Holly Hobbie (2018) s05e10 Episode Script

Why are endings so hard?
Is it the pressure to find
the perfect way
to commemorate the journey?
Is it because it's hard to find
the right words to express
all of the emotions that have
built up over time?
This is probably why I just let
my songs fade out,
so that technically,
they never have to end.
Mm, busting out the gel pens?
You must be working on
something important.
- Yup, summer bucket list
for Amy and I.
We are going to squeeze
every single last drop of joy
out of summer before
she leaves for Columbia.
Camp out at the creek.
Make scrap books for every year
of our friendship.
Craft recipe for the perfect
breakfast sandwich? Mm.
- I already did that, it's
called the bacon belly buster.
- (door opening)
- That sounds delicious.
- Sounds like a heart attack.
- Hey, the wildflower honey
is finally jar'd up.
Wanted to give you
a sneak preview.
And great news everyone.
I mean, it only took me
a million years,
but I finally found our tree.
- Ooh.
- What's this about a tree?
- Mom and Dad plant a tree for
their kids when they're born.
That patch of holly out back,
that was for me.
- And I got that nice
purple heather.
And what about Robbie?
- Mine's the big oak
by the pond.
- I guess there's no plant
named Robbie.
(chuckling)
So, what tree did you buy?
I mean, could it be maple?
Or juniper?
Nice try, honey, but no one
finds out the name of the baby
until she's born.
The nursery is two hours away,
so if I leave now I think
I can make it back by dinner.
Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'll go,
despite the fact that you should
not be doing any heavy lifting
and you just got off bed rest,
it is also my job
to get the baby's tree.
- Something has to be.
Have you done anything
to get ready for this baby?
- Holly, can you look after
the Calico today?
- Yeah, yeah of course.
Ooh, I'll even see if Amy
can join and we can work
on our sandwich.
- But what about the
Collinsville Children's club,
don't you work today?
Oh, uh
That actually, that doesn't
start until next week.
- Oh. Great.
- Great, hm.
(breathes deeply)
- We've had so many amazing
times here.
And we'll make a bunch more.
I've been working on
a summer bucket list.
I know, I know, it looks
like a lot, but I know that
if we focus,
we can totally get it done.
I got a summer job.
At Columbia.
I contacted this professor doing
research on plant based power.
And he said he liked my moxie,
whatever that means.
I'll probably just be washing
test tubes.
- Okay, okay. So then we'll just
have to squeeze it in
and get it all done before
you leave. Which is when?
Monday.
But it's already Saturday.
- Look, I need to finish
packing, but
I'll come over as soon
as I'm done.
Then we'll get to
bucket listing. Okay?
Promise.
(door opening)
- Hey.
- Hey.
What's wrong?
I'm a terrible friend.
Amy just got this huge job
in New York and I should be
thrilled for her,
but I'm not. I'm--
Jealous?
- It just feels like everyone
is on track to get
their happy ending except me.
- How many breakfast specials do
you usually sell in a day?
- Maybe 20?
- Okay.
I'll take it all.
Come on, let's get out of here.
- I'd have to be home before
the dinner rush, but
(chuckles)
Tyler, where would we even go?
- It's not up for us to decide,
it's up to the universe.
Heads we go right,
tails we go left.
You in?
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 ♪
Nice of you two to join me.
- To be honest,
I had an ulterior motive.
- Grandpa, why is there
a tackle box back here?
- Well, I thought we could
stop on the way,
I know a great little spot
not too far off the highway--
- No, no, no.
We have to pick up the tree.
We will. But look at yourself,
you're run ragged,
going from farm to restaurant.
It's my dream job, Dad.
And we're just starting
to turn a profit.
- The nursery
won't close for hours.
- He makes a compelling
argument.
- Then, when you return home
with the tree, you're a hero.
A relaxed hero.
- Ugh, alright.
Where's the exit?
- Yay!
- Whoo!
- Alright.
- Whoo! Fishin'!
- I think it's comin' up here
on the right.
- Tails.
- Then left we go.
(sighs)
- You know, I'm on to you,
Flaherty.
You're trying to show that
no matter how many bad decisions
I make, I'll still end up
somewhere beautiful.
- Mm, honestly?
I was just looking
to spend some time with you.
(scoffs)
And hope that there was a
waterfall nearby and you'd think
the universe was telling you
that it's gonna be okay.
See? I knew it.
- Bad plan?
- Yeah, kind of.
Especially since there's
no waterfall in Collinsville.
(chuckles)
Ugh, what is that smell?
Skunk?
Dump.
I guess that that's the message
the universe has for me.
My life is garbage.
- Or the universe is
telling you that we should stop
playing this stupid game
and go get some ice cream.
- I should probably go back.
- Wait.
Remember what your grandma said?
Do what makes you happy.
- Yeah. She loved baking,
that's why she started the cafe.
So how about you?
What makes you happy?
(sighs)
Helping people?
Volunteer somewhere.
- Like you're doing
in South America?
- Yeah, Peru,
and building a school.
And then we're gonna build
some wells for clean water.
- You know, my parents
might actually go for it.
I could give back to the world
while seeing more of it.
And we could do it together.
That part sounds pretty good.
(phone vibrating)
Sorry.
Oh, no.
What?
It's my Mom.
- I thought that sucker
was gonna pull you
right back into the river.
- What are you talking about?
I was in complete control.
Oh, are you kidding me?!
They're closed?
- I thought it was open until 8?
(sighs)
- Except on Saturdays.
Aw, man!
Katherine's gonna kill me!
- Wait, wait, I think I might
see the tree.
Yeah, this is it. It's got Mom's
name on it and everything.
It's right here.
Yeah. Oh great.
- Okay, give me a boost, Robbie.
- Hey, whoa, whoa!
What are we, just gonna break in
and steal it?
- You said Katherine paid
for it, it's your property.
- You can't steal
your own property.
Oh, boy.
Alright, give me your foot.
(grunts)
- Mom, I can explain--
- Why you decided to close
the restaurant down
in the middle of the afternoon?
Because do you know that
you'll get fired
from your new job if you pull
something like this.
They can't.
What?
- Because they decided to go
in a different direction.
- But you, I mean,
you turned down your offer
- at the University of Wisconsin.
- Yes, I know, I know.
- Holly, we agreed that you need
to make a solid plan.
- Why are you putting all
this pressure on me?
- Because, honey, I don't want
you to make a mistake
that you can't take back.
- What, like you did?
- What?
- You became a lawyer so that
you could affect change
but then you just worked
at the pickle factory
so that you could be close
to Dad.
And then, you quit your job
in Madison
because of us and now
that we're all grown up,
and you can finally go
after what you want,
you're having another baby.
(water splashing)
Okay. Uh
What's happening?
My water just broke.
- (grunting)
- Dad, you gotta lift your side.
- I am lifting my side,
this bucket's really heavy.
- It feels like you're making it
heavier somehow.
- What is it, oak?
(grunting)
Put it down.
Okay, what's plan C?
(alarm blaring)
- Uh, try not to get tossed into
jail for breaking and entering?
- Ugh.
- Okay, well,
what if we use the tree
as a battering ram
and then broke
through the fence?
- What the--
(phone ringing)
(sighs)
Oh man.
Hey, hey. Is everything okay?
Uh, when? When?
Like ten minutes apart?
Or actually ten minutes apart?
Okay, okay, um, yes.
The tree, the tree.
It's right here, I've got it,
it's right here beside me.
Listen, everything's gonna be
okay. I'll be home soon.
I love you too.
(sighs)
Katherine's in labour.
Oh dear.
Oh dear?
It's your fault
that we're stuck in here
and I'm gonna miss the birth
of my child
and all you can muster up is,
"Oh dear"?
- Hold on now,
how is it my fault?
- Because you insisted
that we go fishing!
- I just wanted to spend
some time with you.
- That would be great if you had
done that 20 years ago!
(sirens approaching)
- Robbie, help your father
over the fence.
- Well, what about the cops?
- I'll stay and handle them!
- Now if you're gonna go, go!
- What about the tree?!
- Mom needs you Dad, come on.
- Go!
- Robert!
- Heather.
- Hey, I got ice chips,
clean towels
and lots of ice cream.
What is the ice cream for?
- Me!
- Good luck Mrs. Hobbie.
- Oh.
- What the heck?
- Thank you, cutie pie.
- Ugh.
- Are you sure you don't want
to go to the hospital?
- No, no, no, I'm gonna have
the baby here,
just like I had all
the rest of you. It's fine.
- So, Holly and I have to
deliver little Lilac ourselves?
- It's not Lilac.
- Worth a shot.
- Okay, baby's coming, okay.
What do you need?
- What I need from you
in particular?
Ooh, I'm gonna need you
to really take a good,
long hard think about
your future. Okay?
We're still 50 miles away,
I can't believe I'm not there!
Ugh, can't you go any faster?
- Dad, the last thing
we want right now is
to get pulled over for speeding.
Ugh.
You're not like grandpa
if that's what
you're worried about.
You always put us first.
I've just been so busy lately,
I hardly even helped your Mom
get ready for the baby.
- Dad, I've always felt like you
were there for me.
We're lucky to have you.
And Willow will be too.
Yeah, if we ever get home.
- And it's not Willow.
- Aw! I thought I had it.
Okay, you get five miles over
the speed limit and that's it.
- Five?
- No more.
- Okay, that midwife better
hurry up,
because I am not good
with blood.
- There's gonna be blood?
(doorbell rings)
Oh, thank goodness.
Pizza.
- Guessing you don't know
how to deliver a baby.
- I know how to deliver a pizza.
The baby's coming now?
What are we gonna do?
- I thought we were gonna have
an all night movie marathon
because that's number five
on our bucket list but
Let's just stay calm
and distract ourselves
until your Mom needs us.
- Okay.
(heavy breathing)
- Breathe, breathe.
- Watch TV. Yeah. Watch TV.
(TV announcer): Next up, kids
today will never experience
the same success
as their parents.
- Yeah, that's nope.
Skip that.
(indistinct voices
on television)
(TV announcer): Justin Lewis,
best known--
- Wait, wait, stop.
- For his role in tween sitcom
"This Just In," is about to tell
us how he went from kid actor
to having an album that has
the entire music
industry excited.
- Are you sure
you wanna watch this?
(Justin): Music saved me.
When my parents got divorced,
music helped me make sense
of my struggles with anxiety.
My first single is called,
"All the Things I Couldn't Say."
- That sounds like a letter
to a girl.
Two girls, actually,
but not the way that you think.
Let's have a listen.
I had my head held high ♪
Had you all thinkin'
I was fine ♪
I was breaking down inside ♪
But how could you ever
have known ♪
I kept my feelings
on the low ♪
Like a ticking bomb
ready to blow ♪
I just had to say something
here goes nothing ♪
Um, hello.
(Justin): What are you doing
this summer?
- Aren't you literally in
an interview right now?
- It's pre-recorded.
Oh. Got it.
- I wanted to call like
a million times.
I couldn't have written
this song without
all the stuff you taught me.
Come to New York
and write with me again.
A couple of our songs are
on the album,
we only need a few
more tracks to finish.
It has to be you.
Unless you have something
better lined up.
Heather, Holly, it's time.
Can I call you later?
My Mom is literally
about to have a baby.
- Of course. Give my love
to Mamma Hobbie.
- (door opens)
- Okay, bye.
Holly. This is perfect.
- Hush little baby don't say
a word. Where's your mother?
Upstairs.
Makes sense. Okay,
midwife is coming up the drive,
tell her where we are.
I'm coming, Katherine!
- Okay.
- Towels.
- Okay, alright, let's
Okay, I'll get the midwife.
Let's go, let's go, go, go!
Felt like home ♪
(birds chirping)
- Oh, do you think everything's
going okay in there?
It's pretty quiet.
- Wait, I think
I hear something.
(sighs)
- You guys wanna meet
your baby sister?
(joyful chuckling)
(laughing)
(excited chatter)
(indistinct whispering)
No, you're both wrong.
You're wrong and you're wrong.
(baby cries)
Ladies and gentlemen,
introducing
Baby Hazel.
Hazel.
How did I not guess that?
(chuckles)
Do you wanna hold her?
- Yeah.
- Wanna hold your sister?
This is your sister.
There you go.
I'm so sorry, Mom.
No, sweetie.
- I'm gonna go prep some food
for tomorrow.
And shouldn't take too long.
- Heather and I will help,
it'll go faster.
- Hey, hey, but when you're
done, can we go plant the tree?
- Are you sure you're up
for that?
Honey, we always do it
on the day that they're born.
- Yeah
- Thanks, sweetie.
You know, Holly, you were right.
I did give up some big dreams
and I put them on hold.
But it wasn't a mistake because
I was really lucky I got raise
three healthy, happy
and caring children.
You're an amazing mom.
Thank you.
And I really, when I,
you know
I project my fears
onto my children.
(sighs)
And Holly, please just know
that I just
I want you to have it all.
I think I may be able to.
Justin just called.
He wants me to come write
with him in New York.
(laughs)
- That sounds like a dream
come true.
I know, right?
But is it still your dream?

(chuckling)
- So, this is my new
granddaughter?
- Her name is Hazel.
- She's lucky to have you.
You know, if I had had a mentor
like you when I was growing up,
I think I would have made
wiser decisions.
(car pulling up)
Oh, there they are.
- Oh, they're here!
We can plant the tree.
(sighs)
- There's something
I gotta tell ya.
- That this little tree
of yours is gonna do better
in the sun and I'm thinking
down by the pond.
- Bob. What would
we do without you?
Alright, family. Let's roll.
- Robbie, grab that tree.
- You got it.
(grunts)
(chuckles)
- Uh, I'm sorry about
what I said earlier.
Hey, um, how did you
Nah, no one's gonna toss
a confused old grandpa
in the slammer.
(laughing)
(soft music)
I'm gonna miss you so much.
- We'll be in New York
soon, right?
- I told Justin no.
I'll still be helping him write,
but writing for him
full time in New York,
it just doesn't feel right.
- Because you're
not saving the world?
So, you're gonna go volunteer
with Tyler, yeah?
- If I do that,
am I just running away?
Sit.
I have an idea, but
It's big.
Like, it almost
seems impossible.
- I was right here
when you came up
with that idea for the open mic.
Then I watched you
make it happen.
- With your help.
- Alright, let's hear it.
What's your big idea?
- Okay, so, I've been
thinking
Be the you inside ♪
- If you want to
achieve something,
you need to believe in yourself.
That's way easier to do
when someone else
believes in your first.
Be the change
Be the change ♪
Gotta be the change ♪
(applause)
(Justin): Ellie, you've come
so far.
That was great.
- Oh my gosh, Justin Lewis said
I was great!
- Aw!
(laughing)
You were all great.
And remember, if any of you
want to reach out
to ask more questions,
you know how to reach me.
Congratulations!
Thank you so much, Justin,

I think the kids enjoyed it.
