Holly Hobbie (2018) s03e08 Episode Script

1
‐ Have you ever wondered
how we can we send people
to the moon,
but can't know for sure
if there's gonna be
a thunderstorm tomorrow or not?
According to Amy,
there's too many variables,
like sun and wind
and humidity.
So if one of them changes,
then boom,
a sunny day turns into
a thunderstorm.
But if we can't even
be prepared for a rainy day,
how can we be prepared
for anything else?
‐ One week left
until the Year End Formal!
Come get your tickets
before they all sell out!
‐ Oh, I didn't know tickets
were selling so fast.
‐ There may have been some
hyperbole in that statement.
‐ How much?
‐ Can you keep a secret?
‐ Sometimes.
‐ Okay, no one's buying tickets.
My legacy's gonna be
science nerd
who can't throw a party.
I've literally planned
the exact event
we've talked about
since we were kids.
‐ Maybe that's the problem.
You planned the exact event
we've been talking about
since we were kids.
‐ But who doesn't
love carnivals?
I've rented out a dunk tank,
a cotton‐candy machine,
all these awesome inflatables.
‐ The people want a dance.
‐ Okay, but we've had
like five this year.
‐ But not fancy ones
with party dresses.
‐ And where am I supposed
to find a DJ
on such short notice?
‐ Oscar will do it.
‐ Okay. Fine.
We can have a dance.
‐ Yes!
‐ As long as we're together,
singing, laughing and dancing,
it's all that matters.
‐ Okay, perfect.
I'll text Oscar,
get to work on
party decorations,
and I'll help get the word out.
Okay? Love you.
‐ And I'll sit here by myself
and pretend I'm still in charge.
Ticket?
You and me
run to a different beat ♪
We are brave
Lead the way lead the way ♪
Be the You inside ♪
And watch
the world take flight ♪
We are brave
Lead the way lead the way ♪
Be the change ♪
Be the change ♪
Gotta be the change ♪♪
‐ Oh, come on.
(chiming)
‐ Yes! Let's go! Whoo!
‐ Argh! This game
is a waste of time.
‐ Only because you lost.
Okay, um somebody's hangry.
How about I make you a snack?
How about one of my famous BLTs?
With extra
ba
Did you eat my bacon?
‐ What? No.
Why would I eat your bacon?
‐ Because bacon is delicious.
‐ Oh, true dat.
But before you ask,
it wasn't me.
Gotta keep the pounds off
for rehab.
Ahem. But if you want,
we can go to the store
and get some more?
‐ I can't. Robbie and I
are in the middle of a tournament.
‐ Ah.
Does he know that?
(snoring)
(light music)
‐ The ticket website
crashed again.
The school servers
can't handle the traffic.
‐ That's amazing!
‐ Or an indication
that the district
needs to invest more
in technological infrastructure.
‐ Oh, Oscar's a yes
on DJing, by the way.
(sighing)
‐ Tyler still hasn't
picked an outfit.
How are we supposed
to coordinate?
‐ You two are coordinating
outfits?
‐ That's what you're supposed
to do with your date, isn't it?
‐ Does everyone have dates?
‐ Well, Holly's going
with Oscar, I presume.
‐ Good job, Watson.
‐ Savannah's going with Bill,
and Will with Jamie, so
‐ So I'm gonna be
the only one flying solo.
Awesome.
‐ Hey, there's no shame
in being a single lady.
‐ You know,
there is another option.
‐ What? Hiding in the bathroom
stall all night?
‐ Find yourself a date.
‐ Amy, you don't have to.
‐ You know what? No.
Piper's right.
We're growing up,
and I, like you,
need to acquire
valuable experience
on the anthropological mating
habits of Homo sapiens.
(girl): We'll be back
in a minute with more science.
But right now, here's a PSA.
(woman): Worried a friend
might be on drugs?
Here are signs to look for.
Irritability
‐ Who would ever touch
that trash?
‐ losing weight
‐ Okay, who ate
all of the red onions?!
‐ keeping secrets
‐ Guess I'm gonna have
to go buy some more.
‐ lack of hygiene
‐ Robbie's been acting
like a total weirdo lately.
‐ You said he's being
lying a lot?
‐ About the most random things.
And he's angry all the time,
and he's tired and secretive.
‐ ambivalence towards
friends and family members.
‐ Oh, my gosh. Um
Y‐you don't think‐‐
‐ He's doing drugs?
‐ failure to take out
the trash.
‐ It would explain
his behaviour.
‐ You gotta tell your parents.
‐ Well, he'll just deny it.
And if I'm wrong, then
I'll never live it down.
If I'm gonna help Robbie, I
I need proof.
‐ Working on a new experiment?
‐ And I'm the test subject.
I'm trying to figure out
which guy to ask to our formal.
‐ Oh, and you've scored them
for intelligence,
personality,
looks and popularity.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ And then you're gonna pick
the stud with
the highest number?
‐ No way.
That guy has a lot of options.
My plan is to pick someone
with a score that is equal to
or lesser than mine.
'Cause that way,
I'm kind of guaranteed a yes.
‐ Okay, call me old‐fashioned
Why don't you just pick the guy
who makes you feel giddy?
‐ Giddy?
‐ You know,
butterflies in your stomach,
nervous and excited
at the same time.
‐ I don't think I feel
that way about anyone.
‐ How about somebody
you wouldn't mind talking to
for a really long time?
Who doesn't have sweaty palms.
‐ Okay. E‐even if I do figure
out who that person is
what if they say no?
‐ Okay, here's the secret.
Boys are simple.
If someone as smart and cool
as you asks one of them out,
they're probably gonna say yes,
if they didn't pass out first.
‐ We need to talk.
‐ Not now, Reggie. I'm busy.
‐ Just because Ms. Kim taught us
that electrons revolve
around the nucleus,
doesn't mean it's right.
I need you to organize
one of your protests.
‐ What do you think of Ian?
‐ It depends.
Is he good at making signs?
‐ He's no more
than a seven, right?
‐ You're rating our classmates?
‐ Maybe.
(laughing)
‐ He's a six, tops.
Never washes his hands.
‐ Ugh. Okay, what about Noah?
‐ Seven point five.
Decent at math,
but can barely spell.
‐ Hmm.
And me?
‐ Nine.
‐ Nine?!
‐ Okay, 9.5.
(chuckling)
‐ Would you like to go
to the dance with me?
‐ What colour's your dress?
‐ I haven't picked one yet.
‐ I'll get a pale‐pink corsage.
Goes with everything.
When and where
should I pick you up?
‐ Hobbie Farm. 6 p. m.
‐ Okay. It's a date.
‐ Sure seems like it.
(sighing)
‐ This isn't a practical joke,
is it?
‐ No, sir.
‐ Always better to check first.
(giggling)
(door opening and closing)
‐ Hey, Lyla.
‐ Hey. I can't figure out
what stunt
to put in our next routine,
Swedish Fall or Wolf Stand.
‐ It sounds like a real
life‐or‐death situation.
‐ Last year at finals,
our flyer was off by a second
and she broke her leg
in two places.
‐ Hmm. Um
have you seen Robbie today?
‐ No. Why?
‐ No reason. Never mind.
Um, I'll see you around.
‐ No, no, no. Wait.
We never have time together
just the two of us.
Why is that?
‐ Because we have nothing
in common?
‐ Of course we do.
We both love Robbie.
‐ He's on drugs!
‐ Robbie Hobbie? Never.
‐ I don't know. He's been acting
really weird lately.
‐ Boys are weird.
‐ Like, extra, extra weird.
‐ He's on his way
to meet me right now,
so we just can clear it up.
(phone buzzing)
Oh, he just cancelled on me.
That's really unlike him.
(phone buzzing)
Oh, but he says
it's just 'cause he has
more work at the newspaper.
‐ Yeah, except he's not
at the newspaper.
He's on the other side of town.
‐ Okay, that's weird.
‐ Exactly!
‐ Well, let's go.
‐ Where?
‐ No man lies to me
and gets away with it, Heather.
Let's go.
‐ Uh
‐ You know, I still
can't believe
I had no idea you liked Reggie!
‐ Well, we have a lot in common.
Like science. And, um
science.
‐ Well, I'm sure
he'll be a great boyfriend.
Ooh! We can go
on double dates together!
‐ Whoa, whoa.
Reggie is not my boyfriend.
‐ Mm. Yet.
Just wait until you two
are slow‐dancing and you get
lost in each other's eyes
and he kisses you.
(chuckling)
‐ On the dance floor?
In front of everyone?
‐ Stop worrying, Ames. Okay?
You don't have to kiss him
if you don't want to.
(Holly's mom): Girls,
boys are here!
(pop music playing)
‐ You okay?
‐ I'm just second‐guessing
this lip colour.
I'll be down in a minute.
‐ You look beautiful.
(soft music)
(sighing)
‐ Looks like the sky's
about to open up.
Maybe we should go back?
‐ Without confronting
that lying brother of yours?
Not a chance.
(thunder rumbling)
(Robbie): All the money's
in the envelope? Cool.
‐ Oh, he's not just using drugs,
he's dealing them, too. Great.
(sighing)
You are in big trouble!
‐ Heather. Lyla.
What are you doing here?
‐ You think you're
hallucinating from all the ganja
you've been firing up?
‐ What is she talking about?
(thunder booming)
Get your bikes,
get in the truck.
‐ First, I want answers.
‐ The radio said
there's about to be
a major storm.
We don't want to be here
when it hits.
‐ More lies!
(thunder booming)
Okay, maybe the truck
is not a bad idea.
‐ Yeah. Let's go.
(thunder booming)
(light music)
‐ You look nice.
‐ Thank you.
‐ What about me?
‐ You got something
on your cheek.
‐ I do?
‐ Yeah.
You look better than nice.
‐ They make a cute couple,
don't they?
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ Not as cute as us, though.
‐ Okay, everyone,
enough talking.
Let's get some photos.
‐ Ooh, not without Amy.
(sighing)
(Holly): Amy! Hey, Amy,
we need you!
(breathing shakily)
‐ Just scooch a little closer.
You guys look so amazing!
‐ Oh.
‐ Okay, is there supposed to be
a filter on these things?
‐ What's a filter?
‐ Oh!
‐ Sorry‐‐
(excited chatter)
‐ You look so beautiful!
‐ Great.
‐ Ahem.
‐ Shouldn't you be standing
with your date?
‐ Right.
(awkward laughter)
Hey, Reggie.
(thunder rumbling)
‐ Hi.
‐ Oh. Thanks.
‐ Okay, everyone,
a little bit closer.
And on three, two, one
Pickle!
(all): Pickle!
(laughter)
‐ Okay, I think I got it.
‐ That looks great.
‐ Let's roll.
(indistinct chattering)
‐ Alright.
‐ Come on, Holly.
‐ You got the keys?
(indistinct chatter
and laughter)
(rain pouring)
(gasping and exclaiming)
‐ Oof.
‐ We're gonna get soaked!
‐ Won't matter.
The dance has been cancelled
because of the weather.
We should all just try
to get home
before it gets worse.
‐ It already has.
The roads are out for flooding.
(thunder rumbling)
You're all stuck here.
‐ Mom, Dad, I need you guys
to go upstairs,
find a good TV series to binge,
and don't come down
until everybody goes home.
‐ What?
‐ Everyone else, give me
15 minutes.
‐ For what?
‐ Amy worked so hard to plan
a special night for us.
We'll just have the dance here.
(laughing)
‐ Yeah
(laughter)
(whooping)
(dance music)
(indistinct chattering)
‐ Oh! Whoa!
(exclamations)
Whoa!
Reggie is an amazing dancer!
Who knew?
(laughter)
(soft music)
‐ Aw. This is the song
I wrote about us.
‐ I know.
(Holly laughing)
‐ Where's Tyler?
Before you came around
the sun did shine ♪
I know you know ♪
‐ Should we dance?
‐ Oh, I‐I
need to pee.
This could explode
all up in smoke ♪♪
(thunder rumbling)
Oh.
‐ What's your problem?
‐ I just wanted to spend
the night with Holly.
‐ That makes both of us.
I like Piper.
‐ You just like Holly more.
‐ I thought we were friends,
and then she kissed me
and told me she liked me and
I told her I like her back,
and I want to like her back‐‐
‐ You need to tell Piper
the truth.
‐ About what?
‐ I am allergic to shellfish.
One shrimp
and I'm just a goner.
‐ Me too! See? I knew
we had something in common!
Okay, let's dance.
‐ If this stuff
is so straightforward,
then why are you hiding
from your date too?
(scoffing)
‐ Come on, come on, come on.
Go.
(groaning)
‐ Dad didn't think
it was safe to go home.
‐ He was right.
I'll get some towels.
‐ Okay.
‐ So why were you spying on me?
‐ We know about your addiction.
‐ You do?
‐ Oh, yes.
‐ How did you know?
‐ The signs were obvious.
You're tired all the time‐‐
‐ You're lying
about where you are.
‐ You're stealing. The bacon!
‐ Okay, I'm sorry, okay?
I'm hooked and I didn't want
anyone to find out.
‐ Okay, then we'll help you.
‐ I don't want help.
I can do it myself.
‐ But drugs are bad!
‐ What are you talking about?
What is she talking about?
‐ No clue.
‐ What are you talking about?!
Okay, gimme the box.
‐ No! No, no, no!
Don't open it!
‐ Blackberry vanilla?
Sour cherry?
What kind of drugs are these?
‐ I'm not doing drugs, Heather.
Look, I'm making artisanal jam.
‐ Say what, now?
‐ Ever since we made
our first batch.
I got a couple of customers.
‐ Like that woman you just met.
‐ Yeah, she owns a small hotel.
She wanted to stock the jam
in her gift shop.
‐ Blueberry bacon?
‐ That's where my bacon went!
(chuckling)
‐ I knew you weren't
doing drugs, babe.
‐ Really?
Anyways, um
if all you were doing
was making jam,
then why all the lies?
‐ I didn't want this to be
another thing I tried
and failed at.
(thunder booming)
I just wanted to make jam.
(wind howling)
Are you okay?
‐ Guys, why's the sky green?
(wind howling)
(thunder rumbling)
‐ Please don't let us die.
‐ That is statistically
unlikely.
‐ Just do something
to take my mind off this.
‐ I‐I‐I still like Holly.
‐ Oscar went out to get
flashlights from the shed.
(sighing)
I hope he's okay.
‐ Don't worry.
You'll have a backup.
‐ What are you talking about?
‐ Okay, we're all about to die
and all you guys care about
is your stupid boyfriends?
‐ You said
it was statistically unlikely.
‐ Okay, you promised me a night
where we could all
be together and have fun,
but you've made it a disaster ‐
literally!
(panting)
‐ Ah. And then there was light.
What'd I miss?
(sighing)
‐ Good. You're still alive.
‐ What are you doing in here?
‐ No windows.
Safest place in a storm.
Besides, it's not like
you wanted me out there.
‐ Look, I'm sorry I didn't
want to slow‐dance with you.
‐ Honestly, I'm relieved.
The average human hand
has five million bacteria.
Did you know
after the last Sheffield dance,
half the students got sick
from the flu?
‐ I thought there was
a shot for that.
(scoffing)
‐ Don't even get me started
on the abysmal vaccination rate
in this county.
‐ Reggie
If you didn't want to go
to the dance with me,
why did you say yes
when I asked?
‐ I knew it would make
my parents happy
if I did something normal.
‐ Why is this normal?
Why waste so much energy
on ill‐fated relationships‐‐
‐ When we could be making
groundbreaking
scientific discoveries.
‐ Exactly.
(chuckling)
‐ Biology.
Your friends are wired
to focus on stuff like this.
‐ So is there
something wrong with us?
‐ We're just more evolved.
You should have empathy
for your poor friends.
They haven't chosen
boys over you,
they have no choice.
(house creaking)
(gasping)
‐ Is that‐‐
‐ A tornado? You bet.
‐ Okay,
everyone's gonna be okay.
We're gonna be safe in here.
(house creaking)
(thunder rumbling)
‐ Amy?
I'm sorry I made tonight
all about boys.
‐ Yeah, me too. Boys are stupid.
‐ I'll have you know
I have an IQ of 150.
I'm a genius.
(chuckling)
‐ I'm sorry for losing
my temper, Piper.
Just wanted an awesome night
with all my friends.
(thunder booming)
‐ Does it sound like the storm's
getting closer?
‐ What?
‐ Quick! Um,
what does everyone's perfect
night sound like?
‐ Um, we'd all be together.
‐ Check.
‐ There'd be music.
‐ Hey.
(banjo music playing)
Oh, this was our favourite song
in kindergarten!
Do you remember?
I don't want to be a chicken,
I don't want to be a duck.
So I shake my butt ♪
(laughter)
I don't want to be a chicken
I don't want to be a duck ♪
So I shake my butt ♪
What, are you boys too cool
to join in?
‐ I'm not.
I don't want to be a chicken ♪
I don't want to be a duck ♪
So I shake my butt ♪
I don't want to be a chicken
I don't want to be a duck ♪
So I shake my butt ♪
I don't want to be a chicken
I don't want to be a duck ♪
So I shake my butt ♪
I don't want to be a chicken
I don't want to be a duck ♪
So I shake my butt ♪♪
(soft music)
(rain pattering)
‐ Sounds like the wind
has died down.
Do you think it's over?
‐ I'll go check.
(thunder rumbling)
‐ I'll keep your secret,
big brother.
‐ Me too.
‐ Thanks.
(chuckling)
‐ If anyone can make jam cool
(sighing)
it's you.
(sighing)
‐ I'm gonna go check
on the animals.
Okay. I'm gonna go call
Heather and Robbie.
‐ Okay.
‐ Oh, I have cell service!
‐ Oh, me too.
‐ Hey, Mom. You okay?
I know, it was wild.
‐ I should probably call
my folks, too.
‐ Okay.
‐ I love you.
And I'm really sorry
that this night
didn't go the way
you wanted it to.
‐ At least it was memorable.
(laughter)
(sighing)
It feels like
everything's changing.
‐ Not the important stuff.
Not us.
‐ I should probably check in
with the parental unit.
‐ So
‐ So
‐ Things seemed to be a bit
stormy between you and Piper.
‐ I told her
I like someone else.
‐ Really? Do I know her?
(sighing)
(light music)
Well
whoever she is
she's a really lucky girl.
‐ Good news.
The tornado missed
the town entirely.
Nobody got hurt.
(both chuckling)
(Holly): Yet.
But I predict
that there might be
some more stormy weather ahead.
(sighing)
Whoa
My heart's beating faster ♪
Whoa
Our worlds could be shattered ♪
We will always be ♪
A natural disaster ♪
Whoa, the pressure is higher ♪
Oh, like wild to my fire ♪
We will always be ♪
A natural disaster ♪♪
