Freaky Friday Page #13

Okay.

Whoa, hold it.

Oh, you're not serious.

No!

Okay, great.

I've got I.D. For once.

Thanks.

So, it's a good crowd out there.

Anna, what are you doing?

What's wrong?

I can't do this.

Since when do you get nervous?

No, I really can't.

Come on, you rock

harder than anyone I know.

Well, the rocking may be

in short supply tonight, girls.

- What do you mean?

- I'm just not myself.

Anna, I know you're stressing.

We all are, and I know that

maybe it won't be brilliant,

but we'll forgive each other.

We'll find some way

to laugh about it.

Right now, I just really want us

to take this shot, okay?

We'll still love you,

even if it blows.

Yeah.

Okay, okay, okay, I'll try.

I mean, how hard can it be?

So don't forget

we changed the chord

progression in the first verse

from C-C-D to C-D-C.

You play notes?

I mean, I just thought we

could play in the key of "rock"!

Yeah, okay.

Let's fix your hair.

Yeah, what's with the bun?

Mrs. Coleman!

Jake, stop!

You're running away from him.

Jake, if you like me at all,

you will just leave me alone.

Yeah, but...

Please, no!

Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome to the stage

the next act in the KllSFM

Wango Tango auditions,

from right here in Los Angeles,

let's give it up for Pink Slip!

Do something!

- What are you doing?

- I can't do this!

No, it's okay.

I unplugged you.

Just fake it.

I don't even know

how to do that.

You can't tell me you never

went to a rock concert.

- I saw the Stones once.

- Great!

Just go out and act like Keith!

Keith, right, yeah.

Richards, Mom!

I knew that.

Just go act like Keith.

Act like Keith.

Not the behavior?

No, just the playing!

Now get out there!

Your solo's coming!

Whoo!

Anna, you rock!

It's early, but I think

you are definitely in.

All right!

- Are we in?

- Yes!

Oh, it was terrifying.

I had no idea what it takes.

- The guts.

- Thanks.

It's exciting.

Your music.

- It's not noise?

- Most definitely not noise.

Oh, my God!

Ryan!

Anna?

My first wedding

went like this, you know.

My first wedding

went like this, you know.

- Like what?

- She ran away with the florist.

Whole thing

went right down the tubes.

Don't make me hurt you.

There she is.

Look, look, look.

Mom, what's wrong?

I have to ask you

to do something for me.

Sure, whatever. After what you

just did for me, anything.

It needs to happen before

the toasts and speeches.

Okay.

Clearly, we're not

switching back tonight.

I need you to tell Ryan you

need to postpone the wedding.

What?

No, listen, I can see

you're not ready for this.

And I can wait.

I guess I was so happy,

I wasn't thinking about

what's best for you and Harry.

But, Mom.

If he loves me like I think

he does, he'll wait, too.

He'll understand.

He'll be very sweet

and gracious about it.

But please.

Just please let him know

that I love him.

And be as kind as you

possibly can for me.

Okay, Mom.

I know exactly what to say.

I'll be along in a minute.

You should sit down.

[Glass dings]

Hi.

I guess

I'm gonna start the toasts.

So, three years ago,

we had a really bad thing

happen in our family.

We lost a father and a husband,

and I didn't think we'd ever

be able to get over it.

But then...

This guy next to me

came into the picture.

And everybody could see

I was happy again.

I was singing

in the shower again.

Not well, I might add.

But I was still really worried

about my kids, Anna and Harry.

Whether they'd be able to accept

a new man in their life.

And now I know how Anna feels.

And what she feels is that...

No one could ever

take the place of her dad...

Because he was

a really great dad.

But somebody could be

part of a new family.
