01x28 - We Are the Kraken of Our Own Sinking Ships

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Switched at Birth"...

I think I'm...

Hung up on someone else.

I don't wanna be hung up on him.

Your shift is over.

Good night.

I'm Nikki. Do you have an electric?

Let's rock.

Christian rock?

But I'm not sure how I feel about dating a woman who's technically still on her honeymoon!

Patrick! Come on!

Simone didn't break up with me.

She had sex with Emmett.

Get off!

What the hell is this?

No way.

This guy better watch out that I don't find him, man.

It's on now.

I want this to happen.

Uh, you're here early.

I got lots of chopping to do.

I should, uh...

Look, uh, about the other night.

Yeah.

That can't happen again.

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah.

So, uh...

So.

Are you still seeing Melody?

No, I ended that.

Okay.

Okay.

(Exhales) Okay.

Okay. Um...

Mm-hmm. (Chuckles)

Your hair's worse than mine.

Uh, yeah. Seriously.

I got wheat paste stuck in it a couple of times.

It took like five washes to get it out.

You should just get dreads.

Really?

Like, how would that work?

Dude, I can do it for you.

Sweet!

Yeah.

Or you could cut it all off.

God, I did that once. It was so liberating.

(Bay laughs)

Bay?

Oh. Hey!

How was the luncheon? Um, my mom got this article published in like some parenting magazine and she had to go to this lunch thing.

Uh, sweetie, what's goin' on here?

Why is your car painted funny?

Oh! We're bombing it. Right? Isn't it k*ller?

Hey.

Hi.

(Whispers) Honey...

Oh! Sorry.

This is my friend Zarra. She is also a street artist.

Zarra, these are my parents John and Kathryn.

Hey. What's up? Nice to meet you.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah, you too. Congratulations on your article, Kathryn.

Thank you.

I should probably read it.

Might make me a better mom to my own kids.

Oh.

(Chuckles)

I'm kidding, dude.

(Laughing)

Are you crazy?

You should have seen your face.

You were freaking out.

Oh my God!

You totally got me! I so believed you!

I know, right?

Bay, I really wish you'd talk to us before you painted the car.

Why? It's mine, right?

Uh, well, not really.

I believe it's...

You know what? If you guys are thirsty, you can come inside for some lemonade or iced tea.

All right, awesome. Hey, by the way, I'm gonna get dreads!

Just twist, right?

You've got so much hair.

Bay: Yeah, I know. It's a lot.

More than me.

(Theme music playing)

Regina: Well, okay. Did this girl do anything?

She was just so flippant, so comfortable around us.

(Mocking) "Kathryn".

(Scoffs) And she has these tattoos that are basically saying, "my private parts are flying".

Flying?

She has wings...down there.

But that's not everything.

I think that Bay has figured it out.

Figured what out?

(Sighs) That we, you know...

That we're powerless.

That we don't actually matter.

That's ridiculous. Of course you do.

Not to Bay. Not anymore.

We've tried grounding her, we've tried appealing to her better self, but nothing works.

Kathryn, all you can do is hope you've instilled them with a little sense.

I wouldn't relive Regina's teenage years for anything.

Did she have a friend like this Zarra?

She was that friend.

I wasn't that bad.

So what did you do?

You know what helped at least a little, were those art classes. It gave me something to do besides just hanging out and drinking.

It's true. She won't miss cake if you give her ice cream.

Exactly. You just need to give her another source of sugar shock.

Okay, so I take off my sunglasses and I say in my best James Bond, (British accent) "I do apologize officer, but in England we drive on the left side."

(Weak chuckle)

Oh, sh**t.

I'm doing a British accent and you can't even tell.

I can, however, see the...

Bizarre way you're moving your eyebrows.

(Both chuckling)

You know, I was thinking that me and you should hang out sometime...

Aside from work, like go on a bike ride or, I don't know, shop for hats.

Just anything not food-related.

No food.

Oh, Scuba...

Oh. God.

Okay. Awkward.

I'm just kinda seeing somebody right now.

Right. Um, I should have figured.

Yeah, no problem.

Really. It's, uh... It's cool.

Guys, on the move.

Yes, chef.

Yes, chef.

Honey?

Hey!

So many girls would k*ll to have your hair.

I'm not shaving it off, mom.

You'll never guess who I ran into at the magazine luncheon today.

Alex's parents.

Alex, my boyfriend from the Galapagos' parents?

Turns out they go to the same church as us, which you never mentioned.

Because we haven't gone to church in nine months.

Did you know that Alex is a wonderful singer?

He was the lead in "Annie get your g*n" and "Gypsy".

This is going somewhere I'm not gonna like.

And he's a national merit scholar and he works at a teen line.

We're almost there.

And they're all coming to dinner this Saturday night.

Bingo!

Alex seems like a great kid and you two had a wonderful time this summer.

Mom, we broke up. It's gonna be super awkward!

I invited Regina.

I know exactly why you're doing this.

Your dad and I could use some new friends.

And it'll give you a chance to reconnect with Alex.

That's it.

Mom. Mom!

This is not gonna work!

(Electric guitars playing)

Wait, go back to what you were doing before.

What? Uh, this?

Yeah. Gosh, that is awesome.

I could totally hear that on a lap steel.

Oh, don't tell me you're country, too.

Right. Christian you can handle, but country... That is just over the line.

(Both laughing)

So...

I know that this is way too early, but I really love your playing, and I've been trying to break out of the solo thing.

And there's this battle of the bands coming up next month and... I don't know. I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to work up a few songs or something?

Oh. Um...

It doesn't have to be a thing.

(Sighs) Sorry, I'm freaking you out, aren't I?

No no. Uh, I just...

I recently got out of this band situation that ended kind of weird.

Right.

Well, it's not the right time. I get it.

Yeah, but, you know, we can still hang out, trade songs, go to Roy's.

You know Roy's? I love that place.

They have the best gear, but...

Both: The worst staff.

(Chuckles)

I think I single-handedly kept them in business last year.

Well. Then on behalf of gearheads everywhere...

(Both laughing)

Meg, don't k*ll the tomatoes. Get a sharper Kn*fe.

What?

So let me get this straight.

We're now throwing boys at the problem?

We're not throwing boys at her, we're redirecting her.

We're presenting her with a more attractive option than that girl.

Okay, let me tell you something.

When I was a kid, my dad's word was law.

No negotiating, no redirecting.

You did what you were told...

...or else.

Yeah.

Is that really how you wanna raise Bay and Toby?

I didn't turn out so bad.

(Sighs) And you barely talked to your father after you left home.

(Sighs) Didn't Bay already reject this kid?

Yeah. Well, that's when she was still hurting from Emmett.

Maybe she'll feel differently now.

(Sighs deeply)

Liquor store or groceries?

Bay and Toby are fundamentally good kids.

I know.

I also know that that is largely due to you.

So then trust me on this.

Okay.

(Rock music playing)

Hey! What are you doing?

I'm just looking for my phone.

What's it to you?

Well, I happen to know the owner of this car.

And it's not you.

Uh, yeah. Relax.

I happen to know the owner too.

Hey! (Chuckles)

I got you a mocha.

What are you doing here?

I'm going to work.

Bay: Cool.

I see that you met Zarra.

Yeah, she thought I was trying to boost your car.

(Laughs) Well, you're not.

Uh, so this is Daphne.

Uh, Daphne is the other Kennish-Vasquez.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Are you ready? We should get going.

Yeah, did you get the paint?

Yeah yeah.

I'm good. Let's go.

Okay. Cool.

Hey, have a good night at work and I guess I'll see you at home?

(Music continues)

No! No no no no no.

Oh God.

(Groans)

What's wrong?

Does that look poached to you?

Uh, maybe you can make another batch.

This is everything, Daphne.

All the shrimp?

Maybe we can save it?

As long as chef doesn't see.

He's gonna fire me.

I know it.

Unless you take the b*llet for me.

If you say it was you...

I don't wanna get fired!

Come on, Daphne. He's not gonna fire you.

Why not?

Look, I need this job.

He's gonna be in here any minute.

Please?

Patrick: This was a nice surprise.

I just thought we shouldn't be one of those couples that just drifts apart. - (Chuckles) Well, to be fair, we didn't just drift, we kinda had a giant obstacle thrown in our way.

It's a fake marriage.

And I don't think it's a good enough reason for us to just call it quits.

So you are gonna have to give me something else.

I got nothin'.

Exactly.

I've missed you.

I know.

What are you doing tonight?

Um, I'm supposed to join the Kennishes for dinner.

Mm. With Daphne?

No. Just me.

Kathryn's trying to keep Bay away from this girl that she's been hanging out with. It's a long story.

Socializing with the Kennishes without the kids? Is this a first?

Yeah. I guess so.

Now I really want you to come.

I'm there.

Yay.

What the hell is this?!

What, are we serving shrimp-flavored crap tonight?

Where's Scuba?

Um, right here, chef.

Hundreds of dollars of premium Gulf shrimp that I have to dump in the trash.

So we 86 the shrimp tostada, the shrimp pistou.

We cut the garnish off of the squash soup.

And I better come up with a new way to do the Risotto, huh?

All because my prep cook doesn't know how to poach!

He didn't do it.

I did.

You did?

I told Scuba I'd do it, but I was making the sauce and I just...

I let them overcook.

You know what poaching is, right?

It's knowing how to keep the heat turned to low. That's it.

I know.

So if you can't grasp that, I don't know what the hell you're doing in my kitchen.

Scuba, go tell the manager to take the shrimp dishes off the menu.

Thank you.

Good evening. Pero que guapo.

Oh, thanks. You look nice.

Do I have two dates tonight?

No. Gloria and I are going out for Indian food.

Which Regina hates.

Yes, so I get it as much as I can when I'm out.

And then they're hitting the slots at that riverboat casino.

♪ I'm feeling lucky. ♪

Have fun tonight.

You know, I'm feeling lucky too.

Hmm. Hold that thought.

(Cellphone rings)

Oh! Could you?

Oh, yeah.

Thanks.

Um.

Hey.

(Sighs) How could you forget his name?

You met him, didn't you?

Hang on, I have it written down.

I can't believe you are still this bad at names.

Mosley.

Okay. That's a little weird.

(Chuckles)

Stop it.

No, I'm serious, okay? Stop.

Listen, I gotta go. Dinner plans.

Okay. Bye.

I'm sorry. He, um, can't remember the name of Kathryn's friend that's he's up there working for.

Hey. None of my business, really.

He's just terrible with names.

Really. It's okay.

(Quietly) Okay.

Hi, come on in. It's so nice to see you.

Hi!

Nice to see you.

John, this is Cheryl.

And you must be Ted.

Hi, how are you? This is for you.

Thank you!

Hey, Ted.

Thank you. Oh, and Alex. Hello.

Nice to see you again.

Hey, good to see you.

Hi.

Why don't you come in.

Please.

Oh, what a lovely home.

Bay, they're here!

She'll be down in a second.

Oh, I'm cool. Thanks.

Sorry we're late.

Our youngest had a fencing match.

Oh, wow!

He's fifth in the state.

And you know how colleges love those off-the-beaten-track athletics.

Mm-hmm. - Right right.

Well, I'm sure your kids are doing the same college tap dance.

Yeah.

Yeah yeah.

Dylan does soup kitchen on Thursdays, volunteers at the mayor's office on Saturdays.

It never ends.

Oh.

Well, here she is!

(Nervous chuckle)

Hi.

Hi.

Oh. Well, I can certainly see why Alex can't stop talking about you.

Oh.

(Whispers) Mom.

Hey.

Hey.

Join me for an apéritif?

Yeah... why not?

(Nervous chuckle)

Apéritif. Ha.

Would you like to go in the den?

Sure.

Uh, look. I'm so sorry about all of this.

Oh, it's cool. I was looking for a way to see you again too.

Oh, no! I didn't. Trust me, this wasn't my idea.

Oh.

Oh, no. It's just... My parents are freaking out about some friends of... Mine.

Never mind. Uh...

Uh. Well, I'll just go see what my folks are up to.

(Guitar chord playing)

Hey, bro. Let me know if you wanna plug anything in, all right?

Uh, thanks. I think we're just looking.

Uh, actually, can I see this one up here?

That's a '72 Gibson Les Paul right there.

Pretty heavy sound.

Oh, it's so pretty.

Yes, it is. But looks can be deceiving.

Go easy there.

Oh. Wow, it's heavy.

Well, we do got some Fender squires in the back.

Really melodious. Might be better for you.

(Plays impressive chord)

I think she's done this before.

Right.

You let me know if you need anything else, okay?

Will do.

Having fun?

Come on, I couldn't just let that go. He was too easy.

(Cellphone rings)

"Doodles"?

I know. It's random.

It's my boyfriend, Jed.

Hey!

Can I call you back?

Okay. Cool.

You have a boyfriend.

Yeah.

Huh.

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing. No.

He goes to K.S.A.C.

It's an agricultural college.

He's a farm boy.

(Sighs) Long distance... it kinda sucks, but it is what it is.

Right.

I'm sorry. I guess I should have mentioned that.

Um...

I just didn't find a convenient place to stick it in so it wouldn't sound totally presumptuous.

Can I play something for you?

Try to push past this incredibly awkward moment.

Sure. Why not?

So, turns out, their son was trying to bribe Alex here into taking the S.A.T. for him.

'Cause both of our kids ace standardized tests.

Dad.

Hey, it's true.

It's true. It's one of the hazards of being so bright.

(Weak chuckle)

Huh.

Do you two have children?

Um, no... I mean, yes. But not together.

(Whispers) Well, there's always time.

No. I don't think so.

How long have you been married?

Well, actually, Regina's married...

You know, three months.

Oh. Hey!

Newlyweds!

Yeah, kinda.

Wow!

Congratulations!

Yeah. Congratulations.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Yay.

(Cellphone ringing)

(Chattering)

Bay, no cellphones at the table.

Um. Sorry, I forgot. I had a... You know what?

I'll be right back. Just two seconds.

Honey, no...

Hello?

Zarra: It's me. I'm in the county jail.

What?! You mean, like "jail" jail?

Yeah, I got jumped by Smak and some of his boys.

What do you mean?

Like you were b*at up? Are you okay?

Wait, why were you arrested?

Look, I gotta go. I'll explain it all later, but, um, I need you to come down here and bail me out.

No, of course. I get it.

It's $1500.

That's a lot of money.

But you can pull it together, right?

I, uh... Don't know.

Look, I don't have anybody else to call.

I wouldn't ask you if I did.

I gotta get out of here.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

(Laughter)

No, that's not true!

I swear to God. It really happened.

Hey, sorry about that. It was the wrong number.

You know what? I just got this great idea.

Why don't Alex and I go out for gelato down at the new place by the crossroads?

Well, I made your favorite pumpkin cheesecake, honey.

Yeah, but I can bring back some for everybody.

You love the toasted almond, am I right?

Alex, you game?

Yeah, sure. I mean, if you guys...

Go!

Terrific.

Bring me back some stracciatella.

Have fun!

Bye.

I just came in for some eggs. I can get 'em later.

(Loudly) No, you won't.

We have to talk about that shrimp.

Okay.

(Quietly) I'm sorry I had to yell at you like that.

(Loudly) I really hope to hell it doesn't happen again.

(Quietly) I have to treat you just like any other employee, even though I really want to kiss you right now.

(Loudly) I completely understand.

Good!

And get back to work!

I'm glad we had this talk.

Me too.

Does Toby have anything that he can put on his college applications?

Anything?

He has lacrosse.

Yeah, which he quit.

And the band, which he disbanded.

Yeah, I wanted to do those prodigy CDs when I was pregnant, but you said they were stupid.

And Bay has never done anything at Buckner.

What about the teacher recommendations?

Have we even started on those?

You're having a panic att*ck.

By the way, how could you let her walk around the streets of Kansas City at this time of night?

She's getting ice cream. I don't know...

Oh, hi. I'm so sorry.

We'll be out in a minute.

I was wondering if we could play some music.

Oh. Sure.

Yeah.

Anything in particular?

Well, I teach salsa at K.C.C.C.

And I thought it might be kinda fun to get everyone up and moving.

Oh.

That sounds like fun. Doesn't it, honey?

Yeah, it's great.

I'll just go pop in a CD.

I have a few in my purse.

At least we won't have to hear about their kids anymore.

(Playing a slow melody)

♪ I can't paint ♪
♪ a new picture ♪
♪ with a mind that's mostly full ♪
♪ ohh ohh ♪
♪ as hard as you've made it ♪
♪ as much as I've hated you ♪
♪ you taught me something true ♪
♪ it's time to forget you ♪
♪ this is how I do. ♪

(Music stops)

I hope whoever broke your heart actually got to hear that.

We actually never met.

Um...

It's about the man who sh*t my dad.

Oh, God. I'm...

I'm sorry.

He was parked at the mall and some guy walked up to him and sh*t him.

The police figure that the guy must have thought my dad was somebody else.

That's awful.

The police never found the guy.

So...

I can't believe that's the song that you wrote...

About that.

Well. It's been a couple years and I wrote a lot of angry songs first.

And then I started doing a lot of dr*gs...

And stopped eating.

And then my mom freaked out on me because she was afraid that I was going to die too, like Amy Winehouse or something. (Chuckles)

I just got so tired of letting this horrible thing that happened consume my entire life.

So I decided to let it go.

Just like that.

Mm. Kind of.

I was just so angry all of the time and I didn't even know it.

It was, like, eating me up.

And I just decided to not let it win.

Alex: You know at some point we are actually gonna have to return with gelato.

Bay: There's a $300 limit.

You didn't know that?

Okay, well that's just $1200 to go.

Right? I don't even have $1500.

I... I don't even know what I was thinking.

All right. Well, you clearly don't need me or even know that I'm here, so I'm just gonna let you deal with whatever...

Do you have an account? I will pay you back, I promise.

Are you seriously asking me for cash right now?

You are unbelievable!

What are you doing? You're my cover.

Let me get this straight.

You dump me out of the blue for your ex, then your parents invite me over against your will, thinking I'm some loser who will keep you out of trouble...

They do not think you're a loser.

You use me to ditch dinner and chauffeur you around as you compile a massive amount of money...

First of all, I drove...

For some mystery phone call...

My friend is in jail!

And I need to come up with

$1500 to bail her out.

(Cellphone rings)

Hello?

It's "Eight Ball".

Oh my God, hi. Are you with Zarra?

She's still in. You gotta get her out.

Yeah, um, I'm trying to figure out a way to reach her.

I don't think I can get that kind of money together in one night.

I don't have access to...

Listen.

She's hurt and there are people there who wanna hurt her more.

You gotta figure it out, okay?

You gotta just figure it out.

Okay.

Hey. What happened?

Who was that?

I know you're mad and I get that.

But would you please come with me to one more place?

Thank you.

I can't believe you have a friend named "Eight Ball".

We start with our left. We go forward with our left.

One, two, three... back... five, six, seven.

One, two... other foot... back. Five, six, seven.

What happened to four?

Four is a pause.

Five, six, seven.

Pause.

One, two, three, five, six, seven.

Looking good, ladies!

Good, guys.

"Salsa" means sauce. It's got to be spicy!

And I guarantee if you're good at salsa, you're good at something else.

(All laugh) Oh!

You guys get this down and we'll move on to the mambo.

Don't even joke about that.

Let's try a turn.

A turn?!

One, pivot, three, pivot.

Five, six, seven.

Hey, how come you're so good at this?

I was a cheerleader.

Yes, you were...

Hey, sweetie, get the music. Should we get the music?

John and Patrick: No! No!

Regina and Kathryn: Yes!

Yes, music!

It'll all makes sense when we do it, okay?

Partner up like I showed you.

Gina: Okay, okay.

Oh boy.

You ready?

It's a piece of cake. You got it.

Okay, so we'll do one basic...

(Salsa music playing) one turn, one basic, one turn, and then we'll just keep going.

Got it?

Uh, I don't know.

One, two, three, five, six, seven.

One, two, three, five, six, seven.

(Regina laughs)

One, two, three, five, six, seven.

One, two, three... good!

(Purring)

One, two, turn.

Men, shake those hips!

Ladies, feel spicy!

Ted: Hey, let's get faster now.

Ay ay ay!

Oh!

Hey now!

All: Oh-ho! Whoa!

I wanna learn that!

What's this?

(Cheering)

Your turn.

Your turn.

No no no no.

Come on.

Honey, it's too fast for me. I can't do this.

Well, just let me lead then.

Okay.

All right, just stand there and I'll twirl around you.

I can do that.

Watch this! Ay yi yi yi yi!

Ooh, do my skirt. Do my skirt.

Ay yi yi yi yi!

You have got to loosen your hips just a little bit.

This is as loose as they get.

Just bend your knees and the hips will follow.

What, latinas are born knowing salsa?

Of course not.

I had a few lessons.

(Groans)

All right. Oh!

You're supposed to dip me.

Well, I didn't take the lessons.

Patrick.

It was 17 years ago.

You can't be mad that Angelo and I had a few dance lessons.

Great dancers, great sex.

I never said that.

Why is it his name always comes up no matter what we're doing?

I didn't bring him up.

(Music stops)

Okay, that's great! Let's try it again.

Excuse me.

(Music starts)

Excuse me.

Okay, what just happened?

The guy lives 30 feet from you, you have a history, a kid...

I can never compete with that.

I can't erase him from my life.

I kept thinking that it was me, that I was making up how important he is to you.

It's not me. He's there.

The marriage is just so he can stay in the country.

You know that.

I can handle being with a woman in a fake marriage.

I just can't handle being with a woman in a real one.

(Door opens and closes)

Did you move all the sea bass?

Yes, chef.

Good.

Javier, let's get that duck in the reach-in.

Thanks for rolling with the 12-top, everyone.

I'll try to figure out why it wasn't on the books, but, overall, not too terrible of a night for us.

Scuba, I need to talk to you for a second.

Yeah. What's up?

You're off the schedule.

What do you mean?

You ruined hundreds of dollars worth of shrimp and you tried to get your co-worker to take the blame.

Daphne asked if she could...

Daphne was nowhere near that burner.

(Loudly) Yeah, I didn't realize you put a LoJack on your girlfriend.

Get out.

Get out of my kitchen!

Now!

What happened?

What happened is your boyfriend just fired me, that's what happened.

Wait. What did you just say?

Your boyfriend just fired me.

The code is my dad's R.B.I.

The reserve bank of India?

(Chuckles) No, it's "runs batted in."

Ah.

Ah!

Oh my God!

Get back!

Oh, wait wait wait!

I know him. I know him.

What are you doing? It's Bay...

Put the trophy down.

Sorry, you scared me.

What are you doing here?

Is this Emmett?

No, he's another deaf guy.

This is Travis. He works for my dad.

What are you doing here?

Oh...

...you wanted the couch?

No! What?!

Hey, what did he say?

Just don't worry about it.

Look, I need to borrow some money from the safe.

You're taking money from the safe.

What did you think that we were doing?

I don't know!

It's for a friend who's in trouble.

How much?

1,200.

But I'm gonna pay it back by tomorrow, I promise.

Travis, it's really important.

Believe me, I would not be here if it wasn't.

Are you sleeping here?

Sometimes.

So is he gonna do it?

You're the boss' daughter.

No.

I'm not gonna tell my dad that you're sleeping here.

Even if you don't open the safe.

He's doing it.

This is my ass on the line.

Me too.

(Groans) Oh.

Honey, just leave it.

Toby can help you in the morning.

Okay.

Only if you promise not to do any more dishes.

(Exhales) Done.

(Both sigh deeply)

Bay is taking Alex home and she promises...

Oh, no no no no.

...to be home...

No, not a word!

What?!

No kid talk!

But...

No no!

(Sighs)

They're never gonna get into college.

You know what?

Our kids are fine.

I don't want a kid who fakes interest in some sport from the renaissance. Come on.

Or pretends they wanna go stuff envelopes in the mayor's office on Saturdays. Come on! What is that?

But those are the kind of kids that are getting...

You know what? You know what?

...into college right now.

Every once in a while, you and I deserve to have an evening where we pretend that they don't exist.

(Chuckles)

It was pretty fun tonight, huh?

You were...

You were incredibly sexy out there tonight.

And you have absolutely no rhythm.

None.

Yes I do.

No.

You're still here.

I just...

I can't believe you fired Scuba.

I can't believe they all know about us.

Hey. He wasn't pulling his weight around here for some time now.

Probably because he was so busy trying to help me follow what was going on in the kitchen.

Whatever the reason, he wasn't doing his job, so he didn't deserve to keep it.

They all think I'm here because of us.

Do you think that's why you're here?

No.

You didn't even want me.

Exactly.

But you proved yourself to me.

You'll prove yourself to them.

They're all just gonna look at me like I'm...

Some bimbo.

Look, people gossip.

People get fired, some people are jerks and not everyone gets a trophy.

Welcome to the real world.

Hey. What happened?

I gave them the money, I got a receipt.

They told me that that was it.

Okay, so what do we do now?

Just... wait for her.

I guess.

I sent my mom a text saying that we ended up eating at the place and we'd be a while longer.

Thank you so much. I...

I am so sorry that I got you involved in all of this.

Things were a lot easier in the Galapagos, huh?

Yeah.

Zarra: Hey.

Hey! What?

Oh my God, you're all cut up.

Yeah. No...

I'm okay. I'm okay.

Hey. Alex.

Yo.

Thank you so much, girl.

I owe you.

What happened?

I told Mouse we shouldn't have gone anywhere near Prospect, all right.

I knew those guys would be looking for us.

Wait. Us? You were there?

Why didn't you get arrested?

Oh no, I did.

Listen, uh thanks. You know.

Turns out you're a lot cooler than I thought.

So Z, I'll catch you later, right?

Yeah.

Did I just bail him out too?

Did you mention that on the phone?

Yeah yeah, I did. Right?

I didn't? Dude, I am so sorry.

Things have been so crazy in there.

Anyway, you wouldn't want to leave Mouse hanging in there by himself, right?

I mean, he's one of us.

So where are the guys who jumped you?

Oh, they're in there.

Yeah, dude, we all got dinged.

That's why I had to get out of there.

All right, I gotta go home, man.

I actually have to work tomorrow.

Uh...

So I need that money.

Yeah. Absolutely. I'm not skipping town, so...

I'll show up for my court date. You'll get it.

I kinda need it before the court date, actually.

I need it like tomorrow.

Well, if I could have gotten together that much coin in one day, I probably wouldn't have needed to call you, right?

Zarra...

Look. Listen, I'll get together whatever I can.

It's gonna be fine, okay? I promise.

We're in this together, all right?

I really...

Oh! Uh, one more thing.

You might not wanna go around to my side of town for a while, 'cause they know your car.

Not too many of those clanging around K.C., right?

(Chuckles)

(Pop music playing)

Can I come in?

(Music stops)

So, uh...

I was thinking about starting up the band again.

No.

New people, new sound...

New name.

Yeah.

Start over.

Cool.

(Acoustic guitar music playing)

So, uh, I was thinking about names.

Maybe, um, Third World Bus Plunge?

(Chuckles)

Yeah. - It's not Piece of Crap but it will get attention.

Exactly. (Laughs)
