You're a wonderful man, yes, and you're a great lawyer.

We're just not meant to be together.

No, I don't wanna marry you! Are you crazy?

The hell's the matter with you?

Roger, we're done.

Oh, my God.

Did he cry?

Yeah, he cried. He laughed. He yelled at me.

You know, whatever. You broke his heart, Mama.

I did the right thing.

Ally, garbage! It just wasn't right... Oh, hey, Bryan.

Can you get somebody else to do it for me?

You have to let her shine! It's your f*cking turn!

Oh, my God! Who the f*ck is he talking to? Okay, I'll see you upstairs.

Come on, Bryan! She's performing tonight!

Here we go. Taking out the trash. Wipe your mouth.

I'll let you go early, but you gotta finish your job.

Well, you gotta keep your mouth clean. Okay?

We are east of the city.

Is there any more?

No. No, sorry, Jack.

And it's about an hour-forty with traffic till we get there.

Wait, really? Yeah.

I think we can find something around here.

No, I'll find something. I'll find something.

How's your kid?

How old is he now?

He is 17. f*ck me.

And he got a scholarship to play baseball in college already, man.

Wow, that's great.

I'm proud of him.

My little guy is not so little anymore.

I don't wanna go home.

Wish I could find you a spot.

Sorry, Jack, I don't know this area.

Would you make a right here?

You sure? Yeah.

All right.

Here we go. That looks like a f*cking bar.

Here? What's that say? "Bleu Bleu."

Here, let me just try this.

Oh, sh*t!

Wait, wait.

My man, my man, I... Aren't you that...

Aren't you, like... This is a bar, right?

Yeah, but I don't know if this is your kind of place.

They got alcohol? Well, yeah, but...

Oh, it's my kind of place.

Oh, sh*t! This is crazy!

How are you doin', papo? How am I doin'?

I'm doin' all right if I can get a f*cking drink.

You good? Yeah.

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, yeah. There's the bar.

This is my home girl, Giselle de la Isma.

Hey, how you doin'? Hey.

Oh, yeah. That's Jack. That's Jack.

♪ Oh, yeah, yeah, at last Excuse me, papo!

Can we get this man anything he wants, please?

Can I get a gin on the rocks with a twist, please?

♪ The skies above are blue ♪ Papo, wow.

Oh, my gosh. I'm freaking out right now.

Hey, is this a drag bar?

Yeah, papo. Yeah, yeah.

But look, we do this every Friday night.

Yo, it's crazy. It's so lit, though.

I thought maybe I was in some sort of hallucinogenic state.

My honor, or something... No, no, no. All are welcome.

A dress or something. All are welcome.

You gonna have something? Here, let me get you a drink.

Okay. Yeah, wow.

You better get out there and k*ll 'em tonight.

All you ladies k*ll it tonight, okay?

I'm ready. I always do!

Ladies, make sure you've turned in your music already.

Don't make me have to come get you tonight.

This is a professional show.

Right.

Oh, yes! You stayed!

That's good. That's good, I like it.

Everything good? You good?

Yeah, I was just talking to Nicki.

You know Nicki?

Hello, Nicki. How you doin', baby?

She's telling me her life story. Fascinating.

My home girl's about to perform.

And y'all know her very well because she used to work here as a server. But tonight, the only thing she's serving are some fabulous, French live vocals.

Is she really singing, though, or is it one of those karaoke things?

No, no, no. She's really singing, papo.

I promise you, she's really singing.

Okay. Watch this. Watch.

Would anybody like some French tips tonight?

Yes, baby! Yes, baby!

Oh, f*ck.

Oh, papo, you crying? A little bit.

You have to meet her.

What's that? You have to meet her!

Oh, no, I can't meet her. Yes! Come on.

Donte, you got a rag, honey? Thank you.

Miss Ally, Mama, now you done sang in French tonight, you gonna pick something else next week?

I don't know.

Look there, she's doing languages now.

Do Moroccan. No!

This is my friend, Jackson Maine.

Hey.

This is Jackson Maine. Hey.

How are you? Hey. Hey! Oh, my God!

Right? This is my friend, Ally.

Oh, my God! Hi. Hi. Hey.

I thought that might be you.

What'd you say? "I thought

"that might be you." That's me.

Thank you! You wanna sit down?

No! You've been on your feet all night.

No! You're our guest, you're our guest.

You sure you don't mind? A little drink?

I'm here watching the show, watching you guys.

Word! Yeah, yeah.

Will you sign my boob? Sure.

Yeah, I can do that. Oh, my God!

Give me a sharpie!

It's BYOB around here.

Yeah, is that right? "Bring your own boobs."

Oh, God! Those aren't really her boobs?

Wow!

So why are you in here, hon?

Sorry? What brings you here?

Oh, I was playing right around here tonight. I'm a musician.

How'd your show go?

Uh... I think it went all right.

Okay, here we go. All right. Thank you!

That's all right? Oh, my.

Which one should I do?

Do 'em both! I don't care! Select!

Why don't I just do it across?

Bitch, Jackson Maine!

I'll just... Oh, my!

She will stop at nothing.

You gotta blow on it! I did it pretty big. Oh.

Oh, you got it. Okay.

Thank you so much! You all gotta go home, but you know the phrase.

You gotta get the hell up outta here!

'Cause tonight, I'm not losing my virginity or my liquor license over you b*tches, so pack up!

That's right! That's enough cocktails!

Clear it out! Hello, goodbye, Roger.

Have fun!

Bring the drinks on out!

Do you do that often?

Do what? The show.

Yeah, yeah. The girls are so nice to me here.

I mean, they would never normally let a girl sing at one of these shows, but they've always loved my voice.

They used to beg me to sing.

It's an honor, really. I get to be one of the gay girls.

Is that your real eyebrow?

Um... No. No.

I make it out of tape.

Oh, so it's stuck on? Mmm-hmm.

Can I try to take it off?

Uh... Yeah, sure.

It's incredible what they do.

Look at that.

Oh! Yep. There it is.

I should put her down somewhere.

Okay.

There we go.

Why're you covering your eye?

Oh, just 'cause I don't have my eyebrow on anymore.

Oh, no, no. The whole point is I can see your face.

Yeah, there we go.

Why did you come back here?

Your friend brought me back here. I'm glad he did.

Can I buy you a drink?

Oh.

I gotta change, and I got paint in my hair.

That's not your real hair? My eyebrows are...

No, my hair is like your color.

Oh, okay. But I paint it with this makeup.

I'd love to see what that looks like.

I'll wait for you.

Um...

Yeah, okay. Sure.

Yeah, if you wanna wait, I'll come have a drink with you.

Sure.

Bitch, can you get down off that stage and come help me close this bar, please?

Don't talk to me like that in that bus driver wig, girl.

Oh, I know you did not.

What, you have a street appointment tonight, sister?

Excuse me!

Mr. Maine, would you mind?

Uh... What do you want me to do?

Just come play a little song for me.

I don't know.

Can you leave the man alone, please?

I showed you mine, you show me yours. Come on.

He already signed your tits, honey. Say, "No, sir."

Show off for me a little bit.

I'll only do it because you already performed.

You're so nice. Thank you.

Lord, the man is here for Ally. Not for you, sister.

She's nice. Yeah.

Isn't it cute? Little arts and crafts.

Yeah, and light. Mmm-hmm.

Did you do this yourself? Yeah, all me.

Well, it's great.

Does this mic work?

Oh, yeah. f*ck, all right.

What do you want me to play?

I don't care, just look at me while you do it.

Oh, Lord! Somebody k*ll me now.

Let me see what I can... All right.

It's a cop bar. Cops?

Yeah, that's why they serve all night long.

Can I ask you a personal question?

Sure.

Do you write songs or anything?

I don't sing my own songs.

Thank you.

Why?

I just don't feel comfortable.

Why wouldn't you feel comfortable?

Um...

Well, 'cause almost every single person that I've come in contact with in the music industry has told me that my nose is too big and that I won't make it.

Your nose is too big? Yeah.

Your nose is beautiful.

Are you showing me your nose right now?

Yeah. You don't have to show it to me. I've been looking at it all night.

Oh, come on. No, you're not.

I'm gonna be thinking about your nose for a very long time. I'm not full of sh*t. You're full of sh*t.

Yeah, you are. Yeah, you're full of sh*t. I'm telling you the truth.

Can I touch your nose? Oh, my gosh!

Let me just touch it for a second.

You're very lucky.

Oh, really? Yeah, not really. Mmm-hmm.

My nose has not made me lucky.

I could've had maybe a hit song if it wasn't for my nose.

That's f*cking bullshit.

Yeah. No, it's not bullshit because you go into these rooms, and there's all these f*cking men in there, and they're just staring at you, listening to your record, going, "Oh, you sound great, but you don't look so great."

You know, I had a thing when I was little.

I was born with this thing in my ear, couldn't hear.

What do I wind up being? A singer, so you never know.

Look, talent comes everywhere. Everybody's talented.

Bet you f*cking everybody in this bar is talented in one thing or another, but having something to say and the way to say it so people listen to it, that's a whole other bag.

And unless you get out there and you try to do it, you'll never know.

That's just the truth.

If there's one reason we're supposed to be here, it's to say something so people wanna hear it.

Don't you understand what I'm trying to tell you?

Yeah, I do.

I don't like it, but I understand it.

Oh, I think you like it a little bit.

I think I'm getting through a little bit. I can see it.

No, you can't.

It's a good thing we met.

Yeah. For both of us.

Trust me. I don't know what is going on.

Honestly, what... Who does?

I'm in a cop bar, with Jackson Maine. It's, like...

Jackson Maine!

I'm gonna wake up in a minute.

That's the thing about when you get famous, people start saying your full name.

Well, what do you want... Just "Jack."

Oh, speaking of...

Come on.

What? Did you put that on?

You put that on. When did you even go to the jukebox?

Oh, God!

I hear that song, and I just wanna turn it the f*ck off.

Jack Maine!

I f*cked that f*cking song up so bad.

No! What? Come on. Oh, my God!

Hey, I know that we're not supposed to do this.

I know that we're not supposed to come and bother you.

You come here every night. That's all right.

You got your camera on you? 'Cause I don't have my camera.

Excuse me, one sec.

My ex-girlfriend was f*cking this guy.

Right. Okay. Who looks like you, that's what she said. Shut the hell up.

But I gotta take a picture of you because I gotta send it to her because I'm gonna show her that you look nothing f*cking like that f*cking guy.

Jack, I'm sorry.

Maybe that'll help her out.

Will that help you out? Will that make you happy?

Why don't we take the f*cking picture?

You want someone to take the picture?

Hey, no, no. It's okay. Excuse me.

You want someone to take the picture?

Get the f*ck off, you little whore. What? What?

Hey, come on. Stand up, yeah. What?

I'm sorry! No, Jack! I got you.

It's all right. Oh, my God!

No, no, it's all right. Why did I...

I'm fine, honestly. I'm okay. This is so stupid.

No, you gotta get ahead of the swelling.

Just try to find some...

This is so embarrassing.

Here we go. Yeah, put that on there.

Gotta wrap something up with it. Find it.

You like Cheetos? No, like gauze.

Some gauze or something. Gauze?

Try to do that. With that hand.

And do that hand.

You play piano?

Yeah, we gotta take care of this, then.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

And that's it, yeah. No, but keep that on there, hold on.

Can you do that? Yeah. Did you get it?

It's already gotten warm, hasn't it?

Should we have gotten two? It's okay. No, it's okay.

Thanks.

I'm sorry. I had to.

That's all right.

It's not really all right, though.

Have a good one.

Be careful, she'll hit you.

These rings are gonna get stuck if you don't take them off.

Does that hurt? Yeah.

That's okay, though. May I?

Yeah.

Safekeeping.

Put this on there. You're a sweetheart.

And we'll just wrap it up.

You'll be good to go.

How the hell do you deal with that all the time?

What's that? People just talking to you like you're not a real person or taking your picture. Is that too tight?

It's okay, thanks.

Oh. I hurt you. That's fine, it's okay. Ow...

There we go. Now, you're mobile.

Swing it around.

I look like a pirate.

Right? I told you it was worth coming here.

How do you do that?

Do what? Don't change the subject.

Is that what I'm doing?

Nobody ever asked you about you, huh?

Not sure. Where are you from?

Arizona.

Arizona boy. Mmm-hmm.

Dad had a midlife crisis, I think.

So I've been told.

Made his way to Arizona, started working for this family on a pecan ranch.

A pecan ranch? Yeah.

Knocked up the family's daughter.

She was just shy of 18.

Uh-oh.

That's when I came into the picture.

Okay. The son of an 18-year-old.

Yeah.

Well, she d*ed at childbirth.

Then, my dad... I'm sorry.

He, uh...

He d*ed when I was 13, so I guess my brother would tell you that he raised me, but I don't know. I don't know who was raising who.

Just 127 acres of nuts, Navajo, and nowhere to go.

Can I tell you a secret?

I think you might be a songwriter.

But don't worry, I won't tell anybody.

But I'm not very good at keeping secrets.

You're a real gentleman.

I think.

Thank you, sir. It's right here, on the right.

Right there? Which one?

This one. Oh, yeah.

What's all this?

Oh, it's my dad. It's a long story.

What's he, a sheikh?

No, he's a driver.

Hey, I got a gig. You wanna come?

When?

We're headed to the airport now.

Tonight. Tonight? No, I can't.

I gotta go to work later. I gotta go to bed.

Who's gonna take care of your hand? I messed it up, or...

Me. No, no!

I'll take care of my hand. It's my fault.

I took you to that place. That's okay.

No, listen. Hey!

You have my number. Okay. All right.

Hey.

What?

I just wanted to take another look at you.

Oh, maybe I f*cked that up.

No.

Hi, Dad. Pretty late, pretty late.

Oh, is it late? Yeah.

Look at you, you don't even know where you're walking.

Come on. Well, I wanna go to bed.

No, come in for two minutes.

It's Wolfie's birthday, come on!

Two minutes! Okay.

Wolfie! Yeah, sweetheart?

Who was the guy in the car?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Hey, Ally. How's it goin'?

Happy birthday. Hey, "happy birthday"?

Yeah. It's not my birthday.

What do you mean?

Come on. No, I was just saying...

What the hell happened in here? My God!

This place is a mess!

Starting gate is Shipazo Gito and bad b*at is Wario Peito.

What's going on? You leave the butter out.

Who the hell's betting on horses at breakfast time in Japan? It's not breakfast time in Japan. They're loading!

Joe, we're going. Come on! You guys are crazy!

Have a sizable investment on this thing here.

What did I say about smoking in this house?

Outside! Who are you?

Who am I? It's my house.

I know it's your house. But you smoke too.

All right, forget it. Okay, good.

Sweetheart, you're happy here, aren't you?

I'm happy, Dad.

I'm just saying, she's got no space.

What are you saying? Wait a minute, sweetheart.

I'm saying she's got no space. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I want my friends to look at you.

Take a good look.

With a voice like from heaven, but you know what?

It's not always the best singers that make it.

You know? I knew a couple of guys could sing Sinatra under the table.

But Frank, he'd come on stage with the blue eyes, the sharkskin suit, the patent leather shoes...

He becomes Frank Sinatra.

And everybody else, all these other guys that really got it, that really have it inside, just a bunch of nobodies.

Okay. Everybody, let's go.

Time for work.

Unfortunately, you keep blasting the hearing, it's not gonna come back.

I think it's time we reconsider the inner monitors. Mmm-hmm.

We've talked about that with Bobby a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

If we put the inner moles in, we can actually use those to amplify the high frequencies.

Yeah, okay, that sounds great. Cut down the sound.

Yeah, you're right. Yeah. I'm gonna talk to Bobby, and we're gonna get something set up.

Sold. I'm sold.

All right, Jack. Yeah, call Bobby.

Stubborn son of a bitch.

All right, let's get ready. 1, 2, 3, 4.

♪ k*lling me, baby, with the things you do

♪ You put me in the ground ♪ We're trying...

You gotta put 'em in, man.

I told you, I can't wear those things.

When I wear 'em, it's just in my head, and I need to be here with everybody else.

The doctor said it's the only way to manage this thing, Jack.

You're not gonna get back what you lost.

It's the only way we can manage what you still got.

Oh, wow.

I think we're managing pretty good.

What do you want me to do?

The door's wide open if you wanna go.

You know what? Don't start that sh*t.

Show a little f*cking pride in what you're doing, buddy.

I just wanna know if she's on her way or not, that's all.

Who's coming?

What the f*ck?

Who's here? I have no idea.

He won't tell me.

Hi, Ally. Hi.

I'm Phil. We met last night. Yeah, I remember.

Jack sent me to pick you up and take you to the gig.

Oh, my God. Um...

But I gotta work. I can't go.

He's really looking forward to this.

I really appreciate that, but, uh...

I can't leave, so I'll be in my car right down the street.

Please tell him, "Thank you, but no thank you."

Okay? Say it just like that.

Wait a minute, Ally. What're you doing?

The f*ck is that sh*t?

This is crazy. What are you doing?

This is great. What the hell's going on?

Look, a guy like that invites you to a show...

It could be a great opportunity. Dad, don't start with me.

Don't start! Listen, listen!

Does he know you sing at all? Did he hear anything from you?

Dad, I gotta go to work.

This could be the opportunity of a lifetime.

I don't have the same disease that you have, Dad. You get around celebrities, and it's like they're gonna rub off on you.

What are you talking about? What are you talking about?

"Oh, you know who I drove the other day?"

Why are you talking about that?

Like magic, now you're famous.

And you're not. It's not magic, Dad.

Sweetheart.

He's a drunk! You know all about drunks.

Sweetheart, he's still there.

Yo, so you f*cking hit a cop?

Yeah, he was being an assh*le to Jack, so I f*cking popped him in the face.

Yo, that is so gangster.

So, then we ended up in a parking lot, and he was putting peas around my hand to fix my hand.

And then he was singing, and I was singing.

I don't know what the hell's going on.

But now he's got his driver following me around.

Wait, he's been following you from your house all the way to work?

Yes! It's crazy! You're f*cking late again.

I'm what?

I said you're late!

Are we doing this?

Hey, Bryan, I'm out.

Find somebody else.

Bryan, I'll be back. I promise.

Papo, I promise. See ya. I won't.

Did you see Bryan's face? Oh, sh*t!

Hey, great! Let's do this.

Let's go.

What are we doing?

You know, if I didn't know Jack, I would call you a stalker.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Yes, man!

Lay on that couch right now! I'm gonna take my shoes off.

Oh, my God! This is nice.

How this sh*t works?

They just told you no. Oh, okay. I'm so sorry.

Oh, sh*t!

I could get used to this sh*t.

You need to date more rock stars, baby girl, you know what I'm saying?

We're not dating.

Hi, Ally. I'm Gail.

- Hi. Hi.

Oh, you guys can leave your bags. We'll grab 'em in a sec.

Ready? Oh. Okay, sure.

Okay. Yeah. Thanks.

Did you have a good trip?

Yeah.

Passes.

Oh, thank you. Put 'em around your necks.

Ear plugs. You'll need these, it's loud up there.

Yeah, I got 'em. We're coming in.

I'm gonna bring you guys to the side stage.

Whoa!

Guys, guys, guys. This way. Sorry, wrong way.

It's all good. I'm so sorry.

This place is so big. I'm just...

Come on this way.

Oh, watch yourself.

You guys good?

Thank you very much.

That was great.

There's a friend of mine, who came a long way to be here, and she wrote a great song, and I'd just like her to sing it.

I think it's pretty f*cking good.

How are you? You made it! I'm good. Hi!

It's so good to see you.

How are you? It was so good.

Everything all right? The trip was fine?

Yeah, yeah. Phil was all right?

Didn't bother you at all? Gail was so nice.

So, listen, we're gonna sing that song, all right?

I did an arrangement, it was kind of not so great, but maybe you could just stick with it.

No, I can't do that. I'm sorry. No, Jack, please.

Yeah, you're coming. Here we go.

It's not funny. Jack, don't f*ck around.

All you gotta do is trust me.

That's all you gotta do.

I'm gonna sing it either way, so...

Steve...

You lost your mind. Okay.

You have to go sing. I'm not going out there, no.

I thought maybe I set it in the wrong key, and then the tempo was too fast.

No, it was so beautiful, and...

I wasn't sure...

Ally, you okay? Jack?

Jack?

You, you, move!

Isn't that the girl who sang?

Good concert, man! Good concert.

Thank you, yeah. Thank you.

Jackson, I love you, man. Thank you.

Hey, Jack. k*lled it.

Really? Yeah.

Hi!

Oh, my God!

Where's my key? I don't f*cking...

Ah, ha, ha, ha!

Oh, f*ck!

I'll be right back, okay? Just give me one second.

Is this the bathroom? Where's the f*cking...

Okay.

Hey.

Jack?

I don't know, wake him up.

I can't wake him up. He's drunk.

Yes, you can!

Shake your titties in his face or some sh*t, and just f*cking...

You know what I'm saying? Take two sh*ts and...

Thank you so much for your help. You are so helpful.

Let me know how it goes, baby.

Go home, pal.

He's out.

You think maybe he drinks a bit much?

Sweetie, you have no idea.

Tell you one thing, though.

He's never brought a girl onstage before.

And it's been a long, long time since he played like that.

Well, that's good to know.

One time, my brother came home, I was playing on this upright we used to always have in our den.

And I was in my own world.

No one was ever home, and then he comes home to take care of my dad, who was sick.

And he's sittin' there, and he's looking at me.

I swear to God, he looked at me like I was special or something, and it just kind of filled me up.

I should've never told you that. I don't know.

Why?

'Cause it's embarrassing. I don't know.

It's so sweet.

'Cause you're nothing like my brother, let me just say.

Yeah, I don't look like your brother?

He's a f*cking old man, okay.

My dad had me when he was 63 years old.

63 years old?

And we have different mothers, so...

What's that number down here?

That is how many people looked at it.

Get the f*ck out of here.

How do they know how many people looked at it?

I think it's... They call it an algorithm, or...

What's an algorithm?

It's like a b*at.

A b*at? Yeah. Yeah.

Like in music, a b*at? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. I think, I don't know.

Do you believe this? No.

Wow. And you see this?

Yeah. That's how many people have watched.

Yeah, yeah, we're just telling...

They was telling him.

How the f*ck do they do that?

I've watched it 200 times myself.

I'm 200 of those people. Go, Pops.

Oh, jeez! My God, you're so fast! Jack!

French toast is gonna come out.

First one to hit the bed.

I'm never getting on that thing with you when you've been drinking.

I haven't even thought about drinking or anything else.

We'll see how long that lasts. Go wait downstairs.

Actually, when I was in my 20's and 30's, I was like a crooner.

As a matter of fact, a lot of people thought I was better than Sinatra.

Frank? Frank Sinatra?

That's my songbook. I usually use a typewriter, but I had this idea on the bike and I didn't wanna forget it.

I don't really come back here.

You avoid your home?

I don't know.

It's like the hot air

and the history, I don't know.

Bought the ranch, though, I grew up on, gave it to my brother.

We buried Dad there, and so I just wanted to make sure that nobody paved over his grave or any of that kind of sh*t. Is it around here?

It's not far.

Why don't we just go there? It's nearby.

Jack?

Yeah, if he shows up.

These guys have been vamping out there for a f*cking half an hour.

It's time to f*cking get on.

Don't you get tired of being...

You sold Dad's ranch.

They turned it into a f*cking wind farm!

I bought that for you.

Where's his grave?

He washed away in a f*cking storm.

His grave isn't there anymore.

I told you, but you were f*cking drunk.

You were f*cking loaded and already pissing yourself a swan song.

f*ck if you shed a tear for that piece of sh*t you idolize for no g*dd*mn f*cking reason.

All Dad ever did for you was make you his f*cking drinking buddy.

And you'd be right there with him if he was still alive, and you f*cking know it.

What did you think, that I was gonna f*cking take care of it while I'm f*cking cradling your ass all over the g*dd*mn world.

Yeah.

That's a good excuse.

Raising a little brother, so you don't have to deal with the fact that you were no f*cking good.

If I was no good, why'd you steal my f*cking voice?

Huh?

'Cause you had nothing to f*cking say.

You were too proud to sing any of the songs I ever wrote.

Well, I got something to say now, pal.

I'm done being your f*cking errand boy.

I quit.

Yeah, my voice just got up on me a few months ago and another sh*t of steroids is better safe than sorry.

Thank you for that, and yeah, we should be good.

Ally! Ally! Ally! Ally!

That was f*cking beautiful.

No, you were f*cking doing it.

I was there, I f*cking...

I think our car's over there. Ally, that was unbelievable.

Thank you. That was unbelievable what you did up there. Thank you.

I don't know if you know anything about me, about where I've come from.

I'm Rez Gavron.

I know who you are.

What you have right now goes way beyond just this.

There's people who need to hear what you have to say musically.

This is not normal stuff.

It's really amazing what you're doing.

I think you have it all. I do.

And the question to you is, "What do you want?"

I'm in that position, to put you wherever you want to be.

I don't... I don't have...

I gotta talk to Jack.

He said he thought Interscope Records might really wanna sign me, and he said that he has this wonderful studio with a beautiful live room.

And these amazing producers he wants to bring in to record my songs.

And he loves "Look What I've Found."

Remember the song we did in the diner?

Remember, when we were driving?

Yeah.

Yeah?

I mean, it was so nice talking to him, and he really believes in me.

You all right, Jack? He's okay. He's fine.

He does this all the time.

Hey, Jack.

Thanks.

What's going on?

Hmm?

What're you doing?

You jealous f*ck.

I'm so happy for you.

Oh, you are?

Oh! Jackson!

Oh, my God!

Jack. Stop!

Why're you so jealous, boy? Hmm?

What're you doing?

What's wrong? You upset?

You want me to make you less...

I know, do you wanna play? Okay, let's play.

What the hell is this?

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. No, you're fine. You're all fine.

We'll do it again. I'm gonna cue you in.

We'll come right in, okay?

So, should... Well, uh...

I'm sorry, but will I sing in the beginning?

So you're gonna hear the second line, and then I wanna start recording.

I think I got an idea that might help out, all right?

Yeah, please. Be my guest.

That was really good up to that point.

I'm just gonna go in there for a second, all right? All right, Jack.

I've never sang with a track before.

I think it's because you need your piano.

I think if you're playing it and singing it...

Yeah, I always play it on the piano. I'll be fine.

I'm just gonna have them fly one in, and we'll try it there and see where it goes. You think that's okay?

Okay. Thank you.

I got you. You're doing great.

You okay? No, I'm so nervous.

You look so beautiful. Thank you.

No, I can't in the water.

You know, it's one of those paid things.

Soul-crushing work, really, but it's just kind of never what I thought I'd wind up doing, maybe.

I don't know, but...

I've made peace with it, though.

Anyway, if you wanna come, I thought we'd have a laugh, at the very least.

Rez wants to keep me here because, you know, they rushed out the single, and they were so excited that they want me to finish the album.

So I'm working on that. Listen to what you're saying.

Listen to what you just said.

People wanna hear what you have to say.

That's the stuff right there. I know. I can't...

Hey, hey. Take it in.

Thank you, by the way.

Thank you for what?

Pretty incredible. Did Jack show up?

I haven't heard from him.

What do you mean, you haven't heard from him?

I haven't heard from him all night.

I haven't been able to find him. I called him three times.

Listen, what happened with the dancers there?

Well, I just thought that I should do it alone

'cause it's so overwhelming.

Okay, but you can't go rogue on me.

You have to understand that this is what I do, and you have to trust me, okay?

So, if I give you a couple of dancers, don't not use them and then miss a couple of steps, okay?

We also have to change your hair.

We have to change the color of your hair.

What's wrong with my hair?

I'm thinking platinum, or...

I don't wanna be f*cking blond.

I am who I am, and I'm worried about Jack.

I will find Jack, okay?

I will find him.

Jack.

I feel like we've done this before.

Didn't think we'd do it so soon, man.

Come on, bro. Get up.

All right. There we go.

In my mind, I made it to the door.

I almost didn't wake you.

You looked so comfortable.

How you doin'?

You know, I've seen better days, I guess.

I apologize for disrespecting your property...

No apologies necessary.

...or whatever I did.

It's fine. You want some coffee?

Be great, why don't you put some on, and we'll come in in a minute?

Okay.

That's him, right? That's your boy.

Jack, he's as old now as you were when I met you.

Saw you on YouTube.

That video with the girl. Yeah.

It made me happy, man.

You looked like you. You were just...

Just doing it, bro.

She writes too.

She wrote that tune? Yeah.

Bunch of others too.

Got hooked up with some manager guy, wants to...

Yeah.

She's good, bro. I know.

Maybe she's a way out.

Ain't nothing to be afraid of, bro.

You know, it's like...

I don't know... You float out...

Float out at sea, and then one day, you find a port.

Say, "I'm gonna stay here for a few days."

A few days becomes a few years.

And then you forgot where you were goin' in the first place.

And then you realize, you don't really give a sh*t about where you was going

'cause you like where you're at.

That's how it is for me.

I like where I'm at.

I didn't even realize I liked it so much till I saw your ass sleeping in the grass this morning.

Yeah, come on, man.

You can rest in my daughter's room, bro.

I thought of a million things to say to you on the plane that I can't remember.

Jack...

Glad you're here.

You did make it to Memphis after all.

f*ck.

I won't do this again.

I won't come and find you.

Next time, you can clean up your own mess.

You understand me?

How was the show?

It was f*cking awesome.

I cut the dancers.

Dancers?

Yeah.

Oh.

Good.

f*cking dancers.

All you do is you just sing.

You made me so upset.

I'm sorry.

I saw that video on YouTube. Oh!

It was great.

Thank you so much.

Excuse me one second.

What's going on? Do you have a plier?

Jack's okay?

I wanna cut the guitar strings, not too crazy.

There used to be pliers or something like that.

Uh... Yeah, yeah.

I don't know where my mom is.

Yeah. I understand that. I think you're pretty.

Me?

You think I'm pretty?

Thank you. I think you're pretty.

It was real great, and then Jack tells me you wrote the song.

Yeah, he got me to start singing my own songs again.

He has a way of doing that.

Yeah, he does.

Does anyone want some more mac and cheese?

Yeah? Here, sweetheart, you want some?

Oh, there he goes. What's up, man?

I understand what you said.

What the hell are you...

Are you kidding?

That stupid? No. It's not stupid.

It wasn't a stupid thing I just did?

Is that what you were doing when you left the table?

I don't know. He told me he was looking for some pliers.

I didn't know what he was going to do.

I didn't think he was gonna "do it" do it.

Oh, she has another ring!

Well, that's just temporary.

No, no, no. Jack, wait a minute.

Let's anoint this. Let's do it today.

Yo, for real. It's a good idea!

No, you get the dress.

I'll call my cousin right now.

It's Saturday. Nobody's gonna be in there.

Let's go. You really wanna do that?

That place has a magical quality to it.

It what? It has a magical quality?

It does. What do you mean?

I mean that church is special. We can go.

I'll take you to get a dress. There you go, right there.

It'd be great! Okay, you're coming with us for sure because you're...

I just have to tell you. You're embarrassing!

And you know what you're doing is you're so embarrassed of your f*cking self that you gotta put me down.

You're worried that you're ugly, and you're not. I'm trying to tell you that.

So you need to get all this f*cking approval by all these other people.

Why can't I just be enough for you?

I don't need approval.

You know what I'd like is for my boyfriend to love me.

Actually, for my husband to love me.

Yeah, who's your f*cking boyfriend?

You have a boyfriend? Yeah, I've got a boyfriend.

That hurts. Yeah, I have a boyfriend.

Call me your f*cking boyfriend.

You're my boyfriend.

You're my boyfriend if you don't treat me like your wife.

I don't even know what that f*cking means.

It means clean your sh*t up. You're f*cking messy.

That's what it means. Well, that's not true.

Oh, it isn't? Mmm-mmm.

Let's go. You wanna be my drinking buddy?

Wanna practice?

I don't think you could handle it.

You don't? Let me see.

And you know why? 'Cause you're too worried about what everybody else is thinking. Here we go.

Here we go, Jack. You want me to be your dad?

Be your drinking buddy? Yeah.

Yeah, you couldn't be my dad if you f*cking tried.

He had more talent in his f*cking finger than you have in your whole f*cking body.

So don't even f*cking go there about that, all right?

That's over the f*cking line.

Why don't you have another drink, and we can just get f*cking drunk until we f*cking disappear, okay?

Hey! Do you got those pills in your pocket?

You're just f*cking ugly, that's all.

I'm what? You're just f*cking ugly.

Get the f*ck out.

Get out!

I said, get out!

Fine.

Good evening.

Down!

Something fell through, so I was able to come back a few days early.

I think I might have said some things...

Just how I acted.

You hurt me.

You really hurt me.

Sorry.

You haven't been drinking.

What'd you say?

I said you haven't been drinking. I can tell.

No, I haven't. No.

I have to get back to rehearsal...

Oh, yeah.

Can I watch?

Yeah, okay.

Meet me at home.

Or I can wait and drive you home.

Just meet me at home. Okay.

What do you mean, they don't want me to sing?

They hired this f*cking kid at the last minute.

They didn't tell me a f*cking thing.

Look, we've been on that other side before.

More than once.

Yeah.

Truth is, I didn't deliver.

Well, it's a good thing I know the, uh...

How to play the guitar. It's fine, I'll do it.

You're gonna do it? Sure.

That's it! Do not... Direct quote!

Do you know what Paul Anka actually said to him?

No, what did he say? He said, "Would you please pull the car over

Yeah, I'm great.

They have me going in early, so I gotta go now and then...

But I made sure that they tell me where you're sitting, so that I can go right after.

Okay. Okay. 'Cause I don't wanna miss the awards because it's right before it.

Looks great. You just got that look on your face.

I do? Watch... It's gone.

Amazing. Gonna get to see you perform tonight, get to see you sing.

Hey, Jack, that's an incredible collection of vinyl you have in there.

Take whatever you want. It's yours.

Hi. You okay?

I was trying to go to the men's room, and they rushed me over here. Okay, put your legs inside.

I had to go to the bathroom. Put your legs inside.

They're announcing your f*cking category. Keep quiet.

And the winner is... Yeah...

Oh, this is exciting.

How great.

Ally!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

This is amazing!

All right. What happened?

Baby... We won!

Is that why everybody's... Yep, that's right!

Yeah, Ally!

Where are we going?

Just stay right here. Go sit back there.

Go sit back there.

I'll stay here.

Oh, my gosh, thank you! You look beautiful. Thank you!

Oh, wow!

Oh, my gosh!

I can't believe I'm holding one of these.

Thank you to Rez Gavron, my manager.

Thank you for believing in me...

Wait, did you win?

...and telling me to get back from behind the piano and onto the stage.

Did you just win?

Thank you to my... My, uh... To Jack Maine, my husband.

Should I come up there? I love you so much.

I always wanted to be a singer on a big stage, and because of him, I am.

We're having a lot of fun tonight.

Yeah.

I... sh*t.

Look.

If I haven't thanked you yet, just...

Did you see you're up there?

Yeah, I do.

I started out singing with this beautiful man, and I'll sing with him for life. Right, baby?

Yeah.

I'm so blessed to be in the company of such wonderful musicians.

This is a dream come true, and all I can say is...

...believe in yourself, and don't give up because there is a spot on that stage for you.

Oh, sh*t. Oh, f*ck. Good night.

I think I peed myself. Baby, just turn around.

Oh!

I think I do... Baby, baby, can you...

I think that's a bad come down. Holy sh*t!

Just take him to the shower. Go to the left. Follow me, Wolf.

Ally, you just go inside, okay?

It's on the left, Dad. I got it.

Go inside! They got him, they got him. They got him! It's my job!

Don't you f*cking do this to my daughter.

Hey, hey!

What the f*ck is wrong with you?

Get off!

Damn it! Watch his f*cking head.

What, what?

Bobby'll take you there.

You have Bobby's number?

No, Jack, hon, you gotta sit up.

I don't want you to choke, baby. Sit up!

All right, I might've taken too much.

You all right in there?

I'm fine.

He's fine.

So, everybody has their journal, and we remember the homework assignment, the three things that I wanted you to write down.

Jack, hey.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm late.

You can't be late, Jack.

Understood, sorry.

Good, where's your journal?

It's in my room. No, no, no.

Sit down.

So, it's all agreed. Nobody's ever late here, right?

Okay. Good.

Anything you wanna tell us?

Um...

I'm grateful to...

To be here and trying to hold it together.

I'm Jack. I'm an alcoholic.

Jack.

Drug addict.

This is all my fault.

You don't have that kind of power, Dad.

Eat your dinner. Eat your food.

I don't even know what meal it is.

Go and have some fruit.

How many times did you carry my piano up the stairs?

How many times did you sit there while I wrote a song?

Always. Okay, it's okay. It's okay.

You didn't do anything. It's not your fault.

You're just the greatest person in the world.

How long have you been here now?

Two months.

Can it be fixed?

Well, you would know that, don't you?

Once it's gone, it's gone.

I don't know what you have.

Oh, well, the tinnitus, they say, once you...

Oh, tinnitus can't be fixed. Right.

Well, I just hear that tone, that's all.

The tone, yeah.

The ringing.

I have hearing aids on, as you...

No, I know. That's why I asked you.

You know, I'm convinced that it happened when I was younger, I used to...

My dad had a Victrola, an old record player.

My head was just about the size of it when I was a kid, and I used to love to just put my whole head in there.

He was big into the blues, so...

'Cause you gotta figure, it's just me and him all day long.

My brother's out there tryin' to make something of himself.

So I took one of his belts.

I put it around the ceiling fan and tried to do the deed.

The whole f*cking fan came out of the ceiling.

Had a big cut on my f*cking forehead.

I was more mad about that than it not working.

And he didn't even notice.

He didn't even f*cking notice.

'Cause he was drunk? Yeah.

That f*cking fan stayed on the floor for about half a year.

How old were you then?

I was just shy of 13.

Aww!

You smell good.

You smell good, and you look good too.

Swimming. I've been swimming.

You've been swimming? Yeah, there's a pool.

I love that you're swimming. Yeah.

That's a great pool there. Yeah.

How's Charlie?

Oh, Charlie's sweet.

He just sort of sits by the door like this.

Waiting for daddy.

We're both waiting for daddy.

What, three weeks?

You are gonna come back, right?

What do you mean?

You gonna come home when you're done?

Do you not want me to? No, I want you to.

I'm just wondering if... I just...

Where else would I go? I don't know.

I guess I just thought... You know, it's like...

There's Jack... Wait, wait, wait.

Why would you say that? I don't know. I guess...

I wondered, without the booze, if you would want to come home.

'Cause when you met me, you were drinking, and now you're not.

I wasn't drunk the whole time we were together.

I know, but...

But it got bad when we were together.

It's okay. I mean, it's fine.

I just was wondering, that's all, and whatever you want is okay.

Whatever I want? I wanna be with you.

That's why I'm here. Okay, I know, I know.

I just want you to be happy.

I'm working on that.

I need to stick with you.

I brought something.

I wanna know what this is.

"My Love."

You hiding love songs?

No, I wouldn't...

I wouldn't say I was hiding it. I just...

I started puttin' it down to paper when we were at home.

I don't know, it just sort of fell out of me, I guess, and onto this page.

And I put it in here, and I thought...

I thought maybe you'd find it

when you came back to you, maybe.

Well, I found it.

Listen.

I'm, uh...

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I...

It's okay. It's not your fault.

I'm sorry I did that.

It's okay.

It's not your fault. It's a disease.

No, but I embarrassed you.

I embarrassed you, and I... I'm not embarrassed of you.

It was so wrong.

And then your dad...

My father loves you, it's okay.

I know, but I...

It's okay. I know, but I...

It's okay.

It's okay.

I have figured out what I think is the best solution for both of us.

Jack should come out on tour with me.

We'll start with our duets. I know he's gonna be able to play by himself.

You realize that's not an option.

He's so inside of his art in a way he has never been.

He can hear himself again. Ally, there is no way that you can take Jack on tour with you. There is no way.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

You know what? If you can't make that happen, then f*cking cancel the tour. I don't know what to tell you.

I think if we had a better band name, we might've made it.

Or maybe it was 'cause we looked like a father and son duo.

Not many of those around.

I was not a good look for you, that's for sure.

Not my fault I couldn't find a better guitar player in the whole g*dd*mn state.

Where in the f*ck is it?

Right here.

Thanks for the ride.

Sure thing, Jack.

Hey, you know, uh... When I, um...

When I said I would... You know, when I...

Took your voice, you know.

It's you I idolized. It wasn't Dad.

What was that guy?

Hey.

Hey.

I wanna know how you hear this.

That sounded unbelievable, what you were playing.

Thank you. It's nice to hear it.

Thank you, and I had the beautiful backdrop of you and Charlie.

I only heard it in my mind for so many weeks, so it's good to hear it...

The words are beautiful.

In the real thing. In the real thing.

Well, you want me to do that? Mmm-hmm.

Oh, God, I don't know. I knew you were gonna ask me.

Back from the dead.

Hey, sorry. Were you waiting long?

Hey, Jack. No, no.

Uh... Ally's not home.

No, I told her I'd meet her here, if that's okay.

Of course, yeah.

Here you go.

Hey, thanks for taking care of my girl when I was gone.

Anything for her.

She told me about that European leg.

That's a hell of an accomplishment this soon out of the gate.

sh*t, I remember it was like ten years before I even went across the pond.

It was summer, 2004.

sh*t, was it?

We're not exactly friends here.

While you've been away, we've been back here in serious triage, trying to clean up your f*cking mess.

Barely finding our way through it.

You almost single-handedly derailed her whole career.

You understand that?

She's never gonna say this to you.

She loves you too much.

Just by staying married to you, she looks like a joke.

It's embarrassing.

Let's be honest, we both know it's only a matter of time before that's pushed aside again for the real thing.

And when that happens, I don't want her anywhere near you.

Hey.

I have some good news.

Yeah? Mmm-hmm.

I'm not gonna go to Europe.

We're gonna cancel the rest of the tour, and I'm just gonna be here all summer.

Isn't that great?

What happened?

Nothing happened.

The label just loves the record, and it's doing so well, and they wanna keep with the momentum and have me make another one.

Rez is super psyched, so it'll be great.

So tonight's gonna be my last show.

Going out with a bang at the Forum.

Great.

Yeah.

Why don't you come with me?

We can sing "Shallow" together.

The fans will go crazy to see you.

Come on, cowboy.

Yeah, why not? Okay.

Yeah?

Okay, good.

I'll have a car come get you.

Once I get there.

I'll go meet you there.

I'll see you soon, okay?

Hey.

What?

I just wanted to take another look at you.

Bye, honey.

Bye.

Come here, Charlie.

Come here.

Thank you so much for bringing us all here together.

Please look over all of the dancers tonight and the band.

And my husband, Jackson.

We're so excited for him to be here with us.

We got a big night.

We're at the Forum. LA. Let's do this.

♪ Why did you do that? ♪

Is he here?

He's not here.

He's not here?

We have to do "Shallow" regardless, okay?

The guitar's up there.

Everything's gonna remain the same, okay?

What? The guitar's up there.

Everything's gonna remain the same.

Both verses.

I'm sure it was just a bit much for him, that's all.

Please send somebody to the house, please.

I'm doing it right now.

I have 15 seconds.

Give it up for my husband, Jackson.

I can stay, if you want.

Some kid started singing one of his songs in a bar I was in the other night.

They're playing his songs everywhere.

At first I got angry.

I don't know why.

I guess I felt like, how can any of these people feel like they knew him?

Who he really was.

But then something changed.

And it soothed me.

That it wasn't all for f*cking nothing.

The last thing I did was lie to him.

Listen to me.

It isn't your fault.

It just isn't.

You know whose fault it was?

Jack.

That's it.

No one else.

Not you, not me.

No one but Jack.

I just keep going over and over it, over it in my head.

Jack talked about how music is essentially 12 notes between any octave.

12 notes and the octave repeats.

It's the same story.

Told over and over.

Forever.

All any artist can offer the world is how they see those 12 notes.

That's it.

He loved how you see them.

He just kept saying, "I love how she sees them, Bobby."

Hello, I'm Ally Maine.

Thank you for being here tonight to honor my husband.

He wrote a song for me.

I'd like to sing it for him tonight.

And with your help, maybe I can.

Thank you.

Really.

Thank you.
