Landon replies to Dillon with a frustrated response of "No".

It's daylight outside and the morning as roommates Dillon Magnum and Landon Lofton are now apparently becoming accustom to this, but not enjoying being woken up by their same neighbors seemingly every morning at the apartment in St. Louis.

Dillon alludes to this yelling every morning and wondering what they're going through as he ponders with Landon.

Landon comments that they don't seem to have a dad or father figure around when Dillon adds that it's probably a divorce as that always seems to be the case nowadays.

After the arguing ad yelling from next door subsides for a bit, Jaris is heard yelling that she "can't take it anymore!" Dillon in a moment of sheer frustration states "when one of the neighbor kids wakes up the whole house explodes" he then proceeds to get up off the couch to find out whats going on by knocking on Jaris door.

#### Hayley Sundin

When Dillon opens the door, Hayley's sarcasm and straightforward personality comes through as she tells him "Don't look so thrilled, it's only me. My mom needs more flour for baking and we don't have time to go to the store so...." implying she needs to borrow some from him. Dillon moves slowly as he's a bit surprised by her visit.

Dillon replies that Brody shouldn't call her a nut and that he loves her. Dillon continues by stating he loves her a couple times in a row to get his point across while he gets orange juice to pour for him and Brody.

Brody continues his point while shaking his head. "She's a nut. I know about crazy girls, I used to be married to one and the best possible thing that happened to me was getting a divorce. You should avoid it altogether"

Dillon scoffs and replies to Brody with a question "So what you're saying is that I should avoid women altogether now?"

Brody quickly responds to tell Dillon that he's not saying that you should avoid women, he goes on to suggest that Dillon should avoid telling her that he loves her for the longest possible moment and to be careful. Brody then proceeds to state that "she's going to college in Jersey" and Dillon is going to college here in St. Louis and that Dillon shouldn't get too attached, especially while she's here on vacation.

Dillon pauses to analyze what Brody is saying then proceeds to tell Brody a lot of what he's describing is what he sees his students doing in (High School) going in and out of their "Make or break lovescapades relationships". Dillon further proceeds to tell Brody that his relationship is "this is a grown up big boy relationship me and Veronika are in right now".

Brody implies "Look she's as hot as a firecracker she's going to explode if you tell her you love her. Just be careful that's all I'm saying."

Dillon ends the scene with telling Brody he gets what he's saying, profoundly stating "but we don't fall in and out of love when one of us is talking to the enemy here and playing mind games with each other like some of our high-school students do with their girlfriends or boyfriends.

Ms. Lara Camille, adds to Dillon's statement with a bit of a sultry fondness for him in her body language and tone. She also adds that "Mr. Dillon here is right, the same goes for my geometry class, so you all better be preparing". Lara then proceeds to change the subject by asking Dillon directly and in front of the class, "Are you prepared to take me out to the ballgame tonight?"

Dillon replies that he has his SUV parked out front and ready to go onto the interstate to take his parents straight to the airport when Lara adds "Oh I wanted to meet the parents, but tomorrows another day to try" by pointing at him and giving him a blown kiss as she walks out of class.

Dillon offers to call Griffin's mom suggesting he shouldn't ride the bus home today offering to bring him home himself to Jaris on the phone.

Griffin is also telling his friend Khalil that he want's "No calls, no texts, no nothing" implying he's sick and doesn't want to be bothered over his quick cell phone call to him while Dillon is waiting for Jaris to pickup the phone.

Entering the classroom are several girl students who clearly care for Griffin and start talking to him while Dillon is on the phone.

Tessa Stockton walks in and immediately tells Griffin "If you throw up on me were threw Griffin!" as she is implying the two are a couple of some sort when Griffin response a bit forcefully "Were threw? We were never dating, there is no us!"

Ellie Cross adds to getting into Griffin's sick feeling business that is very evident around school now by stating "You are so déclassé Griffin!"

Griffin replies to Ellie that he's sick "that's french for get away from me."

Erin gives Griffin a video game disc back and Griffin tells her thank you, but calls her Emma not knowing her real first name. He then offers to let her borrow it again next weekend if she wants to as a first sign of liking her out of all the girls present.

Erin corrects Griffin, but in a nice way stating her name is "Erin" then smiles coyish as if she's embarrassed to say it to him.

Melody Hull walks by to tell Griffin "See you on the bus Griffin"

Dillon lets all the girls know that they don't want to be around him now and proceeds to tell Griffin "let's go buddy if you mom says you're feeling by Saturday and still want to get together with the girls and just watch the game or something." to make him feel better.

Griffin adds that the game sounds better and that he wants to show Dillon old career highlight reels of his dad as a "sweet baller" Dillon adds to confirm that Griffin's dad was a Swedish basketball player in the Ligan League.

Landon jokingly replies "You're kidding. Why did they call you Mustang Sally if your in a pickup truck."

Jaris, still to this day doesn't understand or pickup on Landon's sarcasm and goes into a crying pout, telling him "Exactly!". Landon replies "Well if were all done working over our siblings for a laugh maybe we can get to watching the game" and doesn't seem to feel bad for Jaris.

Mr. Neil replies to Guidry "Since I've been recently nominated to be a delegate I just assume to remain neutral on the topic. We all know that American schools tend to surpass these micro-budgets that get passed down by the politicians and then our goals and expectations go out the window. Look talk is cheap. I can certainly talk to the kids and convince them to apply for a college while they're here, but trying to create a culture of excellence by Box-Tops for education? That means were more desperate for money than we are capable of creating a culture of excellence, and I want no part of that!"

Dillon asks Veronika if she's been having a diet root-beer from that root-beer place. Veronika tells him "You know I can't have caffeine this late, so I'm drinking beer it gives me a jolt! I'm not some crazy drinking and driving lunatic you guys." as Landon mocks her with a hand gesture for drinking too much.

Bogroe adds "It looks bad that you're eavesdropping on us combined with alcohol and trying to sell us with the better health benefits of beer versus alcohol."

Dillon tries to take exception of Bogroe's statement and take sides a bit with Veronika on liking damsels in distress and how he has a few things to touch up on with her.

Veronika doesn't like Dillon's touching up and fixing of her habits and un-healthy behaviors when she's not around and calls him out on it essentially breaking up with him in front of his roommates.

## Background information

### Story and Script

Actress Dacey Geary playing Emma posses before shooting a precursor scene ultimately cut for the TV episode Friends, Family, and Freeloaders.

Actress Sydney Thomas was the only lead cast member to not appear in this episode. Her availability was limited to tape throughout much of the episode during production. She was present in one scene while she's on the phone in Mr. Stu Charles classroom with Savannah, however this scene was moved to the new pilot episode 1. When this script now became episode 2 and the scene moved, she did not appear in this episode.

Emma (Dacey Geary) sees Savannah (Rylee Cravens) in her car and tries to cheer her up

In Act Eleven, actress Dacey Geary, whom played the librarian aide Emma, in one other scene at East Valley academy, was part of this scene in the story and was taped during production. Emma sees Savannah in her car crying and tries to cheer her up after she leaves a restaurant table to come alongside and assist. Producer Bryan Kreutz was not able to supervise this editing session and was disappointed this portion of the scene had to be cut due to time restrictions for the TV episode. Kreutz went on to say this part of the script was important to show the sympathy of upperclassman Emma, who likely had been through a similar breakup situation that Savannah was feeling at the time and wanted to comfort her.

In Act Fourteen, there were additional ad-libbed scenes that were improvised out of surprise and non-scripted following the events when Mr. Neil leaves Lara Camille in charge of his class. Director Bryan Kreutz and DP Mike Frolos kept the cameras rolling after Neil leaves when actress Camille Marolf, who plays Lara, starts talking to students Erin and Miri about guys that could be boyfriends, cute guys, according to Erin, and Camille adds its also a discussion about creepy guys. The dialogue went so well that Kreutz had Frolos keep and mark the shots as part of inclusion. Younger actresses Malissa and Erin fed the lines ad-libbed very well by taking the lead from actress Camille Marolf. Kreutz complimented them, particularly Camille Marolf, for making it sound so believable. Due to time restrictions for the TV episode only a few of the takes made it into the final cut for the TV episode and were placed slightly later than the full act fourteen.

### Production

Neil McDonald and Jamie Fritz on the set seconds before a take of the episode Friends, Family, and Freeloaders

The audio from Act One of Roxy and Jaris talking loudly and yelling were done in ADR by both actresses separately and beforehand to help actors Brayden Patterson and Cody Jarvis react to the yelling more within the scene. These were later edited into the final version to make it sound like they were yelling closely but through a wall. The parts of scene six with Jaris and Roxy were shot together for the original pilot script when Brody follows the girls Hayley and Thea in to play video games, but split into separate scenes. One for the new pilot and video game aforementioned scene and this scene when Griffin comes home sick with Dillon giving him advice. Roxy opens the door for her mom Jaris at the location in St. Louis, Missouri, while all the takes when the door opens with Griffin and Dillon were shot at the Pontoon beach, Illinois location on a different day. All was then edited together for consistency, but out of necessity due to location availability for the production schedule to move along.

There were two scenes that needed to be re-shot in part due to actor availability. The School board scene was shot on two separate occasions to show more teachers in the board room (Five total) talking to Principal Guidry at the podium.

The sports store scene had several portions removed beforehand with the roommates talking in the car with dialogue. This was removed because of the poor weather and lighting as the scene was shot at night and in frigid weather. Also Landon's presence was almost all but removed as he arrived late to the set and was unable to join the cast for scenes shot establishing the opening of the door and walking into the sports store. The actor arrived later and well into lines where Londyn was already talking to them both, now singly Dillon to by shorts for the school on a tight budget.

The last part of the scene cut was where Londyn asks Landon to try on the skorts in the dressing room, but he defers to Dillon. This part also had a line where Brody returned and joined in on the laughs of trying of Dillon trying on skorts.

This episode featured location shots at the same building, within different businesses for six different  scenes. The Griffin dribbling exteriors and all four cafe scenes were all filmed at the Cafe Pintxos. Londyn's sports store clerk scene at Triumph motorcycle shop. Savannah's pouting conversation at her bathroom in the oversized washroom area of Hotel Ignacio and Savannah/Shane's dinner dance at the Moto Museum. All were filmed in the same sound stage studio style building open for businesses in midtown on Olive street near St. Louis University in the city of St. Louis Missouri. Location management was coordinated and arranged by Jennifer Langford.
The building and locations within it would be a staple throughout the series run. Other spots in the building were used later, particularly the hotel lobby living room area overlooking the restaurant and cafe.

### Credits sequences

Also Starring credit sequence following the opening title sequence

Unlike the first episode, following the opening title sequence, the *Also Starring* name credits appeared in a much different font from episode 1. The episode fonts were white boxed name plates of each actor that matched the style of the opening title style logo and main actors and continued for several minutes. This was for the "also starring" and "writer/producer" credits that follow the opening credits sequence.

### Sets and props

The white hockey helmet seen on the banister

Dillon and Landon's apartment is full of set pieces that were props. During the original pilot, which had much of the footage present in this 2nd episode, the living room had a boat oar with the last name Kreutz written in black marker on it. The Oar was Director Kreutz's uncle's, who let him use it for the series along with a larger than scale yellow pencil seen above the fire place. Additional items at the apartment were a Hartford Whalers hockey jersey, hockey stick, and white CCM hockey helmet, seen sometimes on the banister railing behind the couch. Later in subsequent episodes Billy Ingoldsby would bring in a larger than scale white toothbrush to lean against the front door frame and Kreutz would bring in an actual Rally-X arcade game cabinet located in between the living room and kitchen alongside a small un-opened 1986 "Aliens" movie action figure of Ellen Ripley on the shelf. The action figure was a duplicate of one given to actor Cody Jarvis by Kreutz when he first was cast in the show.

Mr. Neil holds a globe and a map of Missouri behind him in class

Mr. Neil was holding a globe of the planet Earth in this episode that was used in many classroom scenes in the backdrop along with the large Map of Missouri next to the chalkboard. The globe and map were director Bryan Kreutz's since childhood and were provided to enhance the classroom sets for the series.
