PART 2H
[Karen and Rob walk in followed by all of their kids]
ROBBIE:  Where's Avie?
ISAAC:  Why?
ROBBIE: Cause I'm gonna kill her
ZAC:  Oh--okay, she's upstairs
JOEY: I'm gonna go play with Mackie
KAREN:  Okay, hun.  [yells]  Robbie, don't get blood on the carpet.  Hi [shakes Chris's hand] I'm Karen. [to boys]  I need to talk to your [Diana walks in living room] Diana!
ZAC: Our Diana?
KAREN:  We need to talk.
DIANA:  Okay
ROB:  Where's Walker
DIANA:  Basement  [parents leave room]
DELIA:  Hi, Mr.--uh
CHRIS:  Sabec
DELIA:  Mr. Sabec, I'm Delia  [Rachel hands Ember to Zac]
RACHEL:  And I'm [gazes down to tabloid]  looking like a sheepdog!  Who, took this picture
CHRIS:  I'm guessing that you're Rachel
RACHEL:  [nods.  voice distant]  Yeah. . .I'm ugly
TAYLOR:  Rachel
RACHEL:  [shoves paper in his face]  Look at me.
ZAC:  Rae, its a bad picture
RACHEL:  Now the entire world sees me as ugly
TAYLOR:  I don't
ZAC:  Me either
DELIA:  I do
ZAC, TAYLOR, ISAAC, RACHEL:  Delia!
DELIA:  Joking
RACHEL:  This is not a joking matter
DELIA:  Sorry
RACHEL:  This is depressing. Oh--Mr. Sabec, hi.  Sorry for acting so shallow.
CHRIS:  That's all right.
ZAC:  I understand.
TAYLOR:  Yeah, me too
RACHEL: Aww, Zac, you're so sweet.  Now give me my baby.
ZAC:  [hands Ember to Rachel] Who's baby?
RACHEL:  Our baby.
CHRIS:  So this is Ember
ZAC:  Yeah
RACHEL:  Ya wanna hold her?
CHRIS: No, that's okay
ZAC:  C'mon, Chris. Hold her.  [takes Ember from Rachel and hands her to Chris]  Isn't she cute?
CHRIS:  She looks like you.
RACHEL:  Poor baby
ZAC:  I heard that  [Rachel smiles.]  [Zac shakes his head]  You're funny, Rae.
RACHEL:  Thanks, I think
ZAC:  You're welcome, I think.  [Diana and Karen walk back into the living room]
DIANA:  I can't believe that you're leaving.
KAREN:  I know.  But Rob and I wanted to get Rachel away from here.  You know what I mean. I'm in no way suggesting that its because of bad influence from your boys.
DIANA:  Oh--I know.  Rachel made a mistake and its just way too hard for her to restart here.  Pennsylvania will be very good for her.  It will give her a chance to start somewhere where no one knows who she is
KAREN:  Or her history with the boys.
DIANA:  What do you mean?
KAREN:  Well, you know even better than I do, that your boys have their share of people who dislike them.
DIANA:  Ah--yes.  And then people here know about their friendship with Rachel and they think--'Hey, Hanson are losers, Rachel must be a loser.'
RACHEL:  Exactly
TAYLOR:  Do people treat you badly because of us?
RACHEL:  Um, actually, yeah. They do
ZAC:  What od you do about it
RACHEL:  Nothing.  If they don't like me just because you're my friends, then I don't want them to be my friends.
ISAAC:  Do they do that to you too, Delia
DELIA:  Yeah, but I handle it the way that Rachel does.
TAYLOR:  Does it ever make you wish that you weren't our friends.
DELIA: Taylor--how could you even think that?
RACHEL:  Nothing could ever make me with that you weren't my friend.
ZAC:  Does that go for all of us?
DELIA: Yes, all of you
CHRIS: That's so sweet
DIANA:  It actually is sweet
RACHEL:  [smiles]  We'll always be friends--trust me.  You won't get rid of me that easily.  I always want you three as friends.  I don't care what people think of you.  I love you all.
DELIA:  Yeah--we'll be friends for life
ISAAC:  [puts his arms around Delia]  Is that a promise  [Delia nods]
DELIA:  [whispers]  I love you
ISAAC:  [whispers]  I love you, too.  I'm going to miss you
DELIA:  I'm gonna miss you, too
ZAC:  This is the part where we share the coke.
RACHEL:  Zac. . .
ZAC: What?  I like that commercial.
RACHEL:  Wasn't funny
ZAC:  Well, I'm just trying to hide how upset I am.
KAREN:  We'll make sure that you have our new address and phone number  [Walker and Rob walk in]
WALKER:  When are you moving
ROB:  Between May and June.  Probably June--we'll let them finish out the school year here.
DIANA:  Karen, I'll miss you.  You're my best friend.
KAREN:  You're mine, too.
DIANA:  Its not like touring with the boys.  If I come home, you won't be here.  Its going to be terrible.
KAREN:  Well, when you perform near Lebanon, you'll have to stay with us. I will not allow a Hanson to stay in a hotel when you're so nearby.
WALKER:  I'm sure we're all looking forward to it, aren't we, Zachary?
ZAC:  Da-ad.  Not funny.  Not funny at all.
TAYLOR:  Yeah, really, Dad.
RACHEL:  Well, I'm looking forward to it, but that's because I'm going to go crazy without you all.  I don't know what I'm gonna do.
ZAC:  You're going to make new friends completely forget about us.
RACHEL:  Never happen--I have Ember to remind me
ZAC:  [smiles]  My little baby girl
TAYLOR:  Good--cause I don't want you to forget me.  You've all been like a second family to me.  You treat me like I belong and that's meant the world to me.
KAREN:  Taylor--we love you like a son.  We love all of you kids as if you were our own children.  I'm gonna miss all of you.
DIANA:  We're all like family.
ZAC:  Hey, between me and Rae, Tay and Rae, and Isaac and Delia, I won't be surprised if we are one day.
DIANA:  Me either
CHRIS: Yeah--wait. . .Tay and Rae?
KAREN:  Yes, I picked up on that as well
TAYLOR: Loooong story.  Maybe we'll tell it to you sometime
DIANA:  I'll fill you in later.
WALKER:  You better
ROB:  Yeah, I want to know what's going on
DIANA:  Of course--don't worry.  I'll tell you.
KAREN:  Well, we better be going home.  [hugs Diana]
ROB:  [calls]  Robbie!  Joey!  We're going!
JOEY:  [calls down]  Okay!
RACHEL:  Bye [hugs Isaac, Taylor, Zac, Diana and Walker]
DELIA:  Yeah--see ya  [hugs Isaac, Taylor, Zac, Diana, and Walker]
ROBBIE:  Bye bye
DIANA:  Bye Robbie.  Bye Joey
JOEY: Byes
CHRIS:  I should be going as well  [gets up]  Goodbye  [Chris Sabec and Heverlings leave]
[Rachel is in her room with Morgan and Tori]
TORI:  Rae--I'm sorry.  I was so angry with you.  I got out of hand.
RACHEL:  Its okay--it never should have happened in the first place.
TORI:  But it did.  Rachel, I want us to always be friends.
MORGAN:  We need Delia. . .she's our friend, too
DELIA:  [pokes head in door]  Someone say my name?
MORGAN:  Me.  I did.  Tori was saying that she wanted to be friends forever.  And you're our friend too, so we needed you.
DELIA:  Well, the four of us will be friends forever.
RACHEL:  Now I feel like I'm in that movie "Now and Then".  Guys, I'm gonna miss you.  Group hug. [They all hug]
MORGAN:  I'll miss you, too
DELIA:  Our little group has been ripped into thirds.  Me and Rachel in PA, you two here, Hansons touring--its so sad.
TORI:  We'll get to see them on tour.
DELIA:  Yeah--for a night.  One night with Isaac.  I'll have to make it a good memory to keep me going through the hard times.  I'm really going to be lost without him.  Sure, he's left before, but it wasn't too bad.  he would visit--and then we'd have our little bonding times together.  Now, I won't have those little times where he comes home and we just spend all of our time together.  He'll be here, in Tulsa. I'll be in Lebanon.  This sucks.
RACHEL:  I know--poor Ember won't have her daddy.  She knows Zac.  She recognizes him.  She calls him da da da da da.  He's going to miss her first step.
TORI:  School will be over soon.
MORGAN:  3 weeks.  You tell us that you're leaving back in March and I'm still not ready to say goodbye.
TORI:  Me either.  I'm still apologizing for flipping out.
RACHEL:  Our house in Pennsylvania is really nice.  You have our new address, right?
TORI, MORGAN:  Yeah
DELIA:  Good.  You had better write to us
TORI:  Of course we will
MORGAN:  Yup. . .all the time
DELIA:  We have to start packing soon.
RACHEL:  That is going to depress me.
DELIA: Yeah--me too. Leaving this house. . .so much has happened here.
RACHEL:  Oh, I know.  I'm gonna be terrible when its time to go.
DELIA:  Mom has all these boxes in my room.  The depress me.
TORI:  Its just not gonna be the same without you.
MORGAN:  yeah [knock at door]
KAREN:  Its Mom, can I come in?
RACHEL:  Sure  [Karen enters]  What's up?
KAREN:  More boxes  [drops a pile of them on the ground]  Start packing
DELIA:  But we're leaving in three weeks
KAREN:  No we aren't
RACHEL:  We aren't?
KAREN:  Nope.  You are taking your finals this week and we're leaving Friday.  Your father has gotten job there as you know and they need him to start sooner than expected.  Now  [drops a box in front of Rachel]  Pack.  You, too, Delia.  There are boxes in your room.  Oh--and Rae, you'll be in school Monday and Tuesday to finish up, Wednesday and Thursday we'll finish packing and we leave Friday morning.
RACHEL:  Okay--guess I ought to start studying
MORGAN:  Yeah, probably.  But you're a genius so it might not matter.
RACHEL:  Yeah--I'm a prodigee [smiles]  [pulls a box out from under her bed.  Sifts through it]  Oh--look.
TORI: What is it?
RACHEL:  [holds up a picture]  Remember this?
MORGAN:  Yeah, I do.  That was the birthday party for you and Tay.
RACHEL:  I always hated sharing a birthday party with him just because our birthdays were two weeks apart.  I turned 7 that year.
TORI:  I guess we better let you guys pack.
MORGAN:  Yeah--bye.
DELIA, RACHEL:  Bye
DELIA:  Guess we better go pack.
RACHEL:  I guess so.  See ya, Delia.
DELIA:  Bye, Rae.  [leaves room]
[Rachel packs stuff.  Goes to next scene] [Hansons, Beshores, Gettels and Marshalls all at Heverlings.  They are packing up the moving van on Friday morning]
KAREN:  Well, I guess this is it.
DIANA:  Yeah  [they hug]
DAN:  Rachel, I'll miss you. Thanks for actually giving me a chance when no one else would.
RACHEL:  I wouldn't ever give it up.  I'm sorry that it didn't work out.
DAN: Me too.  I guess that this is goodbye.
RACHEL:  Yeah--bye Dan.
DAN:  Goodbye Rachel.
DELIA:  [hugging Isaac]  I don't want to let you go.  I love you so much.  Please don't forget me.
ISAAC:  Delia, you're the best thing in my life.  If it was you or my music, I would pick you. I could never forget you, even if I tried.  You just better not fall for any guys in Pennsylvania.  I don't know what I would do.  Maybe kill him--who knows.
DELIA:  Don't forget to call me.
ISAAC:  You know I will.
ZAC:  Bye, Ember. . .Rachel, you take care of our baby now, ya hear?
RACHEL:  Yes--I hear.  Take care of our baby or you kill me.
ZAC:  Maybe not kill, but close enough.  [Rachel kisses Zac.]  Bye, Rae.
RACHEL:  Bye
WALKER:  I guess the kids are all taking this pretty badly.
ROB:  Yeah--they don't want to say goodbye.
KEN:  This would make a real good movie.
MARCK:  You're so sympathetic, Ken.
KEN:  Well it would.  The boys could play themselves.  Of course, we would have to change it a little to make it fictional.  Rachel could be a drug addict instead of a whore.  Morgan could--
ROB:  You did not just call my daughter a whore.
MARCK:  [to Walker and Devon]  Ken said the "w" word.
DEVON:  The horror!
ROB:  You just called Rachel a whore.
WALKER:  He shouldn't have done that.
KEN:  But, she is.
ROB:  This is an outrage!
KEN:  What?
JULIE:  Now boys, that's enough.
DIANA:  Go to your rooms and think about what you've done.  And furthermore--you're grounded for the rest of your lives.
WALKER:  Funny, dear.
KAREN:  Come on, Rob.  We better go if we want to catch our flight.   The taxis are waiting.  Bye Diana, Bonnie, Julie, Sharon  [all hug]  Lets go
[Robbie, Joey and Rob get into 1 taxi.  Rachel, Karen and Delia get into the other]  [drive away.]
MORGAN:  There they go.
TORI:  Come on, Morgan.  Lets go do something.
MORGAN:  Movie?
TORI:  Sure.  Is that okay.
JULIE, DEVON:  Okay with us
MARCK, SHARON:  Us too
MORGAN:  Thank you, Mommy. Buh bye.
SHARON:  Bye
KEN:  Come on, family, lets go home.  I have a movie to write.
DIANA:  Come on, boys--lets go catch our plane.  We have a concert in Fort Lauderdale tomorrow night.
ISAAC:  Really?
DIANA:  Yep--lets go.  You all better be packed?
ZAC:  Yeah, we are.
AVERY:  C'mon--we're gonna miss our flight.
DIANA:  You're right.  Everyone--to the van!  [go to van.  drive away]
[At the airport]
RACHEL:  I'm scared--what if no one likes me.
DELIA:  Unlikely
KAREN:  Girls. . .come on  [board plane]  Pennsylvania--here we come.
RACHEL:  This sucks
DELIA:  I love how honest you are.
RACHEL:  Why, thank you, Delia.
JOEY:  I don't wanna go!  NO!  Aww, this sucks.
KAREN:  Joey!
JOEY:  Crap!  Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap.
KAREN:  Joey!  Stop!
JOEY:  Crap!  I gots in trouble!
ROB:  Joseph, stop it.
JOEY:  Sorry. . .but crap--I got in trouble!
KAREN, ROB:  Joseph Michael!
JOEY:  I sorry.
ROBBIE:  Joey, you dork.  If you get in trouble, you don't keep saying the word.
JOEY:  What word?  Crap?
ROBBIE:  Yeah, that one.
JOEY:  Oh.  I guess so.
ROBBIE:  Duh--you retard.
ROB:  Robbie, you fool.
ROBBIE:  I'm a fool?
ROB:  You're trying to teach Joey how to not get in trouble, but you're getting yourself in deeper  [Rachel laughs]  Rachel. . .
RACHEL:  Sorry. . .it just sounded funny.  It was ironic and it amused me.
KAREN:  Oh boy--I love you kids
DELIA:  We love you, too
ROB:  Lebanon, watch out.  Here come the Heverlings.
[Next morning.  On Hanson tour bus.  In Fort Lauderdale]
DIANA:  [shaking Taylor]  Tay.  Tay. . .Taylor.  Taylor, wake up.  Jordan!  Get up!  [pulls him off his bunk]  Wake up!
TAYLOR:  [moans]  Good morning to you, too.
DIANA:  Taylor--we've been trying to make you up for an hour.  First Isaac tried, then Zac. . .
TAYLOR:  Zac was up before me?  But he's the one who always sleeps in.
DIANA:  I know.  You must be dead tired.  When did you finally get to bed?
TAYLOR:  About--humm. . .2 a.m.
DIANA:  Geez, Taylor.  Why?
TAYLOR:  I was thinking about the Heverlings leaving Tulsa.  Its so strange.
DIANA:  I know it is, but you can't be losing sleep over it.
TAYLOR:  I know, I'm sorry.  I'll try to get more sleep.
DIANA:  You better.  We don't need you falling asleep at interviews.
TAYLOR:  I know.
DIANA:  Now get out of bed and get dressed.
TAYLOR:  I am out of bed--you pulled me out, remember.
DIANA:  Oh yeah.  [smiles.  rubs his head]  Now go get dressed.
ZAC:  Hello, Taylor.  I see that you've decided to join us in the world instead of living in your bunk.
TAYLOR:  No--I did not decide.
DIANA:  I yanked him out of bed.
ZAC:  Well, its about time.  Ike and I were starting to convince Jess to pretend to be you.  Of course, she thought I was nuts, but still. . .
TAYLOR:  You are nuts.  I'm going to go get dressed.
ZAC: You do that, Tay.  [Taylor goes in bathroom.  Diana and Zac shake their heads]  [Lebanon.  Heverlings have just arrived at their new home]
RACHEL:  [drops bags.]  Hello new house.  [looks outside]  When are the moving vans getting here?
KAREN:  [walks in empty living room]  I don't know--soon.  I hope.  Honey--were you talking to the house?  [Rachel nods]  Hmm. . .why don't you go pick a bedroom.  And try not to talk to it.
RACHEL:  Alright, I'll try.  But who else will I talk to?
KAREN:  Your sister, now go.
RACHEL:  Okay  [walks up stairs]
ROB:  Hey, Rachel--pick a bedroom--well, except for this one.  Its for your mother and I--
RACHEL:  Okay.  Hey Delia. . .
DELIA:  Huh?  [comes out of a room]
RACHEL:  Which room did you pick?
DELIA:  None--I told Robbie and Joey that we would all pick together--to be fair.  But. . .I want this one.
RACHEL:  Okay--well, I want this one next to it.  Its cool.
DELIA:  Robbie!  Joey!  You can have the rooms that you wanted!
JOEY:  Cool!  C'mon Robbie.
RACHEL:  [walks in room.  drops her bags.]  Hello room.  Its nice to meet you.
ROB:  Rachel--are you talking to your room?
RACHEL:  Yes.
ROB:  Um. . .alright.  [Rachel smiles]
