Party of Five s02e21 Episode Script

[.]
Hey, hey, hey.
Working hard, I see.
Joe! God, Joe! Joe, you're back.
Yeah, I'm back.
Wow! Will you look at this place? Holy cow.
Thanks.
Um, yeah, I told you about-- What are you doing back? Charlie, where's your head? I gave you my schedule.
I told you I was gonna be here for a couple of weeks.
It's a good thing too because I think we might have a little problem.
Certified mail? It's nothing to panic about, but that bastard Montgomery, he's finally decided to sell the building.
Oh, rightright.
He, uh-- He mentioned something about that.
Yeah? Did he tell you about the buyer, this Isley Financial Group? Not really.
Uh, he pretty much just said he was gonna accept the offer.
Charlie, our lease is up in June, so we gotta figure out what their plans are.
I-- I don't know.
Ah, you know, they probably just want to jack up the rent and gouge us for whatever they can get away with, but hey, we can handle it, right? Huh? I mean, it wouldn't make sense for them to boot us now.
Look what you have done with this place.
Your old man would be proud.
[THE BODEANS' "CLOSER TO FREE" PLAYING.]
Everybody wants to live Like they wanna live And everybody wants to love Like they wanna love Everybody wants to be Closer to free-ee-ee Closer to free BAILEY: So So wait a second-- So now Saturday's out too? SARAH: Well, yeah.
We got this call from this girl at Central High.
And the lead singer of the band that was supposed to perform for their spring dance, I guess came down with mono, so they needed a replacement, we needed a gig, so Matt booked it.
Sorry.
No, no, no.
You don't have to be sorry.
I mean, you guys are taking off.
And that's-- Pretty cool, huh? Yeah.
Oh, you know what? I can't meet you for lunch.
I've gotta Xerox copies of sheet music, but we can see each other between classes.
And after school.
Uh, rehearsal.
But you're gonna come tonight, right? I know it's at the coffeehouse again, but we can hang between sets.
Um Actually, I'm starting to feel a little like Yoko Ono, so I think I might just catch a movie with Will.
Oh.
Oh, right.
It's kind of silly for you to be there every night, anyway.
Yeah.
So I won't see you until Wow, until tomorrow.
No, between classes, remember? Yeah.
Gotta go.
Love you.
Yeah.
I love you too.
JULIA: Are you avoiding me? No, of course not.
'Cause you haven't called me the last couple of nights.
Well, I've been busy.
So, I mean And I guess I can understand that 'cause I haven't been-- I mean, I know I haven't been the most pleasant person to be around lately.
And I'm sorry.
And I've been thinking about what you said about us needing to do stuff together, and you were right.
We need to do something different and fun and different, so, um, I found this ad for a class at SF Community.
Available-Light Photography? Twice a week for six weeks, and you're already into photography, so you can show me some of the basics.
What? I thought I told you.
Told me what? About the project at the station.
I'm going to be working the next two weeks straight through.
I'm pretty sure that I told you.
Oh.
I guess I must have just forgotten.
Sorry.
No.
No, that's okay.
I understand.
[BELL RINGING.]
So you think I can borrow your camera? Okay, what do you want first, Seventeen or Sassy? I copped my own, thank you, while you were yammering.
Jody, I can't believe that-- Playgirl? Wow, check him out.
Cute butt.
I don't know.
You like chest hair? Well, Ihaven't really given it that much thought.
Oh, my God.
It's him.
Him who? Jim Trowell, the new guy.
He's a major babe.
You think? Hello? What planet are you on? Oh, my God.
He's coming over here.
Be cas, okay? Hey.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
Did you hear the way he said that? BOY: There's a catch.
Excuse me? This little thing right here? You gotta press it and then lift this up.
Ah, thanks.
Sure.
Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but have you actually ever used a camera before? Hm? You forgot the lens.
Oh! Uh, the beginning class meets on Mondays.
This is [IN UNISON.]
available light.
Yeah, I know.
I was actually supposed to take this with someone who's been doing it for a while, but they bailed at the last minute, so Well, it's not like I'm an old pro or anything, but, uh if you need any help, I'm Ian.
Julia.
This looks heavy.
[GRUNTS.]
So when do we get roadies? MAN: Hey, you guys need a hand with that? Oh, hey, thanks.
A miracle.
Ha! Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Thanks.
Can you guys, like, you know, spare a couple of bucks? Yeah, I've got some change in my purse.
Hold on a sec.
I don't want your change.
Gimme your wallet.
Okay, um Come on! Look, bro, I've got, like, Just take it easy.
Don't hurt anybody.
Just walk away, all right? Let me have your purse! Purse! Let me have the purse! Sarah, give him the purse.
Sarah, give him-- What is the matter with you, bitch?! [SCREAMS.]
[SARAH SCREAMS.]
So I called Montgomery, right? What? To see if these Isley Financial guys wanted to come to the place for dinner.
Why would you do that? To wine and dine them, to see what their plans are.
So anyway, he calls me back, and he tells me that they're not interested.
Now, what do you suppose that means? It probably means that they don't want to have dinner.
No.
Uh-uh.
I-- I think something's up.
So Emmett gave me the names-- Joe, why are you pushing this? Because I want to make damn sure we don't lose this place, Charlie.
Right.
Right.
You're right.
That'd be terrible.
That'd be bad, but I mean Okay, what if we do? I mean, what's the worst that could happen? We could always find another location.
What the hell are you talking about, another location? Especially coming from you.
This is your father's place.
This is Salinger's.
CLAUDIA: Hey, Joe! Hey.
Look who's here.
Hey, Joe.
Hi.
How you doing? Good.
Good to see you.
Oh, wow, this is perfect because we have a surprise, and it's actually for the both of you.
So close your eyes.
I'm kind of busy here, Claud.
Hey, we went out of our way here.
Come on.
Close your eyes.
Ta-da! Oh, wow.
We had the review perma-plaqued.
We figured you guys could hang it out front.
JOE: Oh, yeah.
"Reinventing a classic.
" Not bad.
Funny.
Um Is this the same Kathleen Isley? I don't know.
Who's Kathleen Isley? One of Charlie's women.
WILL: Bailey! Bay.
Can I talk to you, like now? What? What's going on? I don't know.
Dana called, okay.
And I don't know how serious it is, but What? Matt and Sarah were robbed in the alley behind the coffeehouse.
What? Is--? Is Sarah okay? All I know, all Dana said was, they were both in the emergency room.
The emergency room? Come on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait a minute.
Are you--? Are you telling me that you dumped this woman? You want to tell me what the hell's going on here? Coming through! Sarah? Get out of the way.
Watch the lines.
Sarah.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I'm looking for a Sarah Reeves.
She was probably just admitted.
No, I don't see that name.
That's impossible.
She was brought in like a half hour ago.
She was mugged.
Do you know if she was conscious? Because we wouldn't have her name if-- -Bay.
-What does she look like? Sarah.
Sarah, hey.
My God, are you okay? He hurt you.
No, I'm okay.
I came with Matt.
He's getting stitches.
But I'm okay.
What happened? This guy, he had a knife, and I couldn't move, and he grabbed me, and then Matt tried to stop him-- Hey.
Seven stitches.
Tetanus shot hurt more, actually.
God, I should have been with you.
Maybe if I was with you-- Maybe if you'd been there, you'd have been cut too.
It's not like you could have done anything anyway.
Hey.
Hey, it's all right, okay? You're okay, now.
Yeah, it's just still kind of scary.
I know, but it's over.
Besides, now we kind of got a cool story to tell, right? I don't know, maybe we can write a song about this, turn it into something good.
WOMAN [ON PA.]
: Dr.
Frazer.
Dr.
Sean Frazer.
She's gonna take it away? How could she just take it away? God, Charlie, what could you have done to make her do this? I mean, it's our name.
It's our restaurant.
I didn't do anything.
You have to fix this, Charlie.
You have to stop her.
I can't, all right? I tried.
I tried, but she won't listen.
Tried what? What's going on? Kathleen's buying the restaurant to get back at Charlie.
It's gone.
Gone? What do you mean gone? It's not my fault, okay? It's not.
It is your fault, Charlie.
You're the one who got involved with her.
Listen to me, you guys.
It's not.
I-- I just-- I ended it, that's all.
She was in love with me, and I didn't want to lead her on.
I did the right thing, and I had no way of knowing that she was going to do this.
Wait a second.
Help me out here, Charlie.
You lose Dad's restaurant, and then you try and tell us that it's not your fault? I'm sorry, but how the hell is that not your fault? I can't believe you did this.
I mean, even you.
Come on, will you please just? [SHUTTER CLICKS.]
IAN: Wow.
Portrait of the artist as a very sad person.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I must have gone somewhere.
Well, you better come back, start wasting some film.
Uh, I'll get a shot of you.
No, no, no, no.
We're doing candids, um, like Likethere, the unknown Gabor sister.
Ah.
[CHUCKLING.]
Now, start on F6, work your way down in half-stops, okay? And hurry up.
She's almost out of the light.
Come on.
You're going to miss her.
Just point and shoot.
You're all set.
Whoa, whoa.
She's over there.
What are you shooting? What's wrong? Uhnothing.
I just think I know that guy.
Oh, really? Is he a friend of yours? No.
He's just someone who goes to my school.
Uh, anyway, uh, we should get back to the lab.
You can show me how to print these up.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
A beeper? Yeah.
Are you kidding me? No.
See, this way, whenever you leave to go to a gig, you can page me, and punch in a one.
And then when you get there, you page me and punch in a two.
And if there's an emergency at all, you punch in a three.
So one, you left, two, you got there, three, emergency.
Okay.
Hey, I got you this.
Pepper spray.
Pepper spray? Yeah, anybody tries to grab you or anything, psst! Right in the eyes.
Okay, you just press this button here.
[ALARM WAILING.]
Oh! Whoa, whoa.
GIRL: What is that? It's a built-in alarm.
Handy.
And you have to promise me that you're not gonna walk to your car alone anymore.
Okay? You make sure somebody from the band goes with you.
If you're gonna drive yourself to a gig, then call ahead and make sure somebody's waiting for you in the parking lot.
Okay? Hey It's okay.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Yeah, I know that.
And, like, all of our handprints are in the cement out front, except for Owen's, but I mean, Charlie said that he was going to do his too, but You know, it's kind of this tradition-- I'll bet he's a great kisser.
Excuse me? Jim Trowell.
I mean, look at those lips.
Are you even listening to me? Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Tradition.
Do you wanna go to Donna Sampson's party with me tomorrow night? I mean, it sounds like you could kind of get your mind off things for a while, you know? I wasn't invited.
Anyway-- I'm inviting you, doof.
They play all these really great kissing games and stuff.
Kissing games? And you have to go.
Cause Jim's bringing his friend Derrick.
He wants to meet you.
He's way cute.
I don't know, Jody.
Hey, be there, or be square.
[BILL BONK'S "WORLD GONE MAD" PLAYING.]
Like a tin roof cat In a world gone mad Living fractured Like some fable Again.
Do you really wanna do this? Man, everybody's got an opinion.
Come on, isn't there somebody I can call for you? Just run this out, okay? Keep me up With the drifters In this underworld cartoon Hi.
I'm glad you're here.
You can help me do the sets for tomorrow night.
Are you up for doing Heartbreak in public? I guess not.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
What's up? With such questions Here at hand I have-- I have to quit the band.
Because you're scared? Look, I-- I see that guy everywhere.
And this gig tomorrow night, Bailey says it's in a really bad neighborhood.
I don't want to leave you guys in the lurch, but I don't know what else to do.
He's got me carrying pepper spray to the bathroom-- Okay, all right.
First of all, I can't believe you're gonna let some pimply- faced loser with a knife keep you from doing something you love.
Yes, we can definitely all be a little more careful, but we can't control what we can't control, right? I get the feeling you're letting somebody scare you.
Don't do that.
'Cause I'm here, okay? And I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.
I promise.
Like a tin-roof cat [SNIFFS.]
Hey.
Wow.
It's late.
Yeah, I know.
I just wanted to catch you when you got back from work.
How was it? Work.
It was work.
How was your class? Open it up.
See for yourself.
We took some candids on Market Street.
Focus is a little soft, but it's a pretty good shot, don't you think? Why would you lie to me? I didn't lie.
Justin, I have pictures.
I did not lie, okay? I didn't tell you about it, which is not the same thing.
Her name is Corey.
She's an intern at the station.
We met one night because we both like to take walks during our breaks.
So we started walking together and talking, and that's what we do.
What do you talk about? Do you tell her stuff about us? Yeah, I've told her a few things.
Justin, why would you--? Hey, I need to talk to someone, okay? And I can't talk to you.
You won't let me.
She's just a friend, okay? And I sort of need that right now.
[TELEPHONE RINGING.]
CLAUDIA: Bailey! Bailey! Bailey, wake up.
Wake up! You gotta take this.
What? What time is it? I don't know.
You gotta take this call.
What is it, Sarah? Did something happen? I don't know.
They said they have to speak to the oldest.
Hello.
Yeah, he's my brother.
What happened? What is--? Something happened? What's going on? The sheriff's department.
I think something happened to Charlie.
Wait.
He was what? Drunk and disorderly? Yeah.
Yeah, I can come down and do that.
Okay.
[BAILEY SIGHS.]
Or maybe we should just let him spend the night in jail.
[SIREN WAILS.]
You called Joe? Yeah.
We didn't happen to have 2500 bucks lying around to bail you out.
Take him home, will you, Joe? I don't even want to look at him right now.
You wanna tell me what the hell's going on with you? -Not now, Joe.
-Yeah, now, Charlie.
Look, this whole thing is not my fault, okay? Only nobody seems to be listening to me-- First of all-- Nobody seems-- I don't give a damn about that.
The fact is, it happened, and you gotta deal with it.
I mean, look at you! Is this how you deal with things? You go out to a bar, and you get drunk, and you punch people? What are you, 16? I'm sorry you got dragged into this, okay? Can we please just go? Charlie, I don't get you.
You got a lot going for you.
You know that? You're raising the kids.
They're doing great.
You did a beautiful job with the restaurant.
You had Kirsten, this incredible woman.
And yet, what do you do every time? Anything good comes along, you find a way to screw it up! Thanks for bailing me out.
I'll pay you back.
Hey.
What are you doing here? I was just wondering if you wake up happy.
'Cause I do.
Like every morning, I I keep having these dreams.
Like this morning, we were 6-years-old, and we were playing tag in the woods.
And it felt good.
And when I wake up, it's like that feeling's still with me while I'm lying there.
And then I remember, and it's like I wake up again, you know? I wish I could remember those dreams.
All we do now is fight, you know? And accuse each other.
I mean, we can't even talk anymore, you know? Do you still love me? I mean, 'cause if you don't, I kind of need to know, you know? Of course I do.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, God.
Can't we just? I don't know.
Can't we? Yeah.
Wow, so, Charlie, huh? I mean, was he hurt? Did he hurt anybody? No.
No, not really.
He's kind of out of control right now, but my point is, when Claudia woke me up, the first thing I thought was that something bad had happened to you, and So I'm thinking that I should come with you tonight.
I'm just gonna come with you.
God, Bailey, you know what? Just-- God.
What? Would you please stop? What, am I supposed to feel guilty now every time your phone rings? No, Sarah.
I just I'm worried about you, that's all.
You could've been killed.
Yes, yeah, Bailey, I could have been, but that is the last thing that I need you to remind me of all the time.
Look, I need to get past this, but you're not letting me.
Okay, so I've got the pager number, I've got the pepper spray, Matt's gonna be with me at the gig tonight, so I'm fine.
Will you please just lay off? God.
Then how about jewelry? Oh, look, perfect.
You know, yin and yang represents harmony of opposites, man, woman, dark, light If you gave this to me, I'd melt, honest to God.
Uh I don't know.
I think she'd probably-- [IN UNISON.]
Hate it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
Wow.
No wonder you're going to all this trouble.
She sounds delightful.
Corey! [LAUGHING.]
No, she is.
She is, really.
She's, uh She's just kind of hard to read sometimes.
I don't know.
I gave her jewelry for Valentine's Day, so Oh, okay, well You want my advice, get her some perfume and call it a day.
What kind does she wear? Uh, I think it's that.
I don't know.
I'd have to smell it.
Mmm I don't know.
It's, uh, different on you.
A little sweeter, maybe.
I think she'd hate it.
CLAUDIA: So her parents just, like, let her have parties all the time? Only on nights when they both have to work.
Okay, now, if either of us wants to leave, we just, like, pull on our earlobe, right? [LAUGHS.]
Oh, there's Jim.
Be cool, okay? Hey.
Hey.
You guys know Derrick? Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
You want to play, uh Seven Minutes in Heaven? Cool.
Cool.
Cool.
Is that like charades? [BOYS LAUGHING.]
Ah, come on.
I'll show you.
Hey.
Hey.
MATT: Let's hold off on the second set till the guys from K-BAD show up.
That's our best stuff.
Oh, can we throw in Fever too? Yeah, yeah, definitely.
What is this, pepper spray? Yeah.
Bailey's idea.
Pretty soon I'll be wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a semiautomatic weapon.
You know, he'd have a tracking device installed in my head if he could.
Oh, he's driving me nuts.
You're driving me nuts.
I'm sorry.
Um I know you have a boyfriend, so let's just call this a brain burp for now, okay? Okay, let's get started.
CLAUDIA: Wow, it's-- It's dark in here.
Uh, we don't need the light.
Can't we just leave it on for a second? Uh, sure.
Okey-dokey.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
Wow somebody plays tennis.
Uh, yeah.
Umwe only have seven minutes.
I mean, they're timing us outside, so So what are we supposed to do? Well, you know, make out and stuff.
What kind ofstuff? Here, I'll show you.
Hey! Hey! Hey, what's your problem? Man! IAN: Nice shot.
Where is this? We have this window seat in our house.
And the light's really pretty in the afternoon.
And you took this? Yeah.
Took me, like, forever to figure out how to use the self-timer, butyeah.
What do you think? I think she's in focus.
And she's pretty.
And she's She's kind of haunted, hm? Which is nice, actually.
I don't know.
Maybe I should do, like, a 5-by-7.
It's a gift, so Oh, really? For who? For my-- For this friend of mine.
Anyway, a 5-by-7 of me looking haunted is probably a lot better than-- Well, anyway, I'll, uh put this in the fixer, and, uh you'll be all set.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER, JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING.]
You don't need to be here.
I know.
I want to, okay? Go home, Charlie.
Go pull yourself together.
I'm sorry, but, uh you don't need to worry about coming back.
What is this? Are you firing me? Is that what this is? 'Cause you gotta at least-- No, no.
I'm not firing you, Charlie.
I'm shutting the place down.
What? I talked to Isley's attorney, and they're not budging.
So I don't see any point in dragging this out until June.
It'd be one long funeral, week after week, and I don't wanna do that, so I'm giving everybody their severance.
I'm gonna let our regular customers know, and, uh, try to let this place die with a little dignity.
Just, um, get it over with while I'm still in town and move on.
All this work you did for what? Listen, tell the kids to come in next Friday for their dinner.
That's gonna be the last night.
Joe It's finished, Charlie.
[.]
Wow.
You did this with a timer? Uh-huh.
You made the print and everything? Well, I had some help.
It's beautiful.
Thanks.
You like? It's nice.
Did somebody help you pick this out? 'Cause the last time you bought me perfume-- What was that called? Uh God, uh Barracuda.
Yeah.
I was 12, so Yeah, the, uh, saleslady helped me this time.
Well, it's-- It's great.
So anyways Yeah.
Imagining the view From the top of the pile It all looks better With a smile [MUSIC STOPS.]
So I was wondering, is there some reason why we aren't talking? I don't know.
We're talking now.
You tell me.
So you haven't talked to Will since last night? Will? No.
Why? No reason.
Matt kissed me.
Matt kissed you.
You mean, you mean, like-- Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a surprise to me too.
Did you kiss him back? Well, did you want to kiss him back? Is--? Is--? Is something going on? Sarah, because I mean, obviously he's interested in you, and I should probably break his neck the next time I see him-- Bailey, it just happened, okay? It happened, and it didn't mean anything.
And I just thought the decent thing to do was to tell you because you should know.
So now I know.
Hey! What happened to you last night? You missed a wild game of Spotlight.
Derrick didn't tell you? Yeah.
He told me you're a great kisser, and you guys got to second base.
Way to go.
He said that? You bet.
Oh, guess what.
Jim wants us to meet up for the movies this afternoon.
His brother works at the Metro and can sneak us into something good.
It's gonna be a blast.
Is that all you care about? Excuse me? 'Cause I don't.
I don't wanna go to the movies with those guys.
I just-- I'm not ready for all the stuff with Jim and Derrick and Can't things just be the way they were? Why? You know, I just-- Just forget about it.
You know, if you wanna spend all your time with them instead of me, that's That's fine.
Just do what you want.
Hey, I'm not trying to cut you out, okay? But, you see, this thing with Jim, this is, like, really cool.
This is something that I want to do.
So I mean, you can come along or not.
It's kind of your call.
[.]
Julia-- Uh, oops.
Disappointed? No, no.
Not at all.
I hate to be a copycat, but I was wearing it all day yesterday, and it just sort of grew on me.
So how'd it go, uh, with Julia? Uh it was, uh weird.
Howweird? "Weird" weird.
Uh I just Ah, forget about it.
Look, I know things are kind of hard for you right now.
I get that.
But, I don't know, you know, maybe it would make things easier for you to know that there is someone else in this world who thinks you're adorable, and you're smart, and your jokes are actually funny, and you-- Wait-- Wait a minute.
Don't say anything else, all right? Why not? Hearing you say it out loud, uh sort of makes it official.
And, I don't know, I just don't wanna screw up whatever we have going here.
Oh.
Okay.
I think.
You're right, though.
It is nice to know.
You should probably take some pictures, huh? Let's just sit here for a few more minutes, okay? Yeah.
So, um You remember last night in the darkroom when I sort of kissed you? Mm-hm.
Well, you haven't said anything about it, so I'm just wondering what that means.
I, um have a-- A boyfriend.
Why didn't you tell me? Because things haven't been that great with him lately, and we've just been going through all this stuff, and it's just been really hard right now, and It's just easier with you.
Remember this? That ugly checkered material on all the booths? And him, the dishwasher? What was his name? Ernest, I think.
Yeah.
He used to give me dimes and tell me they were silver dollars.
Claudia-- I was just thinking about how I wouldn't go there, you know, right after Mom and Dad died.
Only you finally made me because you said it was like he's still there.
Yeah, I know.
And you were right.
I mean, even now I know it doesn't look the same, but it-- It still feels like his place.
And when I go there after school or to a family dinner, that's when I feel close to him.
That's when I-- I feel like part of him is still here.
This is really gonna happen, huh? I'm sorry.
For whatever that's worth.
You think that, um you'll ever be able to forgive me for this? I love you, Charlie.
But, no.
I don't think I can.
[.]
Hey.
Hey.
My favorite shirt.
Oh, yeah.
I was just gonna go catch a movie with Will and Gina.
Aren't you guys playing at that dance tonight? Yeah.
I'm on my way.
You know, can we talk for a second? Look, I keep thinking about all this stuff, all the weirdness, and the thing with Matt, well, it's-- It's not about me and Matt.
It's about us, Bailey, you and me.
It's like you're smothering me because you want me to be dependent on you or something.
And maybe there's nothing wrong with that.
I don't know.
But you're not always gonna be here.
You know, you're out of here in a few months, and I'm gonna be on my own, so I sort of need to learn how to depend on myself.
And you have to let me do that, Bailey.
You have to.
I have to because you say so, and so that's the way it's gonna be.
Bailey, listen to me-- I heard what you said.
