Émission TV: South of Nowhere - 3x16
Too slow.
Too fast.
Too country.
Too gay.
Okay, we're done.
I'm sorry, Ashley.
These songs just aren't working for me.
Then neither am I.
Look, guys!
Guys, just chill.
It's after 2.
I'd just crash for a little while.
Everything'll look better in the morning.
She won't.
Just stay.
You can crash here, and I'll bunk with Kyla.
You're not trying to turn her, are you?
Not tonight!
Don't drool on my sofa.
Hey!
Kyla's got a guy in there.
A guy?
What guy?
I think Kyla's the one who turned him.
Into what?
So, the museum was actually pretty amazing.
And, you know, totally not boring.
I think that I might actually get modern art.
Yeah, but I still don't.
I don't know if I can date somebody who doesn't get a big blue canvas filled with blue.
That's too bad, because you're a really good kisser.
Oh my God!
They said yes?
Who?
L'Acad�mie Verlaine is this French Art School in Paris.
After Clay and the baby I haven't...
You turned down their offer, I remember.
I called them after I won the memorial contest and they reopened my file.
That is totally amazing, Chelsea!
What?
Oh my God!
I can't wait for you to show all those snobby French artists your paintings.
Totally kick out their mustached asses.
If I'd thought they would've considered me this late, I'd never...
Hey!
There's no need to explain anything.
We didn't exactly expect this to start.
I wish I could have you and Paris.
Really?
Because, I mean...
I could always come with you.
Where?
To Paris?
I mean, I live with my parents and I work at Sports Time.
What's really keeping me here?
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Oui.
French?
Yeah, I sort of took it in freshman year to pick up chicks.
How's that working for you?
I'm in love with Chelsea and she loves me, too.
You know, she's got big dreams for her future, and, yeah I haven't figured all my own, yet but If she's moving to Paris, then so am I!
Okay, Glen.
Hold on a second.
We understand that you love her, okay?
But there you go again.
Taking quick decisions without considering the fall-out.
Mike Moncher at my office was just telling me that the rec center is looking for a new basketball coach.
That'd be a great job for you!
And look, I...
We can't financially support you while you're running round with Chelsea.
Look, I'd be taking classes.
And I'll get a job.
You know, I'll live frugally.
I'll eat rice and beans in France.
Where will you live?
With Chelsea.
You know you need a visa.
I'll get one for the first six months for being a student, and then I'll reapply for the next semester.
You have thought this through.
That's Chelsea.
She's the reason I think things through.
I'm gonna go ahead an just let you guys process all this.
Let me go get a new passport.
See you later.
He can't do his own laundry, but he can plan a transatlantic migration?
Hey!
Isn't that Ashley's camera?
Yeah.
She let me borrow it.
I don't know what I'm gonna do with this.
My senior project is due tomorrow and I don't have a beginning, a middle or an end.
Cool.
That's the way most films are.
Just call it art.
When you show it, wear black.
They'll think you're a genius.
I'm sure some Hollywood sleaze will fawn all over you and try to woo you with his fancy parties...
And you'll leave me for Portia De Rossi and yearn each Hollywood story...
Always looking at the dark side.
That's me.
This is so nice, having breakfast together.
It is, isn't it?
Wouldn�t it be nice to have breakfast together every morning?
Oh, God!
I forgot I'm supposed to interview Glen.
Why is it that whenever I bring up the future, you always have some way of avoiding the subject?
Well, I'm not avoiding it.
It's just that I...
It's just that you suddenly have to interview Glen out of nowhere?
You always tell me that I'm the one who's afraid of commitment.
I feel like you're the one who's actually afraid...
What's wrong?
Am I your first, or am I your forever?
Are you staying or are you leaving?
Am I just some high school fling, or do we actually have a future together?
Look, I wanna talk about all this.
I do!
It's just that I'm graduating in two days.
And my movie isn't finished.
Alright?
I don't...
Yeah, your movie.
Look, I really do wanna talk, Ash.
It's just...
Right now, the timing is...
Alright, just go and interview Glen.
Okay.
Hey!
Hey!
What's with the 90201 wheels?
You know, I bought it cheap off this guy who fixes up old gas guzzlers and converts them.
It runs on vegetable oil.
You know, the best part is, you drive it, it smells like French fries.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Well, I figured you're out here saving the world everyday, the least I can do is buy a car that doesn't melt the polar ice caps.
Well, I know.
It doesn't quite have the sex appeal of a bike.
No, actually it's a whole lot hotter.
Yeah?
And it's got room on the back seat for two.
Look, I just...
I just got tired of cheating death all the time, you know.
I figured it was time for a change.
Hey!
What's up?
I went to an office today that handles the study roster grids, and they might be able to hook me up for some sort job or out there.
And my dad gave me the number of an old college roommate who rents studios by the left bank.
And I got us some fromage.
You know, it smells kinda gnarly, but I'm pretty excited about it.
You got that?
Yep.
You know, I got the widest size, not that you have a big head or anything but, you know, I figured some days it's probably gonna have to fit it over your frills.
It's perfect!
What's wrong?
Don't.
I just...
I always had this vision of moving to Paris, and buying myself a beret, you know.
Well, no worries.
This one can be mine.
You know, I was kinda thinking about buying one anyways.
But I thought that might be a little bit lame.
Yeah, but the thing is I've had a lot of visions like that.
Well, that's good!
We'll do them together.
It's like you have our whole lives planned out over there, and Paris is all I've ever dreamt about since I was like, five.
And I just...
What are you saying?
Paris is a chance for me to be somebody new.
To reinvent myself.
And I just feel like, if you're there, then the old me is there.
Well, I like the old you.
Just say it, okay?
Don't make me sit here and listen to this.
I don't want you to come.
Okay!
And three, two...
Do you ever get that not so fresh feeling?
Stop it, Glen!
Come on, do you want me to do the hair club from Maybelline?
Hey, I wouldn't know how to joke about that.
You know grandpa George went bald at 20?
Come on, just be serious.
Okay?
Why does it even matter?
You already got into, like, 10 colleges.
It's not about college, Glen.
It's about the rest of my life, okay?
I mean, how am I gonna have a future in film making if I can't even make a 3 minute movie?
3 minutes?
Yeah.
Dude, how many hours of footage do you have on your laptop?
I don't know, like 30 hours or something.
Yeah.
You are so screwed!
Stop.
Okay, let's just start again!
Hey!
Hm?
Try this.
Needs more salt.
Remember when she was this age?
My little ballerina.
She never left the house without her tutu on.
That's right!
Chelsea, what a surprise!
I know, and I know you guys are probably mad at me, too.
Not that you'd be "mad" mad, because you always said that Paris would be great for me.
But I just hope you don't feel I led Glen on, because I didn't, I promise!
And I...
Hey, hey!
Back up.
Glen didn't tell you guys?
Glen!
Chelsea's here.
Tell her I'm not here.
He says to say he's not here.
Glen, I thought you outgrew your idiot stage.
Thank you.
Thank you for your support.
Look, it's just that you've got this really good thing going with this amazing girl, and you're just gonna give it up?
I said I would go to France with her.
And she turned me down, okay?
Well, maybe you just need to find your own futures before you can have one together.
Where did you get that?
A bumper sticker?
Look, Glen, she has the right to go.
By herself.
Without your judging her.
It's not that.
She made me fall in love with her.
She reeled me in, and now it feels like she's...
Like she's throwing me back.
How do you do that, Spence?
How do you walk away from the person you're in love with?
It's Paris.
It's the city of lights!
It's the best art program in the world!
Wow!
Chels, try this.
And I've never been outside the US before, so it'll be really great for me to get that kind of experience.
Oh yeah, absolutely!
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
One more time.
A little too much salt.
Sorry.
Back to the drawing board.
They're for the pre-graduation dinner at Ashley's lounge.
You will be there, won't you?
Yeah.
I'm supposed to go with Glen, but...
Well, Chelsea...
Look, I want you to know, no matter what happens between you and Glen, you are always family.
Thanks.
I needed to hear that.
Last one.
Glen will come around.
Thanks.
What do you think you're doing?
I've found the song I wanna record.
Yeah, I found it in the CD player.
It's so awesome, Ashley!
Find something else.
She's really good.
You should hear her.
Yeah, well I wrote that song for Spencer.
And some things are just sacred.
Your love life doesn't interest me.
But the song does.
No wonder Ethan thinks you're talented.
Oh, please!
Flattery may get you favors from jocks, but it's not gonna work with me.
I'm not gonna do it.
Where're you going?
If you're no gonna give me your best material, I'm just gonna find another song writer who will.
Glen.
Hold on!
Hey!
Chelsea was here.
What's going on with you two?
She's going to Paris without me.
That's what's going on.
Glen!
Dad, I don't wanna be late for work.
It's okay.
Oh yeah, I'll just call my boss and tell him my dad said it was okay to be late.
It'll just take a second.
Come here.
You know, when your mom and I met, we were in high school.
and everyone said we were too young, we had problems...
Yeah, and then you lived happily ever after, I know the story.
No, not that simple.
A lot of bumps along the road.
You always do when you're young.
I mean, you try to figure yourself out.
On top of that, you've got to figure each other out.
How're we supposed to do that when we're living on two totally different continents?
Glen, you deserve to have a life on your own.
Not to be an accessory of someone else's.
Chelsea deserves the same thing.
Do you really want here to leave on a bad note?
Hello!
Paula?
Spencer?
Is anybody home?
'Congratulations!
We are pleased to welcome you to the fall class' 'of Worthington University.
' I smell cookies!
They're for the party tomorrow.
You bake?
I'm a fountain of untapped talent.
Just what this place needs.
More talent.
I'm sorry about the song.
I didn't know that it was about Spencer.
No, stop.
It's still okay.
It's not even your fault.
It's okay.
It was a bad idea to begin with.
Madison and I working together?
Come on!
You should do your own stuff.
That's the thing, though.
I like the idea of writing songs for other people to sing.
Songs for guys, songs for girls.
Plus, you get royalties, like, forever.
And the best part is, you don't have to deal with the paparazzi.
Well, it sounds like you've got it all figured out.
Yeah, that's me.
Hey, what's wrong?
Spencer was accepted into Worthington and she didn't even tell me.
That she was gonna ditch you for some fancy school in Boston?
She's gonna take those theory classes about slam poetry.
Whatever.
Yeah.
I mean, I get it.
No, hey!
You don't have to play the martyr with me.
It totally blows.
Yeah, it does.
You know, we're a lot alike.
We're not thinkers.
We're doers, and It's not as if we always do the right thing.
What was that?
I mean, come on!
If she's leaving anyway...
You know you want to.
No strings.
Easy.
These apples look a little too bright for me.
Oh my God, Boz!
You're looking good!
Me?
What happened to you?
I got an internship at CBMB.
Is that a record label?
No, it's an accounting firm.
Look, I'll be learning from the ground up while taking some credits over at Cal State.
But what happened to DJ Boz?
You can think of me as CPA Boz, now.
I'm sorry, I just can't believe the new you!
Everybody's changing, Spencer.
If you stop growing, you die.
Sometimes it's on the outside, sometimes it's on the inside.
But We're all on the precipice.
You know?
Do you mind talking to me for just a second?
Sure.
Hey, Amy!
Bye!
That's Amy.
She spent six months at the ashram.
What do you do at the ashram?
You work, you pray, you meditate.
Okay, it sounds good to me.
You've to wake up at 4 in the morning.
That could be a deal breaker.
It's like a place that you go to when you feel lost.
I feel pretty lost, now.
I mean, I thought I knew what my future was.
But Clay probably did, too.
Do you think that he would've been better off if he knew that he was gonna die young?
I don't know.
I don't know, I...
It just feels like a big, blank page.
I don't have a clue as to what comes next.
It's okay, neither do I.
Well, that's a relief!
But I do know one thing, though.
Oh yeah, what's that?
You may not realize it yet, but one day, I'm gonna wake up an be Kyla Dennison.
Excuse me.
I know it's crazy, I know!
we're not even, like, officially going out and we haven't even slept together, but...
No, no.
It's...
It's not that.
What?
This is a total d�j� vu.
Except when you were telling me this, we were in Vegas.
Come on in!
Okay.
Before you say anything, I've been an ass.
But it was only because I've never felt this way about anybody before.
and I thought that maybe I could protect myself by being mad at you.
Then I realized that it doesn't matter if you're here, or or on the Moon.
I'm still gonna love you.
It's just, I needed you to know that before you left.
Wow!
I didn't know you had so many romantic speeches in you.
Yes, it's sort of becoming my new thing.
Anyways, what are you doing?
Nothing that matters.
Hey!
I left my phone at home but I so really, really just wanted to tell you some good news!
What?
Hello to you, too.
I'm sorry.
For what?
Carmen.
Carmen?
Where is she?
I'm sure she is doing great down at the halfway house that your dad helped her set up with.
She moved?
I kinda kicked her out.
Why?
She made a pass at me.
I should've known.
God, I guess I can't blame you, but Carmen, I agree...
No!
Nothing happened between us!
I mean, I thought about it.
But it was only because I was mad at you for not telling me you were gonna go to Worthington.
Wait, who said I was going to Worthington?
Wait, you're not?
I don't know where I'm going, yet, Ash.
But when I know, I will tell you.
I saw the acceptance letter.
I just assumed...
Yeah, you assumed.
Why couldn't you just ask me?
I just wanna know where you're going.
And I didn't do anything with Carmen because of you.
Why, was it some huge sacrifice not to hook up with some chick just because of me?
No.
Why are you being so mad?
Why are you being so clingy?
I'm dealing with a lot right now.
Having to set up this huge party.
And then all of you guys are graduating and going off to college.
Everything is changing so fast.
I just want at least one thing to stay the same.
I don't want us to change.
Yeah, but everyone changes, Ash!
That's what I came here to tell you.
I've figured out what my movie's gonna be about.
Would you stop talking about the damn movie.
I am trying to make a commitment here and you won't even commit to sticking around!
That's not commitment, it's pressure that I just don't need right now.
You just wanna talk about the future that I'm not part of?
Of course you're part of my future, Ashley!
But right now, the present is really freaking me out.
And I just need you to be here with me.
Can you do that, please?
Hey, don't you think it's kinda funny you and I, hosting a graduation party?
I know.
Do you ever regret just jumping out of high school and getting your HED?
Do you?
Yeah, a little bit.
It's weird seeing everyone getting their cap and kinda graduating.
You know, we could always go to college.
Let's not get crazy!
Hi!
Hello!
How are you?
-Oh my Gosh, Ashley, this is incredible!
Where's Glen?
You know, I haven't seen him whole day.
I think Glen's gonna be a little bit later, Ashley.
Hey, you've got some room for these?
Right over here.
Let me show you guys around!
It's beautiful!
Hey!
Hey!
Look who I found downstairs!
Hey, I hope it's okay that I came?
Yeah, of course.
Come on in!
You look beautiful!
Thanks!
Amazing!
Alright, and here we have Ashley's room.
Spencer, isn't that your robe?
Oh.
Mom, I think I hear Aiden and Madison.
Hey!
I meant to disinvite her.
Oh, come one, do you really have to play Little Miss Enemy today?
She wants to record Dirty Mind.
So?
So, I wrote this song for you!
For us!
I don't wanna give it to her.
Let her have it.
I have you.
Don't I?
Yes, of course you do.
It's okay.
Hey!
Hey!
Sorry we're a little late.
Look who's decided to show!
Does this mean you're not going to Paris?
Oh no, she's going!
She said I could come, too.
But he said no.
No, I've gotta let her do the whole France thing on her own.
Plus I'll be signing up for classes at CC and there are those kids at the rec center who are in dire need of a basketball coach.
Our little boy isn't so little anymore!
Hey Chelsea, you've got paint on your shoulder.
Honey, you've got some, too.
Were you guys painting?
Something like that.
Okay!.First meditating, and now giggling.
What is up with you two?
Nothing!
Nothing.
Yeah, you guys're, like, back together now or what?
No.
No, not at all.
We're just planning a little trip to Vegas.
You won't even be able to gamble there.
What are you gonna do?
We'll find something.
Here, you can have the song.
Thank you!
But I'm retaining protection.
Deal.
Thanks.
Come on.
Okay everyone, it's show time.
Hey everyone, grab a seat.
Waw.
I've never seen this on a TV so big before.
But that's okay.
It'd just probably look better on a cell phone or something.
Anyways, I turned this in yesterday which is a relief because it was sort of a graduation requirement.
And it would suck if you all came today and I wasn't graduating.
But I'm so glad that you're all here because it's about all of us.
We've had a weird year.
We all have.
When this year first started, my brother was thinking about joining the Army, Chelsea was in maternity clothes.
Ashley lived with her mother and Clay was gone.
I had all those possibilities, you know, but I just felt too empty, and I didn't work for it, you know.
So I didn't value it.
You started volunteering at a food pantry.
Yeah!
We stock, like, food for people who can't afford their own.
What did you start doing that?
Well, you know, people who come into the food pantry they're lost, you know.
They've reached the end of their roll.
Were you lost?
Yeah.
Yeah, I was...
I was really lost.
I was lost.
Everyone changes.
If you stop growing, you die.
Sometimes it's on the outside, sometimes it's on the inside, but we're on the precipice.
I told grandma last night that I was gay.
And she wasn't really thrilled.
I mean, the fact that my mom has changed so much just because she loves me...
You know, we had our hard times, but now we're even closer than ever before.
Last year, I I wasn't okay.
About my leg, and the drugs.
I was really a jerk.
I love you.
Friends become enemies, and people you loved you crap on for no apparent reason and you lose everything that you had.
I've even lost someone who I never thought'd leave me.
Okay.
Okay, fine.
Okay, I...
From here on on I promise to forever be supportive.
Thank you.
I love you.
Yeah, you were this cheerleader and hot gal.
You gave it all up to be with Ashley.
It's kinda scary.
Hey, Chels!
I'm serious.
What's up with you and Glen?
It's so crazy but so amazing!
We're not together.
Because every time I'm with you it's better than the time before that.
And when I'm not with you, you're all I think about.
You know, I know I'm more fortunate than most, but I'm not as lucky as I thought I was, and it still sucks.
No!
Spencer!
Aiden stuck around, and that means something.
Aiden's driving me insane!
Why?
Because he broke my heart last year, Spencer!
and it's like dancing!
Shut up.
You know, I've been known to dance a little.
Kyla once tried to...
Kyla got you to dance?
That's right!
You miss being with her?
Maybe.
But I'm a honed grip.
Overall, I just really believe that the power of love can change someone.
Spence, I love you.
Thanks!
That was so sweet.
Spencer, can I just talk to you in private for a minute?
I need to talk to you, too.
Okay, but just let me say what I have to say, and then you can go.
I wanted to apologize for wigging out on you.
No, I totally over-reacted...
Just listen to what I have to say.
I apologize all the time and I never do it right.
So I want to, this time.
I wanted to apologize for trying to hold you back when there is an entire world out there who wants to know who you are.
For pushing you about the future when I'm the one who's scared.
And for your graduation gift being late, just like every other present I've given you!
Gosh!
Wait, but I wanna give you this.
Spashley?!
Okay, wait!
Hold on!
I know it's really cheesy, but do you remember the first time that you realized you were gay?
At the beach.
How could I forget that?
Well, even though we didn't kiss or do anything, I've always kinda considered that our first date.
Because ever since then I haven't been able to get you out of my mind.
Thank you.
I love it!
It's to the loft.
I know that you don't know where you're going yet.
But I do know that I need you.
And I hope that you need me too.
And whenever you go wherever it is that you're going, I hope that with the time you'll still have here that you'll spend every last minute with me.
You don't have to decide right now.
But I'm hoping you'll consider moving in with me.
I thought you'd never ask.
Do you mean that?
Yes.
Because I'm not leaving.
I'm going to UCLA.
Are you serious?
Worthington was just way too expensive.
Plus UCLA has a better film department.
So...
Are you really sure you still wanna give this to me?
Because I may be around for a while.
Yeah, I'm all good with that.
Thank you!
I love you!
I love you, too!
Thank you!
Should we tell your parents?
Maybe tomorrow.
How about a toast, huh?
To Ashley and Spencer!
Absolutely.
Too fast.
Too country.
Too gay.
Okay, we're done.
I'm sorry, Ashley.
These songs just aren't working for me.
Then neither am I.
Look, guys!
Guys, just chill.
It's after 2.
I'd just crash for a little while.
Everything'll look better in the morning.
She won't.
Just stay.
You can crash here, and I'll bunk with Kyla.
You're not trying to turn her, are you?
Not tonight!
Don't drool on my sofa.
Hey!
Kyla's got a guy in there.
A guy?
What guy?
I think Kyla's the one who turned him.
Into what?
So, the museum was actually pretty amazing.
And, you know, totally not boring.
I think that I might actually get modern art.
Yeah, but I still don't.
I don't know if I can date somebody who doesn't get a big blue canvas filled with blue.
That's too bad, because you're a really good kisser.
Oh my God!
They said yes?
Who?
L'Acad�mie Verlaine is this French Art School in Paris.
After Clay and the baby I haven't...
You turned down their offer, I remember.
I called them after I won the memorial contest and they reopened my file.
That is totally amazing, Chelsea!
What?
Oh my God!
I can't wait for you to show all those snobby French artists your paintings.
Totally kick out their mustached asses.
If I'd thought they would've considered me this late, I'd never...
Hey!
There's no need to explain anything.
We didn't exactly expect this to start.
I wish I could have you and Paris.
Really?
Because, I mean...
I could always come with you.
Where?
To Paris?
I mean, I live with my parents and I work at Sports Time.
What's really keeping me here?
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Oui.
French?
Yeah, I sort of took it in freshman year to pick up chicks.
How's that working for you?
I'm in love with Chelsea and she loves me, too.
You know, she's got big dreams for her future, and, yeah I haven't figured all my own, yet but If she's moving to Paris, then so am I!
Okay, Glen.
Hold on a second.
We understand that you love her, okay?
But there you go again.
Taking quick decisions without considering the fall-out.
Mike Moncher at my office was just telling me that the rec center is looking for a new basketball coach.
That'd be a great job for you!
And look, I...
We can't financially support you while you're running round with Chelsea.
Look, I'd be taking classes.
And I'll get a job.
You know, I'll live frugally.
I'll eat rice and beans in France.
Where will you live?
With Chelsea.
You know you need a visa.
I'll get one for the first six months for being a student, and then I'll reapply for the next semester.
You have thought this through.
That's Chelsea.
She's the reason I think things through.
I'm gonna go ahead an just let you guys process all this.
Let me go get a new passport.
See you later.
He can't do his own laundry, but he can plan a transatlantic migration?
Hey!
Isn't that Ashley's camera?
Yeah.
She let me borrow it.
I don't know what I'm gonna do with this.
My senior project is due tomorrow and I don't have a beginning, a middle or an end.
Cool.
That's the way most films are.
Just call it art.
When you show it, wear black.
They'll think you're a genius.
I'm sure some Hollywood sleaze will fawn all over you and try to woo you with his fancy parties...
And you'll leave me for Portia De Rossi and yearn each Hollywood story...
Always looking at the dark side.
That's me.
This is so nice, having breakfast together.
It is, isn't it?
Wouldn�t it be nice to have breakfast together every morning?
Oh, God!
I forgot I'm supposed to interview Glen.
Why is it that whenever I bring up the future, you always have some way of avoiding the subject?
Well, I'm not avoiding it.
It's just that I...
It's just that you suddenly have to interview Glen out of nowhere?
You always tell me that I'm the one who's afraid of commitment.
I feel like you're the one who's actually afraid...
What's wrong?
Am I your first, or am I your forever?
Are you staying or are you leaving?
Am I just some high school fling, or do we actually have a future together?
Look, I wanna talk about all this.
I do!
It's just that I'm graduating in two days.
And my movie isn't finished.
Alright?
I don't...
Yeah, your movie.
Look, I really do wanna talk, Ash.
It's just...
Right now, the timing is...
Alright, just go and interview Glen.
Okay.
Hey!
Hey!
What's with the 90201 wheels?
You know, I bought it cheap off this guy who fixes up old gas guzzlers and converts them.
It runs on vegetable oil.
You know, the best part is, you drive it, it smells like French fries.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Well, I figured you're out here saving the world everyday, the least I can do is buy a car that doesn't melt the polar ice caps.
Well, I know.
It doesn't quite have the sex appeal of a bike.
No, actually it's a whole lot hotter.
Yeah?
And it's got room on the back seat for two.
Look, I just...
I just got tired of cheating death all the time, you know.
I figured it was time for a change.
Hey!
What's up?
I went to an office today that handles the study roster grids, and they might be able to hook me up for some sort job or out there.
And my dad gave me the number of an old college roommate who rents studios by the left bank.
And I got us some fromage.
You know, it smells kinda gnarly, but I'm pretty excited about it.
You got that?
Yep.
You know, I got the widest size, not that you have a big head or anything but, you know, I figured some days it's probably gonna have to fit it over your frills.
It's perfect!
What's wrong?
Don't.
I just...
I always had this vision of moving to Paris, and buying myself a beret, you know.
Well, no worries.
This one can be mine.
You know, I was kinda thinking about buying one anyways.
But I thought that might be a little bit lame.
Yeah, but the thing is I've had a lot of visions like that.
Well, that's good!
We'll do them together.
It's like you have our whole lives planned out over there, and Paris is all I've ever dreamt about since I was like, five.
And I just...
What are you saying?
Paris is a chance for me to be somebody new.
To reinvent myself.
And I just feel like, if you're there, then the old me is there.
Well, I like the old you.
Just say it, okay?
Don't make me sit here and listen to this.
I don't want you to come.
Okay!
And three, two...
Do you ever get that not so fresh feeling?
Stop it, Glen!
Come on, do you want me to do the hair club from Maybelline?
Hey, I wouldn't know how to joke about that.
You know grandpa George went bald at 20?
Come on, just be serious.
Okay?
Why does it even matter?
You already got into, like, 10 colleges.
It's not about college, Glen.
It's about the rest of my life, okay?
I mean, how am I gonna have a future in film making if I can't even make a 3 minute movie?
3 minutes?
Yeah.
Dude, how many hours of footage do you have on your laptop?
I don't know, like 30 hours or something.
Yeah.
You are so screwed!
Stop.
Okay, let's just start again!
Hey!
Hm?
Try this.
Needs more salt.
Remember when she was this age?
My little ballerina.
She never left the house without her tutu on.
That's right!
Chelsea, what a surprise!
I know, and I know you guys are probably mad at me, too.
Not that you'd be "mad" mad, because you always said that Paris would be great for me.
But I just hope you don't feel I led Glen on, because I didn't, I promise!
And I...
Hey, hey!
Back up.
Glen didn't tell you guys?
Glen!
Chelsea's here.
Tell her I'm not here.
He says to say he's not here.
Glen, I thought you outgrew your idiot stage.
Thank you.
Thank you for your support.
Look, it's just that you've got this really good thing going with this amazing girl, and you're just gonna give it up?
I said I would go to France with her.
And she turned me down, okay?
Well, maybe you just need to find your own futures before you can have one together.
Where did you get that?
A bumper sticker?
Look, Glen, she has the right to go.
By herself.
Without your judging her.
It's not that.
She made me fall in love with her.
She reeled me in, and now it feels like she's...
Like she's throwing me back.
How do you do that, Spence?
How do you walk away from the person you're in love with?
It's Paris.
It's the city of lights!
It's the best art program in the world!
Wow!
Chels, try this.
And I've never been outside the US before, so it'll be really great for me to get that kind of experience.
Oh yeah, absolutely!
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
One more time.
A little too much salt.
Sorry.
Back to the drawing board.
They're for the pre-graduation dinner at Ashley's lounge.
You will be there, won't you?
Yeah.
I'm supposed to go with Glen, but...
Well, Chelsea...
Look, I want you to know, no matter what happens between you and Glen, you are always family.
Thanks.
I needed to hear that.
Last one.
Glen will come around.
Thanks.
What do you think you're doing?
I've found the song I wanna record.
Yeah, I found it in the CD player.
It's so awesome, Ashley!
Find something else.
She's really good.
You should hear her.
Yeah, well I wrote that song for Spencer.
And some things are just sacred.
Your love life doesn't interest me.
But the song does.
No wonder Ethan thinks you're talented.
Oh, please!
Flattery may get you favors from jocks, but it's not gonna work with me.
I'm not gonna do it.
Where're you going?
If you're no gonna give me your best material, I'm just gonna find another song writer who will.
Glen.
Hold on!
Hey!
Chelsea was here.
What's going on with you two?
She's going to Paris without me.
That's what's going on.
Glen!
Dad, I don't wanna be late for work.
It's okay.
Oh yeah, I'll just call my boss and tell him my dad said it was okay to be late.
It'll just take a second.
Come here.
You know, when your mom and I met, we were in high school.
and everyone said we were too young, we had problems...
Yeah, and then you lived happily ever after, I know the story.
No, not that simple.
A lot of bumps along the road.
You always do when you're young.
I mean, you try to figure yourself out.
On top of that, you've got to figure each other out.
How're we supposed to do that when we're living on two totally different continents?
Glen, you deserve to have a life on your own.
Not to be an accessory of someone else's.
Chelsea deserves the same thing.
Do you really want here to leave on a bad note?
Hello!
Paula?
Spencer?
Is anybody home?
'Congratulations!
We are pleased to welcome you to the fall class' 'of Worthington University.
' I smell cookies!
They're for the party tomorrow.
You bake?
I'm a fountain of untapped talent.
Just what this place needs.
More talent.
I'm sorry about the song.
I didn't know that it was about Spencer.
No, stop.
It's still okay.
It's not even your fault.
It's okay.
It was a bad idea to begin with.
Madison and I working together?
Come on!
You should do your own stuff.
That's the thing, though.
I like the idea of writing songs for other people to sing.
Songs for guys, songs for girls.
Plus, you get royalties, like, forever.
And the best part is, you don't have to deal with the paparazzi.
Well, it sounds like you've got it all figured out.
Yeah, that's me.
Hey, what's wrong?
Spencer was accepted into Worthington and she didn't even tell me.
That she was gonna ditch you for some fancy school in Boston?
She's gonna take those theory classes about slam poetry.
Whatever.
Yeah.
I mean, I get it.
No, hey!
You don't have to play the martyr with me.
It totally blows.
Yeah, it does.
You know, we're a lot alike.
We're not thinkers.
We're doers, and It's not as if we always do the right thing.
What was that?
I mean, come on!
If she's leaving anyway...
You know you want to.
No strings.
Easy.
These apples look a little too bright for me.
Oh my God, Boz!
You're looking good!
Me?
What happened to you?
I got an internship at CBMB.
Is that a record label?
No, it's an accounting firm.
Look, I'll be learning from the ground up while taking some credits over at Cal State.
But what happened to DJ Boz?
You can think of me as CPA Boz, now.
I'm sorry, I just can't believe the new you!
Everybody's changing, Spencer.
If you stop growing, you die.
Sometimes it's on the outside, sometimes it's on the inside.
But We're all on the precipice.
You know?
Do you mind talking to me for just a second?
Sure.
Hey, Amy!
Bye!
That's Amy.
She spent six months at the ashram.
What do you do at the ashram?
You work, you pray, you meditate.
Okay, it sounds good to me.
You've to wake up at 4 in the morning.
That could be a deal breaker.
It's like a place that you go to when you feel lost.
I feel pretty lost, now.
I mean, I thought I knew what my future was.
But Clay probably did, too.
Do you think that he would've been better off if he knew that he was gonna die young?
I don't know.
I don't know, I...
It just feels like a big, blank page.
I don't have a clue as to what comes next.
It's okay, neither do I.
Well, that's a relief!
But I do know one thing, though.
Oh yeah, what's that?
You may not realize it yet, but one day, I'm gonna wake up an be Kyla Dennison.
Excuse me.
I know it's crazy, I know!
we're not even, like, officially going out and we haven't even slept together, but...
No, no.
It's...
It's not that.
What?
This is a total d�j� vu.
Except when you were telling me this, we were in Vegas.
Come on in!
Okay.
Before you say anything, I've been an ass.
But it was only because I've never felt this way about anybody before.
and I thought that maybe I could protect myself by being mad at you.
Then I realized that it doesn't matter if you're here, or or on the Moon.
I'm still gonna love you.
It's just, I needed you to know that before you left.
Wow!
I didn't know you had so many romantic speeches in you.
Yes, it's sort of becoming my new thing.
Anyways, what are you doing?
Nothing that matters.
Hey!
I left my phone at home but I so really, really just wanted to tell you some good news!
What?
Hello to you, too.
I'm sorry.
For what?
Carmen.
Carmen?
Where is she?
I'm sure she is doing great down at the halfway house that your dad helped her set up with.
She moved?
I kinda kicked her out.
Why?
She made a pass at me.
I should've known.
God, I guess I can't blame you, but Carmen, I agree...
No!
Nothing happened between us!
I mean, I thought about it.
But it was only because I was mad at you for not telling me you were gonna go to Worthington.
Wait, who said I was going to Worthington?
Wait, you're not?
I don't know where I'm going, yet, Ash.
But when I know, I will tell you.
I saw the acceptance letter.
I just assumed...
Yeah, you assumed.
Why couldn't you just ask me?
I just wanna know where you're going.
And I didn't do anything with Carmen because of you.
Why, was it some huge sacrifice not to hook up with some chick just because of me?
No.
Why are you being so mad?
Why are you being so clingy?
I'm dealing with a lot right now.
Having to set up this huge party.
And then all of you guys are graduating and going off to college.
Everything is changing so fast.
I just want at least one thing to stay the same.
I don't want us to change.
Yeah, but everyone changes, Ash!
That's what I came here to tell you.
I've figured out what my movie's gonna be about.
Would you stop talking about the damn movie.
I am trying to make a commitment here and you won't even commit to sticking around!
That's not commitment, it's pressure that I just don't need right now.
You just wanna talk about the future that I'm not part of?
Of course you're part of my future, Ashley!
But right now, the present is really freaking me out.
And I just need you to be here with me.
Can you do that, please?
Hey, don't you think it's kinda funny you and I, hosting a graduation party?
I know.
Do you ever regret just jumping out of high school and getting your HED?
Do you?
Yeah, a little bit.
It's weird seeing everyone getting their cap and kinda graduating.
You know, we could always go to college.
Let's not get crazy!
Hi!
Hello!
How are you?
-Oh my Gosh, Ashley, this is incredible!
Where's Glen?
You know, I haven't seen him whole day.
I think Glen's gonna be a little bit later, Ashley.
Hey, you've got some room for these?
Right over here.
Let me show you guys around!
It's beautiful!
Hey!
Hey!
Look who I found downstairs!
Hey, I hope it's okay that I came?
Yeah, of course.
Come on in!
You look beautiful!
Thanks!
Amazing!
Alright, and here we have Ashley's room.
Spencer, isn't that your robe?
Oh.
Mom, I think I hear Aiden and Madison.
Hey!
I meant to disinvite her.
Oh, come one, do you really have to play Little Miss Enemy today?
She wants to record Dirty Mind.
So?
So, I wrote this song for you!
For us!
I don't wanna give it to her.
Let her have it.
I have you.
Don't I?
Yes, of course you do.
It's okay.
Hey!
Hey!
Sorry we're a little late.
Look who's decided to show!
Does this mean you're not going to Paris?
Oh no, she's going!
She said I could come, too.
But he said no.
No, I've gotta let her do the whole France thing on her own.
Plus I'll be signing up for classes at CC and there are those kids at the rec center who are in dire need of a basketball coach.
Our little boy isn't so little anymore!
Hey Chelsea, you've got paint on your shoulder.
Honey, you've got some, too.
Were you guys painting?
Something like that.
Okay!.First meditating, and now giggling.
What is up with you two?
Nothing!
Nothing.
Yeah, you guys're, like, back together now or what?
No.
No, not at all.
We're just planning a little trip to Vegas.
You won't even be able to gamble there.
What are you gonna do?
We'll find something.
Here, you can have the song.
Thank you!
But I'm retaining protection.
Deal.
Thanks.
Come on.
Okay everyone, it's show time.
Hey everyone, grab a seat.
Waw.
I've never seen this on a TV so big before.
But that's okay.
It'd just probably look better on a cell phone or something.
Anyways, I turned this in yesterday which is a relief because it was sort of a graduation requirement.
And it would suck if you all came today and I wasn't graduating.
But I'm so glad that you're all here because it's about all of us.
We've had a weird year.
We all have.
When this year first started, my brother was thinking about joining the Army, Chelsea was in maternity clothes.
Ashley lived with her mother and Clay was gone.
I had all those possibilities, you know, but I just felt too empty, and I didn't work for it, you know.
So I didn't value it.
You started volunteering at a food pantry.
Yeah!
We stock, like, food for people who can't afford their own.
What did you start doing that?
Well, you know, people who come into the food pantry they're lost, you know.
They've reached the end of their roll.
Were you lost?
Yeah.
Yeah, I was...
I was really lost.
I was lost.
Everyone changes.
If you stop growing, you die.
Sometimes it's on the outside, sometimes it's on the inside, but we're on the precipice.
I told grandma last night that I was gay.
And she wasn't really thrilled.
I mean, the fact that my mom has changed so much just because she loves me...
You know, we had our hard times, but now we're even closer than ever before.
Last year, I I wasn't okay.
About my leg, and the drugs.
I was really a jerk.
I love you.
Friends become enemies, and people you loved you crap on for no apparent reason and you lose everything that you had.
I've even lost someone who I never thought'd leave me.
Okay.
Okay, fine.
Okay, I...
From here on on I promise to forever be supportive.
Thank you.
I love you.
Yeah, you were this cheerleader and hot gal.
You gave it all up to be with Ashley.
It's kinda scary.
Hey, Chels!
I'm serious.
What's up with you and Glen?
It's so crazy but so amazing!
We're not together.
Because every time I'm with you it's better than the time before that.
And when I'm not with you, you're all I think about.
You know, I know I'm more fortunate than most, but I'm not as lucky as I thought I was, and it still sucks.
No!
Spencer!
Aiden stuck around, and that means something.
Aiden's driving me insane!
Why?
Because he broke my heart last year, Spencer!
and it's like dancing!
Shut up.
You know, I've been known to dance a little.
Kyla once tried to...
Kyla got you to dance?
That's right!
You miss being with her?
Maybe.
But I'm a honed grip.
Overall, I just really believe that the power of love can change someone.
Spence, I love you.
Thanks!
That was so sweet.
Spencer, can I just talk to you in private for a minute?
I need to talk to you, too.
Okay, but just let me say what I have to say, and then you can go.
I wanted to apologize for wigging out on you.
No, I totally over-reacted...
Just listen to what I have to say.
I apologize all the time and I never do it right.
So I want to, this time.
I wanted to apologize for trying to hold you back when there is an entire world out there who wants to know who you are.
For pushing you about the future when I'm the one who's scared.
And for your graduation gift being late, just like every other present I've given you!
Gosh!
Wait, but I wanna give you this.
Spashley?!
Okay, wait!
Hold on!
I know it's really cheesy, but do you remember the first time that you realized you were gay?
At the beach.
How could I forget that?
Well, even though we didn't kiss or do anything, I've always kinda considered that our first date.
Because ever since then I haven't been able to get you out of my mind.
Thank you.
I love it!
It's to the loft.
I know that you don't know where you're going yet.
But I do know that I need you.
And I hope that you need me too.
And whenever you go wherever it is that you're going, I hope that with the time you'll still have here that you'll spend every last minute with me.
You don't have to decide right now.
But I'm hoping you'll consider moving in with me.
I thought you'd never ask.
Do you mean that?
Yes.
Because I'm not leaving.
I'm going to UCLA.
Are you serious?
Worthington was just way too expensive.
Plus UCLA has a better film department.
So...
Are you really sure you still wanna give this to me?
Because I may be around for a while.
Yeah, I'm all good with that.
Thank you!
I love you!
I love you, too!
Thank you!
Should we tell your parents?
Maybe tomorrow.
How about a toast, huh?
To Ashley and Spencer!
Absolutely.
