No one wants to hear your voice.

Previously on Daisy Jones and The Six...

Your brother?

Billy Dunne is gonna be in this band?

Stop. Stop. Stop.

Why don't you, uh,

show us how it's done?

I just didn't want to be that girl anymore.

We're The Dunne Brothers.

For now.

You give me your number,

- I'll write you a song. - Wow.

Does that line ever work?

Question is, what are you doing in the crowd

and not on that stage where you want to be?

Hey, you sounded great up there.

Thanks, man.

- I'm Graham. - Karen.

California, my friend, that is the place you got to be.

You want to be signed to a label? You want to work

- with Teddy Price. - You know Teddy Price?

I'm not the muse, okay?

I'm the somebody.

Searching for that deeper connection to the music.

And-and so you, Teddy, you became a... a father figure

to the kids that you worked with.

I hadn't planned on being anyone's father, Merv.

I just wanted to make records.

Oh, here he is.

Hey, that's him. That's him.

Rod, hey.

Uh, it's, uh, Billy Dunne

and the, uh... The Dunne Brothers.

We met at The Staircase in Pittsburgh, you know?

You said I could call.

All right. Thank you!

But you didn't call.

You're just... here.

Um, could we have...

uh, ten minutes of your time?

Obviously,

- we, uh... we need gigs. - Yeah, on the Strip,

- if possible. - The Whisky, the Troubadour.

Yeah, and-and-and a place to stay.

Yeah, I mean, we pooled our savings together,

- but it's not much. - We're probably gonna need some money.

I mean, just to get us off the ground, you know?

And, uh, Teddy Price to produce us.

- That's-that's, uh... - That would be huge.

It's really important.

Sure. Yeah, man.

Anything else?

- Uh, I think that's... - Pretty much.

That's all, yeah.

That was all we came up with.

Are you a bunch of fucking idiots?

Do you really think that's how this works?

You show up in town and someone hands you a key to the city?

- A sit-down with Teddy Price? - You said...

You know, when we were back in Pittsburgh, you said...

I'm a tour manager, not a band manager.

So, unless you guys are planning a world tour in the near future,

I don't think I'm your guy, man.

We're not asking for handouts.

- We'll work our asses off, man. - Listen to me.

You seem like nice people, and...

if you're the band I'm thinking of...

...your set was kind of tight.

So what I'm gonna do is,

I'll make a call, one call, to my guy over at Filthy's.

Filthy's? Is-is that a club?

It's more of a... bar than a rock club,

- but it's on the Strip. - Man, look, that's-that's amazing.

- Sweet. - Thank you.

And that's all I can do.

- Right on. - Thank you. - It's a great start.

I mean, that's-that's more than we can ask for.

Now, if there's nothing else...

- Yes, sir. - Mm-hmm. - Yes.

- Thank you. Thank you for your time. - Thanks, man.

Okay.

Uh, oh, there is just, um, one more thing.

Um...

So, I mean, uh, you know, the thing is, I mean, all of us,

we're, uh... we're really impressed.

Um, you know, not just me, and, uh,

maybe now is a good time to... you know, for a...

change of scenery or a...

I didn't ask her.

Karen, this is Billy Dunne.

Hi...

Billy Dunne.

Hi. Look, uh, how would you like

to be in the band?

Guys, it's burning.

Guys, it's burning!

Sorry.

Minor kitchen emergency.

It's okay.

What were you saying?

Uh, well, I was just saying,

the, uh... The Dunne Brothers would love

to have you join our band.

In Pittsburgh?

No, actually. We're in L.A.

We have some gigs lined up on the Strip.

We're renting a house.

In Laurel Canyon. Tell her that it's in Laurel Canyon.

- Shh. - Stop.

So, what do you say, Karen?

You want to be in the best band in the world?

♪ But you don't do me no good...

Let me speak to that girlfriend of yours.

Uh... Cami.

Hi, Karen.

Be honest with me.

They worth it?

I wouldn't be here if they weren't.

I've been in bands since I was 15.

Always looking for the one that would go the distance.

Let's just say that the Winters...

♪ Well, goodbye, baby...

...weren't that.

And like my mother always told me,

don't put down roots in bad earth.

- Daisy! What the fuck? - Oh, my God.

You-you-you... you just broke into my house like that?

Like, Jesus Christ!

I didn't break in. I used the key

- sticking out of the flower pot. - Don't do that

- ever, ever again! - I'm sorry.

I brought wine.

The least you could do.

- Oh, my God. - Here you go.

- You fucking scared me. - Wine.

- Mmm. - Okay.

What are you cooking that's, like, so important

- you just had to break in? - Smells good, doesn't it?

Smells like you want to smell it forever,

every night...

in your apartment cooked by me.

You left home?

I can't stay with them anymore.

And you did say you were looking for a roommate.

- Yeah, to help with rent. - I can help with rent.

- You can? - Yeah.

With what money?

- I'll get a job. - Oh. Okay.

Well... not as a cook, you won't.

Jesus, that is bad.

Ooh. It is pretty bad.

They say it takes two to make a house a home,

and some things are really just that simple.

So that first house,

it wasn't perfect, but we made it work.

Didn't matter to us that it smelled like wet clothes

or that an old lady had died in it the week before.

We got it cheap, we got it fast, and

we got to live in Laurel Canyon.

You're distracting me.

Can I see that?

- Why? - Just...

just let me have a look.

No. No.

Come on. What? You can

film me all you want,

and I can't shoot just one second of you?

One second.

Oh, man.

I love you.

First impressions.

Not great.

Hi.

- Wow. - Yeah.

None of the boys would touch this room,

so we thought we'd give it to you.

- Is it haunted? - Yeah, by, uh,

horrendous, horrendous taste.

But we did have a gig on the Strip, so that was something.

- Guys, this is exciting. - Whoa, look at this place.

- All right, boys. - Need a hand?

Filthy McNasty's, lovely.

Oh, come on, guys. It's not so bad.

Hey, what do I always say?

The smaller the club, the bigger we play, right?

Pittsburgh on three.

Ready?

One, two, three.

Pittsburgh!

Those eight, nine months in McNasty's,

sure, hardly anyone ever saw us play, but

that was where we really fell in love as a band, you know?

Hello. Capitol Records.

Hi. Is Mr. Bones Howell there, please?

No. Sorry. He's very, very busy.

Oh, I'm sure he's a very, very busy man,

but if likes good music, The Dunne Brothers are going

to be playing a set on the 17th

down at McNasty's, and I was wondering if...

No. He's out of town till the 18th.

Oh, well, that's convenient because they're going

to be playing on the 18th, too.

You just got to be patient, man.

Now, Teddy,

- come on. - Look, not everything catches on right away.

You already know that. I mean, just give it a chance.

How many in a row is it, Teddy?

Six, seven straight?

Six.

Six in a row that didn't work.

Uh, they did work. They just didn't sell.

They have to sell, Teddy. How do you think we keep the lights on?

Look, okay, Don. All right, so, look, what,

- you-you're gonna fire me? - Oh, come on.

Don't be that way.

Look, Dean Martin wants to cut another Christmas album.

- Motherfuck. - Hey, Dino loves you.

You know he does.

Why not just take some easy shots for a change?

Enjoy your life.

Think about it.

You don't have to decide right now, but just...

just think about it.

What happened with that producer you went up to?

- The one with the parrot? - Parrot guy passed on us.

Wow.

That is bleak.

Might want to save half that toast for tomorrow, Eddie.

This is barely enough to cover the rent.

Fuck.

Fuck it, man. Maybe... maybe old Chuckie was right, huh?

Maybe... maybe this was all just a big mistake

and that we should have just stayed at home with our moms,

saved money on rent, become dentists.

I mean, I've sent out hundreds of photographs,

and not a single fucking paper has responded.

I mean, should I just quit?

No one said it was gonna be easy.

Also, while we're talking about stuff,

how come I'm the only one without a bed in the house?

Well, you could've taken Karen's room.

No, I couldn't have. That room is haunted.

It's not haunted.

And I'm getting pocket toast, so...

Why are we still called The Dunne Brothers?

I mean, three of us aren't Dunnes,

and the last time I checked, I'm nobody's brother.

So you want to change our name?

I personally think that's a great idea.

I'm just saying what everybody's thinking.

Well, the name is the name, so...

- That's how people know us. - Yeah,

but it's not exactly doing much for us, though.

How about Immaculate Reception?

- No, that is awful. - We're not changing the name.

I mean, listen, if we're throwing stuff out there,

Hercules is still on the table.

- No! - Stop it!

Let it go.

Deliverance, Espionage, Poison.

The six of us will never agree on a name.

All right? So let's just...

What about The Six?

But there's five of us, you know.

Well, won't people get confused?

- Well, we can't be The Five. - Why?

'Cause The Dave Clark Five, 'cause The Jackson 5.

- Everybody's The Five. - I like The Six.

Sure as hell better than Hercules.

- Daisy, you've got ten more minutes. - Sorry, Dave.

Enough with the Hercules, man.

Tell him you're on the list!

Hey.

Daisy Jones, Teddy Price.

You two should talk.

Ellemar Records.

- You interested? - In what exactly?

Working on some music together.

Well, I don't know.

What do I need you for?

Uh, well...

I just like what I heard.

And, uh, I think, with a little bit of my help,

I could take you to the next step.

- All you need is some shaping, and you could... - Shaping?

Yeah. I mean, I'm saying...

Look, you're new, right?

And nobody is all the way there their first time out.

I don't think I want to be shaped.

But it was nice to meet you.

She actually walked away?

Sure did.

But sometimes the back of somebody

is the best way to see who they are.

That's Teddy Price.

Um... hey.

Hey, hey, hey. Billy.

- What? - Teddy fucking Price

just walked in behind you.

Right there.

- Teddy Price? - Yeah, he just went in there behind you.

Give me the shit.

Give me the...

Give me... Give me the shit.

- Come on. Go, go, go, go. - Okay, okay.

Thanks.

Uh, Mr. Price?

I, uh, I-I love Blue Elsewhere.

Oh, not a lot of people know that one.

Thank you very much.

Uh, my name's Billy Dunne.

You and Memphis Marlon were the reason

I picked up the guitar.

I-I'm sorry, I just... I think you're a genius.

- Billy? Is that your name? - Yes, sir.

You're making me uncomfortable.

- I'm in a band. - And there it is.

Is there any chance we could play for you sometime?

You know, just-just one song.

I...

I don't have a... I'm sorry.

Okay.

Please?

You don't want me, kid.

Call Lou Adler.

I just don't make that kind of music.

Mr. Price, look, look.

If I were you and some kid came up to me in a market

and asked me to listen to his band,

I'd say, "Thanks, but no thanks," just like you are.

But I'd be making a big mistake.

You know you only get one chance at this.

Yes, sir.

Are you ready?

Absolutely.

Thank you.

- What'd he say? What'd he say? - He gave me his card.

He gave me his card.

Shit. Whoa.

Where are you going?

I'm gonna get some more.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Come here. Come here.

Come on. Hey, look at me.

Is there anything you don't think is horrible?

No. Honestly, no.

- Hmm. - Uh...

There's one we've been knocking around.

Yeah?

- It's not like the others... - I want to hear it.

- It's not ready, I'm telling you. - Billy.

What if we only get one song?

Well, then, this is the one we get, Eddie.

We just, uh, we wanted to say thank you

for this opportunity.

We're The Six, and this is "Silver Nail."

One, two, three, four.

What can I say?

They knocked my ing socks off.

Oh, can I say?

We did it.

Finally,

we were on our way.

People think we played one song for Teddy Price

and he gave us a deal.

Not true.

For months he put us through the wringer.

But it was worth it.

You sounded good tonight.

Yeah, good but not great.

I mean, my voice cracked during "Flip the Switch."

Eddie's chasing Warren on time every damn song.

What?

I booked you into a studio next week,

and the label agrees it's high time

you kids cut an album.

- Shut up. - Nope.

- Shut up. - It's true, it's... No, don't hug me, don't...

Oh, you're wet. Aw, Billy.

- Serious? - Yes.

- What's happening? - We're making an album!

No, be cool, be cool. Be cool. Be cool.

You stalking me now?

Simone said I might find you here.

I want to work with you.

You know, I've heard that from a lot of music producers, Teddy,

- and it wasn't always music that they were interested in. - No?

Ask around, that is not me.

Now, look, maybe I wasn't 100% clear with you

at the Troubadour.

Your songs, they aren't songs.

Did you want to order something?

I mean, you got some great beginnings to 'em,

yeah, of course, but I'm always in

the same place at the end

- as I am at the start. - I see.

You just don't take me anywhere.

Well, maybe you don't know how to listen to 'em right.

Did you think about that?

Maybe I don't want my songs to fit in a box

with a bow on it, Teddy.

Yeah, well...

- maybe you're right. - What's that for?

Your time.

46 up.

Everything had gone so slowly, and then suddenly

it was just all happening so fast.

We recorded our album in six days,

had two weeks off,

then it was time to hit the road.

By the time we get back,

I'll have enough money to buy us our own place.

You know, maybe further up the hill, or the beach.

I think we could do the beach.

Billy, I'm pregnant.

I've been wanting to tell you, but...

there's never really a right time for this kind

of stuff, is there?

And between the rehearsals and-and the album,

and you're going on a tour now and...

- Camila, it's... - No.

I don't even know what you want.

We never talked about this, you and I.

We never once talked about this.

What the hell are we gonna do?

I know what we're gonna do.

Guys, come on, we got to take a photo.

Let's go, just... Come on, get in, get in there.
