Holly Hobbie (2018) s01e07 Episode Script

1
- I'm superstitious about
birthdays. All goes well and
you're in for a stellar year.
Someone pukes hotdog
on your shoes and, well,
tread carefully.
Planning is very important.
From the cake -devil chocolate,
of course- to the guest list.
But no matter how much attention
you pay to every detail,
some things are out of your
control. So what should you do
when it rains on
your Teddy Bear picnic?
Cancel, or change
the theme to mud soccer?
- Holly! We're gonna be
late for school!
- "Barnyard Slumber Party,
7PM Saturday." Oh.
Hon, we have a serious problem.
- Not enough glitter.
- I'll get the glue.
- No, no, no, no. Mr. Hilson
said if I'm late for bio again,
I get detention. We need to go!
- Not that you'd understand,
because you're you,
but birthday invites set
the tone for the whole party.
- Mom, can you please
talk some sense into her?
- He's right, we need ribbon!
- Hm!
- Ah yes. Birthday Mom
has arrived.
- People are still talking
about my legendary football
stadium cake I made
for your 14th birthday.
- I can't believe you care
more about these invites
than your son's education.
- Aw, sweetheart, you're right.
Which is why if you helped us,
it would go a lot faster.
- Uh-uh. You know how I feel
about glitter.
- Consider this
exposure therapy.
You know what?
On second thought, just go get
the lunches from the fridge, OK?
Here's Piper's invite.
- Aw!
(clears throat)
- How is she, by the way?
- Fine? I don't know. She's been
kinda busy the last few days.
- OK.
And done! You get your bag,
I'll pack these up.
- Mr. Hilson's never gonna
believe I was late due to
glitter. I'm leaving.
(laughing)
- Wait!
If I ever get that angsty,
you'll let me know, right?
- Absolutely.
- Thank you. Mwah!
Love you, Birthday Mom!
Savannah!
- Sorry, Holls, can't come.
- But you've come to every
single one of my birthdays
since we were little kids.
- I know,
but Piper's birthday party
is the same day as yours
and she handed out
her invitations first.
- But her birthday isn't until
the end of the month. You must
have read the date wrong.
- Didn't you get your invite?
- Oh yeah, totally.
I just haven't had time
to look over it yet.
Anyhoo, keep your invite! I'll
clear things up with Piper.
- Good morning, class.
Today, we travel back
in time to 1939.
As the spark of World War II
ignites, countries must decide:
should they side with the Axis?
Or the Allies?
- Piper!
Piper!
Piper!
- What is it?
- I think there might have been
a wee bit of a misunderstanding.
You booked your birthday party
the same day as my actual
birthday.
- Holly! Eyes up front, please!
- Sorry!
Anyhoo, it's no biggie. You'll
just have to push your party.
- I don't think so.
- But your birthday isn't
until the end of the month.
- Shh! You're gonna miss
the best part!
- Right! Sorry.
Won't happen again.
You can have any other weekend!
Here's your invite!
Do you have one for me?
Maybe we could have
our birthday parties together?
- No thanks. And sorry,
I don't have an invite for you.
Cost cutting measures.
I had to let some people go.
- Excuse me?
- Things just weren't
working out,
so there were some terminations.
You understand.
- I really don't. Why
are you being so mean?
Is it something I did?
- Alright, Holly.
See me after class. You're gonna
learn about the Vichy regime
one way or another!
- Amy!
Amy Abbasi! SOS!
Piper's been possessed by an
evil spirit. She didn't invite
me to her birthday party,
which is the same day
as mine for some reason.
- I tried to tell her
not to do this.
- You knew about this?
Why is she being so so
quarrelsome?!
- We got her mom fired.
- We most certainly did not.
- Well, that's how she sees it.
Remember the whole
Pickle Factory poisoning
the creek debacle?
- It was last week.
- Right. Well,
to cover the costs
of the new filtration system
they had to let some people go.
And, well, Piper's mom
was one of them.
- Oh my gosh.
But you had just as much to do
about the protest as I did.
Why is she only mad at me?
- Because your mom is
a bigwig at the company,
so Piper assumes that she had
something to do with
the decision.
- My mom doesn't handle
that type of stuff.
- I know this sucks, and Piper
is being supes irrational.
I am 100% on your side.
But what can you do?
Piper handed out
her invites first.
Sorry, gotta go.
- But what should I do?!
- Change your party?!

- They've hung people for less.
- Than refusing
to drive your little sister
to a friend's house?
- You broke a promise.
That's treachery.
- Yeah, but I also promised Lyla
I'd help her study.
- Biology?!
- I get it, Robbie.
A bro's got needs.
- Can't you just
watch wrestling here?
- Levi's cousin is the only one
who has pay-per-view!
- It's a must-watch match!
- Sorry, Lyla's already
on her way here. I'll make it
up to you. I promise.
- I've seen how much
promises mean to you.
- This stinks.
- Don't count us out just yet.
Your cousin's place
is just 20 miles of straight
country road away, right?
- What, you wanna hitchhike?
- No way.
That's super dangerous.
I've got a much better idea.
- Not to critique
your table-setting methods,
but it's spoon on the outside,
knife on the inside.
- Are you mansplaining
how to make a table?
- Martha Stewart taught me.
- Yeah?
- Suddenly lost my appetite.
For the rest of my life.
- How was your day, kiddo?
- Did people like my--
our invitations?
- Oh yeah! It's just
as I was handing them out,
I was thinking
- Oh no. She's sentient.
- It's just, I invite the same
eight girls every year,
and this year, I was wondering
if I should be more inclusive.
I would hate for someone to get
their feelings hurt just because
they didn't get an invitation.
- So you want
to invite more people?
- Yeah. My whole class!
- Uh including boys?!
- A co-ed sleepover?! What do
you think this is, The O. C?
- No, Dad. Not a sleepover.
Just a party.
Picture this: a stage
in the barn. Lights. Music.
- Karaoke!
- Oh my goodness, YES!
- Sorry just got swept away
in the moment.
- OK, OK, wait. Did something
-or someone- change your mind?
- No!
- Mm-hmm.
- My 14th birthday marks
a new chapter in my life
and I see no better way
to celebrate that than
to surround myself
with each and every person, girl
OR boy, that has influenced me
along the way.
- OK, but no spin-the-bottle.
- We won't even tap the shoe!
- They're coming up with new
ones. Alright. On one condition.
- Name it!
- I get to
try out my Shania
on the karaoke machine.
- YES! Whatever you want!
Thank you thank you thank you!
Alright, well, I'm going
to leave you guys to
whatever all this is.
- What? We're just
setting the table.
- Uh-huh.
- How is this not dangerous?!
This is the worst idea of all
time. Please tell me we're not
really doing this.
- Will you be quiet? I'm trying
to learn to drive, here.
- But--
- Shh!
Got it.
(engine starts)
- Oh my gosh, we're moving!
- Oh my gosh, we're moving!
- I was wrong.
This is the best idea ever!
We need tunes.
(turns radio on)
- Um oops!
- Think of all the drive-thrus
we can drive through!
- Well, we're not going anywhere
unless you be quiet and
let me concentrate.
- Chill! There's literally
nothing out here you can hit.
I always knew we would do a best
friends' road trip, I just never
thought it would be so soon!
(double thud)
- What was that?
- Nothing. Keep going.
- No! We totally hit something!
- Probably just a rock?
Phew. It's just a turtle.
- JUST a turtle?
JUST a turtle?!
- It may be a tortoise.
- He's still alive!
- See?! Not a murderer!
- He looks in distress.
What do we do?!
- Mouth to mouth?
If you're not afraid of
getting salmonella poisoning.
- Forget wrestling!
This is a medical emergency.
We're done.
- But--
- We're done.
- I know you already RSVP'd
to Piper's party,
but I didn't want you
to feel left out.
- A boy-girl party?
Karaoke?! Thanks.
- You can always
change your mind.
It's a woman's right to choose.
Think you can make it?
- Yeah, I'll check my schedule.
- Holly, what is this about?!
- I know, I know.
Not as elaborate as my last
ones, but you have to give me
points for getting them out
so quickly. Do you like
the little paint flecks?
I used the technique
that we learned in art class
and your face is looking
very angry right now
so I'm gonna do that thing
where I continue talking--
- Better? Good.
Now, how could you?! Everyone
is canceling on Piper's party.
I know she was being a jerk
before, but that does not give
you the right to be one, too.
- Need I remind you
that you're the one who
told me to change my party?
- I meant change the date,
not try to make it better
so nobody goes to Piper's.
- I'm just trying to give people
a choice. What was I
supposed to do,
just not have a birthday party
at all? Was I just supposed
to sit home alone on my
birthday, refreshing
social media
to see how much fun my friends
were having without me?
- I know it sucks,
but sometimes you have
to be the bigger person.
- She stole my birthday!
- Don't be so willfully obtuse.
- She's the one who's
being obtuse.
And acute!
And the other angle.
- You mean right angle?
Are you saying Piper is right?
- Do not try to trap me
with math, Amy.
- Piper is going
through a lot.
Did you even try
to understand?
Now the only person left
going to Piper's party is me!
(bell ringing)
- You're not coming
to my birthday party?
And you're seriously
gonna take her side?
She's the one who started this!
- This isn't about sides,
I just need you--
- You know what?
Tell it to Piper. 'Cause
I don't wanna hear it.

- I can't believe you're 14!
- How do you feel?
- I don't know.
Pretty much the same?
- You mean to tell me
that you've been 14 for only
a minute and you don't feel
like a totally new person?
So what are you and Amy gonna do
today? I love it that you always
spend your birthday together.
- I don't know yet,
but it's going to be the best
day ever no matter what.
- Uh, heck yeah! We've got
a barn to decorate!

(birthday wishes)
- That was amazing!
- Holly,
this birthday party is so cool.
- Thank you!
- Buckle up, Braedon's
gonna do Shawn Mendes--
and he is not
a good singer.
- You got the stuff?
- Took a while,
but yeah.
Everything's in here.
Some worms,
plants from the pond,
fish pellets
- Good. We gotta keep feeding
this little guy until
he gets better.
Ain't that right, Samson?
- Why isn't he moving?
- He's a turtle.
They're slow. Oh no!
He's barely breathing!
I think he's in distress!
Levi, look up what to do
in a turtle health crisis.
This is bad, this is so, so bad!
- It doesn't say. I think we
should just take him to a vet.
- But that would mean
I'd have to tell my dad.
- Or we can just
take the car again.
(pop song)
- Pretty awesome party, if I do
say so. But where's Amy?
- At Piper's.
- Oh, are they coming together?
- Not exactly.
- Well, did they not get a ride?
'Cause I can go pick them up.
- They don't wanna be here.
And I'm not sure I want them
to be, either.
- Hey
Holly, Amy is
your best friend.
- Who chose Piper's
birthday over mine.
- Piper is having
a party tonight too?
- She tried to sabotage
my birthday because
her mom got fired.
And she thinks
it was your fault.
- So that's why you wanted
to have a bigger party.
Holly, I really wish you
would've told me earlier,
'cause we could've figured out
a way to make it work
for everyone.
I mean, imagine
how she must feel.
- How she feels?! So you're
taking her side, too?
- Honey, she just moved to this
town, and her mother, who is a
single parent, just got fired.
I mean, it must feel like her
whole world is falling apart.
- That doesn't give her the
right to ruin my birthday
party on purpose!
- Check your attitude.
You sound like a spoiled brat.
You've really
disappointed me.
Well, enjoy your party. I hope
it's everything that you wanted.
(knocking)
- Come in.
- Hey,
I nabbed one for you before your
mom took them out to the barn.
Red velvet, your favourite.
Oh did you have a baby?
- His name is Samson
and I think he's in trouble.
- It's OK, honey. Let me see.
Huh.
What happened to him?
- Promise you won't get mad?
- I promise to react
appropriately to the situation.
- We gotta take him to a vet.
- No, no, no, not until
you tell me what happened.
- I hit him with the car.
- What?
- Everyone was treating me
like some stupid little kid who
doesn't matter, and all I wanted
was someone to drive us
to Levi's cousin's place
so we could watch wrestling,
but everyone was falling all
over Holly for her birthday and
Robbie broke his promise, so
Are you OK?
- No, I'm not OK.
That's an incredibly
dangerous thing to do.
- Do you have any idea how
frustrating it is to have to
depend on people for everything?
- You could've killed yourself!
You could've killed
someone else!
- I know.
And don't you dare tell me
that I've been punished enough
by watching this turtle suffer.
- I wasn't gonna tell you that
that at all.
Listen, we will figure out
a suitable punishment
when we get back
from the vet's, huh?
Let's go. I'm driving.
- Come on, Piper, don't cry.
It'll be OK.
We can have fun
just the two of us.
- I can't believe
this is happening.
- It's not because people
don't like you.
It's all Holly's fault.
She's being a total jerk.
- I can't believe you're
even friends with her!
- Right now, me neither.
C'mon, it's gonna be OK.
- What was that?!
- So now what do we do?
- Well, I'm not thrilled
that you stole the car.
But I'm glad you told me
the truth. That takes guts.
The vet said he wouldn't survive
in the wild anymore, but he
might make a good pet.
If you're willing
to look after him.
- So I'm a turtle mom now?
- Hmm
"Don't let me down, Heather!"
Also you're grounded.
- At least I won't be alone.
Isn't that right,
little guy?
(crying softly)
- I'm glad I settled with this
outfit, 'cause we would've been
wearing the same thing.
Not the time for jokes,
I get it.
So is it because
of Piper's birthday?
The pickle factory?
Her mom being fired?
- How do you know
all this?
- I do a lot of listening.
It's amazing what people
say in public.
- If you're here to tell me
I'm a horrible person,
you can save your breath.
That's all I've been hearing
all night, and frankly,
that song's getting
a little old.
- No, I'm not gonna say that,
it's your birthday!
Standing up to the pickle
company was brave. If people
can't see that-- their fault.
- This is my party and
they don't even miss me.
- So forget about them.
The world is bigger
than this stupid town.
- I just wanna escape.
- So pack your bags.
- What?
- Let's hit the road.
I'm serious.
- Well, the only thing
I want for my birthday now
is to get out of here.
