Holly Hobbie (2018) s04e10 Episode Script

The Friendship Fiasco

One time I got this splinter
on my foot,
but instead of taking it out,
I just crossed my fingers
and hoped that it would
go away on its own.
And it did
not. It did not.
Instead, it just got infected
and super painful,
and I got a trip
to the doctor's
and two weeks of antibiotics.
(chuckling)
You see where I'm going
with this though, right?
No? No? Okay. Um
Well, then maybe it's better
if you just keep watching.
(phone vibrating)
What?!
(knocking)
- Good morning.
You would not believe
what people are saying.
Apparently, Justin
left Collinsville
because he's still
in love with Amelia Gravenzo.
This is hilarious, isn't it?
(chuckling)
Why aren't you laughing?
Look, sweetie,
you know how Justin's parents,
they've been visiting
for a few days?
Oh yeah, it's been
super nice to meet them.
Hmm. Well, they actually
took Justin
back to Los Angeles last night.
Oh.
Without saying goodbye?
Justin's parents told us
that he's bipolar.
Do you know what that means?
Yeah. It's a mental disorder
that affects the way
that you think and feel.
That's right. So, they think
Justin is having an episode.
And that's why his behaviour
has been so off.
Like, dropping everything and
moving to Collinsville
to write music with me.
Oh, sweetie.
Do you think
any of this was real?
I think that the music
that you created together,
I think that was really special.
The label thinks
that we've been goofing off.
I know that you think
that your music's important,
but you know, the health
of people that we care about
That's just more important.
Right?
(distant sheep bleating)
Oh my gosh, Amy!
(gasping)
I lost my songwriting partner,
but she lost
her first boyfriend!
Oh, she's gonna be devastated!
She has to hear
the news from me.
Um, you
Should probably
get dressed first.
Probably.
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 ♪
- Amy.
- Hey. Everything okay? Oh.
We have so much
to be thankful for.
Okay? Like sun,
and air, and um
- Water?
- Yes! Yes, water!
Holls.
I know Justin is back in LA.
You spoke with him?
No, I read it online,
like everyone else.
I can't believe
you had to find out that way.
I'm fine. Honestly.
Amy, people
are saying he's back
with his ex-girlfriend.
Okay, whatever you need,
I'm here for you.
You want to scream?
Okay, let's scream.
You ready? Ready?
One, two, three!
(screaming)
Okay, you're not
ready for screaming.
But that's okay,
that's fine. That's fine.
I have plans.
I'm gonna measure the voltage
generated by maple tress.
Plants generate electricity,
but no one's figured out
how to harness it yet,
until this morning.
I have an idea
and I'm gonna go test it out.
Yes, yes, okay.
Reconnecting with nature can be
very therapeutic. I'm in.
This kind of work
requires precision and focus.
I can't be distracted.
- Oh, okay.
Um
Well, maybe we can
hang out this afternoon?
I'll have to work
day and night
to get ready for
the state science fair.
Uh, Amy.
Just remember,
if you need a friend, I'm
I'm waiting for your call.
Okay.
Bye.
(sighing)
Blue's sus.
(tablet dinging)
- Where?
- Electrical.
I know who the imposter is.
Okay, I'm calling
an emergency meeting.
No, no, no. Argh. I just got
kicked out of the game.
Dad!
What?!
Something is wrong
with our game.
Ugh. Did your screens lock?
Yes. Has it happened to you?
Uh, no,
because I don't spend
40 plus hours
on my screen every week.
No! You didn't!
Yes, I did!
I set screen limits,
and so did Levi's parents.
What are we supposed
to do now?
- Go outside and play.
- It's too hot.
- Well, go jump in the pond.
- Too cold.
I don't know, Goldilocks.
Figure it out.
Okay, fine. I guess we'll just
plan our own funerals,
since we're gonna die
of boredom!
R.I.P. us.
Give me your phone.
Call Claudia.
- What are you doing?
She always has
something fun to do.
No, hang up before
she picks up!
Why are you being so weird?!
(Claudia): Hello? Are you there?
Sorry, butt dial.
That was rude.
Okay, are you mad
at her or something?
I'm going home.
That was even ruder.
Hanging in there, kiddo?
Well, I'm fine.
But it's Amy that we
should be worried about.
I remember my first
break up.
I locked myself in my room,
I cried my eyes out for days
listening to Fleetwood Mac,
Rumours.
Well, according
to this article,
that is a very healthy
way of processing.
Not if you consume
your body weight
in chocolate chip
cookie dough ice cream.
- Hmm.
- So, what's going on with Amy?
Well, Amy says that
she's fine. With everything.
But you can tell
that she's sad on the inside.
No. She seems normal.
Happy, even.
She doesn't even want
to talk about Justin,
which can only mean one thing.
She's not that into him.
No.
She's obviously in denial.
Right. Everyone deals
with grief differently.
Yeah. This article
says that too.
What it doesn't tell me
is how I can help her.
Well, maybe she just
needs time to process.
(knocking)
I bet that's Amy.
Aw, I knew
she'd need me eventually!
Bonjour, Hobbies!
(joyful screams)
Oh my gosh,
why didn't you tell anyone
you were coming home early?!
So I'd get
a reaction like this!
Okay, I really hope
that you slept on the plane,
because we have got
a lot of work to do.
Levi's obviously mad at you.
I have no idea what I did.
Maybe you didn't laugh
at one of his jokes?
But I think he's hilarious.
Really?
He's like, one of the funniest
guys I've ever met.
Have you seen his impression
of your dad?
Really?
Maybe I laughed too
hard and he thought
I wasn't being genuine?
Yeah, that's definitely it.
Really?
Okay, well, it's gotta
be something.
I know Levi can seem
laid-back,
but he can be pretty sensitive.
Boys are so confusing.
More like annoying.
Can't you just say
what you think, dude?
That's it!
Okay, if we want to know
what a boy thinks,
we have to ask a boy.
That's a good idea.
So, now Amy's
out in the forest
trying to charge
her phone with a tree.
This situation is very similar
to what happened when Henri
broke up with my friend Amelie.
- Well, what did you do?
- Well, at first nothing,
because the eclairs Amelie
was popping out of the oven
were magnifique!
But then I realized,
they weren't for me or Amelie,
they were for Henri.
She was hoping he'd come back,
and when he did,
she'd have fresh eclairs
waiting for him
because they were
his favourite dessert!
Oh. She loved him so much.
And I didn't know
what to do,
until my mom told me
about this thing
called a cord-cutting ceremony.
- It sounds painful.
- In a good way.
Sometimes, when people
disappear from your life,
it can be hard,
because you have so much to say
and no one to say it to.
That's exactly what Amy needs.
So, what do we need to prep
for this cord-cutting ceremony?
All we need is a picture
of Justin,
some scissors,
and a long piece of ribbon.
And one more hug?
Okay.
(joyful cheering, giggling)
Okay, last letter.
Make it count.
C.
Maybe pick another letter.
(chuckling)
- That's not fair.
Just tell me
what the phrase is.
Well, actually,
it's a question.
(door opening)
One that's been on my mind
for a while now.
Robbie, I need to know
why Levi's ghosting Claudia!
We are in the middle
of something!
We cannot desert your sister.
How long has this been going on?
Weeks, apparently.
- And he won't say why?
- Every time I ask, he clams up.
Aw. Babe, remember
when you'd do that to me?
Sixth grade.
You were wearing a white t-shirt
with yellow daffodils.
- Mm, they were daisies.
- Oh, right, daisies.
And a blue cardigan.
Actually, I think the colour
was more like a cornflower--
Yeah, and I think this story
is already too long,
just get to the juicy part.
What did she do to you?
She smiled.
- And then?
- I thought I was gonna puke.
She made you feel sick?
And then for a year
after that, I avoided her.
I'd skip group hangouts,
I would sit as far away from her
in class as I could.
And whenever my name came up
in conversation, he was so mean!
Um, why would you do that?
Isn't it obvious?
He had a huge crush.
I didn't want
to seem desperate.
What if she didn't like me?
I did.
I was just playing hard to get.
Yeah, but there's no way that
Levi has a crush on Claudia.
(gasping)
- What if she likes him back?!
Ah! They would be
the cutest couple.
Could you imagine?
I most certainly will not.
Oh, no.
What was that question
you wanted to ask me, babe?
Wanna grab a burger?
Yes? Yes!
A thousand times yes!
(chuckling)
Ugh, Piper, I told you,
Amy's not even home.
Holly, do you want her
to get closure or not?
Okay, well, what if Amy
doesn't want to do
the cord-cutting ceremony?
There's a famous
French proverb,
"L'appétit vient en mangeant."
You only get hungry
when you eat.
Well, why would you be hungry
if you were eating?
I don't know,
but it sounds cool, right?
Piper!
(excited cries)
This makes everything
so perfect.
All I've heard all year
is Piper this and Piper that.
I know we're gonna be
the best of friends.
I mean, if you say so.
And Holly!
Are you coming
to the movie, by the way?
Piper! You're back!
I can't believe I convinced
Amy to go see a musical.
By the end of summer,
she'll have all the lyrics
to Fun Hill memorized.
Amy, I, um
I thought you had your tree
experiment to work on.
My, um
socket metre broke.
Your socket metre broke?
Yeah, you can't measure
electrical current without one.
I'm super bummed.
And then Savannah called
and asked if I wanted
to watch a movie
and here we are now.
Any more questions?
I have one.
Why is Holly holding
a giant cut-out
of Justin Lewis?
Um
The point of a cord-cutting
ceremony
is to give you the chance
to say goodbye
to the person who left
after you cut the cord.
Both literally
and metaphorically.
Okay.
Who wants to go first?
Ames?
I'm good.
You shouldn't bottle
up your emotions.
That's not what I'm doing!
(scoffing)
- Of course you are.
You came up with this project
to distract yourself
from your feelings.
- So did you.
Except you made your project me!
You shouldn't keep
avoiding your problems!
I'm not! I'm avoiding you!
This is all your fault!
Okay, well, if you hadn't
tried to run away to New Mexico,
Justin would still be here!
We worked so hard for so long,
and now it's all for nothing!
You put too much
pressure on him.
He was running
away from you then,
and that's what he's doing now!
I have to go.
(birds chirping)
So, how was Paris?!
(laughing)
(video game blipping)
Oh, I think I figured out
how to override
the parental controls
on your game.
You can't have a crush
on Claudia! Okay?
You two would be weird
all the time,
and you'll blow up
our entire friend group.
Who told you I have
a crush on Claudia?
- So it's true?
- I didn't say that.
Well, you didn't not say that.
Come on! This is important!
Do you have a crush on Claudia?!
- No!
Then why are you
being so weird?
Because she has a crush on me!
Ew. Okay,
how is that possible?
Okay, some girls think
I'm quite a catch.
She does think
you're very funny.
I am very funny.
(sighing)
Moderately funny?
Plus, she's always
being so nice to me.
And complimenting my shoes.
Maybe she's just
a nice sneaker-head
with a questionable
sense of humour.
Oh, and last week
when I walked into class,
I looked at the white board,
and there was a big heart
that said "Claudia + Levi"
in it.
How could you not
lead with that?
Look, everything's
gonna be fine
as long as she
doesn't admit it.
Then I can just play it off
like it's nothing,
and everything will be normal.
- Nothing is normal.
What do I do? I don't feel
the same way back.
You have to be honest.
No, she's gonna be
so upset.
You know I don't
do well with tears.
The future of our entire
friend group
depends on this, okay?
If we let this get between us
before we even
get to high schoool,
we don't stand a chance
in September.
(sighing)
You're gonna mess this up,
aren't you?
Big time.
So, if it means that much,
maybe you can do it?
Ugh.
(sighing)
Robbie?
- Lyla, is that you?
- Yeah, I rushed right over.
You said it was important?
Babe, you make everything
so much better.
Babe! You don't have
to say that.
Yes, I do. And there's more.
You make me so much better.
Look
I don't need fancy things
or a big job to be happy.
All I need is my best friend.
(gasping)
All I need is you.
(Holly crying)
(Lyla): Aw, Robbie,
that's so sweet!
Will you excuse me
for a minute?
(sobbing)
What is going on with you?
I'm trying to propose.
I know, and I'm ruining it.
You wanted this to be perfect
and your stupid little sister
couldn't keep
her emotions in check
and made it all about her.
Amy was right. I'm a ruiner.
I ruin everything.
Robbie?
Robbie, what's going on?
Holly planned a romantic
afternoon with Oscar.
But he didn't show.
Ugh. What a jerk.
Is this why you called me over?
To help with your sister?
- Yes. Yup. Mm-hmm.
- Ah. Don't worry.
I got it from here.
- Cool.
Now Holly, tell Lyla
what's going on.
Ugh. Levi stole my heart.
How come you didn't
mention that last time?
I thought you'd be
embarrassed.
'Cause of your crush on him.
(laughing)
I don't have a crush on Levi.
Everyone at school
was talking about it.
Who? I want names!
Anyhow, whether
it was true or not--
It's not!
I came into class and someone,
not saying it was you,
had drawn a heart
with your and Levi's names.
I knew you wouldn't want
people gossiping so
I changed it to my name instead.
So, you don't
have a crush on Levi?
No way. That would blow up
our friend group.
Agreed. We need to fix this.
Well, we've seen the damage
even fake crushes can do.
So, we have to make sure
that real ones never happen.
Thanks for helping
with the proposal redo.
Yeah, well, I think it's nice
that you decided to propose
in front of the whole family.
Well, this way,
no one can interrupt
because everyone
will already be here.
(chuckling)
Yeah, I should probably
clean up the open mic area.
It still has
all of Justin's stuff.
Cool.
(sighing)
Pff
Hmm.
(guitar riff)
When they said my songs
Were not good enough ♪
You kept cheering me on ♪
And when my dreams
Were seconds ♪
From being so crushed ♪
You keep cheering me on ♪
Even when we get wrapped up ♪
With stupid boys
And my first choice ♪
You and I, yeah we always
Right our wrongs ♪
Our friendship is-- ♪
The bomb?
As in good,
or will explode and destroy
everything in its path?
I, um
I wanted to return this.
Uh, oh, um, thanks I guess?
(chuckling)
"Holly and Amy. BFFs 4 eva."
Is it still true?
Of course.
I'm sorry I said
that you ruined everything.
It was just easier for me
to get mad at the person
that is here,
than the one who's not.
Yeah, well,
if I'm being honest,
I was kind of mad at you too.
(chuckling)
Like, if you never dated Justin,
none of this
would have happened.
I think I was just
swept up in Justin mania.
He treated me
like I was the most
important person in the world.
You are to me.
Even though I may not
always act that way.
(chuckling)
4 eva!
So, what are you gonna do
with all this music equipment?
Um
Send it back, I guess?
Well, I'm pretty sure
that would cost me
way more than it's worth.
Did I tell you Justin taught
me how to play the drums?
- Really?!
- Mm-hmm.
When my heart was wrecked
By a reckless guy ♪
(chuckling)
You picked the pieces up ♪
When I lost my jobs

You reminded me I'm tough ♪
Yeah we might have blamed

You're my girl, no cap,

Two's better than one ♪
Yeah, we might lose our cool

All I need is you ♪
(laughing)
Okay, our friendship
is strong.
But today we just had
a glimpse of our worst enemy.
Hormones.
Ugh, don't say that word.
We have to take
this seriously.
So, I've created a contract.
"I, the undersigned,
agree not to have
a crush on my best friends.
If I do not follow
the terms of this agreement,
I owe each friend
10,000 dollars."
Yeah. Just sign on the line.
Problem solved.
(cheering)
You guys sounded amazing.
You know, I can
play the keyboard.
We should definitely
jam sometime.
Um, did we just form a band?!
I think we just
started a band.
Okay, all we need now
is a name.
Hi everyone, sorry we're late.
We had an appointment.
Great. Now that everyone
is here,
we can get to the real purpose
of this shin dig, hmm?
So, we have an announcement.
Your father and I,
we were at the doctors.
- Mm-hmm.
- And, um
- We're having a baby!
- What?! Oh my gosh!
(cheering)
- That's awesome!
- Congratulations!
- Congratulations!
- This is the best news ever!
Congratulations!
- Congratulations, Mom!
Wait, can I have
everyone's attention again?
Look, as exciting and shocking
as that news is,
there is another reason
you're all here, okay?
(exhaling)
Lyla, look, I wanted
this moment to be perfect.
But I realized it doesn't
have to be.
All I need to do
is tell you how I feel.
Lyla Harrison
will you marry me?
Yes! Yes!
(cheering)
Aww!
Woo-hoo!
I cannot wait to see
what happens next.
