Country Crush (2016) Movie Script
You were
good, eight.
You were better.
Bull.
You could see down that field
better than anybody I knew.
It's a damn shame
you stopped playin.
It's a damn shame
I stopped growing.
Besides, someone had
to take care of mom.
Yeah.
I know that, uh, it
couldn't have been easy
dealin' with that
the way that you did.
Especially how she
was at the end.
Anyways, I...
came to say good-bye.
To the house?
I said good-bye to this
place a long time ago.
A house is
just a house.
Home are the
memories. Family.
You.
Come on.
Want a beer?
What, too early?
Or too late?
So, how's this old
Tow holding up?
I keep her
going.
She's probably on her
last legs though, huh?
I didn't know
if you'd come.
I'm glad
you did.
I'm gonna miss this
old farm too, you know.
Alot of
memories here.
Most of
them good.
How'd everything go with
the sale of the house?
We didn't get what
we were asking for,
but it should pay off all
of mom and dad's debts.
That's too bad, I was hoping
there'd be some left over
for you to go
back to school.
Study engineering like you
wanted to so badly growing up.
Some dreams are
meant to be dreams.
Like how some people are meant
to be mechanical engineers
while others are
just mechanics.
The world needs
both to keep going.
I'm fine
where I am.
Listen, maybe we
can help you out.
We got a bunch of money saved
up for little Cody's college...
Not a chance.
That kid deserves
the best.
You give
it to him.
Things happen for
a reason, right?
We do what
we have to.
Things don't always
go according to plan.
But, how we react
when things go bad,
that's what
determines our worth.
Dad taught
me that.
You really hate
him, don't you?
Charlie, our father
was a good man,
fifty percent
of the time.
Fifty's better
than nothing.
Fifty ain't enough.
Every chance in life you
get to do something good,
be something
better?
You take it.
Every chance.
# When dad left town,
leaving mom with the house #
# I wish I had stayed, to
help figure things out #
# But you stepped up, to
put her on her feet #
# That's just
what you do #
# When someone's
in need #
# It was you,
who was there #
# When I
couldn't be #
# Doing some good,
standing strong #
# Plowing through,
keeping on #
# We give all we got, even
though it ain't much #
# We show what we're
worth until it hurts #
# And fight for
what we love #
# Where doing right is
just understood #
# We're doing
some good #
# No rain in weeks,
wind was keepin up #
# Couldn't
grow nothing #
# With the ground
so tough #
# People shared
what they had #
# Cause that's
what we do #
# That handful of
seed we got #
# Got us through #
# Cause when the rains
finally came, we all knew #
# Ohhh #
# Doing some good,
standing strong #
# Plowing through,
keeping on #
# We give
all we got #
# Even though
it ain't much #
# We show what we're
worth, until it hurts #
# And fight for
what we love #
# Where doing right is
just understood #
# We're doing
some good #
You know I'm
shipping out today.
I need you to do
something for me.
I'll take care of them
until you get back.
But after you do
what you gotta do,
you come back to
us, you got that?
We still got all of mom's old
boxes of porcelain figurines
we gotta go through and I
ain't doing it by myself.
# Until we die, we
live our lives #
# Just like the
way we should #
# Doing some good,
standing strong #
# Plowing through,
keeping on #
# We give
all we got #
# Even though
it ain't much #
# We show what we're
worth, until it hurts #
# And fight for
what we love #
# Where doing right
is just understood #
# We're doing
some good #
Are you scared?
No.
It's another
day at work.
In the desert.
Where just about
everything and everyone
is kinda out
to kill ya.
Be safe.
Come on. One
more time.
Fourth and goal.
Kick the field goal, man.
Nope. Down by 6,
there's no time left.
Cody...
Hero or goat,
CB2, hero or goat?
Higher.
Really?
The ball is
snapped,
Bishop falls back.
Well, somebody
call a mechanic.
Nancy's piece
tuckers out again.
Ains, it's my car.
I can fix it.
Why don't you just get your
daddy to buy you a new one?
I'm not even gonna begin to
dignify that with an answer.
Besides, I
can fix it.
My daddy
taught me how.
Fine.
I'll just be here
watching the best years
of my life evaporate
before my eyes.
You're not the one who's going
to be late for her appointment.
I doubt your producer
is going to care
considering he's
your boyfriend.
Brad's not my
boyfriend.
Well, not yet,
anyways.
We're still in
that fragile phase.
No labels.
You're single, until you're
tagged in someone else's photo,
and then it's a little
complicated Nance.
The internet
doesn't lie to me.
It wouldn't.
We'll see how you
feel about that
when your sex
tape comes out.
As long as it's the
one with Xavier...
Oh you have
more than one?
Maybe.
Probably.
Oh come on Nance,
don't be prude.
We are liberated
women!
Feminism
in action.
Honestly, Ains, if you think
going all nature-channel
on tape is the pinnacle of
a feminist movement,
you should've
studied harder.
Well, at least tell me you
have a plan with Brad.
The whole "darling daddy's
girl" act doesn't work forever.
Brad is sweet.
But I have my album
to think about.
They still
make those?
You know
what I mean.
Brad says, I don't know, I
have potential or something.
Do you?
I hope so?
I'm just razzing
you, Nance.
All I'm saying is that, maybe
he thinks producing
and procuring go
hand in hand.
What does that
even mean?
Um.
It means
you're hot.
You're available.
You need him.
Well, the only thing Brad will
be "procuring" is my music.
I wish I had
your will power.
Let's give
this a try.
Start.
Yes!
- Okay.
Get me out of here, please,
and never bring me back.
Go.
Hi.
I'm here to see
Brad Hayes.
I have an
appointment.
Nancy!
Brad, hi.
Hi.
Um, hey, sorry, I had
some car trouble.
Again.
You remember
Ainsley?
Yes, Ainsley.
Always a...
pleasure.
So.
You ready to
make some magic?
Yeah, let's do it.
Alright.
Hey, Mark!
Hey, Nancy.
You ready to
rock my world?
I'll do my best.
That's all
we'll need.
Of course
you will.
I know talent
when I see it.
You know where
the headphones are.
Hey, Brad, I was
wondering if maybe
we could record
something I wrote today?
Um.
You wrote
something?
Yeah, well I wrote like
half of something.
It's not exactly
finished...
Let her give it
a shot, man.
You involved in
this thing, too?
I might have lent
a baby hand.
Well now I'm
just intrigued.
Go ahead.
Thanks.
Just breathe.
You got this.
# All of those nights I
stood in that window #
# Waiting for you
to come home #
# Wondering why, you
felt like you had to go #
# If I'd only known #
# The things you said
shouldn't, #
# couldn't, wouldn't, ever... #
Uh okay, Nancy,
thank you.
That was a
beautiful gesture.
But I just, I just don't know
if it was convincing enough.
You know the "shouldn't
wouldn't ever"
part, I just
wasn't feeling it.
Oh. Okay.
I mean you just, you gotta sing
with more emotion sweetheart.
Because you know if
you don't feel it,
we're not going
to feel it.
You know, your voice needs
to penetrate our skin,
make us feel it deep down
in our bones, you know?
I can try again.
Uh, you know,
not today, ok?
Let's just record what
we have planned and then
um, if we have any extra
time, we'll help you out
with your little song at
some point or another.
Okay?
Okay.
Great.
It's good, Nancy.
We'll get it there.
Okay. Why don't we
go ahead
and sing what you've
got in front of you there.
Kat? I'm home.
Oh, there's my
sexy husband.
How was
your day?
Ooh, it just got
better, hi.
Hi.
- Dad!
Hey squirt.
You're still here.
Yes. You haven't gotten
rid of me yet.
Just wondering why my husband
is taking off first thing
in the morning when he's
leaving his loving...
And very
understanding...
Very, very
understanding...
And sexy.
Did I mention sexy?
Leaving his wife and wonderful
son for six long months?
Can I go
outside?
Yeah, of course,
go on.
Don't wander off.
I won't.
Kat, I had to go, I had to say
good-bye to the old place.
I think it was
important to Charlie.
He misses you,
you know.
But you just keep on
breaking our hearts.
And I mean, who else is gonna
teach our son etiquette
and manners when
you're gone?
You will.
You worked on me.
See? This is going back in the
fridge, right where it belongs.
Yeah.
You going to
miss me?
You know I'm going to
miss you, Mr. Bishop.
Have I ever told
you how hot you look
in jeans and a
baseball cap?
Any chance you wanna
trade your uniform in
for cowboy
boots?
Kat...
- I know, I know.
I just, just don't understand
why it has to be you.
Hey. Are you, are
you crying?
No...
I don't, I just...
Baby, hey,
come here.
Dad, I made
you something.
What's this?
Just a card.
You made this?
This is, it's
really good.
Yeah, I don't know, I
just, I know it's dumb.
Ah, well, this, this is not
dumb, this is really good.
It's us.
It's our family.
We're one heart.
You bring it back
to us, you hear?
I will.
I love you.
And I love you.
You guys are my world, and
I'll be back before you know it.
Okay? You wanna
help me pack?
Yeah.
- Yeah?
Come here.
You coming?
Yeah.
# I know you wonder
what makes a guy tick #
# I know you've
been hurt before #
# Sometimes love ain't
what you pictured at all #
#I know you wonder what
goes on in my mind #
# And why I walk
out that door #
# I don't really blame
you but give me a try #
# And darlin'
I will show #
# I'll never
let you go #
# Because I'm
all yours #
# I know it
gets lonely #
# But my heart soars
whenever you hold me #
# In this whole world, you're
my one and only, you #
# You're my one
and only you #
# Rain's gonna fall, storm
clouds will gather in the sky #
# But I'll give
it my all #
# Just to be back by
your side, oh yeah #
I love you more.
Don't bet on that!
# Because I'm all yours, I

Nancy: I can't believe you're
dragging me to this party Ains.
I'm not even gonna
know anybody there.
We're branching.
And besides, you could
have stayed in the city
with your sexy
new sugar daddy.
Ew, don't call
him that.
Brad is not my
sugar daddy.
I wouldn't even let him pay for
my to-go salad the other day.
Oh, no. That doesn't
sound good.
Oh, is that
normal?
Oh, no.
No, Ains, a large mushroom
cloud of smoke coming
from the engine
is not normal.
I'm going to call Justin and
see if he can come get us.
Call a tow while
you're at it.
Maybe we should just leave it.
it's dead. Just let it be dead.
Ains, come on.
Fine.
Fine, I'm
calling a tow.
Cute.
Hey.
Hi.
This must be
your car.
I'm actually the one
that called you.
Oh, yeah, I figured.
Um, so what seems
to be the problem?
I, umm, I think
she overheated.
I've been having trouble
driving longer distances.
Shorter distances.
Pretty much like
all distances.
Mind if I
take a look?
Yeah, for sure.
I think it's just a small
leak in the rad I can't find.
Well, you
had a leak.
I knew it.
...and that leak
turned into a small
crack right
up the radiator.
No way. How could I
miss that?
It probably
just happened.
That's bad.
Yup.
Do you know a
lot about cars?
Yeah, my dad
taught me enough.
He said if I was to drive
I should know my fill.
Well, either your
dad's a smart man
or he's trying to run
me outta business.
You have a place
you can fix her up?
Yup, right
in town.
Okay. I'm gonna go break
the news to my friend.
Watch out for
flying cell phones.
Ains, it's bad.
We're gonna have to
tow it to the shop. I'm sorry.
That's ok. Justin's
a few minutes away
and then we can hashtag party.
Ok.
Hitch 'er up!
You got it.
# Scared to death, I

it's up to me #

Ainsley!
Your carriage
has arrived.
Thank God.
Well, it was nice
to meet you.
Oh, saved by the
party mobile.
Nance, let's go,
get in the car.
There's plenty of
booze in the back.
I guess that's
your escort.
I'll give you the address, so
you can pick it up tomorrow.
Yeah, okay.
Nance.
Let's get that
hot bod up here.
You don't want
to go, do you?
I do not.
Hey, guys, unfortunately
the shop has a strict rule
that the owner of the vehicle
must stay with the vehicle
until it's fixed, so I guess
that means that Miss Nancy's
going to have to
rent a room in town.
What are
you doing?
Getting you
outta going.
Unless you wanna go
and have what I'm sure
will be a wonderful time
with your friends.
By all means, don't let
me get in your way.
Nance, we have his plates,
he can't steal your car.
Can we go?
Ains, hold
on a sec.
Is there really a room
I can rent tonight?
I don't even
know your name.
It's yours if
you want it.
And I'm Charlie.
I'm Nancy.
I have a
boyfriend.
Yeah, good.
Ains, I think I'm just going
to stay with my car tonight,
I'm sorry. You guys go to the
cottage without me.
Ok, fine.
Don't do anything
I would do!
Let's go!
Okay. I'm just gonna
load in your car.
The motel is just
up the street.
Ok, thanks.
So, I talked to the motel lady,
said there's no rooms tonight.
Some Jamboree
or something?
Oh. Totally slipped
my mind.
Um, well you can always
stay at my place?
It's nothing
fancy but...
Uh, whoa,
cowboy.
You expecting me to
fall for that one?
Fall for what?
I can't
believe you.
What?
Is this some, like,
elaborate scheme
to get into my pants
or something?
Excuse me?
You heard me.
I ditched my friends...
You said that they
weren't your friends.
Because you told me you had
a place for me to stay and...
Ok first off, I've
never done anything
elaborate in my
entire life.
And aren't you making
a huge assumption?
My interest in you.
Are you saying that
you're not interested in me?
I'm not saying
that, either.
Well, then, would you like to
explain to me what I'm doing
here with no place to stay
besides your dumpy bachelor pad?
Listen.
I forgot about
the Jamboree.
Honest mistake.
I haven't been
there in a long time.
Right, this is my
convinced face.
Let me make something
perfectly clear.
My intentions towards you are
purely of the gentleman variety.
It's not just some scheme
to get into your pants.
Gentleman's a
dying term.
Not where I
come from.
And, honestly, your
convinced face looks
a lot like your
pissed off face.
Virtually no
difference.
Not staying
with you.
Ok, then I can also drive
you up to the cottage
where you can sleep on a futon
with a fondling frat boy.
Or you can hang here with me,
and I'll be a perfect gentleman.
There's that
word again.
Fondling frat boy?
Perfect gentleman?
Charlie, you still don't have
a place for me to stay, like...
You can stay at my
sister-in-law's.
She's got a pull-out
sofa in the den.
Okay.
No funny
business.
Oh, you got it.
Nothing fun.
No smiles, laughing,
just serious work.
And we better not go to
the Jamboree because
the possibility for funny
business is just way too high.
Okay. Maybe we can go
to the Jamboree.
Risky.
Very risky.
Just friends.
Of course.
Friends.
Hey, um, I'm
sorry I came off
a little full of
myself back there.
Okay.
A lot full of
myself back there.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry
about it.
It's not my first run
in with a prima-donna.
Ex-girlfriend?
Former
running back.
It's a football
position?
Yeah, not really
into sports.
So I guess that it wouldn't
impress you that I was QB1
and we were State Champs
two years running?
Maybe. How many home
runs did you hit?
Hello?
Hey Kat, it's me.
Oh, hey, Charlie.
Hey, Cody mentioned
he saw you before
he took off.
Yeah, he stopped
by the old house
and we threw a few
passes in the field.
Aww, too bad I wasn't there
to cheer you boys on, huh?
Best head cheerleader
this town's ever seen.
Go Ravens.
Um, so I was actually kinda
calling for some advice,
I um...
About a girl?
Wait, how'd
you know?
Well, I already showed you
how to patch your pants.
So uh, what else
could there be?
You know I haven't
really dated anyone
since mom got
sick, and um...
And you really
like this one?
Maybe.
I mean, I
think I could.
Well, is she going
to the Jamboree?
She actually didn't
really know about it,
and now she kinda needs
a place to stay...
Oh, well she can of
course she can stay here!
Ok great, thanks.
And, um, right now I
was actually kinda
thinking of taking
her to the Jamboree.
Kinda or gonna?
I wanna, I just
don't know if I should,
I mean, she has
a boyfriend.
Oh, I mean if she was
really into her boyfriend,
she wouldn't be giving
you the time of day.
Well that's what
I'm nervous about.
A Bishop-boy
nervous?
Wow.
She must be
some girl.
Good luck!
Trouble.
Change.
Thanks, Mrs. Stanley.
- Mm-hmm.
Excuse me, girls.
Hi, Charlie, are you going
to the Jamboree tonight?
Yeah, I'm thinking
about it.
Great, see
you there.
You got it!
Well, hej there,
Charlie.
Did you see a girl
come in here?
She's blonde, pretty.
Uh, not really
from around here.
Oh, yes,
she's right...
Was over there.
Huh, guess
she slipped out.
This book is distracting
to say the least.
Mr. S know you're
reading that?
Shh, It'll be our
little secret.
So about that girl, um, like I
said she's not from around here,
but I was kind of
thinking about
bringing her to the
Jamboree tonight.
How lovely!
So it's a date?
No, uh, not a date.
I mean, it's...
I just want to look
presentable. You know?
You need a
new shirt.
I need a
new shirt.
Alrighty,
let's see, um.
Nope, nope, nope.
Ah, here.
Try this one.
Oh, perfect.
Brings out the deep
green of your eyes.
Okay I'll take it.
I'll see you
around, okay?
Bye-bye.
Bye Charlie.
What do you think,
for the Jamboree?
Beautiful.
Okay.
I'll take it.
He's a good boy.
Don't hurt him.
I doubt I have
that kind of power.
Well, you're the first girl in
a long time to catch his eye.
Where are
we going?
This doesn't look
like a Jamboree.
It's my
old house.
The new people don't
move in 'til tomorrow.
Come on.
Trust me.
It'll be worth it.
Okay.
Wow.
My mom always thought
that this was
the closest place to
heaven on Earth.
My mom used to say that
caramel pecan ice cream
was the closest thing
to heaven on Earth.
Your mother sounds
like a smart lady.
Yours, too. Maybe they
should meet.
Oh.
I'm sorry Charlie,
I didn't know.
No, that's okay.
She got sick a couple years back
and... she didn't get better.
I can't even
imagine.
I've never lost
anybody before.
Then you're lucky.
Yeah.
She always
used to say
you don't know sweet
until you've had sour.
Something like that.
Anyway, that's just why I
stopped going to the Jamboree.
She loved them, and,
after she died,
it just wasn't
fun anymore.
Charlie, we don't
have to go tonight.
No, I do.
You got to keep on
keeping on, right?
I guess so.
So, the shop
was your dad's?
My brother is in
the military,
and I took over
after my dad left.
And you love it?
I'm good at it.
I don't love it.
I was always interested in
mechanical engineering but,
it's the never ending oil
changes and tire rotations
that I'm just not
crazy about.
So why didn't you
study engineering?
My parents didn't have enough
money to send us to college
and I was gonna apply
for scholarships,
but once my mom got
sick it just kinda, fizzled.
It's not too
late, Charlie.
I think it is.
Anyway, it's my brother who's
got the big ol' Purple Heart
you know, making
a difference.
Doing the right thing just
came naturally to him.
Truth is, I just don't feel
like my story's written yet.
My family's here.
Well, what's left.
I've got the shop
and, it's home.
So, what about you?
What do you want to
do with your life?
I'm sure you've got
it all planned out,
sophisticated city
girl and all?
I don't know.
- Oh, come on.
A girl like you?
You know what
you want.
Well, I want to be a
singer, singer/songwriter,
trying to
be one.
I've been writing songs
since I was, like, fourteen.
So, sing something.
Now?
Yeah, something
you wrote.
No, no I'm not going
to sing here...
Yeah, sing something.
Just a few bars.
I sing in front of,
like, my friends...
Hey, you want to be
a singer, right?
Yes.
So, sing.
Sing.
Okay. Fine.
Whoo!
Come on Nancy!
Charlie!
What? Come on.
I'm excited.
This is what your
fans are gonna be like.
My fans?
Oh yeah, when you're
like a big star
and you're playing
for big towns,
big crowds and
big lights.
Everything's big, huh?
Dreams've
gotta be big.
Coming from the guy who
gave up his dream of being
an engineer to work in the
shop the rest of his life,
get married quick,
raise a couple kids.
Well it's a different
kind of big.
Sing.
Okay.
# All of those nights I
stood in that window #
# Waiting for you
to come home #
# Wondering why you
felt like you had to go #
# If I'd only
known #
# The things you said
shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't #
# Ever come true,
came true #
# Here I am standing
in front of you #
# Don't know
what to do #
# Don't wanna
throw us away #
# Here I am believin',
lookin' for a reason #
# We're running out
of things to say #
# So much time and
now I'm findin #
# I was wrong all along
so now here I am gone #
That's, uh...
I know.
It needs some
work, I just...
I loved it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So, um, so you want
to get going?
Maybe just, a
couple of minutes.
Wow, it looks like the
entire town is here.
Entire town?
Try half the county.
This Jamboree is
world-renowned.
Okay, would you believe
country-renowned?
That's pretty good.
Okay.
Okay, what do
you want?
What do
they have?
Anything you
could imagine.
What'll it be Charlie?
Ladies first.
Okay, um could I get a
Peach and Honey Sangria.
Half the OJ,
double the lime.
And if you guys
have fresh peaches
instead of frozen peaches,
that would be great.
Thanks.
Peaches?
Two beers.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Yeah.
It was.
I got an idea.
Wait a sec.
Where are
you going?
Hey, do you mind if I
borrow this for a second?
Thanks.
Hey everybody.
I got a special treat
for you guys tonight.
No, no, no.
She's a very talented young
lady who is just going to
melt your hearts, just
like she does mine.
So everyone, put your
hands together for Nancy!
Come on.
Come on.
What are
you doing?
Well, you said you
wanted to sing.
Yeah I do.
But I sing in front of, like,
my family and friends.
Oh, come on. Well, we're all
family and friends here.
I mean look, there's
Mary-Jane and there's Chip,
and Justin, and Megan and
Heather and, I can keep going.
Okay, okay.
Alright.
Come on guys.
So, we'll start slow, just
follow me in the chorus.
Uh, hi everybody,
I'm Nancy.
Okay, um.
When I point at you guys,
I want you to sing,
# Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh.
Can you guys
do that?
Okay let's
try it.
# Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh
Perfect.
# Today's the day I hit
the ground running #
# Straight to
Tennessee #
# Guitar is
all I need #
# I've been dreaming
this dream forever #
# I'm finally
waking up #
# Cause safety
nets are just #
# Something that's
getting in my way #
# From making my
own history #
# I'm breaking
chains #
# It's got me
singing #
# Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh #
Great!
# I'm alive, life is a ride
what makes you feel alive #
# Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh #
# I'm alive #
# I wanna
celebrate today #
# Make hay when the
sun's throwin' rays #
# Thank the good Lord,
every time I pray, singin' #
# Ohhh-ohhh
I'm alive #
Yeah, I know, I
know, I know.
# My momma raised me on
a hug no handshake #
Alright, alright.
Good night.
I love you.
So, I talked to my parents,
they were a little pissed
but I told them
I was better off
with one boy than
a cabin full of them.
They understood.
Did you talk to
your sister-in-law?
Yup. You're all good
to stay there.
Okay, good.
They don't have
any pets, do they?
You're not allergic,
are you?
Only to cats.
Charlie, I'm like,
really allergic to cats.
I guess we're staying
at my place, then.
What? No.
Come on, we're both adults
and I ain't gonna do nothin'.
Besides, I'm the one
who should be worried.
Excuse me?
A stranger, staying
at my place?
Where are
you going?
What, are you planning
on sleeping in the truck?
My apartment's
up here.
Oh. You live here?
What, is it not fancy
enough for you, city girl?
Want me to roll
out the red carpet?
Come on.
It's usually a lot
cleaner than this.
Oh I bet.
But picking up a couple
pieces of laundry
isn't going to really
make a difference.
I can't unsee what
I've already seen.
Perfect.
Okay, the bathroom's over
there, and this is the bed.
And where am I
going to sleep?
Or I could just make a
pallet out of all
of your laundry
on the floor.
Don't be silly.
You're going to
sleep on the bed
and I'll sleep in the
truck downstairs.
Charlie you don't
have to do that.
Perfect, gentleman.
Remember?
Okay. Good night.
Good night.
Okay let's tuck you
in boy, come on.
I love you.
Mommy.
- Yeah?
Do you miss dad?
From the second
he left, sweetie.
Why does he always
have to go?
Well,
sometimes people who live
in other places don't have
the same things or
opportunities that we have
and they can't help themselves,
so that means that daddy
has to travel really far
away to help them.
But I promise you, no matter
how far away he travels,
he's thinking about
you this very moment.
Good.
Cause I think
about him, too.
Good, now go
to sleep.
I love you.
Mommy.
- Yeah?
Can you leave
the light on?
Sure, sweetie.
Good night.
# I've spent so
many evenings #
# On just one
side of the bed #

that too #

Morning, Charlie.
Did you get locked
out of your house?
Nope.
I have a visitor.
A visitor?
Didn't go so
well, huh?
Thanks, Barney.
No problem.
You have a
good one okay?
You too, Charlie.
Better luck
next time!
I didn't know it was
going to cost so much.
I just can't...
I know,
Mrs. McIntyre.
Don't worry about it,
it's okay.
Just pay me
what you can.
MRS. McINTYRE:
Oh dear, Charlie.
Can you, can you
afford that?
For you
anything.
But you do owe me one
of those homemade
peach cobbler
pies, okay?
MRS. McINTYRE:
You got it!
Come here.
Give me
some sugar.
Okay.
Okay, you drive
home safe, now.
And give my
best to Harry.
Good morning.
Morning.
How'd ya sleep?
Good.
How about you?
Like a frog
in a bog.
I fixed your car
this morning.
Wow! Already?
Thanks.
You act like I
wasn't gonna fix it.
Like I was going
to keep you here
against your will
indefinitely.
Well, don't tell me it
didn't cross your mind.
Your chariot awaits.
Thanks.
How much do
I owe you?
Don't worry
about it.
Charlie.
It's okay.
Hey, do you wanna get some
breakfast before you run?
I shouldn't, I should
really get going.
Of course.
But last
night was...
Nice.
Yeah.
If you're ever
in the city.
Well I'm never
in the city.
But now I have
a reason to.
Great.
Good.
Okay.
It's just...
It was nice meeting
you, Charlie Bishop.
Bye.
Are you excited to
talk to your dad?
I'll bet not as
much as I am.
Ahh! There
he is!
Hi baby!
- Katherine?
Hey, how are you?
Hey, sweating like a
pig in a porkhouse.
How are you guys?
We're good,
we're good.
Hi, dad.
- Hey soldier.
God, I miss you.
- I miss you, too.
When you
coming home?
My birthday is in two weeks, so
I need you to make hamburgers,
'cause mom's
aren't as good.
Ouch, buddy!
What? It's the truth,
even dad knows it.
Soon, son.
But until I am, you're the
man of the house, okay?
And, you know,
with mom's help,
you can flip those
patties on the grill.
Okay, I'll try.
I love you
guys so much.
I'm thinking
about you
every second of every
hour of every day.
I love you
too, dad.
Bye.
So how is it
out there?
Are you
keeping safe?
You know me right?
No risks.
Right.

Hey, how's my

Staying out
of trouble?
Actually, I'm not
so sure about that.
He uh, he found
himself a girl.
No!
- Yes.
I haven't met her yet,
but from what I can tell,
he actually really
likes this one.
Well I'll be!
You talk to him, you tell him
that's the right kinda trouble.
I will.
And you also tell him if he
found the girl of his dreams,
to do what his big brother
did, and never let her go.
Hey, Cody we
gotta go.
Ah, ok, sorry Katherine,
I gotta, I gotta go.
Already?
Yeah, we're heading out
soon and I gotta get ready.
Okay, I love you.
I love you too.
Please be safe.

Good?
I gotta look

So where are you
going tonight, anyways?
She texted me.
Some club downtown.
You're not

No, ma'am. Wouldn't
dream of it.
Good.

You talking with
Cody tonight?
Yeah, eight

Well, tell him
I say hi.
I will.
Hey, what's
wrong?
Oh, God, I
don't know.
I just, um, I haven't really
been sleeping very well,
and, um, I just keep getting
this silly feeling, that...
Hey.
He'll be fine.
He promised he'd
come back, remember?
Cody always keeps
his promises.
Right?
Right.
See you
around, man.
Hey, behave
yourself tonight.
I'm a Bishop.
How much trouble could
I possibly get into?
I'm not going
to answer that.
Probably for
the best.
Yeah, can I
get a beer?
Thanks.

Hello?
He didn't
call, Charlie.
What do you mean
he didn't call?
I was waiting by the
computer like I always do,
me and Cody Jr., and
he never came online!
Calm down Katherine.
You know, things don't
always run on
schedule, it's ok.
No, but, are
you sure?
You have nothing to be afraid
of, you understand me?
Oh, I'm sorry. You're on a date.
Ummm, go have fun and um,
I'm sure
he'll call.
He will.
Okay, I gotta
go now,
but I'll call you first thing
tomorrow morning, ok?
And text me when
you hear from him.
Yeah I will.
Okay, bye.

Get lost.
No no no, man, we do it all
in-house and then we jack up
our overhead costs
by ten-fold.
You wouldn't believe
how well we're doing.
And some of the girls bringing
in their demos to my studio?
It's insane.
Hey, and get this, I get the
front desk to make sure
that they leave
a headshot.
Yeah, yeah, exactly!
What?
No no no, man,
that was last week,
well, yeah, she was a wild
ride, but her music sucked.
Yup, for sure!
Hey, I gotta go, I'm surprising
the regular tonight.
Yeah, alright later.
Wild ride?
The regular?
If my mom ever heard
me talk like that,
she'd wash my mouth
out with a bar of soap.
Well, I guess it's a good thing
that your mom's not here.
You know, I think it's just
kinda sad that talent has to
take a backseat to mandatory
prostitution at your studio.
What you're doing, it
doesn't take a saint
to know that it
ain't right.
Listen, kid, there
is no right.
There's no
wrong anymore.
There's only what you want,
and what you're willing to do
to get what
you want.
Oh, and uh, you shouldn't listen
to other people's conversations.
And you shouldn't
talk so loud.
Nancy!
Charlie!
You came.
You remember
my friend Ains?
Yeah, of course.
Hi.
Hey.
Uh, sit down!
Sit down.
Hey, sweetie!
Brad! What are you
doing here?
Surprise.
I thought that you said
that you were going
to that gig in the
Arts District?
Oh, we did. But it was
so awful we left.
Oh, okay.
Umm, cool!
This is my
friend Charlie,
Charlie, this is my boyfriend
Brad, and this is Mark.
Of course.
Great to meet
you, man.
Nice to meet you.
And uh, how exactly do we,
uh, know Charlie again?
Oh, Charlie is the
guy who fixed my car
and kind of got me
around last week.
Yeah, so sweet.
Wow.
You came all this way
just to see the pretty girl
whose car you
fixed, huh?
That is sweet.
Sounds like your mother raised
you to be a perfect gentleman.
I guess they just don't make
them like they used to.
We're a
dying breed.
I was talking
about her car.
And what is it that
you two do again?
Well we're in
the music biz.
Uh, I'm a producer, and,
Mark works for me.
Yeah, Brad is the producer I was
telling you I was working with.
Oh is that so? And
how did you two meet?
It's actually kind
of a funny story.
I was looking at this
music magazine blog,
and I saw that this new
local label was opening up.
They don't normally take
unsolicited materials
but I thought,
why not?
Wait, let
me guess.
When you got to the front
desk, they asked you to leave
a headshot with your demo,
and when you did,
Brad's the one who called
you to bring you in.
How did you
know that?
Just a hunch.
You know what,
I should go. I'm imposing.
No, Charlie.
Stay.
Yes Charlie, stay.
I'm sorry.
He's probably out
of his element,
you know, used to handling
farm animals or something
a little less
complicated.
Look, Nancy, your boyfriend,
he's a real piece of work.
I had the pleasure of
overhearing his conversation
in the bathroom telling his
buddy all about how he
"manages the
studio."
I'm not even going to
tell you half the things
that he said
but I...
You just
deserve better.
Okay?
You deserve
better than him.
Nancy, is this
kid for real?
Brad, hold on.
Charlie, I don't know what
you think that you heard,
but Mark and Brad have
been really helpful
to me at the label.
It's a good
company.
Dude, what do you know
about business anyway?
You're a car
mechanic.
I own my
own shop.
Well, maybe you should
run back to it,
because you're clearly
upsetting my girlfriend.
Don't you mean
"the regular"?
I mean, that is how you
referred to her on the phone.
What's he
talking about?
Don't listen to him, he's
completely misconstrued
my entire
conversation.
Nancy, can I please
talk to you in private?
No, you
may not.
Nancy?
Guess his bumpkin
upbringing
failed to teach him
a lick of manners.
Excuse me?
I said your country
bumpkin mother
should've taught
you some manners.
Stand up.
What?
I said stand up.
Is he for real?
I'm out of here.
Charlie!
Please?
Fine, I'll
handle it.
Hey Charlie!
Hold up, man.
We got off on the
wrong foot, okay?
Come on back, I'll
buy you a drink.
Okay?
See?
No harm.
No foul.
Besides, bro-code.
We can share.
Brad!
Brad!
Hey, I'm out of here,
you're not my brother.
Charlie, Charlie!
Charlie!
Did she seriously
just leave with him?
Charlie, what the
hell was that?!
Your boyfriend's a liar and
you deserve so much better.
I mean, how can
you not see it?
It's like your eternal
optimism overshadows
your really bad
judgment of character.
What are you
talking about?
He's seeing other
people, Nancy!
I heard him
on the phone.
He called another
girl a wild ride.
I know he sees other
people, Charlie.
But if I was really
that in love with him,
do you think I ever would've
kissed you in the first place?
So then why are
you still with him?!
Brad is helping me make
my first album, Charlie!
Do you know how lucky I
was to have met him?!
This could be
everything!
He's good
for me.
Yeah, but he's
not good to you.
His label is one of the fastest
growing in the entire city,
he can really
help me.
You don't need
his help.
You are so
talented, Nancy!
You can start small, work
your way up in the business.
You can perform here,
perform anywhere!
People will recognize
how talented you are
and you will
make it.
Just without him.
It's not that
simple, Charlie.
You're thinking
about it one way.
Maybe where you're
from things are just...
What?
Small.
"Dreams have got to
be big", Charlie.
Your words,
not mine.
Yeah, but not when it
compromises who you are,
and what you
believe in.
You don't have to
sell yourself.
At least I'm fighting
for what I believe in!
That's more than I
can say for you.
Besides, I haven't slept with
him, I'm not compromising...
That's just details.
Yeah, that's what
life is, Charlie. Details.
Not the broad strokes
you think it is.
Brad and I, we have a good
time when we go out together.
And I like working in the
studio with him and Mark.
They believe
in me.
If he believes
in you,
then he'll make your
album regardless.
I can't risk that.
You're better
than that.
I'm better than this.
Whatever this is.
# What's going
through your head #
# All the things
I said #
# Don't seem to get
through to you #
# You read your
magazines #
# Thinking up
these scenes #
# Where someone comes
and rescues you #
I never asked for
that, Charlie.
# Not sure I can compete
with every fantasy #
# That seems to take
control of you #
That's not fair.
That's not fair for
you to say that.
# What happened to the real
sparks we used to feel #
# When I had a hold of you
I'm giving all that I can #
# You're chasing
dreams I can't follow #
# You're holding
love in your hands #
# Don't throw away
sweet tomorrow #
# Look into
my eyes #
# Tell me what
you find #
# Can't you see
what's happening #
Charlie.
# I'm slowly losing faith in
what I'm trying to save #
# Can't you see you
might lose everything #
This is about my
future, Charlie.
# I'm giving all
that I can #
# You're chasing
dreams I can't follow #
# You're holding
love in your hands #
# Don't throw away
sweet tomorrow #
# Ohh, nooo #
# Don't throw away
sweet tomorrow #
# Come back to
what you were #
# Come back into
my world #
# Where love ain't
make believe #
# And you
will see #
# Reality is all
you need #
A man like me.
I'm sorry, Charlie.
I think you
should go home.
Nancy, you
don't need him.
Come with me.
You'll have to
work harder, yes.
But I promise I'll be there
every step of the way.
How do you know
that, Charlie?
We had one
night together!
You don't
even know me.
I do know you.
Okay, maybe not
everything,
but I know what kind
of person you are.
You can't deny
this connection.
Yes, I can.
# I'm giving all
that I can #
# You're chasing
dreams I can't follow #
# You're holding
love in your hands #
# Don't throw away
sweet tomorrow #
Oh, hey, Mark.
Um, have you
seen Brad?
Brad had to run
back to the studio.
And Ains went
with him?
That guy who came
in here earlier.
Charlie?
He seems... pretty
crazy about you.
You seem... kinda
crazy about him too.
You know how
things are with Brad.
I don't really want to
jeopardize anything.
Nancy, your music is
only gonna be as good
as your life
experience.
You're a good writer, but
if you think that Brad
is ever going to inspire you to
write anything truly great,
you'd probably
be wrong.
The best music I ever made
came from my relationships.
The real ones.
The gigs, the
excitement?
It comes
and goes.
Success soars
and falls.
The music is what stays
with us, besides love.
Good night, Mark.
Thanks.
Ah, you taste sweet.
Like what?
Is that
passionfruit?
Mm-hmm.
Sexy.
What do you say, baby, hmm? You
and me against the world?
I say, yes.
I'm sorry, we're gonna
need to do that one again.
That last one reeked of
cliches and unoriginality.
I mean, if you
guys don't feel it,
how am I supposed
to feel it?
Try some real
emotion this time.
It's supposed to penetrate the
skin, not make the skin crawl.
Nance, it's not
what it looks like.
It is what it looks
like, but I'm drunk,
I... I don't even care
about him.
I'm the one who doesn't
care about you.
Look, Nance...
I can't hear you.
Nancy! Nancy, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
Don't touch me.
Just let me
explain.
There's nothing
to explain.
I was angry, okay?
I made a mistake.
But don't go
throw this all away.
Just, don't.
Hey buddy.
Mom.
Stay right
here, buddy.
Bishop Towing.
You said he
would be fine.
You said he
would be fine!
Kat, it's going
to be okay.
It's not okay.
It's not.
Okay.
Let's put this
arm in first.
Why?
Why do I have to
wear this, mom?
Because we have to look
good for daddy, honey.
Why? He's not
coming home.
Your daddy is
home, baby.
# Half awake today #
# Can't help but
feel alone #
# I swear I hear
you calling me #
# But realize I'm
on my own #
# Half asleep
at night #
# Across an
empty bed #
# I reach out and
touch the pillow #
# Where you used to
lay your head #
# No one's to blame, still
it hurts just the same #
# You're the song
that haunts my soul #
# That keeps me
up all night #
# Because it's
still not right #
# And how I long
to make it whole #
# But you were meant to be
an unfinished symphony #
# Walking on
the pier #
# Getting caught
out in the rain #
# You just laughed
and took my hand #
# As I kissed your
lips again #
# It still makes
me smile #
# When I think
about that day #
# It was you who made
my life complete #
# I never thought
you'd go away #
# No one's to blame, still
it hurts just the same #
# You're the song
that haunts my soul #
# That keeps me
up all night #
# because it's
still not right #
# And how I long to
make it whole #
# But you were meant to be
an unfinished symphony #
# Someday we'll be together,
a part of me believes #
# But for now all I have,
are the memories #
# You're the song
that haunts my soul #
#That keeps me
up all night #
# Because it's
still not right #
# And how I long
to make it whole #
# But you were
meant to be #
# An unfinished
symphony #
# You came from
out of nowhere #
# Or that's what it
seemed to me #
# If I'd've known,
you felt so strong #
# Maybe I wouldn't
be alone #
Hi I saw your sign
looking for a position.
# I know you're the
one I need #
# I never thought I'd
find the strength #
# To make it
through this #
# And if I saw
you now #
# Oh I'd tell
you how #
# How much I was
afraid to admit #
# So, don't tell
me this is it #
# Cause I have so
much more to give #
# Why won't you
come to me now #
# Now that I'm on
solid ground #
# No, don't say that we
don't have a chance #
# At the perfect
night we once had #
# If you care at all
don't leave me all alone #
# Oh baby, baby #
# Why does it feel
that time's gone by #
# So slow #
# I wanna figure out how
to turn it all around #
# Hell, I just
don't know #
# At last I'm finally
turning the corner #
# I want to move on, and
get on with my life #
# Want you back in my
arms, make you mine #
# Step out of the darkness
to get to the light #
# Yeah I'm so close #
# So, don't tell
me this is it #
# Cause I have so
much more to give #
# Why won't you
come to me now #
# Now that I'm on
solid ground #
# No, don't make me
think we have no chance #
# At the perfect
life we could have #
# If you care at all, don't
leave me the hell alone #
# Oh, wanting you is the
one true thing I know #
# If we meant anything at
all, please don't let us go #
# Oh baby, baby #
# Don't, just don't #
You got this Cody.
Come on, boy. Come on.
Yeah, that's
my boy.
Okay, I gotta go
to work now.
See you on
Tuesday, okay?
Okay, Uncle
Charlie.
Good job, buddy.
Alright, I'll see
you on Tuesday.
Okay.
Hey, Charlie.
It's okay to be
happy, you know.
Your brother would
want you to be happy.
I want you
to be happy.
It's just so hard.
Yes, yes it is.
Morning, Charlie.
What do you got
for me today?
The usual.
Bills. Bills. Bills.
Nothing important.
Thanks, Barney.
Yep.
Oh, if you, um, want some
of Mrs. McIntyre's
cobbler you go
right ahead.
It's way too
much for me.
Well, I shouldn't,
but I will.
Hey Charlie, I hope you
don't mind me saying so,
but, um, we all really
miss your brother.
He was a
good man.
Thanks Barney.
You both are.
I'll see you
around, man.
Yeah. Thanks for
the pie, Charlie.
Charlie Bishop.
What's wrong
with her now?
Nothing. Well, nothing
I can't handle.
I came to see how
you were doing.
Thought you might need a
date for the Jamboree tonight.
Oh, is that tonight?
Seems like it would be kind
of a waste of a trip for me.
Yeah, I'm actually
playing it tonight.
I came to
apologize.
No need to
apologize.
How was I supposed
to react, Charlie?
We had a beautiful
night together,
but the whole world just
doesn't fall into place.
No.
But uh, you
could try.
You can give
it a shot.
And even if it doesn't
work out, then,
at least you can
say you tried.
I wish you'd apply
that belief to yourself.
That belief.
Maybe in life you don't
get what you want.
Maybe there's
choices.
Choosing to
go to school.
Maybe that leaves
my mom alone.
Maybe that means
I make more money
so she can have
better meds.
Maybe that means that I
can take better care of her.
Maybe not.
Maybe she still gets sick,
and maybe she still dies.
That's a lot
of maybes.
One thing I do know, is that
the time I spent with her,
I don't regret.
Not for one
second.
I chose family.
I chose love.
I left Brad after you came
to visit me that night.
Good for you.
I've been doing
my own thing.
I've been playing in bars
and Mark's been helping me
with my music
on the side.
And I have you
to thank for that.
I saw the flyers.
I'm happy for you,
I really am.
I just don't understand
why you came here, Nancy.
I'm sorry.
I finished that song I
sang for you that night.
# All of the nights I
stood in that window #
# Waiting for you
to come home #
# Wondering why you
felt like you had to go #
# If I'd only known #
# The things you said
shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't #
# Ever come true,
came true #
# Here I am standing
in front of you #
# Don't know what to do,
don't wanna throw us away #
# Here I am believin'
lookin for a reason #
# And running out of
things to say #
# So much time and
now I'm findin #
# I was wrong
all along #
# So now here
I am gone #
Damn it, Nancy, why'd
you come back?
I came back, Charlie,
because you were right.
The connection we have is
something I can't even explain.
And that night in the
barn when I told you
I'd never lost anyone,
you said I was lucky.
I get that.
But the difference
here is,
is I still have a chance to
make it right with you...
Everything's changed.
What, how?
- It just has.
Charlie.
# I did my best tryin'
to save this #
# but it wasn't my
choice to make #
# I was the one, who was
willing to face it #
# Now I've had
all I can take #
# All of my crying,
trying, dyin... #
My brother's dead!
Okay?!
He's dead.
I know Charlie.
We all do.
We know how much
he meant to you.
How much he meant
to all of us.
Come to the
Jamboree tonight.
We want
you there.
I'm sorry, I can't.
Look, there's Barney,
and Megan and Chip.
And Mrs. McIntyre.
We are all hurting with you,
Charlie. You're not alone.
You said it to me
when I was afraid.
We're all
family here.
Rain or shine.
# I won't be past the
point of hurtin' #
# Or thinkin' that
it's worth it #
# I can't let go,
of holding on #
# Here I am standing
in front of you #
# Don't know
what to do #
# Don't wanna
throw us away #
# Here I am believin',
lookin' for a reason #
# But running out of
things to say #
# So much time and
now I'm findin #
# I was wrong
all along #
# Baby, I
was wrong #
# So now
here I am #
Hi.
It's good to
see you.
You, too.
I'm Charlie.
I'm Nancy.
It's a pleasure
to meet...
good, eight.
You were better.
Bull.
You could see down that field
better than anybody I knew.
It's a damn shame
you stopped playin.
It's a damn shame
I stopped growing.
Besides, someone had
to take care of mom.
Yeah.
I know that, uh, it
couldn't have been easy
dealin' with that
the way that you did.
Especially how she
was at the end.
Anyways, I...
came to say good-bye.
To the house?
I said good-bye to this
place a long time ago.
A house is
just a house.
Home are the
memories. Family.
You.
Come on.
Want a beer?
What, too early?
Or too late?
So, how's this old
Tow holding up?
I keep her
going.
She's probably on her
last legs though, huh?
I didn't know
if you'd come.
I'm glad
you did.
I'm gonna miss this
old farm too, you know.
Alot of
memories here.
Most of
them good.
How'd everything go with
the sale of the house?
We didn't get what
we were asking for,
but it should pay off all
of mom and dad's debts.
That's too bad, I was hoping
there'd be some left over
for you to go
back to school.
Study engineering like you
wanted to so badly growing up.
Some dreams are
meant to be dreams.
Like how some people are meant
to be mechanical engineers
while others are
just mechanics.
The world needs
both to keep going.
I'm fine
where I am.
Listen, maybe we
can help you out.
We got a bunch of money saved
up for little Cody's college...
Not a chance.
That kid deserves
the best.
You give
it to him.
Things happen for
a reason, right?
We do what
we have to.
Things don't always
go according to plan.
But, how we react
when things go bad,
that's what
determines our worth.
Dad taught
me that.
You really hate
him, don't you?
Charlie, our father
was a good man,
fifty percent
of the time.
Fifty's better
than nothing.
Fifty ain't enough.
Every chance in life you
get to do something good,
be something
better?
You take it.
Every chance.
# When dad left town,
leaving mom with the house #
# I wish I had stayed, to
help figure things out #
# But you stepped up, to
put her on her feet #
# That's just
what you do #
# When someone's
in need #
# It was you,
who was there #
# When I
couldn't be #
# Doing some good,
standing strong #
# Plowing through,
keeping on #
# We give all we got, even
though it ain't much #
# We show what we're
worth until it hurts #
# And fight for
what we love #
# Where doing right is
just understood #
# We're doing
some good #
# No rain in weeks,
wind was keepin up #
# Couldn't
grow nothing #
# With the ground
so tough #
# People shared
what they had #
# Cause that's
what we do #
# That handful of
seed we got #
# Got us through #
# Cause when the rains
finally came, we all knew #
# Ohhh #
# Doing some good,
standing strong #
# Plowing through,
keeping on #
# We give
all we got #
# Even though
it ain't much #
# We show what we're
worth, until it hurts #
# And fight for
what we love #
# Where doing right is
just understood #
# We're doing
some good #
You know I'm
shipping out today.
I need you to do
something for me.
I'll take care of them
until you get back.
But after you do
what you gotta do,
you come back to
us, you got that?
We still got all of mom's old
boxes of porcelain figurines
we gotta go through and I
ain't doing it by myself.
# Until we die, we
live our lives #
# Just like the
way we should #
# Doing some good,
standing strong #
# Plowing through,
keeping on #
# We give
all we got #
# Even though
it ain't much #
# We show what we're
worth, until it hurts #
# And fight for
what we love #
# Where doing right
is just understood #
# We're doing
some good #
Are you scared?
No.
It's another
day at work.
In the desert.
Where just about
everything and everyone
is kinda out
to kill ya.
Be safe.
Come on. One
more time.
Fourth and goal.
Kick the field goal, man.
Nope. Down by 6,
there's no time left.
Cody...
Hero or goat,
CB2, hero or goat?
Higher.
Really?
The ball is
snapped,
Bishop falls back.
Well, somebody
call a mechanic.
Nancy's piece
tuckers out again.
Ains, it's my car.
I can fix it.
Why don't you just get your
daddy to buy you a new one?
I'm not even gonna begin to
dignify that with an answer.
Besides, I
can fix it.
My daddy
taught me how.
Fine.
I'll just be here
watching the best years
of my life evaporate
before my eyes.
You're not the one who's going
to be late for her appointment.
I doubt your producer
is going to care
considering he's
your boyfriend.
Brad's not my
boyfriend.
Well, not yet,
anyways.
We're still in
that fragile phase.
No labels.
You're single, until you're
tagged in someone else's photo,
and then it's a little
complicated Nance.
The internet
doesn't lie to me.
It wouldn't.
We'll see how you
feel about that
when your sex
tape comes out.
As long as it's the
one with Xavier...
Oh you have
more than one?
Maybe.
Probably.
Oh come on Nance,
don't be prude.
We are liberated
women!
Feminism
in action.
Honestly, Ains, if you think
going all nature-channel
on tape is the pinnacle of
a feminist movement,
you should've
studied harder.
Well, at least tell me you
have a plan with Brad.
The whole "darling daddy's
girl" act doesn't work forever.
Brad is sweet.
But I have my album
to think about.
They still
make those?
You know
what I mean.
Brad says, I don't know, I
have potential or something.
Do you?
I hope so?
I'm just razzing
you, Nance.
All I'm saying is that, maybe
he thinks producing
and procuring go
hand in hand.
What does that
even mean?
Um.
It means
you're hot.
You're available.
You need him.
Well, the only thing Brad will
be "procuring" is my music.
I wish I had
your will power.
Let's give
this a try.
Start.
Yes!
- Okay.
Get me out of here, please,
and never bring me back.
Go.
Hi.
I'm here to see
Brad Hayes.
I have an
appointment.
Nancy!
Brad, hi.
Hi.
Um, hey, sorry, I had
some car trouble.
Again.
You remember
Ainsley?
Yes, Ainsley.
Always a...
pleasure.
So.
You ready to
make some magic?
Yeah, let's do it.
Alright.
Hey, Mark!
Hey, Nancy.
You ready to
rock my world?
I'll do my best.
That's all
we'll need.
Of course
you will.
I know talent
when I see it.
You know where
the headphones are.
Hey, Brad, I was
wondering if maybe
we could record
something I wrote today?
Um.
You wrote
something?
Yeah, well I wrote like
half of something.
It's not exactly
finished...
Let her give it
a shot, man.
You involved in
this thing, too?
I might have lent
a baby hand.
Well now I'm
just intrigued.
Go ahead.
Thanks.
Just breathe.
You got this.
# All of those nights I
stood in that window #
# Waiting for you
to come home #
# Wondering why, you
felt like you had to go #
# If I'd only known #
# The things you said
shouldn't, #
# couldn't, wouldn't, ever... #
Uh okay, Nancy,
thank you.
That was a
beautiful gesture.
But I just, I just don't know
if it was convincing enough.
You know the "shouldn't
wouldn't ever"
part, I just
wasn't feeling it.
Oh. Okay.
I mean you just, you gotta sing
with more emotion sweetheart.
Because you know if
you don't feel it,
we're not going
to feel it.
You know, your voice needs
to penetrate our skin,
make us feel it deep down
in our bones, you know?
I can try again.
Uh, you know,
not today, ok?
Let's just record what
we have planned and then
um, if we have any extra
time, we'll help you out
with your little song at
some point or another.
Okay?
Okay.
Great.
It's good, Nancy.
We'll get it there.
Okay. Why don't we
go ahead
and sing what you've
got in front of you there.
Kat? I'm home.
Oh, there's my
sexy husband.
How was
your day?
Ooh, it just got
better, hi.
Hi.
- Dad!
Hey squirt.
You're still here.
Yes. You haven't gotten
rid of me yet.
Just wondering why my husband
is taking off first thing
in the morning when he's
leaving his loving...
And very
understanding...
Very, very
understanding...
And sexy.
Did I mention sexy?
Leaving his wife and wonderful
son for six long months?
Can I go
outside?
Yeah, of course,
go on.
Don't wander off.
I won't.
Kat, I had to go, I had to say
good-bye to the old place.
I think it was
important to Charlie.
He misses you,
you know.
But you just keep on
breaking our hearts.
And I mean, who else is gonna
teach our son etiquette
and manners when
you're gone?
You will.
You worked on me.
See? This is going back in the
fridge, right where it belongs.
Yeah.
You going to
miss me?
You know I'm going to
miss you, Mr. Bishop.
Have I ever told
you how hot you look
in jeans and a
baseball cap?
Any chance you wanna
trade your uniform in
for cowboy
boots?
Kat...
- I know, I know.
I just, just don't understand
why it has to be you.
Hey. Are you, are
you crying?
No...
I don't, I just...
Baby, hey,
come here.
Dad, I made
you something.
What's this?
Just a card.
You made this?
This is, it's
really good.
Yeah, I don't know, I
just, I know it's dumb.
Ah, well, this, this is not
dumb, this is really good.
It's us.
It's our family.
We're one heart.
You bring it back
to us, you hear?
I will.
I love you.
And I love you.
You guys are my world, and
I'll be back before you know it.
Okay? You wanna
help me pack?
Yeah.
- Yeah?
Come here.
You coming?
Yeah.

I'm not even gonna
know anybody there.
We're branching.
And besides, you could
have stayed in the city
with your sexy
new sugar daddy.
Ew, don't call
him that.
Brad is not my
sugar daddy.
I wouldn't even let him pay for
my to-go salad the other day.
Oh, no. That doesn't
sound good.
Oh, is that
normal?
Oh, no.
No, Ains, a large mushroom
cloud of smoke coming
from the engine
is not normal.
I'm going to call Justin and
see if he can come get us.
Call a tow while
you're at it.
Maybe we should just leave it.
it's dead. Just let it be dead.
Ains, come on.
Fine.
Fine, I'm
calling a tow.
Cute.
Hey.
Hi.
This must be
your car.
I'm actually the one
that called you.
Oh, yeah, I figured.
Um, so what seems
to be the problem?
I, umm, I think
she overheated.
I've been having trouble
driving longer distances.
Shorter distances.
Pretty much like
all distances.
Mind if I
take a look?
Yeah, for sure.
I think it's just a small
leak in the rad I can't find.
Well, you
had a leak.
I knew it.
...and that leak
turned into a small
crack right
up the radiator.
No way. How could I
miss that?
It probably
just happened.
That's bad.
Yup.
Do you know a
lot about cars?
Yeah, my dad
taught me enough.
He said if I was to drive
I should know my fill.
Well, either your
dad's a smart man
or he's trying to run
me outta business.
You have a place
you can fix her up?
Yup, right
in town.
Okay. I'm gonna go break
the news to my friend.
Watch out for
flying cell phones.
Ains, it's bad.
We're gonna have to
tow it to the shop. I'm sorry.
That's ok. Justin's
a few minutes away
and then we can hashtag party.
Ok.
Hitch 'er up!
You got it.

Ainsley!
Your carriage
has arrived.
Thank God.
Well, it was nice
to meet you.
Oh, saved by the
party mobile.
Nance, let's go,
get in the car.
There's plenty of
booze in the back.
I guess that's
your escort.
I'll give you the address, so
you can pick it up tomorrow.
Yeah, okay.
Nance.
Let's get that
hot bod up here.
You don't want
to go, do you?
I do not.
Hey, guys, unfortunately
the shop has a strict rule
that the owner of the vehicle
must stay with the vehicle
until it's fixed, so I guess
that means that Miss Nancy's
going to have to
rent a room in town.
What are
you doing?
Getting you
outta going.
Unless you wanna go
and have what I'm sure
will be a wonderful time
with your friends.
By all means, don't let
me get in your way.
Nance, we have his plates,
he can't steal your car.
Can we go?
Ains, hold
on a sec.
Is there really a room
I can rent tonight?
I don't even
know your name.
It's yours if
you want it.
And I'm Charlie.
I'm Nancy.
I have a
boyfriend.
Yeah, good.
Ains, I think I'm just going
to stay with my car tonight,
I'm sorry. You guys go to the
cottage without me.
Ok, fine.
Don't do anything
I would do!
Let's go!
Okay. I'm just gonna
load in your car.
The motel is just
up the street.
Ok, thanks.
So, I talked to the motel lady,
said there's no rooms tonight.
Some Jamboree
or something?
Oh. Totally slipped
my mind.
Um, well you can always
stay at my place?
It's nothing
fancy but...
Uh, whoa,
cowboy.
You expecting me to
fall for that one?
Fall for what?
I can't
believe you.
What?
Is this some, like,
elaborate scheme
to get into my pants
or something?
Excuse me?
You heard me.
I ditched my friends...
You said that they
weren't your friends.
Because you told me you had
a place for me to stay and...
Ok first off, I've
never done anything
elaborate in my
entire life.
And aren't you making
a huge assumption?
My interest in you.
Are you saying that
you're not interested in me?
I'm not saying
that, either.
Well, then, would you like to
explain to me what I'm doing
here with no place to stay
besides your dumpy bachelor pad?
Listen.
I forgot about
the Jamboree.
Honest mistake.
I haven't been
there in a long time.
Right, this is my
convinced face.
Let me make something
perfectly clear.
My intentions towards you are
purely of the gentleman variety.
It's not just some scheme
to get into your pants.
Gentleman's a
dying term.
Not where I
come from.
And, honestly, your
convinced face looks
a lot like your
pissed off face.
Virtually no
difference.
Not staying
with you.
Ok, then I can also drive
you up to the cottage
where you can sleep on a futon
with a fondling frat boy.
Or you can hang here with me,
and I'll be a perfect gentleman.
There's that
word again.
Fondling frat boy?
Perfect gentleman?
Charlie, you still don't have
a place for me to stay, like...
You can stay at my
sister-in-law's.
She's got a pull-out
sofa in the den.
Okay.
No funny
business.
Oh, you got it.
Nothing fun.
No smiles, laughing,
just serious work.
And we better not go to
the Jamboree because
the possibility for funny
business is just way too high.
Okay. Maybe we can go
to the Jamboree.
Risky.
Very risky.
Just friends.
Of course.
Friends.
Hey, um, I'm
sorry I came off
a little full of
myself back there.
Okay.
A lot full of
myself back there.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry
about it.
It's not my first run
in with a prima-donna.
Ex-girlfriend?
Former
running back.
It's a football
position?
Yeah, not really
into sports.
So I guess that it wouldn't
impress you that I was QB1
and we were State Champs
two years running?
Maybe. How many home
runs did you hit?
Hello?
Hey Kat, it's me.
Oh, hey, Charlie.
Hey, Cody mentioned
he saw you before
he took off.
Yeah, he stopped
by the old house
and we threw a few
passes in the field.
Aww, too bad I wasn't there
to cheer you boys on, huh?
Best head cheerleader
this town's ever seen.
Go Ravens.
Um, so I was actually kinda
calling for some advice,
I um...
About a girl?
Wait, how'd
you know?
Well, I already showed you
how to patch your pants.
So uh, what else
could there be?
You know I haven't
really dated anyone
since mom got
sick, and um...
And you really
like this one?
Maybe.
I mean, I
think I could.
Well, is she going
to the Jamboree?
She actually didn't
really know about it,
and now she kinda needs
a place to stay...
Oh, well she can of
course she can stay here!
Ok great, thanks.
And, um, right now I
was actually kinda
thinking of taking
her to the Jamboree.
Kinda or gonna?
I wanna, I just
don't know if I should,
I mean, she has
a boyfriend.
Oh, I mean if she was
really into her boyfriend,
she wouldn't be giving
you the time of day.
Well that's what
I'm nervous about.
A Bishop-boy
nervous?
Wow.
She must be
some girl.
Good luck!
Trouble.
Change.
Thanks, Mrs. Stanley.
- Mm-hmm.
Excuse me, girls.
Hi, Charlie, are you going
to the Jamboree tonight?
Yeah, I'm thinking
about it.
Great, see
you there.
You got it!
Well, hej there,
Charlie.
Did you see a girl
come in here?
She's blonde, pretty.
Uh, not really
from around here.
Oh, yes,
she's right...
Was over there.
Huh, guess
she slipped out.
This book is distracting
to say the least.
Mr. S know you're
reading that?
Shh, It'll be our
little secret.
So about that girl, um, like I
said she's not from around here,
but I was kind of
thinking about
bringing her to the
Jamboree tonight.
How lovely!
So it's a date?
No, uh, not a date.
I mean, it's...
I just want to look
presentable. You know?
You need a
new shirt.
I need a
new shirt.
Alrighty,
let's see, um.
Nope, nope, nope.
Ah, here.
Try this one.
Oh, perfect.
Brings out the deep
green of your eyes.
Okay I'll take it.
I'll see you
around, okay?
Bye-bye.
Bye Charlie.
What do you think,
for the Jamboree?
Beautiful.
Okay.
I'll take it.
He's a good boy.
Don't hurt him.
I doubt I have
that kind of power.
Well, you're the first girl in
a long time to catch his eye.
Where are
we going?
This doesn't look
like a Jamboree.
It's my
old house.
The new people don't
move in 'til tomorrow.
Come on.
Trust me.
It'll be worth it.
Okay.
Wow.
My mom always thought
that this was
the closest place to
heaven on Earth.
My mom used to say that
caramel pecan ice cream
was the closest thing
to heaven on Earth.
Your mother sounds
like a smart lady.
Yours, too. Maybe they
should meet.
Oh.
I'm sorry Charlie,
I didn't know.
No, that's okay.
She got sick a couple years back
and... she didn't get better.
I can't even
imagine.
I've never lost
anybody before.
Then you're lucky.
Yeah.
She always
used to say
you don't know sweet
until you've had sour.
Something like that.
Anyway, that's just why I
stopped going to the Jamboree.
She loved them, and,
after she died,
it just wasn't
fun anymore.
Charlie, we don't
have to go tonight.
No, I do.
You got to keep on
keeping on, right?
I guess so.
So, the shop
was your dad's?
My brother is in
the military,
and I took over
after my dad left.
And you love it?
I'm good at it.
I don't love it.
I was always interested in
mechanical engineering but,
it's the never ending oil
changes and tire rotations
that I'm just not
crazy about.
So why didn't you
study engineering?
My parents didn't have enough
money to send us to college
and I was gonna apply
for scholarships,
but once my mom got
sick it just kinda, fizzled.
It's not too
late, Charlie.
I think it is.
Anyway, it's my brother who's
got the big ol' Purple Heart
you know, making
a difference.
Doing the right thing just
came naturally to him.
Truth is, I just don't feel
like my story's written yet.
My family's here.
Well, what's left.
I've got the shop
and, it's home.
So, what about you?
What do you want to
do with your life?
I'm sure you've got
it all planned out,
sophisticated city
girl and all?
I don't know.
- Oh, come on.
A girl like you?
You know what
you want.
Well, I want to be a
singer, singer/songwriter,
trying to
be one.
I've been writing songs
since I was, like, fourteen.
So, sing something.
Now?
Yeah, something
you wrote.
No, no I'm not going
to sing here...
Yeah, sing something.
Just a few bars.
I sing in front of,
like, my friends...
Hey, you want to be
a singer, right?
Yes.
So, sing.
Sing.
Okay. Fine.
Whoo!
Come on Nancy!
Charlie!
What? Come on.
I'm excited.
This is what your
fans are gonna be like.
My fans?
Oh yeah, when you're
like a big star
and you're playing
for big towns,
big crowds and
big lights.
Everything's big, huh?
Dreams've
gotta be big.
Coming from the guy who
gave up his dream of being
an engineer to work in the
shop the rest of his life,
get married quick,
raise a couple kids.
Well it's a different
kind of big.
Sing.
Okay.
# All of those nights I

That's, uh...
I know.
It needs some
work, I just...
I loved it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So, um, so you want
to get going?
Maybe just, a
couple of minutes.
Wow, it looks like the
entire town is here.
Entire town?
Try half the county.
This Jamboree is
world-renowned.
Okay, would you believe
country-renowned?
That's pretty good.
Okay.
Okay, what do
you want?
What do
they have?
Anything you
could imagine.
What'll it be Charlie?
Ladies first.
Okay, um could I get a
Peach and Honey Sangria.
Half the OJ,
double the lime.
And if you guys
have fresh peaches
instead of frozen peaches,
that would be great.
Thanks.
Peaches?
Two beers.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Cheers.
- Cheers.

I got an idea.
Wait a sec.
Where are
you going?
Hey, do you mind if I
borrow this for a second?
Thanks.
Hey everybody.
I got a special treat
for you guys tonight.
No, no, no.
She's a very talented young
lady who is just going to
melt your hearts, just
like she does mine.
So everyone, put your
hands together for Nancy!
Come on.
Come on.
What are
you doing?
Well, you said you
wanted to sing.
Yeah I do.
But I sing in front of, like,
my family and friends.
Oh, come on. Well, we're all
family and friends here.
I mean look, there's
Mary-Jane and there's Chip,
and Justin, and Megan and
Heather and, I can keep going.
Okay, okay.
Alright.
Come on guys.
So, we'll start slow, just
follow me in the chorus.
Uh, hi everybody,
I'm Nancy.
Okay, um.
When I point at you guys,
I want you to sing,
# Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh.
Can you guys
do that?
Okay let's
try it.
# Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh
Perfect.

# My momma raised me on
a hug no handshake #
Alright, alright.
Good night.
I love you.
So, I talked to my parents,
they were a little pissed
but I told them
I was better off
with one boy than
a cabin full of them.
They understood.
Did you talk to
your sister-in-law?
Yup. You're all good
to stay there.
Okay, good.
They don't have
any pets, do they?
You're not allergic,
are you?
Only to cats.
Charlie, I'm like,
really allergic to cats.
I guess we're staying
at my place, then.
What? No.
Come on, we're both adults
and I ain't gonna do nothin'.
Besides, I'm the one
who should be worried.
Excuse me?
A stranger, staying
at my place?
Where are
you going?
What, are you planning
on sleeping in the truck?
My apartment's
up here.
Oh. You live here?
What, is it not fancy
enough for you, city girl?
Want me to roll
out the red carpet?
Come on.
It's usually a lot
cleaner than this.
Oh I bet.
But picking up a couple
pieces of laundry
isn't going to really
make a difference.
I can't unsee what
I've already seen.
Perfect.
Okay, the bathroom's over
there, and this is the bed.
And where am I
going to sleep?
Or I could just make a
pallet out of all
of your laundry
on the floor.
Don't be silly.
You're going to
sleep on the bed
and I'll sleep in the
truck downstairs.
Charlie you don't
have to do that.
Perfect, gentleman.
Remember?
Okay. Good night.
Good night.
Okay let's tuck you
in boy, come on.
I love you.
Mommy.
- Yeah?
Do you miss dad?
From the second
he left, sweetie.
Why does he always
have to go?
Well,
sometimes people who live
in other places don't have
the same things or
opportunities that we have
and they can't help themselves,
so that means that daddy
has to travel really far
away to help them.
But I promise you, no matter
how far away he travels,
he's thinking about
you this very moment.
Good.
Cause I think
about him, too.
Good, now go
to sleep.
I love you.
Mommy.
- Yeah?
Can you leave
the light on?
Sure, sweetie.
Good night.
# I've spent so

Morning, Charlie.
Did you get locked
out of your house?
Nope.
I have a visitor.
A visitor?
Didn't go so
well, huh?
Thanks, Barney.
No problem.
You have a
good one okay?
You too, Charlie.
Better luck
next time!
I didn't know it was
going to cost so much.
I just can't...
I know,
Mrs. McIntyre.
Don't worry about it,
it's okay.
Just pay me
what you can.
MRS. McINTYRE:
Oh dear, Charlie.
Can you, can you
afford that?
For you
anything.
But you do owe me one
of those homemade
peach cobbler
pies, okay?
MRS. McINTYRE:
You got it!
Come here.
Give me
some sugar.
Okay.
Okay, you drive
home safe, now.
And give my
best to Harry.
Good morning.
Morning.
How'd ya sleep?
Good.
How about you?
Like a frog
in a bog.
I fixed your car
this morning.
Wow! Already?
Thanks.
You act like I
wasn't gonna fix it.
Like I was going
to keep you here
against your will
indefinitely.
Well, don't tell me it
didn't cross your mind.
Your chariot awaits.
Thanks.
How much do
I owe you?
Don't worry
about it.
Charlie.
It's okay.
Hey, do you wanna get some
breakfast before you run?
I shouldn't, I should
really get going.
Of course.
But last
night was...
Nice.
Yeah.
If you're ever
in the city.
Well I'm never
in the city.
But now I have
a reason to.
Great.
Good.
Okay.
It's just...
It was nice meeting
you, Charlie Bishop.
Bye.
Are you excited to
talk to your dad?
I'll bet not as
much as I am.
Ahh! There
he is!
Hi baby!
- Katherine?
Hey, how are you?
Hey, sweating like a
pig in a porkhouse.
How are you guys?
We're good,
we're good.
Hi, dad.
- Hey soldier.
God, I miss you.
- I miss you, too.
When you
coming home?
My birthday is in two weeks, so
I need you to make hamburgers,
'cause mom's
aren't as good.
Ouch, buddy!
What? It's the truth,
even dad knows it.
Soon, son.
But until I am, you're the
man of the house, okay?
And, you know,
with mom's help,
you can flip those
patties on the grill.
Okay, I'll try.
I love you
guys so much.
I'm thinking
about you
every second of every
hour of every day.
I love you
too, dad.
Bye.
So how is it
out there?
Are you
keeping safe?
You know me right?
No risks.
Right.

# What I'm made of

# On a far

# And the song tells
me I have arrived #
Hey, how's my
baby brother doing?
Staying out
of trouble?
Actually, I'm not
so sure about that.
He uh, he found
himself a girl.
No!
- Yes.
I haven't met her yet,
but from what I can tell,
he actually really
likes this one.
Well I'll be!
You talk to him, you tell him
that's the right kinda trouble.
I will.
And you also tell him if he
found the girl of his dreams,
to do what his big brother
did, and never let her go.
Hey, Cody we
gotta go.
Ah, ok, sorry Katherine,
I gotta, I gotta go.
Already?
Yeah, we're heading out
soon and I gotta get ready.
Okay, I love you.
I love you too.
Please be safe.
Hey buddy, say bye to
your dad, honey. Come on.
Bye dad.
We love
you, honey.
Ok, bye.

So, how do
I look?
Handsome.
Very handsome.
You look good,
Uncle Charlie.
Good?
I gotta look
better than good, pal.
So where are you
going tonight, anyways?
She texted me.
Some club downtown.
You're not
driving, right?
No, ma'am. Wouldn't
dream of it.
Good.
Better than good.
A million bucks.
You talking with
Cody tonight?
Yeah, eight
o'clock sharp.
Right on the dot.
Well, tell him
I say hi.
I will.
Hey, what's
wrong?
Oh, God, I
don't know.
I just, um, I haven't really
been sleeping very well,
and, um, I just keep getting
this silly feeling, that...
Hey.
He'll be fine.
He promised he'd
come back, remember?
Cody always keeps
his promises.
Right?
Right.
See you
around, man.
Hey, behave
yourself tonight.
I'm a Bishop.
How much trouble could
I possibly get into?
I'm not going
to answer that.
Probably for
the best.
Yeah, can I
get a beer?
Thanks.

Hello?
He didn't
call, Charlie.
What do you mean
he didn't call?
I was waiting by the
computer like I always do,
me and Cody Jr., and
he never came online!
Calm down Katherine.
You know, things don't
always run on
schedule, it's ok.
No, but, are
you sure?
You have nothing to be afraid
of, you understand me?
Oh, I'm sorry. You're on a date.
Ummm, go have fun and um,
I'm sure
he'll call.
He will.
Okay, I gotta
go now,
but I'll call you first thing
tomorrow morning, ok?
And text me when
you hear from him.
Yeah I will.
Okay, bye.
Bye.

Get lost.
No no no, man, we do it all
in-house and then we jack up
our overhead costs
by ten-fold.
You wouldn't believe
how well we're doing.
And some of the girls bringing
in their demos to my studio?
It's insane.
Hey, and get this, I get the
front desk to make sure
that they leave
a headshot.
Yeah, yeah, exactly!
What?
No no no, man,
that was last week,
well, yeah, she was a wild
ride, but her music sucked.
Yup, for sure!
Hey, I gotta go, I'm surprising
the regular tonight.
Yeah, alright later.
Wild ride?
The regular?
If my mom ever heard
me talk like that,
she'd wash my mouth
out with a bar of soap.
Well, I guess it's a good thing
that your mom's not here.
You know, I think it's just
kinda sad that talent has to
take a backseat to mandatory
prostitution at your studio.
What you're doing, it
doesn't take a saint
to know that it
ain't right.
Listen, kid, there
is no right.
There's no
wrong anymore.
There's only what you want,
and what you're willing to do
to get what
you want.
Oh, and uh, you shouldn't listen
to other people's conversations.
And you shouldn't
talk so loud.
Nancy!
Charlie!
You came.
You remember
my friend Ains?
Yeah, of course.
Hi.
Hey.
Uh, sit down!
Sit down.
Hey, sweetie!
Brad! What are you
doing here?
Surprise.
I thought that you said
that you were going
to that gig in the
Arts District?
Oh, we did. But it was
so awful we left.
Oh, okay.
Umm, cool!
This is my
friend Charlie,
Charlie, this is my boyfriend
Brad, and this is Mark.
Of course.
Great to meet
you, man.
Nice to meet you.
And uh, how exactly do we,
uh, know Charlie again?
Oh, Charlie is the
guy who fixed my car
and kind of got me
around last week.
Yeah, so sweet.
Wow.
You came all this way
just to see the pretty girl
whose car you
fixed, huh?
That is sweet.
Sounds like your mother raised
you to be a perfect gentleman.
I guess they just don't make
them like they used to.
We're a
dying breed.
I was talking
about her car.
And what is it that
you two do again?
Well we're in
the music biz.
Uh, I'm a producer, and,
Mark works for me.
Yeah, Brad is the producer I was
telling you I was working with.
Oh is that so? And
how did you two meet?
It's actually kind
of a funny story.
I was looking at this
music magazine blog,
and I saw that this new
local label was opening up.
They don't normally take
unsolicited materials
but I thought,
why not?
Wait, let
me guess.
When you got to the front
desk, they asked you to leave
a headshot with your demo,
and when you did,
Brad's the one who called
you to bring you in.
How did you
know that?
Just a hunch.
You know what,
I should go. I'm imposing.
No, Charlie.
Stay.
Yes Charlie, stay.
I'm sorry.
He's probably out
of his element,
you know, used to handling
farm animals or something
a little less
complicated.
Look, Nancy, your boyfriend,
he's a real piece of work.
I had the pleasure of
overhearing his conversation
in the bathroom telling his
buddy all about how he
"manages the
studio."
I'm not even going to
tell you half the things
that he said
but I...
You just
deserve better.
Okay?
You deserve
better than him.
Nancy, is this
kid for real?
Brad, hold on.
Charlie, I don't know what
you think that you heard,
but Mark and Brad have
been really helpful
to me at the label.
It's a good
company.
Dude, what do you know
about business anyway?
You're a car
mechanic.
I own my
own shop.
Well, maybe you should
run back to it,
because you're clearly
upsetting my girlfriend.
Don't you mean
"the regular"?
I mean, that is how you
referred to her on the phone.
What's he
talking about?
Don't listen to him, he's
completely misconstrued
my entire
conversation.
Nancy, can I please
talk to you in private?
No, you
may not.
Nancy?
Guess his bumpkin
upbringing
failed to teach him
a lick of manners.
Excuse me?
I said your country
bumpkin mother
should've taught
you some manners.
Stand up.
What?
I said stand up.
Is he for real?
I'm out of here.
Charlie!
Please?
Fine, I'll
handle it.
Hey Charlie!
Hold up, man.
We got off on the
wrong foot, okay?
Come on back, I'll
buy you a drink.
Okay?
See?
No harm.
No foul.
Besides, bro-code.
We can share.
Brad!
Brad!
Hey, I'm out of here,
you're not my brother.
Charlie, Charlie!
Charlie!
Did she seriously
just leave with him?
Charlie, what the
hell was that?!
Your boyfriend's a liar and
you deserve so much better.
I mean, how can
you not see it?
It's like your eternal
optimism overshadows
your really bad
judgment of character.
What are you
talking about?
He's seeing other
people, Nancy!
I heard him
on the phone.
He called another
girl a wild ride.
I know he sees other
people, Charlie.
But if I was really
that in love with him,
do you think I ever would've
kissed you in the first place?
So then why are
you still with him?!
Brad is helping me make
my first album, Charlie!
Do you know how lucky I
was to have met him?!
This could be
everything!
He's good
for me.
Yeah, but he's
not good to you.
His label is one of the fastest
growing in the entire city,
he can really
help me.
You don't need
his help.
You are so
talented, Nancy!
You can start small, work
your way up in the business.
You can perform here,
perform anywhere!
People will recognize
how talented you are
and you will
make it.
Just without him.
It's not that
simple, Charlie.
You're thinking
about it one way.
Maybe where you're
from things are just...
What?
Small.
"Dreams have got to
be big", Charlie.
Your words,
not mine.
Yeah, but not when it
compromises who you are,
and what you
believe in.
You don't have to
sell yourself.
At least I'm fighting
for what I believe in!
That's more than I
can say for you.
Besides, I haven't slept with
him, I'm not compromising...
That's just details.
Yeah, that's what
life is, Charlie. Details.
Not the broad strokes
you think it is.
Brad and I, we have a good
time when we go out together.
And I like working in the
studio with him and Mark.
They believe
in me.
If he believes
in you,
then he'll make your
album regardless.
I can't risk that.
You're better
than that.
I'm better than this.
Whatever this is.
# What's going
through your head #
# All the things
I said #
# Don't seem to get
through to you #
# You read your
magazines #
# Thinking up
these scenes #
# Where someone comes
and rescues you #
I never asked for
that, Charlie.
# Not sure I can compete
with every fantasy #
# That seems to take
control of you #
That's not fair.
That's not fair for
you to say that.
# What happened to the real
sparks we used to feel #
# When I had a hold of you
I'm giving all that I can #
# You're chasing
dreams I can't follow #
# You're holding
love in your hands #
# Don't throw away
sweet tomorrow #
# Look into
my eyes #
# Tell me what
you find #
# Can't you see
what's happening #
Charlie.
# I'm slowly losing faith in
what I'm trying to save #
# Can't you see you
might lose everything #
This is about my
future, Charlie.
# I'm giving all
that I can #
# You're chasing
dreams I can't follow #
# You're holding
love in your hands #
# Don't throw away
sweet tomorrow #
# Ohh, nooo #
# Don't throw away
sweet tomorrow #
# Come back to
what you were #
# Come back into
my world #
# Where love ain't
make believe #
# And you
will see #
# Reality is all
you need #
A man like me.
I'm sorry, Charlie.
I think you
should go home.
Nancy, you
don't need him.
Come with me.
You'll have to
work harder, yes.
But I promise I'll be there
every step of the way.
How do you know
that, Charlie?
We had one
night together!
You don't
even know me.
I do know you.
Okay, maybe not
everything,
but I know what kind
of person you are.
You can't deny
this connection.
Yes, I can.
# I'm giving all
that I can #
# You're chasing
dreams I can't follow #
# You're holding
love in your hands #
# Don't throw away
sweet tomorrow #
Oh, hey, Mark.
Um, have you
seen Brad?
Brad had to run
back to the studio.
And Ains went
with him?
That guy who came
in here earlier.
Charlie?
He seems... pretty
crazy about you.
You seem... kinda
crazy about him too.
You know how
things are with Brad.
I don't really want to
jeopardize anything.
Nancy, your music is
only gonna be as good
as your life
experience.
You're a good writer, but
if you think that Brad
is ever going to inspire you to
write anything truly great,
you'd probably
be wrong.
The best music I ever made
came from my relationships.
The real ones.
The gigs, the
excitement?
It comes
and goes.
Success soars
and falls.
The music is what stays
with us, besides love.
Good night, Mark.
Thanks.
Ah, you taste sweet.
Like what?
Is that
passionfruit?
Mm-hmm.
Sexy.
What do you say, baby, hmm? You
and me against the world?
I say, yes.
I'm sorry, we're gonna
need to do that one again.
That last one reeked of
cliches and unoriginality.
I mean, if you
guys don't feel it,
how am I supposed
to feel it?
Try some real
emotion this time.
It's supposed to penetrate the
skin, not make the skin crawl.
Nance, it's not
what it looks like.
It is what it looks
like, but I'm drunk,
I... I don't even care
about him.
I'm the one who doesn't
care about you.
Look, Nance...
I can't hear you.
Nancy! Nancy, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
Don't touch me.
Just let me
explain.
There's nothing
to explain.
I was angry, okay?
I made a mistake.
But don't go
throw this all away.
Just, don't.
Hey buddy.
Mom.
Stay right
here, buddy.
Bishop Towing.
You said he
would be fine.
You said he
would be fine!
Kat, it's going
to be okay.
It's not okay.
It's not.
Okay.
Let's put this
arm in first.
Why?
Why do I have to
wear this, mom?
Because we have to look
good for daddy, honey.
Why? He's not
coming home.
Your daddy is
home, baby.
# Half awake today #
# Can't help but
feel alone #
# I swear I hear
you calling me #
# But realize I'm
on my own #
# Half asleep
at night #
# Across an
empty bed #
# I reach out and
touch the pillow #
# Where you used to
lay your head #
# No one's to blame, still
it hurts just the same #
# You're the song
that haunts my soul #
# That keeps me
up all night #
# Because it's
still not right #
# And how I long
to make it whole #
# But you were meant to be
an unfinished symphony #
# Walking on
the pier #
# Getting caught
out in the rain #
# You just laughed
and took my hand #
# As I kissed your
lips again #
# It still makes
me smile #
# When I think
about that day #
# It was you who made
my life complete #
# I never thought
you'd go away #
# No one's to blame, still
it hurts just the same #
# You're the song
that haunts my soul #
# That keeps me
up all night #

still not right #
# And how I long to
make it whole #
# But you were meant to be
an unfinished symphony #
# Someday we'll be together,
a part of me believes #
# But for now all I have,
are the memories #
# You're the song
that haunts my soul #
#That keeps me
up all night #
# Because it's
still not right #
# And how I long
to make it whole #
# But you were
meant to be #
# An unfinished
symphony #
# You came from
out of nowhere #
# Or that's what it
seemed to me #
# If I'd've known,
you felt so strong #
# Maybe I wouldn't
be alone #
Hi I saw your sign
looking for a position.
# I know you're the
one I need #
# I never thought I'd
find the strength #
# To make it
through this #
# And if I saw
you now #
# Oh I'd tell
you how #
# How much I was
afraid to admit #
# So, don't tell
me this is it #
# Cause I have so
much more to give #
# Why won't you
come to me now #
# Now that I'm on

night we once had #

to turn it all around #
# Hell, I just
don't know #

You got this Cody.
Come on, boy. Come on.
Yeah, that's
my boy.
Okay, I gotta go
to work now.
See you on
Tuesday, okay?
Okay, Uncle
Charlie.
Good job, buddy.
Alright, I'll see
you on Tuesday.
Okay.
Hey, Charlie.
It's okay to be
happy, you know.
Your brother would
want you to be happy.
I want you
to be happy.
It's just so hard.
Yes, yes it is.
Morning, Charlie.
What do you got
for me today?
The usual.
Bills. Bills. Bills.
Nothing important.
Thanks, Barney.
Yep.
Oh, if you, um, want some
of Mrs. McIntyre's
cobbler you go
right ahead.
It's way too
much for me.
Well, I shouldn't,
but I will.
Hey Charlie, I hope you
don't mind me saying so,
but, um, we all really
miss your brother.
He was a
good man.
Thanks Barney.
You both are.
I'll see you
around, man.
Yeah. Thanks for
the pie, Charlie.
Charlie Bishop.
What's wrong
with her now?
Nothing. Well, nothing
I can't handle.
I came to see how
you were doing.
Thought you might need a
date for the Jamboree tonight.
Oh, is that tonight?
Seems like it would be kind
of a waste of a trip for me.
Yeah, I'm actually
playing it tonight.
I came to
apologize.
No need to
apologize.
How was I supposed
to react, Charlie?
We had a beautiful
night together,
but the whole world just
doesn't fall into place.
No.
But uh, you
could try.
You can give
it a shot.
And even if it doesn't
work out, then,
at least you can
say you tried.
I wish you'd apply
that belief to yourself.
That belief.
Maybe in life you don't
get what you want.
Maybe there's
choices.
Choosing to
go to school.
Maybe that leaves
my mom alone.
Maybe that means
I make more money
so she can have
better meds.
Maybe that means that I
can take better care of her.
Maybe not.
Maybe she still gets sick,
and maybe she still dies.
That's a lot
of maybes.
One thing I do know, is that
the time I spent with her,
I don't regret.
Not for one
second.
I chose family.
I chose love.
I left Brad after you came
to visit me that night.
Good for you.
I've been doing
my own thing.
I've been playing in bars
and Mark's been helping me
with my music
on the side.
And I have you
to thank for that.
I saw the flyers.
I'm happy for you,
I really am.
I just don't understand
why you came here, Nancy.
I'm sorry.
I finished that song I
sang for you that night.
# All of the nights I
stood in that window #
# Waiting for you
to come home #
# Wondering why you
felt like you had to go #
# If I'd only known #
# The things you said
shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't #
# Ever come true,
came true #
# Here I am standing
in front of you #
# Don't know what to do,
don't wanna throw us away #
# Here I am believin'
lookin for a reason #
# And running out of
things to say #
# So much time and
now I'm findin #
# I was wrong
all along #
# So now here
I am gone #
Damn it, Nancy, why'd
you come back?
I came back, Charlie,
because you were right.
The connection we have is
something I can't even explain.
And that night in the
barn when I told you
I'd never lost anyone,
you said I was lucky.
I get that.
But the difference
here is,
is I still have a chance to
make it right with you...
Everything's changed.
What, how?
- It just has.
Charlie.
# I did my best tryin'
to save this #
# but it wasn't my
choice to make #
# I was the one, who was
willing to face it #
# Now I've had
all I can take #
# All of my crying,
trying, dyin... #
My brother's dead!
Okay?!
He's dead.
I know Charlie.
We all do.
We know how much
he meant to you.
How much he meant
to all of us.
Come to the
Jamboree tonight.
We want
you there.
I'm sorry, I can't.
Look, there's Barney,
and Megan and Chip.
And Mrs. McIntyre.
We are all hurting with you,
Charlie. You're not alone.
You said it to me
when I was afraid.
We're all
family here.
Rain or shine.
# I won't be past the
point of hurtin' #
# Or thinkin' that
it's worth it #
# I can't let go,
of holding on #
# Here I am standing
in front of you #
# Don't know
what to do #
# Don't wanna
throw us away #
# Here I am believin',
lookin' for a reason #
# But running out of
things to say #
# So much time and
now I'm findin #
# I was wrong
all along #
# Baby, I
was wrong #
# So now
here I am #
Hi.
It's good to
see you.
You, too.
I'm Charlie.
I'm Nancy.
It's a pleasure
to meet...
