  Speaker 5: Fine, but why are we doing a recap?
• 0:28
  Speaker 7: All that really happened in the first episode is that

• 0:34
  Speaker 7: you told me someone from the school orchestra left you
• 0:36
  Speaker 7: a hate note in your locker, but you're not sure
• 0:38
  Speaker 7: who who who? Also, you told me, in no uncertain
• 0:42
  Speaker 7: terms that you don't date bandmates, which is fine because
• 0:45
  Speaker 7: I definitely don't have a crush on you. That's threatening

• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Good to know, say, weren't you about to blame me

  Speaker 2: bedroom day. Franny's tuning his guitar.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: It's always the best ring. It's like it hates me. Okay,

  Speaker 6: I thought, get.
• 1:31
  Speaker 8: Why does the moon look so big and other times
• 1:35
  Speaker 8: look so small? Why is it up there at all?
• 1:42
  Speaker 8: And how come this sun gets so hot and the
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: other times it is not like nighttime? Winter and fall?
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Anything anything, anything.
• 2:13
  Speaker 8: Except that I like you. Why do those weird colored
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: lights way up around the whole dance through the nice
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: guy sometimes?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And does that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: Magic curst world somehow explain how a girl can show
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: a sparkle and child. I don't know. I don't know.
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 2:58
  Speaker 9: Anything anything, anything.
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: Except that I like you? Can the love feels so
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: big and make you feel oh so small? Why do
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: I bother?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: A beat?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: While Frannie waits for PV's reaction, PV smiles, Then Frannie smiles.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Then that was depressing.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: PV and Franny looked to the doorway, standing there as
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: JOEA eighteen, one of Pev's infinite sisters, get out of
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: my room, Joanna, Fine, but Franny, you should consider a
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: diminished three chord instead of the minor four.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It's less trite, Joanna leaves.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Who was that? And how did you know my name?
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: That's Joanna she's one of my sisters.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: She doesn't look like you, and she.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Has awful taste in music. Maybe she's adopted or I am.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Now let's take a look at this.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: PV takes out a photograph.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: What is it?
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: The Overton Orchestra. We need to figure out who wrote
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: my hate note?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, inset a picture of the Overton Orchestra.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: The handwriting definitely belongs to a boy, so we can
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: eliminate all the girls.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Two pass in the photo are xed out.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Not super helpful. What else do you know?
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Well, the text of the note wasn't particularly brassy, and
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: everyone of string players struggle to express themselves in words.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Brass and strings are xed out, leaving only the percussionists,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: timpani and triangle.
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: That leaves the tympane and the triangle. The tympanist is
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: Max Angler. He's good, real good.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Interior music room day, the band is playing. Max Angler
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: is reading a biography of Buddy Rich With his left hand.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: He hits the timpany in time with the music, then
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: turns a page. Interior Pev's bedroom, continuous with before.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: The triangleist is Ryazukibe, immaculate timing, but his dynamics can
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: be questionable.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: We'll interview both of them tomorrow.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Okay, why is this so important to you anyway?
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: I just hate the thought that someone hates me. Wouldn't
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: that bother you?
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: No?
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I assume most people hate me.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I probably do somehow. At some point, Joanna has re
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: entered the room.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Get out of here, Joanna, remember Franny three.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Cord?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: She holds up three fingers and uses him to make
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: one of those I'm watching you gestures, then leaves.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Sorry, though she's probably right about the chord.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Interior Overton High Hallway, just outside the music room, the
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: members of the orchestra have begun to file in for practice.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: PV and Franny wait outside until they spot Max.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Oh hey Max.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Max notices Franny and approaches.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: What's up? Do you hate PV? Who's PV?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: PV raises her hand.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Do I know you?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Wait?
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Didn't you go into our practice last week and say
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: we all suck? I did? Yeah? I guess I do.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Short of hate her, Oh so you wrote the note?
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: What note?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: PV holds up a folded note.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Nah, the only notes I write look like this.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: He holds up his sheet music and points to a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: musical note, then heads off.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I guess that means it's Russo, the.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Trianglest unless our methodology is flawed.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Well, we're about to find out which one's Russo.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Franny points him out.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: I'll handle it this time.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: She goes off to.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Talk to russoh Franni watches they talk for a few moments.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Then Pev comes back.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Was it him?
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: What do you say that it was him? Then he
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: asked me out on a date? Then I said, yes,
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: what a date? Like a movie or dinner?
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: I know what.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Let me see that note.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: TV hands over the note. Frannie unfolds an inset. The
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: note is written in a small and serious hand, PV.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I think you are extremely beautiful.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: This isn't a hate note, it's a love note.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: I guess I read it more ironically, you know, like
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: I think you're extremely beautiful.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Why would you read it that way?
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Anyway, mystery solved, Thanks for your help, Franny.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Franny looks on helplessly interior Franny's house. Evening, Franny sits
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: on the couch staring at the TV, which isn't on.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: His mother enters. Marion Blevins is a loving but strident
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: woman who believes the world can be shaped by those
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: with the fortitude to bother trying.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I love this show.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Hey mom, something's wrong. What's wrong? I like a girl,
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: that's the problem.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, no, Marian sits down on the Cougary.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: She says, we can't date since we're in a band together.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: She's right, you should never date a neighbor or a
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: coworker or a yoga instructor.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: But I really want to date her because she's amazing.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: So don't be in a band with her.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: But I really want to be in a band with
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: her because she's amazing. Oh that's tough. She sounds amazing
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: though she is.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Marian puts an arm around Franny. I just wish why
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Harrian gestures.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Towards the TV, which still isn't on.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: This is the best part.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Franny smiles. Interior Overton High Gymnasium. A dodgeball game is
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: on Franny's with aj. They dodgeballs as they talk.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: And now PV and Russo are going out on a date.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Franny, that sucks.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Ajpeg's a kid, hard in the stomach.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: You're an embarrassment to this court. Walk off, bitch. The
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: worst part is that he's my fault. I agree to
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: be in a band with her. I should one in everything.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Why can't you be in a band and date at
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: the same time? If we would and Mac did it,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: That's what I said, AJ, being someone else.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I bet your.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Mama felt that. I bet her mama felt that. I
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: just shook your whole family tree son. Anyway, there's no
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: arguing with her. She's dating Ruso. Now I have to
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: accept it.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Unless AJ spots someone about to throw a ball at him.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: I dare you. I'm begging you to throw.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: That ball to throw her chickens out.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: He turns back to Franny.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: If PEV won't date a band mate, you just need
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: to convince Riuso to join your band.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Of course, AJ, you're a genius.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: AJ hits Franny with a ball ow.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: We're on the same team.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And interior Overton High lunch room.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Later, PV is at the front of the lunch line,

• 9:59
  Speaker 2: and a red.

  Speaker 2: TV leaves the line and runs into Franny. Oh hey,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Franny notices PV's lunch.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: You know, sugar is really bad for you.
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: I've got a book about it, but you don't have
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: to read it, you know, I'll probably just burn it anyway.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: I had an idea, what's that? What if we added
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: Rusou to the band.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: You said his triangle playing was dynamically uneven.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we can work on that.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: We could use a percussionist. And now I know it
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: doesn't hate me.
• 10:45

  Speaker 2: He rolls them again. Another nerd shuffles a stack of
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: cards and rhythm. Someone else taps metal figurines together. The

  Speaker 2: lunch room.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: What's wrong, We've only had one rehearsal, Franny. We shouldn't

  Speaker 2: kid hidden inside.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: I'm playing hide and seek. I've been in here since yesterday.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: Nobody's found me impressive.
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it isn't as satisfying as I'd expected.

  Speaker 2: They both consider this interior Overton High practice room afternoon,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: a very small practice room with soundproof walls and a
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: grand piano. Russo, who is very serious, sits with his

  Speaker 5: to be in the band.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: More excited too.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: They shake hands.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: Also, I thought we could perhaps plan our date now.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: PV takes off the mask.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Didn't Franny tell you? I don't date my bandmates. It's
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: a rule I have.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: But what about Fleetwood Mac exception? That proves the rule. Okay,
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: then I don't want to be in the band.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: It was good having you.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: They shake hands, so we can still go out on Friday.

  Speaker 4: But but I it's fine.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: I heard him play the triangle and you were right,

• 15:32
  Speaker 6: as a duo.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: We are, aren't we?
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: And you know what this right here, this relationship between bandmates,

  Speaker 6: some stupid boyfriend.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: Totally wait, rutho's your boyfriend now?
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Anyway, I guess we should start rehearsing that gentle mediation

  Speaker 5: I thought you didn't want to enter.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: I know it's a long shot, but I believe in us.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Sure it won't be easy. There will be setbacks.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: It might even take the whole season, the whole what
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: all a full semester, But it'll be worth it when

• 16:43
  Speaker 6: On the other hand, early success can have its own drawbacks.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: The weight of the trophy causes Leo to fall over backward.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Students rush to help her.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I think that's very true.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: You want to go write a song?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I do. They walk out of the auditorium.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: On the way, they throw their participation trophies in the trash.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: We stay on the trophies for a beat. Then a large,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: fuzzy mit reaches into the trash and pulls one of
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the trophies back out. Pulling back, we see it's the
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Bulldog mascot. He scans the plaque on the front of
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the trophy. It reads congratulations PV and Franny. It is
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: better to have participated and lost than never to have
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: participated at all. The Bulldog looks up watching his PV
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: and Franny leave the auditorium together.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Who's in there anyway, what's he thinking?
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: We don't know, and maybe we never will know, because
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: that's the end of this unproduced television pilot
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: The end, and then we'll do it.
