01x08 - What's Your Last Name

Post by bunniefuu »

-How about this,

Johnny boy?

Lily stays in the band,

or I call Gretchen,

blow the cover off this

whole f*cking charade

you've got going.

-So why, Lily,

are you leaving?

-I've got more to me

than four strings

and I'm going to make

sure the world knows that.

[screams]

-Johnny did not kick

you out of the band,

he emancipated you.

-You really gaining

some momentum

with these hot new acts.

Your pops put you

in on this action?

-I've never met him.

-You want your own agency,

you want an investor?

You want all my acts

on your roster?

I know that with me

you are the future.

-I'm loyal to

the people that I love.

-Are you going to work

with me in rhythm

or in dissonance?

-It's bad enough I have

to deal with the stigma

of being a b*stard son.

Why would you call him?

-I wanted to make sure

he knows

how brilliant you are.

I wanted him to see that

he is missing out

on the best thing

that he ever created.

-Are you ready to have

The Relentless headline

the very first

Hit Parader festival?

-The Relentless invades

the nation's capitol.

Okay, I'm in.

-I want double the pay and

I want ownership in the fest.

-And where is that

going to come from?

-Those three lovely boys

who agreed

to kick me out of the band.



-Hi.

-Hey.

-Lily Mayflower.

Welcome to the crossroads.

-Thanks for the invitation.

-Please.

As I'm sure you know,

there's no better place

for you than Pantheon.

-That's why I'm here.

-Our number one rule

is don't be number two.

And you're aware of

my history with Elias.

-I'm more interested

in the future.

-That's good.

But before we start making

hit records together,

let's discuss structure

and how to format for radio.

Is that all right with you?

-Uh

I'm sorry, I, um

I don't create to put

money in your machine.

With all due respect, Oliver,

you put your money and machine

into what I create.

-Right.

I own the most powerful

radio department on the planet.

If I'm going to put everything

that I have behind you,

I need to know that you're

willing to play the game.

-I write to make waves.

Change culture,

influence the youth.

If radio stations

want to be a part of that,

then hallelujah, amazing.

That's something really special,

but I don't want you to

think for a second

that I give a f*ck about

appeasing any of them.

Because I don't.

And that goes for the VMAs

and whatever other

sideshow dinosaurs are trying

to stay cool this week.

-Cool.

You know that we don't

need you, right?

-I'd rather be wanted

than needed.

-Have you given much thought

to what a hit record's

going to do to your life?

Not being the bassist

of The Relentless,

but Lily Mayflower.

How is a hit record

going to change her life?

-Well, that sounds good

coming out of your mouth.

But I'll do whatever is needed

for me to express myself

in the most real,

raw way I can,

and Oliver, I respect you.

Your opinions, but

I'm still going to do

whatever I want.

-Right.

You know what, kiddo?

There's one thing that

I've learned in this business,

it's that you don't drown

from falling in the well.

You drown from staying there.

Best of luck to you.

-Artists grow on trees and you

have so many talented ones.

But Lily Mayflower only

grows like a lotus.

-Lily Mayflower grows

like a lotus.

Lotus petals open one by one.

It's considered the most

beautiful flower there is.

You're telling me that's you?

-And they only

grow in the mud.

I'm a dirty girl

in a rainstorm.

Take a chance.

Pour some sugar on me.

-Welcome to Pantheon.

-So it is official.

Lily Mayflower will play her

last ever show

with The Relentless

at the upcoming Hit Parader

Music and Art festival.

-Baby, get in here,

they're talking

about Lily on Hit Parader.

-clear the decision to

leave the band was her own,

there seems to be a

legion of angry fans

who are blaming frontman

Johnny Faust's fiancé

Gretchen Ruth.

It's unfortunate

there's so much

misdirected animosity

as the band has confirmed

they have split on

amicable terms.

-So, she didn't really

quit the band, did she?

-Quit? Nobody quits

the hottest band in the land.

Paid her a million dollars that

I don't know where

it's going to come from.

-Listen, stop, don't worry

about it, it's the Festival.

-This zipper won't zip.

-Babe.

-[doorbell rings]

-Just have fun, okay? Relax.

It's going to be fun.

Make sure you have

Ralphie, or have someone

record your speech, okay?

-Sure.

-Gotta go, gotta go.

What are you doing,

what's your plans?

-Uh, probably just going

to hang out with Gretchen.

She's got a big game

coming up, so

-It's the night of

the festival, isn't it?

Baby

Promise me you won't

say anything to her. Okay?

-Come here.

My lips are sealed.

That is until it breaks out

all over the internet

and everyone goes crazy!

-That's not going to happen.

-I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Go, go, go.

-All right. I love you.

-I love you.

[plays piano]

-Lily just announced

she's doing her own band.

-Oh my God.

-Did you know she was

going to be doing this?

-I mean, I knew she

would eventually, but

Not like this.

-Yeah. Look, babe

I really want to finally

get to see your show.

Take me to the festival

with you.

-Sweetheart, you know.

I'm just not ready for that.

-Right, but

I can just be in the crowd,

no one can know I'm with you.

-I'm sorry, Jackie.

-This isn't fair.

-I know it's not.

[applause]

-Thank you so much for all

those insightful comments.

We're going to take a few

questions from the audience.

Anyone? Yes.

-Hi, yeah, um, first of all,

big fan of you both.

What do you think is the most

powerful thing about live music?

-You take all these different

people from

different walks of life

and you go from a club to

an arena to a stadium.

it doesn't matter

how many people, but

all those people have

different points of view

about everything.

You can look at a painting

that's abstract,

and a lot of people

will have a different

interpretation of that.

Straight or g*y, the one place

where that opposition

does not exist

is when a group of

people gather

to come hear a common sound,

and that's sort of like

a mass meditation, you know?

And then everybody leaves and

they go their own separate ways

but for one minute,

everybody's united, man.

I think that's beautiful.

-Good question.

-And do we have any

other questions?

-If there was a piece of

advice that you would give

to an up and coming artist

or an up and coming band,

what would that be?

-I would say to any band,

make the music

that you love.

You love.

The rest will

take care of itself.



-The Hit Parader Fest

has begun.

Lots of surprise moments

already,

with Johnny Faust and

Leo Donovan doing onstage cameos

with some of the opening acts.

The entire weekend has

sold out in advance,

with fans from all over

the world having traveled here

to see Lily Mayflower's last

performance with The Relentless.

I think we'll be seeing

much more from this epic fest

for years to come.



-He said he loved me

I guess I never knew

What do we ever

ever really know? ♪

He said he'd meet me

On the other side

But I knew right then

I'd never find him ♪

I don't believe in love

I just pretend

he never was real ♪

I don't believe in love

I need to forget

his face ♪

I see it still

I don't believe in love

It's never worth the pain

You feel

The pain

That you feel

[cheering]

[chanting]

-That's a big crowd.

-All right, boys, we are

officially sold the f*ck out.

In fact, we've broken local

attendance records tonight.

No significant injuries,

no deaths.

I'd say we're doing all right.

-Wow, just thank you

so much, Maya,

for making this a reality.

We know it wasn't easy.

-Everybody played

their positions.

This was a team effort.

-Yeah, that includes Lily.

-Let's do the damn thing,

shall we?

-All right, hold on.

This is a chance to do

something really great.

To really make a mark

and something you guys

will never forget.

So do it for yourselves, and

Lily, thank you.

-All right, guys,

come on, let's go.

-Let's go, come on, guys.

-Let's do it.

-Where's Dylan?

Where's Dylan?

-Dylan.

-Dylan, Dylan!

Hey, you're supposed

to be drumming.

-Let's go.

[screams]

[cheering]

Thank you.

I see so much struggle.

Red versus blue.

So many partnerships and

businesses and friendships

are destroyed by

our lust for control.

I believe it is possible

to still have desire

and to be passionate about

the things you believe in

without destroying others.

-I'm sorry about

the way I

you know.

Yelled at you

about calling Oliver.

I should have handled that

totally differently.

-It's okay, sweetheart.

We're here, now, together.

That's all that matters.

-Yeah, I know, I know.

-Aw.

-Love you.

-Love you, too.

I love you so much.

I'm proud of you.

This song goes out

to everybody in this band,

everybody on this stage,

for everything that

I've put them through,

it's called "Lost in Control",

and it goes like this.

So I'll just let it go

I've lost my interest

in control ♪

Now only can I really know

Live on,

but I'll miss you so ♪

What I took for myself

I give it to

everyone else ♪

Spread it all around

it can't be found ♪

Isn't this what

dreams are made of? ♪

Well, it's mine

They don't

pay for it anymore ♪

Anymore

I will never be released

to find the Lord.

I will never find peace

in a place of w*r.

So I'll just let it go

I've lost my interest

in control ♪

Now only can I really know

Live on,

but I'll miss you so ♪

I'm sorry that I wanted

a lie all along ♪

I'm sorry that I think

something's wrong ♪

And I forgive you

for pushing me away ♪

And I forgive you for

going on your way ♪

The one thing

I'm not sorry for ♪

Is singing this song

to you ♪

Goodbye.

So I'll just let it go

I've lost my interest

Now only can I really know

Live on,

[cheering]

-Hey, see you guys

at the after party, okay?

-Oh.

-Oh.

-See you in a little bit.

-Dude, what?

-This is insane.

-Are you serious?

-Bro

-No, you're getting in.

You're getting in,

you're with me, bro. [laughing]

-And the Devils may have

a chance to tie it up here.

Number seven oh!

What a save by the keeper.

Unicorns regain control,

and they send the ball back

[cheering]

-Mr. Mojo Rising.

-What's that?

-Mojo, its a noun.

A magic spell, hex. Charm.

-Okay.

-Oh

Mr. Faust, we know who you are.

You broke all the town's

records tonight.

-Um can I check in?

-Yes, yes. We have you on

the penthouse floor.

Suite BB, for bad boy.

-You had all the alcohol

removed from the room, right?

-Oh, now, don't let them

destroy our casual choice.

-Excuse me?

-Yes, the room is dry,

like the moon.

-Thanks.

-Pleasure.

-Hello.

-Oh, sh*t, I'm sorry.

It's hot as sh*t in here.

[giggles]

-I like it like that.

Where are you going?

-To my room.

-Boo.

-Come on, Johnny.

Just hang out for

a while and watch.

-Let's reminisce on old times.

Plus I know you can't

go to sleep sober

without getting off.

No one's touching you,

what's the big deal?

-That's what the

internet's for.

Besides, I hear this place

has great Wi-Fi.

-So you'd rather watch

on your laptop

instead of here now,

in person?

As long as you don't touch,

it's not cheating.

Relax, dude.

Plus, Johnny, it was our

last time ever performing

in a band together,

in a show,

and we k*lled it.

-But

-So then what better way

to end something

so expl*sive than

with a bang?

Plus, I did everything

you asked me to.

-I know, Lily, and

I appreciate that, but

-So just appreciate this

for what it is and relax.

-No, I can't.

I'm sorry girls, I gotta go.

-Come on, Johnny.

-Johnny

We're all adults here,

right, ladies?

-That's right.

-We got off by

watching you,

you get off by watching us.

Nobody touches each other.

And you get to enjoy our last

unforgettable moments together.

Plus, if you're really

so worried

Protection.

No skin on skin contact.

Nobody ever finds out.

It's all for you, Johnny.

-My friend's mom

is directing it.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-See, now they're going

to the woman director.

-Exactly.

-Hey.

-Hey.

-Thank you so much for

having us.

-Right on, man.

I'd like you guys to meet

a very special someone.

This is Simon,

he's been responsible

for all the street marketing

for the festival,

plus he helped curate some

of the buzzy regional acts

on the second stage.

-No sh*t, huh?

Very nicely done, young man.

Very nice to meet you.

-Yeah, you as well.

Nice to meet you.

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

-She just keeps talking

about you, non-stop.

-That's awesome.

-Very unusual.

-This is Amanda, she was pivotal

in all this stuff, as well.

-Hi.

-Haven't heard about you.

-It's so nice to meet you.

-Amanda?

-Yeah.

-Hi, I'm Maya.

-And who's this lovely lady?

-Uh, this is Natalie,

the wonderful woman

responsible for bringing

this superstar into the world.

-This is your mother?

-Yeah.

-I'm going to go grab Vic

and Leo, you guys talk.

-Pleasure.

-ANNOUNCER: And the Devils

are driving down the field.

Looking to score, and,

oh, h*, h*.

The Unicorns

break up the play.

What a save!

-What?

That was a clean tackle.

Are you kidding me?

Damn it, come on.

You're going to ruin the most

important game of the whole year

with a BS call.

Really?

-I admire your passion

for this sport,

but not your reckless behavior.

Is your last name Faust?

-Excuse me?

-Those deals with the demons

will always be chasing you.

I am what you

think I am.

You can save him, but first

you've got to save yourself.

The pain you're about

to experience,

it's not your fault.

Be strong.

'Cause you, too, Gretchen,

are an angel

amidst a sea of darkness.

I've never known a girl

like you before ♪

Just like in a song

from days of yore ♪

Here you come

knock knocking on my door ♪

I've never met a girl

like you before ♪

You give me just a taste

so I want more ♪

-ANNOUNCER: The Devils set up

for the free kick.

There can't be much time

left in this game, folks.

Now, if they score here,

the Devils could be

our champions.

It all comes down to this.

[whistle blows]

And the kick is blocked!

[whistle blows]

And there's the

final whistle of the game.

-Woo! Oh my God!

You did it!

-ANNOUNCER: The Unicorns

are your champions!

Now my hands are bleeding

and my knees are raw ♪

You got me crawling,

crawling, on the floor ♪

I've never known a girl

like you before ♪

You made me acknowledge

the devil in me ♪

I hope to God

I'm talking metaphorically ♪

Hope that

I'm talking allegorically ♪

Know that I'm talking

about the way I feel ♪

I've never known

a girl like you before ♪

Never

Never, never, never, never

I've never known a girl

like you before ♪

[voicemail beeps]

-Lily, Jade, what the f*ck?

I thought we were

partying tonight.

-Hey.

I'm not done with you.

Hey.

f*ck.

Fine. f*ck it.

I'm a one man band.

I'll party alone.

-Hey, you know what?

Let me get your number.

You seem like you got

your finger on the pulse.

You know, guys like us,

we need a guy like you

with his ear to the ground.

-For real?

-Oh, yeah. For real.

You know how many big

acts were discovered

by some executive's

assistant or intern?

-It's true, hate to admit it.

[chuckles]

-Simon, right?

-Yeah, Simon.

-What's your last name?

-Um

-Say it with pride, baby.

-Okay, Mom, that's fine.

-Forget your last name?

-He's a one name act.

Like Cher.

-Um

It's, uh Ostergaard.

-Ostergaard,

that's not a common name.

-Um

-I've known one.

Sort of an ex-partner of mine.

-Oliver is Simon's dad.

-Oliver Ostergard?

My ex-partner?

I love your pain

I love your fear

-Don't worry, I'll flush it.

Now show your hands

I'm far from here

Oh, for salad days

-f*ck.

I need a lighter.

-Oh! Huh.

Fancy seeing you here.

Though it is a marvelous

night for a moondance.

Uh-oh.

Did you have a touch too much?

I think you got

the wrong key.

-Get the f*ck away from me.

-Jeez.

History repeats

in the bed sheets.

-What?

-Ladies, is he

always that rude?

-I'm sorry, what the f*ck

did you just say?

-Hot coffee?

Hmm.

Anyway, I just came

to tell you that

they're waiting for you

in the ballroom.

Supper's getting cold.

-Hey, guys.

This is the kid

I wanted you to meet.

Huge Relentless fan,

and that is an understatement

considering

all the passion he put behind

promoting our festival.

-Mate, it's nice to

finally meet you, man.

Thank you so much for

your hard work. You're a legend.

-No, dude, you're

a legend.

-Seriously, thank you

so much, man.

-Hey, Adam, you gonna

hire this kid

to keep us all

relevant, or what?

-Yeah, I'm working on it.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa,

take it easy.

I found him first, f*ck.

Uh-uh.

And besides, I think he's

more into booking than managing.

-Oh, no, no, you have no

idea how far a son

of Oliver Ostergaard might go.

Right?

-That's right.

-Does he know you're here?

-Um

Probably not.

-Probably not.

-Does anybody need a drink?

-Well, I would love

another martini.

-Natalie, that's enough.

-And get this little brat

a beer while you're at it.

-Hey, Adam, have you

seen Johnny?

-He hasn't come down yet.

-No?

[phone ringing]

-Jade.

-Hey, Oliver.

-How are you?

-On our way to

meet up with the g*ng.

-Can you do me

a little favor?

Send me a video

from the aftershow.

I'm curious

who's at the gathering.

-Sure.

I'll sneak some video.

-Ah, thank you.

-Mmm, yup.

I could use a drink.

[screams]

-Are you okay?

What's going on?

-Hey, Coach Faust.

I'm sorry for walking

up on you like this,

but I really need to talk

to you for a couple minutes.

There's something you

really need to know.

I'm Lizzy Thomas.

-It's Coach Ruth, by the way.

-Oh, I'm sorry, darling.

Not quite a Faust yet,

I take it.

Just a matter of time, though.

Ain't that just the way in life?

It's all just

a matter of time, pretty much.

-I'm sorry, how

can we help you?

-Oh my God, girl,

let me count the ways.

[groans]

-Gretch, are you okay?

-No, I don't think so.

I gotta go.

-Oh my God, Gretch?

I'm so sorry, excuse me.

-Dropped her hat.

You dropped your hat.

-So oh, Jesus.

[mumbles]

Nope, no.

Sorry.

-Simon has idolized Johnny

since I don't know.

As far back as

I can remember,

and it would be amazing

if we could just

get them in a photo together.

-Who's Simon?

[laughs]

-Anything you want.

Anything.

-Pauly just keeps calling

me over and over again.

I feel bad.

-Oh, yeah.

He called me, too.

I know.

-I mean, I can call him.

Put me to work,

I'll call him right now.

-Told you he's

a good little worker.

I'm taking your son.

[chuckles]

-You can borrow him.

You may not take him.

-Exactly, look out

for this one.

-I'm taking you, too.

-So the best song on this

new Relentless record's

got you singing all over it

and you ain't even in

the f*cking band anymore.

Well played, Lily.

-I'm guessing you haven't

sent it to Adam and Elias yet.

-Oh, I thought we should wait

'til this whole celebration

is over before

that happens.

-They're going to have to work

out my contract with Oliver.

The ink is dry.

-Tortured artists make

the best songs.

-Mmm, very, very dry.

-Tortured suits making deals

is a whole different story.

-You know I was

born into chaos,

but I'm not here

to make w*r.

I'm just going to keep

creating what I want,

and the only person that can

really take that away is myself.

And anyone else that

can try

can really just burn.

-You sound like

a real maestro.

Respect.

-Thanks.

[groans]

[phone rings]

-Hey, it's Johnny.

You know what to do.

-Johnny, I need you to call me.

Something is seriously wrong.

I Ah!

-Not like anyone gives a f*ck

about me, anyways.

Ain't that the f*cking truth?

You make your move

You get comfortable

Sit back, relax

You create a fire

And when we fall asleep

Speak

[chattering]

-Oh, hey.

Where you been?

-The, uh

-You've been missing

all the fun.

This is Natalie.

-Very nice to meet you.

-Yeah, I'd like to introduce

you to her son.

-Simon.

-Hey, man, it's so f*cking

awesome to meet you.

-Likewise, bud.

-Ah!

[cries]

When it slows you down

Imagine where we start

Imagine where we start

-Hey, come on, get a

photo with your phone.

-That's a good idea.

-Everybody.

Everybody.

-Excuse me, sorry.

-Do you mind taking a photo

of the group with my phone?

-Oh. I have the real thing.

Do you know

where you are?

-I'm in the jungle, baby.

But I ain't dying,

I'm living.

-And you can have anything

that you want.

Including a picture.

-Thanks.

-All right, everybody?

-All right, you b*stards,

take a look around,

see which way the wind blows

and all huddle in together.

Aw, let's change that mood

from sad to gladness.

Smile, it's good for the soul.
