PART 2K
[Delia wakes up and realizes that Rachel and Carissa are still asleep.
She leaves Rachel's room and walks into her own. She carefully steps
over Zac on the floor and sits on the edge of her bed, watching Isaac sleep.
She pushes a piece of hair out of his eyes and he opens them.]
DELIA: [softly] Hey there. Did you sleep well?
ISAAC: Yeah. I dreamed about you. [Delia smiles an
kisses him]
DELIA: Yuck--morning breath. [Isaac laughs weakly]
Honey if you're tired, go back to sleep.
ISAAC: I'd rather stay up with you. What time is is, anyway?
DELIA: 6:30
ISAAC: A.M.? They have one of those?
DELIA: Yes, Isaac, they have one of those. Wow, you should
see this sunrise. [Isaac gets up and sits next to her. He takes
her hand]. Do you realize that the last time we spent the night in
the same house we were, like, 10.
ISAAC: Yeah. Delia, I'm glad we took this slow and we were
friends for so long before. Otherwise we might have ended up like
Rachel and Zac.
DELIA: Rae is really trying to change. She wants to go
somewhere I life. I'm just glad that she realized on her own that
she needed to change her attitude and, um, habits.
ISAAC: Do you think she'll pick Zac or Tay?
DELIA: I don't know. When we were little, Taylor was Rae's
best friend. But--I really believe that sheloves them both.
ISAAC: And they both love her. Zac would do anything for
her. I know she's your sister, and I love her to death, but I can't
understand why. I know she doesn't do it on purpose, but lets face
it, she doesn't always treat him right and he just takes it.
DELIA: I know, you're right. She'll change one day.
Ever since we moved out here she's been a lot different. She's caring
less and less about her past and working more on the future. She
has this friend, Jeremy, and he really likes her, so he asked her out.
Naturally she covered herself with the lame-ass Tyler story, but she told
me she wants a friend who just happens to be a boy, not a boyfriend where
everything is sexual. She said she's sick of it, and I don't blame
her. She wants to hang out with him, not hang on him. Like
me and you.
ISAAC: Are you serious? She said that? She wants
a relationship like ours?
DELIA: Yeah.
ZAC: [rolls over and slams into the dresseur] [sleepy]
Ow. [looks up] Am I interrupting a "moment"?
ISAAC: Nah--morning Zac
DELIA: Sleep well?
ZAC: Until I was mauled by the dresser. Damn I'm
tired.
ISAAC: Did you know there is such a thing as 6:30 a.m.?
ZAC: For real? Wow--oh my back. Its killing me.
[stretches out]
DELIA: Zac, are you still sleepy?
ZAC: Only a lot [Delia smiles]
DELIA: I'll let you get back to sleep. Bye guys.
ZAC: [muffled, has his face in a pillow] Bye
[Later that morning, everyone in kitchen eating]
TAYLOR: [half asleep, eyelids keep dropping] So--what are
we doing today?
RACHEL: Ember's birthday party
ZAC: [holding Ember on his lap] Yup--so what are you gonna
tell everyone when we meet them?
RACHEL: I guess the truth
CARISSA: Me, Delia, Rachel and our friends Cara and Katie are
the only Hanson fans, so no one hass really caught on.
DELIA: I'm a fan of the family
RACHEL: Me too. The music, though?
DELIA, RACHEL: Nah [Taylor glares at them]
RACHEL: Joel has even kept his mouth shut surprisingly enough.
Katie thinks its so cool I have a duaghter born in August named Ember,
just like Zac. [Zac laughs]
CARISSA: Yeah--Katie's amazed
KAREN: Its actually quite funny
DIANA: I can imagine
DELIA: So I guess we tell everyone the truth
RACHEL: Yeah. Carissa, Delia and I are going to get decorations.
Can you watch Ember?
ZAC: Of course we can
RACHEL: Thanks. Come on, guys. Lets go. [Carissa,
Delia and Rachel leave] [People clean up kitchen and go off to do other
things. Only ones left in kitchen are Karen and Taylor}
TAYLOR: Karen, can I talk to you?
KAREN: Sure, hon, whats up?
TAYLOR: Are we ruining everything for them by being here?
KAREN: What do you mean?
TAYLOR: Well, I know one of the reasons Rachel's is doing so
well out here, and Delia too, is that no one here really knows about our
relationship with them.
KAREN: Taylor, yeah, that is true, I'm not going to lie to you.
But if you're all thinking about being somewhere else, talk it over with
the girls. See what they want. But a lot o fthose people here
today are going with us to the concert. Remember when we needed all
those tickets?
TAYLOR: Oh yeah--but still, maybe they won't have to explain.
They shouldn't have to.
KAREN: Talk to them.
TAYLOR: [nods] Okay, thanks Karen. [gets up and leaves
the kitchen. Goes into living room where Zac and Isaac are watching
MTV]
ISAAC: Hey, Tay, guess what.
TAYLOR: Huh?
ISAAC: According to MTV and some reastaraunt that I don't
remember the name to, you took that blonde chick from M2M to dinner and
now you're a couple.
TAYLOR: Really? What happened to all of my other girlfriends?
[Isaac shrugs] Man, Wish I would have been there. Ike, Zac,
I was talking to Karen. . .do you think we're gonna screw up things for
the girls by being here?
ISAAC: I was wondering that myself. What did Karen say?
TAYLOR: To talk to the girls
ZAC: I wanna be here for Ember [sits on the floor and plays with
the big blocks with Ember] especially since its her birthday, but
Rae and Delia don't need us ruining everything.
ISAAC: When they get back, lets talk to them about it.
I'm perfectly willing to not be here.
ZAC: Me too. Well, if its gonna screw things up.
ISAAC: But Zac, you have a right to be here.
ZAC: So do you and Tay
TAYLOR: But Ember is your daughter
ZAC: And Rachel and Delia are my friends. I don't want
to make their lives hell [Delia and Rachel walk in.]
DELIA: Hey [kisses Ike, sets down bags] Carissa went home to
get ready for the party
TAYLOR: Did you tell anyone besides Carissa that we're here?
RACHEL: Not yet. We'll explain at the party
ISAAC: Actually, you won't have to.
DELIA: What?
TAYLOR: Well, we feel kinda bad that we're here and you guys
are gonna look like jerks for lying
ZAC: So we thought that we could go away for a few hours
RACHEL: Zac, no. Your Ember's father, you should be here.
ZAC: I'll have plenty of time after the party to be with her.
Besides, I don't know about Ike and Tay, but I don't know anyone.
I'd feel really out of place.
ISAAC, TAYLOR: [nod] Yeah
TAYLOR: Its like, holiday syndrom. All these people come
over to your house for something and it makes you uncomfortable, like your
a stranger in your own home, and then. . .
ISAAC: Taylor, be quiet before you hurt yourself. Look,
we can go to the movies or something
DELIA: If you really want to. . .
TAYLOR: Only if you want us to go. If you don't. . .
RACHEL: Double-edged sword. If we say we do, then we're
mean and if we say we don't, then we're lying. Look, I really don't
mind either way. Stay or go. But all of our friends are gonna
be at the concert. Plus you'll all be here for a few weeks, sot hey
might find out anyway.
TAYLOR: But we might be able to prevent it. We're going.
Or at least I am.
DELIA: Okay
ISAAC: Are you okay with that?
DELIA, RACHEL: Yeah
[At the party. Lots of friends there, eating, drinking and being
merry.]
CARISSA: Where are they?
RACHEL: Movie--they didn't want us to have to tell everyone we
lied to them. [Jeremy comes up behind Rachel and lays his hands on
her shoulders]
JEREMY: Hey, there. Excited for the Hanson concert.
RACHEL: A little
JEREMY: I still can't believe you talked us all into going
RACHEL: You ready for school?
JEREMY: I think so. You?
RACHEL: Are you nuts? A new school? I don't think
so.
KATIE: [Walks up to them holding Ember] Well, I'm excited.
I can't wait to see Taylor tomorrow night. I can't believe you got
us all front row.
RACHEL: What can I say? I'm the miracle worker.
JOEL: Hey--
RACHEL: Hi Joel. Enjoying the party?
JOEL: Food's good.
DELIA: Glad to hear it.
JEREMY: Well, Miss Rachel, Miss Ember and Miss Delia, its been
a pleasure but its time for me to go.
DELIA: Yeah, people are starting to leave.
RACHEL: Thanks for stopping by
JEREMY: But of course. See ya.
DELIA, RACHEL: Bye
KATIE: I guess I should go too.
DELIA: Okay, see ya.
KATIE: Bye [Everyone else leaves]
[Isaac, Taylor and Zac wak into the house as Rachel and Delia re cleaing
up. All three boys look extremely irritated.]
TAYLOR: Can you believe it?
ISAAC: Oh, I know. It was terrible.
RACHEL: What happened? Bad movie?
TAYLOR: We ran into some fans
ZAC: And they sat with us
ISAAC: Throughout the entire movie
ZAC: But we didn't see much of the movie.
TAYLOR: Cause they talked to us the whole time
ISAAC: And we just kept wishing that we would have stayed here
and ruined your lives
TAYLOR: Because, dang, were they annoying
ZAC: We had a horrible time. . .Where's my Ember?
RACHEL: In her room playing
DELIA: [takes Isaac's hands and kisses him] The party was
so boring especially compared to your eventful day
ISAAC: [groans] Don't remind me
RACHEL: Ya know, you guys have concert tomorrow and I'm real
tired so I think I'll get ot bed
ZAC: I'll be up
RACHEL: What?
ZAC: Well, we're sharing a room, right? I'll come up, put
Ember to bed, then I'll be over.
RACHEL: Okay, [smiles, goes upstairs]
ZAC: I guess I'm going to bed, too
TAYLOR: Yeah--we need our rest for tomorrow
ZAC: [walks upstairs into Ember's room] Hey, Ember, ya
wanna go to bed?
EMBER: No!
ZAC: Yes, you do. Come on, Ember. [Picks her up,
she starts screaming] Ember, listen, I'm going to bed, too. [puts
her in her crib] I think we both need our rest. [lays her down
and covers her with a blanket.] Night, sweetheart. [goes into
Rachel's room. She's laying on her bed] Hey--how are we doing
this sleeping arrangement?
RACHEL: I've got a queen-sized bed, Zac, we'll share. I'm
not giving you a bad back from sleeping on the floor.
ZAC: Um. . .okay. Am I just supposed to change here in
front of you?
RACHEL: Go to the bathroom, Zac
ZAC: Okay [zac leaves room]
[Next day, Isaac, Taylor, Zac are at the stadium rehearsing]
ZAC: Tay, you're flat
TAYLOR: I'm not flat
ISAAC: If you were even in the same key as us, you'd still be
singing the wrong notes
TAYLOR: Geez, Ike, I'm having an "off" day. Stop harassing
me.
ZAC: Off? Taylor, we're practicing Mmmbop and you aren't
even singing the right words
TAYLOR: We were singing Mmmbop? [Isaac shakes his head]
Okay, I'm sorry. I'm anxious for tonight's performance. Its
harder to perform for people you know than for people you don't know
I'm sorry I'm screwing up.
ZAC: Thats okay, just don't do it tonight
ISAAC: Yeah, Tay, just get it together for the show
TAYLOR: I will--Should we do it again?
ISAAC: No--you should do it again. You're the one messing
it all up.
DIANA: Stop yelling at him, thats my job. Now, all of you
do it again.
[Rachel, Delia, Joel, Brian, Carissa, Katie, jeremy, Cara, Jen and
all other friends enter stadium]
CARISSA: Did you guys get backstage passes?
DELIA: We decided not to
CARA: Aww, why?
DELIA: Dunno, sorry. [get to their seats in first row]
ALEX: I cannot believe you talked us into coming to a Hanson
concert. Its hanson. They suck.
RACHEL: I know
CARA: They do not. I like Hanson
[Backstage. Guys are signing autographs and taking pictures.
Jessica and Avery walk into the room eating.]
JESSICA: Hi!
ISAAC: You guys aren't supposed to be in here
AVERY: We saw RAchel and Delia. They're here with lots
of people.
JESSICA: Oh yeah, Taylor, you're supposed to take your medication
for that weird infection. Make sure you don't give it to the fans.
[Tay glares at her. Fans stare at Jessica and back away from Taylor]
What? I can't help that he got sick.
TAYLOR: I hate you
AVERY: We don't like you either. You must have brainwashed
all these girls because no one in their right mind would like you guys
ZAC: Shut up, Avery
AVERY: Make me, pussy [Zac slaps Avery. Fans gasp]
JESSICA: [jaw drops] Mo-om! Zac hit Avie! [Avery
is crying. Diana walks in]
DIANA: [looks at Avery and kneels down] Aw, sweetheart.
[angry] Zachary! Did you have to hit her? You're stronget
than she is! Look at her-she's got your handprint on her face.
When we get home, you are grounded, young man.
ZAC: I didn't hit her hard. It isn't fair! You never
yell at Ike or Tay when they hit me!
TAYLOR: Yes she does! What are you talking about?
She goes, [imitates Diana] Jordan Taylor Hanson, did you really have to
hit him. Now was that necessary? [normal] No, Mom. [imitates Diana]
Thats enough, Jordan, I am sick of your attitude. Ever since you
were little you thought you were better than the world and you haven't
changed one bit. Now I suggest you go to your room and think about
what you've done
DIANA: I don't say that
ISAAC: [laughs] Yes you do
DIANA: Do I really? [Isaac nods] Hm, interesting.
TAYLOR: And I don't think I'm better than the world
DIANA, ISAAC: Anymore
ZAC: Mom, am I really grounded.
DIANA: I'll talk to your father about it.
ZAC: I'm sunk
TAYLOR: [to fans] Sorry about all of that--congrats, you've seen
the real Hanson [fans all leave to go to their seats]
ZAC: [smirks, then laughs]
TAYLOR: Whats so funny
ZAC: I just realized that in a few years, I'll be the one going,
"Ember, did you really have to hit her? You are grounded!"
DIANA: Zac, are you excited about grounding your daughter
ZAC: Very [tour manager walks in]
TOUR MANAGER: You guys are on in ten minutes. I hope you're
ready because your set is almost up
[guys walk onstage]
JEREMY: This is gonna blow [audience screams] Shut
up!
DELIA: You shut up [guys start concert]
ALEX: This does bite
[guys play a couple songs]
ISAAC: Okay, well, the next song is one I just wrote for the
love of my life who means so mcuh to me--I would die for her.
RACHEL: [smiles] Awww. . .[hugs Delia]
DELIA: [quietly, to herself] He wrote a song for me
[guys play song] Its so sweet.
RACHEL: Wow [looks to Delia. She puts her arms around
Delia and the two watch them perform. Finish song]
TAYLOR: You're actually pretty luck cause this is the last tour
date and you're the first audience we've played this fo--
ISAAC: [Cuts him off] I can't do this
TAYLOR: You can't do what?
ZAC: Oh don't you go screwing up like Tay
TAYLOR: Hey!
ISAAC: Shut up! [looks at Delia] The reason I wrote
that song is because it was for my girlfriend, and I love her. I
love her more than anything else in the world. Without her, I would
be lost and I could not go on living and she's here tonight. Honey,
I love you, and I know you love me. you're my best friend and I know
we're young, but Delia--will you marry me?
DELIA: [jaw drops] [all their friends stare at her]
ALEX: Delia?
RACHEL: [long] Wow [nudges her] Delia, answer him
ISAAC: [worried] Delia? Will You?
DELIA: [starts to cry, then laughs and nods] Oh course
I'll marry you! [Isaac smiles. Security helps Delia and Rachel
onstage. Isaac and Delia hug and kiss. Delia is still crying.
Rachel is bouncing around like a Mexican Jumping bean. When Isaac
and Delia stop hugging Rachel hugs Isaac.]
RACHEL: Oh, Ikey, I knew you two were perfect for each other
[lets go of Isaac]
ISAAC: You said it was gross
RACHEL: So I changed my mind. I'm so happy for you.
[hugs him again. lets go] Welcome to the family!
DELIA: Rae--can I have my boyfriend back
RACHEL: Actually, he's your fiancee
ISAAC, DELIA: [smile stupidly] Fiancee
TAYLOR: You can't hug Ike again until someone hugs me!
DELIA: Aww, Is Taylor feeling left out again [Tay pouts
and nods] [Delia hugs Taylor and Zac]
ZAC: We're so happy for you two. [Isaac pulls a ring out
of his pocket.]
TAYLOR: Whoa! Look at the size of that rock!
DELIA: [jaw drops again] [long] Wow [he puts
it on her finger] How much did this cost?
ISAAC: Money isn't an issue here
DELIA: Good because I love it
RACHEL: Wow, its pretty and --is that a diamond?
ISAAC: Yeah
ZAC: Diamonds are forever
RACHEL: Thats the biggest biamond I've ever seen
TAYLOR: Its the only diamond you've ever seen

ZAC: Hey, where's Ember? [Hansons come from backstage.
Diana is holding Ember]
DIANA: Here [Hands her to Zac. Hugs Delia] Oh--I'm

Delia
ISAAC: Okay, hold on though, let me say something [grabs
mic] Sorry for the delay, but I would like to present to you, my
fiancee, Delia [Audience screams]
RACHEL: Okay,we'll get off the stage now
