Jane by Design (2011) s01e11 Episode Script

That's me.
Jane Quimby.
My life is a little complicated right now.
I landed my fashion dream job working for her, Gray Chandler Murray.
The only problem, they think I'm an adult.
Now I am juggling two secret lives, one in high school and one in high fashion.
Do you trust India? I just think she's a little shady.
I'm afraid we have to say goodbye.
I hope you're happy.
You did this to yourself, India.
You got the wrong person.
All right, fellas.
Here's how it's going down.
Are you robbing this place, Tommy? Let's go! Let's go! A couple months at New Hall Youth Detention might give Mr.
Nutter ample time to think about those mistakes and their implications.
I saw her with Nick.
They were kissing, Janey.
It's not what you think.
- Just let me - Don't.
I can't talk to you.
And you really deserve the perfect guy, Rita Shaw.
You are perfect.
I really have no idea how to say this.
So I'm just gonna say it.
It's you, Janey.
Jane.
Jane! Let's go.
You're gonna be late for school again, truant.
That guidance counselor of yours is gonna come down on you hard.
You know how Miss Shaw can be.
Ben.
It's a little weird that you call your girlfriend "Miss Shaw.
" Oh, you mean Rita.
Hey.
Are you really that busy? Yes.
And no.
I'm nervous, Ben.
Two months is a long time.
What if Billy's different? What if he doesn't want to see me? Jane.
He was in a juvenile detention center, not a brainwashing camp.
You'll be the first person he wants to see.
Besides, why would anything be different with you two? Well, the thing is I might not have told you everything that happened that night at the fashion show.
See, when Billy showed up he sort of Well, he I'm waiting.
Bated breath over here.
He said something.
And would you like to tell me what that something was, exactly? He said, "It's you.
" - It's you? - Yeah.
- Oh, boy.
- What? Then what happened? Well, then Jeremy came in and I didn't know what to do and then Billy ran out and the next morning he got sent away and for the past two months it's been playing on a loop in my head.
"It's you, it's you, it's you.
" What do you think it means? Well, I may be totally off-base here, but did you ever think he might have meant it romantically? No.
No, no, no.
I did think that for a second.
But I don't think that's it.
But I guess it can be.
I don't know.
Maybe it is.
I don't know.
Would that be so weird? Well, he's my best friend and I don't want to run the risk of ruining that, right? - I can't answer that.
- Then what good are you? Just go pick up Billy and you two will figure it out.
You know why? Because you guys are like this.
You can figure out anything.
I sure hope so.
I missed you.
I missed you, too, Janey.
Jane By Design 1x11 - The Replacement Original air date June 5, 2012 That's it? Yeah, I mean, I don't know what else to say.
It was pretty uneventful.
You were in a juvenile detention center.
So? So, was it scary? Were the guards mean? Did you make any friends? How was the food? Did you Jane.
Look.
I wasn't in Alcatraz or anything, okay? I just I'd rather talk about something else, okay? Okay.
Maybe we should talk about, you know Yeah, you! So, what about you? What's been going on with that whole super secret double life of yours since I've been away? Oh.
Nothing, really.
- How's Jeremy? - Jeremy? Yeah, you guys are together, right? No.
We've never been together.
He doesn't even know that I'm in high school.
And we work together.
I could never do that.
Speaking of work.
How is it? Well, things have been crazy ever since India got fired.
Gray has been using me for everything.
It's nuts.
And she's been through at least a dozen people to fill India's job.
Wow.
That's a lot of people.
Tell me about it.
And you should see the stuff that she's having me do.
I can't even believe it.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love being creatively involved at Donovan Decker You okay? Let's just say to be back here again.
And this place same way about me.
Don't worry about them.
And, Billy Yeah? Are we okay? Shouldn't we, talk or something? You've been talking non-stop ever since we got in the car, Jane.
Right.
I mean, about We're good.
Yeah.
There's nothing for us to talk about, okay? Unless you want to talk about that.
You have got to be kidding me.
Yep.
Lulu and Nick.
They've been an item ever since you left school.
Looks like it's just back to being the two of us.
Yeah.
The two of us.
Jane, I have to be honest.
I'm a little disappointed.
Disappointed? I'm just surprised.
That's all.
This progress report does not reflect the academic performance of the Jane Quimby that I know.
Your grades are slipping in every class but ceramics.
Well, that's good, right? - Your brother got an A in ceramics.
- Ouch.
And it's not just your grades.
Your attendance last month? Let's just say it was less than perfect.
I know.
I'm sorry.
This internship is interfering with your life.
Your grades aren't what they used to be, you have multiple tardies and absences and that just can't happen.
I know, I know.
But I'm not just looking off into the future for my dream job.
I mean, I'm already here.
This is my life.
It's just an internship, Jane.
It's not.
I'm working with designers and I'm being exposed to this whole world of fashion that you can't learn in a classroom.
I'm living it every day.
You can't buy that kind of experience, you know? Fine.
But I need to see some real changes.
Because if this doesn't improve, I can't sign off on the internship program for you next semester.
Especially if you're not Wait.
Are you texting someone right now? Uh, what? No.
I am just typing a reminder to myself to shape up at school.
Stat.
I promise I'll get things back on track at school.
You have my word.
Sorry.
I know this might sound harsh, but you've been an incredible disappointment, Sally.
It's Suzy.
Your work has been lackluster.
Your ideas, well, you simply have none.
In your time here at Donovan Decker, you've yet to show any real promise.
But I've only been working here for two days.
Two days too many, I'm afraid.
You're fired.
That'll be all.
What? That's five this month, Gray.
Well, it's been harder to replace India than I might've realized.
Perhaps if you But I'm not worried.
I have a new prospect in mind.
Someone young and unexpected.
Someone not boxed in by years of design experience.
You don't mean You're not talking about I have to go.
My next appointment is here.
Oh, hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Martyn! Gray, darling! So.
Classic.
Clean.
Powerful.
It's a whole new delicious look to match your title of Creative Director.
What do you think? Do you like it? I'm afraid I don't.
I love it.
You're a genius.
Thank you, Carter.
Girl, how many hats does Gray have you wearing right now? More than you own.
I doubt that.
Am I the only one that's twice as busy since India left? I think we're all starting to feel the pressure.
But you more than anyone.
'Cause whenever Gray says jump I say, "Over whom?" And, "In pumps or flats?" I just really hope this new girl works out.
Well, don't get your hopes up.
Hey.
What can I do for you, muffin? That's a "no" on kissing at work and the whole muffin thing.
Yeah, I know.
It didn't quite feel right coming out.
I need the kids here to respect me, Ben.
We need to be professional.
Got it.
We're on the same page.
So, what's up? I had a conversation with Jane this morning.
I'm just a little concerned.
Don't worry.
She's good with it.
- With what? - With us dating.
No.
Ben.
I'm concerned about Jane.
I just got her progress report and she's falling behind.
I think this internship is just too demanding on her, don't you? Actually, I kind of think it's been good.
But I promise I'll make sure she stays focused on school.
You know why? Because your love life depends on it? Bingo.
I know you've all been working tremendously hard lately.
But you're gonna have to work tremendously harder.
Donovan Decker has been selected to collaborate on a capsule collection with one of the world's most famous luxury department stores, Harrods.
That is, unless we blow it.
And we cannot blow it.
Understood? Okay.
Didn't I fire you? No.
Oh.
See me in my office afterwards.
The style director assigned to oversee our Harrods collection will be coming by tomorrow.
Now, can anyone tell me what is our number one priority? Carter? Um, to impress the style director and ensure Harrods is confident that Donovan Decker has what it takes? Precisely.
Now, I need all hands on deck for the next two days.
No exceptions.
Is that clear? If that is clear, then walk away and get back to work.
Now.
Can I talk to you for a moment? As long as Gray doesn't see.
Because apparently, we're all supposed to be working tremendously harder than we were before.
Whatever that means.
Did you hear that she fired Sally? - Do you mean Suzy? - Right.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm turning into Gray, aren't I? - Jane - Not that that would be a bad thing.
- I just think What? - Jane! I'm going to tell you something and I need you not to react, okay? - Okay? - No, no, no, no.
I'm serious, Jane.
Okay.
Gray is giving you India's old job.
What? Me? No reaction.
Right.
Take over India's job? I am so not ready for that.
Then you best get ready.
Janey? You ready? Almost! I'll be out in a minute! - Morning, Miss Shaw.
- Good morning, Billy.
You mind handing me the milk? Yes.
Of course.
Oh, and Miss Shaw? Yes, Billy? I think your toast is ready.
Wait.
You're actually considering this? No.
Yes? I don't know.
I mean, taking India's old job would be the opportunity of a lifetime.
How could I say no? - What's wrong? - Nothing, I I just You'd really consider leaving here? Just leaving school behind? Maybe.
Why? No reason.
Talk to me, Billy.
No, I'm good.
Oh, you're good? Is that right? Yeah.
It is.
- Fine.
Whatever.
- So, now you're mad at me? Yeah.
I am.
Billy, you've been shutting me out.
About everything.
What is going on with you? And how can I help if you won't even talk to me? What do you want to talk about? For starters, how about the fashion show? You ran out before we could even have a conversation.
It was nothing, Janey.
Nothing? That's your story? Look, I was in a bad place.
I was getting sent away.
That's it.
There's nothing for us to talk about.
Things are different now.
I'm different.
Yeah, tell me about it.
What is that supposed to mean? It means you have changed.
And, if you ask me, it's not for the better.
Hmm.
I didn't ask you, Jane.
Fine! Then be that way! - I will! - Well, then do it! I said I will! What was that about? I don't know, Ben.
Maybe I took your advice and I tried to talk to him about the whole "it's you" thing and maybe it backfired.
Sorry about that.
I'm worried about Billy.
It can't be easy for him to fall back into his old life here.
Well, maybe you could help him find something positive to focus on? Such as? I don't know, maybe an activity or something? Like mathletes.
Or chess club.
- I'm being serious, Rita.
- So am I.
Come on.
Chess? Mathletes? What, do you want him to be more of an outcast? Those are terrible clubs.
I was in those clubs, Ben.
And you were adorable doing it.
Shoot.
Vice Principal Jenkins! What a surprise to see you! In the hall.
At school.
Where we work.
Hey, Rita.
What're you naughty kids up to this fine morning? Naughty? Why would you even We are Were We were just talking.
That is all.
I said "mop"! - And I'll stop talking now.
- Good idea.
Good morning, Jenkins.
Good morning, Rita.
And Ben.
That was close.
No.
That was awkward.
Really awkward.
What's gotten into you? You said you want to keep it professional at work, right? - Do you think he knows? - Knows what? About you and me, of course.
How would he know that, Ben? Are you kidding? We ooze chemistry.
Don't say ooze.
Hi.
Hi.
How are you, Billy? Oh, you know how it is, just trying to get my bearings back.
- That's good.
- Yep.
So, what's been going on with you? Sorry.
Stupid question.
So, you and Fadden, huh? How's that one working out for you? To be honest, I thought it was going pretty well.
That is until you got back.
I thought I could forget about us, b There is no more us, Lu.
But I really do hope things between you and Nick work out.
Because you deserve it.
You're precipitating.
- Excuse me? - Your calcium is starting to form a precipitate.
You should dry out the crystals.
Oh.
Um Thanks.
- Busy, huh? - Mmm-hmm.
You're not gonna cut me any slack here, are you? Maybe.
But just a little.
Okay.
I guess I deserve that.
I'm really sorry, Jane.
For what it's worth, I made a big mistake.
Huge, in fact.
And I regret it.
It's fine.
Really, I'm just distracted.
And you know what? I think it all worked out for the best.
You and Lulu seem very happy.
Yeah.
The thing is I Is everything okay? Yeah, it's just, um Oh, I, uh I have to go.
Oh.
Yeah.
Thanks.
You wanted to see me, Ben? Good hands.
Good hands.
Thanks.
First day back.
How're you doing? I'm fine, Ben.
Oh, I get it.
This must be the part where you ask me how I'm adjusting.
No, I just thought now that you're back, you might want to hit the ground running.
Find a positive outlet.
For what? I don't know, something to keep you busy.
Focus your energy.
Such as How about football? Seriously? Yeah.
You got a pair of hands on you.
I mean, you're a little stringy, but you're probably very elusive.
Hard to tackle.
Baseball? Oh, my.
Are you kidding me right now? Why not just give it a shot? Look, Ben.
I appreciate you trying to help reacclimate me or whatever it is that you're trying to do here.
But, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm not really the team sport type.
Are you sure you're doing okay? I'm fine.
Because, Jane told me about Do you really want to do this, Benjamin? - I'd like to.
- I'd prefer if we didn't.
Excuse me.
Coming through.
Hi, guys.
I have to leave school because of an emergency at work and Rita can't know under any circumstances because then I would lose my internship and that can't happen.
So I really need you guys to help me out okay? Can you cover for me? - I don't think so.
- No way.
What? Look, I know that you are mad at me and that you don't really like to do this sort of thing, but can't you just cover for me? Maybe like a cold, cramps, anything.
I don't like lying to Rita.
It's just a teeny-tiny little white lie.
And that's how it all starts.
That's correct.
Fine.
I don't need your help.
I can handle this on my own.
Oops.
Sorry.
Sorry.
That's okay.
Hey, I'm actually a little lost.
Oh, well, maybe I can point you in the right direction.
Who are you delivering those to? You think I'm a flower delivery guy? I did.
A second ago.
But now I'm a little unsure.
They're for Gray Chandler Murray.
Oh.
Great.
I'm Gray's assistant.
Jane.
So I can just take those to her.
I'd rather give them to her myself if that's okay.
The thing is Gray's not exactly the hand delivery type.
What type is she? She's more of a "don't bother me with that kind of crap" type.
So, if you're not the flower delivery guy, who are you? Eli.
I have an appointment with Gray.
Today? No, it's tomorrow.
I just thought I'd get here early in case I got lost.
Why would you get here a whole day Oh, that was a joke.
- Funny.
- You didn't laugh.
Well, it wasn't laugh out loud funny.
The thing is Gray doesn't have any appointments today.
Well, she called me directly.
Gray? Called you? On the phone? Yeah.
Crazy, right? So, what is this appointment about? Something about a job opening.
A job.
And you're interviewing for it? Yeah.
Are you gonna point me in the right direction or should I Oh, gosh.
Yes, sorry.
Right this way.
So, you got any tips for me? Tips? Yeah, you know, like advice for the interview.
Oh, um, just don't take anything Gray says to you personally.
She can be a little cold.
So, you're saying she's mean? Oh, no, no, no.
Not mean.
- She's just not very - Nice? Eli, you're here! Oh! And you brought me flowers.
Yeah, well, I haven't seen you in a while.
And I know lilies are your favorite.
Jane, I see you've met my nephew, Eli.
Yeah, we Nephew? Yeah.
Jane was actually just talking about you.
Oh.
And what did she say? Only that you're warm and gorgeous and incredibly talented.
Is that right? That is right.
Eli, come into my office.
Jane, hold all my calls.
It was nice to meet you, Jane.
Nephew? Who is that? His name is Eli.
I don't like the look of him.
Well, you should probably keep that one to yourself.
And why is that? Because he is Gray's nephew.
And from the looks of it, he might also be India's new replacement.
He seems great.
He is.
Something you want to add? No.
I Spit it out, Jane.
I just I feel a little silly saying this, but for a second there I thought that I was in the running for India's job.
You are.
Where's Jane? My sister, Jane? Yes, Ben.
Your sister Jane.
I heard she went home early.
And right after I had that talk with her.
Did you know about this? Yes.
I am aware of her departure.
What'd she say? She said some things about cramps.
Cramps.
Cramps.
You know, lady stuff.
I'm not that familiar with lady stuff, so I'd really rather not discuss it.
Uh-huh.
Hi, Billy.
Hello, Miss Shaw.
I heard Jane went home.
She okay? She'll be fine.
Just a cold.
- Is that right? - Mmm-hmm.
- A cold? - Yeah.
All right, peace.
White chocolate half-caff latte.
Your favorite.
And I picked up the tear sheets that you wanted this morning.
And I got you a reservation tomorrow night at Per Se.
I thought you said they were booked up for the next two months.
They are.
I pulled some strings.
Well done, Jane.
And I thought you might like to take a look at these.
- What's this? - Some sketches.
Of mine.
Just some new ideas for the accessories line.
I'll take a look.
Impressive.
You're still here.
Yeah, Gray said I should stick around a while and check out the place.
Is that right? It is.
That's nice.
Hey.
Hello, Jane.
Can I ask you a question? - You just did.
- What? You asked if you could ask me something.
Technically, that is a question.
Sometimes you are way too British.
There's no such thing.
Okay, come on, I'm serious, Jeremy.
At your service, Miss Quimby.
Okay, so about this whole job offer thing.
Do you really think it's a good idea? In what respect? Well, in that I'm an assistant.
And the closest I've come to studying design is, I don't know, the endless hours I spent poring over theversastyle.
com and fashion magazines every weekend.
This is a huge job.
Why would Gray trust me to handle something like this? Because you can.
Eli seems way more qualified and he's He's nothing to worry about.
You have to run your own race, Jane.
And you, you've got what it takes.
You really think so? I know so.
Plus, you deserve it.
Thank you.
I just really don't know if this is the right thing for me right now.
Are you insane? I have a lot of stuff going on at home.
My best friend was away for a while and now he's back and Is this the same friend from the fashion show? Isn't he the reason you turned me down? Jeremy, we've talked about this.
You're my mentor and my friend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No need to rub it in.
All I'm saying is I don't know if it's the right time to leave him To leave him behind.
That is why he was so upset.
I'm not really following your chain of thought here.
Oh, it's nothing.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Thank you for all of your help.
You're welcome.
Sup? Wow! One one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand - Hey, you.
- What's going on with you? I was parched.
You're avoiding me.
What are you talking about? I'm trying to keep things discreet.
Between us.
You know? You're lying to me about Jane.
What? No.
Billy said she has a cold.
- That was me! - You said she had cramps.
Did not.
I have to go.
Go where? I have to go to the house to check on Jane.
You've got me really worried about these cold cramps.
That's a great idea.
I'm going with you.
And if Jane isn't home sick in bed, that internship of hers is over.
- You have to get Jane home! Now! - What happened? The collective brain power of you and me.
That's what happened.
You said cramps, didn't you? There's no time for blame.
Yes.
I said cramps.
You just couldn't stay out of it, could you? I told Rita that I was going home to check on Jane, and now she's coming with me.
So Jane has to be home, in bed, sick, and fast.
I thought we were staying out of it.
Can't you just call her? I've called her like a dozen times.
It keeps going to voicemail.
Ben, it's just the whole racing to save Jane thing, it's not really my problem anymore.
Look.
I'm not happy about this either, and I know you two are going through some sort of weird time right now, but she needs us.
Otherwise this whole fashion dream thing of hers is out the window.
She's my sister.
I can't bring myself to do that to her.
Can you? I can't compete with this guy.
Trust me.
She's not going to hire her nephew.
You sure about that? Look, I didn't go to school for design.
And I know my technique isn't exactly refined like the rest of you extremely talented people.
But, given the chance, I might be able to bring something new to the table here at Donovan Decker.
Something different.
Something fresh.
Now I heard that you're already selling your own line, is that true? I do what I can.
Mostly, right now I'm just selling my stuff at pop-up shops or on the street.
Honestly, the money I make barely covers materials, but I love it.
And that's what it's all about.
Yeah, I think so, too, Carter.
Are you listening to this? He's perfect.
He's charming and talented and good-looking He's not that good-looking.
I'm serious, Jeremy.
There's no way I actually have a chance of getting this job.
Not if I'm up against a guy like that.
Which I am.
Please.
It's a courtesy, Jane.
A family obligation.
This is Gray we're talking about.
She's not going to actually hire anyone she has to be nice to.
Good point.
You are probably right.
Yeah, I'm always right.
You said we were leaving to check on Jane 20 minutes ago.
And we are.
I just have to grade a few more of these puppies and we are on our way.
Ten minutes, Ben.
And then we're going.
Understood? Understood.
And if I find out you are lying, we're gonna have a serious issue.
I'm pleased to announce that I have found the perfect person to fill the vacancy left by India Jourdain.
- It's you.
- What? I'm certain of it.
This person has proven that they have exceptional creativity and style.
This person is destined to be a rising star here at Donovan Decker.
This person is Wait! What, Jane? I'm sorry.
I just I can't.
Can't? I can't do this.
I'd like to take myself out of the running.
I'm so sorry, Gray.
I really am grateful.
I just I don't think I'm ready for this.
And I agree.
Which is why I'm pleased to introduce our newest designer, Eli Chandler.
Billy, what are you doing here? - We need to get you home.
- What happened? What do you think happened? Ben said cramps, didn't he? Yeah.
You know your brother doesn't think fast on his feet.
This is true.
And now Miss Shaw is on her way to your house to visit your sickbed.
What do you think's faster right now? You came for me.
I did.
And I'm not gonna let that be for nothing.
Come on.
We have to get you home.
Now.
Jane, I'm on my way to the house.
I've stalled as long as I can and I just can't keep lying to Rita.
Your chariot awaits.
Mmm-hmm.
Drive.
Now.
What was that for? No reason.
- Oh, this is a shortcut.
- Oh! Come on, Janey! Oh, wait.
Pajamas! Jane? Jane? Are you feeling okay? Maybe we should just let her sleep a little bit.
Wait a minute.
What is going on here? Oh, hey guys.
I'm feeling much Much better.
I just have a cold.
And cramps.
So I just needed to Double whammy.
Hmm.
Well, feel better, okay, Jane? Thanks, Miss Shaw.
- I'm sorry, Ben.
- For what? For the whole manhunt thing.
Coming down on you.
Honestly, I feel terrible for questioning you, accusing you of lying.
I don't know what got into me.
I think you're just being the best guidance counselor in the history of guidance counselors, that's all.
Thank you.
That was far, far too close.
Tell me about it.
Oh, my gosh.
And how about me turning down that job that I wasn't even being offered? So embarrassing.
It wasn't so bad.
Okay, it was pretty bad.
I counted eight people cringing.
Did you count me? Okay.
Nine.
I know you wanted that job.
Honestly, I wasn't ready to leave being a teenager behind just yet.
And I am definitely not ready to leave you.
Two months away.
It was a long time, Billy.
I missed you.
I missed you, too, Janey.
Being away was terrible and lonely.
But knowing you'd be here waiting was the only thing that got me through.
I have to ask you You said, "It's you," and I need to know if you meant I meant that it's you, Janey.
You are my best friend.
The very best.
And I don't want that to ever change.
Because that's what's most important, right? Yeah.
It is.
Remember.
We must impress this Harrods style director at any cost.
Donovan is depending on us.
Hello, losers.
That's right.
I'm the one you've been waiting for.
Where's Jane? I can't wait to catch up.
