The Song Page #2

How's your dad?

I don't know.

Why don't you go ask him?

He looks busy.

No, no, I'm sure

he'd love to talk to you.

No, maybe later.

Excuse me.

It was nice meeting you again.

- Sorry. It's this way.

- He's a winner.

Here you are.

Just make yourself at home.

Thanks.

And sorry about Eddie.

He's a jerk.

You deserve better.

Better than a guy who'll dump me

for not sleeping with him.

I just don't know

if "better" exists anymore.

Wow.

- I just said that, didn't I?

- No, it's okay.

When I get done playing,

and you get done

with whatever you have to do,

you wanna hang out?

Look, you seem like

a really nice guy.

- A nice... Ow. That hurts.

- Heh.

Look, it's only that

I just met you.

Right.

I don't even like him,

but it still kind of kills

to see him with her.

Well, I'd hate to see you die.

Sorry.

- Uh, good luck, Jed.

- Thank you.

"I'd hate to see you die"?

Thank you, everyone.

You're in for

a real treat tonight.

Give a warm round of applause

for Louisville's Jed King.

Nice banjo, Jed.

Kentucky.

Ha, ha. Right?

Let me cut right

To the chase

Rose

When I see your beautiful face

I can't help but ask myself

Why?

And if I didn't need

This gig

I swear I'd flip my lid

And already Eddie

Would be nursing a black eye

- Ha-ha-ha.

- Oh, yeah?

- Ha-ha-ha.

- It seems like such a waste

To let him in the way

Of what you and I might have

- One day

- Ha-ha-ha.

I don't want to quit you

Baby

I ain't gonna split you

Baby

Whoo!

I'd rather give you up

Than watch you die

I don't want to

Yeah, I know loss hurts

More than a little

But he splits you down

The middle

It's time to give good love

A try

Hey!

Yeah, it would be such a pity

Just to split you fifty-fifty

Especially some guy

Who makes fun of my banjo

Shows up at a thing

With another girl

When he knows

You're gonna be here

Is scared of your dad

And breaks up

With the most beautiful girl

For the dumbest reason

In the world kind of guy

Hey, Rose

You and I will bloom

In no time

- Thank you for coming.

- Thanks.

That was an awesome show.

Thanks, appreciate it.

God bless.

Hi.

Wow.

That's really nice actually.

Here, I have something

for you too.

Oh. Yeah, this is great.

Thanks.

Really?

I think so.

But like I said,

I don't know

anything about music.

Everybody knows something

about music.

Very little, in my case.

What's your favorite

Beatles song?

Everybody has a favorite.

"Strawberry Fields Forever,"

"Hey Jude."

Well, I've always really liked

"Turn! Turn! Turn!"

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

- What? I love that song.

- I love that song too.

It's just not the Beatles.

- Yeah, it is.

- No, it's the Byrds.
