- WHOA,
I KNOW YOU'RE LATE,

BUT DON'T DROWN
IN A GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE.

- I OVERSLEPT.
- OH, DREAM OR, UH, INSOMNIA?

- DREAM.
- BOY DREAM OR SCARY DREAM?

- BOY DREAM.
- OOH, SPILL IT.

- MOM.

- I CAN DO GIRL TALK, LO.
I'M A GIRL TOO, YOU KNOW.

- IT'S FINE.
IT WAS HARMLESS.

EDDIE WAS TALKING TO ME
ABOUT MY SONG.

WE KISSED.
- OH!

- IT WAS ALL MYSTERIOUS
HOW HE CAME IN.

VERY TWILIGHT-Y.
- HUH.

- IT WAS JUST A DREAM KISS
THOUGH.

- MM! NO, BUT IT'S YOU
COMING TO TERMS WITH REALITY.

YOU'RE A GREAT SONGWRITER,
AND DEEP DOWN,

YOU KNOW THERE'S A POSSIBILITY
YOU COULD WIN THIS CONTEST.

- HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

I WAS JUST TELLING YOU
ABOUT A DREAM

WHERE I GOT
HOT AND BOTHERED,

AND YOU TURN IT
INTO AN AFFIRMATION

ABOUT MY ABILITY
TO WRITE SONGS.

- IT'S A GIFT.

PLUS, I'M GIVING YOU
BONUS POINTS

FOR USING THE WORD
"AFFIRMATION."

NICE.

- YOU'RE LIKE A NINJA MOM,

BOOSTING MY SELF-CONFIDENCE
WITHOUT BEING DETECTED.

- DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING YET
ABOUT THE CONTEST?

RESULTS, PERHAPS?

- IT'S WAY TOO SOON
TO EVEN CHECK THAT.

- RIGHT. YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.
- YEAH.

- JUST A QUICK CHECK.

[knocks on door]

- KNOCK KNOCK.
- POPS, HEY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE
SO EARLY?

- WELL, YOU KNOW,
I KNOW MUSICIANS

DON'T LIKE TO WAKE UP
BEFORE NOON,

BUT I FIGURED
I'D BREAK THAT TRADITION.

- YEAH, BUT YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN TO SLEEP YET.

- I LOOK THAT BAD?

- YOU GOT A LITTLE
WALKING DEAD THING GOING ON.

- YEAH.
- BUT I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

WHAT'D YOU BRING ME?

- A COUPLE OF MOCHA LATTES
WITH SOME REAL SUGAR.

NONE OF THAT FAKE STUFF.

AND I GOT YOU ONE OF THOSE
CINNAMON RAISIN BAGELS YOU LIKE.

- STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE?
- YEAH.

- HA HA, LOOK AT YOU.

YOU GOT CARBS, GLUTEN, DAIRY,
SUGAR, AND CAFFEINE?

- OH, YEAH.
- WHO ARE YOU, MY DRUG PUSHER?

- [laughs] YEAH. WE ALL
PICK OUR POISONS, RIGHT?

I PROMISE NOT TO RAT YOU OUT
TO YOUR PERSONAL NUTRITIONIST.

- THANK YOU.
SO WHAT'S UP?

WHY DO YOU HAVE THIS WHOLE
ZOMBIE LOOK GOING ON?

- HMM, I DON'T KNOW.

LAST NIGHT, AFTER YOU LEFT,
I COULDN'T WIND DOWN,

SO I WENT TO THE CLUB.

MAN, THAT PLACE IS A MESS,
BIG TIME.

I DON'T THINK
WE'RE GONNA BE READY.

I'M FREAKING OUT HERE.

- ANYTHING I CAN DO?
- PRAY.

- THAT'S NOT WHY YOU'RE HERE,
IS IT?

- YOU SEE, THAT'S WHY
I DON'T PLAY POKER.

- [laughs]

IS IT CHLOE?

- [sighs]
- KNEW IT.

- LOOK, I HATE TO DO THIS,
I DO,

BUT MARRIAGE, REALLY?

- DAD, WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER
FOR ALMOST A YEAR

AND KNOWN EACH OTHER
FOR TWO.

- A VIRTUAL LIFETIME
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

- I DON'T NEED A LIFETIME TO
KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT CHLOE.

- IS SHE PREGNANT?
- NO.

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION
IS THAT?

- I JUST--
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE RUSH.

- THERE'S NOT A RUSH, OKAY?

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS
FOR A WHILE NOW.

- MARRIAGE ISN'T
SOMETHING YOU DO

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT COMES NEXT.

- WHY ARE YOU SO AGAINST THIS?
- I'M NOT.

I'M NOT AGAINST IT
AT ALL.

IT'S JUST, I'M AGAINST IT
BEING SO DAMN FAST.

YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR
YOU WERE TELLING ME

YOU WEREN'T SURE
IF SHE WAS THE ONE,

AND THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN,
YOU'RE LIKE,

"HEY, DAD, LOOK,
I BOUGHT A RING."

- YOU AND MOM
GOT MARRIED YOUNG.

- YEAH,
BUT IT WAS DIFFERENT.

YOU KNOW, WE'D GROWN UP
TOGETHER.

WE--
[sighs]

WE HAD A HISTORY,
NOT JUST TWO YEARS' WORTH,

AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE
THAT YOU AND CHLOE,

YOU KNOW, KNOW EACH OTHER
THAT WELL.

- I'VE LEARNED ENOUGH
ABOUT CHLOE

TO KNOW THAT
SHE'S THE ONE.

WHEN MOM DIED,
SHE WAS THERE FOR ME.

SHE PULLED ME
OUT OF A BLACK HOLE.

- AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO HER
FOR THAT, I AM.

- AND CHLOE GETS IT
'CAUSE SHE LOST HER PARENTS TOO.

SHE UNDERSTOOD
WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH.

AND WHEN I OVERWHELMED
WITH ALL THE PERFORMING

AND THE TOUR, SHE DROPPED
EVERYTHING TO BE WITH ME.

- YEAH, AND WHO'D TURN DOWN
A TRIP ON A PRIVATE JET?

- COME ON, DAD.

YOU'RE ACTING LIKE SHE'S WITH ME
BECAUSE I'M A ROCK STAR.

- YOU KNOW WHAT?
JUST--JUST BE CAREFUL.

- OKAY. LOOK,
CHLOE'S GOT HER OWN CAREER.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO SPONGE
OFF ME.

- ALL RIGHT, LISTEN,
I-I DID MY FATHERLY DUTY,

AND I CAME AND SAID
WHAT I HAD TO SAY.

THAT--THAT'S IT.

- I KNOW, AND I LOVE YOU
FOR THAT.

AND I THINK THE ONLY WAY
YOU'RE GONNA GET OVER THIS

IS TO SPEND MORE TIME
WITH CHLOE.

THEN YOU'LL REALIZE
WHY SHE'S THE ONE.

THE ONLY ONE.

- [coughs]

LILY. HEY,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- WHAT, YOU NEVER HEARD
OF A DROP-IN?

- COME ON IN.
WHAT'S GOING ON?

- I HAVE A MANI-PEDI
AND A FACIAL

ALL BEFORE
I GO ON AIR TONIGHT,

SO I'LL JUST CUT
RIGHT TO THE CHASE.

- OH, I LOVE IT WHEN
YOU GO INTO REPORTER MODE.

IT'S SO LOIS LANE.

- I'M NOT HERE
AS A REPORTER.

I'M HERE AS YOUR FRIEND.
- IF YOU SAY SO.

- THIS IS SERIOUS.

SOMEONE'S TRYING
TO TAKE YOU DOWN.

- TAKE ME DOWN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

- SOMEONE TRIED TO SELL
A PHOTOGRAPH TO MY SHOW

OF TYLER LEAVING
YOUR APARTMENT LAST NIGHT.

- OKAY.

- LIKE, HE'S COMING
OUT OF YOUR PLACE,

AND HE LOOKS LIKE
HE JUST GOT OUT OF BED.

- IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

THE PHOTO'S GOT TO BE
PHOTOSHOPPED.

- NO, WE HAVE WAYS OF
TELLING IF THAT'S TRUE,

AND THIS ONE'S REAL.

- HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

- YOU ARE DATING ONE
OF THE HOTTEST CELEBRITIES

THERE IS RIGHT NOW,
ALL RIGHT?

IT'S THE PAPARAZZI'S JOB

TO STAKE OUT
HIS GIRLFRIEND'S PLACE.

LOOK, CHLOE, HONEY,
I REALLY, HONESTLY DON'T CARE

IF TYLER WAS LEAVING YOUR
APARTMENT LATE AT NIGHT,

ALL RIGHT,
THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS.

BUT WE'RE FRIENDS,

AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU
DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD.

NOT TO MENTION WHAT IT'LL DO
TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH EDDIE.

AND YOU ARE MY BEST
AND ONLY WAY TO HIM.

- HOW DO I GET TO
THE ORIGINAL PHOTO?

- WELL, WHOEVER THIS PHOTOG IS,
ALL RIGHT,

HE WANTS REAL MONEY
FOR HIS LITTLE PICTURE.

IF MY SHOW DOESN'T BUY IT,
OUR COMPETITORS WILL.

THERE COULD BE
A BIDDING WAR.

- HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT?
- I AM NOT HERE FOR MONEY.

- THEN WHAT DO YOU WANT?

- AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH
YOUR HOTTER-THAN-HOT BOYFRIEND.

- EDDIE?
- THERE ARE OTHERS?

LOOK, YOU TWO
STILL ARE TOGETHER, RIGHT?

- OF COURSE WE'RE TOGETHER.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
COMING OVER HERE

ON SOME MISSION OF KINDNESS
BECAUSE WE'RE FRIENDS.

- I AM.
DO I NOT SOUND FRIENDLY?

- NO. EDDIE STILL CRINGES
AT THE SOUND OF YOUR NAME.

YOU REALLY BURNED HIM
WITH THAT INTERVIEW.

- ALL RIGHT, MAYBE I GOT

A LITTLE TOO PERSONAL
ABOUT HIS MOM,

BUT THIS TIME WILL BE ABOUT
HIS CAREER ONLY, I PROMISE.

- NO. HE'S NOT
GONNA GO FOR IT.

YOU'RE ASKING A LOT.

- I FIGURE IT'S A PRETTY SMALL
PRICE TO PAY, DON'T YOU?

LOOK, CHLO, I JUST
DON'T WANT THIS PHOTO

TO FALL INTO THE HANDS
OF SOME ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER

WITH NO ETHICS OR MORALS.

- I DON'T THINK I CAN CONVINCE
HIM FOR AN EXCLUSIVE.

- WELL, HE IS IN LOVE
WITH YOU, RIGHT?

I MEAN, HE WOULD DO ANYTHING
TO MAKE YOU HAPPY, WOULDN'T HE?

YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN,
CHLOE.

- [sighs]

[upbeat music]

*

[traffic]

[knocks on door]

- HEY, BABE,
YOU'RE HERE EARLY.

HAVEN'T HAD TIME
TO PUT MY FACE ON.

- STOP WITH THE CHITCHAT,
TYLER.

YOU GOT CAUGHT BY THE PAPARAZZI
LAST NIGHT.

- WHAT?
- OH, DON'T PLAY DUMB.

YOU'RE TRYING TO TELL ME
THAT YOU DIDN'T NOTICE HIM?

- THERE WAS SOMEONE THERE
SNAPPING PHOTOS,

AND HE YELLED, "GOTCHA."
- [sighs]

- YOU THINK THAT WAS
THE PAPARAZZI?

- THIS IS NOT A TIME
TO JOKE AROUND, OKAY?

I'M FREAKING OUT
RIGHT NOW.

HE'S SHOPPING THE PHOTO
AROUND.

I DROVE AROUND
FOR 20 MINUTES,

TRYING TO TAKE WEIRD ROUTES

AND GOING THROUGH
SKETCHY NEIGHBORHOODS

TO MAKE SURE
I WASN'T BEING FOLLOWED.

- YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
SO SCARED.

- WE HAVE TO MAKE THIS
GO AWAY IMMEDIATELY.

- HEY, IT'S NOT MY FAULT

THE PAPARAZZI WAS STALKING OUT
YOUR PLACE, OKAY?

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'D CARE
TO HAVE A PHOTO OF ME ANYWAY.

- THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU.
IT'S EDDIE.

HE WAS OVER AT MY PLACE TOO,
ONLY HE LEFT BEFORE YOU DID.

- I REMEMBER.

- EDDIE CANNOT FIND OUT
THAT YOU WERE AT MY APARTMENT.

I'M NOT GONNA LET
SOME SHADY PHOTOGRAPHER

RUIN EVERYTHING
THAT I'VE WORKED FOR.

- I DON'T SEE
THE BIG DEAL, BABE.

- IF EDDIE THINKS FOR ONE SECOND
THAT I'M CHEATING ON HIM,

ESPECIALLY WITH YOU, I MEAN,
IT'LL BE OVER.

- AND WE BOTH KNOW HOW I FEEL
ABOUT THAT.

- OH, IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA
HELP ME, THEN I'M LEAVING.

- WHERE'D YOU HEAR ABOUT
THIS BUDDING SCANDAL ANYWAY?

- IT DOESN'T MATTER,
BUT A FRIEND OF MINE

HAS SET UP A MEETING

WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHER
THAT TOOK THE PHOTO.

I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME.
- FOR WHAT?

- ACT LIKE A TOUGH GUY.
YOU'RE AN ACTOR, RIGHT?

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO EXPECT HERE.

- OKAY, OKAY,
I'LL HELP YOU.

I JUST NEED TO KNOW
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME.

- A CHANCE TO STAY ALIVE
IN THIS TOWN,

'CAUSE WITHOUT ME,
YOU'VE GOT NOTHING.

- BABE, DO YOU KNOW
WHERE I LEFT MY TABLET?

- NO.

- HEY, KELLY, MORNING.

HAVE YOU SEEN MY TABLET?
- NO, SORRY. WHAT'S A TABLET?

WHERE AM I?

- BABY, IT'S PROBABLY
RIGHT WHERE YOU LE--LEFT IT.

MEN CAN NEVER
FIND ANYTHING

UNLESS IT'S RIGHT
IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES.

- AND SOMETIMES
NOT EVEN THEN.

- SORRY. THANKS.
GOT A MILLION THINGS ON MY MIND.

- YEAH, NO KIDDING.

SO ARE YOU GONNA DISH

ON WHAT HAPPENED WITH GREG,
THE BIG RECORD PRODUCER?

- [groans]
- WHAT?

LAST I HEARD, YOU GUYS
WERE LIVING TOGETHER.

- IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY.

GIRL MEETS RECORD PRODUCER,
GIRL FALLS IN LOVE,

GIRL MOVES IN, RECORD PRODUCER
SAYS HE FEELS STIFLED,

HE NEEDS OXYGEN,
GIRL MOVES OUT,

GIRL SURFS ON SOFA
FROM BROOKLYN TO RIVERDALE,

GIRL QUITS RECORD LABEL JOB
TO AVOID SUFFOCATING PRODUCER,

GIRL HOPS
ON A PLANE TO L.A.

- I'M SO SORRY.
- ABOUT THE GUY OR THE JOB?

- WELL, GUYS LIKE THAT
COME AND GO,

BUT KEL, THAT WAS
YOUR DREAM JOB.

- I'LL GET ANOTHER ONE.
- ANOTHER DREAM OR ANOTHER JOB?

- ONE OF EACH, PLEASE.
- [laughs] ANY LEADS?

- NO, NOT YET.

- WELL, LISTEN, IN THE MEANTIME,
YOU ARE FREE TO STAY HERE.

IT'S NO PROBLEM,
RIGHT, JAKE?

- SURE, BABY, BUT I PROBABLY
WON'T MAKE IT HOME FOR DINNER.

- I DON'T WANT TO IMPOSE.

- WE'VE LIVED TOGETHER
BEFORE, KEL.

- YEAH,
BUT THAT'S WHEN IT WAS

JUST US TWO
SWINGING SINGLE LADIES.

- WELL, JAKE WON'T
CRAMP OUR STYLE.

WILL YOU, BABY?

- OKAY, BUT WE'LL
HAVE TO TAKE YOUR CAR.

- [sighs]

LISTEN, YOU DID
THE RIGHT THING,

COMING TO
YOUR OLDEST FRIEND.

- NO, I HAD TO CHANGE COASTS
TO TRY AND CHANGE MY LUCK.

MY HOROSCOPE TOLD ME TO, ANYWAY.
- OF COURSE.

- THAT, AND A JOSEPH ARTHUR SONG
FROM NUCLEAR DAYDREAM.

[both laugh]

- GOOD ALBUM.
- OH, THAT YOU HEARD?

- LISTEN, GOTTA GO.
BE HOME LATE.

- MM MM MM MM.
MAKE THAT MONEY, BABY.

I'M TRYING TO RETIRE AT 33.
YOU HEAR THAT?

[laughs]

- IT'S SO COOL
HOW WELL HE'S DOING.

- YEAH, IT'S SUPER COOL.

I JUST MISS HIM THOUGH.

- I DON'T REALLY
SEE THE UPSIDE

IN HELPING YOU
WITH THIS PAPARAZZI GUY.

- THE UPSIDE IS ME.

- YEAH, BUT IF
THE PHOTO GETS OUT,

YOU LOSE EDDIE,
AND I GET YOU.

- ONLY I WOULD NEVER
FORGIVE YOU

FOR NOT HELPING ME
GET THE PHOTO BACK.

LOOK, YOU HAVE ME IN THE WAY
THAT MATTERS TO YOU,

BUT IF THIS PHOTO GETS OUT,
NEITHER OF US HAVE ANYTHING.

LOOK, YOU HAVE TO HELP ME GET IT
BACK AND DESTROY IT.

- OKAY, FINE. I DON'T WANT
TO WIN THIS WAY ANYWAYS.

BESIDES, I'M ALWAYS UP
FOR A GOOD FIGHT.

- NOW THAT'S THE TYLER
I FELL FOR.

- YOU GONNA HAVE DINNER
WITH ME AFTER?

- OH, SO SOMEONE ELSE
CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF US?

RULES, HONEY, RULES.

- YEAH, THOSE ARE YOUR RULES
THOUGH.

YOU WANT TO STAY IN
LIKE OLD TIMES?

PIZZA
AND A HORROR MOVIE?

- CAN WE JUST FOCUS
ON GETTING THIS PHOTO?

- RELAX, I'VE DEALT
WITH PAPARAZZI BEFORE,

AND THEY SCARE EASILY,
OKAY?

- BUT THEY'RE ALSO
CAPABLE OF ANYTHING.

- SO AM I.
- [laughs]

IN THIS LIGHT,
ACTING LIKE THAT,

YOU KIND OF REMIND ME
OF RAY LIOTTA IN GOODFELLAS.

THAT WAS KIND OF HOT.

- WELL, I CAN PLAY THE TOUGH GUY
THING ALL DAY FOR YOU.

- OH, YEAH,
EASY, MAD DOG, EASY.

WE GOT WORK TO DO.

[school bell rings]

- YOU NEED TO START THINKING
ABOUT GETTING A DATE.

- WHY? I HAVE LESS THAN ZERO
INTEREST IN GOING TO THE DANCE.

- WHY NOT? IT'S OUR LAST
SCHOOL DANCE AS SENIORS.

- HAVE YOU SEEN THE GUYS
THAT WE GO TO SCHOOL WITH?

THEY'RE BARBARIANS.
- [laughs]

YEAH, BUT IT'S A DANCE.

STARS, MAGIC.
WHO KNOWS?

- WE HAVE NEVER GONE
TO A DANCE BEFORE.

WHY WOULD WE GO NOW?
- THINGS CHANGE. I'VE CHANGED.

I WANT TO GO, LIKE, A LOT.
NOT THAT ANYONE'S ASKED ME.

- SOMEONE WILL. THEY JUST NEED
TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED.

- OF COURSE I'M INTERESTED.
DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE IN MIND?

- MAYBE THERE ARE A FEW
NON-BARBARIANS OUT THERE

WHO MIGHT
WANT TO GO WITH YOU.

- WHO?
- I'M NOT GONNA SAY YET.

I'M JUST GONNA PUT THE WORD
OUT THERE ON THE STREET.

- WAIT, EXA--EXACTLY WHAT WORD
ARE YOU PUTTING OUT THERE?

AND WHAT STREET?

[traffic]

- * WHEN YOU CRY

- NORA, IS THAT YOU?
- OH, HI, DR. MASTERS.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?
- WHY DON'T YOU JOIN ME?

- OH, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT'S OKAY. IT'S NOT FAIR.

- COME ON. YOU'RE GONNA
BE LATE FOR WORK.

- IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY.
I-I HAVE A SHORTCUT.

- NORA, THESE PEOPLE DON'T CARE
IF YOU JOIN ME. COME ON.

- YOU KNOW,
I'M ACTUALLY FINE BACK HERE,

BUT THANK YOU THOUGH.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT,
DR. MASTERS.

- THAT'S OKAY. I LIKE IT
BACK HERE BETTER.

GIVE ME A CHANCE
TO PICK OUT A PASTRY.

- NOW YOU'RE GONNA
BE LATE FOR WORK.

YOU HAVE A 9:15
HIP SURGERY.

- DON'T WORRY. MR. FRASIER'S
NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

HE'S GOT A BAD HIP.
- [laughs] THAT'S AWFUL.

[both laugh]

- I'M GONNA BLOW ALL THE STOP
SIGNS WHEN WE GET OUT OF HERE.

I'LL BE THERE ON TIME.

- YOU REALLY DON'T MIND
BREAKING THE RULES, DO YOU?

- WHEN IT'S NECESSARY.
- HMM.

- THAT'S WHY YOU DIDN'T WANT TO,
UH, JOIN ME UP FRONT?

'CAUSE IT WAS BREAKING A RULE?
- WELL, YEAH, YEAH.

MISS MANNERS, YOU KNOW?
I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.

IT WOULD HAVE KILLED ME

TO JUMP IN LINE
IN FRONT OF THESE PEOPLE.

- SORRY TO PUT YOU
IN THAT POSITION.

I'LL NEVER ASK YOU
TO BREAK THE RULES AGAIN.

[overlapping chatter]

- HEY, LOREN.
- HEY.

- CHECKING TO SEE
IF YOU WON THE CONTEST?

- NO.

YEAH.

THEY HAVEN'T
ANNOUNCED IT YET.

I MEAN, NORMALLY,
I'M AS PATIENT AS THEY COME,

BUT THIS
IS MAKING ME LOOPY.

- HAVE YOU HEARD
THE NEW GARDENS & VILLA?

SUPER TIGHT.
- OH, YEAH?

WHAT ABOUT WHITE DENIM?

- I SEE YOU LIKE YOUR ROCK A
LITTLE LESS PRODUCED THAN I DO.

- STRIPPED DOWN,
AS THEY SAY IN THE BIZ.

BUT I LIKE IT PRODUCED,
LESS PRODUCED,

HI-FI, LO-FI, MEDIUM-FI,
SOUL, ROCK, HIP-HOP.

I MEAN, I BASICALLY LOVE IT ALL,
EXCEPT POLKA, AND EVEN THEN.

- HEY, SO WHEN ARE YOU GONNA LET
ME LISTEN TO ONE OF YOUR TRACKS?

- THAT'S NOT EXACTLY READY
FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

- THAT'S NOT
WHAT MELISSA SAYS.

- LIES, ALL LIES.
YOU CANNOT TRUST THAT GIRL.

ABOUT MUSIC. OTHER THINGS,
YOU CAN TRUST HER ON.

BUT SHE'D STILL BE LISTENING
TO SPICE GIRLS

IF IT WASN'T FOR ME.

- AGAIN?

- YEAH. THEY'RE ANNOUNCING
THE TOP 25 TODAY.

I KNOW I DON'T HAVE
A REAL SHOT,

BUT IT'S KIND OF LIKE CHECKING
TO SEE IF YOU WON THE LOTTERY.

YOU CAN'T HELP YOURSELF.

- LOREN, LISTEN,

THERE'S SOMETHING
I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT.

- ADAM, YOU KNOW YOU CAN
TALK TO ME ABOUT ANYTHING.

- THERE'S--
[laughs]

UH, HOW DO I PUT THIS?

- DON'T TELL ME
YOU LOVE THE SPICE GIRLS TOO.

I WAS JUST CRUSHING
ON YOUR SENSITIVE SOUL.

- NOT EXACTLY,

BUT I DO HAVE FEELINGS
FOR A GIRL.

- OH, IS SHE ALSO SPICY?

- [laughs]
YEAH, SHE KIND OF IS.

- I KNEW
YOU LIKED MELISSA.

YOU DENIED IT,
BUT I COULD TOTALLY TELL.

ADAM, THAT IS SO COOL.

- HAS SHE SAID
ANYTHING ABOUT ME?

- NOT YET.
- THEN WHY IS IT SO COOL?

- BECAUSE, ADAM, YOU GUYS
WOULD BE GREAT TOGETHER.

YOU SHOULD ASK HER
TO THE DANCE.

- REALLY?
- MM-HMM.

SHE TOTALLY WANTS TO GO.
SHE TOLD ME SO HERSELF.

AND NO ONE'S ASKED HER YET.

BUT I HAVE A FEELING SHE'S GONNA
GET AGGRESSIVE ABOUT IT,

SO YOU BETTER HURRY.

- I'M ON IT.
- OKAY. [laughs]

AND I AM GONNA STOP
OBSESSING OVER THIS

BECAUSE IT'S GONNA
DRIVE ME CRAZY.

OKAY.

- HEY, WANT TO DITCH FOR LUNCH?
- UH, MAYBE TOMORROW.

I'VE GOT AN APPOINTMENT.
- WHAT FOR? WHO ARE YOU TEXTING?

- NOTHING YOU NEED
TO WORRY ABOUT.

- OKAY, WELL, WHENEVER PEOPLE
START SAYING THAT,

I START TO WORRY.

- IT'S JUST SOMEWHERE
I GOTTA GO.

IT'S BUSINESS.
- YOU'RE DITCHING?

- I PREFER
TO THINK OF IT

AS RELEASING MYSELF
INTO MY OWN RECOGNIZANCE.

- WELL, TAKE ME WITH YOU.
- I CAN'T.

- WHY NOT?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS BUSINESS?
- WOULD I LIE TO YOU?

HMM?

I'LL BRING YOU BACK
SOMETHING NICE.

- [sighs]

- HEY, MEL.
- OH, HEY, ADAM.

- SO, UH, SCHOOL DANCE.
INTERESTING RITUAL.

ARE YOU PLANNING ON--
- HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

MAJOR NEWS. OH, MY GOD.
- WHAT'S WRONG?

- NO, NOT WRONG.
SO RIGHT. SO, SO RIGHT.

LOREN MADE THE TOP 25.
- IN EDDIE'S CONTEST?

- YES. OH, MY GOD,
THIS IS SO FANTASTIC!

I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN.
SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW.

I KNEW. O-M-G, ADAM.

NOW SHE NEEDS A DATE
FOR THE DANCE MORE THAN EVER.

SHE'S GOT TO WALK IN THERE

AND SHOW HERSELF OFF
AS A SEMIFINALIST,

RUB IT IN THE FACES OF ALL THOSE
WHO SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE.

OH, MY GOD, THAT'S MY GIRL.
AAH!

ADAM, YOU HAVE TO ASK HER.
- ME?

- YEAH.
- WHY?

- BECAUSE SHE WON'T SAY NO
TO YOU.

- BUT THAT WASN'T REALLY
MY PLAN.

- FORGET YOUR PLAN.
LOREN NEEDS A DATE.

SHE CAN'T GO ALONE.
OH, ADAM, THANK YOU.

YOU'RE THE BEST.

- HE ORDERED
ALL THE COFFEE THEY HAVE.

WE'RE NEVER GONNA
GET OUT OF HERE.

- IF YOU HAD JOINED ME
UP FRONT,

WE WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF HERE
A LONG TIME AGO.

- WAS IT REALLY SO TORTUROUS,
STANDING IN LINE WITH ME?

- NO, I'M JUST THINKING
ABOUT MR. FRASIER'S HIP.

- BUT JUST THINK HOW GOOD THESE
BEVERAGES ARE GONNA TASTE

BECAUSE WE WAITED FOR THEM.

- IF THERE'S ANY LEFT.
- [laughs]

OH, HI, UM, COULD I GET
A CARAMEL LATTE?

SKIM MILK,
EXTRA FOAM.

THANK YOU.

- LARGE BLACK COFFEE,
NO FOAM.

- OKAY, I'M PAYING FOR THIS,
I'M PAYING FOR THIS.

I INSIST, I INSIST.
COFFEE'S ON ME.

- IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY, NORA.
- NO, PLEASE, NO.

IT'S MY RULE
'CAUSE I MADE YOU WAIT,

SO I NEED TO PAY.

ONLY PROBLEM IS,
I LET LOREN GET--UHH!

- SORRY, I BROKE YOUR RULE.
- OH, OKAY.

AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE RULE,
THANK YOU.

BUT, UM, I'LL GET YOU
NEXT TIME.

- SO THERE'S GONNA BE
A NEXT TIME?

- UH--

- SORRY, DIDN'T MEAN TO PUT YOU
ON THE SPOT AGAIN.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

- YOU KNOW, AFTER ASKING YOU OUT
LAST NIGHT FOR A DRINK.

IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE
AND UNFAIR.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.

- WELL, YOU KNOW,
THERE ARE VIOLATIONS

AND MANY, MANY RULES,
BUT, UM--

- BUT RULES ARE MADE
TO BE ADJUSTED?

- UH, THANK YOU
FOR THE COFFEE.

[traffic]

- A&R FROM EPIC AND ATLANTIC
CALLED.

SUB POP WANTS A MEETING

ON THE SINGER-SONGWRITER
WE SAW LAST WEEK,

AND WE HAVE ABOUT 16 MILLION
EDDIE CALLS TO ROLL.

- COOL. HOW'S THE BUZZ
ON THE TOP 25?

- BUILDING LIKE CRAZY.

I'M WORRIED THE SERVER'S
GONNA CRASH.

- THAT'S GREAT.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S KEEP THE
EXCITEMENT BUILDING ONLINE.

AND, UH, WHAT'S MY SCHEDULE
LIKE, OTHER THAN CALLS?

- UH--
- WOW, LIGHT DAY.

- BUT, AS YOU CAN SEE,
I DID MAKE TIME FOR YOU

TO LISTEN
TO THE TOP 25 SONGS

IN BETWEEN THAT CONFERENCE CALL
WITH MIAMI

AND THE NOON INTERVIEW
WITH EDDIE AND BACKBEAT.

- CANCEL MIAMI.

THE CONTEST WAS MY IDEA,

SO I BETTER START LISTENING
TO THE 25 CONTENDERS RIGHT NOW.

- I'LL HOOK YOU UP.

[door opens and closes]

[electric guitar music]

- NO, NO, NO.
THAT IS PAINFUL.

[stops music]

- THAT SOUNDS PROMISING.
- WHAT?

- WHAT'S PAINFUL?
IS IT MY SONG?

- NO, NO.
YOUR SONGS ARE INCREDIBLE.

YOUR SONGS HAVE A BEGINNING,
MIDDLE, AND AN END.

YOUR SONGS
HAVE A POINT OF VIEW.

YOUR SONGS HAVE
HOOKS AND MELODIES

AND CHORUSES
AND BRIDGES.

YOUR SONGS GIVE PEOPLE
A FEELING

OTHER THAN PAIN
CHEWING THROUGH THEIR EAR, MAN.

THESE CONTEST SUBMISSIONS,
I DON'T KNOW.

- WELL,
YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME

A WHOLE LOT
OF CONFIDENCE HERE, BUDDY.

- WELL, I HAVEN'T LISTENED
TO ALL OF THEM.

THERE'S STILL A 75% CHANCE
WE COULD STRIKE GOLD.

- OKAY, WELL, LET ME
LISTEN TO SOME.

- NO, NOT UNTIL I FIND
SOMETHING WORTH LISTENING TO.

I DON'T WANT
TO SCARE YOU OFF.

- WELL, NOW YOU'RE
REALLY SCARING ME.

YOU'RE MAKING ME NERVOUS.

- * IT'S NOT FOR ME
TO SAY *

[dishes clattering]

- SO HOW DO I LOOK?
- VERY KANYE.

- YOU KNOW WHAT TO SAY?
- I'VE PLAYED THIS PART BEFORE.

- WHAT IF HE
DOESN'T SHOW UP?

- WHY WOULDN'T HE?
HE SMELLS MONEY.

- WHAT IF HE KNOWS
I USED A PHONY NAME?

- CHILL, OKAY?
HE'S GONNA SHOW UP.

- [sighs]

- OR DO YOU WANT ME
TO JUST TAKE HIM OUT?

I COULD WAIT OUT
IN THE PARKING LOT

AND STUFF HIM IN MY TRUNK
AND DRIVE HIM OUT TO TOPANGA.

- OKAY, EASY, MAD DOG.

I DON'T NEED A MUG SHOT
OF YOU OUT THERE TOO.

I'LL JUST TALK TO HIM,
IF HE SHOWS UP.

- I THINK HE JUST DID.

- YOU KAREN?
- AND YOU'RE--?

- VINCE.

- YOU KNOW WHAT?
SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

- WAIT A SECOND.
KAREN, MY ASS.

- NO, I DON'T THINK SO, OKAY?

- [laughs]
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

- MY MONEY IS JUST AS GREEN
AS ANYBODY ELSE'S.

- WELL, JUST KNOW,
EVEN IF I GIVE YOU THE PICTURE

FOR THE PRICE, OF COURSE,
I STILL HAVE A BACKUP.

- NO, THAT IS NOT WHAT WE
DISCUSSED OVER THE PHONE.

- WELL,
IF YOU WANT IT SO BADLY,

IT MUST BE WORTH A HELL OF A LOT
MORE THAN WHAT I'M ASKING.

- THIS ISN'T A NEGOTIATION,
OKAY?

WE AGREED ON A PRICE.

- ARE YOU TRYING TO
DOUBLE-CROSS THE LADY?

- STAY OUT OF THIS, PAL.
- THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

- OR WHAT, YOU'RE GONNA GET
TOUGH ON ME NOW?

- YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DON'T NEED TO
RESORT TO VIOLENCE

TO RUIN YOUR LIFE,
OKAY?

SO JUST HAND OVER
THE MEMORY CARD,

DELETE WHATEVER BACKUP FILE
YOU HAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER,

AND WE MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES,
AND YOU GET TO KEEP YOURS.

- HEY, I'M JUST TRYING
TO MAKE A LIVING TOO,

SO IF YOU WANT EVERY COPY
OF THE PICTURE,

YOU GOTTA PAY MY RATE.

- I'LL PAY WHATEVER LILY
WAS GONNA PAY,

AS LONG AS THIS ENDS HERE.

- $15,000.
- ARE YOU INSANE?

- IT'S A DEAL.

- YO, I LIKE THAT A LOT.
- COOL, HUH?

CHLOE INSPIRED IT.
- WHATEVER WORKS.

- SO THERE'S SOMETHING
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

- UH, TIME OFF,
TIME OFF, TIME OFF.

I KNOW, EDDIE. YOU WILL GET
SOME CHILLAX TIME, ALL RIGHT?

IT'S--RIGHT NOW WE HAVE
JUST TOO MUCH TO DO.

- NAH, IT'S NOT ABOUT WORK.
- IS IT ME?

I MEAN,
AM I NOT DOING

EVERYTHING
THAT YOU ASKED ME TO DO

PLUS PLENTY OF OTHER STUFF
YOU DIDN'T ASK ME TO?

I MEAN, IS MY 23-HOUR DEVOTION
A DAY TO YOU NOT ENOUGH?

DO YOU NEED
THE EXTRA 60 MINUTES?

- ARE YOU DONE?
- YEAH.

- IT'S ABOUT CHLOE.
- OH.

- I'M GONNA ASK HER
TO MARRY ME,

AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR
THAT IT'S A BAD IDEA.

- I, UH...WOW.

MAN, ARE YOU 100% SURE
THAT THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT?

- ABSOLUTELY.
- OKAY.

THEN I THINK--
I THINK WE EMBRACE IT.

SCHEDULE A BIG WEDDING,
HUGE PRESS EVENT,

SELL ALL THE PHOTOS
FOR A MINT,

AND MAYBE EVEN TIME THE RELEASE
OF THE NEW ALBUM WITH IT.

- WHOA, I DON'T WANT TO GET
ALL KARDASHIAN WITH IT, OKAY?

I'M GLAD YOU'RE ENTHUSIASTIC,
REALLY,

BUT I DON'T WANT TO PLAN
MY WEDDING WITH MY MANAGER.

- OKAY, THAT HURTS.
THAT CUTS REAL DEEP.

- IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.
IT'S UP TO CHLOE.

WHETHER SHE WANTS IT SMALL
OR BIG OR AT CITY HALL,

IT'S UP TO HER.

- FINE, WHATEVER.

LET ME JUST GO ON RECORD
AS TO SAYING

YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON
A HUGE OPPORTUNITY HERE.

WHEN YOU'RE AS BIG
AS YOU ARE, MAN,

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS
GOING SMALL ANYMORE, BRO.

- IT'S CHLOE'S CHOICE, OKAY?
DEAL.

- WOW, YOU ARE REALLY SERIOUS
ABOUT THIS, AREN'T YOU?

- LOOK, CHLOE'S VERY STEADY,
YOU KNOW?

AND I NEED THAT
WITH ALL THIS CRAZINESS.

- WAIT, WHAT CRAZINESS?
- [laughs]

THE CAREER,
THE FANS, YOU.

- OUCH, MAN.
THAT'S TWICE NOW.

- UH, LOOK, CHLOE'S ALWAYS BEEN
THERE FOR ME, ALL RIGHT?

AND I KNOW
SHE ALWAYS WILL BE.

SO I'M GONNA GRAB HER,
I'M GONNA HOLD ON TO HER,

AND I'M NEVER
GONNA LET HER GO.

AND I NEED YOU, OKAY?

I NEED YOU TO BE THERE
AS A BRO

AND BE COOL
WITH THAT.

- EDDIE...
[laughs]

I'M COOL WITH WHATEVER
KEEPS YOUR SPIRITS UP, MAN,

ALWAYS, ALL RIGHT?

YOU KNOW THAT.

[school bell rings]

- AH!
- OH!

- THIS IS SO AWESOME, LO.
IT'S AMAZING.

- HEY, ALL I DID WAS MOVE THINGS
ALONG FOR YOU GUYS.

SO HOW DID HE DO IT?
- WHO? DO WHAT?

- OH, NOTHING.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

- THE TOP 25.
- I MADE THE TOP 25?

- AH, SO I GUESS
EDDIE LIKED YOUR SONG

JUST LIKE I SAID
HE WOULD.

- OR SOMEBODY
WHO WORKED FOR HIM DID.

MAYBE HE DIDN'T EVEN
HEAR IT.

- OH, HERE SHE GOES AGAIN.

- WELL, I'M JUST SAYING.

- OKAY, SO MAYBE
THE LABEL HAD PEOPLE

WEEDING OUT THE JUNK,
BUT WHO CARES?

ALL THAT MATTERS IS
YOU MADE IT THIS FAR.

- OH, MY GOD,
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

- BELIEVE IT,
AMERICA'S NEXT GREAT ROCK STAR.

- WOW, SO NOW I HAVE
A 4% CHANCE OF WINNING.

- EH, BIGGEST MOMENT OF YOUR
LIFE, AND YOU'RE DOING MATH.

- MAYBE MATH
IS HOW I PARTY DOWN.

- I'M GONNA HIT YOU,
I SWEAR.

- HEY, CONGRATS, LOREN.

NOW THERE'S NO WAY
I CAN'T HEAR YOUR SONG.

- UH-HUH.
[laughs]

- YOU'RE NOT STILL TALKING
ABOUT THAT STUPID CONTEST?

LIKE YOU HAVE
A CHANCE.

G.I.U.,
GIVE IT UP.

- R.A.W., ADRIANA.
READ AND WEEP.

- WOW, TOP 25.

25TH PLACE.
"CONGRATULASH."

HAVE YOU SEEN MY BOYFRIEND?
- NO, SORRY.

- CHECK
THE MEN'S CENTRAL JAIL.

OH, I GOTTA RUN.
SEE YOU GUYS AFTER CLASS.

TOP 25, TOP 25.

- OH, HERE YOU GO.
JUST FILL THAT OUT. THANKS.

[phone chimes]

- OH, MY GOD.

AAH!

I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY,
I'M SORRY.

MY DAUGHTER MIGHT
JUST BECOME FAMOUS.

I'LL JUST BE QUIET
WHILE YOU WAIT. SORRY.

OH, MY.

- ADAM, WHAT HAPPENED?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GONNA TAKE THE PLUNGE.

- I WAS, BUT SHE
BEAT ME TO IT.

- WAIT, SHE ASKED YOU?
- NO, WE NEVER GOT THAT FAR.

- WHY NOT?
- SHE'S OBLIVIOUS.

SHE HAS NO IDEA I LIKE HER.
- I KNOW.

THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE
TO TELL HER.

- BUT WHAT IF
SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME,

YOU KNOW,
IN THE SAME WAY?

SHE'S NEVER SAID ANYTHING
TO YOU ABOUT IT,

AND YOU'RE BEST FRIENDS.

- MAYBE SHE'S SCARED
TO TALK ABOUT IT, EVEN TO ME,

JUST LIKE I WAS SCARED
TO ENTER THE CONTEST,

AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR
MELISSA PUSHING ME--

ADAM, SOMETIMES
YOU JUST HAVE TO GO FOR IT.

- THAT'S WHERE YOUR THEORY
BREAKS DOWN.

MELISSA WAS SO STOKED
TO HAVE YOU IN THE TOP 25

THAT SHE ASKED ME TO ASK YOU
TO THE DANCE.

- SHE ASKED YOU
TO ASK ME?

- SHE SAID
YOU WOULD NEED SOMEONE

TO COME SHOW OFF
TO EVERYBODY.

- THAT GIRL SUFFERS FROM
PREMATURE CELEBRATION SYNDROME.

- AMONG OTHER THINGS.
- ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.

HERE'S WHAT
WE'RE GONNA DO.

IF IT THAT'S IMPORTANT
TO HER, I'LL GO,

BUT I DON'T NEED
A DATE.

YOU'RE GONNA GO ASK MELISSA,

AND WE'RE GONNA DO IT
BEFORE ANOTHER GUY ASKS HER.

- I DO REALIZE THAT I'M JUST
ROPE IN YOUR TUG-OF-WAR.

ASK MEL, ASK LOREN,
ASK MEL.

- OH, YEAH?
HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?

- A LITTLE DIRTY.
- [laughs] ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE GONNA GO FIND MEL,
AND YOU ARE GONNA GO ASK HER.

LET'S DO IT.
[laughs]

[upbeat pop music]

- * SHE GETS HER KICKS

* WHAT AM I?

* SHE GETS HER KICKS

* JUST A FOOL
TO WISH AND PRAY *

* SHE'LL COME AROUND *

* LIFT ME 10 FEET
OFF THE GROUND *

* GOT ME OVER, UNDER,
SIDEWAYS, DOWN *

* SHE'S ALL RIGHT, SHE'S
ALL RIGHT, SHE'S ALL RIGHT *

* SHE'S ALL RIGHT,
SHE GETS HER KICKS *

* WHAT AM I?

* SHE GETS HER KICKS

* SUCH A FOOL

* SHE GETS HER KICKS,
YEAH *

- JAKE.

- JONAS.

MY MAN, YO, THANK YOU FOR DOING
THIS ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

- ANYTHING FOR ONE
OF MY BEST CUSTOMERS.

IT'S A SINCERE PLEASURE
TO MEET YOU.

- OH, LIKEWISE.

SO WHAT DO YOU GOT
FOR ME?

- [sighs]

- [laughs]

THAT'S WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.

- THERE'S NOTHING BETTER

THAN FINDING THE RIGHT RING
FOR THE RIGHT WOMAN.

- YOU KNOW, THAT'S QUITE A FEW
TO LOOK AT, MAN.

THIS MUST BE THE, UH,
THE BIG BRIEFCASE.

WHEN I BOUGHT IT
FOR TRACI,

HE BROUGHT ME
THE ITSY-BITSY BRIEFCASE.

- [laughs]

UH...

HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?

- STUNNING. SIX CARATS.
EXCELLENT CUT.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- MY EYES ARE HURTING
FROM LOOKING AT IT.

- HMM.
YOU GOT ANYTHING BIGGER?

- HMM. MUST BE
A SPECIAL LADY INDEED.

- YEAH, YEAH, SPECIAL IS THAT
SIX CARAT RIGHT THERE,

BUT CHLOE
DESERVES EPIC.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR, JONAS.

AN EPIC RING.

- DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE
COULD HAVE DONE WITH 15 GRAND?

- IT WAS MONEY WELL SPENT,

BUT WE CAN'T MAKE A HABIT
OF PAYING OFF THE PAPARAZZI.

- THOUGH IT WAS KIND OF FUN,

WATCHING HIM PANT
ALL OVER THE MONEY

WHEN YOU GOT IT OUT
OF THE BANK.

- GIVE ME THE MEMORY CARD.
- I CAN HANDLE THIS ONE.

[disposal grinds]

- GOD, THIS WAS
A HUGE MISTAKE.

- I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT
ALL ALONG.

EDDIE'S WRONG FOR YOU.

GET RID OF HIM,

AND WE WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH
MESSES LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

- I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT EDDIE,
I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU.

WE CAN'T BE SEEN TOGETHER,
NOT EVEN IN PRIVATE.

- OH, THAT.

- WE DODGED
A SERIOUS BULLET TODAY.

I CAN'T SEE YOU AGAIN.
IT'S TOO RISKY.

- RISK IS WHAT TURNS YOU ON.
JUST TRY AND STAY AWAY.

- OH, I'M STRONGER
THAN YOU THINK.

- NOT WHEN IT
COMES TO ME.

AND WITHOUT THE DANGER
OF GETTING CAUGHT,

EDDIE WOULD BORE YOU
TO TEARS.

- OH, YEAH, THE MONEY,
THE FANS, THE LIFESTYLE,

IT'S ALL SO DULL.

- SO SHALLOW.
- I LOVE HIM.

- I ALMOST BELIEVE YOU.
- FINALLY.

- THEN LEAVE.
- OKAY.

[sighs]

[keys tapping]

- MAY I HELP YOU?
- YEAH.

I'M HERE FOR JAKE MADSEN.
YOU CAN TELL HIM KELLY'S HERE.

- DO YOU HAVE
AN APPOINTMENT?

- I THINK IT'LL BE OKAY.

- WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT--
- NO, TRUST ME.

IT'LL BE OKAY.
I'M STAYING AT HIS HOUSE.

- OKAY, JUST ONE SECOND.

[clears throat]

[door closes]

- JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN,
OKAY?

- SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, JAKE, BUT
THERE'S A KELLY HERE TO SEE YOU.

- WHO?

- SHE CLAIMS SHE'S STAYING
AT YOUR HOUSE.

- OH, YEAH.
HAVE HER COME IN.

- HEY, JAKE, IT'S SO--
WHOA, IS THAT REAL?

- YEAH, DO YOU LIKE IT?
- ARE YOU PROPOSING TO ME?

- EDDIE, THIS IS, UH, KELLY,
TRACI'S OLD FRIEND.

SHE'S STAYING WITH US
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

- NICE TO MEET YOU.

- I'M A BIG FAN.
- THANKS.

- SO IS EVERYTHING OKAY
AT THE HOUSE?

- OH, YEAH.

IT'S JUST,
TRACI'S AT WORK,

AND I WAS SITTING
AROUND THE HOUSE,

AND THEN I REALIZED YOU LEFT
SO FAST THIS MORNING

THAT YOU FORGOT THIS.

- WELL, I LEFT THIS
BECAUSE I DIDN'T NEED IT.

- OH.
[laughs]

MY BAD.
[laughs]

I'M SORRY
FOR THE INTRUSION.

WOW.
OH, MY GOSH, NICE OFFICE.

- ACTUALLY, JAKE AND EDDIE

BOTH NEED TO GET GOING
TO THE INTERVIEW.

- RIGHT.
- WHAT ABOUT THE SONGS, JAKE?

- OH, YEAH, RIGHT.

UM, GOD, I CANNOT
LET THAT SLIDE. DAMN IT.

- YO, I-I CAN GO
TO THE INTERVIEW SOLO.

- NO, I SHOULD BE THERE
WITH YOU.

- COME ON.

WELL, UNLESS CLONING
IS AVAILABLE--

- I'D BE HAPPY
TO GIVE THEM A LISTEN.

- WHAT?
I DON'T THINK SO.

I MEAN, I APPRECIATE
THE OFFER, BUT--

- HEY, I WORKED AT ALPHA
IN NEW YORK, A&R.

I MEAN, THIS IS WHAT I DO,
DISCOVERING YOUNG TALENT.

- WHICH IS GREAT AND ALL,

BUT I'M JUST NOT COMFORTABLE
WITH YOU LISTENING TO OUR MUSIC.

I MEAN--

- WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS TRYING
TO MICROMANAGE EVERYTHING?

IF YOU'RE SO SWAMPED,
AND SHE'S GOT THE BACKGROUND,

LET HER LISTEN
TO SOME SONGS.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

THAT WAY, YOU CAN MAKE
THE INTERVIEW WITH ME.

I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT GONNA
LEAK THE SONGS

OR SEND 'EM TO YOUR MOM
OR ANYTHING, RIGHT?

- WELL, NOT IF
I WANT TO KEEP STAYING

AT THIS
SUPER COOL GUY'S HOUSE.

- [laughs]
YOU SEE?

YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE
THE MUSIC PART ANYWAY.

YOU JUST LIKE MAKING DEALS

AND DRESSING IN NICE CLOTHES
AND BOSSING ME AROUND.

- HEY, THAT IS NOT TRUE, OKAY?
I JUST HAVE DIFFERENT TASTE.

- WHICH MEANS BORING AND BAD.
- [laughs] OH!

- HERE'S THE STUFF.
TAKE A LISTEN TO IT.

LET US KNOW
WHAT YOU THINK.

STEVEN WILL GET ALL
THE MATERIALS FOR YOU.

- THANK YOU, AND YOU
WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

YES!
[laughs]

[overlapping chatter]

- HEY, LOREN, TOP 25.
THAT'S SO CRAY CRAY.

CONGRATS.
- THANKS.

- EVERYONE'S TALKING
ABOUT YOU.

- OH.
[laughs]

DID BROOKE PALMER
JUST COMPLIMENT ME?

- IT DEPENDS ON WHAT
"CRAY CRAY" MEANS.

- OH, LOOK,
THERE'S MELISSA.

GO TALK TO HER NOW.
GO!

- I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
BYE.

BYE, SEE YOU LATER.

HEY.
- HEY. WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?

- PETE JUST ASKED ME
TO THE DANCE, WHICH IS PERFECT,

BECAUSE NOW THE FOUR OF US
CAN DOUBLE.

YOU ASKED LOREN, RIGHT?

- DUDE, HOW DO YOU THINK
I SHOULD ASK CHLOE TO MARRY ME?

I WANT SOMETHING BIG, ROMANTIC,
BUT UNEXPECTED, YOU KNOW?

- I DON'T KNOW, SKYWRITING?
A LAKER GAME?

YOUR NEXT APPEARANCE
ON FALLON?

- I WAS HOPING FOR SOMETHING
A LITTLE MORE PRIVATE.

HOW'D YOU ASK TRACI?

- [laughs]
ACTUALLY, SHE ASKED ME.

- WHAT? NO WAY.
- YEAH, MAN.

I WASN'T EVEN PLANNING
ON GETTING MARRIED

UNTIL MY CAREER
WAS SOLID.

- WHY'D YOU SAY YES?
- BECAUSE IT'S TRACI, MAN.

I DIDN'T WANT HER
TO GET AWAY FROM ME.

- YEAH, I DON'T THINK I CAN
COUNT ON CHLOE ASKING ME.

- DUDE,
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

SHE'S SO ANXIOUS, YOU'RE
PROBABLY ALREADY MARRIED,

AND YOU DON'T
EVEN KNOW IT.

NOW, YOU ALREADY KNOW
MY ADVICE, MAN.

BLOW IT OUT.
MAKE IT AN EVENT.

TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THE PUBLICITY, MAN.

- OH, THAT'S SO ROMANTIC.
- AND PRACTICAL.

YOU KNOW WITH ME, YOU'RE GONNA
GET THE BEST OF EVERYTHING.

[door opens]

- [sighs]

- OH, HEY. HEY, DO YOU HAVE
A NOTEBOOK THAT I CAN BORROW?

[phone ringing
in distance]

THANK YOU.

- KELLY?
- HEY! ENTER MY OFFICE.

- [laughs]

WHAT--WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN JAKE'S OFFICE?

- HE LEFT SOME STUFF AT HOME,
OR SO I THOUGHT,

AND THEN I BROUGHT IT TO HIM,
AND HE PUT ME TO WORK.

I MEAN, A GIRL'S GOTTA EARN
HER KEEP, RIGHT?

- [chuckles]

- OKAY, TY, FUN'S OVER.
I HAVE TO GO.

EDDIE'S PROBABLY
WONDERING WHERE I AM.

- YEAH, HE'S PROBABLY
ON HIS WAY OVER

WITH HIS MOM'S HOMEMADE
MIRACLE CHICKEN SOUP

TO HELP YOU
OVER YOUR COLD.

- WHICH IS EXACTLY
WHY I NEED TO GO.

TODAY HAS BEEN
A BRUTAL DAY.

- NOT TO MAKE IT
MORE BRUTAL-ER,

BUT FRANKLY,
I'M NOT TOO COMFY

WITH THIS LITTLE ARRANGEMENT.
- SINCE WHEN?

- SINCE YOU SAY, "JUMP," AND I'M
SUPPOSED TO SAY, "HOW HIGH?"

- NO, WE AGREED.

- YOU AGREED.
I NODDED.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS
GONNA WORK FOR ME.

- WELL, MAKE IT WORK
'CAUSE IT'S THIS OR NOTHING.

THAT'S THE BEST
I CAN DO.

- YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TRY
A LITTLE HARDER

TO ACCOMMODATE ME,
CHLOE.

MATTER OF FACT, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO TRY A LOT HARDER

BECAUSE WHAT I KNOW
IS A LOT MORE DAMAGING

THAN SOME BLURRY,
MIDDLE-OF-THE-NIGHT PHOTO.

- WHAT YOU KNOW
MEANS NOTHING HERE.

THAT'S A DEAD END.

- INTERESTING
CHOICE OF WORDS.

I SEE IT
AS MY NUCLEAR OPTION.

IT'S NOT
ON THE TABLE,

BUT I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU
THAT IT EXISTS.

- HEY, IT'S PHIL.

LEAVE A MESSAGE IF YOU WANT,
OR DON'T.

[beep]

- PHIL, WHY HAVEN'T YOU
CALLED ME?

HEY, I HAVE ANNOYING NEWS.
WHERE ARE YOU?

[sighs]

[siren in distance]

[overlapping chatter]

- OKAY. THANK YOU.
YES.

SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO.
I APPRECIATE IT.

OH, MY GOD.
AAH!

- OH, OKAY, WELL,
I GUESS YOU GOT MY TEXT.

- OH, MY GOD.
THIS IS MY DAUGHTER.

THIS IS MY DAUGHTER, LOREN,
THE ONE WHO MIGHT JUST

HAVE A SONG ON
THE NEW EDDIE DURAN ALBUM.

- STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP.
- NEVER, NEVER.

[applause]
RIGHT?

[laughs] YAY.
OH!

OH, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
[laughs]

- [sighs]

[knocks on door]

COME IN, IT'S OPEN.

- YEAH, THESE JUST CAME
FOR YOU.

- WHAT IS IT?
- DON'T KNOW.

- LET'S SEE.

AH, COASTERS.

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE
THREE DAYS AGO.

THESE SAY, "KM."
- IS THAT BAD?

- THE NAME OF THE CLUB
IS "MK."

- IT'S CLOSE.

- DARN IT,
THESE ARE WORTHLESS, MAN.

TAKE 'EM TO YOUR BOSS.

TELL HIM IF HE CAN'T DO THE JOB
HE WAS HIRED FOR,

THE LEAST HE COULD DO
IS LEARN TO SPELL

THE NAME OF THE PLACE
HE'S RIPPING OFF.

[door closes]

[door closes]

- JAKE, I AM DONE WITH
INTERVIEWS FOR A WHILE.

THIS IS NOT WHY
I GOT IN THE BUSINESS.

- FAIR ENOUGH.

YOU JUST KEEP WORKING
ON NEW MATERIAL,

AND, UH, WE'LL CUT BACK
ON THE INTERVIEWS.

- WE GOTTA KEEP A LITTLE BIT
OF A MYSTERY ABOUT ME, RIGHT?

- OH, FOR SURE.

- THIS IS WHY THIS WORKS--
'CAUSE YOU LISTEN.

ALL RIGHT?

I JUST WANT TO KEEP
MY HEAD IN A PLACE

WHERE I CAN CONTINUE TO WRITE
GREAT SONGS, YOU KNOW?

- YOU KNOW, THE RECORD COMPANY
WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THAT.

IN FACT, I THINK THE RECORD
COMPANY WOULD LOVE TO HEAR

THAT YOU'VE ALREADY WRITTEN
ONE OR TWO MEGAHITS.

- [laughs] NOT YET.
SOON.

- ALL RIGHT, IF YOU HAVE
ANY ISSUES, MAN,

JUST SNAP YOUR FINGERS.

I WILL GET THE BEST
SONGWRITERS IN THE WORLD

TO COME AND HELP YOU.

- AW, NO, I FEEL YOU,

BUT I WANT TO KEEP THIS ONE
REALLY PERSONAL, YOU KNOW?

STRAIGHT FROM MY HEART.

EVER SINCE I DECIDED TO ASK
CHLOE TO MARRY ME,

I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN
ON FIRE,

AND THAT SHOULD MAKE
FOR SOME SICK SONGS.

- EDDIE,
ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE

THAT YOU WANT
TO GET MARRIED, MAN?

I MEAN, I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE MARRIED YOUNG.

- WHY ARE THE TWO PEOPLE

THAT GOT MARRIED YOUNG
IN MY LIFE--

YOU AND MY DAD--ARE TELLING ME
NOT TO GET MARRIED?

- AND YOU THINK
IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE?

I'LL CHECK IN ON YOU
LATER, MAN.

- HEY, I WANT TEN IDEAS
FOR A PROPOSAL,

AND I'LL GET YOU
YOUR SONG.

- DO THAT.
JUST MAKE IT A HIT, ALL RIGHT?

- [sighs]

HMM...

"MAKE IT A HIT."

[playing piano]

OH, CHLOE, DARLING,
PLEASE MARRY ME

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
SO DEARLY.

[laughs]

AH, THAT SUCKS.

[sighs]

- YOU WOULD RATHER
BLOW IT ALL UP,

YOU AND I BOTH GO TO JAIL,
RATHER THAN HAVE ME MARRY EDDIE?

THAT IS SUICIDE-BOMBER CRAZY.
YOU WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

- WOULDN'T I? YOU'VE KNOWN ME
FOR A LONG TIME.

I'M NOT ONE TO MAKE
RATIONAL DECISIONS.

- BAD JOKE, TYLER.
- I'M SERIOUS.

- LOOK, WE DON'T HAVE
TO BE ENEMIES.

WE CAN ALL GET
WHAT WE WANT.

- EXCEPT YOU'RE
THE ONE WHO DECIDES

WHEN AND WHERE
TO THROW ME A BONE.

THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK
FOR ME.

YOU CAN'T HOLD
ALL THE CARDS.

[phone rings]

- HELLO?

- SO EVERYTHING GO AS EXPECTED
WITH YOUR MEETING?

- IT TOOK A HUGE CHUNK
OF MY SAVINGS.

- I'M SURE
YOU'RE STILL LIQUID,

AND IT'S
A WISE INVESTMENT.

SO IT'S DESTROYED?
- DISPOSED OF, LITERALLY.

- GREAT. SO WHEN'S
MY INTERVIEW WITH EDDIE?

- UM, I AM ACTUALLY
WITH HIM RIGHT NOW,

AND HE'S THINKING
ABOUT IT.

CAN I CALL YOU LATER?

- JUST REMEMBER,
I DID YOU A HUGE FAVOR.

I NEED TO GET SOMETHING
IN RETURN.

THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.
YOU NEED ME AS A FRIEND.

YOU KNOW, I MAY NOT
RUN THIS TOWN,

BUT I HAVE DIRT
ON EVERYONE THAT DOES.

- YOU'LL GET YOUR INTERVIEW,
LILY, I PROMISE.

I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

- * MY BACK'S
AGAINST THE WALL *

[phone chimes]
* NO OTHER PLACE TO GO

- UH-OH,
THAT'S NOT GOOD.

- * NO OTHER PLACE
TO HIDE *

- I HAVE TO GO.

- OH, WERE YOU NOT
LISTENING TO ME?

'CAUSE I'M CALLING
THE SHOTS NOW,

AND I DON'T WANT YOU
TO LEAVE YET.

- YOU'RE BLUFFING.

- AM I?
- MM-HMM.

- A COUPLE DAYS AGO,
YOU WERE SCOLDING ME

FOR BEING SELF-DESTRUCTIVE
WITH MY CAREER,

SO LET ME SHOW YOU HOW
SELF-DESTRUCTIVE I CAN BE.

- YOU'RE NOT CALLING EDDIE.

- NO, I'M DOING
BETTER THAN THAT.

I'M CALLING LILY, AND I'M GONNA
TELL HER WHAT YOU DID,

AND I'M GONNA GIVE HER
SOME JOURNALISTIC DETAILS--

WHAT THE WEATHER WAS LIKE,
WHAT YOU WERE WEARING.

- LOOK, WHY DO YOU
HAVE TO BE SO DIFFICULT?

I MEAN, CAN'T WE JUST ENJOY
OUR PRIVATE TIME TOGETHER?

WE CAN BOTH GET
WHAT WE WANT.

GOTTA GO.

- YOU WALK OUT THAT DOOR,
AND I HIT THE PANIC BUTTON.

KISS EDDIE
AND ALL YOUR DREAMS GOOD-BYE.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
