Holly Hobbie (2018) s05e09 Episode Script

- I know you're supposed
to live in the moment
and I really do try, but
(sighs)
How am I supposed
to do that when I know
this moment will affect
the next moment
and that moment will affect
the moment after it and so on.
It's like a Russian
nesting doll of moments.
I woke up like this ♪
Perfectly and perfect me ♪
Unapologetically ♪
Whoa whoa ♪
I woke up like this ♪
(laughing)
Oh, great job, Ellie.
(cheering, clapping)
Okay, why don't we go ahead
and put our instruments so that we can get ready to go?
(kids laughing, chattering)
- I can't believe
she hugged you.
That never would have happened
two months ago.
(laughs)
She's a pretty cool kid.
Once you get through
the tough exterior.
Keep up the good work, okay?
Okay!
- You'll make
the rest of us look bad.
- Ooh, I don't really think
that you need my help with that.
Since you're here
and the rest of your class is
Is where?
- They just finished
a big project
and they're about to present it.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- Um, is this some sort
of modern art piece
I don't understand?
Just wait for it.
(soft music)
- "You're a masterpiece
Go to prom with me."
(laughs)
(clapping)
You helped with this?
Since when did you become
mister romance?
Doctor Romance, actually.
Okay.
- Are you two going
to prom together?
(awkward laughs)
Hmm?
Uh
I guess.
I think we could.
As friends?
Of course.
Great.
My work here is done.
Okay.
(chuckles)
All of these years oh my ♪
Is this really a love song ♪
I never thought
I'd fall for you ♪
Am I singing a love song ♪
I never even had a clue ♪
- It's really nice
to see you writing again.
It's been awhile.
I guess I'm
I guess I'm inspired.
By your prom date?
Mom!
What? It's an honest question.
(sighs)
Fine.
It might be informed by Tyler,
but it's just a song.
Well, sweetie, it's beautiful.
Thank you.
Can we talk about what's next?
(sighs)
I don't even know.
We're only going as friends,
but who knows if there's going
to be another date or not
- That's great, I was
actually talking about life.
Oh.
- I mean, have you given any
more thought to the U of W
Because you know, you only have
two more days to accept.
- I don't think college
is what I want to do next year.
- What do you have planned
instead?
- Keep volunteering at the
Collinsville Children's Club
and plus, I'm this close
to making some real money off of music.
I can feel it.
- And honey, I'm your biggest
fan in that,
but I do think that it's
important to you know, have a plan B.
(sighs)
- Mom, I don't even know
what I want to study.
- Oh, I know,
it can be so overwhelming,
but that
Tada! Is what this is for.
Why don't you just have a look
and see what courses might interest you?
- Fine, okay.
I'll figure it out.
I know you will.
Now that all this
serious talk is over
(clears throat)
Why don't we talk
about prom dresses?
(chuckles)
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

(sighs)
Flower arches?
- Check! Full of irises,
freesias, crocuses and gladioluses.
All from the Iridaceae family.
I know they're your favourite.
(chuckles)
- Dessert table.
- Check.
Chocolate fountain with
strawberries, bananas,
potato chips for dipping.
Chips and chocolate?
You definitely stole
that from me.
- Only because
they're incredible.
(chuckles)
Your genius must be shared
with the world.
Hard to argue with that.
Alright, last item.
Convince Amy to plead
with the principal
to let her go to prom.
Sav, you know I can't do that.
- But chips with chocolate!
(sighs)
- I got in
so much trouble already
for distracting everyone
with that cow.
I'm lucky I even get
to go to graduation.
Besides, I have a meeting
soon with a professor
about a potential
summer lab job.
I should use this weekend
to prepare.
- So, you're just gonna miss
the prom?
Amy, the theme
is A Night Under the Stars.
I've made sure
the constellations on the gym ceiling
are astronomically accurate.
And I appreciate that effort,
but I have real life stuff
to focus on.
This is real life.
- They don't make
teen movies about preparing for job interviews.
They make them about prom.
Getting your picture taken while
looking stunning,
long-lost love
showing up unexpectedly and just asking for one dance.
Partying with all your friends.
One last time.
Hey, we'll get to see
all our friends at graduation,
it's literally the next day.
Honestly,
I just don't really care that much about stupid prom.
There's Holly.
I bet she doesn't think prom
is stupid.
So, excited about prom?
- Who could care about prom
at a time like this?
Ha!
- My mom's making
me go to U of W.
Why is that bad?
That's where I'm going.
- Yeah, but I mean,
what would I even take?
- College is so much more
than just classes.
We're gonna expand our minds,
meet new people who are like us
and be whoever we want to be.
- Do you even have
any other option?
- Well, my mom says
that if I can get a job,
I can stay in town.
Great! Let's start there.
What are you looking for?
- Uh, something fun,
cool and meaningful.
Small target,
but we'll start searching
job databases.
Build you the perfect resume.
I can help you send
them out next week.
I have two days.
- Then, you should probably just
take whatever you can get.
- Honestly, your options
in life are gonna be pretty slim without a degree.
- There are plenty of people
who are wildly successful without a degree.
Steve Jobs, Bill Gates,
Mark Zuckerberg
- How much do you know about
computers?
(scoffs)
It's your whole future, Holly.
Yeah. It is.
I guess I'll just have
to figure it out all on my own.
(soft music)
Don't look at me.
You're having a really tough
time supporting your friends today.
What is that?
My resume.
I need a job.
Huh.
Well, most of your experience
is either camp or music-based, or at the Calico.
There's not very much
factory experience here.
Okay, but I'm a quick learner.
- I don't have a spot
for you right now.
Please.
If I don't get a job,
Mom's gonna make me go away to do school.
(sighs)
- Well, maybe you can make
your own job.
Like I did. What do you love to
do as much as I love baking jam?
In town?
Yeah.
- I mean, I love teaching at the
Collinsville Children's Club.
- That sounds great,
do that, then.
It's volunteer.
And it's an after-school
program,
which means it'll be finished
when the school year ends.
Hmm.
- But what if I was
the summer program?
The kids could create
their own music and then,
perform it for their parents
at the end of the summer.
And then we could do evenings
and weekends throughout the school year.
Hmm.
- I have to go convince
the manager to do this.
You are the best.
- (laughing)
- Good.
(soft music)
Thank you. Have a good day.
(sighs)
- Hi. You need to restart
the router.
- Big demands for someone
who's been here for three hours without leaving a tip.
Here's a tip:
get a better router.
Who put a bee in your bonnet?
- I'm just I'm trying to
prepare for this huge interview
and nothing is going right.
All my friends are mad at me
and the Internet is terrible
in this town, and
I
I just need to get to New York,
where the Wi-Fi always works
and nobody's obsessed with prom,
because they care about
much bigger things.
But what's bigger than prom?
Everything?
What do you know
about prom anyway?
You're in 9th grade.
- Only that it's the biggest
party we'll ever go to until our weddings.
- Which is no coincidence,
since they're both just
different stops along society's
unimaginative highway.
- Okay, fine.
Don't ride in my limo, then.
So, you agree?
Prom is just one night
and Savannah has no right
getting mad at me over choosing
to prioritize my own life
over some dance.
- She probably
doesn't want to go alone.
- She won't be alone, she's head
of the prom committee.
- Yeah, but Holly's going
with Tyler and that's mostly who she'll be hanging with.
- She planned
the whole thing, right?
She probably has
some magical idea on how this will all play out.
- Definitely don't want
to ruin her magical night.
How would you feel if I stayed
here after you closed tonight?
- Again, lots of requests
for someone who isn't much of a tipper.
How about now?
Oh! There you are.
(singsong voice): Starving.
Thank you!
Dinner is here!
Oh, yeah!
Yum!
And I have an announcement.
- You're running away
to join the circus and I finally get a room to myself?
(chuckles)
- Uh, no, actually,
you're gonna be stuck with me
for another year or so,
because
I decided to decline my offer
from U of W.
Excuse me?
- (laughs)
- That's even better.
Why?
- Because with
a mistake this big,
- I'm gonna be the favourite.
- What about me?
- No, no, no, it wouldn't
be a mistake, okay?
Because Robbie helped me figure
out what I want to do instead.
Robbie?
- Ha, the gift
that keeps on giving.
- I pitched the Collinsville
Children's Club manager
on a full-blown musical program
that would run in the summer,
and then after school
in the fall,
and she totally loved it.
(laughs)
- Wow. That's super impressive,
kiddo.
- Thanks, it would help kids
build their creativity and their confidence.
- Yeah, but you know what,
sweetie,
I still think that college,
it's a better option.
Okay.
Take a look at this, though.
That's the presentation
I gave her.
Wow!
That's a killer title page.
Thank you!
Go to Go to page three.
The budget.
It would be cheaper
than daycare, okay,
so if we could get enough kids,
then there would be enough money
to hire a full-time director!
Moi!
- The numbers,
they do look good.
I guess, if it's a real job
that pays real money
and you think you'll love it
I would! I would!
So, you wouldn't be too mad?
No, of course not!
I'm just I may still have my
reservations, but
I've learned that
it's foolish to stand between you and your dreams.
Seriously?
That's all it takes for her
to get back in your good books?
Fine. Then, I'm running away
to join the circus.
- And honey,
I will support you when you do.
(sighs)
(soft music)
Amy?
Amy?
(drum roll)
"Will you take centre stage
with me at prom?"
What?
Is that a yes or a no?
- That's a "what" for what the
heck is even going on right now?
You guaranteed she'd say yes.
I
I thought she would.
What's wrong?
I got you a date to prom
so you don't have to go alone.
But it's Reggie.
What's wrong with Reggie?
- Keeping in mind
I am right here.
Nothing's wrong with Reggie.
Prom is the night we get
to celebrate everything
that we've achieved over
the last four years.
I don't want to go
with some random guy.
I want to go with you.
My best friend.
- Oh.
(chuckles)
Uh
Savannah, I'm
Never mind.
(soft music)
(sighs)
- Still gonna pay for the tux,
right?
(soft music)
Holly.
Hi!
You're seven hours early!
I know, I know, but I just
I couldn't wait to share
the ideas that I have for the new music program.
So, I was thinking, one way
that we can start brainstorming
is to have each of the kids
put a word in a hat
and then,
we take all those words, put them up on the board
and build a story up from there.
That way, they all feel
included from the start.
(sighs)
- These are all really great
ideas.
I'll pass them along
to our director.
Uh, director?
To run the program.
- Oh, I thought that
I would be the director.
Oh Holly,
we need someone
with a college degree in early childhood education
or child psychology.
But if everything works out
and it runs a few years,
as soon as you graduate college,
the job is yours.
Until then, we'd love to have
you keep volunteering with us.
Yeah.
(soft music)
- (laughing)
- Okay!
Let's try
a Charlie's Angels shot.
Ooh!
What's a Charlie's Angel?
- Uh, never mind.
Just go back to back.
(clears throat)
- And hon, you might want
to try smiling in this one.
(grunts)
- This isn't working.
I need my tripod.
- Oh, hon, why don't we just
let them get on with the night?
It'll just take five minutes.
- You know
you're not gonna find it.
Yes I will.
I will go help. You two,
you just stay looking cute.
- Okay, I was hoping that
this picture would memorialize our amazing night,
but you've been giving faces
ranging from
sad and scared to looking like
you want to puke.
- I'm just anxious
to get to prom.
- Uh-huh, and Titanic
was anxious to get to America.
Fine.
I turned down my offer
from U of W to
run the new music program and
they're hiring someone else.
Oh.
- I just don't know
if I'm going to be able to face everyone tonight.
They're all gonna be talking
about what great things
they're gonna be doing
next year and
What am I even gonna say?
- Why do you care so much
about what everyone else thinks?
Because I'm human.
- Let's forget about
the worrying for one night
and just go and have some fun.
(birds chirping)
I'm sorry, Tyler.
I don't think I can.
Are you serious?
Holly, Holly!
(soft music)
(soft music)
Oh, shoot!
Holly?
- Hi.
(chuckles)
(sighs)
What are you doing here?
- Can't a girl visit
her best friend?
Shouldn't you be at prom?
- This isn't how I imagined
the end of high school.
(scoffs)
Tell me about it.
Why does everyone make such
a big deal out of prom anyway?
It's just
a glorified dinner dance.
- Yeah, with tons of extra
pressure, because apparently,
it's supposed to be one
of the most memorable nights of our lives.
Yeah.
Who decided that?
Annoying people.
You know, dates.
And bright futures.
- And friends
that aren't mad at them.
- And killer outfits that don't
pinch in all the wrong places.
- But for everyone else,
it's just a reminder
of all the ways
they don't stack up.
All the ways
you're not good enough.
I totally ruined
my future, Ames.
And I don't think I can fix it.
- You just always have to
one up me, huh?
(chuckling)
(sighs)
I don't know, I just
I thought we'd all finish
high school
and move on to the next chapter
and I was kind of relieved
when I got banned from prom,
perfect excuse not to go.
(horse neighs)
And now,
I just hate that I've hurt
Savannah's feelings.
Oh
(sighs)
And you know what's worse?
Even though we're ditching prom,
we're always
gonna remember that we had a terrible time not going.
I know! Right?
(sighing)
So, how do I fix things?
(sighs)
(rhythmic music)
Hey.
How do I look?
- Stunning! Vibrant, a little
slow, but that's fine.
Okay, there's no teachers
at the table, so if we go now, we can sneak you in.
(♪)
Hi, Holly Hobby and a guest.
Ooh, you should choose
a song for your entrance,
really make a moment of it.
You know Savannah
loves that kind of stuff.
I can talk to the DJ.
Yeah?
- How about
that classic Drake song, "Hold On, We're Going Home".
Mister Alton.
(♪)
Please. Can Amy just come in
for like, an hour, tops?
Letting you into prom
sort of defeats the whole
purpose of banning you from prom, doesn't it?
- I'm sorry my attempt
to save the world ruined
the school-sanctioned
fundraiser,
but if you don't
let me into prom,
I might ruin something
even bigger.
- I'm sorry, Miss Abbasi,
are you threatening me?
- I just have
to tell someone in there that she's important to me
and if I don't do it tonight,
I might never have the chance.
So, please,
I just need five minutes.
- And would letting
you in set a good example for the other students?
Admittedly, it wouldn't,
but please
Well, then, my verdict stands.
I'll see you at graduation,
Miss Abbasi.
(soft music)
Come on.
(soft music)
Well, that's that.
High school ends
not with a bang,
but with a whimper.
At least it's nice
to know that there's always one thing we can count on.
Oh, that's so sweet.
- I meant the fries,
but our friendship will do too.
Oh, rude!
(laughs)
(door opens, closes)
(footsteps approaching)
Hey.
Hi.
I'm gonna go for a walk.
What are you doing here?
You said prom was stupid.
I know.
- And because I cared about it,
you made me feel like I was stupid.
I know.
- Then, why did you try
and sneak into it?
- Because it was important
to you!
And you're important to me.
- I just wanted to spend
prom night with you.
- Now I've wrecked
it for the both of us.
- You didn't wreck it,
because it's still prom night.
And we're together.
And I have something
that you might want.
(laughing)
Chips and chocolate!
A perfect pair.
(laughing)
Cheers!
(♪)
Waiting to hear from someone?
- You never responded
to my text.
I thought you were mad
at me for bailing.
I was.
I don't
I don't like thinking
of the future,
because for a long time,
I wasn't sure I had one.
Then I realized I wasn't taking
your problem seriously, so
You know, if you want to think
about other jobs or
brainstorm things
to tell your parents
No.
No, not now.
I can start worrying about
all that again tomorrow.
Tonight can we just dance?
- Just as long as you don't run
away before the song
Shh
(soft music)
The whole point of tonight is
to not worry about the future.
