ABBY LEE: OK, Kendall, you're fine, you're just not as sharp.
You just get there, like, just a--
like, a hair late.
Do you notice that?
KENDALL: I love Abby.
She's my music manager.
But it's not like she owns me.
I'm not her product.
I'm a person.
I'm a human.
OK, listen to me.
This is the first competition of the season.
While you're off doing the singing and the acting
and the movie and this and that and the other thing,
everybody else is grabbing their leg
and pulling it over their head.
And those are the people that are going to end
up beating you in the long run.
The dancing has to come first, and that's what
you all seem to be forgetting.
JILL: I can speak for my child.
She doesn't want to be a competition
dancer the rest of her life.
She wants to sing and dance and act.
I've put my trust and all of my faith in Abby.
I just need to know what her plans are.
I want what's best for you.
Well, you're not doing that.
I had to stand in there and listen to Abby--
KENDALL: Leave.
Let's go.
JILL: OK.
ABBY LEE: What's wrong?
JILL: She wants you to manage her.
She wants all this.
She needs to work harder, Jill.
Abby--
ABBY LEE: She was in ballet class last night,
she was a mess.
She was a hot mess.
Let's go, Kendall.
I'm not putting up with it.
Come on. Let's go.
If you think she's a hot mess and you can't manage her,
then someone else will.
ABBY LEE: I want her to be better.
And no other kid was a hot mess?
- They all were. - OK--
Some of them didn't even--
Could you tell their parents in front of their kid
that their kids were hot messes?
Every single one of them was a hot mess.
Why do you always pick on mine?
I didn't. You asked me.
You're starting this.
I did not ask you "Was my kid a hot mess in ballet?"
I have to go. ABBY LEE: Kendall-- Kendall--
JILL: I cannot--
ABBY LEE: What is wrong with you, honey?
JILL: Kendall.
Kendall.
Kendall, stop.
[music playing]
JILL: You hold your head high in there.
That fight between Abby and I, that's between us.
It's an argument.
I just wanted to say, you could have done it in private,
not in front of us.
I understand that, but she starts it,
and I'm not going to let her walk all over us.
And I'm sorry if I upset you.
That's the last thing in the world I would ever do.
Well, you did.
Well, I--
I will try hard not to, but I need you to go in there
and be the Kendall that everybody knows and loves, OK?
OK.
All right, let's go.
I know Kendall doesn't like to see me argue with Abby,
but it's heartbreaking for me to sit back and watch Kendall
get passed by for Brynn.
Kendall has worked too hard to be Abby's number two,
and I can't let that go to waste.
Sit down here with me.
OK, that whole thing that happened yesterday,
that was not me yelling at you.
That was your mother screaming about something,
and then you getting upset.
I look at you and think that you don't work hard enough.
And I think your mother looks at you
and looks at the hour you wake up and the hour you go to sleep
and sees what you're doing, and thinks,
oh, my god, this kid is working so hard.
But I'm not seeing it.
You got to figure it out.
JILL: I'm angry that she brought that up like that was my fault.
That was not my fault, but I don't want to upset Kendall.
And then she's mad at me so she going straight to Kendall.
MOM: She knows how to get to you.
JILL: And if she only knew everything we
could have been doing all summer,
and I didn't, out of loyalty to her.
But now I've got to think, well, wait a minute,
everybody is going to pass me up and pass me by.
Sometimes, you got to take chances.
So are you saying at this point,
if an opportunity presents itself--
whether it's with Abby or without Abby--
if it's right for Kendall, you're
going to take advantage of it?
If it's a great opportunity that can catapult her,
absolutely.
I need to focus on Kendall's future,
and if it means doing things without Abby, so be it.
