Not even your parents.

Why? They're not gonna go post it

on their blog or anything.

Look, if we go down there, if we get

photographed together, it'll get crazy.

- And I won't get this movie deal.

- Why does it have to get crazy?

Because I'm Christopher Wilde.

You're just an ordinary girl.

I have to go now.

Wait, Jess! Jess! Wait, wait, wait.

Hold on. What just happened?

You tell me. One second I'm amazing

and the next you're embarrassed

to be seen with me?

- Jess, I'm not embarrassed...

- Really?

If I was Alexis Bender,

you'd rush right down there

and make sure

somebody took our picture.

- But, no, I'm just an ordinary girl!

- That is not what I meant.

Look, I meant you're normal.

I want you to stay that way.

Right. Just leave me alone.

Jess. Stop. Please.

What?

The pictures you took. Of us.

I should probably keep them.

- You want my camera?

- Just in case.

I wouldn't want the pictures to,

you know, get out.

Fine. You want my pictures? Here.

There's nothing

I'd wanna remember anyway.

I need cab fare to get home.

- I'm going to Hollywood, not Hawaii.

- Just keep it.

I still owe you for my stay

at Garage de la Grandma.

Jess, wait.

I don't wanna say goodbye like this.

Okay, how about this?

How about we both forget

this whole day ever happened?

You won't talk about me

and I promise I won't talk about you.

Go ahead and judge me, okay,

but you don't know what it'll be like.

The paparazzi never go away.

And once they have you in their sights,

they won't quit

until they get what they want.

And when they finally get it,

they'll turn it into something ugly.

They'll ruin everything.

They don't have to. You already did.

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 wanna 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

Could you be the one

Could you be the one for me?

Then I'll be your hero

Could you be the one

Could you be the one

Could you be the one for me?

Then I'll be your hero

Searching high and low

Trying every road

But if I see your face

how will I know, yeah

I'll put my trust in fate

That you will come my way

And if it's right, it's undeniable, yeah

I'll be your hero

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

Could you be the one

Could you be the one

Could you be the one for me?

I'll be your hero

Could you be the one

Could you be the one

Could you be the one for me?

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 your hero

I, I could 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

Could you be the one

Could you be the one

Could you be the one for me?

Then I'll be your hero

Could you be the one

Could you be the one for me?

Then I'll be your hero

That was great, Chris. Take five.

Thanks, guys. That was great.

Let's take a break.

All right, man.

- Good job, guys. Yeah.

- Hey, wait up.

Yo. You okay?

Yeah. Yeah,

I just can't get her out of my mind.

Yeah, me neither.

She cacked all over my shoes.

I mean, she's real, you know?

She's annoyingly honest, she's smart,

she's cool, she's funny, she's beautiful.

Yeah.

Hello, boys.

Talking about me?

Dude.

- Look, Alexis, I can explain...

- I don't want to know who she is.

Is she an actress?

Is she more famous than me?

No. No, she's not an actress.

She's not famous at all.

Then I really don't understand

why you would pick her.

I didn't pick her.

It just kind of happened.

Silly. That kind of stuff

only happens in the movies.

This is the real world.

I have a date with Zac. I have to go.

Whoa. Are you breaking up with me?

Okay.

- Friends?

- Sure.

- Bye, Grandma. I love you.

- Goodbye, Sara. I love you more.

- You sure you're gonna be okay, Mom?

- Yes, Barbara.

And you mustn't believe

what you read about old folks.

- Howard and I are gonna be just fine.

- I can see that.

- Love you.

- Love you. Love you.

And how about you, Jess?

Are you gonna be all right?

Sweetheart. I know it hurts right now,

but things are not always

what they seem in the moment.

Given some time, life has a way

of working itself out for the better.

- Really, Grandma?

- Yup. I mean, look at me.

I've been trying to get rid of that ugly

old car since your grandpa died.

- Honey.

- I love you, Grandma.

I love you, sweetheart.

- Bye, Howard.

- Take care, sweetheart.

You, too.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye.

Bye, everybody!

Jessica Olson.

- Such a nice name for a nice girl.

- Where'd you get that?

Where do you think I got it,

Christopher?

Libby Lam has had a whole fleet

of photographers on you

- for the past two days.

- I know, but I was so careful.

Now, this is exactly the kind of thing

I was afraid of with you, kid.

I mean, you're obviously not serious

about doing this movie.

I don't know,

maybe you're just too young.

No, sir. Look, I made a mistake.

Come on, Alan.

Give us a chance to fix this.

All right, all right.

Make the story go away.

- How do we do that?

- You call Libby Lam.

You offer her an exclusive.

You say you don't know this girl.

You say she's just some fan

who was following you around all day.

- You want me to lie?

- Christopher!

This is the tabloid press, dude.

This is not the Supreme Court.

Say whatever you have to say,

because I promise you, either this girl

goes away or the movie does. Okay?

Goodbye.

So we're talking about this girl,

Jessica Olson.

- Yeah, she looks kind of familiar.

- Come on, Christopher.

We know you were at the beach

with her.

Look, lots of fans come to Malibu

to watch me surf,

and I try to say hi to everybody

that comes up to me, but...

Please.

Maybe I signed an autograph for her

or something.

Excuse us. It's okay.

According to our sources,

she came all the way from Kalamazoo,

Michigan, just to see you.

- Coming through. Enough of that.

- Wow, really?

I'm sorry

I didn't get the chance to meet her.

Going inside.

You have to talk to us, Jess.

What happened out there in California?

Nothing bad, I promise.

I can't talk about it.

Please, please, just trust me.

Christopher Wilde

is talking about you on Starstruck!

So you're saying

that you don't know this girl.

Yeah. I mean, I don't know

what she's saying about me,

but I don't know anybody

named Jessica Olson.
