1
00:00:06,716 --> 00:00:09,886
Oh, my gosh. This is an engagement ring.
2
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:11,471
Looks like one.
3
00:00:11,555 --> 00:00:14,599
[gasps] If I ever get engaged,
I want emerald.
4
00:00:14,683 --> 00:00:16,768
Green to go with me being vegetarian.
5
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:18,270
Whose is it?
6
00:00:28,780 --> 00:00:30,657
It's still there.
7
00:00:30,740 --> 00:00:36,371
[sighs] Justin said that his mom said that
my mom said that she's serious with Max.
8
00:00:36,454 --> 00:00:38,373
- Who's Max?
- My mom's boyfriend.
9
00:00:38,456 --> 00:00:39,457
[inhales sharply]
10
00:00:39,541 --> 00:00:40,709
I'm gonna call Justin.
11
00:00:43,879 --> 00:00:45,922
[line ringing]
12
00:00:46,006 --> 00:00:48,717
-What up?
- Justin! We need to stop a wedding.
13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,260
Hi. I'm Brandi, with an I.
14
00:00:50,844 --> 00:00:54,472
Hey, Brand-eye.
Whose wedding are we stopping?
15
00:00:54,556 --> 00:00:56,808
Her mom is gonna marry Matt.
16
00:00:56,892 --> 00:00:59,394
- Max.
- Wait, what?
17
00:00:59,477 --> 00:01:01,354
Look, I found this.
18
00:01:01,438 --> 00:01:02,480
A ring?
19
00:01:02,564 --> 00:01:05,317
Not just any ring. An engagement ring.
20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,861
What do you mean you found it? Where?
21
00:01:07,944 --> 00:01:10,238
I found it right in here. In-- [sighs]
22
00:01:10,822 --> 00:01:12,365
[Justin] A junk drawer?
23
00:01:14,242 --> 00:01:15,744
- [Sarah humming]
- [gasps]
24
00:01:17,537 --> 00:01:19,456
- Ooh. Hey.
- [Brandi] Okay.
25
00:01:20,123 --> 00:01:21,207
[gasps]
26
00:01:23,919 --> 00:01:25,212
That was my mom.
27
00:01:25,295 --> 00:01:26,838
Okay, breathe. Relax.
28
00:01:27,547 --> 00:01:29,716
- [breathes deeply]
-Doesn't mean anything.
29
00:01:30,508 --> 00:01:32,510
I mean, it's in a junk drawer.
30
00:01:33,386 --> 00:01:35,972
He's right. That's a clue.
31
00:01:36,056 --> 00:01:39,059
Why would she put something so precious
in a junk drawer?
32
00:01:39,643 --> 00:01:41,311
I mean, my first tooth is in there.
33
00:01:41,394 --> 00:01:42,938
You should put that under your pillow.
34
00:01:43,021 --> 00:01:45,190
It's probably worth a fortune by now.
35
00:01:45,857 --> 00:01:46,858
[chuckles]
36
00:01:48,652 --> 00:01:50,987
Tooth Fairy jokes
in the middle of my crisis?
37
00:01:51,613 --> 00:01:54,199
Okay, I like Brandi. I really like her.
38
00:01:54,783 --> 00:01:57,827
In fact, it's a bonus
to have her positive energy around.
39
00:01:58,495 --> 00:02:02,332
But I, Amber Brown,
need my crisis space right now.
40
00:02:03,250 --> 00:02:05,418
Yes, dear Diary, it is a crisis.
41
00:02:05,502 --> 00:02:09,004
I can't let my mom get engaged
before my dad moves back to the States.
42
00:02:09,548 --> 00:02:13,802
It would erase all… [sighs] …all hope.
43
00:02:15,595 --> 00:02:17,138
Maybe she's holding it for a friend.
44
00:02:17,222 --> 00:02:18,807
Or maybe it's from her past.
45
00:02:18,890 --> 00:02:21,810
Oh, she kept a diamond
from a long-lost love.
46
00:02:22,394 --> 00:02:24,187
It's definitely not from her past.
47
00:02:24,771 --> 00:02:28,733
My mom's way too superstitious to let
anything old possibly tarnish the future.
48
00:02:28,817 --> 00:02:31,778
She literally throws salt over
her shoulder when she's not even cooking.
49
00:02:31,861 --> 00:02:33,363
- Huh?
- Exactly.
50
00:02:34,864 --> 00:02:36,283
What's this?
51
00:02:36,908 --> 00:02:38,827
- What's what?
- This.
52
00:02:40,328 --> 00:02:42,956
"I picked up your dry cleaning
and put it in the front closet.
53
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,084
Looking forward to Red Dragon
with you and Amber this weekend.
54
00:02:46,167 --> 00:02:50,714
She can tell us all about
her first week as a middle schooler."
55
00:02:51,381 --> 00:02:52,549
They're an "us"?
56
00:02:53,675 --> 00:02:56,678
No, th-- that's me and Mom. We're an "us."
57
00:02:57,220 --> 00:02:59,848
They're a "me and Max," or a "Max and I."
58
00:02:59,931 --> 00:03:01,558
How many Maxes are there?
59
00:03:02,350 --> 00:03:03,476
[chuckles]
60
00:03:04,311 --> 00:03:05,312
More on the back.
61
00:03:08,231 --> 00:03:10,817
"And we can talk to Amber about us"?
62
00:03:10,901 --> 00:03:13,904
[gasps] Dun-dun-dun.
63
00:03:16,823 --> 00:03:18,825
["All Good" playing]
64
00:03:36,843 --> 00:03:39,304
[students chattering]
65
00:03:52,984 --> 00:03:54,027
[Amber] Action!
66
00:04:00,033 --> 00:04:01,117
Cut!
67
00:04:01,743 --> 00:04:02,744
Rewrite!
68
00:04:03,662 --> 00:04:05,330
[Phil] Hi, honey! Dad calling.
69
00:04:05,413 --> 00:04:08,166
Dad coming home. Only days away.
Can you believe it?
70
00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:11,253
Just need to find a place to live.
Working on that now.
71
00:04:11,336 --> 00:04:13,755
Okay, kiddo. Love you. Talk later.
72
00:04:15,382 --> 00:04:17,216
[Phil] Hi, honey! Dad calling.
73
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:19,886
Dad coming home. Only days away.
Can you believe it?
74
00:04:19,970 --> 00:04:22,472
- Hi!
- [gasps] Aw, geez, you scared me.
75
00:04:22,556 --> 00:04:24,015
[chuckles] Thank you.
76
00:04:24,099 --> 00:04:25,559
Who were you talking to?
77
00:04:25,642 --> 00:04:27,727
- No one.
- I do that too.
78
00:04:27,811 --> 00:04:29,354
[Hannah] It's a pretty-pajama party.
79
00:04:29,938 --> 00:04:34,442
Music, pizza, makeup,
spa treatments, bottled water.
80
00:04:35,026 --> 00:04:38,655
Pretty pajamas, music, makeup,
spa treatments, bottled water.
81
00:04:38,738 --> 00:04:40,699
I'm still working on the invite list.
82
00:04:40,782 --> 00:04:42,617
She's still working on the invite list.
83
00:04:42,701 --> 00:04:46,037
Hannah and her pajama party.
That's all she talks about.
84
00:04:46,121 --> 00:04:48,373
- That's all for now.
- That's all for now.
85
00:04:51,626 --> 00:04:53,587
- Wait, there's one more thing.
- There's one more thing.
86
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:57,048
- The bottled water is flat and sparkling.
- Flat and sparkling.
87
00:04:57,132 --> 00:05:01,428
Truth: I don't want to want to be invited,
but I want to be.
88
00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:03,221
Does that make sense?
89
00:05:05,098 --> 00:05:06,933
I guess it just feels good to be included.
90
00:05:07,517 --> 00:05:10,979
Don't wanna be, but do wanna be,
that is the question?
91
00:05:11,563 --> 00:05:13,607
Yeah. Why does that sound familiar?
92
00:05:14,232 --> 00:05:15,984
Because you just said it. [chuckles]
93
00:05:16,818 --> 00:05:17,819
I guess so.
94
00:05:17,903 --> 00:05:19,613
[students laughing]
95
00:05:19,696 --> 00:05:21,323
- [laughs]
- Oh, my gosh.
96
00:05:21,406 --> 00:05:23,325
Do you ever get confused by your wants?
97
00:05:23,825 --> 00:05:25,118
Like?
98
00:05:25,201 --> 00:05:30,498
Like, I want my mom to be happy.
But I want her to be happy with my dad.
99
00:05:31,124 --> 00:05:33,919
But she wants to be with Max
and wants me to be happy about it.
100
00:05:34,628 --> 00:05:37,464
- Well, yeah, but wants can change.
- You think?
101
00:05:37,547 --> 00:05:40,175
Well, I wanted to stay at my old house,
102
00:05:40,258 --> 00:05:43,178
but now that I have you as a friend,
I want to stay at my new house.
103
00:05:44,137 --> 00:05:49,059
And I want to be invited to Hannah's
pajama party, but don't want to admit it.
104
00:05:49,142 --> 00:05:52,062
- She said she's inviting everyone.
- Then we'll be invited?
105
00:05:52,145 --> 00:05:54,231
I don't think I've ever been an everyone.
106
00:05:54,814 --> 00:05:56,191
- [laughing]
- [chattering]
107
00:05:56,274 --> 00:05:58,193
But, if I do get invited,
108
00:05:58,276 --> 00:06:00,946
I can wear my cute, pink flannels
with little dogs all over them.
109
00:06:01,029 --> 00:06:04,449
- My Aunt Pam gave them to me.
- I'm gonna need real, actual pajamas.
110
00:06:04,532 --> 00:06:06,618
I usually just wear gym shorts
and a T-shirt to bed.
111
00:06:06,701 --> 00:06:08,828
Don't worry. I've got some you can borrow.
112
00:06:10,163 --> 00:06:12,540
- Oh, and food.
- And food.
113
00:06:12,624 --> 00:06:14,751
- Hey, Shawntay.
- Can't talk right now, Amber.
114
00:06:14,834 --> 00:06:16,086
Just saying hi.
115
00:06:16,169 --> 00:06:19,548
Pancakes, waffles,
and smoothies of all kinds.
116
00:06:19,631 --> 00:06:21,383
Breakfast will be served.
117
00:06:22,259 --> 00:06:23,718
Hi, Hannah!
118
00:06:23,802 --> 00:06:25,679
- Hi. Hello.
- Shh!
119
00:06:25,762 --> 00:06:27,305
It's okay.
120
00:06:27,389 --> 00:06:28,682
- Hello.
- Hi.
121
00:06:28,765 --> 00:06:30,225
Come on.
122
00:06:30,892 --> 00:06:34,271
See? She said hi back.
I'm sure she's inviting us.
123
00:06:34,354 --> 00:06:36,314
She kind of did.
124
00:06:36,398 --> 00:06:38,149
But we can have sleepovers too.
125
00:06:38,233 --> 00:06:40,986
My dad's looking for a place,
and I'll be with him half of the time.
126
00:06:41,069 --> 00:06:42,237
You'll have to come stay.
127
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,074
Wow. Two houses? That's so Hollywood.
128
00:06:46,157 --> 00:06:48,910
But that's the thing.
I don't want two houses.
129
00:06:49,619 --> 00:06:51,871
Dad should be home with me and Mom.
130
00:06:51,955 --> 00:06:55,041
We need to have a Wedding Stoppers
meeting immediately after school.
131
00:06:55,125 --> 00:06:56,585
Def. I have some more ideas.
132
00:06:57,460 --> 00:06:58,837
[mouthing] Oh.
133
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,298
- Hi, Stanley.
- Oh, hey there.
134
00:07:01,381 --> 00:07:03,341
- It's Brandi. Brandi with an I--
- Hey, Amber.
135
00:07:03,425 --> 00:07:05,010
Hey, Stanley.
136
00:07:05,594 --> 00:07:06,928
- Oh!
- [gasps]
137
00:07:07,596 --> 00:07:09,639
- [Amber inhales sharply]
- Man, are you okay?
138
00:07:09,723 --> 00:07:11,766
- [laughs]
- She's fine.
139
00:07:11,850 --> 00:07:13,727
- Are you okay?
- So embarrassed.
140
00:07:13,810 --> 00:07:14,853
Doing good!
141
00:07:14,936 --> 00:07:16,646
[giggling]
142
00:07:17,230 --> 00:07:19,274
I wish they'd stop moving that pillar!
143
00:07:19,357 --> 00:07:21,276
- Don't look back!
- Oh, right. Okay.
144
00:07:21,359 --> 00:07:23,945
- I'm cool. [inhales sharply, groans]
- Very cool.
145
00:07:24,029 --> 00:07:27,782
And strong. Whoa.
You hit that pole! [chuckles]
146
00:07:27,866 --> 00:07:30,452
It hurt too. I'm waiting to scream
once we're outside.
147
00:07:32,037 --> 00:07:33,872
[Brandi] These pajamas are so cute.
148
00:07:33,955 --> 00:07:37,042
I'd actually wear them during the day,
like, to lunch or something.
149
00:07:37,125 --> 00:07:38,877
I'll borrow these for Hannah's party.
150
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,921
You want me to take minutes
on this meeting?
151
00:07:41,004 --> 00:07:42,797
Have we officially come to order?
152
00:07:42,881 --> 00:07:45,842
Yeah, I think so.
Once Amber gets in a full mile.
153
00:07:46,843 --> 00:07:48,136
- [chuckles]
- Wait.
154
00:07:48,220 --> 00:07:51,848
So we agreed that when Max takes
me and Mom to dinner on Saturday,
155
00:07:51,932 --> 00:07:53,225
that's when they're telling me
156
00:07:53,308 --> 00:07:55,310
- about the engagement, right?
- Mm-hmm.
157
00:07:55,393 --> 00:07:59,689
Taking you to a public place,
crowded, safer for them.
158
00:07:59,773 --> 00:08:02,484
You can't react. I've seen this in movies.
159
00:08:03,568 --> 00:08:05,862
Well, maybe your mom didn't say yes.
160
00:08:05,946 --> 00:08:08,531
Maybe the ring's in the drawer
because she's giving it back.
161
00:08:08,615 --> 00:08:10,659
Then why would she have it at all?
162
00:08:11,409 --> 00:08:13,912
He wouldn't give the ring
to someone who said no.
163
00:08:14,496 --> 00:08:15,538
That's true.
164
00:08:16,206 --> 00:08:18,375
Well, maybe she said yes at first.
165
00:08:18,458 --> 00:08:21,670
But then changed her mind
because my dad's moving back.
166
00:08:22,254 --> 00:08:24,756
I'm not sure about that last part.
167
00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:26,591
Let's recap, shall we?
168
00:08:26,675 --> 00:08:30,345
Max proposed, your mom said yes,
but then had second thoughts,
169
00:08:30,428 --> 00:08:32,514
so she put the ring back in the box.
170
00:08:32,597 --> 00:08:34,349
Max thinks they're engaged,
171
00:08:34,432 --> 00:08:37,686
but she's gonna give the ring back,
possibly tomorrow night,
172
00:08:37,769 --> 00:08:40,813
and break his heart,
because her ex is moving back home.
173
00:08:40,897 --> 00:08:42,315
- [chuckles]
- [Brandi] Ooh.
174
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:44,776
This is like a movie,
and I'm an extra in it.
175
00:08:44,859 --> 00:08:47,112
[scoffs] Okay, Brandi, this is serious.
176
00:08:47,821 --> 00:08:51,783
Yeah, I know.
The movie's gonna be a drama, duh.
177
00:08:51,866 --> 00:08:53,868
[chuckles] You're funny.
178
00:08:54,536 --> 00:08:55,662
[chuckles] Thanks.
179
00:08:55,745 --> 00:08:57,372
- Stop.
- What?
180
00:08:57,455 --> 00:08:59,624
Getting along so much.
181
00:08:59,708 --> 00:09:01,960
- Yeah, right.
- As if.
182
00:09:02,043 --> 00:09:03,920
We need to focus.
183
00:09:04,004 --> 00:09:05,088
[chuckles]
184
00:09:05,964 --> 00:09:09,968
[sighs] My mom isn't wearing the ring
because she wants to tell me first.
185
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,263
She'd think it's bad luck
to go ahead with it
186
00:09:13,346 --> 00:09:16,057
and to wear it
if I wasn't okay with it yet.
187
00:09:17,267 --> 00:09:18,351
So she's waiting.
188
00:09:19,102 --> 00:09:21,104
That makes me feel.
189
00:09:21,771 --> 00:09:22,939
Feel what?
190
00:09:25,066 --> 00:09:26,318
Feelings.
191
00:09:26,401 --> 00:09:27,944
[scoffs]
192
00:09:28,528 --> 00:09:32,115
How do I stall so my mom's still
officially single when my dad gets home?
193
00:09:33,158 --> 00:09:34,159
That's all I want.
194
00:09:35,035 --> 00:09:40,832
Just a chance for them to see each other
again and maybe they'll feel something.
195
00:09:40,916 --> 00:09:42,000
[Brandi] Simple.
196
00:09:42,083 --> 00:09:44,669
All you have to do
is avoid all mom-and-daughter talks
197
00:09:44,753 --> 00:09:45,962
until your dad gets home.
198
00:09:46,046 --> 00:09:47,088
What?
199
00:09:47,172 --> 00:09:49,549
If your mom
doesn't have a chance to tell you…
200
00:09:49,633 --> 00:09:52,093
Oh, she won't make
the engagement official!
201
00:09:54,012 --> 00:09:54,846
Yep.
202
00:09:54,930 --> 00:09:56,765
I'd like to propose a name change,
203
00:09:56,848 --> 00:09:59,851
from Wedding Stoppers
to Engagement Stallers.
204
00:09:59,935 --> 00:10:02,312
- All in favor, say aye.
- Aye.
205
00:10:03,021 --> 00:10:05,190
Wait, what do I do at dinner on Saturday?
206
00:10:05,273 --> 00:10:06,858
We'll need another meeting.
207
00:10:06,942 --> 00:10:10,028
Until then, avoid all talks.
208
00:10:10,612 --> 00:10:11,988
Yeah.
209
00:10:12,072 --> 00:10:14,449

210
00:10:15,408 --> 00:10:16,409

[door closes]
213
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,565
[Sarah] Amber?
214
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,327
- [blower whirring]
- Hey. Um…
215
00:11:01,454 --> 00:11:02,789
[Sarah grunts]
216
00:11:13,925 --> 00:11:15,343
Hmm.
217
00:11:15,427 --> 00:11:19,890
You know, if you actually put it
on your finger, I hear it really sparkles.
218
00:11:20,473 --> 00:11:21,683
[groans]
219
00:11:22,475 --> 00:11:23,935
You okay?
220
00:11:24,728 --> 00:11:26,813
Mmm, Amber's just acting weird.
221
00:11:28,148 --> 00:11:31,776
Well, maybe it's this new friend of hers,
neighbor, having an influence on her.
222
00:11:31,860 --> 00:11:32,903
- Brandi?
- Yeah.
223
00:11:32,986 --> 00:11:34,237
Nah, she's a good kid.
224
00:11:35,113 --> 00:11:36,573
Amber just needs a friend.
225
00:11:36,656 --> 00:11:38,867
She just needs to have
some part of her world
226
00:11:38,950 --> 00:11:40,952
away from that sketch pad once in a while.
227
00:11:41,786 --> 00:11:46,333
If I were half the artist Amber is,
I'd spend most of my time drawing.
228
00:11:46,416 --> 00:11:49,419
- That's what my dad always says.
- That's what her dad always says.
229
00:11:50,503 --> 00:11:51,504
[chuckles]
230
00:11:52,130 --> 00:11:53,673
I love you.
231
00:11:54,633 --> 00:11:55,800
I love you too.
232
00:11:57,093 --> 00:11:59,888
So what? Are you engaged or not?
233
00:12:00,597 --> 00:12:02,140
- Do you hear something?
- [gasps]
234
00:12:02,224 --> 00:12:03,225
No.
235
00:12:06,978 --> 00:12:08,605
What year is this grape juice?
236
00:12:09,773 --> 00:12:13,610
So they never said the word "engagement,"
but they had the ring right there.
237
00:12:13,693 --> 00:12:15,362
Yeah, she saw it all.
238
00:12:15,445 --> 00:12:18,907
And when my mom mentioned my dad,
it gave me hope, you know.
239
00:12:19,407 --> 00:12:22,327
I've been thinking about this.
Two things to consider.
240
00:12:22,869 --> 00:12:26,248
The Red Dragon has fortune cookies.
Your mom's superstitious.
241
00:12:26,831 --> 00:12:27,832
Yeah?
242
00:12:27,916 --> 00:12:31,753
Put 'em together,
maybe you'll get a fortune cookie
243
00:12:31,836 --> 00:12:35,382
that says something that'll give
your mom a reason to definitely wait.
244
00:12:35,465 --> 00:12:39,427
Well, yeah, that'd be convenient.
But what are the odds of that happening?
245
00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:44,099
100% if you write it yourself.
246
00:12:44,975 --> 00:12:46,560
Oh, that's a good idea.
247
00:12:47,185 --> 00:12:48,228
[cell phone chimes]
248
00:12:50,313 --> 00:12:52,774
OMG.
249
00:12:52,857 --> 00:12:53,858
What?
250
00:12:54,484 --> 00:12:57,487
Hannah posted her guest list
for her pajama party this weekend.
251
00:12:57,571 --> 00:12:59,781
"Katrina, Melissa, Ariel…"
252
00:12:59,864 --> 00:13:01,992
Almost every girl
in the sixth grade is invited.
253
00:13:02,492 --> 00:13:04,995
"Belisse, Molly, Gloria…"
254
00:13:05,078 --> 00:13:06,871
[whispers] Where's our name?
255
00:13:06,955 --> 00:13:07,956
[sighs]
256
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:09,040
Except us.
257
00:13:11,334 --> 00:13:12,419
Who cares?
258
00:13:13,545 --> 00:13:14,754
Badge of honor. [chuckles]
259
00:13:14,838 --> 00:13:15,839
Right?
260
00:13:20,010 --> 00:13:23,054
[sighs] Yikes. Sorry, you two.
261
00:13:24,598 --> 00:13:28,643
This meeting of the Engagement Stallers
ends now at 7:42 p.m.
262
00:13:29,185 --> 00:13:31,229
Operation Avoid All Talks is in play.
263
00:13:31,813 --> 00:13:35,442
Mission: to write a good fortune cookie
to ensure your good fortune.
264
00:13:35,525 --> 00:13:36,818
Ba-later.
265
00:13:37,485 --> 00:13:38,486
Ba-later.
266
00:13:39,195 --> 00:13:40,113
[computer chimes]
267
00:13:40,196 --> 00:13:41,197
We're still going.
268
00:13:41,281 --> 00:13:44,451
- Where?
- To the pajama party.
269
00:13:45,035 --> 00:13:46,036
[chuckles]
270
00:13:46,620 --> 00:13:48,955
- [guests chattering]
- [pop music playing]
271
00:14:02,302 --> 00:14:04,221
[whispers] Come on, I see a window.
272
00:14:07,766 --> 00:14:09,267
[whispers] There's nothing.
273
00:14:13,188 --> 00:14:15,732
We can't see anything.
They're probably upstairs.
274
00:14:15,815 --> 00:14:18,818
She probably has, like, a master bedroom
with a skating rink or something.
275
00:14:19,569 --> 00:14:21,154
- Can you climb?
- What?
276
00:14:22,155 --> 00:14:24,199
[Brandi] Scientists hide in bushes
and study things,
277
00:14:24,282 --> 00:14:27,160
like elephants and lions
in their natural habitat.
278
00:14:27,244 --> 00:14:29,204
[Amber] I cannot believe we're doing this.
279
00:14:29,913 --> 00:14:31,706
[gasps, chuckles]
280
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:32,916
[gasps] Whoa.
281
00:14:35,085 --> 00:14:38,296
She has a vanity.
With lights on the mirror.
282
00:14:39,172 --> 00:14:42,175
Plus a full-length mirror. No, two.
283
00:14:43,176 --> 00:14:45,053
- [Brandi] Mmm.
- Look at her bed.
284
00:14:47,889 --> 00:14:50,725
[Amber gasps] With a little
set of stairs up to it? Really?
285
00:14:51,393 --> 00:14:54,271
[imitating David Attenborough]
Here we see a popular group of friends
286
00:14:54,354 --> 00:14:56,273
in their natural habitat.
287
00:14:56,356 --> 00:14:59,776
They only make up 2%
of the school's population,
288
00:14:59,859 --> 00:15:03,780
yet they contain over 50% of its drama.
289
00:15:03,863 --> 00:15:04,864
[laughs]
290
00:15:04,948 --> 00:15:06,658
- [cell phone chiming]
- [gasps]
291
00:15:08,076 --> 00:15:09,327
Oh, no. Oh, my Gosh.
292
00:15:11,246 --> 00:15:13,665
- Shh! Act like you're part of the tree.
- Okay.
293
00:15:18,420 --> 00:15:19,713
That was close.
294
00:15:21,673 --> 00:15:24,092
[Brandi] Sometimes I think
I'd like to be one of them for a day.
295
00:15:24,175 --> 00:15:25,719
Yeah, me too.
296
00:15:25,802 --> 00:15:29,431
But then, after a while, I'd miss myself.
297
00:15:29,931 --> 00:15:33,101
Yeah. [chuckles] I'd miss myself too.
298
00:15:33,727 --> 00:15:35,478
- And yourself.
- [laughs]
299
00:15:36,980 --> 00:15:38,398
Oh, look, there's Shawntay!
300
00:15:38,481 --> 00:15:40,358
[Brandi] Hannah's popularity equal.
301
00:15:40,442 --> 00:15:42,485
Yeah, she's school famous.
302
00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:55,498
Uh-oh.
303
00:16:05,091 --> 00:16:06,343
Don't move.
304
00:16:10,263 --> 00:16:11,514
No, no, no, no, please don't.
305
00:16:18,104 --> 00:16:19,147
What's she doing?
306
00:16:21,441 --> 00:16:24,361
Aw. She must be a Taylor Swift fan.
307
00:16:24,444 --> 00:16:26,863
That is such a
"You Belong to Me" vintage move.
308
00:16:39,876 --> 00:16:41,253
Okay, that's creepy. [gasps]
309
00:16:41,336 --> 00:16:42,879
Yeah. Let's get out of here.

[music stops]
314
00:17:00,397 --> 00:17:03,233
Dear Diary. I went on an adventure.
315
00:17:04,109 --> 00:17:08,905
I climbed a tree with my neighbor Brandi
and caught a glimpse of popular people.
316
00:17:09,738 --> 00:17:10,949
I learned a couple things.
317
00:17:11,533 --> 00:17:16,496
One: after they go upstairs to bed,
they have to go up stairs to bed.
318
00:17:17,497 --> 00:17:21,626
And I learned that as much fun as it was
to have an adventure with Brandi--
319
00:17:21,709 --> 00:17:23,920
which it was, very, very fun--
320
00:17:24,004 --> 00:17:28,382
but… [sighs] …it would've been nice
for us to be invited to the party.
321
00:17:29,009 --> 00:17:30,218
To be included.
322
00:17:31,344 --> 00:17:34,306
And they don't know what they're
missing out on, not including us.
323
00:17:34,389 --> 00:17:35,473
[sighs]
324
00:17:36,349 --> 00:17:39,686
I learned that
it hurts not to be included.
325
00:17:42,439 --> 00:17:46,276
Oh, and in other news,
earlier today I walked smack into a pillar
326
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,778
right in front of
the cutest boy in the whole school.
327
00:17:49,613 --> 00:17:51,031
Yes, it was Stanley.
328
00:17:51,531 --> 00:17:53,116
[sighs] It was so embarrassing.
329
00:17:54,075 --> 00:17:56,953
But I did make him smile. [chuckles]
330
00:17:57,579 --> 00:18:00,415
- Amber?
- Mom! I'm talking to my diary!

I am so sorry. Excuse me very much.
332
00:18:03,251 --> 00:18:06,296
I-- I didn't hear anything.
I did see that smile though.

All good things come to an end?
336
00:18:46,127 --> 00:18:48,713
Okay. [sighs]
337
00:18:48,797 --> 00:18:52,217
Not being engaged
gives your ex-husband a chance
338
00:18:52,717 --> 00:18:54,344
and makes your daughter happy?
339
00:18:57,722 --> 00:19:00,350
Then what? What should the fortune say?
340
00:19:04,271 --> 00:19:05,564
[scoffs] Okay.
341
00:19:06,731 --> 00:19:07,941
Ow!

Oh! Sorry.

It's okay. [groans]
I'm so nervous I barely even felt it.

00:19:16,533 --> 00:19:17,784
Good luck tonight.
346
00:19:17,867 --> 00:19:19,703
Did you decide on your fortune cookie yet?
347
00:19:19,786 --> 00:19:23,123
No. I think I just have to go with
whatever feels right in the moment
348
00:19:23,206 --> 00:19:25,000
and then pretend to be reading it.
349
00:19:25,083 --> 00:19:27,836
Good luck, brave engagement staller.
350
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:29,754
Thanks. Any advice?
351
00:19:31,298 --> 00:19:32,299
No.
352
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:33,967
[cell phone rings]
353
00:19:34,634 --> 00:19:35,677
Oh, it's my dad.
354
00:19:36,845 --> 00:19:38,763
How come you don't answer when he calls?
355
00:19:38,847 --> 00:19:40,015
Because…
356
00:19:42,475 --> 00:19:46,021
Because he calls so few times
that I'd rather have the voice message
357
00:19:46,104 --> 00:19:47,439
so I can play it a couple times,
358
00:19:47,522 --> 00:19:50,025
and then it seems
like he's calling me more than he is.
359
00:19:51,443 --> 00:19:52,527
Is that weird?
360
00:19:52,611 --> 00:19:55,447
No. It makes me feel.
361
00:19:56,531 --> 00:19:57,866
Feel what? [chuckles]
362
00:19:57,949 --> 00:20:00,994
Um… feelings.
363
00:20:01,494 --> 00:20:02,495
[chuckles]
364
00:20:02,579 --> 00:20:04,122
[Sarah] Amber? You ready?
365
00:20:07,918 --> 00:20:09,169
[Max sighs]
366
00:20:11,171 --> 00:20:12,505
[sighs, chuckles]
367
00:20:12,589 --> 00:20:14,841
I feel like I haven't had
a moment with you all week!
368
00:20:14,925 --> 00:20:16,968
Justin called and left a message.
I'm listening now.
369
00:20:17,052 --> 00:20:18,261
Okay. I--
370
00:20:18,345 --> 00:20:20,180
Okay! We all set?
371
00:20:20,263 --> 00:20:22,974
- Yeah.
- Yeah? [chuckles]
372
00:20:28,063 --> 00:20:29,814
Is there anything else
I can help you with?
373
00:20:29,898 --> 00:20:32,359
I'm good. [sighs] Gonna miss this place.
374
00:20:32,442 --> 00:20:34,402
Yeah. But you get to go home.
375
00:20:34,486 --> 00:20:36,696
Yeah. To be with my wife and daughter.
376
00:20:36,780 --> 00:20:37,906
Wait, I thought y--
377
00:20:37,989 --> 00:20:40,575
Yeah. [sighs] Ex-wife.
378
00:20:40,659 --> 00:20:41,868
- Old habits.
- [chuckles]
379
00:20:41,952 --> 00:20:45,163
- But yes, to be with my daughter.
- [phone rings]
380
00:20:49,292 --> 00:20:51,711
Philip Brown's office. Uh-huh.
381
00:20:52,546 --> 00:20:53,964
Oh, yeah, of course, just a moment.
382
00:20:54,047 --> 00:20:56,967
It's Moose with the two flat
about the apartment in the States.
383
00:20:57,050 --> 00:20:58,051
Thanks.
384
00:21:00,595 --> 00:21:02,180
[chuckles] This is Phil.
385
00:21:03,139 --> 00:21:05,600
Moose, what's up, old pal? How are you?
386
00:21:06,101 --> 00:21:08,103
[laughs]
387
00:21:08,186 --> 00:21:11,690
Yeah, I took a look at the photos online
and, man, the place looks great.
388
00:21:12,566 --> 00:21:16,361
I think my little girl's gonna love it.
So yeah, it's a go.
389
00:21:17,445 --> 00:21:20,240
Uh-huh.
That Thursday I'll pick up the keys.
390
00:21:21,575 --> 00:21:23,118
Okay? Okay.
391
00:21:23,952 --> 00:21:25,453
Look forward to seeing you too.
392
00:21:26,204 --> 00:21:27,414
Okay, buh-bye.
393
00:21:32,919 --> 00:21:34,170
[sighs]
394
00:21:44,389 --> 00:21:45,724
[sighs]
395
00:21:50,729 --> 00:21:53,648
She's a great teacher and all,
but it wasn't even on the class list.
396
00:21:53,732 --> 00:21:55,525
Amber, honey, Max and I, we--
397
00:21:55,609 --> 00:21:57,527
Um, Mom, le-- let me finish. [chuckles]
398
00:21:57,611 --> 00:22:00,572
Um, so that's
all the extra credit I can get.
399
00:22:01,406 --> 00:22:04,075
Well, that and if I turn
all my assignments in on time.
400
00:22:04,868 --> 00:22:07,412
Um, and-- and for my volunteer work.
401
00:22:08,413 --> 00:22:10,874
Well, you should be very proud
of yourself.
402
00:22:10,957 --> 00:22:13,585
- Thank you. Yeah.
- Yes, I am really proud of you, honey.
403
00:22:13,668 --> 00:22:15,003
Thank you.
404
00:22:15,086 --> 00:22:18,673
[clears throat] You know, Amber…
405
00:22:18,757 --> 00:22:21,009
Um, I-- I'll go get our fortune cookies.
406
00:22:32,938 --> 00:22:36,691
- [clears throat] Nice. All right. Dessert.
- [Sarah muttering indistinctly]
407
00:22:37,651 --> 00:22:39,861
[Max chuckles, mutters]
408
00:22:43,657 --> 00:22:45,742
It's-- It's important to wait.
409
00:22:46,701 --> 00:22:48,286
And give things time.
410
00:22:49,704 --> 00:22:53,458
So others can catch up
to how you're feeling.
411
00:22:56,086 --> 00:23:00,590
I just think that's the most wise
fortune cookie I've ever heard.
412
00:23:00,674 --> 00:23:02,133
I agree.
413
00:23:03,260 --> 00:23:04,177
Really?
414
00:23:04,886 --> 00:23:06,763
Yeah. Absolutely.
415
00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:18,316
Dear Diary. I guess--
I guess I'm feeling guilty
416
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,154
for not being happy for Mom
when she seems so happy with Max.
417
00:23:24,155 --> 00:23:25,907
I just wanna thank you ladies.
418
00:23:25,991 --> 00:23:27,075
For what?
419
00:23:27,158 --> 00:23:32,080
[stammers]
Including me for your dinner tonight.
420
00:23:33,707 --> 00:23:34,791
Mom.
421
00:23:35,875 --> 00:23:36,918
Yeah?
422
00:23:37,711 --> 00:23:38,753
You can wear the ring.
423
00:23:43,091 --> 00:23:46,344
I do believe that my mom
could be happy with my dad
424
00:23:46,428 --> 00:23:48,513
and that my dad
could be happy with my mom.
425
00:23:49,014 --> 00:23:53,852
And if they were together,
it would make me happy.
426
00:23:55,145 --> 00:23:56,730
So happy.
427
00:23:58,064 --> 00:24:02,360
So I, Amber Brown, am wondering… [sighs]
428
00:24:02,444 --> 00:24:05,196
…how do you decide
whose happiness is most important?
429
00:24:06,573 --> 00:24:09,618
[Phil] Hey, my dear girl.
I found a place. A two flat.
430
00:24:09,701 --> 00:24:12,704
We'll have the downstairs unit,
and there's a great family upstairs.
431
00:24:12,787 --> 00:24:16,249
I actually know the guy from college.
He's got kids your age.
432
00:24:16,333 --> 00:24:17,667
I think you're gonna like it.
433
00:24:17,751 --> 00:24:20,962
Only got a glimpse of it online,
but it has its own little courtyard.
434
00:24:21,046 --> 00:24:23,006
I thought you could have your own garden.
435
00:24:23,089 --> 00:24:24,466
Love you. Talk later.
436
00:24:25,050 --> 00:24:28,470
And then on Saturday,
we can play video games at your place.
437
00:24:28,553 --> 00:24:31,848
So cool having that empty apartment
for all of us to hang in.
438
00:24:31,932 --> 00:24:33,350
Oh, man, I love that place.
439
00:24:33,433 --> 00:24:34,768
Do you have a chemistry book?
440
00:24:34,851 --> 00:24:36,144
Uh, yeah, right here.
441
00:24:36,228 --> 00:24:37,520
Thanks.
442
00:24:39,022 --> 00:24:40,023
Oh, um,
443
00:24:40,106 --> 00:24:45,153
the days of the empty-apartment hangout,
they're gonna be gone for a while.
444
00:24:45,237 --> 00:24:47,739
- What?
- My dad rented the garden flat.
445
00:24:47,822 --> 00:24:49,199
Man.
446
00:24:49,282 --> 00:24:50,951
Some guy he went to college with.
447
00:24:51,034 --> 00:24:53,912
Trying to help him out, you know.
Single dad. Has a daughter.
448
00:24:53,995 --> 00:24:56,122
Well, then, where are we gonna hang out?
449
00:24:56,915 --> 00:24:57,958
I'll figure it out.
450
00:24:59,125 --> 00:25:00,502
All right, do it quick.
451
00:25:00,585 --> 00:25:02,837
You know that I can't last long
without video games.
452
00:25:02,921 --> 00:25:03,964
Trust me.
453
00:25:04,047 --> 00:25:05,340
Whatever.
454
00:25:11,388 --> 00:25:13,390
