Some Like It Not
1 (male narrator) Previously on "Famous in Love.
.
" That's me asking you out.
I'm sorry.
I, I can't accept this.
I mean, you said it yourself he's a player.
No.
I'm not gonna let him use me.
- Give me another chance? - No.
- Not, like, right now.
- Alan Mills? I'm the new head of Gold Brothers, Nina.
Set PA Adam at your service.
I'll see you around, PA Adam.
We're two adults.
Nothing wrong with what we're doing.
It's a little bit wrong.
Alexis is going to help me and she told me everything.
Why didn't you tell me when she called the first time? - I'm sorry.
- Stick with me.
I can teach you all kinds of things.
Alexis isn't sick.
'She's in Palm Springs with Jake.
' Take your money and get out of here.
'If you ever bother him again' you'll be dealing with me.
That's not mine! - Step out of the car.
- That's not mine.
(male #1) 'You've the right to remain silent.
' - I'm cool with you and Tangey.
- Huh? If there's somethin' there, you should go for it.
I've been working on some new music.
- That's a no, young lady.
- 'And cut!' (Wyatt) 'Uh, that's a cut, guys.
' (Ida) This little dream of yours is over.
(Tangey) No, now we're doing it my way.
You're fired.
I'm so I'm so hot Can't touch me baby I'm so.
.
[sighs.]
[exhales sharply.]
[chuckling.]
Well, this is your idea of working on my script? What? We need to take the occasional break.
- Occasional? - So I like breaks.
Sue me.
Thanks for helping me with my script.
I know at times it seems like I don't know what I'm doing.
Oh, trust me.
You know what you're doing.
You really think it's ready? My agents are gonna love it.
It's been amazing having someone like you, a real actress to work with me on all of it.
I've been called a lot of things before but I think that's the first time someone's ever called me a real actress.
[chuckles.]
Yes to all non-believers You best believe before you die I'm so I'm so hot Hey, whatcha working on? I'm finishing that econ paper.
I thought you missed the deadline.
I did, but it's half my grade so I'm turning it in, anyway.
Well, you might be a little delusional 'cause Professor Hawkins is a stickler for the rules.
I'm gonna work all night at it to get it done before the weekend.
You're working on your birthday? - Uh, Paige, come on - Cassie.
I'll never make it to 22 if I flunk out and my dad kills me.
Okay, well, hurry up because I made reservations for your birthday dinner tomorrow night.
[door opens.]
- Hey.
- Hi.
How was Palm Springs? I saw that you got a lot of work done.
- What's that supposed to mean? - Nothing.
Just, there's a lot of tweets, so.
.
What you were getting accomplished.
Oh, come on, you guys are being childish.
Jake, obviously it went amazing with Alexis.
We're just giving you a hard time.
Have fun, but keep in mind I don't give you grief about Rainer.
- Do I? - Rainer? Why would you? He's my co-star.
I'm not sleeping with him.
And for your sake, I hope you don't.
- Alexis said that - I don't care what Alexis said.
I wouldn't believe a word out of that girl's mouth.
And FYI, she lied and told production she was sick.
Yeah, and of course, all of her tweets were from bed.
Okay, okay, I get it, you two don't like her but she's actually helping me.
Which is more than I can say for you guys.
Jake, hey.
I really am sorry about the phone-call thing.
I would have never done that if I knew it was work-related.
Well, come on.
Tomorrow's my 21st.
Aren't we gonna do margaritas like we always do? Come on, Jake.
Don't mess with tradition.
I really don't wanna fight with you.
Neither do I.
So I'll see you there tomorrow night? Three amigos at Los Amigos.
I'll be there.
[instrumental music.]
[knocking on door.]
Come in.
Hey, I've been lookin' for you.
Where have you been? Around.
Now, this week's been hectic.
That new track I dropped in "Conan" didn't exactly make my mom happy.
Yeah, well, I'm no country fan but you might have just converted me.
'Good for you to stand up to her.
' Oh, I did more than that.
I fired her.
Damn.
Okay, so how does that feel? Pretty good.
I don't, I feel.
.
I feel free.
Like, like, I could do whatever I want.
You know, there's something else I liked about that song.
Oh, yeah? - What's that? - It was about us, wasn't it? I mean, I wrote it on the tour bus leaving Chicago.
[chuckles.]
What are you doin' after you wrap? Nothing.
I got the beach house to myself tonight.
- You wanna drop by? - Beach house? - What about Rainer? - I spoke to Rainer.
He's cool.
Oh, so you two talk it out, take a vote and now we can be together.
No, no, it's not like that.
What kind of say do I get or do I? You two just decide amongst yourselves which one I get to date.
Okay, I get it.
It won't happen again.
I'm sorry.
Okay, then.
So does that mean you'll come out tonight? We'll see.
[knocking on door.]
Come in.
Jordan, Wyatt wants you at camera, buddy.
Cool.
I'll be right there.
- See you.
- I hope so.
Hey.
Oh, how was your scene this morning? Good.
Wyatt seemed happy.
Last night was nice, uh, I was thinking maybe you wanna swing by again tonight? Oh, I-I would, but I have a workout scheduled with my trainer.
You know the scenes I have scheduled next week.
I'm doin, like, half of them with my shirt off.
I need all the time with my trainer I can get.
- I'll rain check them.
- For sure.
[instrumental music.]
- Sorry.
- It's alright.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Stop, stop.
Your timing is really off.
You guys are not in sync with each other at all.
You make it look so easy, Twitch but clearly it's not.
I get it.
I've been dancing since I was five.
I have off days, too.
Just let me show you what it looks like.
You just gotta relax and have fun, okay? [instrumental music.]
[indistinct chattering.]
(Paige) 'I started on the wrong foot.
' Hey.
That's great.
- So just do that? - Just do that, alright? Um, now look, the thing is, just have fun.
I just don't know how we're gonna learn this in three weeks.
Three weeks? Try three days.
- What? - Three days? Oh, let me guess.
You didn't get the new schedule.
Uh, no.
Well, we had to move it up for production.
But w-why? We-we're obviously not ready.
- Get ready.
- Relax, Wyatt, we'll get it.
Yeah, they know the steps, they just.
.
They gotta work on timing.
So they'll be okay.
No, you're losing your rehearsal space.
Construction needs to start building the Copacabana Nightclub set in here.
No problem.
Paige, why don't you come to my house tomorrow night? I have a huge living room.
We can rehearse there.
- Uh, I can't tomorrow - 'She'd love to.
' What? You're gonna tell me you got something better to do? No, you don't because you're gonna practice this night and day until the shoot.
Got it? Got it? Yeah.
Don't worry.
We'll get this.
Hey, I'm surprised at you, Rainer.
You're usually really in sync with your co-stars, man.
When you dance.
Uh, other dance scenes that you had done.
Can we go from the top, please? Pick off from the top.
You ready, dude? Okay.
Thanks, Twitch.
[instrumental music.]
Got somethin' I want Won't quit tryin' till I get there Once you turn me on.
.
You came.
Ain't gonna be all for nothin' Too hot to cool down No stoppin'.
.
You sure Rainer isn't coming home? It's just you and me.
Won't quit comin' for you till I get there Ooh ooh Gimme gimme Ooh ooh Gimme gimme Ooh ooh Gimme gimme Tell me what it is don't keep me waiting Gimme gimme Tell me what it is don't keep me waiting Gimme gimme [camera shutter clicking.]
Tell me what it is don't keep me waiting Gimme [instrumental music.]
Happy birthday! Smiley-faced pancakes are moments away.
- Wow, you look like - Don't say it.
I was up all night finishing my paper.
Finally, I get to turn it in today.
Sweet.
Well, I have cleared my schedule at the Pizza Dome.
And we're gonna rock this birthday.
It's bottomless margaritas and dollar shots at Los Amigos.
- We're gonna get drunk.
- About that.
I.
.
have to cancel.
- What? - Why? The film is making me do dance rehearsal at Rainer's tonight.
Tonight? Really? You have rehearsal on your birthday? - Jake, it's work.
- You just don't get it.
It's Rainer.
He's just tryin' to get in your pants.
- That's all.
- Excuse me? Ten minutes ago you were rolling around with Alexis the blow-up doll in Palm Springs all weekend.
Are you really acting jealous right now? No.
Actually, I'm leaving.
Happy birthday, Paige.
[door opens.]
Oh.
So let me get this straight.
He just spent four days rolling around in the sack with Alexis but I-I am being unreasonable when I actually have to go to work? Yes, absolutely.
We will be there.
Oh, and, uh, thank you, Adriana.
[chuckles.]
- We're in business.
- What do you mean? Newcastle Studios flipped over your script.
Wait, wait.
And who are they? They're the biggest funder of indie projects in Hollywood.
They won Sundance last year with "Monument Valley.
" - I love that film! - Good.
You can tell the president of Newcastle Studios that when you meet him this afternoon.
Am I really gonna sell my script? I think so.
Yeah.
Thanks to you.
[chuckles.]
Okay.
I gotta get back to set.
[door opens.]
This just came via messenger.
They said it was a rush.
And Jordan's here to see you.
Thanks, Eva.
I've been waiting for that.
Um, and send Jordan in.
Hey, I've been calling you all morning.
- What's up? - It's Brandy.
She's in jail.
Did you know that? Actually, I didn't.
But that is the perfect place for her.
'She won't be able to mess with you from behind bars.
' But jail? Really? She's my mom.
What am I supposed to do? Well, for starters, ignore that.
'Look, I know there's a part of you that feels bad for her' but she just extorted money from you.
She's never going to change.
Trust me.
Whatever happened to land your mom in jail it was her own damn fault, not yours.
- I guess you're right.
- Look at it this way.
Now no one will know that your parents aren't really dead.
I mean, think about it.
Who's gonna believe the word of a convict? The story we built about who you are.
.
is finally safe.
[sighs.]
Thanks.
I gotta go.
Uh, hey, how'd your workout go last night? It was good.
I'll be ready for the shirtless scene next week.
Hm.
[laughs.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, back it up.
So you're sleeping with him? Uh, well, I wasn't planning on it but we were, we were out there for four days and he's kinda cute, so.
.
Lex, he's Paige Townsen's roomie.
They're like best friends.
I know.
Hey, I'm gonna get a latte.
- Do you have time? - Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
I don't have to be back at the studio until later to shoot that scene with Rainer.
Um, two lattes, please.
So be honest, are you sleeping with him because you actually like him or because you wanna mess with Paige? Okay, well, maybe it started out that way but then we began working together.
Tange, his script is really good.
I'm even attaching myself as a producer.
Wait, seriously, why are you doing that? Because I really believe in it.
I'm tryin' to get it set up somewhere.
In fact, we have a big meeting this afternoon at Newcastle.
I have Jake rehearsing his vision pitch right now.
- Here you go.
- Hey, I'll get it.
- Thanks.
- That sounds amazing.
- I know you're gonna kill it.
- I hope so, too.
This could be a chance for me to control my own fate for once.
Plus, if I'm the producer they can't give the role to someone else.
I'm sorry, this card's been declined.
You have another one? Uh, no, no, no.
It's a corporate account.
Just try it again, please.
'So tell me more about this script.
' Sorry, no go.
- What? - I got it.
Thanks.
- What the hell? - Is everything okay? No.
Tange, talk to me.
Lex, my accounts are frozen.
I can't access any of my money.
Call us the underdog We're like a dark horse We do it our way As if we had a choice You think you saw something You think you heard a sound Go look around the corner We comin' up now We comin' up now We gonna be on your radar We comin' up on your radar We gonna be on your radar Cut! Yes.
Check it.
New deal, people.
[buzzer buzzing.]
[indistinct chattering.]
(Rainer) You want another take? I don't know.
We-we seemed a little off in that scene.
Oh, I'm sorry.
God, I feel like my mind is a million miles away, but.
.
- Well, I'm good.
Do you.
.
- Okay.
Well, as long as you're good.
Hey, uh, Ray.
Um.
.
[sighs.]
So.
.
you're really cool with Jordan and me? You bet.
- Happy for you.
- Thank you for that.
That really means a lot because, Ray this is not just some random hook-up.
I know Jordan feels the same way.
(Rainer) I know he does.
[instrumental music.]
I'm just saying that you need to show.
'Even if it's late, you can't miss her 21st.
' She was there for yours.
Look, I didn't start this fight.
Actually, you kinda did.
So you need to be the one to end it.
- 'Get over it, Jake!' - So what? I, I'm supposed to sit around all night while he's out in Malibu hitting on her? - Is that it? - 'That's not what's happening.
' Jake, if you don't show up tonight you could seriously damage this friendship.
Um, look, I have to step into this meeting.
Oh, so it's okay if you have to work? They're ready for us.
Come on.
'But if she has to.
.
' Put that away.
Focus, Jake.
We need this.
Remember, they loved the script.
Now we just need to make them love you.
Okay? Hey-hey, D.
What did you do with all my money? - Excuse me? - My bank account is frozen.
My credit cards were all declined.
Come on.
This has your fingerprints all over it.
You have never managed your own finances, Tange.
- I'm looking out for you.
- No, don't do that.
See, I know what you are doing.
'You know I'm effectively broke right now.
' Well, maybe that was something you should have thought of before you charged off on your own.
I take care of a lot of things behind the scenes.
That's what managers do.
We manage things.
Maybe now you'll understand why you need me.
Ah, see, you're doing it again.
- You're controlling me? - I crafted your career.
I made you a star.
And that is something I'm just not gonna let you toss away.
Oh, mama, I'm gonna sue you in court.
And I will tie you up in legal battles for years.
Your career will be over.
So I think it would be best if we keep our professional arrangements just the way they are.
Now, should we get back to work? [indistinct chattering.]
[door opens.]
- Hi.
Professor Hawkins? - 'Yes.
' Uh, I'm Paige Townsen.
I'm in your macro economic theory class.
What can I do for you? It's about my mid-term paper.
That was due a week ago.
I never received it.
Yes, I know it's overdue and that's bad and I'm late but you see, I-I have a perfectly good reason.
I just got cast in this really big movie and I've been trying to figure out a way to, you know balance everything out.
I was hoping maybe you'd take my paper late just, just this once.
- Just this once? - Yes.
I promise.
Ms.
Townsen, do you think because you're working on this film that I can grant you special privileges I don't extend to my other students? I, I see your point, but Then you understand that my answer is no.
Sorry.
- Anything else? - Uh, no.
Um, thank you.
- 'Oh, Ms.
Townsen?' - Yes? You can take that with you.
[instrumental music.]
(Jake) 'So I know you connect to the material.
' You've also heard how I'd approach the film tonally.
And we all know we have the perfect actress to play the lead.
Now, I know I'm not an obvious choice to direct this.
Oh, you intend to direct? Oh, he-he was but he's not gonna stand in the way of getting it made.
But you should take a look at his reel.
Look, I know I'm green.
Okay? I get that.
But what excited me about Newcastle Studios is you take chance on new talent, new voices.
What you really need to know is this is my story.
It's intensely personal.
'But just as Alexis said' I'm not gonna stand in the way of getting this film made.
Just look at my work.
That's all I ask.
We'll deal with the directing thing later, but your script.
.
I want it.
Nice job, kid.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, guys.
[laughing.]
[instrumental music.]
- 'You okay?' - Honestly? No.
Oh.
This has been the worst birthday ever.
Jake hates me Professor Hawkins completely shut me down and I worked all day and night on that paper.
And now I have to spend the rest of my night with Rainer "The Player" Devon.
You should have seen the way he was flirting with this girl today on set.
I'm just so mad.
Jake was right about him.
My whole day is ruined.
We are not gonna let that happen.
There's nothing you can even do about it.
Yeah, there is.
I'm comin' to Rainer's with you.
So you're gonna go bring some fun clothes because I don't care how late you rehearse, we're goin' out.
We'll salvage this birthday even if we have to drink warm beer out of a can a minute before midnight.
You're the best.
Thank you, Mr.
Tanen.
Thank you.
No, no, call me Mike.
I'm always happy when I can discover exciting new talent.
You are impressive.
I have high hopes for "No Place Like you.
" Really.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for a dinner.
[chuckles.]
We sold it in the room.
Do you have any idea how amazing that is? Come on, let's go celebrate.
Um, I'm sorry, I can't.
I have to be somewhere.
But I can't thank you enough, Alexis.
I always fall for the.
.
I'll call you later, okay? Sandcastles and fairytales Yup, there's nothing like rehearsing on your birthday.
- Oh, yeah.
- You're ready? Yeah, let's get this done with.
- Paige.
There you are.
- Hey.
- Let me take that.
- Oh, thank you.
So I got everything set.
I just need to change.
That's right.
- You've never been out here.
- Uh-uh.
Let me give you the grand tour.
This is the living room where we're gonna rehearse.
'Let me get the lights.
' (all) Surprise! [gasps.]
Happy birthday, Paige.
What? You, you were in on this? Since about an hour ago, yeah.
Every master planner needs a great accomplice.
[indistinct chattering.]
Ooh love I mean, that is cold-blooded.
You sure that's your mom? 'Cause right now she sounds like the devil.
Tell me about it.
You know, the thing is I either stay with her or I'm broke.
Do something.
Push back.
That would mean lawyers, the legal fees, years in court.
I don't have the resources.
If I even try and fight back, I'll be left with nothing.
Maybe nothing isn't the worst thing.
What do you mean? When I started out, I was flat broke.
Not a penny.
I built myself up from nothing.
And now I'm stronger for it.
Here's the thing.
You're Tangey Turner.
You're immensely talented, you've got a great future ahead of you.
Do what you do and the riches will come.
Forget the money.
Consider it a small price to pay for your freedom.
It'll be the best dollar you've ever spent.
[jazz music.]
When did this place become so damn popular? Come on.
It'll be fun.
I thought that you said we're gonna keep our thing on the DL you know, at least for now.
What does that matter? Come on, let's go.
I don't want to.
What? Is it me? You don't wanna be seen with me? - No, that's not it.
- Wait.
Is.
.
Is there something you wanna tell me right now? Nothing you need to worry about.
Okay, good.
You know, 'cause I'm done hiding and sneaking around, Jordan.
I am not going down that road again.
- 'It's Tangey Turner.
' - 'Hey, Tangey, here.
' - Wait.
- Right here, right here.
[indistinct chattering.]
Go, man, just go.
[indistinct chattering.]
[door opens.]
[cell phone vibrating.]
- Hey.
- Jake, change of plans.
You need to get out to Rainer Devon's house ASAP.
What are you talking about? Where are you? At Paige's insane surprise party.
You won't believe this place.
It's amazing.
'Oh, and we were so wrong about Rainer.
' 'You should see what he's done for Paige.
' - Are you kidding me? - 'No.
' I-I'm texting you the address right now.
Promise me you'll come.
I-I gotta go.
[pop music.]
- Hi! - Paige! [laughs.]
Did it get you? Were you surprised? I mean, you really got me, guys.
[chuckles.]
I had no idea.
So that means our dance number.
.
Shoots as originally scheduled, in three weeks.
Ooh, thank goodness, we have three weeks 'cause Rainer and I, we could really use the help.
Well, Rainer actually knows the steps forwards and backwards.
I've been working with him for years.
- I can't believe you.
- I'm sorry.
Look, but don't worry, Paige, you'll be fine by the time we shoot.
- Thank you.
- Hey, come on.
There's someone else I want you to meet.
- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday.
Thanks, guys.
This is Maddy, my party planner.
She was instrumental in pulling all this off.
I saw you at the studio yesterday.
- Nice to meet you.
- So nice to meet you, too.
He worked so hard on this I think he ran his assistant, Vince, ragged.
I could tell Rainer wanted everything to be just right.
It is.
Thank you.
[pop music.]
- Can I borrow you for a sec? - Sure, alright.
Uh, I'll be right back.
Ah.
I feel like such an idiot.
I'm sorry.
I was acting so crazy this morning.
I was such a mess.
You're you're amazing.
Come here.
Oh.
[chuckles.]
You gotta admit.
This is a little better than Los Amigos.
[laughs.]
So it was all fake? The rehearsal, the rescheduling, Wyatt yelling at me? Oh, my God.
Jake? Was that fake, too? Is-is he here? No, that was real but I called him and he should be on his way.
[sighs.]
Okay.
Good.
Everybody, let's give it up for our birthday girl, Paige Townsen.
- Yeah.
- 'Whoo!' Let's get this party started! [all cheering.]
[pop music.]
What are you saying then? I wanna try and make things work with Tangey.
- Does she know about us? - No.
I would never tell anyone about us.
Nina, you know how much I care about you.
.
but I just can't keep doing this.
Please.
You've done so much for me over the years I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you.
I'm just.
.
I understand.
Really? All I ever wanted was what was best for you.
You get that, right? You should do what makes you happy, Jordan.
Thank you.
They say the party won't be on until I get up in the place Hey People say my name.
.
- Hey, happy B day, Red.
- Thanks, Adam.
I can't believe he's not gonna show up.
Excusez-moi.
I don't understand.
I mean, I know he's mad at me.
But we've spent every birthday together since freshman year.
Yeah, I really thought he'd show.
[indistinct chattering.]
(Cassie) 'Wow!' [chuckles.]
Rainer went to a lot of trouble to make this birthday really special for you so you owe it to him to forget about Jake tonight and have fun.
It's only fair.
You know what? You're right.
The sparks are gonna fly (Rainer) 'Everyone, gather around.
' Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Paige Happy birthday to you [crowd cheering.]
- Oh! - Oh! [indistinct chattering.]
[instrumental music.]
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh.
.
(Ida) 'Out clubbing again? You're late.
' No, I'm not.
I'm done.
We have had this discussion and we are not having it again.
Okay, Jordan hooked me up with his lawyer.
- 'I'm gonna fight you.
' - Jordan? - Yeah.
- Oh, please! You fight me and your career is ruined.
That's a promise.
[laughs.]
I don't care! I don't care.
I'm gonna start over and I'm gonna come back better and stronger.
I'm gonna make ten times more money than I did under your thumb.
Do you really think so? I know so.
Fine.
You'll be hearing from my lawyers very soon.
[laughs.]
I'm sure I will, but for now.
.
you can start by getting the hell out of my recording studio.
[chuckles.]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
.
Huh.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh I'm so glad you decided to celebrate our little victory after all.
To the future.
.
to the script and to you.
Cheers.
[instrumental music.]
I got your message.
(Nina) 'Thank you for meeting me here so late.
' You could have just told me what you wanted on the phone.
I thought it would be best if we met in person privately, without our children around.
[door beeps.]
Well, I think you'll have to agree that our interests are really mutually aligned here.
You want control of your daughter back.
And what is it that you want, Nina? Well, I want my son to be happy.
Tangey cheated on Rainer with Jordan his best friend.
If Rainer doesn't have to be reminded of that every day it would be better for all of us.
I agree, but I don't know what it is you think you'll say to my headstrong daughter to change her mind.
Tangey's in love with that boy.
How do you think she'd feel if she found out Jordan had been lying to her all these years? Jordan's mother's still alive.
In fact, she's in prison and she's got quite a rap sheet.
Oh, do tell.
[pop music.]
Yeah, oh yeah Now it's time It's about to go about to give About to go down I say yeah.
.
So this hotel is my new home.
I can't let you do this.
I want to.
J, it's too much, it's.
.
You'd do the same for me if the shoe was on the other foot.
You might be starting over, but you're not doing it alone.
Okay.
Oh yeah Oh yeah.
.
As long as you let me pay you back.
Sure, whatever.
Count it down (Eva) 'Nina, it's your mother calling again.
' - Mother.
- So did you tell him yet? (Nina on phone) 'We have run over this a thousand times.
No.
' You promised me that you'd tell him when he turned 18.
'And then when he turned 18, you said' 'you'd do it when he was 21.
' Nina, he turns 23 next month.
Rainer is in the middle of the biggest film of his life.
He does not need the complication right now.
You'll regret keeping this from him.
'He deserves to know who his father is.
' - I was going to tell him.
- So what's stopping you then? His father just became head of the studio.
Why do you think I'm calling you? I read "Deadline.
" Mark my words.
If you don't tell Rainer that Alan is his father he's going to hear it from someone else and that you can't take back.
Goodbye, mother.
[sighs.]
[door shuts.]
Nice walk of shame.
How was the party? It was off the chain, actually.
Kid Cudi was there.
He did karaoke.
We missed you, by the way.
- Is Paige home? - That would be a negative.
[door opens.]
Ah.
That was fun, Cass.
- I'll hit you up tomorrow.
- Cool.
- 'Ssup? - 'Ssup? Hey Your mama said it wouldn't come easy Your mama said for you to come home I'll never let you.
.
Like I said, the party was pretty lit.
And shakin' your hip You better shake shake on Shake shake shake shake on Sh-sh-shake shake shake on You better shake shake shake on You better shake shake shake on So you better shake shake shake shake shake on Wow.
Hi.
I.
.
- How'd you sleep? - Well, great.
Um.
.
Thank you for giving me the bed.
- How was the couch? - Lumpy and uncomfortable.
But it made me wake up early and I got some fun waves.
So I got that going for me.
Uh, I'm sorry if you thought.
.
I'd just.
I hope you weren't expecting - Not at all.
- Yeah.
I know that's not usually how you roll.
What do we say? A fresh start, right? Yeah.
Fresh start.
Look, I know I have this history and I know this world is kinda crazy and really different from the one you're used to but what you have to understand is for me that different is good.
So forget about my history 'cause when I'm with you.
.
I wanna change.
Really? Really.
So what's for breakfast? Um, well unless you have a recipe for baking soda and Dom Perignon, nothing.
Guess we're going out then.
[door buzzing.]
Who the hell are you? I think you have a story to tell.
And I'm the one who's gonna help you tell it.
[theme music.]
.
" That's me asking you out.
I'm sorry.
I, I can't accept this.
I mean, you said it yourself he's a player.
No.
I'm not gonna let him use me.
- Give me another chance? - No.
- Not, like, right now.
- Alan Mills? I'm the new head of Gold Brothers, Nina.
Set PA Adam at your service.
I'll see you around, PA Adam.
We're two adults.
Nothing wrong with what we're doing.
It's a little bit wrong.
Alexis is going to help me and she told me everything.
Why didn't you tell me when she called the first time? - I'm sorry.
- Stick with me.
I can teach you all kinds of things.
Alexis isn't sick.
'She's in Palm Springs with Jake.
' Take your money and get out of here.
'If you ever bother him again' you'll be dealing with me.
That's not mine! - Step out of the car.
- That's not mine.
(male #1) 'You've the right to remain silent.
' - I'm cool with you and Tangey.
- Huh? If there's somethin' there, you should go for it.
I've been working on some new music.
- That's a no, young lady.
- 'And cut!' (Wyatt) 'Uh, that's a cut, guys.
' (Ida) This little dream of yours is over.
(Tangey) No, now we're doing it my way.
You're fired.
I'm so I'm so hot Can't touch me baby I'm so.
.
[sighs.]
[exhales sharply.]
[chuckling.]
Well, this is your idea of working on my script? What? We need to take the occasional break.
- Occasional? - So I like breaks.
Sue me.
Thanks for helping me with my script.
I know at times it seems like I don't know what I'm doing.
Oh, trust me.
You know what you're doing.
You really think it's ready? My agents are gonna love it.
It's been amazing having someone like you, a real actress to work with me on all of it.
I've been called a lot of things before but I think that's the first time someone's ever called me a real actress.
[chuckles.]
Yes to all non-believers You best believe before you die I'm so I'm so hot Hey, whatcha working on? I'm finishing that econ paper.
I thought you missed the deadline.
I did, but it's half my grade so I'm turning it in, anyway.
Well, you might be a little delusional 'cause Professor Hawkins is a stickler for the rules.
I'm gonna work all night at it to get it done before the weekend.
You're working on your birthday? - Uh, Paige, come on - Cassie.
I'll never make it to 22 if I flunk out and my dad kills me.
Okay, well, hurry up because I made reservations for your birthday dinner tomorrow night.
[door opens.]
- Hey.
- Hi.
How was Palm Springs? I saw that you got a lot of work done.
- What's that supposed to mean? - Nothing.
Just, there's a lot of tweets, so.
.
What you were getting accomplished.
Oh, come on, you guys are being childish.
Jake, obviously it went amazing with Alexis.
We're just giving you a hard time.
Have fun, but keep in mind I don't give you grief about Rainer.
- Do I? - Rainer? Why would you? He's my co-star.
I'm not sleeping with him.
And for your sake, I hope you don't.
- Alexis said that - I don't care what Alexis said.
I wouldn't believe a word out of that girl's mouth.
And FYI, she lied and told production she was sick.
Yeah, and of course, all of her tweets were from bed.
Okay, okay, I get it, you two don't like her but she's actually helping me.
Which is more than I can say for you guys.
Jake, hey.
I really am sorry about the phone-call thing.
I would have never done that if I knew it was work-related.
Well, come on.
Tomorrow's my 21st.
Aren't we gonna do margaritas like we always do? Come on, Jake.
Don't mess with tradition.
I really don't wanna fight with you.
Neither do I.
So I'll see you there tomorrow night? Three amigos at Los Amigos.
I'll be there.
[instrumental music.]
[knocking on door.]
Come in.
Hey, I've been lookin' for you.
Where have you been? Around.
Now, this week's been hectic.
That new track I dropped in "Conan" didn't exactly make my mom happy.
Yeah, well, I'm no country fan but you might have just converted me.
'Good for you to stand up to her.
' Oh, I did more than that.
I fired her.
Damn.
Okay, so how does that feel? Pretty good.
I don't, I feel.
.
I feel free.
Like, like, I could do whatever I want.
You know, there's something else I liked about that song.
Oh, yeah? - What's that? - It was about us, wasn't it? I mean, I wrote it on the tour bus leaving Chicago.
[chuckles.]
What are you doin' after you wrap? Nothing.
I got the beach house to myself tonight.
- You wanna drop by? - Beach house? - What about Rainer? - I spoke to Rainer.
He's cool.
Oh, so you two talk it out, take a vote and now we can be together.
No, no, it's not like that.
What kind of say do I get or do I? You two just decide amongst yourselves which one I get to date.
Okay, I get it.
It won't happen again.
I'm sorry.
Okay, then.
So does that mean you'll come out tonight? We'll see.
[knocking on door.]
Come in.
Jordan, Wyatt wants you at camera, buddy.
Cool.
I'll be right there.
- See you.
- I hope so.
Hey.
Oh, how was your scene this morning? Good.
Wyatt seemed happy.
Last night was nice, uh, I was thinking maybe you wanna swing by again tonight? Oh, I-I would, but I have a workout scheduled with my trainer.
You know the scenes I have scheduled next week.
I'm doin, like, half of them with my shirt off.
I need all the time with my trainer I can get.
- I'll rain check them.
- For sure.
[instrumental music.]
- Sorry.
- It's alright.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Stop, stop.
Your timing is really off.
You guys are not in sync with each other at all.
You make it look so easy, Twitch but clearly it's not.
I get it.
I've been dancing since I was five.
I have off days, too.
Just let me show you what it looks like.
You just gotta relax and have fun, okay? [instrumental music.]
[indistinct chattering.]
(Paige) 'I started on the wrong foot.
' Hey.
That's great.
- So just do that? - Just do that, alright? Um, now look, the thing is, just have fun.
I just don't know how we're gonna learn this in three weeks.
Three weeks? Try three days.
- What? - Three days? Oh, let me guess.
You didn't get the new schedule.
Uh, no.
Well, we had to move it up for production.
But w-why? We-we're obviously not ready.
- Get ready.
- Relax, Wyatt, we'll get it.
Yeah, they know the steps, they just.
.
They gotta work on timing.
So they'll be okay.
No, you're losing your rehearsal space.
Construction needs to start building the Copacabana Nightclub set in here.
No problem.
Paige, why don't you come to my house tomorrow night? I have a huge living room.
We can rehearse there.
- Uh, I can't tomorrow - 'She'd love to.
' What? You're gonna tell me you got something better to do? No, you don't because you're gonna practice this night and day until the shoot.
Got it? Got it? Yeah.
Don't worry.
We'll get this.
Hey, I'm surprised at you, Rainer.
You're usually really in sync with your co-stars, man.
When you dance.
Uh, other dance scenes that you had done.
Can we go from the top, please? Pick off from the top.
You ready, dude? Okay.
Thanks, Twitch.
[instrumental music.]
Got somethin' I want Won't quit tryin' till I get there Once you turn me on.
.
You came.
Ain't gonna be all for nothin' Too hot to cool down No stoppin'.
.
You sure Rainer isn't coming home? It's just you and me.
Won't quit comin' for you till I get there Ooh ooh Gimme gimme Ooh ooh Gimme gimme Ooh ooh Gimme gimme Tell me what it is don't keep me waiting Gimme gimme Tell me what it is don't keep me waiting Gimme gimme [camera shutter clicking.]
Tell me what it is don't keep me waiting Gimme [instrumental music.]
Happy birthday! Smiley-faced pancakes are moments away.
- Wow, you look like - Don't say it.
I was up all night finishing my paper.
Finally, I get to turn it in today.
Sweet.
Well, I have cleared my schedule at the Pizza Dome.
And we're gonna rock this birthday.
It's bottomless margaritas and dollar shots at Los Amigos.
- We're gonna get drunk.
- About that.
I.
.
have to cancel.
- What? - Why? The film is making me do dance rehearsal at Rainer's tonight.
Tonight? Really? You have rehearsal on your birthday? - Jake, it's work.
- You just don't get it.
It's Rainer.
He's just tryin' to get in your pants.
- That's all.
- Excuse me? Ten minutes ago you were rolling around with Alexis the blow-up doll in Palm Springs all weekend.
Are you really acting jealous right now? No.
Actually, I'm leaving.
Happy birthday, Paige.
[door opens.]
Oh.
So let me get this straight.
He just spent four days rolling around in the sack with Alexis but I-I am being unreasonable when I actually have to go to work? Yes, absolutely.
We will be there.
Oh, and, uh, thank you, Adriana.
[chuckles.]
- We're in business.
- What do you mean? Newcastle Studios flipped over your script.
Wait, wait.
And who are they? They're the biggest funder of indie projects in Hollywood.
They won Sundance last year with "Monument Valley.
" - I love that film! - Good.
You can tell the president of Newcastle Studios that when you meet him this afternoon.
Am I really gonna sell my script? I think so.
Yeah.
Thanks to you.
[chuckles.]
Okay.
I gotta get back to set.
[door opens.]
This just came via messenger.
They said it was a rush.
And Jordan's here to see you.
Thanks, Eva.
I've been waiting for that.
Um, and send Jordan in.
Hey, I've been calling you all morning.
- What's up? - It's Brandy.
She's in jail.
Did you know that? Actually, I didn't.
But that is the perfect place for her.
'She won't be able to mess with you from behind bars.
' But jail? Really? She's my mom.
What am I supposed to do? Well, for starters, ignore that.
'Look, I know there's a part of you that feels bad for her' but she just extorted money from you.
She's never going to change.
Trust me.
Whatever happened to land your mom in jail it was her own damn fault, not yours.
- I guess you're right.
- Look at it this way.
Now no one will know that your parents aren't really dead.
I mean, think about it.
Who's gonna believe the word of a convict? The story we built about who you are.
.
is finally safe.
[sighs.]
Thanks.
I gotta go.
Uh, hey, how'd your workout go last night? It was good.
I'll be ready for the shirtless scene next week.
Hm.
[laughs.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, back it up.
So you're sleeping with him? Uh, well, I wasn't planning on it but we were, we were out there for four days and he's kinda cute, so.
.
Lex, he's Paige Townsen's roomie.
They're like best friends.
I know.
Hey, I'm gonna get a latte.
- Do you have time? - Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
I don't have to be back at the studio until later to shoot that scene with Rainer.
Um, two lattes, please.
So be honest, are you sleeping with him because you actually like him or because you wanna mess with Paige? Okay, well, maybe it started out that way but then we began working together.
Tange, his script is really good.
I'm even attaching myself as a producer.
Wait, seriously, why are you doing that? Because I really believe in it.
I'm tryin' to get it set up somewhere.
In fact, we have a big meeting this afternoon at Newcastle.
I have Jake rehearsing his vision pitch right now.
- Here you go.
- Hey, I'll get it.
- Thanks.
- That sounds amazing.
- I know you're gonna kill it.
- I hope so, too.
This could be a chance for me to control my own fate for once.
Plus, if I'm the producer they can't give the role to someone else.
I'm sorry, this card's been declined.
You have another one? Uh, no, no, no.
It's a corporate account.
Just try it again, please.
'So tell me more about this script.
' Sorry, no go.
- What? - I got it.
Thanks.
- What the hell? - Is everything okay? No.
Tange, talk to me.
Lex, my accounts are frozen.
I can't access any of my money.
Call us the underdog We're like a dark horse We do it our way As if we had a choice You think you saw something You think you heard a sound Go look around the corner We comin' up now We comin' up now We gonna be on your radar We comin' up on your radar We gonna be on your radar Cut! Yes.
Check it.
New deal, people.
[buzzer buzzing.]
[indistinct chattering.]
(Rainer) You want another take? I don't know.
We-we seemed a little off in that scene.
Oh, I'm sorry.
God, I feel like my mind is a million miles away, but.
.
- Well, I'm good.
Do you.
.
- Okay.
Well, as long as you're good.
Hey, uh, Ray.
Um.
.
[sighs.]
So.
.
you're really cool with Jordan and me? You bet.
- Happy for you.
- Thank you for that.
That really means a lot because, Ray this is not just some random hook-up.
I know Jordan feels the same way.
(Rainer) I know he does.
[instrumental music.]
I'm just saying that you need to show.
'Even if it's late, you can't miss her 21st.
' She was there for yours.
Look, I didn't start this fight.
Actually, you kinda did.
So you need to be the one to end it.
- 'Get over it, Jake!' - So what? I, I'm supposed to sit around all night while he's out in Malibu hitting on her? - Is that it? - 'That's not what's happening.
' Jake, if you don't show up tonight you could seriously damage this friendship.
Um, look, I have to step into this meeting.
Oh, so it's okay if you have to work? They're ready for us.
Come on.
'But if she has to.
.
' Put that away.
Focus, Jake.
We need this.
Remember, they loved the script.
Now we just need to make them love you.
Okay? Hey-hey, D.
What did you do with all my money? - Excuse me? - My bank account is frozen.
My credit cards were all declined.
Come on.
This has your fingerprints all over it.
You have never managed your own finances, Tange.
- I'm looking out for you.
- No, don't do that.
See, I know what you are doing.
'You know I'm effectively broke right now.
' Well, maybe that was something you should have thought of before you charged off on your own.
I take care of a lot of things behind the scenes.
That's what managers do.
We manage things.
Maybe now you'll understand why you need me.
Ah, see, you're doing it again.
- You're controlling me? - I crafted your career.
I made you a star.
And that is something I'm just not gonna let you toss away.
Oh, mama, I'm gonna sue you in court.
And I will tie you up in legal battles for years.
Your career will be over.
So I think it would be best if we keep our professional arrangements just the way they are.
Now, should we get back to work? [indistinct chattering.]
[door opens.]
- Hi.
Professor Hawkins? - 'Yes.
' Uh, I'm Paige Townsen.
I'm in your macro economic theory class.
What can I do for you? It's about my mid-term paper.
That was due a week ago.
I never received it.
Yes, I know it's overdue and that's bad and I'm late but you see, I-I have a perfectly good reason.
I just got cast in this really big movie and I've been trying to figure out a way to, you know balance everything out.
I was hoping maybe you'd take my paper late just, just this once.
- Just this once? - Yes.
I promise.
Ms.
Townsen, do you think because you're working on this film that I can grant you special privileges I don't extend to my other students? I, I see your point, but Then you understand that my answer is no.
Sorry.
- Anything else? - Uh, no.
Um, thank you.
- 'Oh, Ms.
Townsen?' - Yes? You can take that with you.
[instrumental music.]
(Jake) 'So I know you connect to the material.
' You've also heard how I'd approach the film tonally.
And we all know we have the perfect actress to play the lead.
Now, I know I'm not an obvious choice to direct this.
Oh, you intend to direct? Oh, he-he was but he's not gonna stand in the way of getting it made.
But you should take a look at his reel.
Look, I know I'm green.
Okay? I get that.
But what excited me about Newcastle Studios is you take chance on new talent, new voices.
What you really need to know is this is my story.
It's intensely personal.
'But just as Alexis said' I'm not gonna stand in the way of getting this film made.
Just look at my work.
That's all I ask.
We'll deal with the directing thing later, but your script.
.
I want it.
Nice job, kid.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, guys.
[laughing.]
[instrumental music.]
- 'You okay?' - Honestly? No.
Oh.
This has been the worst birthday ever.
Jake hates me Professor Hawkins completely shut me down and I worked all day and night on that paper.
And now I have to spend the rest of my night with Rainer "The Player" Devon.
You should have seen the way he was flirting with this girl today on set.
I'm just so mad.
Jake was right about him.
My whole day is ruined.
We are not gonna let that happen.
There's nothing you can even do about it.
Yeah, there is.
I'm comin' to Rainer's with you.
So you're gonna go bring some fun clothes because I don't care how late you rehearse, we're goin' out.
We'll salvage this birthday even if we have to drink warm beer out of a can a minute before midnight.
You're the best.
Thank you, Mr.
Tanen.
Thank you.
No, no, call me Mike.
I'm always happy when I can discover exciting new talent.
You are impressive.
I have high hopes for "No Place Like you.
" Really.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for a dinner.
[chuckles.]
We sold it in the room.
Do you have any idea how amazing that is? Come on, let's go celebrate.
Um, I'm sorry, I can't.
I have to be somewhere.
But I can't thank you enough, Alexis.
I always fall for the.
.
I'll call you later, okay? Sandcastles and fairytales Yup, there's nothing like rehearsing on your birthday.
- Oh, yeah.
- You're ready? Yeah, let's get this done with.
- Paige.
There you are.
- Hey.
- Let me take that.
- Oh, thank you.
So I got everything set.
I just need to change.
That's right.
- You've never been out here.
- Uh-uh.
Let me give you the grand tour.
This is the living room where we're gonna rehearse.
'Let me get the lights.
' (all) Surprise! [gasps.]
Happy birthday, Paige.
What? You, you were in on this? Since about an hour ago, yeah.
Every master planner needs a great accomplice.
[indistinct chattering.]
Ooh love I mean, that is cold-blooded.
You sure that's your mom? 'Cause right now she sounds like the devil.
Tell me about it.
You know, the thing is I either stay with her or I'm broke.
Do something.
Push back.
That would mean lawyers, the legal fees, years in court.
I don't have the resources.
If I even try and fight back, I'll be left with nothing.
Maybe nothing isn't the worst thing.
What do you mean? When I started out, I was flat broke.
Not a penny.
I built myself up from nothing.
And now I'm stronger for it.
Here's the thing.
You're Tangey Turner.
You're immensely talented, you've got a great future ahead of you.
Do what you do and the riches will come.
Forget the money.
Consider it a small price to pay for your freedom.
It'll be the best dollar you've ever spent.
[jazz music.]
When did this place become so damn popular? Come on.
It'll be fun.
I thought that you said we're gonna keep our thing on the DL you know, at least for now.
What does that matter? Come on, let's go.
I don't want to.
What? Is it me? You don't wanna be seen with me? - No, that's not it.
- Wait.
Is.
.
Is there something you wanna tell me right now? Nothing you need to worry about.
Okay, good.
You know, 'cause I'm done hiding and sneaking around, Jordan.
I am not going down that road again.
- 'It's Tangey Turner.
' - 'Hey, Tangey, here.
' - Wait.
- Right here, right here.
[indistinct chattering.]
Go, man, just go.
[indistinct chattering.]
[door opens.]
[cell phone vibrating.]
- Hey.
- Jake, change of plans.
You need to get out to Rainer Devon's house ASAP.
What are you talking about? Where are you? At Paige's insane surprise party.
You won't believe this place.
It's amazing.
'Oh, and we were so wrong about Rainer.
' 'You should see what he's done for Paige.
' - Are you kidding me? - 'No.
' I-I'm texting you the address right now.
Promise me you'll come.
I-I gotta go.
[pop music.]
- Hi! - Paige! [laughs.]
Did it get you? Were you surprised? I mean, you really got me, guys.
[chuckles.]
I had no idea.
So that means our dance number.
.
Shoots as originally scheduled, in three weeks.
Ooh, thank goodness, we have three weeks 'cause Rainer and I, we could really use the help.
Well, Rainer actually knows the steps forwards and backwards.
I've been working with him for years.
- I can't believe you.
- I'm sorry.
Look, but don't worry, Paige, you'll be fine by the time we shoot.
- Thank you.
- Hey, come on.
There's someone else I want you to meet.
- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday.
Thanks, guys.
This is Maddy, my party planner.
She was instrumental in pulling all this off.
I saw you at the studio yesterday.
- Nice to meet you.
- So nice to meet you, too.
He worked so hard on this I think he ran his assistant, Vince, ragged.
I could tell Rainer wanted everything to be just right.
It is.
Thank you.
[pop music.]
- Can I borrow you for a sec? - Sure, alright.
Uh, I'll be right back.
Ah.
I feel like such an idiot.
I'm sorry.
I was acting so crazy this morning.
I was such a mess.
You're you're amazing.
Come here.
Oh.
[chuckles.]
You gotta admit.
This is a little better than Los Amigos.
[laughs.]
So it was all fake? The rehearsal, the rescheduling, Wyatt yelling at me? Oh, my God.
Jake? Was that fake, too? Is-is he here? No, that was real but I called him and he should be on his way.
[sighs.]
Okay.
Good.
Everybody, let's give it up for our birthday girl, Paige Townsen.
- Yeah.
- 'Whoo!' Let's get this party started! [all cheering.]
[pop music.]
What are you saying then? I wanna try and make things work with Tangey.
- Does she know about us? - No.
I would never tell anyone about us.
Nina, you know how much I care about you.
.
but I just can't keep doing this.
Please.
You've done so much for me over the years I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you.
I'm just.
.
I understand.
Really? All I ever wanted was what was best for you.
You get that, right? You should do what makes you happy, Jordan.
Thank you.
They say the party won't be on until I get up in the place Hey People say my name.
.
- Hey, happy B day, Red.
- Thanks, Adam.
I can't believe he's not gonna show up.
Excusez-moi.
I don't understand.
I mean, I know he's mad at me.
But we've spent every birthday together since freshman year.
Yeah, I really thought he'd show.
[indistinct chattering.]
(Cassie) 'Wow!' [chuckles.]
Rainer went to a lot of trouble to make this birthday really special for you so you owe it to him to forget about Jake tonight and have fun.
It's only fair.
You know what? You're right.
The sparks are gonna fly (Rainer) 'Everyone, gather around.
' Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Paige Happy birthday to you [crowd cheering.]
- Oh! - Oh! [indistinct chattering.]
[instrumental music.]
Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh.
.
(Ida) 'Out clubbing again? You're late.
' No, I'm not.
I'm done.
We have had this discussion and we are not having it again.
Okay, Jordan hooked me up with his lawyer.
- 'I'm gonna fight you.
' - Jordan? - Yeah.
- Oh, please! You fight me and your career is ruined.
That's a promise.
[laughs.]
I don't care! I don't care.
I'm gonna start over and I'm gonna come back better and stronger.
I'm gonna make ten times more money than I did under your thumb.
Do you really think so? I know so.
Fine.
You'll be hearing from my lawyers very soon.
[laughs.]
I'm sure I will, but for now.
.
you can start by getting the hell out of my recording studio.
[chuckles.]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
.
Huh.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh I'm so glad you decided to celebrate our little victory after all.
To the future.
.

Cheers.
[instrumental music.]
I got your message.
(Nina) 'Thank you for meeting me here so late.
' You could have just told me what you wanted on the phone.
I thought it would be best if we met in person privately, without our children around.
[door beeps.]
Well, I think you'll have to agree that our interests are really mutually aligned here.
You want control of your daughter back.
And what is it that you want, Nina? Well, I want my son to be happy.
Tangey cheated on Rainer with Jordan his best friend.
If Rainer doesn't have to be reminded of that every day it would be better for all of us.
I agree, but I don't know what it is you think you'll say to my headstrong daughter to change her mind.
Tangey's in love with that boy.
How do you think she'd feel if she found out Jordan had been lying to her all these years? Jordan's mother's still alive.
In fact, she's in prison and she's got quite a rap sheet.
Oh, do tell.
[pop music.]
Yeah, oh yeah Now it's time It's about to go about to give About to go down I say yeah.
.
So this hotel is my new home.
I can't let you do this.
I want to.
J, it's too much, it's.
.
You'd do the same for me if the shoe was on the other foot.
You might be starting over, but you're not doing it alone.
Okay.
Oh yeah Oh yeah.
.
As long as you let me pay you back.
Sure, whatever.
Count it down (Eva) 'Nina, it's your mother calling again.
' - Mother.
- So did you tell him yet? (Nina on phone) 'We have run over this a thousand times.
No.
' You promised me that you'd tell him when he turned 18.
'And then when he turned 18, you said' 'you'd do it when he was 21.
' Nina, he turns 23 next month.
Rainer is in the middle of the biggest film of his life.
He does not need the complication right now.
You'll regret keeping this from him.
'He deserves to know who his father is.
' - I was going to tell him.
- So what's stopping you then? His father just became head of the studio.
Why do you think I'm calling you? I read "Deadline.
" Mark my words.
If you don't tell Rainer that Alan is his father he's going to hear it from someone else and that you can't take back.
Goodbye, mother.
[sighs.]
[door shuts.]
Nice walk of shame.
How was the party? It was off the chain, actually.
Kid Cudi was there.
He did karaoke.
We missed you, by the way.
- Is Paige home? - That would be a negative.
[door opens.]
Ah.
That was fun, Cass.
- I'll hit you up tomorrow.
- Cool.
- 'Ssup? - 'Ssup? Hey Your mama said it wouldn't come easy Your mama said for you to come home I'll never let you.

Thank you for giving me the bed.
- How was the couch? - Lumpy and uncomfortable.
But it made me wake up early and I got some fun waves.
So I got that going for me.
Uh, I'm sorry if you thought.
.
I'd just.
I hope you weren't expecting - Not at all.
- Yeah.
I know that's not usually how you roll.
What do we say? A fresh start, right? Yeah.
Fresh start.
Look, I know I have this history and I know this world is kinda crazy and really different from the one you're used to but what you have to understand is for me that different is good.
So forget about my history 'cause when I'm with you.
.
I wanna change.
Really? Really.
So what's for breakfast? Um, well unless you have a recipe for baking soda and Dom Perignon, nothing.
Guess we're going out then.
[door buzzing.]

And I'm the one who's gonna help you tell it.
