the fake-relationship device in Dream On isn't a trope the writers reached for. It's load-bearing.
Here's the problem the show has to solve. Stevie was abandoned without explanation, and she isn't the type to forgive on request. So the story needs a container where contact is mandatory and honesty is discouraged.
That's the arrangement. It gives Lex access he hasn't earned and Stevie leverage she wouldn't otherwise take. Both are contractually required to be close, and neither can say why.
So every scene plays as professional and lands as personal.
Remove the device and the second half stops working. That's how you know it isn't lazy.
✨ What worked for me:
The terms get negotiated on-screen. Unusual discipline.
✨ Bottom line: a trope used as architecture.
does the device work, or is it a shortcut? 🎬

00:00:04All right, I don't mean to intrude.
00:00:06Oh, Stevie's friends are always welcome here.
00:00:10So, she told us that you're her acting partner.
00:00:14And with such a talented actor's help, our baby girl's
00:00:17going to be a star.
00:00:19Oh, Dad, stop.
00:00:21OK, kids, dinner's almost ready.
00:00:23Why don't you show Lex's room?
00:00:25Great idea.
00:00:26Hey, I hope you like venison.
00:00:30Well, that was embarrassing.
00:00:32No, it was cute.
00:00:34But you can tell how much they care.
00:00:37Why no one has that?
00:00:42Anyways, I'm going to go find out what venison is.
00:00:45Uh, that's not a good idea, Lex.
00:00:47I don't think you really want to know.
00:00:49How's your dad's cooking?
00:00:56Lex Hall's an asshole.
00:00:58But why do I find him so hot?
00:01:00Will you do me the greatest pleasure of having you?
00:01:11And the award for best youth actor goes to...
00:01:16Lexington Hall!
00:01:17What?
00:01:28Ever since my first film of the age of three, I've drafted this day.
00:01:31The day that I finally turned 18.
00:01:34And so do my sweet mother here in the crowd.
00:01:37And to Hollywood and everyone watching at home.
00:01:40I have just one thing to say to all of you.
00:01:44Fuck you!
00:01:45Oh!
00:01:46Oh!
00:01:49Oh!
00:01:50Oh!
00:01:51Oh!
00:01:52Oh, the cameras!
00:01:54Fuck all of you!
00:01:56Fuck this disgusting industry!
00:01:58I'm never acting again!
00:02:01Oh, who!
00:02:06I'm spoiled Hollywood as-cam.
00:02:14Dad, I've got the school play audition.
00:02:16I gotta go.
00:02:17Oh, uh, break your legs, honey.
00:02:19It's break a leg, but thank you.
00:02:28Oh my God, I can't believe we're going to be classmates with the Lex Hall, the hottest
00:02:33guy from Hollywood.
00:02:35Oh my God, I could literally die.
00:02:36Do you think you'll sign my boo?
00:02:39Oh my God, there he is.
00:02:51Super, let's bring you.
00:03:06Is that Lex Hall?
00:03:18Oh my God, I can't let the whole school see me like this.
00:03:34I can't let the whole school see me like this.
00:03:38Hey, we really don't have time for this right now.
00:03:40What are you waiting for?
00:03:41Drive!
00:03:43She's huge!
00:03:44I don't know how many...
00:03:44Let's hit the gas!
00:03:55Okay, stop the car, stop the car.
00:03:56I think we're safe.
00:04:01Seriously?
00:04:06You having a good time down there?
00:04:08My hair is stuck.
00:04:11Okay, okay, I'd stop if I were you that...
00:04:14We're selling out.
00:04:17Is he hard?
00:04:28I'm lying.
00:04:33Car!
00:04:36Oh, God, you better be kidding me.
00:04:38Are you serious?
00:04:40You know, I've had some fans pull some pretty crazy stunts before, but...
00:04:45This?
00:04:46Pretty original.
00:04:47I am not one of your crazy fangirls.
00:04:50You jumped into my car, you destroyed my truck, and destroyed my only nice shirt for the audition.
00:04:57Yeah, that's...
00:04:59Unfortunate.
00:05:04Fine.
00:05:05Here.
00:05:08Now it'll cover the shirt, and whatever it costs to fix...
00:05:11This thing.
00:05:13I don't want your stupid autographs!
00:05:16You know, you're exactly what I imagined you'd be like.
00:05:18A spoiled Hollywood asshole.
00:05:21Now leave me alone.
00:05:29Spoiled Hollywood asshole.
00:05:31Huh?
00:05:34It's a strong opinion for a theater nerd.
00:05:43Stevie St. James?
00:05:45I think I'm what?
00:05:46You're doing Fright and Prejudice?
00:05:48Boring!
00:05:49You know what?
00:05:51Sometimes boring is the only way for normal people to achieve their dreams.
00:05:54Yeah?
00:05:56I'm gonna act in Hollywood too one day.
00:05:58See, you're not missing out on much, toots.
00:06:00It's not what you think it is.
00:06:02You know what?
00:06:02You can save your jaded, broken bad boy act for someone who actually cares.
00:06:06Acting is my dream.
00:06:09And I promised someone I would never give up on that dream.
00:06:14Not that someone like you would ever understand.
00:06:17Now if you'll excuse me, I have an audition, and I'm gonna be late.
00:06:25I can close my own door.
00:06:27Like so.
00:06:33Audition, huh?
00:06:36I don't know why you had to audition, Natalie.
00:06:38You were made for the lead role.
00:06:41Yeah, you've been like the theater queen since freshman year.
00:06:44Girls, this is the last year, and it's gonna be the best year.
00:06:49Well, since Stevie is a no-show, this concludes our auditions for this year's school play.
00:06:57Wait!
00:06:59I'm here.
00:07:11All right, farm girl.
00:07:13Let's see what you got.
00:07:16All righty, Stevie.
00:07:17You made it.
00:07:18You can start whenever you're ready.
00:07:21Mr. Darcy, from the moment that I met you, your manners showed me that you are arrogant, selfish, and conceited.
00:07:30She's not bad.
00:07:32So my answer is no.
00:07:35You're the last man in the world who...
00:07:38Wait, where's my partner, Jameson?
00:07:43He's supposed to come in here.
00:07:45Oh no, Stevie!
00:07:47Did your acting partner ditch you?
00:07:49I don't blame him.
00:07:50This is a train wreck.
00:07:51Yeah, my desk plant has better acting skills.
00:07:56Ooh!
00:08:06Dang!
00:08:07Okay.
00:08:07Are you screaming?
00:08:34Lex Hull?
00:08:35Did the biggest Hollywood star just save me?
00:08:3891
00:08:38Right
00:08:50Wait, this is my first kiss
00:08:54He did a stage kiss?
00:08:56Shit, is that Lex fucking Hull?
00:08:59He's the hottest star in Hollywood and he wants to be in the school play?
00:09:02With Stevie?
00:09:03I thought Lex quit acting
00:09:05Why is he doing this for a poor farm girl?
00:09:08Allow me to speak but a few words
00:09:10My dearest
00:09:12And loveliest Elizabeth
00:09:15Lex, what are you doing here?
00:09:17You don't even know the lines
00:09:18They're with him earlier
00:09:25He memorized that entire monologue in three seconds?
00:09:29No
00:09:29Stop
00:09:31Oh, I leave
00:09:35I've been a selfish man all my life
00:09:37Such it was from eight to eighteen and such it still might be
00:09:40Not for you, Elizabeth
00:09:43By you I was properly humbled
00:09:46And if your feelings for me are still what they were the last we spoke
00:09:48Tell me at once
00:09:50But otherwise
00:09:53Will you do me the greatest pleasure
00:09:56Of having you
00:10:06Bravo!
00:10:08Bravo!
00:10:10Bravo!
00:10:11Beautiful chemistry
00:10:12The lead roles are yours provided
00:10:14Did both of you agree to do the play?
00:10:17Yes!
00:10:20Yes, thank you, Mr. Hamlin
00:10:21We won't let you down
00:10:22Alrighty
00:10:24Now the auditions are over
00:10:27But Mr. Hamlin
00:10:31This isn't over, you slimy barn snake
00:10:34That lead role is mine
00:10:37And so is Lex
00:10:39Let's go
00:10:46Well that was fun
00:10:48Good luck
00:10:49Wait, you're leaving?
00:10:53Look, I left Hollywood to get away from all of this
00:10:56Not to get chased around by a bunch of horny theater nerds in an amateur play
00:10:59Okay, but Mr. Hamlin only wants us as a duo
00:11:02Tough luck!
00:11:04Maybe next time
00:11:05There won't be a next time, Lex
00:11:09Not for someone like me
00:11:12Look
00:11:13My grandma taught me how to act, okay?
00:11:16And I promised her that one day
00:11:17I would be the lead in this cool play
00:11:18So she could see me on stage
00:11:23She, uh...
00:11:24She never got the chance to
00:11:27So just for once
00:11:29I wanna know what it feels like to really act
00:11:38All right
00:11:39All right
00:11:40Stevie St. James
00:11:42Let's say I do agree to act with you
00:11:49What do I get out of it?
00:11:57I have a spare bedroom
00:12:00What?
00:12:02Um, you're staying at the Plaza Hotel, right?
00:12:06I saw how crazy your fans are
00:12:09They'll chew you up when you get back there
00:12:11So you want me to leave my five-star hotel and come live on a farm with you?
00:12:15Well, that's what you wanted, right?
00:12:18Mr. I just want a normal life
00:12:27Okay, fuck it
00:12:30You got yourself a deal, farm girl
00:12:34So you're at the farm
00:12:40Yes!
00:12:41Ooh, yes!
00:12:54You weren't kidding me since I was a bit of a fixer-upper
00:12:56Oh, I'm sorry, is this farm too normal for you, Lexall?
00:12:59The hottest Hollywood star in the world
00:13:02Did you just call me hot, St. James?
00:13:05What?
00:13:06No!
00:13:07In your dreams
00:13:08You know, you are irritatingly full of yourself
00:13:11I prefer the word confident
00:13:15Speaking of
00:13:19You want to act in Hollywood, St. James?
00:13:24You've got to stop blushing every time a guy gets close to you
00:13:34Stevie, honey?
00:13:36Mom!
00:13:37Dad, this is my friend that I said was going to be staying with us
00:13:41I'm Lex, I'm sorry, I don't mean to intrude
00:13:44Oh, Stevie's friends are always welcome here
00:13:48So, she told us that you're her acting partner
00:13:52And with such a talented actor's help, our baby girl's going to be a star
00:13:57Oh, Dad, stop!
00:13:59Okay, kids, dinner's almost ready, why don't you show Lex's room?
00:14:03Great idea
00:14:04Hey, I hope you like venison
00:14:08Wow, that was embarrassing
00:14:10No, it was cute
00:14:13But you can tell how much they care
00:14:15Why no one has that?
00:14:19Anyways
00:14:21I'm gonna go find out what venison is
00:14:24Uh, that's not a good idea, Lex
00:14:26I don't- I don't think you really want to know
00:14:27Cause your dad's cooking
00:14:35Lex Hall's an asshole
00:14:36But why do I find him so hot?
00:14:39And will you do me the greatest pleasure
00:14:41Of having you?
00:14:47Stop it, Stevie
00:14:48He's literally a Hollywood actor
00:14:51Just just acting
00:14:52I need to stop thinking about him
00:14:54He's a star
00:14:56And you're just you
00:14:57Do you always talk to the cows when you milk them?
00:15:05Well, good morning to you, too
00:15:07Oh, my God!
00:15:13Oh!
00:15:20Well, that is just-
00:15:23Say another word
00:15:25What are you doing in my barn naked?
00:15:27Well, I was trying to take a shower
00:15:29And then the thing broke
00:15:31But as my generous hostess
00:15:33I assume you can fix it for me
00:15:47What are you doing, St. James?
00:15:49Uh, definitely not what you think I'm doing
00:15:52More pipes in there
00:15:58You sure you know how to fix this?
00:16:01Newsflash, your highness
00:16:01Real people like me actually grew up learning real life skills
00:16:05While you were busy having tea and cake with celebrities
00:16:07You seem to think movie stars' lives are all fun and games
00:16:10Oh, yeah
00:16:11Because all the fans that love you
00:16:13And the galas and traveling around the world
00:16:15So horrible
00:16:18You sure you don't want any help?
00:16:19No, you've done enough
00:16:21The last thing I need is your help
00:16:26Shit!
00:16:27I can't actually be stuck like this
00:16:29With my ass pointed at
00:16:33You've got a real talent for getting yourself
00:16:35In compromising positions
00:16:39Don't you, phone girl?
00:16:43Lex, I'm gonna suck, okay?
00:16:45Just pull me out
00:16:47Oh?
00:16:49I thought you didn't want my help
00:16:50Lex, this isn't funny, okay?
00:16:52Help me
00:16:55Ow
00:16:58Steve, honey?
00:16:59Are you in the barn?
00:17:03Yeah, mom, I'm just
00:17:06Oh
00:17:07Oh
00:17:10I'm fixing the water pipe
00:17:13Okay, do you want some help?
00:17:15No, I'm about to be done
00:17:17Oh, okay
00:17:18Breakfast is ready
00:17:20Okay, I'm coming
00:17:22Oh
00:17:23Oh
00:17:30Hey
00:17:36Where's Pat?
00:17:37Where is this stupid wrench?
00:17:43That's not a wrench
00:17:45What?
00:17:51I am so sorry.
00:17:55It's okay.
00:18:02Okay, I'm gonna go dig a hole and dive in.
00:18:06Hold up.
00:18:09Someone else me an apology.
00:18:12Miss...
00:18:13real-life skills.
00:18:15You know, I'm starting to think
00:18:17you only brought me on this farm to screw with me.
00:18:19St. James?
00:18:26Lexington!
00:18:27Oh, God.
00:18:28What's my mom doing back?
00:18:30Lexington?
00:18:31No.
00:18:32That's my mom.
00:18:39Lexington?
00:18:40Did you think you could run away without me knowing?
00:18:44Lexington!
00:18:45Oh!
00:18:45Oh!
00:18:46What are you doing in a, oh, God, barn like this and without a shirt?
00:18:51I've decided to spend some time on a farm.
00:18:53Mom, you didn't have to break an enter.
00:18:55Well, apparently, I did have to, Lexington.
00:18:57Your reputation is in the gutter, and now I find you living on some dirty farm.
00:19:02You don't belong here, Lex, or with whatever redneck lives here.
00:19:11Is there someone in there with you?
00:19:14Lexington, that's it.
00:19:15I'm coming in now.
00:19:24Mom, I'm naked, and I'm hard.
00:19:29Lexington, you put that towel on right now.
00:19:32No.
00:19:34Not until you get in your car and you drive away.
00:19:36I'm not a kid anymore, and I've told you, I'm quitting Hollywood.
00:19:40You are not quitting.
00:19:43You're just having a temper tantrum.
00:19:44I know you.
00:19:46I'm your mother and your agent, and in fact,
00:19:50I might remind you that all of these contracts bear your signature.
00:19:54So if you don't come back to L.A., you're going to court.
00:20:00You just stop hurting my life for two seconds, and let me be free for once.
00:20:05You know, freedom is a luxury that a movie star like you doesn't get to have.
00:20:10And so is a scandal, so I better not catch you getting into any trouble.
00:20:14And if I find out that you are messing around with some gold-digging farm girl,
00:20:19not only will I ruin your life, I'll ruin hers.
00:20:30Okay, you can turn around, though.
00:20:35Sorry.
00:20:40Bad day, huh?
00:20:44Good days, bad days.
00:20:47Harold's days.
00:20:48All the endless bullshit and between.
00:20:52I'm surprised you paid for me in the Carfet Gloves Hall.
00:20:56You're really not, you know?
00:20:58Perfect.
00:20:59I mean, first of all, you are majorly entitled.
00:21:03You're cocky, incredibly reckless.
00:21:06Gee, thanks for the pep talk.
00:21:08But it doesn't make you bad.
00:21:12It just makes you normal.
00:21:25You know, there are copies of that, right?
00:21:27It's okay to want things.
00:21:29To forget what your mom wants and what the fans want.
00:21:34It's hard to explain, but somehow, when I'm only with her,
00:21:38it doesn't feel so bad to be just like Saul.
00:21:42What do you want, like Saul?
00:21:45What do I want?
00:22:10What do I want you to do?
00:22:23Ever since my first film of the age of three, I've dropped it this day.
00:22:26The day that I finally turned 18.
00:22:29And so to my sweet mother here in the crowd.
00:22:32And to Hollywood and everyone watching at home.
00:22:35I have just one thing to say to all of you.
00:22:39Fuck you!
00:22:47Out the camera!
00:22:49Fuck all of you!
00:22:51Fuck this disgusting industry!
00:22:53I'm never acting again!
00:23:01I spoiled Hollywood asking.
00:23:09Shoot, Dad, I've got the school play audition.
00:23:11I gotta go.
00:23:12Oh, uh, break your legs, honey.
00:23:14It's break a leg, but thank you.
00:23:23Oh, my God.

00:31:12Yes!
00:31:15Yes, thank you Mr. Hamlin
00:31:16We won't let you down
00:31:17Alrighty
00:31:19Now the auditions are over
00:31:22But Mr. Hamlin
00:31:26This isn't over
00:31:27You slimy barn snake
00:31:29That lead role
00:31:30Is mine
00:31:32And so is Lex
00:31:34Let's go
00:31:41Well that was fun
00:31:42Good luck
00:31:43Wait, you're leaving?
00:31:48Look, I left Hollywood to get away from all of this
00:31:51Not to get chased around by a bunch of horny theater nerds
00:31:53In an amateur play
00:31:54Okay, but Mr. Hamlin only wants us as a duo
00:31:57Tough luck
00:31:59Maybe next time
00:32:00There won't be a next time, Lex
00:32:04Not for someone like me
00:32:07Look
00:32:08My grandma taught me how to act, okay?
00:32:10And I promised her that one day
00:32:12I would be the lead in this cool play
00:32:13So she could see me on stage
00:32:17She, uh, she never got the chance to
00:32:21So just for once
00:32:24I want to know what it feels like to really act
00:32:33All right
00:32:34Stevie St. James
00:32:37Let's say I do agree to act with you
00:32:43What do I get out of it?
00:32:52I have a spare bedroom
00:32:55What?
00:32:57Um, you're staying at the Plaza Hotel, right?
00:33:01I saw how crazy your fans are
00:33:03They'll chew you up when you get back there
00:33:05So you want me to leave my five-star hotel
00:33:08And come live on a farm with you?
00:33:10Well that's what you wanted
00:33:11Right?
00:33:13Mr. I just want a normal life
00:33:21Okay, fuck it
00:33:25You got yourself a deal, farm girl
00:33:29So you're at the farm
00:33:48You weren't kidding me
00:33:49So it's a bit of a fixer-upper
00:33:50Oh, I'm sorry
00:33:52Is this farm too normal for you, Lexall?
00:33:54The hottest Hollywood star in the world
00:33:57Did you just call me hot, St. James?
00:33:59What?
00:34:01No, in your dreams
00:34:03You know, you are irritatingly full of yourself
00:34:06I prefer the word confident
00:34:10Speaking of
00:34:13You weren't acting in Hollywood, St. James
00:34:19You've got to stop blushing
00:34:21Every time a guy gets close to you
00:34:29Stevie, honey
00:34:31Mom, Dad, um
00:34:32This is my friend
00:34:35That I said was going to be staying with us
00:34:36I'm Lex
00:34:37I'm sorry, I don't mean to intrude
00:34:39Oh, Stevie's friends are always welcome here
00:34:43So, she told us that you're her acting partner
00:34:47And with such a talented actor's help
00:34:49Mmm, our baby girl's going to be a star
00:34:51Oh, Dad
00:34:52Stop
00:34:54Okay, kids
00:34:55Dinner's almost ready
00:34:56Why don't you show Lex's room?
00:34:58Great idea
00:34:59Hey, I hope you like venison
00:35:03Wow, that was embarrassing
00:35:05No, it was cute
00:35:08Do you tell how much they care?
00:35:10Why no one has that?
00:35:14Anyways
00:35:16I'm going to go find out what venison is
00:35:19Ah, that's not a good idea, Lex
00:35:20I don't think you really want to know
00:35:22How's your dad's cooking?
00:35:30Lex Hall's an asshole
00:35:31But why do I find him so hot?
00:35:34And what you do me the greatest pleasure
00:35:35Of having you
00:35:42Stop it, Stevie
00:35:43He's literally a Hollywood actor
00:35:45He's just acting
00:35:47I need to stop thinking about him
00:35:49He's a star
00:35:50And you're just you
00:35:52Do you always talk to the cows when you milk them?
00:35:59Well, good morning to you, too
00:36:01Oh, my God
00:36:15Well, that is just
00:36:17Don't say another word
00:36:20What are you doing in my barn naked?
00:36:22Well, I was trying to take a shower
00:36:23And then the thing broke
00:36:26But as my generous hostess
00:36:28I assume you can fix it for me
00:36:42What are you doing, St. James?
00:36:44Definitely not what you think I'm doing
00:36:47More pipes in there
00:36:52You sure you know how to fix this?
00:36:55Huh, newsflash, your highness
00:36:56Real people like me actually grew up
00:36:58Learning real life skills
00:36:59While you were busy having tea and cake with celebrities
00:37:02You seem to think movie stars' lives are all fun and games
00:37:04Oh, yeah
00:37:05Because all the fans that love you
00:37:07And the galas
00:37:09And the traveling around the world
00:37:10It's so horrible
00:37:13Are you sure you don't want any help?
00:37:14No, you've done enough
00:37:16The last thing I need is your help
00:37:21Shit
00:37:22I can't actually be stuck like this
00:37:24With my ass pointed at
00:37:28You've got a real talent for getting yourself
00:37:30In compromising positions
00:37:34Don't you, phone girl
00:37:38Lex, I'm gonna suck, okay?
00:37:40Just pull me out
00:37:42Oh?
00:37:44I thought you didn't want my help
00:37:45Lex, this isn't funny, okay?
00:37:47Help me
00:37:53Stay high
00:37:54Are you in the barn?
00:37:58Yeah, mom, I'm just
00:38:05I'm fixing the water pipe
00:38:08Okay, do you want some help?
00:38:10No, I'm about to be done
00:38:11Oh, okay
00:38:13Breakfast is ready
00:38:15Okay, I'm coming
00:38:22Hey
00:38:32Where is this stupid wrench?
00:38:38That's not a wrench
00:38:39What?
00:38:46I am so sorry
00:38:50It's okay
00:38:57Okay
00:38:58I'm gonna go dig a hole
00:39:00And I'm there
00:39:01Hold up
00:39:04Someone does me an apology
00:39:06Miss
00:39:08Real life skills
00:39:10You know, I'm starting to think
00:39:12You only brought me on this farm
00:39:13To screw with me
00:39:14St. James
00:39:21Lexington
00:39:22Oh, God
00:39:23What's my mom doing back?
00:39:25Lexington?
00:39:26No
00:39:27That's my mom
00:39:34Lexington?
00:39:35Did you think you could run away
00:39:37Without me knowing?
00:39:39Lexington?
00:39:40Oh
00:39:40Oh
00:39:40What are you doing
00:39:42In a full
00:39:43God
00:39:43Barn like this
00:39:44And without a shirt?
00:39:46I've decided to spend some time
00:39:47On a farm
00:39:47Mom
00:39:48You didn't have to break an enter
00:39:49Well, apparently
00:39:50I did have to, Lexington
00:39:52Your reputation
00:39:53Is in the gutter
00:39:54And now I find you living on some dirty farm
00:39:57You don't belong here, Lex
00:39:59Or with whatever redneck lives here
00:40:05Is there someone in there with you?
00:40:09Lexington?
00:40:09That's it
00:40:10I'm coming in now
00:40:19Mom, I'm naked
00:40:20And I'm hard
00:40:24Lexington?
00:40:25You put that towel on right now
00:40:27No
00:40:28Not until you get in your car
00:40:30And you drive away
00:40:31I'm not a kid anymore
00:40:32And I'm told you
00:40:33I'm quitting Hollywood
00:40:35You are not quitting
00:40:37You're just having a temper tantrum
00:40:39I know you
00:40:40I'm your mother
00:40:42And your agent
00:40:43And in fact
00:40:45I might remind you
00:40:46That all of these contracts
00:40:48Bear your signature
00:40:49So if you don't come back to LA
00:40:51You're going to court
00:40:55Can you just stop hurting my life
00:40:56For two seconds
00:40:57And let me be free for once
00:40:59You know
00:41:00Freedom is a luxury
00:41:02That a movie star like you
00:41:03Doesn't get to have
00:41:04And so is a scandal
00:41:06So I better not catch you
00:41:07Getting into any trouble
00:41:08And if I find out
00:41:10That you were messing around
00:41:11With some gold-digging farm girl
00:41:14Not only will I ruin your life
00:41:16I'll ruin hers
00:41:25Okay, you can turn around now
00:41:30Sorry
00:41:35Bad day, huh?
00:41:39Good days
00:41:40Bad days
00:41:41Harold's days
00:41:42All the endless bullshit
00:41:45And boots we eat
00:41:47Surprised you paid for me
00:41:48In the perfect club's hall
00:41:51You're really not
00:41:52You know
00:41:53Perfect
00:41:53I mean
00:41:54First of all
00:41:56You are majorly entitled
00:41:58You're cocky
00:41:59Incredibly reckless
00:42:00You think?
00:42:01For the pep talk
00:42:03But it doesn't make you bad
00:42:06It just makes you normal
00:42:20You know there are copies of that, right?
00:42:22It's okay to want things
00:42:24To forget what your mom wants
00:42:26And what the fans want
00:42:29It's hard to explain
00:42:30But somehow
00:42:31When I'm only with her
00:42:32It doesn't feel so bad
00:42:33To be just Lex Hall
00:42:37What do you want, Lex Hall?
00:42:40What do I want?
00:43:00And the award for best youth actor goes to
00:43:04Lexington Hall
00:43:18Ever since my first film
00:43:19Of the age of three
00:43:20I've drafted this day
00:43:21The day that I finally turn 18
00:43:24And so do my sweet mother
00:43:26Here in the crowd
00:43:26And to Hollywood
00:43:28And everyone watching at home
00:43:30I have just one thing
00:43:31To say to all of you
00:43:34Fuck you
00:43:43Fuck all of you
00:43:45Fuck this disgusting industry
00:43:47I'm never acting again
00:43:49I spoiled Hollywood Asking
00:44:04Dad, I've got the school play audition.
00:44:06I gotta go.
00:44:07Oh, uh, break your legs, honey.
00:44:09It's break a leg, but thank you.
00:44:18Oh my God, I can't believe we're gonna be classmates with the Lex Hall, the hottest guy from Hollywood.
00:44:24Oh my God, I could literally die.
00:44:26Do you think you'll sign my boobs?
00:44:29Oh my God, there he is.
00:44:41Super let's scream.
00:44:55Is that Lex Hall?
00:45:08Oh my God, I can't let the whole school see me like this.
00:45:24I can't let the whole school see me like this.
00:45:28Hey, we really don't have time for this right now.
00:45:30What are you waiting for?
00:45:31Drive!
00:45:33She's huge!

00:45:58My hair is stuck.
00:46:01Okay, okay, I'd stop if I were you later.
00:46:04Before selling out.

00:46:07Is he...
00:46:08Hard?
00:46:17I'm lying.
00:46:26I'm lying.
00:46:27Are you serious?
00:46:30You know, I've had some fans pull some pretty crazy stunts before, but...
00:46:34This?
00:46:35Pretty original.
00:46:37I am not one of your crazy fangirls.
00:46:39You jumped into my car, you destroyed my truck, and destroyed my only nice shirt for the audition.
00:46:46Yeah, that's...
00:46:49Unfortunate.
00:46:53Fine.
00:46:54Here.
00:46:57Now it'll cover the shirt, and whatever it costs to fix...
00:47:01This thing.

00:47:05You know, you're exactly what I imagined you'd be like.
00:47:08You spoiled Hollywood asshole.
00:47:11Now leave me alone.
00:47:19Spoiled Hollywood asshole.
00:47:21Huh?
00:47:24It's a strong opinion for a theater nerd.
00:47:33Stevie St. James?
00:47:35I think I'm one of you doing Fright and Prejudice.
00:47:38Boring!
00:47:39You know what?
00:47:40Sometimes boring is the only way for normal people to achieve their dreams.
00:47:44Yeah?
00:47:45I'm gonna act in Hollywood 2 one day.
00:47:48You're not missing out on much, toots.
00:47:50It's not what you think it is.
00:47:51You know what?
00:47:52You can save your jaded, broken, bad boy act for someone who actually cares.
00:47:56Acting is my dream.
00:47:59And I promised someone I would never give up on that dream.
00:48:04Not that someone like you would ever understand.
00:48:06Now if you'll excuse me, I have an audition, and I'm gonna be late.
00:48:15I can close my own door.
00:48:17Like so.
00:48:23Audition, huh?
00:48:26I don't know why you had to audition, Natalie.
00:48:28You were made for the lead role.
00:48:30Yeah, you've been like the theater queen since freshman year.
00:48:34Girls, this is the last year, and it's gonna be the best year.
00:48:38Well, since Stevie is a no-show, this concludes our auditions for this year's school play.
00:48:47Wait!
00:48:48I'm here.
00:49:01All right, farm girl.
00:49:03Let's see what you got.
00:49:05All righty, Stevie.
00:49:07You made it.
00:49:08You can start whenever you're ready.
00:49:11Mr. Darcy, from the moment that I met you,
00:49:14your manners showed me that you are arrogant, selfish, and conceited.
00:49:20She's not bad.
00:49:22So my answer is no.
00:49:24You're the last man in the world who...
00:49:28Wait, where's my partner, Jameson?
00:49:32He's supposed to come in here.
00:49:35Oh no, Stevie!
00:49:36Did your acting partner ditch you?
00:49:38I don't blame him.
00:49:40This is a train wreck.
00:49:41Yeah, my desk plant has better acting skills.
00:49:48Boo!
00:49:50Boo!
00:49:55Boo!
00:49:57And name's Deborah G move.
00:50:02Boo!
00:50:05Boo!
00:50:07Boo!
00:50:10Boo!
00:50:14Boo!
00:50:24Lex Hull
00:50:25Did the biggest Hollywood star just save me?
00:50:2891
00:50:28Right
00:50:39Wait, this is my first kiss
00:50:44He did a stage kiss?
00:50:46Shit, is that Lex fucking Hall?
00:50:48He's the hottest star in Hollywood and he wants to be in the school play?
00:50:52With Stevie?
00:50:53I thought Lex quit acting
00:50:55Why is he doing this for a poor farm girl?
00:50:58Allow me to speak but a few words
00:51:00My dearest
00:51:02The loveliest Elizabeth
00:51:04Lex, what are you doing here?
00:51:06You don't even know the lines
00:51:08They're with them earlier
00:51:15He memorized that entire monologue in three seconds?
00:51:19Oh
00:51:21Oh, I leave
00:51:24I've been a selfish man all my life
00:51:27Such it was from 8 to 18 and such it still might be
00:51:29Now for you, Elizabeth
00:51:32By you, I was properly humbled
00:51:36And if your feelings for me are still with you where the last we spoke
00:51:38Tell me at once
00:51:40But otherwise
00:51:43Then will you do me the greatest pleasure
00:51:46Of having you
00:51:56Bravo!
00:51:57Bravo!
00:51:59Bravo!
00:52:01Beautiful chemistry
00:52:02The lead roles are yours
00:52:03Provided both of you agree to do the play
00:52:07Yes!
00:52:09Yes, thank you, Mr. Hamlin
00:52:11We won't let you down
00:52:12Alrighty
00:52:13Now the auditions are over
00:52:17But Mr. Hamlin
00:52:20This isn't over, you slimy barn snake
00:52:24That lead role is mine
00:52:26And so is Lex
00:52:28Let's go
00:52:35Well, that was fun
00:52:37Good luck
00:52:38Wait, you're leaving?
00:52:39You're leaving?
00:52:43Look, I left Hollywood to get away from all of this
00:52:46Not to get chased around by a bunch of horny theater nerds in an amateur play
00:52:50Okay, but Mr. Hamlin only wants us as a duo
00:52:52Tough luck
00:52:54Maybe next time
00:52:55There won't be a next time, Lex
00:52:59Not for someone like me
00:53:01Look
00:53:03My grandma taught me how to act, okay?
00:53:05And I promised her that one day I would be the lead in this cool play so she could see
00:53:09me on stage
00:53:12She, uh, she never got the chance to
00:53:16So just for once
00:53:19I want to know what it feels like to really act
00:53:28All right
00:53:29Stevie St. James
00:53:31Let's say I do agree to act with you
00:53:38What do I get out of it?
00:53:47I have a spare bedroom
00:53:50What?
00:53:52Um, you're staying at the Plaza Hotel, right?
00:53:56I saw how crazy your fans are
00:53:58They'll chew you up when you get back there
00:54:00So you want me to leave my five-star hotel and come live on a farm with you?
00:54:05Well, that's what you wanted
00:54:06Right?
00:54:08Mr. I just want a normal life
00:54:16Okay, fuck it
00:54:19You got yourself a deal, farm girl
00:54:23So you're at the farm
00:54:43You weren't kidding me since I was a bit of a fixer-upper
00:54:45Oh, I'm sorry
00:54:46Is this farm too normal for you, Lexall?
00:54:49The hottest Hollywood star in the world
00:54:52Did you just call me hot, St. James?
00:54:54What?
00:54:56No, in your dreams
00:54:57You know, you are irritatingly full of yourself
00:55:01I prefer the word confident
00:55:05Speaking of
00:55:08You want to act in Hollywood, St. James
00:55:14You've got to stop blushing every time a guy gets close to you
00:55:18I
00:55:24Stevie, honey
00:55:26Mom, Dad
00:55:28This is my friend that I said was going to be staying with us
00:55:31I'm Lex
00:55:32I'm sorry, I don't mean to intrude
00:55:34Oh, Stevie's friends are always welcome here
00:55:38So, she told us that you're her acting partner
00:55:41And with such a talented actor's help
00:55:44Mmm, our baby girl's going to be a star
00:55:46Oh, Dad
00:55:47Stop
00:55:49Okay, kids
00:55:50Dinner's almost ready
00:55:51Why don't you show Lex's room?
00:55:53Great idea
00:55:53Hey, I hope you like venison
00:55:58Wow, that was embarrassing
00:56:00No, it was cute
00:56:02You can tell how much they care
00:56:04Why no one has that
00:56:09Anyways
00:56:11I'm going to go find out what venison is
00:56:14Uh, that's not a good idea, Lex
00:56:15I don't, I don't think you really want to know
00:56:17How's your dad's cooking?
00:56:25Lex Hall's an asshole
00:56:26But why do I find him so hot?
00:56:28Will you do me the greatest pleasure
00:56:30Of having you?
00:56:36Stop it, Stevie
00:56:37He's literally a Hollywood actor
00:56:40He's just acting
00:56:41You need to stop thinking about him
00:56:44He's a star
00:56:45And you're just you
00:56:47Do you always talk to the cows when you milk them?
00:56:54Well, good morning to you, too
00:56:56Oh, my God
00:57:10Well, that is just
00:57:12Don't say another word
00:57:14What are you doing in my barn naked?
00:57:17Well, I was trying to take a shower
00:57:18And then the thing broke
00:57:21But as my generous hostess
00:57:23I assume you can fix it for me
00:57:37What are you doing, St. James?
00:57:39Uh, definitely not what you think I'm doing
00:57:42More pipes in there
00:57:47You sure you know how to fix this?
00:57:49Um, newsflash, your highness
00:57:51Real people like me actually grew up
00:57:53Learning real life skills
00:57:54While you were busy having tea and cake with celebrities
00:57:57You seem to think movie stars' lives
00:57:58Are all fun and games
00:57:59Oh, yeah
00:58:00Because all the fans that love you
00:58:02And the galas
00:58:03And traveling around the world
00:58:05It's so horrible
00:58:07Are you sure you don't want any help?
00:58:09No, you've done enough
00:58:11The last thing I need is your help
00:58:16Shit
00:58:17I can't actually be stuck like this
00:58:19With my ass pointed at
00:58:23You've got a real talent for getting yourself
00:58:25In compromising positions
00:58:29Don't you, phone girl?
00:58:33Lex, I'm gonna suck, okay?
00:58:35Just pull me out
00:58:37Oh?
00:58:38I thought you didn't want my help
00:58:40Lex, this isn't funny, okay?
00:58:42Help me
00:58:47Sting, honey?
00:58:49Are you in the barn?
00:58:53Yeah, Mom, I'm just
00:58:59I'm fixing the water pipe
00:59:03Okay, do you want some help?
00:59:05No, I'm about to be done
00:59:06Oh, okay
00:59:08Breakfast is ready
00:59:09Okay, I'm coming
00:59:20Hey
00:59:27Where is this stupid wrench?
00:59:33That's not a wrench
00:59:34What?
00:59:41I am so sorry
00:59:45It's okay
00:59:50Okay
00:59:52Okay
00:59:52I'm gonna go dig a hole
00:59:54And I'm there
00:59:56Hold up
00:59:59Someone does me an apology
01:00:01Miss
01:00:03Real life skills
01:00:05You know, I'm starting to think
01:00:06You only brought me on this farm
01:00:08To screw with me
01:00:08St. James
01:00:16Lexington
01:00:17Okay
