[singer] Gotta take them
to church, man.

162
00:13:35,333 --> 00:13:36,583
You know we love having you.

163
00:13:36,666 --> 00:13:38,208
Hey, we're playing
next Sunday, Bruce.

164
00:13:38,291 --> 00:13:39,726
- Come join us, man.
- Yeah, I'll be there.

165
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:40,833
Yeah, don't miss it.

166
00:13:42,416 --> 00:13:44,708
- Hey, Bruce. Hey, man.
- Hey.

167
00:13:45,291 --> 00:13:46,416
- It's Joey.
- Hey.

168
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,166
Romano.
We had gym class together.

169
00:13:49,666 --> 00:13:52,000
- Joey. Joey, hey. Yeah.
- Yeah.

170
00:13:52,083 --> 00:13:53,708
- Yeah, it's been a long time.
- Yeah.

171
00:13:53,791 --> 00:13:55,458
- How you been?
- Good, good.

172
00:13:55,541 --> 00:13:56,625
Good, you know.

173
00:13:56,708 --> 00:13:59,416
I mean, not as good as you,
but come on. Who is, right?

174
00:14:00,416 --> 00:14:03,000
Who'd have thunk Springy
would be a superstar?

175
00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:05,458
Hey, how are your folks?

176
00:14:05,958 --> 00:14:07,166
They seem to be getting by.

177
00:14:07,250 --> 00:14:08,916
They moved out to California...

178
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,541
- Oh, shit.
- ...after we graduated.

179
00:14:12,083 --> 00:14:13,750
You remember my sister, Faye?

180
00:14:14,916 --> 00:14:16,083
Come on. Don't be shy.

181
00:14:16,583 --> 00:14:17,458
- [Bruce] No.
- Hi.

182
00:14:17,541 --> 00:14:19,125
- No, sorry. Not really.
- Yeah.

183
00:14:19,208 --> 00:14:21,333
Faye was a few years
behind us in school.

184
00:14:22,583 --> 00:14:23,875
High school is a bit of a blur.

185
00:14:23,958 --> 00:14:26,916
Sure. I mean, you meet
so many people nowadays.

186
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,041
Right.

187
00:14:28,125 --> 00:14:29,517
[Joey's friend]
Romano, we're leaving.

188
00:14:29,541 --> 00:14:32,541
Give me a fucking minute.
I'm talking to Bruce.

189
00:14:33,416 --> 00:14:35,041
Jesus.

190
00:14:35,125 --> 00:14:36,666
I can't wait
for your next record, man.

191
00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:37,583
Oh, thanks, man.

192
00:14:37,666 --> 00:14:39,833
Next thing you know, it's,
"Elvis is in the building."

193
00:14:39,916 --> 00:14:41,416
No, no. Never.

194
00:14:42,333 --> 00:14:43,625
All right.

195
00:14:43,708 --> 00:14:45,416
- I'll catch you.
- Mmm.

196
00:14:46,166 --> 00:14:47,833
- Keep doing your thing, man.
- Thanks.

197
00:14:47,916 --> 00:14:49,000
[Joey] I'm coming!

198
00:14:52,166 --> 00:14:54,333
I'm sorry.
We actually haven't met.

199
00:14:54,416 --> 00:14:55,916
He's been saying
he'd introduce me

200
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,166
for a while, but...

201
00:14:57,250 --> 00:14:58,541
Like, since I graduated.

202
00:14:58,625 --> 00:15:00,416
I didn't believe
he actually knew you.

203
00:15:02,291 --> 00:15:03,601
I loved your version
of "Lucille."

204
00:15:03,625 --> 00:15:04,916
You really let
all the stops out.

205
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,958
Oh, yeah. Cool.

206
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:08,791
You like Little Richard?

207
00:15:09,333 --> 00:15:10,333
Yeah.

208
00:15:10,416 --> 00:15:11,291
I mean, no offense,

209
00:15:11,375 --> 00:15:12,726
he's the real king
of rock and roll.

210
00:15:12,750 --> 00:15:13,833
That's true.

211
00:15:16,541 --> 00:15:17,666
I know this is weird.

212
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:19,625
I told Joey he probably
shouldn't bother you,

213
00:15:19,708 --> 00:15:25,416
but if you ever wanna hang out
or grab a coffee or...

214
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:27,458
It's not weird at all. I, uh...

215
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,541
I've met a few sisters.

216
00:15:29,625 --> 00:15:31,750
- I bet you have.
- I just... [chuckles]

217
00:15:33,041 --> 00:15:35,916
I gotta be honest with you.
I... I'm kinda seeing somebody.

218
00:15:36,458 --> 00:15:38,083
You know, just kinda.

219
00:15:38,166 --> 00:15:39,934
And I'm sure me and you
could have a lot of fun.

220
00:15:39,958 --> 00:15:41,351
I'm just not sure
I'd be a lot of fun.

221
00:15:41,375 --> 00:15:44,208
- I get it. I'm just a fan.
- Okay.

222
00:15:44,291 --> 00:15:46,041
I know you got
a lot of those, so...

223
00:15:46,125 --> 00:15:47,125
Right.

224
00:15:48,875 --> 00:15:50,059
Well, if you do
change your mind,

225
00:15:50,083 --> 00:15:52,208
and you wanna meet up...

226
00:15:53,208 --> 00:15:54,666
Yeah. Maybe someday.

227
00:15:54,750 --> 00:15:56,875
- That would be great.
- Okay.

228
00:15:56,958 --> 00:15:58,625
[man in car] Bruce, you suck!

229
00:16:00,208 --> 00:16:01,250
Ooh.

230
00:16:01,333 --> 00:16:02,875
Another satisfied customer.

231
00:16:02,958 --> 00:16:04,666
Clearly not
a Little Richard fan.

232
00:16:09,541 --> 00:16:11,500
[♪ Pensive music plays]

233
00:16:43,875 --> 00:16:45,875
[Bruce's parents arguing]

234
00:16:47,875 --> 00:16:49,916
[Bruce's mother] The yelling
and the screaming...

235
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,809
- [Bruce's father] Bruce!
- You should be ashamed...

236
00:16:51,833 --> 00:16:53,958
You're a bully.
You don't even know it!

237
00:16:54,041 --> 00:16:55,416
I don't even recognize you.

238
00:16:56,250 --> 00:16:58,250
You don't know
what the hell's going on.

239
00:16:58,333 --> 00:17:01,333
I'm not gonna let him grow up
in a house

240
00:17:01,416 --> 00:17:03,583
where he is terrified
of his father.

241
00:17:07,583 --> 00:17:08,666
Get up.

242
00:17:12,333 --> 00:17:13,500
[sighs]

243
00:17:16,333 --> 00:17:17,500
Put your hands up.

244
00:17:18,125 --> 00:17:19,333
I'm tired.

245
00:17:19,416 --> 00:17:21,500
You're too young to be tired.

246
00:17:21,583 --> 00:17:23,583
Daddy, you know
I don't like to fight.

247
00:17:24,333 --> 00:17:27,833
Well, sometimes you have to.
Come on.

248
00:17:28,333 --> 00:17:29,750
It'll be fun. Hands up.

249
00:17:30,708 --> 00:17:32,458
Up. Protect your face.

250
00:17:32,541 --> 00:17:34,416
There you go. That's it.

251
00:17:35,291 --> 00:17:36,750
Good. This way.

252
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,250
Jab.

253
00:17:39,333 --> 00:17:41,666
No. This hand. Jab.

254
00:17:42,458 --> 00:17:45,333
No. This hand. This hand. Look.

255
00:17:45,416 --> 00:17:46,583
Huh?

256
00:17:48,416 --> 00:17:49,416
Jab.

257
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:52,416
No. This hand. Come on.

258
00:17:55,625 --> 00:17:57,000
Be a man. Hit me.

259
00:17:57,583 --> 00:18:00,291
Here. Harder. Huh? Come on.

260
00:18:02,041 --> 00:18:04,500
- Harder.
- Douglas! Enough!

261
00:18:13,541 --> 00:18:16,208
[Jon] I was telling Walter
about that night in Hamburg.

262
00:18:16,291 --> 00:18:17,541
We start the show,

263
00:18:17,625 --> 00:18:19,625
and it's like
Night of the Living Dead.

264
00:18:19,708 --> 00:18:21,125
Everybody's sitting
on their hands.

265
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:23,500
Then Max hits the drum intro,

266
00:18:23,583 --> 00:18:26,500
and bam,
everybody's up on their feet.

267
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:27,583
Yeah, they were in.

268
00:18:27,666 --> 00:18:29,125
They were all in.

269
00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:31,000
You know, I'll never forget it.

270
00:18:31,583 --> 00:18:32,833
It was like a tidal wave.

271
00:18:33,875 --> 00:18:35,958
I mean, they'd have you back
tomorrow if they could.

272
00:18:36,583 --> 00:18:38,166
We're very well set up
over there.

273
00:18:39,375 --> 00:18:40,375
[Bruce] Hmm.

274
00:18:41,041 --> 00:18:42,916
But, you know,
I think it's the next record

275
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,458
that's gonna situate all of it.

276
00:18:45,875 --> 00:18:47,083
You know how it goes.

277
00:18:47,166 --> 00:18:48,708
Once you have
your first top ten,

278
00:18:48,791 --> 00:18:50,500
you know, they want three
for the next.

279
00:18:50,583 --> 00:18:51,916
You gotta feed the machine.

280
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,500
That's not us, Jon.

281
00:18:54,416 --> 00:18:56,583
We've never been
about singles, but the album.

282
00:18:56,666 --> 00:18:57,958
Right? The whole story.

283
00:18:58,041 --> 00:18:59,041
No, I know.

284
00:18:59,625 --> 00:19:01,059
I mean, they're not thinking
about albums.

285
00:19:01,083 --> 00:19:02,708
They're just thinking
about momentum.

286
00:19:03,458 --> 00:19:04,625
Right.

287
00:19:04,708 --> 00:19:06,500
You know? The big picture.

288
00:19:09,833 --> 00:19:11,541
Hey, they're just excited.

289
00:19:12,625 --> 00:19:15,208
You know, they wanna make sure
we don't lose steam.

290
00:19:17,083 --> 00:19:18,791
[sighs]

291
00:19:23,375 --> 00:19:24,583
It's hard coming home.

292
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:29,625
Quiet can get a little loud.

293
00:19:31,541 --> 00:19:32,708
But that's, you know...

294
00:19:34,208 --> 00:19:36,500
Coming off the road has never
been easy for you.

295
00:19:38,958 --> 00:19:40,041
Yeah.

296
00:19:40,125 --> 00:19:41,541
You just need to give it
some time.

297
00:19:42,125 --> 00:19:43,250
It'll pass.

298
00:19:44,375 --> 00:19:46,666
Yeah. Yeah.

299
00:19:54,333 --> 00:19:58,791
You know, I've been, um...
thinking about what you said.

300
00:19:58,875 --> 00:20:00,958
Next time we go in the studio,
you know,

301
00:20:01,041 --> 00:20:03,208
don't waste all the time
and money writing in there.

302
00:20:03,291 --> 00:20:04,875
We wanna come ready
with the material.

303
00:20:04,958 --> 00:20:06,208
That's smart.

304
00:20:06,291 --> 00:20:08,708
You finished The River
with only 20K in the bank.

305
00:20:08,791 --> 00:20:09,791
Right.

306
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:11,142
You spent all your money
in the studio

307
00:20:11,166 --> 00:20:12,166
finishing the record.

308
00:20:12,250 --> 00:20:13,530
You don't need to do that again.

309
00:20:13,583 --> 00:20:16,833
I read about these machines.
You know, they're new.

310
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:19,375
You can multitrack at home,
you know, for cheap.

311
00:20:20,083 --> 00:20:21,708
They record on quarter-inch?

312
00:20:21,791 --> 00:20:22,916
No, cassettes.

313
00:20:23,583 --> 00:20:25,708
Cassettes? How many tracks?

314
00:20:25,791 --> 00:20:28,125
Four. You can get
basic arrangement down.

315
00:20:28,208 --> 00:20:31,250
You know, a little bit more
than guitar, vocal demo.

316
00:20:31,333 --> 00:20:32,416
They don't sound great,

317
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:35,291
but, you know, it's not about
capturing sounds

318
00:20:35,375 --> 00:20:37,166
so much as ideas.

319
00:20:39,541 --> 00:20:40,666
Look into it.

320
00:20:40,750 --> 00:20:41,791
Oh, I am.

321
00:20:45,208 --> 00:20:47,625

that's happened,

take on "Cover Me"

1118
01:12:08,166 --> 01:12:10,250

give to Donna Summer.

"I'm Goin' Down,"

That it could be
"Born in the U.S.A."

And ten other tracks,
and nobody would care.

I bought a house in L.A.

I've ever had that's mine,

I need to go out there
on my own.

1467

You're moving to Los Angeles

and you wait
until now to tell me?

Well, I didn't know.

1470
01:31:16,208 --> 01:31:17,750
I was trying
to find the right time,

1471

but there's never been
a right time.

You think this is about timing?

This isn't
about California, Bruce.

1474
01:31:25,291 --> 01:31:26,351
This is about you running away

1475

from everything that scares you.

1476
01:31:27,875 --> 01:31:30,166
From us. From what we could be.

"it's not you, it's me" crap.

I know you're scared.

1479

I've seen it every time
you look at Haley.

1480
01:31:37,875 --> 01:31:38,916
Every time you look at me,

1481
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:40,309
you think
that you're protecting us

1482
01:31:40,333 --> 01:31:41,684
by pushing us away,
but you're just hiding...

1483

I don't wanna hurt you, Faye.

I don't wanna hurt anyone.

I've done enough
of that already.

1486
01:31:52,916 --> 01:31:54,958
Then what about facing it?

1487
01:31:57,291 --> 01:32:00,000
What about actually
dealing with your shit,

1488
01:32:00,083 --> 01:32:02,000
instead of running from it?

1489
01:32:06,416 --> 01:32:08,416
You say that you can't love me
like I deserve

1490
01:32:08,500 --> 01:32:10,583
but the truth is,
you won't even try.

1491
01:32:11,375 --> 01:32:13,416
Because trying
means facing yourself,

1492
01:32:13,500 --> 01:32:15,500
and that terrifies you.

1493
01:32:18,416 --> 01:32:21,666

we are not here to play house.

You know, I think you're right.

I think you should go,
