmares
and I would wake up screaming
and it would take Mom
forever to calm me down.
I don't remember exactly what
these nightmares were about,
but whatever they were, it's
nothing a kid should ever feel.
You know?
I was the one who had
the nightmares, not you.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
Whoa. This changes everything.
Hey. What are you doing right now?
Hey.
Hi.
I brought you a surprise.
You shouldn't have.
So glad you're finally
done babysitting Sara.
Oh, me too. It's a shitty
job and I don't even get paid.
Do you ever get tired of
dropping everything for her?
I don't do that.
Okay.
I'm not dropping everything.
It's more like
I'm waiting.
We used to be really tight,
and then over the summer,
she totally disappeared.
What would happen if you stop waiting?
What if you let her go?
I don't know. I mean, she's my sister.
Exactly.
So why are you holding on so tight?
Hey.
Everybody's getting here at 5:00,
and then Mom's taking us
to the concert, so be ready.
Okay.
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
I'll get it.
Ah, too late.
Maya, hi. Come on in.
Hi, Mrs. Quin.
Oh, I'm a "miss." And
my last name is Bates.
We're not doing the
nuclear family thing here.
Shit. Sorry. I mean
Oh, it's okay. Let's keep it simple.
- Call me Simone.
- Okay. Simone.
- Cool.
- Cool.
Are you excited for the concert?
Yeah, very, actually.
I hear the lead singer sung a whole song
completely naked at
Madison Square Garden.
- Is that right?
- We were all talking about that.
I gotta see that video. I
mean, that is confidence.
Yeah, I know, right?
Your mom's so cool.
And she's a total babe.
I know, everybody's,
like, in love with her.
Nice.
So, uh, when's Evan getting here?
Oh, he's not coming. Lily's
having a major freakout.
I think this might be the end for them.
Maybe that means it's time for
you two to start hanging out.
Yeah, maybe.
Come on, we have to go.
I'm not going.
Yes, you are. Let's go.
Just leave me alone.
Let's go!
Jump! Jump! Yeah!
And they hadn't played
"When I Come Around,"
so I knew they would do an encore,
but then they ended up
playing four more songs!
It was awesome!
Okay, cut to the chase. Did
the lead singer get naked?
Ew, Mom, no!
Thank you for letting
me go to the concert.
Ah, no problem. Hey, Maya's cool.
Yeah, she is.
What's wrong?
Can I stay in here with you?
Of course.
My break is almost over.
"Almost" being the operative word.
You don't have to wait for me
if you're having a bad time.
It's okay. I'm keeping myself
busy. I'm writing you something.
Mm, then I better hurry up.
My heart is heavy, my chest tight
And even if I have to wait all night
I will, oh, yes, I will
I'll wait here in the darkness
'Cause I'm aching, I need this
I have to tell you, you have to know
You're the only one who
makes me red under my clothes.
Did you hate it?
No, not at all. It was amazing.
You're like Sylvia
Plath minus the suicide.
Well, I have more, if you wanna hear.
Yes, please.
All of them.
What if two will always equal one?
What if I never stand in my own sun?
What if what I want, I can never be?
Your father and I are running to
the store. Okay? Make sure you eat.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Just, uh, writing an essay
for this French immersion
program in Montreal
my parents want me to go to.
When is it?
Not until summer.
So you would be gone all summer?
Relax.
There's no chance I'm getting in.
Don't worry.
- Okay.
- Okay.
I still can't believe you're
not coming to Green Day with me.
Yeah, they're just not my thing.
Who are you going with?
Tegan and all her friends.
So you guys are getting along?
Kinda.
She's super into her new friend,
Maya, so she's not as annoying.
Have you told her about us?
No. Have you told anyone?
No.
I think it's better
having it be our secret.
Yeah, totally.
Hey.
Hey.
Thanks for not calling
me back last night.
What do I have to do to actually
get to hang out with you?
Mm, get my teachers to cancel
all my tests and homework,
and burn my job to the ground.
And get Sara shot into space.
Come on, we don't spend
that much time together.
True, I guess sometimes you're sleeping.
I couldn't spend that
much time with anyone.
What do you guys talk about?
I don't know.
Maybe I just like to
spend time with someone
who's not giving me so much shit.
Oh, ever thought of that?
All the French greetings and good-byes.
So tall, dark, handsome
- All right.
- Mm-hmm.
- Good sense of humor. That's important.
- That's fair.
What about him? What's his deal?
That's Chris.
He's 25, he has a girlfriend, and
he still lives with his parents.
Ugh, all the mediocre ones are taken.
And your brother still isn't into me?
That's disgusting. And no.
Hey, I'm just a young
woman trying to find love.
Or at least someone who will feel me up.
Don't you want that?
Not actively.
Oh, please, you're no nun.
The entertainment has arrived!
Hey.
Come on, bow with me.
Will you get up?
- Hi.
- Phoebe, Autumn, this is Natalie.
And this is Maya.
- Hi.
- Hey.
What's up?
What are you guys doing here?
I wanted you to meet Natalie.
I insisted.
And you do not disappoint.
Oh.
Arcade!
Can I talk to you for a sec?
Yeah.
- Are you high right now?
- I took one tiny hit.
You know I don't like when you do that.
And I'm at work.
Maybe we should just hang
out when you're normal.
Do you hate me now?
No.
We'll see each other this weekend. Okay?
Okay. Can I hug you?
What?
Nothing.
You're obviously thinking
something. Say it.
You and Sara are just weird.
Weird how?
You're, like, obsessed with each other.
Well, I mean, we're best friends.
I don't think it's that weird.
Whatever you say.
Are you still pissed at me?
No. I just
I don't really like this movie.
Okay, well, I can tell
something's wrong. What is it?
I just I don't know why
you'd show up to my work high
when you know I don't like it.
Because I missed you.
Yeah, well, I missed you too, but
The you when you're
high isn't the real you.
What if it is?
It makes me feel happy,
like I can be myself.
I used to make you feel like that.
You still do.
I don't know. Maybe we're
just too different now.
No, we're not.
I'm sorry. I messed up, and
it'll never happen again, okay?
Okay?
I think your mom just came in.
What? She saw us?
I think so.
Oh, shit. You gotta go.
- Morning.
- Hey.
Good morning.
- I gotta get home. I'll see ya.
- Yeah.
Bye.
I'll call you later.
Hey, um, did you happen to come
into my room a little while ago?
Mm-hmm. Yeah. I wanted to
see if you had any laundry.
Oh, well, you don't
have to do my laundry.
Well
Okay, well, um, I'm gonna
go do some homework. Yeah?
Why were you and Sara
sleeping like that?
Like what?
Like, uh in each other's arms.
Girls aren't supposed to do that.
God, Mom, I know.
It probably just happened
in our sleep or something.
It's a twin bed.
Right. Well, maybe
Maybe Sara shouldn't
spend the night anymore.
Okay?
Yeah.
Okay.
Hello?
Hey, it's, um, Phoebe. Is Sara there?
Sara, it's Phoebe.
You're totally missing
out on the concert tonight.
I'm gonna get so close that
Billie Joe sweats on me.
- Hello?
- Bye.
Hey, what's up?
Uh
Hello?
My mom, um said you can't
sleep over here anymore.
Shit. Well, we can hang out at
my house until she gets over it.
I think we should just
go back to being friends.
Are you serious?
We can still hang out.
- I don't want to just hang out.
- Look, Sara
I don't get why things have to change.
Phoebe?
Hello?
It's just easier.
I think we should just
go back to being friends.
Are you serious?
I had an idea of how we could
bring Sara back from the dead.
You're gonna have so much fun,
your face is gonna explode.
This breaks a lot of
Mom's rules about safety.
Oh, hell yeah! Come on!
