* now in the morning...*
Dixon: this sucks.
Debbie: Dixon, how about a new phrase, like,
uh, "this bites" or "this blows?"
Because you've been saying, "this
sucks," for the last 1,500 miles.
Dixon: 'Cause it sucks.
Harry: Come on. This is gonna be fun!
We got the weather. We got the...
the palm trees with, uh...
Both Harry and Debbie: More palm trees.
Harry: You know, this is gonna be fun.
Dixon: Sucks, bites, blows.
Harry: guys, this is where we are, okay?
Grandma needs us.
She's getting older,
and it's family first.
Besides, your mother and I have
given up a lot for this move, too.
Annie: Really? Uh, have you given up your boyfriend
and the lead in the school play?
Harry: As a matter of fact, I have.
He's heartbroken about it, and so am I.
Annie: you're such a dork!
Dixon: Pop, just don't talk to us
during school hours, all right?
Annie: Yeah, mr. Principal.
* I hear jerusalem bells are ringing *
* roman cavalry choirs are singing *
* for some reason I can't explain *
* I know st peter won't call my name *
* never an honest word *

Annie: Dad, I still can't believe you
grew up in this house.
Dixon: I can't believe you ever left!
Debbie: Well, I can.
Harry: The ship has landed.
Annie: Come on, you can see
britney's house frome here.
Harry: You have been amazing
with this whole change.
Debbie: Well, why wouldn't I be?
I've lived in kansas my entire life.
If I don't try something
new now, when will I?
And besides, they still get married in L.A., Right?
Harry: Yeah.
Debbie: Plenty of weddings for me to shoot.
Harry: Maybe you can shoot mine
when I get my trophy wife.
Debbie: dude, I am your trophy wife.
Tabitha: Annie! Dixon!
Annie: Grandma!
Dixon: You know I seen one of her old movies
on showtime the other night, right?
Annie: She's got a lot of movies on tv.
Dixon: She was naked, full frontal. It's not right.
Annie: race you to the pool.
Debbie: Tabitha.
Tabitha: Hello, dear.
Harry: Mom.
Tabitha: You got me. Iced tea before noon.
Okay, maybe a little
long island iced tea.
Somebody get betty ford on the line.
Harry: I'm just trying to help.
Tabitha: You want to help?
Go yell at the gardener for parking
his crap-wagon in my driveway.
Debbie: Actually, that's our
crap wagon, tabitha.
Tabitha: Well, then park it around the
corner so the neighbors won't notice.
Debbie: this is gonna suck.
*****
Annie: aren't you a little freaked out
starting over at a new school?
And, like, a week late.
Dixon: What are you worried about?
You already got, like,
a boyfriend out here.
That ethan dan dude.
That you made out with a couple summers
ago when you was out here with grandma.
Annie: Okay, one: We did not
make out; it was a kiss.
And he kissed me.
Dixon: Yeah, I bet when he kissed
you, you were all, "Ethan!"
Annie: Shut up! We were not.
Ethan's a really nice guy, but I
haven't talked to him in, like, a year.
And I've got jason now anyway.
Dixon: But still, it's-it's gonna be
a lot easier out here for you.
I mean come on. You're a cute girl.
Dudes are gonna be
throwing themselves at you.
Annie: Oh, please. You had,
like, a million friends.
Dixon: There. Back home and
they all knew, you know?
About the whole adoption story.
Just don't want to have to tell my
story over and over and over again.
Annie: Then don't.
All they need to know is
that you're my brother.
That's my story.

brother of Annie and also the son
of the new principal Harrison Wilson.
I'm Navid. I covered your story.

piece. People, they eat that crap up.
Dixon: Okay.
Navid: Anyway, you can sit right here.
Jeremy's out all week with pink-eye, so
just, uh, watch where you put your hands. So, anyway, I hear you're

There we go. clapping. Yes.
George:Narc.
Ryan: That's real nice, george.
Yet another girl who's
never gonna go out with you. Where are you from, Annie?
Annie: Uh, Wichita, Kansas.
Ryan: Can anybody tell me
the capital of Kansas?
Nobody knows the capital of kansas? Okay, that's great. Uh, all right, who was the little guy
with the one name from, uh, superbad?
Students: Mclovin.
Ryan: Yes. Amazing. Everybody knows Mclovin. Nobody has any clue that
Topeka is the capital of Kansas. Hey, thanks for showing up, Naomi.So glad you could finally join us.
Naomi: I was at the doctor.
George: Gyno.
Naomi: Yes, that's right, George. I was at the gynecologist, who told me
to remind you to keep your vagina clean.
Ryan: All right, well, naomi, why don't you put
some of that eloquence to work this week? This is Annie. She's new here.
Annie: Hi!
Ryan: Figured you might, uh, show her around.
Sort of like a beverly buddy.
Naomi: Uh, will there be anything
else, mr. Matthews?
Ryan: Yeah, if you don't turn that paper in
by tomorrow, I'm gonna give you an "F."

Harry: Look at that hair. I cannot believe that that was us.
That-that's quite a look I had going.
Kelly: Hey, I'm the one who used to think
that flock of seagulls haircut was cool. But then, I was ten.
Harry: Oh, back up, fashion queen. I have pictures of you in
polka dot spandex leggings.
Kelly: See, this is good. I could never talk to the
old principal like this. He was such a wuss. He was completely intimidated
by the board, which you won't be, because you know what
Beverly Hills people are like.
Harry: Exactly why I moved to Kansas.
Kelly: But now you're back.
Harry: Oh, yes, I am. And, miss guidance counselor, I'm hoping that you can enlighten me on how to get my
kids to like me again after I told them we're moving.
Kelly: Well, you could start by
showing them that picture. That'll get them laughing.
Harry: you're gonna be a pain in my ass, aren't you?
Kelly: Oh, yeah.
*****
Girl #1: she's def cute , but,
I mean, her clothes.
Girl #2: She's probably poor. Her dad's a principal.
Annie: Naomi. Hey, uh, you so don't have to worry
about the whole beverly buddy thing. I can find my own way around.
Naomi: Oh, great.
Annie: Yeah, the teacher seemed like
he was punishing you with it.
Naomi: Yeah! Thank you! It's just that he does
that to me all the time, and I have my not-so-sweet
16 party this friday. I'm just stressed to the max. And he's being a big
bitch about the fact that I haven't turned in my book
report on a tale of two cities.
Annie: Oh, I love that book.
Naomi: Good one.
Annie: I did a paper on it last year.
Naomi: Doesn't matter. I'm gonna
get it done next week. I've been telling him that.
He just doesn't listen. My mom's gonna take
care of it, and... ethan! Hi, honey. I was looking all
over for you this morning. Completely got busted by
matthews. where were you?
Ethan: Uh, I, uh, just had some
lacrosse stuff to do.
Naomi: Well, I'm sorry. Ethan, this is Annie, the
new principal's daughter. Annie, my boyfriend Ethan.
Ethan: Yeah, well, actually, yeah,
we-we know each other. Yeah, we...we met, like, two summers ago?
Annie: Yeah, our, uh, grandmothers are friends.
Naomi: Oh, so you've hung out.
Annie: Yeah!
Ethan: Well, I mean...
Annie: uh, just a little.
Ethan: Adrianna!
Annie: Not-not really.
Ethan: Come here. Uh, this is Annie. You
guys should meet, 'cause, uh, She'S... you're into plays, right?
Annie: Yeah.
Naomi: You're into plays? Well, Adrianna's the lead in spring
awakening, our musical here at the school.
Annie: Oh, my god! Really? Oh, I'm so jealous. I love spring awakening. I really wanted to audition,
but I moved here too late. Actually, I had to
leave my play back home.
Adrianna: And what was that?
Flashback Annie on stage:
* I'm very good at integral
and differential calculus *
* I know the scientific
names of beings animaculous *
End flashback.
Annie: It was this, uh, new,
edgy rent-ish thing. Anyway... I'm doing
scenery and stuff now.
Adrianna: Oh, that seems like
the perfect place for you.
Naomi: Well, it was a pleasure, Annie. Ethan?
Ethan: Uh, yeah. We'll see you around,
Annie. It was, uh... we'll talk.
Annie: Great.
Girl #2: They are such an amazing couple.
A teacher: are you lost?
Annie: Completely.

Ethan: So... Hi, how's your day going?
Annie: Apparently not as good as yours.
Ethan: Yeah, listen, I want to explain.
Annie: Uh, you don't need to explain a thing.
Ethan: No, I-I feel like I do. Uh, if you're gonna tell Naomi...
Annie: uh, I'm not gonna tell her. I'm not gonna tell anybody.
Ethan: Wow, that's really cool. Look, I'm not that guy.

Silver: What's this?
Annie: A notebook.
Silver: No, this.
Annie: A division day sticker.
Silver: That's impossible. They
have like eight fans total. Where'd you get the sticker, new kid?
Annie: Brandoflowers put one of their
songs on his celebrity playlist.
And can you get your foot off my notebook
Silver: oh, tough girl. Nice. That's exactly how I found them.
Thank you.
Annie: Have some fries.
Silver: Will do. I'm silver.
Annie: Silver?
Silver: Well, you can call me Erin, but I'm not gonna respond. So, look, I wasn't planning on
making you feel welcome here, but then I saw the sticker, and I thought,
hey, maybe the principal's daughter
isn't such a big loser after all.
Annie: Uh, thanks.
Silver: You'll learn to dig
me-- trust me.
Annie: Yeah.
Naomi: I need you now, pronto. Come on.
Silver: Hey, naomi. Hey, oh if you need some help later
turning those wheel of fortune letters, I can totally carve out some time.
Kelly: Hey, sis.
*****
Annie: What's going on?
Naomi: I'm saiving you. She's out of her mind, and
you should not trust her. She has this web site, and she
makes messed-up videos of people.
Annie: Really? She seemed so nice to me.
Naomi: Yeah, that's her mo. So, listen, Ethan told me how cool you
are and how you're practically like family, so I decided I'm gonna invite you to my
birthday party, my not-so-sweet 16 birthday party. It's this friday it's going
to be the night of your life. What do you say?
Annie: Oh, my god, I'd love to.
Naomi: Of course you would, but you're gonna need
new clothes, so we'll go shopping after school.
*** Principal office:
Mr Clark: I just don't get why this
paper can't wait until next week. Naomi's got a hue birthday party, and I don't
want her all stressed out for it.
Ryan: Come on, man. It's a birthday
party for a spoiled little princess.
Harry: I got it, mr. Matthews.
Tracy: Harry, we've spent a
fortune on this party. Surely, there's something
you can do for us.
Harry: she didn't do the assignment. What am I missing here?
Just have her write
the paper, charlie. Non negotiable.
Mr Clark: I'm taking this up to the board
because you're being ridiculous.
Tracy: Ironic, isn't it, harry? If things had happened differently,
we'd be talking about our kid.
Kelly: Yowza.
Ryan: Wow, a lot going on there, huh?
Harry: I would get back to your class
if I were you, mr. Matthews.
Ryan: See you around.
Harry: Mrs Clark and I went out
for a bit back in high school.
*****
Nat: I'm never gonna learn
to work this machine. Whatever happened to
regular coffee? Willie!
Annie: And you really do that
when you go online?
Naomi: Ethan loves it. I do everything to that boy. I should do more, actually.
He's been a little distant lately.
Annie: Uh, hey, uh, listen, thanks
so much for taking me out.
Naomi: No problem. Hello, I had fun. I just really wish you would've
let me buy you that dress. It looked amazing on you.
Annie: I cannot let you buy me an $800 dress. My dad would...
Naomi: are you kidding me?
Annie: What?
Naomi: My mom just texted me. I have to write
that paper for Matthews by tomorrow.
Annie: How much have you written?
Naomi: I haven't even started yet! Oh, my god, I-I... I
can't do this right now. This is so not what I need I mean, I know
if I just sat down and started writing it, that I could get it done, but thinking
about staring at a blank piece of paper...what am I gonna do?
Annie: Well, I can help. I told you, I got an "A"
on that paper last year, so I can give it to you, and
you can take some ideas from it.
Naomi: Really? that would be so awesome.
Annie: Sure... that way, you can
see what it should look like. I'll just email it to
you when I get home.
Naomi: Oh, my god, you are a lifesaver. Thank you so much.
You're such a good friend.

Tabitha: Did you kick his ass?
Harry: Mom.
Tabitha: What, that's not the first thing you
thought of when you heard he was in a fight? Then, maybe that's why he lost.
Dixon: I didn't lose.
Tabitha: Never worry about being fair. Just grab on to those jewels,
and twist them like a garbage bag.
Harry: Mom!
Tabitha: Okay, okay. I'll let
you kids hash this out.
Dixon: He checked me first.
Harry: You have got
to control your anger. People don't know you here. They're gonna judge you more harshly.
Dixon: I just reacted.
Tabitha: I say it was racially motivated.
Harry: Mom. Look, I'm gonna talk
to your coach tomorrow. We'll get this all worked out.
Debbie: And make sure he's not
too rough on our baby.
Annie: Yeah, 'cause he is
such a delicate flower. So listen, you guys are cool with me going to naomi
Clark's amazing birthday party tomorrow night, right?
Debbie: Well, that was fast-- I mean,
Harry, do you know this girl?
Harry: Yeah, I know her family. You can go.
Annie: Thanks, dad.
Tabitha: Well, I'm going to call Dan

tots aren't to die for.
*** Annie's room
Dixon: Wow!
Annie: You cannot tell anybody.
Dixon: You saw that?
Annie: Oh, I saw that. oh, I saw all of that.
Dixon: Wow!
Annie: The thing is, I totally don't get why
Ethan would cheat on someone like naomi.
Dixon: Believe me... if a dude is cheating on a chick like that,
he doesn't want to be with her anymore.
Annie: But she's so beautiful.
Dixon: That doesn't mean she's not a pain in the ass.

Adrianna: I love that dress.
Naomi: Oh, you know me, Adrianna. Early birthday present
to myself from myself. Aren't I nice?
Ethan: Here, let me, uh... let

get the drinks. Thank you. This is gonna be so much fun.
Text message on Adrianna's phone: Do you have the money yet?
*****
Naomi: Excuse me.
Ryan: How'd you get up here?
Naomi: I could ask the same question about you.
You're just a teacher; didn't the
cover charge eat up your month's salary?
Ryan: You should try applying some of that caustic
wit to your term paper that's due tomorrow.
Naomi: Actually, it's done. I decided it was better
to do it than to fight it.
Ryan: Well, I cannot wait to
read that masterpiece.
Naomi: You know, why are you
always so mean to me?
Ryan: Who says I'm being mean? She's underage. Don't serve her. Oh, I guess that was mean. Oops!
*****
Tracy: welcome wagon.
Later...
Tracy: So, then, Harry... what were we, like 17?
Harry: I don't know. Uh, you know, maybe we should call it...
Tracy: so, then, Harry decides that he wants
to climb on the "H" of the Hollywood sign because he thinks it
looks like a ladder. Well, the whole thing comes crashing
down, and he slides on it for like 50 feet.
Oh, my god, did we laugh. I mean, he's lucky he wasn't killed.
Harry: Well, that was a long time
ago. Can I call you a cab?
Tracy: Oh, I have a better idea. Why don't you drive me home?
Debbie: Ooh, or even better, i could drive you home,
and we could swap stories about harry's penis.
Tracy: I have enough of my own. Thank you. I'll see myself out. Good night.
Debbie: okay, don't you ever give me grief
about dating Morris Kornblum ever again, because that lady is crazy town.
Harry: Well, yeah, in my defense, I was
a teenager. She had a beach house. But morris... he lived
in a teepee; you were 22.
Debbie: Yeah, yeah, let's go see
Annie's dress for tomorrow night. You are not gonna win this one.
**** Upstairs
Debbie: Wow! Who's this hot babe?
Annie: You like it, mom?
Debbie: It's beautiful.
Tabitha: Look at her ass. You could crack an egg on it.
And I say that because, when I was her age,
Ricardo Montalban literally cracked an egg on mine. I won't tell the rest of the
story because I don't remember it.
Debbie: Sweetie, don't you think that this
is just a little less revealing?
Tabitha: Oh, for god's sake, who are
you, Jedidiah the amish farmer? Why don't you go churn us some butter.
Harry: Beautiful.
Debbie: It looks really beautiful.
Annie: I like it.
**** Club
Ethan: The thing is, Dixon didn't
start it; George did. He's just mad the guy's better, but George is all
like, "oh, you have to do this for me, man. Just say he slashed me first and jumped me
and get him kicked off the team instead of me."
Naomi: So, you have to lie for
a guy you don't even like?
Ethan: We're teammates. It's different. Yes,if we weren't on the same team, maybe
I wouldn't hang out with him, but we are.
Naomi: See, that's exactly why I hate lacrosse,
Ethan. You're not like those guys.
Ethan: You're not into anything,
so you don't understand.
Naomi: I'm not into anything? What
is that supposed to mean?
Dixon: Well, not like sports
or music. You shop.
Naomi: You think that's all I'm into?
Ethan: God, we're talking about me, and
then, all of a sudden, it's about you. Just forget it. I'm gonna go home.
Naomi: Ethan, wait. I'm coming with you.
* Shut up and let me go *
* this hurts I told you so *
* for the last time you will kiss my lips *
* now shut up and let me go *
Adrianna stole Naomi's purse, since she forgot it when she left.

Navid: This is Silver's blog,"the vicious circle." And what do you know, half a million hits.
I'm navid, by the way. I produce the blaze news.
Dixon: Yeah, yeah, yeah, ye. um, can you

Navid: Way to block, dude. Thanks.
Silver: Did you guys hear that beverly hills just got invaded?
Yeah, it did. So I got something special for you. Something a little bit
personal. Check it out. Beverly hills sure is nice. Ain't it sweet, all love of mine.
I like being a backstabbing bitch.
******
Naomi: I can't believe someone stole my purse.
Adrianna: Hey, they stole mine, too.
Annie: Hey. Saw the cow video. Funny stuff.
Silver: Thanks.
Annie: I just don't get what I did to make you
so angry that you had to go and do that.
Silver: Gee, I don't know. Maybe dissing me like I was a piece of
garbage to go sit with the bratz hills.
Annie: Okay, first of all, I didn't diss you. Naomi pulled me away.
If I hurt your feelings by sitting with someone you don't like, then I'm sorry.
Silver: It's not that I don't like her. I hate her. Naomi is the antichrist.
Annie: Well, the antichrist didn't trash me in
front of half a million people. You did.
*****
Kelly: So, how'd that go?
Silver: She wasn't so into it.
Kelly: Can you blame her? Silver, how many times have we had
a talk about this blog of yours? All it does is cause problems.
Silver: Yeah, well, that's what this blog's
supposed to do. Cause problems. You know, you can't make me stop. It's not like it's a
school activity or...
Kelly: okay, I'm not talking to you as the guidance counselor right now.
I am talking to you as your sister.
Silver: Okay, then as my sister you know what naomi did and why I hate her.
Kelly: Yes, but this didn't hurt naomi. It hurt annie. Come on. You've got to
let go of that anger. It's not doing you any good. You don't want to end up like mom.
Come on. Please. Just try, please.
Silver: Okay. I'll try.
Kelly: So... how is mom?
Silver: She's fine. You know, she's mom. I gotta go.

Dixon: Ethan. Ethan, when you talk to the coach
today you're gonna tell him the truth, right? You're gonna tell him that
george started it, right?
George: Let's go, ward. Now.
Ethan: Dude, I gotta go.
Dixon: We gotta talk.
**** Principal's office
Ethan: And then Dixon slashed George and... George just reacted
like anyone would have.
Harry: And you saw this?
Ethan: Yeah.
Harry: You understand the consequences if you're lying?
Ethan: Yes.
Ryan: Mr. Wilson, Ethan's never lied to me.
You wouldn't do that, right, Ethan? You wouldn't look me in the eye
and lie to my face, would you?
Ethan: No.
Ryan: All right, well, because of what you just said, I
have no choice but to keep dixon from joingng the team.
We can't have players who start fights. You can go, Ethan.
Ethan leaves.
Harry: That kid is lying.
Ryan: Well, maybe, maybe not. Were you there? I was
and I didn't see it.
Harry: I know my son.
Ryan: Harry, how many times you hear that from parents?
*****
Dixon: And what if dad can't
get me back on the team? I-I mean, I can't tell him this, but
he's, like, the whole reason why I play. Like, he played lacrosse so, you
know, I thought if I played...
Annie: What?
Dixon: When I'm on the field, when he talks to me after
a game, it's like something we have together. That's like our thing.
Like we're really father and son.
Annie: You are really father and son. Don't even say that. It's
been eight years, Dixon. You're us.
Dixon: I... I just really want to play.
*****
Annie: How could you do that to my brother? How could you lie like that?
Ethan: It's-it's not that simple.
Annie: It is! My god, you... you lie. You cheat on your girlfriend.
A girl who, by the way, I like. Do you remember what I told you I
liked about you the first time we met?
Ethan: That I was frighteningly honest.
Annie: Yeah, I guess I'm just wondering what
the hell happened to that guy that I liked from a couple summers ago.
Because this new one is an ass.
*****
Naomi: "but more than a historical snapshot of divisions between classes,
a tale of two cities makes us examine the morality
in our own lives and the true meaning of sacrifice."
Ryan: Thank you, Naomi. That was... that was very well written.
*****
Annie: I can't believe you copied the
whole thing word for word.
Naomi: What did you think I was going to do?
Annie: Not that. Maybe take some ideas, at
least change it around a little.
Naomi: What do you care? It was an old paper, right?
Annie: You should have asked me first. I would have helped you if you
needed it. That's what friends do.
Naomi: You did help me, Annie. You did. I don't know why you're
so hung up on this. Here. It's the dress
you loved from maxfield. I bought it for you, anyway, because that's what friends do.

[Adrianna singing]: * mama, the weeping mama, the angels *
* no sleep in heaven or bethlehem...*
Miss Austin: okay, okay, uh, let's try this again. Let's do the reprise to "mama."
You know, it's feeling a little thin, guys. We need to thicken it up.
The vocals need to be strong, okay?
?: Hey, miss Austin. Why don't you add annie? She's been watching the rehearsal.
I'm sure she knows all the words.
Miss Austin: Well, I think it's a little bit late.
Annie: I-I really do. I really do, miss austin. I've listened to the cd like a billion
times and I've been watching all the steps, so, I think I could really do this.
Miss Austin: Um, okay, uh, let's see what you can do. Grab a mic. Take the
center spot on stage. Okay, let's take it from the top. One, two, three...
* mama who bore me mama who gave me*
* mama, the angels, who made me so sad *
* some pray that one day one day *
* christ will come a-comin' *
* they light a candle and hope that it glows *
* andomome just lie there crying
for him to come and find them *
* but when he comes, they don't know how to go *
* oh...mama.*
Miss Austin: that was excellent, Annie. How would you like to put down
the paintbrush and join the chorus?
Annie: I would so love to. Thank you! Thank you so much.
Miss Austin: It was great. you're welcome. See you tomorrow.
Annie: Dad, I just got to perform. Did you see that? It was... so much fun!
Harry: We need to talk. Why did Naomi Clark turn in your paper?
*****
Harry: Naomi, I'll deal with you after I make a call. Annie, you wait for me here
till the end of the day.
Harry go to his office, leaving the girls.
Naomi: I can't believe you told your daddy
everything. Are you kidding me?
Annie: He recognized the paper. And mr. Matthews could tell, too.
What was I supposed to do?
Naomi: Cry. Threaten him. Be creative.
Annie: You sound like a spoiled brat.
Naomi: Well, you sound like a little bitch. And just so we're clear, you're
completely disinvited to my birthday party.
Annie: 'Cause I care.
Naomi: Oh, you should.
*****
George: Did you see if wilson was crying?
Ethan: Dude, shut up.
George: Dude, don't be such a puss. Who cares about that puss?
Ethan push back George and this one reacts. They start fighting.
*****
Harry: She wants to keep the cheating off her record,
she writes me a new paper on a new book by the end of the day.
Tracy: Well, that's impossible. She can'T.
Ryan: Well, then that kills any chance she has of joining her sister at Yale.
Tracy: She's not going to Yale.
Naomi: What does that mean?
Tracy: Just that you have other interests.
Naomi: I'm just as smart as Jen, mom.
Tracy: Honey, all I meant is that you
have your big party tonight. You have to have your final fitting.
Sweetie, you've been emotional. You've had your purse stolen...
Harry: can you stop making excuses for her?
Naomi, do you hear this? Mr. Mattews doesn't think you can do it;
your mother doesn't think you can do it.
Tracy: Oh, don't talk to my daughter like that.
Harry: I am trying to get her to take
responsibility for her life.
Tracy: Oh, you're one to talk.
Harry: This is about Naomi. And you're being lazy. I think you're smart.
I think you can do it. Come on, naomi. Prove them wrong.
Unless, of course, I'm way off base, and you cheated because you aren't smart
enough and you do need another week.
Tracy: Honey, take another week.
Naomi: I don't need another week! I didn't cheat because I
couldn't write the paper. I'll write the stupid paper
right now, mom. I'll show you...
Tracy: Naomi, you...
Naomi: Mom, could you just... could you just leave?
*****
Silver: So, look, I'm not great at apologies, but I shouldn't have posted that cow video,
and I was hoping that by helping you to get in the play, I don't know, maybe that makes us cool.
Maybe friends.
Annie: Yeah, that'd be great. Ethan, what happened to you?
Ethan: Tell your brother he's back on the team.
***** At home
Annie: Dixon, Dixon. You're back on the team.
Dixon: What?
Annie: Yeah, I know, I wanted to see your face when I told you.
I spoke to Ethan and I guess he told the coach the truth.
Dixon: Oh, man. Ethan is going to kill me when he finds out what I did to get even with him.
Annie: What did you do?
Dixon: I, uh, sent the text to naomi saying that Ethan was cheating on her.
Annie: What? Why? Why would you do that?
Dixon: Look, I'm sorry, all right but I just reacted. I was angry.
Annie: I'm the only one who saw him with that
girl. He's going to think that I... what am i going to do?
What am i going to do?
*****
Debbie: Do you think it's fair that we let Dixon go to the
party after he gets into a fight but we ground Annie?
Harry: Wha-what, we should just let her not have any punishment?
Debbie: No, but it could have started tomorrow.
Harry: Back home, yeah, but here, I just feel like there's so much more
temptation and ways to get into trouble. I feel like we need to be tougher.
I guess I feel like sometimes we bend over backwards for Dixon,
but we don't do the same for annie.
***** Harry et Debbie enter Annie's empty room.
Harry: Annie. Sweetheart? Your mom and I have talked and we've
decided you can go to the party.
Debbie: Annie? That's weird.
Harry: Mom, have you seen Annie?
Annie: Yes, just before she left, and she looked smoking.

* girl gettin' even smaller every day...*
Cory: Hey, Naomi!
Naomi: Cory!
They take photos.
*****
Silver: Maybe Ethan's not even going to be here.
Maybe they broke up already.
Annie: Either way, I have to apologize to him.
Dixon: And plus, if she confronted him already, then,
you know, I'm gonna have to take the rap for it.
Either way, we're going to have to tell him.
Annie: It's just the right thing to do.
Silver: Do you guys go to church or something?
Annie: keep in touch, D.
Dixon: All right.
Navid: There's some good shots right here.
Dixon: Who is tha?
Navid: Not a chance in hell is what you call her.
Just remember, I got you in. You're not a guest. You're my bitch.
Now go get some footage for our story.
Dixon: Bitch? We need to talk about your people skills.
Annie: I can't believe we're crashing Naomi's party.
Silver: What'd I tell you? Lame.
Annie: Okay, let's go find Ethan.
*****
Harry [on the phone]: Debbie, there's like a million kids here. I will never find her.
See you at home.
Tracy: Harry? What are you doing here?
Harry: Long story.
Tracy: We need to talk.
Harry: Okay.
*****
Dixon: Have you guys seen Ethan?
Navid: Dixon. Hey! Your sister is not going to believe this.
Dixon: Really?
Navid: Oh, no, I'm telling you.
*****
Annie: Her purse was stolen?
Navid: Last night at the Pit. Hers and Adrianna's. Wallet, keys, sidekick.
So she never got the text.
Annie: She never got it?
Navid: Never got it.
Annie: She never got it!
Dixon: Thank you, god.
Silver: You really do go to church, don't you?
*****
Adrianna: Hey, sorry I'm late. Look what I got back.
Naomi: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, where did you find it?
Adrianna: The guy from the Pit called me. They found our purses.
Naomi: Where?
Adrianna: I don't know. They just found them.
*****
Tracy: I'm still really angry, Harry.
Harry: I had no idea how to handle it, okay? We were broken up. What
do you want me to say? Do you want me to say I'm sorry?
Tracy: Yes.
Harry: Okay, I am sorry that I freaked out, but that was over 20 years ago,
and besides, I did-- I called to find out about you, and your mother said you'd
gone off to Europe for the year.
Tracy: I didn't go off to Europe for the year and I didn't go to the clinic.
I went away to have our baby. So that he could be adopted. We have a son together.
*****
Mr Clark: okay, please, listen. I just really want to thank
you for coming out tonight and helping us celebrate Naomi's birthday.
Annie: Wait, I thought her sidekick was stolen.
Mr Clark: And, uh, you know, I could rone on, but what I really want to do
is meet the guest of honor, and I can't think of a better way to do that
than for Naomi and Ethan to share a dance, so give it up for the sweetest and
the most beautiful 16 you ever saw, my daughter Naomi Clark.

Silver: Pretty much.
There's a whole world outside of beverly hills.
Annie: is that ethan?
Silver: He's been coming here since eight grades. I told you you would find him here.
Annie joins Ethan.
Annie: Ethan, I am so sorry about everything. I saw what happened.
Ethan: Well, you were right. I have become a complete ass.

Ethan: I don't know. I guess I was...trying to find that guy that
you liked a couple summers ago. But thank you. Annie. We'll talk.
