South of Nowhere s01e09 Episode Script

Say It Aint So, Spencer (1)

Cover up, ladies, Ashley might get turned on.
Trust me, Madison, There is no chance of that.
It’s not fair that we have to get naked with her.
They ought to have one locker room for girls, one for boys, and one marked 'other'.
- Hey, Ash, what's going on? - Nothing.
Just forced to listen to this stupid locker room noise.
It’s her girlfriend.
Madison, give it a rest.
She must be the butch one in the relationship.
You know what? Ashley, stop.
It’s not worth it.
- You’re right.
She’s just jealous.
- Jealous? Of you? I mean, it must be really hard to accept the fact that your ex prefers lesbians.
I dumped him, stupida.
Really? That’s not what the rest of the school thinks.
And you’d better watch out.
I think Glenn’s even cuter than Aiden.
My God, Ashley, stop it.
Come on.
We have to go.
Mess with me again and you’ll so regret it.
Oh really? What’s gonna happen? Are we gonna have a rumble, chica? I cannot believe I’m at a Cougars basketball game.
- Cobras.
- Whatever.
C’mon, we had to support Glenn and Aiden.
You're turning me into a normal high school student.
What are you gonna have me do next, audition for the school musical? The debate team? Which would be perfect for you because you love to argue.
- Me? - Yeah! Come on! Come on, have some school spirit! Okay, my school spirit has been kicked out of me.
Over here, over here.
Are you blind? Hey, no! It's not time to go, that's the overtime buzzer.
What? There's more? Okay, I'm calling mom.
Let her know I'm gonna be late.
You're really embracing this whole normal teenager thing.
I'm serious, she's on this responsible parenting care, okay? She's only doing this for her man du jour because he has two sons.
- She's behaving like a normal mother? - Her version of it.
I've been kicked out of two private schools.
One more time I screw up and I’m off to some work camp where I have to, like, dig holes and wear beige.
Wait, she wouldn't really do that, would she? Hell yeah, she would.
She's been dying to kick me out of the house.
And I'm not about to give her any excuses.
- Okay, I can't find my cell phone.
- Where did you use it last? Before gym.
In the locker room.
But! The game? - Excuse me - Come on.
- No, I don't see your phone.
- It has to be here somewhere.
Maybe it's on lost and found.
I'll check the coach's office.
Guess you're gonna have to wait until tomorrow.
What are you doing? Breaking and entering.
At least that's the technical term.
Hey, I thought that only worked on TV.
Okay, look, just stay out here, make sure no one's coming.
- Glenn, Glenn Carlin.
- Yeah? You played great tonight.
You were the best player on the team.
- How much did you pay her? - Are you on the team? So did my mom finally invited you to dinner? Yes, I'm looking forward to it.
I think you deserve a victory dinner for how you have played tonight.
- He wasn't the only one on the court.
- Just the only one in the game.
- Yeah, you were amazing.
- I couldn't agree more.
- What's this? - An example of things to come.
You played a great game, son.
- Ron Aid.
I'm a scout for UOV.
- Baby this is great.
What did he say? Is that good? UOV drafted three players to NBA last year alone.
Sweet.
Hi.
Come on.
My phone isn't in here either.
Spencer.
Spencer? We've been watching Glenn for a while.
Your son has a brilliant future.
And we'd like to be a part of it.
I'm sure you would, but Glenn can't accept a gift like this.
Especially when it could affect his college eligibility and scholarship opportunities.
He gave the car to me.
It's not yours to give back, dad.
I won an academic decathlon and all they gave is a brass trophy and an oversized tee-shirt.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Carlin, please, reconsider.
At the very least, let him hold on to the car for a couple of days.
Please! Please! Okay, but this is not a commitment.
We have to talk about it.
- Oh, thank you so much, this is so cool.
- I know.
- This is exactly how I dreamed it.
- Yeah, but with a different guy.
Mom, dad, what a game, hu? I don't know what upset me more.
The fact that you took the blame for Ashley's breaking and entering.
Or that you followed her in after she had done it.
I was trying to keep her from getting in trouble.
Okay, I have tried to give Ashley the benefit of the doubt.
But this is exactly what I have been worried about.
She was looking for a cell phone mom, not trying to score drug.
That's enough, Spencer.
I thought you had more sense than this.
Go to your room.
Go to your room, that's it? What kind of punishment is that? No, Spencer, you are grounded for a month.
And that includes a thirty day cooler from Ashley too.
Why? I think a three-day suspension from school is enough.
Okay, I think you and I should discuss this later, as a team.
Go.
I have to get dinner on.
With that car, we'll be the top of the school.
Does this mean I get to keep the old full time? No.
Your mother and I haven't still decided what to do.
Yeah, Madison, my biggest concern is that Glenn not be obligated.
I mean there're a lot of colleges out there.
That's right.
It's an important choice.
If you should screw it up, you can screw up your whole life.
Well, there is no pressure.
Their gifting is illegal.
I really think we ought of report him.
Well, he, I mean, if it's not me, it's just gonna be somebody else.
I don't see the problem.
I think Glenn should enjoy the benefits of being sought after.
- Can I be excused? - Sure, honey.
No TV, no internet except for homework, definitely no phone.
During the suspension.
Ok? Got it? I'm not supposed to be on the phone, especially not with you.
But I'm glad you called.
Any luck finding your phone? No.
I called but no one picked up.
Look, I feel terrible about getting you in trouble.
I'll go down to security tomorrow and I'll fix everything okay? - No way! - Why are you taking the blame for me? I'm being completely selfish.
I don't want you to get expelled and shipped off to boot camp.
Life would just suck if you weren't around.
Hey, hold on, someone's calling from my phone.
- Hello who is this? - Who is this? I called my phone.
You have it and I want it back.
Too bad.
Madison? Hello? - Was it important? - Only to me.
Spence, I'm screwed.
How're the new wheels? There're good.
There're good.
It's, it's really cool to have.
But I mean, maybe dad's right.
Maybe I should give him back.
- You're serious? - Yeah.
Or maybe Madison's right.
Or mom, or Clay.
It's like I have so many people talking to me and telling me what to do.
I just don't know who to listen to anymore.
- Don't listen to any of them.
- Says the girl who's on suspension.
You should do what you think is right.
No matter what the consequences.
You're telling anybody I came to you for advice and I'm gonna kick your butt.
Like you could.
Glenn.
Let me guess.
You're not out here to say goodbye.
Listen, I don't think you should try to influence Glenn about this car.
Or the school he goes to, or anything else.
This is not your family, and really none of your business.
Glenn and I are a couple.
I have to help him look out for the best opportunities.
For you or for him? What's good for him is good for both of us, so why don't you just stay out of it? You wouldn't want Glenn to think you're jealous of him because all of this is not happening to you, would you? - Ready to go? - Sure baby.
Later, bro.
Bye, Clay.
So is she still there? Ugh, making out, as usual.
God, they can't even wait to pull out of the driveway before they start undressing each other? Really? - New leather's smell makes me hot.
- Oh, I gotta keep this car.
What's that? My stupid phone that's on vibrate.
You wanna get on the back seat? Oh, I gotta keep this car.
What? - I can explain.
- Good.
I'd like to see how you're gonna explain that message from Ben.
Okay I'll admit that maybe our relationship is more than just professional, but it's not no Arthur, we’re just Arthur.
Whatever you said to Madison really set her off.
Good.
Not for me.
She keeps wanting to know what type of girlfriend she was like.
Was she a good kisser, that sorta thing.
- Well, maybe she wants you back.
- Let's see, I'm a bench warmer.
And Glenn just got a new BMW.
I think not.
It's just.
She wants to know what type of girl she was.
It's weird.
Okay, she's weird.
You just - What is it with everybody today? - You are getting a lot of attention.
Clay, when is the best time to reach your sister at home, parent free? Dad's not in until 5, and mom's the X-factor.
Okay.
Cool.
But if you get caught Spencer will never get to hang with you.
- Can't you just wait three days? - No.
What is it with you? - Okay, and everybody else today? - Everybody else? Yeah, I thought I was special.
It's pretty scandalous this text message I just get.
What? Even for you, it's Okay, she is using my cell phone to tell everyone what I like to do in bed? She's right but I would never spell it wrong.
That explains your sudden popularity.
Bitch.
You'd better get her before blood is shed.
You know her.
I would not wanna get between those two girls.
No matter how tempting the picture.
I'm gonna grab a burger after class.
Then rock some videogames.
You down? Sure, as long as I can get out of the house Mom and dad have not been getting along.
When my folks were together, their fights were like watching a WWS smackdown.
And my mom's always won.
Now with Spencer getting busted and Glenn's new car, things are not cool.
His ride looks pretty cool to me.
If Glenn takes that car, he's gonna end up screwing up his college grant.
Make the wrong choice now and you're not gonna have the life you want.
Game over.
I can't believe she has his number.
Sherry, write this down.
Ash, play it cool.
Give me my phone, slut.
No.
Look, we've got pictures.
We don't want to stay.
Girl, that's not a picture of her.
That's you.
And Glenn.
Damn, I knew you were freaky, but I didn't know how freaky.
- Madison.
- Run along.
At least, you look thin in that angle.
Nice.
Good practice.
If you perform like that on a regular basis, you got a real career ahead of you.
- My man's consistent.
- Thanks.
Look, I gotta get back the car.
- What? - Why? I mean, it's cool you want me at UOV, but just you know, it lets me know that what I'm doing here is good and there's gonna be other schools.
No offenses but, bigger schools.
You may not get any other offers.
I'll roll those dice.
Good luck, Glenn.
And you might wanna have the interior detailed.
Just a thought.
Guys! - What are you doing here? - Excellent paparazzi photos.
You definitely have a future in seedy undercover work.
- Cool.
- Honey, who is it? Great.
He chooses today to come home early! Some kid selling candy.
Come upstairs.
Are you sure you don't want me to confess for the break in? I hate to see you in forced confinement.
Three days at home has its benefits.
By the end of the week, I'll be caught up on my beauty sleep.
Which you so need.
- Thanks.
- For what? I used to think no one cared about what happened to me.
And then I met you.
- Oh my God.
- What the hell is going on? Earthquake.
Oh, my God.
Spencer, Glenn.
- It this an earthquake? - Welcome to LA.
Why are they running? We can't feel it cause the car's moving.
This is an earthquake.
Get me home right away.
Watch the glass, guys.
I'd better see if my house is still standing.
- I'm sure your mom's fine.
- She's a witch.
But I'd hate it if the house fell on her.
Families are like that sometimes.
Most times, you're more than just family to me.
- There's no record of me.
- What? There're enough pictures of you kids to paper the walls.
I mean before I got here, It's like my life didn't even exist.
it'd better feel that way.
I'm sorry but, for us Our family became whole when you got here.
I gotta find my birth mother.
Whatever your mom and I can do to help, consider it done.
Thanks, dad.
- Geez.
- Grab a shovel.
- It's not as bad as that.
- This time.
You're really optimist.
I thought you liked living in LA.
I like living here, not dying here.
- Nobody died.
- Again: this time.
Is everything okay? - It's scary, hu? - I know.
I'm glad to be home.
I'm sorry, honey.
Let's worry about what's important right now: we're all safe.
Oh, my God! - That's not funny.
- That's so not funny!
