Original subtitles

We're coming to the end. The end of what?

The end of the movie. The end of the shoot.

There's always the next one.

What do I need to do?

Could you say a little something, please, Jay?

I love you. A little bit more, please?

10, 9, 8, 7, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday.

Jay, you're the best. You're the best. You're the best. You're the best. You're

the best.

You're the best.

Because I'm your dad. No, that feels great. If you're using that conditioner.

No, man.

This is the worst part. The anticipation.

Just your pet label. I'll be standing right next to you all.

But Harry would like to see you in the bloodier coat. Okay.

Did you want the peppers or the ravioli? I should have had the ravioli. I just

had my shake. I didn't want to be dumb.

Why did my thighs be cold? The dog.

Can we do it with the dog? He wants the dog. Can we bring the dog, Frankie? That

dog makes more money than any of us. Do we feel like drizzle?

That's the drizzle of flying a deluge.

Believe me, that's the drill.

I've watched you bloom throughout this tournament, and you really found me a

second serve.

You think Coco doesn't get butterflies?

Doesn't dream?

Doesn't fall? Be in the blood here, Coco.

So let me have more of that sip after four.

You're doing good, though. I think I'll be a drink. It'll be the last movie for

all. Turn off the lights and it'll be done.

You should have called me, Poppy. Don't beat yourself up about that, too. You're

just getting yourself on all angles now.

Jones is a secondary emotion.

Nice butt. Always blessed, Jeff. I did not have any bread today. No, that was

your brother. What are you thinking?

I know we got a couple good ones. It'll just be how it happens, right? Just let

what happens happen?

No, I'll just do another. Yeah, let's just do it. Let's do what happens.

Okay, quiet, please. This will be for a take.

Roll sound.

Rolling.

1 .38 echo. Take 11.

Hold on.

Camera set. And action.

I don't want to be here anymore, Jerry.

I want to leave this party.

You know, he's in too soon.

Can we go again? Just delay, Jerry. Just a bit. Don't cut.

Keep rolling, please.

Keep rolling.

Thanks.

Okay. All right.

Jerry, I want to leave the party.

In a way, I already died.

I'm lucky.

My time passed while I was still alive.

I got to see it end before it ended.

And you die.

Everything you thought you were isn't true.

Very good dog.

And cut. Great. Can we go again?

Really? I'd like another one. I think I can do it better.

Different. I don't know.

But if you're happy. Very happy.

Okay. You have an idea.

You're happy.

I'm ecstatic. But of course. You can have one more. You feel good. I really

I had a couple of yearly ones too.

Cool.

Good.

Thank you so much.

We made the tennis finals, Vivian. That's something to celebrate.

So did you rescue us, the Greenbirds and Hufflepuffers. But my money's the sun.

You and me, kiddo. I love you, Vivian. Hey, Puck! You guys are awesome.

You guys never get the crisp.

Let me call you back for a minute.

Okay, guys. Guys, everybody, thank you all so much. You did a great job.

A couple of timely reminders. We got the Omega event tomorrow morning, 11 a .m.

Pick up Candy. We'll be there at 9. Are you watching? Yes.

You didn't say anything.

You always get annoyed with my giving up kicks. You don't say anything that I

do. You hate it. Brilliant.

I think pick seven was the one. Why seven?

I'm not getting into it. He didn't want it.

You always get this way whenever we wrap a movie, emotional, and then you blame

me.

Maybe it wasn't.

You have a nice cut to the dog.

That dog was great.

What's it like, Gay, to experience your death?

I didn't really die. No, I know that. But how do you perform something you've

never done before? Pretend, Candy. I don't know if I want to have that

I thank you all for working so hard and being so great.

Couldn't do it without you. Thank you. Love you.

You're the best. I am the best.

Why is there always a slice of cheesecake in every room, I mean?

It's in your rider along with the nuts and the fruit and all the different

of water. How is it in my rider when I don't even like cheesecake?

You once said you liked it. Never. You did.

You just don't remember. How do you think my rider should say no cheesecake?

Never cheesecake.

And dinner with Daisy tomorrow.

Chef Mario is doing a special tamale. Oh, good.

Also, Antonio from the Tuscan Arts Festival called again. They need an

about the tribute. I said no.

I told them no, but they're very persistent.

I just mentioned again because they're quite reputable.

It was always going to be tight end. No tribute. We'll start shooting in a

couple of weeks.

I guess that was the point when I realized I was more intelligent than

does that mean?

I know more than you. Do you?

No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

About what?

About everything.

What is the capital of Croatia?

I barely know the fucking capital of California.

Who is Agamemnon's wife?

Now these are just facts. Anybody can know facts.

I know more about emotional stuff. You have to live a life for that. I'm

emotionally intelligent don't you want me to be smarter than you and that's the

whole point of this yeah don't you think it's a bit early can't help the timing

it looks good oh yeah you can't tell yeah she did a good job she's a little

well they usually make it too black it's not no no it's it's just right it

should go fully gray soon if you want my opinion yeah but not just yet all right

well hi i'm going to go meet moses in rio I love you. Honey, are we having

dinner tonight?

Mario's doing the tamales.

Did we say that?

All right.

Go on.

Be with your friends.

There'll be other dinners.

I wrapped this last one. I start the Lewis Brothers movie right here on the

I'll be around for the summer.

I'm going to Europe with Rio and Moses and some friends. I told you that.

I thought that was in July.

No, it was always June.

I'm leaving on Saturday for Paris, and you're making your way over to Tuscany.

Saturday? I mean, that's Saturday.

That's... I mean, it's too soon.

I got two weeks off. We won't have had time to hang out this year last summer.

That's why I want to see my friends.

It would be so lonely here without you.

No, it won't. You're never alone.

Really? I think I'm always alone.

Thank the Lord.

All right.

How about if I join?

Well, we're going to this really great jazz festival in Paris, which has a lot

of people, so you can't do that. We're taking a train with no first class. It's

Pienza, which you also can't do. And we're sleeping in tennis, which, I mean,

come on.

I mean, I basically grew up in it. But not anymore.

The muscle memory's still there.

Okay, well, that's good. I gotta go.

Hey, Ronnie.

Hey.

I've been posting about the tennis. You guys are adorable.

Oh, I made the final. Oh. I'm so excited.

We got a friend now, Dad.

That's a Molly.

Peter Schneider died.

Fuck, I gotta call him. No, I just found out who came here. He died.

Really?

I'm sorry.

I know how much you loved him.

Because the message is still on my phone.

When's the last time you saw her?

I don't know. Maybe six months ago.

Sweetheart, I'm going to make you a sandwich.

I'm glad to be here, Peter. I missed you.

Will you keep the knife?

That magnet thing over by the cutting board.

Oh, yeah. Barbara, I'm sorry. We made a mess after you already cleaned. That's

okay, Jane.

You know, Pop, lately I feel like my life doesn't really feel real.

Maybe a better way of putting it.

My life doesn't really feel real.

I heard about your breakup with the hand model.

Breakups are like death, aren't they?

Mayonnaise. It's refrigerated on the shelf.

Ah, yes.

How are the girls?

Daisy graduates this spring, and then she's at Johns Hopkins for biochemistry,

if you can believe it. She's a brilliant girl.

And Jeff is in San Diego.

That's... I don't know what to do there.

You'll figure it out.

Do you have olive oil?

I've been thinking a lot about Cranberry Street.

We had such fun shooting that, didn't we?

We were always laughing.

You know, it's the 35th anniversary coming up.

Jess was born the next year. That's how I know that.

All my memories are movies.

That's what movies are for us.

Pieces of time. Pieces of time.

Do you have pickles?

In the pantry.

I think.

Hiya. Check the expiration.

Pickles don't expire, my love.

They definitely do.

They're fine.

35 years. Is that possible?

It's all possible, son.

There's such magic on that one. I was spoiled. I thought they'd all be like

that. They're not.

So few are.

I'm glad you've been thinking about us.

I have a picture I'd like for us to do together.

It's the prostitute picture I told you about.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yes. Well, I'm shooting a movie now, and then I'm doing one right after.

You know those kids, the Lewis brothers, the big fans of yours? I didn't take to

their paper. Too much MTV.

I don't know how much I'd be available. They'll always wait for you, darling.

Peter, I told you, this is not for me. I did a rewrite with my assistant,

Shelley. I think you met her at that idiot's premiere.

We made it more contemporary.

They have cell phones now. Not a territory that I want to explore. I

ask Daphne to play the wife. She is retired.

Who could just attach herself?

My lawyer says we need a name. I can't do that.

I'll be honest with you, son.

I need the money.

I give you the money. But I need to make another picture. I want to do two,

right in a row, back to back.

You know what dear Truffaut said.

Sometimes quantity is impressive.

Art is personal, Pop.

You know that.

I understand.

But if you could just lend your name.

Pickles don't expire.

My dad was never there.

In the 70s and 80s, he was always on movie sets.

And when he started to struggle after he made a couple of what many of you in

Hollywood would call bombs or turkeys, forgive me, I'm not in the business, I

don't know the language, flops that are now considered cult classics by Gen

Z.

After the industry turned its back on him after his third bankruptcy, after he

was forced to sell his beloved mansion Casa del Oro in Bel Air and move into

one -bedroom in Encino, he was always trying to raise money, dreaming of the

next picture.

As he lay dying, he turned to me and he said, I know how the movie ends.

It's about love.

You don't remember me, do you?

Of course I do.

No, you don't.

Where do you know me from? I was in the only movie he directed on the horseback.

I love you both.

I have to go rescue Jay. How long?

I got beach clean up at three. We'll get you there.

If I'm late, they don't count it. Stay at the car.

Not surprisingly, it was his worst film. You have no idea who I am. I do.

I don't believe you.

Thanks for coming, Jay.

I'm so sorry, Steve.

You know, Dad always said how lucky he was to have found you.

He changed my life.

He thought the same about you.

I wanted you to have one of his neckerchiefs.

I am glad we came. It makes it all more real.

None of this feels real. I know.

Death is always so surprising, particularly in L .A.

I like the neckerchief.

You want it?

Thank you.

Why didn't I just do another movie for him? You're doing it this way because

you're a good person. He could have just wanted my name.

Jay?

Hey, man.

Tim? Yeah.

Timothy! Hey!

Hey, don't worry, I'm not stalking you. No, no, no.

We just did the... Yeah, the movie.

It was really special.

He was busy all the time, and then people are dying.

Ron, this is... Timothy, my old roommate. We were in acting class

old buddy.

Tim, nice to see you. Ron Tukeneck, Jay's manager and friend.

Heard a lot about you. Really?

Really, you have?

Oh, well, all good, I hope.

Because we were some pretty bad boys back in the day.

How have you been? I'm good, you know, living the life, you know.

How are you doing? Well, that's a stupid question. You're doing great. I'm all

right. I'm all right.

It's good to see you. You too. Yeah.

See you.

All right. Nice to see you.

I'm not following you. I parked over here.

Maybe we should... Grab a coffee or something. Oh, man, that would be great,

know. And how would I, maybe I'll contact your office or something? You

me. I'll get the message if you need help. Oh, yes.

Okay, great.

And if it's not cool, don't feel obligated.

Actually, I have time now.

Oh, that's great. Hey, how about, do you remember Shay J by the water? Sure,

yeah. Okay, I'll meet you there.

What day?

Did I follow you? Right, so Bonnie, you can go home.

We're okay with this guy? Yeah, he's an old friend I haven't seen in a year.

There'll be people there. That's all right. I don't remember people.

I'll see you tomorrow.

No, you won't. Because remember, I have the tennis files for the movie. Oh,

that's right. Take it easy on the drinks.

Yeah, I will. Because it's an emotional day.

Stick to beer.

that when someone is dying and getting closer to the spiritual world, thank

that they get less afraid of death.

You've got a guru, man. That's great. It becomes less real.

And, of course, power and success become completely unreal because

they're no longer relevant. But, like Peter said, all that's left is love.

That is beautiful. I know.

Could I get a picture?

Oh, yeah, sure. Okay, thank you. Here you go.

Sean? Yep?

Love to get your guru's number.

Oh, yeah, he's magic.

He's best by text.

This place is so great.

Mm -hmm.

I haven't been here since we were in class.

Do you see anyone from class? No.

No. Do you? Oh, yeah, we have reunions.

I think that you're the only one that's the worst.

Oh, Cindy does a lot of voiceovers.

But you were the one we all looked up to.

Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, you were the best of all of us. You were method.

I wasn't method.

You were method. I wasn't method. You could do anything.

I could watch you do anything.

Watch you read this menu.

Do that thing.

Do it. Read the menu.

Come on.

Okay, all right.

This is no emotional choice.

Truffle parmesan fries, Brussels sprouts with balsamic honey glazed with bacon,

$12. Wedge of iceberg lettuce, shrimp cocktail, calamari with lemon aioli

$15. All right.

I do it with an emotional choice. I don't know, man. I don't really do it

anymore. I'm a child therapist.

Do it.

Jay Kelly's there.

Action.

Okay. All right.

What would Larry say?

I can talk through it.

Truffle parmesan fries.

Brussels sprouts with balsamic honey glaze and bacon,

$12.

A wedge of iceberg lettuce and shrimp cocktail.

Cobart with lemonade only sold for $15.

That's what method acting is.

It's amazing.

Oh my God.

No, my problem was... I was not ambitious.

It's a hard business. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

I keep thinking I might just stop.

No, come on. You've done all right, Jay Kelly.

I made two bad decisions.

Yeah, you know I passed on the original 90210.

I was doing Hamlin, Louisville.

That's cool.

I haven't done a play since high school.

Who's the other one?

We're going to let you come to that audition.

But my boys got to see me waiting outside the school gates every day.

I got to think that counts for something. For sure it does. It counts

everything.

Hey, I'm sorry. I read about your divorces and your

girls. They must be full -grown people by now.

Daisy starts school in the fall. Frankly, she doesn't give a shit about

but...

Freaking out.

Thinking about her leaving. I feel like I missed it. Hey, tragedy of parenting.

We are only successful once we've made ourselves irrelevant.

That's so sad.

But come on.

You've made the right choices for you.

You make movies, man. That's what the world wants from you. My world is. It's

much smaller. Take the dogs to the park.

Being with my family, my patients.

Nice to see you, Tim.

It's nice to talk about those times.

Nice to be in touch with you and with also that

guy. The guy I was.

Is it?

Uh, yeah.

I don't think you want to meet that guy again.

Mm -hmm.

I'm gonna be honest with you. I can't stand you.

You kind of stole my life.

I didn't steal anything from you.

Really? You stole my job.

And you stole my girlfriend.

At 23, I didn't have much more than that.

And now every time I pick up a magazine, I'm forced to read about Jay Kelly and

his amazing origin story, how he accompanied his friend to an audition

Schneider. Only he got the part. Imagine that. But they never wonder about the

friend, the guy he took. I got Peter to cast you. I was a glorified extra. I had

one line. People knew the things I know. I'll get the bill. I got it already.

Hey, don't worry.

I'm not going to tell people.

I'm not that kind of guy.

I don't actually know what kind of a guy you are. You're not that important to

me. You're important to other people en masse, maybe, but not to me.

Sorry you feel that way. I always had fond thoughts of you.

I'm not the only one who feels this. Your daughter agrees with me.

Daisy?

Jessica.

We're Facebook friends. I recommended the therapist for her.

Don't talk to Jessica.

You're going to tell me who to be friends with now? I'll tell you who to

friends with. She calls you an empty vessel.

Maybe she's right.

Is there a person in there?

Maybe you.

don't actually exist.

I've always had this fantasy of hitting you.

I should have done this years ago.

Come on.

You were never going to get that part.

Never. No!

You got this, puppy.

I know. I'm just getting that feeling I feel.

That's fine. Now say goodbye to that.

Fine.

Sorry, Liz.

Can Ron call you back?

Vivian's serving some mash.

Ow! I know.

just saying it's out but michelle the way you said it he can call you back i'm

sorry dad i heard mom and i got distracted i did too i understand

just you can't talk while we're playing i know i'm sorry liz says it's urgent

dad don't know about ghosts hold on maybe you get the do -over because she

distracted dad no i don't want to do over what rule are you playing by

this isn't the French Open. Give the girl another serve. I give Vivian

serve. Why not give Michelle another serve?

Hell, I'd like another serve, too, while we're at it. Like chaos, right? Ron. I

don't want another serve. It's not another because that one should have

happened.

Yes.

You don't pick up your phone?

We're serving for the match.

We need you now, Ron. Dad. I can't come now. We're in the middle of a game. It's

Jay. Jay knows I have the tournament.

Dad. Jay dropping out of the movie.

That he starts in a week. The Lewis Brothers movie?

Dad? David, don't put your mouth on the pen.

I like it.

He's not dropping out. This is Jay when he wraps a movie. He always does this.

It's bad.

It's really, really bad.

Ron.

Today. He got a work call.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Fine. I'm coming.

Do you know about ghosts, Dad?

I do, David.

Ghosts are the spirits of dead people who come back to Earth if they have

unfinished business.

The change is planned.

We've got to suspend the game. No, no way, Ron.

Something's come up. I have to go. Where?

To jail.

You suspend before things.

That's who, Gordon. The tournament rules. What if it was raining?

Well, it's not raining, Ron. It's not raining, Dad. Ron, I feel good.

You can win.

I know I have to go.

They're waiting for you.

Thank God.

What happened yesterday? Nothing.

We went to Peter's memorial.

He bumped into an old friend. They went out for some drinks. Something happened.

If he pulls out of the movie, he'll be in a great situation.

I can't.

It is under key packing.

Packing for what? I don't know.

I mean, quitting the movie would be financially devastating. I mean,

on a reputational level.

Nobody says.

He's not 25 anymore. He's not 55 anymore.

You done?

Everybody done?

No one's in breach.

Jay's doing the movie. Not what he thinks.

Well, now I'm here.

Then find out why he has a black eye.

He has a black eye?

Jay?

Hey, brother. Hey, puppy.

What's the package? Come from the gang?

How'd you and Vivian do? Well, we were up 5 -4. I do too many movies. But it's

fine. What's the packing? I think I do too many movies. I think you do just the

right amount of movies. I think I do too many movies.

You do work a lot. See?

Barbara tells me the truth. What happened last night? You can't have too

underwear. Yep.

How'd you get the black guy? I'll tell you on the plane. What plane?

The plane that I booked. We're leaving in one.

Where are we going? Meg, where are we going? France.

France. France?

I spoke to Daisy's friend Rio's mom, Claire. Rio uses her mom's credit card,

Claire can pay the charges online.

Daisy and her friends are currently in Paris and due to leave for Italy after

his jazz festival on Tuesday.

We have a bidding on Monday. Not if we're in Paris. Louis brothers are

going to be there. Marvin and Houston.

If you need a couple days to clear your head, I'll tell the city. Tell them that

I'm joining Daisy and her friends at a jazz festival in Paris, and then we are

catching the train to Italy. And you're tracking her through her friend's

mother's credit card.

My last chance to spend time with her before she's gone forever.

I'm fairly certain Daisy doesn't want you following her around Europe with

entourage.

Dior ambassador, so there's every reason to be in Paris.

And then I'm receiving that tribute.

I've been known to the tribute. You said no. I told them never. I haven't been

told them yet.

Take a few days.

Drive up the coast.

Order that pinot you liked at the post ranch.

Remember the towels?

What did that even mean?

How about I tell them to push the fitting to Tuesday?

Listen, if you don't want to come, I'll go alone.

You, on your own, wandering through Europe is like a little gazelle alone in

Serengeti, but not a gazelle, a Cocker Spaniel. Well, this Cocker Spaniel will

tell you his chances.

What do you mean they're giving a tribute to someone else? Some history.

When Jay passed on the tribute, I got them to offer to Ben Alcott.

You gave Jay a tribute to another one of your clients. Somebody had to take it,

and that's a good piece of architecture for Ben. Fuck a duck. Does Jay know

about this? I spoke to L 'Antonio. They're going to do two tributes, but

currently there's only one trophy.

I'm just saying, like three junkets of any of your cover suits, and just a blue

leaf, whatever. I know, but it's Jay.

Why does he have a black eye, Vaughn?

We're getting to that.

Uh -huh. This is why I could never marry you.

Why? Because I'm loyal?

No. No, because you enable... We're on the road to Paris. Oh, man, now

I have to listen to it by the piano.

We're going to Paris by plane.

Say it right.

An adventure to the place where... I don't know the word.

Justin's on the B team. It's so sad, you guys. He doesn't know where to run.

Can I take a half or a whole?

I left in a hurry.

Can't say goodbye to David or he has a meltdown. The therapist said I should

goodbye anyway so he knows I'm leaving. He'll be okay. He's five.

They block him. He's five, but I probably should have said goodbye. Take

whole. Otherwise you'll stress out and end up waking me up. So what this man on

the podcast is saying is that we're always, always every age.

Like literally?

No, I'm saying literally.

I'll take a whole.

Why do you have a black guy puppy?

I'll tell you when we get to France.

But it's nothing I need to know now, right?

Are you running to something or from something?

Yes.

It

doesn't

feel like anything as far as I know.

You talk about fame and success and this sunlit life and happiness.

You talk about me as if I'm some kind of a king.

But your words are just sweetness that disappears in your mouth. Hey, Jake, can

you stop there?

What did you feel just then?

I felt conceited, successful, a star.

You want to be a star?

I mean, yeah, sure.

Go on.

What else?

Enjoying patronizing a young girl.

Thinking I'm king.

Did that seem powerful?

Kingly to you?

Looked like a lot of posturing.

How old are you, Jay?

23.

I'm not enough in seeing you cry to be a famous writer and pre -revolutionary

writer. I want to see the hungover kid who just got off the bus from Kentucky

who's trying to impress all the cute girls in the class.

Basically, just be myself.

Do you know how hard it is to be yourself?

Uh -huh.

If you're lucky enough to act professionally, you'll be lying for a

The better you lie, the more truthful you'll seem and the more successful

be.

That's confusing as shit for a young man who doesn't tend towards introspection.

You say you want to be a star.

Well, I've known a few of those.

Like the whole other layer of head fuck.

Now you're going to act twice.

Once when you play the part, and then again when you play yourself.

You have to really want that.

I do.

I do.

Hey, Tim.

Yep? Want to have a go?

Sure.

What does it feel like to be famous?

I don't feel like anything as far as I know.

You talk about fame and success and a thump of life and happiness. You talk

about me as if I'm some kind of a king.

But your words are like a sweetness that disappears in your mouth in an instant.

I see nothing respectfully lovely about it.

I'll just go once and make them right again.

Tim's having a panic attack.

Why? I have a huge audition for Peter Schneider.

Who's the most?

I am the worst auditioner. Well, I've barely ever gotten an audition.

I don't know how to touch the towel. Touch the something.

Your towel will shine through, it always does.

Go with him, Jay.

You're a calming influence.

Come by the bar after, free drinks?

Be well.

I don't know.

I used to want to die. I imagine my funeral.

I think it's from the stick.

All the pretty girls crying.

And then he goes on about this guy in the stars. He's too poetic for a kid.

It'd be more like, um, there are too many girls. I ain't lazy.

Needy Duffy for one.

I don't know. Um, shit like, I might even grow more.

There's so many things I've done yet I don't, I don't have the vocabulary to

listen.

Better you should say that. I can't mess with her script.

You're gonna do great in there. I just get so fucking nervous with these

Oh, look at this.

It's not even... You're gonna get this, but I can feel it. Thanks, buddy.

Eat it for good luck. What? Come on, just a corner. Arnie has his powers.

I've been freaking me out.

Tim Galligan?

Oh, yeah.

You reaping me?

Yeah.

Alright. Thank you. Thanks.

Uh, who are you here to read? I'm here to read with my friend.

That's okay.

Yeah.

How did you do that?

Oh, thanks.

Here you go.

Thank you.

What's your beef, Tilly?

I ain't got no beef.

Yeah, but you've got that look, that line in your forehead that goes from

to here.

I used to want to die.

I'd imagine my funeral, all the pretty girls crying.

But I don't want to die.

Now, I haven't seen enough.

I never really looked at these trees in the sky.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I don't know if there's more I didn't finish. Fine.

Thank you. Thank you, Timothy. Thank you so much. Very nicely done.

Would it be cool if I read, too?

No, I'm sorry. If you're not on the appointment sheet... Yes, sweetheart,

would be fun.

I mean, if that's okay.

Uh, yeah.

What's your beef, Tilly?

I ain't got no beef.

Yeah, you got that look.

That line in your forehead that goes from here to here.

I used to want to die.

I'd imagine my funeral.

All the pretty girls at home.

But I don't want to die now.

I haven't seen enough.

Too many girls I ain't laid to eat Duffy for one. Hell, I might even grow more.

There's so many things I ain't done. I don't have the vocabulary to lift them.

And I've only been as far as Archer City, but I don't need to see Paris or

or one of them places they got kings.

I'm the king here.

I'm the king of the dust cloud. I'm the king of my Coca -Cola.

I'm the king of cameras.

Thank you.

Would it trouble you to read another scene?

I'd love to.

I'm sorry about changing the lines, by the way. No, dear, we liked it very

You'd never know.

My father used to say, the first person you meet when you get off a plane, it's

you. Well, it should be the greeter. Remember the last time we were in Paris?

The Chanel show?

It was a silence out of respect for the war. I remember Gucci, but that was very

loud. They didn't compete. Thank you so much, Antonio.

They're blowing a second trophy for Jay.

Hey. We arrived in Paris and we'll be heading your way tomorrow. I'm just

getting all my texts.

According to Rio's mom, Daisy likes to get for a 10 o 'clock train to Italy.

She's not doing the jet thing.

Apparently not.

All right, better head straight to the train.

Flag in the play.

We're casting a train to Italy.

A train.

We're literally standing next to a plane. Why do we fly to Paris, then?

Oh, no.

I booked a job for this afternoon. I'm giving Emmanuel Macron a haircut.

Can you cancel?

My first president.

Oh, my God. So, yeah.

We'll be on the 10 o 'clock. Are you fucking kidding me? I can't put Jay

on a train. You're right, Antonio.

It's the most romantic way to turn up. There should be some official car or

something, maybe.

With a seal. I think that...

I'm an atheist who supports this kind of search. I approve of everything about

it, but God. What? Don't worry about God.

Life would be absurd.

Well, exactly.

Fuck. Is that Jake Kelly?

It's never not going to be a trophy. That's what I do. I fix things so you

have to know about them. If I don't have to know about them, why are you telling

me? Well, because we were late with the acceptance and they gave Ben Alcock the

award. You said no, Buffy. And I said yes. I would never say this to Ben that

stays in the coma. You're the first choice. You're the headliner. You know

Buffy. I'm so confused talking to you right now.

I can't believe I'm catching shit for this.

Daisy!

Hey!

No, no, no.

C48? That doesn't sound like first class.

We'll put Jay Kelly in C48.

You told me there were no first class tickets. Maybe no first class at all. I

don't know. They all speak French here.

We have Jay Kelly. He will be acting there with us. Do you have a private

Ah, no, no, no. C48.

I don't know who to be mad at when I'm finding myself being very mad at you,

Ron. To be mad at me? Liz, the train was my idea.

That's the problem. I'm not allowed to be mad at you. According to Claire, we

all got a chai latte at the Starbucks that you bartered me on 45 minutes ago.

You don't go to a train station for coffee? I mean, it will be weird.

It's research for parts.

Sorry, Alan, you've got to speak louder. I'm on a French train on a French

holiday. How hot is their Monday morning? I don't know. It looks fucking

national. Well, then move the fitting to the first day of the shoot.

Wait, what?

Say that last part again. Did you hear me?

It's 50 days from Easter here. I'm sorry.

Say it one more time. I want to make sure I get this right. We're playing

-dimensional, four -dimensional justice.

Are you fucking kidding me? I know that's not what Jay says. It's what I

I'll get him back.

Get back.

Hold on. Let me get...

Let me call you back.

I can't believe he's actually on a train with us. Are you real?

I believe so, yes.

And will you be using the same bathroom as us?

I'll try to remember to put the seat down.

I'm a very good guy. He's a good actor, wasn't he? A real double young guy. I

read that you've never been to New York City.

Sorry, there's so many people here. It's 50 days from New York City. I haven't

been on a train in 20 years. 30, man. A subway.

I can't tell you the last time I was on a subway.

Oh, the Kozak picture. Oh, great. She was on the stage, but the dimensions

very accurate.

We saw you being honoured at a prestigious Tuscan art festival.

Oh, I was too young to be having a tribute.

Well, you're very kind, but I don't know how many more movies I have in me. At

least one more. I'd love to have a tribute in Italy.

Oh, is it only a tribute to computer programming next to the RNW? Yeah, I

you'll get all dressed up and invite all your friends and family.

That's what I'd do. Anyway, thanks.

Clive's right.

It's your career. Let's do it up. Invite your kids. Invite your dad.

My dad? Why not? No, but why not?

My kids. I don't know. My dad.

He's your dad. He's not going to be here forever.

Okay. All right, but you call him.

You send him a plane if you want.

Doug?

Oh, my.

When I look at you, I see my whole life.

It's all too rich at this studio.

Excuse me.

Music.

Jay was in a ball fight.

He probably killed you. No.

He broke it. Did you know that? Did you think anything about it?

Not very badly.

No. He liked being famous. You must have such a wonderful sunlit life.

You're so happy.

I think it would be terrible being famous.

Everyone looking at you talking about you. It's like being crazy, isn't it?

Clearly doesn't help with travel. Look at you packing with us, Clem.

So what do you all do? Where are you all going? My father was a farmer.

I played a fireman.

I can't explain what is happening.

My thoughts are formulating a real -time universe.

We just don't want to go. We're going to get shagged.

I remember the last time we were in Paris.

I don't want to talk about it.

I never did.

Talk about it.

20 years ago, I left you at the Eiffel Tower.

19 years ago.

I don't want to talk about it. I left you up.

You're 60.

Yes, you can get old.

If you're getting old, that means I am. I'll stop if you will.

You are some peon. Sure, sure.

What do you say to people who say you only play yourself?

You know how difficult it is to be yourself?

You try it.

You know, I'm having a tribute in Tuscany on Saturday.

And you all should come.

Sorry.

Do you have any regrets?

What's your name?

Phoebe.

You're a tough one, Phoebe.

I'll see you all in Tuscany.

That's right. My throat will close and I will die.

Don't touch people.

So puppy, you know those times you say, don't tell me unless I really need to

know.

This has been one of those times. Why didn't you tell us you pinched a child

therapist in a bar fight?

I didn't think you would. Sue, he's suing.

I know it's difficult to be honest with the people we know. You have to tell us

everything or we can't do our jobs. We love you no matter what. It may be more

difficult even. Why are you saying that? We do. We love him. You love him. I

work for him.

You know I adore you. But when the press gets a hold of this, which they will,

we won't be able to tell the narrative.

You did you first. Is that what happened? Is that how you got the black

Huh? Because Jay Kelly defends himself from Craig's stalker sounds a whole lot

better than Jay Kelly beats up defenseless child therapists. That's not

happened. Well, how would we know that?

I made my last movie. I'm all right with that. I had a good run. Don't say that.

You don't mean that. He broke his nose.

They're claiming this from Alan.

Multiple fractures, needing surgery, but permanent reduction in senses as well.

And potential deformity can result in compensation up to $100 million.

Jay Kelly.

Jay Kelly.

Jay.

Jay. Kelly.

Jay.

Kelly.

Jay Kelly.

Gary Cooper.

Cary Grant.

Jay Kelly.

I can't believe you drove here from L .A. by yourself.

I wanted to see you in your life.

I've been in San Diego for almost a year.

Well, my last movie went long, and I had this vodka ad in Greece, so I'm lucky

to have a weekend. I know you're busy.

I jumped in the truck, and I drove all the way down here.

So, can you, like, at this point, can you just go into a gas station alone?

Yeah, I'll serve, and then I... I put a baseball cap over my head.

What about having to pee?

Side of the road.

God, Dad.

I love seeing you with those kids.

They adore you.

Well, I finally found what I really want to do.

It took a minute, God knows.

You know, acting really fucked me up. It's really insecure making. I don't

how you do it.

I'm insecure.

But you always had it.

Even when you were a little girl, sure as you would do in the backyard with

sister. And Kelly and Kelly.

No, it was Kelly and Kelly.

I'm just so happy for you.

Listen, if there's any way that I can help out with the rent... Oh, that's

Dad.

I'm glad you're here, though.

You want to go for a drive?

It's Theo's birthday next week, by the way. No, I know.

You have to remind me.

Right. You have people who do that for you. Oh, I know. It's the 24th. I got it

on the podium. It's the actual size of a pony, but it's stuffed.

Oh, I love that.

Where are we going?

I've been seeing a therapist and he's become a very important part of my life.

I made an appointment for both of us with Carter.

This is why I didn't tell you Because I knew you wouldn't want to do it

Sorry about the shades.

I have a retinal disorder.

So I'm very sensitive to bright light.

I tell him it makes him mysterious.

You should be the one with the dark glasses.

When it's sunny, yeah.

Do you surf?

A little bit. I'm not very good.

I'm guessing that you do.

Every day until I broke my femur.

Then I got my psychology degree. I'm sorry.

But I guess good.

Door and a window, right?

Yeah.

Well, thank you for coming.

It's very brave.

Okay. Jesse and I have been doing a lot of work these past weeks.

And Jesse wrote you a letter.

It's from her 10 -year -old self.

She'd like me to read it.

Why don't you read it?

Well, because I can't get through it without sobbing, so we decided that

should read it.

Oh.

Okay, if you... Dear Jay, when you abandoned me... Wait, hold on. I didn't

abandon you. That's your mother talking. Try not to comment at laughter. I

didn't... I mean, I was with her. If I wasn't there, it doesn't mean I should

stop being your father.

Jesse's told me a bit about your relationship with your own father.

I'm not like my father. My father's a...

rageful, bitter, egomaniac. Perhaps your determination not to be like him

took precedence over being a father yourself.

Keep breathing.

You say you always want to be with me, but your actions aren't speaking the way

your words are.

My worst day was when my babysitter rented that movie you did with Daphne's

vendor.

She couldn't believe I'd never seen it.

And in it, you were this great father.

And you were so sweet with the little boy.

And with Daphne, who cried and cried.

like you had a happy family.

Can't do it.

Can't do it. I'm not finished.

You're not going to hear the whole letter. Not if Carter reads it, no.

I knew that you would find a way to make this about you. Carter said you would.

Carter is crying in there. Well, I find it interesting that you're not crying.

The best way to make an audience cry is to not cry.

Do you know how I know that you didn't want to spend time with me?

Because you didn't spend time with me.

He's in the cafe car.

Explain to me, Ron. He doesn't care why she's weak. He cares, Liz. Of course he

cares. It's just how he's managing his feelings right now. They're so nice.

Of course they're nice. He walked off a movie screen and into their lives.

You think they're like this with everyone? They do seem like a nice

We're in second class on a French train to nowhere taking care of an infant.

Worse, an infant who hit a guy. We've known him for 30 years. We clearly don't

know Jay.

And who else is out there?

Whatever hillbilly shit he did in Kentucky, it can spiral.

It was different when we were young. It was fun. That was our baby.

Acting out at 60 is a bad look.

He's behaving like he's the first person to ever have a nervous breakdown.

We're all having nervous breakdowns, Ron.

Every single fucking second.

That was absolutely quite rude.

Why, Ron?

Why should we be chasing around an infant when we have actual living kids

home who are aging by the minute? Because we are supporting a great artist

shares with other human beings what it is to be a human being. We're human too,

Ron.

More so, maybe. Not about us.

Our love isn't conditional.

It's like parents or imaginary friends.

We vanish under cloak of night with no trace, maybe an elegant business card

that floats around. What the fuck are you talking about?

He's not our family or our friend.

He was just a divvy at Sweet Sixteen. Were you at Daisy's graduation?

I think I was. You weren't invited because it only goes one way.

No one wants to say it, but it does.

We're not to him what he is to us.

I disagree.

My father is crazy.

Like the actor?

Yes, like the actor. Adolfo is the actor.

The reason I'm telling you is because he's standing right in front of us right

now.

Hey. Hey.

Yeah.

I guess we're on the same train.

Yeah, I mean, it's crazy, isn't it?

It's weird, Dad. Well, I had to be in Paris for Dior campaign and other bits

bobs, and then...

I made this train for my tribute in Taku. Hey, Rio.

So, how was the jazz festival?

We didn't go. Guillaume called Fusion now.

Guillaume. Guillaume. Guillaume. I'm Jay. Hi.

Guillaume was our waiter at Cafe du Fleur. A singer and a filmmaker.

No, I'm kidding.

It's embarrassing to say filmmaker to you.

Daisy,

how does it feel to have the hero of so many brilliant films of our time to be

your father?

Yes, Daisy, how does that feel?

I think I know him too well to tell.

J. Kelly is a hero of cinema.

I like this guy.

What was I going to tell you?

Listen, I don't want to intrude. I just wanted to invite you all to my tribute

on Saturday.

Totally get tickets for all five of you.

Since when did you care so much about a tribute?

I don't know. I think I care.

Inviting Dad.

I think I'd make it a family thing.

You invited Grandpa. Do you really want him? I'd like him to come.

And I'm inviting Jessica.

Jesse? Yeah, I mean, it's a little more complicated with her because you and I

are in the same country.

We're on the same train.

We'll make it back to you about it, okay? We're on kind of a tight schedule.

We're going to this ancient horror space.

It's going to be fun.

So, Paris was great.

It was amazing.

All right, so tell me everything.

I jumped off.

Rocks and pulled in the woods.

Went to this crazy bar that David Lynch designed.

I ate a brain.

Went to his old house.

You know, his paintings are really, really amazing.

Dad, are you listening to me?

I'm not listening to you. This is the look of me listening.

You asked me about Paris. I'm telling you about Paris. Start again. Just two

sentences back. So, 80 days. I'm going to go get some snacks.

No, don't get snacks. No, stay, stay, stay. Come on. I'm sorry.

It's strange.

That's great, but it's strange hearing about your experiences and seeing you so

independent. I'm sorry.

Okay, so tell me, you hate a brain. I hate a brain.

I would dance with these tango kids outside of the opera house, and I think

want to act.

After college, if it's still something that you feel like you want to do, then

think I might not want to go to college right now. He is making a film and he

has asked me to be in it. Just a little thing about memories and dreams.

You're going to college.

You worked incredibly hard and this is an amazing opportunity, one that I never

had. I never even allowed myself to think of being an actor because of you,

I am good.

I know that you always thought that Jesse was talented, but... I think

one of the most brilliant people I've ever met. I just don't think you want

fight. That is so hypocritical. Acting has been your whole life. I know how

difficult it is and how much you miss and how crazy it makes you and how

it makes you. You're never alone.

Thanks, Simone.

You're welcome. Just think about the tribute.

Because I can make it work from the horse race or wherever you are. I can

car or a helicopter.

There's a jet picking up your grandpa. What do you need?

How did you end up on that train, Dad?

Hey.

I knew because Rio is using her mom's credit card.

My God, that is so fucked up.

Rio, your mother is tracking you on your Amex.

Fuck.

I wanted to surprise you. You stalked me to Europe.

I'm here because you can't just leave and stop being a kid. I haven't spent

enough time with you. It's not even just you. It's you and all your people. Oh,

come on. I'm not that guy. No, you're totally that guy. You can't say

and not be that guy.

I'm just trying to make it easy for you to know. I don't want a helicopter or a

private jet. I just want to be on a rickety train and in a youth hospital

a tent. I want to have this holiday without you dead.

I fucking hate you, Mom.

You're worse than Russia. Forgive me. I will never forgive you.

No. Do not cancel the card.

Don't go.

He needs you. I need you. Hello, Jay. I'm sorry.

My dog ate his screw. I wrote him an apology.

It's like we always say, if it feels good, don't do it. And here are the

for each event. They're color -coded.

I'm doing it.

We did just both that night.

Back then on the Eiffel Tower.

We just sat down to dinner. I wanted to turn our phones off, but you said keep

them on just in case.

And of course we got the call.

She even photographed that daughter of the French ambassador.

One of us had to go.

Right, they had to keep the table.

I was so nervous.

Because I had a ring planted in the cadash.

I never knew that part.

Yeah, it was like a very romantic movie.

But one that is not romantic at all, in fact, because...

You never came back.

Well, I was with Jay.

And you were calling.

Jay is always going to come first.

We were never going to have a moment that was just ours.

I'm sorry about the act of power.

It's okay. I'm happy.

Yeah.

Me too.

And also, I'm sorry.

Thank you.

What did they say?

The bloody air conditioning is no more.

Oh, well.

Vivian's feet are swollen like I have never seen. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Swollen how? Like after the cello revival?

So much worse, Ron. I can't get into my Gordon's dad. I had to wear Crocs. Their

feet look like they blinked. We're on our way to Dr.

Fenner's, and I'm doing everything I can to keep it together. It's disgusting,

Dad. Michael Bronfman said it looks deformed. Michael Bronfman is an

When did the swelling start this time? Right after the tennis debacle. Almost

immediately. I get it. So it was my fault? I didn't...

the cream did the cream not work because you said you really gotta slather it

ron we slathered it and we did the advil oh god i am so sorry mom just totally

ran a red light sorry you're gonna get a ticket vivi you're going to be okay you

hear me you think i know dad am i gonna be okay you are you're gonna be great

you too lois you're my hero we're turning in now ron we'll call you from

doctor i think i might look mom more i love you Oh, so much.

Can you hear me, Lois? Yes, I can hear you. You're on speaker.

It kills me that I'm not there with you.

You're all my babies.

I love baby.

You always want to be with me, but your actions aren't speaking the way your

words are.

My worst day was when my babysitter rented that movie you did with Daphne

Sender.

before we did this.

Sometimes it's better to have sex with someone before you know them.

Or pretend sex.

I'm just kidding.

Have you had pretend sex with a lot of people before you knew them?

A few.

The least sexy thing ever.

It's so embarrassing.

Gosh, that depends.

Oh, yeah. It's like we're doing something incredibly important.

Oh, my. You know.

You know.

Okay.

We're rolling?

We take the gate.

I'll just talk you through it.

So, Jay, can you get that?

Pistol rolling.

Neck.

Hair.

Shoulder.

Okay, give me Eli.

Are you asking to be tickled? No.

And cut.

Can we go again?

Really?

Maybe I had an idea.

I thought we were right.

You did?

Very

good,

very good. I'm not going to let you win. I'm very competitive.

Remember this the way I do.

All right, I'm coming out of here.

I was still married.

Just had Jessica.

We stayed on the set that day. I had cards with the kid.

Daphne, you're cheating.

I'm not.

If you're going to hold your cards, it's played out like that. How can I not

look? He was our decoy.

It was okay to be together as long as he was there.

Hanging out like that.

until the very end of the shoot.

Maybe you told me that you wouldn't fall in love with me. Maybe you're telling

the truth. Maybe you never did.

A month later, Jessica's mom moved her to Seattle. I thought less and

less of her.

He quit movies and said that he loved acting, but she didn't want to be

I mean, life is so weird.

There were a million reasons why we didn't stay together.

We're going again.

And...

Italy, what is his fate of God?

I believe there is a potent commitment to be human which other places lost long

ago.

Remembering things I've thought about for a long time. My family's losing it

home. It's like a movie where I'm playing myself.

Watching myself.

I'm sorry. You gotta go again. I didn't hear a word you said. I said I'm

suddenly remembering things.

What is that?

Memory? Well, yes.

Maybe your memory is trying to tell you something about your present.

Like what?

I don't know. I'm tired.

I just had a fight with Daisy. I wish I was there to help you.

What? What?

Nothing.

I'm just tired.

I just wish I had more time with her.

I always negotiated flights on the weekend for you to go home and see you.

very difficult.

What are you getting at? I'm just saying Ben flights home every weekend from the

show to see his family. Ben. Ben Alcott. I'm sorry not to feel like you. I'm

just saying these are the decisions we make. Like I may become on this trip.

Not kiss Liz back.

My family is rather at home right now. Trust me. Can you kiss Liz?

Nah, she kissed me.

Where's Liz? Liz left.

Chris did too. Her dog ate his crew. Chris' dog, not Liz's.

Liz was just pissed.

She left you this note.

Chris and not Liz.

Liz leave me? Like forever?

What is forever?

Does Ben Alcock really fly home in a week? There's no saying. This is his

marriage. The man don't have to put him down now.

Were you ever going to let me know what happened with Timothy?

I told you I wouldn't. Yeah, but you didn't.

Maybe you can give me a water.

If you get it.

No.

Silvano! I'm, I'm going!

He really is a hero.

I wanna go out there.

Come on, I love your ass shit.

That is so not fair!

stop looking at me and talking about me all the time

Please be kind. He just needs his medication.

He's a nice guy, a real family man. He has three wonderful kids. This is not

he is.

You're a hero, puppy.

Please, get him to the doctor.

I'll get you that water.

Be there with me.

Take care of your bike, okay?

Daisy.

Daisy.

Have fun.

See you, Dad. Love you.

Love you, too.

It's right to let her go.

So I spoke to Alan. He's got a legal letter ready. I signed off on it. We

have to have a statement prepared in case Timothy goes to the press.

I got a draft here.

I need you to read it. Be okay with it.

These are yours.

I know you know what to say.

Whatever happens, happens.

Daisy's my friend, too, and I betrayed her.

You're just doing your job.

That's a Nazi excuse.

I feel like such a bad person.

My fault, Meg. Listen.

Take a break, go on a holiday in Italy. I'll be fine.

Thank you,

Jay.

For the record, I'd love it if my father chased me across Europe.

Oh! And Emmanuel Macron is taking Candy to Geneva, so you need another care

person. I love you, and congratulations.

Mr. Kelly.

Sorry, Mr. Caterpillar.

Hi. Hi. I'm Alba, your driver.

Your daddy is waiting for you at the restaurant with Antonio and his

My daddy? Yeah. Your daddy. I called him and sent a plane. He's very excited.

Shit. I should come.

I will bring you to your daddy.

Is this everyone?

Yes?

Did you take maybe one bag?

What? He's crazy.

I forgot to give you, Mr. Caterpillar, your cheesecake.

Wonderful. Thank you. You eat it.

Here in Italy, we like to work hard.

But also, when we finish our work, we relax and we like to eat. We cry

sometimes, but also, if you are funny, we might laugh.

Sometimes we get married. Oh, you mad candy.

We'll find you a new hair person. Too many people around me anyway.

You need some people, right?

We argue sometimes, but also... Maybe an accountant.

A lawyer, you need an accountant.

Who else?

Publicity, a chef.

Oh, me, you need me.

Yeah, Ron, I need you.

Alba,

is there someplace we can get a gift or something for my dad?

Yeah, yeah. Can you drop me at Ristorante da Rosa, please? Where are

I have a 5 p .m., just a quick drink in town. I'll be back for your dinner,

though. Save me a tiramisu, do you have a 5 p .m. one?

Ben Alcock, I just, I gotta put a little time in with him. He's also getting a

tribute. The second tribute, yeah.

So you're gonna just leave me alone with my daddy?

I'm here for you. I'm always here. And I'll be with you from seven for the rest

of the trip. I don't care.

Meet Ben Alcock.

What's in his rider?

Actually, Ben's rider is quite minimal.

Fuck off.

Well, try to have some fun.

Say hi to your dad for me.

You might meet a ghost while you sleep there.

The ghosts are usually little mugs who expose themselves.

I would have thought they would love to meet Jay Kelly.

I stopped pumping iron and I took up yoga.

And now I'm in the best shape of my life. Still slender but taut.

Also, keep the metal game tough. Do it in Sudoku.

Hey.

My son, the movie star. Hey, Stanley.

Oh.

Stanley made it.

Me, Captain Jenny, and Lourdes, they flew me in on that tiny plane you got

Lady pilot. Your father entertained us all the way from Maine to Florence with

his wonderful, often offensive stories.

What a personality.

Yay.

The apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.

Now, where is this famous rose?

We expected a whole tea. Yes, we thought Mr.

Caterpillar would have rolled very deep.

Yeah, the famous run had a 5 p .m.

The run is very protective of you.

He was so worried about the size and the shape of your trophy.

I'm sure I'll love it.

A local artisan, Giovanni.

The two of that things you Americans call an old -nighter. And Blue hit

This trophy has an important meaning for my family.

When I was born, my father sowed a strawberry plant as a sign of love.

Giovanni, look great in the mask. He suffers from infinite COVID.

Take your cheesecake.

It's waiting.

Jesus Christ.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Nick.

I'm the best friend anybody has, but you don't want me as an enemy. I promise

you that. Because what you're saying would... Let me talk!

Because what you're saying sounds remarkably like a shakedown.

I'm happy to be wrong, but if that's what we're doing, I'm hanging up the

telephone right now.

You do that. You speak to Timothy, then call me back.

Alan, you there? Did you see some motherfucker was trying to shake us

It's dead. Did we hear from the detective?

Like the neckerchief.

All right, all right, hold your fire. I got a drink now with Benny boy.

Yeah, yeah, let me know.

I'll call you after.

Yeah, ciao.

How the hell?

What happened? What did you say?

I like the neckerchief.

Yeah? Yeah? Right.

Ah, you look handsome.

Ben Alcott with a dreamy blue eye.

If I could.

Two clutch planes.

Well, first.

But lie down, Ben.

Oh, happy ending. Yeah.

Did you order a drink? I just had a filter.

Oh, well.

You just played?

Trained. It was a whole.

But it's fine. We're all good. I just sent Jay to a dinner with the festival

people.

Jay got a dinner?

You got a dinner, too?

My schedule said drinks.

You don't want to be a dad -dadder.

You brought your family. You're a proper human. Jay is single and weird and

needs to be entertained.

They don't have to put Jay down to make me feel better. You did that right. I

have been like a father to Jay, but much less complicated because I'm like a

brother. I could use a drink.

So I've been thinking and talking to Melanie, and I feel like I'm

not... Really getting enough of you?

Really? I'm here now, puppy. What happened? I've been there. I know you're

the Jay Kelly business and I can't compete with him.

I'm okay with that.

You know, I know the only reason I'm getting this tribute is because he

on it. And then took it back. I'm sorry that got off the cockpit, but don't

worry. You're both getting copies.

But I need to get some of you.

Okay.

Jay is one of my clients, but he's not my only client.

How can I improve?

I'm going to go without a manager for a while.

Hold on. Just an attorney and an agent and a publicist and a business manager.

You're my second oldest client ever. We've been together since the Disney

I'm having problems at home.

Vivian has anxiety and swollen feet. I hear that. And you're just coming off a

successful television show. That correction takes a minute. It's been a

already. You're in between ages.

But I really feel like you're entering a sweet spot.

I just need to try this.

Was that your wedding? I gave you a toast.

I know. I know. We're family. I love you.

Stop. Stop.

I know it would be hard to do this.

I was going to send an email after the tribute, but Melanie said I should do it

in person. I didn't have to.

There are things that I do all day long that you don't know about.

No, don't try to talk me out of it.

No, don't cry.

You're crying, puppy. No, I know, but it doesn't mean you have to cry.

Okay, you cry, puppy. You were crying first.

i'm just i'm just jet lagged and i'm tired and i'm old

she's

okay

Jenner says that she's picking up on your stress and it's affecting her feet.

How the fuck is my stress affecting Vivian's feet? Relax, Ronnie. It makes

if you think about it. You're going to let a foot doctor analyze our child?

is wrong with you? Don't speak to me like that. I am single parenting it

We all have David's cold. I'm sorry.

I love you. I just, I'm having a bad day.

Are you okay?

I was just fired, and I'm crying. I'm alone in Italy, and I'm crying.

I know you're mad at me. Can I just hear I love you back?

Jay fired you?

No, Ben.

Jay fired Dad? No, Ben. Go back inside.

That motherfucker.

And you got him a tribute and everything.

I know.

You stopped Jay, right?

Yes, yes, I still have Jay. If I ever get him back to do this movie, can you

just say it, please?

What is that sound?

The bells. It's all death and firing here.

Ron, I just saw the thing on page six about Jay.

Wait, what thing?

What thing about Jay?

Lois. So why am I here suddenly? Who dropped out?

Nobody. I invited you.

Oh? First time in years that he's brought me to a rat fuck.

He got threatened when I showed up at the Globes back in the 90s. That's not

true. Jay's dad was his most handsome back then.

Susan Sarandon had a little crush on me.

Well,

I'm glad you're here. He even sent me a video of a baby elephant reuniting with

his parents. And were they happy to see him? That was the point.

Very cute. Very tender.

What's that for?

Nothing. It's a present.

Well... It's a sweater.

Nice.

Nice.

It is a sweater.

Cashmere knows this.

You have too high a threat gun for your dad. No, I got it for you.

It's a sweater.

Where's my granddaughter?

Ron said she'd be here. She's doing her own thing. She's at that age. You

remember being 18.

I remember broke dreams. I didn't dabble, do you?

Tell me, padre.

Are you always so an artist?

Like your son?

Artist? No.

Working stiff.

Worked for the John Deere Corporation for the past 35 years. Retired and all

those assholes came in with a city pension and a fountain pen.

No trophy would you take for your dad.

You toiled so your son could have his dreams.

I like that.

I like how you put that.

Yeah, when he was a boy, I thought he'd grow up to be somebody that I'd like to

have a beer with, not Beaujolais.

I played tough guys so I didn't have to be one.

Action movies are bullshit.

It's all fake.

Did you always know Jay was going to be a star?

Well, he barely said a word until he was about five.

And then one morning, he gets up, and he comes down to breakfast, and he started

talking in this funny southern way, and he's acting very clumsy.

His mom thought he'd lost his mind, but I said, Celia, no, no, don't worry. He's

just playing a character.

I was impersonating my Uncle Mark. Right.

He kept saying, seriously, which was Uncle Mark to a fucking kid.

You're a good kid.

Seriously. He didn't mean it otherwise. Oh, God, I broke up.

I didn't think you laughed so hard.

Mom either.

She was always so sad when she drank.

Where is Uncle Martin?

In jail for mail fraud.

Charity? Charity.

That's it.

We are sorry to go up, but you are all over the internet right now.

There is a video.

Any film? On all of our phones.

A dramatic altercation.

With another man.

Dr. Jake Alley becomes real -life hero as he apprehends criminal in dramatic

fashion worthy of the cinema.

Oh, shoot!

Run in your fancy mortgagee! Run, Jake!

Run! There was no action or cut as Jake Alley leaped from the grave. I had to

claw back and revolve beyond hitting and kicking.

But he had to defend himself.

It says here the man was a crazy... Chief, a lunatic, impending... It wasn't

lunatic. It was perhaps a sexual threat. No!

No, no, it wasn't. You finally managed to get your trousers dirty, Stanley?

It is now time to take our real -life hero to the real

-life party.

You know what this countryside reminds me of?

Bakersfield, California.

Beautiful place.

Mary runs out of work there. Oh, so sad.

I used two long digits to make a film.

Fuck me.

There he is.

He's here.

Jay Kelly, so handsome.

With his square cut super banjo. Where were you?

We said we'd meet at the party. No, we said we'd meet at the dinner and go to

the party. I don't think so. We said you go to the dinner and I'll go to the

party. You said save me a tiramisu.

How was the tiramisu?

It was cheesecake.

See the video?

Oh, our friends on the train filmed it. A great result. Congratulations. Call me

a hero. It's so embarrassing. You are a hero, puppy.

Tell the story. I'd be the villain, not the hero.

Come here. Watch your ears.

Come on. Come here.

Alan, you got Ron and Jay. Sorry for the tribute noise.

Tell Jay the news.

It's been taken care of, Jay. What is?

Timothy, the lawsuit, the nose, everything.

It's all done.

We discovered a pending drug charge from the 90s that would destroy his

business. Done. It's gone away.

You're free, Jay. You are too young to be studying.

Why, thank you.

And you're too young to be young.

apologize. Say who?

Timothy? That can't happen, Jay.

He's my friend.

It's not anymore.

My counsel is to let it go.

Yeah? Yeah, it's dealt.

You won't hear from him again.

Destroy your tribute, Jay. You've earned it.

I want whiskey and spaghetti bolognese.

Thanks, Alan.

Don't thank me. It was all wrong.

He really went to war for you.

Thank you.

You all can make up stories, but you and I

know who I am.

I know who I am.

Who am I?

Look at you. You're the American dream.

You're the last of the old movies. I'm down here. You're up there. You're down

here. You're in here. It's amazing. We've accomplished so much together.

Everything you say makes it worse. You can stop running now, puppy. It's time

go back to work.

I'm going dancing.

Oh, the family's wrong.

You start shooting on Monday, and I gave them my word you would be there.

Give my part to Ben Alcott.

Hey, come here. Come here. Do you know what I had to go through to get you that

job? I mean, you're you.

But I was the one who went to the Lewis Brothers tequila bar in Bushwick and

smoked crack.

What crack? I don't know what it was, but I smoked it.

At three hours, I was afraid I was going to swallow my tongue.

Anyways, it got you the job. They offered me the job. The part was written

35 -year -old man. It took some convincing.

And I do it again because I think what you do is magic.

I'm just an actor. I'm an actor. I got that.

Does nonsense mean anything to you? Because it means something to me.

Give my tribute to Ben. Go on down.

I don't understand.

I think I've been a good partner, a good friend.

I loved you. I love you too, Ronnie. But are we friends?

Of course we are.

Then be a friend to me and let's go back to work.

I mean, you're Jay Kelly, but I'm Jay Kelly too.

We did this together.

You actually said that to me one time.

You forgot.

I'm dead.

When you fuck yourself, you're fucking me. You understand?

I'm dead.

You gotta be a friend.

You're my friend who takes 15 % of my income.

You're not on that plane tomorrow?

I'm dancing.

I wish you were the man I thought you were.

I'm a Cocker Spaniel dancing in Serengeti.

He was eating spaghetti and doing yoga, and he lost his balance. Where is he? In

the kitchen with the doctor. Bad?

You okay there, Studley?

I lost my balance.

Tequila. I love that. The Bolognese.

Be tranquilo, eh?

You need to rest.

You need to rest.

Little

bright

in here.

I wish I'd seen Daisy.

You remember being 18.

You asked me that already.

I said I remember brokering.

All right, sorry.

I want to go home now.

Let's get some sleep. No, I'm going to leave now.

Stay and see Italy.

I've seen it.

Audrey booked me on the 8 a .m. flight from Pisa.

Will you bet to me?

No.

I really do want you to have a good time. I want you to stay till tomorrow.

we get a chance to spend time together.

The doctor is here.

Stay for my tribute.

Where's my bag?

It's in the taxi.

Next.

Next morning's the next.

Zach J. Kelly!

You okay, man? Hey, how are you?

Proud to be sharing a tribute with you, amigo.

Thanks, man. You know my wife, Melanie?

My daughters, Serafina, Lily, and Bridget. My sons, Captain and Cole.

We got Arlo over there, the newest addition to the clan. We got Nana and

Terry and Ernie, brother -in -law, Spike.

My assistant, Pam.

Sorry about the clown cars.

Sorry I don't have anybody to introduce you to.

Hey, only in Italy would they give two middle -aged white men an award. I mean,

seriously, at this moment?

Guess we got Ron to thank for that.

Yeah, this is awkward, but I parted ways with Ron.

When? A few hours ago.

I feel terrible. I mean, I love the guy, but I just felt like I was being looked

after by someone who needs looking after.

I mean, every time it's kids and inflamed feet or Lois and whatever that

mean, God bless them, but I need someone younger, someone hungrier. Or older and

more powerful.

Right. You're also getting into all that psychodynamic stuff with him. Yeah,

yeah. He's too much like my father.

Or he wants to be. Yeah, I mean, I have to keep saying to myself, they are not

our family. Or your friends. No, I mean, we give these guys 15 % of everything.

Then they want to be treated like our friends. Friends do not take 15%. No.

Oh, we heard about your act of bravery.

Yeah, nicely done, amigo.

Jay Kelly for president.

I mean, seriously, would you ever run? No, I just... Can you excuse me for a

minute?

Actually, we need a few extra tickets for the fam if you have any to spare.

I can spare all of them, okay?

Thanks, brother. I owe you.

Maybe just leave me one.

Yeah, sure.

Hey, Jess, Dad.

Hi. Hey.

Is it a good time to talk?

What's up?

Well, I'm in Italy.

I read about your real -life heroics. No, it's a news story. It's not true.

Yeah, well, you fooled them again.

Yeah.

So why are you calling?

Well, listen.

I'm feeling bad about the last time we were together. Sorry about that.

I just couldn't hate that guy.

You still see him?

Yeah.

Well, I want to hear you out, so if that's what you need to happen, then,

know, I'm... Listen, I have this tribute here in Tuscany.

I'd love for you to come. So why do you care about a tribute?

Well, that's a good question.

I... I did make those movies.

So you think that if I go and I celebrate your career, that your

going to make me forgive you? No.

Maybe yes, Jeff.

Maybe, yes.

35 years of my life.

I'm 34.

I just want you to come with me to see what I did, to be there to celebrate.

It's got to have meant something.

What if it didn't?

I could have been a very good dad to you, Jess.

mother and distance and i didn't execute it the way i planned it that's just be

honest with me jay stop rationalizing and trying to defend yourself just stop

i was young

and i wanted something very badly and i was afraid that if i took my eye off of

it i couldn't have it and i was right there's no other way to do it

And it meant choosing it over you.

But it was supposed to be temporary.

Until I had what I wanted.

But then I had to keep it.

My ten -year -old self is giving you the finger.

What about you now?

You don't have to worry about me, Dad. I'm okay. I love what I do. I have

friends. I'm gonna have a good life, just not with you.

And you're okay, too. You know, you're a good movie star. You know, you make a

lot of people happy.

Baby, quit acting.

I need you to sign a photo for Theo's teacher. She's a big fan of yours. Oh,

okay. Jeff.

It means so much to me. For Helen.

What? That's her name. Helen.

Okay. Help.

I'm sorry, Dad. Just please, Jess. I hope you have a good tribute.

Goodbye, Jay.

Jess.

Oh! That was wrong!

Have you seen Jay Kelly?

No, since last night. Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

See you later.

The tribute is at five.

No. Precise.

Right.

Are you okay?

Take a second.

It's okay.

Look, I'm sorry, but... I'm sorry.

I appreciate it.

But you got me thinking.

I was up all that night talking to Lois.

And I think you have it right.

There comes a point when you have to reassess.

I love you.

I really do.

And I appreciate the apology, but I can't work with you anymore.

It's not good for me.

The Italians are looking for you. You have a tribute starting in a couple of

hours.

I gotta make a plane, but try and go, okay?

I mean, you came all this way.

Hey, Ron.

Come to the trivia with me. He's my friend.

I mean, we did this together.

You're the one I want there most of all.

I'm the only one who is here.

Who the hell is this?

I've heard of thinking of myself

as a family, man, and that's what we all are, dear, whether we like it or not.

We are a family.

Well, it doesn't matter now because you've got about two fucking seconds to

live.

Now, you really didn't think I was going to sit this one out, did you?

The way this works is...

You do the thing you're scared shitless of, and you get the courage you have

when you do it.

I won't let you down, sir.

I stand before you.

Not over yet.

It's the Kelly and Kelly Show.

Starring Kelly.

And Kelly.

And now it's time for Daisy, Denny, and Kelly's famous front roll.

Dad. And Jessica.

It's not over. Taylor and Kelly will do her more famous.

Can I go again?

I'd like another one.
