South of Nowhere s01e03 Episode Script

- You are so full of it.
- If I'm lying, I'm dying.
Now, there is a good story.
He doll, over here.
He Clay, come here man, I need you to back me up on something.
- I guess I know where we stand.
- Don't make that leap, man.
- Maybe there's a reason.
- It's gotta be a good one.
Tell them bout the night at the golf course.
They don't believe me.
You mean the night my brother was taken up by aliens? It's correct, man.
It was in the papers.
No lie.
- I got the headlines.
- See I told you.
I was sitting in a golf cart in the lake.
Naked It's hysterical.
One of the ground keepers found me, I told him I had no idea how I got there.
Then I told I've been abducted by aliens.
And he totally bought it.
But that is only because he had his own alien medical research.
I'm so excited.
My dad's gonna finally be able to see me play.
I can't believe he's never seen you do that before.
He's always been on the road with his band, so Well, we'll be there and try to bring some people.
I don't care who comes as long as you guys are there.
We'll be your own personal fans.
We'll rush in front of the stage.
Get all crazy, and scream and yell and fling ourselves on stage.
I've always wanted to be a groupie.
No wait.
That's not true.
But I’ve always wanted to know someone in a band.
You gotta aim higher, Spence.
He can't stand it when he's not the center of attention.
See that's where he got it wrong.
He should be making you the center of his attention.
I know I would.
Really? Okay, now, I want my outfit to have the right blend of rocker-smoking-sexiness.
And I'm-no-slave-to-fashion attitude.
That shouldn't be hard.
That's what you look like everyday.
I think it's perfect as long as you plan to accessorize with a shirt! - You are such a strange girl.
- You would know! What? I'm nervous for my dad to see me play.
I've tried so hard to be good at what he's great at.
I just don't think it's gonna be enough.
Are you kidding? He's gonna be so proud of you! I hope.
We just don't have the closest relationship.
I had to go through his road manager in order to invite him to the show which pretty much defines my entire childhood with him.
Any time I wanted to figure something out about his life, I'd look to a Rolling Stones magazine.
And he knows even less about mine.
Sorry.
That sucks.
But, I mean, he is coming.
Maybe he wants to make up for lost time.
Fix it.
Maybe.
You're dead sucker.
So mom has asked me about Sean the other day.
What kinda guy he is, stuff like that.
What did you say? I told her he looked like a gangster and I wouldn't be surprised if he sold drugs.
Why did you say that? Psych.
You gotta get round at the screen, boy.
Don't joke about that stuff.
Sean has been cool with me since we got here.
Which is more than I can say for a lot of people at King.
Yeah man, he's got your back.
Just like you got arrested by the cops our first week in town.
Listen to me, listen to me.
That's not even about Sean, That's about LA.
He's not who you think he is.
Why don't you Why don't you get to know him? Look.
I know this is important to you.
But there's gotta be some better guy you can hang out with.
Okay, you know what? Why don't we agree to not judge each other's friends? Hi.
Speaking of bad judgment in friends.
So on Saturday you guys should just meet me at Gray.
Your names will be on the list.
- Spencer, you want me to pick you up? - Yeah.
Desperately, I'm sure.
I need to talk to you.
Alone! You better get used to that whole alone thing, cause your boyhe's moving on.
- Bite me, queer eye.
- Not if you were the last Barbie on Earth.
So, I have a fabulous idea.
Saturday night, you and I are gonna have a wicked hot date.
Which we desperately need.
Sherry's on call as a night manager at the Fairfax Suites.
- And she'll get us a great room.
- Saturday? Yeah but When you see what I'm wearing, you forget what day it is.
I swear.
Sounds great, but Can't we do it another night? I kinda have some plans I don't wanna break.
Excuse me? I do not take rain checks.
Let me guess, you're doing something with the Ellen twins? Spencer's not gay.
No? Because I'm starting to wonder about you.
So you'd better get busy baby, or someone else will be fringing my benefits.
I'll take my chances.
That's all good.
Keep it small, man.
Don't be sending out the word, making flyers, putting it on a pipe.
It's nothing, no worries, it'll be really slick, you know what I'm saying? - Look who has time for us now.
- His main crew must be busy.
What's up men? Something in store for this weekend? Saturday, yard party, my house.
- Girls, music, the usual.
- Sounds good.
- Yeah, for those who are invited.
- But it's up to you Clay.
We just thought that you wanna be doing what your main crew had planned for you.
Whatever that is.
Going to the mall.
Making a run at the rich girls.
Blending with society.
- Fun.
- Avoiding the community.
I don't get this but Okay.
See you guys around.
I have to catch my ride.
Your boy's in the locker room in front of the mirror.
Probably working on his second string line.
Actually, I was looking for you.
Excellent choice.
I've decided to break my "one guy at a time" rule.
Broaden my horizons.
- See what Ohio has to offer.
- Ready to trade up? My Saturday night just broke open.
Are you up for it? I will be.
Easy, cowboy.
It's just an audition.
- You're not that old! - I am tonight! - Hey! You guys made it! - Wow.
You look great! - Are you ready? - As ready as I'm gonna be.
I told Bernie to put me up at the end of her set.
My dad's gonna be late.
He likes to slip in after the show starts.
Doesn't wanna steal anyone's thunder.
Two vodka cranberry.
Okay, you're good.
Now who's the other one for? - The girl at the end of the bar.
- Oh, she's cute.
And a minor.
So you better behave or I'll take a closer look at your ID.
- Oh Geez.
- Sorry, yours is a virgin.
But it doesn't have to be.
I'm so the better friend.
Here, have some of my poison.
To Ashley.
I'm gonna go head over to the stage.
Talk to the sound guy and try not to be nervous.
Here.
Save some for me.
I was really excited when Glenn said he wanted me to come over here - for us to meet you guys.
- Well thanks.
Hey, everyone! I'm heading out.
- Glenn, can I use your car? - Sure man.
If it's okay with Madison we take hers tonight.
Yeah, sure.
Wouldn't wanna be the spoiler and wreck Clay's plans to get out.
Listen, you did leave us Sean's address and phone number, right? - Yeah it's on the table.
- And you check your cell phone? - Yeah.
- Okay.
- Midnight, Clay.
- Okay, yeah.
- Have fun.
- Thank you.
So You know she's still Glenn's girlfriend.
And the word is she's a man eater.
Cover me in syrup and give her a fork! Just take it slow.
Until you're sure you know what she's really up to.
- Whether it's about you or him.
- Trust me, it's all about me now.
Bring a girl home to see the folks always seals the deal.
I can't decide if you're brilliant or evil Or both.
- Keys.
- I know, I know Waitwait, wait, wait What about Madison? Hey, I'm where I wanna be.
Oh my god! This is awesome, I mean, you're gonna be so awesome! This whole night is awesome! Yeah, awesome.
Awesome! What? What?! What? Okay, stop.
You're drunk right now and I cannot take care of you.
I don't need anyone to take care of me.
Great.
You know what? You're the one who's supposed to be taking care of me right now.
My dad hasn't even shown up yet and I'm starting to wonder if he ever will.
It just sucks, okay? Ash, you're dad's not a no-show.
You said he's always late.
Just, don't give up, okay? Yeah, whatever.
Look, I'll meet you out there.
I have to get it together before I go on stage.
You're gonna be great.
You're gonna be great.
Please leave your name, number and message after the beep.
Uh, hey dad.
It's me, Ashley.
I'm just calling to check in on you.
It's like ten o'clock and I go on in fifteen minutes okay, wellI hope to see you soon.
Alright, bye.
- I'll catch you on the next.
- Nobody, baby, what do you know about it.
- Hey you fellows.
- Are you lost? I'm impressed.
I didn't think you'd choose the party with the brothers.
Oh, okay.
So that's what this is about? You think I'd rather hang out with Glenn and his friends? Go ahead, play this next.
Did you or did you not walk past us to their table the other day? Okay.
He actually called me over to vouch for some stupid story he was telling.
You did know that, right? So, it wasn't, it wasn't a big deal.
To some folks, it was.
You have got a lot to learn about what the gold standard of a big deal is in LA.
Work on that, Ohio boy.
I'm gonna bring a friend of mine to the stage.
She has Rock & in her blood.
Please welcome Ashley Davies.
Okay, well, this song has a lot of mileage, but I like to think that it still holds up.
Okay, my dad wrote it, and I would like to dedicate it to him And to my two friends who are always there for me.
This is "Hold On".
Spencer, are you sure you wanna do this? Do what, this? Spencer? Spenceryou okay? Look, I didn't mean for you guys to think I was choosing another group of friends - over you guys.
- Okay, so now you know.
But do I have to choose? My life has been about trying to blend rather than separate.
Why can’t I just roll with both? You can try.
But if, uh, put to it, I were to choose, then that's gonna be the boys that had my back since we were kids.
It's no shame, it's just the game.
Yeah, just like my brother and sister.
Check mate.
Got me.
Spencer, get it together.
Alright? We gotta get you to bed.
I thought we already did that! - No, we didn't, alright? You passed out.
- I'm sorry.
What the hell did you do to my sister? Nothing! It's okay! Guess I don't need to ask what you been doing with my girlfriend? It's pretty obvious.
Maybe if you were a better boyfriend she wouldn't be looking my way! - Man, she's just using you to get to me! - Don't you throw that at me.
Mmmno, no, no, no.
- This is not what it looks like.
- It's not? Because it looks like you've been getting dressed in the back seat of someone's Nissan Xterra.
- Aiden, isn't that what you drive? - Spencer, shut up.
- Hey, man, you shut up! - Both of you shut up! - This is all so wrong! - No, no, no, no, wait! No! You know what would make this so much more wrong? If Ashley was here! Shut up! - I mean, did this jack hole get you wasted? - No.
Spencer, are you drunk? No.
We'll take that as a yes.
Hey, sometimes people get caught up in the moment, the booze, the come on, whatever.
And I'm not saying it's okay.
But most times, it's not even about you.
So what? I'm just supposed to forgive them for not even being there when they were supposed to be? Hell, no! And for the record, I didn't serve your friend, Spencer.
I don't know who hooked her up but she is going to hate them in the morning.
Yeahbad move.
Honey, I suck.
I suck! My manager had the label come to see the show.
I had to do the whole dog and pony show, PR stuff.
Just this.
All night long.
I'm sorry I missed it.
Whatever dad.
If it's any consolation.
I can get you and a bunch of your friends to the show this week.
I'll think about it.
I'm just not really sure where I stand with my friends right now, either.
You know, your girl really rocked the house tonight.
She threw one out to you.
It's too bad you weren't here to catch it.
You know, she's right.
I should have been here.
You know what? I wasn't even expecting you to show up.
Think I'd be used to it by now, though, right? I'm sorry.
And I know that I keep letting you down.
Yeah, you do, dad.
I will try to do better.
Don't make promises you can't keep.
But you know what? It means a lot that you wanna be there for me.
Of course I wanna be there for you.
By the way, what was that song you shout out to me? "Hold On".
- Well, let me here that song now.
- Okay.
Spend your life searching, Waiting in line.
I know you're holding on, To one you can't find.
When the light is fading, And it's hard to see.
I hope you know, you're still a part of me.
So hold on.
Hold on to me.
Hold on.
Hold on to me.
Hey.
How you, uh, how you feeling? How was the rest of your weekend? Yeahother than being sick for the last two days and grounded for the next seven.
I'd say it's awesome! I'm sorry about that.
I kinda feel responsible.
Yeah, you and my playing with Ashley's flask.
- What was I thinking? - After three shots you weren't.
So, did I do anything with you that I should be embarrassed about? No, not at all.
I mean, it was great, until you passed out.
I'm so mortified.
Nah, don't be.
Hey, we're okay.
Thanks.
I just wish it was okay with Ashley.
You want me to go with you, help you explain? No, this one's mine, but thanks.
- I'll see you.
- Later.
I want my flask back.
Fine.
The smell alone starts up the yak-fest again.
Well, at least you had Aiden to hold your hair back.
Listen, about Aiden, I don't Don't explain.
I get it.
I've been there with him.
We're not together.
I was drunk and stupid.
And after the way I acted, I'm lucky that we're still friends.
Are you and I still friends? I could use a friend who I can count on in my life.
There're enough people who I can't.
But you can count on me.
I promise.
Please don't let Saturday night ruin us, okay? Forgive me? Forgiven, but you're on probation! I'll be better, I promise! I've been hearing that a lot lately.
Here.
Listen to this.
It's my dad's new album.
