CChauncy
Excuse me, children, please leave this room so that Mr. Reese may speak with his son.
Chase
Hey, come on, this is my room too. [Chauncy offers him a $50 bill] You know, suddenly, I feel like standing in the hallway. Come along, Zoey. Mr. Reese. [leaves the room along with Zoey]
You're giving me half that money.
[Chauncy closes the door after them]
[feeling concerned] What's going on?
MRMalcolm Reese
[holds up a piece of paper] This is the bill for my United Express credit card.
MRMalcolm Reese
$327, 000?
MRMalcolm Reese
Without asking me?
You said I could use the credit card at PCA whenever I wanted.
MRMalcolm Reese
For books, food, maybe a little entertainment.
It's a very entertaining car.
MRMalcolm Reese
It's going back.
MRMalcolm Reese
I'm cutting you off. [Logan looks shocked] No money, no checkbook, no credit cards.
What? Dad, no! [grabs Chauncy by his suit coat] Chauncy, please talk to him!
CChauncy
Let go of my lapels, or I'll poke you in your neck
MRMalcolm Reese
[as Logan faces him] The credit card. [Logan then feebly gives the credit card to him] Chauncy?
[Chauncy then takes out a pair of scissors]
[now getting frantic] What, what, what? No, no! Wait! No, no! [Malcolm takes the scissors from Chauncy and cuts the credit card in half, causing Logan to scream] [Malcolm then hands the destroyed credit card back to his distressed son, and returns the scissors to Chauncy, before walking over and opening the room's door] Dad!
MRMalcolm Reese
Gentlemen, take the plasma screen, the laptop, the stereo, and all that stuff there.
[Two movers enter the room, head over to Logan's stereo and start to unplug it]
[realizing that his dad is not only taking away his money but also his luxury items as well] No, no! Dad, please! Why? Why the stereo? I need the stereo, I have to listen to music! [The movers pick up and carry away the stereo as Logan continues to plead] Oh, no, please! Put it down! Dad, please! Please! [Malcolm continues to stand firm, ignoring his son's pleas, as the movers return, unplug the plasma screen TV, and carry it out of the room] No! Dad, not the plasma screen! No! Noooooooooooooooooo! [collapses to his knees in distress]
Chase
I miss Logan's plasma screen.
Why couldn't his dad had've taken Logan away and left all the cool stuff? (Logan walks into the room) What's up, poor boy? (Chuckles)
Yeah, you've looked better.
Chase
What's wrong with your hair?
Juanita didn't fluff it. That's what's wrong with it.
The lunch lady. I used to pay her to blow dry and fluff my hair every morning, which is why I'd look so awesome. But now since my evil father closed my bank account, I can't pay her to do it anymore.
There he is. What are you doing?
You were supposed to meet us at Sushi Rox.
Chase
I am, but I invited Gretchen, and she's a little late.
Oh, why'd you invite Gretchen?
Chase
'Cause she's my bud. I'll go see if I can find her in the hall.
What's wrong with him? Why can't he see that Gretchen's disgusting?
Tsk. Because she looks like Zoey.
Then Chase needs a psychiatrist.
Ah, give the boy a break.
Dude. Trying to replace a girl with another girl just 'cause they look alike, that's a little sick.
Then why do you take at least a hundred digital pictures of yourself every week?
'Cause I have movie star good looks.
See that? You're sicker than I thought.
Chase
I saw this in a prison movie.
Chase
Okay, is, uh... (takes his backpack off and puts it down) everything all right?
You gotta quit hanging around with Gretchen.
Chase
Oh, really?
Chase
Why?
Chase
Hey, well, don't hold back.
Come on, you know you wouldn't hang out with that girl in a million years if she didn't... (sighs)
Chase
If she didn't what? (Logan and Michael don't answer) If she didn't what? Just say it.
If she didn't look like Zoey.
Chase
(snorts twice) You guys are ridiculous.
I don't think we're ridiculous.
Chase
Unlock the door.
It's okay that you miss Zoey.
Chase
I don't miss Zoey. Okay, I haven't even thought about her since she left.
You're saying it's just a coincidence that Gretchen looks exactly like Zoey?
Chase
I don't even see a resemblance.
(scoffs) Everybody thinks they look alike!
And that's why you're hanging out with her! She's your little "Zoey replacement," and that's a little bit sick.
Chase
I don't need to hear anything from you guys right now. (as Zoey reads a magazine, a small beep from her computer alerts her that she has a webcam connection, and she begins to watch the conversation) If you cared about me, you wouldn't judge my friends!
So you don't think it's weird that right after she leaves PCA, you make friends with some bizarr-o girl that just happens to look exactly like Zoey?
Chase
Gretchen is a lot of fun.
Ha! Yeah, like the way she spits and picks her nose?
Oh, yeah. Don't forget the fun way she pops her pimples at lunch!
Chase
Unlock the door.
We'll unlock the door when you admit that you miss Zoey.
Chase
Well, then we better order some pizzas and a toilet, 'cause we're gonna be in here for a while.
Why is it so hard for you to just admit it's killing you that Zoey's gone?
Chase
It's hard to admit something that's not true! (Zoey looks upset)
Chase
Enough! Alright?
Chase
Put that down.
Zoey gave you this, right?
Chase
Maybe, just put it down.
Why? If you don't care about Zoey, then why would you care about a stupid little stuffed animal she gave you?
It's cool. Chase doesn't care about it.
Chase
That's right, I don't.
Chase
Good.
Well then I guess it wouldn't bug you if I do this! (rips the head off the giraffe)
Chase
(calms down) I'm sorry!
Chase
I'm sorry!
Chase
You're right... Everything you guys said is true.
We know you miss Zoey, man.
Chase
I don't just miss her... I'm in love with her. I've been in love with Zoey ever since I met her. When she got out of her dad's car, and I saw her standing there, and I rode my bike into that stupid flagpole, (Zoey softly smiles) I was in love with Zoey before I hit the ground, and I don't think that feeling's ever gonna go away. (Zoey looks surprised)
Chase
Zoey transferred back to PCA?!
: Chase moved to England?!
Chase
Michael! Zoey left England. She went back to --
Chase
Zoey. (smiles) So...you're back at PCA.
Yeah. And you're in England...at Covington?
Chase
Uh...yep.
Chase
'Cause you wouldn't go there! To PCA! Or...I thought you wouldn't...which clearly you did. (pauses) Why...did you?
Chase
I missed you too.
And...I, uh...kind of heard something.
Chase
What do you mean?
Well...a few weeks ago, when I was there, and you were here...
Chase
Yeah?
I guess you, or Michael or Logan, left your video chat on...
Chase
Okay...
And I heard you say something.
Chase
Uh...could you be more specific?
(sighs) I heard you say you're in love with me.
Chase
Oh. That's uh...pretty specific. Could you hold on a sec?
Chase
(turns off computer) OH MY GOD!!!! (turns computer back on)
