"I love you," yeah.

And I got to go to this thing

that I have.

So I'm gonna go to this thing.

Okay.

Catherine, wait up.

Go to dinner with me?

- Like on a date?

- Yeah.

Are you insane?

Because I'm acting like...

never mind.

- Look, Doctor...

- Please call me Noah.

I, uh, technically

would never ask a patient out

so every time you call me "doctor,"

I can't help but feel a little pervy.

Okay, Noah, I'm on

a little thing called the rebound.

I'll tie you up

if you're into that.

- What?

- What?

I'm sorry, that was bad...

bad joke.

Yeah.

All right, I'm gonna go.

Okay.

Catherine!

It was really great talking to you.

You too.

Focus.

Um, hi, could I get a large coffee

with some ice in it, please?

You mean, an ice coffee?

No, like a hot coffee

but just with ice in it.

I just like to drink it

right away.

$2.

Thanks.

Hey, you're the bartender

from the other night, right?

- Yep.

- Yeah, I think I owe you money.

Noah took care of it.

Oh.

- So when's the next show?

- Most weekends.

But Lee Ann doesn't play here

anymore.

Why not?

- Well, she doesn't perform anymore.

- Oh.

Oh, oh, sorry.

That's yours.

Last time I'm scraping this off, Emily.

I'm warning you.

Find another window.

I've no idea what you're

talking about, Mr. Harmon.

I'd put that on my wall.

It's really good.

Whoever did that is,

like, brilliant good.

You should come to the barn

tomorrow night.

Hmm?

Just up the creek about

a half-mile down from the race track.

Everybody's gonna be

at the farm.

Aaron Embry's playing.

Bye, Mr. Harmon.

Hey.

Hi.

This place is amazing.

- It's starting.

- Oh.

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me...

If you follow how the river

finds its way to the sea

You'll notice every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me

Every part of you

is just another part of me...

Every part of you

Every part of you

is just another part of me. .

I really needed that.

So I think everybody's gonna go

to Noah's after for dinner.

- Do you want to come?

- To Noah's?

He owns the barn.

Linda Carr owns the barn.

That was his mom.

No way.

Mm-hmm.

Linda Carr Bernstein.

She died a couple of years ago.

I think it's pretty cool

that he kept this place going.

So you coming?

You need help down there?

Who need some more wine?

A little bit more of the red.

Who listens

to the radio anymore?

93.3 is part of the perks

of living in Woodstock.

And I love the radio.

Remember the days when you had

to wait for a good song?

Instant gratification

is the tagline of our generation.

So I get you.

They play all the local bands

and new stuff

people are still working on,

which is cool to hear.

It's the reason

why I listen to music.

I always have it on at my office.

It's just the best.

So, Catherine,

what brought you up here?

Um... well, I own a house here,

and I haven't been back

in years and years.

Just thought I'd take a break

and do some writing.

You're a writer?

Yes, singer...

well songwriter/singer-

so, whatever, yes, I'm a writer.

Cool, what kind of stuff

do you write?

I guess you could say

that it is in the folk family.

- It's a good family to be in.

- Yeah.

- Why don't you play something?

- Uh...

- Oh, come on, play something.

- No... no, it's okay.

This is a great audience.

Ah, yeah, I can tell...

well, actually,

I did just finish one song

that I can play, but...

So there we go.

- Come on.

- Yeah!

- Do it.

- Let's hear it.

. No .

I really don't think so,

oh, oh, oh

Did you think I'd be incapable

of being on my own?

No

I really don't think so,

oh, oh, oh

That I would for a second

let you back in through my door

I have spent many a night

even when

I was by your side

I shed tears I couldn't cry

I shed tears I couldn't dry

for taking my blindfold off

Now I ain't jaded no more,

no more

And I take pride in being

the one that said good-bye

That could only mean

lam me once more

That can only mean

lam me once more. .

That sounded great.

Let's hear another one.

Why haven't you ever come back?

Oh... just, uh, you know

never got around to it.

It wasn't on the old agenda.

Also my p... my parents died

when I was little here,

so, uh, I guess it kind of...

brought back some memories.

Um, where's the...

where's the bathroom?

Is that on the...

in the veranda?

Okay, I'm gonna run

to the bathroom.

Bobby Charles.

"I Must Be in a Good

Place Now."

I used to hear this song

all the time when I was a kid.

I'd sit under the table

in the kitchen

and watch their bare feet

swaying around.

They'd pretend not to know

I was down there.

"I wonder if Catherine

is sleeping tight?"

Jackie De Shannon.

Oh, "The Weight."

This must be the best song

ever written.

I'

Like, it must be.

The first night we met

when I brought you to my office...

I watched you sleep

the whole night.

Well, that's borderline creepy.

And I thought...

this is the most beautiful

person ever made.

I should go.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I never got a chance to

thank you for last week, so...

thank you,

and for the compliment.

I don't think I've ever gotten

a compliment like that.

I'

Um, is Emily here?

- Uh, no...

- Okay.

You're Lee Ann Frank, right?

- That would be me.

- I'm a huge fan.

Oh, thank you, honey.

Can I get you something?

Yeah, a coffee would be great.

- Yeah, it's a cold night.

- It's freezing.

I don't know

how you guys do it.

Oh, that's the best part...

the weather

these mountains make.

Are you just visiting

Woodstock?

Actually, I moved back here,

I guess.

Oh... that's great.

Where to?

The Brown house on Gray street.

It's right next to

the Gilard farm.

Yeah, I didn't know

that house sold.

Oh, it's mine,

or it was my parents'.

Uh, so what do I owe you?

- On me.

- You sure?

Welcome back.

Oh, hey, uh, I didn't catch

your name.

Catherine.

Catherine Brown.

Yes, well, welcome back

to Woodstock, Catherine Brown.

Thanks.

And it was really special

to meet you.

- Hey!

- Wens y

- Oh, God, you scared me.

- Sorry, your coffee.

Sorry. Hi.

- Are you that way?

- Yeah, I'm on Gray Road.

That's close to me.

I'll walk with you.

Okay... yeah, yeah.

Ryan and I

are just covered in red wine.

And we're just laughing so hard,

and we're so scared

that the headmaster"; gonna

come find us.

Nice.

And so Ryan looks at me

and she goes,

"Hey, do you know

the one with two sailors

who go out to sea

and get covered in red wine?"
