Becks Page #3

---

but you are

the first real lesbian

we've ever hung out with.

That's not true.

Rachel Rosenblatt was a lesbian.

Rachel wasn't gay.

Her parents were just divorced.

She tried to kiss me

at one of Chip's parties.

So? You made out with

that swan pool toy once!

Three drinks, this one will

make out with anything.

So how do you come up with

the ideas for your songs?

You know,

Elyse is a singer too.

No, no,

karaoke is not singing.

Oh, come on!

You took guitar.

ELYSE:
That was forever ago.

I could give you lessons,

if you want.

Totally!

Elyse, you have to.

No. Thank you,

but I cannot do what you do.

No, it's true, I need

to have an empty stomach.

ANN:
Rise and shine.

What... is happening?

It's Sunday morning.

Church is happening.

- Jesus Christ!

- That's right.

If you declare with your mouth

that Jesus is Lord

and believe in your heart that

God raised him from the dead,

you will be saved.

I found this dress

in your sister's old stuff

and had it dry-cleaned.

Here, it should fit you.

Oh. I'm Jewish now.

This dress made me Jewish.

Come on.

You're living here rent-free.

The least you can do

is accompany me to church.

- Upsy-daisy.

- Mom, okay, going.

I'm going, but I'm not

wearing this dress.

But now I'm found

Was blind

But now I see

Hey, where are you going?

We've been here

for over an hour.

I think I've paid my rent.

Hello.

Hi. Is this Beck?

Uh, yeah.

It's Elyse from Fleur de Lis

and the show.

Oh, hey, dude, what's up?

How'd you get this number?

From your flyer.

Oh, right.

That's actually

why I'm calling.

I thought about it,

and, well, I have some time,

and I just thought

that maybe...

Oh, yeah, you want

to take guitar lessons?

I mean, if you don't want to,

I completely...

No, yes, yes, awesome.

Absolutely.

Huh.

Good for you.

A mortgage brochure.

Wow. This place is great.

Thanks. My mom decorated,

so it's kinda

more her style than mine.

Well, it's a lot bigger

and better than my no house.

I guess.

So this is where

Mitch the B*tch lives.

Is that really

what everyone called him?

Never to his face.

Wait. He's not here, is he?

- Oh, no, he's at work.

- Oh.

What does he do

that he can afford this place?

He works for my dad

at Edward Jones.

Hmm. Well...

should we tune up?

Yeah, sure, yeah.

Jenny Jenkins

- I told you I'd be rusty.

- That's okay.

So you just wanna get your

finger off the top string,

so the top string

can ring out.

There you go.

Almost, almost.

You want it to sound like this.

You make it look so easy.

Well, it's years of practice.

Most people just give up.

I know.

- You want to try again?

- Yeah.

Is a check okay?

Oh, cash would be

so much better.

Oh, I don't have any on me.

I'm sorry.

Next time?

Sure, yeah.

So how are you

getting used to the Lou?

It must be weird

after New York.

It's fine, you know.

It's a lot cheaper,

so that's nice.

Is it hard to find other,

you know...

Gay people?

No, not if you know

where to look.

- But honestly, I am...

- Hey, honey, I...

- Oh, hi.

- Hey, you're home.

Yeah, your dad

let me out early for once.

Hi.

Oh, you remember Becks.

Of course.

Becks the Wreck.

- Heh heh heh.

- My mom said you were home.

- Yeah, it's been a long time.

- Yeah, it's great to see you.

And I know Dave is psyched

to have you back.

Becks and Dave were like

the ultimate, alterna,

we're-too-cool-for-you

couple.

ELYSE:
Really?

- Yeah.

- You and Dave?

Yeah. I was confused.

Hey, we're going to head to

P.F. Chang's. You wanna join?

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't.

I have another lesson.

Jupiter, Ceres,

Eris, Makemake.

LIZZY:
Why don't you go

play with your brothers,

and you let Mommy

talk to Grandma, okay?

He's really into

space stuff right now.

ANN:
Lizzy,

they're getting too big.

You have to tell them

to stop, okay?

Oh, Rebecca's here.

Honey, it's Lizzy,

come here, come here.

Your sister wants

to say hi real quick.

Hi, Becks!

- Hi, Lizzy.

- Wow!

Look who ended up back home.

Uh, not ending up here.

Just stopping by.

Well, I knew that Lucy

was bad news.

When you come from

money like that...

You know what?

You are so right.

Lizzy, it was really nice

to talk to you.

Text me when you have

another kid!

ANN:
Can't the two of you

at least try to get along once?

Sisters never get along, Mom.

Well, are you gonna

at least come and visit?

It's been over a year.

The kids are growing up.

I'm missing everything.

I know, but would you want

to get on a four-hour flight

with these maniacs?

Honey, Mommy is

talking to Grandma.

Tell you what. As soon as

the boys get a little bigger,

we will come out, okay?

Hey, Caleb,

put that down! Don't...

Mom, I gotta go,

I gotta go.

Do you want a time-out?

[guitar]

[guitar]

Oh, Daddy

Let me go

Up to the hills

Down to the shore

Nobody's crying around here

but you

Let me go

For his love is true

He was wild one

He was a heartbreaking man

Oh, but I loved him

With all that I had

When we met

one summer night

And started falling

Daddy, oh, daddy

Started calling

Will you wear white,

oh, my dear, oh, my dear

Oh, will you wear white,

Jenny Jenkins

No, I won't wear white,

for the color's too bright

I'll buy me

a foldy-roldy, tildy-toldy

Seek-a-double,

use-a-cozza roll to find me

Roll

Jen...

No, E, you got it.

Jenny Jenkins

Then to A.

Roll

Yeah! You got it!

I didn't realize how hard

this was going to be.

My fingers are sore.

You can do some stretches

for that, like this one.

Just pull it out like that.

- Oh, God, that does feel good.

- It does, right?

Do this side.

I'm gonna get some water.

So are you feeling

a little bit more settled now?

It's been nice

hanging with my mom.

I haven't seen her that much

since my dad died.

But I'm not trying

to settle in.

Once I get all my sh*t together,

I'm going back to New York.

Oh, come on,

it's not so bad here.

Well, it certainly beats LA.

You know, I actually saw

a used Maxipad

on the street there once,

and it was somehow sadder

and more disgusting

than anything I'd ever seen

in New York City.

I don't know,

maybe it's not about the place.

Maybe it's...

gotta find the right people.

We're having a barbecue

on Sunday. You should come.

I meant people more like...

Oh, like you?

Don't be such a snob.

It'll be good for you.

[laughing]

Come to my barbecue

[laughs]

All right.

I will absolutely

come to your barbecue

if you play me a B7 chord.

- I know it's...

- Hard.

[upbeat]

Hey! I'm so glad you came.

Yeah. Oh, I don't know

anything about wine,

but in Brooklyn,

the less appealing the name,

the better the bottle.

"Rusty Jigsaw."

That's great.

Here, come on.

So this is Lara and Rich

and Melissa and Bobby.

She's pregnant.

Basically, someone always is.

And you've already met

these ladies.

Well, hello.

Now everyone back off.

No autographs.

Elyse has gotten so into guitar

since you have come around.

So into guitar.

She's really into it.
