02x07 - Tremor

[bunniefuu]

(soft upbeat music)

- [Caitlin] Things I'd rather be doing

on a Saturday morning,

sleeping in, riding Bennet, sleeping in.

Nowhere, nowhere in that list is dressing up

for my first summer job interview.

My first real job as a photographer.

- [Dori] Caitlin! You'll miss the bus.

- I'm ready.

Looking good.

Looking great.

- You gotta see Brett though, Dad.

He has his (indistinct), it turns reality inside out.

- Isn't reality fine the way it is?

- But he's that good.

Of course my tips are helping.

Maybe I'm a natural, could you see me as a coach?

- I thought you wanted to be a coroner.

- No, that's such a dead end career.

Is that what you're wearing?

- Oh honey, I think what Griffen's trying to say is that...

- Is it looks really great,

but The Spring City Standard it's...

- Well, it's a conservative paper and...

- And zebra skin doesn't exactly scream job interview.

- Look, this is what I'm wearing. This is who I am.

But it's not what they want.

- Just maybe something a little bit simpler.

- Maybe something with flowers?

(soft upbeat music)

- And we're still leaving in five minutes.

(soft upbeat music)

- [Caitlin] What does it matter what photographers

look like anyway?

It's never gonna be me in front of the camera.

Feels like getting the job's gonna be harder

than actually doing it.

(soft upbeat music ends)

(siren blaring in distance)

- Hey. Here, it's called Tremor.

It'll shake up how you think, shakeup how you feel.

50 cents.

- Maybe if it was free.

- Well, it's only two quarters.

You're gonna tell me you can't afford that.

Come on, look at you.

- What?

Do you dis every potential customer or am I just special?

- You're special. You're special little princess.

(footsteps pattering)

(door slams)

- More experience?

How am I supposed to get more experience

if I can't even get a job?

(music playing on earphones)

"Wanna shake up how people think?

Wanna change the way they feel?"

Definitely.

- Okay. This time you will go right to the net.

Don't waste any time. Look at his eyes not at the ball.

(funky music)

As soon as you catch it, take it to the hole.

(funky music)

Yeah!

(funky music)

- Give it up, man. That rock's mine and you know it.

- Okay, you got it?

No, you're dribbling too high.

Keep it away.

Oh man, you gotta get lower.

Now go.

- Go on, Brett. (funky music)

He's given you a false sense of security.

- You're gonna do this during the tournament.

Isn't that too low? You gotta focus, man.

It's only a day away.

- I'm letting you win.

- Beautiful.

High River Summer sh**t-off is yours.

- So, what was that?

Five out of nine. Big deal.

I'll beat you six out of 11.

Let's go. - Relax.

You are not even (indistinct).

- I know, don't take it personal.

Brett's the best player in High River County

with the worst pair of basketball shoes.

- Yeah, I can't believe you're wearing those.

- Look, there's gonna be a college scout there.

You don't wanna look like some dorky high school kid.

- Yeah, and if those destruct anymore

you're gonna play like some dorky high school kid.

- Come on, it's my lucky pair.

(funky music)

Do you guys really think I need new shoes?

- Oh yeah.

(funky music)

- Excuse me.

I saw your paper and you see I'm a photographer.

I wanna talk to the editor.

- Well, the editor doesn't want to talk to you.

- I know I didn't exactly buy a paper,

but I found one and I think it's the best.

And I think I wanna shake things up.

- Dressed like that?

- Hey, Abraham Lincoln changed the world

and he was dressed like an undertaker.

Look, your paper, it makes people think about things

they never really think about.

I like to sh**t things they never really see.

(soft music)

See not bad, right?

(soft music)

- They are not awful.

A little juvenile perhaps.

- I can sh**t older. At least I can try.

- Okay. Find me something that will shake me up.

My name is Mariah Mattatuyi.

And if I print any of your pictures, I'll pay you $50.

Sounds good? - Yeah.

- [Caitlin] Come on, man.

I can't find anything that'll shake up.

(rock music)

(siren blaring in distance)

(energetic music)

- No way!

That is artistic property, my artistic property.

- Actually, it's personal property. That's somebody's truck.

- Not until Monday morning when they drive it out of here.

Till then she's all mine. (dog barking in distance)

- Look, I work for a paper

that's trying to shake up the world, but-

- I don't think so.

(Caitlin exhales deeply)

- I'm a really good photographer.

- No.

- But this should be great for your career.

- Mine or yours?

- Look, people wanna know what life's like

for people without any power,

people struggling to say something, artists like you.

- Look, I don't wanna be your little social studies project.

Okay?

- Wait, what are you doing?

- Why do you care? I said, no.

(energetic music)

- Do you guys see this machine? It's indestructible.

You could drop it from a plane, it wouldn't even dent.

The sound is crystal sharp, it never skips.

All right.

You know the Red Blister CD?

The best CD of the last century,

the best CD of the last millennium.

I'll put it in for free if you buy the CD player,

what do you say?

- I say what's up.

- Hey. Nothing.

How about you guys go to the court,

I'll just meet you there in a sec, all right?

- Why? - Nothing.

This guy just wants to buy this off of me.

- And you're selling it? You love that.

That's all you wanted for your birthday last year.

- It sounds horrible.

It scapes and you know, Red Blisters, way overrated.

- I think he's delusional.

- So, you'll meet us in just one sec.

- Just make it two secs, all right?

- Okay.

- I'll see you in a bit.

- What's up with that?

- Don't you get it? He has to sell it.

He can't afford the new shoes.

- So, what do you say? (energetic music)

- Hey!

Artistic property. What about personal property?

Like how about asking before you paint my face?

- Can I paint your face?

- No.

- Mess your pretty hair a little bit.

- I said no.

- Come on, I wanted to have that.

I've just done battle look.

- I have just done battle. I am in the middle of a battle.

Look, if you want me to pose for you then deal.

You get my face and I get yours.

All I want is a picture, it's just the same as you.

Just a simple picture.

Smiling optional.

- Deal.

- Come on, Brett, enough of this fancy stuff.

(funky music)

You're going too far. Go for the net.

Elbows in.

You are not following through.

Follow through with the shot.

Flick your wrist. Flick it.

You're jumping too soon. Aim for the box.

- Man, can I miss this morning?

(funky music)

- And you?

(funky music)

- It's the shoes. It's got him.

He's gonna wear them until they fall apart.

(funky music)

- [Griffen] Let's hit The Diner. My treat.

- I gotta be home by 4:00. What time is it?

- Sorry, I don't know have a watch.

- I got one.

10 bucks.

I haven't used this thing in weeks.

- What time is it? - 3:10.

- Let's go. - All right.

- 20 bucks.

- Come on man, let's go. - Yeah, I'm coming.

(funky music)

This is unbelievable.

- It must be your lucky day.

(funky music)

- I don't need your money.

(funky music)

- Great. Don't you have to sign it?

- Blue. Now, you can take the picture.

- Perfect. Out of film.

- You never told me why you needed a picture of me so bad.

- New job, my first.

- Hey! What do you think you're doing?

That's my truck!

(energetic music) - No, wait!

(energetic music)

(funky music)

- Like Mariah is gonna buy a picture of a truck.

The chances of him coming back...

It's no good. Not without blue.

- What you guys did this afternoon, that was not cool.

- We were trying to help.

- I don't need your help.

- Okay, all right. Now we know.

Ever since my dad lost his job,

my mum's been buying our clothes

at church bazaars and stuff.

Here, I'm just waiting for some kid at school to come up

and ask for his clothes back.

I really wanted those shoes.

I'm just 50 bucks short.

(Griffen exhales deeply)

- Well, you could always sell your old shoes.

- Are you making fun of me again?

- No. I'm laughing with you, not at you.

- [Caitlin] Hey, I know how you can make 50 bucks.

- There is no way I'm putting this in.

- [Caitlin] Well, then there's no way

you're getting the 50 bucks.

- I'm a jock, not a freak.

- It's a clip on you.

Come on, Brett.

Do you know what it means to be published

in a real newspaper?

- Like winning the High River Summer sh**t-off?

So, what does this blue guy look like anyway?

- He's a little shorter, thinner.

You both have nose rings.

- So, what happens if he sees the papers?

- Well, it's his own fault.

He ran off before I could take his picture.

Now, do something that says graffiti artist.

Think radical.

(funky music) (camera clicking)

Perfect.

(funky music)

Now, get up on top of the thing and...

Yeah. You're blocking it.

That's good.

(funky music)

All right. (chuckles)

(funky music) (camera clicking)

(Caitlin chuckles) (funky music)

That's not good.

(Brett chuckles) - I'm sorry.

(funky music) (camera clicking)

- Come off. (funky music)

(funky music ends)

I know they're not professionally developed and everything.

I had used a one hour photo, but...

- Your prospect is a little boring.

You could have increased the estop a bit.

But this blue guy, his face is totally absorbing

and his graffiti is fantastic.

The little creative cropping-

- Crop away.

- Okay, so who would I make this checkout to?

Unless, of course the bank has cash and checks

made out to princess these days.

- Caitlin Seeger.

- Nice make-over by the way.

- So, can I come back with more photos?

- Anytime.

Oh, you forgot to sign the release form.

- [Brett] Are you okay? Did you get it?

- [Caitlin] Right, she bought it.

- [Brett] We got the 50 bucks!

Do you see, we got the 50 bucks?

Whoa!

We made all 50 bucks.

- Dori, Jim, I'm getting published.

- Tremor, bought your pictures? That's great!

- That is great. Well, your first job.

Hey, is somebody from your paper called Mariah?

- Yeah, they probably want more pictures.

Hey Griff, you're here. Caitlin's getting published.

- All right, so when I am a superstar basketball coach

you could take my picture.

- I don't know, those are "never gonna happen days,"

you're looking pretty busy.

(phone ringing)

Hello. Hi Mariah, it's Caitlin.

Oh!

Well, no one's gonna know. I...

But he left. There was nothing I could do.

Just give me another chance and I-

(phone line cuts)

(somber music)

- Caitlin? (cattle moos)

Caitlin!

- I wonder what happened.

- [Dori] Griffen.

- All right.

So, maybe Brett needed some cash

and then maybe Caitlin needed (indistinct)

for a graffiti artist who took off on her.

But did I tell you

that my basketball coaching is going really well?

- Wait, so these photographs she took, she faked them?

- Yes, but in a nice way.

(Dori exhales deeply)

- She was so excited about that job.

- Hey Caitlin. You're just in time.

Caitlin, I want you to take a photograph,

so I know exactly how they look

the first time I put 'em on.

- Tremor fired me. - What?

- Mariah, she saw you and I together

and I have to give her the money back, but...

- But you don't have the money.

I'll give you the receipt later. I just...

It sits in a frame at home.

- Brett, I'm sorry. - No.

It's okay. I gotta get ready to play.

(bells ringing)

- [Man] Round 1.

(funky music)

(camera clicks)

(Caitlin chuckles) - That was a double shot, man.

(commentator speaks faintly)

(funky music)

(wind whooshing)

(funky music)

(crowd cheers) (funky music)

(crowd cheers)

(camera clicks)

- Three down, baby! Three down.

(crowd cheering)

- And you don't even notice it.

- [Guy] This man is an All-Star.

(funky music)

(wind whooshing)

(funky music)

(crowd cheering) (funky music)

- [Commentator] It's anybody's game.

The next one decides the winner.

(funky music)

- [Guy] You can do it, Brett. You can do it.

(funky music)

(camera clicks)

(crowd cheering) (Caitlin chuckles)

(Caitlin cheers)

(funky music)

(camera clicks)

- Great game.

- At least you got some real pictures of me this time.

- Real pictures of you.

Come here.

- Do I have to wear the nose ring this time?

(footsteps pattering)

- Well, I've already bought one set

of useless photos this week.

Do you actually expect me to buy two?

- Well, we're thinking, instead of dumping the photos

how about using them?

- And why would I do that?

- Because they tell a story. A real story.

About how I thought I needed cool shoes

to win a basketball tournament.

- And how I was judged by a graffiti artist

and an editor by the way I looked.

- But we prove that those value stink.

I won the tournament wearing these.

(telephone ringing in distance)

- Look, they may not shake you up but...

- Caitlin Seeger, you are full of surprises, aren't you?

(telephone still ringing in distance)

(soft music)

They are actually pretty good.

So, we gotta a press tomorrow morning,

and I'm gonna need that copy in an hour.

- It's already written.

- Well, then I think this is yours.

(soft music)

- I think I like my old pair more than these.

(horse snorts) So, they had a few holes.

- They were more tape than shoe.

- Yeah, but at least it was comfortable tape.

- [Caitlin] Who would have thought

that any of this would happen.

That my big story would be about a guy winning a tournament

in cheesy hand-me-down shoes,

or that High River would be a good place

for stories to shake up the world,

or that I'd get my first pictures published.

(Caitlin chuckles)
