Holly Hobbie (2018) s05e02 Episode Script

- Can you think
of a bigger milestone
than getting your
driver's licence?
I mean, one minute you're a kid
relying on your parents
for a ride and the next
you're still a kid,
but you can drive yourself.
Freedom and excitement await
if you master the parallel park.
Huh. Not too bad, huh?
Well, I can try again.
Nah. No.
(sighs)
- That straight?
- It's good, I think so.
Guys, I hear a car coming.
Tight!
- Isn't this celebration
a little bit risky?
- What if she didn't pass?
- Well, then we celebrate me
sleeping soundly
for a few more months.
OK, ready? One, two, three.
(all): Congratulations!
Ooh. Look, don't worry.
Not everyone passes
their first time.
Sometimes, the examiner
is just out to get you.
Not mine.
- Yeah!
(cheering)
- Oh boy.
- Time for cake.
- Oh shoot, I'm so sorry,
can it wait?
- I actually have plans.
- Come one, we hardly
- get to see ya anymore.
- Oscar needs help
with a new song.
But we'll all get to hang out together soon, I promise.
- And how are you planning
on getting over there?
Uh alright. Be home by 10,
and drive safe.
- Yes! Oh my gosh,
thank you! You're the best.
- Or he's just easily
manipulated.
- OK, maybe maybe I can
stay for one slice.
(cheering)
Aw, this looks so good!
- Oh! Did you make this?
- Maybe.
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 ♪
(synthesizer music)
I can't believe the things you
showed to me ♪
What you do is magical,
it's mystery ♪
But just for a moment
I can change my mind ♪
Something about this
just don't feel right ♪
(sighs)
You hate it, don't you?
- Well, the melody's great
and the lyrics are killer.
- It just, it needs um--
- Backup vocals?
Yes. You read my mind.
OK, OK, what about
something like, um
Ooh, ooh, ohh ♪
- Think we could lay down those
vocals tonight?
- I can't. I have to be home
in half an hour.
According to my mom, nothing
good happens after 10 PM.
- Except the Equalizer
Music Festival this Thursday,
- which I got a slot in.
- Oscar, that's amazing.
- It would be amazing if you
could be there to support me.
- And maybe sing backup.
- OK, what time do you go on?
Uh, 11.
- AM?
- This is a pretty big deal.
- (sighs)
- I know.
- And I'm always there for you.
- I know.
- Remember that time last week
when I rushed over
to give you my opinion
on your song before your band heard it?
- I know. And thank you, that
was above and beyond.
You're Holly Hobbie, OK?
I mean, you've convinced
this town to make municipal policy changes.
I'm sure this will be
a piece of cake.
- Uh that part
I don't know about.
But I'll try. I promise.
(joyful music)
Ooh, waffles. You bomb a test?
But you only ever make breakfast
when you're in trouble.
- Whoa, that is not true!
- Mm-hmm.
- Should I check
the car for scratches?
- (laughter)
- I know, right?
- I do not deserve
this reputation.
- Well, when you broke
the washing machine, you made croissants.
- Yeah, and then when
you spilled nail polish
on the carpet,
you scrambled eggs.
- Oh, and remember when you lost
your brand new back pack?
- Those chocolate chip
pancakes were
- OK, well, you know what,
this time, I didn't do anything.
- Well, then you must
want something.
Mm. Someone's making waffles.
- Yes. With blueberries
from the farmer's market
- and freshly whipped cream.
- Huh, this ought to be good.
So, um
Oscar is gonna be performing
at the Equalizer Music Festival.
- OK.
(chuckles)
- In Sheffield.
- That's OK.
- At 11.
- AM?
- Please, I'll be home by 1.
(laughing)
Morning! Wow. What's so funny?
- Well, um, Holly has asked
to go to Sheffield
to a concert that starts at 11.
- Oh. Well, that does
explain the waffles.
Honey, you have no experience
driving at night.
- OK, but the roads
are deserted.
- Which means if you break down
there's no one there to help you
in Sheffield.
It's 30 miles away.
What if Robbie comes with me?
- I have a meeting
in the morning.
Yeah, and you have school.
Honey, senior year,
it's very important.
- I know, but this will be
a one time thing, OK?
Because this is important
to Oscar and I want to be there for him.
And you are important to us.
And do you know that nothing
good every happens
after 10 PM, yes, I know.
- OK, well, now that we've got
that settled.
Uh, can somebody pass me
the whipped cream?
Ah!
(whistle blows)
Woo!
That catch was epic.
- Only because
of your great pass.
You're gonna make history.
First girl on the football team.
- My dad and brother say
that these were the best years of their life.
- That is both exciting
and super depressing.
(laughing)
I gotta go shower.
- Alright. Ah, I am going
to go get my bag.
Hey. Littles Hobbie.
Nice pass.
But I've got a question.
Why are you wasting your talent
on the boy's football team?
- Because it's football,
America's greatest pastime.
Not the way these guys play.
They didn't even make it
to playoffs last year.
Well, that was last year.
- And it'll pretty much be
the same team this year.
Plus you.
Which is why you should play
rugby instead.
Who plays rugby?
- 15 of the best female athletes
at this school.
Last year, we made it
to state finals.
This year, we're determined
to make it to nationals.
- But I'm gonna be the first
girl on the boy's football team.
- You really wanna spend
the next four years with those dudes to prove a point?
(soft music)
- I am excited to hear this song
with your new backup vocals.
- Put it on a hard drive
for you.
- Your parents said
you couldn't come?
Ugh. They were resistant
to the power of
my blueberry waffles.
- When something's important
to you, you make your own rules.
- Oscar, this is important
to me.
But, I mean, I
I can't sneak out.
- Do you know how often
I make the trek
- to Collinsville to see you?
- A lot.
I'm sorry, Oscar.
- You know, there's lots
of girls who would love
to come out and support me.
What does that mean?
Nothing.
Let's just hear these vocals.
Dad, Robbie, guess what?
- (chuckles)
- Look on the table.
OK, it's not my birthday,
but who cares, I love presents.
(laughing)
How did you know already?
The coach is a buddy of mine
and he called to tell me
that you made the team!
Put it on.
It's a little big.
- I just can't believe
this is happening.
- This is gonna be amazing.
- That is for sure.
The football team has
the best parties.
- I'm still close with the
friends I made on that team.
- And after the initiation,
you're bonded for life.
- Initiation, right, I heard
that's supposed to be epic.
- Mm-hmm.
- Isn't that also where you get
- your football nickname?
- Yup. Isn't that right,
- Cheddar?
- Right, Edison.
- So, what happens
at initiation?
Do I need like my passport,
a disguise, bail money?
- Well, we can't tell you,
because that's top secret.
But I would suggest going
to bed with an extra layer of clothes tonight.
And don't worry about
waking me up
because the activity
is already Dad-approved.
- (chuckles)
- Well, I better get ready.
I'm proud of you.
(grunts)
(laughs)
Oscar still hasn't replied.
It's been five seconds.
- Do you think he's gonna
break up with me?
I mean, he seemed pretty upset.
And maybe he's right,
maybe I am a bad girlfriend.
- He said that?
- He's always there
to support me. And the one time
he asks me to do something,
I can't pull it off.
- He's probably just got
his phone off for the show.
(phone vibrating)
- Except you
you can't like a photo
you've been tagged in
with your phone off, right?
- "Gang's all out to support
our boy."
- Who are those kids?
- Um
I mean, they're his friends
from school I guess.
Wait
Who's that blonde girl?
She's the one who posted
the photo.
- (gasps)
- Am I hallucinating
or does she have her arm
around him?
- No, no, no, no.
You're spiralling.
- Am not.
(sighs)
Still no reply from Oscar.
OK, that's definitely her arm.
Do you think this dress
will look good on me?
- It's a little fancy
for a sleep over.
- If I leave now,
I might still be able
to make the end of Oscar's set.
- OK. For the record,
this is a terrible idea.
(sighs)
Find me a dress.
Something a little more conservative than that one.
You're coming?
- What kind of friend would I be
if I didn't support you too?
Thank you.
(clock ticking faintly)
(indistinct whispering)
- I'm pretty sure
it's on the counter.
I'm not sure. Shh! Shh!
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
Cool.
Good luck with nothing.
You too.
(door opens and closes)
(rock music)
(singing along)
(laughing)
Ugh, how much further?
Uh, it says 20 miles.
- Ugh.
(sighs)
It's pretty dark.
- Maybe you should be using
your high beams?
- Ooh, yes, I should
be doing that. Um--
- Holly, deer! Deer!
- What?
(gasps)
(tires screeching)
(crashing)
(panting)
You OK?
Holls?
Um yeah.
You?
Yeah.
Do you think the deer's dead?
- Maybe we should
get out and check.
OK.
OK.
Oh.
(gasps)
Maybe it ran off.
- Do you think that
we should check on it?
I mean, what if it's hurt?
- You want to chase
after a wounded deer into the woods at night?
- Should we make sure
that it's OK?
Holly, no.
We need to turn back.
- OK.
- OK, come.
OK.
(insects chirping)
- My parents are
gonna be so mad.
Hey, hey.
Right now, all we need
to focus on
is getting home in one piece.
- OK.
(sighs)
- Hey, seatbelts.
(sighs)
(breathes deeply)
(engine sputters)
(beeping)
(footsteps approaching)
- (gasps)
- I'm ready!
- For what?
- Football initiation.
- Yeah, it's pretty late,
Heather,
I don't think
it's happening tonight.
Yeah, it is, they
They just didn't invite me.
- Look, I'm sure it was
an innocent mistake.
- I don't know. What are you
doing up anyway?
- I am sure you'll hear
all about it in the morning.
(grunts)
- OK, well, can you see
what's wrong?
(sighs)
The radiator must be busted.
- Great, great, OK, cool.
Can you fix it?
- Yeah, sure, um,
since you last saw me,
which was around dinner time,
I became a certified
mechanic, Holly.
Get in the truck. I'm gonna
call a tow truck,
and then drive you home.
- And then maybe we can get
the car fixed
before Mom and Dad find out?
- Seriously? That's what
you're worried about?
Why are you being so mean?
- Well, because you could have
gotten yourself,
and Amy, killed.
- Over what? A dumb boy.
- Oscar is not some dumb boy,
he's my boyfriend and I wanted
to be there for him.
- Whatever, you got lucky.
- To hit a deer?
And live to tell the story.
People get killed all the time
hitting wildlife
on country roads.
- What, like you haven't done
way dumber stuff?!
Holls
(sighs)
I'm sorry. I'm sorry
I'm sorry to you too.
I really appreciate you coming.
I also really hate
that Mom and Dad were right.
I don't think waffles
are gonna fix this one.
(breathing deeply)
Heather!
Hey, where were you last night?
You missed initiation.
- Yeah, I know.
According to the captain,
everyone thought it'd be
weird to have me there.
How ridiculous is that?
- I don't know,
I kind of get it.
- Seriously?
What did you even do?
- Well, in the middle
of the night,
Moose picked me up and then,
we went to the field
and we had to tell
our darkest secret
and we made an oath to always
be loyal to the team.
- I don't see how having me
there would make a difference?
- I guess some of the guys
would have found it weird
to spill their guts to a girl.
I mean, at least you're still
on the team.
- Yeah, I guess.
- Hey, Moose, are we starting
with the pizza route or
the burrito sweep?
What are you talking about?
- We named the plays after
our favourite foods.
Don't worry, we named one
"salad" in your honour.
That's what girls like
to eat, right?
(chuckles)
Yeah.
(sighs)
- In conclusion, I'm really,
really sorry for what I did
and I promise that
I will do everything I can to pay the car off.
(sighs)
Mom
I'm really sorry.
Yeah, I know, you said that.
- OK, but--
- Holly, I had meetings
all day today and since
I don't have my car,
I have to call
all of my clients now.
Just ground me, OK?
- OK, you know what, honey?
We told you not to go
and you went anyways.
So, if you really don't care
what we think, what would be
the point of grounding you? Hm?
I do care what you think.
OK, I did something really bad
and I need a consequence.
OK.
I don't trust you.
- Oscar wasn't answering
my calls and I
I got it into my head that
he might break up with me.
Oh, well, what a guy.
Look, honey,
you can't blame Oscar
because you are responsible
for your own decisions, right?
(sighs)
I know.
- Sweety, you always used
to talk about how you wanted
to make big change in the world.
Well, lately it seems like
all you're interested in
is making it big. Is that
what you really want?
- Oscar's my first boyfriend.
- I know.
- And I really,
really do like him. A lot.
- But do you like who you are
when you're with him?
(upbeat music)
Peach pie. My favourite.
- Let's call this "sorry for
almost getting you killed" gift.
And don't worry, there will be
lots more where this came from
because I am going to be working
a billion hours
to pay off the car.
(chuckling)
Have you talked to Oscar yet?
- (sighs)
- No. I'm not sure what to say.
- You might want
to figure that out.
We were just leaving.
- We were?
- Mm-hmm.
- Hm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
- Can you take a few minutes?
- Uh, yeah.
- Just--
- Yup.
You missed a great show.
I tried to come.
But your parents said no.
- And then, I snuck out and
got into a car accident.
Why didn't you tell me?
- Are you, are you OK?
- I'm fine.
My parents, on the other hand,
are pretty mad.
- Don't worry,
they'll get over it.
So, you'll never guess
what happened.
The promoter at the club
loved my act
and he wants me to play
again next weekend.
This could be a really big deal.
Holly?
Why do you like me?
Where are you going with this?
I think we should break up.
Is this because of Tyler?
- I've barely spoken
to Tyler in a year
because every single time
that I do
you make me feel
guilty for it.
- Then why? I mean,
we have fun together.
- We make great music.
- Sure, but Oscar,
I don't always like the person
that I am with you.
- I'm sorry I pressured you
into coming to the club, OK,
but it's not a crime
to want to spend time
with your girlfriend, is it?
(sighs)
Fine.
We're broken up.
Have a nice life.
(sad music)
- Oh gosh, what do you want
this time?
- All I know is
I don't want to be here when Mom and Dad find out.
- You're right.
I do want something.
- Wow.
- Whoo!
Well, let me have a seat
before we find out
what it is that you want.
- I've signed up
for the Collinsville
Community Housing Build
next weekend.
And I was thinking maybe
we could all do it as a family.
- Oh.
- Hold on.
You're forcing Robbie
and I to do community service?
We didn't hit a deer.
It's not about punishment.
It's about giving back
to our community.
- All because you broke up
with Oscar.
Can't you just eat ice cream
like a normal person?
- I just want to get back
to the things
that are important to me, like
spending time with my family.
- Well, I'm in. It's been a long
time since I've swung a hammer.
But what if Heather has
football practice that day?
- Oh, right.
- Hm?
- (sighs)
- I quit the team.
What?
Wait, wait, is this because
of the initiation thing?
I'm sure there'll be tons
of opportunities for you to bond with the team.
- Like, in the boy's
locker room,
where I'm also not allowed?
And where they run through
all the plays
before practice.
- But you're such
a good athlete.
- Yeah, I know,
which is why I've decided
to join the girl's rugby team.
I love playing sports,
but I just don't want to spend
the next four years fighting
to belong on a team.
I just kind of want
to be where I'm wanted.
Hope you two aren't super
disappointed in me.
Because of this? No, never.
- But I don't start 'till next
week so, count me in.
As long as I get to use
the power tools.
That's a hard no.
- Not even like a little
chain sawing, as a treat?
- No.
- Chainsawing?
(Holly): Words of warning.
With great freedom comes
great responsibility.
So, um, be careful
what you wish for.
(chuckles)
