Heart and Souls Page #7

- Here she comes. Shh!

It's no use.

Nobody around here

will ever remember me or my children.

Oh, Penny, come on. We just started.

We'll try a couple of other places.

Was there a store you went to a lot?

We could go by, ask there.

Or church? Did you go to church?

Could she still be alive?

I know where the girls are.

- Where?

- They sent me birthday cards for a while.

- What sweet children.

- Yes, they are.

- Especially Diane. She's so thoughtful.

- Where?

Oh, they sent them to Sacramento.

There was a nice family there.

Name of, uh... Name of...

Timmer. Timmerson. That's it, Timmerson.

Little Billy, though, I lost track of him.

- They put him in a foster home.

- Oh!

And then they kept moving him around.

Thomas, what are we gonna do about Billy?

Those girls might know where he is, though.

Honk, honk, honk at him!

I don't believe this damn traffic!

Where are they all going?

Don't worry, Penny.

It's gonna be okay.

We're gonna get there.

This is silly. We can't drive

two hours to Sacramento.

It's not fair to you. It's not fair to Harrison.

Now, don't worry about me.

I'm perfectly happy to go last.

In fact, I've always wanted to see Sacramento.

I can't believe you're trying to wiggle out of it.

You're wiggling out of it.

Talk about your last chance.

What do you mean?

John's farm is on the way, isn't it?

- I've always wanted to see John's farm.

- Wait a minute. Thomas.

Find someplace to pull over.

Come on, pull over.

Look where these people are going.

I don't wanna be here.

I really don't feel that well.

I think I have a cold coming on.

A flu, actually!

Stop complaining.

Nah. They're sold out.

- That's it, let's go.

- Will you stop it?

They're sold out! We can't get in.

- He's right. We gotta find another place.

- No, we don't.

No, we don't. You just need a little help.

- No, no, no.

- Do it!

- Don't look at me like that.

- Do it!

- May I please?

- Oh, God. No!

Knock, knock. Who's there?

It's sold out!

Excuse me. If you're gonna be back here,

you have to have a pass.

A pass?

A pass!

I'm gonna pass some information onto you.

These bozos outside

got their trucks blocking my car in.

My Rolls Royce.

What're you talking about?

Where did you park?

Are you listening to me?

I just said I parked between your trucks!

That's why I can't move.

Don't you give me attitude. I'm a mother!

No, I mean, I'm a... I'm a doctor!

I'm a surgeon.

I come down here as a favor to Mr. King.

You see, his hands are insured

for a million dollars.

Now, the insurance company's

not gonna let him walk out on stage until

they had him checked out by me!

Meanwhile, I got a medical emergency

downtown, but I can't get my damn car out!

Sir, just calm down.

Calm down? I am calm.

You want me to get loud?

I will get loud. I will get loud!

- If you want me to get loud!

- No, no, no! I, uh...

You get that manager right now and get his

butt down here and I might calm down.

Fine. I'll take you to him.

I'm not going anywhere!

You bring him to me. I'm a doctor!

I'll be right back.

- Not bad.

- Drama class, City College.

- You got us in.

- Harrison, take it away!

What? You expect me to get up

in front of all those people?

- They don't wanna see me.

- They can't see you!

Yeah, but I can see them!

Penny, what exactly is your plan?

My plan was to get you in here.

You're in here, now you two

get out there and sing!

The second I walk out there,

they're gonna grab me.

Exactly, we should be in Sacramento.

Thomas, you gotta make him do it.

It's very important to him,

whether he admits it or not.

Oh, it's not that important.

What? No! No! No! Ooh, no!

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Please rise for our national anthem.

Dear God, Thomas,

that's an incredibly difficult piece!

Perfect! Sing it right,

and they're gonna know you're good!

They bought it.

- You're on.

- Okay, Harrison, I'm all yours.

- I can't even remember the words.

- Get your butt in there.

- Come on, man!

- Came to see B.B. King!

- What's going on?

- Come on, man!

Let's go!

I can't. I can't!

What are you doing?

Look at me.

I'm not even alive and I'm perspiring!

You better not do this, Harrison.

Listen! This is it!

Who came up with this

ridiculous concept anyway?

Resolve your entire life in one bold stroke?

What if I fail?

And I will, I'll fail. I'm telling you, I always fail.

Then my whole life will be a complete failure.

No offense, Harrison, but you died a failure

because you never tried.

Oh, say, can you see

By the dawn's early light

Wha...

"What so proudly we hailed..."

What so proudly we hailed

At the twilight's

last gleaming

Whose broad stripes

and bright stars

Through

the perilous fight

O'er the ramparts

we watched

Were so gallantly streaming

And the rocket's

red glare

The bombs bursting

in air

Gave proof through the night

That our flag was still there

Oh, say, does

that star-spangled

Banner yet wave

O'er the land

of the free

And the home

Of the

Brave

Harrison, you did it!

Bravo! Bravo, Harrison!

Thank you, Thomas.

Thank you for believing in me.

I'm going on tour, you know.

Thrill is gone

The thrill is gone away

The thrill is gone, baby

The thrill is gone away

You done me wrong, baby

You'll be sorry

Don't get him mad,

just be really, really nice, Thomas.

We have to get out of here fast.

Welcome back, Mr. Reilly. How's showbiz?

I assure you, Sergeant.

I'm not drunk, I'm not on drugs.

Your blood test shows that.

So what is wrong with you?

It was just somethin' I had to do.

I'm going to assume that you've gotten

whatever it is out of your system.

- Oh, yeah.

- I'm gonna release you.

Thank you, Sergeant.

It's the last you'll see of me.

Bail is set at $300.

All right. But can I get something to eat?

- It has to be to go.

- God!

- Oh, Thomas.

- Anne! Hi!

God, what a night! God.

- How did you know I was here?

- I saw you get arrested.

Yes, I was at the concert

with my mother and...

- Father...

- Oh!

- This is really unfair.

- How could you do that to me?

- Baby...

- Don't call me baby.

I have hung in there with you

for a really long time.

I know!

-And you lied to me!

-I'm sorry.

You said you had to go to work.

You didn't say that you had to go sing

the national anthem and get arrested!

But I didn't know I was gonna do that!

It was just a spur of the moment thing?

Yeah! Actually, actually, it was.

And how come I don't even know

you can sing like that, huh?

- You keep that a secret?

- Because, because...

Because I don't do it very often. That's why!

- Was it okay?

- Yeah, it was good. It was really good.

You know, it's like

you're leading a double life.

Banker, lunatic performance artist.

Damn it, Anne, are you gonna let me explain?

Yes! Explain. I'm ready.

- Well, that just about clears it up for me!

- Anne, come on.

- Oh, God, I feel like such a jerk.

- Sweetheart!

Oh, come on,

you're acting like this is Days Of Our Lives!
