Jane by Design (2011) s01e18 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.
Does that mean you're leaving? Baseball wants me! I know I was the one who wanted distance and I'm sorry.
If we were still together I wouldn't be getting on this bus right now.
Why do you have a problem with the sleepovers? Oh, I don't have a problem with them.
Because there won't be anymore.
You're throwing the party of the century.
Make sure nothing breaks or burns.
Unless Jeremy appears, designs in hand, Harrods is pulling the plug.
You need to find him and get him back.
- Jane should go.
- Jane? Jeremy.
Oh.
I was just a puppet.
To Beau, to Gray.
I'm done.
- Hello? - Hi, Gray.
Jane! Finally.
Did you locate Jeremy? Yeah, I was just talking to him.
Thank God! Where was he? Um In a pub.
And they have great food.
- Jane! - He said no! No? That's it? He said no? Well, the bottom line is he refuses to help.
Did you emphasize how important those designs are to Donovan Decker? Yeah, that came up.
But I didn't want to pressure him.
He's my friend.
Exactly.
That's why I sent you.
I thought you sent me because you trusted me, because I was the most qualified.
Most qualified? Jane, grow up.
I sent you all the way to Europe, first class, and this is what you bring me? I did everything I could, Gray.
You failed, and now this company stands to lose a multi-million dollar client.
I'm sorry.
I really Hello? Just for the record, you sent me coach.
I told you my mind is made up.
I'm not here to ask for anything.
- Jane - I promise.
Look, I'm not here for Gray or the designs or any of that.
I have a plane to catch in a few hours and I just I wanted to say goodbye.
I'm sorry, Jane.
I wish I could help.
I just I can't.
- I don't blame you.
- Really? I felt like you were upset with me earlier on.
Well, I was frustrated.
And I got to thinking about what you said and Anyway, I know what it feels like to be treated like a puppet.
Let me guess.
You reported back to Gray.
Good guess.
She totally used me.
That's our Gray.
Spreading sunshine wherever she goes.
Look, I still think what you did, giving our secrets to Beau, that was wrong.
But I forgive you.
You're still my friend.
Well, I should get going.
Take care, Jane.
I'll miss you.
Hold it! Did you really mean what you said about us being friends? Every word.
Then we better get the designs.
How much time do we have? Uh We have to be at Harrods by 5:00.
Then we better hurry.
Oh, wait.
Good luck.
Thanks.
- Hey.
- Hey! So, how'd it go? Well, they seemed happy to see me.
But what about the designs? - They're looking at them now.
- Okay.
We should know any minute.
God, I hope they like them.
They will.
Why do I care? I don't work for Donovan Decker anymore.
Well, they were your designs.
And for what it's worth, I think they're amazing.
Thank you.
It's Gray.
Moment of truth.
Well, what does it say? They loved it! Jane By Design 1x18 - Bonus Check Original air date July 31, 2012 Thank you, Jeremy.
You're a good friend.
It's nice to hear you call me your friend again.
And thank you for what you said before.
You have a gift.
And I would hate to see it go to waste.
Take care, Jane Quimby.
Eli, what is this? I got a text to come straight here.
We all wanted to be here to greet you.
You kicked some major butt across the pond.
Jane Quimby.
If not for you, the Harrods account would have been lost.
Congratulations! Thank you.
But it was really Jeremy's designs that did it.
That's what I said.
Still, you made it happen.
And I just want it to be known that I never doubted you for a minute.
Yeah, I felt that support every time we talked.
Now, there's one more important matter at hand.
What's this? A well-deserved bonus check.
Donovan Decker wanted you to know how much we appreciate what you accomplished in London.
I'm telling you, Jane, the party was out of control sick.
Just totally insane.
Who showed up? - Who didn't show up? - Me.
All right.
That doesn't matter, all right? You are now officially a legend at Whitemarsh High! - I am? - Oh, yeah.
Okay, I told everybody that you were making out in a bathroom with a college dude.
That's brilliant.
So now I am a legend with mystique! That is right.
And you are welcome.
Thanks.
That'll help erase the sting of me not being there.
Of course, this does not hurt, either.
And what's that? It's just something that we in the biz like to call a job well done.
Oh! $5,000! Yep! I'm totally rich! Okay, wait, wait, wait.
If you're rich, what does that make me? Best friends with somebody who is totally rich.
I think I can take that.
Mmm-hmm.
So, what are you gonna buy first? Well, at first I thought about blowing it all on purses and shoes but then I thought, what could I buy that could benefit us both.
Okay.
I'm liking where this is going.
Mmm-hmm, I thought you might.
And so, tomorrow after school I'm gonna make the down payment on a new car.
Are you serious? Yes.
It is time to say goodbye to the Beast.
I'm really proud of you.
Thanks.
Oh, wealth, popularity, all is finally right in the world.
That lasted two seconds.
What? Yeah.
You know, I thought it would be better to lead in with the good stuff, and then just save the bad for the end.
How bad? The costumes! Gosh! Oh! Billy! What happened? Unfortunately, there's a price to be paid for out of control, super sick parties.
The school play opens tomorrow night.
How am I going to repair all of these costumes by then? This could not get any worse.
You've got to be kidding.
What now? You've been home alone for the past two weeks.
Exactly how many unsupervised parties have you had? The other night was the first.
And the last! I promise.
What are you doing? I promised Billy I'd talk to you first before calling Ben.
I did.
And now I'm calling him.
Please, please don't do that.
You've given me no reason not to.
You're not old enough to live on your own.
Look, I haven't really been alone.
I mean, Billy's been staying with me at night.
Okay, not making me feel any better.
I just didn't want Ben to miss out on his dream, again, because of me.
I couldn't live with that hanging over my head.
I realize that, but He's a professional baseball player now.
I mean, do you really want to ruin that for him? Thank you, Miss Shaw.
Don't get too excited.
Until we figure something out, I'm moving in with you.
I forget.
What's the next part again? Prince Charming takes your hand and says, "Will you have this dance with me?" And you say, "It would be my honor.
" You're not even looking at the script and you know the lines better than I do.
Yeah, well, I've been keeping a close eye on your rehearsals.
You're not getting weird about Nick and me again, are you? Eh, it's not my favorite thing watching you two onstage, gazing into each other's eyes.
But I'm feeling pretty good about us right now.
Me, too.
As much as I hate to admit it, killer party, Jane! Thanks! Have you talked to her since she got back? No.
I've just been keeping my distance.
Come on, Zoe.
This is important to me.
Okay? I want you and Jane to be friends.
It's not just me, Billy.
I get the feeling that Jane doesn't like me very much.
I'll see you at lunch.
Hey, Janey.
How's it going? Don't ask.
I have a test in 10 minutes.
And I still have to finish all the costumes by tonight, which I have no idea how I'm going to do.
And on top of that, Miss Shaw just announced she's moving in with me.
Ooh! Living with the guidance counselor? That is rough.
Yeah.
It's hard to go back once you've had a taste of freedom.
Sorry.
You know, we tried to throw Miss Shaw off the scent, but Zoe was just not trained for Code Red.
You did your best.
All right, well, I'll see you later.
Hey, Billy? Uh, what was Zoe doing there? Where? At my house.
You just said she was there when Miss Shaw showed up in the morning and Did she spend the night? Yeah, yeah.
She just crashed on the couch.
That's it? Nothing else? Wait, so you told her nothing happened? Yeah.
So you lied to her.
It wasn't a lie, technically.
But something did happen, right? So, what's the technicality? Well, Jane asked about the night of the party.
And Zoe and I hooked up after midnight, the next day.
Dude, that would so not hold up in court.
Okay, so I wasn't completely honest.
But, why do I have to tell her? It's not anyone's business.
Why are you telling me? I don't know.
Because we're friends.
Right.
But isn't Jane supposed to be your friend? Your best friend, in fact.
You ever wonder why you can't tell her the truth about stuff like that? Oh.
India, hi.
Eli.
- Look, about the other night - Don't.
- I just - I said don't.
- India - What happened was a tragic mistake.
I totally agree.
Good.
Are we done? Yeah.
I just wanted to make sure that, you know, things were cool and that you're okay.
Hold it.
Did you think that I might actually have feelings for you? Oh, my God, you did.
How sad.
Um, rest assured, Eli, that I'm fine.
Truth is, you're just not my type.
Good.
Because I'm just starting things with Jane.
- Jane? - Yeah.
And I don't need any complications.
Really? Then why did you sleep with me? Geez, and you wonder why everybody thinks you're so cold.
I can see why Jeremy took the first flight to London.
That was over the line.
Don't worry.
I'm a big girl.
And I accept your apology.
So when are you going to tell Jane? Tell her what? About you and me.
You know, clothes flying off, legs in the air.
Jane and I have only been on one date.
We're not really in a relationship.
So, I think it would just hurt her feelings.
Okay.
I just thought it might be easier coming from you.
I think it would crush her if she heard it from someone else.
Awesome party.
Thanks, guys.
- Hey, Jane.
- Hey, Ben.
- You're back! - Yeah.
Just for a couple of days.
Thought I'd surprise you.
- That is so great.
- Is it? I was just at home.
Oh? Where's Mom? Uh Wow.
She couldn't even last two weeks.
That's a record, even for mom.
Don't be mad at mom, okay? She left before you did.
She didn't know what was going on either.
Oh, so, I should only be mad at you? Must we assign blame? Can't we just accept what is and move on? Jane.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
Mom went to be with Dakota, and I didn't want to stop you from playing baseball again, Ben.
Well, that is all very nice.
I obviously can't leave you alone.
Well, you don't have to.
Rita offered to stay with me at the house until we figure something out.
Really? She wants you to live your dream too, Ben.
And, by the way, she said she misses you.
- She said that? - Yeah.
You should talk to her.
Great party, Jane! Like I said, she really misses you.
So, go to her.
Bye.
Party? Hello? Hey, Jane, it's Carter.
I need a favor.
Carter! My life is sort of collapsing around me right now.
So if you value our friendship at all, you will call somebody else.
Look, Jane, I screwed up.
Every year, Donovan Decker donates an obscene amount of money to charities.
And he forces Gray to go to some of their events.
She hates it.
Like you had to tell me that.
There's one for tonight.
The invitation is being sent over this afternoon.
Tonight? Like, zero notice tonight? Exactly.
Will you tell her it's coming? Me? Bad news will go down smoother coming from you.
You're the golden girl who saved the company.
I knew that was gonna bite me in the ass someday.
You said you could fix that light board.
And you call yourself a geek? Leave me.
Go.
Miss Clark.
You got a sec? Uh, make it quick, Jane.
I'm kind of in a bind here.
I kind of have some bad news about the costumes.
Well, I can't take any more bad news right now, so whatever it is, just put a positive spin on it.
Okay.
Some of the costumes are ruined.
How is that a positive spin? Because all of the costumes are ruined.
What? It's okay.
There's no need to panic.
With a little money for material, I can get them all fixed in time.
Oh! Oh, no problem.
I'll just run out to the ATM and grab you some extra cash.
How much do you need? Oh, well, it's probably just like Jane, there's no extra cash.
Well, doesn't the school have, like, an emergency fund or something? Only if it involves a football.
Never for the arts.
And we just found out the entire light board is burned out.
So I'm gonna have to pay a fortune to fix it.
Maybe we can do a fundraiser.
Like a car wash or something.
Do you think we can wash I meant maybe we could Okay, forget it.
Jane, it's over.
What do you mean, it's over? I mean, I can't have a play without costumes or lights.
So I'm just gonna have to cancel the whole thing.
You wanted to see me? Please sit down.
No.
India, I realize we've had our differences this past year, and through the recent chaos and Jeremy's disappearance, it's become crystal clear that Donovan Decker is just not the same since you left.
I didn't leave.
I was fired.
A mistake.
A rare mistake on my part.
And? And you're very gifted.
We I hope you'll consider coming back and being part of the team.
But this time as lead designer.
You're serious? I would be very pleased if you would say yes.
Okay.
I accept.
But under one condition.
I want to handpick my own team.
Deal? Deal.
I'm sad the play got canceled.
Why? It's been totally lame since Lulu quit.
And let's face it, it would've sucked unless I was Cindy.
I can hear you.
Oh.
Good.
I'm gonna go get my stuff, okay? Yeah, I'll catch up with you later.
I went from being the most popular girl in school to the most hated by lunch.
Whatever.
Ignore them.
It wasn't your fault, Jane.
Not all of it.
But the costumes were my responsibility.
My beautiful glass slippers that I've been bedazzling for weeks.
They'll never be worn.
Not necessarily.
What are you doing? Just go with it.
Perfect fit.
So, um, how are you holding up with all this? The truth? Pretty bummed.
You know, I was having a good time.
I know.
I could tell.
Yeah.
Look, I know it sounds lame, Janey, but for the first time here at Whitemarsh, I actually felt like I was a part of something, you know? Like I belonged.
The drama club is where the misfits go.
I guess we should've joined up a while ago.
Don't worry.
There'll be more plays.
That's not what I heard.
Miss Clark said if it all went well tonight, we might've gotten a budget to do more shows.
But now? Who knows.
Goodbye, pretty new car.
Miss Clark? What now, Jane? Want to have a cookie drive, rebuild the science wing? Um, actually - Here.
- What's this? $5,000? I can't accept this.
You're a minor.
It's against school policy.
Damn it, why is everyone here a minor? Oh, it's not from me.
Who is it from? It's from Donovan Decker.
I have an internship there.
He's, like, really into charity for the arts.
Ah! Oh, my God! Well, this will cover everything.
They didn't know who to make it out to, so they just made it out to me.
But I already endorsed it.
So, it's all yours.
Okay, let go.
Okay.
What's all this? God, I hope this is not what's trending now.
No, these are costumes for my A theater production that I am involved with and I have to repair them by tonight.
I don't know, Jane.
This looks like a whole lot of work.
Tell me about it.
You need some help? God, yes.
I'd love some.
I don't think I can do this all on my own.
Um, actually, I'm kind of busy, so Oh, really, Carter? Because I believe that I just told Gray about a charity event that she has to go to tonight.
She almost bit my head off.
So, you owe me.
All right, fine.
What happened to that sweet little girl I used to know? I miss her.
I'm still here.
Hey.
Ben! Hi.
Uh, I heard you were back.
Have you talked to Jane? Yeah.
I'm up to speed.
And, uh, it means a lot that you would offer to stay with her.
It really does.
But I can't let you do that.
It's totally cool.
I don't mind.
I know.
But it's not necessary.
I'm not going back to the team.
Ben, this is what you've always wanted to do.
It was.
And I can't deny that it's been pretty awesome.
For a while.
And I realized this was my dream six years ago.
My life has changed.
For the better.
I have a job that I love.
I have Jane.
And I have you.
At least I want to.
We can go as slow as you want.
And if you don't want anyone in the world to know about us, I'm okay with that.
We can keep it a secret.
I just I want you back.
Rita, I I just want you back.
So, think about it.
Um, excuse me.
Hi.
Um, I have an invitation for Donovan Decker.
He made a very charitable donation to our school.
Right.
We were expecting this.
Really? It's for tonight.
Yes.
I'll make sure it gets in the right hands.
Okay, great.
Hmm.
So, bottom of the 9th.
Two outs.
We're up by one.
I'm in the zone.
I'm un-hittable.
Except for the seven hits I'd given up earlier.
When they call in a pinch hitter.
And guess who comes up to the plate? Albert Pujols.
Wait, did you strike out Albert Pujols? No, I did not.
He hit it.
Far.
Very, very far.
In fact, he launched that ball into the atmosphere so hard that I don't think it has landed yet.
Sorry, Coach.
Are you kidding? It was beautiful.
Hey, Miss Shaw.
Can I do something for you? Yes, you can.
That was very public.
Yes.
I'm all yours, Ben Quimby.
And from now on, you can call me Rita.
Here.
Done.
I added a pocket to cover the guacamole stain.
- Thank you, Carter.
- Mmm-hmm.
And in case you weren't sure, we're now officially even.
Well, what do you think? It's gorgeous.
I can't believe we did it.
And with an hour to spare.
Talk about cutting it down to the wire, huh? Thank you, Eli.
You're a life saver.
Any time.
Well, I better get going.
I got to get all of this stuff over to the theater.
You know, I'm free tonight.
Maybe I could come with you to the show.
Well Okay.
I get it.
Don't be mad, Eli.
We can hang out another time.
I got to tell you something.
Okay.
I kind of slept with someone else.
Kind of or you did? I did.
Uh, who? Does it matter? No.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
It's not like we're boyfriend and girlfriend or anything.
I just I don't know why you felt the need to tell me that.
If things are gonna keep moving forward with us, then I want everything to be out in the open.
I want us to be closer.
So the way you get closer to a girl is by sleeping with somebody else? That's an interesting strategy.
Okay, yes.
I didn't exactly think it through, and I really, really regret it.
But I've got to be honest with you, Jane.
I've been frustrated with you.
So this is my fault? Oh, come on.
You didn't want me at the party, and you obviously don't want me at this play, or meeting your friends.
I feel like I don't know you outside of this office.
It's like you've got a wall up or you're hiding something.
You know what, Eli? You're right.
I am? The truth is I have been keeping things from you.
Tell me, is there anybody out there that knows the real Jane Quimby? There is one person.
Let me guess.
The complicated best friend? Well, sounds like you should be with him.
Hey, Janey! I heard you finished the costumes.
How did you manage that? Oh, well, it doesn't hurt to work at a place where everybody knows how to sew.
Yeah.
What's on your mind? Nothing.
Jane, come on.
Something's up.
I know you.
Better than anyone.
So, let's have it.
Okay, so There is something sort of important that I want to talk to you about.
Um, but I'll wait till you come down.
I've got, like, 100 more leaves to finish gluing here.
So, go ahead.
We can talk now.
Hey, Billy? Will you help me run lines one more time? Yeah, in a sec, Zoe.
What is it, Jane? Break a leg tonight.
Ernie? Let me know when you get the spotlights finished.
Okay.
And when I come out for my bow, can you slip in a soft pink gel? Why are you taking a bow? You're not in the show.
Oh, just do it! That should be me up there.
That's what you keep saying.
You didn't get the lead.
Let it go.
There's nothing you can do about it.
Oh, no? Have you ever seen the movie, Showgirls? Of course.
Some people call it a movie about the dirty underbelly of show business.
I call it a classic instructional video.
What are you going to do? Do you remember the part where the understudy throws the beads and the lead breaks her leg? You're not serious? Maybe.
Maybe not.
- Give me those.
- Let go! Have we met? Once before.
When? - I should go.
- No, wait Nick! What happened? I slipped on something.
Why are there beads? What? What's going on? Nick fell.
I can't stand on it.
Oh You have to.
Because the curtain goes up in two hours.
So, try again.
I can't.
I think it's sprained.
Look, I'm sorry.
But I think I need to see the nurse.
Well, how are we going to do this show without a Prince Charming? Oh, I look like an idiot! Thanks a lot.
No, not the costume, Jane.
The costume is great.
It's just I can't go out there.
I just I can't do it.
Stop worrying.
You have got this.
Not only do you know all of the lines, but you You are the perfect Prince Charming.
If I'm so perfect, then why do you have to keep taking in my pants? So, what was that whole "break a leg" thing about earlier? Oh.
Um I was just wishing everybody luck.
Mmm, come on.
There's something on your mind.
And I think I know what it is.
No, I seriously doubt it.
So, this isn't about me and Zoe? Um, what about you and Zoe? I wasn't completely honest earlier.
I don't know why I didn't just say it before, but after the party, Zoe and I spent the night together.
Yeah, you told me.
She crashed on the couch.
Actually, she didn't.
Things have gotten pretty serious, Jane.
Serious? What is that supposed to mean? Oh.
Yeah, it just happened, and I should've said something before, but Anyways.
I really like her, Janey.
That's good, Billy.
I'm happy for you.
Thanks.
Well, you are all ready, Prince Charming.
Well, I can't believe I'm going to do this.
I hope nothing goes wrong.
Everything that could go wrong already has.
Trust me, tonight is gonna be great.
Nothing can ruin it.
Thanks for coming with me.
I couldn't have suffered through this alone.
Hmm.
I'm sorry, Ana.
I just don't think things are going to work out between us.
Seriously? Just because my foot won't fit in that ugly slipper? What's wrong? Uh Nothing.
I just, um Just noticing the costumes.
Tell me about it.
This play is a bore.
Even for high school.
But those costumes, they're amazing.
I wonder who did them.
Yeah.
I disagree.
You're good-looking, I'm super good-looking, so that means, as a couple, we'd be slightly less good-looking than I am, which is still way above average.
What do you say? Uh Congratulations, Amanda.
You're right.
It is amazing.
I didn't say Yes.
It is Shh! It's magical.
I know.
I feel it, too.
Okay, I'm gonna go watch from the audience.
Oh, Rita.
I'm glad you came.
And congratulations on your victory.
Victory? Ben.
It was a well-fought battle.
I hope there are no hard feelings.
Just a little healthy competition, right? It was never a competition, Amanda.
Nice try.
But you can't ignore me anymore, Jeremy.
What kind of team? At Donovan Decker.
Gray wants me back.
And I want you to come with me.
Think about it, Jeremy.
We can finally take her down together.
Let it go, India.
What? This whole "vendetta against Gray" thing.
I can't let it go.
She discarded me like I never mattered to her.
Do you really think if you didn't matter to Gray, she would ask you to come back? She needs you.
And you.
No.
No, no, no.
I'm done with all that.
Two days ago, I didn't know what I was gonna do with my life.
And then Jane came, and I realized that I still have a lot to offer.
But I have to do it my own way this time.
What does that mean? I'm moving back to New York.
I'm gonna start my own label.
It won't be easy.
I'll be starting from the ground up, but it's exciting.
For the first time in my life, everything I design will have my name on the tag.
I would be honored to join you.
No, India.
It's pretty clear you and I don't work well together when we mix business and pleasure.
What pleasure? You don't even return my phone calls.
I didn't know what to say.
I mean, I didn't even know where we stood.
I just flew halfway around the world to bring you back.
I know, and that means a lot.
It does? Yeah.
It does.
I think that you and I are much more appealing as a romantic duo.
Yeah, me too.
So, when are you coming back? Right away.
There is one person I do want to hire from Donovan Decker.
And let me guess who that is.
You look beautiful.
Thanks.
I owe you an apology.
No, you You don't.
No, I do.
I overreacted with the whole sleepover thing, and I'm sorry.
I realize now that you and Billy are just friends and I have nothing to worry about.
Right.
Good luck out there.
Stunning.
Have we met? Once before.
When? I should go.
Wait.
No.
I know this sounds crazy.
But I've been searching for the girl that lost this slipper.
Would you mind trying it on for me? I'm really sorry but I have to go.
Please.
Come on.
It'll just take a second.
I have to know.
It's you.
It's a perfect fit.
It was you that night at the ball.
Yes.
You're the one.
Are you okay? Yeah.
Bravo! Well? What did you think? You were amazing.
Thanks, Janey.
There's some people here that want to talk to you.
They're, like, raving about your costumes.
Really? Jane?
