Housekeeping.

It's a little early.

You're lucky it's just me.

Could be my ass.

Do you know who I am?

Yeah.

You're the T-Man. "I'm
Gonna Make You Mine."

You're Trucker.



Your turn.

I'm Sadie Flood.

I sing.

This is great.

This is my happy home,
my retreat from care.

There's a place for everything,

and everything's in its place.

It's how I keep track.
You understand?

Who are you expecting?

♫ Well, hell, it ain't ♫
♫ Ain't nobody's business ♫

What did you think
you were doing?

You need to do what I tell you.

What?

If we gonna go this journey,

I don't mean for you
to look at, talk to,

or fraternize.

My sidemen got friends.
They don't need friends.

You're with me.

Respect it.

Hello, Chasman.

How you doing?

Great. I'm great. This is great.

How are you?

That's so great.

I guess I'm gonna
have to kill you.

Joke, Sadie.

Blanks.

♫ I can't stand it ♫

♫ You're foolin' around ♫

♫ I can't stand it ♫

♫ You're runnin' around ♫

♫ You're foolin' around ♫
♫ With my heart ♫

...tomorrow, once the fog
clears, with highs near 70.

Currently 68 across.

And that's the lowdown.
Mike Jones reporting.

More pure rock.

No-repeat workdays
with no useless talk.

99.9 FM, KISW.

Seattle's best rock.

We're here.

Where's the cat?

Bummer.

♫ Let us pause ♫
♫ On life's pleasures ♫

♫ And count its many tears ♫

♫ While we all share sorrow ♫
♫ With the poor ♫

♫ There's a song ♫
♫ That will linger ♫

♫ Forever in our ears ♫

♫ Oh, hard times ♫
♫ Come again no more ♫

♫ It's a song ♫

♫ A sigh of the weary ♫

♫ Hard times, hard times ♫

♫ Come again no more ♫

♫ Many days have you lingered ♫

♫ Around my cabin door ♫

♫ Oh, hard times ♫
♫ Come again no more ♫

♫ While we seek mirth ♫
♫ And beauty ♫

♫ And music bright and gay ♫

♫ There are frail forms ♫
♫ Fainting at the door ♫

♫ And though their voices ♫
♫ Are silent ♫

♫ Their fleeting looks ♫
♫ Will say ♫

♫ Oh, hard times ♫
♫ Come again no more ♫

♫ It's a song ♫

♫ A sigh of the weary ♫

♫ Hard times, hard times ♫

♫ Come again no more ♫

♫ Many days have you lingered ♫

♫ Around my cabin door ♫

♫ Oh, oh, hard times ♫
♫ Come again no more ♫

♫ Oh, hard times ♫
♫ Come again no more ♫

♫ No more hard times ♫

♫ Times ♫

Stephen Foster, 1859.

Whoo! Whoo!

Thank you.

We've been trying out new songs.

I knew you'd be here.

I didn't know I'd be here.

Well, I felt you out there.

Hey, Mish is here.
Did you see Mish?

Andrew's asleep in
the dressing room.

He'll wander out in a minute.

God, you look amazing.

Well, you always look amazing.

I look like shit, Jake.

No, not to me. Never.

This is Chasman.

Hiya.

This is Jake.

Best man in the world.

Hiya.

Uh, could I get you
something to eat?

How you doing, Sadie?

No, thanks, Jake.

Incredible out there
tonight, huh?

Pretty intense.

So how you doing? Great.

I heard you were
with the Trucker.

That true?

For about half a second.
You heard that?

He's my man, you know.

You heard that, huh?

Oh, God. Heh-heh.

God.

Good to see you.

You were great out there, man.

So in-fucking-credibly great.

You tear me up, you know?

What did Dad used to say?
"God kissed her.

God kissed that girl."

God, I'm glad you're here.

Well.

Well.

Hey, Mish. Hey.

I get a hug? Sure.

You don't have to. No, sure.

That was great.

So are you drinking?

You know me. Whatever's
cheap or free.

So you're here in Seattle?

Looks like it.

Hello.

This is Chasman.

Hi.

He's with me. Oh?

Came up from San Francisco.
Saved my life.

Oh.

Hello. I'm a fan.

So Sadie said you
were her sister.

Chasman's a promoter.

Oh. What do you promote?

Me.

Sadie's among my clients.
Yeah, my star client.

I met Sadie in San Francisco.

I'm from London originally.

Oh?

Balham. You can hear the accent.

Where are you staying?

Well, I thought, you know, I'd
come home for a little maybe.

Oh, that'd be great.

Ferguson heard you
were with Trucker.

What, Hewitt Trucker?

"I'm Gonna Make You
Mine." Trucker, yeah.

For about, half a minute, yeah.

You're great. You were great tonight.
What you do up there.

Thank you.

I know you think that
sounds like bullshit.

No.

We're staying in town tonight.

Let us get you a
room at the hotel.

Unless you...

That's be great.

So you're thinking of
staying with us a little?

Until I got settled.

That's fantastic.

I could help with the house.

Well, maybe not.

Has someone got
an eye on Andrew?

Andrew's fine.

Mish, you wanna
go see to Andrew?

Sure. See you, Sadie.

You bet.

What are your plans?

Chasman. He's gotta go back.

Not tonight.

No, not tonight.

Not tomorrow, maybe, not either.

It's a long ride.

Well, we'll see, won't we?

There's tons of food over there.

Could I fix you a plate?

Well, I was thinking
of you guys actually.

♫ Whose honey are you? ♫

♫ Whose tea do you sweeten? ♫

♫ With sugar and spice ♫
♫ And everything nice ♫

♫ Depend upon you ♫

♫ You got a tiny little touch ♫
♫ Of heaven ♫

♫ In her fingertips ♫

♫ Singha beer ♫
♫ Don't ask no questions ♫

♫ Singha beer ♫
♫ Don't tell no lies ♫

♫ Singha beer ♫
♫ Don't ask no questions ♫

I mean, it fired loud.

But I didn't get
hit by anything.

He had guns everywhere.

He just always thinks
people are doing him in.

And so he's always
expecting, like, a siege.

Mish?

So everybody's out to get you.

And also... germs.

He has a thing about germs.

And the faucet

had to be right in the
middle of the sink,

or his life was ruined.

Come on, you guys.

You want me to take them?
No, I'll take them.

Well, Sadie's here.
I'll take them.

Andrew!

Is there brown sugar?

And he would do these
midnight raids

where he would look
through the cupboards

to see if I'd eaten anything.

Mish.

Are there any grapes?

He's definitely
multiple personalities.

I mean, there were
three main ones,

and two were very mean.

And then there were,
like, subgroups.

There you go, Druid.

He'd roll a joint big as cigars.

He was real nice when he smoked.

He'd become really mellow.

He could smoke two huge
spliffs and still sing great.

And, you know, he can
be so wonderful.

He can be such a
fabulous singer.

He has great vocal range,
great breath control.

You guys have about 20 minutes

before you have to
be out that door.

That woman can
sure as hell sing.

As opposed to what?

Did I say something?

I didn't mean
anything by it, Jake.

Everything's Jake, Jake.

Is she gonna stay?

Don't know.

Mish, you're gonna
ruin your eyes.

What are you doing?

It's 8:00 in the morning.

You need not to do that
around the kids, okay?

Wouldn't.

I don't need to say I'm
grateful I'm here.

No, Sadie.

How was the tour?

It was great.

I wasn't on the tour.

Oh?

I don't manage the band anymore.

No?

Not for six years, Sadie.

You don't know what the
hell I do, do you?

I do.

Sure, I do.

You are so fucked.

I do!

I teach and I write.

I knew that.

I want to start
working the farm.

I like doing stuff
with my hands.

They think they own her.

I'd be walking around,

making sure the sound was
good and everything's fine,

and I've had guys go,
"Hey, you with the band?

God, I'd like to fuck her."

You know, you gotta bland it off.
You know?

See, we've been through it.

She slept with somebody,
so I slept with somebody,

or we thought we were gonna
sleep with somebody.

The fights are one
thing, but the sex...

We hurt each other.

We've done just about
every lie there is.

And sometimes I am amazed

that somehow we're still here.

And all I can think about is
that I fell in love with her

the moment I laid eyes on her.

She's Georgia, you know?

And we're gonna
grow old together.

I stripped the beds.

You didn't need to do that.

Yeah, well, sure, I did.

It's pouring, Sadie.

And you hang them out.
How dumb to forget.

Well, no harm done.

I borrowed this, okay?

Whatever. It's fine.

You don't need to clean
the house, Sadie.

I was cleaning motel rooms.

Really.

No, really.

Oh, God. Sadie reduced to that.

Or is there anything Sadie
can't be reduced to?

You want to give
me a break, Sadie?

You want to give me one?

I can feel what you're feeling.

No.

No, you can't.

You can't feel what I'm feeling.
You aren't me.

I think we should
not get into this.

Fine. Better for me.

Shit.

Dad's coming to stay
a week, Friday.

I'll be here.

Gets really tense, Sadie.

I'll be here, okay?

How's he doing?

Fine.

I think fine.

I think all right.

You need some money?

Yeah.

Yeah. Something to
get started on.

I'm good for it.

I don't want you
to be good for it.

It pleases me to be
able to give it to you.

I love being able
to give it to you.

Okay.

Things are gonna break for me.

There is not a doubt in my mind.

This has all gotta
be about something.

This whole... adventure.

Everything is stored
for later use.

There must be a pony.

♫ There she goes again ♫

♫ There she goes ♫

♫ She's knocked out ♫
♫ On her feet again ♫

♫ There she goes ♫

♫ She's down on her knees ♫
♫ My friend ♫

♫ There she goes ♫

♫ She'll never ask you ♫
♫ Please again ♫

♫ There she goes ♫

♫ Now take a look ♫

♫ There's no tears in her eyes ♫

♫ Like a bird, you know ♫
♫ She will fly, fly, fly away ♫

♫ Fly, fly ♫
♫ Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly ♫

♫ Just see her walkin' ♫
♫ Down the street ♫

♫ Fly, fly, fly, fly ♫

♫ Look at all your friends ♫
♫ She's gonna meet ♫

♫ Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly ♫

♫ She's gonna go downtown ♫

♫ Fly, fly ♫
♫ Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly ♫

♫ Gonna go downtown ♫
♫ Go downtown ♫

♫ Gonna shoot it up, baby ♫
♫ Shoot it up, baby ♫

Thank you.

We're gonna take a little break.

Everybody, buy a pitcher of beer.
We like the gig.

Whatever he's
drinking, I'm buying.

You want another round?

No.

Nice dress.

It's Georgia's.

I hear you're looking
for a backup singer.

And where'd you hear that?

I made it up.

Come on, Bobby.

I want two solos.

Come on, Bobby. We
were good together.

Leland's still with you.
And Paul?

You want to sit in?

Yeah.

How was San Francisco?

Had a few gigs.

Got myself a manager.

Yeah?

You had a gig with Trucker.

Yeah. Unreal.

Want to welcome a good friend.

Georgia's baby
sister, Sadie Flood.

Come on, y'all! Give it up!

"Almost Blue."

Hi.

Hi.

Comrade.

♫ Almost blue ♫

♫ Almost doing things we ♫

♫ Used to do ♫

♫ There's a boy here and he's ♫

♫ Almost you ♫

♫ Almost ♫

♫ All the things ♫

♫ That you promised ♫
♫ With your eyes ♫

♫ I see in his too ♫

♫ Now your eyes are red ♫

♫ From cryin' ♫

♫ Almost blue ♫

♫ Flirting with this disaster ♫
♫ Became me ♫

♫ It named me as a fool ♫

♫ Who only aimed to leave ♫

♫ Almost blue ♫

♫ Almost touching it will ♫

♫ Almost do ♫

♫ There's a part of me that's ♫

♫ Always true ♫

♫ Always ♫

♫ All the things ♫

♫ That you promised ♫
♫ With your eyes ♫

♫ I see in his too ♫

♫ Now your eyes are red ♫

♫ From cryin' ♫

♫ Almost you ♫

♫ Almost me ♫

♫ Almost ♫

♫ Blue ♫

Okay.

Thank you.

I forgot how much I
love this place.

Only a couple of days, Sadie.
That's it.

Scout's honor.

If we take you on, the first
time you fuck us over...

I'm not gonna fuck you over.

'Cause the band's doing okay.

I'm not going to fuck
you over, Bobby.

You show up standing up.

Both.

You've been out of
my life, Sadie.

I don't want you back
in, not like before.

Yeah, I know. Okay.

Don't shit where you eat.
It's top of the list.

Sadie, with the makeup? A
hair less of everything.

You're the boss.

Did you fuck him?

Who?

Trucker.

No.

♫ Sally is losin' her face ♫

♫ She lives on ♫
♫ St. Mark's Place ♫

♫ In a rent-controlled ♫
♫ Apartment, $80 a month ♫

♫ She has lots of fun ♫
♫ She has lots of fun ♫

♫ Sally can't dance no more ♫

♫ Oh, Sally can't dance ♫
♫ No more ♫

♫ She went and carried on and ♫
♫ Can't get off of the floor ♫

Supposed to rain tomorrow.

Nobody answer the phone!

See you guys.

See you.

Which one's Mellon?

Me.

What, nobody answers
their phone anymore?

What, do you think you're
gonna play in this?

Hey, we got a gig,
man, we show up.

Yeah, right.

We love you, Seattle!

♫ Keep straight ahead ♫
♫ For the most glorious place ♫

♫ On the face of the earth ♫

♫ Or the sky ♫

♫ Hold onto your heart ♫
♫ Hold onto your hat ♫

♫ Hold onto your dreams ♫

♫ This magical place ♫
♫ Is more than it seems ♫

We'll be back in 15.

Great song. You're great!

Okay, pal, you too.

What'd you have, Sadie?

It was blow.

I would've took it.

I offered, Herman.

Was I there?

Yeah, Herman.

Wow.

What do you want
with blow, Herman?

What'd you do with it?

I flushed it.

Well, I wish you'd have asked.

You know where you are, Herman?

We're in a fucking
bowling alley.

You got a way home?

Yeah. Leland.

Delivery.

Yeah!

Thanks.

Uh, Mr. Bruno had me stop at
the liquor store on the way.

Mr. Bruno's a great man.

How much do I owe you?

Um, groceries are $4.53,

and the liquor is...

$36.60.

Come in.

Gotta take those down.

Never get a chance to
pick up, you know?

Days just... Pfft.

...get away from me.

That's $41.13.

Are you all right?

What?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I mean, I'm not a
maniac or anything.

And there's a little
something for you.

Hey, you know, I don't... I
don't feel right about that.

Well, it's not a lot, and
I'd like you to have it.

I know who you are.

Yeah?

Well, I try to catch you.

Well, I'm glad you're out there.

No, I do, whenever you...

I think you're great.

"Only Blue"?

"Almost Blue."

Yeah.

That's a great song.

Well, that's Mr. Costello.

I don't know.
Everything you do...

Guess I'm making a
perfect ass of myself.

Yeah, I guess so.

What would you think
if I sort of hung out?

You know, like,
hung out with you.

Made myself useful.

I could do that.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Wouldn't have to be...

You know, I mean,
that's not why.

Then why?

I didn't mean to offend you.

I have the highest
respect for you.

I have been brought up

to have the highest
respect for women.

Very much so.

How old are you?

Twenty-three.

What's your name?

Axel.

Well, I'm gonna
have a drink, Axel.

Would you like one?

Don't drink.

You're a very nice person, Axel.

Thank you.

♫ I'll be your mirror ♫
♫ Reflect what you are ♫

♫ In case you don't know ♫

♫ I'll be the wind ♫
♫ The rain, and the sunset ♫

♫ The light on your door ♫
♫ To show that you are home ♫

♫ When you think the night ♫
♫ Has seen your mind ♫

♫ That inside ♫
♫ You're twisted and unkind ♫

♫ Let me stand to show ♫
♫ That you are blind ♫

♫ Please put down your hands ♫

♫ 'Cause I see you ♫

♫ I'll be your mirror ♫

♫ Reflect that you are ♫

♫ I'll be your mirror ♫

♫ Reflect what you are ♫

♫ I'll be your mirror ♫

♫ Reflect what you are ♫

♫ I find it hard ♫
♫ To believe you don't... ♫

♫ A light in the darkness ♫

♫ So you won't be afraid ♫

♫ When you think the night ♫
♫ Has seen your mind ♫

♫ That inside ♫
♫ You're twisted and unkind ♫

♫ Let me stand to show ♫
♫ That you are blind ♫

♫ Please put down your hands ♫

♫ 'Cause I see you ♫

♫ I'll be your mirror ♫

♫ Reflect what you are ♫

♫ I'll be your mirror ♫

♫ Reflect what you are ♫

Sorry, hon.

It's all right, Bobby.

Why'd you leave me, Bobby?

She's not gonna get sick
in the Rabbit, is she?

It's the fucking Nyquil, man.

Don't get pissed at me.

Don't get sick in the
Rabbit, okay, Sadie?

She just slid down the wall, you know?
Passed out.

Nothing major.

To your right.

I'm with her.

You know I love you, Bobby.

'Cause you taught me to
listen to the bottom.

Bass and drums, man.

Shut up, Sadie.

Don't play it. Don't lie it.

If you're gonna do it, be it.
Try it.

Don't you wish you'd
said it, Sadie?

Don't cut me loose, Bobby.

I'll disappear.

Do yourself a favor.

What kind of a thing
is that to say?

You used to be able to
get my clothes off.

Shut up, Sadie.

Shit.

You know what, Sadie?

Got the flu, Bobby.

- It's true, man.
- She's burnin' up.

And I-I told her, you know,
she shouldn't mess around,

but, you know, she had
the gig and everything.

So I think it's okay
to deliver groceries.

You know. I've done
a lot of things.

I've done a lot worse.

But I have my whole
life ahead of me.

My love is cars. I
fix vintage cars.

I think there's
where my future is.

Very much so.

You'll take me seriously?

Yeah.

I do, Axel.

I'm young, but I
know what love is.

I miss love.

I miss it.

I had a really great lady.

She gave up everything for me.

She followed me to Chicago.

We lived there
together two years,

24 hours a day.

Then one day, she
said, "That's it.

We aren't anymore."

She went back to Minnesota. I
never heard from her again.

I'm sorry, Axel.

See, I know if it's
really love that...

...you try to work it out
if it's going wrong.

So maybe it wasn't love.

I had these goals about
getting to know myself better

so I'm not so dependent on love.

There's a lot of
unkindness in the world.

You know your...
Your life, your day?

They could be the
most important part.

One day could be the most
important thing in your life.

You'd never know it.

I think, you know,
you're good for me.

I walk into a club,

and there's this beautiful
girl smiling at me,

singing to me.

And these shining eyes at me.

She makes me real.

She gives me reality, so...

I'm in love.

♫ I'll tell the Arizona moon ♫

♫ I'll tell the Arizona ♫

♫ Moon ♫

Thank you very much.

Well, I'm glad you made it.

I had to see you.

This is Axel. Hey, Axel.

Hi. That was great.

Yeah, the band was hot tonight.

I want you to give
my best to Bobby.

You guys are working.

Doing good, yeah.

Hey, you know who came by
the backstage? Georgia.

Really?

When?

It was Wednesday. We were
working Wednesday and Thursday.

Yeah, it was Wednesday.

Did I just screw around
with a can of worms here?

No.

'Cause if it's open, you
know, I'll step in it.

You know, we opened for Georgia.

I heard.

Yeah.

In Austin, and Eugene,
and Winnipeg, and...

So she came by,

and they were just
coming off the ceiling.

You know, I don't think
she'd feel too good

stepping in your light.

Fuck you very much, Jo.

I'm sorry. I didn't
know you were in here.

No, come in, Mish.
It's all right.

I was just...

I don't know what I was just.

Everybody's looking for you.

Thank you for finding me.

You are so like your mother.

Two peas in a pod.

And your grandfather.

Three peas in a pod.

I'm like my dad, I think.

The table looks great, Mish.

You know what's so good
about us, Georgia?

We're so close.

Growing up,

I can't remember not doing
everything together.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What are you doing
with Axel, Sadie?

How do you and Dad find
so much to talk about?

We don't. We don't talk much.

I'm going to marry him.

His grandmother's ring.

And there's only one Jake.

How old is he, Sadie?

He loves me.

I'm gonna stay out of this.

So what is it that
happens between you

when you don't talk?

Leave Dad alone.

I do. I do. That's what I do.

Will you come to the wedding?

Sure. Okay.

I'm going to do it. Fine.

You know, I watch you,
and I listen to you.

This gift from God.

And I swell up with
admiration and pride

and love.

And I swear on Mish and Andrew

there is no envy.

You know, I can't.

And here I am, not three
feet away from you,

and I talk to you,

and I swear, Georgia, it
feels like no one's home.

You disappear on me.

You know what I truly
want for you, Sadie?

I want you to be happy.

You want to be
trouble-free, Georgia.

Okay. All right.

How you coming with
the table, Mish?

Finished.

Why don't you see if
anyone needs anything?

Things are going good for me.

I'm glad.

You know his last name?

Axel?

Yeah. Of course.

Yeah?

Yeah. What do you think?

You writing?

Every day.

Working on an album? Yes.

I should do some backup.
If you want.

Good idea.

You haven't come to hear me.
Why is that?

I will if you want.

It would be great if you did.

Well, I will then.

Okay, great.

I'm interesting, you know?

You were the one with
ambition, Sadie.

I never gave a damn.

You say.

You know it's the truth.

Funny how things work out.

Not what I meant.

You know, I let you
talk to me this way,

and I manage to make
myself think it's okay.

And I'm always glad
you've been here.

And I can't stand it
when you're hurting.

And I've made peace with...

That nothing's enough for you.

I don't want to
know what you do,

locked away in that
bathroom for half an hour.

I don't want my kids to know.

I wouldn't do that in
your house, Georgia.

Okay.

This is a wonderful home.

It's very warm.

You must be very happy here.

Sadie and Georgia grew
up in this house.

Georgia bought it when
it came on the market.

How you doing, Dad?

I'm doing all right.

It's good to see you.

You ought to get out more, Dad.

Well, I get out almost
more than I like anymore.

How you doing, Sadie?

I couldn't be better.

This is your young man?

Yes.

Good for you.

Axel delivers groceries.

I specialize in vintage cars.

So you've given
us to understand.

Is that your, uh,
vehicle out there?

That's my treasure.
Very much so.

Well, I wish you both
every happiness, Axel.

You're a peach, Dad.

I meant to do that.

It doesn't matter.

What do you say we
get married, Axel?

Yeah. See, I thought
that's what we were doing.

I've been with a
lot of men, Axel.

Is there anyone I'm
supposed to be approved by?

Heh. "Approved by"?

To meet. Family.

I don't think so.

I mean, it's not like you
have to meet 'em right away.

Axel Goldman, right?

Yeah.

See? I know it.

Hello.

My name is Sadie Flood.

That's all, my fan.

I got married today.

Thank you.

My husband, Axel.

Thank you, Axel.

So everybody buy another pitcher
of beer because we need the gig.

My sister's here
tonight, everybody.

And we're gonna do
one of her songs!

You want to come up and
do it with us, Georgia?

Georgia!

Georgia!

My sister!

The single person I'll miss
when I leave this earth.

♫ What am I ♫
♫ Supposed to do with ♫

♫ Happy times ♫
♫ I have in my hand ♫

♫ Send them off ♫
♫ To purgatory ♫

♫ Thoroughly confused ♫

Do the next.

♫ Maybe they could meet ♫

♫ Some old acquaintances ♫
♫ Of theirs ♫

♫ And we could have ♫
♫ A drink together ♫

♫ Reminiscing ♫
♫ Missing you ♫

♫ If I wanted ♫

♫ I could scrap you ♫

♫ If I wanted ♫
♫ To get back at you ♫

♫ To get back at you ♫

♫ I don't know ♫
♫ What makes me more mad ♫

♫ Than losin' you ♫

♫ If I wanted ♫

♫ I could feel good ♫

♫ If I wanted ♫

♫ Like I should ♫

♫ I don't know ♫
♫ What makes me more mad ♫

♫ Than losin' you ♫

♫ What am I ♫
♫ Supposed to feel when ♫

♫ Every time ♫
♫ I hear your name ♫

♫ I fall four steps behind ♫

♫ When I have ♫
♫ Only climbed up two ♫

♫ I don't wanna ♫
♫ Give away my fears ♫

♫ I don't want anyone ♫
♫ To taste my tears ♫

♫ I don't want help ♫

♫ From anyone but you ♫

♫ If I wanted ♫

♫ I could kill you ♫

♫ If I wanted ♫

♫ I would die too ♫

♫ I don't know ♫
♫ What makes me more mad ♫

♫ Than losin' you ♫

♫ If I wanted ♫
♫ I could never ♫

♫ Find another friend forever ♫

♫ I don't know ♫
♫ What makes me more mad ♫

♫ Than losin' you ♫

♫ If I wanted ♫

♫ If I wanted ♫

So do you write too, Sadie?

You do your own songs?

I don't write songs.

That whole concept's
foreign to me.

I make 'em up.

I put down the words sometimes
to remember 'em, but...

You know.

We're gonna have to go.
And don't get up.

- Congratulations.
- See you.

That was a nice thing you did.

Didn't know I had a choice.

I thought it was
pretty terrific.

And there's a reporter there.

I mean, what's that all about?

What's running through her head?

It was a good thing
you did, Georgia.

I feel bad for Axel.

"I don't write. I make them up."

She didn't even say it.
It's not even hers.

I mean, it belongs
to someone else.

What's the matter with you?

Nothing. I'm tired, that's all.

She swallows people up.

How do you not see it?

I think she's an original,

and brave, and without malice.

Fine.

She shouldn't sing.

What the hell's the
matter with you?

Yet another casualty.

Another casualty!

- Pays the rent.
- Pays the rent.

Pays the rent.

Are you fucked up?

Hell, no.

Hell, no.

- Hi.
- Hi. Hello.

You want to bring your
gear around back?

Someone will meet
you back there.

Hello. My name is Sadie.

Hi. Okay. Thanks.

Don't fuck around.

We gotta cut you loose.

Yeah, uh, that's what you said.

That's what you said.

You're fucked up all
the time, Herman.

I had Thursday down for the gig,

and I don't know how
I got Thursday...

It's not Thursday
anymore, Herman.

Thursday came and went.

This stuff is making you stupid.

Yeah. You think so?

So y-you all decided
this together?

Yeah.

Not me.

Leland, Paul, and Clay,

we're trying to be
in a business here.

We're not 23 anymore. We
at least got to show up.

I mean, our drummer's
got to show up, Herman.

I don't have a clue how
I missed it, Bobby.

It's not the first time, H.

And it's not the 10th time.

So...

Okay.

Yeah.

Don't be a stranger, okay?

I love you guys.

All right, see you around, then.

Take it easy, Herman.

Well, that sucked pretty good.

You guys would tell me

if you were looking for
a new backup singer.

Come on, Sadie.

You wouldn't. You fuckers.

You wouldn't, would you?

Come on, Sadie. Give it up.

What's your fucking problem?

Why do we have to turn
this into your loss, huh?

Goddamn it. Don't answer me.
Don't say anything.

I want to run through the set.

Nice.

Neat.

So you know, so what
Bobby had to do,

you know, I understand.

I'd have done the same thing.

The same thing, yeah.

This stuff'll kill you a
lot quicker than smack.

You can go a lot of years doing
smack, barring accident.

Chetty was... 58.

Art was 60, or something.

Lady Day made it into her 40s.

It's not gonna be
a lot of therapy.

I know it's a real hard kick.

Alcohol's bad shit, man.

It's a real bring-down.

Those guys did
everything though.

Did you ever try
morning glory seeds?

What are you gonna do, H?

Didn't you think Bobby was
gonna go the distance?

I thought he was gonna
go the whole nine yards.

Bobby's a poet.

He's an artist.

When you see desperation
in the eyes,

it's a bad sign.

It gets about paying the rent.

What are you gonna do, H?

I could always get a gig.

Don't you think so?

I've been looking to
get out of Seattle.

But I'm afraid to leave
my connection, man.

Every time I go out of
town, it's a disaster.

In Chicago, I went downtown
to see where to score,

and I see these three
big huge black guys

with guns in their pants.

And I knew that all
was gonna happen

was I was gonna get robbed.

Moved to New Orleans,
tried to do it there.

Got robbed.

I knew I was gonna get
robbed, and I got robbed.

And I...

You know...

I used the detox to
get off the street.

My sister's always
good for a few bucks.

She's not gonna put
me up forever.

I don't want to be
on the street, man.

It's not my bag.

I thought, you know,
I could teach.

Yeah?

So you and Axel doing okay?
You making out?

He has a car to work
on every so often.

He's in paradise.

And his mom sends him
a little something,

regular.

He's a neat guy, Axel.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Axel's a prince.

Axel's a saint.

♫ Lots of time ♫
♫ Just to dream there ♫

♫ Golden sun in the valley ♫

♫ Take me to Aruanda ♫

♫ Easy life ♫
♫ Waiting your welcome ♫

♫ Take me there ♫

♫ Leave my sadness behind me ♫

♫ Let sweet paradise find me ♫

♫ Heaven waits over yonder ♫

Everybody now.

Axel.

I told them to bring
you in the studio.

Yeah, I-I know. I don't
like to disturb.

It's not my nature.

How you doing, Jake? All right.

Hey, you.

Hello, Axel.

Hey, you, Axel!

What's up, Axel?
Everything's great.

Oh.

Georgia, you think I
could have a minute?

Could I have a few minutes
with Georgia, Jake?

No offense.

No offense, Axel.

I mean, if you're taking
a break, you know.

I know. You want to take a walk?

Sure.

So you think spring
will get here?

I think you can count on it.

I think it's been delayed.
Mechanical difficulties.

So, you guys don't call a lot.

You come into town.

You know, like, you
don't always call.

Well, there's not
always time, you know.

You're not always home, and
we have to get back, and...

Well, I understand.
Very much so.

She sort of knows
when you're in town,

that's all. It comes up.

She doesn't call
me, either, Axel.

And when's the last time
you came out to the house?

She's not with Bobby anymore.

It was like a
self-fulfilling prophecy.

You know, they had this
history and everything.

It kept getting in the way.

Sadie gets in the way, Axel.

So she's been sitting
in around town,

and she jams when she can.

You could help her.

Like how, Axel?

You could do something for her.

Like what, Axel?

Honestly.

It's just breaking my
heart, that's all.

She's full of hope.
She's full of hope.

You know what she's like.

Sometimes it gets too
harsh, you know?

You know, no offense.
You're her sister.

You know, when you
offer her money,

she takes the money,

and God knows we could use it,

but she takes it really
not to offend you.

I think you don't know that.

Maybe you do know that.

Maybe I don't know what
I'm talking about.

I hate this, don't you?
It's freezing.

Want to get some
coffee or something?

Steven Soles.

And Ken Stringfellow.

All right, Georgia!

Georgia!

You want to shoot some pool?

You got hours, whole hours.

I gotcha.

It's gonna be all right.

One, two, three.

♫ I got a field ♫

♫ Of unrighteousness ♫

♫ Sow a seed ♫

♫ Of scorn and bitterness ♫

Nice shot.

Your lady's got a touch, Axel.

Yeah.

Oh, my God!

We should start back.

It's gonna be great.

It's gonna be sensational.

Who did this? Did you do this?

Georgia did this.

Why don't you not have that?

This is to you.

For always being Jake.

The only thing I ever
envied my sister.

This is to you and tonight.

And tonight. Yeah.

Georgia's pregnant.

Oh?

God!

Well, that's so great!

It's pretty great.

It's a knockout.

It's a very special privilege

for me to bring Sadie
Flood out here tonight.

Seattle's home.

We're gonna kick the
shit out of this thing.

Put it to bed, baby.

It's incredible for
me to be here,

on this stage with my sister.

The single person I'll miss
when I leave this earth.

Yeah. How sweet this is.

The only thing that
has any meaning

is what's real, right?

What we get, what
we give each other.

And in the dark,
we're all scared.

We're all scared.

And there's more of us out
there all the time, man.

And the song is
from Van Morrison.

♫ I've been walkin' ♫
♫ By the river ♫

♫ I've been walkin' down ♫

♫ Oh, I ♫

♫ Well, there's too much ♫
♫ Sufferin' and confusion ♫

♫ And I'm walkin' down ♫
♫ By the river ♫

♫ Oh, let me understand ♫
♫ Religion ♫

♫ All the way back ♫

♫ Way back ♫

♫ When you walked ♫

♫ In a green field ♫
♫ In a green meadow ♫

♫ Down an avenue of trees ♫

♫ Oh, on a ♫

♫ On a golden summer ♫

♫ And the sky was blue ♫

♫ And you didn't have ♫
♫ No worries ♫

♫ You didn't have no care ♫

♫ You were walkin' ♫
♫ In a green field ♫

♫ In a meadow ♫
♫ Through the buttercups ♫

♫ In the summertime ♫

♫ And you looked ♫
♫ Way out over ♫

♫ Way out, way out over ♫
♫ The city and the water ♫

♫ And it felt so good ♫
♫ And it felt so good ♫

♫ And you keep on walkin' ♫

♫ And the music on the radio ♫
♫ And the music on the radio ♫

♫ Has so much soul ♫

♫ Has so much soul ♫

♫ And you listen ♫
♫ In the nighttime ♫

♫ While we're still and quiet ♫

♫ And you look out on the water ♫
♫ On the big ships ♫

♫ And the big boats ♫
♫ Came on sailin' by ♫

♫ Bye-bye, bye-bye ♫

♫ And you felt so good now ♫

♫ And I felt so good ♫

♫ I felt I wanna hear Clay ♫
♫ Blow his harmonica ♫

♫ Take me back there ♫
♫ Take me way back ♫

♫ Take me back, take me back ♫
♫ Take me back ♫

♫ Take me way, way, way ♫
♫ Back, back to when ♫

♫ To when I understood ♫

♫ When I understood the light ♫
♫ When I understood the light ♫

♫ In the golden afternoon ♫
♫ In the golden afternoon ♫

♫ In the golden afternoon ♫
♫ In the golden afternoon ♫

♫ In the golden afternoon ♫

♫ Well, we sat and listened ♫
♫ To sonny boy blow ♫

♫ In the golden afternoon ♫

♫ Well, we sat and let ♫
♫ Sonny boy blow ♫

♫ Blow his harp ♫

♫ Take me back, take me back ♫
♫ Take me back ♫

♫ Take me way, way, way ♫

♫ Way, way, way, way, way, ♫

♫ Yeah ♫

♫ Oh, ah, take me back to when ♫
♫ When, when, when, when ♫

♫ When, when, when, when ♫
♫ When, when, when I was walkin' ♫

♫ Walkin' down the streets ♫

♫ And it didn't matter ♫

♫ 'Cause everything felt ♫

♫ When you lived ♫

♫ In the grace ♫

♫ In the grace ♫

♫ In grace when you lived ♫

♫ In the light ♫

♫ And the grace ♫

♫ And the blessing ♫

Thank you! God bless.

You were real good.

Keep drinkin'. Round the edges.

I love you.

I love you, Georgia!

Want me to drive?

No, I don't want you to drive.

I take it that you're
angry with me.

You took her to a bar,

got her juiced up,
got you juiced up.

Why would that bother me?

She was wound up tight.

She was gonna come
boppin' off the walls.

Well, you fixed that.

Did you seriously think

that she had no other
access to a bottle

or whatever else she wanted
before she got there?

I don't need to be
right, Georgia.

I don't think I
could ever grasp...

I mean, not a clue.

...What it's like
to be your sister.

Ever so sorry about that.

Very much so.

Thank you, Jake.

I whipped your ass at pool.

Yup.

I whipped his ass.

Where are we going?

To the house.

Ah. Right.

Family weekend.

So was I great, or was I great?

I wish I'd been there. Heh-heh.

You were there.

Or was I just okay?

You could hear a pin drop.

You were great.

I thought that you
were something.

Ha!

What did sissy think?

Ooh. Stern silence.

Georgia was embarrassed of me.

For me.

Which?

Georgia needed to
help me out up there.

Didn't you, Georgia?

See, I thought I was doing fine,

but my sister

couldn't leave it alone.

For fear of what?

For fear of fucking
what, Georgia?

Did I need saving, Georgia?

How good did it feel to
be able to pull me out?

It felt like a thousand
pounds of dead weight, Sadie.

Is that what you want to hear?

I don't want this
anymore, Sadie.

I want you to let go of me.

Let go of me!

Please!

Please, Sadie!

Do whatever you have to do,

but I don't want to be
a part of it anymore.

I can't do it. I
don't want to do it.

Georgia.

Right.

Sadie! Sade.

Good, Sadie.

- You want to get out?
- Georgia.

Do you want to get out, Sadie?

Georgia!

What do you want to do?

This is entirely
up to you, Sadie.

This rig's not big enough
for the both of us.

You're welcome to spend
the night, you and Axel.

What do you want to do, Sadie?

We're in the middle of nowhere.

How long were you
prepared to sit here?

♫ But he sure ♫
♫ Found out the hard way ♫

♫ That dreams ♫
♫ Don't always come true ♫

♫ Oh, no, uh-uh ♫

♫ Oh, no ♫

♫ So he pawned all his hopes ♫

♫ Whoo-hoo, hoo-hoo ♫
♫ And even sold his old car ♫

♫ Whoo-hoo, hoo-hoo ♫

♫ Bought a one-way ticket back ♫

♫ To the life he once knew ♫

♫ Oh, yes, he did ♫
♫ He said he would ♫

♫ Oh, he's leavin' ♫

♫ Leavin' ♫

♫ On that midnight train ♫
♫ To Georgia ♫

♫ Leavin' on ♫
♫ The midnight train ♫

♫ I'd rather live in his world ♫

♫ Than be without him in mine ♫

♫ Come on ♫

♫ And I'm on ♫

♫ The midnight train ♫
♫ To ride ♫

Thanks, guys. Night.

Night, Sadie.

Night, Sadie. Good night.

Well.

Can I fix you something?

No, sweetie.

It's no trouble.

No, baby.

Are you scared of me, Axel?

No.

Gotta go home for a while.

Chicago?

Yeah. For a while.

I'll come with you.

Well, you know,

maybe you could come
later, you know?

You taking a hike, Axel?

No.

'Cause it's all right.

I don't think my mom's okay.

I'm sorry.

I'll be back.

Hard to know how long, right?

I can send for you.

This must have taken
you days, Axel.

I can. I can send for you.

I'm 23, Sadie. Try
cutting me some slack.

How about a blowjob instead?

Fuck you, Sadie.

Didn't mean it.

I swear.

I do everything I
know how for you.

I know, Axel.

You gonna be all right?

Yes.

I'm not leaving you.

No.

No such luck, all right?

Send for me, Axel.

I got back.

Did you meet Brian?

Yes.

Do you know Georgia
Flood, Brian?

This is her sister.

Oh. Uh, well, it's
good to meet you.

I'm a big fan.

- She sang with Trucker too.
- Didn't you?

How's the world
treating you, Sade?

Well, we're trying
to come to terms.

You and the world?
That would be a shame.

I'm a married woman.

What, you?

Yes, me. Yes, me.

Well, congratulations.

So how you doing?

The same.

Things are about to break.

I'm not a homosexual, Brian.

Did she tell you I
was a homosexual?

No.

Sadie's little joke.

- Did you get another cat?
- No.

Yeah. Well, I tried a dog.

You can rely on a dog, but
I couldn't train him.

Messed all over the apartment.

Shit and pissed. So
damn dependent, dogs.

I need a gig, place to stay.

Let me look into it, okay?

Yeah, well, a place to stay.

Yeah, I'll look into it.

What kind of answer is that?
You're my manager, right?

Whatever the hell that means.

Where were you for me to manage?

I don't remember
seeing 10 percent

for the months at a
time you were gone.

It's not the money, Sadie.

I always thought
you had the goods.

I appreciate talent. I
put myself on the line.

You want work and
time to pay off.

I'm not above getting hurt.

So if I'm not in total
rapture at seeing you,

you'll understand.

You are so full
of shit, Chasman.

The other day, man, I
couldn't find the door.

Shit.

I swear.

I couldn't find
the goddamn door.

No fucking shit.

You know where's the
door to this apartment,

like the back of my hand.

And I can't find the door.

Did you lose Brian?

Brian found the door.

Guess so.

Well, I'm game.

Fuck it.

We'll check ourselves in.

Detox.

We'll go to L.A.

You've got to make it in L.A.
to mean anything.

Yeah.

We'll clean up.

Yeah.

Don't touch my wake-up.

Want to find it right
there in the morning.

Do you have a prepaid ticket
here for Sadie Flood?

For Seattle. The 11:30?

I'm not showing anything.

Flight 484?

I don't know. I'm
in Medford, right?

The 11:30.

I'm not showing anything.

Yeah, well, maybe
you could call.

As soon as it was prepaid,

they'd have put it
in the computer.

It would show up
on the computer.

I'm sick, see?

There was supposed
to be a wheelchair.

So, uh, maybe you
could call someone.

Why don't you have a seat?
I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, well...

There's another flight at 2:35.

I'm not on this plane,
I'm out of here!

It's a medical emergency!

I'm sick, and...

How long ago was the
ticket purchased?

I don't know. Hour, half-hour.

Look, do you have a supervisor?

I got to be on the plane.

I'm sick, see?

What's your name?

Why don't you sit down and
let me see what I can do?

I really need to take care
of the rest of these people.

Okay... Helen.

Who do you have to fuck to
get some help around here?

Rollinger, Munson,
Okeson and Rice,

...to the boarding doorway
gate C-2 for departure.

You can't get on the plane
without shoes, miss.

Do you have shoes?

Are you kidding me?

It's an airline
regulation, miss.

It's a medical emergency. I
have to get to a hospital.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

You're not gonna let me board?

We can't let anybody board
without shoes, ma'am.

Shit! Fucking horseshit, man!

Anybody got a pair of shoes?

This is a medical emergency!

Anybody got a pair of shoes

so I can get on a goddamn plane?

Please?

Anybody want to give
me a pair of shoes

to get on this fucking
plane, please?!

Thank you.

The arrival of Flight 484 at
12:37 from Medford, Oregon.

All those arriving passengers
can be met momentarily

at gate marked E-4.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

Your flight was early.

Twenty minutes, yeah.

I thought Jake would come.

No. I wanted to come get you.

So how'd you find me in here?

I left my bag outside.

I'm really sick, Georgia.

Let's get your stuff.

Look at you.

You told 'em not to
let me die, right?

Yeah.

You know what I mean? Yes.

Thank you.

I didn't know who else to call.

I'm so sorry, Georgia.

They weren't gonna
let me on the plane.

This kid was great.

Well, I'm thin, huh?

You're not gonna be
able to find a vein.

Why don't you let me do that?

I think I've got
this under control.

She's gonna be okay.

We're gonna be giving her
high doses of Valium

so she doesn't seize.

And, uh, he'll give
her clonidine patches

for the heroin.

You go home and rest.

She'll pretty much sleep
the next couple of days.

This is probably
inappropriate, but...

I'm a really big fan.

What are you doing here, Dad?

I don't want you here, Dad.

Really not.

This is my party.

Where's my sweetheart?

Who?

This guy I was sleeping with.

He left me.

She awake?

She wants a cigarette.

I'm sorry about the robe.

I really love this robe.

I don't care about the robe.
It's yours.

Make sure she's sitting
up while she's smoking.

Don't nod out on us, Sadie.

We're very proud of this girl.
She's come a really long way.

She's the best
nurse on the ward.

You are, huh?

They hate me here.

They do.

So this must be a real
embarrassment to you.

No.

Why?

I cry all the time.

The patches make me a little...

You know.

Well, you see.

How's it going?

Lots of paperwork.
It's all paperwork.

And meetings.

Meetings.

I'm having some trouble with

the "God as I
understand him" part.

What was Dad doing here?

Dad?

Really.

I don't think so.

Right there in that chair.

I like my counselor.

David.

Donald.

Which?

David.

Donald.

David Donald.

I think that's his name.

Do you want me to call Axel?

Oh, God. Axel.

Sweet Axel.

Axel needs to get a life.

So when do you think you're
gonna have this baby?

I don't know.

Can I?

It's so amazing.

Did I tell you about Stewart?

The one who designed speakers.

For concerts.

Who's in love with you.

Yeah.

You mean Sam.

Sam?

Heh-heh. Yeah.

Did I tell you about Sam?

Ow.

You look good.

You too.

They had to see if
I was approved.

Yeah. I make a list.

Like I'm in control here.

So how is it?

It's great, yeah.

Real people.

So how you doing?

You know.

Survival.

And Bobby?

Seattle's own, huh?

Say hello.

Sure.

I did it myself.

It was driving me crazy.

They let you have scissors?

Yeah. Scissors.

So you think I look okay?

You look great.

I miss you guys.

Yeah, me too.

I miss Herman.

Yeah, me too. I
could've called that.

What?

Ah, shit.

I'm sorry.

A month, month and a half ago.

Fuckin' Herman.

♫ Lookin' for soul food ♫

♫ Went to the Apollo ♫

♫ Should have seen him ♫
♫ Go, go, go ♫

♫ They said ♫

♫ Hey, sugar ♫

♫ Take a walk on ♫
♫ The wild side ♫

♫ I said ♫

Good job, Druid.

♫ And I can't afford to go ♫
♫ To Mardi Gras this year ♫

♫ I don't even care ♫
♫ About payin' my phone bill ♫

♫ Know what I mean? ♫

♫ And private property ♫

♫ Is really an outmoded concept ♫

♫ Because ♫

My mind gets up five
minutes before I do.

And then it's
sitting on the bed.

Saying,"I've been
waiting for you.

"I have something to say to you.

I've been wanting
to talk to you."

♫ If I wanna sleep ♫
♫ On the floor ♫

♫ If I wanna sleep ♫
♫ In my breakfast ♫

Your mind says, "I've
been awake all night.

"I just want you to
know you have cancer.

"You're on the verge
of bankruptcy.

"Nobody likes you."

Overriding doom.
It's a mind-fuck.

Andrew.

He's all right.

You're going all
touchy-feely, Andrew.

I don't mind.

I'm sure not.

Ray Hammond Kiley.

That's a lot of weight.

My mother's father's name.

It'll keep him grounded.

One would hope.

You didn't come visit.

No, I didn't, but I
love you just the same.

I hold a very special
place for you, Sadie.

Do you, Jake?

Yeah.

A sacred place.

Well...

You've only ever been

the only man in the
world for me, Jake.

Yes.

Yes? You sure? Yes. Mm-hmm.

I don't want to take it unless

it was going to
Goodwill, anyway.

Ha-ha! You're in
my closet, Sadie.

You can have anything
you like, really.

Yours.

Don't do that.

Don't do what?

Take what you need.

What are you doing?

Nothing. My favorite thing.

Mish has got the ticket.

She can become weightless.

Thin air. It's something
I'm apt to encourage.

Are you gonna need money?

Not a lot.

It's not a bottomless
pit, Sadie.

Well, sis... I know that, sis.

I'm keeping accounts.
You didn't know that.

You're so funny, Sadie.

You haven't asked my plans.

No, I haven't.

Do you care?

I knew you'd tell me.

Uncertain.

I think L.A.

I think in stages.

Oh, good.

Good what?

I don't know, Sadie.

As long as you're okay.

I was just thinking, you know?

You never left home, Georgia.

I guess so.

I must scare the
shit out of you.

I must be your worst nightmare.

Sadie's out there,
gobbling it up.

Always. That's always
how I see you.

Gobbling it up again.

I hate the desperation.

Everything's so desperate.

Yeah.

Well, you don't do
anything desperate.

You don't feel
anything desperately.

It's not in your nature.

Feeling isn't your
strong suit, Georgia.

No, not like you.

Nothing consuming. No.

Not passion.

Passion?

Okay, passion.

Or pain.

No. Or suffering.

That's a gift you mistake
for voice, Sadie.

My God. It's how you
define yourself.

It's yours, I'll give you that.

And Sadie's pain has
to be fed, goddamn it.

Kept alive.

And we're all here,
ready to serve.

You don't sing, Sadie.

You can't sing.

You wish.

My name's Sadie Flood.

And we're gonna come to
terms, Portland, okay?

This is my harp player
and my guitar player,

Mark Olsen.

And my drummer... What?

Joey. Joey Venizzioni.

Joey.

What? Venizzioni.

Joey Venizzioni on the drums.

And Guy Davis on bass.

Thank you.

♫ It's a song and a sigh ♫
♫ Of the weary ♫

♫ Hard times, hard times ♫

♫ Come again no more ♫

♫ Many years have you lingered ♫

♫ Around our cabin door ♫

♫ Oh, hard times ♫
♫ Come again no more ♫

♫ No more hard times ♫

♫ No more hard times ♫

♫ No more hard times ♫

♫ No more hard times ♫

♫ No more hard times ♫

♫ No more hard times ♫

♫ No more hard times ♫

No one does that song
better than my sister.

Who?

Thank you, comrade.

♫ The piano has been drinking ♫

♫ My nectar is sweet ♫
