Logan's Version

LV 5 (scene 17) - Visuals Got Taste For Impressions

The scene opens outside Clarkson High. Kelsea, Harleen, and Sigourney are walking from school while discussing in low voices. Or, rather, audible whispers. They stop by a snacks store to continue discussing.
Kelsea: (talking to Harleen) I don't know if it's just me, but did you notice anything new about Logan recently?
Harleen: I thought I was the only one who noticed. (In a silent whisper) U know, I think he's so much better when he's playful than when he's so sad and lonely
Sigourney: Who's this Yariel guy you're dumping your crush and your boyfriend for? [laugh track] And I think you mean Hudson
Harleen: NO, Hudson is different. Yariel's Jewish. He's a really cool guy. We went for his bar mitzvah 2 years ago. (She shows Sigourney a picture of Yariel on her phone) This is what he looks like.
Sigourney: (shrugs and grins) OK. He's alright.
Kelsea: And his smile was over the top. (She twirls her hair in a flirty manner) It was the best.
Harleen: One problem, Kels. You have a boyfriend, so back off my man [laugh track]
Sigourney: I just wanna say this. Don't let the other guys know you're hovering over Yariel. It's going to be a disaster.
Kelsea: You're exaggerating, Sigourney.
Harleen: Sure, they're human. But they don't get that jealous over someone like Yariel. They have no idea that we've been checking him out.
Sigourney: If I know guys well, we shouldn't make it obvious that we're crushing on them. That's our thing [brief laugh track]. And I've got the perfect solution.

Meanwhile, from a distance, Jesse, Danny, and Rudra are watching the girls discussing and laughing, each boy taking turns using binoculars.
Danny: (holding binoculars) She did those eyes?! I saw her, she did those eyes! (He removes the binoculars) They have no idea we know they're talking about Yariel.
Jesse: Just cut the crap and admit you're jealous.
Rudra: Firstly, Danny, Kelsea is just saying what she saw, and she's dating Hudson. Secondly, according to research...
Jesse/Danny: (groan in nerd alert) NOOOO! [brief laugh track]
Rudra: (ignores them) Yariel just wore a leather jacket and jeans that look like sweatpants. Girls are attracted to that, no matter who wears it.
Danny: Didn't you wear the same thing for drama club day and no one noticed?
Rudra: Shut up [laugh track]
Danny: And why should I even be jealous? I'm just her see her as a friend.
Jesse: (looks at Danny) That's what they all say.
Danny: We have to fix this. Kelsea will remember me, I mean us, if we can make Yariel become the dull soul he used to be. Like Rudra is right now.
Rudra: Wow, Danny, that's not insulting at all [brief laugh track]. I'm not getting dragged into this.
Jesse: It's also going to backfire.
Danny: Jesse, we made a best friend pact promise
Jesse: We lied to each other about that. We were 5 years old [laugh track]
Danny: Useless (Jesse falls to the ground with one push. Rudra widens his eyes in surprise) [laugh track]. (He looks through the binoculars while Jesse stands up) This is pointless! I'm starting to think that Kelsea and Harleen like Yariel, now. She used to like me before. Kelsea always liked me to be myself.
Rudra: (scoffs) That was the problem [laugh track]
Danny: That's not the point. If Yariel continues like this, our friendship will experience an unforeseen imbalance.
Jesse: (concerned) What kind of imbalance?
Danny: It will create some weird form of butterfly effect. And I heard they are not good like the butterfly itself [laugh track]
Rudra: Danny, nothing will go wrong
Jesse: You just trippin', Daniel.
Danny: (raises an eye) Dude, did you just call me Daniel?
Jesse: That's literally your name [brief laugh track]

The next day, Allison is driving Logan to the Denverado set.
Allison: Do you know the best part about all this? There is no clash in schedules. Once you're done with The Real Life Of A Teen Star, you'll go back to Vegas, and we can focus on that fancy telenovela you auditioned for.
Logan: You say fancy like it's not fancy. But either way, I can't wait. Plus, I won't have Jesse's friends coming over 8 times a week [laugh track]
Allison: Yeah, that reminds me. Aren't we supposed to drop Jesse off at school?
Logan: You're the one behind the wheels. So, obviously, yeah.
Allison: Let's do a behind-the-scenes to check up on Jesse. (Allison slows down a bit as both Logan and herself turn their heads back to check on Jesse. But they look somewhat surprised when they do)
Yariel: (unbothered) Do you mind? I'm trying to listen to Fortnight by Taylor & Post. Great song, by the way [laugh track]. (Allison and Logan exchange surprised glances at each other before turning back to focus on driving)
Allison: (exhales) That is a GREAT song!
Logan: Allison?!
Allison: I'm stating facts, Logan. Deal with it [brief laugh track]. Besides, there has to be a logical explanation for Jesse shapeshifting into one of his friends.
Logan: (to Yariel) Why are you here instead of Jesse?
Yariel: Jesse owes me money. So as payment, he let me ride with the great Logan Hilson - somehow [laugh track].
Logan: Hey, cool leather jacket. What's the occasion? Celebrating 24 hours of not being friend zoned like Rudra, I see [laugh track]
Yariel: I decided to try dressing like the cool kid in school for a week. Hudson is my source of inspiration.
Allison: Kelsea's boyfriend? Isn't he a jock?
Yariel: Yeah, but jocks and cheerleaders aren't the only category of cool. I'm going for popular Queen Bee. Result, everyone swarming around me like bees to their honey and their queen.
Logan: But you're a guy -
Allison/Yariel: Stop logicking! [heavy laugh track]
Allison: (whispering to Logan) Something tells me Jesse didn't just get Yariel out of school for that. They're up to those shenanigans that they act in reality shows. Great discovery, right?
Logan: Yeah, the song just speaks to me. Let's roll those wheels! [laugh track].
Allison: You got it, boss! (She swerves the car and ends up driving towards the side of the road, causing Logan and Yariel to yell in terror. The sound of tires screeching is heard offscreen, and there's a loud bang. Soon enough, a tyre is shown rolling down the road [laugh track])
Logan: (offscreen) NOT LITERALLY, ALLISON! [another laugh track] (The tyre continues rolling down, then another comes tumbling after)
