Beck
Wait, we have the same tattoo
Caleb
Hehe probably not. Hey you hungry? Let’s grab a bite
Caleb
You know let’s just step outside. It’s a little warm in here. Don’t you think?
Beck
Holy crap this is great!
Beck
This is gonna be so easy!
Caleb
This can’t be happening…
Beck
I don’t even have to convince you!
Caleb
Convince me? The hell are you going on about?
Beck
Well, I kinda planned on showcasing everything I’ve learned for you from the troupe
Beck
to show you that I’m serious about it
Beck
That way, you would help me convince Sarah that I’m mature enough to be with her
Caleb
So you graduated already huh?
Beck
Got the tattoo and monkey to prove it.
Caleb
What was your fire size at ceremony?
Beck
Three bowling balls deep
Caleb
Hah, not bad. Pickle maze rate?
Beck
Fourteen spreads a minute
Caleb
Whoa now, big numbers over here. Alright what about your mole molds?
Beck
Crisper than a piece of toast in Hawaii. Stale at 450 degrees flat.
Caleb
Hey oh, you may be more of a natural than I thought.
Beck
Great! So you’ll help me
Caleb
Absolutely not. Sarah can’t know about any of this. Not about me
Beck
I don’t understand…you just said I’m good.
Caleb
Yeah, you are good.
Beck
So if you’re saying that as clown Mr. Crane she’ll change her mind instantly!
Caleb
That’s not the point Beck
Beck
Then…what’s the problem?
Beck
Why are you so desperate to keep this a secret?
Beck
It’s such a rare talent…
Caleb
She just can’t ever know
Caleb
I don’t want her to be affected by that part of my life
Caleb
And I don’t want you affecting hers with yours
Beck
But dude she’ll love it when she sees what you can d-
Caleb
Beck! She doesn’t find out, okay?
Beck
Fine. Help me win her back and she won’t find out.
Beck
That’s the deal. Convince her I’m worth it and I’ll keep my mouth shut
Caleb
But I just told you tha-
Caleb
That’s how you got into the troupe in the first place, huh
Beck
They didn’t make it easy. But you gotta do what you gotta do, right?
Caleb
And I just have to approve you? Then we’re square?
Beck
As square as the dancing will be this weekend
Caleb
The Hip-Hop Square stop! That’s this weekend?!
Beck
I knew the clown still lived inside you
Caleb
The clown never dies kid…remember that
Beck
Super ominous all of a sudden, but yeah. Duly noted.
Beck
So are we good to go now?
Caleb
Yeah. I’ll talk to her when she gets back
Beck
Nope, I’m gonna be here.
Caleb
I need to make sure you sing my praises with the highest of honors
Caleb
Jesus, kid. Ya killin me here
Beck
Pleasure doin business with you.
Caleb
Sarah! It’s so nice of you to join us.
Sarah
You called me downstairs…
Caleb
I was just telling your friend here how much I admire his prerogative
Caleb
It’s not an easy thing to speak to someone’s father...
Caleb
especially with the elegance he has shown today
Sarah
We talking about the same Beck?
Beck
Still right here, you know
Beck
We’ve been hitting it off just fine!
Sarah
Great. So what’s up?
Caleb
Well, he’s explained the situation to me very clearly
Caleb
But I want you to know that Beck here is a bright young man
Caleb
And looking at him here now, I…
Caleb
I uhh…I’m sorry…I can’t do this
Caleb
Sarah, break up with Beck for good
Caleb
He’ll never be what you need in a man
Beck
Sarah your dad’s a clown!
Beck
He’s a clown and he’s hid it from you for all your life!
Caleb
Sarah! Don’t listen to him. Your boyfriend’s a moron, remember?
Caleb
What? She’s said it earlier
Caleb
When she told me you wanted to talk to me
Beck
WELL LET’S JUST ALL SHIT ON BECK TODAY
Sarah
Oh my god everyone shut up!
Sarah
Dad…tell me the truth
Caleb
…Sarah…I was a clown. I used to be.
Caleb
I put that part of my life behind me when you were born.
Sarah
And how did you find out?
Beck
He has the same tattoo that I do!
Beck
Well, I guess I have the same one he does.
Sarah
Beck…did you blackmail my dad?
Sarah
Blackmail, Beck. Did you just blackmail my dad?
Beck
Well, I wouldn’t call it blackmailin-
Sarah
What the hell would you call it?
Sarah
You made him promise to help you if you kept his secret.
Sarah
That’s blackmailing.
Sarah
And then you went and told me anyway!
Beck
Hey! he broke his end of the bargain too!
Caleb
Because I know what’s best for my daughter and it’s not you!
Sarah
Oh no no you don’t get to tell anybody what’s best for me
Sarah
Not after keeping this a secret from me for so long.
Sarah
You were telling me to get back with him.
Sarah
You’re a grown ass man! And you let this kid blackmail you?
Sarah
I feel like I don’t even know you!
Caleb
Sweety if you just let me explain-
Sarah
No. No more explaining. I’m going to a friend’s
Sarah
I can’t be here tonight.
Sarah
Don’t call me that. I’ll see both of you jerks later
Beck
Man…that did not go as planned.
Beck
Well, what are you doing now?
Caleb
Beck I think we should just call it a night
Beck
I have my first troupe review in a few days… wanna help me with my routine?
Caleb
I don’t know if that’s a good idea…
Beck
What else you got going on?
Caleb
That depends on your act…croissants marching or dew surfing?
Beck
Please. Tree trunk skunks.
Caleb
Now that’s what I call ambition.
Caleb
Gimme a ticket to the show this weekend and you got a deal.
Beck
I’ll grab the plums.
Caleb
I’ll grab some beers.
