Holly Hobbie (2018) s04e07 Episode Script

One night there was a bright
light in the sky.
Heather thinks it was a UFO,
Robbie is convinced it was
space-junk.
But I'm pretty sure
it was just a planet.
But that's, that's confusing, right?
I mean we all saw
the same thing but we all
Saw something different.
Doesn't it make you wonder
if we can trust anything
we don't see for ourselves?
Okay. So, should I open
the presentation
with a picture of the space
where we wrote the song
or a picture of me playing at
Song Circle?
Oh the first one.
That office is beautiful.
- Right?!
- The second one.
You are beautiful.
- Suck up.
Savannah, break the tie?
Uh, how can one possibly
decide?
That's literally why I brought
you here.
Ugh, guys, I want this
presentation to be perfect, okay?
Heather's dance teacher invited
me to the studio to talk about
going to the big city to work
on your art.
And I want to inspire them
(harmonic singing)
Um, Holly, have you
heard the new Amelia Garbenzo
song yet?
Now you've got your small-town
girls ♪
Stole you from me,
destroy my whole world ♪
She rope you in from
the start ♪
And then she will trample
you're heart ♪
Yeah, yeah. I like the melody.
It's a little mean though.
You really don't know?
Amelia used to date Justin.
Justin, the guy who lives
in a trailer in our driveway
in his small town to write
an album with you, girl.
You think the song
is about me?
She's a huge pop star,
I mean,
this song was probably written
a year ago by a team of adults.
Actually, it says right here
she wrote this in response
to rumours that Justin moved
to the country
and started seeing someone new.
Ugh, you can't believe
everything that you see on
the internet.
I have to fix this.
- Um, good luck.
The internet is literally
designed to withstand a nuclear
explosion.
I may not be able to fix
the whole thing.
But I can do what people
have done since the dawn of
dis-tracks.
Justin and I need to set
the record straight.
Through song.
When will everybody see ♪
We're just friends ♪
We can set on to the willow
tree ♪
without K-I-S-S-I-N-G ♪
We're just friends ♪
And then I was thinking that
the verses could be kind of like
a call and response type thing?
Yeah. That's fun. I dig it.
Okay, great! I figured
we could finish it up today,
record it here,
and then release it!
As kind of like a teaser track.
And a response to
my ex's song?
Oh, I
I hadn't thought of that.
- Uh huh. Look.
I don't think we should rush
into my first single
just because you're feeling
some type of way.
So, you don't think
that we should say anything?
It'll only add more fuel
to the fire.
They'll forget it in a week.
Besides, the idea that you
and I are dating,
that's not the worst rumour.
People say way worse things
about me on the internets.
And only half of it's true.
Alright Hobbie,
I've gotta bounce.
Wait, what else do people say
about you?
Not important. It's too wild
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 ♪
Gotta be the change ♪
And then our professor
told us that
there are millions of tons
of diamonds on Jupiter.
It literally rains diamonds
there! Should we go?
Do you need to go to sleep babe?
- Uh, it's getting pretty late.
- It's 8:30.
Yeah, but, I was up at 5:45
to unload a jar order.
And then, label machine got all,
you know when it um?
(snaps fingers)
- Jams?
I'm gonna miss our call tomorrow
for night class
and then again the next night
'cause of that party.
Are you sure you can't come?
I got client meetings
the next morning.
Wish I could. Really miss you.
- Aww. I miss you too.
Okay, you hang up.
- No, you hang up.
She hung up!
Oh, she's probably tired
of watching you
ageing before her eyes.
What was that supposed
to mean?
Well, you look a bit like
my buddies
down at the retirement home.
- Don't worry about it pal.
I'm proud of ya.
You're working hard
and you're getting
your sleep in.
Hey, you're just like me.
- You mean old?
I prefer vintage.
Speak for yourself.
I'm hitting the pool hall
and jamming with the boys
tonight.
Age is just a number.
Yeah! You're right grandpa.
Too bad yours is
already 77.
(laughter)
Alright, Amy is too busy
to meet with us.
So, I'm just going to run this
by you two, cool?
What do we think about this?
As a big surprise for
my presentation,
I FaceTime in Piper
from Paris?
Beaming in a jet setting.
Dream chasing girl
from a major European city?
They'll love it.
Yes.
So, Justin wouldn't do
anything about it?
He wouldn't address it at all?
Oh, uh, he said that we should
just try and let it pass.
Easy for him to say. Holly,
I got asked three times today
if you're breaking up
with me for him.
People will move on
to the next piece of gossip
in no time.
Until then, I'll just focus
on my presentation
and we can try
and tune it out, okay?
Yeah.
(phone vibrating)
Scratch that.
Andrea just texted
and said that I can't do
my speech at the studio anymore.
What? Why not?!
Holly's increasingly battered
reputation?
What are you talking about?
Some parents caught wind of
all the Justin stuff
and they thought that having
you talk to their kids
was no longer appropriate.
Apparently, cheaters aren't very
good role models.
But I'm not a cheater.
Nothing happened between us.
Anyways, good news,
now you have less homework.
Peace.
I don't understand why this
is happening.
I'm not 100 % sure, but do you
ever read Hollywood Spilt Tea ?
I'm guessing that's not
a website
for the various
Earl Greys and Pekoes?
It's my gossip bible.
They post blind items every day
about unnamed celebs,
but you can usually figure out
who they mean.
And they've said some pretty
bonkers things about Justin.
I suspect Amelia Garbenzo
wrote her song after reading
about this.
"This former teen star
has gone country.
But what's a cowboy without
a cowgirl?
He's been spotted in a tiny
Wisconsin town
with a mystery girl with
flowing locks,
a penchant for ice cream and
boots for walking."
And people just believe this
because it's written online?
Some of it, yeah. But some
of it is a bit more far-fetched.
Justin did mention that
there were a bunch of rumours
about him floating around.
What else does it say about
Justin?
So, what are we gonna do
with our afternoon?
There are infinite
possibilities. Anything
you'd imagine.
You guys going
to do something fun?
We're gonna smush stuff on
the railway. So long, army man.
Aw, fun. I used to do that
all the time when I was a kid.
No, wait, Mildred from
the corner store
paid for her order this morning
with a bag of coins.
Terrible for business
but it is perfect for this!
Okay, how about you leave
those in the truck.
And, also, you stay in
the truck?
Wait, what?
Look, I love you.
You know that?
- Yeah, sure.
- And you're always gonna be
my goofy brother.
Of course.
But, to my friends
you are an adult man.
Yeah, but like a,
like a cool adult man.
I don't think there's such
a thing.
You're a guy with a job now
Robbie,
I mean, this is literally
a company truck.
Like it or not,
you are a grown-up.
Well, I do not like it.
Sorry dude. There's nothing
that I can do to change that.
There's something that
I can do.
Thanks, hon.
Hey, Hols.
You wanna help dry dishes?
No thanks.
Oh, oh, maybe I should have
reworded that.
Why don't you dry the dishes or
I'm gonna take your phone
and I'm gonna dunk it
in the dish water.
- Oh!
- Yes. Of course. Sorry.
Ugh.
Do you guys think Justin really
abandoned his pet monkey?
What? Justin has a pet monkey?
Oh, I hear those things
are vicious.
I still don't think people
should be allowed
to set them free
at the amusement parks.
He did that? Where on earth
are you getting this stuff from?
Some internet gossip site.
They've got pictures and
everything.
- Holly, please.
- What?! It's been right
a bunch.
It predicted Beyonce's second
pregnancy and A-Rod and J-Lo's
break up.
Okay, that one was kind of
obvious. I mean, like, come on.
There's no good way to put their
names together.
What else does it say
about Justin?
Um, that he charged 100 bucks
for a meet and greet
and then never showed.
- Hmm.
That he never wears
the same pair of socks twice.
You know what?
I've never actually seen socks
in his laundry.
- Hmm. Weird.
- Huh.
Wait, this one says
that the real reason he's
in Collinsville
is because he's trying
to get away from some people
who are really mad at him.
- What?
Something about
how he stormed off set
and trashed some producer's
office on This Just In.
Oh, honey, it's just
internet gossip.
No, no. It even quotes a
source saying
that he's a close person
friend of Justin's.
Ugh. I mean,
what if it's actually true?
We only knew the guy for
one night before he came here.
What if he's really a bad guy?
No, no, no. We talked
to him before he came here
and he was nothing but polite.
No, but you know, he's been
acting really strange recently.
Like, sneaking off and
not telling me where he's going.
Ugh. I wish I knew how to know
what was actually true.
You know, you kids and your
texting and your twooting.
Why don't you try something
old-fashioned and ask him?
Absolutely.
And, in the meantime,
stop looking at those sites.
They will fry your brain.
(calming music)
(mooing)
Justin!
(knocking)
(soft neighing)
Justin!
(knocking)
Justin?
Okay.
(unzipping)
Socks?
(sighs)
Does this sound like Justin?
This junior bad boy left a party
early Friday
taking a custom swan ice
sculpture with him.
If I say yes can we start
this movie?!
Ugh! Holly, I wish they just
let you give this stupid
presentation.
Russel talking about performance
art in Spokane
is not nearly as inspiring
as they hoped.
I mean, it inspired me
to never do performance art.
How do you think I feel?
I'm not even sure why Justin's
here anymore.
She's still going down
that spiral?
It's like a bottomless pit.
You talked to the guy
in Nashville.
He's here to write songs with
you. Mystery solved.
Do I get a cookie?
- So, you guys really think
that there is no chance
that he's here running from
his producers?
(together): No!
- Certainly there's a chance.
Not helpful, Claudia.
Anything is possible.
The world is vast, Heather.
If it were true,
why would he come here?
Exactly!
It's small.
Really far away from California.
And a great place to build
a secret underground bunker!
You haven't read that stuff?
Come on! It's all over
the forums.
The forums?
Everyone's talking about it.
This is supposed to be
down in that ravine behind
the pickle factory.
They say it dates back
to the Cold War
and Justin's here
so he can renovate it
and then hide out in there.
Are you two like listening
to yourselves?
I mean, we haven't actually
finished very many songs.
He's always running off
somewhere.
Yeah, to be
with a small-town girl.
Okay. What's more believable?
That Justin,
a famous person,
came all the way here
to Collinsville to write
an album with me,
a person who's never really
done that before?
Or he's here because he's
running from something?! Hiding!
Okay, what if we just
go to this bunker tomorrow.
And if we don't find
anything then we can drop
this whole thing.
All of it.
- Hmm.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
(engine idling)
- Is that your stomach?
- Uh, nope.
But I am getting kind of hungry.
Maybe we should take a break.
(grunts)
What is that?!
- Whoa!
- No!
She's beautiful!
You don't like her?
That thing?
No, that is dangerous.
Robbie, you don't need
a motorbike.
Oh come on. I took a lesson,
I got my licence,
got the sweet jacket,
this helmet, I'm good!
Look, sweetie. Um
you run a business now and
what happens if you get hurt?
What is the point
of the business if I can't
do anything fun?
I have to live a little, right?
Yeah, I'm worried
the motorcycle will lead
to the exact opposite of that.
Okay. I'm going for a ride.
(keys jingle)
So, you didn't feel the need
to chime in there at all?
Well, I was worried
that I would undermine your
very clear message.
- Hmm.
- Um.
I mean, yes, of course he will
let you ride it.
- Sweet.
- But no.
You will absolutely not.
But!
Okay. Let me get
this straight.
So, we're out here risking
poison ivy to prove that
Justin Lewis is not building
a secret bunker
to hide out from powerful
Hollywood elites.
Okay, well, I mean, you make
it sound a little crazy
when you say it like that.
But, is there a different way
to say it, like?
Well, hopefully we just prove
it all wrong. Huh.
You know, I saw a couple black
SUVs in town the other day.
- What if they're already here?
- Who?
The bad guys.
Should we warn Justin?
Warn him that black
is by far the most popular
colour for cars?
It's also the most
popular colour for bad guys'
cars in movies.
- Don't forget helicopters.
- Good point.
But nobody actually
saw any helicopters, right?
Okay, how much further?
I'm seriously getting hangry.
I mean, I'm pretty sure
it should be right here
somewhere, so.
I feel better.
(sighs)
Um, guys.
That's just a coincidence, right?
No, no, no, no.
That's the door.
Here look, I'll show you.
Ugh, I don't have any service.
- Me neither.
- Is that a helicopter?
(propeller whirling)
We have to get out of here.
Go.
(indistinct chatter)
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
Excuse me.
Hey, uh, you lost bud?
Uh, no, I'm actually just
looking for someone.
Robbie?
Was that you on the motorcycle?
- I wanted to surprise you.
- Definitely surprised.
A motorcycle?
- Yeah.
We can talk on the phone ♪
About our favourite songs ♪
Oh no ♪
Why though? ♪
If they see us alone
they'll get it all wrong ♪
No way ♪
Yes they will ♪
Can we walk down the street? ♪
Good luck with that ♪
The world is like paparazzi ♪
Pretty dope, right?
No?
Ugh. I'm sorry. I have to ask.
Why are you here
in Collinsville? Really?
- What do you mean?
- I don't know.
You seem distracted.
You're always running off.
I've been a bit preoccupied
lately.
But I really thought
I brought it on this verse,
you don't like it?
- Are you in danger?
- Am I in danger?
From who?
I don't know,
Hollywood people?
Oh boy.
You're starting to sound like
all the weirdos on the internet.
So there's, there's no truth
in any of that?
You'll have to be more
specific.
The pet monkey?
Trashing your boss' office?
The secret bunker?
The socks?
Wow! You're in deep.
You do have all those
socks though.
Did you go through my things?
Oh, um, I went to go talk
to you
and the door was open and
I accidentally knocked over
your suitcase--
Ignoring the fact
that's a massive invasion
of my privacy,
here's the deal.
One time I posted about
liking this brand of socks
and now they send me crates
of them.
Wouldn't it be easier
to tell people the truth?
You think it would be easier
to address every little thing?
The only way to get through it
is to ignore it.
And surround myself with people
who know I'm a good person
and would never believe those
things about me.
So, no.
Never had a monkey.
Our show ended really nicely,
I'm still buzz with
a lot of the producers.
And this whole bunker thing
is brand new to me.
But let me know when
you sort out what you believe.
Because I believe that
this song can be really great
and I'd love to get back to it.
(classical music)
And then I realized that
she was sweaty
because her locker was
super far away from homeroom
and she had to sprint
all the way across the school.
So, I let her use my locker.
And we've been together
ever since.
I mean, to be fair,
he only let me use the bottom
of the locker.
Hey, that is still
super romantic for eighth grade.
Wait. You two are in
the same grade?
Yeah. I think we're all
the same age, right?
I just meant from
what Lila told us about you,
it seemed like you were
quite a bit older than us.
Right. Uh
Oh, look at that. 5 pm.
Dinner time for an old guy
like me.
I'm just gonna go check out
those appetizers.
I'll be right back.
(indistinct chatter)
What's wrong?
- Well, for starters,
this jam is terrible.
You didn't come all this way
to scope out the jam competition
did you?
No, I wanted to surprise you.
Well, I'm definitely
surprised.
You hate it.
No, it's just not very
you babe.
Yeah, yeah, cause
I'm just some old grandpa
who can't even stay awake
long enough to talk to his
girlfriend.
Well, you heard
what he said over there.
He totally thinks I'm some
grown-up.
- You say that
like it's a curse word.
- Well, isn't it?
No. That guy wants to go
to business school
and you already own
a business.
I like that you're a grown-up.
That you're responsible,
and ambitious and if that means
you fall asleep
when we're FaceTiming
sometimes,
I like that too.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Sorry for freaking out.
Look, I gotta wake up early
tomorrow so I should probably
hit the road.
Oh, no, there's no way
I'm letting you ride that home.
There's a bus back to town
at 10?
Oh thank heavens, I thought
I was gonna die on the way here.
Whew! So, should we get back
to the party?
We don't need to try to keep
up with those whipper snappers.
Ugh. Aww.
How could I be so dumb?
I have to make it up to him.
Ugh. You're not dumb, Holly.
You were just curious.
So were lots of people.
- Curiosity killed the cat,
Oscar.
And now, potentially,
my music career.
It was a compelling story.
And you have to admit
that part about the secret door,
that was pretty cool to think
about.
And also an urban legend
for decades.
My dad said that when
Madonna came and played at
the county fair,
people made up the exact
same rumour about her and
that door.
It's a sewer access entrance!
There's a rational explanation
for everything.
Ugh, I know.
I just got a bit turned around.
But still,
how do I prove to Justin
that I do think he's a good guy?
Maybe start by telling him?
And everybody loves a little
apology gift.
(crunchy chewing)
(grill searing)
Whew!
Uh
did your bike shrink?
Yeah, the motorcycle
was a bit too much for me.
Oh.
Ah, you finally accepted that
you're an old man.
You know what? I have.
I sold the bike and
I used the money to buy
this for Lila.
(joyful music)
Wow! Robbie, that's a
that's a really big decision.
When you know who you want
to grow old with,
it doesn't feel
like getting old at all.
- It's beautiful.
- She's gonna love it.
Ah!
Okay. My mom said
that she saw Justin downtown.
Ugh, are you sure he's gonna
like these shoes?
I mean, the fact that they were
at a Collinsville vintage shop
makes me worry that they're not
Hollywood enough for him.
They're Gucci slides.
If he doesn't accept them,
I'm burning all my
This Just In box sets,
except season four.
That one is pure art.
Wait, wait, wait.
There's Justin.
Oh, he's with someone.
Must be a small town girl.
See?
There really is a rational
explanation for everything.
(laughter)
We all saw that right?
(pop music)
