WE CAN TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
IT'S FINE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOP TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL BECAUSE OF ME.
NOTHING HAS TO CHANGE.
SO THAT'S IT? YOU--YOU'RE DONE?
I MEAN, THE DECISION WAS BASICALLY MADE FOR ME.
EVERY DOCTOR I'VE SEEN SAYS IT'S TOO DANGEROUS
TO KEEP PLAYING, SO...

TRUST ME, I WAS A MESS FOR A WHILE.

THAN WITH TWO CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS, RIGHT?
SPENCER: DON'T FORGET TO GLUE THE ASTERISKS TO THAT SECOND RING.
OH, MY GOD.
LATER.

UH, HEY, SPENCE, HOLD UP A SECOND.
UM, I NOTICE YOU
HAVEN'T BEEN COMING AROUND THE HOUSE LATELY.
YOU SURE WE'RE ALL GOOD WITH OUR FIGHT AT THE CHAMPIONSHIP?

AH... [EXHALES]

HE SAYS HI.
YOU GONNA SAY HI BACK?
WHY? IS HE HERE?
NO, HE'S NOT.
AND DO YOU KNOW WHY?
WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT THIS AT A LATER DATE?
DAD, SPENCER USED TO LIVE WITH US,
AND NOW HE WON'T EVEN COME HERE.
HE THINKS THAT YOU DON'T WANT HIM HERE.
WELL, I THINK HE'S MADE IT QUITE CLEAR
THAT HE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT I WANT.
HE'S MY BOYFRIEND, DAD.
HE'S GONNA BE AROUND FOR A WHILE.
HMM, IS HE? LOOK...
HE'S SIGNING WITH TOLEDO,
AND OHIO IS NOT CLOSE TO BEVERLY HILLS.
THEN MAYBE I'LL GO TO COLLEGE IN OHIO, TOO.

MAYBE WE SHOULD KEEP IT LOW-KEY.

YOU GUYS, LOW-KEY WOULD BE FINE IF IT WAS BUTLER'S PARTY, RIGHT?
THIS IS LAYLA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

OR PARTIES OR SURPRISES.
I USUALLY FIND SOMEWHERE TO HIDE.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD, TOO,
IN CASE J.J. GOT SOMETHING ELSE PLANNED.
YOU DON'T THINK THAT'D BE RUDE?
IT'S YOUR PARTY. BE RUDE, GIRL. GO AHEAD.
I'LL COVER FOR YOU.
THANKS, SPENCER.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
BRRRING, BRRRING!
OOH. WHO'S THERE?
STATE CHAMPS.
BUTLER: OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
SPENCER: YOU MIGHT WANT TO HANG UP
BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY MADE THE WRONG CALL.
JORDAN: YEAH, I'LL TAKE THE MVP.
-MVP? -YEAH!
SPENCER: YOU THINK YOU PLAYED BETTER THAN ME...
BUTLER: ONE SECOND, ONE SECOND...
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
I'M PRETTY SURE THEY DUMPED ALL THE LIQUOR
AFTER THE WHOLE LIV SECOND RELAPSE THING.
ASHER: YEAH.
[SIGHS]
PROBABLY FOR THE BEST ANYWAYS.
WASN'T ABOUT TO BE MY BEST DECISION.
BAD DAY?
[EXHALES]
A BAD COUPLE YEARS.
I HEAR THAT.
I, UM, JUST FOUND OUT MY HEART PROBLEM
WAS CAUSED BY TAKING STEROIDS
AND I CAN NEVER PLAY FOOTBALL AGAIN,
AND, UM, I DID IT TO MYSELF.
AND I WENT AND GOT SHOT.
I MEAN, YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN ME TRYING TO RAP EARLIER.
I THOUGHT BEING SHOT HELPED RAPPERS.
HEH. WELL, I THOUGHT TAKING STEROIDS HELPED FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
YOU KNOW, IF I HADN'T SEEN THAT LAST DOCTOR,
I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT IT WAS MY FAULT.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT I DESERVE FOR GETTING MY HOPES UP.
I SHOULD'VE LEFT IT ALONE, YOU KNOW?
HEY, HOPE SUCKS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I GOT TO LEARN THAT LESSON.
SPENCER SAID YOU WERE UP HERE.
AND I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THE PARTY.
I WAS SO CAUGHT UP IN MY DAD AND SPENCER'S DRAMA
THAT I DIDN'T STOP JORDAN.
IT'S FINE. THERE'S NOTHING YOU COULD'VE DONE.
HE WOULD'VE FOUND A WAY.
[CHUCKLES]
HE JUST WANTED YOU TO FEEL LOVED.
WE ALL DO.
YEAH. I KNOW. UM, AND I DO,
BUT WHAT I DON'T FEEL IS HEARD.
HEY, SAY THE WORD, AND I WILL CALL THE COPS, OK?
THEY'LL SHUT THIS PARTY DOWN IN A SECOND. THEY HATE ME.
IT'S NOT JUST THE PARTY.
IT'S ME.
UM, I NEED TO BE THE KIND OF PERSON
WHO DOESN'T JUST-- I DON'T KNOW--SMILE
AND PRETEND LIKE EVERYTHING'S PERFECT WHEN I'M FEELING BEAT UP.
USING J.J.'s STUPID PARTY FAVOR AS A VISUAL AID.
I LIKE IT.
I CAN'T BE THAT PERSON ANYMORE, LIV.
I MOVED IN WITH YOU GUYS TO TAKE CHARGE OF MY LIFE.
AND THE NEXT STEP IN THAT IS
BEING MORE DIRECT.
I HAVE TO LEARN TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST
AND MAKE PEOPLE HEAR ME,
EVEN IF THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT I WANT TO SAY.
LAYLA, YOU'RE ALREADY DOING THAT.
I MEAN, TELLING YOUR DAD THAT YOU DIDN'T FEEL SAFE WITH HIM
HAD TO BE TOUGH,
BUT YOU DID IT ANYWAY.
AND HE LISTENED, UNLIKE US,
WHEN YOU SAID THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OF YOUR BIRTHDAY.
I SOUND UNGRATEFUL AND SELFISH.
NO. DEFINITELY NOT UNGRATEFUL.
SOMETIMES BEING SELFISH IS NECESSARY
TO PROTECT YOUR PEACE.
I MEAN, HONESTLY, SCREW EVERYONE ELSE.
ARE YOU STILL TALKING TO ME?
I'M TALKING TO BOTH OF US.
HEY. LOOK, I KNOW THINGS ARE BAD RIGHT NOW,
BUT IT'S NOTHING THAT WE CAN'T GET THROUGH, OK?
IT DON'T MATTER.
COME ON. OF COURSE IT DOES.
LOOK, FORGET WHAT THAT DUMB DOCTOR SAID.
SHE DON'T KNOW YOU OR WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF.
I DON'T KNOW. TOGETHER I THINK WE--
I'M DONE, PATIENCE.
DONE WITH WHAT?
DONE HOPING, PRAYING, RAPPING, ALL OF IT.
I QUIT.
AFTER EVERYTHING YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH?
I MEAN, WE CAN GET A SECOND OPINION
AND A THIRD IF WE NEED TO.
YOU CAN'T--YOU CAN'T JUST QUIT YOUR DREAMS.
LOOK, ARE YOU NOT HEARING ME?
I'M NOT TRYING TO GET MY HOPES UP FOR NOTHING.
THE DREAM IS DEAD.
MUSIC IS DEAD.
OK, COOP.
BYE.
THERE SHE IS. GOOD NIGHT, PRINCESS.
[KISS]
UM...
PLEASE STOP CALLING ME PRINCESS.
I'VE ALWAYS CALLED YOU PRINCESS.
YEAH. AND THAT WAS FINE WHEN I WAS 8,
BUT NOW IT JUST MAKES ME THINK
OF A HELPLESS GIRL IN A TOWER
WAITING TO BE SAVED, AND THAT'S NOT ME.
OHH, IT'S JUST A NICKNAME.
YOU GOT ME A TIARA.
LOOK, I HAVEN'T BEEN A LITTLE GIRL IN A LONG TIME,
AND ALL 18 REALLY DID WAS OFFICIALLY SHUT THE DOOR
ON THE CHILDHOOD I NEVER REALLY HAD.
SO THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO CELEBRATE.
CONSIDER "PRINCESS" RETIRED.
YOUR MOTHER HATED BIRTHDAYS, TOO.
-I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. -YEAH, SHE DID.
NOT THE BIRTHDAY ITSELF SO MUCH AS THE PARTIES.
YOU KNOW, SHE WAS AN EXTROVERTED INTROVERT, LIKE YOU,
AND HER FAVORITE BIRTHDAYS WAS
WHEN IT WAS JUST THE THREE OF US.
LOOK, UM, ANY CHANCE I CAN GET A DO-OVER,
JUST SCRAP THE TIARA?
YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN AN ADULT FOR A LONG TIME
DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY.
LET'S GO DO SOMETHING FUN, JUST THE TWO OF US.
ANYTHING MY PRINCESS--
ANYTHING YOU WANT.
ANYTHING?
YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?
I AM OFFICIALLY AN ADULT TAKING CONTROL OF MY LIFE
UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU THINK I'M TOO MUCH OF A PRINCESS.
DEFINITELY NOT.

HOW YOU FEELING?
NOT GREAT. YOU?
NOT GREAT.
YOU PROBABLY CAUGHT IT FROM ME. HUH.
LOOK, I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT I SAID EARLIER.
I DIDN'T MEAN IT.
NO, YOU MEANT IT.
BILLY: I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
THERE IS NO ONE I RESPECT MORE
THAN YOU AND YOUR SISTER.
I MEAN...
IF YOU KNEW--HA HA-- HOW PROUD I WAS
WHEN YOU WERE PICKING APART MY DEFENSE--
WELL, I WAS PISSED.
BUT I WAS, UH, I WAS PROUD.
I JUST WISH YOU FELT MORE COMFORTABLE COMING TO ME
WHEN YOU NEED HELP.
IT'S NOT THAT I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE, DAD.
IT'S BECAUSE THE LAST TIME I CAME TO YOU, YOU COVERED FOR ME,
AND YOU ALMOST LOST YOUR JOB.
LIKE, I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING WAS A MISTAKE,
BUT I WANTED IT TO BE MY MISTAKE.
I CAN RESPECT THAT.
YOU ARE A MAN.
I GUESS I NEED TO START TREATING YOU LIKE ONE...
EVEN WHEN YOU MAKE QUESTIONABLE DECISIONS.
SO WE ALL GOOD, THEN?
ME, YOU, SPENCE?
WHY DON'T YOU GO HELP YOUR MOTHER CLEAN UP?
[CHUCKLES] OK.
SPENCER: YOU GOT ANY FOOD LEFT?
OLIVIA: HA HA! NO.
OH, OK.
THANKS FOR STICKING AROUND.
I KNOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE.
NAH. I'M ALWAYS COMFORTABLE WITH YOU.
HEH. WHAT STUPID MOVIE ARE WE WATCHING TONIGHT?
[CHUCKLES]
THANKS FOR TRYING WITH MY DAD.
HE'S GONNA COME AROUND EVENTUALLY.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME,
I SAY WE FORGET ABOUT HIM, OK,
AND JUST FOCUS ON EACH OTHER.
ALL RIGHT.
HE MAY NOT ACCEPT ME, BUT HE GONNA HAVE TO ACCEPT US.
GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD.
