Holly Hobbie (2018) s04e08 Episode Script

Winning isn't everything.
It's how you play the game.
But isn't the point
of a game to win?
(upbeat dance music)
(exhales)
Hmm.
(exclamation of discontent)
What?! No way! We are going
to own the teams at competition.
Ah. Well, I applaud
your confidence,
you're nowhere close to ready.
Well, we've been practicing
every day.
(clears throat)
(upbeat pop music)
OK. But this is one of the
teams in the division above us.
No, I'm showing you
because this is one of the teams
you'll be competing against.
- Did you see that turn?
- I saw it.
- Is that a triple pirouette?
- We're doomed.
Perhaps we should
just withdraw.
Because of a stupid
triple pirouette?
OK, what's so great about
turning around three times
instead of one?
Well, it can win you
a giant trophy.
- Hmm.
- Is that true?
Do I have to do that
for us to win?
Yeah. Probably.
Then why didn't you
just say so?
OK everybody.
Let's go back to work.
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 ♪
(whispering)
One, two, three, four,
five, six.
(grunting)
- You OK?
I'm fine.
I just can't get
from the second pirouette
into the split fast enough.
I don't know why you need
two pirouettes anyway?
One seems plenty to me.
- Because the other team
can do three. And if
I can't nail this double
then we're definitely
gonna lose.
If there's one thing
I know about you,
you don't like losing.
- Who likes losing?
Maybe you should have some
lunch. It's ham and cheese.
Can you just put it
over there,
I wanna get a couple
more tries in?
Honey, you've been at it
all morning,
I think that you
should refuel.
I just, I really need
to nail this
if we have any hope of winning.
Heather, you are
on a dance team,
so it's not all on you.
OK, would you say that
to LeBron?
I mean, you have
to sacrifice to win.
Patrick Mahomes only eats
egg whites
for like three days
before every game.
- Is that true?
- Ugh. I don't know.
You see what
I'm getting at though?
I still think that you should
have some lunch.
Dad, can you just make sure
that I'm not migrating
across the floor this time?
- Yeah, yeah.
You can go for miles
when you put on a big smile ♪
When you put on a big smile ♪
Don't forget your big smile ♪
Another bop.
Hobbie, you're a machine.
I'm glad that you liked
the song but,
I was also wondering,
do you connect with the theme
of the song?
You know, like, presenting
one version of yourself
to the people in your life
when there's actually
something else going on
underneath,
and, you know, keeping secrets
from the people
you care about the most?
Sure. I mean, doesn't everyone
do that sometimes?
Right. What about you, Amy?
Same answer.
And what about the whole
secret romance angle?
I mean, doesn't it seem
a bit far-fetched to you
that someone would
be dating someone and not tell
their best friend?
Oh. Um, I don't know.
I mean, like I'm sure
it's happened in like
the whole history of humanity.
Cool. Thanks
for your feedback.
I just wanted to make sure
that my songs feel
emotionally authentic.
Should we go back to the house
and make some nachos?
Ugh! That sounds awesome,
but I actually have plans.
Yeah. Me too actually.
You both have plans?
- Seems like.
- Um, what are you doing?
I mean, I'm just curious.
I promised my mom
I'd FaceTime her.
Yeah. And I have to study.
For a test.
Algebra. You're not
in that class.
Better hop to it.
Me too.
(upbeat dance music)
Wow! Good job.
And nice work
on those turns, Heather.
Yeah, those turns
were next level.
Truly impressive.
So, are we good enough
to win yet?
Almost. We have
to tighten up those transitions,
but it's close.
And now, as your reward
Are those boxes
full of snacks?
Even better.
The costumes arrived!
(gasps)
Why can't it just stay there?!
(chuckling)
- Leave me alone!
- Ow! What is happening?!
Ow, ow! Stop!
Heather, Heather!
- Heather's not here.
- Mom and Dad are gonna be
really mad if you break
my foot, please!
Ugh. I'm sorry. OK? It's just
(laughter)
- Put your foot back in the door
so I can break it
for real this time.
I am sorry, really.
It doesn't look that bad.
You can't even say that
with a straight face.
- OK, so, it is--
- A bathing suit.
How am I supposed
to dance in this?
On stage, in front of like a
thousand people!
When Lila used
to dance competitively,
she'd have to wear all kinds
of bonkers costumes.
She did look pretty cute
in them though.
What does it matter
what we look like at all, OK?
Isn't the competition
about how well we dance?
I'm sure you're not the only
one who feels like this.
Just talk to the rest
of your team.
And then what?
There's strength
in numbers, Heather.
If you present Andrea
with a united front,
I'm sure she won't
make you wear them.
You're right, the whole team
can't be happy about this.
Glad I could help.
I just can't believe you
actually put it on.
Goodbye, Robbie!
Hey honey.
You wanna talk about it?
- Nope.
- OK.
I think Amy and Justin
are dating.
Oh. You know what,
that's really nice.
Pop star persona,
he seems like a great kid.
Yeah, yeah he's a great guy.
And Amy's the best person
in the world.
Then why are you
stress snacking?
Because they're keeping it
a secret from me.
Well, how do you even know
that they're seeing each other?
Because, there are vibes, OK?
And I saw them hanging out
together. And Amy never told me!
Whoa. You are gonna need
something stronger.
Oh!
I just don't understand
why she would feel the need
to keep this a secret from me?
Maybe she's just not ready
to talk about it?
She's my best friend.
The idea that she feels
like she can't talk to me
about something like that?
It's a pretty bad feeling.
And, you know, you do get
really bad FOMO.
OK, fine. But I think it is a
perfectly normal human reaction.
- Oh, I never said otherwise.
- I just need to figure out
where she'll be most
comfortable to open up.
Or, honey, maybe
you just need to let her
tell you in her own time.
Where do you tell
all your secrets?
Uh, um.
Slumber party?! Oh,
that's perfect! A slumber party!
What better than
an intimate night
with your best friend
to really--
Wrestle their secrets
out of them?
Yeah!
I'm going to need these,
and these and I'm going to need
to steal those from you.
What better
than delicious snacks
to make you
spill the beans? Muah!
Oh.
(knocking)
- Oh, yay, you're here!
Oh, hi, Savannah.
Did you not tell her
I was coming?
Don't worry about Holly,
she's very "go with the flow".
I figured the more the merrier.
Hope that's OK.
Actually, I was kind
of hoping that we could talk.
Just the two of us.
I can go. Really,
I don't want to intrude.
- OK. Well, um.
- No. Stay.
It's gonna be awesome.
Everyone should get
the opportunity to experience
a Holly Hobbie sleepover
at least once in their lives.
You and I can talk whenever.
OK. Yeah, stay.
It'll be great.
Yay! Holly,
that onesie is amazing!
Thanks, I actually got one
for you too Amy.
Aw. Thanks.
- Sorry Savannah.
- It's OK.
Great! Well,
what should we start with?
Face masks, pedicures?
We could always watch a movie.
Classic sleepover activity.
That's just us staring
at a screen.
How about karaoke?
I think Amy and I should do
"I Know Him So Well" from Chess.
I know, what's a slumber party
without an old-fashioned game
of truth or dare? Hmm?
Oh, come on, it'll be fun.
(upbeat dance music)
Sorry.
OK, OK. Take five everyone.
Heather. Is there a problem?
You've been off all rehearsal.
It's the costumes.
I hate them.
- Oh.
- They're so uncomfortable.
And why are they so small?
It's for competition.
It's what we have to do to win.
Are you honestly telling me
that if we don't wear
skimpy costumes
we're not gonna win?
It's a dance competition,
shouldn't it be about
the dancing?
It is, but the costumes
are form fitting
so the judges can see
the lines of your body.
It's so they can judge
your technique.
And if it's about lines,
shouldn't he have
to wear one too?
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
- This is so stupid.
- Heather.
No, you shouldn't assume
what someone does
or doesn't want to wear
just based on their gender.
Well, if you don't want people
to see you wearing this,
then I can put you
in the back row.
Allow me to appeal
to your competitive nature.
You want to win, don't you?
- Of course I do.
You, me, all of us,
we worked really hard for this.
So, let's just put our heads
down and win this thing.
OK. From the top.
- Savannah, truth or dare.
- Truth.
OK. Are you currently or,
have you ever,
been in a super
secret romance?
Um. I'm not even engaged
in any non-secret romances.
My life is unbearably dull.
Oh, OK. Amy, your turn.
Truth or dare?
- Dare.
- What? Seriously?
No one picks dare.
Amy Abassi, you continue
to surprise me.
Yeah, it's like I don't even
know you at all.
Just trying to mix things up.
So, what's it gonna be?
OK, OK. I dare you
to put a chicken
in Justin's Airstream.
- What?
- Mm-hmm.
No. Can I literally
do anything else?
Nope. You chose dare.
You live with the dare.
Come on, I'll do it with you.
- OK.
- Come on.
I think I'll stay here
with the gummy worms.
Chickens tend to freak me out.
Don't say a word!
I was just coming to see
if you were ready because Dad's
packing up the car.
Am I ready to die
of embarrassment at the thought
of people seeing me in this?
Yes. Absolutely.
I mean, it is a bit extra.
I mean, did I use that right?
Yes. You did. Congratulations.
Did you, did you talk
to the team?
Yeah.
They're all fine with it.
And Andrea keeps saying that,
"Oh, it's part of what you have
to do to win and then everybody
wears stuff like this."
You know, when I was going
to law school,
I worked at this seafood
restaurant.
And they made all
the waitresses wear
this really humiliating
sailor suit.
Please tell me
you have pictures.
Oh no, no, no, no.
They are destroyed.
Don't even ask.
But they had us wearing
these really tight tops
and these really short shorts.
And then all the busboys?
They just got to wear their
regular clothes.
Yeah, Levi gets to wear
this like baller,
silver track suit.
It's so unfair!
I know. And so, I went,
and I talked to management,
and they I mean
they basically said,
"Well, if you don't like it,
you can quit."
- Did you?
- No.
I mean, I had to pay the bills.
And that was
the hardest part, you know.
Because then my boss,
he had all the power,
because I was young
and I needed the money.
And I felt like I couldn't
stand up for myself
without losing my job.
- That must have felt terrible.
- Yeah. It really did.
At least I got
free lobster rolls.
But you, honey,
you're dancing for fun.
- And to win.
- Of course.
But you don't have to.
You see, you have the power.
If you don't want to go
out there on stage wearing that,
you don't have to.
So, what? I just quit?
Yeah. And your Dad and I,
we will totally support you.
I don't think I can do that.
I mean, I'd be letting
everyone down.
And we've all worked very hard.
And I really wanna win.
I get it. And I respect it.
(man): Heather!
We gotta get going
or we're gonna hit traffic!
Do all Dads
come pre-programmed
with that sentence?
Yeah.
So, what do you want me
to do?
Clear off a space
on the mantle,
because I am bringing home
a real big trophy.
You got it, kiddo.
(clucking)
Are you sure
Justin's not in there?
Yeah, completely.
And Savannah's keeping
watch from the window.
What if the chicken
does a lot of damage?
I'm sure Justin has a lot of
expensive stuff in there.
Petunia is a gentle soul, OK?
All you have to do
is toss her in.
Ugh, I can't do
any other dare?
Nope. It's the sacred rules
of the game.
Original dare must stand.
And you wouldn't have gotten
this stupid dare
in the first place
if you would have just picked
truth like you were supposed to.
The game is called Truth
or Dare, dare is an option.
Yeah, an option
no one ever picks.
And the only reason
we're playing this game
in the first place
is because you're too chicken
to tell me about you and Justin.
So there is something going on.
- Maybe. I don't know.
- Why didn't you tell me?
Because I don't know
if there's anything to tell.
Well, if there's something
to not tell,
then there's something
to tell, you know?
OK, we've been hanging out.
But I didn't want to make
a whole thing out of it.
Well, do you like him?
I don't not like him.
But I just didn't want
to make you upset.
- What? Why?
- Because.
Justin's here to work with you.
It just felt weird.
I never want you to feel like
you can't talk to me.
OK. Well, maybe just
ask me next time
instead of trying to trick me
with a bunch of weird games.
OK. Deal.
So, about this dare.
Oh, yeah. Um
Let's just go eat
some snacks instead.
- Yeah.
- OK.
All the dancers here
are amazing.
Yeah, well, we're amazing too.
And after we win this thing,
we should celebrate with a dip
in the hotel pool.
After the
all-you-can-eat buffet.
I heard there's a chocolate
fountain too.
Oh, that's a great idea.
But first, I should
sign you in, yeah.
You, go do that you.
OK, be honest.
Don't you guys think
it's just like a little bit
weird that we're expected
to compete in these things?
Well, not all of us.
Just remember
what Andrea said.
It's what the judges
are expecting.
Yeah, but look at those girls,
they're like six years old.
It is alarming to see
small children wearing
so much make-up.
Who says it has to be
this way though?
I mean, there's no law
that says that girls
in dance competitions
have to wear all of this stuff.
I guess I've always seen the
older kids wearing this stuff.
Because you thought
that was your only option.
Just like those little girls
are looking at us right now
and thinking the same thing.
But what about winning?
You know I love to win.
And I really wanna
kick butt dancing,
but I just can't do it in this.
Then, I don't think
you should have to wear it.
Me neither. But what else do
we have to wear?
- You've got a scheme don't you?
- It's a good one, I promise.
Come on, you always say that.
(dance music)
Here we go.
Where are your costumes?
These are our costumes.
I assume this was your doing?
I started the conversation.
But the whole team
is in agreement.
We don't think that anyone
should have to wear something
that makes them
feel uncomfortable.
Especially when they're doing
something that's supposed
to make them feel happy.
And, even if it means losing,
we're showing the next group of
kids that it's OK just to dance.
You don't have to do all
that extra stuff.
This is way more important
than winning.
And this is really
a team decision?
If this really is a dance
competition then it shouldn't
matter what we wear.
(cheering)
(announcer): Coming up next, the
Collinsville Shooting Stars.
OK. Go ahead.
Kill it and have fun.
For real?
Don't lose your nerve now
sweatpants.
Come on. We got this.
We all got this. Let's go.
(cheering)
(upbeat dance music)
(crowd cheering)
(applause)
(soft music)
I know. The bridge needs work.
But I'm really liking
the vibe of this one.
Is this song about Amy?
Yeah. Actually, it is.
Aw. Fair enough.
She does have amazing eyes.
- You're mad.
- No! Why would I be mad?
Because she's your
best friend.
And you're my
creative collaborator.
But you better not be
messing with her, OK,
because this is the first time
she's ever hung out
with anyone like this.
Remember, I know where you live.
(chuckling)
Um.
Hi.
- You're here.
Yup. That's me. I'm here.
Here I am.
We're just about finished.
You want to grab
something to eat?
Oh, it's OK.
We don't have to.
Come on! You're not
gonna let me take my girlfriend
out for lunch?
OK.
Cool. That'd be nice.
- Let's go.
- Oh, you mean right, right now?
- I mean right now.
- Uh-huh.
- Let's go.
(crowd cheering)
Hey, hey, hey! Third place!
It's nothing to sneeze at.
And the only points they
deducted were for costuming
and presentation.
Solid scores across the board
for technical and artistic.
I am so proud of you.
I was thinking, moving forward,
we can all pick the costumes
as a team.
Maybe we should start
a costume revolution?
Hey I thought you didn't want
to win that stupid trophy.
You know, we won this one
by standing up for something
really important.
And I'll always remember that
when I look at this.
OK, OK. Team photo time.
Let's go.
Alright, everyone get together.
And three, two, one, cheese!
(camera shutters)
Winning isn't everything
but it is awesome.
