Date with Love Page #6

---

You upset me.

I'll make sure

she leaves a big tip,

if that's what's bothering you.

You know,

you're really an idiot.

You know that?

Look, I'm just having

a great night, okay,

and I...

Why can't you just be happy

for me?

Everything okay?

Yeah, that was just...

Watts.

She gets kind of weird

sometimes.

You are trending

across all

of your social media accounts

right now.

Everybody in here must be

posting something about you.

Do you think

there's anything on this menu

that isn't fried?

Be nice.

People

are watching.

Hi, David.

Oh...

Hi.

I saw

your promposal video.

I was very impressed.

Thanks.

I wish a guy would do

something like that for me.

Good luck.

It wasn't that big

of a deal.

It certainly

was a big deal!

David's video's

all over the news.

He's famous.

I bet you're glad

I didn't go to prom with you

after all, huh?

David is the best date ever.

We're having so much fun

tonight, aren't we?

Yeah!

Alex Allen,

Courtney Cordell.

It's very nice to meet you.

Mm...

Are you a friend

of David's?

Oh, yes,

I've known David for years.

We go way back.

Alex, could I get

a picture with you?

Absolutely.

You want me

to take it?

Yes.

There you go.

You know,

I have an idea.

David, why don't you

be in the picture, too?

Whoa, what?

O... kay....

Ready?

One, two, three.

Perfect.

Oh, it's perfect.

Thanks so much, Alex.

You're the best.

You know she's just going

to crop David

out of that picture.

She can't.

That's why I put him

in the middle.

Yeah, so, uh...

That was Courtney.

She was the last girl

to turn me down for prom.

You know, I still can't believe

it was that difficult for you

to get a prom date.

Uh...

I did get rejected

about... 15 times.

Wow.

Yeah.

Okay.

Here we go.

Four diet sodas.

It's our finest vintage.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Why didn't you ask Heidi?

They're just friends.

Yeah, and also, she thinks

prom is stupid anyway.

Well, let me tell you

something.

If you were in my class

back when I was in school,

I would have been thrilled

if you asked me to the prom.

Really?

Mm-hmm, and I definitely

would have said yes.

I had a lot of fun

tonight, Alex.

For the first time,

I kind of felt like

I belonged at that place.

I'm glad!

I had fun, too.

I was just wondering...

I know I'm only in high school,

but maybe, say,

a few years from now...

David...

You're a great kid,

and someday,

you are going to make

some girl very happy.

But not you.

Not me.

Besides, as far as

Hollywood's concerned,

I'll be 29 forever,

so eventually,

you'll just be too old for me,

and it wouldn't work.

Well, can't really blame a guy

for trying, right?

Good night, David.

I will see you

in school tomorrow.

You walk in beauty

like the morning sun,

arising with the hope of love.

Your heart beats with

the passion of your courage,

the strength

of your determination,

and the gentle kindness

of an ageless soul.

You are to me

a dream made real,

one from which

i hope to never awake.

So what do you say, Alex?

Will you take a chance on me

and be my date to the prom?

Hello?

Alex, I need you to...

Um...

Who were you calling?

Nobody.

You can't just go around

taking other people's words

and calling them your own.

It's called plagiarism.

I'm really sorry,

Mr. Walsh.

Look...

No harm, no foul.

Just next time...

Write something

of your own, okay?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Walsh?

Do you have a moment?

Certainly.

My name is Paige,

Paige Sumner.

I'm Alex Allen's

publicist.

What can I do for you?

It has come to my attention

that you and my client,

miss Allen,

have become,

for want of a better word,

an item.

I wouldn't exactly

call it that.

Well, whatever it is

you want to call it,

I need to keep it

out of the press,

print and electronic.

That means

it needs to stop.

Is this coming from you,

or from Alex?

As her publicist and friend,

I speak for both of us.

Look, she came here

to go to the prom

with David Rogers.

I understand that,

and I'm not getting...

So this is not

an opportunity

for you to make money,

Mr. Walsh.

What?

I will not have you selling

my client to the media.

Is that what you think

this is about?

Let me put it like this.

If your relationship with Alex

becomes public,

so will your entire life.

I have nothing to hide.

Everyone has something

to hide, Mr. Walsh.

Remember that.

It's me.

I need you to do

a background search

on one of the

school teachers up here.

J.W. Hughes high.

Yeah, his name is Vincent Walsh.

Trevor...

That's my set decorator,

sent over these designs

for the prom.

Miss Allen,

they look very ambitious.

Ah, well, that's Trevor.

Once he gets his mind

set on something,

the sky's the limit.

So we're going to go with

an old Hollywood glamour theme.

Classic movies,

classic movie stars.

Are those

mirror balls?

Of course, you can't have prom

without mirror balls.

But 10 of them?

And what does that mean...

"Black and white,

no exceptions"?

Oh, that's

Trevor's color scheme

for the evening.

It's based

on hurrell.

The photographer?

Anyway, everyone has to come

dressed in black and white.

But miss Allen,

many of the students

and faculty

have already purchased

their prom wear.

Okay, we can compromise,

I guess.

Let's say the girls can wear

whatever they want,

and the boys have to come

dressed in black and white.

Otherwise,

Trevor will have a heart attack.

Um, maybe we could

simplify this

just a little bit.

I mean, it's a lot to take in.

Bree, do you want

to have a prom to remember?

Yes, but...

So do I.

What else you got?

Now, over here,

wind machines...

Wind machines?

Yeah...

And then this will be

the lounge area,

so that's not dancing,

you can just chill out.

Right.

Oh, Vincent...

Sorry, I was in a meeting.

What did I miss?

Oh, nothing.

Except little miss

movie star in there

is turning the prom

into her very own

personal academy awards.

I'm sure it's not

as bad as all that.

It's worse,

but I'm going to

put a stop to this,

once and for all.

I know.

Hi.

Oh, my gosh, you really...

Where's Alex?

She's still working

on the prom.

This seat's taken.

Okay, sorry.

I swear, I have no idea

why he'd come around.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Hey.

Why aren't you sitting

with your new friends

over there?

I don't need

a mercy lunch.

Shut up, watts.

So, where's

your prom date?

Still in the gym.

She and miss hope have been

arguing about balloon shapes

for an hour.

Oh.

Look, I'm sorry

about the other night

at the burger barn.

Don't...

Don't worry.

No, I was being an idiot,

and I really am sorry.

This whole thing has just

gone to my head, I guess.

You know,

you asked me

why I couldn't just be happy

for you?

The thing is, I've always

been happy for you.

You're, like,

the best person I know.

Watts...

No, it's true,

and just between us,

that promposal that you wrote

was pretty amazing.

I'm really proud

of you, Rogers.

Yeah, about that...
