Hi, I'm Ella Sims,
junior publicist.
Jonah, you are a hugely
talented filmmaker.
We're getting married, guys.
You called your dad?
Hell, no.
Get in the car!
Look at you.
Paddock watch, the Prada.
You're getting
your money somewhere.
If you think you need to go out
and take what's not yours,
there's obviously something
missing in your life.
I'm still a little concerned
about your finances.
I can work it out.
WENDI:
You're gonna be going
to a party tonight.
The client's gonna love you.
You know, there's a hostess
that just quit at Coal.
I could put in
a good word for you.
Hey.
Wow.
Oh, my God, Sydney!
Did you know her
pretty well?
I met her four years ago.
She was the one who convinced
me I could be a real chef.
(grunting and groaning)
Who needs Coal?
You are way too good
for that place.
Riley, I kissed
someone last night.
Oh, God.
Yeah, I had
the same exact
reaction when I found out
you kissed Auggie.
So, where do we go from here?
("Powerless" by Kristinia
Debarge plays)
(man sighing)
You're incredible.
Thank you, so are you.
* I'll flip your breaker now and
take your recharging off of me *
(sighing)
Hey, what's the rush?
Well, you booked two hours.
Now I gotta go.
But I want you to stay.
Thousand dollars if
you stay till sunrise.
* It's about to be lights out
I'm all yours.
* Solve the mystery
* It's about to be, it's about
to be lights out *
* I'm about to
* Wflip off the switch *?
* And shut it down, baby
* I'm about to leave you
powerless *
* Your body's
having a blackout *
* Before you ask what's that
about *
* Let's recall how you tapped
right into me *
* Used up all of my lifelines
* Too much of my life
* I'm putting all of the power
back into me *
* What you think this is?
* I'm about to leave you
* Shut it down, baby
* I'm about to leave you
powerless *
* Leave you powerless
* This isn't a false alarm,
isn't a false alarm *
* I'm about to leave you
powerless.
*
So, you're sure they're not
gonna be home all day, right?
Yeah, no, listen,
we've done this before,
and we've
had no problems, right?
So you have nothing
to worry about.
I'll see you
soon, bye.
Hey!
Hey.
Dad stick you with
the graveyard shift again?
Yeah, you know.
Part of
the joy of med school.
What about you, huh? Where
are you off to so early?
Oh, Hugo's.
Waffles and eggs.
Lauren, long night of
making people feel better?
Endless night, actually.
Let me see, we had, uh, two
car accidents, gunshot wound,
and a kidney failure
all in one shift.
Wow, well, you look exhausted.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm-I'm
still standing.
Yeah, for now.
Dr.
Mancini's got us coming in
for rounds in two hours.
So I have like 90 minutes
uninterrupted sleep
ahead of me.
Hey.
Take care of yourself.
Did we forget to set
this clock back
or are you, like,
an hour late to class?
I have teachers'
conferences today.
I don't have to go in early.
Oh, right, forgot.
You gonna work on your
treatment for Kendra?
Uh, yeah, probably.
Where are we, Jonah?
I-I have no idea.
We're supposed
to be engaged
and we're kissing
other people?
(sighs) God, I wish none
of this had ever happened.
Yeah, too bad in real life
there's no "undo" command.
I was thinking,
I should, uh, maybe
take a road trip.
Like hike Joshua Tree
or something.
Um, I was gonna
say the opposite,
that we go together somewhere.
(crashing)
What was that?
MAN:
Police! Get inside!
Now, now!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
LAPD! Go! Go! Go!
Get in there!
(siren wails)
Watch them!
Watch them!
Do either of you happen to know
where Auggie Kirkpatrick
might be?
Why?
We found the *** weapon.
What does that have
to do with Auggie?
It was a knife
with his blood on it.
Mr.
Kirkpatrick's
wanted for ***.
(siren wails)
What would a boy do
without his balls?
Whatever you have planned
for the rest of the
day, cancel it.
Okay, do I get a why?
I just got a heads-up
from corporate in New York
and they wanna do a
video conference at noon.
They want a full rundown
on how I'm making
the L.
A.
office more profitable.
And you want me
to be your wingman?
Talk you up
to the New York brass?
Done and done.
I've never needed a wingman.
What I need for you to do is
take over the lunch meeting
I was supposed to have
with Franz Keppler.
Oh.
You do know who
Franz Keppler is, right?
Yeah, the German wunderkind
who makes indecipherable
indie movies
that I would rather pluck
my eyes out than sit through.
I wouldn't open with that.
You
know, Franz is white-hot right
now that he's about
to start rolling on the
Bruckheimer blockbuster.
So, I need you to convince him
that he needs WPK.
Right.
Um, okay, a couple of problems.
I know nothing about his movies,
I speak zero German
and lederhosen
is not my style.
Well, at noon
New York's gonna ask me what
gets I have lined up.
I'm gonna tell them
I'm about to bring
Franz Keppler
into the WPK fold.
Don't make your boss a liar.
All right, no need to get
your jock strap in a knot.
I'm on it.
Are you sure you know
where it is?
(cell phone rings)
Michael?
Uh, yeah, I got it written down.
But where is the place again?
Pasadena Tile
on Colorado.
Right.
I wanna kiss you
good-bye, Mommy.
Sorry, Miss Vanessa,
he's so fast.
Yeah, you want a kiss,
you got it, pal!
I want Mommy.
Hmm.
Oh, come here.
Be a good boy today, okay?
Okay.
We'll be back later.
Thanks.
Noah, come right back.
DAVID:
Hola, Leticia.
¿Como estas?
I do not feel good
about this, David.
Oh, it's fine, I told you.
I'll have him back
in a of couple hours.
David!
There's my little munchkin!
Ready for an adventure
with your big brother?
Oh, yeah!
Good.
I can get in so much
trouble for this.
But you won't.
Because no one has to find out.
All right, you ready?
Let'*** it, pal.
Where are we going?
I can't tell ya.
It's a surprise.
Come on.
Okay, I may not be CSI,
but when your blood ends up
on the *** weapon
along with the victim's blood
you're usually guilty.
It doesn't prove anythin anything.
What other proof
do you need, Riley?
It's Auggie.
He'd never *** someone.
Are you forgetting about
the night he told you
about stabbing a guy
in a bar fight?
That was self-defense.
And look, obviously you're
not exactly Mr.
Objective
when it comes
to judging Auggie.
I wouldn't put you anywhere
near that jury box.
Whoa, I'm just stating
facts here, Riley.
One being that right after
they found that knife,
our good friend Auggie seemed to
very conveniently
just disappear.
He goes on surfing trips
all the time, you know that.
How do you know he's surfing?
I saw him loading his board
and his bag into his van.
Okay, so, he could just
have been going to the beach.
How do you know
he's on a trip?
Riley?
Did he tell you
he was going somewhere?
Riley, if you know where he is,
you have to tell the police.
Why? So they can arrest
him and convict him of a
crime he didn't commit?
It happens all the time.
Yeah, they also convict people
for aiding and abetting
a fugitive.
Look, Riley, we all know
you have this uncanny ability
to see the very best in people,
but is that really worth
going to prison for?!
You have no idea
he's even innocent.
Yes, I do.
I know Auggie, Jonah.
Oh, really? You know Auggie?
I mean, I get that you're
friends and you talk.
But think about it.
Honestly.
How well do you really
know that guy?
(phone chiming)
I gotta go.
Where?
Ella's having some kind
of emergency.
Of course she is.
You better hurry.
Well, this might actually
turn out to be
a blessing in disguise.
I was talking about
spending some time apart.
Why not start today?
Okay, now, there's one rule that
we cannot break, no matter what.
Okay? It's that we cannot
leave this place
until we have gone on
every single ride.
You got it?
Got it!
Good.
Why can't we do this
every day?
That's a little
complicated, bud.
(mispronouncing):
Auf Wiedersehen, Mr.
Miller.
That kind of means "good-bye.
"
Oh!
So, wait-wait
what's this
whole emergency?
Okay, so there's this German
guy that I'm trying to woo--
thank you--
and I know you know all
about German cinema.
This doesn't sound remotely
like an emergency, Ella.
The real emergency's happening
at our building right now.
What happened?
Thank you.
So, the cops raided Auggie's
apartment this morning.
They found the *** weapon
with Auggie's blood on it.
What?
Oh, my God.
It's terrible.
Is Auggie in jail?
No.
No, he's doing what every
innocent person does.
Disappear into
the ether.
Course the only
person who thinks
Auggie's actually
innocent is Riley.
Hmm.
Little disagreement
between the two lovebirds?
No, I just-- I'm getting
a little tired
of her obsession with
him, that's all.
Yeah, well, I don't blame you.
But there is nothing you can do
except help your neighbor who's
not a murderer-- me.
(sighs): So, wait.
Who's this *** mystery man?
Franz Keppler.
Stop.
We're having lunch
with him at Coal in 45 minutes.
Franz Keppler?
He just won
the Palme d'Or.
He totally revitalized
European cinema.
Wow.
Wait.
Oh, El,
if this is a joke,
it's cruel by even
your standards.
No, there's no joke.
There's just one
teeny-weeny catch.
You're not Jonah Miller
the filmmaker,
you are Jonah Miller
the new publicist at WPK.
I don't know a thing
about publicity.
It's okay, you don't have to.
You talk his movies,
I'll talk publicity.
We'll be fine.
It'll be fabulous.
So
Mr.
Walters here presented
with mitral valve prolapse
of the anterior leaflet.
What were the possible
complications?
Lauren.
Um
Endocarditis, uh,
makes the surgery
more difficult.
And?
And, um
Anyone.
Uh, the patient might have
extensive calcium deposits
on the valve leaflets,
which ups the surgery
risk factors.
MICHAEL:
Mmm.
That's it.
Very good.
All right, that's all.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
ANNOUNCER (over P.
A.
):
Dr.
Levy to Oncology.
Just a minute, Miss Yung.
Have you been studying?
Of course.
Now, when I chose you
for my team,
you said you could
handle the grind.
I can handle the grind.
Really?
Because there's a long list
of students
who'd give their right arm
for your spot.
Don't blow it.
(woman panting, sighing)
Oh, my God.
Good times, huh?
What the hell are
you doing here?
I need one more little favor.
Our agreement is very clear.
I send you your weekly payments,
and you stay the hell away
from me and my family.
But I had to come
see you in person.
You won't return my phone calls.
You know what?
This sick little game
of yours is starting
to *** me off.
I feel like I'm supporting
another child.
Don't think I'm not
appreciative.
Your money has been
so helpful.
I just bought some awesome
new furniture.
Oh, so let me guess,
you need more money.
Right?
I need a lawyer.
Huh?
I have a court case
coming up.
What for?
The cops came after me for some
little thing I did up in Oregon.
And now, they're saying
I, like, resisted arrest.
It doesn't even matter.
But I figure,
you're this big-time doctor,
you probably have tons
of important patients,
including lawyers.
You expect me to find
a lawyer for you?
The person who's
blackmailing me?
Go to hell.
Actually, it's your marriage
that goes to hell
once I send your wife
our little
video.
People like you,
they don't get away with this
kind of behavior.
It comes back to haunt you.
You would know.
My court date's
December 11'th.
Your choice, Doctor.
Either get me a lawyer,
or I get you divorced.
(sighs)
WOMAN:
Enjoy your lunch!
*
ELLA:
Oh, there's our
Bavarian buddy.
Oh, my gosh, I can't believe
I'm about to have lunch
with Franz Keppler.
Okay,
control the drool,
and remember,
you're a publicist,
not a fan boy.
I know.
Hi!
Franz?
Oh, hello.
(chuckles)
Wow, Caleb didn't tell me
how beautiful the publicist
would be.
(laughs)
Well, he is a man
of few words.
Anyway, this is
my associate,
Jonah Miller,
who also happens
to be one
Hello.
Hello.
of your biggest fans.
It's true.
Das Lied is one
of my favorite thrillers,
like, of all time.
Thank you.
Come, let--
you know, let's sit.
Ah.
Yes.
Yeah, with Das Lied I was,
trying to make a movie
that was visually striking,
mesmerizing.
Hmm
Kind of like your eyes.
ELLA: Oh!
Danke schoen.
So, congratulations
on the Bruckheimer movie.
No doubt that it is
going to be a hit, but we need
to make sure that you
are getting the accolades
that you deserve.
It's not just
a Matt Damon movie.
This is a film by Franz Keppler.
You're confident.
Mmm.
It's what I do.
I like that.
(chuckles)
Ella is an amazing publicist.
Thank you.
She's the best.
And one of the
most inventive
filmmakers of his generation
deserves the best.
Uh, but, Franz,
your use of shadows--
it makes Fritz Lang
look like an amateur.
You're too kind, Jonah.
Which must make you
the naughty one.
(under breath): No
Yeah.
You nailed it, Franz.
Ella is naughty.
Why do you think I proposed
to her, huh?
Couldn't let her
get away.
Like I would ever stray
from you.
Oh, uh
I'm so sorry.
I had no idea.
you were a couple.
I thought you were colleagues.
Oh, we just try to keep
a low profile.
You know, keep it
professional.
Mm-hmm.
But in reality,
he cannot keep his hands
off of me.
I don't blame him.
Okay, boys, let's
relax our trousers
and get down to business.
Like the juggernaut,
otherwise known as Franz
Keppler's career.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Vive la Franz!
(laughs)
RILEY:
Unbelievable, huh?
***?
Auggie?
I know.
He would never do
something like this.
I mean, I guess
the police are
coming up empty in their
investigation, so
So they're trying to
pin it on Auggie?
They're desperate.
And stupid.
Listen, Violet, I wanted to talk
to you about Auggie.
What about him?
Well, you guys work together.
Has he been
I don't know,
acting strange lately?
He's been Auggie.
I mean, yeah,
he got in that fight
with Marcello, but
Auggie had no choice.
What fight with Marcello?
Last night.
Auggie finally got fed up
with Marcello taking credit
for his recipes,
and he taught him a lesson.
Is Marcello okay?
Broken nose, couple
of broken ribs.
Auggie may have
lost his job,
but Marcello got what
he deserved.
I took care of Auggie
last night, though.
Auggie and I have become
well intimate.
(riders screaming)
Look over there!
Aah how about
getting one of those?
Yeah one of those.
The blue one.
(mimicking airplane)
That was so fun!
We were way up
there, huh?
I think I saw my house.
I think I saw the North Pole.
And Santa Claus was shoveling
his driveway.
He only comes in winter.
What?
Can you win me a prize?
No.
David!
Yeah, I'll win you a prize.
You got it.
Come on, pal.
(phone rings)
Uh, wait, one second, Noah.
Leticia, what's up?
They're not home, are they?
Okay, good.
No, no, no, we're fine.
Noah, get down from there, pal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we'll be home in, like,
an hour.
And the good news
is you won't have to feed him
for, like, a week.
Yeah, he's eaten his
weight in corndogs.
Noah!
No!
(onlookers murmuring)
You okay, buddy?
Okay, you're gonna be okay.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Okay, we're here, buddy.
We're gonna get some help,
all right?
I'm looking for Lauren Yung.
She's a med student,
part of Dr.
Mancini's team.
David.
Hi.
ER's this way.
Okay.
All right, buddy.
So, when you called
you left out the part
about how this
happened.
It doesn't matter.
He said that his arm
hurts real bad.
Okay.
Okay, just relax.
Pulled some strings, we can
get him in straight away.
Okay, we can take it
from here, David.
You want to just
go wait over there?
I'm not going anywhere.
Unless you're a guardian,
it's not really policy.
Well, it is now.
I'm not leaving him
LAUREN:
It's okay.
Check his vitals,
get me a chem 20,
do an A.
P.
and a
lateral, left arm.
He also threw up
in the car ride over.
It's probably
all the junk he ate.
Could also be
a concussion.
What?
I didn't see him hit his head.
I'm going to take
care of him.
Add a CT scan.
Uh, Lauren,
um
something you should know--
my dad doesn't know
that I took Noah.
Well, he's about to.
They're calling
him as we speak.
Maybe you shouldn't have
anything to do with this.
I mean, if you want to step out
and have
another doctor come in
David, the child
needs medical care.
I'm giving it to him.
Auggie, it's me.
I just want you to know
I'm totally here for you,
and I know
it's only been 24 hours
since we last saw
each other, but
(knocking)
I miss you.
Call me.
Nice furniture.
Love what I've done
with the place.
Did you find me
a lawyer?
Oh, didn't need to.
I checked out the
details of your hearing,
and it turns out
I know the judge
that's scheduled
to preside over it.
What does that get me?
I actually met
Judge Davis
the day I did a quadruple
bypass on Mrs.
Davis.
Needless to say, the good
judge was extremely grateful.
That's perfect.
Eh, that depends.
See, Judge Davis has
the utmost trust in me,
and I'm your character witness,
either way.
What do you mean?
I mean
that I can tell him
that the Violet Foster I know is
a poor, disinherited orphan
and should have
the justice system smile
upon her.
Thank you.
Or
I can tell him that Violet is
a sick and twisted
menace to society
that should be
locked up.
Your move.
Fine.
And now we're done.
Your days of milking me
for money
are over.
Now, if even one single frame
of that video
shows up
anywhere, I call
Judge Davis
and he throws your devious
little *** in jail.
Who says doctors don't make
house calls anymore?
(door shuts)
FRANZ:
So tell me,
how did
you guys meet?
Oh, she
At my apartment
building, actually.
He, um--
well, he had a
girlfriend at the time,
but as soon as I saw
that adorable smile,
I just knew.
You know what? I'm thinking of
doing a romantic comedy,
and looking at you two,
I have found my inspiration.
Aw
Did you hear that?
I did.
Jonah, it's nice
to meet you.
And Ella, my dear
Franz, oh, very sweet.
Very nice
to meet you.
I'm going to put some serious
thought into working with WPK.
Jonah, hang on to
her tight, yeah?
She is worth keeping.
(mispronouncing):
AufWiedersehen, Franz.
Call me at the
office tomorrow.
Ja, ja.
Always knew you were destined
to win an Oscar someday,
but I never thought
it would be for acting.
Bravo.
Well, I had to come up
with a way to stop Franz
from slipping you
the wiener schnitzel
before salad was served.
I was talking about pretending
to be a publicist.
Oh.
Jonah, hi,
it's me, Ella.
You actually think some ***
director would ever faze me?
I deal with guys like that
all the time in my sleep.
I think that you put
your arm around me
and pretended
to be my beau
because secretly
it's what you wanted
since the day
that we met.
You really are drunk.
Aren't you?
You know funny thing is,
is that you and I as a couple--
completely natural.
I mean, Franz totally bought it.
Yeah, after drinking
an entire vat of wine,
I think he'd buy
anything we sold him.
(chuckles) Jonah, come on.
Give us a little bit of credit.
You and I at that lunch
were completely compatible.
More than I can say about
some real couples I know.
And by that, you
mean me and Riley?
It's pretty obvious
that the two of you
have been having
problems
since the day
you asked her to marry you.
It's not exactly my definition
of compatibility.
Maybe it's time
that you explore
some other options
the operative word
being "explore.
"
Okay, uh, what's that
supposed to mean?
Well, Hotel Andaz is
right down the street.
I can
cancel the rest
of my meetings, you can clear
the rest of your day,
and you can finally experience
what you've been missing
all this time.
Oh, Jonah, come on.
You can't tell me
that you haven't
at least fantasized
about the idea.
Yeah, Ella,
I'm engaged.
Remember that minor
little detail?
What does "engaged"
even mean--
giving your college
sweetheart a ring
because you're insecure
about your career
and you're hoping
that she'll bring you
some sense of security?
Is that why you think
I proposed to Riley?
(scoffs)
Absolutely.
Jonah, you guys are
nothing alike.
Okay, look, we might be going
through some growing pains
right now, but it's
nothing that's not normal
for any couple
planning a wedding.
Nothing about you
is normal,
and everything about her
is painfully normal.
El, you are so out
of line right now.
Am I?
You
are this brilliant,
passionate,
creative type who seeks
adventure and, and,
an-and excitement,
and Riley is this mellow,
laid-back schoolteacher
whose idea of a fun night
i-is grading spelling tests.
Okay, look say whatever you
want about me, I don't care.
Don't you ever
bad-mouth Riley.
If you have a problem
with the fact that
I'm in love with her,
then it's just that--
it's your problem.
Jonah
The only reason
I am even out here all day
alone with you is because
Riley trusts me,
and I trust Riley.
That's the reason she's the
person I'm meant to be with,
the only person I'm
meant to be with.
(typing)
(beep)
(typing)
Don't worry, he'll be
good as new in no time.
I can keep
an eye on him
if you want to go
to the commissary.
The coffee's semi-toxic,
but it's caffeinated.
No, I'm good.
Oh, my God, Noah.
MICHAEL: It's okay.
Mommy and Daddy are here now.
Sweetie
How you doing, buddy?
Mommy?
Hi.
Can I is it all right
to hold him?
He-He really
shouldn't be moved.
He's got a,
a hairline fracture to the ulna
and a mild concussion.
You are never to come near
Noah again, is that clear?
If you ever pull something
this reckless again,
so help me God, David,
I will press charges.
The last thing I ever wanted
was for him to get hurt.
Then what were you thinking?
I wasn't.
I just wanted
to spend time with him.
I wanted to
be a brother.
Okay? I screwed up.
I love him.
Well, you have an odd way
of showing it.
Good work, Yung.
(sighs)
Riley?
RILEY:
I'm in here.
Hey.
You okay?
Yeah.
No, not really.
Who are you calling?
No one.
Yet.
It's Auggie, huh?
You're calling to warn him?
I IM'd him.
I meant it when I said
that I wasn't going
to have anything
to do with Auggie, but
He's your friend.
I get it.
You believe in him,
so I believe in you.
If you don't think he did it,
I don't think he did, either.
I trust you, Riley,
because, in the same
exact situation,
I'd want you to trust me.
Jonah, the IMs Auggie
sent me back
they were kind of scary.
Maybe I don't know him
as well as I thought.
Maybe he did hurt Sydney.
But, if he
did do it,
and he ends up hurting
someone else
because I kept my mouth shut,
I couldn't live
with myself.
At the end
of the day,
you were right.
It's not up to me to decide
whether or not he's innocent.
Look
whatever you decide to do
I'm here for you.
(sighs)
(sighs)
(dialing)
Detective Rodriguez, please.
ELLA:
Caleb?
Ah, Simms,
there you are.
Oh, God.
You brought me in here
to talk football?
Franz Keppler just called.
Ooh.
He's coming to WPK.
Not only did he
love your pitch,
but he especially loved
your uh, boyfriend?
Invite me to one
of your slumber parties--
we'll have a pint
and share boyfriend stories.
Uh-huh.
He said his
name was Jonah.
That wouldn't happen
to be Jonah Miller,
the director of
the Anton V EPK
and the Boomkat video
savior, would it?
The one and only.
(chuckles)
I'm impressed, Simms.
He's absolutely adorable.
(chuckles)
Yeah, he is, but, um
But nothing.
He's brilliant,
he's charming.
He's a very
talented director.
You know something?
You've actually got good taste
in men.
I have very good taste
in everything, Caleb,
but the truth is,
is that Jonah is engaged.
Mmm.
(chuckles)
You're a bad girl,
aren't you?
(scoffs)
I'm not a home wrecker,
and Jonah is not my boyfriend.
Okay? He's just a friend
who was protecting me
from Franz's groping.
Mmm.
He's a hot-blooded,
heterosexual male.
Engaged or not,
if he's pretending
to be your boyfriend,
then he wants to be.
Oh, well, then,
that's his problem.
(laughs)
Because Jonah Miller
is so not my type.
Please.
Ooh.
Sorry.
Uh, did I get your book wet?
That's okay.
I've dropped my fair share
of books in the deep end.
That's what hair dryers are for.
You know, I
was thinking.
Making rent every
month is turning out
to be harder
than I thought.
And you're a
med student,
so money's got to be tight
for you, too, right?
That's putting it
mildly.
Well, I was wondering
if you and Ella
would be interested
in having a new roommate.
I don't take up
too much space,
and I promise I don't
talk in my sleep.
We would have
so much fun together.
You know, Violet,
I'd love to, but, um,
I-I don't think Ella's
going to be
too psyched
about sharing the bathroom
with one more person.
Yeah, I get it.
I figured it wouldn't
hurt to ask.
One shot of tequila.
Or 12.
I take it you've had about
as good a day as me.
Oh, no, I've had worse.
Especially since the police
finally figured out
who murdered Sydney.
What?
Who did it?
Have you two been trapped
in a vault all day?
The police were here
this morning
raiding Auggie's
apartment.
Auggie?
Uh, yeah.
The *** weapon
had Auggie's blood all over it.
They're searching for him
as we speak.
Oh, my God.
That is so messed up.
I'm as broken up
about it as you are.
Did you guys hear about Auggie?
Yeah.
We're, like, in shock.
ELLA:
Oh, I bet.
I mean, Riley, you know Auggie
better than all of us.
All those morning
jogs together.
Who knew that you
were running with the devil?
He's not the devil.
(whispers);
Right
Look, I'm, um
I'm sorry about
earlier today.
I have no idea
what got into me,
except for three bottles
of Pinot Grigio.
That much wine, and I go
straight for shock value.
Oh.
Well, don't worry
about it.
I won't.
I'm going to go chase my buzz.
Can I have a word
with you, David?
Sure.
* You gonna go soon, go soon,
go down the parlor *
* Make you up and put you
in a shirt and a collar *
* Drive you down the road
and lay your body down.
*
If you're here
for David Beatdown Part Two,
can we get on with it?
Actually, uh no.
No, I'm not here
for that.
Okay.
I stand by what I said
at the hospital.
What you did was reckless.
You cost Leticia her job.
It's not Leticia's fault.
Most importantly,
you put Noah's life in danger.
You don't think that Ifeel terrib
Do you think that I wanted
to hurt him?
He's my little brother.
I just want to say that
well, I appreciate
that you wanted
to spend time with Noah.
Anyway
(door opens, shuts)
* Hold on
to the way we started *
* How it all should
have gone *
DAVID:
Hey.
Hey.
I, uh
I just wanted to say thank you
for, you know, today.
It's pretty obvious
you're going to be
an amazing doctor.
Just doing my job.
Yeah, well, I've known a lot
of docs in my day, and
most of them didn't care
nearly half as much as you do.
I think you're the one
who cares.
You know?
Seeing you with Noah
like that today
I didn't think you could be
that devoted to someone.
Pretty easy to be devoted
to a kid like Noah.
I mean, it's the other
million things in my life
that's a different story.
You know, David, um
you're obviously smart.
Obviously.
(laughs)
Seriously.
All you have
to do, David,
is decide
what you want to do
with your life
and apply yourself.
Just make sure that,
whatever it is, it's legal.
You should know that that little
hobby of mine, it's over.
Good.
I'm glad.
'Cause it was going to be
really awkward
calling the cops on my neighbor.
Do you want to know
why it's over?
Why?
'Cause I don't want you to ever
look at me the way you did
when you caught me
coming out of that house.
Ever.
I want you to look at me the way
you're looking at me now.
* At least now we know
* It's something
we can't speak of *
* Become
* There's no luck
* In our lives
* No living under starlight
(sighs)
Are you okay?
Did I cross a line?
No, it's it it's not you.
Then, what is it?
I just can't do this.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, so am I.
* Hold on to the
way we started *
