You are a talented, talented kid.

He's a talented kid.

You sing, you dance.

I hope you can act.

Because I like you for this movie.

Thank you, sir.

I mean, coming from you,

this would be such an honour to...

I mean, to work with someone...

But my people don't necessarily

agree with me.

See, all they see is a spoiled punk

who likes to tangle with the paparazzi.

Alan, you know how the tabloids are.

They manipulate those photos to...

Daniel, I get it. I get it.

Look, all I'm saying, kid,

is a chance like this

comes along once in a lifetime,

and I want to give you a shot,

but you have to prove that

you're a serious and committed actor.

How do I do that?

On Monday,

I'm gonna meet with my people,

try and sell them on you.

In the meantime,

you keep your face out of the tabloids.

No press, good or bad. Okay?

- I can do that.

- In fact, stay home.

- All right.

- Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.

You're such a dork.

You brought homework?

No. It's called reading.

You should try it sometime.

What? I read.

This? It's all pictures.

Don't touch that!

Gladly.

What's taking them so long?

Just get me a car already

so I can go meet Christopher Wilde.

Sara. You can't drive.

Yes, I can. Licence.

No, you can't. Sign.

"You must be at least

25-years-old to drive

"or rent a car from

Los Angeles Car Rental"?

What?

How am I supposed to do

what I wanna do?

And what would that be?

Take Jessica sightseeing.

Well, I think your grandma's

got a car you can borrow.

Sweet.

See what I mean? Mom, be careful!

Here comes the cavalry.

You could fall and break a hip.

Oh, now, Barbara. Calm down.

Howard had my back. Hi.

We take care of each other.

Okay then.

- Grandma!

- Jessica!

Oh, I'm so happy to see you.

- I've missed you so much.

- Ditto.

Sara. You can take her

for a spin if you want to.

Just gave her a tune-up.

She runs like a top.

Yeah, a super-ugly top

you'd never want to be seen in.

Does that mean

you'll be joining us for shuffleboard?

Sara out!

Grandma says stop pacing.

You're creating a draught.

I just got a call from AJ.

She just had a chat about a text

quoting a blog

about Christopher Wilde.

He's singing tonight

at Alexis Bender's birthday party.

I have to go!

Good luck

convincing Mom and Dad of that.

- Go with me.

- No.

They'll let me go if you go, too.

How many times do I have to say this?

I'm not interested in meeting

a stupid celebrity.

I mean, I am sick and tired

of Christopher Wilde.

- He's all you talk about.

- I'll shut up.

- What?

- If you go with me,

and I meet Christopher Wilde,

I'll stop talking about him

for the rest of the trip.

How about the rest of your life?
