All language subtitles for Nashville E02

Previously on "Nashville"...

Juliette Barnes went
after concertgoers...

Nobody likes you!

Excuse me.

You know we're trying
to put on a show here.

What is going on?

I struggle with depression.

And I'm putting
my tour on hold.

What do you want from me?

I want to help you
change your life.

How am I supposed to
do this by myself?

So just imagine
I'm up there with you.

How's La-La-Land?

I almost did something
real stupid.

Say, you getting a tattoo?

No, worse.

You take good care
of yourself, Deacon.

You too, Jess.

Oh, thank you very much.

Appreciate it.

Oh, we should get some of...
Nope.

What time is
your show tonight?

- You coming?
- You kidding me?

It's a small show
and really rough set.

Oh, come on, please.

Hey, as your uncle,
your head of your label,

your biggest fan, yes,
I'm going to your show tonight.

You're sweet.
Thank you.

Ugh.

What are we doing?

Oh, was that Gunnar?
- Yep.

You just gonna stare
at that zucchini?

Stare at this zucchini.

I'd appreciate it if
you did too, there you go.

That rough, huh?

Yeah, well, we tried talking.
That didn't work.

So now we're not talking.

And I don't know what the
etiquette is for public run-ins.

And here we are.

Well, he's gone.
Can we stop doing this?

Yes.

Oh!

- Hey!
- Hi! Hi.

We keep bumping
into people here.

It's been forever.

Yes, totally. Hi.
Nice to see you.

You, too.

I didn't expect it to be
so long since we saw each other.

Yeah. Well, you know,
time flies

when you're
raising kids, right?

It does, right? Yeah.

Well, speaking of kids,
I gotta go pick up mine

from soccer practice, so...

Oh, all right.
Tell 'em good luck.

I, well, it's practice, but...

- Oh, no, well...
- I will.

- Okay. Thank you.
- Good seeing you.

- All right.
- All right.

Bye, Scarlett.
- Take care.

Bye.

You've got to call her.

What are you talking about?

Don't hide your feelings.

This from a woman that's
hiding behind an eggplant!

- Zucchini.
- Whatever.

- That's completely different.
- How's that different?

Because Gunnar and
I ran our course

and y'all chickened out
at the starting gate.

- I didn't chicken out.
- You did.

No.

Oh. Hey, buddy, what's up?

Oh, I saw Scarlett at
the market and she avoided me.

Or I guess it's
remotely possible

she never saw me
in the first place.

Anyway, I should probably not
get so worked up about it.

What do you think?

I think you're right.

What, that she saw me
or she didn't?

That you're obsessing.

Look, you two are on
different paths now, okay?

And part of that is
getting used to the idea

that you can't be worried
about what the other person

is thinking and feeling
at all times.

Yeah. You're right.

Hey, you still got
that gig on Thursday?

Yeah. What about it?

I was just wondering
if you wanted me

to play with you again.

Oh. Well, look, man.

I really appreciate you
bailing me out the other night.

I mean, I really do,
but I'm okay.

And I got to learn to do it by
myself at some point, right?

Well, yeah, sure.

For the record,
I wasn't offering

because I was worried about you.

- Yeah, you were.
- No, I wasn't.

Well, then why?

Because it was fun.

Fun?

Yeah, it was fun!
You heard of it?

I haven't felt that free
on stage in a long time.

So what could be more fun than
playing with your best friend?

Avery?

No. I was talking...

No, I'm kidding man, yeah.
It was pretty fun.

It was.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Mmm.

What's up?

Nothing.

Why are staring at me
while I eat?

I'm not.

I just, I got a name
for someone today,

someone that I thought
maybe you could... talk to.

Like a shrink?

Yeah, and I know your
opinion of that profession.

So before you get mad at me,
I'm just worried about you.

I'm not mad. I'm not.
I know I need help.

And it just so happens
I have a plan for that.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna go see
Darius Enright tomorrow

and see what his
whole thing's about.

Oh.

What?

Nothing, nothing.

I guess I just thought you were
talking about seeing a doctor.

He is a doctor.

I mean, a medical one.

Thank you.

Darius has written
four bestselling books

that have been translated into
over 60 different languages.

How many books has
your doctor written?

I don't know.

See?

Look, I understand you're
asking me to get help.

And I'm telling you calmly
that's exactly what I'm doing.

Just in my own way.

What more do you want from me?

Twice in one day, huh?

Guilty as charged.

And to what do
I owe this honor?

Well, um, I just, you know,
when I ran into you today,

I just thought...

it's been
a while, you know.

Uh-huh.

And, uh...

even though it's been a
long time, I just...

I don't know.

I thought maybe, you know,
it was a sign.

Or... you know,
maybe I was wrong.

Maybe you and I...

You know, or not. I mean...

No, no.
I'm just surprised, I guess.

Uh, if it's not...

No, no. Um...
That... that, uh, sounds lovely.

It's just, um...
Are you sure?

Yeah, uh, yeah.
Why?

Oh, gosh, this is tough.

I can take it.

I don't know.

It just seems like not
that long ago

when you weren't ready, so...

Well, if I recall,
you weren't exactly ready

to rush into anything either.

Yeah, that's... that's true.

So I guess I thought,
you know, that was then.

This is now, so...

Okay, yeah.

What... Yeah?

Yes. Let's, uh... Yeah.

Okay.

* Looking for the woman
in this girl *

* Ain't no normal
in this world *

* Always hard to find the
path your feet should follow *

* It's enough to leave you
emptied out and hollow *

* And they tell you here's
the truth you need to swallow *

* Then they put you
on a tilt-a-whirl *

* There ain't no normal
in this world *

* Oh, you can pray for
the waves to die *

* Or just decide
to ride the curl *

* There ain't no normal
in this world *

Wow. Gym again?

Oh, you think this work
of art maintains itself?

I don't know, man.

Just seems like every time
I turn around these days,

you're either on your way
there or on your way back.

That's the thing
about exercise.

You're kind of supposed
to do it every day.

Really?

I don't know how you do it.

I gotta take my shirt off
for a photoshoot next week.

That's motivation enough.

Woo! Can I come?

You can shave my back.

I'm good.

So happy to have you back,
Ms. Barnes.

Oh, well, I'm so happy
to be sitting here waiting.

- Hmm.
- So, is Darius available?

I don't have that
much more time.

Unfortunately, Darius has
an extremely demanding schedule

that has him on the
road most days.

Yep.

But he asked that I give
you a personalized introduction

to what we do here.
Will that be okay?

Sure.

Intentional communities
like ours now

exist in 29 cities
around the world.

Intentional?

It's just like-minded
people who've decided

that the workshops,

transformative though
they are, weren't enough.

So here, we're able to
support each other year-round

as we strive to be
our best selves.

How exactly do you do that?

Well, most days it's like
living anywhere else.

We go to our jobs
or schools during the day.

But in the evening,
we do things together.

Like meditate, cook, and
we give more of ourselves,

much more than we ever realized
possible, to other people.

How much more?

30% of our income.

And at least one day
per week of good work.

So today, a group of us are
going to be lending our hand

to an affordable housing project
just outside the city.

Would you like to join us?

I... I thought I was gonna
come here to talk to Darius.

I am not dressed for it

and I've got an appointment
in the city.

These are all really
lame excuses, aren't they?

Maddie-boo.

So hungry.
There better still be leftovers.

- There are.
- Thank God.

What's up with you?

I'm just trying to find
a place to eat.

You know, good food,
nothing fancy.

A place where you can talk
without a whole lot of noise.

Like a date spot?

No, not a date spot.
Just... dinner spot.

Who's the lucky lady?

Tell you what.

If it turns out to be
halfway anything,

I'll let you
know then, okay?

Well, if you throw
in $40 bucks,

I will forget to tell
Daphne maybe.

You're terrible.

Well, that looks like
that must be

from that
Jonah what's-his-name.

What?
I can't read you back?

It's just so confusing.

What's confusing?

Yesterday we had this
awesome time together,

like really awesome.
- Mm-hmm.

And now he's taking like
hours to respond to my text.

Can I see it?

You're not maybe making too
much of it if it's just hours?

No. Look.

I texted him at 11 last night.

He doesn't even reply
till noon today.

He doesn't even ask questions.

He's not even trying to
like engage in a conversation.

These are all signals
that you look for

when you're texting someone.

- They are?
- Yes.

Hi, family!

- Hey.
- Hello.

Hey, you know a good
restaurant somewhere in town?

Like downtown maybe?
Germantown or something?

You took my advice.
I'm so proud of you.

I'm not taking advice,
all right?

Please, I'm just trying
to find a place

to eat some dinner,
that's all.

Okay, grouchy.

I'm not...

- I'll talk to you in a bit.
- I love you, baby.

I love you.

Hey, what was going on
with you last night?

Seemed like something
was off after the show.

Oh, I don't know, I just...

I felt his absence.

Look, I'm sure it must be
weird up there by yourself.

But, believe me,
it'll get better with time.

Yeah.

It's not that
I'm not okay without Gunnar.

Because I actually am.

It's just without him up there,

I'm kind of starting to wonder
why I'm doing it, you know?

No, actually,
I don't follow.

The performance, the lights,
crowds, tension, all that.

It was his dream.
It was never mine.

And now it's just me up there.

I kind of don't really
know if it's what I want.

Listen to me.

All that stuff, Gunnar might
have coaxed it outta you.

But that is you.
That is your talent.

That is all you, okay?

Thank you.

I don't know.

Yeah, well, I do know.

Your songs,
they say something.

And that'd just...

I'm sorry.
I think it'd be a shame if,

you know, they didn't
have an audience.

Thanks.

Speaking of which,
somebody just asked me

if you would like to take
part in a guitar pull.

Maybe it'd be a good way
for you to sort of,

you know, remember
the fun of it.

I'll think about it?

You think about it.

I'll think about it
while you're on your date.

So what kind of experience
do you have on a worksite?

None.

All right, then we will start
you out with something simple.

All right.

All these walls have
to be insulated

before we can seal them up.
All right?

That's where you come in.

Yeah, that's right.

Oh, no.

This, I'm pretty sure,
is a hazard.

You leave this in my hands,
somebody's gonna get hurt.

It's perfectly safe,
all right?

Just watch out you
don't touch the fiberglass

with your bare skin,
all right?

Leaves a nasty rash.

You know I can't
really do this, right?

Why not?

Well, I got into an
accident a year ago.

I shouldn't...

And you made
a remarkable recovery.

You're pretty strong
when you put your mind to it.

Thank you. I am.

But this thing's
the size of my head

and this really
isn't my kind of task.

You know, I actually
think this is

the exact kind of task
you need.

I'll come check in
on you later.

Here you go.

* I've watched you
watch me dance *

* And tip-toe all around it

* Love makes one cautious

* When you think you
finally found it *

* Wore out both my sleeves

* Till my heart
showed completely *

* You've got me right
where you want me *

* There's no use even

* Finishing this conversation

* Kiss me till
I can't breathe *

* There's no negotiation

* This deal is done, you won

* You got your
hands full, honey *

* You've got me right
where you want me *

* You've got me right
where you want me *

I love you!

Thank you!

- I love you!
- Thank you.

- I love you!
I love you.

Oh, hey.

Which one of us you
think she's talking to?

I'm pretty sure
she's talking to you, man.

Hey, which one of
us you talking to?

You!

Honey, you are beautiful.

But you know you're
not my type, right?

Now this guy, however...

- No, no, no.
- Yes.

One of the saddest human
beings I've ever known.

He is so lonely and available!

Please take him!
- I'll take him!

- All right.
Thank you, thank you.

Sold to the highest bidder!

To you guys, cheers.

Cheers, man.

Honestly, though,
what did you think?

Honestly, I think
you guys were having

a little too much fun.

- Yeah.
- Wait, what does that mean?

It means I'm jealous.

You guys are having
a blast up there.

Well, so join us
next time, man.

Come play with us.

Aw, I wish, but I can't.

Why not?

Well, first of all, haven't we
already been down that road?

And, besides, man, I got
my own band to worry about now.

Well, no one's telling you
to give up your own thing.

It could be like a...
like a side project.

Raconteurs.
Or the Highwaymen.

Yeah.

Look, I would, but Juliette's
in a weird place right now.

So I'm double duty
with Cadence.

And it's just...
it's not a good time.

Well, seems like
all that stress

is exactly why you need
to come play with us.

Well, maybe when you have
a kid and an ex-wife... wife...

- Baby mama?
- Yeah, whatever.

Maybe then you'll understand.

- All right.
End of discussion.

For now.

Ow! Oh!

Everything okay?

Does it look like it?

There's ice in the cooler.

Oh!
Can you get me some?

It's in the van.

Excuse me?

Juliette, nobody's
making you stay here.

But so long as you're here,

you'll be treated
like everybody else.

I got news for you.

I'm not like everyone else.

I'm leaving.

When people hand us things,
we grow weak.

When they refuse us,
we rise to the challenge.

Darius says that a lot.

These things we do,
this good work,

is not really just
about giving back.

It's also about moving
away from victimhood

and realizing your own power.

Stay or go.

It's your choice.

Hey, did you understand
anything in algebra?

Not a single word.

Okay, I'm definitely calling
you about it later then.

There's Jake.

He is so weird.
What is he even doing?

I don't know.

Whatever.

- You came!
- Hey!

I said I would, didn't I?

I know.

It's just, um... it's
really hard for me to understand

how you're like
this famous person.

But you're also
like my friend.

Come on.

- Is this one yours?
- Yep.

Oh, my goodness.
I'm so proud of you. It's great.

Don't be.
It's just a student show.

They pick one of each
of our paintings

so no one's
feelings get hurt.

Come on, baby,
it's a masterpiece.

I love it.

- Hi.
- Mom, this is Scarlett.

Scarlett, this is
my mom, Jennifer.

So nice to meet you.

Well, Nadi here never
shuts up about you.

You meant a lot to me.

I mean, even when
I thought I was alone

I never really was
'cause I had your music.

It helped me through
a really tough time.

I feel a lot better now.

- I'm so glad.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Hold on just a second, okay?
I'll be right back.

- Okay.
- Hey.

We don't got to eat there.
We can go anywhere you want.

No, no, no.
That's not it.

It's just, um...

You can't make me!

My son is having a bit of
a meltdown right now.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah.

It's just, you know,
one of those

"I'm gonna die if
you make me go

to one more day
of eighth grade" kind of deal.

I been there.

Yeah. Well, par for
the course, but...

You just don't think you
should go out to dinner tonight.

Yeah, I just kind
of feel like

with everything going on
maybe... I don't know.

No, I understand, listen.
Hey, kids come first.

Yeah, even when you
want to strangle them.

Anyway, um...
I'm really sorry.

No, no, no, no. No, please,
we'll just do it another time.

Maybe when they turn 18.

Hopefully, a little before
then, but yeah.

Okay. Take care.

All right. Bye.

Nice work, especially
with such a crummy task.

I knew you were hazing me!

Yeah.
I was betting against you.

Bad idea.

Watch out, now.
She can use a staple gun too.

Woo!

We're all getting dinner
back at the center.

You should join us.

I'd love to.

"He was tired of
playing by himself

and he wanted to play with..."

Oh.

Who's that?

Mom.

Yeah, it's Mom.

Hey, baby.

We're just doing
our bedtime stories.

Oh, hi, baby girl.

I miss you.
I love you.

Love you.

We love you, too.

What time you getting home?

Well, you know,
it just got so late here,

I ended up just
sending Bo home.

Juliette, where are
you gonna stay?

Don't worry about it, they've
got a million rooms here.

Okay.

I had a great day, okay?

That is it.
They are good people.

And I felt better
than I have felt in,

I don't even
know how long.

So please don't ruin this.

Okay.

- All right, bye.
- Bye.

All right. Got your lunch
and your backpack?

- 10-4, boss.
- Okay.

I gotta take this.

You be ready to go
in five minutes, okay?

I'll be ready.
Will you be ready?

Very funny.

Hey.
- Hey.

So, um... I, uh...

just wanted to call and...

apologize for yesterday.

What do you have
to be sorry for?

Well, there was a lot
of stuff going on.

I didn't make any of that up.

But, um, well,
I kind of feel like

there's always a lot going on.

And the truth is,
I was just...

nervous.

Nervous, huh?

Yeah. I don't know.

It just feels like everything's
super heightened right now

and we're like walking on
some kind of a minefield.

You know, it could just may be
like it's just dinner, you know.

Just two people
sharing a meal?

Hmm, yeah.

I think I've heard
of that before.

Yeah, totally.
It could just be dinner.

It's dinner.

Okay, okay. Well, let's...

Let's do that then.

Okay, all right.

I feel like I should
pretend I got

a whole bunch of
plans this week.

Yeah, me too.

I could potentially look
in my calendar

and see if I maybe have like
an hour next Thursday or...

So tonight?

Yeah, tonight sounds great.

All right, tonight.

What is this stuff?

Salad?

I miss when cafeterias
were allowed to be unhealthy.

I'll be right back.

Hey.

Hey.

You can come sit at
our table if you want.

Do I look like some
Make-a-Wish kid?

Yeah, no, you do.
Just a little funnier-looking.

Wouldn't it have been
super awkward

if our parents had
actually dated?

Yes.

Like those two getting it on?

Ew! That is disgusting!

Yeah, I know.

- Oh, hey.
- Hey. Hey.

Don't you look all nice
and smart and stuff.

Well, that's funny
'cause I feel stupid.

You don't look stupid.

I'm just saying I think
she'll appreciate it.

Please, dear God,
tell me you're not here

to give me a pep talk.

I'm not here to give you
a pep talk.

Good.

You give any more thought
about that guitar pull?

Yeah, lots.

I don't know if my head's
any clearer, but...

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking that music
has given me this platform

that I can use to help people.

So it would be selfish for me
to be worried so much

about whether I enjoy myself
all the time or not.

Look, there's no job that
everybody loves all the time.

But it's not selfish to want
to love what you do.

Thanks.

Look, they said this thing
tonight, it's super informal.

Swing by if you can.

If you don't want to go,
don't go.

Just figure it out as you go.
- Okay.

- Is this jacket too much?
- Little bit.

Yeah.

Here you go, girl.

Are you expecting
company, hmm?

Hey, guys.

What... what...
What are you doing here?

Avery, listen to me.
This is very important.

What? What is it?

It's an intervention.

An intervention?
What are you guys talking about?

Who needs help?

Wait, me?

Yep. You're way too mopey.

And we're gonna do
something about it.

- I'm not mopey.
- You're mopey.

What are you doing, man?

Thought you said
you're good at that.

I am good at this.
I just... just give me a second.

All right,
we're gonna be late.

Just... Just get him.

Get him?
I'm not going anywhere.

What...
- Yes, you are, and no excuses!

You're coming with us!
- I'm not going anywhere.

We even got a babysitter
for this little munchkin.

- Really?
- Thought of everything.

Woo-hoo-hoo!
Look at this line to park!

Okay, this is... this is
the last time I'm gonna ask.

What are we doing here?

It's a surprise.

That's not an answer.

See, Ave, the nature
of a surprise

is that you ruin it
if you tell the person.

- I'm gonna kill you guys.
- Right.

Would you just quit
being an adult?

I am an adult.
You're an adult.

We're all adults
here, supposedly.

Hey.

Oh, hi.

Appreciate you
meeting me up here.

Work got a little crazy.

Oh, no, don't worry about it.
I ended up taking an Uber.

- So...
- Cool.

Shall we?

Oh, sure, okay.

Thank you.

- Hi. We're here.
- Hey.

Great.

So right now, I have
something at the bar.

Or you can wait like
30 minutes for a table.

Uh, you want to wait?
What do you want to do?

I don't know.
What are you thinking?

I'm fine either way.
Are you hungry?

Yeah, I could eat
or I could wait.

I mean...

- So... Bar?
- Yeah.

Let's sit at the bar.
- Bar.

Great. Right this way.

Okay.

Good evening, ladies and
gentlemen of the Basement East.

Thank you all for
making it out tonight.

You said you
were gonna show up.

You did show up...

- Ms. O'Connor.
- Hi.

We're so happy
you could make it.

We're gonna call the musicians
onstage one by one.

And this is The Amazing Ryan.
You'll be right after him.

Thanks.

We've got Ashley McBride.

A gig? Seriously?

Our gig.

Wait. What?

It's like you guys
didn't even listen

when we talked about this.

No, we heard you, we just
chose to ignore

whatever you had to say.

Avery, this is Beth.

She's a
fantastic babysitter.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi, Cadence.

Hey, hey, it's cool.
She got great reviews on Yelp.

So eventually I just said
to myself, "Jessie, you're 36.

Your career's not taking off

and that's not
likely to change.

And it also doesn't really
mesh well with being a parent.

So maybe it's just time
to try something new."

Wow.

Yeah.

So I've been taking some
psychology classes online

and I actually think that I'm
gonna go back to school for it.

And giving up the music?

Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

No, yeah, I know, I know.
I'm just...

It's... That's exciting.

That's, you know...

Yeah.

So how are you?
Are you writing and playing?

You know, not a lot.
Not as much as I'd like.

It's hard to find
the time sometimes.

Well, you got
to make the time.

- It's too important not to.
- Yeah, you're right. I do.

- Yeah.
- I should.

What?

Is everything okay with you?

Yeah.

- Why?
- I don't know.

- What?
- Everything all right with you?

Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

I just feel like you're
not really here or something.

- I'm here.
- No.

I mean, I'm feeling
a little self-conscious,

now that you say that, but...
- Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry.
It's my fault.

No, it's not your fault.

I'm just saying maybe
you're feeling

a little weird or something.
So you're thinking that I am.

Oh, oh, okay.
So I'm projecting.

Not the word I'd use.

- Oh, no?
- No. No.

I'm not taking the psychology
class, so maybe that's...

I'm just joking.
It's a joke.

No, I know, I know.

I knew this would happen.

What would happen?

That it would just
ruin our friendship.

This isn't ruining
our friendship, Jessie.

Our friendship is fine, okay?

No, our friendship
is far from fine.

Oh, come on now.

If our friendship was fine,
you would have given me

all kinds of crap
for quitting singing.

And then you would tell me
a story about how your girls

give you a million
distractions from music

but you love them
to pieces anyway.

And we would just be,
you know, talking

instead of just
sitting here trying.

I'm sorry, okay?
I've been...

I've been looking forward
to this a lot, okay?

And I don't know.

Now that I'm here and
you're right there, I don't...

Maybe I'm a
little overwhelmed.

You know?

Well, I'm really
overwhelmed.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Well...
- But you were the one

that said that this
could just be dinner, so...

- Yeah.
I mean, I did.

I was... wrong, I guess.

I mean sometimes I guess
dinner isn't just dinner.

I'm sorry.
- Okay.

- Yeah.

Thank you.

So you just want to just
go back to being friends?

- Yeah, okay, sure, yeah.
- Okay.

Okay, quick question.
What are we playing?

That is a good question.

You guys know
"Something More Than Free"?

No.

What about "Whiskey and You"?

- Yeah, I know that one.
- Yeah?

Shoot, I don't know that.

Uh...

I got it.

Ladies and gents!

They have informed me
they don't have a name.

But you may recognize
them individually.

So give it up
for Gunnar Scott,

Will Lexington
and Avery Barkley.

Come on!

Hey, that's lame!

Come on! Come on!

Yeah! Yeah!

You know, we're still
all getting

our, uh, our feet
wet together here.

So we're just gonna
play y'all the hits.

* Hey, stop the world
and let me off *

* Stop the world
and let me off *

* I'm tired of going
round and round *

* Stop the world
and let me off *

* I've played the game
of love and lost *

* Stop the world
and let me off *

* So stop the world
and let me off *

* Stop the world
and let me off *

* My heart is shattered,
can't you see *

* 'Cause you no longer
care for me *

* But someday I hope
you'll see *

* Loving you don't rescue me

* Hey, stop the world
and let me off *

* Stop the world
and let me off *

* I'm tired of going
round and round *

* Stop the world
and let me off *

* I've played the game of
love and lost *

* Stop the world
and let me off *

* So stop the world
and let me off *

* Stop the world
and let me off *

* Doodelee-doodelee
doodelee-doo *

* Doodelee-doodelee
doodelee-doo *

* My dream world tumbled
to the ground *

* The one I love
has let me down *

* I lost the wonder
of her kiss *

* How could she leave me
here like this *

* Hey, stop the world
and let me off *

* Stop the world
and let me off *

* I'm tired of going
round and round *

* Stop the world
and let me off *

* I've played the game
of love and lost *

* Stop the world and
let me off

* So stop the world
and let me off *

* Stop the world and
let me off *

Did you see?

Woo!

Yeah? All right?

Well, that was a...

Fun, failed experiment.

Yeah.

Guess to know it doesn't work,
you gotta give it a try, right?

Yeah, good point.

Yeah.

- All right. Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Coffee's on the counter.

Hey, buddy, you want
in on some of these pancakes?

Oh, pancakes, yeah.

We are not in our
early 20s anymore.

Yeah, I can manage exactly
one night like that a year.

I was thinking more
like once a week.

What do you mean?

Just admit it, Ave.
You had fun.

Come on, you did.

Okay, maybe I had
a little fun.

Well, then
we should do this.

Yeah. You saw how that
audience reacted.

We got to.

You're talking about
like a super group?

We're just making music
and having fun.

That's what we do.

Hey.

We're a band.
We share everything.

Yes? Come in.

Come in.

Just wanted to say hi
briefly before I go.

I'm sorry we didn't get
to spend much time together

during your stay.

But I thought it might
be instructive.

Instructive how?

Unlearning traps of
instant gratification,

dealing with disappointment.

I don't like mind games.

I understand that.

Do you feel like
maybe you, I don't know,

learned something?

Did you feel present?
In control?

I did, yeah.

Can I just ask then
what are you returning to?

My family, for one.
My career.

People so close to you,

they're invested in you staying
exactly the way you are.

What does that mean?

It means there's a dynamic.

You feel compelled to
dominate every interaction

and the people around you
are more than happy

to genuflect and submit.

I don't have
to act that way.

No, you don't.

But it's hard to break old
habits in old environments.

One needs distance,
structure.

So you're saying that
I shouldn't leave.

I'm saying be mindful.

Am I falling back
into my old ways?

Am I truly happy
here and now?

That's all.

- Hey.
- Hi.

You know,
if you don't want to talk,

I can keep shopping or...
- That's okay.

It's been too long.
Feels weird.

Yeah.

I can't remember
the last time I didn't know

what was going on in your life.

I know.

Well, you first.

What's new?

Well, I been playing out with
the guys a bit, Will and Avery.

Oh, really?

I mean, I don't know if it's
gonna be a real thing, but...

I think it's great.

You do?

Yeah. I'm happy you found
something that's right for you.

Well, what about you?

You been playing?

A little bit.

Thinking about taking a break
from it all just for a minute.

Oh.

What?

Oh, nothing. It's just...

You got the most beautiful
voice I've ever heard.

And I'd hate to think
you're not singing.

Thanks.

It just, it's started to feel
like an obligation.

Like something I had to do
to help people like Nadine.

You remember that girl?
- Yeah.

Yeah, I had this moment
where I realized

it wasn't just my music
that helped people.

It was me and stuff
that I decided to do.

And it made me think that,
for every person who says

a song changed their life,
there's like a thousand more

people who just change
the radio station.

So I wanted to do
something more direct.

Get some dirt
under my fingernails.

It's just where
my heart is at right now.

Well, then I'm really happy
for you too, honestly.

Thank you.

It's good to see you.

You, too.

All right, kiddo.
Ace that test.

Don't jinx it.

Sorry. Fail it.

Much better.
Thank you.

Love you, too.

- Morning.
- Hi.

Hey, guys.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Long time, no see.

Yeah, totally.

Hey, Daphne.
- Hi.

How you feeling
about algebra?

Fine, thank you.

Mmm. Good.

- We should catch up sometime.
- Yeah, totally.

Oh, well, that's
my cue to go, I guess.

Please, miss, you're
blocking the traffic.

All right, I'll see you later.

Break a leg, honey.

Yeah. Whatever.

Sorry!

He shoots, he scores!

You're back.

Yeah.

So how'd it go?
