Jackie and Ryan Page #4

---

Chose this song, not that one, that city,

that condo, that loan, that man.

And here you are.

Here you are, you know?

No.

You don't ever ask yourself

how you got here?

- No.

- Not ever?

Every day I say, where am I gonna go next?

How am I gonna get there?

There's this guy in Portland,

friend of a friend.

He has a sound studio there.

Says he wants to record Georgie and me.

Good.

It's good, do it.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Sing 'em that song,

the one that's about me, yeah?

- Wh... what song?

- It's about me, isn't it?

- What is?

- Your song.

Hey.

Hey.

You gonna take me back down?

You wanna go back down?

No.

Okay.

My dad's an a**hole.

Well...

I'm sure he loves you.

Doesn't mean he's not an a**hole.

How was your dad?

I had a stepdad.

How was he?

He was an a**hole.

How long are you gonna stay?

Well, I gotta get done fixing

this roof first.

Then?

Well...

hard to say.

No, it isn't.

Hey, Cowboy, it's Ryan again.

Sorry I keep leavin' you

all these messages, man. I just...

I really want to talk to you

about this...

this music thing

I've been trying to work out.

Anyway, just... I don't know,

give me a call when you get a chance.

Talk to you soon.

All right, be safe. Bye.

So... how much?

$1175.

- We can give you a student discount.

- Yeah?

Yeah, 10 percent...

with tax, about $1065.

I might be back. Thank you.

Yeah.

- You're up?

- Yeah.

You got a loop in one

of those velvet board things?

All right, let's see what we got here.

- Hey! Hey! No, you can't do that here.

- Sir, I'm just playing a song.

Come on, go now

before I call the police.

- Go! Come on!

- All right.

Come on, come on, come on. Go! Git! Git!

Why don't you calm down?

I'm picking up my guitar and then

I'm walking away, all right?

I will call the police.

Only a lawyer can afford

a goddamn family day.

How'd you know where to find me?

You said you bought from your Dad.

Senior year we TP'd your house.

- That was you guys?

- Couldn't be helped, dude.

Do you know how every girl

on the cheer team had a crush on you?

They wanted to know

where Matt Ridenour lived.

Hey, you want some hot chocolate

or something? Cheryl just put some on.

How much you need, Matt?

Of what?

To put you on retainer.

I've got about seven or eight thousand,

is that enough?

Listen...

Wes's guy is huge.

We're talking major New York divorces.

I know, he's an old family friend of Wes's.

He went to my damn wedding.

- What's that mean?

- Lotta hours. Lotta, lotta hours.

What's that mean, Matt?

You know, my partners... well,

they'll kill me if I make it any less.

I mean, the firm's gonna need

a retainer of at least $30,000.

Okay.

Okay. I'll call you.

Answer your damn phone this time.

- Jackie, what are you gonna do?

- Answer your damn phone!

Jackie!

- Lia!

- Hey, Mom, whatcha doin' here?

- You gotta second, honey?

- Yeah.

Actually, the girls and I were just about

to head over to the nature center apiary.

How about we do one more round, on me.

- Awesome!

- Cool.

So we'd never go back to New York?

I'm not movin' forward with this

unless you're okay with it.

You know that. We're a team, you and me.

Did you like growing up here?

Hated it. Couldn't wait

to get the hell out.

- That's great. Just great.

- Until I left. Then I liked it.

I liked bein' from here.

It's a good place to be from.

What do you say?

You wanna be from here, too?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Hello? Hi, Virginia?

Hey, hey, hey, did Cowboy call?

I have here a poem that Scott...

'Cowboy'.

Everybody called him that... 'Cowboy'...

that Cowboy read

at his high school graduation.

It seemed like a real nice poem.

It's by E.E. Cummings.

"For whatever we lose, like you or me,

it's always ourselves

that we find at sea."

He didn't say much.

He never did say much.

He always did more than he said.

Ryan.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Listen, you want me to... help take care

of the baby for a sec, or something?

- No, I'm gonna hold him.

- Sure.

Yeah, I'm gonna hold him.

Ginny...

you gonna be all right?

It's not a gift,

and you don't owe me anything, either.

It's me, paying you back.

- I...

- Take it.

I'm gonna make...

good music on this.

I know you will.

For Lia, right?

Please leave a message.

Hey, Alfred, it's Jackie.

I got the documents that you sent over.

I'll be sure to look them over

before we meet.

It's really exciting that the condo

already has an offer.

I'll see you tomorrow morning

at the property.

Welcome aboard flight 967

to New York LaGuardia Airport.

We should arrive at about 1:40 AM...

Okay.

Hi, how are you?

Can I just get a cup of coffee?

Hey.

How are you?

Good.

Where am I gonna go next?

How am I gonna get there?

Where am I gonna go next?

How am I gonna get there?

Jackie, Jackie, hun?

Thank you for doing this so last minute.

You were so proud

when you bought this place.

I'm sorry to see it go.

The tenants kept it in real, nice shape,

though, so it should show well.

Though there were these twins that got

very creative with one of the bedroom walls.

But we'll just replace the appliances

and we should probably...

paint a little.

Did you talk to Wes, Alfred?

Yeah, Wes called and asked what time

we were meeting, so I told him...

- I'm sorry, I thought that he...

- It's okay.

Go.

Jackie.

Jackie!

What?

Do you even know what you're doing?

I guess we'll find out.

How much can you do for say,

three rooms?

Knew you would.

Jackie.

Jackie.

Buyer's final inspection

is the end of next week

so we gotta get you guys

in there to start...

Lia, honey, it's almost time for supper.

- Hey, Mom?

- Yeah, honey.

Is it okay that he went?

Yep.

Sometimes people just come through

to tell you something and...

then once you heard it, they go.

- Are you ever gonna go?

- From you?

Never.

I will be right here by you,

until you're ready to step away.

And then I'll be right there where I am

for you if you ever need to come back.

That's how that works, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Hey.

Old German fiddle... Schweitzer?

- Where'd you get that shirt?

- Hey! Ryan!

Hey!

- God.

- How are you?

Great. Hey, everybody, this is

my friend Ryan I was telling you about.

- Would you like some coffee?

- Thank you so much.

Yeah, a little rough?

Yeah, I could work

on my bowing a little bit.

One second and we'll be good to go.

Okay.

Tanner, king of the drop thumb.

What's that?

That sounds really good.

Straight to F.

Now D.

So you got any more like that?

Yeah.

You want to hear them?
