I Didn't Do It (2014) s01e03 Episode Script

The New Guy

Whose brilliant idea was this again?! I believe it was yours! Well, who told you to listen to me?! You did! Well, stop doing that! Look what this is doing to my skin! Actually, your skin looks great.
I know.
Seriously, look at my skin! Who cares?! A bird just pooped in my mouth! Just shut your mouth, pull your cord, and open your 'chute.
Whatever you do, don't freak out.
Ok, now you can freak out.
You're nothing but trouble but trouble's what I like got a whole life to figure it out so why start tonight just take a picture of me taking a picture of you making the face that makes me laugh then you start laughing too and when the world looks upside down just flip the camera the other way around 'cause this will be the time of our, time of our lives we'll take everyone by surprise hang on, it's a crazy ride yeah this will be the time of our, time of our lives And even when it don't feel right know that you're doing just fine 'cause this is the time of our lives That was so scary! I almost died.
Your parachute cord was fine.
You pulled off the price tag.
That's what scared me.
Three hundred dollars for this flight suit? I wish we'd never gone skydiving! Then why'd you sign up, put on parachutes, and jump out of a plane? It's a long story.
Better not be that long.
Was amour, amour, amour not the best movie ever?! I cried into my popcorn the whole time.
That explains why it was so salty.
And why there was this contact lens in there.
Personally, I thought it was totally cliché, emotionally manipulative, and a rehashing of every romantic movie I've seen.
I hate myself for loving it! Well, that was a two-hour stink-fest.
Seriously.
Amour, amour, amour? It should've been called no more, no more, no more! Then why did you guys agree to go? We did vote on it.
That's the problem, we voted.
That's always the problem! Laser tag.
Mani-pedis.
Vote! Batting cages.
Mani-pedis.
Vote! - Hockey game.
- Dye our hair pink.
Mani-pedis? Vote! Voting is a total joke.
It doesn't even matter! Excuse me! We're lucky enough to live in a little place known as the United States of America, pal.
It is our constitutional right to vote! He meant our group votes.
Yeah, those are totally rigged in our favor.
Exactly.
Us guys, are always outnumbered.
Because there's three of them and only two of us.
To make it fair, we should get twice as many votes.
- I see your point.
- Me, too.
Does make sense.
But just to be sure, let's take a vote.
All those in favor of the guys getting an extra vote.
How did I not see that coming? I think I may have figured out a way to even out our voting problem.
Would you forget about that? I don't know.
Maybe we should vote on it.
All those in favor When do you have time to come up with this stuff? I don't do homework.
Yo, check out the cool new guy.
He looks like he should be on the cover of cool new guy magazine.
This guy could be the tiebreaker we've always needed.
Oh, I get it.
We make him part of the group, we never have to get another manicure again! Wait a minute.
If this is going to work, we're going to have to get the girls on board.
Would you Who's the new guy? He pretty.
Advanced chemistry? He smart.
Wow.
I've never seen socks like that.
He sock model.
Something tells me we'll be able to get them on board.
- Hey, we were just thinking - Not now, Logan.
We have to find a way to get that new guy in the group.
That was my idea! If it was your idea, why did it come out of my mouth? I don't know.
Maybe it's that twin telepathy thing.
- All I know is - Guys, stop! He's about to sit with someone else.
We're losing him! Do something.
I'll get behind him, you knock him down.
- No! - Fine.
You get behind him, I'll knock him down.
- Hey, is this seat taken? - No, not at all.
Logan.
- Lindy.
- Jasmine.
- Garrett.
- Delia.
Jasmine.
Hi.
I'm Tom Bigham.
I just moved here from California.
Personal question, Tom.
Is it too soon for me to touch your socks? So I'm paddling on my board, and the water was totally calm.
Almost too calm if you know what I mean.
I totally get it.
You've never been on a surfboard.
I've never been over the rainbow, but I still get the wizard of oz.
Then out of nowhere, I saw it.
A big grey dorsal fin cutting through the water.
It was a shark! I knew that whatever I did in the next ten seconds would determine if I lived or died.
And I wanted to live! So I hopped off my surfboard and shoved it hard at the shark's head.
Once! Twice! Then a third time.
Are we not screaming anymore? I shoved that surfboard right at the shark's head! That's when I started swimming for shore, faster than I ever swam before.
And when the surfboard washed up, what do you think I found? Fyi, they do not make good pets.
Or snacks.
H? Learned that the hard way.
No, it was something the shark left behind.
This tooth.
Ok, if no one else is going to say it, I will.
You're awesome! - Totally cool.
- So much fun.
The best.
And you are rockin' those socks.
Thanks.
I hope this doesn't sound too dorky, I was a little freaked about making new friends.
- But you guys are the best.
- No, you are! Ok, I have to motor.
See you at school tomorrow.
See ya! Bye! Motor.
He is perfect for us.
We finally have a cool guy in the group.
- No offense, Garrett.
- None taken.
Wait, I think I took some.
We're lucky to have met Tom.
It's not easy finding someone who fits in with us.
Tell me about it.
I remember the first person who came into our group.
He totally cramped my style.
- Hey, who are you? - I have no idea yet.
Wow, something stinks here.
Is that my diaper or yours? I have no idea yet.
Charming anecdote, but I've got to motor.
You do realize, "motor" means leave, right? I do now.
Whoa! Yeah, we're right under the "I" train.
It happens all the time.
That came out of nowhere.
Like that shark.
So I'm paddling on my board, and the water was totally calm and I wanted to live! So I hopped off my board and shoved it hard at the shark's head.
Once twice.
And when the surfboard washed up, what do you think I found? This tooth.
Hey, this Saturday, I'm thinking we go paintballing! I'm thinking we do our nails.
Mani-pedis, anyone? Hey, what do we normally do when we disagree? Oh, I know.
We take a vote.
All those in favor of paintball? Tom, you're part of the group now.
You get a vote.
So raise that hand up high for paintball! Nah, I'm cool with whatever.
Wait.
You're not going to vote?! No, you guys decide.
What's that, Tom? You say you're voting for paintballing after all? Really, guys.
I'm just a go with the flow kind of guy.
Like when I surf.
I just go with the flow.
Like that one day, I'm paddling on my board, and the water was totally calm This is like the fifth time we've heard this story.
Has anything else ever happened to this guy? I'm starting to root for the shark.
If he really wanted to get rid of the shark, he should've just told him this story.
I wonder if I just ate a bad jellyfish.
And what do you think that shark left behind? That tooth.
That's right! Hey, I've got to motor.
Later, guys.
Motor.
We have no choice.
We've got to get rid of him.
Ok, I think I know a guy who knows a guy who can make it look like an accident.
Not that kind of "get rid of him"! Hold on.
Let her finish.
Guys, we can't just dump him.
He's a nice guy and he's new here.
We could grow to love him even though we can't stand him now.
You know, like with Delia.
No offense.
You know, just because you say "no offense" doesn't mean it's not offensive.
What are you talking about?! Delia made a great first impression the minute she joined the group! Stop it! Stop it! I love her! Can we keep her? Guys, are we really the type of people who would blow off someone without giving them a chance? So don't call it "blowing him off.
" When my grandfather takes me fishing, we catch and then we release.
We've already caught him.
Now it's time to release! Ok, I don't know.
Now, I'm totally confused.
I guess there's only one way to settle this.
Let's take a vote.
Who thinks we should get rid of him? All those in favor whoa! Did we all just agree? Like a grey dorsal fin cutting through the water, I did not see that coming.
So you guys went to all this trouble because the guy is boring? Haven't you ever tried to cut somebody loose? Whoa, can we please not use the phrase "cut loose" while we're up here? Anyway, once we decided to get rid of Tom, the problem was who was going to tell him.
Guys, I think the person who does it should be really sweet and nice and sincere and likable.
I know what you're doing.
You're just buttering me up.
- I was talking about Jasmine.
- What about me?! - Ok, we have a volunteer! - I'm not doing it! - I'm not doing it either! - I'm not doing it either! Ok, new idea.
We don't blow him off.
We get him to blow us off.
Good thinking.
And I know how.
We pretend to be really needy.
Good idea.
That totally worked with your last boyfriend.
And who was the last girl you dated? Oh wait, I remember.
It was your grandma when you took her to the homecoming dance.
Hey.
No one pops and locks like Nana.
Ok, we need to find Tom another group.
The trick is finding a group who would be thrilled to have any new friend.
What up, playas? This is a crowd that loves shark week, am I right? How would you like every day to be shark week? If you think you're sticking us with boring Tom Bigham, you've got another thing coming.
I mean, that guy is about exciting as two neutrons.
Talk about no charge! Well, I tried the brainiacs, the jocks, the English as a second language crowd, and the geeks, computer and theater! I'm telling you, no one wants the guy! Ok, we can't give him away.
There's only one thing left we can do.
I knew we'd be back to this, but you gotta be sure, because once I call Bernie, there's no going back.
Let's call Bernie and his goons "plan B.
" Just to be clear, on our budget, we don't get the goons.
It's just Bernie.
We just need to tell him the truth.
I hate that we have to do this, but what were we expecting? I know.
Not everyone can transition into the group as well as I did.
I don't remember it going that smoothly.
You just became my best friend forever! As soon as Tom gets here, we'll just tell him.
Quickly and precisely.
Like pulling a tooth.
Kind of like the tooth that Tom pulled from the shark that day that was calm, almost too calm darn it! I'm catching his boring! Hey, Tom.
Have at.
I sea's talk.
Ok, but first, check it out.
My grandma sent me Eddie's famous tacos all the way from California.
And I want to share them with my new crew! Oh no! They're ruined.
I guess they must've gotten broken up on the flight.
Yes, well, things break up.
Cell phone signals.
Tacos.
Sometimes even friends.
Are you ok? He's having a mini panic attack! I'm guessing.
Just thinking about those tacos on a plane flight freaked me out.
I'm like really, really, really afraid of heights.
- Oh, no you poor thing.
- How awful.
Well, thanks for the taco debris, but we have to tell you something.
Yeah I guess I kind of knew this was coming.
You did? You're my new best friends.
I knew you wouldn't miss my birthday! - Oh, the birth day.
- Oh, it's your day of birth.
Happy Birthday, Tom.
Here's the deal.
We've decided that I just got to say, it is so peaceful having five minutes without Tom.
Am I the only one that feels guilty about ditching him? I mean, those excuses we gave.
Hey, what are guys doing here? I thought you all had to visit your individual grandparents.
We were actually out getting you a birthday present.
- You were? - We were? We were.
- What'd you get me? - Yeah.
What'd we get him? You're going to love it.
We're taking you skydiving! - We are? - We are.
Sky diving? Like from way up in the sky? I'm I'm Oh, no.
That's right.
Guys, we forgot.
He's afraid of heights.
Right.
And that's awful because skydiving is something we love to do.
You do? Yeah, something we thought we could share with you.
That's right.
In fact, we go almost every weekend.
That's why they call us the thrill-seeking height-loving danger kids.
I guess it's going to be tough for you to be a Thrill-seeking height-loving danger kid.
If you're afraid of heights.
Yeah, I don't think I could ever jump out of a Tom, we're really sorry.
Gosh, this is gonna put a real kink in our friendship.
Yeah, I guess so.
The worst part is you were becoming such a part of the group.
- I wish we'd known.
- Well, the thought was there.
But hey, there are tons of kids at school who aren't height-lovers.
- Or thrill-seekers.
- Or danger kids.
- Best of luck, Tom.
- You're so great.
- The best.
- We're going to miss you, buddy.
I feel so bad, but it just had to be done.
No.
The fear I have of losing you as friends is even bigger than my fear of heights.
New guy say what? I've got to get over my fear, and with you guys, I know I can.
Hey, if I can get back on the surfboard after what happened, I can handle this.
I mean, picture it.
I'm paddling on my board, and the water is totally calm Almost too calm.
That's not even close to what happened, Garrett.
Yeah, that's not how we walked to the plane at all! I am freaking out! I can't jump out of an airplane.
I nearly wet my pants putting on this flight suit.
Would you chill out? No one is jumping out of a plane.
Believe me, Tom is going to bail.
He's right.
The poor guy spent the whole training session curled up in a corner, not moving or saying a thing.
Yeah, it's the most exciting thing he's done since we met him.
There's no way he's getting on that plane.
I have chills.
I'm shaking.
Literally shaking when I think about how, with your love and support, I'm getting over my fear of heights.
This is the kind of experience that's going to bond us for life.
For life? Boy, we are really high up.
Yeah, now I know how Eddie's famous tacos felt.
And we all know what happened to them.
Crunch! You guys are the best, cracking jokes to relax me.
It's ok, it's just a little turbulence.
Happens all the time.
Whoa!, that doesn't happen all the time.
Logan, if this is the end, I want you to know that even though we fight all the time, I am so grateful to have you as my twin brother, and I love you with all my heart.
Cool.
Cool?! Cool?! That's all you have to say? Fine.
I want you to know That, um Oh.
Never mind.
We're ok.
I'm not going to get my deposit back on these pants, but we're going to live! Hello? Guys? Aren't we forgetting someone? Number six? - Tom, we're not into you! - Delia! Hey, life's short.
I think we all learned that a second ago.
Tom, we don't really skydive.
It was just a way to convince you that maybe this us and you Wasn't right.
Why would you do that? Because we made a mistake.
We thought there was something missing in our group and that you might be the answer, but I'm so sorry, we were wrong.
I guess we have a lot of history together, and that would make it hard for anyone to come in.
That, and you're incredibly dull.
Delia! Maybe our mistake was trying to force a friendship and having expectations.
What if we start again and see if it happens naturally? Did we vote on that? I don't remember voting on that.
Are you kidding me? Be friends with you guys? After this?! In our defense, if you knew what "plan B" was, you'd be thanking us.
This is unbelievable.
I have never felt so attacked in my life.
Well, except for that one day.
So I'm paddling on my board.
It was calm, almost too calm It was this tooth! So there I was at 10,000 feet.
And the engine totally cuts out.
We're in a nosedive Well, at least he finally has a new story.
Shh.
I want to hear how this ends.
It's too bad it didn't work out with Tom.
We had such high hopes in the beginning.
Well, just because you want something really badly doesn't mean you can will it to happen.
I don't know.
I think sometimes persistence pays off.
Worked the first time I met you guys.
Please, please, please, please, please.
Fine! Yeah.
Glad we finally reeled you in.
Hey, how about after school we go see a movie? "Destroyer III" just opened.
I was thinking "Lilies in the Meadow".
Vote? Okay, if that's how you wanna play it.
We win! Not so fast, sister.
Anyone for a "Destroyer III"? Up top.
