:32:00
What I needed for the concert
was a drop-dead-gorgeous dress

:32:03
that made me look 25
and sophisticated enough

:32:05
to have a perfume
named after me.

:32:07
This had to be really,
really special.

:32:09
It had to be glamorous,
and it had to make a statement.

:32:11
If I wanted Stu Wolff
to notice me, that is.

:32:19
Might as well just wear this
to see Stu.

:32:21
Nothing else to wear anyway.
:32:22
I'm gonna be the dowdy redhead
who doesn't know how to dress.

:32:28
Don't worry, Ella,
I'll find something to wear.

:32:30
I mean, accessories
are good, too.

:32:32
They'll help me.
:32:35
Don't cry.
:32:37
I can't lie!
:32:39
I can't say I'm sleeping over
at your house when I'm not.

:32:42
I can't go into New York
behind my parents' backs.

:32:44
I can't do it.
:32:45
We're not really
going behind their backs.

:32:47
They're gonna be in the city,
just not in the same venue.

:32:50
I'm not going.
:32:51
I'm not going.
:32:52
I'm not going.
:32:53
We're supposed to do
things like this.

:32:55
15-year-olds in other cultures
are grandmothers.

:32:58
No one gave them
permission to do that.

:32:59
It's not our fault
that the people

:33:01
who brought us into this world
:33:02
don't understand that we must
fly away from the nest.

:33:05
Nature is telling us to go.
:33:07
And our parents are good people.
:33:09
They love us.
:33:10
Yeah, they love us, right?
:33:12
They really love us.
:33:13
I'm sure they'd hate
if anything happened to us.

:33:19
Wait here one second, okay?
:33:22
Don't cry.
It's gonna work out.

:33:24
We'll go, and it'll be fun.
:33:26
I can't lie!
:33:31
Mom, it's amazing how sometimes
I come to your conclusions.

:33:35
Ella and I could use,
as you say, adult supervision.

:33:38
-Uh-huh.
-So here's the plan.

:33:40
You drive us to the train
in broad, broad daylight.

:33:43
Ella's parents are
going to be in New York.

:33:45
They'd be happy to pick us up
at Grand Central Station.

:33:48
They'll drop us off
at the concert.

:33:49
We'll stay overnight
at their hotel.

:33:51
Sounds so safe, I know.
:33:52
I can't believe
it came out of my head.

:33:54
Okay, I'm gonna have to talk
with Ella's mom and dad.

:33:56
Of course, and when you do it,
do it gently.

:33:59
-They know nothing about this.
-Mary!
