<p>英文剧本: 奶牛美女 Cow Belles</p>
<p><br />
Cow Belles script</p>
<p>- Hey! - I'm sorry, Miss Callum. No music.</p>
<p>Isn't it one of the rules of the road - the driver controls the radio?</p>
<p>Not during her driver's test.</p>
<p>Make a left.</p>
<p>Perfect, huh?</p>
<p>Wow. Has anybody ever told you you have really amazing eyes?</p>
<p>I'm not just saying that to butter you up, it's true.</p>
<p>You should think about wearing more pastels - light blues, pale greens.</p>
<p>They'd so bring out your eyes and totally work for you.</p>
<p>Oh!</p>
<p>That's Daddy's factory. Isn't it the cutest?</p>
<p>Do you know him? Reed Callum. He's the best.</p>
<p>Absolutely not allowed!</p>
<p>But it's an emergency. It's my sister. Please?</p>
<p>Courtney? Give me the deets.</p>
<p>I found the most perfect dress for my party.</p>
<p>- Only... promise you won't freak. - Hmm?</p>
<p>It's... orange.</p>
<p>- Miss Callum! - One second.</p>
<p>If you do not get off the phone and resume driving,</p>
<p>you'll not get your driver's license.</p>
<p>OK, ask her, is she sure the dress isn't maybe, like, terra cotta or something.</p>
<p>Pretty please? I gave you that nice tip about pastels!</p>
<p>Are you sure it isn't terra cotta?</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm sure.</p>
<p>- It's definitely orange. - Uh...</p>
<p>Tell her she can get the dress if I can wear her Jimmy Choos.</p>
<p>Get the dress. But you have to let her wear your gym shoes.</p>
<p>Goodbye.</p>
<p>Yes! Wrap it up.</p>
<p>Aren't you at all concerned about the price?</p>
<p>Of course I am. How much?</p>
<p>$1000.</p>
<p>Great! It's even sorta, kinda within my budget.</p>
<p>OK, then.</p>
<p>Thing is, me and my sister are best, best friends.</p>
<p>Every year, we divide up colors, favorite actors and fragrances,</p>
<p>so there's nothing to fight about. Isn't that smart?</p>
<p>The reason I'm so cool about the orange thing is because it's her cotillion, her night.</p>
<p>She should completely have whatever she wants.</p>
<p>Oh, Mr. Reeves, if only you could have been there for my party.</p>
<p>Of course, I didn't know you, so I probably would have called security.</p>
<p>Pull into the parking lot.</p>
<p>I'm done? You're not even making me do any yucky three-point turns?</p>
<p>Miss Callum, I take it you're used to getting what you want.</p>
<p>Well, yeah.</p>
<p>The truth of the matter is, while you handled the car quite competently,</p>
<p>you seem to have a very real problem staying focused.</p>
<p>That's what Daddy says, too. Oh...</p>
<p>But it's not something you can flunk me for, right?</p>
<p>Sir, before you do anything rash, let me just say this:</p>
<p>If I don't pass today, I am gonna be back here every possible second,</p>
<p>requesting you and only you, again and again...</p>
<p>and again...</p>
<p>for as totally long as it takes.</p>
<p>On second thought... you pass.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry.</p>
<p>I got you something.</p>
<p>Oh, uh...</p>
<p>- How long we been in business, partner? - 20 years ago today. Is that unreal?</p>
<p>We've done good.</p>
<p>We'd do better if you'd taken the Ketchem deal,</p>
<p>but you're Mr. Slow and Steady and I've learned to live with that.</p>
<p>- Good. There's more to life than money. - True, but look what money can buy.</p>
<p>What's that?</p>
<p>How long have you talked about trying to make time to get back to your hobby?</p>
<p>Since way before the girls were born. Why?</p>
<p>What photo would make your collection complete?</p>
<p>The gold-spotted skipper, the most elusive butterfly of all.</p>
<p>But one which can often be found in the Ecuadorian rain forest</p>
<p>at the end of the rainy season. Right? Go ahead, open it.</p>
<p>What is this?</p>
<p>What is...?</p>
<p>Is this for real? Are you...?</p>
<p>No, wait, wait. l-l-I...</p>
<p>I can't just up and leave, Bob. This Monday?</p>
<p>Yes, you can.</p>
<p>Look, I'll handle things at work. Trust me.</p>
<p>When the stars align, you gotta go for it.</p>
<p>No. Courtney's party - I can't be gone for that.</p>
<p>Sure you can.</p>
<p>You're the only guy I know</p>
<p>who belongs to a country club he's never been to. Courtney knows it's not your style.</p>
<p>Do you actually think she'll even notice if you're not there? She's a teenage girl.</p>
<p>&quot;Daddy&quot; is the last thing on her mind.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>- You did this for me? - Who deserves it more, pal?</p>
<p>What can I say? Thank you, Bob. It's much appreciated.</p>
<p>My pleasure.</p>
<p>What the heck?</p>
<p>Hey, congratulations!</p>
<p>What is this?</p>
<p>Isn't it fabulous, Daddy? Can you believe I passed?</p>
<p>Where's Corrine? I thought she drove you to the test.</p>
<p>She did. We dropped her at the market. Don't worry. We gave her cab fare.</p>
<p>You expect her to take a taxi home with all those groceries?</p>
<p>Oh, no.</p>
<p>I'm sorry. I never thought about that part.</p>
<p>I was so excited to give you the good news. Should I go back and get her?</p>
<p>No. I'm sure she's probably already on her way home.</p>
<p>I'm really sorry. It won't ever happen again, I promise.</p>
<p>- But isn't the sign adorable? - They sell those at the DMV now?</p>
<p>No, silly. She ordered it last week, just in case. Custom-made and only 200 bucks!</p>
<p>Courtney can have it for when she gets her license. I used our frequent-shoppers card,</p>
<p>which, with the 12% discount and the 4.95 cash rebate, means it only really cost...</p>
<p>- $171.05 - Yeah, what she said!</p>
<p>- A bargain. - In their world, it is.</p>
<p>OK, now...</p>
<p>Ready for this?</p>
<p>You did not get me a car?</p>
<p>For me? Really?</p>
<p>- What is it? - A genuine classic.</p>
<p>Wait. Doesn't &quot;classic&quot; just mean old?</p>
<p>- And used? - Yeah?</p>
<p>It's so cute. Oh!</p>
<p>It's exactly like the one Mom's driving in the old pictures.</p>
<p>It is your mother's old car. I had Ralph down at the dairy return it to mint condition.</p>
<p>Daddy, that's so hot and totally special.</p>
<p>- Thank you. - You're welcome.</p>
<p>Let's take her for a cruise!</p>
<p>Hang on there, hot shot. This car's a stick shift.</p>
<p>A stick? Ew.</p>
<p>So before you grind through the gears</p>
<p>of a brand-new transmission, I worked out a deal with a friend.</p>
<p>He's gonna teach you on a vehicle that's not quite so... delicate.</p>
<p>Look, son, in all the years Reed Callum has been our number one milk buyer,</p>
<p>he's never once asked me for a favor.</p>
<p>Exactly my point. He didn't ask me, he asked you.</p>
<p>You're the one's gonna teach his daughter to drive a stick.</p>
<p>That's not fair! Why should I let her wreck my truck?</p>
<p>Because I bought you that truck to help me out,</p>
<p>which is what you'll be doing by keeping Mr. Callum happy.</p>
<p>You don't understand, Dad. Taylor Callum is a spoiled, stuck-up, condescending...</p>
<p>Wow. &quot;Condescending.&quot; Big word for a farm boy.</p>
<p>Miss Callum. We didn't know you were here.</p>
<p>Obviously.</p>
<p>- Please excuse my boy. He can be... - Unkind? Judgmental?</p>
<p>In desperate need of a long, hot shower?</p>
<p>Here, hold her a second.</p>
<p>Ew! Ugh!</p>
<p>Why'd you do that? I was gonna take her to get her inoculation.</p>
<p>Excuse me, do I look like a pig-holding kind of girl?</p>
<p>Don't worry, Jackson. I'll deal with Nanette. You start the driving lesson.</p>
<p>Dad, come on.</p>
<p>Let's go.</p>
<p>I told you, first is up and to the left. What's the problem?</p>
<p>I'm trying, OK? Quit hollering.</p>
<p>Good. Now ease off the clutch and give it some gas.</p>
<p>OK.</p>
<p>Sorry. This is hopeless.</p>
<p>Yeah, that's the trouble with people like you.</p>
<p>People like me?</p>
<p>Yeah. Rich, pampered chicks that glide through life without a clue.</p>
<p>Do you have any idea what it means to actually work at something?</p>
<p>You're mean.</p>
<p>Look, can we just... Can we just try this again?</p>
<p>Start her up and put in the clutch.</p>
<p>Wow! I did it.</p>
<p>Hallelujah! Now ease off the clutch and give it some gas.</p>
<p>I've got it, Jackson!</p>
<p>See what happens when you try?</p>
<p>- Wait, stop the truck. - What?</p>
<p>- I need to check on Martha. - Martha who?</p>
<p>Stay here.</p>
<p>- Is she sick? - Pregnant.</p>
<p>Due any day. I'm trying to make sure everything's OK.</p>
<p>Thought I told you to wait in the truck.</p>
<p>You're not the boss of me.</p>
<p>Did you at least put on the parking brake?</p>
<p>Oh, no!</p>
<p>Stop, please!</p>
<p>I can't believe...! It's my truck!</p>
<p>Wha...?</p>
<p>Jackson... I'm so, so sorry.</p>
<p>I killed your truck. How could I do that?</p>
<p>Look... I know it wasn't on purpose.</p>
<p>But it's so horrible. I'm a terrible person. But don't worry, though, OK?</p>
<p>Daddy will totally pay to haul it out of there and get it fixed.</p>
<p>It's gonna cost me how much?</p>
<p>800 for the recovery and 2000 for the repairs?</p>
<p>But you can use my discount card. Then it'll only be 2450 total.</p>
<p>All because you didn't set the parking brake?</p>
<p>I'm sorry, Daddy, really.</p>
<p>What can I say? It was all my fault. But you're the one who made me go there!</p>
<p>Jackson Meade is the last boy I'd ever be hanging out with.</p>
<p>- He is kinda cute. - Ya think?</p>
<p>- Awesome smile. - Good hair.</p>
<p>- Totally hot. - Girls!</p>
<p>You both seem to think I've got a money tree in the backyard.</p>
<p>Your carelessness, your spending - it's gotta stop.</p>
<p>When you say the spending's gotta stop, you don't mean stop stop, right?</p>
<p>'Cause pulling back, we can definitely do, but cut us off completely, we might die.</p>
<p>I'm so glad you're doing this.</p>
<p>Hasn't it been forever since you've taken a real vacation?</p>
<p>Longer, I think.</p>
<p>Hey, Court.</p>
<p>You're OK with me not being at your party?</p>
<p>Totally. I know you think the whole thing's silly.</p>
<p>If you were there, I'd have to make you dance with me... in front of everybody.</p>
<p>Ew, yeah. That wouldn't be so pretty.</p>
<p>I pinky promise - I've warned the other girls -</p>
<p>even though it won't be easy, I'll stick to your budget.</p>
<p>$ 25,000, not one single penny more!</p>
<p>Deal.</p>
<p>Darn it. I can navigate a computer better than a bunch of geeks,</p>
<p>but I can't work this stupid can opener!</p>
<p>- Um, Court? - Yes.</p>
<p>You might wanna try plugging it in.</p>
<p>Oh.</p>
<p>Don't you hate Corrine's day off?</p>
<p>Shoppers Anonymous.</p>
<p>Hold on. She's right here. Heather.</p>
<p>Where are you? For real?</p>
<p>That is so amazing. Plus what?</p>
<p>No way! OK, it's too good to be true.</p>
<p>Do not move. We're out the door.</p>
<p>We've gotta go, now.</p>
<p>Heather's at Tivanello's and she found the perfect tangerine slides for my dress.</p>
<p>- Plus... - What?</p>
<p>She says, just this second, they got in two dozen pairs of the short boots</p>
<p>you've combed the city for in lavender and baby blue!</p>
<p>- Why are we still here? - Grab your credit card. I'll get my phone.</p>
<p>Jackson must be one great teacher, Tay. You're driving this car like an old pro.</p>
<p>Tr閟 impressive. non?</p>
<p>Oh, no.</p>
<p>This... You...</p>
<p>I... Uhh!</p>
<p>I just really don't know where I failed.</p>
<p>- Nowhere. You're perfect. - The absolute best.</p>
<p>I'm not talking about me, girls, I'm talking about you two.</p>
<p>We know. We're total screw-ups and we couldn't be sorrier.</p>
<p>- What can we do? - We can't go on like this.</p>
<p>This kitchen was your mother's favorite room.</p>
<p>She created our most popular recipes here. Something's gotta change.</p>
<p>I've done nothing to teach you anything about responsibility.</p>
<p>That's not true. We always put our clothes in the hamper.</p>
<p>- I separate my colors from the whites. - Yeah.</p>
<p>I'm talking about reaching a little higher, ladies.</p>
<p>- We could take out the trash once a week. - Twice, if that's what you want.</p>
<p>No. I've come to a decision.</p>
<p>Uh-oh.</p>
<p>- This sounds bad. - You're canceling our personal trainer?</p>
<p>I'm insisting you take a summer job.</p>
<p>You're teasing, right?</p>
<p>I really don't think he is, girls. This is very serious business.</p>
<p>It's settled. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, you report to work at the dairy.</p>
<p>But my cotillion's next Saturday.</p>
<p>I'm the only girl that doesn't have a date.</p>
<p>Who am I supposed to do the Spotlight Dance with?</p>
<p>You don't understand. There's a million details we have to handle. I can't work.</p>
<p>You can and you will. Your shift is from seven to three.</p>
<p>You can party-plan afterwards.</p>
<p>Seven... in the morning?</p>
<p>That's earlier than school!</p>
<p>Don't do this. We won't spend anything or go anywhere! We'll become social rejects!</p>
<p>I've cancelled your credit cards and revoked your allowance.</p>
<p>You girls are finally gonna learn what it means to earn what you want.</p>
<p>Good morning. River City!</p>
<p>Shake off those cobwebs. wipe the sleep from your eyes. It's five...</p>
<p>Uhh!</p>
<p>Ahh, stop! I can't take it.</p>
<p>- Rise and shine, working girls. - Turn off the light.</p>
<p>Let's go. I got a plane to catch and you have to report to duty.</p>
<p>- If the sun isn't up, why should we be? - Yeah.</p>
<p>Nobody ever said that reality was pretty.</p>
<p>- Aah! - Ow!</p>
<p>Dads.</p>
<p>Remember, where I'm headed is so remote, there's no cell service.</p>
<p>Ach, why even live?</p>
<p>My point is, I can't be checking up on you,</p>
<p>so I need you guys to promise me that everything is gonna go OK.</p>
<p>Of course it will, Daddy.</p>
<p>We won't embarrass you, we promise.</p>
<p>Who knows? You might even like working.</p>
<p>You might find it interesting.</p>
<p>OK, all right, OK. Just... Just try to behave, OK?</p>
<p>Make a good impression. Make me proud.</p>
<p>Will you quit worrying? They have to love us. We're the boss's daughters.</p>
<p>Yeah. OK. Bye, girls.</p>
<p>- Love you. - Love you, too.</p>
<p>- Remember, blinker, blinker. - Yeah, we got it, Dad.</p>
<p>- Up to the left. - Seatbelts on.</p>
<p>- Love you. - Love you, too.</p>
<p>- Whoo-hoo! - Whoa!</p>
<p>- Knock, knock! - Morning, Uncle Bob.</p>
<p>Girls! You're right on time.</p>
<p>Just give me one quick second.</p>
<p>There.</p>
<p>So... Bet you never figured it would come to this.</p>
<p>Isn't it so cruel of Daddy?</p>
<p>You know, he's only doing what he thinks is best.</p>
<p>Did he get off to the airport OK?</p>
<p>He's way excited. That was really nice of you.</p>
<p>Hey, what are friends for?</p>
<p>Anyway, it's Fran Walker, our production supervisor, you'll be reporting to.</p>
<p>So let's track her down and get you to work.</p>
<p>- What a great picture of Mom. - She was something, your mother.</p>
<p>The power behind the throne.</p>
<p>Look at you, all grown up and ready to follow in her footsteps.</p>
<p>- We're here 'cause Daddy's forcing us. - We're complete disasters in the kitchen.</p>
<p>Not like Mom at all.</p>
<p>We hope you'll let us work in an office, answering phones, making coffee.</p>
<p>- Working people love coffee, right? - Mm-hmm.</p>
<p>She's being way modest, but Courtney's a computer geek.</p>
<p>Like, if you need supplies, online shopping is her specialty.</p>
<p>Taylor's a total math-head. She can figure out sale prices better than anybody.</p>
<p>Oh, stop.</p>
<p>Your father was very specific about wanting you here on the production line.</p>
<p>Please, no. Not that.</p>
<p>We'll start you off with something simple.</p>
<p>- But, over there? - Mm-hmm.</p>
<p>- Like them? - Yeah.</p>
<p>Wearing that?</p>
<p>Mm-hmm.</p>
<p>OK.</p>
<p>Honestly, I wish you knew how hilarious you look.</p>
<p>- Like you look any better. - Except I can't see me, so who cares?</p>
<p>What are you doing?</p>
<p>I am so gonna send a picture to Jackson Meade.</p>
<p>- Courtney, gimme that! - No!</p>
<p>No!</p>
<p>Uh-oh.</p>
<p>Now look what you did!</p>
<p>Taylor, just get it! Do something!</p>
<p>- Stop the presses. - What?</p>
<p>My sister's phone kinda accidentally flew into one of your tubs.</p>
<p>A phone? Which tub?</p>
<p>We don't know. We lost track.</p>
<p>Well, this is great. What are we supposed to do, scrap the whole run?</p>
<p>How could you two be so careless?</p>
<p>We're sorry. We're new at this. It's not like we meant to cause trouble.</p>
<p>- It was a simple mistake. - Yeah, a costly and stupid mistake.</p>
<p>Hold on, Mr. Whatever-Your-Last-Name-Is.</p>
<p>You can't call Daddy. He's out of cell range, remember?</p>
<p>But you're not.</p>
<p>Hello? Why call me? I'm right here.</p>
<p>Hm.</p>
<p>Problem solved.</p>
<p>Ew.</p>
<p>And how do you suppose I make up for the four minutes of lost production time?</p>
<p>My phone!</p>
<p>Can you control the speed of the machine?</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>OK. Then, if you ramp it up by 15 seconds for 16 minutes,</p>
<p>then you'll regain your lost time and be back on schedule! Yeah.</p>
<p>Yeah, what she said.</p>
<p>This is coming out of your pay. Back to work.</p>
<p>Wait, no. That's backwards.</p>
<p>Come on!</p>
<p>Oh.</p>
<p>'K, this one's not good.</p>
<p>Oh! Ick.</p>
<p>Finally, quitting time. Oh, yeah.</p>
<p>Hate to break it to you, sis - it's only lunch.</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>I am not happy right now!</p>
<p>Oh.</p>
<p>Oh.</p>
<p>Hm.</p>
<p>This is a tad awkward.</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>Just smile and wave and maybe they won't hurt us.</p>
<p>- Hi. - Hi.</p>
<p>All because of one dropped cell phone. These people seriously need to lighten up.</p>
<p>Courtney, Taylor! What are you doing here?</p>
<p>Mr. Perez! Heather didn't tell you? Daddy sent us to work.</p>
<p>Ah...</p>
<p>Guess that explains this morning's production slowdown.</p>
<p>- You heard? - Everybody heard.</p>
<p>- Life in a small company - no secrets. - Oh!</p>
<p>- Where are your lunches? - There isn't a caterer?</p>
<p>Well, until you can take that up with your father, you'll have to rely on our machines.</p>
<p>- Gross. - Ew.</p>
<p>Gina and I can't wait for the party. We're flattered you included us.</p>
<p>Are you kidding? You guys are like my second parents.</p>
<p>- Heather says it's gonna be great. - If I ever get a date.</p>
<p>- You still haven't asked anybody? - Like who?</p>
<p>- Bye. - Au revoir.</p>
<p>How about him?</p>
<p>- Who's that? - His name is Philippe.</p>
<p>An exchange student from France living with the Millers for a year.</p>
<p>Your dad got him an internship for the summer.</p>
<p>Huh.</p>
<p>Good ol' Dad.</p>
<p>What are you doing? Go after him!</p>
<p>Make up for this lousy lunch by having a French pastry for dessert.</p>
<p>Taylor! I can't. What if he doesn't like me? What if he says no?</p>
<p>It's all too terrifying and potentially humiliating. I can't move.</p>
<p>Oh, yeah! It's Monday, I forgot.</p>
<p>You're gonna love this. This is one of your dad's ideas called &quot;Homemade Jams.&quot;</p>
<p># Early in the mornin', risin' and shine</p>
<p># Joinin' my friends in the workin' line</p>
<p># Might be tired, but we don't pull blame</p>
<p># Got a lot to do today</p>
<p># And we're bound to be a family</p>
<p># And we're bound to call this home</p>
<p># Happy to be right here, you see</p>
<p># Workin' at the creamery</p>
<p># Creams to curdle and butter to churn</p>
<p># Surrounded by cattle everywhere I turn</p>
<p># Hope they're right when they say it won't hurt</p>
<p># Livin' on nothin' but yogurt</p>
<p># Well, we're bound to be a family</p>
<p># And we're bound to call this home</p>
<p># We're happy to be right here, you see</p>
<p># Together at the creamery</p>
<p>All right, if anybody wants to come up and join us, now is your chance.</p>
<p>Ooh! Me and my sister are really good singers! Can we do backup?</p>
<p>Thanks anyway, but this band's for real working folk.</p>
<p>You'd be better off joining the Pretenders.</p>
<p>It's so rude, the way everybody's acting like they're not watching us but they so are.</p>
<p>Just waiting for us to mess up again.</p>
<p>Yeah! Would it be so hard to be supportive? We're trying our best.</p>
<p>Maybe if we moved a bit faster.</p>
<p>Like it's not hard enough?</p>
<p>Come on, Court, let's show 'em what the Callum girls are made of.</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>Oh!</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Sorry, our bad.</p>
<p>Honest mistake. Point us to the mops and we'll clean up.</p>
<p>- Good blueberries, though. Yeah. - What she said.</p>
<p>I... Um...</p>
<p>No, don't go.</p>
<p>Little help?</p>
<p>Somebody? Anyone?</p>
<p>Get shoe... Shoe...</p>
<p>OK.</p>
<p>Yay!</p>
<p>I cannot wait to tell Corrine we did our own laundry!</p>
<p>- I'm taking this for proof. - Court?</p>
<p>- Yeah? - Put it down.</p>
<p>'K.</p>
<p>- There you go, Joyce. - Thanks, Melvin.</p>
<p>Peter Palmer. This should get you one step closer to that new patio.</p>
<p>Not this week. This one's going towards my daughter's braces.</p>
<p>- Good one. - Do you have one for us?</p>
<p>Well, if it isn't the Callum sisters! Don't you look beautiful?</p>
<p>Thanks, Melvin. You, too. So how much do we get for one whole day?</p>
<p>Believe it or not, my darlings, you don't get paid unless you work an entire week.</p>
<p>That's no fair. How am I supposed to buy nail polish and bubble bath?</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>By putting that pretty little nose to the grindstone and keeping it there.</p>
<p>That would really hurt.</p>
<p>And you'd totally end up looking like a pug dog.</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>'Night, Melvin! I'm so happy to see you're still around.</p>
<p>There he is!</p>
<p>What are you doing here? Slumming?</p>
<p>&quot;Gliding through life without a clue.&quot;</p>
<p>- Actually, we were working. - We made it through one whole day.</p>
<p>I guess miracles never cease.</p>
<p>Daddy left me the check for your truck. Would you like me to bring it over later?</p>
<p>Or I can come by and get it.</p>
<p>That's OK. I was kinda hoping to see how Martha's doing.</p>
<p>Really?</p>
<p>How about I come over around seven?</p>
<p>That'll work.</p>
<p>I'll see you then.</p>
<p>OK.</p>
<p>Come on.</p>
<p>If it wasn't for your dad, I don't know what we'd have done.</p>
<p>- Everybody else was so harsh. - Is it our fault Daddy owns the place?</p>
<p>I saw an adorable French guy in the lunchroom.</p>
<p>He's an exchange student living with the Millers.</p>
<p>- She wants him to be her party date. - Is Richie Miller invited to your party?</p>
<p>Why would he be? He's hardly the cotillion type.</p>
<p>- Then it's perfect! - What?</p>
<p>After dinner, we'll take Richie an invitation. We'll say it got lost in the mail.</p>
<p>He'll mention Frenchie, we'll act all surprised and invite him!</p>
<p>- Heather, that's brilliant. - I know!</p>
<p>- Wanna come? - I can't.</p>
<p>She's gonna see Jackson. He's gonna be your boyfriend.</p>
<p>- Really? He's hot. - And way in love with my sister.</p>

<p>The post office messed up and your invite came back, which made me feel awful.</p>
<p>I'm sure you were hurt, thinking...</p>
<p>To be honest, I didn't even know there was gonna be a party.</p>
<p>Oh!</p>
<p>But you wanna come? Everybody's gonna be there.</p>
<p>- Everyone. - Will there be video games?</p>
<p>Richie, it's a dance party, with tons of beautiful girls like us.</p>
<p>Oh.</p>
<p>If it make you feel more comfortable, you could bring someone.</p>
<p>- Like a friend, a foreign exchange student. - If you happen to have one.</p>
<p>- I do! He's from France. - You're kidding!</p>
<p>Is he here? Should we ask him now?</p>
<p>He's upstairs. Why don't I go see what he thinks?</p>
<p>- Nice. - Yes.</p>
<p>Wow. So, this is my first American...</p>
<p>How you call it?</p>
<p>&quot;How you call it?&quot; Isn't that darling?</p>
<p>It's a cotillion, a kind of coming-out party.</p>
<p>Coming out of what?</p>
<p>Philippe, you're so funny!</p>
<p>So will you come and be Courtney's date?</p>
<p>It would... please me much... to attend.</p>
<p>Thank you, Philippe. I'm thrilled.</p>
<p>Look for me at work tomorrow, OK? Oh...</p>
<p>We're glad you're coming, too. See you there.</p>
<p>Bye.</p>
<p>Good morning. River City! Can you believe it? It's 5:30...</p>
<p>Oh, no! Jackson!</p>
<p>It's time for a beautiful brand-new morning.</p>
<p>Did you say something?</p>
<p>Jackson - I stood him up.</p>
<p>I blew it.</p>
<p>I'll bet he hates my guts.</p>
<p>And the really bad news is... we have to go to work again.</p>
<p>Your favorite hits from the '70s. '80s and '90s.</p>
<p>- You're not listening. Our checks bounced. - All of them.</p>
<p>But that just can't be.</p>
<p>My books have always been unimpeachable.</p>
<p>Why do you think that I've never relied on the computer monkey business?</p>
<p>Because I always make them out by hand so they're absolutely perfect.</p>
<p>- I think the banks would beg to differ. - Well, I'm not responsible...</p>
<p>- Maybe they know something. - Where's your father?</p>
<p>- Why did our checks bounce? - Wait, shh. Please, please. Quiet. Um...</p>
<p>- We seem to be broke. - What?</p>
<p>Daddy ran out of money? Oh, there's no possible way.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there is a way.</p>
<p>I just got off the phone with Nelson Partridge at the bank.</p>
<p>Apparently your father took more than luggage on his trip.</p>
<p>Our company account is completely wiped out.</p>
<p>- There's no money? - He didn't do anything bad. He couldn't.</p>
<p>- He wouldn't. - I'd never believe it, but the money's gone.</p>
<p>There has to be an explanation. I've known Reed over 20 years.</p>
<p>This is not something he's capable of.</p>
<p>He's done everything he can to make this a great place to work.</p>
<p>I've been here since the very beginning and I can assure all of you</p>
<p>that Reed Callum is a true humanitarian.</p>
<p>Before we jump to terrible, damaging conclusions,</p>
<p>maybe the best thing I can do is get on a plane and try to track him down.</p>
<p>What are we supposed to do in the meantime?</p>
<p>If I'm not paid, I'm not working.</p>
<p>No. We have to keep working or we'll miss our delivery deadlines.</p>
<p>Please, just for today.</p>
<p>We owe Mr. Callum that much until we get this straightened out.</p>
<p>Daddy would never rip you guys off. He loves this place and he loves all of you.</p>
<p>Which is why we need to get back to work at once!</p>
<p>No!</p>
<p>Ugh! Oh, no!</p>
<p>Oh, dear!</p>
<p>Look at you!</p>
<p>- Sorry. So sorry. - Stay right there.</p>
<p>Just stay there.</p>
<p>This is terrible. Everybody's freaking out, Daddy's gone, his money's gone.</p>
<p>- Are we gonna be poor? - Bite your tongue!</p>
<p>We just have to hope Uncle Bob can track him down and get to the bottom of this.</p>
<p>Do you think Bob's left yet? I want him to tell Daddy how much we believe in him.</p>
<p>Come on, let's go see.</p>
<p>That's weird. He left.</p>
<p>Why's this in the trash?</p>
<p>And all broken.</p>
<p>Do you think Uncle Bob flipped out 'cause he actually believes Daddy's a crook?</p>
<p>Or what if it's Uncle Bob who's the crook? Think about it, Court.</p>
<p>What if that's how come he gave Dad a generous trip?</p>
<p>- To get him out of the way and set him up! - That's so evil.</p>
<p>I know. But listen, we're positive Daddy didn't take the money</p>
<p>and yet it's gone, so who else could be a logical suspect?</p>
<p>What are we gonna do?</p>
<p>Girls. This is an unexpected surprise.</p>
<p>Come on in. Courtney and Taylor Callum, this is Keith, my husband.</p>
<p>- Hi. - He works the night shift at the dairy.</p>
<p>- Hello, girls. - Hi, Keith.</p>
<p>We're sorry to barge in on you like this, Fran.</p>
<p>But look.</p>
<p>Oh.</p>
<p>Should this mean something to me?</p>
<p>Daddy gave that picture to Bob as a gift last week.</p>
<p>Only we found it in Bob's trash in his office with the glass smashed.</p>
<p>Taylor thought, what if it's Bob who took the money? I agree!</p>
<p>I'd buy that. Something about this guy always seemed a bit off to me.</p>
<p>Like making us call him &quot;Uncle&quot; when we're not even related.</p>
<p>Yeah, right.</p>
<p>It's no secret Bob was furious when your dad wouldn't sell the dairy.</p>
<p>Sell the dairy?</p>
<p>Old Man Ketchem wanted to buy us out, convert to a fully-automated plant like his.</p>
<p>Your dad wouldn't hear of it 'cause we'd be out of work.</p>
<p>I knew Daddy was a good guy.</p>
<p>In my opinion, Bob never got over missing out on that bag of cash.</p>
<p>So what do we do now?</p>
<p>Why don't you stay for dinner and we'll talk about it?</p>
<p>- We're making pizza. - We don't want to intrude.</p>
<p>- You won't intrude. We'll put you to work. - Yeah.</p>
<p>OK.</p>
<p>- He's such a show-off, isn't he? - You're just jealous.</p>
<p>Who knew cooking could be so fun?</p>
<p>Take my advice, girls. Marry someone who loves to cook.</p>
<p>Whoa!</p>
<p>- What are we doing, feeding an army? - This one's for an elderly neighbor.</p>
<p>- That's so sweet. - It's just the neighborly thing to do.</p>
<p>Whoo!</p>
<p>I am not eating that!</p>
<p>We have to get our flowers from the Gilded Lily.</p>
<p>Everybody knows they do the most gorgeous arrangements in town.</p>
<p>Yeah, but they're also twice as expensive as everybody else.</p>
<p>Well, duh! What do you think makes them the best?</p>
<p>OK. If we spend $10,000 on flowers,</p>
<p>we can have the balloon arch or the ice sculpture, but we can't afford both.</p>
<p>Aw, bummer.</p>
<p>Let's be practical. The ice sculpture will melt.</p>
<p>But it's so classic! It's our signature thing. We need it.</p>
<p>What if we cut out the seafood appetizer bar?</p>
<p>That's the most original thing on our menu. Everybody will love it!</p>
<p>Obviously, we're just gonna have to ask our dads for more money.</p>
<p>Haven't they been clear? We have to work in our budget. They're not giving us more.</p>
<p>This is unfair. Why does everything have to cost so much?</p>
<p>Sarah insists we must have steak and lobster. What's wrong with chicken?</p>
<p>This isn't some stupid business banquet. Chicken's a tacky no-no.</p>
<p>Seriously! I mean, if we're not gonna top last year's girls, why even do this at all?</p>
<p>- Exactly. - Hmph!</p>
<p>Maybe we're not figuring it out right. Gimme the numbers. I'll talk to Taylor.</p>
<p>- She's like Rain Man with math. - Plus she's been through this already.</p>
<p>I'll bet she can tell us what we're doing wrong.</p>
<p>See? It's impossible. When did the world get to be so expensive?</p>
<p>I've got a feeling it's always been this way, Court.</p>
<p>We're just finally being forced to pay attention.</p>
<p>Whoever came up with &quot;ignorance is bliss&quot; was really onto something.</p>
<p>Speaking of that, after being at Fran's tonight, I was thinking...</p>
<p>Uh-oh. This can't be good.</p>
<p>With everything going on at the dairy and Daddy being out of reach,</p>
<p>doesn't it feel like it's sort of up to us to try to fix this mess?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Court... you saw how it is.</p>
<p>People like Fran and Keith totally depend on Dad for... their life.</p>
<p>Can we seriously sit back and let it all fall apart?</p>
<p>Talor, hello. I thought we were talking about my party problems.</p>
<p>Well... in a weird way, we are.</p>
<p>I think we should use your party allowance to cover the dairy workers' salaries.</p>
<p>You got me so good. For a second, I thought you were serious.</p>
<p>I am.</p>
<p>Have you totally lost it? I can't do that.</p>
<p>The girls and I are splitting all costs, the way it's always done.</p>
<p>If I can't contribute, how can I be part of it?</p>
<p>I guess you can't. I'm really sorry, but this is totally a family emergency.</p>
<p>It's not my emergency.</p>
<p>It's fine for you to be noble, you already had your most amazing cotillion.</p>
<p>Now it's my turn.</p>
<p>My chance to shine. It's really mean of you to try to take that away.</p>
<p>All right, OK? Calm down. It was only a suggestion.</p>
<p>We'll have to figure out another way to help.</p>
<p>Exactly. Thank you for coming to your senses.</p>
<p>Oh, no!</p>
<p>I still have to deal with Jackson.</p>
<p>Meade Dairy Farms. Uh, yeah.</p>
<p>Whom may I say is calling? Yeah.</p>
<p>Hold on a minute. I'll get him. It's Taylor Callum, for you.</p>
<p>I'm not here.</p>
<p>He says he's not here.</p>
<p>All right. She's says she's sorry she didn't make it by last night. She'd like to explain.</p>
<p>I'm not interested, OK? Just tell her to put the check in the mail.</p>
<p>Uh, Taylor.</p>
<p>He had to run off to the bathroom. Um...</p>
<p>OK.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'll tell him. OK, bye.</p>
<p>We're asking everybody to report to the lunchroom for a meeting. Melvin?</p>
<p>It won't take long. Hi.</p>
<p>Look, we will find a solution.</p>
<p>Trouble is, all our products are perishable. A shutdown is something we can't afford.</p>
<p>How long do you think we should work without pay?</p>
<p>Do you think my landlord cares if our inventory goes bad?</p>
<p>He wants to know when I'm gonna pay the rent!</p>
<p>The reality is, most of us live paycheck to paycheck. I'm as loyal as anyone,</p>
<p>but if there's no future here, we wanna know that now.</p>
<p>Of course there's a future! It's just gonna require some patience.</p>
<p>Please, it's just... Look, I know we will find an answer to this problem.</p>
<p>Do me a huge favor? I left my cell phone in the car.</p>
<p>So?</p>
<p>So I need to see if Jackson called so I can call him back.</p>
<p>- Please go get it for me. - Why can't you?</p>
<p>Because, unlike some people, I'm actually listening to what's going on.</p>
<p>- Please, Court? Please? - Fine, but you owe me.</p>
<p>- Thanks, sis. You're a doll. - Whatev.</p>
<p>I know, we're all in this together, though.</p>
<p>- We're trying, people... - Uh...</p>
<p>- Excuse me. - Shh!</p>
<p>- Everybody! Excuse me. - Shh!</p>
<p>Um... hi.</p>
<p>I know the situation is way terrible and scary but I, um...</p>
<p>See, I was wondering if I could fix it so there was money for your paychecks.</p>
<p>Shh! Quiet. Quiet, please.</p>
<p>Please, let her finish.</p>
<p>If I could do that, would you keep on working until my dad gets back?</p>
<p>Maybe, yeah. But come on, you're a kid.</p>
<p>Even you can't have that kind of cash laying around.</p>
<p>I don't. But I think I can get it.</p>
<p>How? By selling your solid-gold sports car?</p>
<p>Or auctioning off your collection of designer handbags?</p>
<p>Since when do you care what happens to us?</p>
<p>Can I say what I was trying to say?</p>
<p>Why? So we can make more sacrifices to support your lifestyle?</p>
<p>We don't need your pity, honey, we need answers!</p>
<p>Don't pretend to relate to us. You can't.</p>
<p>Please! If you'll all go back to your jobs and give me till the end of the day.</p>
<p>What if we don't trust you?</p>
<p>You'd never work here if your father didn't force you.</p>
<p>Let's get real. You and your sister are nothing but a pair of spoiled brats.</p>
<p>You're right...</p>
<p>about all of it.</p>
<p>But maybe that's why I'm trying to change.</p>
<p>- Philippe! Hey. - Bonjour. Courtney. How are you?</p>
<p>I can't believe it's the first time we've seen each other. I've been looking for you.</p>
<p>For most of the day, Ralph and I, we're on the road.</p>
<p>Delivery guys. Kinda goes with the turf, you know?</p>
<p>- You're still coming to my party, right? - Cannot wait.</p>
<p>There's one thing I should have mentioned the other night.</p>
<p>See, since you said you'd be my... my date, there's this...</p>
<p>One big tradition at these parties is a special deal called the Spotlight Dance.</p>
<p>As in, all eyes are on the girls being celebrated?</p>
<p>Exactly. The four honorees and their dates, out there in front of everybody.</p>
<p>- Is that something you'd be cool with? - Why I would not be?</p>
<p>It can be a bit embarrassing.</p>
<p>That is the beauty of being a foreigner.</p>
<p>Everybody is a stranger, so who care what they think?</p>
<p>If you need for me to dance with you, I dance.</p>
<p>Great. Thanks.</p>
<p>Bye!</p>
<p>All right, Romeo, get in the truck.</p>
<p>Hm.</p>
<p>What am I to do? I need to make my rent.</p>
<p>I know. We all do. This is just a temporary situation, OK?</p>
<p>Fran, do you know where my sister is?</p>
<p>- She and Melvin had to run an errand. - Oh, thanks.</p>
<p>Don't worry, I promise you....</p>
<p>- Thanks, ma'am. We're all done? - Mm-hmm.</p>
<p>Here you go. Isn't it pretty?</p>
<p>- Are you sure you want to do this? - Totally.</p>
<p>You're a good girl, Taylor.</p>
<p>Excuse me, folks.</p>
<p>If I could just have your attention for a minute.</p>
<p>Due to the remarkable generosity of our very own Taylor Callum...</p>
<p>- And my sister Courtney. - Yeah.</p>
<p>...the current payroll has been guaranteed.</p>
<p>- All right! - Whoo!</p>
<p>Melvin will be handing out your reissued checks at the end of your shift.</p>
<p>And, well, hopefully, this will tide us over until Reed gets back. Thanks.</p>
<p>- Joyce. - Thank you.</p>
<p>- Taylor, talk to me. - Not here.</p>
<p>- Where did that money come from? - We shouldn't talk about it till we're home.</p>
<p>l-I don't get it. How could you do this to me?</p>
<p>Courtney, I'm so, so sorry. We really didn't have any other choice.</p>
<p>Yes, we did. It's my party budget, my money!</p>
<p>The only reason Daddy put your name on the account</p>
<p>is because you're better at bank math. You promised you weren't gonna touch it.</p>
<p>I know. But then we got to work.</p>
<p>You heard them. If the dairy goes under, they might lose their houses.</p>
<p>Their kids won't get to go to college. It's serious stuff they're dealing with.</p>
<p>Yeah, but we're only kids.</p>
<p>Why should it be up to us to fix everybody's problems?</p>
<p>Do you seriously even understand half the stuff they're talking about?</p>
<p>No. Not totally.</p>
<p>But I know we have some sort of a duty there.</p>
<p>Maybe you do.</p>
<p>My duty is to show up at work and stay out of trouble like Daddy wanted.</p>
<p>If you knew what was good for you, that's what you'd do.</p>
<p>Look, I'll bet you can still be a part of the party.</p>
<p>- We'll talk to the other girls, compromise. - Yeah, right.</p>
<p>Sarah Van Dyke was dying to kick me out for suggesting we switch to chicken.</p>
<p>- What if I explained the situation? - You've done enough damage.</p>
<p>I think this is what you wanted all along.</p>
<p>If my party's wrecked, everybody remembers yours as the best.</p>
<p>Courtney, that's not true. How could you even think that?</p>
<p>I'm never speaking to you again!</p>
<p>Courtney, come on! Courtney!</p>
<p>Don't talk to me, you horrible traitor! Go away!</p>
<p>- What do you want? - I brought you your check.</p>
<p>I told you to mail it.</p>
<p>Jackson...</p>
<p>The other night, I wanted to come over...</p>
<p>But I fell asleep. The whole working thing wiped me out.</p>
<p>Considering how foreign it must be, I'm surprised your body didn't go into shock.</p>
<p>Who knows? Maybe it did.</p>
<p>They're saying my truck's gonna be ready day after tomorrow. How sweet is that?</p>
<p>What are you doing?</p>
<p>What's wrong?</p>
<p>Everything!</p>
<p>My father's company's broke. Half the people think he did horrible, terrible things.</p>
<p>We've got no way to reach him.</p>
<p>My one attempt to help ended up with my sister thinking I'm an evil, devious witch.</p>
<p>- Now she's not even speaking to me. - Sounds bad.</p>
<p>Wanna know the most pathetic part?</p>
<p>The only person I could come up with to unload on thinks I'm a spoiled brat.</p>
<p>A condescending spoiled brat.</p>
<p>Right.</p>
<p>Jackson? Jackson! Come quick, I need you. Martha's getting ready to calf.</p>
<p>Let's go.</p>
<p>I don't know what's wrong. It was moving along, then it just stopped.</p>
<p>- But her water bag broke, right? - About ten minutes ago.</p>
<p>- I think she's distracted. - What?</p>
<p>By that bull. She keeps eyeing him like she'd prefer a little privacy.</p>
<p>Taylor, cows aren't like people.</p>
<p>Says you.</p>
<p>Name one female in the universe who'd want to be on display going through this.</p>
<p>Shoo!</p>
<p>Get out of here! Shoo! Shoo!</p>
<p>Get out of here. Give poor mama cow a break.</p>
<p>Hmph!</p>
<p>OK.</p>
<p>There, that's better, huh?</p>
<p>Now you can push your little baby out with some dignity.</p>
<p>- She's doing it. She's pushing. - Yeah. Here we go.</p>
<p>That's my good cow.</p>
<p>OK, OK. Here it comes.</p>
<p>OK, OK. Here it comes. Here it comes.</p>
<p>Ha!</p>
<p>Check it out.</p>
<p>Well done, Martha.</p>
<p>It's a girl, just like we were hoping for.</p>
<p>Look how cute she is.</p>
<p>- Good job. - Oh...</p>
<p>She's so sweet.</p>
<p>Welcome to the world, little one. Oh!</p>
<p>I have to admit, I'm amazed how great you were with Martha.</p>
<p>What can I say? We totally bonded.</p>
<p>I never would have predicted that in a million years.</p>
<p>You should get to know a person before you make judgments.</p>
<p>Sort of the way you did with me?</p>
<p>Sort of how we both did.</p>
<p>Good morning. River City!</p>
<p>Shake off those cobwebs. wipe the sleep from your eyes. It's 5:30 in the morning!</p>
<p>Courtney, I know you're mad but, please? We can still try to work out the party thing.</p>
<p>You've got the most important stuff - your date, your fabulous dress...</p>
<p>- Too bad I don't have a sister. - Come on, can't we talk about this?</p>
<p>No. You're not worthy. You can't talk about my dress, you can't talk about Philippe.</p>
<p>You're not even allowed to say the date anymore!</p>
<p>For the rest of your ugly life, I want July 10 totally stricken from your vocabulary.</p>
<p>What are you doing? That beeping means you have to reset the expiration date.</p>
<p>Don't worry about it, Thomas. I'm on it.</p>
<p>Expiration date reset.</p>
<p>You are never gonna believe what's happening now.</p>
<p>- The new checks didn't bounce... - No.</p>
<p>But I heard that yesterday, the storage silo refrigeration system shut down.</p>
<p>All our milk's gone bad.</p>
<p>- Shouldn't someone have monitored that? - Bob Fenwick. It was his job.</p>
<p>But he was too busy robbing the company. He didn't have time for anything else.</p>
<p>It was Bob, not Reed, who took the money?</p>
<p>Think about it, Thomas. Who always had our best interests at heart and who didn't?</p>
<p>Folks, let's focus on the present. Without milk, or the money to pay for more,</p>
<p>we can't fill any of the orders we have.</p>
<p>So what do we do?</p>
<p>We don't have a choice. We finish the cycle we're in and shut down.</p>
<p>What happens to our accounts awaiting deliveries this weekend?</p>
<p>I'll just have to start making some phone calls and hopefully, they'll understand.</p>
<p>- This is a disaster. - Oh, yeah.</p>
<p>Two or three weeks without work, I won't keep up with my mortgage payments.</p>
<p>We have no idea how we're gonna send Charlie back to college this fall.</p>
<p>Wait, what if I talked to Jackson Meade?</p>
<p>Maybe his dad could give us milk on credit for a few days.</p>
<p>Our world doesn't work like that. Credit's a luxury nobody in this industry can afford.</p>
<p>Sarah, I still have $5000.</p>
<p>If we all make a few sacrifices and compromise, I'm sure we can work this out.</p>
<p>Excuse me, is this a cotillion or a charity event?</p>
<p>What do you expect me to do, pull money out of thin air? I'm not a magician.</p>
<p>I'd cry for you, but I don't want my mascara to run.</p>
<p>We have to pay the caterer and the country club tonight.</p>
<p>If you can't deliver your full share, then it breaks my heart to tell you, but you're out.</p>
<p>Love you!</p>
<p>I don't want that color.</p>
<p>Well, I can at least ask, right? If he says no, he says no, and we'll go from there.</p>
<p>Congratulations! You win.</p>
<p>I've officially been kicked out of my own party. You must be thrilled.</p>
<p>I've gotta go.</p>
<p>Whoa.</p>
<p>What's the deal?</p>
<p>It's done,it's over. According to Sarah, me minus my money equals bye-bye!</p>
<p>OK, I'm really sorry, but have you not been listening to anything this morning?</p>
<p>It's only getting worse and worse.</p>
<p>We've got all these great people with their entire futures at stake.</p>
<p>Without the cash to replace the spoiled milk, everybody's gonna lose their jobs.</p>
<p>And, I'm sorry, this became my responsibility... when?</p>
<p>You know, for once in your life,</p>
<p>it might be nice to spend two seconds thinking about somebody else!</p>
<p>Why should I? I hate this place. I don't care what Daddy wanted! I quit, OK?</p>
<p>Taylor, that's not something I can even ask my father.</p>
<p>How come?</p>
<p>Look, my dad's a really good man - too good. He'll help anybody in trouble.</p>
<p>But that's no way to keep a small farm like ours in business.</p>
<p>If we take on one more dollar of debt, it's gonna crush us.</p>
<p>Can I say one thing?</p>
<p>Living in the real world stinks.</p>
<p>Heather, stop wiggling so I can get this pinned.</p>
<p>Oh, no. Hide me.</p>
<p>- It's just Courtney. - Exactly.</p>
<p>Hello?</p>
<p>Hey, honey, come on in.</p>
<p>- How come you're not at work? - Long story.</p>
<p>How do you like her party dress?</p>
<p>I thought you found something fabulous at Holly's.</p>
<p>I did. We can't afford it.</p>
<p>Who cares? This is gonna be even better. It's perfect.</p>
<p>That's exactly what I told her!</p>
<p>- Mom, could you give us a minute? - Um...</p>
<p>I'll go get you girls some iced tea.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>You weren't supposed to see any of this.</p>
<p>- It's so humiliating. - What's the big deal?</p>
<p>Are you kidding? You with your &quot;designer&quot; this and &quot;couture&quot; that.</p>
<p>Who cares? It's not like we're in competition.</p>
<p>Maybe it doesn't feel like that to you. You get everything you want.</p>
<p>It's hard for me, Courtney. It always has been.</p>
<p>I love you, but, come on, do you ever stop to think about anyone but yourself?</p>
<p>- Oh, no. - What?</p>
<p>That's exactly what Taylor said. Am I really that bad?</p>
<p>Well, yeah, but why wouldn't you be? Your whole life's been a total fairy tale.</p>
<p>How are you supposed to have a clue about reality?</p>
<p>That doesn't mean I deserve to act like some spoiled princess.</p>
<p>Who am I? Sarah? Yuck!</p>
<p>No, Court.</p>
<p>Underneath, you're a really good person.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>But... I think it's time for me to do better than that.</p>
<p>You're home early.</p>
<p>Anything we need to talk about?</p>
<p>I miss Mom.</p>
<p>It doesn't seem fair, does it?</p>
<p>She just always knew the right thing to say. Whenever me and Taylor were fighting,</p>
<p>she was the only one who could get us back together.</p>
<p>She was that way with everybody.</p>
<p>Your father used to call her his secret weapon.</p>
<p>And you know why? Because she had compassion and she had perspective.</p>
<p>She knew better than anybody that her good life was just a happy accident.</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>- Do you want some yogurt? - Sure.</p>
<p>Your mom's recipe. Best one.</p>
<p>I'm afraid we've come at this from every possible angle</p>
<p>and quite frankly, there's no money, no milk.</p>
<p>We're out of options.</p>
<p>Unless...</p>
<p>Back in a flash!</p>
<p>- Hey, Ralph. - Hey, what's up?</p>
<p>Well, um...</p>
<p>My dad told me how much fun you had restoring my mom's old Mustang,</p>
<p>so I was wondering, do you wanna buy it?</p>
<p>What? I thought you were crazy about that car.</p>
<p>I am. But considering the latest nightmare here, I'm desperate for extra cash,</p>
<p>and selling my car is the only solution I can think of.</p>
<p>Honestly, Taylor, as much as I'd love to get my hands on that baby,</p>
<p>it's just not anything I can afford.</p>
<p>Please, Ralph. You have no idea how important this is.</p>
<p>Yeah, I get that.</p>
<p>All I got is nine grand.</p>
<p>I'll take it.</p>
<p>Awesome!</p>
<p>Here you go, Jackson. This is a down payment.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>I can't believe you sold your car.</p>
<p>Me neither.</p>
<p>It really doesn't feel like I had a choice.</p>
<p>Taylor! I'm so glad you're home.</p>
<p>Wait, you're actually speaking to me?</p>
<p>Heather's dad said the only reason the dairy's not closing</p>
<p>is 'cause you sold your car to get money to buy fresh milk.</p>
<p>That's just a nasty rumor, right?</p>
<p>Well, I just took the bus home. What does that tell you?</p>
<p>But you can't sell your car. It's not right.</p>
<p>Just tell me what I can do to help.</p>
<p>Too late. You'd be better off putting your time and energy into your party.</p>
<p>Sarah and those girls don't care about me. All they wanted was my money.</p>
<p>Why would I even want to be a part of their stupid party?</p>
<p>Especially if I lose what I have with you.</p>
<p>- Are you serious? - Yeah.</p>
<p>Maybe we can use the rest of my party budget to help us out.</p>
<p>Sure.</p>
<p>But, even with your 5000, we're still 1000 short on the milk money.</p>
<p>I think I have an idea. Come on!</p>
<p>Since I haven't even worn it yet, I'd like a full refund, please.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>I had no idea doing the right thing could be so painful.</p>
<p>- Hello? - Bonjour, Courtney. it's Philippe.</p>
<p>I know it is last minute, but I was wondering,</p>
<p>since we have this so-called Dance of the Spotlight on Saturday,</p>
<p>would you like to have dinner and practice with me tonight at the country club?</p>
<p>The Millers invited you to be their guest.</p>
<p>Uh, well, um...</p>
<p>See, Philippe, I actually need to talk to you about that.</p>
<p>- Something is wrong? - Very. I, uh...</p>
<p>As it turns out, I'm not gonna be a part of the cotillion.</p>
<p>I, um... dropped out.</p>
<p>That is even more reason for you to come with me.</p>
<p>If Saturday is not working, we'll create our own spotlight to celebrate you tonight.</p>
<p>- Great. - Bye.</p>
<p>Bye.</p>
<p>It was so nice of you to invite me. This is really fun.</p>
<p>It was all Philippe's idea. He's quite taken with you, Courtney.</p>
<p>I'm blushing, aren't I? How embarrassing is that?</p>
<p>- We should dance, no? - We should dance, yes!</p>
<p>Will you excuse us?</p>
<p>As long as nobody's making me dance, you're completely excused.</p>
<p>Wow. You really know what you're doing.</p>
<p>I should. My parents put me in lessons since I was ten.</p>
<p>Oh, no.</p>
<p>So it's true. Weston said he thought he saw you here tonight.</p>
<p>Given your desperate cries of poverty, I'm amazed you can afford dinner.</p>
<p>I'm a guest... of the Millers. May I help you with something?</p>
<p>Speaking of guests, it's only fair to tell you,</p>
<p>we left word for the people on your list letting them know they're dis-invited.</p>
<p>It was Sarah's idea. It was the only way we could make up the budget deficit.</p>
<p>In case you care, turns out we're gonna end up with every single thing we wanted,</p>
<p>despite that you nearly sabotaged the event.</p>
<p>We convinced our dads to kick in the extra dollars</p>
<p>and all it cost us was a half an hour of crocodile tears.</p>
<p>- You must be so proud. - Crab legs, oyster bar, steak, lobster,</p>
<p>the balloon arch, the ice sculpture...</p>
<p>Seems like the only thing that won't be there is... you.</p>
<p>- Try not to be too heartbroken, Sarah. - I won't.</p>
<p>If you'll excuse us, Philippe and I have a dance to finish.</p>
<p>Twirl me, Philippe. Twirl me now.</p>
<p>Hey. Hi. What are you doing here?</p>
<p>Judging by how you seemed buying the milk, I thought you could use cheering up.</p>
<p>Come on in.</p>
<p>So, explain to me this.</p>
<p>If those are the kind of girls involved in this... cotillion,</p>
<p>why you wanted to be part of it in the first place?</p>
<p>Wow, Philippe.</p>
<p>I honestly wish I could tell you.</p>
<p>I guess because it all looked so glamorous and cool when Taylor did it.</p>
<p>Maybe that's the problem.</p>
<p>I've spent so long trying to be my sister, now I just need to be me.</p>
<p>- Did you make a speech? - Yeah.</p>
<p>What did you say?</p>
<p>Well. you know . just the kind of things...</p>
<p>You know what's so crazy about this whole ordeal?</p>
<p>It's sure given me a new appreciation for my dad.</p>
<p>I'll bet.</p>
<p>The way he makes it all look so easy -</p>
<p>running the dairy, taking care of me and Courtney...</p>
<p>He never even complains.</p>
<p>I sure wish he'd get home already.</p>
<p>Well, not right this second...</p>
<p>'cause then I wouldn't have the nerve to do this.</p>
<p>Popcorn?</p>
<p>How's it going, girls?</p>
<p>Great. We're getting the hang of this gig.</p>
<p>Well, that's good.</p>
<p>Uh, listen, I was wondering, are you two busy tomorrow night?</p>
<p>Not anymore.</p>
<p>Keith and I are having a &quot;we can't believe we survived this awful week&quot; party</p>
<p>and we'd love it if you could be there.</p>
<p>Sounds fun.</p>
<p>The dairy band's gonna play, everybody's bringing food...</p>
<p>- We're happy to bring sodas and cups. - Excellent. My place, 7 pm.</p>
<p>'K!</p>
<p># She couldn't sing to save her soul didn't know a thing on the keys</p>
<p># She headed to the valley, got a job at the creamery</p>
<p># The girls made her welcome and told her what to know</p>
<p># About milk and cheese and real ice cream, until the cows came home</p>
<p># Now she's in the promised land 'cause she followed the beat of the band</p>
<p>Thank you. Thank you.</p>
<p>Before we sing the next song, I just wanted to say that, thanks to you all,</p>
<p>we're still in business.</p>
<p>And we couldn't have done it without the amazing financial</p>
<p>and moral support of the Callum girls.</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>Some of you may not know this, but tonight was supposed to be Courtney's cotillion.</p>
<p>Who cares? I'd much rather be here with all of you!</p>
<p>Fair enough.</p>
<p>But after everything you've done, you should get to have your Spotlight Dance.</p>
<p>- You ready? - Yeah.</p>
<p>OK.</p>
<p>A-one, two, a-one, two, three.</p>
<p>Folks, folks! Sorry to interrupt.</p>
<p>We've got an emergency.</p>
<p>I don't understand. How could all the products we made this week be expired?</p>
<p>That's the point. They're not.</p>
<p>Somewhere, the date stamp was incorrectly set.</p>
<p>The first two accounts I stopped at tonight refused delivery. Yogurt, cheese - all of it.</p>
<p>Couldn't you explain it was a mistake?</p>
<p>It's not that easy. Who is gonna wanna buy something they think has gone bad?</p>
<p>Couldn't we put new lids on with the right date?</p>
<p>Health Code regulations prohibit a product from being sold once it's been resealed.</p>
<p>We'd have to start a whole new run from scratch or lose at least 14 major accounts.</p>
<p>How could this have happened?</p>
<p>It was me.</p>
<p>The day when I was mad at you about getting exiled from my party.</p>
<p>That's the date I must have accidentally set.</p>
<p>Expiration date reset.</p>
<p>Today. The whole entire dairy is gonna crash and burn because of me.</p>
<p>Whoa, whoa.</p>
<p>But we can salvage this, right?</p>
<p>What if we started the run right now? We're all here. We could all pitch in.</p>
<p>Except for the fact that we're almost out of milk again.</p>
<p>I could fix that.</p>
<p>- Dad, no. How can we afford it? - We can't afford not to help.</p>
<p>If the dairy goes belly-up, we lose their business and half our income.</p>
<p>So let's get moving.</p>
<p>Not so fast!</p>
<p>Even if everybody works, we don't have the manpower for an all-inventory run.</p>
<p>We'd have to get machines going double-time,</p>
<p>we'd need people unloading and reloading the fleet of trucks....</p>
<p>Unless you've got 25 extra bodies, it's impossible.</p>
<p>He's right. Simply wanting to make it happen is not enough.</p>
<p>Hold on. I know where we can get more volunteers.</p>
<p>Get down to the dairy and get started. Taylor and I will meet you there soon.</p>
<p>Let's go.</p>
<p># I don't wanna grow up</p>
<p># Don't wanna figure this out</p>
<p># I know you set me up</p>
<p># Don't want this dragging you down</p>
<p># I don't wanna grow up</p>
<p># Don't wanna figure this out</p>
<p># I know you set me up</p>
<p># Don't want this dragging you down Don't want this dragging you down</p>
<p># Don't want to figure out</p>
<p># Don't wanna see you around</p>
<p># One more time</p>
<p>- Sorry to interrupt. Can I borrow your mic? - Yeah.</p>
<p>What do you think you're doing? You're not welcome here.</p>
<p>I know. But I'm desperate.</p>
<p>So what else is new?</p>
<p>Um... Hi.</p>
<p>You guys, can you please listen a minute?</p>
<p>I know I have no right to ask this, but my father's dairy is in horrible trouble.</p>
<p>If we don't get extra help, a lot of wonderful, hardworking people will lose their jobs.</p>
<p>And we care... why?</p>
<p>- Because you should. - Hmph.</p>
<p>Because we're all part of the same community.</p>
<p>Look, until a few days ago... I was just like all of you.</p>
<p>I didn't know, I didn't care.</p>
<p>But I've learned stuff. Everybody in this room is so lucky.</p>
<p>And it's just an accident of birth. We have no clue what most people are up against.</p>
<p>But it's not too late to learn. It feels really good to help other people.</p>
<p>It's an amazing rush to give something back.</p>
<p>That's good, because you know what you can give back? The microphone!</p>
<p>Sarah, no! There's more to life than balloon arches and ice sculptures.</p>
<p>- Give it back! - No, give it back to me!</p>
<p>No! I want it now! Sarah, give me the microphone!</p>
<p>The dessert parade!</p>
<p>Oh, cr閙e brul閑.</p>
<p>OK, everybody. I need you to bring this in.</p>
<p>OK.</p>
<p>- OK. - There's one.</p>
<p>All right.</p>
<p>All right, good job, guys.</p>
<p>I don't get it. How could I have failed?</p>
<p>You didn't. You were awesome. I would have followed you anywhere.</p>
<p>Because you're not a pathetic Sarah clone. Did you see those zombies?</p>
<p>Inhale, exhale. Even without those losers, there has to be a way we can get this done.</p>
<p>Where are your friends?</p>
<p>Lost in their own little worlds.</p>
<p>- So they're not coming? - No.</p>
<p>It's over.</p>
<p>So what do we do now?</p>
<p>I'm afraid we have to send everyone home. OK, guys. Shut it down.</p>
<p>Let's power down.</p>
<p>Did I hear this place could use a little help?</p>
<p>Daddy!</p>
<p>You're here! You're home!</p>
<p>With a whole group of your friends to pitch in, too.</p>
<p>But you, with them... How?</p>
<p>I was on my trip, missing you two, realizing where I really wanted to be was home,</p>
<p>so I came back.</p>
<p>When I went to look for you at the club, this whole crew pounced on me.</p>
<p>After you left, we were all, like, &quot;Wow, what Courtney said was so right.</p>
<p>We have to get outside ourselves and help people.&quot;</p>
<p>And then your sweet dad showed up, so confused and out of the loop.</p>
<p>We gave him the headlines, and here we are, reporting for duty.</p>
<p>- Let's get busy here. - Let's get back to work.</p>
<p>Come on.</p>
<p># Wake up every morning from your alarm clock warning</p>
<p># Take the 8:15 into the city</p>
<p># There's a whistle up above and people pushin'. people shovin'</p>
<p># And the girls who try to look pretty</p>
<p># And if your train's on time. you can get to work by nine</p>
<p># And start your slaving job to get your pay</p>
<p># If you ever get annoyed. look at me. I'm self-employed</p>
<p># I love to work at nothing all day</p>
<p># And I'll be taking care of business. every day</p>
<p># Taking care of business. every way</p>
<p># I've been taking care of business. it's all mine</p>
<p># Taking care of business and working overtime</p>
<p># Work out</p>
<p># Takin' care of business</p>
<p># Takin' care of business. my way. yeah</p>
<p># Takin' care of business</p>
<p>Well, troops, against all odds, we pulled this off.</p>
<p>I don't know how I'll ever be able to thank you enough.</p>
<p>Tomorrow I'll figure out how much damage Bob Fenwick did.</p>
<p>But tonight, I want you to know, as long as I'm in business, every one of you has a job.</p>
<p>You're the best!</p>
<p>To my own Taylor and Courtney...</p>
<p>Thank you, girls... from the bottom of my heart.</p>
<p>You really came through when it mattered the most.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Now, before I send you all home for a well-earned sleep,</p>
<p>I'm told there's still one last thing we have to do, so...</p>
<p>Courtney, Philippe,</p>
<p>it's time for your spotlight dance.</p>
<p># I believe you can shine</p>
<p># If you have to grab the stars</p>
<p># Right out of the sky</p>
<p># Don't look back</p>
<p># Close your eyes</p>
<p># Sometimes you have to see it from your heart to get it right</p>
<p># Sooner or later when the dust has cleared</p>
<p># The sun comes out, you're still here</p>
<p># Look at what you've found</p>
<p># Figure it out, it's simple when you think about it</p>
<p># Who you are inside</p>
<p># Let it out</p>
<p># Everything you wanna be is coming around</p>
<p># It's all good now</p>
<p># It all works out</p>
<p># You'll see it all</p>
<p># Comes down</p>
<p># To taking chances, living life</p>
<p># Just in time to get it right</p>
<p># Sooner or later when the dust has cleared</p>
<p># The sun comes out, you're still here</p>
<p># Look at what you've found</p>
<p># It's all good now</p>
<p>How's it going?</p>
<p>Well, we'll survive.... barely.</p>
<p>- It's really that bad? - Yep.</p>
<p>Money's gone. It's basically like we're starting over.</p>
<p>I'm so sorry, Daddy. How could he do that? You were his best friend!</p>
<p>Greed's a funny thing, girls.</p>
<p>Has a way of getting the best of some people.</p>
<p>It's all so evil.</p>
<p>We're definitely in for some serious belt-tightening around here.</p>
<p>No vacations, no more country clubs, no shopping sprees.</p>
<p>It's gonna be OK. We can do this.</p>
<p>For sure.</p>
<p>But we can still buy new school shoes, right?</p>
<p>Just one pair each?</p>
<p>What?</p>
<p>We'll see.</p>
<p>- OK... - Be strong, Court.</p>
<p>- Yeah. - Be strong.</p>
<p>It's OK.</p>
<p>- Thanks for breakfast. - No girls this morning?</p>
<p>I snuck into their rooms and shut off their alarms.</p>
<p>All things considered, I figure they deserve a few days off.</p>
<p>I'm gonna grab my briefcase and I'm outta here. Have a good day.</p>
<p>Bye-bye.</p>
<p>- Girls? - Hey, Daddy.</p>
<p>Just the guy we were about to look for.</p>
<p>What are you doing? I was gonna let you sleep in.</p>
<p>- Sleep in? No way. - OK, what's going on?</p>
<p>- You're not gonna believe what we found. - Not &quot;we,&quot; &quot;you.&quot;</p>
<p>I don't know how she does it, but before we ever left the dairy,</p>
<p>Courtney got into Bob's computer and retrieved his hard drive. Genius!</p>
<p>I found his plane reservations for two to the Cayman Islands.</p>
<p>And I found out where he's staying. Check this out.</p>
<p>- Live on streaming video! - Oh, man!</p>
<p>I'm doing an auto save so you can turn it over to the FBI.</p>
<p>Nice job, ladies.</p>
<p>I'm gonna call them as soon as I get to work.</p>
<p>Wait! You can't go without us! Just give us two seconds to change.</p>
<p>- Don't you want to get some sleep? - Are you kidding?</p>
<p>If we're at the dairy, that's eight hours we can't be at the mall.</p>
<p>That's a very good point. Let's go.</p>
<p># Figure it out. it's simple when you think about it</p>
<p># Who you are inside</p>
<p># Let it out</p>
<p># Everything you wanna be is coming around</p>
<p># It's all good now</p>
<p># I've been there</p>
<p># Once or twice</p>
<p># Wish that it were easy to cruise through this life</p>
<p># Movin' fast</p>
<p># Sparks can fly</p>
<p># Sometimes you go to pieces</p>
<p># Just before you get it right</p>
<p># Sooner or later when the dust has cleared</p>
<p># The sun comes out. you're still here</p>
<p># Look at what you've found</p>
<p># Figure it out. it's simple when you think about it</p>
<p># Who you are inside</p>
<p># Let it out</p>
<p># Everything you wanna be is coming around</p>
<p># It's all good now</p>
