[soft music]
- My name is Alexandra Park,
but my friends
just call me Alex.
That's me, working hard,
searching for my self-worth.
A single brownie or
piece of wedding cake
will go straight to my thighs
if I don't work
it off in advance.
I do love wedding cake,
mind you, not my
own wedding cake
because my choices in life
seem to have ruled out
the happily ever after
love story thing.
It's only in fairytales,
right ladies?
Well, before you start
feeling too sorry for me,
it isn't like I live a
totally loveless life,
in fact, you could
even say I would win
Mother of the Year award.
Not because of my own kids,
but because of my life's
passion at my activity center.
I work with kids.
I love them with all
my heart and soul,
and in return,
they love me back.
They give my life a
sense of significance.
I'll be honest, things
haven't been easy lately,
but no matter how
bad things get,
when I look at their faces
and I see the hope in
their eyes, who knows?
Maybe God has some sort of
divine intervention for me.
Maybe it's right
around the corner.
[knocking]
Sarah, good to see you.
You are right on time.
Let's grab a seat and get comfy.
So, did your mom drop you off?
- Yeah, she said she
would come get me later.
- Okay, good.
Oh, I saw you
brought your journal.
- Mm-hmm.
- Great, thank you.
I give you almost as much
work as your teacher, eh?
[laughing]
Good.
Good.
So, tell me, what's been
going on in your life lately?
- I mean, just problems at home,
my parents are always fighting
and it's just hard for me.
- So, Skyler, you are
looking beautiful.
Things are going well.
[knocking]
Roxanne, hey.
What are you doing?
No, no, go around.
I told you before, use the door.
Geez.
[bright music]
Roxanne, that's
what doors are for.
- Who uses doors?
- [Alex] Normal people.
- Boring people.
Hey, all right, so I
am breaking you out
of this office for lunch.
- Okay.
- I was thinking out
favorite Italian restaurant,
the one with the really
great mozzarella,
and the cute owner's son
who has the hots for you.
- No, he does not.
- Yes, he does.
You don't think I notice?
The plates come out,
yours has a little extra
something something,
mine, nothing.
- Rox, you're ridiculous.
A guy hasn't looked
at me since--
- Oh, no, do not bring up the
Max this and the Max that.
He went off to New
York, or wherever,
and it's been what?
Two years?
Two very long and lonely years.
Time to plant a
new garden, honey.
I say start with
some Italian herbs.
[soft guitar music]
So, since you have a really
good look into the kitchen,
how 'bout you tell me
when the Italian
stallion comes into view.
- I am ignoring you.
- Yeah, well, you
could try to do that.
- Hi.
- Good afternoon, ladies.
- Hi.
- Welcome to the Peppermill.
Can I start y'all off
with something to drink?
- I would like a water
with no lemon, please.
- Okay.
- Oh, and a vodka martini,
dirty, with three olives.
- Okay.
- Well, you know,
make it a double.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
What?
- Are you done yet?
- It's five o'clock somewhere.
- And for you?
- I'll just have a
water, thank you.
- Water?
- What's wrong with water?
It's good for you.
What?
What now?
- I don't know, I
was just wondering
about what maybe you had planned
for say the first
week of the summer?
- Why, pray tell,
are you asking?
- Because I have
this vision of you
with your cute
little recyclable bag
heading into the used bookstore
and filling it up with
$ romance novels,
and then sitting home on
Friday and Saturday night
after you get back from
the gym to read them.
You, my girl, are
predictable and boring.
I love you, I do,
but you have got to get a little
fun in your life, capeesh?
- Oh my god, it's him.
- What?
- It's him.
- Yeah, it is.
- Don't look at him.
- What?
Ow, that hurt.
- Don't, stop.
- Why not?
Look at him, he is like
one of those statues
in a fountain that you're
supposed to look at.
He's beautiful.
- You're crazy.
- Come on.
Just look at him, seriously.
Just take a look.
Take a look.
- Crazy woman.
- [Roxanne] I am.
[boys chattering]
- Justin, go long.
- I just think Christian and I
would be so perfect together.
- I'm sure you do.
- He just has the best smile.
And his eyes, don't you think?
- Yeah.
- Snap out of it, girl.
- He is pretty dreamy, isn't he?
- [clapping] Guys, it's summer.
We need to make a plan.
- I plan on watching every movie
that hits theaters this summer.
Yes, every single one.
- Oh, okay.
Well, I plan on starring in
my community's summer musical.
- Well, I plan on
getting discovered,
and when I do, I'm
heading out to Hollywood.
- [scoffs] Discovered?
I don't see any Hollywood agents
banging down your
door, Michael Buble.
- And if they did
come to New Orleans,
they'd be looking for me.
- Oh, or me.
- This conversation is stupid.
- Well, the music I'm
gonna make with this
and the Grammys I'm gonna win,
that's all that matters.
- Well, I'm gonna be like
one of those big celebrities
on YouTube and show kids that
they can make a difference.
- Whoa, Whoa, that
got very deep.
But on a brighter note,
have you guys ever noticed
my abnormally small ears?
[group laughing]
- Hey, Mr. Small Ears,
get over here.
I wanna b*at you in
a game of foosball.
- Okay, I gotta be in on this.
- Count me in.
- Hey, guys.
How y'all doing?
- [Students] Hey, Ms. A.
- How was school today?
- Ms. A, school's
over, it's summer now.
- Yeah, thank goodness.
- Wow, time flies.
Summer already?
Okay, we're gonna
have to talk about
posting new times for the
center to be open, guys.
My work hours may
be changing soon.
- More patients
than usual, Ms. A?
- No, the opposite
actually, but yeah,
a bunch of new hopeless
romantics, just like you guys.
- I mean, you gotta
love us, Ms. A.
- Oh, I do, Aldrich, that I do.
Well, I've got some paperwork,
so y'all have some fun
and behave yourselves.
[upbeat cheerful music]
[students chattering]
- Yeah.
- No!
[cheering]
- We did something!
- Do you ever stop
looking at yourself?
- And what's wrong with
liking the way I look?
- Just seems a little
self-absorbed, is all.
- Well, if you cared about
your appearance at all.
[laughing]
- You guys, that
was really mean.
- Yeah, not okay.
- You know what, Lexi,
not everyone is obsessed
with their appearance
like you are.
- You're one to talk.
Little miss perfect Parker
who always has to have her
makeup done just right.
"Is my mascara smudged?"
- "Do I look good in
this shade of lipstick?"
[laughing]
- Guys, please stop fighting.
- [Abigail] I think I need
to lose at least five pounds.
- Hmm, more like seven.
[girls laughing]
- Guys, please stop fighting.
- It's okay, honey.
- Knock it off, okay?
You're all beautiful,
end of story.
- Yeah, if this is
a beauty contest
I wouldn't know who to choose.
Y'all are all drop
dead gorgeous.
- Oh, give me a break.
This is all pathetic.
Stop trying to make
her feel better.
- What do you think
you're doing, Abigail?
You know that Belle
gets triggered
with conflicts and
fights like this.
- Well you know what?
- What?
- She's gonna have to grow up
and face the real world
one of these days.
- Look, this is supposed
to be a safe place,
not a place where Belle
has to face more trauma
and get att*cked by
bullies like you.
- Oh, shut up!
- Hey, no you ain't gonna
talk to her like that.
[girls screaming]
No, you stop it!

- Special person with
quirky personality.
[laughs] Yeah, that's me.
Good at storytelling.
Magic.
I've got a magic trick or two.
Balloon artistry
and face painting.
How hard can it be?
Pre-arranged
bookings, I like that.
Pays $ per event, nice.
Submit letter of interest
today, start working tomorrow.
Paid weekly.
Glen@partymemories.com.
Okay.
Here you go, Glen.
[exhales]
You got this, Alex.
How hard can it be?
It's just a bunch
of little kids.
You like art, it'll be fun.
[knocking]
Hi, my name is Alex.
How do you do?
- Hey.
- I'm here for Hannah's party.
Thank you.
Hi, mermaids and mermen,
how are you today?
- [Children] Good.
- Good.
Are you ready to have some fun?
- [Children] Yeah.
- Okay, well, I heard that
it's somebody's birthday today.
- Mine.
- Yours.
You must be Hannah.
How old are you today, Hannah?
- Five.
- Oh, you're a big girl.
Do you brush your own hair?
So do I.
Would you like to see my brush?
I have it right here in
my underwater mermaid bag.
It's a dinglehopper.
Works like this, see?
- It's not a dinglehopper,
it is a fork.
- Oh. [laughs nervously]
Silly me.
I guess y'all never saw
a dinglehopper before.
Well--
- [Boy] You're not a mermaid,
you're a human
wearing a fake tail.
- Well, I most certainly
am a mermaid, young man.
You know, we mermaids when
we dry off we get legs.
- Then why not wear a dress
and walk around on your legs?
Why try to fool us
with a fake tail?
What do you think we are,
gullible or something?
We're kids, not idiots.
- [Mother] Son, come here.
- Okay. [laughs nervously]
Well, why don't we try
something else out of my merbag?
Look guys, isn't this neat?
It's my magic empty bag.
[laughing]
Doesn't it look empty?
Would you like to
make something?
Yeah?
- Yeah.
- What lives in the sea, guys?
Anybody know?
- Oh, fish.
- That's right.
Fishes live under the sea.
- Crabs.
- Crabs do live
under the sea, too.
What else?
- Seahorse.
- Yeah, seahorses live
under the sea, too.
And so do mermaids.
You know what?
I think it would be really nice
to make you all a fishy balloon.
Would you like a fishy balloon?
- [Children] Yeah!
- [Alex] Would you
like a fishy balloon?
- I want a seahorse.
- Well, why not a nice
blue fishy balloon?
- I want a seahorse.
- Oh, okay.
I'll try, sweetie.
Okay.
Alex, you can do this.
- [Child] You made
another big balloon.
- Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So, I'll just make
you a seahorse.
[balloon pops]
[yells]
Oh dear.
- Yay!
- Let's try that again.
Okay, look it's yellow,
it matches your bow,
isn't that pretty?
Get it together.
It's not that hard, right?
Go like--
[balloon pops]
Oh.
[laughing]
- Hey.
- Oh dear.
You know, maybe I'll
make the balloons
a little later, guys.
How about we do
something else right now?
Would you like to play a game?
- This is my house.
- [Children] No.
- No?
- This is my house.
- What would you rather do
instead of playing a game?
- Sing.
- Sing!
- Sing?
- [Hannah] Sing, sing.
- [Children] Sing, sing, sing
sing, sing, sing, sing,
sing, sing, sing, sing!
[knocking]
- Hi, I'm Alex, I'm here
for Jackson's party.
- Hi.
What a lovely dress.
- Oh, thank you, but
it's so hot to wear.
- Can I get you
something to drink?
Lemonade, iced tea,
a sh*t of whiskey?
- No, I'm good, thank you,
I don't drink when I--
- These rugrats can be a mess.
- Yeah, they sure can.
Just point me to 'em
and I'll get started.
- Okay.
Kids, the face painter's here!
[children screaming]
- Okay, you wanted
to be a kitty cat?
- No, I told you, I
wanna be a princess.
- Oh, sorry, it's just a
little hard to hear with y'all.
And you wanted to
be a kitty cat?
Oh, and you wanted Spider-Man.
- No, me!
- Oh, I'm sorry.
You wanted Spider-Man.
What were you?
- Panda.
- Panda?
Okay.
Okay, here's what
we're gonna do,
don't worry, I'll get
you all done, I think.
We're just gonna give
you all numbers, okay?
So, don't worry, everybody's
gonna get a turn,
just be patient.
Okay, buddy, almost done.
And you are a panda.
Do you like it?
- No.
- Let me show you.
Do you like it?
- No.
- Do you like it?
- Mom!
Spider-Man's not pink!
- What do you think, sweetie?
- I like it.
- Finally.
What do you think?
- I like it.
- Oh, good, I think I'm
better at princesses.
Oh, man.
Here, you're gonna
look beautiful, honey,
just close your eyes for me.
Glitter, everything looks
better with glitter.
- What is she supposed to be?
A scary clown or something?
- Mom!
She made me look ugly!
[Alex sighs]
- Cool, can you make
me a scary clown, too?
- Like her?
Sure, why not.
Climb on up.
Okay.
One scary clown coming right up.
Are you feeling okay, honey?
Your eyes are kinda red.
[vomiting]
Ah, man.
Hey, could somebody
get this kid's mom?
And some wet wipes.
It's okay, sweetie.
Just let it all out.

[students chattering]
- Hey, what's up?
- Hey, Rox, what are you doing?
- Yoga.
- Yoga.
Rox, you don't do yoga.
- Yes I do.
There's this cute
yogi at the gym.
He likes it.
- Okay, I cannot imagine that.
Sitting still, that's
not your thing.
- Yeah, it really isn't.
But I'm on this ball in the park
and this is really fun.
So, what's up?
- [laughs] Okay, wow.
Look, Rox, I need to
talk to you for a minute.
I need to run something by you.
- Okay.
- Well, I have this crazy idea.
I'm thinking of putting
together a musical,
like a show to fundraise
for the activity center.
I found out these kids
really have talent.
- What are they gonna do,
have mood swings
on stage? [laughs]
- Oh, come on, that was funny.
All right, tell me about it.
- Rox, I'm serious,
these kids can sing.
It's not a joke,
they're talented.
It'll blow your mind.
And I was thinking, I
need to contact Max.
- Wait, what?
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no.
- See, I knew it.
I knew you were
gonna flip out at me.
Look, I know I don't need him,
but I do need him, for
the fundraiser at least.
- Okay, I'm not going
back down Max memory lane.
You don't need him, Alex,
you can do this on your own.
- He's good at
that kind of stuff.
And I promise, I'm
going to keep it
strictly professional, okay?
- Really?
You promise?
- Gosh, Roxy, yes.
I promise.
- Pinky swear?
- I pinky swear.
Trust me, okay?
- Always.
You got this.
- Love you, girl.
- Love you.
[exhales heavily]
- Hi.
Yeah, it's Alex.
Yeah, long time.
Yeah, no, I'm doing pretty
good, things are fine.
No, no I'm calling because...
Actually, I need your help.
[laughs] Yeah, very funny.
Yeah, I know, I need
lots of help, mm-hmm.
No, seriously, my
foundation is in
a little bit of a pickle,
and I think that you're
just the man to help me out.
[laughs] Yeah, funny.
No, but I have an idea.
I found out that my
kids have a gift.
No.
No, not shoplifting.
No, Max, these kids can sing.
Like really sing.
[engines whirring]
All right, guys, I
called you all here today
because I have something
to share with you.
Well, something to
confess, actually.
Our government grant was
not renewed six months ago,
and I've been funding
this whole thing
out of my pocket ever since.
I never took business
school, y'all.
I'm not so good with the
finances, and we're broke.
- We're not gonna lose
the center, are we?
- No, no, honey.
Not if I can help it.
- What can we do to help, Ms. A?
- Well, you could tell me,
why does this place
matter so much to you?
Why does this place matter
so much to all of you?
Justin.
- I wanna say something,
but I don't want you
guys to judge me.
- Dude, don't worry,
we're all family here.
- Yeah, we got your back, bro.
- The reason I wanna be here
is because I don't
wanna be home.
My dad he...
He has a temper, and he
likes to take it out on me.
At home, anything I do,
it's not good enough.
I can't ever make him happy.
This...
This center, Ms. Alex, it's...
It's our home.
And you guys are my family.
- Thank you, Justin.
- My dad d*ed of cancer
last year, and...
it broke me.
It's like, how do you watch
the guy that raised
you just fade away?
[sobbing]
But...
But you guys accepted me,
and you were the
shoulder I needed.
That's why I'm here.
- Thank you, Hannah.
- My older brother
and I, we were close,
but when he was my age
he ran away from home
and he got mixed in
with the wrong crowd.
Any drug you could
think of, he did.
He didn't have a place
like this to come to,
and that's what this
place is for us.
It's a place for hope.
- Ever since my
brother was born,
my mom, she, [sighs] she
hasn't been the same.
The doctor says that it's
postpartum depression.
I just, there's not
too many reasons
for me to be happy anymore.
I'm just so glad
to have this place.
You all bring a little
joy into my life.
- You make us
happy, too, sweetie.
Thank you.
- Abby, what's wrong?
- I'm sorry.
I'm just realizing that
we're all in this together.
In the third grade,
I was bullied so much
because I love to sing.
Even my friends said I sucked.
I stopped singing altogether
until I came here.
- It's okay, you're not alone.
Me, too.
- This place, it gave
me my voice back.
But I took out my frustration
on all of you, and...
I'm sorry.
[sobbing]
- I just come for the free food.
[laughing]
- Oh, guys.
Guys, thank you so much.
Abigail, thank you.
That was hard, thank
you for your bravery.
Thank you all so
much for sharing.
This reaffirms in my heart
why this place
needs to stay open.
It matters.
This place matters.
You know, I've been
reading this book.
It's called "God's
Calling", and in here,
it talks about
how each one of us
is created with gifts
and talents, desires,
for a specific purpose.
I don't know if you know
the story of Esther or not,
but she was given the
gift of influence.
She was put in a very
powerful position
and it was scary for
her to use that gift,
could've cost her her life.
But the choices she
made saved a nation.
Would you be willing to
be brave like she was?
- Of course.
- Yeah, of course.
- Would you use your
talents and gifts
that I've seen in you
to fight for your home?
- [Students] Yeah.
- [Belle] Mr. Max!
- [Students] Mr. Max!
- Hey, y'all.
- Mr. Max, what
are you doing here?
- You didn't tell them, did you?
- Well, I was getting to
that, and you're early.
- It's never too
early to save the day.
- And also so humble, I see.
[laughing]
- [Belle] We missed
you, Mr. Max.
- I missed you guys, too.
- We've got some ideas here.
Actually, Mr. Max, take it away.
- Okay, guys.
Well, how would you
all like to star
in a musical written by moi?
- Yes!
- To save the activity center.
- [Students] Yes!
- Yes?
Yes?
- Oh my goodness.
- Awesome!
- No.
I said they could have the space
for $ a square foot
and nothing less.
I have over $ million
invested in this property.
Look, if they give you
any resistance at all,
you kick 'em to the curb.
This is a business, and if
they want waterfront property
they have to pay the piper.
[thundering]
I have another call coming in.
Just get this deal done.
Hello, this is
Chandler DelaHoussaye.
No, Mr. Marcello.
No.
I fully understand the
terms of our agreement.
I just need a little
more time, sir.
Please, I will have you
your money, with interest.
I promise.
Thank you, sir.
Take care.
[intense music]
[sighs deeply]
Let's see here.
Where is it?
Where is it?
There it is.
That sweet little
property down by the river
where that nonprofit's
gonna go belly up.
Let's see.
If I can...
get the demolition
done for $ , ,
and I can pay
planning and zoning
and the site inspector $ ,
I can make a ton of
money off this deal.
Stacy, pull the car
up front, please.
I wanna go see that
pathetic little property
down by the river.
I need this to work.
- Max, thank you so much
for dropping everything
you were doing
and hopping on that plane,
getting down here so quickly.
I don't know how I'm
ever gonna repay you.
- I could...
think of a few things.
- Look, we have a lot to get
done and not a lot of time.
Strictly business, okay?
- You could suck the helium
out of the Goodyear
Blimp, you know that?
- I guess I never was
fun enough for you.
That's why you ran off
to New York, isn't it?
- Ran off to New York?
I didn't run off to New York,
you forced me out, remember?
What was I gonna do?
Stay around here
and see you around
and act like I didn't
have feelings for you?
I asked you to come with me.
- Max.
Are you gonna help me or not?
- Okay, boss lady, what
do you need from me?
- If you could write a musical,
something that would catch
the community's interest,
maybe we could raise enough
money to save the center.
But it would have to be
quick, I'm out of time.
- So, let me get this straight.
You need me to write a
musical, like, yesterday?
- Yeah.
- What about a budget?
Stage crew, stage
manager, production crew--
- No.
- Lights.
- No.
- Stage.
- No, no. [sighs]
Max, look, I know some of the
logistics are out of order,
but if you can just take
care of the creative side
I promise I'll get
the details in order.
- And what about us?
I mean...
What's in it for me?
[Alex scoffs]
- There you go again.
Been here, what?
Five minutes?
And already you're making
this all about you.
Max, these kids trust me.
I cannot let them down.
If we can't fix this,
they lose everything.
- What do you want, Alex?
What does your heart want?
- My heart?
[Alex sighs]
Max.
If you ever really
cared about me,
please, help my kids.
I can't lose my kids.
Please.
- Okay.
How much are you in the hole?
[Alex crying]
- grand.
- grand.
- I know.
- Oh boy, Alex--
- I'm sorry.
- You really, you got yourself
into a pickle here
without me, huh?
- Without you? [laughs]
Once again, you are
making this all about you.
I don't know what I was...
Why did I even.
You know, you say you know me,
I don't think you do.
[intense music]
- I think I know you
well enough, Alex.
This was a mistake
coming down here,
I can see that now.
You don't want me back,
you just wanna use me.
Shame on you, Alex.
Shame on you.
- No.
Max.
- Alex.
- Max.
Max!
[sighs] My god.

Come in.
[intense music]
- Well, hello there, young lady.
- Hello, who are you?
- Hi, I'm Chandler DelaHoussaye.
I'm with Orlean
Executive Towers.
I'm here today to do
a site assessment.
- Pardon me, a site assessment?
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
- Yeah, so the bank gave
me this pocket listing
on this property and I'm
considering purchasing it
at the end of the month.
- What?
- I'm sorry.
Is it not in unrecoverable debt?
- No!
It most certainly is not.
This building is not for sale.
If you'd be so kind as
to exit the premises
I'd be very grateful.
- Okay.
Okay.
I'll see myself out,
but I'll be seeing
you real soon.
Real soon, young lady.
[knocking]
- Look, Mr. Chandler,
I already told you,
this building is not for sale.
- Oh, easy now.
Did I miss something?
Who was that man?
- That was.
You know what?
Nevermind, it's none
of you business.
- Hey, hey, easy now.
Look, Alex, I'm not
your enemy, okay?
I wanted to come back
and say I'm sorry.
I know the dream I dreamed
of Alex and Max is no longer.
I am here, I am your friend.
What can I do to help?
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Okay, well, what would the
first step of this musical be?
- Talent.
We need talent.
Can you maybe set up auditions
so we can see what
we're working with?
- Yeah.
Yeah, you know what, the
kids would be so excited.
I could probably do it as
early as this afternoon.
- Good.
- But Max, you've gotta
be gentle with them.
Some of these kids, they
come from broken homes,
really rough backgrounds.
They're gonna wanna impress you.
They really admire Mr. Max.
So, whatever they come up with,
and I mean whatever
they come up with,
positive affirmation, okay?
- Yeah.
Kid gloves, got it.
So, let's see, you
have a piano, guitar?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Well, let's go check 'em out.
- Okay.
- All right, so which one of you
juvenile delinquents
wanna go first?
- Max.
- I'll go first, better
to get it over with.

- Well, we've got something.
Let's go.
[cheerful music]
- It's gonna be so fun.
- I know, I can't wait.
- Oh, Alex, this place
is really something.
I'm impressed.
- Thank you.
I know important people, too.
[splashing]
Hey, guys.
Are y'all having fun?
- Yeah, we are.
- Thank you so much
for bringing us here.
- You are so welcome, sweetie.
I'm so glad you guys
are enjoying yourselves.
Y'all deserve this.
I love you guys.
- Ido have to warn you, though,
later there will be
a cannonball contest.
I'm just letting you know,
I am forever champion.
- Yeah, well, I was a swimming
champion when I was younger.
I bet I could b*at you
in a race right now.
- I could take you, too.
- I would destroy you in a race.
- It is on.
Think they can b*at me.
Oh, babe, don't get
sunburned, okay?
Lobster is not a
good look for you.
- [laughs] Good one.
Look at them, they're
having so much fun.
Makes me happy to
see them so happy.
- Makes me happy, too.
I like seeing you happy.
- Well, how's the play going on?
What did you call it again?
- Oh, it's...
One Star Rising.
- Okay, so how is One
Star Rising doing,
and why did you call it that?
- Oh, it's inspired
after biblical movies
and stage shows that I
watched when I was a kid.
You asked for something
clean and wholesome.
I just took some of my
favorite scenes from there
and reworked them into the show.
Been working day
and night, though.
You've barely given me a break.
- Hey, that's not me.
I didn't ask for
any all nighters,
that's all you.
And hey, I even gave
you half a day off,
told you to come have
fun with us at the pool.
- Half a day off.
I know why you brought me here.
You just wanna
ridicule and harass me.
I know your end game.
- Well, I mean you are
kinda funny looking,
so you make me look good.
- Don't be hatin' on all this.
[Alex laughs]
- No, honestly, Max...
The kids do really like you
and you're great with them,
and I guess I kinda like
having you around, too.
- Of course you do,
I'm Max Rothschild.
- Hey, will you excuse
me for a minute.
I think I'd better
go talk to CJ.
- Okay.
- Hey, CJ.
How you doing?
You wanna go in for a swim?
Why not?
- I don't wanna get sunburned.
- Is that the real reason?
Hey.
Did I ever tell you
about when I was ?
I went through a hard
time, abusive relationship.
At one point the pain got so bad
I felt like if I couldn't get
it out I wouldn't survive.
So, I started to.
- To hurt yourself?
But you're Ms. Alex.
- I'm also human.
- How did you know about...
me?
- I've been there.
CJ...
God's love brought me back.
- I don't think God
loves me all that much.
- No, no, CJ, God loves you.
Why would you say that?
- I did the whole
church thing, Ms. A.
I know The Bible says
that God is my Father.
What kind of father
lets their child suffer?
It just feels like he's
turned his back on me.
And I'm so tired of feeling...
worthless.
I just wanna...
I wanna feel--
- Whole again?
CJ, his love, it's so faithful.
He takes you just as you are,
but he doesn't leave
you the way you are.
His love is there
when you wake up,
when you open your eyes,
when you take a breath,
when your heart beats.
Every minute of every day,
he can love you
back to wholeness.
- You really think so?
- I know so.
I know he loves you.
God is the one person
that will never,
ever leave you or forsake you.
He will never judge you.
He will always love you.
- I love you, Ms. A.
- I love you, too.
Can I give you a hug?
- Yeah.
- You know what?
All these kids here,
they love you, too.
If you ever need
anyone to talk to,
we're all here for you.
- Hey, so we're about to
start the cannonball contest.
Y'all wanna?
- Hey, CJ and I could be judges.
- Oh, that's great.
Hey, kids, we're about to start
the cannonball contest, come on!
- Come on, C.
[exciting music]
- I'm so sorry,
Mr. DelaHoussaye,
they refused to stop at
the front desk and sign in.
- It's okay, Stacy.
I know these two fine,
upstanding gentlemen.
I'm good.
Thank you so much.
- Chandler Hollywood
DelaHoussaye, in the flesh.
- Howdy, boys, what
can I do for you?
- Mr. Marcello would
like his money today.
- I just spoke with
Mr. Marcello last week,
we have an agreement.
We have a special bond.
Everything's gonna
be fine, guys.
- I don't think pretty boy here
is on the same page as the boss.
Mind I should rattle
his cage a little?
- Not just yet.
Mr. Marcello likes
his money on time,
and let me tell you
something, little man,
if you love anything
about yourself,
your business, or
whatever you do,
you're gonna have
that money today.
Do you understand me?
Are you hearing me?
- I hear you guys.
Everything is crystal clear.
- Let's hope so.
[Alex sighs deeply]
- This is a great idea.
[sighs]
Max...
Do you really think the kids
are gonna be ready
for tomorrow night?
- Yeah, I think they're as ready
as they're ever gonna be.
- And you know, I looked online,
there are
tickets sold already.
- tickets?
That's more than I had at
my last show in New York.
- Well, this endeavor
may not save the center,
but at least I'll know
we did everything
we possibly could.
- Yeah.
We really did get this together
pretty good, didn't we?
You know, you and I
make a great team.
- Well, I really
should thank you again.
You didn't have
to come and rescue
me and all my problems.
- I kinda like being your
knight in shining armor.
It's worth it to see that
beautiful smile again.
- Oh sir, you make me blush.
Seriously, would you like
to take walk on the pier?
- I'd love to.
[romantic music]
[Alex and Max whispering]
Hey, Roxy, have you seen Alex?
- Yeah, she was here earlier
but she went back to the center
to get the kids' presents
for after the show.
She'll be back soon.
- Okay, thanks.
- Max, Max, do you
have the batteries
for the wireless mics?
- Yeah, batteries.
Okay, A/V booth, under
the console on the shelf.
I think they should be there.
- Okay, I'll check 'em all,
put the batteries
in and test 'em.
- Hey, wait, wait,
wait, before you go,
remember, we do need to label
each one independently,
each channel.
We can't have any mess
ups tonight, okay?
- From your lips to God's ears.
- Thanks, Roberto.
[sighs] Where'd she go?
[humming]
- Good afternoon, Ms. Park.
I've been waiting for you.
- How did you get in here?
- Door was unlocked,
I let myself in.
- Well, you're trespassing.
This is private property.
I'd like you to leave now.
- Not so quick, missy.
We have some business
to conduct here.
- Listen, Mr. Chandler, I don't
know who you think you are
but I already told you, this
building is not for sale.
Now, please leave.
- Well, come Monday morning
you will no longer own this
property, the bank will.
I am merely here as
to assist your exit.
Here.
This is for you.
[ripping]
- Now get out before
I call the police.
- That was not a wise move.
- Get out!
- After you.
[bat clinking]
You should've taken
the money, lady.
[freezer whirring]
It's a shame, such
a pretty woman.
It didn't have to be this way,
but I'm taking that teen
center back from you.
You just sit in here and chill.
- Roxy, did Alex
ever get back yet?
- No.
- It's an hour till show time,
I'm starting to get worried.
- No, but maybe she stopped
at her apartment or something.
Did you try calling her?
- I did.
It just keeps rolling
over to voicemail.
- That's not like her.
Maybe I should go look for her.
- No, no, look, I got it, okay?
Look, you and Roberto are
gonna be in charge, okay?
- What?
- Not for the whole thing,
just at least until
I get back, okay?
You've got this, okay?
You've got this.
You're in charge, but I'll
be back as soon as I can.
- I'm in charge now.
[slow piano music]
[audience chattering]
[knocking]
- Alex.
Alex.
Alex, are you in there?
You sure picked a heck
of a day to go MIA.
[intense music]
[breathing heavily]
- You've gotta be kidding me.
Hey!
Hey!
[groaning]
No!
Let me out!
[breathing heavily]
[groaning]
[shivering]
Come on.
Max.
Hey, babe.
I'm sure you're
wondering what happened.
This guy named Chandler
DelaHoussaye, I think.
He came by my office,
offered to buy me out.
I turned him down,
guess he didn't like it.
Next thing I knew...
I woke up in the
center's freezer.
[bells ringing]
- Go, therefore, and make
disciples of all nations
as I have made of you, Peter,
baptizing them in the
name of the Father,
and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit.
- Yes, Rabbi.

I'm sorry.
Tell the kids I'm sorry.
Please...
Tell them I'd never leave them.
I'd never leave them
if I had a choice.

Don't let the center

time for my father's prophecy
to be fulfilled
as it was written.
I know, my beloved son.
You have given my life grace
and meaning for years.
What is the Lord's
purpose for me now?
- To be the echo of my word
to all you encounter.
Use your faith and strength
and shepherd in
what must be done
for all humanity to survive.
I know you have it in you.

has always been on you, my son.

Wonders beyond belief,
a divine eternity of

and I will be there
waiting for you.
It is time to rest now.

- [Narrator] For God
so loved the world
that he gave his only son
so that everyone who
believes in him may not die,
but have eternal life.
For God did not send
his son into the world
to be its judge, but
to be its savior.
And upon the third sunrise,
Jesus rose from the dead,
refreshed and victorious.

- Excuse me, miss.
Mr. Benson would
like a word with you.
- That's the billionaire owner
of the football and
basketball team.
[laughs] I wonder what he wants.
- Are you the person in charge
of all of these
great kids tonight?
- I am.
Alexandra Park.
And you are?
- I'm Marc Benson, I'm
a local businessman
and a patron of the arts.
I just wanted to come backstage
and tell you guys, y'all were
terrific out there today.
Y'all really blew me away.
- Thank you.
I'm very proud of each
and every one of them.
- When I was a young kid, I
went out for my school musical,
and I remember it
like it was yesterday.
It was Godspell.
I was a shy kid and I
had never sung on stage
before that time.
But I went to auditions, and...
I said a little prayer.
Do you know what I prayed for?
- Not sure I entirely follow.
- What I prayed for was
that God and the Holy Spirit
would somehow take over my body,
and mainly my voice, and just
let me not embarrass myself
in front of my classmates?
- Did it work?
- The next day I went
to the bulletin board
and I took a look
at the cast sheets,
and miraculously,
they cast me as Jesus.
Me, as Jesus.
Now, my mother, she was so proud
and we decided not to share
my love of dramatics
with my father.
The whole show is a
blank to me now, but...
When I was up there on the cross
singing my final song like Juan,
I saw him in the audience,
and he was crying.
- He was ashamed?
- No.
He was crying tears of joy.
- Wow, that's an amazing story.
My name's Max.
I wrote this wonderful
musical you saw tonight.
- Well, it's a pleasure to meet
both you, Alex, and you, Max.
And tonight, the two
of you reminded me
of that very special
evening so long ago.
Now, as I understand it,
y'all run what y'all call
a teen activity center?
- Yeah.
I used to.
- Kids.
Y'all deserve a place
much nicer than this.
Y'all were just
spectacular tonight.
- Thank you, Mr.
Benson, that means a lot
coming from someone like you.
- I'll tell you what
I'ma do for all of you.
I built a brand new
state-of-the-art
performing arts center.
I wanna give it to
you, and to the kids.
The same God that empowered
me on that stage years ago,
and helped me through
that situation
that y'all all reminded
me of it this evening
would have it no other way.
The building's yours.
[Alex stammering]
- I don't know what to say.
This is too much.
I can't take this, sir.
- Why not, Ms. A?
- Yes, why not, says
the angel of God?
- Alex, this does
really help us out,
I mean, isn't this why we
held this musical tonight?
[Alex laughs]
- Thank you.
- Well, who gets the keys?
- Give it to her, definitely.
[Alex laughing]
- Thank you.
- I'll tell you
what else I'll do.
I'll go ahead and I'll
pre-pay all of the insurance
and the taxes for
the next years
so you won't ever get
a bill in the mail
with this new center.
- You know, you made
all this possible.
- I did, didn't I?
- We make a pretty good
team after all, don't we?
What do you say?
Do you wanna hang around
and see what we can do with
this state-of-the-art facility?
- I'd love to.
