Previously on The Hills…

Lauren: (V.O.) Spencer ended his friendship with Brody because Brody was hanging out with me.

Spencer: You are rolling around with my enemy so that makes you my enemy.

Lauren: (V.O.) Even though I said Brody and I were just friends…

Frankie: I think he got a little jealous.

Lauren: I really don’t have feelings for Brody.

Lo: Well, you did for a second in Vegas.

Lauren: (V.O.) I was starting to wonder maybe there was something between us after all. 

Brody: How about I watch a movie with you? What movie is it?

Lauren: Does it really matter?

Lauren: (V.O.) Lisa had challenged us to find a location for Teen Vogue’s Young Hollywood party.

Lisa: Amy Astley’s decided that she wanted a fashion house involved. And I want a lot more people this year.

Lauren: (V.O.) And after a lot of hard work, Whitney thought she had found finally the perfect place.


CUT TO: Church

Whitney is showing the location she has chosen for the Young Hollywood party to the staff of Teen Vogue.

Lisa: Oh my gosh. It’s amazing.

Whitney: It’s gorgeous, right?

Lisa: It’s beautiful.

Whitney: Yeah. There’s just so much you can do with it, so much space. See? This is what I was talking about with the confessionals on the sides…

Lisa: Right. Well we could hide those. We could hide the confessionals. It’s gonna…yeah…

Whitney: I was thinking maybe we could put like some photo booths in them or something. 

Guy: It could be fun.

Whitney: Yeah. We were thinking maybe like the band up there and the runway down the middle.

Guy: Totally. Yeah just right down the middle for sure.

Whitney: And I know back there is um, a big changing section so…

Guy: Yup exactly.

Lisa: This is such a huge space.  And it’s an absolutely beautiful space and don’t get me wrong but they’re…we’re gonna have to make it look like there’s a lot of people in it. I think we have to draw it. I mean I think we have to look at it.

Guy: I’ll pull together a bunch of references and furniture ideas and drawings.

Whitney: Right ‘cause she’s gonna have…I know Amy’s gonna have to…I mean need every detail in front of her.

Guy: Flowers…

Whitney: Visually so…

Lisa: Many more discussions now that we’ve found the space. Thank you, Well done.

Whitney: Thank you.

Lisa: Great.


CUT TO: Opening Credits


CUT TO: Teen Vogue Offices

Lauren and Whitney enter Lisa’s office.

Lisa: Hi Whitney.

Whitney: Hi.

Lisa: How are you? Hi Lauren.

Whitney: Good how are you? (They shut the door and sit down)

Lisa: So we’re gonna send you to New York again. You both been?

Lauren: Yeah, yeah.

Lisa: You’re uh, gonna go on the red eye to meet with Amy Astley and her whole staff to present everything that we discussed for the Young Hollywood party.

Whitney: Okay.

Lisa: So you’ll do the whole run through as we did…Viviana…

Whitney: Right.

Lisa: She needs to see all the pictures…

Whitney: Yeah.

Lisa: And you should take all the inspiration…

Whitney: Right.

Lisa: And all the changes that we made…

Whitney: This is them?

Lisa: These are the ones that we had and Amy’s seen these.

Whitney: Mm-hmm.

Lisa: But the ones with all the new ideas, she…

Whitney: She hasn’t seen any of this?

Lisa: She hasn’t seen any of that.

Whitney: Okay.

Lisa: So you want to get the drawings…

Whitney: Right.

Lisa: And then…

Whitney: The color scheme and the flowers…

Lisa: And then you’ll come back right after the meeting.

Whitney: Right.

Lisa: So you know that it’s serious business in New York. You’ll do a great job, I count on you and come back successfully and quickly, okay?

Whitney: Okay.

Lauren: Thank you.

Whitney: Thank you.

Lisa: Bye. (They get up and leave Lisa’s office. Cut to the office Lauren and Whitney share. They sit down at their desks)

Whitney: Oh man. I can’t believe it.

Lauren: I haven’t been to New York in so long.

Whitney: And we get to go together.

Lauren: I’m excited.

Whitney: I’m really excited. I didn’t want to make this presentation by myself. As soon as she was like ‘You’re going to New York’, I just like…my closet ran through my brain. I was like ‘Oh my god…what am I gonna wear?’

Lauren: Obviously. Do you know what’s so funny?

Whitney: What?

Lauren: I totally have a dress on reserve…

Whitney: You do?

Lauren: For our next meeting with Amy Astley. So I don’t even have to shop now.


CUT TO: Bolthouse Offices

Spencer parks his car, gets out and heads inside. As he does, he runs into Frankie who is leaving after having picked up his check.

Spencer: Oh look who it is.

Frankie: What up? (They high five)

Spencer: What’s up? I haven’t seen you in so long.

Frankie: (To person on the phone) Let me call you back. (Hangs up the phone)

Spencer: What are you doing here, picking up a little paycheck?

Frankie: Yup, I do Saturdays at Area with Brent. I haven’t seen you in, what, three months?

Spencer: It’s been a while. I’ve been chilling.

Frankie: So Brody left you a message on your birthday. We called you on your birthday, we didn’t get a call back.

Spencer: With Brody and I, it’s as simple as this. I’ve been Brody’s loyal best friend for so many years, I’ve defended him, I’ve fought for him, and then he started hanging out with LC, who all she does is bash my name, try to tear up my relationship with Heidi, all these things, right?

Frankie: Lauren’s my friend, Brody’s my friend and he should be able to hang out with whoever he wants and if you can’t accept that, then you guys are never gonna be friends. He called you on your birthday, maybe that was a little way to reach out to you.

Spencer: Well…

Frankie: You wanna continue a friendship with him, you go reach out and you go call him and you go talk to him.

Spencer: It’s all about moving forward.

Frankie: All right. I gotta go spend my money. (Frankie leaves and Spencer goes out and it cuts to inside where Heidi comes to meet Spencer)

Heidi: Hi you ready to go to lunch?

Spencer: (Heidi sits down with him) You’re never gonna guess who I just ran into.

Heidi: Who?

Spencer: Frankie Delgado.

Heidi: Oh yeah he works for Brent sometimes. What’d he have to say?

Spencer: He was just like ‘You gotta understand there’s too sides of it like Brody can’t believe you wouldn’t be friends with him over talking to Lauren’. I was like dude it’s not about that Frankie. It’s about that I wouldn’t do that and Brody’s not the kind of friend I have been and will be to him. So many people have said bad things about Brody. Am I friends with those people? Yeah right. It’s like that’s the difference between Brody and I. He would be friends with somebody who says bad things about me. I wouldn’t do that with my friends.

Heidi: Right.

Spencer: I mean I have…I don’t care, I really don’t.

Heidi: Well…

Lauren: Okay thanks.

Whitney: Thank you. (They go and sit down) We really stepped it up here.

Lauren: Do I look like Teen Vogue Barbie?

Whitney: (Closes in on her dress) I don’t think I would ever wear this in the office. It’s just like a whole different world out here.

Lauren: Did you practice at all?

Whitney: Um, not really. I’m a little nervous. (She touches her arms) I’m like dripping. (Amy’s assistant opens the door behind them)

I think having the Marc by Marc Jacobs show there…it’s gonna be a week after the New York show and he’s never done that before and to, you know, restage a show, especially in LA, so I’m happy that we were able to convince him that that’s a good thing to do. And actually, Lauren I have heard from Lisa Love that you are a big fan of Marc Jacobs.

Lauren: Mm-hmm. He’s my favorite?

Amy: He’s your favorite?

Lauren: Yeah.

Amy: So we have to send you down to Marc Jacobs.

Lauren: Okay.

Amy: Now actually.

Lauren: Oh okay. So I’m not doing the meeting?

Amy: No you’re not gonna do the Young Hollywood meeting. Um, Whitney can handle it and it will take about twenty minutes to get downtown. Do you know your way around New York?

Lauren: Uh, not…

Amy: Taxi time! 

Lauren: Right?

Amy: Seventy two spring.

Lauren: Okay now?

Amy: You’re going now.

Lauren: All right. (Gets up)  Okay. (To Whitney) Bye.

Lauren: Yup of course.

Kate:  I know maybe you didn’t think you were gonna be doing this today. Do you want other shoes?

Lauren: No I’m fine thank you.

Kate: We really appreciate it. (Leads Lauren to Michelle, the casting director) We have a lot going on so let me introduce you to Michelle.

Lauren: Hi I’m Lauren nice to meet you (Shakes her hand)

Venetia: Lauren nice to meet you too.

Michelle: So I guess I’ll have you kind of like running back and forth, doing a lot of different things but for the most part you’re just gonna be stationed right here.

Lauren: Oh okay.

Michelle: You’ll have to do the finish styling. Tuck them in, tie their bows, give them shoes and then send them to me and I really want them to be 100% styled.

Lauren: Okay. Thanks. (Michelle leaves)


CUT TO: Teen Vogue Headquarters

They’re all in a conference room for the Young Hollywood meeting. Amy walks in the room.

Amy: Hi guys. So Whitney I’m so glad you could come from LA to spearhead our Young Hollywood meeting today. (She sits down) This is Whitney’s first time to present to us as a member of our staff, not just as an intern. So we’re counting on you. And um, why don’t you go ahead and take us through the uh, location first?

Whitney: Okay, okay. (She gets up and walks over to where her boards are standing up) So I have all these boards. Um, what I just wanted to start out with is kind of like the birds eye view of the whole surrounding area and the church. This will… (Points to an area) you’ll come in right here and go straight outside…

Amy: Is there valet for the cars?

Whitney: There will be valet, yes.

Amy: Okay.

Whitney: So we’ll do the pictures and then they’ll immediately go outside.

Amy: So they go out to the garden?

Whitney: They go out to the garden. (Grabs another board)

Amy: Let’s see the garden.

Whitney: There’s this huge tree in the middle (Replaces the first board with one of the tree and the garden) that they want to um, hang chandeliers from and…

Amy: How many chandeliers?

Whitney: Um…hmm…um…I’m not sure on the number.

Amy: ‘Cause too many’s a little…

Whitney: Yeah.

Amy: A little too much.

Whitney: So…yeah…um…what do I have here? I have all these (Picks up more boards) outside…I know they’re working with a lot of wicker maybe (Holds up a board with pictures of furniture on it as members of the staff pass around the boards she had recently shown)

Kimball: This is actually…looks a little…

Amy: Boring?

Kimball: Weathered.

Woman: This is just not right.

Amy: You think it’s too brown?

Woman: Yes.

Whitney: Um…(She has replaced the furniture board with another one and is pointing at it) So there is a straight runway will just be a carpet…

Amy: Mm…I think no carpet.

Whitney: Okay.

Amy: Too sloppy. (Whitney puts that board down)

Woman: It just makes it less complicated as well to get the party started after the show.

Amy: Exactly. We don’t have to roll it up. No carpet.

Whitney: Okay so we’ll nix the idea. And…okay so then (Refers to boards with pictures of flowers that are leaned up against the wall) these are the florals…

Amy: Where are these flowers going exactly? Where do they go?

Whitney: Um…I think that um…probably lining…maybe lining the side of the walls…

Amy: They look like table top arrangements to me. (Whitney sits down at the table again) So you can go back and (Whitney is writing in a pad) maybe fine tune some of these things.

Whitney: Okay.

Amy: All right good.

Whitney: Thank you. (She laughs. Then it cuts to everyone leaving the room as Whitney packs up her stuff)


CUT TO: Marc Jacobs Design Studio

Models are walking for Michelle and it then cuts to Lauren putting the finishing touches on the models. She is putting a jacket on one. Cuts to models getting photos taken then to Lauren looking through shoes. She finds the pair she is looking for and hands them to a model. Cuts to models walking as Lauren watches.

Michelle: (Comes over to Lauren as Lauren is putting a belt on a model) Are they dressed? You gotta be quick come on. Lauren, you’re gonna wanna pay attention to this. If a girl comes back and the shorts are too big, then clip them right in the back. (She does it, which Lauren watches)

Lauren: All right. (To a model putting on shoes) Here you go. You can slip those on. I’ll clip ‘em for you. (It cuts to the model walking away and Lauren flops down in exhaustion. It cuts to Lauren alphabetizing)

Whitney: I can’t believe it.

Lauren: I’m gonna go like…(Zips up her bag) give Lisa Love a hug and then run away ‘cause I’m afraid of what she’ll do to me. (Whitney laughs)

Whitney: So I never really heard from Amy about how I did in the presentation.

Lauren: I wonder if she’s given a report to Lisa yet.

Whitney: I know. I wonder what Lisa will say when I get back. I’m really curious. You never know what’s said behind closed doors, you know?

Whitney: I’m so excited.

Whitney: Me too. I’m a little nervous. I still haven’t heard how I did in the presentation. But…Lisa’s the first one to tell us when we’ve done something wrong. (She laughs) Sucks…(To Lisa, who has just arrived with others from Teen Vogue) Hi.

Lauren: Hi.

Lisa: Hi how are you?

Lisa: Whitney you’re over here. (They all sit down) Well while we’re waiting for…um…I spoke to Amy this morning and she said the meeting went well and they said that the whole presentation was great. Overall, New York is very excited about the party. I heard about the dress you were wearing.

Whitney: Was it bad?

Lisa: Well it was very dressy, wasn’t it? (Whitney has a oh my god look on her face as everyone laughs) Well I will expect you to be in the office like that every day now. (They all laugh)

Whitney: Cheers.

Guy: Cheers. (They all hold their glasses up)

Whitney: To the Young Hollywood party.

CUT TO: That Night – Hillside Villas

The doorbell rings. Lauren goes to the door and opens it and it is Brody.

Brody: Surprise!

Lauren: Hello!

Brody: What up? (She gives him a hug) Oh! The two hug! I don’t get the one arm hug?

Lauren: Come on in. (She shuts the door after he comes inside)

Brody: A lot of candles in here. You trying to set the mood here? (They sit down on the couch) So what about New York? Tell me. How’d it go?

Lauren: It went really well. Basically we got there and she was like…I didn’t even know what I was doing when I went to the meeting and she like sent me away immediately to go downtown and go to the model casting for Marc Jacobs and I got to help out and I actually got to meet him. Um…So are you okay? What’s goin’ on?

Brody: Yeah I uh…Spencer…

Lauren: Spencer?

Brody: He called and left me a message. He was reaching out, he misses me and, you know…So I haven’t called him back yet and I don’t think I’m going to.

Lauren: You don’t want to make up with him?

Brody: You know, I love Spencer but I don’t think I could ever look at him the same ever. It’s like I just don’t ever think that we’ll be best friends again.

Lauren: Well I know that the reason like you guys stopped, stopped talking was because he was bothered that you were hanging out with me. I just don’t want to be responsible at all for breaking up a friendship, especially not one that lasted so long, you know what I mean?

Brody: I made this decision. I…the only reason why I don’t want to talk to him is for my own reasons. So listen. I think there’s too many pillows in between us. Maybe you know scoot a little and come give me a hug or something? (She scoots over and he outs his arm around her) Oh…Give me a hug. All right. (She moves a little and then leans on him) Now I’m cozy.

Lauren: Are you?

Brody: A little bit. How about we forget all the BS? I’ll always be there for you and you’ll always be there for me.

Lauren: Okay.

Brody: Okay?

Lauren: K. (He kisses the top of her head) My candles worked, didn’t they?

Brody: They did actually. (She laughs) What you got in those things? (It cuts to an air view of the city)
