Hellcats (2010–2011): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Prisoner's Song - full transcript

Savannah talks the team into letting Dan direct their bid video against Alice's wishes, but when things don't go as planned, Savannah may have to forfeit her role as captain. Meanwhile, Marti decides to investigate further into Julian's case, and Red tells Derrick he plans to win Vanessa back, which prompts a fight between the two men.

Mom, what is this?

It says my scholarship
was canceled.

You're applying
for a scholarship?

I have one now,
for cheerleading.

Cheerleading?

Hello, marti.

Welcome to cheertown.

Yo, m. Meet new people.
Don't drift.

Never happen.

We submit
a bid video

Directly to the
national organization.



If we win a bid, the national
organization pays our full freight.

I am allowed
to be angry.

I was in line for captain before
perfect little savannah transferred in.

Now I'm hurt
and everyone is falling

All over themselves
helping marti take my place.

No, no, no, I don't
fall over myself for anybody.

You fell
for me once.

Vanessa, I'm sure you remember
the famous coach red raymond.

So we're clear,
I have a boyfriend.

10 years ago,
we had an affair.

Oh, god. The school
found out about it

And forced him
to resign.

Hey. Do you want
to go out with me?

Yeah!



Do you have a thing for dan?
What?

Because if you do,
I'll back off.

Dan and I are just
buds, that's it.

I really like you, dan.

I think you're really,
really funny.

I'm not even your type.
And I'm not yours.

But hey, we got
that in common.

Ohh!
Whoa!

Ohh!
Oww!

What the hell,
dan patch?!

And good morning
to you, as well.

What are you doing here?

Oh, hi, marti.

We were up late
watching old movies.

Ok. That's fine.

I didn't know we were at
the sleeping over stage.

A little warning
would have been nice.

Oh, come on, m.

You and I have been crashing
at each other's places

Since we were in diapers.

I still wear 'em occasionally.
It's liberating.

this guy.

Don't let him think
you think he's funny.

I'm gonna get some coffee.

The mugs are labeled.
Don't take anyone's

Except mine or savannah's.

And the lancer mugs
are only for alumni.

Except when
it rains on tuesdays.

I didn't laugh.

But I really
wanted to.

Look, we need
to set some ground rules.

I'm still adjusting to the whole
idea of you and my best friend

Throwing sleep over
pajama parties.

Look, if he's here
as your guest,

He's your
responsibility, ok?

Understood.

The last thing we want
is for you to feel weird.

Too late on that one.

Enjoying the show?

I don't like
what you're implying.

Human beings have
180 field of vision,

If you count peripheral,
which I do.

I happen to be facing
this direction.

My eyes have to rest
somewhere.

I invite you to do
the biological math.

Marti's law partner,
right?

Yes. Morgan pepper.

Do your career plans include
making jurors like you?

Not necessarily.

Lucky for you.

Ha ha. I'm so burned.

Cheer up, morgan.

I bet the prison inmates
will like you just fine.

Wait, you're visiting
a prison?

Yeah. It's for this law case
that professor has us working on.

This guy got 80 years for a
smash and grab at a pharmacy.

80?
It was his third strike.

We're trying to get
the law overturned.

We gotta get the client
to sign some papers.

It's not a big deal. Hey,
I'll see you at practice.

All right.
See you later.

Did you see how
territorial he was?

He's obviously not used to
other alpha males coming in here.

Right.

Hey.
Hi.

There you go.

Traditional
irish breakfast.

Ooh, it's swimming in grease.

Helps stick
to your ribs.

What's this,
another bid video?

Yeah. We're scheduled
to shoot this tomorrow

And I want to be up
on the competition.

Haven't you seen enough
of these by now?

I guess I'm just nervous.

We've been rehearsing
for weeks,

But I still feel like
we haven't gotten it yet.

Well, maybe
it's not the routine.

You ever thought about
spicing up the presentation?

How so? For one
thing, this is static.

Would it kill these
guys to move the camera?

Well, there's no rule
that says you can't.

But you want to make sure
it doesn't look fake.

If you use close-ups,
it could look like

You didn't do
your own stunts.

No, I'm talking about
adding a little motion

To enhance the drama.

You know, pump some
atmospherics into the room,

Maybe blast some light.

You know,
make the bodies glow.

And the gym setting.

There's no romance
to it, it's bland.

It's not bland. Exactly.

Ok, yeah,
it's a little bland.

Do you want to go into
practice with me?

Why?

Just to be a fly
on the wall.

Vanessa's always telling us
to change things up.

That's why we brought
marti on board.

Maybe we need to rethink.

Do you mind?
Sure. Why not.

I'm not going
to talk, though.

You don't have to.
I just want fresh eyes.

Then you shall
have them.

Mmm. Thanks!

Ok, so listen, if we
raft the upper pigeon

Right here, we are going to
hit some serious class 4 rapids.

I mean, you know,
it's going to be

A little more
challenging, but--

Red raymond's here again.

Oh.

Just ignore him,
vanessa.

There are 3 pubs and a
coffee house on this campus.

Why does this
have to be his hangout?

We should find
another breakfast place.

This is ridiculous.

Wait, what are you doing?

Inviting him
to come join us.

what?! No.

We're on campus
together, vanessa.

We all work in the
athletic department.

So we just need
to, you know,

Normalize our
interactions.

Oh, normal--
we're not normalizing anything.

This will be healthy.
Trust me.

I'm a doctor.

Hey, doc.
Hey, coach.

Vanessa and I saw you
sitting over here alone,

And we thought we'd
invite you to come join us.

Well, that's very kind of you.

Yeah, I have
to be honest--

She's been feeling a little
weird with you back on campus.

I mean, given
your past and all.

She finally told you
about that.

It was hard for her.

But I'm sure it must
be hard for you, too.

Coming back,
given the history.

I mean, having
a marriage break up.

I sympathize.

You're a good guy, doc,
and I respect you.

That's why I'm not comfortable
accepting your invitation;

Not without full disclosure.

Disclosure?

I came back to lancer
with designs on vanessa.

What?

I'm planning on
winning her back.

You didn't have
to hit him.

He disrespected you,
vanessa.

He said he was going
to win you back.

He did?
Yeah.

Like you were some kind
of football trophy.

He was just messing
with your head.

Yeah, and why
would he do that?

Oh, I don't know, to
get a rise out of you,

Goad you into doing
something stupid.

Oh, great,
so now I'm stupid?

You are affiliated with
the athletic department,

And the university
hospital.

Red is a multimillion
dollar hire.

He's got clout
with the trustees,

And you just gave him
justification to have you fired!

So, yes, my love,

You were stupid
just now.

You have to go back
and apologize.

Not gonna happen.

Ok, I don't think
you're hearing me.

What is wrong with you?

I don't like
prisons.

Have you ever been
in one before?

No.

Up until today it was
an irrational phobia.

Mr. Guthrie,
my name is marti perkins.

This is morgan pepper.

We were sent here
on behalf--

I don't care
who you are.

And you don't care who I am.

We have releases
for you to sign

To give us access
to your psych evaluation

And therapist
records.

And we do care about you.

I don't need no more
of julian's little doggies

Coming around
wagging their tails

And acting like they're going to
do something to change my life.

Just give me the pen.

Here you go.

So initial here,

And then there's
a signature here...

And there.

Do you have any questions
about what you're signing?

Not really.
Jeez, marti.

Just let him sign. I'm
sure he has things to do.

So I've--
I've studied your case.

I know you're
a street musician.

That's not right.

I used to be a musician.

And then one day I was sitting
outside of williamson park

And a cop come up
and grabbed me,

Telling me that I look like some
guy that they liked for a robbery

And they needed me
for a line-up.

Didn't take it too seriously

Till he put his foot
right through my guitar.

Not an alex chilton fan,
apparently.

Who?

Who's alex chilton?

Hmm?

get this kid away from me.

Well, chilton was the lead
singer of the box tops,

Founder of big star.

I don't listen
to pop music.

He went to school like 7
blocks from here on poplar.

not bad.

The replacements
wrote a song about him.

Well, now you're just
showing off.

You play?

A little.

Well, quit that,
learn a trade.

You don't want to be
where I am, not ever.

I know how frustrated
you feel.

But julian is smart and
he's going to help you.

We're hoping to get
your sentence reduced.

Oh, well, lucky me.

I shouldn't have been
convicted in the first place.

I got screwed
by the system.

Public defender
didn't care.

Julian doesn't care.

Nobody does, really.

And that's what I call
frustrating.

And you, blondie,
have no idea what I feel.

I'm sorry.

And I'm innocent.

Neither thing makes
a difference in my life.

We're done.

L.U.!

We can tell you!

Way to keep above it!

Keep your hands up!

Let's get it started!
L.U., just stand up!

Show 'em where
your heart is!

we are young...
l.U.!

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Why are you moving
the camera?

If we mix it up a little,
our video might stand out more.

Or it might suck.

It's just a little swish pan.

It'll make it interesting.

Right?

Don't speak.
Don't speak.

That's the theory.
Yeah.

uh, we're taking
marching orders from your boyfriend?

He's a filmmaker.

Ohh.

How many bid videos
have you made?

Not a one.
I've made four.

So I think I know a little
bit more about them than you.

But thanks
for stopping by.

Door's that way.

that's pretty myopic.

myopic?

Who talks like that?

Look, from what I hear, you
guys are being forced to compete

Against the best teams
across the nation.

Alice can't fly and marti's
still a little green.

The hellcats
aren't showing

At their full potential.

On an even
playing field,

You lose.

Ok, all savannah's
suggesting

Is to change up
the paradigm

In order to give y'all
a better shot at winning.

The deadline
is 48 hours away.

This is no time to be
reinventing the wheel.

He's only talking about
changing up the presentation.

You guys ever think
about filming outside?

Be more visually dramatic.

Why is he talking about
anything, savannah?

Where'd you find
this loser?

Oh, right. He's
marti's hand-me-down.

Hey!

You mean like lewis
handed you down to jake?

what do you know?

We're all following some
confused virgin getting high

Just 'cause some guy
actually looked at her.

Well, I may not be
easy like you, but--

Do we really need
to be getting personal here?

This is personal.

There's a lot riding
on this bid video.

Scholarships are on the
line-- yours included!

Is that a joke?

Since when did you ever care
about anybody's scholarship?

I care about
the team, lewis.

And that
includes you.

And that's why I think this
should be a group decision.

All those in favor
of playing it safe

And doing the video the
way it has always been done,

Raise your hands.

I'm the captain,
I like dan's ideas.

We're doing them.

I'm not going
to let you bulldoze us.

Where are you going?
Over your head--to vanessa.

Alice, don't do this.

Alice!

Take five, everyone!

Oh, make it ten!

You could you vote
against savannah?

I was kinda voting
against you.

Why?

Look, I don't know what makes a
cheerleading video good or bad.

Move the camera,
shoot it on the moon,

Whatever. But I do know
that if your plan backfires,

The bobbleheads will blame
savannah, they will blame you,

And they will blame me.

That's a pretty
gigantic assumption.

Yeah, well, I brought
you to cheertown,

So you're my responsibility.

I'm trying to help.

Savannah asked for my
advice, so I gave it.

Do you really think
she'd ask for your advice

If you weren't her boyfriend?

Does it matter?

See, the hellcats
are the beatles.

Savannah is john lennon.
Alice is co-captain,

So she's paul mccartney.

They've got this rivalry going
that has to be kept in check,

Or could break up the band.

But you, you're not
really in the band.

John listens to your ideas,

Not because they're
right or wrong,

but more because
you're showering together.

I don't think I care for
this particular metaphor.

Sorry, dude.
You're yoko.

I'm not going to help you break up the
world's greatest rock and roll band.

See you at practice.

Hmm. I had a feeling

You'd come looking
for me.

How's your chin?
It hurts.

Good.

I'd heard derrick
was mature

And level-headed, so you
can imagine my surprise

When he flew off
the handle like that.

You've never been
surprised by anything.

In your life.

Oh, are you trying to
say I did this on purpose?

It occurred to me.

Well, if so, that makes
derrick the sucker.

If not, he's a violent guy who
flies off the handle when challenged.

Begs the question--

The kind of fellow
you want to be with?

Derrick's a good man. He's
a dedicated, talented doctor.

He works hard.

And I don't want you doing
anything to hurt his career.

Promise me.

I promise I won't
do anything

To hurt his career.

You have my word.
Thank you.

You look really good,
by the way.

Vanessa, we have a
problem. Yeah, you.

She is
out of control.

Looks like you have
bigger fish to fry.

Top of the day,
coach.

Ladies.

Ok, my office, now!

She shouldn't even
be the captain.

I was elected
fair and square!

Only because vanessa strong-armed
everyone into voting for you!

Well, I did not
strong-arm anyone.

You're delusional!
People didn't vote for you

Because they don't
like you, alice!

They never have!
Ok!

That's enough.

This video has to be in the
judge's hands in 48 hours.

We don't have time
to be at each other's throats.

We need to work together
as a team.

Well,
tell that to her.

She's the one screwing
up the bid video!

That's a matter
of opinion!

Either approach is valid.
I've seen both of them work.

So you have a choice to make.

Which is why we elected
a captain; to unite and lead.

Exactly.

So you're
taking her side.

Ut you do have
to follow the captain's lead.

Put a big smile on your face.

Got it?

Got it.

Go spread that gospel.

Hold on, savannah.

How close was the vote?

about half and half.

You're losing them.

Well, it's their
responsibility to keep up!

And it's your responsibility
to lead.

Cheerleading
is about teamwork.

When you throw a flier
25 feet in the air,

What keeps her smiling?

Trust.

She knows her teammates
will catch her.

That's right.

So if the team
doesn't you,

The whole squad
falls apart.

I'd work on that.

Hey, bill.

You punched my coach?!

Mr. Marshall,
I can explain--

What the hell
is wrong with you?

I want your tail
in my office now.

Well, I'm meeting
with vanessa, so-- now!

Oh, hell.

Lancer has a code of conduct.

Faculty brawling
is not the image

We wish to convey
to the boosters.

You have dealt this school
and the university hospital

A black eye.

Effective immediately,

You are persona non grata
at lancer.

You are dead to us,
dr. Altman.

Dead as disco.

Bill--
hush, red.

What do you have to say
for yourself?

I shouldn't have
lost my temper, bill.

Damn right.

It was extremely
immature,

And for that,
I do apologize.

I understand your position,
and, uh, I'll go quietly.

If you don't tell him, I will.
You'll do no such thing.

Screw you, bill.
What's going on?

Derrick,
you're getting promoted.

I'm--what?

Thanks a lot, red.

Trying to have
a little fun,

A little horse play with
my new doctor of athletics,

And you have to go
and wreck it.

Wait a second--

You're promoting me?

Yes. You are staff. Full
time, covering all sports teams

Including the hellcats.

I wouldn't want to tear you
away from your little lady.

I don't know what to say, bill.

Well, you can thank
the coach here

For turning
the other cheek

And lobbying
on your behalf.

But when you came in,
just now, your face?

Hilarious. I had you.

Who wants a drink?

Why would you
help me out like this?

I kinda figure
I owed you one.

He "owed you one"?

It's a good offer,
vanessa. Big raise.

This is everything that I
have ever worked towards.

But you're thinking
of accepting?

Could you do that,
work for red?

I'd be working alongside
red, but not for him, ok?

Besides, keep your
enemies close, right?

Yeah, he's probably thinking
the same exact thing.

Well, let him. I could
sure handle that guy.

Hmm.

What's that?

What? Hmm,
it's a noise.

You don't think
I can handle

Red raymond?
I didn't say that.

No, really,
I want to hear this.

He's a coach. He
strategizes for a living.

Well, good for him,
vanessa.

I ranked nationally on
my college chess team.

Red used to fleece the speed chess
hustlers that hung out in bartlett park.

Ok, you don't want to give him
a chance to get in your head.

Drive a wedge.

Between us?

You really think
that little of me?

I just think that we should
talk about it.

Just look at all the angles.

Well, fine, we can talk about
it as much as you want to,

But right now I'm a
little bit more interested

In this, oh, I don't
know lack of respect

That I'm feeling
from you.

Are you feeling it?

I have enormous respect
for you! I love you.

It's just--see this?

He's already got us fighting.

Oh, I believe you've
got us fighting.

Here are the forms
travis signed.

Thank you.

Was there
something else?

Yeah.

He says he's innocent.

Well, they all do.

But he has been
tried and convicted.

That part
of the case is over.

Yeah, but if he's telling the
truth, we need to do something.

Overturning a conviction
is incredibly difficult,

And it's off-topic.

off-topic?

Yeah, we're interested in
the punishment, not the crime.

Travis was given a cruel
and unusual prison sentence

For a minor offense.

Yeah, a minor offense
he may not be guilty of.

Look, he's lost his
whole life; his identity.

Trust me, the man is broken.

If there's even the slightest
chance that he's innocent--

Doing what you're suggesting
requires resources I don't have.

And travis is in no position
to pay his own legal bills.

Are you...
Volunteering to pay?

No.

Hmm.

I took this case
to get a law overturned.

An unjust law that
victimizes many, many people.

Every year.

What we're doing here
is bigger than travis.

Well, I thought
you cared about him.

Don't you want
to get him out of prison?

Reducing his sentence
gets him out

While he's still
young enough

To enjoy what's left
of his life.

Right. Now, if
travis doesn't like

My game plan, he's more
than welcome to fire me

And find another
lawyer.

If you pass
the bar one day,

You can take up his cause.

Why wait till then?

I can't believe you offered
my boyfriend a job!

you said he was talented.

You promised
to leave him alone!

I promised not
to hurt his career.

And I think
helping a guy

Get a lucrative
promotion

Fits firmly within
both the letter

And spirit
of that promise.

Ok, I'm sick of the games.

Me, too.

But you play the hand
that you're dealt.

I'm with derrick.
I'm not interested.

Why can't you get that
through your head?

And you're walking away.
Why are you walking away?

Because you ask
a fair question.

Sit down.

Sit down.

10 years ago,
you and I behaved

Badly.

People got hurt.

Eventually I came
to terms with it.

And when I got run
out of town on a rail,

I realized, it was probably
a blessing in disguise.

Best thing for me to do,
put it all behind me.

Lancer and this marriage
I screwed up,

And especially you.

Moving on.
That's healthy.

See, the thing is,
that didn't happen.

I've been in many
relationships since,

And not one of those
women had what you have.

Your kindness.

Your strength.

Your immensity
of spirit.

Oh, please.

I'm serious.

I don't think that you
realize how unique you are.

But your
cheerleaders do.

Red...

Look, derrick's got the
job that he's always wanted.

Success allows people to
become who they truly are.

And if you're with the
right guy and it's derrick,

You're going to know
soon enough.

But if he's not...

Well, I'll be
in the vicinity

When you
figure that out.

You were right. This
is visually dramatic.

I know, I mean look at
these geometric shapes.

It's going to look perfect
up against your pyramids.

You know, cheerleading
is all about spirit,

So it's like
an urban cathedral.

You know, and the way
the overpass softens the light,

You guys are going
to look fantastic.

You really love
this, don't you?

Yeah, I do.

Look, just one thing, though.

Are you sure everyone's ok
with me doing this?

They'll come around when
they see the finished product.

I believe in you.

Ok, then.

Let's do this.

Ok, everybody.

Here we go!

I'm rollin'.

On your cue, yeah?

Savannah, you're the one

Come on.

All right, enough. Enough. Guess
what? We're done for today. Ok?

And you, I want you
off that ankle. Go ice it.

But I don't think
we have everything.

Well, darwin's injured.
There's no routine without him.

So, we're gonna have to
make do with what we have.

Great.

That's good.

Oh, yoko.

You're awfully quiet.

I'm freaking out
about this bid video.

Not going well?

Let's just say
I'm worried.

Savannah and dan
are assembling the footage now.

I just wish we weren't
cutting it so close.

We have to get this out
before the last fedex pickup.

You're gonna
make it work.

Well, I better get to
the hospital for rounds.

Hold on.

I've been going back and forth
about this job thing.

The job thing, yes.
I know how important it is.

It is a big opportunity--

I already accepted
the job, vanessa,

This afternoon.

What?

I thought we agreed
to talk about it some more.

It's my career,
my decision.

Listen, I weighed it out
very carefully. I did.

And I just decided there
wasn't much to talk about.

I'll see you at home?

Look, I know
it's a little cutty.

It's a disaster.

Why all the edits?
The stunts look fake.

You guys never got
the stunts perfect.

I had to cut between
performances to make it work

And to remove the cursing.
Everybody looks so angry.

man.

I've been texting
you for an hour.

We've been dealing with
the bid video. What's wrong?

I mean, what else is wrong?

Look, you need
a heads-up.

There's a squad meeting
happening over at carter hall.

Alice, she's staging a coup.
She's calling a no-confidence vote.

"no confidence" in what?

In me.

Come on, man,
find marti.

Savannah's gonna need
her vote.

We all know
the bid video crapped out.

She'll put a spin on it,
but come on.

We need new blood.

Did I miss a memo?

The squad isn't happy.

Article 3 of the ccaa
cheer constitution

Says that we can call
a no-confidence vote.

A 2/3 majority puts you out.

And you in.
I'm the second.

You all know
I've got seniority.

I realize I may not be the
most popular person around here,

But this is not
a popularity contest.

This is about doing
what is best for the team.

And what's best
is a change--

Right here, right now.

Like me or not, I will put
this team back on track.

I promise you that.
But shouldn't we actually

See the bid video before
making up our minds?

Yeah.

Fair enough.

Savannah, how is
the bid video?

Do you have any footage
to show us?

Alice is right.

It's terrible.

She's also right about
me being a bad leader.

I felt like people were attacking
dan, and I got emotional,

And I steamrolled
you all.

I thought dan's ideas
were good.

I still do.

But I failed
to inspire you.

I let the team fracture.
So, for that, yeah.

I deserve to be replaced.

I make a motion to call a
no-confidence vote in our captain.

Do I have a second?
Second.

Is the video
really that bad?

The moves weren't there.

But the worst part was is
that it wasn't fun to watch.

There was no heart,
no joy.

Can't we redo it?

We can't make
the deadline to fedex it.

Pickup is
in 10 minutes from now.

Plane.

What?

We buy a plane ticket.

One of us flies with
the submission packet,

And we carry it into the national
office in aspen when it opens tomorrow.

That's...Genius.

Ok, we need to find out when the
last flight takes off. Frankie?

On it.
Ok.

Wait. You're going
with my idea?

It's a good idea. Yes.

Frankie: Ok. So,
the last flight to aspen

Takes off at 7:40.

It's 5:50 now.

Which means no time
to edit or add music.

We do it old school--

Stationary camera
on a tripod.

Plug directly into the camera
and lay the music track live.

Dan has the graphics built.
Darwin, how's your sprain?

I've been icing it.

I can probably
make it through once.

Perfect. We don't have time
for more than once.

Look who I found
at the bus stop.

I had a thing to do
for law class.

It can wait.
Did I miss the vote?

No, no vote.
Not yet.

We can do this, guys, but
only if we're in it together.

Agreed. And afterwards?

We vote. Punch it?

Punch it.

All: Hellcats!

All right, suit up!

Every second counts!
Chop-chop!

Dan, please tell me
you have your camera.

Yeah. It's in my truck.
Get it. You have 4 minutes.

Look, alice, about
what I said before,

About no one liking you--
save it.

We're still taking
a no-confidence vote.

Well, for what
it's worth, I'm sorry.

And it's not true.

I don't care
what people think of me.

I get things done.

Ok, then. Let's go.

♪ we are young ♪

She made the flight
with 10 minutes to spare!

Hell, we had time
to film a sequel.

Are we good?

Yeah. Yeah, we're good.

Good.

I mean, uh, look.

I'm glad
you're with savannah.

I hope you make
each other happy.

But?

Just be careful.

If things go south with savannah,
it's gonna blow back on me.

I mean, are you guys
gonna get serious?

I don't know.

But I promise you
I'll be careful.

Do that.

I'd hate to see us lynched
by an angry mob of cheerleaders.

Ooh. Pitchforks and pompoms?

Well, they'd soak them
in kerosene, obviously.

Obviously.
Yeah.

you off?

Yeah. I still
gotta run my errand.

Is this errand
musical in nature?

Sort of.

I've missed
having you to myself.

Call that a guitar?

Hey, I'm not wealthy.

They said you could
play it here,

But you can't
take it back with you.

'cause I'd hang myself
with the strings.

Where's your sidekick?

I left him
with a baby-sitter.

Hey, I want you to tell me
everything that happened that night--

Everything you remember,
no matter how small,

Anything you didn't
tell the police.

Why?

I looked into your case,
and you were right.

The public defender was
inexperienced and overloaded,

And I'm not convinced
you got a fair shake.

So, you think I'm innocent?

I don't know.

But everybody deserves
to be heard.

Does julian know about this?

No. And I'd like
to keep it that way.

Hmm.

Well, you're not
gonna accomplish anything.

Probably not, but I'll keep
bringing the guitar.

Well, that's a good deal.

Hell, I could use
the company.
