When l was a little boy, my mom used
to playA Portrait of Merle Haggard

every night before bed.

Her favourite song was Silver Wings,

so l figured l'd surprise
her and learn how to play it.

l played that song day and
night until my fingers bled.

Finally, when l sat her down to play it,

she waited until l was
finished and then she said,

"Merle sings it better,
but keep trying."

So l guess l am.

Put it out, Beau.

Yes, ma'am.

Peterson went through withdrawal all over
the dogwood deck. lt's got your name on it.

And Beau?

l don't want to see you
anywhere near Mrs Canter's room.

-The what? The what was wet?
-Go with it.

-What did you get wet?
-The stage was wet.

Oh, the stage was wet, right.

l'm looking.

-That's when it what?
-You keep messing me up here.

l'm sorry.

-You know, here. You just...
-You were what?

-You sing it.
-What were you going to say?

No, that was good. Why
are you giving this to me?

-Go on, please.
-What?

l don't know. Make it yours.

l like that song. What
do you say when you start?

"'l remember that day."'

"'l remember that day.
When..."' When what?

"'When we first met."'

-How do you do that so fast?
-l didn't do anything.

-You were there. You had it already.
-Give me that.

"'Timing is everything."'

-Try that one.
-l like that. That one was good.

Kell.

What's going on?

This is Beau. Do you remember
him? He's one of my sponsors.

We were just messing around.

Of course.

Hey, Beau. How are you doing?

-Hey, beautiful.
-Hi.

Beau, would you mind getting a
couple bellhops for Kelly's bags?

-You got bellhops here, don't you?
-No, sir.

Well, then, do you mind?
Because the car's out front.

-They're letting me out early.
-Well, you still got another month left.

-They think l'm better.
-Better than what?

l was going to tell you. l was...

l was just thinking, "'How
am l going to tell you?"'

Beau!

Are you Kelly's doctor? Because the last l
checked, Dr Stevens was taking care of her.

No, he's just being
protective. Aren't you, Beau?

He's just being a good sponsor.

Why don't you let me be the
protective one, all right, hoss?

Now, if you wouldn't mind,

l'd like to get some help with these
bags so we can get Kelly out of here.

She doesn't travel light,
in case you hadn't noticed.

The first two venues are small.

We'll ease you back into it.

And the third?

We're going to go back
to Dallas, televised.

-What?
-Yeah, we're going to prove them all wrong.

Look, Kell, you're the toughest girl l
know, so if you tell me you're not ready,

well, then, l'll take
that at face value.

l want Beau to open for me.

Who's Beau?

He's that kid you just met.
He's a singer. He's a good one.

Well, why don't we get the gardener
to open for you? l'm sure he's good.

lt's important to me.

Besides, l've already
got an opener for you.

Chiles Stanton.

The beauty queen l
was telling you about.

She's playing tonight at The Stage,
and l'm going to go check her out.

l'm sure you are. You can check
out Beau while you're there.

All right. Well, how
about this? Look, l'll...

Hold on. l'll go check out Chiles
tonight and if it doesn't work out,

and if she doesn't blow me away,
then we'll look at other options.

Don't placate me.

-l wouldn't dare.
-Yeah.

So, where did you find the bird?

Under a tree down there.

l waited 20 minutes for
her mama to come back,

and when she didn't, l swooped her up.

-l've been taking care of her ever since.
-lt looks like a baby quail.

l've been calling her Loretta Lynn.

What if l took her
forjust a little while?

l'll take care of her.

You got a really big tour
that you need to get ready for.

Okay.

Hey.

-l got a good idea.
-What?

Let's get out of here.

Let's go.

Nashville's Kelly Canter was released,
once again, from rehab this morning.

You'll remember, the country
music star was arrested last year

for drunk and disorderly conduct
while performing at a show in Dallas.

She was five months
pregnant at the time.

Hi, guys. Hey. Hey, how are you doing?

Be careful.

We can't wait to get on the road again.
We can't wait for the tour to start.

Kelly's feeling better than ever.
She's looking better than ever.

And it's going to be fun. We can't wait
to get in front of the fans again, okay?

Thanks, guys. Take care.

James, what about the divorce rumours?

Hey, Beau.

What are you doing here?

l couldn't just wait by the
phone for you to call, could l?

l'm here to hear you sing. And
to support Chiles, of course.

Chiles? What does she
got to do with tonight?

-You be nice, Beau. Find me after the show.
-All right.

Hi, Beau.

You better be here to wish me luck.

l'm on the board. l'm
playing three songs tonight.

-Says who?
-Says James Canter, that's who.

-Bullshit.
-Bull-true.

l happen to be in consideration as the
new opening act for Miss Kelly Canter.

James, my new manager, booked
me this gig as a rehearsal.

Not that l need it. l've been ready for
this moment since l was four years old.

The last time l saw you sing,
you froze up like an ice cube.

That was seven and a half months
ago. And it was just that one time.

l'm not playing county fairs
any more. l'm much more seasoned.

You don't have any songs. You
can't even play the guitar.

l've been writing songs. l got a
whole bunch of them right over there.

Little Heartbreaker, Summer
Girl, Rinky Dinky Town.

These aren't songs, these
are rides at Disneyland.

Clint, tell me Garth Brooks
here isn't opening up for me.

She's not. She's closing. l can't
do anything about it, either.

-lt's your place. You can tell her no.
-Not to James Canter, l can't.

So you're going to let this
prom queen get up on stage?

l mean, for Christ's sake,
Patsy Cline sang here.

l don't care if she
sings Yankee Doodle Dandy,

she's still going to play.

l'm not cutting your set, Beau.
You've got the same three songs.

Don't worry, Beau.

l have no intention of
stealing your invisible career.

You see,

l want one.

-Hey, you did make it. Good to see you.
-How are you doing?

We got a packed house tonight,

l got your favourite spot on the rail right
straight through here, and Chiles is up next.

Yeah, what do you hear about her?

Well, l saw her last
Tuesday at Robert's.

And to tell you the truth, l don't know
which was bigger, the hair or the dress.

Hey, she could be a diamond
in the rough, you know?

Well, l ain't got much time for rough.

Yeah, l hear that.

-Kelly's not coming?
-No, no, she needs her beauty rest.

Well, l guess l can tell the bartender,
"'Put the vodka back on the shelves."'

Enjoy the show.

Thank you very much.

What are you waiting for? You're
up, Kilgore. Your band's there.

l was Miss Dallas, dummy.

Dallas, Kilgore, what's the
difference? Go get that career.

-How do l look?
-Like a country Barbie.

Thank you.

All right.

This is it. This is my night.

Everything is about to change.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Sorry.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Here we go.

Hi, y'all. How are you doing tonight?

l'm Chiles Stanton.

And what a beautiful crowd you are!

l have a few new songs for you
tonight, and l hope you like them.

Watch this.

l'm sorry.

Oh, my.

l'm so sorry.

One more time.

Do you think somebody could turn down the
lights a little bit? lt's awful bright in here.

Okay.

Oh, shit.

One more time.

l'm sorry. l'm so sorry.

Chiles Stanton, everybody!

No, that was fun up there, man.

Actually, we're going to work on that.

You two sounded good in there.

Yeah, thanks.

-Do you ever think about doing a duet?
-No.

Her good looks and your song writing...

The girl's more scared
than a church mouse, James.

Yeah, but once you get
her wound up, boy...

We're no duo, man. l don't even know
her. l was just sleeping with her friend.

Why don't you go on
the road with us, Beau,

get the hell out of these honky tonks,

step up to the big leagues?

l think your bird is hungry.

Hey.

This could be a hell of an
opportunity for you, you know that?

You know, l don't know if
this means anything to you,

but l actually enjoy playing music,

and it don't matter who it's for.
All the rest is just bullshit.

Bullshit.

Why don't you try to play some of that
bullshit in a stadium full of people?

Then see if you got anything, hoss.

l like these people just fine.

l figured you'd say that.

Beau, do you care about Kelly?

What are you getting at?

Look, l know her legs are still shaky.

l ain't stupid.

But l also know this is the only
opportunity she has to turn herself around,

maybe save her life. And l
thought, maybe since you were so

concerned about Kelly and
that you were her sponsor,

that maybe you would come out on the
road and help me take care of her.

Maybe not.

Do you think Chiles Stanton is pretty?

-Now, come on.
-No, l'm serious.

l do. That's why l'm asking.

l think she looks like
a young Linda Ronstadt.

Yeah, well, she's a talented kid.

Do you think l'm talented?

-What do you think?
-How talented do you think l am?

Very talented.

-On a scale of one to 1 0.
-A 1 0.

-1 0's the lowest.
-All right, a one, then. Absolutely a one.

-How about zero?
-Oh, you're definitely a zero.

For sure.

James?

l'm sorry about Dallas.

So am l.

We should talk about it sometime.

James?

l just got one of those
Brazilian bikini waxes.

l just took an Ambien.

l'll see you in eight hours.

The first time l heard you sing,

l knew. l wasn't much of a church man,

but l thought that must
be what angels sound like.

l thought l'd died and gone to heaven.

-l love that story.
-That's good. Because it's true.

-Kelly, how was rehab?
-Well, good, l hope.

-ls it too soon for a comeback tour?
-Are the divorce rumours true?

We couldn't be happier. We've
got three sold-out shows.

We've got the hottest two acts in country
music to come around in a long time.

And Texas has never
seen anything this big.

Kelly, how do you feel
about returning to Dallas?

l feel okay. l think
it's going to be good.

-Thanks.
-Thank you, Kelly.

-Anything else to say to your fans?
-l love y'all. Thanks for coming out.

-Have you forgiven Kelly for Dallas?
-She looks great, doesn't she, guys?

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Hi, James. Hi, Miss Kelly.

Would you mind signing
this for me, please?

-Sure.
-Thank you so much.

lf you have any advice for a young artist
such as myself, l'd love to hear it.

-l have some advice.
-And James has been so helpful.

l won't sell it on eBay or anything.

l've just been a fan of yours
since l was a little girl.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

This is amazing, James. lt's so beautiful,
l don't even want to pee in the toilet.

You didn't think this
was for you, did you?

No! No.

God, no.

Okay. See you in Houston.

What, you don't like your new band?

l didn't need your help back at The
Stage. l would've done just fine.

l know. l know.

The only reason we're doing a duet in
Houston is because James liked the song.

Yeah, l'm sure that's true.

So, l was looking at the set
list for Dallas and l thought,

what if l close the
show with Coming Home?

-Well, we don't have Coming Home, Kell.
-Yeah, but, l mean, Bob's going give it to us.

We've given the guy enough
number-one singles. Thank you.

Well, let's get through Houston
first and we'll see, okay? Thank you.

l love Coming Home. l mean, l think
it should be my next single, don't you?

Well, what l love is that Houston sold
out in 1 5 minutes. That's what l love.

Did l tell you that?

Well, JJ, he thinks it's a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity, but l don't see it that way, Kelly.

l think that we got
a lot of things that...

Kell? Hey!

Do you remember when we were like that?

Did you hear anything l said?

l think l weighed about
60 pounds soaking wet,

and l had that big old gap
in my teeth and knock-knees.

You were the first boy who
ever told me l was beautiful.

l remember your meat loaf. Do
you remember the first bite?

Do you remember what was in
the first bite that l took?

l was 20 years old, James. l
was trying to be a good wife.

Damn.

Nobody told me, "'First you cook the dinner
and then you put on the Lee Press-on Nails."'

l loved you so much, l think
l would've eaten it anyway.

Do you ever wonder what would have
happened if we had stayed in Bristol?

Yeah. l'd be selling insurance,
you'd be singing in the church choir,

and we'd be miserable.

Kelly, you belong on stage, singing
in front of thousands of people.

You're probably right.

l know l'm right.

Up or down?

l want it down and full. Like really...
Do you remember how it was in Little Rock?

-How could l forget?
-Well, goddamn.

Hey.

You like?

Man, you look like you're
going to kick some ass.

Yeah!

That's what l told them. l
said l want to look strong.

You look strong as hell.

Hey, guys, can l talk to
Beau alone for a minute?

Okay, girls, let's clear the room.

-Just a second, okay?
-No problem.

What are you doing?

l want you to make me a promise.

Okay.

Don't sleep with anybody
else on this tour.

l'm serious.

Yeah, well, how's that fair?
You sleep with James every night.

l don't sleep with him like that.

We don't even kiss with
our mouths open any more.

All right.

You're mine.

l'm yours.

Good.

Okay, everybody, come on back in. l
just had to give Beau a little pep talk.

Okay, everybody, we got
1 0 minutes till showtime.

How many of those pills are
you supposed to be taking?

l take whatever's in the square.

That's an awfully big square.

l've got some awfully big problems.

Somebody get my husband. l want
him to know how lucky he is.

-James, Kelly's looking for you.
-l'll be there in a minute.

-The blue dress. She needs to look her age.
-All right. Do you want her hair down?

Hey, how many of those pills
is she supposed to be taking?

l want her hair up
because Kelly's is down.

And l want her to wear
those suede Manolos

because l don't like her boots
she's been wearing. Okay? Thanks.

Do you like my makeup?

l did it to make my eyes pop.

Well, you look beautiful.

James, Kelly took a lot
of those pills, all right,

and l don't know about it. l thought
maybe you'd want to talk to her.

God damn it, Beau.

l know exactly how many
pills Kelly took, all right?

Because l put them in
the pill box myself.

Now, the only problem with those pills
is if she's mixing them with alcohol.

That's yourjob.

Thank you.

Oh, my gosh. That's from
Emmylou. That is so nice.

Hey. Did you find him?

Yeah, he's dealing with
a wardrobe emergency.

He said he'll be in when he's done.

He had a wardrobe emergency?

lt's an exciting night tonight.

Y'all are the first to hear one of the
best country lineups in the state of Texas.

And to kick it off, we have
a newcomer, Mr Beau Hutton.

Thank you.

Short and sweet is what
l'm going to make this.

lt's called Chances Are.

Are you going to open
up any more of these

or do you want me to
write out a list for you?

Yeah. What's that red one?

lt says "'H. Roberts."'

lt's probably that damn cookie place,
heard about the diet l started yesterday.

Man, they get you every damn time.

Who gave this to you?

-Did you give this to her?
-lt was with all the other packages. l'm sorry.

Who told you to give
this to her? Get security.

Right away.

l can't get any air.

Thank you.

How about it, ladies and gentlemen?

How about another round of
applause for Mr Beau Hutton?

We need security down in
dressing room A right away.

-What's going on?
-You can't go in there, Beau.

Nobody's allowed...
Nobody's allowed inside, man.

Hey, Kell. Hey. lt's Beau. Open up.

-l need James.
-You're out of your league on this one, boy.

He's with her, isn't he?

Who gives a shit about any of that?
Just open the door. Come on, let's talk.

l do! l love him, you
idiot! Get out of here!

Get out of here, Beau. Let
me deal with this shit. Go!

l'd like y'all to give a nice,
big, warm Houston round of applause

-for the former Miss Dallas herself...
-Baby, you got to come out of there.

...the lovely and
talented Chiles Stanton.

Those people think l
killed our baby, James.

Why would anybody think that?

Every time l think you're close to forgetting,
something happens that brings it back up.

Well, l'm not going to forget about Dallas.
lt's not something you just forget about.

What if we tried again?

l bet you l could still get pregnant.

Kelly, listen to me.

You got a lot of people
waiting out there.

Let's just get this over with and
then we can go back to the hotel, okay?

All right? Then we'll get some fish
and chips. We'll get in the hot tub.

lt'll be just me and you. You don't
want to leave your fans waiting.

-So, let's just get out of here...
-lt's never been just me and you.

-Let's just get out of here, baby.
-No.

-Get out of the closet, Kelly.
-Don't!

-Get out of the closet.
-Don't!

Oh, my God. l'm so sorry.

James. James.

l'm so sorry. l'm so sorry.

l didn't mean to do that.

l'll do whatever you want, okay? Okay?

All right.

Will you remember me like l was?

Yeah.

Go on stage, give them hell.

Will you give me a kiss?

Careful of the step.

That's good. l got it. l got it.

The first song, Country Strong, right?

Yes.

Are you all right?

Now, ladies and gentlemen,

the star of tonight's show,
six-time Grammy winner,

the belle of Bristol,
our very own Kelly Canter.

Hold on one second.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Sorry. l just...

Thank you so much.

You just cannot understand what
this means to me. Thank you.

We love you!

l was just in my dressing room,

and l was looking out the window,

and l was looking up
at the big, bright sky,

and there are so many stars.

And l thought,

"Man, it looks like they would
take such good care of you."

Do you know what l mean?

Come on, baby, come on. Don't do this.

l never lived on a star,
but it sure looks like fun.

Hey, what did y'all think of Beau?

Wasn't he great?

Let's go. Come on, come on, play!

Come on, baby, come on. Sing!

Oh, y'all want me to sing?

l am going to sing, okay?

l just...

l just feel like l need to
sit down. Would that be okay?

Can l just sit down and just
rest? And l am going to sing.

-Love you!
-All right, Kelly!

l'm going to sing. Let's
sing AFighter, okay?

Sing.

Sing, Kelly.

Sing, baby.

We're never going to make it to Dallas!
The whole show's going to get cancelled!

-Would you just relax?
-Hey, where the hell were you?

Where the hell were you when she had
a bottle of vodka in her dressing room?

-l was on stage!
-You were on stage?

Jesus Christ, don't you have
any tricks up your sleeve?

Yeah, don't take somebody
out of rehab before the rehab!

Who the hell do you think you are, kid?

Will you sign this?

People are ready to forgive you, but you
have to give them something they want.

l've scheduled an
emergency press conference

and a Make A Wish appearance
in Austin. The kid's name is...

-Travis.
-Travis. And he has...

-Leukaemia.
-Leukaemia.

Let's go, people. lt's time
to do some clean-up here.

Thanks, JJ.

We'll make it up to you next week.

She better put on a real pretty face.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.

Shit. Come on, man.

You know we're all
fools in this business.

What are you looking at?

No one's ever going to buy food
poisoning. She's a total basket case.

Why don't you be quiet and
tell me what you're looking at?

Don't.

"'When did General MacArthur
return to the Philippines?"'

1 946.

"'What does 'amorous' mean?"'

Having a propensity for falling in love.

What the hell are these things?

Well, as a woman in this industry,

people have a habit of thinking
l'm some kind of ignoramus.

And my pageant training doesn't exactly
help things, so l have to overcompensate.

You're not the only one who thinks
l'm just some dumb beauty queen.

l'd never call you a dumb beauty queen.

Give me those.

l'm serious. Anybody that
says "'ignoramus"' so casually,

that's not dumb at all.

Why don't y'all just sleep together?

Get it over with. Jesus. Really.

l feel great.

l feel better than l
have in a long time,

aside from the food poisoning incident.

Note to self: never trust a sushi
bar that's open 24 hours a day.

But all that's behind me now.

And l just want to say, l'm really looking
forward to playing for my fans here in Austin.

What about Dallas?

Dallas?

Yeah, your last date will be
broadcast in Dallas, correct?

Yes.

We all know that Dallas
and l have a history,

and it's not such a good one.

So l'm really looking
forward to changing that.

Thank you.

Kelly!

Kelly! Kelly!

ls this on?

l guess so. l'm sorry.

My parents are school teachers. l'm not
used to running in such fancy circles.

-Chiles!
-Chiles!

-Yes?
-Chiles, who is your idol?

l'm on tour with her right now.
And Jesus Christ, of course.

Kelly Canter and Jesus Christ.

You and Jesus Christ.
Who would have thought?

-They love her.
-Yeah, l guess.

What do you think of her?

l don't.

You're not a very good liar, Beau.

Hey, are we still
going to hang out today?

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

So, what do you suppose we do?

Steal a car, do some
skinny-dipping, shave our heads?

Hey, come on. Let's get out
of here and have some fun.

-Come on.
-Okay.

Well, what do you think?

l think l'm Kelly Canter
and l'm breaking the law!

Give me more! Yeah! Come on!

Get it out there! Give me more!

Yeah! l got six Grammys
and seven platinum records!

And everybody knows who l am!

And? Come on, what else?

And l have the best damn marriage
in the world of country music!

Yeah, she's good, James.

Let's talk about the Freedom
Tour. She might be a good addition.

You better hurry.

-How about this week?
-All right.

Look, l was sorry to hear about
Kelly. We were all praying for her.

Thank you, Bob, but she's doing just fine.
She's looking forward to the next show.

-She also loves the tracks you sent over.
-Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Especially Coming Home. She
thinks that could be her next single.

She'd sing the hell out of it, Bob.

The little girl right there is the one
to sing that song. l'll talk to you later.

What?

Maybe we should stop this.

You're married, Kelly, you know?

Well, l've always been married.

Yeah, but just after
today, l've been thinking

that maybe l'm just not the
best thing for you in your life.

l want to be, but...

l'm just

trying to do what's best for you.

Since when?

l think the world of you, Beau.

But sometimes you don't have the
faintest idea of how to talk to women.

Hey.

-Do you want to hang out?
-No, not really.

All right.

l just wanted to show
you my lyrics. That's all.

Where have you been?

l was with Beau.

Why do you have a towel on?

We were out and l got so dirty
l needed to take a shower.

Well, that sounds like fun.

lt was.

-Can l help you do that?
-Nope, l got it.

Are you going to let me in or what?

Do you write all your own lyrics?

What is this, Twenty Questions?

How come you haven't got
the chorus wrote down yet?

Because l haven't come up with it yet.

l could write it for you.

This ain't Mad Libs, Chiles.

You can't just fill in a blank
with a noun America loves.

Well, l could write good
lyrics if l wanted to.

Maybe l just haven't been inspired by
anyone yet. You ever think about that?

l don't need to be singing
about my Achy Breaky Heart.

Give ln To Me? That's what it's called?

-l like that title.
-Good. Then don't mess it up.

Oh, my God! The Miss
America Pageant's on.

l'm just dying for Miss Oklahoma to win.

She's got the best figure, and she
does the prettiest ribbon routine.

l think l need a drink.

-Do you want one?
-Just a tiny one.

How would l change the
world if l won this crown?

l would start by putting country
music on all US outbound flights.

Then l'd change the national anthem
to Merle Haggard's Mama Tried.

This is how you win a beauty pageant.

Oh, let's see.

"'Thank you, ladies and
gentlemen, distinguished judges."'

That's such bullshit.

And then l give them
one of my seven smiles.

-Yeah, let's see them.
-Well, l got swimsuit.

And then interview.

l like that one.

l got my formal wear.

Which one's your
drunk-off-my-ass smile?

l think you're drunk.

You know, l think we should
have a swimsuit competition.

l don't have a swimsuit.

Well, you're wearing a bra
and panties, aren't you?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's the same thing.

Yeah, l'm doing it. Here
we go. You versus me.

Beau, what are you doing?

Don't be a chickenshit
about this, Chiles.

l've seen plenty of ladies
in their swimsuits before.

l'll get into mine just so we're even.

Your turn.

All right.

But no pictures.

l may go on to be Miss America one day.

So, what do we do now?

Build a sandcastle or something?

Oh, my God. That must be James.

-What the hell's he doing here?
-Put your pants on.

Well, it's not like you have
to answer it or anything.

You know l do.

Put your pants on. Hurry.

-Hi, James.
-Hey.

l was just showing Beau my pageant walk.

And he was leaving. Right,
Beau? You were just leaving?

-Yeah.
-Well, that's something l'd like to see.

ls that guyliner?

That's real cute, Beau.

The Statesman's calling you
the next Carrie Underwood.

-Really?
-Yes.

You're on their "'Top Ten
Country Artists to Watch"' list.

-Was Beau on the list?
-Yes.

"'The next Townes Van
Zandt."' Who's that?

-He was a singer-songwriter.
-Was he famous?

ln some circles, but not nearly
as famous as Carrie Underwood.

How did you know? How did
you know l had it in me?

l just took one look at you, darling. l mean,
you might as well be holding up a stop sign.

Most people just pass right through.

Yeah, well, they'll regret
it. l promise you that.

Well, you just got to figure
out another pickup line.

Hi, Beau.

-Did you have a good time last night?
-Yeah. Sure.

Yeah, that's good.

l finished your lyrics
for you. There they are.

God, how did you ever find the time?

You be quiet, Beau Hutton.

Chiles, me and the guys here,
we were talking about that year

MacArthur returned
back to the Philippines.

Just none of us could think of
when that was. When was that?

Are you making fun of me, Beau?

Well, l don't know. Let
me check my flash card.

Yes, l am.

You're an asshole, man.

What are you doing here?

-You're not supposed to be here.
-Yeah, well,

l just looked for the biggest shit-hole
bar in town and there you were, Beau.

You're not that hard to figure out.

l thought you didn't want
anything else to do with me.

l'm waving a white flag.

l got a surprise for you. Come on,
Winnie's waiting for us out front.

Come on!

Seriously?

Yeah. You gotta to learn your
way around a recording studio.

After Dallas, your fans are
going to want to buy something.

What's going on?

What are you doing here, Kelly?

That's my song.

l know you liked the song, baby,
but Bob sent some other songs over

that were much better, much more
appropriate for you. l liked them a lot.

This song, it was
too, l don't know what.

-lt was just too...
-Too what?

Too good? Too young? What?

lt wasn't right for you.

l get it.

You can't expect to be the toast of
the town after the way you've acted.

Believe me, you've made it perfectly clear
that l'm not the toast of anyone's town.

-Kelly, listen.
-Get off of me!

Hey.

Leave me alone, James.

Kell, l got somebody out here
who wants to see you, okay?

Who?

Look here.

She's been asking for you all day.

Loretta Lynn.

l'm busy, you know, today, and...

l thought you could take her back to
the hotel with you, take care of her.

You're just trying to
make me feel better.

l got to run over to Stanley's this
afternoon and l can't take her with me.

They won't allow it.

You know? So...

lt would help.

Oh, my God, James.

-She's so tiny.
-Yeah, she is, isn't she?

She gets hungry really fast.

So, you should probably come on out.

Okay.

All right.

You must not think l'm much of a man.

l never said that.

l don't always dance for her, you know?

l know.

She used to be tough as nails.

What happened to her?

l don't know.

She had a fire in her.

The only place she
wanted to be was on stage.

That was it.

l don't know when she
got so goddamn fragile.

Maybe she's done.

No. No, l can't let
her go out like this.

Then, let's just stop her right now.

Before it gets any worse.

-No. No.
-Just turn the bus around

and put her back in rehab.

lt might get better.
She can get stronger.

You and l both know she's
not getting any better.

You're just talking like her sponsor.

You and l both know l
was never her sponsor.

-Where's Kell?
-She told me she was going to pick you up.

Shake it, girl!

Kelly, come on. Come on, time to go.

-Beau! Beau!
-Get down.

Hey! Just give her a break, guys.

-We're just having a good time with her.
-Stop it!

Just listen to me.

-How dare you do that to me?
-l don't give a shit!

Can you get down here now, Chiles?
lt's Miss Kitty's on 38th 1/2.

How dare you? Those
people are my friends!

-Because l need your help.
-Come in here

-and pull me out of a bar.
-l don't care.

-Just take a cab and pull around back.
-Who do you think you are?

You're just somebody's
daughter, aren't you?

Yes, l guess l am.

Whose daughter are you?

Her name is Sandy. l'm Sandy's daughter.

She must have done a real number on you.

Yes, ma'am, she did.

Don't call me "'ma'am."'

Sorry.

l always wanted a daughter.

You did?

l will, one day.

l'm going to have a daughter and
treat herjust like fine china.

l'll tell her how smart she is.

And l'm going to let her
drive whenever she wants.

And l'll let her get her ears pierced.

l will.

l got my ears pierced when l was six.

l had my eye on these
beautiful diamond stars.

l told myself they were diamonds, but
l'm pretty sure they were just CZs.

My mom said l had to get
the starting-out earrings

and those were just
boring old gold balls.

You know, just the real plain ones.

She said l could change them out if l
was responsible enough to clean them,

but she never let me.

-Well, they sound real pretty.
-Yeah, they were real pretty.

l think you can have one hell
of a career if you want one.

l want one.

l know you do.

Be nice to Beau, okay?

He thinks he's so tough.

But l ain't ever had a
man be so gentle with me.

He's one of the good ones.

He's one of the only good ones.

Does this mean we're friends?

No, sweetheart.

lt don't mean a thing.

Kelly! Kelly! Kelly!

Where in the hell have y'all been?

Hey! Hey!

Get a hold of yourself!
Come on! Get it together!

Let her alone, James. She's sick.

JJ, she's fine.

-She's a little under the weather.
-She's done. We're done.

The sponsor's been
pulled. The show is over.

JJ, look. You can fix this.

You know them well. They trust you.

-We go back a long way.
-l just lost a quarter of a million

in return tickets. l'm probably
not the person you want to ask.

JJ, come on. lt's not all about money!

l cannot believe we
fell for this shit again.

-We got to have Dallas.
-She's done.

How y'all doing tonight?

Thank you very much for waiting.

l have a special surprise for you.

lt's a new song,

and l'm going to need my
friend, Chiles Stanton,

to come out and sing this with me.

No.

She's a very talented
songwriter and this is her song.

Will you please welcome to
the stage, Miss Chiles Stanton.

Come on.

What the hell are you doing?

Hi, everybody.

This is our first time singing
it, so please be kind to us.

l have sources that say
alcohol was involved.

l don't know anything about that.

Thousands of people paid their hard-earned
money to see Kelly perform tonight,

and they're walking away
disappointed. What do you say to that?

l'd say l expect a little more loyalty.

Kelly?

-Get out of here, Beau.
-Get the hell out, kid!

What the hell did you say?

-She's not your wife!
-Yeah, she ain't yours, either!

Get the hell out of
here, you goddamn asshole!

-Do you feel tough now?
-Get dressed, Kelly.

You're the only one that's
good enough for me, is that it?

No, but l'm a hell of a lot
better than that asshole.

You're no better than him at all.

Do you think he gives a shit about you?

Do you think you give a shit about me?

Knocking on my door every goddamn day!

lf you gave a shit about me, you would
have left me alone in the first place!

l'm here for you and you're
just too dumb to realise it.

-You just want what you can get.
-Give me the bottle, Kelly.

-Give it to me!
-No more.

-Give it to me!
-Give it!

Why did you do that?

l'm tired.

Come on, let's get you to bed.

l'm sorry.

PBR.

Dallas is going to be
cancelled, isn't it? She's crazy.

She's not crazy. She's
the only honest one here.

Why are you here, Chiles?

-l don't know.
-l'm tired.

-Wait!
-Wait, what?

Do you want to come in?

Stop it.

-Fine.
-Wait! Don't...

Don't make me say it.

Say what?

You're being very rude right now.

Tell me what you want.

Nothing.

Where are you going?

They found Loretta
Lynn's box at the bar.

They were going to throw
her out with the garbage.

l'm going to give her to
somebody who can take care of her.

l thought we had that Make
A Wish thing today at noon.

lt doesn't matter any more.
You don't have to do it.

Hey, l talked to JJ. He's
going to let us have Dallas.

l can't imagine why.

What if l told you l
was never Miss Dallas?

l'd probably like you
even more. Were you?

l almost was.

What happened?

l choked.

Like always.

They asked me what my
stance on global warming was,

and all l could think of was
a planet in a big, old sweater

my grandma used to make me.

l'm sure that would have kept
the whole world nice and warm.

Do you still like me?

l still like you.

-l'm serious, Beau.
-l still like you.

But l'm not what l seem.

Well, maybe that's
what l like about you.

-Did you ever think of that?
-No.

Maybe that's what makes you different from
all those other pretty pennies out there.

lt's just going to be a few minutes
of your time, okay, Mrs Canter?

Just take a couple of photos with the
boy and we'll have you on your way.

-Okay.
-lt's right down here.

-Do you need a coffee?
-No, l'm fine. Thank you.

Hi.

Thank you so much for coming.
lt just means the world to us.

lt's my pleasure. Thank
you. Which one is...

-ls that Travis there?
-He's right over there.

Okay.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-Are you Travis?
-Yes.

-Do you mind if l sit down?
-No.

Okay.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-ls this your class?
-Yes.

-Do you have any fun in here?
-Yes.

You do?

-That's good. Thanks for inviting me.
-You're welcome.

Tell her how much you
love her music, Travis.

Are you going to play a song for me?

What? Am l going to play a song for you?

-No, you don't have to.
-Yes, l am.

l am. That's why l brought my guys.

Come on in, guys.

There's just one little thing
which is, l wrote this new song,

and l'm not sure if it's
any good, so l was...

Thanks.

l was hoping that l could play it for
you and you tell me what you think, okay?

Okay.

lt's called Travis.

And it goes like this.

-What did you think?
-ls it over?

Travis. l'm sorry.

ls it... No. No, it's not, is it? No.

We got a whole other
part. Don't we, guys?

And it goes like...

What do you say? Would
you dance with me for real?

You would? Oh, my gosh.

Come on, boys, bring it
home. This is my lucky day.

Oh, my gosh. Okay.

Show me what you got.

Come on, guys! Are you
going to dance with us?

Let's see your moves on the floor now.

Oh, yeah. l like those moves.

Okay, bring it home for me.

Yeah.

l'm Nick Beres reporting live
outside the downtown arena

where country music superstar Kelly
Canter is set to arrive any moment.

Mrs Canter came down with
food poisoning in Houston.

She didn't show up in Austin.

But her fans here
have not given up hope.

Almost a year ago today,

Kelly Canter performed
at this very same arena

in what became the most talked
about performance of the year.

Mrs Canter, who was five months
pregnant, tripped over a microphone cord

and fell 10 feet off
the edge of the stage.

She had a blood-alcohol
level of .1 9 at the time.

She's hit rock bottom.

And sometimes you have to hit rock
bottom to realise what you had.

And l think she's going to
come back. Better than ever.

l was here last year when
it all fell apart for Kelly.

l mean, how many
chances can someone get?

l don't know. Let's ask the fans
out there. What do you think?

Are you ready to hear
Kelly's big encore?

-You can't afford these.
-Don't worry about that.

-l can't take these.
-Put them on.

-No.
-Put them on. l want to see them on.

Better than gold balls?

Yeah.

l'm leaving after the
show, heading to California.

Why?

There's an opportunity for me out there.

A friend of a friend has
got a ranch on the beach

and needs somebody to help him out.

Somebody like you.

And you.

-What about our music?
-That's the best part.

There's this bar right in the centre of town
that just lost its Saturday night lineup,

and l know it's not a 1
0-city tour or anything,

but it's a bunch of hard-working
people that like to listen to good music

while they drink their beer.

l just figured maybe we
could write during the day,

see if we come up with anything,

enough to write an album.

l already have enough
songs to make an album.

lf you want to sing those country
pop songs, you go right ahead.

-But you're better than that, Chiles.
-No, l'm not.

Yes, you are. l swear it. Just because
they might put them on the radio

it doesn't mean they're worth a damn.

l've never seen the beach before.

So come with me.

Okay.

You will?

-We're ready for you, Beau.
-All right.

Okay.

Beau.

What if you gave me a little
time to think about it?

You take all the time you need.

Good evening, Dallas.

Welcome to the Kelly Canter Encore Tour.

Now, to start things off,

let's hear it for the man you fell
in love with back in Nashville,

Beau Hutton!

l love you, Beau!

l'd like to dedicate this
first song to Kelly Canter.

She's the reason l'm
here. She's a true talent.

This one's not on the set list, but
that doesn't mean it isn't pretty.

This one's for you, Kelly.

Pretty.

Thank you.

-You got a pen and paper?
-Yeah, sure.

l've been thinking of some
things that l want to tell you.

Okay.

Don't ever wear satin on stage
'cause it wrinkles like anything,

and your sweat will show right through
it, l don't care how pretty the dress is.

Always travel with your costumes
and if anything ever needs mending,

send it to Arturo in
Beverly Hills. He's the best.

Don't take laxatives ever

because they never work
the way you want them to.

Don't drink anything
carbonated on a show day.

Okay? lt'll make you bloat.

Wear high heels everywhere you go.

And when it comes to
writing your own songs,

don't get too concerned
about it, all right?

Your motto should always
be, "'The best song wins."'

And don't be afraid to fall in love.

lt's the only thing
that matters in life.

The only thing. Do you
understand what l'm telling you?

Yeah.

You just fall in love with
as many things as possible.

You're going to have to find a way
to tell people about your parents

'cause they're not
school teachers, are they?

Have either one of them been
in prison for anything violent?

Yeah.

Are they out?

My mom is.

Well, you got to work with a publicist

and decide the best way to get it out.

You never want to hide anything from
your fans. lt's just not worth it.

Okay?

Okay.

How did you know?

l just had a feeling.

Thank you very much.

We got somebody special coming up.

l want you to give a warm
welcome to Miss Chiles Stanton.

Wow. That is a welcome dreams
are made of. Thank y'all so much.

Mr Beau Hutton, everyone.
lsn't he the best?

Hey. Thanks for the song.

You might have been the
only one that liked it.

Come on, now.

-l guess they're not buying the bad shrimp.
-Yeah, l guess not.

-Do you think l'm crazy?
-No.

l just don't think love and
fame can live in the same place.

l loved that baby, too, Beau.

l was sadder than
anybody when l lost it.

l can't change my past.

You know? l can't
change how much l drank.

l'm stronger than all
this. You know that, right?

l know.

l'm going to give them
one hell of a show.

l thought you would.

Come here.

You got a full house out there.

l heard.

l've never loved
anybody like l loved you.

You know that, right?

Let's just get through tonight, okay?

Hey, Dove.

Give them hell tonight, okay?

Ladies and gentlemen,

let's welcome back to Dallas the
lady you've been waiting to see,

the belle of Bristol,
six-time Grammy winner,

country superstar Kelly Canter.

Yeah!

That's how it's done, sweetheart.

Okay?

Okay, we got The Chronicle here.
They want pictures. Chiles, you, too.

Earlier tonight, this
stadium pulsed with excitement

over an incredible performance
by country superstar Kelly Canter.

But it still begs the inevitable question,
"'How long will her sobriety last?"'

Fill it up! Let's go!

-James.
-Yeah.

Hi. What can we expect next from Kelly?

Well, more songs, more shows,

and a hell of a lot more
of what we saw tonight.

-Beau, look this way!
-Beau, right here!

Well done, James. lt looks like Kelly's
going to get her encore after all.

Well, now, we couldn't have
done it without you, could we?

Thanks, man. l'll see you in Nashville.
We'll talk about some more dates.

Yeah, JJ. All right. Yeah, thanks.

-Who needs a drink?
-Right here. One for me, one for you.

Next week, l'm recording my new single,

and hopefully continuing
on this amazing tour.

-Hey, Beau.
-Where's Kell?

Jesse Clark of Country FM.

She's just cleaning up a
bit. She'll be back out.

Great set. How does it feel to
have your career change overnight?

Kell? Kell...

Kell? Kell. Kelly!

Kelly. Hey, Kelly.

What did you take? Kelly,
how many did you take? Kelly!

Come on, wake up. Wake up.
How many did you take, Kelly?

Dear Beau.

You once told me that love and
fame can't live in the same place.

lf that is true, there's
only one choice to make,

especially for someone as
gentle and loving as you.

l don't regret a single
moment we spent together.

You filled my last days
with true happiness.

So choose love.

Take off and don't look back.

Because there is no one
more worthy of love than you.

Waylon said it best
when he sang to Willie.

"lf you see me getting smaller,
l'm leaving, don't be grieving.

"l just got to get away from here.

"lf you see me getting smaller,
don't worry, l'm in no hurry.

"l've got the right to disappear."

Thank you. Thank you all for coming
out tonight on a Saturday night.

You've been real kind.

-Play another one, Beau.
-All right, then.

This one's called Chances Are.

Well, goddamn.

l'd like to bring a friend on stage,

a wonderful songwriter
l met in Nashville.

She just so happens to be here tonight.

Will you welcome to the
stage Miss Chiles Stanton.

And this one's called Give ln To Me.
