TRANSCRIPT:
1X05 - FIRST TIME
==========================


First scene:  The familiar sites of LA flash across the screen before the camera cuts to the students of King High; each of them going their own way.  We finally see an unsteady image of books on a table as if from a video camera )

Spencer’s voice:  So, do you know how to work that?

( The view changes from the black and white image of Ashley’s video camera screen to Ashley herself, sitting on the table just in front of Spencer.  She’s peering down at the camera, trying to get it to work )

Ashley:  No, not exactly.  But have you seen any Indy films lately? ( Fiddles with her camera )  No clue what they’re doing, and yet it doesn’t stop them and they’re still winning awards. ( Ashley’s camera finally beeps and she holds it up, smiling ) Now, okay…

( View changes to a grayscale version of Spencer as Ashley holds the camera in her face )

Spencer:  What kind of movie are you making?

( View cuts back to Ashley on the table )

Ashley:  It’s an art film… ( Dramatic gesture ) with underpinnings of sexual tension. ( Spencer nods ) I was thinking about entering it into the West Hollywood “Check Out My Shorts” film festival.  ( Holds up the camera and we’re once again met with a zoomed in, grayscale image of Spencer’s face.  She’s smiling, waiting for Ashley’s question ) Now, tell me about your first time having sex.

Spencer:  ( Loses her smile and knits her eyebrows together ) What?!

( View changes to Ashley again )

Ashley:  ( Exasperated, she puts down her camera for a second ) Come on! ( Holds the camera back up in time to catch Spencer’s disapproving gaze ) This is where the sexual underpinnings come in.  My documentary is about people’s first times having sex. ( Records Spencer shaking her head ) I already made my entry.  ( Gestures with the camera ) Lets go.

Spencer:  No, no way.  On tape?  Not gonna happen. ( Reaches up to block the recording with her hand )

( Fade out:  South of Nowhere theme song – “Lift Me Up”, Gena Olivier )

( Fade in:  Next scene – Once again there are flashes of students at King High.  We see Clay picking up one of his notebooks off the ground and dusting it off. Chelsea comes up beside him and nudges him playfully )

Chelsea: ( Grins ) Hey Mr. Beautiful Mind. ( They start walking together ) No one has ever gotten a hundred percent on Quigglies physics test.  Must feel awesome.

Clay:  ( Shrugs modestly ) Well, yeah, it does.  I studied really hard, and… I’m glad it paid off.

Chelsea:  Well, you should be very proud of yourself.  I know that I am.

Clay:  Yeah?

Chelsea:  ( Smiles ) Yeah. ( They both look down bashfully ) So, what are you going to do to celebrate?  ( Clay looks down, thinking about it.  He lets out a small laugh ) What do you want to do for yourself that you haven’t gotten around to?

Clay:  Explore the Great Barrier Reef.

Chelsea:  ( Nods, smiling ) Okay, cool dream. Um… ( Fiddles with her water bottle ) Why don’t you let me know if there’s something you want to do here in town to celebrate?  Maybe we’ll do it together. ( We see Clay hugging his notebook to his chest )

Clay:  ( Smiling ) Together? ( We see Chelsea biting on her thumb before she nods, smiling.  She starts to walk off ) Sweet. ( He watches her leave.  She has a huge smile on her face. After she’s gone he looks around and lets out a long breath )

( Scene cuts to Aiden, Spencer, and Ashley walking around the corner of a building )

Aiden:  ( To Ashley ) No thank you.

Spencer:  ( Also to Ashley, referring to her “art film” ) I told you, people don’t want things like that on tape.  I mean, it might get in the wrong hands.

Ashley:  Okay, only if you’re totally lame.  I’m not Paris.  ( Stops in the middle of the sidewalk and points to both of them ) And you guys do know that by denying me of my artistic expression, ( Tilts her head down and looks up at them pitifully like a wounded puppy while fiddling with her camera strap ) could send me down a path of self-destruction?

Aiden:  ( Spencer looks back at him with an amused smile on her face ) You’ve survived it before, you’ll do it again. ( They start to walk again )

Ashley:  ( To Spencer ) Okay, do you see this?… ( Points to Aiden ) This is why having a history with people can have its’ drawbacks. ( Spencer laughs quietly )

( Ashley looks forward and spots someone )

Ashley:  Oooh, Madison… I need you.  ( Madison and Sherry walk into the scene )

Madison:  ( Snobby ) That’s obvious.

Ashley:  Annnd that was a gift. ( Fake smile.  Madison doesn’t look amused ) No, seriously.  I’m doing this documentary for a film festival, and… I need someone with star quality.

( Camera moves back to Madison and Sherry.  Madison seems pleased )

Madison:  ( Shoves her purse into Sherry’s hands ) Star quality.  Finally you’ve got something right. ( Flips her hair back )

Sherry:  ( Laughs, looking at Madison ) Now she’s never gonna get that big head through the door.

Madison:  ( Loses her smile ) Unless you’re breathing, don’t open your mouth. ( Sherry shuts up and looks down )

( View changes back to Ashley holding up her video camera )

Ashley:  ( Looking at Madison expectantly ) Okay, so you will do it, right?

Madison:  Mmhmm. ( Strikes a pose, pursing her lips )

Ashley:  Okay.  ( Image changes to a grayscale version of Madison as she smiles big for the camera ) Now… tell us about your first time having seeex. ( Madison’s smile slides off her face ) Go.  ( Madison looks blankly at the camera, enraged.  Ashley puts the camera down.  Sherry’s amused ) Oh my God, was it that long ago that you can’t remember?

Madison:  ( Storms off with Sherry close on her heels.  Sherry laughs and Madison snatches her purse back ) Don’t even.  ( Sherry stops laughing and they walk off the screen )

Ashley:  ( Laughs to herself until she sees Aiden and Spencer staring at her ) What?

Spencer:  You might just want to try a more subtle approach.

Aiden:  Yeah, ask people privately, not in a crowd.

Ashley:  ( Pulls her camera strap back over her shoulder ) Great advice. Alright, I’ll see you guys later… ( Takes a few steps in the other direction but stops and points at them suggestively ) … Privately. ( Walks off smiling.  Both Aiden and Spencer laugh )

( Scene cuts back to Clay, now walking with his brother, Glen, down a sidewalk )

Clay:  ( Gesturing with his hands to Glen ) But how do I- How do I do it?

Glen:  Alright, you just go right up to her, and be like, “Hey sexy… Wanna go out Friday night?”

Clay:  And what if the girl says no?

Glen:  ( Stops in the middle of the sidewalk and looks down, befuddled.  Looks back up at Clay ) Kind of caught me off guard with that one.  I’ve never actually had anybody say no.

Clay:  ( Surprised ) Seriously?

Glen:  Yeah.

Clay:  Never? ( Glen shrugs )

( Camera moves to Madison who’s walking towards the two in the opposite direction.  Sherry’s close behind her.  Madison smiles as she spots Glen )

Madison:  Hey baby, what are we doing this weekend? ( Walks in between him and Clay )

Glen:  Whatever you want.

Madison:  ( Smiles and keeps walking.  To Sherry ) Mm, I love that man.

Glen:  ( Pokes Clay in the chest ) See bro?  It’s all in the delivery.  ( Chases after Madison and Sherry )

( Clay ponders on this while he watches them leave.  He shakes his head and turns to walk in the opposite direction, but he stops when he spots Chelsea at her locker off in the distance.  He watches her for a second before he reaches into his pocket to pull out his cell phone.  We see that he’s text messaging someone )

( Camera cuts to Chelsea who picks up her phone after it chimes.  She looks around briefly before opening her phone to read the message.  We see, “I was thinking about dinner?” on her phone screen.  She smiles and starts to write a text in response )

( Camera moves back to Clay’s phone.  It says, “where’d you get my #?”  He smiles while he texts her back )

( “I’m not just smart n physics” is the reply we see on Chelsea’s phone.  She smiles, and this time she looks around for him.  She spots him not too far away, smiling at her.  He raises his eyebrows and hands as if to ask, “So, what do you say?” She smiles )

( Scene changes to an unsteady image of Glen laying on the ground with his hands tucked behind his head, obviously through the screen of Ashley’s camera.  He smiles as he reminisces through the good ole days )

Glen:  Sandy Zine.  Beautiful… blonde.  ( Frowns ) Oh no, she wasn’t my first. ( Camera falters a little and the view changes to an irritated Ashley waiting for his story.  View changes back to Glen through Ashley’s camera ) I knew Tyler Edmonson before I knew her.  ( Smiles, looking up ) Wow… ( To the camera ) That was a good night.  We were by the lake… ( Frowns again ) Oh, no no no no, wait wait wait.

Ashley:  ( View changes back to her, she’s getting pissed ) Dude… do not even tell me that you do not remember your first time.

Glen:  ( Back to a grayscale image of Glen, aggravated ) I’ve been active, okay?  Give me a minute.

( View changes back to Ashley )

Ashley:  ( Turns off her camera ) I am so glad that I don’t have to deal with guys like you anymore. ( Steps over him and walks off )

( Next scene: We see the outside of the Carlin house at night.  Inside there’s an Instant Message opened on a computer screen.  It reads like this:

aiden_hoops25: hey girl!
ohio_qte: hey hi
aiden_hoops25: don’t be mad at me. i caved.
ohio_qte: what?

( Then another message pops up as we’re watching:

aiden_hoops25: i told ashley i would do her documentary.

( View cuts to Spencer, frowning as she reads the message.  She responds with, “u r braver than me.”  We hear a knock at the door.  Spencer looks over in time to see Glen walk in )

Glen:  ( Irritated ) Off.

Spencer:  Um, my computer?

Glen:  Yeah, mine has a virus and I actually have homework to do.

Spencer:  ( Typing ) You know, if you weren’t all fast and loose on the computer then you wouldn’t be bringing home all these cyber diseases.

Glen:  Look… I need to get this paper done, or I won’t be able to play and then you’ll be the reason we lose.  Can you live with that?  ( Looking at the screen ) And you know what?  You’re actually not doing anything, so… out.

( Spencer scoffs and turns to type out one last thing to Aiden:  “ass is here.”  Glen gives her a look and she gets up.  He sits down in her chair )

Spencer:  ( Stops and points at him before she leaves the room ) Do not download any porn.  I don’t wanna come and read my email ( Gesturing to her computer ) and be looking at some girl’s giant circus boobs. 

( Gives him one last warning look as she turns to leave.  Glen immediately starts typing in the IM window that’s still open with Aiden.  Types out, “you suck”.  Spencer sees it and slaps his hands away.  Shakes her head as she leaves the room )

( Next we see Glen typing out his paper.  He gets bored and tired, so he decides to check his email.  He has one new message.  He opens it up to find a naked girl’s picture filling the screen.  The only thing we see is the face, and it looks like… Ashley? )

Glen:  ( Grinning from ear to ear ) No way! ( Takes a closer look, amused )

( Next scene we’re taken to King High the next day.  We see Madison standing against a wall while Glen looks at her animatedly )

Madison:  Ashley? ( Glen nods, grinning ) Nude nude?

Glen:  Yeah ( excited ) I’m telling you, like.. like you could see everything.  It was… ( Laughs, shaking his head )

Madison:  ( Gets suspicious ) Just how long were you looking at her?

Glen:  ( Loses his smile ) Uh, just b-brief... quick, really.

Madison:  Who’s sending you porn?

Glen:  I don’t know.  It was an unknown user.

Madison:  ( Starts to walk off ) That girl’s a freak.  ( Glen nods and smiles in agreement before he walks after her )

( Scene cuts to Aiden and Spencer walking down a hallway when Ashley comes up behind them )

Ashley:  ( Sings ) What is uuup?  ( Moves between them and looks to Aiden ) Who’s ready for their close-up?

Aiden:  ( Groans ) Oh my God, can we please get this over with?

Ashley: ( Scoffs ) Temperamental actors.

Spencer:  Ugh, I can’t see this.

Ashley:  ( Stops and looks over at her ) Why?  You’re gonna see the film anyway.

( We see a random girl in the background holding up her cell phone and looking at Ashley )

Spencer:  Maybe, maybe not.  ( Smiles at them ) I might just want to keep the mystery alive.  ( Walks off, leaving them behind.  Ashley watches her as she leaves.  Once gone, she glances over at Aiden )

( Scene changes to Ashley holding up her video camera in a different section of the school )

Ashley:  Okay, Aiden.  First time… go.

Aiden:  ( We see him through Ashley’s video camera screen, leaning against a wall) Okay ( Small laugh ) I had a job cleaning pools.  And uh… I kept getting called back to the Marsh residence.  I mean, it was a mansion, really… ridiculous, some old rich dude.  But good ole Mrs. Marsh hated leaves in her pool.  So, she would call me back three or four times a week.  ( Smiles ) One day she asked me to come in the house. ( Camera image shoots down )

Ashley:  ( We she her putting down her camera ) Okay what, whoa, wait a minute.  ( Disgusted ) You did not lose your virginity to some old Bellaire prone, did you?

Aiden:  ( Back through Ashley’s camera screen ) No, first of all it was the third Mrs. Marsh, and she was about 25 or 26.  I mean smokin’, a California ten.  …Hot. ( Nods, grinning )

Ashley:  ( Unenthusiastic ) Cool.  ( Shuts off her camera )

( Next scene cuts back to Glen, but this time he’s with Clay.  They’re tossing a basketball back and forth )

Glen:  Clay, man up. What you’re gonna do is you’re gonna take her to dinner, then you’re gonna hit up this hotel off Pico and 3^rd, alright?  I heard they don’t check IDs there.

Clay: It’s not gonna happen.  I just wanna get to know her and have a good time.

Glen:  ( Smiles ) Awww, you’re gonna have a good time if you get her to a hotel.

( Spencer pops up out of no where and goes to Glen’s side )

Spencer:  Hey. ( To both of them ) You better watch out.  Ashley’s on a mission to get ten “losing it” monologues. 

Glen:  ( Shrugs ) I already did it.  ( Spencer gives him a confused look )

( Image changes to Ashley’s video camera screen focused on Clay as she walks up to him )

Clay:  ( To Glen ) What?  Are you crazy?

Ashley’s voice:  Okay Clay.  ( Clay sees the camera ) Lets hear it, first time.

( View changes to Glen and Spencer standing behind Ashley while she holds her camera in Clay’s face )

Ashley:  Go.

Spencer:  Oh, God, c’mon. ( Disgusted ) I can’t hear my brother do this. ( Ashley smiles back at her )

Clay:  ( We see him through Ashley’s camera again ) Nothing to hear.

Glen’s voice:  Hey man, it’s cool. ( View changes back to Glen and Spencer with Ashley rolling her eyes in front of them ) You know, most first times aren’t that spectacular anyways.  ( Ashley turns to look at him.  Spencer’s already staring at him ) I mean, except mine, cause… I was great!

Ashley:  ( Fake, sarcastic laugh ) Ha-ha-ha, guess what? Not about you right now. ( Turns back to Clay and sets the camera back on his face.  We see him through Ashley’s camera again ) Okay- come on, Clay.  Give it up.

Clay:  ( Watches them ) Hasn’t happened yet.  I’m a virgin.

( View changes back to the three, Ashley, Spencer, and Glen, all staring in shock )

Ashley:  ( Turns her camera off.  Astonished, she stares at Clay ) Cut.

( Next scene – We see more flashes of King High school before the camera cuts to Spencer and Ashley walking down a crowded hallway together.  Ashley’s walking with her camera pointed at Spencer )

Ashley: C’mon, you have to do this for me.

Spencer:  ( Holds up her hand in front of the camera ) You’ve got plenty of other people confessing their most intimate experiences.  You don’t need me.

Ashley:  ( Insistent ) Yes, I do.  C’mon, there’s a way uneven balance.  There are more no times than first times. ( Spencer puts her hand in front of the camera again.  We see several students in the background looking at their cell phones and glancing over at Ashley ) And plus, when my film becomes a cult classic, you’ll be sitting on the sidelines, depressed.

Spencer:  I don’t think its right to document everything that we do.  I mean, maybe it’s the privacy and intimacy that keeps special moments special.

Ashley:  No, you’re special.  ( Looks directly at Spencer rather than through her camera, smiling) That’s why I love you.  ( Spencer doesn’t seem convinced.  She tilts her head, not amused, and pushes the camera down out of her face.  Ashley, discouraged, turns her camera off ) Okay fine.  ( We see more students looking down at their cell phones, shocked. Camera cuts back to Spencer and Ashley ) I’ll ask you about your first time ( Smiling again )… like it’s a rehearsal.

Spencer: No, and uh… No. 

( Aiden, completely focused on his cell phone and not watching where he’s going, walks into Ashley and Spencer )

Spencer:  Hey Aiden.

( Before he snaps his cell phone shut, we see that the nude picture of Ashley was sent to his phone )

Aiden:  ( Laughs nervously ) Uh, oh, uh hi. ( Smiles )

( They both look at him suspiciously )

Ashley:  What?

Aiden: ( Stutters ) I-I swear I didn’t see anything.

Spencer:  ( Reaches over and takes his phone from him.  Opening it up, the smile drops from her face.  To Ashley ) Oh, right… yeah umm, wait- I was trying to find a good time… ( Ashley takes the phone from her ) … to tell you about… that.

Ashley: ( Looks at the picture, shocked ) Okay, how about the minute you found out? ( To Aiden ) Where did you get this from?

Aiden: I-I- I don’t know.  Somebody did a mass spam to the school student body… of your body.

( The three of them start to look around at the nearby students.  We see just about everyone looking down at a cell phone or looking at a computer screen, smiling at the image )

Spencer:  ( Grimacing slightly, she turns to Ashley ) Ash, are you okay?

Ashley:  ( Thinking quickly with all of the nearby students staring at her, she calls out to them ) Yeah, that’s right!  It’s me.  Whoo! Are we all happy? 

( Everyone applauds.  Spencer looks around smiling while Ashley looks uncomfortable )

( Next scene – Sights of LA flash across the screen until the camera fixes on Clay and Sean hanging out after school.  They’re walking down a sidewalk )

Clay:  -Dinner… conversation.

Sean:  Clay, yo she’s fine, that’s for sure. Yo, but you don’t need to make this an investment, man.  Save yo money until you know you gonna get the honey. ( Smiles )

Clay:  It’s not a big deal… just a little dinner and some conversation.

Sean:  And then you go to heaven. ( Laughs )

Clay:  I don’t think it’s gonna get that far tonight, okay?

Sean:  Cool, cool.  Yo, but if it does, take your time, man.  You’ve been growing up with the white folks in the Midwest.  Your God-given romantic skills are out of line. ( Laughs again )

Clay:  When I’m with her I’m not the black guy in the white house, or the guy that’s supposed to get the good grades.  I’m just… just me.  I’m just a man.

Sean:  That’s deep…  Yo, but since you’re just a man, you still better be ready in case it goes your way. ( Clay sighs and Sean laughs )

( Scene changes to the beach.  The camera passes by a lifeguard stand and we see Chelsea sitting on it, with Ashley down below, recording her )

Chelsea:  My first time was after prom.  My date took me back to his house.  ( View changes to Ashley’s camera screen recording Chelsea ) His parents were asleep, it was like three in the morning.  And we were just gonna take a quick nap before we met some friends for breakfast.

Ashley:  ( View changes back to her holding the camera.  Gives a skeptical laugh ) Yeah right.

Chelsea:  ( View changes back to a grayscale image of her.  Smiles ) For real. Seriously, I… ( Shrugs ) at least that’s what I wanted.  But… he was so cute, and a real sweet talker.  So… suddenly it became a prom where I lost my virginity. And… ( Loses her smile.  Looks off in the distance ) haven’t been to a prom since. ( Looks back to the camera and gives a little smile )

( Next scene:  We see more flashes of LA, this time at night.  Next we see the Carlin home from the outside before we see Clay walking down the stairs on the inside. He makes it to the bottom of the stairs only to be confronted by Glen )

Glen:  ( Checking out what Clay’s wearing ) You’re not wearing that, are you? ( Clay adjusts his collar ) I mean, you’re never gonna fix your problem.

Clay:  ( Laughs ) What?  I’ve got a problem?

Glen: Yeah… virginity thing.

Clay:  Okay , see… my problem is you getting into my business.  Look, it’s cool.  It’ll happen when it happens.

Glen:  Okay, okay ( Smiles ) So lets make that tonight.  Look, the first impression sets everything up.

Clay:  Okay.

Glen:  And this shirt?  It says, you know… ( Reaches up to play with Clay’s collar ) “I’m happy not getting any.”

Clay:  ( Laughs ) Oh, is that what it says?

Glen:  Yeah, what you need is like… something that says, you know, “I’m cool and relaxed.  And if you’re not with me somebody else will be.”

Clay:  A shirt can say all that?

Glen:  Yeah.  Look, I’ll let you borrow one of mine.  Now, the pants… ( Clay looks down at his khakis ) the looser the better, k?  You never know when she’s gonna break down and give in, so you want to be easily accessible at all times.

Clay:  ( Laughs ) Glad we don’t share the same DNA. ( Pats Glen on the shoulder and heads back upstairs )

( Scene changes to a recording of Sean through Ashley’s camera )

Sean:  Her momma was gone to church, and man I was feeling it for this girl.  So I go over to the house, and we started talking.  I tell her I’m leaving for the army.  ( Smiles ) She didn’t believe me at first, but my game was tight.  Eventually she let me in.  Yo, thank God for Baptist Sunday school goes on for hours. ( Laughs ) I’m playing.  ( Gets serious and loses his smile ) She was uh… she was the most gentle person… I ever met. She uh… she was shot two summers later on the Boulevard. Dead before she even got to the hospital.  ( Pause ) Sh-She was uh… she was cool. ( Stands up to leave, holding his hand in front of the camera )

( Next scene:  We’re taken back to the Carlin residence.  We see Paula and Arthur walking down the stairs dolled up in Mardi Gras costumes )

Arthur:  I can’t see very well.  ( Referring to his mask )

Paula:  Whatever.

Arthur:  Listen, you know, you look beautiful, but, besides trying to spice up our love life, what is the point ( Takes his mask off ) ow, of this mask?

Paula:  ( Seems agitated ) I don’t know, Arthur.  I didn’t plan the party.  Can you just deal with it, okay? And not complain for the next three hours.

( We see Spencer and Clay standing in the foyer.  They pass glances to each other over their parents conversation )

Arthur:  ( Camera cuts back to them on the stairs ) What are you so tense about?

Paula:  Nothing, it’s just you’re going to meet… everyone. ( Reaches up to adjust his tie ) And socializing with people from work is always stressful, and I just want to get this over with. No more questions. ( They both turn and see their children waiting at the bottom of the stairs.  Paula’s face lights up when she sees Clay )

Arthur:  ( Smiles ) Hey!

Paula:  ( To Clay ) Aw, Honey, you look so handsome! ( Clay smiles )

Glen:  ( Enters behind Spencer and Clay ) And accessible.

( Clay and Arthur greet Glen and then Clay moves to hug Paula )

Clay: Oh mom, thank you so much for letting me use the car. ( Hugs her ) I love you.

( Camera cuts to the front door momentarily where we see Ashley slip in unnoticed )

Paula: Now, how do we look?

Ashley:  ( Walks up with an animated, excited look on her face ) Aw, family role-playing! ( Everyone looks over at her.  Paula starts to lose her smile ) I did that with my parents in therapy.  ( Quickly starts fiddling with her camera and clears her throat, mumbling something under her breath ) It didn’t help.

Paula:  ( Pulls her mask away from her face, not amused ) We’re going to a fundraiser with a Mardi Gras theme, okay?  ( To Arthur ) Lets go. ( They start to move towards the door )

Ashley:  ( Steps in their way ) Oh cool.  Hey wait, actually… I’m really glad you guys are here, ‘cause I need your help.

Arthur:  Sure Ash, what can we do for ya?  ( Paula shoots him a dirty look )

Ashley:  ( Looks down at her camera ) Well… ( She cuts it on ) It’s for my film. ( Camera turns to show us Spencer, Clay, and Glen.  They all groan/grimace and turn away ).  And I need an older generation’s perspective.

Paula:  And on that note, we really have to go. ( To Arthur ) Lets go. ( Pushes past her and heads for the door )

Ashley:  ( Trying to stop them ) Wait, no no no, please, if I just get you two guys then I only need one more to rap it.  ( Quickly gets her camera ready while Paula and Arthur stand by the door.  Paula gives her husband a look ) Okay. ( Holds her camera up ) Now, when was your first time? ( Clay and Glen grimace )

Spencer:  Ashley!

Paula:  ( We see a grayscale version of her through Ashley’s camera ) My first time what?

Ashley:  ( View changes back to her looking down at her camera screen ) You know, first time… you had sex? ( Looks up at Paula ) Lost your virginity? And action. ( Smiles )

Paula:  ( View changes back to Paula from Ashley’s camera ) Oh my gosh.  ( Turns to look at her children ) Kids, have you done this?

( Camera cuts back to Spencer, Glen, and Clay )

Spencer:  No.

Glen:  Uh, I plead the fifth.

Clay:  Not applicable.

Ashley’s voice:  ( We see Paula through her camera again ) C’mon, Mrs. C. Adult perspective.

Paula:  ( Stares at the camera for a moment, not speaking.  Finally covers up her face again with her mask and talks quietly ) On my wedding night. ( Removes the mask and looks to Arthur.  Whispers ) Lets go.

Ashley:  ( View changes back to her with her camera ) Wait wait wait wait, okay, which one?

Paula:  ( Back through Ashley’s camera ) Uh, I’ve only had one.  Lets go!

Ashley:  ( View changes back to Ashley ) Oh sorry, ( Laughs ) I was thinking about my mom.  You, Mr. C?

Arthur:  ( We see him through Ashley’s camera ) Oh, me? Oh, um… ( Laughs nervously.  Paula hits him with her mask so that he snaps out of it ) Oh, on my wedding night, w-with her… Paula.  Gotta go, it’s late.  ( They open the door and start to leave )

Clay:  I gotta go, too.  ( Starts to walk to the door )

Paula:  ( Calls back to them ) Hey, we’ll be back by midnight.  ( They close the door behind them )

Spencer:  Good luck, Clay.

Glen:  ( Walks after Clay ) Uh hey, hey hey.  Just check your pockets, ‘cause I slipped you some raincoats.  ‘Cause I’m predicting thunderstorms for you man!

( Clay smiles and shakes his head.  Opens the door and leaves the scene.  Glen walks back over to Spencer who’s now accompanied by Ashley, fiddling with her camera )

Spencer:  ( Shaking her head, grossed out ) Disgusting.

Glen:  What?

Spencer:  Ugh.

( Next scene – We see images of a carnival setting at night, all the rides seem to be closed.  Chelsea and Clay walk down a small bridge together )

Clay:  So, give me the Chelsea Lewis life story.

Chelsea:  Well, there’s really not much to tell.  I mean, I grew up in Culver City, took art and dance classes on the weekends.  And… art became a passion.  I just- I want to be an artist.  I want to finish school and get on with it. 

Clay:  ( Watches her ) That’s it?  The woman of my dreams can be described in, what?  Three sentences?

Chelsea:   ( Laughs ) Okay, hold on, I’m working on trying to be the woman of my dreams, okay? I don’t need any added pressure.

Clay:  No added pressure.

Chelsea:  What about you?  ( Smiles at him ) What’s the down and dirty on Clay Carlin?

Clay: Down and dirty.  ( Laughs ) Well, you know my recent history.  My early years were rough.  Foster care.  Seven homes since I was one.  ( Gestures towards a bench and they sit down )  This one home had six kids in it, but they couldn’t even care for one child.  But hey, they wanted the checks.

Chelsea:  ( Nods ) So how did you end up with the Carlins?

Clay:  Well, my dad is a social worker.  Poof… my case came across his desk.  He was the first person that ever listened to me.  Then one day, he asked me, ( Imitates Arthur ) “Do you want to be a part of my family?” ( Chelsea laughs )

Chelsea:  So, it seems like it worked out pretty well.

Clay:  ( Nods ) Yeah, it did, it did.  From the beginning I thought they were gonna send me back like everyone else.  And I tried so hard to be the perfect kid.

Chelsea:  Why is that?

Clay:  ( Shrugs ) I have no idea.  Little kid, you know?  Good grades, quiet, polite, no problems… ( Gesturing out to the quiet water in front of them ) no waves.

Chelsea:  ( Laughs softly ) Right.

Clay:  And uh… I’ve been a Carlin ever since.

Chelsea:  Black Irish, huh?

Clay:  Yeah.  ( Nods and Chelsea laughs.  Compliments her, smiling ) That’s good.

Chelsea:  ( Laughs again ) Thank you. ( Gets serious ) So… do you ever think you wanna find your real family?

Clay:  ( Shakes his head ) Mm-mm. Nah, they… are my real family… Yeah.  ( Looks over at her and smiles.  Nods to himself before Chelsea’s eyes lock with his.  They slowly move in for a kiss )

( Scene changes to Arthur sitting in the drivers seat of their car with Paula sitting next to him.  Arthur’s talking on his phone )

Arthur:  6^th and Alameda, right on the corner. ( Listens ) An hour? You’re kidding me. ( We see Paula shaking her head ) Okay, we’ll look for ya. ( Closes his phone and looks over at his wife ) What? You think I planned it?

Paula:  ( Irritated ) Why am I not surprised?

Arthur:  Oh, come on.

Paula:  Never mind, Arthur.  It’s probably just as well.

Arthur:  Do we have to do this again?

Paula:  What else are we gonna do for an hour?

Arthur:  Well… we could do a repeat performance of how we really did it the first time.  It was in a car.

Paula:  ( Gives him a disapproving look ) That shouldn’t have happened.

Arthur:  Ah, ( Smiles ) that night gave us Glen.

Paula:  Yeah, and that night changed our lives forever.

Arthur:  ( Looking ahead ) It was worth it for me.  ( Looks back at Paula ) Was it for you? ( Paula looks ahead and doesn’t answer )

***** Note from the transcriber:  Um, I’m not really sure what happened at this point in the episode.  I’m guessing it’s some kind of technical error, but it appears as though some scenes were put in the wrong order.  This next scene looks like it’s from the same day since both Ashley and Spencer are wearing the same outfits, but for one - It’s daytime again… go figure, and two – We’re at Ashley’s house, not Spencer’s house anymore…  Yeah, I don’t know *****

( Next scene – We see the outside of Ashley’s house during the day.  Inside her room, both her and Spencer are looking at the nude picture of Ashley on her laptop )

Spencer:  Hey, look at it this way.  ( Ashley partially closes the laptop and lays back on the couch ) If someone’s gonna show your naked body to an entire school, at least they picked a hot photo. ( Smiles )

Ashley:  ( Smiles ) Why Spencer Carlin, I think that was a compliment. ( Looks up at her )

Spencer:  Why, you’re very welcome.  So, ( Gestures to the laptop ) why all the glitter makeup?

Ashley:  Why not?  Adds a certain flash, don’t ya think?

Spencer:  Definitely in touch with class.

Ashley:  ( Laughs ) You do know that’s not me, right?  I mean, it’s my face, but not my body.

Spencer:  Okay, that’s your story and I’m happy to stick to it.

Ashley:  ( Loses her smile ) No seriously, look…  ( Lifts up the leg of her shorts ) I do not have a birthmark on my thigh.

Spencer:  ( Shocked ) No way.

Ashley:  Way.  ( Sits up and reopens her laptop ) The power of Photoshop… so adds the mystery of moi.

Spencer:  ( Squinting at the image ) Who would… do that?

Ashley:  ( Frowns as she thinks of someone ) Madison… ( Starts typing something ) Bitch. ( Pulls up a photo on her laptop of her and Madison smiling.  The shot of Ashley fits the one of the nude picture )

Spencer:  You were Madison’s friend?

Ashley:  Yeah… freshmen year.  Then up until last year she was cool until I started hanging out with Aiden.

Spencer:  You know… ( Smiles at Ashley and then leans forward to start clicking on her laptop ) two can play at this little computer game.

Ashley:  ( Smiles at her ) And better… ( Looks to the computer ) or worse.  ( They’re both smiling as they start to get creative.  Ashley laughs )

( Next scene – We see Clay and Chelsea now at the beach.  They’re curled together on a blanket, kissing )

Clay:  ( Leans back as they take a breather ) You’re a good kisser.

Chelsea:  ( Laughs quietly but then loses her smile when she spots something on the blanket next to Clay.  Picks the condom up and holds it to where Clay can see ) Feeling confident?

Clay:  ( Mortified, he rubs his face ) No.  ( Disgusted with himself ) Glen… gave those to me on the way out.  Subtle is not his thing.

Chelsea:  ( Shakes her head ) Guys are all the same.

Clay:  In a way- In a way, that’s true.  ( Tries to convince her ) Listen, I never even assumed it would get here… really.  But- I’m glad I’ve got ‘em… in case I can be safe, or… ( Grimaces ) We could be safe.  ( Covers up his face with his hand )

Chelsea:  Does that “Aw, shucks”, sweet boy thing get you hooked up back where you come from?

Clay:  ( Takes a breath and sits up ) Listen listen listen listen.  ( Takes his finger and tilts her chin up so that he can look her right in the eye ) I’ve never hooked up with anybody… k?  I’ve never even got close.

Chelsea:  ( Gives him a small smile ) Really?  Why not?

Clay:  ( Watches her ) Maybe I just… haven’t met a special enough person.

Chelsea:  ( Takes a breath ) Well, maybe one day you’ll think I’m that special person.  ( Smiles and moves forward to kiss him again.  We see Clay smile as they lie back down on the blanket together )

( Next scene – We’re in Spencer’s room, at night again.  Ashley is lying on her stomach on Spencer’s bed, facing towards the foot of the bed.  Propped up on her elbows, she has her camera directed at herself, and we see her image recording on Spencer’s television )

Ashley:  ( Smiles ) My first time with a girl… was amazing. ( Pause ) My date – a guy… left and took off with some other girl, and just left me completely stranded.  ( View changes to where we’re sitting in front of Ashley.  We can see Spencer behind her, sitting at the head of the bed.  She leans forward as she listens to Ashley’s story ) And this girl that had worked the door had offered me a ride… Maggie.  ( Another pause ) We ended up at her place over in Beachwood Canyon.  I thought it was just gonna be an experiment.  And it was that moment between knowing what you wanted and feeling safe enough to go there.  ( View changes to where we just see Spencer.  She looks down and leans back ) She made it gentle… sweet, ( Spencer looks back up at her ) hot, fun, and… just sensual. ( View changes back to where we’re in front of Ashley.  She’s looking at the TV screen ) I hope I can do that for someone else someday. ( Smiles softly.  Glances over at Spencer quickly ) Okay, you can turn it off.

( Spencer gets up and walks over to the TV, shutting it off.  She stands there for a moment, looking down at Ashley.  We see Ashley again, looking up at her, not speaking )

( Next scene:  We see Spencer and Ashley standing together at school the next day.  There’s a lot of commotion going on that we can’t see )

Spencer:  ( Smiles ) Classic.

( Camera shifts to show us the cause for the commotion.  On the Cobra Bulletin Board, there’s a life-size cut out of Madison… with no clothes on )

Ashley:  Yes, what a wonderfully evil idea.  ( Camera shifts back to them.  Ashley smiles ) So unlike you, Spence.

Spencer:  ( Grins ) Maybe there’s more to me than you know.

Ashley:  ( Looks at her, more seriously ) One can only hope.

( They share a moment before Madison and Sherry burst on the scene.  Spencer and Ashley wait for their reaction.  Madison’s smile slowly leaves her face when she sees her cut out )

Sherry:  ( Highly amused ) Oooh, girl, your business is hanging out everywhere.

Madison:  Shut up.  ( Runs towards the cut out ) That’s not me.  You know I don’t have those pierced.  ( Starts trying to tear the cut out off the bulletin board.  Looks back to Sherry ) You could help.  ( We suddenly see Glen in the crowd of laughing students )

Glen:  ( Shocked ) When did you get those pierced? 

( Madison rolls her eyes while Glen runs forward with a huge grin on his face.  He stares with an open mouth until Madison finally massacres the thing, throwing it on the ground.  Everyone starts to applaud.  Madison looks around, infuriated.  Possibly the loudest portion of the laughter is from Ashley and Spencer.  She runs off, and Glen runs after her )

( Last scene – The entire screen is filled with a grayscale image of Spencer… She finally agreed to do Ashley’s documentary.  She’s sitting on the ground with trees off behind her.  She’s hugging her knees to her chest as she tells her story )

Spencer:  ( Smiling slightly ) He was cute, and I thought I was in love.  I mean, aren’t you supposed to be if you go all the way?  ( Scene cuts to Ashley standing not too far away.  She’s watching the recording of Spencer in her room.  We now see the TV screen with Spencer on it.  She laughs softly )  Anyway, his family had horses, and they lived on this really cool farm.  So, we went to the barn, and we were excited because we were both virgins.  And we knew it was gonna be this incredible experience.  ( View changes back to Spencer filling up the entire screen ) I mean, it had to be, otherwise why would everyone be so obsessed with it, right? ( She looks down and slowly starts to lose her smile.  The camera gradually zooms in on her ) Well, it wasn’t incredible… ( Looks back up at the camera ) not even fun.  ( Pause ) It was over almost before it began… and I cried.  I don’t know if I was happy, or sad, or… just relieved.  But I cried.  ( She looks down again and the camera momentarily zooms in on her mouth) I wish I could have a new first time… ( Smiles ) with someone I really do love… who gets me.  ( View changes back to Ashley; she has her lips pressed together ) Maybe I will. ( Ashley looks down, smiling to herself – Fade out )
