Life with Boys (2011) s01e15 Episode Script
When Something Better Comes Along with Boys
Wait until everyone sees what I won.
No one ever wins the stuffed tiger.
It was a lucky throw.
Ten times in a row! I'm sorry, would it make you feel better if I told everyone you won it for me? I can't ask you to do that.
And yes.
Yes? Where's your pride? In the same pocket as the dragon stickers and the fly in the ice cube they gave me when I didn't win.
I should've dated a girl who throws like a girl.
Too late.
Well, well, well.
Look who finally decided to grace us with her presence.
Allie, I'm sorry.
I totally forgot our first Saturday of the month manicure night.
No! Maybe you should go.
Yes! Yeah, I'm just going to call you later.
Um, bye.
I am so sorry.
It's a little late in the day for apologies.
Come on, Allie, please don't make such a big deal out of this.
I won you a tiger.
Oh! Don't you play cute with me, young lady.
When you say you're going to be somewhere, I expect you to be there.
Your father and I are very disappointed in you.
Don't look at me.
When she gets like this, I've learned to just nod and smile.
Oh, don't you bail on me, mister.
The minute we don't show a united front, they just wiggle right through.
You know, I think I'm just going to go to the kitchen and do some kitchen things.
In the kitchen.
Are they going to hit each other? Girls don't do that.
They just beat the snot out of each other with words.
Well, that's disappointing.
Why didn't you just call me? Oh, suddenly it's my job to be your calendar? Come on, there's got to be something I can do to make it up to you.
We can do something tomorrow.
No, wait, Bobby and I are going paddle-boating.
But Monday No, Bobby and I are going to the library.
But, Allie, Tuesday No, Bobby.
Wednesday, I am all yours from 3:00 until Bobby comes over at 3:15.
I can't deal with her anymore.
Talk to your daughter.
I would, but I just remembered I've got to go upstairs and do some upstairs things.
Upstairs.
Oh, sure, make me be the disciplinarian.
I promise.
Thursday, after school, just you and me.
But what about that big science test we have on Friday? So we'll study together.
It'll be fun.
Just you and me.
And Bobby.
But he's so cute.
And he's like a science whiz.
He can help us.
Actually, I'm sort of failing science right now.
Well, sort of fake it.
That's it, I'm out of here.
Wait, okay, you're right.
I've been selfish.
But that ends now.
Tomorrow night, girls night, just us.
But, what about watching the playoffs? The night after tomorrow night, girls night, just us.
Just one problem.
You can't spell "us" without a U, and there is no U in "us" anymore.
Just "sssss.
" Which is the sound of the air going out of our friendship balloon.
Feels like I'm caught in the middle Drama comes with every new day So far to fall Walking the tightrope But I wouldn't have it any other way We're gonna put one foot in front of the other Get tripped up and step on one another We move ahead and try to keep it on track 'Cause we know we got each other's back Don't need to fight it No need to deny It's a crazy life, a random life A wonderful life I know I've been spending a lot of time with Bobby, but we just started going out.
And, I mean, if Allie had the boyfriend, she'd be doing the exact same thing and she would expect me to understand.
And I would, because I'm a really, really really good friend.
Because everybody knows there's a 30-day "I'm so in love; ignore everybody else" window.
And I know it's been 40 days, but there are all those hours where we're not at school together, so that shouldn't even count.
And she is just being so so unfair.
And that's how you do it.
No, that's how you do it.
And I find it disgusting.
I mean, I want to watch the game with Bobby, but if I do, Allie is going to be so mad at me.
So, what do you think I should do? I think you should get out of here before I start shooting my squirt gun.
If you know what I'm saying.
I'd listen to him.
His aim still needs work.
Spencer! My bad.
Hi, boyfriend, are you calling to cheer me up? That is so sweet.
What now? Oh, no, that's okay.
We'll just watch the playoffs together next year.
The important thing is that you feel better.
Okay, bye.
And boom goes the dynamite.
Sammy, great news.
Bobby has the flu.
Massive cramps.
Isn't that great? I wish I could share your joy, but right now all I can think about is the warm squishy feeling in my sock.
Hey, Allie, have you seen Tess? Tess? You think my entire life is centred around Tess? You think I don't have other friends? Well, I do.
Lots of friends.
Good friends.
Great friends.
Friends that a girl like Tess could only dream about! Okay.
Sorry to bother you.
Get some help.
Bye-bye! I'm so lonely.
Allie, Allie! Wait, I hear a familiar voice.
The last time I heard that voice, it was stabbing me in the heart with the cold, icy dagger of betrayal.
Ah, Tess, I thought it was you.
Okay, I deserve that.
But wait until I tell you about tonight.
Unless it's that you told Bobby that I'm as important as he is and he can watch the stupid game by himself because you're going to to be with your best friend, Allie, then I don't want to hear it.
Wow.
That is very close to what happened.
He bailed on you, didn't he? Stomach flu.
Massive cramps and everything.
If not for that, it is possible that those very words might have occurred to me.
So now I'm your backup plan and I'm supposed to be all "whoo-hoo" about it? I was hoping.
One time.
I'm going to let you do this one time.
But only because you're in that 30-day "I'm so in love; ignore everybody else" window, which has actually been 40 days, but a bunch of those don't count since you're at different schools.
You so get me.
I know.
And anything you want to do tonight is fine by me.
As long as the playoffs are on in the background.
Say what? Kidding, all about you.
Love you, bye.
Hey, Chloe.
There you are.
I was just texting you.
I know it's last minute, but my dad got tickets to that playoff baseball thing tonight.
You want to come? Oh, man, I'd love to, but They're between first and where the players bat.
Home and first? Wow, that sounds great, but A section behind something called a dugout.
I will be on your porch at 4:00.
Oh, and could you not tell Allie about this? She's been a little touchy lately.
I know.
What's up with that? Bad hair extensions.
Way too tight.
Ooh, ouch.
Yeah.
Ouch.
Fry me up some bacon For the playoff game Grab a towel and pat the grease I work so hard that I get the first piece Yummy bacon, yummy bacon, yummy bacon Oh, you hungry, Walter? Yummy bacon, yummy bacon, yummy bacon? Your food's over there.
Yummy bacon, yummy bacon, yummy bacon.
How was the game? Great.
What do you mean great? You beat me 21 to nothing.
Well, it was great for me.
Don't worry, Sam.
I look up to you about other things.
Like what? You know, if you had just said "thank you," this would've ended much better.
Don't worry, Sammy.
A playoff game with my famous bacon-filled potato skins is just what you need Hey! Where's all the bacon? They started it.
Ugh! I cooked a pound and a half of bacon and this is all that's left? Now we're going to have potato skins without bacon.
I swear, Walter, you're the only one around here I can trust.
Yummy bacon, yummy bacon, yummy bacon.
I'll have two sugar-free, non-fat mochachino lights.
Extra whipped cream, heavy chocolate.
Right, because that makes sense.
Excuse me, if I wanted the attitude, I would've ordered it.
I got to cancel tonight.
Come on.
Not Bobby again.
Of course not.
Does this look like a face I would want Bobby to see? Ew.
I have the stomach flu.
I must've caught it from Bobby.
Well, that's better.
Lose one of the mochachinos.
Speaking of losing it, I don't think you want to see this.
Ew, feel better.
Get well soon, bye.
Keep going.
I'm depressed now.
Oh, just give me that.
Come on, it's the playoffs.
First time in 97 years.
Don't look at me like that.
Look at me like this.
Thank you.
Wow.
Dad wants to know if you want ketchup on your hot dog? Yes, please.
Chloe, this is awesome.
These are the best seats I've ever had.
I know.
Mom wanted a butt lift and Dad wanted seasons tickets.
We ended up with the tickets, and Mom doesn't wear jeans anymore.
I don't believe it.
It's true.
But Mom got back at him.
She invited Grandma to live with us.
He lied to me.
Who lied to you? Bobby.
We were supposed to watch the game together and he said he was sick.
Ouch.
Oh, there's going to be some serious ouching going on, all right.
Beautiful day for a ball game, huh? Sure is.
Enjoy that.
It's the last time you'll be eating with your own teeth.
Okay, look, this is not what What a decent, honest boyfriend who respects and cares about his girlfriend would do in a million years? Yes, I totally agree.
Do go on.
Okay, fine, I lied.
I'm sorry.
But my cousin got one extra ticket to the game.
What did you expect me to do? Oh, gee, I don't know.
Maybe tell me the truth? Oh, okay.
Look, Tess, I got a chance to Not now! Tess, if I had told you the truth, you would've said sure I can go, but you wouldn't really have meant it; then you'd be secretly mad and we would've ended up in a fight.
Well, I am glad we avoided that.
We are so done.
You're breaking up with me over a dumb ball game? No, I'm breaking up with you because you're a dumb boyfriend who I can't trust.
Burger, burger, burger, burger Gabe, get the ketchup.
Sam, get the ketchup.
Spencer, get the ketchup.
You, get You get the ketchup.
You get the ketchup.
Don't even think about it.
Don't even think about it.
Don't even think about it.
Don't even I hate being the youngest.
I don't care who gets the ketchup.
I made the burgers; someone else can get the darn Walter.
Good boy.
Burger now? Burger now? Burger now? Now move.
You're blocking the TV.
Oh! Ew! Oh, wow.
Burger now.
Come on, Tess.
Don't let Bobby ruin the game for you.
He's a loser.
A lying loser.
A lying dumped loser.
But, now that he's available, would you mind if I? Too soon, I get it.
I just won't be in a relationship with someone I can't trust.
I mean, if you're not honest, what good are you? Come on, honey.
It's the playoffs.
It'll be fun.
But I don't even like baseball.
Why did Tess have to be sick? Allie, sweetie, if I wanted all this complaining, I would've brought your mother.
Don't tell her I said that.
I'm not here.
What? Just go with it! Oh, hey, Chloe.
Allie, hi.
I didn't know you liked baseball.
I don't.
My dad brought me.
Alone.
Just myself.
No friends.
Me, too.
I mean, I wouldn't even be here if Tess wasn't sick.
Oh, now I get it.
Get what? I'm going to get back to the game now.
So, you lied to Allie like Bobby lied to you.
And you stuff your bra.
Nobody's an angel here.
Hey, Chloe, maybe I can switch seats with your dad so we can sit together.
I Fine by me.
Cool.
Hey, Tess, how you feeling? Let's just say I've had better days.
Now, you're breaking up.
Could you move to a different spot? Yeah.
The other way.
Uh, is that better? Almost.
Now, keep going.
No, don't turn around! Okay.
Perfect.
Now do not move.
You sound kinda stressed out.
Maybe I should just let you rest.
No.
I need you on the phone, doing exactly what I say.
Trust me, it's the only way I'm going to be able to get out of this being sick thing.
Yes! I got you a present.
We were right behind her.
Where could she have gone? Mr.
Brooks, I think we both know what Allie likes to do when she's depressed.
Let me talk to her.
Are you sure? Because you know I'll do it.
Even though this is the first time we've been in the playoffs for years, and you are the one who blew it.
Go watch your game.
Oh, bless you, child.
Can I come in? No.
I just don't Don't talk to me.
I just don't understand how you could've done this.
How? I know, it was a terrible Don't talk to me.
I mean, what could you possibly say that could justify what you did? What? Well, I What part of "don't talk to me" don't you understand? The part where you keep asking me questions.
Don't you give me attitude, little Miss Stomach Flu Liar Pants.
Look, Allie, you have every right to be mad at me.
I messed up big time.
But when I got the chance to go to the baseball game, I couldn't tell you the truth.
Not after I had bailed on you so many times for Bobby.
So, instead you just lied to me and flushed 12 years of trust down the toilet? Well, that's another way of saying it.
If it's any consolation, Bobby did the same thing to me.
What are you talking about? Uh, not that I care.
He's not home sick with the flu either.
He's in Row E.
He picked the playoffs over me.
Oh, just like you did with me.
I think I just said that.
Let's not beat it to death.
Can we not talk about Bobby? I broke up with him anyway.
Oh, I get it.
So you want me to forgive you, but you didn't forgive him? Hmm You're right, I didn't forgive him.
So I shouldn't expect you to forgive me.
Wait.
You're forgetting something.
What? I'm a better person than you are.
Wait, are you sure you want to do this? Hey, if you can forgive me, then I should be able to forgive Bobby.
731.
Oh, come on.
Cool.
Call you this weekend, babe.
This stuff is terrible for you.
But perfect for you, babe.
You were right.
No one ever wins the stuffed tiger.
It was a lucky throw.
