04x06 - Please Help Me, I'm Fallin'

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Nashville"...

I need to stay another day.

There's some stuff we need to sort through here.

Come with me. I'm so ready.

Rayna: You've got so much growing up to do.

I'm gonna be making the rules.

You're gearing up to launch a Luke Wheeler lifestyle brand.

There's business, there's pleasure. I don't mix the two.

Will: It's my song.

This will establish you as a songwriter.

That's not what I came to Nashville to do.

Thanks for the ride, guys... seriously.

I'm the artist, okay? What I say goes.

I'm a good producer.

Good, 'cause you're not my producer anymore.

I want to divorce my wife.

I want full custody of our daughter.

This is my lawyer's number. You have 24 hours.

♪♪

[Exhales sharply]

[Exhales sharply]

[Breathing heavily] That was... pretty great.

Yeah. Yeah, it was. [Chuckles]

Thanks again for the ride back.

Wait... you're leaving?

Yeah. I got stuff I need to take care of today.

Well, you want to, uh... You want to grab breakfast?

Not really a breakfast person.

Okay. Sure.

Uh, well, I can at least give you a... give you a lift.

It's cool.

I'll Uber.

This was fun.

[Chuckles]

Oh, wait. I... I don't have your number.

I know where you live.

[Sniffles]

I hope you got good sleep.

We're gonna need all of that charm of yours for the day we've got planned.

Well, seems to have worked on everybody so far, hasn't it?

Well... almost everybody.

[Both chuckle]

You've got a luncheon with investors at noon and then a presentation to brand executives at 3:00.

If all goes well, then tonight's event on the rooftop should be a victory celebration.

Mm.

Colt: It sucks here without you.

The last 12 hours have been painful.

Oh, come on. Is it really that bad?

[Giggles]

Hey, how mad was your mom when you got home?

Maddie: Pretty mad.

I mean, she grounded me for getting onstage, if you can believe that.

She doesn't know, does she?

What? That I love you?

No, she doesn't.

I love you, too.

[Knock on door, door opens]

My mom's here. I have to go.

So, I was just talking to your father, and we want to take your phone away.

Why?!

Because you have taken advantage of our trust, and you're gonna have to earn it back.

You are making such a big deal of this, Mom.

I got onstage with Juliette.

Look, when you get up onstage like that, it makes an impression.

What you wear, the song that you choose... all of that leaves a mark about who you are as an artist and as a person.

And if grounding you and taking your phone away is the only way we're gonna get that across, then that's what's gonna happen.

Mom.

No. Phone, please.

Just let me text Colt one last time.

Right... right now.

Maddie Conrad, give me that phone.

[Groans]

[Sighs]

Mr. Arkham. Hey.

She did?

What'd she say?

To all the terms?

Hey! Morning, Cady.

Uh-huh.

[Cadence coos]

Long time, no see.

All right. Thanks for calling. Yeah.

[Gasps] Yeah.

You okay?

I'm getting a divorce.

Scarlett: I don't know if I'm ready to do this.

Deacon: Do what?

Go on tour with Gunnar. We leave in a week.

My mama dies, and I just go back to living my life? It's...

Yeah, I get that. Doesn't seem right.

Just going on like nothing even happened.

[Sighs]

Like she wasn't even here.

Well, the sooner we get home, the sooner I can figure it out.

I got that. Hey.

I got it.

[Sighs]

Here. Thank you.

Scarlett O'Connor.

You're Beverly's daughter, right?

Yes, ma'am.

Uh, this is my Uncle Deacon.

Hi. Beverly told me about you both.

We were old friends.

I... I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

How long you in town?

Oh, we leave today.

We're just packing up the last of her things.

[Cash register dings]

Mm, that's a shame.

The owner of the Landslide's having a get-together tonight in Beverly's honor.

Landslide?

That's the lounge Mama used to sing at.

Sundays were her night, and this'll be the first one since she passed.

How long's she been doing that?

I'd say about the last four years.

She'll definitely be missed.

Thank you.

So, come on in. Welcome.

Oh, yeah. Nice pad.

Thanks.

Help yourself.

Um, so, let's talk about what happened with Avery yesterday.

Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with that guy, but obviously, that dude was the wrong choice.

Well, let's figure out the right choice, you know... what worked, what didn't work, what you're gonna need.

Well, it's just, you know, it's like, the thing with him was that he didn't get me, you know?

What I was trying to do.

Well, I've got a great list of producers.

We're gonna set up meetings with them.

What about you?

No, I'm not a producer.

I mean, and I want you to have the best.

These guys have so much experience, and they're gonna be...

So, what?

They're gonna lecture me about what country music is?

No. You're the one who saw something special in my music.

You're the one who sold me on this whole country thing.

So why aren't you producing my record?

[Sighs]

Rayna, I'm not taking no for an answer.

I mean, I'll give it a sh*t.

Yes!

Okay, so, check this out... after Avery left, me and the boys, we came up with this new song.

You got to hear it.

Okay. Great. Let's set it up first thing tomorrow.

[Chuckling] No. No, no, no, no.

We're gonna start today, okay?

So meet me at sound check.

[Door opens]

[Indistinct conversations]

Layla: Babe!

Hey, you!

[Laughing] Oh!

Mm.

Did you miss me?

So much.

[Elevator bell dings]

Woman: [Echoing, muffled] That's Juliette Barnes.

Hey.

Hey, Juliette. Is everything okay?

Avery's divorcing me.

Man: [Echoing, muffled] It's that singer. It's Juliette Barnes.

Woman #2: What's wrong with her?

It's her. I know it's her.

Is she sick?

That's Juliette.

[People murmuring]

Man #2: That's Juliette.

Woman #3: Wait! Get a picture of her.

Juliette, Juliette. Can I take a picture with you?

Please?

Aah! Get off!

Stay away from me!

What the hell? Hey. Hey!

Oh, my god.

Get her off me! Get her off me!

[Fan screaming]

Aah! Leave me alone!

Aah! Get off me!

♪♪

[Sighs]

I just want to say, there's nothing wrong with being a songwriter, but... my dream was always to perform.

If we give that song to Luke, it feels like I'm giving that up.

Right.

I know you're disappointed.

[Scoffs]

More like confused.

If performing is what you love...

It is.

That stage... that's the place I've always felt happiest.

That's where you should be.

Hey, look, I have a friend hosting a showcase tonight.

Why don't I give him a call, see if he'll put you on the bill?

[Keys jingle]

Why not?

Luke: I mean, what in the world is going on with you, Juliette?

Last night, you... you pull that stunt with Maddie.

Now you att*ck a fan. What is it... booze, dr*gs?

You know what? It's none of your business.

Leave me alone.

[Bottle clinks]

[Coughs, sniffles]

[Sobbing]

Well, I talked to the fan.

She's not gonna press charges.

That's great, but word's still gonna spread.

I saw more than a few cellphones out.

I mean, could the timing of this be any worse?

What's the potential fallout?

We've chosen some pretty wholesome brands to get into business with.

You're saying it could jeopardize everything.

Unless we control the story in the press.

Make it so Juliette's not at fault.

Sounds like a long sh*t.

It could be our only sh*t.

Listen, I got investors downstairs waiting to have lunch with me.

Y'all just do what you can, okay?

Do you really think you can pull this off in the next few hours?

Yeah.

But if I do, you got to do something for me.

Convince Luke to make me his C.E.O.

That's a bold ask.

You wanted me to to prove that I could put the job first, right?

How does this do that?

You would have needed to clean this up for Juliette anyway.

Let me put this another way.

I could also do nothing, spend the day with my girlfriend, and everything that you and Luke have been working towards for weeks goes down in flames.

[Music plays]

Hold up, guys.

[Music stops]

Rayna!

Hi.

You made it.

Yes.

Thank you.

Hey. Hi.

Uh, these are my daughters, Maddie and Daphne.

Hi.

Hey, Mr. Keen. I'm, like, such a huge fan.

Oh, please... call me Markus.

So, what do you think?

I loved it. It sounded like Boulevard.

Right? Right? Yeah.

Hold on a second. I recognize you.

[Snaps fingers] The guys just showed me a clip of you singing in Atlanta.

You k*lled that.

Well, thank you.

[Chuckling] Yes.

Why don't y'all go sit on the couch over there and get yourselves comfortable?

Okay.

And you, Madame Producer, you like?

Um, yeah. It sounds great.

It does sound like Boulevard.

Hold on.

You're saying that like it's a bad thing.

No, no, but we had just talked about how you wanted to change up the sound a little bit.

This... this isn't Boulevard. This is all me.

Uh, no, I... I hear that, and it's a great song.

Let's just play around with it a little bit.

You wanted me to be your producer, right?

Hey, y'all.

Man: Rayna!

Yeah.

I've got news.

Guess what.

Sorry. You first.

Kevin's buddy got me on the bill.

I'm gonna perform tonight.

Oh, that's awesome.

Good for you, man.

Yeah, thank you.

So, what's your news?

An earring?

Mm-hmm.

How is that news?

I found it on the floor. It must be Erin's.

Who?

The girl Gunnar slept with last night who didn't leave her number.

Because she left this.

[Chuckles] It's what women do.

They... they leave something behind so you're forced to track them down.

Come on. It's a game.

[tv turns on]

No, it was a one-night stand.

Gunnar, you always do this.

You chase every girl you hook up with and try to turn it into a relationship.

Reporter: Country star Juliette Barnes is in the news again.

If she didn't leave her number, she doesn't want to see you.

Cellphone footage is pouring in from Atlanta...

Avery.

... where she allegedly att*cked a fan who approached her for an autograph.

[Screaming]

It's unclear as to why the star att*cked the fan.

Perhaps it's the pressure of her demanding schedule.

[Remote clicks]

[Avery sighs]

There's something really wrong.

I should call her, make sure she's okay.

No, don't call her.

If you do, you're just gonna get sucked back into her craziness.

He's right, man. Juliette is officially no longer your problem.

[Crying] He doesn't want me anymore.

You are not to leave this room for the rest of the day.

Why wouldn't he list...

Now, sit.

[Breathing heavily]

[Slurring] Wait. Wait. Where are you going?

Oh. [Chuckles] You're going to Layla?

I need you more than she does.

What you need is to get sober.

You know that you would drop her in a second if I gave you another sh*t at me.

[Laughing] Yeah?

All you were to me was a one-time bang in a broom closet, sweetheart.

[Scoffs]

Shut up.

Hey...

What the hell? Hey!

Sit!

What is wrong with you?!

You know you want me. Everybody wants me.

I couldn't want a woman less.

No wonder Avery left you.

What a waste.

[Door opens, closes]

[Sighs]

That's all the books packed up.

Thank you.

The rest of this stuff should only take about an hour, and then we can hit the road.

I was thinking... maybe we could go to that gathering they're having for your mother.

Well, we really got to go while there's still daylight.

Don't you want to see all the people, see the place?

I have.

It's just a... sad lounge where none of mama's dreams came true.

I still want to go.

Fine. I... I'm gonna stay here.

[Guitar playing]

Yes. I love that.

Perfect. Okay, all right.

Want to give it a sh*t?

Yeah.

See what happens.

[Cellphone bloops]

Man: 3... 4...

["In the Name of Your Love" playing]

Uh, k*ll it. Just... stop.

[Music stops]

What's up?

I'm just not feeling it.

Okay, well, um... should we sing one through and just see what happens?

No, I don't really see what the point is if I know I don't like it, you know?

Well, it's definitely different from what you're used to.

Yeah. I get that.

But you don't need to be afraid of that.

[Chuckling] Oh.

I'm not afraid.

[Chuckles]

I... okay, I don't mean "afraid."

Just... you don't have to resist it just 'cause it's new, you know?

I mean, let's try a bunch of different stuff.

Fine, but this isn't a collaboration right now.

This is a dictation.

No, it's not.

Yeah, it is.

You put this whole arrangement together without even asking me.

That's not true.

Yes, it i... you know, maybe you were right before.

Maybe you shouldn't produce me.

Okay.

But just so we're clear, I'm doing exactly what you asked me to do.

No, that's when I thought you got me, Rayna.

You don't.

You know what?

[Scoffs]

Maybe this whole thing is a mistake.

[Sighs] Hi.

[Laughs]

Finally.

Hey. I know. Listen, I can't stay, though.

I got to take care of this Juliette situation.

What? I thought that's what you've been doing.

I... yes, but there's more to it.

Are these... scratches?

Stop it.

Oh, my god.

It's nothing.

What... are you sleeping with her again?!

Hey, hey, don't be ridiculous.

Why?!

You've done it before! She told me herself!

Well, do you think I give a damn about her?!

Listen to me.

Stop.

Listen to me.

If I can just clean up this Juliette thing in the press...

Ugh!

Okay, look, I have a real sh*t at being the C.E.O. of Luke's new company.

What?

And if that happens, we'll never have to deal with her again.

Well... so you won't be my manager, either?

No. I won't.

Which will make things a lot less complicated when you move in with me.

What?

Really?

[Chuckling] Yeah.

What are you still doing here?

Go.

[Door opens]

Erin: Hello?

Erin. Hey. It's... it's Gunnar.

How did you get my number?

Actually, it's, uh, kind of a funny story.

I called Juliette's tour manager and asked him for it, but he wouldn't give it to me 'cause of some confidentiality policy.

Anyway, so I told him I was looking for a sound tech.

[Chuckles] You know, 'cause Juliette had you fired.

Quick thinking, right?

Anyway, uh, he finally gave it to me, and, uh, now here we are.

Okay.

So... what do you want?

Well, uh...

You left your earring here, and I figured you probably wanted it back.

I wasn't wearing earrings last night.

Oh.

Well, anyway, um, since I got you, I was wondering if, by chance, you wanted to catch my buddy Will Lexington sing tonight.

He's sort of giving a surprise performance.

Sure. Why not?

Just text me the details, and I'll meet you there.

Bye, Gunnar.

[Pinball clacks]

[Beeping, clicking]

Can we have a conversation about what just happened, please?

Look, I brought you to Nashville because I could hear the storyteller in your music, and that's what I'm trying to get out there.

I want to be able to connect your voice to the audience, like we talked about.

You and I both know the only reason you brought me to Nashville is because you need me... because your label was going under, you couldn't sign a big Nashville act.

Yeah, I know.

Okay, fine. Sure, I needed you.

But I would argue you needed me.

Oh, yeah? And how do you figure that?

The word is out on you.

I mean, come on... difficult, arrogant, abrasive.

[Scoffs] Okay.

All of it kind of proving to be true right now.

Cool. Rayna, then let's just cut ties. How 'bout that?

No!

Look, you're lashing out because you're questioning everything and you're doubting it.

And I get it... you're scared.

But we have the opportunity to do something special here.

I wish you would trust me on that.

I just... I'm... I'm... I'm not... I'm not hearing, you know, what you're hearing.

Did I ever tell you about the first time I heard your music?

Come with me.

Man: ... getting some feedback.

Rayna: Hey, girls. Hey.

Y'all know that Boulevard song you sang at the talent show?

How'd you feel about singing that for Markus right now?

Wait... they're gonna sing my song?

Yeah.

I want you to hear what I heard.

Oh. So now you want me to sing.

Yeah. I do.

Now? Right now?

Yeah. Is that okay?

Not really.

Seriously?

Hey, easy.

What's the matter, honey?

I just... I don't want to.

I'll be right back.

Yeah.

Hey.

Mom, I don't want to sing, okay?

Okay. Okay. You don't have to sing.

I just want to make sure you're all right.

You usually jump at the chance to sing a song.

Seems like lately, you don't want anything to do with music at all.

What's the matter?

After me and Maddie sang that song at the talent show, I was in the bathroom, and I overheard these girls saying mean things.

Like what?

[Voice breaking] Stuff about Dad...

... and how we should be embarrassed to be onstage.

Well, that is... ridiculous.

You are so talented.

You and your sister should have nothing but pride in the gift that you have.

No one's ever said anything about me like that.

You know, people...

[Sighs]

... they're always gonna be negative.

But that can't ever take away from what you do and how you feel about it.

I mean, you love music, right?

You love how you feel when you're singing.

Right?

No one can ever take that from you.

Reporter: ... news from Atlanta.

The fan att*cked by Juliette Barnes this morning has issued a formal apology.

What happened this morning with Ms. Barnes was my fault.

I have been stalking her for weeks, seeking her out at hotels and venues, invading her privacy.

Today, I took my harassment too far, provoking her verbally and physically.

Juliette Barnes is a role model for young women everywhere, and I am sorry for any negative attention I may have brought upon her by my behavior.

[Cellphone buzzes]

What can I do for you, Avery?

What's wrong with Juliette?

Nothing. Why?

She att*cked a fan.

Who provoked her.

Oh, give me a break.

That apology had your fingerprints all over it.

Is she losing it? She having a breakdown?

You left her. Why do you care?

Because I do, okay?

She's the mother of my child, and she's sick.

She needs more than a manager paying people off.

She needs help, and if you don't get it for her, so help me god...

Look, look, look, man, look.

The last time I saw her, she was in her room, and she was fine.

♪ Was midnight on the stormy deep ♪

Woman: Yes, you remember Beverly got so peeved at you 'cause you were making a noise.

She stopped the band and told you to pipe down.

That sounds like my sister.

Hey.

Hey. I'm so glad you came.

Packed, ready to go.

No. No, we can't go now. Look at this place.

All these people here, they showed up for your mom.

Who are they all?

Well, they're friends from around town.

They're people who'd come here and hear her sing.

Let me introduce you now. Come on.

Where I come from, the guy picks up the girl on the way to the dance.

I bring good news.

Yeah?

I just received commitments from all the remaining investors.

The Luke Wheeler Lifestyle Brand is now fully funded.

You're serious.

Hey! [Chuckling] All right!

Oh, I can't thank you enough.

Well... you were the one who wowed everybody.

[Laughs]

And, uh, thanks to Jeff, that whole Juliette episode this morning was a non-issue.

Well, I guess I ought to give him a hug, too.

[Laughs]

Actually, I was thinking of something else.

What's that?

The C.E.O. job.

I thought we already talked about that.

We did.

But now I'm asking you to reconsider.

[Rapid knocks on door]

Have you seen the news?

Yeah, I just...

There is something really wrong with her.

I can tell.

Yeah, I know. Me too.

Have you called her?

No.

But you're going to, right?

No. I'm not.

What do you mean? You're... you're practically her father.

You're acting like you don't even care!

Of course I care!

Avery, it is breaking my heart to watch this happen to her.

And I know it's breaking yours, too.

I know you're still in love with Juliette.

But it doesn't matter how much you care about her if she doesn't care about herself.

Look, I can't believe I'm saying this.

The best thing that you can do right now is to just cut yourself off emotionally.

Ohh! Thank you.

Well, see, that's why I want you producing.

You're still crazy.

[Chuckles] No.

Hey, and I got to thank Maddie. Girl, you unlocked it.

[Laughs]

Can we go home now?

In all the years I've had this bar, Beverly's night was always my best.

Is that right?

She was a born performer.

She was that.

Yeah.

It's just too bad this is Natchez and not Nashville.

Woman: Your mother used to come into my salon, sit in my chair, and brag on you till the moment she left.

About what?

Well, how you were out on tour with Luke Wheeler or opening for Rascal Flatts.

And then there was a clip of you with some fella named Gunnar on the Internet?

She must have played it for me a dozen times.

Really?

You know, no one was supposed to sing tonight, but that was when nobody knew you were coming.

Would you consider singing something?

Uh, do you think that would be appropriate?

Dear, I think it would be perfect.

Told you this would be fun.

Yeah, hanging out with a bunch of stuffy, old people instead of my girlfriend.

Time of my life.

You know what?

Why don't you try and enjoy yourself a little bit?

I'll enjoy this.

Luke: Hey, y'all.

Hey.

You certainly went all-out.

Well, I got a lot to celebrate.

Uh, listen.

I know you were interested in the C.E.O. position.

I also know I haven't always trusted you, Jeff.

But today, you more than proved your commitment to me.

Welcome aboard.

[Laughs]

Thank you.

I won't let you down.

No, I know.

Have fun tonight.

Tomorrow, we start talking about the future.

All right.

All right.

Huh? Mnh!

You did it!

[Both laugh]

I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

Better call the movers.

Already did.

[Scoffs]

You all right?

[Scoffs]

Did you not see those girls push that gay guy up front, like he's the only one I can sing to?

They were just having fun.

That doesn't matter.

That's how they see me now.

So what am I looking at from here on out?

A lifetime of playing gay pride parades?

I think you're being a little dramatic.

No, I'm not.

My dream is dead.

What do you want me to say, Will?

Don't say anything.

Which is what I should have done.

I mean, if I hadn't opened my damn mouth at that press conference, none of this would even be happening.

I can't keep doing this with you.

We're done.

[Indistinct conversations]

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

And for those of you that I haven't gotten to meet yet, I'm Scarlett.

I'm Beverly's daughter.

[Cheers and applause]

I'd really like to sing one of my mama's songs for you, if that would be all right.

This is a song that she closed all her shows with.

[Cheers and applause]

Told you I knew where you lived.

[Chuckles] I'm a little confused.

Why?

Well, this morning, you... you fled, and then you accept my invitation to the show, only, you kind of blew me off, and now you're here.

Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it.

[Scoffs] Wait. What what is this?

Fun.

[Sighs]

Rayna: Hey, Maddie.

What?

Can I talk to you for a sec?

So, honey, did you see the difference between what you sang today with Markus and what you did with Juliette last night?

No.

Okay, well, what you did today was your interpretation of his song.

It was from you. It was from your heart.

What you did last night was something else.

It was... not reflective of you or who you want to be.

Whatever you say, Mom.

Hey, one more thing.

Hmm?

Daphne's been having a tough time.

I think she really wanted to sing with you today.

How was I supposed to know that she was gonna change her mind?

You weren't. You weren't. I'm just...

I just want you to be aware so that you can try to be more considerate of her feelings... that's all.

Why should I care what you want when you do not care what I want?

You know, all these years, I thought mama resented me for my career.

'Cause I had something she wanted so bad and never got.

Turns out she was proud of me.

She still is, too, sweetheart.

I know she was smiling down from above tonight.

I'm gonna do that tour with Gunnar.

It's what she would have wanted for me.

So I'm gonna do it for her.

Well, good.

I'm glad you made me stay.

Me too.

Now I know how much she meant to that place...

... how much it must have meant to her.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Thump] Sorry!

Hey! There you are. Haven't seen you.

Yeah, I've just been around, having fun, like you said.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm just tired. I'm gonna go to bed.

Okay.

Amazing night.

Quite possibly the best ever.

What do you say we go celebrate alone?

Uh, I should probably stay here for a little bit longer.

You go. I'll be down soon.

Okay. Take your time.

If I'm asleep when you get in, just wake me.

[Both chuckle]

[Cellphone clatters]

[Cellphone chimes]

[Cellphone rings]

Hey.

Hey, hold on a sec.

I'm not catching you too late, am I?

Never too late if you need to talk.

You all right?

Actually, yeah.

I'm... I'm pretty good.

So what's up?

Well, I've been thinking about that bar of yours.

I know you've been having some trouble keeping her going.

You're right about that.

Well, I think I might have some ideas to help out a little bit, and I, uh...

... I want to buy in.

You serious?

[Chuckling] I am, yeah.

I was wondering if I could make one request, though.

What's that?

That we rename the place.

How do you feel about...

"The Beverly"?

Luke: All right, thanks for coming, y'all.

Thank you for keeping your word.

Hey, you earned it.

What do you think, team? Time to call it?

I'd say it was a successful day.

Many more to come.

Hey, you coming?

I'm gonna take a minute.

All right. Suit yourself, C.E.O.

[Lock beeps, disengages]

Well, I guess everything worked out perfectly.

You really not gonna invite me in?

I told you... there are lines I don't cross when it comes to clients.

Fair enough.

You're fired.

[Laughing] Really?

After everything I've done for you?

Oh, it's just for tonight.

I plan on hiring you back first thing in the morning.

[Cellphone buzzing]

[Buzzing continues]

Hello?

Hey, it's me.

Maddie?

Yeah. I took Daphne's phone.

Hey.

Nice to hear from you.

Are you okay? You sound weird.

Um...

Yeah... you mind if I actually call you back?

Sure.

Okay.

Ugh.

[Horns honking]

Avery: I can't have her grow up thinking that she can depend on her mother when we both know that she can't.

Juliette: [Crying] I lost everything that meant anything to me.

I'm just stuck being stupid, screwed-up me!

Jeff: ... a one-time bang in a broom closet, sweetheart.

Juliette: [Distorted] You don't need to remind me of the mistakes I've made.

Jeff: No wonder Avery left you.

What a waste.

Jeff: Juliette.

Don't do this.

Please.

No!

Ohh!

[Gasps]

Aaaaaaaaah!
