Mozart in the Jungle (2014–2018): Season 3, Episode 3 - My Heart Opens to Your Voice - full transcript

- I love this idea.
- It makes me cry.
You know who doesn't
love this idea?
The mayor,
the city council,
the-the head of
the Vaporetto
drivers union,
the Gondolieri.
Convince them.
Convince them.
You can convince them.
You make my life
very difficult.
But I convince them.
Grazie, Beppi.
- Buttafuco.
- "Budda."
- So T is like D?
- "Buddafuco."
Yeah, yeah.
Five more seconds and
she'll be walking on stage.
You have to hurry.
Okay. Sorry, guys.
Ey?
Too what?
Too big, too small?
No.
Okay, okay.
It's very nice,
it's very nice,
but, uh, I think we can
carry that through.
You know, the montait,
montait-- In one go.
I'm not a violin.
You have to follow me.
I'm sure you have
the control.
Show me.
Sing it for me.
Okay. Okay,
I'll show you.
What do you mean,
I'm being tentative?
Like, uh--
you're being like
a little puppy dog,
instead of being
a pantera.
Oh. Maybe because your tempo
is a little bit disco.
D-- Did you say disco?
Disco?
Vlad, is it disco?
No, it's not disco,
Maestro.
- Vlad!
- No, no, it's not disco.
Hailey?
It's a little disco.
This boat--
This is not even
a barge, it's a raft.
It's a raft?
Ai, I always meant raft.
I didn't know.
I meant a raft,
not a boat.
Ecco, eh?
Okay, like a--
like a shattering glass, okay?
Degue chanson.
Chanson?
La chanson.
La chanson.
Don't speak to me like that
in front of them.
Next time I'm gonna
kill you.
Now laugh.
El Guapo.
El Guapo.
Why? You don't think
you are handsome?
Dee Dee, you are gonna
take that diaper off
before we go in,
I hope.
It's called
Fundoshi.
I wear it when I teach
my Taiko lessons.
- All right, huh?
- Hey, guys.
Sorry I'm late.
Just dropped off
another happy customer.
Can't believe
you're driver for Uber.
Yeah, actually,
you know,
you meet some really
interesting people.
- Where's Betty?
- Uh, she can't make it.
- Didn't she tell you?
- Tell me what?
She's subbing with
the Honolulu Symphony.
Oh, Jesus, guys,
we gotta stop the bleeding
before they take
all of our people.
What are we gonna do?
Maybe we should look at
their offer again.
No. We looked at the offer,
it's not good enough.
- Yeah.
- I tell you what
we're gonna do.
We're gonna stay strong
and dignified,
and Dee Dee,
your left testicle
is falling out.
- Aw, man.
- Look, I'll figure out
what we're gonna do.
Okay?
I just need to think.
Come on, we're late.
Hai!
Before you leave, remember,
you're all invited to our show,
"The Dirty Filthy Stains."
- Good work.
- Hey, thanks.
- Okay.
- Come, yeah.
Thanks for
having us, Lars.
The kids are great.
Yeah.
It'd be a lot cooler
if we had real
instruments to work with,
but, uh, yeah,
they're trying.
Yeah, well,
it felt really good
to be playing something.
We needed this.
Well, hey, you know,
if you need an escape,
we're playing
a few gigs on the road
after the New York show.
- You should come.
It'll be fun.
- Yeah?
I mean, Lindsay
and the kids are comin'.
It's gonna be great.
God.
You have kids already.
That's what
they call life, Cyn.
It take it
there's still no
Mr. or Ms. Taylor.
Nope.
My last relationship sort of
fucked everything up, so...
I'm, uh, giving it a break
for a while.
Hey. At least come to
this gig.
Come on.
Where the fuck are you?
Oh, you know,
in Venice.
Walsh fired me.
He fired you?
That prick.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
Don't you know anyone who needs,
like, an oboing nanny, or--
It'll be fine.
Welcome to the life of
a working musician.
Oh, shit,
I have to go.
- Gotta go rehearse.
- Yeah, I'm coming.
Is Rodrigo there?
- Uh, yeah.
- I need to speak with him.
- It's really important.
- Cynthia.
- No.
- Cynthia?
- Maestro, I can hear you.
- She needs you,
it's really important.
You can't ignore me
forever.
- Hello.
- Rodrigo, I've been trying to
get hold of you for weeks.
Hey! Cynthia.
I thought you were dead.
The mayor has called us
to a meeting.
The mayor? I don't know
nothing about the mayor.
Everybody's talking about
the mayor, but I don't know
what you're talking about.
- Yeah, we need you here.
- What? What-- What are
you talking--
Because he's trying to
resolve the lock out.
You know, I just heard
the word lock out,
and that's it. Okay?
I'm not-- I'm not interested.
No, this affects all of us.
I can't talk
about the lock out.
Okay, ciao. Ciao.
- Rodrigo. Rodrigo.
- Scuze. Attensione.
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no, No! No!
- What?
- Stop it.
- My fucking cell phone.
- But it's to liberate you.
This is my cell phone.
You can't just take
people's things.
- Guys. Guys.
- Cynthia, I'm really
sorry about that.
He was gonna throw you
into the canal.
Come on, let's--
let's go rehearse.
No, I'm having
a really good time.
Ahh.
They found me.
Maestro, it's an honor
and a privilege.
Antonio Parlotti,
a friend of La Fiamma.
- Oh, ah.
- A viper.
- Ah.
- Oh, oh, no.
No, she means it
in a nice way.
What about this tour?
We've heard rumors often.
- Will you be joining her?
- I don't know what you're
talking about.
Perhaps you know she'll never
make it that far. Huh?
And what's her current
tranquilizer dose?
- Tranquilizer dose?
- Yeah.
Tranquilizer?
You want a tranquilizer?
Hey.
Alessandra.
Hey. Don't pay attention
to that idiot. Okay?
He only invents lies.
That's it.
He's an idiot,
but he told the truth.
Maestro, amazing!
That picture will run
in every paper in Europe.
I could kiss you,
but I don't.
Where's the Maestro?
I specifically asked
that he be here.
- He's in Italy.
- Hmm.
He left when Gloria's
Bubbles moved in.
We'll have him back
as soon as--
I don't care about
your Bubbles,
or your excuses.
What I do care about
is Tuesday night.
Jeanine and I have been
long time subscribers.
So, we're solving
this thing today.
Okay.
Let's go.
- Go where?
- Now! Right now!
We're going.
"To plant a garden
is to believe in tomorrow."
Do you know who said that?
Audrey Hepburn.
- Oh.
- So there's your seeds,
your fertilizer,
and some tasteful
German shrubs to
frame the blooms,
and no talking about
the lock out.
Dig your hands in,
and make something
that grows together.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait.
Wait, wait. Don't just
drop them in there.
- Oh. No?
- Pour them in your hand.
Go ahead.
Yeah. Now...
feel their energy?
Yeah.
Feel the seeds.
I've stopped a lot of
fighting in this garden.
That bush,
the teacher's strike.
The cedar,
the firemen.
Those daisies--
The garbage men.
I think we should start
in the middle right here.
We need to dig these holes
further apart, so--
make sure the flowers
have room to grow.
Here we go.
Oh. Oh.
I hope I didn't get mud
on your Pradas.
Uh, these are
the diffusion line.
I got them on sale,
and aren't those
Stella McCartneys?
Fair point.
You know, this has been
hard for everyone,
and I'm really sorry.
You know,
Warren over there
has had to sell
his Bergonzi.
Bob's driving for Uber,
Tanya's moved in
with her mother.
Betty's in Honolulu,
which, you know,
now I say it out loud
it doesn't sound so bad,
but you get my point.
I'm worried when
we do resolve this
that we won't have
a symphony to come back to.
Do you know how many
donors we're losing?
Yeah,
that's how this works.
A mutually assured
destruction.
It's the only way
we seem to get you
back to the table.
But every day we lose money,
we have less to give you.
Cynthia, please.
- As a friend.
- No, not the "F" word.
Not after you
locked us out.
But if you hadn't let
that lawyer of yours--
You know what?
There was a deal
right in front of your face
on the table,
and you were
too proud to take it.
Oh, please, you don't know
what I was doing.
You think I don't know
what's going on here?
Huh? You keep us waiting,
losing our minds,
and then suddenly he called
and you want to talk?
You know what we want,
Gloria,
so why don't you call me
when you're ready to
give it to us.
I'm gonna-
I'm gonna take
a 10 minute break
if that's okay
with you.
You better figure
this shit out, Gloria.
We got a budget meeting
in a week and a half,
and this city's not gonna
keep pouring money into
an orchestra
that doesn't play!
And before that, apologize
to these damn plants.
I'm very sorry.
Every single one of them!
I'm sorry.
Look out there at my city.
You can hear them laughing.
Strange,
I can only hear
the seagulls.
Because the people...
they won't be
laughing at you.
Your plane will take off
even if I-- I'm in ashes.
Everybody knows that you
walked off stage once.
Nobody knows why.
Do you know?
I started to lose
my high notes.
I heard it in my head
again and again.
Whenever anyone
talked to me,
I couldn't hear
anything else.
Just my voice becoming...
old.
I understand,
Alessandra.
They want me to fail,
and when they're eyes
are on me, I--
I also want to fail.
Then sing to me, then.
I'm your audience.
You're my audience.
Yes, I am.
Then I hate you.
Maestro,
can I speak to you
in here for a moment?
It's about some
programming.
Oh, very-- Well, yes, uh,
absolutely delighted.
Oh, come on. Oh, wow!
We are frisky.
- Oh, my morning.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, it must have been
a heck of a good meeting.
Oh! It was a disaster.
I just need--
I need to think about
something else.
Oh!
I am coming to Venice
with you.
- You are?
That's great news.
- You were right.
I know a little place,
it's so romantic.
- Okay, good.
- Listen--
So, I guess you heard about
the tour, right?
What tour?
Oh. Oh, God.
Um, well, here.
This is gonna put a damper
on your mood.
He's not coming back.
I didn't know that you were
such a good singer.
I have to know
how it feels, Hai Lai.
I have to know.
How do you know
if you're good at it?
At singing? Hai Lai,
I'm terrible at singing.
Conducting.
Okay.
You surprise me,
Hai Lai.
- Good.
- Come, come, come.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Okay, the podium.
And the orchestra.
- Okay.
- All right?
Okay. Look at them.
Connect with them.
- Lift your hands, remember--
- What piece are we doing?
Oh, you have to know
what piece you're doing.
Don't ask me.
Which piece
are we doing?
- Sibelius 5.
- All right.
Hm. North Carolina
enters the big leagues.
Okay? You ready?
It's in two.
- Yes.
- So--
Inhale.
Ah, bah.
Yes. Yes.
Bah.
Yes. Got it?
- Yeah.
- Si?
Yeah.
Now look at them.
All right.
There's that little
batutta section which
you have to know by heart,
because if not,
it's gonna choke you,
you know,
it's gonna win you,
- Okay?
- Okay.
Connect with them,
okay?
Like a little
teasing thing with flow.
Bah. They're so--
bah, da, da, da, da.
You know that
Sibelius called this
his struggle with God?
You know that?
Are you ready to
join the struggle?
Yeah.
Okay. Okay.
That's it, stronger.
And now, if you want to
make them play, Hai Lai--
You have to become
a child again.
Yeah, how do I do that?
Go away.
Close your eyes
for a little bit.
Yes.
For me it's
going back to Mexico
with Maestro Rivera.
And... open your eyes.
Give it to them.
Big.
On the left side here,
you get Warren Boyd.
If you mess up,
he'll always save you.
He'll always be there
for you. Always.
I owe you one
Warren Boyd,
I owe you one.
Bob the union.
He's very good.
He's always rushing
a little bit,
but it's out of joy,
out of love for the music.
You know.
All right?
Betty Cragdale.
Okay, the best.
She's-- you know,
she can do anything.
She's like the salt
in the dessert.
And Cynthia, she plays
with such passion
and such sadness.
I-- I don't know
where it comes from.
Use it. Okay?
Sublime.
Now, once you've
connected with everybody,
at that point--
You feel you're home.
That you're not alone.
Hey.
Hey.
Hailey.
Hey!
Maestro.
It's good to see you.
We miss you in New York.
- Everything okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
I'll be right down.
So what's she like,
you know?
The great Alessandra.
It's like a little scary.
- Really?
- She's like the
Stevie Nicks of opera.
What's goin' on?
Are you all right?
Yeah. No, no.
I'm--
Just wondering
what's going on
with the strike.
You know I'm not
supposed to really
talk about it.
I know, I know,
I just, like--
It can't go on
that much longer, right?
What's Rodrigo
said about it?
Nothing, really.
Maybe that's part of
the problem.
He just has
a bad relationship
with red tape.
Core responsibility.
He didn't cause this.
The board are the ones
that locked us out.
I mean, maybe we should
just change the subject.
I'm sorry.
I know it's not your fault,
I know you're on our side.
I need to tell you
something.
What?
I voted against
the orchestra's counter offer.
- Hailey.
- Goodbye.
Hailey, sit down.
Come on.
Look, Hailey, it--
Come on, it's complicated.
It was to contain Biben,
protect Rodrigo.
Yeah, but I've been
complaining to you
about how screwed up
all of my friends' lives
are because of the strike,
and the whole time
you're the one who
fucking caused it.
So go fuck yourself,
Erik.
How did you do it?
What?
How did you leave the thing
that you love most?
It left me.
Why do you think
I asked you to come here?
You're too tentative.
You think that
I'm too tentative?
Too tentative.
