- No.

Only happens once.

Okay.

Are you sure this is safe?

I'm pretty sure.

- I'm pretty sure it's not!

- Just calm down, okay?

I don't wanna calm down!

I wanna go home! Okay?

- What is wrong with you?

- What's wrong with me?

Nothing. Nothing. I'm looking forward

to being grounded until I'm 30!

Oh, is that why you're so crabby?

- I'm not crabby!

- Not crabby. Defensive.

- I am not defensive.

- See?

You disagree with everything I say.

- Do not!

- Do, too!

- Just take me home!

- I will!

First we need to make one

teeny-tiny little stop.

You've got to be kidding.

- You live here?

- Yeah, why?

- Go, go. Let's go.

- What are you doing?

Got to go upstairs. Got to go.

- Stop pulling me!

- I'm sorry. I just...

Where are we going? Christopher!

- I'm sorry. I just don't know...

- Don't know where to hide me?

No, I'm not hiding you.

It's just that I don't want these

particular people to see you right now.

And because I'm not a movie star.

No! Okay, because I don't want anyone

asking questions and neither do you.

Who is she? Where did you meet her?

Are you two dating?

- Dating?

- Yeah, they make stuff up. Come on.

The guestroom. Be my guest.

- Do I have a choice?

- Not really. I'll be right back.

Just stay.

Woof.

Good to see you.

I'm glad you came. Thanks for coming.

Hey! Hey, how are you?

So nice to see you.

Looking good, buddy.

- Hey. It's about time.

- Hey, Mom.

- How you doing, bud?

- Good to see you.

- Christopher, my daughters.

- Oh, yeah. What's up?

I think they wanted to

ask you something.

- Yeah.

- Can you sing us a song?

Of course, absolutely.

I've got something new I'm working on.

- Can you grab me a stool?

- Sure, Chris.

- You know where your guitar is?

- Yeah. Of course.

You're gonna love this.

Hey, everybody.

This is a little something

I'm working on for my next album.

I hope you like it.

I'm no superman

I can't take your hand

And fly you anywhere

you wanna go, yeah

I can't read your mind

Like a billboard sign

And tell you everything

you want to hear

But I'll be your hero

'Cause I, I can be everything you need

If you're the one for me

Like gravity, I'll be unstoppable

I, yeah, I believe in destiny

I may be an ordinary guy

with heart and soul

But if you're the one for me

Then I'll be your hero

Oh, I'll be your hero, yeah

I'll be your hero

So incredible

Some kind of miracle

That when it's meant to be

I'll become a hero, oh

So I'll wait, wait, wait, wait for you

Yeah, I'll be a hero, yeah

'Cause I, I can be everything you need

If you're the one for me

Like gravity, I'll be unstoppable

I, yeah, I believe in destiny

I may be an ordinary guy

with heart and soul

But if you're the one for me

I'll be your hero

Yeah, yeah, I'll be your hero

Yeah, I'll be your hero

Hero

Great. Great.

So, girls, am I the greatest Dad

in the world or what?

Hey! Where you going?

Anywhere but here.

What did I do now?

You said you'd take me home. When?

Just pick a car. I'll take you home.

- No!

- Fine, we'll walk.

- Where does Grandma live again?

- Hollywood.

Oh, that's great.

We'll get there on Tuesday.

- Okay.

- Okay?

But here are the rules.

You drive me straight there,

drop me off,

and then you come back

to your fabulous life.

What's the purpose of that?

I don't get it.

Why does she do this?

There's something about

the sunshine, baby

I'm seeing you in a whole new light

Really?

What? I thought you'd like it.

Let me guess.

You thought I'd be dying to ride

in a car with Christopher Wilde

as he sings to one of his big hits.

A fan's dream come true!

There's just one problem.

- Which is?

- I'm not your fan.

You don't... You don't like my music?

No, I like your music.

I'm just not crazy about you.

- But you don't even know me.

- Precisely.

You know, I think if you...

I think if you did know me,

- you'd really like me.

- Turn here.

- Thanks for the ride.

- Hey, look, Jessica.

Look, I just wanna say I'm sorry.

Noted. Are we done now?

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I guess we're done.

- Good.

Okay, bye.

Oh, great.

Go away.

Look, I'll give you $5,000

if you do me this favour.

It's not a favour if you pay for it.

So is that a yes?

You know, you can help a little.

No, this car wouldn't be moving

if I wasn't pushing it.

You'll be out of here before morning,

right?

Yes. Hopefully no one will ever know

I was here.

I'll know.

- Thank you. Thanks a lot.

- Yeah.

Hey, is there anything up there

that I can wear

so when I do leave,

the paparazzi won't recognise me?

You can look in those.

So, is all this really necessary?

Yes. Clearly you don't understand.

They're everywhere.

Paranoid.

You know what? Just forget it.

Love to.

Well?

That was my grandpa's hat.

He used to wear it

when he took me fishing.

Oh, wow. I'm sorry. Here.

No. You keep it.

It looks kind of good on you.

Thanks.

Anything else?

No. No, I'm cool.

Yeah.

So cool you're sleeping in your car.

Jessica.

- Stop doing that!

- What am I doing?

Oh, you know exactly

what you're doing.

In fact, I bet you do it all the time.

You give girls that look

and expect them to fall for you.

Well, it's not working with me,

so get over it!

Eat up. We're helping Grandma

with some yard work today.

- Morning, sunshine.

- Hey.

- Syrup, please.

- I didn't see any.

- Mom, got any more syrup?

- Oh, sure. On the shelf in the garage.

I'll get it.

No. I'll get it.

- How was your little cab ride?

- What cab ride?

What cab ride? I am this close

to meeting Christopher Wilde,

and I have to leave because Stubby

tells me that you decided

to take a cab home.

Oh, that cab.

Where did you go? Wait. Don't tell me.

I don't wanna be that bored.

I'll make it up to you.

I'll help you find him.

How are you going to do that?

Let's go... Let's go inside and research.

Mom and Dad don't even need to know.

Mom and Dad

don't need to know what?

- Nothing.

- Nothing.

I don't understand you girls.

- Oh, that's wonderful.

- Yeah, great.

Oh, Sara.

They're doing a story on television

about that boy you like so much.

In there.

Yeah.

- No!

- What is with you?

I don't...

Alexis Bender arrived

at her birthday party last night

without her leading man.

Although no one saw him arrive

at the fabulous Club Under 21,

witnesses confirm that

Christopher Wilde did indeed

make a secret appearance to sing

for the packed house of well-wishers.

Partygoers say the pop star

left the club immediately

following his performance,

only to magically reappear

at his Beverly Hills mansion

several hours later with a different girl.

My sources tell me this mystery girl

might be stealing the heart

of our favourite pop star.

Stop! I wanna see that!

Why? It's all lies. Technically, slander.

Why do you care?

You don't even like him.

I care about the truth.

And I'm pretty sure that's not it.

- Girls, knock it off.

- I know what.

It's a beautiful day. Here.

Take the keys to my car,
