Hellcats s01e17 Episode Script

Previously on "Hellcats" Charlotte **** ***** sisters.
You're not the only one with a complicated family.
I took a bunch of pregnancy tests And they all said positive.
Wanna tell me who the guy was? That doesn't matter.
How's Travis working out? Best server I got.
Good roommate, too.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure all brides get nervous on the day.
I just thought that I had more time to be sure.
Is it Red Raymond? I'm sorry.
That's Noah.
As in ex-boyfriend Noah? What about the connection we have? We've always had.
I want to grow old with you.
I don't know what to say to that.
To beat Mem-Chris, we have to pull off the routine of our lives.
Zero margin for error.
The Lancer Hellcats win it! We're going to Nationals! Now we're up to the chest.
Arms shake and make your head drop.
This is really tight or else there's no point in doing it, right? Last time.
Shake it.
That's a good track right there.
Who is that? Some new band.
Werewolf vs.
Unicorn.
They play locally.
Alice found them.
It's pretty good.
"Pretty good"? Very good? It's awesome.
Werewolf vs.
Unicorn plays all the clubs.
I tracked down their bassist, chatted him up, bought him some drinks, and scored our new song.
It's exclusive and unknown, which makes it special.
Yeah.
A fresh song to give us the edge that we need at Nationals.
Last year, Tennessee and Fort Hill lost because both squads used the same Li'l Kim song.
Why would they use any Li'l Kim song? Don't be a hater, Marti.
Fine.
Whatever.
I defer to my captain.
Hi.
- Oh, can I - Can I see Oh.
I think it's me.
I wanted you to be the first to know.
Look what just showed up in my mailbox.
This is fantastic.
Fantastic and a little confusing.
Why did you apply to Lancer? I filled out an application last year in a moment of vocational crisis.
Why is this the first time I'm hearing of it? I got wait-listed the first time.
I rolled the application over this year and I don't know.
I figured I'd wait to see how I did before I started advertising it.
- What? - It's not every day I get to see you insecure about something.
I mean, give me a moment to enjoy it.
- You done? - Not yet, no.
Ok.
Ok, now I'm done.
Mm.
I'm really proud of you.
So what's your major gonna be? Film.
Assuming I get into the program.
I thought you said you were in.
Well, I'm into the university.
The Film school has an entirely separate application process.
I gotta do an interview, write a ton of essays, and make a short film.
Wow.
But you know, if I don't get in, I got my fallback all worked out.
I'll just become a Hellcat.
- You'll become a what? - Yeah, I figure I'll I'll be a base.
I'll be your base.
I can count on you to get me on the squad.
I don't know if I could Wink-wink.
You pull a few strings and I can't, like I'm joking.
Right.
Yeah, I totally knew.
You didn't.
No, I didn't.
But please don't joke about cheerleading.
It gives me a nervous stomach.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Born on Halloween, born on Halloween bless the lord with a G chord I was born on Halloween Do you recognize this? No.
I like it.
You write it? Oh, you disappoint me.
Here, listen, listen, listen.
Benjamin Franklin flew that kite out there in the middle of the storm Abraham Lincoln grew his beard to keep Mrs.
Lincoln warm Edison turned the lights on must've been a hell of a scene I was raised by wolves I was born on Halloween That's one of your dad's.
My dad's what? Are you saying he wrote that? Wait, keep playing, please.
I was just trying No, no, Travis, please.
Keep playing.
- Go.
- born on Halloween born on Halloween bless the lord with a G chord I was born on Halloween I I had no idea my dad wrote songs.
Your mom was nice enough to let me stay here.
I don't want to get in the middle of this.
Where did you get this? From your mom.
I had no idea you didn't know or I wouldn't have brought it up.
JustJust tell me what you know.
Please.
UhLast night your mom and I had some wine.
We got to talking about old times and old music and she went into the bedroom, she come out with that and asked me to play it.
That's all I know.
I take it you guys don't talk about him.
No.
No.
No.
Ha.
And that's classic Wanda.
I spend my life taking care of her and I get nothing.
Then you come in here, you fix the garbage disposal, and suddenly you're in the inner circle.
Huh! How is that fair, Travis? How is that fair? Huh? I think you have to talk to her about it.
Ah.
Insightful.
Yeah, I can see why she opened up to you.
Hey, hey, hey hey, hey, hey hey, miss, steal a kiss Wait.
Why are we stopping? Quick detour.
Two minutes.
Yeah I swear, if you make me late for one more hair appointment Two minutes.
Dan can't afford nice film books, so I want to give him all of these to help him study.
Who uses books? Anything he needs to know is online.
Come on.
Yeah, until technology fails us, and then you'll be begging me on your knees for a glimpse of my Coffee Table book.
Your two minutes are up, by the way.
Hey! I wasn't expecting to see you till the weekend.
I've got an ultrasound to show you.
Uh-uh, Charlotte.
Now slowing your sister down.
I saw the heartbeat and everything.
Doesn't it look like he's smiling? I think that's his bum.
- Mm.
Really? - Yeah.
I think you're right.
Are are you having a party downstairs? Oh.
No, that's my other news.
We got into Nationals.
How? You were eliminated at Sectionals.
Burlington got busted for illegal diet supplements, so we're taking their spot.
Congratulations.
I'm not flying but I'm still captain, so some of the girls are downstairs working out a routine.
Oh, my God.
What? That song.
It's cool, right? It's a local band.
Werewolf vs.
Unicorn.
I know.
Since when are you hip to music? I hope you're not planning on using this song for your routine.
- What do you care? - Because it's the Hellcats' song.
Guys, this is bad.
We can't use the same song, not in Nationals.
We have an agreement with the band.
- So do we.
- Prove it! I've got nothing to prove to you.
Prove you didn't steal it.
Did you hear that? She just called us thieves.
I hear outrage, nasty Kathy, but no denial.
Stop calling me that.
Nasty Kathy.
Keep running your mouth, Alice.
I dare you.
- Or what, piglet? - Oh, don't test me.
- Oh, nasty, nasty Kathy.
- Everyone calm down.
You out of all people have no right to tell me what to do.
Neither team can afford to lose focus.
Battling with each other is a waste of resources.
And why is that? Because our pyramids are sloppy and our tumblers are slow? Oh, no.
That's you.
You want to talk sloppy stunt work? Shall we roll video of one Charlotte Monroe falling on her head at qualifiers? Oh, come on.
Trash talk all you want, Kathy, but the fact is you have less lead time than your competitors, and you're already down a flyer.
And why are we down a flyer? Because your sister got pregnant by your ex.
Kathy! I didn't mean that.
Char? I say stupid things all the time.
Char! We should get sandwiches, I think.
Come on, nasty Kathy.
I'm sure we can find some live spiders for you to eat.
It was an accident.
So whatYou tripped and stumbled onto my ex-boyfriend's penis? Don't be gross.
No wonder you didn't tell me who the father was.
And everyone else knew but me.
I mean, what's that about? I was planning on telling you, and nasty Kathy ruined everything.
Well, you should've told me first.
Before anyone.
I'm sorry.
Of all the guys in the world, why Noah? Don't say it like that.
"Why Noah?" Just because he wasn't good enough for you.
I've liked him since the sixth grade, but he was always into you.
I was just the stupid, little sister.
Until he bought you at that date auction and you broke his heart.
He came on to me when I was seeing someone.
Whatever.
You gave up any claim you had to him.
And he was sad, so I made my move.
So you gave him rebound sex? You Lancer people have a little judgmental term for everything, don't you? I'm sorry.
I'm just trying really hard to wrap my brain around this.
He showed up at my window.
We stayed up till six talking about our lives, our futures.
So this was that same night? For the first time, he was paying attention to me.
We fell in love.
And we're getting married.
When? Soon.
We're looking for apartments as soon as Midterms are over.
The Cyclones said they'll help me decorate the nursery, and Sandy's sister has this adorable crib with adorable matching furniture.
Does mom know? She thinks it's the best thing for the baby.
And me.
And you agree? Charlotte, do you agree? Of course I do.
I love Noah.
And he loves me.
You won't believe the day I had.
The cherry was the phone call I got from the Mem-Chris cheer coach.
Apparently, the girls are using the same piece of music, and now there's blood on the walls.
They got in a fight over a song, really.
Don't get me started.
Alice said she's gonna go talk to the band tonight to, I quote, "flash them a little cleavage "and straighten the whole thing out.
" That always worked for me, so Yeah, well, I'll be sure and tell the new athletic director that.
That's assuming we even hire one.
The search committee's been looking.
No one's taking the bait.
Who'd want to be the poor S.
O.
B.
Who has to clean up Bill Marsh's mess? You two look like you could use a refill.
Thanks, Wanda.
On the house.
I am so sorry to hear about you and Derrick.
How heartbreaking.
Yeah.
It's yes.
Thanks.
Would've been a lovely wedding.
They were talking to me about doing the event.
Yeah, it's a shame that we won't be working together.
Unless, of course, there's another wedding coming down the pike sometime soon.
No.
That won't be happening anytime soon.
Who knows? I mean, ain't none of getting any younger.
Oh, coach, I put a little water in that whiskey.
You know, just in case you're asked to suit up for the big game later on.
Very thoughtful.
We're never coming here again.
Ha ha ha! Relax.
It's just Wanda being Wanda.
Don't.
Ok.
I'm sorry.
I don't want to be that woman.
Which woman is that, exactly? The heartbreaker.
The bitch.
The slut.
Well, if they're so determined to judge, I say let them.
That's easy for you to say.
- Why? - Because you're a guy.
Come on.
Yeah, even in this supposedly enlightened age, there's a double standard.
Don't you find something new would come between us? What? My mom.
She used to always say we We all carry around our own hell with us, like a turtle carries a shell.
Now, I can't speak for you, but I've wasted a lot of years and I've delayed a lot of happiness, and I'm not gonna do it anymore.
Red Drop the shell.
I'm sorry.
I have to go.
Hey.
Where's Travis? Brought home some dead food orders.
I got a couple turkey burgers and a greek salad that looks pretty promising.
Travis wanted to give us some breathing room.
So you and I can have a little heart-to-heart.
Sounds serious.
Why does Travis know things about dad that I don't know? And more importantly, why don't I know dad wrote music? Oh.
I told you he was a musician.
I know he played.
I never knew he actually wrote songs.
You think I wouldn't be interested? Music is my thing.
Music is one of your things.
You're very versatile.
Now can we please change the subject? Talking about your father rest his soul Is very painful.
Uh-uh.
No.
No.
If you can talk about dad to Travis, you can talk to me, too.
Well, talking to Travis is not like talking to a real person.
What? Talking to Travis is like talking to myself.
It's like when people come into the bar and blub on and on about their stuff.
I do not judge because I do not care.
It's cheaper than therapy for them.
You think I'm gonna judge you? Marti, everything I have done in my life has been for your benefit.
So if I don't walk to talk about a subject, you can assume there's a good reason.
He's not a subject.
He's my father.
Rex was a bad guy, ok? And the only decent thing that he has ever done in his life is supply half of your DNA.
So the less you know The less I'll get hurt.
You realize you say the same damn thing every single time I ask about dad? I didn't realize that I was being judged for originality.
It was a difficult time in my life.
I carry a lot of hurt.
Did you ever consider where I fit into this story? No, I don't even know what story we are talking about.
I will not be yelled at in my own home.
I will not be treated like a dishrag.
Not the persecution face.
I'm not falling for it.
- I'm going to a movie.
- Oh, yeah? Give you a chance to calm down from your hysteria.
Eat what you want.
The food is yours.
I don't see the band here yet, so I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
Order me my usual? Sure.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Excuse me.
Barkeep, two whiskey and sodas, please.
What you drinking? Orange juice.
And an orange juice for the lady, my fine sir.
Thanks.
Wait a second.
You look kinda familiar.
Do we know each other? Uh, do you go to All Saints Church on Vance Avenue? All Saints.
No.
Not a lot of people there that look like me.
Bald, right? That is exactly what I meant.
Yes.
Anyway, I'm bad with faces.
Huh.
So you like these guys? Werewolf vs.
Unicorn? Yeah.
They're pretty cool.
I saw them open last year for Chromeo.
At the New Daisy? Yeah.
Were you there? Bought the bumper sticker.
Are you sure these are the guys that opened for them? Like I said bad with faces, but yeah.
Because I think I'd recognize that name.
The band's been through a bunch of different names.
Yet they still ended up with the name Werewolf vs.
Unicorn.
Well, the name they had before this was "Salute the Fat Man".
- Oh, dear.
- And before that, they were "Sticker Shock", and for an unfortunate two weeks, they were known as "Beefeater".
Ugh.
ThatUh-uh.
No, that So here's to Unicorn and Werewolf.
Werewolf versus Unicorn.
All right.
Clink.
Mm.
At least they're danceable.
Yeah, and apparently they're good for cheerleading routines, too.
You're into cheerleading? I am one.
I'm Lewis, by the way.
Oh, no.
What? You're a Hellcat and I'm officially an idiot.
Nasty Kathy.
I didn't realize it was groupie night.
I would've left my bra at home.
- You two know each other? - Mm-hmm.
And you're here to lobby the band, aren't you? Behind our backs.
Yup.
But it's gonna be much more fun with you here, watching helplessly as I take our song away from you.
Ok, ladies.
Oh, she's no lady.
Fraternizing with the enemy? I don't believe in enemies.
- I am a lover of humanity.
- Whatever.
I never met a man I didn't like.
No longer listening.
Hug that little redhead.
I know you want to.
Excuse me.
Simon.
Hi.
You remember me? Uh You gave my cheer team permission to use your song at our national competition.
Oh.
Ha.
Right.
Yeah.
And you gave me permission to use it.
Yeah, because I didn't know that Simon had already given the song to somebody else.
We're on opposing teams.
You can't give us both permission to use the song.
Can't you share? - It doesn't work like that.
- We don't share.
We're letting you use our song.
We're not charging you anything.
I don't see where the attitude is justified.
This is a nationally televised competition.
It is fantastic exposure for your band.
Don't pretend it isn't Ok, fine, but we don't care about your politics.
Y'all figure it out for yourselves.
Flip a coin.
We could do that.
No.
Simon You gave me permission, permission which I consider to be exclusive.
I have it in writing.
On a bar napkin.
I bought you 8 beers.
I want my money's worth.
Fine.
Here's where we rehearse.
We'll be there around 11:30.
When we're done our set tonight, your squad and her squad, you're gonna show up in your hot, little cheerleader outfits and you're gonna put on a show for us.
Underwear optional.
Uh, we're not putting on a show for you guys.
And I would never be able to assemble my entire squad on two hours' notice.
Then you don't get the song.
Two hours? I can make that happen.
- Ok, fine.
Yeah.
- We'll be there, too.
Pleasure doing business.
- Come on, Simon.
- Underwear is optional.
Seriously.
Hey, Alice.
Good luck tracking down your squad.
Mine are all at the same youth group meeting.
How'd it go? We have to call everyone.
We need them in uniform and ready to cheer.
I was messed up after that night in the movie theater.
I needed someone to talk to, and nobody knows you like Charlotte.
So you went to talk to my sister about me, and slept with her.
When you lay it out like that, it sounds sketchy.
Gee, Noah, you think? I'm not proud of what I did.
I strayed from my path, but I deserve a little credit for trying to do the right thing now.
Do you love her? I offered to marry her.
You didn't answer the question.
I love you.
Oh, Noah, don't do this.
Everything I said in that movie theater was true.
We can make it work between us.
I know we can.
Stop.
I'm sorry.
I know my timing is really bad, but I just feel like this could be my last chance to tell you how I feel.
I've never stopped loving you, and I never will.
In 3 months, you will have a wife and a baby.
I will be your sister-in-law.
It doesn't have to be like that.
Noah, nothing will ever happen with you and me.
Ok? That night in the movie theater, I obviously gave you false hope.
I'm sorry for that.
But the idea of us running off together, especially in light of all this, well That's just an immature fantasy.
You're acting like a child.
I see.
Well, then all you have to do is say the word.
The word? What word? Tell me you want me to marry Charlotte and I will.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
You got yourself into this situation.
You and Charlotte.
So whatever you decide to do about it is your responsibility.
And trying to make it my responsibility, I'm sorry, Noah, but that's a really crappy thing to do.
Savannah Good-bye, Noah.
I can't believe you finally got into Lancer.
Hmm.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
You know what I mean.
It's exciting.
You have any idea what the film project's gonna be? The assignment is to make a trailer.
I need a concept that's bold.
You know, something that shows I can move a camera.
But I don't have any money to work with.
Sounds like suspense or horror.
That's what I was thinking.
Best ones are done on the cheap.
You want to be in it? Only if you promise me a blood-soaked, gory death.
What are best friends for? I want to see my own intestines.
Lower? Upper? Lower.
I've been doing some sculpting on my lower GI tract.
I want to show it off.
Vanity, thy name is woman.
Consider it done.
Who is that Your drug dealer? Mm.
Alice.
Whatever she wants can wait.
So dad's song How was it? It was fine.
The sheet music displayed impeccable penmanship, which apparently I didn't inherit.
Well, God rarely gives with both hands.
I've known you a long time.
You know that? Obviously.
When you decide to accomplish something, M, you go after it.
Guns blazing.
You do.
If you wanted to know about your dad, I mean, Wanda's never been capable of stopping you.
Your point? And if this means so much to you, why didn't you push harder? That's a good question.
I was in eighth grade, I think.
And I asked why they split up.
She didn't want to talk about it, but I kept pushing.
No matter what she said, I wouldn't let it go.
She ends up in tears, the bottle comes out, she starts calling herself a bad mom, blah blah blah.
Hitting herself in the face.
Finally, I carried her off to bed, which is where she ended up staying for the next week.
I had to call her work and make up some B.
S.
Story about the flu.
At the end of the day, it just wasn't worth the hassle, you know? Yeah, I guess not.
She's known Travis for two and a half minutes and she's spilling her guts to him.
That hurts.
It's not Alice, is it? It's Savannah.
She's looking for you, actually.
Says it's an emergency.
Is Charlotte here yet? Not yet, but thank God you guys are.
Are you ready? Yeah.
You ladies wearing underwear? You guys wearing a dunce cap? You should be.
You're underdressed without it.
Touche.
That dude's stoned.
Why are we cheering for these creeps again? We have to.
Or we lose the song.
Li'l Kim's looking pretty attractive right about now.
All right, let's get this party started.
Who's first? Hey, hey, hey, hey hey, hey just can't get enough hey, hey, hey hey, hey, hey hey, miss, steal a kiss 'bout to be a flight risk once she finds out, finds out, finds out, yeah she's on to me, I'm into her she keeps on burning me, yeah just let it go and fill it up she's hot to touch, can't get enough she's chemical, she's radical she's hot to touch, in full control just can't get, just can't get enough just can't get, just can't get enough h-o-t t-o t-o-u-c-h yeah, we're hot to touch, touch by the way that we shake, hey h-o-t t-o t-o-u-c-h yeah, we're hot to touch, touch by the way that we shake, hey h-o-t t-o t-o-u-c-h yeah, we're hot to touch, touch by the way that we shake, hey h-o-t t-o t-o-u-c-h yeah, we're hot to touch, touch by the way that we shake, hey just let it go and fill it up she's hot to touch, can't get enough she's chemical, she's radical she's hot to touch, in full control just let it go and fill it up she's hot to touch, can't get enough she's chemical, she's radical she's hot to touch, in full control h-o-t t-o t-o-u-c-h yeah, we're hot to touch, touch by the way that we shake, hey h-o-t t-o t-o-u-c-h yeah, we're hot to touch, touch by the way that we shake, hey Great job, Hellcats.
Yeah! So what then? Do we have a verdict? Yeah.
Sexy girls with the bellies.
Y'all get the song.
Maybe it's just me, but I think you guys are a rare collection of rude jackasses.
Lighting up.
Getting drunk.
Whatever you guys have been doing.
It's incredibly disrespectful, and I believe I speak for my squad when I say you guys can just take that old amateur-ass song of yours and shove it up whatever hole you happen to have close at hand.
Do I speak for my squad? Yeah.
Your loss.
Cyclones, y'all get the song.
Actually, Lewis speaks for us, too.
When we beat the Hellcats, it'll be fair and square Not because they pissed off a pack of pig-ignorant townies.
You may want to rephrase that, little girl.
Intoxicated farm animals? That work for y'all? Wipe it up.
Wipe it up.
Bitch.
And proud of it.
Color me impressed.
Thanks.
So I guess I'll see you at Nationals? Yeah.
See you at Nationals.
What's this? My number.
In case you ever want to catch a show or something.
Bye.
Bye.
Ow.
Get off me, you crazy What is your problem? Stop! Let go of me! Hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa.
What's going on here? She is telling horrible lies about my fiance.
Whoa, scrapper.
Hey.
Let go.
I'm leaving.
I can't even look at you.
You're not getting anywhere near my baby.
I won't let you.
Great.
Now I have the freaking hiccups.
Ok, under the circumstances I'm going.
- Char - Don't talk to me.
I guess you told her about Noah? What was I supposed to do? Let her marry him and make the biggest mistake of her life? Those two wouldn't be able to keep cactuses alive.
It's cacti.
I come with open palms bearing baked goods.
You can stay.
Must be my lucky day.
Listen.
About yesterday.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to push.
I deserved to be pushed.
You were right.
I shouldn't worry about people gossiping, and I'm not.
Not really.
What are you worried about? I'm worried about the shame.
Yeah, I looked Derrick in the eyes telling him he wasn't the one.
I hurt him.
I hurt him so much and I just felt evil.
Telling the truth is not evil.
You are not evil.
Well, I'm hardly admirable.
Red have you ever wondered what would've happened if we never met? - What do you mean? - Do you think you'd still be with Emily? No.
Not a chance.
Why not? It wasn't it wasn't right.
It never was right.
You didn't love her? Sure.
I loved her.
There just wasn't a cosmic pull.
You know, that crazy-ass feeling that makes you want to cry at stupid love songs and run around hotel lobbies butt naked.
Oh, my gosh.
I forgot about that night.
We never did figure out who called security on us.
No.
Had to be front desk.
No, no way.
He wouldn't have ratted on us.
It was that woman with the chihuahua.
Oh, my gosh, yeah.
The one who looked like Barbara bush.
What about you? If we'd never met, would you be planning your wedding with Derrick right now? Maybe.
But it would've been a mistake.
He was wonderful, he was good to me, but there was some No cosmic pull.
No cosmic pull.
Vanessa? Practice doesn't start till three.
I have some new music choices I want you to hear.
Approved.
Come back in an hour.
Savannah? Mom.
Is everything ok? I suppose that is a matter of opinion.
You've probably heard by now that Charlotte broke off the engagement.
No, I hadn't heard.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I didn't want to tell her, but after what Noah said Don't beat yourself up.
It's for the best.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
And I want to thank you, by the way.
For what? For having the courage to tell Charlotte what I couldn't.
I think that marriage was doomed.
It would've been two children playing house with a real live baby and it most certainly would've ended in tears.
Why are you looking at me like that? I thought you were gonna be mad.
I'm too tired to be mad.
You know, when you were both little girls, I used to think it would get easier as you got older.
You'd be adults, you wouldn't be dependent on me and your dad for everything, and I would actually get to relax.
But you know what they don't tell you? What? It never gets any easier, being a mother.
I'm still just as invested.
I still worry.
Only now I don't get to control the decisions you make like I used to.
Give me a 9-year-old over a 19-year-old, hands down.
It's gonna be ok, mom.
I know.
So what's Charlotte gonna do now? She's gonna stay with us.
I'm here for anything.
I know you are, and oh, boy, am I ever gonna need you.
You are my strong one.
What's going on in here? This is my dad's stuff, right? Marti, I told you, I don't want to talk about this.
Who's talking? You got something to say? No, ma'am.
Going back to prison.
