South of Nowhere s01e10 Episode Script
What Just Happened? (2)
I cant find my lip gloss.
My moms been like going through my makeup and jewelry and stuff lately.
Shes going through this weird "I wanna be young and sexy" stage.
Is she buying lingerie, too? Yup.
We hit the mall yesterday and she spent crazy money.
- Maybe shes having an affair.
- No way.
Well, maybe shes planning one.
Here, try this.
Just a hint of pink.
It wont leave a traceable color on someone who may not wear your shade.
I never thought about that.
Two girls, two shades of lip stick.
If youre planning on kissing another girl, you may want clear gloss.
You know, with like, an aloe or some type of moisturizing balm.
- I have so much to learn.
- Lucky you have me.
That looks really good on you.
Almost as good as it looks on me.
Aww, now you have me wearing your shade.
How convenient just in case we end up in some spontaneous lip lock.
Trust me, it wont be spontaneous.
Out! So its official.
Spencer and the freak are sleeping together.
I don't know, it sounded like foreplay to me.
Then its only a matter of time.
But they are so a couple.
Who cares? At least theyre out of the competition pool if theyre dating each other.
More male cutlets for us.
Yeah.
But I wonder if Glen knows.
I think I have a responsibility to tell him.
I mean, hes Catholic, like me.
If his sister is gay, thats going to totally mess him up.
I dont want to play the hypocrite card, but if youre so Catholic, why are you having sex before marriage? Isnt that against the rules, too? Yes.
But there are some things way worse than others.
Gay sex, youre going to hell for ever.
Pre-marital sex, just a sin.
Hit confession, and its forgiven.
Seems like youre interpreting the Catholic stuff so you can do what you want.
Everybody does.
I found her.
My birth mother.
Shes a waitress in Nevada, and shes willing to meet me.
- You sure you want to meet her? - Yes! Why wouldnt I? She left you once before.
I know, I know.
But that was a long time ago.
You see, its rare that birth parents want to reconnect after theyve left their kid.
But she does! Clay, thats great! So when do you get to see her? As soon as I can find time for a little road trip.
What do your folks have to say about that? They know that Ive been looking for her.
They just dont know that I found her.
Are you going to tell them? - Eventually.
- You know what, this is Clays call.
I mean, its his real family hes trying to connect with.
Its not up to us to judge, or Your real family are the people who are there for you day in and day out.
They reminded me of that.
There are no rules to what a real family looks like these days.
My friends, my grandmother, my cousin.
its like blood only matters if you need a donor.
You know, I appreciate you guys circling around me and propping me up, - But this is something that I need to do.
- Then go do.
Theres nothing like the relationship between a mother and her child.
I know that we can all agree with that.
Alright.
Its show time.
So, hows this for the concerned girlfriend look? Great.
Now just mix it with a little "this is really hard for me to tell you.
" And you got it wired.
Good luck.
No luck involved here.
All skill.
Hey baby.
Hey Madison, whats up? I havent seen you all day.
I know.
Glen, theres something I need to tell you, and Its really hard for me, because I like you and your family.
And I wouldnt want to be the one to say anything bad about anyone, but What? What did you hear? Its about Spencer.
Spencer, I have to talk to you.
Ok, what's wrong? Youre practically foaming at the mouth.
Theres nothing wrong with me, but the word is Theres something really wrong with you.
Youre weirding me out.
Madison told me that she heard you and Ashley talking in the bathroom about kissing each other and underwear and all kinds of gay stuff.
Is that true? Before I answer that, I just want to say that you suck.
You should be defending me instead of judging me, Im your sister.
I get the benefit of the doubt over that gold digging booty cow.
Thats only relevant if its not true.
Is it true? Look, what she heard could have been misinterpreted as that.
But it doesnt mean that its entirely true.
Spencer, I can see it on your face.
You have a thing for Ashley.
You know she has a reputation of breaking in girls.
Youre just another notch on her headboard.
I dont believe that.
That's what Ive heard from people that have known her a lot longer than you have.
God, if she turns you gay, its going to kill mom and dad.
First of all, you cant turn somebody gay.
And secondly, you didnt hear any of this from me and youre ratting me to mom and dad? Thanks for the lesson of loyalty.
So what? Yeah, maybe its "so what?" to you.
Youre used to being talked about, "front page trash".
Im not.
Look, for the record, Im not used to being trashed.
Listen, its Madison, ok? She hates me.
Of course shes gonna try to use this to break us up.
Break us up? We are not a couple Ashley! Look, I dont know what it is we are, but I just want to figure it out first before everyone else tries to crucify me.
You know what, Im sorry this is just so terrible for you.
But what hurts even more is the fact that you dont want anyone to think its true.
Even if it is a lie.
Okay you know.
If youre going to keep accusing me of getting involved with Ben, maybe I should.
Youre unbelievable.
Now its my fault? Hes my boss.
Hes my friend Arthur.
But youre my husband and whether you want to believe it or not, that is more important.
I dont want to be the priority just because I should be.
Look, theres this woman at work.
She has a practice.
Shes helped a lot of couples.
That is, if you still want to get help.
Ill make the appointment.
- To what do I owe the stalking? - I want you to quit hitting on my sister.
- Did she ask you to do this? - No, but this isnt what she is.
What she is? This is about you, not her.
And unless I hear it from her, were good.
Look, shes telling you, okay? You just dont want to hear it.
And if you really care about her, youll back off.
- Hey, man, can I talk to you for a minute? - Do you have to? No.
Just thought you might wanna know something I heard my sister say about you.
Okay, what did Spencer say about me? She likes you man, shes just too shy to tell you.
She said that to you? Yeah! Im her brother.
She tells me everything.
How dare you tell that therapist that were not having sex anymore? Well, when we moved to California, things came to a screeching halt.
Something changed.
Oh, and that couldnt possibly be you, or something that youve done.
Im perfectly willing to accept responsibility for my actions.
But Im not the one who moved us across the country to get close to an old lover.
Thank you so much for completely diminishing my accomplishments and my career by indulging yourself in your insecurities.
Im sorry, Im having a hard time getting past that.
Look, lets just try and concentrate on the homework the therapist gave us, right? Right.
Go somewhere and do something we normally wouldnt do.
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
We can spend Saturday night together.
Any ideas? Look at you.
So Whats on the books for this weekend? Nothing thrilling.
You and Ashley dont have a wet and wild plan to conquer west Hollywood? No.
Not yet.
Maybe Im waiting for a better offer.
I dont know if its a better offer but My parents arent using their tickets for the Hollywood Bowl Saturday night.
I thought maybe we could take a picnic, eat dinner at the park, and sit under the stars listening to music.
Chill.
What do you think? I think it sounds like a better offer.
- Yeah, I wanna go.
- Great.
Ill call you later.
Glen and I are going to the Grey on Saturday.
He wants us to double with his brother and Chelsea Lewis.
- Its going to be so super boring.
- I wish I could.
My parents are in Santa Barbara for the weekend, I have to baby-sit my little sister.
Too bad.
Well if it isnt the loneliest lesbian.
look, Im not in the mood right now to kick your ass.
So why dont you take your "get out of jail free" card and have a nice day.
Wow, you really are off.
I guess you heard about your ex and your current hooking up.
What are you talking about? Oh, Spencer and Aiden.
Going out on Saturday.
A real date You know, like a boy and a girl.
Youre lying.
- Im not.
- Shes not.
- Shut up, mini-me.
- So pathetic.
Oh, I hate to be the bearer of a bad news.
I bet you are.
The whole picnic part, and being out here under the stars, listening to music, is actually better than the music they play in the bowl.
You mean youre not a fan of classical music? Not really.
I guess I guess Im just saying that once we get inside, if you want to leave at intermission, Im cool with that.
Whatever you wanna do.
Im following your lead tonight.
Why are you doing that? Follow my lead.
What do you mean? Well, youve been spending a lot of time with Ash And you know, getting close to her.
I mean, every time we try to hook up, its a complete disaster.
- Do you not want me to be here with you? - Are you kidding? Part of me is saying, dont screw this up, asswipe.
You have a beautiful girl right in front of you.
I bet I can guess which part of you is saying that.
Yeah.
But the other part of me is saying: Why is this beautiful girl here with you, when she really wants to be with someone else? Why dont you quit trying to figure me out, and just Let me show you how I feel? Does that feel like the kind of girl who doesnt want to be with you? Go home Ashley.
Do you really think being here tonight, watching everyone couple up is gonna make you feel better? I dont know.
But maybe Im supposed to feel this way.
You did nothing wrong.
You cant make someone love you, honey.
Yeah but She told me she likes girls, I know she likes me.
I just dont get it, what happened? Its a big step.
Give her some time.
Eventually, love trumps fear.
Every time.
Hello? The hospital? Is Boz okay? I think so, but they wont see him cause he aint got no insurance! Man, isnt your mom working tonight? I need your help.
No, uh, mom and dad are away for the night.
Ill call her and tell her youre at the ER.
Do you want us to come there? No, you dont have to, man.
Do me a favor? You just send out your prayers for him, please? Yeah, of course, of course.
Okay, call me.
Guys, guys, Boz has been hurt.
Hes at the hospital.
Okay, well, lets take the girls home and then well go to the hospital.
Why? Theres nothing you can do.
We should be with my friend.
Thats his family.
He needs our support.
You're coming to bed? French dinner, romantic hotel room.
Maybe this therapy thing isn't so bad.
Hi, Glenn.
Hey mom, sorry to bother you.
But Clay's friend Sean is in the ER with his cousin Boz.
and he's pretty banged up and no one's helping.
I'll make a call he'll get straight in, honey, okay, I promise.
So don't worry, just Go on home, okay? Thanks.
- Do we have to leave? - No, but I do have to call the hospital.
Clay's friend was just brought in the ER.
- You give me a minute? - All the time you need.
If we leave now we can still catch the last half of the concert.
Im not a fan of classical music either.
Hey, are you sure about this? Stop asking me that.
Im here with you, arent I? Who are you trying to convince, me or you? Look, I really like you, and I want to be with you.
It would make things so much easier.
For who? Maybe everybody else, but not for you.
Its okay.
You are who you are.
But what if Im not ready to be who I am? You are.
Alright? Youre gonna be fine.
Im the one whose reps trashed.
Ive now turned two girls gay.
You can laugh, but You have to promise to tell everybody this wasnt my fault.
Please? Hey.
Are you alone or is your girlfriend coming back? No, Im alone.
Look at my good timing, to catch you in between.
Sorry.
Why am I feeling so awkward making love to my wife? It's not you.
It's me.
I'm sorry.
So, do you wanna go to my place? - For old times sake? - Or whatever.
Sure.
Party favors.
Its good to be with a dealer.
Call her, see what shes up to.
Youre a good friend, Aiden.
Second choice, but Ill take it.
Hello? Ash? Who is this? Spencer.
Put Ashley on the phone? Sorry, she doesnt want to talk to you.
Later.
Can you drive me to Ashleys house? Why not? Lets make sure Im completely whipped.
Hes gonna be alright.
He went through a windshield and broke his arm.
He also took a pretty hard hit to the head.
- When does he get to go home? - A couple of days.
Hey, thank your mom for me, Dr.
Montano was great.
Yeah, Im just glad she could help.
Man, your prayers answered tonight.
You know, my cousins crazy, and he gets on my last nerve, but hes family and I cant imagine losing him.
Who are you? And does Ashley know youre ripping her off? Let me guess, Spencer? - How do you know? - You called, remember? And for someone Ashley didnt want to talk to, she talked about you all night.
She did? Yup.
I guess shes no longer in between.
What? Forget it.
Im sorry.
I just freaked out.
I didnt want to deal with being gay.
But I couldnt deal with not being with you.
Im not easy.
- Thats not what I heard.
- I meant to be with.
I know.
But were already friends, and thats the hard part.
So lets just start there and see what happens.
My moms been like going through my makeup and jewelry and stuff lately.
Shes going through this weird "I wanna be young and sexy" stage.
