I am, I said. I am, I cried. I am an entertainer. When I'm not doing engine

work or oil changes, I am the lead guitar with the dog night specials of the red

dragon lounge, the band ain't great, but they serve free hot dogs on Wednesday

nights so there's that. I am the only honky and an old black band called the S

-quires. I hold my own. So far they haven't given me the hook like a Diapalo.

I got a karaoke machine. I used for solo gigs. I sing all types. I got melanchamp

over Sponjovy and old. But these occasions. I have created a persona. It's

like a superhero or rock and roll. I got an okay for nothing. I got no mask, but I

got a bolt. You know why I got a lightning bolt? Because they call me

lightning. Oh yeah. Lightning's a star. Lightning's a rock and god. It's like

Chuck Berry, Berry Manlion, the Beatles all rolled into one. He's singing the

songs. People love to hear the songs that people need. The songs that I need. Yeah.

The songs that I need to keep going. When the song is over and the applause stops,

I'm not lightning anymore. I'm just another drunk. Oh, my name is Mike and

I'm an alcoholic. And I'm happy to be here because today's a special day. It's

my sober birthday. 20 years off the bottle and counting. Thank you. But I got

a tradition on my sober birthday. I sing the same song by a great man. Man who

sings, he got me through some sad times, some rock bottoms. Today I get to sing

one of these songs for you. But this is not a sad song. A sad song to sing when

you're alone. In a way it's a bad song. Yeah, a bad song, a simple song. That's

what it seems to make you feel good when you sing. Long. Song. Song. Blue.

Everybody knows one. You know the words come on. Song. Blue. Every garden grows

one. Me and you are subject to. The blues now then. But when you take the blues and

make a song, you sing them out again. You sing them out again. Song. Blue.

Everybody knows one. You know the words come on. And before you know it, get to

feeling good. You seem to have no choice. All of my love, all of my kissing. You

don't know what you've been. I'm missing a heart. When you're with me, I'm with my

boy. But the world can see that too. A world meant for me. Stars are clear and

the shadows are falling. I can hear my heart calling a little, little, little,

little, everything right. I'm gonna see my bear and I. I'm gonna see my bear and

I. You don't know what you've been. You're supposed to be. I'm gonna search

for a word on the cruise or something. Yeah, well I thought you were gonna be

Don Ho, singing tiny bubbles. I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna go on as

lightning. You can't go out there like that. You look too much like Elvis. When

you head to toe and denim like you wore in the 68 come back. You were a black

leather in 68 come back. Not denim. You're in the guitar man, Madly. He wore

denim. Oh, and you even got a lightning bolt. I like being, I can't wear a bolt.

That's Elvis's logo. Taking care of business in a flash. That's me. That's my

handle. Oh, you're all mad, dude. I am the one and only Elvis impersonator and

all the walking. Thank you very much. One thing's for sure, we got two minute Elvis

impersonators and not one little Richard. Say it loud. Where's the Hawaiian shirt?

You're singing tiny bubbles. I don't want to sing tiny bubbles. I'm gonna sing eye

of the tiger and then I'll close out with suspicious Mike. Oh, my dead body. Does

he see suspicious minds? Girl, calm down. Mike, we're impersonators here. That's

why the state fair booked us for the blue -haired crowd. I don't look like Don Ho.

I'm not Hawaiian. It's dumb. That's why Carl Kahana knew he was doing it, but his

gallbladder ruptured you, Greek, to fill in and do me a favor. So you're saying no

lightning? It's Don Ho or a no-go? Yeah, Mike. That's what I'm saying. Then it's a

no-go. Claire, you're up next. Babs. Instead of don't rain on my parade, do

people who need people. The blue hairs are losing their slow-dance song since

tiny bubbles is out. Oh, man, it's, I guess. Thanks, Mike. Sex machine, you

close it out. I'll go tell the band. You're supposed to be a little red, Lynn.

Oh, oh, Patsy Klein. I sing her songs all the time. I don't usually dress like

this, but any chance to sing, you know? I just can't be Don Ho on my birthday. Oh,

happy birthday. It's not really my birthday. Oh, go. Okay. You know you

could be Frank Sinatra. You may be sing Luck be a lady. I like Frank, but the

whole crew of five, I don't know. I like the move. I like the rock. Yeah. No, this

is a lift. Oh, you know who you would be perfect for? Neil Diamonds. Oh, no. No.

Oh, I hold that man in such a irregard. Oh, no, no, no. Sweet Caroline. Yeah.

Bob. I know. No, no, listen. He's got other songs too. Okay. And if I'd ever

got back to him that I was goofing on his music, or like a girl over there, I'd

kill myself. Not Neil. You know how much he got paid for that, Chris? $20,000.

That pose of pull-than 20 G's. I'm gonna stow your pays. Oh, God, I'm burning up

in this wig. My boobs were just a bit bigger. I could be dolly. You're a

blonde? Oh, boy, am I? All right. Put your hands together for Miss Patsy and

the greatest hits. I hope you sing as good as you look. I'll go out walking

after midnight. I'll hit him on my own. Just like we used to do, I'm always

walking. After midnight searching for you. Glass dangle. She's saying country

is not a good place to be. Rock, classical, like that RV Maria joint. She

look all kind of good, don't she? Yeah, I'm a bed-like man. You're an after

midnight searching for you. I stop and see a wimp in Willow. I am on this

pillow, and maybe it's bad for me. There's a sky-turned gloomy. Not when's

this the to me? I'm on some miss. I can't be. I don't walk in after midnight. I'm

in the starlight. Just hoping you may be somewhere walking. After midnight

searching for me. Okay, Mike. Open wide. Jeez, you could park a car in that gap.

I'll take a Cadillac. I got something much better for you. Take a look at this.

Is that a lightning bolt? Lightning for lightning. So when I smile, I'll be like

I'm advertising. That is smart, Dr. Dave. That is why you might manage your Dr.

Dave always thinking. I got a call from Walter over at First National. First

thing, he still wants you to perform at his Christmas party. Great. Second thing,

you're three months behind on your mortgage. You ain't just take it out of

my performance fee. Mike, it's not something you can just sing away. Maybe

you should think about downsizing. I've got to keep my house. When my daughter

comes up, that's a one consistent thing that she's got. Anyway, we should be

talking about downsizing. We should be talking about getting higher paid gigs,

like a residency, something steady. Why don't you talk to your buddy, a holly

friend? You know, he's got that gig over the Chano Casino. Ah, Mark's pissed at

me. I quit the Legends gig there the night. What? Why'd you quit? Does he

wouldn't let me be lightning? You were supposed to be Don Ho. Why I gotta be

anybody other than me. I should be enough. Shit. Well, I guess there goes my

$10 commission. Do you need an oil change? Come on, give me your car, you

son. Oh, man's lady, you're hitching on a twilight train. Ain't nothing here that I

can't take alone. Maybe a song to sing what I want. Don't need to slip, please,

do no man for a happy tune. Oh, well, oh, my rosy child, you got the way to make me

happy. You and me will go in stock. Crackling rolls your store for one. But

you made me sing like a guitar homie. So hang on to me, girl, a song keeps running

on. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, she's young. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,

ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Cut, get on, run! Cut, get on, run!

Cut, get on up that head! Cut, get on, run, run! I can't be sent your shirt down

for a rash! Nothing, I'm trying my hair! It's me, you! you You just go back clear

stangle I lost to be clear part of it. But then after the divorce I switched it

back to my maiden name which is stangle So clear stangle it's not the most

exciting stage name. I know but it's not like I'm sure I'm a done. Oh, you're

better than that bros Stop you're so sweet you are. I'm a hairdresser part of

time. I wash a trim nope dye jobs I do I did change my hair. I know it is. Did you

Neil diamond interpreter I was looking for the right way to say and you just

Patsy Climes songs like I want to do. Oh, I mean, maybe while you're doing a

This is late. How you doing tonight? Not good Sink softer She's going to a

retirement home. I'd like to say that she's less grumpy in the day, but I'd be

lying What's that that's very pretty All right, she says things off her go and

softer She was One day Beside my bed Dolls I saw Where I don't know where

you're going to make me. You are the sun, I am the moon. You are the world, I am

the tomb, play me. Nice. The sun, she sang to me. The sun, she brand to me. The

words are brand to me. A prime that sprang from me all the night. The war was

right, it came me. You are the sun, I am the moon. You are the world, I am the

tomb, play me. My ex-husband, he's a good guy. And he really liked my singing at

all. But when I started trying to book gigs, he just started making fun of it

like it was a threat or something. I don't know why he wanted to make me feel

so small but he sure did. I got to say with me and my ex, I was the one making

her feel small. Selfish, angry, I was wrong. But I'm here, you know, trying to

be better. You know it, we all. And so it was that I came to travel. Upon a roller

was found and narrow. Another place. Another place which saved me. You are the

sun, I am the moon. You are the world, I am the tomb, play me. You are the sun, I

am the moon. You are the world, I am the tomb, play me. I am the sun, I am the

moon. I am the sun, I am the moon. And hey, I was thinking, I was thinking we

should call ourselves in. Oh, like a tribute band name. Yeah, so I'm thinking,

lightning and thunder, a kneel diamond experience. Lightning and thunder. Yeah.

So you be lightning and I be thunder. Yeah. Yeah. That is not very professional

of me, but I've been wanting to do it. Let's go home. Okay. Yeah. You went

alongside. You loved from me every day. It took getting closer, going faster.

There I know the cluster. Love like you is real. Surely come my way. I know I let

you down. But just know that I am very. Oh, is the word you said contrary? Can't

try. Can't try. He's very. Can't try. There's always that one friend you can't

say no to, even though they repeatedly crap on you. I hope I'm that friend. Hey

Tom. Okay, now, Tom is a good guy. He's got all the connections to all the

casinos and venues from Chicago to Branson. Mike, meet Tom the model. How

are you, Mr. Sardina? I'm huge. You may know, remember this, but I would sit at

the bar at the Chubby Bear. Oh, yeah. Every Thursday night and watch you play

with your first band positive trash. Yeah, we made some noise, but it was in

tune. You were really good, Mike. Really good band. Thank you. Well, I was talking

to your manager and he said that you're going to do a Neil Diamond show. A Neil

Diamond experience. My partner Claire and I, we start rehearsing with costumes and

everything next week. Costumes really well. Well, one day I see as being backed

by a big orchestra, maybe even a choir. I tell you, I tell you. I mean, I know

we've got to start small, right? If I want to play someplace like this, but one

day. But you've got to make sure you play sweet carol. Oh, we close with sweet

carol. Oh, we open. Sulemo. Sulemo. Sulemo. Sulemo. Sulemo. Sulemo. Sulemo. A

bit of smoke. Sulemo. Come on out. Sule. Sulemo. Sulemo. Sulemo. Sulemo. Sulemo.

Okay. It's not an African word. Like, so healing. I think it might be Hebrew, like

Solomon. No, no, it's Arabic. It's a cold celebration. The audience are out flock

and we are the shepherd. I just got some chills while. We're going to get that

because you know gig for you. But it's going to take building a lot of momentum.

But Mikey, we have passion. And all I ask if you allow me to work in service of

that passion. We'd love to have you on the team. Music to my ears. My baby.

Welcome aboard. Thank you so much. I have to roll right now, sorry. But we will be

in touch. Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you had a great time at the Shano Casino.

The manager bus will be leaving in ten minutes for the Puddle-Autemy Hotel and

Casino. See you. Puddle-Aut! I don't know how long this rehearsal is going to take.

I don't want anyone asking me that. You really have to calm, right? It's kind of

weird. Every time he comes to pick me up, he tries to connect with you and you do

not make it easy, Rich. He's very nervous about you coming. So to make him more

comfortable, he invited his daughter. What? It's your age. This is until she's

laid-back. You're older. Oh, geez. Why does everything have to be so hard? What

am I saying? I just want to sing and be happy and feel loved. And I don't want

everything to be such a big deal. Come on, come on. Hey. Wave. Wave to him. Hey.

Smile and wave at him. Damn it. Nice. My dad bought this place the run I wasn't

finished. And I get like 10 planes a day. Except Sundays. So, do you split your

time between your mom and your dad? Um... Not really. No, I mean... My dad's cool,

but... No, I get it. It's better for me to be full-time with my mom and Florida,

but... Don't get me wrong. My dad's great. He's just... He's artistic. Hmm.

Artistic. Yeah, I... I know all about that. Hey, Mike, can you open the garage?

It's getting really hot in here. I would. A lady across the street was giving me

the E.O.I. as we was packing the drum. So, maybe not. Born. We still give it up

our situation we discussed with me playing with the S-quires. You'd be

playing four free gigs just for all of us to do one show. Yeah, I understand. I

just say, you know, I can't pay you anything right now, that's all. Came in

for you, brother. But, you're lady ain't wrong. It's hot as Satan's balls open the

door. Yeah. Alright, maybe just a little bit. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. Do you

need any quarters of a bill? Alright. What are you doing here? Buddy Holly died

at 22. I'm 52, and I've been keeping that guy alive 30 years past his prime. I

don't even need these. What I'm saying is, I'm here if you need me. I didn't

bring an amp. Yeah, we got you. Alright. My dad, he was a tunnel rat in Vietnam.

They would send him into the tunnel's underground where the enemy was hiding,

and they had a booby trapped, so sometimes he'd have to crawl over dead

bodies. So yeah, he used to drink. My mom, she can get depressed, so she's on

meds. I try to keep up with it for her because she can get scattered. You know,

most recovering alcoholics just trade one addiction for another, and music's that

for dad. Without music, you can get... What'd you call it? Scared? Yeah. I think

we covered all our fucked up family history. Most of it? I might feel a

little more... Maybe a little. Hey, listen, I know we just met, too, but I

would join it. You know, I thought I smelled it on me. I got a song been on my

mind. And the tune, give me some, and the words all rhyme. Dealer, dealer, dealer,

dealer, dealer, dealer. Though I don't say much in a word of fact, If you're

singing at school, then live on a sand, yeah, home. I've never known what you're

showing. Think you're growing your own TV. I could learn it. Maybe here that can

be near that question, you know, the sweet. Oh, yeah. Drop your string and

stop your drinking. Crouching the no -laws' need. Shake it out. All right. I

wouldn't go any shorter than this, though. No, I wanted to ripple and wave

when you win those, my sure. Win in a bar. How? Like a leaf blower. You have

one, sure. I know man was out of touch. That ain't hot in the house, ain't

dancing but. Silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, silly,

silly. I used to do this as a little girl. Get it, get it. Get it, get it. Get

it, get it. Later. I was drinking. Drums over here. Up there! Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Can be near that, can be near that question, no-laws' weed. Drop your string

and stop your drinking. Crouching the no -laws' need. I'm gonna sing it out. All

right. Hey, come on. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I was scared you were

gonna hit your head. If you live long enough, you can see your dreams die slow

death. Young people don't know how good they have it. Not because they can touch

their toes and screw all night. It wouldn't learn that most things just

don't work out. Most times, you just mess it up. So it's easier not to try. We're

all just looking for some hope. But my age folk is hard. Hope's not enough. Oh.

Oh. Oh. God. Oh. I'm just gonna say something. I'm just gonna say something.

I'm just gonna say something. I'm just gonna say something. I'm just gonna say

something. There seems to be a bit of a miscommunication. When I booked this gig

a month ago, it was my understanding. But there was a motor home convention in

town. Being that, that's what I was told. So I didn't, I did not say that. You said

the Emerald Motor Home Convention. I said Emerald Lion Motor Club reunion. And you

said you had a classic rock band like CZ Top or CCR. Neal Diamond, the classic.

Tom, Tom, Tom, I still don't see the problem. You see Mike with these motor

home types? I think we're in the pocket, you know, with these blinkers. They love

Neal Dines. I don't know. Look at them. They got leather chains. I think they're

Neal Diamond and some chains. That's a lot of leather. You ain't got nothing.

These hog squashes can dig. Mike, why don't we put Claire first? I mean, look

at her. She's pretty. She's nice. Heresy and crazy. But what else Leonard's

skinned, son? They love one and skin. You know, I can't sneak my way through sweet

home Alabama. No, no, we're not changing our show, all right? At least that was

sweet Caroline. Nobody here is going to appreciate the air big incantations of

Salomon. Salomon. Salomon. He could move up Kentucky woman. Open with America.

America? I'm in charge of this band and I'm telling you we open with Salomon. If

you got the fans, yeah. I got the fans. Travelers of our nation, Sampled Highway.

Welcome to Judy's town. I am lightning, this mission of beauty is thunder. We re

-greedings with a great city of Chicago. We're strong to the comfortable weather

jacket wearing entertainment meals. I'm in. We all like to get good girls. Got

her my walk. Lord of my need. Need her. Need her. Need her. Oh, you want some

trash. Oh, I know I want some damn water. Lord of my days. You stay with me. Hey,

people. Get out of my mouth. Night. Night. Be by the way. Way, way. Take it

with me. It's my girl. Oh, no. She's crying. She's crying. Let's rock her

roll. She's crying. Let's roll her roll. Hey, hey, hey, come on. Hey, come on. All

right, that's a get rid of the jacket. I just blew up here with just trying to add

a two-pulsing socks. What did you say? You heard me, Nelly. Oh, my God. Oh, my

God. Oh, my God. Oh, it's Nelly. The first manager in the history of the ball.

That's only such nice and hard. What did you say? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, Tom,

here. All right, it's OK. I'm a bleeder. Oh, God. It's not bad. It's just a

nosebleed. It's not bad. Hey, Tom. Can you drop? Because if you can, one of us

could. No, I have to, Ricky. It's a liability insurance issue, you know, the

requirement. Tom, put this in your nose. Is? Yeah, just hold it in there so it's a

blood-dead coming out. Yeah, one of all there on the side. Don't like it, I'm

sorry. It would be safe. OK. Oh, oh, oh. That, that, that. That old plan for how

tonight would go on us. No one's self. Well, you made it very clear that you are

in charge of this band and make the decision. So I guess if it was Adana,

summer tribute band, I'd be calling the shots. But I think it's a good idea to

have a good time. But now I know. It's your show. I mean, would it have killed

you to open with Sweet Caroline? There's more than Neil Diamond than Sweet

Caroline. He's got hundreds of songs. And all anybody wants to hear is Sweet

Caroline. Bob, Bob, Bob. That's right. That's what they want to hear. After the

show, I was going to take you to this fancy hotel with a big suite. And I don't

know if you can eat buffet. And I was going to propose. What? Yeah, I got you

ringing everything. But if you're not in, who maybe we'll still hit that buffet?

They've got a guy there that does omelets and crepes. Mm. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. What?

To you and Adana, to everything. Oh. OK, wait, one thing. Anything. We open with

Sweet Caroline. Agree? I do. Where are the games? I can't begin to know what I

would like to welcome you to this celebration of marriage. Marriage is a

trauma between two people who love each other. Who trust that love? I want to eat

all the other individual's and that togetherness. And who wishes to spend the

rest of their lives together, keeping yourself solely on their hands, as long

as you make it. I do. And the power in short to the team has pronounced you

husband and wife. Now, keep checking. Keep checking. Keep checking. Keep

checking. Keep checking. Keep checking. Keep checking. Keep checking. Sweet

Caroline. Agree. Keep checking. Your time's never seen so good. I've been

inclined. Agree. Keep checking. Keep checking. I believe they never will. But

no. I. We need to hit two venues in under four hours. We got a 17-year-old show in

good times. Charlie's in the night. Here we go. Oh, boys. Look at the night. And

it don't seem so lonely. We fill it up with only two. And when I heard.

Herkman's awesome shoulders. How can I hurt when I'm holding you? Are you ready

to rock out to some kneel, Diver? Yeah! Charlie won. We're reaching out. Charlie,

we're reaching out. Oh, sweet Caroline. Agree. Keep checking. Keep checking. Keep

checking. Keep checking. Keep checking. Keep checking. Keep checking. Keep

checking. Oh, my heart drops. He's such a good looking man. I'm Claire Sardina

saying, Patsy Klein songs, Mike Sardina saying, Rock and Roll medley's, but

together they are lightning and thunder. A kneel down and tribute the people in

Milwaukee. Can't seem to get enough of. I just love lightning and thunder. They are

my fans. You know, you're gonna see lightning and thunder in Las Vegas. Oh,

sweet Caroline. I think that's my new favorite song. Sweet Caroline. Bob Bob

Bob. Sweet Caroline. Bob Bob Bob. Good times never seems so good. Bob Bob Bob.

Sweet Caroline. Bob Bob Bob. I believe they never could. It's the question. Tell

me something that people are struck by. Lightning. Oh, lightning. Yeah.

Lightning. Lightning. Yeah. Lightning. Oh, no. Rachel, can you please make me

speak any more once fished, and I'm dying. Mike. Eddie on the phone for you.

My show, baby. Auto shop Eddie or another Eddie. No, cool. All the way. Lightning.

Yeah. I mean, like a commercial. I mean, we've done car shows before. We've never

had. Like a concert for jelly. Hold on. What's a Pearl Jam? What about Pearl Jam?

That's what I'm asking. This guy says is with Pearl Jam. Give me the phone. Who

the hell is this? What's a Pearl Jam? It's a band, Mike. You know who Pearl Jam

is? Oh, Pearl Jam's a who? Could you hold, please? Yeah. So, um, I think I'm

going to throw up right now. This is Eddie Vetter. Eddie Vetter's on the phone

right now. Say something and not stupid. Yeah, lightning speaking. Uh, let me

dream. Give it up for any better. Give it to me. Give it to my love for all the

holy wine. Yeah. Nothing around the sun in my heart in your sight. You've already

going, Hater? And the rape show is fixing her boyfriend's car. She's not fixing it.

I know how to do it. She just wanted to show me. Everybody on the block has

flowers and bushes and then you look at this and we have nothing. So I want

flowers and color and beauty. Look at that. Four shows a week at the Shano

Casino. Two shows on Saturday. Two shows on Saturday. This is a new width curl

jam. We're in the big tank. Hey, Bob, how you doing? How am I doing? Huge. All

right. Which way are you facing? Over here? Where you on it? In the corner?

Over here? I think that's good. Are you going to put on some fans? Yeah. Shoot me

from the waist up. All right. Tell me when you're ready. I'm ready when you

are. All right. This is a pre-recorded message to be played on July 28th. Hello.

My name is Mike and I'm an alcoholic. That's the part we all say. Hello, Mike.

Hello, Mike. Hello. Very good. Today is my 21st. So we're birthday. And I won't

be able to be there with you today because I'll be playing my new gig at the

Shano Casino. But I thought maybe even though I can't be there, I would sing you

my song just to... Well, I'll just let you all know how important you all are to

me. This is not a sad song. A sad song to sing when you're gone. Oh, no. In a way,

it's a glad song. Yeah, a glad song. A simple song that simply seems to make you

feel good when you sing. Come on. Oh, I'm so sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, my God. Oh,

my God. Oh, Dan! Dan! Where's Christina? That's her daughter? What's going on?

What happened? A car! What? Why did she do it? A car! We've increased the price.

What's going on? What's going on? Johnny, Johnny. She's getting into the waiting

room. Take the car. She can't decide. She's gonna be... Okay, listen to me. Is

that guy on the show you like? You got the eye-brow. What are you talking about?

What is this? Okay, so he's about to go down. I knew I was gonna take care of

him. No, I need him. No, listen to me. I got a jacked-up heart. I've had a long

time. You need to get a doctor. No, no, no. We're gonna do my plans. It's gonna

be okay. Listen to me. Right, so okay. I'm gonna pass out. I'm gonna do it.

You're gonna join me back. Just like George does. Now remember I showed you

how to jump a car. It's just like that. I've done it before. You can do this.

You're gonna hold that. You're gonna put that one up here. I'm gonna put that down

here. Alright, you can do it. It's right here. You can do it! I'll do it. I have

to go for the one. AHHHHH!! Help. Help me! Help! Help me? Help me! Help me! Help

me! Oh Claire Hey Oh god, Claire what happened? I just forgot Oh She's Oh Come

on baby I'll take you I can see you Yeah All right It's only been three weeks

since your accident is going to take time to adjust vanished Those motor skills can

take control. I know especially in the middle of the night. I know I just don't

want to dwell on it and get stuck if I have to make adjustments I just want to

make them and move on and I think we'll come. Do you need to allow yourself some

time? Please understand Mr. Sardina. This isn't something that needs to be paid in

full today. The old guy that lost control and ate my wife at the car. His family

isn't able to provide the settlement money for another six months. What am I

supposed to do in the meantime? There is just a member of insurance that your wife

can qualify for that to cover a sizeable portion of the cost. That's a different

department that I'd be happy about. You can touch with them and we still need to

bill your insurance company. Insurance? Miss, do you know any musicians? We broke

as a joke. Me and Mike we started singing. We were really cooking. And I

could see it. I could be like a way to pay my bills and be able to say I look at

me. I made it. Take one every three to four hours for the Phantom Pains. I was

so close. Thanks, Doc. It's Wednesday. Your prosthetic therapy is in half an

hour. Okay? Yeah, I know. I don't think I can do that. Okay, fine. If you're going

to cancel again, how about you make the call? Because they don't buy my lies and

I'm sick of doing what? Can you just give me a minute? Mom, we got a good one. Oh,

you got to drive there and get in the car and it's going to take a second. Rach,

please. Just give me a minute. All right, fine. Just hurry up. Oh, give me a

minute. I said, give me a minute! Rach, all right, see you on the... Dinner's

ready. I'm going to go. I used any of it. I was like, I don't use it ever. Why do I

want to learn that? It looks like problem solved. Hey, what happened to therapy?

Are you serious? I mean, there was those four hours ago and you know what? I'm

not. Oh honey, grab a seat. Yeah, I got screwed on the mashed potatoes. We got

gravy just...no potatoes. Anyway. So, uh, maybe we take a little road trip. Down to

six flags. Get some sunshine, you know. A little adventure. I'm going to have a

little extra money. I mean, you got a job. You guys remember Cliff, you know,

sex machine? Does James Brown? He says he might have some work to me down in this

tie joint. He just needs an hose for karaoke. He thought I could fill in for

him. So you're going to play Neal Diamond songs? Uh, no. I mean, maybe a few, but

it's more of a hosting thing and other people singing, you know, carry only. You

know, it's only temporary. It's, you know, it's only mother of me can... Get

back on our feet. How are things going at home? Not. I know the band has other

gigs, but uh, maybe you and Claire can still use that karaoke machine. Right. So

I'm about to instrumentation. She won't get up out of bed. She's drugged, she's

a... a mind. Now, what does a duo do? If one doesn't want to do what the other's

doing? I believe in you, Mike. I always have. How I've been up here. Do you sing

anything current? Anything contemporary pop or just dad rock stuff? Dad rock,

like, it means like, you know, skinned, credence, steely band. Oh, yeah, I rock

with those guys. Yeah, I mean, sorry, you sing. You don't want me to sing those

songs? I'm not saying not to. I just want to hear Alia and Alana's every once in a

while. Yeah, Monica, Mariah. See, the thing is, I got more of a specified act,

like, sex machine here and me past year. I'm known for singing Neil Diamond music.

But, you can sing any music. Luther Bandro's, Usher, Jodasie. Kaobakwa, long

kling kong Neil Diamond, huh? Mm, Dan Kowangan. Kowangan, that MC karaoke

machine, you know? I don't know what I'm talking about. So, right on. So, the

moment you know So, the moment? Nobody knows So, the moment. They only know

Sweet Caroline. America, crackling rosy, you sing plainly? Anytime. Uh. Good to

meet you. I know. I'm putland, like, in your diamond. You do know who Jodas is,

right? Mm. You can do your Neil Diamond thing on Wednesday nights. Host karaoke,

Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Boom. Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, head of

family. Get out. All right. In something that people shake before they use it.

Yes, sir. Oh, oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Where? Where? Where? Where? Where? How many

something that men do better than women? As you were. Oh, hey, just ran. No, this

is lightning. I'm in Mike. Uh. Okay, yeah. No, sure. Tomorrow. No, we can be

there. All right. Go, good day, too. Why don't you pick up the phone? Uh. The

sister and she, uh. She wants to come up with some kind of parent teacher thing

tomorrow for Dana. All right. I got to get ready to go out. Where are you going?

Uh, I've got my night gig at the Tai Joint. Been doing it for weeks now, your

space cadet. Yeah. I am. I see you the way you look at those girls in the crowd,

you know. How they look back at you are not a fool. You think I got old peace on

the side because I'm so young and wealthy? I used to think it was so cute,

do you? Take the scarf and put it around all those hussies and kiss them. The

scarf was a bit, you know that? Yeah, for Elvis, not for Neil Diamond. You just

wanted to kiss him, Mike. You know, I really wish these medications would make

up their mind. Are you going to be like Blue Peanuts, give a shit? Are you going

to be angry and paranoid? You know what, my mom was right about you. You're just a

selfish son of a bitch. So why don't you go find yourself a new girlfriend and

give her a new nickname? You think you're the only one that's hurting every day? I

think about the big audience every day. But I'm here to try. I'm here. What a...

Whoa, shit at me! You want to throw something else? Goddamn it! Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck! Take the leave. Oh, shit! What's up, you dumbass? Fuck! Oh, shit! They do

ever read about a frog dream to be in a king. And then became one. Well except

for the names, a few of the changes. You talk about me. The story's the same one.

Sorry, I'm a ghost. That's my dad. Um, lightning? It's my mother's birthday. She

died of lung cancer. Sad songs only. I'm the piece of lung. I am, I say. To know

all that. And no one heard at all that even the shit. I am a crash. I am a say

-i. You know, I... I talked to Rachel a lot. Rachel says that... You and Claire

have been fighting a lot more. So... Are you drinking? No. I'm wondering if the

ride would be a little less bumpy if I fell off the wagon. When was your last

meeting? Angie, what are you doing? You're my daughter, you're not my

sponsor. Well, everybody tells me to move on. I'm the guy that looks like Neil, why

do you need Claire? But they just don't get it. I... I love her. And I'm, I'm

losing her. Listen, just... Dad, would you just please go to a meeting? Please.

I... I... I... Why can't I forget you and start my life unknown? Instead of having

sweet dreams about you? Sweet dreams of you? Claire. Honey. Claire. Come on. Come

on down. Come on, let's go. Claire. Don't do this. Mike, you're embarrassing me. I

am not stopping. This is not your show. This is your computer. This is

embarrassing. Mike, I would never do this to you. No, no. And you're going to get

this whole part. Mike, let's go. No, I am not going any Mike. Come on. Oh, man.

What are you doing? What are you all doing up here? It's okay. This is tired.

Okay, we just... Mom, we just are trying to help you. Oh, no! This is my show. I'm

up here. I'm up here, Mike. I'm not going to stop the show. Come on, let's go.

Don't touch me. You're not even supposed to be up here. Baby! Come on! Come here.

Baby, come here. Come here. Come here. It's my show. It makes sense. There's a

72-hour observation period for all voluntary patients. Mental health

professional will assess her condition and determine the course of treatment and

length of stay. And if you could just fill out the medication she's currently

taking or anything she'll need over the next three weeks. I know. I'm a stranger

to you, what I can really use. Right now. It's for you to just tell me I'm doing

the right thing. Or... We're going to take really good care of her. Make sure

she gets what she needs, okay? Okay. Yep, yep, yep. Hmm? Yeah. Oh, Mike. I don't

think we've been apart for a few days. We've been married. It's okay. Okay.

Okay. It's okay. Thank you. Right through there. Oh, holy night. The stars are

brightly shining. Here is the night of our dear, Saviour's bird. Hey, I was

running back and speaking to the manager of the guy who does the hiring. My

radiator is hissing. I'm trying to get a job. Yeah, well, I'm trying to get to my

job. Being that I'm the only one that has one. Oh, there's not that. I'm sorry. All

right. Here you go. Here you go. Let's pour it in. But there's a leak. Yeah, it

will fix it. Let's just do it. It's got, like, little metal particles in it. That

heat up on the car is running and that melt simple to leak, welds are closed.

Slow, slow, slow. Yeah. I get it. There's people in this world that get new shit

and then there's people like us just patching up broken shit. I know this has

been our view. Somewhere along the way I got put in charge of everyone's problems.

I worry about my mother. I worry about Dana. You're gonna be telling me to touch

your chest. I worry about you. I know what you're worrying. Trust me, the scene

with your mother is gonna get better. I'm pregnant. Oh, okay. When? Like four

months ago. Four months. Oh my god, how do we miss it? Because you're all crazy.

I'm huge, how can you not see? I'll put on some pounds. I just sort of a family

phase. Is it the guy who were? No, that's over. Can't be counted on. And I guess

you cannot... Okay. Okay. Okay. So we got this thing in the Marines. It's called a

SMIAC. It stands for Situation, Mission, Execution, Administration, Command. It's

a way to break down a problem real simple. Okay. So what's the situation?

I'm not up. Okay. Okay. So what's the mission? What do you want to do about it?

I want to give it to a couple that wants to have a baby. Okay, so that's the

mission. Okay. Now we've got to ask you, we've got to have the kid. I already

called the Adoption Information Center. And there's a potential couple that could

assist in medical bills and all that. Okay, so you already took care of the

AFRA Administration. That just leaves command. So who do you want to be in

charge of all this? You know, helping you. My mom? Whenever my good runoff to

his A meeting, I was always pretty ugly about it. I was like, why can't you just

deal with your problems without all the talking? I can talk. And I can talk too.

And I talk a lot. Sometimes I talk so much I don't even know what I'm saying

half the time. And the thoughts they just like go around in my head, spin around

all the time. That's where the singing helped. And something happened when I

would sing patty-cline songs. Like I just disappear in the music. Yeah, just

disappear. Yeah. The accident took my leg, but I shouldn't let it take my

singing away. That's mine. All mine. Can I, Mom? Good night to you. Love you.

Okay, I love you too. Thank you. Love you. Love you. Good night. Is it made of

powder coffee? No, thank you. You want to watch a show? I don't know. Unless you

do. When you go back to work. You start back at the shop tomorrow. What about

karaoke? We just got home. I'm just asking a question. No, no, you're getting

ready to argue. I just don't know what's okay to say and not to say since you went

to that place. If you have any questions, I can answer them for you. I didn't get a

lobotomy. Not yet. Well, I'm not doing a karaoke thing because I'm not doing

lightning anymore. That's over. Lightning is... It's just nothing without you.

Maybe you're not going to be there with me. I got no... I got no sound to sing. I

got nothing. Thank you. I don't need it. Oh, I'm... Breathe, honey. I... I've been

doing a lot of talking. You know, like you do at your meetings. When I've been

figuring things out in my head. I think that the struggle with my prosthetic, I

think it was more in my head than my leg. I felt hurt and... and... ugly. Like I

had all this anger inside of me and fear and it just cracked. No, look, the folks

at the hospital, they talk about having an emotional catharsis. It's like where

you let everything go and just move forward. I don't think I've had that yet

because everything still feels very scary for me. You know, walking and standing,

singing. But maybe if you're there with me, I can have that catharsis. Okay. Hey,

y'all, I'm coming out tonight at the Chantai. We got a great night here for

you. Yeah, we just carry out the night on Friday night. Saturday night, Sunday

night. I've seen you here. It's a lot of fun. And there's also the all-you-can-eat

buffet, my native Friday. But tonight I got something special. My name is

said Bruce, I love him. Where was that? Where was that? Alpine Valley Music

Theater. You were a kid in grade school. But we played for like two extra hours

and everyone was freaking out and dancing on the lawn. That was this, that was

this! Me and Bruce. No, I gotta say and I don't mean any disrespect to Mr. Eddie

Vetter. Uh oh. Be cheerful, mom. I think tonight we were just his biggest pro

-chan. It's all out of the crowd. No, I gotta say our fans are just as big and

just as loud. Oh, we're almost at God out, Papa. Oh my God! Oh, sweet Kizala!

Good times never seems so good. Oh, are you good? Are you ready? I'm cute, baby.

bus. He's out his way. Come on, Mike. Come on! Mike! Mike! Mike! Mike! Mike!

Mike! Mike! Mike! Mike! Mike! Mike! This is hot. I'm not good at writing speeches,

but I guess I've never written one, so it'll be perfect. You too always know

what to do. Why did he say about it? I feel like I don't know how to do

anything. Except gradually, he car radiator. Can you? Maybe he wasn't wrong

about us. He wasn't. He looked nice. Oh, thank you. Sometimes I forget about your

leg. Yeah. Me too, and then I take a step. You don't have to say today.

Somebody else can do it if it's too much for you. I know. But it's something I

have to do. Not just for me. Hi. This is gonna be hard. Every time we would play a

gig, everyone wants to hear sweet Caroline. And my good-gets-so-man. He

believed there was so much more to Neil Diamond's music, so many more songs. And

there was more to Mike than being lightning. He was a soldier, a father, a

friend. He was the love of my life. And really, I'm standing here because of him.

So, he is honored when I get myself together. And I'm in his sing, I sing.

And Neil Diamond's song is not as well known as sweet Caroline. But Mike, it's

beautiful. I sing the line. And I sing the flame. And I sing the flame. And I

sing your eyes before. And I'm sure you'll see your eyes again once again.

For I have been released. And I have been a good. And I have sung my song before.

And I'm sure to sing my song again once again. And I sing the flame. And I sing

the flame. And some people gotta sing. And some people gotta sing. And some

people never see the light. Until the day they die. But I have been released. And I

have been a good. And I have been a good. And I sing the flame. And I sing the

flame. And I sing the flame. Just one more time. All right. Any, right? Are you

sure? I'm positive. I can see you too. All right. Hey everybody. My name is Mike

and I'm an alcoholic. Today is my 22nd of Silver Birthday. But I can't be with you

here today because while we're getting ready for our big comeback, it's really

exciting. And you know what before I sing, I just want to tell you something.

We're all here doing the best we can. Right? Very, very best. And if we can

just look out for each other and be strong and above all be grateful, maybe

we can just, I don't know, we can turn things around. We can make the world a

better place. What do you say? All right. Anyway. This is not a sad song. A sad

song to sing when you're alone. Oh no, no. In a way it's a glad song. Yeah, a

glad song as simple too. That simply seems to make you feel real good when you

sing. Come on, sing along. I know it's early. Song, song, woo, everybody knows

one. Every garden grows one. Song, song, woo, everybody knows one. All right. I'm

ready. Me and you are subject to the blues now and then. All clear. When you

take the blues and make a song, you sing them out again. You sing them out again.

I get to hear it. Sounds real good. Come on now. Song, song, woo, weeping like a

blue low. Sleeping on my pillow. Song, song, woo, weeping on my pillow. It's a

funny thing. Funny thing. But you can't sing it when the crying your voice. I'm

afraid you know it can't feel good. Beauty and color. You simply got no

choice. Song, song, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. Thank you and good night.

I got a song been on my mind. And the tune give me some and the words all

rhyme. Get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get away, get

away. Though I don't say much and I won't offend. If you sing it at school, then

live or does it get a home? I never know what you're showing. Think you're

growing. You're all teed. Good lord. Let me hear that. Let me hear that. I'm

drinking all the sweet. Drop your shrinking, stop your drinking. Crouching

and no less need. Sing it out. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on.

Dream alone, maybe. Where I am, what I am, what I believe in. I live only. I

live only dream. I live only. I live only. Sing a song. Sing a song of song.

Sing it out. Sing it out. Sing it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Call the sun in the

dead of the night. Call the sun. It's gonna rise in the sky. Touch a minute,

you won't go right. Touch a minute, he's gonna fly. And I fly. And I fly. I live

only dream. Dream alone. I live only dream. I live only dream. I live only

dream. I live only dream. I live only dream. I live only dream. I live only

dream. Nothing next to baby is true If you pardon me, I'd like to say It's too

old to be the river in the trees Baby tonight Baby tonight by the fire All

alone you and I Don't think around the sound of my heart is right But it's

awesome It don't sing at dance and it don't walk As long as I can and you're

here with me How much better be the river in the trees baby But it's awesome It

don't sing at dance and it don't walk As long as I can and you're here with me How

much better be the river in the trees baby How much better be the river in the

trees baby
