Hi.

I know, I just thought

what's another couple hours?

Hi, surprise.

I just couldn't help myself.

Okay.

What?

What... what...

After you, miss.

Noah

You're an a**hole

Noah

You're a jerk

Noah

I really don't think so,

oh, oh

I think you hate women

And you are an a**hole. .

Oh, my God.

They all just want to break

our hearts, don't they?

I blame Eve.

That's what it comes down to.

We are being punished

because this selfish naked gal

who just couldn't help herself,

we are left on this planet,

and we're trying to, like,

do what's right by life.

Never give it up, Lee Ann.

Never.

I don't think that's possible,

even if I tried.

Look where we live.

You know what?

They only like you

until they get you,

and they're gonna lie,

and they're gonna cheat,

and steal until they get you.

No, nothing is gonna

get me down this time.

Nothing's bringing me down.

Chastity belt all up in here.

Oh, oh,

I forgot to tell you something.

This is gonna make you

feel so much better.

Have you ever heard of

Billy Todd, Classic Soul Recordings?

It's this awesome, I mean,

awesome little indie label

outside of Nashville,

and Billy's an old friend of mine.

And he is the real-deal

kind of music guy.

I never asked him for anything,

ever, and I called him.

And he is gonna come here

to Woodstock on the 24th

to hear you sing.

I'm telling you,

I just got a feeling

that this is gonna be

the perfect match.

You'll come here after closing

just like you've been doing,

and you will sing

for my friend.

You good?

- The 24th?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that a problem?

No, not.

- I will be here.

- It's gonna be so great.

Oh, I love this cake.

I know, man,

this is my favorite cake.

Focus, focus, focus.

Whoo.

Think, think.

Think, think.

If I stop too long

If I stop too long to think

Nothing good

can come from that

You don't have to tell me

That I'm running scared

I am fully present

I am

Totally aware

Nothing's gonna break

me down

And I don't know anymore

Than I did way back then

It's just that I am

done with moving

In the wrong direction

Love, I wouldn't change

a thing, you know

I never could pretend

Nothing's gonna break

Nothing's gonna

break me do-o-o-wn

Nothing's gonna break

me down. .

That was dope.

- Thanks for helping.

- Yeah, of course.

I should get going.

- He's a weirdo.

- Mmm?

- You know, I should probably go, too.

- Yeah.

You gonna come?

No, I'm gonna wait for Lee Ann.

Have a good night.

You, too.

Dear fellow traveler

under the moon

I saw you standing

in the shadows

And your eyes would bloom

You put your hand down,

opened the door...

- Hey, Em.

- Hey.

- Is Catherine here?

- Nope.

Actually,

I haven't seen her all day.

Right, the 24th,

she's in the city.

Is she mad at me?

Has she said anything to you?

No.

She's kind of a private person.

I'm sure if she's mad,

you must have done something.

Look, she really likes you.

Don't be a dick.

I'll work on that.

Thanks, I wasn't planning on it,

but thanks for the advice.

One thing I know about men,

you can't help it.

You just sneeze the wrong way,

and you break our hearts.

Return to my beautiful city

Black skies changed into blue...

Ryan?

Ry?

Ryan?

What? I'm not sleeping.

Surprise!

I forgot to call you.

I've noticed.

How very coming of age of you.

I miss you.

I have something incredibly

important to tell you,

like, it is insane.

Can I come by after the meeting?

- Yes.

- Okay.

Good luck and...

What? Oh...

It never hurts with those two.

Mm, thanks

for the pick-me-up.

Your little hippy polka song

sounded weird at first,

I'm not gonna lie.

That wasn't even finished.

It was a mess.

It sounded like

a Bar Mitzvah video or something.

Yeah, it sounded Jewish.

Yeah, like really,

very Jewish, actually.

But people are into hipsters.

Oh, everyone's

moving to Brooklyn.

We took your song

and pumped it up a little bit,

put a little beat behind it.

And immediately...

- I saw fragrance.

- Oh, yeah, fragrance.

I saw girls crying

about their boyfriends.

Just crying.

- I saw covers of magazines.

- Magazines.

- You are relatable.

- Yeah, and relatable sells.

Do you understand

what we're saying?

I think so.

Catherine, get a lawyer.

We want to sign you.

See, you plus a beat,

it's record gold.

Okay, record gold, baby.

What... what do you mean

by "plus a beat"?

Party over here.

Party over there.

See?

A-mazing, huh?

Just one moment.

I love it.

Let me play you the new stuff.

Catherine, hey, can we talk?

- No.

- Please, please.

- No way, no.

- Please just don't walk away.

How did you even know

that I was here?

Sally.

Sally.

It's good to see you.

Can we just go get a glass

of wine and just... please?

Just one little glass.

- You know, no.

- Just to talk.

You know what,

I have this thing tonight in Woodstock

and I was supposed

to go say hi to Ryan,

and, sh*t, I don't want

to go back in there.

Listen, look, look at you.

Look how stressed out you are.

Let's just go focus on you

for one night.

Come on.

Oh, God, I real... I miss this,

like, being open with you

and I'm just being

so open with somebody.

You're not open

with your French girl?

I think I need to go

into treatment, like a rehab.

I-I...

I think I'm a sex addict.

I need to curb this thing in me

that just wants to sabotage things

and have sex with them

and just be gluttonous

'cause I think

have boundary issues,

and I... I...

I think I... you know what?

I think I want

to be gluten-free,

and I just want to change

everything about myself

so you won't even recognize me,

and I'll do that today,

I will change everything...

right now.

I mean it.

Where-where's your ring?

I sold it.

You...

Well, I deser... I deserve that,

but here's the thing, Cat.

Ten years is ten years,

and things were getting weird

between us.

You know, and I messed up.

Everyone messes up.

You make mistakes.

Okay, I made bigger mistakes,

but... Catherine,

you know that we always

come back to each other.

You know we do,

and I have always

been here for you.

I know everything

about everything about you.

Doesn't that mean something?

And I...

I mean, I'm an idiot,

but I'm your idiot.

And your idiots

are hard to come by.

Tell me.

Oh, where is my phone?

Come on.

Lee Ann, lam so sorry.

I just have a lot going on.

And I was in the city

and Abundant Records

wants to sign me,

but they ruined my song.

- Abundant Records?

- Garret showed up.

- That's where you were?

- It's a long story.

I just-last night

was not working out for me.

That's what I've been helping

you write for,

that horrible sell-out company?

See, this is why

I didn't want to tell you,

because I thought

that you would react like this.

That company is pretty major.

Did you forget how they

fired you without a glance?

They make music that you hate.

Well, maybe I don't care.

You don't care about your work?

Yeah, maybe I want to sell out.
