High School (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

Welcome Home

Would you get down from there?
You're gonna fall and break
your neck or something.
I'm so glad you're finally
done babysitting Sara.
Do you ever get tired of
dropping everything for her?
I became a mom when I was 22.
And I've just gotten to this
point where I don't want anyone
to need anything from me anymore.
Why were you and Sara
sleeping like that?
Girls aren't supposed to do that.
God, Mom, I know.
I think we should just
go back to being friends.
Are you serious?
What's wrong?
Can I stay in here with you?
About 40,000 gallons
of crude oil spilled
Hey, a few of us are gonna watch
the Flames game later
tonight, if you wanna come.
Oh, uh, I can't. I have plans.
It'll take about a week to clean up.
The oil spill conditions
in Rochester County
Store manager to aisle six.
Store manager to aisle six.
You want to hear a
joke about paper towels?
Okay.
Never mind. It's tear-ible.
So, you're not gonna tell me?
No, like, it's tear-ible
Like, tear.
Even though these beautiful species
are declining in numbers,
they are still found throughout
the oceans of the world.
The migration paths are often disturbed
by whalers and by the
sound of ocean vessels.
Try doing that with any other brand.
You'll receive two extra-large rolls
for the rock bottom low price of 14.99.
That's two rolls for 14.99.
And an extra two absolutely free.
Hi, Dad.
Can we come in?
Uh, yeah.
Hey, come on. Patrick is leaving.
Okay, seriously?
What's wrong?
I'm just tired.
You've been tired for a month.
Are you depressed?
Mom, stop.
Well, forgive me for showing
concern about your mental health.
How about this? If I need your
help, I'll call the crisis line.
Okay. Well, it's good to see
that whatever's going on with you
isn't interfering with
your ability to be rude.
Get up.
Do you have a baby carrot?
What?
Yeah, that was a long shot.
Um, arms. I need arms.
Um, can I borrow your stick?
What stick?
The one up your ass.
Is there anything you wanna talk about?
Did Mom tell you to ask me that?
No, it's just
I don't know.
I feel like I wanna help you,
but I don't know what to do.
I'm fine.
Have you ever seen a snowman before?
Why is his torso so long?
He has a swimmer's body.
I'm getting sticks.
I wanna remind you guys that,
uh, we have the auditions
for this year's play
coming up this week.
Uh, it's one of my
favorites, 12 Angry Men
- Oh, my God.
- and Women.
Oh, and I'm sure the women
are what, prostitutes?
- Or housewives?
- Yeah.
Well, actually, the characters,
uh, don't have any names,
just numbers.
Juror One, Juror Two, and so on.
So anyone, any gender,
can audition for any part.
- I'm not hungry.
- Come on. You have to eat.
I'll get it.
Hello?
- Sara?
- Hi.
I knew it.
Everybody says you two
are so hard to tell apart,
but I know you weren't Tegan.
Hi, Maya. Hang on.
It's for you.
Hello?
Are you serious?
No, you didn't.
What? I can't believe I missed it.
Hello?
Hi.
Hey, I was just thinking about you.
- You were?
- Yeah.
Um, do you remember that time
that Stacy got her hair caught
in the tent zipper and then
you had to cut a chunk out
of her hair to free her?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. It was crazy.
I didn't know if I should
call or could call or whatever.
Of course you can.
I'm glad you did.
Me too.
We should hang out.
Sure. Saturday?
Oh, um, I can't, I'm busy on Saturday.
But Sunday? We could meet downtown.
- Yeah, that would be
- And tell Tegan to come too.
- Okay.
- Okay. Cool.
I got to go, but I'll see you Sunday.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Just don't turn into an asshole.
I'm not gonna change, but it can't
not have an impact on who I am.
What are you guys talking about?
I got the lead in 12 Angry Men.
I'm pretty sure there's
not a lead in 12 Angry Men.
The whole point is that it's like, um
- An ensemble.
- Thank you.
Whatever. I had an idea
of how we could celebrate
my inevitable superstardom and
bring Sara back from the dead.
- What does that mean?
- Sara.
You've been moping around
for what feels like years.
And I, for one, I can't take it anymore.
We've got to bring you back
to the world of the living.
And I have just the thing.
There's a rave on Saturday.
- Wait, Calgary has raves?
- Oh, yeah.
- And we're going.
- Who's we?
Do you not know how "we" works?
It's all of us.
Yeah. That could be cool.
No, no way. Raves are illegal.
Mom's never gonna let you go.
Besides, I have plans
with Maya on Saturday.
- You can bring Maya.
- Yeah.
And honestly, just tell your
mom that you'll be at my place.
She wouldn't let us do that either.
- She doesn't know you.
- Well, she can get to know me.
Come on.
Fine.
But I still don't
think it's a good idea.
Nice.
Hi, Mom.
- Hi, Mom.
- Hey.
Wait a second. You're their mom?
But you're like a cool, hot supermodel.
Yeah, yet, uh, somehow
I manage to have it all.
- I'm Simone.
- I'm Natalie.
- Hi.
- I'm sorry.
I don't mean to distract you.
They told me that you were
hard at work on your thesis,
which sounds so cool, by the way.
But I was like, "I can't
be a guest in your house
without introducing myself to your mom."
- Can you imagine?
- Yeah, I can, actually. Yeah.
So how do you guys know each other?
Oh. Sara and I are in
drama class together.
- Oh.
- And not to brag,
but I did kind of just get
the lead in a school play,
so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be
scouted, moving to Hollywood soon.
Well, I'm glad that Tegan
and Sara got to know you
before your meteoric rise to fame.
But unfortunately I will have to
leave them behind once I've made it.
Yeah. That's my endgame too.
Well, I should get back to work.
It was very nice to meet you.
You can come back anytime.
- Thank you.
- I'll walk you out.
Awesome.
Well, she seems pretty unhinged,
but I do enjoy her.
Yeah, Natalie is really cool.
It's been so great
making a friend like her.
- Good.
- I was actually wondering
if me and Tegan can stay the
night at her house on Saturday.
- Both of you?
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Yeah. That's
that's great. That's fine.
Cool. Thanks.
Guys, is there anything
that we should know?
- What do you mean?
- Like, is it dangerous?
Is there a rave code or something?
What's a rave code?
If I knew the answer to
that, I wouldn't be asking.
Don't worry about anything.
You're gonna have so much fun,
your face is gonna explode.
Especially because
I got us some little gifts
to have once we get there.
What is this?
That's the thing you said
you never wanted to try.
- Here, I'll take yours.
- Nuh-uh. This is mine.
What? You've been pressuring
me like a bad kid on Degrassi
- and now you don't want me to?
- No, I do. You're gonna love it.
I wish I had a sister to corrupt.
Is Andrew meeting us there?
Um, we just broke up.
Shit. I'm sorry.
- It's fine.
- I didn't know.
It's more than fine. He was boring.
- You think everyone's boring.
- Well, they are.
What about you?
Are you dating anyone?
Guys, which eye do you like
better, this one or this one?
Oh, my God. Neither.
Here, let me fix it.
This breaks a lot of
Mom's rules about safety.
Shall we?
I will later.
I wanna make sure you're good first.
Oh, she'll be great.
Whoa!
There's Maya.
Sara, I'll find you later.
Oh, hell yeah!
Come on.
Take off your backpack.
Come on, dance!
Whoo!
Yes!
Whoo!
Ali?
Natalie?
Excuse me.
I'm gonna get water.
Sara.
Your dance moves were transcendent.
Are you making fun of me?
I would never, ever make fun of you.
Where did he get a sandwich?
I think it was in his toque all night!
I saw him just take
it out and take a bite.
That was so casual!
That's actually amazing.
Sandwich toque guy is a god.
I love that your criteria for "god"
is "carries a sandwich in his hat."
And?
Okay. So two of us can take my bed,
and the other two can
take my brother's old room.
Do you guys have a preference?
It's whatever you think.
Well, Ali and I can take my bed.
Or unless it's a type of thing
where you guys are always together
and you want a break?
And Sara can sleep with Ali
and I can sleep with Tegan,
or, you know, whatever.
Uh, yeah, sure.
Yeah, that's fine.
Oh, shit.
Sorry.
Yeah, we're sorry.
We didn't want to lie to you.
We just knew you would say no,
and since we weren't going
to be doing anything bad
Yeah, it was just dancing.
That's all.
We were being really safe.
Where are you going?
Our house is that way.
I'm taking you to your father's.
I can't even look at you right now.
So you're dumping us off so you
don't have to deal with us anymore?
Real mature, Mom.
Yeah, I know when you're lying
to me, but I look past it.
But tonight, this this
is just it's insulting.
You knew that I wanted you to be happy.
You knew I wanted the two of
you to spend time together,
- and then you, what, you exploited that?
- No.
Yeah! Yeah, that's exactly what you did.
You have no idea what I
have to deal with every day.
And the last thing I need is to
be used and manipulated by you two.
Your bullshit is never-ending,
and you seem to do everything
but the things I ask you for.
I'm so I'm so sick of it!
Oh, my God, Mom. Relax.
- Get out.
- What?
Get out of the goddamn
car. You don't want a mom,
and I really don't want to
be one right now, so get out.
You're walking the rest of the way.
Get out!
Well, we're screwed.
I knew we shouldn't have done that.
I'm sorry.
Whatever.
Hi, Dad.
Can we come in?
Yeah.
You will not leave this house
for anything other than school.
Sorry you got grounded.
The only thing that really sucks
is not getting to hang with you as much.
But on the flipside,
it makes school something
I'll actually look forward to.
Tegan, come in here.
Look.
Whoa.
