Danny and Erin - Their Story (My Life With the Walter Boys s1-3)

Hey, are you okay to drive? Because if you're not, you guys can just come with us. I'll bring you back for your car tomorrow. This is stupid. Sorry. Erin? You know, serious athletes don't actually drink. Oh. You're auditioning for the play? No. It's okay to be nervous. Thanks. Sweet of you to care. Please, I'm not nervous. Why would I be nervous? I'm not auditioning. Okay. Drive safe. You too. Maybe I am auditioning. I can see Isaac's really trying. I mean, he learned all the lines, but he's, like, really bad. Much Ado About Nothing is, like, my favorite play ever. Okay, so it's not just me thinking that because I didn't get the part. I wish you'd gotten the part. I feel like I am Beatrice. Which, okay, sounds narcissistic, but I know what it's like to be let down by people I love. It'd be way easier to pretend to be in love with you. If she'd ended up alone, at least she'd be free. And you know what? She would have enjoyed every minute of that freedom. Hey, Erin, if you don't mind, can you help? Sure. See you guys. See you later. Bye. Okay, the key to acting is committing to what you're saying, right? So just watch. I'm running into lots of Walter boys today. Yeah, it's kind of hard not to in this town. I love thee. Why, then, God forgive me. What offense, sweet Beatrice? Well, I better go. My mom's waiting. But good luck at Juilliard. Thanks. I was about to protest I loved you. And do it with all thy heart. Have a nice summer, Erin. Thanks. I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest. And you can text me, if you want, about New York or whatever. It's all about believing the other person and trusting in the words. I actually thought you guys were gonna kiss. It's just acting. Right, Erin? Yeah. You weren't terrible today. And you weren't horrible today, either. You've been doing that all morning. Who is that? Danny. Danny Walter? That was a good class. Agreed. We've been texting a little over the summer. Maybe we could practice some more acting exercises together? I'd like to, but I'm guessing you still haven't told Cole yet. And what does his twin brother think about that? The days of me caring about what Cole Walter thinks are well and truly over. Danny. It's not that I want to keep it a secret. I just don't want to hurt him, you know? I get it. What are you thinking? No phones at the table. Sorry. Hey, sneaking around is kind of fun, right? Yeah, he's been texting some girl back in New York since he got home. Oh. Hi. Hey. Have you always been standing there? No. I didn't know that you worked in here. Well, just when Miss Levin is shorthanded. You and Danny are at the talking on the phone stage? No, it's nothing. I like the quiet. Yeah, I know what you mean. Texting is one thing. Calling is like going to second base. Do you need help finding anything? No. That's why you have such chemistry. Are you guys dating now or something? No, Liv. Nobody's supposed to know. Hey, Erin. Um, I just, uh... Oh, I can see that. I mean, he's all theater nerd and you're the hot cheerleader. When I texted that I missed you, I meant it. So did I. He does seem, like, super nice. No, no. I'm not embarrassed by him. Oh. So why is it a secret? He hasn't told Cole yet. Oh. All good for you. You totally deserve someone who makes you happy. Thanks, Liv. How did Cole take the news about you and Erin? I haven't had the opportunity to tell him. What's making you so happy? Oh, nothing. Nothing. What am I supposed to say? Good night. Sleep tight. Oh, hope you don't mind I'm dating your ex. I was so close to just ripping off the band-aid last night. But he was watching Rudy. He only watches Rudy when he's had a bad practice. It's fine. No, it's not. We shouldn't have to drive one town over to go catch a movie. Wow. I mean, I would like to go to the dance with my boyfriend. I'm your boyfriend? You look amazing. Thanks. I mean, yeah. Thank you. So sweet of you to bring more flowers. Uh, these are actually for your mom. If that's okay. Looks like my daughter picked a good one. I saw you making out with Erin outside of Monty's. You're hooking up with Erin? No. I know that's stupid, but I'm stupid about her. It's not like that. Why wouldn't you tell me? I had just... I've never felt like this about a girl before. And I know you know what that's like. Remember, I tried to pick you too. I got Danny to try out for track a few years ago. You deserve a great guy. I thought those long legs would be great for hurdles and sprints. He never told me that. And to be honest, I don't think there's anyone better than Danny. Can I get a picture? Over by the tree. Come on, you're an adorable couple. Do me one favor. Don't break his heart. Mm-hmm. Oh, you're adorable. I love it. I did something, but I don't know what. You left me on the dance floor to rescue your brother. Cole's your twin, I get it, but you just left me. With Cole, I always came second to his football, his moods. Well, maybe we should... Leave him. Both of you. I thought you were different. I never felt like I came second when I was with you. We'll be fine. Tonight is not about Cole Walter. Until tonight. His Girl Friday? Mm-hmm. Or It Happened One Night? Oh, It Happened One Night. I can't do this if Cole's gonna be our third wheel. Yeah, you're right. Now that we've got our SATs back and everything, we should practice our monologues. I'm really sorry, but you deserve to be number one. Yeah, I can help you. I'd help with yours, too. What are you doing? Danny. We could maybe think of a scene to do together. You know, maybe we could even coordinate our applications. Danny, I'm not applying to Tisch. Okay. Yeah, that's cool. We don't have to go to the same place. Juilliard is tough, but after that summer program... I'm gonna go to community college here in Silver Falls. I know you're not interested in community college. No. I can avoid getting into crazy debt, maybe transfer to a four-year after a couple years to major in business. But I am interested in apologizing to the girl who wants to go to community college. Yeah, but you love acting. You shouldn't give it up. Apologizing for... Not listening? I'm not giving up. I've been thinking about this since middle school. I have a plan. I just figured you loved acting as much as I did, and it was wrong. Okay, but plans can change, and you'd be an amazing actor. And I totally get why we aren't together anymore. Danny, couples fight all the time doesn't mean we're broken up. I did one play. In high school. Do you want to be? No. No, no, absolutely not. Did I enjoy it? Yeah, but I'm not gonna be an actor. Then apology accepted. Okay, so maybe if you did another one, you'd realize that is what you want. Drama club was fun, but acting's a long shot. I feel pretty good about my odds. I know. I know what I don't want. A boyfriend who thinks he knows what I want better than I do. I don't want to see you get hurt. I just think it's better to be more realistic. I'm gonna go home. Okay, um, yeah, I'll drive you. I can walk. So I'm unrealistic? You know that's not what I mean. You're still not talking to Erin? I don't think she's talking to me. Scholarships exist, you could try. Danny, I can't make plans that revolve around you. I have to do what's best for me. Like I said, I have a plan. Erin, I don't know what happened with you and Danny, but I do know that he wouldn't do anything to deliberately hurt you. We could have tried to plan together. Instead, you've just completely shut me out of your future. I think I know that, it's just... Like you said, it's complicated. I didn't know we had an expiration date. Apparently we do. Erin? Why aren't you over there? That's over. I get that you don't see a future with me, and that's fine. I totally messed it up. How? And how did I not know that? We're so young, and I think we might be headed in different directions. Well, because I'm me, and I said the wrong thing, obviously. And I do believe in you. You should go after your dreams, but so should I. First off, Erin really likes you. I don't want to be the girl that held you back. I would never think of you like that. And second, you gotta stop thinking you can't just be honest with her. Really? You're right, our dreams are different. But that's okay. Cole Walter is lecturing me about honesty with girls. Yep, you're right. So why don't we just try to enjoy what we have for now? Don't let her go just because you didn't try. You know, we can worry about the future when it's here. I'd like that. Alright. Oh, you're reading Barefoot in the Park? Hey, well, would you want to go tomorrow? If we can get tickets? You really want to come with me? I mean, of course. This place is so great. I can't wait for tonight. It is your favorite movie of all time, right? Okay. I'm gonna have to cancel. I said that I'd babysit. Yeah, two tickets to the Birds coming up. I mean, Jackie's been doing it almost every night. I wanted to give her a chance to go see my dad. I am warning you, though. I am not the biggest fan of Birds to begin with, so this might put me over the edge. Dani, it's okay. It's the community theater in Lockwood. It's not, like, Broadway. It's no big deal. Okay, let me show you this scene. Dani? What's wrong? Oh, um... Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you were babysitting. Yeah, Jackie decided to stay home. Did they sell out? Uh, no. No, I'll just... I'll get them at home. It's bad reception. Honestly, I just wanted to get out of the house. You know, it's not really the same without, uh... You think they used real birds? Hold on. Where were you going? I was coming to see you. With this, Dani. Oh, uh, yeah. I got it from the library. I wanted you to feel like you were back in New York again to take your mind off everything. Come on. So where would you say this ranks between Vertigo and Psycho? Plus, no shade, but I think Jane Fonda and Robert Redford might just have the edge on Miss Calvert, the lunch lady, and Elwynn from the gas station. Thank you. Come in. You hungry? My mom made dinner. Oh, thank God, yes. What is it? Uh, you're really quiet. Oh, yeah, I couldn't face another of Ma Weber's casseroles. What is it? What's been bothering you so much? Anything on your mind? No. Hey. That was amazing. You did great. You're really quiet, too. Is anything on your mind? No. I'm really proud of you. Thank you. Here. These are for you. Danny, what? Don't get mad. I'm not mad. It's a fuel up for your next race. You are the sweetest. You know that? Irritated. You clearly want to tell me something, but instead you're being weird. No, I'm not. I thought that was Jackie's. Hey, it is Jackie's race. I'm just helping her out because Cole broke up with her. The other day, I found out I didn't get into two yard. Cole broke up with Jackie. Yeah, you didn't know that? No. You didn't tell me. I know. I'm sorry. You're worried about him? What do you mean? You always take his side. I don't know. I didn't want you to think I was a loser. I would never think that. He's my twin. What, that just gives him, like, an automatic pass? No. I love you, and I believe in you. Seriously, Nina? He's been trying so hard lately to be a better person, and, like, something must have happened. Yeah, Cole Walter happened. He does this every time. Yes, you're so talented, Danny. Erin, look, you don't know him like I do. We were together for years, so... It's your passion. It's your future. You're going to do it. You're going to have an amazing life, Danny Walter. I need to head back down the field. Hey, Erin, just wait. How'd I get so lucky to have a girlfriend like you? It's not luck. It's talent. Look, it upsets me because you're the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I really hate that he treated you badly. But Juilliard or not, we're going to have a great future together. Forever. Why are you awake? It's embarrassing. You really think so? You went to bed or something? It's worse. Well, then why don't we get married? I drunkenly proposed to Erin because I didn't get into the school I wanted. You're so silly. No, I'm serious. Let's get married. Do you want to talk about it? No. Everybody does dumb stuff when they're drunk. I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest. Don't worry about Erin. She said she'll let you down easy. Why shouldn't we? Yeah. She said yes. Look, I... I mean, yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. I don't know what to do. We've been texting this morning. She hasn't brought it up. Sorry. I actually wanted to talk to you. Is everything okay? Yeah. It's Erin. Yeah, I know. So what do I keep telling you? Yeah, everything's good. Totally good. Great. Talk to her. She's gonna tell you how she feels. I didn't know you were... wasted. Split it 50-50? Yeah, sure. I'll share with you. You don't remember anything? Um, don't feel like you have to get a veggie hot just because I asked. I remember having a great night with you. You can get whatever you want. We should both have an equal say. And I think I remember Grace dancing at some point. Like crazy. You know when I said I didn't remember much about the party? I lied. Yeah, who knew she could be so fun? I... I remembered having the greatest night with you. But he's like the closest family I have. I get it, but... And part of that was asking you to marry me. We did have a relationship and I'm tired of pretending like we didn't. Yeah, I know. But it was, like, real late and we'd been drinking, so I didn't want you to think that you had to go through... I don't. I'm sorry. You should be able to talk about your past. I don't feel like I have to say yes. But my answer is still yes. Look, you are my future. Nothing will get in the way of that, okay? Not even Cole. Okay? Thank you. What are you doing? Getting our food to go. We have to make a stop somewhere. So pretty. Hey, come here. Oh, you're in a good mood. Hey, Erin. I got in. To Carnegie Mellon. Oh, you did? That's amazing. When we're ready to tell everybody, I'll get you a real ring. I hadn't heard from them. And after Juilliard, I thought there was no way I was gonna get in. Congratulations. Okay, but for now, I want you to know that I'm serious. Pittsburgh's not even that far from New York, so you could go every weekend if you wanted. Right. Yeah, it is pretty far away from here, though. It is, but we knew we might have to do long distance when you applied to Juilliard. I'm serious, too. We'll make it work. Yeah. This was my dad's. You know, we talked about going to college here. Right, but that's honestly not really your dream. Even though he's not here, I know he'd love you. You know you should go to Pittsburgh. My dream is being with you. Because I love you. Wherever we are. And I love that no matter what happens, you'll always be there. I love you so much. I can't wait to see where we go next.
