Holly Hobbie (2018) s01e10 Episode Script

1
- It's complicated. That's what
people say when they think
you can't handle
what they're talking about.
Like geometry. Or world peace.
Or relationships. But
doesn't that just teach us
that things that are complicated
are scary and bad?
Can't complicated
just be complicated?
Or even better, can't we
find a way to simplify?
And then I perform my special
bicentennial song,
which I still have to finish
writing with Tyler and Piper
on backup vocals.
- And I get my minions
to pull down the tarp,
make a short speech, reveal
our barn quilt and say:
"That's all, folks. Hope you
enjoyed it, because none
of you will be around
for the tricentennial."
- Nice job, ladies.
Although, I think you could
lighten up the end.
This event's getting a lot
of buzz. Local businesses
have sold all their tickets
and we're on track
to make over 25 grand.
- Oh! That's a lotta Hamiltons.
- How do you plan on spending
the money?
- A robot. A monkey.
A robot monkey.
- I've got a committee working
on ideas. Now, say goodbye
to your friends.
You've got homework.
- Ladies, I bid you farewell.
- Hey.
Has Tyler ever said
anything about me?
I think he was
sending out vibes.
Oh no. Do you have
a crush on him?
- Me. Have a crush
on Tyler Flaherty?
- He's cute.
- Sure, if you're into classic
good looks with a touch of
roguish charm.
- He's the only guy in town
who cares about something other
than sports, video games, or
jokes about bodily functions.
- Wait. Do YOU have a crush
on Tyler Flaherty?!
- More like a crushlet. But if
you swear you don't like him,
I'm gonna start sending vibes
back and we'll see what happens.
- I I don't.
- Great.
Now that we're friends,
I'd never want a boy
to get between us.
- Stop wiggling!
- I'm not wiggling.
- Oh, you are definitely going
to make an impression
on stage in this.
Look at you.
Cute as a doll.
- I don't wanna look cute!
- And I don't wanna be a stone
cold fox, but facts are facts.
Who put those bees
in your bonnet?
Is it Amy? Your dad said you two
still haven't worked things out.
- Well, there's that and
- You still haven't finished
your song for the bicentennial?
- And that Plus
Piper wants to start
sending Tyler vibes.
- And this is a problem because?
- We're too young, obviously.
- Obviously.
- It is NOT a crush.
I just don't want Piper
to start liking Tyler,
and Tyler to like her back,
because the thought of them
getting together
makes me want to--
- Toss your cookies?
- Yes.
- Sounds like a crush to me.
- It's all Tyler's fault.
Last night, I was feeling
particularly vulnerable,
and, well, he called me
"amazing".
- Jerk.
- I know.
What should I do?
- First, you have to figure out
what you want.
- I want to go back in time
and erase the last 24 hours.
- Until time travel exists,
maybe talk to Piper?
- Right. OK.
Yeah.
- Maybe you wanna change first.
- Good idea.
Thank you.
Hey, so remember how I said
I didn't have feelings
for Tyler Flaherty?
Of course you do, it was
like three hours ago.
Anyway, well, surprise!
Oh, hi.
- Piper can't talk right now.
- Stand down, Abbasi.
I don't care if Holly knows.
My mom and I are moving
to Des Moines.
- But I thought
you loved it here.
- I do.
But my mom can't find work,
and if we can't find $500
for rent, we're gonna get
kicked out of our house.
- I'm so sorry.
I wish there was
something I could do.
- OK, new subject.
You said you needed to talk?
Something about the
bicentennial?
- Yeah, I just
I agree with the mayor. I think
we should change the last line.
We may not want to call out
humanity's fragile existence.
Who knows,
maybe we'll even find a way
to reverse global warming
before the ocean rises
and obliterates
most of the country.
OK.

(rock music)
Oh, nice costume.
And Grandma said time travel
wasn't possible.
- Hey, Holly. Just practising
for the showcase.
Your old man's
still got it, huh?
- As long as you don't want me
to define what "it" is, yes.
You have still got it.
- Hm. What's up, sweetheart?
- So, I wanted to ask you
if I could get
an advance on my allowance,
and I know it's going to seem
like a lot but--
- Yeah, how much?
- $500.
- Did someone kidnap your horse?
- No.
- Then how could you need
so much money?
- Look, I can't tell you,
but I promise I'd never ask
if it wasn't important.
- Well, times are tough,
but there's a fifty
underneath the cookie jar.
I know it doesn't get you close
to your goal, but
- It's still a start.
Thank you, Dad.
- I think we need more glue.
- So you just gave Holly $50?
- Don't you trust our kids?
- Yes. To run away to Chicago,
drive underage and get engaged.
I mean, for all we know--
- How long have they been at it?
They sound just like
my parents did
right before they
- My parents are not
They're in love.
- When was the last time
you saw them do something
romantic together?
- I don't keep
track of that stuff.
- So you don't remember.
And would you say they have
common interests?
- Not really.
Besides, everyone knows
opposites attract.
- Actually, that's a myth.
Relationships that aren't based
on common interests and values
do not work.
- Where are you getting
this junk from?
"Are my parents getting
divorced? A comprehensive
checklist."
- Check four or more and
your parents are headed to
Splitsville. But don't worry.
Divorce is no biggie. When my
parents called it quits,
I got tons of cool crap.
- I can only check three.
So there.
- Ooh!
You know? Cornstarch might help.
I think there's some
in the pantry.
- Before you go, Mrs. Hobbie,
is that a new shade of lipstick?
- Yes, it is. It's Mango Tango.
Just thought I'd switch it up.
- Roger that.
- Since when do you notice
my mom's makeup?
- "Have you noticed a change
in your parent's appearance?"
And then
there were four.
- These boots are definitely
not made for walking.
- You know, you could really use
an extra hand around here.
Piper's mom's looking
for some work.
- She came by, she was really
nice; it's not in the budget.
Your open mics really help
to keep the doors open,
but we're still scraping by.
- Still waiting
on those refills.
- You rest
those tootsies.
- So it's unanimous?
We spend the money on
planters for Main Street?
Great. I'll get my landscape
artist to write up a quote.
Any questions?
- How are you going to spend
the rest of the money?
We raised over $25,000.
You can't possibly be
spending it all on planters.
- We also need flowers.
Not mums, though.
Too generic. Oh! Verbena!
- Don't you think there might be
a better use for the money?
- Uh, who doesn't love flowers?
- I know, but--
- Holly,
with the bicentennial tomorrow,
we have quite a bit to do, here.
Did you finish your song yet?
- Well, no, but it's almost--
- Better get to it.
- UGH!
Oh, hi.
Do you need something?
- Yeah, my mom forgot her phone.
- Great. I mean,
not great that she left it, but
great that you're here with it.
You're a very responsible son.
What are you doing?
- Trying to get inside.
- Yeah, of course
you are. What?
- Oh, young love!
(barking)
- No!
- Martha Wainwright!
Is the mayor inside? I have
to drop this money off for
the bicentennial committee.
(barking)
Shush! Not again!
Would you take
this money inside?
- Yeah, of course.
- Shh, shh!
- "Dear Ms. Parish,
"please find the enclosed
salary owed to you
"for your final week
at the pickle factory.
Sincerely, Katherine Hobbie."
- I love parades! But not
as much as I love you.
- I think I'm gonna be sick.
- Who's that guy
talking to your mom?
- That's Luke Floyd.
He went to high school with
Mom and Dad. I think he's some
bigwig for the government now.
- They look very, uh, friendly.
- Stop.
You heard Robbie, they just
went to high school together.
- But I think they used to date.
- Hey, Chase!
(imitating a guitar riff)
- Better hurry up or we'll have
trouble finding a place
to watch the show.
- Oh, we have trouble alright.
- What?
- Luke's back in town?
- And he showed up at
the worst possible time--
when you and Mom are
about to, you know
- This is your doing, isn't it?
- I think I hear the wind.
- Look, things have been
a little stressful lately,
but your mom and I have made it
through much worse.
- Dad, it's this laissez-faire
attitude that's gotten us here.
You need to do something
ROMANTIC and FAST.

- Holly! Holly!
You'll never believe
what happened!
- OK, no, no, no.
Not today. Not today.
- Why are we jumping?
- My mom got a letter from
the pickle company with $500!
They forgot to pay her
for something or other.
It's enough that we can stay
for at least another month.
- Piper, that is great!
Holly, can I speak to you?
- Yeah, sure, Grandma.
I'll meet you backstage.
- OK, so I know that Piper's mom
didn't get the extra money
from the pickle company.
- I borrowed it
from the bicentennial fund.
But they haven't noticed
that it's missing and
I'm gonna pay it back.
- It doesn't matter why
you do it, stealing is wrong.
- I know.
- This is unforgivable!
- I know,
and it was totally impulsive and
I'm sorry and I plan to repay
you as soon as I sell my guitar.
- The Parishes need to give
the money back.
- But they need the money
more than this town needs
stupid planters!
- Well, life isn't always fair.
- Well, shouldn't we be doing
whatever we can to change that?
Shouldn't those of us
who have more try to be
helping those who don't?
Can I at least wait to tell
Piper until after the show?
- After what you did,
do you think I trust you
to get back on stage?
Get the money back, Miss Hobbie.
- I'm so sorry, Piper.
- I'll go find my mom
and get the money.
(Mrs. Hobbie laughing)
- I forgot how funny you were!
It's so good to see you.
- Hey, Luke.
Honey, can I speak
to you for a second?
- Yeah. One sec.
Hey.
- Do I have anything
to worry about?
- Um
- Oh gosh, Heather was right.
- Wait a minute.
How does Heather know?
- Levi told her.
- I guess you can't keep any
secrets in a small town.
- I won't accept this.
I will not let you
leave me for Luke Floyd.
- OK, wait. See
that man over there?
That is Luke's husband.
- Oh, that
Oh.
- Yeah.
- So, wait, what were you
talking about earlier?
- Well, Luke,
he works for the government in
Madison and he offered me a job.
- In Madison.
- Mm-hmm.
Working for social services. It
would only be three days a week.
I could do things that impact
people's lives.
- In Madison.
- Look, you know
that I've never been happy
working at the pickle factory.
I just really
need this right now.
- I need my wife in our house.
With our family.
- Hey, Dad. You're needed
backstage.
- Thanks.
- I know I'm
a horrible person.
No need to kick me
when I'm down.
On second thought, I probably
deserve to be kicked.
So go ahead,
take your best shot.
- What's going on?
- I'm proud of you.
- For breaking bad?
- For trying to help Piper.
It was brave.
- Does this mean you still
want to be friends?
- I never didn't
want to be friends.
I was just mad
at how you handled the whole
birthday party situation.
- Not my finest hour,
I'll admit.
I was just mad
that you cared more about
Piper's problems than mine.
- Piper's problems were bigger.
- And I get that now.
They're also more important than
spending thousands of dollars
on flowers for Main Street.
- Preach.
- Can we go back
to the hugging thing?
- Hey. You got room
for one more?
- I'm so sorry. I was trying
to make things better,
but instead I just made
one huge mess.
- It's OK.
- No one stuck up
for me like you did.
Even if it didn't change things,
it meant a lot.
- I'm sorry to interrupt
the tender moment, but
if you and Holly are here,
who's MC-ing the show?
♪♪♪♪♪♪
- (Tyler): Thank you for coming
to celebrate Collinsville's
bicentennial.
(applause)
There's someone who's worked
very hard to make today possible
and they love this town more
than anyone else I know.
And her name is
Holly Hobbie.
(applause)
- OK, Tyler.
Keep it moving.
- But Holly isn't allowed
on stage because she borrowed
some money from
the bicentennial fund.
But it was to help someone in
need. A friend. I'm learning
that living in this town
isn't easy for a lot of people.
And I don't think Holly
should be punished
for helping one of them.
(cheers and applause)
So if no one disagrees,
I'd like to invite her up so she
can share something with you.
(cheers and applause)
- Thank you, Tyler.
I'm kind of at a loss for words.
Which, if you know me,
doesn't happen very often.
But I think this song explains
everything I'm feeling.

- You certainly have your hands
full with that spitfire.
Where's Katherine?
- Mad.
Because I told her she couldn't
take a fancy job in Madison.
She says she wants to live there
three days a week.
- Good for her. You know how
much that woman has sacrificed
for you? Coming back here
to help run the farm after
Dad died, when she wanted
to stay in the city?
Katherine has helped you realise
so many of your dreams.
Now it's your turn. You have
to help her realise hers.
- Without me.
- This isn't about you,
it's about Katherine.
Of course, if you don't support
her that could change
real quick.

- 'Cause I've
I've been watching Holly try
to change the world this year
and it's reminded me that's what
I wanted to do, too. And
And look, I know
that it won't be easy.
- Well,
if it's what you want,
I support you 100%.
- So does that mean
that you're volunteering
to tell the children?
- Hmm
- Yeah?
- Maybe.
- On second thought, I think
your parents are just fine.
- I didn't want them
to be that fine.
- That's my son.

(cheers and applause)
Well, that's all from me, folks.
Actually, it's not. Piper?
- What's going on?
- The mural.
- Oh, right!
Holly and I came up with
the idea to make this mural
when we were trying to find
a way to recognise all the
incredible people in this town.
Drop it!
(exclamations)
(cheers and applause)
I'm gonna miss you guys a lot.
I wish I didn't have
to say goodbye.
- Maybe you don't.
A few months ago,
my grandmother and I asked for
your help to save the Calico,
and you came through.
Now Piper's family
needs some help.
And I'm sure there are other
families that do, too.
This event raised
over $25,000.
What if we used the money
to create a fund that anyone
in the town could access
when times get tough?
- That money is to
beautify our town.
- What's more beautiful
than helping others?
- Oh, you're right.
Let's do it. What a wonderful
idea, Miss Hobbie.
(cheers and applause)
- Guess today's all about PDA.
Your mom and your dad.
You and Tyler.
It's obvious
you have a crush on him.
Why didn't you tell me?
Is it because you felt bad
about my situation?
- Partially.
But also because
I don't know if I'm
ready for what's next.
- Whatever you choose, you don't
have to worry about me.
- I think this belongs to you.
- I'm sorry, but I cannot accept
that. Times have changed.
I think that we should get some
necklaces that represent the new
addition to our group.
- Aw, that's so sweet.
I'm touched.
(giggling)
- To new friends!
- And old friends!
- And Wait, is there
any other type of friend?
(laughing)
- So maybe some situations
don't have simple solutions,
and maybe that's OK.
Because I believe as long as you
have the right people
working together,
you can make the impossible,
possible.
Let's do really
great things together.
Let's be the change.
See you real soon.
