I've been asleep

for awhile now

You tucked me in

just like a child now.

Morgan:
Trudy!

Hello?

Trudy.

Tru.

Morgan:

Now this was unexpected.

Trudy.

You didn't call me.

I was worried sick about you.

Where were you?

No comment.

Well, you're obviously seeing

someone, so spill.

- Come on, tell me all about him.

- It's no big deaI.

It's just our second date.

He's a dentist.

Okay, well, I'll give him the benefit

of the doubt on that one.

You really like this guy.

So have you slept

with him yet?

Oh, my! I'm so not having

that conversation with you.

No, you haven't.

You just stayed up all night talking,

didn't you?

Yeah, he gave me some

really good advice...

- on medicaI schooI.

- On medicaI schooI?

I figure if you can

reinvent yourself, so can I.

I'm gonna apply.

That is so great.

Welcome back

to the human race.

Thank you, thanks.

And now what about you?

Is the fair the date equivalent

of Discount Darling?

I had a really great time.

Oh, you have a thing

for Eli Wells.

( laughs )

Morgan:
I had this turning in my

stomach, then I realized what it was-

I was happy.

Cherry menthoI inside

I found you hiding

In my bedside pocket

Come along for the ride

Cola bottles

and a sherbet rocket

No one knows

What the future holds...

Trudy:
Bianca, she does

not want to talk to you,

and I don't blame her.

What in the world is

the matter with you two?

This poor kid's gone

from red carpets to rehab

all before her 17th birthday.

No no, you can't come here

untiI you do some

adult-type growing up.

Well, too bad. No.

- Morgan's voice: I had to admit...

- Good night.

...I was impressed.

She was on my side,

and she wasn't even

taking a percentage.

An actuaI first.

Morgan:
Just as I was finally fitting

into Claudia Miller's shoes,

even if they were fugly-

I saw you at the fair,

hooking up with Eli.

There's a name for that, Debbie.

It's called a stalker.

You probably know

all about stalkers, don't you, Morgan?

Morgan's voice:

It took me a second to realize

that she just called me

by my reaI name.

You know, I had my suspicions,

but it seemed impossible,

that whole thing

with "Girls on Top" at the sleepover.

Then last week in film class,

you referred

to Spielberg as Steven.

Are you serious right now?

What the hell

are you doing here?

Researching

for a big movie role?

Debbie, you're crazy.

I'm not Morgan.

Answer me or in minutes

the entire schooI's gonna

know the truth about this.

Okay, come here.

I came here to recover.

It's part of my rehab.

How does Eli fit

into your scheme?

Scheme? It's not a scheme.

I actually really like Eli.

Oh, come on,

you could have Orlando or Justin.

Leave Eli the hell alone.

So that's it? You stay quiet

if I stay away from Eli?

Yeah, and get your bubble-ass

back to LA

where it belongs.

Morgan:

She knows, Sam.

This girI Debbie Ackerson,

she knows.

You were photographed

at a bar holding a drink.

( groans )

I know it sounds totally lame,

but I was holding the drink

for Marissa.

Sam:
You know what?

I can't even go there, Morgan.

If you're stupid enough

to start drinking again,

I'm not gonna watch you

destroy yourself twice.

I swear to you, Sam,

I didn't take a drink.

All right, all right.

Okay, I'm on it.

I'll take care of Debbie.

What do you mean?

Are you gonna have her whacked?

Give her cement shoes?

Dump her in the river?

I'm gonna have to send a lawyer

over there with confidentiality papers.

We're gonna have to

buy her off.

You're gonna have to be very carefuI.

Reporters have picked up the scent now.

All right, be very carefuI

and do me a favor:

Watch for people

following you.

Are you serious?

Okay, all right.

Morgan's voice:
I had to start

thinking like Morgan Carter again.

( sighs )

Man:

We are prepared to pay you...

$5,000.

- $5,000?

- Mm-hmm.

Gee, Mr. Lawyer,

that's so much money

to little old me.

Who do you think I am?

I read the tabloids.

I watch "Extra. "

Add a zero, buddy.

- $50,000?

- Yeah.

Eli! I got a B minus

on my geometry test!

- What? Yeah!

- I know.

- Yeah!

- It's a freakin' miracle!

I was getting worried

and really starting

to think I was dumb.

Yeah, you're hardly dumb.

I could not have done it

without you.

- ( camera shutter clicks )

- Look at this thing.

( sighs )

( camera shutter clicks )

What's wrong?

- I think I'm being followed.

- Followed by who, your dad?

- Did he hire someone?

- Morgan! Morgan!

- Over here, Morgan!

- ( camera shutter clicking )

Morgan, where have you been?

I couldn't go back to the schooI,

so I went to the one place the press

wouldn't look for me- the mall.

Did you look outside?

Yeah, I think half the free press

is out on my lawn.

( clamoring )

Oh, it's gotten worse.

And Sam called. He said that

he and Bianca are coming to get me.

How do they print this

this fast?

Yeah, I believe that you

literally stopped

the Fort Wayne presses.

Oh, I TiVoed

something earlier.

Prepare yourself.

Man on TV:

... none other than Morgan Carter.

And here's what some of her teachers

and classmates had to say:

I met her on the first day,

and we totally hit it off.

Yeah, in my stomach

with a volleyball.

I feeI like we've all been punked.

Miss Carter has been a wonderfuI

addition to our- my schooI.

Well, her cinematic insights

in my class

were incredible, actually.

- A terrific kid.

- We're close personaI friends.

Well, in fact, we've got a project

in development together.

Love you, Morgan.

This is unbelievable.

Everyone's an actor.

Woman on TV:

Excuse me. Excuse me, Eli. Eli.

- No no no. What are you doing?

- Is it true you were dating Morgan

- and had no idea who she was?

- Excuse us, okay?

Woman:

Did she wear a disguise?

- Can you leave him alone?

- How can you not have known?

Because she lied, okay?

She was really good at it.

Now get out of my way.

- Did you see that look on his face?

- Yeah.

I really hurt him.

You know what I would usually do

in a situation like this

where everything just sucked

and I didn't know what to do?

I'd go out

and get really trashed.

But right now I just care

about Eli and Emily.

God. How do I fix this?

Well, you know, the old Morgan

wouldn't have cared.

This is my home.

I felt like I was part

of something.

I like being anonymous.

I like hanging out with you.

I don't even mind baking.

And I don't mind

doing homework,

and I love going to the fair.

Morgan can't do

any of those things.

Maybe not in the same way.

So it's all over?

Man:

All right, let 'em through.

( crowd shouting )

Oh, great, here they come.

- Sam:
Hello!

- Morgan!

Sweetheart, how are you?

I'm terrible, Mom.

How are you?

- Oh, I know we haven't talked-

- Honey, I don't think this is the time.

Actually, you know what, though?

Now is great, so, Mom, let's talk.

Mom, so you and Sam

fell in love

while I was in rehab, and he saw

a totally different side of you.

So when do I get
