South of Nowhere s03e16 Episode Script

Too slow.
Too fast.
Too country.
Too gay.
Ok, we're done.
I'm sorry, Ashley, these songs just aren't working for me.
Then neither am I.
You guys, guys, just chill, it's after 2.
Can you just crash for a while? Everything will be better in the morning.
She wont.
But, just stay.
You can crash here and I'll bunk with Kyla.
You're not trying to turn her, are you? Not tonight.
Don't drool on my sofa.
Hey Kyla's got a guy in there.
A guy? What guy? I think Kyla's the one who's turned him.
Into what? Transcripted, edited and resynced by RiCK So the museum was actually pretty amazing.
And you know? Totally not boring.
I think that I might actually get modern art.
Good, because I still don't.
Whoa, whoa, I do not know if I can date somebody who doesn't get a big blue canvas filled with blue.
Oh, that's too bad, because you're a really good kisser.
Oh my God! - They said "yes"? - Who? "L'Académie Verlaine", is this French art school in Paris.
- After Clay and the baby happened - You turned on the offer, I remember.
I called them after I won the memorial contest And they reopened my file.
That is totally amazing, Chelsea.
What? I mean, oh my God, I can't wait for you to show all those snubby French artists your paintings.
Totally kick off their mustached asses.
If I thought they would consider me this late I never would have Hey.
There's no need to explain anything.
We didn't exactly expect this start.
I wish I could have you in Paris.
Really? I mean I can always come with you.
Where, to Paris? I mean, I live with my parents and I work at Team Sports.
What's really keeping me here? Are you serious? Yeah or Oui.
French? Yeah, you know sort of, took a freshman year to pick up chicks.
How's that working for you? I'm in love with Chelsea and she loves me too.
You know, she's got big dreams for her future and yeah, I haven't figured it all mine now yet but If she's moving to Paris then so am I.
Ok, Glen, hold on a second.
We understand that you love her, ok? But there you go again, making quick decisions without considering the fallout.
Mike Monture at my office is just telling me that the Rec center's looking for a new basketball coach.
That would be a great job for you.
And look honey, we can't financially support you while you run around with Chelsea.
Look, I'll be taking classes.
And I'll get a job, you know? I'll live frugally I'll eat rice and beans in France.
Where will you live? With Chelsea.
And you need a visa.
I'll get one for the first And then I'll re-apply for the next semester.
You have thought this through.
That's Chelsea.
She is the reason I think things through.
I'm going to go and just, let you guys process all this.
I'm gonna get a new passport.
See you later.
He can't do his own laundry but he can plan a transatlantic migration? Hey.
That's not Ashley's camera? Yeah, she let me borrow it.
I do not know what I'm going to do with this.
My senior project is due tomorrow and I don't have a beginning, a middle or an end.
That's good, that's the way most films are.
Just call it art.
When you show it wear black.
They'll think you're genius.
I'm sure some Hollywood slizz will fall all over you and try to gue you - With this fancy party - Courting me? Yep, and you'll leave me for Portia de Rossi and be on E! Hollywood Story Always looking at the dark side.
That's me.
This is so nice, having breakfast together.
It is, isn't it? Wouldn't it be nice to have breakfast together every morning? Oh, God, I forgot, I'm supposed to interview Glen.
Why is it that whenever I bring up the future you always have some way of avoiding the subject? - Well, I'm not avoiding it, it's just that I'm - It's just that you suddenly have to interview Glen out of nowhere? You always tell me that I'm the one who's afraid of commitment.
I feel like you are the one who is actually afraid.
What? Am I your first or am I your forever? Are you staying or are you leaving? Am I just a high school fling or do we actually have a future together? Look, I want to talk about that stuff, I do, it's just that I'm graduating in 2 days and my movie isn't finished Alright, your movie.
I really do want to talk, Ash, is just right now the timing Fine, just go, and interview Glen.
Ok.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What's with the 902 with no wheels? You know, I bought a cheap off this guy who fixes up all gas cars and converts them.
It huh, it runs on vegetable oil.
You know what the best part is? You drive and it smells like French fries.
Are you serious? Yeah, well, I figured you are out here saving the world everyday at least I could do is buy a car that doesn't melt polar ice caps.
What? I know, I know it doesn't quite have the sex appeal of a bike.
No, actually it's a whole lot hotter.
Yeah? And it's got room in the back seat for two.
Look, I just I just got tired of cheating death all the time, you know? I figured it was time for a change.
Hey So I went to an office today that handles study abroad programs and they might be able to hook me up a some sort of job over there.
And, my dad gave me the number of an old college roommate who rents studios by the Left Bank.
And I got us some formaggio.
It smells kind of gnarly but ah Pretty excited about it.
You've got the hat.
Yep.
Well, you know I got the largest size, not that you have a big head or anything, but I figured some day it's probably got to fit up your frown.
It's perfect.
What's wrong? It's dumb.
I always had this vision of moving to Paris and buy myself a bray, you know? No worries, this one can be mine.
You know, I was kind of thinking about buying one anyways.
But I thought that you know, that might be a little bit lame.
Yeah, but The thing is I've had a lot of visions like that.
Well, that's good.
We will do them together.
It's like, you have our whole life's planned out over there and Paris is all I ever dreamed about since I was like 5 and I What are you saying? Paris is a chance for me to be somebody new, to reinvent myself and I just feel like if you're there, then the old me is there.
I like the old you.
Just say it, ok? Don't make me sit here and listen to this.
I don't want you to come.
Ok.
In 3, 2, 1, action.
Do you ever get that, not so fresh feeling? Stop it, Glen.
Come on, you want me to do the hair club for N1? Hey, I do not joke about that.
You know Grandpa George went bald at 20? Come on, just be serious, ok? Why does it even matter? You already got into like 10 colleges.
It's not about college, Glen, it's about the rest of my life, ok? I mean, how am I going to have a future in film-making if I cannot make a 3 minute movie? - 3 minutes? - Yeah.
Dude, many hours of footage do you have on your laptop? I don't know, like 30 hours or something.
Yeah you're so screwed.
Stop.
Ok, let's just start again.
Hey.
Try this.
Needs more salt.
Remember when she was this age? My little ballerina.
She never left the house without a tutu on.
That's right.
Chelsea, what a surprise.
I know, and I know that you guys are mad at me too, not that you'd be mad, mad, because you always said that Paris would be great for me, but I just hope you don't feel like I let Glen on, because I didn't, I promise.
Hey, hey, back up.
Glen didn't tell you guys? Glen, Chelsea is here.
Wait, tell her I'm not here.
He says to say he's not here.
Glen, I thought you agreed at the idiot stage.
Thank you.
Thank you for your support.
Look, it's just that you have this really good thing going with this amazing girl and you're just gonna give it up.
I said I would go to France with her and she turned me down, ok? Or maybe you just need to find your own futures, before you can have one together.
Where did you get that? A bumper sticker? Look, Glen, she has the right to go by herself without you judging her.
It's not that.
She made me fall in love with her.
She reeled me in, and now it feels like she's like she's throwing me back.
How do you do that, Spence? How do you walk away from the person you're in love with? It's Paris, it's the city of lights, it's the best art program in the world.
Wow.
Chels, try this.
And I've never been outside the United States before, so it would be really great for me to get that kind of experience.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
One more time.
A little too much salt.
Sorry.
Back to the drawing board.
They're for the pre-graduation dinner at Ashley's loft.
You will be there, won't you? Yeah, I was supposed to go with Glen, but Chelsea, look, I want you to know no matter what happens, between you and Glen you are always family.
Thanks, I needed to hear that.
Last one.
Glen will come around.
What do you think you're doing? I found the song I want to record.
Yeah, I found it on the CD player.
It's awesome actually.
Find something else.
She is really good, you should hear her.
Yeah well, I wrote that song for Spencer and some things are just sacred.
Your love life doesn't interest me, but the song, does.
No wonder Ethan thinks you're talented.
Oh, please, follow you my gay youth favors from jocks, but it's not gonna work with me.
I'm not going to do it.
Where are you going? If you're not going to give me your best material, I'm just gonna find another song writer who will.
Glen, hold on.
Hey.
Chelsea was here.
What's going on with you two? She's going to Paris without me.
That's what's going on.
Glen.
Dad, I don't want to be late for work.
It's okay.
Oh yeah, I'll just call my boss and tell him my dad says it's was okay for me to be late.
Just take a second, come here.
You know when, your mom and I met we were in high school, and everyone said: "You are too young, you'll have problems" And then you lived happily ever after.
I know the story.
No, not that simple.
Lot of bumps along the road.
You always do when you're young, I mean you're trying to figure yourself up, and top of that, you've got to figure each other out.
Yeah, well how are we supposed to do that when we are living in 2 totally different continents? Glen, you deserve to have a life of your own.
Not to be an accessory of someone else's.
Chelsea deserves the same thing.
Do you really want her to leave on a bad note? Hello? Paula? Spencer, is anybody home? I smell cookies.
They're for the party tomorrow.
You bake? I'm a fountain of untapped talent.
Just what this place needs more talent.
I'm sorry about the song.
I didn't know that it was about Spencer.
No, stop, is totally okay, it's not even your fault.
It's ok.
It was a bad idea to begin with.
Madison and I working together? Come on.
But you should really do your own stuff.
That's the thing though.
I like the idea of writing songs for other people to sing.
Songs for guys, songs for girls.
Plus you get royalties like forever.
And the best part is that you don't have to deal with the paparazzi.
Well, it sounds like you've got it all figured out.
Yeah, that's me.
Hey, what's wrong? Spencer was accepted into Worthington and she didn't even tell me.
That she was going to ditch you, for some fancy school in Boston she had to take queer theory classes and write slam poetry? Whatever.
I mean, I get it.
No, hey! You don't have to play the martyr with me.
- It totally blows.
- Yeah, it does.
You know, we're a lot alike.
We are not thinkers, we are doers and It's just that we are not always trying to do the right thing.
What was that? Oh, come on she's leaving anyway.
You know you want to.
No strings.
Easy.
Apple look a little too bright for me.
Oh my God, Boz! - You looking good! - Me? What happened to you? I got an internship at CB & B.
It that a record label? No, it's an accounting form.
I'm going to be learning from the ground up while I get some credits over the accounting state.
But what happened with DJ Boz? Well, you can think of me as CPA Boz now.
I'm sorry, I just can't believe the new you! Everyone changes, Spencer.
If you stop growing, you die.
Sometimes it's on the oustide, sometimes it's on the inside.
But we are all on the precipice.
You know? Do you mind talking to me for just for a second? Sure.
- Hey, Amy.
- Bye.
Bye! That is Amy.
She's been six months at the Ashram.
- What do you do at the Ashram? - You work, pray and meditate.
Ok, it sounds good to me.
You have to wake up at 4 in the morning.
It could be a deal breaker.
It's like a place that you go to when you feel lost.
Yeah.
I feel pretty lost now.
I mean I thought I knew what my future was.
And Clay probably did too.
Do you think that it would have been better off if he knew that he was going to die young? I don't know.
I don't know.
It just feels like a big blank page.
I don't have a clue, as to what comes next.
It's ok, neither do I.
Well, that's a relief.
But I do know one thing though.
Oh yeah? What's that? You may have not realized yet but one day I'm gonna wake up and be Kyla Dennison.
Excuse me.
I know it's crazy, I know.
We're not even like officially going out or we haven't even sleep together but No, no, no, it's No, it's not that.
What? This is a total déjà vu.
Except when you were telling me this we were in Vegas.
Come on in.
Before you say anything I've been an ass.
But it was only because I've never felt this way about anybody before.
And I thought that maybe I could protect myself by being mad at you.
But then I realized that doesn't matter if you're here or on the moon.
I'm still going to love you.
I just, I needed you to know that before you left.
Wow.
Didn't know you have some very romantic speeches in you.
Yes, it's sort of becoming my new thing.
- Anyways what are you doing? - Nothing that matters.
- Hi! - Hi! I left my phone at home but I have some really I just really wanted to tell you some good news! What? Hello to you too.
I'm sorry.
- For what? - Carmen.
Carmen? Where is she? I'm sure she's doing great down at the halfway house that your dad help set her up with.
She moved? Kinda kicked her out.
Why? She made a pass at me.
I should have known.
God, I guess I can't blame you but Carmen No, nothing happened between us.
I mean, I thought about it.
But it was only because I was mad at you for not telling you're going to go to Worthington.
Wait.
Who said I was going to Worthington? Wait, you're not? I don't know where I'm going at, Ash.
But when I know I'll tell you.
I saw the acceptance letter, I just assumed, that's why Yeah, you assumed.
Why couldn't you just ask me? I just want to know where you're going.
And I didn't do anything with Carmen because of you.
Wow, it's that some huge sacrifice not to hook up with some chick just because of me? No, why are you being so mad? Why are you being so clingy? I'm dealing with a lot right now.
Having to set up this huge party.
And then all of you guys are graduating and going off to college.
Everything is changing so fast I just wanted at least one thing to stay the same.
I don't want us to change.
Yeah, but everyone changes, Ash.
That's what I came here to tell you.
I figured out what my movie is going to be about.
Would you stop talking about the damn movie? I am trying to make a commitment here, and you won't even commit to sticking around.
That's not commitment, it's pressure that I just don't need right now.
You just want to talk about the future that I'm not a part of.
Of course you are part of my future, Ashley! But right now, the present is really freaking me out, and I just need you to be here with me.
Can you do that, please? Hey, don't you think it's kind of funny you and I, hosting a graduation party? I know.
Do you ever regret just dropping out high school and getting your GED? - Do you? - Yeah, a little bit.
It's weird to see everyone getting their cap out and graduating.
- You know, you can always go to college.
- Let's not get crazy.
- Hi! - Hey! Oh my gosh Ashley this is incredible! - Where's Glen? - You know what, I haven't seen him all day! I think Glen's going to be a little bit late, Ashley.
- Hey, got some room for this? - Right up here.
Let me show you guys around.
- Want to see it.
- It's beautiful.
- Hey! - Hey! Look who I found downstairs.
Hi, I hope that it's ok that I came here.
Yeah of course.
Come on in, yeah.
- You look beautiful.
- Thanks! Amazing! Alright, and here we have Ashley's room.
Oh, cool.
Spencer, isn't that your robe? Mom, I think I heard Aiden and Madison.
- Hey! - I meant to dis-invite her.
Oh, come on, do you really have to play little Miss Enemy today? She wants to record Dirty Mind.
So? So I wrote that song for you.
For us.
I do not want to give it to her.
Let her have it.
I have you.
Don't I? - Yes, of course you do.
- It's ok.
- Hey! - Hey! Sorry we're late.
Look who decided to show! Does this mean you're not going to Paris? Oh, no, she's going.
And she said I can come too.
But he said no.
You know, got to let her do the whole France thing on her own.
Plus, I already signed up for classes at CSE, and there are those kids at the Rec center who endure me as the basketball coach.
Wow.
Our little boy isn't so little anymore.
Oh hey Chelsea, you have a little paint on your shoulder.
Oh yeah! Honey, you have some too.
- Are you guys painting? - Something like that.
First meditating and now giggling? What is up with you two? Nothing! Yeah, you guys are like back together or what? - No.
- No, not at all.
Just planning a little trip to Vegas.
You aren't even able to gamble there, what are you going to do? We'll find something.
Here, you can have the song.
- Thank you.
- But I'm retaining publishing.
Deal.
- Thanks.
- Come on.
Ok everyone, it's showtime.
Ok, everyone grab their seat! Well, I've never seen this on a TV so big before, but that's okay, It just probably would be better on like, A cellphone or something.
Anyways, I turned this in yesterday Which is relief because it was sort of like a, graduation requirement and it would suck if you all came today and I wasn't graduating.
But I'm so glad that you are all here because it's about all of us.
You had a weird year.
We all had.
When this year first started, my brother was thinking about joining the army Chelsea was in maternity clothes, Ashley lived with her mother, and Clay was gone.
I had all these possibilities, you know? But I just felt so empty.
And I didn't worked for it you know, so didn't value it.
You started volunteering at a Food Pantry? Yeah, we supply food for people who can't afford their own.
Why do you started doing that? Well you know, people who come into the Food Pantry they are lost, they reached the end of their road.
- Were you lost? - Yeah, I was really lost.
- I was lost.
- Everyone changes.
If you stop growing, you die.
Sometimes on the outside, sometimes it's on the inside.
But we are on the precipice.
I told grandma last night that I was gay and she wasn't really thrilled.
I mean, the fact that my mom has changed so much just because she loves me, you know, we had our hard times, but now we are even closer than ever before.
- Last year - Oh, come on! I wasn't ok.
With my leg and the drugs.
I was really a jerk.
I love you.
Friends become enemies, and people you love you crap on for no apparent reason, and you lose everything you had.
I lost someone who I loved.
Ok.
Ok fine, from on now I promise to forever be supportive.
Thank you! I love you.
You were this cheerleader, popular And you gave it all up to be with Ashley.
Who is kind of scary.
Hey Chels.
I'm serious, what's up with you and Glen? - It's so crazy, but so amazing! - We're not together.
Because every time I'm with you is better than the time before that.
And when I'm not with you, you're all I can think about.
I know I'm not fortunate than most, but I'm not as lucky as I thought I was.
And it still sucks! No! Aiden's stuck around, and that means something.
- Aiden drives me insane! - Why? Because he broke my heart last year, Spencer.
- And it's like dancing! - Shut up! You know I opened on to dance a little, Kyla once tried to Kyla got you to dance? Do you miss being with her? Maybe.
But I'm a hound, right? Overall, I just, I really believe that the power of love can change someone.
- Wow! - Spence, I love you! - Thanks! - Great job! That was so sweet! Spencer, can I just talk to you in private for a minute? Yeah, I wanted to talk to you too.
Ok, let me just say what I have to say, and then you can go.
I wanted to apologize for wigging out on you.
- No, I totally overreacted.
- Just listen what I have to say.
I apologize all the time that I never do it right So, I want to this time.
I wanted to apologize for trying to hold you back when there is a entire world out there who wants to know who you are.
For pressuring you about the future when I'm the one who's scared.
And for your graduation gift being late Just like every other present I've given you - Oh God! - Wait, but I want to give you this.
Spashley? Ok wait, hold on, I know it's really cheesy but do you remember the first time that you realized you were gay? At the beach.
How could I forget that? Well, even though we didn't kissed or do anything, I always kind of considered it that our first date.
Because ever since then I haven't been able to get you out off my mind.
Thank you! I love it! It's to the loft.
I know that you don't know where you're going yet, but I do know that I need you.
And I hope that you need me too.
And whenever you go, wherever there is that you're going, I hope that with the time that you still have here then you'll spend it last minute with me.
You don't have to decide right now, but I'm hoping you'll, consider in moving in with me.
I thought you'd never ask.
Do you mean that? Yes, because I'm not leaving.
- I'm going to UCLA.
- Are you serious? Worthington was just way too expensive, plus UCLA has a better film department.
So, I mean, are you sure you still want to give this to me? Because I may be around for a while.
- Yeah, I'm ok with that.
- Thank you.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Thank you.
Should we tell your parents? Maybe tomorrow.
- To Ashley and Spencer! - Absolutely! Cheers!
