Nashville (2012–2018): Season 2, Episode 11 - I'll Keep Climbing - full transcript

Previously on "Nashville"...

Evening, Mr. Mayor.

Peggy?!

We hear you're to blame
for the Wentworth separation.

- Back up!
- How's it feel to be a home wrecker?

All I want is to be a person
who gets to say "I love you."

Scarlett.

You can't take this
personally.

My ex is sleeping with my best friend,
and I can't take this personally?

- What's this?
- Market research.

- The album's not gonna sell.
- I'm buying myself out of Edgehill.



How's it going with Layla?
Just great.

Yeah.

- Yeah, that'll work.
- Hey.

I didn't expect to see you here.

Glenn said you were, uh,
adding our song to your set,

invited me to hear you
rehearse it. Sounds beautiful.

Thank you.

That was nice of him.
I'd better get back to it.

Is he gonna cry?

I think he's... he's trying
really hard not to.

My wife, as you all know,
was...

Shot and killed by a man
who clearly targeted me.

That man, Donald Stoffel,
was found early this morning

by Nashville P.D., dead
of an apparent suicide in his home.



Does that mean this is all over?
No one's trying to hurt dad anymore?

Yeah. That's exactly
what it means.

...Harbored
ill will toward my administration,

and, in fact, blamed me
for his chronic unemployment.

Because of
this man's delusion...

- The woman I loved is...
- Gone.

I'm grateful for the help
of the Police Department...

- What can we see dad again?
- Soon.

He said the only thing that helps him
right now is having y'all around.

I'll see you guys later.

Hey, you still here?

Yeah, the song wasn't
the only reason I came by.

Just wanted to check in.
Left a couple messages and...

Yeah. Uh, sorry.
I've just been swamped.

Figured you were, too.

Oh, yeah. You know, those dirty glasses
at the Bluebird come in fast and furious.

You're late, and where's
my nonfat latte, Emily?

It's good to see you, too.

Well, I'm glad your aunt's okay, if
for no other reason than I get you back.

- Uh, I'll catch you later. All right?
- Yeah.

So you up to speed
on everything?

Think so. The new head
of Edgehill's an ass.

You have a 19-year-old twit
opening up for you,

and, um, oh, everybody thinks you broke
up the world's most beloved couple.

Yep, welcome back to my life.

And you told Will that
we were doing this today?

Left voice messages,
though he never confirmed.

Just assumed he'd show or...
you guys'd come together.

Yeah. Me, too.

But the last time we talked
was at the festival.

- You never saw him after your show?
- No.

- Talk to his roommate at all?
- No, I haven't really met his roommate.

We're dating, but, um,
it's not like I know Will that well.

D.J.'s ready. Looks like you'll
have to talk for both of you.

- Yep.
- I'll keep looking.

So this new material
of yours... it's solid.

That's one step above "interesting,"
but, you know, two below you liked 'em.

It's not about like.
It's about fit.

You're Deacon Claybourne.
You've got a story.

These songs? I hate to say it,
but they just skim the surface.

So they're solidly
superficial songs.

Look, I want you to tap into the magic
you had when you wrote with Rayna.

My partners are gonna be back next
week, just for a couple of days.

You think that you can dig deep,
come up with some gold by then?

You bet.

- I know you're in the zone, but...
- Buh-buh-buh-buh.

- Seriously?
- I've just gotta get this verse down.

Mr. Man wrote a Luke Wheeler/
Rayna Jaymes song,

does not mean he's above answering
the door.

Can you not bust my balls,
please?

Hey. My name's Brent.
Uh, I work for Jeff Fordham.

Oh, come in.

Thanks.

Brent. Hey.

You come for, uh,
another one of my songs?

No. I'm actually looking
for Will.

Well, he's...
he's not here.

- Any idea where he might be?
- Something wrong?

Uh, he had a radio interview

with Layla and Watty White today
and just never showed up.

- That doesn't sound like him.
- No.

The tour's been on break, and no one's
heard from him since the festival.

Has he been home at all?

We don't really cross paths
much anymore, so...

So he wouldn't have told you
where he was headed or...

Um, what's going on
with him?

Probably not. No.

Is this like a "Call the cops"
kind of situation?

Maybe I'm just overreacting.

Probably just needed
to clear his head.

But if you guys hear from him,
uh, tell him to return my calls

and that the tour's back on
in two days,

and if he's not there,
then... he'll get dropped.

- Yeah. Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.

- Hey!
- Hey!

- I'm so sorry I couldn't pick you up.
- Oh, no. Mnh-mnh.

Glenn had me over
at sound check

to hear Juliette rehearse
the song we wrote together.

- Well, how's it sound?
- Honestly?

It sounded pretty great.

Is that why Juliette came by,
like, 2:00 A.M. the other week?

What?

Well, just to tell you that
she was gonna do your song?

I guess. Who knows why stars
do what they do?

I mean, she could have called
or something.

It's my publisher. Sorry.
Hello?

Yeah. I'm sitting down.

What? S-sorry.

What?

Yeah. Just...

Let me know, please,
as soon as you can.

Thank you.

Kelly Clarkson wants
to record "Fade into You."

- Are you serious? That's...
- That's awesome.

She... she wants to meet up,
like, really soon.

- With you?
- Yeah.

And Gunnar.

Right. Yep.

Cross that bridge when we come to it.
Oh, my God!

Kelly Clarkson wants
to record my song!

I'm just glad you were there that night
to take the girls home. Oh, my gosh.

So how long are you gonna stay there?

Oh, my goodness.
All right, well,

don't let the seaweed wraps
turn you green or whatever.

All right, honey.
Love you. Bye.

Tandy is at a spa.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

What's going on? Are they...
how are they doing?

Oh, it's fantastic. And we've
almost got the web site up, and...

The Highway 65
train has officially left the station.

This just got posted...
front page news.

Well, if it hits the trades,
it must be at least half-true.

Of course,
Edgehill put out a blurb,

and they spun it like
they were getting rid of you.

Nobody's gonna believe that,
especially after the record comes out.

So I'm gonna go over and meet
with Liam this afternoon

so we can start sequencing
the album,

and then all we have to do
is figure out a release date

and what single
we're gonna use.

Probably should get
some market research done,

see which track has
the potential to pop.

- Jeff gave me his market research.
- Wait. Jeff gave it to you?

I mean, it's probably just the same
crap they used for my last album.

You saw how well
that turned out.

I will be damned if I'm gonna let
Highway 65 use the Edgehill model.

Yeah, I don't know.

Oh, lovely. There they are...

The kooks who protest
everything under the sun.

I thought the Wentworth scandal
was over.

Apparently, they didn't
get the memo.

You're a disgrace!

Do you want me
to call security?

It's all right. They're just exercising
their First Amendment rights.

And here's mine.

Burn in hell!

Season 2, Episode 11
"I'll Keep Climbing"

- Oh, crap.
- What?

He left his hat on the bed,

which ans he was not thinking
straight when he left.

How so?

Everybody knows it's bad
luck to leave a hat on the bed.

We should check his search history.

Uh, you know what? Maybe...
maybe I should do that.

Could be some... Some guy stuff
on there you wouldn't wanna see.

What's there to do
at the Echo Ridge this time of year?

Ahem. I, um, heard you're looking
for new artists to sign.

What are you doing here? I thought
we were meeting at the studio.

Come on. I couldn't wait.
You're saying "screw you" to the man,

you buy yourself out
of Edgehill? That's awesome.

Such a big
turn-on, you know?

Uh, I'm kind of seeing
somebody, actually.

- Sort of dating.
- Who are we talking about?

Luke Wheeler.

No wonder you looked
so miserable when I walked in.

Why am I not shocked that
you don't like Luke Wheeler?

What's this crap?

Mm. This is why I looked
so miserable when you walked in.

Research on our album from Edgehill.
Shouldn't have looked at it, but I did.

You should burn it.

You know that
this market research says

that "Better Days" is not
the single to launch our album.

- Okay.
- All right.

"Better Days" is the single.
You're the artist.

- Don't start second-guessing yourself.
- Trust the vision.

Yeah, I do.
I do.

- Hello!
- Oh, hey!

Man, you're a sight
for sore eyes.

- Mmm! Oh!
- What?

I come bearing gifts.

Souvenirs from Dayton.
Are you kidding me?

When you told me about your A&R
meeting, I stopped by a music store.

That is so nice.

But I was really hoping
for a snow globe.

No?

- No.
- All right.

You're under a deadline and I wanted you
to have something special to write on.

Well... thank you very much.
I missed the hell out of you.

I missed the hell
out of you, too. Mmm.

- Ohh. Ohh.
- What?

The last thing I wanna be
is a distraction.

Well,
it's a little late for that.

Dad?

Yeah, honey?

You don't have to hide
how sad you are around us.

'Cause we know you are.

Come here.

I'm not nearly as sad when
y'all are with me, you know that?

Okay, so what am I gonna
make us for dinner?

You're not.
We're cooking tonight.

- Really?
- Yes.

Mac and cheese
with hot dogs.

How'd you know that's
what I wanted?

Thanks, honey.

She was nice.

Yeah.

There you are.

Are these the same people
that were in Nashville?

What do these guys have, frequent
flyer miles?

Or nothing better to do.

Anyone that girl
will not give an autograph to?

Aren't you Layla Grant?

- Oh. Hi.
- What do you think you're doing?

Nothing. They just
called me over.

And you just decided to
mix it up with some haters?

Hey, sinner! What are you teaching
our children with your evil ways?

Case in point.

Is that what your mother
taught you?!

You know she's in hell,
just like you'll be,

because God punishes
the wicked,

and you're just as wicked
as your junkie whore mother.

There is no God that would
listen to a crackpot like you.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.
What are you doing?

Don't engage
with those people.

No respect for Juliette.

Lexington!

What the hell
are you doing, huh?

I've been driving all over this
damn mountain trying to find you.

You realize when people...
when people disappear in my life,

- ...they tend to end up in a morgue.
- Don't look at me.

Hey.

- You all right?
- No!

No, I'm not all right!

I'm...

I'm disgusting.

What are you...
what are you talking about?

Just leave me
the hell alone!

Will!

Hey.

Um, just looking
for Gunnar.

He's... not here.

Well, he's not returning
my calls, and I need him to.

So... Would you mind
asking him to?

Yeah, I can do that.

- Thanks.
- You wanna come in and talk?

No, thanks.

You know what?
I am done feeling guilty.

I've tried to apologize to you
I don't know how many times.

But I fell for Gunnar
for the same reasons you did,

and if you don't understand that,
I don't know what else I can do.

- To your aunt's recovery.
- Ah, to employment.

Cheers to that.

Must be Juliette Barnes Press.
I've got a Google alert set for you.

If it's not about me winning another
award, I do not want to hear about it.

There is no God.
There is no God.

There is no God.

What?

There is no God.
There is no God.

There is no God.
There is no God.

I did not say that.

This is ridiculous. I'll call
your lawyer and Glenn,

tell 'em
it's fabricated footage.

I can't believe they can put
something like that in your mouth

and have it look so real.

- It is real. It's...
- What, you said there is no God?

"That would listen
to a crackpot like you."

This is taken completely
out of context.

It's just one gossip site.

Maybe we can get it pulled before
anyone bothers to take it seriously.

There is no God.
There is no God.

All right!
That was amazing!

Great, guys.

Thank you so much
for having us.

- Thanks for coming down.
- Thank you.

Man, the Cadillac Three.
I can see ya on Highway 65.

- I really do.
- Us, too.

- We'll get back to you guys soon.
- Yeah.

- Nice.
- Thank you so much.

Now y'all have
a good one.

They are good.

- How about that, huh?
- That was nice, huh?

- Oh, wow.
- What?

- That duet you did with Luke?
- Yeah?

Just hit number 6 on iTunes.
Still climbing.

Well, look at that.

Yeah. It's a hell of a parting
gift you gave Jeff Fordham.

Well, it's a good parting gift for me,
'cause if that single does well,

- ...it's gonna help me sell my album.
- True. True, true.

So, uh, you still thinking
"Better Days" for the single?

I did a really stupid thing. I looked
at that market research of Jeff's.

- And I wish I hadn't.
- So "Better Days" isn't the single?

According to the research, it says
there is not a single on the album.

- Did you talk to Liam?
- Yeah.

He says we're artists. We made
the album we wanted to make,

and we weren't thinking about
any of that stuff, which is true.

Except that...

Now that it's my label, I have
to think about that stuff.

Wasn't sure when you were coming back,
so went ahead and made a fire.

I'm guessing this had
something to do with Brent?

I remember you telling me
about some guy from Austin.

Is that him?

- Look, I know how you're feeling.
- Really?

- You get what it feels like to wanna die?
- That's why you came up here?

To kill yourself?

I came 'cause I couldn't.

I stood on those tracks, and
I watched that train come right at me.

That light was so bright,
it was like...

Relief. Like a light
at the end of a tunnel

and loud enough
to just drown it all out.

I... I hate it.

I hate living this.

I-I hate being this.

- You stupid son of a bitch!
- Uhh!

What the hell, man?!

Next time you feel like
you can't take it anymore,

you don't go trying
to off yourself, okay?

You find me.
You do anything but...

But pull crap like this!
You hear me?!

I am your friend.

Look at me.

Look at me.

I want you to say it.
Say you promise that you will call me.

I promise I'll call.

Okay.

It's not what I hoped.

Is it ever?

- Sustenance for the artiste.
- I'm not hungry.

Okay.

For the record,
I hate that word... "artiste."

Okay. Well, I can just
put this in the fridge,

- ...and you can have it later.
- I don't want it, all right?

So just... take it with you.
I didn't ask for it.

So you're saying
you want me to leave?

I'm saying I want you to stop
bothering me, if that's all right.

Okay. I wasn't aware
I was bothering you.

Yeah, well,
all this niceness...

this "can I help you?
Is there anything you need?"

That... I'm not a kid doing
my homework here, all right?

I'm... I'm workin',
and it can't be forced.

Okay, you're under a lot
of pressure. I get it...

You don't get it, Megan.
You don't. 'Cause you know why?

You're a lawyer, all right?
I'm not writing a brief here.

I'm writing a song.
It's a different ball game.

You know what?
You wanna fight, go ahead.

But you don't get to accuse me
of doing things I'm not doing.

I tell you what you are doing,
is you're bugging the hell out of me.

Now I'm not.

Look, man,
it's the 21st century.

It is okay to...
Be whatever.

Not if I'm gonna keep
doing what I do for a living.

You're too good
to give up...

On anything,
especially your life.

Yeah, well, truth is, if it ain't happened
yet, it's probably not gonna happen.

- You mean hurting yourself?
- Yeah.

And if that's not
gonna happen, then, uh...

Something else has got to.

Like me getting some sleep
for the first time

in I don't think how long, so...

You go on home.

I'll be fine.

- Detective, come on in.
- Mr. Mayor, you wanted to see me?

Yes. Yes, I did. I wanted
to follow up, because...

I've been going over
the evidence of this case, and...

Sir, for your own sake, I strongly
suggest you not reviewing this material.

Well, I-I'm just trying
to make sense of it to...

To understand
this man's motives.

Now we didn't know
each other.

I have only been mayor
for less than a year,

and this guy lost his job
five years ago.

That doesn't make sense.

Sir, with respect, making sense
of an obviously disturbed mind...

Yeah, but... yeah, but what...
what did... what had I done to him?

Or anyone
to justify what happened?

Are we absolutely sure
that there's not more to it?

That there... there isn't
a continued threat?

We can provide you with additional
security if you have concerns.

It's not me
that I'm worried about.

No respect for Juliette!

No respect for Juliette!

What is wrong with these people?
This is not news.

Hi, Gunnar. It's Scarlett. Uh, Kelly
Clarkson's people just called me...

And they wanna
record "Fade into You."

So, yeah, call me back. Bye.

- Thought you'd be gone.
- Slept in the truck.

Wanted to stick around,
see how you're feeling.

- You looked pretty happy on that phone.
- Scarlett, of all people.

Seems Kelly Clarkson wants
to record a song we wrote together.

- Congrats.
- Thanks.

That's what matters, man.

Making it happen.

You gonna be all right?

You go on.
I'll see you back there.

I gotta pack up
and catch a plane to Pittsburgh.

- Hey, Joey, how you doing, man?
- How's the magic coming?

Could not be better.

Fantastic, 'cause I set up a meeting
with the partners in two days.

Two days. That's...

- That's perfect.
- See you then.

Are you okay?

Did you see their faces?

I've never seen that before.
They hated me.

They are in the minority.

Don't forget about the millions
who love you.

It's Avery.
Do you wanna take it?

No, talking gets me
in trouble.

I need to learn how
to keep my mouth shut.

You didn't say
anything wrong.

It's just too bad we don't have
the full footage to prove it.

They'll never give that to us.
Are you kiddin'?

And even if they did, the press will
probably accuse me of doctoring it.

You know what
the craziest part is?

I could go out there, stand
in the middle of the stage, and...

Scream the truth at the top of my lungs,
and nobody would believe me.

Do you think they would believe Layla?
She was right there, wasn't she?

Thank you.

Hey.

- Hey. Thanks. For coming.
- Yeah, of course.

Look, I know it's my week with the girls,
but I really need you to take them.

Okay.

I don't mean to scare you,
but the man who tried to kill me...

- He may not have acted alone.
- Oh, my God.

I mean, we... we don't know for sure, but
a lot of this isn't adding up, and...

I mean, the bottom line is, I was
the target, and I'm still alive, so...

I don't wanna take a chance
with the girls' safety or yours.

I just...

I just think it's best that I keep
my distance for a while, okay?

Um, yeah.
You know, whatever you need.

I don't know. Just tell the girls
that I'm busy at work or...

Okay.

Yeah, Lord knows they've been
through enough this year.

I need you
to do me a favor.

Of course. Anything.

I need you to tell the media
what I really said to those lunatics.

Gee, I'd love to,
but I don't...

But what? You were
standing right there.

It was really loud
and chaotic.

Oh, come on.
You heard every word.

I just need you
to repeat it publicly.

Why would anyone
believe me?

Because as far as anybody who
doesn't know you is concerned,

you're as pure
as the driven snow.

And I'm supposed to put that
reputation on the line for you?

Yeah, you are,
because it's the truth,

and because if this does not
go away, our tour will.

And I will owe you one.

Oh, my gosh.
That was incredible.

I love that one, too.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Do you have any other
new material?

Oh. We haven't written
together recently, no.

Well, would you ever consider
writing with me in mind?

That would be... amazing.
Right?

That would be an honor.

Good, good, because
it's just emotionally so honest.

It's such a special connection
that you two have,

and there's really nothing else to say.
Y'all just sound great together.

I guess we just kind of,
uh, just kind of clicked...

Me and Scarlett.

Wow, you are very lucky.

But I'm getting together songs right
now for my next album pretty quickly,

and I was just hoping

that y'all wouldn't mind locking
yourselves away for a few days,

just to write some stuff,
see what happens.

Miss Clarkson, I'm thrilled
that you wanna record our song,

and I'm so grateful
for this opportunity

that you've given us
to work with you. I just...

I thought I could make it work,

but... I can't.

Gunnar and I are not
really at a place

where we can write
together anymore.

Um, what... what... what Scarlett
means is

- That we're trying to...
- We've had our differences.

I'm afraid that... the songs
that you would be wantin'...

Are not the ones
that you would get.

So I'm really sorry. I just
didn't wanna waste your time.

It's complicated.

Oh, my God. You made it.

I was worried sick.

Yeah. I, uh, I probably should've left
you a note or something. I'm sorry.

Where'd you go?
Is everything all right?

Yeah. I just needed to get away from
everything for a little while, you know?

You mean me, don't you?

No. Layla...

We're good. We're fine.
I-I just need to focus on my music, too.

You comin'?

What's up?

- I wanna talk to you about "Better Days."
- Okay.

So I took the liberty of
sending it out to a few people...

Friends and family, some programmers
who I really respect and trust.

And I have to tell you, the consensus
across the board is that...

You know,
it's... it's a great song,

but it's just not the song
that's gonna launch our album.

Okay, that's exactly like
what that research thing

- ...from Edgehill said, right?
- Yeah.

Yeah. Since when do you start caring
so much about what other people think?

It's not that I care so much
about what other people think...

No, come on.
You're saying "to hell"

"with my instincts and my gut.
I'm just gonna play it safe."

I... play it safe?
I have leveraged everything...

Everything for this label...
my house, my stocks.

I have risked everything
that I have.

That's what you do
as an artist.

It's so easy for you 'cause you
only have yourself to answer to.

I have two daughters...

Who have been through so much,
and if anything happens...

If anything goes wrong with
this album or with this label,

it's just gonna be more upheaval
for them, and I'm not gonna risk that,

not for my artistic
integrity or anything.

You're right.

- You're so sexy when you're right.
- You never quit.

I couldn't pretend that
I could work with him again,

and I can't pretend every time I see his
stupid face, I don't just wanna punch it.

Really? Really? You wanna
punch him in the face?

I'm not actually
going to punch him in the face.

You broke up with the guy.

Now he's seeing someone else
now, and so are you.

Why... why is it so hard
to be around him?

I mean, you still have
feelings for him?

I don't know. Do you have
feelings for Juliette?

- You're kidding me, right?
- No.

You don't turn up
at somebody's house at 2:00 A.M.

- ...unless something's pulling you there.
- She has nothing to do with this.

I saw the way
you looked at her, Avery.

We're like old slippers.
Aren't we?

We just... Stepped back in and tried
to pick up where we left off.

Yeah. We did.

But we're not the same.

No.

I guess we're not.

Ugh! I can't believe she just
tanked a meetg with Kelly Clarkson.

I never thought
Scarlett would be like this.

I just thought...

I really thought if we could
work together again,

we might be able to put all
this stuff behind us, you know?

Maybe be friends again.

Yeah.

Well,
that's not happening.

Hey, I'm sorry.
Okay? I'm sorry.

You know what?
I'm not.

I'm not sorry at all,
because I love you.

I love you, too.

I appreciate you coming over,
you know, especially after I, uh...

Behaved like a complete
and total asshat?

I was gonna say "jerk,"
but... yeah. That.

Can I ask how it's going without
getting my head bitten off?

You can.

- How's it going?
- Not great.

- You wanna know who I blame?
- It'd better not be me.

It's you.

Partially.

A couple of hours ago, I was sitting
in front of a liquor store in my truck.

I was wondering if the answer to all
this was in the bottom of a bottle.

- I didn't go in. I didn't drink.
- Good. I'm glad.

My whole life, I've known
how to write songs...

From a place of pain,
you know, or chaos.

Heartache. And right
now I'm just...

Trying every damn thing I can to figure
out how to do that when I'm happy.

So...

- You're happy.
- Yeah.

'Cause of you, 'cause of Maddie,
'cause of this music,

I'm... happy, and...

It's just gonna take
some getting used to.

Just so you know, my management team
is really against me doing this.

They're amateurs. And if
they drop you, I'll manage you myself.

What they don't understand
is all we're asking you to do

is go up there
and tell the truth.

It's time.

Here goes nothing.

Thank you all
for being here today.

I'm the last person in the world
who would defend Juliette Barnes

if she actually said
what was on that tape,

because as some of you may know,
I hold very deep religious beliefs,

and I would not betray those
beliefs for anyone or anything.

I was there that day.
I heard it myself.

The clip that's making the rounds
doesn't tell the whole story.

When those protestors were screaming
horrible things about her mother,

Juliette responded.

She said, "There is no God..."

"Who would listen
to a crackpot like you."

She killed it.

She better have,
or something else is gonna die,

like my career.

All right.

I know that was quite
an entrance, but...

Your duet with Luke Wheeler
just hit number one.

- Well, how about that?
- Yeah, how about that?

Jeff Fordham
must be thrilled.

Yeah, but did you her the latest
Juliette Barnes thing?

Yeah.
You know, I have to say,

she's said a lot of
crazy stuff before,

but I can't believe
she said that.

You know Jeff's
freaking out, though.

Forget about Jeff.
Focus. Highway 65.

- Here we go. Um...
- All right.

I did make a decision.

I'm not gonna use "Better Days"
for our single.

- Means we need a song.
- Well, write one.

Yeah, no pressure.

Well, it's not like you haven't
done it before, right?

Look, don't let this
market research

and your last record
shake your confidence.

You can write a hit single
for this new album.

- You know why?
- Because I have to.

Because you're
a brilliant songwriter.

Heck, I remember when
you and Deacon

used to knock out future number
ones between dessert and coffee.

Boy, that seems
like a long time ago.

Will.

- I was worried. Where were you?
- Uh, don't do that.

What's going on?

Look, I'm not gonna need
a minder on the road.

I got things under control,
so you tell Jeff thanks but, uh...

- You can go on back to Nashville.
- Wait, Will...

- It's...
- Don't!

It's okay.

You're just freaking out a little bit.
Everything's gonna be fine.

Nothing's gonna be fine
between us...

Ever again.

I tell you what.
That is not half-bad.

I'd say
it was pretty half-good.

You're right.

Come in. Hey!

Mom, you have got to hear
the song Deacon and I just wrote.

Yeah. I mean, we wrote
it in, like, five minutes.

- Well, maybe ten.
- Maybe ten.

I wanna hear it.

- I wanna hear it.
- Let's do it.

- 10-minute song.
- Okay.

- Yes.
- All right.

Hey, Juliette, it's me.

I'm watching all this on TV,
and, uh...

I just want you to know
that I'm... I'm here for you.

So... give me a call back.

Or... come by if you want.

Anytime...

Day or night.
