Bye.

Son.

Do you like me

like this?

At last, you finally

figured it out.

No, come on.

I mean, do you like me

how I am tonight?

You know what I liked?

I liked how into

the show you were.

How you actually

wanted to dance

and hang outwith us

riffraff afterwards.

That was cool.

Yeah, but do you

like me better,

you know,

like this?

Better than what?

Better than the normal Mia.

You know, with the hair and

the makeup and the clothing.

Mia, I don't give a sh*t

about your clothes.

Don't you get it?

The you you are now is the same

you I was in love with yesterday.

The same you I'll be

in love with tomorrow.

Can we go somewhere?

Yeah.

Wow.

What is this place?

It's an old boatworks shed.

One day, me and the band

are gonna fix it up

and we're gonna rehearse

and record here.

It's perfect.

So are you.

Adam.

Yeah?

I've never...

Just think of it like we're

playing music together.

Adam, that doesn't

make any sense.

Yes, it does.

All right, well,

take your jacket off.

0K3'! -

All right.

So we have four strings.

We have the C string

and G,

D:

and A.

And if I were

to play glissando,

it'd feel like this.

And if I were

to play pizzicato,

it'd feel like this.

And if I were

to play forte.

I know forte.

I ain't never

gonna shut you out!

Everywhere I'm looking now

Pm surrounded

by your embrace

Baby, I can see your halo

You know

you're my saving grace...

Intensive Care Unit.

Yeah, she is.

How are we, beautiful?

I told 'em that

I don't wanna leave you.

I'm not gonna let you

out of my sight.

We have another one from

the accident, Nurse Davis.

Dad. Thank God.

Oh, my God, George.

Is he going to be okay?

We're updating

his chart right now.

The doctor will be in

to speak with you shortly.

Dad?

Where is he? Where'd you guys take him?

Hljust finish writing the

orders and then she's all yours.

Girl's been

through the wringer.

Yeah. And this is the

easy part. Accident like that?

Mom was DOA.

Dad died on the table.

Poor kid's waking up

an orphan.

If she wakes up.

Mom.

Dad!

I'm getting you!

Whoo!

I love you.

Teddy.

1814...

Teddy.

Hey, little man.

Look at this room.

You got

the best place in the joint.

Are you okay?

That's right.

You just get some rest.

I'm not going anywhere.

Oh, Gran.

Hey, I just got here.

They're saying he's

through the worst of it.

They were assigning his room,

so, I thought I'd come here

before I checked in

on Kat and Den...

They didn't...

oh, my God!

Excuse me.

You're mine now, Teddy.

And no matter what,

I will never leave you.

We're gonna make it.

Listen, I need

to do something.

But I promise you, Teddy.

Adam.

You came.

Listen. You can't let Teddy

grow up without a family.

You have got to fight.

You can do this.

You have to do this.

Mia!

Excuse me.

Sir!

Mia!

Adam.

Mia!

Mia!

Being with Adam

was like learning to fly.

It was exciting and scary,

all at the same time.

That spring was

a magical time.

Adam's band was

playing bigger clubs

and festival in

different cities.

Once he graduated, they started

getting booked even more.

By the fall, record labels

were taking notice.

People were taking

notice of me too.

I was the first high

school student ever invited

to perform solo at

the college's fall recital.

And even though

Adam was away a lot,

when he was in town, we spent

all of our time together.

I can't believe I'm stuck

at school for another year.

It'll go by fast.

You still thinking of

applying to Lewis & Clark?

Yeah, of course. I mean, they

have a great music program.

I need someplace

with financial aid.

Maybe we can live around

the corner from each other.

Or we could shorten the commute

and get a place together.

Really?

That actually sounds

kinda perfect.

Kid's good.

Whoo!

Sir, I told you

you can't go in there.

What do you mean I can't go

in there? This is bullshit.

Sir,

you can't be in there.

You need to calm down.

ICU visitations

are restricted

to immediate family only.

Are you family?

All right, you got me.

I'm not family.

Come on,

just let him in!

Do I need to call security?

Adam.

Juilliard?

Just look on the computer

like you do

and see what it takes

to get in there.

They say it's

the best there is.

Of course it is,

but ifs across the country.

You know, and Lewis & Clark has an

amazing performance studies program.

Besides,

my whole life is here.

Dad, can I ask you

a question?

Always.

Do you ever miss

being in your band?

What brought this on?

You always say that you left

your band to become a better dad.

But you were a great dad

when you were in the band.

You didn't have to give up something

you loved so much just for us.

No, baby, ldidn't give

anything up.

I played

that adventure out,

and then it was time for a

new adventure with you guys.

And sometimes

you make choices in life,

and sometimes

choices make you.

Does that make

any sense?

Yeah. I mean,

I think that the cello

was a choice that made me.

There you go.

Do you think the band

would ever relocate?

No. Why?

I don't know.

To see someplace new.

Maybe New York.

I can't imagine. Portland's

where we're from, you know'?

Oh, yeah.

I gotta tell you something.

I have to listen to

what you have to tell me.

I'm going to buy

all of these albums.

Whoa.

The whole three bucks?

Slow down, big spender.

Whoo!

Whoa, Mom. Seriously, that

just makes me more nervous.

Sorry. Just ignore me.

Yeah. Just pretend

we're not here.

Dad, honestly,

how was that one?

I thought it was

fantastic, Mia.

You say that

about everything.

Because you're awesome. They

have to give you an audition.

Yeah, but you

don't understand.

This is Juilliard.

This isnt just

some punk album

where you can throw music at a

wall and hope it sounds all right.

Whoa.

I'm sorry.

I really didn't mean that

This is pointless.

I'm not good enough.

I thought the last one

was amazing.

Really?

I think I can do better.

Then let's do it.

0K3'! -

Yeah. Let's do it.

I miss you

every time you go.

It'll just be a few days.

Maybe more.

Well, I know you guys are
