the feetsies on this side.

A little bit more?

Okay.

There you go.

Perfect, like a little burrito.

- Okay.

- Hey, Liam,

can I ask you a question?

Yeah, sure.

What happened?

I mean, why did you

leave my mama?

Oh, man. Um...

Well, the short answer

is that I was young

and dumb.

And that's pretty much

the long answer, too.

All I can tell you is that...

this one night

me and your mom were singing

in a karaoke bar.

We were just goofing around,

but as luck would have it,

this record exec

heard me singing,

and he asked me

to record a song,

and then next thing I know

it's all over the radio,

and then I'm off on tour,

just like that

like one big wild tornado.

But why didn't you take

my mama with you?

I wish I did, Billy,

really I do.

But I...

I was so young,

I just... I didn't...

I didn't know...

I didn't know how to handle

being famous.

I guess I just...

I got lost

and I got lost

for such a long time

and I couldn't find my way back.

But you find your way back now.

You're back, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm back, Billy.

I'm back.

- Hey, Liam.

- Uh-hmm?

Could I...

maybe call you Dad?

Dad?

Yeah, I would love that

more than anything,

- really.

- Uh-hmm.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Okay. Good night.

- Good night.

Bye.

- You're going to go to sleep?

- Uh-hmm.

Uh...

Billy just asked

if she can call me Dad.

Yeah.

That's a lot of responsibility.

Yeah, I know.

It's forever, Liam.

I know.

I'm ready.

Okay.

Okay.

I should probably get

inside or something.

Oh, ooh.

- Are you okay?

- I'm just a little bit tipsy.

Think maybe

you could drive me home?

Nope.

Dad, I'm going

to drive Josie home.

You roll through life

like a rolling fire

I bring the rain

like a thunderstorm

You and me

Wild as a willow

in a hurricane

Strong enough to stand

in the stormy weather

We might be crazy enough

To make history

Because the world

just ain't the same

Since we got together

And if we don't die young

We might just live forever

You know, there is something

I would kind of love

to do with you.

Yeah?

- Uh-hmm.

- What's that?

I would love

to go on a date

with the Liam Page.

Now, come on, I never got

to experience that with you.

You know, we could

get all dressed up,

go for a fancy dinner somewhere,

drink tons of champagne,

watch your fans go nuts.

I'd love

to do that with you.

Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Hmm.

Are you ready for that?

Oh, I'm ready.

For a date, that is...

with the Liam Page.

How's Saturday night?

Perfect.

Better call your people.

Let them know you're coming out

of that Caribbean rehab.

My publicist

is going to be so thrilled.

Night.

Night.

Oh, my gosh,

he gets on my nerves.

Uh-hmm.

Then he gives me

- like an hour.

- Failed the math test.

- But... exactly.

- Yes.

Because we don't even know.

- Hey, Billy.

- Hey, Dad.

Hey, girls.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- See you tomorrow.

- Yeah.

- Bye.

- Bye, Liam.

Bye, guys.

Bye.

What's that?

Behind your back, what's that?

- Behind? Where? What?

- Behind your...

- This...

- What? In that hand?

- Here, right here...

- I can't see it.

- ...right here...

- I can't see even a thing.

- Right here, I got it.

- I can't even see a thing.

You got it.

You got it.

You got it.

You got it.

You didn't?

I did. You want to do it?

- Yeah!

- Yes?

All right.

Grampy's in his car,

so we're going to just

have to walk, I think.

Why is my car seat

in there, then?

I just... I don't know,

I put it in there just in case.

But I can pick the car up later.

- Come on.

- No,

I'll take it.

You'll take the convertible?

Yeah.

What about all the stats

you told me about?

Sometimes I got to let go

and walk on the wild side,

right, Dad?

Trusting everything's

going to be okay.

You are something else, Billy.

What kind of...

what kind of music

you want to listen to?

Well, the only one

there is, country!

That's my girl.

- Guess what?

- Woo.

You can ride

- In my little red wagon

- Woo-hoo.

Yeah, Dad,

now we're living.

The front seat is broken

- Woo-hoo.

- And the axle

- Is dragging

- Yeah.

- Woo!

- Yeah.

You can't step

to this backyard swagger

- Woo-hoo.

- Woo.

You know it ain't

my fault when I'm walking

Jaws dropping like, "Ooh."

Wow. Where did you

get this dress?

I borrowed it

from Ms. Laura.

She wore it to a Mardi Gras ball

down in Baton Rouge.

It's pretty, isn't it?

You're going to look

like a movie star in it.

Thank you, sweetie.

Can I put it on?

- Okay. Just lips, okay?

- Uh-hmm.

Uh-hmm.

It feels perfect, uh-hmm.

- Want me to put a little on you?

- Uh-hmm. Uh-hmm.

Okay.

Ooh.

How did I get

so lucky to get you?

- Oh.

- I'll get it.

Excuse me, sir?

Do you have any idea

where you're taking me?

Mr. Page wants it

to be a surprise for you.

Wow.

I've never seen what New Orleans

looks like from up here.

It's quite a view,

isn't it?

She lived just over there.

We're going to land

right on the roof

of that hotel.

- Right, Jimmy?

- That's right, Mr. Page.

Wait. We're going to land

on that tiny roof?

Yes, we are.

Are you okay with that?

I guess so.

Well, hold on,

here we go.

Liam.

Oh, welcome.

Welcome, guys,

to the French Quarter.

- Cody, you're up.

- Great to see you

- on Southern soil again, Liam.

- Hey.

You too, Cody. Yeah.

It's great to be here.

Yeah. On behalf

of everyone watching

on Country Music Live right now,

I think we'd all love to know

who is the beautiful woman

on your arm?

This is the one.

What's her name?

What's her name?

That's all I got, guys.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Oh, baby,

I'm caught up in your storm

I love your rain

pouring down

Ooh, washing over me

I want to feel you

under these clouds

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm caught up

in your storm

Now, does this mean

that the music just stopped

and everyone just walked

off the dance floor?

I think they did.

I still haven't

opened my eyes yet.

Wow. Yeah, they did.

Thank you.

For what?

For showing me...

how my life could be

with you in it.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Good night.

Go.

This is Sam, leave it.

Hey, Sam,

give me a call back.

I need to talk

to you about the tour.

That smells amazing, Johnny.

- Thank you, Josie.

- Hey.

Hey, now.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Oh, hey, hold up.

- Go. Go. Go. Go.

We're all about

to sit down and eat.

We're hungry lions, man.

Yeah.

We're hungry lions.

- All right.

- All right.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

You don't eat like that.

You got to put

the blood on, nice.

I don't think it needs

too much blood.

It needs some blood, I'm going

to put some blood on mine.

- And then you gotta...

- Smear it around.

And then you got

to smooth it around like that,

and then you're going

to hold it in the middle

like this,

and then you're going

to

eat it like a lion.

We're the kings

of the jungle right now.

- We're the only...

- Well, you're the king

and I'm the queen.

How's that, good?

- Delicious.

- Hmm.

- What's up man?
