Holly Hobbie (2018) s04e09 Episode Script

I've got a riddle for you.
Two people want the same thing
but there's only
one of them left.
If it's a bagel,
you just split it in half.
But how do you split a boy?
Like seriously, how?
(laughing)
There is absolutely no way
the Earth would
get knocked off its axis
by a giant magnetic glove.
Yeah, I seriously
do not understand
the appeal of superhero movies.
Yeah, I'm more
of an indie guy myself.
You continue to surprise me,
Justin Lewis.
Speaking of surprises
A one month-a-versary gift.
Well, open it!
(laughing)
- Okay!
Oh wow, it's a piece of
a Campo del Cielo meteorite.
Amy, you're truly
out of this world.
Which is why I would be
honoured if you came with me
to New Mexico
to watch the Gandilo Comet.
Seriously?
Um, can you decode?
It's an extrasolar
spacial body
that's been passing through
our solar system
for the past few weeks.
But over the next few days,
it'll be close enough
to Earth that we can see it
with the naked eye.
But you have to see it
from New Mexico?
The sand dunes south-east
of Albuquerque
are the ideal place.
Wait
you wanna go to New Mexico?
(laughing)
What's so funny?
Oh, it's a very thoughtful
idea but--
Amy's mom is cool,
but not "let Amy go
to New Mexico with a boy" cool.
- Can you imagine?
- No!
Bring Holly.
I'm gonna rent out
a private plane.
So there'll be plenty of room.
Oh, my parents definitely
would not let me go
without an adult.
- Bring them too!
Isn't this a little crazy?
Crazy awesome!
And from a mathematical
standpoint,
this is a once
in a lifetime opportunity.
Okay. Everyone pack a bag!
(laughing)
I'll start working
on the parentals and
Sorry, can someone please
explain the whole
comet thing to me again?
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

We are brave,
lead the way ♪

Be the change ♪
Gotta be the change ♪
(country music)
Taste this. It might need more
acid, maybe more salt? Hmm?
Would you just stop worrying?
It's perfect.
There's a bit
of a line forming.
- Really?
- Yup.
Well, are you surprised?
That your barbecue is legendary.
Listen, there are people
in that line
that will be writing reviews
that will determine
whether we turn this
into a full-scale restaurant.
So, maybe we should
open tomorrow.
Hey! Hey, hey, hey.
Look at me.
Your food, it's ready.
You are ready.
Now we just need to let people
come in and decide
for themselves.
Robbie, open the door.
(phone vibrating)
Hello?
Oh, wow. Uh, Mr. Shaw.
Yes, Justin's told me
all about his wonderful manager.
I'm sorry, I don't
quite understand.
Justin and I have recorded
at least half a dozen demos.
You're saying he hasn't
sent any of them?
No, I'm just confused
because he said that he
You know what,
maybe I misunderstood.
I'm sure that there's
an explanation.
Justin?
He's fine. Yeah, he's fine.
Yes, of course,
we're taking this seriously.
What about tomorrow morning?
Thank you so much for calling.
All packed up
for tomorrow, Hobbie?
Not yet. Um
Hey, have you gotten
any feedback from the label
on our latest songs?
- Oh, yeah.
They're totally loving them.
That's weird.
I just got a call
from your manager.
- You did?
- Mm-hmm.
Said he hasn't received
any of our demos
to flip to the label.
Right! Right.
I meant to say
they're going to love them.
I was going to send them,
it just slipped my mind.
And be sure to pack a sweater.
It gets really cold at night
on the sand dunes.
We can't go to New Mexico,
Justin, okay?
Mr. Shaw called
and he said that he wants
to hear more songs so
I arranged a meeting
for tomorrow.
You did what?!
No, we can't send them
any songs, they're not ready.
I thought you said
you forgot to send them.
Why would you lie
to me about this?
Once people hear the songs,
that's it.
They're out in the world.
- Okay.
Then we can spend the morning
doing one last listen
and making
any final adjustments.
Okay. I guess we have
to tell everyone
the trip's cancelled now.
(sighing)
Mm.
Mm, mm, mm!
Any reviews yet?
- No, no. Nothing yet.
(sighing)
Whew! What's the holdup?
What takes longer to write?
A good review or a bad review?
- The review isn't up yet!
- Don't remind him.
How long could it possibly
take to write history's most
glowing restaurant review?
See? He gets it.
(phone chiming)
Ah, what's that?
Is that the review?
Is it up?
Why would my phone beep?
No, this is work.
Sorry, I do have to run.
But honey, your barbecue,
it's legendary, right?
And I am sure that that reviewer
is just coming up
with some more synonyms
for "mind-blowing".
Mm, synonyms.
- See you in a bit.
- Yep.
Ugh!
Thank goodness
for your mother.
(mischievous music)
- What happened?
- Your mother lied to me.
That's what happened.
(sighing)
Holly.
Where are your parents?
(chuckling)
I can't believe
he didn't tell you.
Tell me what?
Justin.
Where's the limo?
Um
(Justin coughing)
What Justin is trying to say
is that we have
to cancel the trip.
What? Why?
Because this really important
music deadline
popped up last minute.
I'm so, so sorry
about this, Ames.
You know, maybe, maybe we can
try again next weekend.
Comet's only visible tonight
and tomorrow.
You guys have been
working on music for weeks.
What's so important
that you can't wait 24 hours?!
I'll talk to her.
Okay.
Meet me in the studio.
Why would your mother
throw out all the barbecue?
She loves ribs.
- Well, maybe she wasn't hungry.
Yeah, but why get rid
of the evidence?
Why not keep it for leftovers?
Okay, I'm sure
there's a perfectly good reason.
Reason for what? Oh.
Oh, busted.
Oh, um, I can explain.
You love my barbecue.
I didn't feel like it today.
Why? Was something
wrong with it?
It just tasted a little off.
I've lost my barbecue mojo.
There's no way we can
open this restaurant now,
we have to cancel everything.
- No, no, no, no. Whoa, whoa.
Take a deep breathe, okay?
That's not it.
I have to run to a meeting,
but let's talk about this later.
- Ugh.
- Dad, you cannot give up, okay?
This is your dream.
- You heard the woman,
my barbecue is bad now.
I've lost the magic touch.
Not possible.
Okay, we're gonna try
every type of meat,
every style, every sauce combo,
heat level, moisture rating,
and flavour profile
until you find one
that Mom likes,
and you believe
in yourself again.
(sighing)
That is a huge amount of work.
Uh-huh.
Better get started.
(guitar tuning)
(birds chirping)
(sighing)
- Justin speaking.
- Justin, hey! W--
Nah, I'm kidding.
This is Justin's voicemail.
Leave one.
Hey! I, uh
thought we were gonna
work after you talked to Amy.
You're the one who wanted
to go over the songs
before the meetings,
so just call me back,
or respond to my texts,
or just
show up when you say
you're going to.
(airplane taking off)
(indistinct PA announcement)
Holly again?
(scoffing)
- Yeah.
She'll just try
to talk us out of going.
Look, she just gets
worked up sometimes,
but her heart's
in the right place.
You really are the best girl.
(airplane roaring)
I really need this right now.
Are you okay?
I've given up so much
for my career.
Sometimes I feel
like I'm drowning.
But being in this town,
meeting you,
I'm seeing what
my life could have been like.
And it's nice.
I just want to be able to have
this experience with you.
I can't say I relate
to the pitfalls of stardom.
But being under pressure?
I know what that feels like.
(phone vibrating)
- Good.
Um
I should take this.
She'll understand
once I explain.
Hey, Holly.
Hey, Amy! Do you know
where Justin is?
We're at the airport.
I'm sorry,
did you just say airport?
As in the place where planes
for New Mexico leave from?
Amy, this isn't like you!
- I know. I know.
But scientifically speaking,
what are we basing that on?
It's not like I've ever
been in this situation before.
So, based on the available data,
maybe this is exactly like me.
And your mom
is okay with this?
I, um
never told her
that the trip was cancelled,
so she still thinks
we're all going together.
So, if she happens to call you,
just tell her you're with me.
Y-You want me to lie?
Not lie. Just cover.
These are some very fine hairs
that you're splitting.
Okay, why shouldn't
I get to do the impulsive
romantic thing just once?
Because Justin and I
have a meeting!
Today!
Okay, but there's always
some high stakes,
most important
music thing ever.
Can you just cover for him?
Are you sure
that this is what you want?
It can get you
in a lot of trouble.
I know.
But seeing the Gandilo Comet?
This is a once
in a lifetime thing.
Plus, Justin will get a break
and come back refreshed.
Can you please cover
for me just this once?
Okay. I'll cover.
But against my better judgment.
Thank you.
Oh, boy. What is all this?
Dad is trying to get
his barbecue mojo back.
Oh. You know what,
can we chat?
- Try it. For me.
- Less talking, more eating.
Ugh
Wow.
Mmm
- What do you think?
Good.
You're lying.
Just tell me the truth.
Do you like it?
Uh, I
You don't. But why?
You know, I'm just
I'm just not hungry.
(sighing)
You know, maybe you're sick.
That can mess
with your taste buds.
And you've been feeling
really tired lately.
- I guess.
- Then what is it?
You know what? I don't know.
But who cares really,
because everyone else loves it.
You're my partner!
(scoffing)
How can I open a restaurant
if you don't like my food?
(sighing)
I'm gonna go get some air.
Thank you so much
for helping me set up
for this meeting.
I still can't believe
they just took off like that.
I mean, what if something
happens to them?
Holls, Amy is smart
and Justin is rich.
With those two traits,
they can solve like any problem.
Besides, I think you're worrying
about the wrong thing here.
Right.
(sighing)
This meeting. Okay.
Focus, Holly.
I guess I'll just
tell him that Justin's sick?
Works with getting out
of an algebra test.
That means I'm back to lying.
So, what are you gonna do?
Right now, finish setting up
for this show and tell.
And then
(door opening)
Dad! The review is up!
They said it was the best
barbecue outside of Memphis.
Wait, why are you
packing everything up?
I think the pop-up
was a one-and-done kind of deal.
Dad, but the review!
Wait, is this because
Mom doesn't like
your barbecue anymore?
- I just wished she told me
instead of burying the evidence.
Listen, if she doesn't believe
in what I'm doing here,
maybe it's not such a hot idea.
Maybe you just had
a bad barbecue day, okay?
Eh, maybe even LeBron
has off days, right?
Not really, but I see
what you're getting at.
Or maybe she saw how much
you loved making it
and how much we loved eating it,
and she didn't want
to rob the world
of your gift just because
her taste buds are busted.
(laughing)
How'd you get to be so smart?
Maybe the real secret
ingredient in your mango
habanero wings
is wisdom.
Speaking of which,
you got any of those bad boys
left over from the pop-up?
- You bet I do.
- Yes!
For the boys ♪
For the boys, yeah ♪
Don't tell me
how to play my guitar ♪
I think the label's
gonna love this.
But where's Justin?
Oh. Don't worry,
this is definitely a duet.
I actually have a great demo
of the both of us singing it
if you want.
I mean, where's Justin
right now?
I thought he'd be
in this meeting.
He was up super late working.
So, um, he's just
catching up on some sleep.
(sighing)
You don't have
to cover for him.
What?! I-I'm not. I--
I can't believe he's pulling
this garbage again.
- Again?
- Look
Sometimes the pressure just
gets to him and he just bails.
He starts acting erratically,
then just takes off.
Um
Where does he go?
- Wherever he wants.
When things didn't go well
in Nashville,
he just hopped on
the next plane
and he was
in New York for a while,
and then by the time
we found him he was in Thailand.
Thailand?
Look, I don't want to put
this pressure on you, okay?
It's not your responsibility,
but the label's
put a lot of resources
into this album.
Yes, I-I understand.
And I'm really proud of the work
that we've been doing.
I'm happy to hear it,
but Justin's running
out of chances.
I'll try to track him down,
but if you hear from him first,
tell him to get it together.
Or else the label's
gonna pull the plug.
Um, yes. I understand.
Take care.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Sorry for losing my temper.
Listen.
Do you think
I've lost my touch?
Oh, no! Not at all.
Well, you've always
loved my food,
so if you think that I have,
you need to tell me.
- No, it's not that.
- Robbie thinks that you're just
protecting my feelings,
which is really nice.
But we're opening a restaurant
and that's a huge risk. So
I'm pregnant.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm just
as shocked as you are.
- But we're so--
- Old?
I was gonna say tired,
but that works too.
I don't need a newborn.
The night feedings
and the sleep regression.
Those little smiles
that actually turn out
to be gas. Oh!
(laughing)
Those little sleepers.
And that baby head smell.
This is amazing.
- You're excited?
- Yes!
I'm also relieved,
because you hate meat
in your first trimester,
which means you
love my barbecue!
See, you just give me
a couple of weeks and I'm back.
Why didn't you
just tell me all
of this instead
of tossing out my meat?
Well, I wasn't sure.
And then I just, honestly,
I needed a second
to wrap my head around it.
I mean
honey, four kids.
(chuckling)
Well, Robbie's almost done,
so, really,
it's like three and a half.
Yeah.
I love you.
- Oh, come on.
- What? What?
I thought you'd be happy.
- Yeah, in theory, sure.
In practice, nobody wants
to see that. Ugh.
(chuckling)
- Hello?
- Hey! Are you okay?
What? Yeah, totally.
Justin's just finalizing
some stuff about the jet.
I really think
that you need to come home.
Holly, stop. I'm fine, okay?
I'm better than fine, actually,
I'm on a romantic adventure
with a celebrity.
I just
I don't think that Justin
is thinking clearly.
Why? Because he's doing this
with me instead of you?
- That's not fair.
- Then what?
You're worried
about the music stuff?
Hey, it's one day!
You really can't wait
one stupid day?
Okay, and what if
it's not just one day?
I just talked
to Justin's manager,
and apparently
he does this all the time.
He gets freaked out by
the pressure and then he runs.
Sometimes for weeks.
Okay, well that's not
what this is.
This is one night,
and we have a plan.
He's been acting erratically
for a while.
This isn't about you.
And it's not about you.
Everything's fine.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Good news is that
there's a flight
to New Mexico in an hour.
It's fully booked,
but I'm pretty sure
I can convince
that couple over there
to sell me their tickets.
They're fans.
What happened
to the private jet?
Must have lost my reservation.
But don't worry.
We just have to find
a way to get there.
How hard could that be?
I mean, I'm Justin Lewis!
(airplane taking off)
How long would it take to drive?
To New Mexico?!
A road trip could be fun.
I don't think
you're thinking clearly.
So, could you just take
a couple deep breaths for me?
No, no, no.
I see what you're doing,
but I'm fine. I'm fine!
When I researched this,
they said that
there's another spot
you can see the comet in Hawaii.
Maybe there's a flight
to Honolulu!
Justin,
that's 4,000 miles away.
That's a ten-hour flight.
Then we'll get there
just in time!
Holly.
Can you get someone
to come and get us, please?
There is no way you just
called Holly to snitch.
I had to.
So now you can't think
for yourself anymore?
You just go along with
whatever Holly's saying?!
Justin, this is all
just way too much, okay?
We need to go home.
I thought you
were special, Amy.
Turns out you're just
like everyone else.
How mad is your mom?
Oh, it's worse than that.
She's disappointed.
But she's proud of me
for calling for help.
Hi. Justin, he's sleeping.
And your dad is just gonna
keep an eye on him for tonight.
But thank you for telling us.
It's like the pressure just
broke his brain or something.
I know, and I'm really sorry.
I should have seen it sooner.
Um, I should have
seen it sooner.
I mean, I knew he struggled
with the anxiety stuff, but
I thought he was doing better.
I just, I don't think
that that's the way
that it works.
You know, sometimes you just,
you have to keep working
on stuff like this.
But I think
that he is gonna be just fine.
You guys let me know
if you need anything, okay?
Okay. Thanks, Mom.
(sighing)
I think you just really wanted
to go see that comet with him.
And I get it, okay?
We all want to feel
special sometimes.
Plus
I mean, that trip
was pretty cool, hmm?
Sure would have been.
(chuckling)
Thanks for having my back.
Both when you covered for me
and when you told me
to bring him home.
So, what are we gonna do
when he finally wakes up?
Try to get him some help?
Make sure that he sets up
a meeting with his therapist.
That'd be really good.
And then maybe we could even
get back to writing some music.
We're really close.
And maybe
he'll be able to take me
on another road trip some day.
Ah, you mean when
you're not grounded anymore.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
So, if you could just like,
keep him working here
on your album
for a few extra years
- Oh.
- That would be great.
- Yeah. Cool.
- Thanks.
(laughing)
I guess boys and bagels
have nothing in common.
Well, except for the letter B.
But if you try
and split a person
into too many different pieces,
eventually they'll break.
