Second half of episode #65 transcription

Mila and Nancy in Mila's room. Nancy is demonstrating a cheer for Mila, who is lying on her bed.
Nancy: (dancing with pom poms) Digga digga raw potata, half past aligata, ram, ram, bullawigga, chickawada... (raises pom poms over her head) Swans, Swans, ra, ra, ra... (jumps)
Mila: That was very nice.
Nancy: Mila, cheerleaders don't say, "Yes team, that was very nice." They say, "Wound, maim, kill!"
Mila: Oh. Wound, maim, kill.
Nancy: You'll never make the squad looking so depressed.
Mila: I can't help it. How can I cheer when it's all I can do to get through this party tonight? And it's my last with Garrett.
Nancy: You can't get through it if you don't get to it. (walks away)
Mila: I guess. (gets up from bed)

Sydney is sitting at the vanity in her bedroom brushing her hair. Mayor Rutledge walks in room.
Mayor: Sydney, you'll be late to your own party.
Sydney: (laughs) Right. Okay. (pulls her hair behind her head) Now, down or back?
Mayor: What?
Sydney: My hair! I've got to make a splash tonight.
Mayor: Does it matter? (pulls Sydney's hair back) You look beautiful either way.
Sydney: (laughs) I think you've been in politics too long.
Mayor: Maybe. (pauses) Look, I'll be at your party later, okay? Have fun.
Sydney: I'll try! (continues to play with her hair)
Mayor: When you're young is definitely the time to have it.
The Mayor frowns in the mirror while Sydney grins.

Garrett is standing on the Booth porch. Glory enters.
Glory: Boy. You and dad were really going at it. What did he say?
Garrett: (sighs) Why do parents pretend to be reasonable when they know that they're not gonna listen to a word you say?
Glory: Garrett, what did he say?
Garrett: He said there's no point in me starting school Monday if I'm shipping off to France in a week and a half.
Glory: Oh. I'm sorry.
Garrett: Did you tell Mila I was gonna meet her at the party?
Glory: Uh-huh. And I told J.T. I'd meet him there a little later, too.
Garrett: Why?
Glory: Well, I thought you might want some company after a fight like that.
Garrett: (turns around and smiles at her) Thanks.
Glory: You know, I'm really gonna miss you if you go away.
Garrett: I'll try to miss you, too.
Glory: (swats at him angrily) Garrett!
Garrett: Just joking! (reaches over to hug Glory) You are the best sister a guy could have.

The Swan Club pool. Saja and Sandy are at the food table.
Sandy: I finished my song.
Saja: (picking up burgers and putting them on his plate) Ah, yes. The song that begins with the Vulcan mindmeld. (pauses) You want one? (picks up another burger)
Sandy: Actually, I've given up meat. You inspired me.
Saja: Oh! (pauses and glances at Callie) Thanks. No one's said that to me in a long time. (looks back at Callie)

Owen almost falls into the pool while using his video camcorder but Neil snags his shirt and pulls him away in time. Jimmy and Callie are watching him.
Jimmy: Talk about going overboard. Look what he's filming.
Callie: (laughs) Yeah, he's dedicated.
Jimmy: What could possibly interest Barek in those tapes?
Callie: I don't know. But don't get wet because as soon as Owen leaves, we're right after him.
Jimmy nods.

Mila and J.T. are sitting on the ground by the pool.
Mila: That was beautiful. You know it by heart?
J.T.: I know all the Shakespeare sonnets by heart.
Mila: Really?
J.T.: Well, just the published ones. He wrote most of them to a mysterious, dark-haired woman.

Sydney walks over to Jimmy and Callie.
Sydney: Um, Jimmy? Could you excuse Callie and I for a second?
Jimmy shrugs and walks away.
Sydney: Thank you. (pauses) Okay, Callie, please tell me that birth certificate came.
Callie: I'm sorry, Sydney. I just talked to J.T. and Neil, and....
Sydney: (sighs and glances over at Garrett and Glory who just entered the club) I have everything but time. (looks back at Garrett and Glory)

Garrett and Glory are standing at the door, staring at Mila and J.T.
Mila: Who do you think the dark lady in the sonnets was?
J.T.: I don't know.
Garrett and Glory approach Mila and J.T.
Garrett: Mila.
Mila: Garrett! (she and J.T. stand up and walk over to Garrett and Glory) I'm so glad you finally got here.
Garrett: Yeah, I can see you missed me.
Mila: I did! I was so miserable until J.T. and I started talking.
Garrett: (glares at J.T.) Great.
Mila: We were discussing poetry.
J.T.: Yes. Mila really knows her iambic pentameter.
Mila: Well, I've had a great teacher. (smiles at Garrett)
Glory: The only thing my brother could teach is the difference between a worm and a snake!
J.T.: Glory!
Glory: I'm hungry.
J.T.: Why don't we get something-
Glory: Yes! (grabs J.T.'s shirt and drags him away)
Mila: Do you want to go swimming? I can do three different strokes now after our lessons.
Garrett: Yeah. But can we stay afloat when we're apart?
Mila: I hope we don't have to. (takes Garrett's hands and smiles at him) Besides, you can't leave me. You're my agent.
Garrett: Speaking of that, where's Owen? Owen!
Garrett pulls Mila toward Owen, who is filming something in the cabanas with his video camera.
Owen: Yeah? ...This is gonna be great for the credits!
Garrett: Listen, you're gonna have that video shot and edited in the next couple of days, right?
Owen: Barring any technical difficulties.
Garrett: Good. Because that video's gonna make Mila a star!
Owen: Then I'll go right to it! (leaves the club)
Jimmy: There he goes! (grabs Callie's hand) Come on!
Callie: Shouldn't we take Saja with us?
Jimmy: He's got his hands full. Come on! (Jimmy and Callie quickly leave the club)

Sydney starts speaking to everyone in the club on a microphone.
Sydney: Attention! Attention, everybody. I want to officially welcome you all to my goodbye to summer party.
J.T.: More like a good riddance to Garrett party! (gives Neil a high-five)
Sydney: And I especially want everyone to have a good time because- (microphone squeaks. Sydney blows on it) Because who knows what's gonna happen tomorrow.
Shot of Garrett reaching for Mila's hand, Saja and Sandy smiling at each other, and J.T. putting his arm around Glory, who both have troubled looks on their faces.

-Cut to commercial break-

The Tool and Die. Barek is standing behind a small TV set, and Owen is leaning against a table in front of it, eating ice cream.
Barek: (fiddles with the back of the TV set, then walks away and shuts off the lights) Listen, I'm sorry, but the popcorn popper crashed.
Owen: (shrugs) The tripple ripple's cool... (Barek walks over to the table and joins Owen in front of the TV set) Um, remember, this is my first try at serious filmmaking.
Barek: Aw, come on man, even Fleeny heads start somewhere. (playfully flips the brim of Owen's hat down and picks up the remote) And... action! (plays video)
On the video, Ralph and Sydney, who is dressed down and wearing a green facial mask, are standing in the middle of the Rutledge's cluttered attic. [Note: this clip was taken from a previous episode.]
Ralph: [in video] Sydney, you-- you have made your face disappear.
The camera moves over to the door of the Tool and Die, which is open a crack. Callie and Jimmy are peeking inside, watching the video and chuckling.
Sydney: [in video] (laughs) It's called a midday mud musk. It's a Rutledge family beauty secret. It's been so for centuries.
Ralph: [in video] Oh.
Owen: [in video] Too cool!
Sydney: [in video] (quickly turns around and shrieks when she sees Owen video taping her. She runs around the attic, looking for something to cover her face with while Owen continues to video tape her. She finds a framed picture of herself and holds it in front of her face.) Owen, what are you doing here?!

The camera cuts from the shot of Sydney's picture in Owen's video to a close-up of Sydney in the present, who is standing by the Swan Club pool, talking to Garrett.
Sydney: (shaking her head) I'm not worried.
Garrett: (smirking) You could have fooled me.
Sydney: As soon as you show that birth certificate to your father, he's gonna know it's a pathetic lie.
Garrett: (turns around to face her) That's just it. I'm not going to show it to my father. I'm gonna wait until the concert.
Sydney: You wouldn't.
Garrett: (folds his arms across his chest) Then I'm gonna announce the fact that you are Sandy and Sandy is you. The press will circle like sharks and your mother's campaign will be like bait.
Sydney: You're- you're sick.
Garrett: (laughing) Besides, your mother accused my father of losing all the town records. Here's one that hasn't been lost.
Sydney: How can you do this to me?
Garrett: Of course, that's if, uh...
Sydney: If what?
Garrett: If my plan to make myself indispensible to Mila's career fails to impress my father.
Sydney: (steps up to Garrett) You're a dreamer. (she turns around to walk away, but Garrett sharply pulls her back and makes her face him)
Garrett: I'm your worst nightmare.
Mayor Rutledge quickly walks over to them.
Mayor: What is this? (glares at Garrett) What is this?
Garrett: (turns toward Mayor) Mayor.
Mayor: Take your hands off my daughter.
Garrett: (smirks) Gladly. (lets go of Sydney and walks away)
Mayor: (steps toward Sydney and places her hands on her shoulders) Sydney...
Sydney: Mother, don't worry. It's okay.
Mayor: No, it is not okay. It's just another sign that everything is changing... for the worst.
Sydney: Mother!
Mayor: (glances at her watch and cups Sydney's face in her hands) Look, I have a few calls to make. Don't-don't worry. Everything will be fine. (pats Sydney's shoulder and walks away)
Sydney looks after her mother, confused.

The Tool and Die. Barek and Owen are still watching the video, and Callie and Jimmy are still peeking into the shop, watching it as well.
On the video, J.T. and Neil are standing in front of a mailbox, chatting. Barek is watching them on screen warily. [Note: this clip was taken from a previous episode.]
J.T.: [in video] (speaking with a mock Russian accent) Certainly, Professor. Or, should I say, "Vann?"
Neil: [in video] (also speaking with mock accent) Thank you, Professor Vann.
J.T.: [in video] You're welcome, Professor Vann.
On the video, J.T. and Neil do their "UB2B handshake" and the camera zooms out, revealing Baldie #1 hiding in the bushes, spying on them.
Barek: (waves his hand at Owen) Hey, hey, hey. Freeze the frame.
The screen pauses on a shot of Baldie #1's profile with J.T. and Neil in the background. Barek studies it intently, with a somewhat knowing look on his face. The camera moves over to Callie and Jimmy, who are still peeking into the shop and gaping at what they've just seen on the video. The turn away from the shop to talk.
Jimmy: (gesturing toward the shop, speaking in a low voice) That's the guy who followed Saja.
Callie: (also speaking in a low voice) The one we chased out of Swans Shop.
Jimmy: Yeah, yeah, the guy with the band-aids on his head!
Callie: He's the one after J.T. and Neil! Well, one of the ones. (she grabs Jimmy's arm and pulls him back over to the door to continue watching the video)

The Swan Club Pool. Saja, J.T., Neil, Glory, Sandy, Sydney, and Mila are in the pool, playing with some inflatable pool toys.
Saja: Come on, J.T. Give me the ball before I come and get it from ya! (a beach ball hits him on the head)
Sydney and Sandy are splashing J.T. with water and hitting him with another beach ball.
J.T.: Hey, whose side are you guys on anyway? (swims away from the girls)
Sydney, Sandy, Glory and Mila: Ours!
Nancy: (standing at the edge of the pool) Glory, Mila! Guys against girls! (jumps in the pool)
Glory and Mila: Yeah!
The girls are all shrieking as they continue to play with the guys in the pool. (In case you're wondering where Garrett is, he's still fully clothed in his long sleeved shirt and trunks, walking around the edge of the pool, looking like he doesn't want to get wet.) Mayor Rutledge is watching the kids in the pool sadly, brushing away a tear. Baldie #1, who is now dressed in pool clothes and has a towel around his neck, is watching them as well with a sinister look on his face. The camera zooms in again on the kids laughing and having fun in the pool. The screen freezes on this shot and then fades to black. The words, "To be continued... Let us hear from you!" appear on the screen as strange music plays in the background.
