Previously on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series...
-Things got, what's the word? Spooky. -(RICKY YELLING)
ALL: (SINGING) Nowhere left to run
Feel the shadows closing in on me
There were certainly some tricks...
CARLOS: Maddox!
-(ALL GASPING) -Boo!
...and some chilling scares.
Gina and I haven't declared what we are yet.
Some kinda Halloween prank?
What's not a prank... I am Gabriella.
But you can always count on a couple of good treats.
-(WINDOW CLATTERS) -(GASPS)
We're a couple.
What?
But the thing about Halloween is that you never know what you've got
until you unwrap it at the end of the night.
Unless it's batteries. Then you can pretty much tell.
Excuse me.
FEMALE STUDENT 1: No, sorry.
-Excuse me. -FEMALE STUDENT 2: No.
I'm looking for Samuel Hall.
Okay.
-Do you know... -FEMALE STUDENT 3: Sorry, I'm in a hurry.
Anyone? Sam Hall? Hello?
Okay, I'll find it myself.
EJ: Richard Bowen.
Elton John.
Welcome to College.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
Yeah, I don't think it'll be a long day.
Just one scene and then I already did my chem homework.
Okay. Yeah, I love you, too, Mommy. Bye, bye.
Principal Gutierrez, I don't know what you've heard,
but the musical is going swimmingly!
In fact, we have an Act One run-through tonight.
Oh, excellent. Then you won't mind me dropping in for rehearsals tonight?
To see you all in action. Make sure you have a quorum of sorts.
Of course. And by quorum, you mean...
At least eight students.
We would welcome your attendance.
Great. And Miss Jenn, please be advised
that if the turnout isn't sufficient tonight,
I will be forced to cancel the musical altogether.
And thus end this rather surreal ride that you and I have been on.
Good day.
(FEMALE STUDENTS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
I can tell you're glowing.
It's the humidity.
But remind me again why we flew all the way to Atlanta
to come to this school? I mean, it's not even on my list.
That's exactly the idea, Kourt.
Listen, I know that you're all set on attending an Ivy.
My hero went to Princeton.
And it means a lot that you wanna follow in my footsteps,
but these steps are yours now, not mine.
And there's so many special spaces outside of the Ivy leagues.
-Look. -Hi.
You must be Kourtney with a K. I'm Harper Nolan.
I'm gonna be your campus pilot.
-(MICHELLE CHUCKLES) -Ah. Okay.
Harper's mom and I go way back, and she's agreed to walk you around.
Thank you so much, Harper. Excuse me. Come here.
I thought you said this was a casual visit.
It'll be fun. Two's company.
And three's a crowd, so I'm gonna leave it to you two ladies.
What...
Okay. Okay, okay. So let's start with questions.
Great, because I have many. Oh. Okay.
Welcome to my humble abode.
My bookshelf, and my bed there. One pillow.
And my desk chair.
And, yeah, that's about it.
RICKY: Wow. No roommates?
Pays to be an RA.
I work hard, I play harder, and I've never been happier.
Wait, wait, wait, you're working?
Guess your dad didn't care for the dock, huh?
Uh...
We've parted ways amicably.
And honestly, it's a breath of fresh air,
but it just means four jobs, a full class schedule,
weekly practice with the ping-pong team,
and sectionals with my acapella group, the Blindorphins.
Ah.
Sounds like nothing's changed and you're still the number-one stud at the school.
Oh, no, not at all. I'm the dork of my friend group.
Yeah, the Birkenstocks gave you away.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
It's refreshing.
Kinda just doing most of this stuff for me now. So...
When do you sleep?
Uh, sometime between juggling all of that and talking to Val.
Really?
Yeah, she's been really, really great through everything.
I feel incredibly lucky.
You do look good.
Thanks.
You look terrible.
(SIGHS)
Guess you heard why I'm here?
All I heard was that you needed a friend.
And I don't care how far I get from Salt Lake, when Miss Jenn calls...
So what's up?
Are those guitars yours?
Yeah, I've been dabbling a bit.
I wanna hear something.
I can't believe Principal Gutierrez might be canceling HSM3.
I mean, clearly, the musical can't happen without me.
And, yes, my movie schedule is crazy, but Ricky and I promised
we'd be Troy and Gabriella this year.
And even though things have been a little tense between us
and he freaking disappeared out of town somewhere,
I do not break my promises.
So I must be available for the school musical.
Which is why I came up with an idea so crazy, it just may work.
Hey, Quinn, do you have a minute for a quick question?
For my leading lady, 30 seconds.
(CHUCKLES) Um...
So I was looking at my schedule
and I noticed that all the scenes I have left,
apart from the big reunion song with everyone, are all with Mack
-in this part of school. -Fifteen seconds, still no question.
I was just wondering if we could shoot like crazy
and get it all in the can, as they say.
Like, today.
Wow.
What an exciting idea.
Listen, not only is it not your job to set the shooting schedule,
but getting it in the can would require a lot of time
and a seasoned cast, which, frankly, you are not.
But G-force has been killing it,
and I think it'd be a relief for the crew if we got ahead of schedule.
Okay, kids, here's some great advice. "No" is a complete sentence.
Thanks.
(SIGHS)
You know what, I'm so sorry. I guess it was just silly of me
to think that just because Maria Jay said that, "Directing is a team sport,"
in her cover story for The Hollywood Reporter,
that you would be similarly inclusive.
Maria Jay?
That hack that directed This is Where the Money Went?
A faint shadow on my Sundance runner-up film,
Where Has All The Money Gone?
Yeah, I heard the cast bought her a Tesla.
-I'm hearing awards buzz. -Oh, yeah.
Uh...
Okay, listen up, everyone. Change of plans.
Today is going to be a marathon,
because I, Quinn, the director of this film,
have decided so by myself.
(BOTH LAUGH)
No way.
So, yeah, this song might be terrible, but...
All songs might be terrible, Elton.
Yeah, sounds about right.
Okay. Capo.
-Oh, capo? Fancy. -Mmm-hmm.
(SINGING) I call my dad but never talk
Can't ever say quite what I want
No, it's never enough, never enough
When the words just don't add up
So I call my dad and never talk
I'm so sick of my past breaking me like glass
Shackled by my emotion
I keep sayin' I'll change Keep stayin' the same
Can't seem to let it go, so...
Speak up, speak out
BOTH: I'm screaming out But I don't make a sound, no
Gotta get up and go now
BOTH: Don't wait for the moment Just to keep missin' out, yeah
All my excuses, I overuse them Every time I open my mouth
For all the times I never knew how
Speak up
Speak out
-Yeah, grab the piano. -Why not?
(CLEARS THROAT) You take it.
My woes They know the worst of it
Sometimes we gotta knock 'em down
I wish they could say the things I can't admit
Just gotta let it out
Tongue tied Kept my lips shut
Forget it, so what
Now I gotta face the feeling
BOTH: I keep sayin' I'll change Keep stayin' the same
Can't seem to let it go, so...
Speak up, speak out
I'm screaming out But I don't make a sound, no
Gotta get up and go now
Don't wait for the moment Just to keep missing out, yeah
All my excuses, I overuse them Every time I open my mouth
For all the times I never knew how To speak up
Speak out Don't wanna walk away from this
Don't wanna be a sinking ship
The anchor on my tongue Won't let me swim
Don't wanna waste a moment more
Don't know what I've been waitin' for
I'll never get a chance like this again
So speak up, speak out
I'm screaming out But I don't make a sound
Gotta get up and go now
Don't wait for the moment Just to keep missin' out
Yeah
All my excuses, I overuse them Every time I open my mouth
For all the times I never knew how
Speak up, speak out
(SIGHS)
HARPER: Senior year huh? I remember it like it was two years ago.
(KOURTNEY CHUCKLES)
I'm not too sure how much my mom has told you,
but this visit is probably just a detour for me.
Let me guess.
-Four-point-something GPA. -Yeah.
-Class president? Future valedictorian? -Mmm-hmm.
I was an Ivy girl, too.
I mean, I've always saw myself just in the Northeast.
-Really? -Mmm-hmm.
Because I see you standing here right now.
Look, I get it. Ivys guarantee world-class resources,
powerful networking, high starting salaries.
That's what I'm saying.
And so does Lewis.
Plus, you will find a couple things here that you won't find up in New England.
Oh.
Such as?
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Siri, text the theater club.
"My beloved babies, those of you still in town,
"please remember, tonight's rehearsal is supes important."
-(PHONE BEEPS) -No, Siri, "supes." Not like chowder.
Siri! We have talked about this.
Carlos. Honey, you don't have any product in your hair
and you're wearing all black. Are things that bad with Seb?
Bad is an understatement, Miss Jenn.
My sweet, innocent, wouldn't-hurt-a-fly Seb
ripped my heart to shreds. I don't even know who I am anymore.
Honey, what do I always say?
"Trust the process"?
Yes. And, "The sun will come out."
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
It's early.
All right, people. Hi, yes.
Today, we are attempting to shoot 22 pages.
If we make our day, we will break the record
famously set by the crew of The Revenant
who shot all of the forest stuff in an hour because the bear was in heat.
So, you ready to crush it?
No prisoners today, just gotta nail that chemistry. That's our only job...
...as friends.
Best friends.
(CHUCKLES) Sorry, just trying to find my motivation for the chemistry.
Okay. Let's do this.
Action.
Thanks again for agreeing to tutor me, Bailey.
Being a member of Mensa isn't just an honor, Sam. It's a privilege.
Okay. Why is it that numbers can come so easily for me,
but I can't for the life of me remember when the Battle of 1812 was?
I think you just did.
(CHUCKLES)
You sure this is a good idea?
East High is a safe space for everyone, Sam.
And it's up to us to prove it.
You think this message might change the world?
I don't know. But I know you've changed my world.
Okay. So, I just spun a nine.
Which means one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
We just added three children.
Sam, three children? Do you really think we're ready for that?
Babe, it's you and me, we're Wildcats. How hard can anything be?
Hey, get me my agent.
Okay, get me my other agent.
Hey, Lev, it's Quinn.
Quinn Robbins.
Yeah, listen, I know what my next big idea is gonna be.
Oh, no, no. No. We don't need to worry about that. No.
I, uh... I already know who my next stars are.
Oh, Biggie.
-Ash, you look amazing. -(CHUCKLES)
You look... Cosmopolitan? That's a compliment.
Thanks. And exactly what I was going for.
(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)
Um... So, what are you doing here?
Family reunion. Grandma Red's hundredth.
-(GASPS) -She doesn't look a day over 80.
-(CHUCKLES) -So you're back, but not back, back.
-Exactly. -Yeah.
So, how about another latte? I am jet-lagged.
Hey, your last text said you had something important to tell me?
Right.
Ashlyn...
Last summer, something happened
between me and...
Seb.
-Wait. -Yes.
-You're... -Yes.
...the guy Seb cheated with?
Surprise.
-(CELL PHONE CHIMES) -(SCOFFS)
Fantastic. My girlfriend's kissing her childhood crush.
(DOOR OPENS)
Okay. So you wanna grab food?
(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)
You okay?
I am great. Super good.
That's...
Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.
Hey, I know what it feels like.
I'm here for you, though.
Unless you wanna be alone.
Last summer, I was terrified
when I realized I had real feelings for Gina.
And I never thought even for a second that she might feel the same way.
I'm sorry. Is it okay if I talk about this?
-Too late. -(CHUCKLES)
My senior year was supposed to be the best.
Me and Gina together. The musical. We even wrote a song together.
Really?
Everything was perfect, for, like, a second.
Just like it was with my parents, just like it was with me and Nini,
just like it was with my dad and freakin' Miss Jenn.
It's like, everyone's only allowed to be okay for, like, 10 seconds.
And then everything falls apart.
Hmm.
And then Gina gets this great movie opportunity,
and this guy, her childhood crush, is hangin' out all the time.
And it's like, I don't know, I don't wanna get in her way,
but I don't know what else to do but hide.
Well, do you know what she wants?
I don't know. I'm too afraid to ask.
Yeah.
Are you ever, like, um, afraid of the truth?
I mean, not so much anymore.
It's like...
I never respond to my mom's texts
'cause I don't wanna hear if she's back together with Todd.
I'm basically tanking my entire senior year
instead of applying to colleges or focusing on my grades.
I'm just distracted at the fear of losing more people.
Ugh! It's like...
I'm tired. I'm tired of losing people.
Big Red, Carlos is heartbroken. How could you guys do that?
Believe me, I feel awful. I didn't mean for it to happen.
Okay, what happened exactly?
We kissed-ish, at the movies.
You kissed Seb? How?
I don't know. I missed you. Seb missed Carlos.
I reached for his popcorn right when he reached for my nachos.
It all happened so fast.
We were at a Harry Styles movie.
(GROANS)
But we talked after and Seb was positive that it meant nothing to him.
Except for crippling guilt.
And I was positive it meant nothing to me. But...
I don't know, I guess that moment just brought some other feelings
into focus.
I guess it's kinda like my bi-origin story.
I'm... Really, really sorry, Ashlyn.
Are you okay?
Yeah?
I don't know.
Do you remember Val? The CIT from Shallow Lake?
Yeah. She was cute.
Yes, she was.
Wait.
Are you coming out to me now? Really?
How would that make you feel?
I believe in Yiddish the word is kvelling.
-(LAUGHS) -(SIGHS IN RELIEF)
Thank God! 'Cause...
There were fireworks, literally.
And I think I felt them again with that girl Maddox
when we almost kissed.
You almost kissed Maddox?
Oh, my God!
I totally knew she was in love with you from that Frozen documentary.
Well, the trailer. I didn't have the heart to actually watch the show.
Ash, that's amazing.
Yeah, it's amazing, and terrifying, and so many things.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
You know, it's not exactly the kind of conversation you have over text.
I'm happy for you.
Honestly, pretty relieved.
Sounds like you are, too.
Seems like we've been growing apart for a while now.
Or maybe just growing towards this.
Did we just have the most beautiful breakup in history?
I think we did.
Wow.
It's like the end of an era.
A golden era.
Friends, though, right?
Oh, yeah, forever and ever.
Okay, you really need to apologize to Carlos.
I will talk to Carlos. But you have to call Maddox.
-Oh! -(CHUCKLES)
But what if I got it wrong?
Like, I know I like her,
but what if she thinks we're just friends?
But what if you got it right?
Ashlyn, bringing you flowers on opening night last year
was the greatest decision I ever made.
Maybe now it's your turn to jump.
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING ON TV)
I was just a girl standing in front of a boy
asking him to have enough Halloween candy.
That's a really moderate request.
(SOBS)
I need pudding.
Oh, we're all out.
We ate 24 cups?
And the tub of Rocky Road.
It's like Halloween again.
(GASPS)
Rehearsals begin in an hour.
And we've already got Kourtney out of town and three dancers with the sniffles.
It's gonna be close.
Show people are dependable. Unless they're Seb.
Honey, what do you need?
It's not just that Seb cheated. It's why.
Well, did you ask him?
I'm afraid of what the answer will be.
What if he no longer finds me attractive?
Just the thought has me spinning.
Do you know what it's like to be gay?
There's an expectation that you have to have a six-pack and perfectly white teeth
and look just like a... I don't know, like a model.
Carlos, dear. I believe Seb sees you for all the wonderful things you are,
inside and outside.
Tell that to my outside.
Oh, honey. I understand that this particular issue is a process
and I will happily hold your hand through it.
But, as you know, hiding is never the answer.
A lighter shade of darkness.
Baby steps.
Fifty-six minutes.
Okay, that ice cream goes down in the book. I could never eat again.
It is nothing compared to our homecoming throwdown.
And the community center, I mean,
just walking through Thurgood Marshall Law Library
literally gave me chills.
It's definitely a vibe.
And the fact that Lewis was one of the first colleges
to have a business program
specifically designed to cater to Black-owned start-ups is legendary.
I have ideas.
Have you heard of Ayesha Awani?
Um, the breakout design influencer that's taken the world by storm.
I was one of her first followers.
She's an alum. She even designed Lewis' current sweatshirt.
(EXHALES) Wow.
Okay. I guess this is not what I expected.
I mean, college is just seeing what else is out there.
The thing is, I'm not so comfortable with "out there."
I mean, high school was amazing.
My mom's my rock. I found my people in the theater program.
(SIGHS)
Leaving them behind, it's gonna hurt no matter what I choose.
Lewis was a game changer for me.
It's not for everybody, but the trick is finding a place
where you can let your hair down... Or out.
You can do whatever you want with your hair here, we do not judge.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Like I said, I'm stayin' open.
It's a...
It's a big decision.
I won't push.
But if you want to pray on it, we have a chapel and everything.
(CHUCKLES) Thank you, Harper.
You have my number.
Okay, listen up. I just learned that Mack and Gina are minors.
So legally, I have to wrap them in five minutes.
We can do it. It's just one more scene.
One important scene that requires multiple setups
to capture the range of admittedly limited character emotions in the script.
I've done the math. We'll never make it.
Well, what if we make it a oner?
Like one setup, no stops. I used to be an assistant choreographer.
I can walk the Steadicam operator through every move.
Boom! Always down for a oner. Let's do this!
That is virtually impossible to achieve without a rehearsal.
But given what we've done today, sure, let's try it.
Take that, Maria Jay.
(CHUCKLES)
Besides how heavy can a Steadicam be?
Okay, um, just think of it like a slow waltz, yeah?
Three steps at a time. Just follow me.
MAN: Set!
QUINN: And...
Action!
For the past three years, it's been you and me.
And I wouldn't change a thing.
(CHUCKLES)
Not even the homecoming when we were on a break
and I danced with that boy, Chester?
MACK: (AS SAM) Only made me miss you more.
What about the time when I missed your Regional Mathletes final
to race in the Olympic trials?
I'm just glad that you won.
Look, the only thing that scares me
is what happens when you walk out of this building.
Hey, I'm not scared. You're my person, Sam. And I'm yours.
But you're graduating, Bailey. And I'm just a junior.
You're gonna go and play at some Pac-12 school, I know you are.
What if you forget about your freaky STEM boy back home?
If I ever did that, I think you'd invent a way to quantum teleport wherever I am.
MACK: (AS SAM) That's not even a real thing.
Hey, I'm just a baller. Just promise me you won't forget me, either.
East High is a big place, lots of fish in the sea as they say.
And I'm not here to make waves.
Besides, I'm too proud of the fact that I get to be Bailey Johnson's boyfriend.
I'm proud, too.
Cut!
Wait, okay. Did we get it?
That is a wrap on Mack and Gina for the day.
(CREW APPLAUDING)
Which felt like nine days.
(CHUCKLES)
Nice work.
Thank... Oh, thank you.
Okay, so, the real reason we did all this in one day...
Because we're friends.
Yes. And because if we didn't, they were gonna cancel my school musical.
It's a lot to explain, but...
Mom?
I couldn't miss your big day.
You missed every one of my opening nights.
Well, Hollywood is different. And you were amazing today.
Thank you. Well, now I can focus on being Gabriella.
Oh, Mack, I'm Gina's mother.
-Hi. -Would you like to come over for dinner?
No, Mom, I have HSM3 rehearsals in 15 minutes, and I'm sure
that's the last thing that Mack...
Actually, a home-cooked meal sounds kind of fire.
But Miss Jenn said...
Hey, you just saved that lady's musical.
I'm sure the others can fill in for one more day.
It's Miss Jenn. Her name is Miss Jenn.
TERRI: Gina.
Come on, Wildcats.
Remember, Kourtney and Ricky are out of town.
Kourtney is excused and Ricky promised to be back in time.
EMMY: Hi.
(GASPS)
Oh. Ooh!
Hugs. I love that we're doing this now.
I have never been happier to see you.
You know, it's just me, Emmy, right?
Yes. A living human member of the drama club.
(LAUGHS)
Big Red! My reddest child.
Cairo looks good on you.
Where is everybody?
They'll be here!
BRB. Just gonna go
make a super quick, possibly life-changing phone call.
Mmm.
-(CHUCKLES) -Hi!
So, I've got good news and bad news.
Mmm. Spill the international tea.
Well, the guy that Seb cheated with was...
No.
But before you claw my eyes out, you should know that all we did was kiss.
You kissed my boyfriend?
But the good news is it meant nothing.
You kissed my boyfriend?
I guess it's all bad news, then.
I'm really sorry, Carlos.
Okay. I'm very fond of you, but I can't even look at you right now.
Good day.
Carlos?
Oh, hi. Um, I'm sorry, I was looking for Maddox. Who is this?
Oh.
Hi, Madison.
(BLOWS RASPBERRY) I am stuffed.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
-(THUNDER RUMBLES) -No.
I should probably hit the road before an actual monsoon arrives.
-Yeah. -Yeah?
Hey, I'm sorry for showing up and dropping everything on you earlier.
You didn't ask for that. And...
Actually, I think you're done talking for a minute, okay?
What?
What would Val say?
(CLEARS THROAT)
I validate everything you're saying,
and I don't think you're wrong about any of this stuff.
Gee, thanks?
But here's some tough love.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Losing Gina hurt like hell.
But you are my brother, and she was happy. So I moved on.
I appreciate that.
But honestly, dude, there are a lot of things that I would've done different.
I wish I would've stood up to my dad sooner.
I wish I had spent last summer having more fun. I...
There are just so many things that I didn't get right.
I had no idea.
Look, the point is, sometimes things don't work out.
And our job is to just shake it off
and hold on to some hope for what's next.
Look...
My time at East High is over.
And I am so proud of who I am and who I've become.
And I do love what has come next.
But, dude, there is nothing in this world like high school.
Nothing. And I promise you,
you will never meet another family like the Wildcats.
Take 'em in, love 'em.
Because honestly, one of the biggest reasons I stay so busy
is because I miss it every single day. And you will, too, Ricky.
I promise you. It happens to every single one of us.
Yeah.
And look, dude, I think there are plenty of people
who do more than just worry about you.
But you have to let them.
I mean, you have to actually pick up your phone,
reach out and stop feeling so sorry for yourself.
-That's not... -And look, Gina is the best.
And I'm at peace with the way that things worked out.
But she wouldn't be with you if she didn't see the guy you could be.
She's too smart for that.
And if you throw that away now,
if you give up on it, if...
If you hurt her...
I will never forgive you.
-But... -No buts, Ricky.
You think that you're the guy that runs away,
and that's just some personality trait that you have to be stuck with forever.
You know, something bad happens and you hide.
Like, opening night of HSM.
And the crazy thing is that you think you're actually helping the other person,
but you know what?
I'm actually hurting them?
No, you're actually hurting yourself.
Look, you can be the guy who runs.
You can be. Plenty of people do.
But is anybody gonna show up for that guy?
You still have plenty of time to change that.
(SOBS) How?
If you wanna be happy in the future,
you better start speaking your mind to the people you care about.
Like right now.
(TAKES DEEP BREATH)
(SNIFFLES)
Okay.
I'm not gonna run away again. I'm not gonna run away this time.
I'm not the one you gotta tell.
EJ, you're my brother, too.
Is this the part where I fake slap you or...
No, this is the part where you let me hug you.
Why didn't we hang out more in high school?
I don't know. Maybe 'cause you were always stealing my girlfriends.
Okay. Well, you had to ruin the moment.
Here.
No.
You'll probably get more use outta this than me.
EJ...
Please.
Thank you, dude.
-I love you, dude. -Love you, too.
So, yeah, I was discovered at a Chuck E. Cheese
when I was only three years old.
(GINA CHUCKLES)
Being a celebrity has its perks. But it's also a big responsibility.
Well, plus it's super fun, right?
Honestly, that's not the goal.
Watching you go for it today reminded me that I need to keep pushing myself
to be the very best at all times.
Sounds like music to my ears.
It sounds like you got it all figured out.
Oh, for sure. Sitcom star at 10, comeback role at 17.
Emmys buzz at 19. Oscar disappointment at 22.
Married at 25 and twins by 30.
Miss Porter, can I have some more milk?
Uh, is there any room in there for fun?
Twins are fun.
Oh, more steak, Mack?
Actually I'm stuffed.
But I really appreciate you switching out some of those ingredients to go paleo.
It's the least I can do.
I mean, Gina wore your face as a blanket when she was a kid.
(CHUCKLES) No. Mom.
My point is, Mack, you're welcome around here anytime.
And I appreciate that.
So, can I just Venmo you guys for dinner, or should I have my team reach out?
Oh, no, honey. It's our pleasure.
-(CELL PHONE VIBRATES) -Oh!
Excuse me, guys.
Mack Alana.
I can tell he really likes you.
Okay, what happened to your no-boys rule?
For a young man, with that much focus on the future, I'd make an exception.
(SCOFFS)
Honey, just... You seem so happy these days.
You think I wake up every morning before my alarm
with a smile on my face because of Mack?
Yeah.
I mean... I don't know.
Yeah. There... You know what, never mind.
Actually, Mom, there are a lot of things that you don't know.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Me again. I know it's only been a day, but today has been a big, big day.
And I don't know what to do.
But my mom's outside waiting,
and I don't know whether to stay or go, or rest, or...
Or jump.
I guess I'm just looking for a sign.
(DOOR OPENING)
All right, let's just take it to the top.
Run through it and we got this.
WOMAN: Which song are we doing?
-MAN: Jump. -Okay.
It's all right. (CHUCKLES)
Okay, so Rosy would come in, well, right at the top.
But is she coming in at all?
Oh, sorry.
It's an open chapel.
Right, I just love that song, so I'm kinda cheezing over here.
Really? Do you know the words?
Oh, I was just leaving.
We just need to run our parts.
Okay. I'm Kourtney, by the way.
We're the Loose Roulettes.
Come on.
Okay. Take it from the top.
-Yeah. -Okay.
