Okay, I'm recording.

There she is.

The birthday girl.

Pick it up. - Hi, Frankie.

Aw, look.

Okay, dad, go ahead and go ahead

and light the candle for her.

There you go.

There you go.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, dear Frankie ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Help her blow it out, Jo.

Good job! - Yay!

Yay!

Yeah, let her lick the icing off.

Oh, so cute.

There you go! - Ah, good job!

Look here, honey.

I'm trying to document this.

Okay, well, it does look very good.

Oh, she's getting cake
all over my arms, aren't you?

More?

I'm gonna join in the fun.

Yeah! - All right!

Good morning West Texas.

You're listening to A Cup of Jo.

Today's weather report,

a 20% chance of showers and
thunderstorms after four PM.

Some of the storms could be severe.

Mostly cloudy,

then gradually becoming sunny and hot,

with a high near of 97.

South southwest winds
10 to 20 miles per hour.

Well, looks like the Lockney
High School marching band

took first place this weekend.

That means they're
officially the loudest kids

in the Panhandle.

Congratulations, y'all.

This one's crazy.

I've got to tell y'all this story.

I got a phone call yesterday
from a friend of mine

who works down at the
hardware store in Spur,

and I can't even make
this up, y'all, a calf,

like, as in a baby cow

wandered into the hardware store in Spur.

Can you imagine the screams?

I mean, I wonder that
cow had been more scared

than anybody else in there, but, you know,

maybe he just needed a a
socket wrench or something

to work on his tractor or
disable the tractor maybe,

I don't know, but that one,

that one threw me for a loop, I'll tell ya.

The county fair opens Friday in Crosbyton.

Livestock shows start at nine AM

and all proceeds go towards
next year's AG program.

So come on out, ride the Ferris wheel,

bring your kids, check out all the animals.

We're gonna have a great time.

And of course, if you see
me, because I'll be there,

make sure and say hi.

So if you're out there driving around

or sipping coffee on your porch

or just trying to feel less
alone, I'm glad you're here.

Let's start your morning off
right with some Jeremy Gravely.

Hey!

Wake up!

I need you to go.

I've got a client coming by in 15.

You have a what?

I have a client coming by in 15.

Is that code for something?

No, it is not a code.

It means you need to go.

I'm straightforward.

Damn. You're cold, girl.

Here, warm up.

Rude.

Any day now.

I just got up.

Do I got time for a shower?

Go! I got a client.

All right. All right.

Just so you know, I had
a good time, you know?

You're good people.

I like your energy.

Thank you.

That little smile you do
where your eyes get all small,

you know what I mean?

It's cute.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Don't forget your pants.

They're over there.

Bye!

Please don't forget to close the door.

Do you have hail damage?

Me too.

If your roof looks like a golf ball

and your truck's got more
dimples than a newborn,

you need to call West Texas Storm Shield.

We've been fighting hail storms

since before your grandma had a garage.

Whether it's shingles, siding-

You ready to see daddy?

Yeah! - Yeah?

Hmm-mm.

I bet he's ready to see you.

Hmm-mm.

How much longer?

Like 20 seconds.

20 seconds? - Yeah.

Got it?

Good job.

Hey cuties!

No.

How about you just being the cutie?

How was school?

Good. - Good.

I've been in the garage all day working

so I'm kind of sweaty, sorry.

It's okay. - I probably stink.

In her backpack there is a
few extra changes of clothes,

you know, underwear, toothbrush, snacks.

Good call.

Or toys. - Good call on the snacks

because I forgot to stock up for Milly Bug.

Oh, why does that not surprise me?

Hey, I gotta keep
you on your toes, right?

Yeah, of course, of course.

Yes. Okay.

Milly, come give mommy kiss, I gotta go.

I love you.

You're gonna have so much fun.

Gimme a kissie.

I'll see you later.

Well, you're in a hurry.

Oh yeah, I'm so sorry,

I've got a pre-tape up at the station,

and they're waiting on me,
I'm running a little behind.

So sorry to drop her off and leave, but.

Okay.

All right.

I'll see you later, bye.

Bye. - Bye, mommy.

What do you wanna do today?

Color. - Color?

Yeah, we can color.

♪ I'm in a Lone Star State of mind ♪

♪ This night's got me feeling just right ♪

♪ Right as a little Texas babe ♪

♪ Let's paint the town in neon lights ♪

Cute, I like this.

Okay, can you give me, like, a soft smile?

Okay.

Turn towards me a little bit.

Towards me a little bit.

Okay. Perfect.

Okay, and then maybe something

like with your arms up would be cute.

Or down, that works too.

Wow!

Love them!

Hey, did you find out if you can come

on the Caribbean trip with us yet?

Oh, yeah, I really want to, I think-

It'll be so fun.

Yeah, I know, for sure.

I think my only hold up right now is,

like, money stuff, but.

Well, let me talk to everyone,

and we can, like,
cover your trip and stuff.

No.

I would not let you do that. - Seriously.

I mean, I personally would
love to have you there.

Aw!

Our own personal photographer.

Oh, yeah.

Let me talk to the
girls and I'll text you.

Send me today's pics
when you get a sec, bye!

Bye.

♪ And I could never have ♪

Well, we usually start trying to plant

in late April, early May,

trying to catch the spring showers.

Now, if it rains
too much, that's a problem.

If it don't rain at all, well,
that's a bigger problem.

Corn.

Corn's tricky.

You give it too much
nitrogen, it gets lazy on you.

You don't give it
enough, then it just quits.

Cotton, cotton's a real stinker.

Needs lots of attention, kind
of like my grandson.

Have you ever watch sorghum grow?

It's like watching paint dry.

But through the good and the bad,

you just keep truckin'
along year after year 'cause,

'cause you love what you do.

This has been Bud Winters
with your weekly AG report.

Yes. That was perfect.

I loved it. Very interesting.

I think so.

Thank you. Jo. - Yeah.

Well, we'll run it next week, I think,

for the week. - Sounds good.

Thanks for coming in.

That was really good.

That wind's picking up again.

Oh, I know.

I told Nancy we're
just one good gust away

from that neighbor's trampoline

ending up in our backyard again.

Again?

Well, if it did that, I guess
that'd be God's way of saying

that y'all need to have a
little more fun in your lives.

Wouldn't that be a sight,

Nancy and I jumping
around like little kids again?

I don't see why not.

Jo, good seeing ya.

Yeah. You too, Bud.

Nancy and I'd love
to have you over for supper

sometime soon.

I know, I've been trying
to make my way that way,

but there's a lot going on.

Well, I promise, I
won't talk to ya ear off.

I'll come by soon, I promise.

All right. Bring that
little Milly with you too.

Of course I will.

Take care.

Shit!

Jo, hold on!

One moment! - I'm actually leaving.

You're a tough lady to
get ahold of, you know that?

Well, it's not an accident.

Hey, how's the, what is this?

How's the radio station and all that?

It's going great, actually.

Thank you for asking.

It's good to hear. - Yep.

Yeah, well, you know, my visit,

I'm coming here to check on that paperwork.

Seeing if you sister had a
chance to fill anything out.

No, she actually,
now that you mention it,

I just remembered she's
still out of the country, so.

Out of the country again.

Yep, she's quite the traveler.

It seems to be a theme,
an ongoing theme with her.

She's just a travelin' girl.

Jo, what are we going to do

to get her back here in a reasonable time?

I mean, would you come
off a vacation early or?

Oh, if it was for a
deal of a lifetime, yes.

You best believe I would
be right over here, yeah.

Not sure what to tell ya, so.

Man, what's crazy is I
thought we were very close

to the finish line.

My clients, they're ready
to make a move on this.

So sorry I can't help you.

My sister is out of
the country, like I said.

Okay, then I'm gonna
have to come back tomorrow

and the day after that,

and then the day after that,

and then the day after that.

Does this ever work for you?

Actually, tell me.

Do you realize how close you are to me?

You know what?

Yeah, you know what? You're right.

You're right, you're right.

This is my fault.

I might've came on a little too strong,

but keep me in the loop.

Thank you, Jo.

So you tell me your sister is not here.

She's literally not here.

Okay. See you tomorrow. - Yeah, you too.

What the...

Bye, Jo!

The hell's going on?

What you doing?

Testing the game.

For two hours you been testing this game.

You ain't gotta go to the bathroom?

Go home? Nothing?

I'm almost done.

What you mean you almost done?

You've been here all day!

People got stuff to do.

I don't trust you.

We don't trust you.

The security people just keep
circling around the building.

We don't trust you.

Just go home!

I'm almost done, almost done.

What do you mean, you almost done?

You been here way too long.

I done took five smoke
breaks since you been here.

Hello?!

A little more time would be cool.

Can somebody help get
this white boy out of here?

♪ Are you alone in your bedroom ♪

♪ I've been alone quite awhile ♪

Hey, sorry, random question,
but have you seen this one?

Hmm, I don't think so, no.

It's fun.

You know, kind of goofy, but in a fun way.

Like, a good way.

Reminds me of those late '90s movies

that never got their due.

You know, back when
movies could still be lite

and, you know, feel good before
everybody was an anti-hero.

I hear they're making a sequel, too,

I just I hope they don't screw it up.

I'll have to check it out.

I don't know, dude.

I feel like sometimes
a movie just finds you

right when you need it most.

Like, you ever put on a movie

just to remember who you
were the first time you saw it?

I don't think I've done that, no.

Eh, maybe it's just me.

Anyway, sorry for talking to your ear off.

I should be back to work.

Happy hunting, though.

You know, if you need
any recommendations at all,

I'm usually lurking,

well, everywhere, but
this section especially.

Okay. Thank you.

Hey, this is Frankie.

Sorry for missing your call.

If you want to book a
session, go to my website

and I'll get back to
you as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Hey, I'm sorry to
call you out of the blue.

I know it's been a long
time since we've talked,

but I really do need to
talk to you about something.

So, if you want to
just stop by the station,

or if you want to give me a call back,

just let me know.

Bye.

Hey.

Hey.

Did you get my message?

Is everything okay?

I mean, yeah,

just calling to see if you
wanted any of this stuff.

What stuff?

I don't want any of this shit.

So, what's going on?

I decided to sell the station.

And when were you gonna tell me?

I'm telling you right now.

Wait, isn't half mine?

Do you want it?

'Cause there's papers
you could sign, you know.

You can have the station for yourself

or we can sell it, split the money.

Go back to acting like we
don't even know each other.

Okay, Jo.

You don't always have to play the victim.

What was that?

So where do I sign?

In my office.

Okay.

What are you doing?

It's this way. - Yeah. Okay.

Taking your time?

Do you have a pen?

Yeah. There you go.

It's just down there at the bottom.

Thank you.

You're still here.

I thought you left.

You want some coffee or something?

Water?

Look, Frankie, I'm sorry. Okay?

Just come back inside.

I'll make you something to drink.

We can talk a little more.

You sure this is safe to drink from?

I mean, I think so.

I'm still here.

And I don't have any creamer by the way.

Do you have anything
stronger than coffee?

Right now?

I don't think that's a
good idea.

Yeah, probably not.

You remember how dad used to take his?

Nope.

Yeah, he used to
always brag about the fact

that he only drank black coffee,

and then I remember I
walked in on him one time,

pouring legit half a
bag of sugar in his mug.

Yeah.

Is it how you remembered?

I mean, no, not really.

I was barely even over here.

What?

I remember you were
always back there in the booth

like, you know, pretending
to record that one show

that you always want to do.

You're, like, taking down
notes and talking points.

You had a name for it. What was?

Yeah.

Frankie After Dark.

Yes, Frankie After Dark, yep.

I would do, like, late
night indie rock music

and Horoscopes and put
on my, like, sexy radio voice.

Obviously.

Give love advice.

Yeah. - Would have been good.

You'd have been good at that.

I don't know.

Dad was always so strict
about what went on air.

I remember when he was sick

and I just felt like, you know,

I have free rein to do what I want.

So I decided I was gonna
play a Rare Candies song,

and I kid you not, he
calls me from the hospital,

and was, like, yelling at
me, "Turn that shit off."

I'm like, "Dude!

You got bigger things to worry about."

Oh, sounds like him. - Hmm-mm.

While I have you here,

I did want to mention that you didn't sign

one of these papers in
here for, you know, the sell,

so I was gonna see if
you wouldn't mind just...

Are you serious? - Doing it real quick?

It'll take two seconds, so.

You know what?

You are just like him.

You only call when you need something.

What does that even mean?

It'll take two seconds.

Frankie!

Some mornings it's the
coffee that gets you going.

Other mornings, it's regret,

or a memory,

or something someone used to say

that just won't leave alone.

And some mornings a plan wakes you up.

It starts knocking before
you even open your eyes.

Like it's been sitting there all night,

waiting for you to get the hint.

But either way,

you get up,

you move,

and you do the next right thing.

And that, friends,

was this week's AG report with Bud Winters.

Up next, we have the
latest single by Cathy Jewell.

Hey! What's up?

Um, I was just calling to check on Milly.

See how things are going. - Oh.

Oh, she's good, you know,

kind of got bored of coloring,

so she wanted to pop in a movie

so we're just hanging out.

Oh, cool. Yeah.

Is everything okay?

Yep. Yeppers.

I know, I don't, yeah, I know.

I regretted it as soon as I said it.

Anyway, I was just,

I was just calling to
check on Milly, that's all.

See how it was going with y'all.

Um, yeah, she's good.

Hey, Milly, you want to say bye to mommy?

Bye, mom. Love you.

Bye babe, I love you, too.

Okay, well, I guess.

Yeah.

We'll see you tomorrow, yeah?

Yeah. Sure thing.

Okay. I'll talk to you later.

But, okay.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

I matched with this guy
who said he was a cowboy,

but then he shows up
in this dusty ass truck

wearing one of those straw
hats from a gas station,

and then proceeded to
tell me his entire life story,

like how his cousin got a DWI

and he had to reclaim his family name.

And I'm like, hello?

I do not care.

Cowboy, huh?

You've got a type. - Yeah.

And he smelled like
beef jerky and corn chips.

Well, I mean, that
could be, like, a lot worse.

I doubt it.

You remember Jake?

You're right.

So everything good with you?

Um, yeah, I mean,

last night just kind of,
like, knocked me sideways-

Same, that cowboy knocked me sideways.

Anyway, sorry.

Anyways, I've told you that
I have an older sister, right?

I think so?

Okay, well, anyways,
we don't talk, like, at all.

At least we haven't talked in a long time.

And she called me, like,
totally out of the blue

and is wanting to sell
our dad's radio station.

And, like, when she called me,

it was no, like, "Hey, how are you?

It's been a long time
since I've talked to you."

It was like, "Just here, come sign this."

Wait, your dad had a radio station?

Well, yeah, but.

Huh!

Did she say how much she's selling it for?

Well, I mean, I would think a lot.

I don't know. - Right, right.

So anyway, that reminds me,

I talked to the girls about the trip,

and I think we're just gonna
use the resort photographer,

it's like part of the
package and, like, cheaper.

And plus they do all these
dreamy edits, but, like,

I still totally want to shoot
with you when we get back.

Maybe for my birthday or something.

Yeah, that'd be fun.

Did you get
yesterday's stuff edited?

Yes, I did.

I'll send it to you tonight.
- Amazing! You're the best.

Love you!

Bud?

Bud, are you home?

Bud?

Are you in here?

Yeah, I'm over here at the truck.

There you are.

Sorry.

Guess I should have called first.

No. - Busy?

Oh, just working on this old thing.

I see that. - Hey, Jo.

Yeah?

I caught our show this morning.

Oh yeah?

I think I got a real
career in radio.

I agree.

I brought us some lunch, is Nancy around?

No, she went up to Amarillo.

Took her brother to see the doctor.

Again?

Yeah, same old, same old.

Is everything all right there, or?

Oh, yeah.

Them doctors, they just
like passing out that medicine

like candy, you know?

Yeah, I guess. Yeah.

Let me finish this up real quick.

Hold on one second.

All right. There we go.

I did get us some burgers, though.

Oh, that sounds
great, you shouldn't have.

Do you want to go inside?

No, no, here, let me just
move some stuff around.

There's a chair right over there.

Won't you grab that and you
can you sit down here with me?

Yeah. That works.

There we go.

Yeah, I know, that dust gets on everything.

That's all right. Nothing
new to me.

From your favorite spot.

Oh, you shouldn't have.

Well, I didn't figure
you'd say no to a burger.

Well, you figured right.

Yeah, you got to remember
to eat lunch sometimes too.

I know, sometimes it
just gets by you, though.

Somebody don't remind me,
I always forget to take lunch.

You gotta take a break
when a break is needed.

You're one to talk,
down at that station 24/7.

All right, you got me there.

That one's new.

What's that? What happened to the red one?

Well, I gave it to a family
at church that needed it.

She sure was a good old
work truck when I had it

But this in here will be
too when I'm done with it.

Where'd you get it from?

Oh, down at the corner at Bill's,

that old shop down there.

He sold it at a good price

'cause it needed a lot of work on it.

Yeah.

Looks like you got a lot of fixing to do.

No, it's scattered everywhere.

If you look around,
it's all over the floor.

I'll get her put back together,

I'm just a little slower than I used to be.

Well, good luck with that.

You ever think about moving closer to town?

What do you mean?

Just giving all this
up and moving closer.

I mean, it's such a hassle for you.

Well, no.

You see, this was my daddy's
farm and his daddy before him,

and it'll go down to my
grandson one day if he wants it.

Oh, sure, I've thought
that it might be nice

to go drink coffee every morning

with the old man down at
the Turnaround Cafe, but.

Your favorite activity, yeah.

But you know, I love farming.

And this is where I love being.

You do?

This is the life I've chosen.

It's exactly what I love.

Now, on a serious note,

are you going to share them fries,

or we gonna sit around
here and be serious all day?

Have as many as you'd like.

Okay, I'm thinking ethereal goddess.

Absolutely. - Yeah. Yeah, okay.

You look great. This is awesome.

Thanks.

You had really good vision with this.

Glad you were willing to do it.

Of course. That's cute.

Oh, yeah, okay,

I like the thing you're

Do you mind if I change this song?

No, yeah, yeah, go ahead.

I have to change my lens

What do you think about this?

That's great.

That was Patric
Johnston with "American Father."

I know it's not for everyone

but if you're out there listening,

you'll know it's for you.

"You said you'd fix
the air conditioning."

I said I'd do it next week.

"Call Scott today."

I'll call Scott.

Shoot, I messed it up.

That's okay, you can redo it.

You notice I'm doing
two voices, is that cool?

That's a good idea, innit it?

Your commercial, so.

Okay. - You can.

Yeah, I think I'd
like to play both parts.

Okay, yeah, that's fine.

"You said you'd fix
the air conditioning."

I said I'd do it next week.

"Call slot today."

Shoot.

Can you edit this?

Why don't, no, I can't.

Why don't you take a sip of water?

That might help calm
your nerves a little bit?

Yeah, that's normal.

You know, nerves are normal.

I've never done a
radio commercial, but I have,

I was a child actor for a couple of years.

Were you now?

Let's go to the end part real quick.

So at the end, I want us together to say,

"If you're hot, call Scott."

Try it with me.

And me?

Both of us. Try it with me.

If you're hot, call Scott.

If you're hot, call Scott.

Perfect. - Okay.

All right, let's... Together.

Sure.

Okay, ready?

If you're hot, call Scott... Hold on.

From three.

Okay, one, two... No, from three.

I'll count it down.

All right. Please do.

Five, four, you count it down for me.

All right.

I'm gonna go from three.

Three, two, one, if you're hot-

Say go, on go. - Okay.

We'll try that. - Sure.

Three, two, one, go-

If you're-

- If you're hot, call Scott.
- Hot, call Slot.

Shoot. - Perfect.

That's the one. That's great.

That was good.

Do you actually fix people's
air conditioning units?

No.

Hey.

Hi.

Sorry.

You scared me.

I wasn't expecting company.

I wasn't
really expecting to come.

Do you want a water or something?

No, I'm
good. Thank you, though.

Hey, you know who I saw the other day?

Your friend, what's her name?

Becca.

Who?

Becca, you know, she used to live,

like, across the street.

Used to play all the time.

Oh, went to like middle school with her?

Yeah.

We were like friends in sixth grade.

That was a long time ago.

Yeah, I always thought
she was really sweet.

Sweet? - Yeah.

No, she was, like, whacked
out on acid in high school.

Like total weirdo.

Oh.

Funny story, I had this guy come by.

He was recording a
commercial for his AC business.

Insufferable.

It took him seven
tries, and he's still said,

"Remember to call Slot" instead of Scott.

It's his name.

I mean, how do you get that wrong?

Call Slot, I kind of like it.

It has a ring to it.

I think you should have kept that one.

I am tempted, to be honest.

You should. - I should.

You'll never believe what I found earlier.

Come look at this.

Oh my God. Is that you?

Yeah.

You look exactly the same.

Yeah.

Except I do think

that I grew into my ears unlike like you.

That's nice. Thank you.

Yeah, no problem.

Shit.

Are you expecting someone?

No.

Hey! - Oh, hi, Mike.

I'm so glad I got you.

Actually, now's not a great time.

- Hey, is that your sister?
- Let's go outside.

Yes, but... Hi, I'm Mike.

We haven't met. - How about we go outside?

This is actually kind of
perfect, you know that?

For your both to be here.

No, it's not.

Now's not a good time,
like I said, she just got here,

so you're gonna have to
get in your car and leave.

I was just driving by, and I figured,

why not swing through,

see how things are coming along?

Yeah, I'm sure that
you were thinking that.

But we haven't done anything,
nothing's final right now.

But you signed.

Technically, yes, I did.

Jo, is everything okay?

Just, I got this.

Okay, go back inside, please.

Okay, well, look, I got paper here, so.

Well, we can do, so
we could just go inside.

Knock this, I won't take
no more than two minutes,

I promise, I promise.

Please.

I would really love just
some time, if you don't mind.

Please. Person to person.

Can you just give us-

If it was up to me,

I would love to give you some more time,

but we're just at a point

where I need to show my clients

that we're moving forward on this.

Okay, but this means something to me.

This is my father's business,

my dad built this radio station.

This means something to me.

Okay, so if you have
any kindness in you at all,

if you have any thoughts about
anyone other than yourself,

you'll give me space and time.

I get that, but look,

I'm trying to make it where we all win.

Nobody wins in this
scenario except for you, okay?

You want to tear this down? For what?

So you can build some
burger joint or something?

Wait, they're tearing dad's station down?

Okay. Okay.

Come on, come on, guys,
we're all adults here, okay?

Look, you win money, you both win money.

You get a chance to not
have to come out here

every single morning.

I don't mind coming out
here every single morning.

And money doesn't mean
everything to me like it does to you.

Okay?

So, please, for the last time.

Look. - Give us some time.

I don't mean to overstep,

but offers like this,

they don't wait around forever, okay?

Okay, I understand that.

Whatever.

She said she'd call you later.

All right.

Let's put a bookmark
on this and revisit, okay?

Please, please think about this, okay?

Okay, well, please, please

don't come by here so often.

Give us space.

Thank, y'all.

It was nice to meet you, by the way.

Bye.

I can't stand that guy.

You really gave it to him.

I'm, like, weirdly impressed right now.

Never seen that side of Jo.

Thanks.

So, how long did you know

that they were gonna tear down the station?

I mean, nobody's said
anything for sure yet.

It's just kind of up in
the air for right now.

But, I mean, a guy like that,
you can imagine, you know,

just worried about how much
money he can make from a sale.

How much money am I making from it?

Frankie. - I have to ask.

Now you care?

I mean, a little.

Frickin' brat.

There's literally so much of this stuff.

Yeah, it's a mess in here.

God, if I had to count
the amount of records

that are in here.

Yeah, but they're cool

And then all of these,

they don't even have a case.

Mystery piles.

Yeah.

You take a look.

Record girl.

So what is up with that guy?

Who? Mike? - Yeah.

He's pushy.

I should have put an
end to it a long time ago,

to be honest, but here we are.

So does that mean

that we're not gonna be able to sell or?

He'll be back tomorrow.

I don't know if I have,
like, truly made up my mind.

I was gonna ask you that.

Are you set on selling it or?

At this point, I don't
know if I'm set on anything.

To be fair.

Oh, look at this.

Was that dad's? - Yeah.

He always used to wear these hats.

I wonder if
it still smells like him.

I mean, it's been sitting in a box.

Oh no.

It smells like dirt.

I don't know if I want to smell it.

Yeah, this is not like him at all.

Not that I remember, at least.

Maybe underneath
the layers of dirt, it does,

but right now it's dirt.

Yeah. Okay.

Sorry, dad.

Oh my God.

What?

Look.

There is no freaking
way that that thing works.

Oh, I'm sure it does.

It's been sitting in a box.

Oh my God, no! Frankie!

Say cheese, Josephine! - Frankie! No!

Frankie!

Are you serious?

Oh, that's gonna turn out good.

We're making memories.

Okay, well, you know,

you're not supposed to shake it, right?

Really?

Yeah, aren't you, like, a photographer?

- I don't take Polaroids.
- I've always heard

you're not supposed to actually shake them.

It's just a song.

Oh, I guess I'll listen
to you and put it there.

Wait.

How are you and Ryan?

What do you mean?

Like, are you all good?

Well, we're separated,
if that's what you're asking.

Really? - Yeah, for like a year.

Oh, I did not know that.

Yeah, I mean,

he's fine.

It's not like it wasn't a loud separation.

We were, we were quiet about it.

It was just for the best.

You know, we couldn't do
the whole marriage thing.

It was more,

you know, growing up with mom and dad,

I don't even know if you
really remember any of that.

Do you?

You were so little. I don't know.

Mom and dad? - Yeah.

I remember how it felt.

I remember the arguments.

I mean, not the arguments,

but I just remember the feeling

of knowing that they were arguing

and being in my room a lot.

I didn't want to be out there.

That's it, so.

I don't remember much, so.

Well, you're lucky,

See if your Polaroid developed.

Oh, the one that
is a picture of my hand?

It looks great.

Oh, yeah, see? - Captures your attitude.

Oh, yeah. Talk to the hand.

I'll give you that one.

You can have that. - Looks good.

Oh my gosh.

This is like a bunch of IRS shit.

Why don't we burn that one?

Yeah?

No, hand it to me.

I'll put it in the deal with later pile.

It's a lot to deal with later.

Yeah, well, if you want to help me out,

if you see anything
that you want, feel free.

You said you listen to records, right?

So I present to you records.

Look how cute you were.

That's cute.

You were so little. - I know.

I was so sweet.

Yeah, unlike now.

Ha ha.

I'm kidding.

That was fun.

Dad looked so grumpy.

Yeah, he looked pissed.

I know.

Someone dumped your Cheerios, I guess.

Hey, can I ask you a question and, like,

please don't get weird about it?

Maybe.

Okay.

So after the divorce,

why did you stop talking to mom?

You know how you were
always kind of distant with dad?

Like, you just never felt
like you clicked with him,

I guess?

Yeah.

It's kind of how it was with mom for me.

You know, she just,

she never knew how to talk to me,

or maybe I didn't know how
to hear her or whatever it was.

I made excuses for her for
years and years and years,

and I feel like I know, I was the only one

that ever reached out to try and, like,

have something, anything at all.

Yeah.

I just got tired of it.

I called her a few months ago,

and, that was the first time
I called her in a long time,

but she never calls me.

So I checked in on her and she
told me she was doing better,

which I don't even know what that means.

Better from what?

I don't know, but she
didn't even ask about me,

like, not a single question. - Shocker.

Shocker.

It does not surprise me at all.

Yeah, I guess it's just
a little disappointing.

Yeah.

But I mean, that's why I try so hard

with Milly now, you know?

After growing up like
that and being raised,

feeling like I was just living
with a stranger, you know,

because she was never really round.

That's the last thing I want for Milly.

How is Milly?

She's good. She's so good.

Yeah. She's happy.

I can't remember the last time I saw her.

I think it's like when
she was two, I think?

Yeah.

Yeah, that would have been probably around

the last time you saw her.

Wow. - Time flies.

How old is she now?

Six.

Oh my God.

Fast, I'm telling you.

I feel horrible.

I'm like, the worst aunt ever.

Bring over a bag of
candy and all is forgiven.

She's pretty simple.

Noted, I'll keep that in mind.

Oh, hey.

I found something earlier.

What?

I think we should listen to it.

Oh, no. What is it?

Dun-dun-dun!

Oh my gosh.

Frankie 6 calls into show.

Play it, play it, play it!

I used to call in all the time.

I know.

Wow, okay.

Let's see.

How do you even work this?

Eject.

It probably goes the other way.

You probably know more
about this, you're older than me.

Yeah, I'm just,

I'm enjoying watching
you struggle, honestly.

Okay.

I think it goes like this.

Unless it's just.

You're listening to 94.1 KSSL,

the greatest country music ever recorded.

Hello, friends.

Where are you gonna be tomorrow?

Perhaps tomorrow you'll find yourself

down on Broadway Avenue

for the 4th on Broadway Festival.

We'll have food and
music and even a parade.

Be a lot of fun for the whole family,

and we're gonna be
broadcasting live from down there.

So if you do come down
and you happen to see me,

gimme a handshake... His accent.

Or a big ol' hug around the neck.

He was so cheesy.

I don't know. He was sweet.

Yeah.

Hello, caller.

You're on the air live.

Hey, dad, what
time are you gonna get off work?

Oh, hey,
Frankie, a little after four.

Can we go to the park?

Sure.

Okay. Bye.

Ladies and gentlemen,
that was my sweet Frankie.

My little girl.

Who knows?

Maybe someday you'll hear her on the air

just like her old dad.

Well, this one's for my little girls.

I love you all and I'll be home soon.

♪ Me to say something ♪

That was so cute.

Yeah.

Nostalgia.

I didn't even know he saw me.

Frankie. - No, I mean,

I wanted to be a part of this so bad,

and I didn't think that he noticed me.

I just wasn't a part of this, like, at all.

He saw you.

Well he didn't act like it.

I get that, that's fair.

And none of this is your fault.

He is the adult here.

He's the one that should
have reached out to you.

He's the one that should
have made the effort

to be a part of your life, and he didn't.

And I hate that.

But we're here now.

I don't know.

Frankie, we're here now.

Why not now?

What do you mean?

Your own radio show
like you always wanted.

What do you mean?

I'm serious. Why not?

How do we even do that?

Last I checked, this is ours.

We can do whatever we want.

Okay.

Frankie After dark.

Isn't that what it was called?

Let's do it!

You'll have to show me
the ropes, because I don't,

I don't even know how to... That I can do.

Okay. - That I can do.

Okay.

Okay, have a seat. - Okay.

Okay.

Now, all you're gonna do,

I'm just gonna turn these up.

Okay. - And then...

Do you know what you're gonna say?

No. - Okay.

That's okay.

All right. Ready?

And go.

Hello!

I don't know what to say.

Say anything at all. - Okay, okay.

Hello, everybody.

You might be wondering

if this is Frankie from a long time ago

when I used to bug my
dad while he was on air.

Anyways, so we are
doing Frankie After Dark.

So yeah.

Please call in, request some songs,

and maybe you'll get
a little love advice, too.

Yeah. Call us.

We'll be here.

Perfect.

Okay. - Okay.

Now we're gonna wait for somebody to call.

Okay.

Oh, wow. Okay.

Hello, you're listening to
Frankie from Frankie After Dark.

Who am I speaking to?

So, this girl that I've been dating,

and she broke my heart.

I don't know what to really do,

I've tried to reach out and call her.

And I don't know, man,
she's just been ghosting me.

Girls.

Well, I don't know if I
have the best advice for you,

but I can tell you my personal experience,

I would just keep calling her.

Just bug her.

Just bug her, and maybe,

maybe she'll realize how
desperate you are for her

and she'll want you back.

Worst case scenario, I mean,
your heart's already broken,

so there isn't much to it.

But best case scenario,
maybe she calls you back

and, hey, something
beautiful could come after that.

Anyways, thank you so much for calling.

You are listening to Frankie After Dark.

I think that was pretty...
We got another caller.

We got another caller, ready, ready?

Okay. - Okay. You're on.

Hello, you're listening
to Frankie After Dark.

Thank you so much for calling.

♪ I did my best to ♪

♪ Release you ♪

♪ I'm not tied to you forever ♪

Okay, well, Jerry, I'm
going to just let you know,

heartbreak is hard.

And especially when you lose someone.

So I think you just need
to focus on yourself.

Maybe have a little bubble bath.

Maybe go out, find someone.

Okay, listen.

Okay.

Listen, ma'am.

You've got a few options, okay?

One, you can turn your radio off.

It's really not that hard.

B, you can, you know, switch
the radio to something else.

I can even give you a tutorial
because it's not that hard.

Or three, you can get
the stick out of your ass

and listen to our good music.

♪ So who would you say ♪

♪ I want you, bad ♪

I haven't drank that
much wine in a long time.

I'm so tired.

It's really weird being in here.

Why?

I don't know,

I always thought It'd
be haunted or something.

I mean, I guess it is,

just not in the spooky
kind of way or whatever.

What do you remember most about dad?

His eyes.

Yeah?

They were kind.

Kind of like yours.

Thanks.

I just remember that peppermint smell.

He always smelled like peppermint.

Yeah, he did.

I'm gonna miss that smell.

Me, too.

You know, you actually do
really remind me of him a lot.

It's the peppermint.

Definitely.

Yeah. - Yeah. That's it.

That's the one.

Good morning, sunshine.

Good morning.

How did you sleep?

Terrible.

You snore so loud.

That's a lie and you know it, I do not.

How would you know?

You're the one asleep.

Yeah, well, I feel like Ryan

would have said something by now.

Maybe why he left you. Man needs rest.

Okay, sis.

I left him for your information.

Now here. Shut up.

Not
one of your watery coffee.

It's not watery.

Tastes like dirty dishwater.

How do you even know
what that tastes like?

How do you make your coffee, then?

Strong.

Ew.

And you don't get a headache?

It wakes me up.

Yeah, whatever works, I guess.

Oh my God.

Oh, my God, I gotta go get Milly.

Oh yeah. - Here.

I have stuff too. - I'm so sorry.

Do you want me to get the door?

Yeah, thanks.

Oh, wait. I forgot my phone.

Oh, here, I'll let you back in.

It happens all the time,
yeah, I do it all the time.

Oh, is it closed?

Oh, yeah. - Oh thanks.

Well.

Yeah. Got it. - Oh, all good?

Yeah.

Perfect.

- So, last night was fun.
- It was really fun, yeah.

Should do it again some time.

Yeah.

I'll call you.

Yeah. Okay. - All right. See you.

Bye. - Bye.

Oh my goodness!

This looks great, Milly!

What do we got here?

I am holding hands with a dinosaur.

And a ice cream and a rainbow.

Oh, my goodness.

How'd it go?

Great. We had fun.

Good.

You got a sec? - Yeah. Of course.

Milly, mommy's taking your chair.

Just for a minute.

She's such a little artist, man.

I know.

She did not
get that from me, though.

Oh, well, yeah, that's clear to see.

Your cabinets that you painted,

if that's what you want to call it.

What? - Just saying,

they looked better when I did 'em.

You know what? I did my best, okay?

Sure.

Well, so what's up?

Something I've been
thinking about for a while.

I think I'm gonna do it.

I think I think I'm gonna sell the station.

Really?

Yeah.

Is that a decision or
is that today's mood?

Valid question, I guess.

But, I mean, it feels more like a decision.

I mean.

There's this guy that approached me

that he says he's got buyers and,

can you believe it?

People want to buy that place.

But it just, it feels like it's time,

but the only hold up is, you
know, getting Frankie to sign,

and, you know-

Of course. - It's been a process, so.

Of course, your sister.

What's that supposed to mean?

So what, like y'all just
tag team in this project now

and she suddenly walks in
and everything's resolved?

Oh, gosh, Ryan, that's
not fair and you know it.

She ghosts you for years.

Like, she doesn't show up to birthdays.

She doesn't know Milly.

And she doesn't know you.

Like, what, she gets to just walk in

and suddenly be a part
of this big, poetic goodbye?

Gimme a break.

She was his daughter, too, okay?

Like, she's trying.

Trying what?

Playing catch up?

It's like, you carry the station.

You carried her.

You carried your dad.

Okay, Ryan, you don't think I know that?

No, honestly, I think you buried it.

Well.

Even if that's a little bit true,

I still haven't made any final decisions.

It's still mine until I make up my mind.

It's just I wanted to talk to you

about this in person because, you know,

we're still technically married and-

Technically.

Yeah, I mean, it's the right thing to do.

Well, look, all I can say is,

just remember to make room for yourself

and whatever's next.

Yeah.

Easier said than done, no?

It always is.

Yeah.

Can I get some ice cream?

Sure, I could go for some ice cream.

Just don't let her con you
into getting an extra scoop

like she did me yesterday.

I'm sorry, what?

Y'all got ice cream yesterday?

Oops.

Oh my gosh, I'm a sucker.

Maybe worse than you.

Nah, no, definitely not worse than you.

Easy.

She'll get anything she wants from you.

You can't say no.

- Somebody's got to.
- She's pretty cute, though.

Is that your favorite? - Yeah.

What'd you get? - I got coffee flavor.

Do you wanna try? - Yeah.

Yeah? - Yeah.

You don't like it? - No.

I got vanilla.

I think it's pretty good.

You got vanilla?

That's what you always get, every time.

I got it yesterday, too.

Yeah?

Yeah, you got two.

You're sneaky.

Is it good?

We should go to the park after this.

Oh yeah. You think? - Hmm-mm.

But we should go home

and get our coloring
stuff and color at the park.

Color at the park?

Color at the tables.

How are we going to take all of our-

How are we gonna get all of our stuff?

Use baggies and put it in the car.

We could probably put

maybe like your... Color pencils.

Little color pencil box in your backpack,

and then it'll have to be a coloring book

in case it gets windy.

Yeah, 'cause it might be windy.

Yeah.

Who's that?

Hey, this is Frankie,

sorry for missing your call.

If you wanna book a
session, go to my website

and I'll get back to
you as soon as possible.

Thank you.

So, ice cream and park today.

Maybe we could pack some
sandwiches, do a little picnic?

Yeah. - That'll be fun.

And we should do have
a picnic on the playset.

On the playset? - Yep.

Can I fit? - Yeah.

Oh, shit.

Does your phone not work or something?

How did you find my apartment?

It's on your website.

I'm not trying to go full big sister mode,

but it seems a little unsafe.

Thanks for the tip.

Look can I come in?

It's cute.

Yeah.

Would've killed for a place
like this when I was your age.

So what's up?

What's wrong with you, Frankie?

What's wrong with me?

I've just been really busy,

so I don't know what you're talking about.

Okay, and I've been really busy,

and everybody's really busy.

Honest, I mean, everybody's really busy.

It doesn't take much to answer a phone call

or to, I don't know, show up?

To show up?

Sorry, Jo, I'm just not you.

Okay, well, nobody's telling you to be me

or to not have your own life.

I'm just saying,

last night meant something to me, okay?

I had fun and I don't know,

from the looks of it, it
seemed like you did, too.

And I thought that that whole moment-

Jo, you know what's really funny?

I've spent my entire life wanting to hide

and wanting to be away from everything.

I didn't want to get in anyone's way.

And from doing that, I thought
that I was keeping myself

from screwing everything up

and screwing up everyone else's life.

And it turned out I was,

I just I wasn't anything, and
everyone else relied on you.

I mean, you're Jo, you're Jo.

So I'm sorry that I don't show up,

but it's because everyone relied on you.

Like, mom relied on you.

Dad relied on you.

I mean, God, dad relied on you

and the show, that was yours, and I just,

I just wanted to matter.

I wanted to matter to dad,

and I wanted to matter to you, and I just.

And now I don't even know, he's dead, so.

Listen to me, Frankie.

You mattered to him.

And I can guarantee you matter to me.

That's why I'm standing
in front of you right now.

I came over here

to try at least.

And I want you to know
that you do matter to me.

And I do want you in our lives.

'Cause I miss you.

You're part of me.

And I love you.

I love you, too.

This is really embarrassing, but,

you know, I really wasn't
even sure if you'd be here

or answer the door to me.

I may or may not have hired

the girl next door to come and watch Milly

so I could come over here and talk to you.

But I told her I'd be
gone, like, five minutes,

and I don't have a watch on,

but took me at least that
to drive over here and more.

Okay, I'm really sorry, but next time,

can you at least pick up your stupid phone

So I don't have to beat your door down?

I'll try. - Okay.

Bye. - Bye.

Hey, Jo?

Can you tell Milly I said hi?

I will.

Goodnight.

Hey.

Hey. - Thank you again.

No, it's fine. - Just take it, please.

Thank you.

Have a good night.

Some mornings you wake up with a plan.

It tells you when it's time to let go,

to move on,

to stay.

And some mornings the plan wakes you up.

It starts knocking before
you even open your eyes,

like it's been sitting there all night,

waiting for you to get the hint.

Sometimes it's the coffee
that gets you moving.

Other times, it's memory, or regret,

or something your dad used to say

that just won't leave you alone.

You spend your whole life waiting

for someone else to make the call,

to tell you when it's
time to let go or move on,

or to stay.

Oh, wait, I forgot my phone.

Oh, here, I'll let you back in.

It happens all the time,
yeah, I do it all the time.

But the truth is, that voice never comes.

And if it does, it sounds
an awful lot like your own.

Maybe letting go isn't about walking away.

Maybe it's about carrying it differently.

We spend so much time
trying to outrun the past,

trying to fix what we couldn't say,

what we didn't do.

Maybe all we need to do is show up

and start again.

Because legacy isn't
something we leave behind,

it's something we live into.

It's something we pass back and forth

like stories or the keys to the front door.

And sometimes starting over
doesn't come with a big moment,

just someone willing to walk beside you.

Brat.

You ready?

Yeah.

I think so.

Not all wounds heal clean.

And not every ending
feels like it's the end.

But this feels like a start.

Hug.

Come here. - Come here, yes.

We're doing it.

We're doing it.

Scene four, take five.

Scene five, take two, soft sticks.
