00:01:45You might want to send a little peace and love out to Jet James,
00:01:48a great guitarist who played at Woodstock.
00:01:50Jet's in the hospital, and he's pretty sick.
00:01:53Hey, Jet, we love you, man.
00:01:55Here's another classic from Jet James
00:01:57and his Burning Prairie band, Jesse.
00:02:20Hey.
00:02:39Door's open. Don't let the cat out. Great.
00:02:45Tina. Tina!
00:02:47Shit.
00:02:51Jet James, nearby peoples, leave a message.
00:02:56Mr. James, I'm still leaving you messages after 15 days and nights.
00:03:00I'm not going away.
00:03:02I'd ring you up in the infernal regions of hell to get payment.
00:03:05Write us a check or say au revoir to your Mustang.
00:03:08Contact Robert Brent at pay now, 555-9674.
00:03:12I let the cat out.
00:03:14Oh, shit.
00:03:16Nanny, give me a heart attack.
00:03:18Come here.
00:03:22My Jesse.
00:03:24Last time I looked into those beautiful eyes
00:03:26was three, four years ago.
00:03:30Christmas.
00:03:32Try bail.
00:03:34My favorite holiday.
00:03:36I'm sorry the place is in a mess,
00:03:38but I've been up half the night trying to...
00:03:42Trying to what?
00:03:45Trying to hide your daddy's Mustang.
00:03:49I'm real glad to see you, Jesse.
00:03:52I'll put you in Jet's room.
00:03:54Great.
00:03:56Thing's been tight.
00:03:58Obviously.
00:04:00So what's with all the new equipment downstairs?
00:04:02I bought it all on credit.
00:04:04Uh-huh.
00:04:06So what, is that why the garage sale? Pay for it?
00:04:08Uh-huh.
00:04:11You know what your daddy always said about money?
00:04:16Um...
00:04:18As long as there's enough to buy flowers for a pretty lady.
00:04:29I know this might be difficult for you,
00:04:32the way your daddy lived.
00:04:34He ain't gonna want to play this sad and slow.
00:04:36I know.
00:04:38So we gotta put a smile back on that pretty face of yours,
00:04:41because that's what he's gonna want to see.
00:04:43Well, that's what I'm gonna give him.
00:04:48I figured we'd drive over in the morning,
00:04:50told him you're coming,
00:04:52look forward to seeing you.
00:04:54I bet.
00:04:56Your daddy, he may be one hard-ass son of a bitch,
00:05:01but if we don't find that cat,
00:05:03it's gonna break his heart.
00:05:08Come on.
00:05:28Do you know anything about cars?
00:05:30Supposed to start on me.
00:05:33Yeah.
00:05:39On the back.
00:05:41The bane of your indebted existence.
00:05:43Save yourself from the wrath of pay now.
00:05:46Call Robert Moritz at 555...
00:05:48Hello? Hello? Mr. Moritz?
00:05:50Yes, hello. Uh, this is Jessica James.
00:05:53How are you today? Great. Okay.
00:05:55You know that what you're doing constitutes harassment.
00:05:57Yes, if Mr. James receives so much as one more call from you,
00:06:00the sole goal of my existence is gonna be to make your life a living nightmare.
00:06:03Do I make myself clear, Mr. Moritz?
00:06:05You've dialed hell.
00:06:07I'm gonna become your own personal plague.
00:06:09Have a nice day.
00:06:11I've got contact.
00:06:13Hey, congrats, Bob. You've been working that deadbeat for weeks.
00:06:16I just got an articulate threat.
00:06:19Why can't I ever get an articulate threat?
00:06:21I've been called a bimbo, a dyke, a slut,
00:06:24and it's not even ten yet.
00:06:26Some thought went into this one.
00:06:28There's a biblical touch. A plague.
00:06:30I like it.
00:06:32No kidding. You got God on the phone, and he owes money.
00:06:35I'm dialing. Pay now.
00:06:37Oh, hi.
00:06:39I promised your daddy.
00:06:41Nehemiah, the only pot they allow in the hospital
00:06:44is the one that goes under your ass.
00:06:47You get that? Yes.
00:06:51Pay close attention to romantic Moritz.
00:06:53You will learn from him. Observe.
00:06:55Will you accept my apologies, Mrs. James?
00:06:58I've only been on this job a couple of days,
00:07:00and obviously I'm not that good.
00:07:02Mrs. James,
00:07:04everybody in the country's going through the same tough time
00:07:06that you and Mr. James are going through,
00:07:08but they still manage to pay their bills.
00:07:10Excuse me.
00:07:12Help me understand.
00:07:14How does someone not pay their bills?
00:07:16My father, God bless him,
00:07:18held down three jobs just to meet his financial responsibilities.
00:07:21Why? Because he had pride.
00:07:23Are you the R. Moritz who resides at 2756 Oak Hill?
00:07:30You looked my name up in the phone book.
00:07:32Very clever.
00:07:34So what is that, like an apartment building or what?
00:07:36Yes, a very secure one, Mrs. James,
00:07:38if that's where you're going with this.
00:07:40But you do have mailboxes out front, don't you?
00:07:42What's this about? Squirt me.
00:07:48Look, I'm willing to work with both of you
00:07:50on resolving your debts.
00:07:52Do you have any job skills at all, Mrs. James?
00:07:54Oh, yes, I do.
00:07:56In fact, I'm a snake wrangler.
00:07:58Yeah, you know the scene in Raiders,
00:08:00The Lost Ark, Harrison Ford, Den of Snakes?
00:08:02Those are my clients.
00:08:04I've been out of work lately, though.
00:08:06A little uptight, a little restless.
00:08:08Have you ever seen someone die of a snake bite, Mr. Moritz?
00:08:11Moritz, that's a funny name.
00:08:13Rhymes with shits. Yeah.
00:08:15You must have gotten teased a lot as a kid, huh?
00:08:17I bet that was really rough for it.
00:08:19Moritz rhymes with sh... Hello?
00:08:24Explain, romantic.
00:08:26Always make the debtor call you back.
00:08:28She just gave me a lovely kiss my ass,
00:08:31and I have succeeded in establishing a relationship.
00:08:33A kiss my ass at this point?
00:08:35That's very encouraging.
00:08:37Give us a little more of that famous voice, romantic.
00:08:39Show us how you stick it to the deadbeats.
00:08:44It breaks my heart to say this,
00:08:46but your irresponsibility disgusts me.
00:08:48You're a pathetic waste as a human being,
00:08:50a bum and a loser.
00:08:52Shame on you.
00:08:54Beautiful. That is great stuff.
00:08:56Listen up, everybody.
00:08:58Get back on the phones, or I will shut down the restroom.
00:09:02The snake lady hasn't called.
00:09:04Hey, I got a call back.
00:09:07I'm up for a corpse next week in Scream 4.
00:09:09Actually, I'm alive long enough to scream,
00:09:11which counts as a line at SAG.
00:09:13I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks.
00:09:15Did you hear from that Swinburne guy?
00:09:17Swinburne? No, I didn't.
00:09:19He's a deceased poet.
00:09:21I'm still waiting on hearing from the Swinburne committee.
00:09:23I mean, they're still alive.
00:09:25You think my name rhymes with shits?
00:09:27Well, yes.
00:09:29The snake woman said that?
00:09:31She knows something about poetry.
00:09:33I mean, she rhymed Moritz.
00:09:35Robbie, she's not writing you a poem.
00:09:37She's calling you a...
00:09:39I think the snake charmer just bit you.
00:09:46My God. Somebody's lost.
00:09:49Here for the yard sale.
00:09:51Right.
00:09:55You got all the cool stuff.
00:09:57You boys feel free to browse around.
00:09:59We've got some genuine antique furniture.
00:10:02Check it out.
00:10:04Real funky clothes from the 60s.
00:10:06It's all got to go.
00:10:08Mr. James, we really just wanted to see where you live.
00:10:11Mr. James?
00:10:13You've got the wrong music icon.
00:10:15I'm Nehemiah Peebles.
00:10:17He's the bass player.
00:10:19You're the bass player?
00:10:21On your first album cover,
00:10:23you're the one standing there
00:10:25holding up the train with that gun, right?
00:10:27There's a flower sticking out of that gun, son.
00:10:29Peace and love generation.
00:10:31Yeah, well, you feel free.
00:10:33Um...
00:10:35I'm Eddie McDermott.
00:10:37Hi, Eddie. This is Phil.
00:10:39Hi.
00:10:41Hey, Jesse. Hey.
00:10:43So, uh, what do you boys do?
00:10:45Um...
00:10:47They're one of the hottest bands in the country.
00:10:49Primal Urge?
00:10:51Um, yeah, we're down from San Francisco.
00:10:53We're here for the music awards.
00:10:55We're up for one.
00:10:57Um, is Mr. James home?
00:10:59No, he ain't.
00:11:01We're on our way to see him now.
00:11:03We're waiting for a cab.
00:11:05We could give you a ride. We have a limousine.
00:11:07No.
00:11:09It has a television in it.
00:11:11Really, it would be an honor.
00:11:13Fully equipped.
00:11:15Come on.
00:11:17Yeah. Come on.
00:11:21Ha!
00:11:23Where should I tell the driver to go?
00:11:25County General Hospital.
00:11:27But the hospital, is he okay?
00:11:29No.
00:11:31Are you the Jesse in the song?
00:11:33Um, yeah, when I was nine.
00:11:37I thought it was about somebody older.
00:11:41I was somebody older.
00:11:43Hey, I need you out on the street with Eric.
00:11:45Your deadbeat charged three grand
00:11:47restoring that old Mustang we're after.
00:11:49Don't send me out with Eric the Red.
00:11:51The kid is out of control.
00:11:53Yeah, he belongs in a nut house.
00:11:55But he's the best repo man in L.A.
00:12:01Um, Mike?
00:12:03Is that a gun?
00:12:05Yeah. You have to sit. He's pissed off.
00:12:07Anybody could walk in here with a weapon.
00:12:09Hey, hey, hey, look at this.
00:12:11Huh?
00:12:13That ought to boost your esprit de corps around here.
00:12:15Come on, try it on. No.
00:12:17Come on! Put it on! It's only gonna cost each of you $39.95.
00:12:19Oh, yes.
00:12:21Oh, that looks good on you, my friend.
00:12:25You go get that Mustang.
00:12:27Now.
00:12:29Go ahead. Eric's waiting for you in the truck.
00:12:31Oh, my God.
00:12:39Dittler's got a gun.
00:12:41I better start dating him again.
00:12:43What?
00:12:45What are you wearing?
00:12:47A target.
00:12:51Dr. Richard Mann, 6532.
00:12:53Dr. Richard Mann, 6532.
00:12:55This has been a long time.
00:12:57Now, don't you worry your little head.
00:12:59It's gonna be so pleased to see you.
00:13:01But if you ask about Tina,
00:13:03we better lie.
00:13:05I don't want to lie. You lie.
00:13:07I'm just gonna try to smile.
00:13:09You ready?
00:13:25I'm okay.
00:13:41Why is he tied up like that?
00:13:43Well, Mr. James got out of bed last night
00:13:45and didn't ask for help. He fell.
00:13:47Yeah, I, um...
00:13:49I appreciate your concern, and I'll tell him,
00:13:51you know, that he should ask.
00:13:53But, um, I don't want to ever see him
00:13:55tied up like this again. Understand?
00:13:57Do you want to speak to the doctor?
00:13:59Yes.
00:14:01Can I put those in some water for you?
00:14:05Okay.
00:14:15Hey.
00:14:17Jethro.
00:14:19Somebody special come to see you.
00:14:23Oh.
00:14:25Hey.
00:14:31What's cooking, good-looking?
00:14:33I guess
00:14:35I came down.
00:14:37Came down for the main event?
00:14:39No.
00:14:41See, I knew
00:14:43my... I'm still a draw.
00:14:47So,

00:14:53Buster and
00:14:55disgusted.
00:14:57Misunderstood.
00:14:59Now whine.
00:15:01Jethro.
00:15:03She left me for another.
00:15:05I gotta
00:15:07take that as a sign.
00:15:11Never trust a pretty woman.
00:15:13She'll spend your money.
00:15:15Waste your time.
00:15:17Pray
00:15:19if I could die,
00:15:21call her.
00:15:23Tell that no good woman
00:15:25her heart's still mine.
00:15:29Old Indian told me once I had a healing gift.
00:15:31Uh-huh.
00:15:33He told you wrong.
00:15:35How's Tina?
00:15:37Good.
00:15:39Oh, uh,
00:15:41you ain't taken real good care of it yet.
00:15:43How you doing?
00:15:45I'm okay.
00:15:47You drive down?
00:15:49Mm-hmm.
00:15:51Oh, my car broke down.
00:15:53Yeah,
00:15:55we got a ride here from, uh,
00:15:57these two guys, um,
00:15:59Eddie McDermott, Phil Roman.
00:16:01Do you know their band, Primal Urge?
00:16:03Um...
00:16:05No? They're good guys.
00:16:07They're big fans.
00:16:09Came all the way down here to see you,
00:16:11so that shows you.
00:16:13Shows me what?
00:16:15You got the front done, but not forgotten.
00:16:17No, I didn't mean that.
00:16:19Okay, you're gonna sleep
00:16:21for a few hours.
00:16:23Oh, yeah? Yeah.
00:16:25Am I gonna wake up?
00:16:27If you don't, I'll sue you for breach of promise.
00:16:31You know, I'm only marrying you
00:16:33because you're so good in bed.
00:16:41Yeah.
00:16:45I don't think I have to tell you
00:16:47what's going on in my head.
00:16:51He's gotta sleep right now.
00:16:55Oh.
00:16:57Okay.
00:16:59See you, old buddy.
00:17:09Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?
00:17:11Ha-ha-ha.
00:17:13You know, I thought
00:17:15he looked a little better today.
00:17:17Really? Yeah.
00:17:19Yeah.
00:17:25This limo got a bar?
00:17:27We're more heavy into juices.
00:17:29I'm more heavy into juiced.
00:17:31Uh, Nehemiah,
00:17:33Phil and I
00:17:35would like to record the song
00:17:37Jessie for our next album,
00:17:39provided that Mr. James
00:17:41agrees that it's okay.
00:17:43I think he would like that.
00:17:45Yeah?
00:17:47Hey, what about that song I wrote
00:17:49back in 68?
00:17:51Broke, busted and disgusted.
00:17:53Broke, busted and disgusted.
00:17:55Isn't really
00:17:57where we're going with our music right now.
00:17:59We just want to do a song about a beautiful woman.
00:18:01Well, how the hell do you think
00:18:03I got broke, busted and disgusted
00:18:05in the first place, boys?
00:18:07It's always about a pretty woman.
00:18:09I'll tell him. I'll tell Jet.
00:18:21I don't believe
00:18:23I'm going to hide my own father's car.
00:18:25It's parked behind our farms.
00:18:27Just take it over to Winston's.
00:18:29Keep the party going,
00:18:31boys.
00:18:35Who was that?
00:18:37Couple of guys in the band, Walter.
00:18:39Annie McDermott
00:18:41and Phil Roman.
00:18:43You had primal allergies in your yard?
00:18:45I didn't get to get their autographs.
00:18:47Not to worry.
00:18:49Walter, they'll be back later.
00:18:51Gonna hide Jet's car.
00:18:53Where's Jet?
00:18:55Well, I'm afraid he ain't doing too good.
00:18:57He's, uh...
00:18:59Had to go to the hospital.
00:19:01I gotta be doing his lesson today.
00:19:03So how many you had so far?
00:19:05Five.
00:19:07Well, let me hear how far you got.
00:19:09♪
00:19:11♪
00:19:13♪
00:19:15♪
00:19:17♪
00:19:19♪
00:19:21♪
00:19:23♪
00:19:25♪
00:19:27♪
00:19:29♪
00:19:31♪
00:19:33Repos make you nervous, don't they?
00:19:35I'm a phone man.
00:19:37Hey, dude.
00:19:39Repos! Life on the edge.
00:19:41The only way to live, man.
00:19:43Screw that shit!
00:19:45Yeah, Mike's so friggin' generous, man.
00:19:47He's a saint, bro.
00:19:49I mean, he hooks us up with these badass jackets, right?
00:19:51That's why I gave him that deal on that piece he's backing.
00:19:53You sold Mike the gun?
00:19:55I just don't think it's a good idea
00:19:57for Mike Ditlow to own a gun, Eric.
00:19:59Why the hell not, dude?
00:20:01There's so much heartache
00:20:03and romantic unfulfillment in L.A.
00:20:05We're all gonna end up killing each other
00:20:07over failed relationships.
00:20:09Oh, nice tits!
00:20:11And unrequited love.
00:20:13See those chi-chis?
00:20:17Here's our stand.
00:20:19Break and take time, Bobby boy.
00:20:21Today you become a man.
00:20:25All right, I'll go easy on you.
00:20:27Let you off this one.
00:20:29Why don't you, uh, grab us some chink food, all right?
00:20:31I'll have the Mugugai pan.
00:20:33Tough old man, huh?
00:20:35But you're a lot more sensitive than you let on.
00:20:57Bye.
00:20:59Bye, Jessie. Take care.
00:21:03Can I help you?
00:21:05Yes, I'll have one order of Mugugai pan
00:21:07and Kung Pao chicken.
00:21:09Oh, and
00:21:11throw in a whole bunch of
00:21:13extra fortune cookies.
00:21:15I have an important life decision to make.
00:21:17Big banker last night.
00:21:19I only got one fortune cookie left.
00:21:21You want?
00:21:23One fortune cookie left?
00:21:25Yes, I want.
00:21:27This is one that counts, probably.
00:21:34You crushed it.
00:21:36Was it a bug? Bug?
00:21:38We got no bug.
00:21:40Oh, sorry. No bug.
00:21:42Just my luck.
00:21:51Do I know you?
00:21:55The eyes are the scalp of the heart.
00:21:59What?
00:22:01Nothing.
00:22:03You just stepped on my destiny.
00:22:05My fortune cookie.
00:22:07Oh, wow.
00:22:09You should be more careful with your destiny, huh?
00:22:15Where's the back of Afong's?
00:22:17In the back.
00:22:19Thanks.
00:22:21We clean. No bug.
00:22:23Hey.
00:22:25Hey, come on. Do you hear me?
00:22:27Hi.
00:22:29Oh.
00:22:31My car is, um,
00:22:33being stolen.
00:22:35Sleep on it.
00:22:39Hey!
00:22:41Oh, my God.
00:22:43Oh, my God.
00:22:45Are you okay?
00:22:47Do me a favor.
00:22:49Check and see if he's dead.
00:22:51Ah.
00:22:53He's okay.
00:22:55Wow.
00:22:59I don't, uh, know your name.
00:23:01Bobby.
00:23:03You must be Jessie.
00:23:05How do you know that?
00:23:07I don't know.
00:23:09I don't know you.
00:23:11I don't know you.
00:23:13I don't know you.
00:23:15I don't know you.
00:23:17I don't know you.
00:23:19I don't know you.
00:23:21How do you know that?
00:23:23You have a license plate.
00:23:25I forgot he did that.
00:23:27It's my father's car.
00:23:29You're not married?
00:23:31No. Should I be?
00:23:33No. I mean, yes, definitely.
00:23:35Someday there's someone.
00:23:37I gotta go.
00:23:39I can follow you. Make sure you get home.
00:23:41You've been through a traumatic experience.
00:23:43No, no, no, no.
00:23:45I'd feel much better about it.
00:23:47Okay.
00:23:50Well, do you think it's okay
00:23:52Just to meet him there?
00:23:54I'll leave a note.
00:23:56A note?
00:23:58Tell him to clear out of town.
00:24:02Okay.
00:24:29Follow me?
00:24:31Sure.
00:24:49Beneath her sheltering hair
00:24:52And the warm silence near her breast
00:24:55Our kisses and our sobs
00:24:57Shall sink to rest?
00:25:00Dude, you've been on the phone too long!
00:25:03Ow.
00:25:15Um...
00:25:17I might need a ride.
00:25:19No problem.
00:25:21Okay. Thanks.
00:25:27Hello?
00:25:29Hello?
00:25:31Jessie?
00:25:33Is that you, child?
00:25:35Hi.
00:25:37I'm Winston.
00:25:39Nehemiah told me. I'm real sorry.
00:25:41I go way back with Jet.
00:25:43Played drums in the band before you were born.
00:25:45Nice to meet you.
00:25:48When Sandy was pregnant with you,
00:25:50Jet broke the sound barrier in that car
00:25:52Getting to the hospital in time.
00:25:54You never told me that.
00:25:56You was the only baby I knew
00:25:58That came into this world
00:26:00With three cop cars chasing your butt.
00:26:02Jet used to call that
00:26:04An official escort from the rear.
00:26:09I'll drive you home.
00:26:11Oh, thanks. I got somebody.
00:26:13I got, um, Bobby here.
00:26:16It's good you found someone, Jessie.
00:26:18Someone who likes kids.
00:26:20Oh, no, no, no.
00:26:22We're not, uh...
00:26:24Well, you and both want to wait.
00:26:26Yeah. Right.
00:26:28I want to wait.
00:26:30I don't know what he wants to do.
00:26:32You got time.
00:26:34Well, thank you.
00:26:36You tell Jet
00:26:38No one's gonna take his car away.
00:26:41Tell him goodbye from Winston.
00:26:43Tell him I love him.
00:26:47So, that wasn't my house.
00:26:51So where do you live?
00:26:53San Francisco.
00:26:55Oh. We're driving to San Francisco.
00:26:58No. Um...
00:27:00Silver Lake will do for today.
00:27:02I, um...
00:27:04I'm staying with my dad. I had to hide that car for him.
00:27:08There is a collection agent
00:27:10who's been tormenting him for weeks.
00:27:12He's relentless.
00:27:14That's not nice.
00:27:16No, it's not nice. It's awful.
00:27:18How about lunch? I got Chinese.
00:27:20Oh. Yeah.
00:27:22You don't mind, uh, dining at Shea Truck?
00:27:28Oh, my God. They didn't put anything in here.
00:27:30They forgot the chopsticks.
00:27:32Ah, it's okay. Finger food.
00:27:34Really?
00:27:36Oh, oh.
00:27:38Let me help you if you're that hungry.
00:27:43Ready? Yeah.
00:27:49What?
00:27:55Well, no fortune cookies either.
00:27:58Who stepped on the last one?
00:28:00Oh, yeah. What did that say?
00:28:02Anyway.
00:28:06Oh. All right.
00:28:08Don't tell me.
00:28:10I don't believe in fate.
00:28:26Well, thank you very much.
00:28:28Hmm.
00:28:30I hate this part
00:28:32when I ask if I can see you again
00:28:34and you say no.
00:28:36Yeah, well, uh...
00:28:40Do you want to have dinner?
00:28:42Yes. Yeah?
00:28:44Because I'm a cook, and I was going to cook.
00:28:46It just helps me relax, and...
00:28:48Okay.
00:28:50Um, tonight?
00:28:52I have one green shirt left.
00:28:54Oh, you do? Well, that's good,
00:28:56because I got forks.
00:28:58Okay. Well, great.
00:29:00I got it. I got it. I got it.
00:29:02Thanks. Thanks.
00:29:08So, um, 7?
00:29:10Sure.
00:29:12Yeah?
00:29:14Bye.
00:29:22Hi, Jessie. Hi, Phil.
00:29:24Some guys from a collection agency came.
00:29:26They were very big.
00:29:28They took your father's things.
00:29:30They took his guitar. Oh, no.
00:29:32Yes. Where's Nehemiah?
00:29:34He's in the limousine.
00:29:36Edward's in the house.
00:29:38He's taken over Walter's guitar lesson.
00:29:40Okay. All right. Come on.
00:29:42Now, I tried to stop these fellows.
00:29:44They were very big men. It's okay, Phil.
00:29:46I don't believe in physical violence.
00:29:48Rough day?
00:29:50I'm sorry, Jessie.
00:29:52Couldn't keep the Repo Boys
00:29:54out of Jitsau.
00:29:56Aah!
00:30:00Aah!
00:30:10Aah!
00:30:12Hey.
00:30:14I heard you about two blocks away.
00:30:16You nailed the part of the screamer.
00:30:18Oh, well, that's getting there.
00:30:20I got a date with the snake charmer.
00:30:22You had your moment
00:30:24with Moritz Rheims with Scheisse?
00:30:26Hey, the moment doesn't deal
00:30:28with personalities.
00:30:30I read the poets.
00:30:32But until I saw her,
00:30:34I never felt their words.
00:30:36I mean, Byron knew
00:30:38what he was talking about.
00:30:40I mean, she
00:30:42walks in beauty
00:30:44like the night of
00:30:46cloudless climes and starry skies.
00:30:48And all that's dust
00:30:50of dark and bright
00:30:52meet in her aspect
00:30:54and her eyes.
00:30:56So does Snake Charmer
00:30:58know you're a phone man?
00:31:00Well, I wanted to quit first and then tell her.
00:31:02Uh-huh.
00:31:04Today's my last day.
00:31:06Um, so then I met Winston.
00:31:08He says to say hi.
00:31:10And he was telling me all about the Mustang,
00:31:12about how you were speeding to the hospital
00:31:14when I was being born.
00:31:16Yeah.
00:31:18It was a new car then.
00:31:20It's a classic now, you know.
00:31:22Yeah.
00:31:24All it took was, uh...
00:31:26a little time.
00:31:28Hmm.
00:31:30Can you remember much about Sandy?
00:31:32Hmm.
00:31:34I remember
00:31:36long earrings
00:31:38and she smelled good.
00:31:40She smelled like fresh air.
00:31:42Hey, your mama was a wild one.
00:31:50Oh, look what I found.
00:31:55Where'd you find that?
00:31:57Hmm-hmm.
00:31:59I thought it was lost.
00:32:01Oh, no, Dad.
00:32:03No, it's not lost.
00:32:05Did you show Tina?
00:32:07Uh, no.
00:32:09That's her
00:32:11favorite toy, Tressie.
00:32:15Ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:32:17I used to see the way she plays
00:32:19with a stupid thing.
00:32:21How is she?
00:32:23Good.
00:32:25Does she miss me?
00:32:27Yeah.
00:32:31Don't worry about the cat.
00:32:35What about you?
00:32:39Don't worry about me.
00:32:44I, uh, never got much of a chance
00:32:46to, uh...
00:32:48to do the...
00:32:50father thing, you know.
00:32:53Um, these guys, those guys
00:32:55that I was telling you about,
00:32:57um, Eddie and Phil,
00:32:59they asked me
00:33:01if they could record one of your songs
00:33:03they want to do Jesse.
00:33:05No!
00:33:07Oh, it would be so great.
00:33:09I mean, they're great guys,
00:33:11and, um, they would do it as a tribute to you.
00:33:13As long as I'm sitting here,
00:33:15no one sings my song, you know?
00:33:17There's no way.
00:33:19Really? Wow.
00:33:21I thought, um...
00:33:23I thought that would make you happy.
00:33:25Well, I guess
00:33:27we don't know each other very well.
00:33:32I guess.
00:33:38Do whatever you want after.
00:33:42After...
00:33:46It's time for our dance, Jet.
00:33:51Dr. G. Rose, call your office.
00:33:53Dr. G. Rose, call your office.
00:33:55It's okay to go back in if you want to.
00:33:57I don't want to go back in.
00:34:01All we do is talk about his stupid cat.
00:34:05It's not always easy.
00:34:07It's never been easy with him.
00:34:09Hmm.
00:34:12I'm not the daughter he wanted.
00:34:16Jet James
00:34:18likes his women wild.
00:34:20Not me.
00:34:22So, um...
00:34:24I'll be back if he, uh, asks.
00:34:26He'll ask. I'm sure he'll ask.
00:34:32Let me
00:34:34ask you something. I, um...
00:34:37I have a date tonight.
00:34:39Kind of. And, um...
00:34:42I'm just wondering...
00:34:44Does this seem like the wrong time to you?
00:34:47Do you like the guy?
00:34:51Yeah.
00:34:54I do.
00:34:58But, you know...
00:35:00It feels weird.
00:35:04Any time's a good time to like somebody.
00:35:07Thanks.
00:35:14Sure.
00:35:21Just when you thought it was safe
00:35:23to go back in your mailbox.
00:35:25Are you looking for letter bombs today, Bobby?
00:35:28Not today, Max.
00:35:30Today I might have the whole city of Paris
00:35:32right here in this envelope.
00:35:50This is Robert Moritz.
00:35:54Who?
00:35:56Alcoholics Anonymous.
00:35:58I'm sorry. You got the wrong Mr. Moritz.
00:36:02An occasional glass of wine.
00:36:04And a few beers.
00:36:06Yes, that's it.
00:36:08No, I'm not in denial.
00:36:10It's just...
00:36:12I don't know.
00:36:14It's just...
00:36:16I don't know.
00:36:18No, I'm not in denial.
00:36:20Look, I don't know how you got my number,
00:36:22but I am not an alcoholic.
00:36:26No, you don't need to send anybody around.
00:36:30No, I don't want a sponsor.
00:36:34I should get my number to Ann.
00:36:48Hello?
00:36:50I couldn't pass up calling you on my limo phone.
00:36:52I couldn't pass up calling you on my limo phone.
00:36:54How are you? You behaving?
00:36:56Well, you sent me out with these two young hell-raisers,
00:36:58so who knows where we're gonna end up tonight.
00:37:00Um, so listen,
00:37:02I, uh, invited someone for dinner.
00:37:04Who do you know in L.A.?
00:37:06Well, nobody.
00:37:08This guy who gave me a ride home in his truck.
00:37:10You invited over a truck driver?
00:37:12Yeah, I did.
00:37:14You invited over a truck driver?
00:37:16You invited over a truck driver?
00:37:18Yeah, I know. That doesn't sound...
00:37:20I'm-I'm losing you.
00:37:22What happened?
00:37:24Uh, well, we just met, you know,
00:37:26in Chow, Chinese...
00:37:28You're telling me he's Chinese?
00:37:30Who?
00:37:32This Mr. Chow guy.
00:37:34I am having some strange guy over for dinner,
00:37:36and I'm waiting for the hospital to call,
00:37:38and this is just a terrible idea.
00:37:40When are you coming home?
00:37:42Huh.
00:37:44Technology.
00:37:50What am I doing?
00:37:52Boys,
00:37:54I'm sorry to bring you down,
00:37:56but I ain't much in a party mood.
00:37:58Something I gotta do.
00:38:00Well,
00:38:02we'll hang out with you if that's okay.
00:38:04I'm about to lose
00:38:06the best friend I'll ever have,
00:38:08and I can't begin to tell you
00:38:10what that feels like.
00:38:12This morning,
00:38:14he told me he was scared and wanted to go home.
00:38:18Now,
00:38:20when I needed a place to live,
00:38:22Jet took me in.
00:38:24Now he needs a place to die,
00:38:26so I'm taking him out.
00:38:38Love you.
00:38:40Sorry about dinner.
00:38:42Had to leave unexpectedly.
00:38:44Would've called but didn't have your number.
00:38:46Thanks for everything,
00:38:48Jesse.
00:38:58Mommy.
00:39:00Sorry about dinner.
00:39:02Had to leave unexpectedly.
00:39:04Would've called but didn't have your number.
00:39:06Thanks for everything, Jesse.
00:39:10Sorry about dinner.
00:39:12Had to leave unexpectedly.
00:39:14Would've called but didn't have your number.
00:39:16Thanks for everything, Jesse.
00:39:40Hey.
00:39:52Hey.
00:39:54I thought you left.
00:39:56Well, yeah.
00:39:58I got your poem.
00:40:00I got your note
00:40:02about my poem. I wrote it when...
00:40:04Well, I didn't expect to see you again.
00:40:06You don't know me
00:40:08for a poem like this.
00:40:10Why don't you give me a rose
00:40:12and a poem when you
00:40:14know me better?
00:40:16Okay.
00:40:18Let's go back.
00:40:20As long as I don't have to go back to before I met you.
00:40:22No. Let's go back to now.
00:40:24Ready?
00:40:28Hi. How are you?
00:40:30Nice tie. Come on in.
00:40:34Nice house.
00:40:38Oh.
00:40:40Oh.
00:40:42I'm sorry I wrote that note.
00:40:44Um...
00:40:46I have an awful lot going on in my life right now
00:40:48and I
00:40:50really considered blowing you off.
00:40:52Wow.
00:40:54You're really honest.
00:40:56There's something you should know.
00:40:58I quit my job today.
00:41:00You quit your job today?
00:41:02You brought champagne?
00:41:04That's an extravagant gesture.
00:41:06Let me see.
00:41:08Okay.
00:41:10Fancy.
00:41:12That's what I was saying.
00:41:14I, uh...
00:41:16Mmm.
00:41:18Delicious.
00:41:22I'm, uh, second chef at Belasco's
00:41:24in San Francisco.
00:41:26Belasco's? Sure. Read the reviews.
00:41:28It's my dream, actually,
00:41:30to open my own restaurant someday.
00:41:32Well, my dream is to
00:41:34go to Paris, write an epic poem,
00:41:36and be there for the opening of your restaurant.
00:41:40Now, do you have a real job lined up
00:41:42between now and your dream?
00:41:44Yeah. Well, maybe.
00:41:46I might have something to celebrate.
00:41:48But I do have something to say.
00:41:50Oh. Well, I bet. I mean, if you're a writer.
00:41:54Smells good.
00:41:56Oh, this?
00:41:58This is for the cat.
00:42:00I lost my father's cat and I made up these posters
00:42:02and made her some good food.
00:42:04I just haven't had time to find her.
00:42:06Well, why don't we go now?
00:42:08Now?
00:42:10Yeah.
00:42:12Um...
00:42:14Okay.
00:42:16We can go for a little while.
00:42:20How long you figure
00:42:22I got on that clock
00:42:24then?
00:42:26Huh?
00:42:28What did it say?
00:42:30The morning, maybe.
00:42:34Damn.
00:42:38I always love the morning.
00:42:44I never could get up before noon, though.
00:42:50Well...
00:42:52Well...
00:42:54This is one I can't sleep through.
00:43:04You mind?
00:43:06Huh?
00:43:08Some company?
00:43:10Spend the night together?
00:43:12Not just you and me in the tubes?
00:43:16Ah, I like that.
00:43:18Yeah.
00:43:20Yeah, you could scratch out a few lines for me.
00:43:24Good time for a new song.
00:43:30Bop, bop, bop.
00:43:32Hey.
00:43:34Did you know that a regular person
00:43:36can actually buy their own star and name it?
00:43:38That's stupid.
00:43:40What am I gonna do with a star?
00:43:42But you can keep your wishes there.
00:43:44Just go ahead and look up there.
00:43:46See if there's one you really like.
00:43:48It's on me.
00:43:50You can't afford it. You don't have a job.
00:43:54Okay, um...
00:44:00Is this what it's like to go shopping with you?
00:44:04Okay.
00:44:06That one.
00:44:08You can't have that one. That one's mine.
00:44:10No, that's the one I want.
00:44:12Right there.
00:44:14Okay, okay.
00:44:16Now, I've already put a down payment on it,
00:44:18and I'll continue the payments on one condition.
00:44:20What?
00:44:22That you wish upon that star every night.
00:44:26I'm not a big wisher.
00:44:28If you don't wish,
00:44:30I'll repossess.
00:44:32Repossess?
00:44:34I-I-I didn't mean that.
00:44:36I meant that it's yours forever,
00:44:38and all I have to do is name that star.
00:44:42Jet.
00:44:44After my dad, the rock star.
00:44:54My dad was at Woodstock.
00:44:58I was there, too.
00:45:02Janis Joplin changed my diaper.
00:45:04Cool.
00:45:06I was there as a very...
00:45:08dirty, very naked two-year-old.
00:45:10Hmm.
00:45:12I've got to go rent the Woodstock video.
00:45:14I bet I could pick you out of a crowd of 500,000 hippies.
00:45:18I doubt it.
00:45:20No, you smile.
00:45:22Your smile will always give you away.
00:45:26I wasn't smiling.
00:45:30Oh, Bobby, you're putting so much into this.
00:45:32You're putting so much work into tonight,
00:45:34and all that's gonna happen is dinner.
00:45:36I don't fall in love.
00:45:38And if I did,
00:45:40I would take my own
00:45:42sweet time about it.
00:45:44How much time do you need?
00:45:46More than you.
00:45:48Hmm.
00:45:50I can tell you're one of these hopeless romantics
00:45:52who falls in love every two hours.
00:45:54Oh, I am setting my watch.
00:45:56Okay.
00:45:58We'll see who falls in love every two hours.
00:46:00I bet you beat your own time.
00:46:02I'm not timing me.
00:46:04I'm timing you.
00:46:06Hmm.
00:46:08Oh.
00:46:10Um...
00:46:12We should check on dinner.
00:46:14Now.
00:46:16Huh.
00:46:18I'm great. I'm starved.
00:46:20What's for dessert?
00:46:22I'm a sous chef. I don't really do dessert.
00:46:24Wait.
00:46:26Wait a minute.
00:46:28First, you don't fall in love,
00:46:30you don't believe in wishes,
00:46:32and now you don't do dessert?
00:46:34Hmm.
00:46:36Thanks. Thanks a lot.
00:46:38Who are you talking to?
00:46:42My dad.
00:46:44He died almost a year ago.
00:46:46Maybe it sounds a little bit crazy,
00:46:48but, uh, I believe he's up there
00:46:50trying to find somebody for me.
00:46:52Probably trying to
00:46:54find someone who'd talk some sense into my head.
00:46:56Hmm. I'm sorry.
00:46:58Hmm.
00:47:00Did you get to say goodbye to him?
00:47:02No.
00:47:04We got to say goodnight after a Dodger game.
00:47:06He bought the hot dogs.
00:47:08We were both laughing over this little mustard stain
00:47:10he had on his shirt.
00:47:12It's funny, though. I, uh...
00:47:14I felt like I loved him the most at that moment.
00:47:18Jessie.
00:47:20There's something I have to tell you.
00:47:22Oh, my God.
00:47:24That's the guy from Au Fongs, isn't it?
00:47:26Trying to steal your car.
00:47:30He steals my cab.
00:47:32That's so bizarre. Hey, punk!
00:47:34Wonderful. Here.
00:47:36You hold this. Stay right here.
00:47:38Careful.
00:47:44Back off, that job.
00:47:46Just give me my keys back, Bobby.
00:47:48I'm in love, Eric.
00:47:50Try to comprehend.
00:47:52Punch me.
00:47:54We got to make it look real.
00:47:56I'll make it look real.
00:47:58Huh?
00:48:00You like that, pretty boy? Come on.
00:48:02Keys are out of my pocket.
00:48:04I'm not falling for that homo trick.
00:48:06You want my hands in your pants playing pocketball?
00:48:08Uh-uh.
00:48:24Wild woman.
00:48:26Huh?
00:48:28First time.
00:48:30You okay?
00:48:32Yeah.
00:48:40Mr. Peoples, where are you going with that wheelchair?
00:48:42Taking it home.
00:48:44Visiting hours are over, sir.
00:48:46You have to leave.
00:48:48Well, we got to get tonight. Let's ride.
00:48:50No, there's no riding without signing a release.
00:48:52You can't just ride out of here with Mr. James.
00:48:54You want to bet?
00:48:56Please, sir. I'm calling security.
00:48:58You play tough ropes like this, Nehemiah?
00:49:00Yeah.
00:49:02To fewer people, too.
00:49:04Boys.
00:49:06Hospital wants to shoot me for taking out somebody
00:49:08who's gonna die.
00:49:10Well, you got to appreciate
00:49:12the irony in that, gentlemen.
00:49:14Oh, I do, Nehemiah.
00:49:16Mr. Peoples, wait.
00:49:18This is his pain medication.
00:49:20You're gonna need this, okay?
00:49:22How are the schedule?
00:49:24Well, it's real kind of you.
00:49:26I almost took off
00:49:28without getting your home phone number.
00:49:32555-3584.
00:49:34Um, I remember.
00:49:38I think again.
00:49:42Fine woman, Nehemiah.
00:49:44Give her a call sometime for me.
00:49:46Call her for you?
00:49:48Yeah.
00:49:50It's unclear, but I can still sorely hear.
00:49:52555-3584.
00:49:54I'm gonna call her for myself.
00:50:06I thought you didn't do desserts.
00:50:10I burned dinner.
00:50:14Oh, until no one will ever know.
00:50:20Have you thought about how you're gonna get home?
00:50:24No. Have you?
00:50:26No.
00:50:28I mean, should you think about it?
00:50:34For how long?
00:50:38You could call a friend.
00:50:44You could give me a ride.
00:50:46I don't have a car.
00:50:48Oh, I don't have a friend.
00:50:54Shouldn't we call the police?
00:50:58Why? Have we done something we shouldn't have done?
00:51:04Don't you want to report the theft of your vehicle?
00:51:08Oh.
00:51:10Oh.
00:51:12Bobby.
00:51:14You don't have to lie to me anymore.
00:51:16I don't.
00:51:20I know that guy was here to repossess your car.
00:51:22He was the same guy who was after Jet.
00:51:26We have this guy in our case
00:51:28named Moritz.
00:51:30Moritz, yeah.
00:51:32What a jerk. I hate him.
00:51:34Same guy?
00:51:36Yeah. I have his number.
00:51:40At home.
00:51:42Let's call him.
00:51:44Let's call him.
00:51:46Come on.
00:51:50We'll be just like high school.
00:51:52Did I ever tell you I have a master's in romantics?
00:51:54Mm-mm.
00:51:56I've been trying to get a grant
00:51:58so I can write my own poetry.
00:52:00The letter from the grant committee
00:52:02came today.
00:52:04Oh, yeah?
00:52:06I want you to open it. You tell me if I'm going to Paris
00:52:08to write for you.
00:52:10You want me to be the first one to know?
00:52:12But first you better read the name
00:52:14on the envelope.
00:52:16The Swinburne Committee, Washington, D.C.
00:52:18Very fancy. Hello?
00:52:20Shit.
00:52:22What was machine?
00:52:24You leave a message.
00:52:26Come.
00:52:28You are a disgusting piece of slime
00:52:30and a pathetic excuse for a human being, Moritz.
00:52:32Oh.
00:52:40Hi. It's me again.
00:52:44Well, I feel like
00:52:46if I'm alone with her for one more second,
00:52:48I'm going to ask her to marry me.
00:52:50I just
00:52:52got to tell her my name.
00:52:54I mean, she hates this guy, Moritz.
00:52:56You. Me. Us.
00:52:58You.
00:53:00I'm going to go tell her.
00:53:06My father sent me flowers from the hospital.
00:53:08What's wrong with your father?
00:53:10My father is dying.
00:53:12What do you want to say to that?
00:53:14Do you want to try to fix that with your words?
00:53:18I... I can't.
00:53:20No, you can't, because you might be just like him.
00:53:22You have your poetry, he had his songs,
00:53:24and none of that means anything
00:53:26in the real world. It's all fantasy.
00:53:28Guys like you don't stick around for real life.
00:53:30I'm not budging from this spot.
00:53:32I sent him money. Oh, I sent him
00:53:34plane tickets, and he never came to see me.
00:53:36In a few hours, I'm going
00:53:38to be totally alone.
00:53:40It is now too late to fix it.
00:53:42There is this whole part of my life my father will never see.
00:53:44My father is dying!
00:53:46And you, you want to
00:53:48fall in love.
00:53:50What else can I do?
00:53:52Don't do this, because it is not going to happen for us now.
00:53:58I...
00:54:08I can't.
00:54:22Idiot.
00:54:24Um, Bobby?
00:54:28I, um...
00:54:30I'm sorry, I am not
00:54:32feeling well.
00:54:34You going to be sick?
00:54:36No, no, no. I don't...
00:54:38I mean, I don't throw up, really.
00:54:40I just, uh...
00:54:42I mean, I never throw up.
00:54:44Well, I've never met anyone who's
00:54:46never thrown up.
00:54:48Yeah.
00:54:50Well, pretty special club.
00:54:52I'll give you my autograph later.
00:54:54I'm sorry, Bobby, I'm ruining our date.
00:54:56Is there anything I can do?
00:54:58Why don't you just, uh, talk?
00:55:00Which I know I said, you know, don't do that before,
00:55:02but, uh,
00:55:04maybe now is a, you know,
00:55:06a good time for
00:55:08words.
00:55:14I gently touched her hand.
00:55:18She gave a look that did my soul enslave.
00:55:22I pressed her rubbed lips in vain.
00:55:24She rose up to be pressed again.
00:55:26On her soft breasts
00:55:28my hand I laid
00:55:30and a quick light impression made.
00:55:34They with a kindly warmth did glow
00:55:36and swelled and seemed to overflow.
00:55:40On her eyes my eyes did stay
00:55:44or her smooth limbs
00:55:46my hands did stray.
00:55:48Each sense
00:55:50was ravished with delight
00:55:52and my soul
00:55:54stood prepared for flight.
00:56:00That was good.
00:56:06That was good.
00:56:18I didn't throw up.
00:56:20You gave it your best shot. That's all that matters.
00:56:26I'm sorry.
00:56:28You're beautiful.
00:56:36I thought we might like some music.
00:56:40His dad's band. That's him.
00:56:42That's my mom. She sang
00:56:44Back Up. She Split.
00:56:46Um, that's
00:56:48Maya
00:56:50who was like
00:56:52family.
00:56:54This was my family. I grew up
00:56:56on the road.
00:56:58No school dances?
00:57:00Football games?
00:57:02Well,
00:57:04the band was busted on prom night.
00:57:06Which would have been okay, except they were playing
00:57:08my prom.
00:57:10Other than that was the only gig I could get.
00:57:12Um,
00:57:14I almost had my first dance
00:57:16before the cops showed up.
00:57:20This is nice.
00:57:24Yeah.
00:57:26This is the one he wrote for me.
00:57:30So you must be the girl in the song.
00:57:34I never felt like I was.
00:57:38Well, let's find out if you are.
00:57:46Okay.
00:58:16Okay.
00:58:34Time's up.
00:58:36You're five minutes slow.
00:58:46I know you're the life master.
00:59:06Is it true, Mr. James, that you once
00:59:08jumped off the four-story balcony
00:59:10of the Chateau Marmont?
00:59:12Don't believe everything
00:59:14you hear.
00:59:16I pushed my bass player off the balcony.
00:59:20Yeah.
00:59:22I remember.
00:59:26I could have been toast.
00:59:28Well, that seems like
00:59:30yesterday, Jethro.
00:59:32We love the way
00:59:34that you say things, you know that?
00:59:36I know I'm always
00:59:38writing about stuff
00:59:40I don't want
00:59:42anybody to know about.
00:59:46I mean my words.
00:59:48You get to say it, but
00:59:50nobody gets to know you for it.
00:59:52You know?
00:59:54Exactly.
01:00:00You want my song?
01:00:02Yes.
01:00:10I want
01:00:12full mechanical royalty rights.
01:00:16No favored nations.
01:00:18No reductions.
01:00:20With any other publishers.
01:00:24I have to find out now
01:00:26that you're a business man.
01:00:28Well, you and me
01:00:30was always willing to sell out,
01:00:32me and Maya.
01:00:34This time somebody's buying.
01:00:36Yeah.
01:00:38Well,
01:00:40you have
01:00:42seen your last sunrise
01:00:44and the clubs
01:00:46are closed.
01:00:48What you want to do now?
01:00:50You want to go home or
01:00:52grab a cheeseburger?
01:00:56Take me home.
01:00:58Hurry up!
01:01:00I have to go to the hospital.
01:01:02It's ready.
01:01:04I made something
01:01:06very special.
01:01:08Food can be poetic, too,
01:01:10you know.
01:01:16Oh.
01:01:18We forgot to look at your letter last night.
01:01:20Oh.
01:01:22Oh.
01:01:24We forgot to look at your letter last night.
01:01:26And in honor of this grand occasion,
01:01:28I have made a slight variation
01:01:30on crêpe parsley roulette,
01:01:32stuffed and rolled French pancakes,
01:01:34and I have renamed it.
01:01:42I have renamed it.
01:01:48Crêpe parsley roulette.
01:01:50Crêpe...
01:01:52Robert Moritz.
01:01:54I was working on your father's account
01:01:56at Pay Now.
01:01:58I quit when I met you.
01:02:02You didn't tell me the truth about who you are.
01:02:04Do you think I will ever see you now as anything
01:02:06except that guy I had sex with
01:02:08while my father was dying?
01:02:10You're nothing but a mistake.
01:02:12I'm not a mistake. We're not a mistake.
01:02:14We found each other at the right time.
01:02:16That's my cab.
01:02:18Thank you, ma'am.
01:02:20Mr. James, are you there?
01:02:22Your irresponsibility disgusts me.
01:02:24You're a pathetic waste as a human being.
01:02:26A bum and a loser. Shame on you.
01:02:28Your time's up, Mr. James.
01:02:30Get out of his house.
01:02:38My ex-boss did that. He's using my voice.
01:02:40What am I supposed to believe?
01:02:42He rearranged the words. It's not me.
01:02:44Well, it sounds like you.
01:02:46You don't understand how those words hurt people.
01:02:48Jessie, wait.
01:02:50Don't be here when I get back.
01:03:00Now what?
01:03:02You picked her. Think of something.
01:03:04Mind-blower, man.
01:03:08Hi, I'm Walter.
01:03:10Bobby.
01:03:12Jessie threw me out of the house.
01:03:14She's upset about her dad.
01:03:16Is he gonna die?
01:03:20Yes, Walter.
01:03:24What do you do when you lose a friend?
01:03:34Maybe when you lose someone,
01:03:36everything that you loved about that person
01:03:38gets added on to you.
01:03:40You mean like maybe I'll play guitar like Jet?
01:03:42I'd bet on it, Walter.
01:03:44It's Dr. Pepper.
01:03:50Sergeant Pepper.
01:03:52Yeah, stop, stop.
01:03:54Yeah, stop.
01:03:56Wait here.
01:03:58Wait here.
01:04:10Tina.
01:04:12Tina.
01:04:14Hi.
01:04:16Tina, Tina.
01:04:18Look.
01:04:20Oh, sweetie.
01:04:22This is what you've been doing.
01:04:24Come on.
01:04:26I'm gonna take you home.
01:04:28I'm gonna take you home.
01:04:30What's in the box?
01:04:32Your kittens.
01:04:34I don't allow cats in my cab, lady.
01:04:36No, this is my dad's cat.
01:04:38It just had kittens. I gotta get it home.
01:04:40I'm allergic. I'll be sneezing my head off.
01:04:42I don't have very much time, okay?
01:04:44What am I supposed to do?
01:04:46I'll take you. No cats.
01:04:48Jesus.
01:04:54Hi.
01:05:10Hi, Walter.
01:05:12Hi.
01:05:24The house is empty.
01:05:26Everything we got's in the yard,
01:05:28and she locks the damn door.
01:05:32Say, you'd pay for that stuff, son?
01:05:38You were in the band.
01:05:40Jessie showed me your novel.
01:05:42She also told me Janis Joplin changed the diapers at Woodstock.
01:05:44She told you wrong.
01:05:46If the diapers got changed at Woodstock,
01:05:48I was the one doing it.
01:05:50Where is she?
01:05:52Jessie just went to the hospital.
01:05:54Hospital?
01:05:56Jet's gone.
01:06:00Mr. James left us.
01:06:02No. He left the hospital
01:06:04and came home for some peace,
01:06:06and she locked the damn door.
01:06:08Jet's in the limo?
01:06:10Yeah.
01:06:12Can I go talk to him?
01:06:14Sure can. You can keep him busy.
01:06:18Hey, you fellas.
01:06:20Ever get primal urge to break down a door?
01:06:36Hi.
01:06:38How you doing?
01:06:46That's a new approach.
01:06:50How you doing, sir?
01:06:52I know you.
01:06:54Robert Moritz.
01:06:56I'm the bill collector.
01:06:58Yes.
01:07:00Well, uh,
01:07:02look me up on my new address.
01:07:04I'll give you a check.
01:07:06I'm moving.
01:07:08Mr. James, I'm in love with your daughter.
01:07:12You are?
01:07:14Yes, sir.
01:07:16Ah. Been seeing each other for a while, huh?
01:07:18Yes.
01:07:20We met yesterday.
01:07:22It all started with a fortune cookie.
01:07:24Ah, you, uh,
01:07:26gonna kick-start
01:07:28a life together
01:07:30on a fortune cookie?
01:07:32No, sir.
01:07:34I'm not that crazy.
01:07:36It's something much more solid and dependable than that.
01:07:38It's her eyes.
01:07:40I understand
01:07:42you're asking permission
01:07:44to marry my daughter.
01:07:46Well, I wanted to know
01:07:48if it was okay with you,
01:07:50if that miracle ever happens.
01:07:52Ah, what do you know?
01:07:54A father thing.
01:07:56You got the fortune?
01:08:00Walter, run inside, get my clothes.
01:08:02They're on the, uh, chair in the living room.
01:08:08Hey, you want a beer, Jethro?
01:08:10Hey, Maya,
01:08:12I don't mind if I do.
01:08:14That's my man.
01:08:16Here's to great times
01:08:18and good music.
01:08:20Time remembered
01:08:22is grief forgotten.
01:08:24Blossom by blossom,
01:08:26the spring begins.
01:08:28What's that?
01:08:30Swim pot.
01:08:32Bobby.
01:08:44Well,
01:08:46you can't ask
01:08:48for more than that.
01:08:52To just make for a day,
01:08:54I'm sure
01:08:56you'll never stop hearing
01:08:58what her eyes tell you.
01:09:00I won't yet.
01:09:04Hey, Maya,
01:09:06where's my little girl?
01:09:08She didn't back yet yet.
01:09:10Shall we get you inside?
01:09:14Yeah.
01:09:20What are you doing here?
01:09:22I found her.
01:09:26But I have to get back to the hospital,
01:09:28and the cab wouldn't take me.
01:09:30He's home.
01:09:32He's home?
01:09:34Mm-hmm.
01:09:36What do I say to him?
01:09:38Darling, it don't matter.
01:09:40Go inside.
01:09:42Go.
01:09:44What's different about you
01:09:46today?
01:09:48Something different?
01:09:52The same.
01:10:00I don't want you here.
01:10:04You're the guy
01:10:06at dinner.
01:10:08Bobby.
01:10:12Well, I guess I gotta
01:10:14be the one to ask the difficult questions.
01:10:18So how do you, uh,
01:10:20intend to support a wife and family,
01:10:22Bobby?
01:10:24Poetry.
01:10:26Poetry?
01:10:28Wow, you had me worried there for a minute.
01:10:30Poetry, yeah.
01:10:32I like that.
01:10:34I like to get in that income bracket myself one of these days.
01:10:36I'm glad to know you,
01:10:38Bobby.
01:10:40Go away.
01:10:42It's just family.
01:10:50Mom.
01:11:02Mom.
01:11:04Take you to a place
01:11:06we can leave today.
01:11:14Don't need any money
01:11:16where we're headed.
01:11:18It's free.
01:11:22I'll hold you
01:11:24forever.
01:11:30I'll hold you
01:11:32forever.
01:11:40You must be tear.
01:11:46She was lost, you know.
01:11:48I know the
01:11:50feeling.
01:11:54Should I take off and not say goodbye?
01:11:58It would be kind of like
01:12:00you.
01:12:02Yeah.
01:12:04Not this time, though.
01:12:14Did I do okay?
01:12:18Did I do okay as Jed James' daughter?
01:12:20Okay.
01:12:24I never would have grown up
01:12:26without my little girl.
01:12:30Oh,
01:12:32I know you'll
01:12:34love your badass daddy.
01:12:42I'm afraid.
01:12:44I'm afraid I'm gonna miss you too much.
01:12:46Oh, that's the way it is.
01:12:48You're supposed to miss somebody.
01:12:50I don't know if I'd take
01:12:52any less.
01:12:54I gave
01:12:56my permission.
01:12:58For what?
01:13:00You let
01:13:02Nehemiah
01:13:04stand in for me when he
01:13:06walked down the aisle.
01:13:08No,
01:13:10don't be sad.
01:13:14Not everybody
01:13:16gets to say goodbye.
01:13:18Not everybody gets to say goodbye.
01:13:24Let's not say goodbye.
01:13:28Let's just say goodnight.
01:13:44I guess now I better
01:13:46thank
01:13:48Mr. Peoples for being a really fine
01:13:50bass player.
01:13:54Just make sure it doesn't go
01:13:56to his head.
01:14:16You mind if I
01:14:18finish my beer with Jet?
01:14:20He just asked for you.
01:14:26Jessie,
01:14:28you know,
01:14:30me and your
01:14:32daddy,
01:14:34we go back a long
01:14:36ways. I know.
01:14:46Jet wanted
01:14:48Jessie to have the car.
01:14:50Eric's probably searching the neighborhood
01:14:52for it right now.
01:14:54Come here, Repo Boy.
01:14:56Repo Boy is not a problem.
01:14:58Tell me he's not
01:15:00in the trunk.
01:15:02You ever see the movie The Naked Prey?

01:16:18Leaving tomorrow, yeah.
01:16:20We're throwing a party for Jethro, just like you wanted.
01:16:24You want to stop over and say goodbye?
01:16:28You want me to tell her what?
01:16:32Okay, I'll tell her.
01:16:34Okay.
01:16:40He says you're naked,
01:16:42you're crying, you're holding a Barbie doll
01:16:44with one leg and you're flinging mud
01:16:46at what looks like Joe Cocker.
01:16:50Now, that ain't a perfect description of you
01:16:52at Woodstock.
01:16:54It's me you're flinging the mud at,
01:16:56Joe Cocker.
01:17:00He found me.
01:17:04Oh...
01:17:06Here you have it, baby.
01:17:08Thank you very much.
01:17:10Have some more.
01:17:12Oh, look!
01:17:32You going on the road any time soon?
01:17:36I just love the road.
01:17:38Look at this thing of mud.
01:17:40Of course,
01:17:42I don't entertain that often, nurse.
01:17:46Hi, Bobby.
01:17:48I brought the Mustang.
01:17:52Have you seen Jessie?
01:17:54Yeah, um...
01:17:56Must be inside.
01:17:58Thanks.
01:18:00Beer.
01:18:02Yeah.
01:18:10I'll never be anyone like you, Jessie.
01:18:20Okay.
01:18:22Hey, guys, look at you.
01:18:24Handsome.
01:18:26I just know you're gonna win tonight.
01:18:28Jessie, these beads are for you. They're good luck.
01:18:32Oh, thank you.
01:18:34You're welcome.
01:18:40It was a real pleasure to get to know you.
01:18:42Me, too.
01:18:44Take care.
01:18:46Thank you, guys.
01:18:48Are you okay, Phil?
01:18:50I give it all up
01:18:52to go to the movies with her.
01:18:54One time.
01:18:56That's beautiful, man.
01:18:58Now write a song about it.
01:19:04Hi.
01:19:10Hi.
01:19:14I...
01:19:16I know you a little bit better now for this.
01:19:18Yeah.
01:19:22It's funny.
01:19:24It may be too late, but
01:19:26I finally feel like I had a dad.
01:19:28You got to say goodbye.
01:19:30I did.
01:19:34I got to say hello.
01:19:36Hmm.
01:19:38Now what?
01:19:40Oh, um, well...
01:19:44You're going to Paris.
01:19:52You patched my life back together.
01:19:54I'm really happy for you.
01:19:56It's great.
01:20:00Me and the boys would like
01:20:02to thank Jessie for your send-off.
01:20:04Is that okay?
01:20:06It's okay.
01:20:08Hey, um,
01:20:10paid some bills for you.
01:20:12And, uh, cleaned up.
01:20:14And, uh, put some food in the fridge
01:20:16in case you get hungry.
01:20:18Then you still got time
01:20:20to vacuum the house next door.
01:20:22Don't tempt me.
01:20:24Well, you just be sure to
01:20:26stop by and see Uncle Nehemiah
01:20:28sometimes.
01:20:30Of course.
01:20:36You know, if I hadn't stopped to look for Tina,
01:20:38I would have missed Jet.
01:20:40Maybe it's like you said.
01:20:42I should believe in destiny.
01:20:48Here's your mustang keys.
01:20:56Goodbye.

01:23:06what I feel in my heart
01:23:08is because of you
01:23:18The roof leaks.
01:23:22The roof leaks.
01:23:24It's raining.
01:23:26It's raining!
01:23:30Can we smile
01:23:32if there's no rain?
01:23:34Where is she?
01:23:36She's gone down the road.
01:23:38Probably won't get very far.
01:23:40Jet Throne never could get to top up in the rain.
01:23:42Go get her, boy!
01:23:44We'll make it,
01:23:46I'll be right.
01:23:48Let's see the sun

01:23:58we used to travel, Winston.
01:24:04Hi.
01:24:06Hi.
01:24:08I can't get the top up.
01:24:10I can see that.
01:24:14Do you hate me for leaving?
01:24:16You didn't get very far,
01:24:18but I'm sure you'll make it.
01:24:20You didn't get very far.
01:24:22No, I didn't.
01:24:30Isn't there a famous cooking school in Paris?
01:24:34I did burn dinner.
01:24:38Maybe it's time for a refresher course.
01:24:42Maybe.
